Maybe I'm a little biased, but I'm convinced Tulsa has it all. Academic focus and impressively high rankings on a national level, but also campus involvement, school spirit, and division 1 athletics that contribute to all of my favorite parts of college. The Tulsa family grows stronger every year with the new freshman class and it serves as a great reminder of the benefits of attending a small school. Everything from small class sizes, to our campus community makes TU something I want to always be a part of. We won an exciting football game today, so maybe that's what is making me so sentimental about my school, but I'll keep this brief. Hearing the roar of the football stadium chanting GOLDEN HURRICANE back in forth in a tense 4th quarter was absolutely incredible. We defend Tulsa and are dedicated to everything it stands for. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of something so strong. Plus, campus is beautiful, and that doesn't hurt one bit either.

Most significantly of all, in view of today's new political climate, the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-western militancy by fundamentalist Muslims, one of the first eruptions of Islamic killings anywhere. Simon Winchester's long experience in world wandering, history, and geology give this fascinating and iconic event an entirely new life and perspective.
©2003 Simon Winchester; (P)2003 HarperCollinsPublishers, Inc.
"Thrilling, comprehensive, literate, meticulously researched and scientifically accurate....It is one of the best books ever written about the history and significance of a natural disaster." (The New York Times Book Review(
"If you're looking for drama, you'll certainly find it here....Winchester manages a dry and ironic delivery, very much in keeping with his writing style. But the main point of interest when the dust has settled is the far-flung ramifications of this eruption upon world events. This is a winner." (AudioFile)
"All readers, science-prone or not, will be delighted by this experience-expanding book." (Booklist)
"very slow!"
When are authors going to learn that they are not also READERS! This book is painfully dry. With all the detail, I felt like I was back in a college class with one of the painfully monotonous professors. I was totally looking forward to this, and totally disappointed. Could NOT get thru it lest I fall asleep at the wheel of the car!
"Far too much detail, lacks emotion"
Author has a tendency to go off on tangents many of which barely stay on point. Listening at times is very laborious as the author elaborates on whatever extraneous topic seems to pop into his head. When finished I'm sure you'll be able to pick up an easy three credits at any university that offers a geology course as the depth of detail covering the evolution of volcanoes as well as tectonic plates is the equal of any text book you'll find on the subject. There is no connection to any main characters that typically draw the reader into a book so they can truly experience the emotional magnitude of the event as it effects the character.
Retama Thorn
"Interesting topic, terrible reading.."
Why does someone who reads think that a scientific topic deserves a monotonous tone of voice? I simply could not listen long to this narrative without shutting my CD off. Too bad....

Suspect prevented family from calling for help
A Middletown family almost became victims of a home invasion but their dogs may have scared the suspect away.
The family was awakened Nov. 17 by the sound of someone trying to enter their home.
That startled their dogs too.
By the time homeowner Peter McGuire went to investigate the suspect was gone.
The next day, McGuire noticed the suspect cut the family's phone line before attempting to get into the house.
The McGuires called police and made a report. Police haven't arrested any suspects.
"We don't have anything that anyone would want to break in to get, but it makes me feel better that they are keeping an eye on our house," Vicky McGuire said.
Police are also investigating if this attempted break-in is related to others in the same area.

Late Show with Ray Rossi
Poll: Should pillars of Islam be taught in World History essay assignment
Late Show – Who were some of the heroes of Hurricane Sandy?
Live from the Jim Gearhart Broadcast Facility somewhere in the wilds of the Garden State, it's New Jersey's ONLY ALL LIVE –ALL LOCAL-ALL NIGHT SHOW, with me, Ray Rossi – the Jersey Guy – merely a guy with a microphone, transmitter, and internet connection.
Ray the Ray Heroes of the Day – the volunteers from Farmers Insurance and St. Bernard Project
First responders, utility crews from out of state, volunteers who've reached out to feed and shelter those who've lost everything due to the storm – in other words, all the unsung heroes are those we tip our hats to on this day – the 2nd anniversary of the devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy
What's your favorite Jersey 'dive bar?'
The Spike TV show "Bar Rescue" focuses on watering holes that need a new spin – something to give them another chance at life, and bring in a newer clientele.
Sometimes it works, as in the case of Jersey City's Laguna Lounge, now redubbed "Tres Cuartos" – and other times the newer, shinier version doesn't hold a candle to the former's atmosphere
POLL: How has Gov. Christie handled the Ebola crisis so far?
One odd thing to come out of the ongoing Ebola drama was a piece I heard this morning on our news report stating that we have no written policy on quarantine.
Barring anything that's come from the CDC, we've been left to our own devices to come up with a policy on what to do with travelers and health care workers coming through Newark from West Africa
Late Show: – Are you still suffering the after-effects of Hurricane Sandy?
Do you trust Apple Pay or any mobile pay system?
Paying with cash has become about as passé as listening to music with a Walkman.
And pretty soon carrying credit cards will be a thing of the past too.
This is all due to the fact that most of us have a smart device – which can do just about anything you want it to – simply by pressing an app

When Liberals Attack Each Other … Bill Maher To Charlie Rose, To Claim that Islam Is Like Other Religions Is Naive And Plain Wrong … "Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should be killed for it."
Okay this is rather frightening, hell might have just froze over. In the course of a week I find myself first agreeing with Michael Moore and now Bill Maher. YIKES!!! During an interview with Charlie Rose, uber-lib Bill Maher and even bigger uber-lib Rose clashed over Islam when Rose tried to link Islam to Christianity and tried to disavow radical Muslims as representatives of the religion. Bill Maher refuted Rose in saying it is just naive and plain wrong to claim that Islam is like other religions. Then provided some common sense examples. It has always been the ultimate in hypocrisy how the LEFT would embrace Islam and condemn Christianity or Judaism. It is Islam that treats women as second class citizens, it is Islam that would have zero tolerance for gays or anyone else who was not of Islam. Yet most libs just turn a blind eye to it and pretend like it does not exist
Click HERE or on PIC to watch the VIDEO
MAHER: There are illiberal beliefs that are held by vast numbers of Muslim people that –
ROSE: A vast number of Christians too.
MAHER: No, that's not true. Not true. Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should be killed for it. Vast numbers of Christians do not treat women as second class citizens.
MAHER: – do not believe if you draw a picture of Jesus Christ you should get killed for it. So yes, does ISIS do Khmer Rouge-like activities where they just kill people indiscriminately who aren't just like them? Yes. And would most Muslim people in the world do that or condone that? No.
Rose went on to claim that "moderate Muslims" do not approve of the actions of radical groups like ISIS, Maher provided proof that it was not the case. Rose said the Koran does not teach Muslims to do "these kind of things." Good grief, has this dude actually ever read the Koran?
MAHER: But most Muslim people in the world do condone violence just for what you think.
ROSE: How do you know that?
MAHER: They do. First of all they say it. They shout it.
ROSE: Vast majorities of Muslims say that?
MAHER: Absolutely. There was a Pew poll in Egypt done a few years ago — 82% said, I think, stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery. Over 80% thought death was the appropriate punishment for leaving the Muslim religion. I'm sure you know these things.
ROSE: Well I do. But I don't believe –
MAHER: So to claim that this religion is like other religions is just naive and plain wrong. It is not like other religious. The New York Times pointed out in an op-ed a couple weeks ago that in Saudi Arabia just since August 4th, they think it was, they have beheaded 19 people. Most for non-violent crimes including homosexuality.

And So Her 2016 Presidential Campaign Begins, Hillary Clinton Blames Rise of Islamic Militants (ISIS) on Obama's Failed Policies & "Stupid Stuff"
Hillary Clinton blames Islamic militants rise on Barack Obama's failed policies. But what difference does it make Hillary?
Suddenly, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blames US foreign policy failures under President Barack Obama for the rise of Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria. Of course the follow up question would be, what foreign policy? In an interview with The Atlantic, Hillary suggested that Obama lacked a strategy for dealing with the jihadist threat. She said, "Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle." Hillary was referring to an Obama slogan. OUCH. Hey Libs and Dems, that's Hillary Clinton agreeing with Conservatives and Republicans. How are them apples?
Obama and Hillary in friendlier times
The Gateway Pundit reminds us of what Clinton was saying on September 2011. In an interview with VOA Hillary Clinton said, "Al-Qaeda was on the path of defeat."
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton blamed the rise of Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria on failures of US policy under President Barack Obama, in an interview published Sunday.
Clinton specifically faulted the US decision to stay on the sidelines of the insurgency against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad as opening the way for the most extreme rebel faction, the Islamic State.
"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad —- there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle -— the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," Clinton told the Atlantic.
Clinton, widely considered an undeclared presidential candidate, was an unsuccessful advocate of arming the Syrian rebels when she was secretary of state during Obama's first term.
Hillary has lost that luvin', sycophant feeling
The Atlantic: Hillary Clinton: 'Failure' to Help Syrian Rebels Led to the Rise of ISIS.
President Obama has long ridiculed the idea that the U.S., early in the Syrian civil war, could have shaped the forces fighting the Assad regime, thereby stopping al Qaeda-inspired groups—like the one rampaging across Syria and Iraq today—from seizing control of the rebellion. In an interview in February, the president told me that "when you have a professional army … fighting against a farmer, a carpenter, an engineer who started out as protesters and suddenly now see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict—the notion that we could have, in a clean way that didn't commit U.S. military forces, changed the equation on the ground there was never true."
Well, his former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, isn't buying it. In an interview with me earlier this week, she used her sharpest language yet to describe the "failure" that resulted from the decision to keep the U.S. on the sidelines during the first phase of the Syrian uprising.
"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad—there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle—the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," Clinton said.
At one point, I mentioned the slogan President Obama recently coined to describe his foreign-policy doctrine: "Don't do stupid shit" (an expression often rendered as "Don't do stupid stuff" in less-than-private encounters).
This is what Clinton said about Obama's slogan: "Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle."
She softened the blow by noting that Obama was "trying to communicate to the American people that he's not going to do something crazy," but she repeatedly suggested that the U.S. sometimes appears to be withdrawing from the world stage.
But Hillary, what difference does it make? Oh, it suddenly becomes something to speak out and talk about to distance yourself from Obama's failed policies because you want to run for president in 2016.

Secretary of State John Kerry Caught on Hot Mic Comment About Israel … "It's a Hell of a Pinpoint Operation"
Once again the Obama administration treats it's allies with condemnation … Kerry was for saying it was an Israel hell of a pinpoint operation, before he was against it.
Secretary of State John Kerry was caught on a hot mic during this Sunday morning's round robin of talk shows with some interesting and blunt remarks as a condemnation of Israeli tactics Kerry said on the open mic, . "It's a hell of a pinpoint operation" not once but twice."The Washington Post's reports:
Kerry's comments are clear. "It's a hell of a pinpoint operation," he says, then repeats it. "It's a hell of a pinpoint operation." It's an apparent reference to Israel's insistence that its incursion into the region would be limited. "It's escalating significantly," the person on the phone replies, and Kerry then says: "We've got to get over there. I think we ought to go tonight." He then calls it "crazy" to be "sitting around."
Sec. of State Kerry was asked by Chris Wallace on 'Fox News Sunday' what he meant by his comments. As reported at Powerline, In an unusual moment during Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace presented Secretary of State John Kerry with video recorded before he came on air and asked Kerry whether he thought that Israel went too far? Let the double talk begin.
"When you said it's a hell of a pinpoint operation," Wallace asked, are you "upset that the Israelis are going too far?"
"It's very difficult in these situations," Kerry said, repeating that the United States supports Israel's right to defend itself. He then explained his comments by saying, "I reacted, obviously, in a way that anybody does in respect to young children and civilians."

Al Qaeda Magazine Suggesting Target List for Attacks Including The US Tennis Open
Who finds it a little bizarre that Al Qaeda has a magazine that would announce their terror intentions?
In a briefing for New York City's private security community, Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD's director of intelligence analysis, warned that Inspire magazine, Al Qaeda magazine, is instructing terrorists on how to make bombs and where to set them off. It would appear that the US Tennis Open in Flushing Meadows, Queens, NY has made the list. Will Al Qaeda now start targeting sporting events where infidels are just having a good time and bothering no one? Was the Boston Marathon just the beginning?
The US Open Tennis Championship appears on a wish list of terror targets in an al Qaeda magazine, an NYPD official said Wednesday.
In a briefing for New York City's private security community, Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD's director of intelligence analysis, warned that Inspire magazine is instructing would-be terrorists on how to make bombs and where to set them off, WCBS 880?s Marla Diamond reported.
The magazine lists targets in Washington, D.C.; Virginia; and New York — including the US Open, which begins Aug. 25 in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
My persona belief is that contained sporting events like The US Open are less susceptible to attack because they are contained and easier to defend. One would think these cowards would attack more open events like a marathon that is really impossible to control.
I wonder if any of these would be Al Qaeda terrorists have come through that secure Southern border?

Barack Obama Goes Golfing & Fund Raising as Iraq Implodes & All the Sacrifices of Americans Soldiers are Lost to ISIS Terrorists Thanks to Obama
Barack Obama, a complete and epic failure as Commander in Chief … Obama just doesn't care about America, the military or Americans!
It was said from the outset by many intelligent and common sense thinking people that a premature exit from Iraq by the US military would result in the fall of the Iraq government to insurgents. However, Barack Obama was never one of those intelligent people either as a US Senator or as a president. In order to keep his campaign promise to end the war in Iraq, he sacrificed any victory and all of the sacrifices and lives of those brave American soldiers who fought, died and were injured. Now Iraq is in dire straights as Islamic jihadists take over the country.
In January 2007 then Senator Barack Obama went on Face the Nation to share his foreign policy brilliance stating, "One of the things that I strongly disagree with Senator McCain is, this notion that we have future catastrophe to look forward to if we start phasing down troops." Guess who was wrong, Epically Wrong! Has there ever been a worse Commander in Chief, ever? Iraq is in complete chaos. City after city are falling in Iraq as Iraq implodes.
Barack Obama stood by and watched Iraq fall to terrorists. There were multiple requests from Iraq for United States airstrikes against the insurgents in staging areas; however, they were turned down. What is up with our Commander in Chief refusing to help militarily in Iraq? Why is he emboldening terrorists? As Ralph Peters said on Fox News, the Jihadi conquest of Iraq the biggest Islamist victory since 12th century. Welcome to Obama's Jihadi state.
"Patty Ann, this is President Obama's real legacy. The creation of the first jihadi state in modern history stretching from central Syria to Central Iraq and now approaching Baghdad all because President Obama saw everything through a political lense. He's gonna end the War in Iraq. He refused to negotiate seriously for residual US presence.
And now, just to put this in perspective for viewers, with this jihadi conquest of Mosul and jihadi forces approaching Baghdad, this is shaping up to be the biggest Arab jihadi victory since the 12th Century, 1187, and the fall of Crusader Jerusalem. This is momentous.
I can't overstate the importance of Obama's jihadi state in the heart of the Middle East."
Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
So what exactly is Obama trying to accomplish except to try and dispirit America? Barack Obama released 5 Taliban insurgents from GITMO for one military deserter, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Something that the American people are against, and the number will only continue to grow, the more and more the truth comes out. Obama has all but lost Iraq. All of the gains from brave American military soldiers all seem for naught. Sadly, many veterans feel their accomplishments were a waste. A note to the US military veterans of Iraq, what you did was not a waste, your actions were destroyed by Obama more hellbent on a political ideology than winning a war.
Instead, this joke of a president continues and doubles down on his failed foreign policy.Obama spoke on Friday from the White House with some of the most gutless talk from a US president ever. Instead of taking decisive action to help Iraq, Obama is going to continue to dither. UNREAL.
'We will not be sending US troops back into combat but I had asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraq security forces. And I'll be reviewing those options in the days ahead. I do want to be clear though. This is not solely or even primarily a military challenge."
Barack Obama stated on Friday, he would be reviewing options from his national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraq security forces. Hmm, really? Looks like as Iraq falls to ISIS terrorists, Barack Obama is going to go golfing and fundraising. For the love of God, are you serious? After all, aren't we glad that our US president has his priorities straight?
The president's handlers scoped out some golf courses and gave a list to Obama just in case he wants to spend Father's Day on the links.
Obama plans to take a short flight to Orange County Saturday to raise money for the Democratic National Committee at a closed-door event at a private home.
Thanks Barack Obama: Taliban & Taliban's Supreme Leader Mullah Omar Celebrate Release of Gitmo Detainees for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Thanks Barack Obama … Isn't this special, Taliban's Supreme Leader Mullah Omar is celebrating the release of the GITMO 5 in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
The Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, hailed the release of the GITMO 5. Why shouldn't Omar be elated, the 5 terror suspects freed by Obama administration over the weekend were labeled 'high risk' in 2008 Pentagon report. Are you serious, Obama exchanged 5 high risk Taliban terrorists for what appears by all accounts to be a deserter? Is it bad enough that the Obama administration just negotiated with terrorists, but compounded matters with selecting a potential deserter as their test case. UNREAL.
"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire Afghan Muslim nation, all the mujahideen and to the families and relatives of the prisoners for this big victory regarding the release of five Taliban leaders from Guantanamo prison," he said in a statement quoted by the AFP news agency.
It will be one year and one minute before these five Taliban terrorists are back on the terrorist battle field against the United States. Could Obama have done anything better to inspire the Taliban to continue the fight against America.
From the Islamic Eremite of Afghanistan:
Barack Obama and his misguided administration just created five Taliban rock stars.
We heartily congratulate the whole nation, Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate, particularly the kith and kin of the released ones that five heads of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan namely Mulla Muhammad Fazal Akhund, Mulla Noorulla Noori, Mulla Khairulla Khairkhwa, Mulla Abdul Haq Waseeq and Moulavi Muhammad Nabi who had been incarcerated for the last thirteen years in 'Guantanamo Jail' are released due to the benevolence of Allah Almighty and the sacrifices of the heroic and courageous Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate.
These five heads were released in the result of an indirect negotiation between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the United States mediated by Qatari government. They will remain with their families inside Qatar and will lead a normal life.
To get the preceding five heads released, it is worth mentioning that the Islamic Emirate handed over the American soldier to the US who was captive with us approximately for the last five years.
These five heads of the Islamic Emirate were handed over on Saturday at 07:00 pm Afghanistan standard time to the delegation of Qatar who has been waiting there in 'Guantanamo Bay' for the previous three days. This delegation, including five heads of the Islamic Emirate, left Guantanamo at 10:00 pm and will arrive in Qatar today Sunday. They will be received and welcomed by the Political Bureau of the Islamic Emirate inside Qatar and members of the leading council of the Islamic Emirate. Similarly, the American prisoner 'Bergdahl' was handed over in the suburbs of 'Khost' province to the other side on Saturday at 07:00 pm Afghanistan standard time.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been taking all possible measures since long to get all the Afghan prisoners released whether they are incarcerated inside the country or outside and to let them enjoy a free and peaceful life.
In the future too, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is determined to get all the Mujahidin prisoners released as soon as possible. In this regard, we expect all the legal and human rights societies particularly the United Nations to share and accelerate their efforts with Afghan people and the Islamic Emirate on the basis of human sympathy so that all the incarcerated people are freed and their basic legal and human rights are safeguarded and they could lead an independent and peaceful life of their own accord.
EXIT QUESTION: How soon will the next kidnapping or abduction take place in the Middle East now that Obama has shown that he is willing to negotiate with terrorists in hostage swaps?
Nigerian Defense Chief Air Marshal Alex Badeh Says They Have Located the Missing 300 School Girls Abducted by Boko Haram … Fears Use of Force to Free Them Could Get them Killed (VIDEO)
Abducted Nigerian school girls supposedly found …
Nigerian Defense Chief Air Marshal Alex Badeh stated yesterday that the Nigerian military has located the nearly 300 abducted school girls taken by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram. However, he fears that if the military tried to free them, many of the girls could be killed in the process. Badeh made this announcement in front of thousands of protesters in front of the Defense Ministry Headquarters, but did not say anything specific about where the girls are located. The terror Islamist group Boko Haram abducted nearly 300 girls on April 14 from a boarding school in Chibok in northern Nigeria.
Nigeria's military has located nearly 300 school girls abducted by Islamic extremists but fears using force to try to free them could get them killed, the country's chief of defense said Monday.
Air Marshal Alex Badeh told demonstrators supporting the much criticized military that Nigerian troops can save the girls. But he added, "we can't go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back."
He spoke to thousands of demonstrators who marched to Defense Ministry headquarters in Abuja, the capital. Many were brought in on buses, indicating it was an organized event.
Asked by reporters where they had found the girls, Badeh refused to elaborate.
"We want our girls back. I can tell you we can do it. Our military can do it. But where they are held, can we go with force?" he asked the crowd.
People roared back, "No!"
"If we go with force what will happen?" Badeh asked.
"They will die," the demonstrators responded.

Pregnant Sudanese Christian Woman Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Faces Death Sentence in Sudan for Converting From Islam … She Refused to Recant her Faith Declaring, "I am a Christian, and I will remain a Christian."
27 year old Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, a wife and mother expecting another child, was sentenced to death by a Sudanese court for apostasy. The Court ruled that she is Muslim because her father was Muslim, even though she was raised Christian. The court ruled she left Islam and therefore the pregnant Meriam is subject to receive 100 lashes for adultry and then be hanged. Before imposing this heinous sentence, the court gave her an opportunity to recant her Christian faith, but Elnabi said Ibrahim refused to do so, declaring: "I am a Christian, and I will remain a Christian."
"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged," Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa told Mrs Ibrahim, addressing her by her father's name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah.
Mrs Ibrahim also faces a sentence of flogging for adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan is considered void under Islamic law. She will be given 100 lashes. Because her father was Muslim, she was considered by the court to be the same.
Oh wait Sharia law is pro-woman after all … it prohibits the execution of pregnant women. Instead, the sentence is delayed until two years after lactation. UNREAL.
Ibrahim's lawyer, Mohamed Jar Elnabi, said that he plans to ask an appeals court to review the sentence, and could file the request as soon as Sunday. Elnabi argues that Sudan's constitution allows religious conversion without restriction.
On Thursday, a Khartoum court convicted Ibrahim of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, and sentenced her to death.
Ibrahim was born to a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox mother. Her father left when she was 6, and she was raised by her mother as a Christian.
Her lawyer, Mohamed Jar Elnabi, said the case started after Ibrahim's brother filed a complaint against her.
The brother alleged Ibrahim had gone missing for several years and that her family was shocked to find she had married a Christian man.
Because her father was Muslim, the Sharia law court considered her to be the same. It refused to recognize her marriage to a Christian and also convicted her of adultery, with an additional sentence of 100 lashes.
The death ruling for Ibrahim drew condemnation from Western embassies in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and international rights groups, including Amnesty International.
When are people going to comprehend that Muslim Sharia Law cares little about woman and Islam has nothing to do with freedom of religion.
"The Embassies of the United States of American, the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands in Khartoum express their deep concern over the apostasy ruling handed down on Sunday in the trial of Meriam Yahia Ibhrahim Ishag," said a statement posted on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum.
"We call upon the Government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs, a right which is enshrined in international human rights law as well as in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution," the statement added.
Background of this atrocity … Her own brother ratted her out, who filed a complaint against her, alleging that she had gone missing for several years and that her family was shocked to find she had married a Christian man.
Amnesty International said Ibrahim was arrested and charged with adultery in August 2013 after a family member reportedly claimed that she was committing adultery because of her marriage to a Christian South Sudanese man.
Under Sudan's Islamic Shari'a law, a Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim man, thus any such marriage is considered to be adultery. The court later added the charge of apostasy when Ibrahim asserted that she was a Christian and not a Muslim.

Political Correctness Has Jumped the Shark … Hump Day Camel now Considered Racist & Racially Insensitive
Political Correctness Has Jumped the
Shark Camel … WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE COUNTRY I GREW UP IN: PC EDITION.
The latest absurd PC reaction comes from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and their "HUMP DAY" event. A group of students had planned to bring a camel to the "Hump" day event; however, the event was canceled. Some clueless students thought that bringing a camel would be considered racist and offensive and racially insensitive to Middle Eastern cultures. I think all I have to say to both sides is grow a set. It's a frigging camel you so-called college educated fools. Hump Day, camel's hump, get the connection? Maybe the RHA should have brought to the event a Humpback whale, or Quasimodo or Igor from Young Frankenstein? But some how I think the subtlety would be lost on the ignorant or some one would have been offended by individuals with humps.
Enough is enough, I am sick and tired of running everyday life over who might be offended. Newsflash, there will always be some one that will be offended by something. Imagine if we never produced a drug to help people survive with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol and any other malady because of the side affects harmed just one person? Ever take a look at any drug and the long list of side affects? That is what PC has become in the United States. You know what is offensive, kidnapping girls and forcing Islam upon them and selling them into sex slavery, honor killing and sentencing a pregnant Christian woman to death by hanging for leaving Islam. THAT'S OFFENSIVE!!!
BTW, no one seemed to find the used of a bull or a pie eating contest at the Southern Hospitality event. How offensive, are you saying people from the South are obese and are rednecks who just ride mechanical bulls like in the movie Urban Cowboy? But I guess that is different.
The "Hump Day" event, put on by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), was supposed to be "a petting zoo type of atmosphere" in which students could hang out and take photos with a live camel. According to Aaron Macke, the group's advisor, the camel is owned by a local vendor and trained for special events.
But the event was subsequently cancelled after students took to Facebook to proclaim their concerns. The students said they were concerned about the money spent on bringing the camel to campus—around $500—and the implication that it would be racially insensitive to Middle Eastern cultures.
The Facebook group called "Protest Hump DAAAAAAY!" had more than 100 RSVP'd attendees before it was deleted on Wednesday.
"RHA's goal in programming is to bring residents together in a fun and safe environment where all people can enjoy themselves," RHA president Lindsay Goodwin said in a statement on RHA's Facebook page. "It appears however, this program is dividing people and would make for an uncomfortable and possibly unsafe environment for everyone attending or providing the program. As a result, RHA has decided to cancel the event."
GET REAL!!! I guess you are going to tell is that the GEICO "Guess what day it is" Hump day commercial is racist and culturally insensitive as well? Come on folks, is this the kind of people that we are breading in colleges today? No one had a picture of Allah and placed it in urine or spread feces on it. No one burned a Koran. No one had a scene of Allah with a camel in a compromising position. All those would be considered offensive. However, when the same things are done with Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary, it is called free speech art.
Uber-Leftist Bill Maher & Conservative Dinesh D'Souza Battle Arianna Huffington & Lib Panel Over Islam, " Liberals Too PC to Ever Condemn It "
Condemning Islamist extremists and Muslim religion make strange bedfellows.
Who would have ever thought that liberal comedian Bill Maher and Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza would ever be on the same side of any topic? However, that is what happened on on Friday night HBO's 'Real Time' with Bill Maher. The liberal comedian astonished his fellow leftist panel by arguing that the Islamic religion tends to influence horrific acts of violence and has become the "elephant in the room." Maher was irked by how liberals "do not stand up for liberalism" and outright condemn brutal Islamic laws that go against values of equality and freedom, especially where women are concerned. Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza opined, claiming that most modern day terrorist attacks have some ties to Islam. He joked that you don't see a lot of "Buddhist suicide bombers." Comedian Baratunde Thurston warned that Islam did not have a "monopoly" on extremism as he reminded the panel that Christians also commit acts of violence. Maher then amazingly and correctly responded, "If this was the 14th century, I would be coming down on the Christians because that's when they were too violent. Religions and cultures change." WOW, nice. How progressive, liberals are still living and outraged by things that took place in the 14th century.
Maher makes the comment as the libs on the panel and in the audience had no idea what to do or say when Maher continued to question the evils of Islam, according to "Sharia Law, failure to perform Friday prayers could get you whippings or amputations. Because its a religion of Peace. [Uncomfortable audience response]. I know, I'm the bad guy because I am against the people who cut your arms off for not praying."
"There's no mention here of connecting this to the religion, which is always what I am seeking to do because I think that's the elephant in the room," Maher said. "And that in the religion at large, women are seen as property, second-class at best, often as property."
Reason's Matt Welch claimed the kidnappers' ties to Islam are being highlighted in the media, but also agreed that the religion "is providing a disproportionate share of radical nut bags killing people."
Huffington Post President Arianna Huffington and comedian Baratunde Thurston both warned Maher against condemning the entire religion because of the behavior of radicals. Thurston also claimed that Islam doesn't have a "monopoly" on extremism.
"Kind of they do," Maher said. "Not a monopoly, but perspective is important. … It's the Titanic hitting the iceberg compared to Whitney Houston dying in her bathtub."
To answer Bill Maher's question regarding why liberals do not stand up to Islam and Sharia Law for their despicable treatment of women would mean they would have to admit that this is the real war on women. It is called the liberal double standard.

Changing our material future, layer by layer
Story supplied by LU Press Office
A proposal involving researchers from the Universities of Manchester, Cambridge and Lancaster, has been awarded 13.4 million Euros (around £11m) to form a "Synergy Group" by the European Research Council (ERC).
It will aim to utilise two-dimensional substances, such as wonder material graphene, to engineer new types of materials which are just a few atoms thick, but nevertheless have the power to revolutionise the future development of devices such as solar cells, and flexible and transparent electronics.
Starting with one atom-thick substances which possess remarkable properties, the group will focus on ways in which they can be layered up to form 'heterostructures'. These heterostructures will still be just a few atoms thick, but will combine the properties of the different two-dimensional materials which comprise them, effectively enabling developers to embed the functions of a device into its very fabric.
For example, the research team envisage combining an atomic layer which functions as a sensor, with layers that function variously as an amplifier, transistor, or solar cell, for power generation. The resulting material, still just a few atomic layers in thickness, would be capable of running a whole circuit.
The award - part of ERC's first competition for Synergy Grants - will bring together the talents of the Nobel Prize-winner, Professor Kostya Novoselov at Manchester, Professor Andrea Ferrari at Cambridge, and Professor Vladimir Falko at Lancaster.
The team will be part of the UK's Graphene Global Research and Technology Hub, including the £61m National Graphene Institute, which is being developed at The University of Manchester to continue its world-leading and collaborative work in the field.
Widely regarded as a wonder material on account of its numerous capabilities, graphene is a two-dimensional structure consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb or chicken wire structure. It was first isolated by Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov at The University of Manchester in 2004.
It is the thinnest material in the world and yet also one of the strongest. It conducts electricity as efficiently as copper and outperforms all other materials as a conductor of heat.
The Synergy Group will aim to combine these properties with those of other, two-dimensional materials for the sake of creating an amazing range of applications and devices, among them new types of transistors, solar cells and other optoelectronic components.
Professor Falko said: "Our project is challenging, both at the technical and conceptual level. We aim to extend science and technology of atomically thin films into materials far beyond graphene, where properties of atomically thin crystals are not known, yet."
"This project offers excellent opportunities for the early career researchers, who, thanks to the ERC, will be able to join our team - theorists, experimentalist and engineers - to enjoy surprises and make discoveries."

Stay informed of the latest progress in canine health research.
We need your support to fund research that helps dogs live longer, healthier lives.
Donate Today
What if cancer could be treated by chemotherapy that was easier, cheaper, and more effective than current therapies—and had fewer side effects? People and their dogs can look forward to more comfortable cancer therapy if a new study in progress at Colorado State University succeeds.
Barbara Biller, DVM, PhD, an assistant professor of Oncology at CSU, recently tested a relatively new cancer treatment technique called metronomic chemotherapy. The study was funded in part by the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF). Dr. Biller explained her research at CHF Breeder's Symposium in Fort Collins, CO.
Why dogs? Humans and dogs share many of the same kinds of cancer. Their tumors are identical in location, growth, and even genes. And just as dogs live shorter lives than people, their disease cycles are shorter, meaning it takes less time to study a number of patients. Most studies in the past used laboratory mice. Cancer was given to special mice with impaired immune systems. Dogs, like people, have naturally occurring cancer. Canine cancer is an excellent model for studying human disease.
Chemotherapy works by killing cancer cells because they grow faster than other cells. Current medications target these fast-growing cells. Patients are given the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), usually by intravenous infusion, then wait several weeks before another treatment so normal cells can recover from the toxin. Unfortunately, some other normal body cells also grow fast: Bone marrow cells, intestinal cells, and hair follicle cells. This causes the well-known side effects of chemotherapy, including a drop in red blood cell count, nausea, and hair loss.
Dogs less frequently have severe reactions to chemotherapy than people do, but a lower-cost oral administration technique would benefit dogs and their owners.
"All options in veterinary oncology hinge on quality of life, not quantity," Dr. Biller emphasized.
In contrast to the large doses of toxic chemicals used in classic chemotherapy protocols, metronomic chemotherapy relies on smaller, more frequent doses, often of the same proven medicines. Think of the tick, tick, tick of a metronome. Treatment usually is given in a daily oral dose, reducing costs and hospital visits.
Though it uses the same chemicals as MTD chemo, metronomic chemo works differently. Rapidly growing cancer cells need a blood supply. The tumor secretes substances that stimulate blood vessel growth. Used metronomically, the commonly used cancer drugs work not on killing the tumor, but on killing endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. There is no effect on normal cells typically damaged by chemotherapy.
With a doctoral degree in immunology, Dr. Biller's special interest is in how chemotherapy reacts with the immune system. She hopes to treat cancer better by integrating chemotherapy with techniques that also treat the immune system. Metronomic chemo appears to have a special ability to "wake up" the immune system, she said.
Some key cells of the immune system do appear to be stimulated by metronomic chemotherapy. Metronomic use of the common chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, also known as Cytoxan, selectively kills regulatory T cells (Treg), instrumental in "hiding" cancer from the immune system, without harming other immune system cells.
Perhaps most encouraging of all, patients who no longer respond to standard chemotherapy, both canine and human, seem to respond to metronomic use of the drugs. Oncologists now may have one more important weapon in the arsenal against advanced cancer.
Metronomic treatment is so new in veterinary medicine that there are only four published studies on the topic, Dr. Biller said. She explained that there is no standard yet for which drugs and doses will prove best. In one, a study of human breast cancer patients where MTD doses of Cytoxan failed, 32 per cent of the patients responded to Cytoxan given metronomically. All were treated as outpatients and suffered no side effects. The cost was less than $50 a month.
Dr. Biller's team conducted a pilot study, giving Cytoxan in metronomic doses to seven dogs with various types of cancer. Over a month, there was no change in the Treg levels, but there were no adverse effects.
For a larger study, the researchers chose dogs with soft tissue sarcoma. The cancer is common in older dogs, usually occurs on the dogs' legs where it is hard to remove completely by surgery, and it usually grows slowly and doesn't spread to other spots in the body. By dividing the test group into two groups and administering two different doses of metronomic Cytoxan over 28 days, they found that the higher dose decreased circulating Treg cells and decreased small blood vessels in tumor biopsy samples—two goals of the study. It did not reduce circulating endothelial cells that can migrate to blood vessels and encourage growth. None of the dogs got sick.
This is the first veterinary research to study what doses of drugs should be used in a metronomic way. Dr. Biller envisions it as a starting point for other studies. She predicts that there will be similar studies for other tumor types and drug combinations, or combinations of metronomic and MTD chemotherapy. It's a starting point with an exciting future for effective, inexpensive, and less toxic cancer treatment.

X-IO Attracts New Board Members and Strategic Advisors Including Experienced Storage Veteran Bill Miller to Support Its Focused Growth Strategy
Bill Miller , the Legg Mason fund manager who beat the S&P 500 for 15 years straight before seeing his fund massacred by the financial crisis, is proving you can't keep a good manager down, says Wall Street Journal.
After a big bounce in 2009, Bill Miller's Capital Management Value Trust is behind again.
Longtime manager will remain as Legg Mason Capital Management's chairman.
The second quarter saw the market decisively break from the devastating collapse that began following the failure of Lehman Brothers last September and which appears to have ended on March 6th at an intraday low of 666 on the S&P 500¹. The S&P rose 15.93% in the quarter, and ended the first half up ...
Also, Bill Miller draws up plans for a go-anywhere income fund, Ken Feinberg to retire from Davis Funds at the end of the year, Perritt Capital plans a new fund, and a goodbye to Abe Briloff.

A few weeks ago I got some UV pastuerized cider from the local orchard. Then I stopped over the local brew store and got some other chemicals like pectic enzyme, acid blend powder, tanin powder, red star champagne yeast, and so forth. I also got a recipe from the store but I forgot to buy a hydrometer.
I put the cider in my carbouy and added the campden tablets. 2 days later I added some of the other ingredients including the yeast but did not add sugar (the recipe said the sugar was optional unless SG was under 1.06). Since I forgot to buy a hydrometer and figured that the cider was pretty darn sweet, I said, what the heck, let it ferment.
After 5 days (recipe recommended SG around 1.020) I racked it into a secondary fermenter (bucket) per the recipe. Well now its day 9 (day 4 in second fermenter) and no bubbles are appearing in the airlock. I've made beer (from a tested recipe) before and it usually continues to make bubbles.
The question is: Did I just waste 5 gallons of nice apple cider? should I be worried about no bubbles? Should I add sugar? What should I do? Let it continue as is? I want the finished product to be at least 6% ABV.
Please help if you can!
I'd appreciate any response or feel free to call me, 412-401-1477.
I'm going to buy a hydrometer tomorrow morning to see where my SG is at.
Much thanks,
Did the cider have it's neutritional info on the label? Probalby not as it is probably a small place, not a distributed on. It will be fine. Maybe a little low in ABV, and probably dry - to have it finish sweet, you need to start with massive amounts of sugar.
You can make it sweet now, but you have to first kill the yeast. And how does it taste? And you need the hydrometer, there is no other way to really test it. Well maybe taste test, but that doesn't tell you as much as a hydrometer.
If you add sugar now, you will probably kick of a fermentation again. It probably won't to adversly affect anything. But really test it first. Commerical apple juice (not cider) has a OG around 1.045 The cider should start I'd guess there or higher. So if your hydrometer shows it at like a 1.010 or more likely a .995, then your ferment is done, although aging might be needed.
Hi ACbrewer,
Thanks for the response and advice.
The cider is from a small local farm, about an hour out of town. The cider was very sweet tasting (sweeter than what I remembered) but had a lot of apple characteristics but not like commercial apple juice.
So if I want to make it have a higher ABV and have it not be so dry, I would have to add sugar now? How should I kill the yeast? Add Campden crushed tablets? Wait a day, then pitch yeast and sugar? To what level of SG should I add sugar?
I've had a similar issue with my last batch and so I was "back to the boards" looking for advice for pitching new yeast into a secondary or just letting it sit for several weeks, etc.
For now, mine is in my glass carboy waiting for a week or two - I will revisit it then.
Definitely get the hydrometer.
5 Days in primary doesn't seem like enough time to me, though.
I wouldn't throw it out - - search on here for advice about pitching a second time. As long as it doesn't taste bad or have bad characteristics it should be workable.
I'll post links to anything I find. Good luck.
Jamie B.
On deck: More Cider - new yeasts
Primary: Nothing!!
Secondary: Nothing!!
Drinking: Lots of stuff, but not as much as I would like :)
Kap - Today get a hydrometer. Also after you read what I have to say, you could get a few other things.
If you go back by where you bought the cider, you coudl get some more and test that. While the given pressing will have it's sugar level, other pressings they've done should be similar, and you could test that to have an idea of what the start was for your cider.
If you want a higher ABV, you can add sugar(table, brown, honey, corn, frozen apple concentrate, etc). depending on your yeast strain, this can be quite a lot of sugar to add. Typically for the yeast you use I think it's alcohol tollerance is 16%. Assuming 5 gallons of liquid, with an OG of 1.040, (probably 1.050+ is more likely) and you want to leave it at 1.010 or more for sweet, you will need to add a lot of sugar... I think about 9 or 10 lb of table or brown sugar. Much more of honey. This would take the assumed OG up to about 1.130 - which would probably still
If you are happy with an ABV around 7 or 8, then I recommend doing this instead (heck I recomned this anyhow). Others have said - and I beleive them - that it is nearly impossible to stop fermentation.
1 Let it run out of sugars (SG of about .995 to .990). Get some Campden tablets and some Potasium Sorbate (a preservative). These two items will inhibit yeast growth, but not kill all the yeast that is there.
2 IF you can put your carboy in a fridge, or somewhere aroudn 30-40F to help the yeast go dormant and help it drop. If you can't don't worry about it.
3 Rack into a sanatized container, and put in the tablets and sorbate as per instructions.
4 Add sugar to taste, take and OG and let sit for a couple more weeks taste and take the gravity again.
The down side of doing this is that you kill or dormatize your yeast which means you can't do carbonation unless you can force carb.
Pretty much your choices are 1 sweet and still or 2 carbed and not sweet. Trying to do natural carb with sweet is an invitation to bottle bombs. Even PET bottles(plastic) even cold, Sweet and natural carb is still a risk for bombs.
I'd missed before that it is 5 days. - With cider (and wines) that is probably not enough to be finished, but it could be.
Your shopping list to do what I've mentioned here.
1. Hydrometer.
2. a contact sanatizer (idaphor or star san or equivlent. - one step and such are nice but take 10 mins or rinsing or something). Along with that at a lowes/Home depot get a spray bottle.
3. Campden - you said you had and Potasium Sorbate (a decent lhbs with wines will have this)
(I'm seeing Red Star Champagin yeast only goes 13 to 15% so each lb of sugar in a 5 gallon batch will give you about 1% ABV - thus you can drop it to probably 7lb)
Thanks ACBrewer! This is sound advice and I can't thank you enough.
Right where to begin.
SG is specific gravity and then OG and FG is Original Gravity and Final Gravity, which are both specific gravities, just one at the beginning (original) and end (final).
Ok, you can control your ABV by adding more sugar. The question is do you want to. Of course without an Original Gravity it would be hard to figure out the ABV.
Now some math - sugar in the must (wine) or wort (beer) can be measured either in terms of SG, or in terms of Points, points are effectivly the SG, but normalized by the total volume. So 1 gallon with a 1.040 would be 40 points. a 5 gallon with 1.040 would be a 200 points. Why is this important? Because if you have something with 200 points and add a pound of sugar -45 points - you have245 points in your must. 245/5 gallons =49 or and anticipated 1.049. Anyhow knowing this makes it easier to figure mixing and such.
Like 2 gallons of apple cider at 1.040 SG would be 80 points, and then adding 3 lb of sugar and 3 more gallons of water - 215 points in 5 gallons - or 1.043 SG (215/5). Anyhow to answer 2. that is what I was musing on. I should have tightened up my writing-or look to write tech manuals.
#3-7 Look up Cold Crashing - It is usually a few days at cold temp, but the key there is to bring the temp down as quickly/safely as possible. You aren't worried about killing yeast, in fact that is part of the goal. The only thing I'd be worried about is to rapidly cooling a glass carboy and having it break.
You will need to rack again after cold crashing. I'd personally cold crash, and rack on to my chemicals - campden and sorbate. Sorbate will be in about the same size as the campden. The use of sorbate is like 1tsp per gallon, or plenty in the bottle for a 5 gallon batch. There are directions on the bottle.
#6 and 7 bring back the 'how much ABV do you want'... More than 6% and you probably have that with your cider, although adding 2 or 3 pounds will certianly do it. If you want to limit it to 7%, then you have a bit of dificulty because you don't know the OG.
Anyhow assuming a Start OG of 1.040 from the cider and you want to max out the yeast (at 15%) and have residual sweet cider -min of 1.010 FG, possibly higher. This means 15%*8=120+10=130 so creating an OG of 1.130 your start (I'm guessing) was 1.040 so that leaves again of 90. Sugar is 45 points per gallon pound, or isit pound gallon. Basically 1 pound of sugar adds 45 gravity points in 1 gallon. So 45/5=9 points in 5gallons. 90/9=10lb ..... (more math out loud).
Since your Gravity is now lower than 1.040, adding 10 lb should move it up +.090 when you put it in. You could do either disolving in water- although then you need more fermentor space, or such. More likely just add it, and stir gently. Heck with that, you'd be doubling or trippling the sugars, so a bit of oxygenation is not out of the ordinary.
#9 - Add sugar and let it go first. then cold crash. then sorbate and campden, then back sweeting (ifneeded) then bottle.
#10 I'm not sure what the pros do. There are several options. One used by BMC (Bud, Miller,Coors) is to pasturize beer to kill the yeast -like 120 or 130F, they also force carb. Woodchuck might use asimilar force carb and pasturization. Since consistancy is important, killing the bio's is also important.
#11 and 12 - right so sparkling and sweet -I don't know if stevia ferments, that would be a question. Also there other things to sweeten with that don't - lactose (gives milky/creamy flavor) or splenda.
Assuming you just wanted some carbonation (and you carbed beer before) about 4 oz of table sugar. maybe 5 oz.
So first question back to you is what is your target? ABV like? or perhaps commerical like?
Thank you again so much for your continued advice, ACbrewer. Kudos. It's now friday night and still not hydrometer in hand. Got home from work too late unfortunately. Tomorrow morning I will have the time and its saturday anyways.
I suppose I'm interested in 7-8, maybe even 9% ABV. Not sure how good 9% tastes - I've never had it that high. I guess I nice higher ABV than typical would be nice, so 7-8%.
Thanks for the explanation on SG, OG, FG - I figured it was some kind of contraction of the abbreviation. Your explanation on the math is great too. I took a mechanical engineering fluid mechanics class once and spend several weeks doing nothing but SG calculations calculating static physical properties - so this brings back memories. Actually I had SG in several classes.
Anyways, I will do as you say and let you know how it goes.
Stay posted!!
Glad to help. So the question really is now what was your OG. and that is going to be impossible in this situation. A gravity reading from the similar cider isprobably the best you can do, and wing it from there. if your SG is now about .995 or so, then what ever sugar (from the apples) you have is probably been consume.
Just got home from buying a hydrometer and some more cider. The brew supply store, Northern Brewing, was awesome. It was my first time in a large brew supply store. WOW, its was a nice place.
Anyways... I measured the raw cider's SG and found it to be 1.047. I'm willing to take the risk and assume the OG is 1.047.
Since we don't want bombs and my wife wants it bubbly, I did some calculations and it seems that I want to add about 2.5 lb of sugar total to arrive at 9% PA.
I think I'll add about 2 lb of sugar tomorrow and after that goes still, I will add another 1/2 lb before bottling. What do you think?
I will let you know what the current SG is (before adding sugar) tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the tips.
