CYBER COLUMN:
A priority on service

By John Duncan

I’m sitting here under the old oak tree, thinking in this warm winter of roses. Shakespeare once opined: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name could smell as sweet.” Speaking of sweet, for all University of Texas Longhorn football fans, the hype, the drama, the game is finally over. Texas won the Rose Bowl and the national championship.

What struck me about the game was the intensity, the challenge, the level of competition. In competition, winners and losers emerge. Texas wins. The University of Southern California loses. Vince Young, the quarterback for Texas, works his unbelievable magic, and his Texas Longhorns win the championship. Winning brings smiles. Winning means you have gained control. Winning means you have dominated. As legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne once said, “Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a failure.”

I have been interested in what allergies are and how the body responds to allergens. Like so many, I have allergies. My allergies are triggered primarily by meadow grasses. I live in the land of the cedar tree, but I do not have the reaction that some do to cedar pollen.

ATLANTA (ABP)—On Dec. 26, 2004, in an instant, a roaring wave and a rush of water changed life for coastal residents of South Asia. For some, the water took everything—personal belongings, houses, cities, friends and family. More than 225,000 people lost their lives, and those who survived were left with a profound sense of suffering and loss.
