UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council unanimously voted Saturday to impose new sanctions against Iran for its refusal to stop enriching uranium - a move intended to show Tehran that defiance will leave it increasingly isolated.
The moderately tougher sanctions include banning Iranian arms exports, and freezing the assets of 28 people and organizations involved in Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
About a third of those are linked to the Revolutionary Guard, an elite military corps.
The United States is "very pleased by the strength of this resolution" after two years of diplomacy, said R. Nicholas Burns, undersecretary for political affairs at the State Department.
In December, the 15-member Security Council ordered all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs. It also ordered a freeze on assets of 10 key Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.
"It's a significant international rebuke to Iran and it's a significant tightening of international pressure on Iran," Burns said. "We do believe it's going to leave Iran even more isolated than it has been."
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki rejected the sanctions and said Iran had no intention of suspending its enrichment program.
"The world must know - and it does - that even the harshest political and economic sanctions or other threats are far too weak to coerce the Iranian nation to retreat from their legal and legitimate demands," Mottaki told the Security Council after the vote. "Suspension is neither an option nor a solution."
Mottaki made the trip instead of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who claimed he canceled his appearance because the U.S. failed to deliver his visa in time. The U.S. said it had issued the visa promptly.
The six world powers that drafted the new resolution spent Friday trying to overcome objections from several council members, reflecting concerns that anything short of consensus would weaken efforts to rein in Iran's nuclear defiance.
There were several minor concessions but no changes to the key sanctions agreed upon last week by the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany.
The new sanctions - already a compromise between the stronger measures favored by the United States and the Europeans and the softer approach advocated by Russian and China - are considered modest. The ban on exports is among the harshest measures, but many of Iran's arms sales might not be affected because they are illicitly sent to militant groups like Lebanon's Hezbollah and Shiite militias in Iraq.
Still, world powers hoped that approving the resolution quickly and unanimously would signal that Iran will face stricter sanctions each time it ignores a Security Council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to produce nuclear energy or nuclear weapons.
"This resolution sends an unambiguous signal to the government and people of Iran ... that the path of nuclear proliferation by Iran is not one that the international community can accept," said British Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry.

Former Ireland rugby coach Eddie O'Sullivan is to act as High Performance Advisor to the Irish Olympic Handball Association.
Former Ireland rugby coach Eddie O'Sullivan is to act as High Performance Advisor to the Irish Olympic Handball Association.
The organisation announced yesterday that O'Sullivan was to join their team of advisors, which also includes coach Tony Gerona Salaet of FC Barcelona, fitness coach David Matthews, the former runner, and sports pyschologist Stephen McIvor.
Over 5,000 people play Olympic Handball at schools level in Ireland and the national men's team is set to bid for qualification for the European Championships in 2014 with matches against Romania, Israel and Belgium in the coming months.
Ireland is currently ranked 41 of 50 nations in Europe, and the intention is to accelerate the progress ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro.
O'Sullivan said: "It is a very exciting time for Olympic Handball in Ireland. The growth of the game nationwide and the structures being put in place around the National Team gives the sport a tremendous opportunity to advance within the European rankings in the near future. I am looking forward to assisting the organisation in accelerating that development."
O'Sullivan still hopes to secure a major job in rugby and this week expressed an interest in taking over at Munster when current head coach Tony McGahan returns to Australia.
The province has settled on a shortlist of five candidates. O'Sullivan, current forwards coach Anthony Foley, New Zealander Wayne Smith and Michael Bradley, formerly Connacht coach but now in charge of Edinburgh, are among those who have been linked with the role.

I had a great hair day yesterday! I got my hair cut on Saturday and did not wash my hair until Monday. Yesterday I used PlayCurl Poo and Condish, Neutrogena Triple Moisture and GF Smoothing Milk as leave-ins. Then I used Ouidad Climate Control gel and plopped for 15 minutes. I then diffused upside down. Then I was rushed (had to bring my parents to the airport), so I touched the top of my hair and it frizzed. So I put some Suave Aloe Vera Gel on the top (at my roots) for volume and then on the sides where I frizzed. By noon, my hair was frizz free and had volume at the top and curls/waves on the bottom. By 4 it was still good. The curls started to droop by 7 (but that is the Ouidad CC, it always does that). But my curls clumped and were soft and frizz free.
ANYWAY...it was the best hair day I have had since going natural. YAY!
Still waiting for my Boots....
Type 2C/3A, Medium texture and I have a ton of it, long hair, brunette, flat crown.

Favourable 'partial ruling' given in spat with Cooper: Apollo
"We are pleased that the Delaware Court has found that Apollo is not in breach of its merger agreement with Cooper Tire. Furthermore, the Court found that Apollo has used 'reasonable best efforts' to negotiate with the United Steelworkers (USW) and that, contrary to Cooper's claims, 'nothing in Apollo's conduct indicates buyer's remorse'," Apollo Tyres said in a statement.
Apollo continues to believe in the merits of the combination and is committed to finding a sensible way forward, it added.
In October, Cooper filed a complaint in Delaware Court of Chancery to push for completion of their merger and stated that the Indian firm was seeking to delay an agreement with USW, which represents Cooper employees at facilities in Findlay, Ohio, and Texarkana, Arkansas.
Apollo had denied this but sought price reduction in the USD 2.5-billion deal citing problems related to the US firm's operations in China and concessions to the workers' union but was rejected by Cooper.
Earlier this week, Cooper had said it has reached tentative agreements with USW aimed at helping it close the deal with Apollo.
In June, Apollo had announced to acquire Cooper Tire & Rubber Co in an all-cash transaction valued at around USD 2.5 billion (nearly Rs 14,500 crore) and the merged entity was billed to become the seventh largest tyre maker in the world.
In a statement later in the day, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company said it is "disappointed with the decision of the Delaware Chancery Court that Apollo did not breach its obligation to expeditiously reach an agreement with the United Steelworkers per the terms of the merger agreement."
Cooper is assessing its options with respect to this decision and awaits the court's ruling on other open matters in this case, it added.

WorkNet Pinellas offers little info on petition flap
The chairman of the WorkNet Pinellas board, Bill Protz, said today he's not worried about losing federal money for WorkNet after students in the workforce agency's YouthBuild program were discovered seeking petitions for County Commission candidate Beverley Billiris.
But Protz said he hasn't gotten all the information he needs to assess how the miscue was handled. Not that much was given or sought during Wednesday's board meeting.
"I think they should have given us more clarification," said Clearwater City Council member George Cretekos, a board member, noting the troubles over spending at Hillsborough's workforce agency has prompoted public skepticism.
President Ed Peachey told board members only that the YouthBuild program director Robyn Poppick was dismissed, and he has provided information to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Labor Department has launched an investigation into how student in YouthBuild -- funded by $700,000 from the stimulus -- would up seeking petition signatures for Billiris. The agency could receive $400,000 more, but only if federal officials approve of the handling of YouthBuild.
Peachey told Bay Buzz that Poppick, who contributed $50 to Billiris' campaign, was given no severance but declined to immediately provide her salary. He said the Labor Department was told in advance that she would be fired. Jeanette Gemmer, special projects coordinator for youths, will now oversee the YouthBuild program.

Burning Bush Smoked IPA
(Golden Road Brewing)
Wow, a "Smoked IPA"! Definitely a first in my book and perhaps the first version of this "style" that I've ever seen. As much as I'm leaning towards being a bit apprehensive, I'm also quite excited to try something that sounds so unique and new. Burning Bush is Golden Road's second release in their "Custom IPA" series. This was also their fall "seasonal" which ties in with the name of the beer and the can design. It was first released as a draught-only offering during the breweries opening celebration last year. Yeah, hard to believe that they've only been brewing for just over a year.
From the Golden Road site:
"Brewmaster Jon Carpenter had a vision so absurd in scope that it took his brew team tasting the finished Burning Bush to believe that his revelation was divine. The first known Rauch IPA to our knowledge, Burning Bush uses the smoked malt characterized by a traditional German style Rauchbier with the hops of an west coast IPA. This deep copper colored ale has a light smoky aroma that sits atop a generous floral and piney hopping. At 8%, it's difficult to taste the alcohol in this smooth-drinking IPA. With its wispy smoke character, Burning Bush is also an incredible complement to grilled foods."
Here we go...
Pour – golden peachy in appreaance with a nice clean and clear hue as well as a half inch or so of white head. Leaves some nice lacing as it fades.
Aroma - stick a nose in a glass of Burning Bush and you'll be left picking out aromas for awhile. The first thing that hits the senses is a combination of sweet citrus and a campfire. The smokiness is there but not overly assertive in the aroma. It's amazing how much piney hoppy aroma this is packing but never without that smokiness coming into play in the background. As a fan of both rauchbiers and big hoppy IPAs this is really a treat to take in.
Taste – one sip and you know you've gotten the best of both worlds. My palate instantly starts picking out the smokey malt flavors that swirl around inside my mouth and begin to dry out my tongue while at the same time there is a barrage of big citrusy and piney hop flavors. This is all backed up by a good deal of regular malt sweetness as this is weighing in at 8% - but you'd never know it from the way it tastes. I love the flavor combination here. The hops are big and bold and the smokiness is at a level where its not overpowering but very, very present. This is delicious and unique and my tastebuds aren't all that sure what is going on - but they do know they're quite happy to try something so new and exciting!
Overall – holy sh*t! This is a beer like none other that I've had in quite some time. At a time when most beers are placed in specific categories it really is nice to try something that is both unique and ridiculously good. It should be interesting to see if other breweries try something similar as this is one of the best new beers I've had in a long time.
Notes - the design on the can, and everyone of Golden Road's cans, is from a picture taken by a local photographer. The Burning Bush can features an image of the Griffith Park (a large municipal park in Los Angeles) wildfires that took place in 2007. It is certainly a striking image for a can of beer and really shows how far we've come with the art and design of today's cans.

Is bad penmanship a prerequisite for President Obama's second-term Cabinet?
Newly minted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel signed off on a letter to a former Senate colleague this week with a scrawly, nearly illegible version of his signature. We're pretty sure it's his signature, at least, but we arrived at that only by deduction, based on its placement.
It appears he's giving Treasury Secretary Jack Lew a run for his money.
Lew, whose John Hancock will grace every dollar bill being issued, was roundly mocked (including by the Loop) for his loopy signature.
Here's a letter Hagel wrote to Sen. Barbara Boxer (he apparently wrote an identical one to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in response to a letter the two sent him, but only Boxer posted hers on her Web site).
Hagel added two friendly flourishes to the typewritten missive. In a slash of blue ink, he crossed out the formal address "Dear Senator Boxer" and replaced that with "Barbara." That part we could read.
But his sign-off was nearly impossible to decipher. A strangely formed "C" starts the affair, which breaks down into a strange mountain range in the middle and ends with a spastic-looking shape that one could only vaguely recognize as a "k." Could be, he was matching the informal tone of the opening by signing the note "Chuck."
Or not. Others who've looked at it thought it was his full signature. Other guesses included "eskimo," and one conspiracy-minded viewer read "CIA is OK." What say you, Loop fans?
Hagel doesn't have to sign all the dollar bills the way Lew does. But still, he has to put his pen to paper on occasion. Perhaps Obama should add a handwriting lesson to the next Cabinet meeting?
The grilled-shrimp appetizer had just arrived at the 128th annual press-and-pols Gridiron Club dinner Saturday night when NAACP President Benjamin Jealous fell into conversation with a fellow white-tied dinner guest about the Supreme Court's recent argument over the Voting Rights Act.
The distinguished-looking gentleman told Jealous he thought that NAACP Legal Defense Fund lawyer Debo P. Adegbile had done a fine job arguing that the law needed to be continued.
Sure, but, Jealous wondered aloud, what happened to the solicitor general? He was just awful.
Well, I am the solicitor general, replied Donald Verrilli Jr.
An apparently mortified Jealous apologized profusely and excused himself from the table for what seemed to folks like an awfully long time, returning just about when the famous Gridiron petits fours arrived with coffee.
Jealous resumed apologizing on his return.
We heard this story from two separate witnesses who overheard every word of the only-in-Washington conversation. Jealous, however, doesn't remember it that way. "It didn't happen," an NAACP spokesman tells the Loop.
Either way, there's a moral to the story: In Washington, always know who you're speaking to. (And who's within earshot.)
Reporters at the State Department — and around the world — are awaiting the first televised briefing from new spokeswoman Jen Psaki .
Psaki, a former Obama White House deputy communications director and more recently the 2012 traveling campaign press secretary, has been on the job a couple of weeks now.
Patience — and some historical perspective — is needed here. We wrote 20 years ago that, a month into the same job, Mike McCurry , who later went to the White House, had "not been deemed ready for prime time to conduct the noon televised briefing."
The simple reason was that McCurry had not graduated from the famed Richard A. Boucher Ecole du Dizinformatsiya (school of disinformation, as it was jokingly dubbed), named for the then-current and widely admired spokesman.
The Boucher School is no joke, McCurry recalled Monday. "The heart of the training is to sit in the morning preparations with senior officials then leave the building and skip the briefing. When you return, colleagues do a mock briefing from the actual transcript, asking the same questions the reporters asked that day.
"The test is to see if you give the right answers," he said, so as not to spark some international crisis. "There's a level of substance and seriousness that you don't find at the theater of the absurd," he added, referring to the White House.
The hardest part comes when the cameras are off and reporters come up to chat on background. You have to be able to translate from diplo-speak on camera into plain English and then make reporters think they got useful news — even if they didn't.
The legendary Boucher, State's longest-serving public affairs chief, went on to senior-most posts, including assistant secretary of state for south and central Asian affairs. He's now deputy secretary general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which is conveniently headquartered in Paris.
As for Psaki, we've heard the plan is for the new kid to shadow current spokeswoman Victoria Nuland "until Jen learns to drive."
Shouldn't take much longer.
Seems former senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) might be in an uphill battle in federal court here as he fights a Federal Election Commission claim that he improperly converted $217,000 in campaign funds to pay for his legal defense in that 2007 sex-sting arrest in a Minneapolis airport bathroom.
Craig, who pleaded guilty to disorderly-conduct charges in the case, argues that Senate rules permit reimbursement for any costs while on official travel. (He was heading back from his home to Washington.)
But at a hearing Monday on the FEC suit, Judge Amy Berman Jackson seemed skeptical of that claim, according to an Associated Press account. She noted that Craig's lawyers had written in 2007 that the incident had nothing to do with his Senate duties.
Still, Craig surely was en route to Washington, though he may have taken a detour of sorts at one point in the airport as he went to get to his connecting flight.
Best we were able to determine at the time — judging from what sources told us were the usual arrival and departure gates for his flights — Craig may have passed not one, not two, not three, but four bathrooms at the airport along the way before choosing the very one that an airport official called "the biggest hotspot" for sexual encounters.
Okay, so maybe a slightly circuitous route, but still kinda on his way.

In 1985 Professor Owen Fiss traveled to Argentina to advise the administration of President Raul Alfonsin, on the trials the country initiated to hold its military accountable for human rights abuses. During his time there, Professor Fiss came to understand human rights not as strictly legal claims, but as universal social ideals, rooted in the country's processes of national self-determination.
His experiences in Argentina informed a new collection of essays, Dictates of Justice. Prof. Fiss explains how states engaging in the transition from dictatorship to democracy can protect human rights through civil, not just criminal, proceedings. He also critiques the turn to international tribunals which tend to supplant national efforts to adjudicate human rights claims. And he examines the human rights issues posed by the fight against terrorism in the post-9/11 era, framing the issues in terms of national law.

North Korea sends 'open letter' to South urging improved relations
Pyongyang sends 'open letter' to Seoul saying military drills with US are obstacle to better ties
Related topics
North Korea yesterday urged a sceptical South Korea to respond to a recent series of trust-building gestures and again called on Seoul to cancel military drills with the United States.
The latest apparent olive branch came in the form of an "open letter" sent to the South Korean authorities by the North's top military body on the direct orders of leader Kim Jong-un in an effort to promote "reconciliation and unity".
Carried by the North's official KCNA news agency, the letter followed up on a series of confidence-building proposals that South Korea has already dismissed as a "deceptive" propaganda exercise.
"What is important for paving a wide avenue for mending North-South relations is to make a bold decision to stop all hostile military acts, the biggest hurdle stoking distrust and confrontation," the letter from the National Defence Commission (NDC) said.
A week earlier, the NDC had sent several proposals, urging South Korea to cancel the joint exercises with the United States.
Seoul not only dismissed the overtures, but warned that Pyongyang may well be laying the ground for a military confrontation.
"Regretfully, the South Korean authorities still remain unchanged in their improper attitude and negative stand," the NDC letter said.
The South "should not thoughtlessly doubt, misinterpret and rashly reject our sincere, important proposal," it added.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said it would respond to the letter, while Defence Ministry spokesman Wi Yong-Seop warned of the "enemy's hidden motive".
Temperatures on the Korean peninsula traditionally rise ahead of the annual South Korean-US drills, which Pyongyang routinely condemns as a rehearsal for invasion. Last year they coincided with a surge in tensions, which saw the North threatening pre-emptive nuclear strikes.
In its letter, the NDC stressed that its opposition lay solely in the participation of US forces in the exercises.
North Korea "did not urge the South Korean authorities to stop ordinary military drills", it said.
"It urged them to halt drills for a war of aggression to be staged against their compatriots in collusion with outside forces."
The NDC said it had also taken the "unilateral" step of halting all cross-border "slandering", despite the South's dismissive response to its proposal a week ago.
The South's Unification Ministry had scoffed at the idea, arguing that the only "slander" was propagated by Pyongyang's propaganda machine.
The NDC letter underlined the North's supposed desire for denuclearisation, but argued that the real obstacle was South Korea.
"Before finding fault with the precious nuclear force for self-defence to which [North Korea] has access, they should make a bold decision to stop their dangerous acts of introducing outsiders' nukes," it said, referring again to the military exercises.

Mead: No need now to slash state government spending againApr 24, 2013 By Ben Neary, The Associated Press
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead says he will push to hold the state budget flat for the coming two-year budget cycle despite legislative calls for more state agency spending cuts.
Mead staid he has told senior state lawmakers he won't direct state agencies to honor lawmakers' request to present proposed spending cuts of up to 6 percent at legislative committee hearings this summer.
He said the state has been logging strong revenues recently and the cuts don't appear necessary.
"I don't see the need for additional sort of arbitrary percentage cuts, so my instructions to the agencies are going to be, 'find savings where you can, we'll look at programs, but let's try to hold relatively flat going into the next session,'" Mead said.
This year's supplemental budget cut state agency spending by $61 million, an average 6.5-percent reduction, from the state's ongoing two-year $3.2 billion general funds budget. Lawmakers this year also tacked on an additional $78 million in new spending, mainly for one-time projects.
Mead has jostled with lawmakers over how to implement funding cuts over the past couple of legislative sessions. In response to legislative direction, the governor's office last year presented lawmakers with detailed plans outlining possible levels of funding cuts.
Mead vetoed language in the supplemental budget bill this year that would have required state agencies to propose budget reductions of 4, 6 and 8 percent for each year of the coming 2015-16 biennium.
Despite Mead's veto, the Legislature's Management Council, a group of senior lawmakers, directed legislative committees to require the state agencies under their control to propose budget cuts of up to 6 percent at legislative hearings this year. Mead said he met with senior lawmakers last week and told them that state agencies won't present plans for the cuts.
"I said I don't want to have agencies going through the exercise, as we did last year, of going line by line, agency by agency, when that's not what I was
supporting," Mead said. "In other words, I'm not going to ask them to do that from the executive branch because I'm not supporting that. We will ask them to be fiscally conservative, find savings where they can. But I didn't see setting up varying degrees of cuts that I myself didn't support."
Michael Walden-Newman, chief investment officer for the state, said Monday that Wyoming has racked up $507 million in undistributed capital gains on its investments from July through February. The state has earned another $277 million in interest and dividend income on its investments, which total roughly $16.7 billion.
House Speaker Tom Lubnau, R-Gillette, said Monday that he and Senate President Tony Ross, R-Cheyenne, have instructed legislative committee leaders not to consider state agency budgets until the current fiscal year ends this summer.
"We think that the situation is a lot different than it was at the end of the Legislature session, and what we anticipated at the end of the Legislature session," Lubnau said. He said legislative committees may look at 2 percent cuts for state agencies but will also try to work toward Mead's call for a flat budget for the coming biennium.
"We've got a very good relationship with this governor, and we talk about things and try to come to reasonable and rational solutions to things, approaches to things," Lubnau said. "And this is just another step in that."

and if so, do you give grades for everything, or just certain things? Do you issue report cards? Do you give rewards for good grades?
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
No, we don't really move on until something is mastered. Well, sometimes we give that topic a break and try again later. Regardless, grades would have no purpose. However, there was a time period of a month or two when my oldest was demanding grades. I took that as an opportunity to go over percents, and then I gave her a grade for a while.
Recently, I had to make a transcript for my oldest. She will be taking a couple classes next year at the high school. I gave her an A in everything except Spanish. I made that a pass/fail grade and she "passed". I don't speak Spanish and it is hard to assess her skills in that area. I truly believe she would get good grades, quite possibly all As in a public school and so I think I represented her appropriately. I also had to provide test scores. She does very well on standardized tests, so I don't think anyone will think I was just "giving" her the 4.0.
Mom to three very active girls Anna (15), Kayla (12), Maya (9).
This is the crux of it for me. In school the curriculum moves ahead whether an individual child has fully mastered everything so for or not. Grades are a way of documenting the gaps and lags that remain when the class moves ahead. An A means no real gaps or lags, a C means there are significant areas that are not yet fully mastered.
If you're homeschooling, there's no need to move ahead with the rest of the class before something is fully mastered, so there's no need to measure the size of the missing bits.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
Yes I would, I think our schooling needs to be standard between all the kids in US.
Good heavens, why? Are you against electives and course choices in high school too? Are you opposed to differentiated teaching for LDs and giftedness? Are you a homeschooling parent?

The push in public schools to use national standard (common core) is raising the number of students on Individual Educational Plans. One size fits all education doesn't work, not even in public schools.
My own 2 children are very, very different from each other. What worked for one, often didn't work for the other. A standard education for the average child wouldn't have worked for either of them. Part of the beauty of homeschooling is tailoring to a child's learning style and interest.
Neither of my kids are homeschooling at this time. One took an early college option and the other is on the honors track at our local highschool. They are still making choices about what is right for their education.
but everything has pros and cons
The whole world has a core based schooling and US doesn't stand in a good position in global ranking :( I understand our point of view but I think that part is up to us parents to train our kids for their education at home and prepare them for their schools
Re: preparing kids at home for schools. While preparing my kids for successful entry into school wasn't my primary aim (educating them well was my primary aim) our mastery approach without grades and without a standardized curriculum prepared them extremely well. They entered high school at advanced levels and are excelling. Cookie cutter education is neither necessary nor sufficient for excellence.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
For my sixth grader, I do informal grading. Meaning I mainly grade her in Math and Language Arts, not for other subjects. Even for the subjects that I do grade in, I allow her to get a second chance to answer the question correctly. Only if she doesn't find the answer the second time, do I mark her answer as wrong. For other subjects like Science and Social Studies, I just have a answer up to 3 review questions at the end of each chapter within her Sci/SS textbooks and help her go over any questions she might have answered wrongly/incompletely. As for rewards, we usually make it a tradition to reward the kids with a trip to Toys R Us after they successfully complete each school year.
I don't use grades the way schools do because 1) we teach to mastery, and 2) I simply don't have the breadth of experience to know the difference between A, B & C work the way an experienced teacher does, and so my grades would not be particularly valuable.
I may need to put together a transcript at some point that includes grades, and if that happens I will do my best to accurately report my child's achievements, but I don't want grades to be what motivates my kids, so I'm not going to issue grades as a matter of habit.

Biographical Note
Maud Elizabeth Charlesworth Ballington Booth was born on September 13, 1865, in England, the youngest daughter of a clergyman. As a teenager she joined the Salvation Army, founded by William Booth. On September 16, 1886, she married his second son, Ballington Booth. The following year they moved to the United States to head that branch of the Salvation Army. In 1896, after breaking with that organization, they founded Volunteers of America. A pioneer social worker, Maud Ballington Booth is best remembered for her work with the sick and poor in the slums and for her prison reform efforts. She died in 1948.
The papers of Maud Ballington Booth date from 1896 to 1988 and contain correspondence (arranged chronologically) and photographs. The correspondence between herself and author, Susan Welty, is generally of a personal and social nature, occasionally describing lectures or travels for the Volunteers of America. Booth's children, Charles and Theodora, also corresponded with Welty and these letters are included. There is also a speech given by Susan Welty which is a sketch of Look Up and Hope, her biography of Maud Ballington Booth. There are also business letters written to various representatives of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and others for whom Maud Ballington Booth lectured. These letters discuss schedules, her work for the Volunteer Prison League, and her husband, Ballington Booth.

The Aryan Jesus:
Was Jesus a Nazi? During the Third Reich, German Protestant theologians, motivated by racism and tapping into traditional Christian anti-Semitism, redefined Jesus as an Aryan and Christianity as a religion at war with Judaism. In 1939, these theologians established the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life. In The Aryan Jesus, Susannah Heschel shows that during the Third Reich, the Institute became the most important propaganda organ of German Protestantism, exerting a widespread influence and producing a nazified Christianity that placed anti-Semitism at its theological center.
Based on years of archival research, The Aryan Jesus examines the membership and activities of this controversial theological organization. With headquarters in Eisenach, the Institute sponsored propaganda conferences throughout the Nazi Reich and published books defaming Judaism, including a dejudaized version of the New Testament and a catechism proclaiming Jesus as the savior of the Aryans. Institute members--professors of theology, bishops, and pastors--viewed their efforts as a vital support for Hitler's war against the Jews. Heschel looks in particular at Walter Grundmann, the Institute's director and a professor of the New Testament at the University of Jena. Grundmann and his colleagues formed a community of like-minded Nazi Christians who remained active and continued to support each other in Germany's postwar years.
The Aryan Jesus raises vital questions about Christianity's recent past and the ambivalent place of Judaism in Christian thought.
"Heschel has a remarkable story to tell. Her reliance on primary sources and her objectivity are impressive. One comes away from her account wondering how such apparently intelligent and learned Christian scholars could have been so foolish and craven."--Daniel J. Harrington, America
"The Aryan Jesus . . . is more than a heartbreaking story of principled Christian anti-Judaism. It is also a masterwork of patient archival research. . . . As a history of German anti-Semitism and as an analysis of pronounced themes within Christian theology, Heschel's study is both broad and deep."--Paula Fredriksen, Tablet
"Heschel's book will rank as an important work of intellectual history, one that provides a penetrating analysis of the mind-set of the institute and its supporters in the ranks of the German Christians."--Mark E. Ruff, Catholic Historical Review
"Susannah Heschel traces the evolution of the Institute and its various projects with great skill. . . . As an exercise in archival research it scores very highly. The detail is astonishing, and many intriguing points are made about both the origins of Nazism's Christian manifestations and the consequences of learned theologians spouting nonsense in Forties Thuringia."--Catholic Herald
"Heschel tells the story of the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Church Life, showing how politics, theology, racial ideology, and political ambition shaped Nazi-era theological scholarship at one research institute. . . . This well-researched, theologically sensitive book is an important history of a troubling, shameful chapter in Christian history and will be a very important addition for most collections."--A.W. Klink, Choice

I have a simple vision for my life.
I have four long-term goals
I have seven short-term goals
… how have I ended up with
140 projects with 508 next actions and 1337 actions in total?
I love Omnifocus but perhaps a little less honesty from it would be nice. That, though, might not be true minimalism. Honesty is required even if it is brutal.

Will the city with the highest mortgage rates win the Super Bowl?by Tim Manni
At the beginning of the month, HSH.com put together a slideshow of all the teams in this year's NFL playoffs along with some interesting facts about their corresponding housing markets.
After the first round of the playoffs concluded, we noticed that the city of every team which came out victorious had a higher mortgage rate than their opponent. For fun we thought, "how about we pick the winners of all the playoff games, including the Super Bowl, based on which city had the highest mortgage rate."
While our system threw standard football logic out the window, the city with the highest mortgage rate—Seattle—is home to the Seahawks, a Super Bowl contender since the start of the year. Since our Super Bowl pick made sense, we decided to let it ride.
Below our slideshow– "NFL playoff teams: Success at home and on the field"—is a chart we developed to display the predictions we made following the first round of the playoffs.
So far, we're still alive: Seattle is facing San Francisco—another correct selection of ours—on Sunday to decide who represents the NFC in the 2014 Super Bowl in New Jersey.
Unfortunately, we can't brag about the success of our picks in the AFC. While football logic clearly proved that New England and Denver were the two best teams in the AFC, they had lower mortgage rates than their opponents.
Be sure to check out our NFL playoff slideshow and the chart (below the slideshow) of winners and losers based solely on mortgage rates.
Go Seahawks!

The Team
Team at Work
Relationship Building
Great Workout!!
In June, Matt Sturtevant, pastor of First Baptist Church, Lawrence, KS and his team of twelve started the trench work necessary to set the foundation and begin construction of a school in the outskirts of Cap Haitien and enjoyed fellowship, playing, singing, doing arts and crafts with the neighborhood children who they immediately fell in love with. Young men were moved by the team who had come to help and there was this woman who started to dig, following the examples of women in the team. The team learned from the community on digging a trench and how to work longer instead of harder under the Caribbean sun. Team unity and camaraderie quickly developed throughout the time in Haiti, each team member returning home changed, and re-engaged in the life of ministry.
Matt is saddened by the broken spirit of so many Haitians. The hopelessness, apathy, desperation, and resulting practice of superstitious religions to reach out for something larger than life were disturbing and frightening yet seeing leadership capabilities of Haitians such as translator Dezo, whom missionary Kihomi works with, makes him hopeful about the future of Haiti.
Bracing for the worst, Matt was pleasantly surprised by the immaculate accommodations and delicious meals provided by the gracious hosts. Most importantly, he was challenged by the spirit-led works of Nzunga and Pastor Manno who lead by empowerment, encouragement, and sending out.
The most challenging part of leading this trip was not with the volunteers but in engaging the entire congregation in the meaning and purpose of the trip. It took over a year to prepare for the trip as Matt prepared the team by meeting monthly, orienting the team about work camp conditions, using 'Going with God Toolkit' from IM as training material, and a lot of fundraising work and many prayers.
The team has met twice since returning from Haiti. The experience in Haiti was so powerful that the whole team was ready to go back right away! The biggest blessing of leading this trip, Matt found, was the lives that were changed. As the team continues to meet after the trip, Matt is hoping to use that momentum to establish a commitment to both local and global missions. He is certain this mission experience would lead them back to Haiti again. Already the church's college group is considering a summer trip next year.

LAFAYETTE — How does a kid who grew up in the Bay Area end up in the Republic of Congo, helping save endangered mandrills?
If you are Miles Woodruff, principal investigator of Jane Goodall Institute's mandrill reintroduction program, you bounce from San Ramon's Bollinger Canyon Elementary School to various cities in the United States and back to Lafayette's Acalanes High School, before attending Diablo Valley College and John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill. Your father is a manager for Chevron, running the company's operations in the Congo.
Along the way, you study fine cuisine at a culinary institute and become a rather angry young man, incensed about social injustice and environmental ignorance. You astound your former teachers, who knew you as a wild child, a poor student, by accumulating academic degrees and establishing yourself as a business owner. You are part of Ultimate Game Chairs, a company selling an eclectic mix of goods, from towels to sponges to video lounge chairs.
Then, you meet environmental activist Jane Goodall.
"She just talked conservation into my head," Woodruff said in an interview during a rare visit to his former stomping grounds in the East Bay. "I was the farthest thing from a scientist. She inspired me to live with chimpanzees."
Woodruff said that, before working as a field researcher in HELP Congo's chimpanzee release program during 2009 and 2010, the closest he'd ever come to having an "exotic relationship" with an animal was the family's cat, Ashes, who lived to the remarkable age of 20. And searching for a connection between his upbringing in an affluent community and navigating in his present habitat, he says both locations are bilingual, filled with cars and populated by people on cell phones.
"People have to eat, so that's the same. I'm a chef, so food stands out," Woodruff said. "There's no public transportation or Internet in the Congo, so people are completely dependent on their cars and phones — old phones, without screens."
But both the Bay Area ane the dense, dangerous jungles of Africa have also produced people who he said are passionate about preserving nature.
"John Muir locked down forests in a time that was critical. Because of him, we have areas that are still beautiful." In the Congo, he said people work diligently with NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to halt the bushmeat trade that is ravaging the mandrill population.
Mandrills, monkeys closely related baboons, are hunted illegally, with poachers selling the 80-pound males for meat and the babies as pets, after killing their mothers. Woodruff's PowerPoint lecture, used at an early April presentation at the Lafayette Library, showed footage of a chimpanzee, nurturing a python the animal had "adopted," and fascinating glimpses of mandrills, rubbing their chests against trees to scent them; displaying their 2 1/2-inch teeth while yawning or engaged in threatening behaviors — and romping, exuberantly, upon re-release.
Remarking that he now "thinks like a scientist," Woodruff explained the data he and his team are collecting.
"We're testing their stress levels, gathering feeding behavior information, using collars with GPS to track their movements and location," he said. "I used to think of science as people sitting in lab coats, but there's a whole other side of it. We are people fighting to survive, living in the wild, pushing to explore."
On June 9, 2015, the collars mounted on the eight mandrills Woodruff is working to reintroduce to the jungle will "pop off and they will be free." He said the sight of animals living "as they're supposed to" will be amazing and gratifying.
"A kid from Acalanes and people from expatriate countries came together to help animals reclaim there home," he said, sounding awestruck by the achievement.
But then, mindful of the enormous tasks ahead, — and the ever-present need for financial support to complete his project — Woodruff's business brain reawakened. He said releasing the mandrills will cost "several hundred thousand dollars," and that the best way to have an impact is to support JGI's efforts. Saving threatened elephants, leopards, gorillas, chimpanzees and mandrills by educating and employing local people–both here in the Bay Area and in the Congo — is the current quest of this kid from Acalanes.
Here is the link for general JGI donations:

Pilatus Aircraft reached a significant milestone last week when the 1,000th PC-12 single-engine turboprop business aircraft was delivered in Canada to David Fountain, a private owner from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Since its introduction in 1994, the PC-12 has amassed more than 2.6 million flight hours in a variety of roles ranging from transport, commuter, air ambulance, police and border surveillance, cargo, incident response, military liaison, and as regional airliner.
"The traditional Pilatus qualities of high performance, rugged durability, versatility and superior operating economics have been the foundation of every PC-12 we build," said Oscar Schwenk, chairman and CEO. "Today's PC-12 NG is generations ahead of the first Pilatus delivered back in 1994. But it still holds to these same principles that have made the PC-12 program such a great success."

The state of Illinois would have to allow ordinary citizens to carry weapons under a federal appeals court ruling issued today, but the judges also gave lawmakers 180 days to put their own version of the law in place.
In a 2-1 decision that is a major victory for the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said the state's ban on carrying a weapon in public is unconstitutional.
