Home > Our Impact > Country Profiles > Jordan
Jordan sits in the Middle East and borders Israel, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Highlands cover the western terrain, and deserts cover the eastern region. The lowest elevation on earth, the Dead Sea, lies along Jordan's western border.
Jordan has one of the smallest economies in the Middle East, mainly because the country's natural resources are quite limited. About 14 percent of Jordanians are unemployed, and more than 14 percent live below the poverty line. An influx of refugees has put even more strain on Jordan's resources and economy.
With limited water resources, Jordan cannot produce enough crops to feed its people. The World Food Program estimates that about 6 percent of the population is undernourished, and 4 percent of children under 5 are underweight.

World Vision is committed to partnering with the Iraqi refugees in Jordan to improve their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their children, families, and communities. Highlights of World Vision's work in Jordan include:
World Vision Jordan began as a liaison office supporting operations in Iraq in 2003. At the end of 2004, World Vision postponed operations inside Iraq, but continued to support work inside the country through local partners, via the liaison office in Jordan. Through local partners, it has assisted the refugees with supplementary feeding, healthcare, and informal education for Iraqi children. In 2008, World Vision launched an advocacy website focusing on children with no access to education or basic healthcare.
Geography and people
Jordan sits in the Middle East and borders Israel, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Highlands cover the western terrain, and deserts cover the eastern region. The lowest elevation on earth, the Dead Sea, lies along Jordan's western border.
Very little rain falls in the eastern deserts, while the west experiences some rain during the winter. Jordan's few natural resources include phosphates, limestone, and potassium products.
Jordanians are mostly of Arab descent, except for a few small communities of Armenians and Circassians. Also, about 1.8 million Palestinian refugees and several hundred thousand Iraqi refugees reside in Jordan. Arabic is the national language, but upper and middle class Jordanians often use English.
Jordan gained independence from Britain in 1946 and adopted its name in 1950. Many decades of hostilities with Israel ended in 1994 when the two countries signed a peace treaty. Following the coalition invasion of Iraq in 2003, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees came to Jordan.
A constitutional monarchy has ruled Jordan since its independence. The monarch usually elects a prime minister and cabinet, but the government held elections in 2007. The king still retains power to appoint new government officials.

Philadelphia Phillies (26-29) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (20-33)
Tyler Cloyd (1-1, 5.74) vs. Wily Peralta (3-6, 6.35)
TIME: 4:05, Citizens Bank Park
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Weather: 91, scattered clouds
The Phillies will look to avoid their third straight loss, and Tyler Cloyd will look to rebound from his worst outing of the season, in which he allowed six runs on nine hits and lasted just 2 1/3 innings against Boston. His location absolutely has to be spot on today against a tough offensive team. Offense is Milwaukee's strong point, not to mention another bat is all of the sudden in the mix for the Crew, as Jonathan Lucroy has heated up and is coming off a monster night last night where he went 5-for-5 with two homers and four RBI.
The Brewers, who have had starting pitching problems all year will send the right-hander Wily Peralta to the mound, who is the owner of a 6.35 ERA. No current Phillies player has ever had an at bat against Peralta, and the righty has allowed at least four runs in each of his last four starts for Milwaukee.
Red-hot Domonic Brown will be in the lineup for the Phillies looking to continue his out-of-this world power surge that has him sitting atop the N.L. in homers with 15. He will be batting third for the first time this year, as Jimmy Rollins will not be playing today due to soreness after fouling several pitches off his foot yesterday. Here is how the rest of the lineup looks:
Lineup: Revere CF, Hernandez 2B, Brown LF, Howard 1B, D. Young RF, Frandsen SS, Kratz C, Galvis 3B, Cloyd P
Gameday Beer: Fegley's Brewworks Bagpiper's Scotch Ale
Brewed locally in the Lehigh Valley, perhaps this malty, smoky ale will bring former IronPig, and 2012 International League Pitcher of the Year some succes today with the big club. This ale, which is brewed with a bit of scotch, features some caramel, roasted barley and earthy tones, and at 8.5% ABV, if the Phillies do have a bad game you might not even remember it.

BROWN IS HITTING THIRD!!! Hallelujah!!
3 at bats and no one on base for him..he will be back at 6 when Rollins, Young and Utley are playing..terrible lineup today..
Yes, but unfortunately Delmon Young is still in the lineup and in RF.
Delmon Young has cost the Phillies 3 runs today with his defense or lack thereof. The Phillies really have to use someone else in right field and restrict Young's duties to
The Phillies have to ditch Delmon Young and they have to ditch Ben Revere. I can't explain how he hit .290 last year but he hasn't shown me for 5 minutes he can handle major league pitcthng. Ground out…ground out….ground out …..ground out…..ground out…looks like a pitcher at the plate.
Funny..same thing was being said about Brown the last few years…someone needs to get Revere on the off days and stop all of his hand movement before he swings..he should be closer to the plate..taking pitches and a threat to bunt or slash the ball past a drawn in 3rd baseman..
What did you think wheh he hit .312 with a .361 OBP in May?
His ground ball rate fell from 76.7% in April to 54.8% in May.
His line drive rate increased from 11.0% in April to 32.3% in May.
I don't have a problem with ground balls..as a matter of fact if he could learn to hit them to the left of shortstop he would those out for hits..
Ok, but surely line drives are better than grounders.
Revere has a career .229 average and .467 OPS on grounders
.146 average and.445 OPS on fly balls
.683 average and 1.476 OPS on line drives
It was nice, but I honestly do not thin he will replicate it more than twice.
my favorite part of a Ben Revere Ab. when he loads up those hands to crush one….a 2 hopper to the SS….LOL…
Good time for a bomb Delmon..
No where near the slider…geez
Somebody within the organization needs to address the fact that the Phillies flat out stink.
The game is not even over and we have left 18 men on base. Good Christ!
Atta boy Freddy..need a rally here..
Ok…let's go Carlos..
Dammit Adams! Galvis's homer would have tied it. Dammit!
He dropped the ball..appeal it..
You have to be kidding me..
Are you as mystified as I am by what you are watching?
Delmon Young, along with his crappy bat and pi$$-poor defense, needs to take a trip of the falls of Niagra. C'mon Phils! Let's win this!
Walking Dom ..putting winning run on..because Chollie ran for Howard..
Mini Mart up with a .181 avg..you can't script this any worse!!
Why not have Mayberry pinch run for JRoll? Nah. That makes sense. Instead put in Kendrick. Jesus!
Chollie saved Mayberry for the at bat that never happened…brutal!
I believe Mayberry played 1B in the top of the 9th. He was in the on-deck circle.
Yes..you are correct..so Martinez got to hit before Mayberry.
The Phillies are run by idiots. Managed by idiots. And the game is played by idiots. It's kind of hard to win that way.
Everybody has a part in today's travesty. A horrible game from top to bottom.
Why limit it to today's travesty. The idiocy is responsible for the disappointment that is this season so far. When is enough enough? Ruben, Charlie, Delmon and Mini-Mart should all be ex-Phillies before tomorrow's first pitch.
You're right. But today's game was just the embodiment of all the screw-ups.
missed Revere's last ground out. Was it a 2 hopper or a 3 hopper?
He got the bunt down..good thing Segura didn't cover 2nd or Kendrick would of been thrown out…wth. Is it with pinch running pitchers in crucial situations that Chollie hasn't figured out..
Wow..there was 3 hours well spent..
Aaaarrrggghhh! Man, Hernandez's double would have sealed the win! Dammit, KK! Man, these guys are frustrating to watch. Sorry to be so negative, but we should be winning against a struggling Brew Crew.
Kk was dumb, but he was safe. Also, we don't know that Hernandez still hits a double if there's a runner on 2nd.
I agree. What we do know for certain is that Mini-mart, who was batting next, was the automatic out, making the blown call/ Kendrick not paying attention pick off that much more frustratin to watch knowing Mini, the harbinger of killing rallies and innings was up. So, if Hernandez had singled and KK was held at third, it still would have been for naught.

A Bay-Bay
Blue and Orange fits him well, don't ya think? Nah? I don't think so either.
Bay is quite the ball player and the baseball world has taken notice. I'm so proud that my favorite player is making the big bucks after proving himself worthy the past few years.
$66 million is a whole heck of a lot of money. Bay will make $16.5 million a year, playing for the Mets and he will be worth every penny.
Bay is the definition of a major league baseball player. He puts up the numbers, comes through in the clutch and is good with the fans and media. You really can't ask for anything greater than that when searching for a player to build your team around.
Bay batted for 100 RBIs and 30 home runs in back to back seasons with the Red Sox. In Pittsburgh he was just as productive with 2005 and 2006 being his best years when he belted over 30 HRs and 100 RBIs in each of those seasons. He has always flirted with the .300 mark in batting average making him one of the best combinations of power and average in the league. He has consistently hit above .900 is OPS in every season he has been in the MLB.
It was an absolute joy watching him play nearly 5 seasons in Pittsburgh. He was "the guy" for
the Pirates and fans flocked to him. There's no question Bay shirts and jerseys were the hottest selling Pirate item during his time here. His batting song "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed could be played miles around the Pittsburgh area and fans would recognize it mostly because it was played for Bay.
There is some skepticsm about the trading of Bay and the return we got for him, however it was necessary. There was no way the Pirates would be able to afford such a fine player. This was evident even with the amount the Red Sox paid him, which was at and above $6 million. My goodness I would love to be able to pay that much for a star player, seems like a peanut amount to you big market fans doesn't it?
I do think the Pirates unloaded him at the right time. Having been involved in a 3-way deal with the Dodgers, Red Sox and obviously the Pirates- Andy LaRoche, Brandon Moss and Bryan Morris and Craig Hanson (minor league relievers).
LaRoche and Moss were forced into starting positions and mostly underachieved. However, with a little time, patience and practice they very well could blossom to their full potential. Will either of them match the performance of Jason Bay? Probably not but good numbers
(.280, 20, 70) are definitely achievable in the pair.
Jason Bay is my favorite player. His outlook and demeanor are straightforward and welcoming. He isn't boastful with his abilities and his ego isn't inflated liek other players of his caliber. I do think he will fit in as a New Yorker, because he is so easy going. The bright lights of the Big Apple may be something new for him to adjust to, but the Trail, British Columbia knows what is at stake in a new surrounding. He may be on a short leash with fans if his performance falters, if so he will always have one fan who always has his back-ME.
Don't worry Jason, I'm planning your triumphant August 20th homecoming to PNC Park already!

Listening to his conference with the radio show host, he says the right things and seems like a good all-around guy, and reasonably intelligent. It's odd seeing him as a Met, but I suppose I'll have to get used to it really fast.
But it sounded like he was a bit uncomfortable with being the big star on the Pirates–it makes you wonder why he went to the Mets. They've got the names, but not much of a big lineup.
I'm still interested to see how well Moss and Hanson develop in Pittsburgh. Both were highly regarded in our minor leagues, and it is something of a test case of how well our minor leagues are doing in developing our talent.🙂
Insightful analysis as always, Matt. As a mild Mets fan myself I think this is a good move for the club. As for the Pirates, I like what they're doing … it's very Moneyball of them, and I think they got a steal in Iwamura.
Happy New Year to you too.
~ Will
I'm glad to hear you say you still consider Bay to be your favorite player. A lot of fans turn on guys who were traded or signed elsewhere for more money. He sounds like a solid person who will do well in NY.
August 20th? Maybe I'll see you there. I road tripped there in 2007. Great park! I've been itching to go back.
After today's press conference today unvailing Bay to NYC, he had me at hello. My only problem is METcentric. I'm against 4 years, but I'm steamed over a 5th year vested option. Steve Phillips didn't think much of him when he was in our system originally and traded him. I didn't think too much of Steve Phillips. be well.
Man, it must really hurt to see all your homegrown stars go elsewhere to make it big. I feel for ya man.
Surprised J. Bay turned down the Red Sox reasonable four-year offer. Not getting a whole lot more in NY, unless the 5th year option kicks in. Wish him well – he played great for his short stint here in Boston – but would have like to seem him accept a modest hometown discount to be able to play at Fenway for 81 games a year.
Great entry, Jason Bay is a great player. It sucks seeing all the good ones leave you're favorite team just because of money. I experienced many years of that as an Expos fan and because of that I'll always be pulling for Pittsburgh.
Best of luck to you and you're team in 2010,
Good pick up for the Mets though a tad expensive! I'm sure he'll help that team in more ways than one🙂
Is funny seeing Jason Bay in Mets Blue. Since I don't watch much A.L. games, so I never got used to seeing him in Boston Red. I wish him well.
I'll be rooting for our Ex Dodgers Andy LaRcohe and Morris. for me once a Dodger, always a Bum.
Sorry Bay has left ya….I know I'd have been crushed if my favorite player moved on. Also not happy he is a Met (yuck!) but oh well! Best of luck to him (when he is not playing the Phillies ;O)
Yeah, I'm not much of a Pitt fan, but I think Bay belongs in Black and Yellow. Good writing, man. Keep it up.

Curry can dominate the offensive post, but overall is yet to be seen. He has to prove that he can play defense and rebound, or he will be at best what he was when he averaged 20 ppg.
I like his confidence. For someone who has gone through so much negatives, it's good to see that he has something driving him to be better.
Let's just hope that Curry can back up what he is saying soon so we can trade him.

VIDEO: Press Conference for Dave BrockRutgers Offensive Coordinator Dave Brock has been named as the new Head Coach at the University of Delaware.
Delaware is Brock's first head coaching position after serving as an offensive coordinator at four schools, and coaching at three others during a career which dates back to 1988 at then-Salisbury State University.
Brock spent one season at Rutgers, where the Scarlet Knights were 9-4 in claming a share of the Big East championship before playing in the Russell Athletics Bowl.
Before Rutgers, Brock spent three years as tight ends coach at Boston College, where Eric Ziady was working in the athletics department. Ziady was hired late last year as Delaware's Athletic Director and helped make the decision to bring Brock to Newark. Ziady said Brock was the first of eleven candidates he talked to, including "one other with Delaware ties."
Ziady said his search focused on the ability to recruit. "Recruiting is something I put a heavier weight on on a professional side. On a personal side, the traits and characters of each individuals."
VIDEO: Delaware Athletic Director Eric Ziady introduces Dave Brock
The 46-year-old has coached NFL standouts Jordy Nelson, Marquis Colston, and Josh Freeman during his various stops, and promises an aggressive style of offense, defense and special teams.
"We're going to attack, we're going to be aggressive. I would tell you it's going to be a blend, it's going to have a lot of elements of different systems. It ultimately comes down to players not players. I would tell you have a legitimate running back (Andrew Pierce), which I base upon production."
Brock has served as offensive coordinator at three other schools besides Rutgers: Kansas State in 2008, Temple from 2002-04, and at Hofstra from 2000-01.
Brock played linebacker at Division III Ferrum (Va.) before an injury ended his career, he then transferred to SSU to serve as a student assistant.
After working with the Seagulls and Western Connecticut State, he was hired by Joe Gardi to become running backs coach at Hofstra.
Delaware was looking for a head coach to replace K.C. Keeler, who was fired after 11 seasons where he led Delaware to three I-AA National Championship games, including winning the title in 2003.

October 14, 2011 —
The New York State Police in Liberty announce the arrest on 10/11/11, of, age 55, Passaic, NJ as a fugitive from justice on warrants from the State of New Jersey. The charges against DONABERGER in New Jersey are as follows: Kidnapping 1st degree, custodial interference 2nd degree and larceny 3rd degree.
This arrest came as a result of the City of Passaic Police Dept. contacting State Police in Liberty to check the Claryville area for the suspect and a ten year old male child who was reported missing. It was known that the suspect had camped in this area with the child previously as he resides with and is a close friend of the child's family. The vehicle reported to have been stolen by DONABERGER, a green Plymouth voyager, was located by patrols at a local store in Claryville. Interviews of local residents provided verification that the child and suspect had been seen in the area.
A search of the wooded area utilizing State Police Aviation, and a State Police K9 unit resulted in locating both parties in a wooded area on Red Hill Road in the Town of Denning, Uster County. The child was located in good health. The two had been staying in a tent since Monday.
DONABERGER was arraigned by Village of Ellenville Justice Matt Parker and committed to Ulster County Jail on no bail, pending extradition to New Jersey. The child was turned over to officials from Passaic, NJ.

He's Still A Headcase…
The 4-game series with the Cleveland Indians brings pitcher Carl Pavano back to the forefront…unfortunately.
With the Indians this year, Pavano has been effective, and has beaten both the Red Sox and the Rays this month. His record is 5-4. Compare that to the fact that it took him until the third year of his 4-year, $39.95 million contract to win his 5th game with the Yankees. Of course, the Indians are paying just a fraction of the price (1-year, $1.5 million).
I have never disputed that Pavano has a quality arm. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the head to match. Time will tell if he implodes with the Indians, but you expect that it will eventually happen. For now, the Indians going along for the ride, and reaping the rewards. Good luck with that…
Some guys just aren't cut out for New York, and Carl Pavano proved that he is just another Ed Whitson. Cleveland is probably a much better environment, with much less pressure, for Pavano.
Had he still been with the Yankees, I am sure that he would have found his way to the DL by now…
Barring a possible rainout tonight, Pavano is scheduled to pitch on Sunday against Phil Hughes. Hopefully, Phil will prevent the Yanks from becoming the latest AL East giant to fall to the American Idle…
Pavano! Pavano! Pavano! Pavano!
Other News
Jorge Posada was activated from the DL today, and is in the starting lineup for tonight's game with the Cleveland Indians. Kevin Cash was sent down to Triple A-Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Francisco Cervelli will most likely catch CC Sabathia on Saturday against the Tribe. The Yankees have an interesting decision to make when Jose Molina returns. They'll probably go the conservative route and send Cervelli down, but I'd rather keep Cervelli than Molina. Then again, there's a reason that Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi draw paychecks from the Yankees and I don't…
The Yankees briefly held a share of first place. Following Wednesday's win in Texas, combined with a Red Sox loss, the Yankees had drawn even with the Red Sox. However, it was short-lived as the Red Sox won on Thursday (the Yankees were off, or rather at a basketball game). So, entering tonight's action, the Yankees remain in second place, a ½ game behind the Red Sox.
I saw that the Yankees might be one of several possible suitors for Cleveland's Mark DeRosa. He would be an upgrade over Ramiro Pena and Angel Berroa, and I admired the intangibles and the play that DeRosa brought to last year's Chicago Cubs. The Cubs haven't been the same this year, and I think the loss of DeRosa is one reason. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if either the Atlanta Braves or Chicago Cubs re-acquired DeRosa
Two ex-Yankees were DFA'd today. Cleveland designated outfielder David Dellucci for assignment to make room for reliever Rafael Perez. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, catcher Chad Moeller was the victim of the much hyped major league arrival of top baseball prospect Matt Wieters.
I liked Joe Girardi's comment when asked about a possible move of Joba Chamberlain to the bullpen (the ongoing debate that will not die): "That's why the Presidential debates are better," Girardi said. "They end." I have not been a proponent of moving Chamberlain, but he does need to figure out how to pitch in the first inning and when he doesn't have his best stuff.
Melky Cabrera is back with the team, and is listed as day-to-day. He won't play for a few days, but he shouldn't be out as long as initially projected so that's a good thing.
How come Boston never has to face Roy Halladay when they play the Toronto Blue Jays? I don't get it. The schedule is perfectly aligned in their favor. I realize this isn't Yankees news, but it obviously affects the team since Halladay is perhaps the best pitcher in baseball. And, of course, Julia is loving every minute of it…
I agree with Dodgers manager Joe Torre, I don't think that Manny Ramirez should play in the All-Star Game if selected…
What was up with the six wild pitches thrown by the Boston Red Sox the other day?
The Yankees have played a franchise-record 14 games without an error. That's an amazing stat, particularly given how weak defensively the team has been in recent years. But I have to admit, offensive stats aside, I love watching Mark Teixeira field at first base. I can't even say that he's an upgrade over Jason Giambi because that would be a huge understatement. I know the phrase "defense wins championships" is specific to pro football, but I'll take it for the Yanks. Works for me!
Cavs over Magic
Yankees fan LeBron James led his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to victory over the Orlando Magic in a home game that was attended by Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, CC Sabathia, Brian Bruney, Brett Gardner and Joba Chamberlain. The Cavs now trail the Magic 3 games to 2 in their best-of-seven series. I am not a Cavs fan, but I am a LeBron fan and it would be fun to see him in the NBA Finals. Nothing against Dwight Howard and the Magic, but LeBron is the best the NBA has to offer. It's just a bonus that he's a Yankees fan too.
Ironically, it was Yankees reliever Brett Tomko's dad who gave the Cavaliers their name. The Cleveland Plain Dealer held a contest in 1970 that drew 11,000 entries, and Jerry Tomko had the winning selection: "The name Cleveland Cavaliers represents a group of daring, fearless men whose life's pact was never surrender, no matter what the odds." That's an interesting bit of trivia that I did not know…
Good luck to LeBron and the James as they continue their quest to overcome impossible odds in beating the Orlando Magic!

Pavano vs the Yankees…that is going to be a very interesting game on Sunday. And I could not agree with Joe Torre more; Manny should not play in the All-Star Game! I don't understand how people can even be voting for him. Talk about the message they are sending to all the players who play clean. It is just wrong. And sorry – but I'm rooting for the Nuggets to beat the Lakers tonight!
It was a great night all around for you – the Yankees and the Lakers both won. Congrats! Yes, it was a tough night for the Red Sox – but don't get too comfortable on top of the AL East – you'll have company there very soon!😉
Have a great day!

By Eric Butler: PNT Correspondent
Learning the ins and outs of karate is a serious task. But excelling at it can lead to some serious fun, too — as several area youngsters learned this summer.
Seven karate students qualified for the AAU national karate championships, held June 27 through July 3 in Lakeland, Fla. The field was formed from regional competitions in 15 locations.
Students at the United Martial Arts Academy in Clovis — Jordan Smith, 11, Heather Benbow, 9, Gabe Chilson, 9, Lindsey McManus, 7, Robert Guerra, 7, Jayson Dixon, 13, Zachary McManus, 12 — qualified for the Florida tournament by finishing third or higher at a regional in Albuquerque.
At the AAU national tourney, Chilson ended up winning the fighting championship for the advanced brown belt division. A junior black belt division was also held for 9-year-olds, but Chilson won't test for his black belt until the end of July.
Chilson's mother, Megan, said karate has been a bit of an obsession for her child since he first learned the discipline.
"He started three years ago. We moved to New Mexico about then and he just said, 'I want to do karate. I want to do karate,'" said Megan Chilson, who taxis her son from Portales to Clovis several nights a week for karate lessons.
"We kind of thought it just be a passing thing," she said. "We thought he'd do it for a year and then want to do something different," Chilson said. "But he keeps wanting to do more."
Rodrigo Rodriguez and Sandy McManus are co-owners of the school where Gabe Chilson learns karate in Clovis. Rodriguez said that his academy is one of four martial arts schools in town.
He said the serious aspect of learning karate will hit home for Chilson, and other ambitious students, when they get back to work at their home academy.
The test for junior black belt isn't one where the students merely display knowledge of the subject, he said.
"It's going to take about three to four hours. It's more of an endurance test than anything else," Rodriguez said. "We know that he (Chilson) knows his stuff. But he'll have to show all of his techniques and forms that he's learned over the years. After two or three hours of kicking and punching, his focus is going to be off — and that's when our testing really begins to count."
"He makes sure that they're learning the correct discipline of karate," said Megan Chilson of Rodriguez. "They learn that they don't use it at school and only use it in absolute emergencies, that it's an art form and he's very traditional in his style."

Police Chief Joe Treviño said investigators are still looking for a suspect who could be arrested and charged with the murder.
Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information that could result in an arrest.
According to a report filed on Dec. 20, 2012, Trueman Brown's body was found lying in a pool of blood in his apartment at just before 7:30 that morning.
The first officers at the scene met with a woman who said she had looked into Brown's apartment to check on him. It was then that she found the victim.
Officers said they found the main door to the unit was open, so one of them opened the screen door to try to determine whether or not the victim was still alive.
The victim appeared to be Hispanic, and one of the first things the officers noticed was that he had what appeared to be a substantial wound that could have been fatal. Officers said they looked for signs that the man might still be breathing and saw none.
There were also signs that the body had been in that location, possibly for several hours.
At that point the officers began to seal off the area so that a crime scene investigation could be conducted.
Later, emergency medical service personnel arrived at the scene and confirmed that there was nothing they could do for the victim.
Other officers, including investigators and patrol supervisors, were called to begin a search for evidence and to secure the crime scene.
Officers spoke with persons at the scene who had known the victim and interviewed one possible suspect.
The investigation reportedly turned up another potential suspect, but investigators were never able to make any arrests in the case.
Treviño said investigators would like to hear any information that could lead them to a suspect.
Evidence at the scene led investigators to believe that Brown might have known the assailant, and officers said no one at the apartment complex had reported hearing any disturbance in the hours before the body was discovered.
If anyone has information that could lead to an arrest, Treviño asked that the local Crime Stoppers organization be contacted at 362-0206. Long-distance callers may reach the organization's hotline at (877) 362-0206. Internet users may contact the organization by email at coastalbendcrimestoppers.com.
Treviño stressed the fact that witnesses who contact Crime Stoppers always remain anonymous.
The organization pays a cash reward without ever identifying the person who provides the information.

Bridge of Hope currently serves 180 children of Ijevan and surrounding villages, of which about 85 are disabled, most of which are from disadvantaged and at risk families. The primary goal of the organization is the equal education of all and has been an advocate of inclusive education. The organization currently partners with local schools and other organizations, including the local and regional governments to identify and provide support to these children Currently available are 5 computers that are being used full time in classes and camps. 5 additional computers that have been on loan are now being returned to their organizations as they are needed there. Currently there is a computer ratio in classes and activities of 2-3 children per computer which not only affects the quality of the program but also limits the number of children that can engage in the program. The organization wants to engage the children in real world application of the skills receive which will help increase the use and retention of these skills. As a result it is the wish to have as part of the classroom activities, the creation of a student run newsletter highlighting the activities of the organization to the community future activities, student accomplishments and general organizational information. Due to lack of adequate surge protection to protect the equipment from power surges in the local power grid, they have had the failure of 4 computers, 1 irreparably in the last 6 months, further depleting the resources available to the children. Also in use is aged, low capacity printing equipment and is need of a higher capacity copier/printer that can facilitate the economical printing and coping of organizational materials and newsletters.

Welcome to the Leadership Education for Advancement and Promotion program.
LEAP began at CU Boulder in 2001 as an Institutional Transformation Grant funded primarily by the National Science Foundation, 3.5 million, and the University of Colorado Boulder ($900,000). The following seven years were an effort to strike a balance between research, workshops and events with the goal to recruit and retain faculty on the Boulder campus. With a great deal of support from now Chancellor Phil DiStefano, LEAP has become an institutionalized program funded by the University of Colorado Boulder, located in the office of Faculty Affairs. Jeff Cox, AVC Faculty Affairs, has played an integral role in creating an appropriate home for the program, increasing in scope the role of Faculty Affairs in supporting faculty on this campus.
The goal of the LEAP Program is to support faculty at all levels: Assistant, Associate, Full Professors. For Assistant Professors, pre-tenured faculty, we run a 2 day skill-based workshop. Sessions include time management, negotiation, difficult conversations, tenure review and a conversation about teaching. The sessions are presented by tenured faculty and administrators and the workshop seeks to connect the participants to the larger community of colleagues on campus. In addition to the above material covered in each session, the participants have the opportunity to get to know others from across campus – realizing in the process they are not 'alone' in navigating this path to tenure. For the associate professor rank, each year LEAP awards Associate Professor Growth Grants. These small awards each academic year help faculty to fund changes in research direction as well as completion of projects/books/travel needed for a faculty member to go forward with the process of promotion to full professor. We have certainly discovered with these awards that a small amount of money can make a significant difference in a faculty member's research progress. The call for the grants goes out in the month of March for the upcoming academic year.
The culture and leadership in an academic department has a significant impact on junior faculty in the unit. For that reason and more, LEAP provides leadership opportunities for department chairs and directors in the form of a one-day retreat as well as informal topic-based lunches during the academic year. These events are focused on current topics on campus and management challenges facing chairs and directors. The retreat is a one-day event and happens in August before the start of the fall semester. The lunches take place during the year in both the fall and spring semesters. Conversations with others in a similar role on campus can be very beneficial, allowing participants access to the wisdom of their peers across campus.
As LEAP moves forward, we are interested in creating an internal advisory board on campus, made up of faculty to assist in broadening the vision for the program. In addition, we are looking at creating more opportunities to include instructors and continue to develop and augment a mentoring connection for faculty outside of their respective units.
It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to continue with the management of this program. The potential for this LEAP to grow and develop is great, thanks to the support of the administration here on the Boulder campus.
Martha Hanna
LEAP Faculty Director

The Ultimate MiLB Ballpark Experience (8/6/10)
Coming into the first week of August, we still hadn't hit our first Reading Phillies game of the season. But early in the week, my wife sent me an email at work about a promotion scheduled for Friday, August 6th. We couldn't pass it up.
The Promotion: R-Phils Kids Club Night at the Ballpark.
Translation — camping in the outfield! We have "camped" in KOA camping cabins, but Tim had never camped in an actual tent.
Sign us up!
We figured it would a late night, so we showed up a little late for the game. As we entered the ballpark, Tim asked me to take some pictures of these "trophies" and other artifacts from R-Phils of the past:
I had some comp'd tickets from a rain out at the end of the 2009 season. Our seats were in row 20 of red section 7. Here was our view:
Shortly after we arrived, we were happy to see Hillbilly Hoff making a blue light special announcement from the top of the dugout:
Tim spent some time taking pictures. His camera skills have improved a lot since last season:
I asked Tim where he wanted to camp. He zoomed in on the Erie Seawolves' centerfielder…
…"Right where that 'baser' is standing." (BTW, Tim likes to call fielders "basers.")
I was quite interested to see that former New York Mets outfielder, Timo Perez…
…was playing for the R-Phils. He ended up going 0-3 with three fly outs…on each of those three swings shown above.
The nights Roast Beef RBI guy was DH Tagg Bozied…
…he failed to collect any RBIs and, therefore, we failed to win any roast beef.
Tim enjoyed his first MiLB ice cream helmet of the season:
Later in the game, we relocated to the homerun trough in LF…
…where Tim spinted the length of the trough over and over and over and over and over. And then a couple more times.
In the 8th and 9th innings, we found ourselves back in the infield. Here was our quite excellent view…
…as the Seawolves beat the R-Phils.
After the game, they had a tennis ball throwing contest for charity…
…people bought the balls (which had numbers written on them) and then tried to throw their balls into various hoops and a basket in the back of a moving truck.
Next, it was time for some fireworks…
After the fireworks, it was time to get ready for some camping! We grabbed our tent and sleeping bags from our car and reported back to the main entrance. Tim was psyched!
We brought our gloves and we were ready to go crazy playing around in the outfield. Camping, free reign in the outfield of a professional baseball stadium…what more could you ask for!?
Tim didn't want to risk missing out on our spot in CF, so we sprinted out to the OF…
…we made it! Sweet. We were in the outfield…the beautiful, beautiful outfield.
And check this out, we literally put our tent up on top of the centerfielder's spike marks:
…and it was "game on!"
Here was the veiw from the warning track in straight away CF…
…with our tent right in the middle.
On the big screen behind Tim…
…they showed a double feature. First, it was the short movie "The Phanatic Goes to Hollywood." I don't think anyone watched it because we were all busy playing catch and running around in the OF grass. It was quite sight, fathers and son (and a few daughters) were spread out all over the place having a great time playing catch.
It was such an odd experience being out there in the OF with all of these other fathers and sons playing catch with tents all around us. It was almost surreal…almost like we were in a movie or something. In short, it was awesome.
You had to buy tickets to attend the sleep over. They were $10/each, but kids 4 and under were free (they are free for R-Phils games as well). So it was $10 total for me and Tim and our tickets came with a midnight meal.
We headed past the infield…
…and into the grandstand concourse to pick up our "dinner"…
…ah, yeah, nothing beats some hot dogs and lemonade while laying on your sleeping bag in CF:
After eating, it was right back to playing catch and running around…
…it was pretty funny playing with Tim. It was almost midnight and he was a combination of ecstatic and exhausted. But there was no slowing down in sight.
Play, play, play…
Check out how Tim was stumbling around with tiredness as he just kept playing…
By the way, my voice sounds weird in that clip because I was eating sunflower seeds while we were playing catch. Tim just kept playing and fake falling and rolling for ballls…
The entire OF was open for tents, but everyone (but us) was set up in LF or right behind 2B. We were the lone strays out in CF, and RF was completely tent free. Just wide open play space for all of the kids and adult-kids.
We headed over to RF and Tim practiced his accuracy by throwing balls off of the "25" and "53" in the lottery billboards…
Here was the view from the RF foul line…
…I think the sprinklers really added to the surreal feel of the whole night.
Around midnight, people started settling in around their tents for the feature presentation. I realized I hadn't taken a picture of the two of us on the field, so I gave it my best shot…
…Tim was so tired that this was the best smile he could manage in our three picture attempts.
From our tent, we could see the Reading Pagoda lit up off in the distance:
And then it was time for the feature presentation — "Rookie of the Year":
Pretty much everyone set up on their sleeping bags outside of their tents…
…although he looks like he is sleeping, Tim is actually watching the movie in that shot. One really cool thing about the night (among the many cool things about the night) was that, as we laid next to each other watching the beginning of "Rookie of the Year," Tim told me that he wished Kellan could have come with us. I told him Kellan is too young to camp, but we can bring him next year.
After slowing down from all of the action, Tim was a goner. He only made it about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes into the movie before he fell sleep.
I transferred him into our tent and then took a picture of the scene, now quieted down considerably for the movie:
The little guy was fast sleep…
….as I finished watching the movie.
Our little A-frame style tent felt so small. Usually, you pull a little rope from each side and stake them in the ground to spread the tent out a bit. But there were no stakes allowed in the OF!
I noticed that most people had much newer and cooler looking tents than my probably 15-20 year old tent…
…I guess we'll have to upgrade.
After the movie, people went to bed. They turned off all of the stadium lights, but left the big screen lit up like a big night light.
I figured this was as unique of a ballpark experience as I was ever going to experience so I best make the most of it. After all of the lights were out but our night light, and no one else was stirring, I took a final walk around the OF.
I think this is probably the most unique ballpark picture I'll ever take:
The infield and grandstand were peacefully resting up for another big day of baseball on Saturday…
…here is essentially a reverse angle of the last picture that shows our night light…
From a deep sleep, we were awoken at 7 a.m. the next morning to the sound of the stadium PA annoucer thanking us for attending the night in the ball park.
Tim was still really tired and it took him a few minutes to finally make it out of the tent…
…by then, most of the other campers were already gone! I think they must have woken up early. That or they are speed packers who didn't want to maximize there experience.
Not us, we're ballpark lingerers and experience-soaker-uppers. So, it was time for a morning picture…
By the time we were all packed up…
…there were only two other tents left. And, I recognized all of the remaining adults as employees in the R-Phils front office (I know them from playing softball against them).
So, we were the last remaining members of the "public."
Oh, well. So be it.
It was time for some more catch…
…I mean, when were we going to have another opportunity to wake up in CF and play catch? Not any time soon! So we had to play some catch. And we did.
Finally, we decided we better head out. We stopped for another picture by the infield on our way to the gate behind 3B that leads to the concourse:
After walking through the grandstand concourse, we decided we should poke our heads out one last time…
…and wave a proper good-bye to our campsite.
This was one of the coolest nights. Thank, R-Phils. Sign us up for next year.

What a great experience! I think the Frisco Roughriders (the AA affiliate of the Rangers) either had or are having something like this also. I'm definitely going to be checking into that now. Those are some awesome photos and videos! Just think how cool it will be when you have both of your boys out there! I'm jealous of the memories man, truly awesome.
Awesome. Sounds like you guys had a load of fun. My local atlantic team the Lancaster Barnstormers also do something like this. I'll be there either this Sunday or next for the first time this year. My blog will have pics. I usually attend a game or two here each season) maybe I'll treat you 2 or 3) to one of these in Lancaster next year, tell me if your interested!
Todd & Tim (PA) – What an awesome night you had. What a great idea to give a unique experience. Way better than a simple Kid's Run the Bases day.
Saw the pictures and can't wait to see the post on the trip to Progressive Field. Congratulations – Todd & Teemo (HI)
Yeah, definitely check it out. It was truly awesome having free reign of the outfield. The grass was beautiful. We had a blast playing around out there. Yep, when Kellan gets big enough, he'll definitely have to camp in the outfield with us.
Have fun at the Barnstormers campout. I've heard great things about the Barnstormers. I'm sure we'll hit one of their games some day.
Run the bases is awesome. But this was truly amazing. Now, how cool would it be if it was in the OF at Safeco Field!? That would be unbelievable!
hi Todd and Tim – I am so glad you had this experience! My guys sleep over in Pawtucket every spring. They love it and it is great dad/son time! So cute that Tim wanted Kellan there. Soon enough they will be fighting for space in the tent!
Heidi Q.
Todd, remember the Lancaster Barnstormers campout I talked about? here you go a link for it and games…. http://lancasterbarnstormers.com/group_scoutnight.cfm
Hope you go to one of the two scheduled this upcoming season!

Man, I wish we could hit up one of those camp outs. It'll surely be a great time and I definitely want to get down to a Barnstormers game some day. But I think we already have MLB game plans on both of those days. Maybe we can camp out in Lancaster in 2012!

Religious Geography:
The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia--and How It Died is a great history of the Eastern Churches. Usually when one thinks of Christian history they either think Catholic Church then the Reformation or Catholic/Orthodox split and then the Reformation. Almost no one either knows of the Eastern Churches such as the Jacobites and Nestorians or thinks they died off during the rise of Islam. This book does a excellent job documenting how Christianity lived under Islam and in pagan Asia. In fact, up until the late 1200s there was still a chance that Asia and the Muslim World would fall to a Nestorian-allied Mongol horde. The book further goes on to discuss how Eastern Christian practices were adopted into Islam.
Military Geography:
Six Days of War is the definitive history of the Six Day War between Israel and the united Arab forces under the nominal command of Egypt. This book does a wonderful job of describing the background history, the maneuvers, and politics of the war. The last bit is of great interest as the victorious Israelis debate what to do with the newly won territory.
Afghanistan: A Military History from Alexander the Great to the War against the Taliban pretty much documents every battle ever fought in Afghanistan. As such one needs an atlas with them while reading the book to remember the detailed geography of the region. After reading the book I gained a greater appreciation for Afghan history. The country once was a settled land but constant invaders crushed everything but the wild nomads in the mountains. That legacy lives up until today.
Coffee Table Geography:
Strange Maps is the best way to start a fun geography conversation with any guest.

And the ingredients are natural and healthy.
It's wonderful, I'm so happy to have found it.

Let us kneel in acknowledgment of all that we cannot change, and then stand in recognition of all that we can.

Unsecured IoT devices were used to launch crippling DDOS attacks in October 2016, targeting services such as Twitter, Spotify, and GitHub. Subsequent testimony to Congress about potential attacks on office buildings, schools, and hospitals raised the possibility for the IoT to harm and even kill people. What should be done? Does the government need to intervene? This panel at @ThingExpo New York brings together leading IoT and security experts to discuss this very serious topic.

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

Shisui the protector

Itachi and Shisui
Madara and Itachi

Public Relations & Media Bias against Israel
The tiny country of Israel, which is the size of New Jersey is in the media constantly and regularly.: : There is an extreme amount of media bias against Israel, and here are 10 reasons media is biased against Israel:
- Freedom of the press as in other democracies.: : The only difference is that Israel's neighbors — and conflicts are with dictators who live by a different set of rules.
- Reporters are people too — and they live the good, easy life in Israel rather than reporting from the true front line — Libya, Iran and places where they couldn't send their kids to school or socialize.
- The Palestinians constantly fabricate stories — Review this recent video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=oHHQArtFxOA: and witness startling images — of kids trying to pick a fight to spark anti-Israel media.
- Worldwide mainstream media is liberal — and liberals are increasingly anti-Israel.
- Poor Internal political systems — too many government bureaucrats dealing with PR, yet none of them effective.
- Israelis would rather spend money on defense systems than PR.
- Israelis don't spend time, money or effort entertaining reporters as the Arabs do.
- The Arab nations hire professional: PR firms: — Israel doesn't.
- Israel gets a disproportionate amount of attention — and that's harmful.
- The: world hates the Jews — and that may never change.

- Abstract
- Plasma immersion ion implantation has been used for simultaneous implantation of carbon and nitrogen into austenitic stainless steel X5CrNi189 at 400 degrees celsius. Duplex layer structures are formed with a nitrogen-rich layer close to the surface and a carbon-rich layer at greater depth. The influence of different gas compositions on the structure and phase composition of the layers is examined and compared with results from pure nitrogen and methane. The results provide further information about 'expanded austenite' (S-phase) which is formed during the low temperature nitriding of austenitic stainless steels.

"This show is a huge part of my conversion. I've learned more from it in six months than I had in my twelve years of Judaism and 30-plus years of atheism. Your answers always have a solid foundation and the show is inspirational."

August 7, 2013 —
Every August, Mother Nature provides a meteoric display in the skies in the form of the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks in the early morning hours of August 12. Many stargazers consider the Perseids the best meteor shower of the year, in part because of the warm temperatures, ideal for star gazing, and the fact that many are on vacation, spending time in the great outdoors. Under ideal conditions—clear skies and minimal light pollution—this year's shower is expected to provide up to 100 "shooting stars" per hour, beginning after sunset on the 11th, but building in intensity and number as the night gives way to the pre-dawn hours. With virtually no moon showing after 10 p.m., this year's shower promises to be spectacular, and the nighttime sky in the Upper Delaware Valley is ideal for viewing.
The Perseids "begin as tiny speck of dust that hit the Earth's atmosphere at 37 miles per second, vaporizing from friction with the air and leaving behind streaks of light we call meteors." (www.astronomy.com [2]) Even now, as Earth enters the stream created by the particles in the wake of the comet known as 109P/Swift Tuttle, observers can spot colorful "fireballs" that can appear as bright as Venus in the morning sky. Best observation is done without aid of telescopes or binoculars, since the meteors will appear to fill a large portion of the night sky.
While some civilizations have attached negative attributes to the fiery display, there are others that subscribe to the Disney-inspired theory that "when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."
For more information about this and other meteor showers during the year, visit www.stardate.org [3].
Where and how to view:
The best viewing dates are August 11 and 12.
Avoid city lights; the farther out you are, the better your view will be.
The Perseids can be seen all over the sky, but the best viewing opportunities are in the pre-dawn hours after the moon has set.
With a keen eye, one will notice that the meteors appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus, which forms an inverted "Y" shape in the northeast.
Include the kids. Take a nap, set your clocks and get up after midnight (when the show really starts). Spread a blanket under the stars and make it a family affair.
Mankind has been observing the Perseids for nearly 2000 years, and superstitions abound. One early Christian idea was that the fireballs associated with the onset of the meteor shower were actually angels who had been turned away by God (www.helium.com [4]).


text: Growing up in the city of Detroit gun violence was a way of life. Watching the 11 o'clock news was a daily report of what happens when people use guns to fight over drug trafficking territory, domestic issues, and other senseless acts. In my life I have lost three friends to gun violence, one used his father's gun to kill himself and the other two were killed by their girlfriend's jealous ex-boyfriend. Living in an environment such as this, I have never understood the fascination with guns. My father, who works for our church's private security force, has a permit to carry a fire arm. He would talk about going to the gun range but he never wanted me to … Continue reading
