The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) Program is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the state of Indiana. An 11-month program for liberal arts and sciences graduates who want to become licensed teachers, this full-time program begins each year in early June and leads to teacher licensure the following May. After licensure and while teaching in a school, students take one more course designed to help support them in the first full year of teaching.
After successfully concluding that final course, students are awarded the master's degree. Earlham's M.A.T. offers licensure in social studies, English/language arts, mathematics, science and modern foreign languages, all at the middle and high school levels.
At Earlham, few activities are more esteemed and joyful than teaching — and creating teachers. The College's long-standing commitment to excellence in teaching encourages and develops students' passion and potential as teachers. Earlham's M.A.T. Program is unique in focusing on the cohort model and developing a culture of collegiality. The cohort is an entering class of students who work together throughout the program.
The College intends to do more than provide licensure for teachers. The program's purpose is to develop teachers who are leaders in their school communities, who model outstanding classroom practices, and who prepare their own students to be socially active and morally conscious citizens in this new century.
The Earlham M.A.T. Program also emphasizes the teacher as researcher, one who is able to locate the most recent social science and educational research on teaching and learning. Students become competent users of the Socratic seminar method of instruction as a means of helping their own students develop critical thinking and communication skills.
The cost of the M.A.T. Program is $25,000. This includes tuition, all fees and textbooks for the first three semesters, plus the final class taken during the first semester as a teacher. In addition, candidates offered admission to the program are expected to provide a $200 enrollment deposit.
The Stafford Loan Program provides considerable funding for graduate students — up to $33,120. For more information, candidates are encouraged to contact the GPE Admissions Office or the Earlham College Financial Aid Office to discuss participation in the Stafford Loan Program. We also encourage candidates to search for scholarships and grants in their local communities or for foundations and organizations that offer scholarship opportunities to graduate students.
The Earlham College Graduate Programs in Education Department makes recommendations for licensure to the state of Indiana only upon a candidate's:
successful completion of the course work with a 3.0 G.P.A.
successful completion of supervised teaching with a rating of Proficient or Distinguished
faculty satisfaction that Indiana Developmental Standards for Educators have been met at a level of Proficient or Distinguished and with sufficient documentation
achieving the minimum score required by the state of Indiana on the Praxis II exam in the candidate's area of specialization
successful completion of the summative portfolio with a rating of Proficient or Distinguished.
M.A.T. degree candidates complete 43 semester credits of course work as a cohort. The courses are sequentially ordered over 11 months, with the final course being taken during the first semester of full-time teaching.
Candidates for the M.A.T. degree at Earlham College must meet the standards for P-12 teacher licensure of the state of Indiana and by the U.S. Department of Education. These standards are available in the Graduate Programs in Education Office or online at this location:

Every veteran has a story to tell.
Billy Waugh was a CIA operative that located Osama Bin Laden in 1996, but he was denied permission to "take him out."
Wough was just one of many honored veterans that shared their story during The Constitutional Freedom Rally II on March 17 in Fort Walton Beach. Other attendees included two Medal of Honor recipients, storied Special Forces veterans, a Gold Star mother, retired and an active duty SEALS, WTC survivors and Gov. Rick Scott among others on March 17 at the Emerald Coast Convention Center in Fort Walton Beach.

Libertarians are defending your second amendment right to keep and bear arms. Here are some recent examples where libertarians have done so:
Heller vs District of Columbia United State Supreme Court case.
Dick Heller, the plaintiff in the recent U.S. Supreme Court case which found that the second amendment was an individual right is a libertarian and petitioned to get on the ballot as the Libertarian candidate for the D.C. representative to Congress.
Libertarian Presidential Nominee Bob Barr
The Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee Bob Bar has served as a member of the NRA board and has an A+ rating. John McCain only has a C rating and Barack Obama has an F.
Bob Barr is the attorney representing a Georgia gun shop in a libel suit against New York City and their gun grabbing Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Missouri Libertarians
Here in Missouri, libertarian Doug Burlison was elected to the Springfield City Council in 2007, he was the one who found and then raised the alarm about the Springfield state legislative priority to allow local government to ban conceal carry in city parks.
Doug Burlison, Greene County Libertarians and Missouri Carry are working together to strip that provision from Springfield's list of priorities for the state legislature.
Libertarians have been working hard to defend your second amendment rights.
Please reward our hard work by voting for one or more Libertarians on the ballot Tuesday November 4th.

6 Strange Sports to Boost Your Fitness
Gold Medal Fitness

You'll see plenty of Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Carmelo Anthony, and Jordyn Wieber on the coverage of the London Games, but there are thousands of athletes participating in medal sports you won't see in prime time. And while you probably already know if you can shoot a basketball (maybe) or swing the uneven bars (maybe not), these lesser-celebrated sports—from fencing to table tennis to trampoline—may be the competitive passion you never knew you were looking for. Unleash your competitive juices, increase your focus, or just get a shirt-soaking new workout by trying one of these six sports.

A little bit of local knowledge goes a long way - and with this in mind, we at IrishCentral have prepared a brief guide to vacationing in Ireland.
Although remember - if you really want to fit in with the locals, you might want to avoid expressions like "vacationing" - use "going on holiday" instead.
You might also want to include the expression, "Where are yar' lucky charms?" in as many conversations as possible - the Irish will surely love you for that. (Note the sarcasm here...)
Don't go onto the roundabout (traffic circle) the wrong way round. The rule is you enter to your left, and give way to traffic from your right. And it's petrol, not gas.
Not going to Northern Ireland
There's really no excuse not to go to Northern Ireland. Even if you only have a few days, it's still worth a visit, and Belfast is only a little over two hours away from Dublin by train. Derry (also called Londonderry) is worth checking out – especially at Halloween, when the entire city dresses up in costume.
Visiting Dublin – and only drinking in Temple Bar
Temple Bar is Dublin's cultural center just south of the River Liffey. It has plenty of museums, stores, bars and restaurants. But all this is best left for the day time – at night, it becomes considerably less attractive. If you are looking for a good night out, try any number of the bars along Camden Street. George's Street and Wexford Street.
Not going to a hurling or Gaelic football match
Hurling is sometimes described as a cross between lacrosse and hockey, but that doesn't really do the sport any justice because it is unlike any other sport in the world. It's well worth going to see a game – and the same goes for Gaelic football, which looks like a cross between soccer and rugby. The best time to see these games is during the summer when the season's just getting going. It gets increasingly difficult to get tickets towards the end of the season. Dublin's Croke Park, the main GAA stadium is Ireland, includes a museum that explains the evolution of Ireland's native sports.
Forgetting to claim your tax back
Taxes are generally already added into the cost of most goods and services in Ireland. As a tourist, you are eligible to reclaim this tax back at the airport – just remember to keep your receipts.
Deciding you don't need a map or a GPS locator
Ireland is notoriously difficult to navigate with signposts often impossible to find. Map vital, GPS essential
Being afraid to ask for directions
Get used to it guys. In Ireland you will need to drop the shyness and the macho outlook and ask
Using a fake irish accent
Irish people hate it when Yanks or anyone for that matter try it on. Not recommended .
Expecting only warm weather
Big mistake, no matter what the forecast says, rain can happen at the drop of a, well raindrop.very unpredictable and sometimes annoying.
Originally publised in 2010.
I'm on my way back to the "ODE Sod" if i can say that. I'm second generation I have done it five different ways. Three on a CIE tour. 1 Driving (BAD IDEA) and then trains and buses (was ok except most times from Northern Ireland to the west back to Dublin to change buses and then a bus that is a local one which was interesting Then last but not lest a bus from a Bus company. From Galway to Dublin. Next week it is back with a CIE Tour and being a Travel agent i looked at my package and found that one of the companies included "THE HOP ON AND OFF BUS" will pick me up and drop me off at the airport. Saved about 40 USD to the airport. That made me very happy
You can go to Northern Ireland without ever entering Derry or Belfast. The Glens of Antrim, Giants Causeway and Bushmills, Armagh City, Crossmaglen, offer plenty without taking on the cities.
Spot the American tourist, Love it.
These warnings are a load of tosh! My cousin owns a shop on Killarney High Street and another cousin owns a large hotel just outside Killarney. As far as they're concerned, you can break every rule in the book. Nobody ever won an argument with a customer! Itis the people who rely on tourism for aaliving to forgive any nationality desirinng toexplore their link toIreland; however tenuous. Trying out an Irish accent is not patronising; anything but! If they are contributing to Ireland's economy, they can dance naked around the 'Ring of Kerry' for all I care; just don't expect anybody to be shoocked! Tog go bog e!
The Irish love foreign accents- including American. So don't try patronize them by attempting 'oirish'! Oh and don't ask for 'corned beef and cabbage'-there's no such dish in Ireland!
Remember, it's not a fanny pack over there.
"Where are yar' lucky charms?". I wouldn't bother saying that, unless you want to labelled as a complete eejit.
A good list to which I add: 11. Stay in family run B&Bs, not anouymous hotels. Bonus, Each B&B will be happy to help you get a similar room in the next town on your trip. 12. Eat at least some meals in pubs. Bonus, Be open to conversations with those nearby. If you have the courage, start the conversations. 13. Make it a point to ask directions when traveling in the country or though small towns. Do this even if you are not lost---for the sake of the interaction. Bonus, ask in pubs where there are several people. You will get five cheerful and witty, but possibly unreliable, answers from the three who respond. 14. In rainy times ignore the rain or you will never get anything done if it involves being outside. A little damp is nothing.
Great piece for sure. Visiting Northern Ireland has always been the high point for travels to Ireland. One small deviation from the recommendations, the Irish accent thing. I come from all four sides being Irish. My favorite of these would be Kerry and then Cork. I was raised in Rockaway where the Brooklyn accent is still prevalent. It never bother me when people would visit and try to talk with the ridiculous way most of my friends and neighbors speak (I do turn it off during business meetings.) I think when people try to speak with an Irish accent it's endearing. And also, I wouldn't make it a big deal since some in various counties can't make out what others in the same country of Eire are saying....In short, get over it and make it a positive! Mack

Ladies, let's be honest. Not many women would dub their bikinis their best friends. In fact, it is all too often that we find the two-piece intimidating, even downright uncomfortable. With such a revealing style of fashion separating us from the rest of the world, this reality is understandable. Although it is completely normal to feel a little bashful when stripping down to your swim-time skivvies, and putting your body on display to the world, there is no good reason to let shyness overwhelm you from trying this outgoing fashion piece. And just because summer is almost over doesn't mean you will be putting your swimsuit away any time soon. (Hello, hot tubs and spas!)
Here are a few tips for finding the right bikini for you!
It's all about color. Most of us know which shades flatter our figures most based on the way we feel when we try certain clothes on and from the compliments we receive from other people. While it can be tempting to throw caution to the wind and go for wild patterns and glitzy designs, these are usually best left to the teenagers. Solid colors have a more sophisticated appearance, and they flatter the figure without drawing too much attention. Neutrals like navy, white, grey, black, and brown are universally flattering to a variety of skin tones, and they never go out of style.
Be mindful of the cut. Trying to fit into a smaller size might feel like an accomplishment with some effort, but it's really not when everyone can tell. Your size is your size; wear it with confidence. The most flattering way to wear a bikini and look great is to choose the appropriate fit. Bikinis come in accommodating cuts for most body types. If you happen to choose items based on comfort, it is also important to be mindful of not buying a two-piece that is too big. Guess who looks great in a saggy, bunched-up, bikini bottom. No one. Don't be afraid to customize the style of your bottoms for a fit that makes you feel comfortable.
Wear it with confidence. When heading to the store to pick out a style, take a close friend who can help guide you in the right direction. It's always beneficial to have another set of eyes to check things out and suggest other items you might not choose for yourself. Keep in mind that the mirrors and lighting in fitting rooms can be unreliable, and it's possible that you may look much better in person than they make it appear. With a few more weeks of summer underway, now is a great time to get out there and try a bold new look. The bikini doesn't have to be your best friend, but it can be a most pleasant acquaintance.
Go ahead, take the plunge!

October 2013
Neil Gillis (B.S. '84)
Neil Gillis Q & A:
What was your favorite class, who was your favorite professor, or what is your fondest memory of Hofstra?
I was a commuter. So, my fondest memory was surely not driving back and forth! I loved all of what I did in the Music Department. They had a great teaching team and their adjunct faculty were some of the best players in the world – many played in the NY Philharmonic and the like.
What was your first job after graduating from Hofstra, and what was the most valuable thing you learned there?
I worked for BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) as an administrator in their International Department. What I learned there was that music publishing was truly a powerhouse part of the creative business and that was a worldwide industry that I could make a career path in.
What is your field of specialty, and how did you come to work in the industry?
Music publishing is my field of specialty. It started when I would read credits on albums and wonder who all the companies were that owned the songs and then morphed into an internship at a big publishing house while at Hofstra. There is no direct career path to music publishing but it is one of the best businesses to marry passions of music and business, and I've been doing it for 30 years now.
What advice would you give current Hofstra students?
Be respectful and gracious. Be receptive to criticism. Most important, be a sponge. You never stop learning. In my 30 years of doing this, I never know when something I learned along the way may help out in a business or creative situation. Also, learn to say "yes, I can," and be fearless about doing it. You'd be amazed at how many amazing career moves I've made by simply saying yes to a situation I knew I could handle, but if I wasn't strong enough to believe it, I may have passed on the opportunity.
In one word, how would you describe Hofstra?
How has your degree from Hofstra helped you?
It helped define my career path.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Listening to a record and knowing you signed that writer. Watching a movie or television show or ad and knowing you helped pick that song that is airing. Signing a writer on the merits of their music and helping to nurture them to the time when their career blossoms, it's magic.
Who in your field do you most admire?
The list is too long but if I had to name two people, it would be the team of Gamble & Huff. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff were artists, songwriters, producers, label owners, etc. The list is too long, as well their lists of accomplishments, but know that they were the team responsible for The Sound of Philadelphia and all of the artists and songs that came from that legendary era of sound.

Why not? He has very little minor league experience compared to say Salty - although Lavarnway has shown defensive skills above Salty in some ways. He's got 5 years of control left. They need to let him play. I see his as a potential starter by no later than '15, not a potential back-up.

Last reviewed and revised February 27, 2013
Okay, so maybe you've heard this one before: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I wouldn't have considered this a myth because everyone knows it's not true, right? Well, not so fast. A number of recent studies have actually put this adage to the test, at least indirectly. Consider the following studies published over the last few years:
Is It Time To Get on the Apple Bandwagon? Considering the findings of these studies, is it time to make apples a bigger part of your diet? Sure, if you like apples. But I don't think we have enough hard evidence to completely buy into the "apple cure" just yet. Some of this research is based on animals, which we know does not always apply directly to humans. And it's notoriously difficult to perform studies of dietary intake and link them to specific health outcomes when there are so many variables to consider. For example, when compared with people who don't like apples, maybe apple-eaters have other healthy behaviors, such as exercise, that lower their risk of heart or lung disease. Apples may be even better for you than previously appreciated. They are a healthy food choice, especially if eaten in place of less nutritious snacks. But even if apples can't keep the doctor away, eating more apples are unlikely to cause you harm. Regardless of how you feel about apples, this is a good example of how some "myths" are just waiting to be transformed into fact. Good research and an open mind is all that lies between the apple-a-day myth and "the next big thing" in healthy diets. Robert H.

I started off this cycle with Dianabol (10-20mg/day) and Testosterone Cypionate (400mg/week). I started getting prostate issues after a week so I switched to Epistane. I continued the Epistane through three weeks until I started getting all-day-long headaches.
I started getting gyno, so I introduced 2.5mg of Letrozole daily. Would you say I could only be making dry gains about now? I've been on the Letrozole about 2 weeks now.. My gyno is about gone and I plan on lowering the dose of Letrozole until I can just leave it at .5mg per day..
Anyway. I'm guessing I can't be holding my water about now. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance...

Syrians to hold 'We won't kneel except to God' Friday rally [Future TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Female #1
According to Syrian activists, the number of victims who have been killed in military operations across various cities and towns since the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan has reached 271, an average of one death per hour. Meanwhile, Syrian tanks resumed shelling across various residential neighborhoods, especially Bab Amer in Homs. In addition, Syrian security forces re-stormed the cities of Hama and Saraqeb. Syrian activists reported that 44 people, including 18 in Homs, have been killed over the past few hours. The Syrian opposition continues to rally its supporters, urging them to take part in protest rallies tomorrow under the slogan, "We won't kneel, except to God."

We can't evacuate the fallen martyrs from the area of Baba Amer!
Reporter, Male #2
It was expected that the level of violence against the civilians demanding freedom may level off in light of the recent messages from Turkey and the international community to the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad. However, the situation on the ground remains bloody, if not bloodier than before. Eighteen people have been killed since yesterday in random and heavy artillery shelling that targeted the Bab Amer neighborhood in Homs. The neighborhood was also heavily shelled today. The Syrian Revolution Coordination Union said that ambulances were deployed with shabeha militias onboard. The shabeha opened fire at the residents, turning the neighborhood into a war zone. Meanwhile, Syrian army and security forces have stormed the town of Qusair near the Lebanese border, killing 11 people. The army also carried out massive sweeps, targeting dozens of civilians. Witnesses reported that regime forces opened fire at a bus packed with civilians near the Qantra Bridge, killing or injuring all onboard. The Syrian Revolution Coordination Union said that the Syrian army has shelled the Noor Hospital in the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor. The army detained the head of the hospital and three physicians. Syrian troops also surrounded the Hamadiya, Ammal, and old Matar neighborhoods, amid heavy gunfire. The offensive comes a day after the targeting of mosques in the city, including the minaret of Uthman Bin Affan Mosque as well as the Khalid Bin Walid, the Tawba, and the Arfeen Mosques. Meanwhile, protests continued across Syria demanding the downfall of the regime. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that tanks and armored vehicles have stormed the city of Saraqeb in the northwest province of Idlib. In another development, Syrian tanks were redeployed in the city Hama, hours after their withdrawal from the city. This news comes after Syrian authorities organized a tour of the city for reporters and the Turkish ambassador. Syrian activists said that the tanks were redeployed to the streets of Hama as soon as the tour ended. In light of the unfolding developments on the ground, the Syrian opposition continues to rally its supporters, urging them to take part in protest rallies on Friday under the slogan, "We won't kneel, except to God."
Libyan rebels at the gates of oil hub Brega [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female #1
Violent clashes took place between the revolutionaries and Gaddafi's forces in the strategic oil town of Brega in eastern Libya. The town is one of the three major battlefronts of the Libyan conflict. The other two fronts are Misurata and Jabal Nafusa, in the western part of the country. Brega contains oil facilities including refineries and a port for oil transportation, in addition to residential areas.
Reporter, Male #1
Once again, the battlefront of Brega has come into the spotlight. The revolutionary forces assert that they are on the verge of taking control of the coastal oil town, while Libyan Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's forces are still trying to defend it. Opposition fighters infiltrated Brega for a brief time. They hope to enter the town soon after NATO warplanes launch air strikes on the strongholds of Gaddafi's loyalist forces. This region, which is strategic for both sides, witnessed fierce seesaw battles in the last several days. Neither side has achieved any gains. As the scene of fighting repeats itself, the battlefront is witnessing an exchange of artillery shelling, rockets, and mortar shells. Columns of smoke can be seen rising from the front. Revolutionaries described the military movements as very limited, which they attribute to the fact that most revolutionaries are fasting in extremely cruel weather conditions.
Guest, Male #2 (Commander, Revolutionary Forces)
Well, the conditions are very harsh. Many are trying to fast, but we try to persuade a majority of them that the fighting is too fierce and the heat is too harsh because this is a semi-desert region. Even though the supplies are available and continuously delivered to them, the natural conditions are too unforgiving.
Reporter, Male #1
The revolutionaries say another reason for the slow progress on the battlefront is that Gaddafi's forces are using abandoned tunnels, which they have turned into a very broad underground network, to hide their tanks and military vehicles. They added that Gaddafi's forces drive the tanks out of these tunnels for a short period to shell the revolutionaries' strongholds then drive back into the tunnels to avoid being shelled by NATO air strikes. Reports from the battlefield also say that Gaddafi's forces set up extremely strong defensive lines in Brega to prevent revolutionaries from advancing. They planted hundreds of anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines along these lines and dug many trenches and filled them with inflammable materials. Politically, the European Union took new measures to impose sanctions on the Libyan regime. The EU announced increases to its sanctions due to the severity of the situation in Libya. In between the battleground and the political field, the fate of this African country remains uncertain with numerous possibilities.
Somalis flee to Ethiopia to escape recruitment of child soldiers [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female #1
An official at the UN High Commission for Refugee Affairs told the BBC that a number of Somali families are fleeing to Ethiopia in fear that their children may be recruited by the Islamic Shabaab Movement. The refugee camps in Ethiopia are still receiving displaced Somalis escaping the famine and violence in Somalia. However, the number of refugees plummeted recently since most of the entrances to Ethiopia were shut down by Shabaab fighters.
Reporter, Male #1
This is Dolo Ado Refugee Camp in Ethiopia. There is nothing here that makes it a desired destination for refugees. However, not a day goes by without a new group of Somalis flocking here to escape the famine and violence. They wait in long lines hoping to receive food and care. This clinic is run by the charity organization, Doctors Without Borders. They have strong determination but the humble conditions only allow them to give medical attention to extremely severe cases, such as the children who have reached an advanced stage of emaciation due to malnutrition, if not complete lack of nutrition.
In addition to these miseries, the refugees have to walk for days in the barren desert to reach the camp. Many of them are pregnant women.
Guest, Male #2
I deliver at least one child every day. And we examine six or seven pregnant women daily as well.
Reporter, Male #1
However, the UN High Commission for Refugee Affairs believes that the natural environment is not the only factor responsible for the current humanitarian disaster. A number of mothers left their villages and came to Ethiopia to protect their children from being forcibly recruited by the Islamic Shebaab Movement to become fighters.
Guest, Female #2 (Allison Oman, UNHCR Spokesperson)
The fear was that if they didn't have animals and grains to redeem themselves with, Shabaab would take their children and recruit them. So after their last animals died, the family got up and left.
Reporter, Male #1
Politically, a UN representative warned that Somalia may fall into the hands of rival armed groups, which may take advantage of the vacuum left by the sudden withdrawal of the Islamic Shabaab Movement fighters from the capital.
Guest, Male #3 (Augustine Mahiga, UN Secretary-General Special Representative to Somalia)
Pockets of Al-Shabaab remain in Mogadishu and the security situation is critical. The rebels may resort to terrorist attacks and a gangster war against the interim government forces, and perhaps also against civilians and refugees.
Reporter, Male #1
Shabaab's militias still control one third of Somalia and most of its south, which is suffering from the famine.
Yemen's Saleh clings to power as protestors denounce US-Saudi interference [Press TV, Iran]
The cabinet of Yemen's embattled rule Ali Abudllah Saleh has met with Saudi officials to discuss how to keep him in power. At the same time, protestors in Yemen took to the streets to call for the prosecution of the regime and to reject Saudi and US intervention in their country's affairs. In defiance of foreign intervention and the iron fist of the regime, Yemeni protestors rallied massively nationwide today to call for the prosecution of the remaining remnants of the regime and show their determination for the revolution. Protestors chanted slogans denouncing US and Saudi intervention, which they hold guilty of trying to hijack their seven-month ongoing revolution and praised their countrymen for their patients and steadfast support to their seven month struggle to put an end to Saleh's regime.
Lebanon blast leaves two people dead [Press TV, Iran]
At least two people have been killed in a bomb explosion in a Christian suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut. Police say the handmade bomb went off near the St. Elias Church. One person has also been injured in the blast. Initial reports say a judge was the apparent target of the attack. The blast, however, failed to kill him.
Report indicates Israel expropriating 90 per cent of Palestinian water [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male # 1
A report submitted by Palestine's permanent observer to the United Nations accuses Israel of exploiting nearly 90 percent of the water sources available on Palestinian land.
Presenter, Female # 1
The report indicates that Israel exploits large quantities of the water for its settlements and the construction of the separation wall. The report adds that an Israeli individual uses at least four times more water than a Palestinian.
Presenter, Male # 1
Our al-Jazeera correspondent Sherine Abu Akhle has the details from the West Bank's region of al-Aghwar.
Reporter, Female # 2
Up until a few years ago, Abdallah Bitan's land in the village of al-Jiftlik in al-Aghwar was agricultural land that fed him and his family. However, today, it has turned into wasteland. Water scarcity led to a scarcity of the land's output and Abdallah went from being a farmer to a worker at the Israeli settlement of Miswat.
Guest, Male # 2
On this strip of land, we had planted zucchini. That one: beans and that plot there still has the hoses. You see them? We had planted cucumbers. None of us are planning to grow anything on this land really. It's over, there's no water to plant. We don't even have drinking water today. We don't have drinking water!
Reporter, Female # 2
Palestinians living in the Palestinian region of al-Aghwar are facing a great shortage of water, which they attribute to Israel's digging of wells along the Jordan Valley. Those wells provide water to over 30 settlements, which grow palms, grapes, and roses as Palestinian land dries up little by little. This scene repeats itself: wells serving settlers only, and a few meters away empty Palestinian water ducts.
Guest, Male # 3 (Fathi Khadirat, Campaign to Save al-Aghwar)
They took control of all ground water sources and the water level at the surface dropped. This caused Palestinian wells to be either polluted or have a high salinity level. Palestinians can hear water passing through the pipelines beneath them but can't drink that water.
Reporter, Female # 2
The report submitted by the Palestinian side to the United Nations says the 9,000 setters who live in al-Aghwar consume one third of the water allotted to Palestinians in the West Bank. Hebron is another example of the scarcity of water, where residents are forced to buy water or rely on rain water. In the village of el-Tweneh, south of Hebron, Israel refuses to grant the residents the permission to build a water network.
Guest, Female # 3
We get water once every two weeks and sometimes the Israelis shut down the water supply. We put the water in these containers and they might or might not last one month. Also the price of water is too high if we want to buy it from other areas.
Reporter, Female # 2
The Palestinians say Israel is currently exploiting 90 percent of the Palestinian land's water sources and controls the remaining ten percent. These are the water channels of the village of Ujah. Once considered a main source for water in al-Aghwar, today it no longer has a drop of water. In short, to block water is to block life and this is what Israel wants. It wants the land, what lies underneath it and on the surface. There is only side that Israel ignores and is bothered by, and that is the Palestinian human being. Sherine Abu Akhle, al-Jazeera, from al-Auja in the Palestinian al-Aghwar.
Activists unhappy with new Lands Administration housing plan [IBA, Israel]
According to a new plan approved by the Israel Lands Administration, contractors will be charged less money to build cheaper housing for certain sectors of the public. The reform could go a long way towards solving the acute housing shortage but the plan is already under fire for being discriminatory. Protestors against soaring housing costs demonstrated outside the meeting of the Israel Lands Administration, demanding that the council change the criteria in determining who qualifies for affordable housing.
Interior minister approves construction of 1,600 new Jerusalem apartments [IBA, Israel]
In other housing news, housing solutions are on the way, at least in Jerusalem. The interior minister Eli Yishai today gave his final stamp of approval to construct 1,600 apartments with thousands more on the pipeline. The new apartments became a diplomatic issue last year, causing a rift between Israel and Washington when the project was first announced during a visit to Israel by then US Vice President Joe Biden.
President Peres meets with Trachtenberg Committee [IBA, Israel]
The social unrest in the nation may be bearing fruit, as the Trachtenberg Committee dealing with social concerns presses on with its work. But that hasn't stopped the protestors, who continue their tent camps and demonstrations. Professor Manuel Trachtenberg, the head of this so-called Trachtenberg Committee, and other members of his team met this morning with President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem. Trachtenberg briefed the president on the committee's work plan and progress so far. He also said he understands that the protest leaders are skeptical about the commission but stressed that its members are eager to listen and affect change.
Turkey's evolving relations with Syria [ANB, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
Joining us this evening in Sijalat to discuss the events in Syria is Mr. Ammar Waqqaf, member of the British Syrian Society. The Turkish position on the events in Syria altered its relationship from a friendly ally to a cautious neighbor and is heading toward becoming an adversary. Does this not make Syria fear that the whole world is turning against it? Are those who are pro-President Bashar al-Assad worried?
Guest, Male #2 (Ammar Waqqaf, British Syrian Society member)
Of course, and not just Bashar al-Assad's supporters are worried. Despite the fact that international positions on Syria are political, the problem is their economic repercussions, which will have an impact on Syria's internal affairs in one way or another. After the events of the 1970s and 1980s regarding the Muslim Brotherhood, the Syrian economy nearly collapsed and the exchange rate with the US dollar rose ten-fold. We hope we will not reach this situation. It's important to note that there are priorities; existential priorities precede economic concerns. Mr. Ban Ki-moon's statement... regional players and international players have different perspectives. Let's start with Turkey. At the beginning of the Arab Spring revolutions, Turkey had upcoming elections. At the beginning of the Arab Spring revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, Mr. Erdogan would say in parliament: "I swear if they listened to us, if they did what we did, perhaps they might have been able to avoid this." This kind of talk was somewhat part of an electoral campaign. He wanted to tell Turkish voters: "Look, I am offering you the best political system currently in the region." But later, after Turkey's general elections were held, Syria responded on par with Turkey's position. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem politely told the Kurds: "There are about 800 kilometers between us; you have an influence on us, and so do we." Certainly there was an insinuation to the Turkish role on the events in Jisr Shughour. Some people say Turkey turned a blind eye to the arming of individuals in Syria while others add that these individuals were also being trained. Of course, once again Foreign Minister al-Muallem said he received information that the military camps had been built one week earlier.
Presenter, Male #1
Mr. Ammar, maybe you are entitled to say the Syrian regime is treated unjustly by the media. But at the same time, as a Syrian citizen, you have the right to demand that international and Arab media organizations freely enter the country, and not just use online sources. They will be able to directly document everything that is happening.
Guest, Male #2
I completely agree with you on this point but I understand the Syrian government's way of thinking when it comes to foreign media. The Syrian crisis has two facets when it comes to the media. When a news channel like al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya, and other Arab channels, there's the issue of public incitement, sending the message of "we should revolt, we need freedom," and so on. The other aspect is the broadcast of half-truths and this is the problem of the international media.

How We Do Aarti - Vrindavan - 5 Videos
Aarti is practiced every day, morning and evening, at all the temples in Maharajji's ashrams.
This is the Aarti practice done at the Mahasamdhi Temple of India's great saint Neeb Karoli Baba / Neem Karoli Baba Maharajji in Vrindavan, India on the morning of Hanuman Jayanti in 1999.
Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. In the traditional aarti ceremony, the flower represents the earth (solidity), the water and accompanying handkerchief correspond with the water element (liquidity), the lamp or candle represents the fire component (heat), the peacock fan conveys the precious quality of air (movement), and the yak-tail fan represents the subtle form of ether (space). The incense represents a purified state of mind, and one's "intelligence" is offered through the adherence to rules of timing and order of offerings. Thus, one's entire existence and all facets of material creation are symbolically offered to the Lord via the aarti ceremony. (Wikipedia)
Aarti is offered to Maharajji with the Utmost Love and Gratitude.

- Super Weekend Fan of the Day
July 26, 2012 | By Zach Hudson
Super Weekend Fan of the Day
Opening day has arrived at IMS for the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard and fans were everywhere watching practice, waiting to see their favorite drivers, and buy a souvenir or two. Walking near the Social Media Garage I came across two Brickyard 400 fans Tena Clark and Nik Muller who were more than happy to share their experiences at IMS and the Crown Royal Presents the "Curtiss Shaver 400" at the Brickyard with me. Tena and Nik are big NASCAR fans and have been to many tracks and races like Bristol, Daytona, and Homestead. Nik has been to the 400 about 14 times he said, with this being Tena's first time at IMS. Nik loves the open atmosphere that IMS offers with the driver interactions and access that he gets it is unlike other tracks. Tena enjoys being able to walk in the infield and see all the IMS attractions inside the track. Unfortunately they will not be able to attend the races this weekend but they will definitely be watching I am sure. Both of them were fans of past Brickyard winner Ricky Rudd and were ecstatic when we won the 400 back in 1997. Both of them are rooting for Greg Biffle in Sunday's race and would be very happy race fans if he wins the race. Nik is a huge fan of the hauler parade and enjoys the cookouts prior to watching the race.

As Coasts Flood, Inland Areas See Blizzards
Sandy has created havoc up and down the East Coast, but it's now causing blizzards inland as well. Steve Inskeep speaks with NPR's Jon Hamilton to explain that and the science behind the storm; and to NPR's Dan Charles in West Virginia, where snow has blanketed part of the state.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
As Hurricane Sandy, or whether - at this point in time, it's Superstorm Sandy, when it did thunder ashore as a hurricane, Tamara Brownstein(ph) was assessing the damage. She was working for the Red Cross in Sea Bright, New Jersey.
TAMARA BROWNSTEIN: And we saw a transformer blow, which just kind of lit up the sky. And then everything went black. And so from there, we just came straight back and we've kind of been hunkering down ever since, which is exactly what we've been telling people in the area to do, as well, because the number one priority is just safety.
INSKEEP: Now, in New York City overnight some people who stayed home had to be rescued. WABC reporter Jeff Pegues watched firefighters working in flooded areas of Queens.
JEFF PEGUES: Some of these members of the specialized unit had to climb walls of building, break through windows to reach these families in their apartments. And then they led them downstairs, out into the water.
MONTAGNE: Now, the storm is spreading inland, with effects on many states, including West Virginia, where NPR's Dan Charles is standing by.
And, Dan, good morning.
DAN CHARLES, BYLINE: Good morning.
MONTAGNE: What are you seeing there?
CHARLES: We have a blizzard warning, here. I'm in southern West Virginia in the town of Beckley. It's kind of coalmining country down here. It's snowing. It's blowing, although not really hard at the moment. I had to help push a pickup truck out of snow this morning. There's a foot of snow on the ground already, and more to come.
MONTAGNE: And snow is not unusual there, I gather, but maybe a little more unusual in October. So are people prepared?
CHARLES: People were pretty fatalistic about it. I mean, they've dealt with storms like this, at least of this magnitude before, plenty of times. Yeah, the crazy thing is it's October, and there are high winds and there is the risk of flooding down the way.
You know, there's power out for tens of thousands of people in the state, some of that from the wind, some of that just from snow weighing down branches of trees. Shelters are open. Roads are treacherous. The interstate is still passable, although much of it is covered with snow south of Charleston. But people - I have to say, people are pretty much coping.
MONTAGNE: So, and then just quickly, first responders managing to get in there and start helping?
CHARLES: They seem to be. They seem to be. No major sort of problems, other than kind of routine winter storm emergency.
INSKEEP: OK. Dan, stay with us. We're going to bring in NPR's Jon Hamilton, who's with us here in the studio.
And, Jon, will you paint a picture for us? We've got this storm that's coming in off the Atlantic. What are the mechanics? How does it end up pulling a snowstorm down in West Virginia?
JON HAMILTON, BYLINE: OK. So it started out as a hurricane, which is a counterclockwise-rotating storm. And it is still rotating counterclockwise, except it keeps getting bigger. So if you imagine, say, a skater extending their arms outward and outward. Right now, those arms would be brushing Canada at the top and North Carolina at the south. And imagine their fingers pulling huge bunches of cold air and moisture down from Canada and depositing it in West Virginia in the form of snow.
INSKEEP: And so you have trouble then - potential trouble, anyway - all the way through the Midwest and down to West Virginia, even beyond?
HAMILTON: A huge area of the country, yes.
INSKEEP: And this is highly unusual for this early in the season, I would think.
HAMILTON: It's pretty unusual to see a storm that has rotation that big.
INSKEEP: I can't remember, actually, a storm that looks this large on the radar. I mean, that image that you give is just kind of amazing to look at when you see the radar image.
HAMILTON: I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.
INSKEEP: So, Dan Charles, coming back to you in West Virginia, you said the roads are treacherous there. So there's already some snow down at this point, is what you're saying.
CHARLES: Oh, lots. There's a foot of snow on the ground here in Beckley. Lots of things are closed, although I noticed Mountain State University, they're opening today, but two hours late. But they're telling people pretty much if you don't have to go out, don't go out on the roads today.
INSKEEP: Impressed that they're going to try to open at all. So, a foot of snow on the ground. And how much more are forecasters saying that you should expect there in Beckley, West Virginia?
CHARLES: It could be as much as another foot.
INSKEEP: OK. Well, we'll be following that. Dan, thanks very much.
CHARLES: Thank you.
INSKEEP: That's NPR's Dan Charles in Beckley, West Virginia. We're also listening to NPR's Jon Hamilton as we continue to track Hurricane Sandy, what we're now calling Superstorm Sandy.

Arizona State University Collaborates with Private Lending Arm of World Bank
TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tasked with determining how best to invest global money in developing countries, the International Finance Committee (IFC) turned to Arizona State University's (ASU) sustainability experts for advice, October 15-16 at ASU.
"Our scientists and faculty bring transdisciplinary expertise, applied research and solutions to global challenges, turning knowledge into action," said ASU President Michael Crow. "We are honored to contribute that level of experience and applied science to support the exceptional work of World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and to help the IFC."
More than 40 IFC Climate Business Group members from around the world gathered in Tempe for the two-day "short course" about implications of climate change, presented by various experts from ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability and School of Sustainability.
"Our sustainability scientists and faculty experts shared diverse perspectives on the impact of climate change in such areas as food and water security, energy systems, urbanization, and infrastructure; all areas IFC considers when assessing investment need and potential in developing countries," said Christopher Boone, dean of ASU's School of Sustainability. "IFC also shared case studies of their extraordinary work. This is the beginning of a strategic partnership between IFC and ASU with enormous potential for positive global impact."
A member of the World Bank, IFC is owned by 184 countries, which collectively govern IFC policy. A core mission of IFC is to invest, through the private sector, in projects that support developing countries to relieve poverty and improve quality of life. Approximately 20 percent of IFC's portfolio is earmarked for investments in climate change-related projects.
"Climate change is a strategic priority for IFC because it threatens development gains," remarked Alan Miller, principal climate change specialist for IFC's Climate Business Group. The group is engaged in three key areas of climate business: 1) clean energy and energy access; 2) resource efficiency; and 3) climate adaptation.
"The lower a country's gross domestic product (GDP), the more people need renewable energy resources to grow," said Gary Dirks, a senior sustainability scientist and director of ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability. "But whether considering giving loans to a small fishing community or a large city, understanding the system and the unintended consequences are critical to risk analysis."
