If you had the good luck to play the S&P 500 absolutely perfectly, it would've been possible to transform a $1,000 investment into hundreds of billions of dollars in returns. How? David Yanofsky, reporter for Quartz, tells you how.
Sherlock Holmes' love for logic and sharp eye would go on to inspire mystery writers and real-life crime scene investigators alike. A new PBS documentary takes a look how Sherlock Holmes still informs the way we think and investigate real crimes, even today. What is about Holmes that inspires even modern investigators to cautiously and methodically look at the clues in order to solve a crime? Kimberlee Sue Moran, a forensic archaeologist featured in "How Sherlock Changed the World" explains.
In October, an early blizzard killed tens of thousands of cattle in South Dakota and Nebraska. Ordinarily after this kind of turmoil farmers can expect disaster relief funding through the Farm Bill—but this year that relief is in limbo. Joining The Takeaway to discuss the importance of the Farm Bill is Gary Cammack, a South Dakota Republican state representative and a rancher who lost more than 100 of his own cows and calves in the storm.
Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary. The desire to prevent a tragedy of this scope from ever taking place again is one shared by many Americans. But a year later gun laws are no stricter, and gun sales are on the rise. Robert Draper, contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine, writes about the legislative battle over gun control in this week's magazine.
Our work determines how we spend most of our days, the people we spend our time with, the kind of lifestyle we can afford, and it influences our fundamental sense of who we are. It turns out that what we're paid and how we really feel about our jobs aren't always in sync. Al Gini, a professor of Business Ethics at Loyola University's School of Business Administration and resident philosopher at WBEZ, has dedicated much of his career to understanding the value of work. He's also the author of "My Job My Self."
About 62 percent of Americans think no nation should have a nuclear arsenal—not even the U.S. Globally, the world's nuclear powers have 17,000 weapons combined—a number that's growing. Joe Cirincione is president of Ploughshares Fund and author of "Nuclear Nightmares: Securing the World Before It Is Too Late." In his new book, he argues that the proliferation of nuclear weapons poses a real threat to us all—even in times of safety and peace.
Automaker General Motors tapped a new leader this week. The company's newest CEO, Mary T. Barra, will be the first woman to lead GM. She inherits a company that's no longer in big financial trouble, but GM's biggest challenges are likely to be conceptual. Jaclyn Trop, an automotive reporter for our partner The New York Times based in Detroit, tells The Takeaway what's in store for Barra.
Here's a statistic that might surprise you: The United States has the highest child poverty rate of any developed nation except for Romania. Nearly half of all New Yorkers live below or very close to the poverty line. Children make up a large part of this population—in total there are more than 22,000 homeless children in New York. Andrea Elliot, reporter for our partner The New York Times, profiled one family caught in the shelter system in her five-part series "Invisible Child."
This week our friends at Retro Report look back at a cold March night in 1989 when the tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground off the coast of Southern Alaska, spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil into the waters of Prince William Sound and creating one of the worst oil spills in American history. Scott Michels, reporter for Retro Report, joins The Takeaway to examine how the spill happened and what we did and didn't learn from the disaster.
Fast food appealing for so many Americans is because it's often significantly cheaper than fresh, healthy equivalents. A new study offers one model of how to change that. By offering food stamp users a rebate of 30 cents for every dollar of fresh fruits and vegetables they purchased, the researchers were able to incentivize food stamp users to eat more vegetables and fruits by a full 25 percent. Diane Schanzenbach, Associate Professor in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University, authored the study.
Last year, Giving Tuesday brought $10 million in dollars of donations to charities, though it's a small sum compared to the billions of dollars spent on all other shopping days like Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Peter Singer, a bioethics professor at Princeton University, teaches a course on charitable giving and is the author of "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty." He joins The takeaway to discuss why Americans don't give more.
Men and women are different—is this news? According to a new study it is. Using a technique called diffusion tensor imaging, researchers have discovered that the basic circuitry of men and women's brains is visibly different. Ragini Verma, Associate Professor in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Radiology, is one of the study's co-authors. She joins The Takeaway to discuss her findings.
In the coming weeks, about 1,000 French soldiers will be taking up new posts in the Central African Republic (CAR). The French government says the violence currently being witnessed in CAR borders on genocide. Hannah McNeish, a freelance journalist just back from the Central African Republic, gives us an update on the sectarian conflict. Author Samuel Laurent is an expert on the lasting legacy of French colonial Africa and critical about his country's response to the crisis.
This week our friends at the Retro Report documentary team take us back to 1992 when Kimber Reynolds, the 18-year-old daughter of Fresno wedding photographer Mike Reynolds, was brutally killed in a robbery. Kimber's death prompted the passage of "Three Strikes" legislation. Karen Sughrue, Retro Report producer, joins The Takeaway.
HealthCare.gov can reportedly now handle 800,000 users a day. But with Americans rushing to meet the December 23rd enrollment deadline in order to get coverage by January 1st, administration officials admit the site might become overloaded. Congresswoman Diana DeGette, a Democrat representing Colorado's 1st district, is among those who have been concerned.
On Tuesday, Pope Francis released an 84-page theological manifesto railing against what he called the "tyranny" of unfettered capitalism. The memo also calls for global leaders to fight poverty. It's not often that the leader of a powerful institution stands before those he represents and declares a complete change of focus. Reverend James Bretzke, Professor of Moral Theology at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry puts Pope Francis's remarks into historical context.
What does your family look like? The quintessential American family has been changing dramatically in recent years. This week, we're talking about those changes and how they will be reflected at your Thanksgiving table. We're asking about your families as our partner The New York Times takes up the question. Natalie Angier is the reporter behind this effort. Andrew Solomon, author of "Far from the Tree," writes about all kinds of different families and different kinds of love—notably his own composite clan.
The NASDAQ reached its highest levels in 13 years this week, breaching the 4,000 mark—and putting the index 33 percent higher than where it was last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 have already set several records of their own this year. So what's driving this spike? And what do these climbing stock prices tell us about the broader health of the economy? Rana Foroohar, Assistant Managing Editor of Time Magazine, takes a look at the forces pushing our economy and markets.
The Retro Report documentary team takes us back to 1978, when residents of Love Canal in Niagara Falls, New York got some shocking news about the disposal of toxic chemicals in their community: In the 1940s and 50s, Hooker Chemical company had dumped 21,800 tons of toxic waste in the canal. Thirty-five years later, J. P. Olsen, producer for Retro Report, reports on what he found when he went back to the community.
This week, GOP governors from around the country convened in Scottsdale, Arizona for the annual Republican Governor's Association Conference—a chance to welcome their new chairman, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The meeting is a chance for Gov. Christie to elevate his own profile and hobnob with some of the GOP's biggest donors. Matt Katz, New Jersey Public Radio reporter has been reporting on this year's RGA conference.

HoopsHype Jay-Z rumors
Darren Rovell: Despite a report to the contrary, I have been told that Jay-Z has not yet sold his share in the Nets. Twitter
"These are players you can build your team around," said NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr and his staff according to Predators.com. "We think Seth's game is still going to develop, as are [Nathan] MacKinnon and [Jonathan] Drouin, but we had no reason to remove Seth from that No. 1 spot." Jay-Z has also taken a strong interest in Seth's future, wanting to be involved in his potential branding and marketing appeal via Roc Nation Sports (a partner of CAA Sports who also represents Popeye). Being from a mixed background but predominately seen as an African-American, Seth has the probability of being the Tiger Woods of hockey. His impact is limitless, and Jay-Z would love to strike a deal. "When Seth comes to the NHL Draft (in Newark, NJ) in June, his family, agents at CAA and Roc Nation are going to have a powwow to see if he'll sign with them," a source told Page 6 of the New York Post. SLAM
Simmons breaks down why he thinks James will eventually join forces with music mogul Jay-Z, who recently divested his interest in the Brooklyn Nets in order to partner with Creative Artists Agency as a sports agent. This is the same agency that James left back in September to sign with childhood friend and former CAA agent Rich Paul as part of a new agency called Klutch Sports. To be clear, Simmons offers a disclaimer that his idea is his own and not based on the sort of insider info that Simmons so often cites. USA Today Sports
The man at the center of the proposed reunion is William "Worldwide Wes" Wesley, the CAA coach's agent whose ties to James have been well-chronicled and, as the premise goes, has such an overwhelming and eternal influence on the best basketball player on the planet that he'll convince him to come back. But there is no reason to anticipate this happening. The time has officially come to stop romanticizing the relationship with James and Wesley, and not only because of the obvious fact that the soon-to-be four-time MVP was willing to leave him behind and work with Paul in a partnership that isn't ending anytime soon. The 'Worldwide Wes' factor as it related to James had a Wizard-of-Oz feel to it all along, but the reality in the here and now is that James has long since moved on from that overhyped chapter and, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, the two hardly, if ever, speak these days.The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of their relationship. USA Today Sports
Liz Mullen: David Falk: "I don't understand — other than the fact that Jay-Z is an enormous name in entertainment — why the reaction is so strong," Twitter @SBJLizMullen
When Jay-Z sold his shares in the Brooklyn Nets, he released a pointed diss track called "Open Letter." In the song, he vowed to keep his courtside seats at the Barclays Center despite not being affiliated with the team anymore. Turns out he wasn't lying. For the Nets' first playoff game since moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, Jigga was sitting courtside, wearing a couple of chains and a leather snapback hat that probably cost more than the yearly salaries of everyone in the upper bowl. Put together. USA Today Sports
Being a member of the Nets organization surpassed some of my greatest ambitions. It was never about an investment; it was about the NETS and Brooklyn. My job as an owner is over but as a fan it has just begun. I'm a Brooklyn Net forever. It's been an honor to work with Mikhail Prokhorov, Dmitry Razumov, Christophe Charlier, ONEXIM Sports and Entertainment, Brett Yormark and all the wonderful people involved in making the Nets first class. My sincerest thanks goes to Bruce Ratner, who first introduced the idea of moving the Nets to Brooklyn. A thank you and deepest appreciation goes to the fans. You are the lifeblood of any team. The Nets have made their mark on the NBA and as they enter a new era, Roc Nation does as well; as we embark on Roc Nation Sports. Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today's top music artists. For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets. It was a tough decision but as I stated earlier, it's not about ownership. Congratulations to The Nets on a great season and making the playoffs! I will always be a Brooklyn Net. lifeandtimes.com

Tech investor and social media pioneer Alexis Ohanian told Bloomberg News Tuesday that he's "absolutely" interested in buying jay-Z's shares, equal to 0.067 percent of the Nets team and a somewhat larger percentage of the Barclays Center holding company. Ohanian is a native of Brooklyn and Nets season ticket-holder. Diedre Bolton, host of Bloomberg's "Money Moves" asked Ohanian, founder of Reddit.com, about his interest in the team. "You're a big Nets fan," noted Bolton. "Jay-Z has to sell off his stake which is pretty small. Would you buy it?" NetsDaily
In the track, titled "Open Letter," he vents over a beat produced by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz (clearly forsaking his New York Knicks family to work with the Nets part-owner) about, well, a bunch of stuff, including the response to his reported Nets divestment. You can listen to "Open Letter" after the jump — please be aware, though, that it includes not-suitable-for-work language, so maybe plug the headphones in and keep it away from the kiddies. Yahoo! Sports
The relevant chunk from an NBA perspective: Would've brought the Nets to Brooklyn for free Except I made millions off of/off it (?) you f***ing dweebs I still own the building, I'm still keeping my seats You buy that bulls***, you better keep your receipts There's been quite a bit of conversation on Thursday about that second line — understandably so, since the difference between "off of" or "off it" could mean the difference between Jay taking a shot at one of his ownership partners or just snapping back at those who've continued to crack wise about "one-fifteenth of 1 percent." Given Jay's history of bristling at what he perceives as media attempts to undermine his role in the organization, I'd bet on the latter; then again, the line sounds much more like "off of" than "off it" to me, so it could go either way. The target of Jigga's venom remains unclear. Yahoo! Sports
Jared Dudley: Y'all heard that new Jay Z song!!!? He kilt it!!! Crazy beat to Twitter @JaredDudley619
The Brooklyn Nets are losing one of their biggest names as they prepare for the playoffs. Jay-Z owned just a little piece of the team, but was a large presence when the franchise changed homes and identities this season. The rap mogul is selling his stake in the Nets so he can become certified as a player agent, possibly before the end of the season. The process is underway, with paperwork already filed, a person with knowledge of the details said Wednesday. NBA rules prevent anyone from being involved in ownership and player representation. Washington Times
Entertainment mogul and rapper Jay-Z has started the process of divesting his small share of ownership with the Brooklyn Nets to extend his Roc Nation Sports representation business into basketball, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports
Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – owns less than 1 percent of the Nets, but has been a central public figure in the franchise's marketing and move from New Jersey to Brooklyn. Selling his share of the Nets is a necessary prelude for Jay-Z to obtain his National Basketball Players Association certification as an agent. NBA rules mandate that no one individual affiliated with a player representation company can have an ownership stake with an NBA team. Yahoo! Sports

Sh. Qaradawi's Khutbah from Tahrir Square in English
Mar 03, 2011 09:23 AM »
Dr. Yahya Michot, professor at Hartford Seminary with the collaboration of student Samy Metwally, has prepared a complete translation along with an introductory analysis of Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's khutbah (sermon) in Tahrir Square on February 18, 2011.
The PDF includes an intro and analysis:
Here's the trans:
Praise is due to God! "Praise is due to God, Who has guided us to this. We could not truly have been led aright if God had not guided us" (Q. 7:43). Our Lord, to You the praise is due, as befits the majesty of Your Face and the greatness of Your might. Praise is due to God, a praise abundant, excellent and blessed, which fills the heavens and fills the earth, fills what is between them both and fills anything You want besides! Praise is due to God, Who helps the believers to win and humiliates the wrongdoers! Praise is due to God! We praise Him and we ask Him for help; we ask Him for guidance and we ask Him for forgiveness. We seek refuge in God, Exalted is He, from the evils of our souls and the bad of our actions. We praise You, O God, and we thank You. We cast off and we abandon whoever rejects You. There is no god but You. There is no god but God alone. He has made His promise be true. He has helped His servant to win. He has strengthened His soldiers. He alone has defeated the unjust. I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, Who has no partner. I bear witness that there is no god but You, "the Owner of the sovereignty. You give the sovereignty to whomever You want and You take it away from whomever You want. You strengthen whomever You want and You humiliate whomever You want. In Your Hand is the good. You are powerful over every thing" (Q. 3:26). And I bear witness that our master and our imam, our model and our loved one, Muhammad, is the servant of God and His Messenger, the blessings of God and His peace be upon him, and upon his brothers - the Prophets and the Messengers, especially "the resolute among the Messengers" - Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, the blessings of God be upon all of them - and those who follow them in beneficence, until the Day of judgement.
Now, to our topic. O brothers, O my sons and my daughters, O my brothers and my sisters, O my grandsons and my granddaughters, children of Egypt! The usage of preachers, for their sermons, is to say "O Muslims!" but me, I say in this Square, "O Muslims and Copts! O children of Egypt!" This is the day of the children of Egypt all together. It is not the day of the Muslims alone. I am addressing them from this tribune (minbar), and from this Square, Tahrir Square - or, rather, from this day onwards, it ought to be called the "Square of the Martyrs of the January 25 Revolution". O Brothers, I am addressing you from above this tribune and from the Square of the Martyrs of the January 25 Revolution, this revolution which has taught the world how revolutions should be. It was not an usual revolution but it was a revolution teaching something. The youth who have triumphed in this revolution did not triumph over Mubarak only. They triumphed over Mubarak, they triumphed over injustice, they triumphed over falsehood. They triumphed over robbery and they triumphed over plundering. They triumphed over egoism and they initiated a new life by this revolution. The first whom I will congratulate are these youth, some of whom thought that they would not triumph. As for me, in my last sermon, I swore on the pulpit, I swore by the Great God that this revolution would triumph and that this youth would never be let down, because I believe in the ways (sunan) of God which do not fail to manifest and I believe in the promise of God, Who never lies. God has indeed promised to help the believers to win, and God has promised to make the truth win over falsehood. "And say: Truth has come and falsehood has vanished away. Surely, falsehood is ever bound to vanish" (Q. 17:81). It is not possible that falsehood should triumph over the truth. Falsehood has an hour but the reign of truth will last until the coming of the Hour. "As for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; while, as for that which is useful to mankind, it remains in the earth" (Q. 13:17). It was inevitable that this revolution should triumph, and that its believing children should triumph over this tyrant (tâghût), over this Pharaoh who threatened and menaced. But the believers - Egypt once it believes - made answer to Pharaoh.
That Pharaoh had said to the Egyptians: "Do you believe in Him before I give you permission?" (Q. 20:71). Similarly this Pharaoh said: "Do you make a revolution before I give you permission to make a revolution?" It is not allowed to the minds to be convinced, nor to the hearts to believe, nor to the limbs to move except with an authorization from Pharaoh! "You are making a revolution before I give you permission to make a revolution?" "You are believing in Him before I give you permission?" The children of Pharaoh, Egypt, once they believed, said to Pharaoh, defiantly: "We will not prefer you to what has come to us of clear proofs and to Him Who made us; therefore, decide what you are going to decide" (Q. 20:72). Observe the human being when he believes and the human being before he believes! The magicians whom Pharaoh had brought together from all the regions of Egypt threw their cords and their rods and said: "By Pharaoh's might, we will surely be the winners" (Q. 26:44). And "they said to Pharaoh: 'Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?' " (Q. 26:41) - 'Is there money?' - "He said: 'Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near' " (Q. 26:42). - 'There is money, positions, and many benefits!' - And what did these authentic Egyptians say once they believed, the truth having appeared to them? "We will not prefer you to what has come to us of clear proofs and to Him Who made us; therefore, decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life. Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us; and God is better and more lasting" (Q. 20:72-73).
This is Egypt when it believes. This is why these youth from all regions in Egypt, from all social classes, rich and poor, educated and illiterate, workers and cultured - though the majority were cultured and educated people -, we saw altruism increase among them. They became, they fused into, one melting-pot: Muslims and Christians, radicals and conservatives, rightists and leftists, men and women, old and young, all of them became one, all of them acting for Egypt, in order to liberate Egypt from injustice (zulm) and tyranny (tâghût). It was inevitable that Egypt be liberated, because these youth willed it, and when the youth will, their will participates of the will of God. In the past, we learnt by heart this poem of Abû l-Qâsim al-Shâbbî:
Surely, the day the people (sha'b) wills to live, the divine decree (qadar) must inevitably comply! The divine decree... Some people (nâs) say: "Does the divine decree follow people?" Oh yes, the divine decree... God Most High says: "God does not change the condition of a folk until they first change that which is in yourselves" (Q. 13:11). Change what is in yourself, and God will change your situation and your condition. The people (sha'b) changed, so God changed its condition! The people (sha'b) endured, it was put to the test, it made sacrifices, it was determined, and the fear was removed from it. The pharaohs, in the past, made people (nâs) fear, they used to gain victories by frightening them, they used to throw fear into the hearts of people. But people did not care about Pharaoh, nor about Korah (Qârûn), nor about Hâmân, nor about the State Security, nor about torture, nor about the camels, the mules, the horses, nor about the snipers, nor about any of all these things. They were determined, the people (sha'b) was determined, the youth were determined, the youth of the revolution were determined to continue, and God realized their hopes, God realized their goals.
My congratulations to this people (sha'b), my congratulations to these youth, the revolutionary youth, whose hands I would like to kiss, one by one, because they have raised our heads by what they have realized, by their enduring, their outdoing all others in endurance and their remaining steadfast, these young people who have made this revolution, and have given mankind the highest example. I consider them, in some way, as like the Helpers, whom God described in His Book by saying: "They prefer them before themselves though poverty may afflict them" (Q. 59:9); the Helpers who have been described as being many when it is about succouring others, and few when it is about cupidity. One of them remains hungry so that his brother may eat his fill, one of them works hard so that his brother may rest, one of them stays up at night so that his brother may sleep; he prefers them to have the bed and the cover, the food and the drink. These are the youth of Egypt.
I recommend to these youth to keep their spirit. The revolution has not ended. The revolution has just started producing fruits. Do not think that the revolution is over! Consider that the revolution is continuing, because we will participate in the construction, the construction of the new Egypt, Egypt which has learned many things from this revolution. Be patient with your revolution and preserve it! Beware lest someone steal it from you! Protect this revolution! Be on your guard against the hypocrites, who are ready to put on, every day, a new face, and to speak with a new tongue! "When they meet those who believe, they say: 'We believe'; and when they are alone with their devils, they say: 'Surely we are with you' " (Q. 2:14). Yesterday they were against the revolution and, today, with the revolution! Be on your guard against those! Say to the youth: "Protect your revolution! Be vigilant about this revolution, and continue to protect it!" This is what I demand from my children, the youth of the revolution: to continue their revolution and to preserve their unity. Beware lest someone enter among you who would corrupt this excellent relationship and this fraternity which has brought you together in this Square. These are my words to the youth of the revolution.
Other words now to the Egyptian people (sha'b), to the whole Egyptian people (sha'b), the great people (sha'b) whom God has mentioned in the Qur'ân. Note that the Qur'ân has not mentioned any country by name, except two countries: a country mentioned in one verse, Babylon, with its magic, and Egypt, which He mentioned five times in the Glorious Qur'ân. No country is mentioned in the Qur'ân more than once except the country about which He said: " Enter safe into Egypt, if God wills" (Q. 12:99). And those wrongdoers did not want anyone to enter into Egypt except with fear. They sowed fear and took away the things by which society is sustained. Hunger and fear: they imposed these two together on people. Hunger and fear! They were getting fatter and the people (sha'b) of Egypt was perishing from emaciation. They were stealing in millions and the people (sha'b) of Egypt was getting its salaries and wages in millims. They used to plunder the wealth of the country and to smuggle it abroad. It has been said that what was plundered from Egypt during these years amounts to three trillion dollars. Three trillions of dollars, not billions! Three trillions of dollars! If this money were returned to Egypt, or if half of it were returned, or a quarter of it, the debts of Egypt would be repaid and it would pay for the projects to build Egypt in the future.
I say to the Egyptian people (sha'b): "Felicitations to you, O people (sha'b)! This great people (sha'b) which embraced Christianism and gave thousands - souls and blood - for Christianism. They fought the Byzantines, despite the fact that they were Christians like them, because they were opposed to them in the matter of doctrine. There used to be periods which are called the "Eras of the Martyrs". And when it embraced Islam, it sacrificed itself for this Islam. It fought the Crusaders and it made King Louis IX prisoner in the house of Ibn Luqmân in Mansoura. It fought the Tatars and the battle of 'Ayn Jâlût took place on 25 Ramadan of the year 658 H., led by the Mamluk commander al-Muzaffar Sayf al-Dîn Qutuz. He defeated the Tatars against whom nobody was standing. The army of Egypt triumphed over them - Egypt which has been the qibla of Islamic culture throughout the past centuries, the qibla of Islamic sciences and of the Arabic language.
Egypt, O brothers, has triumphed in this revolution and has triumphed over what has been called "sectarianism". There was something which they used to call "sectarianism", and which they themselves had produced. In this Square, the Square of the Martyrs of January 25, the Christian stood with the Muslim, side by side. I remember that yesterday, while I was coming from Qatar, a young man came to me, saying: "I am So-and-so, son of So-and-so, from Egypt. I am a Christian. I am one of those who follow the program The Sharî'a and Life and your Friday sermons in Qatar. I am proud of you, you who are calling for the unity of the Umma, and you..., and you..." I said: "Praise is due to God!..." In Tahrîr Square, the Copt brothers were standing as guards of their [Muslim] brothers while they were praying. And today I invite them not to guard their brothers, but to prostrate with their Muslim brothers in thankfulness to God Most High. To prostrate is something that the Muslims and the Christians both do. In this square, this sectarianism has come to an end, this cursed sectarianism. Yesterday, Ahmad Ragab, the satirist writer, mentioned that he had visited Tahrir Square and found a young Muslim girl pouring water for a Muslim man for the ablution; he said: "Now, the revolution has succeeded!" As for me, my granddaughter was leading a group of young people washing and cleaning the squares, and painting various things in need of paint. A priest passed by them, a priest, who said to them: "Do you need some help? I, I can help you." They said: "Yes, please", thinking that he would work with them. He took out a hundred Egyptian pounds and said: "This is my help to you." They said "God is greater!" (Allâhu akbar!) and bought some brushes, paints, and other things. This is the Egyptian spirit, the spirit that encompasses all. I hope from the people (sha'b) of Egypt that it sticks to this unity, the unity of a line of people praying. Let there be no fanaticism! We are all believers. We have to believe in God and to deepen our faith. We are all Egyptians. We are all rising up against falseness (bâtil). We are all angry on behalf of the Truth. That spirit must persist, O my brothers and sisters, O my sons and daughters!
Some words now to the army of Egypt. Some words to the army of Egypt. I salute the army of Egypt. I salute this army which is the armor of the people (sha'b), its support and its pride. Some of the brothers told me: "Don't overpraise the army! It might let you down and not help the revolution to win!" I said to him: "By God, they will not let me down!" When I preached my latest sermon, after the first communiqué that had been issued and many people had been struck by disappointment because of it, I said: "I believe that the army of Egypt will not be less patriotic than the army of Tunisia. The army of Tunisia helped the revolution of Tunisia to win, and the army of Egypt, which entered four wars for Egypt and for Palestine, it is not possible that this army betray its country, it is not possible that it sacrifice the youth for the sake of a single individual. This army is too reasonable and too noble to do that. And I swore that the army would join with the people (sha'b). The army joined with the people (sha'b), issued these decisions which we had seen, and announced from the first day that the right to express itself peacefully was guaranteed to the people (sha'b) as long as it remained peaceful. It also announced that it understood the demands of the people (sha'b) and that it would not intervene against it; and it did not and would not use force against the children of the people (sha'b), who are making the revolution and demonstrating peacefully. This army, which has announced that it is not an alternative to the legitimate order (shar'iyya) which the people (sha'b) wants and which the youth of this square would be pleased with. It also announced that it is attached to freedom and democracy. It has set up this commission for revising the constitution - within ten days! - and it is in a hurry that life be changed into civilian life - this commission which is chaired by this eminent man, the legal adviser, the jurist, the historian, the thinker, the moderate, the fair-minded, Târiq al-Bishrî. We want from this commission that it play its role as soon as possible.
And we demand from the Egyptian army that it liberate us from the government that Mubarak formed in his time, a time now over, annihilated. We want a new government, in which there are none of these faces which people cannot bear anymore. Every time people see them, they remember the injustice, they remember the killing, they remember the falseness, they remember the raid of the camels, the mules and the horses, they remember the snipers who kill people, they remember the vehicle which is going right and left, back and forth, and is killing people, running people over! Twenty people were killed, run over by this vehicle! People do not want to see these faces. We demand from the army and from its command that it liberate us from this government and set up a government, form a civilian government from the children of Egypt - and how many they are, the noble children of Egypt who did not commit such crimes! We also demand, we demand from the army that it immediately set free the political detainees and the political prisoners whom the prisons are holding and who have lived long years under the vaults of the prisons after being judged by military tribunals or emergency tribunals that give no evidence and do not care about the truth. The traces of these tribunals must be erased. I do not want our brave and noble army to be charged with any sin. Every day which passes while those people are in prison, every day which they spend in prison, or even, every hour, all those who caused this injustice and are not correcting it are committing a sin. Inasmuch as we are able to correct this injustice, this injustice must cease.
Before I finish speaking, I want to turn to the children of Egypt. I know that the children of Egypt have suffered a lot of injustice. Various groups of workers, peasants and employees, how long they have suffered injustice! However, God did not build this world in a day, nor in hours. He built it in six days, although He had the power to build it with a "'Be!' and it is", in order to teach us perseverance. We inevitably must be patient, a little longer. I call on everyone who has stopped working, or is striking, or is sitting-in, to contribute to this revolution with his work. Egypt wants you to work. The Egyptian economy is underdeveloped and it is not permitted to us who have supported the revolution, it is not permitted to us to be a cause retarding the construction of Egypt, retarding the economy of Egypt. On the contrary, we must convince all our brothers who are striking and who are sitting-in, to be patient a little longer. I am calling on the army to contact them, to reassure them and to promise them that this is indeed what we want, so that Egypt moves along in its construction, in the phase of construction. All the children of Egypt are now ready to build. Everyone is ready to take a stone and to build something in this country. I call on all the children of the country to work for construction. We are in a new phase, a phase in which the truth triumphs and falseness is brought to naught. Surely, it is the right of all these Egyptians that they get their rights, that they obtain that which they deserve and that they be treated equitably, but it is also our duty to be patient with our brothers in the army, so that all hopes be achieved, one after the other. "And say to them: 'Act!' God will see your action, and so will His Messenger and the believers, and you will be brought back to the Knower of the invisible and the visible, and He will inform you about what you used to do" (Q. 9:105). Pray to God Most High and He will hear your prayer.
Praise is due to God, the Forgiver of sins! Who has no partner. Those who are in the heavens and on the earth glorify Him. To Him belong the sovereignty and the praise, and He is powerful over every thing. I bear witness that our master and our imam, our model and our loved one, Muhammad, is the servant of God and His Messenger, the bearer of good tidings, the warner, and the enlightening lamp, the blessings of God and His peace be upon him, upon his family and his Companions, who believed in him, backed him up, helped him to win, and followed the light that had been sent down with him. Those are the successful! Pleased be God with those who forward his call, are guided by his Sunna and struggle as he struggled, until the Day of judgement!
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. "Say: 'In the bounty of God and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they gather' " (Q. 10:58). We ask the Mighty and Majestic God to render this day of this Umma better than its yesterday, and its tomorrow better than today. O God, be generous with us and don't treat us with contempt! Give us and don't deprive us! Give us more and not less! Prefer us and don't prefer others to us! Be pleased with us and make us pleased! O God, we ask You to pardon us, and to grant us to do well in our religion and in this world, in our family and in our wealth. O God, cover our deficiencies and appease our fears! Protect us from before us and from behind us, from our right, from our left, and from above us! And we take refuge in Your might against being destroyed from under us. O God, open things for this country in a manifest opening! O God, guide its inhabitants on a straight way! O God, help them to achieve a strong victory! O God, give them Your grace completely, make Your serenity come down into their hearts and pour upon them Your favour and Your mercy! O God, purify our sayings from futility, our actions from foolishness, our souls from weakness, our hearts from disloyalty, our tongues from lying, our eyes from betrayal, our acts of worship from simulation, our life from self-contradiction! O God, render this day better for us than our yesterday, and render our tomorrow better than this day! Make our end excellent in all affairs and draw us away from the ignominy of this world and from the torment of the hereafter! O God, draw us away from the ignominy of this world and from the torment of the hereafter! O God, in Your mercy we hope; so, don't entrust us to ourselves even for the twinkling of an eye! Correct for us all the evil done by us. There is no god but You. O Ever-Living, O Self-subsisting, to Your mercy we appeal for help. O Ever-Living, O Self-subsisting, to Your mercy we appeal for help.
Before I conclude my speech and these invocations, I will say some words to the regimes ruling in the Arab countries. I will say to them: "Don't be arrogant! Don't delude yourselves! Don't stop History! Nobody will be able to fight the divine decrees, nor to delay the day when it rises. This world has changed and the world has evolved. The Arab world has changed from the inside. So, do not stand against the peoples (sha'b). Try to come to an understanding with them! Don't deceive them! Don't try to get them with empty words! It is not possible that peoples (sha'b) remain silent. Dialogue with them in a real dialogue, not to patch things up, but with constructive actions, constructive actions that put things in their places, respect the minds of people (nâs) and respect the minds of the peoples (sha'b)!" This is my message to the rulers of the Arabs.
Now, a message to our brothers in Palestine. Myself, I have the hope that God, Glorified and Exalted is He, just as He has cooled my eyes with the victory of Egypt, will cool my eyes with the opening (fath) of al-Aqsâ Mosque and will make it possible for me to preach in al-Aqsâ Mosque. O God, make it possible for us to preach in al-Aqsâ Mosque and to enter al-Aqsâ Mosque safely, without fear or dread! O God, make for us a reality of this manifest opening!
O children of Palestine, be confident that you will be helped to win! The Rafah crossing will be open for you. I demand this from the Egyptian army, from the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces: "Open the Rafah crossing! Open that which stands between us and our brothers! Ghazza is part of Egypt and Egypt is part of Ghazza. Egypt must be a support, an armor, a fortress. For Egypt which has fought four wars for Palestine, it is not proper to block the road. The crossings that are in our hands must necessarily be open, especially the Rafah crossing. We should open it to the convoys that used to be prevented from giving succour to our brothers." This is what I demand from our dear, brave and noble army.
I am asking God, Glorified and Exalted is He, that He make us see the right conduct in our affairs. Our Lord, forgive us, as well as our brothers who preceded us in the faith! Do not put in our hearts any malice toward those who believe! Our Lord, you are Kind, Merciful! O God! Amen. O God, bless Your servant and Your Messenger, Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them in beneficence until the Day of judgement!
Stand up for the prayer! Surely prayer keeps one away from lewdness and what is reprehensible.

"the hospital did not use taxpayer money to purchase the Los Gatos Community Hospital."
Reminds me of a joke: A beggar asks a man for money for food. The man says "How do I know you won't spend it on booze?" The beggar says "I already have money for booze. I just need money for food."
If they didn't buy Los Gatos then would they have needed less taxpayer money to fund operations of the MV hospital?

Save Your Cryptozoology History!
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 18th, 2012
The Daily Mail's Yeti Everest Expedition of 1954, tracked several trails of giant footprints on their trek.
Members of the greater Cryptomundo and cryptozoology communities are encouraged to consider highlighting your part of the history of cryptozoology by donating one or two expedition artifacts and/or other items to the International Cryptozoology Museum (11 Avon Street, Portland, ME 04101 USA) to preserve your legacy. Save the yesterdays today for the tomorrows of others.
Think about it. Your work is too important to see others merely throw away your research into a trash bin or send it along to an online auction, as we have heard has occurred.
Roland Smith writes:
You raise an interesting point, Loren.
I haven't drawn up a will (mainly because I think I am too young!) but when we shuffle this mortal coil, it is more than likely our dearly beloveds may not regard any cryptozoological items with the same regard as we did. In other words, in the bin it goes or off to the car boot sale or it may lie in the attic decaying.
To this day I would like to know where the legacy notes, books, photos, etc of well-known Nessie researchers such as Whyte, Holiday, Dinsdale, Gould, etc ended up. Some I can guess where but that leads to the second problem of access. So, yes, think about these things if you have anything of value.
I laid out my complaints here.
The items at our nonprofit museum, besides being publicly exhibited for scientific and educational purposes, come under a formal policy for access. In brief, various donated books, papers and documents are readily available and accessible to credible students and researchers, on site, under supervision, for serious study. Expedition and personal items linked to search treks for cryptids are labeled and placed on public display.
Documents and papers are important, needless to say.
Team members of the 1954 Daily Mail Yeti expedition shown, include zoologist Charles Stonor, journalist Tom Stobart, zoologist Dr. Biswamoy Biswas, and naturalist Gerald Russell, who had assisted in the capture of the first live Panda and headed the 1958 Slick-Johnson Snowman Expedition.
What happens with the larger items from the quests? It is truly frightening to realize that so many sculptures, casts, cameras, artifacts, and such objects have completely disappeared because heirs do not understand the historical value of cryptozoology items. What happened to the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau's van and cameras? How about the tons of equipment used on the 1950s-1960s Yeti expeditions?
Don't get bogged down in thinking that you don't have anything to contribute to the museum. Not true! Think small but symbolic. Have you been on an expedition in pursuit of Yetis, Thylacines, Bunyips, Sasquatch, Yowies, Yeren, Mongolian Death Worms, Ogopogo, Nessie, and/or one of hundreds of other cryptids? Did you come back with a pair of muddy boots you haven't cleaned up? A smashed canteen? A field-used tent? A broken flashlight (torch in the UK)? Carabiners used in the Himalayas searching for Yeti or the Pamirs looking for Almas? The museum is building its collection regarding the cryptozoologists, as well as the cryptids. Consider donating something from your quest to help us capture the complete history of cryptozoology, and your part in it.
Preserve the legacy of today's quests, even if only in a tiny way.
Thank you.
Loren Coleman, Director

Have nothing to physically send? Support our continuing mission to preserve the history of cryptozoology, nevertheless, with a donation.
Simply click on the following button to give $5, $10, $50, $100, whatever you can send…
Start 2012 on a positive note. Give to a good cryptozoology cause.
Much appreciation.

WOW! Holy Cow! Just got incredible news from one of our members, what a great motivation to start out the week as we celebrate 2 years online and prepare more new Online Helicopter Training! I just got off the phone with a member from Tennessee who used our DVDs to pass his Private 4 months ago.
He used them again and just passed his commercial as well! The only thing he used was our training and he stated that it 100% helped him learn the information and pass both his check-rides with flying colors. Funny thing is he did not even realize all the new content inside the online site that he did not even utilize.
He also didn't know that we are building a CFI section that is already in place that he can utilize as well! So if you have been on the fence, there is more proof the we can help you get through YOUR Check-Ride as well! A big thank you goes out to all our free and paid members for all your support and feedback!

Fulham loan deal for Dempsey
Fulham have signed United States captain Clint Dempsey on a two-month loan, the Barclays Premier League club have announced.
The 30-year-old is currently with Seattle Sounders FC and he will spend the Major League Soccer off-season at Craven Cottage in what will be his second spell at the club.
The midfielder spent five and a half seasons at the west London club having first signed a permanent deal in January 2007 from New England Revolution.
In his first spell with Fulham Dempsey scored 60 goals in 225 appearances, among the most memorable was the fourth goal in a 4-1 win over Juventus in the Europa League which completed a comeback over two legs as they made their way to the final in 2010.
Dempsey also scored the only goal of the match against Liverpool at Craven Cottage in May 2007 which secured Premier League football for the club the following season.
He was voted Fulham's player of the season two years in a row, the last following the 2011/12 season after which he signed for Tottenham in August 2012.
Dempsey moved to north London in a £6million switch, despite having been heavily linked with Liverpool and Aston Villa, but he spent just a year at White Hart Lane before returning to the United States and the Seattle Sounders.
Dempsey joins a Fulham team second from bottom of the table and clearly hopes to be part of a squad that will improve under Rene Meulensteen.
The looming World Cup in Brazil - where he will guide the United States - was also a consideration.
In an interview aired on Fulham's official website, he said: "It feels good to be back.
"This has always felt like my home in Europe.
"I am excited to be back and be a part of this team and play in this league."
Of his reasons for returning, Dempsey added: "A lot of different things.
"I just wanted to be back playing at the highest level, get back to top form and get back to helping the team where they are not where they want to be in the table.
"Going into a World Cup year you want to get to that top form and carry that forward, so hopefully have a good showing."

Beautiful landscape silhouetted against the sunset. Very well captured.
This is another stunner Theresa - such wonderful colours and composition.
Another super sunset, Theresa, and what a wonderful sky
A beautiful sunset image, Theresa! Wonderful colours and tones! Lovely
At least you got him to stop in time John sometimes pretends to not hear me, and then he has to turn around and drive back...........
I can understand that you wanted to capture this - it's that illusive constantly changing light - glorious in each moment - gorgeous on the water.
A beautiful sunset Theresa, wonderful colours.Well done..Lin

User Review: La Sportiva Men's Miura VS
In short, these are the best shoes I have ever owned. The edging is incredible and like all Sportiva shoes I love the rubber. Basically, put your foot on the rock and as long as you trust your feet like you should, they'll stick.
I have some what of a large, but skinny foot. I normally wear a size 12- 12 1/2. I got these in a 44 and they have a little bit of excess material over the knuckles of my toes but strap them down tight and it does not seem to matter much. They stretch about a 1/2 size max in my experience, so make sure to compensate if you need too.
Great shoes for sport climbing but if your into long trad climbs, might want to go with something a little less aggressive because after awhile, your foot gets a little sore.

Andie is everything I could have hoped for in an actor portraying Olivia: smart, gracious, wise... I could go on. By now, as you've watched the episodes, you no doubt have a clear picture of what I mean. When Rosie and Zach come before her, she isn't so quick to grant the divorce--remember what happened with the young couple in the pilot--she wasn't quick to grant that divorce either, as you'll remember. She wanted both couples to step back and reconsider, communicate. In the case of Rosie and Zack, when that didn't work, she was forced to move forward with their petition, but her decision shocked them both. I have to admire a judge who looks at the overall picture of the family and makes a decision on what would be best for the children. Can't you just imagine what's about to happen... Check back next week for more from Debbie, and be sure to visit her website!
