The Role Of The Teacher
A. A. Ahmed
A.A. Ahmed
This article deals with the role of the teacher in the learning process.
Different views of the teacher
The curriculum is a process. It is not a set of documents distributed win a central government office. The curriculum is based on a set of beliefs and views about the classification and organization of knowledge the respective roles of the teacher and learner, and the process of learning.
It may seem obvious that good teaching is carried out by good teachers, but within this simple concept are many diverse issues. Is a good teacher one who comes to school early and stays late? Is he or she one who stimulates the children, writes copious notes about philosophy of education or plans every moment of the day according to a teacher's maul? Does the teacher's dress have any bearing on 'good teaching'? Can the individual who does not speak to his or her neighbours make a good teacher?
The idea of 'good teacher' is not simply a job description related to employment contracts, it is the very essence of educational philosophy. Earlier in the century the 'good teacher' was a 'good disciplinarian'. With this notion came a particular understanding of the curriculum and classroom practice. During the l960s, the teacher was seen as a 'facilitator' inspiring children to 'discover' knowledge. This contrasted with the image of the all-knowledgeable specialist whose job it was to 'till empty vessels' with a commodity called 'knowledge'.
Educationalists have arrived at the conclusion, that effective change in education cannot take place without re-examining the role of' the teacher. This is an on-going process and the teacher is now seen as a 'reflective practitioner' or 'an artist who is constantly striving to improve his or her art'. Stenhouse (1985) made a 'call to arms' saying that 'the way ahead is to disseminate the idea of teacher as artist with the implication that artists exercise autonomy of judgement founded upon research directed towards the improvement of their art.'
Teachers need to reflect. They need to improve, but improvement does not take place in a vacuum. It takes place in discussion about issues. The contribution of early Muslim philosophers and educationalists can make an interesting contribution to this discussion.
The role of the teacher in Islamic education
The Prophet Muhammad,upon him be peace, affirmed: 'Verily I was sent as a teacher.' and himself established the status and role of the teacher. He chose, prepared and sent Companions to teach whole communities. Of all aspects of Islamic education, the role of the teacher has been the most clearly defined one.
The teacher has always been more important than the books. Imam al-Shafi'i, the famous jurist, said: 'Whoever learns from books will miss the required achievement' (lbn Jumah, p.87). Among the most concise descriptions of the teacher's role was written by Imam al-Ghazali (d, 505H/ 1113) in his Ihya Ulum al-Din. ('The Revival of the Islamic Sciences') and his Ayyuha 1-Walad ('0 Child!'). A text written nearly a hundred years later and covering similar themes and used in training teachers. Ta'lim al-Muta'allim by al-Zamuji. has also been translated into English. Below we summarise some of the main principles of teaching according to al-Ghazali.
Ghazali's view of teaching and learning
Ghazali likens studying to the acquisition of wealth. There are four states in both. One may he:
1 actively seeking them but relying on others
2 self sufficient and independent
3 enjoying one's hard-earned acquisition
4 enjoying and sharing one's acquisition with others.
The fourth state is the highest. The one who shares his wealth is charitable. The one who shares his knowledge is a teacher. The Prophet upon him he peace said: 'The best of you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it.' However, not all who claim to be teachers fall into this category.
In his hook al-Bidaya ,Ghazali describes three types of teacher: 'There is a man who seeks knowledge as a provision for the life to come ... he is of the successful ones'. There is the one who seeks knowledge for worldly benefit. This person is in jeopardy. It is possible that his knowledge will save him and he will repent before he dies. If he does not repent, he may be faced with a bad ending and punishment in the Next World. The third type has been overcome by the devil. He has chosen knowledge as a means to get wealth and influence. In addition to this evil intention he has become arrogant and feels he has obtained a high status with God. Such a person is among those who will be punished in the Hellfire. To be of the first category, Ghazali prescribes eight duties.
1 Empathy with one's students
The teacher is often likened to the parent. He should feel the same sense of duty and love that the parent feels. The Prophet upon him be peace said: 'I am to you like the father to his child.'
2 Not working for remuneration
Teachers do the work of the Prophets,that is they educate people in the ways of goodness. The Prophets did not ask for remuneration. They said : 'Oh my people, I ask you not for riches. My reward is of God alone' (Hud. ll.29), Teachers should not feel that their students 'owe' them anything. They should always give the students full credit and respect for disciplining themselves in order to come close to God. Teachers should not feel pride in what they have done. Although a teacher is allowed to take payment, anyone that teaches for money will soon lose the satisfaction and pleasure of teaching. Payment is a necessary but secondary aspect of a teacher's motivation. The Messenger, upon him be peace said: 'Three things which (society) cannot do without: paying of teachers, otherwise people would be ignorant: the selling of Qur'ans otherwise the Book would become rare: and judges. otherwise people would 'eat' one another.'
3 Guidance through the programme of study
The teacher should never hold back good advice. The religion is built on good counsel. Guiding the student is part of the religion. Groundwork must always be covered before attempting new tasks and approaching new concepts. 'Guidance' means reminding the student of the goal of study and condemning any desire for power boasting and competition.
4 Sensitivity and gentleness in addressing students
As a 'guide' the teacher should 'drive away' bad characteristics. This requires sensitivity and gentleness. Reprimand should take the form of suggestion as much as possible and guidance should not be through rebuking. Rebuking and outright and direct prohibition invite defiance and encourage stubbornness.
5 Respect for other disciplines
The teacher must never belittle other fields of knowledge in front of his students. He should respect them and prepare his students to study all useful knowledge without impressing on them his or her own personal interests.
6 Matching the lesson to what the student can understand
The teacher should follow the Prophets about whom the Prophet Muhammad said: 'We Prophets have been commanded to place people in their rightful places and to speak to them according to their ability to understand.' Giving students concepts which are beyond their comprehension may lead to misunderstanding and frustration. For this reason Jesus said: 'Do not hang pearls around the necks of pigs.' The teacher has to assess and evaluate the students' level and then plan and guide.
7 Dealing with remedial learners
Not all people are the same. The teacher has to ensure, while helping learners to fulfil their potential that they are not given work or exposed to concepts which confuse and frustrate them. Some knowledge is compulsory. The teacher has to make sure the student attains this knowledge and then, sometimes, protect the student from going too far into what might cause harm.
8 Practising what one preaches
It is important that the teachers' actions match what they teach. The student learns through observation of behaviour. Teachers open themselves to ridicule and accusation if their conduct belies their teachings. He will, through such behaviour, only encourage secret or open disobedience and bad character. In this respect a learned person has a greater responsibility than an ignorant one.
To be of the 'best of people' is not easy. The reward is great but so is the responsibility. The descriptions found in the works of Ghazali are as important today as they were 900 years ago. They are based on the words of the greatest of teachers. one who showed us how to fulfil that great role.

We don't believe in killing Innocent People and Security Officials!
By Tukur Mamu
While it is not yet clear as at press time whether there is crisis among followers of the Jamaatu Ahlil Sunna Wal daa Wati popularly called Boko Haram, as a new video exclusively obtained by DESERT HERALD has shown the emergence of another radical sect by name Jama'atu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladi Sudan.
While the Boko Haram has so far restricted its operations to Nigeria and precisely the north east, the new group headed by one that goes with a pseudo name of Abu Usamatul Ansar will defend the interest of Islam and Muslims in Africa. To some, the sect headed by Ansar is seen as one that will compliment the 'struggle' by the Boko Haram sect under Imam Abubakar Shekau but to many it is an indication that all is not well with the leadership of the Boko Haram sect and that there has been conflict about its ideology and its understanding of Islam hence the decision to form a new group.
While the Boko Haram sect considers every non Muslim including Christians as enemies that must be killed, the Jamaatu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladi Sudan under Ansar in the exclusive video did not believe in killing innocent non Muslims except "in self defense or if they attack Muslims like the cases we have in Jos". And while the Boko Haram considers any security agents including the para military whether big or the smallest rank as a 'legitimate' target for elimination , the Ansar group said they don't believe in killing innocent security operatives except if they are attacked by them or in self defense. The name Jamaatul Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan meaning the Group that dedicates itself to helping Muslims in Africa, its logo, aims and objectives according to the new leader of the sect, Abu Usamatul Ansar in the exclusive video that shows him addressing his commanders is to correct the concept, meaning and purpose of JIhad in Islam.
In the exclusive video which was made in Arabic and translated in Hausa and English, Usamatul Ansar's speech clearly indicates that their understanding of Jihad in Islam is different from the one being adopted by the Boko Haram sect. He said the Jamaatu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladi Sudan considers anybody that accepted the khalimatush shahada (believing in one God and Prophet Muhammad PBUH as the messenger of Allah) as a Muslim who must not be killed except he/she has committed an act that is punishable by death as stated in the holy Qur'ran. "Islam forbids killing of innocent people including non Muslims. This is our belief and we stand for it", Ansar said.
Ansar said they will not target or kill any security personnel in the name of Jihad but that they will protect the interest of Muslims and Islam anywhere in Africa and that they expect the government to allow them to freely practice their religion and to always do justice to the people.
He said recent attacks on Muslims in Jos and Kaduna during the Eld-el fitr prayer and in the aftermath of the presidential election violence is unacceptable to them. He emphasizes that the holy Prophet Muhammad has indeed leaved with non Muslims and even Jews but on the condition that they will not do anything to harm them directly or indirectly. But Ansar said they will always attack any group or religion that attack Islam and Muslims. He said the rampant massacre of Muslims in Nigeria will no longer be tolerated and that they will never attack any religion or government institution that didn't attack them and their religion.
Even though the leader of the Boko Haram, Imam Shekau, did not make any comment about the emergence of the new group and whether or not it is not as a result of the reported division between them that resulted to the purported breakup, many believe that there is indeed feud between those that are opposed to the rampant and indiscriminate killings of Muslims, which are the radical elements under Shekau, and those that are opposed to such killings under Usamatrul Ansar.
According to DESERT HERALD source within the Boko Haram sect, the content of the video clearly shows that there is a division among the Boko Haram members on the method of their operations, target and the killing of the military, police and even paramilitary officials by the Boko Haram sect.
What remains to be seen is whether or not these purported division, crisis and the emergence of a 'splinter' group in Boko Haram will affect its influence, operations and its future. So far and as at press time DESERT HERALD could not confirm the percentage or the number of 'commandos within the Boko Haram sect that defied Malam Abubakar Shekau and formed the Jamaatul Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan but sources said significant number of the Boko Haram sect have shifted loyalty to the new leader of the Jamaatu Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan under Abu Usamatul Ansary .
It remains to be seen whether the two sects will engage in rivalry due to differences in belief and understanding of Islam or they will work together according to Boko Haram's commander in charge of suicide mission, Abu Fatima.

|While bluegrass samplers are by no means rare, it's unusual to encounter one as well thought-out as this generous (and mid-priced) package from Smithsonian Folkways, the folk label known more for its ethnomusicological field recordings than its bluegrass albums. Cynics will point out that this collection comes hot on the heels of the success of the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? and its soundtrack, but they miss the point: if bluegrass becomes trendy for a while and the result is fine albums like this one that wouldn't otherwise have an audience, then everyone benefits. The artists on Classic Bluegrass From Smithsonian Folkways range from the obvious (Bill Monroe, the Country Gentlemen, Doc Watson, the Stanley Brothers) through the influential but obscure (Red Allen, the Lilly Brothers) to the just plain obscure (Smiley Hobbs, Hugh Moore, banjo innovator Roger Sprung), and the result is a thorough overview that offers as much musical satisfaction as scholarly edification. Many of the songs selected were recorded live, and those are among the best performances: the Johnson Mountain Boys deliver a bit of pitch-perfect high-lonesome heartbreak on "Our Last Goodbye," while the Friendly City Playboys kick things into high gear with the hard-edged "Teardrops in My Eyes." Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard illustrate an important thematic stream in bluegrass songwriting with their rendition of the horrifying "Tiny Broken Heart," and the Stanley Brothers reveal some of the roots of bluegrass with their performance of "Little Birdie" (on which Ralph Stanley plays banjo in the older "clawhammer" style). Highly recommended, especially to anyone looking for an introduction to the genre. ~ Rick Anderson

A faulty landing gear door sensor prompted a plane's emergency landing Wednesday afternoon at the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (CHO).
Airport officials say a United turboprop that was headed to Dulles took off from CHO around 2:00 p.m. when the landing gear warning light came on. There was concern the landing gear door wasn't closed, and the gear would collapse when the plane landed.
The pilots decided to return to CHO, landed safely and found the landing gear door was indeed closed.
Forty people were on board at the time.
The plane is being inspected.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Daryl Stephenson, right, celebrates his touchdown with teammate Bakari Grant against the Montreal Alouettes during CFL football action in Hamilton, Saturday, July 21, 2012.
Chris Williams collected 242 all-purpose yards, got booed by his home fans for showboating and threw up on national TV. He also helped spark the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to a 39-24 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday night at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Here's how it went down.
After struggling to generate turnovers through the early part of the season, the Ticats got one early when linebacker Rey Williams intercepted Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo's first pass of the game. Williams returned the pick 53 yards to the Alouette eight-yard line and it took Ticat pivot Henry Burris just one play to find Bakari Grant in the end zone for a quick 7-0 lead.
Hamilton extended the advantage on their next possession, Burris orchestrating a 12-play, 65-yard drive that benefitted from two infractions from Montreal linebacker Chip Cox. A short toss to Daryl Stephenson sealed the deal and the Ticats were up 14-0 with more than five minutes still to play in the opening quarter.
The Als responded. Calvillo threw a 54-yard strike to S.J. Green to set up Montreal deep in Ticat territory and three plays later Brandon Whittaker caught a dump pass and scampered into the end zone to cut the lead in half.
The next big play came via special teams when Darcy Brown burst through the middle of the Montreal punt formation, blocked the kick and recovered the fullback. But the Ticats – after taking a 13-yard loss on second-and-one –could only manage a single point when Luca Congi missed from 32 yards. It was Congi's first misfire on the year.
A miss by Alouette's kicker Sean Whyte was far more costly, however. His 50-yard boot went wide right – and into the arms of Chris Williams. After returning a missed field goal 119 yards for a touchdown last week, Williams went 117 yards this time around and looked set to score again but started his celebration a touch early, turning around to face his pursuers around the ten-yard line. He got hauled down at the one.
While Williams became an instant Twitter villain, it mattered little: Chevon Walker punched it in and gave Hamilton a 22-7 lead. Williams would lose his lunch a little later in quarter, captured in high definition by TSN: it sparked another round of Twitter hijinks.
Whyte managed a 45-yarder on Montreal's next series – denying Williams a shot a redemption in the process – but the Ticats responded with yet another touchdown drive. Williams caught a 41-yard pass from Burris and Walker finished it off once again, this time taking a five-yard pass off a pretty play fake and waltzing into the end zone.
They weren't done: Burris ran six plays in 1:17 moving the ball 68 yards and setting up a Congi chip shot from 22 on the half's final play to make it 32-10. The team got a standing ovation as they left the field.
But the Ticats have struggled in the third quarter of games this season – they'd been outscored by 21 coming into this week – and the Alouettes went to work. Calvillo hit Brandon London from 32 yards out, a beautiful throw into double coverage and then put together an eight-play, 92-yard drive that ended with 12-yard pass to Patrick Lavoie. When it was all said an done, Montreal started the final frame trailing by just eight.
Luckily, the Ticats left the bad juju behind when they started the fourth with scoring drive, Burris connected with Andy Fantuz from 26-yards out and made it 39-24, allowing the Ivor Wynne crowd to resume breathing.
From there, the Ticats defence and the raucous Ivor Wynne crowd more or less brought it home. Calvillo threw for almost 400 yards and three touchdowns but finally ran out of steam with under two minutes to go when the Alouettes turned it over on downs at the Ticats 20.
With the win, Hamilton moves 2-2 and into first place in the East Division courtesy of wins over both Montreal and Toronto. They travel to Regina next Saturday for a match up against the league's only remaining undefeated team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Notes: Attendance was 23,392... the Ticats honoured kicker Paul Osbaldiston at halftime as part of the celebrations for the final season of Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Let no one say Savannah Republican U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston hides in a conservative media bunker. Today he had a tough interview with MSNBC host Thomas Roberts on the subject of gun control in light of Friday's tragedy in Connecticut. Kingston said gun control laws should be under discussion, but the discussion should also include mental illness and other aspects of mass shootings.
A key moment comes around the 7:30 mark, after Kingston describes mass shootings in Europe that occurred in spite of strict gun laws:
Roberts: So there's nothing we can do? …. We need to just be complacent in the fact that we can send our children to school to be assassinated?
Kingston: Thomas, I think one of the problems we have on the gun control debate is it immediately starts dividing people into: 'You disagree with me, therefore you are the enemy.' I've opened up by saying let's put gun control up for discussion. Let's include mental health. Let's put video games, let's put home background in there. And I think where there is some common ground you could say the storage of weapons. But when we immediately start saying, 'Well, you want this, therefore you dislike children,' it's not productive to the debate.

After much soul searching I have thrown my whole hearted support to both the First and Second Amendments. The First Amendment is just as dangerous as the Second. It's not only the guns that kill innocent people. It's the spoken word of the freedom of expression crowd. TV, radio, internet, and especially the congress, that must be stopped from exercising and and all the rights of freedom. How stupid it was for the founding fathers to have ever adopted such nonsense.

@Baron DeKalb -
I'd be careful with your argument about wanting to go with the "original intent" of the second amendment. The original intent of the second amendment was to allow able-bodied men to form a well-regulated militia complete with weapons in order to maintain their freedom from any form of oppression. Therefore, under the "original intent" of the second amendment, people would be able to own any form of available weapon to maintain the ability to form such a well-regulated militia.
Also, the second amendment says the right to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed. I'm not sure how you define "bear" but it certainly has nothing to do with keeping weapons in the home… that would be the keep part.
FYI, the Constitution does not "grant" rights… it merely protects them. The first ten amendments of the Constitution were considered by our founding fathers to be inviolable. I'm not sure about you, but I consider them to be legal and scholarly geniuses. I think they were right on the money with the Bill of Rights.
The fact that we are willing to give up rights for the sake of safety is scary to me.

Banning ownership of assult rifles would have prevented the latest shooter from getting that gun from his mother. Gun supporters say banning such would just take guns away form 'law abiding' citizens. Wouldn't that be exactly the point here? It seems incredulous that she, a 'law abiding citizen', would buy such wepons and then teach her son ('who shouldn't be left alone for a second') how to use them.

Washington DC and Chi Town ought to be safest cities on earth,,as they have stringent gun controls and the basic outlawing of guns. These two cities lead the world in gun crimes. Murder, etc.
FIX the soul, fix the heart, fix the broken homes, broken minds, then you fix crime.
Government cannot fix anything, people. They caused most of this.

They are willing to give up rights for a sense of safety that doesn't exist. You certainly won't be safer when the guy on the street attacks you with a knife. You certainly won't be safer when somebody kicks down your door in a home invasion. You certainly won't be safer when a guy gets a gun on the black market and does the exact same thing that was done on Friday.
I've lived in a neighborhood where I was awoken to gunshots on a regular basis. It was not long after when I got my first handgun. That sense of helplessness is one that I hope to never feel again.

The nation's largest gun-rights organization — typically outspoken about its positions even after shooting deaths — has gone all but silent since last week's rampage at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 26 people dead, including 20 children.
Its Facebook page has disappeared. It has posted no tweets.
Why is the mighty NRA (proud owners of many politicians') Hiding?

The 2nd Ammendment states:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
You liberal sissies that are on here mindlessly babbling about, "assault weapons", and "high capacity clips" have no idea what you are talking about as 90% of you have never even held a firearm let alone loaded or shot one. You idiots are hell bent on taking away everyone's liberties and rights and are probably the same weenies whining about Silent Night being sung at the Christmas play.
You liberals that state that,"only the military and police should have guns" will be the first to line up for the RFID chips and will go sit in a corner and wet yourself while waiting for the police to come save you when the SHTF! Good luck wiith that.
If you want to end the senseless tragedies such as the one that we have recently endured then lets talk about separating the mentally ill from the rest of society, let's talk about outlawing the mind-altering pharmaceuyticals that you start pumping into your children at an early age.
I've shed my share of tears over the CT tragedy and I'm also very angry. I'm a responsible person that enjoys sport shooting, pays my taxes and have never had as much as a speediing ticket yet feel like I have to defend my thoughts on my God given rights.
How come no one mentions the 2,000 children that are murdered through abortion every single day?
How come no one bothers to bring up the thousands of innocent children that have been murdered through drone attacks in other countries?
You people need to get your heads out of your a….!

The absolute refusal of the NRA and its supporters to even consider any suggestion that might keep guns out of irresponsible hands will ultimately be the causation of more strenous gun control laws than they ever imagined.
Do you believe George Wallace,those sheriff's deputies at the Edmund Pettis bridge, or those Church bombers in Birmingham figured there actions would have a completely different reaction?
NRA. If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem and just may become extinct ala the KKK (once a huge group).

There is no such thing as an assault rifle. Assault. Is a human behaviour. A person could put to death with a ball at . This makes the weapon something you are assaulted with. All of my firearms are for sport or for defense. Not for offense. This includes my ar15.

I consider myself to be on the liberal side of the spectrum, but I have no issues at all with gun ownership, and that includes high powered rifles like AR-15's, AK-47's, and the like. What kills me though is when people swear up and down that situations like this could have been avoided if the teachers had been armed. There's no guarantee of that.
You are right that there was/is no guarantee that this would be stopped but if that poor Principal had been armed then at least there would have been A chance instead of her going out there trying to stop him unarmed and being gunned down. The police were at the school within 18 minutes (which by most standards is a great response time). The real wake up call is that we can not depend on the police to stop these types of killers and we must do something to protect ourselves and our children.

Yes, God has granted us the right to owning as many firearms as possible, with as much capacity to kill as many as possible in a matter of minutes. I think it's in Leviticus. Praise Jesus! God bless America, and nobody else!

All you Dems here calling for a ban on 'assault weapons': The deadliest mass shooting in US history – at Virginia Tech – was carried out by a man carrying only two handguns. He killed over 30 people.
Also: when a crazy person steals a car and proceeds to drive it into a crowd of people and kills 20 of them before the car stops, should we ban cars? It's no different than a mass shooting. The intention is the same – to kill lots of people – only the tool is different.

Well said, Retired Soldier.
The statists who want to abolish the Second Amendment are the same ones that say we can't do anything about illegal immigration. They say we couldn't possibly find and "round-up" 12 million illegals. But now they say we should find and round-up 200 million firearms.
Liberals have trashed God, prayer, charitable giving, free enterprise, our Constitution, and our way of life. They have embraced abortion, taxpayer-funded contraceptives, medical marijuana, Hollywood's violent movies, the growth of single-parent households, permissiveness, the drug culture, a war on religion, an expansionist, intrusive government, and indebtedness that will end our standard of living.
With a self-created, twisted society as the backdrop, the secularists propose the way to end gun violence is to take away the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.
You'll understand if I "Just Say No" since your track record in solving societal problems is abysmal. How's that War on Poverty working for you?

You don't need the intellect of Einstein to figure out that we have a gun problem in this country… The best way to solve this problem is by banning all hand guns, ban all concealable guns… Ban all semi-automatic guns that are designed for killing humans… The only guns that should be legal are long rifles and shot guns with a maximum 5 shot capacity, that are designed for hunting game and target shooting…

One more thought: Obamacare will kill more people on a daily basis than were killed in this recent tragedy. This will occur because of market distortions that will reduce both the quality of and access to medical care.
The difference is that the names of those whose lives are shortened by Obamacare will never be on TV for 6 days straight. And many will not be children.
Suddenly Democrats care about children now–as long as they make it through the gestation process and arrive safely at home.

Christ, as a teacher I now have to attend firearms training in addition to my other duties?
No. But if there are other faculty members of your school who have the ability and wherewithal to attend firearms training and use the weapon in the event of an emergency, that would be sufficient.
As to collecting "registered guns", guns aren't registered in most states. Further, the only record of them might be a NICS background check at the point of transfer from an FFL. So Feds know what has been sold at some point in the past, but that is not an indication of where the firearm is currently.
Confiscating firearms from 80 MILLION households is no small feat.
To suggest that firearms have no business in this, or any other, society is to ignore the plight of every abused citizenry, from current day Syria to mid 18th century America. The only constant is that , eventually, all governments come to overstep their bounds.
Before the advent of guns, thugs formed gangs and terrorized the local populace, travelers, etc. Much like the gangs using twitter and facebook to descend on a store and rip them off. THAT is the fate of America without guns.
The SCOTUS ruled, in 2005, that the police have no duty to protect you. (Warren vs. DC and Castle Rock vs. Gonzolez). YOU are responsible for your own protection. Right now, your neighbor's gun and the possibility that you might have a gun serve as a deterrent to anyone who might want to do you harm in your own home. There is a reason why these mentally ill idiots choose soft targets.
The AWB of 2004 limited hi cap magazines. EVERY SINGLE STUDY on the affect of that ban showed that banning hi cap magazines had ZERO affect on crime. If AWB worked, they would have worked in CA, IL, CT, NY, etc.

Removing guns from law abiding citizens fits neatly with Obama crony Harry Belafonte's belief expressed last week that everyone who disagrees with Obama should be imprisoned. See, people are easier to subdue, capture, imprison, and torture when they are unarmed.

"Suddenly Democrats care about children now–as long as they make it through the gestation process and arrive safely at home."
It is nice to debate the 2nd Amendment on philosophical grounds but let us not fool ourselves. Democrats can say all they want that they are taking these stands to "protect children" but when 2000 children are killed each and everyday by their mother's following the policies of the Democratic party their "save the children" stance is just a bunch of BS. It is all about getting rid of guns.

December 18th, 2012

Wasn't the mother of the shooter considered 'responsible' by most standards? Shouldn't certain guns have been kept out of her hands so she couldn't have taught her (apparently) irresponsible son how to use them? Did she need a gun for protection in her safe town? We all see the results. And the answer is clear.
December 18th, 2012
6:01 pm
Idontgetit: you are right, there IS an issue here. The mother would have legally been considered responsible right up to the time she taught her mentally ill son to use a gun, and left a gun where he could access it. Yes, there is something there to be considered. But in the U.S. of A, we are innocent until proven guilty… even the mentally ill. Perhaps all gun owners should be required to keep their guns either on their person, or in a safe with a biometric lock? But that still wouldn't help if the owner allowed their mentally ill children to access the safe. You can never legislate stupidity away. But it certainly IS the responsibility of gun owners to do everything they can to keep others from accessing their guns… a step the mother did not take.
Making the gun easily available to the owner, but to no one else, is the key. Even then… you can't legislate common sense.

td, seems to me that the mother of the shooter had quite the little arsenal at her disposal, and she's very dead too. I suppose, though, that the element of surprise is never taken into account by those who haven't heard a loud angry shot, but foolishly advocate a solution lying in arming more people.
And, by the way, the Heller decision that discounted the prefatory clause and discerned the individual right was a 5-4 decision. That means that your individual right hangs by a thread — just one old man. Time for the gun-happy to be prudently reasonable, don't you think?

The NRA did not kill the children.
The NRA teaches gun safety courses (Eddie Eagle) to hundreds of thousands of children and teaches women and the elderly "How Not to be a Victim" through its educational endeavors.
Abolishing the NRA (which would be removing their First Amendment rights) would not have stopped these killings.
The laws and measures that people such as Dianne Feinstein propose would not have prevented this tragedy. So if none of the measures proposed would have prevented the problem, what is your purpose in supporting such nonsensical measures? Do you just want to feeeeel like you are doing something?
Liberals do this all the time. With their proposed tax measures they acknowledge that taxing the upper income families won't do anything to reduce the deficit. When asked why, then, would he support such a measure, President Obama replied "fairness".
Liberals don't aim to solve problems. They never do. Their aim is to abolish the Constitution one inconvenient amendment at a time so as to consolidate their power.
The Columbine shooting happened smack in the middle of the earlier "assault" weapons ban. It did nothing.
Do you propose we do something that accomplishes nothing again?
December 18th, 2012

I have read most of the above posts. Not all of them to be sure. Some of them made my head hurt. Some were downright hilarious. Pretty much par for the course for an internet flame war.
But what you are discussing is serious business, not adolescent word games.
Many years ago this republic was established by men who had just fought a bloody eight year war against their own government for the right to decide their own fate without having it dictated by a king. Many of their fellows died in the struggle. In the process, they had to, in some cases, fight and kill their own neighbors and kin. Do not trivialize what they had to go through so you could enjoy the ability to vent on this blog.
In an attempt to make sure you and their other decendants did not have to repeat the process, they added a Bill of Rights to the constitution in an attempt to limit the power of their new government. There is a preamble document that goes with that Bill of Rights that explains why they added it. That preamble is rarely covered in American schools because many feel it is no longer "Politically Correct". I'm going to suggest that you look it up and read it carefully before you attempt to "improve" the system they created.
I'm also going to suggest you research te various groups in this country that take defence of the founders republic very seriously. They believe that the current state of our government is unsustainable. Even if you disagree with them, and I'm sure many of you do. You must remember that they are not only willing to fight for it or willing to die for it. They are willing to kill any who threaten it. Unless you are willing to go toe to toe with them in a combat situation you had best consider carefully what you urge your government to do in the next days and weeks.
Raw emotion, like you have vented above, makes for very poor legidlation, but is extremely useful for provokeing a civil war.
Unless you can put 20 rounds into a man sized target at 500 meters in under a minute, you may not want to go there. You are not ready.
They are.

Here is the text of the NRA statement on the Connecticut school shootings, released Tuesday Dec. 18.
The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.
Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.
The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.
The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, DC area on Friday, December 21.
Details will be released to the media at the appropriate time.

Are you so foolish as to think that YOUR rights as a citizen of this country would not be endangered by a ruling against the Second Amendment? If you abrogate one of the rights PROTECTED by the Constitution, what prevents the further usurpation of all of our "unalienable rights"? It would be a prudent thing to think through what is being advocated primarily by liberals before signing on for the entire tour.

Thorough Cleansing
"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you" (Ezekiel 36:25).
What an exceeding joy is this! He who has purified us with the blood of Jesus will also cleanse us by the water of the Holy Spirit. God hath said it, and so it must be, "Ye shall be clean." LORD, we feel and mourn our uncleanness, and it is cheering to be assured by Thine own mouth that we shall be clean. Oh, that Thou wouldst make a speedy work of it! He will deliver us from our worst sins. The uprisings of unbelief and the deceitful lusts which war against the soul, the vile thoughts of pride, and the suggestions of Satan to blaspheme the sacred name-all these shall be so purged away as never to return. He will also cleanse us from all our idols, whether of gold or of clay: our impure loves and our excessive love of that which in itself is pure. That which we have idolized shall either be broken from us or we shall be broken off from it. It is God who speaks of what He Himself will do. Therefore is this word established and sure, and we may boldly look for that which it guarantees to us. Cleansing is a covenant blessing, and the covenant is ordered in all things and sure.

Started in wrong place, on the E3 5c to the left. Mini epic completed, got down again-just. After a rest, tried again. Bold lower down, and a wobbly hold which i avoided due to no decent pro nearby. Joy to get the ledge at 15m; but then higher up the corner moves are HARD! esp. getting off the grassy ledge. Then a steep sting with peg below at the very top.

So. Carolina high school football player dies after making tackle
Hartsville, SC, United States (4E Sports) – A tragic incident occurred during a high school football game when an 18-year-old player collapsed and died after making a tackle.
Playing in his final homecoming game as a senior, defensive tackle Ronald House of the Hartsville Red Foxes collapsed in the sideline after tackling an opponent from Crestwood High School.
Hartsville mayor Mel Pennington, in an e-mail sent to media, said the 6-3, 320-pound Rouse stayed on the ground after the tackle. Team officials helped him to his feet and led him to the sideline, where he collapsed.
Pennington said emergency professionals worked vigorously to resuscitate Rouse while rushing him to the hospital, but their efforts were to no avail. He was declared dead on arrival.
"At this time, there is no known cause of death, and an autopsy will be conducted on Saturday to help officials make sense of this shocking occurrence," he said.
The two teams played until halftime after Rouse was taken off the field in the second quarter. When Rouse's death was known, the second half of the game was suspended and both teams went to the hospital in a sign of solidarity.
Pennington urged all Hartsville natives to "take a moment and ask God to be with this family, to help them find peace in this chaos, and to help this team deal with the grief and shock of losing a brother."
He ordered all flags to be flown at half-mast in Rouse's honor.

Featured Author: Lucy Jane Bledsoe
Next Featured Author: Avery Ellis
Meet Our Featured Author, Ellis Avery -
The New York Press called her "the Best Writer You've Never Heard of But Should Go Read Right Now."
Ellis Avery's first novel, The Teahouse Fire, received the Lambda Literary Award, the Ohioana Library Award and was named a Booksense pick and Kiriyama Prize Notable Book. The book has been translated into Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian and German.
Ellis Avery studied Japanese tea ceremony for five years in New York and Kyoto, and now teaches creative writing at Columbia University. Her work has appeared in The Village Voice, Publishers Weekly, Kyoto Journal, LIT, and Pacific Reader, as well as onstage at New York's Expanded Arts Theater.
* Review form the American Library Association -
Avery, a longtime student of the Japanese tea ceremony, has set her first novel in late-nineteenth-century Japan, when that tradition-steeped nation gradually exposed itself to the modern West. She weaves a memorable saga of two women: Yukako, the daughter of a respected "tea advisor" to feudal lords, and Aurelia, a French orphan who traveled to Kyoto at age nine with her uncle, and was adopted by the tea master's family after he died.
Avery adroitly conveys the intricacies of the tea ceremony, "the language of diplomacy," and the subtle ways in which it was transformed as Japan moved from a Shogun society to one ruled by the emperor. At the same time, she illuminates other social changes, such as the arrival of the steam engine, women no longer blackening their teeth, and the lifting of the ban on Christianity. Aurelia remains Yukako's stalwart friend through doomed romances and a disappointing marriage, telling her, when Yukako resumes her father's tea ceremonies after his death, "You took an art that could have died, and you made it live."

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
It was another great win. I was a little baffled by the short bench the last couple of games, but I can see how it might work. Maybe JJ gets the message that if he wants to play much in the second half, he needs to work hard on defense from the opening tip. Meyers may finally realize that he'll get some real playing time and prevent Coach Stotts from putting in Joel and Luke if he'll just buckle down and concentrate on his positioning. Meanwhile Will knows he's on a very short leash, and Nolan gets to concentrate on his future, as in which foreign language he should be learning, all this thanks to acquisition of Eric Maynor. When they are good, these Blazers are very, very good. When they are bad...well, right now let's just enjoy the good.
great to pick up another win, especially on the 2nd of a b2b. i wasn't able to really follow the game since i was on the road, but i've read the recaps and examined the boxscore. it really seemed like a balanced, solid win. Wesley had a great offensive game and LaMarcus was solid as usual. i love what we're seeing from Meyers. love it when we see him strong on the boards.i'm not anticipating much out of the Thunder game, but i think we've got a shot. my only real issue is Stotts' rotations. i don't think it will hurt us to play guys like Joel and Luke a few more minutes (and letting Jared rot at the end of the bench is ridiculous). these guys don't have to play extended minutes, but we've seen that they can contribute when given a chance.then again, it appears management has already made the decision on these guys. i would anticipate that it's all but been decided that Luke, Jared, Sasha and Nolan will be gone this summer. i think there will be room for a couple of them, but it really seems the decision has already been made. at this point, that seems unfortunate to me.~ KMM
Mike: I learned long ago not to give up on the Blazers, so when Atlanta pushed the tempo in the third and got up by 11. I just imitated replying to the Atlanta announcers, that you haven't seen what the Blazers can bring in the forth. They kept saying that Leonard was to young and raw and it was doubtful that he would even make it in the NBA, I just said to myself, just wait and see. Plus, IMO, I just wanted the Blazers to keep fighting and be competitive as long as they could, so for me they had already won, but was still sure we would see a big comeback with these no quit Blazers. Boy! I was not disappointed. Another great game by my standards.Don't be surprised if we are still in the position to win the game in OKC.Can't wait.
Meyers Leonard tied a career high in rebounds with 9. I was hoping for the 10th one, but nevertheless, he matched what he did in Dallas in November which was Lillard's first bad game of his career.Out of the games I picked the Blazers may sneak away with, the last two weren't on my list. The game in Philly was on for sure and I had slight hopes in Milwaukee.Mike, interesting stats you brought up again after the game about the Blazers being 15-18 against teams under .500, but are 18-18 against teams over .500 really tell a story about games they let get away from them, especially at home like losing to Sacramento, Cleveland, Washington (there maybe others I could include on the list) really do sting in this playoff hunt.But lets just focus on the home losses to Cleveland, Washington and Sacramento. Hypothetically if the Blazers had just taken care of business on those games, our wins and losses would be in reverse with 36 wins and 33 losses, which would put the Blazers a half game over the Lakers right now for the 8th seed in the playoffs. That thought also stings.I really hoped for a playoff birth and give up the pick to Charlotte than keeping it (though we still could miss the playoffs and give up the pick since it is top 12 protected) because of the weak draft as this is a good year to give it up and it's good experience for the young guys to play in a playoff atmosphere as I would love to see how Damian does in the playoffs. I'd like to see him challenge Derrick Rose's points in a game as a rookie.I also hope Claver gets back soon. He brings a lot more to the game than what you see in the box scores. He looks to be a very solid role player for us in the upcoming years. I haven't seen any word yet if he'll be ready after this road trip.
Atlanta loss is due to the 3 pointers 7/24 = 29.2 %; not enough 2 points attempted with a good 50,8 %. Portland tried 10 more 2 points, which is good, though with a still bit low 44.9 %. Very good 10/18 = 55.6 % 3 pointers. The 2 points effectivity has still to be improved. Only 21 % of the attempted shoots were 3 pointers for Blazers; which is also a good percentage. Should never be more than 25 %.
Hi Mike and thank you for your blog again on the road! I am going to simplify things here. Our defense won both games: Chicago and Atlanta. It was a different Blazer team that stepped up. If this continues, then a playoff run might be possible? I could go on and on but it would do no good....we all know, right? We have one of the best starting 5 teams in the league...now if we can get the best finishing 5 in the league then we could be a very scary team...just pieces away my Blazer fans. I have to say, this season has gone beyond my expectations and I am proud of them. Anything more is now a bonus....peace out,daddylogan
Hi Mike,On back to back games we see many teams put up a good fight only to run out of gas in the 4th qtr. What do the Blazers do? They found another gear. Amazing.I think we caught the Bulls and Atlanta sleeping. No matter what the home team brings to the court the traveling team must come to play. Well done boys.Damian is the type of player that while watching the game you think he is struggling. The opposing team has put their entire defensive focus on pushing him away from his spots. Then you look up and the kid has 20 points. He is truly special. This is the playoffs for Portland. The shortened rotation is possible because of the effective play of Maynor and Meyers. Starter minutes are about the same. Are they big minutes? Yes. It is win or go home. Player development must take a back burner.GO BLAZERS!!
@Divotking: With this lineup and rotation, it is player development. Maynor is new, and we need to see what he can bring and how he can develop. Meyers is young and needs playing time to develop into starters minutes at center, whereas JJ can back up Lamarcus, which by the way JJ got in foul trouble so that was why Meyers got extra minutes. And of course Dame is a rookie and is still learning how to play against what the opponents D throws at him; and last but not least, the starting five is still developing trust and communications and DEVELOPING Synergy, and it would be unfair not to try to win every game just for no other reason then to show respect from the coach for playing so hard.In short, IMO, we are trying to win and develop at the same time as we did the whole year and are doing a fantastic job. Question did you think the Blazers would be just 3.5 games out of the play-offs (lakers own tie breaker) this late in the season? I sure didn't.Peace
Hg;My short answer is no. I did not expect the Blazers to be in the position they are in. People that get paid to make predictions on sports teams had it wrong as well. The Blazers have had some things go right for them this year. First of all Damian. A pick at 6 that turned up roses. A hard working coaching staff. No major injuries (blazer fans deserve that).No matter how it turns out. This year has been a success. I am so looking forward to the years ahead.
An amazing victory; fun to watch.I am glad that it was Wes' night. He is the team leader. I love watching him stir the pot when that is what is needed. On the other hand, why does Stotts leave Nic in the game so long when he is not contributing. You said it Mike. Batum couldn't hit anything so he stopped trying. That's Nic. Give someone else a chance. Please!
Players have been playing like they are the true championship contenders to me. They fought back into the game after being down double digits, came back when the opponent thought they had us hammered. After the loss to Memphis at home, my faith started to fade away(even though I never stopped believing in them!?). But they proved that I was wrong. We can sure get back the race with a win over the top three teams in the entire league, OKC, on their homecourt. I have to admit that there's a small possibility for us to do both( beating OKC and make the postseason), but I cannot ask for more from our hard-fought army. YOU MAKE ME PROUD.ONCE AGAIN WE CAN SAY, PROUD AND LOUD, IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A BLAZER.
@Allie-oop. While Nic is not shooting or making shots, he is doing many other things that help the team win. One thing, he is unselfish, if someone else has a hot hand, in this case Wesley, he will work his butt off setting the table for Matthews, he is getting assist after assist taking heat off Aldridge and Dame, just his reputation alone as being an outside shooter attract attention, I know this because I watch the games on NBA pass and often listen to the opposing announcers.The second thing is we have many great shooters on our team, but only one basketball, he is in the position to demand the ball, but usually concedes that to LaMarcus, Dame, JJ and now Meyers. That is team play. The third thing is his defensive play, him and Matthews are the heart and soul of our Defense along with LaMarcus. When one of the three is out our team D suffers.So your belief is that if somebody is being guarded by a good defender and can't get opened for good shots, bench him and put in a less experienced player. or if a Player misses a few shots and starts doing other things then shooting, then bench him. Aldridge and Dame had a very cold first half also, do we bench Nic, LaMarcus, JJ and Dame as all of them was struggling in the first half?I am not trying to pick on you, I am just saying there are other things going on in the game other then shooting, besides I am not sure who you would put in that could do better then Batum even when his shot is not going in.peace
@Kingpdx: I like. It surely doesn't hurt to believe. When our last shot failed to go in for a win;When we were confused and bombarded like being attacked by a flying swarm of bees and got behindIt was still a GREAT DAY TO BE A BLAZER.
@ Allie-oop, I'm not trying to pick on u either; Hg is correct in everything he said to u. If u have the NBA League Pass, I encourage u to watch Nico's play from last night's game (a lot of other 1's too ;) There's a lot going on in games so it's easy to miss much of the subtleties (I try to pay as close attention as possible BUT there's plenty that I KNOW I've missed. Hahaha!). Some of these things that go unnoticed r what make the great things that u can't help but c happen :) I'm not being/getting defensive w/ u Allie-oop but as my general policy, just 2 put this out there, I usually get pretty defensive if any1 picks on Nico ;)
Matthews is not our best player. He is not the fastest. He is not the most athletic. He may have the largest heart.
to any of you who want to discount what Nicolas is doing other than scoring (seriously, look at something other than points), this is the biggest stat: this season, which is not complete, Nicolas has 329 assists this season. in his first four seasons, he had 325 combined. i think a lot of people expected that when Nicolas signed the contract, he would only earn it if he averaged a bunch of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Nicolas shows up every night, though people don't see it on the stat sheet every night. in my view, one of the areas where we've seen a huge improvement in Nicolas is in the team aspect. we all know he's the best defender we have, but he's working on offense extremely well as a teammate. those assist numbers prove it. the other thing i would mention is that with Damian and JJ, we have two other options we did not have before. shots are not always going to be available for Nicolas, but he's doing the most he can when they come his way.~ KMM
Wes and all the starters seem motivated the last two games. Wes especially seems like a man on a mission to get to the post season. Need to win 9 or 10 of the remaining 13 games to have a shot though. Nic is maybe the least selfish player I've ever seen in a Blazer uniform. He's not about the numbers. Sort of a Shane Battier type guy. Great defender and given that he's played hurt since the allstar break, I think his efforts are commendable. Our starters are capable of doing serious damage in the playoffs and if we got the Spurs in the 1st round, I like our chances to finally get to the 2nd round. Especially now that the bench is contributing. Last two games have given me a spark of hope that I'd lost after the Bucks loss. Go Blazers! My only Nic criticism is the occassional lazy pass which is an area I thought he needed to improve in last season as well. JJ played the best defense I've seen him play against Atlanta which is a great thing.
