- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Opening Reception Thursday, May 1st - 6-8PM
David Krut Projects is pleased to present Dread Blush, Joseph Hart's second solo exhibition with the gallery.
Hart's work is a collision of choreographed and happenstance mark-making, brutal editing and reinvention. Utilizing drawing, painting and cut-paper collage, Hart's process is structured around cursory gestures: errant dashes, ticks, quick lines, scrawls, swoops and zigzags. This set of preliminary and exploratory maneuvers are then built upon, reconfigured or impulsively edited out until a composition begins to emerge. In his paper pieces, smaller scale drawings are often grafted directly into larger works, interrupting the initial picture plane while also reactivating it. The results are abrupt but retain a compelling and provocative elegance.
Dread Blush emphasizes Hart's interest in the boundaries presented by scale and context, compositional management, and the paradoxical relationship between strategy and chance. Through the physical limits of his reach, the edges of over-sized works are hastily (and sometimes literally) pointed out with slashes in graphite or oil stick. These gestures, or reaches, function as an armature for his next set of marks and are balanced by carefully placed items such as insect decals, rubber elastics and miscellaneous studio detritus. These collaged components introduce bursts of shape and hue, ultimately assisting in subsequent formal decisions. When in process, Hart frantically moves the work multiple times from table, to floor, to wall and back, providing evidence of action, adjustment and touch.
Hart sites "over-thinking things" as both destructive and critical to his practice. Works often deemed too tight, contrived, disastrous, or other, are disassembled and recycled into newer pieces, transforming the ghosts of failure into important moments of discovery and intrigue. Hart relies heavily on this act of revitalization. This system of working capitalizes on the unscripted, can simplify the complex, and champions micro exchanges between intentions and actualities, blemish and beauty, vice and virtue.
Originally from New Hampshire, Joseph Hart is a Brooklyn, New York-based artist. His work has been exhibited at Galerie Vidal Saint Phalle in Paris, Galleri Tom Christofferson in Copenhagen, Alexander & Bonin, CRG Gallery, Klaus Von Nichtssangend Gallery, and Halsey Mckay Gallery in New York, among others. Hart's work has also been included in notable shows at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Santa Monica Museum of Art and The Elizabeth Foundation for The Arts. He has been featured in periodicals such as FlashArt, Modern Painters, and The New York Times. He is currently a resident artist at the Dieu Donné Workspace Program, in New York. Hart holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Brave Rosie, 5, has her legs AMPUTATED to fix her spine... and stop her internal organs from crushing her to death
- Rosie was born with a gap in her spine that left her body lacking support
- The five-year-old's lower legs were also folded under her in rare disorder
- She then had her lower legs amputed and the bone inserted into her spine
A girl whose organs were slowly being crushed under their own weight because of a spinal defect has been saved - after doctors amputated her legs and inserted the bones into her back.
Rosie Davies, five, was born with a massive gap in her spine, and her legs were folded up under the back of her thighs.
The missing segment meant Rosie's body did not have enough support and she may have died from organ failure.
Scroll down for video
Rosie Davies was born with a rare spinal condition (pictured left as a baby). She now faces a brighter future after surgeons amputated her lower legs and supported her reconstituted spine
Rosie's mother said the young girl had never considered herself to be disabled, and would always find away around obstacles
But doctors at Birmingham Children's Hospital saved her life after coming up with a radical solution - amputate her lower legs, which had very little feeling in them, and use the bone to forge the gap in her spine.
Rosie, from Walsall in the West Midlands, became the first child in the UK and only the second person in the world to undergo the pioneering surgery last month and is now recovering well.
Her mother, Mandy Collett, could not be more proud of her.
She said: 'Rosie has never considered herself as
disabled. She decides what she wants to do, and finds a way to do it,
overcoming any obstacle.
'She has always been very active enjoying dance, sport and playing with others. She is an exceptionally bright young girl who is above average academically.'
Rosie is the only person in the UK to have the extremely rare spinal condition, spinal segmental dysgenesis of the lumbar spine, where the lower segment of her spine is missing. Earlier attempts to straighten her legs had been unsuccessful, leading doctors to consider the risky surgery.
Rosie with big sister Mia. Her mother said she would one day like Mia to teach her how to walk
Pioneering: Rosie received a bone graft from one of her amputated legs. Metal scaffolding was then implanted to support the spine
During the complex operation by a team of seven, Rosie's lower legs were amputated where she
had little or no feeling, and bone was taken from one of her legs and
grafted to the base of her spine.
15cm long rods were screwed in place – carefully avoiding the nerves –
to create a type of 'scaffolding' from the upper part of her spine down to
the hip bone. The operation took a grueling 13 hours.
Before the operation Rosie did have some feeling in her lower body. At eight months old she was able to move herself around adopting a commando style crawl suggesting that her spine and nerves were working after all.
Now, after the operation Rosie already has more sensation in the upper part of her legs. It is a huge development and opens up the possibility that Rosie may one day walk using prosthetic limbs.
Ms Collett said: 'The only thing that Rosie has been
unable to do is walk, which is her ultimate goal in life. After her
operation and with the correct support we're confident now that she will
be able to find a way to do that - to some degree.
'She loves her older sister Mia dearly, and has always aspired to be like her. She always says she would like to walk like Mia one day and that Mia would teach her.'
Mr Guirish Solanki, who was one of the three operating surgeons, said the team were very pleased with the results
The family on the way home from a check-up at Birmingham Children's Hospital. They are looking forward to their first worry-free Christmas
Both she and Rosie's father Scott, thanked staff at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
'I know from talking to the surgeons that
there were some very tough decisions that needed to be made as the
surgery progressed, and I am grateful for their ability to work through
difficult circumstances to give our daughter the best chance of reaching
her full potential,' Ms Collett said.
Consultant Neurosurgeon Mr Guirish
Solanki from Birmingham Children's Hospital, who was one of the three
surgeons to operate on Rosie, said: 'We
are delighted with the results of this operation. This is only the
second time in the world that a surgical team has attempted to fix the
thoracic spine to the hip side bones for a condition as rare as Rosie's.
'This case was very complicated as normally children with this condition do not have a working spinal cord or nerves but Rosie did. So in carrying out this procedure we had to be extremely careful not to damage her nerves.'

Low-Complexity Dynamic-Range Control System Based on Scale-Factor Weighting
A low-complexity dynamic range control (DRC) system is proposed offering variable compression of the signal dynamic range. It is based on scale-factor weighting in source decoders (e.g. NICAM or MUSICAM). The received scale-factors are used as sound level information and weighted according to the desired static and dynamic compression characteristic. A MUSICAM-DRC decoder has been developed. Results show that the system achieves high-quality signal dynamic range compression without additional delay and without significant increase of complexity.

Intrapalmar orthosis to protect and give stability to the carpus' zone of the hand, without limiting normal the hand's movement, which consists of one semiflexible or rigid support splint arranged on a gauntlet to put on the hand' palm, the splint forming a whole body. Once incorporated to the hand, the splint functions only if the hand is working, then a firm pressure is exerted over the palmar face of the carpus.
1. An intrapalmar orthosis to protect and give palmar region stability and support to the osseus carpus region of a hand without limiting normal movement of fingers and thumb of the hand or normal wrist movement during manual work, comprising in combination:
a flexible gauntlet shaped and sized to fit only around the palmar region of the hand terminating short of the fingers and wrist and apertured for slipping over the thumb, thereby to permit unimpeded movement of the fingers and wrist, and
a semi-flexible palmar splint adapted to fit only over the carpus palmar region retained in said gauntlet and shaped with a carpus region from which extends a metacarpus tongue for following, covering and supporting dorsal and palmar contours of the hand in a rest position of the hand and to provide firm pressure on the palmar face of the carpus when the hand is doing manual work,
said metacarpus tongue leaving fingers free to move and having a palmer center structure serving as a support center on the orthosis at a mechanic center of the hand,
whereby protection and support is given to reduce instability of the osseous carpus and to reduce pain induced from said instability while doing manual work while introducing little interference with normal functions of the hand.
2. The orthesis of claim 1 wherein a splint contact surface follows the contour of the palm and the gauntlet and splint are cooperatively configured to avoid pressure on the hand at rest and to exert a force on the carpus bones when the hand is working.
3. The orthosis of claim 1 wherein the splint is configured with a carpus support area from which a metacarpus support tongue extends.
4. The orthosis of claim 3 wherein the carpus support area comprises a transverse arch surface configuration and the tongue comprises a longitudinal arch surface configuration.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/572,012, filed Dec. 14, 1995, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an intrapalmar orthosis to protect and give stability to the carpus' palmar zone of the hand, giving support to the carpus.
For many years in medical practice of prevention and rehabilitation, several orthoses have been implemented, with the purpose of protecting wrist and hand, having as a common characteristic that they cross the wrist and have a rigid structure, which limits the wrist's and finger's free movement; other splints are elastic, offering no support to the osseous structures of the carpus, other are designed with gel or similar materials, neither giving any support to the osseous carpus, but serving to absorb vibrations when working with pneumatic tools or the like, numbing one's function because of their size and distribution, all of them offer no specific support to the carpus' palmar zone.
For the first time as far known, with the use of this invention, it will be possible to make hand's movements easily and comfortably, because its support is limited to the carpus palmar zone.
The intrapalmar orthosis has a significant advantage, because its use is comfortable and it doesn't interfere with the hand's function, so someone may use it all time if it be necessary, or during normal activities, including work time.
This invention is of generic use, specially for protecting the carpus' palmar region and giving support to the carpus in case of instability.
Intrapalmar hand's orthosis for palmar support of the carpus, designed to be used by workers who manually manage materials and by patients with carpus problems.
Intrapalmar orthosis comprehends a semiflexible or rigid plate of polyproylene, polyethylene or similar plastic material to be placed on the hand's carpus palmar region and a fastening gauntlet to be incorporated to the hand, closing in the hand's dorsal region; the orthoses semiflexible support is included in the gauntlet.
One object of this invention is to provide a firm palmar support to the carpus bones during manual work and when there is a carpus instability or pain, allowing free movement of hand and wrist. Another object is to provide its use in moderate and heavy manual activities without interfering with the hand's function, without causing a loss of labor efficiency.
FIG. 1 is a perspective frontal view of the intrapalmar orthosis.
FIG. 2 is a lateral perspective view of the semiflexible support.
FIG. 3 is a perspective frontal view of the semiflexible support.
FIG. 4 is a frontal view of the orthosis, worn on the hand.
FIG. 5 is a back view of the orthosis worn on the hand.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, where like numbers in the figures indicate like elements, this invention consists of a hand's intrapalmar orthosis (FIG. 1), which comprehends a semiflexible support (1), to be placed in the hand's palmar region, having a carpus area (5) and a metacarpus tongue (6). This semi flexible support (1) is made from plastic material in plate or sheet from, such as polypropylene, polyethylene or other material of similar characteristics. The semiflexible support (1) follows the hand's palmer contour, having a longitudinal arch (8) of front concavity, a transverse arch (9) of front concavity, a palmar center button (10) and a fastening gauntlet (2) to be incorporated to the hand (FIGS. 4,5). The gauntlet (2) covers the whole dorsal and palmar region of the hand, not including the fingers, with the exception of the thumb for which it has the thumb hole (4), closing in the back by means of VELCRO or the like (3). The gauntlet (2) doesn't extend past the close fold of the wrist nor does the distal extreme (7) of the gauntlet (2) extend past the palmar fold, nor reach the fingers.
Intrapalmar orthosis design (FIG. 1), when worn (FIGS. 4,5), provides an effective support to the hand's palmar zone, due to the semiflexible support (1), which performs a firm pressure upon the hand's carpus bones. The metacarpus tongue (6) design, allows the movement of the hand's external metacarpus, thus keeping the finger movements is free. Longitudinal (8) and transverse (9) arches of the semiflexible support (1) follow the hand's contour and give support to the carpus in the principal force lines crossing it, according to its normal biomechanism. The palmar center button (10) gives support to the hand's mechanic center, giving at the same time a support point to the orthosis.
The semiflexible support (1) stands in its place because it is included in the gauntlet (2) by means of a seam or other useful mean.
The intrapalmar orthosis (FIG. 1) is designed to perform its mechanical function only when the hand exerts a force in its normal functions, that is to say, during cylindrical, spherical, pincers' pressing, as well as in flat pressing (resting the hand in a flat surface). The intrapalmar orthosis (FIG. 1) has no mechanic effect during rest, thus being comfortable and well tolerated when used during long periods.
The gauntlet can be made of leather, fabric, woven elastic material, semielastic or non-elastic.
To attach the intrapalmar orthosis, (FIG. 1) having the structure of the invention previously mentioned on the user's hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the thumb hole (4) is applied to the thumb, verifying that the semiflexible support (1) remains well secured to the hand's palmar region and closing the back extremes of the gauntlet (2), making sure they remain well adjusted in its joining seam (3).
This intrapalmar orthosis design can be made in different shapes than the one here disclosed, to treat particular cases, the semiflexible support (1) could have special support or pressure zones for one or many carpus bones requiring it. Thus, the basic form can be modified with the purpose of including metacarpus bones, as required.
Electric or electronic elements with different purposes may be added to this intrapalmar splint (FIG. 1).

Environmental news in Singapore
22 March 2011
All you need to know to take part in Earth Hour and four tips to conserve energy every day, from WWF Campaign Manager Carine Seror.
Where is the best place to watch the city lights go out on 26 March, and when should I get there?
WWF is inviting everyone to join the Earth Hour Official Party from 5.30pm at the Promontory @ Marina Bay. There will be a live concert and carnival, and at 8.30pm as the lights go out, we will flag off the first Earth Hour Night Walk that will take us around the Marina Bay. The party will be fuelled by Alpha Biodiesel recycled from the waste cooking oil from IKEA restaurants..
If you're not in the mood for a walk, you can watch a screening of the award-winning British documentary The Age of Stupid. Just remember to bring your picnic basket.
Which of Singapore's iconic buildings have taken part in Earth Hour?
Most of our icons and landmarks have switched off their non-essential lights during previous Earth Hours, including the Merlion, Changi Airport, The Fullerton Hotel, The Singapore Flyer as well as a number of shopping malls across the island.
Anything new happening this year?
This year's highlight is the Earth Hour Night Walk. It aims to be a symbolic march – an opportunity to send a strong message that we care about the future and, of course, also a chance to come together and celebrate the one thing we have in common: our planet.
Do you recommend any particular candles as an alternative light source for people taking part in Earth Hour at home?
We highly recommend using beeswax or vegetable wax candles as opposed to paraffin-based candles that are made from an oil byproduct. But why not simply spend this hour in the dark? You could walk your dog or enjoy some stargazing, for instance.
How can I can conserve energy every day, rather than just during Earth Hour?
Use a fan instead of air-conditioning, and when you turn your air-conditioning on, set the temperature at 24 degrees Celsius or higher.
Take the MRT, use your bike or walk; this will help you keep fit and reduce your ecological footprint.
Plan your holidays closer to Singapore; there are so many beautiful places near us to discover.
Shop wisely: ideally, bring your own reusable shopping bag; politely refuse the cashier's offer to wrap your stuff in two or three bags; and choose what you buy responsibly. Select items with minimal packaging that are produced closer to Singapore, to reduce the emissions that result from shipping goods around the world.
For more information about Earth Hour, or to register for the Night Walk, visit www.wwf.sg.

It is not enough to just purchase a race card whether it is Bol or Vel or Cole in India and looking at their choices in the bottom if you want to make a meaningful wager in horse races
The race card publishers give 6 tips in each race and minimum 3 tips under their selection and another 3 tips under track reporter's choice. So it is necessary that you have to pick one or two among the selection for which you need to understand what is the form of a horse basically and if the form is not understood, chances are you always pay the bookies while expecting them to pay you..www.indiaracetips.com will publish one or two choices only whether win or lose is only results can tell .We are bold and not blind (Instead of giving 6 choices and some time the winner is not among six too}
No. The upward form and downward form and no form are in one complete form cycle of a horse. Horse wins in upward form and after few wins it loses its peak form and starts declining performance and later on goes completely out of form sometimes before regaining the lost form .The form of a race horse can be detected in their past performance. That does not guarantee you it will be keeping the same form for today races BUT consistency is expected from horses who are kept in good nick barring unknown hitches After all the past performance is a guide for you to know previous maximum potential of the particular horse. When I asked a trainer about how long a horse can retain the form, he suddenly shot back; I cannot tell you the exact period and it is a varied one. A horse may be retaining form astonishingly to even two to 5 years and other may lose it in few months too and it is directly related to the wellness of the horse and the conditioning method the trainer adopted in shaping its racing path.
You need to make judgment on each runners winning chance based on the analysis you made after reading every runners form. Many amateur punters jump to conclusion only seeing a particular runner and voting for it without even getting into the details of what other runners in that race have done so far. This may prove costly over your punting experience. For this reason indiaracetips devotes much time and publishes the other runners form in simple mode of explanation and re -arranges the runners in our Analysis/Tips sheets based on current winning chances.
Form Analysts will undoubtedly consider lots of other factors also before placing their bet or suggesting to someone to wager and they take some or all of the following into consideration.
This is extremely important as some runners love hard underfoot and some love yield conditions while some relieve the soft going .Usually the past record studied with penetrometer readings and their finishes on the given underfoot will guide you in taking out a meaningful decision on this reading.
Assuming the runners on a particular race today have already run some races, gives you the performance of those runners in the distance they have run so far. If you look at the distance they had already run definitely they come from varied distances of their like and dislike .It is therefore you need to have clear cut thought whether this runner will run better in this distance or not. The first timers are judged based on the pedigree factor as well the training tactics of a trainer and you need to possess that skill while deciding to vote or against such distance suitability. For the experienced again it is the minimal task and for the new comers it may be a daunting task .If your final selection does not have the distance suitability then you are likely to be in for a shock as some horses are sprint lovers and some are middle distance upto a mile and others are stamina specialists who love long trips. For this reason in our analysis if the trip is new there will be a mention of how much .This will definitely give an edge in your wagering preference
If the horses are kept fit, they are likely to maintain consistency in their performance. Here when I speak of class, you need to understand types of races run in India.
In India very hardly people pay attention to this factor, they are quit confused because they do not read the race title and pay attention to what type of race the runners are in for today and what were the race types they participated in the past. I would say not even 10% of race goers wagering on horse races at India consider this vital point.
When you read class, here a good element of elimination process is present and that might reduce your task of weeding out the pretenders before considering the contenders. In every race the trainers' field pretenders and contenders but it is you who should have the knack of identifying which catogory they belong.
Horses that perform in handicap races may not perform well in listed or graded races.Usually if you look at the career path of each participant,you might get a fair idea of how the horses have come to this particular race.
The stake money advertised for the graded races gives you valuable information .Only top bloodstock are pitted with meticulous preparations are likely to run in listed and graded races and when they run in the lower grade or in handicap races after being just participants earlier in graded and listed races they are likely to dominate the proceedings .For this reason a comment considering class is obviously included in the race analysis.
For more information please check the pattern of races in India to understand handicap and graded races in this site where you can get information on classes of different race clubs in India
Pace study is an intricate one. But it will be a truly rewarding if you can judge the pace of the race. You need to know what kind of pace a particular race was run and whether this runner in consideration liked it or not. This is evident from the runners finish within 5 lengths from the winner for a possible future consideration .The results may not be the same if the races are run in different paces assuming the same contenders now but with a different pace.
The point which is largely ignored is some horses love some tracks. A horse that loves Mahalaxmi ground may not perform well at Bangalore or vice versa and some horses are specific to the tracks and some show their best in certain tracks. The recent multimillion winners Murioi at Mahalaxmi track is latest example, while it was squarely beaten in other tracks but he proved its mettle at the Mumbai track against his conquerors. Very often you will see in our analysis winner C], winner CD] and for exactly giving you the information we would like you to consider or drop in your final wagering
When using a form guide it is suggested you pay some attention to racing incidents that may have marred a particular runner's chances that day and helped the winner.You also need to be aware of common abbreviations used to denote various factors in a horse's recent form line in various race publications.We suggest you to read each publication's 'How to Read the Race Card' as it varies it from publication to publication
Other factors that matter while selecting is the finish where exactly this horse finished when last ran, the company line (gives valuable information as regard to strength of the other runners), the spell, winning or losing spell of a horse, the beaten favorites, and other factors such as gelded dates, racing gap and even manners .For any other clarification if you would like please feel free to mail to email@example.com and if we feel you have genuine query we will assist you.

Local dealers not big fans of balky Cash for Clunkers
By Tom Larson
Sun Tribune
Local auto dealers still are waiting for payment on the bulk of their Cash for Clunkers sales, and none are anxious for a reprise of the program.
"The premise was pretty good," said Tom Krusemark, owner of Valu Ford and Chrysler in Morris. "It did what (the federal government) wanted it to do. It generated a lot of interest in the showroom and it got things cranked up in Detroit. But logistically, it left a lot to be desired."

Anyway, come on - it's an ambitious 1B NOK IT project which isn't only rendered unavailable due to "high" traffic, but also contains unforgivable flaws (like exposing "Kenneth") -- THAT, my friend, is a fucking joke, regardless of how profitable it is.
I normally wouldn't care about this, but since the Norwegian government (i.e. the people, myself included) paid 1 billion NOK for this solution, I expect it to WORK. Mind you, this is not the first time we've had problems with Altinn, this has been a recurring drama the past few years.

We're not *that* many people in Norway (recently hit the 5 million mark), and certainly not that many adults checking their tax returns online. Guesstimate: 1 million? And how many checks it simultaneously? Let's be generous and say half.
So how the hell can a 175 million USD project not be able to deal with 500k visitors? It's a fucking joke.
Because some of us just can't let go.

Though the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has made Indianapolis its headquarters for nearly a century, the denomination is considering pulling its next biennial convention out of Indiana over a new state law that allows businesses to turn away gay customers.
Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on March 26, the day after receiving a letter from church leaders pleading with him to veto it and threatening to move their 2017 General Assembly outside the state.
The bill protects business owners who invoke their religious beliefs to deny service to LGBT customers. A photographer, for example, may refuse to take pictures of a lesbian wedding on the grounds that his faith rejects gay marriage.
"Purportedly a matter of religious freedom, we find RFRA contrary to the values of our faith — as well as to our national and Hoosier values," stated the letter, which was signed by Sharon E. Watkins, the church's general minister and president, as well as the leaders of its overseas and domestic missions.
"As a Christian church, we are particularly sensitive to the values of the One we follow — one who sat at table with people from all walks of life, and loved them all."
The General Assembly will bring more than 6,000 church members to whatever U.S. city the church decides upon and is expected to generate about $5 million in tourism dollars. After Pence signed the law, ministry leaders said they are weighing the costs of moving not only the General Assembly, but smaller meetings — such as the more frequent gatherings of the 125-member board of directors — which most often meets in Indianapolis.
Associate General Minister and Vice President Todd Adams said the church's board will decide whether to yank the General Assembly from Indianapolis at its next meeting, which begins on April 10.
Other businesses and conventions, including Gen Con, the world's largest gaming convention, which brings an estimated $50 million to the state each year, have also threatened to find another place to hold their events.
In the wake of tragic shootings of unarmed black men at the hands of vigilantes and white police officers, many institutions across American society, from the president on down, have sought to foster "national conversations" about race.
Perhaps surprisingly, an agency of the Southern Baptist Convention is sponsoring one of the most important and fruitful such conversations. The SBC's public policy arm, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, has hosted a summit on racial reconciliation last week in Nashville, Tenn.
Founded in 1845 in a split over slavery, the SBC has made laudable efforts to overcome its racist past. Some moderate and liberal Southern Baptist leaders prophetically denounced racism and supported the civil rights movement, but those very leaders were forced out of the denomination during a period of conservative resurgence in the 1980s. Today's SBC leaders are in the tenuous position of saying that moderates were right about race but wrong about everything else.
Southern Baptist leaders are determined to challenge the lingering indifferent or crude attitudes on race where they still exist among the denomination's mostly white, mostly Southern constituency.
Charged with carrying out the SBC's political priorities, the ERLC is best known for its advocacy for religious freedom and against abortion and same-sex marriage. Yet in the wake of unrest over last year's deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in Staten Island, N.Y., the ERLC hastened its plans to hold a summit on race.
The Nashville event drew more than 500 clergy, lay leaders, and seminarians from across Southern Baptist life. Thousands more watched a live stream online. The speaker lineup was male-dominated but was decidedly mixed race. The ERLC was much more eager to hear from ethnic minorities at this summit than it was to hear from gay people at its fall conference on homosexuality.
While the sexuality conference projected certainty and unanimity — acceptance of homosexual expression is inconsistent with Christianity and will not be tolerated in Southern Baptist churches — white Baptists came to their race summit with genuine humility and a spirit of repentance for the harm racism has caused.
Dean Inserra, lead pastor of City Church in Tallahassee, Fla., challenged the audience: "When you say a school or neighborhood has 'gone downhill,' what are you saying?"
Conceding his own need for greater empathy, Inserra recalled asking a black clergy colleague to help him understand how police violence affects black communities.
It is Holy Week. And I must admit I'm challenged by it. I'm the kind of person who is much more comfortable in my mind, in words on pages, and in thoughts strung together. I am much more comfortable there than in my body, in my own feet stepping down the street, in my own hips, thighs, calves, swaying arms cutting air, swinging, bobbing, Reebok-ing anywhere.
This wasn't always the case.
There was a stint in high school, and again in college, and again in grad school, and again in the other grad school when I believed in my body's capacity to excel — and so it did. I sailed around that high school track multiple times without stopping! I dove for the ball in the students v. teachers volley ball tournament, and I danced: jazz, tap, ballet! In college I rode my bike everywhere. In grad school I did interval training and in the other grad school I did power-walking — and Jenny Craig.
Mind you, all of these periods came in short bursts that propelled me forward for a time and then I would slow down, go into myself, and come out again with another burst in a year or two.
But my last big burst was about eight years ago. I haven't swayed anything or bobbed anywhere for any significant amount of time since.
I felt it coming on. I knew it was happening when it was happening, but I had no idea I would become consumed by it.
"I just don't feel like getting up to go walking," I'd tell myself at my normal walking time.
"What if today is the day I get jumped and raped in the park?"
So I stayed home, convinced I was safer in my bed. Then I moved to a city I didn't know and the rationalizations took deeper root.
And so, for eight years I have lived like a dualistic gnostic — pushing myself toward spiritual renewal while allowing my body to grow stagnant, stiff, and bloated.
What triggered it? I've asked myself that question many times over the years.
A recent event in my life crystalized it for me: Loss had stifled me. A loss locked my feet and knees and would not let me move forward. This loss was loss of hope.
Most of us have that area of our lives where we struggle to hope. For me it is that space down deep where I hide the dream of a family: a loving husband and laughing children and a rockin' writing and speaking schedule — yeah! It's my dream.
Sitting in Prajwala's small conference room adjacent to a chaotic market, I asked Sunitha where the strength came from to charge ahead into danger, violence, and sometimes even rejection by the women Prajwala served. I don't remember her exact words - but the gist was that the strength came not from herself, but from faith in her own experience of God. Not a God owned by some religious denomination, but the real One. That One who never let Sunitha down when it was time to pay the staff, deal with the mob, handle corrupt police, or remain resolute in the face of failure.
I have been blessed and humbled to have met these three women and remain inspired by what they do, particularly their commitment to empowering other women and girls. Sunitha told me to not just show up and feel sorry. Send money if you are inclined, but most importantly, speak about sexual slavery and trafficking to everyone you know. Don't allow anyone to pretend it isn't going on in your own community. Only when all men are vocal about this and intolerant of any abuse of women will things improve.
I pray that I may develop a sliver of the courage Anna, Anna, and Sunitha model.
1. How Yemen Became the Middle East's Latest Regional Nightmare
As Saudi Arabia and Egypt say they're prepared to send in ground troops, here's a look at how Yemen got to this point.
2. God and Jeb"[Jeb] Bush wants Christian conservatives to pay attention to what he's done, not just to what he says. But in a Republican presidential primary, can actions — much less actions more than a decade in the past — actually speak louder than words? Can quiet faith, and quiet support from some religious leaders, carry the day against a field full of outspoken Christian warriors?"
3. A Response to Critics of the Open Letter to Franklin Graham
"Jesus says 'If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone.' Jesus does not say, 'If another member of the church sins against millions, and hundreds of thousands begin to follow his lead on the issue, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone.'"
4. Women & Leadership: Public Says Women Are Equally Qualified, but Barriers Exist
And it might not be the barriers you would think. "Only about one-in-five say women's family responsibilities are a major reason there aren't more females in top leadership positions in business and politics. Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions."
The National Latino Evangelical Coalition has voted to support repeal of the death penalty, calling it an anti-life practice. Urging their 3,000 congregations to support efforts to end capital punishment across the country, NaLEC joins an increasing number of Christians across the country and internationally who are realizing afresh the moral problems with the death penalty. Most recently Pope Francis went beyond the official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church to call the "death penalty inadmissible, no matter how serious the crime committed."
"After prayer, reflection, and dialog with anti-death penalty organizations like Equal Justice USA," said Rev. Gabriel Salguero, president of NaLEC, in a news release. "we felt compelled to add our voice to this important issue. As Christ followers, we are called to work toward justice for all. And as Latinos, we know too well that justice is not always even-handed."
Pope Francis is a straight shooter who does not mince words: "If we destroy creation, creation will destroy us," the pontiff said last year. "Never forget this!"
The pope's warning and calls for action have galvanized many religious leaders from across Maryland to step up our efforts to protect God's creation from climate change disruptions. We understand that it is the poor and most vulnerable among us who are bearing the brunt of human-induced climate change. Unless we act now, the impacts of devastating super-storms, massive floods, droughts, and crop failures will only accelerate. Refusing to bury one's head in the sand and facing squarely the reality of climate change is a fundamental issue of justice and respect for life.
This is why I, a Franciscan friar priest, have joined more than 230 Maryland religious leaders, including Bishop Dennis Madden of the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore and six other leaders of Christian denominations across Maryland, in issuing an urgent, moral challenge. We are calling on Marylanders — including our elected officials — to take action on climate change by helping to shift our state's energy policy towards renewable, clean energy sources.
When it comes to consensual sexual ethics among millennials, all behaviors are on the table … if the time is right. For the same generation in which no single religious group claims more than about one in 10, there is also little clear generational consensus on sex and reproductive health, a new report finds.
"Across seven behaviors related to sexuality [including: using contraception, sex between minors, unmarried cohabitation], there were no issues for which a majority pronounced them morally wrong in general," the report, authored by Robert P. Jones and Daniel Cox at the Public Religion Research Institute, states.
Millennials prove a regular source of fascination for commentators and other millennials alike. This is the generation that launched a thousand think pieces, and understandably so — in study after study, millennials consistently defy both traditional categories and expected reactive categories alike. (We're an obstinate bunch.)
When it comes to sex, PRRI's new release highlights what its authors call "situationalist ethics" — a flexible set of acceptable behaviors. Far from displaying a lack of moral code, the report suggests millennials embracing nebulous but durable moral through-lines that eschew the "whats" of behavior for the "hows" and "whens."
For example, in the case of sex between two adults who have no intention of establishing a relationship, millennials are evenly divided for and against (37 percent), with a significant number saying it depends on the situation (21 percent).
When it comes to abortion, most say it depends on the situation (39 percent), though more say it's morally wrong than morally acceptable. Using artificial forms of birth control is by far the clearest point of agreement, with a full 71 percent saying it's morally acceptable and another 14 percent depending on the situation — only 9 percent rejecting the use.
The report examines how our generation's religious, racial, and political diversity is shaping attitudes, but it's worth nothing how educational attainment is shaping moral frameworks, too. Much of the report's findings reflect similar attitudes on broad categories across racial and religious lines, while noting some stark differences when broken down by educational attainment. (Not discussed in the report, but well-documented elsewhere — the crucial question of poverty and economic mobility when it comes to sexual norms.)
Have you ever blamed yourself for some horrible thing that happened to you? When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 45, I immediately started to wonder what I had done to cause my body to betray me like that. Maybe I'd eaten the wrong foods or not taken good enough care of my health – I know it wasn't exactly logical, but I needed to find a cause and "me, myself, and I" turned out to be a convenient target. Thank God that my pastor, now of blessed memory, responded forcefully. "Don't even go there," he said, shutting me down before I'd gotten more than a few words out of my mouth. "You are not to blame." He told me that bad things happen sometimes for no good reason and I should focus on my healing and not waste energy blaming myself. That was that for me. I trusted him so much that I stopped blaming myself right then and there.
A Culture of Victim Blaming
What does this have to do with victims of rape on college campuses? Rape is a really, really bad thing and rape victims desperately want to understand why this awful thing happened to them. The news coming out of college campuses seems full of accusations and rumors of college women being victimized by their classmates. Just as I did after my cancer diagnosis, victims can make the same mistake I did and blame themselves. It doesn't help that too often the response they get from the culture around them blames them too. The term "rape culture" is being used because it conveys that the problem of rape is compounded after the assault when victim suffering is denied and perpetrators excused. What rape victims need – especially young, vulnerable college-age women – is a response as forceful and believable to them as my pastor's was for me. To their credit, college campuses are wrestling with finding the right combination of policies and responses to convey loud and clear, "You are not to blame."
Counseling services and the formation of student support groups on campus have gone a long way toward removing the stigma of blame from victims. And many campuses have for years honored the risk of post-traumatic responses by including so-called "trigger warnings" on syllabuses. These warnings alert students to reading assignments, movies, or discussions that might trigger a post-traumatic response. Students can choose to opt out of those classes and/or assignments, which goes a long way toward honoring their stories and demonstrating concern for their wounds. Survivor groups have also reacted strongly when other types of triggers are not acknowledged appropriately by the university. For example, a debate on the Brown University campus about the term "rape culture" included one panelist who was likely to criticize the term, which ignited protests from a student group seeking to make the campus a safe place for rape victims. The university agreed to create a safe place on campus for victims to recover from the trauma of having their viewpoints "invalidated."
In a world surging with anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and the persecution of Christians, a Muslim is soon to portray Jesus in a film called Killing Jesus. Based on Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's bestselling book of the same name, the film seeks to capture the human dynamics and political milieu around the controversial death of Jesus of Nazareth.
Haaz Sleiman, a Lebanese-born American Muslim, was chosen to play the lead as the Jesus character. His selection makes him virtually the first actor of Middle Eastern descent to ever play the role in any mainstream film.
While National Geographic's attempt at authenticity should be celebrated, the casting of Sleiman has, instead, stirred quite the controversy.
Imagine — in a context where religious tribalism is growing fiercer, a Muslim is embodying the role of a Palestinian Jew and central figure to Christianity. Is this a heretical impossibility or is this a picture of something beautiful?
On Tuesday, I sat down with Haaz to explore the uniqueness of this moment in his career and how the experience of embodying the life and teachings of Jesus has left him forever changed.
What immediately stood out is the grace with which he is handling the criticism from Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. Rather than worrying about the controversy, Sleiman feels lucky to have had the opportunity. For him, it was the "ultimate experience as an actor" as he had been "heavily shaped" by Jesus during his childhood. Growing up in a Muslim home, he was taught to revere Jesus as the prophet equal to Mohammed who had come to reveal the beauty and potential of humanity. To play this role gave him a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to "become the character that he truly believes in."

Helen Hunt auditions to replace Penelope Cruz in the English-language remake of Woman on Top. Also, quick takes on the French movies Holy Motors and All Together.
The Sessions
One of the big hits at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where it picked up the Audience Award and ignited Oscar buzz for its stars John Hawkes and Helen Hunt, The Sessions arrives in theaters poised to make a splash in the year-end awards race, at least in the acting categories. Certainly, it's subject matter is catnip for voters: based on a true story, the film casts Hawkes as Mark O'Brien, a San Francisco-based poet and journalist whose childhood brush with polio left him paralyzed and in an iron lung. (The real O'Brien, who wrote the article on which the film is based, passed away in 1999 at the age of 49.) Spending his days flat on his back, O'Brien has nevertheless managed to make a successful, fulfilling life and career for himself, but there's still something missing from his existence: the intimacy -- both emotional and physical -- that comes with being in a committed, loving relationship. In the midst of researching a news story about the sex lives of other disabled men and women, Mark decides that, at 38, it's time he finally popped his cherry, so to speak. With the blessing of his priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy) and the aid of his nurses Rod (W. Earl Brown) and Vera (Moon Bloodgood), he signs up for a six-session crash course in lovemaking with sex surrogate, Cheryl (Helen Hunt). With her gently, patiently guiding him, Mark learns how to adapt his body to both the idea and mechanics of sex, which in turn provides him with a profound insight into its connection with love.
So much could have gone wrong with bringing this story to the screen, the fact that writer/director Ben Lewin manages to make a film that's both respectful of its subject and also legitimately entertaining is an achievement in and of itself. And, truth be told, he does miss the mark at times, straining too hard for crowd-pleasing comic moments (most of which involve Macy's priest and Bloodgood's nurse, who are forced to play some of the broader, more sitcom-y beats) and attempting to manufacture drama where little exists (like Cheryl's relationship with her husband, played by Adam Arkin, who is presented as being aware of and comfortable with her profession, at least until it follows her home -- more than anything these scenes feel like an unnecessary effort to beef up Hunt's screen time).
But the core of the move -- specifically the sessions between Mark and Cheryl -- is quite good, thanks to Lewin's frank, yet also funny and sensitive depiction of two strangers exploring each other's bodies and the well-judged performances of Hawkes and Hunt. (If you've ever been up late watching old episodes of Mad About You or Deadwood and caught yourself wondering what these two look like naked... here's your answer.) Without a trace of hamminess or Oscar-clip ready histrionics, the actors locate the emotional reality in this not-exactly-everyday scenario and create a healthy, believable relationship that defies easy categorization; they're more than a teacher and a student, but less than full-blown lovers. (That the movie studiously avoids steering them in the direction of the typical happy ending is another of its strengths.) Overall, the film's treatment of sex is refreshingly open-minded, depicting it as a natural human need that should be respected and encouraged -- rather than feared and denied -- between consenting adults. Whether or not The Sessions nets either of its stars an Oscar, they're sure to win the admiration of audiences and their fellow actors.
Holy Motors
For his first feature in over a decade, French filmmaker Leos Carax concocts a delightfully odd road trip through the streets of Paris with a real-life shapeshifter (his frequent star, Denis Lavant) as our guide. Lavant plays Monsieur Oscar, who spends his days riding around town in a roomy, well-appointed stretch limo being taken from job to job. And what is his line of work, you might ask? Well, he's whatever his clients need him to be, whether that's a dying old man having an emotional conversation with a loved one, a motion-capture performer adept at acting out the most elaborate, CGI-enhanced scenes or a green-suited wild man called "Merde" who kidnaps models (Eva Mendes, in a mute cameo) in the midst of a big photo shot. Holy Motors doesn't have a plot so to speak, but it does unfold in a logical progression of episodes, with Oscar's day eventually building to a chance encounter with a colleague and old lover (Kylie Minogue... yes, the Kylie Minogue) who has tired of their profession. Although this climactic scene doesn't fully pack the emotional punch Carax attempts to bring to it, like the rest of the movie, it's a beautifully crafted scene that takes a number of unexpected twists and turns. Beyond the sheer brio of the filmmaking, Holy Motors is also a terrific showcase for Lavant, who adopts and sheds his various identities with such ease, he's like a magician who has unlocked the secret of body-switching. A cult favorite in the making, Holy Motors shows that movie magic isn't limited to the Harry Potter and Hobbit franchises.
All Together
If your tastes in French cinema run towards the less fantastical, this down-to-earth ensemble drama may satisfy you more than the larger-than-life whimsy of Holy Motors. Boasting a cast that includes Jane Fonda, Geraldine Chaplin, Pierre Richard and Claude Rich, All Together follows a group of elderly friends -- two married couples and one swinging single type -- who decide to avoid the fate of ending up in a retirement home by creating their own elderly commune of sorts. They'll all live together in the same house and take care of each other, in sickness and in health. But problems arise when it turns out that, over the years, some of these lifelong pals have secretly arranged "friends with benefits" situations without their partners' knowledge. Written and directed by Stéphane Robelin, All Together is entirely pleasant without being especially memorable. The actors are good, the script is solid and the ending is sweet, without being sentimental. But it's missing that certain je ne sais quoi that would make the whole amount to more than the sum of its parts.

Bulgaria Ranks First in Unfortunate EU Health Statistics
Bulgaria ranks first in EU terms of stroke mortality rates, according to the Health Strategy 2014-2020.
Some 160 out of 100,000 Bulgarians die of stroke, compared to the average EU mortality of 51 people, Bulgarian Pressa reports.
According to the standardized coefficients, Bulgaria is the leader in terms of mortality caused by cancer, circulatory system diseases, cardiac diseases and some perinatal disorders, too.
An average of 592 Bulgarians out of 100,000 die of cardiovascular diseases, compared to 216 in the rest of the EU.
"There are many risk factors in Bulgaria, such as low standard of living, high numbers of smokers, high stress levels," Ivo Petrov, chair of Bulgarian Society of Cardiology told Presa Daily.
"Early prevention and control of high blood pressure are essential for decreasing stroke and heart attack mortality rates," Petrov stressed.

Cameroon: 50,000 people are estimated displaced due to the recent increase in Boko Haram (BH) attacks in the northern regions. In the past week, an attack on a military base in Kolofata resulted in 143 BH killed, subsequently, BH kidnapped 80 people from one village – with three killed and 24 later released. The conflict has escalated regionally, with Chad pledging military support in Cameroon's fight against Boko Haram.
Nigeria: Violence has escalated significantly in the northeast. Boko Haram killed more than 2,100 people in the first 11 days of the year. Most were killed in an attack on the town of Baga and surrounding settlements in Borno state, on Lake Chad. Up to 20,000 people were displaced. Other attacks took place in Maiduguri, Damaturu, and Potiskum.

December saw a significant deterioration of the security situation – compared to the previous month – in nine countries or conflict situations in the world, including in South Asia (Pakistan and India), and East Africa (South Sudan and Kenya). There is a risk of increased violence in the coming month in Sudan, where major offensives are anticipated on the heels of a failure in the peace talks; in Sri Lanka, in the context of the 8 January elections; and in Haiti, where the current president could rule by decree unless parliament's mandate, due to expire on 12 January, is extended.
Tracking food security trends in vulnerable countries
· According to the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster analyses, 9.8 million people in Syria need various types of food, agriculture and livelihood-related assistance.
· As fighting prevails in Iraq, an estimated 2.2 million people across the governorates of Anbar, Kirkuk, Diyala, Ninewa and Salah al-Din are in need of emergency food assistance.
