Kings find support through Queen's song
For the British Indians who've danced and sung into and out of India's games, the T20 cricket, and the World T20 in particular, is opportunity to touch base with their past in a format widely deemed to be the future of the game, writes Arjun Sen.cricket Updated: Sep 13, 2009 16:44 IST
For the British Indians who've danced and sung into and out of India's games, the T20 cricket, and the World T20 in particular, is opportunity to touch base with their past in a format widely deemed to be the future of the game.
It's a fun tournament and everyone's in the stadium to have a ball, but Indians and Pakistanis are the most vocal and raucous of them all. The tournament opens another front in the rivalry between Indian and Pakistani populations. While players of Indian and Pakistani lineage have played for England, the World Cup gives them a chance to scream, yell and cry for the teams of the countries they've left behind.
Jasvinder Singh, who'd driven from Leeds to Nottingham for the match against Ireland, said: "We're proud of this Indian team — they're the world champions, the best team in the world!"
The Indian fans are especially proud of the fact that the team is the reigning world champion in T20 cricket. Queen's iconic song, We are the Champions has almost become a staple of the India games. India's win in South Africa in 2007 has almost given the Brit fans the license to walk in to any game in the tournament, loudly singing the song.
"It is not very often that we are the reigning champions, is it?" Neil, a third generation British Indian, explains. "We have to let the whole world know that we are the champions, the best. That is why you'll see these Indian fans going to games involving the likes of Pakistan and England with an Indian flag in hand and the Champions chat on their lips."
It is not hard to see why T20 cricket is the rage around these parts. First the World Cup victory in South Africa gave Indian fans a chance, for the first time for many, a chance to call themselves champions. And then, the advent, and eventual success of the IPL only helped these fans in proving a point to the rest of the world.
"The English might have invented the game, and this format, but India have taken it to the world. We are the champions, the brains behind the IPL. And now, all these Aussie and English players come flocking to play in the IPL. It makes us very proud," Jignesh Patel, a fan, told me at the Oval.
"People of Asian origin are keener about T20 cricket," said John Finch, a volunteer steward at Trent Bridge. "They're more passionate, and they celebrate victory or mourn defeat with greater excitement. The native British population is keen about T20, but I think they're keener about Test cricket or even ODIs, which require greater strategy and planning."
It has been one big party for the Indian fans so far, they would be hoping it lasts till the 21st.

This news article discussed the health issues that are plaguing retired NFL players, such as depression (or other mental health issues, which can be risk factors for suicide), sleep apnea, high cholesterol/blood pressure, diabetes, etc. The underlying theme to this article is that football players have been indoctrinated into an atmosphere of masculinity, which prevents them from speaking up about health issues because they want to preserve that "tough" and heroic image.

This book is a handbook of sport and media. It traces the development of sport media and coverage, which is what I was most interested in learning more about from this handbook. It talks about how sport coverage began and how it changed over time, particularly how media coverage of sport has been shifting throughout the ages—the Agricultural, Industrial, and finally, the Information Age.

This is the website for the Boston University center that researches CTE. It provides good information about the disease and how it develops, risk factors, relation to concussion, etc. It chronicles the research efforts and findings of a particular group of CTE researchers who are usually interviewed and mentioned/quoted in news articles. Another aspect I am interested in when doing this research is evaluating who the sources in news articles typically are. I want to compare/contrast the use of official and unofficial sources in news stories.

This article shows the evidence between concussions, TBI and CTE and the symptoms of each. There are no treatment options for CTE, so it discusses concussion prevention especially in sports where the injuries can be more common. Sports-related injuries account for 10% of head and spinal cord injuries. Yearly, 1.5 million Americans suffer traumatic brain injury (TBI) without loss of consciousness or need for hospitalization. Football is the sport where players are highest at risk for concussion due to its high impact nature.

This is a book about qualitative research and how to do it. Creswell presents five approaches to qualitative research while also exploring the philosophical underpinnings, history and important elements of these five approaches (narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, case study). The author talks about methodology of each, data collection, verification, etc. This was one of the required texts for Dr. Duke's qualitative research class.

This newspaper article addressed the concussion debate that has been very prevalent in sports, especially recently. The author asserts that as a society we have become numb to the serious nature of concussions in sports and simply accepted it as just a commonplace occurrence. He calls for increased awareness and better treatment of concussions, which can have negative long-term effects for athletes, regardless of their sport.

This article recounted the death of a popular NFL athlete who died by suicide in 2000. It provided risk factors and symptoms that Kelley experienced before his suicide (both short and long term symptoms/risk factors).

This journal article discusses the relationship between the media and suicide, particularly the ways in which the media coverage of a suicide can inspire contagions. The author looks at articles from English language publications to see how the stories talk about suicide. She provides statistics about the effects and gives suggestions on how to minimize harm and risk associated with these stories.

This magazine article illustrated how important sports are in the United States. It gave me information about finances and what the highest grossing events are. Understanding how essential sports are (and have always been) to our national identity and psyche is a cornerstone for further understanding how important the athletes are, and when they die, their deaths can have wide-reaching impacts on the average population.

This journal article discussed the risks factors associated with injured athletes and suicide. The study measured their feelings of depression, hopelessness and negative emotions surrounding their injury. Depression is an important risk factor for mental health issues and may be a risk for suicide as well, so it's important to see how athletes view their situation and how they adjust (or become maladjusted) to their surroundings following an injury or in the case of some of these NFL athletes, retirement.

Beautiful long hair was considered a woman's crowning glory in the 1800's and this is very evident in today's tintype which features two women proudly showing of their very very long, dark-colored hair. This photo seems to have been well thought out as each woman is wearing a white dress to best accentuate her hair. I like how the photographer has posed these women, one sitting and one standing, each with their hair over their shoulder down the front.
It appears that these women are related from their facial features, and I believe they were most likely mother and daughter. I had real trouble dating this photo. My feeling is that it was probably taken late 1870's to early 1880's, however I could be wrong.

Once again, it's time for VMworld and time for vendors to roll out all sorts of announcements. Since Linux plays such a big part in the world of virtualization and cloud computing, let's take a look at some of the news around VMworld that relates to Linux.
One of the most interesting announcements for the open source community has to be the announcement that CloudStack is going 100% open source. A quick refresher, Citrix bought Cloud.com (which owned CloudStack) just a little over a month ago. While there's always been a CloudStack community release, there were features (mostly to bridge to proprietary tools & software) exclusive to the commercial release.
Now Citrix is all in when it comes to CloudStack. There's a preview release out now that rolls in features from the proprietary release. Come the next stable release, it will all be one big happy codebase — under the GPLv3.
Oracle VM 3
Technically, this was announced prior to VMworld but you know Oracle wanted to make a splash ahead of the big event. Oracle announced its Oracle VM 3 last week with a number of improvements.
Most notable? Oracle has beefed up its management software for Oracle VM, and has standardized on the Xen 4.0 hypervisor for Oracle VM 3. Oracle claims that VM 3 can scale up to 160 CPUs and 2TB on one machine, and can host guests with up to 128 virtual CPUs.
The company has also released more than 90 templates for Oracle VM, so Oracle shops can launch applications for Oracle application stacks with a few clicks.
VMware's Big Announcements
Naturally, VMware had a few big announcements at VMworld. (It's almost as if they planned it that way...)
While not Linux-specific, a lot of Linux shops are going to be interested in the announcements around their vCloud Datacenter Services program. The program features third-party providers that offer VMware cloud infrastructure. When it was initially unveiled it was in beta and had five partners. Now the program is covering 25 data centers in 13 countries.
The idea behind the program is not just that you can have VMware cloud infrastructure provided by a hosting partner, but that you can move between providers for scalability and performance reasons. (Also if you just don't like a provider.) The company has also launched a site to help customers locate providers so they don't have to waste time on Google finding shops that offer the services.
Of more interest to the open source community, especially the PostgreSQL community, was the VMware vFabric Data Director. This is a database provisioning and operations tool for companies to use to, essentially, virtualize their databases.
In a nutshell, it makes it easier to provision and move databases through their lifecycle. From conception to testing to production. VMware offers cloning, management, and monitoring tools that are meant to make data management much easier.
Why's this of interest to PostgreSQL fans? The initial release features a customized version of PostgreSQL 9. The company has said other databases will be supported, but PgSQL is the first out of the gate.
Red Hat Aeolus
Red Hat is also in the game with its Aeolus project. What's Aeolus? It's a bit higher up the stack than the OS. Aeolus is software to manage your private and public cloud services. Remember those nasty Amazon EC2 outages in early August and in April this year? The idea is that Aeolus would allow you to have images running or ready to run on several cloud services at any time.
One service fails? Spin up on another provider. No lock in, no problem. Naturally, Aeolus is open source and runs on Linux. (Some of it also works on Mac OS X). It supports Red Hat RHEV, Eucalyptus, vSphere, and Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud.
Though much of the news in and around VMworld is not Linux-specific, it's worth remembering that much of the technology being touted at VMworld is there because of Linux. As we noted in our wrapup from LinuxCon, it's what Linux enables that's really important.

2010 is getting a little crowded for videogame releases.
Take-Two originally stated all four of its biggest 2010 titles, BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption, would see a release in the first half of 2010.
Now, that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.
In its preliminary fourth quarter results ending October 31, the company stated Max Payne 3 is now slotted for a release during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 (August-October).
Looks like Take-Two is setting the title up to be a top holiday release for next year.

Interesting article by Ralph Fedor K0IR and Glenn Johnson W0GJ, for European DX'ers in exclusive to DxCoffee.
The end of January will be historic and I hope to make at least one contact (like I did for Amsterdam Island) and be among the lucky to add a new one to the totals.

Elvaston Castle future outlined in 10-year vision plan
Derbyshire County Council has outlined a 10-year plan to save a Grade II-listed property in need of an estimated £6m worth of repairs.
Elvaston Castle was turned into a country park in 1969 and currently costs the authority £800,000 a year to maintain.
Under proposals the estate will be passed to a community group, which will be responsible for finances.
The authority said it will retain ownership of the 17th Century estate.
It had previously announced plans to sell the building and 130 hectare (320 acre) estate but this was abandoned following protests from the friends group.
The castle has only one room which is open to the public and has been on English Heritage's buildings-at-risk register for several years.
The plan aims to bring buildings back into use, maximise the appeal of its history and extend the range of activities held in the grounds.
Currently, the park is used by walkers, cyclists, bird watchers, and has its own nature reserve. Last summer, Elvaston was awarded a Green Flag for its outdoor space.
Councillor Brian Ridgway said: "The vision aims to secure the many benefits of the Elvaston estate for public access and recreation, heritage and conservation."
He added: "The vision also aims to put the estate on a sound financial footing with a business model that creates income that is reinvested in the stewardship of the estate without eroding its special qualities and significance.
"We've worked hard over the past few months to try and gather as much opinion from all those who use the estate and hope that people will now take the time to let us have their opinions on the draft vision and plan."
People can read the plan and give their views online.

Sports Medicine Major and Minor
A sports medicine degree prepares students for careers in applied or clinical health professions or for graduate work in disciplines related to the exercise science. Both degree options require extensive laboratory experiences. Students are encouraged to participate in research in the discipline and or internship/volunteer venues relating to their particular emphasis and future professional aspirations.
Sports Medicine Degrees
- Bachelor of Arts in Sports Medicine: Courses for this degree option were selected after review of our benchmark peers and comply with national standards established by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for the Health Fitness Instructor Certification (HFI). Students receiving this degree are prepared for careers in the health/fitness industry as well as for graduate programs in exercise and sport sciences.
- Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine: This degree prepares students for graduate school in the health sciences, including medicine, physician's assistant, physical therapy, and occupational therapy as well as graduate work in exercise and sport sciences.
Sports Medicine Minor
Our minor provides an opportunity for students interested in sports medicine to take several key courses while majoring in another discipline.

The first question Woods received at a media conference today, held in Red Wing-crazed Michigan, was "Pittsburgh or Detroit?" Woods could only respond with a blank stare, as if someone had asked how the Sex and the City movie ended. After the reporter explained that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings were playing in the Stanley Cup finals, Woods laughed. "I don't really care about hockey—it's all about the Dodgers now," he said. "No one really watches hockey anymore, do they?"

Even a court victory for Aereo won't torpedo sports rights fees
But while the high court's ruling, expected in the next few months, has the potential to be disruptive to how broadcasters conduct their business, few believe that it will be the pinprick that bursts a sports rights fee bubble.
Over the past two years, I've asked sports media executives about their view of Aereo, a service that redistributes broadcast signals via the Internet for a small monthly fee. The fear is that Aereo has the potential to be as disruptive to television as Napster was music — that it would shake up the system so dramatically that the lucrative retransmission consent fees that distributors pay broadcasters would be cut. Any significant cut in retrans revenue threatens broadcasters' ability to afford multibillion-dollar sports rights fees.
Still, most of the media executives I've contacted believe sports rights fees will remain high regardless of how the high court rules, even if the decision leads to significant changes in the television business.
n If the court sides with the broadcasters, nothing changes and the current business model is preserved.
n If the court sides with Aereo, broadcasters will have to change their business model and develop new revenue streams.
It's become popular to view a Supreme Court win for Aereo as a significant threat to the lucrative multibillion-dollar business that is TV sports. The thinking is that if the court decides Aereo can redistribute broadcast signals without having to pay retransmission consent fees, broadcasters would lose a big revenue stream that has allowed them to compete for sports rights.
That's because if Aereo is successful, cable and satellite distributors are certain to follow suit and cut their retrans payments. In the last year alone, both DirecTV's Michael White and former Time Warner Cable executive Glenn Britt publicly said they would mimic Aereo's strategy should the company win a favorable ruling. That would allow distributors to skirt around retrans fees that are among the most expensive in the industry.
This is where the sports media community sees the biggest potential for danger as it relates to leagues and teams. But broadcasters already have plans in place to preserve the retrans revenue, which brings in billions of dollars per year.
News Corp.'s Chase Carey has said that he would consider turning Fox into a cable channel, shedding the local affiliate system. This would ensure that distributors can't carry the Fox channel without paying a license fee.
Another option would be to stream the channel. CBS CEO Leslie Moonves has said that he would consider making CBS available over the Internet should the Supreme Court side with Aereo. Just last month, Moonves told a financial conference that an over-the-top network is a real option should Aereo win at the Supreme Court. Moonves was short on details, but any over-the-top service would have to have a subscription component to offset a possible loss in retrans fees.
Both examples would preserve broadcasters' ability to pay sports rights fees, which is what's really important to the leagues. But both cases would create headaches for existing media rights contracts the leagues already have signed.
Take the NFL, for example. The league's deals with CBS, Fox and NBC specify that the league's games must be carried via a broadcast channel. If broadcast channels become cable channels, those contracts would have to be reworked. Plus, odds are that the leagues would demand a higher payout from a channel that moves from 116 million broadcast homes to 98 million cable homes.
An Internet-delivered channel presents similar problems. Most of the broadcasters' media rights deals with leagues are for broadcast television. Internet streaming deals tend to have their own, separate contracts. A league would not allow its programming to move from broadcast TV to a less popular platform for free. These negotiations almost certainly would be onerous.
Ever since professional sports leagues started seeing big media rights fees increases, they have seen bogeymen all over the place.
League executives have fretted that online video pirates, cord cutters and aging fan bases threaten the model that has brought them riches.
Leagues and networks work hard to maintain the status quo. That's been the impetus behind the TV Everywhere push, which has attempted to create an online environment that thwarts cord cutters and pirated streams.
Aereo is nothing more than a new bogeyman. Networks and advertisers still value live sports as the best way to aggregate big, young audiences. That won't change, regardless of what the high court decides.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is tearing a page out of TV marketing handbooks to brand its new films.
Commercials for new MGM releases will prominently display the movie's title for the full length of the spot, similar to the way many broadcast and cable networks now feature their logos in the bottom corner of the TV screen during programs.
The spots will appear in letterbox format, which frames the TV screen in black borders to re-create the rectangular shape of a movie screen.
MGM's new "Just the Ticket," which stars Andy Garcia as a ticket scalper, is one of the first films to be promoted via the new commercial format. It will also be used for the upcoming "The Mod Squad," based on the 1970s TV show.
"Audiences are really bombarded with messages, not only film, but television networks, cable networks, and now home video," said Gerry Rich, president of worldwide marketing for MGM Distribution Co., the theatrical division of MGM. "We asked, 'How can we stand out and look a bit different?'"
One veteran Hollywood ad executive said the MGM strategy is a new one for a major studio, and could keep TV viewers from grabbing the remote.
"It's the first time I've seen it," said Craig Murray, president of Craig Murray Productions. "It may give you one less reason to jump to another television show."
Promoting new films is increasingly time sensitive, with opening weekend performance seen as crucial to success.
Weeks before a film opens, producers track audience response to TV spots, theater trailers and outdoor ad campaigns.
Two factors, "intent to see" and "awareness" are seen as accurate indicators of how a movie will perform.
MGM's new process, the studio's Mr. Rich said, "will heighten the awareness level of the title, which is certainly a factor in determining box office success."
MGM hopes the process will distinguish its campaigns from those for rival flicks, which can often look numbingly similar. There's a reason for that. In the movie industry, Hollywood's boutique entertainment shops regularly work on multiple films from different studios at the same time.
"We all go to the same boutiques, and we all have the same look to our advertising," said Mr. Rich. "There is room for innovation."
By doing this MGM believes it will distinguish its ads from those for other studios' films and other entertainment properties, such as TV movies and home videos, thereby letting the viewer know the MGM product is of theatrical movie quality.
For "The Mod Squad," MGM plans a more elaborate identification on spots, with the black border replaced by a late '60s pop art motif.

Thomas Allgood, a nursing home developer who federal prosecutors say was a victim of extortion by two Sunrise officials, testified in U.S. District Court Friday that the two men worked for their pay.
But he said he did not know what lobbyist Marvin ``Spike`` Leibowitz had done for his $37,500 share of the $70,000 consulting fee.
Allgood, a principal in Richmond Healthcare Inc. and majority leader of the Georgia Senate, testified in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom that he paid no bribes to suspended City Council member John Montgomery or suspended Planning and Zoning Board member Robert O`Keefe, partners in a real estate firm.
But Allgood said he expected Montgomery to favor Richmond`s proposed nursing home when it came before the council for financing assistance and zoning approval.
``After I satisfied myself that (under Florida law on conflict of interest) Mr. Montgomery could vote on the matter before the council . . . Mr. Montgomery`s political position was not that important to me. I expected him to vote favorably because he was supporting the project,`` Allgood said.
``It`s unthinkable to me that we ever would have had any extortion. It didn`t happen.``
Montgomery and O`Keefe are accused of conspiring to extort $70,000 from Richmond Healthcare between May 1981 and June 1983 in exchange for their influence in gaining approval for the company`s proposed nursing home project. They also are being tried on tax evasion charges.
Leibowitz pleaded guilty last month to tax evasion charges in the case. In exchange, the government dropped conspiracy and extortion counts against him.
The developer, called as a witness for the defense, said the money was a fee for the two officials` help in pulling the project together.

Breaking the rules of their Order, Ruth's husband packs up his pregnant wife and their four children and joins a wagon train heading west. Though Ruth is determined to keep separate from the English, as stricture demands, the harrowing journey soon compels her to accept help from two unlikely allies.
But as these new friendships lead to betrayal, what started as a quest for a brighter future ends with Ruth making unthinkable sacrifices, risking faith and family, and transforming into a woman she never imagined she'd become. If you are interested in joining the book club, stop in the Library and pick up a book.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Mac Programming' started by daggoth, Jan 23, 2009.
I'm about 99% sure that you would put in an exponent like 34*10^2
from the kochan bok
(3.31 x 10e8 x + 2.01 x 10e7)
the 'e' can be lower or upper case
Actually, that's not correct. The 'e' means "times 10 to the power of", so if you say 10e8, you're actually saying "10 times 10 to the 8th power", which is 10 to the 9th power--not what you want.
You shouldn't use the multiplication operator at all: just type "3.3e8," "2.01e-7", etc.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// insert code here...
NSLog(@"%g",(3.31e-8 + 2.01e-7) / (7.16e-6 + 2.01e-8) );
[pool drain];
return 0;
/* 0.032604 */
I was only showing the notation not correcting what i "thought" he meant by his expression.

This means it's having trouble loading the OS
What you'll need to do is startup from a install disk by holding down C or Option at startup, then you can use disk utility to verify and repair the drive. If it can't be repaired then you'll need DiskWarrior to fix it, which essentially will fix the boot.efi file that's giving you trouble, it's always worked for me fixing boot issues, if it fails, that means you'll need a new hard drive, and possibly data recovery software if you don't have backups. If you can manage to boot or something, BACK EVERYTHING UP! Your HD could go at any minute with conditions like these. SuperDuper is good for cloning the whole drive, however you can also just copy whatever files you need to an external HD.

This is not working for me!
I get the apple and long great bar and it fills in and then the apple again with a grey bar that says "installing: about 31 minutes remaining"
Well that never changes!

Mă-Kè Bonsai Videos
The video explains how to grow the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris), which is a great European species and are excellent bonsai trees for beginners.
Scots Pines are one of the only native pines trees in the UK. It is fast gaining popularity as a bonsai in the UK and even in Europe. They grow in the wild quite straggly. They tend to lose most of their lower branches. The needles in the Scots Pine can be about four to five inches but in the bonsai, they can reduce significantly. Some of the best specimens of bonsai are collected from the Alpine mountains where they take a quite a beating in terms of weather and snow, so they have developed very beautiful bark and Yamadori Scots Pine is quite sought after. However, you can grow them yourself and they will develop nice bark. The bark is very scraggly dark gray to gray. The needles are, two needles in a sheet and they develop between five and six buds at the terminals, especially at the top of the tree which is where most of the pruning needs to be done. In terms of location, the Scots Pine is best grown in full Sun area. Like all pines, again, it needs the microcondial bacteria so it's best to have it grown on the dry side rather than on the wet side. Repot the Scots pine again in July, August when I prefer to repot the Scots Pine. They have enough time to recuperate before the winter sets in and they do well with the repot every three to four years. In terms of propagation, they grow very easily from seed so you can grow them from from seeds. Some of their dwarf varieties you may have to graft on but in general, grow them from seed. They're faster, they do very well. And that's how you would grow a Scots Pine bonsai.

DISASTER: The Fear of Natural Calamity
We will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46:2
At least the Trowbridges had a place to hide—a neighbor's cellar. Kelcy, her husband, and their three children filed into its cool darkness, huddled beneath a blanket, and listened to the warning sirens howling through a Monday afternoon in May of 2013. The Trowbridges lived in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, and a deadly tornado was on its way.
The family could only sit, holding hands and listening as the sirens were drowned out by sounds that were louder and far more terrible. Shrieking winds converged upon the house, and there was a violent pounding on the cellar door. The children began to cry. "Shhh, it's just debris," Kelcy said. "Loose things blowing around, hitting the walls."
Then, after about forty minutes, an eerie silence fell. The Trowbridges emerged into the light of a world they didn't recognize. The neighborhood was a shambles. Where was their home? It lay flattened to the earth, like rows of other houses on their street. Where was the family car? They eventually discovered that it had been lifted into the air, carried down the street, and then thrown on its roof.
One by one, the neighbors emerged, all speechless. Where there should have been birds singing, there was only the sound of muffled sobs. Here were the remains of their lives and the loss of comfortable illusions—illusions of stability and security in a rational world.
Mr. Trowbridge wasn't one to stand around. He went to work salvaging, sorting. But after a moment, he pulled back abruptly.
"Call the police," he said in a flat tone.
There, amid the bricks and pipes and rubble, was a little child—a girl no more than two or three years old. She was dead. Mr. Trowbridge was stoic until the police arrived, and then he lost it—weeping for the girl, for his family, for the violence of the earth.
Meanwhile, near Plaza Towers Elementary, Stuart Earnest Jr. saw and heard things that he knew would haunt him for the rest of his life. The school was directly hit by the tornado. Seven children lost their lives, and Earnest couldn't block out the sounds of the tragedy. He heard the voices of those screaming for help and the equally heartrending screams of those trying to come to their assistance.
A fourth grader named Damian Britton was among the Plaza Towers survivors, thanks to a courageous teacher who had saved his life. It seemed to Damian that all the horrors occurred in a five-minute period before the students came out of their hiding places. It was much the same everywhere—five short minutes for little ones, or anyone else, to learn such profound lessons of life and loss.
I have to tell you that it is difficult to recount those stories. It would be so much easier to keep the tone pleasant and comfortable, even in a book about fear. The problem, of course, is that the stories are true, and we know it. And they can happen again in another five minutes or tomorrow or the next day. Every year the news brings us yet another reminder that the natural forces governing this planet are troubled and unstable.
We live in a kind of necessary denial. We proceed with our daily lives as if we have guarantees of security that simply aren't possible in this life. We congratulate ourselves for our impressive advances in technology, and we pretend we've conquered every challenge to life and health. But it's not so. Nature is gorgeous and inspiring—and also monstrous and inhuman.
In 2004 the big tragedy was the Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed 230,000 people. I can't get past those numbers. In 2005 we encountered Hurricane Katrina. And who can forget 2010–11? The earthquake in Haiti cost another 220,000 people their lives; the tsunami in Japan, at least 15,000.
But those are merely the headline weather events. There are too many earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, famines, storms, and tsunamis for us to even keep a running tally. Natural calamities rage on in our world, costing us countless billions of dollars and, more significantly, hundreds of thousands of lives.
Natural disaster raises many questions about the nature of our security, about our fear of the uncontrollable, and especially about the character of God. These questions need answers. But I'd like to open the discussion by sharing about a biblical character who experienced two natural disasters in the space of twenty-four hours. His name, of course, was Job.
Job has become the quintessential model for enduring disaster, and if ever there was someone we'd think didn't deserve it, it was Job. The first few verses of his book give testimony concerning Job in four areas. We learn first of all about his faith—that he was a man who was "blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil" (Job 1:1). Job was not sinless, but he was mature in character and a man of righteousness.
Job is also distinguished because of his fortune: "His possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East" (Job 1:3).
In Job's day, wealth was calculated in terms of land, animals, and servants, and Job had all three in abundance. He was the wealthiest man of his time.
He wasn't just a man of fortune but also of family. The first chapter tells us that he raised sons and daughters who were close knit. They held great birthday feasts for one another, after which their father would make burnt offerings to God on their behalf. He said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts" (Job 1:5). Faith and family were intertwined for him.
Finally, he had many friends. Some are famous for their role in Job's book, but there were no doubt many others who weren't mentioned. Job 2:11 recounts how a group of his closest friends arrived to mourn with him after the great losses he sustained. If you know anything about Job's narrative, you remember that these friends ended up letting him down. But still, they were his friends, and they came from distant parts to minister to him in his time of need.
They were right to sit with him to help him bear the load of mourning. Where they went wrong was when they attempted to give pat explanations and solutions for a situation that was anything but simple. In the end, they brought out the worst rather than the best in Job. Yet we're told that he forgave them and there was reconciliation (Job 42:9-11).
What those friends couldn't know—what Job himself couldn't know—was that spiritual forces were in play far beyond their reckoning. The details are recounted in Job 1:8-12:
The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"
So Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"
And the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Armed with God's permission, Satan went to work, and Job's ruin came rapidly, with four calamities occurring in one day. These were the terms: Satan could come after Job's possessions, but not his person. And so the great experiment began. But what we see already is that it's clear who is in charge of this world. The devil can test Job, but not without God's permission. Our God reigns, and we can't afford to forget it during a discussion of disaster—or any other time.
What do you give the man who has everything? Disaster—that was something Job had yet to experience. It begins during one of those feasts, with the sons and daughters all gathered together, laughing and enjoying one another's company.
A messenger approaches Job with disturbing news. Sabean raiders have descended on his estate, hijacked Job's cattle, and killed his servants. This messenger alone has survived to tell the tale (Job 1:13-15).
Yet even before the servant has finished his account, before Job has taken it all in, the door opens and another messenger stands there. He is pale, his eyes wide, as he whispers, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants" (Job 1:16).
At this point it seems that Job's day can't get any worse. But a third messenger is right behind. The phrase "while he was still speaking" is used three times in this passage. For Job, at least, the old adage is true: calamities often come in bunches.
The third messenger brings news that there has been a raid by the Chaldeans. They have stolen the camels, killed the servants, and yes, left one distressed messenger (Job 1:17).
A lot has gone wrong for Job—calamity piled upon calamity. But before he can make sense of any of this, let alone form any kind of recovery plan, the coup de grâce falls:
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:18-19
Along with everything else, Job must have been blessed with a strong heart. Can you imagine taking in such news? He was devoted to his children, constantly bringing them before God. Despite all his intercession, they have died in one fell blow. He faces ten fresh graves and an aching silence from heaven. Why, God?
The book of Job has always been the go-to book to help people cope with the existence and effects of evil. At the outset, the book shows us three major sources of evil. First, there are evil individuals, such as the Sabeans and the Chaldeans who killed Job's servants and stole his oxen and donkeys. Then it shows the destructive evil of natural disasters in the fire that destroyed Job's livestock and herders and the windstorm that killed Job's children. And behind it all, we see evil on a cosmic level in the hand of Satan who, with God's permission, orchestrated the entire disaster.
Since scholars consider Job to be the oldest book in the Bible, we know that the problem of natural disasters has been with us for as long as human beings have walked the earth. The Bible doesn't gloss over the tougher questions of life; it doesn't try to make us avert our gaze. We're invited to stand with Job in the cemetery, looking down at the ashes of his dreams, and ask God why? The first question evoked by this story in particular and natural calamities in general is this: What do these recurring disasters say about God?
God Cannot Be Divorced from Disasters
Some say that God should not even be included in the discussion of disasters since He would have nothing to do with such evil. The explanation goes something like this: God created the world, but He is not involved in the operation of it. This philosophy is called deism. It accepts the existence and goodness of God but distances Him from anything that happens in the world He created.
I think many Christians often adopt a sort of deism in an attempt to get God off the hook. It allows us to affirm the goodness of God in the face of terrible evils simply by saying it's not His fault. He created a good world, and He should not be blamed if it goes wrong. But Scripture is clear that God is actively at work in the universe (Job 37).
Another way we extricate God from responsibility for disasters is to blame them all on Satan. But we know from our study of Job that Satan cannot do anything without God's permission (Job 1:8-12). If Satan has to get permission from God to do what he does, then God is still in control and reigns in human affairs. People sense His control over everything when they call natural disasters "acts of God."
So for us to say that God is not involved in these cataclysmic events is too simplistic to explain all the facts. Whether it's comfortable or not, we must discuss this issue with theological integrity. The Bible teaches us that God is sovereign—He reigns in the nice moments and in those that aren't so nice. Let's look at some of the reasons disaster exists in a world that God controls.
The Bible contains many passages refuting the idea that God set nature in motion and now lets it run as it will. These Scriptures present a hands-on God who is intimately involved in controlling and sustaining all events in the natural world. Here is a small sampling:
Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. Psalm 135:6-7
He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45
He says to the snow, "Fall on the earth"; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.... By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen. Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth. Job 37:6, 10-12
Not only does God use the elements of nature to keep the world running, He also uses them as punishment or to drive His people toward righteousness.
Early in the Bible, we find God sending a flood to destroy a sin-blackened world, sparing only righteous Noah and his family (Genesis 6–8). Later, when the Israelites were wandering in the desert, God sent judgment upon Dathan, Abiram, and Korah, who had rejected Him. The "earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up ... with all their goods" (Numbers 16:32).
God sent fire to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of their wickedness (Genesis 19:24); He sent plagues to punish Egypt (Exodus 7–12); He crafted a plague that killed seventy thousand men because of David's sin in numbering the people (2 Samuel 24:15); He sent a fierce storm to get Jonah's attention and bring him to repentance (Jonah 1:4-17).
In Amos 4, there is an extended passage describing God's dealings with the disobedience of His people. If we're ever tempted to separate God from natural disaster, this passage should stop us in our tracks. Here is Eugene Peterson's vivid paraphrase:
"You know, don't you, that I'm the One who emptied your pantries and cleaned out your cupboards, Who left you hungry and standing in bread lines? But you never got hungry for me. You continued to ignore me." God's Decree.
"Yes, and I'm the One who stopped the rains three months short of harvest. I'd make it rain on one village but not on another. I'd make it rain on one field but not on another— and that one would dry up. People would stagger from village to village crazed for water and never quenching their thirst. But you never got thirsty for me. You ignored me." God's Decree.
"I hit your crops with disease and withered your orchards and gardens. Locusts devoured your olive and fig trees, but you continued to ignore me." God's Decree.
"I revisited you with the old Egyptian plagues, killed your choice young men and prize horses. The stink of rot in your camps was so strong that you held your noses— But you didn't notice me. You continued to ignore me." God's Decree.
"I hit you with earthquake and fire, left you devastated like Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. But you never looked my way. You continued to ignore me." God's Decree.
Amos 4:6-11, The Message
When we distance God from responsibility for the calamities of the world, we are claiming more than we know. For if God is not in control of the world's disasters, then how can we depend on Him to be in control of our lives and the future? Either He is involved in all the world's operations, or He's involved in none of them.
Before we move on, it is critical that I make a distinction between God's general judgment on the sin of humankind and His supposed judgment on the sin of particular men and women. It is true to say that all God's judgment is because of sin and that He uses disasters in administering judgment. But it is not true to say that every particular disaster is His judgment of some particular sin committed by some particular person or nation.
After 9/11, some people were quick to point out that the disaster was God's judgment on our nation for our rebellion against Him. While that may have been true, how would anyone on earth know for sure?

Dr. David Jeremiah discusses nine of our greatest fears and provides biblical truths for combating them. It is safe to assume that everyone is afraid of something, and many fears are shared experiences with others. Jeremiah spends a chapter talking about each of these fears: Disaster, disease, debt, defeat, disconnection, disapproval, danger, depression, death, and deity. In addition to sharing biblical principles to combat these fears, Jeremiah shares stories of biblical figures who shared these fears and what we can learn from their stories to help us in our own experiences. This is an excellent book! I wanted to read it because I am a fan of Dr. David Jeremiah, not necessarily because I experience a lot of fear in my life. However, I got a lot out of this book. It served to reinforce my faith that there really is nothing to fear! The two chapters I enjoyed the most were the chapter on death and depression. Death is one of those universal things everyone experiences, but remains unknown. I love the way he put in mathematically – if you are born once, you will die twice and if you are born twice, you will die once. I could chew over that all day long! In the chapter on depression, I liked the way Jeremiah offered concrete advice on steps to take when readers are feeling down. I also appreciated the story he shared about the psychiatrist giving a talk on mental illness and responding to a question about what we should do if we are heading toward depression. Surprisingly, the psychiatrist didn't say, "Take a pill", he said, "Get out and do something for someone else." This is not to mean there isn't a place for medication treatment in depression, but that we do not have to be passive when feeling down. Really excellent advice! This isn't a quick reading book. It took me three days to complete it because there is a lot of information and ideas to dwell upon, and this is one that I will definitely hold on to because I will want to read it again in the future. It would be a great addition to anyone's personal library. Overall, I think this book has a lot of appeal for a lot of different people. If you are plagued by fears, this book puts them in perspective. If you, like me, aren't plagued by fears, it offers reminders of why there is no reason to be afraid. After all, if God is for us, who shall stand against us? I received a complimentary copy of the book from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
In the busy-ness of life it is often easy to forget the One who is in control and succumb to the pressure and pulls of life. We are constantly anxious, intimidated and fearful which prevents many Christians from living the life God called them to live. Everyone is afraid of something: failure, success, loneliness, crowds, death, and life; the list is endless. And no one is immune to fear. Fear haunts the weak and the powerful, the young and the old, the rich and the poor. It is the great equalizer. Well, fear not! There is hope. In What Are You Afraid Of? Dr. David Jeremiah identifies and explains what is at the heart of nine of our greatest fears and lays out a biblical plan for overcoming each one of them. He also examines one particular fear that should be part of our daily lives: the fear of God. Dr Jeremiah's book is targeted toward young and old adults who are dealing or have dealt with fear and want to overcome its strong grip on their lives. With most fears in teenagers being terrorist attacks, spiders, death/being killed, not succeeding in life/failing, war, heights, crime/violence, being alone, the future, and nuclear war, Jeremiah stresses fear is usually future-based and that we should focus on God instead of our fears. Dr Jeremiah breaks fear into ten sections: In a unique arrangement of thought, all the "fears" begin with the letter "D": Disaster: the Fear of Natural Calamity Disease: the Fear of Serious Illness Debt: the Fear of Financial Collapse Defeat: the Fear of Failure Disconnection: the Fear of Being Alone Disapproval: the Fear of Rejection Danger: the Fear of Sudden Trouble Depression: the Fear of Mental Breakdown Death: the Fear of Dying Deity: the Fear of God I recommend this book it is easy to read and informative and would be a great study. Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for my review.
Life is filled with fears. Dr. David Jeremiah takes a look at these fears as well as providing strong Biblical teaching on how to overcome these fears. There are 10 types of fear that are discussed. These fears are: disaster, disease, debt, defeat, loneliness, disapproval, danger, depression, death, and God. These are things that everyone deals with in themselves or in other people that touch our lives. The hope and practical wisdom provided is motivating. I know this book will be a great reference tool to be used throughout my life. Working with people on a daily basis will put these principles into practice. I look forward to sharing this wisdom with the people in my life. My heartfelt thanks to Netgalley and Tyndale House Publishers for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book
I love this book so wonderful has something for every thing we face and fear. God doesn't want us to live in fear even with everything around us this book shows how and inspires peace in the storm
We all are afraid of something in life...probably more than one but this book gives the Biblical point of view to help alleviate fears. It is definitely worth reading.
You people should just read this novel yourselves and write your own review on this novel. I really enjoyed reading this novel very much. ShelleyMA
This is an amazing book that should be read and discussed in every church adult Sunday School regardless of the denomination. The author says we shouldn't discuss our plans without checking the Bible first. We need to read and obey without deviating. God won't leave or forsake us and God can make us successful and prosperous. Many people have a fear of being alone, unloved, isolated, with only TV, computer, or phone for companionship. Isolation, fear of being phone-less, and lack of relationships can kill mind and spirit. Many Biblical characters suffered from loneliness: Noah, Hagar, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Paul, and even Jesus. Disapproval, fear of rejection, and fear of man causes some like Marlene Dietrich to have numerous affairs and play for applause. King Saul lost his throne by shifting from fear of God to fear of man. Peter denied Jesus three times because of fear. When we are filled with ourselves, fail to pray, depend on our own energy, follow Jesus from a distance, and find fellowship in the wrong places, we can fail like Peter. We can stop the fear of others with faith and love for Him. When Peter and John were in jail, Peter jumped at the opportunity to preach. When storms come, we can, like Peter, cry to Him for help. Our faith drives out fear. However, we need to hold God in awe, fear his power, holiness, and judgment. We should live with openness, love God and seek Jesus to avoid depression which can quench our spirit. Depression is like cancer, but many great men of faith like Moses, Elijah, Martin Luther, John Knot, and Paul Bunyan suffered from it. All this and so much more is contained in this book. I can't encourage you enough to read this book ASAP. I can guarantee it won't disappoint you!
"[T]he only thing we have to fear is fear itself..." This famous quote by President Franklin Roosevelt resonates with so many because fear can grip and latch and never let go. Fear is paralyzing and through its immobilizing affect it consumes the mind, the body, and sometimes the spirit. Why is this so? Is there anything that can be done about it? (See Dr. Jeremiah talk about his book) In his book, Dr. Jeremiah address ten fears from which many have suffered. They are: 1. Disaster 2. Disease 3. Debt 4. Defeat 5. Disconnection (Loneliness) 6. Disapproval 7. Danger 8. Depression 9. Death 10. Deity (Fear of God) With each fear, Dr. Jeremiah uses the Bible to show that God is in control and to rest in the peace He offers. Dr. Jeremiah does not deny that fear is crippling but he offers the hope that God is able to carry, and empower, one through any fear that may arise.Dr. Jeremiah also gives examples from Scripture of those that have suffered from one fear or another and how God intervened to show His power through their weakness. This is a great book for anyone as fear is not selective. Having a resource like this could give comfort to those presently caught in the mire of fear.
What Are You Afraid Of? is a good read. The author discusses different fears people have in each chapter and accompanies them with modern stories and scripture. These fears include: Disaster, Disease, Debt, Defeat, Disconnection, Disapproval, Danger, Depression, Death and Deity. The chapters with Disconnection, Depression and Death were more interesting to me than the others. Disconnection discusses about not personally connecting with people and constantly connecting through online activities. I have had to cope with Depression, so that one was personal to me. And Death was comforting for me to read. I think this book is a definitely worth a read. 4 stars.
Loneliness, failure, and depression are part of the ten causes of fear discussed by the author. He offers solutions to clear our paths of pride and ego with the alternatives of faith and fearlessness. I've listened to the author and plan to read more of his books.
Facing your Fears! Dr. Jeremiah brings to light some of the most common fears people have and uses verses from the Bible to help people learn how to overcome them. He also uses real life stories to show some of the fears that other people have had and overcome. This book would be an excellent resource for anyone who lives in fear and wants help on learning how to overcome it.
Intelligent and Insightful as Well as Inspiring. This book makes so much sense, with so many good references, that I plan to read it again, knowing I'll get even more out of it. These are valuable insights, and they will take some time to sink in. I respect many of the authors quoted, like Joni Eareckson Tada, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others. There are also many relevant Scriptures. If you need to be comforted and encouraged, this is worth reading.
So many people deal with fear every day. Worrying over loved ones, stressing about money issues, jobs, or sicknesses. These fears hold us back and cause us to miss opportunities and blessings. The ten fears most people experience some time or another in life are dealt with in this book: DISASTER, DISEASE, DEBT, DEFEAT, DISCONNECTION, DISAPPROVAL, DANGER, DEPRESSION, DEATH, and DIETY. David Jeremiah (who is one of the most remarkable TV evangelists ever—in my opinion) reveals common fears and how we can conquer them. Using biblical teachings and powerful examples, Dr. Jeremiah guides the reader into not only conquering fears, but also growing a deeper understanding and appreciation of how God loves us and is ultimately in control.
Absolutely LOVED this short story! Can't wait to read more from this author.
I'm sorry. I can't 'cause its pretty long. Just type in 'stupid cat' and tap the 'see in shop' button. It doesn't say it there, but just tap the bar.
Have not finished this one yet but it does keep one interested.
Recommend this book.
Can you tell me about my story at spangled result 1
By the way, did you get the wendigos from grimm?
Pretty good. Not to many grammar mistakes or spelling mishaps. I'd be a bit more original on the character naming though.

Among the early North American explorers in the Rogers Pass, Yoho and Banff regions of western Canada were members of the Vaux family of Philadelphia. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, George Vaux Jr. (1863–1927), William S. Vaux (1872–1908) and Mary M. Vaux (1880–1940) regularly visited the majestic peaks, studying the massive glacier formations and creating a brilliant photographic record that features some of the earliest images of glaciers in the mountains of western Canada.
Beginning in 1997, Henry Vaux Jr. has been taking duplicate photographs of the glaciers his grandfather and great aunt and uncle captured on glass plates a century before. Standing in exactly the same locations with his own tripod and camera, Henry Vaux Jr. has documented a century of change and created an extraordinary artistic and historical document that will inspire many and tell a story that was three generations in the making.
This project serves as a remarkable collection of "before and after" photographs of glacier formations in the Canadian Alps, dramatically capturing the impact of climate change on this profoundly important and iconic landscape.
