I've also heard that once you leave and set out on your own path in life, "you can never really go back home." I'm not sure that such sweeping statements apply to every situation, but they certainly . applied to the Lord Jesus, Who did go back to His "hometown" in the days of His earthly ministry. He was born in Bethlehem, spent a very brief time in Egypt (when Herod the Great was trying to find and kill the "little King"), and was occasionally in Jerusalem in accordance with the instructions God had given His people at that time. But the town of Nazareth had the privilege of being the place in which Jesus "grew up." Remember that the Lord Jesus had entered fully into the humWJ experience (except without sin, Hebrews 4: 15), so it was Nazareth in which the Lord would have cultivated His earliest humWJ friendships and fond memories. Did He feel sentimental towards this small town and wax nostalgic whenever He heard the first centuiy equivalent of the Springsteen son~, "This Is Your Hometown' ? I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that He did. What I do see, however, in reading of His experience in "going back. home," is His hometown's failure to recognize just Who it was that they had in their ranks for nearly 30 years. "Jesus ... went to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples. When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synago~ue, and many who heard Htm were amazed. 'Where did this man get these things?' they asked. 'What's this wisdom that has been given Him, that He even does miracles' Isn't this the carpenter? 14-15; Jeremiah 2:13). Or Pastor Thom Mollohan Isn't this Mary' s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren' t His sisters here with us?' Jesus said to them, 'Only in his hometown. among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor'" (Mark 6:1-4 NIV). What a shame! Here was a whole town of people who thought that they had Jesus figured out' A whole community who thought that they knew Jesus, but didn't really know Him at all. And in "dismissing" His divine identity, they were dismissing the very hope and -only source of hfe that each and every one of Nazareth's citizens so desperately needed. "He could not do any miracles there, exce~t lay His hands on a few stck people and heal them. And He was amazed (or He marveled) at their lack of faith" (Mark 6:~·6 NIV). A great many pedpie have taught a great many things about verse 5, saymg that · somehow God's power was curtailed by the hai'd hearts of the l;lCOP.le of Nazareth. But that 1sn t so. Refusing to recognize the glorious identity of Jesus' Person cannot in any way diminish His essence. What it DOES do, however, is tragically' limit what we could have otherwise hoped for in knowing Him. If we choose to riot that from Him flow hfe-giving waters, we'll not be able ·to quench our parched souls' thirst for somethin~ more than what this phystcal life alone can supply (John 4: 10, recowtze refusing to accept that He has the authority to forgive sin prevents us from having that cursed burden lifted from our shoulders, leaving us under the crushing weight of condemnation (Matthew 9:2, 5-6; John 8: I0-11; Romans 8: I). What miracles then couldn't He do in the little burg of Nazareth? Well, His power over the physical realm was Clearly unhiqdered for He was still fully capable of bringing healing to physical bodies (and did so for some). The people of Nazareth spiritual diseases, however, remained with them. The people's collective refusal to accept Jesus for Who He was closed their hearts to His power over their sick souls and the spiritual hunger that only He could satisfy. In fact, Matthew 13 says that they ''took offense at Him" (verse 57) and Mark 4 records that they not only were offended but just about "lynched" Him. And why? Because they didn't like the fact that this "carpenter'' forgot His place and was "meddling" with their personal lives. People don't like people who point out their depravity, especially if the people· pointing it out are their own peo~fe. We'll say thmgs like, "Just who does he think HE is anyway? Why that hypocrite I Where does HE get off tellinsl ME how tolive my life!" anCI 50 on. And how do. I know that the spiritual realm is where Jesus "couldn't" do His miracles in the lives of the Nazarenes? Because of what happens next in Mark 6. Jesus responds to this by leaving Nazl!feth and reaching out with the love of God to the neighboring villages by sending out His disciples with the message that "people should repent" (Mark 6: I 2). . Again, Jesus' essence cannot be diminished by lack of faith on your part or mine, but we are rendered "unreachable'; if we refuse to · climb down off of the pedestal of our pride or relinquish pur selfishness. Rejecting His right to our Uves as Lord or refusing to acknowledge the truth of His Word as applied to our lives (e.g., that we need to forsake sin and follow Him) leaves us shut out of the grace that He would lavish upon us if we would simply humble ourselves and tum to Hitn. Just think of the power ·that God could unleash in your life if you would tum wholeheartedly to Him and let Him into your heart! Such power can transform you, your family, your community, and your country! "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and tum from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV). We as a.people need miracles. We need the miracle of lives being changed from self-serving to serving God and others. We need the miracle of hearts being set free from hopelessness and despair, given instead a new destiny filled with purpose, peace and jo,Y. The fiiCt is that Ood Is wanting to do just that in our lives. The only thing He Is waiting on is for us to really start believe that He is Who He says He is, repent, and tum to Him.

Have you lost track of the important while chasing after the urgent? Have you found the time for everything? God gives us all the time we need, but it must be managed in God's way. Jesus explains how to set our time priorities: "I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or abQut your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ... your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

Matthew 5:8 We often hear the phrase: ·~ars of clay" used to refer to. our bodies as fragile vessels. This metaphor is often used to describe not only the fragility of our bodies, but also 1he fact thai we are crealed by God. The metaphor i!:i also apt lOr de.'ieribing huw our bodies contain a spirit or soul, and that the soul is our true essence, not the jars of cl!lY which represent our bodies. Our bodies will inevitably hrcak down and die. just a.~ jurs of clay will inevitably break. The jars of clay metaphor might also be used for describing the phenomenon of our bodies no1 being able to contain God's love, or even just love in geneml. We sometimes find ourselves overflowi ng with emotion: laughter and tears make us literally spasm odi~ with emotion, as our fragi le bodies !Anlggle 10 comain the emotion within us. But. there is something else we might add to our analogy, and that is that our bodies are vessels carrying our DNA.

The Dally Sentinel • Page A3 WORSIDP GOD THIS WEEK Forgiven4 Important vs. UfXent to perfotm There are three kinds of people in the world: those who CWJ make WJd keep track of lists WJd those who can't. OK. you can probably guess where I fit. I've tried to make lists and get myself orgWJized. I've had day plWJners, gone to time mWJagement seminars, tried computer calendar and tracking programs - but none of them have truly worked for me. I really wish I could use a planner better. If I could get the hang of it, I might be better at doing both the urgent stuff and the important stuff. As it is, the urgent tends to crowd out the important. I look into the kitchen and see a mess of dishes. They've got to be cleaned, and it's my job to clean .them. I also need to make some phone calls, make lesson plans for a Bible studr, prepare for next Sunday s worship service, write a couple of thank-you notes, send a get-well-soon card, visit someone at the hospital (in Columbus), etc . Every single one of those activities is important. But not all of them are. urgent. Can you guess which ones are left undone? The thankyou cards, the get-well c.ard - and the dishes. Then my wife comes into my study and asks me when am I going to take care of the kitchen? Oops! Suddenly the dishes become urgent and off I go. Before I know it, a week's gone by and I still have important things to do that did not get done. Then I'm hit with a further realization - what about the impor· tance oftime with God? My family? Did I let go of God and family to take care of urgent busywork? Big sigh. Yes. I'm guilty as cllarged. Beirig a pastor doesn't guarantee I've got a healthy well-balanced life. B11t ilie good news is that God doesn't expect me- or you -to do it on our own.

I've also heard that once you leave and set out on your own path in life, "you can never really go back home." I'm not sure that such sweeping statements apply to every situation, but they certainly . applied to the Lord Jesus, Who did go back to His "hometown" in the days of His earthly ministry. He was born in Bethlehem, spent a very brief time in Egypt (when Herod the Great was trying to find and kill the "little King"), and was occasionally in Jerusalem in accordance with the instructions God had given His people at that time. But the town of Nazareth had the privilege of being the place in which Jesus "grew up." Remember that the Lord Jesus had entered fully into the humWJ experience (except without sin, Hebrews 4: 15), so it was Nazareth in which the Lord would have cultivated His earliest humWJ friendships and fond memories. Did He feel sentimental towards this small town and wax nostalgic whenever He heard the first centuiy equivalent of the Springsteen son~, "This Is Your Hometown' ? I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that He did. What I do see, however, in reading of His experience in "going back. home," is His hometown's failure to recognize just Who it was that they had in their ranks for nearly 30 years. "Jesus ... went to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples. When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synago~ue, and many who heard Htm were amazed. 'Where did this man get these things?' they asked. 'What's this wisdom that has been given Him, that He even does miracles' Isn't this the carpenter? 14-15; Jeremiah 2:13). Or Pastor Thom Mollohan Isn't this Mary' s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren' t His sisters here with us?' Jesus said to them, 'Only in his hometown. among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor'" (Mark 6:1-4 NIV). What a shame! Here was a whole town of people who thought that they had Jesus figured out' A whole community who thought that they knew Jesus, but didn't really know Him at all. And in "dismissing" His divine identity, they were dismissing the very hope and -only source of hfe that each and every one of Nazareth's citizens so desperately needed. "He could not do any miracles there, exce~t lay His hands on a few stck people and heal them. And He was amazed (or He marveled) at their lack of faith" (Mark 6:~·6 NIV). A great many pedpie have taught a great many things about verse 5, saymg that · somehow God's power was curtailed by the hai'd hearts of the l;lCOP.le of Nazareth. But that 1sn t so. Refusing to recognize the glorious identity of Jesus' Person cannot in any way diminish His essence. What it DOES do, however, is tragically' limit what we could have otherwise hoped for in knowing Him. If we choose to riot that from Him flow hfe-giving waters, we'll not be able ·to quench our parched souls' thirst for somethin~ more than what this phystcal life alone can supply (John 4: 10, recowtze refusing to accept that He has the authority to forgive sin prevents us from having that cursed burden lifted from our shoulders, leaving us under the crushing weight of condemnation (Matthew 9:2, 5-6; John 8: I0-11; Romans 8: I). What miracles then couldn't He do in the little burg of Nazareth? Well, His power over the physical realm was Clearly unhiqdered for He was still fully capable of bringing healing to physical bodies (and did so for some). The people of Nazareth spiritual diseases, however, remained with them. The people's collective refusal to accept Jesus for Who He was closed their hearts to His power over their sick souls and the spiritual hunger that only He could satisfy. In fact, Matthew 13 says that they ''took offense at Him" (verse 57) and Mark 4 records that they not only were offended but just about "lynched" Him. And why? Because they didn't like the fact that this "carpenter'' forgot His place and was "meddling" with their personal lives. People don't like people who point out their depravity, especially if the people· pointing it out are their own peo~fe. We'll say thmgs like, "Just who does he think HE is anyway? Why that hypocrite I Where does HE get off tellinsl ME how tolive my life!" anCI 50 on. And how do. I know that the spiritual realm is where Jesus "couldn't" do His miracles in the lives of the Nazarenes? Because of what happens next in Mark 6. Jesus responds to this by leaving Nazl!feth and reaching out with the love of God to the neighboring villages by sending out His disciples with the message that "people should repent" (Mark 6: I 2). . Again, Jesus' essence cannot be diminished by lack of faith on your part or mine, but we are rendered "unreachable'; if we refuse to · climb down off of the pedestal of our pride or relinquish pur selfishness. Rejecting His right to our Uves as Lord or refusing to acknowledge the truth of His Word as applied to our lives (e.g., that we need to forsake sin and follow Him) leaves us shut out of the grace that He would lavish upon us if we would simply humble ourselves and tum to Hitn. Just think of the power ·that God could unleash in your life if you would tum wholeheartedly to Him and let Him into your heart! Such power can transform you, your family, your community, and your country! "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and tum from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV). We as a.people need miracles. We need the miracle of lives being changed from self-serving to serving God and others. We need the miracle of hearts being set free from hopelessness and despair, given instead a new destiny filled with purpose, peace and jo,Y. The fiiCt is that Ood Is wanting to do just that in our lives. The only thing He Is waiting on is for us to really start believe that He is Who He says He is, repent, and tum to Him.

Have you lost track of the important while chasing after the urgent? Have you found the time for everything? God gives us all the time we need, but it must be managed in God's way. Jesus explains how to set our time priorities: "I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or abQut your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ... your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew Loop Rd off New Liml Rd. Rutland , Servic:a: $1111 10:00 a.m. & 7:]() p.m ..

Matthew 5:8 We often hear the phrase: ·~ars of clay" used to refer to. our bodies as fragile vessels. This metaphor is often used to describe not only the fragility of our bodies, but also 1he fact thai we are crealed by God. The metaphor i!:i also apt lOr de.'ieribing huw our bodies contain a spirit or soul, and that the soul is our true essence, not the jars of cl!lY which represent our bodies. Our bodies will inevitably hrcak down and die. just a.~ jurs of clay will inevitably break. The jars of clay metaphor might also be used for describing the phenomenon of our bodies no1 being able to contain God's love, or even just love in geneml. We sometimes find ourselves overflowi ng with emotion: laughter and tears make us literally spasm odi~ with emotion, as our fragi le bodies !Anlggle 10 comain the emotion within us. But. there is something else we might add to our analogy, and that is that our bodies are vessels carrying our DNA. It might even he argued that our bodies are virtually nothing but vessels for carrying and tm.nsmin.in~ DNA, which regulates and guides all of our bodily proct:sscs. including the amazing fact thal when we damage our txxlies. in mos1 ca.o;es. our hodies can am mlly repair themselves. So while it's true Lhat our lxxlies an: like jan; of d LJy. they are really quite amazing in that they are self-regulating and combini ng their genclic • infonnation with others to create altogether new organisms.

The Dally Sentinel • Page A3 WORSIDP GOD THIS WEEK Forgiven4 Important vs. UfXent to perfotm There are three kinds of people in the world: those who CWJ make WJd keep track of lists WJd those who can't. OK. you can probably guess where I fit. I've tried to make lists and get myself orgWJized. I've had day plWJners, gone to time mWJagement seminars, tried computer calendar and tracking programs - but none of them have truly worked for me. I really wish I could use a planner better. If I could get the hang of it, I might be better at doing both the urgent stuff and the important stuff. As it is, the urgent tends to crowd out the important. I look into the kitchen and see a mess of dishes. They've got to be cleaned, and it's my job to clean .them. I also need to make some phone calls, make lesson plans for a Bible studr, prepare for next Sunday s worship service, write a couple of thank-you notes, send a get-well-soon card, visit someone at the hospital (in Columbus), etc . Every single one of those activities is important. But not all of them are. urgent. Can you guess which ones are left undone? The thankyou cards, the get-well c.ard - and the dishes. Then my wife comes into my study and asks me when am I going to take care of the kitchen? Oops! Suddenly the dishes become urgent and off I go. Before I know it, a week's gone by and I still have important things to do that did not get done. Then I'm hit with a further realization - what about the impor· tance oftime with God? My family? Did I let go of God and family to take care of urgent busywork? Big sigh. Yes. I'm guilty as cllarged. Beirig a pastor doesn't guarantee I've got a healthy well-balanced life. B11t ilie good news is that God doesn't expect me- or you -to do it on our own. Ancient words of wisdom are found in Ecclesiastes chapter 3: "There is a season for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a www.mydallysenUnel.com Presbyterian IIMT'IIoa.tle Plub)ltiiu Clllrdll Pastor: Rl)ben.Crow, W~ip- 9 a.m. ~-- Pastor: Jame11 Sa)'der, Sunday Sdtool 10 1.rn., wonhip ICI'Ykc II ua.

Today is Friday, July 27, the 208th day of 2007 . There are 15 7 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On July 27 , 1789, President Washington signed a measure establishing the Depanment of Foreign Affairs, forerunner of the Department of State . . On this date: In 1794, French revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre was overthrown and placed under arrest; he was executed the following day. In 1857, 150 years ago, Pueno Rican statesman and humanitarian Jose Celso Barbosa was born in Bayarnsn. In 1861 , Union Gen. George B. McClellan took command of the Army of the Potomac. In 1866, Cyrus W. Field finally succeeded, after two failures, in laying the first. underwater telegraph cable between North America and Europe. . In 1953, the Korean War armistice was signed at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting.· · In 1960, Vice President Richard Nixon was nominated for president at the Republican national convention in Chicago. In 1967, in the wake of urban rioting, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission to assess the causes of the violence, the same day black militant H. Rap Brown said in Washington that violence was "as American as cherry pie." In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 to recommend President Nixon's impeachment on a charge that he had personally engaged in a "course of conduct" designed to obstruct justice in the Watergate case. ' In 1980, on day 267 of the Iranian hostage crisis, the deposed Shah of Iran died at a military hospital outside Cairo, Egypt, at age 60. In \996, terror struck the Atlanta Olympics as a pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park, killing one person and injuring Ill. (Anti-government extremist Eric Rudolph later pleaded guilty to the bombing.) Ten years ago: United Auto Workers approved a deal to end a six-day strike at a General Motors parts plant that forced four assembly plant shutdowns and threatened GM's entire Nonh American production. Fiv~ years ago: A Ukrainian fighter jet crashed during an air show in Lviv, killing 77 people. John Ruiz retained the WBA heavyweight title in Las Vegas after his opponent, Kirk Johnson, was disqualified for hitting low blows. One year ago: Floyd Landis' stunning Tour de France victory just four days earlier was thrown into question when he tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race (Landis has denied cheating).

After all, one of the main characters in his syndicated comic ·strip "Kudzu" was the Rev. Will B. Dunn, a deep-fried Southern preacher who always remained optimistic, even as he battled with the insanity of modern life (especiall y trendy Bible translations). Meanwhile, · Marlette's political cartoons often inspired readers to barrage editors with the kind of God talk that cannot be printed in family newspapers. There was, for example, his caricature of Pope John Paul II wearing a "No Women Priests" button. The caption said, "Upon this Ro·ck I will build my church," and Marlene drew an arrow pointing at the pope's head. Another infamous cartoon showed an Arab terrorist driving a truck containing a nuclear bomb. The caption: "What Would Mohammed Drive?" A cartoon on my office wall - a gift from Marlette as I left the Charlotte Observer shows PTL televangelist Jim Bakker kneeling before a dollar sign that towers over a stone altl!f framed with candles. Bakker pro-claims, with his boyish grin. "Gimme that old time religion!" The cartoonist knew he was playing with holy Terry ~aHingly fire. You can't draw Jesus climbing Calvary on Good Friday - carrying an electric chair - and not expect people to react. Marlette insisted that his goal was to remi nd his fellow believers to practice what they preach. '"As I look' back through . my work, I'm always amazed by how much of what I do just comes out of having gone to Sunday ··school," he said, taking a break in .his cluttered Observer office in the mid1980s. "The perspective, the viewpoint, comes out of that. They don't teach s ub~ versive ideas in the Magnolia Street Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi." Marlette, 57, was back in Mississippi recently when he died in a single-vehicle crash on a rain-swept highway while on the way to help a high school perform his musical, "Kudzu." A true gadfly, he rattled cages for more than three decades and died with more than his share of faithful friends and fierce critics. A native of Nonh Carolina, the cartoonist and writer burst into print after stvdyi n$ at Florida State University, whe~ he tried to study 'art but ended up majoring in philosophy. He took classes in New Testament and ethics but also, as he loved to note, classes in spons officiating. Marlette won a Pulitzer Pri ze in 1988 for his wolt at the Observer and the Atlanta Constitution. He wrote two novels and, in 200 I , became a di stinguished visiting professor of journalism at the University of Nonh Carolina at Chapel Hill . Marlette had a better grasp of the power of religion than most journalists, noted former Observer editor Rich Oppel , who Jed the newsroom during the PTL era. The canoonist was a provocateur and, at his best, a prophet. "After I0 years of our reponing, televangelist Bakker resigned from PTL and was later convicted of fraud and sentenced to federal prison," noted Oppel , in hi s editor 's column at the Austin . AmericanStatesman. "Bakker's handpicked successor was Jerry Falwell, who came in to see me and 'make peace. "' . From a .corner, Marlette cast a gimlet eye on Falwell as the minister did his best Sunday-school number on me. Marlette then retreated to his lair to pen a cartoon of the preacher as a serpent in the Garden of Eden. . "Falwell refused to talk to me again." When it canw to religion, Marlene thou~ht of himself as .a Baptist s Baptist, a fi erce believer m the '" priesthood ofthe believer," the . authority of ,human experience and the separation of church and state. There are, he told me, people who become cynical about religion, and he was determined not to yield to that temptation - very often. But there were many times when he preferred laughing instead of crying·. While he , took the Christian faith seriouslx. he also thought it was futile to obsess over details. There were times when he felt like a cl:urch of one. "It's my own church, my own perspective. It certainly doesn 'i deserve to be institutionalized or taken more seriously than other people's," said Marlette. "It's not infallible. It's skewed. It's mine.... It's kind of like dissecting a frog. Once you get,the thing cut up and taken apart, it's not really a frog anymore. Something dies in the process." (Terry Mattingly is director of the Washington Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and leads the GetReligion.org project to study religion and the news.)

To many Americans, the question "Should we bomb Iran ?" will sound like a proposal that only a raving ·lunatic would raise. In recent years, as a nation, we have drifted ever closer to pacifi sm. The invasion of Iraq is regarded by many as simply the latest and most egregious example of what many people , here and abroad, consider America' s deplorable tendency to barge around the world, using our armed forces to intervene in all sorts of foreign controversies that are essentially none of our business. This view, us I say, I S rapidly gaining suppon in the United States, but it is wildly at variance with our history. From the Marines' attacks on the pirates of Tripoli earl y in the 19th century to the toppling of the Spanish coloni al reg1mes in Cuba and the Philippines a century later, this country has seldom hesitated to use its milit ary power to pJ!nish forei gn misbehavior and topple various despotic regimes we disliked. But m recent years. beginning with the venture in Vietnam. foreign depl oyments of American power, especially if they in volved the los,s of American li ves, have become sticks with which to beat incumbent presidents William Rusher of both parties and are fast losing popularity. That is why the problem of Iran is so acute . Here is a nation in the grip of a bunch of despotic theocrats who all but openly proclaim their intention to acquire the capability to build nuclear weapons, and whose president has casually indicated their intention to wipe Israel off the map. If they attain nuclear capability, there is no doubt whatever that the other midsized nations m the re gicm (Egypt. Saudi Arabia and Jordan, just for starters) will insist on doing likewise. There is little doubt that they have, or rea~ il y can acqui re , a si milar ability. Thereafter, it will be only a matter of a fe w years be fore a dozen other regimes - in Asia. Africa and South America - will foll ow suit. From then on, we will all be li ving in a de sperately precari ous nuclear world. To .take just one example. if (in such a . world ) a nuclear weapon were smuggled into New York or Washington and detonated, against whom would we retaliate? That is a scenario that the United States and the other nations currently possessing nuclear weapons have struggled de sperately to avoid ever since the end of World War II .· By threats and jaw-boning, and the Nuclear Non, Proliferation Treaty, they have thus far managed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons much beyond their own small number. (India and Pakistan are the two glaring except ions. ) When Iraq 's Saddam Hussein managed to build a nuclear reactor ne ar Baghdad, believed capable · of producing nuclear weapons, Israeli pl anes destroyed it in 1981. There was a certain amount of international tsk-tsking, but basically the move was understood and condoned by the world community. But could, or should, the United States undenake a similar m1ss1on today against Iran? There would almost certainl y be an enormous uproar, both here and abroad. A president who ordered such a stri ke might very possibly face impeachment. It IS sometimes argued that Iran 's nuclear-weapon facilities are so widespread and so deepl y buried (or otherwise defended) that a series of American air strikes simply couldn't knock them out, as Israel knocked out Iraq's a quarter of a century ago. But that, it seems to me, is essentially a deft cop-out. We could certamly do enough damage to cripple them for years, and discourage Iran from trying to rebuild them. Yes, there would be huge diplomatic repercussions, perhaps above all among the Iranians themselves, many of whom truly like the United States. But the alternative - a nuclear-armed world - ·would be almost unspeakably grim. I belong to an earlier generation of Americans for whom the answer to the question would (in most cases) be obvious: Yes, bomb Iran, if it won't stop it s quest for nuclear weapons. But is that the consensus in America today? I seriously doubt it. We have shrunk into a nation , more vinuous, perhaps, but simply incapable of robust self-defense. We have here another example of Emerson's priceless formulation: "' What wilt thou have?' quoth God ; ' pay for it and take it.

Since then, Musser said Ervin has made no improvements and the Meigs County Health Department has deemed the house a health hazard. Ervin claims the house is structurally sound, not a safety hazard and has no holes in the roof and therefore does not meet the criteria for being condemned for demolition . Ervin ·also claims he wasn't notified by mail about the condemnation and that the house i-!; being unfairly singl~d· out, citing other structures in the village he •feels are in worse shape with no one willing to repair them like he says he's willing to restore the home on Lincoln Heights. Ervin repeatedly referred to these dila~idated struc· tures in the vtllag~ and the neglect of their owners in comparison to his own situation and condemned property. Councilman Shawn Amott, who said he admired Ervin's determination, then ·asked: "Why does somebod~ else·~ bad behavior justtfy yoursr· Ervin then began discussing what he felt were proper procedures when it came to .identifying the structural integrity of the house and the r.rocedures of village council, saying he assumed "common sense would prevail" in the situation. He also took issue with the village exceeding the insurance money for demolition and "dipping into the public coffers' to remove the asbestos. · Ervin offered to tear down any of those other dilapidated and condemned structures for a cost of up to $5,000 but council did not. rescind their votes. Senators want to avoid a digital 'train wreck' in 'IV transition •<f'-~ BY JOHN DUNBAR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - On Feb. 18, 2009, tens of millions of televisions that are not equipped to ·receive digital signals will become useless pieces of furniture. The government is spending $5 million to let owners know so they can do something about it - not enough, critics say. While the government has committed $1.5 billion for viewers to spend on convener boxes that will translate digital signals for older televisions, it is largely' relying on the broadcast industry to spread the word about the changeover. Jehn Kneuer, chief of the federal a$ency tasked with ensuring a smoqth dtgital transition, told the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday that the government will be leaning heavily on broadcasters. "It's not only their own responsibility, it's in their own interest," said Kneuer, assistant secretary in the Commerce Department and administrator of the National Telecommunications Infonnation Administration. Some committee members were clearly worried. Apoll released in January by tlie Association of Public Television Stations indicated 6! percent of respondeqts had "no idea" that the digital transition was going to take place. There is a "high potential for a train wreck here," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. A 2005 repon by the Government Accountability Office said 21 million households - roughly 19 percent of the n;ltion - rely on an antenna rather than cable or satellite to receive television signals. , l'he digital transition, once complete, will lead to clearer sound and a sharper picture for television watchers. BY ANDREW TAYL~R ASSOCIA.TED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The Senate passed the frrst of 12 SJ?Cnding bills on Thursday mght, smashing Pre~ident Bush's budget for border control and other homeland security (Jrograms. The $40.6 billion measure passed by an overwhelming 89-4 vote, as Bush's GOP allies joined with Democrats to flout his veto threat. The already popular bill became more so with the addition of $3 billion above budget caps set , by both Bush and Senate Democratic leaders to secure the U.S-Mexico border and seek out immigrants who have overstayed their visas. The bill also greatly exceeds Bush's request for homeland security grants to state and local governments for improving disaster planning and training, interoperable radio equipment, and paying for new frre and rescue equipment. Senate action came as Republicans and the White House stepped up attacks on worker. In the matter of personnel, the resignation of Abigail Cauthorn as an English teacher at Meigs High School was accepted, Teresa L. Williams was hired as social studies teacher . at Meigs High, Ellora Patterson was employed as a part-time cook at Meigs Elementary, and Karla Brown's employment contract as special education coordinator was changed to reflect an 11month contract on the same salary schedule as the elementary principals. The board also reemployed Danny Thomas, Rusty Bookman and Marilyn Meier to supervise the physical education PEP · program with funding from a grant.

"These consumers will be confused, frustrated and angry that this important information and entenainment source in their home is no longer operational, through no fault of tlleir own," said Nelda Barnett, a member of the board of the directers of the 39-million-member AARP. After the frrst of the year, the govemment will be making available to each household two coupons worth $40 each that can be used to buy two convener boxes. Congress has set aside $1.5 billion to pay for the coupon program. Initially, $990 million will be used to pay for coupons and cover administrative costs, which are capped at $110 million. An additional $510 million may be allocated, but those coupons are reserved for households that have only over-the-air television. Three manufacturers have committed to making the new converter boxes. LG Electronics USA estimates retailers will sell the company's converter box for about $60 beginning sometime early next year. The government expects the boxes will be sold by the nation's major electronics retail chains. A new antenna is not required to receive a digital signal. .The transition has already begnn in some key areas. Cathy Seidel, chief of the Consumer and Goverrunental Affairs Bureau at the Federal Communications Commission, said that as of March I all television receivers shipped in the U.S. . were required to have digital tuners. In A_pril, the agency required retailers to di§Ciose to ,consumers that televisions that can only receive analog signals are not equipped to receive overthe-air signals beyond Feb. 17, 2009. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., is concerned that consumers who don't get the word will take it out on their elected representatives. "They're not §Oing to call you," she told Kneuer. 'They're going to call me. And they' re going to be mad." Dennis Wharton, a spokesman for the National Association of Broadcasters, said television station owners are highly motivated to get the word out. "Our very business is at stake here," he said. Wharton said station' will begin airing public service announcements worth "tens of millions of dollars" be~inning in December. ' Broadcasters will do our dead-level best to educate Americans on this transition," he said. The digital transition · is a bit more complicated when it comes to cable television. Digital cable subscribers with analog televisions need not worry. The digital box acts as a "down-converter." · But analog cable subscribers who do not have a digital cable box will either be supplied with a box by their cable company or their signal will be convened at the "head end," the source of the signal. ; Re~ardless, the industry has protru~d there will be no interruption m servtce. "Cable companies have committed that customers will be able to view the si~nals even if they have analog TVs," srud Brian Dietz, vice president in charge of communications for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association. Satellite television subscribers will be unaffected. Seriate breaks Bush's budget in homeland security bill, adds money for controlling border retain the benefit of his experience in the district."

"Here we are almost in August and we've only passed one" appropriations bill, griped Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "We're looking at a potential train · wreck in September." " In fact, Republicans brought only two spending bills to the floor all of last year when they controlled the Senate. Their performance two years ago was considerably better, however. The border security money was broken out of Bush's immigration overhaul bill, which failed last month. The money would go toward seizing "operational control" over the U.S.-Mexico border with additional Border Patrol agents, vehicle barriers, border fencing and observ.ation towers, plus a crackdown on people who overstay their visas. But its addition to the bill seemed to guarantee that Cullums and Eddie Fife, Jr., Middle School football; Chris Shank, 7th grade boys basketball, and Chuck Knopp, eighth grdde boys basketball. Attending the meeting were Buckley, Rhonemus, and board members, Victor Young,.Scott Walton, Roger Abbott, and Ron Logan. Bush will need to either drop his veto threat on the underlying bill - which already exceeded' his budget by $2.3 billion - or have his vetoes overturned. Earlier, House lawmakers approved legislation to · increase funding for space and science programs, local crime fighters and the FBI. ·The $53.8 billion measure funding the departments of Commerce and Justice passed the House by a 281142 vote, just enough to sustain a veto. But the tally belied the widespread support for programs financed by the sprawling measure, including anti-crime grants for states and local governments, the administration's "competitiveness initiative" boosting basic science research and teaching, as well as the FBI and antidrug programs. Bush has threatened v vetoes or signaled veto threats against nine of the 12 annual spending bills for the budget year beginning Oct. I ; all but two of those threats involve spending levels that exceed the budget the administration proposed in February. The differences between Bush and Congress involve $23 billion in funding added by lawmakers to the president's $433 billion request for non-defense programs about a 5 percent increase - as well as $3.5 billion shifted by Democrats from the Pentagon lo domestic programs. In many cases, the Democratic add-ons restore cuts Bush sought. In prior years, GOP-controlled congresses denied many of the same cuts. ~¥-N Ct!.p , .to ~a -t· i- "' f v 0 \ ..:;;:..

After all, one of the main characters in his syndicated comic ·strip "Kudzu" was the Rev. Will B. Dunn, a deep-fried Southern preacher who always remained optimistic, even as he battled with the insanity of modern life (especiall y trendy Bible translations). Meanwhile, · Marlette's political cartoons often inspired readers to barrage editors with the kind of God talk that cannot be printed in family newspapers. There was, for example, his caricature of Pope John Paul II wearing a "No Women Priests" button. The caption said, "Upon this Ro·ck I will build my church," and Marlene drew an arrow pointing at the pope's head. Another infamous cartoon showed an Arab terrorist driving a truck containing a nuclear bomb. The caption: "What Would Mohammed Drive?" A cartoon on my office wall - a gift from Marlette as I left the Charlotte Observer shows PTL televangelist Jim Bakker kneeling before a dollar sign that towers over a stone altl!f framed with candles. Bakker pro-claims, with his boyish grin. "Gimme that old time religion!" The cartoonist knew he was playing with holy Terry ~aHingly fire. You can't draw Jesus climbing Calvary on Good Friday - carrying an electric chair - and not expect people to react. Marlette insisted that his goal was to remi nd his fellow believers to practice what they preach. '"As I look' back through . my work, I'm always amazed by how much of what I do just comes out of having gone to Sunday ··school," he said, taking a break in .his cluttered Observer office in the mid1980s. "The perspective, the viewpoint, comes out of that. They don't teach s ub~ versive ideas in the Magnolia Street Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi." Marlette, 57, was back in Mississippi recently when he died in a single-vehicle crash on a rain-swept highway while on the way to help a high school perform his musical, "Kudzu." A true gadfly, he rattled cages for more than three decades and died with more than his share of faithful friends and fierce critics. A native of Nonh Carolina, the cartoonist and writer burst into print after stvdyi n$ at Florida State University, whe~ he tried to study 'art but ended up majoring in philosophy. He took classes in New Testament and ethics but also, as he loved to note, classes in spons officiating. Marlette won a Pulitzer Pri ze in 1988 for his wolt at the Observer and the Atlanta Constitution. He wrote two novels and, in 200 I , became a di stinguished visiting professor of journalism at the University of Nonh Carolina at Chapel Hill . Marlette had a better grasp of the power of religion than most journalists, noted former Observer editor Rich Oppel , who Jed the newsroom during the PTL era. The canoonist was a provocateur and, at his best, a prophet. "After I0 years of our reponing, televangelist Bakker resigned from PTL and was later convicted of fraud and sentenced to federal prison," noted Oppel , in hi s editor 's column at the Austin . AmericanStatesman. "Bakker's handpicked successor was Jerry Falwell, who came in to see me and 'make peace. "' . From a .corner, Marlette cast a gimlet eye on Falwell as the minister did his best Sunday-school number on me. Marlette then retreated to his lair to pen a cartoon of the preacher as a serpent in the Garden of Eden. . "Falwell refused to talk to me again." When it canw to religion, Marlene thou~ht of himself as .a Baptist s Baptist, a fi erce believer m the '" priesthood ofthe believer," the . authority of ,human experience and the separation of church and state. There are, he told me, people who become cynical about religion, and he was determined not to yield to that temptation - very often. But there were many times when he preferred laughing instead of crying·. While he , took the Christian faith seriouslx. he also thought it was futile to obsess over details. There were times when he felt like a cl:urch of one. "It's my own church, my own perspective. It certainly doesn 'i deserve to be institutionalized or taken more seriously than other people's," said Marlette. "It's not infallible. It's skewed. It's mine.... It's kind of like dissecting a frog. Once you get,the thing cut up and taken apart, it's not really a frog anymore. Something dies in the process."

To many Americans, the question "Should we bomb Iran ?" will sound like a proposal that only a raving ·lunatic would raise. In recent years, as a nation, we have drifted ever closer to pacifi sm. The invasion of Iraq is regarded by many as simply the latest and most egregious example of what many people , here and abroad, consider America' s deplorable tendency to barge around the world, using our armed forces to intervene in all sorts of foreign controversies that are essentially none of our business. This view, us I say, I S rapidly gaining suppon in the United States, but it is wildly at variance with our history. From the Marines' attacks on the pirates of Tripoli earl y in the 19th century to the toppling of the Spanish coloni al reg1mes in Cuba and the Philippines a century later, this country has seldom hesitated to use its milit ary power to pJ!nish forei gn misbehavior and topple various despotic regimes we disliked. But m recent years. beginning with the venture in Vietnam. foreign depl oyments of American power, especially if they in volved the los,s of American li ves, have become sticks with which to beat incumbent presidents William Rusher of both parties and are fast losing popularity. That is why the problem of Iran is so acute . Here is a nation in the grip of a bunch of despotic theocrats who all but openly proclaim their intention to acquire the capability to build nuclear weapons, and whose president has casually indicated their intention to wipe Israel off the map. If they attain nuclear capability, there is no doubt whatever that the other midsized nations m the re gicm (Egypt. Saudi Arabia and Jordan, just for starters) will insist on doing likewise. There is little doubt that they have, or rea~ il y can acqui re , a si milar ability. Thereafter, it will be only a matter of a fe w years be fore a dozen other regimes - in Asia. Africa and South America - will foll ow suit. From then on, we will all be li ving in a de sperately precari ous nuclear world. To .take just one example. if (in such a . world ) a nuclear weapon were smuggled into New York or Washington and detonated, against whom would we retaliate? That is a scenario that the United States and the other nations currently possessing nuclear weapons have struggled de sperately to avoid ever since the end of World War II .· By threats and jaw-boning, and the Nuclear Non, Proliferation Treaty, they have thus far managed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons much beyond their own small number. (India and Pakistan are the two glaring except ions. ) When Iraq 's Saddam Hussein managed to build a nuclear reactor ne ar Baghdad, believed capable · of producing nuclear weapons, Israeli pl anes destroyed it in 1981. There was a certain amount of international tsk-tsking, but basically the move was understood and condoned by the world community. But could, or should, the United States undenake a similar m1ss1on today against Iran? There would almost certainl y be an enormous uproar, both here and abroad. A president who ordered such a stri ke might very possibly face impeachment. It IS sometimes argued that Iran 's nuclear-weapon facilities are so widespread and so deepl y buried (or otherwise defended) that a series of American air strikes simply couldn't knock them out, as Israel knocked out Iraq's a quarter of a century ago. But that, it seems to me, is essentially a deft cop-out. We could certamly do enough damage to cripple them for years, and discourage Iran from trying to rebuild them. Yes, there would be huge diplomatic repercussions, perhaps above all among the Iranians themselves, many of whom truly like the United States. But the alternative - a nuclear-armed world - ·would be almost unspeakably grim. I belong to an earlier generation of Americans for whom the answer to the question would (in most cases) be obvious: Yes, bomb Iran, if it won't stop it s quest for nuclear weapons. But is that the consensus in America today? I seriously doubt it. We have shrunk into a nation , more vinuous, perhaps, but simply incapable of robust self-defense. We have here another example of Emerson's priceless formulation: "' What wilt thou have?' quoth God ; ' pay for it and take it.

Senators want to avoid a digital 'train wreck' in 'IV transition •<f'-~ BY JOHN DUNBAR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - On Feb. 18, 2009, tens of millions of televisions that are not equipped to ·receive digital signals will become useless pieces of furniture. The government is spending $5 million to let owners know so they can do something about it - not enough, critics say. While the government has committed $1.5 billion for viewers to spend on convener boxes that will translate digital signals for older televisions, it is largely' relying on the broadcast industry to spread the word about the changeover. Jehn Kneuer, chief of the federal a$ency tasked with ensuring a smoqth dtgital transition, told the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday that the government will be leaning heavily on broadcasters. "It's not only their own responsibility, it's in their own interest," said Kneuer, assistant secretary in the Commerce Department and administrator of the National Telecommunications Infonnation Administration. Some committee members were clearly worried. Apoll released in January by tlie Association of Public Television Stations indicated 6! percent of respondeqts had "no idea" that the digital transition was going to take place. There is a "high potential for a train wreck here," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. A 2005 repon by the Government Accountability Office said 21 million households - roughly 19 percent of the n;ltion - rely on an antenna rather than cable or satellite to receive television signals. , l'he digital transition, once complete, will lead to clearer sound and a sharper picture for television watchers. BY ANDREW TAYL~R ASSOCIA.TED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The Senate passed the frrst of 12 SJ?Cnding bills on Thursday mght, smashing Pre~ident Bush's budget for border control and other homeland security (Jrograms. The $40.6 billion measure passed by an overwhelming 89-4 vote, as Bush's GOP allies joined with Democrats to flout his veto threat. The already popular bill became more so with the addition of $3 billion above budget caps set , by both Bush and Senate Democratic leaders to secure the U.S-Mexico border and seek out immigrants who have overstayed their visas. The bill also greatly exceeds Bush's request for homeland security grants to state and local governments for improving disaster planning and training, interoperable radio equipment, and paying for new frre and rescue equipment. Senate action came as Republicans and the White House stepped up attacks on worker. In the matter of personnel, the resignation of Abigail Cauthorn as an English teacher at Meigs High School was accepted, Teresa L. Williams was hired as social studies teacher . at Meigs High, Ellora Patterson was employed as a part-time cook at Meigs Elementary, and Karla Brown's employment contract as special education coordinator was changed to reflect an 11month contract on the same salary schedule as the elementary principals. The board also reemployed Danny Thomas, Rusty Bookman and Marilyn Meier to supervise the physical education PEP · program with funding from a grant.

"These consumers will be confused, frustrated and angry that this important information and entenainment source in their home is no longer operational, through no fault of tlleir own," said Nelda Barnett, a member of the board of the directers of the 39-million-member AARP. After the frrst of the year, the govemment will be making available to each household two coupons worth $40 each that can be used to buy two convener boxes. Congress has set aside $1.5 billion to pay for the coupon program. Initially, $990 million will be used to pay for coupons and cover administrative costs, which are capped at $110 million. An additional $510 million may be allocated, but those coupons are reserved for households that have only over-the-air television. Three manufacturers have committed to making the new converter boxes. LG Electronics USA estimates retailers will sell the company's converter box for about $60 beginning sometime early next year.

' ' The Daily Sentinel NATION • WO.RLD AP INTERVIEW ll--·-- 1- I I .I ll BY ROBERT BURNS fol' MILITARY WRITER BAGHDAD - The top U.S. general and diplomat in Iraq warned on Thursday against cutting short the Ainerican troop buildup and suggested they would urge Congress in September to give President Bush's strategy more time. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus, in separate Associated Press interviews at their offices in the U.S. Embassy on the banks of the Tigris, we~ careful not to define a tirneframe for continuing the counterinsur: gency strategy - and the higher U.S. troop levels that began six months ago. Still, Petraeus' comments signaled that he would like to see a substantial U.S. combat force remain on its current course well into 2008 and pedlaps beyond. He said that a drawdown from today's level of 160,000 U.S. troops is coming but he would not say when. Petraeus said he and his top deputy, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, are working on how to carry out a reduction in the extra troups Bush ordered to Baghdad and to Anbar province. He said the drawdown would be done "over time, without undermltJine what we've fought to achieve." ''There is a lot more that we certainly will try to do," Petraeus said. With the American public's patience wearing thin, many in Congress are pressing for a troop reduction soon. Bush has resisted, saying he is waiting to receive the advice of Petraeus and Crocker in September. Pressed repeatedly on when he thought troop levels could be reduced and other U.S. involvement scaled back, Crocker said: "It's going to take longer than Se.ptember." He S81d he saw his mission as ensuring "we're all looking at reality. I don't thinkany service 1s done either in Iraq or. the U.S. by saying, agam, 'It's going to be OK by November.' This is hard. There is tremendous damage · that's been doue physicalfr. politically, socially and it s -going to take time to repair." llP plloto Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander In Iraq Is Interviewed by The Associated Press in Baghdad, Thursday. U.S. military officers have said in recent mterviews that while troop levels should be determined as conditions evolve, they see little reason to remove the full 30,000 U.S. troop buildup before next summer. Some say they can foresee beginning some reductions by summer or earlier. Petraeus said he would make his case in September, when he and Crocker are due to report to Congress on military and political progress and on their recommendations for the future. He said the troop buildup has clearly es.tablislled "tactical momentum," meaning its more aggressive efforts to secure volatile neighborhoods in Baghdad and areas around the capital are succeeding. The bigger issue is whether those gains will lead to a stabiliry that can be sustained over time. ''The surge enables .us to tum the tide just a bit in key places," the four-star general said in an hour-long interview. Asked what more the U.S . military needs to accomplish to put Iraq on a stead- ier track, Petraeus ticked of a list that included further· ing the training and equippinj!: of lragi security forces, which are mtended to gradually take over for U.S. forces, beginning in areas where security and political conditions allow. "We want to make much more progress against alQaida. We would like to build on the early niOmentum from local groups rejecting ai-Qaida and militias," Petraeus said. We want to cehainly not just sit on the violence iii Baghdad neighborhoods and stabilize it but to create a way ahead that can be sustained by the Iraqis over time. We want to, where possible, frankly, to continue the process of handing off to Iraqis." Crocker spoke more directly of his conviction that the current strategy should be maintained - and about his concern that if the United States were to withdraw now Iraq would be plunged into a humanitarian disaster. "It is not as though we can simply decide that we do not want to be involved anymore and the movie comes - to an end," he said. ''The movie will keep on rolling in Iraq and in the region whether we're here or not. "I, for one, as someone who has spent decades in the Middle East, am deep! y concertled about what could happen if we decide based on reasons other than conditions on the ground in Iraq that we simply don't want to be involved anymore." He said the consequence could be inroads by the alQaida terrorist network, a consolidation of Iranian influence in Iraq, intervention by Thrkey and other nei~­ boling states, and a "mass•ve human catastrophe." Sprinkled throughout his remarks were references to a need for patience in seeing Iraq through its current crisis. ''there are no easy, quick, magic answers at this stage," he said. Petraeus, who. was installed as the top U.S. commander here in February as the troop buildup got under way, underscored his belief that the extra troops have produced the intended benefit of reducing sectarian murders, encouraging more Iraqis to help U.S. forces and squeezing extremist groups. "Once you get the locals recognizing that you are going to he there a while, they then tell you" where insurgent (orces are hiding, where they have placed roadside bombs and where they store weapons, he said. The problem, at this stage, is that these developments have not led the government of Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki to push through key legislative measures and to move toward political reconciliation between the majority Shiites, the Kurds and the Sunnis who lost power · when Saddam Hussein was toppled. Petraeus said he believed the Sunnis beginning to see their future in a different, more positive light. They have "gotten a little bit past the point where they were .the last few years, which was one of feeling disrespected, dispossessed, disappointed, disgusted, · distressed, you name it, at their loss of power," he said.

N' AEROSPACE WRITER CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - America's space agency was shaken Thursday by two startling and unrelated reports: One involved claims that astronauts were drunk before flying. The other was news from NASA itself that a worker had sabotaged a comp\lter set for delivery to the international space station. . It was just another jolt for an operation that has had a rocky year from the start, beginning with the arrest of an astronaut accused of attacking a rival . in a love trian~le. "Its going to shake up the world, I'll leU you that," retired NASA executive seymour Himmel said of the latest news. 'There will be congressional hearings that you will not be able to avoid." News of the two latest bombshells broke within just a few hours of each other Thursday afternoon. Aviation Week & Space Technology reported on its Web site that a special panel studying astronaut health found that on two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a safety risk. The independent panel also found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch U<ithin the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule, the magazine reported. A NASA official confinned the report contains such details, but said they were from anonymous interviews and not substantiated. The official asked that his name not be used because NASA will discuss the health report on Friday. . The Aviation Week story did not say how long ago the alleged incidents took place, nor did it say whether 11 involved pilots or other crew members. At a news conference to discuss the upcoming space shuttle launch set for Aug. 7, NASA's space operations chief was asked repeatedly about the drunken astronaut report. The manager, Bill · Gerstenmaier, would only say that he had never seen an intoxicated - astronaut before flight or been involved in any disciplinary action related to that. But Gerstenmaier had more news. He revealed that an employee for a NASA subcontractor had cut the wires in a computer that was about to be loaded into the · shuttle Endeavour for launch. The subcontractor, which he wouldn't name, contacted NASA I 1/2 weeks ago, as soon as it learned that another -computer had been damaged deliberately, Gerstenmaier said. Had the contractor not discovered the problem, NASA would have uncovered it by testing the computer before launch, .Gerstenmaier said. Safety was not an issue, he added. He refused· to speculate on the worker's motive. He also wouldn't say where the sabotage occurred. He said it did not happen in Florida and had nothing to do with an ongoing strike at the Kennedy Space Center by a machinists' union. NASA hopes to fix the computer in time for launch next month. It's intended to be installed inside the space station to collect data from strain gauges on a major outside beam. Former shuttle commander · Eileen Collins was as stunned as anyone to learn of the astronaut alcohol claims in the upcoming health report. "I'm anxious to hear more details because 'this is very · out of character from anything I have ever experienced," she said. Collins worries this will hurt the image of•the astrOnauts, at least in the short term. "I hope people can really look at the good things astronauts do," she said. Astronaut Jeffrey Williams, who spent six months on the space station last year, said he's never seen or heard of anything like this. As for the effect this may have ·on astronaut morale, especially so close to a shuttle flight, he said,.. "We're trained to deal with thingg so we deal with them without much emotion." Himmel, who retired in 1981 as associate direCtor for what is now .Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, wasn't surprised to learn the information was anonymous. "Let's face it. Astronauts are a bunch of brothers and sisters, OK, and they'll cover each . other's backsides because they're . part . of. the team," he said. "And who knows what the role of the particular ones was to be. If he was just to sit in the middle seat somewhere and just be a r,assenger, you kind of say, Well, gee, I hope he doesn't vomit on the way up."' The independent panel reviewing astronaut health and NASA's psychological screening process was created following the arrest in February of former space shuttle flier Lisa Nowak. None of the panel members returned phone calls or emails from The Associated Press. Nowak is accused of attacking the girlfriend of a fellow astronaut - her romantic rival - with pepper spray in a parking lot at Orlando International Airport. Fired by NASA in March, she has pleaded not guilty to charge~ of attempted kidnapping, bitnery and burglary with assault. The scandal was followed by a freak hailstorm that tore into a space shuttle on the launch pad that set back the year's flight schedule. Then there was a shooting at Johnson Space Center in Houston by an employee who ultimately killed h1mself. \ ANNIE'S MAILBOX .Hope this absurd situation ends soor~: BY KATMY MITCHEU.

Friday, July 27, 2007 Foundation announces Wayne F. White Scholarship winners NELSONVILLE - The $500 .Wayne F. White Scholarships were recently awarded to eight high school graduates through the Nelsonville-based Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. "I was excited to receive (the Wayne F. White Scholarship) because it is going to help me a lot in the future," said Caitlin Heiss, 17, of Beverly, Ohio. "I am looking forward to getting involved in campus activities and in my program of study." In the fall, the Washington County native will attend Bluffton University in Bluffton, Ohio, to study dietetics, as well as food and nutrition. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. (Jewell) Evans made the initial gift of $25,000 to establish this memorial scholarship in order to honor Wayne F. White. Bob Evans, the nationally-recognized restaurateur and philanthropist, was a long-time friend of White and an early supporter of Ohio Appalachian Center for H1gher Education (OACHE) - a consortium of public colleges and universities within Appalachia that works to make higher education accessible. Staci Armbrust, 18, of Philo, Ohio also was awarded the scholarship. She will attend Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio, to study respiratory therapy and health managemen!. "I was shocked when I found out I received the scholarship," said Armbrust. "I am really excited to be able to start my future, meet new people, become more indepen- dent and learn about my area of study." The scholarship was created to honor Wayne F. White's memory and legacy by his friends, family and countless others who took joy in his life and accomplishments. During his lifetime, he was universally loved and respected as a homegrown, nationally recognized champion and friend of higher education throughout Appalachian Ohio and beyond. White was dedicated to helping others. A respected educator for more than four decades, White worked to change the landscape of education in Appalachian Ohio, fighting for equal funding for rural schools and encouraging young people and adults to pursue higher education. The other Wayne White scholarship recipients were: Ashley Tyree and Michael Milton of Lawrence County; Kasee Merritt of .Ross County; Teri Day and Devan VanWey of Muskingum County; and Hunter Lemley of Washington County.

' ' The Daily Sentinel NATION • WO.RLD AP INTERVIEW ll--·-- 1- I I .I ll BY ROBERT BURNS fol' MILITARY WRITER BAGHDAD - The top U.S. general and diplomat in Iraq warned on Thursday against cutting short the Ainerican troop buildup and suggested they would urge Congress in September to give President Bush's strategy more time. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus, in separate Associated Press interviews at their offices in the U.S. Embassy on the banks of the Tigris, we~ careful not to define a tirneframe for continuing the counterinsur: gency strategy - and the higher U.S. troop levels that began six months ago. Still, Petraeus' comments signaled that he would like to see a substantial U.S. combat force remain on its current course well into 2008 and pedlaps beyond. He said that a drawdown from today's level of 160,000 U.S. troops is coming but he would not say when. Petraeus said he and his top deputy, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, are working on how to carry out a reduction in the extra troups Bush ordered to Baghdad and to Anbar province. He said the drawdown would be done "over time, without undermltJine what we've fought to achieve." ''There is a lot more that we certainly will try to do," Petraeus said. With the American public's patience wearing thin, many in Congress are pressing for a troop reduction soon. Bush has resisted, saying he is waiting to receive the advice of Petraeus and Crocker in September. Pressed repeatedly on when he thought troop levels could be reduced and other U.S. involvement scaled back, Crocker said: "It's going to take longer than Se.ptember." He S81d he saw his mission as ensuring "we're all looking at reality. I don't thinkany service 1s done either in Iraq or. the U.S. by saying, agam, 'It's going to be OK by November.' This is hard. There is tremendous damage · that's been doue physicalfr. politically, socially and it s -going to take time to repair." llP plloto Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander In Iraq Is Interviewed by The Associated Press in Baghdad, Thursday. U.S. military officers have said in recent mterviews that while troop levels should be determined as conditions evolve, they see little reason to remove the full 30,000 U.S. troop buildup before next summer. Some say they can foresee beginning some reductions by summer or earlier. Petraeus said he would make his case in September, when he and Crocker are due to report to Congress on military and political progress and on their recommendations for the future. He said the troop buildup has clearly es.tablislled "tactical momentum," meaning its more aggressive efforts to secure volatile neighborhoods in Baghdad and areas around the capital are succeeding. The bigger issue is whether those gains will lead to a stabiliry that can be sustained over time. ''The surge enables .us to tum the tide just a bit in key places," the four-star general said in an hour-long interview. Asked what more the U.S . military needs to accomplish to put Iraq on a stead- ier track, Petraeus ticked of a list that included further· ing the training and equippinj!: of lragi security forces, which are mtended to gradually take over for U.S. forces, beginning in areas where security and political conditions allow. "We want to make much more progress against alQaida. We would like to build on the early niOmentum from local groups rejecting ai-Qaida and militias," Petraeus said. We want to cehainly not just sit on the violence iii Baghdad neighborhoods and stabilize it but to create a way ahead that can be sustained by the Iraqis over time. We want to, where possible, frankly, to continue the process of handing off to Iraqis." Crocker spoke more directly of his conviction that the current strategy should be maintained - and about his concern that if the United States were to withdraw now Iraq would be plunged into a humanitarian disaster. "It is not as though we can simply decide that we do not want to be involved anymore and the movie comes - to an end," he said. ''The movie will keep on rolling in Iraq and in the region whether we're here or not. "I, for one, as someone who has spent decades in the Middle East, am deep! y concertled about what could happen if we decide based on reasons other than conditions on the ground in Iraq that we simply don't want to be involved anymore." He said the consequence could be inroads by the alQaida terrorist network, a consolidation of Iranian influence in Iraq, intervention by Thrkey and other nei~­ boling states, and a "mass•ve human catastrophe." Sprinkled throughout his remarks were references to a need for patience in seeing Iraq through its current crisis. ''there are no easy, quick, magic answers at this stage," he said. Petraeus, who. was installed as the top U.S. commander here in February as the troop buildup got under way, underscored his belief that the extra troops have produced the intended benefit of reducing sectarian murders, encouraging more Iraqis to help U.S. forces and squeezing extremist groups. "Once you get the locals recognizing that you are going to he there a while, they then tell you" where insurgent (orces are hiding, where they have placed roadside bombs and where they store weapons, he said. The problem, at this stage, is that these developments have not led the government of Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki to push through key legislative measures and to move toward political reconciliation between the majority Shiites, the Kurds and the Sunnis who lost power · when Saddam Hussein was toppled. Petraeus said he believed the Sunnis beginning to see their future in a different, more positive light. They have "gotten a little bit past the point where they were .the last few years, which was one of feeling disrespected, dispossessed, disappointed, disgusted, · distressed, you name it, at their loss of power," he said.

N' AEROSPACE WRITER CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - America's space agency was shaken Thursday by two startling and unrelated reports: One involved claims that astronauts were drunk before flying. The other was news from NASA itself that a worker had sabotaged a comp\lter set for delivery to the international space station. . It was just another jolt for an operation that has had a rocky year from the start, beginning with the arrest of an astronaut accused of attacking a rival . in a love trian~le. "Its going to shake up the world, I'll leU you that," retired NASA executive seymour Himmel said of the latest news. 'There will be congressional hearings that you will not be able to avoid." News of the two latest bombshells broke within just a few hours of each other Thursday afternoon. Aviation Week & Space Technology reported on its Web site that a special panel studying astronaut health found that on two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a safety risk. The independent panel also found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch U<ithin the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule, the magazine reported. A NASA official confinned the report contains such details, but said they were from anonymous interviews and not substantiated. The official asked that his name not be used because NASA will discuss the health report on Friday. . The Aviation Week story did not say how long ago the alleged incidents took place, nor did it say whether 11 involved pilots or other crew members. At a news conference to discuss the upcoming space shuttle launch set for Aug. 7, NASA's space operations chief was asked repeatedly about the drunken astronaut report. The manager, Bill · Gerstenmaier, would only say that he had never seen an intoxicated - astronaut before flight or been involved in any disciplinary action related to that. But Gerstenmaier had more news. He revealed that an employee for a NASA subcontractor had cut the wires in a computer that was about to be loaded into the · shuttle Endeavour for launch. The subcontractor, which he wouldn't name, contacted NASA I 1/2 weeks ago, as soon as it learned that another -computer had been damaged deliberately, Gerstenmaier said. Had the contractor not discovered the problem, NASA would have uncovered it by testing the computer before launch, .Gerstenmaier said. Safety was not an issue, he added. He refused· to speculate on the worker's motive. He also wouldn't say where the sabotage occurred. He said it did not happen in Florida and had nothing to do with an ongoing strike at the Kennedy Space Center by a machinists' union. NASA hopes to fix the computer in time for launch next month. It's intended to be installed inside the space station to collect data from strain gauges on a major outside beam. Former shuttle commander · Eileen Collins was as stunned as anyone to learn of the astronaut alcohol claims in the upcoming health report. "I'm anxious to hear more details because 'this is very · out of character from anything I have ever experienced," she said. Collins worries this will hurt the image of•the astrOnauts, at least in the short term. "I hope people can really look at the good things astronauts do," she said. Astronaut Jeffrey Williams, who spent six months on the space station last year, said he's never seen or heard of anything like this. As for the effect this may have ·on astronaut morale, especially so close to a shuttle flight, he said,.. "We're trained to deal with thingg so we deal with them without much emotion." Himmel, who retired in 1981 as associate direCtor for what is now .Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, wasn't surprised to learn the information was anonymous. "Let's face it. Astronauts are a bunch of brothers and sisters, OK, and they'll cover each . other's backsides because they're . part . of. the team," he said. "And who knows what the role of the particular ones was to be. If he was just to sit in the middle seat somewhere and just be a r,assenger, you kind of say, Well, gee, I hope he doesn't vomit on the way up."' The independent panel reviewing astronaut health and NASA's psychological screening process was created following the arrest in February of former space shuttle flier Lisa Nowak. None of the panel members returned phone calls or emails from The Associated Press. Nowak is accused of attacking the girlfriend of a fellow astronaut - her romantic rival - with pepper spray in a parking lot at Orlando International Airport. Fired by NASA in March, she has pleaded not guilty to charge~ of attempted kidnapping, bitnery and burglary with assault. The scandal was followed by a freak hailstorm that tore into a space shuttle on the launch pad that set back the year's flight schedule. Then there was a shooting at Johnson Space Center in Houston by an employee who ultimately killed h1mself. \ ANNIE'S MAILBOX .Hope this absurd situation ends soor~: BY KATMY MITCHEU.

Friday, July 27, 2007 Foundation announces Wayne F. White Scholarship winners NELSONVILLE - The $500 .Wayne F. White Scholarships were recently awarded to eight high school graduates through the Nelsonville-based Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. "I was excited to receive (the Wayne F. White Scholarship) because it is going to help me a lot in the future," said Caitlin Heiss, 17, of Beverly, Ohio. "I am looking forward to getting involved in campus activities and in my program of study." In the fall, the Washington County native will attend Bluffton University in Bluffton, Ohio, to study dietetics, as well as food and nutrition. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. (Jewell) Evans made the initial gift of $25,000 to establish this memorial scholarship in order to honor Wayne F. White. Bob Evans, the nationally-recognized restaurateur and philanthropist, was a long-time friend of White and an early supporter of Ohio Appalachian Center for H1gher Education (OACHE) - a consortium of public colleges and universities within Appalachia that works to make higher education accessible. Staci Armbrust, 18, of Philo, Ohio also was awarded the scholarship. She will attend Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio, to study respiratory therapy and health managemen!. "I was shocked when I found out I received the scholarship," said Armbrust. "I am really excited to be able to start my future, meet new people, become more indepen- dent and learn about my area of study." The scholarship was created to honor Wayne F. White's memory and legacy by his friends, family and countless others who took joy in his life and accomplishments. During his lifetime, he was universally loved and respected as a homegrown, nationally recognized champion and friend of higher education throughout Appalachian Ohio and beyond. White was dedicated to helping others. A respected educator for more than four decades, White worked to change the landscape of education in Appalachian Ohio, fighting for equal funding for rural schools and encouraging young people and adults to pursue higher education. The other Wayne White scholarship recipients were: Ashley Tyree and Michael Milton of Lawrence County; Kasee Merritt of .Ross County; Teri Day and Devan VanWey of Muskingum County; and Hunter Lemley of Washington County.

A friend told me I shou d ask for an emplbyment agreement that speclfles I win not be an employee at will. What does that mean? A.: "Employment at will" means that, .unless you agree otherwise with your employer, either you or your employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any · reason that does not contradict the law. If you do not get an employment agreement for a specific period of time, you will be an "at will" employee and can be terminated at any time.

Q.: What happens if the employer will not agree to employ me for a specific J::riod of time? A.: If r;ou take e job in Ohio as an at-wi I employee, your employer could lawfully terminate your employment on the day that you amve.

The Rio Grande Women's Basketball program holds individual and team camps for students in high school, junior high elementary school throughout June and July every year. The camps are just part of the activities offered b.y the athletic programs at Rio Grande, as children and young adults from around the region take 'part in the wide range of sports camps on campus every surruner. ,. David Smalley, t _h_d_ coach of the women's basketball team, explained that the camps include day camps, where the students are there from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and camps where the students stay on campus all week. . Rio Grande str~ssed fundamentals at the basketball camps, focusing on the basic aspects of the game,_ "We have a great basketball tradition here at the university," Smalley said. At the individual day cainps, for example, the coaclies spent a lot of time working on the mechimics of shoot· ing and ball handling, while also teaching the team as~ects of the game. · 'We even involve the parents," Smalley said. For the day camps, for example, he gives the athletes homework during the week, so they can research basketball top1cs at home with their parents in the evening. "It's not just about basketball;'' he added. The students have the chance to tour the campus, swim in the Rio Grande pool and the NCAA tournament in his first four seasons: Wake Forest went to No. I for t!te first time during the 2004-05 season. Chris Paul, who went on to star in the NBA, was the point guard on that team. "His passing is a tremen· dous loss for the entire Wake Forest community," Paul said in a statement. "He played a very significant role in my life and his influence extended well beyond the game of basketball. He taught me many valuable life lessons and was someone I admired with the utmost respect.'' Before arriving in Winston-Salem, Prosser was head coach at Xavier for seven seasons and at Loyola of Maryland for one year.

The Rio Grande Women's Basketball program holds individual and team camps for students in high school, junior high elementary school throughout June and July every year. The camps are just part of the activities offered b.y the athletic programs at Rio Grande, as children and young adults from around the region take 'part in the wide range of sports camps on campus every surruner. ,. David Smalley, t _h_d_ coach of the women's basketball team, explained that the camps include day camps, where the students are there from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and camps where the students stay on campus all week. . Rio Grande str~ssed fundamentals at the basketball camps, focusing on the basic aspects of the game,_ "We have a great basketball tradition here at the university," Smalley said. At the individual day cainps, for example, the coaclies spent a lot of time working on the mechimics of shoot· ing and ball handling, while also teaching the team as~ects of the game. · 'We even involve the parents," Smalley said. For the day camps, for example, he gives the athletes homework during the week, so they can research basketball top1cs at home with their parents in the evening. "It's not just about basketball;'' he added. The students have the chance to tour the campus, swim in the Rio Grande pool and the NCAA tournament in his first four seasons: Wake Forest went to No. I for t!te first time during the 2004-05 season. Chris Paul, who went on to star in the NBA, was the point guard on that team. "His passing is a tremen· dous loss for the entire Wake Forest community," Paul said in a statement. "He played a very significant role in my life and his influence extended well beyond the game of basketball. He taught me many valuable life lessons and was someone I admired with the utmost respect.'' Before arriving in Winston-Salem, Prosser was head coach at Xavier for seven seasons and at Loyola of Maryland for one year.

VISION UEVELOPMENT TIMELINE . (MS) - One of the more complex sensory systems in the body, vision is something that is one of the last things to develop fully in young children.When infants are born, they do not have mature visual abilities. ln fact, in the early days, their hearing ability is much more pronounced than their visual ability. Muscle coordination is also very immature at this time. That is why many parents notice their infant's eyes turning inward or crossing. 0-3 months: Infants cannot focus very well, but may gradually Jearn to focus in on faces that will become recognizable. lbey also cannot see at extreme distances, so they respond to objects placed within a few inches of thetr faces , no more than a foot away. This is fme for nursing or cuddling with their parents. Brightly contrasting colors and patterns can be discerned. 4-6 months: Babies can now see a full range of colors. 1bey will be able to track movement of objects with their eyes. They may also begin reaching for or batting at objects within reach.

BYJorS.MuiRUPniN COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST O'BLENESS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ATHENS - Several mothers in the region recently shared stories about becoming donors of human breast milk in a program eStablished in 2005 by Grant Medical Center and OhioHealth in Columbus, Ohio. As an official collection site, O'Bieness Memorial Hospital's Birth Center offers an opportunity for nursing mothers to participate in the Mothers' Milk Bank of Ohio program. Human milk is .superior in its ability to protect and nourish infants, offers benefits to all infants and is especially important for premature and ill infants. When the mothers of fragile infants cannot produce enough milk for their babies, pasteurized donor human milk can be an invaluable substitute. Rachel Esselbum, a registered. nurse in O'Bieness' Birth Center, said when she discovered that the Mothers' Milk Bank was in need of breast milk, she knew she wanted to participate. "I was already breastfeeding my two-month-old child," she said. "As a nurse, I have always felt conscious of both my health and the health of those around me.

But is .vegetarianism a healthy lifestyl~< for · children? Such a debate is one that features valid viewpoints on both sides of the fence. Perhaps the greatest concern with respect to vegetarianism and children is malnutrition. While adults are no longer growing and theref0re won't have negative developmental side effects when choosing a vegetarian lifestyle, children who subsist on a vegetarian diet c6uld be doing themselves a great disservice. However, this does not have to be the case. According to kidshealth.org, numerous pediatric experts say a variation of the vegetarian diet is a healthy choice for children.

While many might associate the vegetarian lifestyle with adults, the practice, which focuses on a diet based on foods of plant origin, is not exclusive to people over the age of 18. But is .vegetarianism a healthy lifestyl~< for · children? Such a debate is one that features valid viewpoints on both sides of the fence. Perhaps the greatest concern with respect to vegetarianism and children is malnutrition. While adults are no longer growing and theref0re won't have negative developmental side effects when choosing a vegetarian lifestyle, children who subsist on a vegetarian diet c6uld be doing themselves a great disservice. However, this does not have to be the case. According to kidshealth.org, numerous pediatric experts say a variation of the vegetarian diet is a healthy choice for children.

Prenatal tests can detect many problems that may occur during a pregnancy including infections, viruses and birth defects. Done at specific stages of a pregnancy, they provide vital health information so that both mother and babY. can receive the best care possible. Obviously, prenatal tests have their advantages; but sonte are not always accurate and may carry risks.

They docked their boats below the stone wall and filled every available parking place in town to attend what has become known as one of Southeastern Ohio's biggest musical events. The fans relaxed in lawn chairs, some covered with large umbrellas to protect against the hot sun and any rain that might come, while others got comfortable perched on the parking lot wall, leaning against a lamp post, or sitting on one of the benches along the sidewalk. Many of the blues enthusiasts attending opted for comfort over style in their anire wearing jeans, shorts and t-shirts. It was appar· ent by their reaction to the music that they were in the right place to have a good time. From the time the music started at 5 p.m. Friday until the Bash came to a close just after midnight on Saturday, the 12 bands performed one after another.
