SPOKANE — Ashley Wagner is one of the top four skaters at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, she is close to her dream of going to the Olympics.
Wagner really needs to jump from fourth place to first or second to earn a slot on the Olympic team. The United States is sending two skaters to the 2010 Olympic Games next month in Vancouver.
“My main goal here is to place in the top two,” Wagner said.
Wagner enters the final with 62.55 points, fewer than seven points from the leading group. Its three members are separated by less than a point: Mirai Nagasu, 16, has 70.06 points; comeback queen Sasha Cohen, 25, has 69.63 points; and Rachael Flatt, 17, has 69.35 points.
Christina Gao is fifth with 56.26 points.
Wagner is struggling with consistency. In December, as the lone American to qualify for the Grand Prix Final, she rallied from last (sixth) in the short program to finish fourth overall despite suffering from the flu. At last year’s nationals, Wagner’s winning free skate moved her from 12th to fourth.
Another intriguing topic buzzing around the arena — could Wagner be named to the Olympic team if she finishes third? The selection criteria, in order of priority, list this season’s national championship results, followed by the Grand Prix Final, where Wagner out-performed her U.S. counterparts, and other 2009 international events.
Wagner said she wants no favors. Finishing in the top two on Saturday, in her mind, is her ticket to the Games.
“I’d rather have people say I really did earn it instead of having it given to me,” she said.

Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have a Dream"
Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have a Dream" delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!3

Teddy Pendergrass Grazing in Heaven
Teddy Pendergrass Grazing in Heaven
Quoted from http://newsblaze.com/story/20100116174240garr.nb/topstory.html
Arrangements are set for Teddy Pendergrass, who died at age 59 Wednesday from colon cancer at a Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia. Pendergrass is in the ranks with Marvin Gaye, Barry White, and Lionel Richie as icons of contemporary R&B and soul with a seductive and romantic voice.
Pendergrass began his career in 1970 as lead singer of Harold and the Blue Notes with hits like and "Wake Up Everybody" (1976) "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (1972). The song became a hit again when Simply Red covered it in 1989 and went to number one. By the mid-late 70s, Pendergrass became a solo superstar with "Turn Off The Lights", "Close The Door", and "Love TKO". However, during his prime, in 1982, brake failure led to his Rolls Royce crashing into a tree and the singer became paralyzed from the waist down, but he was not down and out.
Like the late Christopher Reeve, Teddy Pendergrass became a spinal cord advocate as founder of the Pendergrass Alliance, and made a brief comeback at 1985's Live Aid. He continued performing and making records such as 1988's Joy, where the title song was nominated for a Grammy for "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance".
Next weekend, there will be a viewing held on January 22 at Enon Tabernacle Church in Philadelphia at 10am, and the funeral will take place the following day at West Laurel Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. They're both open to the public.
Pendergrass is survived by his son Teddy Pendegrass II and his two daughters.

Indianapolis Colts Advance to The AFC Championship Game
INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis Colts scored 2 touchdowns in two minutes at the end of the first half in their playoff game against Baltimore Ravens. The Colts beat the Ravens 20-3 on Saturday and will now advance to the AFC championship game.
The Colts will host the winner of Sunday's match between the New York Jets and the San Diego Chargers for a Super Bowl place. Peyton Manning, the Colts quarterback completed 30 of 44 passes for 246 yards. Manning broke the game open with touchdown passes to Austin Collie and Reggie Wayne in the final 2:06 of the first half.
The two scores turned a 3-3 tie into a 17-3 Colts lead from which Baltimore, one of the league's top defensive teams, never recovered.
Seven penalties and four turnovers only compounded problems for the Ravens against an aggressive Indianapolis defense.
"The defense did a tremendous job," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. "When you look at what Baltimore's been able to do to teams over the last few weeks, our defense did, indeed, play hard and played well."
Baltimore did not score a point after the Ravens' first drive, which ended with Billy Cundiff's 25-yard field goal to tie the score at 3-3.
The visitors failed to make a first down in the second quarter, and Ray Rice, who rushed for 159 yards in Baltimore's opening-round win over New England, gained only 67 against the Colts.
Manning, however, had Indianapolis on the move late in the second quarter with a 10-yard touchdown pass to rookie Collie capping a 75-yard drive and a 64-yard effort that ended on Wayne's three-yard catch.
"He does a great job of finding receivers," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "He finds a match-up. I thought we really did a good job of making that tough for him, for the most part. It wasn't easy. They had no cheap ones."
