Darkness looms over us 3
In the picture above, an IS member unsheathes his sword as he prepares to behead an ancient Babylonian statue. His sheath is the Koran and the sword is covered with verses from the Koran. The caption states: "With this sword is civilization and humanity slaughtered."
We quote Raymond Ibrahim, above and below:
The Daily Mail reports:
Islamic State thugs have destroyed a collection of priceless statues and sculptures in Iraq dating back thousands of years.
Extremists used sledgehammers and power drills to smash ancient artwork as they rampaged through a museum in the northern city of Mosul.
Video footage shows a group of bearded men in the Nineveh Museum using tools to wreck 3,000-year-old statues after pushing them over.
Extremists used sledgehammers and power drills to smash ancient artifacts at a museum in the northern city of Mosul
Militant uses a power tool to destroy a winged-bull Assyrian protective deity at the Ninevah Museum in Mosul, Iraq. The statue dates back to the 9th century B.C.
A man shown in the video said the items were being destroyed because they promoted idolatry.
"The Prophet ordered us to get rid of statues and relics, and his companions did the same when they conquered countries after him," the unidentified man said.
The articles destroyed appeared to come from an antiquities museum in the northern city of Mosul, which was overrun by Islamic State last June, a former employee at the museum told Reuters.
The extremist group has destroyed a number of shrines – including Muslim holy sites – in a bid to eliminate what it views as heresy.
Militants are also believed to have sold ancient artwork on the black market in order to finance their bloody campaign across the region.
ISIS destroy artifacts with sledgehammers at Mosul museum
Yesterday it was revealed how terrorists had blown up the Mosul Public Library, sending 10,000 books and more than 700 rare manuscripts up in flames.
Leading members of Mosul society reportedly tried to stop the fanatics destroying the building, but failed.
The director of the library, Ghanim al-Ta'an, said that the extremists used homemade bombs in the attack, which took place on Sunday.
He told Middle Eastern website Geran: "ISIS militants bombed the Mosul Public Library. They used improvised explosive devices."
Presumed destroyed are the Central Library's collection of Iraqi newspapers dating to the early 20th century, maps and books from the Ottoman Empire and book collections contributed by around 100 of Mosul's establishment families.

Isis first invaded the Central Library in January. Residents say the extremists smashed the locks that had protected the biggest repository of learning in the northern Iraq town, and loaded around 2,000 books – including children's stories, poetry, philosophy and tomes on sports, health, culture and science – into six pickup trucks. They left only Islamic texts.
"These books promote infidelity and call for disobeying Allah. So they will be burned," a bearded militant in traditional Afghani two-piece clothing told residents, according to one man living nearby who spoke to The Associated Press.
The enlightened West is doing nothing to stop them.

An atheist threatens world peace 13
What a gift to Muslim organizations in America which like to pretend that Muslims are victims of "Islamopobia": three young Muslims shot dead by a thug of a neighbor in dispute with them over a parking space!
To spice up the claim that the vicious killing was a "hate crime", the thug is reported to be an atheist. Now watch out for politicians, media, and the loudmouths of various religions claiming that atheists are murderous radicals, as bad and dangerous as ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram.
Reuters reports:
A gunman who had posted anti-religious messages on Facebook and quarreled with neighbors was charged with killing three young Muslims in what police said on Wednesday was a dispute over parking and possibly a hate crime.
Notice that the very first piece of information Reuter supplies is that he "posted anti-religious messages on Facebook" – even though they have also to report a little later that that has nothing to do with the crime.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, a full-time paralegal student from Chapel Hill, was charged with first-degree murder in Tuesday's shootings around 5 p.m. two miles from the University of North Carolina campus.
The victims were newlyweds Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, a University of North Carolina dental student, and his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and Yusor's sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19. …
The suspect, in handcuffs and orange jail garb, appeared briefly on Wednesday before a Durham County judge who ordered him held without bail pending a March 4 probable cause hearing.
Police said a preliminary investigation showed the motive to be a parking dispute. They said Hicks, who has no criminal history in Chapel Hill, turned himself in and was cooperating.
But for Islamic propagandists that wouldn't do at all. At last they have an incident that, properly spun, will prove what they've been saying for years – America is cruelly "Islamophobic".
The killings drew international condemnation. The shooting sparked the hashtag #MuslimLivesMatter on social media with many posters assailing what they called a lack of news coverage. …
Muslim activists demanded authorities investigate a possible motive of religious hatred.
And at once the police did their dhimmi duty:
"We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case," Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue said in a statement.
So far, the leads seem to point another way:
The killings occurred in a condominium complex in a wooded area filled with two-story buildings. Neighbors said parking spaces were often a point of contention.
"I have seen and heard (Hicks) be very unfriendly to a lot of people in this community," said Samantha Maness, 25, a community college student. But she said she had never seen him show animosity along religious lines.
But there are those Facebook entries for the "hate-crime" advocates to pin their hopes on.
On Facebook, Hicks' profile picture reads "Atheists for Equality" and he frequently posted quotes critical of religion. On Jan. 20 he posted a photo of a .38-caliber revolver that he said was loaded and belonged to him.
Hicks' wife, Karen Hicks, told reporters at a news conference that her husband had been locked in a longstanding dispute over parking and the killings had nothing to do with religion. She said Hicks was not hateful and believed "everyone is equal".
Nevertheless, the sad event must be milked for all the propaganda value it can yield:
Barakat's family urged the shooting be investigated as a hate crime and said the three were killed with shots to the head.
And at a candlelight vigil held for the dead at UNC, attended by "hundreds of people" –
University and city leaders urged inclusiveness during a time of unease, while a brother of one of the victims called for nonviolence.
The implication being that violence could break out at any moment: whether against Muslims or against non-Muslims, we do not learn from the report.
The prosecution, it seems, will stick to its findings:
The incident appeared to be isolated and not part of a targeted campaign against North Carolina Muslims, Ripley Rand, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, told a news conference with local police officials. …
And the Islamic propagandists will stick to their wishes:
Groups including the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the local Raleigh-based Muslims for Social Justice called for a federal investigation into possible hate crimes.
"I hope this terrible tragedy will be a turning point that brings the reality home that if we keep demonizing Muslims and equating their religion to terrorism, it will lead to more attacks," said Manzoor Cheema, co-founder of Muslims for Social Justice.
It's bad enough that three young people have been killed, but not bad enough for Reuters. They present the victims as extra good - while also keeping the idea of political-religious martyrdom before their readers:
"Today, we are crying tears of unimaginable pain over the execution-style murders," Barakat's older sister Suzanne told reporters.
She said her brother was light-hearted and loved basketball.
All were involved in humanitarian aid programs.
Barakat, an American citizen of Syrian origin, wrote in his last Facebook post about providing free dental supplies and food to homeless people in downtown Durham. He was raising funds for a trip to Turkey with 10 other dentists to provide free fillings, root canals and oral hygiene instruction to Syrian refugee children.
His sister-in-law, Abu-Salha, a sophomore at nearby North Carolina State University, was involved in making multimedia art to spread positive messages about being Muslim American.
Students at UNC said the three friends came from two of the most prominent Muslim families in the Raleigh area.
"Deah was a very proud Muslim American. He was proud of all his identities," said Sofia Dard, a 21-year-old senior psychology major. She said Muslims were used to occasional harassment in post-9/11 America, but the shooting "adds a whole level of seriousness".
Postscript: We may soon be in need of a word that suggests a psychopathic hatred of atheists that is permanently lodged in the minds of non-atheists. Suggestions are invited.
Post-Postscript: Turns out the murderer is a Leftie. Quoting Powerline:
You can see the liberal media's problem. Craig Hicks is, politically, a member of their team – a garden variety, cookie cutter, Obama-voting, conservative-hating liberal. His Facebook page looks like most reporters' would, if they didn't have to worry about appearances. So, much as they might want to publicize a hate crime against Muslims – Islamophobia at last! – can they possibly admit that a dyed in the wool liberal like Hicks can be guilty of an anti-Muslim hate crime? I think that would be too much cognitive dissonance. My guess is that the Chapel Hill murders will fade away as a local news story arising out of a dispute over a parking space.
The lord of injustice 4
President Obama and New York Mayor de Blasio are guilty of encouraging lawless mobs in Ferguson and New York (see here and here). So they both have a share in the events leading up to the murder of two New York police officers, Winjian Liu and Raphael Ramos, last Saturday, December 20, 2014.
More deeply guilty of creating conditions in which those murders could happen, is the outgoing attorney general of the United States, Eric Holder, who has been working for racial injustice for years.
This is from PJ Media by J. Christian Adams:
Wickedness has darkened this season of lights in Brooklyn. It is no surprise or accident that a ghoul like Ismaaiyl Brinsley bathed himself in messages of hate, racial division and anger and then chose to destroy lives. But Brinsley wasn't alone in his racially soaked hatred of the police.
For starters, a mob has Brinsley's back. This seemingly disconnected mob has been on the prowl in the months since America learned of Ferguson, Missouri. They've smashed up windows of banks in Berkeley, burned up bakeries in Ferguson, and looted, burned, shot, robbed and killed across the nation. But such mobs are really never disconnected, are they?
When a mob led by Al Sharpton chants on the streets of New York City they want "dead cops," people should expect dead cops.
The clapping and laughing at the crime scene in Brooklyn as well as the happy-it-happened racialist venom on Twitter leave no doubt that the mob has Brinsley's back. …
The culture of the West has largely distinguished itself by elevating the dignity of the individual, by treating others as they wish to be treated.
But ideas alone aren't enough to turn back barbarians. Sir Winston Churchill understood that leaders must lead civilized people against barbarism. "Civilization will not last," he said at the University of Bristol in 1938, "freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe."
Without men in power and police on the streets who share these values, history trends toward barbarism.
All of which brings us to Eric Holder and his swarm of lawyers at the Justice Department. Holder, rather than opposing the lawless, says things to make the mob's fury seem more justified.
Holder went to Ferguson and complained that the police even treated him in a racially unfair manner. His stories are always thin on detail and merit closer media scrutiny. …
After visiting Ferguson, Holder sent swarms of federal officials into town and made it clear the federal government was on the side of the protesters. The "constabulary powers" which Churchill spoke of had crossed over.
For those who haven't paid attention to Holder's anti-police policies, now is a good time to start paying attention. And it isn't just Holder. He's hired swarms of other lawyers and put them in important positions where their anti-police attitudes have become federal government policy.
Hans von Spakovsky covered the rabidly leftist backgrounds of the lawyers hired by Holder who police the police. For example, Christy Lopez was hired as a deputy chief of the section. Prior to working at DOJ, Lopez helped an illegal alien support group called Casa de Maryland teach aliens how to avoid speaking with police officers. Even worse, von Spakovsky notes:
On her resume, Ms. Lopez proudly references the paper she authored for the liberal American Constitution Society, entitled The Problem with "Contempt of Cop" Arrests. She also highlights the presentation she gave on "Flying While Brown" at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee's annual convention. She has made numerous media appearances alleging post 9/11 ethnic profiling. She is also a founding partner of "Independent Assessment and Monitoring," which provided oversight of police departments and prisons.
Lopez had the perfect qualifications to work for Eric Holder. She was a crusader against cops. … [And] Lopez isn't alone.
Every single one of her coworkers hired by Holder is a radical leftist, more often taking the side of the lawless than the law-abiding citizen. The professional background of attorney after attorney in Holder's Special Litigation Section reads like a farce. They've worked for Islamic terrorists, black nationalist groups and even an organization called the Junta for Progressive Action. …
These lawyers are not fans of "constabulary powers." You cannot fully understand what the Justice Department's policies are toward police officers without understanding the outlandish personal and professional backgrounds of the lawyers enforcing those policies.
To oversee these dozens of new radical lawyers, President Obama appointed a radical's radical to lead them — Debo Adegbile. Adegbile was Obama's nominee to head the Civil Rights Division at Justice. Adegbile's anti-police history is what eventually sunk his nomination.
In response, Obama and Holder have tapped Vanita Gupta to run the Civil Rights Division as acting assistant attorney general, and eventual nominee. Gupta is no different than Adegbile … [She] came from the ACLU, where she spent most of her time waging a war against the police. …
After filling government jobs with anti-police radicals, Holder's Justice Department got busy attacking police departments and law enforcement across the United States. Actions against police departments have been launched in Seattle, Portland, Cleveland, Albuquerque, New Orleans, Miami, and, naturally, New York City.
In Ferguson, Holder even leveraged federal power to agitate against police officers wearing bracelets of solidarity with Officer Darren Wilson. In a letter signed by Christy Lopez of the Special Litigation Section, the Justice Department says such bracelets "upset and agitated people."
The mob was offended, and thus Holder acted. Holder used his power to attack "constabulary powers," over jewelry.
To "train" police officers how to behave, Holder's Justice Department has hired an outfit which has been affiliated with Angela Davis. That would be the same Angela Davis who was a Black Panther radical. That's the same Angela Davis who went on trial for the murder of a judge presiding over another murder trial of race radicals who killed a prison guard. Davis is still a racially venomous anti-police radical. That Holder's DOJ goes within a country mile of her is a disgrace.
Holder's lawyers aren't beyond using lies, deceit and illegal conduct to frame cops either. Take the Justice Department's prosecution of New Orleans police officers on civil rights charges. In that trial, Justice Department lawyers illegally and unethically set up fake blogging accounts. The DOJ lawyers ran a sock-puppet campaign against the cops on trial by posting comments to newspapers. They commented on evidence and attacked witnesses helpful to the police.
[You must] know who Karla Dobinski is … to understand Holder's tolerance of any means necessary to convict cops.
Dobinski was one of the lawyer puppeteers in the campaign against cops. Federal Judge Kurt Engelhardt called the DOJ misconduct "grotesque" in a 129-page order that must be read to fully understand the anti-cop rot inside Holder's Justice Department.
But Dobinski acted even more unethically than her fellow DOJ sock puppets. … It was Dobinski's job to guard against any information obtained in the internal affairs investigation conducted by the New Orleans Police Department from being used against the police on trial. Dobinski's job was to protect the rights of the defendant cops. Instead, [she] joined in the anonymous DOJ campaign posting [hostile] comments about the cops at newspaper sites.
When national and local government encourages violence against the very enforcers of law and order that it employs to carry out its prime duty of protecting the life, person and property of every individual, government is betraying the people. Obama, de Blasio and Holder can best be likened to generals who encourage the enemy to attack the troops they command, in hope of the enemy's victory.
When looting, burning mobs, screaming for "dead cops", are not only exonerated but actively encouraged by the President, the Mayor of New York, and the head of the Department of Justice, the country has descended into anarchy. First anarchy and then tyranny is what happens whenever and wherever the far Left acquires unconstrained power.
Is it too late to restore the free republic of America that the Founders tried to establish forever on the rock of the Constitution?
Government against its own forces of law and order – a taste of anarchy 4
From our Facebook page:
When the President of the United States, the Attorney General, and the Mayor of New York all line up with the criminals of Ferguson and New York against the police, what should we expect but the murder of policemen?
In Brooklyn, an "anti-police activist" walked up to a police car and shot two policemen who were sitting inside it. One was pronounced dead at the scene while the second died shortly after at a hospital. The gunman ran to a nearby subway station, pursued by other policemen, where he shot himself. Many, many liberals celebrated on Twitter. The murderer has been identified as Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, a Muslim, and a gang member from Baltimore. On Instagram, he announced his intention to murder two policemen in retaliation for the death of Eric Garner. Many of the anti-police demonstrations have explicitly called for policemen to be murdered. Marchers in New York last week chanted, "What do we want? Dead cops!" Today they got them.

The French pandemonium 4
Today we post under Pages (listed at the top of our margin) the next essay in the series by Jillian Becker titled The Darkness of This World (Part Two).
The title of the new essay is The French Pandemonium (One).
It continues a discussion of the Romantic movement which – the series argues – arises from the same need in the human psyche that requires religion. In France, the most influential poets, novelists, essayists and philosophers have been those who have cultivated rebellion against what they call "bourgeois society". Some of the most eminent of them bluntly declare that their rebellion is a choice of Evil.
Of course not all the French writers of the post-Enlightenment centuries have been Romantics or conscious advocates of Evil. But those who "chose Evil" stoked the fires of destructive rebellion in generations of European intellectuals and have had by far the greater effect on history. In the twentieth century they became so popular and powerful that they helped create the New Left; incited seasons of violent protest demonstrations on city streets throughout Europe and even on other continents; inspired the formation of European terrorist gangs; and implanted their anti-civilization ideology as a new dogma in schools and academies throughout the Western world, including America. As the series continues it will explain how the anti-Americanism of the Left, even in America itself, springs from the European intellectual movement against our civilization.
Here is the first part of the essay:
A pandemonium is a gathering of all the demons or devils. Devils are expected to be noisy, so the word has come to mean a deafening cacophony of shrieking voices.
What the voices of this pandemonium clamor for, is "Evil". It is not an insult to call them demons; it is an acknowledgment of their choice. They choose Evil, they call for Evil, they acclaim Evil, they are for Evil.
And what are they against? They are against What Is. They are against our civilization. They are against the bourgeois, whom they hold responsible for everything that's wrong with our civilization: free enterprise industrialization; liberal democracy; parliamentarianism; conservatism.
It was in France that the clamor was loudest among certain poets and novelists and philosophers to épater le bourgeois – shock the bourgeois – in the nineteenth century, reaching a crescendo between the world wars of the twentieth century, rising again after the end of the second. A racket of foaming hate; a literary hue and cry after the middle-class citizen.
As you may have noticed, the bourgeoisie is, in fact, the all-achieving class. Almost everything of value since the Enlightenment, including the Enlightenment itself, has issued from the middle-class; every invention, every discovery, every advance, with so few exceptions they can be counted on a few of your fingers. But to the demons of poetry and philosophy and revolution, the bourgeois was everything that was wrong with Life: the bourgeois with his politesse, his prudence, his order and cleanliness, his comfortable house, his good-quality clothes, his well-stocked larder, his prosperity, his faithfulness to duty, his thrifty habits … "No, no," the scornful voices yell, interrupting me. "Its not just that, it's … it's … it's his complacency, his bad taste, his narrow-mindedness, his privilege, his exploitation of underdogs, his obsession with material things – and his stupid sexual inhibition. Those, don't you see, are the unbearable traits that make him a worthy target of our artistic fury. He does not, cannot feel as we do. Down with him! Grind him into the dust! "
But it is the againstness itself that characterizes the demons. If every one of those despicable things about the bourgeois were overcome or destroyed (as every one of them was in Communist Russia), and civilization wholly laid to waste, the urge would rage on, its hunger unappeased, hunting its everlasting prey: What Is. To them, as to the Gnostics of old, everything that is here is bad; the good lies beyond.
Whatever words have been used to describe the Paris fashions in scorn – modernism, post-modernism, structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction – they are all expressions of rebellion. To be a rebel is to be heroic. Despised and rejected by the bourgeois herd, the rebel is a martyr to his deep passion for art, his higher vision of a better world.
To protest against the bourgeois idea of what is good, the demons advocated doing whatever the bourgeois considered evil. They placed themselves in a French counter-tradition, a line that runs from Rousseau with his belief in the primacy of feeling and sentiment, through Robespierre with his Terror, the Marquis de Sade with his penchant for sexual torture, the nineteenth century poets Charles Baudelaire with his Flowers of Evil and Arthur Rimbaud with his Season in Hell, and on through the intellectual trend-setters – whom we will come to – of twentieth century French literature and their continuing effects. There are still reigning French demons in the twenty-first century. It is a dynasty of the defiant. …

The sheriff's tale 7

A bed of dust and soil 5
Islam punishes the crime of being raped with death.
This picture and the text are from the Clarion Project.
A 10-year girl in Afghanistan is in danger of being honor-killed by her family after being violently raped by a mullah in a local mosque after her Quran class. After the family openly talked about killing the girl, the mullah offered to marry her, claiming to the authorities that he thought the girl was 17 and that the sex was consensual.
After nearly dying from her injuries sustained during the rape due to a delay in medical care, "Women for Afghan Women", a shelter for battered women and children, arranged for the girl to be taken to a hospital. Her injuries included a severing of the wall between her vagina and rectum that caused hemorrhaging.
After her recovery, she was taken to a women's shelter to protect her from her family.
Pictures taken of the girl to document the case show a small, pre-pubescent child whose weight at the time was about 40 pounds (about 18 kilos), according to the doctor.
Last week, the police were given orders to return the girl to her family, despite the fact that she will most likely be killed. Tuesday, the police entered the shelter and took the girl.
"I went to the hospital when they brought her there. I was sitting next to her bed when I overheard her mother and aunt saying that her father was under tremendous pressure by the villagers to kill the girl because she had brought shame to them," said Nederah Geyah, who is the head of the women's affairs office in Kunduz, Afghanistan.
Yes, there is, or has been, a "women's affairs office" in Kunduz.
Honor killings of girls who have been raped are common in Afghanistan, as family members believe that the raped girl brings shame to the family. Moreover, a girl who has been raped is considered not fit to be married and therefore must be supported by her family.
Dr. Hassina Sarwari, who is head of the shelter and a pediatrician, said when she arrived at the hospital to take the girl to the shelter, she encounter a large group of elders from the girl's village. The group included male members of the girl's family – her father, her brothers and an uncle.
Once inside, she met the girl's aunt, who told the doctor she had been told by her husband to smuggle the girl out of the hospital and deposit her into the hands of the family outside.
"She said they wanted to take her and kill her, and dump her in the river," Dr. Sarwari said.
The doctor made her way to the girl's room, where she found the girl and her mother holding hands and crying.
Did the mother wish to save her daughter? Not at all.
Dr. Sarwari remembers the mother's words: "My daughter, may dust and soil protect you now," she said. "We will make you a bed of dust and soil. We will send you to the cemetery where you will be safe."
With the help of Geyah, the girl was rescued from her family and placed in the shelter. Geyah also helped initiate legal proceedings against the mullah.
But that "women's affairs office" is not very powerful or even effective.
After publicizing the case, both women[ Sarwari and Geyah] were threatened with death by the mullahs as well as the girl's family.
A militia commander demanded that the doctor return the girl to her family or face the consequences.
At one point, Dr. Sarwari was forced to go into hiding. Geyah has since resigned her job and moved to a different part of the country. Dr. Sarwari has said she wants to leave the country altogether. …
Locals … are angry at the shelter – not at the mullahs or the family. The shelter, which is one of seven in Afghanistan, is perceived as a tool of the Americans to destroy traditional Afghani culture.
The traditional culture, which Afghan men want at all costs to preserve, includes the brutal raping and consequent killing of ten-year-old girls.
The shelter has been receiving American aid, but the funding will stop when the last of the Americans leave. The seven shelters for women and girls in Afghanistan will have to close. Then there will be nothing to impede traditional Islamic Afghan culture from doing its worst.
UN watch 4
July 23, 2014. The United Nations holds an emergency session on the battle in Gaza as the Israeli Defense Force destroys the invasion-tunnels and rocket bases of the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas.
Delegates from countries that specialize in mass murder, such as Sudan, Syria, Cuba, and Iran, accuse Israel of "war crimes". Most of the rest of the world's delegates are on the terrorists' side too.
A lone voice defends Israel, and accuses its accusers. It is the voice of Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
The United Nations must be destroyed.
For the glory of Allah: slavery, massacre, torture, organ theft 1
These pictures and the text are from The Muslim Issue.
We have written the captions, basing them on the author's and adding some information. Further comment would be superfluous.
The author of the text is an anonymous Ethiopian. He writes:
There are more than 100,000 known black Sudanese slaves under the Arabized Islamic Sudanese government, and the government encourages this by arming the Arab militias to ride on black villages. To the extent that these villages defend themselves, the government sends airplanes to bomb them. Thousands have died at the hands of the army of Sudan, and this is not good enough to cause demonstrations for the black community. Shame shame!!!!
The black Darfur people of Sudan had traditionally been Animist until the late 1800s, but since then have been under heavy pressure from the Islamic sword to convert, and they have complied. This is not enough for the barbarians, and to this day the Arab tribes have been riding them like cattle for slaves, and the Islamic government of Sudan has committed crimes against humanity. There are more than 2 million people displaced and half a million dead as a result of these barbaric acts. Up to this minute, many are dying at the hands of the government and its Arab militias, yet where are the demonstrations to protest against these barbaric acts? Shame shame!!!
Human trafficking in Sinai Egypt/Sudan:
Since 2009 up to this minute, the barbaric Arabs have kidnapped thousands of Eritreans and Ethiopians from the borders between Eritrea and Sudan and Ethiopia and Sudan. These barbaric Arabs from Sudan and Egypt, and their latest customers, the smugglers of weapons for Hamas in the Sinai, have tortured Eritreans and Ethiopians for ransom in the Sinai Peninsula, subjecting them to rape, burning, and mutilation. …
Thousands have died, and thousand are still in captive. Where are Human Rights Watch, the UN, the black empowering institutions, the black Muslims, and the moderate Arab Muslims protesting these barbaric acts? There is no such protest. It is in their holy book: a non-Muslim deserves nothing …
These are pictures of a massacre: the aftermath of an air bombardment of civilians by the Sudanese Islamic government in May 2014
And these are pictures of human trafficking victims taken after they were dropped over the Sinai border into Israel. One has been ripped open for the removal of organs, and then roughly stitched up again.

Latest Visceral leishmaniasis Stories
Company launches anti-fungal AmBisome® as one of the segment's first product offerings MUMBAI, India and PITTSBURGH, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan Inc.
Research involving scientists at the University of York has provided important new information about transmission of human leishmaniasis, a group of infectious diseases which kills more than 100,000 people a year.
A new way to test for the parasite which causes the fatal disease leishmaniasis could help control its spread to humans and stop dogs being needlessly killed in parts of South America.
Today, at a scientific meeting at Institut Pasteur, France, entitled 'Best Science for the Most Neglected: Where Do We Stand Ten Years On?', co-organized with Institut Pasteur and MSF and in collaboration with PLOS, the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) marks its 10-year anniversary by issuing a report that explores the lessons learned from a decade of research and development (R&D) of new treatments for neglected diseases via a cost-effective, innovative, not-for-profit drug...
The Amphotericin B (AmB) is the main active ingredient in the most effective drug used to treat leishmaniasis, a disease which in the Western world mainly affects dogs, but in developing countries affects over 12 million people, with more than 70,000 deaths per year.
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe chronic systemic disease caused by the protozoa (Leishmania infantum) in South America, the Mediterranean, southwest and central Asia.
Relapses after treatment for Leishmania infection may be due to a greater infectivity of the parasite rather than drug resistance, as has been previously thought.
A research coordinated by the UAB has succeeded in testing a vaccine against leishmaniasis.
Belgian scientists of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) in Antwerp, Belgium made a breakthrough in bridging high tech molecular biology research on microbial pathogens and the needs of the poorest of the poor.
Latest Visceral leishmaniasis Reference Libraries
Egyptian Mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) is found in Africa and Spain, quite commonly in Sudan. It has recently been discovered as being a reservoir host for Visceral Leishmaniasis in Sudan.

thanks for the advice. anyone?
I dropped Beal for Andre Miller this week. Should I drop Jack for Beal? Because Price get injured. Should I stash Rose? By drop Miller.
Can't say if you're a contender or not without seeing every other team in your league and seeing what the standings are right now AND then working out where you can make up ground on the current leaders.
If Derrick Rose is available in your league you could drop Jack and stash him. Of the FA's you mentioned only Drummond would be worth stashing.
Just from looking at your team you're success or lack thereof will largely depend on your big men. The onyk "stud" big men you have are Anderson and Lebron. I have Gortat in my league and he's been a disappointment the last week or so... Davis is injured, Pekovic, Mullens and McGee are inconsistent.
Long term you might be better off not even worrying about Rose and instead stash Drummond, dropping Jack. I don't think the Pistons can keep Drummond to 20-25 minutes per game all season. Eventually they surely have to let the kid play. Based on what we've seen thus far he'll be a good source of FG%, rebounds and blocks when he does get closer to 30 minutes per -
Sorry I was thinking of Beasley. I think your team looks pretty good in 12 team league.
Not a big fan of Beal's inconsistency. I'd maybe trade him for Miller.
Somewhat. Without looking at the other teams. your weak at pg and sf. You should be good on rebs & blks, but assist Lebron will carry the load. You don't have a true passer on your team. Your bigs are decent, but Gortat on the Suns is not working well without Nash. Keep an eye on him. Pekovic might be trade bait come soon. Seraphin is a sleeper, good pick up there. McGee will produce, but he is coming off the bench behind Mozgov remember that.

I dropped Beal for Andre Miller this week. My PGs: Lillard, Jennings, Andre Miller, Jack (Lebron for some help).
I dropped Beal for Andre Miller for adjustment. any weaknesses of my team now?
I am in 4th place now (only 6 team advance to PO). Should I stash Rose now? by drop Beal.

Sit. Stay. Play!Clearly, fashion is a family affair for the Bündchen-Brady clan.
Lua, the pit bull mix of football star Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen, costars with her dapper dad in his new marketing campaign for UGG Australia, and the dog is definitely bringing fashion forward in the cutest way possible.
In the video titled "Down Time," the third in the series, Lua plays fetch with the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback on a deserted beach. (Brady's parents, Tom and Galynn, starred in the previous installments.)

For Miranda Lambert, home is where her dogs are.
The singer is currently mother to six adorable pups – Waylon, Bellamy, Cher, Delta Dawn, Jessi and Black Betty – and counting.
"I have a little plaque in my house that says: 'There is always room for one more dog,' " she tells PEOPLE.
Lambert, 30, has been rescuing strays since she was a little girl, but it was her first shelter dog, Delilah, who inspired her to found the MuttNation Foundation.
"I started the foundation in 2009 along with my mom and two other board members, with the mission of raising funds to help dogs and shelters," she says.

Looks like there's a fairy tail ending after all for Dolly Parton's furry namesake, who was found alone in a tent at the Glastonbury Music Festival.
The pooch, nicknamed "Doggie Parton," is back in a fur-ever home – just not with Parton.
"In the last five minutes, we got a call from the main people with the government, and they told us that the true owners did come forward," Parton, 68, said in a virtual press conference on Thursday. "They had reported the dog missing. There was a language barrier; I think they were from another country. They got the dog back, and everyone feels good about it."

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Spain's Troubles Pushing Down Prices of These Three Spanish Stocks
Posted by: guruhl
(IP Logged)
Date: June 12, 2012 05:16PM
After years trying to fix its financial crisis, Spain's future is still uncertain. On June 9, the country's leaders agreed to accept from European finance ministers an emergency $125 billion bailout to shore up its banks and help stabilize its economy. Currently, the country has an unemployment rate of 24.3 percent, and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is aiming to cut the deficit to 5.3 percent of gross domestic product this year and 3 percent by the end of 2013. The European Commission estimates that the deficit will end the year with a deficit of 6.4 percent of GDP and 6.3 percent in 2013. Uncertainty has pushed Spanish stocks down to unusually low prices. According to GuruFocus' All-in-One Screener, the three largest U.S.-traded Spanish stocks are: Banco Santander (STD), Banco Bilbao (BBVA) and Telefonica (TEF). Banco Santander's stock price has declined 45.75 percent in the last year. It currently trades at about $6 per share, near its 52-week low of $5.19, and has a market cap of $54.6 billion and P/E ratio of 6.66. Fitch Ratings downgraded the bank's long-term issuer default ratings on Monday. It said that the bank owns a large portfolio of domestic sovereign debt and is highly exposed to domestic counterparties, making profitability and asset quality vulnerable to macroeconomic and market trends. But Banco Santander has diversification across international markets that helps stabilize it, with 56 percent of profit derived from high-growth emerging countries. It also had some positive developments in the first quarter. It earned a profit of 1.6 billion euro, 23.9 percent less than the previous year, due primarily to still high provisions in some units, higher minority interests in Brazil and Chile, a reduced stake in Santander USA and more taxes. Its non-performing loan ratio rose slightly to 3.98 percent, but was lower than the NPL ratio in Spain, which was 5.75 percent. Ken Fisher and David Dreman both added to their stakes in Banco Santander in the first quarter of 2012. Bruce Berkowitz sold out. Dreman listed Banco Santander as one of his worst performers in 2011, but said in his Forbes column in March, "Overall I stand by my 2011 calls. I am a contrarian value investor and not a timer, and it's not unusual for my picks to be 'early.'" Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentina SA (BBVA) ADR declined 40 percent in the last year and 24 percent year to date. Fitch Ratings also cut its rating for Banco Bilbao for the same reason as Banco Santander. The two banks are the largest lenders in Spain. Banco Balboa and Santander are two of only three banks that are well capitalized enough to meet loan loss provisions in 2012 and 2013 if that were required, according to S&P. Banco Bilbao is solvent after earnings over the first three months of 2012 enabled it to meet EBA capital recommendations prior to their June 30, 2012 deadline. In the first quarter it built a 9 percent core capital according to EBA criteria, 10.7 percent under Basel II. It did this without selling any strategic assets, resorting to public aid or modifying shareholder remuneration. The bank earned a profit of $1.3 billion in the first quarter, up from a net loss of $182 million in the previous quarter, and down from $1.6 billion in the year-ago quarter. Banco Bilbao's non-performing asset ratio ended the first quarter at 4%, differing across its different geographic segments. Non-performing assets were 16.1 billion euros at the end of the first quarter, compared to 15.9 billion euros at year-end 2011. The number went up due to the higher NPA ratio in Spain, exchanged rates and stricter regulatory framework in Mexico. David Dreman and Jim Simons are the only two gurus to hold Banco Bilbao stock, though Simons cut his stake by 93.5 percent in the first quarter. Telefonica (TEF) is the third-largest U.S.-traded Spanish stock by market cap, with a market cap of $57.4 billion. It trades for $12.31, off of its 52-week high of $24.82. The telecommunications company also has a dividend yield of 9.1 percent and P/E of 3.1. Its stock dropped 47 percent over the last year and 28 percent year to date. In order to reduce its debt, Telefonica agreed to sell a 4.56 percent stake in China Unicom (CHU) in June for $1.4 billion. It currently has $70 billion in debt and about $22.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet. After the sale, Telefonica will still have a 5.01 percent stake in China Unicom. The company's European has suffered due to the financial crisis. Overall revenue in the first quarter 2012 increased 0.5 percent, largely due to mobile termination rate cuts. While revenue in its Latinoamerica segment increased 8.3 percent, revenue in Telefonica Europe declined 6.6 percent. Overall net income dropped 53.9 percent from the year-ago quarter. Over the last decade, Telefonica has produced solid growth, raising revenue at a rate of 15.9 percent annually, EBITDA at 22.6 percent and book value at 9.6 percent. The company has also been generating cash flow over $10 billion for all but one year since 2004. David Dreman and Charles Brandes bought more shares of Telefonica in the first quarter, and Bruce Berkowitz and Ken Fisher both sold out their positions. Other gurus that hold Telefonica are: Brian Rogers, Mario Gabelli and Jim Simons, who sold some of his shares in the fourth quarter (or his computers did).

By Anthony C. from Falls Church, VA on Dec 31, 2010
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This light is good-looking, substantial-feeling, and well finished. It is everything that I had hoped it would be in the way of the Craftman-y style. A couple of comments for comment only. The lamp gives off a definite yellowish aura when using a regular soft-white bulb. I would have preferred a little whiter aura. Also, the instructions say to use an octagonal electrical box for mounting. I used the box that was already embedded in the brick wall (and not coming out anytime soon). My box was a standard rectangular (tall and skinny) box, and the light mounted just fine. My light was mounted in a protected outdoor location, so I didn't apply silicone around the electrical box opening. I would use silicone, however, if the light were getting rained or snowed on. Finally, there is a block of extremely annoying styrofoam protecting the socket of the lamp. I tried pulling it out,then cutting it out. I realized that the best way to remove the inner block of styro is to unscrew the two screws on the lid of the light. Otherwise, you're looking at a big mess. The styro disintegrates upon being touched or cut.
Overall, I'm very happy with this light. I intend to mount two more of them on the garage side of my house this Spring.

Pipeline Entrepreneurial Fellowship today announced that Sprint (NYSE:S) will join as a top-level corporate partner. As a part of Sprint's aggressive strategy to work with nationally significant entrepreneurial initiatives, Sprint and Pipeline will work together to enhance the corporate involvement in Pipeline and collaborate on additional entrepreneurial program offerings in Kansas City.
Since its founding in 2007, Pipeline has built an elite network of entrepreneurial leaders who work as one to face business challenges, funnel opportunities to their peers, and build market-leading technologies together. Pipeline is an "immersion experience" with the goal to link each of its entrepreneurs to a robust and powerful network of supporters, peers and advisers. In the process, Pipeline entrepreneurs recognize the power of the network and remain engaged as they start new companies, enter even higher growth issues, become investors, and continue as leaders in Pipeline – and in their communities.
"Pipeline is an engine of entrepreneurship for this entire region," said Kevin McGinnis, vice president of product platforms at Sprint. "Sprint is especially impressed that Pipeline's focus is on the entrepreneur, not the business – Pipeline is shaping entrepreneurs to be leaders. We couldn't be happier to be working side by side with Pipeline to grow this region together."
"Sprint approached Pipeline with 'entrepreneurial open minds', eager to learn how they can best assist and engage others in this work," said Joni Cobb, Pipeline president and CEO. "While we are certainly excited about the financial support, we are equally excited about working together on new initiatives we develop over time. Sprint is moving aggressively in the entrepreneurial space and it's exciting to be a true partner."
The Sprint partnership adds to Pipeline's growing list of regional and national partners who are backing Pipeline's unique fellowship approach to support high-growth entrepreneurs. Because of an expansion grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and matching funds from other organizations and individuals, Pipeline grew from a Kansas only program to a regional program assisting entrepreneurs from Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Oh, hello there. Remember me? Apologies the lack of posts, but the holiday season is a busy time, and a girl only has so many hours in the day. If it makes you feel better, I haven't even had time to watch the I'm busy…but I'm not complaining… As long as I have time to make adorable treats like this. Little boxed donuts? From the donut shop? I think not! I made these delectable little donuts for my family's Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago, and before I baked them, my mother was both perplexed and annoyed that I would want to serve donuts at our fancy holiday dinner. After she saw the finished product, she was literally eating her words…and drooling over my donuts. If you're thinking, I'm a little over-due for a Thanksgiving post, I've got great news: they make a lovely last-minutes Christmas/Hanukkah gift. You're welcome. Now let's talk donuts… Donuts in a Box When some people think of donuts, they think of Dunkin, Kripy Kreme or even the local coffee shop. But, not me. When I think of the donuts that I looked forward to the most on Donut Day in homeroom (yes we had donuts most Fridays at homeroom back in my Nebraska high school…I'm tellin' ya, it really is the good life ), I picture the predictable, yet always unbelievably tasty and perfect boxed Entenmann's Mini Donuts (and regular donuts). Doesn't get any better than this. Never under-estimate the power of mass produced baked goods. These little gems put an extra spark in my step every Friday morning back in the day. Over the years, I ate them less and less because I moved to cool cities like New York and Chicago, where there is a bakery on every corner. But, the very thought of a little donut out of those cute boxes brings a smile to my face. I'd try to recreate the recipe, but I have no idea where to begin to reach such levels of perfection. Nevertheless, in the spirit of homage to the boxed donuts from my high school days , I decided to whip up some mini donuts of my own and put em' in a holiday themed box. Guess what? I didn't even go semi-homemade this time around…these were from scratch! Yep, I went all out for the holidays with my homemade Mini Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts. Just when you thought you'd see in it all with the donut pan, I hit ya with the mini. Boom! muahahah the possibilities are endless. Once I "scheduled" my kitchen time around Brother Bear and Julie's busy cooking schedule , here's what the recipe looked like: Mini Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts (adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes ) Whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve or simply the Dog Days of Summer, these mini delights never go out of style. Whether served in a box or on a plate next to a big glass of milk, they're sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Ingredients: (Yields 24 – 30 mini donuts) For Donuts For Coating Wait until you see how it went down in the crowded kitchen. I felt like a "real baker" While Eric and Julie hustled around baking up a gourmet meal, I was in donut zen. El Chefs working hard. First, I whisked the wet and dry ingredients separately. Whisking away! Then, I mixed the dry and wet together. Like magic, my mini donuts were coming together! There were no mixing bowls left so I used tupperware. Bottom of the food chain. What can I say? Next, it was time to fill the donut pan…carefully (ish). Masterpiece in the making...batter all over the edges, Sometimes Healthy style. Once, out of the oven. The fun began. The dipping process. I went to town on the butter. Why not? It's the holidays! Ohhh yeah, here we go baby. Dip in butter, dip in cinnamon/sugar. "Sample" mini donut. Repeat. I wish I could bathe in butter, cinnamon and sugar too! I let em' dry for a little bit… The prettiest picture in the world! And then I boxed them and waited for the compliments to fly around. Oh and I heated up some dipping chocolate to kick it up a notch! Chocolate makes a great donut superb. All-in-all the donuts were a hit! Although we had quite the variety for dessert, I think everyone enjoyed the nostalgia of eating a donut out of a box! Plenty of desserts to go around...but the donuts stole the show! But, let's be honest, all I did was make some little ol' donuts. Eric and Julie did the real work with one of the best Thanksgiving meals I've ever eaten in my life. And this is only part of the action! So, there you have it…my Thanksgiving donuts, just in time for your Christmas meal! I swear, I planned it this way. And before I leave, a little congratulatory shout-out to my best friend Emily , who sent me an email today asking why I haven't blogged in a while. She and her husband found out today that they'll be having a baby girl in May! I wish I could bake these for you, Emmy! Congratulations to Emily and Nick! You most definitely will be the coolest parents on the playground! This post was for you . Oh and something sweet might be coming your way… Well, everyone, parting is such sweet sorrow, but I do hope that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I promise – I'll be back soon after I've closed out the year for work and enjoyed the holiday season. Merry Chrismukkah to all, and to all a good night! Be the first to like this post. |

RICK SMITH: Living the farming life
Blog shares the life of a local farming couple
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Most of us have no idea what a West Texas farmer's life is really like.
We live practically next door to endless crop fields but don't know the farmers, what they do, or how they live and work.
Suzie Wilde wants to change that.
The oldest daughter of a second-generation cotton ginner, Suzie was raised in Ackerly but lives in San Angelo with her farmer husband, Daniel Wilde.
He farms several hundred acres of his family's land in Runnels County and planted his 41st cotton crop this summer.
She has been a crop insurance agent for 20 years; opened her own agency, Oasis Crop Insurance; and has been married to her favorite farmer for seven years.
Between Suzie and Daniel, there's not much about farming the Wildes don't know.
She writes one of the best West Texas blogs I've found.
You can find it at KissedAFarmer.blogspot.com or facebook.com/KissedAFarmer. (She explains the title on her blog.)
I visited with Suzie and Daniel recently and received a quick schooling in everything from boll weevils and root rot to genetically modified organism technology.
Suzie gave me permission to share excerpts from her blog, and here are a few of her farm observations:
"There is a saying I have heard farmers repeat all my life: It's always too wet and it's always too dry."
"We don't need a lot of rain to grow cotton out here next to the largest desert in North America, we just need it to fall at the right times."
"We grow dryland cotton. I never realized that most of the world doesn't know what 'dryland' really means. We use no irrigation. The only water our cotton gets is from the sky. And being out in West Central Texas, just miles from the largest desert in North America, you can only guess that we get very little water from the sky."
"Producing cotton with less rainfall is one thing. Producing cotton with less rainfall, 10 percent humidity and 110-degree heat is quite another."
"'Why do it?' is the question I keep hearing. Why fight the desert to try and grow cotton out here where it can go for months without raining and months over 100 degrees? When the real answer appears, you will be the first to know. In the meantime, just know that I have learned by starting this social media journey that what we do out here is extraordinary."
"The supply of food and fiber are a vital part of our national security. The natural disasters of the past two years have brought our food and fiber supply under attack, reinforcing the need for a strong, stable and affordable safety net with crop insurance serving as its backbone."
"March 19th is National Agriculture Day. Not only should we recognize the day, we should have a BIG parade to celebrate those who produce the food we eat, the fiber we wear and the fuel we burn. San Angelo is an agriculture town. In fact, at one point in time we were the wool and mohair capital of the world. Shouldn't we block off the River Drive for trailers full of sheep and goats? Shouldn't we invite all the farmers to drive their tractors through the middle of downtown while we line the streets to cheer for them?"
"For harvest season, I left my office each day at noon to go run the boll buggy for (Daniel). So why would I go to work early to get my office work done, then drive 40 miles to the dusty, noisy, bumpy, late night job of cotton harvesting? Because harvest season is the best time of the year. It means we actually beat the Chihuahuan Desert and produced cotton!"
"I can pack a pretty tight (cotton) module if I do say so myself."
