Twenty four non-lactating goats (Age=3.5±0.08 years; Balady goats, n=12 and Shami goats, n=12) were used to evaluate the effects of long-term nutrient restriction on digestion and energy utilization. Six animals of each goat breed were fed a concentrated mixture and alfalfa hay diet (50:50 as DM basis) to meet metabolizable energy (ME) of maintenance (MEm, CON). The other six animals were fed 50% of this amount relative to actual BW (RES). Animals were individually housed for a 90-day period and then moved to metabolic cages in two sets of 12 animals each, three per treatment and breed for each set. Total Energy expenditure (EE) was estimated by a heart rate (HR) monitor for 48 h after its individual calibration by oxygen consumption with a face mask open-circuit respiratory system. Body weight and digestibility were negatively affected by long-term restricted feeding, without differences in digestibility between goat breeds. Energy expenditure was greater for CON vs. RES (417 vs. 355 kJ/kg BW0.75/day respectively, P<0.001) and lower for Balady goats compared to Shami goats, particularly in terms of RES intake treatment (312 vs. 399 kJ/kg BW0.75/day respectively, P<0.01). As a result, the energy balance (EB) was similar for both goat breeds on treatment CON, while it was greater (P<0.05) for Balady goats than Shami goats when they received RES treatment (-133 vs. -208 kJ/kg BW0.75/day respectively, P<0.01). In conclusion, Balady goats, but not Shami goats, have the ability to reduce their EE in order to improve their EB as a mechanism of adaptation when their ME intake is restricted below MEm requirements. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

El Farafra Oasis is included in the New Valley Project which started in the 1960s. This project is based exclusively on groundwater of the well-known Nubian Sandstone aquifer (NSA). The hydraulic head drawdown problem in Farafra Oasis constitutes a big problem because it threatens the availability of the only water source in the Oasis. Hydrogeologically, Farafra Oasis belongs to the huge, artesian, unrenewable fossil water Nubian from sandstone aquifer. The problem began to appear at the end of the 1990s instantaneously with increased drilling of deep water wells. Huge quantities of water (267 million m3) are derived from the aquifer every year. Hydraulic head depression cones are formed around the main reclamation areas where the groundwater surface lowered by 35 m below the ground surface. Numerical modeling was used to investigate the hydrodynamic impacts of the present and planned groundwater extraction on the groundwater levels besides the possible means of mitigating the continuous decrease of the groundwater levels. The aquifer simulation indicated that there is a significant head decline of the groundwater, particularly in the first productive zone. Four scenarios were applied to signify the present and future development plans for the next 20 years, i.e., year 2033. Applying the present conditions reveal that heads are more declined than now. Another 30 and 17.8 m in the first and second productive zones, respectively, are expected to be added to the present groundwater drawdowns. Groundwater is expected to decline significantly if the pumping rates are to be increased by 50 % in response to natural development of the agricultural society and continuous need to more cultivation lands. Groundwater heads are expected to be lower by about 40 m in the first productive zone and 24 m in the second productive zone. The third plan examines the impact of reducing the pumping rate by about 25 % on groundwater levels by applying recent irrigation techniques as drop and sprinkler irrigation methods instead of the presently used flood irrigation. In this case, simulated drawdowns are expected to decline, and the maximum drawdowns recorded are 19 and 10 m through the next 20 years in the first and second productive zones, respectively. To mitigate the groundwater level deterioration, the study suggests the reduction of pumping rates by about 20 % by applying the recent irrigation techniques besides reclamation of about 11,000 feddan (4620 hectare) to accommodate the increasing population and need of cultivation lands in the Oasis in the next 20 years. According to plan, the simulated groundwater levels are expected to decrease by about 20.3 and 12 m at the end of the simulation period (year 2033). This means that the rate of head decline is lowered to about 1 m/year for the first productive zone and 0.6 m/year for the second productive zone with the increase in the cultivation area by about 16 %. Therefore, the study recommends the fourth plan to manage the groundwater resource in Farafra Oasis. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

The northwestern coast of Egypt represents one of the highest-priority regions for future development. Two contiguous basins were chosen from the northwestern coast for this research: El Zarraqa and El Harraqa basins. The main objective of the present study is to provide geomorphologic and geological data in order to work on the water potentiality development in the study area. The obtained data through the present study reveal that, although the two studied basins are close to each other, they are not compatible with all features. The morphometric parameters reveal that the studied basins have opportunities for surface runoff occurrence and also for groundwater recharge through infiltration process. The geology of the study area is dominated by sedimentary rocks of Tertiary and Quaternary ages. The study area has favorable conditions for groundwater accumulation, where this area receives an average annual precipitation of 151.95 mm, which provides the opportunity for groundwater recharge. The hydrogeological investigations reflect that two groundwater aquifers (Middle Miocene and Pleistocene) are recorded in the El Harraqa basin, and only the Middle Miocene aquifer is recorded in the El Zarraqa basin. The Middle Miocene aquifer needs more hydrogeophysical investigations to explore its potentialities where its rocks have a wide distribution and are mainly fractured. The difference in groundwater salinity in both aquifers accompanied by different hydrogeologic data confirms that the carbonate aquifer in the studied basins is heterogeneous and has anisotropic characters. The current research set up a proposed plan which includes multiactivities for the protection and development of the water resources. © 2014, Saudi Society for Geosciences.

Reclaiming salt-affected soil in arid and semi-arid countries is currently considered a substantial challenge because of water supply deficiencies. Traditionally, salts are removed from soil using either continuous or intermittent washing, which consumes considerable amounts of water. Our motivation for this study is to develop a process for decreasing the reclamation period and total amount of water, and improving the sustainability of reclamation. Recently, we have developed a new generation of soil electro-remediation techniques known as the perforated cathode pipe soil electrokinetic remediation (SEKR) system (PCPSS) for heavy metal removal. PCPSS was investigated for reclaiming salt-affected soils collected from the El-Sallam canal region Egypt. In the present study, enhancement of Na+ removal was firstly investigated using a Taguchi Approach orthogonal array (L9OA). The results indicated that the influential factors improved Na+ removal in the following order: cathode pipe operating time > voltage > cathode gap > hydrostatic head; additionally, the vertical removal above the cathode gap was operating time > hydrostatic head > voltage > cathode gap. A confirmation experiment demonstrated that Mg2+ removal was as high as 41.7% followed by Na+ with 23% removal. Ca2+ removal was the lowest (6.6%), likely due to the formation of insoluble CaSO4. K+ also showed low removal (8.4%), likely because of its comparatively low concentration. The removed cations show the following sequence: Mg2+ > Na2+ > K+ > Ca2+. A large percent of Cl- was removed (53.3%), whereas SO42- showed the lowest removal (5.1%). The accumulative electroosmosis flow was proportional to the voltage followed by operating time, hydrostatic head, and cathode gap, respectively. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This review paper updates knowledge on the fodder potential of a wide range of halophytes and salt-tolerant forages. These plants can produce relatively high consumable biomass in saline areas where non-halophytic species cannot grow or have low dry matter yields. Therefore, halophytes and some other salt-tolerant plants can provide a drought reserve or a supplementary feed source under arid and semi-arid conditions. On grazing lands, the halophytes can serve as a complementary nutrients source to other conventional feedstuffs, such as Atriplex spp. and cereal straws or hays. In addition to biomass production, wide variations in palatability, chemical composition, nutritive value and animal responses to several halophytes and salt-tolerant forages have been reported in the literature. Some of these species could be valuable sources of minerals and or nitrogen. However, the provision of energy supplements (e.g. barley) is necessary to overcome maintenance and or moderate production requirements of sheep and goats fed on halophytes and or salt-tolerant forages-based diets. Many studies showed that these plants could be used advantageously as alternative feeds to replace totally or partially common feedstuffs, thus to alleviate feeding cost. However, the presence of high contents of ash, plant secondary metabolites and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) should be taken into consideration when formulating diets containing halophytes and or salt-tolerant forages for small ruminants. Although most of feeding studies reported in this review have been carried in the Near East region, mainly in Egypt, results obtained in other regions worldwide support that feeding salt-tolerant plants and halophytes could promote livestock production systems, increase farmers' incomes and improve environmental conditions in the saline areas. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The use of 14C (half-life = 5,730 years) in modeling the evolution of the 36Cl/Cl ratios in groundwater is reported for the first time. The complexity of the Cl–36Cl system due to the occurrence of different Cl and 36Cl sources and the difficulty of the determination of the initial groundwater 36Cl/Cl ratios have raised concerns about the reliability of using 36Cl (half-life = 301 thousand years, a) as a groundwater-dating tool. This work uses groundwater 14C age as a calibrating parameter of the Cl–36Cl/Cl decay-mixing models of three wells from the southwestern Great Artesian Basin (GAB), Australia. It aims to allow for the different sources of Cl and 36Cl in the southwestern GAB aquifer. The results show that the initial Cl concentrations range from 245 to 320 mg/l and stable Cl is added to groundwater along flowpaths at rates ranging from 1.4 to 3.5 mg/l/ka. The 36Cl content of the groundwater is assumed to be completely of atmospheric origin. The samples have different Cl–36Cl/Cl mixing-decay models reflecting recharge under different conditions as well as the heterogeneity of the aquifer. © 2016 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg

A field experiment was carried out during 2013 and 2014 seasons on 13 years old Manfalouty pomegranate trees grown in sandy soil under drip irrigation system from well at El-Maghara Experimental Station, Desert Research Center, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The main objective of this work is to study the effect of four rates of ammonium nitrate fertilizer (600, 900, 1200 and 1500 g/tree) and three concentrations of calcium chloride spray at (0, 1 and 2%) on vegetative growth parameters, yield and fruit quality (especially fruit cracking and sunburn damage) of Manfalouty pomegranate trees. Obtained results showed that ammonium nitrate fertilizer and/or calcium chloride alone or in combination enhanced vegetative growth parameters, yield, fruit quality traits and reducing fruit cracking and sunburn damage through increasing vegetative development and thereby improve protection of the fruits from direct sunlight and the role of Ca in controlling physiological disorders of fruit. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

The current investigation aimed to evaluate the rheological and physical properties of camel semen subjected to liquefaction by high-power low frequency ultrasound. Ejaculates (n = 18) were collected during the rutting season from 2 adult male camels, Camelus dromedarius, (9 ejaculates each) using a modified artificial vagina. Immediately after collection, each ejaculate was split into 3 aliquots by a split-sample technique. The first aliquot (raw) was evaluated for rheological, physical and morphological properties, whereas the other 2 aliquots were diluted (1:3) with Tris-lactose egg yolk extender. An aliquot of diluted semen served as control and was evaluated for the aforementioned criteria immediately after dilution (T0) and after an equilibration period of 3 h at 5 °C (T180). Meanwhile, the other diluted specimen was exposed to 4 sets of a 40 kHz ultrasound nominal frequency, 2 min each at 2 min interval, at 37 °C for physical viscosity elimination. Throughout the exposure period, semen rheological properties and sperm physical characteristics were evaluated. Thereafter, sperm kinetics of equilibrated control and ultrasonic-treated semen were objectively assessed by a computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) unit. Time of exposure to the ultrasonic waves was negatively correlated (P < 0.01) with each of viscosity score (r = −0.95) and thread length (r = −0.93), whereas it was positively correlated (P < 0.01) with the percent of progressive motility (r = 0.87). Furthermore, ultrasonic-treated semen recorded higher (P < 0.05) motility, viability and sperm dynamics criteria than those of control. These results point to the successful application of ultrasound technology to improve handling, evaluation and processing of camel semen. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of α-amylase on the high viscous nature of dromedary camel semen used for processing of cryopreserved doses. Five different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 μl/ml) were used as a mucolytic agent for seminal plasma glutinosity liquefaction prior freezing (during 4 hours of equilibration period). The enzyme was added in Tris-Lactose 3% glycerolated extender (TLG) supplemented with 20% fresh egg-yolk. Semen was collected from 3 adult bulls (12 years old); semen ejaculates were assessed immediately for motility. Samples with mass motility higher than 60% and individual forward motility more than 20% were directly splitted on the α-amylase-TLG mix and equilibrated on 5°C for 4 hours before freezing. The results showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the sperm motility at the high concentrations of amylase treatments 5, 10, 15 μl/ml being 55%, 56.6% and 55% respectively, compared to 40% for both of the control sample (0 μl/ml) and that with added 2.5 μl/ml of amylase. No significant effect was reported due to the treatment on either the detached acrosome or the abnormalities. Computer system for semen assessment (Cell motion analyser CMA) was used to investigate some parameters of the cryopreserved treated semen sperms after thawing. Most movements and velocities parameters, namely; distance along tract (μm), straight distance start finish (μm), distance along average track (μm), VCL(μm/S), VSL (μm/S), VAL (μm/S), linearity%, wobble% and straightness% showed increased values (P < 0.05) at concentration of 15 μl of α-amylase as compared with the control sample or at other α-amylase concentrations. In conclusion, α-amylase at concentrations of 5, 10, 15 μl/ml under slow thawing conditions is a proper mucolytic agent for camel seminal plasma viscosity elimination prior cryopreservation. This enhanced the post-thaw forward motility of camel sperm with no significant detectable effect on both of the acrosomal integrity and the abnormalities.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of using exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing starter cultures on physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of fermented camel milk. Four starter cultures of the strains of non-EPS and EPS-producing were combined and distribution in four treatments portions to made yoghurt from camel's milk. Results showed that the maximum acetaldehyde and diacetyl contents were found in control treatment during 7 days storage period. The EPS concentration was detected between 41.3 to 269.3 mg/kg in the yoghurt made with non-EPS and EPS-producing starter cultures. The highest EPS concentration was observed in treatment C (1.5% EPS-producing Streptococcus thermophilus plus 1.5% non EPS-producing Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus) during 14 days storage period, then reduced at the end of the storage period. Yoghurt made with any EPS-producing strains had significantly (P<0.05) lower firmness, syneresis and higher viscosity values than control yoghurt. Overall acceptability scores of the sensory evaluation revealed that the yoghurt made with EPS-producing starter cultures in treatment C was the most accepted, while the control treatment was the least. According to the results, exopolysaccharide enhance viscosity, texture and mouthfeel and to avoid syneresis in yoghurt. The results of this study suggest that the use of EPS-producing cultures could provide better textures for camel milk yoghurt than those imparted by additives.

You'd probably think Laurent Koscielny would look at his Arsenal team and select one of the many talented stars from Arsene Wenger's first XI when naming the Premier League's best player.
But the France international instead picked someone closer to home – not his adopted home in north London, but his actual home. Speaking to the press ahead of France's World Cup qualifying match with Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel on Saturday, Koscielny was asked for his opinion. Well, he confidently named Chelsea's tireless midfielder N'Golo Kante as the best player in England's top flight.

Washington State Approves $124 Fine for "Gassers" Parking at EV Charging Stations

Fines will be applied to any vehicle that parks in the space without charging
If you've ever pulled into a gas station to fill up your car only to be stymied by someone who filled up their car and then went into the store to shop, you know how irritating it can be to be blocked from refueling. Apparently, Washington EV drivers are fed up with gasoline-powered vehicles using parking spaces in front of malls/shopping centers equipped with electric chargers and specially designated for electric vehicles.
The irritation for many electric vehicle owners is that there is currently no incentive in place to prevent gasoline-powered vehicle drivers from hogging spaces equipped with electric vehicle chargers.
The problem, however, is now being addressed by the Washington State Legislature with a new bill proposed last month that would impose a fine of $124 on drivers who park in a designated charging station without charging a vehicle. Lawmakers in the House approved the fine by a vote of 84-12. The fine had previously been approved by the state Senate and now goes to the governor to be signed into law or vetoed.
The fine won't only apply to gasoline vehicles that park in charging station spaces. Even electric vehicles parked in the charging station space, but not charging will be subject to the $124 fine. The bill also requires charging stations be marked with a vertical sign and green pavement making them marked in a similar method as handicapped spots.

"Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ."
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
"I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out" (Jesus in Luke 19.40)
Seventeen Aspects of Holy Dissatisfaction
One mark of Christian authenticity is discontentment with anything less than "all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19). Coasting is not discipleship. Drifting in self-contentment is not like basking in the pool of security, but like floating, fast asleep, toward the falls. "We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away" (Hebrews 2:1).
There is a holy discontentment. It is not a nail-biting uncertainty about our standing with God. It is the increased appetite of those who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good (1 Peter 2:2–3). It is the pursuit of those who have been pursued and captured by the strong arms of love. "Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:12).
Therefore, the biblical passages that follow are a way of waking our drowsy souls to feel a pure and holy dissatisfaction and stirring us up to pursue "all the fullness of God."
- "Grow in grace." "But he gives more grace." (2 Peter 3:18; James 4:6)

"When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die."
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
"No man can look with undivided vision at God and at the world of reality so long as God and the world are torn asunder. Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world."
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), Ethics
No, A Christian Cannot Recognize Muhammad as a Prophet
Posted January 29, 2016
Islam has an ally in the Roman Catholic Church. Allah, the god of Islam, is the same as Jehovah, the God of the Bible, according to Pope Francis. Wheaton College Professor Larycia Hawkins appealed to Pope Francis when she donned a Hijab to show "support" for Muslims and asserted that the god of Islam and the God of Christianity are one and the same (my response). Now Craig Considine, a Roman Catholic Sociologist, argues that Christians can recognize Muhammad as a legitimate prophet of God—similar in status if not quite equal in status with Jesus in this article.
Considine attempts to justify his recognition of Muhammad as a true prophet by defining a prophet as "a messenger of a Higher Power who works on earth to bring justice and peace to humanity." As a Roman Catholic Considine it is not surprising that he does not appeal to scripture to support this definition of a prophet, but it would have been helpful if he would have provided at least some explanation of how he arrived at this definition. Even if we do not appeal to scripture, Considine's definition of a prophet proves to be untenable. The assumption seems to be that anyone who seeks "to bring justice and peace to humanity" is a messenger from a "Higher Power," that is, a prophet. What if a member of the occult becomes a humanitarian leader? Would Considine be willing to recognize a devil worshipper as a prophet? Probably not. Clearly Considine's definition of a prophet is too broad.[1]
But the basic problem with Considine's argument is not his definition of what a prophet is. His basic problem is that he is not a Christian. Considine anticipates that his recognition of Muhammad as a prophet might cause people "to question my credibility as a self-professed Christian." He explains, "People might say, 'Jesus is the only way. You've turned your back on God. You're no longer Christian.'" It does seem that Considine is indeed contradicting John 14:6 by teaching that Muhammad offers a way to God in addition to Jesus. However, Considine more clearly demonstrates that his claim to be a Christian is false in statements that do not have to do with how he views Muhammad.
by Michael Hayes
In our day, when divisiveness is coming to be considered a virtue, we face a difficult challenge. Some people relate to others by emphasizing the differences between them while other people relate by emphasizing the commonalities.
I suppose there is a time for each but of this I am sure: Those who live exclusively by the rule that our differences matter more than our commonalities will never receive the blessing Jesus pronounced on the peacemakers. He certainly had his times of clashing with the religious leaders who had so much to lose if they agreed with Jesus, but with the vast majority of people Jesus was amazingly inclusive.
I am convinced — from watching Jesus and history and current events — that our first instincts must always be toward inclusiveness, toward cherishing our commonalities. We must at times be exclusive, of course, but let's let the other person decide to be our enemy before we consider him to be an enemy.
One of the current areas of great tension is the relation between Jews, Christians and Muslims. There are some very real differences between the three but we dare not neglect the deep commonalities. We who are Christian will never relinquish our center in Jesus Christ. Ours is a lifetime, unconditional commitment to Christ as Lord and Savior. But we must be very careful to avoid defending our borders, our edges as fervently as we do our center.
We have a history, especially in America, of breaking fellowship with anyone who doesn't share in the whole of our thinking. Conservatives, for instance, often seem convinced that those nasty Liberals aren't even Christian at all. And those who baptize only adults sometimes look with scorn on those who practice infant baptism. Those who baptize by dunking tend to have little respect for those who drip a bit of water on the head. On and on we go, criticizing and separating from one another to form countless denominations and independent congregations. We seem to think the form of baptism, which distinguishes one group from another, is more important than our common commitment to Christ, which unites us.
No wonder we have trouble getting along with Jews and especially Muslims! If we cannot value our common center with one another, how can we find any commonalities with Jews and Muslims? The fault is ours, not theirs (except for those who want to focus on the differences.)
A Christian who traveled often to Egypt was asked once, "Is Allah the same as God or is Allah a false god?" The answer was emphatic: "Allah is not God." What a profound misunderstanding! In the first place, the word "Allah" is simply the normal Arabic word for God. And the word "God" is simply the Saxon word for supernatural beings. In the second place, by "Allah" Islam means the Creator and the Lord of Abraham as portrayed in Genesis. Whether we agree with the Islamic interpretation of the story of God and his people, we cannot honestly deny that Christian and Muslim each intend to worship and serve the one Creator.
To see a perfect example of what it looks like when we emphasize commonalities rather than differences, take the time to become acquainted with a group called the Abrahamic Alliance International. < abrahamicalliance.org >
Or, to think about the matter from a different perspective, read the story told about Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 7. Jesus has a fascinating exchange with an unclean, Gentile woman, someone about as low as one could get in the eyes of some people. They have a lively exchange in which she shows she is in perfect tune with Jesus. He grants her prayer and sends her on her way. He never once suggested that she should convert to become a Jew or even become his follower. He simply blesses and commends her. If Jesus did not insist that she become like him, who are we to insist that everyone else become like us???
It was very difficult for the Confessing Church in Germany to come to grips with the anti-Semitism fomented by the Nazis. The prejudice was so deeply rooted in the German mentality that even for the Confessing Church, opposed as it was to Hitler, to realize what a clear stand was needed against anti-Semitism. Bonhoeffer, who certainly was one of the first to grasp the full reality of the situation, spoke out but cautiously at first…
What Bonhoeffer knew
After I'd given a talk to mark the 70th anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's execution, I got a letter complaining that Bonhoeffer had been drained dry of meaning and was of no more use to the church. Here's what I replied.
Bonhoeffer was theological. We don't all have to write two doctoral theses by the age of 24. But we do have to approach every challenge as fundamentally a question about God. The German Christians were seduced into treating the führer as God. Bonhoeffer and the Confessing Church saw that the problem with the Nazis was first a theological problem.
Bonhoeffer was about Jesus. The Bonhoeffer of popular theology is the one who talks from prison about the "world come of age" and "religionless Christianity." But what put him in prison was Jesus. The church fears that when it says the word Jesus it's assuming an imperialistic oppressive voice that dominates, excludes, or devalues other voices. The church has too often assumed such a voice. But Jesus doesn't assume such a voice. Bonhoeffer knew that when the church stops talking about Jesus, it has nothing to say. And when it assumes dominance, it's not talking about Jesus.
Bonhoeffer was ecumenical. The vital conversation that convinced Bonhoeffer to return to Germany in 1939 was with George Bell, Anglican bishop of Chichester. They became friends in the 1920s ecumenical movement, when denominations really mattered. They matter less now. The days when we could forget about the world and concentrate on our arguments with other Christians are passing. Ecumenical discord is a luxury of the complacent church. We need each other. If we feel the church is weak, it's because we've limited what we're looking at when we use the word church.
Bonhoeffer was international. He understood that Germany and the church weren't the same thing. Western Christians are slowly realizing that they aren't the majority of the church or the part that matters most. Christianity doesn't fundamentally belong to them. Bonhoeffer may be a dead white Western male, but his legacy points us in global directions. When people say Christianity is in decline, you have to ask which map they're looking at.
Bonhoeffer was politically engaged. There were Christians in 1930s Germany who thought salvation was about saving souls and it wasn't their business to get involved in politics. That reasoning left 6 million Jews dead and ten times that number dead globally. Politics is the name we give to resolving differences short of violence. If you don't do politics, you end up doing violence.
Bonhoeffer was rooted in an accountable community. He saw that for his Confessing Church to have any backbone, it needed to be led by pastors who took for granted the simple, straightforward practices of daily prayer, the confession of sin, the studying of scripture, and the sharing of communion. His book Life Together describes that uncompromising, uncluttered set of priorities. Community is easier to theorize about than to practice, but it's still the center of the church's renewal.
Bonhoeffer was prepared to face danger. One of the assumptions I find bewildering yet widespread in the church is that if one is a good Christian, one's days will be long and one shall multiply and one's valleys will grow rich with corn. Most of the people in the Bible face danger, hardship, crisis, tragedy, and fear. Those are the places God most often shows up. God is close to the poor, not because there's anything holy about poverty, but because those in poverty face such things all the time, and that's what brings them face to face with God. Bonhoeffer wrestled with this in 1939. He could do so much good from the safe distance of America, but he was called to be in the place of danger. We face the same choices.
"Christ kept himself from suffering till his hour had come, but when it did come he met it has a free man, and mastered it. Christ, so the scriptures tell us, bore the sufferings of all humanity in his own body as if they were his own–a thought beyond our comprehension–accepting them of his own free will. We are certainly not Christ; we are not called to redeem by our own deeds and sufferings, and we need not try to assume such an impossible burden. We are not lords, but instruments in the hand of the Lord of history; and we can share in other people's sufferings only to a very limited degree. We are not Christ, but if we want to be Christians, we must have some share in Christ's large-heartedness by acting with responsibility and in freedom when the hour of danger comes, and by showing a real sympathy that springs, not from fear, but from the liberating and redeeming love of Christ for all who suffer. Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. The Christian is called to sympathy and actions, not in the first place by his own suffering, but by the sufferings of his brethren, for who sake Christ suffered."
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years in Letters & Papers From Prison, 13-14.

JONATHAN Margetts' 55th-minute strike inflicted a first defeat of the season on Oxford City in their Vanarama Conference North clash at Harrogate Town on Saturday, writes MATTHEW BRUCE.
City created numerous chances against a highly-fancied Harrogate side, but failed to take any of them.
However, it was the hosts, chasing their first win of the season, who carved out the best opportunities in the opening minutes.
Adam Nowakovski went close to putting the home side in front after four minutes, seeing his header blocked on the line.
Moments later, Simon Leni-ghan's deflected shot drifted narrowly wide and Margetts' headed effort just missed the target from the resulting cor-ner.
City came back into the game and almost edged themselves in front when Tom Winters' cross-cum-shot clipped the bar.
Just a minute later Adi Yussuf had an effort blocked in front of goal, but Felipe Barcelos was unable to bring the ball under control quickly enough on the rebound, allowing Harrogate goalkeeper Phil Barnes to snuff out the danger.
The second half was ten minutes old when the hosts finally made the breakthrough.
Margetts latched onto an excellent through ball before slotting home past City keeper Mark Scott and into the bottom left-hand corner.
City continued to threaten as they went in search of an equaliser, committing more men forward the longer the game wore on.
Winters drew a flying save with an excellent curling shot which was heading for the top corner.
And Yussuf was also foiled by the Harrogate keeper as his bobbling attempt was tipped just wide.
But despite carving out a number of good chances City could find no way through as the hosts held on for their first win of the season.
Oxford City: Scott, Benjamin, Stonehouse, Del Alamo, Brown, Green, Barcelos (Afolabi 68), Pond, Yussuf (Wilson 82), Rodriguez, Winters. Subs not used: Malone, Arnau, Henderson.
Referee: S Lucas.
Attendance: 398.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WKRN) – A third suspect has been arrested in the October 2014 shooting death of a Papa John's employee.
DA Brent Cooper confirmed to News 2 that police arrested Majestick Gillespie, 21, after he was indicted by a grand jury on Nov. 28.
He's accused along with two others—Kavoyeh Pye and Darious Fitzpatrick—in the murder of Gordon Schaffer.
Schaffer, 22, was the only one inside the Papa John's on Shady Brook Street when the robbery happened. Police said he was on the phone with his manager who heard the robbery through the phone, hung up and called police.
The suspects had Schaffer open the cash register and, even though he complied their demands, ultimately shot him. He died later at the hospital.
Fitzpatrick, who was 17 at the time of his arrest, told police he shot the 22-year-old "to kill him." He is charged with first degree murder, felony murder and especially aggravated robbery.
Pye, also 17, was identified as the second suspect months after the crime occurred. He ultimately turned himself in on charges of felony murder and especially aggravated robbery.
Gillespie faces charges of first-degree murder and especially aggravated robbery.

HOMESTEAD, Fla., (Feb. 26, 2000) - Joe Ruttman, driver of the ...
HOMESTEAD, Fla., (Feb. 26, 2000) - Joe Ruttman, driver of the #18 DANA Dodge, led all Dodge Rams by earning a fourth place finish at today's running of the fifth annual Florida Dodge Dealers 400K at the 1.5 mile Homestead-Miami Speedway. Ruttman, who started on the pole, led the first 23 laps while running in the top five all afternoon en-route to earning Dodge its best finish this season. Other Dodge Rams finishing, in order, were Randy Tolsma (sixth), Steve Grissom (11th). Mike Cope (15th) Randy Renfrow (25th). Dennis Setzer (32nd) and Carlos Contreras (33rd).
Joe Ruttman, #18 DANA Corporation Dodge Ram, Finished Fourth
"We got a little closer with our DANA Dodge today, but we just weren't fast enough to catch the leaders. My crew did a super job getting this Dodge prepared to race and I wanted to bring them and Dodge a win. To qualify on the pole here and run in the top five all day is a credit to the Dodge engineers and this race team. We still have a ways to go but we know that we're heading in the right direction."
Randy Tolsma, #25 Supergard Motor Oil Dodge Ram, Finished Sixth
"I wish that we could have finished five spots higher, but otherwise a real solid job today for this Supergard Motor Oil Dodge. We just never missed a beat all day, Our only problem was trying to deal with the lapped traffic. My crew did a great job getting me out of the pits and saved us track position all day. We struggled a bit with understanding what our Goodyear tires liked, but we got a handle on it as the race went on. We'll just take this sixth place finish and head for Phoenix."
Steve Grissom, #43 Dodge Motorsports Dodge Ram, Finished 11th
"We did our best to bring Dodge home a win at their sponsored event. Overall, a good day for our Dodge by Petty team. We just couldn't seem to gain track position on the leaders at anytime during the race. Traffic became a problem midway through the race which forced you to be a little cautious in the corners. Considering that it is only my second race in this series and the first here at Homestead, I'm pleased with our results."
Dennis Setzer, #1 Mopar Performance Dodge Ram, Finished 32nd
"Our Mopar Dodge was running flawlessly until we broke something off the front of the crank shaft. We're still not sure what and how, all we do know is that it caused a series of chain reactions underneath the hood which ripped all the belts off the motor. It really caught me by surprise because there wasn't any indication that the truck was in trouble. Once we got it behind the wall, we saw the damage was too excessive which marked end of our day. We just don't seem to have the greatest luck here at Homestead. Last year we broke a motor on the first lap and today you saw what happened. This K-Automotive Mopar Dodge team will bounce back, I guarantee it."

During the week, Luis Escudero plays a key role in helping to prepare U.S. Army troops for their missions in the Middle East, all the while being a full-time father to two teenage daughters.
On the weekends, Escudero unwinds by riding bareback broncs. He's done it well enough to earn berths in the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo the past four years. This year, Escudero earned his ticket to the March 16-19 event in Pocatello, Idaho, by winning the bareback riding aggregate riding title at the First Frontier Circuit Finals.
At 44, Escudero will be one of the oldest competitors at the DNCFR. The fact that he competes in bareback riding, considered one of the most physically demanding of all rodeo events, makes his accomplishment all the more impressive.
Yet, Escudero simply shakes off the age factor. He?s been competing in rodeo for the past 22 years because he enjoys it.
"We ask each other, 'What keeps you going?' And I don't think there's one thing that I can say, 'Hmmm, that's why.' It's healthy. It beats watching TV," Escudero said.
Escudero has nurtured a love for rodeo for as long as he can remember. He grew up in a ranching family and wanted to take up rodeo full time after high school. However, his father intervened.
"I had to go to school," said Escudero, 44, of Vado, N.M. "My dad wouldn't let me not go to school."
Escudero earned a degree in electrical engineering that helped him land a job as a civilian employee of the U.S. Army. In his Army job, Escudero helps prepare materials U.S. troops will use when they deploy to various locations around the globe.
With U.S. Army troops in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, Escudero's job has grown more demanding.
"It's 12 hours a day now," Escudero said. "With the things going on over in the Middle East, some of the weapons or the material the Army uses gets accelerated from the normal pace."
Even so, Escudero finds time to compete. He takes pride in the fact that he's qualified for all the major U.S. rodeos and had ridden some of the best bareback broncs around.
"It's something I've always wanted to do so bad," Escudero said. "I'd like to do it full time, but I've got to feed my family."
So, he'll take pride when he arrives in Pocatello to compete in the DNCFR, because he likens it to the (Wrangler) NFR for part-time competitors. If a world champ or other big-name cowboy shows up to compete, it's even better.
"It doesn't bother me one bit," Escudero said. "I like it better. In the rodeo arena, you're really competing against the animal. The points fall where they fall. That's the beauty of the thing."

How To Not Be Intimidated; Lessons From My Olympic Boxing Trainer
Today I worked out with with my boxing trainer Sammy. He fought in the 1988 Olympics and trains boxers at Wild Card Gym, one of the places where fighters like Miguel Cotto, and Manny Pacquiao train.
I asked him the number one thing that people need to take away from boxing mentally.
He said that you need to not be phased by intimidation. One of the things that I've learned to get over fear and intimidation is to practice more than anyone else.
Don't let others intimidate you.
Reverse it back. Whether it's in something like boxing or business, competition or bad family situations, never be a pushover.
How do you deal with handling intimidation?

Alice Springs to Kununurra
Alice Springs – Kununurra
- West MacDonnell Ranges
- Newhaven Reserve
- Tanami and Duncan Outback Road
- Wolf Creek Crater
- Lake Stretch
- Keep River National Park
- Lake Argyle Cruise
Explore some of the most remote areas in the Eastern Kimberley in WA and the Northern Territory at a relaxed pace with a small group of like-minded people. We expect the wildlife to be plentiful, and the scenery and sunsets to be spectacular.
We will start the tour with 2 nights spent exploring the vast and spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges, an outstanding example of an ancient landscape sculptured over time by climatic elements.
Leaving the West MacDonnell's behind we move onto Newhaven Station. Covering approx.262,000 hectares and situated, at the junction of three bioregions (the Great Sandy Desert, MacDonnell Ranges and Burt Plain) Newhaven Station is a wildlife sanctuary co-managed by Birds Australia and the Australian Wildlife Conservancy. The scenery is spectacular, from parallel dunes to salt lakes, clay pans, plains country and rocky ranges. It is a hot spot for the wildlife of central Australia. At least 15 nationally threatened species of plants and birds call the area home. 138 species of bird has been recorded in the area.
Intriguingly, Newhaven is also the site of one of the latest sightings of a pair of Night Parrots. Surveys to date have recorded 107 plant species with future surveys expected to reveal more. Eighteen of the recorded species are not represented in any other Northern Territory reserve, and seven are of special conservation significance – Mallee Copper Burr or Small-flower Saltbush Sclerolaena parviflora, Desert Broombush Daviesia eremaea, Goodenia refracta, Abutilon lepidum, Spartothamnella puberula, Amaranthus
pallidiflorus and Eucalyptus aff. intertexa.
From Newhaven we head onto the Tanami Road and continue west. We will have two nights camping on the Tanami before visiting lake Stretch (Nyarna) in search of bird life found around the lake, including the Black Necked Stork, Brolgas, Black Swans and Spoonbills.
No Tanami trip would be complete without a visit to The Wolf Creek Crater which we visit on our way into Halls Creek. From Halls Creek we head up the less travelled Duncan Highway to the Keep River National Park. The park offers great walks, Aboriginal art, diverse wildlife and spectacular geology.
The final highlight for the trip will be a cruise on Lake Argyle (a RAMSAR Wetland) where we have recorded over 240 species of birds on or around the lake. Some of these most sought after species that can be found include the Yellow Chat, Purple Crowned Fairy Wren and the Long Toed Stint.

Having now taken two trips with Coates Wildlife Tours and both having been so successful, yet so different I could do no more than highly recommend them to anyone wishing to see Australia. Travelling with Coates gives maximum return for every dollar spent and leaves impressions of Australia which one will long remember. One golden rule worth remembering is when you are onto a good thing stay with it. When you give them a try I'm sure you will feel the same way about Coates."

Nurturing a culture of vocations in our diocese
By Mary P. Walker
Senior Correspondent
National Vocations Awareness Week was celebrated Nov. 2-8. During that week and throughout the year, parishes are encouraged to focus on creating a "culture of vocations" for the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life.
"A culture of vocations is one that provides the necessary support for others to hear and respond to God's call in their lives," said Bishop Michael Burbidge of Raleigh, N.C., chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations.
How well is the Diocese of Austin fostering this culture of vocations? Father Jonathan Raia, diocesan Vocations director, believes we have made great strides. There are currently 46 seminarians preparing to become diocesan priests, including 13 who began the seven to nine year process this fall. All of the new seminarians are from within the diocese.
Because some seminarians may eventually realize that God is not calling them to the priesthood, Father Raia cannot project ordinations more than a few years into the future. For the next five years, he expects that an average of about five priests will be ordained, with six in 2015 and 2016.
One area of concern in the U.S. and our diocese is that the number of native-born Hispanic priests is low compared to the population of Hispanic Catholics. Father Raia is pleased that five of the new seminarians are of Hispanic heritage, and four are bilingual.
"We are very grateful for the generous men who have come to our diocese from other countries, but we really need to work to foster a culture of vocations among our Hispanic community here so that more young men come forward and receive the support of their family to serve as priests," Father Raia said.
In addition to the diocesan seminarians, there are also 24 men and 21 women in formation for religious life, including four men and three women who entered formation this year. In the last year, four men were ordained priests in their religious orders and four women professed their final vows.
While the "numbers" indicate that our diocese is well on the way to creating a culture of vocations, there is always more to do, Father Raia said. In such a culture, it would be "normal" for young men and women to consider the priesthood and religious life as they pray and think about their future. All parents would pray for their children to discern God's will, and would help them if they want to explore the possibility of a religious vocation. All parishes would pray regularly and publicly for God to raise up young men and women within their parish to serve the church as a priest or consecrated religious.
One way to foster this prayer is through the St. Therese Vocation Society. Because she fervently prayed for priests and missionaries, St. Therese of Lisieux is the patron saint of vocations. Through the society, we are invited to join her prayers. The membership commitments are simple, and center on prayer and offering sufferings for vocations, priests and religious.
For elementary school children, there is the Junior Society, which is a great resource for preparing children for their first holy Communion. Many priests and religious have reported that they first heard God's call during that time in their lives. After receiving the Eucharist, children commit to praying for priests and religious, and ask Jesus to help them and their classmates discover God's will for their lives.
Action accompanies prayer in a culture of vocations. When a young person demonstrates the qualities of a good priest, brother or sister, we can directly encourage that person to consider the priesthood or religious life.
"The number three seems to be critical in making a difference in the life of someone contemplating a vocation," said Father Shawn McKnight, USCCB's executive director of Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations. "When three or more people encourage someone to consider a religious vocation, he or she is far more likely to take serious steps toward answering that call."
Father Raia asks us to think of young men and women who are prayerful, generous, joyful and have attractive personalities.
"Pick the right moment, and tell them the qualities you've seen. Ask them to consider whether God is calling them. Don't push — just invite. You will be surprised at how God will use this to tug at the person's heart," Father Raia said.
New seminarian Callan Sweeney of Emmaus Parish in Lakeway said, "I was in high school when I was first asked if I had ever considered becoming a priest by a young adult we volunteered with in our youth group. The funny thing was it had never honestly crossed my mind."
A friend of fourth year seminarian Paul-Michael Piega of St. Mary Catholic Center in College Station suggested that God had blessed him with the qualities that make a good priest.
"To hear about your gifts from others is a completely affirming experience. There are many times that a person is unable to honestly see what he or she can do in a given situation, but if someone else notices, you have a fuller sense of what traits you really have," Piega said.
Looking forward to being ordained a priest in June, Deacon Hai Nguyen of St. William Parish in Round Rock believes those who encouraged him were cooperating with the Holy Spirit.
"I am so thankful to them, and I am very grateful to God for his grace to help me accept his love and mercy in order to respond and to discern his call," Deacon Nguyen said.
Vocation resources are available online, through every parish and through the diocesan Vocations Office. For more information, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, call (512) 949-2430 or visit
