Holmes Park, Lincoln, NE
The event will be held at Holmes Lake on the northeast side of the lake and will be sponsored by a variety of churches and peace and justice groups. The primary groups are Nebraskans for Peace, First Mennonite Church, Lutheran Justice and Advocacy Ministries, Blue River District, UMC/Nebraska Conference, and First United Methodist Church. The last of these furnishes the insurance coverage that makes this event possible, and the Lutheran ministry furnishes the sound system. The full list of sponsors will be announced at the event.
Lantern floats in Japan are used to guide the souls of the dead to their rest; for many years in recent times they have been used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki to commemorate the people destroyed by the first atomic bombs. The purpose of the event in Lincoln is to remind us of what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to will that such events never again occur, even though we hear that in several areas of the world the nuclear option has not been taken off the table.
Sunset occurs on August 9 at about 8:30 PM; darkness will come about one-half hour later. more…

As Tehran tests new missiles, America believes only a show of force can deter President Ahmadinejad
The one thing that all sides agree on is that any strike by either Iran or Israel would trigger a catastrophic round of retaliation that would rock global oil markets, send the price of petrol soaring and wreck the progress of the US military effort in Iraq.

Fifty years ago, at the height of the Cold War, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit the earth, bringing America to its knees in awe — then fear. Initially thrilling as a marvel of science, Sputnik was soon viewed by Americans as a weapon of mass destruction. SPUTNIK MANIA explores the rapid series of events that delivered the world’s super-powers to the brink of nuclear war, and the story of two ex-generals whose private agreement prevented it.
