Peter Gabriel: Disaster aid can benefit from technology
Haiti's devastating earthquake is reinforcing Peter Gabriel's belief that disaster relief needs to take better advantage of the digital age. The 59-year-old singer-songwriter (and former frontman for the rock group Genesis) says technology has amazing potential and cell phones can help people send money to each other. Gabriel is a techie who has been involved in different online ventures. He says is encouraged that volunteers from across the globe have come together to assist the impoverished Caribbean nation, but says people need to understand that Haiti needs more than just temporary aid. http://www.petergabriel.com/

Homeschoolers from Germany win asylum in the U.S. In a decision bound to send a shock wave through the European Union, a US federal immigration judge has granted political asylum in the United States to a German family whose members feared persecution if returned to their home country because of their decision to homeschool. The Romeike family including their 5 children are now living in Eastern Tennessee. "We can't expect every country to follow our Constitution," said the opinion by Judge Lawrence O. Burman. "The world might be a better place if it did. Germany effectively has made homeschooling illegal because of laws dating back to the pre-World War II move as Hitler rose to power and tried to make raising and training children a responsibility of the government. Mike Donnelly (Home School Legal Defense Association) noted it was the first time ever America has granted political asylum to Christian homeschoolers fleeing German persecution. HSLDA officials estimate there are some 400 homeschool families in Germany. Virtually all of them are either forced into hiding or facing court actions.

Davidson County: A Flood Warning continues for the Yadkin River at Yadkin College. Minor flooding is occurring. The River should crest later this morning…and fall below Flood Stage later tonight.
Davie and Rowan Counties are under a Lake Wind Advisory through 7pm this evening
Two teenagers were found safe last night after authorities say they tried to go kayaking in the swollen Yadkin River. The teens were found walking along Shallowford Road around 9 p.m. last night…after being reported missing for 9 hours before they were found. The boys' parents say they were not supposed to be in the water, and when the current got too rough, they got out and started walking home. http://www.myfox8.com/news/
SEISMOLOGISTS ARE URGING CAUTION IN THE REBUILDING OF HAITI. Some officials are recommending building standards like those used in California and Japan. Seismologists are warning that another earthquake, as strong or stronger than the one that struck on January 12th, could strike at any time. Haiti will remain under threat of aftershocks from that quake for several weeks.
A national coalition of women's groups including the National Organization for Women is calling on CBS to scrap its plan to broadcast an ad during the Super Bowl featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, which critics say is likely to convey an anti-abortion message.
CBS said it has approved the script for the 30-second ad and has given no indication that the protest would have an impact. The ad — paid for by Focus on the Family — is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, Pam ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida gators to win two BCS championships. www.salisburypost.com/Sports/012610-cbs

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting could be deadly.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods - even if you also exercise regularly - could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place - at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV - just the overall number of hours it occurs. Research is preliminary, but several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

WBFJ is celebrating life during Sanctity of Human Life Week
TODAY marks the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. Sanctity of Human Life Sunday is this Sunday…
Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., responded this week to Planned Parenthood's King Day press release linking the work of the abortion business to the civil rights leader. "Every year Planned Parenthood tries to imply that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would approve of what it does today because he received the Margaret Sanger Award from the organization 44 years ago, back in 1966," said Dr. King. "Every year they lie.” www.christiannewswire.com/news/427212795.html
FYI: Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. www.priestsforlife.org.
Secretary of State Clinton was presented the Margaret Sanger Award in 2009
“I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision…”
http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=32917
FYI: Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood, was a proponent of eugenics, advocating selective breeding, sterilization and euthanasia. In 1932, Sanger urged “a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”
http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=32917
The latest headlines...
Haitian government officials say an estimated 400,000 residents displaced by last week's earthquake will be moved to new villages…to be set up outside the devastated capital, Port-au-Prince. The 7.0 magnitude quake left an estimated 1.5 million people homeless, and earthquake survivors have been living outside in overcrowded camps with little or no sanitation.
http://www.voanews.com/english/news/americas/Haitian-Government-to-Relocate-400000-Displaced-by-Quake-82355357.html
If you have given monetarily to the Haitian Relief Efforts…listen up: The Senate unanimously passed legislation yesterday that will allow taxpayers to deduct cash donations to Haiti earthquake relief on their 2009 tax returns instead of having to wait to file the claims next year. Contributions made between January 12 and February 28 count toward an individual's or family's 2009 taxes. The legislation also allows contributions made through text messages to be deducted if cell phone bills are provided as proof of donation.
http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/21/pf/taxes/haiti_donations/index.htm
RECALL: Toyota has issued a NEW recall of some 2.3 million vehicles to correct a problem that could cause the vehicles' gas pedals to stick…without the presence of a floor mat. This new recall is separate from an on-going recall of 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles to correct a problem in which the pedals could become stuck under a loose floormat.
Recall info: 1-800-331-4331. http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/21/autos/toyota_recall/
Tonight is the final night for Conan O'Brien as host of the Tonight Show. Conan O'Brien signed a deal with NBC to walk away from "The Tonight Show." According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal gives Conan a severance payment of about $32 million dollars…plus about $12 million dollars for his staff. The deal also places Jay Leno (back) as host of "The Tonight Show" at 11:35pm. http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/21/news/Conan_OBrien_NBC_severance_deal/index.htm?hpt=T2
One US Airways Airbus…slightly damaged…is up for Sale…As IS? The auction of US Airways Flight 1549 ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ plane is open to the public through March 27th. The ‘famous’ wings, which have been separated from the plane, are included in the sale. The engines are not included. FYI: Flight 1549 famously landed with 155 people aboard in the frigid river waters of New York’s Hudson River by Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger last January after a bird strike disabled its engines. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/01/21/hudson.plane.sale/index.html?hpt=T2
SPORTS…NASCAR wants drivers to "mixing it up." Television ratings and attendance have slumped in recent years, officials with NASCAR plan on relaxing some rules this season and encourage drivers to be more aggressive on the track…and show more emotion off the track.
NASCAR chairman Brian France said the goal is to "open it up" as an answer to criticism that the sport has grown stale. www.wxii12.com/sports/22304050/detail.html

Your WBFJ Family Station Forecast (BEAUTIFUL) Mix of sun and clouds…High 55
The situation in Haiti…
The State Department is reporting that most of the damage from Tuesday’s 7.0 earthquake has been centered in Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti.
-Rubble caused by the quake is hindering the delivery of supplies to victims.
-The Red Cross estimates that the quake has affected about 3 million people- that’s about one third of Haiti’s population.
-Eight U-S embassy personnel have been injured, four of them seriously.
The State Department has ordered the evacuation of embassy spouses,
children and non-essential personnel.
-The US is offering military and humanitarian assistance to Haiti.
-Charlotte based Bank of America just one of many companies and organizations sending financial aid Haiti.
Half of Bank of America's $1 million dollar commitment covers a grant to the American Red Cross for the Haitian Relief and Development Fund. The other $500,000 will cover long-term recovery, including restoring basic medical services and rebuilding homes and schools.
-American Airlines is flying relief supplies to the country and other companies are donating funds and their products to the relief effort.
Some Good News: The Dominican Republic was the first country to give aid to Haiti in the aftermath of Tuesday's devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Some tensions still exist between citizens of both countries. Dominicans recall how they were treated under Haitian rule for a period in the mid-1800s. Today, Haitians provide cheap labor in the Dominican Republic, a trend that has caused resentment on both sides, not unlike the illegal immigration debate
in the US. www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/13/haiti.earthquake.dominican.republic/index.html

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A HARD FREEZE WARNING FOR THE GULF COAST AND NORTHERN THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA. Frosted oranges and strawberries encased in ice: just some of the images coming out of Florida. Another sizable industry that has suffered more than any other because of this year’s unusually long cold snap — tropical fish. The little guys are dying by the millions.

Florida provides about half of the tropical fish sold nationwide (Asia provides most of the rest), and like oranges, the colorful pets sell best in winter. www.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/us/11fish.html
GAS PRICES ARE EDGING BACK UP. Triple A reports the average price of regular unleaded gas is above two dollars and 74 cents a gallon nationwide. That's up eight cents a gallon from a week ago…almost a dollar a gallon higher than a year ago. Statewide average is $2.70 a gallon. http://www.northcarolinagasprices.com/
There's no stopping "Avatar's" "shock-and-awe" performance at the box office. For the fourth weekend in a row, James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster was No. 1 with $48.5 million, according to early estimates by Hollywood.com Box Office.
