NRO's The Corner Blog
January 15, 2013
by Nina Shea
The growing severity of religious persecution against Christians internationally has been observed over the past year by sources as diverse as the Pew Research Center, The Economist, Newsweek, Commentary, and the Vatican. Identifying exactly who it believes are the 50 worst such persecutors, Open Doors, a California-based Christian group that distributes Bibles and other assistance overseas, released its annual World Watch list this month. The list only includes persecution for reasons of faith and encompasses persecution against all Christian denominations in a country.
North Korea tops the sub-category of "extreme" persecution, followed by nine Muslim countries (Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Maldives, Mali, Iran, Yemen, and Syria), and Eritrea as number eleven. Other categories include "severe," "moderate," and "sparse" persecution, with persecuting countries ranked in descending order of severity. While the list takes into account the whole world, no European or North American country is identified for "persecution," and only one South American country, Columbia, makes the list, ranked, among the "moderate" persecutors.
Separately, Representative Frank Wolf (R., Va.) recently issued a letter to 300 Protestant and Catholic leaders in the West, calling on them to use their influence to speak out on behalf of the persecuted Church around the globe. In his letter, the congressman appealed for support of the bill he introduced today with Representative Anna Eshoo (D., Calif.) to create a special envoy position within the State Department that would advocate on behalf of vulnerable religious minorities — both Christian and non-Christian — in the Middle East and South Central Asia. (Last term, a similar bill backed by Wolf passed overwhelmingly in the House but was blocked in the Senate by Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, now the presumptive secretary of state.)
The envoy post is modeled on that of the special envoy for Sudan, which Wolf had also initiated in Congress in 2001. The first envoy to fill that position, former senator John Danforth, succeeded in obtaining a peace agreement that ended Sudan's North-South conflict, and which led, a decade later, to the creation of the new country of South Sudan.
In his letter to the clergy, Wolf quoted the World War II-era German Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed for his efforts to resist the Nazis, who famously said, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Doughnuts
I haven't allowed myself to buy new baking pans in forever. It's not that I don't want to, I simply don't have room to store them anymore! Some are in heavy rotation and there are a few others I only break out once or twice a year, yet I can't seem to part with any of them. I have two doughnut pans, and while I probably only need one, they're different shapes and they were both cheap so it was easy to justify when I bought them.
I've actually been pleasantly surprised by how much use they've gotten. I could easily name 5 other baking pans that spend a lot more time gathering dust on the shelf :) When I want doughnuts quickly and don't feel like frying, baking in the doughnut pans is the answer, so I don't for a minute regret keeping those pans around.
That said, sometimes only fried doughnuts will do, and I've been majorly craving them ever since the weather started to cool down. A few years ago I made an apple cider doughnut that was delicious; I gave some consideration to repeating that recipe but in the end decided these pumpkin doughnuts looked too good to pass up. And it was definitely the right call! I made the mistake of frying these up while I was all alone down at Shane's parents house a few weekends ago, and had to exercise some serious restraint not to eat my weight in them. Slightly crisp on the outside and so tender inside, they were amazing! I might even go so far as to say they're my favorite homemade doughnuts to date. I'm already looking for an excuse to make them again this fall :)
One quick note in case you decide to try these - the dough is pretty sticky. The recipe calls for it to be chilled for several hours before shaping and I wouldn't advise trying to skip that step. I even refrigerated mine overnight and still found it sticky. Don't be afraid to flour both your work surface and your cutters so you can handle the dough more easily. I just gently brushed off the excess flour with a pastry brush once I'd cut the dough. The end result was totally worth it!
Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Doughnuts
adapted from Bon Appetit, October 2004 (via Pinch My Salt and Annie's Eats)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
canola oil, for frying
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves together in a medium bowl. In a measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and pumpkin puree, whisking until blended. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until well blended. Mix in the egg, the egg yolks and the vanilla, beating until completely incorporated. With the mixer on low, alternately add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and pumpkin/buttermilk mixture in 2, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (it'll need at least 3 hours - I left mine in the fridge overnight and fried the next morning).
Add enough oil to a large Dutch oven to measure about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in depth. Set the pan over medium heat. Let it start getting hot while you cut out the doughnuts - you're looking to get it to between 365 and 370 F on a candy thermometer. Prep the coating by stirring the sugar and cinnamon together in a wide bowl.
Meanwhile, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. It'll probably be a little tacky so you may need to add flour as you go. Roll the dough until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut rounds from the dough (you'll probably want to flour the cutter). To cut the holes in the center of the doughnuts use a small cutter (the wide end of a large piping tip works well). Save the centers - you can make doughnut holes with them! Gather and reroll the scraps to cut more doughnuts.
When the oil reaches the desired temperature, add a few doughnuts at a time and fry them for 3-4 minutes total (flipping once so both sides cook evenly), or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spider strainer to remove the doughnuts from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined cooking rack. Let the oil come back up to temperature before continuing to fry more doughnuts. The doughnuts holes will require less time to cook, about 1-2 minutes total (remember to flip at least once).
When the doughnuts are still slightly warm, coat them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture on both sides. The doughnuts are best shortly after being fried.

Awesome looking donuts! I need to make donuts with pumpkin before pumpkin season is over this year. Ive made them in past years, but not this year. I need to get busy!

I bought a doughnut pan awhile back and I have to say they're just not the same as doughnuts. They're cake, which I like, but they don't replace the hot crispy goodness of a freshly fried doughnut. Love this!

Ooh, these sound wonderful! I've made lots of baked donuts, but have yet to try an authentic fried recipe. I need to change that soon!

These look fantastic! I had to stop buying baking pans, too, but sometimes having those fun kitchen items encourage me to be a little more adventurous (I think I'm justifying buying a doughnut pan!).

MMMMmmmm...I would love to have one of these right now. Sometimes nothing beats a fried donut!

In my tiny apt kitchen, you would be surprised by how much I have fit into it, including three different doughnut pans! But I have never tried frying them before, oddly enough. The baked ones just arn't enough sometimes, but I just go buy them cause a big pot of oil scares me.

I have always been such a fool for cinnamon sugar doughnuts and the pumpkin in these is definitely a "cherry on top", if you will. :-)

What exactly are all these baking pans? I have one pan that I might consider unusual, and my imagination is short on what else someone might have. I wouldn't have even thought of doughnuts if this weren't a doughnut post!

Love that you fried these, Tracey - that's how a donut should be! ;) They look mouthwatering and perfect for a chilly fall morning!

- Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious said...
I totally know what you mean! I don't have any space for any more baking pans either! But thank goodness I have a donut pan so I can make these ASAP! I've been eating something pumpkin-related every day so this is definitely next on my list!

Whoa, I love the color of the doughnuts, looks sugary and delicious!! There's nothing like a doughnut hot out of the fryer...my favorite in the fall was going apple picking and eating fresh apple cider doughnuts :)

- amanda @ fake ginger said...
Oh man, these look amazing. I really try to avoid making doughnuts but I need these in my life.

Those doughnuts look like pillows of pumpkin perfection! We wanted doughnuts yesterday and the one doughnut place in our area was sold out of pretty much everything. It made me wish I was in New England where doughnut shops are more plentiful.
I remember when I joined TWD I felt like I was constantly buying pans; both ones I needed to make recipes and also just ones I saw on other blogs and thought were neat. I need to use my doughnut pan more often. :) - November 5, 2012 at 10:27 PM

These look amazing! I love anything pumpkin, and donuts, so this is amazing! I'll have to try these!

Oh yum! I've never been brave enough to make doughnuts the old fashioned way. I just have my little donut pan that I bake them in. But, these look fantastic!!!

- Becca said...
I would totally make fried doughnuts, if only I would so terrified of oil splattering. Even when I pour BBQ sauce on skillet chicken I'm afraid of the spatter. I'm like stretched out trying to flip the chicken. I'm just a mess.
Delicious looking doughnuts though :) - November 7, 2012 at 4:08 PM

These look wonderful! I definitely need to use my donut pan more.

more trivia

Re: more triviaThere was a day when Latin was widely taught in US high schools. It was almost expected that a well-educated person would have studied Latin at some point. I never did take Latin (although my parents did). Is Latin taught in many high schools these days? Does anyone take it? (I'm excluding Catholic parochial schools from this inquiry--I assume they still teach Latin.)
Re: more triviadoggerel my father brought up when I embarked on my first two years of Latin:
Latin is a dead-dead language As dead as dead can be It killed off all the Romans And now it's killing me
Re: more triviaVeni, vidi, vici.
Re: more trivia
Yes, most.
Re: more trivia
Why? Doctors used to "need" it but most med students even from my era (early 80s) did not take it.
Re: more triviaLaw dudes used to "need" it too, and there are still a lot of legal maxims that are widely referred to by lawyers and judges. But you can learn the maxims, and what they mean, without learning a whole language.
I never learned Latin and it didn't inhibit my career one bit.
Re: more triviaso remind me again what forum my post belonged??
Re: more trivia
Because a student's schedule is determined by their parents, and many parents see the advantages of knowing a language that many English words come from. As I said, even my own mediocre skirmishes with Latin got me ahead of the curve in my communication skills.
Re: more trivia
I'm guessing your response is colored by your experience, which isn't in the public school system. I did a quick google, and on one Q&A forum, found this response (from an avatar, so who knows about the credentials). <<Many school districts are not hiring any teachers at all due to budget cuts, like in the city I live in, which is one of the top 20 in terms of population. Additionally, Latin is offered at very few secondary schools any more. (I've spoken at perhaps fifty schools in five different states and I always ask which foreign languages they offer. None, so far, has offered Latin or Greek.) Reported statistics vary as to how many public schools in America even offer Latin - the figure I've heard is around 3%, and typically, enrollment isn't very high. A higher percentage of private - especially Catholic - schools offer at least a year or two, but again . . . it's not a popular class, and many schools have cut back. In Australia and the UK, reported figures range from 5% to 10%, but apparently many of the schools which "offer" it do so only online.>> ps--that was a February 2010 posting.
Re: more triviaI was a bit surprised by Marlow's response to my question, and not at all surprised by what gh found. That's what I would have guessed.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mandarin is taught in as many US public high schools as Latin.
Re: more trivia
Jacksonville (Duval County School Board) is not the premier school system in the state, and here's their language offerings: http://www.duvalschools.org/static/abou ... erings.asp As you can see, 7 of the 21 high schools offer Latin. ALL the larger private schools do. I retract the 'most' statement and replace it with 'many'. Extrapolating this data, I'll say closer to 40% of FL schools do.
Re: more triviaAnd I'll retract some of my skepticism as to whether kids are really studying Latin these days in any substantial numbers. This article is 4 years old, but I have no reason to think the trend it describes has abated.
Re: more triviaI wonder if Florida might have a higher rate of Latin learners because the old standby, Spanish, doesn't apply to a significant portion of the populace? (no, not meant as an immigrant joke of any sort; just simple demographics)

My first impression of the 2009 Toyota Tundra. At first glance you may miss it, but it really makes an impression on you once it comes into your life. You may find yourself lying around thinking about it for ten to fifteen minutes before you even realize what happened. After it hits you, it'll take several people to get it out of your mind. The only downside is it seems to have a lot of blind spots which is common for a vehicle this size. If you ever run into one of these, my condolences.

I've been searching the web looking for a light switch to fit my needs. I'm disabled and have been trying to get everything in my room easily accsesable to me. So far all of my audio, video, fan and A/C and heat wall unit all are controllable by my Logitech harmony 700 remote. I'm trying to find a switch that can easily replace my wall light switch to work with my Logitech remote or my iPhone. Any help would be great. Thanks Jeremy. | |||
Maybe this company will help. http://www.smarthome.com/_/index.aspx | ||||
I don't know if this is any help, but you can get a motion activated light switch at any big box diy store. It will turn on a light when you enter and shut off after you leave | ||||
Have you contacted any companies which retrofit specifically for disabled people? We regularly attend senior health expos and the expos sponsored by the local Area Agency on Aging, and there are typically a handful of companies which focus on retrofitting homes with "assistiv devices". If you haven't already tried such companies, let me know and I'll go through my bags of literature and find the names of some companies. They might very well be local though. in what area of the US do you live? | ||||
go to www.myharmony.com and the techs there will help you with any set up issues you have with your remote. they will also help you find what brand of device will interface with there system to make your lighting work for you they are there to help you. so there aid says! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1geyoxeifk0&list=TLCjiCHNF4Km-K01r9YCvOX7MfpQ97FJEt | ||||

Addressing policymakers in Davos, Cameron said the questions of fairer taxes, more open trade and greater transparency apply just as much to the developed countries of the G8 as to poorer nations.
And he dismissed the idea that speaking out on the issue of taxes and transparency made him anti-capitalism or anti-business.
Poor practice by some firms has an impact on those that play by the rules, he said.
There is a difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance, he added, "but there are some forms of avoidance (that) have become so aggressive that I think it is right to say these raise ethical issues, and it's time to call for more responsibility and for governments to act accordingly."
"I'm a 'low tax' Conservative but I'm not a 'companies should pay no tax' Conservative," added Cameron, who heads Britain's Conservative Party.
Meanwhile, transparency about the flow of money is key to poorer countries moving from poverty to growth, Cameron said.
"Like everything else in this G8, the ambitions are big, and I make no apology for that," he said. "We can be the generation that eradicates absolute poverty in our world," he said, but only if leaders focus on the cause, not the symptoms.
CNN's Richard Quest said Cameron's attempt to go after tax cheats could be seen as good populist politics and an easy shot as he tries to distract from other matters.
No cherry-picking
On Wednesday, Cameron promised that if his party wins the 2015 general election, the country would get to vote on whether Britain stays in the European Union on the basis of a renegotiated deal, or leaves.
The referendum should not be held until it's clear how changes made after the crisis in the eurozone works out, he said, but will be held in the first half of the next parliament.
The long-awaited speech was met with approval by those in his party who want to see Britain get some powers back from the EU, as well as a reduction in legislation they say holds back businesses.
But critics -- including his party's coalition partner, the Liberal Democrats -- say now is not the time to create uncertainty among businesses and industry over Britain's future in the European Union.
It is also unclear whether the other 26 members of the European Union would be willing to renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership.
France and others have made it clear that the British leader cannot "cherry-pick" which elements of the EU he signs up to, or risk unraveling the union to suit British interests.
U.S. President Barack Obama has also said that "the United States values a strong UK in a strong European Union."
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave Cameron some room for maneuver, indicating she is open to discussions on a "fair compromise."
She is also due to give a speech Thursday at Davos, the annual forum that this year is attended by nearly 40 world leaders and more than 2,000 executives.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, speaking at Davos Wednesday, predicted Britain would remain in the EU.
"I am confident that if there is to be a referendum one day, the UK citizens will decide to stay in the EU and contribute to shape its future," he said. He added, however, "I think the EU does not need unwilling Europeans."
Britain is a net contributor to the European Union and an important player in the single market, which may give Cameron some additional sway. But critics warn he is taking a big gamble.
Former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who leads the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament, warned against trying "hold the EU to ransom."

A measure of Apple's success: Oppenheimer cites Japan
Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer took a minute during Tuesday's earnings conference call to cite Apple's success in Japan -- an important metric in a country where national brands were once invincible.
"In Japan, IDC Japan announced that iPhone gained the number one position for all of calendar year 2012, as well as for calendar Q4 2012 in both handsets and smartphones," Oppenheimer said.
He continued. "This is also the first time a non-Japanese company has achieved the No. 1 spot for an entire year...In addition, Apple was ranked No. 1 in Nikkei'… Read more
