DOT Marine Highway Projects
Cross Sound Ferry Enhancement Project Applicant: Connecticut Department of Transportation Corridor: M-95 Marine Highway Corridor (Sponsor: I-95 Corridor Coalition) Project Snapshot: The Cross Sound Ferry Enhancements Project would improve three passenger/vehicle ferries operating between New London, Connecticut and Orient Point, Long Island. Combined, the enhancements would increase capacity and efficiency of the service while reducing vessel emissions, further improving the service’s footprint. Attributes: This service provides 12,000 one-way vessel trips each year along a 16-mile water route, eliminating a 166-mile highway drive through congested portions of Long Island, New York City and Connecticut along the I-95 Corridor. The project offers the opportunity to increase capacity, saving nearly 500,000 additional highway miles. One of many public benefits offered by this project is improved livability through reduction of traffic in highly congested urban centers. Other benefits include emissions reductions, energy savings and landside transportation infrastructure maintenance savings. The U.S. Department of Transportation will work with the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the I-95 Corridor Coalition and other Federal Departments to identify appropriate actions to help expand capacity, reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency of the vessels. New England Marine Highway Expansion Project Applicant: Maine Department of Transportation Corridor : M-95 Marine Highway Corridor (Sponsor: I-95 Corridor Coalition) Project Snapshot: The Northeast Marine Highway Expansion Project will expand an existing container-on-barge service operating between Newark, New Jersey, Boston, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine. This will be accomplished by design and construction of an articulated tug and barge that rigidly connects the two vessels. -

Senate Select Committee on Texas Ports
Senate Select Committee on Texas Ports Interim Report to the 85th Legislature November 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAIRMAN'S LETTER………………………………………………………………. 2 REPORT SIGNATORIES…………………………………………………………….. 3 COMMITTEE COMPOSITION AND PROCEEDINGS……………………………. 4 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY……………………………………………………. 5 ISSUES AND FINDINGS……………………………………………………………...17 RECOMMENDATIONS ……………………………………………………………...21 1 Senate Select Committee on Texas Ports November 18, 2016 Dear Members and Fellow Texans: Enclosed is the interim report for the Senate Select Committee on Texas Ports, commissioned by Lt. Governor Patrick. I would like to thank him for his attention to these essential waypoints of the Texas economy and for the privilege of chairing the Committee. In the past months, my Senate colleagues and I have studied our state’s port assets (both coastal and inland hubs) and paid particular attention to the economic impact of the Panama Canal expansion. We have arrived at a number of conclusions on the matter of what our state’s economy must do to compete and grow. Thanks to the tireless efforts of this committee and the enthusiastic support of port authorities across the state, we have a much clearer picture of the unique role Texas ports play in our state’s economy. They are indispensable gateways to trade and economic growth which have fueled our state’s rise to the top ranking among America’s exporting states. That ranking is reflective of our ports’ ability to handle more than 20 percent of our nation’s total export tonnage. As improvements to the Panama Canal create a flow of larger vessels from distant trading partners, we must ensure Texas ports are equipped to sustain our economic leadership role. -
Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya Al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id Al-Fitr 2008 October 30, 2008
Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id al-Fitr 2008 October 30, 2008 [Please note: Images may have been removed from this document. Page numbers have been added.] Terrorism : Al-Sahab Releases New Abu Yahya Al-Libi Speech on Occasion of Id al-Fitr 2008 On 28 October, a forum participant posted to a jihadist website a statement issued by the Al-Sahab Media Production Organization, the media arm of the Al-Qa'ida Organization, entitled "New: Al- Sahab Presents: The Id al-Fitr Speech for 1429 by the Eminent Shaykh Abu Yahya al-Libi." The statement contained the banner advertising Al-Libi's most recent speech and numerous links to the video file. The Al-Sahab video itself is 44 minutes and 41 seconds long and in it, Al-Libi offers encouragement and incitement for all mujahidin to remain steadfast and not veer off the "path of righteousness." He urges them to continue on the path of jihad but does not refer to specific individuals except for the Egyptian president, whom he strongly rebukes for not coming to the aid of the Palestinians. Toward the end, he prays for the downfall of all those who fight against Islam, specifically the US, the coalition allies, and US President Bush, and calls upon God to humiliate him and destroy him. A translation of the speech follows: "'All that they said was: 'Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything We may have done that transgressed our duty: Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith" (Koranic verse; Al-Imran 3:147). -

Allah said: 'I know that which you do not know.' Allah taught Adam all the names of everything, then He showed them to the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. -

To Bow Or Not to Bow?
Sat 11 March 2017 / 13 Adar 5777 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Lunch and Learn To bow or not to bow? In the story of Purim, did Mordechai act properly by refusing to bow before Haman, thereby endangering all the Jews? You may have been told: Jews bow only to God. This is false. Bowing to people as a gesture of respect, honor, love, fear is allowed: -Abraham bowed to his guests: And he lifted his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing beside him, and he saw and he ran toward them from the entrance of the tent, and he prostrated himself to the ground. [Genesis 18:2]. -Abraham bowed to the people from whom he was buying a burial plot for Sarah: And Abraham stood up, and bowed to the people of the land, to the Hittites. [Genesis 23:7] -Jacob bowed to his brother Esau seven times: And [Jacob] bowed to the ground seven times, until he came near his brother… Then the maidservants came with their children, and they bowed down. Then Leah came with her children came and they bowed down. Then Joseph came with Rachel and they bowed down. [Gen. 33:3-7] -Joseph’s brothers bowed to him: Now Joseph was the ruler over the land and Joseph's brothers came and prostrated themselves to him, with their faces to the ground. [Genesis 42:6]. -Moses bowed to his father-in-law: So Moses went out toward Jethro, prostrated himself and kissed him. [Exodus 18:7] - The prophet Nathan bowed to King David: And they told the king: Behold: Nathan the prophet. -
1 the Church of St. Raphael the Archangel Lexington, Kentucky
The Church of St. Raphael the Archangel Lexington, Kentucky Sermon for Michaelmas ~ September 30. 2012 The Reverend Ronald D. Pogue I was somewhat relieved when Fr. Johnnie told me that today we would be using the propers for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels instead of the Sunday propers. I had been struggling to develop a sermon about faithful stewardship from the Sunday propers, which tell us about King Ahasuerus hanging Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai in response to the report of Queen Esther, James’ advice regarding anointing the sick and forgiving sins, and instructions from Jesus about cutting off hands and feet and plucking out eyes when those organs cause us to sin. Perhaps you wonder why I was relieved. You may find yourselves asking, “What do angels have to do with stewardship?” That question certainly occurred to me. And, after some careful consideration of the readings, it occurred to me that Angels are all about stewardship! For example, Jacob, the deceitful second-born twin of Isaac and Rebecca, emerged from the womb clinging to the foot of his brother, Esau. Jacob was running for his life when he had that dream in which he saw a ladder connecting heaven and earth with angels ascending and descending. He had deceived his father and cheated his hairy brother Esau out of his birthright. William J.A. Power, an Episcopal Priest and longtime professor at Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, used to refer to Esau and Jacob as “Harry and Grabby.” The story of Jacob is the story of his spiritual and psychological development. -

Series: Bible Characters Esther – (Esther 4:14B) 1. the Name “Esther
Series: Bible Characters Esther – (Esther 4:14b) 1. The name “Esther” means “star.” Her Hebrew name is “Hadasseh” which means “myrtle.” 2. She was an orphan girl who was adopted by Mordecai her cousin (Esther 2:5-7). She was probably only 10-11 years of age when king Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes) came to throne. 3. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah deal with the remnant who returned to Jerusalem. The book of Esther takes place between Ezra chapters 6 & 7. 4. What we need to learn from the story of Esther is that no matter how bad the world’s condition is, God is still in control. I. WORLDLY SITUATIONS A. The Players. 1. At this time, Israel is no longer a nation because they have been absorbed into the most dominant power in the world at that time, Persia. 2. One of the most important people in the world at this time is a key player in this story. His name is Ahasuerus. a. He reigned in Susa. b. His empire spanned over 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. c. For six months he had the biggest party the world had ever seen. During that time, in one of his drunken stupors, he decides to show off his queen Vashti to his guests. 1) Some feel that he asked the queen to prance around naked in front of the guests. 2) She refuses to do so, and in his rage he banishes her from being queen. He regretted that later, but the law of the Medes and Persians could not be revoked, so he would need a new queen. -
AND the JEWISH EXPERIENCE the Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE
AND THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE The Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE This exhibition is organized by Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California. The presentation of this exhibition at Telfair Museums is curated by Courtney McNeil, Chief Curator & Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs. The works in this binder are organized alphabetically by the title of the print. An image of the work precedes the label text. All works are by Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669) unless otherwise noted. All works courtesy of the Collection of Howard and Fran Berger, Gift to the Westmont-Ridley Tree Museum of Art. Abraham and Isaac, 1645 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.34, I/II (White & Boon only state); H. 214 Rembrandt represents the patriarch and his son just prior to Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham is portrayed as obedient to God’s command, yet in anguish, in contrast to the young Isaac, who accepts his fate. For Christians, this scene is often interpreted as a precursor to the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament. Within the context of Judaism, this narrative serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God’s will and his divine plan. This etching captures the diverse breadth of style of Rembrandt’s etched line work. His use of drypoint enhances the sense of weighty volume and velvety texture of Abraham’s and Isaac’s garments. Abraham Casting Out Hagar and Ishmael, 1637 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.30, I/I (White & Boon only state); H. 149 Here, the beloved Jewish-Christian patriarch Abraham reluctantly exiles his first-born son, Ishmael, and the boy’s mother, Hagar.
