Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
April 30, 2012
Dr. Robert Michalow of Bentleyville, assistant professor of education in the Saint Vincent College School of Social Sciences, Communication, and Education, was honored with the presentation of the Quentin Schaut Faculty Award at the Saint Vincent College Spring Honors Convocation on April 25 in Saint Vincent Basilica. The Quentin Schaut Award is named in honor of Fr. Quentin Schaut, O.S.B., a professor of English and the seventh president of the College, and recognizes the contributions, leadership, and achievements of a junior faculty member to the curriculum and life of the College. Dr. Michalow graduated from Saint Vincent College in 1991 with a bachelor of science degree in biology and minors in chemistry and education. He earned a master of science degree in environmental science and management from Duquesne University, and a Ph.D. in forest resource sciences from West Virginia University. Before joining the faculty at Saint Vincent, Dr. Michalow taught chemistry and environmental science at Sewickley Academy. Dr. Michalow teaches a variety of courses both in education and environmental science at the graduate and undergraduate levels. "He is well known for his passionate teaching of those who seek to teach and gives solid advising at all levels of study," Dr. John Smetanka, vice president for academic affairs, commented in making the presentation. "Student comments offer valuable insight into Dr. Michalow's classroom. One student wrote, Dr. Michalow exudes enthusiasm for teaching science and motives you to be enthusiastic as well. Another student wrote, that he is driven regarding teaching science using inquiry and this encourages his students to become alive and teach science in this way. In a course for students studying elementary education a student reflected that, Dr. Michalow always had me engaged in class and inspired me to like science when it had always been my least favorite subject in the past."

Louis Brown Jr. died on Thursday at age 90 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, says Denise, 56.
"My dad was a class act and a gentleman who was always there for us – and for Nicole," she says. "He was a great dad. We are all devastated that he is gone."
Louis, who was an Army Air Force Captain who flew B-17 bombers in World War II and later became a successful businessman, died at 3:40 a.m. in his longtime home in Dana Point, California, surrounded by his wife, Juditha, and daughters, including Denise, Tanya and Dominique, she says.
He is also survived by his children from his first marriage: daughter Wendy, sons Rolf and Tracy and his grandchildren, including Sydney and Justin Simpson, who were just 8 and 5, respectively, when their mother was murdered at their Brentwood, California, home on June 12, 1994.
"My dad had had Alzheimer's for a while," says Denise. "When his condition took a turn for the worse last Wednesday, my mom called me and said to come home. I flew home from Italy as soon as she called. I got there at 6 p.m., and he passed away not even 12 hours later. My mom said he knew I was there. She said, 'He waited for you to come home.' He was at peace."
Denise says that her mother, Juditha, who was married to her father for 58 years, and her sisters, Tanya and Dominique, took care of him at home, around the clock.
"I'm so blessed to have been able to take care of him at home," Tanya, 44, tells PEOPLE. "I think he hung on for so long because he knew there was so much love in the house. I am the youngest and was always daddy's little girl. He was always my daddy first and became my friend later in life. He was always there for me. I could always lean on him. We all could. He was such an honorable man."
An Idyllic Life Shattered by TragedyDenise said she and her sisters spent their childhood and teenage years having "dinner with my family every night" and going on Sunday drives with her dad at the wheel.
To keep his teenage girls "busy and out of trouble," she says, he bought them their own horses. "He would take us to the stable all the time so we could ride. He gave us an incredible life."
All that changed when her sister Nicole and her friend, Ronald Goldman, were murdered. "It was devastating for him," says Denise. "It's not supposed to happen like that. No parent should ever have to bury a child." (He had already lost a daughter, Margit, from his first marriage, to a longtime illness in 1989.)
Courtesy of Denise Brown
Simpson, now 66, was acquitted of the murders but is currently in prison on a 2008 armed robbery conviction related to a robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel.
After his daughter's death, Louis started the Nicole Brown Simpson Charitable Foundation to help victims of domestic violence.
Denise, who has devoted her life to helping victims of domestic violence, says her family is planning her father's funeral services. "He told us he wanted a military burial," she says. "He was very proud to have served in the military. He never wanted any fanfare about it, though. He always said it was his duty and an honor for him to serve his country.
"People are writing to me now, saying what a class act he was," says Denise. "That makes me so proud. He was a lovely man. We will all miss him."
Adds Tanya: "He was the best father any daughter could ever ask for. We all loved him so much."

MIAMI - Community leaders gathered Thursday to kick-off the annual "No More Stray Bullets" campaign.
For the past several years, this campaign has been raising awareness about the danger of shooting off guns during holiday celebrations.
In 1997, 5-year-old Rickia Isaac was killed by a stray bullet during a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.
"Too many kids' lives have been lost by unfriendly gunfire," said Rev. Jerome Starling. "We don't need more unfriendly gunfire in our community."
Law enforcement officials are also taking part in the campaign. They will pass out hundred of flyers reminding people about the county gun bounty program.
Anyone who provides police with information about an illegal gun can receive up to a $1,000 reward.
"If you fail to call that might be the bullet that killed somebody. If you do call maybe we can save a life," said Miami police chief Manny Orosa.
About 600 weapons have been taken off the street since 2008.

We booked this accommodation for 10 days and because it had so many good reviews, we were convinced that we won't have a bad surprise.
But we were very disappointed. The apartment was NOT clean (it looked like it wasn't cleaned at all after the last people left). Hair were lying around, the toilet was not clean (sometimes it had problems flushing) and we didn't feel comfortable walking bare feet in the apartment. There was a constant smell in the apartment, especially in the wardrobe, which meant that we didn't even want to put our clothes in there. The sofa cover was smelling and the mattress of the bed was not comfortable (it sagged).
The nights were very hot, but the apartment has no air conditioning and not even a fan. Only after asking a few times, they managed to give us a fan half way through our stay, which meant that we could at least sleep a little bit better.
When we arrived at the apartment, there was no soap, no toilet paper, no dish washer tabs, no washing liquid... all of these things we first had to buy.
We have a well furnished apartment ourselves and we like to keep it very clean, therefore this experience was not good for us.
The good thing about the apartment is the washing machine and the fact that one can cook, so that one doesn't have to eat outside every day.
The balcony is small but good and the person who handed us the key was very nice.
The supermarket Carrefour, just one minute walk away, is very convenient.
Wonderful apartment, very clean with all commodities you need. We could easily find the apartment thanks to the information we received. When we had questions, we immediately got a helpfull reaction from Sabine or Patricia. The apartment was not far from the sea and the train station. Also highly recommended.
One suggestion: after a long trip it would be nice that the bed was made up.
We had a lovely stay in Nice . We hope to come back one time in the future.
Corrie and Sietze
We had a very nice stay in the comfortable and nicely furnished apartment. The organization and supervision worked perfectly.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in dem gemütlichen und freundlich eingerichteten Apartment. Die Organisation und Betreuung hat bestens funktioniert.
Our stay was very successful.
Oppholdet vårt var meget vellykket.
The apartment exceeded all our expectations, that she is beautiful, we already knew indeed of the images, but the atmosphere created by the loving and tasteful decor made us feel at home right from the start. It was all there, what you need and we have purely missed nothing.
Communication with Sabine and the surrender by Patricia folded well and we will definitely come back !!!!
Die Wohnung hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, dass sie schön ist, wussten wir ja schon von den Bildern, aber die Atmosphäre durch die liebe- und geschmackvolle Einrichtung hat uns von Anfang an zu Hause fühlen lassen. Es war alles vorhanden, was man benötigt und wir haben rein gar nichts vermisst.
Die Kommunikation mit Sabine und die Übergabe durch Patricia klappten bestens und wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen!!!!
our stay was perfect, the apartment super comfortable and like I was at home. when we arrived there was a bottle of wine for us. The site is perfect for supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and the subway 5 minutes walk. We loved and will return to the same apartment.
Thank you very much to Sabine, and Patricia Guy
nuestra estancia fue perfecta, el apartamento super comodo y como si estuviera en casa. cuando llegamos había una botella de vino para nosotros. El sitio es perfecto para supermercados, panaderas, restaurantes y el metro a 5 minutos andando. Nos encanto y volveremos a este mismo apartamento.
Muchas gracias a Sabine, Guy y Patricia
Very nice apartment, clean, spacious, quiet, well located, lots of amenities, easy access to walk to the sites and museums, we spend a very pleasant holiday in Nice in large part thanks to this apartment very relaxing after our outings.
Tres bel appartement, propre, spacieux, tranquille, bien localiser, beaucoup de commodités, acces faciles a pied aux sites et musees, nous avons passer une vacance tres agréables a Nice en grande partie grace a cet appartement tres relaxant apres nos sorties.
Very charming apartment, very charming owner Sabine! Also thanks to the great accommodation we had very relaxing days in Nice.
Sehr charmante Wohnung, sehr charmante Eigentümerin Sabine! Auch Dank der tollen Unterkunft hatten wir sehr entspannte Tage in Nizza.
We, little man - little woman - Baby, were allowed to spend in the apartment of a Sabine wonderful few days. The accommodation, which is furnished with great attention to detail, was perfect for our needs. The transfer was made by Patricia, a friend of Sabine, and went smoothly. Because Nice is a small-size town lies the apartment very central but very quiet. It has great shopping and restaurants nearby. We were very pleased and can in good conscience recommend Sabines apartment on!
Wir, Männlein - Weiblein - Baby, durften ein paar wundervolle Tage in der Wohnung von Sabine verbringen. Die Unterkunft, welche mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet ist, war perfekt für unsere Bedürfnisse. Die Übergabe wurde durch Patricia, eine Freundin von Sabine, vorgenommen und verlief reibungslos. Da Nizza eine kleine überschaubare Stadt ist liegt die Wohnung sehr zentral jedoch sehr ruhig. Es hat gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants in der Nähe. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können Sabines Wohnung mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen!
First time we have used Wimdu, and we are very pleased. Satisfied with the booking and pleased with host Sabine, which we found very accommodating and pleasant. And responded quickly to emails with all my questions. The apartment responded to expectations and was very well presented. Everything you needed was in the apartment. Good bed too. We will be happy again.
Første gang vi har brukt Wimdu, og vi er kjempefornøyde. Fornøyd med bookingen og fornøyd med verten Sabine, som vi fant veldig imøtekommende og hyggelig. Og som svarte raskt på mailene med alle spørsmålene mine. Leiligheten svarte til forventningene, og lå veldig sentralt til. Alt du trengte, var i leiligheten. God seng også. Vi kommer gjerne igjen.

Why Is a Rack Called a Rack?
Why is a rack called a rack?The word "rack" has about two dozen definitions, from destruction, to a scud of clouds, to a cut of juicy ribs, to a most buoyant part of the female anatomy capitalized on by the "restaurant" Hooters. My favorite definition, and the one that seems most apropos, is that from Ambrose Bierce. In his Devil's Dictionary he said a rack was "An argumentative implement formerly much used in persuading devotees of a false faith to embrace the living truth." Alternately, we might consider the first definition from the Oxford American Dictionary, which says a "rack" is "a framework for hanging things on." That sorta makes sense, but whatever. Gear Guy has spoken!

The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
Signs of Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
The Signs from the Islamic Resources 5
54. Poverty and Hunger
The poor will grow in number. (Amal al-Din al-Qazwini, Mufid al-`Uulum wa Mubid al-Humum)
Gains will be shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor. (Tirmidhi)
Three years before the appearance of the Dajjal, there will be exceedingly stressful days and hunger will rule … (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 220)
Many hadiths of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) mention the poverty and hunger that people will suffer before the Mahdi comes. Of course, poverty and hunger have existed throughout history, but the poverty of the End Times will increase enormously all over the world. This situation will herald Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming.
Today, many people live without sufficient amounts food and water, as well as in unhealthy conditions all over the world. While most of these people are located in Africa, Asia, and South America, they are also quite numerous in such rich counties as America and those of western Europe. As only a small portion of people live in great prosperity, nearly 2 billion live below the poverty line. This article, written at the start of the year 2000, explains the global situation, as follows:
As we enter the new millennium, we bring with us a world in which 35,000 children die each day from causes related to poverty. That is one child dying every 2.5 seconds. We face a world in which the total number of people below the poverty line is growing each year, and now stands at around 1.5 billion. This is greater than the population of China, four times the entire population of the European Union.The combined wealth of the world's richest three families… is more than the annual income of 600 million people in the least developed countries. Moreover, in more than 80 of the world's poorest countries per capita income is lower today than it was 10 years ago.32
In the world today, poverty has reached alarming proportions. A recent report by UNICEF stated that one in four people live in "unimaginable suffering and want."33 Moreover 3 billion people struggle to survive on less than $2 a day.34 Approximately 1.3 billion people lack safe water, and 2.6 billion people are without access to adequate sanitation.35
According to a report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), for the year 2000, 826 million people did not have enough to eat. In other words, one in six people are hungry.36
Over the last 10 years, the injustice of income distribution has increased more than one can imagine. Reports by the United Nations show that in 1960, the income of the 20% of the world's population living in the richest countries was 30 times greater than that of the 20% in the poorest countries. In 1995, it was 82 times greater.37 As an example of the collapse of social justice, the combined wealth of the world's 225 richest individuals is equal to the annual income of the poorest 47%.38
Such current statistical data point to what the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said about the increase of poverty. The hadiths reveal that poverty and hunger will be among the signs of the End Times' first period. Obviously, this period describes conditions in our day. If we look at past centuries, we see that the difficulties and anxiety brought about by drought, war, and other calamities were temporary and limited to a particular region. However, today, poverty and the difficulty of earning a living are permanent and endemic.
Certainly our Lord, Who has endless compassion and mercy, does not wrong people. Indeed, this unjust state of affairs shows clearly that the world is stratified on the basis of selfishness and greed rather than on religion, moral values, and conscience.
Indeed, with the verse, "Corruption has appeared in both land and sea because of what people's own hands have brought about, so that they may taste something of what they have done, so that hopefully they will turn back" (Surat ar-Rum, 30:41), God informs us that the reason for this corruption is humanity's turning away from His religion.
With the dawning of the Golden Age, all of these problems will disappear. Hunger and poverty will give way to wealth and plenty. In that age, nobody will be poor or needy, for religion will be lived in the manner God describes in the Qur'an and people will share their goods with those in need, as revealed in the verse, "And beggars and the destitute received a due share of their wealth" (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 51:19). In any case, it is impossible for some people to be wealthy and others to be poor in a society that lives by Islamic values. If a person believes, then that person will be afraid of falling into the position of "nor did he urge the feeding of the poor. Therefore, here today he has no friend" (Surat al-Haqqa, 69:34-35). This is a means by which great social justice, well-being, and plenty can come about in society.
55. Drought
During the three years just before the Dajjal comes, there will be one year when the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the Earth one-third of its fruits. In the second year the sky will withhold two-thirds of its rain, and the Earth two-thirds of its fruits. In the third year all of its fruits, and all the animals will die. (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal)
As the hadith reveals, a global drought will occur before the Dajjal's appearance. Indeed, the threat of drought, a consequence of global warming today, influences many parts of our world. A UN report issued in 2001 states the seriousness of the situation:
"The Century of Hunger Knocks at the Door"
In the 21st century, climate changes resulting from global warming will bring hunger.
The detrimental dimensions of global warming, which may be the greatest yet unrecognized threat to humanity, will escalate in the 21st century. According to the recent UN report, scientists predict global warming will make the 21st century also an "age of hunger" and warn that these changes will make the diminishment of crops in Asia unavoidable …
Again according to the report, global warming will result in diminished amounts of rain and crops, [and the growth of] desertification and flash floods. The scientists also warned that small islands and countries will suffer seriously from the consequences of global warming.39
Some of the newspaper headlines about drought in recent years are as follows:
Every year, 100 million hectares of fertile areas become extinct.
More than 1 billion people in 110 countries are vulnerable to desertification. Before it is too late, an efficient program has to be launched to cope with the problem. (02.09.2003 www.ntvmsnbc.com)
The Theme of the World Environment Day of this Year Is "Water"
The UN has called attention to the problem of water on the Day of Environment, stressing the importance of the issue with the headline: "Water: Two billion people are dying for it." (05.06.2003 www.ntvmsnbc.com)
The American West Is Vulnerable to Drought
Due to global warming, some sectors of the population in the American West are becoming increasingly vulnerable to drought.
Safe Water Problem May Last until 2025
Authorities warned that humanity may suffer from a safe water problem until the year 2025. (17.10.2002 www.ntvmsnbc.com)
Drought Alarm around the World
Until the year 2025, a lack of safe water will threaten one-third of the world's population. (15.08.2001 www.ntvmsnbc.com)
56. A Weakening Economy in Specific Years
People will prosper until the ninety-fifth year, that is, their business will prosper. In the ninety-seventh and the ninety-ninth year, their possessions will go to waste ... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 54)
This hadith contains detailed information about the economic situation during the Golden Age.
It is highly probable that "ninety-fifth year" refers to the year 1995, a period when people had a relatively better life and its conditions had not become so difficult. Indeed, as described in the hadith, during that year people had enough income to earn a living and had some possessions. However, during 1997-99 the economy deteriorated, poverty spread, and possessions lost their value. Such an event can happen very quickly, as exemplified by Argentina's recent economic crisis.
57. The Cutting of Trade and Roads
When trade and roads are cut and strife multiplies ... (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p.52)
Before the Mahdi appears, trade and roads between nations will be cut and strife among people will grow. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 39)
Despite the commercial and economic cooperation between countries in our day, security concerns hinder many commercial activities. We can see this in the difficulties faced by those who want to transport the Caspian region's underground riches to other regions. Disputes and tensions elsewhere hinder similar economic cooperation opportunities and thereby limit commercial activities.
58. Decreased Earnings
Everyone complaining about decreased earnings... the rich respected for their money... (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 146)
Stagnation in the markets, a reduction in earnings… (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 148)
A man will proceed with his money to the various parts of the Earth [for a business trip] and will comment after his return: "I didn't earn any profit." (Hakim)
Economic distress is one of the most important problems of many countries today. People fail to earn their living and, in some cases, cannot find any buyer for their goods. In some countries where governments have to fight against poverty and unequal distributions of income, this situation shakes the social order and becomes a major source of chaos. Argentina is one of the most recent examples of such economic collapse.
59. The Division of National Wealth among the Rich
The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: "If my ummah bears fifteen traits, tribulation will befall it." Someone asked, "What are they, O Messenger of God?" He said: "... when the booty [i.e., national wealth] is taken in ruin and property given in trust as spoil..." (Tirmidhi)
This portent of Doomsday is seen all over the world today. As the world's wealthiest people control a large part of the world's wealth, billions of people are condemned to live in poverty and hunger. This is most clear in Africa, where millions of people live in poverty and hunger.
In its 2003 reports, the International Work Organization declared that 2 billion people survive on $1 a day and that approximately 1 billion people struggle to survive on $2 a day. In a press release, the organization declared that the gap between the poorest 20% of the world's population and the richest 20% of the world's population doubled during the last 40 years.40
Basing itself on Forbes magazine, the Turkish daily Radikal reported that "the top 400 richest Americans" had a combined wealth of $1.2 trillion, which is six times the total of Turkey's national revenue. The wealth of Bill Gates, who for a long time was the wealthiest man in America, is estimated to surpass the total national revenue of Peru, a country with 25 million people. Meanwhile, it is one-third of Turkey's national revenue, which is around $200 billion. The same report mentioned that the personal income of Warren Buffet, more than $28 billion, is more than the national revenue of Kuwait, an oil-rich country with a population of more than 2 million. Ted Turner, who ranks twenty-first on the list, is worth $9.1 billion, an amount that equals the national revenue of Panama, which has a population of 2.7 million people. This picture reveals that on the national and international levels, the poor become even poorer and more numerous, whereas the wealthy have become even richer. The total amount of wealth held by the 400 people on the list increased by 20% in one year.41
On 2 February 2003, the Turkish daily newspaper Aksam illustrated the inequality of income around the world in the following terms:
The most important problem of the world: According to the World Development Report of 2003, the inequality of income among countries is growing even deeper. The report indicates that the most important problem of development on the world agenda is to find jobs for the three million people whose daily income is less than 2 dollars a day, in order to make them individuals who can contribute to production and to provide them better a quality of life. One of the foremost factors threatening world peace today is global poverty.
This situation is a sign of the End Times, as related in our Prophet's (may God bless him and grant him peace) hadiths. By our Lord's Will, this situation heralds the closeness of the coming of the Mahdi, Prophet Jesus (pbuh), and the Golden Age, a time when people will not suffer from such misery. In the Golden Age, the world's situation will be just the reverse, for people will fully abide by the Qur'an's morality.
As God orders in the Qur'an:
… so that it [booty] does not become something that merely revolves between the rich among you. Whatever the Messenger gives you you should accept, and whatever he forbids you you should forgo. Have fear of God – God is severe in retribution. (Surat al-Hashr, 59:7)
60. An Increase in the Number of Earthquakes
No other natural event affects people as strongly as earthquakes, for they can happen anywhere and at any moment. Throughout history, they have caused many deaths and great material loss. For this reason, they are greatly feared. Even modern technology has been able to prevent earthquake-related damage only to a certain extent.
The 1995 earthquake in Kobe serves as an example to those who mistakenly think that technology will one day harness nature. This earthquake caused massive and unexpected damage to Japan's largest industrial and transportation center. Although it only lasted 20 seconds, as Time reported, it caused about $100 billion worth of damage.43
The Hour [Last Day] will not be established until ... earthquakes will be very frequent. (Sahih Bukhari)
There are two great events before the Day of Judgment ... and then years of earthquakes. (Ramuz al-Ahadith, p.187, no.2)
The days when you can find no homes to shelter you, or animals to carry you, have come close. Earthquakes will demolish your houses. (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 146)
There will be disagreements and frequent earthquakes. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-Ashrat al-Sa'ah, p. 166)
In the last few years, major earthquakes have occurred repeatedly and are among the foremost fears of people. According to the data collected by the American National Earthquake Information Center for 1999, we find that 20,832 earthquakes took place and killed an estimated 22,711 people.44
When past figures are examined, we see that the number of earthquakes was quite low. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports, the number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or greater on the Richter scale that took place during the 400 years between 1556-1975 was only 110; between 1980-2003, the number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater on the Richter scale was 1,685.45 These figures reveal that the number of earthquakes had increased by the beginning of the year Hijri 1400.
The Qur'an contains certain verses that point out the relation between earthquakes and the End Times. Surat al-Zilzal, the Chapter of the Great Shaking (earthquake), is composed of eight verses that describe the ground's violent shaking. It further states that this seismic activity will be followed by the Day of Judgment, the Resurrection, and everyone being called to account for their deeds by God, Who then will reward or punish them according to His absolute justice:
When Earth is convulsed with its quaking, and then disgorges its charges, and man asks:
"What is wrong with it?"
On that Day, it will impart all of its news, because your Lord has inspired it.
On that Day, people will emerge segregated to see the results of their actions.
On that Day, people will emerge segregated to see the results of their actions.
On that Day, people will emerge segregated to see the results of their actions. (Surat al-Zilzal, 99:1-8)
61. Earth's Collapse
The first sign of the Hour is Earth's collapse. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 518)
When the latter generations of these people insult the former ones, expect red winds, Earth's collapse, or the raining of stones from the heavens. (Tirmidhi)
At the End Times, when entertainment and dancers pervade and drinking is considered permissible, Earth will collapse, stones will pour [from the sky], and people will strip off their humane qualities. (Ahmad Diya'al-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, vol. 2, p. 302, no. 8)
62. Conversion of Homes into Graves
He asked: "What becomes of you when death meets people and homes become graves?" (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 392, no. 726)
63. Winds and Tornadoes
Doomsday will not happen until 10 portents are seen. The tenth is a tornado that will hurl people into the sea ... (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 288)
The tenth is a wind that will hurl people into the sea ... (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 288)
Natural disasters also destroy major cities. Statistics reveal that our time has seen an increase in both the number and the seriousness of natural disasters. In the last 10 years, disasters caused by climactic changes have become a novel phenomenon. A dangerous and unwanted byproduct of the Industrial Age is global warming. Industry is gradually disturbing the balance in the world's atmosphere, giving rise to climactic changes. According to the American National Climatic Data Center, many disasters occurred in 1998.46 For example, several observers called Hurricane Mitch one of Central America's worst natural disasters.47 This hurricane hit Honduras and Nicaragua on 26th October 1998, and killed more than 10,000 people.48
The following are the most important disasters arising from climactic changes that have occurred in recent years:
On October 1987, the largest storm since 1703 hit southeast England. Around 15 million trees were felled, a great part of the forests disappeared, 16 people died, buildings were damaged, and ships were driven on to shore.49
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused around $0.5 billion worth of damage in the Gulf of Mexico alone. Damage in the Bahamas was estimated at $0.25 billion, and around 2 million people living along the eastern coast of America evacuated their homes.50
Approximately 500 to 1,000 people were killed by the storms that hit western Bangladesh on 13 May 1996. A further 30,000 people were injured and 100,000 people lost their homes.
On 27 March 1997, 27 people died in a tornado that hit Texas.
On 20 May 1998, 12 people died in a tornado that hit Georgia, USA.
The floods that affected middle and eastern Europe on August 2002 caused 114 casualties. During the severest hurricane of the last 40 years in South Korea on September 21, 2003, around 200 people died only in 2 days.51
In the last few years, hurricanes, storms, typhoons, and other such disasters have devastated quite a few areas. In addition, floods have caused mudslides that then engulfed entire villages or parts of cities. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves also have caused great devastation. All of this destruction is an important sign.

Soaring sales of its equipment to protect buildings and bridges from earthquake and wind damage helped push Taylor Devices' first-quarter profits up by 49 percent, the North Tonawanda shock absorber manufacturer said Thursday.
The big jump in profits was fueled by a 60 percent surge in the company's sales, especially for projects in both the United States and the Far East that are including the company's dampers to help buildings and bridges better withstand earthquakes or high winds.
Taylor Devices' profits strengthened to $607,817, or 18 cents per share, during the quarter that ended in August, up from $408,117, or 13 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company's sales grew even faster, rising to $7.3 million, from $4.6 million a year ago.
Most of the jump in sales came from Taylor Devices' construction business, where revenues almost doubled to $4.8 million, or almost two-thirds of the company's total sales. But the company's other businesses also had double-digit sales increases, with revenues rising by 22 percent to $1.9 million at its aerospace and defense products unit and by 11 percent at its industrial products segment.
Taylor Devices' sales to U.S. customers, which accounted for a little more than half of the company's overall revenues, jumped by 73 percent to $3.8 million. Revenues from Asian contracts grew by 56 percent to $2.9 million, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At the end of August, the company said it had 148 orders in its backlog, which was 12 percent more than a year ago, although the value of that work was down 37 percent at $13.8 million.
The company is in the midst of a $2.5 million expansion project that is expected to more than double its manufacturing space by the end of the year and ease a space crunch, especially for its large parts machining and assembly operations.
Taylor Devices has purchased three industrial buildings located about 1.4 miles from its current facilities on Tonawanda Island.
Those buildings are being renovated into production space that will house all of its machining and metalworking operations.
The company plans to keep its assembly and product testing areas at its existing plant on Tonawanda Island, but those operations will have much more space because of the area freed up by the relocated production facilities.
Taylor Devices' engineering and corporate offices also are staying at the Tonawanda Island building.
"The expansion of our manufacturing facilities is continuing on schedule and we expect the entire process to be completed as planned and within budget," said Douglas P. Taylor, the company's president.

In the far northern region of the Kruger Park, is an unspoilt wilderness where a classic lodge experience provides tented accommodation in a remote location away from the crowds, making this the ultimate option for a tranquil South African safari break.
Our 3 day Birders Paradise package is based on a 2 night stay at a Classic Lodge in the Kruger Park. The lodge offers fabulous views and is an ideal destination for birding enthusiasts.
The Birders Paradise Safari is the ultimate classic lodge experience in terms of being in a very quiet and remote region and therefore creating the feeling of being completely alone in the African bush. As the lodge is in a private wilderness concession you will come across very few travelers, allowing for an exclusive adventure.
During your safaris, your private guide will focus on pointing out many species of birds and share his intimate knowledge of the natural environment.
After collecting your rental car from the airport, it is a 7 hour drive north to the furthermost corner of Kruger National Park where your lodge is situated. It is therefore suggested that you depart early so that you can still do your first afternoon game drive today. Check in is followed by a light lunch and then it is off into the private wilderness concession with your guide on a game drive. This region of Kruger National Park is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and you can look forward to an evening around the fire listening to interesting folklore shared by your guide.
An early morning wake-up call begins the day as you head out on the morning game drive with your private guide. The area offers diverse sightings set against the beauty of the Kruger wilderness. Brunch is a leisurely affair and you have the rest of the morning and afternoon to enjoy the absolute tranquility. Relax in the African Wilderness or try to spot one of the many species of birds with your ranger. Your late afternoon and evening safari will be between 3 - 4 hours which allows for ample time to see some of the many shy wildlife only coming out at night. A traditional dinner will be served on your return to the lodge.
Your last early morning wake- up call, followed by a 3-4 hour morning open safari vehicle game before returning to the lodge for breakfast. This marks the end of your 3 day Birders Paradise package in Kruger Park and you are ready for the return journey to Johannesburg.

Monterey was established along the central California coast, and served as the capital of Alta California from 1777 to 1846. The city was the home of California's first public library and public school, and even its first newspaper. Monterey is more widely known today for the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and John Steinbeck's Cannery Row.
Take a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway and explore the natural beauty of Monterey Bay and Big Sur. To find a sandy beach you can have (nearly) all to yourself, search for the somewhat hidden Garrapata Beach. Watch sea otters, elephant seals, and pelicans at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. You can even see some of these creatures up-close on a scuba dive. Walk the grounds of historic Monterey's Mission Basilica and learn about the history of Spanish and Mexican California.
Head to Loulou's Griddle in the Middle for a large stack of fresh berry griddlecakes or rich crab cakes and eggs. Dine on fresh and seasonal seafood at Monterey's Fish House. Start with oysters on the half shell or saut�ed mussels and then move on to an oak grilled salmon or snapper.

Two clerks were arrested for illegal sales of alcoholic beverages to persons younger than 21 on Superbowl Sunday, state police at Clarence said.
Aided by personnel from the State Liquor Authority, troopers checked on 12 stores in the towns of Wales, Marilla, Alden and Clarence.
Superbowl Sunday "is traditionally marked by increased alcohol consumption," a state police statement said.
One arrest was made at Ron's Gas-Rite on Broadway in Alden, where clerk Sandra Lukasczyak, 56, of Alden, was charged with prohibited sale to a person under 21. She was given a ticket to appear later in Alden Town Court.
The other arrest was made at Red Apple Kwik Fill on Main Street in Clarence, where Stacey Delano, 37, of Clarence, was given a ticket to appear in Clarence Town Court.
Investigators said no violations were observed at the other 10 stores and gas stations that they checked.

West Virginians on Nov. 6 will choose between incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.; Republican John Raese; and Mountain Party member Bob Henry Baber for U.S. Senate.
Manchin previously served as governor of West Virginia from 2005-10, when he won a special election to fill the seat of the late Sen. Robert Byrd. He also served four years in the state Senate, six years in the House and as Secretary of State.
"We need to get our nation's fiscal house in order," Manchin said. "We need to come together, across party lines, to find ways to balance the budget. It is going to take everyone working together, but I know it can be done.
"We did it in West Virginia when I was governor and we can do it now. All we need to do is put politics aside, come together and put America first. The partisanship in Washington has created a toxic atmosphere, where it is difficult to get much accomplished. But I'm optimistic that it can be done."
West Virginia has been "blessed with common sense," he said. He seeks that same common sense in Washington.
"I have had the opportunity to see my state in so many facets - in both private and public life - and I understand the issues that West Virginians face," he said.
"I have never forgotten, nor will I ever forget, where I come from and I'm extremely proud of it.
"I examine every piece of legislation and consider its effect on our state and its people. ... Most of the bills I have introduced are bipartisan in nature because that's the only way we can get anything done. I am willing to work with anyone to do what is best for our state."
Raese holds a degree in education from WVU and has served as chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party.
"America has inched steadily toward a tipping point," Raese said. "We are at a time when government intervention and interference has created such a tremendous drag on the economy and our way of life that a reversal is impossible. We have seen an attack on our money, our power, and, worst of all, our freedoms.
"I believe the greatest challenge facing our nation is the rising national debt due to out-of-control spending. In order to curb our spending problem, we must balance the budget and return our monetary system to where it should be. This can be done by lowering taxes and growing the economy. By lowering taxes, it will allow for more jobs to be created and will alleviate the burdens on families and businesses."
And one member of the U.S. Senate can help make life better for all Americans, he said.
"I believe I can make a difference for our state and our country by standing up to make the hard decisions and cast the necessary votes to ensure a better life for my family, for you - and for your family," he said.
"I will not pledge an allegiance to Washington, I will only serve the people of West Virginia.
"Because of my experience in the private sector, I understand how to create jobs. ... As your U.S. senator, I will work to reverse the devastating policies the Obama administration has enacted ... especially Obamacare."
He is director of the West Virginia Veteran's Legacy Project.
He also was the recipient of the 2007 National Wilderness Society Hero Award.

quote: I'm surprised to hear you say that. I figured you'd be more on the lines of "the dealerships do not have a "right" to someone else's profits". Why should a company be forced to use a dealership business model, if it will hurt their profitability?
quote: When you are fighting 100-year old companies, with a product that challenges one of the most - if not THE most, powerful industries in the world, I think you are entitled to try to play by the same rules.
quote: Cars are something you purchase once every 5-10 years, right? By the time you want to buy a new one, all the models and prices and a fair amount of the technology have changed. Consequently, it's difficult for any individual buyer to accurately gauge the actual value of a car. On top of that, people tend to "fall in love" with one particular make or model. That type of situation is vulnerable to the manufacturer artificially inflating prices. If all Fords are sold directly to individuals, and Ford is in charge of direct pricing, and the individuals don't really know the value of the cars, it's pretty easy for them to ratchet up the price without the individuals figuring out they're being ripped off.
quote: Also, nobody is proposing that we abolish all car dealers. They could still exist, they just won't be required to exist by law.

WASHINGTON – The inspector general at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs should launch an independent investigation into the reuse of insulin pens at the Buffalo VA Medical Center, Sen. Charles E. Schumer and Rep. Brian Higgins said Tuesday.
Noting that the use of the insulin delivery devices could have exposed 716 patients at the hospital to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, Schumer and Higgins wrote separately to George J. Opfer, the VA inspector general, to request the probe.
"We must use all available resources to ensure that we find out what happened in this case and prevent any future incidents," Schumer wrote. "Our veterans and heroes deserve this and more."
Higgins agreed, saying: "We must evaluate the root causes of this unthinkable error, identify who is responsible for this systematic failure, better understand if it is an isolated incident or representative of widespread problems and ensure it never happens again."
Schumer and Higgins asked the inspector general to determine how the reuse of the insulin pens happened, why the problem went undetected for two years and why it took the hospital more than two months to disclose the problem.
The VA told local members of Congress about the reuse of the insulin pens last Friday – even though the practice was discovered, and ended, last Nov. 1.
Schumer told Opfer that delay was a matter of grave concern.
"It is also unacceptable that it took the VA over two months to notify the potentially affected patients, the public, and our federal government officials," Schumer wrote. The sooner veterans are tested for any virus or condition, he said, the sooner they can be monitored and treated.
The VA has said the risk of infection stemming from the used insulin pens is extremely small, and far smaller than it would have been if needles had been reused.
Still, Schumer and Higgins said a full investigation is in order, and that the VA needs to implement clear policies that will prevent such grave errors from recurring.
"The VA has a duty to ease the fears and health concerns of those who serve this nation, but this situation has done quite the opposite," Higgins said in his letter to Opfer. "The people of Western New York, especially our veterans, deserve much better from their government."

Bill O'Brien's had a decision to make between Tyler Ferguson and Christian Hackenberg to determine which would be Penn State's starting quarterback when the Nittany Lions open the season on Saturday against Syracuse.
A former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL starter thinks things could get even tougher for O'Brien when Michael O'Connor enrolls in January. Of course, it would be the kind of problem a college football coach can only hope to have.
"Here's a kid who is coming in, he'll be well-prepared, and he'll fit in well in that environment, especially now," said Chris Weinke, who coaches the 6-foot-5, 225-pound O'Connor at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. "When you're looking at a guy like this in a pro-style offense, he fits perfectly. He's got all the tools.
"I felt when I first worked with him a summer ago I thought there was huge potential. I felt he had the ability to be very special. In my experience, over the course of the spring, he continued to get better."
Judging by O'Connor's performance in IMG's first-ever game on Saturday, it doesn't look like Weinke was just propping up his protege. O'Connor completed 10-of-18 passes for 162 yards and a couple of touchdowns in the Ascenders' 38-0 pasting.
O'Connor connected with six different receivers.
At the age of 28 after spending several years playing minor league baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays organization, Weinke returned to football and won the Heisman Trophy in 1998 while leading Florida State to the national championship. Then he went on to play seven years in the NFL, setting a Carolina Panthers' record with 423 yards passing in a game in 2001.
Since leaving the pros, Weinke's spent time working with prospects and current NFL quarterbacks, like the Miami Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill. He thinks O'Connor could be a player who develops quickly.
"He's a smart guy. He understands the game. He sees the field well," Weinke said. "From a physical standpoint, six-five, 225 pounds, he can make all the throws. As good as he was, he's gotten better with his accuracy and his ability to throw the ball with anticipation.
"What I've seen from him is a guy who is coachable, who picks up things very well and has improved dramatically just in terms of his mechanics, being able to get rid of the ball quick. He's got great feet for a big guy and I think he will continue to get better and develop over the course of the next five or six months prior to his entry to Penn State in January."
Weinke said he runs a similar offense at IMG - a fully-accredited high school of 800 students for athletes from all over the world - that O'Brien utilizes, and that should help O'Connor's learning curve even more.
Judging by his comments after he committed to Penn State in late June, he's counting on that.
"It was just a great fit for me," O'Connor, 17, told the Ottawa Sun. "They've got a great business program, a pro-style offense, the coach is Bill O'Brien, and they only have two scholarship QBs so I can go in and compete right away."
A consensus four-star prospect, O'Connor also had a list of offers that included Michigan State, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Missouri, South Florida, Southern Mississippi, Buffalo, Toledo and Akron.
"The recruiting process was a great learning experience for me, and in the end, I am confident in my decision to commit to Penn State," O'Connor said to the Bradenton Herald. "Coach O'Brien continues to recruit a standout collection of athletes, and I am both honored and eager to become an immediate contributor in 2014."
The sanctions facing Penn State didn't deter O'Connor, either. Depending on whether or not he is redshirted next year, he might only miss out on being bowl eligible for one season. Penn State still will face scholarship restrictions for most of his time at University Park, unless the NCAA reverses itself.
"I think they have handled it very well," O'Connor said in an interview with the Ottawa Citizen. "They're moving forward. They're still recruiting great classes, and they're still moving forward."
O'Connor actually is from Toronto, Canada. He made a big name for himself on the camp circuit, then played last season at Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn.
"If you're a good Canadian athlete, it's sad, but you can't stay in Canada and achieve your full potential," O'Connor said to USA Today. "All the sports opportunities are down here in the states. That's why you're starting to see this more and more because there's starting to be more talent produced in Canada, but they're going south because that's where the coaching and the exposure is."
"I don't think the adjustment to the U.S. game is a factor anymore. He's been around here long enough. He understands it very well," Weinke said. "The key is really consistency in staying sound in your mechanics and the, for him, to continue to get experience. There's no substitute for experience. I think what we'll see over the course of his senior year is him continue to get better."
Weinke said that, along with consistency, mastering leadership and the intangibles would be the focus for O'Connor as he worked to meet his potential.
"From day one in spring practice until the last day in spring practice, I saw huge improvements," Weinke said. "The last week of spring practice was his best, by far, mentally and physically."

Wouldn't life be easier if everyone just walked around with a big sign listing things they love, things they hate and things they don't give one whoop about?
Anybody? No?
So it IS just me. Here's the deal: Everyone has opinions and I'd like to know them going in, so to speak. That way I wouldn't get in trouble for saying, "Edward Snowden is a patriot who risked everything to inform the public," which may or may not cause the man next to me to scream and turn purple.
So… Here are some things I love:
Fireplaces.Puppy breath.Flirting with Widdle.Thunderstorms.Eating in restaurants.My straight friends, my gay friends--any friend who forgives my sins.Moving. Yes, moving.Happy perfume.Being an American.Warm feet.Damien Rice, Dolly Parton, Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, the Avett Brothers, Steve Earle and Corrine Bailey Rae.Book clubs.Saucony running shoes.Painting a wall.Traveling (which I don't do much of lately because we have very old parents and a very old dog.)David Sedaris.Fishing."Modern Family," "Law & Order SVU" marathons and "Cheers" and "MASH" re-runs.Playing cards.Bible study groups.Exercise.Old cookbooks.Local theatre.Sun Chips, cucumber salad, Craisin cookies, spinach dip, peanut butter, fresh pineapple, oatmeal, soy burgers, blueberry pancakes and pepper jack cheese (which I don't eat since I gave up dairy.)Pinot grigio. Ice cold."Mississippi Burning," "Goodfellas"and "O Brother Where Art Thou."Wrapping presents.Browsing real estate ads.Facebook.Tickling my dog.Decorating blogs.Reading presidential biographies, celebrity memoirs and maritime history.Featherbeds.Thrift stores, junk shops and Craigslist.Brunch.Flying. The airport is a pain, but I LOVE to fly.Hammocks.Sleeping.Going to the movies. DVDs are fine, but I prefer the full popcorn/previews/sitting in the dark with strangers experience.Folding laundry.Window-shopping for clothes, jewelry and furniture I'll never buy.Oak trees.Allrecipes.com.Men (and women) in uniform.Tunnels.San Francisco; Maine; Asheville; San Antonio; Knoxville; and Key West.Now for Part 2: Hate is such a negative word. So let's just say I "strongly dislike, to the point of nausea":
Spending money.Asparagus.Ironing.Getting rained on.Frogs.Leaving a party. I always feel like such a buzzkill.Music boxes.Reality TV.Crowds.Talking on the telephone.Wet feet.Vacuuming.Broken shoelaces.Saying goodbye at airports.Movies depicting violence against women.Pudding.Wearing bracelets.Outlook Express. What was wrong with Hotmail?And finally, here are things I don't give one whoop about…
Soap operas.My sleep number.Cats.Chocolate.Tattoos/ body piercings.Amtrak.Naps.The beach.Golf.There you have it. Whoops, I left off one "love": Making lists. But you knew that already.

"I throw the ball to first base. Whoever it is grabs the ball, so the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to What, What throws it to I Don't Know, I Don't Know throws it back to Tomorrow - triple play." --Lou Costello
מאת Antinous 11 בספטמבר, 2003
In baseball: When three outs are made in one inning. There must be at least two base runners and no outs for it to occur. They are very uncommon, but are a great thing to see, especially when you're favorite team gets out of a jam.
Harry Kalas: The score is 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth between the Cardinals and the Phillies with the Phillies leading. The Cardinals have the bases loaded with no one out, so Phillies closer Billy Wagner is in a jam. Pujols steps to the plate. IT'S SMOKED TO THIRD BASE! Bell steps on the bag and throws towards second! Utley makes the throw to first...GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!! THE PHILLIES WIN IT!!!!! IT WILL BE SCORED A 5-4-3 TRIPLE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!

The Triple Play involves sitting down on the toilet, and participating in: urinating, defecating, and masturbating. Thereby, as is the act in Baseball, by making a Triple Play one has performed the act of making three outs in the same continuous play.
Person 1: Woah! What took you so long in there? I don't know anybody who takes that long in the bathroom!
Person 2: Well, I was performing a Triple Play..

Five Buffalo-area school districts listed as purchasing Farm Rich food products for their student cafeterias reported Wednesday that the items are no longer being served and have been eliminated from their inventories. Rich Products Corp. has recalled frozen pizza, quesadillas, mozzarella bites and other snacks because of possible E. coli contamination.
The schools are Akron Central, Amherst Central, Depew, Frontier Central in Hamburg and Sweet Home Central in Amherst.
A statement posted on the Depew school website said seven cases of Pizzata pizza pockets from Rich Products were destroyed, and none has been ordered this year.
Frontier said it had purchased none of the recalled products this year and added, "A very popular item on our menu, breaded mozzarella stix, is NOT part of their recall list and we will continue to offer this item as a lunch choice."
Sweet Home reported on its website that school lunch director Sandra Cocca and her staff found nine cases of Pizza Dippers that were ordered last year and destroyed them, adding that they have not been served recently because they do not meet federal nutrition guidelines.

A bad ass character from a bad ass movie, the 1986 action film Cobra, starring Sylvester Stallone as Cobra. In that movie Cobra is a bad ass who wears Fingerless gloves and eats pizza with scissors.
Cobra is such an awesome movie because of the character Cobra. There should have been sequels to Cobra, because Cobra was such an awesome character.
