Is US Air Force Academy Encouraging Atheism and Attacking Christianity?
ICC Note: Recent events at the premier military training school for the United States Air Force have started a heated debate over the school's policies towards the religious freedoms of students. While the school claims it is attempting to balance individual freedoms with policies that do not promote any one faith over another, an event planned by an atheist group in the school has received the support of the academy only days after a cadet was pressured to remove a Bible verse from the whiteboard outside of his room.

China Criticizes Report on North Korean Human Rights Abuse
ICC Note: In what is perhaps a surprise to no one, China has condemned a recent United Nations report on the horrific human rights situation inside North Korea. China is North Korea's strongest ally and regularly protests attempts by other nations and the international community to censure North Korea for its development of nuclear weapons and its complete lack of any basic freedoms. North Korea is also considered the world's worst persecutor of Christians, with as many as 30,000 Christians believed to be imprisoned in political prison camps and hundreds of thousands more living with the daily fear of arrest and even execution if their faith is revealed. Most observers believe that the North Korean regime would quickly collapse without the massive amount of food aid delivered by China.

Women’s Harrowing Tale Of Escape From Boko Haram
ICC Note: Two women give an incredible account of their time being held captive by the Boko Haram, an Islamic-based terrorist group in Northern Nigeria. One of the women was told to convert to Islam so that she could be married to a man. This rare inside look into Boko Haram provides a worrisome view of the terror group, made up of many who were known by those who they are now terrorizing.

Kenya Church Attack: Two More Die In Mombasa
ICC Note: The total killed in a brutal attack on a Kenyan church near Mombasa, Kenya has now risen to 6. 2 more victims died from wounds received when gunmen opened fire in the Joy Jesus church in Likoni, near the popular port city of Mombasa.

Christian Syrian Activist Speaks out After Being ‘Arrested’ by Islamist Militants for Not Wearing a Veil
ICC Note: A Syrian Christian who has been a long-time opponent of the regime of Bashar Al-Assad was arrested by Islamists at a protest because she was not wearing a veil. The group said that they were in control of that portion of Aleppo and that hse should abide by their Islamic norms. Following the ordeal she spoke out saying, “There is no room for Christians in the revolution.” Unfortunately, the growing number of Islamists have made it clear they are fighting for an Islamic state, and not for greater rights and freedoms for all Syrians.

Einstein's 'spooky' theory may lead to ultra-secure Internet
Einstein's skepticism about quantum mechanics may lead to an ultra-secure Internet, a new paper suggests. In 1935, Einstein and researchers highlighted a 'spooky' theory in quantum mechanics, which is the strange way entangled particles stay connected even when separated by large distances. In the new research, the authors show that entangled messages "can be shared between more than two people and may provide unprecedented security for a future quantum Internet."

Missing hormone in birds: Leptin found in mallard duck, peregrine falcon and zebra finch
How does the Arctic tern (a sea bird) fly more than 80,000 miles in its roundtrip North Pole-to-South Pole migration? How does the Emperor penguin incubate eggs for months during the Antarctic winter without eating? These physiological gymnastics would usually be influenced by leptin, the hormone that regulates body fat storage, metabolism and appetite. However, leptin has gone missing in birds -- until now.

Exploding stars prove Newton's law of gravity unchanged over cosmic time
Australian astronomers have combined all observations of supernovae ever made to determine that the strength of gravity has remained unchanged over the last nine billion years. Newton's gravitational constant, known as G, describes the attractive force between two objects, together with the separation between them and their masses. It has been previously suggested that G could have been slowly changing over the 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang. But researchers have now analyzed the light given off by 580 supernova explosions in the nearby and far Universe and have shown that the strength of gravity has not changed.

Unconscious mind can detect a liar -- even when the conscious mind fails
When it comes to detecting deceit, your automatic associations may be more accurate than conscious thought in pegging truth-tellers and liars, according to research. The findings suggest that conscious awareness may hinder our ability to detect whether someone is lying, perhaps because we tend to seek out behaviors that are supposedly stereotypical of liars, like averted eyes or fidgeting. But those behaviors may not be all that indicative of an untrustworthy person.

Cost of First Lady's Beijing Hotel Was Deemed 'Prohibitive' for Biden
The White House has been tight-lipped about the cost of First Lady Michelle Obama's trip to China, but based on the choice for lodging, it could be considerable. Mrs. Obama and her entourage, which numbers seventy according to the Washington Times (including her two daughters and her mother), booked the Westin Chaoyang Hotel close to the U.S. embassy in Beijing for their first stop. According to USA Today, the presidential suite at the hotel is listed as $8,400 per night.
