GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., (February 20, 2003) — In a historic gathering of Kenya's religious leadership, church officials voiced strong support for free-market economic policies and lent their moral authority to the Kenyan government's battle against entrenched corruption and violations of human rights.
The Feb. 13-16 conference of Kenyan church leaders at Vanenburg Castle in The Netherlands was organized by The Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty. Acton provided a broad program of lectures and discussions on constitutional law, ethics and economics, globalization and public education. In all, 12 religious leaders representing 14 million Kenyan Christians were in attendance. Major Kenyan denominations were present, including Catholic, Anglican, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian and independent churches.
Bishop Bernard Njoroge Kariuki of Nairobi, the General Secretary of the Episcopal Church of Africa, called on his nation's religious leadership to play a crucial role in transmitting basic values of freedom and dignity as Kenya reforms its politics and economic system. "Only in this way can society find meaning," he said. "Perhaps we can be a role model for Africa."
In late December, Kenya's National Rainbow Coalition won a landslide general election victory based on an anti-corruption platform and the promise of a new constitution. President Mwai Kibaki told the Kenyan Parliament on Feb. 18 that "corruption has undermined our economy, our politics and our national psyche."
The Acton conference was led by Rev. Robert Sirico, co-founder and president; Samuel Gregg, director of the Center for Economic Personalism; and Rev. Jerry Zandstra, director of programs. Zandstra testified before the Kenyan Constitutional Commission last year and has worked closely with the religious leadership in that country. He expects to return to Kenya in the near future to help church leaders craft a joint declaration affirming human rights, property rights and economic independence from international organizations and the national government. While the Acton Institute has assisted the Kenyans with advice and education, Zandstra said it is important that the development of religious liberty, economic freedom and personal moral responsibility be embraced by Kenyans themselves.
"Kenya's church leaders will promote work, virtue and freedom," Zandstra said. "They are anxious to change their country and get out from underneath foreign debt and dependence. And they must maintain their prophetic voice, which we are helping them to find."
Photos from the conference are available from Acton for members of the media.

The Other Special Ed. Mario Converse Chucks
Special EDITION.
We saw the first two designs of the special edition release of Mario/Converse Chuck Taylors back in this post, and here are the other two designs (scheduled to drop in August). The first is of a Mario overworld scene, the second is of the final boss battle with Bowser. Both contain hidden images on the inside of the ankle-part. Personally, I'm not into novelty shoes, but that's because I only wear flip-flops. And not the expensive kind either -- the cheap rubber ones you can buy at the grocery store where if the little thong button pops out you can just jam it back in with a finger. You know, like the ones Jesus used to wear. "Jesus never wore those." HA -- how would you know, have you met him? "No, but I talk to him in prayer." And you asked about his shoes?!?!
Hit the jump for the other pair.

'Where did you go?' When two Cincinnatians meet even a thousand miles from home, eventually the question comes up.
Are you planning an oral history project or just considering it, you should apply to attend this year's Oral History Institute, June 3-5 on the beautiful campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. The program trains participants in planning and conducting successful oral history projects.
Each month, we are going to introduce you to one of the chautauqua scholars and characters who will be featured during our upcoming summer tour of the state. This month our focus is Kevin Radaker's Henry David Thoreau.
Vision and Values
The humanities are central to creating and sustaining vibrant communities. They guide us in defining our individual beliefs, values, and aspirations. They help us to understand and engage diverse cultures. They support us in envisioning and building innovative economic opportunities and relationships. They allow us to interpret our past and imagine our future.
The Ohio Humanities Council serves as an advocate for the public humanities in Ohio. We promote the humanities through public programs, grants, and community projects with the goal of helping individuals and communities explore, share, and be inspired by the human experience.

Report: Michael Vick out for Week 6, possibly out two weeks
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will miss the team's game next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Vick was hurt in Sunday's win against the New York Giants. He left the game late in the second quarter after suffering a hamstring injury while scrambling for a 13-yard gain.
Vick will be replaced by Nick Foles, who threw for almost 200 yards and two touchdowns in Vick's absence. Despite Foles' performance, Eagles (2-3) head coach Chip Kelly said that Vick will remain the team's starting quarterback when he is healthy.
"It's frustrating," Vick said, according to ESPN.com. "I never question why things happen, I never question God. It's a little sore. I've been standing up the last two hours. I need to get treatment. I've had this type of injury before."
Fox Philadelphia's Howard Eskin has reported that the injury may keep Vick on the sidelines the following week as well.
Vick has not played a full regular season since 2006, when he was still with the Atlanta Falcons. That also came before he spent nearly two years in prison. Vick played in only 10 games of the Eagles' failed 2012 season. Foles replaced him and made the final six starts of last season.
#eagles QB @MikeVick likely to get MRI on Monday but I'm also told Vick likely out at least next wk against Tampa and Maybe 2 weeks.
— Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) October 7, 2013
Eagles QB Michael Vick is expected to miss Sunday's start vs. Tampa Bay due to his hamstring injury. Nick Foles time.—

Rated 2 out of 5 by Eyeguy Not as pictured
The item as pictured is not what you get. I received one that allowed you to draw an X and some other silly shapes like stars, arrows, etc. It did not clamp on the ball at all and was really no better than if i drew the line freehand. Very disappointed since the one depicted in the picture works really well and I was expecting to replace it with similar.

Video: Parker, France vs. Canada game 1 highlights
As Project Spurs' Paul Garcia reported earlier this week, San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker and the French national team crushed Canada, 106 to 44, in game one of their exhibition series leading up to the pre-Olympic qualifier in Lithuania.
Parker had 10 points and eight assists off 4 of 7 shooting in 24 minutes of action. Spurs draftee Nando De Colo had 12 points, four rebounds, and two assists of his own. He shot 4 of 7 while going 1 of 3 from beyond the arc.
Check out the video highlights from game 1 and more importantly, see how Parker looked on the court. It would seem he hasn't missed a beat since last wearing the silver and black.

So your next vacation trip to Oahu will be a "high speed" one. :-) AT&T will deploy the 3G network with DoCoMo's help. Here is the announcement from NTT DoCoMo: "NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced today that on July 11 (local time) it agreed with the wireless unit of AT&T Inc. under which DoCoMo will provide technical and financial support of up to US$24 million for the deployment of AT&T's third-generation (3G) mobile phone network in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Under the tie-up with DoCoMo, AT&T plans to launch a 3G network based on W-CDMA technology on the island of Oahu by the end of 2007, expanding coverage to the rest of the state by early 2008.

The map of Asheville's neighborhoods shows that most saw increases, only Kenilworth had a decline (two percent), and North Asheville's values stayed flat. Increases were particularly high in the core of downtown (a 15 percent rise), Kimberly (23 percent rise) Haw Creek (12 percent), and in Azalea (42 percent). West Asheville too saw a significant increase in its property value.
See a large version of the city of Asheville property value map here.
The county, meanwhile, showed major effects from the bursting of the housing bubble. The Ivy and East Buncombe areas lost over half their value, and many others saw double digit declines. Only Black Mountain, Reynolds, and Starnes Cove showed gains in property value.
See a large version of the Buncombe County property value map here.
The maps show a shift to growth within city limits, and a relative decline in suburban and rural areas. The decline in property values poses a major challenge for the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners in particular, as it grapples with lessened property tax revenue.

peacock save the date magnets
Iridescent Peacock Save the Date Magnets They turned out great! At first I was worried that the font would be too small to see the bride and groom names (on the preview it was smaller than real life)..they turned out perfect. To visualize, the magnet is taller than a soda can. There were even a few extra magnets that magnetstreet included in the order. The envelopes are pretty too. They have a nice silver lining (looks like aluminum foil) pretty! My fiance and I (and family)are very happy with how they came out! Everyone said they looked nice.

Definition of inspissate in English:
Syllabification: in·spis·satePronunciation: /ˈinspiˌsāt, inˈspisˌāt
- Thicken or congeal: inspissated secretionsMore example sentences
- Secretions become viscous and inspissated (ie, glutinous and thickened by evaporation or absorption), and calcium carbonate precipitates, which results in ductal stone formation.
- At autopsy, the airways are often devoid of inspissated secretions and contain more neutrophils and eosinophils in the submucosa.
- In these studies, 'mucous balls,' an accumulation of inspissated mucus that adheres to the catheter tip, caused infrequent, but serious, complications.
- More example sentences
- Concentrations of streptomycin (before inspissation) in the test medium for the test strain were 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 g/ml, while for H37Rv concentrations were 2, 4, 8, and 16 g/ml.
- For pyrazinamide, the medium was acidified by adding IN HCl to the medium before inspissation until the pH was 4.850.05.
- The impermeable, invisible barrier seeps between people, flowing between them so gradually that they do not notice until its inspissation is undeniable and no community is possible between them.
Pronunciation: /ˌinspiˈsāSHən/
early 17th century: from late Latin inspissat- 'made thick', from the verb inspissare (based on Latin spissus 'thick, dense').

Emken is a laugher and doesn't stand a chance against a progressive Democrat like Diane. What delusion this women lives in I have no idea but perhaps she should move to the land of Michelle Bachman if she really wants to be in office.

No one could beat Feinstein/Pelosi/socialist machine. At least she gave it a shot. Can't wait for job losses!

So Patricia, you are not only a sore loser but you also "can't wait" for more unemployment pain for America.
That could still happen if the intransigent House Republicans (with a smaller majority) succeed in blocking a solution to the fiscal cliff.
Not only surveys but the reelection of the president and additional Democrats in the House & Senate show that the people want the disastrous Bush tax cuts to expire for those earning over $250K.

I'm with Patricia---closed polls in dem areas show 115% voter turn out---fraud. The layoffs are beginning----sped up after Tuesday's election----good. Very good! People voted for the socialist----enjoy-----we are not stimulating Obama's economy in any way---instead of a tip we now leave a card thanking for the service but--like Obama-Pelosi-Feinstein who want to spread OUR wealth (u didn't build that--my butt) we are sharing you tips!!!

Gary and Patricia,
Your comments are exactly why your party lost the election. You want America to fail to support your Rush type of ideology.

I find it comical that people (who are otherwise thinking individuals) continue to use the âsocialism" attack against President Obama, and it just magnifies the ignorance on the Right. Socialism advocates "STATE OWNERSHIP" of an industry, something that is NOT taking place. The Health Insurance companies are not being taken over; they're just being directed to funnel their customer's premiums to actually pay for services than line the pockets of their CEO's. Yes,..it IS a social program, just like Social Security, Medicare, our Police and Fire departments, our Education system. Would we advocate eliminating THOSE social programs?? Of course not! In the top 30 Industrialized nations of the world, we are the ONLY one that does not have a state Health mandate for it's citizens, and we can thank the 'profit oriented' Health Insurance companies for that! Our system needed to be changed, and I for one am glad it finally did!

I read the 200+ pages of the so called affordable health care. Sadly, it will lead directly to a government takeover and denial of services for many. Thank you Gary and Patricia.

This is a great place for kids. They have a lot of activities on weekends. They have 2 pools, one is for adults and has a hot tub. One is a family pool. At this place you don't have to worry about your kids so much.

First of all the pool is very,very small in the woods. There is no tv (local) reception,could not get cell phone reception either. The restaurant took 1 1/2 hours to serve food. We stayed 1 night, had a family emergency, and had to pay for 4 nights. They would not refund any money back. Oh they don't accept discount cards for holidays. The lake is very nasty to swim in.

We stayed here while visiting relatives in Torrance. As stated by others, it is a parking lot with hookups right next to the sand. Airport noise is very close and loud, but doesn't seem to bother after midnight. The grounds are very well maintained and the check in was pleasant.

We stayed four nights at this campground while visiting family. We enjoyed the quiet nights and convenience to shopping as well as attractions in the Monterey bay area. We needed some work done on our tow vehicle and got an excellent reference from the manager of the park. We plan to always stay here when we return.

Pretty good make ahead and refrigerate recipe. To bake extend cook time by 10 minutes. I wasn't sure if this casserole would stand alone so I placed a cup of cooked brown rice under the chicken mixture and I'm glad I did.

Some of the faces may have changed, but the results remain the same for the Lugoff-Elgin wrestling team which kicked off its season with a sweep of York and host Rock Hill on Wednesday night.
Fielding what may be his youngest, but definitely his largest, team since he has been the wrestling coach at Lugoff-Elgin Middle School, Ted Monroe is learning to be patient with his new-look Leopards.
Former Lugoff-Elgin standout, Grayson Quick, was named to the 2011 Mid-South All-Conference football team.
wo springs ago, Lugoff-Elgin baseball coach Randy Stokes decided to put then-sophomore Devin Walker behind the plate to handle a veteran group of hard-throwing pitchers, three of whom signed to pitch at the collegiate level including current USC closer Forrest Koumas.
Without hesitation, Scott Jones decided to go for the two-point conversion and the possible win after Lugoff-Elgin closed to within 20-19 with 66 seconds left to play in Friday's season finale against Sumter.
This, to put it mildly, has not been one of the most fun seasons to be a Lugoff-Elgin football player, coach or fan.
Like the crew of a moving company, the Lugoff-Elgin football coaches have been kept busy by shifting players from one position into another not just in practice, but on Friday nights, as well.
Halftime turned into work time for Lugoff-Elgin.
When and where will it all end?
Coming back home is supposed to feel better than this.
With four games left in the conference season and having started conference play with a loss to Carolina Forest last week, tonight would be as good a time as any for Lugoff-Elgin to see if it can find that magic which led them to the Region 6-4A title a season ago.
CONWAY -- Friday in Conway was no ordinary day at the beach for Lugoff-Elgin.
By TOM DIDATO
LEXINGTON -- Lugoff- Elgin could not stop the avalanche of mistakes and momentum created from one of the top teams in the state on Friday night as host Lexington defeated the Demons, 59-16, in the final non-region contest of the season for both squads.
It's hard to live in the Midlands region of the state and to not have heard something about the Lexington offense.
Randy Stokes was fine with the 11 hits which his Lugoff-Elgin baseball team piled up in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Mid-Carolina at River Bluff High School.

A Conversation with God
Islam's Terrorist Dogmain Muhammad's Own Words
Who They Are, Why They Kill,What Will Stop Them
A True Story of Seduction & Betrayal
A Guide to Prophecyby Ken Power
A Review of the Torahby Ken Power
We've posted some of the feedback we've received from our guests. We have hidden their identities, unless the individual is obscenely offensive, threatening, or violent.
I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I have been told that August 22, is a very significant date on the Islamic calendar, specifically for the President of Iran.
Can you enlighten me as to what significance this date might have? I was told by an Air Force officer that they are keeping a very close watch on that date.
I would like to applaud you for your efforts in exposing Islam in their own words. May YHWH be glorified through your work.
I was wondering, what do you think are the best verses in the Quran to prove to a Muslim that his "holy" book is a fraud and contradictory and can't be inspired from above??? For example a hand full of verses that one could share with a Muslim in a short conversation that would challenge them to test what they believe.
I've been reading quite a bit of your site I like it, though it's immense, and a bit confusing. I thought I was reading the Prophet of Doom, but now I'm not sure what I was reading. I also feel like I have to read every article non-stop, because I may never find it again.
I've started to read Yada Yahweh (I didn't even know that was his name. Who's Jehovah?), but it's huge.
Before I invest a lot of my time, I'd like to know how it is that you know the truth while all others are mistaken. After all, isn't that the claim that all religious sects make. I'm agnostic and just don't trust religions. I've always been turn off when people start talking about God. I just don't have a lot of patients for people that think they know what God wants. I take particular exception with claims of exclusive rights to heaven. I cannot conceive of a just god that would condemn good Hindus, Buddhists, et al to eternal damnation just because they're not Christians.
I came across a reference to: a paper on the Historicity of the Quran versus the Bible contained in: 101 Cleared up Contradictions in the Bible, (which apparently you edited).
I did a search on the web but cant seem to find this paper. Can you tell me how I can get a copy?
Additionally, one of the eternal criticisms you hear from Muslims is: Jesus never said he was God - worship me. I have also been reading your book, Yada Yahweh, and the beautifully detailed explanations in Scripture of the coming of the Messiah (in Daniel and Isaiah, among other places) but, how can you communicate this and/or respond in a timely/precise/effective way to Muslims on this question?
Well, thank you, whoever you are and however you are funded. Your site title is inflammatory, but your content is heavily documented and well-argued. It is kind of a polemical gauntlet thrown down, sewn and armored by the truth of the documents you cite.
So, let me know more about you and I'll be happy to communicate. I'm doing some scholarly work and your site will be very helpful--since I have no romantic attachment to any violent religion (and there are several).....
I very much enjoyed reading your web comments to the Woman defending Islam.
I too am interested in studying this form of Islam and would greatly appreciate you directing me to your source for the Fatwas by Khomeini... About the children and animals.
As you well know references are very important when presenting information as shocking as this.
I have read the account of Casey's death. It is a tragedy when any dies, even a Muslim. In the March 30, 2003 section your wrote
"Wendy Borowski, the mother of Brandon Rowe, said, "For the sake of the soldiers, Americans need to put politics aside and support the troops." 2,500 more American troops would be sacrificed, rather than be supported, because of that message. To support the troops, engage in politics by calling for George Bush's impeachment and the return of all American troops."
It has been over four years since then and many more young Americans have been killed. Do you still believe the "cut and run" strategy of the democratic controlled congress is the answer? I believe the if we do the will be a blood bath that will make the killing fields of Cambodia look like a picnic. I also believe it will give the extremists a victory the will embolden them to further conquest.
Prophet of Doom - a great website for those ignorant of islam. But, what is "The Little Green Book"?
Sorry. I suspect this is a dumb question, but the answer didn't jump out at me. Is it like "The Koran for Dunmmies". Thanks.
First let me say I enjoy your site and find it eye opening and informative. I am a veteran who participated in OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom). I just had a couple questions for you? Were you serious when you wrote...
"Europe was poisoned at the time by another mix of ego, greed, violence, politics, and religion. The Roman Catholic Church acted badly. They prohibited sermons in the common tongue of the people and they outlawed Bibles in a language anyone understood. They were evil. There is no excuse for their horrific behavior as there is no excuse for the behavior of Muslim militants today.Eventually something changed in Europe. John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English. Others followed in his footsteps and this led to the Reformation. When people could read the words of Yahweh for themselves and examine the deeds of Yahshua, they became real Christians and civilization flourished."
I realize by this statement that you are undoubtedly protestant, but are you implying that Catholics are not real Christians?
I realize the Church has had issues in the past, but do you honestly think that all Catholics back then were "not real Christians", not just the bad leadership that hurt the Church then. All denominations have had their problems through out history, does that mean all Christians outside your denomination are not real Christians? If you take this view on Christianity, I think it seriously hurts the validity of your beliefs about Muslims.

There aren't many people who dislike chicken wings, especially on Super Bowl Sunday.
So what's a restaurant famous for its chicken wings to do on such a holiday?
Well, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings in Sioux City on Sunday to see what folks there were doing to prepare.
They've prepared by adding staff and adding chicken. Lots of it.
They had an extra 5,250 wings delivered just for Super Bowl Sunday, that's extra.
To give you some perspective, on a typical Sunday, Buffalo Wild Wings usually goes through just over 2,000 wings all day.
The football holiday's a good opportunity to make a decent profit considering the restaurant manager says cost of chicken wings has gone up significantly in the past 2 years.
Buffalo Wild Wings Manager Andy Schmitz said, "The price of chicken wings has gone up about 400% for our costs in the last 2 years. It used to be the leftover part of the chicken. Everybody wanted the breast meat and stuff like that and now everybody's going for the wings."
For Sunday, most of its business will come from takeout orders. The restaurant can only cook 500 wings every 15 minutes and can not exceed that.
And as of 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, they were maxed out for the next few hours.
There have been some rumors and fears swirling online about a possible chicken wing shortage.
The horror, right? Well, you can be at ease. Most of those in the industry say that those rumors are just that, rumors and have no real validity.
