Police are seeking help in solving a class car caper. A rare 1969 Chevy Camaro Rally Sport was stolen while it was in for repairs a Norcross automotive shop.
Kelly Calvo with IC Racing Corp said that someone took the vehicle after cutting the lock and breaking through the shop's gate on South Berkeley Lake Road early Monday.She said that the car's owner never got a chance to enjoy the vehicle."The owner purchased the vehicle, brought it straight here to get things worked on. So yes, it's very upsetting for them and for us," Calvo said. The owner of the shop believes someone targeted the vehicle because there are many other valuable cars on the lot and none of them were touched."It was drivable, whoever took it did drive it out," Calvo said. Gwinnett County police are investigating. Calvo hopes those who know what happened will call police."The owner is upset. It's a rare vehicle, he's working with us. We know him so he wasn't a new customer but we feel very bad about this," said Calvo.The auto repair shop says this vehicle is priceless. They're offering a $3,000 reward for the safe return of the classic Camaro.

LION Walk Fall 2011
Firing up a stadium filled with Blue and White faithful is an important part of being the Nittany Lion mascot, but becoming the Nittany Lion means much more. It means carrying on the legacy of a proud and time-honored tradition as an important symbol for Penn State and every Penn Stater. Recently, as this year's new candidates presented their Penn State pride and crowd-pleasing talents to the judges, some former mascots discussed what it really means to be the Nittany Lion. It's more than meets the eye in this Penn State In Motion video reflecting the sights and sounds of Nittany Lion tryouts.

Annual death data have been tabulated by sex, race/ethnicity, age, and underlying cause of death for residents of selected municipalities in New Jersey .
Table A:
Sex, Race/Ethnicity, and Age
Table B:
Cause of Death
Geographic data quality:
Mortality data are presented for the 341 municipalities in which the quality of death certificate data on residence is sufficient. Death data for the remaining 225 municipalities believed to have a relatively high level of uncertainty in allocation of municipality are included in the respective "balance of county" group. For more information on the problem of assignment of municipality of residence on vital records, go to: www.nj.gov/health/chs/releasable.htm.
Data source change:
The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) used multiple cause of death (MCD) files compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for the 1999-2002 New Jersey Health Statistics reports. The single cause of death (SCD) file compiled internally was used to produce the mortality tables in New Jersey Health Statistics, 2003. For the updated 1999-2003 Municipality-Level Deaths by Selected Characteristics tables above, linked SCD-MCD files were used. There are several differences between the SCD and MCD files and the linked files offer the best aspects of each:
Change in race/ethnicity reporting :
In 2005, CHS began presenting death data for the following race/ethnicity groups: White (non-Hispanic), Black (non-Hispanic), Hispanic (of any race), Asian/Pacific Islander (non-Hispanic), and Other Races (non-Hispanic). In the past, death data were usually only presented for White, Black, and All Other Races, regardless of Hispanic ethnicity. The data in the above tables have been updated to correspond to the race/ethnicity groups currently in use. For detailed discussions on the quality of race and ethnicity reporting on death certificates, go to www.nj.gov/health/chs/asian/asianmort89-98.htm and www.nj.gov/health/chs/hispanic/hispmort89-98.htm.
Changes in cause of death classification beginning in 1999:
The classification of causes of death changed in 1999. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a product of the World Health Organization and is used worldwide. The United States adopted the Tenth Revision of the ICD (ICD-10) in 1999. The revision not only affects the codes and names assigned to causes of death, it also affects the rules for selecting the underlying cause of death and the grouping of causes for tabulation and selection of leading causes of death. Because of this, 1999-2003 cause of death data are not directly comparable to data from previous years. To make 1994-1998 deaths coded under the ninth revision (ICD-9) comparable to current data, NCHS has computed comparability ratios for major causes of death. When applied to 1994-1998 deaths coded in accordance with ICD-9, the comparability ratios allow for trend analysis. NCHS does not recommend using these ratios with data prior to 1994.

Firefighters spent the day battling a two-alarm blaze at the One Steel Recycling Plant on 22nd Causeway near the Port of Tampa Monday morning. The flames were intense and the smoke was so heavy, it even cast a cloud above downtown St. Pete.
"About 3:15 this morning, it was fireworks, like a 4th of July grande finale, just sparklers, like the ones you blow in the air and then after that a small flame, and it grew to what it became," said Chris McConnell, a transportation dispatcher who works in the building across the plant.
Firefighters had several challenges, including a diesel tank at the back of the plant. They used foam and a cooling monitor to prevent the fire spreading even more. In addition, they had to clear the pile of metal.
"The space was very limited in there and the recycling company had its own equipment in there, so getting that equipment out, you see we have ladder trucks in a triangle formation basically shooting water at each angle," explained Nacole Revette, Public Information Officer at the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
Investigators are still trying to find out what sparked the fire. Meanwhile, it's the first time the plant has had such a huge blaze.
"There's always an explosion over there of some sort or be it a propane tank or sometimes they'll be gas left, but the fireworks, that was the first I've seen that," Chris said.

Aging Network
SUBJECT: Teleconference on
Health Care Quality for Seniors
LEGAL AND RELATED : Older Americans
Act, as Amended
The purpose of this memorandum is to invite
you to participate in and share information with service providers
and older Americans about a teleconference which will be nationally
broadcast from Washington, D.C. on Monday, December 15, 1997,
from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., EST. The subject of the teleconference
will be "Health Care Quality and Managed Care for Older Persons,"
and will be jointly sponsored by the Administration on Aging (AoA),
the SPRY (Setting Priorities for Senior Years) Foundation, the
Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), the Health Resources
and Services Administration, and other public and private organizations.
The teleconference will focus on issues
related to managed care and older people and will present the
results of a survey of health care quality for older people which
focused on the efficacy of flu and pneumonia vaccination programs
for seniors. Topics to be discussed include the importance of
educating seniors about their managed care choices; new initiatives
in community-based managed care for underserved populations; a
case study of immunizations programs for seniors; and how older
people can use performance measures to make decisions about managed
care plans.
This broadcast is part of a demonstration
to test the effectiveness of satellite television programming
in getting time-sensitive information to appropriate individuals
and organizations at the local level. The SPRY Foundation will
be working with seven down-link sites and a lead local organization
in each community to assure a diverse audience and to collect
data for analysis to determine the effectiveness of this forum.
A list of these sites and the lead organizations are attached
to this memorandum. A team from the University of Maryland will
develop the evaluation methodology and analyze data. In addition,
a toll-free telephone hook-up will allow audience members to ask
questions of the panel members during the forum. Follow-up sources
for more information will also be provided.
The AoA, the SPRY Foundation and the other
partners in this national forum believe that the information to
be presented in this broadcast is of interest to a wide-ranging
audience including seniors, their families, and a broad spectrum
of formal and informal caregivers. This live television broadcast
will be accessible to almost all community down-link sites in
the United States. These down-link sites frequently exist in local
community colleges and universities, chambers of commerce, armories,
hospitals, agricultural extension offices, movies theaters, and
other local institutions.
The AoA encourages you to work with organizations
in your community to identify, sponsor and/or host and advertise
the availability of down-link sites in their community as a public
service. The SPRY Foundation has posted information on its Internet
Home Page (www.spry.org) on how to down-link the satellite broadcast
as well as other information regarding the program and additional
referral information. Material from the home page can be printed
in advance and distributed to the local audience. The SPRY Foundation
will have an evaluation questionnaire on its website, which participants
may complete after the session.
Since the information to be provided will
be of interest to both older consumers and providers of service,
we suggest that the local audience be diverse. Audience participants
should include seniors and their families; agencies counseling
seniors about their health care; hospitals; nursing homes; assisted
living facilities; HMO's; physicians, nurses, pharmacists and
other professional groups; benefits advisors in local business
and labor unions; local representatives from government agencies,
including the HCFA, health departments, Area Agencies on Aging,
Social Security Offices and Agriculture Extension Offices; and
media representatives. We also suggest that you or other sponsoring
organizations consider the possibility of holding a discussion
session with your audience to talk about local options following
the formal broadcast.
Attached is a draft agenda for the forum,
including a list of invited speakers and their topics. We urge
you to share this information with others in your community to
make this a successful and exciting event.

Several things to talk about in the Atlantic Basin today.
Tropical Depression Gabrielle...located about 30 miles SSW of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and is moving toward the northwest at 9 mph. Maximum sustained winds are down to 30 mph, hence the downgrade from tropical storm status. Dry air and increasing wind shear are taking their toll on Gabrielle and there is a chance it may degenerate into a remnant low by Friday.
Disturbance 99-L...is a broad area of low pressure about 150 miles east of Tampico, Mexico and is moving to the west-northwest. Interest in 99-L increased today as the system became better organized. This system is expected to continue moving WNW and move into Mexico on Friday. There is a chance it could develop into a topical cyclone before it makes landfall.
Neither Gabrielle nor 99-L are expected to have any influence on the weather here in central Louisiana.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic Basin, no systems are showing potential for development in the near-term.
I'll update again Friday.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU-Woodchucks) -- Rob Bennie's second home run of the night over the right field wall in the bottom of the ninth gave the Woodchucks a 3-2 victory over the Battle Creek Bombers. A broken bat single by Woodchucks' catcher John Clay Reeves bringing home Tyler Stieb gave the 'Chucks an early 1-0 advantage.
A single by Bombers' designated hitter Drew Carlile, in the top of the sixth inning, brought home Matt Fears to even the game at one. Rob Bennie would come up to bat with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning and with one swing of the bat give the Woodchucks a 2-1 advantage. In their next at-bats the Bombers would tie the game up at two thanks to a home run from Greg Velazquez.
The first batter for the Woodchucks to walk up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth would be Bennie and he delivered again as he hit his second homerun of the night with a blast over the right field wall. The Lakeshore Chinooks come to Athletic Park on Saturday night to begin a two-game series against the Woodchucks. Come out and see the Russian Bar Trio! First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. Saturday with gates opening at 5:35 p.m.

The family of a 2011 high school graduate says he was the light of their lives.
Now that he's gone forever, they are living with horrible pain and reminded every day that they don't know exactly what led to the fiery crash that claimed the life of 20-year-old Galen Mallory.
"The first few days we walked around in shock," said his grieving mother Elaine Mallory. "We had to go plan a funeral for a 20-year-old. He was planning on going to college this fall. He came home for lunch that day and I told him he needed to go ahead and register for school the next day as my daughter would have to do. He had so many plans and had so many friends and brought so much joy. And gone."
June 25, 2013 is the day they will remember forever. It was about 6:30 p.m. when Galen Mallory was driving down Highway 219 in West Point on his way to meet friends.
A witness says a gray SUV two cars ahead of him was weaving in the lane and crossed the center line, forcing a driver coming in the other direction off the road. That driver was able to avoid the accident, but then he overcorrected and hit Mallory head-on.
The witness says the erratic driver slowed down, but never stopped. Now three months later, no one has ever heard from that driver, and that's why the family is offering their own money, bringing the total reward for information to $7,000.
Mallory's mother says she will never feel at peace until she knows everything about what happened during the last moment in her son's life. It's the still open-ended investigation that makes an already unbearable loss impossible to accept.
"It's just not the same without him, and he's only twenty-years-old, with life just starting for him...." she said.
The Georgia State Patrol wants to talk with the driver who would have been heading south on Highway 219 at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday June 25, 2013.
Investigators want to stress that this driver is not necessarily going to be charged with a crime. The information that person may be able to add will do a lot to bring closure to this grieving family.

The Band Perry will premiere their sophomore album, Pioneer, with a free show in their hometown of Greeneville, TN on March 30. The album doesn't hit stores until April 2, so the sibling trio's friends and neighbors will be the first to hear the new music. The group's lead singer Kimberly Perry feels like this is the perfect place to start the journey of the Pioneer album.
"To know where you're headed, sometimes you have to know where you've been," Kimberly tells ABC News Radio. "So, for us to begin the journey of having this album out in the world, we felt like our hometown, the place that we are starting from, was so important to have that be the premiere."
The Band Perry will sign autographs following the show, and the group actually performed a free show in Greeneville to celebrate the release of their debut album a few years back.
Neil Perry says, "It's really great to kind of give back to Greeneville that's given us so much. You know, they've supported us through everything. So, this is our kind of thank you to them."
Pioneer features The Band Perry's latest #1 hit, "Better Dig Two," as well as their latest single, "DONE."
The Band Perry's Greeneville concert is presented by the Greene County Partnership to raise awareness of Outnumber Hunger. The Band Perry is this year's face of Outnumber Hunger, a campaign to fight hunger from General Mills, Big Machine Label Group and Feeding America.

Making your own raw jam is easy peasy! This recipe is wonderful to spread on; raw crackers, breads, spread in between cake layers or on brownies. This would also be wonderful spread on the banana crepes! I can't express enough to make sure that you purchase only organic strawberries. They are one of the top rated fruits on the "Dirty Dozen" list, meaning that they are high in pesticides when you don't purchase organic.
Equipment Needed: (my personal recommendations)
Is there a replacement for dates? They are so high in sugar, which I have to watch due to fructose malabsorption. Can you use Irish moss? What about Goji Berries?

After missing the team's first 45 games of the season due to shoulder surgery, it was questionable just how much progression Nicolas Batum
could make out of a shortened season. It didn't take long for the
second year forward from France to let it be known that he wasn't
satisfied with his rookie production. In just his second game back from
injury, Batum showed off a new and improved offensive repertoire, which
included a quicker release on a more accurate jump shot as well as the
ability to shoot off the dribble. Along with being the team's most
suffocating perimeter defender and a highlight real waiting to happen
with his patented chase-down blocks,
Batum saw his offensive numbers spike up all across the board in 2010.
His points nearly doubled from 5.4 to 10.1, he lead the team in
three-point percentage at 40.9%, shot 84.3% from the foul line, and
improved his field goal shooting nearly 7% from .446 to .519. He has
already showing signs of becoming the next great small forward in this
league, but what is most vital to achieving that goal this summer?
Gain Weight
Along with being the team's
top wing defender, Batum is also the most versatile. Outside of
guarding centers, he has proven to be capable of guarding an array of
players, from the extensive 7'0" Dirk Nowitzki to the accelerated 6'0"
Chris Paul. Although the spectrum of players he's able to shut down on
a nightly basis is immense, there is one prototype which gives Batum
fits, the strong, bulkier small forwards of the league. Guys such as
LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony use their size and brute strength to
over match Batum's 6'8", 210 lb. frame.
Batum's God-given wingspan of 88 inches, normally used to disrupt and
suffocate his prey, is taken out of the equation when trying to guard
players of over 230 lbs., because of their ability to do all of their
damage down low on the blocks and muscle their way to the hoop and/or
the foul line. A player everyone compares Batum's potential to, Scottie
Pippen, had the same physical attributes as Nico (6'8" tall, 87 inch
wingspan), except he played around 225 lbs. To allow these comparisons
to come to fruition, Mr. Batum should become friends with the weight
room this summer as soon as his shoulder heals up 100%. Continue Reading>>>

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — Roughly 100 members and sympathizers of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) protested outside of the Broward County Courthouse yesterday, according to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.
The protesters are upset with the county''s negotiations with janitorial services provider TCB Systems Inc., the story stated.
According to SEIU statements, TCB Systems has been bouncing workers'' checks, harassing union members and that the county should choose another contractor.
TCB maintains the campuses of Nova Southeastern University, where SEIU members were fired in 2007 after a union drive, the story noted.
SEIU members are angered that they have lost contracts to non-union companies that mistreat employees, the story added.

Have you ever opened a pomegranate and then ended up looking like you
were bleeding all over? committed murder? Well, here's the easiest way to open a pomegranate without making a big mess.
So now that you've successfully opened the pomegranate, whatcha gonna do with it? Here is a gallery of some of my favorite recipes I've found online:
There's a far easier way–cut the pomegranate in half and cup one half in your hand (cut-side facing your palm, and down) while you tap the skin side on top with a wooden spoon. The seeds come out very easily.
Love this, Jaden! Thanks for sharing!
If you want to preserve the integrity of your seeds, slice a little round off the top first. That lets you see the areas where the segments are separated. If you run your knife along the sides, following the segments, you can open it like a flower, and avoid cutting into any seeds.
LOVE IT! I've so had bad drama with opening pomegranates! Also have had issues in the past few years of picking ones that when i got them home were rotten inside.
Luckily costco has a 4 pack of seeded in the cold section! Woot!
But now that i can stay clean, maybe i'll try again!
Love this, Jaden! Thanks for sharing
I am excited to see that you started doing videos as well. I was just wondering why you decided to have only "half of you"? I am no expert but I think your smile is your brand…
I love all of your tips! I look forward to them. Thank you so much for all you do!
Thanks so much for including the Delicata Squash Salad in your links, Jaden!
Nice to see a video demonstration. Thanks.
I agree with a previous commenter that you have a beautiful smile, Jaden! I love ,your videos, and this is a great tip. Thanks for sharing!
This is totally the best way to do this!
Best tip ever! Thanks for the video!

Reading L.A.: A Reyner Banham Classic Turns 40:
… Banham, who was in his early 40s on those initial trips to California, saw two kinds of promise in Los Angeles: first as a new sort of 20th century city, in his view liberated rather than thrown into chaos by its lack of planning, and second, just as important, as the vehicle for a fresh approach to writing architectural history.
A champion of Pop Art and pop culture, Banham had already shown his impatience with traditional notions of beauty, architectural scholarship and city-making in his work of the 1950s and early 1960s. His membership with the architects Alison and Peter Smithson, the photographer Nigel Henderson and others in the so-called Independent Group in London put him at the center of early debates in Britain about how to demolish those old critical and historical standards for good.
In Los Angeles he found his ideal subject: a globally important but under-scrutinized city he could explore in relative anonymity, diving deeply into a place typically written off as superficial. "Los Angeles does not get the attention it deserves," he wrote in "Four Ecologies." "It gets attention, but it's like the attention that Sodom and Gomorrah have received, primarily a reflection of other people's bad consciences."

Calima Bird Triptych 50 55
Beautiful! I ordered these for my family room. I hung them over the sofa. The sofa is a PB sectional in a wheat color and the wall behind it is painted a soft warm brown. They look beautiful. I needed something for the room that was peaceful and not a piece of art work that hits you in the face when you enter the room. I am very happy with my purchase. They are made really well and I love the little pops of color here and there, such as red, blue and even a touch of purple. Don't hesitate you will love them! June 22, 2014
A great find The Calima Bird Triptych is beautiful and a lovely addition to my living room. It fills a large area with pretty colors and a very nice scene. June 5, 2014
love the Calima Bird Triptych This is the perfect addition to our great room. Our house is all wood and stone, in muted colors, and in the woods. The bird wall art looks like it was commissioned for the space. I debated for a long time, afraid it would look too rustic. It is perfect. May 22, 2014
Perfect! We have a curved wall that was difficult to decorate. Saw the triptych a few months ago and finally decided to order it. It is fits our wall perfectly. The colors are lovely, some muted and others, as in the birds themselves, vibrant and they coordinate perfectly with our wall and rug colors. We were afraid they would be too rustic, but no, they have a very nice antique look to them. Even better they were on sale! We couldn't be happier! December 12, 2013
My Wife Loves It I purchased the Calima Bird Triptych for my wife's birthday and mounted it over our bed while she was at work. Upon returning home she was thrilled. The artwork on the engineered wood panels is subtly beautiful and served to really warm up the room. The panels are substantial and not difficult to hang. I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, the quality of the product, and the timeliness of delivery. Mostly I was pleased that my wife was pleased. December 5, 2013
Really, really, nice---perfect. I had been looking for something to hang above our bed for a long time. Finally, I found it and could not be happier. The quality of this purchase is so nice, easy to hang and I'm so happy with the way it looks. Delivery was fast and packaged perfectly. Very satisfied customer. February 27, 2014
Calima Bird Triptych It was even better than I expected. I have one panel in between some hanging shelves and the the other two on each side of a window. April 10, 2013
Nice product Calima Bird Triptych: Good delivery time Good final effect Bad hanging wires on back of panels-uneven lengths make hanging more complicated. Happy with product and service. September 4, 2012

Speak Out With Chuck - Freedom of Religion
Has the Obama Administration changed its tune?
Topics: Chuck Colson, Politics & Government, Worldview
Freedom of Religion/Worship
I have not been persuaded by your parsing of the differences between freedom of religion and worship. The following article by Judd Birdsall gives a more objective perspective on this issue that I find most helpful http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2012/februaryweb-only/santorum-freedom-of-worship.html?start=2
Mike Moyer
Freedom of Religion
Hi Mr.Colson,
I do not have the smarts or education to comment on the issue, but this I know. When we start splitting hairs on wording, it's often when the devil is trying very subtly to change things just enough for us not to notice. It's the large bait and the tiny little hook story. It is strange that Mrs. Clinton's husband did just that. What is is I think was the use of words there, and we know what the outcome was there. Personally I think this is just another way Mr.Obama wants everyone to buy into his ideals, the problem is that Islam's radical followers will not. They have an agenda, and they are working very hard at achieving their goals. How long will it be before we make rules to protect their way of life, which contradicts ours.
My name is Michael Salman and live in Phoenix Arizona. I was found guilty for violating 67 counts of zoning ordinances because I gather on my property with my family and friends every Sunday and worship. Private Worship and the City violated me stating that i have to conform to commercial standards. We are trying to get help to file a federal lawsuit. Folks if this type of persecution is happening already here in America what else can happen. I am confused about what people call FREEDOM these days. So sad. I guess they want to tell us when they can interfere and when we can't.
Freedom of worship
It seems to me that the difference in freedom of religion and freedom of worship is the difference in the freedom of speech and the freedom of thought. We all have the freedom of thought, but our freedom of speech is constitutional, not a right decreed by the nations of the world. Freedom of thought is a private enterprise as is the freedom of worship. The freedom of religion is a public endeavor as is the freedom of speech.
Cut to the Chase
The President and his team simply need to answer two questions, in my view:
1. When they use "worship" and "religion," do they use them interchangeably? (and if not, how do they distinguish them)
2. If they truly believe in this/these freedoms, will they acknowledge that things like abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem cell science, etc. can certainly run afoul of certain religious groups' core beliefs and, as such, there should be no repercussions should members of those groups refuse to participate in these activities? Otherwise, there really isn't freedom of religion after all.
You should know that statements coming from an administration of avowed relativists are relative. To clarify - It's freedom of worship for Christians and freedom of religion for Muslims. I read an article today at http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2721
It's about time these things are finally being said but I feel even more radical than just discriminating between their "religion" and their law. To me calling a philosophy that teaches among other things that it's good to enslave and brutalize women and kill the infidel (you and me) a "religion" just because they believe in a God which in turn has the government sanctioning it, is a semantic nightmare from Hell that we're only beginning to experience. The 1st amendment reference to "religion" referred to Christian denominations as is clear from history and reading the previous drafts. At the time 96+% of the people were protestants. While Christianity has tolerance for other religions it shouldn't be misconstrued to take on the modern day understanding whereby equal validity is placed on all - even the most absurd and socially destructive doctrines. The only form of Islam that should be tolerated are those that disavow any and all adherence to any doctrine that is incompatible with a Judeo-Christian worldview. Why?- because that is what our country was founded on and what brought us to preeminence in the world. That is foundational to who and what we are as Americans. Anything outside that worldview should be properly catagorized as anything but a "religion" as intended by the authors of the 1st amendment.

To Jordan Bradish (September 02, 2010 11:45 AM)
Thanks very much for your comment on the term 'freedom of worship.' I frankly hadn't thought about it as the all-inclusive way to appeal to a postmodern culture in which many people have do-it-yourself God kits. Religion literally, from the Latin religiare, means to bind together, and binding together is not something that appeals to the postmodern world.
So you've raised a very interesting point. I'm not sure that the administration's thinking is quite that sophisticated at this point. My own hunch is that they're using 'worship' where it's least offensive to Muslims and 'religion' where it shows that we will protect them the most.
The problem is that words really do have meaning. And freedom of religion was debated by the founders and was clearly understood to be free religious exercise. The words of the First Amendment are very deliberately and well chosen. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Free exercise means putting your faith into practice, teaching your kids, evangelizing, etc. I think the President is smart enough to know that when he says freedom of worship he is limited that.
But my big worry is that people will get used to this, think it's no big deal, and watch it come around and bite us in some future court decision.
Chuck Colson
Isn't it possible that the President is simply trying (unsuccessfully) to be all things to all people?
To use the term "freedom of worship" in relation to postmodern, western culture is merely being collectively exhaustive. That kind of vagueness is a thorough inclusion of not only organized religion, but also all types of earth based religions, or any combination of idolatrous pursuit. Trying not to offend the relativistic Boomer generation must be exhausting!
On the flip side, all good politicians know their audience and a different approach must be taken if he is to win over the Muslim world. Here, the President uses a more traditional term, "freedom of religion," which gives credence and respect to well established, organized religion. The President knows that Muslims will not be won over by insincere western philosophies which, despite being widely held, are so inconclusive.

Thanks for trying to get clarification. I don't think this is one issue that the administration wants clarified.
Chuck Colson
I can't say for sure why the change in language, but I did email the president after one of the earlier Breakpoint columns about this, asking him to clear up the change in terminology from "Freedom of Religion" to "Freedom of Worship". (Unfortunately, I did not get a reply that addressed my concern). His latest comments don't clear this up, but they do give some hope. At the very least we can quote his latest remarks for Muslims and say that what's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. So I think we need to keep contacting the White House about this issue.

To Brad Simmons September 02, 2010 10:28 AM
I hope you've seen my response to Jordan Bradish. You may think of worship as your whole life, and of course everything we do with our lives we offer up to God. It is in a sense worship.
But freedom of religion is a term with profound legal significance. Believe me, these two terms are fundamentally different, as historically understood.Chuck Colson
I'm Joe Average Conservative and I'm confused. When I think of 'worship', it's much bigger than an hour of participation in a worship service; it's a way of life! I want to live my life: work, act, & participate in activities that tell God that he is the only one to whom I give my worth-ship. If I want to build a Church and invite others to believe as I do, is this exercising freedom of worship or freedom of religion? I think of religion as something man has built as a framework for (attempting) to understand the superhuman or supernatural. We're men, so we also live within this religion framework. This is where my confusion originates -- are these 2 terms really different?
Functional atheist
At root it appears that the only label that properly fits President Obama is "functional atheist." He seems to express neither Christian nor Islamic faith. He waffles back and forth on so many issues that, with the adroitness of a master politician, it is hard to pin him down on many issues.
At heart he fits my definition of a humanist, devoid of spiritual insight and utterly convinced that only man has the capacity to solve his most pressing problems.
What disturbs me most is that he truly believes that fawning at the feet of the Islamic world will bring peace.
He fails to see the inconsistency in his own position and is quite prepared to ignore both irrefutable evidence as well as simple truth.
By claiming that Islam is a religion of peace he ignores the terror attacks, murders, and clearly barbaric behavior that occurs in every part of the world where Islam predominates.
Worse still he refuses to speak the truth even though he has facts that refute his public utterances. We Christians know that "the truth will set us free" and that is precisely the message the Islamic world needs to hear. It is not hate speech to say that Islam is a hateful religion. It is not hate speech to say that Islamic values are anathema to both Christians and western culture.
The president's public utterances do reflect moral cowardice though his motives may seem high. He believes that by speaking words of consolation he will reduce the violence. He remembers quite well the rioting in Holland and France and believes he will avoid inciting more of the same.
What he accomplishes instead is to leave Muslims content in their delusions about their religion. By failing to speak the truth there is none of the self-examination that is so fundamental to Christianity. Only when Muslims come to see themselves as Christ sees them will they start to question their religion and begin the journey to finding "the peace that passes all understanding."
With all that said the president is clearly opposed to true religious freedom. His support of abortion, his attempts to stifle free speech about the dangers of homosexuality, his contempt for public prayer, and his rejection of our fundamental Christian approach to governing are the clues to his world view. He rejects our American heritage which has Christ as the bedrock and the scriptures as core of our laws and moral compass.
Freedom of Religion
Thanks for asking Chuck. I am reading a small booklet from the Freedom Center by David Horowitz, the former "radical", entitled Rules for Radicals. He writes, from experience, about Saul Alinsky and his philosophy of political operation. Barack Obama was weaned on Alinsky's principles. One central tenet for Alinsky is deception; "...the radical's most important weapon..." (p.23). Alinsky, according to Horowitz, writes that a key strategy is to "work within the system until you accumulate enough power to destroy it" and "... don't confront the system as an opposing army; join it and undermine it from within" (p.29).
If Horowitz is right on with his research into Obama's background and philosophy, then we are seeing that philosophy in action in the matter at hand: language is being "used" in any way necessary to deceive in order to pacify the masses while a disguised agenda is being facilitated.
In other words, this use of language is no accident, but is an intentional tactic in a strategy with devious ends in mind.
Your Thoughts?
Freedom of Religion/Worship
You asked what I thought the President's and Sec of State's intents were re: subject. I think the President may be preparing us for dhimmitude. If not that, he is at least working on deconstructing the United States of America. Not that he is alone - both parties are complicit, neither are guiltless, but he is leading the effort. Very ably, I think. Sec of State Clinton is quite involved as well, I feel, because she likes power, and the burgeoning federal govt. assures that those with influence in the two major parties will have greater and greater power as we transition from a constitutional republic to a socialist (totalitarian) state.
The appeasement of double-speak

To Gilbert Torres September 02, 2010 1:48 AM
You have obviously thought this through very carefully. I think there's a very strong basis for believing that much of this is designed, I wouldn't say necessarily to appease Islam, but to placate it, to try to assuage their fears of the 'great Satan.' The President grew up as a Muslim child in a Muslim ghetto outside of Indonesia, so he's well aware, whatever his convictions today, that America is despised in much of the Muslim world. I think he's trying, like any good politician, to be liked. The problem is, from my perspective, that we are misleading the Islamic world. And the possible kick-back on us of playing with these words can be very dangerous, very serious.
Chuck Colson
I do not believe the ensuing confusion and double-speak between Freedom of Worship and Freedom of Religion by the administration are necessarily intentional. Yes, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton are skilled lawyers. However, being eloquent and skilled in law does not make a professing Christian necessarily knowledgeable in his own faith.
I have listened several times to then-Senator Obama speak extensively on faith. I believe the switch in terminology to Freedom of Religion is very much in keeping with his campaign faith message. It was a message of diluting generalizations and a barrage of questions. Questions, for example, such as whose Christianity would America follow were there only Christians living in America: Al Sharpton's, James Dobson's, Leviticus or the Sermon on the Mount? This popular tactic of throwing a barrage of questions often produces the desired effect to impress and dazzle the listener that the questioner must surely understand these things and must surely be knowledgeable. I have it said before. I mean no disrespect or disparagement to President Obama, but I do not believe he, particularly after viewing those videos and his eloquence notwithstanding, has a very solid grasp of his faith per the scriptures. That's not a disgrace, but it bears understanding.
I believe the administration's intended effect in the use of Freedom of Religion is appeasement of Muslim Arab regimes. This appeasement factor seems harmless enough when fed one spoonful at a time. The Muslim Arab regimes are appeased. I doubt the use of the code phrase escaped them (they too have lawyers) especially if they were alerted to listen for it in the President's message. Lest we forget the effectiveness of appeasement by one spoonful at a time: This is how Americans who objected and protested against the practice, embrace and legalization of homosexuality were appeased. They were reassured, sometimes a bit more militantly, sex between the consenting behind closed doors was nobody's business anyway. We now see how far that appeasement of what was once behind closed door has become an open-air spectacle in America.
Actually, this new message by the administration is more of a capitulation than appeasement. Personally, I am neither troubled nor upset by Muslims in America nor Islam in general. My personally faith and conviction in Jesus as Lord and the Spirit who indwells me empower me to interact and engage in discourse as I am given the opportunity. However, in the absence of a faith and conviction grounded on scripture and not eloquence the language of appeasement and other diluted generalizations of faith is the recourse of the Obama administration and countless individuals.

Of course Satan is behind the rise of evil. He is the prince of darkness, reigning in this world. He has been defeated by the cross, but we're still engaged in a clean-up operation. So you have to recognize that he's not going to leave us alone. And one of his great techniques is deception.
Thanks not only for signing the Manhattan Declaration but for praying regularly.
Chuck Colson Dear Brother Chuck,
It seems obvious to me that there is at the very least a fourth possibility for the reason(s) behind the current administration to "change its tune" regarding freedom of religion and/or worship. I believe, and I am fairly confident that you do, too, that Satan is alive and well on planet earth. And, that while he still enjoys the "freedom" God has granted to him, he does everything in his power to undermine the kingdom of God, along with every one of its efforts, principles, and its members. Also, he will continue to do so for as long as he is permitted to. And it further seems obvious to me that President Obama and practically every one of his "administrators" is under the influence of (at best), or possibly even possessed by (at worst) the prince of this world and/or his underlings. Hence, as long as Islam is allowed to flourish all around this world (along with every other false religion, ideology and movement) the better Satan likes it. But, he just can't stand for true faith in God (Christianity) to make headway by being "salt and light" or to continue one more day. I am not one of those believers who perceive demons behind every bush, Chuck. But it certainly cannot be denied that God's Word (The Bible) teaches that we do have an enemy who is actively opposing the kingdom of God and seeks opportunity to "devour" whomever he can. After all, in my bible the world is not supposed to get better for Christians, or anyone else for that matter.
Please allow me to clarify a little bit: Let's see…How can I put this? I am not sure if I have agreed with one single idea, decision, or action taken, by this administration since it has taken power. In addition, the Judicial and Legislative branches seem to be marching to the very same tune. To be fair, I do not follow the news media very closely. You see, I usually get pretty upset whenever I attempt to partake of our secular mainstream media sources. Therefore, I have chosen not to participate in that endeavor. I do, however, do my best to follow the Christian news sources every day. This includes BreakPoint, Two-Minute Warning, SRN Radio News, CitizenLink, Family News in Focus, as well as numerous radio programs, and the like. Thus, I suppose I am relatively unaware of much of what is being reported to many peoples of the world. But I just cannot stand listening to lies, lies, and more lies. It makes me feel bad.
So, that is my theory, Chuck - The devil is behind the scenes acting as a sort of "puppet-master." Please let me know what you think. And, Chuck, I really wish to thank you for all you do for the cause of Christ. Hang in there, Brother!
P.S. I have signed the Manhattan Declaration and have made a commitment to pray for our once-great nation for the next 40 days (starting today).

To Jason Eoff on September 01, 2010 11:31 PM
It's been 35 years since I practiced law. So I'm not sure I would be much of an authority on Texas law, and certainly not on divorce issues. I was under the impression, just as Tony Evans apparently is, that no-fault divorce is available just about anywhere. Telling me that you couldn't get a divorce, particularly when there are grounds, I find astonishing.
I'm not sure I quite understand what's happened. If you have been given a divorce without grounds, you are still justified before God if the grounds actually were adultery. You don't need a court decree to prove to God what has happened. So I'm not sure that it matters to you. If you have been denied a divorce even though adultery has been, as you put it, clearly established, then that's a wholly different matter. I can't conceive of a judge doing that, nor can I conceive of it standing up on appeal.
I don't agree with divorce, and I'm particularly grieved by what it does to children. I know about this first-hand. So I would sympathize with the judge's statement. But the law is the law. You can forward this to your website if you like. I really don't enough about the case to make a very informed comment.Chuck Colson
Mr. Chuck Colson,
I've been following your commentary regarding the current administrations attempts to redefine Religious Freedom in America with the inadequate verbiage Freedom of Worship. It is my opinion that the President, clearly a muslim sympathizer, is attempting to burn the candle at both ends. He wants to reassure the Muslim middle east that America is not involved to take away their culture and religion. American interest in the middle east involves democracy and capitalism. This is not such a difficult task with a name like Obama, however it is a little more difficult when speaking out of the side of your mouth to American Christians.
Clearly this is a challenge to the Constitutional Rights of Freedom of Religion. It is not reassuring to American Christians to demote our God given rights to that of simple worship. One may worship anything and anywhere - animal, vegetable or mineral. But the fact remains that the United States of America was formed by the blessing of Jesus Christ to his devoted followers we now refer to as "founding fathers". Not only does the muslim world need to be reminded of this fact but unfortunately every American needs to be reminded. I pray that this challenge to our Religious Freedom will result in revival and accountability to the Presidency, the Secretary of State and the party that they represent.
On a personal note, I have been involved in a divorce and custody suit in Collin County, Texas. Although clear, unarguable evidence and a deposed confession regarding adultery in the marriage by my spouse was presented, I was denied a divorce based on adultery. I argued to the court that I required a divorce based on adultery as practice to my religious faith Mat. 19:9. Judge Chris Oldner, Republican of the 416th District Court in Collin County, Texas (under a unique and little known court structure called the Office of Court Administration) denied my request for a divorce based on adultery. He stated that it was "not in the best interest of the children" and "that was between me and my god." Not only do I feel that my rights of religious freedom were denied and dismissed by the judicial system, my right to perpetuate my Christian beliefs to my children was also devalued. Dallas, Texas Baptist minister Dr. Tony Evans states that this country is "defining deviancy down" with "no fault" divorce decrees. It occurs to me that this Freedom of Worship ideology has crossed party lines and is now firmly rooted in local governments deep inside the bible belt of this nation. Where do we as main-line Christians go to protest this? How long will it take before it reaches the Supreme Court?
What is your opinion of courts in America that clearly defy the obvious constitutional rights of Christians? It would mean a great deal if you could post a comment to my readers at firstname.lastname@example.com.

To Harlan Brown on September 01, 2010 10:25 PMThere is a double standard, no question. Islam wants freedom of religion for their mosques here, but they will not grant freedom of religion to people of other faiths in Muslim countries. Hindus and Buddhists are often in a very similar position.
Chuck Colson
Obama's "religious freedom" statement was in the context of freedom for Muslims. The "freedom of worship" statements that I am aware of applied to Americans in general. If a double standard is intended, it is not his first time supporting such. He supported and VP Biden openly promoted Kenya's recently passed new constitution that implements portions of Sharia law only for Muslims in Kenya. (See "Vote on US-backed Kenyan constitution provides referendum on abortion and sharia" at http://www.aipnews.com/talk/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=16020.) Toss the idea of equal justice for all.
The Sinister Religion
To understand why President Obama says what he does, one must understand the core tenets of Islam. They are clearly stated in the short video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9rofXQl6w&feature=player_embedded
The rhetoric is confusing to us - but not to those who understand what Islam teaches.
Freedom of Religion
A question looms large in my thinking. WHY DO NOT THE LEADERS OF THE MUSLIM, HINDU AND BUDDHIST AND OTHER RELIGIONS IN NORTH AMERICA speak out against the harassment, persecution and killing of Christians by their coreligionists in their homelands?
When will Christians in those homelands enjoy the same freedom to propagate their religion as Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others have to propagate their religion in North America?
Administration is fine tuning
Just as you fine tune your radio to get the best reception, I think the recent administration is doing just that with their phraseology. Though I have no way of knowing---it's all just guesswork--I'm inclined to think the deliberate phrase change has been due to the notice of public opinion. I'm sure Obama, Clinton, etc are aware of the stir the phrase "freedom of worship" has caused.......
But, it is fascinating that the President spoke the phrase "freedom of religion" to an Islamic group concerning the mosque at Ground Zero. I do not want jump to conclusions, but it's almost a portrait of the President speaking to Muslims and saying, "You are free to do as much as you please with your religion publicly." And yes, it looks like a free toss to the Islamic nations out there who have no qualms about the number of innocent Christians and other non-Muslims persecuted--even murdered--within their borders every year.
If Obama had spoken to a Christian group even once in encouraging them to use their God-given religious freedom, I'd feel very differently about this. As it is, the administration has been sending a very bad message to American Christians....to say them that they almost don't officially count as full government-acting players.
