College Students Not Gaining Critical Thinking Skills

- 2011 Jan 20
An unprecedented study that followed several thousand undergraduates through four years of college found that large numbers didn't learn the critical thinking, complex reasoning and written communication skills that are widely assumed to be at the core of a college education.
Many of the students graduated without knowing how to sift fact from opinion, make a clear written argument or objectively review conflicting reports of a situation or event, according to New York University sociologist Richard Arum, lead author of the study. The students, for example, couldn't determine the cause of an increase in neighborhood crime or how best to respond without being swayed by emotional testimony and political spin.
Forty-five percent of students made no significant improvement in their critical thinking, reasoning or writing skills during the first two years of college, according to the study. After four years, 36 percent showed no significant gains in these so-called "higher order" thinking skills.
Combining the hours spent studying and in class, students devoted less than a fifth of their time each week to academic pursuits. By contrast, students spent 51 percent of their time — or 85 hours a week — socializing or in extracurricular activities.
The study also showed that students who studied alone made more significant gains in learning than those who studied in groups.

While there's been no official announcement yet, a new reports suggests Pippa Middleton's engagement news is not only imminent, but that the bride-to-be has already chosen a location for the wedding — the Scottish Highlands.
Middleton, younger sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has been dating banker Nico Jackson for some time and speculation about a wedding has been rampant since the summer.
And according to an anonymous source quoted in the Daily Mail, Middleton has already made up her mind about the site of the as-yet-to-be-announced nuptials.
"There was some talk of Pippa hunting out suitable wedding venues on her next trip to Scotland. Nico loves the country, too — he thinks its beautiful — but when it comes to wedding planning, he'll leave that to Pippa. He will go along with whatever she wants," the source to the Mail. "And what she wants at the moment is a wedding in the Scottish Highlands."
Scotland might be a possibility given that Middleton, who recently turned 30, attended post-secondary school there, at the University of Edinburgh.
No word on whether Middleton or Jackson plan to wear kilts. Middleton, a tennis fan, has previously written in Vanity Fair that "if I had to get married, it would be in my tennis whites — shorts with no pleats or frills."

A quick question for any KD that sells Dynasty Cabinets
I'm getting conflicting answers and figure that I could get a straight answer on this site. Is the beaded inset Renner door style available with a 5pc drawer head? Thanks
For inset, the 5PCF (5 piece reversed raised panel) is available for $47 per drawer front, list. (Remember that your designer discounts from list, and that's not what you'd actually pay.)The top drawer will be slab, as the minimum for a 5PCF drawer is 7 1/4" in this door style because it is a wide stile door.
For inset, you can also do a profiled 5/4" slab drawer (IODF, no upcharge) that adds additional visual interest to the drawer profile. It's what I chose for my vignette in the Milena doorstyle. It's less busy visually than a 5pc drawer front, but it's not just plain slab either. It's minimum drawer size to be used is 4 13/16", so it's perfect for adding that oomph to inset where you have the much narrower drawer panels fitting inside the face frame.
Thanks live_wire_oak . I really appreciate the help. I need to stop back in one of the showrooms where I thought I saw a renner vanity. I could swear it was a combined vanity with drawers on the side which had 5 pc drawer heads including the top drawer. It's possible it was another brand since I've looked at so many.
Again, thanks for your answer. I wish the kd's around my area were as helpful as you.

In January 2011, in Cairo's Tahrir Square, a group of strangers sparked a revolution. Basem, an apolitical middle-class architect, jeopardized the lives of his family when he seized the chance to improve his country. Moaz, a contrarian Muslim Brother, defied his own organization to join the opposition.
These revolutionaries had little more than their idealism with which to battle the secret police, the old oligarchs, and a power-hungry military determined to keep control.
In Once Upon A Revolution: An Egyptian Story, Thanassis Cambanis tells the story of the dreamers who brought Egypt to the brink of freedom, and the dark powerful forces that—for the time being—stopped them short.
Yesterday's violent protests in Egypt and Libya that led to the deaths of four U.S. State Department diplomats, including U-S Ambassador Chris Stevens, in the Libyan city of Benghazi were spurred in-part by a film that portrayed the Islamic Prophet Muhammad as a fraud and a womanizer.
This isn't the first time those in Middle East have taken up arms against those who ridicule their pre-dominant religion, but it is one of only a few times in modern history that American diplomats have been killed as a result of protests.

Handcrafted Kids Footwear from Chapter 2
1 Dec
If there is anything I love to shop for (besides toys) it's bags and shoes and I don't mind spending a few dimes more on those two. I always felt good shoes are the most important part of the wardrobe for both kids and adults.
I found out about Chapter 2 via Bayccino Kids and it was love at first sight. It's a completely new shoe brand for kids, established by a husband and wife duo and this is their very first collection. Fay is the designer and her husband Tom is the one that hand makes all the shoes in their very own in-house workshop in London! Isn't that just the coolest thing you've heard? I wish my husband an I had such talents.
Since all of their shoes are handcrafted, their stock is very (very!) limited – all models come in one per size and when they're gone, they are GONE!
Tila has been asking me to buy her matching boots for such a long time now and the Balmoral look a lot like mine (just like about one hundred times cooler) but I have been thinking about getting them for her a few moments too long and now her size is gone! Gone (sob!)! Lesson learned!

Inspired by her love for the Finger Lakes and the bioregional maps of the Pacific Northwest, author/designer/originator Sandy Wold envisioned this project following her graduate studies at SUNY Cortland where she specialized her studies in bioregionalism and wrote her thesis on how to integrate sustainability education into New York State standards and public education. This project was sponsored by the Center for Environmental Sustainability (CES) and supported by a small grant from the Alternatives Federal Credit Union.
The Cayuga Basin Bioregion Map (c2002), a region defined by its unique local flora and fauna, geology, and weather. Many thanks for the generous logistical support of Wally Woods, retired corporate facilitator and cofounder of the CES, and thanks to the beautiful watercolor artwork of Camille Doucet. Located in the Finger Lakes region in Central New York, the Cayuga Basin Bioregion is actually a subwatershed of the Oneida watershed and is further distinguished by its unique geologic formations, natural history, seasonal cycles, local economy, and historic sites (e.g., indigenous peoples, the Underground Railroad, and the Women's Suffrage Movement, ...).
POSTERS AVAILABLE for sale by request and in Ithaca, NY: Wegmans, Autumn Leaves, Buffalo Books, the Sciencenter, Cayuga Nature Center, and the Paleontological Research Institution. Also, ask about fundraising opportunities available to sell posters to benefit local youth projects and trips.

Howdy. I'm fairly new to the game, decided to download it since I can't play DotA online. My friend got me into the concept and I had fun attempting to take him down with me two headed purple dragon of awesomesauce AoE.
That aside, I was wondering which hero one would suggest I buy first? I was using Annie last week and doing reasonably well. Just now I tried a bot match with Janna and thoroughly enjoyed using her, though I've also heard good things about Ashe.
I'm at a loss as to who I should buy first, honestly. At this point in time, since I haven't been able to trial Ashe, I'm thinking Janna. Will she continue to be a good champ, assuming I use her well?
While I'm at it, what items would you suggest buying for Janna (seeing as I'll be using her to farm points this week)?
Thanks in advance for the help =)
Edit: Forgot to mention, I tried a quick search and didn't find a great deal. Would be much appreciated if you could link me to a thread with the info I need!
Janna is one of my favorite champions and she stays viable at all levels of play. Theres a few ways of playing her, personally I roll a combo of AP and CD reduction items and she is also a good carrier of aura items as she is hard to kill.
A good resource for guides and such on champions is the thread linked below from the guides and strategy forums.
As to who you want to buy first, I'm not sure. My first champion purchase was fiddlesticks I think, but its just a matter of preference.
The Necron
suggest if u want to learn someoneto play forever pick ashe or if u want to learnsomeone quick by soraka
It comes down to your playstyle really. Do you like dealing lots of dps? Do you like to cause opponents to throw their keyboards out the window because you keep disrupting teamfights, saving teammates, or just being a generally supporting champ? Or perhaps you like to laugh in people's face as you soak up damage and disrupt everything.
From what I can tell, if you enjoyed Annie and Janna, casters may be a good start for you. Janna is an amazing support and can be a very reliable champion for her team if played well.
Ashe is extremely easy to pick up though. Just have to learn how to land her ultimate right.
Try out any free champions you haven't fiddled with in a bot game or two and check out some guides; if you get a handle on 'em, try them in a non-bot practice game. Once you can survive contact with live players, jump into MM. If that isn't totally disastrous and you're still having fun, you should probably look into unlocking them!
Janna is very viable at all tiers of gameplay, but as support, you won't be carrying games all by yourself very often. She isn't a bad choice to main, since especially at lower tiers of gameplay, support is a role often neglected in a field of carrys.
If you want some very easy to use champions that are also viable all the way up the skill chain, Ashe is a great ranged carry and Annie is a great caster.
If you find you like support and want someone a little easier to use than Janna, Soraka is very good and very easy to use.
If you want to try out a tank, Shen is one of the strongest in the game right now, and not super difficult to use.
While LoL and DotA are not exactly the same, there are a lot of champions that bear more than a passing resemblance to heroes from DotA. Blitzcrank is a good example: he's kinda like Pudge, with the hook and an AoE blast. Tristana has the Sand King's minion-kill splash damage, Cho'Gath has Tiny's ability to grow bigger and tougher with his ult, and Axe's Culling Blow can be seen in both Cho'Gath's feast and more recently Garen's Damacian Justice.
It really all comes down to the type of heroes you like; I liked strength heroes from DotA, so I was drawn to folks like Jax, Mundo, Blitzcrank, etc. Consider what you like and find the champs that fit that; that's who you should buy.
I would start with Ashe. She costs 450 I believe, and she's viable to use at all levels of play. The cheap champions are suppose to be easier to play. Really, you should try playing each and every champion. You'll find that you naturally gravitate towards certain ones.
For solo Q, you'll want tanks and carries.
Dont be fooled by Kayle's 450 price and recommended tag. She is very difficult to play right.
Ashe (other other 450) is your drow ranger with a skillshot arrow. Highly recommended for begginers as you practice with a skillshot with one of the largest effect radius. But its easy to get hooked on her because shes easy tow in with, so you might wanna watch out for that.
Janna is support - basically never appreciated in anything but mid/high elo games. She is a road to pain and frustration unless you have a team going on.
Also go Shen and leviathan. What was OP then is good now. Shen is a lot of IP, but hes definitely worth it. I have yet to buy him, but if my free week tryouts were any indication, hes a joy use.
Sivr is easy to play (450 IP - a steal). The point and click farming wonder. Get the Bloodrazor on her without fail (among other items) and you are set.
Better yet farm up and buy Nidalee. Imo the most enjoyable to play hero in LoL. Opinions are highly subjective though :P
Thanks for all the replies!
I ended up buying Ashe, for cheapness' sake, though I didn't have the best of times playing her. I could only seem to land her ultimate if I was lucky and the enemy champion didn't move, even at a close range (could be because I lag a bit).
I'm thinking I might main Janna. I've played a couple more games with her and, at the moment, I'm finding I can easily hold the middle lane against two other opponents. Gale makes running away/farming easy as hell too. Still getting the hang of when to use her ultimate, though I'll figure it out eventually.
Thanks heaps everyone!

Firstly, yes you make bigoted statements and that makes you a bigot. I on the other hand have made no bigoted or otherwise hateful statements so that makes you the only one between the two of us.
You wrote:
"Your hatred for 'others' … is telling … Turkish are we? Hmm"
Firstly I have shown no hatred for anyone and secondly, I am not Turkish so wrong again!
So your subsequent rant about the Kurds and the Syrians in Turkey has nothing to do with me. Having said that, as far as I know, Turkey has submitted a map of its territory to the UN and once more they are not presently occupying anyone's land at the present time. So I am not sure why you have a problem with the Turks. They have been friendly to Israel in recent times. And they have full diplomatic relations with you.
As regards to their genocide of the Armenians, well that seems to be a fairly accurate (although the Turks do deny it) but again that has nothing to do with me or indeed with the Arab – Israeli conflict.
For your information the Kurds that you seem to be defending are also Muslims and many of them do support the Palestinians against Israel. So again it makes no sense for you to defend them against the Turks.
As for the laws in that country, well many of their extreme nationalist laws make no sense at all but aren't you an extreme nationalist? So in fact you have more in common with them than you think.
I said that claiming a state to be purely Jewish or Hebrew or purely of one religion or race without accepting the possibility of others being allowed in is dangerous. Hitler tried that and thankfully failed.
Jerusalem has to be addressed in any settlement as it is sacred to three religions and in all likelihood no one religion would be allowed to fully control all of it forever without some compromises.

Your statements like the one above proves further how ill informed and bigoted you are. You are doing your side no favors by saying things like this.
@ virtu:
"So, tell me about the "chosen people" bs."
What is there to tell … virtu? The 'chosen people' concept has since been appropriated by the Christians …being the 'new Israel' and the later by the Muslims … who believe their prophet was the 'last' one … and the community of believers the 'ummah' are the stand-ins for the 'chosen people' … it's all b.s.
"In addition some philosophers claim"
You choose to believe in the myth of Mohamed and his bs … go ahead … when is the last time you took your horse for a midnight ride? Or the Angel Gabriel started speaking to you? My advice … what makes the Mormon belief in finding the 10 Commandments in Ohio any LESS bs than yours? These are myths created by man … Mohammed was a warlord … a savage desert warlord … illiterate to boot …
"many governments around the world, … This however does not constitute any proof that Hamas is any more a terrorist organization than "Israel". In fact "Israel" is similar to the mafia, nobody knows where are the boundaries."
Hamas is a non-state actor without legitimacy … the Arab/Muslim world creates these groups which do not show up in Western liberal democratic societies …You can research the difference yourself … but read Lee Smith: The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations
Virtu is an Arab/Muslim lackey … if he lives in the West … I pity him and his hate for the people he lives among … remember Big Brother is watching … if he lives in the Arab/Muslim world … I despise him and his hatred of the West …
YOU ARE THE ENEMY … virtu …
nothing to say and so many words to do it!
the usual tzatz spin
This person always has hateful rant on those who disagree with his opinion, there is never any fact relevant to the subject.
Of course you always ignore my questions. Your answers only prove I am right and you just a typical jew/zionist.
@ virtu:
'Justice begIns by giving up the loot'
The loot … stolen by the Arab/Muslim world when it forcibly expelled the Jews from their lands and businesses in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Iran (et al) … will have to be RESTORED to them. The 800,000 Jews had MUCH more lost and stolen from them than the poor indigenous people of Mandate Palestine. The poor indigenous people were subsistence farmers without deed to the lands they farmed … but that was what the Arab/Muslim world is/was about … ABUSE … abuse of women … abuse of the poor … states that look after their elites at the expense of the poor majority … REVOLUTION ANYONE? You wonder why parties like Hamas a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate are able to gain power? As a revolt against the corruption of the secular leadership. Why is Hamas the only party in a Muslim country who is allowed to WIN an election? When a Muslim Brotherhood party is NOT ALLOWED TO WIN … in Egypt … or … Jordan … or Algeria … do I have to go on? Your Arab/Muslim culture sucks … your chauvinism for it sucks … this is the export you provide the West … your culture … feh … take it back … yes you can leave the HUMMUS … but then the Israelis have already appropriated that … making it even better than y'all
To Se1:
I'm the bigot? That's like … 'the pot calling the kettle BLACK'. Ha.
Your hatred for 'others' … is telling … Turkish are we? Hmm
Click those ruby red slippers and say again … 'there's no place like home' … Turkey ONCE UPON A TIME … BEFORE ERDOGAN … could claim a 'toe' in the West but today we see the burqa and Islam prevailing … it's not even remotely possible for the EU or NATO to continue to ally itself with Turkey … that comeuppance is coming soon … CHOK GUZEL
You said: "The prerequisite for any settlement is for people to know what Israel does and does not claim as its territory."
Try telling that to the Kurds in Turkey … or the Syrians in Alexandretta [err for you Iskanderun] … you Ottomans sure left a lot of 'happy campers' among the Arabs … better keep your fez down … and repeat after me … 'people who live in glass houses should not throw stones' … and I take back the idea of great cuisine vis a vis Muslims … TURKISH cuisine SUCKS …
Don't you Turks preach to me … about anything … Armenian Genocide … Kurdish language and culture despised and 'TURKISHNESS' whatever that means … [Article 301 is a controversial article of the Turkish Penal Code making it illegal to insult Turkey, the Turkish ethnicity, or Turkish government institutions.] pushed on everyone as the highest prerogative [oops arrest me Mr. Erdogan]
You said: "that goes to the heart of the problem"
Ya your HEART … you don't get it … your attitude … the attitude of the Muslim Centric (now why would a Turk believe he's so self-important?) … Jerusalem is/was/will be the Jewish Capital of the State of Israel … at best there might be some nod to the Arabs vis a vis the 'holy' Mosque but that's about it … tell me what the Ottomans did with the Aya Sophia … err Hagia Sophia … turning THE MOST HOLY/IMPORTANT CHRISTIAN Orthodox Cathedral… the Main Cathedral of the Orthodox Church into a Mosque … you Muslims are all the same … why build a Mosque on TOP OF a Jewish Holy Site? … that's just how Muslims behave … as assholes
You said: "isn't the state of Israel based on an even older desert religion?"
So the Jewish People have no claims on the Holy Land? The Jews didn't exist as a people? Jerusalem is only a Muslim place? Ha.
You said: "I would not be told by anyone where I should or should not live"
Welcome to the 21st Century … states decide who may live inside their state and who may not. It's not up to you … its called immigration and emigration … 'it ain't a piece of cake' … It will be getting harder and harder for Muslims to move around Europe … and North America … Geert Wilders and common sense make that clear
You said: "the majority of people in the Middle East don't want you there either"
Too fucking bad. The majority of the Middle East can't read or write … don't have a pot to piss in … AND … they wear burqas … hello … do I need to follow their advice? Let them eat a donner kebab! … but probably not … their own sandwiches are better than yours … LOL
Response to your last posting for "Israel's democracy Under siege too" forum now closed!
Firstly I have no cousins in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon etc. And my cousins in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, UK and Spain are accepting their fair share of refugees.
We are paying more than our fair share towards solving what is essentially an Arab – Hebrew problem.
You wrote:
"or they could re-settle into the new Arab state on the WB or Gaza …"
Perhaps that is one of the main problems with the so called two state solutions. The West Bank or Gaza are not really states in any meaningful sort of the way. And the so called two state solution does not address the most contentious issue, that of Jerusalem.
You wrote:
"But not into the Jewish State of Israel"
Well that goes to the heart of the problem. When people talk in terms of a state having to remain purely of one race or religion then, it cannot be regarded as a modern state. It is this type of thinking that leads to the problems we see.
You wrote:
"You are a 'schooled' Arab of the Edward Said Branch whose major hypothesis is 'we know us best' … you Western Colonialists only 'think' you know us."
That is an utter lie. I am most definitely not an Arab. I do have Arab and Israeli friends but I am most definitely not an Arab.

Here you are projecting. You are indeed talking about yourself and your own culture.
You wrote:
"Your culture/Islam sucks … there's no way around it … you must join the 21st Century … abandon the 7th Century … you will not prevail over the West and Modernism …"
Now you are revealing the true nature of your mind. The statements like above (which have nothing to do with my culture as you do not know what cultural background I am from) can only be the product of a bigoted mind. You are closed to reason. And people like you are a propaganda gift to the anti Semites. You certainly do not represent either the west or modernism. Being from the west I know. People like you still live in the middle ages with the mindset of the crusades or at the very least that of the BC mindset.
You wrote:
"no borders set … that's a joke"
That is most certainly not a joke. The prerequisite for any settlement is for people to know what Israel does and does not claim as its territory. That needs no peace settlement and would be an easy task to do. Only then can people take any claim to statehood seriously. Despite the fact that Israel has not done this we did recognise Israel and have diverted billions of dollars of our tax money to you. Israeli statements of living space needed are reminiscent of those made by Hitler.
You ask:
"What we have is a 7th Century desert 'religion' being used to impose itself on 21st Century Man? "
Well isn't the state of Israel based on an even older desert religion? If we were to apply the modern 21st century norms to the Middle East problem then Israel would come off worse as the whole bases for the Israeli statehood is based on old desert religions! And the whole law of return is not a 21st century concept. I could get on a plane to Tel Aviv tomorrow. Upon arrival I could apply and get an Israeli passport simply because one of my maternal ancestors was once a Jew! A Palestinian would be thrown out of his home (in all likelihood) and I would be given his land etc. So please do spare me your advice as to where I should stay. I did not come from the desert. And although I have traveled and lived in Muslim countries and have no problem living in them again, I would not be told by anyone where I should or should not live. I am not an unarmed Palestinian in Gaza that you could victimize. My country is well armed and part of NATO. So do not presume to us.

"You're trying to be the Slick Willy … snake oil salesman … you sound like 'one of us' but your agenda and your views are strictly for foreign consumption …
Here you are talking about yourself again. It is you who do not belong amongst us. You are a racist and a bigot. The west is not a place for people like you. And the majority of people in the Middle East don't want you there either. You do the Jewish people no favors. Mayer Kahana is dead! And your views which are essentially his have no place in the modern society. Not even in Israel!
So keep your stupid and uninformed and bigoted comments to yourself!
tzatz again
1)I understand you do not BELIEVE in GOD? So, tell me about the "chosen people" bs.
2)In addition some philosophers claim that there is no possible demonstration for a negative preposition like "GOD does not exist". even your god.
3) many governments around the world, afflicted by jewish/zionist lobbies toe your line. This however does not constitute any proof that Hamas is any more a terrorist organization than "Israel". In fact "Israel" is similar to the mafia, nobody knows where are the boundaries.
As I told you, you are the guilty party here, And Justice begIns by giving up the loot and go parasite somewhere else. The US for example, there are many many of your friends there.
PS: I do not recognize Israel....and I am in large company. And Hamas is right.
@ SADMAN2901 who said:
"HAMAS, what ever they may be are peoples elected representative and they will have to ensure people get food, medications and health care.
Depriving the people of their necessities is also human right violation."
There is no hunger or lack of medicine or health care in Hamastan.
What Hamas is:
• terror group that does not recognize the existence of Israel
• Jihadi Muslim Brotherhood group whose mission is to REPLACE the Jewish State as the first step to the world-wide Caliphate that is, imposing Islam on the ENTIRE WORLD
• use the 'hostage' people of Gaza to further their 'EVIL' agenda putting rockets, munitions et al in MOSQUES, HOSPITALS, RESIDENTIAL HOMES
• not recognized as an interlocutor by the EU, Britain, the Quartet, the USA AND Israel
• a group that doesn't recognize prior agreements signed by the representatives of 'Palestinian people' and in a coup … killed and/or forced Fatah OUT OF GAZA in 2007
• fired 7000 rockets into Israel from Gaza since 2005 … AFTER Israeli settlers & the IDF unilaterally left Gaza … eventually precipitating a war where 1400 Gazans died and the infrastructure was decimated
@ Cutters who said:
"You mean that deal that was agreed by the UN? That was not an agreement that Israel made, it states the size of Israel …"
In 1947, for the record, the UN voted to create an Arab and a Jewish State from what was left of the British Mandate over Palestine. On May 14, 1948 Israel declared its independence … the Arab League/Arab States declared war on the nascent State of Israel … and in the war that followed … indigenous Arabs FLED … ABANDONED … and yes … were PUSHED out of their villages … but mostly … they left their homes freely not wanting to be in a war zone … fearing rape and atrocities … much hyped by the Arab/Muslim press/radio/leadership … this backfired when huge groups left including TENS OF THOUSANDS from Haifa …
These will never be back … the proven formula for dealing with these issues are population exchanges … that's what will happen … the two communities cannot co-exist as one … there's too much discrepancy between their worldviews … those Arabs who are forward thinking … enjoy the freedom of a multi-ethnic world … will continue to thrive in Israel … MOST Arabs do not … they'll be better off in a Arab/Muslim state
@ Dec1 who wrote:
"That will be heartbreaking news to …"
Those supporters continue to believe what they believe … the emphasis on 'belief' … what I believe has no impact … Christianity and Islam were/are SUPERCESSIONIST … they believe they have superceded the previous myth … their 'NEW MYTH' is the 'real' 'pure' 'right' one … they continue to believe it … I won't dislodge their 'belief'
"Float in Dead Sea till you Float Dead in sea" … leave the humour to the Jewish comedians … they're really funny … you guys are only funny to be 'made fun of' … LOL
If you're looking at the next Saladin coming from that 'rat hole' Egypt … think again … but maybe that's too much to ask of you … Egypt's repressive regime will coninue to put the 'clampdown' on its people … like all autocracies/kleptocracies … the Egyptian elite is AFRAID of its people …
Your view of the Arab/Muslim world is the same as most members of that world … 'rose coloured' … chauvanistic … you think too much of them … those masses of the 'Arab street' are real good at 'burning flags of the USA or Israel' … rabidly yelling and screaming invective at 'foreign' governments … because you're being played like a fiddle … when you have ignorant … uneducated … illiterate … masses … that's what you get … but the 'times they are a changin'
Let me put it this way … the USA … gives BILLIONS to the Arab/Muslim world … what if that ended abruptly? Due to the recession and the need to 'scale back'? Egypt without those funds would be a defacto military prison … its people raging for food … its leadership continuing the 'clampdown' by jailing/murdering/torturing the 'peasants' in order to maintain their power … any military adventures ie against Israel would be met with massive retaliation by Israel … that's not a pretty picture …
Ignorance is bliss … but the sin is the waste of human capital locked up in the Arab/Muslim world … that human capital has been a waste and will continue to be a waste … when will it end? When your culture 'unpacks' all the potential … FREEDOM for woman … FREEDOM for minorities … FREEDOM for human rights … FREEDOM for economic growth (FREEDOM FROM KLEPTOCRACY) … when will that happen?
Ya I thought so.
@ Tzatz:
"What God … there is no god … there has never been a god … these are myths … the Jews have their myths … you have your myths … they're all BS …"
That will be heartbreaking news to your genrous supporters and fund raisers in US who are just trying to CALL IN Jesus as early as possible..
You may enjoy for the time being, Float in Dead Sea till you Float Dead in sea..!!(Dictator in Egypt is becoming old and nearing to his eventual bloody end)
Oxford, without either ford or ox
let me bring the good of the good news!
you can actually watch the entire video before the Zionist crooks doctored and edited it!
And if I can so can the entire world! can you, zionist liar?
tzats said: "The Israelis have the ability to kill and maim every human being in Gaza but they do not".
Good to know they have the decency and self restraint.
Having food imported from regions other that Israel is hurtful to the people in Gaza. Also, many of these nations such as Egypt and Syria are using the Palestinian territories to close in on Israel. I agree with "As it Is" on this subject matter. Palestine should stand up and concentrate on building itself without the aid of other nations who may want to take advantage of its position. According to this article: http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/avineri36/English , Prime Minister Salam Fayyad says that Palestine should declare independence in 2011.
@ Tzatz:
Who do you think made up the Israeli army and government? The Irgun were active all the way through, I put up a link to a time line of the British Mandate, and they were active all the way through that. You may wish to learn some history, open a book some time, or look though the disgusting sites that Jews host on the web that celebrate the monstrous actions of this group. Don't give me that BS that they just wanted the British out, they were Zionist extremists, they killed Jews that refused to give them protection and money, they were no different to Hamas, Al-Qaeda or any other religious basket cases.
Israel was built by terrorists, terrorists that continue their atrocities to this day. Israel have Hamas next door and they thoroughly deserve them. The only way Israel is going to break the deadlock is to start obeying international laws and agreements, and quit side stepping the issue and crying.
You are not telling us any of the important stuff. For example, please post the last Israeli list of what's allowed into Gaza (and more importantly, what's not). Then we can see if the Israelis really are being capricious.
And, why cannot Blair visit Gaza? If it's because Hamas is on the nose, the Western powers are even more stupid than they were over Cyprus. They promote an election in Gaza, Hamas wins, an because Israel doesn't like it, the EU/USA envoy cannot even meet with the freely elected representatives of the Gazan people?
What kind of madness is this? Just because Hamas refuses to recognise Israel, they are deemed pariahs. But look at it from Hamas's viewpoint: the PA did so and it got them nothing. Israeli settlement in the West Bank was 100,000 at recognition; it is now 500,000. So much for reciprocity. Recognition comes at the end of negotiations, not as a pre-condition.
Oxford, Tzatz and other similar miscarriages (like the non-existence of Palestine) Roman historian first cenury BC/AD.
Anybody knows Plutarch? no I don't expect so.
Plutarch: "Life of Pompey"
45. ...Pompey celebrated a Triumph for his conquest of... Phoenicia (present Lebanon) Palestine (Present "Israel") Judea (Upper West Bank )( King Aristobulus, a very Jewish name, indeed!), and Arabia (present Jordan....)"
PS unfortunately Jews/Zionists do not like to be proven wrong, so nobody should expect any of them to answer with any argument. only insults to me.
If someone had sat down 15 years ago to invent a strategy to convert Palestinian opinion from laicist into Islamic extremist, it is hard to see how they could have done better than Israel and the US.
- isolate and humiliate anyone who negotiates with you
- jail or kill any leader strong enough to do a deal with you
- hold an election and then organise a coup to ignore the result
- start a war in the Lebanon with the Islamists *and lose it*
- start a massacre to end a cease fire
the list goes on.
What a set of jack-asses. They will lose their country.
With lingering time new complexities are bound to comeup almost everyday. It is sad as time passes the pressure on the Israeli Government too has become slack. Its quite possible after couple of more months there will be other issues to completely divert attention. How long can the Gazans live is a hostage situation? They will have to find ways to break the unjust shakles of Israel.HAMAS, what ever they may be are peoples elected representative and they will have to ensure people get food, medications and health care.
Depriving the people of their necessities is also human right violation.

In 1841, Georg Waitz discovered two magic charms in a 9-10th century codex in the Cathedral Chapter library of Merseburg, the only surviving literary remnants of Old High German heathenry. In the second Merseburg charm, Woten heals a horse's sprain after other gods have failed.
Variants of this charm, with different gods and saints, survive all over northwestern Europe—the Germanies, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, Shetland, and the Hebrides—but a similar spell preserved from Vedic India suggests that it may be ancient of origin indeed.
The charm is of the type known to scholars as a historiola: what linguist Philip A. Shaw defines as "a charm in which a narrative is employed that in some way represents or symbolises the achievement of the desired outcome of the charm" (Shaw 62). Magic-workers have been harnessing the driving power of story to propel their charms for millennia; modern spell-smiths take note!
The Old Craft version of the charm cited below invokes, as one would expect, the god of witches in his person of Wild Rider.
In today's Airy Monday, we've got challenges to patriarchal (Catholic) theology; religion vs. academia; Iron Age clothing; Romans in Japan; Ireland before St. Patrick.
As Pagan theologies grapple with our ever-changing world, it can be helpful to note that we aren't alone: this article describes four new fields of study (post-colonial, queer, feminist, and eco-thealogy) are impacting Roman Catholic scholarship....
When you look at the twigs and branches of bare trees, do you ever see pentagrams?
I thought so. Me too.
It's March in Minnesota: there are certainly plenty of bare branches to be seen, and the random patterns that they form as they move in the wind keep making pentagrams. Looking out the window this morning, I actually saw the pentagram before I saw the branches, as if it were standing in the foreground of my visual field, between me and the tree. Weird.
It's called pareidolia, literally "image instead of" (Greek eidôlon also gives us "idol"): the tendency of the human mind to interpret random stimuli meaningfully. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, identifying patterns in random data. Our kind is really good at this; it's the basis, for example, of divination.
I used to wonder if it meant that I've been living in the broomstick ghetto too long. In Rosemary Edghill's novel The Book of Moons, one of our heroine's coven-sibs tells her, "Bast, you really need to get out more and read some history that doesn't have witches in it."
I have just returned from a Women and the Land conference held in Point Reyes, California. It was a wonderful series of panels, whose presenters were almost all women authors: poets, essayists, and fiction and non fiction writers. Given my interest in how the feminine and ecology fit together as a unified theme in needed cultural changes that might yet save our nihilistic Western culture, I expected to enjoy it. And I did, far more than I expected.
That said, this column and the next will deal with an error I heard there, and with its solution. I think the error runs through the thinking of many women and men whose hearts are in the right place. And its solution is easy once we recognize it and take the time to digest its implications. It is also very relevant to Pagans....

Ohio State Latest to Wear Pro Combat Uniforms
It seems just about everyone is trying out the Pro Combat look, and on Saturday Ohio State will turn to these threads when they take on Wisconsin in Columbus.
As far as appearance, the Pro Combats have been a mix bag. You've had some superb designs like LSU sported last weekend against Auburn and the not-to-superb look that Georgia wore the first week of the season in their game against Boise State.
As for Ohio State, well, it's a mixed bag. The helmet is pretty fantastic but I'm not sure about the rest of the ensemble. These might be perfect, however, for an Any Given Sunday sequel.

News Flash: Gimme Polaroid
By Melissa Goldstein on January 23, 2008 9:26 AM

I've always been a fan of the Polaroid. I mean, is there anything more magical than the sort-of instant gratification of snapping an image and then waiting with baited breath as the various details of that image reveal themselves—beginning as ghost-like apparitions devoid of human detail and gradually becoming either a flattering or unflattering photo? If you ask me, the whole digital (camera) age has completely taken the suspense out of the "supermodel or not a supermodel?" verdict process that determines whether one will keep or discard a photo.

Kanye is a Funny and Harmless Prankster
Yes, enough of you have contacted me about Kanye's latest award show tantrum that I will share my thoughts.
When I was in college at Baylor University, most of the entertainment brought to campus was clearly booked by someone who had no idea what Young Weasels wanted to see or hear. Granted, it's a Baptist college, so I wasn't expecting Black Sabbath, but …
One semester, though, I was completely jazzed — pun intended — that Two Generations of Brubeck performed on campus in Waco Hall.
The band featured Dave Brubeck and three of his precociously talented sons: Darius on keyboards, Chris on trombone and bass, and Danny on drums.
Though admittedly not familiar with a lot of Brubeck's material other than "Take 5," even a moron like the 20-Year-Old Rick knew the concert was a terrific opportunity to witness greatness.
And indeed, from seats very close to the stage, the music and virtuosity was everything anticipated and more. Here's what I remember most:
After about an hour, the band took a break and retreated to their dressing rooms. As the minutes crept by and the intermission seemed to reach Uncomfortably Protracted territory, Dave Brubeck came back out onstage — the houselights still up — and approached the microphone. His apologetic grin and body language exuded goodwill and humor, and he explained that, somehow, one of his sons was locked in a dressing room and no one could get the door open.
Custodial folks had been notified, Brubeck said, and hopefully the kiddo would be liberated at top speed and the performance could continue. Brubeck was very sorry for the delay, he said.
A voice called out from the audience: "Well, go ahead and just play something!"
A huge smile creased Brubeck's face and he looked delighted. "That's a great idea!" he exclaimed — and he sat down at the piano bench and. Absolutely. Ripped. It. Up.
I've no idea whether it was improv — looking back with a bit more knowledge, I'd say yeah, it probably was — but, wow, Brubeck just went pyrotechnic. Whatever he was playing built in exhilharating fashion, the aural equivalent of watching a rocket blast off from close range, and he just stinkin' smoked it.
I actually felt sorry for the boys once they rejoined him onstage. There was no way to compete with Dad's unplanned mini-set, although, of course, the rest of the show WAS very good.
I'm just really happy I was there that night when a one-man volcano called Dave Brubeck absolutely errupted in joyous abandon.
Rest In Peace.
Yes, enough of you have contacted me about Kanye's latest award show tantrum that I will share my thoughts.
As clueless as it still seems all these years later, I enrolled at Baylor University without giving much thought to the fact that it's a Baptist college and, as such, there would be a lot of attention paid to, well,...

The rain brought toadstools
Is anyone else's yard breaking out in toadstools? I don't think I've ever had so many.
I don't have any perfect circles like some fairy rings that I've seen but it sort of looks like that. The underside (the gills) are pink on the ones I've looked at and I think they might be edible but I'm too chicken to give them a try. I may have to buy some mushrooms at the grocery store now because it's got me thinking about it and I'm craving them.
I don't have any but I saw some in Joplin. I think they are pretty. Did anyone else think it was steamy today. I thought I was being a wimp until I saw the weather. It really was hot. Please buy the mushrooms in the store; we need you to survive.
I have seen a couple of small ones when I mowed recently. I finally had to mow the entire yard; the first time in a very long time. An extension person told me once they are a sign of a fertile, high quality soil.
I need to do some trimming but think I will wait until this cold front arrives.
I sure hope it brings all of us more rain.
I think they are growing on rotten wood or organic matter underground. Sunny I don't see why you couldn't put them in the compost. I think they are beautiful but I guess as they mature they may get ugly. I think it is amazing how fast they can spring up. Don't listen to me about eating them. I won't even eat the morels unless someone else picks them. If you read what the poisonous ones can do, it doesn't seem to be worth the chance.
