37. What life was like in America before 911 had happened? by Robert Randle  
    It is hard to imagine what America was like before September 11, 2001 because this single act of terrorism on our native soil has been the defining moment for the United States in the modern age. It is a "new reality" which serves as a constant reminder that we are not as "safe" and invulnerable as we formerly thought. While the United States may eventually prevail on the battlefield, but sadly, this country has already lost the "WAR;" primarily because no one in this country really understands what time it is and are still fighting, mostly using the conventional weapons of past global conflicts.

39. The Dove World Outreach Church offers bonfire instead of Olive branch by Robert Randle  
    With the drawdown of American Military combat forces in Iraq and additional troops and equipment to fight the insurgents in Afghanistan, all that is needed ia a little spark to ignite and fan the flames that already exist in the region of "DEATH TO AMERICA." Tthe uncoming book burning of Korans by the Gainsville, FLA Church just might turn out to be the gift that keeps on giving for al-Qaida, the Taliban and other Muslim extremists.
    
    
40. Seattle Police involved in fatal shooting of deaf man by Robert Randle  
    Notwithstanding, there are some very good, professional and dedicated police officers out there and our streets, homes and scools are much safer because of them. At the same time, there are those few who shame the badge they wear and betray the pblic trust and undermine peace and security by their unlawful conduct and lack of good judgment.
    
    
41. Inmates graduate from Seminary at San Quentin Chapel as part of Southern Baptist program by Peter Menkin by Peter Menkin  
    The program for ministry at maximum security prison San Quentin in Northern California, outside San Francisco, proves the maxim, minister where you are at the moment. For inmate Mark Baldwin, serving a life sentence, he will prove the maxim well for with his new diploma in ministry earned from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary based in the town Mill Valley, which is near the prison, will be ministering to fellow inmates for a long timelifelong.
    
    The Certificate for Ministry earned by the recent June, 2010 graduate Mr. Baldwin in the Southern Baptist tradition, as the seminary is a Southern Baptist seminary, is part of a larger and national program that applies the same maxim throughout its teaching efforts reach, which is really more than national. It is worldwide. That maxim remains the same wherever students learn and go into ministry. Minister where you are at this time in your life, and in the many places where you may be a long time in their location or place of life.
    
    
42. Seattle and King County Police Officers out of control? by Robert Randle  
    The slogan "To Protect aand Serve" is a solemn oath that Law Enforcement Officers should take very seriously and consequently they should be afforded the highest level of respect and honor, but what happens when the police violate the very Law they are sworn to protect and uphold; who are their judges? There is an old saying that with much authority/power comes much responsibility and accountability, so when a uniformed officer loses control of a situation should his outrageous behavior be chalked up as just one of the usual run-of-the-mill outbursts that comes with the job?
    
    
43. Is Vigilantism the convenient new form of crime deterrent? by Robert Randle  
    Perhaps economic uncertainty and a lack of political leadership gives rise to the spirit of "vigilantism." There tends to be a more self-protective and Conservative atmosphere along with stricter Law Enforcement support where criminal activity, whether alleged or real takes on an ominous sort of retributive activity. It is in this way of thinkingand living that the average citizen may take it upon themselves to become then sole arbitrating and ultimate judge, jury, and executioner.
    
    
44. Where have all the children gone? by Jeanne E Webster

45. Board Game causes protest from Native Americans by Robert Randle

47. TESORO Refinery fire in Anacortes, WA by Robert Randle  
    It is tragic that such an event happened at the Tesoro refinery in Anacortes, WA which resulted in the tragic deaths of at last five people and two other workers received severe burns over fifty percent of their body. The thing that probably goes unnoticed is that many of the nation's refineries and chemical plants are at least thirty years old and could present an ever-present danger to some sort of incident that happened here.

50. Slain Police Officers shock Washington residents by Robert Randle  
    Is the disparity that exists in American society which cuts across all educational, economic, and racial sectors to blame for these deadly outbursts; and if so, what is the solution before-the-fact; not after-the-fact? Unfortunately, we do not have the benefit of the aquatic telepaths in the science-fiction movie, "Minority Report," who predict criminal acts of the perpetrator before they happen. No, there is no simple answer and the anecdotes or recriminations are not helpful as they only tend to focus on the problem but offer little in the way of a solution. The thing is that recidivism among those released from incarceration is at 90% or more, and rehabilitation of inmates is quite rare and subjective at best.

    and wonder often - does He not care?
