#  ON THE SIDELINES: Roll on Braves Nation…or, is it Brave Nation?

This entire article revolves around the use of the letter “s”. To use or not to use, that truly is the question.

This past week, following the Braves and Lady Braves victories in the semifinals of the Big Smoky Mountain Conference basketball tournaments, it was announced, “Thank you to the Braves Nation for your continued support!”

That night, a friend of mine, a Cherokee High School alumni and staunch, staunch supporter of all Cherokee sports, told me it is his opinion that it should be Brave Nation, not Braves Nation.

I never thought about that at all, and I’ve used Braves Nation in articles and even as hashtags (#BravesNation) on our social media accounts here at the paper. But, it got me to thinking about all of the teams that use nation to refer to its fans.

Most team names end with the letter “s” as in Braves, Lady Braves, Tarheels, Packers, Cowboys, Raiders, Blue Devils, etc. But, many of their fan bases do not use the “s” when referring to themselves as a nation.

The Raider Nation is actually the official name for all Raiders fans. Western Carolina refers to its sports fans as the Catamount Nation. Then you have the Blue Devil Nation and their arch rivals the Tarheel Nation. Even us cheeseheads are known collectively as the Packer Nation.

I can’t say for sure when the use of the word nation came into use when referring to a fanbase, but in doing research on the topic, the earliest use I could find myself was a reference to the Steeler Nation, a phrase coined by John Facenda, narrator for an NFL Film production called “Blueprint for Victory” about the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers season.

There are examples though of times when the “s” is used as in Steelers Nation. Wait, what? Yep, the Pittsburgh Steelers official site refers to its fans as Steelers Nation even though several fansites and many references use Steeler Nation. It is a little confusing.

I found some team names used both ways. The Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos refer to its fans as Broncos Nation while the Boise St. Broncos’ fans are Bronco Nation.

Since we’re in the middle of basketball season, I was curious and researched the teams in the ACC to see how their fans refer to themselves. As far as I could find, six of the teams’ fan bases do not seem to use Nation at all including: Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia, Notre Dame, Wake Forest and Boston College. The rest all use the singular version including: Tiger Nation (Clemson), Tomahawk Nation (FSU), Tarheel Nation (UNC), Blue Devil Nation (Duke), Hokie Nation (Va. Tech), Cardinal Nation (Louisville), Panther Nation (Pitt) and Wolfpack Nation (N.C. State).

Henry David Thoreau once said, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”

So, whether you’re a member of Braves Nation or Brave Nation, it’s fine…just keep screaming for that maroon and gold.

# Top 10 Army Lessons All Men Can Learn From

This is from an AskMen.com article by a soldier who spent five years in the military including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  
“I’d grown up a lot and learned some pretty hard and important truths along the way, lessons about myself and about other people, lessons that applied as much at home as they did in combat — and perhaps why our grandfathers were right all along.”

Here are his 10 military lessons all men can learn from:

10\. Appearance matters. Ironing your uniform, polishing your boots, and shaving twice a day trains you for the real world. This guy was amazed how inappropriately some people dressed for interviews. When you look the part, you act the part

9\. You Are What You Eat (and drink). Guys at home eating trash have no excuses, says the man who ate cardboard-tasting rations for months in a desert. “Cook well, eat well, live well.”

8\. You Can’t Do Everything On Your Own. He says the “buddy system” will keep you alive in a fight. “Learn to be a team player and everything runs more smoothly.”

7\. Value Your Sleep. Sleep deprived soldiers make bad choices. Working 36-hours straight is nothing brag about. Put your head down whenever you can, otherwise you’re good to nobody.

6\. Confidence is King – Be Decisive. “There’s a fine line between arrogance and confidence as there is between stupidity and bravery, but there’s no place for uncertainty or hesitancy…”

5\. Learn from the Experience of Others. That ‘old-timer’ knows more than you… respect that fact.

4\. There Are Worse Things Than Being Bored. Soldiers that were once keen on seeing some “action” are now quiet and happy back in a rear base. Stop chasing the next thrill — being bored is not the ultimate sin. Enjoy the time.

3\. You Can’t Rely on Technology. “To the guys who couldn’t find the party because their iPhone map app wasn’t working: Next time check a real map!”

2\. You Always Have More to Give. Few of us have ever really been uncomfortable, really tired, or really in pain. You can always go faster, keep running, and push through barriers. Knowing you have the ability to keep going gives you confidence.

1\. Appreciate Your Friends. Servicemen are patriots, but they don’t die for their country or God; they do it for the men on either side of them. “We live in an age when ‘buddy movies’ suggest the height of male friendship is getting a friend out of trouble with a stripper in Vegas. I’ve seen men dead on their feet with exhaustion and knowing the threat outside the gate, stand up and volunteer to go straight back out on patrol because their mates were in trouble — that’s true ‘bromance,’ and it’s a precious thing.”

# Christian Faithfulness in the Trump Age – 10 Books

### _**The last couple of weeks have been nerve-racking.**_

Donald Trump won the presidential election, surprising many people in the U.S. and around the globe. His nomination of Steve Bannon and other prominent bigots to his staff does not bode well.

**How should we respond as the church?**

On one hand, our calling to be communities striving to be faithful to the faith of Jesus remains the same as it was prior to the election.

On the other hand, Donald Trump’s platform and allegiances seem to cast a specter of violence on those who are not white males. How do we respond faithfully to these threats of violence against our neighbors?

A number of prominent media outlets have published reading lists for understanding and navigating the Trump age, including:

  * _**The New York Times**_
  * **_The Washington Post_**
  * _**Newsweek**_



While there are many important and insightful books on these lists, we wanted to offer a similar list of theologically-informed resources that will serve to guide our churches in this new and unsettling age.  


### **1.**

### _**The End of White Christian America**_

### **Robert Jones**  
**(2016)**

White Christian America is the nostalgic vision of a “Great America” that propelled Trump to victory. Although Jones predicts its demise, he may have been a little premature in doing so. He is correct that White Christian America is waning, but apparently it has more life left in it than he expected. The history he recounts is essential to understanding the voter base that elected Trump to office.

### **2.**

### _**Trouble I’ve Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism**_

### **Drew Hart**  
**(2016)**

This insightful book gently unmasks the deep racism that has guided the American experience, and how our churches have not been immune to its power. Confessing our racism will be a necessary part of repenting and imagining a new sort of politics. For a detailed introduction to this book, see the nine-part book of the month conversation that we hosted earlier this year.

### **3.**

### _**Jesus and the Disinherited**_

### **Howard Thurman**  
**(1949)**

This classic book offers a vision of Christian faithfulness apart from the sort of civil religion that props us the systems of the rich and powerful. It is as timely today as it was when Thurman wrote it in the aftermath of WWII.
Nigeria offers $1.8 million award for info on Boko Haram

| Nigeria offers $1.8 million award for info on Boko Haram

**Nigeria has offered USD 1.8 million in reward for information leading to the capture of top leaders of the radical Islamic sect Boko Haram, whose terror campaign in the oil-rich nation has claimed hundreds of lives.**

The Joint Task Force (JTF) of the Nigerian military, that is fighting the insurgents in northern part of the country,has listed 19 persons at the head of the organisation including its self-proclaimed leader, Abubakar Shekau.

Any person who could offer information on Shekau has been promised USD 317,000 in reward while information on four persons identified as his major commanders -- Habibu Yusuk,Khalis Albarnawai, Momodu Bama and Mohammed Zangina -- would attract a reward of USD 158,000 each.

Some 14 other members, who are said to be high on the Boko Haram hierarchy, would attract a sum of USD 63,000.A JTF statement said the men were wanted in connection with terrorist activities "particularly in the north east zone of Nigeria".  


The military emphasised that the group has bombed and assassinated religious leaders, traditional rulers,businessmen, politicians, civil servants and security personnel.

Last week, Britain added another terror group that operates from the north of Nigeria -- Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan -- to its list of international terrorist organisations, with a belief that it was responsible for the recent killing of a British national in the country.

Members of the British parliament failed to disclose if Boko Haram was to be banned, according to a document made  
available to PTI by the UK High Commission in Nigeria.

Boko Haram wants to install an Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria though the region has a large number of Christians who are in minority. Boko Haram has been responsible for many attacks on mosques, churches, schools, phone masts and government buildings, and caused more than 700 deaths this year alone.
MMOG Game-Based Knowledge Conversion: An Ecological View Of Mutualistic Co-Presence

#### Abstract

This research-in-progress study aims to extend the research on Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) collaborative learning by theoretically exploring the role of virtual co-presence from an ecological perspective. Although a growing number of researchers has started to investigate learning behaviors of digital native in the MMOG virtual environment, the study for theoretical justification of collaborative behavior and motivational profile of players in MMOG is still under-researched. To bridge this gap, this study applies concepts from ecology, namely biological interactions, and integrates with technology-based collaborative learning streams of research to theoretically explore the patterns of knowledge conversion in MMOG. Based on existing literatures, this study proposes two constructs of co-presence based on the theory of symbiosis in the field of ecology on biological interaction to explain and predict gamers’ motivational profile and participation in knowledge conversion mode in the MMOG game-based learning, Also, this study proposes a multiple method approach (including field observation, self-reported survey and focus group interview) to test four hypotheses that advocate the research potentials of MMOG in future research.

#  Mel Ramos 

In 1963 Mel Ramos, one of the first artists to embrace Pop Art, developed a preference for a tantalizing, seductive visual language. In typical Pop Art colors, beauty queens and nude Hollywood stars are combined with commodities to populate his paintings. In accordance with advertising aesthetics, he placed female bodies in erotic, occasionally vulgar poses on top of consumer goods, thus taking his theme from advertising’s enduring slogan, “sex sells.”

#  Waterkotte Harley-Davidson sold, now Roadhouse HD 

IRVINE, CA and MOUNT VERNON, IL – Waterkotte Harley-Davidson in Mount Vernon has been sold to Rodney Cabaness and renamed **Roadhouse Harley-Davidson**. Irvine, CA-based Performance Brokerage Services handled the transaction.

This is the third owner for the Mount Vernon dealership in 17 years.

Gary Surdyke acquired then-Dale’s Harley-Davidson from Dale Walksler in 2000 and operated the dealership for several years afterward. “Gary and Linda Surdyke have 10 children, all of which grew up in the Harley-Davidson business. As an attempt to pass the business onto their children, Gary offered the dealership to his daughter, Rebecca, and her husband, Matt Waterkotte, who changed the name to Waterkotte Harley-Davidson in 2014,” the brokerage firm explained.

Surdyke contacted Performance Brokerage Services’ George Chaconas “to help my daughter and son-in-law sell Waterkotte Harley-Davidson,” he said. “It was a very complicated and difficult transaction, and I want to thank George for his perseverance, professionalism and commitment to seeing the deal through to closing.”

Cabaness also owns and operates **Black Diamond Harley-Davidson** , 40 miles away from Mount Vernon, in Marion, IL. Roadhouse Harley-Davidson will remain at its current location at 205 N 44th St. in Mount Vernon.

“It was a pleasure working with the Surdyke and Waterkotte families, and I wish them luck on their future business endeavors,” Chaconas said. “I wish Rodney Cabaness much success with his strategic acquisition.”

# Furniture Classics helps furnish wounded veteran's home

NORFOLK, Va. — Accent and dining furniture specialist Furniture Classics has partnered with Wind Farm Interiors, an interior design boutique in Mobile, Ala., to help furnish the home of a veteran who was wounded in the war in Afghanistan.

Marine Cpl. Christopher Montgomery lost both his legs and the use of his left arm after an explosive device detonated while he was on patrol. He was flown to Germany, then home to the U.S. where he underwent a lengthy recovery. 

Homes for Our Troops and other volunteers helped build Montgomery a home in West Mobile that is tailored to his needs. After hearing that he needed furniture, Wind Farm Interiors stepped in to help furnish the home. Furniture Classics sales representative Steve Cathell also learned of Montgomery and contacted other sales reps and staff at Furniture Classics to assist in the effort.

Furniture Classics donated a $4,000 dining table and four chairs for the home. The company also matched each dollar donated by staff and presented Montgomery a check for more than $3,000.

Doug Ricks, the owner of Furniture Classics, who also has served in the Marines, said in a statement, "Freedom is not free, and this young man has paid a significant price for the freedoms we enjoy. It is an honor to stand along with this brave hero and assist in his time of need."

Additional contributions for Montgomery can be made to:
