What has Atlanta to do with Washington?
While rereading Samuel Sandmel's article, "Parallelomania" (JBL 81.1 [1962], 13), I was struck by a line I found particularly poignant given ongoing events in Washington D. C.
Someday some cultural historian might want to study a phenomenon in our Society of Biblical Literature. Two hundred years ago Christians and Jews and Roman Catholics and Protestants seldom read each other's books, and almost never met together to exchange views and opinions on academic matters related to religious documents. Even a hundred years ago such cross-fertilization or meeting was rare. In our ninety-seventh meeting we take it as a norm for us to read each other's writings and to meet together, debate with each other, and agree or disagree with each other in small or large matters of scholarship. The legacy from past centuries, of misunderstanding and even of animosity, has all but been dissolved in the framework of our organization. Would that humanity at large could achieve what has been achieved in our Society.
Check Your Sources!
It is frustrating when one stumbles upon a good quote, only to discovering a dubious attribution. Nijay Gupta writes about his recent discovery—an apocryphal G. K. Chesterton quote. Gupta discovered the innocent ruse because, in his own words, "I try to be a respectable scholar." Indeed, you would think that checking your sources would be a fundamental tenant in the life of all scholars.
You would be wrong.
In an article published in the most recent issue of the Bulletin for Biblical Research, "The Ethics of Inclusion: The גר and the אזרח in the Passover to Yhwh" (23.2 [2013]: 155-66), I conclude with a quote often attributed to Hermann Cohen, a 19th-century Jewish philosopher:
The alien was to be protected, not because he was a member of one's family, clan, religious community, or people; but because he was a human being. In the alien, therefore, man discovered the idea of humanity.
Having seen this quote in numerous studies, including one Anchor Bible commentary, you would think the source of the quote would be easy to locate. Again, you would be wrong. I spent the better part of the day tracking this quote down at the library using both digital and print media. Eventually I was force to resort to two interlibrary loan requests before I confirmed to my own satisfaction its apocryphal origins. Trying to be a respectable scholar, I included this footnote:
To my knowledge, the first attribution of this quotation to Hermann Cohen was made by J. H. Hertz in The Pentateuch and Haftorahs: Hebrew Text, English Translation, and Commentary (London: Soncino, 1937) 313. The quotation does not appear in the original publication of the Exodus commentary; Exodus (Pentateuch and Haftorahs: Hebrew Text, English Translation, and Commentary; London: Oxford University Press, 1930) 259. Hertz generally references Cohen's "Juedische Schriften" and "Religion der Vernunft aus den Quellen des Judentums" as works he consulted in preparation of the commentary. The quotation captures well Cohen's sentiments from the latter work in the chapter entitled "The Discovery of Man as Fellowman," though it does not contain the quotation itself; Religion of Reason Out of Sources of Judaism (trans. S. Kaplan; 2nd ed.; American Academy of Religion Text and Translation Series 7; Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1995) 113–43, particularly pp. 125–28. Unfortunately, Hertz is not more specific about the provenance of the quotation, and I am unable to verify its authenticity.
The moral of the story is simple. Check your sources!
Is Evangelical Scholarship Academically Rigorous?
If you have clicked through to read a blog post raising a question about the academic rigor of evangelical scholarship, chances are good you already have your own answer to the question. But I recognize that such a polarizing question requires many nuances, qualifiers, and subtleties. For example, are we talking about American evangelicalism or its British variety? Are we talking about the "Big-tent" model of Fuller Seminary or the more exclusionary version championed by certain high-profile so-called "evangelical intellectuals?"
I want to focus specifically on two dissertations turned "academic" monographs recently published by Wipf and Stock, a publisher with a growing reputation for publishing books of uneven quality. Of course, this unevenness might be expected when a publishing house that employs 25 people publishes 60 books in one month (July) with the entire production being done in-house. With these numbers, I'd expect the quality of their published books to reflect the variable quality of their authors, not their overworked editors.
The first book is Tracy J. McKenzie's Idolatry in the Pentateuch: An Innertextual Strategy. Sven Petry of Georg-August-Universität Göttingen recently reviewed the book in RBL, and his extensive critique at the conclusion of his review speaks volumes. He begins saying, "I must admit that I am not sure how to evaluate this volume." This is never a good sign. He summarizes the book's contents again, this time with a focus on things that academically are either unjustified, uninteresting, or already well established. He also mentions the lack of sufficient editing. (Wipf and Stock take note!)
He then lays down the gauntlet:
Further, I suppose I have difficulties understanding and valuing McKenzie's arguments because I come from a different world and speak a different language—and here I do not think in terms of geography. What I read shows me how large the gap between my notion of academic critical scholarship and McKenzie's evangelical ideas are. Although I consider myself "critical," I (as many other critical scholars) do believe that the final shape of the biblical text does matter. In this regard I fully consent to the opening sentence of chapter 1: "A central concern for Old Testament theology is an understanding of the final shape of the canon" (27). But while I regard a concept of the stages of textual growth as beneficial to this understanding, McKenzie's concept of authorship that equalizes "author" and "composer" (49–50) sweeps away the value of any likely textual development prior to the final shape.
Petry raises an important point that often goes unrecognized by evangelical scholars who eschew historical criticism. Nonevangelical critical scholars can be just as enthusiastic about the final shape of the biblical text as an evangelical scholar. The difference between these and evangelical scholars is that critical scholars take seriously the claim that this is the final shape of the biblical text. Critical scholars acknowledge and examine both earlier and later forms of the text. Many evangelicals believe the "final shape of the biblical text" is the only shape—the only shape that matters or the only shape that has ever existed.
But Petry is not finished. He then raises the question of the function of "innertextuality" in this study. Now I should mention that I am writing a dissertation on "intertextuality," and I argue most biblical scholars who use this term, evangelical or otherwise, are guilty of engaging in a practice that is un-academic. What I found to be interesting are the religiously motivated ends to which McKenzie so casually wielded this unwieldy nominalization.
Third, I simply do not get the point of "innertextuality." If innertextuality actually does not say much more than that two texts are intentionally connected, that is, somehow related, the term does not contribute anything new and therefore is dispensable. Following McKenzie's notion and terminology, the presence of "innertexts" should raise questions of tradition and dependence. But in fact innertextuality is presented as if it was the answer. I can hardly avoid the impression that the term's purpose is to provide a category for observations that in the critical realm would raise questions McKenzie refuses to answer. As he presupposes the Pentateuch as a "unified textual work, the direction of dependence is not necessary to know" (50). Therefore, while McKenzie's book may have its value within the evangelical realm, from the perspective of critical, that is, academic, biblical scholarship, it is not necessary to read.
Again, I want to stress that "intertextuality" as it occurs most frequently in biblical studies is a problematic term. It often serves as a one-size-fits-all academic signifier for a theoretically and/or methodologically under-developed idea. But I think Petry is on to something when he observes that McKenzie's use of it allows him to sidestep tradition- and source-critical questions.
The second book I want to consider was written by Deuk-il Shin, The Ark of Yahweh in Redemptive History: A Revelatory Instrument of Divine Attributes. (I do not know why the advertised subtitle departs from the subtitle on the picture of the book's cover.) David G. Firth of St. John's College (Nottingham, UK) reviewed this book recently in RBL. Like Petry, he has concerns about the "theological position" of the book.
It is clear from the above summary that Shin is operating from a very conservative theological position, and this impacts the whole work. The book's strength is that it shows that a consistent reading of the ark across the Old Testament is possible and that traditio-historical interpretations are not necessarily required. That is, a synchronic reading of the text can present a coherent interpretation of the ark. But in a sense, that is also its weakness. It is because Shin starts with this as a presupposition that we do not really get to see substantial arguments that show that his approach is a better interpretation of the data. This concern particularly emerges in his reading of the historical texts that discuss the ark where, beyond the importance of reading the Bible from the perspective of Reformed theology, we do not really encounter a clear method for showing how these texts reveal the aspects of Yahweh's character that he suggests. In the end, Shin's conclusions present his presuppositions in more detail than noted at the outset, but his conclusions are still his presuppositions. So, while his conclusions might be correct, and there is an attractive degree of coherence to his reading, the book lacks the methodological rigor that would establish them as probable.
Firth's assessment intrigues me for a couple of reasons. Having published numerous books with InterVarsity Press, an evangelical publishing house, Firth operates within evangelicalism. This criticism does not come from outside evangelicalism. (Perhaps I have framed the question in my title in too binary a mode.) Furthermore, Firth does not seem altogether opposed to Shin's conclusions; rather, he questions the foundation upon which these conclusions are established.
Notice how Firth distinguishes between presuppositions and "substantial arguments." When critical scholars talk to many evangelicals today, the conversation will often arrive at the question of presuppositions. The idea that the critical scholar begins with problematic assumptions becomes a kind of trump card, a way of prematurely ending the conversation or academic debate. Firth argues, to the contrary, that presuppositions must be established by methodological (i.e., academic) rigor. Otherwise, all one has to go on are one's presuppositions. Presuppositions alone are simply not the basis of a rigorous academic approach to the Bible.
The answer to the question of this post depends on one's perspective. I would suggest that evangelical scholars need to take seriously the critique of these two recent monographs if they intend for their work to participate in the theoretical and methodological rigor of academe.
Ron Hendel on Text Criticism, Original Texts, and the Oxford Hebrew Bible
Ron Hendel has made available the most recent volume of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel which includes his article, "The Oxford Hebrew Bible: Its Aims and a Response to Criticisms." Those familiar with the OHB project are no doubt aware of the many substantive critiques (e.g., H. G. M. Williamson) of the project as originally laid out. Hendel responds, conceding some points and defending others.
I have a couple observations from reading the article, both positive and negative. Both of these concern the issue of an "original" text. First, I note that Hendel puts appropriate emphasis on the "purely theoretical" nature of the enterprise (69).
The original is a chimera, a purely abstract goal, which can never be fully achieved, and we cannot know the extent to which we have achieved it (85).
Practically, this means Hendel is willing to follow the critiques of those who say we must "give up" the idea of an original text (e.g., Brooke, G. J. "The Qumran Scrolls and the Demise of the Distinction Between Higher and Lower Criticism." In New Directions in Qumran Studies: Proceedings of the Bristol Colloquium on the Dead Sea Scrolls, 8-10 September 2003, edited by J. G. Campbell, W. J. Lyons, and L. Pietersen, 26–42. LSTS 52. London: T & T Clark, 2005). Theoretically, Hendel still embraces the idea.
Second, Hendel continues to perpetuate a problem I see with Tov's discussion of the original text which is similar to Hendel's "archetype." With Tov, the original status of a text is two-fold. At times, it is something achieved in the past. A scribe would have been aware that their text was "original" or copied from an "original." At other times, it is something achieved in the present, always subject to change when new text forms require an "earlier" text that can account for all available evidence. Genetically, we can compare these two alternatives to the difference between a historical Adam and Eve on the one hand, and Y-Chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve on the other.
In his introduction to the project, Hendel articulates his interest in the "earliest inferable textual state." He remains committed to that idea, but he describes it in this new article as the "latest common ancestor." (If we were using the language of science, we would speak of "the most recent common ancestor.") This indicates that he, more so in my opinion than Tov, understands the archetype/original(Tov) as an accident of history like Y-Chomosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve. And yet, when he describes his goal "to come closer to the original literary composition of a book," he is implying an original model that corresponds more to a historical Adam and Eve, a text that acheives its "original" status in history. (Tov's perspective is biased toward this model, though he too vacillates.)
Hendel's response makes me feel better about the OHB project, especially considering the positive response to some of the criticism it received. And yet, I remain unconvinced that Tov and Hendel have successfully responded to critiques against an original text or who have blurred the lines between textual and literary criticism.
The Temptations of Latin
One of the most penetrating book reviews I have ever read is James Kugel's review of Michael Fishbane's Biblical Interpretation in Ancient Israel. I could wax eloquent the virtues of this review, but let me for now draw attention to one particular item of interest.
In Biblical Interpretation, Fishbane uses terms borrowed from Douglas Knight's Rediscovering the Traditions of Israel to describe the relationships between texts and their subsequent interpretations. In Knight's work, tradition is composed of two aspects: the traditio signifies "the process (in its totality and in its details) whereby traditional material is passed from one generation to the next;" the traditum signifies "the traditional material itself that is being transmitted" (5). Fishbane conceives of innerbiblical exegesis as a literary continuation of a primarily oral understanding of the tradition-historical process. The traditium becomes the "(increasingly) authoritative teachings or traditions whose religious-cultural significance is vital (and increasingly fundamental)" while the the traditio focuses on "the concern to preserve, render contemporary, or otherwise reinterpret these teachings or traditions in explicit ways for new times and new circumstances" (8).
Kugel remarks, "Now this little bit of naming, although it might seem rather trivial at first, begins to loom a bit larger as Fishbane's references to traditum and traditio, . . . pass from the dozens into the hundreds and (who knows?) perhaps the thousands as his study rolls on" (273). One can sense Kugel finds this "little bit of naming" somewhat taxing. This subjective dissatisfaction is followed by a more objective critique. Kugel draws attention to the fact that neither Knight nor Fishbane have used Latin terms that sufficiently distinguish themselves from one another—they do not exclusively signify the distinct concepts for which they are employed. If this were not enough, Kugel goes on to highlight how Fishbane uses the two terms in ways at odds with how he has already defined them. Essentially, traditum functions as the anterior text and the traditio functions as the posterior or interpreting text. Kugel suggests "Fishbane would have done better, I think (as future studies will do better), to forego the temptations of Latin and say a little more specifically what he means in each case" (274).
I think Kugel's suggestion for future studies is sound. The temptations of Latin are too infrequently virtuous to be a reliable tool for academic writing, much less Stylish Academic Writing. I don't mean to suggest that one cannot use Latin (German, French, etc.) responsibly, just that most do not. In his footnote to the previous quote, I think Kugel drives the observation home in a most poignant manner.
It is to be remarked that, quite apart from this particular issue, Fishbane does have a weakness for foreign words and phrases, and not only in Latin. Readers of scholarly books ought no doubt to be indulgent in this regard; yet one cannot but occasionally wonder if Fishbane's saying indicia instead "clues," au fond instead of "at bottom," Wiederaufnahme instead of "resumption," legenda instead of "legends" (sic), Rechtspraxis instead of "legal practice," ab origine for "from the beginning" (i.e., ab initio?), responsum for "answer," per definitionem for "by definition," Umwelt for "environment," animadversiones for "observations" etc. etc. does not more serve some obscure need in the author's own psyche than the causes of clarity and precision.
A Misdirected Analogy
Reading a recent published review, I came across a peculiar analogy. What does the frame-narrator of Ecclesiastes have to do with the so-called "climategate" emails?
I argue that Qohelet's words are used to draw in an audience who finds his query and methodology compelling, only to show them that the quest is pointless. By creating a sympathetic link between the audience and the character Qohelet, the author has cleverly avoided immediately alienating the audience by simply telling them that they are wrong. The leaking of the "Climategate" emails in 2009 illustrate the power of such an approach, doing far more damage to the credibility of climate science than did the direct confrontation of numerous "climate change deniers" over many years. Similarly, the honest words of the most highly regarded sage do more to undermine the legitimacy of speculative wisdom than any direct confrontation.
In other words, just as the words of climate scientists were more damning than skeptics arguments, so also Qohelet's own words are more damning than any rebuttal the narrator might make. (Don't feel bad if you couldn't make sense of the analogy the first time through; I had to read it three of four times before it made sense.)
I find this curious, if not problematic. Did "Climategate" do damage to the credibility of climate science? No. It only hurt the public's perception of the credibility of climate science because the public understood neither the emails targeted by skeptics and pundits nor the nature of the science in question. (In case you are not already aware, eight different committees investigating "Climategate" have found no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct.)
I guess it is possible that the frame-narrator let Qohelet speak without a point by point rebuttal as a clever way of letting Qohelet "damage" his own credibility. But I think that, like the "Climategate scandal," this reading betrays either the ignorance or the predisposition (or both) of those who think Qohelet's words are self-evidently flawed.
For the Bible Tells Me So?
In Christian circles, children learn from an early age the song, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." Setting the issue of Jesus aside for the moment, it strikes me that early Jews and contemporary Christians have very different epistemologies. What do I mean? I don't think that "for the Bible tells me so" was the kind of explanation that would have satisfied the curiosity of early Jewish children or adults.
If you have read my recent article in the The Journal of Theological Studies (see here), you will have noticed my interest in the rationales that are embedded in over half of the legal prescriptions in the Hebrew Bible. However, I was not aware that this was a significant area of study for early post-biblical traditions. I am thankful to have discovered Lawrence Schiffman's blog where he recently posted a series on the rationales for the commandments (ta`amei ha-mitzvot) in Jubilees, Philo, Josephus, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. In his conclusion to this series, Schiffman summarily observes that "seeking explanatory rationales for the commandments as a consistent approach and fostering the conception that such rationales can, in fact, be offered for almost all the commandments, is a product of Hellenistic Judaism in the Second Temple period." This coincides with my own conviction that a strict divine command theory is not the proper way to interpret the function of obedience to God in the Hebrew Bible. My argument is based on how the text of Scripture presents itself, but Shiffman's discussion suggests that early Jewish audiences were similarly (and increasingly?) in tune with the Torah's own rationalizing tendencies.
Is "Myth" in the Bible an Affront or an Affirmation?
Use the language of "myth" when describing certain parts of the Bible (e.g., Genesis 1-11) and you are sure to upset many Christians. Creation and flood narratives provide the foundation for the worldview of many sincere believers today. They struggle to see this language as anything but an affront to their cherished beliefs. No doubt many would prefer this language applied to evolutionary biology. But notice what happens when Michael Pollan does this very thing in his recently released book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation:
Like any such theory–indeed, like evolution itself–the cooking hypothesis is not subject to absolute scientific proof. For that reason, some will no doubt dismiss it as another 'just so' story, Prometheus in modern scientific garb. But, really, how much more can we expect when trying to account for something like the advent of ourselves? What the cooking hypothesis gives us is a compelling modern myth–one cast in the language of evolutionary biology rather than religion–locating the origins of our species in the discovery of cooking with fire. To call it a myth is not to belittle it. Like any other such story, it serves to explain how what is came to be using the most powerful vocabulary available, which in our case today happens to be that of evolutionary biology. What is striking in this instance is that classical mythology and modern evolutionary theory both gazed into the flames of the cook fire and found there the same thing: the origins of our humanity. Perhaps that coincidence is all the confirmation we can hope for. (p 62)
And perhaps Christians should not feel so afraid of seeing this language applied also to certain biblical texts. Far from an affront to sacred Scripture, this could prove to be one of the more affirming claims made on its behalf.

Get Indian fishermen released from Iran: Jayalalithaa
Chennai, July 28 : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa has urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to use diplomatic channels to get the 16 Indian fishermen jailed in Iran released and repatriated.
In a letter to the prime minister released to the media Sunday, Jayalalithaa said the fishermen were contract labourers on fishing boats of a private company in Saudi Arabia.
"It is reported that these fishermen ventured into Iranian waters and were taken into custody in December 2012," she said in the letter.
According to her, the fishermen did not have access to legal aid and were convicted by an Iranian court. They were imprisoned for six months and each one of them has to pay a fine of USD 5,750.
Since they can't pay the fine, the 16 are still in jail, she said.
"What is more shocking is that they have not been able to contact the Indian embassy. No effort has been made by the Indian embassy to establish contact with them or to provide legal assistance to them or to put any pressure on the company which engaged them to secure their release by settling the fine," Jayalalithaa said.
She urged Manmohan Singh to direct the Indian embassy in Tehran to take steps to secure their release.
"I also request you to instruct the Indian embassy in Saudi Arabia to take steps to settle the fine amount and ensure (their) release."

A Feilding mother has been left heartbroken and angry after finding a picture of her sick son was being passed off as someone else's child on Facebook in an attempt to scam donations.
Becky Fothergill's 3-year-old son Samual "Sammie" Whittaker lives with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which has only a 50 per cent survival rate.
A picture of Sammie, then aged 2, hooked up to tubes and bloated from steroids in Auckland's Starship children's hospital was taken in May last year after he had just endured campath chemotherapy before a bone marrow transplant.
The image was posted on her Facebook page "Support for Sammie", which has more than 2000 followers.
On Friday, she was alerted by one of those followers that a person calling themselves "Courtney Herdert (Norton)" was using Sammie's picture on their page, saying he was her 5- year-old son "Ryan" and asking for funds.
Fothergill said she burst into tears when she saw Sammie's picture on the page.
"I just felt sick. How could someone do that to a child? To anyone? We have been through so much as a family and tried really hard to hold it together and to have someone that's scamming money out of people with my son's face with a different name is sickening."
The timeline on the page says it was created just a few weeks ago, on November 6. Courtney is listed as living in Auckland, but her workplace is in California.
Fothergill and some of her supporters reported the page, and the image was taken down as Courtney's profile picture a short time later. However, at the time of print, the image remained in her photo gallery.
Fothergill and her mother had taken photos of the page and reported it to the police.
She had been told two people had donated about $1500 to the woman, and they had also been informed of the scam.
She said she thought about taking her son's page down, but felt it wasn't fair.
Sammie's page had followers who had supported them throughout his ordeal and she felt she shouldn't have to take it down because someone else felt entitled to use her son's image, she said.
Fothergill said it was a warning to others to be wary of where their images ended up.
"I feel really horrible for those people who lost money, it's gutting. I'm just glad we found out before it got out of hand."
The person behind the page should sit in the oncology ward at Starship hospital and see the children there for themselves, she said.
"It's not fun and games, it's not exciting, it's fighting for your child's life. For someone to make it up, it's devastating."
Fothergill said following his bone marrow transplant, Sammie had received four top-ups of lymphocytes in his blood after he started to experience graft failure, and was awaiting eye surgery.
After he relapsed, part of his eyelid rotted away, she said.
Fothergill's younger daughter Leiah also carries the HLH chromosome, but it has not activated.

The leading online SDS Management vendor adds 173 new customers to its customer family, while releasing a new version of its flagship SiteHawk SDS Management platform.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) February 04, 2014
SiteHawk, the leading innovator in cloud-based SDS and chemical data management solutions, today announced that it closed out another banner year in 2013. While adding a record number of new customers, the company continued to uphold its industry-leading customer retention rate at 98.5%.
Additionally, SiteHawk sustained its product innovation focus with a full upgrade of the SDS Management platform, transitioning customers at no cost to the new version released early in the year. The updated HazCom compliance application focuses on: a streamlined user experience, dynamic chemical control workflow, GHS compliance monitoring, a new SDS QuickSEARCH, and a number of other features to maximize working time for both end users and SDS program administrators. These updates enable companies to align their chemical and SDS management system with internal business processes, thus unlocking valuable time and critical chemical data from products, materials, and production processes in order to bring both control and visibility into their compliance programs.
With the addition of 173 new customers, which totals 678 new facilities, SiteHawk continues the momentum established in prior years, setting up continued product innovation and global expansion in 2014. Chemical and hazard communication compliance is a highly visible and hot-button topic for businesses today, stated Kraig Haberer, Chief Operating Officer of SiteHawk. Establishing GHS compliance for our customers and aligning our chemical control and EHS compliance applications with their key business processes is our mission.
SiteHawk Customers Speak Out
Throughout the transition process, SiteHawk has continually exceeded our expectations through their customer support and willingness to amend to our specific, oftentimes arduous, needs and requirements," Jackie Madison, Product Safety & Regulatory Compliance Specialist. SiteHawk offered the most complete chemical data management solutions to assist our transition to GHS and meet current and future safety initiatives and regulatory compliance.
The support for the initial inventory was great, material approvals are now hassle-free, and printing labels is fantastic," stated John Drabic, Sr. Safety Specialist, NAES Corporation. But you cant beat the quick response of having the SDS immediately available and searchable in the system.

Clash at UN Assembly: UN Watch circulates draft resolution for urgent debate and commission of inquiry
Venezuela Objects as Aunt of Jailed Opposition Leader Calls for Urgent Human Rights Council Debate
By UN Watch (Bio and Archives) Saturday, March 8, 2014 Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
GENEVA, - Venezuela's representative to the UN Human Rights Council vociferously objected today when the aunt of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, speaking on behalf of the non-governmental human rights group UN Watch, called on the 47-nation body to convene an urgent debate on the escalating situation and to dispatch a commission of inquiry. Click here for text and video.
Immediately following the clash, UN Watch submitted to U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton a draft letter that would convene an urgent debate on Venezuela, as well as a draft resolution to condemn Venezuela's violations of human rights, suspend the government of president Nicolas Maduro from the Human Rights Council, and create a commission of inquiry.
"The leading democracies must take action now to ensure the UN upholds its obligations to protect the human rights of the Venezuelan people," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
Julieta Lopez, who lives in Geneva, took the floor today during an interactive dialogue with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, part of a 4-week session that saw Venezuelan foreign Minister Elias Jaua meet Ban Ki-moon on Monday.
"Madam High Commissioner, the alarming situation in Venezuela is very personal for me," said Ms. Lopez. "You have spoken of the large number of people arrested for exercising their rights to peaceful assembly and to freedom of expression. Well, my nephew, opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, is one of those people."
"For peacefully exercising [his basic] human rights last month, Leopoldo—a husband and father of two little children—was arrested and placed in a military prison, in a 2 by 3 meter prison cell. He sleeps on the floor. He is allowed minimal access to sunlight and fresh air," Lopez told the assembly.
Lopez thanked Pillay for calling earlier this week for an "impartial, full and independent investigation into every single case of death and injury" in Venezuela. Lopez also noted that six of the Council's independent experts yesterday echoed the appeal.
Venezuelan delegate Edgardo Torro Careño interrupted as soon as Lopez called for the Council to hold an urgent debate.
"We apologize for interrupting this session, but we found ourselves obliged to take the floor on a point of order given that we are currently assessing the report of the High Commissioner which was presented to the Human Rights Council, and we are not on item 4 of the agenda discussing the situation of human rights which require the attention of the Council."
UN Watch dismissed the objection, saying that its statement was fully appropriate.
"It's time for the council to stop turning a blind eye to the escalating human rights crisis in Venezuela, which has already claimed hundreds of casualties. We need to see an urgent debate, the adoption of a resolution, and the undoing of the council's shameful election of Venezuela last year as one of its members," said Neuer.
UN Watch is a Geneva-based human rights organization founded in 1993 to monitor UN compliance with the principles of its Charter. It is accredited as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and as an Associate NGO to the UN Department of Public Information (DPI). |

Recent reviews:
August 1, 2013 - Love my bracelet! Made by women using what they can find - which is impressive. I put mine around a candle. Dresses up the candle and looks great! I'm very saddened by the other reviews. Seems like some customers have forgotten the whole point here. Every purchase helps!
February 6, 2013 - Very poor quality. I got the item and was so disappointed. I will not wear it even once.
January 26, 2013 - not at all what I was expecting. Was looking forward to a fun eclectic piece but instead got something very poorly put together with unattractive colors that dont mesh, that overall looks as if a small child tried to make it. Very disappointed and since I wont wear it will end up at my next garage sale.
November 21, 2012 - Really below par for the quality I usually get from fair trade items. I definitely do not recommend this item
November 14, 2012 - Unfortunately, the one I got fell apart right away - the paper all peeled off :(

Apple's plan for massive 'spaceship' campus approved by Cupertino council

zoomCUPERTINO, CALIF.—Apple's plans for a massive new campus in Silicon Valley that co-founder Steve Jobs likened to a spaceship have cleared a major hurdle.
The San Jose Mercury News reports the City Council in Cupertino, where Apple's current headquarters is also based, unanimously approved the estimated $5 billion project on Tuesday.
Plans call for nearly 3.5 million square feet of new office space, a 1,000-seat auditorium and a fitness centre on the 176-acre campus. Apple would demolish existing office and research and development buildings.
The main, ring-shaped building would be a little more than 2.8 million square feet alone. The project is expected to be completed in 2016.
The city's planning commission gave its endorsement earlier this month and the project only needs one more largely perfunctory vote from the City Council next month.
Apple now employs about 16,000 people in and around Cupertino.

Gijinka Plotting: Faron from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
As some of you may remember, I've had Faron from Twilight Princess on my list for gijinka. Initially this was for Katsucon 2014, but my lights group wasn't prepped and to be honest, I wanted to do Merlwyb really bad. But after some ideas I decided to re-draw my initial design scheme of what I'd like to do for this gijinka.
Faron Gijinka: Full Body
The initial human clothing set was thought off of the Ordon style clothing. Since there are no 'humans' really living in Faron provicence, and the close neighbors are all from Ordon, I went with that design as a close thing to grab.
- The wig would be pretty solid shaped like the monkey head
- Long ears, longer than normal hylian ears as well
- The poofy sleeves and pants are for the 'arms and legs' that are thick on Faron's body
- The wrap around would be the 'tail', which has all the designs on it (see tail pattern)
- Another pattern is also on the back of the shirt
- I'd have a giant ball of light as well! Not yet sure how to tackle that. Thinking clear blow up balloon!
Faron Tail Design 1
Initially this was how I wanted to put the tail on my dragging thing. The idea is what would Faron's tail look if I cut it down one way and flattened it out? Initially since the end of the tail curves that way, I decided to start from that as the cutting point. It unfortunately leaves the middle very awkward due to the points.
Faron Tail Design 2
After seeing what happened with the first design, I decided to flip it around again. This one makes the base of the tail a little awkward from its original pattern, but there rest of the body looks full on the straight edges.
Faron Tail Design 3
This tail is with the idea of having the entire pattern stretched outward to fill the entire straight fabric wrap. It was a little tricky since some of the edges are very pointy, but it's accenting more of the 'light' than it is the points and curves of the tail.

Beyond Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars — the four terrestrial planets of our solar system– there are four giant planets that are remarkably different from the first. These Jovian planets have intrigued humans for many hundreds of years, their very names rooted in Roman mythology. This knol will explore the characteristics of these large planets and how our knowledge of them sheds light on the universe in its entirety.
The Jovian planets, in the order one would pass them if they were leaving the solar system, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. All named after gods in Roman mythology, the Jovian planets were once regarded as rulers among the heavens. Jupiter is named after the god Jupiter, or Jove– the king of gods. [1] The name is fitting since Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. The word Jovian is derived from the Roman god Jove, and also connected to the Roman emperor Jovian who ruled from 363-364 B.C. [2] Saturn is Jupiter's father, while Uranus is lord of the sky and Neptune rules the sea. [3] Galileo studied the Jovian planets in the early 1600′s, of which then there were only two– Jupiter and Saturn. In 1781 Uranus was discovered, and then in 1846 the discovery of Neptune completed the modern list of Jovian planets.
The Jovian planets have been studied to a much greater extent during the last half century thanks to the development of satellites and other spacecraft. In the 1970′s Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 flew past Jupiter and Saturn, taking pictures and collecting various data. [4] Less than a decade later the Voyager spacecraft were launched. [5] These have been followed by other spacecraft that have all been sent up to deliver data about the Jovian planets humans find so fascinating.
Size and Composition
All of the Jovian planets are very large. Jupiter's volume is 1,400 times larger than Earth's, Saturn's is 769 times larger, Uranus is 67 times greater, and Neptune's (the smallest of the Jovian planets) is 50 times larger than Earth. [6][7] Interestingly enough, Jupiter only has 318 times more mass than Earth despite being so big. Saturn's mass is 95 times Earth's, Uranus' is 14 times, and Neptune's is 17 times. Jovian planets can be large but have a low relative mass when compared to the terrestrial planets because of their differences in composition. The Jovian planets resemble the Sun more than they resemble the terrestrial planets in that they are made largely of gas. To be more specific, they are mostly made of hydrogen and helium with atmospheres containing hydrogen based compounds like methane, ammonia, and water. [3] At the center of the planets there is a relatively small and dense core which the gas surrounds. The distance to the core of Jupiter is believed to be approximately 60,000 kilometers. [8]
Though the Jovian planets resemble the Sun, they are not stars because they do not undergo nuclear fusion in their cores. Jupiter's mass would have to multiplied 80 times over before it would have enough gravity to undergo nuclear fusion.
Shapes and Rotation
The Jovian planets are shaped a little differently than the terrestrial planets. The rapid rotation they have makes their equators bulge out, giving them a slightly squashed appearance. Saturn has the most pronounced bulge with an equator that is 10% wider than it's poles. [9] The size of the equatorial bulge depends on the interaction between the planet's gravity and the rate of rotation. Since the Jovian planets have fast rates of rotation, equatorial bulges are large. These equatorial bulges help give the planet an extra gravitational pull that keeps its moons and rings lined up with the equator. [10]
Measuring how fast a Jovian planet rotates is harder than it is with terrestrial planets because the observable clouds of gas that surround it are being influenced by winds as well as planetary rotation. Also, clouds rotate at different speeds near the equator than they do near the poles. [11] To work around this problem scientists measure the interior speed of the Jovian by tracking emissions from charged particles that are caught in the magnetosphere. [3] By finding out the rotation speed of the magnetosphere we can calculate the rotation speed of the entire planet. A full rotation for Jupiter and Saturn each takes about 10 hours while Uranus and Neptune take 16 to 17 hours. [12][13]
The terrestrial planets do not have many moons or other orbiting objects surrounding them. The few exceptions are Earth, which has one moon, and Mars, which has two moons. [14] In stark contrast, the Jovian planets have more than 100 moons orbiting them. Some of these moons have atmospheres and geological features comparative to the terrestrial planets.
Moons of the Jovian planets are categorized in three different sizes:small, medium, and large. Since the small moons are so tiny they are of little significance, especially for our purposes. Instead, we will focus on medium and large moons.
Jupiter's Moons
The most commonly known moons of Jupiter are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Altogether, however, Jupiter has at least 62 moons. [15] Ganymede is one of the largest moons in the solar system, surpassing the size of Mercury. Io is a moon with a great deal of geological activity including lava flows and volcanoes. [16] All this activity makes it the most volcanically active world in the solar system. [3] Europa's surface is made mostly of ice and water, Ganymede is composed of silicate rock and water ice, and Callisto has various rocks and ices. Io, Europa, and Callisto are all larger than Pluto.
Saturn's Moons
The medium and large size moons orbiting Saturn are Mimas, Enceladus, Telhys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, and Iapetus. Titan is comparable to Ganymede in size since it is bigger than the planet Mercury. Titan is the only moon to have an atmosphere as thick as it does, and is also the only other object in the solar system which has been proven to have large bodies of water. [17] Titan's surface is mostly ice water and rock.
Uranus' Moons
The main moons of Uranus are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.
Neptune's Moons
Neptune's two most popular moons are Triton and Nereid. Triton is a large moon with a retrograde orbit and an icy surface made of metal and rock. [18] Nereid has an extremely strange orbit that causes the moon to vary in distance from Neptune by quite a wide range. [19] This orbit makes it the most eccentric satellite in the universe.
All of the Jovian planets have rings orbiting them, with Saturn's rings
so large they can easily be seen from Earth. These rings are made of
many tiny pieces of rock and ice, or particles, which have congregated
together and orbit around the planet. [8]
The rings appear flat because the particles that make them all orbit in
relatively the same plane. These rings also appear solid because there
are many millions or billions of particles.

This place has a casual atmosphere with a large menu. Service is friendly. Mostly Italian. Prices are moderate. Day time noise level is very minimal. Family friendly. Located in the heart of downtown Elkins
We have been to Maggie's countless times, and have had both great and not so great experiences. The food is usually very good, although in the past few years it seems menu prices have increased, but some of the items have decreased in portion and/or quality.

My husband and I went out for a casual, relaxing dinner, at this restaurant on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is relaxing and the decor is relics from years gone by. The food was excellent and the waitress was exceptional. She was very customer oriented and kept checking to see if we needed anything and if the food was alright.... More
I ordered the pizza it was Ok!!! My girlfriend ordered pot pie (yummy you think) NOT! Tasted horrific! Found out that it was just added to the menu the day before (should have kept it off)!... Wanted to send it back but the better half suggested we just leave. Won't return
The restaurant was very beautifully decorated and the food was good. We ordered a pizza and was not disappointed. It was all hand made. A nice different place to stop.
Did not eat here even though we were promised they would accommodate our party of 20 a week earlier. Gave our tables away and were somewhat smug about it. Heard food was good, but Pizza Hut got the money from our group of 23!
We shared New Orleans shrimp over pasta which did not have an appetizing flavor. We should have ordered differently. Left half of the meal.
From the beginning it felt like our waiter didn't want to be there on this Sunday night. The food wasn't bad but with a small amount of effort could have been better. My husband and I each had pizza. Mine was undercooked and his was burnt. Skip dessert, especially the apple pie. Our waiter brought us our check before even... More
