Violence against women needs to stop. This gang rape in Delhi has been a heinous and dastardly crime and it needs to be treated as such. Women as equal citizens of the country need equal rights to a safe environment.
Sheila Dikshit,, Chief Minister of Delhi
Sonia Gandhi, President, Congress Party
Sushil Kumar Shinde, Home Minister
We demand that the...
We demand that the offenders be prosecuted and brought to justice. Sexual assault of any kind be deemed a palpable non baliable crime in the eyes of law. That victims if such heinous acts be treated with dignity and respect. Women anywhere should feel safe whether at home, out in public spaces and at work.
Parliament has made no worthwhile progress towards desperately-needed legal reforms. There is imminent need to increase funding for forensic investigations, upgrading training of police to deal with sexual crimes, and making expert post-trauma support available to victims. The onus of proving the crime should not be on the victim but on the perpetrator.

Gender equality, women's professional development and the freedom of movement are, simply put, metrics for any successful democracy. India cannot lay claim to a status of modern democracy without fair and equitable execution of the law in protection of both its women and men.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

The primitive brutality that rears its head ever so often, and most recently, has me aghast. I give two hoots for India's economic so-called economic progress. If men are allowed to rape with equanimity and women still walk the streets of the capital city terrorized, the country has regressed. India declining - not shiningREPORT THIS COMMENT:

Four months after the brutal assault and gang-rape of a young woman, we hear of police indifference yet again in the 2-day rape and torture of an innocent five-year-old girl. Police who stand by and dismiss complaints of violence against women need to be held accountable too; don't make these poor women and children victims twice.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

So I'm still recovering from SXSW. I got into Chicago late last night. My SXSW was kind of an anti-SXSW experience. I didn't see any of the hyped or buzzed bands. Not Duffy, or She and Him, or any band with the word "Fuck" in the name (that one was difficult – they were everywhere). I didn't make it to any blogger parties (although I did peak in to the Stereogum/Paste/NPR event to see Emmy the Great play with Lightspeed Champion).
What I did do/see was wonderful. The list of artists includes Danny Schmidt, Sam Baker, Walt Wilkins, Anna Egge, Caroline Herring, The Pines, Gurf Morlix, Carrie Elkin, The Theater Fire, Chuck Prophet, Nels Andrews, AJ Schultz and David Dondero. Many of these I saw on Saturday at a marathon house concert outside of town. I have photo's that I may upload today or tomorrow.
But today's a new day and a new day means a new artist to write (and get excited) about. I came across Jim Stanson's new record on a European Americana chart. His new record Heart Full of Fire was the only one on the list by a self-released artist. I think you know I have a fondness for rock `n roll. Simple, straightforward rock shaped by decades of exposure to The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and The Faces. And that's what you get with Jim.
You'll hear all of those influences on the title track. Purchase Jim Stanson's new record here. The new record also features the above mentioned Gurf Morlix and Austinite "Scrappy" Jud Newcomb.

Early summer greetings to my family, friends and neighbors from Camp Moreell, Kuwait (on my way home from Afghanistan).
I am extremely happy to report that my unit's mission is complete and we have turned over our assets to the Seabee battalion relieving us. For me, this meant transferring responsibility for 800 vehicles and construction equipment worth $157 million in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Bahrain – so it is a relief to have been relieved!
You can be very proud of our Navy Seabee accomplishments in the Mid-East. My unit's focus was to starve the insurgency and bleed them dry. We built COPs (combat outposts) and FOBs (forward operating bases) in strategic locations along the border of Pakistan for the express purpose of cutting off existing insurgent supply routes.
The local Afghan population equated our efforts with freedom – the new infrastructure effectively displaced the insurgents who previously ruled by intimidation and terror. We even placed a fortified COP in Mullah Omar's neighborhood (the Zhari District, west of Kandahar City). We logged more than 5,000 miles of self-performed and self-secured convoys throughout Kandahar Province to deliver personnel, materials and equipment to our various build sites.
Convoy security was achieved with our own fleet of 30-ton armored gun trucks and specially trained Seabees. Our well drilling teams insured that the remote bases – and the surrounding local Afghans – would have a reliable and plentiful supply of fresh water.
Our blade team constructed new roads which severed the insurgents supply routes into Kandahar Province. PTDS (Persistent Threat Detection System) technology – tethered blimps outfitted with sophisticated high-definition and infra red cameras – would be anchored within the walls of our outposts to track and communicate insurgent activity and movement to our ground troops.
With what little free time we had, we volunteered our time and construction know-how to meaningful organizations including the Wounded Warrior Project, the USO and the Roll 3 trauma hospital located on our Kandahar Air Field base.
Our daily pace was driven by a sense of urgency, and the deployment seemed to pass quickly because we kept busy. Despite the risks, all 600 of our Seabees came home in one piece.
As I conclude my final deployment editorial, I would like to emphasize my appreciation for the overwhelming support I have received from family, friends, Symmes Township neighbors and fellow veterans.
Most recently, Miss Day's entire class of Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Middle School sixth-grade students sent me very sincere, spiritual and patriotic hand-written letters – a touching and uplifting show of support. Thanks to all for keeping the "Bees" of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 26 in your thoughts and prayers over the past 10 months.
Phil Beck is president of the Symmes Township Board of Trustees. He returned last week from a deployment to Afghanistan as a member of Seabees.

Lincecum: From No-Hitter to Nine-Hitter
Nine days after throwing a 148-pitch no-hitter, Tim Lincecum threw five hitless pitches Monday night. On the sixth, Shin-Soo Choo doubled.
It got worse. Quickly.
Seventh-two pitches later, Lincecum was done, following up his no-no with a boo-boo. He surrendered a career-high eight earned runs on nine hits, and the theme at China Basin quickly turned from Johnny Vander Meer to Johnny Appleseed, the sold-out crowd having every right to doze off.

Reddick Blasts A's Past Astros
Josh Reddick is enough of a pro that he can hit his personal reset button at a moment's notice.
And that's good, because a moment is all a hitter generally has in the batter's box.
Upset with his approach during an eighth-inning at-bat with the A's down by a run, Reddick channeled Happy Gilmore, then crushed a two-run home run that rallied the A's to a 4-3 victory over the Astros, Oakland's 10th consecutive win over Houston this season.
– John Hickey, San Jose Mercury News
This is when it starts, this new day for DeMarcus Cousins.
His return visit with the U.S. national team – the chance to enhance his prospects as a future Olympian – is also his latest and perhaps best opportunity to obliterate the past and sketch a more favorable, embraceable image.
The suspensions. The locker room feuds. The verbal tangle with a television analyst. The communication dust-up a year ago with the USA Basketball czar.

AMC's 'Low Winter Sun' Poster Is Killer
For as much as we look forward to the debut of 'Breaking Bad"s final episodes on Aug. 11, that Sunday will also see the premiere of AMC's new UK-adapted cop drama, 'Low Winter Sun,' starring rumored Lex Luthor Mark Strong. We loved the first trailer for the moody new series, but what can we learn from the first official 'Low Winter Sun' poster?
Granted this new look (courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter) doesn't reveal very much, but who doesn't love a moody Mark Strong gazing pensively off into the distance? Adapted from a 2006 UK miniseries (also featuring Mark Strong) and written and executive produced by Chris Mundy ('Criminal Minds'), the AMC drama is described as "a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption that starts with the murder of a cop by fellow Detroit detective Frank Agnew (Strong)." The murder forever alters the detective's life by activating forces that pull him deeper into the Detroit underworld.
The series also stars Lennie James ('The Walking Dead') and David Constabile ('Breaking Bad'), along with Ruben Santiago-Hudson ('Castle'), Sprague Grayden ('24′) and Athena Karkanis ('The Transporter'). It is believed that 'Low Winter Sun' will run 10 episodes in its first season, as opposed to the usual 13 for cable.
Get a look at 'Low Winter Sun' via the poster below, and tell us if you'll tune in for AMC's dark new series beginning Aug. 11!

Amok is a Malay word for the homocidal sprees occasionally undertaken by lonely Indochinese men who have suffered a loss of love, a loss of money, or a loss of face. The syndrome has been described in a culture even more remote from the West: the stone-age foragers of Papua New Guina.
The Amok man is patently out of his mind, an automaton oblivious to his surroundings and unreachable by appeals or threats. But his rampage is preceded by lengthy brooding over failure, and is carefully planned as a means of deliverance from an unbearable situation. The amok state is chillingly cognitive. It is triggered not by a stimulus, not by a tumor, not by random spurt of brain chemicals, but by an idea. The idea is so standard that the following summary of the amok mind-set, composed in 1968 by a psychiatrist who had interviewed seven hospitalized amoks in Papua New Guina, is an apt description of the thoughts of mass murderers continents and decades away:
I am not an important or "big man." I possess only my personal sense of dignity. My life has been reduced to nothing by an intolerable insult. Therefore, I have nothing to lose except my life, which is nothing, so I trade my life for yours, as your life is favoured. The exchange is in my favour, so I shall not only kill you, but I shall kill many of you, and at the same time rehabilitate myself in the eyes of the group of which I am a member, even though I might be killed in the process.

The rising wealth of those on the National Business Review Rich List raises questions about growing inequality in New Zealand, Labour MP Andrew Little says.
The 2013 Rich List is bigger and richer than ever before with the total minimum net worth of members now at $47.9 billion, an increase of $3.5 billion on last year's list.
Graeme Hart again tops the list with an estimated net worth of $6.4 billion, up $400 million from last year.
The surge in Rich Lister wealth is mainly due to the substantial gains of most investment classes – the New Zealand equity market returned 25.9% last year and has added another 10% in the first half of this year.
Mr Little, Labour's spokesman on justice and tourism, says he does not have an issue with the Rich List celebrating those who have created wealth but the plight of the less well-off should not be forgotten.
"I'd never criticise or challenge anyone who has done well for themselves," he says.
"Where it becomes a problem is at a time we've seen those on lower incomes getting squeezed, with the median wage going down for the second consecutive year.
"More people are being paid less than what they were the year before. There's a real question about the distribution of wealth and the concentration of wealth."
Mr Little, a former boss of the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, is seen as a potential Labour leader.
Business friendly
He is also considered one of the more business-friendly Labour MPs, compared to many of his colleagues who have academic backgrounds and little knowledge of the productive sector.
He says he has great respect for those who have made it to the Rich List by working hard, creating innovation and putting their own capital at risk.
"Those who have generated wealth through leveraging debt I wouldn't be cheerleading at all."
Mr Little says people can succeed in business without benefiting the wider community, for example, by damaging the environment.
He also sees an issue in the growing pay gap between chief executives and lower-level staff.
"Those who put themselves and their own wealth at risk, I admire that. It takes real strength of character.
"Those in large corporates get the benefit of large salaries but the risk is very small. I just think it's an increasing issue.
"I get the argument that if you don't pay those big salaries you won't get good people but if people want the benefits of real riches, why don't they take their own risk and do the things real investors do?"

Little "I get the argument that if you don't pay those big salaries you won't get good people but if people want the benefits of real riches, why don't they take their own risk and do the things real investors do?"
So, then, who would the CEOs of these companies Andrew if they left and set up their own businesses?
The next younger(?) person on the ladder, who would be prepared to do the role for less. Do you really think a CEO in a large company (200+) can really do it on their own?
Their salary should be limited to 10x the lowest salary in the business.
If you own your own business and risk your own capital then your income is unrestricted if you are successful.
Most CEOs skills are those of a bureaucrat rather than an entrepreneur. For every Sam Morgan there are 100 Ronald Trotters.
Shane, you clearly have no knowledge of Sir Ron Trotter and his business life. Suggest you do a little reading and be amazed.
The rich do not create wealth. They create ways of creaming it off everyone else.
"I'd never criticise or challenge anyone who has done well for themselves," he says.
Calling business owners "parasites" was really a term of affection, was it?
Little can't be trusted, nor has he any credibility. He can't even win an electorate seat. He's a failed union boss, parachuted into a Labour caucus through the "donations" the various unions provide for Labour.
If Labour think Little might be the answer to the Shearer problem, then Labour have an even bigger issue than what they think is the answer.
Misinformation? Who has used the word parasite here?
Google is your friend... look for yourself...
I think you will find Andrew was using the word parasite in regards to debt leveraged raiders who bring no new technology into the country - as foreign investment was supposed to do - but instead buy only existing assets and take dividends or interest out of the country and contribute only to our current account deficit.
An interesting follow-up article would include the charities/foundations each Rich Lister supports. Would be a good public image for the business community, too.
Hi Chris,
The 2013 NBR Rich List does include details of the philanthropic activities of many of our Rich Lister's. It is a very aspirational and inspirational read, I hope that you enjoy it.
Talk about a wet blanket. Just say 'well done' to those who are smart enough to create wealth and shut up after that.
You miss the point. The issue being raised isn't about some people doing well (good luck to them), but about rising inequality and the upward redistribution of wealth (at the moment about 10% own 52% of the wealth of the country). It can only be bad for the business community if the spending power of the bulk of the population continues to be steadily and deliberately reduced.
Maybe we should subscribe to redistribution then and steal the wealth off those that have earned their wealth through thrift, hard work, risk taking, etc.
How did a tow-truck driver and panel beater aged 16, then go on to becoming the wealthiest person in NZ, then?
Hard work, risk taking, learning, using all the 24 hours in each day - because what's the bet, at aged 16, he wasn't anywhere near as wealthy?
Funny how the socialists decry the capitalists and those wanting to improve their lot. But remind them that philanthropy and welfare is only possible because of successful capitalists willingly sharing their wealth and they get in a right tizzy. Remind them how well communist countries have fared over the centuries and are doing today - and that winds them up even more. One could almost make a sport of it...
I agree. Let's stop all this nonsense about debate and free speech.
Well Done :)
A comment from a person who has never had a real job, or created anything other than alleged envy.
There is nothing alleged about Little's envy; it is solid core socialism.
He would.
The NBR Rich Listers are the individuals who provide the employment for Little's supporters; and the welfare for the unmotivated, who also support the likes of Little and Labour, Greens, Mana parties and would likely vote MInto for mayor of Auckland.
Not true. Most employment is provided by small and medium-sized enterprises.
The remainder of NZ citizens who are not on the list should thank their lucky stars that we have at least some individuals who are clever risk takers who provide capital for production, ideas, employment and the tax for hospitals, schools and benefits.
Congratulations to them all. You must not, and cannot, take from the risk takers and give to those who will not take a risk at all.
It would be very interesting to see a list of how much tax those on the NBR Rich List paid. I would have much more respect for their achievements if they paid their fair share of tax.
And their fair share of tax is.........??????
Chris. What is their fair share? I can't remember the exact figures but the tax task force said that something like 10% of tax payers pay about 80% of the tax take.
That's about right. Those who think Little will make their lives better, generally pay little or no tax already.
Exactly, and the so called Rich Listers certainly pay more tax than the likes of Unite Union and the Meat Worker's Union, which are still five years delinquent in filing their annual financial returns...
Little needs to clear up his own union backyard before trying to throw political stones at glass houses.
Just for starters, I would be happy for them to pay the appropriate PAYE and company tax rates on their incomes, rather than having in place a whole myriad of tax avoidance structures.
After all, even beneficiaries pay tax at their full equivalent rate!
I agree
Aside from the fact that a good few of the NZers appearing on the Rich List do not live in NZ, and haven't for some time and therefore pay no tax in NZ (other than the businesses they own here), there is the small fact that 5% of households here already pay 47% of net income tax and 15% pay 75% of net income tax. Households with incomes under $60K are net beneficiaries. How much is a fair share, Chris?
See my comments above, but you make all sorts of sweeping assumptions. People and companies focus on tax minimisation to reduce their tax ciontribution as much as they can. I don't call that fair. And not all hoseholds under $60K are net beneficiaries. Single people continue to be discriminated in terms of tax in this country, plus two people working on low incomes with no kids. Plus remember that even beneficiaries pay tax, with or without household support for their children.
Some of Mr Little's comments are refreshing and clearly at odds with what the Greens may think. As someone said today of Shearer, he needs to take on the Greens and show them who will be boss if, or when, they manage to get into government.
Little despises those who create wealth through leveraging debt. Isn't that the opportunity for the working class who don't actually have capital to put at risk? So he doesn't really want workers to borrow funds to start up their own ventures and climb the ladder?
His distaste about CEOs and the salary gap between management and "the workers" surely now applies to himself?
What a pity it is that Mr Little and his ilk would rather the rich listers didn't exist, rather than encouraging his followers to reach similar heights.
Little by name, little by nature.
Wealth is an inherently relative metric. So while 'unfair' distributions of wealth can not be easily changed without impacting on the property rights of individuals across all of society, it is also true that too much wealth in the hands of too few is a dysfunctional state of affairs.
Quite the conundrum. While the govt. is pandering to big business (or big labour) they risk stomping out the little guy, the SMEs that produce 80% of wealth, jobs and innovation. Henry Ford knew that if you pay your workers decently you create the audience for your products. Wiping out the middle class wipes out the economy. Govt. should not do much but at least don't stomp on the little guy.
Much merit in your comment.
And therein lies many of my concerns, as the middle class are steadily being wiped out in New Zealand, while SMEs are really struggling.
The only way to make us all equal, is to make us all poor.
Except Andrew, who wants his $200K salary to look after us all.
Probably do you some good to create some understanding of what it is like.
The "parasites" are paying his salary....
He's not saying anything that's not entirely obvious, or remotely contentious. He's saying wealth is good, self-achievement is good, and that everyone deserves an equal chance.
Meanwhile, we have a PM who benefitted from the state housing and welfare schemes, who does not respect this basic aspect of democracy.
And we have a minister of social development who has concertedly destroyed the very elements of welfare upon which she may lay the blame of her success.
Hear - hear - time for a Little justice - I think given his balanced statements over many years - in defending citizens and businesses of legitimate enterprise - that are currently being eaten alive by financial trickery - that Andrew Little deserves a shot at leading Labour back to its very founding ideals - instead of those in Labour that have been completely conned by foreign-financial-free-raiders that bring only money and demand more of it in return - without providing any new technologies we cant provide ourselves - as foreign investment was meant to be - not the debt leveraged buying up of existing assets to extract rent and increase our current account deficit - currently entirely interest bearing - entirely private foreign institution loan based - not to mention.
Don't know who would have thought it, but I am beginning to like Andrew. I wish him well in politics.

One aspect of analyzing a community is figuring out who is contributing to the community and how. In the online world, services like Klout and Peerindex do this for people; algorithms like PageRank and EdgeRank do this for content. Unsurprisingly, the class grading system, or Collective Intelligence Contribution Index (CI2), is inspired by these metrics.
The goal of CI2 is to fairly model the contribution of each student to the course. CI2 will be based on participation, homework assignments, and the class project. Like the systems on which it is based, the specific signals used by CI2 and the way those signals are combined will be kept hidden from students. However, the score will always be visible to students.
Roughly, the project will be the single largest factor in the grade at roughly 50%, participation will count for roughly 30%, and homework roughly 20%. The factors will be adjusted over the course of the semester to capture the quality of students' contributions.
At the end of the course, the entire workings of the system will be disclosed when the grades are released.

For more What in the World watch Sundays at 10 a.m. & 1 p.m. ET on CNN
By Global Public Square staff
Since the financial crisis of 2008, the global economy has been in slow motion. As a result, commodity prices have fallen dramatically. But there was one great puzzle – the price of oil had continued to go up, up, up.
In 2007, before the crash, oil cost $72 a barrel on average. By 2012, Brent Crude was trading at over $111 a barrel on average, a second year of historically high levels, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Well, now the trend has turned. Prices have dropped, dramatically. Last week, Brent oil, the global benchmark, fell to about $80 a barrel, nearing a four year low.
Well, today the world is awash in oil. There's too much supply and too little demand. The world's largest and second largest economies are probably the most responsible. That would be the United States and China. The China piece of this story is fascinating. FULL POST

Fareed speaks with Admiral James Stavridis, former supreme allied commander at NATO and author of The Accidental Admiral, and Daniel Benjamin, a former coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department and now director of The Dickey Center for International Understanding, about the threat posed by ISIS. Watch the video for the full interview.
Jim, it does feel like they've got their hands full, ISIS that is, between Iraq and Syria and all the forces that are battling them.
Stavridis: I think that this is a kind of a short-term/long-term set of constraints for us.
In the short-term, I completely agree, they've got their hands full. They've got Peshmerga coming from the north, they've got Iraqi security from the south, they've got bombing in the west. They're very busy. They're going to be in the middle of a three-front war very soon.
Long-term, there's not only, as Dan mentioned, I think ultimately the threat to the homeland – they have said they intend to fly the black flag of ISIS over the White House, I don't know how more direct they can be. But it is long-term. FULL POST

"Gadhafi's death was a landmark, but three years later, it cannot be convincingly called a good one…is as much of a mess as ever," writes Adam Taylor in the Washington Post. "In a confusing, chaotic situation, fighting is split among Arab nationalists, Islamists, regional militias and more. Recently, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have intervened militarily, while the country's largely impotent government-in-exile was forced to hold its meetings onboard a car ferry."
"Given such a situation, it's not unreasonable to wonder what might have happened if Gadhafi hadn't died."
"Erdoğan continues to insist that there is no difference in his mind between the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the PKK: To the Turkish President, they're all terrorists. Evidently, however, the American position is shifting," writes Michael Rubin in Commentary. "Obama has insisted that he approve every military operation in Syria. This is why the recent airdrop of supplies to Kobane is so important: That airdrop directly assists the PYD, YPG, and the PKK. In effect, Obama is now aiding a group that his State Department still designates a terrorist group."
"In reality, that designation is probably long overdue for a review if not elimination." FULL POST
Fareed speaks with Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who co-discovered the Ebola virus.
You worry about the fact that this could spread in the very large, very congested cities in Africa, for example, in Nigeria. And at that point, this could really spread like lightning.
Well, first of all, the three countries that are affected are being totally destabilized, not only in terms of people who are killed by Ebola, their families, the orphans that now are coming up because the parents die, but the economy has come to a standstill. People are massively dying from other diseases that are normally treatable, like malaria, or women die while giving birth because hospitals are abandoned or are full with Ebola patients.
So that's a very, very destabilizing factor. And that's going to go in its impact beyond Ebola.
Now the big question will be, will this spread to surrounding countries? The good news is that both Nigeria and Senegal have been able to contain a number important cases. In Senegal, there wasn't even any secondary case. In Nigeria, there were a number of people who were infected and died, but it has not given rise to an outbreak in Lagos, after all, a city of more than 20 million people, or in Port Harcourt.

Watch 'Roots', a CNN special, this Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
For the past couple of months, CNN correspondents and anchors, including me, have been doing deep reporting on a topic that's rather foreign to most of us. That topic is ourselves, our family histories, where we came from. In short, our roots. It was something that didn't come naturally to me at all, but in the end it was fascinating.
You know, I'm curious about the world and about how it works and about what's going on politically and economically and technologically around the world. I'm not that curious about where I specifically come from. I'm just one guy among the billions of people on earth, and I have never until this project, never, ever looked into it in any way one way or the other. I came to America and I naturalized and now I'm an Indian-American.

For any strategy to work in Syria, it needs a military component and a political one. The military one – a credible ground army – is weak. The political one is non-existent.
The crucial underlying reason for the violence in Iraq and Syria is a Sunni revolt against governments in Baghdad and Damascus that the Sunnis view as hostile, apostate regimes.
The political solution, presumably, is some kind of power-sharing arrangement in these two capitals. But this is not something that the United States can engineer, certainly not in Syria. It tried it in Iraq and, despite 176,000 troops on the ground, tens of billions of dollars, and David Petraeus' skillful leadership, the deals he brokered started unraveling within months of his departure, well before American troops had all left.
The only strategy against ISIS that has any chance of working is containment – bolstering the neighbors who are willing to fight militarily and politically, neighbors who are threatened far more than the United States is. They include, most importantly, Iraq then Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and the Gulf States. The greatest challenge is to get the Iraqi government to make serious concessions to Sunnis so they are recruited into the fight, something that has not happened so far.

Editor's note: David Cook is an associate professor in the Department of Religion at Rice University and the author of Understanding Jihad. The views expressed are his own.
News that the Nigerian Salafi-jihadi group Boko Haram may have agreed on a truce with Nigeria's government, after some four years of warfare, could be welcome news in one of West Africa's most violent conflicts. But it remains to be seen whether this truce will actually materialize, whether it is merely an election ploy for Nigeria's embattled president, Goodluck Jonathan, and most crucially whether it will bring about the release of numerous captives taken by Boko Haram during the past year.
Boko Haram has its roots in a quietist Salafi movement that was originally located in the bush of northern Nigeria that taught withdrawal from society and an extreme rejection of state-run (and Western-influenced) education – rejection not characteristic of other West African Salafi movements. After its charismatic leader Muhammad Yusuf was murdered by Nigerian security forces in July 2009, Boko Haram went underground, re-emerged under the leadership of Abubakar Shekau by 2010, and since has become the dominant force in three northeastern Nigerian states (Borno, Yobe and Adamawa).
While prior to 2014 Boko Haram was able to project force over a considerable section of northern and central Nigeria (including operations in the capital Abuja, at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, near Kaduna, and inside the important northern city of Kano), its tactics changed to mass slaughter at the beginning of the year. Estimates of the numbers killed during the past 10 months range up to 5,000, more than the total during all previous years combined. It is apparent that Boko Haram's strategy has been to clear out large sections of northeastern Nigeria, attacking its usual targets: Christians, educated people at universities and colleges, government and military targets, and any foreigners in the region. Even more worrying has been the tendency towards kidnappings of women and girls. FULL POST
Fareed speaks with Admiral James Stavridis, dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, the former supreme allied commander of NATO, and author of The Accidental Admiral, and Daniel Benjamin, a former coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department, about the threat posed by ISIS. Watch the full interview Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN.
Daniel Benjamin, you've written that you believe that the ISIS threat to the United States, and I think to the West, is being exaggerated. Why don't you explain?
Benjamin: Correct, Fareed. I think that there's been a lot of hyperventilation about the threat. I think over the long-term, the safe havens that have been established in Iraq and in Syria do pose a significant challenge for the United States. But right now, this conflict is primarily about Sunni versus Shia. This is an insurgent force. It is not a terrorist force, first and foremost, although they use terrorist tactics locally against their enemies.
The U.S. authorities, whether from the National Counterterrorism Center or from the Department of Homeland Security or from the FBI, have said that they don't know of any plotting against the United States at home and, in fact, there's been very little reporting on any desire to carry out attacks outside of the area.
And let's remember, this is a group that has no carried out a terrorist attack outside of its immediate neighborhood, ever. And that's a major fact. FULL POST

"The U.S. has managed to cultivate a tech mecca in Silicon Valley in spite of its public-school system," writes Sam Chambers for Bloomberg. "Because the country invented many of the technologies that are the foundation for today's hottest industry, it's a magnet for the world's sharpest and most ambitious. But the popularity of computing at U.S. high schools has been on the slide in recent years. In 2009, only 19 percent of students graduated with credits in computer science, down from 25 percent in 1990, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Education."
"The challenges facing the nations of Mediterranean Europe are hard-wired into the structure of the European Union, but Germany has made them incomparably worse," writes Harold Meyerson in the Washington Post. "Just as the euro has enabled Germany to boost its exports by making them cheaper than they'd be if the country had a currency that reflected the strength of its economy, it has also overpriced exports from the nations of Southern Europe, which cannot devalue their currencies to reflect their economic weakness. Having forfeited the ability to adjust their monetary policy to boost their economies, the Mediterranean nations have also been blocked from stimulating their economies fiscally by the European Union's prohibition of budget deficits that exceed 3 percent of nations' gross domestic products. Historically, those budget limits have been amended or waived during downturns, but German Chancellor Angela Merkel has continually insisted that the union impose austerity on nations whose economies required the very opposite: public works projects to boost employment and consumption, not to mention political stability."

A U.S. strategy of escalating airstrikes in Syria — even if coupled with ground forces — would wish that the weakest and most disorganized forces in the country somehow become the strongest, first defeating the Islamic State, then the Assad regime, all while fighting off Jabhat al-Nusra and Khorasan. The chance that all this will happen is remote. Far more likely, heavy bombings in Syria will produce chaos and instability on the ground, further destroying Syria and promoting the free-for-all in which jihadi groups thrive.
Critics are sure this policy would have been easy three years ago, when the opposition to Assad was more secular and democratic. This is a fantasy. It's true that the demonstrations against the Assad regime in the initial months seemed to be carried out by more secular and liberal people. This was also true in Libya and Egypt. But over time, more organized, passionate and religious forces triumphed. This is a familiar pattern in revolutions — including the French, Russian and Iranian. They are begun by liberals and taken over by radicals.

Female bodies aren't objects for making and feeding babies. Female bodies aren't sexual objects. A female body belong to the person having that body, and they decide what the purpose of it is.

As agitating Air India pilots refuse to relent, Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said that privatisation could be the only way to save the national carrier. Speaking to Karan Thapar on Devil's Advocate, he hinted looking at that option once the airline becomes viable.
Karan Thapar: Hello and welcome to Devil's Advocate. With the Air India polite strike continues, we ask how did the airline get into this unholy mess. That's the key issue, I should explore today with the Civil Aviation Minister, Mr Ajit Singh.
Mr Singh, lets start with the beginning. In 2007 the UPA government merged two airlines with entirely different pay scales, work conditions and areas of operation. As a result, there were two airlines with entirely different cultures and ways of doing things. Would you accept this was by no means an ideal merger?
Ajit Singh: We are now looking at retrospect, at that point in time they thought there may be lot of synergies, they thought they will save money in buying fuels, they will have the same marketing force. So I don't know what the circumstances were but looking at it now, it definitely hasn't worked out. And another reason may be even the merger haven't taken place in many areas.
Karan Thapar:In fact I would come to the second issue merger not taking place. But let me first explore what you had first told in the beginning, the merger hasn't worked out. You accept that?
Ajit Singh: Yes, in retrospect it's seems like and as you pointed out, they have different pay scales, different areas of operations and different culture.
Karan Thapar: So would you also then say that the merger was a mistake?
Ajit Singh: If you go back and if you look at the mergers in the US and other places, there are lot of mergers that are failed. So there could be many other reasons of failure.
Karan Thapar: Quite right. So this is one of many mergers that hasn't succeeded?
Ajit Singh: It hasn't worked out. As people at that time might have thought and ofcourse it's true that up to 2005 both these companies were making profits. Now this years and last years the losses would be around Rs 9000 crore.
Karan Thapar:Quite right, so the merger hasn't worked out. You are saying something as well, two companies that when they were separate were making profit. Now they have been merged, actually making a loss.
Ajit Singh: But the whole has also changed, if you look across the whole airlines industry is in trouble.
Karan Thapar:Let go back and try and look at the various stages where problem came up. You began by admitting that the merger hasn't worked out, you began by accepting this wasn't a ideal merger.
Ajit Singh: No, I only said, at that time I don't know what the circumstances were. In retrospect, we can say that it hasn't worked out.
Karan Thapar:Quite right, in retrospect we can say that it hasn't worked out . Second even if after five years, the two airlines operate as separate entities under the single name. For instance you have two sets of pilot, you have two sets of cabin crew, you even have two directors of engineering. No real effort has been made over five years to implement the merger?
Ajit Singh: See, what I have come to know is about 70 per cent what should have happened in merger has taken place. ITs and many areas marketing force has been merge but that key area, different pilot cabin crew, engineers working on this to different airlines, HR area basically hasn't yet been merged and that's why the Dharmadhikari committee was appointed.
Karan Thapar:Quite right. So you accept that in the key areas of cabin crew pilots and engineers, the merger hasn't happened?
Ajit Singh: It hasn't happened.
Karan Thapar:Infact a third problem, where attempts were made to create a merger in these key areas, it happened either half-heartedly or it happened irrationally. Let me give u an example, the airline has insisted that both India airlines pilots as well as Air India pilots must be trained for the Dreamliner. But they are not implementing that principle either for engineering staff or for the cabinet crew, so it happened half-heartedly and irrationally.
Ajit Singh: See, the pilot training in wide or narrow body, is entirely a separate ways.
Karan Thapar:But it would be logical to have engineering staff training as well.
Ajit Singh: Pardon, for cabin crew I don't think that would be problem.
Karan Thapar:But what about engineering staff?
Ajit Singh: Engineering also, going across these lines, is much easier then it is for the pilots.
Karan Thapar:Except it would be rational and logical, if you are training pilots for both streams for Dreamliner, if you were also then to trainee engineering staff across the line for the same function.
Ajit Singh: See, you are right. Even for the pilots, I am saying it's difficult they had different streams and all that. But it doesn't mean that it shouldn't have happened and it couldn't have happened.
Karan Thapar:Let's pause for a moment and consider in some detail the decision that the both Indian Airline and Air India pilots will be trained for the Dreamliner. In the case of Air India pilots because of their experience on the 747 and 777, they require under ten days to train on Dreamliner. In the case of Indian pilot because their training basically in the Airbus which is completely different plane, they require 30 to 35 days of training. At a time when you cumulative losses are touching Rs 25000 crore, this insistence on 50-50, is only adding to your cost and it is only causing further time delays. Is it wise?
Ajit Singh: Listen, basically at this point in time you are saying, we decide whether we undo the merger and keep on with it. If we are going keep on with the merger then we will have to cross check. Ultimately there will be one pilot profession, they will be trained in line and all that, but doesn't mean that will have two entirely different progress path, pay scales and all that.
Karan Thapar:So you are saying a very important thing. You are saying one consequence of the merger, is that the hidden cost, they are hidden any longer . I referred to, have to be born, you have to accept them otherwise the merger makes more sense.
Ajit Singh: No no. You are saying hidden cost but then also say that the then trained from this and transfer to them. It still may have some advantages some times, so don't say that it will cost more.
Karan Thapar:Except that there is a contradiction, if it make sense to train pilots from both streams for the Dreamliner. Why does it not make sense at the same time to train engineering staff from both?
Ajit Singh: Yes, we are planning even pilots, not only Dreamliner. We have studied the Dharmadhikari report and we will be training pilots on both sides.
Karan Thapar:But do you say what I am pointing, I am saying to you that the third problem. Even where attempts have been made to create a merge airline, the attempts are half-hearted or irrational or they are contradictory. Pilots have been trained from both streams, engineering staffs have being kept separate, cabinet crew have been separate. Instead of doing all together and making it a united merger, there is attempt of merger in one area but separation in another.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar, we are all agree that merger hasn't progressed and hasn't happened as it should have. But at this point in time, we have to decide how to implement the Dharmadhikari report which takes care most of these problems.
Karan Thapar:You know you keep referring the Dharmadhikari report, it's not made publicly as yet. So I have to point out for the audience that you have an advantage that you know its content that rests of us don't. But let me put this to you, even where training is happening for the Dreamliner, it's not necessarily happening in the most rational way. You have in Bombay, a simulator that has been lying ideal, I am told for five months because you don't have the instructor. In the mean time, the airline is paying lot of money to send pilots to Singapore?
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar, if you want to look at to these issues, there are many problems like that. The expenses are going up as you said training should hasn't been done. All these issues are there and they are one of the reasons not the solo reason for this problem that Air India is going through.
Karan Thapar:But you know this sort of problem which you acknowledged and accept, suggest that there is no planning, there is no rational thinking. And the decisions have been made in an ad-hoc and uninstructed way, that is a disaster for an airline that needs to merge two different entities which are perhaps not really ready for merger.
Ajit Singh: All I can say is, when did you decided on merger by now merger have should taken place.
Karan Thapar:Why didn't it take place. Did they not think these problems through?
Ajit Singh: Well I can say what problems they had and what they did try and didn't work. I am no position to say that.
Karan Thapar:Absolutely. Because you won't minister, you became minister just under five months ago. But what we are saying is that your predecessor and the management of the airlines in the last five years simply wasn't up to the challenge, they didn't know how to handle it.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar we are not here to indict the management of past and present. Here we are discussing is the problem with the airlines is, the merger didn't takes place we know. Obviously the merger didn't take place as plane something must have gone wrong.
Karan Thapar:Something very big?
Ajit Singh: Something have gone wrong, now we are not inquiring in that. CAG does some enquiring, PAC is looking at those reports.
Karan Thapar:Interesting that you should mention the CAG because that's another problem that I was going to come on to in a moment's time that bedeviled the merger and has caused the serious problem for Air India. The CAG points out that the government saddled Air India with 68 aircraft at a cost of Rs 40000 crore on the false assumption that increasing capacity could increase market share, while contradictorily at the same time handing over bilateral and thus undermining the case of having new plans. People look at this and says this is not just bizarre, it is inexplicable
Ajit Singh: Well, I say for long time they hadn't got any plans and that was a complaint also. They should have periodically updated their fleet but then they bought it at one time and those questions have been raised and what can I say now. And if you look at it now what we are trying to do with Dreamliner is that buy and lease, sell and lease.
Karan Thapar:So that you don't have the burden of the cost?
Ajit Singh: Capital expenditure is not that high.
Karan Thapar:Quite right. So you are now trying to find ways out of the commitment made by your predecessors because you accept that those commitment made in airlines purchases were mistaken. They happened in to bigger number, they happened altogether and the worst thing is, they happened at the time when you are giving away bilateral. So you are buying plans to take to take passengers while giving away the rights to take passengers.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar, my job is to see and look at the current situation, see what we can do. Of course, learnt from what went wrong and see to make Air India succeed.
Karan Thapar:Absolutely, you have perhaps the most difficult job in the country because, you having at the same time to put right and unholiness without. And I can understand, wanting to blame the your predecessor who created it but you have to defend them for the mistake they made. Yet correct the mistake they made and smile and get on the job, it's a terrible job you have.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar, the mistakes they made or not or what they did, is right or wrong. I think you should talk to them also.
Karan Thapar:Absolutely . But let me come to one further mistake which perhaps of the worst of them. You predecessor attempted to put together the most challenging merger of all without putting place in management that could handled the challenge. Instead of appointing Civil Aviation professionals to run the airlines, they kept sending joint secretaries from the IAS. Who have no idea how to run a business, leave aside a specialised service industry like an airline.
Ajit Singh: Well, I do agree with you on one point, it's very difficult to run service industry. Because in service industry to succeed, your culture has to be customer skin, government servant culture is not included in their culture.
Karan Thapar:So why then after creating this challenge merger, why IAS joint secretaries being sent to run the airline, rather then find professionals?
Ajit Singh: Well that is what government is decided so far.
Karan Thapar:The funny thing is one brief instance when you predecessor did appoint a civil aviation professional. I am talking about ? who made chief operating. officer. He last it just for nine months when he was sacked and he was sacked because people thought he was objecting to political interference?
Ajit Singh: Let me point out one more thing, when we are talking why government doesn't succeed in service industry, it's not one appointment two appointment, managing director or commercial director, that won't help. Top to bottom, the culture in a government PSU, Government Company, government appointee, is entirely different what you need in service industry. So if you think just by appointing one officer whatever level, you can turned around and change the whole culture of the PSU and succeed in service industry. I am sorry you have to rethink.
Karan Thapar:In which case minister, the obvious question is this. Do you believe the time has come for the Government of India, to boldly and bluntly say that our ultimate intention is to privatise Air India? And all the revival plans were putting in the place today, are with a view to eventual privatisation. Because the government has no business running an airline.
Ajit Singh: See, first we have to put Air India on right track, make it viable. And then when you look around you note the days of national carrier are gone. Any country you look at, those days when national carrier was reality, are no longer there. So those facts are with the government, we all know that but our priority was, our whole effort is to make Air India, a viable entity.
Karan Thapar:But in the second half what you said , I am going to pick up. You said the days of national carrier being run by the government, are no longer there, they are no longer viable. Are you therefore suggesting that infact once you make this airline viable, you will privatise it?
Ajit Singh: At this point of time we are not looking at that, what we are looking at in. And don't forget that yes it is difficult for the government to run a service industry but if you look back upto 2005 Air India and Airlines were still government entities and they were making money. So it's not impossible and it's not beyond the realm of possibility, that government cannot run service industry. Most likely as I said, it's difficult but let's try the difficult thing.
Karan Thapar: I am going to try and explore that difficulty, by pointing out a particularly fact to you. As you said before merger both Indian Airlines and Air India were making a profit, after merger and the merger only five year old, their combined losses was over Rs 25000 crore, their combine debt is over Rs 50,0000 crore while their market share has sunk to under 17 per cent.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar remember one more thing, in those days Air India and Indian airlines had a monopoly almost. Now it's in a very competitive environment and overall situation for the aviation sector has also become very difficult.
Karan Thapar: Except let me point this out to you before merger the combined turnover of both the airlines was just under Rs 17,000 crore but today it's under Rs 13,000 crore. It's has fallen by over 20 per cent that's despite you have got new planes, that's despite the fact that airline market as a whole has grown. So you are shrinking in size and the reason comes back to the one you are talking about, should the government be running a service industry like an airline?
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar we need not discuss that Air India as a present entity is in trouble and we also should remember that all other airlines, not to that extent, but they are also in trouble, financially stressed. And the whole environment even if you look at it worldwide, most airlines companies are in trouble. So I accept your point that yes in retrospect that merger didn't pan out but you can't blame everything, today's situation on just that fact.
Karan Thapar: Minister I want to start this part by putting a fundamental question to you and in a sense you hinted at it right through part one but we now are going to address it upfront. Your first task you said is to revive this airline. You have already in April committed to a debt restructuring of Rs 18,000 crore and you have also committed yourself to infusion of new equity of Rs 30,000 crore over eight years. But unless you can put in place a proper commercial management and give them freedom to run the airline as they want, you are simply pouring good money down the drain. So will you put proper commercial management in place? That's the first question.
Ajit Singh: First let me tell you that we are not putting that money, Rs 30,000 crore, down the drain.
Karan Thapar: It will be if you don't have proper managers.
Ajit Singh: We have timelines, we have very strict set of performance standards and if those performance standards are not met the whole plan will be reviewed in every point in time.
Karan Thapar: But you can't achieve those performance standards with IAS, joint secretaries running the airline. You know that, I know that so my question still remains, will you put proper management in place?
Ajit Singh: As I said before there are many PSUs which are doing well.
Karan Thapar: But this is a PSU which is doing badly.
Ajit Singh: I do agree it's very difficult, let me repeat it. I'll say it again that service industry is very difficult to run by the government, yes. But before merger they were both government entities and they were running successfully. So this is not the only…
Karan Thapar: You can't turn the clock back to the pre-merger, you know that and I know that.
Ajit Singh: All I am saying is even private airlines run by the professionals are failing. So don't put that emphasis that is because the government managers are incapable they can't run anything. No, look at the private companies, why are they failing? They are all run by professionals.
Karan Thapar: At the end of the day the private companies are accountable to their shareholders and at the end of the day shareholders take decision.
Ajit Singh: No we are not discussing that. Yes that is a different thing. Your point is put a professional management then it will work.
Karan Thapar: Will you do that?
Ajit Singh: You are saying put a professional management then it will work.
Karan Thapar: I am not saying that it will work but it will have a better chance of working.
Ajit Singh: Look at the private companies, look at the private airlines.
Karan Thapar: So you are saying that you will not?
Ajit Singh: No, I am not saying that but your whole emphasis that because it's IAS, because it's a government company that's why it's in this shape. Look around you in India only look at the private companies with professional management, so if a company fails there are many reasons.
Karan Thapar: Minister I have run out of time but I have to conclude one thing.
Ajit Singh: Yes.
Karan Thapar: You hinted in part one a possibility, a need for privatization but only after you have revived the airline but you didn't commit to yourself to it but you said it's not on the agenda right now. But when you talk of reviving the airlines we talk about money but we don't talk about good professional management so I doubt if you are going to revive it at all.
Ajit Singh: I am not saying that we will not have good management or we don't have good management at present and I also pointed out to you that puting one or two guys from a totally different environment with the working environment that the government has, then you are mistaken.
Karan Thapar: Alright minister I will leave it to the audience to decide whether you have the confidence strategy to succeed or you have the money but you don't have the clear mind about the management and whether this confusion will ensure that the troubles at Air India continues. That's a question the audience will have to answer.
Ajit Singh: Mr Karan Thapar whatever I have in mind, the whole thing you have no clue. So don't say that.
Karan Thapar: I will wait to hear greater details from you, so there is a hope that there is more to come that you haven't revealed yet.
Ajit Singh: And as I said our main effort is to make Air India a success whatever has to be done and your suggestions will be welcomed.
Karan Thapar: Minister, thank you very much.

Dustin Hoffman is putting on the choir robes, coming on board to star in the indie drama "Boychoir" with Alfred Molina and Kathy Bates.
Embankment Films is handling international sales and will introduce the film to international distributors at the American Film Market.
Francois Girard ("The Red Violin") will direct from a screenplay by "Source Code" writer Ben Ripley. Lensing is set to start in February in Connecticut and New York.
The story centers on a troubled and angry 11-year-old from the wrong side of the tracks who finds himself at an East Coast school, where he engages in a battle of wills with a demanding choir master, played by Hoffman, who recognizes a unique talent in the boy. Molina will play a teacher at the school, and Bates will portray the school's headmistress.
Producers said they are searching worldwide to cast the boy singer. Singers from the American Boychoir School will be featured in the production.
"These boys' voices soar with this rare, unearthly ability for only a few years of their young lives, then their voices transform, a gift seemingly lost," Girard said. "But what they experience in that brief time shapes them forever."
Executive producers are Informant Media's Michael A. Simpson and Eric Brenner along with Ripley.
Hoffman recently made his directorial debut with "Quartet" and wrapped production on Jon Favreau's "Chef." He is also scheduled to star opposite Judi Dench in the adaptation of Roald Dahl's "Esio Trot."
Informant is also in production on "Kidnapping Freddy Heineken," starring Jim Sturgess, Sam Worthington, Ryan Kwanten and Anthony Hopkins. The film is also repped for sales at AFM by Embankment.
Hoffman is represented by WME. Molina is represented by WME and Hyler Management. Bates is represented by ICM Partners. Girard is repped by Cassaroto, Ramsey & Associates. Ripley is represented by the Gersh Agency and Mosaic. Informant Media is represented by attorney Elsa Ramo at Ramo Law. Baum and Goldenring are represented by Gersh.

Tuna Hoagies?
So in conversation, a few friends and I all agreed that we use the tuna hoagie as a good barometer for the overall quality of the sandwiches at either a deli or even pizza joint. For years, I thought I was the only one who used this gauge, but does anyone else use this?
Even if you don't, I'd love to hear where you can find the best tuna hoagies in the western burbs. To date, Ted's Place in Conshy is the best in my book. Light on the mayo, totally packed with provolone and a little bit of the oil/vinegar mix on top. Perfect!
I like Primo Hoagies' tuna diablo. Not traditional, but darn good. Haven't had their regular tuna sub, but I would imagine it to be good based on the other sandwiches.
Technically it's Philadelphia, but I've always liked the Tuna at McMenamin's in Mt Airy. I ask for extra pickles and get it on a Kaiser. With the Utz-style potato chips and a nice cool pint of something on their ever changing tap list, it's wonderful. My dad is a tuna fiend, so I grew up (in S. Jersey) eating lots of tuna hoagies (mostly Jewish deli-style). I also think their other food is surprisingly good.
Any hoagie from A Cut Above Deli in Newtown Square will be awesome. Tried Primo's a few times and they were good, but A Cut Above is our go-to spot for a great sandwich.
I personally love Pudge's tuna hoagie. Order a side of cheese fries and throw some of them on top, and you're all set. They have excellent sandwiches all around. You're making me hungry!
Duck Deli in Chalfont has by far the best tuna hoagie ever! Its not your typical canned tuna. Its a BBQ place, so they smoke the tuna in their smoker. So good! I order it every time we go there!

You are just dating a pair if skis and marring a pair of boots. Poor boot fit and alignment can destroy your skiing and not even having a clue what is going on. Most of the boot-fitters on East Coast (not all for sure) are overlooking the option for boot alignment. By the time you find a good one it already cost you a lot of money and ruined days of skiing.

Creflo Dollar Proclaims Innocence in Sunday Sermonby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Creflo Dollar made his first public remarks since being arrested last week for alleged assault against his daughter, denying all allegations yesterday during his Sunday sermon in College Park, Georgia.
"I will say this emphatically: I should have never been arrested," Dollar said two days after police charged him with misdemeanor counts of simple battery and cruelty to children. "I want you all to hear personally from me that all is well in the Dollar household."
The controversial televangelist spoke to a congregation that met him with multiple rounds of enthusiastic applause.
Dollar was arrested Friday after his 15-year old daughter called 911 around 1 a.m. and said her father wrapped his arms around her neck, punched her and hit her with his shoe after the two got into a fight over her request to attend a party. Dollar's 19-year old daughter backs up this account.
But Dollar took to his pulpit proudly yesterday, admitted "emotions got involved and things escalated from there," in related to the charges and added:
"The truth is she was not choked, she was not punched. There were not any scratches on her neck. But the only thing on her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema. Anything else is exaggeration and sensationalism."Dollar said he does not place any fault on any of his children ("as Jesus would never put any fault on me"), but did touch on a "culture of disrespect" among today's youth, a reference that was met with cries if support from those in attendance.
"I think you're looking at a bunch of sensationalism," said George Blake, 49, a regular member of Dollar's congregation. "It's not up to me to me to be satisfied with what he had to say. This is a man of God spreading the word of God."
Keep preaching the gospel and do not come down. if the devil is not bothering u then that means he already have you because as long as u are doing Gods will the devil is mad and is trying to Kill, Steal, and Destroy. you r in my prayers and we all should do likewise instead of talking.
This is the last days whether we want to believe it or not,In Matthew the Bible says, we will be persecuted and be thrown into jail. Be of good courage God knows the truth
the Gospel has been kidnapped by these fakes.
as the word says "you shall know them by their fruits".
well your fruit Creflo 'almighty' Dollar is rotten!!!!!!!
It says a a wise man use the rod to dicapline his childin the bible. Helen wat rubbish r u talking bout ,was u there wen it happened . No and how do you know he's evil. Get a grip sounds like you got your own issues. 15 year old children don't get stroppy and make up stories to get what thy want????
Evil man with no shame or remorse. "skin abrasion from eczema". Please! And the 19 year old would lie why? Abusive and a false prophet. The Bible warns us of this kind of "pharisees".
If he did I don't think its wrong, I would have done the same. And I don't there is any part in the bible that says you can't beat your child.
God bless you Dr. Dollar. "In the last days a mans enemies will be of his own house."
its probably ok in the church your allowed too beat the crap out of your kids he was just putting the fear of the lord in her.

Bucket seats were a really big deal in 1963 and were standard on Cutlasses. To amortize costs, GM forced Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac (BOP) to base their '61 to '63 compacts on the rear-engine Corvair platform of 1960. It's true. Each division employed a different strategy to adapt the driveshaft to the nearly flat, Corvair-sourced floorpan. A small-diameter, curved driveshaft delivered power to the Pontiac's rear-mounted transaxle, while Buick and Oldsmobile employed small transmission cases and unique rear axles with the pinion set at a very low angle. This allowed the driveshaft to be mounted lower. If you compare the surfaces found inside a Corvair's trunk compartment (up front), you'll see it shares numerous sheetmetal stampings and suspension parts with the front engine BOP compacts.

My father taught me a lot about Jesus being the perfect example for all things, and how we are to follow in His footsteps. One such example is baptism.
Many say that baptism holds no significance, that it is merely symbolic. I disagree on many levels, but the simplest explanation is that even Jesus was baptized! How could baptism not be an important step in the Christian life if even Jesus was baptized???
My father says, "if it was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me."
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life. So, baptism in His case was not for the remission of sins, but rather to "fulfill all righteousness," as He Himself explained to John the Baptist in Matthew 3:15. Jesus did this to show us the steps of a righteous life.
And how did His Father affirm His decision? "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17)
We have some good friends getting baptized today. Unfortunately we can't be there to celebrate with them, but we pray they will feel their Heavenly Father's loving affirmation as they follow in the steps of Jesus.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen." Matthew 28:19-20
