The George Washington Bridge (known informally as the GW Bridge^[3], the GWB^[4], the GW^[5], or the George^[6]) is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the Washington Heights neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City to Fort Lee in New Jersey by means of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1/9. U.S. Route 46, which is entirely in New Jersey, ends halfway across the bridge at the state border. The GWB is considered one of the world’s busiest bridges in terms of vehicle traffic.^[7] The bridge carried 147,912,000 vehicles in 2007, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — the bi-state government agency that owns and operates several area bridges, tunnels, and airports.^[1]   The GW span is the fourth longest suspension bridge in the United States. It contains two levels — an upper level with four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. Additionally, the bridge houses a path on each side of the bridge’s upper level for pedestrian traffic. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (70 km/h), though heavy traffic frequently makes it difficult to reach such speeds, especially during the morning and evening rush hours into and out of New York City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Bridge

  Episcopalian Church

The Episcopal Church, sometimes called The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, is the Province of the Anglican Communion in the United States, Honduras, Taiwan, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, the British Virgin Islands and parts of Europe.  The Church was organized shortly after the American Revolution when it was forced to break with the Church of England on penalty of treason as Church of England clergy were required to swear allegiance to the British monarch, and became, in the words of the 1990 report of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Group on the Episcopate, "the first Anglican Province outside the British Isles".  Today it is divided into nine provinces and has dioceses outside the U.S. in Taiwan, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Europe. The Episcopal Diocese of the Virgin Islands encompasses both American and British territory.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episcopal_Church_(United_States)The Episcopal Church was active in the Social Gospel movement of the late nineteenth century and since the 1960s and 1970s has played a leading role in the progressive movement and on related political issues. For example, in its resolutions on state issues the Episcopal Church has opposed the death penalty, and supported the civil rights movement and affirmative action. Some of its leaders and priests marched with civil rights demonstrators. Most dioceses ordain openly gay men and women; in some, same-sex unions are celebrated. However, on other issues such as abortion, the church has taken both sides of the debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episcopal_Church_(United_States)

 

St. Luke’s Church, built in 1632, is the oldest surviving English church in North America.

 

 

 

The Episcopal Church affirmed at the 1976 General Convention that homosexuals are "children of God" who deserve acceptance and pastoral care from the church. It also called for homosexual persons to have equal protection under secular law. This was reaffirmed in 1982. In 1994, the GC determined that church membership would not be determined on "marital status, sex, or sexual orientation". The GC also discourages the use of conversion therapy to "change" homosexuals into heterosexuals.

BEDFORD HEIGHTS, Ohio (CNN) — After two years of traveling around the country and criticizing President Bush, President-elect Barack Obama said Friday that he "always thought [Bush] was a good guy."   "I mean, I think personally he is a good man who loves his family and loves his country," Obama said in an exclusive interview with CNN’s John King. During the election season, Obama frequently campaigned against what he called Bush’s "failed policies" and promised a "clean break" from the past eight years.  Asked if there was anything he wanted to take back, now that he has spent more time with the president, Obama praised Bush’s team for helping with a smooth transition and said part of what America is about is being able to have "disagreements politically and yet treat each other civilly." bama also said he thought Bush made "the best decisions that he could at times under some very difficult circumstances."   http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/16/obama.interview/index.html

CNN) — Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva defended his country’s decision to free an Italian fugitive condemned to life in prison for murders he denies committing in the 1970s while a member of an extremist left-wing group.  Brazil’s highest court granted political asylum Wednesday to ex-Communist militant Cesare Battisti, an act that enraged Italian officials also seeking to overturn the court’s rule. "Italy may not like it, but will have to respect it," said Lula during a news conference in Corumba. "This person is being accused of a crime which took place in 1978, and his accuser no longer exists to prove the veracity of the facts." Battisti, 52, escaped from an Italian prison while awaiting trial for four murders he was accused of committing as a member of PAC, an acronym which translates to Armed Proletarians for Communism.

ORANGE CITY, Fla. — Dozens of manatees on Thursday flocked to the warm waters at Blue Spring State Park as cold weather from the north reached Central Florida.  Water temperatures of the spring, which is a designated manatee refuge, remain a constant 72 degrees, creating a safe haven for the West Indian Manatee.  To ensure the safety of the sea cows, the spring is closed to all water-related activities, including swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and boating, until March 1.  The best time to view manatees is early in the morning on a cold winter day.  Staff members at Blue Spring State Park counted 73 manatees, including 15 calves, on the morning of Oct. 30, according to the park’s Web site.  Blue Spring State Park, which is 2,644 acres in size, is located along the St. Johns River near Orange City.    http://www.clickorlando.com/news/18487312/detail.html

Whatever else I may have been stuck for, I have not been stuck for choice. But there is a calling that is yet above high office, fame, lucre and security.

A MESSAGE FROM,  AND IN THE  HUDSON RIVER : AND IN A POWER OUTAGE IN TORONTO

 

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The United States signed an agreement Thursday on civil nuclear cooperation with the United Arab Emirates — the first such pact with a Middle Eastern country.  Calling the agreement "a powerful and timely model for the world and the region," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed the deal, along with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed."We applaud the UAE’s commission — commitment to the highest standards of safety, security and nonproliferation in its pursuit of nuclear power," Rice said.  Congress has to ratify the agreement before it can take effect, and congressional critics fear it could spark an arms race and proliferation in the region. The UAE’s ties to Iran also have caused concern.  Under the "1-2-3 deal," similar to one the United States signed last year with India, Washington would share nuclear technology, expertise and fuel. In exchange, the UAE commits to abide by the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/01/15/us.uae/index.html

(CNN) — The problem of planes hitting birds comes down to a key fact: "We’re competing for airspace," says Richard Dolbeer, a biologist who spent 20 years studying the problem at the U.S. Department of Agriculture    Populations of large birds have increased dramatically since the 1970s, when environmental regulations were instituted in the United States. Birds have become more accustomed to living in urban environments near airports and the number of airline flights has risen sharply, according to Dolbeer.  Dolbeer, who retired in September 2008 and is now a consultant on the issue, spoke with CNN hours after a US Airways plane crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York after an apparent bird strike. He retired as National Coordinator for the Airport Wildlife Hazards Program and was chairperson of Bird Strike Committee-USA from 1997-2008.   CNN: How big a problem are bird strikes?  Dolbeer: Every year, approximately 7,000 to 8,000 bird strikes are reported to the Federal Aviation Administration primarily by commercial airlines nationwide. The reporting is a voluntary system. It’s not mandatory, so we know that not all of the bird strikes are being reported. We estimate that as much as 80 percent of the strikes are not reported.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/15/dolbeer.birdstrikes/index.html

Dangerous Gas Still Lingers At Middle School    Thursday, January 15, 2009 – updated: 10:03 pm MST January 15, 2009

EL PASO, Texas — An official parent meeting was called Thursday to inform parents at Brown Middle School that a dangerous gas is still lingering in their children’s school.   Julie Ito Morales’ 12-year-old son, a student at Brown Middle School, is sick.   "He started with headache and stomach ache, his stomach ache was so severe that before Thanksgiving that we ended up in the emergency room," Ito Morales said. "The illness seemed to have gone away during the summer, and when school started back up it came back full force."   Just a few months after its opening in August 2007, Brown Middle School has been suffering from a putrid smell of sewage lingering in the halls.   Students would complain about the odor, but it wasn’t really seen as a problem until the district started monitoring the air about a year later. Tests discovered levels of hydrogen sulfide, a dangerous gas normally found in raw sewage.   At a small meeting with concerned parents this past December, the district promised to get rid of the gas. However, Thursday the district called an official parent meeting announcing that despite various attempts, from changing toilets and opening vents, the gas still lingers.    "This is a priority that again we’re diverting resources, our maintenance department, plumbing, we’re spending a lot of time out here to try address this thing once and for all," Nicholas Corona, of EPISD, said.   However, with a number of parents claiming their kids are coming home with headaches, stomach aches, respiratory problems, all symptoms of exposure to hydrogen sulfide, parents like Ito Morales say it is unacceptable.  http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/18492279/detail.html

 

COHASSET, Mass. — Items hidden away for decades could be a blessing for one New England congregation.   Ten silver beakers, cups once used for communion, were kept in a safe at the First Parish Church in Cohasset for more than 50 years and very few even knew about them.  "According to Sotheby’s, they’re in pristine shape," said Galt Grant, of the First Parish Church.  Knowing they church didn’t have the ability to display the cups securely, the church decided to have Sotheby’s auction them off.   "The oldest pair goes back to 1728," said Grant.   They are estimated at being worth $100,000.  Another cup had the word "Revere" inscribed on the bottom.   While the representatives from Sotheby’s were visiting the church to see the beakers they saw a chair, built in 1720. They said it could go for anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000.  Sotheby’s vice president Kevin Tierney, the head of the auction house’s silver department, told The Patriot Ledger that the beakers will be especially attractive to collectors because they have "impeccable provenance, perfect condition and a complete and fascinating history."  In total, the auction of the beakers and the chair could fetch more than $300,000. The money will be used for upkeep of the church and the parish house. http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO101437/

German; habitational name from a lost or unidentified place called Sullenberg or from Schallenberg in Baden.

 

After World War II in 1945, the French military government created the state of Baden (originally known as "South Baden") out of the southern half of the former Baden, with Freiburg as capital. This southern half of Baden was declared in its 1947 constitution to be the true successor of the old Baden. The northern half of the old Baden was combined with northern Württemberg as part of the American military zone and formed the state of Württemberg-Baden. Both states became states of West Germany upon its formation in 1949.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden

Baden was a state of the Holy Roman Empire and later one of the German states along the frontier with France primarily consisting of territory along the right bank of the Rhine opposite Alsace and the Palatinate.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulers_of_Baden

During the Napoleonic era, in the imperial reorganisation of 1803, Baden gained a great deal of additional territory, and its rulers were made one of the few prince-electors of the Holy Roman Empire. However, this pre-eminent dignity lasted only for three years, until the end of the Empire in August of 1806, eight months after the crushing Battle of Austerlitz. Consequently, in that year, the Margraves took on the title of Grand Duke of Baden, and gained additional territory. The Grand Duchy, within approximately the borders of 1806, continued to exist until the fall of the German monarchies in 1918, when it became a republic.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulers_of_Baden

The Holy Roman Empire (HRE; German: Heiliges Römisches Reich (HRR), Latin: Sacrum Romanum Imperium (SRI)) was a union of territories in Central Europe during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period under a Holy Roman Emperor. The first Holy Roman Emperor was Otto the Great in 962.^[2] The last was Francis II, who abdicated and dissolved the Empire in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars. It was officially known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (German: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation, Latin: Sacrum Romanum Imperium Nationis Germanicæ) from the 16th century onwards

 members of the military and religious Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, sometimes called the Knights of St. John and the Knights of Jerusalem. The symbol of the Order of St. John came to be a white cross worn on a black robe; thus the Hospitalers were the Knights of the White Cross, in contradistinction to the Knights Templars, the Knights of the Red Cross. The Maltese cross has been used by various secret organizations, which have been falsely alleged to have a connection with the Knights of St. John.

http://www.answers.com/topic/cross

The order received its death blow when Napoleon Bonaparte on his Egyptian campaign took Malta (1798). The knights were compelled to leave. They chose Czar Paul of Russia as grand master by an illegal election, which was later validated. Many of the knights went to St. Petersburg. Thus a Roman Catholic order, with the permission of the pope, passed under the rule of an Orthodox emperor. The order was practically at an end. Admiral Nelson took Malta, and although by earlier agreement the island was to be returned to the knights, it was by the Congress of Vienna permanently ceded to Great Britain.  http://www.answers.com/topic/knights-hospitalers

The Knights Hospitaller (also known as the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, Order of St. John, Knights of Malta, and Chevaliers of Malta; French: Ordre des Hospitaliers, Maltese: Ordni ta’ San Ġwann) was a Christian organization that began as an Amalfitan hospital founded in Jerusalem in 1080 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian reconquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade it became a religious/military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defense of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily.

But he did an amazing job — kudos to him on that landing," said Kolodjay, who was sitting in seat 22A.  Sullenberger’s wife told CNN that she was stunned to hear the news from her husband after it was all over.

Respondents also indicated they didn’t want him to have future influence, with 66 percent saying they didn’t want to see the president return to public life. Still, Bush said during his final news conference Monday that he doesn’t plan to spend his newfound free time at the beach. We asked readers to share their views on Bush’s legacy on iReport.com.

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Officials say two men in Iran have been stoned to death for adultery and murder, while another escaped death only by digging his way out of the hole where he was buried to face a similar fate, according to media reports. The sentences follow sharp criticism by human rights groups of Iran’s use of such punishments. Judiciary spokesman Alireza Jamshidi Tuesday told reporters about the stonings, which took place in the northeastern city of Mashhad about 20 days ago, the reports said. According to the Mashhad prosecutor, the men had committed various crimes, including adultery and murder, Jamshidi said. In the practice, the men are buried up to their chests and people pelt them with stones until they die. A third was supposed to have been stoned to death, however he went free by climbing out of the stone hole. He still awaits punishment. "Stoning is a horrific practice, designed to increase the suffering of those facing execution, and it has no place in the modern world," Amnesty International said last year.

The building caught fire but all those inside escaped unharmed. Police found unexploded petrol bombs inside the second car, which did not catch fire. They said they were investigating the attack, which took place on Monday night, and had not made any arrests. Gaza connection Michele Alliot-Marie, France’s interior minister, branded the attack "stupid and revolting" and admitted she was concerned that Israel’s current offensive in the Gaza Strip could increase communal tensions in France, home to Europe’s largest Arab and Jewish populations.  http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2009/01/200916131120364625.html

   

the lamb that split the mount

Toulouse (pronounced /tu’lus/ in English, [tuˈluz] (help·info) in standard French, and [tuˈluzə] (help·info) in the local French accent) (Occitan: Tolosa, pronounced [tuˈluzɔ]) is a city in southwest France on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. With 1,133,000 inhabitants in 2008, the Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in France. Toulouse is one of the centres of the European aerospace industry, with the headquarters of Airbus, Galileo positioning system, the SPOT satellite system, and CNES‘s Toulouse Space Centre (CST), the largest space center in Europe.^[1] Thales Alenia Space, Europe’s largest satellite manufacturer, and EADS Astrium Satellites, EADS‘s satellite system subsidiary, also have a significant presence in Toulouse. Its world renowned university is one of the oldest in Europe (founded in 1229) and, with more than 97,000 students, is the third largest university campus of France after Paris and Lyon. Toulouse was the capital of the former province of Languedoc (provinces were abolished during the French Revolution). It is now the capital of the Midi-Pyrénées region, the largest region in metropolitan France. It is also the capital of the Haute-Garonne department.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse

Consequently, the most important event in the history of Toulouse was the decision to relocate the city north of the hills. A typical Roman city of straight streets was founded in the plain on the eastern bank of the river sometime at the end of the reign of Augustus and the start of the reign of Tiberius (around AD 10 –AD 30). The population was forced to relocate to the new city, still named Tolosa, while the old settlement was abandoned. Walls were built around the new city, probably at the initiative of Emperor Augustus, who wanted to create a major city at the junction of the newly built Via Aquitania and the Garonne River. Due to the Pax Romana, walls were not needed around cities, and they were only built as an imperial favor to show the special status of a city. Until the fall of the Roman Empire, the new Tolosa was to be a civitas of the province of Gallia Narbonensis (capital Narbo Martius – Narbonne), the new name of the old Provincia.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Toulouse

The Royal Family’s attitudes have been under scrutiny recently after a newspaper released video from 2006 of Prince Harry using a racial slur about a Pakistani army cadet. Harry apologized but said the expression had been used about a friend without malice. Charles’ office, Clarence House, refused to comment on the nickname. It said in a statement that it was ridiculous to imply that either Charles or his sons are racist.   http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/570328

Petition calls for provincial probe

GOOD LUCK ;

 How can you reflect on going to war, a war of choice, and argue that "not finding weapons of mass destruction was a significant disappointment," as President Bush did yesterday? And putting the "not finding the weapons" in the same breath as "We shouldn’t have hung the sign, ‘Mission Accomplished’ "!

A disappointment is when you’re a football fan and your team lost in the playoffs or in the national championship game. Eliminating weapons of mass destruction was the rationale for sending hundreds of thousands of men and women to Iraq to risk their lives and spending billions of dollars of American taxpayers’ money.  President Bush, referring to the Abu Ghraib scandal and the missing weapons of mass destruction, said, "I don’t know if you want to call those mistakes or not, but things didn’t go as planned, let’s put it that way."

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) — Federal authorities have charged a Louisiana man with threatening to kill President Bush. A social worker who met with Gregory Broussard in an emergency room last month told Secret Service agents that Broussard had threatened to kill Bush and blow up the White House, according to an affidavit in support of the criminal complaint. The circumstances of Broussard’s visit to the emergency room were not immediately clear. Broussard is expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Prosecutors will ask that he be detained, according to a written statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Broussard, of Hammond, Louisiana, told agents during an interview at a behavioral hospital that he knew how to make napalm and was a pyromaniac, according to the affidavit.  He also said he had traveled in December to the site of Huey P. Long’s assassination at the state capitol in Baton Rouge and to the governor’s mansion in preparation for protecting President-elect Barack Obama if he ever were to visit, according to the affidavit.    http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/13/bush.threat.arrest/index.html

Lorain, OH – A Lorain mother slapped with charges after neighbors found her two young children – ages three and four-years-old – wandering around outside unsupervised and without proper clothing to combat the blustery conditions. The little boy was wearing a tee-shirt, jeans with holes in the legs and untied sneakers with no socks. His sister was outfitted in a tee shift, jeans, socks and pink summer dress shoes. Both kids coats were were unzipped and they didn’t have hats or gloves. Officers recorded temperatures at 19-degrees with a wind chill of 2-degrees with blowing and drifting snow.

Obama: ‘Determined’ to break Mideast deadlock

(CNN) — President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday the suffering on both sides of Gaza’s borders has led him to ramp up his commitment to working for a peace deal in the Middle East.  When you see civilians, whether Palestinian or Israeli, harmed, under hardship, it’s heartbreaking. And obviously what that does is it makes me much more determined to try to break a deadlock that has gone on for decades now," he told ABC’s "This Week."  Rejecting criticism that he has been relatively quiet on the violence in Gaza, Obama said he believes "the one area where the principle of ‘one president at a time’ has to hold is when it comes to foreign policy. We cannot have two administrations at the same time simultaneously sending signals in a volatile situation.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/11/obama.gaza/index.html

SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) — Bartender Chris Daw had plenty of patrons to serve early Saturday at the CC Attle tavern, despite the ricin threats that it and 10 other Seattle gay bars recently received.   The threats — letters warning that patrons would be poisoned — appear to be part of the reason business was brisk. People have flocked to the 11 bars in solidarity since the letters arrived in the mail last week, Daw and others said. On Friday night, hundreds of locals participated in an organized pub crawl designed to support the establishments. "People are like, ‘Come on out. If you don’t drink, a terrorist wins,’ " Daw said. Police say they’re investigating the letters, which the bars — located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill district — received Tuesday. "I have in my possession approximately 67 grams of ricin with which I will indiscriminately target at least five of your clients. … I expect them to die painfully while in the hospital," the letters read. Ricin is a poison that occurs naturally in castor beans and can be fatal if ingested or inhaled.   http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/11/ricin.seattle/index.html

(CNN) — An aircraft carrier named after the first President Bush was commissioned Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia."Those who are sitting out there, where I was, 65 years ago, preparing to serve aboard your new ship, I wish I was sitting right out there with you," the carrier’s 84-year-old namesake told sailors at the commissioning ceremony."As you prepare to man this ship, I do know that you take with you the hopes and dreams of every American who cherishes freedom and peace, and you take with you the undying respect and admiration of the entire Bush family," ( peace, when do you people spread peace ? )he said. The 1,092-foot, 20-story USS George H.W. Bush was decorated with red, white and blue banners for Saturday’s ceremony at Naval Station Norfolk.
