Question and answer details
|Are women denigrated through Islam or is it a misconception of the Occidental world? Thank you.
|Heba Raouf Ezzat
Salam dear Shura,
Thank you for your clear and direct question.
The first idea that came to my mind was that if women are oppressed in many countries and cultures and for an array of different reasons, how then can one assume that Islam is a reason of the denigration of women?
The second idea that came initially to my mind was that if Muslim women are under oppression for cultural reasons, how can one easily jump to a conclusion that it is about religion not about cultures and local contexts?
Now, let me turn to your question from an Islamic approach.
Islam is a message of an egalitarian nature socially and a transcendental conception of divinity theologically. The result is a moral and socio-political doctrine and a body of jurisprudence based on the Noble Quran that advocates women's equity and dignity, along with her social, economical and political participation.
The ideal image of a Muslim society is the society of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The life of the Prophet and the social organization of the city state of Madinah show clearly that women were liberated and empowered by Islam within a wider context of social reform.
This, in its turn, introduced notions of social justice and tolerance to that society. This led to achieving a social transformation that the Arabian Peninsula never witnessed before. It paved the way to the rise of the Muslim civilization later on.
Yet social revolutions always faced regressions and challenges over history as much as any civilization is prone to decline in all cultures. This definitely includes the history of Muslims. When people in new cultures embraced Islam, many local traditions survived. Thus it was easier to abuse the text rather than adhere by its vision.
I would like to refer you to many other replies provided previously by Ask About Islam that might extend my argument. And I also invite you to do some basic research on your own, and compare the original texts of the Quran and the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), along with the Sunnah (the deeds of the Prophet) and his seerah (biography) to the current situation or even historical stands of other leaders and figures.
You would soon discover the gaps and shortcomings that result from historical or traditional understanding rather than the frame of reference of Islam itself.
Thank you for your question and please do stay in touch.

American Power Group Corp. announced that Ervin Equipment, Inc. has expanded its product line to include glider kits with APG's Turbocharged Natural Gas Dual Fuel Upgrade System.
As a result, an initial order of $800,000 was placed through WheelTime Network member Clarke Power Services Inc. as the lead authorized dealer. The 2014 Freightliner Columbia and Coronado glider kits will be powered by a rebuilt Detroit Diesel Series 60 12.7L engine that has been upgraded with APG's Turbocharged Natural Gas System.
The term glider kit refers to a truck that has a new frame, cab, electrical system, and front axle but must utilize rebuilt systems for two of the three drivetrain components which are the engine, the transmission or the rear axle. In addition to tax benefits, a glider allows the truck owner to power the vehicle with an older EPA approved emissions class engine.
APG's EPA dual fuel tests show sustainability improvements that include an 80% reduction in CO and a 25% to 30% reduction in nitrous oxide and particulate matter emissions compared to the base year diesel engine.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

The Misuse of Remorse
When is a crime paid for?
Aug 10, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 44 • By CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL
Since late 2007, when Michael Vick, the former star quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, was incarcerated for running a dog-fighting club out of his Smithfield, Virginia, home, a lot of things have broken his way. Vick, now 29, was able to spend the last two months of his sentence under house arrest. Former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, a patient and generous man, has agreed to help mentor him. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has okayed a conditional return to playing pro football no later than the third weekend in October.
No less significant, the entire game of professional football has been revolutionized in Vick's absence to become more friendly to Michael Vick. He is a good passer, but he is the greatest running quarterback ever. And last year, in the third week of the season, the previously lackluster Miami Dolphins unveiled a new "wildcat" formation in a game in which they did not just beat but demolished the New England Patriots, 38-13, handing the Pats their first loss since 2006. (Other teams had been experimenting with it.) The wildcat allows the quarterback to play a variety of roles. He can carry the ball on set running plays (not just scrambles and quarterback draws). He can catch short passes. By the end of the season a lot of teams were using the wildcat. And as Greg Cote, an excellent writer for the Miami Herald, wrote this week: "The wildcat and Vick's skill set are the greatest combination since peanut butter and jelly."
The odd thing is that, by the middle of this week, no team had shown the slightest interest in signing Vick. The Dolphins actually ruled it out. So did the Washington Redskins, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Detroit Lions, the worst team in NFL history. Only the Baltimore Ravens admitted considering it. Why is this?
One can point to the heinousness of Vick's crime. Not only is dog-fighting hard on dogs, Vick was found to have participated in killing some of the wounded ones. Between his arrest and his sentencing two years ago, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated outside the Falcons' training camp and outside the NFL offices in New York. This is a practical problem for whichever team signs Vick. But it should not be a moral problem. Treating animals well is important. Treating one's fellow humans well is more important. Athletes who have killed a person or beaten girlfriends and strangers have been welcomed back to their leagues.
No one who knows Vick well considers him a monster. He has a lot of the marks of a genuinely decent person. There was an interesting profile of him in Sports Illustrated a couple of years ago that sought to explain how he got into so much trouble. Former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young, a pillar of black Atlanta society, who had met Vick during his stint with the Falcons, pointed to some danger signs. One was that Vick hadn't changed his group of friends. He had remained in touch with poor and unsophisticated friends and family members from Newport News, Virginia, where everyone knew him as "Ookie." Young described him as "young and country." Others mentioned "ghetto loyalty" and saw Vick as being, like a lot of black athletes, "held captive by a code that requires them to help neighborhood friends." This is the theme of all profiles of Michael Vick.
Needless to say, there is a good side to that. Vick is loyal. He put old friends in charge of managing his endorsement contracts. He did a lot of good for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Hampton Roads and for many other organizations that help poor kids. One night, at the height of his travails in the summer of 2007, a local community center sponsored a "community hug" for Vick. The director of the center described the evening to USA Today. Local youths had told him that "if PETA showed up in this neighborhood, they'd better bring Saint Peter with them."
Ingrid Newkirk of PETA told the New York Times last week: "We continue to ask Mr. Goodell to put him through psychological counseling and testing to see if he can be remorseful." It was Vick's lack of "remorse" that led the judge in his case to slap him with a longer sentence than his fellow defendants. But one cannot measure remorse. (One can measure servility, which is perhaps what those who call for remorse are generally seeking to procure.) And why should we care about remorse? We don't need Vick to love dogs. We just need him not to repeat his crime.

- Health care reform – dead in the house and frozen in the senate until Anthem/Blue Cross announces billions in earnings along with huge policy price increases and the tea party takes the Kennedy senate seat.
- Wall Street reform – seemingly dead in the Senate, then record-breaking Wall Street profits, revelations of sinister-sounding, but all too routine conflicts and manipulation, then Goldman Sachs was indicted.
Site problems
If you have been to the Dew the last couple of days, you've probably noticed that we have had some technical issues – pages loading slowly, problems with sign in and comments and, at times, no site at all. It seems we have out grown our $7 a month server. Over the next week, we will be migrating the site to new, larger, more reliable, and, hopefully, much faster servers. Servers that come with technical support who actually answer the phone and speak Southern. We have also set up a CDN (Content Delivery Network) which mirrors the Dew on servers all over the world to feed the site scripts and images from a source closer – and faster – to where a visitor is. Finally, we are converting our cache system to a more sophisticated approach to take advantage of all this new technology. All to say, hang in there with us. It will get better soon.
In the meantime, if you have specific problems, let me know. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Losing Faith
Most of us have grown use to the Bush era security lapses. A trillion or so squandered on a faux war on terror. Hundreds of billions more flushed down the toilet of Homeland Security. Then a story breaks by ProPublica, Washington Post and the New York Times – our government knew of the Mumbai plot two years in advance and did nothing. Despite the the all tough-on-terror spin, trashing of the Bill of Rights and the Geneva Convention, and enriching their defense contractor cronies, the Republicans again proved that they were inept at security as they were at waging war, managing the economy, mitigating disasters, educating our young, caring for wounded veterans, or telling the truth. But that isn't the part of the story that has me losing faith. I have this naïve belief that what makes our society civilized is voluntarily compliance with our common values.
Pledge to America: the cliff notes
The long awaited sequel to Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract On America," is out. Here are cliff notes. A summary of sorts inspired by Cliff Hillegrass' original, but written for the lemmings expected to be led and fall from the cliff.
Overall: Republicans pledge to reconnect with their version of the "permanent truth" of long-buried, rich, slave-owning white men – none of whom were Baptist – who lived in a time before indoor plumbing, electricity, automobiles, telephones, television, internets, rights for women or people of color, automatic weapons, predator drones, polling, political action committees, Republicans, Democrats, citizenship, elections, Wall Street, public libraries, credit cards, corporations, health insurance, retirement plans, banks, dollars, and the life expectancy was about 30.
Back to Work to the People's Business
Lawmakers are back to work this week after the long Labor Day recess. With elections just six weeks away and so many millions of Americans suffering poverty, unemployment, facing eviction, bankruptcy, hunger or without medical care, let's take a look at how are representatives are going to prove to the voters that they take their jobs seriously.
In addition to prayers, committee meetings, general housekeeping and endless requests for things to be read into the record that didn't actually occur, here's what is on this week's schedule in both chambers, I kid you not…
Fool me thrice
I have a friend who remarried his first wife. It worked out about the way one would expect. As he was sitting in the court room in what was the second divorce from the same woman, he was called to rise before the judge to hear the order, "Mr. McKelvey," the judge began, "I see here that you have already been granted a divorce from this woman once before."
"Yes, your honor," my friend humbly submitted.
"Mr. McKelvey, in South Carolina, we only allow one divorce per woman. Surely you can understand anyone who'd need two deserves what he gets."
Park stories
"There's something about white people," Bull said as he sat down beside me on the stone wall overlooking the shopping gauntlet of the Saturday Green Market in Atlanta's Piedmont Park, "they want everything."
Bull's given name is Tony and I've know him for three years. As one might suspect, Bull didn't get his nickname for awkward moments in a china shop. In his mid-fifties, he's affable, homeless and pretty much knows how to stay out of trouble with the homeless police*. Bull went on to tell me, while punctuating each phrase with a pause and a laugh, "You know, money's no good for holding on to. It's got to keep moving. That's why they do it – always buying stuff."
Our forests are too overgrown to fail
An economic analogy.
We have been preventing and fighting forest fires for a couple of hundred years believing it was the best way to preserve our forests and our way of life. We were wrong.
Left to themselves, naturally occurring forest fires were frequent, slow moving and limited. These fires cleared the weak, dead or dying trees. These fires burned the brush and vegetation from the forest floor, which supports destructive insects and has become the fuel of the major fires we know today. These fires diversified the environment, made the soil richer and forced the trees to develop thicker bark, which protected them from the heat…
Dog Days News
So Blago's guilty of lying, but after six and half years of Justice Department investigations, many millions spent, federal prosecutors couldn't convince 12 of his peers that he was guilty of any of the other 23 charges. Blago will likely be re-tried.
Our hemisphere is having the hottest summer ever recorded – wildfires in Russia, an iceberg four times the size of Manhattan has broken off Greenland, and Pakistan has more than 20 million affected by flooding with 8+ million in desperate need of food and clean water – yet, the Climate and Energy Bill is being held hostage by Senate Republicans who continue to deny global climate change has been caused by their hot air.
The verdict's in
I was called for jury duty this week. Having polled the 300 jurors-in-waiting for Fulton County Court, our judgement was unanimous: if the price of voting is jury duty, we need to demand better candidates.
It is a tradition to bitch and moan about being called to jury duty, but with almost no exception, those of us summoned, recognized that jury duty is a humbling honor. Plus, it is a once a year chance to be in a room for a day filled with your peers.
Sermon on the stump
The Damnitudes:
Now when he saw the ratings, he went up on each of the networks and sat down. His disciples tuned in to him, and he began to teach them saying:
Damned are the poor and unemployed, for theirs is the kingdom of the street.
Damned are those who mourn, for they will be mocked.
Damned are the meek, for they will inherit the nothing, though it will be tax free.
Damned are those who hunger and thirst for leftedness, for they will suffer and starve.
Damned are the merciful, for they will be shown no mercy.
Damned are the pure in heart, for they will be blind to my truth.
Mission Accomplished
ATLANTA — Today, President Obama announced to the National Convention of Disabled Veterans of America that he is keeping one of his campaign promises – America's longest war will be unofficially* over on August 31, 2010. Twenty years and eight months since our Middle East invasion. More than 4,000 American lives have been lost and 30,000+ wounded or disabled. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians lost or maimed and millions more have been displaced or are refugees. An estimated five million orphaned children.
ASSume the position
WADR for those in romantic relationships with a banker and actually want it in the ass, the banking industry, aka: we caused the greatest depression since the last and are too big to fail this election cycle so we get money for the Fed for as close to nothing as is measurable and may or may not lend it to you for 33.3% plus fees, are, surprise, taking advantage of real, or will be real loopholes in the passed, but not litigated, totally ruled or commented, but well-monikered Credit Card Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. Duh? Just what do you think more than a million dollars a day will buy in DC? Dinners? Jets? Sex? Condos in Puerto Rico? Elections? Sure, but the money is really for the details and the details are for loopholes.
Keep your friends close & family closer
I defriended my cousin on Facebook. My father's mother's brother's son. I feel bad about it, but he had stepped over the virtual line we had drawn by posting another pseudo-political diatribe/comment on my wall. My cousin's belief system has little room for fact and he has found that Facebook is the perfect pulpit for his sputem-stained dogma. Please don't misunderstand, I have tremendous respect and admiration for people of faith – especially, religious faith, faith in aliens, faith in spouses, children, the dollar – that sort of thing.
Another long weekend
Alert Dewsletter readers may have noticed their "Sunday Dews" arriving Saturday. Oops, my bad. Our automated email system failed overnight and a manual replacement version had to be created. As I hit the send button, I yelled out to my sleeping wife, "Your Sunday Dewsletter was just sent." With her eyes still closed, she yelled back, "it's Saturday."
We have a bug in our email system that has caused subscribers to receive multiple Dewsletters the last two weekends. We thought we had it fixed. We'll work it on it some more. No telling what's going to happen on the real Sunday. Please bear with us.
Earning Impunity
Goldman Sachs had revenues of $13.4 billion last year not including the $10 billion in bailout money. Without admitting wrong for helping former Treasury Secretary now hedge-fund billionaire Hank Paulson bilk investors by packaging and selling toxic mortgages designed to fail, Goldman has agreed to settle civil fraud charges for an amount equal to about two week's revenue, $550 million, plus $1.3 million for lobbying and politicians. Were Goldman Sachs the first and last name of a person, they would be in jail and pennyless. As a corporation, their stock went up over $3 billion after the announcement.
A Declaration of Dependence
A recently discovered, candid, but politically incorrect draft with last minute changes.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for rich^one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and more than equal station to which the Laws of Capitalism^Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Joining the 50 million
Our health insurance was canceled last month. We have joined the ranks of the uninsured. Collateral damage in health care reform and the race to parse the regulations, drive trucks of cash through the loopholes and squeeze every dollar out of every soul still breathing.
Payments were current. We had not made a claim that exceeded our deductible in couple of years. Nothing had changed. And we weren't even told until three weeks after it had happened. There's no appeal. No reason required. No COBRA. It is just gone. And it was done on purpose.
Research shows what it doesn't show
If you don't have a phone, you can't hang up on them.
Land lines have become quaint. It is almost funny to think that, here we are in 2010, and yet, some people still use those old style telephones that require wires to plug into the wall in order to work. Way back in 2004, more than 90% of households had a landline. In 2009, 25% of households are cell phone only.
"Why is this a political story," you might ask? It is against federal law* to use the automated dialers, which most pollsters use, to call cell phones. Add to that the number of households who primarily use their cell phones (cell dependent) and screen their landlines, and you begin to see a larger problem accurately projecting poll numbers.
The day the music died
Something sinister must have occurred to start the cycle we are in now.
A cycle in which our political center has moved. When being "pro-business" became more politically popular than being "pro-worker." When being for "free markets" could rally crowds and "consumer protection" would bring on "boos." When prosecuting a "war on terrorism" stokes jingoism instead of fears of "nation building," while "presumption of innocence," "due process" and the "right to counsel" was the treasonous coddling of our enemies. When "gun rights" became more important than "insuring domestic tranquility." When "faith" could claim a higher standing than "fact," or "truth," or "science."
Themmigration Reform
The only thing to fear is them themselves.
It is going around. There are at least ten other states, Utah, Georgia, Colorado, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska among them, considering anti-immigration laws in the same spirit as the one passed by Arizona (ThinkProgress.org). Arizona's new law requires law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws "where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States." So, what would make you reasonably suspect someone? Language? Accent? Skin color? Hair type? Height? Weight? Surname? Intelligence? Car type? Living conditions? No driver's license? Proximity to the border with Mexico? All of the above? Yes, that would be profiling. Constitutional? No telling from this court.
What would Pat Robertson say?
Let's take a quick look at recent legislative initiatives and the relationship of opposition-killing news events:
Incredibly high fictitious cost of health care
Health care reform doesn't go into effect for 3 more years, so why is it costing really really big businesses so much right now? In the last month, company after company has announced quarterly earnings and included huge accounting charges for health care costs.
"Why? For what? And should we be scared shitless?" Glad you asked. First off, except for exercising their Supreme Court given right to paid free speech, which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on lobbyists to fight the health care reform bill, it hasn't cost big business a nickel. Nothing. Nada.
We don't deserve them
What an amazing session. To watch and listen to the 10+ hour session and the debates, one could have a sense of how truly difficult it is for a bill to pass – much less anything as important, historic or intelligible. It is no wonder that it took more than one hundred years to pass a health care bill that will have such dramatic and direct impact on every American's* life.
While the celebrity stars of the drama will get the appreciation (or vitriol) of the political junkies and news and opinion readers, I believe it is time to acknowledge those who do not – those long-suffering, unsung Congresspeople, so often scorned, forgotten and reelected.
Health Care: When You'll Get Yours
Updated 3/19/201o to include the House Reconciliation Bill & CBO estimate.
The Democrats say it is going to pass – maybe this week. For those of you who haven't had a chance to read all 2,009 pages (depending on which version you count) of the Senate's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA: HR 3590) and or even the 74 page summary – and, the 153 page House Reconciliation Act of 2010 (AKA: HR 4872), I thought you might like to know what's in it for you. And when.
Wisdom from the dirt
Ed and Harriet have a zip line that begins at the top of a six-foot ladder tied to a 300+ year old live oak at one end of their backyard. It dead ends 100 feet later into a blanket padded tree at the other end.
High speed zipping through the yard while screaming at the top of one's lungs is great fun, but not a team sport. Only one thrill ride can occur at a time. Fighting for who goes next gets old faster than they do. Watching is totally tame. Ed, who just turned nine and sister, Harriet, who turns eight next week, wanted more. Some way to scream louder. Get dirtier. And challenge the borders of their visiting playmate/grandfather.
Reason for optimism
A few months ago a certain head of a certain private SC university called me a "fatalist." I'm not. I'm an American. Americans are always optimists. I'm just near the top of my personal bell curve of cynicism. It seemed at the time, for good cause, but not now.
A new study just out for 2009 (Obama took office in 2010) says that despite the record unemployment, layoffs, furloughs, downsizing, off-shoring, Wall Street crash, real estate crash, and worst depression since Prozac was allowed to advertise on TV, it seems that millionaires in the US grew by 16% to 7.8 million and those whose worth is over $5 million was up 17%. It goes on to project that the concentration of wealth should it continue as it did during the Bush years, it will have us looking like Mexico in 2048*. Now I know what you are thinking: that will solve the illegal immigration problem. See? I'm not a fatalist.
Did you see The Warning?
For anyone who would like to know how the economic meltdown could happen and when it will happen it again, you just have to see this show: PBS Frontline: The Warning. As you'd expect, it stars a bunch of rich powerful middle-aged white men in courageous battle to protect Ayn Rand's dream of unfettered capitalism against one woman, Brooksley Born, who dared to raise her hand and suggest that the super secret, totally unregulated, multi-trillion dollar derivatives markets needed adult supervision. It is riveting. Find out how we hunted down those responsible and made sure they can't do it to us again. Spend a few minutes strolling memory lane with the greatest leaders of our lives: Ford, Reagan, Greenspan, Clinton, Rubin, Gramm and others. Here's a 4 minute preview: Click here to see the timeline.

Trump To Get Baptized In Creek before Next Debate
Opp, Ala. – For the first time since announcing his run for president, Donald Trump spoke in tongues on Monday and told evangelicals gathered at a tent revival and barbecue he plans to get baptized in a creek before the next presidential debate. The announcement at a rural Alabama Baptist church caught GOP observers by surprise as well as evangelicals gathered to hear the usual Trump stump speech denouncing Mexicans and insulting women.

An old Jewish curse says, "May Your Life Be Filled With Lawyers." Better lawyers than bedpans.

"That's unacceptable."

Peer-Run Recovery and Drop-In Centers
Recovery and drop-in centers are places where people with mental illness can stop by to enjoy a cup of coffee, socialize or just hang out in a low stress, low demand environment. Centers are typically staffed with volunteers and paid peer-staff who ensure a safe, comfortable and friendly atmosphere. People who come to the centers connect with (and find hope and inspiration from) a community of people in recovery. Peers encourage one another toward independence in housing, education and jobs.

SNP select candidate for Glasgow East
The Scottish National Party tonight selected Cllr John Mason as the SNP's candidate for the Glasgow East by-election.
Cllr Mason is leader of the SNP Group on Glasgow Council and represents the Baillieston ward within the constituency of Glasgow East. Cllr Mason has represented the East End of Glasgow for 10 years since winning a council by-election in 1998.
First Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond welcomed the selection of a candidate with a track record of working for the East End.
Cllr John Mason said;
"It is a huge privilege to be selected to contest the seat of Glasgow
East. This by-election is the chance for people in Glasgow East to elect an MP who is on their side, not out of touch like Labour.
"By voting for the SNP the people of Glasgow East will elect an MP who will put Glasgow before Gordon Brown and speak up for the interests of people in this constituency.
"The SNP in Government has already shown that we are on the side of people in Glasgow fighting back against gangs with more police on our streets, targeting the booze and blade culture with plans to end access to the cheap alcohol that fuels violence on the city's streets, guaranteeing free bus travel for all our elderly and at a time of rising prices and a squeeze on family budgets, cutting the cost of prescriptions, and freezing the council tax to put money back into people's pockets.
"In contrast Labour are out of touch with the East End, doubling the tax on hard working families, and allowing fuel prices and energy bills to spiral out of control.
"The SNP in Glasgow is 'on your side'. The Labour party is out of touch. Glasgow's Labour MPs have put Gordon before Glasgow – the SNP will put Glasgow East on the map."
SNP Leader and First Minister Alex Salmond congratulated Cllr Mason on his selection and spoke of his commitment to the East End of Glasgow
"Cllr Mason is the man to put Glasgow East on the map. He knows what matters to people in the East End and he will work hard to make sure their concerns are heard loud and clear at Westminster.
"At a time when Labour in London is benefiting from extra billions in the bank as a result of rising oil prices, families in Glasgow East are
feeling the pinch with food and fuel prices on the up.
"In Government the SNP has taken steps to support people in Glasgow East, to cut crime and vandalism, to target gangs and to tackle the scourge of drug and alcohol abuse in our communities.
"The SNP's record of freezing the council tax, putting more police on the streets and abolishing prescription charges shows our commitment to Glasgow East. This by-election is an opportunity for people in the East End of Glasgow to send a message to London and to join the SNP and the Scottish Government to work together for a fair deal for Glasgow."

If you would like to save money an purchase a high mileage car, too bad, not here in the US.
Germany has reached 170 mpg with the new model VW 1L (1 liter engine)
Guy built a 1992 Honda Civic to get 72 mpg / 95 mpg highway
Picture of his car is at aerocivic dot com
You should never look to gubmint or corporations to solve problems you can solve yourself.
Remember the old 4 cylinder cars from the 80's like Tercels, Rabbits, B210's? They got great gas mileage (40mpg range or higher).
Since Gas mileage is tied very closely to vehicle weight.....what some guys are are doing now for example is taking old VW Rabbit convertibles (which are already lightweight and safer than cutting structural metal out of the frame yourself) and putting "diesel" engines in them.
These modded diesel Rabbits are getting 70+ mpg!
I found a good site called ecomodder dot com with lots of cool stuff like that. Then swing over to Youtube and build an HHO module to run hydrogen with gasoline to add another 15+ mpg. Thats 85 mpg right there you can get yourself being creative.

Specter to Bachmann: Act Like a "Lady"
12:19 PM, Jan 22, 2010 • By EMILY ESFAHANI SMITH
In case you missed it, be sure to listen to this radio clip from a local Pennsylvania show, in which Senator Arlen Specter gets testy with Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann. Specter accuses Bachmann of interrupting him and says "I am going to treat you like a lady, so act like one."
Bachmann responded on Sean Hannity's show, saying, "I was patronized and basically told to sit down and shut up."
In other news, Rasmussen reports: "Republican Pat Toomey now leads incumbent Senator Arlen Specter 49% to 40% in Pennsylvania's race for the U.S. Senate."
Specter's poll numbers continue to sink, and he continues to reveal himself as a man unhinged.

Mory Kanté
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2011)
|Mory Kanté
29 March 1950
Albadaria, Guinea[1][2]
|World music
|Singer, songwriter
|Vocals, kora
|Years active
Mory Kanté (born 29 March 1950) is a Guinean vocalist and player of the kora harp. He is best known internationally for his 1987 hit song "Yé ké yé ké", which reached number-one in Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, and Spain.
He was born into one of Guinea's best known families of griot (hereditary) musicians. After being brought up in the Mandinka griot tradition in Guinea, he was sent to Mali at the age of seven years – where he learned to play the kora, as well as important voice traditions, some of which are necessary to become a griot.[2]
In 1971 Kanté became a member of the Rail Band, in which Salif Keïta was a singer.[2] Keïta left the band in 1973, leaving Kanté as the singer.[2]
In 1987, he released the song "Yé ké yé ké", which was one of Africa's best-ever selling hits as well as being a European number-one in 1988, making it the first ever African single to sell over one million copies.[citation needed]
Three songs from Akwaba Beach (1987) were referenced in three blockbuster songs in Hindi films. Yé ké yé ké is played in the background of the 1990 epic Agneepath, when Amitabh Bachchan's character is in Mauritius. Tama, another song from this album inspired Tamma Tamma Loge from the 1990 hit Thanedaar, starring Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit as well as Jumma Chumma De De from the 1991 Bachchan magnum opus Hum. Another song from this album Inch Allah inspired the opening lines of the title track of Hum.
Kanté received unexpected fame again in 1994 when the German techno duo Hardfloor created a dance remix of "Yéké Yéké." He also appeared in 2006 as vocalist on British DJ Darren Tate's release, "Narama".
On 16 October 2001, Mory Kanté was nominated Goodwill Ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

Course Descriptions
LDR 500 Leadership in Practice (3 sessions, 1 credit)
In this 1-credit, three week course participants will be introduced to the Master of Arts in Leadership. Participants will be presented with the seminal theories of leadership and asked to begin applying them to contemporary environments. The course will outline program requirements including the capstone project (journaling, film analysis, and ethnographic/applied leadership analysis) and will prepare participants for the expected program and graduate outcomes. LDR 500 is a pre or co-requisite class for students in the Master of Arts in Leadership program.
GCC 550 Graduate Writing and Research (2 credits)
This course is designed to assist students who are beginning graduate study to strengthen and improve their academic writing skills. An emphasis will be placed on mastering basic techniques of academic writing, including the correct use of written Standard English, organization, summarization, analysis, and citation. GCC 550 is a pre or co-requisite class for students in the Master of Arts in Leadership program.
LDR 502 Leadership & the New Science: Research Design & Methods to Understand Leadership
This course provides a wide-view background of the relationship between scientific thinking, decision making, research processes and design, leadership and organizational life. Students will explore the implications of the differing methods of leadership research practices and theories of change on our ideas and practices of leadership in organizations. Students will also review the fundamentals of the scientific research process and will focus on the use of qualitative and quantitative research methods as an appropriate response to understanding how and why organizations and leadership within them function as they do.
LDR 504 Cultural Anthropology & Leadership: Organizations as Culture
In this course, students will analyze organizations using the conceptual and analytical tools of anthropology. Topics include the characteristics of culture, social organization, and the interplay between socio-cultural factors and leadership styles. Students will learn the distinctive methods that leaders and consultants borrow from cultural anthropology to deepen their understanding of their organizations. The seminar will focus on the interplay of leadership, culture, and organizational effectiveness. Participants will begin to learn the skills of ethnography, culminating in a mini-ethnographic study of an organization and a report of their findings.
LDR 506 Moral Leadership: Defining the Character of Individuals in Organizations
In this course we will explore two important and related topics: leadership and ethics in organizations. Questions that will be explored include: What is leadership? How does it differ from management? Does it have an impact on organizational mission and performance? Where are leaders in organizations, and what are their roles? What roles do leaders play in shaping the culture and in shaping what is considered right and wrong within the organization? Can ethical reasoning be taught, and if so, how can one learn the needed skills? How can one learn to make right vs. right decisions and explain their decisions to others? Since all organizational decisions are ultimately made and implemented by individuals, we will focus primarily on practical aspects of leadership and ethical decision-making as they impact the individual, rather than looking at more broad issues such as the social responsibility of businesses or organizations.
LDR 508 Servant Leadership
This course is designed as a study of the theory and practice of Servant Leadership. It is also an exploration of how students can apply Servant Leadership in their own lives. Servant Leadership theory was developed by Robert Greenleaf more than 25 years ago. Since that time Servant Leadership has had a profound effect on the business and non-profit world. Students will explore the gulf between those who lead in order to serve others, and those who lead in order to serve self. This exploration will be undertaken from a variety of angles. Students will trace the origins of the Servant Leader concept by reading the book from which Greenleaf obtained the original idea, Herman Hesse's Journey to the East. Simultaneously students will explore modern-day examples of Servant Leadership in action through the writings of top management thinkers. Students will tie it all together by constructing practical applications of the Servant Leader theory to be used at work, school, and/or in their personal lives.
LDR 510 Human Resource Management in a Changing Environment
This course is a study of techniques and skills necessary to manage and effectively guide human resources in a rapidly changing technological environment. Emphasis is on formulation and implementation of strategies to understand, guide, and develop human resources within the modern organization. It covers analysis of humanistic and ethical issues facing management and employees in the changing workforce and behavioristic concerns as experienced within organizations.
LDR 512 Leadership & Diversity
This course will strive to enable students to understand the importance of valuing and managing the diversity of many different kinds of people that are in the workplace. The term diversity goes far beyond race and gender. As a leader it is essential to develop awareness of our areas of bias,to gain the knowledge of diverse groups so that we can then learn skills in managing diversity in all the forms it takes and ultimately lead the way. Students will be asked to challenge themselves and their ideas as they work through the different workplace issues related to diversity and leadership. Students will be asked to look at issues from the viewpoint of a leader. Critical thinking will be essential when it comes to examining ideas, feelings, and plans related to diversity and leadership issues. Patience and tolerance of ideas and each other will be key.
LDR 514 Resolving Conflict Through Dialog
How do parties make promises and commitments, offer rewards and threaten punishments through discussion and debate that together determine the conditions for a negotiated outcome? How do communication style and negotiation tactics produce successful settlement of disputes?
The meaning of conflict resolution adopted in this course is focused on peaceful, non-violent mechanisms, spanning formal and informal interactions and bargaining between disputants to reach procedural and substantive solutions. Levels of conflicts and resolution settings are often differentiated by identifying the adversaries, whether they are nation-states, ethnic groups, business or political organizations, community groups, neighbors, or individuals. We will examine these perspectives in order to understand various layers where conflicts arise, and to make comparisons across issues and participants noting similarities and contrasts in resolution manner, effort, and achievement.
MB 516 Organizational Behavior
This course examines the theoretical assumptions of organizational behavior and the issues and challenges that arise when managing and leading. Students will investigate the interrelationships between the individual, the group, and the organization. The course will emphasize managerial practices needed in a variety of settings and the application of these methods to realistic situations. Students will be required to demonstrate effective
communication skills throughout the course.
LDR 550 Special Topics in Leadership
In this course students will be exposed to a current issue in Leadership. Faculty and students will explore the predetermined topic and discuss its relevance to Leadership in practice.
LDR 600 Team Building & Leadership: Intensive Off-Site Experience
In this course participants will study team leadership and teambuilding through a series of exercises, a behavioral assessment, group discussions, and readings. Key learning components encompass: enhancing the quality of participation in a team environment, modeling effective leadership, leading groups, how to communicate more effectively, creative thinking and purposeful behavior directed towards achieving team goals. Each team will create a Team Covenant that will assist them through their academic career and one where the application will transfer into their professional lives. In addition each learner will create a personal leadership development program to guide them in their professional careers.
LDR 602 Leadership, Imagination & Communication
Seminar members will identify and explore a large-scale "leadership change" opportunity of their choosing. In this seminar they will learn to imagine possible futures and discover new ideas. They will explore the role of leaders in imagining futures for themselves as well as their organizations. Seminar members will explore ways to connect the inner life of the soul, with the outer life of organizational change and innovation. They will explore their own creativity, discuss the creativity of successful leaders and organizations, and learn to apply theory to practice in their own personal and professional lives. The seminar will conclude with members creating a project plan which will lead them to express their leadership in a new and novel way.
LDR 604 Capstone Course: Strategic Leadership in a Changing Society
In this culminating course, seminar members put the finishing touches on their capstone "leadership change project"-- working extensively with each-other's plans and learning to provide positive feedback and work across teams. Teams work on synthesis and final integration of their field research, complete their capstone project, and conduct analysis of peer team's projects. The seminar re-capitulates the major themes of the program and explores deeper realms of human purpose and our roles as leaders in shaping future human potential.

moreThis edited collection illuminates what made dance modern in keeping with the spirit of developments in science and other artforms in the early twentieth century. A revitalised interest in nature, the ancient Greeks, and the freedom of the body to express powerful emotions was to transform dance and physical culture.
Contemporaries of Isadora Duncan and LoIe Fuller, the distinctive contributions of dance teachers and artists, Madge Atkinson, Doris Humphrey and Ruby Ginner who generated schools and syncretic creative approaches are documented in this book.
Educators and scientists were harnessing the natural in gymnastics and social theory, while inter-related cultural trends were inspiring arts practices, such as Art Nouveau, new music and fashion, to study 'nature'. These developments in the UK, US, Europe and Australia created the landscape for the serious pursuit of dance, in the flow of modernity, and continue to influence the major currents of dance activity today.

Jan. 18, 2013
Todea-Kay Willis leaped a season-best 19-6 1/4 (5.95m) to win the long jump for the second week in a row to highlight the Golden Gophers' opening day of the Jack Johnson Classic. Competition began Friday afternoon at the Minnesota Fieldhouse and will continue all day Saturday.
Willis' winning jump came on her first attempt in the final round. Chidera Obasih finished third. Stephanie Solfelt, second in the 5,000 meters (18:03), was the Gophers' other top-three finisher on Friday.

Cold case team takes on Ventura County's unsolved murders
Cathleen Saline's screams were heard by neighbors.
A man was seen jumping over a brick wall as she lay dying on a sidewalk outside her Moorpark apartment, but since that October day in 1983, the man has not been identified.
Saline, 26, was returning from her morning jog when she was attacked and stabbed once in the torso. She didn't have any enemies, and her husband was not a suspect. A motive was never established, and the case remains open.
The Ventura County Cold Case Task Force, established in 2005, works on putting a face to such cases, including 40 other unsolved crimes, by fishing for answers in an ocean of evidence and reports.
The task force, which includes two full-time investigators and two retired police sergeants, is funded by a federal grant and earmarks.
The old homicide cases under investigation occurred across the county between 1971 and 1995.
"A case goes cold when all logical leads are exhausted," said Dennis Fitzgerald, a retired Port Hueneme police sergeant on the task force. "It could be anywhere from six months to a year, to two years."
The investigators sift through stacks of case files encased in thick black binders. The files include old newspaper articles, background information on victims and countless interviews. They can add up to thousands of pages.
"Just beginning to look at these cases is monumental. You are reading stuff that is 30-something years old, and you have to make sense of it," said Arnie Aviles, a retired Ventura County sheriff's sergeant on the task force. "And once you read it, you have to go back and look at the evidence."
That can include everything from DNA from saliva, blood or hair to a bottle or hat left at a scene.
Selected evidence can be entered into the DNA Index System, a national database that contains DNA profiles of people arrested across the United States, officials said.
DNA hits from the national database have led to numerous arrests in Ventura County cold cases. Just this summer, investigators nabbed suspects in two separate killings.
John Clark Russell was arrested in July on suspicion of killing Alma Zuniga, 23, of Oxnard, who was found buried in a shallow grave in El Rio in March 1979, officials said.
Thomas Young, 65, of Fairfield, Ala., was arrested in September in connection with the 1980 death of a 15-year-old Oxnard girl.
But a law that lets authorities obtain a genetic sample from every person arrested on felony charges is being contested by the American Civil Liberties Union. The organization argues that taking DNA samples from people who have not been convicted is an example of unlawful search and seizure.
The California Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court's overturning of Proposition 69, which expanded existing statute that allowed police to collect DNA from convicted felons by swabbing their cheek. The expansion includes all people accused of felonies.
The technology has helped solve cold cases but also has led to the exoneration of at least 200 wrongly convicted people across the nation.
Cold case investigators in Ventura County said obtaining a DNA sample is as easy as taking fingerprints, and they don't believe it is invasive.
Fitzgerald said if the system is eliminated, "murders would never be solved."
Aviles said, "The only purpose of not doing it is to let people get away with murder."
Like the person who fatally stabbed Josephina Martinez, 18, in her Santa Paula home in May 1979. Her 3-year-old daughter was next to her but was not injured. No useful DNA evidence was collected at the scene, and no motive was established.
Or the person who beat Felix Ruiz, 51, to death in November 1992. Ruiz's body was found in an orchard on Moorpark Avenue between Los Angeles Avenue and Third Street in Moorpark. People used the area as a shortcut to get to a shopping center. A motive for the killing has not been established.
The task force takes on the frustrations that detectives had decades ago, and reaches out to the original investigators to find details that never made it into their notes.
"These investigators never forget their unsolved murders," Aviles said. "They take these things to the grave with them if they don't solve them."
Greg Hayes, a district attorney investigator who works with the task force and was previously a Ventura police detective, has admiration for those original investigators.
"What strikes me is the incredible police work" they did, he said.
"They didn't have the benefit of DNA and had to put a case together the old-fashioned way," he said.The task force often travels to talk to family members or witnesses who have moved out of Ventura County.
"We've been as far north as Oregon, as far east as New York and everything in between," Fitzgerald said.
"Cold cases require a lot of travel because people move all over. That's what makes it fun."
Investigators work with law enforcement agencies, the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office and an outside crime lab.
When an arrest is made, the investigators often share the joy with original detectives and family members who finally get closure.
"There's nothing like it," Fitzgerald said. "It makes it so worthwhile, no matter how long you worked these cases, no matter how many dead-ends you went to."
But just like in current cases, an arrest doesn't mean the work ends.
"Once an arrest happens, it opens up a whole new avenue of leads," Hayes said. "It's almost like the case rejuvenates and starts over."
The task force relies on the public to provide information about crimes and about people already arrested.
"There are people out there who know about our murders and are keeping a deep, dark secret," Hayes said.
"Now that 10, 15, 20 years have passed, it sort of bothers them, and they know the responsible thing to do is tell someone."
Anyone with information on a cold case can call Hayes at 384-4733 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-222-TIPS.

Fast, easy and delicious. The flavours of the carrot and fennel really compliment each other. Served it with salmon grilled on the BBQ, but can go with a number of mains.flag if inappropriate
This was my first foray into fennel and it was both surpringly easy and incredibly flavorful... A nice mix of sweetness from the carrots with a little bitter from the fennel. The only change I made was to blanch the carrots and fennel before roasting. Overall, the dish was fantastic, and it received rave reviews from my three guests. We're making it again next week!flag if inappropriate
The addition of the fennel seeds really makes this version of roasted vegetables delicious. The method of preparation here allows the vegetables to maintain some moistness and not dry out.flag if inappropriate
Awesome flavors...and oh, so easy! Great combo, sweetness of carrots and sharpness of fennel. This will now be a family favorite! Served with old family standby of marinated pork tenderloin with mustard/chive sauce...a total winner! Spring is here, yeah!flag if inappropriate
This dish was delicous in looks smell & taste. It was simple to make & is now my new favorite veggie dishflag if inappropriate

Par Still a Diane Gilman fan

I usually only ware Diane Gilman jeans but the ladies on the shopping channel were praising the fit so I thought I'd try them. I bought them in burgundy, great fabric, love the color, fit great in the behind & length but I find the legs to skinny especially for a boot cut. Perfect if your a large with skinny legs

Par The Shopper
de Toronto, ON
I was so excicted to see Another Brand of Jeans at TSC as DG just don't fit me properly. These Margaret M are perfect for those ladies who like a slightly lower rise. I'm not talking teenage low rise. These sit just slightly below belly button. They are very comfortable & I would order them in all colours BUT I did not like the positioning of the back pockets. The pockets sat too low at the back & it doesn't make for a flattering rear end. I really wanted to keep them but then I knew I probably wouldn't wear with anything tucked in as I wouldn't want the back pockets showing. I'm in my mid-50's and really love these pants but sadly & reluctantly returned them in the hopes they may make a change to the back pockets by raising them or even use a slash pocket at the back? They are a lovely soft material and good quality. I'm sure they will fit many body types & they are a fantastic alternative to DG which TSC seems to be too saturated with. I hope they bring these Margaret M Pants back with a slight alteration to the placement of the back pocket. They have just the right amount of cotton and spandex/stretch. I will definitely purchase & try them again if they can make this change.

Nice ~ my first skate ~ double runners on Niles pond. Cousins and brother and lots of encouragement ;)
My experience was on Days Pond playing hockey, we even had two goals we hauled out from the side used big nails to hold them in place. As I was a whooping 4-11 at 12 years old shorty- I got stuck in the goal before the padding days ouch and bruises…CCM days for sure :-)

Stockholm is taking notice on how Francesca is decorating her apartment. Especially when it comes to her innovative choices regarding graffiti art. The photo above is from an article in "Vi i Vasastan"
- It's always been a dream for me to own an apartment in Stockholm with a beautiful view, fantastic balcony and that shows my sense of style and identity in it's design. It felt like an impossible dream for many years, says Francesca Romana Correale.
- What makes the apartment unique is the graffiti painting which is absolutely central, both literally around the center of the apartment but also figuratively as a strong visual statement. It connects the clouds to the street.
- The graffiti totally makes the apartment. It represents me and my brand and my way of seeing things. Its technique is mesmerizing. It's colors reflect on all the windows and it is never never disturbing or boring. Its just too beautiful to be true. While walking past it you keep on discovering little details. At times it seems as if it is moving and the letters one moment or the other may bounce out of the wall and start talking, Francesca says.

How can I hint or properly ask a guy to kiss me?
I am going on a breakfast date and I know that if we don't break the physical barrier soon we will probably end up as friends. He is shy and I wouldn't feel comfertable just jumping him, so I would love to ask him to kiss me... any tips?
- Asked by tuala, A Creative, Female, 26-28, Student
Why would you feel uncomfortable just jumping him? Most guys would like that. If he doesn't like it, then you are lucky to find out now. You don't want that kind of guy. Now if a guy just jumps a women...that can be dangerous. See, being a woman has some advantages, so make use of them.
- Response by used2bsane, A Guy Critical, Male, 56-65, Denver, Other Profession
you lean in very close during the date several times, to whisper in his ear or brush a fake hair out of his eyes or straighten his brow hairs. any time you violate the 36" rule with americans (18" personal space with europeans), you are in their space and its personal.
- Response by pizzatroll, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 46-55, Science / Engineering
Community Rating: Community Star
After 160 years of "equality" feminism, don't "ask." Just kiss him when you want to. If he disagrees he can back away.
- Response by greenwind, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, Construction
Hint, ask? Hey, just kiss him, he will love it, if he doesn't, well, I ain't saying a word.
- Response by phoenixbandit, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Columbus, Law Enforcement
Either just tell him you want him to kiss you or just take control a little bit and just kiss him.
- Response by lasttrueromantic, A Creative, Female, 36-45, Teaching
Find a way to get close and look into his eyes and hope for the kiss.
- Response by lifestyle, A Father Figure, Male, 56-65, Houston
Got any mistletoe left?
- Response by bluegenel, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, Who Cares?, Technical
"Now would be a good time to kiss me."
- Response by damnpoor, A Couch Potato, Male, 29-35, Other Profession
Body language says alot. Saying nothing and just Move in slowly and close,look him in the eyes dont take your eyes of his and see how he response. Let him come into to u 2 create temptation .. he will either back right off or eventually u will be smooching. goodluck
- Response by berri, A Career Woman, Female, 46-55, New South Wales, Who Cares?
Shyness is not always your best friend - just simply ask him "Are you a good kisser?" and see if he gets the hint.
- Response by lom2009, A Guy Critical, Male, 46-55
Touch him when you talk and look at him in the eyes when you're talking, try to lean closer whenever you can and every now and then look at his mouth after you made eye contact, and then look at him in the eyes again. Good luck!
- Response by A Married Girl, Female, 29-35, Science / Engineering
Just kiss him..... oh wait.... make sure and have Bacon first... guys like Bacon

FLETCHER — At only 42, a heart attack was the last thing from Cathy Angrams mind when she started having bouts of nausea a few months ago.
Angram thought she had a bad case of acid reflux and went about her life.
Then, on Dec. 29 she wasnt feeling good and laid down. She was awoken at 2 a.m. by pain in her right arm and her chest.
I woke up my son and said I think Im having a heart attack, Angram said. I prayed it wasnt my heart but I knew it had something to do with it because of my arm.
At Park Ridge Health, emergency room doctors hooked her up to an EKG machine and ran some tests, confirming Angrams fear: she was indeed having a heart attack.
Angram was shipped to Mission Hospital in Asheville and a few hours later, doctors inserted a stent in her blocked artery.
Today, Angram is starting her rehabilitation at Park Ridge. Shes given up a habit of smoking cigars and is trying to eat better and exercise more. Angram is also dealing with panic attacks caused by stress and depression.
It is scary, she said. Youre scared to do anything because youre scared youll hurt the stent.
But, Angram is determined to keep going and get healthy so she doesnt have any more problems with her heart.
I am taking care of me now, she said. I think Ill get through it.
