“The Hiding Place” by Corrie ten Boom: A Lesson in Forgiveness and Matthew 18:21-35
Greetings, dear members of Redeemer of Interlochen!
As we have set up (or really reset) our Library at Redeemer I will be writing you periodically to share books that for me have been “Chisel Books,” that is to say books that have shaped me over the course of my life. I hope to display them in the Narthex for you to take a look at on Sunday and invite you to read the book if you haven’t yet. Today, we delve into a profound tale of faith, forgiveness, and the enduring power of love. We will connect it to our Gospel reading this Sunday, Matthew 18:21-35, which emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in our lives.
A Glimpse into “The Hiding Place”
In my journey through literature and faith, I stumbled upon Corrie ten Boom’s remarkable book, “The Hiding Place.” This autobiographical account takes us back to the darkest days of World War II, where Corrie and her family risked their lives to shelter Jewish refugees from the Naxis in their home. As we read Corrie’s story, we witness the extraordinary strength of her faith. She and her family, devout Christians, believe that helping those in need is a Christian duty. They live out their faith by opening their hearts and doors to strangers in dire need. Through their courageous actions, we are reminded of the biblical commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Matthew 18:21-35: The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
In the heart of Corrie’s story, we find a powerful connection to Matthew 18:21-35. In this passage, Jesus tells the parable of the unmerciful servant. The story centers on a servant who owed a massive
debt to his king, an amount so immense it could never be repaid. When the servant pleads for mercy, the king forgives his debt completely. However, when this same servant encounters a fellow servant who owes him a much smaller debt, he refuses to show the same mercy and has his debtor thrown into prison.
The connection between Corrie’s narrative and this parable is clear: forgiveness. Just as the unmerciful servant failed to forgive a smaller debt, we see examples of unforgiveness in Corrie’s story, especially in the context of her experiences in a concentration camp.
Corrie’s Struggle with Forgiveness
While Corrie and her family exhibited extraordinary courage in sheltering Jews from persecution, they eventually fell into the hands of the Nazis. Corrie and her sister, Betsie, were sent to a concentration camp, where they endured unimaginable suffering. In the midst of this agony, Corrie found it incredibly difficult to forgive her tormentors, especially a particularly cruel and sadistic guard.
Yet, through her sister Betsie’s unwavering faith and Christ-like love, Corrie was reminded of the importance of forgiveness. Betsie, despite the harsh conditions, urged Corrie to pray for their enemies, including the brutal guard. Eventually, Corrie found the strength to forgive, even in the most trying circumstances.
The Power of Forgiveness
Corrie’s journey from bitterness to forgiveness highlights the transformative power of forgiveness, as emphasized in Matthew 18:21-35. Just as the king in the parable forgave the unmerciful servant’s insurmountable debt, Corrie’s willingness to forgive her oppressors allowed her to find peace and healing, even in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
As members of Redeemer Lutheran, we are called to reflect on the lessons from Corrie ten Boom’s life and the teachings of Matthew 18:21-35. We all know that forgiveness is not easy, but it is the foundation of faith. Through forgiveness, we not only honor God’s grace but also find freedom from the burdens of anger and resentment.
“The Hiding Place” is not merely a story of survival but a testament to the enduring power of faith, love, and forgiveness. Corrie ten Boom’s remarkable journey is a vivid illustration of the teachings of Matthew 18:21-35. Let us be inspired by her example and strive to embrace forgiveness in our own lives, following the path of Christ’s love.
May God’s grace continue to shine upon our congregation, and may we, like Corrie and her family, be a source of light and love in our community.
Peace in Christ,
Redeemer Lutheran Church, Interlochen, Michigan

No Need To Swallow Annoying Tablets Anymore!
Looking to pack up to 15 pounds of lean mass in only one cycle? How about experiencing strength in the gym never thought possible? Decavol Liquid can provide anyone these tremendous benefits without being toxic to the liver.
Decavol Liquid is micronized which will result in quicker liquid blood plasma absorption and 98% stronger results then with capsules.
Combining DHEA and cyclodextrin, Decavol Liquid is the strongest as well as safest liquid lean mass building supplement on the market!
Why take a liquid compared to a capsule?
For one, it’ll reach the anabolic location quicker in the form of a liquid then a capsule.
Another benefit of the liquid is that the liver and other organs won't be as stressed. With Decavol Liquid, the body won't have to fight hard to break down a capsule.
In a nanocarrirrier, Decavol Liquid contains 20 mg per 1 ml of 1-Androsterone. It prolongs residence in the bloodstream, enhancing intercellular penetration until it reaches the desired location in the body.
1-Androsterone is fully dissolved with the 20 mg of liposomal solution, so the full dose can be delivered in one hour! To accomplish the same effect with capsules, it would take a lot more than 20 mg worth of pills.
Decavol Liquid helps deliver 1-Andro hormone liquid to the important skeletal muscles and converts it to testosterone. This conversion will result in strength and lean mass gains.
Also in 1-Andro Liquid are BCAA’s. BCAA’s are important especially in weight training because while dieting will make an athlete cut up, BCAA’s will protect the muscles from any catabolic effects caused by dieting.
Decavol Liquid helps deliver 1-androsterone via a great two way process. Enzymes then convert the 1-androsterone to testosterone, which will help build lean mass and increase strength gains!

A smile hides our true emotions
Depression is a serious illness that affects millions of people and that’s why there’s so much help out there. Accepting your mental health is the first stage and was the hardest part for me. For those of you who are fellow sufferers you may be in a dark, scary place at the moment but I assure you that what your feeling is not abnormal. It might not feel like it but all the symptoms such as low self-esteem, panic and anxiety, extreme changes in your emotional state and generally feeling like crap! They’re all part of the illness and like any major illness it needs treating. You deserve the help, please ask for it! You’ll be amazed how much having someone to talk to will be of benefit. Unlike the picture above you no longer need to hide behind your smile. I was extremely pessimistic about going to see a counsellor but now I can see, it quite literally saved my life. It took me a long time to open up but counsellors are used to this and will be patient and empathic towards you. Once I did begin to unload all my bottled up emotions and talk about my mental health I felt a huge sense of relief.
Many people make the presumption that if your depressed you’re bound to fall into a certain category. Maybe your alone and isolated with no family or friends to turn to. Maybe you’ve experienced a life changing traumatic event. You might be financially unstable, facing bankruptcy, the bills are mounting up and you cant see an easy way out. You have no outgoings, no reason to get up in a morning, nothing to be proud of and no purpose in life. A disability might be preventing you from living the life you want to lead. Or you might just be one of those people whose glass is always half empty, you some how manage to find the negative side of every given situation and have a miserable outlook on life!
What if none of these things apply to you. I can honestly say I have the best bunch of friends in the world and I’ve been brought up in a loving family, which are still to this day amazingly supportive of me. I have numerous hobbies and interests and I enjoy many aspects of life. I’d like to think of myself as cheerful and my friends would tell you that I’m good company most of the time. So bearing all this in mind, do I still have the right to be depressed? Should I feel guilty for feeling the way I do, when I have such fantastic support all around me? Well the truth is I did feel extremely guilty and at times even disgusted with myself. Useless and inadequate are also words that spring to mind and I certainly felt undeserving of any help with my mental health. As well as being confused and frustrated by the way I was feeling I remember also feeling an unbearable shame. On the news I’d see children being born into poverty or war zones and it would remind me how lucky I was. I kept going back to the same question of what right or reason did I have to be depressed?
Mental Health Acceptance
Accepting my mental health has been extremely difficult for me and I’m not certain I’ve even got there yet. The fact that its such a difficult illness to fully understand makes it even harder to live with. But it is an illness and a serious one at that, weather you believe yourself worthy of it or not. If you’ve got it that’s completely out of your control. As much as you put yourself down, you do need the help and more to the point your entitled to it. If your like me and you have good friends then ask yourself why? maybe it’s because you to are a good friend to them too. If you have a supportive family the reason could be due to you being equally supportive of them. Its time to start looking after yourself. I had visited the doctors twice in five years and one of those time was for some holiday vaccinations! It took me some time to come to terms with the idea of having a fortnightly slot but I finally accepted that having spent most of my life caring for others and putting there needs first it was now my time to get a little help.

Various commercial glasses are strengthened via ion exchange at their surface, wherein small alkali ions from the glass are replaced by larger ones from a surrounding molten salt bath, thereby inducing the formation of a compressive stress layer. However, the level of stress induced by ion exchange is typically significantly lower than its theoretical limit (so-called network dilation anomaly). Here, based on molecular dynamics simulations of sodium aluminosilicate glasses, we assess the influence of network connectivity on stress development upon ion exchange. We show that, similarly to thermal expansion, the propensity for ion exchange-induced expansion is controlled by the connectivity of the network. This suggests that tuning the network connectivity may lead to the development of higher compressive stress upon ion exchange and, thereby, to stronger glasses.

Pop star Gareth Gates has married his long-term girlfriend Suzanne Mole in a secret ceremony.
Bradford-born Gates, 24, who has been with dancer Suzanne for five years, proposed on New Years Eve. A spokesman for the Pop Idol star confirmed the couple tied the knot yesterday.
Gates met Suzanne, who is from Newcastle, at the Record of the Year awards in 2002, and the first rumours of marriage surfaced two years later.
His speech therapist, who helped the star beat his stammer, was said to have been chosen as his best man.
Gareth Gates and Suzanne Mole have tied the knot
When asked about marriage in April last year, Gareth said: 'The way I have been brought up, that's what it's about for me.
'It doesn't suit everybody, but for me life is about marriage, lots of children, a massive house.
'If that's what my life is like, I will be happy.'
Gareth and Suzanne's relationship was on the rocks at one stage when glamour model Jordan bragged in her autobiography that she had taken the pop star's virginity.
After initially denying their three-month affair, Gates confessed.
Gates shot to fame as a stammering teenager in the 2002 series of Pop Idol, when he finished runner-up to Will Young.
He went on to bag four number ones and sell 3.5million records worldwide.
However, in 2006 his career took a severe hit when he was dropped by his record company Sony BMG.
His attempts at a comeback haven't exactly fared well and his last album, Pictures Of The Other Side, limped in at a lowly No23 in the charts.
The newly-weds live together in a three-bedroom apartment in south-west London.

Surprisingly there were not that many individuals using the library this evening, but I still received quite a few questions. I performed quite a few guest log-ins, directed people toward the bathroom, helped with printing/copying issues, and demonstrated how to use the microfilm reader. Once again I had a patron complain to me that the new log-in system was locking her out because it said she was still logged in. Otherwise there were not any issues to report.

New York Stock Exchange
will propose creating its own electronic trading system, NYSE Chairman Richard Grasso said on Friday.
The move could put the exchange in a position to compete with after-hours trading systems. The alternative systems have gained popularity with investors for offering quick access to prices and with stockbrokers for offering low execution fees, allowing them to pocket a greater portion of their commissions.
The exchange's proposed system would dispense on the Internet to brokerage customers information previously available only on the floor of the exchange and allow member firms to execute electronically trades of 1,000 shares or fewer.
"Among the benefits to retail investors will be fast, low-cost, reliable executions, access to enhanced information, and extended-hours trading in NYSE stocks with NYSE safeguards," Grasso said in a speech to the
Securities Industry Association
in Boca Raton, Fla., according to a release from the NYSE.
The proposed changes would not allow investors to send orders directly to the floor.
And the changes themselves still face hurdles. Grasso did not specify price changes, a key factor in making the new system appealing to brokers.
Grasso's remarks do not signify a decision to adopt after-hours trading, an NYSE spokesman said.
"In the event that the final determination is to go to after hours, it gives us a platform," said Richard Adamonis, spokesman for the exchange.
If filed, the proposal would require the approval of the
Securities and Exchange Commission
. The exchange said it would file a request to change its rules by the end of the year. An SEC spokesman declined to comment until the agency receives a proposal.
A spokesman for
, an after-hours trading system, said his organization was still studying the remarks. Bernie Madoff, of
, said he wouldn't consider the system Grasso described a competitor because his system executes orders of 5,000 shares or fewer. The after-hours systems do not deal in Big Board stocks.
SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt spoke at the same gathering Thursday, urging competition among markets and transparency of pricing.

Editor’s note: This is the first of two articles on results of a study commissioned by Barton Community College to define the value of the college in various areas. Today’s story will explain the study and the benefits provided from taxpayers’ and students’ perspective. The second article will continue with highlights from the perspective of businesses, and with the college’s overall investment to society. Content was provided by BCC.
Special to the Tribune
Barton Community College is one of the area’s largest employers. It’s a progressive, comprehensive community college with offerings ranging from art and traditional associate degree options to more than 25 industry-specific training programs like nursing, natural gas measurement and more. The college’s activities bring in money to the area, stimulate the local economy and it is a driving force behind reducing crime rates and improving quality of life.
While some of these claims are self-evident, it can be difficult to assign any quantitative value to the benefits provided to the local communities. In an effort to provide some context on the college’s value, the Barton Board of Trustees commissioned a study by Economic Modeling Specialists Inc., a company that specializes in providing such data for colleges.
The EMSI study sources include the 2012-13 academic and financial reports from the college, industry and employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, earning and demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau and a variety of studies and surveys relating education to social behavior. The Barton Service Area includes Barton, Rice, Rush, Stafford, Ellsworth, Russell and Pawnee counties.
The study was broken into four primary pieces that look at the college’s value from the perspectives of students, taxpayers and businesses, with the last report examining social benefits.
Board of Trustees Chair Mike Johnson said he was pleased to see the numbers represent what he believed about the college all along.
“The importance of Barton, not only to Barton County, but the entire central Kansas area, cannot be underestimated,” he said. “The institution is an integral part of this area’s educational, recreational and economic development activities.”
The following are highlights from the study results. Complete details can be found at economicstudy.bartonccc.edu.
Taxpayers in Barton County and across the state paid $17.9 million to support Barton’s operations, but the study shows that for every $1, taxpayers see a cumulative return of $2 over the course of students’ working lives. This comes in the form of higher tax receipts and public sector savings.
For example, educated individuals are less likely to have poor health habits, commit crimes or claim welfare or unemployment benefits. The improved lifestyles of these students, according to the study, will result in $3.8 million in savings to government programs over the students’ working careers.
This translates to an annual rate of return on taxpayer investment of 5 percent, which is considered favorable compared to the 1.1 percent discount rate used by the federal government to appraise long term investments.
In addition, almost 90 percent of Barton students remain in Kansas after finishing their educations.
Of the four beneficiaries examined in the study, students arguably have the most direct and substantial benefit from Barton’s operations. Barton served 16,240 credit students and 332 non-credit students in 2012-13.
The cumulative cost to attend college for Barton students was $10.1 million in tuition, fees and books in 2012-13. The opportunity cost, namely foregone time and earnings they could have made working instead, was estimated to be about $33.6 million. The return on that investment is an impressive 14.3 percent, which comes in the form of higher wages throughout students’ working lives. For every $1 invested, students see a $3.50 return.
Associate’s degree completers earn about $1,311,500 over the course of a working lifetime in the Barton service area, which is $313,900 more than someone with only a high school diploma. At a career midpoint, a Barton graduate would earn about $7,300 more annually than someone without a higher education degree. Those who transfer and continue their educations will continue to see significant benefits at each education level.

Mastering the Basics of Artificial Intelligence Trading Development
Artificial intelligence trading development is one of the most exciting fields in the financial markets. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we trade and invest, allowing us to make more informed decisions and better manage our risk. But with the potential for great rewards, there is also great risk. It is essential that traders and investors understand the basics of AI trading development before they begin to use it in their trading strategies.
What is Artificial Intelligence Trading Development?
Artificial intelligence trading development is the use of computer algorithms and software to analyze financial markets and make trading decisions. Artificial intelligence algorithms are designed to identify patterns in the market, identify trends, and make predictions about future price movements. These algorithms are then used to generate trading signals and execute trades on behalf of the trader or investor. This technology has been used by professional traders and investors for decades, but with the recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, it is now available to the general public.
Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Trading Development
The primary benefit of artificial intelligence trading development is its ability to quickly process large amounts of data and identify patterns and trends in the market. This allows traders and investors to make more informed decisions and better manage their risk. AI trading development also reduces the amount of time that traders and investors need to spend analyzing the market, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their trading strategies.
Another benefit of AI trading development is its ability to automate certain aspects of the trading process. This can help traders and investors reduce their costs and ensure that they are making the most efficient use of their capital. AI trading development can also help traders and investors identify and take advantage of opportunities in the market that they may not have been able to identify on their own.
Risks of Artificial Intelligence Trading Development
Although artificial intelligence trading development can provide many benefits, it also carries certain risks. One of the primary risks is the potential for algorithmic errors. AI algorithms are designed to identify patterns in the market, but they can sometimes make mistakes. This can lead to incorrect trading decisions, which can result in losses for the trader or investor.
Another risk is the potential for AI algorithms to be manipulated by malicious actors. If an AI algorithm is not properly protected, malicious actors can potentially manipulate the algorithm to generate incorrect trading signals and cause losses for the trader or investor. It is important to ensure that AI algorithms are properly protected and monitored to reduce the risk of manipulation.
Artificial intelligence trading development is a powerful tool that can help traders and investors make more informed decisions and better manage their risk. However, it is important to understand the risks and potential pitfalls associated with AI trading development before using it in a trading strategy. By understanding the basics of AI trading development, traders and investors can make more informed decisions and better manage their risk.

October 17th we started our been project.
We took 3 pinto beans:
1 Ziploc baggie
1 wet paper towel
We put the wet paper towel into the Ziploc baggie and placed the beans on top of it. Every day we open up the bag to allow fresh oxygen to enter the bag and we set it near the window for sunlight.
Today we have a bean that has completely lost its shell and has a little leaf popping out of it. The other two are working on getting that bean shell to shed off.
This has been a very fun and exciting project for my 6 and 7 year old to participate in. They are excited to see how much they have grown each day! It is great that in home school you can make EVERY thing a fun experience!
Have you tried this in your home class? How well was your experience?

Creating with cast offs
Well as many of you know, my husband became interested in Kumihimo braiding last spring. That then lead to him an interest in stones. He started out buying polished stone donuts for pendants on braided cord necklaces. Oh my! that inspired a passion for stone jewelry making. Ah well, more in ordering stones to use in jewelry making. LOL. Though he has finished many donut necklaces and two lovely entirely stone bead necklaces. At any rate that is the back story to the cast offs. He got some diamond shape Rhodonite beads - then decided he did not like pink - and passed that strand along to me.
Well, hmmm, wouldn't you know, herself had two pink and gray felt wrist cuffs cut out with plans to sew and bead them -- but just could not get a bead plan to suit herself. Two days of looking at the Rhodonite beads and viola an idea emerged, now a week later, not one, but two Stone and glass bead on Wool felt cuffs have emerged. Yipee! Got the gray and pink felt out of the WIP pile and the cast off stones found a warm home.
I do not think I'd have purchased the stones on my own, but am so pleased to have acquired them and really enjoyed creating with them.

When I was a child, our family moved from Charlottetown to the cottage along the river in Dunstaffnage, PEI for the whole summer. I have such great memories and still feel very nostalgic when visiting the old site even though we only picnic there now.
Whenever I eat cherries, I think of the two cherry trees in front of our cottage. We would go late in the spring down the mile long lane and be greeted in the clearing by cherry blossoms. Then later in the summer, the cherries were picked and eaten mostly by us kids. Cherry pie has always been my favourite. Sadly the trees succumbed to a disease and had to be cut down.
Imagine my delight to taste a cherry flavoured tea, now one of the best selling green teas that I have on the shelf at the Farmers Market. Organic Sencha Cherry tea takes me back to my childhood.
[caption id="attachment_1193" align="aligncenter" width="650"] two young cherry trees[/caption]
Sencha tea is a Japanese style green tea known for its fresh, smooth taste. The blossoming of the cherry tree is quite an event in Japan, and is known as 'the spirit of the season.’ The Camellia Sinensis leaf used to make my Sencha Cherry tea grows 4500 feet above sea level in the Hunan Province of China, and is picked between mid March and mid April. Hunan Province produces some excellent Japanese style green teas. The added natural cherry flavouring and rose petals make it even more scrumptious. To enhance the sweetness I add Prince Edward Island rose petals for that final touch!
Sencha Cherry is high in antioxidants and low in caffeine. It is the perfect springtime tea—refreshing both hot and cold. Make yourself a cup of Sencha Cherry tea, and join me on the cottage shore of the Hillsborough River, where China and PEI meet beneath the sweetly perfumed canopy of blossoming cherry trees.
Want to taste our Sencha Cherry? We’re at the market on Saturdays (and Wednesdays starting June 18), or you can order it online here.

“Earnings growth may well pick up over the coming months, but the increase seems likely to be gradual as companies look to contain their costs in a still very competitive environment and still appreciable labour market slack limits workers’ ability to push for higher pay.
CHRIS WILLIAMSON | MARKIT
“The labour market looks set to improve further as we move towards the end of the year, perhaps at a pace that might continue to surprise policymakers. Surveys of recruitment agencies indicate that demand for staff appears to be surging as the economy gains faster than expected momentum.
NIDA ALI EY | ITEM CLUB
“In our view, unemployment has peaked and should continue drifting down in the coming months. Having said that, with companies likely to have hoarded labour during the recession, we expect some payback in the form of weak private sector job creation and progress is likely to be slow.

BANFF — Two grizzly bear cubs have been killed in a collision with a train in Banff National Park.
The one-year-old bears died but their mother was not hurt in the Friday collision with the Canadian Pacific Rail freight, about 10 kilometres west of the Banff townsite.
Steve Michel, a wildlife specialist with the park, says the rail company informed the park about the collision on Friday night.
Michel says officials knew a female grizzly with two yearlings had been in the area before the accident.
The deaths bring to 13 the number of grizzlies that have been killed by trains in the park since 2000.
A five-year research project with CP Rail to prevent collisions involving trains and bears was launched last year.

Release Date: January 21st 2021
Publisher: Orbit Books
Find it on: Goodreads. BookDepository. Waterstones.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Fortune favors the bold. Magic favors the liars.
Ren is a con artist who has come to the sparkling city of Nadežra with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house, securing her fortune and her sister’s future.
But as she’s drawn into the elite world of House Traementis, she realizes her masquerade is just one of many surrounding her. And as nightmare magic begins to weave its way through the City of Dreams, the poisonous feuds of its aristocrats and the shadowy dangers of its impoverished underbelly become tangled…with Ren at their heart.
The Mask of Mirrors is the unmissable start to the Rook & Rose trilogy, a dazzling and darkly magical fantasy adventure by Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, writing together as M. A. Carrick
The Mask of Mirrors is the first in an all new adult fantasy trilogy from authors Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms. The story follows Ren, a street rat and con artist who is attempting to scheme her way into one of the noble families of Nadezra. As she becomes drawn into the world of House Traementis she becomes ensnared in a web of secrets and nightmare magic.
As soon as I read the synopsis I knew this was going to be my perfect kind of book. I loved everything about this story. The Venetian style setting was beautifully described and the world building is incredibly detailed. It took me a little while to get to grips with everything in this world but I was completely captivated by it. The story is quite a slow paced one and it gives the reader plenty of time to get to know the world and the characters. I really liked the magic system in this story too and I’m so intrigued to learn more in the next instalment.
Carrick created some really fascinating characters and I loved Ren, she’s clever and stubborn – doing whatever she can to make her schemes work. I also liked her sister Tess who moonlights as her handmaid and it was so fascinating to have the emphasis on clothes and fashion as Tess attempted to make Ren look like one of the nobility. I also really liked Grey as a character and I cannot wait to see where Carrick takes the characters next. I absolutely love heist/con stories and this is an incredibly well executed one – despite it being nearly seven hundred pages it was such an easy read and I raced through the last two hundred pages in one go.
Mask of Mirrors is an impressive start to a new fantasy series. With a compelling plot and impeccable world building, this is an absolute must read for fantasy fans.
One thought on “Blog Tour: The Mask of Mirrors – M A Carrick”
I’m so excited to read this book! Your review has me even more convinced that I’m going to love it. 😀 Ren sounds like the perfect character for me!

Georgia fans searching for optimism after the gloom of 2010 should look -- as Alabama once did -- to a campus in the small town of Perkinston, Miss.
UGA signee John Jenkins attended the same junior college as former Alabama All-American nose tackle Terrence Cody.
Yes, there is recent precedent to Georgia’s inconsistency in the first season of Todd Grantham’s 3-4 defense, both in how it transpired and how it was ultimately addressed through the junior college ranks.
Steve Campbell, head coach at Gulf Coast (Miss.) Community College, recalls big John Jenkins, who signed weeks ago with Georgia, and sees traces of another nose tackle he recently sent to the SEC – and later the NFL: Alabama's Terrence Cody, an eventual second-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens.
“I’d say John is a real similar football player,” Campbell said. “I think he’ll be the same kind of impact player at Georgia that T.C. was at Alabama.”
Those are strong words, considering the addition of “Mount Cody” was one of the key pieces that led the Crimson Tide to a 12-0 regular season in 2008 and an SEC and BCS championship the following year.
But they makes sense. A generally accepted rule of 3-4 defenses is that it is essential to be strong up the middle. At nose tackle, you want a special player, one formidable enough to hold the point and withstand double and triple teams, thus freeing up teammates to make plays. That player doesn’t have to be massive in size, but it definitely helps, so long as he remains mobile enough.
Cody played near 350-360 pounds while at Alabama. Jenkins is projected to be around 340 pounds or more during his upcoming career at Georgia.
“John is quicker, a little more mobile than Terrence,” Campbell said. “Terrence may be just a tad – just a tad – stronger. I’d say what Terrence had in weight, John makes up for with his added mobility.”
And really, size is just the beginning of the similarities in the two situations.
Alabama was 26-2 during Terrence Cody's two seasons with the team.
Alabama coach Nick Saban still considers Grantham one of his favorite all-time assistants, courtesy of a short time together in the 1990s at Michigan State. After Mark Richt failed to land Saban’s defensive coordinator Kirby Smart after the 2009 season, he turned to Grantham, who brought a 3-4 defense not far removed from what Saban uses.
For the past three seasons, Alabama has finished among the top five in the country in total defense. But it wasn’t always that way.
While Georgia allowed 147.23 rushing yards per game last season. Alabama was at 141.15 in 2007, Saban’s first season back in college. With that new 3-4 defense, Alabama was forced to use Lorenzo Washington (an Atlanta-area native) after converted offensive lineman Brian Motley broke his ankle in practice.
Washington, at less than 300 pounds, was probably better suited to play end, but he gritted it out at nose while his overall defense struggled, especially late in games and late in the season.
Insert the name DeAngelo Tyson for Washington and Justin Anderson for Motley and you could basically say the same for Georgia in 2010.
In its predicament, Alabama went outside the box and signed Cody, who wasn’t getting much attention from major colleges. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as too big for football, and Cody was it.
He was labeled as a project because his weight hovered around 400 pounds. But Cody worked to get down to 365 pounds by the time he arrived in Tuscaloosa. Saban did not hesitate to move Washington to end (as the Bulldogs have now done with Tyson) and immediately start Cody, who was named SEC defensive lineman of the week after his first game, a 24-point upset of Clemson.
Cody was good for first and second down work. The same will likely be expected of Jenkins. The Bulldogs' Kwame Geathers and Mike Thornton each said they've been working in nickel packages this spring. It could be anyone in that role. During Cody's first season, Saban sought a quicker, younger player as a third-down nose tackle. His first choice in 2008 was eventual star end Marcell Dareus.
But with Cody primarily anchoring the middle, Alabama finished second in the nation in rushing defense (74.14 ypg in 2008 and 78.14 in 2009) two consecutive years. The Tide didn’t allow an opposing player to reach 100 rushing yards the entire time. Without Cody in 2010, the Tide’s rushing yards allowed per game jumped back to 110.15 yards.
In UGA’s case, it’s easy to assume too much about Jenkins, who isn’t on campus yet. Despite the obvious points from which to compare, Jenkins is also a different player than Cody, of course.
But that’s not necessarily bad for the Dogs. Actually, Jenkins’ upside is considered higher in football circles.
Campbell once had to call around to notify schools about Cody. No such effort needed to be made with Jenkins, who was a good enough athlete to carry the football in high school and actually believed basketball was his best sport at one point.
“I mean, everybody in the country wanted John,” Campbell said. “The kid is a heck of an athlete. He’s got mobility. He can move for a big guy. … TC will shock you because he can dunk a basketball and those kinds of things for a big guy. But John has got some really extended mobility, not just in the box. He can move up and down the line and run around pretty good. In high school, they used him as a running back. Not in jumbo situations. He was a full-time running back. He ran the ball not once or twice a game.
“He was legitimate running back at probably 320 or 330 (pounds).”
Campbell remembers the rock-star buzz in Tuscaloosa around "Mount Cody," who became an All-American and a finalist for national defensive player of the year awards, and expects much the same -- at least on the field -- once Jenkins gets to Athens this fall.
“Guys like that, you know it immediately,” Campbell said. “The first time we saw T.C., we knew it. It’s the same thing with big John.”

BARTCON Racing, which fields teams in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup and Liqui Moli Junior Cup series, staged a series of fundraisers at the PittRace round, raising approximately $2,000 for the Wounded Warriors charity.
“A lot of people came to our paddock and said how great it was to see the motorcycle team supporting the Wounded Warrior project,” team owner Colin Barton, a construction company owner and former racer, told Roadracing World.
BARTCON Racing set up a separate tent for the sales of T-shirts to raise money for the charity and to collect donations, Barton said. Combined, the two brought in about $1,000, and Barton matched that out of his own pocket.
In addition to the display, Barton had his convertible Ford Mustang, decorated in team and Wounded Warrior livery, on display at the event, which was chosen around the concerns related to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
“Because we’re a New York-based team, our home race would be New Jersey Motorsports Park,” Barton said. “But it wasn’t clear when we contacted MotoAmerica whether there would be fans at New Jersey. It looks like there will be, so we’ll be there with this, as well. It’s not just about raising money. It’s about getting the Wounded Warrior name out there. Because of the virus, they haven’t been able to get out to events.”
Barton cut his racing teeth in Ireland, although he stuck to the circuits and did not race the public road circuits. After immigrating to the United States, he raced with CCS, and now fields Dominic Doyle in the Junior Cup class and Cooper McDonald in Twins Cup.

Throughout the year, post after post on this blog has detailed the trials and tribulations of the 2022 World Cup, which is currently slated to be held in the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar. From internal disputes among FIFA board members to the sweltering summer heat and the unprecedented proposed move of the World Cup to the winter—in the middle of the club soccer season—it is safe to say that the 2022 World Cup has been nothing short of a disaster thus far.
As the saga surrounding Qatar rages on, many pundits across the soccer landscape have argued for a change of venue. What if no resolution can be reached on summer versus winter? What if they run into issues regarding infrastructure, tourism or the regulation of alcohol sales in a conservative Islamic nation? Should FIFA deem that a last-minute change of the host nation is necessary for 2022, one of the leading candidates to host the cup would be the United States, which was shut out of its bids for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. At this point, the United States would make sense because it already has a multitude of venues that would work and its developed infrastructure and transportation systems would be beneficial to host the tournament.
So this begs the question: if the United States had to host the World Cup in 2022, where would the matches be played? Here are my picks for the 10 venues to host matches in the 2022 World Cup, some of which may surprise you:
1. CenturyLink Field
Location: Seattle, Washington
This is a fairly obvious choice for a World Cup venue. CenturyLink Field is set in the beautiful and soccer-crazed city of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest is home to some of the rowdiest soccer fans in North America. The venue is sizable and features a scenic view of the Seattle skyline, and the summertime temperatures are often very manageable. As far as soccer venues go, this one is a no-brainer.
2. Rose Bowl
Location: Pasadena, California
It doesn’t get much more iconic than the Rose Bowl. Sitting in Southern California and just outside one of the largest and most diverse cities in the United States, the Rose Bowl held more than 93,000 fans for the championship match of the 2011 Gold Cup between the U.S. and Mexico. As one of the classic American sporting venues, the Rose Bowl cannot be left out of the World Cup picture.
3. AT&T Stadium
Location: Dallas, Texas
Expandable up to 105,000, the $1 billion stadium (known by most as the JerryDome after famed owner Jerry Jones) has raised the bar on sporting venues since it first opened in 2009. Jones has always tried to push the bar on holding bigger events (like seating more than 108,000 people for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game), so the World Cup sounds like a logical next step here. Plus, fans get to take in the irony of watching 5-foot-4 Lionel Messi play on a video board that is 72 feet wide and 160 feet high. After all, everything is bigger in Texas.
4. Arrowhead Stadium
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City may be the first surprise on this list of host cities, but as far as MLS cities go, Kansas City is home to one of the most passionate soccer fanbases in the country. Arrowhead Stadium is one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL and would make for a great atmosphere for a World Cup match. For those who would be in favor of a soccer-only venue in this case, Sporting Kansas City’s home field is well below the FIFA-mandated 40,000-seat minimum capacity for a World Cup stadium. Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Kansas City would make a great host city, as long as some of the world’s top footballers don’t get too full on the ribs before a match.
5. Soldier Field
Location: Chicago, Illinois
With its scenic view of Lake Michigan and wide array of restaurants, culture and night life, Chicago would make a great host city for a World Cup. Although Wrigley Field was a site for the NHL’s Winter Classic recently, Soldier Field provides a better layout and atmosphere for a World Cup match where the stadium is meant to be divided between multiple sets of fans.
6. The Horseshoe
Location: Columbus, Ohio
This one may also come as a surprise, but Columbus, Ohio would make an excellent World Cup site. The city played host to matches during the 2013 Gold Cup and was an excellent choice. Columbus is home to the Columbus Crew, which has a rowdy and passionate group of fans, and although their home stadium would be too small to host World Cup matches, being able to use The Horseshoe provides the best of both worlds—a large venue that is one of the most iconic stadiums in college football. All of a sudden, Columbus starts to seem like a much better fit.
7. MetLife Stadium
Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey
Let’s be honest—love it or hate it, there is no way that New York isn’t making this list. Nothing says America like a backdrop of the Statue of Liberty, even if it is from across the river in New Jersey. If this stadium can play host to the Super Bowl in the frigid cold this February, a World Cup match shouldn’t be any problem. Considering New York is often referred to as a city of immigrants, the turnout for these matches would definitely have the most international flavor of the entire tournament.
8. FedEx Field
Location: Landover, Maryland
You can’t hold the World Cup without playing some matches in our nation’s capital. Washington D.C. doesn’t have a rich soccer history by any stretch, but I bet you could get a lot of foreign diplomats out to see the games there, which could lead to some interesting bets (or impending military conflicts) between rival nations on the soccer pitch. In general, hosting an event of this magnitude in Washington D.C. does have most liability from a national security standpoint, but having future President Grant Hill cheer on the Americans in the World Cup would be a memorable moment.
9. Sun Life Stadium
Location: Miami, Florida
A city with so much Latin American influence should be a shoe-in to host a World Cup match. Picture a match with Mexico or Puerto Rico being played in Miami—the crowd would go wild. Miami can’t come close to filling their stadium for the Dolphins or Marlins, and even Heat fans tend to walk out before the end of games, but if the World Cup took its talents to South Beach the tournament would be a party all the way down Calle Ocho.
10. Candlestick Park
Location: San Francisco, California
With its proximity to a large city and the San Francisco Bay, the home of the 49ers is my final choice as a World Cup venue in 2022. Although the most scenic sporting venue in San Francisco is without a doubt the Giants’ AT&T Park, the stadium layout is less conducive for the fan experience at a soccer match.
Have better ideas for potential World Cup venues? Post them in the comments below.

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted unanimously to keep policy rates unchanged at its bi-monthly meet. The repo rate--rate at which RBI lends money to banks-- is at 4 percent, while the reverse repo rate -- the rate at which RBI borrows money from the banks--unchanged at 3.35 percent. The repo rate has been unchanged at 4 percent for the sixth consecutive policy.
The RBI had last revised its policy rate on May 22, 2020, in an off-policy cycle to perk up demand by cutting interest rate to a historic low.
The Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate and bank rates remain unchanged at 4.25 percent. Reverse repo rate also remains unchanged. Consequently, the reverse repo rate will also continue to earn 3.35 per cent for banks for their deposits kept with RBI.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, while announcing the bi-monthly monetary policy review on Friday, said that the MPC was of the view that policy support from all sides needed to nurture recovery in the economy. He added that MPC will maintain a favourable policy stance until needed.
The central bank lowered its estimate for economic growth to 9.5 percent for the current fiscal from earlier projection of 10.5 percent due to the impact of the second COVID wave.
This is the first MPC meeting after official data showed that Indian economy contracted 7.3 per cent in the last fiscal, weighed down by nationwide lockdown that pummelled consumption and halted most economic activities.
With regard to inflation, the governor said that retail inflation is likely to be 5.1 per cent during the current fiscal.
MPC has been given the mandate to maintain annual inflation at 4 percent until March 31, 2026, with an upper tolerance of 6 percent and a lower tolerance of 2 percent.
Prevailing onslaught from COVID's second wave as well as persistently high prices will deter the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from initiating any tapering exercise, economists had said.
As of now, India suffers from a massive spike in Covid-19 infections.
Consequently, the situation has forced state governments to implement local lockdowns and travel restrictions which have started to slowdown economic activity.
This trend has impacted economic activity. Accordingly, the RBI revised India's FY22 growth estimates to 9.5 percent from 10.5 per cent.
Besides, RBI governor Das said vaccination process should help to normalise economic activity. Furthermore, the RBI pegged retail inflation for FY22 CPI-based inflation at 5.2 percent.
