9/11 museum offers guide
to aid commemorations
August 27, 2012 08:15 PM EST |
NEW YORK - The Sept. 11 museum at ground zero is offering a hand on planning commemorations elsewhere as the anniversary of the terror attacks approaches.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum released a remembrance guide online Monday. The guide includes a list of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attacks, interactive timelines, lesson plans about memorialization and ideas for sharing reflections through social media.
Many communities already hold their own commemorations. The museum says it gets requests from groups seeking the victims' names, educational materials or other information. So organizers say they decided to make their resources more easily available.
Almost 4.5 million people have visited the outdoor memorial since it opened last September. The accompanying museum was originally set to open this September but has been delayed amid a financial disagreement.

Comedy Corner
ETHICAL QUESTION:
You're playing in the club championship.
The match is all square after 17 holes. You hit your ball to the middle of the 18th fairway, leaving a 6 iron to the pin. Your opponent hits his tee shot deep into the woods. Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help look for his ball. Just before the permitted 5-minute search period ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot. If I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match."
You hit and your ball stops 10 ft. from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, your opponent shouts from the woods: "I found it!" You hear a club strike a ball, and the ball sails out of the woods and lands on the green -- stopping 6 in. from the hole!
The ethical dilemma: Do you pull the cheating S.O.B.'s ball out of your pocket and confront him, or do you keep your mouth shut?
