Today we celebrate...

|

It matters little whether it is Kate Smith, Ray Charles or a crowd attending a sporting event, when they lift their voices to sing America the Beautiful, we can't help but get a little misty. From the best singers to the worst, when any voice reaches up to hit those high notes in the Star Spangled Banner, we all cheer! This is our home, a land so beautiful and full of promise that it causes people all through out its vast expanse to give all to protect it and keep it safe from harm.Today and every day we honor those people!

Assume What It Means

|

Assume. To take. That's what it means. To take what? Well, just about anything really. To take a position. To take an opinion. To take control. To take responsibility. To take a role.

We all do our fair share of assuming. In fact, that very statement is based on an assumption. It has negative meaning in nearly all of it's guises, yet can be applied to so much of what we do on a daily basis. We all have a position, an opinion, a role and a level of responsibility in our lives, but the negativity associated with the word is based on our own perspectives.

   While parishioners made their way down the river bank to the waters of the Contoocook river to be baptized, I noticed a tickling feeling around my feet.

LIVE BLOG TODAY

|

The big day in Loudon has arrived, and as we count down the minutes to the Three Dog Night concert -- oh, as well as the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 -- we welcome you to submit your comments and questions. Starting around 1:30, the Monitor Staff will be leading an interactive live blog, so leave us your thoughts on today's race, and keep on checking in straight through the checkered flag.

The streak continues

|

The streak goes on. The Nationwide Series produced its 23rd winner in 23 all-time Sprint Cup races, with Kyle Busch holding off teammate Joey Logano to claim victory in the Camping World RV Sales 200 presented by Turtle Wax. There was some contact between cars racing back to the finish, probably costing Brian Vickers a top-five finish, but otherwise a clean race really came down to a battle between two Joe Gibbs Racing teammates.

Gibbs looking good

|

With 20 laps to go, Joe Gibbs Racing is in total control of the Nationwide race at NHMS. Series points leader Kyle Busch is out front, with teammate Joey Logano right behind him, and nobody else within three seconds of the front.

50 to go

|

Joey Logano let teammate (and Nationwide Series points leader) Kyle Busch get past him to pick up five bonus points, but Busch voluntarily gave back the lead the next time by, and right now the Joe Gibbs Racing teammates are separated by less than a second. We're now within 50 laps of the checkers.

Shift at the front

|

The caution caused by a spinning Bobby Hamilton on lap 106 brought out the caution, and caused a shift in the leaders. Logano left the pits first, but because of a slow stop to fix some minor damage on the right side, previous leader Carl Edwards slid all the way back to seventh. Jason Leffler is now in second place.

Halfway home

|

They're halfway home in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Camping World RV Sales 200 presented by Turtle Wax at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire, United States of America, Earth, and after 100 laps it's Carl Edwards in the lead of a rather uneventful race.

Short day on the short track

|

Through 25 laps of the Really Long-named 200, it's still Joey Logano at the point, with Carl Edwards closely behind. Fellow Cup regulars Kevin Harvick, david Reutimann and Clint Bowyer are also in the top five, which is no surprise.
