The musical settings are joyful, contemplative, optimistic, thoughtful, and stirring, and the discerning arrangements serve to support and confirm the messages of each hymn.

Flashbacks of high school flood the stadium late Friday night before the Homecoming football game. Chants and cheers echo across the field creating an uproar of excitement and energy. Despite the cold, the stadium fills with the enthusiasm of fans, players and even players from years. Alumni of different generations reminisce about what Marian means to them as they exchange their favorite memories during their high school careers. This football game is not only for current high school students to enjoy, but it is also for long-time graduates to bring back the memories that had been left behind. Graduate 2008 Graduate Brett Leahy goes on to describe his experience at Marian as "the best and most memorable years" of his life.
Considering that football has been an outstanding tradition at Marian, this is a sport that is not to be taken lightly. The football stadium is home to many long-time memories from fans to players. However, the 2006 Hall of Fame linebacker Leahy says, "Concussions stopped most of my memories, but one that specifically sticks out in my memory from Marian is dancing to Listen to your Heart in the boys' locker room after football practice." Leahy and a few of his close friends from high school sat at the alumni center during Friday night's game recollecting some of their favorite memories, and one that seemed to come up the most was the dissatisfaction that their football team lost the 2006 state football game. However, they are honored to receive the title of being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.
Sometimes after graduation, people often regret not doing more things to get involved within the school community and would consider changing something about their high school experience. "I loved high school. Students had a lot of support from the school which brought unity and energy within the student body and even the staff. I met a lot of wonderful people here," Leahy says. However, for Leahy, he wouldn't change a thing, except for the fact that he was jealous that there is now a boys' cheer performance during the week of celebrations.
Reflecting on his high school career, Leahy has helpful advice to share. "If I could give any sort of advice to future students, it would be to be confident and be yourself before it's too late. Find something that gives you motivation, and always surround yourself with good people," Leahy said. It is never too late to reach the potential of an amazing high school career. Homecoming may be a football game or dance, but for graduates of Marian, it is a matter of returning home to the place of comfort.

Charlotte pressing state for action on 'deplorable' railroad crossings
A court case between MDOT, railroad company remains in limbo
Rachel Greco
CHARLOTTE - Railroad crossings "in deplorable condition" have prompted city officials to send a message to the state's Department of Transportation: Compel the company responsible for them to make repairs, even if it means taking them to court.
The City Council passed a resolution earlier this month urging the state to take "all necessary actions" against Charlotte Southern Railroad Company "to compel" the railroad to make repairs that have been ordered in the last year.
Two of the crossings are already part of an ongoing lawsuit filed three years ago by MDOT, but the case has not been resolved.
The railroad, part of the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Group, which owns and operates five freight railroads and two dinner trains, including The Old Road Dinner Train in Charlotte, maintains six crossings in Charlotte. Those include two on state truck lines on Lansing Road and North Cochran Avenue and four others that cross Charlotte streets.
But the condition of all of the crossings are "causing hazardous driving conditions for vehicles and their occupants who must cross them," according to the council resolution.
Gregg Guetschow said those concerns predate his eight years as city manager.
"They are really rough," he said. "It's like driving on a wash board. No one is going at posted speeds when they cross them. Every vehicle is slowing down and trying to swerve to avoid the worse areas."
And the city's hands are tied, he said.
"When it comes to railroads, cities have almost zero authority," Guetschow said.
Pending lawsuit
MDOT filed a lawsuit against the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Group in 2013 over 12 crossings in Eaton, Ingham and Lenawee counties, alleging that the company failed to comply with repair orders from the state.
Among them are the railroad crossings on North Washington Street and East Lovett Street, which need surface repairs and rebuilding, according to the lawsuit.
Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina sided with the state and ordered the railroad to pay penalties outlined in the railroad's agreement with MDOT.
Those penalties included a payment of $60,000 to MDOT, another $7,500 for violation of the state's order of repairs and statutory penalties of $1,000 per day for each crossing that remained unrepaired.
The Michigan Court of Appeals overturned Aquilina's ruling, and sent the case back for a new trial, ruling that the railroad's actions did not meet the requirements for the penalties listed in the agreement.
The case was sent back to Aquilina in September. A jury trial has been scheduled for Feb. 13.
MDOT spokesman Mike Frezell declined to comment on repair orders the state has issued to Charlotte Southern Railroad. He cited "active litigation" against the railroad and said he was acting on the advice from Attorney General Bill Schuette's office. A spokesperson for Schuette declined comment.
Repair dispute
Guetschow said MDOT issued orders for repairs to Southern Railroads' local crossings in April of last year but the company never completed the work.
Mark Dobronski, president of the railroad, said the company made repairs in response to MDOT "requests."
"We adhere to federal standards that are enforced by the Federal Railroad Administration," Dobronski said.
But before hanging up on a reporter, he told the State Journal Monday that railroad crews can't repair the company's Charlotte crossings without city officials agreeing to close city streets during repairs, something officials have refused to do, he said.
Amy Gilson, Charlotte's director of Public Works, said the railroad doesn't need permission from the city to close streets for repair work.
"By the way, they've never asked," Gilson said. "That would not be an issue."
Guetschow said city officials are still hopeful the council's resolution will prompt some repair work at the crossings in Charlotte, and in turn, a resolution to the long-standing problem.
"The purpose of this resolution is really to encourage MDOT to pursue enforcement action," he said. "They are in deplorable condition."

It's Going to Be Nearly Impossible to See the Space Shuttle Endeavour On Its Move Through Town
By Adrian Glick Kudler Oct 5, 2012, 12:51pm PDT
The decommissioned space shuttle Endeavour is here (at LAX), but now it's got to get there (the California Science Center in Exposition Park). So starting October 12 it'll set out on a two-day trip on a special transport through Westchester, Inglewood, and South LA--and if the total citywide freakout over its flyover a few weeks ago is a good indication, people are going to be pretty damn excited. Well, too bad: "If it was up to the people moving the Endeavour, they would have the streets absolutely empty," an LAPD lieutenant tells the LA Times. It's not going to be quite that dire, but the LAPD will be closing off the sidewalks along the route, "making it difficult, if not impossible, for the public to see the shuttle go by," so this will not be a fun all-access block party like the night the giant LACMA rock rolled through town.
As a consolation, "the cities are urging residents to attend two shuttle 'celebrations' that are taking place along the route--one at the Forum in Inglewood and one at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall. The two venues can hold a total of 17,000 people, way fewer than are expected to actually come out. In fact, "organizers are already cutting back on publicity for the [mall] event because of fears of overcrowding."
Meanwhile, the communities on the shuttle route have lost hundreds of trees in service of the trip and they're going to have to deal with screwed up traffic throughout the move.
Anyway, if you want to see the shuttle trip, best to find a friend's house or business along the route.

Airfreight must embrace dirigibles, says IATA
IN a move that has caused uproar at Airbus and Boeing, IATA has called for the airfreight industry to use airships rather than conventional freighters as a way to meet targets on greenhouse gases emissions.
"Lighter-than-air airships have a much higher fuel efficiency than heavier-than-air aircraft," said an IATA spokesman, Jean Baptiste Meusnier. "This makes them ideal for the use of cargo, as seen with some of the super-heavy lifters already in operation.
"An airship produces 80 to 90 per cent fewer emissions than conventional aircraft," explains Meusnier. "They also fly at the lower altitude of 4,000 feet instead of 35,000 feet, which means their water vapour trails contribute almost nothing to global warming."
Two further advantages, he added, are that they don't need a runway, so doing away with airports needing to expand, and are also very quiet, two benefits that are particularly attractive to politicians eager to appease disgruntled voters.
There is a downside, he admits, in that airships are not very fast. This may cause problems with time-sensitive freight, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, but he said that it would be good encouragement for Western consumers to grow more of their own food in their gardens.
A spokesman for Boeing, Owen Wright, expressed concern at IATA's message: "The exhilaration of flying is too keen, the pleasure too great, for it to be neglected to glorified balloons."

Missionary Childhood Association
St. Peter Apostle
To invite individuals to support the education of candidates for the Catholic priesthood in the developing world
To support the formation of men and women candidates for the Religious life in the Missions.
As the 19th century was drawing to a close, Jeanne Bigard and her mother, Stephanie, received a letter from a French bishop serving in Japan. He told of the more than 50 young men preparing for the priesthood and about the difficulty he was having providing for them and trying to accommodate the growing number of young men applying for admission to the seminary. Stephanie and Jeanne began collecting funds to support these seminarians. In 1889, they established the Society of St. Peter Apostle to support mission vocations, both priestly and Religious.
How can I support St. Peter Apostle?
Each spring, funds are collected for the Society of St. Peter Apostle through an offertory envelope.
What happens to my donation?
In its first year, the Society of St. Peter Apostle sent help for some 2,700 seminarians in the Missions. Today, some 30,000 major seminarians, mostly in Africa and Asia, receive an annual subsidy of $700 per student.


What a day we're having so far!
You know why you're having such a great morning? You're keeping the truth, that's why.
No, we're not getting rid of the truth. The truth, you see, is God's way. We're keeping that, for sure.
I really liked this part of Pastor Joel's devotional this morning: "For example, the Bible says that love covers an offense. When you choose to walk in love even when someone has offended you, you are guarding the Truth."
I must be doing pretty good, because I'm walking in love today. Sometimes I feel like I've turned forgiving offenses into a full-time job (with plenty of overtime). If you like job security, there's no better line of work. It doesn't pay well initially, but it seems like everyday I get new, exciting opportunities to forgive and guard the truth. Praise the Lord!
Now that I think about it, I need to update my resume.
He's faithful and good, and He's on our side. I'm just beside myself thinking about the truth of God's word all stored up in my heart.
How about this part: "When you choose God's way, instead of the world's way, you are guarding the truth."
I like to think I do this already, but I know I can improve. Hey, I'm a work in progress. It's important we stay in the Word, talk to God every day, and do what he says.
By all means, let's keep the truth!
If you spend a lot of time on the Web or watching the television, I recommend keeping the Word close by. I have a neat little book called "God's Promises For Your Every Need" that I keep right next to the computer here. It's a collection of scriptures all categorized under certain topics.
You've got to be disciplined to keep the truth. Often I'll read something on the Internet machine and think, "Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. I wonder what God has to say about it."
I flip that little scripture book open to just the right verse and get it tattooed on my brain. Hey, truth is truth, and I'm keeping it.
Thanks, Pastor Joel. I'll keep on keeping on today. I'm forgiving everyone, seeking His face, and remaining steadfast in the mission He's given me.
"Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He that promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).
That's God's truth. God's way. That's the path I'm choosing today. Let me encourage my readers to do the same.
Choosing to love others is a good thing, but not having to make that choice is even better!
Did you get Pastor Joel's devotional this morning? (You can get them at his Web site).
I'm having an incredible day today because I'm loving others and I don't even have to choose to do it. I'm just doing it. It's like choosing joy. Choosing joy is just fine, but it's always better when you don't have to make that choice, right? When it's just there.
I think one of the things the Lord is teaching me today is that we don't have to put love letters up on the Internet to be valuing and esteeming each other. We can just walk in that "calm delight" Pastor Joel always talks about, knowing that at the right time we'll be able to express our feeling to everyone in our lives in the proper format.
I was thinking about the Princess as I read today's devotional. A princess likes to be adored and loved on, and that's wonderful, I look forward to obliging her in that.
But that day hasn't fully come, now has it? Does loving the Princess like Christ loved the church mean I need to post love letters on this blog for the world to see? Should my Princess have to post messages of love on the Web for the world to see in order for me to feel honored and appreciated?
Of course not. That would be silly. I haven't met her. She hasn't met me. I don't know her likes and dislikes. She doesn't know mine. I don't know our areas of common interest and such.
As wonderful as technology and the Internet are, there are serious limitations to this kind of communication. When it's time to esteem and honor those in our lives, the best way to do it is by trading e-mail addresses or telephone numbers. Posting love letters on the Internet turns something precious (personal exchanges by people trying to get to know each other) into entertainment for others.
Believe it or not, that's not what this is about. I'm all for entertainment, but it's no way to grow a relationship.
Princess, wherever you are, you're doing just fine. I feel loved and appreciated. You don't even have to tell me I'm loved an appreciated if you don't feel comfortable doing it.
We'll take care of communicating love and appreciation when we are face to face. Having said that, I want you to know you are loved an appreciated. I promise you this, you may feel under loved and under appreciated at times during this season of your life, but you won't feel that way after we've met and started our lives together.
I'm talking about our real lives together. Not silly, one-way communications on the Internet that really are more for the entertainment and appeasement of others rather than for us.
I bet you feel the same way. Have you ever thought, "I wish I could talk to him to let me know exactly what I'm feeling and thinking without having to filter it because I'm actually talking to umpteen other people"?
I have, too. So, don't feel you have to express it. Hold on to your feelings for when we get a chance to talk. I don't feel under appreciated or not loved just because you don't say it on the Internet. Two people have to fall in love. That happens over time as we get to know each other.
There will a day in our lives that we'll be like a normal couple. We can love on each other in private, and discuss everything in our lives like every other healthy couple does. Until then, we just have to take some things on faith.
Anyway, I really started talking today, huh? I guess the main point I wanted to make is that I'm walking in love today.
It is very true that God's love is not dependent on conditions. In other words, God loves people no matter what, and we should love the same way.
But should a believer feel obligated to surround themself with people who don't chose to love us that way, or support the vision?
We all have difficult people in our lives. We are obligated to love them anyway. That's just the way it is.
But, are we obligated to knowingly put ourselves around people who we're going to have to work extremely hard at loving?
Shouldn't we love certain people from a distance? I heard a fantastic quote once from a minister. He said that the most dangerous people in our lives are those who feed our doubts. If you think about it, it's true.
Jesus said, "If you believe, all things are possible." So, it makes sense that anyone who causes us to doubt the promises God has placed in our heart is really a detriment to us. That includes people who would normally fall into our "inner circle."
This minister went on to say that we should identify those peope and "ruthlessly eradicate them from our lives." Some harsh words to be sure, but I can actually see a kernel of truth in that remark.
Where do you make the distinction between loving people with God's love, and then on the other hand avoiding people who have consistently proven they are not on board with what God is trying to accomplish in your life?
That's what I'm fighting to understand and grow in. I know God wants me to love everyone -- even the difficult people. But during great trials of our faith, shouldn't we be extremely careful of those we allow to speak into our lives?
If after spending a couple hours with someone, you feel you need to pray through to get your vision back, shouldn't you avoid that person at all costs (no matter who they are)?
Anyway, I'm walking in love today and it feels fantastic. Have a great day.
I would like one of those Sen. Obama T-shirts, but in all seriousness, I've been thinking about our presidential election a lot today.
Tonight was not my night to see Senator Obama speak. However, there seems to be an unusual level of excitement that follows him everywhere he goes, and I look forward to seeing him speak in public sometime.
One of the things I've discovered as I watch coverage of the elections is that I have a hard time separating their personalities and "likeablity" from the issues. These people all obviously love their country and want to serve as president for the right reasons, so even when someone differs from me on some of the issues I find myself in support of them.
All these people deserve our respect for going through this process. We have senators and a former governor. People who have dedicated their professional lives to serving their county.
That's why I'm sometimes turned off by politics. I don't like to hear people bad-mouthing others simply because they disagree on issues. It hasn't been too bad during this presidential election, and that's a very good thing. For the most part, people seem to be very respectful of one another, and they should be.
There has been an excitement leading up to this particular presidential election that I can't remember in my lifetime. Have you seen how many satellite trucks are downtown at the Toyota Center tonight? The first African American in our history could become a nominee in a major party for the presidency. The first woman is running. No matter who you're supporting, it's an exciting time for our country.
I look forward to seeing who wins this time around. The election will be a good time.
We hear a lot about "change" during this election. Has anyone figured out exactly what they mean by that? The next president is going to have quite a job.
The truth is, I like McCain, Huckabee, Obama and Clinton. I think any of them would make a great president worthy of our respect and support if elected. Of course, I know who I'm supporting for president, because at the end of the day each of us has to vote the issues, based upon how we see the world around us.
It is fitting that we get excited and get informed, and that we all go vote in November. I'm looking forward to it.
I read about Astros outfielder Hunter Pence's injuries today and have to admit I was surprised. Not only because it's a rare occurrence to jump (accidentally) through a sliding glass door, but because I've been been waiting for decades to hear about it happening to someone else.
I spent hours in an Ardmore, Oklahoma operating room as a youngster getting sewn up after my mother closed a sliding glass door that I left open when I went out on the patio. Not knowing she shut the door behind me, I turned around and ran into the glass at full steam.
Sheets of that glass came down on me, slicing me up so bad in several places that I had to be wrapped in a blanket like a burrito while they rushed me to the hospital.
To this day, I have a scar on my face that goes from my left eye (the last suture was literally right under my bottom eyelashes) to the center of my cheek. Scars on each leg, also.
I still get asked about the one on my face. I used to joke that I got it in a fight in the Marines. It sounds better than I forgot to open a door.
I joke, but I imagine it was a bit scary for Hunter and we're all pulling for a quick recovery.
Anyway, this is also a little strange because I had bookmarked Hunter's new blog a couple days ago looking for the right time to mention that he is blogging about the Astros. I guess this is as good a time as any. I wonder if we can expect a blog post on this situation?
Get well soon, Hunter. Go Astros!
Do yourself a favor. Get over to Joel Osteen's Web site and sign up for his daily devotionals. They are pretty good. I may comment from time to time on them here.
Today I'm choosing patience. I'm choosing love. I'm choosing kindness. I'm having a wonderful day because life is all about making the right choices, and I'm doing just that.
Pastor Joel says I should ask God how to love you better. I'll do that, but in the mean time, can I ask you a question?
How can I love you better? I love every one of you because I'm walking in love today. It's all about love, love, love, love, love. Maybe I could do something to make you feel more loved? I want to partner with God to do whatever it takes to make you feel more love from me.
You might be reading this and thinking, "I just happen to be looking at this blog today. He's talking about someone else. He doesn't love me."
No, I'm talking about you, specifically. I love you. And I'm asking God how to love you better.
I don't want to fail in the love department. I certainly don't want to be a resounding gong or a clanging symbol. That would be weird.
If I don't hear from you specifically I'll assume I'm loving you just fine.
Make sure to subscribe to Pastor Joel's daily devotionals. They're pretty good. I may have a word or two on how they are shaping my days here occasionally.
Am I bummed about the fact that tomorrow is February 14, Valentine's Day, and I haven't met my Princess yet?
Well, no more than I was on Feb. 10, or Jan. 24, or Nov. 19.
The truth is, tomorrow is just another day away from her. I won't stress over us being apart tomorrow any more than I did any other day (or any less).
It's just a matter of time. If anything, tomorrow might be a good day for all of us single people to recommit to our goal of seeking first God's kingdom and will in regards to our future mate.
Are we seeking someone head over heels in love with Jesus, above all else? Are we seeking someone who we know will be a covering and an asset to us spiritually first and foremost, with everything else a distant second?
We should be. I know I am. Every time I pray for her, I pray that God will ultimately bring me together with someone who will love Jesus and His ways more than than she loves me. If you don't know the Lord or don't subscribe to my personal beliefs, that might sound like a strange prayer.
But it's not. I want a woman who won't only adore me and be a sweetheart, but one who I can depend on to hear from God herself. Someone that won't have a problem with looking me in the eyes in those times I occasionally get off on my own thing and say, "You're missing it on this one, man of God."
So, wherever you are today, Princess, have a wonderful Valentine's Day. Don't spend it lonely and wishing you had someone, but spend it celebrating the fact that God's best for you is right around the corner! His promises to you are "yes" and "amen."
That actually might be good advice for all the single folks out there.
Let's keep the most important thing the most important thing in our lives. Let's love each other. That's how they are going to know we are His disciples, right?
Commit to your quiet time. Listen carefully for His voice and be obedient always.
Happy Valentine's Day. Be blessed, sweetheart. I look forward to adoring you in person and rubbing your pretty feet (within the confines of our loving marriage, of course).
I've been thinking about the things I want to do before I die. Granted, I'm not dying anytime soon. The Word teaches that the Lord satisfies us with long life (Psalm 91:16), so I've got plenty of time to do all this.
You can't just let life happen to you. You've got to have some goals. Not just goals...plans. I heard it in a commercial and Pastor Joel said it, too.
You've got to know where you're going, how you're going to get there, and what you're going to do once you show up.
Therefore, I'm making a list of things I want to accomplish. I'm writing the vision down.
1) I want to finish reading the long book I won in a drawing from a blog on the Houston Chronicle's Web site. The book is entitled, "A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion." I've affectionately renamed it, "A Stubbornly Persistent Book." I guess it's OK, but it's thick, with big words and confusing equations. I'm going to figure out how to get through it, somehow.
Plan to make this happen: Break this one up into small, three- or four-page sittings. No use trying to read a chapter or two at a time. Slow, steady work.
2) Appear in a film with both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It doesn't have to be the same film, mind you. We can do two different movies if you'd prefer. And I'd like for Tony Scott to say I did well in the review (only if it's true, of course).
Plan to make this happen: I'm going to show up in L.A. one day and put in an application or whatever you do to get cast in a motion picture. I usually do well in job interviews so there shouldn't be a problem.
3) I'd like to stand on the platform at Lakewood Church and address those nice people. It can be on a Wednesday night if y'all prefer. Give Dr. Paul or Lisa the night off one evening, and get ready for fun and excitement (and the Word, of course). Pastor Osteen, we can grab dinner ahead of time. Go ahead and bring your bodyguard, too. He seems like a nice fellow with a great sense of humor.
Plan to make this happen: I may just show up at the church office someday and ask if I can be put on the schedule.
4) Visit Dominion Church in League City, Texas, and have lunch with the pastor. No bodyguards at that meal, please.
Plan to make this happen: Visiting churches doesn't take much planning. I just have to show up. The lunch might be a little more difficult. You'd be surprised at how tricky these things can be. Why's he going to lunch with pastor? I've never been to lunch with pastor, and I've passed the plate here or greeted guests at the door for three years! Wait, I teach a Sunday school class here and I haven't been to lunch with the pastor. That kind of thing.
I'm just playing, Dominion people! This is yet another great group of believers so I'm probably overstating any potential problem.
5) Have dinner with the Barlow girls and their parents, or just have a cup of coffee with them all on their bus. I want to see what the inside of their bus looks like. I hear it smells like cookies and vanilla spray. I have a huge crush on Alyssa but please don't tell her that.
Plan to make this happen: There are very stringent rules in place to keep scary stalker people away from born-again rock stars. Unfortunately, those kinds of rules sometimes hinder the noble plans of extremely nice, well-grounded people like myself. I actually have no idea how to make this happen. I won't stop believing for it, though.
6) Get the readership of my blog over 15 people.
Plan to make this happen: It's tougher than you think when you have as little to say as I do. Maybe I'll get blessed and someone will feature it in a publication or high-traffic Web site. I may have peaked at six or seven readers. I guess when I show God I'm ready for a bigger audience he'll give it to me. Like David, my times truly are in his hands.
7) Have a cup of coffee with my friend Rebecca St. James. Granted, I flew out to Nashville twice thinking this would happen and it never did, so this one might be a pipe dream.
Plan to make this happen: I had actually hoped that we would work on the same feature film together, but the script never came in the mail. Maybe she picked it up at Sundance. Possibly a sequel to the one about UFOs flying around small Texas towns taking rear license plates off of cars?
Having coffee with your friends is usually pretty simple to set up so no worries. I once had an idea for a nationally syndicated radio program featuring Rebecca and myself called "Joy Cometh in the Morning Show." Since I had no live radio experience (and haven't even had as much as a cup of coffee with Rebecca), I thought it would be hard to pitch it to anyone with a straight face.
8) Write a book (and have it published). I received a couple prophetic words years ago that this would occur in my lifetime, and I now firmly believe that was the word of the Lord. "Your written words will set people free around the globe..." Wow. I'm ready for all that. Helping that many people would be an honor.
Plan to make this happen: One keystroke at a time.
9) Take the Princess to Galveston, Texas, and onto the jetty that juts out into the sea...the one right there at the Landry's/Hilton hotel on Seawall. Maybe she likes seafood? Gulf seafood is pretty good. We'll grab some chow while we're there.
Plan to make this happen: All we have to do is go south on I-45. It runs right into the island.
10) I want to attend a serious debate between a well-published, well-credentialed creationist and a well-published, well-credentialed evolutionist. I've read that people who question evolution as a scientific fact are either ignoring evidence or are idiots, but I'd like to make that decision on my own, thank you very much. Please let me know if you hear of such of a debate.
Plan to make this happen: Find out where it is being held, and arrive in my car.
This is just a list of 10 things I came up with off the top of my head. These are some of my smaller goals. I'll keep the really big ones secret for now.

Report: Hamas Re-elects Khaled Meshal as Its Leader
Due to pressure from Egypt, Meshal to remain Hamas' political chief despite past announcements that he does not intend to seek another term.

Hamas' political bureau and Shura Council, the movement's internal parliament, unanimously voted on Monday to re-elect Khaled Meshal as political chief of the Islamic group ruling the Gaza Strip.

Sources: Egypt pressured Meshal to stay on as Hamas leader
Egypt's political, military leadership divided over support for Hamas
According to reports from Cairo, where Hamas representatives from both Gaza and abroad are meeting this week, the members decided to elect Meshal for another term despite his past announcements that he does not intend to run for the position again.
Hamas representatives convened in one of Cairo's most luxurious hotels on Sunday. An Egyptian source close to the meetings told Haaretz that Hamas Prime Minister in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh expressed his desire to run, in addition to deputy political bureau chief Moussa Abu Marzouk. However, as a result of Egyptian pressure and internal pressure, it was decided that Meshal would remain in the top post. Haniyeh will continue to lead the movement in Gaza while Meshal will be the organization's general leader.
Egyptian officials also reported that the head of the Egyptian Military Intelligence, Rafet Shahata, and other senior officials from the Muslim Brotherhood maintained secret contact over the elections and their consequences for the movement – as well as the relationship between Hamas, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority.
According to Hamas sources, the Egyptians, as well as senior Hamas officials, pressured Meshal to continue serving in his position since the election of a new leader would be cause internal strife, which in turn would delay measures the Egyptians are planning, which have to do with Egypt's ties with the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian reconciliation.

Lawsuit claims TXDOT knew of flood risk in Interstate-10 design
Published 12:22 am Thursday, May 28, 2020
WINNIE – More than 30 residents in Chambers County have filed a lawsuit against the State of Texas, alleging that the design of a local highway has caused repeated flooding of thousands of acres of property, including their homes and businesses.
According to the lawsuit, the state's decision to install a solid concrete traffic barrier in the highway's median causes flooding on properties along the north side of I-10.
While the lawsuit recognizes that the median protects driver safety, the plaintiffs point out that Texas transportation engineers elected to use a type of barrier that retains water upstream rather than letting the water flow downstream.
"The state knowingly and intentionally put a dam in the middle of a highway that runs across natural watercourses," says Daniel Charest of Burns Charest, attorney for the property owners.
"By design, the properties on the north side of I-10 are sacrificed, so a portion of highway on the south side could remain open. While the structure serves public purposes, like maintaining access and enhancing public safety, both the state and federal constitutions preclude the state from forcing a few individuals to bear the burden of providing those public benefits without just compensation."
The lawsuit notes that Texas courts, including the Texas Supreme Court, have ruled that the government must compensate private property owners for their losses suffered when the state chooses to provide a public benefit in situations like this. According to attorneys for the property owners, with the change in the law announced last year by the U.S. Supreme Court, this will be one of the first tests of the state's liability to property owners under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

If you did not get one for christmas maybe you were like me, clueless. Yet, it took me only days after xmas to know, I want an Amazon Kindle. Sooner than one can think, Valentine's Day. ... And I've made mention to significant others. LOL!
A visit to probably Vermont's only BEST BUY and this article "Kindle vs. Nook vs. iPad vs. Galaxy Tab: What To Consider - A Breakdown of the Most Popular Ebooks and How They Work," has made me certain that I want a Kindle.
I READ. During 2004, I read at least 50 bestsellers on the NY Times BestSellers list. In 2010, I returned to my old South Florida Library to get a record of the books I had loaned back then. Only to be told my record was no longer on file, since I was such a good loaner of books. I had no outstanding books or lost books so my record had been disposed of. I was so disappointed. Also when I travel, it would be nice to get rid of the book weight. So to store all my books in a device. Priceless. And the Kindle is affordable $139 to $189.
'Though I love MAC. I have used Mac computers from childhood. Apple II E, anyone? LOL! Anyway, the next 2 Mac products I'd consider buying are the Mac Book Air and iPhone. I really don't have my eyes on the iPad ... even if its pages curl like they do in a real book. And to spend anywhere between $499 to $899 on an iPad, just give me the Kindle.
Then there's the Barnes & Noble Nook Color which like the iPad provides color screens but I prefer the lighter weight Amazon Kindle over the Nook, despite Kindle's grayscale E Ink screens. And from this very article I discovered, "E Ink screens are easy on the eyes, glare free and generous on battery life -- the newest Kindle can last up to four weeks between charges."
BTW ... I'm gonna tug at heart strings in November for a Mac Book Air! LOL!
Good Post!!! I too wanted the KIndle for xmas for all the reasons you listed!!! I read an article comparing all and seeing I always wanted a kindle , it sold me even more!! I guess I will be getting it for myself since noone got it for me!!!!


Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cuts its policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.5 per cent on March 4, 2015. This is the second cut of it's key policy rate this year on the back of easing inflation and a government commitment to fiscal discipline. RBI kept other rates unchanged.
The RBI had lowered interest rates by 25 bps on Jan 15. Both rate cuts this year have took place outside of the central bank's scheduled policy review meetings.
The rate cut marks a vote of faith in the government, which on Saturday pledged to be fiscally responsible but said it would take an additional year to meet a fiscal deficit target of 3 per cent of gross domestic product.

B-52 Crews Help Save Disoriented Pilot
Air Force News | By Airman 1st Class Lauren Pitts, 5th Bomb Wing Public Affairs
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- During a routine exercise over Alaska, a seven-man B-52H Stratofortress crew from here, call sign HAIL13, and a B-52H crew from Barksdale Air Force Base, call sign HAIL14, received a call for help from the Anchorage Air Traffic Control Center Nov. 13. The whereabouts of a small Cessna aircraft had become unknown after its pilot became disoriented while flying through bad weather.
Air traffic control was unable to communicate with him over the radio because the pilot dropped too low in altitude, leaving him completely alone in the Alaska sky.
"(Air traffic control) called and said they had a pilot over the radio squawking emergency and had completely lost contact with him," said Capt. Andrew J. DesOrmeaux, a 69th Bomb Squadron B-52H Stratofortress pilot. "They asked if we could try and find him and make contact. We didn't know if he was still airborne, or if we would find a crash site."
HAIL13 was approximately 200 miles away from the Cessna pilot's estimated location when they got the distress call. Before committing to help locate the pilot, both aircraft crews needed to ensure their own well-being. "The first thing we did was calculate our fuel to make sure we had enough," said Capt. Joshua M. Middendorf, the 69th Bomb Squadron aircraft commander of HAIL13. "We also had to ensure our wingman, HAIL14, would have enough fuel to make it back to Barksdale (AFB)." After ensuring they both had enough fuel to make the trip, HAIL13 and HAIL14 headed west in search of the Cessna pilot.
One hundred miles into their detour, HAIL13 was able to locate and make contact with the pilot. He was flying low to the ground through a valley surrounded by rugged Alaska terrain.
"Because we were so high up, we were able to relay messages between him and ATC," explained Middendorf. Communicating between air traffic control and the pilot, HAIL13 relayed the weather ahead of the pilot and his best shot at finding the nearest airport.
As the pilot approached Calhoun Memorial Airport in Tanana, Alaska, HAIL13 communicated over a common traffic advisory frequency to get the brightness of the airfield lights turned up, effectively guiding the pilot safely to the ground.
"It was in the middle of Alaska on a Sunday night, there was no one there," Middendorf said. "We were probably his only chance at communicating with anyone. After our flight ATC personnel contacted our base and from their perspective, we saved his life."
Although both crews flew hundreds of miles off course, they did not allow the detour to compromise their mission.
"Something the 69th has been really mindful about is saving fuel," explained DesOrmeaux. "Because we were so diligent about being fuel efficient early on, it was no problem to go out there, fly back on course, and still make everything on time." The fuel saved in the beginning stages of the mission by HAIL13 and HAIL14, allowed them to fly faster back to their original course, putting them back on schedule. In the end, HAIL13 and their wingman were able to complete every mission checkpoint, resulting in a successful mission.

Our How to Build a Fire Pit project is certainly a reader favorite. No matter the season, DIYers love the idea of an open flame for roasting marshmallows and late-night hangouts. Just make sure you're careful when you light up.
Take a few indoor comforts with you when you go outside this season. Create your own cool breeze with a porch ceiling fan. And, don't limit yourself to outdoor furniture that's hard plastic. Go for plush, weatherproof seating and brightly-painted end tables. While you're at it, throw down an outdoor rug, a few planters, and a coffee table. Now, just look at all the livable space you just added to your house for the summer. Take a tour of the rest of this outdoor space.
If there's no swing on your porch, you're doing porches wrong. Hang one like the York Harbor Porch Swing by Penobscot Bay shown here, or channel your inner carpenter and assemble one from a DIY kit. You'll learn the strongest, safest way to hang it at that last link, too.
Noisy (or just nosy) neighbors? Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to make your yard a more private retreat. Shown here, staggered wooden boards create a one-of-a-kind privacy fence softened by shrubs and shade trees. (That takes care of visual barriers, but you can even reduce noise pollution with water features. More on that later.) See the aptly titled 10 Ways to Add Privacy to Your Yard for more ideas.
We don't have to sell you on this, do we? Hang it right, then sway yourself into the best nap ever. The end.
We mentioned earlier that adding a fountain to your backyard can mask unwanted sounds like passing traffic or noisy neighbors. It's easy enough to make one out of just about anything, including a salvaged urn or a stack of rocks (shown).
Mark entrances to secret gardens and create Instagram-worthy vignettes with a garden arbor. Shown here, an arched arbor covered in rambling wisteria marks the entry to a backyard from a back alley.
Set up a bistro set for brunch with your sweetie. Unpainted wood sets like this one may require annual sealing with a penetrating oil, such as teak or tung oil, to maintain their luster.
Run rope lights under your bottom deck rail for a magical glow.
Create a glamorous hideaway just steps from the back door with a pop-up gazebo.
