Tapper and are held on Fridays as part of the regular evening service. The series started Nov. 14 and continues through December.

The battle for the Jerusalem Municipality may be over (secular candidate Nir Barkat victorious over haredi rival Meir Porush or, in my view at least, a choice between dumb and dumber), but the struggle for the city’s environment is just beginning.

I was looking up something from Joseph Smith’s Lectures on Faith that he gave in 1835 and I came across Jerry Stokes’ website.  In his website he compares these lectures to the Word of Faith movement (which I’ve never heard of before) and says it is heretical.  I will have to agree with him that many [...]

President George Bush gave the Arab world a stern lecture which urged its leaders to adhere to principles of democracy. He told them “in recent years, we have seen hopeful beginnings toward this vision. Turkey– a nation with a majority Muslim population– is a prosperous modern demcoracy.

The media are almost universally giving it a negative spin, but President Bush’s speech to the World Economic Forum in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheik, with representatives from many Arab nations present, was pretty extraordinary.

SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt (AP) -- President Bush lectured the Arab world Sunday about everything from political repression to the denial of women's rights but ran into Palestinian complaints he is favoring Israel in stalled Mideast peace talks.

Ruth Fowler Clearly Ruth Fowler is in love with herself. Clearly she is in love with her body. She's an ex-stripper. Just take a peek at her website. Clearly she is in love with her own words. And clearly she loves being identified as a “Sociopathic Narcissist.” But without any of this we wouldn't be treated to this cranky opinion piece about armchair liberals who don't have the courage of their conviction to get off their butts and actually do something with their liberalism. The column meanders a bit and she seems to be a little confused about the true definition of “liberal,” but it's fun reading nonetheless.Club RulesBy Ruth Fowler For The GuardianA friend of mine said wistfully the other day: "Politically I'm on the left, but Tories are so much more fun to hang out with.

If you’re still interesting in attending the Introduction to Singapore lectures starting this Saturday, senior curator Cheryl-Ann Low sent me some extra info for the first session that she’ll be presenting.

On April Fool's Day, it was the fools who ruled the court--or rather, the House.The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held hearings and grilled oil company execs over the oil companies' 8-cent per gallon profits.They remained close-lipped over government's take of nearly 50-cents of taxes per gallon. Or, as the Wall Street Journal notes that "higher gasoline prices is exactly what would happen if Congress enacts proposed global warming policies".Three of the House's Select April Fools."On April Fool's Day, the biggest joke of all is being played on American families by Big Oil."Edward Markey (D-Mass)Chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global WarmingFierce opponent of drilling for oil in ANWAR.

- Scott Miller Obama’s speech today, was a transparent attempt to pander to white guilt.

Here's a rather interesting exchange between MSNBC's Tucker Carlson and British journalist Gerri Peev, the reporter with The Scotsman who quoted Barack Obama adviser Samantha Powers calling Hillary Clinton a “monster.” Carlson accuses Peev of deliberately quoting an off-the-record comment. But Peev reminds Carlson that off-the-record agreements are made before the tape recorder rolls, noting rather haughty, "Are you really that acquiescent in the United States?" Carlson responds: "Since journalistic standards in Great Britain are so much dramatically lower than they are here, it's a little much being lectured on journalistic ethics by a reporter from The Scotsman." “Really!” Peev replies. "If this is the first time that candid remarks have been published about what one campaign

I’ve been posting a lot regarding free computer programming classes and study materials on this blog. I put up a post regarding this topic whenever I found free materials online.

I had asked yesterday if anyone desired a specific entry. The first reply wanted me to discuss what a typical college lecture was like. So, I'll do my best to describe class fairly, without my bias interfering with the facts.Disclaimer: Every lecturer is a bit different in style and delivery, so this is what to generally expect.Classes fall under three different categories. The first is a lecture, the second is a discussion, and the third is a read-along.Lecture classes are typically the toughest for students. They require constant note taking and incessant attention. The lecturer bases his exams on the material presented in class, so if you miss a day try to get the materials from a classmate. A lecturer, using the blackboard, white board, or power point, presents and discusses the inform

In his article YouTube U. Andy Kessler suggests it’s the professors. Some highlights: Without much fanfare, college lectures are being put online, for free. MIT lectures can be downloaded from iTunes University, and you can watch Cal professors pontificate on your computer via YouTube. Is this some new trend? Do colleges feel threatened by Wikipedia? Something funny is going on. No one gives anything away for free without some ulterior motive. I mean, don’t they know college is big business? Right now, 17 million students are involved in higher education, some higher than others. As a business, college is growing faster than sales of multicolored Crocs. Since 1980, the population of students under 25 has grown 40 percent–and for those over 25, it’s up even more at 52 percent. Is this what your neighbors are doing during the day? Could be. Even better (for colleges, anyway), since 2002 tuition has jumped 35 percent in real terms (that’s adjusted for in

Brussels Journal - The “Human Rights Commission” of Saudi Arabia, a country where slavery was formally abolished as late as the 1960s and is still practiced more or less openly (it is allowed according to sharia law), now lectures Europeans on Islamophobia. Notice that this is not an isolated incident; it is part of a sustained, ongoing effort with the explicit goal of surrendering half a billion Europeans to Islam.Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) will urge its counterparts in the European Union to ask their governments not to link terrorism to Islam and also to issue regulations to protect Muslims from prejudice and discrimination because of their faith. The government-funded rights body will also address various human rights issues in Europe: when Muslims are unjustly interrogated, treated with disrespect, physically or mentally abused, or not allowed to practice their faith freely such as Muslim girls being prevented from wearing the hijab (head cover) in some scho

En ce moment, je lis... Oui ça m'arrive ! Je vous rassure, je ne lis pas de la littérature (pas en ce moment). Vu que je suis allé voir Elodie cette semaine sur Niort (le trou du cul du monde) et qu'elle n'avait pas encore internet, j'ai du m'équiper en bouquins. ;) Premier bouquin que je possède depuis un peu plus d'une semaine : CSS 2 Pratique du design web (2ème édition) par Raphaël Goetter. Raphaël Goetter, c'est le papa du site www.alsacreations.com. Je pense que tout webdesigner, webdeveloppeur doit connaître ce site. Le bouquin est très clair, tout comme le site. Sa lecture se fait sans obstacles, on apprend à manier les codes en douceur avec des exemples tout le long du livre et des petits tests pour savoir si vous avez bien retenu l'essentiel de chaque chapitre. Un livre que je conseille à toute personne qui souhaite coder proprement, apprendre un peu plus du CSS. Deuxième livre ou plutôt BD : Le Petit Spirou Tome 13, Fais de beaux rêves ! Je ne peux

President Robert Mugabe, who has driven his nation into utter economic ruin and bullied and tortured opponents, gave a fiery speech at the UN denouncing George Bush as a hypocrite. “His hands drip with innocent blood,” shouted the president of Zimbabwe, “of many nationalities. He kills in Iraq. He kills in Afghanistan. And he is supposed to be our master on human rights?” George Bush still doesn’t grasp how his failure to adhere to basic human rights and his boasting about violence do not lead people to regard him a a defender of individual rights. It is sad that America is being given a lecture on human rights by a notorious brute who has never been a supporter of such rights to fellow Zimbabweans.

Students in Hutchinson Kansas will be able to view classroom lectures on their iPods this coming school year.The high-tech lessons will be part of a new project in which teachers make their lectures available as podcasts.Using newly purchased digital video cameras, teachers can record what happens in class so students can later upload the material on their iPods and watch it again at their leisure......Teachers will start recording their lectures when the school year starts. The podcasts—digital media files that can be either audio or video—will cover reading and math material to correspond with No Child Left Behind education standards.The podcasts will be added to computers, televisions and the district's new 80-gigabyte iPods. In all, the equipment for the podcasts, including six computers, cost more than $25,000.The money came from a bond issue passed several years ago, school board member Jeff Nichols said. Each year, the district spends about $1 million to keep up with changi

On a parlé à plusieurs reprises durant la campagne électorale du seul gouvernement minoritaire de l’histoire du Québec depuis la confédération, celui de Henri Gustave Joly de Lotbinière (LIB) de 1878-1879. La Presse canadienne résume l’histoire ici. Antoine Robitaille du Devoir écrit sur le caractère imprévisible du scrutin de lundi à la lumière des diverses projections et prédictions parues cette fin de semaine. Mario Girard traite du même sujet dans La Presse. Toujours dans Le Devoir (accès réservé aux abonnés) le chroniqueur François Brousseau, devant la perspective d’un gouvernement québécois qui pourrait être élu par moins de 40% des voix, recense plusieurs situations au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde où un gouvernement a été élu par une telle marge. © QuébecPolitique.com, 2007 - visitez QuébecPolitique.com pour d'autres articles.

Wow! I just watched a lecture on Computer Algorithms from an MIT professor and it was HARDCORE! In the first hour of the first class he burned through bubble sort and merge sort like it was piece of cake! But it was 100 times better than the course I had at my college on the same subject! And now the top universities are making their courses freely available on the Internet!It also has a boatload of other courses ranging over a wide range of topics! Here are a few of the course titles: Biology, Buddhist Psychology, Organizational Leadership and Teamwork, Chemistry, Introduction to Computer systems, etc!Check it out at http://lecturefox.com/
