Behind the Blog with Barnabas Piper
Barnabas Piper has put some thinking into sports. Actually, he has put a lot of Christian thinking into sports. Writing weekly for WorldMag.com, Barnabas has had a steady voice on what we can learn about God in America's favorite entertainment.
So when Barnabas was recently in Minneapolis, we were eager to pull up a chair and pick his brain a little more. He starts by explaining that if Christians engage the culture through the arts, sports shouldn't be excluded. It is more than "caveman entertainment" and there are precious truths to mine.

Looking Evil in the Eye
Joseph's brothers realized something we should never forget.
It comes at the end of the story in Genesis 50. This is a long time after the brothers conspired together against Joseph. A lot had happened since then — since they hated their brother enough to sell him to Midianite traders for twenty shekels of silver (Genesis 37:28). That was the evil that started it all.
They grieved their father, Jacob, with a lie about Joseph's death (Genesis 37:32–35). Joseph eventually was enslaved to Potiphar in Egypt, that is, until Potiphar's wife slandered him (Genesis 39:11–20), had him thrown into prison (Genesis 39:19–20), and the cupbearer forgot him (Genesis 40:23). Years passed and then the fami…
When the Bombs Exploded in Boston
Word of the Boston bombings hit Twitter before they hit CNN or any other news network. And as the video clips of the bombings began to emerge, my heart responded in shock and horror. Our hearts are wired to respond to atrocities like this, whether we're near or far from the scene. Humans are complex creatures with a remarkable range of emotions, even at the same time. The Bible helps us understand the right way to react, and in the midst of tragedy, I want to respond appropriately. But I also know a simple response will not do.
Here's something of a play-by-play of my own heart-response from yesterday afternoon and evening and today, and I'll post my thoughts not as a model to be followed …
The Legacy of John Piper in the Lives of Real People (Video Tribute)
Sunday night, Bethlehem thanked God publicly for 33 years of John Piper's pastoral ministry. As part of the celebration, Bethlehem partnered with Desiring God and Bethlehem College & Seminary to produce a 19-minute video tribute to Pastor John.
Here the storyline is told through the testimonies of five people — a pastor, a mother, a missionary, a student, and an inner-city worker — all powerfully touched by God through John's ministry, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. As you watch, thank God with us for his work in and through John, and pray with us for more stories of God's grace as John continues to write and speak.
More on John Piper's transition:
"Give Us More" (Recap of the Piper Recommissioning at Bethlehem)
EDEN PRAIRIE, MN—There are a few rare cases where the legacy of a faithful preacher is marked by his books. Think of the shelf-filling works of a Martyn Lloyd-Jones or a Charles Spurgeon. Maybe the same will be true of John Piper.
But on Sunday night all three campuses of Bethlehem Baptist Church gathered in one auditorium to witness to the impact of John Piper's 33-year preaching legacy in the Twin Cities. The evening included testimonials, congregational worship, an orchestra and adult choir, a children's choir, and one choir comprised of 70 children adopted during Pastor John's tenure at Bethlehem.
Pastor John has his own growing legacy of books, of course, but for two and a half hour…
Recommissioned and Ready to Launch
For 33 years Bethlehem put bread on our table. They paid our salary. They didn't muzzle this ox while he was treading out the grain (1 Timothy 5:18). They were the hands of God in meeting our needs. I am profoundly thankful. It was a sweet and powerful farewell last night — and included a special recommissioning from the elders for a final chapter of ministry beyond Bethlehem.
Now I'm treading out the grain at Desiring God. The muzzle is still off. I get my first DG paycheck today. My title in this new role is Founder and Teacher. My job is full time, divided over "Content Creation," "Fundraising and Donor Relations," "Board Leadership," "Staff Leadership," and "Other."

Wimpy Theology Makes Wimpy Women

What Do You Think of Your Influence On Christian Hip Hop? (Episode 68):
A lot of hip hop lyrics are stories. They move with a narrative which gives it an advantage of telling a story about someone's experience or the movement of the history of redemption. Another factor about it that gives it remarkable clout, I think, is what I call linguistic energy. The hip hop I listen to is phenomenally energetic, …
Meet the New John Piper
"I feel like I'm 22 again," says the newly transitioned John Piper.
Now that his pastorate at Bethlehem Baptist Church has officially ended, Piper says he feels like a recent college grad who is free to do anything God lays on his heart. "When you have that much freedom, you're really faced with significant 'don't waste your life' choices." He plans to seek God in a focused way in the next year as to how to invest his next 10 or 15 years, if God would give that many.
This past week Piper sat down with Collin Hansen of The Gospel Coalition to talk about his hopes for the future, including some reflections on his past 33 years as a pastor and how that has shaped him for what's next.
More Than an Afterthought: Six Reasons Jesus's Ascension Matters
Have you marked your calendar for Ascension Day on May 9? How many of us have even heard of Ascension Day? Or perhaps just a sermon about Jesus's ascension into heaven? It is impossible to overstate the importance of Good Friday, when Jesus died for our sins, and Easter Sunday, when he was raised from the dead — but Jesus's earthly ministry did not stop there.
After the resurrection, Jesus taught his disciples about God's kingdom for forty days (Acts 1:3) and then he was "taken up" to heaven (Acts 1:2, 11). The cross and empty tomb are at the very heart of the gospel message proclaimed by Jesus's followers throughout history (see 1 Corinthians 15:1–4). However, for many evangelical Christia…
The Many Deaths of Adoniram Judson
John 12:24–25 records these words from Jesus:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
In other words, a fruitful life comes from this: dying like a seed in what looks like hating your life in this world. This is the legacy of Adoniram Judson, America's first foreign missionary, who died so many times and in so many ways.
Today, on the 163rd anniversary of Judson's physical death, we direct you to two resources that might encourage you:

The "wall of wind" can create Category 5 strength winds up to 157 miles per hour. (CNN/WSVN)
Updated: Wednesday, 22 Aug 2012, 7:27 AM EDT
Published : Wednesday, 22 Aug 2012, 7:27 AM EDT
MIAMI (AP/CNN/WSVN) — This week marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew's destruction on South Florida.
The Category 5 storm left at least 15 people dead and more than 150,000 people homeless. Its 165 mph winds caused more than $25 billion in damage.
Andrew flattened homes, uprooted trees and destroyed suburban blocks for miles around. Andrew was one of just three Category 5 storms to strike the U.S. in the past 160 years.
Tent cities cropped up and food lines, curfews and patrolling soldiers became the norm in Miami-Dade County.
Fast forward 20 years later and there's a big project under way at the Florida International University's International Hurricane Center. Their "wall of wind" can create Category 5 strength winds up to 157 miles per hour. Scientists hope these tests can help make structures stronger and can keep catastrophes like Hurricane Andrew's destruction of homes from happening again.

About five years ago sculptor Tim Bruckner pitched an idea to DC Direct for a line a small scale busts called "DC Xtreme". The concept was to push well outside the box to create versions of well known characters with a decided twist. This would have been an interesting alternative to the standard "heroic" and or iconic busts being done by many companies including DCD. "DC Xtreme" was about pushing the envelope and giving fans a new interpretation on some classics.
This Joker (5.25" tall) was something Tim created in his own time to illustrate the point and pitch to the DC powers that be. DCD expressed some interest and so, for a couple years, it remained in discussion. "The point of the project," said Tim, "was to offer fans something cool (hopefully), different and inexpensive." The target price was to be about $25.00. Unfortunately the project never materialized. After awhile, whenever the project was mentioned it was discussed as either part of a larger project, as in pieces in a chess set or that it was considered too outside of mainstream taste to be successful.
This bust has been shown around a few places, on a few sculptor boards that Tim visits, on Tim's site, there was even an unpainted casting of it Tim gave to a fellow DCD sculptor that showed up on Ebay a few weeks back. I thought our 2nd anniversary was the perfect time remember this "lost" piece that most fans have never seen.
Last year, master sculptor Tim Bruckner launched his own website showcasing much of his work over the past 10 years. It's not a complete history by any means, as there are still items that he wishes he could re-do or that would never have seen the light of day. But it is well worth taking some time to poke around and see what the original figures and paint masters look like before they change in the manufacturing process. Tim not only does the photography for all of his work, but he paints and casts all of his own figures as well. Seeing those original paint masters alone is worth carving out some time in your day to poke around the new site and see all the angles. Tim's site not only shows off his extensive body of work for DC Direct, but also work from other toy companies and a few surprises if you dig deep enough..
A big "Thank you" to Tim Bruckner for this opportunity to take a closer look at this lost piece

ASUS on late Friday introduced its first gaming-specific laptops, targeting desktop replacements and frequent LAN party travelers. The unveiling confirms earlier information about the new systems such as their specially-highlighted W/A/S/D keys and built-in 1.3-megapixel webcams, but also reveals new information about unique hardware features. Both the 15-inch G1 and 17-inch G2 incorporate a small OLED display ahead of the Escape key that can display useful text updates during gameplay from instant messages, reminders, and even caller ID, according to ASUS. The company has also surrounded each design with speakers on the sides and front as well as lights that respond to high-intensity visuals. Both ship with dynamic color contrast that can adjust to gameplay or low light. Performance details and photos follow after the jump.

WRESTLING: Hodge an MMA star ahead of his time
Published February 19, 2009 at 7 p.m.
Jim Ross believes pro-wrestling fans from the 1960s and 1970s are lucky that mixed-martial-arts fighting didn't exist at that time.
If it had, Dan Hodge might have become an MMA superstar rather than one of grappling's top junior-heavyweight performers for 17 years.
As chronicled in Mike Chapman's new biography, Oklahoma Shooter: The Dan Hodge Story ($22.95; Culture House Books), Hodge was tailor-made for combat sports. Even today's top Ultimate Fighting Championship competitors don't carry the same credentials as Hodge, who became the only U.S. athlete to ever win national titles in both collegiate wrestling and Golden Gloves boxing during the 1950s.
With MMA not becoming popularized in the U.S. until the mid-1990s, that genre wasn't an option for Hodge after he quit a short-lived pro-boxing career. So, like some of his amateur wrestling contemporaries, Hodge turned to pro wrestling.
"If Dan were in his prime today, he would dominate MMA," said Ross, the legendary World Wrestling Entertainment announcer who idolized his fellow Oklahoman.
"He could take down any man alive and possessed perverse punching power. Dan's grip was crippling, which would have boded well in MMA. Losing would not have been an option."
Not that it often was in pro wrestling.
Working primarily in Oklahoma and surrounding states in what was known as the Mid-South territory, Hodge enjoyed eight world-title reigns as the National Wrestling Alliance junior-heavyweight champion. Although never much of a showman, Hodge treated fans to technical clinics as he displayed a wide array of moves culled from his days as a 174-pound amateur champion. Hodge also didn't shy from putting a real-life hurting on any opponent who didn't cooperate in the ring or wasn't in good enough condition to stage a lengthy bout.
"When I started, I had no idea that I would be the next junior- heavyweight champion," the 76- year-old Hodge said last week in a telephone interview. "I worked hard and stayed in shape not only for the matches but the fans, too. I wanted them to see the best in the world. When I stepped in the ring, they saw wrestling."
Hodge was so tough that he even survived a career-ending 1976 auto accident that broke his neck.
At the time, he was working a rigorous schedule that included regular tours of Japan as well as lengthy road trips for weekly Mid-South shows in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas.
Driving between cards in Louisiana, an exhausted Hodge lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a canal. He said he escaped by forcing his way through a cracked windshield and swimming to shore while keeping his head upright with one hand.
"When you're underwater, you're not sure where you're at, and life passes through you very quickly," Hodge said. "I was thinking, 'What an awful way to go,' when a voice told me, 'Hold your neck.' It was a blessing that I got out, and I thank God I am not paralyzed."
Just because he was forced to retire from pro wrestling doesn't mean the soft-spoken Hodge has faded from the spotlight.
He remains so revered in the industry that he made a cameo appearance on a 2005 episode of WWE's Monday Night Raw and was honored last year at a show in Japan.
Hodge is even more popular on Oklahoma's amateur-wrestling circuit. He still religiously attends meets and annually presents the Dan Hodge Award to the nation's top collegiate performer (Hodge was 46-0 and a three-time NCAA champion at the University of Oklahoma).
And to this day, Hodge's grip remains so strong that he can crush an apple in his hand.
"Along with Jim Thorpe and Mickey Mantle, Dan Hodge is the greatest athlete the state of Oklahoma has ever produced," said Ross, who wrote the foreword for Chapman's book.
"If ESPN and the Internet were around when Dan was winning national titles in wrestling and boxing, Hodge would be a household name. Hodge's physical and mental toughness are still legendary, especially for a man with the soul of a saint who hated losing.
"In 35 years (in wrestling), I've never met a pro wrestler that could hang with Hodge without the showbiz element factored into the equation. Dan Hodge could be the best-kept secret in sports."

Meeting Ten: Globalization, Development, and Aid
Main debate: Is trade and financial liberalization the best approach for generating economic growth in developing nations?
Discussion questions:
1. A protectionist strategy of import substitution was adopted by most developing nations prior to the 1980s. What problems does this type of strategy generate for developing nations? Is it a viable strategy?
2. What lessons can be drawn from the success of the East Asian nations which shifted from import substitution to outward-oriented strategies in the 1950s and 1960s? (Contrast Dollar and Kraay's interpretation of the evidence with the conclusions drawn by Rodrik. Which claims do you find most convincing?)
3. The Oxfam analysis makes clear that success of outward-oriented growth strategies for developing countries depends in part upon the trade policies of the advanced nations. What are the areas where trade barriers in the North create the largest problems for developing nations? What types of reforms of U.S. policy do you advocate?
4. Is debt relief for highly-indebted developing nations a good idea?

Television and radio reception problems can be caused by a number of issues, including deficiencies in receivers or faulty antenna installations. In some cases, broadcasting services may be too far away for reception to be reliable in a particular area.
This section of the website includes detailed information on:
- radio reception and interference
- analog television reception and interference
- retuning your VCR or Pay TV set-top box
You can also download the ACMA's Better Radio and Television Reception booklet for comprehensive information on analog television & radio reception and interference problems. The booklet provides illustrations and descriptions that will help identify the most likely cause of the interference, and includes solutions to a range of common problems.
Assistance to investigate and diagnose reception problems can be obtained from the ACMA.

These smokin' hot shots are taken from the March issue of Attitude, which features Daniel Radcliffe on the cover wearing a lovely Jil Sander jumper that apparently costs as much as THIRTEEN tickets to see Madonna in Hyde Park this summer.
Of course, not everything comes back to Madonna (though post-Super Bowl, most things probably should). We hate to get too seriousface on you, but the latest Attitude is an important one - it's a special anti-homophobic bullying youth issue in which Daniel Radcliffe reveals himself to be a genuine mensch. After reading the interview, we actually felt bad for falling asleep during at least four of the Harry Potter films.
Anyway, the new Attitude is out now both "on tablet" and "on newsstands" and if you avoid the horribly shonky review of the Lana Del Rey album, you'll have absolutely no regrets. Yes, like just You Know Who circa 1995.

Eleven years ago in 2002 Rev. Paul Sinclair founded Motorcycle Funerals Limited, Britain's first ever motorcycle hearse service. Paul, who has served at funerals for 25 years, believes we should reflect people's lifestyles in their funerals. "No one submits a Protestant to a Muslim service or places an Everton fan in a Liverpool strip when they die so why should motorcycle enthusiasts be last seen in an automobile?"
Motorcycle Funerals Limited covers the whole of the UK from Cornwall, Devon and Kent to Aberdeenshire, the Welsh and Anglia coasts and even out to the islands. Wherever you are, don't worry, just call.
We serve both the non-religious and religious communities UK-wide with the most professional motorcycle hearses in the world.

A door creaks, footsteps echo, someone's breathing - and we are terrified. But why? Sean Street investigates the psychology of fear, so potently sensitive to sound. Talking to musicians, writers, film-makers, neuro-scientists and sound researchers, he investigates how sounds trigger fear. He discovers the importance of context, asks whether sound and fear are culturally specific and hears how scary sounds are created. He also experiences what might be the most frightening sound of all - absolute silence. Through the whole programme are woven an array of scary sounds, noises and music, from foxes fighting in the north London night to cicadas in the jungle, from the voices of the Daleks to the music from the film 'Psycho', and from a tiger to a rain drop. Producer: Julian May.

American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition
- n. A poem or song of mourning or lamentation.
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A song of lamentation; a dirge; especially, a poem composed for the occasion of the funeral of some personage.
GNU Webster's 1913
- n. A song of lamentation; a threnode.
WordNet 3.0
- n. a song or hymn of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person
- From Ancient Greek θρηνῳδία (thrēnōidia, "lamentation"), from θρῆνος (thrēnos, "lament, wail, dirge") + ᾠδή (ōidē, "song"). (Wiktionary)
- Greek thrēnōidiā : thrēnos, lament + aoidē, ōidē, song; see ode. (American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)
"Now I know there are a lot of words that will be used between storied, but threnody is a sufficiently unusual one as to catch my attention."
"Now for those of us who do not know what that word means right off hand (I had to look it up as I was reading a passage from Ralph Waldo Emerson long ago), a threnody is a song or hymn inspired by the grief of losing someone you love."
"As written, the diphthongization is a kind of threnody in its own right."
"Ralph Waldo Emerson long ago), a threnody is a song or hymn inspired by the grief of losing someone you love."
"For those of us who do not know what [the] word [ 'threnody']"
"House of Exile is a bold, inventive and often haunting threnody for European letters in a terrible century."
"The riot of imagery and emotional inflation in the short feminist allegory "The Call," in the long poem "The Children of the Moon," or in the blazing threnody "A Litany at Atlanta" suggested trances, gnostic visions, dark nights of the soul, and, as one perceptive biographer observed, other intensely religious moments that are surprising at first to see in an agnostic and publicly restrained Du Bois."
"In fact, its tensions could have as much to do with the exquisite intensity of love -- Barber didn't intend it as a threnody -- but Alsop and the orchestra did nothing to go against the prevailing view; it got a gentle, modulated performance from the orchestra's rich strings."
The Washington Post: In performance: Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
"Nothing will come of it," said Robert Bossu resignedly in Hugh Beringar's ear, when the two monodies had declined at last into one bitter threnody."
"In singing KBR's threnody I relied on the death of Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth who when stepping into the shower in a barracks electrically wired by KBR was electrocuted instead of washed."

Eating Breakfast
DON'T: Skip breakfast before you leave for work.
Passing on breakfast is dangerous, warns Bellinson. "Morning starvation is bad for Mother and Baby," she says. "Not eating enough can make you dizzy and weak."
If you're running to catch a bus or train (or even sitting in a car), you need food to keep you going and alert. Bellinson recommends a balanced breakfast with a glass of milk, toast, and fruit. If you can't sit for a meal, opt instead for quick, healthy snacks such as a granola bar or fruit. Once you get to the office, make sure to eat something more.
Drinking Water
DON'T: Drink too much water or other liquids before your commute.
DO: Drink a small glass of milk, juice, or water before you leave and drink up once you get to the office.
Your pregnant body needs plenty of fluids, yet you don't want to be on a long commute with a full bladder and no restroom. "Not only is a full bladder uncomfortable," says Bellinson, "but it can lead to bladder infections, which can then lead to kidney infections."
Instead of drinking a full glass of water at the beginning of the day, Bellinson advises commuters to drink a small amount before work and to bring a water bottle. Before you get to the office, start drinking (when you know a bathroom is nearby). When you get to work, keep drinking.
Managing Nausea
DON'T: Ignore nausea symptoms.
DO: Stash snacks in your pockets.
You may experience moderate to severe nausea at the beginning of your pregnancy—and a commute certainly doesn't help. Some pregnant women avoid eating hoping to escape an upset stomach. That's a mistake, says Bellinson. Instead, she suggests keeping your symptoms in check with nuts such as almonds or cashews, whose essential oils help reduce nausea. If nuts don't appeal to you, try other pregnancy staples such as saltines or graham crackers. Keeping something in your stomach, says Bellinson, is more soothing than traveling on empty.

Can be possible to "desintegrate" the open eyes' Nightmare of Nuclear Energy ?? Two perhaps "Crazy2 Ideas: 1) It could be through the use of Trees in Containers(it would be necesary to see which would be more appropriates), that could absorve the Radioactivity through their Roots. 2) May be that the weird Idea of the "esoteric nature" of the influence of Piramids on things in their inside could be true . . . perhaps more puting Radioactive Materials in the inside of Spherical Geodesic Domes. Cheers from a "lunatic domension"

I have been growing up with the danger of a "nuclear war" - for all of us it was always clear, that we all will see such an end. . . . . .the "nuclear potential" is STILL there. . . . . .Cernobyl(Ukraine 1986) is NOT forgotten - as well as many, many other "acciddents", the Barents-Sea (Russia/Arctis) has got ticking nuclear "time bombs" , . . . . . .Nuclear weapons are a sign of strength, power, whatever. . . . . .Synnie - if You read THIS : do you remember, what EINSTEIN said, when he was asked about "World War III" ?. . . Scientists were analyzing before, what sort of plants do "survive" after a "nuclear hit" - some sort of "mustard-grasses" (I don`t know the correct English botanic name). A very interesting report comes from Cernobyl(Ukraine) - "20 Years After". . .since that "accident" the whole area is "forbidden territory/area" - we find that the NATURE took over again the whole area : many, many wild animals (wild boars for example) can be found here like probably nowhere else in the European part of former CCCP. Huge trees have been growing on the former football-stadium . . . The "best friend" of Planet Earth is "TIME" - "time can heal wounds". . .this globe has already been seeing many things, but it shows, that NOTHING is everlasting. . . .any ROOTS and PLANTS to absorb radio-activity ? or sth. else, that nature can deliver us ?

Cimber, its not exactly as you say in the Ukraine. By far not. Many animals are gone from the near surrounding areas, there just has been a longer article in the newspaers here. And then we also have these more gigantic, thus unnatural growths over there. Its by far not over and will take a loong time, even if we do not wish to see this. Also about nuklear waste, there are many troubles, and dangers, that are often wiped under the carpet, but we are only at the beginning to face them coming up. In Hiroshima, where I also was, the signs are minor nowadays, but a visitor does not know or see exactly, what it has done and still does to the genetic material, for instance. And in relation to the later sizes of desasters like Cernobyl, one could even say, they have been lucky, to get a new cosmetic design. Only, visitors like me have friends there and friends of friends, and several according films/informations, far beyond the Make up. etc. Same with the Ukraine. . .and thats not funny. If there are several boars or other animals, it just ys, since no human is there to disturb them, they settled in this of course wild, but nevertheless contaminated area. They would in any undisturbed (by men) area, btw. Thats no pro nuklear bonus at all. If wood could absorb all that, I really don't know, nor do I think so. What do scientists say to this?

MICHELLE: I really loved this movie. But it wasn't my first choice. I wanted to see "Flight" with Denzel Washington. Because I'm a fan and it looked like a film about a flawed heroÉwhich I usually like. "Cloud Atlas" was a compromise between "Flight" and "Man With The Iron Fist." I was not in the mood for a martial arts movie. He wasn't interested in Denzel. The compromise worked out very well for me.
ALLEN: I wasn't in the mood for a movie filled with angst. I wanted a little fantasy. This movie basically has it all because it has segments taking place at assorted times in history. It's ambitious and mostly successful at meeting that ambition. I have to say I really appreciate that this movie was not in 3D. I think the creators probably felt they had a solid enough film to forgo gimmicks.
MICHELLE: We see a lot of movies, like everyone else does — at a theatre. Seeing as many as we do, you tend to be on the lookout for something different. After a while, the guy-seeking-revenge-for-his-wife/daughter/whatever looks a little boring. So does the non-parents-stuck-with-kids-they-never expected. This movie is special because it's about the moments that change your life — whether you choose to get involved and fight the good fight, or go along with something because that's easier. It's an important theme.
ALLEN: It's about the continuations
MICHELLE: A visually magnetic movie, it pairs high concept design with action-filled plots and decent performances all around. It also has different actors playing parts in a list of vignettes which illustrate that people are the same throughout the ages. The future sequence is much like the past, but it's not overcomplicated or preachy.
ALLEN: This was made by the same team that made "The Matrix." Like that film, this film delves into deep ideas in a very entertaining manner. It's well worth the cost of admission.

Last updated: 12/02/2013 // Elisabeth Rasmusson has been appointed Assistant Executive Director in the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
International Development Minister Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås commented, "I congratulate Elisabeth Rasmusson on getting this job. The World Food Programme saves lives. It brings food to people suffering from need, war and famine. We need more Norwegians who are willing to take on challenging international tasks."
The World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian organisation and plays a key role in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide commented, "I am pleased that Ms Rasmusson will be leading this work. She is a very good choice for this demanding position, and will be one of the highest placed Norwegians in the UN system."
Ms Rasmusson is currently Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council. In her new position she will be one of four top managers under WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin.
"The World Food Programme distributes food, food vouchers and cash to around 100 million people all over the world every year. It also provides logistical assistance to other humanitarian organisations, in the form of aircraft, ships and trucks," said Mr Holmås.
"Partnerships with other multilateral organisations, civil society organisations and the private sector are important for the World Food Programme to be able to meet its goals," said Mr Eide.
Ms Rasmusson has extensive international experience. She has been Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council since 2008. She has previously worked as field coordinator for the UN in Angola, delegate for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Colombia, deputy head of the OSCE mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Norwegian Refugee Council's representative in Georgia. She has also been a member of the CERF Advisory Group.
The World Food Programme has an annual budget of around NOK 25 billion. Norway provides around NOK 250 million a year to assist in addressing crisis situations all over the world. WFP is Norway's most important humanitarian partner due to its ability to provide emergency relief on a large scale in difficult and often dangerous situations. It is regarded as one of the most effective reform-minded UN organisations.

The call for the removal of DOW Chemical's sponsorship from the London Olympics, by the survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy, is not just about denied justice but also about the denial of responsibility by the company
By Ramlath Kavil and Supriya Madangarli
The Olympics, the world's biggest sporting event, has courted controversies from its inception. An event that took off as a religious celebration in ancient Greece, has in modern times witnessed everything: bribing, bullying, doping, sexism, racism, political manipulation — you name it, the Games would claim it.
The latest controversy arose when the International Olympic Committee took on the Dow Chemical Company as World-Wide Partner for the Olympics and for the Olympic Movement. Dow Chemical, the world's second-largest chemical manufacturer, also paid a whopping £7 million for a decorative wrap for the London Olympic Stadium.
Ever since the details of the agreement surfaced, the survivors of one of the world's worst industrial disasters, the Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984, along with social activists, environmentalists, athletes and human rights groups including Amnesty International and the Indian Olympic Association, have been demanding that Dow be dropped as the main sponsor from the 2012 Olympics. Adding weight to the protest, Meredith Alexander, member of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012, resigned earlier this year. She demanded that Dow take responsibility for one of the worst corporate and human rights violations of her generation.
Twenty-eight years after the lethal gas leak at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticides plant that may have killed more than 20,000 (and counting) people and injured half a million, Bhopal is still an open wound in India. Mothers are still delivering babies with severe deformities, the young and old have been fighting chronic health problems ranging from psychological and neurological disabilities, to vision and breathing related disorders. A curative petition is still pending in the court and no final compensation has been made.
In 2002, a Dow Chemical spokesperson reportedly stated the 1989 compensation that amounted to $500 per person should be good enough for an Indian, a statement which the company later retracted. One of these "Indians" is Halimanbi, who was named Sinhourwali (the lioness) by her colleagues for her unrelenting fiery participation in the struggle for justice. Today, in her late 70s, she has lost the vision in her eyes, but not any of her passion. Sitting in a 60-square-foot "home" with a mud floor and broken aluminum sheets for a roof, beside a few empty vessels and a broken-down cupboard, Sinhourwali stares sightlessly as her hands grope for her supari box. Her husband, Abdul Hamid, drags himself beside her and picks up the box and places it in her hands.
"We will win, there is no other way," she says, "we have fought for so long; we will win!"
The compensation she had received, that was deemed "good enough," has been long spent — on expensive medical bills, and for their daily bread. The sole earner of the family, Abdul Hamid could no longer work the rickshaw he owned. Sinhourwali is, however, hopeful for the future, that justice will be rendered, and the accused given due punishment. She still awaits a final settlement, so that she and her husband can live their declining years in peace.
At the Chingari Trust run by Bhopal gas tragedy survivors Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla, more than 300 children attend the special school for victims of groundwater contamination. These children are from the communities based in the two- to three-kilometre radius of the UCIL factory premises. The children suffer from developmental delays, stunted growth, hearing disorders, congenital disorders, birth defects. Nearly all of them are under the age of 12.
One of them is Meenakshi. Born five years ago, her body has refused to catch up with her mind. She suffers from stunted growth. As she putters about the yard, one of the mothers asks softly, Has this happened elsewhere, or is it only us?
The activists attribute the groundwater contamination to leakage from the solar evaporation ponds that were used for dumping toxic waste in the Union Carbide factory grounds. The leakage caused by tears in the liner of the ponds meant that poisonous waste containing heavy metals, benzene, mercury and lead slowly seeped into the groundwater tables — the same groundwater that the residents in nearly 20 colonies around the factory use for their household needs. The water was so contaminated the tube wells in the vicinity of the factory had to be abandoned way back in 1982.
Evidence of the groundwater contamination was first published in a report by Greenpeace in 1999, the same year Dow had begun the process to acquire the Union Carbide Corporation, which was completed in 2001. Since then there have been more than a dozen tests conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPCB) testifying to the fact. A fact-finding mission (1999-2004) has informed of the presence of toxins in vegetables and breast milk — lead, mercury, nickel and pesticides were found. Mercury, one of the most toxic chemical compounds, was up to six million times higher than expected levels. The groundwater contamination has reached colonies even three kilometres away from the plant.
Activists allege the grounds and structure of the factory are still contaminated, even as children from nearby slums sneak in to use the grounds for playing cricket, to scavenge for metal parts to be sold as scrap — some even use it as an open toilet. Today, the gaunt, savaged factory premises, now controlled by the Madhya Pradesh government, still house the pesticide plants, standing tall as reminder of the continuing tragedy.
Despite the growing resentment, both Dow and the Olympic committee are still adamant about not withdrawing Dow sponsorship. While Dow had to remove its logo from the wrap due to the protests, the decorative wrap-up of denial continues in the case of the Bhopal gas tragedy. The question remains: Would a 900-metre-long and 20-metre-wide sheet of fabric be large enough to cover the chemical giant's frayed image?

MONCKS CORNER (AP) -- Some South Carolina sheriff's deputies are trying to track down one of their bloodhounds.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that a Berkeley County Sheriff's Office bloodhound dug his way out of his kennel early Tuesday and hasn't been seen since.
Sheriff's spokesman Dan Moon says the 3-year-old bloodhound named Red weighs about 95 pounds and is wearing an orange collar that identifies him as a sheriff's dog. The dog does have a microchip.
Moon says the dog's handler and other deputies spent much of Tuesday looking for Red.

"We used a LusterStone treatment on the walls; it's like a Venetian plaster treatment without the shine," Ronderos says. "This gave them texture and depth." Ronderos demarcated the dining area by placing the table and chairs atop a slab of onyx and by giving the adjacent wall and ceiling a different look. Another crystal chandelier connects the dining area to the living room space. The kitchen counters are Compac, a durable man-made material. High-gloss materials on the cabinets and the glass tiles reflect light throughout the space, and don't distract from the views. "While you'd think this design is for hosting lavish parties and entertaining, the main thing the family does is gather together and spend time together. They don't live a glamorous life; they are very family oriented and they all eat dinner together every night," says Ronderos. |
The couple enjoys separate bathrooms. This one is hers, but it shows some of the compromises made between the couples' tastes. His style shows up in the very minimalist and modern lines of the vanity, the trough sink, the commode, the cabinet and the stripes. Hers shows up in the form of the glittering damask print glass tile mosaic and the sparkling sconces. "His bathroom only has the stripes, no florals," says Ronderos.
