Article History (1)
This is a 5.5 mile trail that follows the path of the British Regulars and Militia during the opening battle of the American Revolution on April 19th, 1775. The trail can be travelled on foot, bicycle, wheelchair and even with strollers. The trail links Lexington to Concord and wanders through treed settings, wetlands and historic vistas of open fields and pastureland. The National Park Service has an excellent multimedia program at the Minuteman Visitor center (parking area) and this is a great starting point to familiarize yourself with the events on that April day. See a map of Battle road here http://www.nps.gov/mima/planyourvisit The NPS has painstakingly restored many of the buildings, sites, landscape vistas and even vegetation to the late 18th century period. It is possible to stop at various spots by car, but to truly appreciate the trail you should walk or bike it. Most of the buildings are open between the end of March to end of October, for operating hours visit http://www.nps.gov/mima/planyourvisit
The trail begins at Meriam's Corner where the battle really began after the opening shots at the North Bridge in Concord (Parking is available east of the Meriam House on Highway 2A). This is the spot where the British flankers had to come down off Arrowhead ridge after they had left Concord. The Regulars had to cluster together to cross a small bridge over Mill brook. The colonials began firing at this natural choke point. This battle began at approximately 12:30pm on April 19th, 1775. The Meriam house (circa 1705, 34 Old Bedford Road) has a washroom and water fountain www.meriamscorner.org .
The trail then swerves to the North past historic farming fields and pastures. Interestingly, most of the land along the trail was not treed as it is today. It was cleared for farming and the fields were separated by stone rail fences. These stone fences became natural cover for the militia. You will pass the Olive Stowe farm on the right which has been continuously farmed since the 1600's. The trail continues on boardwalk trails through marsh areas (please walk bikes here).
The bloody angle is ahead where there was intense fighting as the militia selected a natural ambush location for a crossfire. Hartwell tavern (built 1732) has events in the summer including musket firing demonstrations (parking area) . See http://www.nps.gov/mima/ for a schedule of events. You will also pass by a foundation and chimney of the Samuel Hartwell site. The house itself was unfortunately the victim of a fire in 1968 when it was being operated as a restaurant.
Captain William Smith house is next, home of the Captain of the Lincoln minutemen (also the brother of Abigail Adams). The British re-enactment groups camp here on the Saturday of Patriot's Day weekend (3rd weekend in April) see www.battleroad.org .
Paul Revere's capture site is marked by a monument in a circular shape (parking area). Samuel Prescott and Billy Dawes eluded the Regulars while Paul Revere was taken prisoner in the early hours of April 19th. Revere was released soon after as the Regulars became more and more nervous after hearing his description of the numerous armed colonists that were gathering at Lexington. This was reinforced by the sound of alarm guns and church bells ringing to alert the countryside.
The site of Parker's revenge is next on the hill to the left. Here the battered remnants of Lexington's militia reformed after the devastating battle on Lexington Green that happened at dawn. Parker's men ambushed the returning Regulars on this naturally defensive hill. The Minuteman Visitor Center is on the right and there is an excellent bookstore inside. It is one of the few 20th century buildings along the trail. At the end of the trail you will reach the Fiske Well (parking area). Wells were fought over on that day as the temperature rose. Here a Regular and Militiaman from Acton both raised their guns as they reached the well at the same time and fired. The Regular died instantly and the Acton man was mortally wounded. At this point the battle was turning into a rout. The Regulars reached Lexington by 2:30pm and were only saved by Lord Percy's reinforcements and cannon. The Regulars had many miles to go to reach the safety of Boston and His Majesty's Navy. They managed to reach Charlestown at dusk and collapsed on a site that would become famous in a couple months, Bunker Hill.

Judge Napolitano's Odd View of Catholicism
Posted on September 22, 2015	by Matthew Bowman
The Catholic Geek network brought to my attention an interview with Andrew Napolitano, a former judge on the New York Superior Court and now a law professor and a commentator for various publications in both print and on television. The former judge's interview centered on — as so many news stories are this month — Pope Francis.
Now, Napolitano isn't the usual kind of fisking target we have here at The Catholic Geeks; he describes himself as a traditionalist Catholic, and it shows. However, as Lori described in a post last month on sacred music, it's possible to go astray in the name of traditionalism; to be so focused on safeguarding the way we've always done things that you lose sight of why we've done them that way, and conclude that any change is bad.
The Catholic Church changes slowly, but it does change. Doctrine does not, but practices and disciplines are added, subtracted, or modified with each passing generation. For example, I prefer the widespread use of Latin; but there's nothing about liturgical Latin that makes it inherently superior to other languages. If we make the case that it came first, then, well . . . the first Mass was said in Aramaic. 'Nuff said.
In this interview with Reason TV, Napolitano is asked about his views on Francis and why the Pope is a threat to the Church. I'm not making that up; he actually says that Francis is "assaulting" the sacrament of marriage.
I transcribed the interview and will reproduce it below. Any errors are my fault; any omissions are to skip over irrelevant parts of the conversation. Please feel free to watch the interview before reading the rest of this post.
Welch: "Pope Francis, widely seen as the most charismatic head of the Catholic Church since Pope John Paul II…"
We've only had two popes since then. Is this supposed to be a dig at Benedict XVI?
"…is coming to the United States for his first papal visit. We thought, to get a sense of what this visit means, we'd ask one of his critics and also a Roman Catholic, our good old friend Judge Andrew Napolitano.
"This Pope, who's a very intriguing character, seems kind of American to me on one sense, he doesn't embrace the trappings of offices as much as previous popes did, he has this sort of humble connection with people."
Really? We're going to go there?
Okay, first, there's nothing "American" about that. Yes, there are a lot of rich things handed down from one pope to another, and the trend in the last hundred years has been to reduce that. That's due to a bunch of factors, most prominently that the Bishop of Rome no longer has to be as finely-dressed as royalty to be taken seriously. That's a good thing. For another, even the liturgical vestments of ordinary priests used to be made of richer, heavier cloth, as Fr. Z. explains in this article (if you've ever wondered why altar servers and deacons lift a priest's vestments during the Consecration, click on that link). The ability to make durable yet simple cloth for very little cost has lead to simpler clothing (because previously, it took so long to make, why not add little extra doodads along the way?), which in turn has lead to people of all walks of life expecting people to dress in similar ways, no matter their station.
Second, being "American" doesn't mean living simply. We're incredibly rich compared to the rest of the world; our poverty line is considered rich for most humans alive today, much less throughout history. Since the Bishop of Rome no longer has to act like royalty to be taken seriously by politicians, he can go back to living simply. Which, by the way, has been going on for a long time, more than just this pope. (Matt Welch doesn't give a timeframe for that "previous popes" comparison, but I can't shake the feeling he thinks that Benedict and John Paul lived lavishly.)
A page from Regina Doman's manga biography of Benedict XVI, Habemus Papam!. This shows Benedict's first sight of his new home as the Bishop of Rome, exactly as John Paul II had left it. He made the decision to live exactly as his friend and predecessor had lived, with only one exception: he added a stereo to listen to classical music. Extravagance! (Click on the image to buy a copy from our friends at Chesterton Press. It's a great book.)
"At the same time, he kind of puts America at the head of the neoliberal economic order, which is highly critical of him."
Yes, because any time the Pope suggests that the poor should have more help, he's indicting economic neoliberalism (aka free markets where the only governmental involvement is the enforcement of contracts). I'm really not sure why Matt Welch would see an inherent contradiction in living a life with little to no personal luxuries and suggesting to the world that helping your fellow man is more important than accumulating said luxuries. I doubt Milton Friedman would find a problem with that, but unfortunately he isn't around to give his own opinion.
"What is the importance of this trip for him, do you say?"
Napolitano: "Pope Francis is a challenge and an obstacle to traditionalist Roman Catholics, as I am."
If that sentence makes warning bells ring for you, you're not alone.
"I emphasize traditionalist, I wouldn't have said that if this were pre-Vatican II, but post-Vatican II one must distinguish between being Catholic and being traditional. So by traditional I mean I attend a Latin Mass where the priest faces the altar and where sermons are traditional theological and philosophical statements, rather than comments on politics or sports or the types of things one often hears in a regular Roman Catholic Mass today."
Okay, stop right there.
I admit, I prefer homilies that focus on theology and philosophy, not to mention history. I like context and details and getting into the depths of my faith and its thousands of years of history and accumulated thought. However, I'm also particularly and unusually trained in these topics. It's not just that I'm interested in them; I can go into more detail because I've already had the groundwork laid for me. It's like I tell my students when I guest-lecture at Christendom College's writing club: one of the reasons I enjoy talking to them is because they share the same groundwork and I can get into more detail without sacrificing time. (*cough* When I don't tangent off on stories . . . which happens a lot . . . like . . . every time . . . *cough*)
Basically, I can be lazy. It can be very hard work to try going into detail on complicated topics when you don't know what your audience has studied already. That's why priests will reach for pop culture items — and that's been going on since long before Vatican II. Hey, just look at the Bible — Jesus Christ did it himself!
And all of that ignores the fact that Napolitano is acting like there are two different kinds of Catholics, those who prefer a Tridentine Mass and those who don't. There's only one kind of Catholic. I, too, describe myself as traditionalist, but I do so to distinguish myself from Catholics who want the Church to reinvent itself every few years. Napolitano seems to be using it to define "true" Catholicism on trappings that have nothing to do with doctrine. I personally prefer Latin, and for the priest to face the right direction, and for the congregation to be able to understand more than just football metaphors; but none of those invalidate the state of "being Catholic."
Like Lori said, you can jump off the cliff from both directions.
"I don't know why the Pope is coming to the United States, other than to spread an aura of goodwill about Roman Catholicism. He is so likable and well-liked, in part by our colleagues in the media, in part by the liberal intelligentsia, in part by the silence of traditionalists who show deference and respect to him."
I'm really not sure what he's getting at with that last bit. I do have a bit of a hearing problem, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said. But when we speak without rehearsing, we tend to wander a bit in the middle of large sentences, so it's possible he just flubbed a bit in there. If so, he probably meant to say that traditionalists shouldn't be silent, because it makes the Strawpope narrative supreme.
Well, that's how I'd put it. As we can see in a bit, Napolitano has bought into the Strawpope more than a little.
W: "Do you see him as sort of sharply modernizing or bucking tradition, is he making a pretty sharp turn in things like speeding up annulments and things like that?"
N: "Speeding up annulments, in the view of this traditionalist Roman Catholic, is a rejection of his papal role. One of the jobs of the Pope is to preserve tradition and to protect the Sacraments. By speeding up annulments at the same time as permitting ordinary confession to absolve the sin of abortion, which Roman Catholicism has taught for four hundred years is murder, he has assaulted matrimony. For him to make annulments easier is a back door towards permitting divorce. And that is a direct, frontal assault on the Sacrament of Matrimony."
So is it a back door, or a frontal assault?
Sigh. This is exactly what I was talking about when I said traditionalism can go off the cliff by clinging to trappings rather than substance. An annulment isn't a divorce; it's only superficially similar if you assume that an annulment "ends" a marriage. It doesn't. An annulment is only given if, after investigation, it is discovered that the marriage was never valid in the first place.
Streamlining this process is a good thing. It reduces pain, promotes healing, and keeps the participants involved in the sacrament rather than breaking it with divorce. Add that to the sad climate we have in (especially western) society where marriage isn't given the grave consideration by young adults that it deserves, leading some into error, non-Catholic marriages, or invalid Catholic marriages not caught by the priest who witnessed the sacrament, and I think reducing the obstacles is a good thing. I haven't heard of any details that meant Francis was going to annul valid marriages. That would literally be a violation of papal infallibility, since this is about faith and morals.
Here's an example. About a year and a half ago, I was talking with someone I'd known for years, but hadn't had detailed and private conversations with in that time. She told me that her husband, whom I've known for even longer, had recently admitted he'd been faking his Catholicism. I'd known he'd been struggling with the finer details, but what she told me was surprising. Then she told me she was going to get an annulment, and after hearing the details (which I won't go into) I had to admit this was exactly the sort of case that the process exists for. He'd admitted to her that he'd known, going in, that he couldn't bring himself to obey essential Catholic teachings, and I suspect that if it weren't for this woman being in his life he'd have dropped out of the Church long before the date of the wedding.
I know, mostly through secondhand knowledge because I was friends with her sisters in college, of another woman who was trapped in an abusive relationship for a while. She got out of that, received an annulment, and got married to a graduate of my alma mater who is now her son's stepfather. By all accounts, this is a very happy result, and while I have no direct details on this annulment I have every certainty that it was equally valid, because those around me who did know the details were rather . . . displeased with the previous man in this woman's life. By which I mean that, in an earlier time, this man's last date would have been with a rope and a tree. That's not an idle observation, either.
These are why annulments exist. There are things that make a marriage invalid, and they become a detriment. I know of many other stories that friends and family have told me over the years that show how difficult it is, and how important it is to have this process available.
Divorce, by definition, is the breaking of a vow; an annulment shows that the vow was not binding. Those who seek divorce do not believe in the lasting power of marriage; those who seek annulment do. It is not "the Catholic divorce" any more than natural family planning is "the Catholic contraception." It does not declare valid marriages invalid, but rather recognizes the invalidity of already-invalid marriages.
This in no way invalidates the concerns of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI that the annulment process was too lenient. That is an indictment on the part of the ecclesiastical judges, who should take greater care with their entrusted task. The infallibility that Francis bears, both burden and blessing, does not extend to these judges, and that is where the just condemnation of these reforms should lie. Not with Francis' understanding of doctrine, but rather with his trust of those involved. Nothing in the reform could be considered wrong, but that doesn't mean the results will be better. That is where Napolitano's ire should be directed, not at manufacturing a fake "assault" on the sacraments by the Pope.
And all of that is on marriage alone; he also touched on abortion, which according to him has only been a sin for . . . four hundred years? Really? And he thinks that abortion shouldn't be forgiven by "ordinary confession"? I'd go into that in more detail, but someone already did. The short version: it doesn't change anything in the United States, and affects extraordinarily few people around the world.
The most important effect of this has already been achieved: people were talking about it, and many times we overlook how hard it is for people lost in sin to remember that they can get better. Spreading the news is absolutely a good thing.
W: "So you don't like him on tradition, you must love him on economics and global warming."
N: "The Pope is the Vicar of Christ on Earth. He is infallible on faith and morals. Thank God it is limited to faith and morals. The Pope's views on economics are what judges call dicta, that is, where a judge in a written opinion says something utterly unrelated to the argument in the opinion, and it is merely his or her opinion."
Yes and no. I've encountered this before, though usually from the opposite end: Catholics telling me that capitalism is evil because of something Strawpope Frank said. (Including Catholics who should know better; but they're usually already blinded by modern reinterpretations of distributism, which only work when ignoring G. K. Chesterton's exact definition of capitalism. It happens to be the same definition Pope Francis seems to be using.) This usually involves said Catholics telling me that economics are part of faith and morals, so obviously it's infallible that capitalism is wrong.
The answer is yes . . . and no. Economics as a science (in as much as it can be called a science) is not a matter of faith and morals. However, as with any human action, faith and morals impact it. To put it another way, the actions of the stock market are outside the office of the Bishop of Rome, but teachings on the moral use of your resources are not.
As such, it's well within the Pope's authority to exhort people to be charitable, to avoid greed, to stop accumulating wealth for the sake of wealth, or for the sake of luxuries, or to do so by underhanded practices that harm others even if they're technically legal.
Again, click that last link on Chesterton's definition on the subject. That's not the economic neoliberalism or free market capitalism normally discussed by the American right. That's the kind of crony capitalism that you find in places like South America, where bribery and the shaping of laws to benefit a few and impoverish the many are pretty normal. Oh, look, that would be where Francis is from. Perhaps he's speaking from experience? Nah, it's not like he angered the communists and cronyists alike when he was a bishop there or anything, speaking out against the evils of both . . . nah. That would mean Strawpope Frank is a lie.
[At this point, the video shows headlines about capitalism as the dung of the devil.]
Sigh. Didn't I already deal with this? That "dung of the devil" thing is the purest example of headline bias I've ever encountered. I've never seen a more blatant display of confidence that not only do these media outlets assume their readers won't look up the facts, but rather that they assume their own readers won't even read their own articles. Please, click on that link, read the truth, and spread it around.
"The Pope is entitled to his opinion on any matter of economics; it has nothing to do with human salvation. Now, I'm in the Ayn Rand school of economics. I believe in no interference in the free market by the government. I believe the only moral commercial transactions are those that are truly and wholly and fully voluntary. Not interfered with, not provoked, not even encouraged by the government."
I've heard conflicting opinions on the compatibility of Ayn Rand with Catholic teachings. I'm inclined to assume they're not very compatible, but I can't say for certain because I've never managed to actually read her stuff. Fortunately, I don't take my marching orders from economists, nor do I try to interpret thousands of years of unbroken doctrine through the opinions of one such economist.
If you're interested in my opinion on government control of such things, it's shaped more by St. Thomas Aquinas on the duties of government. That is, governments are set up around human law, which is valid only if it does not violate other forms of law (natural, divine, moral, etc.), and so must support (which is not necessarily the same thing as "enforce") those forms of law and use human reason to order society. As such, the primary duty of government is the adjudication of contracts, which is what allows society to function on a scale larger than that of a small village. (The secondary duty is national defense, and the tertiary is public safety which includes strictly necessary functions like police and fire brigades.) Yes, that means I'm looked at by liberals as a dangerous radical and by libertarians as a dangerous statist, but they're entitled to their opinions too.
Either way, whether or not Napolitano's views are actually possible (much less practical) on a large scale, they bear little resemblance to the matter at hand, any more than mine do. Whether we live in his ideal society or mine, we both admit that the moral law comes first. The problem is that Napolitano insists on interpreting any statement on economics through the lens of modern politics, without (it seems) any examination to see if, perhaps, the Pope is just talking about the same Catholic teachings that have been around for thousands of years. *headdesk*
Oh, but wait. It gets better.
The Pope is, by his own words, a Peronist; he is probably also a communist, lower-case C, and a Marxist, upper-case M, who does believe that the government ought to control and motivate the means of production and the means of distribution."
I — wha– huh?
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out your window on the right side, you can see a shining example of someone who doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. This particular specimen has become a traffic hazard, preventing the normal flow of conversation until the blockage is removed."
*repeated headdesking*
Three points here.
First, I can't find a single statement of Francis that, by his own words, shows him to be a Peronist. If someone can deliver that to me, please do so.
It's possible he simply meant that Pope Francis just sounds like a Peronist, but that's not what Napolitano said, and I'm disinclined to give him a mulligan on that one. It's not the sort of mistake you make through just a slip of the tongue; this is either a complete fabrication or a shocking admission of "didn't do the research." After all, while trying to find evidence supporting this statement, I came across a multitude of articles which argued all sides of this issue, and every one of them boiled down to the same mistake that Napolitano made: trying to interpret ages-old Catholic doctrine through the fads of today. I couldn't find a single reference to anything Pope Francis said on economics that wasn't what any pope could have said going all the way back to Peter. (If you find one, then by all means, please comment below. I'm interested.)
Second point: if he's a communist, he's a sucky one. Moreover, if he's an "upper-case M Marxist," he's doing an even worse job. He has to be the only Marxist ever to rise to both Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI's approval (or were they secretly Marxists too?), especially since a very important part of being an "upper-case M Marxist" is to be an atheist!
Is there a corollary of Godwin's Law that applies here? Maybe we'll need to create one. Godwin's Strawpope Law: "As any discussion of Pope Francis grows longer, the probability of comparing the pontiff to a Marxist out to destroy the Church from within approaches one."
And that just brings us to the third point, which is pretty much the same as the first: find me even one statement of Pope Francis where he advocated state control of the economy. In point of fact, he has called for the opposite: that the people come first.
It's like Declan's favorite description of Laudato Si': "Save the whales, but save the baby humans first." It only fits with some sort of leftist, statist, political agenda if you do selective editing first. Which, of course, so many people are already inclined to do, and I'm afraid that Napolitano is just adding fuel to the fire by blessing these lies.
For an alternate description of the Pope's statements on capitalism and what they mean for the United States' native economic philosophies, read this article from CNBC. In it, a Catholic priest named Fr. Sirico lays the indictment on those who would sit back and let others do the work or confiscate and redistribute. CNBC still tries to cast Fr. Sirico as disagreeing with Francis even as he says the same things — just translated for the typical word-choice of American pro-capitalists. If, like Napolitano, this subject has been confusing you, read that article all the way to the end. In fact, I might do a separate post on it.
W: "Do you think that these opinions, given his role, can do tangible harm?"
N: "Well, of course they can do tangible harm! Because they encourage governments in areas where there's the open interplay of ideas to move away from the free market and towards more government control. For Heaven's sake, the Pope says we can do this, let's go ahead and do it! That's the type of argument which I expect to be made, in light of his assaults on capitalism. It will be a little odd, Matt, if he comes here next week and directly, on the floor of the House of Representatives, assaults capitalism. What remains of capitalism in the world exists here. It would be bizarre for him to attack it at its core."
Um. Why? You're already acting like the Pope is brazenly attacking capitalism (which he is, if you accept an alternate definition of "capitalism" than both you and I prefer), and if he's not quite as in-your-face as his last two predecessors he's still not proven himself to be especially timid. And it's not like he's going to suddenly face opposition he never faced before just by saying the same thing behind a different set of borders.
Of course, he didn't say those same things that you're describing. And according to EWTN, he's going to go into detail about the Strawpope's words versus his own.
Well, he probably won't say anything specifically about the Strawpope. But it would be absolutely awesome if he did.
W: "Let's talk about global warming. I know you're saying that the Pope has very specific and kind of limited duties, enumeration of duties here; but if the Pope believes the world is going to burn up because of carbon in fifty years, shouldn't the Pope say something about that?"
My goodness, the Strawpope has really infected this interview. Where did Francis say that?
N: "Yes. The Pope is entitled to say whatever he wants. But in a papal exhortation, or in an encyclical, which for two thousand years have been used for the purposes of teaching the faithful faith and morals, that's not the place for it. If the Pope wants to say in some gathering at the Vatican, by the way, I think global warming is out of control, we gotta turn down our air conditioners, he can say –"
W: "Or not have air conditioners."
N: "Right, right. He can say that, and frankly, who cares.
Uh . . . really?
So, first thing to note: modern papal encyclicals have only been used since Benedict XIV (notice that's #14, not #16) in 1740. That's less than three hundred years, not two thousand. I suppose I'm opening myself to accusations of nitpicking with that, but from where I sit that's an important piece of evidence that shows Napolitano hasn't actually done much research into the topic of what amounts to the use of papal teaching authority.
That's borne up by what he says next. It's not okay to say something in an encyclical, but the Pope has blanket permission to say whatever he wants every other time he uses his teaching authority? No, that's not how it works. Wikipedia, of all places, has a good list of the requirements of infallibility, but it goes further than that. Remember, the Pope will not teach that something is doctrine when it is not. He can't do that. Even if he were a full-on Marxist like Napolitano thinks, he would be unable to teach anything that violates Catholic doctrine.
That's the true power of papal infallibility, because it means he can't change anything. I've talked about this before; no pope, at any time, has ever taught that something that was once a sin is now permitted, or vice versa. This is, I believe, why God allowed horrible, corrupted popes in the past, such as Pope John XII (who is said to have toasted Satan) to reign over His Church. Many popes have openly sinned; none of them have taught that it was okay.
None of them. In two thousand years. Is that a coincidence?
So, Mr. Napolitano, remember that popes are always on duty. If you think the pope is publicly teaching something wrong, then you have two choices. You can either reject the doctrine of infallibility, or you can accept that perhaps you don't have the full story.
And, again: this does not mean that "global warming is real" is now a doctrine of the Catholic Church. Laudato Si' mentions stuff about science and the impact of our practices on the environment, yes; but it's all in the context of how we are stewards of the world and it is there for us, and we should not squander it. Nothing new there. Anyone who's read the first few paragraphs, in which Francis mentions the other Popes who have said the same thing, would realize that.
Actually, the "climate change encyclical" is all about the purpose of the human condition and the primacy of natural law, including on the subjects of abortion, transgenderism, and the primacy of human life in nature. In fact, the encyclical specifically (paragraph 171) condemns practices like carbon credit programs.
"But when he uses the trappings of office and when he uses the means traditionally used by his predecessors to teach in matters of faith and morals, it's the wrong place, and sends the wrong message. It gives an aura of the imprimatur, lower-case I, of the church with respect to economic and political activities, and I don't want that and that's not why he's the Pope."
So, according to you, why is he the Pope?
Also, what's the difference between an Imprimatur and an imprimatur? Because that's just a little odd to stress.
Regardless, as I said, economics and politics aren't immune to morality or faith, and as such you can't say the Pope has no authority over those areas of human life and society.
W: "I want to talk to you about the interplay between your own sense of Catholicism and libertarianism. You were talking earlier about some of the traditions that you embrace; they're not traditionally the kind of traditions that a libertarian, socially, would embrace in the United States. How does your own sense of Catholicism inform and interplay with your sense of libertarianism?"
N: "The essence of libertarianism is the primacy of the individual over the state, and as far as conceivable, absolute freedom of the individual to make his or her own choices. That's actually also the teachings of Jesus Christ, 'I have come to set you free.'"
You know, any time someone tries to say that their particular political philosophy would be how Jesus Christ would vote, I find myself wondering if I could bang my head against a wall so much that I'd actually come to enjoy it.
Look, I don't remember anything in the Gospels about Christ endorsing particular political philosophies, much less candidates. The closest He came to that was noting that government is legitimate (the whole "give to Caesar, give to God" thing, you know?). Beyond that, He said His kingdom didn't have a local mailing address, and then went back to talking about how we're supposed to treat each other.
You can take plenty of lessons from the latter about how we should operate when it comes to politics, but I defy you to find one system that fits around everything He said. You can't, because His teachings aren't focused just on this world.
That goes double for the "I have come to set you free" bit. He wasn't talking about politics. People thought he was, because they expected a worldly messiah, one who would free Israel from all external rule. All he talked about was spiritual freedom, not freedom from government.
Napolitano does realize this, to some extent, as we see from his final words in this interview:
Now I know the Devil can quote Scriptures to suit his purposes, but the doctrine on religious freedom, the doctrine on free will, is such that free will is the greatest gift God gave us. It is so perfect a gift that we are free to abuse it; and history and the modern era is filled with examples of its abuse. So I see no inconsistency between the observation that the individual is greater than the state and the Church's teaching on free will at all. But I'm also not unaware of the Church's social policy; and the social policy of the Church is that I am by brother's keeper and that I should help my brother out. I accept that and I embrace it, as long as I am free to accept it and embrace it, as long as I am not forced to do it through the mechanism of government."
Yes. I agree with that, as long as we don't try to shoehorn it into one particular political philosophy. Nothing created by men can encompass God.
We need to remember that when we look at the Church. Mischaracterization, and even outright lying, has been part of media coverage of Catholicism for decades. They've been a stuck record, constantly trying to dictate what the Church should teach every time we get a new pope; I remember it firsthand the weekend St. John Paul II died, as CNN was speculating on what the next pope would do while JPII was still breathing. They were like vultures camped outside his hospital window, camera on the curtains as if straining to see the moment his soul left for his reward, all while asking if the next pope would overturn millennia of doctrine in favor of a liberal wishlist.
It's a mistake for anyone, Catholic or otherwise, to look at the pope as a temporary politician, no matter how much they want to see everything through the prism of politics. The Bishop of Rome is standing in for Someone Else, and he has no authority to redecorate while the owner of the house is away.
Keep that in mind — just that one fact — and it will make it a lot easier to figure out what is worth making a fuss over when it comes to the words of Pope Francis.

If you don't see Francis as a threat to Holy Mother Church, you're part of the problem.
The judge is spot on.
Learn your Faith well enough so that you may defend it, both against enemies without AND within.
If you don't know your faith enough to understand papal infallibility, you're part of the problem.
My response is spot on.
Learn your Faith well enough so that you may avoid making the rest of the Church look bad in Internet comment sections.
I know papal infallibility.
I also know willfully ignorant papalators who see no fault in this fool because they don't have the sensus Catholicus to DEFEND the Church.
He's not stupid enough to appear to CHANGE doctrine (he CAN'T change doctrine!); he's smart enough to ALLOW disobedience to doctrine. Look around! Folks are a-linin' up to grab them some Blessed Sacrament, MORTAL SINS and all! It's MERCY, dontcha know?! All hail Amoris Laetitia!
Oh, hello, Mr. Schismatic Bordering on Heretic! I had honestly forgotten you existed. My goodness, you really do reach far to express your conspiracy theory, don't you? And you show your true colors through the word "papalator," which is only used by those insisting that Pope Francis is an antipope who may or may not be possessed by Satan. Please, tell me more about how you can prove your argument through ad hominem attacks on both me and Francis. Or do you not have the sensus logicae to stick to one argument? After all, you started this by claiming Napolitano is completely correct, even though you can't prove any of my analysis to be wrong and have resorted to name-calling instead. Truly, I tremble before the might of your intellect.
Penelope Laird says:
Thank you for the cool and common-sense post. Mr. Bowman. I enjoyed it and learned a lot from it.
tgrignon says:
Well written responses, Matthew.
I agree with how you sum up Napolitano's views at the end. Here's a few of my thoughts:
Jesus was a true radical in His own time though an educated Jew in the traditional sense. He asks us to be spiritual radicals: as much as we can handle.
We can strive to be well educated in the long and incredibly rich history of the RC church but I don't think God cares whether we're looking at a priest's back or front or side. And a Latin mass? Please. It's just a language and not even the principal one Jesus spoke. I happen to like latin and greek and english and french, for that matter, at church but it's the ideas behind the language, the logos or Word behind them, that makes it important.
As for Ayn Rand. I have read her and she was no friend of the Catholic church in any possible way. I think that her depiction in the two EWTN Saints vs. Scoundrels episodes is dead on if you want to learn about her: https://www.ewtn.com/series/shows/saints-vs-scoundrels/episodes.asp?sat=DOME&sc=SVS. She is the scoundrel faced with Flannery O'Connor as saint.
As for Climate Change/Laudato Si? I march for life every chance I can so I agree about Declan's baby humans but I want to save the Earth as much as I can for all humans and our fellow creatures to continue to live in. All are part of creation and deserve to be saved. And if you don't believe the whales or spiders or bacteria or passenger pigeons are as important as humans then don't but at least be open minded enough to realise that any of those might be keystone species that will lead to other extinctions and possibly our own. I studied ecology and I can tell you that we just don't know enough to pick which of our fellow species we should retain on our spaceship Earth because I want to vroom around with my SUV.
I'm for Francis and Benedict and John-Paul II and all the other Popes back to Peter. Who is really good enough to judge them? God knows it's not me. It's my guess that He knows it's not this Judge either.
Even though I don't fully agree with your interpretation of the Church on our stewardship of the world, it is indisputable that we have a stewardship. That is the point at hand; all other discussions, while not moot, are also not doctrinal. They may still be theological, but that distinction is where Judge Napolitano falls short.

Wrap one piece of string around the index finger of each hand so the coat-hanger can swing freely. Swing the coat-hanger to make it hit a metal table leg or other metal object (you may ask someone to tap your coat-hanger with a pair of scissors).... Make a hanging rope and tie it to your tree to decorate your home during Halloween, or make a small gallows in your haunted house and hang the hanging rope from it for a grim and spooky decoration. Hold one end of the rope.
Tie strips of material onto the hanger until it is completely and totally full. You can make this easier for younger children by folding the fabric and looping it through itself on the wire. You can complete your wreath with some lovely ribbon tied into a bow.
Make certain that this is set smoothly after each wrap but not so tight that it pulls. If the forelock is too short, then you can use a standard behind the ear hanger, a figure 8 hanger, a double ear hanger or you can tie to the crown on your browband headstall (preferred for spade bits).

Sapphire Releases Graphic Sequel To 'Push'
Published July 6, 2011 at 10:29 AM EDT
The Penguin Press HC
Sapphire's new novel The Kid was released Tuesday.
(Language Advisory: This conversation contains language that may be considered too graphic for young listeners.)
Movie fans know the story of Claireece "Precious" Jones — the pregnant African-American teen who was a victim of incest and abuse — from the provocative, award-winning film Precious starring Gabourey Sidibe. The movie was based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
Sapphire's second novel, The Kid, is out this week. It opens with the funeral of Precious, who has died of complications related to her HIV/AIDS infection, and then follows her son, Abdul Jamal Jones, as he grows up.
Abuse is central to the experiences of both Precious and Abdul. In an interview with NPR's Michel Martin, Sapphire says Abdul begins a downward spiral after the death of his mother. He is placed in foster care, where he faces physical and sexual abuse. He then goes into a Roman Catholic orphanage and is victimized again.
Ultimately, Abdul becomes a victimizer himself.
"This is what happens to a vast majority of people who have been abused," Sapphire says. "There is a cycle of abuse that is very much above water, and then there's another area of the cycle that is very much hidden. That's part of what I wanted to bring out in the text."
For example, at one point, one of Abdul's abusers says to him, "Show me some love." A few pages later, Abdul repeats the phrase to one of his own victims.
Sapphire says she wanted to show how an innocent boy is transformed by his negative experiences.
"I don't want you to forget as a reader, even though you've had to go to some hard places, how Abdul is transformed by his positive experiences," she adds. "Precious has imbued in him a deep sensibility of ambition, and he is transfixed by the idea of becoming an artist, which actually puts a harness on some of the bad things he would do."
The novel highlights not just the transformative power of art, but also of memory. Sapphire explains that when Abdul conjures up memories of his mother, he stays emotionally alive. For example, she says, when Abdul dances he says he feels "warm and dark like my mom."
But — spoiler alert — the book does not offer a feel-good ending. Abdul is ultimately confronted by a doctor who allows him to see himself, to stop pointing the finger at the world and look at himself as a victimizer. "If he's willing to go back with the truth about who he is, we get the feeling that he can begin to get a life," Sapphire says.
Her book is also an indictment of society, she says: "We do see what happens when there was a loss of social services, and there was no safety net. So the child fell. We also see what has happened through centuries of people turning a blind eye to what was happening in our religious institution. The abuse that Abdul suffers in the Catholic Church is in the media now. But it has existed as long as I can remember."
When asked how she keeps such graphic images in her head, Sapphire explains that she doesn't hold onto them. "Sometimes I don't even remember what I've written," she says. "To create the art that I create, I have to compartmentalize. I can't stay in it."
Sapphire refuses to concede a step to critics who claim her writing is so graphic as to occasionally be regarded as unrealistic.
"I could write another way. I choose to write this way," she says.


Joanna trained at the University College of Creative Arts at Farnham, Surrey and as a post-graduate at Glasgow School of Art. She set up her studio in 1989, moving to Glasgow in 1994 where she is currently based.
Working on natural fabrics—linen and wool are favourites–Joanna combines dyeing, screen-printing and painting using reactive dyes, discharge and devoré. Imagery is translated through a series of layers, building up and stripping away colour. The process involves design development, creating and transferring imagery to screens photographically, sampling, fixation and finishing. Joanna's detailed and extensive technical dye records create a huge palette of colour options allowing a continuity of process.
The action of transcribing imagery to a surface via a screen takes a matter of seconds and belies all the hard work done at the preliminary stages. The physicality of screen-printing is important to Joanna. With all the subtleties of application, the process allows endless permutations and enables both a planned and spontaneous approach, which suits the way her ideas evolve.
Joanna's work has been exhibited in the UK and abroad, as well as appearing in books and magazines; she has been a member of the 62 Group of Textile Artists since 1997. She is the author of the popular 'Dyeing and Screen-Printing on Textiles'; first published by A & C Black in 2003, the second edition came out in March 2012. Joanna is a visiting lecturer at degree level, runs five day and weekend courses in her studio and is also available for talks.

46664 AIDS Charity Concert
46664 (four, double six, six four) is a series of AIDS charity concerts played in honour of Nelson Mandela by South African musicians in the 2000s.
Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year. The prison administration's scheme of numbering prisoners was to follow the sequence number of the prisoner (466 in his case), with the last two digits of the year (64).[1]
The number was imposed on him by the prison for over 25 years, until his release in 1990. "Prisoner 46664" continues to be used, as a reverential title for him, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation uses 46664.com as its website address.
Shortly before Joe Strummer's death, he and U2's Bono co-wrote the song "46664" for Mandela as part of the campaign against AIDS in Africa.
On 29 November 2003 an event called the 46664 Concert was held at Green Point Stadium, Cape Town. It was hosted by Mandela and its goal was to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
Source: Wikipedia Added by: Kevin Rogers
46664 is Nelson Mandela's global HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention campaign.
The 46664 campaign is an initiative to inspire individual and collective action towards an AIDS-free world. At its core, the campaign is about bringing hope and inspiration to all affected by HIV/AIDS. Thus 46664 raises awareness about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the underlying issues that influence it, such as poverty, lack of education, gender inequality, lack of access to health facilities and the denial of economic opportunities. 46664 achieves its objectives through outreach campaigns in Africa and beyond, as well as through the staging of multi-artist concerts, sports and entertainment events and fundraisers. The campaign uses the universal connecting power of music, sport, entertainment and celebrity to educate, engage and empower those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, and draws upon an extensive global network of ambassadors and celebrities. International ambassadors have the power to raise awareness and educate the younger generation in particular. By gaining global backing for the cause, 46664 looks to raise funds to directly assist the many HIV/AIDS projects it supports.
The 46664 campaign began in 2002 when Mr Mandela realised that to reach the youth of the world he needed to engage the support of the people who most appeal to them.
46664 (four, double six, six four) was Nelson Mandela's prison number when he was imprisoned on Robben Island, off Cape Town in South Africa.
He was jailed in 1964 for 27 years for leading the liberation movement against apartheid and for his impassioned stance on the rights of everyone to live in freedom. He was prisoner number 466, imprisoned in 1964. The Robben Island prisoners were never referred to by their names, but rather by their numbers and year of imprisonment – hence 46664 was Mr Mandela's number.
This was typical of the strategy of the apartheid regime, to reduce its opponents to nameless numbers.
It was for precisely this reason that Mr Mandela decided to use this powerful, symbolic number in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through this simple, poignant means he has demonstrated and communicated to the world that people must never be reduced to simple numbers – we are human beings, all equal, and those infected and living with HIV/AIDS have the same right to live and to be treated as equals.
This is how the number 46664 became the icon for promoting Mr Mandela's global HIV/AIDS awareness campaign.
He famously handed over the fight at a concert in Hyde Park, London, in 2008, with the words "It's in our hands".
46664 is a South African-based, independent, not-for-profit entity wholly owned by the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

College admissions officials take notice of high school students who have studied overseas. A student who has spent time overseas has experience with other cultures. Plus, it's very likely that the student is fluent in one or more foreign languages. This type of experience and knowledge appeals to colleges looking to fill their freshman class with students who have a unique perspective on the world. In addition, a student who has studied overseas may be able to get credit that counts toward fulfilling a college's foreign language requirement.
A student's knowledge of a school can affect their college acceptance chances. College officials appreciate when a student takes the time and effort to learn about the history of their school. In order to get this type of knowledge, a student can ask questions during a campus tour as well as read about the traditions of the school. In short, a student who knows more than what is displayed on a school's website is going to get the attention of college officials during an interview.
College officials look at whether applicants challenge themselves in high school. In some cases, a student who takes increasingly difficult courses each year is more likely to get a college acceptance letter than a student who excels in classes that are relatively easy. Students who take challenging courses are showing an enthusiasm for learning and a willingness to expand their skills. Colleges want students who are excited about growing academically.
High school students know that writing an admissions essay is a step on the road toward a university acceptance letter. But some students neglect to give this essay the attention it deserves. The admissions essay gives college officials the opportunity to get to know a student in a personal way. For instance, sometimes, students are called upon to write about the biggest influence in their lives. A student's description of this person can reveal a lot about their level of maturity and goals for the future. A sincere, well-written essay can play an important role in a student's college acceptance.
Students are aware that college admissions officials take a close look at an applicant's extracurricular activities. Officials like to see students who participate in activities that give them the opportunity to practice their leadership skills. They also appreciate students who serve their community. This may mean volunteering at a local homeless shelter or helping to collect food and clothing items for a local organization that provides hurricane relief. The length of participation in community service is something that college admissions officials look at as well.
Today, many high school students have a lot of experience with social media. Chances are good that they have more than one account where they post photographs and communicate with friends. It's not out of the question for admissions officials at a college to go online to look at an applicant's communications via social media. Students who have questionable items on their social media pages may leave college admissions officials with the wrong impression. When it comes to college acceptance, information on the Internet can work either for or against an applicant. Students who are applying to college should make sure that all of the items they put on social media are appropriate.
At Veritas Prep, we provide students with a variety of services as they make their way toward college. We offer SAT and ACT prep courses taught by professional instructors who've mastered these tests. Also, we provide advice and tips to students regarding their college application. Our consultants worked in the admissions offices of some of the country's best colleges. In short, we know what college admissions officials are looking for! Contact our offices today and let us know how we can help you on your journey toward higher education.

Q: I am trying to find the geometric mean in c++ using object oriented programming So I'm trying to find the geometric mean I believe I have the function correct... I get an error that says I need to define pow... Do I make a separate function or what? This is the code I have already tried.
float MyCollection::GM(){
    float aux=0;
    for(int i=0; i<=n; i++){
        aux*=series[i];
    }
    return((double)(pow(aux),(series[i]/n)));
}

A: Firstly, edit your code like @NathanOliver said. For maths, you have made two mistakes:

*

*Your aux will always be 0.

*The exponent should be 1/n according to the definition of Geometric mean.

The main calculation should be:
float aux = 1.0f;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
    aux *= series[i];
}
return pow(aux, 1.0/n);

A: In order to use pow you need to include math.h or cmath.
You also have a typo.  in
return((double)(pow(aux),(series[i]/n)));

you are only calling the pow function with one argument
pow(aux)

I believe you ment to have
return pow(aux, series[I]/n)

A: You need to add the following header file
#include <cmath>

A: cmath.pow takes 2 arguments
Do you actually mean "return (double)(pow(aux,(series[i]/n)));"?

Today I have a brief review of the new GLOSSYBOX for the U.S. If you don't know about GLOSSYBOX, here is what it is. Each month, they send a beauty box to your home, which includes five of the latest and most exciting beauty products from around the world. GLOSSYBOX is currently operating in over 18 countries worldwide, and now GLOSSYBOX is finally launching in the US. When I was contacted by GLOSSYBOX to receive a box to review, I was really excited to see what exactly is included in the box. There are things to consider about this box, which I will talk about..
So like I said before, there are things to consider with this particular box. This box that I received from GLOSSYBOX has 5 full size products. If you are to subscribe with GLOSSYBOX, you will receive 5 products in the box and at least one of those will be a full size product. I want to make sure that it is clear how this box works.I wasn't sure to even sure to post what was in this box being that it is not something that will be seen in future boxes. I just wanted to make sure that it is known about GLOSSYBOX. I loved 3 out of 5 products. The OPI nail polish, The eye gel, and the Kryolan lip gloss. I was allergic to the body lotion and the CARGO EyeBronzer was messy and got everywhere.
Also, the price point is kind of driving me crazy. This is one of the most higher priced sample boxes, being $21 a month. I personally have not subscribed to any monthly sample boxes, I just can't commit. I was willing to pay the money for a GLOSSYBOX like this one before, but one with 4 samples and one full size product? No way. Too overpriced. I will not be subscribing. What a bummer because I love the packaging. If I do, it will have to be some amazing samples and products that will blow me away.
I think it's great that you posted so people will know that what they see in the box (for full size products) is not what they will receive in the next one. Thank you!
I'm not sure they could actually charge only $20 for 4 full size products (although it would be grand). I subscribe to Green Grab Bag and love it. Even though the samples are small, I have found many great products and purchased full sizes...and would have never known about them had it not been for the sample sizes...so for ME, it's worth it, but I understand it's not for everyone.
i actually think they are really good value, especially here in the UK. the price for a normal full size product is more than the box, and although i guess you wouldnt be actively going out and buying the products i think its a really good way to test things out for a good price.

At Orchard Hill College the most important thing for our students is that they are safe and that they feel safe. We are committed to safeguarding and we ensure that everyone who is part of the College is responsible for promoting and protecting the welfare and wellbeing of vulnerable people.
We ensure that consistent and effective safeguarding procedures and policies are in place to support students and staff and follow the guidance of Keeping Children Safe in Education September 2019. If a student or parent/carer has a concern they should contact the the college's designated safeguarding lead or Head of Learning Centre immediately.
Please see our policy for further details.
Child protection, adult protection and safeguarding policy
Safeguarding is embedded into our curriculum, there is learning around identifying safe practice at home, in college, in work and in the community. All students follow a personal development tutorial programme that supports them to understand fundamental British values and gain an excellent understanding of what it means to live in a diverse society. Through a broad curriculum offer, students become aware that everyone has different needs, and they learn to be tolerant of others and respect differences.
Orchard Hill College has a team of student safeguarding ambassadors who support the designated safeguarding lead and Heads of Learning Centres to develop accessible policies, promote safeguarding , represent Orchard Hill College at local advocacy groups and participate in recruitment of new college staff. As well as safeguarding ambassadors, each centre has a student council, where students voice their opinions and ideas for college developments, policies, website, events etc.
Orchard Hill College has a Safeguarding and Wellbeing Offer for all students, which helps us to more effectively communicate to students, families and stakeholders about the specific work, both proactive and reactive, that staff undertake within the college to ensure that students are able to learn and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. The offer gives details of the college's contextual safeguarding approach and is structured around three tiers of provision:
Universal – this encompasses all proactive work undertaken to safeguard our pupils/students, e.g. pastoral care, curriculum delivery, whole school culture, student voice/student advocacy work, therapeutic support, partnerships with external services e.g. clinical psychology.
Targeted – any specific programmes or initiatives aimed at students or families who may benefit from additional support e.g. special learning programmes, group work for students at risk.
Specialist – external support or specialist support within school that is aimed at students and/or families who have been identified as needing extra support e.g. learning developed specifically to safeguard, therapy and nursing programmes.
The safety of our students is our number one priority. As we all know, the risks in modern society are varied and constantly changing and we cannot remove these, so we all need to help educate students in ways to keep them safe.
As part of safeguarding the students of Orchard Hill College we will ensure that no political view is promoted. If political views are discussed as part of the school curriculum we will ensure this is a balanced discussion.
The Safeguarding Team
Staff and Governors at Orchard Hill College are committed to the responsibilities and their statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of students. If you have any Child Protection concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the college.
Designated Safeguarding Lead: Kirsty Cottrell Tel: 0345 402 0453 Email: kcottrell@orchardhill.ac.uk

Myself, Yourself, Herself, Himself, Themselves
Right up there with people saying I when they should say me—and me when they should say I—is the wholesale misuse of myself. Here's the deal. (If my explanation falls short, Grammar Girl is good and clear on this one.)
Myself (like yourself, herself, himself, and themselves) is a reflexive pronoun and should be used only in two cases.
1. When the action turns back on the subject, as in:
• I hurt myself when I fell down the stairs.
• She embarrassed herself in the presentation when she forgot her lines.
• They brought themselves to tears when they told us how they had been robbed.
2. When you want to add emphasis, as in:
• Because he keeps divorce representations to a minimum, Mr. Zabel often refers cases to his former wife, Eleanor B. Alter, herself a prominent matrimonial lawyer in New York.
• McDonnell told his sons to give back the expensive golf clubs, but then he, himself, accepted a custom golf bag.
• Some followers of Graham Holdings say that Mr. Graham is so devoted to Mr. Buffett's investment advice he follows it more rigorously than Mr. Buffett himself does.
But myself crops up everywhere—mostly where it shouldn't. Here's some of what I've seen. I read the last sentence in a book from Harvard about writing college essays. It gave me palpitations.
• I don't know any mental health experts, myself included, who would refer to a death of a human being as an "opportunity."
Correct: I don't know any mental health experts, me included, who would refer to a death of a human being as an "opportunity."
• If you have a question, come to myself or John.
Correct: If you have question, come to John or me. (If John weren't available, would you say, "If you have a question, come to myself"?)
• Bob and myself welcome you to today's meeting.
Correct: Bob and I welcome you to today's meeting. (Myself can never be the subject.)
• On behalf of myself, and my colleagues in Barnes, I look forward to seeing you on campus.
Correct: On behalf of all of us in Barnes, we look forward to seeing you on campus soon. (No need to say on behalf of myself, which to be correct would be on behalf of me, because you're the one writing it.)
• Please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and friends.
Correct: Please try to be respectful of my accounts and those of my family and friends.
• You have been told these five hundred painstakingly crafted words must complete the intimidating mission of distinguishing yourself from the legions of other college applicants.
Correct: You have been told these five hundred painstakingly crafted words must complete the intimidating mission of distinguishing you from the legions of other college students. (Your essay distinguishes you. You distinguish yourself.)
Don't Use Impactful Either


ORLANDO, Fla., (June 19, 2012) – AAA projects 42.3 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Independence Day holiday weekend, a 4.9 percent increase over the 40.3 million people who traveled last year. The expected 2012 Independence Day holiday travel volume will tie the past decade's previous high mark set in 2007 and represents a near 42 percent increase from 2009. The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Tuesday, July 3 to Sunday, July 8.
"A healthy travel industry is critical to the overall well-being of our economy and consistent increases in travel are encouraging," added Sutherland.
The price of gasoline is another factor expected to play a role in spurring intentions to travel this Independence Day holiday period. On April 6, motorists experienced a year-to-date peak average price of $3.94 per gallon for regular gasoline. The current national average price of regular gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, 44 cents lower than the April peak and 16 cents less than this time last year.
Approximately 35.5 million people plan to travel by automobile setting the high-water mark for the decade, as 84 percent of all Independence Day holiday travelers choose this traditionally dominant mode of transportation. This is a four percent increase over the 34.1 million people who traveled by auto last year.
Slightly more than 3.2 million leisure travelers (eight percent of holiday travelers) will fly during the Independence Day holiday period, a more than nine percent increase over the 2.9 million air travelers in 2011. This year's increase is the third consecutive year of rising Independence Day holiday air travel volume, following the decade low 1.4 million air travelers in 2009.
Airfares are flat year over year with an average lowest round-trip rate of $200 for the top 40 U.S. air routes in both 2011 and 2012, according to AAA's Leisure Travel Index. A longer holiday period and stable airfares are spurring this increase.
The remaining eight percent of holiday travelers are expected to use other modes of transportation, including rail, bus and cruise ship, accounting for 3.6 million travelers – a 10 percent increase over last year and the second highest volume in the past ten years.
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, Independence Day holiday hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase four percent from a year ago with travelers spending an average of $164 per night compared to $157 last year. Travelers planning to stay at AAA Two Diamond hotels can expect to pay nine percent more at an average cost of $120 per night. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $40, a nine percent decrease from one year ago.
According to a survey of intended travelers, the average distance traveled by Americans during the Independence Day holiday weekend is expected to be 723 miles, up 150 miles from last year's average 573 miles. The increase in expected air travel is a factor in lifting the average travel distance as air trips typically span a longer distance than automobile trips. The survey found that the share of holiday trips in excess of 1,500 miles increased to 18 percent from last year's 10 percent share, while the share of trips shorter than 250 miles decreased to 28 percent from 35 percent a year ago.
Median spending is expected to be $749, a seven percent decrease compared to the expected median spending of intended holiday travelers ($807) in 2011.
The Independence Day holiday traditionally involves spending time with family and friends, enjoying the outdoors and participating in celebrations highlighted by fireworks. This year's survey of intended travelers found that the economizing travel consumer behavior reported in AAA's Memorial Day travel forecast will continue over the Independence Day holiday period. Lower spend activities like visiting family and friends and sightseeing are expected to increase up to four percent, while shopping and entertainment will decrease by as much as nine percent.
AAA's digital tools for travel planning 'on the go' include eTourBook guides for 101 top North American destinations, free to members at AAA.com/ebooks. Choose from city titles, like Orlando, New York and the award-winning Las Vegas, as well as National Parks.
Free AAA apps for iPhone and Android devices use GPS navigation to help travelers map a route, locate nearby member discounts and find current gas prices. Travelers can learn about AAA apps and AAA Mobile Web at AAA.com/mobile.
Travelers can find thousands of AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants using AAA's digital travel planning tools or online at AAA.com/Travel. Every AAA Approved establishment offers the assurance of acceptable cleanliness, comfort and hospitality, and ratings of One to Five Diamonds help travelers find the right match for amenities and services.
AAA forecasts 31.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Labor Day holiday weekend, a 2.4 percent decrease from the 32.3 million people who traveled one year ago. The Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, September 1 to Monday, September 5.
The decrease in expected travelers is a result of a mixed economic outlook, consumer uncertainty regarding the overall economy, and recent downturns in economic factors that affect discretionary income, which is particularly relevant to the travel and tourism industry. Real disposable income is up just 1.3 percent, which is being offset by the travel price index rising 6.7 percent since last year, due primarily to rising transportation costs. The housing market remains depressed, with new and existing home prices down 2.4 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively.
AAA's projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. The Boston-based economic research and consulting firm teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during the major holidays. AAA has been reporting on holiday travel trends for more than two decades. The complete AAA / IHS Global Insight 2011 Labor Day Holiday Travel Forecast can be found at AAA.com/news.
Approximately 27.3 million people (87 percent of holiday travelers) plan to take to the nation's roadways this Labor Day holiday weekend. This is a slight increase of 0.5 percent from the 27.2 million Labor Day 2010 auto travelers, and a three percent increase in the share of total holiday travelers from last year's 84 percent. Automobile travel remains the dominant mode of holiday transportation.
Almost 2.5 million leisure travelers (eight percent of holiday travelers) will fly during the Labor Day holiday weekend, a 1.9 percent decrease from 2010. Rising fuel costs, combined with steady air travel demand, have resulted in rising airfares over the past few months. According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, Labor Day airfares are expected to be 13 percent higher than last year with an average lowest round-trip rate of $202 for the top 40 U.S. air routes. Increasing airfares and fees are factors contributing to the decline in air travel, the first expected decline for a major travel holiday in 2011 as forecast by AAA.
Other modes of travel (trains, watercraft, multi-modal travel) will make up the remaining five percent of total person-trips (1.7 million travelers), down from the 2010 share of eight percent, but well above the four percent seen in 2009. Travel via these modes is extremely volatile from year to year, with 2011's 34 percent decline in expected travelers falling well within historical averages. These modes are more highly utilized by those within lower income brackets, and as such, are highly sensitive to changes in disposable income as well as the travelers' confidence in the economy and their finances. Consumer confidence in the economy has been trending down in recent months, and according to a survey of traveler intentions, the share of travelers from the lower income bracket is expected to decline from 41 percent in 2010 to 37 percent in 2011. This combination of factors has resulted in the steep decline in travel via these modes forecast for this holiday period.
Hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase six percent from one year ago with travelers spending an average of $148 per night compared to $139 last year. Travelers planning to stay at AAA Two Diamond hotels can expect to pay eight percent more at an average cost of $110 per night. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $43, a seven percent decrease from one year ago.
According to a survey of traveler intentions, the average distance traveled by Americans during the Labor Day holiday weekend is expected to be 608 miles, only slightly less than last year's average travel distance of 635 miles. Median spending is expected to be $702, largely unchanged from $697 last year. Fuel and transportation costs combine to consume the largest share of holiday spending (27 percent), followed by accommodations (22 percent), food and beverages (21 percent), shopping (13 percent), entertainment and recreation (12 percent), and other costs (five percent).
A consistent story throughout the year has been the significant increase in gas prices. The current national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is approximately $3.57 per gallon, about 86 cents higher than one year ago. Down nearly 10 percent from their May peak, gas prices will have less of an impact on Labor Day holiday travelers than they had on Memorial Day and Independence Day holiday travelers, during which 42 percent and 44 percent of travelers, respectively, stated gas prices would impact travel plans. Seventy-one percent of intended Labor Day holiday travelers said gasoline prices would not impact their travel plans. For the remaining 29 percent who said gas prices would impact their travel plans, 20 percent plan to economize in other areas while the remaining nine percent are divided between changing their mode of travel and taking shorter trips.
Travelers concerned about how fuel prices will impact their travel budget can download the free, GPS-based AAA TripTik® Mobile application to their iPhone or Android device to compare prices for all grades of gasoline at nearby stations. Travelers may also use AAA TripTik Mobile to get maps and directions, AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotel and restaurant information complete with AAA inspector notes, plus details about attractions, events and Approved Auto Repair facilities.

With almost a month and half to go before the official start of the summer driving season – Friday, May 25, of the Memorial Day holiday weekend – AAA's daily, online Fuel Gauge Report is showing a nationwide average price for self-serve regular of $2.866 per gallon.
Expressing concern about escalating gasoline prices across the nation even as crude oil prices remain stuck in the lower $60 – $65 per barrel range, AAA said today it is looking for the U.S. refining industry to begin reporting an increase in domestic fuel inventories by the end of this month.
It is important that American refineries and those who import gasoline to the United States begin demonstrating more gasoline in storage by the end of April, if U.S. consumers are to avoid a return of $3 gasoline in many parts of the country, AAA said.
The nation's largest organization for motorists and other travelers has consistently pointed out to members, the public, media and lawmakers that demand for gasoline is increasing each year as the population and economy grow, and that efforts since the start of the decade have been ineffective at achieving anything close to price stability in the United States.
AAA said average gasoline prices are already over $2.90 per gallon in ten states and the District of Columbia. The nine states and there average prices are Ariz., $2.947; Calif., $3.338; Conn., $2.965; Fla., $2.910; Hawaii, $3.076; Ill., $2.932; Nev., $2.972; Ore., $3.067; and Wash., $3105. The average price in the nation's capitol is $2.972 per gallon.
Earlier this year, AAA had said it expected prices to peak and then level off shy of a $3 per gallon national average. AAA remains optimistic that this will happen, but said its outlook has become more cautionary with each passing week.
According to AAA, the price of self-serve regular gasoline was about eight cents lower one year ago today at $2.782 per gallon.
New Jersey has the lowest average price in the nation at $2.662 per gallon. That state is situated where some the nation's largest refining, storage and fuel importation facilities are.
Nationwide, the price of self-serve, mid-grade gasoline averages $3.042 per gallon, an increase from $2.710 per gallon in the middle of last month, and up from $2.953 one year ago. Self-serve premium averages $3.152 per gallon nationwide; up from $2.808 one month ago. Premium averaged $3.06 per gallon at this time last year.
The national average prices for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline for AAA's mid-April survey for the last five years are: 2006, $ 2.687; 2005, $ 2.266; 2004, $1.780; 2003, $ 1.595; and 2002, $ 1.411.
AAA's Fuel Gauge Report is based on data from Oil Price Information Service, the nation's most comprehensive source of petroleum pricing information. AAA purchases the data and makes it available free on the Internet as a public service. Average daily prices for the nation, all 50 states and more than 250 localities are available for all grades of gasoline, making the site the most current and complete public source of fuel price information.
As the nation's largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides 50 million members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. AAA clubs can be visited on the Internet at www.aaa.com.

"Don't you ever talk about the best, Michael Chmielewski!"/Keith Allison
The boys talk basketball and their favourite hilarious athlete quotes
Author: Harrison Brooks, Matt Wincherauk, Michael Chmielewski, Brady Lang, John Loeppky
The Cougars women's basketball team managed to sweep their opponents and are off to the quarterfinals. How far is this team going to go?
Brooks: This team is good, and they have the talent to make a run this year, but anything can happen in the playoffs, so we will just have to wait and see.
Wincherauk: Canada West champions. Why not? This team has finally hit their stride, and are rolling after stomping Fraser Valley in two games last week.
Chmielewski: I have a good feeling that they'll go all the way. As I always say, it doesn't matter how the season went, it only matters that you made it. After that, it's a level playing field, so here's hoping!
Lang: In the playoffs, let's be honest, anything can happen. It would be nice to see a Cinderella-style finish for these girls though!
Loeppky: I think the team is in tough against the highly ranked UBC Thunderbirds, but if they can sneak past them then they will have proved themselves as a legitimate contender for the Canada West championship title.
On the ice, the Cougars suffered a heartbreaking game three loss to Manitoba, after they tied the game with one second left in regulation. Was this season a success for the girls?
Brooks: I think so. Making the playoffs is what teams set out to do, so that makes their year a success. As I said for the last question, anything can happen in the playoffs, so the first goal is always to just make it there.
Wincherauk: I'm 50/50 on this one. They made it far despite the injuries they suffered, but considering all the hype around them at the start of their season, they definitely didn't go as far as they could've.
Chmielewski: It always feels rough to end the year like this, but honestly, they played so well and came so close to winning the game, scoring in the last second to force overtime. They should feel proud.
Lang: For the amount of injuries this team has suffered and the players they lost in the offseason, this year was a success in my opinion. They were streaky and it sucked seeing them being knocked out so early, but this team did well.
Loeppky: I think anytime you go out in the first round of the playoffs, especially after the team's resounding success last season, there is a sense that the season may not have been all that was desired. With that being said, with the kind of roller coaster ride the girls have been on this season, I think the first round is still something to celebrate and build upon.
The 63rd annual LIT happened over the Reading Week break, and it's one of Regina's biggest local sporting events. What's your favourite local event to attend?
Brooks: Red Sox in the summer, just chilling out there, taking in some cosmic rays, brewski in one hand, beautiful babe in the other, and watching some baseball, it doesn't get much better.
Wincherauk: Aside from LIT, definitely a Red Sox game. Baseball isn't super popular in Regina, but the Red Sox have become a Regina staple with their excellent play. They even got Seahawks punter Jon Ryan to hang out last season!
Chmielewski: The final roller derby match of the year! Pile of Bones Roller Derby is always entertaining, especially the last and hard-hitting game of the year.
Lang: The Labour Day Classic. Without question, this game is the most hyped of the year. It has become a tradition and a great send off to summer. My favourite part of this event is basically knowing this game is ours every season.
Loeppky: Maybe it's because I live in residence, but I love the U of R's events. I am a basketball junky and so getting to see the 'Cougs' in action is always a highlight. Carillon readers: please enlighten me as to where I should watch people hoop next.
The Riders brought in Kevin Glenn last week to be Darian Durant's backup. Is this a wise move by the Riders, or are we doomed again if Durant goes down?
Brooks: Great move to bring in an experienced backup. Glenn has never been the guy you can count on in big games or trying to comeback, but he is a good quarterback who can fill in for Durant for a few games a year.
Wincherauk: Our backup quarterback situation was pretty pathetic last season, so just about anyone would be an upgrade. I was hoping for Henry Burris just to see the reactions Riders would have, but I'll settle for Glenn.
Chmielewski: CFL Legend Tino Sunseri for sure. That man is going to go down in the record books for sure.
Lang: Great move. A proven player with roots with the Riders. He obviously wanted to come back, and I feel as if Darian doesn't need to be rushed back. Durant tore a tendon in his freakin' throwing arm, he won't be at full strength for a while, that's for sure.
Loeppky: Glenn has proven himself to be a successful backup and a capable starter. Durant isn't the youngest of quarterbacks and even an older player like Glenn is an upgrade on the merry-go-round of second stringers the Riders have been fielding over the last few seasons.
Kevin Durant has been blowing up on the media for the past few weeks, seemingly out of nowhere. What's your favourite media-athlete fiery interaction?
Brooks: "We talking about practice man. Not a game, not a game, not a game, that I'd go out there and die for. We talking about practice man!" – Allen Iverson
Wincherauk: For me, it's a personal favourite of mine and Business Manager Shaadie from former 49ers coach Mike Singletary, "Cannot play with 'em. Cannot win with 'em. Cannot coach with 'em. Can't do it."
Chmielewski: Richard Sherman. Wait, is he the best cornerback in the game?
Lang: John Tortorella and New York Times beat writer Larry Brooks – otherwise known as Brooksie – have had it out for each other for a while and every time they would get into it, it just got funnier and funnier.
Loeppky: We talkin' 'bout a question. Not an article, not an article, not the articles that I got here and I die for. I'm supposed to be a franchise writer and we in here talkin' about a roundtable question. It has to be Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia media for me.
