Today is Friday, May 18th, the 138th day of 2001. There are 227 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On May 18th, 1951, the United Nations moved out of its temporary headquarters in Lake Success, New York, for its permanent home in Manhattan. On this date: In 1642, the Canadian city of Montreal was founded. In 1804, the French Senate proclaimed Napoleon Bonaparte emperor. In 1896, the Supreme Court endorsed "separate but equal" racial segregation with its "Plessy versus Ferguson" decision, a ruling that was overturned 58 years later. In 1897, a public reading of Bram Stoker's new novel, "Dracula, or, The Un-dead," was staged in London. In 1911, composer Gustav Mahler died in Vienna, Austria. In 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished while visiting a beach in Venice, California; she reappeared a month later, claiming to have been kidnapped.

Five years ago: President Clinton, seeking to deflect Republican criticism that he was weak on welfare reform, endorsed Wisconsin's welfare-to-work plan in his Saturday radio address. "Louis Quatorze" won the Preakness. One year ago: Sante Kimes and Kenneth Kimes, mother-and-son grifters, were convicted in New York of murdering Irene Silverman in a plot to steal her elegant townhouse mansion.

-/\/\----------------------------------------------------------------- \ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/ --\/------------------------------------------------------------------ May 18, 2001 VERSE: ...I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. -- Philippians 1:19 http://www.StudyLight.org/desk/?query=Philippians+1:19 THOUGHT: Paul is possibly facing death. Yet he knows that his life, his future, is securely in the Lord's hands. The Holy Spirit will help empower him to be what he needs to be in the face of persecution and hardship. The Spirit will also work for his deliverance; either he will be delivered from prison and death to serve others, or he will be delivered into the presence of the Lord he loves. Either way, he awaits and expects deliverance! PRAYER: O LORD, God Almighty, please give me the courage to never waiver in my confidence in your deliverance. In addition, dear Father, I have several beloved friends who are fighting for their lives with physical problems. Please bless them with your deliverance, whether it is your healing that restores their health or your grace that insures their future is with you and your triumphant Son, Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen. http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20010518

A man took his Rottweiler to the vet and said to him, "My dog's cross-eyed. Is there anything you can do for him?" "Let's have a look at him." So the vet picks the dog up and has a good look at its eyes. "Well," says the vet, "I'm going to have to put him down." "What?" shouted the man in fright. "Just because he's cross-eyed?" says the man. "No, because he's heavy," says the vet.

America's Library http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi Welcome Greetings from the Librarian of Congress Welcome to America's Story from America's Library! This Web site is brought to you from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the largest library in the world and the nation's library. We hope you will find this Web site entertaining and fun to use. And, of course, we hope you will learn something from it. The site was designed especially with young people in mind, but there are great stories for people of all ages, and we hope children and their families will want to explore this site together. Here, you can discover what Abraham Lincoln had in his pockets on the night he was assassinated. (You will be surprised.) Or you can read about other "Amazing Americans" such as Buffalo Bill Cody and his "Wild West" show; the heroism of Harriet Tubman, who helped many slaves escape bondage; the music of jazz great Duke Ellington; or the inventions of Thomas Edison. (You will even be able to see his first motion picture!) If you think break-dancing is a new invention, then visit "Join America at Play," where you'll see a film of an early break-dancer from 1898! Ever hear of a "cloth sandwich"? You'll know what I'm talking about when you read the stories in this section. And, of course, we have many tales to tell about baseball, America's pastime -- from the "Cyclone" (pitcher Cy Young) to Jackie Robinson, a hero both on and off the field. "Jump Back in Time" and find the settlers who landed on Plymouth Rock. Or jump to a more recent age and read about be-bop, a type of music invented long before hip-hop. Do you know what happened on the day you were born? You can find out here. Want to travel across the country? Then click on "Explore the States," where you'll find fascinating facts and stories about all the states and Washington, D.C. And if you've ever wondered what the first cartoons looked like, then click on "See, Hear and Sing." You'll read about a man who in 1896 figured out how to make inanimate objects move. You know about the guitar, the piano and the trumpet, but how about the oud, the zurna and the marimba? These "oddball instruments" influenced today's modern musical instruments. If you see something you really like, then "Send a Postcard" to your family and friends, and tell them about it. You'll even get a reward if you successfully complete the Treasure Hunt or Scavenger Hunt. Be sure to let us know what you think about America's Story from America's Library, and please visit often. James H. Billington Librarian of Congress

What Are You What are you? what are you becoming? what have you become? Once you sang your own song now you're dancing to the same drum what have you become? And what is that you're wearing? money's ugly confidence You sacrificed the poem of your imagination for these pounds and pence Me I take the cynic's role throw scorn on your empty mind I've seen this monotonous world make dull what used to shine you lost interest you lost your spine oh that spine fine fine yeah When there' nothing left on this plate you're handed you find yourself running the gauntlet of all of these double standards it's very thin ice over which you're skating and after this black winter the thaw So what are you tell me tell me what are you and what have you become

Shine David Gray I can see it in your eyes what I know in my heart is true that our love it has faded like the summer run through so we'll walk down the shoreline one last time together feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts like a feather but who knows what's waiting in the wings of time dry your eyes we gotta go where we can shine Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past with your beauty so precious and the season so fast no matter how cold the horizon appear or how far the first night when I held you near you gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame step out of the shadow we've gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle for all we pretend it don't come down to nothing except love in the end and ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes but as it unfolds as it all unwinds remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise take my hand we're gonna go where we can shine we're gonna go where we can shine we're gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight moonfoam and silver I can see it in your eyes what I know in my heart is true that our love it has faded like the summer run through so we'll walk down the shoreline one last time together feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts like a feather but who knows what's waiting in the wings of time dry your eyes we gotta go where we can shine Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past with your beauty so precious and the season so fast no matter how cold the horizon appear or how far the first night when I held you near you gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame step out of the shadow we've gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle for all we pretend it don't come down to nothing except love in the end and ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes but as it unfolds as it all unwinds remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise take my hand we're gonna go where we can shine we're gonna go where we can shine we're gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight moonfoam and silver

But ......... here's another little something for you miss missi: Blonde Wins This blonde goes into a restaurant and notices there's a "peel and win" sticker on her coffee cup. So she peels it off and starts screaming, "I've won a motor home! I've won a motor home!" The waitress says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize is a mini-van." But the blonde keeps screaming, "I've won a motor home! I've won a motor home." Finally the manager comes over and says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. You couldn't possibly have won a motor home because we didn't have that as a prize!" The blonde says, "No it's not a mistake. I've won a motor home!" And she's hands the ticket to the manager and he reads . . . ....... ready for this? Keep going ........ here it comes ............ WIN A BAGEL
