Skip to comments.Ayatollahs in the classroom [Evolution and Creationism]
Posted on 01/22/2005 7:38:12 AM PST by PatrickHenry
A movement to drag the teaching of science in the United States back into the Dark Ages continues to gain momentum. So far, it's a handful of judges -- "activist judges" in the view of their critics -- who are preventing the spread of Saudi-style religious dogma into more and more of America's public-school classrooms.
The ruling this month in Georgia by Federal District Judge Clarence Cooper ordering the Cobb County School Board to remove stickers it had inserted in biology textbooks questioning Darwin's theory of evolution is being appealed by the suburban Atlanta district. Similar legal battles pitting evolution against biblical creationism are erupting across the country. Judges are conscientiously observing the constitutionally required separation of church and state, and specifically a 1987 Supreme Court ruling forbidding the teaching of creationism, a religious belief, in public schools. But seekers of scientific truth have to be unnerved by a November 2004 CBS News poll in which nearly two-thirds of Americans favored teaching creationism, the notion that God created heaven and earth in six days, alongside evolution in schools.
If this style of "science" ever took hold in U.S. schools, it is safe to say that as a nation we could well be headed for Third World status, along with everything that dire label implies. Much of the Arab world is stuck in a miasma of imam-enforced repression and non-thought. Could it happen here? Our Constitution protects creativity and dissent, but no civilization has lasted forever, and our current national leaders seem happy with the present trends.
It is the creationists, of course, who forecast doom if U.S. schools follow a secularist path. Science, however, by its nature, relies on evidence, and all the fossil and other evidence points toward an evolved human species over millions of years on a planet tens of millions of years old [ooops!] in a universe over two billion years in existence [ooops again!].
Some creationists are promoting an idea they call "intelligent design" as an alternative to Darwinism, eliminating the randomness and survival-of-the-fittest of Darwinian thought. But, again, no evidence exists to support any theory of evolution except Charles Darwin's. Science classes can only teach the scientific method or they become meaningless.
Many creationists say that teaching Darwin is tantamount to teaching atheism, but most science teachers, believers as well as non-believers, scoff at that. The Rev. Warren Eschbach, a professor at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pa., believes that "science is figuring out what God has already done" and the book of Genesis was never "meant to be a science textbook for the 21st century." Rev. Eschbach is the father of Robert Eschbach, one of the science teachers in Dover, Pa., who refused to teach a school-board-mandated statement to biology students criticizing the theory of evolution and promoting intelligent design. Last week, the school district gathered students together and the statement was read to them by an assistant superintendent.
Similar pro-creationist initiatives are underway in Texas, Wisconsin and South Carolina. And a newly elected creationist majority on the state board of education in Kansas plans to rewrite the entire state's science curriculum this spring. This means the state's public-school science teachers will have to choose between being scientists or ayatollahs -- or perhaps abandoning their students and fleeing Kansas, like academic truth-seekers in China in the 1980s or Tehran today.
Everyone be nice.
I always appreciate it when newspaper writers put a piece of egregious stupidity in their first paragraph as a signal that I don't need to watse my time reading the rest of the piece. Nice of them.
By definition of the term, America can never be a 'third world county'. but I digress
Why are they so against just advising students that evolution is a theory? No one has said Genesis was now their textbook. Why not allow more than one opinion? Isn't science about questioning?
But let us also note the errors are significant UNDERSTATEMENTS.
6 posts in an hour. See what happens to crevo threads when you put restrictions like that on them
When you look at the stated goals of the Discovery Institute, the Seattle based organization promoting ID, a Saudi style theocracy is indeed their goal. Granted, it is a Christian theology, which generally I support. Except not in schools, and not mandated by government. We ended that in the Americas sometime after they chased my ancestors out of Hampton NH in the 1630's because they were Quaker.
The Discovery Institute published on their web site (and has since removed) a strategy they call the "Wedge". It is to promote a non-God "Intellegent Design" to get science to accept the idea that some kind of supernatural exists, despite no evidence for it.
Then the plan is to replace that belief in a generic supernatural with a Christian faith. I don't doubt that since this is specifically directed at government schools, that they fully intend on carrying this over into government mandates as well.
Who knows what would happen after decades of such government sponsord religion? Perhaps a return to government mandated tithes as existed in New England well after the First Amendment (since the First only prevented Congress from establishing a religion, a strict interpretation allows States to do so, and they once did).
Perhaps the Taliban example is a bit strong, because Christianity was never that violent in the Americas. But in England, it certianly was.
It is not a religious dogma. It is science. Creationism is the dogmatic belief.
I am all for vouchers, and Charter schools, as are many pro-evolutionists. The point is irrelevant. They have nothing to do with one another.
My children are in private Christian schools.
I was taught that it was a theory about 45 years ago and as far as I know it is always taught as a theory. Do you have evidence otherwise?
Excellent points - both.
Note the suicide bombers. You can tell anyone anything over and over, and they'll buy it.
I'm just amazed that people seem driven to reject Evolution, when I see no real conflict between it and Genesis. It's all in the interpretation. No two denominations ever agreed on interpreting the Bible, and I guess they never will.
I like the 'be nice' part. But I think you Established Religion true believers protest too much. If you really believed challenges to your doctrine were silly, you wouldn't over-react contstantly and continually. But lets get started; evolution is ridiculous.
Nothing organizes without Mind. Chance DISorganizes.
I think the reason we have to keep repeating it is NOT that the Creationists don't know it, but because many of them don't care. The idea is to discredit evolution. Admitting the difference between theory & hypothesis weakens their goal.
Most poeple are ignorant of the sciences.
"If this style of 'science' ever took hold in U.S. schools, it is safe to say that as a nation we could well be headed for Third World status, along with everything that dire label implies."
But this is what was taught for many years during a time when this nation grew to greatness.
Since evolution has been taught, social institutions have been in decline. Though Americans are richer and have less work than ever before, as a whole, we also are more lazy, dissatisfied, selfish, immoral, dishonest and generally uneducated than ever before.
If we do not get back to the underlying moral principles that made us great, our greatness will also become a thing of the past.
I just meant that they seem against any other point of view.
I suppose it is easier to organize people if there is a "bad guy", a demon somewhere to oppose. It elevates emotions, and opens wallets.
Although I support Christianity, I suppose there is no way to prevent some denominations from attempting to replace science with theology except by making it painful for them to do so. And at the same time they need reasurance that Evolution is not anti-Christian. Opposing ID needs to be a carrot and stick strategy.
The stick is forcing Christians to actually read and defend the Bible. Pointing out the two separate and different creation stories in Gen 1:1 and Gen 2:4 forces them to acknowledge that the Bible cannot be taken word-for-word litterally. There must be some interpretation, so they might as well interpret it to allow for Evolution.
The carrot is pointing out how grand a design Evolution actually is. And that God is so great that He designed a truly wonderful system. A system that has operated itself for 2-3 billion years. An adaptive, and immortal system, that man could only dream of designing.
You post an article that basically calls doubters of evolution "Ayatolla's" and you want us to be nice? What's the matter, you couldn't find an article that calls us "terrorists" or charge us with killing innocent women and children?
Thanks for the ping!
He's a troll, who just happens to have been on Free Republic for a while.
No. You said they were against advising them that it was just a theory.
I guess you would also like them to teach that aliens brought life to the earth?
The only "Ayatollahs" I see represented in this article are "activist judges" imposing their dogmas on the citizens of Georgia.
There is a different mindset in highly religious people. It's more emotion than logic. They have their belief, and they're sticking with it.
One thing that I have not seen much attention in science is the study of how people are lead. How are political movements (which are almost entirely emotional) generated. This is a very tough thing to study. But political movements are the most powerful thing in human civilization. They need to be studied, and that research distributed as wide as possible. This will take the edge off of these movements, and dampen their ability to do damage.
The ID movement has become very sophisticated, and has broken the boundary of what we would call religion, and is now into politics. Similar to activities of the Sierra Club and PETA on the left. Like those entities, the ID movement is self sustaining by seeking donations and selling media to those it convinces. Like the Greens, who have a demon to oppose in "big business", ID organizations have an evil in "Evolution" to oppose. It is a highly seductive method of gathering and keeping a political following.
In the end, it could be very dangerous. Where the Greens took basically non-religious people and formed a "Gaia" following that they don't claim to be a religion. The ID people at the Discovery Institute are attempting to hijack a genuine established religion and get it to do it's bidding. I don't think they have any evil designs. But they are after power. And power does corrupt. What the ID movement may spawn in 50 years we will probably not like.
"young earth creationist"
In my reference to burn/size/gravitational pull I cited a physics argument against an old earth. Do you have a rebuttal or just a rebuff based in your own theories and memes?
I am looking for scientific rationale, as an empiricist with faith in God. Please show me you are an empiricist as well--with faith in not only your belief, but an astrophysics-appropriate validation or argument. Thanks.
You "cite" but you give no basis for your citation.
I now cite "If God were a good god, he would allow innocent babies to suffer, therefore he is an evil god."
Why would you think I would want students taught that aliens brought life to earth?
I'm relatively new but posted on another related thread a thought about Creationists-by-Faith versus Creationists-by-Argument.
I have utmost respect for Creationists-by-Faith.
Creationists-by-Argument seem to me to be dishonest at some level and don't believe their own rhetoric. It may be that they are dishonest with themselves and fear that to accept evolution is to somehow lose their faith. I wonder if meeting deeply religious people who accept the theory of evolution as a wonderful evidence of the glory and magnificence of Creation would relax that group. One might hope.
What "fact"! Oh, it was stated on some creationist's web-site therefore it is FACT.
I thought you were in favor of teaching the students that other alternative to evolution existed.
Same here. Creationists-by-Argument seem to me to be dishonest at some level and don't believe their own rhetoric. It may be that they are dishonest with themselves and fear that to accept evolution is to somehow lose their faith. I wonder if meeting deeply religious people who accept the theory of evolution as a wonderful evidence of the glory and magnificence of Creation would relax that group. One might hope.
Ditto! Excellent!
Did God tell you that? Nothing in his post infers that.
"...One thing that I have not seen much attention in science is the study of how people are lead. How are political movements (which are almost entirely emotional) generated...."
Study advertising and sales. They've got it.
Also some studies like the one popularized by the book "Obedience to Authority" by Milgrim.
Why do yo distort. No one here has ever said that. In fact, many have supported the teaching of religions in a RELIGION class. But not in a science class.
Because they confuse "theory" with "hypothesis." "Theory" in science is as close to fact as one could possibly get. The scientifically illiterate (read the vast majority of Americans) however, think "theory" means "guess."
What's a Scientific Theory? Encyclopedia article.
Our dictionaries support this. After several "correct" definitions, #5 says "guess". This is not the fault of the dictionary, since it has to reflect popular usage of words but does give ammunition for the creationists.
Actually, the same evidence that supports Darwinism supports Intelligent Design.
Consider, for instance, if an alien society came to a dead Earth and began uncovering autombiles buried in a junkyard. The aliens would notice that the cars were progressively more advanced over time, but that year on year the cars had only minor changes from their earlier variants.
The aliens could then use that physical evidence of the cars buried in layers over more than a century to conclude either that the cars themselves evolved, or that the intelligent designers of the cars evolved.
The physical evidence, after all, would support both theories. Ditto for digging up fossils of animals and plants.
Of course, where Darwinism breaks down is not in the physical evidence or even in the Natural Selection process, but in the probability *math* required for the unaided sequencing of billions of genetic DNA instructions into their precise order (see: A Tiny Mathematical Proof Against Evolution).
In contrast, Intelligent Design holds up remarkably well to that same math. For instance, Intelligent Design precisely and accurately explains why computer programs are sequenced into their precise electronic coding order.
Probability math is still taught in our dilapadated public schools, one presumes, so applying that math to areas of known contention, where said math will show a precise scientific answer, seems like the obvious path.
Sadly, activist judges in Georgia and wild-eyed liberals in Massachusetts don't want such scholarly study to take place. Any attempt to investigate Darwinism with *math* is ruled out of bounds. Evolutionary *theory* must be accepted as fact, per those radicals, and no scientific challenges to said theory are to be permitted.
In this case, even the application of mere sticky notes that said "Evolution is a Theory" are banned by such activists.
Oh my goodness, not those "religiously dogmatic" sticky notes! How will "science" ever survive?! < /mocking! >
Like you said earlier, they misrepresent science and all the 'followers' think they have science on their side.
You evolution-religion cultists exasperate me. How can you claim to be scientific without being able to comprehend the difference between a crystal and a living cell?
No, observing a direct fact in the lab or in the wild is much, much closer than postulating a mere theory.
And if we ignored the challenges, like we did for decades, we allow for the growth of even more scientific ignorance.

No Laughing Matter: YA "Cancer Books" with a Sense of Humor
With "The Fault in Our Stars" topping so many best-of-the-year book lists, it seemed appropriate to devote a blog post to it and some other similar novels that have also come out recently. Though there have been many books written for teens featuring kids dying of cancer, many of them just end up being melodramatic and sappy. Of course cancer is no laughing matter, but sometimes, when terrible things happen, it's comforting and empowering to crack a joke. A few newer titles confront the harsh realities of dying young with honesty, grace, and humor unseen in the past.
"The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green
This best-selling novel was published to much acclaim and adoration earlier in the year, and the love affair seems to continue as "The Fault in Our Stars" has popped up on many best-of-the-year book lists. It's smart, charming, and funny, just as you have come to expect from John Green, but it also doesn't gloss over the harsh realities of cancer treatment and mortality. If you haven't already read this tragic story about the star-crossed lovers Hazel and Augustus, perhaps you should pick it up over the holidays?
"Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" by Jesse Andrews
While "The Fault in Our Stars" has some funny moments, it certainly isn't a comedy. If you like your laughs to come at a frequent pace, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is the way to go. It follows the story of Greg, a teen who has successfully managed to get in good with every clique in his high school without befriending a single person. There is one friend, Earl, with whom Greg spends his time creating bad remakes of classic films. When Greg reluctantly enters a friendship with Rachel, a classmate dying of leukemia, he winds up creating a terrible film in her honor.
"The Probability of Miracles" by Wendy Wunder
After years of unsuccessful cancer treatments, the cynical and sarcastic Cam puts little stock in miracles. But a miracle is what she needs, so her mother packs up the family and moves them to Promise, Maine… a town where miracles supposedly occur regularly. Stuck in a little, nowhere town, Cam decides to make the most of her final days and concocts a list of things to do before she dies. As Cam marches onward toward death, bolstered by her sense of humor, she discovers what living is all about.

Mandriva Acquires New CEO
The Mandriva project has selected Arnaud Laprévote as its CEO. He replaces Stanislas Bois who is taking over as the firm's CFO.
Arnaud Laprévote came to Mandriva by an interesting route. His Free&ALter Soft company founded in 1996 became part of Linbox as Linbox FAS in 2001. Linbox, in turn, was acquired by Mandriva in 2007.
Starting off as R&D manager, Laprévote has now been promoted to CEO by Mandriva's board of directors. He will also hold the CTO and director of R&D positions.
MandrivaRemember when Mandriva used to be relevant? Well, no, I guess Mandriva was never really relevant, but Mandrake once was.
I used to be a pretty ardent supporter of Mandrake, and maintained my own custom package repository for my own use and that of my clients. But then they went off on this education tangent that went nowhere, and merged with Conectiva, and let Ubuntu get way ahead of them in terms of hardware support and user experience. They dropped the ball. Glad to see they're still around, but unless they continue to exist primarily as a Linux support provider for the French government, I kind of wonder what the point is.

SEATTLE — President Bush has declared Washington state's flooding a major disaster, clearing the way for some federal aid.
The money will supplement recovery efforts in Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason Pacific and Thurston counties. The Federal Emergency Management Agency named a coordinating officer to oversee federal recovery operations, and said more counties may be covered as officials complete damage surveys.
The declaration provides only limited disaster aid: Initial aid is for immediate needs such as debris removal and emergency measures, said Dennis Hunsinger, regional administrator for FEMA Region X. Hunsiger was aboard a helicopter with Washington state political leaders and Carlos Castillo, assistant administrator for disaster assistance.
Today, Hunsinger and Castillo are taking an aerial tour of the storm- and flood-damaged areas with Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire and other state political leaders who are hoping to make a case for more relief funds.

Gregoire is not satisfied with Bush's announcement, she said this afternoon. "We need individual assistance," she said.
Gregoire said she will authorize $300,000 in emergency funds from the governor's budget for individual assistance until federal government comes through.
What the state is really looking for, they said, is more expansive public assistance, which would cover money to rebuild roads and public buildings, and what is called individual assistance, which would give individual property owners up to $28,000.
Violent storms beginning on Dec. 1 cut electric power, destroyed buildings, caused widespread flooding and were blamed for at least six deaths. A 20-mile stretch of Interstate 5 south of Olympia was covered by up to 10 feet of water, but was finally reopened Friday.

May 26, 2016
A familiar site over the last three months is contractors working hard to get a new roof placed on a house damaged by hurricanes.
Unfortunately for hundreds of people in this area, there are still a lot of roofs that haven't been worked on yet.
Local contractors say they face a difficult task, one they can't really see an end to right now.
"It's real stressful. You feel like you can't do enough, but all you can do is your best," said Michael Martin.
Unfortunately, that has not been enough to get things done quickly. Martin estimates his company has fixed between 100 and 150 roofs since the hurricane, and that they still have at least a hundred on a waiting list.
Martin says his company is having to set priorities right now, getting to the people who need it the very most, and making others wait.
"A lot the people are kind enough to say, 'wait until the blue tarps are gone'," said Martin. "They're not in this dire of a situation."
That patience, roofers say, will go a long way toward making a very difficult job just a little bit easier for them.
"It's going to take time, because there's just not enough contractors to handle the massive quantity of repair working being done right now," said Jack Rivers.
Local roofers say there's no way to know just how long it will take to get everyone back to normal, but they are guessing it could be 8 or 9 months before every roof damaged by Katrina is fixed.

I would like to know the optimum page file size for windows server 2003.Is it really vital to increase the page file size to match as ram hikes. It used to be the case that MS recommended 1*RAM for page file size, but is it really necessary to have an 8GB page file on a server with 8GB RAM, would this not place an extra load on the disks and waste a lot of disk space.
any ideas??

Ci THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 25, 1954 DAILY 5c—SUNDAY 15c—WEEKLY 35c Court Is Asked Thanksaiving Day Finds A Youiig Man With A PurposeAmericans Renew Traditions As They Lay Worries Asidë By LEWIS GULICK .WASHINGTON OB—The ^ Justice; epartment says the controversial k of sending white and Neg;ra childi'en to the same public schools should be carried out under local federal court dh-ectlon—not by a general Supreme Court order. Atty. ' Gen. Brownell : proposed this to the Supreme Com-t yesterday. And in so doing he seemed in agi-eemfent with President ' Eisenhower and with the parties directly involved in the historic case on public school segregation. Brownell's brief was filed as part of the proceedings stemming from the high tribunal's May 17 decision that public school segregation is unconstitutional. The court withheld a final order at the time, asking instead for furthér argument on how school desegregation should be carried out. The date for hearing these arguments has been put off at least until next year. Eisenhower told a news confer-ence,Tuesday that he understands the high court is tryin" to find some sort of decentralized process, and that he believes weight will be given to the emotional and practical problems involved. Suggestions that federal district courts handle the job were offered in briefs filed Nov. 15 by Texas, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware the School Board of Clarendon County, S. C., and attorneys for Negro parents who are principals in the original cases. ' . ■Brownell emphasized the. local control idea in asking that the dis trict courts be assigned the task although his recommendations on other matters differéfl In some re fipects from the other wiefs. Directly Involved in the case are . South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Kansas and the District of Columbia. Kansas and the District of, Columbia already have told the 001114;' their public school Integration pfqgrams are well .underit^vay, 60 a futurt^^-order on how to m out integration - Is expected to: ^ ply SSfeclfiSiRlly only to the other three states. •However, the May 17 decision outlawed school- segregation throughout , the nation—thus paving the way for possible suits in any other state to bring about ac tion in line with the Suprenvî Court order. . ' A number of Southern states havei made arrangements avowed ly aimed at getting around, the May 17 decision. In one of these Georgia, State Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook commented after hearing of Brownell's proposal: "It is Immaterial to the people of Georgia what method they use to enforce the decision because the . people of Georgia ai-e still de termined to circumvent the dec! «ion lat all hazai'ds." Brownell said schf>il authorities and lower courts are In the best . position to carry out integration [jecause "it is clear that no single formula or blueprint is readily susceptible of application to all localities." He emphasized however that he believes the Supreme Court should keep .lurisdiction in the matter "for the purpose of making such further orders, if any, as may become necessai-y." The attorney general proposed . these steps among others: A Supreme. Court decree declai'-Ing racial segregation m public schools is unconstitutional aiid that all laws requiring or. permitting . euoh segregation are invalid. A return of the cases itivo'ving the four states and the District Columbia to the lower courts whence they came, for further action in line with the supreme Court's decision. See.

Willis Ferry said he had little to go on as he' continued his investigation today of the robbery of, a high stakes poller game. The cheriff said a masked bandit held up seven men at an isolated cabin four miles «ast of here Tuesday night and fled with a gunny sack containing their money and their trousers. "We have very little to go on sine«: the matter has not been officially reported," said the sheriff, "and none" of the witnesses are yet willing to testify." Reports of the bandit's loot ranged from SI,000 to $4,000. With military action apparently ruled out—President Eisenhower yesterday pledged every step "humanly possible within Deaceful means'.'—these State Department officials had three principal avenues open to them: 1. To protest in "the "strongest terms possible," as they already have set out to do, to Red China's representative at Geneva. 2. To bring pressure on Communist China, as they have in the past, through British and other Allied representatives at Peiping, or perhaps even through the Russians. 3. To go to the United Nations, as they did with protests against atrocities in Korea- and the shooting down of an American plane, with demands for a resolution of censure.

As President Eisenhower noted in his proclamation for today, it was the Pilgrim fathers who started the custom of "dedicating one day at harvest time to rendering thanjts to Almighty God for the bounties of the soil and for his mercies throughout the year." Every schoolboy has heard that the Pilgrims fought death, disease and hunger their first year in the new world.

The newspaper said the decision of party leaders would force Yoshida's resignation.

That would.make him the 'party's candidate for Prime Minister in forming a new govei-n-ment.

Bolshevism in a Headdress: Islamic Fundamentalism Has More to Do with Hatred of the West Than with Religion
Akyol, Mustafa, The American Enterprise
In October of 2002 I spoke to a crowded Muslim audience in the British city of Birmingham on the topic, "The Evidence for God." My lecture focused on the modern scientific discoveries that support the idea of a designed, "fine-tuned" universe. The audience consisted mostly of Muslim students, and they were very interested in the presentation.
Yet there was a small dissatisfied group in the hall. During the question-and-answer session, one who seemed to be a spokesman for the group rose and, in a passionate voice, objected to the whole idea of the conference. "Why are we wasting time with all this useless philosophical and scientific sophistry?" he demanded. "Shouldn't we concentrate on establishing the worldwide Islamic state that will save us from all evils?"
I explained that the Koran asks every Muslim to examine the natural world and witness God's signs in it, but there is no verse ordering an "Islamic state." The essence of Islam, I said, does not concern such political objectives, but rather faith in God and morality. If he wanted to exalt Islam he should focus on science, philosophy, or art, I suggested, because these are the underpinnings of a civilization.
The young man was furious. In my speech I had mentioned the fall of Marxism as a materialistic theory that claimed to be a true explanation of human societies. He questioned me for speaking only against Marxism, not against capitalism. I responded, "Well, if we were in a communist country, we could not have a seminar titled 'The Evidence for God.' We can have it freely in this capitalist country. Isn't this a reason enough to opt for the latter?"
Later, I learned that this angry young man was a member of the radical group Hizb-ut Tahrir, firmly dedicated to establishing a global Islamic state. I am sure he and his comrades saw themselves as pious Muslims. Yet there was something terribly wrong with their faith, a defect that left them much more interested in the case against "capitalism" than in the case for God.
Muslim failure breeds radicalism
Most scholars who study radical Islam agree it is something peculiar to the twentieth century. For Muslims, the most important aspect of the last century can be captured in one word: Failure. Muslim nations became the poorest of the world, they were colonized by imperial powers, they lagged behind the West in all earthly standards, they were tyrannized by their own rulers.
In the early decades of Islam, Muslims had grown accustomed to triumph. They created a vast empire and gained military and political ascendancy over other civilizations for centuries. As Daniel Pipes, a scholar of Islam, notes: "To be a Muslim meant to belong to a winning civilization." Muslim cities like Baghdad or Cordoba were "ornaments of the world" as well as centers of science and philosophy. Historian Martin Kramer opines, "Had there been Nobel prizes in the year 1000, they would have gone almost exclusively to Muslims."
The might and sophistication of the Islamic world was severely shaken in the middle of the thirteenth century with the Mongol invasion. The "Mongol catastrophe," as it came to be known, resulted in the destruction of Muslim cities and the eclipse of the Arab civilization--which would never recover again. The Mongols slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Muslim inhabitants when they invaded Baghdad in 1258. Arab historian Ibn-i Kasir wrote that "such a tragedy has never been witnessed since God created the world."
The Mongol catastrophe devastated the Arabs, but Islam continued to shine under the Ottomans further north. Eventually, though, the Turks declined in relation to the modernizing West, and in World War I their empire was finally destroyed. Muslim nations of North Africa and the Middle East, previously subjects of the Muslim Ottomans, were colonized by European powers. Upcoming decades ushered in worse failures: socio-cultural backwardness, military defeats at the hands of Israel, the collapse of both socialism and Arab nationalism. …

|I tell the stories of my ancestors' lives. Whether they lived 20 years ago or 200 years ago, they each have a story to tell. Some ancestors tell their stories willingly.

Superstar Salman Khan has done a lot of action and stunts in "Kick" and the film's leading lady Jacqueline Fernandez says that the jump from a building was the scariest of them all.
The makers have released an exclusive "making of the action" video of the film.
"The building jump. We could see that building from our hotel and now that I am watching it on screen I am like 'how could they do that?' It's very scary," the 28-year-old said at the video launch.
"Kick", which released Friday, also stars Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. It is producer Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut.

Sandra pays tribute to Matthew McConaughey at American Cinematheque
Matthew McConaughey got a 'stellar' tribute from American Cinematheque last Tuesday (21). Sandra didn't attended, but sent a taped message to him, including a poem she wrote:
A parade of McConaughey's costars, past (Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon) and present (Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway from next month's sci-fi epic "Interstellar") introduced loosely themed clip packages of the 22 years he has spent acting. There were also videotaped well-wishers, including director Richard Linklater, who gave McConaughey his first signature role in "Dazed and Confused," and Sandra Bullock, who recited a poem she wrote that boasted many memorable stanzas, including: "Thank you for your friendship, your loyalty and your trust / And thank you for reminding me it's OK to have a smaller bust." – LA Times
Keanu Reeves talks about his friendship with Sandy
Keanu is promoting his new film John Wick and during an interview at Redditt AMA he was asked who was "the biggest movie star" he could count as a friend.
"Uh, let's see," he wrote, "The biggest movie star I'm friends with would be… uh… Sandra Bullock! Yeah, through the years we kinda get together, have a dinner, catch up, see how it's going."
Reeves and Bullock worked together on Speed back in 1984. During the actor's Reddit AMA, he recalled a fun day of filming "when they let us drive down the street smashing through cars on the bus. And everyone started to scream, hehe, and then laugh when it was over, and it really bonded everyone together," he wrote. "It was early on in the filming, yeah, but it was really fun to be smashing through cars!"

text: Hello friends, I have a problem with continuing the game after defeating the boss of the spider in the Mirkwood. After killing the boss and finish my conversation with Radagast still says I have to look or find Radagast. When I go to the door that allows me to "Continue" to the area near or next mission launched in the history, I can only return to previous levels. The game stops. Apparently this has happened to other people too. I searched for an answer online and people said I have to find a host line that is in the similar chapter, other than the earlier checkpoint in the search. So I enclose to find someone who is in Chapter 5 Part 2 or 3 so you are able to beat the horde of spider and I hope this problem. This is very frustrating as they have been gravely take pleasure in the game the last 2 days. I hope this will be resolved soon. Thanks for your time.

Forensics experts examine the crime scene and car of Vladikavkaz Mayor Vitaly Karayev
MOSCOW (Reuters) – A suspected sniper killed a city mayor in Russia's North Caucasus, the most high-profile murder of an official in years in a region rocked by a violent insurgency.
Vitaly Karayev, mayor of Vladikavkaz, was shot as he left his home and climbed into his silver Mercedes car. A single bullet hole could be seen in the vehicle's rear passenger window, Reuters reporters said at the scene.
Vladikavkaz is capital of the North Ossetia region, which along with the nearby regions of Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan is the scene of frequent bombings and ambushes by rebel gunmen, some of them linked to militant Islam.
"Today at about 9 a.m. (0600 GMT) ... unknown individuals shot at the mayor of Vladikavkaz, Vitaly Karayev," the investigative committee of the Russian Prosecutor-General's Office said in a statement. "Karayev died in hospital from a wound he sustained to his chest ... Judging by the nature of the shot, it could have been carried out by a sniper."
The statement said prosecutors had opened a murder investigation.
President Dmitry Medvedev, who is on a tour of Latin America, asked law enforcement agencies to take all possible measures to investigate the attack, a Kremlin statement said.
No one has taken responsibility for shooting. North Ossetia's leader, Taimuraz Mamsurov, blamed it on "criminals who will stop at nothing to achieve their aims."
Two weeks ago a suspected suicide bomber attacked a minibus outside a Vladikavkaz market, killing 12 people.
Vitaly Karayev
Volatile Region
North Ossetia is a mainly Christian region which has been caught up in a wave of violence that began with a separatist rebellion in Chechnya in the 1990s.
That uprising has since been largely quelled but unrest has spread to neighboring regions.
Insurgents from Chechnya and Ingushetia have been blamed for the 2004 school siege in Beslan – a North Ossetian town a short drive from Vladikavkaz – in which more than 300 people were killed.
Analysts say the insurgency in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus is driven by a mix of clan rivalry, frustration at widespread poverty and militant Islamist groups who want to overthrow Moscow's rule.
North Ossetia has volatile relations with Ingushetia that stem from an outbreak of sectarian violence in 1992 in which hundreds of people were killed. Prosecutors have said the bus bombing may be linked to that conflict.
In a televised address, regional leader Mamsurov slammed his officials for failing to track down those responsible for the acts of violence in North Ossetia this year.
"A challenge has been thrown down to us," he said. "It is our duty today to give a worthy response to the criminals who will stop at nothing to achieve their aims. We must show no mercy to those who prevent our people living in peace."
North Ossetia lies just across the border from Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region, which was the focus of a brief war between Moscow and Tbilisi in August.

Secrets of Success
Wetsuit fits! :) And What It's All About...
Saturday, June 29, 2013
It always seems like I'm taking a risk ordering things online since I don't have the chance to try it on. On top of the fact that I'm flubby in weird places due to weight loss and I can be a rather non-standard fit. I was delightfully surprised when I tried on my wetsuit that just came in and it fit perfect and feels good.
Now I have all of my essential triathlon gear...
Wow, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while...
Anyway, it feels good that my gear isn't tight or overly embarrassing. Even my 2XU trisuit isn't too bad. Last year it looked like I was stuffing 10 lbs of Jello into a 5 lb bag, now its only about 8.5...
Anyway here it is.... the grand unveiling....
So you can see the brand name of the suit... this one is really great! :)
GRRRR It's Gonna Be EPIC!!!
The blue tri-suit is my "base layer". The wetsuit goes on on top of it for the swim, then when I transition to the bike, the wetsuit comes off and I go out on with my tri-suit then continue on into the run. I will, however, probably wear a long sleeve, thin white tech shirt over my tri-suit while on the run so I dont get roasted. Yes there is sunblock but too much exposure and I get really sick so I need to be careful. I will be out there between the swim, bike, and run for about 8.5 hrs maybe a tad less of I have a good tail wind.
For those just tuning in, the triathlon I am doing is 70.3 miles broken down to 1.2 mile swim, 56 miles on the bike, 13.1 miles on the run.
As I look at these photos, I need to remind myself that this is a LONG way from 385 pounds. Through participating in races, I have learned to shed a certain amount of my self consciousness. I have never felt judged or criticized while I have been out on the course and if anything, I get high fives from the more seasoned athletes. At the finish line, at what ever the distance, everyone knows what it took to get there. There is often a sense of mutual respect because of what we all had to overcome to get there.
Ultimately, it isn't about how you look externally. It's all about how much heart you bring to the course and people recognize that.
When you give it your best and leave it all out there. When you have fought the good fight, you earn the most important respect of all... your own.

Opinion pieces on the foodservice equipment and supplies industry from leaders and laymen from all aspects of the business, including dealers, distributors, design consultants and multi-unit operators.
The Disney Corporation sets the gold standard when it comes to creating truly memorable customer experiences. From movies to theme parks to cruise ships and a thousand points of joyful light in between, each time a consumer touches a Disney product the experience they have is second to none.
If any one segment of the foodservice industry has worked tirelessly to shed its negative image from generations past and become a cornerstone of the communities it serves, that segment is healthcare foodservice. Years ago foodservice seemed to be an afterthought for many healthcare operations. Today, though, foodservice takes many forms and plays a leading role in helping healthcare facilities achieve their ultimate mission: serving patients and their support networks.
A Q&A with Angelo Mojica
Energy-efficiency and better use of labor were among the key themes running through the 2013 National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago.
Sustainability is one of my favorite foodservice related topics.
Technomic projects foodservice industry revenues to increase 3.8 percent in 2013 and 4.1 percent in 2014. Leading next year's growth spurt will be a variety of non-commercial foodservice operators.
With roughly six months remaining in 2013, restaurant operators still remain unclear as to how the federal healthcare legislation will impact them in 2014. A few chains, though, continue to move forward cautiously.
Juan Martinez looks ahead to this weekend's National Restaurant Association show.
Education and innovation are critical to the success of most any foodservice company. In this blog post, FE&S Editor Joe Carbonara offers his take on how these two elements of success will play out in the upcoming NRA Show in Chicago.
The foodservice segment continues to gain strength in contrast to the overall economy, which remains mired in a sluggish recovery.
The U.S. economy may be in a funk but the restaurant industry is doing its part to spark growth, according to data released by a variety of independent sources.
