The Jewish tradition generally places a high value on learning and study, especially of religious texts. Torah study (compromising study of the Torah and more broadly of the entire Hebrew Bible as well as Rabbinic literature such as the Talmud and Midrash) is considered a religious obligation.
Since the Renaissance and the growth of higher education, many people, including people not of the Jewish faith, have chosen to study Jews and Judaism as a means of understanding the Jewish religion, heritage, and Jewish history.
Religious instruction specifically for Jews, especially for those who wish to join the rabbinate, is taught at Jewish seminaries (and in Orthodox Judaism, yeshivas). Among the most prominent are the Conservative Jewish Theological Seminary and the Reform Hebrew Union College. For the majority of Jewish students attending regular academic colleges and universities there is a growing choice of Jewish studies courses and even degrees available at many institutions.
The subject of antisemitism and the Holocaust, as well as the establishment of the modern State of Israel and the revival of the Hebrew language have all stimulated unusual interest in greater in-depth academic study, research, reading and lecturing about these core areas of knowledge related to current events. In the United States, the unique position that Jewish Americans have held within the nation's complex social structure has created substantial scholarship, especially with regards to topics such as interfaith marriage, political activism, and influence on popular culture.
The political situation in the Middle East, especially the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has raised the profile of Jews, Judaism, and Zionism on campuses, spurring many on to study this subject for non-degree as well as for credits in obtaining a Bachelor of Arts or Master of Arts degree. A growing number of mature students are even obtaining Ph.D.s in Jewish studies judging by the quantity of courses and programs available. Many hope to obtain employment in the field of Jewish education or in Jewish communal service agencies.
Many Christians are searching for an understanding of the Jewish background for Jesus Christ and Christianity and for the source of monotheism that sprang from Judaism. There are those who are seeking an understanding of the complex and volatile relationship between Islam and Judaism. Others are searching for spirituality and philosophy and therefore seek classes in Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and Jewish philosophy. There are also those who have a genuine concern and attachment to modern Israel as Christian Zionists and therefore seek to learn more about the subjects related to their beliefs.
Jewish studies have been offered at universities around the world.[1] The following are only a few significant examples of places where Jewish studies are offered and flourish in an academic setting:
Albany, State University of New York[edit]
The Judaic Studies (JST) department[2] at UAlbany[3] offers undergraduate courses at elementary and advanced levels in Jewish history and culture, as well as Hebrew. Both a major and a minor in Judaic Studies are offered, as well as a minor in Hebrew[2]
Courses range from basic introductory courses on particular topics in Judaic studies to more advanced seminars where students can explore questions and ideas in more depth. Many of the courses, both upper- and lower-level courses, are cross-listed with other departments, providing students with exposure to different disciplinary methods. There are also opportunities for students to earn independent study credit through which they can work on an idea or question particular to their own interests, while also gaining valuable research and writing experience. Practicum credit may also be earned by assisting a professor in a course, and Internship credit is available through community service[4]
Qualified students also have the option of enrolling in the Honors Program to be considered for a BA in Judaic Studies with Honors upon successful completion of an honors thesis.[5]
Hebrew language classes are also available at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, and for students who are advanced in their language studies, Practicum and Independent study credit may also be earned.[6]
Students may also apply for department-sponsored scholarships to help further their educational goals.[7]
The Center for Jewish Studies, which is affiliated with the Judaic Studies department, sponsor several talks each semester, which are open to both the local, as well as academic communities, and include lectures and discussions by Jewish Studies scholars and writers.[8]
Many students also take advantage of the SUNY-wide Israel study program for a semester or a year, which is overseen by the Judaic Studies department and is open to everyone.[9]
American Jewish University[edit]
The American Jewish University, formerly the separate institutions University of Judaism and Brandeis-Bardin Institute, is a Jewish, non-denominational and highly eclectic institution. Its largest component is its Whizin Center for Continuing Education in which 12,000 students are enrolled annually in non-credit granting courses. A prominent program of the Center is the university's annual speaker series, featuring luminaries like Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Colin Powell, and other political and diplomatic leaders. AJU's academic division includes the College of Arts and Sciences, leading to a B.A. degree in majors such as Bioethics (pre-med), Business, Communication Arts & Advocacy, Jewish Studies, Political Science and Psychology. In addition, AJU offers graduate degrees through the Fingerhut School of Education, The David L. Lieber Graduate School, and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, a Conservative Jewish rabbinical seminary. AJU is host to two "think tanks," the Center for Israel Studies (CIS) and the Sigi Ziering Institute: Exploring the Ethical and Religious Implications of the Holocaust. Through the Brandeis-Bardin Institute, the University has oversight over Camps Ramah, Alonim, and Gan Alonim.
Bar-Ilan University[edit]

University of California-Berkeley[edit]
The University of California-Berkeley offers the Joint Doctoral Program in Jewish Studies (JDP) in collaboration with the Graduate Theological Union. Graduate Students in this interdisciplinary program pick one major and one minor period as well as a discipline. The JDP's strengths lie in its cutting-edge approaches to Hebrew and Yiddish literature, Rabbinics, cultural studies and critical theory. Professors and Graduate students with scholarly interest in Jewish Studies can be found across the Humanities.
Binghamton University[edit]
Binghamton University (SUNY) offers a major and a minor in Judaic Studies (JUST). The department offers two concentrations: 1) Jewish history and culture and 2) Hebrew language and literature. There are a wide variety of courses offered. The faculty members are prolific scholars and interested in diverse areas of Jewish studies. Internship credits are available.[16]
Brandeis University[edit]
The Lown School of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, one of the most comprehensive centers for Judaic studies outside Israel, reflects Brandeis University's special commitment to scholarship that illuminates issues of concern to the Jewish community, scholars in religion, and students of the ancient and modern Near East.

This interdisciplinary department brings scholars with a specific focus on Jewish Studies together with those from other Brown departments including history, political science, anthropology, and sociology. Faculty areas of focus include the Hebrew Language, Jewish Thought, Modern Hebrew and Jewish Literature, Ancient Judaism, Modern Jewish History, Biblical Studies, Rabbinics and Early Judaism, and Latin American Jewish Literature.[18]
Birobidzhan Jewish National University[edit]
The Birobidzhan Jewish National University works in cooperation with the local Jewish community of Birobidzhan. The university is unique in the Russian Far East. The basis of the training course is study of the Hebrew language, history and classic Jewish texts.[19]
In recent years, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast has grown interested in its Jewish roots. Students study Hebrew and Yiddish at a Jewish school and Birobidzhan Jewish National University. In 1989, the Jewish center founded its Sunday school, where children studyYiddish, learn folk Jewish dance, and learn about the history of Israel. The Israeli government helps fund the program.[20]
Columbia University[edit]
The Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University[21] remains one of the leading institutions in Jewish studies in the country and the world. Undergraduate enrollment in these courses has historically been robust and continues to grow. Columbia also offers a joint undergraduate degree with the Jewish Theological Seminary with which it is affiliated. Columbia is home to one of the most successful graduate programs in Jewish history and Yiddish studies outside of Israel, and its graduate program in Talmud and Judaism is world renowned.
Cornell University[edit]
The Program of Jewish Studies at Cornell University was founded as an extension of the Department of Semitic Languages and Literatures, now the Department of Near Eastern Studies, in 1973 and attained status as an intercollegiate program in 1976. The program has grown out of the conviction that Judaic civilization merits its own comprehensive and thorough treatment and that proper understanding of any culture is inconceivable without adequate knowledge of the language, literature, and history of the people that created it. Accordingly, the offerings in the areas of Jewish languages and literatures have been considerably expanded, and courses in ancient, medieval, and especially modern Jewish history and culture have been added to the program. It is a broadly based, interdisciplinary program, bringing together faculty from various Cornell departments and colleges. The scope of the Jewish Studies curriculum covers Jewish civilization from its ancient Near Eastern origins through its contemporary history and culture in Israel and the diaspora communities around the world. It is a secular, academic program, the interests of which are diverse and cross-cultural. The program recognizes its special relationship to teaching and research in classical Judaica and Hebraica pursued by the members of the Department of Near Eastern Studies. It presently enables students to obtain basic instruction and specialization in the fields of Semitic languages; the Hebrew Bible; medieval and modern Hebrew literature; ancient, medieval, and modern Jewish history; and Holocaust studies. In some of these fields students may take courses on both graduate and undergraduate levels. Faculty throughout the university provide breadth to the program by offering courses in related areas of study.[22]
Fairfield University[edit]
The Carl and Dorothy Bennett Center for Judaic Studies at Fairfield University was founded in 1994 with an initial endowment of $1.5 million from Carl and Dorothy Bennett of Greenwich, Connecticut. The Bennett Center's goal is to provide Fairfield University students exposure to and contact with Jewish ideas, culture, and thinking. For example, the Bennett Center has brought several world-renowned lecturers to the University, including Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel, Former Ambassador Dennis Ross, and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.[23]
Fairfield University also began offering an academic minor in Judaic Studies within the Religion Department beginning in 1996. The major objective of the Program in Judaic Studies is to provide a variety of courses that will deepen students' knowledge and understanding of Jewish faith, history, and culture. It seeks to integrate Judaic Studies into the curriculum of the Fairfield College of Arts and Sciences and to offer programs and special events of interest to the University community and to audiences drawn from the Fairfield County, Connecticut community.[24]
Since their inception, Dr. Ellen Umansky has served as both the Carl and Dorothy Bennett Professor of Judaic Studies and the Director of the Carl and Dorothy Bennett Center.[25]
The George Washington University[edit]
Through the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the Judaic Studies Program at The George Washington University offers students the ability to study in the proximity to some of the most influential Jewish and Jewish-related institutions in the United States.[26] Because of its location on the Foggy Bottom campus in downtown Washington, D.C., internships with organizations such as the American Jewish Committee, American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Embassy of Israel in Washington, the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum are not only easily accessible but also very common.
With study abroad connections at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, Ben Gurion University, and the University of Haifa there is also a strong emphasis in the program on learning Hebrew. Professors such as Max Ticktin, Eric H. Cline, Amitai Etzioni, Yaron Peleg, Lauren Strauss, Sergio Waisman, and Mark Saperstein are readily accessible to students and are considered some of the best experts in their field. For example, Dr. Eric H. Cline has appeared in many television documentaries for the National Geographic Channel, the Discovery Channel, the BBC, and the History Channel. Traveling professors such as Jacob Lassner have also taught courses at the program.
Due to its nearly location in downtown Washington, D.C. students also have access to the Library of Congress. The George Washington University's Gelman Library also hosts the I. Edward Kiev Collection, one of the largest Jewish academic archives on the East Coast.[27]
Harvard University[edit]
Harvard University was the first major American university to establish a department of Judaic Studies and appointed Dr. Harry Austryn Wolfson as the first head of department: The Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University is the focal point for the study and teaching of Judaica through publications, fellowships, lectures, and symposia on topics of interest to scholars and to the general public. The Center sponsors visiting scholars and post-doctoral research fellows and coordinates undergraduate and graduate studies on an interdisciplinary basis... Harvard was the first university in America to establish a Chair in Jewish Studies, the Nathan Littauer Professorship of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy (1925). Since then, Harvard's commitment to Jewish Studies has continued unabated, and its efforts to solidify and broaden the presence of this field in the curriculum ultimately resulted in the creation of Harvard's Center for Jewish Studies in 1978. The hope of the Harvard alumni, faculty and administration involved in this project was that the new Center would not only satisfy an unmistakable need for further growth within the University itself but would also benefit the study and teaching of Judaica throughout the country.[28]
Hebrew University of Jerusalem[edit]
The Institute of Jewish Studies of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem was established in 1924, a few months before the official opening of the university.[29] Widely considered to be the world's premier center of Jewish studies,[citation needed] the institute has includes eight teaching departments and 18 research institutes, oversees the publication of a wide variety of journals and periodicals and has student body of over 1200 students pursuing undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees in Jewish studies.

University College London[edit]
University College London (UCL) houses the largest department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies in Europe. The department is the only one in the UK to offer a full degree course and research supervision in Jewish Studies at the BA Honours, MA, MPhil and PhD levels in every subject of Hebrew and Jewish Studies—philology, history, and literature—covering virtually the entire chronological and geographical span of the Hebrew and Jewish civilisation from antiquity through the Middle Ages to the modern period. As the first university in England to open its doors to Women, Roman Catholics and Dissenters, UCL was also the first to admit Jewish students. This traditional link of the College with the Anglo-Jewish community is very much alive today. Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid (1778–1859), one of the leading figures in the struggle for Jewish emancipation in England, was among the principal founders of University College and the chief promotor of its Hebrew department. At his instigation, Hyman Hurwitz was appointed as the first Professor of Hebrew in 1828.

Our Nanny Broke Up With Us Over Text
January 9, 2012
© Sarah Preston Gorenstein
After more than two years with us, since Preston was three months old, our nanny quit on Saturday night—wait for it—over a text message. She sent my husband a text at 7:30 p.m. saying, simply, "Hi, Jay, just wanted to tell you I got a new job." A new job? Huh!? We didn't even know she was looking…totally blind-sided by this. After leaving my job at Playboy last month we had to reduce her hours a little and she said she was fine with it, and seemed very understanding. I felt terrible about it and let her know that it had nothing to do with her, and we'd do everything we could to be fair, including giving her two week's notice (as in, I gave her a two week head's up before reducing her hours). I also made sure she knew we wanted to give her as many hours as we could to keep her gainfully employed (extra babysitting, extended days when possible, housekeeping once a week), until I got more freelance work or a full-time job. She said she wanted to stay on with us because she loves Preston, and was very happy working for us. So we moved ahead with our new schedule two weeks ago and I thought things were going great…
She even asked me if I would put him in a soccer class for the winter that her nanny friends from the neighborhood were taking their kids to, just blocks away…so I happily signed him up, paid the fee, bought the uniform, and canceled a different class I already had him enrolled in that conflicted with the time. He started soccer last week and LOVES it. But what's worse, the new family she's working for lives in our little neighborhood! So he will inevitably see her. And she also asked us if we minded if she started with her new family this Monday (as in TODAY). Ummm, hell yeah I mind. This Monday? I gave her the courtesy of a two week head's up when I was simply reducing her hours; I expected the same courtesy from her. So that's exactly what we told her… She agreed to continue working for us for another two weeks, thankfully, while I look for help, but I still find it disturbing that Preston is going to have to see her around the neighborhood, at the park, at soccer (unless I can cancel it), etc., with a group of kids he's developed friendships with—kids he talks about all the time. He will notice her absence, obviously, and then to see her taking care of another child? It will confuse and hurt him. He loves her like she's a part of our family—because she has been his whole life. She's worked for us full time for more than two years, during which she saw him more than I even did. Obviously they have an incredibly close bond, or so I thought. I was very surprised that she would even want to start with the new family this soon, and not even say goodbye to Preston? That part hurt me more than anything.
Despite issues we've had with her in the past, she has always taken amazing care of our son. Our lives will be deeply affected by this, but in my heart I know it's probably a blessing in disguise. Though I'm not currently working full time, I am freelancing a lot now and hoping to pick up more work, plus have doctor appointments every other day, and other things going on that I need time (and energy) to focus on. I was so not prepared for this—I mean, up until a month ago I was a full-time working mom and dedicated career woman! Suddenly my life has done a 180.
But perhaps this is also a sign: Maybe now is a good time to enroll him in preschool, which I originally planned on doing when he turned 3 (since I had a full-time nanny). The question is, can I find a school with a mid-year opening. And do I get help in the meantime, or wait for an opening, or both? I might do a combination of part-time preschool and a part-time sitter. Decisions, decisions! He's 2 years and 5 months now; I think he'll love preschool once we get through the transition. I know that won't be easy but at least I'm not working full time right now, so I'm around to help get him through it (unlike our attempt at daycare at this exact time last year, which was a giant fail, remember?). My other big dilemma is whether I enroll him in half or full days...the schools I'm looking into offer either but not both. So if I start him in a half-day program now, and switch him to a full-day program next year when he's 3, that'll mean switching schools and another hard transition for him (and me!). Not ideal.
So my new goal for the new year is spending the next couple of weeks, while I still have help, researching schools and also finding part-time help. As well as squeezing in as many errands, doctor appointments and work as I can! My parents just returned from Arizona (where they're conveniently living part time now), so at least I have my mom here for backup when I need it—very grateful for that. (Hint!)
What's the worst nanny or sitter breakup you've ever had? How long did it take your kids to recover from it? How long until YOU recovered from it? I'm worried that all these changes happening at once will negatively affect Preston—Mommy's home more now, which is a good thing, but it's also been a big adjustment for both of us. The only nanny he's ever known is leaving our family in two weeks (but still kind of hanging around); and he might be starting preschool soon. That's a lot for a little one to adjust to at once, don't you think? Any advice on how to talk to Preston about all of this? Once she's gone and he starts asking about her, how do you tell that face (above) that "Nani" went bye-bye?
Update: I just had my first face-to-face conversation with her since she dropped this bomb on us over the weekend, and she let me know that she's making the same amount of money with her new family, but the woman is pregnant with her second child and due in September so she's been guaranteed a raise. As much as I understand this is a business decision, that extra piece of info kind of stung a little—she knows everything I've been going through and all she's ever said is that she can't wait till I have another baby (she was hoping I'd have two more!). Ouch.
In other news: This is my last blog for the Parenting Post (sniff). It's been an incredibly rewarding experience blogging about being a new (and overwhelmed) working mom, ever since Preston was only five months old—I can't believe it's been two years. But I have great news to share: Beginning next week I'll be blogging three times a week for the Fertility Files. I hope you'll join me over there as I chronicle my personal journey trying to conceive baby no. 2 and going through secondary infertility.
If you want to keep up with my adventures in parenting, I'm also blogging over at www.thecosmomom.com. Follow me on Twitter @spgorenstein and on Facebook at Sarah Preston Gorenstein. Thanks for reading my blog these past two years—I've been reading your comments and taking your advice to heart, so please keep the comments coming—I love hearing from you!

Colibri.2 The LED Light Source for Fluorescence Microscopy that is Gentle on Your Samples
With the Colibri.2 choose out of 13 LEDs to cover the complete standard spectrum from UV to dark red. Adjust each illumination intensity depending on the sensitivity of the sample. The narrow-band illumination reduces crossstimulation, increasing the sensitivity of your images. There's no UV leakage of the sort you encounter with filter-based systems with and conventional white light sources like HBOs. Profit from an excellent signal-background ratio for imaging. Thanks to the high dynamic range of the images you detect the finest details.
Colibri.2 Highlights
• Complex Images – Adjusted in Microseconds: Switch on or off each LED. Continuously adjust their intensity in just microseconds. Direct the process via a control panel or the system control software. Or use an integrated trigger function to synchronize the imaging process for real-time applications. Achieve complex images for investigating the fastest processes in a way that's simple and easy to reproduce.
• Optimum Results - LED-optimized Filters and Direct Coupling Increase Sensitivity: Colibri.2 uses a coupled light source that ensures homogeneous illumination at the same time. Achieve the desired narrow spectral bandwidth for any examination using additional filters. Profit from the ideal match of the LED spectrum to the filter set. From single band to quad band filters. Fibre optics that are susceptible to wear are now a thing of the past.
• Low Cost Light Source – Reliable Long Life LEDs: Long-life LEDs keep running costs low. Do away with the tiresome job of changing and adjusting high-pressure lamps (HBO/XBO/).

IN EFFECT UNTIL MAR 13, 12:00 a.m.
issued for Anderson
Yes, HadEnough, I will take your advice since I'm clearly the one in need of a life. Excuse me while I go back to reading your critiques of Anderson County politicians. Riveting material that I haven't seen a million times before, but after tonight, will never see again.
I suppose a comment like that is what you mean Maddog when you say the good people will be left here to comment because of the new AIM policy??? AIM, you can have it, lol. Sheez louise....anways, cremate the guy and send his remains to the family.
People don't want to use their real names because there are people out there that are insane. There is no way I would use my real name on here in the name of "I stand behind my comments." I'm pretty sure there are some mentally unbalanced people on here that would take the time to figure out who I am or other people are that they disagree with because they seem to have the free time and nothing else better to do. In the end, like its already been pointed out, the Greenville News did the same thing years ago, and I imagine it cleaned up their comments section to some degree because it was just like here. Name calling, insults, threats, etc. etc....I don't blame the AIM for doing this. Maybe it will force some people to get a life, and besides, there is already a place for most of the commenters here and its called the Fox News website.
Medic....what part of this do you not understand? Zimmerman called and was ADVISED not to follow Martin, to let police show up and do their job and confront Martin and figure out what was up with him. Zimmerman didn't do that. He took it upon himself to confront/continue to follow Martin and its very possible Martin acted exactly in the way your loud, tough sounding butt is acting. He decided to confront Zimmerman because that is what some people do when non-cops not identifying why they are following you continue to follow. "You might just go find out" why that person is following you and what their problem is. I think Martin did that with no idea Zimmerman had a gun on him ready to use if things got out of hand i.e. Martin starting whupping his rear end, which he did. Zimmerman should have let real cops do the job and everyone comes out of this alive. Just amazing the ignorance of some of you folks....just embarrassing.
Thank you, Elva Martin. You provided me with one heck of a laugh!
And Autoguy, why don't you join this century and this country and coalesce under the flag of the United States and your state flag? I could very easily read a book about the "real" history of the Confederate flag and all it would do is be a history lesson for me, but nothing that would change my mind about it flying on govn't grounds or thinking ignorant rednecks and racists are 90% of the time the ones hiding it behind NOW, in this time period, the one that matters, not the time period 150 something years ago. It doesn't scare me. It is embarrassing.
MyTwoSense....give it up. Autoguy will never get what you are saying when you say the flag has been used as a symbol of hate. He doesn't view the Klan or anyone else using it as symbols of hate, but just people with a different opinion of race relations, lol. I'm sure he will equate the NAACP with the Klan next to totally still not get the point being made about the Confederate flag over the last 100 years, not the Civil War time.
No gambling in S.C. is the church's way of saying they don't think people can protect themselves from their self. The churches are the only reason it remains illegal. And ironically, most of the Holy Rollers are all about the govn't staying out of people's business except when it comes to health and personal decisions like this. Save them, govn't! Save them! Jesus alone can't do it! Keep gambling illegal! Bonzai!!
Martin confronted an idiot, kept it real, and lost his life because of it. I'm sure Martin had no idea whupping up on some overzealous punk following him around (against a 911 operator's orders) would get him shot and killed. If some guy was following me around for no reason, I too would probably have to fight the feeling off of walking up and asking the guy what his problem was.
And what Adams is looking for is the hoodie picture, poses, and posturing to go along with Martin's known marijuana use so that the country gets a more fuller understanding of why he should have been shot, lol. The "child" pictures just don't do it. You gotta get the "thug" pictures out to the country.
Like UptownGirl said, leave the non state or United States flags off of govn't buildings. They are not needed there, nor are appropriate. We are the United States of America, and sorry ArcLight, but just like the rednecks and racists that for the most part took over the Confederate flag, the Tea Party has hijacked the Don't Tread on Me Flag, which is a shame because it is a cool looking flag. It just doesn't belong on govn't buildings, though, just like the Confederate flag. This is 2013.
Lee Bright..once again. Sweet fancy Moses....somebody shut this guy up.
If the kid wore the shirt right back to school the next day, and is trying to debate a teacher on the 2nd Amendment, then I rest my case. Just a punk trying to stir trouble up with the guiding hand of his troublemaking parents behind him encouraging him. "Son, don't take that. Stand up for your rights and wear it again!" Kid probably makes F's, but knows every single thing there is about firearms. Another wonderful contribution to America's future.
Two idiots. And they will probably procreate again before its all over.
Go easy on her, Pink. Alcohol at one time or another has brought out the monster in just about everybody. Luckily, they didn't kill anybody. Find the article on the 3 Doors Down musician that over the weekend wasn't so lucky.
It is possible the kid is disrespectful, Smiley, because he is getting direct orders from momma and daddy to do what he is doing. I don't see anywhere where it says he wore the shirt again after being told not to wear it, but I can completely see that happening.
Not true....Diesel at the Dodge's Store in Easley, by the old Wal Mart location is at 3.43 for cash. Get with it AIM! Don't you disparage the great city of Easley!
It all goes back to Obama with you folks. Always. Very frightening. As though you knuckledraggers are the ones always thinking for yourselves. Most of you don't have a clue what to do with yourselves unless its something mumma and deddy told you or the preacher.
Used to love hearing my Grandpa's WW2 stories....those guys really are a special generation.
Yes, MyTwoSense, people do. It comes in pretty handy. Worth 3 bucks for using the entire road? Sometimes, sometimes not.
Poor guy. Probably dealt some herb to an idiot that got arrested, and the guy rolled on him to save his skin. And the Drug War marches on one useless arrest after another...
Very weak, Autoguy. You usually come up with way more creative, deviant, and devious ways to deal with criminals. Very weak...bordering on disappointed.
Alcohol.....the greatest truth serum ever. No need to be embarrassed, hun. You were just saying what you really think.
She brings up a good point. She is an American and she is standing on U.S. ground. I remember that same game being played by this idiotic punk kid in my neighborhood who would stand on the edge of my yard and tell me he could stand there because that's the "city's property, not mine", and then proceed to loiter around. I always enjoyed kicking his butt after that and watching him run to his Grandmother for help. Good times.
One thing not mentioned in this article is the kid had the shirt on for five periods before being told in a lunch line by a teacher to turn it inside out or change. He didn't and the actual "I'm exercising my right to free speech" line came in when he was arguing with the cop and the cop was telling him to zip it. I agree with ArcLight's point, but if the case is the kid had the shirt on pretty much most of the schoolday before a offended teacher decided to take action, then the school had already dropped the ball on this.
Read a school manual on dress codes, Truth. If you want to argue whether or not dress codes at schools are un-American or un-Constitutional, then feel free, but under the current rules, especially in these times, it is pretty clear what the kid, and more likely an adult in his household, is trying to get across, and disrupts the school process, therefore giving the school the legal right to tell him to remove it. There are PLENTY of things the kid could have had on his shirt that would have caused the same response. Sorry that your head is too firmly planted up the GOP anus to get that....and I'm not sure where your buddy Gunlessnot is going with that rant. Enjoy your next militia meeting!
Some idiotic parent sending their kid off to a school with a pat on the back and a "You stand up for yourself if one of those libbies tries to tell you to take that off!" Well done by the school...they know what the issues going on right now and Che Guevera isn't one of them.
Yup, MikeS. Right up there in the list of Best Ironies of All Time was the ACLU defending a pill popping doctor shopping Rush Limbaugh who he himself had declared drug users should be locked up and the key thrown away! I guess he meant only the illegal drug users, not the doctor shopping pill poppers.
Looks like our guys and gals are hard at work for us, the citizens of S.C. Can we get a Toby Keith Bobblehead Day next?
TRUTH...without a doubt, you guys are at the top of your program history. What other time are you supposed to point to as watershed years? The couple of Black Magic-Morrison years? I would post the THIS IS CAROLINA FOOTBALL manifesto that explains just how pathetic the football program has been up to the last few years, but I'll spare the uninformed Kerolina fans the pain of having to read that, and heck, they probably wouldn't believe it anyways. I think clearly barring injury this year's game comes down to what it has been the last 4 to 6 years. Can Clemson's defense get the Gamecock offense off the field instead of the focus being all about what the Clemson O can do against the Gamecock defense? Until Clemson's D answers that dilemma or the Gamecock defense wilts to a point where it doesn't matter, Clemson is going to have trouble winning.
64-41-4, Billy the Kid, but you guys enjoy this little 4 game streak you've put together. We've done that so many times to you guys we've never felt the need to brag about it or have an awards celebration about it. The old Coot fans understand this. These younger fans, however, a little more cocky and idiotic about the 4 game streak...but concerning this actual article, a real stupid thing to do.
"I think this was a coordinated attack, likely triggered by cell phone."
That is your above statement that I originally responded to. Maybe you forgot the NOT part. I don't know. I don't care. Please feel free to carry on with your conspiracy theories about what NBC is doing. You seem to be watching them closely for such an ill informed news channel.
I'll take the used car salesman over Lee Bright anyday. You want to put the crazy in Lindsay's seat? Put Bright in and watch crazy embarrassing moments come in droves. But yeah, this Cash fella is pretty darn right wing, too, and used to co-own his used car/ice cream truck business with a real scumbag. I don't know anything about the female Citadel graduate.
GE....they have already stated these types of bombs aren't triggered by cell phones, but more likely by a timer of some sort. Try to keep up instead of trying to figure out which news organization is duping the American people.
Just Susan puts forth another vote for teen pregnancy is about these smart kids taking on the responsibility of raising a baby as a means to get taxpayer money out of Susan's cold hands, lol......so the solution? Equate welfare to "promoting pregnancy" and cut off benefits to the mother, therefore cutting off benefits to the baby. Republicans, the masters of caring about babies until the moment they exit the womb, and then they are on their own. Those infants need to get a job and stop living off my tax money! Da bums! Probably using my money to buy baby cigarettes or tons of apple juice to feed their habit!
That is a good thing, CalCal, for people who don't have those "responsible and caring" parents at home that I guess you assume everyone has and are there to give them the sex speech. I applaud the school for breaking out the banana and getting the message/education to some souls that probably needed it a lot more than others. Like BUMPINGGUM mentioned, a lot of teens too afraid to talk to their parents got a well needed lesson, and those include the kids of those perfect two parent homes.
I saw it. Good film, but I would sum it up by saying it is essentially a snapshot of different racist moments during different games over a two year period mixed in with strolls with his wife or conversations with Branch Rickey assuring him to stay the course. The only thing I would say negatively about it, as some other reviews have pointed out, is I'm still not sure I learned exactly what made Jackie tick, what got him to be the man he was before the year or two leading up to the MLB debut. Mr. Bozeman and Harrison Ford did a great job, though. Two thumbs up (in honor of Mr. Ebert).
No, MyTwoSense. You didn't get the memo. According to another brain numbing morning of reading the AIM comments, girls aren't "taking care of things", but instead having babies to get a few hundred more dollars out of the taxpayers hands. Very ingenius these kids today....always thinking.
The war is over, sir. The war is over if you want it to be. I wonder when they broke out the lesson on the proper way to hang an insubordinate slave, like the way their great great grandpappys used to?
It is the businesses that seek out the illegal workers that continue to be the real problem here. Illegal immigrants wouldn't be here if a main part of the reason wasn't someone has told them work is easy to find, thus they come here for a better opportunity and businesses are all too happy to put them to work at prices Americans long ago decided they were too good for and would rather just live off of unemployment or disability. It is your own fault lazy Americans. Don't blame the illegals.
Agree, Starflyer. There are plenty of people here that should try their hand at writing the next Hostel script, or Saw, or maybe Human Centipede if anyone knows about that movie. Lots of creativity from these mild mannered Andersonians when it comes to different ways a person can be killed....
A win for common sense. It will never cease to amaze me the ease at which people like Bryant argue and fight for all sorts of govn't non intrusion when it comes to some matters, and then full scale Gestapo like intrusion with other matters. This guy is such a d-bag.
"People that can't wait a reasonable amount of time to purchase a gun are exactly the kind of people that need to wait a reasonable time to get their gun." Unknown comedian
Someone get this lady to an abortion clinic ASAP.
If people drove normal when they see cops on the interstate, then what you three are saying would make perfect sense. Instead, what happens is people slam their brakes on, drive way slower than needed because I guess they think cops are pulling people over for driving the actual speed limit, and in general disrupt the entire flow of the interstate traffic. Cops aren't looking to pull over people driving 5 to 10 miles over the speed limit unless there is something else about the vehicle the cop wants to check out i.e. it fits a profile that leads them to believe other stuff may be going on.
Niblits....that is exactly the situation I was trying to explain to Comitia. Just move out of the way and let the truck go on by, regardless of what lane it is and let him/her and you go on with life and a safe trip.
Fine then, Comitia. Maybe you will make a pretty corpse one day for your,"I ain't movin', dangit. He can just ride my bumper. I ain't movin'!" attitude. You are just a plain idiot if you have an option of ending the situation with a tailgating truck, but instead out of spite choose to keep the situation going, and that works for the truck driver, too. Just move or end up being a hood ornament. The choice is yours.
PaladinSC......couldn't disagree with you more. When it comes down to it, statistics show truck drivers are rarely at fault when it comes to accidents with "four wheelers". It is usually something stupid the four wheeler does that the massive rig has no time to react to. I think the fairer statement to be made would be there are tons of impatient, rude drivers on ALL the roads today, from interstates to backroads, and they come in the form of cars and big rigs. And I don't know why somebody that states they are driving ABOVE the posted speed limit on I-85 feels it necessary to blame the truck driver for how he is driving. Being in the way is being in the way, so move. Either get out of the left lane, or find your way briefly from the right lane over to the left lane, let the d-bag truck driver riding your bumper go past, and then go back to the right lane. Folks like yourself is what slows down the entire interstate. "I am in my lane. I am driving above the speed limit and I will not move. So there!" So annoying...you have tons of people behind you. Move.
Mbamike.....if I were going the Bryant route, I definitely would target fat people long before smokers. Fat people who also smoke should have their own place to hang out. Oh, they do. It is the disability check office.
That crossed my mind, Medic. I assume log books and all that stuff was looked at. 5 AM could have been the beginning of his day or he was dead tired from driving for awhile. I would say 4 to 6 AM is easily the worst time to be driving if you are exhausted and trying to make it to sunrise. Just brutal.
Niblits......The truck driver stated the deceased suddenly slammed on his brakes. The interesting thing is this section of 85 is three lanes, and its 5 in the morning. Noone is on I-85 at 5 in the morning. I find it hard to believe the truck driver found it impossible to get around this car, regardless of what the car driver did. Something was going on.

Even sole-source bids are subject to bargaining
Defense Department officials have told acquisition employees to fight for lower prices on contracts, even when there's only one bidder.
In an April 27 memo, DOD officials gave more guidance to their acquisition offices on bargain for lower prices, as the department aims for more competition and lower spending in general. One area to find that savings is by negotiating lower prices from a contractor.
The initiative started last November, when defense officials told contracting officers to cancel a solicitation if it's been in the market for less than 30 days and only one bid has come in. After the cancellation, they have to send out another solicitation for an additional month. If there's still only one bidder, the contracting officer has to work to get a lower price than proposed.
Game changer: DOD rewrites its book on acquisition strategy
Instead, Assad wants officers to make sure the final price, which both sides agree to, is fair and reasonable in and of itself. He tells them to do careful analysis of the price and cost. Then the government needs to bring their analyses to the negotiating table to discuss pricing. Read the Federal Acquisition Regulation on contract pricing.
However, the new order means finalizing contracts will take more time, despite overly busy acquisition offices.
"I recognize that implementation of this policy may have the unintended consequence of increasing the contracting community's workload, but given today's scarcity of resources we need to ensure effective competition to the maximum extent possible," Assad wrote at the end of the memo.
DOD officials have been under heavy pressure to make spending cuts. In 2010, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Ashton Carter, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, logistics, and technology, issued a 23-point memo on acquisition reforms.
Competition for contracts is one of the key points of Gates and Carter's reforms, along with controlling growth in costs, improving acquisition workforce's know-how of buying services, and launching affordable projects.

This multiple reopening of RFPs is not the answer. One only has to look to the R23G Contract to see this cost-savings effort is not working. Contractors will market their work to less administratively cumbersome vehicles. There are other ways to be competitive and still enable contractor's to maintain a talented workforce with fair and reasonable benefits and profit. They need to re-think this option and not create a beauractic adminstrative mess that can't support a solicitation in a timely manner.
This does seem like an unusual requirement, but there is collusion in the market to drive prices up. The value of what is needed has to be examined in relation to bids, and if it is not there, cancel the request and wait a while (when possible). This is not the time for "nice to have" procurements...especially if the attitude by the contractors is that they can go above market prices because it is the government that is buying (using other peoples money [taxpayers]) and the contracting officials don't really care. This attitude on both sides of the deal has to be stopped. In addition, agencies need to move their contracting budgets to staffing budgets wherever possible. That will create the most overall savings in the long run. You don't need contractors opening mail or doing basic IT maintenance or cooking chow for the troops when a federal employee or soldier can be doing the same thing.
a bit off topic, but looking at the reg how can anyone possibly manage or audit to that chaos. Is it any wonder contracts are overpaid? Pitiful. It's a process - clarify and simplify it for efficiency and effectiveness.
More of this administration's not understanding the terrain in which they operate... "We'll just bully them into giving us what we want." If only the same mentality applied to the foreign affairs sphere.
We assume DOD did just that on the new Boeing Tanker fleet. Yeah sure they will bully small businesses because the big firms have legions of lawyers to fight back.

Gwinnett Daily Post
Region 8-AAAAA football coaches have been paying much closer attention to the 7-AAAAA standings this year than usual. And vice versa.
With those two regions going head-to-head in the first round of the state playoffs Nov. 14, the coaches have tracked the other region's standings to see possible playoff matchups. But going into Friday's games, not much has been settled. It's particularly interesting in 7-AAAAA, where Peachtree Ridge hosts North Gwinnett for the region championship. It would be the first region title for either school, but also would be the Lions' first-ever win over North. "For us seniors, it's the biggest game ever for us," Peachtree Ridge noseguard Chris Carroll said. "We want to win region. We've never done that in school history, so it's the biggest game so far." Peachtree Ridge can't slip any worse than a No. 2 seed for the playoffs, so its home playoff game is guaranteed, win or lose. The same isn't true for the Lions' opponent. A North loss and a Collins Hill victory over Norcross on Friday would drop the Bulldogs into a tie for second place with Collins Hill. In the event of that tie, a coin toss between North and Collins Hill would determine the No. 2 seed. If Norcross wins Friday, it would earn the No. 3 seed and drop Collins Hill to No. 4 in Region 7-AAAAA, a spot that both would like to avoid since it means a matchup with unbeaten 8-AAAAA champion Grayson. Grayson is the only team locked into a playoff seed in its region, while the remaining three teams hinge on the outcome of Friday's Brookwood-Parkview game. The victor of the Five Forks-Trickum rivalry earns the No. 2 seed and a home playoff game. A loss drops Brookwood to the No. 3 spot, but a Parkview loss likely would send the Panthers back to a No. 4 seed if favored Dacula wins at Meadowcreek. But for Brookwood and Parkview, the stakes are clear in a rivalry with plenty of tradition. "You want to get that home (playoff) game," Brookwood head coach Mark Crews said. "It's so much easier to be at home and have your home environment. Then you don't have to travel across the county and all that." In Class AA, Friday's Buford-Greater Atlanta Christian game has playoff implications. While No. 1 Buford has locked up the 6-AA title, GAC could clinch a playoff spot with an upset win. The Spartans also could sneak into the playoffs if Westminster defeats Blessed Trinity on Friday. Staff writer Brandon Brigman contributed to this story.More like this story

December 10, 2001 SMU INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS TO LEAD CHRISTMAS CAROLING DALLAS (SMU) -- Carrying candles, lanterns and a tall silver star, Southern Methodist University international students will sing traditional Christmas carols door-to-door along University Boulevard on Thursday, Dec. 20, inviting the neighbors to join the caroling. The students will assemble at 6:30 p.m. by the large Christmas tree in front of Dallas Hall to begin the caroling excursion, recreating some of the traditions in many of the international students homelands. In Romania and many Eastern European countries, Christmas Eve is celebrated with carolers dressed in folklore costumes who go door-to-door entertaining their fellow villagers with songs and special greetings. The international students will end the evening of caroling by assembling for a Christmas party at Selecman Hall, 5905 Bishop Blvd., where they will warm up with hot chocolate and Christmas dancing. Neighbors who would like to join them should bring a treat to share. The event is sponsored by the Organization of International Students, which has members from 90 countries. For more information, contact the SMU International Office at (214) 768-4476. |
