Roasted Butternut Squash Soup for Winter
As the leaves fall and swirl to the ground, the produce shelves fill up with different varieties of winter squash. Acorn, butternut, Kabucha, Pumpkin, and Delectica all call to my inner chef to create and explore the richness of this winter bounty.
I picked up a butternut squash, hoping for a bit of inspiration. Soup was calling to me.
Fearless Cooking with Nopal Cactus
Growing up in the Sonoran Desert I was surrounded by all the spiny, thorny, sharp things called cacti with names like Saguaro, Cholla or Jumping, Organ Pipe, Barrel, and Prickly Pear.
Prickly pear is one of the most prolific of all the cacti and highly adaptable. Like most cacti, once the thorns are removed, it is edible. I knew that cactus could be eaten and, with a grandmother who spent time in Mexico, it would be a natural assumption that I learned how to cook with this plant. As I cooked by her side I was not shown the secrets of how to prepare and cook either prickly pear (the fruit) or Nopal (the leaves).

Kitchen Klutzes Unite!
Are you a klutz in the kitchen? Don't despair! June 13th is Kitchen Klutzes Day, a day to proudly celebrate ineptitude with knife skills and controlling the cooking fire.
We all have those moments. That instant when you know you've done something wrong, something that will injure you or others. The kitchen can be one of the most dangerous, accident-prone environments, ripe with opportunity to strike -- and for a klutz it holds many challenges.

6 Easy Steps to Cool Down Foods
As a professional chef I learned early the proper food safety handling techniques. I've gotten funny looks over the years from roommates and partners for my "crazy whacked out kitchen habits." It was those whacked out habits that kept them from getting sick. As I work more and more with home cooks, I've discovered many do not know how to take care of their food properly. Keep Your Family Safe!
V is for Veganuary
Every year New Year's resolutions are broken, most often within the first six months. While there are support systems for no more drinking or smoking (fondly called the 12 Steps), there hasn't been much support for no more eating meat. This has been proven to be one of the toughest resolutions to meet.

SoCal Chocolate: Chocxo
I love happy accidents and amazing finds. On this trip to Southern California, as we were driving into Costa Mesa, I saw a sign that said Chocxo. I pretty much knew it was a chocolate/coffee house and then I saw part of the sign said locally roasted. We were on our way to the local library to work, so I stopped in.
Skill of a Chef: It's All About the Knives
Knives are personal. The way they feel, the way they balance in the hand. How the blade cuts through the food. Personally, I like a lighter knife, one that is easy to grip and that is very, very sharp. Cat Cora of Iron Chef fame uses a 13" chef's knife, and she's 4'11". Intimidating? Yes. Necessary? When you are that short and working in a "man's" world, wielding a large knife can help intimidate your co-workers.

Please stop cutting up Toledo mayoral candidate Anita Lopez; it's an insult to Toledo and to Blade readers ("Lopez negatives mounting," commentary, July 23).
Ms. Lopez, the Lucas County auditor, is given credit for qualities we'd all like to see in a mayor. But because of her management style, we're led to believe that she could take Toledo to a Detroit-style bankruptcy. That is absurd.
Let's see some balanced and fair reporting on Ms. Lopez' candidacy, which seems to be the way you are approaching the other mayoral candidates.
Cresthaven Lane
Lopez not ready to be mayor
Ms. Lopez is accessible, gracious, well educated, and dedicated. She will make a great mayor of Toledo someday.
Meanwhile, she needs to learn that the employees of the auditor's office do not work for her. They work for us. It is her job to hire the best people available, not those who provide her with campaign contributions, either directly or through their union connections.
I sympathize with a single mother who is raising children and taking care of her elderly parents. However, if the caregiver is paid more than $94,000 a year, with great health coverage and a wonderful retirement program, there should be plenty of money to ensure a good credit rating.
Ms. Lopez has exercised poor judgement on several occasions. But with experience, she could be a good mayor someday.

Law must stay out of abortion issue
Because the decision to have a baby or to have an abortion is personal and moral, the law should not be involved ("The Texas-Ireland abortion connection," op-ed column, July 24).
The question of when life begins is unanswerable. Basing laws on Biblical texts is a poor practice, because the laws apply to people of all religions. Even so, the Bible is silent on abortion. The decision to have a child should be left to the potential parents, physicians, and the God of their understanding.
Monclova Township
Texas stand on life questioned
The tremendous outpouring of support for this legislation has demonstrated how Texas stands for life," declared Gov. Rick Perry in support of that state's recent vote on highly restrictive limits on abortions ("Anti-abortion bill passes House in Texas; Senate next," July 11).
Yet Texas has the highest rate of executions in the nation. What hypocrisy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nads80 from What a nice find... I love these products, in fact I have three sets. This is the nicest for me, I really love these cold colors and they are so easy to apply, even for a woman like me who isn't too good at applying eye make up. The brushes are very helpful too. I would recommend you to purchase this set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlisonT100 from First Shiseido Purchase Stunning, butter soft colours, with loads of pigment and play. A bit of a strange trio to put together but I work it with other colours. The golden bronze is epic. Very little fall down, so no wastage. I don't think many of the trios work as they stand, but are great to combine with others. I've now started collecting them and they are a delight to work with. Last very well, and work great over a cream base.

The 40-foot fall from the bridge. (Tom Van Dyke/Chicago Tribune)
A man who lost control of his car overnight on a Dan Ryan Expressway overpass was recovering from his injuries Tuesday after sailing through the air more than 100 feet after being ejected from his rolling car and landing 40 feet below on a railroad yard access ramp.
Joseph Dunmars III, 20, of Chicago, was in critical but stable condition with several broken bones and internal injuries at Stroger Hospital, hospital officials said.

20 Days to Ready: Get a Guiding Light (Day 7)
Assignment: Get Flashlights in Place for a Blackout
It's the stuff we take for granted that can make a big difference in an emergency. In this case, light. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and even thunderstorms can all cause a power outage — but it's relatively simple to help ensure you won't be lights-out.
Gather a minimum of one flashlight for every two people in the household, says Ready.gov. Store flashlights in multiple rooms of your home, and arrange to help keep one in your car and another by your desk at work. If you travel, it might also be a good idea to have one in your suitcase.
When stocking up, consider LED flashlights for their extended battery life, and make sure to keep fresh batteries in the right sizes for each flashlight.

Kenneth Lonergan (born October 16, 1962) is an American playwright, screenwriter, and director.
Background and education
Lonergan was born in the Bronx, New York City, New York. His mother is Jewish and his father is of Irish descent.[1] Lonergan began writing in high school at the Walden School (a now defunct, highly progressive private school in Manhattan with a strong drama program).
His first play, The Rennings Children, was chosen for the Stephen Sondheim founded Young Playwrights Inc. Young Playwright's Festival in 1982 while he was still an undergraduate. Lonergan matriculated at Wesleyan University where he trained as a playwright and director;[2] he would go on to graduate at the NYU Playwriting Program.
Government and commercial work
After graduating from NYU, Lonergan worked as a speechwriter for the Environmental Protection Agency. He also wrote industrial shows—long-play commercials—for clients such as Weight Watchers[3] and Fujifilm.
Lonergan's first theatrical success came with the play This is Our Youth (1996); it was followed by The Waverley Gallery (1999), based on his grandmother's Greenwich Village Gallery, and later Lobby Hero (2002). His play, The Starry Messenger premiered Off-Broadway in 2009 and starred his wife, J. Smith-Cameron and Matthew Broderick.[4]
Lonergan's film career began with his screenplay for the gangland comedy Analyze This (1999). He was subsequently offered a job writing The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000).
Lonergan directed his own screenplay for You Can Count on Me (2000); the film, which was executive produced by Martin Scorsese, went on to be nominated for and receive numerous writing awards.[5] He contributed to the screenplay for Gangs of New York (2002). In 2005, filming took place for his second film as writer/director, Margaret, starring Anna Paquin, Matt Damon, Matthew Broderick, J. Smith-Cameron. The film spent over five years in post-production, with Lonergan, the producers and various editors unable to agree on its final cut, resulting in multiple legal disputes. It was finally released in 2011.[1]

British prosecutors on Tuesday charged the prime minister's former spokesman Andy Coulson and ex-News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks with phone-hacking.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it was charging a total of eight people in relation to the scandal at Rupert Murdoch's now defunct News of the World tabloid, while it was taking no further action against five others.
The eight will face charges of conspiring to unlawfully intercept the voicemail messages of some 600 people, who included Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jude Law as well as politicians and crime victims.
Prosecutors said the other targets included England footballer Wayne Rooney and ex-Beatle Paul McCartney.
The others facing charges include Stuart Kuttner, the News of the World's former managing editor, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former head of news Ian Edmonson, former chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck and reporter James Weatherup.
The last person is private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who was jailed for phone-hacking for six months in 2007.
Australian-born media tycoon Murdoch, 81, was forced to close the News of the World last July amid a storm of revelations that its staff hacked into the voicemail messages of a murdered schoolgirl and a slew of public figures.
Coulson edited the News of the World from 2003 to 2007 and went on to become Cameron's spokesman, but resigned in January 2011 after he was questioned over the scandal. He was arrested last year.
Brooks was editor of the tabloid from 2000 to 2003 and went on to edit The Sun, Murdoch's top-selling British tabloid, before going on to become chief executive of News International, Murdoch's British newspaper group.

Migrants rejected for asylum by Germany are flooding into the French capital Paris, leaving some migrant centres almost completely full.
Between 50 and 100 rejected asylum seekers are entering France per day, according to figures from Europe 1 Le JDD, causing a new headache for the country's authorities and creating a defining issue for the forthcoming presidential election.
Berlin registered some 280,000 asylum claims in 2016, although over 700,000 are still being processed. Of these, 162,510 were filed by Syrians and 127,892 by Afghans.
The vast majority of Syrians receive asylum status if they can prove their identity. However, one out of every two asylum applications from Afghans get rejected. Those rejected migrants, instead of waiting to be deported, then try their luck in a different country.
A 400-place asylum centre opened by Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo in November is already close-to-full, and the city has announced the creation of another 200 places to cope with demand.
Authorities have been sounding the alarm for the past few days as makeshift camps begin forming in the streets again.
Breitbart London reported in November how Paris's migrant slums were hotbeds of crime, as gangs fought one another on the city's streets.
Many of migrants had originally travelled to the city after authorities dismantled the infamous "Jungle" camp in Calais, with large numbers gathering in the Stalingrad district.
Footage from April 2016 shows the Stalingrad camp explode in violence as massive riot erupted between over 1,000 people.
Despite being officially broken up, authorities are concerned that the camp and others like it will reform as the new wave of rejected asylum seekers travels across the border from Germany.
One local resident said in November: "The stench of urine, faeces, and rubbish has made Stalingrad an unhealthy place to live. The place is dead, no one wants to come here anymore. People are afraid to go out and lock themselves in."

ARLINGTON -- Michael Young isn't worried about it. Neither is manager Ron Washington.
The Texas Rangers had a lackluster homestand, going 3-4 on it despite five sellout crowds. It ended with a 5-4, 10th-inning loss to the Oakland Athletics on Thursday afternoon at a sold-out Rangers Ballpark.
The Rangers have dropped three of their last four to Kansas City and Oakland.
They had plenty of opportunities to win Thursday, too. They had a lead after the sixth and had a 21-2 record in closing those games out, but squandered it away. Then they were in position for their first walk-off victory of the season, but they couldn't push in the winning run from third with one out in the ninth. In the end, they stranded 14 runners and went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position.
"We didn't play very well the last few games, but this is a team with a lot of experience," Young said.
"You can't be frustrated with one game because that frustration is going to end up snowballing," Washington said. "We've just got to come out and play ball and take advantage of opportunities. ...We had a couple today and we didn't."
The most notable opportunity lost came in the ninth.
With the game tied 4-4 and A's reliever Ryan Cook on the mound, Young led off with a grounder that went through the legs of A's third baseman Josh Donaldson. That error put a runner in scoring position with no outs for the Rangers.
Young moved to third on a groundout by Adrian Beltre. Oakland then issued an intentional walk to David Murphy to get the double-play possibility, bringing up Nelson Cruz. Cruz, who entered the game with a .323 average over his past 16 games, struck out swinging on three pitches.
With two outs, the A's started to pitch to Mike Napoli, but eventually walked him to load the bases and face Brandon Snyder.
Snyder didn't come through, rolling a grounder down the first-base line to end the inning.
"I'll take that situation any time with those guys up at the plate who didn't get it done," Washington said. "I would've felt comfortable with anybody right there, but we just didn't get it done."
Snyder entered the game in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter for Mitch Moreland, who homered in his two previous at-bats. Washington made that decision once Oakland brought in lefty Jordan Norberto.
Moreland has hit .188 against left-handers this season while Snyder has hit .364.
"I felt comfortable with Snyder," Washington said.
Moreland didn't argue Washington's decision: "I want to get as many at-bats as I can. I always want to play, but that's the way it goes. He's the manager. He makes the decision."
In the 10th, Oakland took advantage of an opportunity that went its way against Rangers reliever Mike Adams.
Jonny Gomes reached on a dribbler that stayed fair down the third-base line, moved to third on a single by Daric Barton and scored the game-deciding run on a single by Kila Ka'aihue.
Oakland left-hander Brian Fuentes worked around a one-out single by Ian Kinsler to close it out in the 10th. Adams was charged with the loss, although he felt as though he made only one mistake to Ka'aihue on the day.
"It's disappointing," Adams said. "I made every pitch but one. Just one of those days. The baseball gods weren't on our side today."

Tale was full of rocks and sand
And all you ever needed was a hand
I was drawn upon your hands
And holding on for strangeness just for friends
Grow [x4]
For more [x4]
And heads [x4]
Will roll [x4]
Are your heads on high?
You're waitin' for a conversation
Are you gonna tow that line?
And, are you healin'? [x3]
What you might believe before
And you might believe in when the tide runs, runs
All you are the best of friends
And all you offered at all with the sides run, round
I saw [x4]
I had [x4]
These times [x4]
I roll [x2]
And when you come back, I'll come runnin'
With your hearts set high
It's a marriage made for condescending
Are you gonna hold that line?
And, are you holdin', are you crimp?
I put all my heads on high
Waitin' for a conversation
Are you gonna tow that line?
And, are you healin', are you healin', are you feelin'
Hang them all [x4]
Need you, needed something
Hang them all [x4]
They need you, bleed for something
Hang them all [x8]

The professional training of counselors at Villanova University reflects the faculty's view of the ultimate goal of counseling in a pluralistic society: enhancing the cognitive, affective and social/interpersonal development of individuals and groups, fostering independence in decision-making and developing effective problem-solving strategies. The realization of these goals is achieved directly through counseling and consulting and indirectly through the coordination of ancillary services.
Villanova University's counseling program emphasizes counselor skill development and personal growth which are considered prerequisites to helping others. The program reflects humanistic orientation, with an emphasis on developing counseling relationships which are open, accepting and nonjudgmental yet reality-based. We assume that clients are helped most by counselors who display candor and openness in their interpersonal relationships. Consequently, the counseling program provides experiences and training that engender such behaviors.
Through its varied and interdisciplinary courses, counselor-trainees become familiar with issues related to human development, individual differences, human behavior and diversity. They learn to appraise and select counseling materials, to use appropriate evaluation procedures, to make expedient referrals, to provide consultative services, and to counsel both individuals, families and groups regardless of age, sex, religion, ethnic or socio-economic background or physical ability/disability. Research and knowledge of current literature are stressed throughout the program. Finally, students are required to apply their acquired knowledge of counseling situations in institutional and professional settings.
In concert with the Department of Education and Counseling's goal of supporting and advancing the Catholic identity and Augustinian Mission of Villanova University, the Counseling Program (CHR) invites its members, both faculty and students, to the common pursuit of truth. To that end the Counseling community is committed to the principle that service to the community must begin with the journey within. Through research, teaching, and reflective practice, each member of the Counseling community is prepared to provide effective counseling services to both schools and community agencies with the shared goal of enhancing the dignity of those who are served. Since its beginning nearly forty years ago, Villanova's Counseling Program continues to prepare its students to respond effectively to the individual, family, and systemic concerns which characterize our pluralistic society.

Dancing on Ice Star Jorgie Porter Shares Beauty Secrets, Plastic Surgery Not Among Them
February 11, 2014 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by ericharatz | Leave a Comment
English actress Jorgie Porter is a platinum blonde but her hair color may be as fake as she gets. The Hollyoaks soap star became popular on her season of Britain's popular reality show Dancing on Ice. While some stars go under the knife to fit into the skimpy costumes, Jorgie seems to be a natural beauty.
In an interview about her appearance on Dancing with Ice, Jorgie Porter shared many beauty secrets, including how she gets her eyelashes so lush and how she stays in shape. What she doesn't do is go in for plastic surgery.
When asked about her fabulous figure, Jorgie said that skating has helped to keep her tight and fit, "I love skating. My bum has toned up since training for Dancing On Ice."

While Jorgie enjoys looking good, she doesn't think she will ever want to go under the knife for any work, saying, "No. It can change the way you look. Imagine if you had surgery and it was horrific. I wouldn't mess with myself like that."
Given that Jorgie is only 26, she may change her mind as she grows older and decide to try some anti aging procedures or even boost her bust with breast implants if they begin to sag from the fatigue of age and exercise. However, Jorgie may also decide to go the natural route, given that her beauty icon appears to be aging naturally.
When asked who she thinks is beautiful, Jorgie replied, "Sofia Vergara from Modern Family. She is stunning and really curvaceous."
Just because Jorgie describes her style as tomboy and doesn't think that she will want to mess with plastic surgery in the future doesn't mean that the actress doesn't spend plenty of time messing with her looks. In the interview she also spilled her beauty secrets, from products to pampering.
Jorgie's favorite beauty products are top notch and include: "Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Butter lasts all day. Benefit Remove It smells amazing and I love Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème. On my hair I use L'Anza Trauma Treatment products."
As for how she manages to keep her cheeky glow, Jorgie reveals that her favorite makeup products are "Giorgio Armani Designer Lift foundation and Bourjois Cream Blush. "
And for a glam boost, "I have my lashes tinted at Lash Out! Lashes. A bit of lipstick always makes you look glam. "
In addition, Jorgie gets special facials to keep her pores open and smooth, "I go for facials with Nicola Harris at her Liverpool spa."
Oftentimes facial treatments include the use of an exfoliating device to help get rid of the debris that can clog the skin, making it look old and dull. While facials can be inconvenient and expensive, and at home cleansing device such as the ProSonic can help you get the same star glow at a fraction of the cost and none of the hassle of having to make a special spa appointment.

RIVER FOREST, ILL. – The scoreboard operator can always expect a busy day when the Concordia University Wisconsin and Concordia University Chicago football teams get together on the gridiron. This Saturday was no different as the Falcons picked up a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference victory, 48-42, over the Cougars.
The two teams combined for 1,127 yards of total offense, 696 of those coming through the air. Junior Austin Damaschke (Bristol, Wis.) threw for 380 yards and a touchdown in the win, while adding 53 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Sophomore LaCurt Evans (Bloomingdale) added 92 rushing yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons.
The Falcons built a 10-0 lead just 3:50 into play. Junior David Gonzalez (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) put CUW up 3-0 with 13:36 to play in the first quarter, which was followed by a 47-yard touchdown pass from Damaschke to junior wide receiver Garrett Wenzelburger (Hartland, Wis.). Wenzelburger put up his usual monster numbers as he caught 11 passes for 129 yards.
The Cougars cut the CUW lead to 10-7 on a one-yard touchdown run, but Damaschke and the offense answered with an eight-play, 49-yard drive capped off by a Damaschke five-yard touchdown run, giving the Falcons a 17-7 edge after one quarter of play.
The Falcon lead reached 27-14 by the end of the first half. CUC scored first in the second quarter on a 48-yard pass from Ryan Fischbach to Elijah Walker. Walker caught seven passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns on the day, while Fischbach threw four touchdowns and had 316 yards through the air.
Evans scored his first touchdown midway through the second quarter, putting the Falcons advantage at 10 points, while Gonzalez added a second-quarter field goal from 37 yards out making the halftime score 27-14.
The second half scoring started with Walker's second touchdown of the afternoon, this time coming from eight yards out and cutting the CUW lead to 27-21. The Falcons had a quick answer, however, as Damaschke scored from eight yards out just 1:09 later, pushing the advantage to 34-21.
CUW then made the lead a game-high 20 points with 2:16 remaining in the third quarter as Evans rushed one in from three yards out. That would be all the scoring until the fourth quarter as the Falcons took a 41-21 edge into the final 15 minutes of play.
The fourth quarter would see three CUC touchdowns as the Cougars did not go away easily. CUC scored with 10:15 remaining to cut the lead to 41-28 but the Falcons went back up 20 points when junior defensive back Brett Waldorf (Hartford, Wis.) intercepted a pass and returned it seven yards for a score. CUC would score twice in the final 5:05 of play, but the Falcons held on for the 48-42 victory.
The Falcons had four players finish with 63 or more receiving yards, led by Wenzelburger's 192. Senior Cody Johnson (Brookfield, Wis.) hauled in three passes for 99 yards, while senior James Saunders (Riverview, Fla.) and Evans added 64 and 63 receiving yards, respectively. Michael Brown added seven catches for 104 yards for CUC.
A big reason for the Falcons offensive success was their ability to gain good starting field position on kickoff returns. CUW averaged 31.2 yards per return on six returns as senior Joe Paul (West Bend, Wis.) and freshman Tyler White (Milwaukee, Wis.) each returned one 48 yards.
Sophomore Luke Scheuerlein (Thiensville, Wis.) led all players with 15 tackles, while adding half a sack. The Falcons finished with five sacks on the day, led by senior Taylor Witty (Milwaukee, Wis.) who recorded two.
CUW improved to 2-0 in conference play with the win and sit tied atop the league standings with Lakeland College. The Falcons and Muskies will break that tie atop the standings next Saturday at Tomasini Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. Live audio, stats and video will be available courtesy of CUWFalcons.com.

More federal money, more jobs and a new Puget Sound Corps are all among the expectations Washington policymakers have for a bill that the governor signed into law Monday.
House Bill 1294, which goes into effect in July, will move the administration of the Washington Conservation Corps from several agencies into the Ecology Department and add a special Puget Sound-focused branch of the corps.
"It's a very important piece of legislation that's primarily about the cleanup and conservation of the Puget Sound and about consolidation at the same time," said Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark, who helped develop the bill.
The Washington Conservation Corps, which hires 18- to 25-year-olds to work in parks, habitat conservation and other natural resource-oriented projects throughout the state, will add Puget Sound Corps crews dedicated to projects in the Sound's watershed.
Naki Stevens, executive policy advisor on Puget Sound for the Natural Resources Department, said that focus could attract more federal grant money.
She said the National Estuary Program, a 1987 initiative meant to improve estuary water quality around the U.S., and the 2007 creation of the Puget Sound Partnership in Washington have combined to attract federal attention to the region as an urban estuary in need of cleanup. Having a new job corps focused on the Sound will be a good way to attract funding, Stevens said.
She said the department was hoping to get about $4 million in federal grant money over the coming biennium to hire Puget Sound Corps crews, meaning the conservation corps should be able to take on at least 150 new workers. About 180 are employed now.
Conservation corps workers make $8.67 per hour and receive a $5,350 Americorps Education Award that they can put toward college tuition or use to pay off student loans after finishing a year of service.
Ecology Department spokesman Curt Hart said it was too soon to say where crews will work and when positions will open up because the department is still waiting to see what happens in the state biennial budget. But Puget Sound Corps crews will probably be working by the end of the year.
The bill will also add funding for the Veterans' Conservation Corps, which has been an all-volunteer force until now.
Under the new law, 5 percent of all federal grant money that agencies get for the Puget Sound Corps will have to be spent on the veterans' corps, which would mean some veterans could be paid.
Veterans' Conservation Corps program manager Mark Fischer said the details of that funding were still too unclear to say how many veterans could get paid under the bill, though he expected the prospect of wages would make the program more popular, especially among younger veterans looking for work.
Second-year Washington Conservation Corps member Anthony Foote, who does trail maintenance in the Olympic National Forest, said the conservations corps had been a good experience for him and would help him pay for college. He said he was glad the new law would add corps jobs for Puget Sound.
"Any time we can get more people doing this it's a good thing," he said.
Sen. Mike Carrell, a Lakewood Republican who voted against the bill in the Senate, said he worried it was a feel-good measure that wouldn't be effective at cleaning up Puget Sound. He said adding 150 workers in the area would do little to fend off impending problems, likening it to "repainting the bridge on the Titanic different colors."
The new Puget Sound Corps' projects, Hart said, would be designed to fit in with plans for the Sound's cleanup developed by the Tacoma-based Puget Sound Partnership, a state agency in charge of developing an Action Agenda for cleaning up the Sound by 2020.

To emphasize the reality of the post below….I wrote it on the 8th and just discovered my draft, 10 days later. Sigh…. I think I know now why I got sick!
Life has been more than a little crazy lately. It's that dang boomerang effect again. You set things in motion, wait in limbo while things are brewing, and then WHAM! It all hits you at once. Money, job, career, physical, psychological, emotional, family, more family, and it's all on a tight schedule. Thankfully, I am not alone. Tom Lescher, a Leo astrologer I met recently, does his weekly Pele Report on YouTube. I highly recommend it. His forecast for March sounds spot on with what I am dealing with:
The month of March will be a lot easier for you if you just pretend that you have boarded the high-speed bullet train that gets you to your destination at hundreds of miles per hour (whether you are late or not!). This is a month where our nervous systems are undergoing a great cosmic cleanse. It is an opportunity to rid ourselves of all the shaky, old, outworn mental patterns that are no longer serving us. Beyond that, we will have an opportunity to purge immature emotional patterns lingering from lifetimes gone by that are preventing us from fully realizing our potential.
I love his humor, and it seems I will need it this month. All kinds of past stuff is bubbling up, and I have to find a way to let it go and redefine how I live in the world. It's kind of like being told you have wings, being thrown off a cliff, and trusting that you will know how to fly. Like the Phoenix, I want to die and rise from the ashes anew, pure like I came into this world.

DOE is looking for a few good teachers — from Samoa
Samoa's Minister of Education, Magele Mauiliu Magele, claims that American Samoa Department of Education personnel who are recruiting in Samoa are there to "steal" teachers from Samoa. Magele's comments were brought up during the Parliament session on Tuesday, after learning that ASDOE staff was recruiting in Samoa.
According to the Samoa Observer, during the Parliament Session, Magele did not mince words when raising his concern about ASDOE's move.
"About the representatives from American Samoa who are in the country, it appears that they have come to steal— in a respectful manner— teachers from here."
Minister Magele pointed out that he's not upset about the move by DOE; rather, he said, "this is a challenge to the Ministry." The Minister also told Parliament he was "not fully aware" about what's being offered by the American Samoa recruitment drive to lure teachers over.
"But we are looking into it," he said. On the other hand, Magele said if Samoa has too many teachers, "this would be one of the good markets" for our people to find work.
Samoa News sent queries to DOE Director Vaitinasa Salu Hunkin-Finau who had her Assistant Director for DOE's Secondary Division Samasoni Asaeli, respond, explaining the purpose of their trip to Samoa.
"We are always short of qualified teachers every year, especially in the content areas of English, Math, Science, and the trades. So, instead of going elsewhere, Samoa is the most sensible choice to recruit from because we share the same language and culture, and this is a plus in our current effort to promote the use our language to help teach our students to be proficient in both Samoan and English."
He further told Samoa News that they are currently in Samoa for the entire week with DOE Director Vaitinasa and Deputy Director of Instruction, Faauifono Vaitautolu. Asaeli said overall, they are looking at hiring at 20-30 qualified teachers to meet the needs in the areas mentioned. "Relatively, the number from Samoa depends on the number of qualified applicants we get."
Asaeli said the mission they are on for the week, is nothing new, this program of recruiting teachers from Samoa occurred before and was discontinued in 2004.
Asked what ASDOE has offered to attract teachers from Samoa, Asaeli said for qualified applicants from Samoa they will be given the same contract benefits as any other contract worker hired by the government. The salary will be commensurate with qualifications equivalent to the American system of education.
Earlier this week, Deputy Director Vaitautolu, told the Samoa Observer, "Every year there is a shortage of teachers in American Samoa because they either resign, retire or transfer to other countries."
Asaeli told the Samoa Observer that instead of going overseas to countries like India, Philippines and America for help, Samoa is close by. "Samoa is our neighboring island and teachers from here are familiar with the language," he said.

By the time you read this, Microsoft will have finally rounded out its 32-bit Windows 2000 product family with the release of Win2K Datacenter Server. Datacenter builds on Win2K Advanced Server features, adding all the bug fixes in Win2K AS Service Pack 1 (SP1) as well as support for 64GB of RAM, 32-bit processors, two- and four-node clustering, partitioning, and network load balancing. Aimed at companies engaged in e-commerce, application service providers (ASPs), and other high-end customers who need reliability and scalability, Datacenter is Microsoft's first legitimate stab at a market dominated by big iron.
Microsoft has long preached an enterprise model that matches Win2K's and Windows NT's distributed computing model. Datacenter combines Win2K's scale-out benefits with a more traditional scale-up model (i.e., one large box with massive multiprocessing capabilities). With Datacenter, the company hopes to finally gain the credibility that has eluded it since it first announced NT. (NT's image has suffered because of real and perceived limitations and flaws.) But simply building a bigger Win2K isn't enough to accomplish that goal. To tackle the needs of high-end customers, many of whom might not otherwise consider Win2K, Microsoft has created a reliability-testing infrastructure called the Windows Datacenter Program, which ensures that Datacenter will be preinstalled on only those systems that the company has thoroughly tested and validated.
The key to the Windows Datacenter Program is a Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) that each Datacenter-compatible hardware product must pass. After a hardware device has passed this rigorous test, Microsoft certifies its compatibility with Datacenter and places it on the Datacenter Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), which will be available on Microsoft's Web site after the Datacenter release. Because of the test's stringent nature, products on Datacenter's HCL are only a subset of those compatible with other Win2K editions. Datacenter systems must guarantee at least 99.9 percent uptime, and PC makers that sell such Datacenter systems must provide, on a regular basis, uptime reports and other statistics to Microsoft. In addition, Datacenter systems must support at least eight processors, although they can ship with as few as one. Datacenter licensing is based on the number of processors the system can support, and businesses must purchase Client Access Licenses (CALs) separately from the system.
Although Datacenter seems to address many of enterprise customers' scalability problems with Win2K, whether the product can make inroads into the high-end market remains to be seen. As Win2K's market scales ever upward, I'll be interested to see which platform customers ultimately embrace.

text: Larkin was a fine reader of his work and the Archive is delighted to be able to present for the first time extracts from a newly-discovered recording dating from the early 1980s. It was made by John Weeks, the sound archivist at Hull University, and so a colleague of Larkin's. Despite the relaxed circumstances in which the sessions were recorded (on a series of Sunday afternoons following a leisurely lunch) the sound quality is excellent. Significant too is the extent of the recording: in choosing to read just shy of thirty poems, Larkin seems to be offering an overview of his career, as if aware he was nearing its end. The tapes were discovered in a garage by Mr Weeks' son and a commercial release will be forthcoming from Faber & Faber in January 2009. In the meantime, Archive listeners can enjoy a preview of Larkin's expert delivery of three of his most famous poems: 'Mr Bleaney', 'The Whitsun Weddings' and 'The Trees'. Larkin's voice on the page - full of hesitations and qualifications which give the impression of a mind caught in the act of thinking - is particularly suited to reading aloud. Larkin once said of his poems that he wanted to give readers the impression of "a chap chatting to chaps" and certainly his understated delivery does the colloquial aspect of his poetry justice. But this tone is balanced in these poems by a hard-won lyricism, transcendence even, especially in the final stanza of 'The Whitsun Weddings' which shifts the language of the poem from realist description into heightened metaphor with the beautiful image of gathering emotional momentum as an arrow shower "somewhere becoming rain". It is such sudden openings, coupled with the subtle music of his highly-structured but flexible verse forms, that lifts Larkin's poetry beyond the misanthropy of which he sometimes stands accused.

Civil Society Is Working in Northville
Wayne County's Northville Twp has seen a flurry of civic activity around the rebuilding of a barn and petting farm since fire destroyed the facility in February of last year. The "Living Farm" sits on 50 acres in Maybury State Park, and has given children from Southeastern Michigan a venue for learning about the Great Lakes State's agricultural history for a quarter century.
The fire destroyed most of the petting farm's animals, which were trapped inside the barn as it was swept by flame. Nearly 50 horses, sheep, pigs and rabbits died in the blaze; only a few donkeys and some chickens survived. Just one month later, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced it would close the farm permanently due to Michigan's budget woes. Until last year the farm was operated by the state as part of the park. Officials at the DNR couldn't say exactly how much the farm cost to run because it was part of the overall park budget.
Stay Engaged
But since the fire, individual donors and businesses have swung into action to help keep the farm open, donating time, money and assets to its reconstruction and improvement. The state still owns the land, but the farm is now operated privately.
"Civil society" is, by definition, that network of private institutions, community associations, schools and religious organizations, families and friends and coworkers, and all their voluntary, from-the-heart interactions. The Northville Community Foundation, which has taken upon itself to oversee reconstruction of the petting farm, generally fits that description. The Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit, autonomous, publicly supported, philanthropic institution, and, according to its web site at http://www.northvillecommunityfoundation.com/pages/937740/index.htm, manages a collection of permanently endowed funds for the long-term benefit of the community. The DNR has offered the Foundation a 15-year lease to operate the petting farm.
Although the Foundation does take public funds, no government money has been used to redevelop and maintain the Living Farm. The Foundation intends to raise $3 million to endow the farm with a stream of revenue for future use. Toward that end, the Foundation held a "Buy a Board" campaign Feb. 12, in which citizens could pay $250 to have their name placed on Maybury's "Farm Builder's Board" to be displayed at the new farm. Toll Brothers, Inc., a private homebuilder, has also donated a barn dating from the late 1800s as a gift.
This is not the only experience the DNR has with long-term leases. It is currently negotiating such a lease with a for-profit group to manage the state-owned Porcupine Mountains Downhill Ski Area in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The existing contract with the group is expected to save taxpayers $200,000 in 2004.
It is remarkable the degree to which the people and institutions of civil society are willing to fill the void left when government steps aside. And it's too bad that in the case of Maybury State Park Living Farm, it took a budget crisis to make the state government willing to allow civil society the chance to do what only it does best.
Experience such as Living Farm's should inspire our state government to hand back to civil society more of the responsibilities government shouldn't be handling in the first place.

"a fish, a barrel, and a smoking gun"
In May 1997, The Washington Post
dispatched papal legate Howard
Kurtz to the "grime-covered"
offices of Feed to issue an
encyclical on the heathen land of
the Internet. The result was a
romantic piece purporting to
chronicle the final moments
before big-media "sharks" would
dominate America's favorite
fishbowl. (Kurtz's quaint
evocation of an innocent and
fleeting era is best shown by
his quoting two Suck Dailies for
the first and probably last
time.) We suspect most Post
Style section readers flipped
over to "The Reliable Source"
tout de suite, but the
2,000-plus-word opus must have
landed like a flaming stone
tablet on the filthy couches of
underemployed journalists: Get
online, frustrated young writer,
while the big shots are still
nervous and curious enough to
read this electric crap.
Today, the insta-historian
reading Kurtz's article for
foreshadowings of the new-media
monde to come would be drawn to
the quotes from lately hatched
IPO-lings David Talbot and James
Cramer. But look closer: There's
John Heilemann, The New Yorker
writer formerly of HotWired.
There's Courtney Weaver, then an
online Anka, today an offline
scribe with a six-figure book
deal. Josh Quittner, then of the
late Netly News, now an
ink-and-paper newsweekly
columnist. Jon Katz, blessedly
lucky Netizen now turned
blessedly lucky Rolling Stone
Netropologist. Kurtz's piece is
a veritable St. Elmo's Fire of
minor-media lights gone into
print, notable not so much for
those who would find riches
online as for those who would
grab an offline lifeline as soon
as they were spotted from the
With all the attention lately
given to the Internet
Millionaires, there's been
almost none for the medium's
true and more legion
success story: the Internet
Thousandaires. You want absurd
multiples? You want ROI? You
want insane growth on no
fundamentals? How about
transforming an income stream of
US$100 online-mag reviews and
$300, 1,500-word articles into
$2-plus-a-word dispensations
from Si Newhouse and Gerald
Levin? Beat that, Michael Dell!
The Big Score may grab the
headlines, but those madly
keeping the ASCII flying in the
cheap satanic mills of online
publishing know it's always been
about the Little Score,
notwithstanding either the
mercantile myth of today's
official online narrative or the
prefab idealism of yesterday's.
"For legions of aspiring
writers, the Web was nirvana,"
Kurtz wrote in 1997, "a magical
place where anyone could become
a publisher without having to
shell out for printing
Ahem. Kurtz's Rossetto-colored
view may still hold true for
those of us with "angelfire" in
our URLs, but for paid scribes,
the Web was and is a magical
place where someone else could
become a publisher and would
shell out beer money, at least,
while giving you a national
platform and the attention of
bored, lunch-breaking magazine
editors, all for contributing
weed-stoked ruminations to
seat-of-the-pants, copy-starved
outlets with lower entrance
requirements than a mid-sized
burg's alternative shopper.
Once in a while, a new-media
metaphor actually fits, like
today's "gold rush" and "land
grab" tropes. While the Sutters
got the notice, the West was
truly won by the thousands of
outcasts from civilized society
who supported their
corn-squeezin' habits by selling
shovels and picks for a
half-eagle a piece and whose
descendants would someday own
not uranium mines but 7-eleven
franchises. Just so, Web
publications hosted a microflora
of grateful newspaper and
broadcast washouts, alt-weekly
regulars, and quasi-academics on
the career slow track, who took
advantage of the
disproportionate attention
accorded the novelty medium to
accelerate their careers.
And like many an earlier
immigrant, they're hopping the
boat back to the old country as
soon as their paychecks clear.
James Surowiecki, the
hardest-working man in, well,
business, leapfrogged from the
Motley Fool to Salon to Slate
before blazing into New York
magazine, Fortune, and finally
(by way of The New Yorker,
Details, and Worth)
a staff job at Talk. Netly alum
Noah Robischon offers digital
cred to both Brill's
Content and Entertainment
Weekly. And besides Weaver
(whose axing leavened the
sex-mad rep of a magazine that
had just loosed 300 pounds of
white-maned lovin'
white-maned lovin'), Salon bled
books editor Dwight Garner (The
New York Times Book Review ),
editor Lori Leibovich (Talk,
again), and most recently, media
columnist and Surowiecki
Poniewozik (Time). Even those
who haven't defected altogether
cross the border as often as
possible like our own
Sucklings, who've hit up Spin, Mother
Jones, Wired, and others for
hard currency, real Western blue
jeans, and above all, Y2K-proof
These are the Long Boom's
depression babies, dedicated to
locking in their middling
fortune before the building and
loan shuts down. And yet,
ironically, their minor grabs at
coin wouldn't be possible
without the online-jackpot myth
and the disproportionate
attention it lends their digital
work. Marisa Bowe of Word
recently penned a New York
Observer piece about Silicon Alley
IPO envy that resonated like a
Howl for new-media near-missers:
"I saw the luckiest minds of my
generation get filthy fucking
rich!" In her heart of hearts,
though, does she envy the vested
denizens of iVillage? Or Ira
Glass,who's parlayed Word's own
mix of pitch-perfect amateurism,
musical snippets, and
worst-job-ever stories into a
more imaginable, mid-grade
success: a record album, a
possible television show, and
unchallenged roosterhood of
public radio's lonely-hearts
henhouse? Impression editor (and
MSNBC.com alum) Andy Wang may
have impishly placed his site on
the auction block
the auction blockfor $3
million. But does he really
dream of getting his full
valuation from Wall Street or
from West 43rd Street?
As for the much-vaunted
old-to-new-media migration, no
one's denying Dave Kansas or
Larry Kramer props, but some of
the splashier entrants make
their promised land look more
like Australia than the New
Jerusalem. CNN's Lou Dobbs
on-air-tantrummed his way into
space-mogul status and has been
less-convincingly protesting his
enthusiasm ever since.
Meanwhile, Tailwind vet Peter
Arnett barely had time to get
the Sarin smell dry-cleaned out
of his wardrobe before jumping
into foreignnews.com. And why
not, really? It's a more
romantic metaphor: the Web as
French Foreign Legion, welcoming
all and asking no questions. How
many weeks, really, does anyone
expect lost Wunderkind Ruth
Shalit to spend stamping
impeccably crafted, glossy-grade
license plates at her present
halfway house before she and
some rehabilitationist print
editor decide she's paid her
debt to society?
But it's old media's ur-castaway,
Michael Kinsley, who really
encapsulates the nonvicious
circle of coverage of the
new-media story. He leaps onto
the Web, and it's proof of the
viability of new media. He
nearly skips off, and it's the
same story you don't keep
Si stewing in his hotel suite if
you believe you're stuck in this
decade's equivalent of CB radio.
But what the inside-baseball
analysts of the decision almost
totally ignored, reading it as a
clash of old and new media, was
that Kinsley would have been
giving up a fat pot of Microsoft
stock options no paltry
IPO lottery tickets for
mere prestige and a paycheck.
There's your proof of the
arrival of new media and
surprising evidence that Kinsley
is much more of a true Web
journalist than he's credited
for being. He, just like the
third-string army crying for
Tina Brown's notice, realizes
that prospecting the Web is no
longer either an exile or a
higher calling. It's just a
freaking job. As he and his
less-blessed brethren know, the
most powerful medium is and will
always be a printed one: namely,
the kind that uses green ink.

Here are eight fun ways to spill the beans. Up Close and Personal If you've chosen to share your news via a gender reveal party, here are some creative strategies you can carry out yourself or with the help of the party host. • Select a blue bodysuit and a pink bodysuit of the same price at a baby store. Hand the sealed envelope containing a slip of paper revealing your baby's gender to the cashier and have her secretly wrap up the bodysuit that corresponds with the correct gender. Wait to open the wrapped present in front of family and friends during your gender reveal party. • Combine your gender reveal party with your baby shower by planning a gender-specific theme or games. Present the sealed envelope from the ultrasound technician to the party host and allow her to secretly plan the theme and party elements. On the day of your party, ensure that she has cameras in place to capture you and your partner as you walk through the door and react to the exciting news. • Purchase bottles of bubbles — one with pink packaging and one with blue packaging — and ask that a friend or family member secretly add food coloring (red in this case) to the solution. At your reveal celebration, you and your partner should wear white T-shirts and blow the bubbles at one another. Once your shirts are dry, put them in a memory box along with other party mementos to hang in your baby's nursery. • Have the party host order an opaque balloon from a party store and ask the store employee to fill it with the pink confetti. During your gathering, have a loved one take a picture while you and your partner pop the balloon. • Ask the party host to order a gender-neutral piñata filled with blue or pink candies and toys. At your gender reveal party, let all your friends and family take a turn whacking the piñata, before you and your partner give it the final swing. Once the goodies come pouring out, grab a handful and toss them over your head—it'll make for an adorable photo. Long Distance Revelations If you live far from your loved ones or simply prefer not to have a gender reveal party, here's how you can document the announcement and share it via snail mail, email, or on your favorite social media website. • Decide with your partner before the big appointment that he will secretly learn your baby's gender from the ultrasound tech, following the scan. Ask him to purchase an item of jewelry (ruby earrings, anyone?) that will reveal your child's gender. Suggest that your partner take you out on an intimate date to present you with the gift, and take a picture wearing your new jewels. Post it on your social media page and wait for the reactions! • Have your partner take a picture of you blowing pink glitter from your hands. Alter the image so that everything appears in black and white, except for the glitter. Make dozens of copies and mail them to your family members and friends. • If you find out your baby's gender in fall, invite friends and family over to carve pumpkins. Carefully carve "It's a Girl" into your pumpkin, either before your guests arrive or in a spot that's out of your guests' line of sight. When everyone is done carving, put a lit candle inside each pumpkin and place the pumpkins on your doorstep. Ask everyone to stand below your steps with their eyes closed, and then capture their expressions from the doorway when you tell them to open their eyes. Pose for a picture with your carved pumpkin and email it, along with an image of the priceless reactions you caught on camera, to loved ones who were not able to make the pumpkin party. Once you've revealed your baby's gender, you'll be getting many tips and questions about what you'll name your little girl. Use the Pampers Baby Name Generator to find the perfect name. content banner You might also like:

DENVER (AP) - Attorneys for a veteran who sued Colorado police officers say a jury has agreed they used excessive force when arresting the man in 2015.
A statement issued by Robert Mark Smith's attorneys says a federal jury awarded him about $760,000 Wednesday in the suit against the town of Kremmling, its police chief and two other officers.
Attorneys representing the town, Police Chief Scott Spade, Sgt. Todd Wilson and Officer Robert Dillon declined comment on Wednesday.
The original lawsuit says Smith had become a frequent critic of local police and didn't want to allow officers into his home without a warrant in March of 2013.
The suit says three officers came inside, used a Taser on Smith and "kicked, stomped and/or punched" him when he was lying on his stomach.

The challenge
Our key role for communication was to improve Malibu's brand image and drive awareness and footfall to Malibu's 'Malibutique' - events touring the country where consumers can experience the latest fashion and beauty products, while enjoying 'pre-party' tracks and the new range of Malibu summer cocktails.
Our Approach
To give Malibu more contemporary credibility, we wanted to provide engaging content with which its audience could interact with. Our insight showed us that their target audience's passions were fashion, celebrity and having great nights out with friends, and therefore we devised a cross platform deal spanning print, digital and radio that had these passions at their core. We also wanted to create a strong link between Malibu and Summer – a time of year intrinsically linked to Malibu when consumption is high.
The Idea
heat and Grazia are influential brands with incredibly style conscious audiences. With these brands at the core, we created high impact branded content focused around 'Summer Style', with all activity driving to the Malibutique events.
The campaign launched with a heat produced bespoke 32 page Malibu-branded Summer Style mini-magazine which was available at the events and bound into the main magazine. Thereafter a bespoke Malibu branded style page 'Who, What, Wear' along with integrated sponsorship of the regular section, 'Steal her Style' ran for 12 weeks in the celebrity weekly. This reinforced Malibu's key messages and association with Summer. We made the most of the fashion credentials of Grazia by producing four stunning DPS advertorials, each depicting a key Summer scene in which to intrinsically link Malibu and make it the 'must have' item of the Summer.
heat and Grazia's online, Facebook and Twitter platforms drove audiences to a Malibu Facebook page populated with exclusive heat and Grazia generated content.
heat editorial teams attended three 'Malibutique' pop-up events, in major shopping centres in London, Birmingham and Manchester. They offered exclusive style and beauty advice to users of the styling boutiques. Events were promoted in Grazia and heat magazine, as well as on Grazia Daily, heat online and heat Radio.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) - Have you ever not known quite what to say or exactly how to respond to a friend or co-worker who is dealing with personal strife, depression or substance abuse? Well The Mental Health Center of Madison County is now offering a course open to the non-metal health professional to make sure you're never at a loss for words again.
The Mental Health Center of Madison County is now offering a course called 'Mental Health First Aid'. The 8-hour course presents an overview of mental illnesses and substance use disorders in the U.S. and introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of their impact on individuals, families and communities, and overviews common treatments and resources.
"Here's what to look for in your friends, in your family in your neighbors, in your co-workers who may be having mental health or substance abuse challenges - and then here's what to do as a lay person if you find that they are struggling with something."
Mental Health Center of Madison County CEO Brian Davis explains recovery is possible with early intervention but only 41% of those with a mental illness will seek help in any given year and 50% will delay getting help for an average of 10 years - largely due to stigma associated with mental health problems.
"That is our neighbors, or friends, our family members; that is a far greater number than we have the resources, obviously, to treat," explains Davis.
MHFA has been proven to improve understanding and to decrease stigma related to mental illness and substance use, Davis says. The goal is for MHFA training to become as readily recognized in a few years as CPR and First Aid trainings are today.
"If we can get the word out to where we're all kind of all watching out for each other in our schools, in our churches, in our communities and workplaces then ultimately you have a healthier community and you're more likely to catch people sooner rather than later."
The registration fee for the course is $25. To learn more about MHFA and future trainings offered through the Mental Health Center contact Rita Limbaugh, Community Education Director of the Mental Health Center at 256-705-6379.

Deck the halls and man the battle stations. The fight has resumed.
I'm referring, of course, to the so-called War on Christmas, a yearly call to arms by those whose Christmas cheer is under siege. Or so they claim … fear … and warn.
This annual uproar may have escaped the notice of some Christmas observers.
Those are people who mean no disrespect to Christmas by replacing "Merry Christmas" with the more inclusive "Happy holidays." Those are people who are able to forgive as good intentions gone awry the occasional misguided stab at political correctness. ("Holiday tree"? Really?!)
Those are people who might be surprised to learn that Christmas is under threat of a power grab by atheists, libertines, elites, advocates for gay rights, pro-abortion rights and drug legalization, plus garden-variety left-wing wack jobs.
In short, those are people who aren't watching Bill O'Reilly.
No one is more vociferous in leading the Christmas pushback than this Fox News Channel superstar, whose seasonal war cry on "The O'Reilly Factor" has become a Christmas tradition of its own.
Every right-thinking person needs to "stand up and fight against this secular progressivism that wants to diminish the Christmas holiday," he fulminated recently to that night's guest, Fox News personality and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. "We have to start to fight back against these people."
Turning the "No-Spin Zone" into a holiday war zone, O'Reilly is all for keeping Christ in Christmas.
At the same time, he proclaims that everyone _ no matter their faith _ should call a Christmas tree "a Christmas tree" and knock off their whining.
And there's more where that came from.
Never mind that Webster's New World College Dictionary defines "Christianity" as: (1) Christians collectively; (2) the Christian religion; (3) a particular Christian religious system; (4) the state of being a Christian. No mention of "philosophy."
But in the No-Spin Zone, at least, O'Reilly's facts trump everybody else's as he milks this Christmas controversy, treating this "war" as if it were something new that can be won if he sermonizes loudly enough.
It's nothing new, according to Stephen Nissenbaum, author of "The Battle for Christmas," an absorbing 1996 cultural history of the holiday. Bottom line: The holiness of Christmas has always been challenged by earthly practices. Through the centuries, spirituality and paganism have coexisted at Christmas time uneasily.
Nissenbaum's book reminds us that not until the fourth century did the Church officially decree Dec. 25 as the date for Christmas, because it roughly coincided with the winter solstice, already long observed with a pagan festival.
Leaping ahead to the United States of the 1840s, the holiday had begun to resemble the Christmas we observe today, with the popular poem first published two decades earlier, "`Twas the Night Before Christmas," serving as an influential guidepost. And already _ with images of Santa Claus even then being used in advertisements aimed at children _ people were decrying the holiday's commercialization.
In short, Christmas has always been in flux and at odds with itself.
Nissenbaum (who during a recent phone interview noted that he was making no references to O'Reilly, whose show he said he's never seen) reflected on the proposition that a Christmas tree is cultural and secular, and therefore shouldn't offend non-Christians.
But you can sure try. When it comes to war coverage, O'Reilly spent less than 14 minutes on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan last December, while devoting roughly 42 minutes to the War on Christmas, according to liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America.
As an "O'Reilly Factor" franchise, the War on Christmas is just the latest chapter in the holiday's contentious history. It makes Christmas a political wedge issue. It's a celebration that, under the pretense of peace and goodwill, is ripe for fighting about on his show.
Call it what you like, Christmas waged like that is just an annual observance of Us vs. Them.

Because... You Deserve The Best!!
As an Atlanta native, I have been privileged to be an active player, in the growth and increasing diversity of the "largest city in the south." I have been a licensed realtor working in metro Atlanta since 1987. Over these many years, I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of individuals with a variety of criteria, in their sale and search of a new home or investment property. The success of these past transactions and ongoing relationships have resulted in many referrals from my clients to their family, friends and co-workers.
As an entrepreneur, and member of the Atlanta business community since 1980, I am deeply appreciative of the many challenges faced by individuals relocating because of business opportunities. This understanding of the many issues facing people, who are changing both their homes and their careers, makes me uniquely qualified to offer professional support, guidance and encouragement with the sale or search for a new home. My degree in Early Childhood Education also helps me understand the special needs of children whose families are relocating.
In a city of continued development, there is always more than one route to take home. Trust the Atlanta native who has your best interest in mind...and in heart, to map out that path. Because... You Deserve the Best!!
