Alabama Gov: Only Christians are 'Brothers and Sisters'


MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has only been in office three days, but he's already facing criticism for remarks he made the day of his inauguration.
Bentley, a Republican, told a crowd at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church on Monday that if they haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, they are not his brother or his sister.
“The governor does not have to be a seasoned politician to understand the impact of remarks like that,” said Bill Nigut, the Southeast regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. “These are remarks of a man who truly believes what he said, apparently. This seems to be quite clear that Christians are part of an exclusive relationship he has with his brothers and sisters and the rest of us are not.”
Bentley was sworn in shortly before he spoke at the church where the late civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was once a pastor. According to The Birmingham News, during his speech he said it was important for Alabamians to ''love and care for each other." He also told the crowd he is color blind. But just minutes later, he went on to say if they don’t have the same ‘daddy’ then they are not brothers and sisters.

TreasuryHunt.gov - Are You Missing Out On Some Money?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the sudden you came into money for no apparent reason? You might want to check Treasuryhunt.gov. The website is run by the government, and lists thousands of unclaimed bonds that they are trying to get to the proper owners.

According to their website, and the Long Island Press --
    * Each year, 25,000 payments are returned to the Department of the Treasury as undeliverable.
    * Billions of dollars in savings bonds have stopped earning interest, but haven’t been cashed.
    * Treasury Hunt tells you about savings bonds no longer earning interest. If you still have these savings bonds, cash or reinvest them so your money can start working for you again.

mains of Kristi Cornwell are Found


mains of Kristi Cornwell are Found  Human bones found in the woods of Northern Georgia have been positively identified as those of a woman missing since 2009, authorities announced today. Kristi Cornwell was confirmed through her dental records.
The remains were found on New Year’s Day by a passer-by in Union County, nine miles from where the 38-year-old former corrections officer disappeared on Aug. 11, 2009. The suspicion by police has been that Cornwell was kidnapped while talking to her boyfriend on her cell phone as she walked along a rural road near her parents’ house. He reported to authorities that she said a car pulled up alongside her and he overheard a struggle as she screamed, “Don’t take me!” just before the phone went dead.
