Religious persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or group of individuals as a response to their religious beliefs or affiliations or lack thereof.
The tendency of societies or groups within society to alienate or repress different subcultures is a recurrent theme in human history. Moreover, because a person's religion often determines to a significant extent his or her morality, worldview, self-image, attitudes towards others, and overall personal identity, religious differences can be significant cultural, personal, and social factors.
Religious persecution may be triggered by religious bigotry (i.e. the denigration of practitioners' religions other than those of the oppressors) or by the State when it views a particular religious group as a threat to its interests or security. At a societal level, this dehumanization of a particular religious group may readily turn into violence or other forms of persecution. Indeed, in many countries, religious persecution has resulted in so much violence that it is considered a human rights problem.

Religious persecution can be considered the opposite of freedom of religion. Religious persecution may also affect atheists in that they may be denounced as being amoral or be persecuted by the religious on the grounds that they are godless.
Often it is the alleged persecution of individuals within a group - in the attempt to maintain their religious identity, or the exercise of power by an individual or organization - that causes members of a religious group to suffer. Persecution in this case may refer to confiscation or destruction of property, incitement to hate, arrest, imprisonment, beatings, torture, and execution.
Denial of civil rights on the basis of religion is most often described as religious discrimination, rather than religious persecution.
Other acts of violence, such as war, torture, and ethnic cleansing not aimed at religion in particular, may nevertheless take on the qualities of religious persecution when one or more of the parties involved are characterized by religious homogeneity; an example being when conflicting populations that belong to different ethnic groups often also belong to different religions or denominations. The difference between religious and ethnic identity might sometimes be obscure (see: Ethnoreligious); cases of genocide of the 20th century cannot be explained in full by citing religious differences.1
Nazi antisemitism provides another example of the contentious divide between ethnic and religious persecution, because Nazi propaganda tended to construct its image of Jews as race, and de-emphasized Jews as being defined by their religion. The Shoah made no distinction between secular Jews, atheistic Jews, orthodox Jews and Jews that had converted to Christianity.
The descriptive use of the term religious persecution is rather difficult. Religious persecution has taken place at least since the antiquity, and has happened in different historical, geographical and social contexts. Until the 18th century, some groups were nearly universally persecuted for their views about religion, such as atheists,2 Jews3 and zoroastrians.4
Early modern England
One period of religious persecution which has been studied extensively is early modern England, since the rejection of religious persecution, now common in the Western world, originated there. The English 'Call for Toleration' was the turning point in the Christian debate on persecution and toleration, and early modern England stands out to the historians as a time in which literally "hundreds of books and tracts were published either for or against religious toleration."5
The most ambitious chronicle of that time is W.K.Jordan's magnum opus The Development of Religious Toleration in England, 1558-1660 (four volumes, published 1932-1940). Jordan wrote as the threat of fascism rose in Europe, and this work is seen as a defense of the fragile values of humanism and tolerance.6 More recent introductions to this period are Persecution and Toleration in Protestant England, 1558–1689 (2000) by John Coffey and Charitable hatred. Tolerance and intolerance in England, 1500-1700 (2006) by Alexandra Walsham. To understand why religious persecution has occurred, historians like Coffey "pay close attention to what the persecutors said they were doing."5
Ecclesiastical dissent and civil tolerance
No religion is free from internal dissent, although the degree of dissent that is tolerated within a particular religious organization can strongly vary. This degree of diversity tolerated within a particular church is described as ecclesiastical tolerance,7 and is one form of religious toleration. However, when people nowadays speak of religious tolerance, they most often mean civil tolerance, which refers to the degree of religious diversity that is tolerated within the state.
In the absence of civil toleration, someone who finds himself in disagreement with his congregation doesn't have the option to leave and chose a different faith - simply because there is only one recognized faith in the country (at least officially). In modern western civil law any citizen may join and leave a religious organization at will; In western societies, this is taken for granted, but actually, this legal separation of Church and State only started to emerge a few centuries ago.
In the Christian debate on persecution and toleration, the notion of civil tolerance allowed Christian theologians to reconcile Jesus' commandment to love one's enemies with other parts of the New Testament that are rather strict regarding dissent within the church. Before that, theologians like Joseph Hall had reasoned from the ecclesiastical intolerance of the early Christian church in the New Testament to the civil intolerance of the Christian state.8
Religious uniformity in early modern Europe
By contrast to the notion of civil tolerance, in early modern Europe the subjects were required to attend the state church; This attitude can be described as territoriality or religious uniformity, and its underlying assumption is brought to a point by a statement of the Anglican theologian Richard Hooker: "There is not any man of the Church of England but the same man is also a member of the [English] commonwealth; nor any man a member of the commonwealth, which is not also of the Church of England."9
Before a vigorous debate about religious persecution took place in England (starting in the 1640s), for centuries in Europe, religion had been tied to territory. In England there had been several Acts of Uniformity; in continental Europe the Latin phrase "cuius regio, eius religio" had been used. Persecution meant that the state was committed to secure religious uniformity by coercive measures, as eminently obvious in a statement of Roger L'Estrange: "That which you call persecution, I translate Uniformity".10
However, in the 17th century writers like John Locke, Richard Overton and Roger William broke the link between territory and faith, which eventually resulted in a shift from territoriality to religious voluntarism.11 It was Locke, who, in his Letter Concerning Toleration, defined the state in purely secular terms:12 "The commonwealth seems to me to be a society of men constituted only for the procuring, preserving, and advancing their own civil interests."13 Concerning the church, he went on: "A church, then, I take to be a voluntary society of men, joining themselves together of their own accord."13 With this treatise, John Locke laid one of the most important intellectual foundations of the separation of church and state, which ultimately led to the secular state.
Persecution for heresy and blasphemy
The persecution of beliefs that are deemed schismatic is one thing; the persecution of beliefs that are deemed heretic or blasphemous is another. Although a public disagreement on secondary matters might be serious enough, it has often only led to religious discrimination. A public renouncement of core elements of a religious doctrine under the same circumstances, on the other hand, would have put one far greater danger. While a dissenter from its official Church was only faced with fines and imprisonment in Protestant England, six people were executed for heresy or blasphemy during the reign of Elizabeth I, and two more in 1612 under James I.14
Similarly, heretical sects like Cathars, Waldensians and Lollards were brutally suppressed in western Europe, while, at the same time, Catholic Christians lived side-by-side with 'schismatic' Orthodox Christians after the East-West Schism in the borderland of eastern Europe.15
Persecution for political reasons
More than 300 Roman Catholics were put to death by English governments between 1535 and 1681 for treason, thus for secular than religious offenses.14 In 1570, Pope Pius V had issued the bull Regnans in Excelsis, which absolved Catholics from their obligations to the government.16 This dramatically worsened the situation of the Catholics in England. English governments continued to fear Popish Plot. An English act of government from the year 1585 declared that the purpose of Jesuit missionaries who had come to Britain was "to stir up and move sedition, rebellion and open hostility".17 Consequently Jesuit priests like Saint John Ogilvie were hanged. This somehow contrasts with the image of the Elizabethan era as the time of William Shakespeare, but compared to the antecedent Marian Persecutions there is an important difference to consider. Mary I had been motivated by a religious zeal to purge heresy from her land, and during her short reign from 1553 to 1558 about 290 Protestants18 had been burned at the stake for heresy, whereas Elizabeth I of England "acted out of fear for the security of her realm."19
Although his book was written before the September 11 attacks, John Coffey explicitly compares the English fear of a Popish Plot with the contemporary Islamophobia in the Western world.20 Among the Muslims imprisoned in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp there also were Mehdi Ghezali and Murat Kurnaz who could not have been found to have any connections with terrorism, but had traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan because of their religious interests.
Early persecution of and by monotheisms
According to Jewish tradition, monotheistic Judaism arose in Egypt under the direction of Moses. Among the Ten Commandments of that religion was one that forbade the worship of any other god than Yahweh; this led to conflict when Imperial Rome extended its reach into the Middle East.
Early Christianity also came into conflict with the Roman Empire, and may have been more threatening to the established polytheistic order than had been Judaism, because of the importance of evangelism in Christianity. Under Nero, the Jewish exemption from the requirement to participate in public cults was lifted and Rome began to actively persecute monotheists. This persecution ended in 313 C.E. with the Edict of Milan, and Christianity was made the official religion of the empire in 380 C.E.. By the eighth century Christianity had attained a clear ascendancy across Europe and neighboring regions, and a period of consolidation began marked by the pursuit of heretics, heathens, Jews, Muslims, and various other religious groups.
Persecution of Christians
The Persecution of Christians can be found historically and in the current century.21 Even from the beginnings of the religion as a movement within Judaism, Early Christians were persecuted for their faith at the hands of both Jews and the Roman Empire, which controlled much of the areas where Christianity was first distributed. This continued from the first century until the early fourth, when the religion was legalised by the Edict of Milan, eventually becoming the State church of the Roman Empire. In his book, There is no crime for those who have Christ: Religious Violence in the Christian Roman Empire, Michael Gaddis wrote:
" | The Christian experience of violence during the pagan persecutions shaped the ideologies and practices that drove further religious conflicts over the course of the fourth and fifth centuries... The formative experience of martyrdom and persecution determined the ways in which later Christians would both use and experience violence under the Christian empire. Discourses of martyrdom and persecution formed the symbolic language through which Christians represented, justified, or denounced the use of violence."22 | " |
Persecutions of Jews
Major component of Jewish history, persecutions have been committed by Seleucids,23 ancient Greeks,3 ancient Romans, Christians (Catholics, Orthodox and Protestant), Muslims, Communists, Nazis, etc. Some of the most important events constituting this history include the 1066 Granada massacre, the Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade (by Catholics but against papal orders, see also : Sicut Judaeis), the Alhambra Decree after the Reconquista and the creation of the Spanish Inquisition, the publication of On the Jews and Their Lies by Martin Luther which initiated the Protestant antisemitism and strengthened German antisemitism, the pogroms and the Holocaust.
Persecution of Muslims
Persecutions of Sikhs
This section requires expansion. (November 2013) |
Persecutions of atheists
Used before the 18th century as an insult,24 atheism was punishable by death in ancient Greece, in ancient Israel,25 in Christian countries during the Middle Ages and in Muslim countries. Today, Atheism is a crime in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia,26 Pakistan, and some other Muslim countries.
Persecution of minorities in Islamic lands
Victims of Muslim persecution include Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists,2728293031 Bahá'ís,32 and Atheists. Muslim persecution of fellow Muslims include as victims Shia, Ahmadis, Sufi, Alevis.
State atheism
State atheism has been defined by David Kowalewski as the official "promotion of atheism" by a government, typically by active suppression of religious freedom and practice.33 It is a misnomer referring to a government's anti-clericalism, which opposes religious institutional power and influence, real or alleged, in all aspects of public and political life, including the involvement of religion in the everyday life of the citizen.34
State atheism was first practised during a brief period in Revolutionary Francecitation needed and repeated only in Revolutionary Mexico and some communist states. The Soviet Union had a long history of state atheism,35 in which social success largely required individuals to profess atheism, stay away from churches and even vandalize them; this attitude was especially militant during the middle Stalinist era from 1929-1939.363738 The Soviet Union attempted to suppress religion over wide areas of its influence, including places like central Asia,39 the post-World War II East bloc and the Socialist People's Republic of Albania under Enver Hoxha went so far as to officially ban all religious practices.40
Bahá'ís in Iran
The Bahá'ís are Iran's largest religious minority, and Iran is the location of one of the largest Bahá'í populations in the world. Bahá'ís in Iran have allegedly been subject to unwarranted arrests, false imprisonment, beatings, torture, unjustified executions, confiscation and destruction of property owned by individuals and the Bahá'í community, denial of employment, denial of government benefits, denial of civil rights and liberties, and denial of access to higher education.
More recently, in the later months of 2005, an intensive anti-Bahá'í campaign was conducted by Iranian newspapers and radio stations. The state-run and influential Kayhan newspaper, whose managing editor is appointed by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei [1], ran nearly three dozen articles defaming the Bahá'í Faith. Furthermore, a confidential letter sent on October 29, 2005 by the Chairman of the Command Headquarters of the Armed Forced in Iran states that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei has instructed the Command Headquarters to identify people who adhere to the Bahá'í Faith and to monitor their activities and gather any and all information about the members of the Bahá'í Faith. The letter was brought to the attention of the international community by Asma Jahangir, the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on freedom of religion or belief, in a March 20, 2006 press release [2].
In the press release the Special Rapporteur states that she "is highly concerned by information she has received concerning the treatment of members of the Bahá'í community in Iran." She further states that "The Special Rapporteur is concerned that this latest development indicates that the situation with regard to religious minorities in Iran is, in fact, deteriorating." [3].
Persecution of the Serer people of Senegal, the Gambia and Mauritania is multifaceted, and include both religious and ethnic elements. Religious and ethnic persecution of the Serer people dates back to the 11th century when King War Jabi usurped the throne of Tekrur (part of present-day Senegal) in 1030, and by 1035, introduced Sharia law and forced his subjects to submit to Islam.41 With the assistance of his son (Leb), their Almoravid allies and other African ethnic groups who have embraced Islam, the Muslim coalition army launched jihads against the Serer people of Tekrur who refused to abandon Serer religion in favour of Islam.42434445 The number of Serer deaths are unknown, but it triggered the exodus of the Serers of Tekrur to the south following their defeat, where they were granted asylum by the lamanes.45 Persecution of the Serer people continued from the medieval era to the 19th century, resulting in the Battle of Fandane-Thiouthioune. From the 20th to the 21st centuries, persecution of the Serers is less obvious, nevertheless they are the object of scorn and prejudice.4647

Danish Mill & Park on the Square
The founders of Kenmare built the city around a park, which now has beautiful trees, flowers, tables and benches to enjoy some time outside. Located in the center of hte park is the Danish Mill. The Danish Mill was built in 1902 on a homestead, 11 miles north of Kenmare. It was used by area farmers for grinding grains into livestock feed and flour.
In 1959, the Mill was moved into the City of Kenmare and its restoration was completed in 1961. In 1965 the mill was moved into the city park and given a face lift in 1996.
Mouse River Park
This unique little riverside park has been attracting visitors since the early 1900's. Along with 56 campsites, there are additional primitive and electric sites throughout the park.
Mouse River Park is located about 5 miles north of Tolley. The park offers fishing, volleyball, softball diamonds, shower facilities, children's playground, and a beautiful public gazebo. Special events and entertainment are often scheduled during the summer season. Don't forget to check out the suspended walking bridge that crosses over the Mouse River, and stop by the renovated Country Mouse Bar for an ice cream treat.
Mouse River Park was flooded in June 2011. Residents of the Park continue rebuilding and restoration efforts.
Centennial Park
Originally built to celebrate North Dakota's Centennial, the park features a goose sculpture representing Kenmare's title as the "Goose Capital of North Dakota." It is easily visible from Highway 52. With its proximity to the high school and the sports field, the sculpture is also a nice complement to the school's "Honker" mascot.
Walking & Biking Trail
The first portion of Kenmare's fitness path has been completed and is being walked, jogged, biked and rollerbladed daily. The trail circles around the high school grounds and along Hwy 52 for a length of about 3/4th of a mile. Extensions of the path are under consideration, with hopes for additional construction in the coming years.
Tasker's Coulee Wildlife Observation Area
The Tasker's coulee Wildlife Observation Area lies in a heavily wooded coulee south of the Des Lacs refuge headquarters and can be reached via Ward County Road #1A. This lighted area offers a covered shelter, picnic tables, grills, drinking water and restrooms -- all for the public's day use.
Numerous rustic hiking trails allow visitors to stretch their legs and enjoy the flora and fauna of the coulee. Bathroom facilities and running water are available.
Over night camping is not permitted.
Nearby woodlands are inhabited by forest birds such as vireos, black & white warblers, black-capped chickadees and downly woodpeckers.
Scenic Lake Road
This road of approximately 12 miles runs along the Des Lacs Lake from near Baden overpass to the picnic area and former boat landing about five miles northwest of Kenmare. The south end of the road intersects with U.S. Highway 52. The north end of the road intersects with Ward County #1.
The section running south of Kenmare was once part of Highway 52. The scenic road offers great access for bird watching, observing wildlife, biking or hiking.
A new feature of this North Dakota Scenic Backway is the addition of 13 interpretive panels at pullouts and scenic overviews along the route.
Munch's Coulee Nature Trail
Located about five miles south of town just off the Scenic Lake Road, this trail is a designated National Recreation Trail. The first quarter-mile is paved, level and wheelchair accessible, with the remaining mile-long segment consisting of mowed grass with some steep slopes. The trail provides breathtaking views of the Lower Des Lacs Lake, and the upland portion offers one of the best places on the refuge to view native wildflowers and grasses.
Boat Dock Day Use Area
The gravel road leading north from Ward County #2 for 5 miles (known locally as the Boat Dock Road) winds along the upper Des Lacs Lake through the woodlands and coulee bottom habitat to a refuge Public Use Area - Boat Dock. Canoeing is permitted, following refuge regulations.
This area offers opportunities for picnicking, hiking, birdwatching and non-motorized boats in a beautiful lakeside setting. Primitive bathroom facilities and picnic tables are available.
The area is maintained by the Des Lacs Refuge. The area may also be reached via Ward County Road #1. Use is restricted to daylight hours only.
Canada Goose Trail
This 7 1/2-mile scenic trail located along the northeastern section of the Des Lacs Lake provides great opportunities to view migrating and breeding waterfowl.
The trail is open to hiking, bicycling, cross country skiining and snowshoeing, with motorized traffic allowed for two weeks each fall, weather permitting, to view the beautiful fall foliage.

1. The Deficit Has Grown Mostly Because Of The Recession
The deficit has ballooned not because of specific spending measures, but because of the recession. The deficit more than doubled between 2008 and 2009, as the economy was in free fall, since laid-off workers paid less in taxes and needed more benefits. The deficit then shrank in 2010 and 2011.

JACKSONVILLE, FL. — Gator Bowl Chairman Fred Franklin announced today members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2012. This year's induction class includes former Vanderbilt University quarterback, Donald Orr and current Coach at The Bolles School and former standout at Georgia Tech, Corky Rogers. The Gator Bowl is extremely proud to honor these two outstanding individuals whose contributions have had such a positive impact in the world of college athletics," said Chairman Franklin. The CSX Coaches Luncheon and Hall of Fame Induction will be held on December 31 at the Prime Osborn Convention Center at 12:00 noon.
Donald Orr
Vanderbilt University
Donald Cooper Orr is a native of Miami, Florida and graduated from Miami Jackson High School in 1952. He played four varsity sports earning All-City and All-State honors in football and was the recipient if the Scholar-Athlete Award.
Don entered the School of Engineering at Vanderbilt University with the assistance of an athletic scholarship. He lettered three years playing quarterback and safety. He played in the 1955 Gator Bowl leading the Commodores to a 25-13 win over Auburn. He was also awarded the honor of Most Valuable Player for his performance in that game. In 1956, Don was elected co-captain of the Vanderbilt team and later was named co-captain of the south squad in the North-South College All Star Game.
Upon graduating, Don married Eve Loser of Nashville and immediately reported to Fort Bliss Texas as a Second Lieutenant Artillery Officer.
After completing his military commitment Don and Eve returned to Nashville to pursue a business career and start a family that includes two sons and seven grandchildren.
Football officiating became a second vocation for Don. He worked ten years as a referee in the Southeastern Conference and twenty-five years with the National Football League. He retired in 1996 after officiating numerous play-off games including three Super Bowls.
A home is still maintained in Nashville, but winter months are enjoyed in Naples, Florida and summers are spent in the mountains of North Carolina.
Corky Rogers
Georgia Tech
Charles "Corky" Rogers' career as a high school football coach has spanned five decades, producing more wins than any other coach in Florida. In 2011, Rogers became just the eighth coach in the history of high school football in the nation to reach 400 wins. He has guided the Bolles football program in Jacksonville since the 1989 season, helping the Bulldogs to compile the most state titles of any football program in Florida. In 2011, Rogers led Bolles to the program's 11th state title, increasing his own state records for wins to 411, state titles as a coach to 10, and playoff victories to 70.The 2010 Bolles varsity football team posted the program's fourth undefeated regular season in the last five years, won the 30th district title in program history, posted an overall record of 11-1, and advanced to the Region 1-2B Final.Nationally recognized by collegiate coaches for his skill in producing outstanding college football recruits, Rogers insists it is due to his team members' dedication. He requires them to play the game to the best of their abilities, maintain respect for their coaches and teammates, excel academically, participate in their communities, and make the right choices in every area of their lives.
Prior to Bolles, Rogers coached at his alma mater, Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida, leading the Generals to playoff appearances in 10 straight seasons. As a student-athlete at Lee, Rogers played for the 1960 state championship football team and the 1961 state baseball championship team. He is a graduate of The Georgia Institute of Technology where he lettered in football. He played in the 1965 Gator Bowl where his Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets posted a victory over Texas Tech, 31-21.
Rogers and his wife, Linda, have two daughters, Tracy and Jennifer, and several grandchildren.

Reports of Syrian soldiers defecting to the armed resistance to the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad indicate that Syria may be following the path of Libya.
The parallels between the two Arab nations are striking. Col. Muamar Gadhafi (aka Khadafy aka Qaddafi) ) seized control of Libya in a military coup d'etat in 1969. The next year Gen. Hafez Al-Assad overthrew President Nureddin Al-Atassi in Syria. Gadhafi intervened in nearby Chad, Assad intervened in Lebanon. Both killed their own people to keep power. At the time of the Libyan Revolution, Gadhafi was grooming his sons to succeed him as dictator. Hafez Al-Assad originally groomed his older son Basil to succeed him, but the young man was killed in an auto accident in 1998. (1) He then prepared his younger son Bashar for his job by giving him increasing responsbilities in the government. Bashar become president when Hafez died in 2000. The same year he married a British woman of Syrian birth.
Bashar Al-Assad has an unusual background for an Arab dictator. Instead of a career in the military or diplomatic service, he chose to become a doctor, graduating Damascus University Medical School in 1988. He then studied ophtalmalogy at the Westerm Eye Hospital in London. Bashar returned to Syria in 1994 and entered the military academy. With his father's blessing, Bashar ascended the ranks quickly, and in 1998 was placed in charge of Syria's activities in Lebanon.
As president, Bashar has made only minor reforms in his father's policies of authoritarian rule at home and hostility toward Israel and the United States. He has maintained an alliance with Iran, and supplies arms to Hezbollah, which probably killed the Prime Minister of Lebanon in 2005. On the other hand, Bashar is strongly suspicious of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Hafez Al-Assad crushed in Syria. In 2008 he authorized indirect talks with Israel (through Turkey), which came to nothing.
Bashar's armed forces have have killed over 3,500 people trying to stop protests against his regime, yet the demonstrations continue. The King of Jordan, the Prime Minister of Turkey and the Arab League have all turned against him. (2) Texas Gov. Rick Perry has called for a "no-fly zone" over Syria. But the real threat is that his military is starting to crack. The Assad family and all important military and security officials belong to the minority Alawite sect, while most of the soldiers are Sunni Muslim. In the Middle East religious differences are crucial, so a major split in the Syrian Army (like the one in Libya) is a real possibility. If that happens, foreign help for the rebels could turn the tide against Bashar Al-Assad and his Alawite Baath regime.
But Bashar is no Muamar. Gadhafi, who was probably mentally ill, resolved to fight for power to the death, and that is what he got. But I do not believe that Bashar Al-Assad will gamble his life for his job. The fact that he chose a career in medicine and lived in England for several years tells me that this man has a far more pragmatic and cosmopolitan view of life than Gadhafi ever had. The Assads are not crazy, they are calculating. If Bashar Al-Assad ever concludes that his cause is lost, he will pack his bags and move back to London, where he could perhaps re-instate his medical license. (A possible International Criminal Court indictment for human rights violations might be an obstacle, however.)
Of course we cannot tell what kind of regime might follow the Assads, but I am willing to bet that it will be better, rather than even worse.

- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Beat together 225g softened unsalted butter and 225g caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through. Sift in 225g flour, then add the finely grated zest of 1 lemon and mix until well combined. Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
- Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the juice of 1 1/2 lemons and 85g caster sugar to make the drizzle. Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping. Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, December 2007
Comments, questions and tips
Absolutely love this recipe, it's so easy to make and tastes lovely. As suggested by others, I used two lemon zests. Didn't get the crispy coating on top but I don't think it really needs it. The first time I made this cake I added more sugar for the drizzle and it did form a crispy coating but I thought it was way too much.
Made the cake last weekend, it went down well with everyone. Like many others who have suggested before me, the next lemon cake that I bake will have two lemons added for extra lemon flavour.
Also, instead of using butter, I used marg and that was equally as good as butter. Also, use unwaxed lemons, better by far.
Good cake! It took around 10 minutes longer to cook in the end, though. I used margarine instead of unsalted butter and pressed some raspberries into the top of it which worked really well, but I'm sure you could use other berries too. I also went along with the 2 lemon thing like a lot of people have commented to do and that was perfect. 'Really easy lemonade' went well with this recipe- very lemony!

Philip Chism, 14, was charged on Wednesday as an adult over the death of Colleen Ritzer, 24, whose body was found in woods behind the school.
The black student is suspected of slashing Colleen Ritzer's throat in the women's bathroom and carting her body in the trash bin on Oct 22. Police reviewed video surveillance records showing Chism pushing a trash bin through the halls of the school.

Where is the outrage from Yahoo "news" about this racial killing? Doesn't fit Yahoo's race bating agenda as did Trayvon Martin?
Time is ticking away to reserve your own mandatory, high deductible insurance for $500 a month. Some Obama voter going to ask "What yo mean a $13,000 deductible?". Let me explain, that $13,000 is cash coming out of your pocket before you see any benefit from the $500 per month Obamacare insurance you will also be paying. 1800 318-2596
Over the past week, Saudi Arabia broke diplomatic ties with the USA over Obama's mishandling of the Syrian chemical weapon crisis which Vladmir Putin swooped in as the saviing angel who easily brokered a deal with Syria to resolve the problem on his own. So now we have a failure for a president who let the Russians take over influence in the Middle East. Yahoo "news" is totally silenr of course.
Poor economic policy!
16 million health plans are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal. The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014.
This is because the Obama administration's regulations on grandfathering existing were so stringent.
Read more at the weeklystandard. Is Yahoo "news" going to cover this news article?
A 15 year old girl was beaten, thrown in front of a passing car, and rushed to the hospital for a collapsed lung. No race given by CBS so it's probably safe to assume the girl was white and the gang was black. Also Yahoo could care less because victim is not the right race (Like Traavon Martin) to be on thier homepage news for 2 weeks.
Speaking exclusively to CBS 3, a 15-year-old high school student, whose identity we are concealing, described a terrifying attack by a gang of at least nine teenage boys as she was leaving an Interboro High School football game Monday night. The teenage victim described first being taunted by the attackers, who followed her down a neighborhood street, cursing and spitting at her, before she was repeatedly kicked and punched, suffering at least one blow to her head.
"It was scary, just horrible, just the worst feeling in the world," she said. "He punched me in my back and then kicked me in the back, and then punched me in the back of my head. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk. I was just straight crying."
The victim says as at least two of the teenagers pummeled her, the others cheered them on shouting, "Come on, let's get her!" At one point, the victim says, the gang tried to throw her under the wheels of a passing car, which swerved, narrowly missing her.
Rushed by her parents to Taylor Hospital, she was medevaced to Children's Hospital where, her parents say, she was treated for a partially collapsed lung and other injuries. After being released 48 hours after the attack, she is now recovering at home as police move forward with their investigation.

No the whole thing needs scrapped. The government couldn't even get the website right, and Obamacare hasn't begun so could you imagine government being YOUR doctor in the near future? The cheapest Obamacare plans are expensive at $500 a month with $13,000 anunal deductible to pay out before you get any benefit from this government subsidized plan. On top of that, the government is raising taxes to pay for it. Pay for what? Where is all the money going? Yahoo "news" supports every tyrannical Democrat (communist) idea.
Of course they did GK. here's the logic of a Democrat: If they reject the House budgets and bills to curb spending, a situation is created where the government is forced to be funded by debt ceiling increases.
Defunding or repealing useless and destructive programs such as Obamacare (being the worst)
would avoid having to pass bill to raise the debt ceiling.
In fact, I think it's about time to hold the Senate's feet to the fire because they have been rejecting House budgets for the past 3 years. The Senate deliberately created debt spending situation.
No budget = no control in spending, wouldn't you agree?
Also, republicans can't get anything repealed when the lapdog Senate Democrats are blocking everything that does not fit their communist agenda.
1) California: 58,000 will lose their plans under Obamacare. The first bomb dropped in California with a mass exodus from the most populated state's Obamacare exchange. Aetna, the country's largest insurer, left first in July and was closely followed by UnitedHealth. Anthem Blue Cross pulled out of California's Obamacare exchange for small businesses as well.
54 percent of Californians expect to lose their coverage, according to an August poll.
2) Missouri: Patients of the state's largest hospital system — which spans 13 hospitals including the St. Louis Children's Hospital — will not be covered by the largest insurer on Obamacare exchanges, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield. Anthem covers 79,000 patients in Missouri who may seek subsidies on Obamacare exchanges, but won't be able to see any doctors in the BJC HealthCare system.
3) Connecticut: Aetna, the third largest insurer in the nation, won't offer insurance on the Obamacare exchange in its own home state, where it was founded in 1850. The reason? "We believe the modification to the rates filed by Aetna will not allow us to collect enough premiums to cover the cost of the plans and meet the service expectations of our customers," said Aetna spokesman Susan Millerick.
4) Maryland: 13,000 individuals covered by Aetna and its recently-purchased Coventry Health Care won't be able to keep their insurance plans if they want Obamacare subsidies on the exchanges. Aetna and Coventry canceled plans to offer insurance in the exchange when state officials wouldn't allow them to charge premiums high enough to cover costs.
5) South Carolina: 28,000 people were insured by Medical Mutual of Ohio, SC's second-largest insurance company, until it decided to leave the state entirely in July due to Obamacare's "vast and quite complex" new regulations. Company spokesman Ed Byers said Medical Mutual's patients would be switched over to United Healthcare plans instead.
If the company is shows it is making money (whether from government or manipulation of the book keeping), the stock price will go up. Usually share prices are more stable when the company pays a diviedend, and they don't. This leads me to wonder if they have the money they claim they have especially in a poor economy and with the recent multibillion NSA lawsuit. A short might be something to consider
Didn't pass the yahoo censors?
In response, the Senate Democrats try to blackmail him...
Last week there were arguments on Capitol Hill about whether Congress
should be treated like the rest of the country when it comes to Obamacare.
Senator David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, has demanded a floor vote on
his bill to end an exemption that members of Congress and their staffs are
slated to get that will make them the only participants in the new Obamacare
exchanges to receive generous subsidies from their employer to pay for their
health insurance. Angry Senate Democrats have drafted legislation that dredges
up a 2007 prostitution scandal involving Vitter.
The confrontation is a perfect illustration of just how wide the gulf in attitudes is
between the Beltway and the rest of the country — and how viciously Capitol Hill
denizens will fight for their privileges.
from National Review
Where are the bleading heart liberals from yahoo "news" on this to defend
some one who was standing up for americans by doing the right thing?
Yahoo is on the side of the rich Senate Democrats who feel they are exempt
from the socialist health care system they passed on the rest of us.
Calling police officers "cops" is very disrespectful. However, respect for others is not something that yahoo staff has in common with the rest of us.
(refer to the yahoo "news" story about the person's long name to be reduced because it woouldn't fit on driver's license)

SASD Holds Public Hearing on Proposed School Closing
The Souderton Area School Board Tuesday night held a public hearing about the proposed closing of Lower Salford Elementary School.
District officials want to shutdown one of their seven grade schools because of declining student enrollment. They say Lower Salford makes the most sense because the building is 100 years old and would require extensive rennovations totaling about $3,000,000 to make it accessible for students and others with disabilities Almost a dozen district residents spoke out against the proposed closing. The school board will consider their comments for the next three months before taking a final vote on February 28th.

As the U.S. Supreme Court considers the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 gay-marriage ban, it will be interesting to see whether the court decides to be remembered historically as a Plessy v. Ferguson court or a Brown v. Board of Education court.
In Plessy (1896), the court embarrassed itself by enshrining the separate-but-equal doctrine. What a way to be remembered, with all the hatred and misery it justified.
In the 1954 Topeka case, the court redeemed itself, in a 9-0 decision, and ended up on the right side of history by rejecting separate but equal.
It would be unconscionable for the current court to develop a separate-but-not-equal doctrine that would equally embarrass the court — and justify discrimination.
Why should another court pick hatred as a doctrine to be remembered by?

An MBA is incredibly valuable if your career path requires an MBA. If it doesn't, then it may be helpful, it may be neutral, or it may even hinder you. Yes, an MBA expands your earning power, if your career path requires one. Yes, it makes you look more impressive, if the people who are doing the hiring are impressed by that. Yes, there is a big difference between a top 10 program and the local "if you can pay tuition you're in" program. But, how to decide? Here are some questions to ask yourself (and some questions you need to ask others):
Where do I want to be in 5 years? What about 10 years? I know, it's the dreaded interview question. But, this time you're going to ask yourself, 'where do I really want to go with my career?' Yes, I know things can change, but take the time to think it out.What credentials do the people in my "future job" have? You figured out where you want to be, so find out who is there now. Do they have MBAs? Do they have different advanced degrees? What schools did they go to? (Yes, it matters.)Will the school that I am attending be worth the effort? I hate to sound snobbish, but the school you attend really matters at the MBA level. Really, really matters. If you want to be CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, getting your MBA at the local university is unlikely to help you. You'll need to go to a top MBA school for that. The good news is that Bloomberg BusinessWeek is reporting that some top MBA programs are easier to get into now. I know people with MBAs from some low prestige schools that have jobs they could have gotten without those degrees, and, in fact, their coworkers lack the MBA. The school you choose will open some doors for you and will close other doors to you.How much will my MBA cost me? I'm not talking just tuition here. In your case, the company is paying 75 percent. Yippee! But, does that come with a clause that holds you hostage for three years after they make their last payment? How does your company treat newly minted MBAs? Is a promotion possible, or will it just be a cake? When you're released from your three year hold, new companies will see your salary as one you earned as someone with an MBA with three years of post-graduation experience. If you weren't rewarded financially at the old firm, your value to a new firm drops as well. Are you going to be willing to pay back what you would owe in order to leave? And if your company is not paying it, are you taking out student loans, paying as you go or relying on your trust fund? Because some MBA programs can be really expensive–over $100,000 kind of expensive. Sure, if it raises your earning potential by thousands and thousand's it's worth it. But, if it's going to only slightly raise your potential then the costs may outweigh the benefits. For you, specifically, remember 25 is not old. You'll be able to get an MBA in the future. In fact, assuming that you finished your undergrad at 22, you've only been in the work force three years. I'd say you need two more years of experience before you start applying to MBA schools. If the work isn't challenging, but is time consuming, you may be in a school that is lower tier than what you're capable of.
But, if you've gone through the four questions above and determined that an MBA is the path for you, then go get it. The knowledge will be helpful, and the connections invaluable.

New Delhi, Aug 13 (IANS) There was high drama in the heart of the capital Monday as Baba Ramdev was detained while leading a massive march to parliament to push his demand for bringing back black money stashed abroad. Many political parties, including those supporting the government, came out in open support of his campaign.
Ramdev and around 1,500 supporters were stopped and detained while on their way to parliament, which is in session. Police had a tough time getting his supporters to board around 100 buses as they kept alighting and shouting slogans. They also lay down on the street, disrupting traffic.
Ramdev was taken to Ambedkar Stadium in the evening.
Before Ramdev launched his march, a host of political leaders joined him on his podim at Ramlila Maidan - including Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) chief and NDA convenor Sharad Yadav, Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy and some Akali Dal leaders.
After speeches slamming the government's "inaction" on black money, Ramdev led his teeming tricolour-waving and black bandana-sporting supporters on a march to Parliament House. But police were there in hundreds to stop him at Ranjit Singh flyover that leads to Connaught Place in central Delhi.
"Ours is a peaceful march. There was no intention to spread violence and unrest. But police are stopping us on the orders of the government," the saffron-robed Ramdev said, perched on top of a bus, before police stopped him.
"The Congress is not with us," said Ramdev, sporting a black bandana, as his supporters cheered.
A police official gingerly held Ramdev's hand to show he was being detained, perhaps keeping in mind the controversy over the police's brutal action on his sleeping supporters a year ago in which a woman lost her life.
The police had disallowed Ramdev from protesting outside parliament.
According to police, some of the supporters were detained and taken to Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Bawana, 20 km away, while some are being taken to Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium.
Ramdev, whose protest against corruption and black money continued for the fifth day Monday, appealed to the government to heed his demands, failing which he threatened to march to Parliament House.
However, the government remained unmoved. Unlike the earlier time when three senior ministers were sent to the airport to talk to Anna Hazare on his demand for bringing in the Jan Lokpal Bill - for which the government attracted all round criticism, this time no government emissary went to speak to the yoga guru.
Unhassled by the support his campaign had garnered, including from United Progressive Alliance (UPA) supporters Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party, the ruling Congress accused Ramdev of fighting a "political battle" in the name of campaigning against black money and said his real intentions have been exposed.
Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi, referring to Gadkari and other political leaders sharing the dias with Ramdev, said Ramdev's "mask" had come off.
"The real face (of Ramdev) has been exposed to the people," he said.
The issue of black money also echoed in parliament with the BJP creating a ruckus in the Lok Sabha on the issue, leading to an adjournment of the house.
Sharing the stage with Ramdev, Gadkari said the yoga guru's agitation "should not be seen from political lenses" and his party did not expect any political support from Ramdev. "We will actively support Ramdev's agitation against corruption and black money," Gadkari said.
Gadkari said that Ramdev had "no political intentions" in his fight to bring back black money.
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and BSP supremo Mayawati, addressing reporters outside parliament, said they would support anyone raising their voice against black money.
JD-U leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Biju Janata Dal chief and Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik too supported Ramdev's campaign.
Ramdev launched a three-day symbolic fast Aug 9 for the return of black money, a strong Lokpal Bill, and a transparent process in naming heads of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Election Commission. On Saturday evening, he extended his fast and threatened a "revolution" after the government failed to react.

Wednesday October 26. Montreal. Winter is getting closer everyday and some of us are desperate just thinking of the snow, the cold and all the "happy" consequences of this season. But fortunately there's a solution to every problem, at least my grandma told me so.
"Petit guide pour survivre à l'hiver" is the name of this medicine. In a small funny book, Pascal Henrard (author) and François Turcotte (illustrator) have imagined solutions to make you feel better about that sad period of the year.
Absurd humor, puns, stupid games, even more stupid games, four-words crossword about winter, nonsense… 48 pages of this kind of craziness I personally like a lot.
I met Pascal Tuesday at the launch of this book. Actually two books were launched, the other one is another guide that will help people to survive their family. I asked him why he hated winter so much and he needed to write a guide to survive it. And you know what, his answer is rather paradoxical…
David: What do you think of winter?
Pascal: I love winter!
David: What do you like about it?
Pascal: It's a pleasure to go outside, to ski, to skate, I love cold actually, even though I have a car I love it! You just need to have good tires after all.
David: What about the other guide, to survive family. Do you have to survive your family?
Pascal: Well, sometimes it can be hard. You don't choose your family, but I'm talking here about the extended family, I think it's ok with my wife and my kids (ironic smile appearing).
David: What is the best piece of advice to survive winter?
Pascal: Read the book! It's the only way to survive winter.

Buoyed by a deal on border security, the Senate easily overcame immigration reform opponents, mustering more than the 60 votes needed to begin forcing an end to debate, setting the stage for approval of a sweeping immigration measure later this week.
The vote was 67-27, the first step along the road to final approval of a plan that would create a military type surge along the border with Mexico, and lead to a pathway to citizenship for millions of people now in the United States illegally.
All 27 votes against the plan came from Republicans, who kept up their attacks against the bill to the end.
"What is the rush?" asked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on the Senate floor, as he argued that other Senators just wanted a "fig leaf" on border security.
"I have come to one conclusion," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said of immigration reform opponents, "they just won't take 'Yes' for an answer."
The Senate faces at least two more procedural hurdles where 60 votes will be needed to move forward on the bill, as a final vote on immigration reform legislation is expected by the end of the week.
Immigration reform seems likely to be one topic on the agenda on Tuesday afternoon when Congressional leaders of both parties meet with President Obama, who made clear again on Monday that he wants action.
"I hope that we can get the strongest possible vote out of the Senate so that we can then move to the House and get this done before the summer break," the President said to business leaders in a White House meeting on immigration reform.
That vote of 67-27 would have had a few more "Yes" votes, but airline flight delays kept a handful of members from getting back to Washington, D.C. in time for the vote.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) missed the vote, but would have voted against an end to debate on the border security plan, while Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) were both "Yes" votes who weren't able to get to the Senate floor.
Also not back for the vote were both Senators from Georgia, as Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson were delayed on flights back to Washington from two different places.
In a joint statement issued a few hours after the vote, both Chambliss and Isakson said they would have voted against the border security deal, meaning backers would have been stuck at 69 votes.
Here is a list of the "No" votes on the motion to invoke cloture (shut off debate) on the Corker-Hoeven border security deal, and the Senators who did not vote on that procedural motion.

Trade and development
The WTO Agreements recognize the link between trade and development. More than two thirds of WTO Members are developing countries.
At the Doha Ministerial Conference, in November 2001, Trade Ministers launched the Doha Development Agenda. With this Agenda, WTO Members have placed development issues and the interests of developing countries at the heart of the WTO's work.
In the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration the central importance of the development dimension of the Doha Work Programme was emphasized and there was a recommitment to making it a meaningful reality. At the same time, the Aid for Trade Initiative was launched, designed to help developing countries build supply-side capacity in order to expand trade.

Introduction to the WTO and developing countries back to top
WTO bodies back to top
WTO work related to trade and development takes place mostly in the Committee on Trade and Development and the Sub-Committee on Least-Developed Countries. Since the launching of the Doha Round in November 2001, trade and development issues related to special and differential treatment are being negotiated in the CTD meeting in Special Session. Other bodies dealing with development issues and established at the Doha Ministerial Conference include the Working Group on Trade, Debt and Finance, and the Working Group on Trade and Transfer of Technology. At Doha Ministers also launched the Work Programme on Small Economies.
Other WTO bodies also consider trade and development issues.
In addition, a number of WTO activities focus on developing countries in the context of building trade capacity.
Work on Special and Differential Treatment Provisions back to top
Several provisions in the WTO Agreements relate specifically to developing and least-developed countries. Certain of these provisions are referred to as "special and differential treatment" provisions in favor of developing countries.
Ministers in Doha, in the Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns mandated the Committee on Trade and Development to identify which Special and Differential Provisions are mandatory, and to consider the implications of making mandatory those which are currently non-binding. In addition, the Committee is to consider ways in which developing countries, particularly the LDCs, may be assisted to make best use of special and differential treatment.
Work in the CTD back to top
The CTD meets regularly in different modes to address specific development issues, both as part of the WTO's regular work and as part of the Doha negotiations: CTD in regular session CTD Special Session on Special and Differential Treatment Provisions CTD Dedicated Session on Small Economies The CTD also has a subsidiary body to deal specifically with matters concerning the LDCs Sub-Committee on Least-Developed Countries Additionally, two WTO Working Groups were created during the Doha Ministerial Conference in November 2001: Working Group on Trade and Transfer of Technology Working Group on Trade, Debt and Finance

Wind chills bottomed out near -25° (below zero).
Your morning caffeine jolt may not have been necessary this morning to perk you up. Just stepping outside was enough as the arctic cold may have done the trick. Although the deep, bitter arctic air has relaxed now, temperatures and wind chills were a concern for a while this morning. In fact, some spots had wind chill advisories that early this morning.

Many areas of central and southern New York had clear skies and light winds. This plus the recent snowpack and the arctic intrusion of air allowed the temperatures to enter the "free-fall" zone and drop to well below zero. East-northeast of Lake Ontario, lake effect cloud coverage, snow showers and more wind kept reading above zero. Look through the list of the lowest temperatures that occurred early Friday morning. There were many areas that reached doube-digit below zero.

Block device compression with the cloop module
The cloop module lets you manage compression at the block device level. Read on to learn how Knoppix and other Live CDs fit all that software on a single disc.
Cloop is a kernel block device module used in Live CDs such as Knoppix. The cloop module allows the system to read compressed data, usually from a file, thus creating compressed virtual disks. Using cloop, a Linux installation of about 2GB fits on a single 700MB CD-R disc. In this article, I look at how cloop works and provide some insight into general kernel structures of a block device. A Unix system traditionally distinguishes between character-based and block-based devices. If you look into the output of ls -l /dev, you will easily recognize these devices by the prefix – c for character-based and b for block-based devices – at the beginning of the output line (see Listing 1).

Here's a little concert review of the Sheryl Crow show in Eugene on May 20, 2011 from KINK Listener Cynthia Orlando.
Crow & company deliver solid setlist
By Cynthia Orlando
Dressed in jeans, a black sparkly top and a crowd-pleasing smile, rock superstar Sheryl Crow, her 6-member band, and two accompanying vocalists put on a great show at Eugene's Hult Center for the Performing Arts Friday night.
Crow and company opened the show with "Our Love is Fading" from her new "100 Miles from Memphis" release, then barreled into "A Change Would Do You Good." The show continued in a similar vein for the 2-hour setlist which included many of her heavyweight hits including "Soak up the Sun" and "Everyday is a Winding Road."
Sizzling renditions of "My Favorite Mistake" and "Steve McQueen" got the sold-out audience into the dance mode, and Crow got the crowd into a sing-a-long during '"If It Makes You Happy." "Strong Enough" was another concert highlight.
Sometimes a good concert reminds you of songs you haven't stopped to listen to or appreciate much for a while; Crow's vocals and her band's powerful delivery of the "The Difficult Kind" from "The Globe Sessions" was just such a song at Friday's show. She also threw in a beautiful, artistically arranged and very memorable version of the song "Mississippi" by Bob Dylan, and wound up the evening with "I Shall Believe" from "Tuesday Night Music Club."
At ease with herself, the band and the audience throughout the evening, Crow proved that while she may be approaching 50, she's not likely to slow down anytime soon.
