HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Chicago Bulls fans hoping eagerly anticipating the return of Derrick Rose will apparently have to wait a little longer than expected.
While there is still no concrete timetable for his return, all you have to do is some elementary math to figure out it's going to be a while before he makes his return from offseason surgery on the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Follow the math in Rose's own words, to USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt:
"I don't have a set date," Rose told USA TODAY Sports on Monday in his first extensive interview since the 2012-13 NBA season began. "I'm not coming back until I'm 110%. Who knows when that can be? It can be within a couple of weeks. It could be next year. It could be any day. It could be any time. It's just that I'm not coming back until I'm ready."
How close is Rose to 110 percent?
"Right now, probably in the high 80s," he said. "Far away. Far away."
Whatever the distance is between Rose's high 80s and the 110 percent he needs to be at in order to get back on the floor with his Bulls teammates, who have been even better than expected in his absence, it probably won't be traveled in a matter of days. There was some hope that Rose would be ready after All-Star weekend. But that doesn't seem practical based on his own assessment of where he is right now.
That said, the "high 80s" is a lot closer to 110 percent than the 50s, 60s or 70s. So there is still reason for optimism in Chicago.

Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - A late rally fell short as Wheaton College went on to record a 68-63 victory over MIT in a NEWMAC women's basketball game on Wednesday. Kimberly Soo Hoo dished out a game-high 13 assists which broke the Institute record for assists in a game. The previous mark of 10 was established by Karen Samuelsen on Dec. 8, 1979, and was tied by Sarah Davis during the 1996-97 season. Soo Hoo and Crystal Russell both equaled this standard four times throughout their careers.
Each team put on an offensive display in the opening half, with the Lyons (18-6, 11-1 NEWMAC) knocking down 65.4 percent (17-26) of their shots to the Engineers' (12-12, 4-8 NEWMAC) 56.5 percent (13-23). MIT hit 10 of its first 14 shots, while the hosts made 10 of their initial 15, leaving the score at 22-21 in the Engineers' favor. Krystin Hickey forced the game's fourth tie with a free throw at 6:49 of the first frame. That was the start of a personal 6-2 spurt for Hickey, whose three at 3:58 gave the Lyons the lead at 27-24. Following a jumper by Clara Yuan on MIT's ensuing possession, Wheaton scored 13 of the next 17 points for a 40-30 lead at the break.
Jenny Champney made a lay-up at the 18:22 mark of the second stanza to push the hosts out to their largest lead at 44-30, and Wheaton led by at least nine for much of the first 10 minutes of the half. With the Lyons holding a 48-35 advantage at 12:53, the Engineers went on a 23-6 run that put them ahead, 58-54, with 5:11 on the clock. Wheaton responded with eight unanswered points that gave it the lead for good. MIT came within one on two occasions, the last being at 64-63 courtesy of a lay-up from Cheryl Kwinn with 1:04 left to play. Becky Aitchison came up big in the final 46 seconds for the Lyons, corralling a pair of offensive rebounds and hitting two free throws as the hosts held a slim 66-63 edge with 20 ticks left. She then grabbed a defensive board off a potential game-tying three to help seal the win.
Samia Mahjub paced all scorers with 25 points, shooting 12-of-18 from the floor, to go along with six boards and four blocks. Kwinn and Alice Yeh turned in 12 points each, with Kwinn adding a game-best 10 boards.
Champney led Wheaton with 18 points, going 9-of-13 from the field. Hickey tallied 13 points and five assists, while Aitchison accounted for 11 points and nine rebounds. Andrea Bailey and Bri Smith had eight and seven points, respectively, while Ida Kruse provided five assists.

text: India Prepares to Exit China's Grain Shadow July 18, 2014 07:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Demand is always important. But for feed grains and biofuels, seldom has that mattered more than for the 2014/15 crop, with prospects of record yields, growing stocks and falling prices. "How low can grain go? It boils down to exports," says Jean Philippe Gervais, chief agricultural economist for Farm Credit Canada. In large part, that export outlook will be determined by China and a host of new demand players such as India. Internal factors such as income growth and demographic shifts must be heeded. That's according to experts who gathered this week for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's Ag Symposium. Feed grain prices are more likely to model the low end of USDA's forecast range, Gervais says. The agency has projected new-crop corn between $3.65 and $4.55. Prices likely will plateau over the next decade, though there is little risk that they will be below 1990 levels. "There is a fairly wide consensus around global production increases for commodities, so pricing and income all hinges on demand," Gervais explains. Cattle Prices Hit Corrective Phase But even if food demand increases by 60% because of world population growth and changing diets—as projected by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations—"world production would need to increase at levels much lower than in the past," he says. "This is really overlooked." Although increases in gross domestic product (GDP) are often referenced as the key to future export growth, Gervais says another factor is more important. The global population also is rising, albeit at a declining rate. "The biggest driver is incomes, not GDP," says Gervais. As incomes approach $20,000 in developing countries, the growth rate for food softens. Red meat consumption has upside in countries such as China, Russia and Brazil even though it is expected to stabilize in western countries. Those factors mean the outlook for future grain demand is positive, even though prices will be lower in the next 10 years than in the preceding decade, Gervais says. Policy also matters, Gervais says, as evidenced by the level of ag trade among the U.S., Canada and Mexico stimulated with the North American Free Trade Agreement. He foresees more bilateral trade agreements, but negotiating those deals isn't always easy because countries have different values. China Outlook Mixed, But India Rises Although the global demand outlook is strong, projections for Chinese demand concern Gervais. USDA's long-term projections assume linear growth of Chinese meat demand. "But the linear trend will change," he cautions. At some point over the next five to 15 years, "demand growth will start to slow down." Already, China's economy is slowing down. But that might be good for North American grain exporters because it could give China the chance to adjust to a new economic reality. Growth in recent years, combined with a smaller workforce, could lead to higher wages that hurt Chinese competitiveness. Want more? AgWeb readers are sharing fresh marketing insights every day. Click here to join the conversation, or to start your own. As a result, "China has no choice but to increase productivity," Gervais says. "Its challenge is to rebalance its economy." Investment and consumption must be aligned more closely. That's especially true as China undergoes a major demographic shift, he says. Although the population of residents age 60 and older will grow rapidly through 2050, two groups will show significant declines—those ages 15 to 59, and newborns to age 14. Focusing on China while ignoring other prospective customers is a mistake, agrees Chad Hart, ag economist at Iowa State University. He is optimistic about the long-term outlook of exports and biofuels, but he says China won't remain the export growth story it is today. Instead, India will surpass the country's growth. Not only has the economy of India shown significant growth, but its population is forecast to grow from between 1.1 billion and 1.2 billion people to 1.8 billion by 2050. Meanwhile, the population of China, Japan and Russia will decline. With that shift on the horizon, China may be viewed as a template for food demand in other countries over the next 35 to 40 years. "Fifteen years from now, we will need to think elsewhere than China," Hart says. "Thirty years from now, that could be Africa." And China will remain an importer because it has just 5% of the world's arable land—and 20% of its population. Biofuels Present Global Opportunities Farmers in the U.S. will not only see new avenues to export feed grains but also ethanol: China is expected to increase liquid fuel usage 222% from 2007 to 2035, followed by India (168%) and Africa (148%). "Agriculture is an industry in transition, but we're always adjusting to something," Hart notes. Biofuels will be part of the transition, though in some ways it's a replay of a decades-old practice. In the early 1900s, for example, Iowa's No. 2 crop—oats—fueled draft horses. But biofuels demand largely depends on policies, "and there is a lot of uncertainty, not only in the U.S., but even in Brazil," Gervais says. Nonetheless, he foresees up to 60% growth in production over the next decade if ethanol is blended at 14%. The U.S.is one of just three regions that holds the key to future biofuel production, Hart says. That's because of its soil types and growing conditions. The other regions are South America, specifically Brazil and Argentina, and the Black Sea region, particularly Ukraine. African production is possible in the long-term, but not on the same level.

35 comments:
Cool drawings!!ReplyDelete

lovely cartoons! And a funny anecdote!ReplyDelete
Hahahahaha.....*on floor gasping*...Yes they really stink that bad :D My beautiful faerie like niece is 2 today, and she can clear a room of grown men with her knowing smile...the one that says "yes..I pooped" lol :D XXXReplyDelete

Great service! It took two weeks for the item to arrive, but the low cost (at least compared to the prices here in Finland) and the flawlessness of the product compensated for the lengthy arrival process. And the staff responding my emails was very friendly too. Thank you!Elina Mer, Finland

Good Morning!
I'm back from my NYC weekend with my girlfriends and had a fabulous time. What did we do? We ATE…..A LOT. Well, we did some other things….shopped, skated, danced, people-watched….but it all revolved around eating. I will be posting more about the trip, but today I just wanted to share with you some shots of the festive Christmas decorations in the Big Apple and some little discoveries and observations I made while I was there. Here is some of the festivus….
So pretty! There is really nothing like Christmas in New York.
And although I've been to New York City a number of times, here are some new observations and discoveries I made on this trip….
1. There are not enough bathrooms. I have NEVER waited in a big line for a restroom as often as I did this past weekend. And I'm not talking in big clubs (because I rarely go to those), but in higher end restaurants. The building codes in NYC must be very different because on one floor of a restaurant and lounge area that probably has a capacity of 100 there were 2 toilets…total…men and women. I know that space is a commodity there but I would think that a big line up of people waiting for the washroom that extends into the dining room (next to people eating) wouldn't be what a higher end resto would want. I was surprised, but it was the same for almost every restaurant we went to.
2. ABC Carpet and Home. My mecca. How have I not discovered this place before? I loved so many things in that store. And I only had time to go in to one part of it, I didn't even get to the furniture part! My favourite was the jewelry. The selection on the website doesn't even scratch the surface of the amazing jewelry selection they have in the ABC collection. It's all very pricey but is unique and beautiful so I can see why. I just wish I could afford it! Here is a little peek…
And this tableware by Jan Burtz is to die for.
And this pretty lighting by lady suss….love.
3. We have gridlock and angry drivers in Toronto, but New Yorkers LOVE their horns. They use the horn to communicate everything, it's almost like another language.
That's it for today!

After yesterday's report about Twitter developing an in-house video client, there's now some solid evidence that Twitter has invested in developing a video service. AllThingsD has reported that Twitter recently acquired three-person New York City-based video sharing startup Vine.
The same report indicates that the deal was motivated by the acquisition of the team rather than the product itself, although an update by AllThingsD suggests that Vine could remain a standalone service. We reached out to Twitter, but the company declined to comment on the matter.
If you take a look at Vine's site, you'll notice the service has yet to launched and is simply taking user signups. But the splash page currently describes it as, "the best way to capture and share video on your iPhone. No editing. No rendering. No post-production. Video has never been this fun."
Vine could be in its beta testing stage with some early adopters — primarily investors and other entrepreneurs using the service — which gave us a look at how Vine works. It's apparently focused on short form clips that last just a matter of seconds, but the platform stitches together these short clips into a longer video. It then loops back to the beginning of the clip automatically, kind of like a GIF but with sound.
We did a Google search for site: http://vine.co/v/, which appears to be the site's root URL for user submissions, and found that vine videos were in fact being indexed by Google with approximately 104 results. We were able to check out the submissions from people like MG Siegler and Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann and David Lee, managing partner of SV Angel.
Here are just a few examples that you can check out:
Whether Vine would continue to exist in its current form or have its technology use to support whatever video service Twitter has up its sleeve remains to be seen. Still, the acquisition absolutely points to the platform's interest in bringing video in-house.

Katy Perry's Full 'Part Of Me' Video: Is She Getting Revenge On Russell Brand?
Katy toughens up & fights back against a cheating boyfriend in the just-released music video. Watch it here!
After watching Katy Perry's music video for "Part Of Me," our first thought was, "Wow, the Marines have gotten really clever with their marketing." Our second thought was, "Wow, this is totally about Russell Brand." Both are true. In the just-released video, Katy's character dumps her lying, cheating boyfriend and joins the Marines to toughen up.
We know Katy has denied that "Part Of Me" is about her break up with Russell, but the music video couldn't be any more telling. Katy's character is listening to the radio, and a caller complains about her boyfriend always being away — and wasn't "distance"a major catalyst for their split?)
Watch Katy's video for "Part Of Me" below, then tell us: Do you think this is about Russell?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Two missiles fired by terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip hit Tel Aviv Thursday evening, the first time Israel's coastal metropolis has sustained a missile strike since the first Gulf War over 20 years ago.
The missiles landed in an open area and did not cause damage or injuries.
However, Israeli military officials warned that a difficult night was likely ahead for the millions of people living across central Israel.
It is believed that Israel destroyed the bulk of the terrorists' long-range Fajr 5 missiles in the opening hours of Israel's Gaza offensive, so the ability to hit Tel Aviv is supposedly limited.
Though the actual missile threat to Tel Aviv may not be significant, the fact the city was hit marks a major escalation in the current conflagration. Israel is expected to respond with a ground invasion of Gaza in the coming hours.
Earlier on Thursday three Israelis were killed and dozens more wounded when Gaza missiles hit homes in several towns in southern Israel.

Gene Hart
A beloved announcer is associated with a team as much as any favorite player or coach. For Gene Hart and Flyers faithful, the love affair began from the moment the Flyers took to the ice in 1967. To millions of listeners, he is as much a part of Flyers lore as Bobby Clarke or Ed Snider.
Born in New York on June 28, 1931, Hart was a graduate of Pleasantville (N.J.) High School and Trenton State College (with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education). The man who became known as the Voice by calling more than 2,000 games, six Stanley Cup Finals, five All-Star games, and two NHL-Soviet All-Star series got his start in broadcasting more by accident than design.
"When I got out of the military in 1957, I was officiating sports events in Atlantic County—football, baseball, basketball," Hart recalled. "Just after a basketball game at Atlantic City High, I was in the Athletic Director's office and a broadcaster named Ralph Glenn said, 'Gee, I got a problem. I have to go up and do a game alone in Trenton on Tuesday.' So I said, 'I'll go along.'"
That chance encounter turned him into a regular in the three-man South Jersey broadcast team of Hart, Glenn, and Al Owen. Like an actor waiting for his big break, Hart kept his day job, which included teaching in the New Jersey public school system, selling cars, operating a radio station, and working as the assistant public relations director and announcer for Aquarama in South Philadelphia.
When Philadelphia landed an NHL franchise, Hart submitted some audition tapes. Short on cash, the Flyers couldn't afford to bring in an experienced Canadian announcer as some of the new teams did. They needed someone whose job was flexible enough to allow him to announce Flyers games on the side.
"And," Hart explained, "they needed someone who wasn't too concerned with how much money he made or didn't make." He got the gig for $50 a game. For him, it was the opportunity of a lifetime. "One day, here's Gene Hart doing high school sports in South Jersey. The next day, I'm exactly the same talent—no better, no worse—but I'm doing the National Hockey League in Philadelphia." Hart was grateful for the chance, but figured he was an interim solution until the club could afford a big time talent. As it turns out, Hart was big time talent. From the team's inception through the 1994-95 season, he was in the broadcast booth to announce every pass, every check, and, of course, every goal with his trademark cry. Two years after his retirement, he returned to the broadcast booth to call games for the Philadelphia Phantoms, the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, on cable during the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.
As much a part of the team as the players yet as much a fan as anyone who ever listened to his broadcasts, Hart's unique style and enthusiasm earned him a place in the Flyers Hall of Fame in February 1992 and in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997. Hart passed away on July 14, 1999, after battling a variety of illnesses.

"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends"
From the mind of Craig McCracken, creator of The Powerpuff Girls, comes a world where imaginary friends become real the instant a kid thinks them up. Everyone can see them, everyone can talk to them-but sometimes, not everyone wants them. Luckily, they're always welcome at Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, where they can stay until a new kid adopts them. The series is set in a rambling Victorian mansion, overseen by Madame Foster, that serves as a haven for imaginary friends are no longer wanted or needed by their former owners. Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends premiered on August 13th 2004 on Cartoon Network.

Let's talk about this Bud Norris thing
Among the things Norris said to Morosi, there's this nugget:
It gives you goose bumps when you think about it. Obviously growing up there, being a big Giants fan — and I rooted for the A's, too, in the area, but I was more of a Giants fan. That's a possibility. It's all trade rumors, as they say. But if it were to happen, it would be a dream come true for me to play for my childhood team. ...Whatever happens, I'll be excited wherever I go to help that team or — if I stay here — to keep helping the Astros. But San Francisco is a lovely place, and I still call it home.
Now I had zero issues with this. This is a guy in presumably the prime of his career talking about having a chance to play near his home, for his favorite team growing up. If you told me that there was a chance that the Astros would hire me, and someone asked me about it, maybe - since I'm a few years older than Bud Norris - I'd be able to couch my enthusiasm a little bit. But I'm not going to fault him for getting excited about the possibility of playing for the Giants.
Now this? This is different:
"I've seen stable, veteran players get moved to new organizations. Sometimes you don't understand why it's not you. So, it's been tough ... Now that my name's the one popping up, it's a little different feeling. At the end of the day, I need to prepare myself to pitch every five days for the team I'm on. I've been in Houston my entire career. All I know is pitching for this team. If it changes, it changes. But it's not going to change my aspect of going out there and pitching."
Okay. I talked about this in today's Morning Drive. This is preposterous. Because what it sounds like - and it's either the way Norris said it, or the way Morosi conveyed it - is that Norris' feelings were hurt that he wasn't the one getting traded.
There are two ways Norris can look at it:
1) If Norris gets traded then, yeah, the Astros don't necessarily want him pitching for them (for a variety of reasons - bettering the long-term vision of the club being chief among them). Norris could also interpret this as another team wanting him badly enough to help them win that they're willing to part with multiple pieces.
2) If Norris doesn't get traded then it means the Astros are including him as a major piece in the resurgence of a franchise.
There's no reason to play the "Why can't it be me getting traded?" card. That comes with an implied "Stamp Feet Repeatedly" stage direction. Do I think he was whining? A little, but I am also willing to chalk it up to this being the first time Norris has ever really had a stage like this. Think about the guys he actually saw get traded: Roy Oswalt. Lance Berkman. (Wandy pretty much kept his mouth shut, from what we know. I doubt Brett Myers did, in the clubhouse.) Not exactly bastions of How To Handle Getting Traded.
Norris flat-out says that nothing's going to change the way he pitches, not even the possibility of getting traded to his childhood team. We'll see if that's true this weekend. In Solomon's column (which has started a Twitter fight between him and the Crawfish Boxes), he mentions Norris laying blame for his loss against the White Sox on June 18. Solomon:
After he took a loss in his last start, he basically blamed managerial strategy, teammates and even the Minute Maid air-conditioning units for the runs he surrendered. Yes, he hinted the humidity was a factor in the defeat. The humidity. In Houston. In June. Next thing you know he'll say mosquitoes have had a negative effect on his ERA.
If you go back to Brian Smith's game recap, you can read one of Norris' quotes:
I'm still frustrated about it and I'm going to sleep on it a little bit tonight. I made a bad play. Two of them. One got under my glove and I missed the one completely in front of Altuve. I still think it's an error. I hope they change it, in my honest opinion. I missed the play. I saw it in the lights and just kind of the banner lighting kind of got me. It was a little white background and that's unfortunate because nine times out of 10 I really feel like I make that play. That's what spring training and the PFPs are all about. I am frustrated. I thought a couple balls really got through that inning. That's how the game goes sometimes. I'm not mad at any teammate by any means. These guys played — this was a great series, three games out of four. But it is very frustrating to know that that inning went the way it did.
We don't have access to the whole interview, the quote begins with an ellipses. Norris was obviously frustrated. As the presumed Staff Ace, he was the only starting pitcher to get a loss against the White Sox, thanks to three ground balls in one inning.
It's a touchy situation. An unfortunate distraction - if you want to call it that. At the same time, I agree with (Not Hank) Aaron's tweet from yesterday:
Sports commentary: "How do you feel about being traded" "This is how I feel about being traded" "HOW DARE YOU"
My issue is not with Norris lighting up like a Christmas tree at the possibility of playing for the Giants. He was honest about his feelings, and we don't get that from athletes all that often. This is a perfect example as to why.

The whole thing about the trade is much ado about nothing, imo. However, mentioning the official scoring on the error, and then protesting it officially looks a bit unseemly to me. Too much about him, rather than the team.
- June 21, 2013 at 11:18 AM
Norris is a solid big league pitcher, but if a team desperate for a starter calls, the Astros should listen. Norris has an injury history and is about as good as he's going to get; and with young pitchers on the way he's going to get pushed out anyway.....
- June 21, 2013 at 3:24 PM
The Solomon article is not a great one. Cheap idealisation of Appel and subsequent devaluation of Bud. Tenuous link at best. This is crappy newspaper copy that is best ignored. Bud is putting his right arm where his mouth is, and that is all that matters.
- June 21, 2013 at 6:59 PM
Bud's quote seemed to indicate that he was a little upset at not being traded because he hadn't earnt it. I think he was saying if he played better, the return would have been such that the Astros couldn't have passed up a trade. When you consider that most Astros fans were saying "let him build up his value, then trade him" at the beginning of the season, putting it in this context makes sense.

Jack was one of my drawing teacher at Parsons School of Design in the late seventies early eighties. He was an excellent draftsman and genuinely nice guy. He always came prepared for class with a whole portfolio of drawings, both anatomical and artistic as well as gags he'd worked on. He'd arive early to class (I think punctuality was important to him based on the number of watches he wore, one or two on each wrist) pin his drawings on the wall and we would talk about them during the model breaks. He had a very respectful way of teaching. He would walk around the class with tracing paper and if he saw an issue he wanted to address he would never draw on your drawing. I loved to watch the master dratsman know just what line was out of place and confidently demonstrate with tracing paper where your drawing had veered off coarse....and if you did a good drawing, he couldn't contain his enthusiasm, "Wow! thats a bute!"...Thanks for bringing back the memory of a great artist and wonderful teacher, Jack Ruge.ReplyDelete

Nigeria and Christian Martyrs
By Lee Jay Walker
Tokyo Correspondent – THE SEOUL TIMES
|The Boko Haram extremist group killed many Christians in northern Nigeria.
The nation of Nigeria is multi-ethnic and multi-religious and this nation also suffers because of radical Islam. In truth, Nigeria is a frontline nation in the struggle between Christianity, religious pluralism and an open society against radical Islam and dhimmitude. Therefore, Nigeria, just like Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Sudan, is a frontline nation in containing the dark forces of Islam and preventing the spread of Islamic Sharia law.
However, I will mainly focus on Nigeria and the recent Christian martyrs of this nation but I will touch on the importance of the other nations. After all, Christianity is still the most dominant religion in the world and unlike the majority of mainly Muslim nations, the vast majority of mainly Christian nations support religious freedom.
In contrast, the "heart of Islam" beats to supremacy, dhimmitude, persecution, and either religious alienation or in cases like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia; then the "heart of Islam" beats to the annihilation of all religious minorities. The differences between mainly Christian nations and mainly Muslim nations when it applies to religious freedom, is clearly a million miles apart.
After all, let us not get bogged down by major and intense debates; instead let us look at the stark reality. If a male Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, atheist, or other, had sex with a Muslim female, then this would be punishable by death in Saudi Arabia and in other conservative Muslim controlled societies. Even so-called moderate mainly Muslim nations would be in a fix and a spell in prison may suffice.
If Muslims had the same constraints in nations like America, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and a host of other nations, then you would have a huge outcry by both Muslims and liberals alike. However, such discrimination is happening, but of course it is brushed under the carpet in order to appease either Islamists, one world pipe dreamers, moral relativists who excuse everything under the sun and a host of others who desire to manipulate reality.
However, for nations on the frontline it is very different and of course Sunni Islamic bigotry and fascism is on the rise and it is essential for non-Muslims and Muslim moderates to tackle this hatred head on and not by "holding up the white flag." Therefore, I will re-focus on the need to not only remember the Christian martyrs of Nigeria but the importance to understand why they were killed and how they stood up for religious freedom, liberty, and all the values that decent people all over the world support.
In July 2009, the sword of radical Sunni Islam was once more in action and the Boko Haram extremist group killed many Christians in northern Nigeria. Churches were set ablaze and Christians became open targets and many were told to either convert to Islam or die. This statement was given to three Christian pastors because if they converted to Islam then pastors Sabo Yukubu, Sylvester Akpan, and George Orji would be alive today.
Despite the terrible violence that was going to be enacted on them they all remained firm and choose the Christian faith over the dark forces of militant Islam which is based on the Koran, the Hadiths, and then enforced with the implementation of Sharia Islamic law. These pastors, who are real believers of God and love, gave up everything so that "the light of religious freedom, liberty, and truth" could shine during this terrible time of Islamic barbarity.
Therefore, while they were being tormented and tortured by radical Sunni Islamists these three brave individuals gave everything and put their trust in God and the Christian faith.
Even if you are not a Christian, just think of the firm conviction that they had and just look at the contrast and how people abandon friends over small issues. Yet Sabo Yukubu, Sylvester Akpan, and George Orji gave up everything in order that "hope, love, freedom, and justice" would emerge victorious and of course this was based on their Christian faith and in the knowledge of everlasting peace on The Day of Judgement.
However, look at the contrast, you just had Koranic inspired hatred and Hadiths which justify killing infidels during jihad. Of course, for the three innocent pastors and other Christians, they had never done anything wrong but in the twisted logic of radical Sunni Islam then jihad is open to anything.
Given this, while they were being beheaded the Islamists were shouting "Allah Akbar" and other Islamic statements. The pain they suffered is outside of our imagination and the Islamic torments were loud and full of joy while these Christian martyrs were entering their final seconds. Can you imagine their fear, bewilderment, and utter shock at seeing Muslims baying for their blood and celebrating like they were doing something Godly?
Yet this madness in northern Nigeria is nothing new and Christians in the north are on the frontline against the tide of Islamic hatred and dhimmitude. Yes, many Muslims will also feel aghast at such barbarity in northern Nigeria, however, for others they will deem it their Islamic duty to kill and persecute in the name of Islam.
Today Christians are on the frontline in many nations and the same applies to other religious minorities, for example Buddhists in southern Thailand face the same sword and the same applies to Hindus in Pakistan and Kashmir. Also, only recently Christians were burnt alive in Pakistan and converts from Islam to Christianity in Somalia were also beheaded.
The Muslim leader of this madness in northern Nigeria was Mohammed Yusuf, and just like Osama Bin Laden , he also ran away despite ordering Muslims to die in jihad. However, he was found cowering and scared unlike the three innocent Christian pastors who remained loyal to Christianity and religious freedom.
Shortly after Mohammed Yusuf was caught he would soon be found dead and you have various accounts of what happened. However, sadly you have many other Mohammed Yusuf's all over the world who also desire to kill infidels in the name of Islam.
This madness will never end if appeasement is the answer or if political leaders like Obama, the President of America, make false statements about the real nature of aspects of Islam. I should also stress that "important and deadly facts about the Islamic faith are not being told." However, Islamists are doing this carnage in the first place because of their deep knowledge of Islam and because killing apostates, forcing minorities into dhimmitude, and declaring jihad is all sanctioned by Mohammed and the Islamic faith.
Therefore, it is vital that these Nigerian Christian martyrs are never forgotten because Islamists and jihadists are also based in many Western nations and freedom and liberty must be a universal value and not limited to a pick and mix foreign policy.
More important, these three individuals, and so many others before them, gave everything because of their love of humanity. While the killers did everything because they hate religious freedom, liberty, justice, and equality. Instead, these brutal Islamic militants killed because of hatred and this darkness must be stopped firstly in frontline nations and then closer to home.
After all, this radical Sunni Islamic jihad is much closer than we think and homegrown terrorists can be found in Australia, America, Germany, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and a host of other nations.

Depth of faith
Million-dollar Movie | After taking top honors at a Christian film festival, a California couple wins $1 million to make a feature-length movie
by Angela Lu Fulton
Posted 8/20/13, 09:55 am
Yesterday we started something new in WORLD history: We began a real reality show about Megan Dancisak, 26, and her 16-month-old son Ethan. Today we're starting a second real reality show: It features Nathanael and Christina Matanick, young filmmakers who won Best Film at the 168 Film Festival, earning a prize of up to $1 million to make a feature-length film through Echolight Studios.
We call them real reality shows because television "reality shows" are often heavily scripted. Our goal at WORLD, though, is to show readers actual life in God's world. Megan Dancisak has the pleasure of raising Ethan, and the hardship of doing so as a single mom. We don't know what will happen to them as time goes by, but our reporter will find out and update you each month. We'll also follow the Matanicks month-by-month as they try to create in a way that glorifies our Creator. —Marvin Olasky
Nathanael Matanick had always wanted to work on narrative films, but between his commercial production work and raising two kids with his wife, Christina, he never found the time. When he came upon the 168 Film Project in 2011, he decided the idea was achievable—the festival requires filmmakers to create a short film based on a randomly drawn Bible verse in 168 hours, or a week's time.
The Matanicks entered for the first time in 2011. They participated again this year with ReMoved, a film about a young girl in the foster care system. It ended up winning Best Film at the 168 Film Festival on Aug. 10, winning the prize of up to $1 million to make a feature-length film through Echolight Studios.
"Our expectation when we submitted the film was just hoping it would be screened," Christina said. "I wasn't expecting we would win the entire competition."
The idea came from a foster parent training class in which the Matanicks watched a slideshow describing common emotions felt by children in foster care—rejection, fear, and distrust from past experiences. Christina realized that most films portray the difficult behavior of foster children without explaining why they act up. She wanted to tell a story through the eyes of a child.
At the Bible-verse selection ceremony, they drew Hebrews 12:2b "who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of God." They were elated, seeing how the sacrifice foster parents make is a representation of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross. "Personally nothing is more like the gospel than caring for orphans, opening up your home, and getting into their mess," Christina said.
Christina wrote the script and Nathanael directed and edited the film. Film industry friends helped, volunteering their time for free. For the main character, Zoe, the Matanicks cast their next door neighbor, Abby White, who at 9 years old had never acted in a film before.
Competition rules gave them 10 days of pre-production—to write the script, cast characters, and find locations—and a week to shoot and edit. The Matanicks decided to make the film with a voiceover from Zoe's point of view, while the storyline played out visually.
They dealt with actors and locations falling through and re-wrote the script on the fly. Before cameras started rolling, they realized they needed an on-set studio teacher for their child actor, and started praying to find one. The next day they overheard a women at their church saying she was a studio teacher. They asked if she would be willing to help, and she agreed to do it for free.
"It was a confirmation that this is from God, that we should be doing it," Christina said. "He was going to take care of the little details. It's fun when you feel like you are taking a step of faith and not sure what was going to happen."
After four days of shooting and three days of post-production, they turned in their completed film along with 150 other teams from across the country and around the world. While the 168 Film Festival is in its 11th year, this is the first time it awarded the winner a feature-length film deal, and subsequently the number of submissions nearly doubled from last year.
John Ware, 168 founder and executive director, said more entries led to better quality entries: "This is the best year we've ever seen in terms of quality and quantity." Choosing the top film was "absolutely impossible" with the jury deadlocked on five categories, including Best Film.
ReMoved received nominations in 13 categories, and won four of them on Saturday. As two other films also won many categories, Christina prepared for disappointment about the big prize. So when the announcer for Best Film opened the envelope and read "ReMoved," she was surprised: "In my head I said 'WHATTT?'... That was very exciting."
Now the Matanicks are thinking about new ideas for their feature-length film. They also plan on submitting ReMoved to a few other secular film festivals. The film isn't overtly Christian, but Christina says the gospel infuses it: "It doesn't need to be preachy, this is what God did for us and this is what we should do as Christ followers."
We plan to continue following the Matanicks as they work on their feature-length film with EchoLight Studios. Tune in to WORLDmag.com for monthly updates on the process of putting together a new film.

Correction signals.
Please note that some variants are not available in every country. Please contact your distributor for further information.
EGNOS is a service which is available free of charge in Europe. WAAS is a comparable service for North America. Please note that in both systems track lines may shift over time (satellite drift). These systems are not suitable for use in machine fleets (e.g. combine harvesting). The accuracy data given relates to the accuracy of the GPS receiver on the machine under perfect conditions. All data are expressed as maximum values. A distinction is made between pass-to-pass accuracy and absolute accuracy. Pass-to-pass accuracy defines the accuracy of the subsequent pass in 95% of cases within 15 minutes in relation to the reference track. Absolute accuracy indicates the level of accuracy with which a certain position can be found again at a later point in time. The actual accuracy of the overall system may deviate from the abovementioned accuracy data. It depends on various influential factors such as vehicle factors (wheelbase, ballasting, calibration, etc.), attached implements (side pull, configuration, attached front implements, etc.), and field and soil conditions.
The pricing of the individual services depends upon the region and the provider. In the case of correction data services transmitted via mobile phone networks, availability is dependent on the coverage of the network provider used. CLAAS assumes no liability for circumstances or events beyond its control. These may include, for example, disturbances in the atmosphere/troposphere/ionosphere, breakdowns/disruptions or insufficient availability of satellites within global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO) and their ground reference stations or of satellites belonging to correction service providers (EGNOS, OMNISTAR, etc.). E-DIF is a patented correction algorithm which uses only standard GPS satellites to calculate a correction factor. E-DIF is therefore available worldwide as an alternative correction system in the basic accuracy segment and, within a few minutes, its accuracy is comparable with that of SBAS services (EGNOS, WAAS, etc.) for pass-to-pass applications.
Therefore E-DIF should only be used for pass-to-pass tracking. E-DIF is completely unsuitable for driving in blocks or for use in controlled traffic applications or machine fleets (e.g. combine harvesting). It is also impossible to record points for absolute positioning. Shifts in tracks (satellite drift) due to long interruptions in work can be corrected using an update function (setting a reference point).

How a Harvard rivalry changed Taiwan
TAIPEI, Taiwan
'I was educated to be patriotic — to be a proud Chinese," Annette Lu says as she sits imperiously in her spacious office in a skyscraper in Taipei.
Her aging face looms like a white powdered moon over her glittering black suit. She has just held a press conference, blasting Taiwan's president, Ma Ying-jeou.
She settles into a chair with a cup of green tea and tells me the story of her life — how her studies in the United States in the 1960s and '70s transformed her from an obedient student into one of Taiwan's most outspoken opposition figures.
Since then, she has survived an assassination attempt, five years imprisonment, and — after free elections finally came — eight years as vice president. She doesn't show it to me, but I know that under her clothes, there is a scar from a bullet wound near her knee.
I listen intently, because this is the story of how democracy came to the tiny island of Taiwan, and how it might one day take root on mainland China. Talk to Lu long enough, and democracy starts to feel downright inevitable
But the story that led me to Lu is a different one. A juicier one, about her bitter rivalry with President Ma, which began three deacades ago, at Harvard Law School.
Lu starts at the beginning. She was born on Taiwan, the daughter of a local shopkeeper who used to read the newspaper aloud to her, sparking her interest in politics. Back then, Taiwan was an authoritarian state, ruled by Kuomintang (or KMT) party, which had once governed all of China. When the communists swept across China in 1949, KMT stalwarts fled to Taiwan. But they never gave up their dream of retaking China. Every move they made was preparation for driving the communists out.
They banned the local languages spoken by the island people. Families that lived on Taiwan for generations were forced to speak like people did on the mainland. Anybody who dared suggest that the KMT stop focusing on defeating the communists — and instead improve life for Taiwanese — was considered a traitor.
Lu believed all the KMT propaganda when she was a child. Then she got a fellowship to study at the University of Illinois. She arrived in the late 1960s, just as feminist ideas were spreading in America. By the time she returned to Taiwan in 1971, she was an ardent activist, full of passionate views about how far Taiwan was lagging in economic development and human freedom.
She started a domestic violence hotline and a feminist coffee shop. But the KMT was watching her. She discovered that one of her hotline volunteers and the manager at the coffee house were both government spies.
"I felt so frustrated," she says.
But she was also making a name for herself. Renowned China expert Jerome Cohen convinced her to take a fellowship at Harvard Law School. In the bowels of Harvard's libraries, she found documents that enabled her to write a history of Taiwan — not as a renegade province of China, but as a nation in its own right. That was the beginning of Lu's outspoken calls for formal independence from China. She smuggled her subversive book into Taiwan by photographing each page and sending the rolls of undeveloped film.
But just as Lu geared up her activism, a new PhD student arrived at Harvard Law School: Ma Ying-jeou, who was born on mainland China to a senior KMT party official. Ma's father was so dedicated to the dream of reunifying with China that, after his death, a slogan about it was written on the urn that held his ashes.
Quiet and reserved, Ma set out to learn as much as he could about China. He took Cohen's classes on the Chinese legal system and wrote his thesis on oil in the South China sea.
He became Lu's nemesis. She felt he was watching everything she did and reporting back to the KMT.
When she organized a protest in Boston against the arrest of democracy activists in Taiwan, Lu says Ma photographed her from across the street.
When she invited a prominent dissident from Taiwan to Harvard to speak, Lu says Ma tipped off the KMT, which blocked him from getting on his flight.
As the struggle for democracy heated up in Taiwan, Lu went back home, with Cohen's blessing.
"You are nobody here, but you might become somebody at home," she says he told her. Then he added, half-joking: "If you get arrested, we'll try to bail you out."
A year later, after she gave a speech at a rally, she was thrown in prison. She passed the time writing novels on toilet paper. Even when she was struck with debilitating cancer, the government refused to let her out.
"The KMT hated me a lot," she says.
Ironically, it was Ma — her enemy at Harvard — who eventually set her free.
After Harvard, he worked at a bank in Boston and then became an interpreter for Taiwan's president, Chiang Ching-kuo, the son of longtime KMT leader Chiang Kai-shek.
Ma had been raised on KMT party ideology. But Harvard had exposed him to democracy. Five years after Lu's arrest, Professor Cohen traveled to Taiwan and pressed Ma, a rising star in the KMT, about why his former classmate was in prison. Apparently embarrassed, Ma had Lu moved to a hospital. He and Cohen visited her there. It was an emotional reunion. Lu recalls Cohen wiping away tears when he saw her lying emaciated on the hospital cot. She says he told her: "I never should have encouraged you to go back."
A week later, she was freed from jail.
"In that regard, I owe President Ma," she tells me.
But she was still forced to stay at home, under house arrest — until the KMT allowed her to take another fellowship at Harvard. She was living in Cambridge in 1987, when the KMT decided that democracy was the future, and announced an end to martial law.
Lu and her fellow activists were pardoned. They formed the largest opposition party. Lu was elected to parliament and eventually became Taiwan's vice president in the country's first peaceful transition of power.
"We proved that democracy can be achieved peacefully," Lu says.
Today, Taiwan is teeming with creative energy. Its coffers are bulging with foreign reserves. Dueling political views duke it out in the newspapers.
But Lu's time in office was not a big success. Her platform, which advocated officially breaking with the mainland, outraged China at every turn. US officials worried that her calls for independence would drag the United States — Taiwan's protector — into a war with China.
After eight years — and a string of corruption scandals — the KMT won the presidency back in a landslide. Their victorious candidate? None other than the indefatigable Ma Ying-jeou.
President Ma ushered in a new era of friendly relations with China. He negotiated a flurry of agreements to ease mail service, air travel, and trade. Nowadays, 90 planes fly each week between Taipei and Shanghai. Nearly 2 million Chinese tourists visited Taiwan last year.
"This is a real breakthrough," Cohen, mentor to both Ma and Lu, told me. Cohen is so proud of what his former student has accomplished that he believes one day Ma should be considered for a Nobel Prize.
But avoiding a war might not be Ma's biggest legacy. As Chinese visitors flock to Taipei, they bring back descriptions of Taiwan's vibrant, free society, just as Ma and Lu did when they came from America.
"Over the long run, by word of mouth, it will spread," says Chong-Pin Lin, professor of international relations at TamKang University. "Eventually China will ask the question: If the Taiwanese can, why can't we?"
So Taiwan's tourist industry just might take down communism, succeeding where its army failed.
But activists like Lu worry that Ma's cozy relationship to China is a plot to take away Taiwan's democracy and independence.
She grumbles about how the national museums and temples are always packed with Chinese tourists now. "I never go to those places anymore," she tells me, twisting her mouth as if she sucked on a lemon.
Instead, Lu spends her time protesting Ma at rallies where activists hold up signs that read: "We don't want China." After he was elected for a second term, she held a press conference to announce a long list of demands. One was that Ma appoint advisers from the opposition, like herself.
"Do you think he will listen?" I ask her.
She frowns at the very thought of him.
Then she says: "Probably not."

Advice to a Young IllustratorBy Sadie Stein
In 1961, a thirty-three-year-old Maurice Sendak wrote his editor, Harper & Row's Ursula Nordstrom, about his self-doubts as a writer. Letters of Note presents her response. It is full of great advice, but we especially love this:
The great Russians and Melville and Balzac etc. wrote in another time, in leisure, to be read in leisure. I know what you mean about those long detailed rich novels—my god the authors knew all about war, and agriculture, and politics. But that is one type of writing, for a more leisurely time than ours. You have your own note to sound, and you are sounding it with greater power and beauty all the time. Yes, Moby Dick is great, but honestly don't you see great gobs of it that could come out? Does that offend you, coming from a presumptuous editor? I remember lines of the most piercing beauty (after he made a friend there was something beautiful about "no more would my splintered hand and shattered heart be turned against the wolfish world.") But there are many passages which could have been cut.
Presciently, she added:
33 is still young for an artist with your potentialities. I mean, you may not do your deepest, fullest, richest work until you are in your forties. You are growing and getting better all the time.
No kidding: Sendak would write Where the Wild Things Are two years later, and the rest is children's book history!

Sailing for Life in Better Sailboats
Sailing is the ultimate freedom, the experience of being at one with nature and the sea, powered only by the wind and one's imagination. It's one of the few "life sports" that offers both a relaxing escape as well as an invigorating challenge. You pick your level of comfort and excitement. Sailing is never the same twice - each time on the water with your sailboat is a unique adventure that can enrich friendships, strengthen family ties, and refresh one's own sense of well-being. How many other outdoor activities can be shared with three or more family generations? It's been said there are two types of sailors in the world - the young and the young-at-heart.

This site- is a Texas rural lender that has applications such as an US mortgage calculator with amortization schedules, country home loans and construction loans. CFC's tool box has great useful features. As an example I have added details of what a 5,000 construction loan amortization chart and a $1,500 construction loan payment ( for a septic for instance) schedule for 3 years would look like below with Amortization schedule,monthly principal with payments,balance capital,paid total,capital interests, and paid total interest. Calculations would be similar for a personal loan with collateral.
2) http://findfarmcredit.com/finance-property-agriculture.aspx
As the nation's largest rural lender, Farm Credit offers a wide variety of financial solutions and loan programs to meet the needs of agriculture and rural America. In Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas, there are 18 local Farm Credit lending cooperatives, operating more than 200 rural financing offices throughout the five states. This great web-site offers county by county resources for your financing needs! Don't forget to check out home page for more great country living resources!
3) http://wwwdb.glo.state.tx.us/vlb/broker-lender/brokers/VLBVetBrokerSearch.cfm
This site searches for you qualified broker by city or county of your choice with neat search application page and all other pertinent information for VA loan. The Texas Veterans Land Board originates all loans for the Texas Veterans Land Program. Little Known facts such as and For example on mobile homes and shell homes, title insurance for VA loan, and credit life insurance details can be found.
Mobile Homes/Shell Homes;
No value will be given to a shell home, mobile home or any other structure located on the property at the time of financing. However, should you decide to finance and move a mobile home onto the property without first obtaining a partial release, the lender may ask for a mobile home waiver from the VLB. This allows the lender to come onto the property and remove the mobile home in case of a default on the mobile home loan. When requested by you and the lender, the Texas Veterans Land Board will execute this waiver.
Title Insurance;
The Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) requires title insurance policies on all tracts of land purchased through the Texas Veterans Land Program. This insurance policy obligates the issuing title company to defend problems regarding the title that began or existed prior to the VLB's financing. A mortgagee and owner's policy are required
Credit Life Insurance;
Credit life insurance purchased through the VLB is optional. If you choose to receive the coverage and you or your insured spouse dies, the remaining balance on your loan will be paid in full by the insurance carrier. Premium rates can be obtained by contacting Minnesota Mutual at 1-800-720-1728.
