The Culture Wars Are Over and the Idiots Have Won.
A veteran journalist's acidically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.
In the midst of a career-long quest to separate the smart from the pap, Charles Pierce had a defining moment at the Creation Museum in Kentucky, where he observed a dinosaur. Wearing a saddle... But worse than this was when the proprietor exclaimed to a cheering crowd, "We are taking the dinosaurs back from the evolutionists!" He knew then and there it was time to try and salvage the Land of the Enlightened, buried somewhere in this new Home of the Uninformed.
With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States, and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate.
With Idiot America, Pierce's thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated.A Q&A with Charles P. Pierce
Question: What inspired, or should I say drove, you to write Idiot America?
Charles P. Pierce: The germ of the idea came as I watched the extended coverage of the death of Terri Schiavo. I wondered how so many people could ally themselves with so much foolishness despite the fact that it was doing them no perceptible good, politically or otherwise. And it looked like the national media simply could not help itself but be swept along. This started me thinking and, when I read a clip in the New York Times about the Creation Museum, I pitched an idea to Mark Warren, my editor at Esquire, that said simply, "Dinosaurs with saddles." What we determined the theme of the eventual piece—and of the book—would be was "The Consequences Of Believing Nonsense."
Question: You visited the Creation Museum while writing Idiot America. Describe your experience there. What was your first thought when you saw a dinosaur with a saddle on its back?
Charles P. Pierce: My first thought was that it was hilarious. My second thought was that I was the only person in the place who thought it was, which made me both angry and a little melancholy. Outside of the fact that its "science" is a god-awful parodic stew of paleontology, geology, and epistemology, all of them wholly detached from the actual intellectual method of each of them. The most disappointing thing is that the completed museum is so dreadfully grim and earnest and boring. It even makes dragon myths servant to its fringe biblical interpretations. Who wants to live in a world where dragons are boring?
Question: Is there a specific turning point where, as a country, we moved away from prizing experience to trusting the gut over intellect?
Charles P. Pierce: I don't know if there's one point that you can point to and say, "This is when it happened." The conflict between intellectual expertise and reflexive emotion—often characterized as "good old common sense," when it is neither common nor sense—has been endemic to American culture and politics since the beginning. I do think that my profession, journalism, went off the tracks when it accepted as axiomatic the notion that "Perception is reality." No. Perception is perception and reality is reality, and if the former doesn't conform to the latter, then it's the journalist's job to hammer and hammer the reality until the perception conforms to it. That's how "intelligent design" gets treated as "science" simply because a lot of people believe in it.
Question: You delve into Ignatius Donnelly's life story. In 1880, he published the book Atlantis: The Antediluvian World in an attempt to prove that the lost city existed. Yet, you characterize Donnelly as a lovable crank, and don't take issue with him as you do with modern eccentrics, like Rush Limbaugh. What's the difference between a harmless crank and a crank in Idiot America?
Charles P. Pierce: Cranks are noble because cranks are independent. Cranks do not care if their ideas succeed—they'd like them to do so—but cranks stand apart. Their value comes when, occasionally, their lonely dissents from the commonplace affect the culture, at which point either the culture moves to adopt them and their ideas come to influence the culture. The American crank is not someone with 600 radio stations spewing bilious canards to an audience of "dittoheads." The concept of a "dittohead" is anathema to the American crank. He is a freethinker addressing an audience of them, whether that audience is made up of one person or a thousand. A charlatan is a crank who sells out.
Question: What is the most dangerous aspect of Idiot America?
Charles P. Pierce: The most dangerous aspect of Idiot America is that it encourages us to abandon our birthright to be informed citizens of a self-governing republic. America cannot function on automatic pilot, and, too often, we don't notice that it has been until the damage has already been done.
Question: Is there a voice or leader of Idiot America?
Charles P. Pierce: The leaders of Idiot America are those people who abandoned their obligations to the above. There are lots of people making an awful lot of money selling their ideas and their wares to Idiot America. Idiot America is an act of collective will, a product of lassitude and sloth.
Question: What is the difference between stupidity and glorifying ignorance?
Charles P. Pierce: Stupidity is as stupidity does, to quote a uniquely stupid movie. It has been with us always and always will be. But we moved into an era in which stupidity was celebrated if it managed to sell itself well, if it succeeded, if it made people money. That is "glorifying ignorance." We moved into an era in which the reflexive instincts of the Gut were celebrated at the expense of reasoned, informed opinion. To this day, we have a political party—the Republicans—who, because it embraced a "movement of Conservatism" that celebrated anti-intellectualism is now incapable of conducting itself in any other way. That has profound political and cultural consequences, and the truly foul part about it was that so many people engaged in it knowing full well they were peddling poison.
Question: While writing Idiot America, what story or incident made you the most incensed?
Charles P. Pierce: Without question, it was talking to the people at Woodside Hospice, who shared with me what it was like to be inside the whirlwind stirred up by people who used the prolonged death of Terri Schiavo as a political and social volleyball to advance their own unpopular and reckless agenda. There are people—Sean Hannity comes to mind—who, if there is a just god in heaven, should be locked in a room for 20 minutes with Annie Santa Maria, the indomitable woman who works with the patients at the hospice. Only one of them would come out, and it wouldn't be him.
Question: With the election of President Obama, is Idiot America coming to an end? Or, will there always be a place for idiocy in America?
Charles P. Pierce: Look at the political opposition to President Obama. "Socialist!" "Fascist!" "Coming to get your guns." Hysteria from the hucksters of Idiot America is still at high-tide. People are killing other people and specifically attributing their action to imaginary oppression stoked by radio talk-show stars and television pundits. That Glenn Beck has achieved the prominence he has makes me wonder if there is a just god in heaven.
Question: Are there any positive signs that we are moving away from Idiot America? If you could create a twelve step program to America back on track, what would be your first suggestion?
Charles P. Pierce: Remember that perception is not reality, that opinion, no matter how widely held, is not fact. An old and wise friend of mine said that the only question that any American citizen is required to answer is "Do you govern or are you governed?" It has to be answered in the former, and that answer has to be continuous. We have to get back to that.

The Following comments aren't meant to be particularly negative towards the United States and the concepts in this book aren't exclusive to the USA. The concepts in "idiot America" exist all over the entire world. "Idiot America" is a superbly covered account of something that's very prevalent in the US.
Charles Pierce provides the history of "cranks" (con artists and showmen) from the founding of the nation to current examples today in contemporary America. I focused on TV and Radio because of it's widespread impact on the populace today (even in the age of the growing Internet, which is becoming dominant). Much of TV and Talk Radio promote misinformation based on emotion, histrionics, shock, being loud, and over-the-top attempts to get ratings.
The author notes "The 3 Great Premises: and applies them to many instances in this book:
1. Any theory is valid if it moves units (rating, and making money).
2. Anything can be true if it is said loudly enough.
3. Fact is what enough people believe (the Truth is what you believe).
There are many examples in this book. Here are just a few:
The NAFTA Superhighway, that never was:
Even in the year 2003, a completely false rumor can end up being debated by Congressman, and end up on Lou Dobb's TV show. In 2003, the Texas legislature approved the the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) to improve road and rail lines to facilitate the movement of good within the state of Texas.Read more ›
There are a few things that irk me about this book -- the near-exclusive focus on US conservatism is necessary to this book's theme, but the author would be well-served to look into things like the alternative medicine movement, which suffers from many of the same problems. (And would it have killed Pierce to include an index? I've said this in other reviews -- political books need indexes because without them it makes them look like they're trying to railroad the reader.) But to someone willing to take the time to read it, this book tells people what practically everyone should know about American politics -- that the American people are being sold a sob story about how experts are an elite that is keeping them from being The Best Damn Nation In The World. (In that regard, one should definitely read "The Paranoid Style In American Politics" by Richard Hofstadter -- it's over four decades old, but saw from the very beginning what has come into full bloom now with the barking lunacy of the American Right.)
Pierce covers much territory -- he starts with the Creation Museum in Kentucky, then moves on into the 19th century crank Ignatius Donnelly and his popularization of Atlantis, and from there it's off to the races. The most painfully harrowing sections are those dealing with the Kitzmiller trial in Dover, PA, where a town drew up sides over good science vs.Read more ›
The reason for their enmity is obvious: Much as the late David Postman did with his book Amused to Death, Mr. Pierce draws accurate and deadly aim at the forces that have led to the devaluing of intelligence and learning in America. The main difference is that while Postman didn't explicitly ascribe an ideological cause or specific ideological actors for this general dumbing-down, Pierce does. He lays the blame at the feet of various ideology-driven entities, with special attention given to the same corporate-media war cheerleaders who happily passed on Bush's lies about Iraqi weaponry to a somnolent public, and who, in the name of putting "balance" over reality, treat specious creationist nonsense and hard scientific fact as if both had equal validity. Highly recommended!
Our country was founded during the Age of Enlightenment by the likes of James Madison, to whom Pierce pays repeated attention. He discusses events and issues that show clearly how the Enlightment's premise, that democratic self-government requires an educated citizenry, no longer holds sway in America. Pierce demonstrates how scorn for expertise, intelligence and education has led to recent myths such as the Dover, PA court case over "intelligent design", the lies about weapons of mass destruction, and Terri Schiavo's ability to recover from her vegetative state.
Pierce lays out three great premises that have overtaken respect for facts and truth. Those are listed in other reviews; I won't repeat them. Where the book falls short, in my opinion, is in offering a prescription for how the "intelligent and educated segment" may reach out effectively to the "other America" to restore a more universal respect for actual facts and how to determine whether a proposition is true. But Pierce is certainly provocative. Perhaps those younger and wiser than I, e.g., Rachel Maddow or Jon Stewart, will hear him and bring forth the imagination, drive and reasonableness to counter America's descent into idiocy. Otherwise, the future looks frightening, and the Age of Enlightenment is truly history.

Well, that's a surprisingly old version :) But what's happening is the broker is expecting a ConnectionInfo object off the wire, and when it either pulls it from the cache or reads it off the wire, it's not getting the correct type of object it desires (ConnectionId). Are any of your clients using 1) newer versions of the activemq client, or 2) udp protocol? There are different versions of the openwire protocol (9 being the current, looks like 1 is what's being used on your end) and they should be backward compatible. You're probably better off upgrading to a later version as I don't see anyone having this same issue with the latest releases.

Francis Newman and the Capacities of Women.
Nineteenth-Century Prose 1990, Winter, 18, 1
Nineteenth-Century Prose
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Reviews in Victorian periodicals of the mid-1860s customarily were unsigned, though the Fortnightly Review, edited by George Henry Lewes, in 1865 pioneered a new style of signed articles. (1) The Westminster Review, however, still followed the old fashion when, in October 1865, it printed a long unsigned review titled "Capacities of Women" (2) that inspected nine books from 1863-65, written by three women. George Eliot had long since ceased to contribute her own unsigned articles to the Westminster, for which she had also served as editor, but one can imagine her rejoicing at the defense of women in this particular review, whose authorship she probably also recognized. The writer had been invited to contribute to the first number of the journal in 1852 (3) and had continued to do so occasionally afterwards. But other readers of the Westminster may well have been misled into assuming the author was a woman, so staunchly does the unnamed reviewer champion women's rights and achievements. Actually, however, the review was written by a man Eliot greatly respected: Francis William Newman (1805-97), classical scholar and man of letters, brother of the distinguished churchman John Henry Newman. Not a brilliant review but a noteworthy one for what it emphasizes, "Capacities of Women" provides a salutary reminder that not all male reviewers participated in the disparagement of women authors which has come to seem almost inevitable for Victorian criticism, and that some influential men other than John Stuart Mill were feminist supporters even early in the cause of women's rights. Of course Mill was not singular in championing women's right to equality of their persons and respect for their talents, but the other male supporters, less distinguished in achievements, have regularly been forgotten.

Sun shade does block the sun well and it is much more convenient than a folding shade or collapsible round shade. Was not particularly easy to install since the stick-on brackets need to be very precise when placed on the windshield. One of mine on the right side is off by 1/8 of an inch and although the shade hangs okay, when I unlatch it to pull to the other side, if I pull upward just a little to much it releases itself from one of the the latches. It does the job overall.

2015's data shows an upward trend in the hours of service violations doled out by the top 10 states. When reporting began in the CSA's Data Trail series in 2013 — a joint effort by CCJ and Overdrive — just three states were above the 20 percent mark for hours violations. Seven of the 10 are above that threshold now.
In the final part of the CSA's Distorted Rankings series: An in-depth look at how severity weights and peer groups lead to other CSA problems.
The difference in results between CSA rankings and the safety rating system is marked. In some quarters, eliminating that disconnect is seen as at least a partial solution to public confusion over what the scores mean. It's a key component of why critics feel use of the scores in business decisions is so onerous.
Three and a half years after Compliance Safety Accountability began its radical scrambling of how trucking safety is regulated and scored, carriers and owner-operators continue to suffer from its fallout, while bureaucrats struggle to repair the complex program.
Trucking continues to question the accuracy and application of data at the heart of the federal government's regulatory program, and a powerful political voice for the industry has issued a white paper that spells out the points of contention in a way that customers – and maybe even Congress – can understand.
Almost three years since its launch, Compliance, Safety, Accountability remains a source of confusion and for the American trucking industry. CSA is "an abandonment of FMCSA's duty to regulate safety," transportation law expert Rob Moseley says. "CSA is just the whim of FMCSA." He briefed carriers on how to defend their reputations at the recent ATA MC&E.
The precision and quantity of ELD data available after the mandate could, combined with a new safety-rating scheme, give on-site auditors an extra-effective tool for declaring a carrier Unfit on the basis not only of uncovered hours violations, but also moving violations.Read More »
The smallest carriers are feeling the heat of hours enforcement in select states, even as violations declined nationally in 2015.Read More »
Since Overdrive's CSA's Data Trail series began with analysis of the 2011-12 period in 2013, when there were just three states above the 20 percent mark for hours violations, there have never been as many states above that mark than today. For this year, Arkansas, Wyoming top the list.Read More »
Though it may be too late to prep for this year's Roadcheck, kicking off this week, don't take any chances on your equipment passing inspection. This story, newly updated, rounds up coverage on a wealth of maintenance topics in Overdrive in recent years.Read More »
If you're armed with a court adjudication of a citation that also was marked as a violation on an Illinois inspection report, and if the charge was pled down or dismissed, you should have little trouble.Read More »
After a focus on moving violations led to a dramatic climb up Overdrive's state inspection-intensity rankings in 2014, the Illinois State Police show signs of backing off.Read More »

text: By Eric Dutram of ETF Database NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Despite their position at the epicenter of the recent mortgage meltdown, many U.S. real estate ETFs have rebounded nicely in 2010. In fact, of the 13 ETFs in the domestic Real Estate ETFdb Category only one has posted a loss for the year. This is in sharp contrast to the Global Real Estate ETFdb Category which has seen all ten of its funds post a loss on the year. This divergence between the domestic and international real estate markets is due to several factors. Although unemployment in the U.S. remains well above its long-term average, the situation is even worse in many developed nations; Spain, for example, recently saw its unemployment rate top 20%. Because many REIT ETFs have heavy allocations to commercial and industrial real estate, demand for office space can significantly impact real estate prices. More importantly, credit markets in the U.S. have continued to thaw, and concerns about an imminent commercial real estate collapse have eased considerably. Real estate markets in the rest of the world have not been so fortunate; chaos in Europe has hammered real property values, while deflation in Japan and bubble worries in China have weighed on Asian markets. In the following pages, we profile four real estate ETFs that have been impacted by the recent slump: two domestic leaders and two international laggards. Prev 0 of 5 Next

Choosing between headphones can be difficult due to the huge number of models available. The Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HDs and Sony MDR-E828LPs are good choices for techies and audiophiles alike. The Solo HDs rise above with their quiet noise cancelling and get the nod for travel, while the MDR-E828LPs attract attention with their wide frequency response and come out ahead for hip hop.

Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD
The Solo HDs have an ear-cup design, so you can treat your ears to greater comfort and reduce fatigue. In addition, you can filter unwanted noise thanks to their noise cancelling. The Solo HDs' 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response enables you to make out deep bass notes and shimmering highs. What's more, they have a 45 Ohm impedance, so you can enjoy great sound on a host of audio sources such as MP3 players and digital media players.
Sony MDR-E828LP
The MDR-E828LPs have an earbud design, so you can comfortably use them with different hats, glasses, or hairstyles. Moreover, you can enjoy crystal clear treble frequencies and resonant lows thanks to their 12 Hz - 22 kHz frequency response. The MDR-E828LPs' 108 dB sensitivity helps you listen to the music at a good volume. Furthermore, they have a 16 Ohm impedance, allowing you to increase your listening enjoyment when using a variety of electronic devices including tablets and smartphones.
Comparing the Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD Vs Sony MDR-E828LP
In most cases, the Sony MDR-E828LP headphones have the upper hand and are a great bet for hip hop, R&B, and rock. The MDR-E828LPs feature a wider frequency response, allowing you to discern more powerful lows and clearer treble tones. In addition, their lower impedance lets you get better battery-life from your portable devices. Not to be out-done however, the Solo HDs boast noise cancelling, allowing you to filter away a greater amount of undesirable noise. Plus, the Solo HDs rival with a comfortable design. Consequently, they are great for travel.

The Moon and Our Shadow
As we watched the lunar eclipse last week, I joked with my husband that I could see our two shadows on top of the earth's up there too.
We had walked down our sidewalk to get out from behind the trees. A few of our neighbors were already outside, sitting in yards, leaning over balconies, or standing on the sidewalk like us. No one said much. They greeted us or just smiled. One commented "Crazy, huh?" And it was. A lot of the people I used to know have moved out, and I haven't really gotten to know this new crowd yet. But there we were, hanging out together outside at midnight, craning our necks to watch the shadow of the planet we were standing on eclipse the moon.
I felt a sense of community with our neighborhood that I hadn't in a long time.
I remember looking at the moon the first time I travelled outside the country. It almost felt strange how it looked exactly the same when so much around me seemed a little off. But there it was, on its journey across the skies of the world, tugging at the oceans, moving through its same phases.
That night, a lot of people in a lot of places were looking up at it in the same moment – from sidewalks and balconies, through windows and telescopes – like one huge, sprawling neighborhood.
Whether you saw it or not, we all cast a shadow across the moon.

I'm looking for an example of how to create a criteria query that would result SQL similar to this (or with an equivalent effect):
SELECT x, y, z
FROM SomeTable tbl
WHERE tbl.a = 'some value'
(tbl.b = '1' AND tbl.c = 'whatever1' AND tbl.d = 123) OR
(tbl.b = '2' AND tbl.c = 'whatever2' AND tbl.d = 456) OR
(tbl.b = '3' AND tbl.c = 'whatever3' AND tbl.d = 789)
When creating the query I have a list of filter data (which fills the data that comes after the "AND") as well as an extra parameter (which fills the 'some value' portion above).
Basically my question is how do I chain ANDs and ORs when building this kind of criteria query? The API for Expression.And and Expression.Or only accept a single left and right criterion, not a chain.
Does anyone know where I can find an example for this?
BTW, the x,y,z part (after the SELECT) is currently irrelevant as it seems I can accomplish it with projection (haven't gotten there yet).

Metro: No Ads On Buses, Despite (Or Because Of) Tough Economic Times
We missed out on Carrie Bradshaw on our buses
Anyone who has taken mass transit in most major cities knows one thing: There are a ton of ads on the buses and trains.
Not in Houston, though. And that policy won't change anytime soon, even though one study showed Metro could get "tens of millions of dollars" over 15 years if they did so.
We guess when you're tossing around big bucks on rail, a couple of tens of millions isn't much.
When Metro was first created way back in the 1970s, advertising was frowned on by the founders who thought it was tacky. Occasionally the matter has been broached since then.

About five years ago, Metro V-P George Smalley tells Hair Balls, the agency put out a request for bids for bus-shelter ads. The results showed the aforementioned "tens of millions" in revenue and savings over a 15-year period were possible. (The savings would come from bus-shelter maintenance being the responsibility of the winning bidder, not Metro.)
But there were problems: "The effort stalled, in part, because of an existing city ordinance prohibiting commercial advertising in city rights of way, which is where our shelters are located," Smalley says.
Last year, the agency tried again, this time looking into advertising strictly on buses. Again, no go. "This was during the national economic collapse," Smalley says. "I don't recall the specific numbers in the bids, but the revenue potential was anemic and not deemed sufficient enough then to further pursue advertising on buses."
He says there are no current studies, or plans to further request advertising bids, underway at Metro.
So you'll just have to keep entertaining yourself with the Metro informational posters on the buses, we guess.

You can't become the monster people make you out to be unless you lose your humanity.
I have always believed there is inherent goodness in people no matter how terrible they seem on the surface. Aside from serial killers who are a hopeless cause, I believe there is a way to bring out the good in the bad. There just has to be a point where humans can connect with each other no matter what outside factors influence our behavior. That's why I knew that Robin couldn't go through with the terrible thing TJ tried to program him to do. You just can't negatively influence innate goodness like that. Robin is desperate to live, but it has to be on his terms. The good in him just won't condone letting anymore innocent people pay for what he truly desires. SJ wasn't the only one who learned a lesson from what happened five years ago. If seeking happiness with Hana means that more people will have to get hurt, Robin's conscience won't allow such sacrifice to be made. The cost of love shouldn't be the pain of others. Especially if that means one of the injured party is his other identity. Every time I try to predict the ending for this love triangle, I always pictured Robin as the one to back away. He weighs and considers both of the people he cares about – Hana and SJ, but SJ still has a long way to go when it comes to changing. He still puts himself first before Robin. That might make him the lesser man, but at least the better part of himself (Robin) wants to do the right thing for all parties involved.
Just when you think they crossed a hurdle and made some headway, here comes another complication that might bring along a tidal wave of trouble.

KERSHAW – Town officials hope that another big utility project – running a 12-inch water line to Haile Gold Mine – can begin once the town gets the go-ahead from L&C Railway.
"All the in-town construction easements have been obtained," said Kershaw Mayor Mark Dorman. "They'll be filed with the clerk of court's office by the end of the month."
The town is still awaiting official confirmation from L&C Railway for a construction easement to cross under the railroad tracks along Church Street.
COLUMBIA – State Parks across South Carolina are hoping visitors and members of their surrounding communities will help them pack park trucks full of canned goods and other non-perishables to help address hunger.
KERSHAW – Last month town officials announced that the North Matson Street water line project had been completed in about half the anticipated construction time.
Not quite, it turns out.
Unforeseen problems have arisen in switching from the old water line to the new one, which means the new line still isn't completely in service and might not be for another month.
The switch-over opened a can of worms, or more like a can of pasta, said Mitch Lucas, Kershaw's interim town administrator.
The Springdale Recreation Complex is home to a new 9-hole disc golf course friendly to all ages.
The 3-par course was funded by a grant from the J. Marion Sims Foundation.
Disc golf sets were donated to middle schools in the county and Springdale was given an extra set, said Hal Hiott, the county's parks and recreation director.
The set was installed in two days by the staff and Lancaster resident Steve Lambert, who designed the course.
The Lancaster County Planning Department has completed the new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and Zoning Map after an 18-month-long effort that included several public input meetings.
The new zoning map and UDO will be on display at the Lancaster County Voter Registration Office, with planning department staff available for comments and questions, for the next few weeks leading up to an Aug. 23 public hearing on it.
Lancaster resident Robert Jordan, 47, pleaded guilty Monday to infliction of great bodily injury upon a child in connection to the death of his disabled adopted son last fall.
He was sentenced to 20 years, suspended upon the active service of 14 years in prison, followed by five years of probation, said 6th Circuit Deputy Solicitor Lisa Collins.
Jordan was arrested Oct. 12 for the death of his 5-year-old adopted son, La'Marion Jordan. The boy died Sept. 4, 2015.
Jordan was in jail from Oct. 12 until April 14, when he bonded out.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office will hold a hotdog fundraiser next Wednesday, July 20, for two employees who have sons with costly medical conditions.
"Both children have conditions that will require repeated and continual medical care and visits," Maj. Matt Shaw said Thursday. "The families have had to travel to medical facilities outside of local area."

As many as three lightning strikes were determined to be the cause of last week's fire that severely damaged Lando Baptist Church in eastern Chester County.
According to Eddie Murphy, chief of the Lando Fire Department, lighting struck the church on July 7 about 7:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m.
"The fire cooked in the attic for about four hours before it got out," Murphy said.
Lancaster County has been awarded $40,181 in federal money to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
The selection was made by a national board headed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and involving a number of nonprofit groups including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and United Way Worldwide. The federal program is intended to expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

It has a bright orange color, so we sort of want it hidden out of sight. At least it ain't as bad as them pink flamingos a neighbor once had.

Poroshenko's decision had been expected after the governing
coalition in Ukraine - which ousted its Moscow-backed
president in street protests in February precipitating the
separatist rebellions in its eastern regions - collapsed on
July 24.
Poroshenko and his government, whose pro-Europe policies have
riled the Kremlin, hope to stabilise the situation in the
east by October sufficiently to hold a relatively normal
election that will earn them greater legitimacy and
strengthen their hand in dealing with Russia.
"I have taken the decision to dissolve parliament for
elections on October 26," Poroshenko said in a Twitter post
in which he urged all Ukrainians to turn out.
He and his liberal supporters will be seeking an endorsement
of the tough line they have taken in the separatist war and
their European integration policies which have brought
confrontation with Russia.
Moscow, angered by the ousting of Yanukovich who fled
following the deaths of more than 100 protesters killed in
Kiev by police snipers, annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula
in March.
Poroshenko's leadership accuses Moscow of being behind the
separatist rebellions in Ukraine's Russian-speaking east
which broke out shortly afterwards, though Moscow denies
In a statement to compatriots on his website on Monday night,
Poroshenko hoped the election would clear out many of the
"old guard" who supported Yanukovich and produce a coalition
able to push through vital economic and political reform
after years of corrupt misrule and malpractice.
"The present parliament for a year and a half was a support
for Yanukovich. And the majority of precisely these deputies
adopted dictatorial laws which took the lives of 'Heaven's
Hundred'," he said referring to the protesters who were
killed and who have now acquired martyr status in Kiev.
"Someone has to take responsibility for this - criminal and
political," he said.
He accused some deputies of backing the separatists. "Many
deputies are, if they are not the direct sponsors and
associates, the supporters of the separatist fighters," he
"I consider victory in the Donbass and the victory of
democratic reforming forces in parliament a mutually linked
process," he said.
Donbass is the name given to the industrialised and mainly
Russian-speaking east of Ukraine, where two regions --
Donetsk and Luhansk -- have declared independence from
Ukraine in an attempt to join Russia.
The crisis in Ukraine, in which the United Nations says more
than 2,000 people have been killed, has resulted in the worst
crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold
The United States and its European allies have imposed broad
sanctions on Russia because of its alleged backing for, and
arming of, the rebels.
Poroshenko heads for the Belarussian capital of Minsk on
Tuesday for his first meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin
since June.
The timing of his election announcement was intended to
broadcast to Putin and European Union officials, who will
also be present in Minsk, that Ukraine was steadily
normalising and building democratic structures after the
malpractice of the Yanukovich years.
But with Kiev angered over reports of Russian armoured
vehicles coming across the border on Monday with the aim of
opening a new front in the separatist war the prospects of a
breakthrough in Minsk appear slim.
