For Iraq's Assyrians – the Second Holocaust
Today a new and advanced version of Hitler is risen and his name is Abu Bakir Albagdadhi, he is carrying out the second Holocaust in our world, by targeting the Christians in Mesopotamia, and Humiliating, Killing, and displacing them, and marking them with a sign (N) which refers to Nasara, as a humiliation to the Christians.
You have three choices:
- Convert to Islam.
- Remain as a (Themi: a weak and undermined status of citizen) and pay an unknown amount of weakly tax
- Leave Mosul OR: The Sword is between us.
This is what ISIS (The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) leaders told Christian (Chaldean Assyrian Syriac) people of Nineveh to do.
The Christian heritage and history in Nineveh goes back to more than 5000 years. Their ancestors built this city, made it one of the wonders of the ancient world, a beautiful example of Assyrian Chaldean history.
Today, and for the first time since 3000 BC Chaldean Assyrian Syriac people, and since 2000 years as Christians of Mosul, Nineveh is empty of its indigenous people.
More than one thousand and one hundred Christian families have fled Mousil to Kurdistan Region. Now the territories of Nineveh plain are protected by the Peshmarga and Asayesh (Kurdistan Army and Security forces) for the first time since the fall of Baath regime in 2003.
Those displaced families lost their jobs, their homes, and whatever property and belongings they had collected in decades got lost at a glance by a word of the new extremist Khalipha Albagdadi!
This systematic and ongoing ethnic cleansing and demographic changing against the Christians people started in 2004 when several churches in the middle and south of Iraq were targeted and blown up.
As a result, 11 Christians were killed and dozens injured. In the same year, more than 196 Christians were kidnapped and 322 were killed according to the report published Hamurabi Human Rights Organazation.
The series of attacks on Christians continued.
Several clergymen, bishops and priests were kidnapped and killed.
The campaign reached its peak when the bishop of Chaldean Catholic Church (Mar Polis Faraj Rahoo) was kidnapped and killed together with three of his companions in Mousil in 2008. In 2010, more than 46 Christians were killed. The extremists attacked and blew Saydat Alnajat church up in Baghdad. Two Syriac Catholic Priests were killed in the same attack.
Not only the Christian churches were destroyed, the individual Christians were attacked and persecuted too.
The Christian students were forced to wear Islamic clothes in universities in Mousil and Baghdad. And in 2010, the buses carrying the Christians students were attacked by Al-Qaida terrorists, two students and another person were killed. In addition, more than 23 others were seriously injured.
According to "Alsharq Alawsat", a well-known newspaper, 52 Christian churches were attacked between 2004-2010 and more than 900 Christians were killed and more than one million Christians have fled Iraq.
Most of the Christians, who were unwilling to leave their homes and their town, had no choice but to move to Kurdistan.
Many of them fled also to Ankawa, a town located in the north of Erbil. It was a town of 8000 Christians inhabitants before 2003. Now there are more than 55000 Christians that are living peacefully under the good care of the Kurdistan Regional Government. Others fled to Duhok , Zakho , and Sulamania provinces.
Historically, the Christians have been living in peace and harmony with the Kurdish Muslim majority.
The President of Kurdistan, Mr. Masoud Barzani, last week said to the Christian clergy representatives: "In Kurdistan either we all die, or live together in freedom and dignity." And this manifests the true nature of the Kurdish Government and people towards Christians of this region and towards the Christian refugees.
The same day, Neqademos Dawod Maty Sharaf , the Bishop of Syriac Orthdox Church said on the radio < Russia Today' "Without the protection of Kurdistan, the Christians would have been slaughtered by the ISIS."
Today and after 11 years of the American intervention in Iraq, the Christian existence is in serious danger. More than 25 Christian families are fleeing Iraq every week according to local travel agencies and the number is increasing!
So, what is the best solution to protect the Christians in Iraq?
There are several proposals argued between the different Christian and Chaldean Assyrian parties:
Firstly, the autonomy for Christians : this proposal was made by the Christian politician Sarges Aga Gan Mamando, the former Minister of Finance and the Deputy Prime Minister of Kurdistan Regional Government. The draft of the right of getting autonomy within Kurdistan Region was submitted to voting in the Parliament in 2009.
This proposal is widely supported by the Christian political parties such as (Chaldean Syriac Assyrian popular council, Chaldean national congress, Bith Nahrin Democratic Party, Assyrian National party, Chaldean Democratic Platform, Bith Nahrin National Union, and Syriac Independent Movement).
Secondly, the self-governing province for Christians: this proposal was mentioned in the Iraqi constitution in 2005 and was supported by the Christian politician Younadam Yousif Kanna, the Member of the Iraqi Parliament and the former Minister of Industry in the Kurdistan Regional Government. This proposal was supported by Kannas (Assyrian Democratic Movement) as well.
Today the Christians people of Mesopotamia are at a crossroads, either to act fast and defend and preserve their existence in their ancestral historical land, or to face a similar destiny as the Jews in Iraq between 1948-1963. As we know, the Jews were targeted and killed for their religious identity. As a result, the whole Jewish population fled Iraq to Palestine.
The Nations Surround Me; In The Name of G-d They Will Be Struck Down
In today's synagogue service, Jews throughout the world will read the opening chapters of the book of Deuteronomy (1:1-3.22). Verses 1:41-44 recount the Jews' response to the admonishment of Moses:
Then you [the Jews] answered and said to me [Moses], we have sinned against G-d; we will go up and fight, as the Lord our G-d commanded us. And when you donned your armour, you made light of going up into the hill country.
And G-d said to me: say to them. Neither go up, nor fight, lest you be struck down by your enemies; because I am not in your midst.
So I spoke to you; but you would not listen, rebelling against the commandment of G-d, presumptuously going up into the hill country.
And the Emorites, which dwelt in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you from Seir, as far as Chormah.
His Grace was sent this exposition yesterday (by a Jewish communicant [before the onset of the Sabbath]):
The early mediæval Rabbinic commentator, Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, universally known by the acronym "Rashi", explains that just as bees die immediately after stinging, so did the Emorites die following their attacks on the Jews. Rabbi Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik (1886-1959) asks the question: "Why does the Bible inform us (indirectly) what happened to the Emorites, when the principal purpose of the verses would seem to be to inform the Jews of the dire consequences of disobeying G-d's word?" He answers that it is to tell us of the level of hatred the Emorites bore us, and that we should be under no illusions that the enemies of the Jews will never willingly decease from their attacks, irrespective of the consequences.
In similar vein, the verses in Psalm 118:10-12 read: "The nations surround me; in the name of G-d they will be struck down. They surround me, they also surround me. In the name of G-d they will be struck down. They surround me like bees. They will be consumed as a fire burns thorns. In the name of G-d they will be struck down."
The commentators explain that initially the anti-Semites besiege us. If the initial siege looks as if it will be breached, they re-double their efforts by re-encircling the previous siege lines. If this too fails, they attack us with reckless disregard for their own safety. Our only protection is a recognition of the power of G-d; but with that, they can be destroyed as comprehensively as a fire destroys a dry thorn bush.
The symbolism of the thorn bush is perhaps that it appears impregnable, with devastatingly sharp thorns; it is unbelievably hardy with an ability to survive with minimal water (which itself represents Torah because of its life-giving properties as a channel between G-d and man). It also bears no useful fruit. However, when attacked through the appropriate medium, it consumes itself speedily and with ferocity, precisely because it contains so little water/Torah.
This is meaty stuff for the Christian, too. In Deuteronomy, Moses is not simply explaining the laws of God: he is earnestly enjoining them upon the consciences of his people, and urging them to pursue a holy life under the Covenant. Israel's greatest peril is idolatry, which is to be resisted and suppressed with uncompromising severity. Faithfulness to the Covenant will be rewarded by material benefits; violation and disregard of the Covenant will be punished by material disaster and, ultimately, exile.
The overriding lesson which pervades the whole of the Old Testament is that a nation that turns its back on the Lord will be judged. And God will use the enemies of that nation to mete out that judgment. You might think this absurd, but the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing judgment is ongoing:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged (Jn 16:7-11).
God, sin, righteousness and judgment are real and present: they determine the meaning of the life that we are given to live in this age. But this age repudiates God, mocks sin, scorns righteousness and laughs in the face of judgment. It is no wonder that the thorn bush is being consumed.
Shavuot 2014
Celebrating the giving of Torah:
Shavuot is a Jewish holiday which celebrates God's giving of the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai. It is also known as the "Feast of Weeks." It has connections to an ancient grain harvest festival and is one of three pilgrimage holidays celebrated in ancient Israel.
Shavuot is celebrated seven weeks after Passover, exactly fifty days after the first seder. For this reason, some Jews refer to the holiday as Pentecost. It is a two-day holiday, though in Israel it is only celebrated for one day. In the Jewish calendar, it begins at sundown on the 5th of the month of Sivan and lasts until night falls on the 7th of Sivan.
In 2014, Shavuot begins on June 3 and ends on June 5.
As Jewish kosher laws were part of the message included in the Torah, on Shavuot is is customary to eat dairy products. No work is done on this day. Holiday candles are lit, and some people stay up all night on the first evening reading the Torah.
Before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, Jews would bake two special loaves of bread from their first grain harvest and present them to the Temple in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Arthur Waskow, the founder and director of the Shalom Center, wrote a Shavuot reflection in a blog for The Huffington Post that relates the harvest of the grain to the spiritual rewards reaped by reading the Torah:
How can we unify the earth-Shavuot of wheat harvest with the word-Shavuot of Torah?
One first vision of a tiny practice that could bring new power to Shavuot: Each household bakes two loaves of bread to bring to the communal reading of that Moment on the Mountain.
As we share the bread with each other, touching the loaves and touching the others who are touching the loaves, we share with each other, with our partner the Earth, and with our Highest Selves, the One:
From Earth we receive,
To the One we give:
Together we share,
And from this we live.
Christians Serving in the IDF
Nearly 90 Christian soldiers from all over the country and from all IDF units came together earlier this week in Nazareth Illit for an event organized by the Israeli Christians Recruitment Forum. Although it has only been around for a little over a year, its impact has been astounding. Since its founding, the number of Christians enlisting in the IDF has doubled. According to the forum's data, 84 Christian soldiers have enlisted since June 2013 alone. In previous years, that would be the amount to draft in an entire year and a half.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed and thanked these outstanding soldiers in a special video message. "The purpose of this forum is clear: to engage Christians who serve in the IDF," he said. "The importance of your actions goes without saying. I was pleased to hear that over the course of the past year, there has been a significant increase in the number of soldiers. I salute and support all of you."
"I know that the mission is not always easy," he added. "But we will be with you along the way. All of Israel is proud and thanks you."
Father Gabriel Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest and president of the Forum, addressed the soldiers as well. "As a Christian spiritual teacher living in the Middle East, I understand that human rights are not something to be taken for granted. For that, I thank the Jewish people and the State of Israel," he said. "I believe in cooperation between Jews and Christians and our shared fate in a Jewish country. I believe that we can contribute to Israel and I call on all Christians to join the army and help us to protect this country."
The founder of the forum, Major Ihab Shelian, who serves in the Israel Navy, was overwhelmed to see so many soldiers of the faith gathered together in one place for the first time, a crowd which included high-ranking officers as well. Certificates of appreciation were presented to all the soldiers.
Who Is a Jew?
Competing answers to an increasingly pressing question.
Who is a Jew? This question is becoming ever more pressing for Jews around the world. It looks like a religious issue, but is bound up with history, Israeli politics and the rhythms of the diaspora. Addressing it means deciding whether assimilation is a mortal threat, as many Jews think, or a phenomenon to be accommodated. The struggle over the answer will shape Israel's society, its relations with Jews elsewhere, and the size and complexion of the global Jewish community.
For Orthodox Jews like Rabbi Tubul, the solution is simple and ancient: you are a Jew if your mother is Jewish, or if your conversion to Judaism accorded with the Halacha, Jewish religious law. Gentiles might be surprised that for Jews by birth this traditional test makes no reference to faith or behaviour. Jews may be atheist (many are: apostasy is a venerable Jewish tradition) and still Jews. Joel Roth, a Conservative rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, likens this nativist criterion to that for American citizenship: Americans retain it regardless of their views on democracy or the constitution. Some strict rabbis even think that a child is not Jewish if born to a devout mother but from a donated gentile egg…

Ariel Sharon: His Eye Was Not Dim, by Elliot Abrams
Ariel Sharon was simply a great man, Jew and Jewish PM! (RIP)
What Makes Jerusalem So Sacred?
Perhaps the most repeated observation about Jerusalem is that it's a sacred city for the three monotheistic faiths of the west, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Hundreds of tour guides tell it to the busloads of tourists brought to the city each day. Journalists who have to file stories from and about Jerusalem will use this description in their leads.
But what does that observation really mean? What does it mean to call a place, a city sacred?
Of course, this immediately refers to sites and buildings which contain and make concrete the sacred or the holy. In Jerusalem, there are literally hundreds of these containers, some better known than others.
One can immediately think of the Western Wall for the Jews, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher or the Garden Tomb for Christians, or the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque for Islam.
These containers are only the hardware of a sacred place. A more fundamental question is what are the dynamics or the software that make a place holy?
In each case the containers "mark" the breakthrough of the divine and transcendent world into the mundane, immanent world of humans.
This is the rock where God ordered Abraham to bind his son Isaac for sacrifice, and where later David and Solomon would build the central ritual structure of Judaism, the twice-destroyed temple that many Jews dream will be rebuilt in a messianic future when the dead are revived.
These are the streets and stones touched by Jesus, the son of God, the place where the central ritual of Christianity was revealed, which identified bread and wine with the sacrificial body and blood of the savior, and the place where the End Times will be orchestrated.
This is the place where God brought his Prophet Muhammad in a miraculous night journey.
From the very same rock, chosen by God, Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, Jesus was crucified and Muhammad ascended into paradise to receive the order of daily prayer for Islam. It's also where the Day of Judgment will begin, where the righteous and the wicked will receive their rewards and punishments.
A sacred place pivots the heavenly world and the human world; it's the meeting point between the two.
This means, of course, human behavior must be more disciplined and guarded than if one where just visiting another place like Los Angeles or Miami.
Rituals are required to maintain the presence of the sacred. Pilgrims and residents dress differently and speak differently, and often become nervous, tense and even violent when they think others are not behaving appropriately.
Time in sacred places is heavier than in other places. The present is soaked with the past and the future.
Memory is both individual (my mother and father owned a bakery there on that corner) and collective or national (my people began here) and is present in every action and in every encounter.
Your existential history is here, who you really are, and every event of consequence happened in this place.
In a place like Jerusalem, religion is politics and politics is religion. These human activities are seamlessly bound together.
Holy cities are not just divided by religion and politics, but, as the distinguished Israeli urbanist and former Jerusalem deputy mayor Meron Benvenisti noted, are polarized by religion and politics.
The sacredness of places like Jerusalem is never static. It always is changing, another layer of meaning and symbolism is built on those before, and others will be built in the future.

Fussing with proper socket sizes can be frustrating, especially after we realize it's standard not metric or vise-versa.
The Gator-Grip aims to take out the guessing game and offers one socket that does the job of a whole set as well as replacing wrenches and vise grips that we use to unscrew eyelets and wing nuts.
The above photo was taken at the National Hardware Show and to the far right you can see the Gator Grip and it's use of 54 spring-biased hardened alloy steel rods.
According to the manufacturer:
The Gator-Grip socket contains 54 spring-biased hardened alloy steel rods. When placed over a fastener the center rods retract while the outer rods surround the fastener. As the fastener is turned the torque is transmitted through the outer rods to the walls of the socket. The 3/4″ diameter Gator-Grip? delivers 150 ft. lbs. of torque and fits bolt heads up to 3/4″ (eyebolts up to 2″). The 1.25″ diameter King Gator can deliver more than 450 ft lbs. of torque.

Four days after the December 12 National Vigil for Gun Violence Victims in Washington, DC, conducted in remembrance of all lost to or affected by gun violence, Newtown Foundation spokesperson Dave Ackert was still emotionally moved by the event.Two buses sponsored by the Newtown Foundation had left from Newtown early Wednesday morning, December 11, carrying 90 people. Two buses sponsored by the Newtown Foundation left from Newtown early Wednesday morning, December 11, carrying 90 people. An additional bus followed, populated by clergy from Newtown and Hartford. More than 100 other people from across the nation met up with the Newtown area contingent that afternoon, and two days of volunteerism and acts of kindness began. The actions preceded a late afternoon vigil held at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, on Thursday.
Police Chief Michael Kehoe has reversed an earlier position and decided against pursuing job termination against Police Officer Thomas Bean, a town police officer who responded to the 12/14 mass shooting incident at Sandy Hook School and subsequently has been off work since then due to a medical diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a brief December 5 letter to Police Commission Chairman Paul Mangiafico, Chief Kehoe wrote that he is withdrawing his previous recommendation that Officer Bean be terminated. In the letter, the police chief did not explain his reason for withdrawing the termination recommendation. Police Commission members endorsed the police chief's letter at a December 17 session, Mr Mangiafico said.
Congregation Adath Israel and The Jewish Federation will present "A Young Israeli Speaks Out," a talk by Nadav Weijel, on Sunday, December 29, at 2 pm, at Adath Israel Mr Weijel was a member of the Israeli Defense Forces for three years, including time patrolling the West Bank. In his 60-minute program, he will offer his views on the Israeli mentality, the challenges of being a soldier, and Israeli perspectives.
As childhood friends, Riverside Road resident Susan Oberstadt and her future husband, George, used to play in the cow fields that were eventually developed to build Sandy Hook School.
She became one of the first students to attend that new school back in the 1950s. Ms Oberstadt never dreamed that six decades later she would be sitting in a packed town council meeting fighting to keep her homestead from being taken by eminent domain so the town could enhance the development of a new Sandy Hook School. But after hearing some impassioned pleas from neighbors, some the Oberstadt family never met, as well as a lengthy testimonial from the long-time property owner herself at a December 18 meeting, the Legislative Council unanimously rejected the notion of taking the property.
Due to the weather, all Newtown Public Schools will be running on a two hour delay on Wednesday, December 18.
At 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, in a super-efficient industrial furnace, it takes about three hours for four tractor trailer loads of materials to be reduced to one three-foot -square box of ashes — or "sacred soil," as the cremated remains of the hundreds of thousands of items sent to the Town of Newtown after 12/14 are known.
Newtown resident Yolie Moreno accompanied Fred Hurley, director of public works, and the four truckloads of items to the waste-to-energy facility, Wheelabrator, in Bridgeport, Saturday night, October 26, bearing witness for the community to the respectful incineration of the items.
A Superior Court judge has sentenced John Heath, 70, of Bridgewater to 50 years in prison for the 1984 slaying of his wife, Elizabeth, who was then 32 years old. A jury convicted Heath in October of beat his wife to death, wrapping her remains in bedding and garbage bags, and then stuffing them into a dry well located beneath the floor of a barn at the Heaths' 89 Poverty Hollow Road property in Newtown.
The Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation is seeking residents' input through an anonymous online survey about how to go about distributing the remaining approximately $4.3 million, which has been set aside to support unmet needs in the community in both the short and long term.
Foundation Executive Director Jennifer Barahona, LCSW, told The Bee December 18 that in the first 24 hours the survey has been available to residents, more than 1,000 have already responded. But she is hoping for a much more significant representation from the community before closing out the survey in a few weeks.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy has announced that the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission is next scheduled to meet on Friday, December 20, at 10 am, at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. The commission is expected to receive a presentation from the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association regarding the response of law enforcement to Sandy Hook Elementary School on 12/14. Following the presentation, the commission members will discuss the State's Attorney's report on the tragedy.

Score from 251 reviews Fabulous
Room was very nice, well furnished, comfortable bed, quiet location on the top floor. Fresh milk delivered to the room within minutes of request.
Lots of stairs, but not a real problem. Black mould on the wall over the bath.
We stayed in the Franklin suite, fantastic comfortable and very spacious
The breakfast was tepid served on a cold plate no mushrooms poached eggs overcooked and hard, could be so much better with very little effort, cook needs to take more pride in what he is sending out.
Great staff, easy access and location, good bar, comfort evening meals
Period building,nicely refurbished rooms,warm friendly bar with good food,nice staff. Good location
Rooms stuffy and traffic noise when windows open. Breakfast not as good as in previous stay.Quite a few items not available on evening meal menus
Lovely room & comfortable king size bed. Breakfast was cooked to order & very nice although we had less on our plate on our second morning. Staff were all very friendly & helpful, particularly the bar man who stayed on after closing time to check us in on our arrival after being delayed in traffic.
On the way to our room we were a bit concerned as the decor was dated & in need of a touch of paint. Quite a surprise when we entered our room though as it was very nice. The bathroom could do with decorating.
We liked the staff, the room and the facilities. It was excellent value for money and we would definitely stay there again.
Room Bar Breakfast
Absolutely loved this very comfortable hotel and would highly recommend it. The finish of the room was of a really high standard and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Meals from the menu were a little small and on the pricey side, the children also got more than the adults! The back room beside the kitchen area which guests walked past could have done with a tidy and hoover up!
Majority of Staff friendly The menu except Sunday's
Sunday dinner Not enough milk for tea making facilities. One Foreign Waiter hard to understand. Occasionally hard to park
Rang the hotel beforehand and asked for a quiet room and room 5 was upstairs at the side and we never heard a sound all night. The bed was very comfy. Wa dined out at a celebration so did not eat in the evening but the breakfast was superb. We will definitely return.
Good Home cooked food Pleasant and helpful staff Good choice of beers, wines & spirits Spacey and comfortable bedroom
Stairs didn't bother us, but would imagine families or elderly would struggle with room 21
Room was clean and spacious and the food was good.
No lift
The staff were amazing couldn't do enough to help.The food was excellent and the bedroom very comfortable.
The whole hotel was absolutely boiling hot didn't sleep very well due to the heat.the radiators were not on but we felt as of we couldn't breath.we had both windows in our room open but it really made no difference.Air con should be installed.the tiles around the bath/ shower had black grouting which was slightly off putting .You can by Mould and mildew remover in most supermarkets made by dettol which would do the trick I use it in my own home it's brilliant.
The bed was very good
Bathroom needs renovation, does not meet 4-star expectation.
Friendly staff, excellent breakfast.
Bed was a bit uncomfortable and the pillows were also hard.
Perfect location just in between trafford centre and city centre,fairly quiet location and nice staff.
The hotel was quite hot
Nice staff, Nice room.
sheet on the bed had stain of blood on it !! Very poor breakfast, a bit noisy, poor room service, no fridge, no toothbrush and toothpaste, no iron. I asked for a toothpaste and they said we don't offer. There was no shop nearby where i could buy a toothpaste and had a business meeting in the morning. You can imagine how it was!!
Location very good for Metro.
No toilet roll holder/shelf in shower. Shower was not temperature controlled and therefore alternated between hot and cold. On Saturday night nowhere to park car on site. Towel rail not big enough. Chips and porridge very poor.
The breakfast was very poor standard. For a hotel with such smart well maintained bedrooms I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of the breakfast served.
Friendly staff Comfortable & clean room Excellent breakfast
- Old House - Public areas do not look trustworthy (cleaning, smell) - Smell in the room - Brown-yellow points (three) stains on the blanket - Feel not clean after the night- - rosty stains in the shower - Maximum 2 stars in continental europe for that hotel !
The service from the staff and the quality of the room. We choose it because it is a relatively short drive to the airport but far enough away to be personnal.
A bit of a rabbit warren but it is a period building rather than a modern box so only to be expected.
We had a relaxing time which is just what we needed.
room too hot
Very comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, good service.
A little noisy at times and not the most accessible of rooms.

Four Dew Tour events to watch Thursday
Dec 13, 2012, 10:30 AM EST
With the Sochi Games a mere 14 months away, some of the top Olympics snow sports athletes are in Breckenridge, Colo. for the Dew Tour this week to start preparing their runs for the world's biggest stage. Here are four events you shouldn't miss on Thursday. (And don't worry, you can catch them from your work desk here on NBCSports.com)
Men's Freeski Superpipe Semi-Final (10 a.m.)
Kevin Rolland has been the undisputed champ of the pipe over the past few years, winning gold at the 2010 and 2011 X-Games and sweeping the 2011 Dew tour. The 23-year-old Frenchman was also an ambassador for the 2012 Innsbruck Youth Olympics, mentoring younger athletes along with Lindsey Vonn.
Defending X-Games champion David Wise and 2010 Breckenridge winner Simon Dumont were set to headline the American contingent. The latter underwent wrist surgery Wednesday after suffering an injury in practice and will not compete. Gus Kenworthy, Tucker Perkins and Tanner Hall are three other Americans to watch.
Women's Snowboard Slopestyle Semi-Final (Noon)
Lake Tahoe native Jamie Anderson staked her claim as the best American slopstyle rider by winning three events in 2012, including gold at the X Games. Still just 22, she has a good chance of making it to Sochi.
Canadian Spencer O'Brien won the Dew Tour event in 2012 and is looking to repeat this season. Great Britain's Jenny Jones and Finland's Enni Rukajarvi are names you'll likely hear again come 2014.
Men's Snowboard Superpipe Semi-Finals (2:30 p.m.)
Shaun White, Louie Vito, and Scotty Lago – the three top names in the sport – are all set to compete at Dew Tour. Joining the American trio will be the Mitriani brothers (Luke and Jack) and California native Greg Bretz.
Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov – the 24-year-old who has two X Games silver medals to his name – enters Dew Tour 2012 as a legitimate podium threat. Finland's Peetu Piiroinen should also be in the mix. Kohei Kudo and Kazuhiro Kokubo each give the Japanese an outside shot at making the top 3.
Men's Freeski Big Air Finals (5:30 p.m.)
Nick Goepper is a name to stash in the back pocket. The Lawrenceburg, Ind. native has been a consistent slopestyle skier since 2011, and at just 18, has plenty of room for growth. Tom Wallisch, 25, has struggled in the past during Big Air (similar to aerials), but will be one to watch in anticipation of the slopestyle event.
The favorite here should be Breckenridge native Bobby Brown, who has two X-Games gold medals to his name. Look for the 21-year-old to put on a show in front of his hometown crowd.

New High School Allows Students to Earn College Degree and Land Job with IBM
The IBM International Foundation and the New York City Public Schools have collaborated to create the new Pathways in Technology Early College High School, which will open in September.
Dubbed "P-Tech," students can earn a standard four-year diploma, or opt to stay for two extra years — after which they'll graduate with an associate's degree in computer science from CUNY's College of Technology (City Tech) for free. They can then continue their studies at City Tech, attend other colleges and apply the credits they've already earned, or be considered for employment by IBM's IT department and at other companies.
To prepare students for the job market, IBM — which helped create P-Tech's curriculum — will provide mentoring and internship opportunities in information technology.
Four-fifths of P-Tech's inaugural freshman class of 130 are from low-income homes, and the only requirement for admission is an interest in computers, math and science.

There's going to be a lot of blood and ink spilled across the internet on the subject of the opening weekend for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.' Yes, the third film in the series did open significantly lower than its predecessors. Yes, there are definitely people at Lionsgate wringing their hands and trying to figure out why the film opened below expectations. And yet, that opening weekend is still massive. It's three day total is larger than most movies ever have a chance to make in their entire runs. So, let's have some perspective as we dive into this week's top 10.

Chandler police arrested a 57-year-old man Thursday on allegations he sexually molested a teenage girl for almost three years.
Investigators don't believe there are any other victims of Timothy Harrell, who was booked on 13 counts of various sexual offenses, according to Sgt. Joe Favazzo, Chandler police spokesman.
Harrell's most recent employment was as a custodian at Wilson Elementary School in Mesa, but the girl was not associated with the school and he was not working there when the alleged offenses began more than 10 years ago, Favazzo said.
Favazzo said investigators planned to submit the case to prosecutors on Tuesday.

Learning In The 21st Century Video
In early spring 2014 the LEGO Foundation was asked by the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education to participate in a video about Learning in the 21st Century. The video was presented at the Euroscience Open Forum, June 21–26, 2014. ESOF is Europe's largest interdisciplinary science and science policy event with a focus on science, business, policy, career, media and outreach.
The video raises awareness around the fact that it is not what children learn, but how they learn, especially in the critical years of early childhood, that enables us to continue exploring, participating, inventing, creating and acquiring knowledge throughout the life span: http://vimeo.com/90467085

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New public sculptures respond to the world around them
WHAT IT IS: Sentinel of Truth by Winnipeg artist Darren Stebeleski is a new public sculpture installed in the Millennium Library Park. Text excerpts from 18 books are etched onto recessed stainless steel panels, which are set into a 50-metre protecting steel wall.
WHAT IT MEANS: Architects sometimes say that if you can build in Winnipeg, you can build anywhere, a reference to the extreme temperature range we experience, from a frigid -40C to a sizzling 35C. The same goes with outdoor sculpture: Works have to withstand heat, cold, snow and wet, something that became clear when last week's celebratory public opening for Stebeleski's Sentinel -- as well as for emptyful by Vancouver-based artist and architect Bill Pechet -- got rained out.
Fortunately, the party was moved inside, but there I was outside, trying to take detailed notes in a downpour, my notebook getting all soggy and sad. As I squinted to read the text excerpts through the haze of rain, my eye was drawn to the sinuous patterning of water as it streamed down the steel wall. It struck me that these weather conditions were part of this massive, austerely beautiful work. In fact, they have to be.
Sentinel is designed to change with time and the elements. Stebeleski has used weathering steel, which will gradually transform with exposure to climatic conditions. The work is already showing blooms of rust and seams of vivid orange, which mark the dark steel like the brushstrokes of an Abstract Expressionist painting. With years, the textured patina will settle down into a dark, moody brown.
These physical conditions affect the way viewers "read" Sentinel, and they are a meaningful part of the work. On the one hand, Stebeleski references the power and palpable physicality of books by using the solidity of steel. But he is also aware of the fragility of free speech. Many of the text excerpts come from authors whose words have been censored or silenced. It makes sense, then, that the type shimmers in and out, shifting with light and shadow or obscured by rain. With its changing nature, Sentinel reminds us that we can't take reading for granted.
WHY IT MATTERS: Sentinel is part of the Winnipeg Arts Council's public art initiative. This innovative program understands that you can't just plunk artworks into empty space. Public art needs to interact with its viewers and with its site.
On that stormy evening, emptyful -- which includes a water feature -- seemed to be calling back to the weather with a spray of fog and mist, while Sentinel stood stoically in the driving rain, rust settling into its frames. A day, a week, a month from now, the sculptures will look different, responding to the world around them.
