Divide

Due to many reasons, many people around the country are deciding to remain in their present homes thus the decision to expand the livable space either outwardly or upwardly depending on the physical conditions. This decision most often requires the hiring of a professional to draw initial plans which then require governmental approval and large monetary expense. Because of these reasons, room divi

While Israel is engaged in a deadly, drawn-out conflict with Palestinian terrorists, one must wonder: Do all Israelis hate Palestinians and do all Palestinians hate Israelis? I posit in the negative.

More and more, we're seeing that John McCain is confused about what he stands for. Does McCain favor talking to Hamas or doesn't he?

The yawning divide between the haves and the have-nots of the digital revolution is a "threat to national unity" and even world security, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Friday.Yudhoyono told an audience including Microsoft chairman Bill Gates that information technology posed "formidable" challenges as well as great opportunities for developing countries like Indonesia."There is a real danger that the world's poor will be virtually excluded from the emerging knowledge-based global economy, with dire consequences to global peace and security," he said."In Indonesia... we can ill afford a digital divide across and within communities. There is a threat to national unity that we must effectively manage."Indonesia News Blog:

weird factsOne city commission wants to divide Florida into two states: North Florida and South Florida. The North Lauderdale City Commission says in a resolution that it's not confident in state leaders when it comes to collecting and spending their own money.It also says it would be "in the best interests of the citizens and residents" to divide the state.Commissioner Rich Moyle says they're frustrated with the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.When asked Tuesday about the resolution, Governor Charlie Crist could only muster up a laugh.Meanwhile, other municipalities and counties are being asked to join in the resolution. The boundary line would be from Palm Beach County down through Monroe County.[Via - CBSNews.Com]

Sen. Barack Obama recently sat down with a homosexual news service to discuss his plans to advance the homosexual agenda.Obama first assured the homosexual community that he has nothing but love for "gay issues," after the interviewer talked about his silence on the matter."I don’t think it’s fair to say "silence" on gay issues. The gay press may feel like I’m not giving them enough love.""But I haven’t been silent on gay issues. What’s happened is, I speak oftentimes to gay issues to a public general audience. When I spoke at Ebenezer Church for King Day, I talked about the need to get over the homophobia in the African-American community; when I deliver my stump speeches routinely I talk about the way that antigay sentiment is used to divide the country and distract us from is

A imprensa desta manhã destaca a divisão dos professores face ao entendimento obtido, no passado sábado, entre a Plataforma e o ME. Às críticas, Mário Nogueira, secretário-geral da Fenprof, responde com pragmatismo. "Limitámo-nos a perceber que havia uma aplicação descontrolada da avaliação nas escolas, em que já eram menos as que estavam paradas do que as que estavam a avançar a ritmos diferentes e que agora têm de parar. Desta forma, defendemos os professores e ainda contemplámos a hipótese de o modelo ser revisto em Junho do próximo ano, no final da primeira avaliação". O que para Vitorino Guerra representa o legitimar do modelo do Governo, "pois não se pode criticar a aplicação de algo que já foi posto em prática". Em relação à criação de uma nova categor

Different socioeconomic strata prefer different search enginesMEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- A new study from Tufts University shows that while the "digital divide" may be narrowing in terms of access to the Internet, a significant "digital skills divide" is emerging."Parents' access to childrearing information appears to be on the rise, in large measure because of the Web," said Professor Fred Rothbaum from the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University. "Unfortunately, the rise in Web use has been accompanied by a pronounced 'digital divide' involving socio-economic status differences in Web use, Web skills and Web satisfaction. This gives rise to concerns about the quality of information lower SES parents are accessing."Rothbaum and colleagues examined socio-economi

This from the Los Angeles Times blog, The Homeroom:I want to come clean about something that has bothered me since I started to teach: Veteran teachers get a bad rap.And now comes the rather difficult part, explaining why this bad rap exists. I will generalize to best illustrate the point. The reason younger teachers are usually suspect of their veteran counterparts has nothing to do with actually seeing these teachers at work. Instead, it has to do with their sense of cynicism and skeptical disregard for proposed change.As a corollary, most new teachers approach the school system as idealistically as you could possibly imagine. Wet behind the ears, a few too many feel-good-teacher-films under their belt, newer teachers are here to change the world. We are a brash generation of know-it-all

Speaking on the selection of the team under his captainship, he says: “I was pretty clear about the players I wanted in the side”. “Sometimes, it is very important to send the message across, because sometimes people neglect the answer”, he rubbed it in, to cle

Il caso Wilders è la grana politica di questi giorni, da poco scoppiato a livello internazionale, ma si sta guadagnando rapidamente l'attenzione del mondo per le sue implicazioni.E' giusto o meno che l'Olanda proibisca il film anti-Corano del suo deputato populista Geert Wilders, come le chiede una parte del mondo musulmano che si dice offeso e ferito ? o deve lasciare che il film venga diffuso in nome del sacrosanto principio della libertà, e non solo di espressione ? Come si vede le implicazioni, non solo politiche sono tante.Su questa domanda si scontrano due concezioni del mondo, quello occidentale , fondato sulla libertà e sul diritto, quello musulmano ed arabo molto spesso fondato solo sulla legge del Corano.Non è facile dare risposte alle domande, molte sono le implicazioni e

We are well into the Democratic primary race and the results are looking eerily similar to those predicted by a leaked Obama campaign memo from early February.  The memo outlines which states the Obama campaign expects to win and which ones it expects to lose.  The fact that the predictions have been so accurate implies that voters are making decisions based on factors that are easy to identify and hard to change.  During election night coverage, the pundits pour over exit-poll data to find which are voting for which candidates.  The voter profiles you hear over and over again on the networks are:Women vote for Clinton, men vote for ObamaAfrican-Americans vote for Obama, Latinos vote for ClintonPeople with college degrees vote for Obama, those without them vote for ClintonYoung vote

Dividing large bills into smaller chunks can make them much more manageable. They say the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. The point is, that when you look at the size of the thing, it is overwhelming, but by working at it one small bite at a time, you will make progress and eventually you will complete the task. The same principle applies to our finances. Be it saving for retirement, eliminating your consumer debt, or paying a huge bill. In our state we have to pay taxes on our personal property. So, at the end of every year we owe a few hundred dollars in property tax for our cars due on December 31. A bill for $350 can be challenging at any time, but right after the Christmas spending spree makes it even more difficult. The great news is that for $29.16 a month I can have all of the money saved up for that bill when December rolls around again. This is part of my budgeting with ING Direct that I  use. I create a savings account for each “elephant” siz

Love conquers all, or so we'd like to think. But when a relationship comes up against the ties of family, culture, and tradition, it helps to have the patience of a saint and the skills of a diplomat. Increasing numbers of American couples claim mixed racial heritage, and millions of others come from mixed religious backgrounds. While many of these couples are indeed drawn to one another in part because of their differences, the same qualities that may have attracted them can become relationship stumbling blocks.Susan and Arturo are part of this growing trend toward multicultural, multiethnic relationships. Susan, a strawberry-blond optometrist from Seattle, prepared to travel with her fiancé Arturo to spend Easter at his family home in New York City. The couple had met just seven months earlier when the dashing sales rep, originally from the Dominican Republic, came into Susan's store to check his prescription. "One of the things I noticed immediately about Arturo is that he is ext

Are you overwhelmed by the thought of trying to dig out of $15,000, $30,000, $60,000, or more of debt?  Whenever the task at hand doesn’t seem possible, step back and divide the problem into small pieces that you can conquer.  $25,000 may not seem possible given your current financial habits, but I bet most of can picture wiping out that $800 balance on a department store credit card. This is why the debt snowball strategy works so well.  Listing your debts smallest to largest, putting them on display, and then attacking the smallest one with a vengeance really makes things simple and manageable.  As the debts begin to fall, you start to feel that the end is actually attainable.  You behavior is changing and you get more courage and energy with each debt that is eliminated. The divide and conquer approach not only works well debt destruction, but also on any task that seems too big to accomplish.

An op-ed in this weekend’s USA Today brought back to the national agenda an issue that has been stewing since last winter. In a dispute apparently driven by financial incentives, Cherokee nation members voted overwhelmingly in March to purge some 2,800 blacks of tribal membership. The “freedmen” are, in part, ancestors of former slaves who were awarded Cherokee citizenship via a treaty from the mid-19th Century. With the potential of new casino revenues on the horizon, purging these members of their membership would result in a bigger payoff for those with Cherokee blood. Spencer Overton at blackprof.com was all over this when the vote first took place, as was Yo' Nas Da LoneWolf McCall-Muhammad, an Oglala Lakota black woman. She asks why groups of oppressed minorities

We've gotten some really fantastic comments on last week's post about discouraging professional performance ambitions in music education students--this post obviously struck a chord with many readers.  You can check out all of the comments on this post here, but I'll share a few of them here as well: Jerry Fuller writes: I found your comments on performance/education very interesting and I would like to push the conversation even further. I find professional performers too often are very highly, and narrowly, trained technicians. The artist can rise above being merely highly skilled with exciting and provocative musical interpretations. I hope and believe that the next frontier for the artist is to be an integrated, contributing member of the community which to me means performing at a very high level, teaching, providing hope by introducing the joy of music to the less privileged among us, and to be able to critically think about and articulate the role of the artist in

David and Kate Marshall are do-it-yourself kind of people. They've written several books that allow readers to tell their own autobiography, document their love for their significant other, or even memorialize their pet dogs.Like training guides on the weave polls, the Marshalls' books encourage readers to navigate the obstacle of self-journalism by staying on point, and making it from start to finish without going too far afield while not missing any of the important bits.It's no wonder then that the Marshalls are dog sport people (a very do-it-yourself crowd): Kate and her dog Misty run Agility and are keen observers of dog-people culture. In her recent blog post titled "Dog Sports: A Truly Cultural Divide," Kate makes some keen observations about the different priorities of the Second and Third Estates of the Border Collie:The difference between Obedience and Agility cultures pales in comparison to the divide between Conformation and Herding worlds, especially with border collie

I was flabbergasted today during a discussion in one of my teacher certification courses when the course instructor suggested...well, actually, the instructor flat out told this class of music education students that it was unwise and unrealistic to expect to be able to both perform and teach at a professional level. This instructor warned the students against pursuing a double major in performance and education, claiming that no one from the institution had ever successfully graduated from the program without dropping one of the two degrees (a fact about which I am extremely skeptical), and that it was impossible to put in the hours of practice required to be a successful music performance student while simultaneously doing school observations, instrumental methods classes, and education courses. Here were some reasons this individual outlined as to why being a music performance and music education double degree student was unwise. I'll give my own opinions regarding these stateme

Por un lado un puñado de madres y familiares de quienes han perdido la vida en la Cantuta y Barrios Altos, que por fin se ven victoriosos después de tantos años de lucha, y por otro un grupo de fanáticos fujimoristas que patalean según ellos sin violencia, pero con la firme convicción que darán hasta la vida para defender al Chino, salen a la escena coyuntural unos con lágrimas de alegría, otros de rabia.Esta situación no ha nacido por generación espontánea. Y es que los mismos mandamases fujimoristas ya han empezado -con sotanas y con franela- a alentar a los que ellos llaman PUEBLO a luchar por que el ex presidente "tenga un proceso justo". "Hago un llamado a todos los fujimoristas para que le den el escudo de respeto que se merece el ex mandatario, nosotros vamos a estar atentos para recibirlo como él se merece", dijo Keiko Fujimori, que según labios del propio ex prófugo japonés peruano, sería la próxima candidata a la Presidencia, claro, de no ser posible su post

It's been less than a decade since the Clinton impeachment (I didn't like him but the circus was a complete embarrassment and a waste of our time and tax dollars). Since that time we have stood as a nation politically divided and highly polarized. You either have to be a Conservative or a Liberal, Republican or Democrat.There can't be a happy medium. It's a bunch of crap and I am tired of it! Nothing in Washington is done for the good of the people or the nation. It's all party politics and politics as usual has thrown the concept of bi-partisanship out the window and into the garbage.It's time for a change and in the immortal words of Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come". It's time to rise up as one voice and demand a president who won't divide us any longer. Our future as a nation depends on it. Our enemies have already started gathering like vultures and hungry wolves at our doorstep because they can see our weakness since we are so very divided. We have brave men

I stand before you. Analyzed. Observed. Inspected. All you see is that I am not like you. You miss the nuances that are me. You cannot understand my talents, my opinions, or my gifts. Because you cannot see me as anything but not you. I do not even notice the difference at first. I see our commonality. I see the thing in our hearts that make us alike. But as you find me wanting, I see more. It is our attitudes that differ. You demand respect. I give it as your due. I ask for the same in return. You scoff. You have burned the bridge before you even thought to explore the other side. I would allow you. I would ignore your prejudice. But you harm all of us over here.

How do couples split up the household chores? Does she cook and clean while you drink beer? Do you handle all the finances while she just complains about not having any money?Although we really didn't have a defined chore list when we got married, we had been living together for 2 years prior so we had settled in to assigned chores based on our skill sets and - well - tolerance.Me: Cooking, household maintenance, vehicle maintenance, finances.Her: Cleaning dishes, organizing our social schedule, laundry, litterbox.This is the big category. We have many things that we just like doing together.Us: Cleaning the house (vacuuming/disinfecting/dusting/etc), lawn/gardening, basically everything else.How did you come up with your chore arrangement? Are you happy how things are, or do you feel you do more/less than your fair share?

Recently, Roy Keane (ex Manchester United player, current Sunderland FC manager and living legend) launched a tirade against certain footballers, who refuse to move to Sunderland because their wives want to live in London. “If they don’t want to come because their wife wants to go shopping in London, it’s a sad state of affairs.” Photo © Peadar O’Sullivan, used with permission Personally, I have to agree with him. Why would you choose to play for Watford, Crystal Palace, Luton, Millwall, or Charlton (teams in lower divisions) over Sunderland? I mean, they love their football up in Tyne and Wear, which is more than be said for the geographically illterate Prawn Sandwich Brigade that seem to occupy the stands in a number of London clubs*. But I really want to talk about the perceived North South divide. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really notice it on my frequent trips to London - not least to begin with. I mean, it didn’t seem that much more
