peak intensity over the western Caribbean. Hurricane Andrew of 1992 was a Category Five hurricane at peak intensity and was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever to hit Florida.
In the open ocean, the size of waves generated by a hurricane also depends on the force of the wind, the time that the wind has been blowing, and the condition of the sea (calm or stormy) prior to the arrival of the hurricane. However, hurricane-generated waves are different in one respect from ordinary wind waves—namely, the force producing the waves is moving in the same direction as the waves. For this reason the strength of hurricane-generated waves, especially in the long-period components, increases rapidly. Wind-generated waves do not always propagate in the direction of the wind.11
Waves produced by a hurricane depend on several factors, including the sustained wind speed, the pressure in the eye, the forward velocity of the center of the hurricane, and the radius of maximum wind speed—that is, how large the hurricane is. It also depends on the sea state before the hurricane—whether it was flat and calm, or whether a previous storm had already created waves that the hurricane could augment. Wave heights are not uniform across a hurricane; those on the right-hand side (when the storm is moving away from the observer) will be larger than those on the left-hand side, because they receive an added boost from the forward motion of the storm. Waves will begin to build when the eye of the storm approaches to within 90 to 100 miles.
Once formed, hurricanes generally turn to the north in the northern hemisphere and to the south in the southern hemisphere. This is called recurving. The track of tropical cyclones is due to the influence of the deep-layer mean flow in the lower and upper atmosphere. In the North Atlantic, the storms move in response to the large-scale flow around the Azores-Bermuda High in the lower atmosphere and also respond to traveling upper-level disturbances. They initially move westward on the southern side of the high, tending away from the equator. On the western side of the high, a hurricane starts following a

Offensive Needs: QB, RB, OL
For the one millionth time – is Jake Locker the guy at quarterback? No one can know for sure. All we know is that coach Whiz isn't 100% sold on Locker, and we can't blame him. Locker looked to be finally getting it at times last year, but once again had bouts with injuries, accuracy and overall inconsistency. He'll have to get healthy after sustaining a lisfranc injury, but if he can he should have a shot at competing for the starting gig one last time.
With that said, the new coaching staff owes Locker nothing and doesn't have to sit idly by and wait to see if he'll finally develop. That could mean a quarterback in the first round again this year. At the 11 spot, someone like Derek Carr could realistically be in play. The Titans could also opt to wait until Round 2-3, where guys like A.J. McCarron, Jimmy Garoppolo and Zach Mettenberger could readily be available. Mettenberger is the most enticing talent of that trio, however, and may not last as long as the second round.
The only other major question mark on offense appears to be at running back, where Chris Johnson's almost certain departure clears the way for *cough* Shonn Greene? Greene did put up back to back 1,000+ yard rushing seasons with the Jets, but is otherwise a plodder with minimal talent. He's not a feature back, and one way or another, the Titans need to make sure he's not all they've got at the position in 2014.
Instead of overpaying for guys like Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew in free agency, I like the Titans to stand pat with Greene as their goal-line and short-yardage man, while adding a change of pace back.
My two favorite backs in this draft are Tre Mason and Ka'Deem Carey. Mason appears to be the more complete of the two, but if Tennessee wants explosion, Carey is the guy. If the Titans want to wait a little longer than round two, Oregon's De-Anthony Thomas could be the perfect CJ?K replacement, in the third or possibly even the fourth round.
Beyond quarterback and running back, the Titans will also want to add some offensive line depth in general – specifically at tackle. There's a slight chance they aim at the future here and grab a guy like Michigan's Taylor Lewan with their first rounder, but I doubt it.
Tight end could be another position to look at, but the new coaching staff seems to like Delanie Walker and raw tight end Taylor Thompson has some upside worth developing.

The Wanted's Tom Parker tried to separate himself from his other British boy bandmates by going shirtless and drinking a beer on a friend's balcony in L.A. this weekend.
The 23-year-old wannabe bad boy is now officially the most wanted.
call PETA! because somebody plucked a pigeon and it could not have felt good for the bird. seriously this is sad
oh barf! now that's a face made for radio!
He needs to go back to the gym. Not exactly a "most wanted" candidate with that twink body.
Skinny little twig should put his shirt back on & hit the gym.
Too bad most of the group is gay. It's really a shame they "construct" these boy bands to attract teenage girls when they know before they ever put these groups together some of the members are gay. It's like fraud. You ever seen a teenager almost passing out over their teen heartthrob/crush? You know how devastating it is to find out they are gay? Stop fckn with kids' heads.
Appears to be drinking Bud Light, which is considered white trash in California.
Just another twig with his shirt off.....nothing special.
I think that with this story, TMZ has hit rock bottom.
Going shirtless and drinking beer makes you a bad boy? I guess I've been a bad boy since I was nine.
That looks like a male version of a butterface. A butthisface?
Somebody feed that boy or put a shirt on. He looks like a Holocaust victim.
There are a LOT of jealous guys on here tonight.
He is A 23
He is a 23 year old boy/man. He looks great!

A lorry carrying cans of soft drink burst into flames on a busy motorway, leaving thousands of drivers caught up in rush hour tailbacks.
A section of the M6 motorway remains closed after the Eddie Stobart truck caught fire at junction 9, north of Birmingham, at around 3.15pm this afternoon.
The lorry is understood to have been filled with thousands of cans of cola and other soft drinks which began 'exploding' as a result of the blaze, the Highways Agency said.
Dramatic: The Eddie Stobart lorry burst into flames on the M6 motorway between Junctions 7 and 9, near Birmingham
The dramatic scene was captured on camera by John Trifonos, whose photographs show the lorry can and wheels flaming.
'You could literally see the plume of smoke for miles,' he said.
'I slowed down to take the photo but the heat from the fire was that intense I couldn't pause for long.
'I've never felt heat like it - it was like a furnace. Immense but very frightening.
'You could also hear popping and crackling sounds as the fire consumed the lorry,' Mr Trifonos said.
Flames: The lorry was carrying thousands of cans of cola and other soft drinks that began to 'explode' as a result of the fire, the Highways Agency said
Disruption: The plume of smoke emerging from the flaming lorry was 'visible for miles', one motorist said
Eddie Stobart spokesman Glenn Patterson said the lorry had been carrying palettes loaded with cans of a variety of soft drinks.
Mr Patterson said the cause of the incident was still under investigation, but it is suspected to have been the result of a technical fault inside one of the lorry's wheels.
Nobody was injured in the blaze, West Midlands Police said.
The Highways Agency said the motorway was closed northbound between junctions 7 and 10, as was the link from the M5 north to the M6 at junction 8, and added that delays were expected until well after the evening rush hour.
The closures were causing delays of around one hour.
A spokeswoman said: 'It happened at around 3.15pm. At the minute there are closures from junction 7 to 10 of the M6 on the northbound carriageway, and we are advising motorists to find alternative routes where possible.
'We are not expecting it to be cleared up until the early evening,' she added.
Chris Caine, operations manager at the Highways Agency, said: 'We are working closely with the fire service to clear the incident as soon as possible.
'We have reopened the majority of the motorway between junctions 7 and 10 but two lanes remain closed past the scene.
'We will have to examine the carriageway and determine what repairs are needed before we can fully re-open the road.'
The Environment Agency also attended the scene today, where liquid from the lorry began seeping into the drainage system.

Restoring hidden apps to the list in the Mac App Store
Nice, but does anyone know how to completely delete apps from the devices sync-setup lists? I have excessive clutter because I've downloaded (OK, "purchased" -- but for free) apps only to find that they are crap and so I'll never use them and just want them to "go away." However, even 'though they're hidden in the app store, they persist in the sync-setup lists for the iDevices upon which they were installed and later removed.
Restoring hidden apps to the list in the Mac App Store
Coincidentally, 'cause of something else I was doing, I found the (somewhat obvious) solution -- select the "Apps" section in iTunes (i.e., on the left sidebar) and you can delete the entries. Du-oh!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Repeat returners, listen up.
Retailers are cracking down on practices that are costing them money -- a cost that is essentially passed along to the customer.
A recent survey by Retail-Me-Not reveals that 42 percent of consumers will return some of the gifts they received this year. Nearly $3.5 billion dollars in merchandise is expected to be returned -- that is a third of the $9 billion in returns expected all year long.
The National Retail Federation says only 28 percent of stores will actually have a special holiday return policy. The rest will stick with their more stringent policies. Nearly 60 percent of stores used to change things for the holidays.
Be sure to check your receipt for the store policies sooner rather than later.
When you head to the store, expect to give more personal information when you make returns this holiday season.
Some retailers are ready to start tracking repeat offenders.

It takes myriad types of characters, if you will, to keep a company balanced, forward-thinking and motivated. Magnus leaders are some of the most respected and accomplished performers in the industry. But that's not all it takes to create a positive environment of innovation, loyalty and prosperity.
Whether it's the long-term partnerships we've formed within the Magnus companies or the close affiliations we've developed in the field, we're family business-minded when it comes to culture and big-business visionaries when it comes to creating natural, renewable products that we make in the USA. Above all, we're all driven by integrity. That's a Magnus expectation, not exception. We're not afraid to have fun and a sense of humor either. All in all, these principles help us do good for people and the planet.

She has her master's degree in chemistry from the University of South Florida.
Tom has held key chemical engineering positions at Hardy Animal Nutrition since 2009. Before joining the company full time as product specialist, Tom interned for HAN for three consecutive summers while pursuing his Bachelor of Science degree from Miami University in Ohio.
He was instrumental in the design and implementation of the company's original prill tower, which in 2010 made Hardy the first full-service U.S. manufacturer, packager and distributor of natural animal feed ingredients for the cattle, poultry, swine and equine industries.
Tom was also integral in the research, development and construction management phases of HAN's new, $20-million-dollar prill facility, which is our largest and most significant undertaking to date. There are only two similar operations nationwide, neither of which features all of HAN's capabilities in natural products formulation.
Tom employs cost savings analysis, system optimization, project management and R&D skills to help advance HAN's leadership role as producer of natural animal nutrition for some of the world's largest food companies. He is also head engineer on the start-up of our glycerin refinery.

18,000 pieces of plastic are estimated to float in every square kilometre of ocean.
276 species worldwide including 77 Australian species are impacted by marine debris.
Tangaroa Blue Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation focused on the health of our marine environment, and coordinates the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, an on-ground network of volunteers, communities, organisations and agencies around the country monitoring the impacts of marine debris along their stretch of coastline.
In Maori and Polynesian mythology, Tangaroa is one of the great gods, the god of the ocean. He is the son of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, Sky and Earth. Tangaroa is the father of many sea creatures and his breaths are the tides. Tangaroa made laws to protect the ocean and its sea creatures "Tiaki mai i ahau, maku ano koe e tiaki"... If you look after me, then I will look after you..."
The organisation was named Tangaroa Blue Foundation to highlight the importance of protecting our oceans and creating programs and resources to help communities look after their local coastal environment.
On October 18, Tangaroa Blue Foundation held a fabulous party, with a spectacular lightning show as a backdrop, to celebrate 10 years of working hard to stop the flow of rubbish into the marine environment.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over these 10 years, many of whom helped us celebrate on Saturday night. A guest list of true diversity, representatives from Sea Shepherd Foundation; Ocean Watch; Keep Australia Beautiful Council; Surfrider Foundation; The Department of Defence; Coastwest; WA NRM and local government representatives as well as some of our fantastic volunteers from the community who regularly clean up our beaches and send in those vital data sheets, spent the evening networking and celebrating.
Thank you also to the wonderful artists who donated their work for our silent auction – Sandra McKendrick of Sandpiper Productions; Christian Fletcher Photo Images; Jenny Edmondson; Julie Remp; Kathleen Crabill from Nurdle in the Rough and Jamie Thompson from Beachbox Garbage. And also the artists who lent their work for display: Paula Green; Renee Mouritz from Plastic is Forever; Michelle Gabelich; Greg Adams & Sue Ryan from Ghost Net Art Project and Julianne McCarthy for the gorgeous ghost net dress.
We would also like to thank the following sponsors who helped make our event a success:
Little Creatures Brewery; Madfish Wines; Phoenix Organic Soft Drinks; Amanzi Guesthouse. And thank you to Ben and Ben from Eat No Evil for providing great locally based food.
The Brisbane Waters Foreshore Program - Clean4shore - joined forces with the Gosford City Council for another clean-up at Erina Bay on Pelican Island in NSW's Brisbane Waters on October 22nd.
The volunteer team from North Gosford Learning Centre, along with program coordinator Graham Johnston and local oyster grower Simon Funnel worked on removing litter from the mangroves adjacent to the Central Coast Highway at the Punt Bridge.
A good tidal water level got Simon's barge into Erina Bay, allowing the clean-up work on the mangroves close to the Central Coast Highway to begin. Plenty of litter was quickly collected with 12 large bags loaded with many plastic and glass bottles, plastic bags, all sorts of rubber and plastic items, and close to 80 tennis balls!
2014 is the 10th Anniversary of the West Australian Beach Clean Up and you're invited to join in this year's fun! Taking place over the weekend of October 11th & 12th, volunteers can register a beach or riverway anywhere in Western Australia for a clean-up event.
Last year more than 1500 volunteers cleaned 310km of coastline and removed over 5.3 tonnes of debris - let's see if we can beat it this year!
All clean-up materials will be provided, all you need to do is bring along some friends and make a day of it!
A huge thanks goes to Coastwest, Keep Australia Beautiful Council WA, Department of Fisheries, Department of Parks and Wildlife, all the Local Government Agencies, supporters and volunteers for their support!
More than 150,000,000 pieces of rubbish are strewn upon Australia's beaches, big news considering more than 80% of Australians live within 100km of the coast. Alarmed by this overwhelming statistic, Phoenix Organics has joined forces with Tangaroa Blue Foundation and Sustainable Coastlines to create The Love Project. This project aims to empower Aussies to vote and help clean up and protect our much-loved coastlines.
Australians can visit Phoenix's Facebook page to vote for the beach they love the most and would like to keep clean. The Phoenix Love Project has contributed $40,000 to Sustainable Coastlines and Tangaroa Blue Foundation to complete beach cleanup projects over the summer months.
Since 2004 Tangaroa Blue volunteers and partners have been hard at work cleaning our beaches!

Please! Slow cooker receipe? You spend nearly as much time getting this together as you do in the slow cooker. And you could get the same effect on the stovetop.
This was great! Easy and tasty. I used penne pasta and a 5 blend shredded cheese mix and two cans of diced tomatoes, one with mild green chilies and one just tomatoes. I also added some garlic and minced onions while cooking the chicken. My Daughter and my boyfriend loved it, will definitely make again trying other pastas! Can't wait for leftovers for lunch today! Thanks for the recipe!
I liked this recipe, and so did my family. Some thought it was too spicy, so the next time I tried it, I just used a can of tomatoes, but it wasn't as good. I say leave the recipe as is!

- in love, every moment is picture perfect
Hi dear,
For girls as long as there's love they can live, but for guys if there's nothing tangible to roof and secure this love then they can't live. Maybe this is why he's postponing the marriage idea since he has no financial background to guarantee a future together yet.
We love them so we want the best for them. You could be scared that once he leaves for another city and find better job opportunities, the "outside temptations" will be strong as well. However, the best way to defend your love is by continue to support him and provide your love for him, while at the same time focusing on perusing your own future and career after graduation. Man are warriors but no one likes to fight on the battle alone.
Love is like sand, the tighter your grip the faster it will slip through your fingers. But if you choose to think from a different perspective and use different method (eg. using a container to hold), then you won't worry about losing any of your precious.
Hi dear,
You know that feeling of something you can't have so you think it must be extraordinary? I suspect that's how your girlfriend is feeling towards her ex right now.
When we break up, the best way to move on is to not behave in the same habit that we used to with our ex, it can make us fall into the delusion that we are still with them or some day we can get back together again. This is exactly what your girlfriend is doing and it's very unfair to you. Especially when it comes down to such a symbolic gift like a ring, it's crossing the line.
Sometimes it's ok to overlook things in relationship, but sometimes it's not. And your #1 priority now is to let her know that she's crossing your bottom line and you are definitely not ok with it. Ask her to imagine all her actions, but it's you doing them to your ex, would she be ok with it?
Once your view is clear to her, let her have a final closure with her ex. Maybe she's still hurt and not over him, but she needs to realize her issues and decide whether she is ready to have a clean farewell with her past and begin her future with you. If not, then you need to back down a bit and probably leave her for a while for her to recollect herself.
When the book of the past is not fully closed yet, a brand new chapter can never begin.
- literally what's going on right in front of my eyes now, lol
Hi dear,
Usually people tend to think love/sex is a combo thing that can't stand alone without each other, but it also depend on which stage of your life this whole thing is happening.
If you are still in junior high/high school, then slow it down and enjoy building up the brain chemistry before rushing fully into physical action. You will never be as pure as you are right now at this age of innocence, so why compare your relationship progress to adult's standard?
Of course when both of you are ready, then sexual activity is not just something physical, but also a communication of your souls and can help to bring the connection you guys share to a whole new level.
Sex is not a crime when the age and mindset are right, it's part of our human instinct. But what differentiates us from animals is that we understand our partner and respect them with love. So whatever beliefs you hold, as long as you explain it well to your boyfriend and he loves you truly, he would be willing to wait for you when you are ready.
- lol
- be brave and let someone in
Hi dear,
This is something we can all relate if we had an ex that's broken up in a fairly mutual way.
That feeling you have, some part of you is missing, is a natural instinct. You can be emotionally fine with the closure you've got, but all the time you have invested in and memories you have shared, are in a way, put up in a "hidden box" deep down in your heart. It's not that they are wound that need to be left alone and healed, just that we need to forget in order to start fresh.
So in a way, you are exactly right. A part of you is missing. And especially when he was the first guy you have dated, he would have occupied a significant amount of space in your "love life". It's something you have to deal with until this vacancy is taken up by someone else.
Mean while when you are still waiting, try to rekindle with your friends that you might have neglected for a while, pick up your old hobby that enjoy doing on your own, and just be patient with this "break up transition phase". After all, it's an essential part of self-growth for everyone.
- be my first glimpse of sunshine
Hi dear,
I know when we like someone and are in love, we want the whole world to know about it and want our partner to get on to the same pace as we do.
However, it's very important to realize that not pushing it too much sometimes is the best way to allow something move faster. Is like when we had been physically injured, it does take a while before we are confident that we can perform the same physical activity again. But if rushed prematurely, we might be too scared and just give up the thought of getting better, or injure ourselves again.
He obviously needs more time to trust himself, you, and love again. And by the current status you've described, the hardest first step has been already made! Just continue to care and support him, when he feels that the moment is right, then everything will fall into places again.

Scarlett Johansson Dating Nate Naylor, NYC Ad Execby Free Britney at . Comments
Scarlett Johansson's rep has brushed off recent rumors that she's dating Kieran Culkin or Justin Bartha, but it looks like she really is romancing somebody new.
The recently-divorced We Bought a Zoo actress, 27, is seeing an New York City-based advertising executive named Nate Naylor, a friend of the pair confirms.
"They've been dating for five months," the source adds.
You can see a photo of the two of them together here.
The actress's rep had no comment this time, but recent Scarlett Johansson photos show the happy couple strolling the Big Apple streets, holding hands.
Meanwhile, the home that Johansson and ex-husband Ryan Reynolds shared before they split up a little more than a year ago, is back on the market.
She dated Sean Penn for a few months after the split, while Ryan and Blake Lively have become a couple of late. An attractive one, it's worth noting.
[Photo: WENN.com]
Her face always looks bloated, I don't see the beauty that others do. Her lips, nose and cheeks are so puffy. I also feel bad that when stars divorce the media can never seem to move on from their ex's even though the two people in the failed marriage can.

|The Future of Food and Seed
What should be the right dynamic between farmers and consumers in maintaining agricultural diversity, self-reliance, and food grown with locally-sourced seeds? A sixty minute video presentation by Dr. Vandana Shiva.
27th August 2009 - Vandana Shiva
Since earning her Ph.D. in quantum physics, Dr. Shiva has spent over 30 years strengthening communities around the world to achieve local food security. She pioneered the contemporary organic movement in India and established Navdanya, India's largest network of seed keepers and organic producers. In 2003, Time magazine named her an environmental hero; Asia Week called her one of Asia's five most powerful communicators. She has received the Right Livelihood Award (Alternative Nobel Prize), Order of the Golden Ark, Global 500 Award of the UN, Earth Day International Award, and the Lennon Ono Grant for Peace, among others. Her books include Soil Not Oil, Earth Democracy, Water Wars, Stolen Harvest, Biopiracy, and Staying Alive. In 'The Future of Food and Seed', Dr. Shiva discusses the dynamics between farmers and consumers in maintaining agricultural diversity, self-reliance, and food grown with locally-sourced seeds. These seeds and their growers are the most reliable resources for community food security.

What makes a kid in Boston geaux for a team so far from - 01.09.12 - SI Vault
To all you LSU fans, I present… my dad.
At some point, in the midst of my mother driving us around Newark at 1 am this past Saturday night/Sunday morning, she got out of the car at an all-night gas station to ask for directions. Sitting alone in the car, I yelped, "I just want to go home!" out of exhaustion and general whininess.
Then I was frustratingly assaulted by a memory of a night Ryan and I spent together. We went to see a movie, and as we were walking out, I happened to ask if he'd gotten a digital converter box, as the DTV conversion was still scheduled for February.
"No, do I need one?"
"You'll need one in a few months."
"Where would I get one?"
"I don't know. Target? Wal-Mart?"
"Let's go get one now."
It was 11 o'clock at night at this point and I said as much. In truth, I had just gotten back from vacation a day before and I was exhausted. I just wanted to get in bed and perhaps have some diversions there and then fall asleep. Instead, he decided it was the perfect opportunity to visit an all-night Wal-Mart located somewhere in the general vicinity to get one. We drove for a while and I whined that I thought he had gotten us lost, and that if he hadn't, we might as well head home as it was nearing midnight and it was freezing and his bed was warm.
"You want to give up?" It was a question he seemed to ask me a lot. I guess it was a challenge. He'd posed it to me several times over the previous few months, and two weeks later would be telling me that I gave up too quickly. I usually met the challenge, but that night I would have preferred to freeze in his little house next to the church, in his bedroom designed and painted by another girl, with her left-behind dog flopped opposite the headboard, buried in clothes.
We found that Atlantis of a Wal-Mart, got his digital converter box, and drove the twenty minutes back to his place. When we had to pay the toll, he and the teller did some amiable joking and Ryan drove away laughing. "Hahaha asshole…!" He dragged out the word. "Why is he an asshole?" I asked. "I don't know, he just is."
I guess that was when I started to get an inkling that this was not a very nice person and god only knows what he really thought about me. Later he would tell me that he always got the impression that I looked down on him, that I made everything he said sound crazy. "But it wascrazy!" I typed back in disgust when, during our AIM breakup, he revisited the idea of my dad owning a Dunkin' Donuts franchise if he were to be laid off. I had resisted saying it when we had the argument in the first place because I thought it would make me sound elitist, but I also resisted saying it because I wasn't totally sure he wasn't kidding and I didn't want to be that idiot who had fallen for such an obvious joke.
Except it wasn't a joke, apparently. After I proclaimed it "insane" to think that my father would switch from high-end journalism to owning a Dunkin' Donuts franchise, Ryan said, "It's like that night I wanted to go to Wal-Mart and you made me feel like an crazy jerk."
Honestly, it was before I knew that he was, in fact, crazy, though I was becoming pretty clear on the jerk part.
But I guess back to the night itself. We got back to his house and installed the converter box which worked the way I guessed that it was supposed to. Surrounded by the streams coming out of the multiple high-power space heaters, I rested my head in his lap and he stroked my hair and then grabbed my hand and we did, in fact, more than enjoy his warm bed because we were never better together than when we didn't have to talk.
We fell asleep with the lights and NPR on around 2 and when we woke up something like 6 hours later, he apologized for leaving the lights on and rubbed his thumb across my cheek. And yeah, we did what we did again with NPR and the lights still on and the freezing November sun streaming in through the windows, bursting into laughter mid-coitus when the musician being interviewed said something like, "And then I got her pregnant."
He drove me home in his falling-apart car after stopping for some anti-freeze. He kissed me as I got out of the car and there was something desperate in it for reasons still unclear to me. In my head though, all I could think was I just want to go home, just as I did on this much warmer March night in Newark, all these months later, having just returned from another vacation.
It was so much less complicated this time.

In 1988 Allyn and Bacon published Suter and Lindgren's Experimentation in Psychology: A Guided Tour, and in 1998 Allyn & Bacon published Suter's Primer of Educational Research. A sabbatical during the academic year 2003-2004 enabled the completion of Suter's Introduction to Educational Research: A Critical Thinking Approach (2006) published by Sage Publications and linked to a Web-based Student Study Site ( www.sagepub.com/eic). Dr. Suter has also published journal articles in the area of measurement, statistics, learning, and the teaching of psychology.
Dr. Suter quickly recognized the instructional value of the Web, and with the help of students with imaginative spirits and strong technology skills, he began offering 100% online courses in the fall of 1997, ones aligned with a constructivist philosophy and a distance-oriented cognitive apprenticeship based on activity and discovery. He teaches courses in research, statistics, and educational psychology using his SWEET model of Web-based instruction (http://www.profsuter.net/ ).

Gilad Shalit: Why Now?
As I said at the end of my last post, I was with a group of Israeli social justice protesters when the shocking news broke of Gilad Shalit's imminent release after five years in captivity. Shalit, captured by Hamas in July 2006 when he was just 19 years-old, has effectively acted as a bargaining chip between Hamas, the militant Islamist party in control of Gaza, and the Israeli government.
The deal to secure Shalit's release, brokered by Egypt, involved Israel's release of 1027 Palestinian prisoners. Given the seeming lopsidedness of the swap, many are saying that Israel's willingness to make the deal show how much it values human life, presumably while the Palestinians do not. In an article probably more adequately reflecting the truth, Rachel Shabi wrote in Al Jazeera that the 1000:1 ratio highlights the asymmetric nature of a conflict that has seen over 700,000 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel since 1967. Many here in Israel have objected to how Shalit was treated while imprisoned in Gaza. While Shalit was certainly held under poor conditions in Gaza, the common conception in the West that Israel treats its prisoners in accordance with all international standards and with the benevolence of an advanced liberal democracy is most certainly wrong. According to Amnesty International, Palestinians are frequently held without charges or trial, when tried are tried in military courts, and in many cases cannot speak with their families (a criticism often leveled at Hamas' treatment of Shalit). Israel also holds minors in prisons and "consistent allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, including of children, were frequently reported."
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners are entering the 19th day of a hunger strike to fight for more rights and better incarceration conditions.
This brings me back to Shalit. The deal that ended up being accepted by both sides is not much different than the deal that was on the table 64 months ago when negotiations over Shalit's release began. The ratio was always going to be this skewed. Negotiations broke down over the proposed release of key prisoners, most notably Marwan Barghouti, who is seen as a potential successor to Mahmoud Abbas and is serving five life sentences. Since the two sides were bargaining over a few names to include or not include on the list, and Israel would always get Shalit back and Hamas would always get their 1000 prisoners, what took so long?
Both sides needed a sense of urgency. Mahmoud Abbas' bid for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations gave Hamas and Prime Minister Netanyahu just that. Both rivals of Abbas, Hamas and Netanyahu have had a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" moment. Both opposed Palestinian statehood at the UN. Both sought to upstage Abbas.
For Hamas, Shalit was their biggest bargaining chip, and they were waiting for the optimal time to cash in. In an article in Ha'aretz, Hamas' motivation to score points and gain legitimacy as a more popular representative of the Palestinian people was exemplified by a Hamas official saying that "Abbas 'negotiated with Israel for a million years and hasn't achieved a deal like this one.'"
For Netanyahu, in addition to dealing a blow to Abbas, there were more macroscopic reasons for the timing of the deal. The Arab Spring has left Israel increasingly isolated, especially since the breakdown in diplomatic relations in Turkey and the storming of the Israeli embassy in Cairo last month. Up to this point, Israeli leadership has refused to acknowledge their vulnerability or show an inclination to change course and try to craft a more favorable status quo for themselves by making concessions to the Palestinians, most notably on settlement construction. In his statement about Shalit's release, Netanyahu finally accepted that the developments in Israel's region should shape it's actions:
"I believe that we have reached the best deal we could have at this time, when storms are sweeping the Middle East. I do not know if in the near future we would have been able to reach a better deal or any deal at all. It is very possible that this window of opportunity that opened because of the circumstances would close indefinitely and we would never have been able to bring Gilad home at all."
Even for the Egyptian government, which brokered the deal, the need for a PR victory was staggering. The deal has already improved Israel's relationship with the military government in Cairo, while the SCAF can also claim a more populist connection to Hamas.
Of course, far-right Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman rejected the deal.
While there are skeptics on both sides about the deal that was struck, for the most part, this is a rare joyous moment in Israeli-Palestinian affairs. Not only is Gilad Shalit finally being returned to his family, but a thousand Palestinians are welcoming home their own sons and daughters, not all of whom are "terrorists" and "murders." It's encouraging that both Hamas and Netanyahu have shown a willingness to compromise, and for the latter, it's important that he showed a realization of Israel's regional vulnerability. However, the fact that it took 64 months for the deal to be completed is rather inauspicious, leaving one wondering how long negotiations for two states will reasonably take.

DVD Discovery: Monsters
Don't let the generic title of Monsters fool you — it's really a pretty unique film.
