Obama: 'Freedom of Religion Is Under Threat'
President Barack Obama said religious freedom is under threat, and highlighted the plight of two American Christians held in North Korea and Iran.
In his address to the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual gathering of lawmakers and numerous faith leaders, Mr. Obama said it's clear that "around the world freedom of religion is under threat." He said the U.S. works with countries that don't live up to America's standard of religious tolerance and pointed to China as an example. He said America's relationship with the Chinese is important to the world but said that he stresses in meetings with Chinese leaders the need to uphold universal rights for Christians, Tibetan Buddhists and others.
"Nations that do not uphold these rights sow the bitter seeds of instability and violence and extremism. So freedom of religion matters to our national security," he said.

He cited North Korea, where Christian-American missionary Kenneth Bae has been held for more than a year because of his and was recently sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for unspecified "hostile acts." The U.S. has sought his release and Mr. Obama vowed "the United States will continue to do everything in our power to secure his release, because Kenneth Bae deserves to be free."
Mr. Obama also mentioned Pastor Saeed Abedini, who was arrested in Iran for his efforts to spread Christianity and sentenced to eight years in prison on national security charges. "As we continue to work for his freedom, today, again, we call on the Iranian government to release Pastor Abedini, so he can return to the loving arms of his wife and children in Idaho," the president said.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) was quick to tweet her approval. "Appreciate POTUS' prayers this AM for Americans Kenneth Bae & Saeed Abedini imprisoned in North Korea & Iran-we pray for their release."
On the Mideast, Mr. Obama said the U.S. has made clear to Israelis and Palestinians "that lasting peace will require freedom of worship and access to holy sites for all faiths."
Mr. Obama, a Christian, told the gathering that God's teachings led him to do community service in Chicago and to his wife, Michelle. His faith, he said, "led me to public service, and the longer I serve, especially in moments of trial or doubt, the more thankful I am of God's guiding hand."

The blockbuster phenomenon that charts an amazing journey of the mind while revolutionizing our concept of memory.
An instant bestseller that is poised to become a classic, Moonwalking with Einstein recounts Joshua Foer's yearlong quest to improve his memory under the tutelage of top "mental athletes". He draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of remembering, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human memory. From the United States Memory Championship to deep within the author's own mind, this is an electrifying work of journalism that reminds us that, in every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.
Watch a video
"Absolutely phenomenal… Part of the beauty of this book is that it makes clear how memory and understanding are not two different things. Building up the ability to reason and the ability to retain information go hand in hand… The book reminds us that we all start off with pretty much the same tools for the most part, and we can be intentional about strengthening them, or not."

"Is this Mrs. John Doe? I'm Benjamin Franklin from the Service Center for Advice on Major Medical Issues of the National Government. We've been asked to contact people like you who have questions about Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act."
"Oh, thank heaven you've called, Mr. Franklin. I have no idea how the new law will affect me. Can you explain it?"
"Why, certainly, Mrs. Doe. I'll just need a little information to be certain you qualify for federal health insurance assistance.
"Just give me your birth date, Social Security number, and bank account information, if you will..."
Don't be surprised if you get a phone call like that during the next year or so.
In all likelihood, millions of such calls will be placed -by crooks trying to scam you out of your money.
Only in their wildest dreams have most scammers imagined anything like Obamacare. It'll be a gold mine for some.
Think about it: The government admits tens of millions of Americans are going to need professional help understanding how Obamacare affects them and knowing how to sign up for the law's various programs.
Thoughtful folks are worried that some of the people hired by the government as "navigators" will use their positions to get information for identity theft schemes.
Some of the organizations given grants to provide navigator services don't even conduct background checks of people they hire.
But many scam artists will simply pick up the same telephones they use to commit their crimes now.
Obamacare will make it so much easier - because virtually everyone is a potential "mark." The law affects every American in some way. Many - no, make that the vast majority - don't really know what the new rules mean to them.
Many know the government plans to hire an enormous number of navigators to help educate the public.
Easy pickings.
Here's the deal: You may be taking a big chance giving personal information to someone you know beyond any doubt is a government navigator.
But don't even think of giving it to someone who calls on the phone.
And when someone does, call the cops.

All of those cause more deaths than guns, its the only logical solution right.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
August 1, 2012
When the class of 2016 arrives on the Saint Vincent College campus this fall, they will begin a five-week orientation program designed to ease the transition from high school to college life with one of the most lengthy programs in the country. "Our orientation program will have a variety of events which will be spread over a month's time," explained Jeff Mallory, coordinator of campus and multicultural student life who oversees the student-planned program. "With the five-week program of orientation events, Saint Vincent has one of the longer programs in the area. We want to take the time to ensure that all new students get a solid start, both academically and socially, here in the Saint Vincent community. These orientation events and activities focus on student success." The transition to college life at Saint Vincent begins the moment freshmen set foot on campus. "New students and their families experience our hospitality – one of the most important characteristics of this Catholic, Benedictine College of which we are most proud," Mr. Mallory continued. "As in the past years, each arriving vehicle will be greeted by enthusiastic upper-class orientation committee volunteers who provide baggage service to the residence hall rooms, a longstanding tradition most appreciated by family members who might otherwise expect to be making repeated trips to unload books, clothes, computers and other essentials. The orientation committee at Saint Vincent takes pride in helping others during the move-in process." More than 300 freshmen will move into one of the 21 "pods" in Saint Benedict Hall, an all-freshman residence hall on campus on August 23. A pod is a group of ten to 12 rooms that share lounge areas and bathrooms. Students will begin classes four days later on August 27 after participating in Saint Vincent College's fourth comprehensive community service day at dozens of locations throughout the area on Friday afternoon, August 24. Among the social events planned this fall are some that have been held annually for years such as a graffiti dance (students autograph t-shirts), student/faculty karaoke and dessert night (faculty make treats, students eat them) and a weekend mystery trip (no one knows the final destination except the bus driver). Some activities sound ominous but aren't. Pod wars bring students together for friendly competitions that provide bonding and fun with themes such as human battleship, scavenger hunt, SVC's Got Talent and ultimate finish finale. Other planned activities include a trip to a Pittsburgh Pirates' game on Labor Day, a Labor Day Weekend bonfire, a game of Minute to Win It and a visit to the Pittsburgh Zoo. Saint Vincent Orientation also includes a big brother/big sister program that pairs every new student with an upper-class mentor, an academic orientation and freshman seminar, meetings on career planning, drug and substance abuse education, personal safety and Benedictine values, and an online parent program.

It's still just Kate plus eight.
Kate Gosselin revealed Wednesday on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers that she's still single, though she's open to the idea of dating.
"I am lonely," says the former reality star mom, 36. "I clean up the house, put kids to bed, and there I sit. Ideally I would find that person – I don't know if I feel ready for that."
Asked if she has a love life, she replied: "No. I'm too busy. I think a lot of my friends, who are being constructive, say, 'Gosh, who are you going to meet that is going to be able to deal with eight kids?' My answer is always if they can deal with eight kids in our situation, it probably will be the person."
But she admits: "The odds are so against me, one mom and eight kids."
Gosselin also offered an update on her ex-husband Jon, saying things have improved between them recently.
"He basically lives his life and I live mine. It's more peaceful," she said. "Possibly he's working now and so he feels like he's living a regular life again and maybe a little happier with himself, so that boils down to peace between us. The kids are now okay going there."
Of Jon's parenting, she adds: "I feel like he's trying again. That's good. The bottom line is the kids come home basically happy and that's all that matters."

Baby and Cat
Ginger and Little M a few months ago when Ginger could sit and relax, secure in the knowledge that M could only look, not touch.
Ginger and M these days, with M chasing Ginger all over the room.
But of course, they love to play with each other too! :)

Explore the Garden of Ireland
Welcome to Powerscourt Gardens in County Wicklow, one of the most beautiful gardens in Ireland! The gardens at Powerscourt were laid out over two main periods. Many of the people involved in their creation and development never saw the gardens completed in their lifetime. When the house was rebuilt in the decade after 1731, the surrounding grounds were also remodelled. The design reflected the desire to create a garden which was part of the wider landscape. And what a view it is! To the North formal tree plantations framed the vista from the house, while a walled garden, fish pond, cascades, grottos and terraces lay to the South. Walks wound through the wooded grounds and a fine tree lined avenue was created. When you arrive at the tree lined avenue today, hundreds of beech trees will guide your visit.
One of Ireland's leading architects
A century later the 6th Viscount Powerscourt instructed his architect, Daniel Robertson, to draw up new schemes for the gardens. Robertson was one of the leading proponents of Italianate garden design which was influenced by the terraces and formal features of Italian Renaissance villas and perfected in gardens in France and Germany. Robertson designed the terrace nearest the house. He is said to have suffered from gout and directed operations from a wheelbarrow, fortified by a bottle of sherry. When the sherry was finished, work ceased for the day!
The development of the Gardens
The death of the 6th Viscount in 1844 meant that alterations to the gardens ceased until his son resumed the work in the late 1850s. Using a combination of Robertson's designs and the plans of the other landscape experts, the terraces were completed, enormous numbers and varieties of trees were planted and the ground adorned with an amazing collection of statuary, ironwork and other decorative items. By the time of his death in 1904, the 7th Viscount had transformed the Estate. Further generations of the Wingfields maintained the grounds, adding the Japanese Gardens, Pepper Pot Tower and continuing to plant specimen trees. In 1961 the Estate passed to the Slazenger family, under whose aegis the Gardens received much care and attention.
Today our visitors continue to enjoy the gardens which first began to take shape over two and a half centuries ago. The charming walled garden, the striking terraces, fine statuary and varied trees are linked by carefully designed walks and set in the magnificent surroundings of the Wicklow mountains. Together they form one of the most beautiful Gardens in Ireland.

Solar Flare
May 7, 2011
Today Second Life took us all the way to London to learn about how the Sun affects the Earth. We talked to Dr. Joanna Haigh, a scientist who studies how changes in the sun may affect Earth's climate. The Sun even appeared in the auditorium during the talk!
Not only did we learn about the Sun today, we found a way to view it safely through a telescope on the Museum's rooftop Weintraub Observatory. We could clearly see sunspots on the surface – these are "cool" regions of the Sun because they're "only" 3000°C. (I guess that's cool compared to the surrounding 6000°C temperatures!) Solar flares, which occur around sunspots, are solar storms that can actually disrupt communications here on Earth. It's incredible that something 93 million miles away affects us!
After using the telescopes, we made our own camera out of a potato chip can (and got to eat the chips too). We cut the can into two sections, and put it back together with the lid in between – this would be the screen for the camera. We poked a tiny hole in the bottom of the can, and when we looked through it, everything was upside down and backwards! Can you figure out why?

The small, plain, white coffin was a stark reminder of the toll that gun violence can have on a community.
And even though the funeral was about to begin, no one was sad. Nobody shed a tear.
Instead, everyone in the audience cheered when the casket was closed.
Inside were dozens of toy guns turned in by children ages 6 to 16, who participated in the Toy Gun Exchange on Friday afternoon in the Delavan Grider Community Center.
The children could exchange a toy gun for a new, nonviolent toy such as a basketball or soccer ball. The purpose was to show kids that a toy gun today can be a real gun tomorrow.
"The reason why we turn in toy guns is because we don't want you to get too comfortable with holding them," said Leonard Lane, who presided over the fake funeral in front of 65 youngsters in attendance.
"Guns have been killing our loved ones for years. Now is the time to bury the guns because they've been burying us for years," said Lane, who is president of F.A.T.H.E.R.S., which stands for Fathers Armed Together to Help, Educate, Restore and Save. The community group has sponsored the event for the past few years.
Friday, 10-year-old Kamren Black turned in a dart gun and another one that turns into a sword, he said. Violence committed with real firearms is something with which he is all too familiar.
"I'm tired of people getting killed by guns. It's very sad because some of my family members have been killed by guns," he said.
In a role-playing demonstration, Kamren helped Buffalo Police Officer Steve Nichols make a point about how toy guns seem innocent but can be very dangerous.
The exercise involved Kamren pulling out a fake gun and pointing it at Nichols, who was in character as a police officer on patrol. Not being able to identify the toy as a fake, Nichols simulated shooting Kamren, who played dead.
"If you point this at a police officer, he could think it's a real gun," Nichols told the children.
Darnell Murphy, 11, didn't hand over any fake guns because his grandmother does not let him have them, he said. But the message of the day's event was not lost on him.
"They want to make sure kids don't mess with guns when they're older," he said.
Rita Gay came with her twin 8-year-old sons, Zyion and Keyion. She doesn't buy toy guns for her boys, but she brought them to the Toy Gun Exchange anyway because it's never too early for them to learn, she said.
"It's a perfect time to bring them a little reality," she said.
Another parent turned in what looked like an assault weapon. It even came with its own fake magazine.
"She said, 'I gotta get this out of my house,' " said Murray Holman, of the Stop the Violence Coalition, another sponsor of Friday's event.
"This is what legislation is talking about banning now," he said, holding up the toy and the accessory.
When Lane asked the group of children how many of them had received toy guns as Christmas presents, about 20 children raised their hands. He said too many youngsters are getting so used to the toys that many of them are walking around with them tucked in their pants. They think it's the "in" thing.
"Many of them sleep with them under their pillows. They pull them out of their back pockets," Lane said.
A lot of teenagers use fake guns and embellish them to look even more real because it's what they have access to, Nichols said. They spray-paint them and use them to hold people up.
And even though it is a fake, the danger is that the person with the toy could end up being the one who gets hurt.
"If you pull out a toy gun and point it at someone who has a real gun, they will shoot you. They don't know the difference," Nichols said.
The bottom line is that kids should not get too comfortable with fake firearms, organizers said. If they get too comfortable at a young age, eventually they may want real guns.
"If you desensitize yourself enough to play with toy guns, you'll be comfortable enough to pull the trigger on a real gun when you're older," said Nichols, who swore in all the kids as junior police officers.
"Kids don't need to have these," he added. "There are so many other toys out there."

Police are investigating a number of unrelated burglaries and robberies in Niagara County – most of them in Niagara Falls, including an armed robbery Wednesday at a 7-Eleven.
A 7-Eleven in the 1500 block of Pine Avenue was hit by an armed robber at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The clerk told police that a man wearing all black clothing, black gloves and a black bandana covering his face threatened the clerk with a small knife. The robber made off with $45, all in dollar bills.
In another case, in the 1100 block of Pierce Avenue in the Falls, a 39-year-old man said that just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, two men jumped him, punched him several times and took $290 from his pocket.
The victim, who was described as intoxicated, had minor scratches and was unable to identify the men, Niagara Falls police reported.
Also in the Falls, at 9 p.m. Monday in the 2000 block of 18th Street, a 27-year-old woman said she was robbed by two women after she left an 18th Street store. The victim, who reported the crime to police on Tuesday, said the two women pushed her and punched her, and fled after taking her bookbag, which contained the narcotic Suboxone, an unknown amount of cash, her driver's license, Social Security card and other personal papers.
Several burglaries also were reported this week. Among them:
• A 48-year-old 70th Street man told Niagara Falls police Tuesday that a book of First Niagara Bank checks was taken from his house and $600 was withdrawn from his account.
• A Niagara Falls visitor told police that her backpack was stolen Tuesday morning after she accidentally left it behind on the sidewalk while loading items into a taxi. She said she was on the Main Street side of the Comfort Inn when she boarded the taxi to leave for the airport. She said she called police to check the location, but that the backpack was no longer there. The black Kenneth Cole backpack contained a Macbook, Macbook Pro, checkbook and memory stick.
• In the 700 block of 20th Street in Niagara Falls, a woman told police Tuesday night that she allowed a male friend to stay overnight at her residence and she left him alone for several hours. When she returned, her 52-inch television, a laptop and a coffee maker were gone.
• In Gasport, the owner of the Canalside Inn, 4331 Main St., told Niagara County sheriff's deputies Tuesday that sometime tried to break into the building over the weekend.
• In Wheatfield, a 79-year-old Brookhaven Drive woman told deputies on Wednesday that she was notified by Key Bank that her debit card was used unlawfully in India, with two transactions of $1,065 and $600.

Social media has a way of bringing out the worst in some people, and Penn State kicker Sam Ficken has been a target of numerous vicious comments since missing four field goals and an extra point in Saturday's 17-16 loss at Virginia.
"I think it's absolutely ridiculous," PSU coach Bill O'Brien said of the verbal attacks aimed at Ficken on the Internet. "Not just because it's a 19-year-old college kid, it's just because, I mean, it's anonymous in some ways, and in other ways it's not."
One especially mean Twitter comment under the #samficken hashtag suggested for the kicker that "there are lots of mountains he can choose from to jump off of upon his return to un-happy Valley."
Article Video
O'Brien had a tough time with the names of two social media sites, but his message to some of the commenters was clear.
"[The players] are really playing hard, giving great effort for us," the coach said. "To go on whatever, spacebook or tweeter, or whatever and put stuff on there is just absolutely ridiculous to me and very cowardly. ... I just don't know what type of people do that."
Ficken's rough Saturday ended with him missing a 42-yard field goal on the game's final play. He also missed from 40, 38 and 20 yards, had an extra point block and made one kick from 32 yards.
"I think it's unfortunate for him to be taking so much scrutiny as a 19-year-old," receiver Allen Robinson said.
His teammates spent the past few days helping the kicker keep his spirits up.
"Nobody's down on Ficken," cornerback Adrian Amos said.
"Ficken knows that he's a better player than that," said Robinson, who also added, "Ficken had a bad day. We definitely have faith in Ficken."
Despite his struggles, Ficken remains Penn State's best option. The sophomore, who is on scholarship, remains the only place-kicker listed on the depth chart.
There is a kicking competition each week, and the coaches keep track of every aspect for each player, such as accuracy and percentages during practice.
"Sam, obviously, he's got to do better in his technique, and he's really working on it," O'Brien said. "I mean, he must have kicked 300 kicks yesterday in practice, so he's really working on it, and he takes a lot of pride in it."
The coach, who later added the 300 kicks was an exaggerated number, praised Ficken for being a great kid who's bright and calm and has great perspective. O'Brien also refused to place all the blame on his kicker, especially since the offense had plenty of problems of its own.
"We can't take four turnovers from our defense and come away with only three points." the coach said. "That's ridiculous, and we all know that."
SUBHD: Running concerns
O'Brien continues to say he's not worried about the depth at running back, even though his two top threats are questionable for this week.
Starter Bill Belton missed the Virginia game with an ankle injury, while backup Derek Day, who got the start, injured his left shoulder.
"Not sure if they're going to be able to play," O'Brien said of those two.
If not, Zach Zwinak and Curtis Dukes will be the primary tailbacks, and the coach added that fullback Michael Zordich also might be more involved in the running game.
O'Brien again reiterated his stance that he'd like to redshirt freshman running back Akeel Lynch. He called Lynch a "very, very good player" and added, "If he's got to play, he knows he'll be ready to play."
SUBHD: Injury updates
Quarterback Matt McGloin did not throw in practice Monday as O'Brien let him rest his right elbow that was injured in the first half at Virginia.
"He looks all right to me," O'Brien said. "He's a tough kid."
Left tackle Donovan Smith is day to day after "some bumps and bruises," O'Brien said. Smith has missed time in the first two games with leg injuries.
Defensive end Pete Massaro also is questionable after suffering a shoulder injury at Virginia.
"I'm a little banged up right now," Massaro said.
Linebacker Nyeem Wartman has a knee injury and, like Belton, Day and Massaro, is listed as possible on PSU's injury report.
SUBHD: Owning up to it
Penn State's secondary continues to be a concern after two weeks, and Amos even admitted the unit hasn't played well enough to escape criticism.
"No, I don't think we have done enough," he said. "I think we can make a lot more plays. We just have to start capitalizing and playing better."
Robinson put up big numbers with 10 catches for 89 yards and a TD, but he also dropped passes on two consecutive plays at one point and wasn't able to hold onto a TD catch late in the first half.
"I definitely think that's a pass I should have caught," Robinson said before later adding, "I was kind of down. I had a couple drops on Saturday, so my teammates tried to pick me up."

Chefs Battle for Taste and Speed Prizes at Dairy Farmers of Oregon Ice Cream Churn-a-ment
Chefs Battle for Taste and Speed Prizes at Dairy Farmers of Oregon Ice Cream Churn-a-ment
Ice Cream Month celebration will also feature free ice cream samples
The Dairy Farmers of Oregon Ice Cream Churn-a-ment features six local chefs competing to see who can best capture "the taste of summer in Oregon." The Churn-a-ment is Friday, July 12, from noon to 1 p.m. at Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The event is free to the public, and ice cream lovers of all ages can sample some of the 22 million gallons of ice cream produced in Oregon every year. Lochmead Farms, Umpqua Dairy and Sunshine Dairy Foods will provide free ice cream samples, and New Seasons Market will prepare free ice cream floats, while supplies last.
The chefs will work in teams using wooden, hand-crank, ice cream churns. The judges will select two winners. One award will be for taste and the other for speed. The speed award will be given to the team that hand-cranks their ice cream the fastest.
Oregon cream is the base for each competitor's ice cream creation. Milk and cream from Oregon is some of the highest quality in the nation, consistently ranking as one the top five states every year.
The chef line-up includes:
Jason French of Ned Ludd – Jason is a veteran of Portland's culinary scene and draws from the bounty of Oregon at his wood-fired restaurant. His American craft kitchen has no freezer, but he's trying his hand at ice cream.
Clare Gordon of Ava Gene's – Clare takes a whole new look at old world Italy at Ava Gene's. They will soon open Roman Candle Bakery Co. next door. Bet they'll bring a marble slab and a festive candle for their competition table.
Sarah Pliner, Jasper Shen, and Kat Whitehead of Aviary - This is Aviary's second trip to the Churn-a-ment. They were Willamette Week's 2012 Restaurant of the Year and are expected to bring their eclectic, Asian fusion approach to their ice cream creation.
Alissa Rozos of St. Jack – Alissa is known for her delicate, delicious French pastries. She's been running the patisserie and plating desserts for the restaurant since 2010. She was recently inducted into the 2013 class of Eater Young Guns.
Chad Draizin of 50 Licks - Chad knows about ice cream. His brand is based on the number of licks it takes to polish off a scoop. His first brick-and-mortar scoop shop will open soon and is next to St. Jack. Chad and Alissa may be friends on the street, but competitors when the cranking begins.
Johanna Ware of Smallwares – Johanna brings extensive experience from studying with the best at New York hot spots like Del Posto, Momofuku Ssäm Bar and Public. Smallwares is also Willamette Week's Restaurant of the Year Runner-Up for 2012. She loves big flavors and we expect her ice cream will be something to crave.
The judges hail from both the farm and the table. Kaitie Brawley, Oregon's Dairy Princess Ambassador will team up with experts in the kitchen to select the winners. Andina's pastry chef Megan Vargas and Michael Gibbons, owner of Papa Haydn's have both won the taste category at past Churn-a-ments and know the look and taste of a winning flavor. Portland's own Daria O'Neill, afternoon host on 105.1 the Buzz (KRSK-FM) will emcee this family-friendly event.
