SAN DIEGO – The Chargers' 5-foot-9, 243-pound human bowling ball is one of the most athletic players on the team.
Mike Tolbert has morphed from an undrafted fullback and strong special teams contributor (2008-09) to a bruising running back and spot starter (2010) to the third-down back asked to handle pass-pro, catch passes and ram his way into the end zone near the goal line (this year).
Tolbert caught a career-high nine passes Sunday against the Vikings and is tied for the NFL lead in receptions through Week 1. He became the third Chargers player ever to score two receiving touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in the same game with his performance against Minnesota.
P.J. Pullara; Gilbert, Ariz.
What's it like to have been an undrafted rookie free agent and then become a major contributor to a team of this caliber?
It's a blessing just to be able to say, 'I've done it, I've made it and I'm here.' It's proof that hard work pays off. Not just football-wise, but studying in the classroom and getting my nose in the books.
Tim Shaw; Valencia, Calif.
How did you end up going to Coastal Carolina?
I had a couple big scholarship offers. I was smart in high school but my SAT scores weren't good enough for those schools. Coach (David) Bennett, Coach (Keith) James and Coach (Drew) Watson all came down to my house and sold me on starting the tradition. When I went to the school I fell in love with it. The end result is the same so I can't complain.
Garrett Rowan; Whittier, Calif.
I see you and Ryan Mathews have developed a sweet handshake after either of you score a touchdown. What is your relationship like and how have you guys supported each other?
We pride ourselves on putting the team first. Whether it be myself getting three touchdowns or Ryan scoring two or three touchdowns, as long as we are winning and having fun that's all that counts. Ryan is going to be a hell of a player. I'm here to support him. We're both still learning. We don't have a name for our handshake. One day in practice we just came up with it and it stuck.
Gabriel Caldera; Bloomington, Calif.
What goes through your mind when you see a defender coming and you're carrying the ball? Do you automatically think you're going to run him over, or is it just a reaction?
It's a split-second decision and I don't really think about it. If I run him over, I run him over. If I try and make a move, I try and make a move. I don't think about it, it just happens.
Brandon Magpanta; San Diego
Every time you score we see the best touchdown celebrations. Where did you learn to dance and are any of your touchdown dances the same, or are they all different?
I think they're always different. I never rehearse them or look at things online that I want to do. I cross the goal line and it's like, 'OK, let's get funky with it. Let's dance!' I told Antonio Garay I was glad the Vikings game was over because I don't know what I would have done if I scored a fourth touchdown. You can't run out of touchdown dances in the first game.
Alec Romero; San Diego
How have you and the rest of the team prepared, both mentally and physically, for this Sunday's showdown against New England?
I think we've mentally keyed in. We've been out here at practice going through the looks, going through the reps. I think we're going to be ready to go up to Foxborough and play some good football.
Kevin Mendoza; San Diego
Boxing was a big part of your offseason training. Tell us about your workout regimen and how it has improved your performance on the football field.
I worked out twice a day for six months almost. Boxing is correlated so much with your balance, your feet, catching angles and hand placement. It does so much to help with football. The boxing workout itself is crazy and gets your body in shape to do anything. Stuff on the field is nothing compared to what my boxing workouts were like.
Robert McDermott; Spring Valley Lake, Calif.
Natrone Means was the last bruising running back we saw in a Chargers uniform. Who are some of the running backs you pattern your game after?
My favorite running back of all-time is Earl Campbell. I've actually had the chance to meet him a few times. I like Jerome Bettis too. I talk to Natrone (Means) all the time, I've talked to Lorenzo Neal a lot of times. I try to incorporate parts of their skill sets into my own.
Jose Flores; San Diego
What kind of cars are in your collection and which one is your favorite? Any future purchases on the horizon?
I had a 1973 Chevy Caprice on 26-inch rims but I sold it. Right now my favorite is my 2011 (Chevy) Camaro. There's a new Cadillac car coming out: the XTS, fully loaded, platinum edition. I can't wait for it to come out in 2012 because you know I'm going to get it!
Deann English; Tacoma, Wash.
Where is your favorite spot to eat in San Diego and back home in Georgia?
My favorite spot to eat in San Diego is the Gaslamp Strip Club and Rocky's Crown Pub in Pacific Beach. Back home, I would have to say Zaxby's.
Andrew Garrett; La Mesa, Calif.
You scored all three touchdowns in the Chargers' 21-17 win against the Vikings on Sunday. Are you going to let anyone else score?
I mean, I will. I'm not greedy. Some of my teammates know when we get on the goal line or inside the 5-yard line, 'Here comes The Vulture.' They call me The Vulture because I steal everybody's touchdowns. If you leave it there I'm going to take it. If other people are going to score they're going to score. If not, they're going to put me in and I'm going to eat. I love it, but as long as we're winning I don't care who scores.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Esperanza Rising is an award-winning work of historical fiction that chronicles the life a Mexican migrant farmworker in the 1930s. In the book's beginning, Esperanza's wealthy father is killed by bandits in Mexico; then, a scheming uncle sets fire to her house and family ranch in order to pressure her widowed mother to marry him. Fleeing to California, Esperanza tries to adjust to the cramped, exhausting life of a farmworker. Thanks to a supportive family and network of friends, she keeps hope alive and begins to work for a new future. Readers will learn a number of Spanish words and about the lives of migrant farm workers during the 1930s as characters deal with strikes, discrimination, harsh living conditions, and more.

What's the story?
Esperanza, the daughter of a wealthy grape grower in Mexico, leads a charmed life -- until bandits kill her father. One of his brothers pressures her mother to marry him, but after he burns down the ranch, Esperanza, her mother, and a family of former servants escape to California to become farmworkers. There, Esperanza must learn to work hard, which proves difficult for a girl who doesn't even know how to use a broom. After her mother is hospitalized with Valley Fever, she joins the field workers through the various crop seasons. But there is more trouble: Some Mexican farmworkers are striking, and other migrants are arriving from other areas, threatening to drive down wages. Esperanza struggles to keep her family together -- and her hope alive.
Is it any good?
This is a beautiful book that remains educational and inspirational more than a decade after its publication. Readers will sympathize with Esperanza, who must learn to work hard after living a life of luxury -- but more than that, they will be amazed by the strength she shows as she adjusts to the difficult life of a migrant farmworker. Eventualy, she begins to create her own dream for her life in California. Her story, told with Spanish expertly woven in with the English, may inspire readers to learn about their own family's immigration to America, the plight of farmworkers in the 1930s -- as well as the struggles of farm families living in America today.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about ho Esperanza's story compares with your own family's story of immigrating to America.
This book won a Pura Belpré award, which, according to the American Library Association, is given to "a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth." Why do you think an award like this is necessary? Have you read any other of the winners?

SYRIZA's candidate for Athens Mayor, Gavriil Sakellaridis, on Thursday voiced his skepticism over the leftist opposition party's decision to nominate journalist Theodoros Karypidis for the governorship of Western Macedonia in May.
There are many issues with Karypidis's candidacy, the 34-year-old economist told Skai on Thursday.
SYRIZAs political secretariat was to meet on Thursday amid calls for the party to re-examine the candidacy.
Earlier this week it emerged that Karypidis had posted comments on his Facebook page that were anti-Semitic and appeared supportive of Golden Dawn.
New Democracy and PASOK attacked SYRIZA over its choice of candidate but condemnation also came from the American Jewish Committee (AJC).
Asked about his own candidacy, Sakellaridis said that his aim was to express everyone who experiences the crisis in the city of Athens and who feels the need to mobilize.

Gradually, gradually the ATr are reaching into sea fishing. Judging by the sea angling forums though, until they're able to stop trawling close to the shore, they'll continue to meet a lot of apathy.The only way that will stop is if they put mines off the beaches I have heard stories of beams running along beaches where there are no breakwaters. A boatman at Sheringham in Norfolk last year told me two Spainish ships came inshore the authorities got one of them but the other one got away.
I'm afraid you're probably right. That's the big issue for most sea anglers and there's no way the ATr would be able to tackle an issue of that magnitude...unfortunately.It is a real shame the way sea angling has gone especially the shore marks. When I look back at the sport I have had and how it has got more and more expensive in the way of bait costs to go and catch a few fish. Especially in the winter and in all probability you will blank or get one or two small whiting. Codling never mind cod are as rare as hens teeth today. I wonder at the fact that so many anglers still give it a try. Your best bet these days is to livebait or use a very large bait in the hope of picking up the odd big fish that might just be there.
That's the big issue for most sea anglers and there's no way the ATr would be able to tackle an issue of that magnitude...unfortunately.I wouldn't be so sure. Despite being small, the ATr (not fish legal) can be a powerful political voice and it's only politics which will sort this out. I read recently that there are now only about 500 commercial fishermen in the entire UK. Can that be right?

... here in Mill Run. The Laurel Highlands were magnificent. We drove about 30 miles to our bed and breakfast on back roads of rolling hills and screaming fall colors.

Fallingwater 2014
Fallingwater was definitely one of the most amazing buildings I have ever been to. I had learned about Fallingwater several different times in school and it was amazing to finally see it in person. I had thought it was very modern and new but it has a very rustic feel due to the old materials used and the paint fading and rusting in places. The architecture is stunning and the ...
Falling for the weekend
This trip coincided with Donelle's birthday and a weekend so we decided to go away to celebrate by visiting the famous Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater. Our road trip took us through three states, over big rolling heavily wooded hills and finishing in Maryland at the Savage River Lodge. We stopped in a tiny town off the highway to fill up with petrol and have lunch because we spotted a cafe. Turns out when we went in it wasn't a cafe but a gambling den, no coffee to be had. That ...

MH370 families continue search for answers one year on
One year on from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 and relatives of the victims are continuing to fight for answers.

Malaysia Airlines 'hacked by Islamic State sympathisers'
Malaysia Airlines' website has been hacked by a group proclaiming support for the so-called Islamic State.

MH17 crash victim 'found with oxygen mask on'
One of the 298 victims of the MH17 disaster - when a Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down over eastern Ukraine - was found wearing an oxygen mask, Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans said.
The flight was hit by "objects" that "pierced the plane at high velocity", according to an initial report into the disaster, leading to the theory that all on board instantly died after the missile hit.
In a speech to the UN four days after the crash, Mr Timmermans talked emotively about the horror passengers went through "when they knew the plane was going down".
A Dutch talkshow today accused Mr Timmermans of falsely describing events on board the doomed flight during his UN speech.
The Dutch Foreign Minister admitted that all of the people on the flight would not have seen the missile but revealed that one passenger was found with his oxygen mask on.
Flight MH17 victim's donation page passes £10,000 mark
A charity appeal page set up by a victim of flight MH17, who was originally from Leicester, has passed the £10,000 mark after attracting new donations following his death.
More than 650 people have donated to the Kidasha charity on the JustGiving page set up by 20-year-old Richard Mayne.
Richard set up the appeal in January before travelling to Nepal for voluntary work in March.
Kidasha, which helps families living in poverty in Nepal with healthcare and other needs, said the proceeds from the page will be used to help repair a shelter Richard spent time at in Nepal.
"Richard was an incredibly enthusiastic and caring member of the group, who spent time organising art activities and games with children attending a drop-in centre for children living in one of the many slums in and around Pokhara, Nepal's second largest city."
MH17 victim's nephew says 'their dignity has been lost'
The nephew of a British man who died on downed flight MH17 has said scenes of victims' bodies being thrown onto trains in Ukraine were "tough to swallow" as "their dignity has been lost".
Jordan Withers told Good Morning Britain he was still unsure whether the body of his uncle, Glenn Thomas, was on the train travelling to Kharkiv, whether his remains would be identified.
He said: "We still don't know if it's on that train ... We just want to know if Glenn's body is going to be coming back to us as soon as possible and then we can begin the grieving process.
"It's just been such a whirlwind, we've had no time to reflect or grieve or mourn, and I don't think you can actually do that until you get closure on what has happened."
Newcastle players wear T-shirts honouring MH17 dead
Newcastle United will warm up for a pre-season friendly in New Zealand today wearing T-shirts in memory of John Alder and Liam Sweeney, two fans who died on MH17 travelling to watch the match.

MH17: Victims' families shocked at treatment of bodies
The families of victims of the MH17 air disaster have expressed their anger and frustration with the apparent chaos at the scene of the crash that has stopped their loved ones coming home.
ITV News Correspondent Dan Rivers speaks to some of those who have suffered losses in the disaster.
Sunderland fans raise over £25k for MH17 tribute
Sunderland fans have now raised more than £25,000 for a tribute to two Newcastle supporters killed on the downed MH17 plane.
Traditionally bitter local rivalries have been put aside by the Wearside club in the aftermath of the tragedy.
A post on the Sunderland forum Ready To Go shows that the fans had originally hoped to raise around £100 for a floral tribute.
But a crowdfunding page shows that the £25,000 milestone has been reached after just two days.
John Alder, 63, and Liam Sweeney, 28, were both travelling to New Zealand to watch Newcastle's pre-season tour when their plane came down over Ukraine.
Family of Brit killed in Ukraine appeal for return of body
The nephew of one of the British victims of the Ukraine plane disaster said the family is anxiously waiting to hear when they will get his body back. Jordan Withers, whose uncle Glenn Thomas was killed in the crash last Thursday, said the uncertainty was making their pain greater.
He told ITV News Reported Ben Chapman the family want the body home, and want an investigation into what happened as soon as possible after that. He said:
"The blame game should not even come into it yet. Let's just get the bodies back and then we can have an investigation and justice can take its course, after that."
St James' Park tributes to fans killed in Ukraine
A memorial service has been taking place inside St James' Park as Newcastle United paid tribute to two fans killed last Thursday in the Ukraine plane disaster.
John Alder and Liam Sweeney were killed when the flight they were travelling in came down as they traveled to watch the team play in New Zealand.
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew said the forthcoming season will be dedicated to the fans.

I found the watersports area and checked on prices for various activities including para-sailing.

Senior Citizens as Veterans By Patrick M Kennedy Rated "G" by the Author.
Being a senior citizen who also is a veteran of the military, there are many benefits from health to retirement living that you should be aware of, and be taking the benefit of them.
Senior Citizens as Veterans By Patrick M. Kennedy Being a senior citizen who also is a veteran of the military, there are many benefits from health to retirement living that you should be aware of, and be taking the benefit of them. There things like Elder Care, Home Loans at reduced rates, downpayments and closing costs, the GI Bill for education as well as Vocational Training, Life Insurance, and even Burial Benefits. Most veterans are not aware of the eldercare benefits available through veterans' health care, through state veterans' homes, through home renovation grants (HISA Grants), or for two disability income programs called Compensation and Pension. One particular program called Veterans Pension, or more commonly known as the 'Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit,' can provide money to pay for home care for veterans. Aid and attendance can also be used to pay for assisted living for a veteran or the veteran's spouse and for nursing home care for a veteran or the veteran's spouse. What is the 'Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit?' Aid and attendance is a commonly used term for a little-known veterans' disability income. Veterans Nursing Homes are generally available to active duty veterans, but some states have beds for people who served with the reserves or National Guard and the spouses of veterans. The majority of these homes offer nursing care, but some may offer assisted living or domiciliary care. Generally there is no income or asset test. Most veterans in most states would qualify. Many states have waiting lists of weeks to months for available beds. Each facility has different eligibility rules and there is an application process. You cannot simply walk in the door and arrange for nursing care on the spot. You must contact the veterans home you are interested in to find out the availability of beds and the application process. You can get up to $1,949 a month from the Department of Veterans Affairs if you are a veteran who served on active duty during World War II or the Korean Conflict or the Vietnam War. This extra income can be used to pay for home care or assisted living or nursing home care. For more information about a consultant in your area, you can go to this link on the Internet: http://www.longtermcarelink.net/ref_state_veterans_va_nursing_homes.htm Home Loans, are you eligible for these? Veterans, active duty personnel, certain reservists and National Guard members, surviving spouses of persons who die on active duty or die as a result of service-connected disabilities, and certain spouses of active duty personnel who are missing in action, captured in the line of duty by a hostile force, or forcibly detained by a foreign government or power, are eligible. How does this work, you may ask? Well, you get your loan from a private lender, usually your bank, and the VA 'stands behind' the loan with that lender. If something goes wrong and you can't make the payments anymore, the lending institution can come to the VA to cover any losses that might incur. The VA loan guaranty is this 'insurance' that the VA provides to the lender. You won't need mortgage insurance. Most loans are handled entirely by lenders. And more, you don't have to be a first-time homebuyer; you can reuse the benefit, and VA-backed loans are assumable, as long as the person assuming the loan qualifies. For more information go to: http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/lp.asp Then there is the GI Bill, now called the Post 9/11 GI-Bill, which provides financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. It will pay your tuition based upon the highest in-state tuition charged by a public educational institution in the state where the school is located. The amount of support that you may qualify for depends on where you live and what type of degree you are pursuing. For further information you can go to: http://www.gibill.va.gov/post-911/post-911-gi-bill-summary/ Now, along with the GI-Bill, what are these Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment VetSuccess Benefits? The VetSuccess program assists veterans with service-connected disabilities to prepare for, find, and keep suitable jobs. For you veterans with service-connected disabilities so severe that you cannot immediately consider work, VetSuccess offers services to improve your ability to live as independently as possible. This program includes; comprehensive rehabilitation evaluation to determine abilities, skills, and interests for employment; vocational counseling and rehabilitation planning for employment services; employment services such as job-training, job-seeking skills, resume development, other work readiness assistance, and much more. For more information go to: http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/vre/index.htm For your veterans Life Insurance there many options, too many to go into here: Insurance coverage such as SGLI, VGLI, Family SGLI, and SGLI Traumatic Injury Protection. So go to for definitions and help and enrollment: http://www.insurance.va.gov/sgliSite/default.htm. Then there are VA Burial Allowances. VA burial allowances are partial reimbursements of an eligible veteran's burial and funeral costs. When the cause of death is not service related, the reimbursements are generally described as two payments: a burial and funeral expense allowance, and a plot or interment allowance. You may be eligible for a VA burial allowance if you paid for a veteran's burial or funeral, and you have not been reimbursed by another government agency or some other source, such as the deceased veteran's employer, and the veteran was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Again, there is more information available at: http://www.vba.va.gov/VBA/benefits/factsheets/burials/Burialeg_0508.doc So it can be seen, that you, as a senior citizen who is also a veteran, have a wealth of benefits that should not be ignored. Everything helps in today's environment, and your senior-citizen and maybe non-working status. 30

Arctic & International Relations is a Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies (JSIS)-wide initiative, led by the Canadian Studies Center since 2008, to address the Arctic as an emerging global region and actor on the world stage. JSIS and the Center are working in partnership with a parallel initiative, Future of Ice (http://ice.washington.edu/) – a College of the Environment, College of Arts and Sciences, and Applied Physics Laboratory initiative – to enhance the University of Washington's (UW) profile in research, education and public engagement about the polar regions. JSIS and School of Oceanography proposed a minor in Arctic Studies that has been signed; the Office of Global Affairs, and the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of the Environment have sponsored a Canada Fulbright Visiting Chair in Arctic Studies; and, the Center, JSIS and a number of units in both colleges are collaborating on several projects.
The Arctic Studies Minor is offered jointly with the School of Oceanography in collaboration with University of the Arctic. This interdisciplinary academic program will link the natural, social sciences and humanities in an integrated program of study.
The multidisciplinary project, Re-Imagining Area Studies in the 21st Century: The Arctic as an Emerging Global Region, is in collaboration with the Center for Global Studies, Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies, Center for West European Studies, East Asia Center, Jackson School of International Studies, Department of Anthropology, Department of Scandinavian Studies, School of Oceanography, Program on Climate Change, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, the Quaternary Research Center, and the Northern Nunavik Laboratory, Government of Québec.
The Fulbright Visiting Chair in Arctic Studies (2013-2017), in partnership with the Foundation for Educational Exchange Between Canada and the United States, Ottawa, is funded by the Office of Global Affairs, JSIS, Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, and College of the Environment.
The photos on the banner were carefully selected to provide an illustrated view of the complexity of geopolitical relations in the Arctic today. From left, the first photo is of Canadian Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment, who was appointed to be the Chair of the Arctic Council 2013-15. Aglukkaq is the first Inuk to serve as Chair. Next, the Snow Dragon represents China's interest and activity in the Arctic. In September 2012 the Snow Dragon crossed the Arctic Ocean, in "a landmark trip that is part of Beijing's efforts to expand its presence in the Arctic." The polar bear, feeding at a garbage dump in Churchill, Manitoba as a result of late ice freeze, represents the impact of global warming on Arctic wildlife. In the next photo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, chat at the May 2013 Arctic Council meeting illustrating the high-level of federal government interest in Arctic policy development. Finally, the students in the Jackson School of International Studies 2011 Arctic Task Force, pose in Ottawa during a blizzard, and represent the importance of education in training the next generation of policy makers and leaders that will deal with Arctic change.

In 2005, the UK government announced the development of a suite of employer-designed diplomas for 14-19 year olds linked to different industrial and commercial sectors. This article will reflect on some of the achievements and challenges of this major employer engagement initiative by drawing on three pieces of research: a review of Diploma development and two employer consultation studies belonging to the latest phase of Diploma development - the Diplomas in Humanities and Social Sciences and Languages and International Communications. The article suggests that meeting the needs of employers in qualification design is problematic as employers are a heterogeneous group bringing a range of different views, ideas and contributions to the process. Furthermore, the article points to a possible mismatch between policymakers' expectations from employers at the macro level, and what in fact happens at the local, micro level owing to personal and economic circumstances, companies' demands and the economic climate.

At least, we might pause to reflect, they didn't choose to take the matter any further. The small matter of fuss surrounding the charges brought against Luis Suarez finally started to recede this week, after several months of headline-hogging.
There has been, as has seemed perpetual over the last few months or so, a lot of bad news about recently.
The news came through with startling speed, another rumour that swelled to an almost bewildering succession of public statements in just a few short hours. At the end of yesterday, the battle-wearied supporters of Darlington FC could only step back, blinking, and survey the wreckage.

Bible prophecy uses Babylon as a symbol for the power that would rise against God in the end times. Studying ancient and modern Babylon will help us understand the prophecies about the coming end-time Babylon.
Ancient Babylon
When they sinned, God instructed Adam and Eve about how they could still have a relationship with Him. He taught them that they could be saved only by faith in Christ's sacrificial death on their behalf. He gave them a hands-on demonstration of what their salvation would cost the sinless Son of God through the rite of blood sacrifice. They understood that the sacrifice itself could not make them right with God (see Hebrews 10:4), but faith in the sacrifice of Christ, the innocent Lamb of God, would free them of their sins and the penalty of death. By faith, they worshipped God at the gate of the Garden of Eden, trusting in Christ's atoning sacrifice. Abel practiced this pure religion. Hebrews 11:4 confirms that "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous…"
In contrast every false religion follows the course that Cain took. He brought his bloodless sacrifice in opposition to God's command. He did not believe the blood was necessary. Compare with Hebrews 9:22 which tells us "… without shedding of blood is no remission."Although he was openly disobeying His Creator, Cain expected God to accept him. Instead of the required innocent lamb and a broken and contrite spirit, he brought the fruits of his own labour, thinking this was good enough and God should be satisfied. By his act, he demonstrated that he did not have faith in Christ's sacrifice, but trusted in his own righteousness. He failed to see the seriousness of sin and would not humble himself, repent of his sins and submit to God. His act of "worship" was an act of rebellion. Every false system of worship has followed Cain's rebellious, self-centred, works-based pattern.
In this way, many, like the Jews in Paul's day, are deceived into believing that they can make themselves good enough to earn salvation. In Romans 10:3 Paul described the deception: "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." Paul was speaking about the Jews, but his statement applies to every false religion on the planet.
During the time of Noah, God's true church continued worshipping Him as He had commanded, not trusting their own righteousness, but having faith in Christ's atoning work on their behalf. Everyone else on earth was in rebellion against God. But not all of Noah's family was right with God. Noah's son, Ham, was rebellious at heart. After the flood, Ham carried on the work of rebellion. Nimrod, Ham's grandson, continued the pre-flood hostility against God and established Babylon and its system of sun worship. Nimrod built the Tower of Babel because he distrusted God and trusted in his own efforts to save himself. (See Genesis 11:4.)
Although the unfinished tower was abandoned, the city of Babylon became a very influential city, especially in spiritual matters. Ancient Babylon, according to the Scriptures, was the center of ancient worship. It was larger and more impressive than any other city of its time. When the Lord confused the language of the people, the Babylonians carried their Babylonian worship style to every part of the globe.
Throughout history, you can trace the corrupting influence of Babylonian worship systems. Babylonian worship had these traits:
- Works based – False religions teach that you can save yourself. There is no need for a Saviour, since you have divinity within yourself and through a system of works, you can ascend to full divinity.
- Sun worship – The Legend of Nimrod taught that after his death, Nimrod ascended to heaven and became one with the sun. Halos, solar discs, solar rays and mystic circles are all examples of ancient sun worship symbols that are still in use today.
- Mother-son worship – God told Satan in the Garden of Eden that he would receive the death-blow from a male descendent born of Eve. Isaiah prophesied of the God-Man who would reign forever. (See Isaiah 9:6.) Satan introduced mother-goddess worship and attributed greater power to the mother than to the son, to shift worship away from the Son of God to another. An example of exalting the mother above the Son is in the Catholic Church's elevation of Mary to the position of mediatrix and co-redemptrix with Christ. The Catholic Church has attributed to Mary a mediatorial role and teaches people to pray to Mary in direct contradiction of Jesus' own words: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). They have also attributed saving power to Mary in granting her the title Co-Redemptrix. In contrast, the Bible declaries, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).
- Human sacrifices – In a perversion of Christ's sacrifice for sinful humanity and in recognition of the sacred life force represented by human blood, Satan instigated human sacrifices. Pagan religions taught that blood was necessary to appease angry gods.
- Mystery cults and secret societies – Satan has convinced many that the Bible is not the full revelation of God's will, but that a select group of initiates holds the secret to salvation. This is an outright lie, as Jesus Himself declared, " I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing" (John 18:20).
The Bible teaches that man cannot save himself. When a devout and wealthy man came to Jesus asking about the way to salvation, Jesus' disciples must have thought that Jesus would commend the man. After all, outwardly, he was the perfect Jew. He kept the law to the letter and his wealth attested to the fact that God had blessed him, so the disciples thought. They were shocked when Jesus, rather than commending the man, announced that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved. The disciples asked in amazement, "Who then can be saved?" In other words, If this righteous man, so obviously blessed by God, can't be saved, then who can possibly be saved? Jesus answered, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
Contrary to false religions of all kinds, only with God is salvation possible. Earning salvation is a impossibility.
In contrast, the temple sacrifices God ordained pointed to the coming of the world's Redeemer who would pour out His life for fallen humanity. The Bible does not teach that blood appeases God. Rather, the sprinkling of the blood of sacrificial animals upon the altar and before the Mercy Seat, or throne of God, pointed to Christ's atonement and acted as legal evidence that the penalty for sin had been paid. When a person brought a sacrifice to the temple, he leaned his whole weight upon the animal, confessing his sins, and then took the animal's life. The sprinkled blood recorded that the life of an animal had been sacrificed in place of the guilty sinner. By faith, the sinner accepted Christ's work of redemption on his behalf. The sacrifice of innocent animals, as ordained by God, pointed to the innocent Substitute who would take the sins of the world upon Himself to die the death that sinners deserved. When God came in the person of Jesus Christ and died on the cross, symbol met Substance and the curtain of the temple was torn from top to bottom, signifying the end of the sacrificial services.
God condemned human sacrifice and never, ever required them. Through Jeremiah, He declared the practice to be evil saying, "And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart" (Jeremiah 7:31; see also Leviticus 18:21).
These practices were part of ancient Babylonian religion and have been passed on through the ages to various cultures around the globe. Many of these ancient practices continue to be a part of modern or figurative Babylon, the false religious systems of today.
Historical Babylon reached the height of its power and glory under Nebuchadnezzar. Ancient inscriptions tell how Nebuchadnezzar and his father Nabopolasser restored the ancient tower of Babel, a monument to the power of humanity. Nabopolasser said this:
At the time Marduk commanded me to build the tower of Babel, which had become weakened by time and fallen into disrepair; he commanded me to ground its base securely on the breast of the underworld, whereas its pinnacles should strain towards the skies.
Approximately 300 years before King Xerxes of Persia destroyed Babylon, the prophet Isaiah predicted its fall:
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there (Isaiah 13:19-20).
Modern Babylon
In spite of Isaiah's prophecy, there have been attempts to rebuild Babylon. Alexander the Great tried to restore the tower of Babel to its original glory and make the city his capital in 330 BC, but he died before he could begin.
More recently, Saddam Hussein of Iraq was also restoring Babylon, a work he began in the 1980s. He used approximately 60 million bricks in the process and had his name engraved every three meters so that he would be remembered.
However, Hussein must have read the prophecies of Isaiah. His restorations were not an attempt to inhabit the city. Instead, he had his palace built on the other side of the Euphrates River.
End-Time Babylon
Babylon, the great city we read about in the book of Revelation, does not refer to literal Babylon, as that was never to be inhabited again. Rather, Revelation is referring to end-time Babylon, a much greater fulfillment of all that ancient Babylon stood for.
End-time Babylon will be a confederacy of intolerance and false doctrine. This end-time confederacy, however, will fall just like ancient Babylon did. It will even fall for the same reasons—because it will seduce all the nations of the earth into following its false doctrines (Revelation 14:8). Christ will put an end once and for all to all the lies, deception, and hatred when He comes.

Kathryn Bigelow and the bogus link between ivory and terrorism
Diogo Veríssimo
19th January 2015
Claims that the ivory trade is financing terrorism in Africa are all based on a single unreliable source, writes Diogo Veríssimo, yet the real link between terror groups and the illegal charcoal trade barely gets a mention.

Watch JADE Spring Meeting 2015 highlights!
Junior Enterprises are effective methods for spreading the entrepreneurial spirit in Europe's youth. Students who participated in these activities are more self-confident, more innovative, more likely to seek new solutions. I would, therefore, like to stress the role played by organisation like JADE, and the importance of Junior Enterprises as learning tools and bridges between university and the business world.
José Manuel BarrosoPresident of the European Commission
JADE has clearly recognised the important connection between education and business which I fully support. Education is a vital component in creating a prosperous society where both human endeavour and comfort can thrive and giving students a chance to experience and learn entrepreneurial skills as part of their studies must be of vital assistance. The initiative created by JADE can only help students to learn entrepreneurial skills and help prepare those who will eventually choose a career in business. I applaud the efforts of JADE!
Stelios Haji-IoannouFounder of EasyGroup
Over the past 40 years, the Junior Enterprise concept has evolved into a successful best practice, encouraging students, universities and enterprises to embrace entrepreneurship. The benefits of actively participating in a Junior Enterprise reach far beyond setting up and running a business. It promotes an entrepreneurial mindset, fosters intercultural dialogue, and encourages mobility. I would like to wish JADE every success in its continuing efforts to change young people's lives for better.
Ján FigelCommissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth
We need the build bridges between the academic world of education and training on one side and the practical world of enterprises on the other side. JADE is doing an excellent job in this respect by offering students the chance to gain experience as entrepreneurs. This is why EUROCHAMBERS supports and promotes this initiative.
Arnaldo AbruzziniSecretary General of EUROCHAMBRES
As we face these challenging economic times, it is vital that both Industry leaders and European Union leaders nurture the entrepreneurial spirit and skillset of the young people of Europe. Microsoft embraces the urgency of this entrepreneurial challenge. We view partnerships such as the one with JADE as a vital first step in addressing these challenges.
Regina MurrayEducational Sector Director of Microsoft Western Europe
JADE Members
JADE is an umbrella organisation of more than 280 student-run businesses across 200 universities in 12 European countries.

And GOD knows--well, maybe it's YHWH--that having lots of armed jewish (especially the fundies) settlers has contributed greatly to the establishment of peaceful community relations between the settlers and those displaced by the bulldozers to make room for more Israeli settlements. I find it more than a bit ironic that the rabbie (and Farago) do not bother to comment on the fact that the IDF is not terribly tolerant of armed Palestinians in their midst.

once in a while
you have to say to yourself
"I am beautiful"
because no matter what other people think
always love, believe, and take care of yourself.
Live life to the fullest and
never back down.
Maybe I don't have a mind,
but at least I'm not crazy.
I fallen so many times,
so I'm so experienced.
I've been cheated and left behind;
I know my friends and enemies.
I hear the echos of memories;
they see how far I've come.
So I know I've come so far.
Don't have a lot of friends,
so music's number 1.
Would kill for solitude,
but then where is the fun.
Maybe it's complicated,
but that makes an adventure.
Sometimes the darkest times,
are ones we gladly venture.
Optimist living for a life we understand. We were never idiots; we have the upper-hand. Notice their all falling down the depths of agony, but we optimist live strong, proud, and free.
Bright, cheerful, optimistic
The very picture of idealistic
you tell me of all your grand adventures
and how all the lights of the city look so peaceful
from far away
you boast of dazzling sunsets and gorgeous sunny days
but i want to stay inside
the city is dirty and the lights hurt my eyes
i never want to see the sun set because endings are too sad
and sunny days make me sick
i want rain
i want to be able to cry outside and let the floods wash away the pain
"but life is so beautiful on the other side" you said
and i looked into your eyes and with a bitter tone i whispered to you
"i don't ever want to watch the sun set"
it was then i realized i had been watching it gradually fade
the whole time
i used to cut
because i was angry at myself
and i was angry at my parents
and my friends who honestly weren't good at their "job" of being said friends
and everything else in the world that didn't benefit me.
i hated myself
and i still do
but maybe less than i did then
because i'm not as angry at myself
as i used to be
and the last time i cut
was in may
and those "friends" don't talk to me anymore
but my parents still make me absolutely livid sometimes
but what can you expect?
the world makes everyone mad sometimes
and i really wanted to treat it better than it treats me
"kill 'em with kindness!" like dad always says
but it's kind of hard to do.
it's like the one kid who picked on you
and called you fat when you were in kindergarten
but when you told the teacher
they cry and say that you were mean to them first
except the world can't cry
and the world can't talk
and i guess the teacher is the sun,
and if you think of it that way,
the sun is going to blow up in a few billion years
and then the earth will be dead
and you will be dead before that,
so i guess
that it's better to be optimistic
even when you're angry
because when you're angry
and upset at yourself
or your friends
or parents
then you get hurt
and your parents get hurt
and your friends get hurt as well
I consider it
rather optimistic
to view myself
as a small spec
in this large swimming pool
of a universe
it only encourages me
to be
Like happiness, sadness is ephemeral. Nothing last forever.
So use your energy instead to improve your future endeavors.
The imprecise nature of our real existence,
Is an approximate level of our understanding
They say a calm mind and optimist view
Can even save a Crash landing

Crash victim identified
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a woman who died after a motor vehicle incident at Wood Lake on Dec.19.
She was Elly Collins, 59, of Salmon Arm.
Collins was the driver and sole occupant of a vehicle that was involved in a single-vehicle incident on Highway 97 at Wood Lake in the early afternoon of Dec. 19.
She was heading northbound on Highway 97 when her vehicle went out of control and into the lake.

Admiring his accomplishments is not what drives Charles Neuman to succeed again and again. "I don't have a lot of time to reflect," says the CEO of Water Technology in Beaver Dam, Wis. "I'm always looking forward — I don't sit and gloat about what I've done."
The 55-year-old Neuman started his aquatics design company in 1983 with three people, working on early waterparks such as Noah's Ark in the Wisconsin Dells and Magic Waters in Rockford, Ill. Today, his company has expanded to 40 employees, entering different fronts of the waterpark industry as it, too, continues to grow.
"We've grown into a master-planning, concept and theme design along with technical design," Neuman says. "All of those areas have grown as we have responded to the industry."
Neuman grew up in Beaver Dam and graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his college years he was drafted into the army. After graduation, he started his first swimming pool building company in 1973. He saw a need for engineers and designers in the industry, and grabbed hold with the founding of Water Technology. His company's work spans the aquatics industry, from waterparks to community centers and high schools and YMCAs.
A wealth of accolades and awards illustrate the company's success. But Neuman says its best accomplishment is being nimble enough to work on both very small and extremely large projects in the public and private markets.
"It doesn't seem like a very profound statement," he says, "but it takes a very diverse group of people who can think and respond to that."
