Yesterday, during a random dinner table conversation, the question that was put to me was what do you think your purpose in life is? Ah, the fundamental question we all grapple and often ignore. Without getting too meta-physical about it, I think there is a very simple practical answer to the question. And it is simply – doing what one does to the best of one's abilities.
I see so many people go through the best years of their lives simply watching the clock. They go to office in the morning, put in the requisite 8 hours and come back in the evening. Same routine repeats day in and day out. But what each one of us needs to realize is that we've only got a limited amount of time. When you're 25, you think the entire world is ahead of you and life is limitless. But as Yudhishthira says in the Mahabharata, "the cauldron of time cooks everyone". And that is a universal truth.
So given that you've got only a limited amount of time, let's take that argument further. Let's say you've only got a year to go, before your time is up. Would you now bring the same attitude to work and life that you have right now? Or would you change it drastically? If the answer is that you would change it drastically, then my friend the answer to life's fundamental question is right in front of your eyes and you're choosing to ignore it.
When we work for organizations who we think pay us less, or a boss who doesn't understand us, or an environment which is suffocating, we all have a few choices. And the choice is to simply leave that situation and choose another one. Or to try and change the situation. But, there is a third choice: while we're in that specific situation, life demands from us that we give it our very best. And that is what life is really all about. If you don't like your job, change it – but while you're working, give it everything you've got. Or else you're shortchanging the most important person in the world - you!
If you think your company is short-changing you – think again. Or rather trust greater thinkers to guide you. As Krishna says to Arjuna in the Gita – do your duty because that is what you've come on Earth for. Do not think of the fruits of your actions. To give it a more practical twist – I say, do not work simply for the fruits of your labor. Do it for your love of the work itself – do it because it is your bounden duty to do so.
Or else, you're actually waking up every day and cheating yourself. Every hour and every minute of work that you're whiling away your time, taking long breaks, chatting, social networking, or not giving your profession your best effort and dedicated focus is a minute that is completely lost, and the biggest loser in this case is you – not your organization, not your team – but you! Because the company will keep going on or shut down – but the best years of your life won't come back ever.
So go change your job if you're not happy. But stop cribbing and complaining and cheating yourself out of the only life you'll ever have.

I'm Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {email@example.com}
I'm using this medium to alert all loan seekers because of the hell I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent lenders.
Thanks you Dr Purva Pius Loan service for your help.

This I Believe
Shelley Long once said, "If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win." I believe that if you start something and you say you are going to do it, then you need to stick with it to the end. You should never quit in the middle.
My grade does not have very many people who like to play basketball. They are always complaining about the coach and how hard our practices are. When we played Delta at home we got smoked. The score was forty-four to fourteen. When we were done with the game one of our coaches told us that we need to work harder in practice. Everybody was terrified that we were going to have such a hard practice.
After school the next day some of the girls were talking and decided that they did not want to go to practice and were going to go to the Boy's basketball game instead. They said that they didn't want to go because they thought it was going to be hard. One of the girls said she didn't want to go because she got yelled at. They asked me not to tell and then called their parents to call in and tell Mrs. Pyper that they were going down to Salt lake for a church activity.
When I got to practice I went and told one of my teammates and together we decided to tell our coach what was going on. When she found out she was so mad. When our one coach got there they talked and he went down to the middle school to go and check things out. The next day everybody was talking about it. When we got to practice we had a team meeting with the girls who went to practice. We decided what their punishment was and told them. They were not happy at all about it.
While they were thinking about doing it they did not think about the consequences. They did not realize that they were hurting their team and letting them down. They also missed out on a really good practice. We worked really hard, and went over offensive and defensive plays. We also scrimmaged with the eighth graders so that we could get a good feel for how it would be like in a game.
I was always taught that if I say i am going to do something then I need to stick with it to the end no matter what. I believe that if we commit ourselves to everything we do we will have opportunities to grow and develop into a better person. We will always have other people trust us that we will always be there if they need us.

As part of their on-going E3 unveilings, Lucasarts officially confirmed what many suspected for a long time: Star Wars: Obi-Wan is coming to the Xbox.
The game originally began life as a PC title and was to be a successor to the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series if only in spirit. Last year, Lucasarts canned the PC title in favor of a to be announced next generation console.
In this Episode I-based game, you play as Obi-Wan Kenobi (duh) in an adventure that takes you from the sandy streets of Tatooine, all the way to the busy cityscapes of Coruscant as he hunts down new assassin droids. Old Ben (or is that Young Ben now?) will be able to use all of his Padawan Force Powers to defend himself against numerous foes, including the Sith Lord Darth Maul.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan is definitely going to be one of the most-watched Xbox titles. Expect a wealth of new information on the game from E3, but for now enjoy previous PC screens of the game below.

J-K: Militant, jawan killed in separate encounters
A militant and a securityman were killed in two separate encounters in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district on Tuesday.india Updated: Aug 26, 2014 17:58 IST
A militant and a securityman were killed in two separate encounters in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district on Monday.
"A militant was killed in Kunda Nar area of Keran Sector along the Line of Control and one soldier was injured at Baran Gali, Lolab, who later succumbed to his injuries," said an army spokesperson based in Srinagar.
The fresh encounters are the latest addition to the series of gunfights between infiltrators and the army in the state this month. Five militants and three soldiers have been killed since Saturday. Besides, J-K is also on the boil over ceasefire violations from across the border.
According to the army, body of the slain militant along with an AK-47 rifle has been recovered. His identity is yet to be ascertained. The operation is still in progress.
During the army's search operations at Kunda Nar of Keran Sector, terrorists hiding in the area opened fire on securitymen. The area was cordoned and the terrorists were effectively engaged.
"The Rashtriya Rifles unit operating at Baron Gali, Lolab, established contact with the terrorists on 25 August. The terrorists were engaged and during the exchange of fire between army troops and the terrorist, Rastriya Rifle soldier Lance Naik Dhananjay Kumar was critically injured," the army said.
The soldier succumbed to his injuries later. The operations are still in progress. The Northern Army Commander Lt Gen DS Hooda commended the troops for the sustained operations.

Former Valparaiso University men's basketball head coach Dr. Homer Drew was honored Wednesday night with the Gary Old Timers Lifetime Achievement Award at the 66th Annual Gary Old Timers Athletic Association banquet at the Avalon Manor in Hobart.
Drew closed his 22-year tenure as head coach with the Crusaders with 371 career victories and led Valparaiso to nine postseason appearances over his final 16 seasons. Drew ended his career, which also included stints at Bethel [Ind.] (1976-1987) and IU-South Bend (1987-1988), with 640 career victories over 34 seasons overall, a number which ranks him 28th overall among coaches with at least ten years of NCAA Division I coaching experience. The nine postseason appearances include seven trips to the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by the Crusaders' run to the Sweet Sixteen in 1998.
Already a member of the Valparaiso University Hall of Fame as part of the 1997-1998 squad and one of the 150 most influential people in Valparaiso University history, Drew received the Lifetime Achievement honor from the Gary Old Timers Wednesday, annually presented to a figure who has had meaningful impact on the athletics community in Northwest Indiana. Previous recipients of the award have included former Gary Roosevelt baseball head coach Benny Dorsey and Ken Haupt, who led the Merrillville football team to a state championship in 1976.
Former Chicago Bears safety Doug Plank served as the event's principal speaker on Wednesday evening.

Engaging the debate!
Dear WND readers,
I'm not sure how many letters total I received in response to my first and second columns, but I can tell you there were hundreds. Now for the big surprise – almost no negatives! You heard right: The response to my charging American families to immediately remove their kids from the government school system in order to homeschool was met with nearly universal approbation!
WorldNetDaily readers, once again, pleasantly surprised me with their thoughtful, open-minded and kind remarks. You'll get to read some of them below. I am going to publish your responses along with my comments every Saturday. While I will not be able to always respond to every e-mail personally, I will be reading all letters. The letters I publish will be in part, rather than whole. I hope you find this "debate" aspect of my column rewarding. Let me know.
P.S. Because of the overwhelming response to the first two articles, I was unprepared to publish all the letters. I will attempt to do so in the next week. I want you to know how much I value your contribution to this debate. Keep those letters coming!
Don't focus on religion
… That praise having been said, I must take exception with the direction you are taking this argument against government schools. I appreciate the fact that you are a deeply religious person, and clearly the lack of religious teaching in the classroom is a major strike against the government schools, but focusing on religious or moral teaching will likely turn off more readers than you may want. Among your readers there are atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Christians of all sects, etc., and for the most part they are addressing the issue of moral education at home or at their place of worship with little concern that the government schools are not doing it for them. In fact, for many the fact that the schools don't attempt to is a plus. Even for those to whom religious education is critically important, the argument that government can't teach because government can't teach about immorality will no doubt do little to convince them that the kind of sacrifice they must make is important.
This is too important a subject to offend people on. You are already rubbing them the wrong way in suggesting that the choice they are making for their kids is the wrong one. Don't cloud the issue by making religion the focus of your argument. I personally have never left religion out of the argument, but as I am sure that my religious beliefs are not widely shared, I prefer instead to emphasize the fact that home-education can be personalized to meet the needs and wishes of the family (whatever those be).
Overcoming the inherent financial issues, overcoming the fear of being an inadequate teacher, overcoming the fear of having to be with your kids for that long, overcoming the fear that your kids already don't listen to you, overcoming the fear of what the neighbors will think, overcoming the fear of your child's loss of friends, and all those related issues are what parents need to hear about in your discussions. These are pragmatic issues. They require pragmatic solutions and suggestions. Arguments about the immorality of government schools don't get the bills paid, and they are only likely to further alienate the folks who need the help the most.
Thanks for reading my suggestions. I look forward to reading more in your series.
David Sarosi
Dear Mr. Sarosi – I agree that there are many reasons – perhaps hundreds of reasons to outlaw government-controlled education. I will be addressing them all over the coming weeks (months, years?). However, I begin with the immorality of government-controlled education because that is the foundation of all "things."
All human endeavor is religious at its foundation. Education is not exempt.
I believe you miss my point. I don't care if the schools offer a religion class. I don't care if they "allow" prayer. Math, science, history, music, art, grammar are all influenced profoundly by the worldview of the "teacher." The state's worldview should not be taught to anyone but government employees – certainly not children.
Regarding "the issue of moral education." You say parents address that "at home or at their place of worship with little concern that the government schools are not doing it for them." Moral education cannot be taught in an hour on Saturday or Sunday. The evidence is all around us! Parents who do not understand this contribute to the degradation of our society.
I do agree that customized teaching is far better than homogenized institutionalized education. And yes, we will address the practical aspects of homeschooling as you suggest.
By the way, regarding your comment, "This is too important a subject to offend people on. You are already rubbing them the wrong way…" I believe this is such an important issue that I refuse to pussy foot around any aspect of the problem. I wish I was rubbing more people the wrong way! Over 99 percent of the letters I received were totally supportive – I don't want to preach to the choir. Oops – there I go with the religion stuff again!
Time Magazine approves homeschooling!
I have been told by a senior producer at Time that homeschooling will be their next cover story. She told me they will launch it online Sunday night (August 19th).
Also, Time has an online interactive feature they call "Ask the Expert," and they plan to use me as their expert to answer the questions that readers submit.

Effects of government school, Full Time Kindergarten! Family sacrifices
What an important issue you address! Thank you for doing this. I just wanted to briefly share our story. My husband, Jeff, and I have four beautiful children. Up until January of 2001, our oldest was enrolled in public school in the fifth grade and our next was enrolled in Kindergarten. (I might add, this year our school district decided to go to full-time Kindergarten – yes, that means five-year-olds in school from 7:55 a.m. until 3:35 p.m. five days a week).
Our younger children are now ages 2 and 1. I made the mistake of going right back to work after our youngest was born, thinking there would be no way to afford my staying at home. I was a full-time writer for a newspaper. I loved my job but was told that I couldn't do it from home and e-mail my stories to them. I decided to quit my job and trust in the Lord. Shortly after doing this, my husband and I discussed homeschooling one evening. We had talked about it many, many times but kept coming up with excuses. That particular evening, though, we prayed about it together and decided that public school was not where we wanted our children. Having a daughter in middle school was a real eye-opener for us. Her grades were very good, and she seemed to have nice friends but we started noticing a trend both in her education and curriculum as well as peer pressures. She was exhausted at the end of the day and began to shut us out of her life.
So, despite the criticism of friends, neighbors and family, we decided to take the plunge and pull them both out of public school. We have never regretted this decision and plan to homeschool all of our children through school. We belong to the area Christian Home Educators network and remain active in that wonderful organization. I really think that homeschooling is the way to go.
So, while I continue to search the internet for opportunities to do some writing from home to boost our income, my husband works two jobs to make homeschooling possible. It can be done on a shoestring budget with some creativity and the use of the internet and the local library!
Thank you for this opportunity to share our story. Keep up the good work and God bless you.
Starla Hendrickson
Belle Fourche, South Dakota
Dear Mrs. Hendrickson – I'll comment on two things you said:
1)"Her grades were very good, and she seemed to have nice friends but we started noticing a trend both in her education and curriculum as well as peer pressures. She was exhausted at the end of the day and began to shut us out of her life."
That sends chills down my spine! Think of this parents: you are told that you are the person responsible for the behavior, education, and character of your child. But you have less control than just about anyone. Their friends, their teachers and the state determine their very personalities! – that's chilling. The very best parent transfers their guiding influence to the peers and state when they consign their children to government schools. We usually wake up too late. Starla's daughter was shutting her parents out of her life because they were less relevant than her friends and the government teachers. Regarding the issue of "exhaustion, that requires at least a whole column!
2)"So, despite the criticism of friends, neighbors and family, we decided to take the plunge and pull them both out of public school."
Isn't it weird that our friends and family do not jump for joy when we decide to devote our lives to our children.
More lack of support from family and friends
My wife and I, under tremendous pressure from family and friends to not do so, have decided to keep our child from the Government school system …
Your article couldn't have been more timely, in that my wife and I are receiving much criticism from my family regarding our decision to homeschool our three children. What's worse, is they refuse any attempt at intelligent debate. I send them articles from WND and LewRockwell.com on homeschooling, and they reject them out of turn …
Aaron Brown
My mom-in-law has finally calmed down about homeschooling (now that some of her rich relatives are doing it), but she still thinks I can't care for a home, kids, and all the other duties of a wife/mom … even though I do it everyday. It is that pride thing you speak of … for if we are correct then it follows that they were incorrect. You just go on with what you know is right for your family and in God's eyes. After all, in the end we must answer to Him not others.
My husband and I are on a few discussion boards and "discuss" this topic with many … one of my favorites is the "socialization" boogie man. Oh, and the "you can't teach science without lab stuff." Folks are so confused as to what true "education" is in this government-run country that you have to "unteach" them just to get your point across. It is worth it and though it is hard at times I'm glad we have chosen to school our kids instead of leaving them to the government and "praying" God will fix it after we have ignored it for so long.
Congratulations on the baby … just when you had things in order too I bet! I know the feeling, but isn't it great?
God bless you both.
Dear Becky – Socialization! I wonder if people ever stop to think about the definition of "socialization." I'm sure you know that our founding fathers (and mothers) spoke and wrote of "republican virtues" and "republican character." This is a republic. We don't want our children "socialized." Leaving the political and philosophical implications aside, does anyone think the best person to socialize a child is another child? That's another column!
"Separation of school and state!"
I was recently struck with a thought I would like to share with you and idea which may help your cause. Every major battle in American history has been able to be reduced to a simple slogan which captures the essence of the struggle. "No taxation without representation" … "54-40 or fight" … "Remember the Alamo" … and countless others. Why not adopt one for your cause? "Separation of school and state." The reasons for desiring freedom from government schools is really no different at its core than the reasons for desiring freedom from government religion. I think that "Separation of school and state" resonates with the core idea of what is truly wrong with the public education system in this country …
Richard W. Bates
Dear Mr. Bates – I couldn't agree more! Without a doubt that is the slogan I love more than any other. Did you know there is an organization by that name? Everyone should go to the Alliance for the Separation of School and State and sign their proclamation. Their goal – one million signatures.
You omitted Marshall Fritz from your list, the Alliance for the Separation of School and State …
Bob Simpson
I was surprised to not see Marshall Fritz, president of the Alliance for the Separation of School and State, and Jacob Hornberger, president of the Future of Freedom Foundation.
Bill Standley
As a Christian I cannot agree with you about giving part of the tithe toward Home Schooling, or helping those homeschoolers in need by using part of your tithe. God's tithe belongs in the "Storehouse and only there." We can not designate where it goes. The command is non-negotiable, and irrevocable …
David L. Morris
My only nit-picky comment would be to ask you to rescind your comment at the end of your article where you said "All people should devote a portion of their tithe or charitable giving to helping the less fortunate achieve this goal." May I humbly suggest that 100 percent of one's tithe goes to your church. Certainly one may give above and beyond their tithe, but the tithe is the Lord's and not for us to willfully choose who should receive it.
Thank you for a wonderful website and excellent reporting.
Dear Messrs. Morris and Simon – I understand your point. Let me see if I can make mine a little clearer – I believe I did a poor job the first time. I said, "All homeschoolers who can should volunteer to help their friends, family and neighbors in meeting this end. All people should devote a portion of their tithe or charitable giving to helping the less fortunate achieve this goal."
Homeschoolers (also grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.) should help others to first, make the decision and second, implement the decision to homeschool. I believe most homeschoolers already do this. Let's face it. Americans have been indoctrinated for well over 100 years that educating children is difficult. This, of course, is not true. But most moms and dads don't know this. Most of us feel inadequate. We don't want to "mess up our kid's lives." I am suggesting that we all reach out in support and offer our "services" to those who have children in government schools but who are thinking about pulling them out. Give them advise. Let them sit in on your homeschooling sometime. Offer to share resources, etc. But, like I said, most homeschoolers are already doing this.
Regarding the tithe. I am more than open to some teaching on this but I will tell you what I believe now. In the old testament God commanded a tithe by the Jews for support of the Levites. They in turn tithed to the priest class of their tribe. In other words, one tenth of the one tenth went to support the priests. What were the other Levites doing? They could be found all over the land – teaching (among other things). I know that God wants faith to be interwoven in everything we do. Knowledge + understanding = wisdom. Knowledge without understanding is worthless. Who better to teach our children than the pastors of the church. It used to be that most professors were theologians. The church in America abandoned its responsibility in education back in the mid 1800's. We allow the state to indoctrinate our children about 40 hours a week and then take them to religious instruction about one or two hours a week. What is your tithe being used for? You know what? This is a column. I'll continue this Wednesday!
Free to teach
So far, as far as my wife and I are concerned, there is nothing that you've said upon which we would disagree; i.e. there is no debate. I would guess given some of your husband's writings, however, that we'd fundamentally disagree on the content of what would be taught. I look forward to this part of the discussion.
Regards and Best Wishes to you and your husband,
Thomas Rogers, Faithful Reader
Dear Mr. Rogers, And that is the beauty of parent-controlled education: everyone decides for themselves what they teach their children!
The quality of government-controlled education
The problems with government schools are not new. Let me relate my two favorite stories. Forty-four years ago we went to our son's school for parents' night, curious as to why he could manage only one A on his report card. We asked his second grade teacher where his other math papers were as those on display were all marked 99 or 100 percent. I can still hear her response: "Oh, he does excellent work, but I had already given him an A in spelling, and it wouldn't be fair to the others to give him a second."
Ten years later, we arrived back from overseas where his sister had just completed the first year under the British system, having mastered the times table up to 14 x 14 and begun cursive writing (honest.) As she had just turned 6, we asked the local school for special placement and were assured accommodation. One evening in her second week we asked her what she did that day. "Today we learned how to print the letter B," she said.
Within a week of these events our kids were in private schools …
Jerry Orr
Dear Mr. Orr, Cheers to you for your decisiveness!
Where are the preachers?
It has been said that if the 14 million Southern Baptists (on the rolls) would withdraw their children from the public schools, the system would collapse, regardless of where they sent them from there. Too bad they don't hear from their pulpits what you are saying in your article. But then, that would require a lot of working mothers to abandon careers and go home, and it's easier for pastors to step on the toes of the drunkards and abortionists than those of their own congregations (or wives).
A. Hughes
Dear Mr. Hughes, remember when we spoke of accomplishment and confidence? You can't buy "self esteem" and you can't give it away either! It is earned through accomplishment and right living.
I agree that the church is mostly at fault. They turned the children over to the state back in the 1800's. Just think what our country would be like today if that had not happened!
By-pass the first amendment
I will start with the question no one asks: why should a government that is barred from controlling the flow of information through the press to the general public be allowed to control the flow of information through the schools to children?
This situation presents two dangers. First, since the transmission of knowledge to minors is highly centralized, the education industry naturally attracts a disproportionate number of totalitarians. Second, the State has no incentive to get its facts straight …
Dear Alan, Bravo! The first amendment prohibits state established religion and press. When will the people remember that worldview (religion) is the foundation of education and the press?
Community Values Education
I think local community values need to be presented by established organizations in the community ("What Values Are Making Our Community Better"), represented only by established local citizens of those organizations on a weekly basis to every 7th-12th grader in the county. This would be a social studies class. Full credit. No cost to school system. No government organizations allowed. No religious/political recruiting. Blind lottery of approved organizations held at each school the month prior to the start of the school year. I call this the Community Values Initiative …
Point one: I believe parental and family standards far outweigh in importance the standards held by anyone in the community. Is the right to abort a baby a community standard today? Yes. Is it the standard most parents would teach their children? No.
Point two: Ask yourself this question, "What is this thing called 'community'?" Answer: everyone who lives within the bounds of a defined region. Doesn't that include parents?" So then why do children need to go to school to learn community standards if those standards are represented to them at home.
Point three: I believe all government involvement in schools should be abolished. I believe it is immoral and I believe it to be illegal to use taxpayer funds to indoctrinate children by force.
Government-school educators know
I am an educator in the public school and home school my two children. Children should not be in the public schools. I just hope that people actually listen to you.
You're one of many!
Why do parents have children?
I am so glad you have sparked this debate. Of course, we are homeschoolers. Until recently, we were the only ones in our neighborhood. I have listened to many reactions from mothers when we tell them we homeschool. This is what I've heard: "I just don't think I could do it" , "I would go crazy with my kids home all day" , "What about socialization." The list goes on.
What I don't understand is, why do people have children if they don't want to spend any time with them? They stay at home for six weeks then ship them off to day care. Then comes elementary and high school, and maybe college. The parents wonder where the time has gone and how quickly children grow up.
No, I don't have a masters degree in anything, but I do have the desire to teach my child my values.
So my question in this debate is: Why do people have children?
Mary – Alabama
Dear Mary – I believe most people don't consciously make a decision, at least not until very recently. They were raised that way and "everyone" else sends their kids off. Sometimes they don't realize what they lose until it is too late. This is a topic I will address soon.
Government Funded "private" schools
Just to drop you a note, that down here in New Zealand, they are teaching our children all the "culture", "art", politically-correct rubbish that they can get away with. There are children that are age 5 who can not read the basics, or know the simple counting to 10. But they can let you know that they are a maori, and that makes them "special".
Not to forget the left wing "green nuts" which think humans are "destroying" everything.
We put our children into a private Christian school, then the government started to fund it , then the standards dropped, and they came into line with the mainstream. Now my wife stays home and teaches, we import into the country A.C.E (Accelerated Christian Education). What a difference, both in attitude and work output.
I believe that your country is that last real place of freedom, we have already lost so much, don't let your country go down the same path as ours …
Yours faithfully,
Anthony Bent
Dear Mr. Bent – Many good people in America actually believe the government can institute a system whereby private schools are subsidized by the government through vouchers or other means. They are wrong.
Regarding basics: I found a similar phenomena in America. I have found that children here are taught everything about "native-Americans" year after year. They learn how to make acorn soup and corn-husk dolls. They know the names and mode of dress of every tribe. And yet, they cannot explain and defend the origins and principles of the War for Independence, or the Constitution. They do not know who Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, or John Jay are.
Now with the pseudo-conservative Bush administration we can look forward to even more centralized government education with its resultant evils. The time for those who love God and freedom to resist such tyranny is long past. It is indeed time to let the dead bury their dead and let the living rescue their children from the mind numbing idolatry of statism that is, by law, promoted in even the best of government schools.
Brent Bradley
Dear Mr. Bradley – The Bush administration's goals in education are no better than Clinton's. How horrible it is to know that both "establishment" parties are one and the same.

(Honolulu-AP) -- The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all flights out of Hawaii.
Security has been heightened at the Honolulu International Airport.
A spokesman for the state Department of Transportation says 16 U.S. bound international flights were diverted to Hawaii. Fifteen were to land at Honolulu and one was due at Kona International Airport on the Big Island.
Those flights were past the halfway point and could not turn back.
Several flights from Japan were also reported turned back.
Hawaiian Airlines canceled all trans-Pacific flights in and out of Hawaii until at least midnight. Interisland flights were canceled until at least 2 pm today.

This article originally appeared on ProPublica.
After federal regulators accused the University of Phoenix of systematic enrollment abuses in 2004, the school's parent company paid out nearly $10 million to resolve the allegations.
Phoenix allegedly had broken the law by tying recruiters' pay to enrollment numbers, US Department of Education investigators found, creating pressure to sign up unqualified students.
In the years since, Phoenix cemented its stature as the nation's largest for-profit school and the single biggest recipient of federal student aid. But some of the school's recruiters have continued to use high-pressure, deceptive tactics, according to a dozen current and former students and two former recruiters who spoke to ProPublica and Marketplace as part of a joint investigation.
The students said Phoenix counselors misled them about whether credits would transfer to other schools, pretended to befriend them and lied about financial aid. The recruiters said they were told to rope students in with phony claims that classes were filling fast, or by suggesting that federal grants would cover costs, even if that was uncertain.
Last week, Phoenix's parent company, the Apollo Group, announced that it had put aside $80 million to settle a whistleblower lawsuit that makes allegations similar to those in the 2004 investigation.
In making the announcement, Phoenix said its "compensation programs and practices were in compliance with the applicable legal requirements." And the university's president, Bill Pepicello, said in an earlier interview that if any recruiters had acted dishonestly, it was not with the company's approval.
Phoenix is not the only for-profit university to get into trouble in recent years. Over the past decade, federal and state agencies have found that other schools improperly paid recruiters based on how many people they signed up, falsified enrollment tests and fabricated financial aid documents.
But with the bad economy, the industry has boomed. Enrollments have leapt 20 percent in the last two years, as people look to gain skills or fill gaps in their resumes. Now the Obama administration plans to expand federal student aid programs to a record $130 billion, further benefiting the schools. Phoenix stands out. With 420,000 students, the school drew $3.2 billion in federal aid last year.

"Somedays i think to myself, damn you Daft Punk. Look what you went and did."
R Bell – Something id come up with.
The current fervour and passion for all things retro and vintage has blossomed into this killer triffid looming around music genres and casting its old school spell upon the masses.
I hear generic sayings like 'music is all cyclic, and things come up again and again'
Well yeah they do, but i dont personally think its all rehashing for the sake of it.
Its something that has happened a lot further back than just harking to the 60s or the pioneering of the 80s. Its been happening all around us in all forms of expressive art for hundreds of years.
A generation absorbs and then creates its interpretation and the next one comes along, maybe misreads some of the content and adds on its own interpretation of that musical form or a mood swimming around a catchy track.Its hardly a new phenomenon but its always surprising to see how many think its a unique event happening right now.
The resurgence of using synths more prominently in our creative hub has been rebirthed ever since we had our very first soft synths. Those original never been done before pieces of code placed into a DAW still in its transition from a 90's relic to a modern studio tool.
It changed our desire and methods of creating.
From a room full of time consuming and expensive equipment, to a simple box and a bunch of hard drives later…..
In the box became the buzz word.
Its a clutch of words that almost makes me wretch as hard as "total game changer" in modern over used ways to pigeon hole a simple evolution.
We are finding ourselves positively spoilt for choice and at a price so much kinder than the tags of the 70s and 80s. Yet it shall not quell our voices of disdain that we have to pay for actual hardware!?!?
I think some of the generation coming up have tasted too many instances of torrent sites and freebies, the sheer proposition of buying real instruments scares the living day lights out of some.
Their is just no limit on how you find your musical voice. It can be nourished with just a few simple instruments and tools, it can be found with a laptop and a pair of cans.
Its their among an ocean of complex modular units, or simply nestling in your head not yet affected or compromised by choices.
When Tron legacy arrived, something a bit stealthy happened and i dont think anyone saw it coming in the manner it did.
Someone else made synths relevant again, albeit fairly subtly.
Artists of decades past are then suddenly name dropped in every conversation and a healthy boost in Tangerine Dream albums sales ensued.
Those who mocked and proclaimed it wouldn't pan out, it will never last, are now just forgotten mumblings of several years disproved. All the while posting pics of a hardware synth they told you 5 years ago you'd be stupid to invest in.
I adore the fact their is such a high passion for it, and i dare not say 'again' as its so dismissive and it dilutes the legitimate ownership synths and samplers have in musical culture and the landscape.
They are all as deeply relevant and valuable to me as scores of treasured guitars from the last 60 years.Just as important, just as vocally unique in their delivery.
The one thing i do wish is, everyone would embrace the research into music in this arena as passionately or as detailed as they do for other more traditional forms.
I wouldn't propose we all go music concrete and Pierre Shaeffer on it, but just brush up a little wouldn't hurt.
Their are a treasure trove of film scores made almost entirely of synths, samplers and tape edits. And equally a mountain of tv shows and themes, scores from the last 30 or so years.
It really didnt just pop up from nowhere because of Stranger Things.
Some of us plainly forgot, others have never heard music like this at all, hence some really random name drops of who they think it sounds like to them.
Im glad its not a phase of any kind. case in point, from the hey day of the 80s, it has by no means peeled back, you just didnt see it hidden behind sax solos and guitar chugs and horn melodies.
Admittedly, during the 90s, for me personally, it was a very confused and wounded bird.
All areas of synth genre and the way the industry was pushing the workflow and ease of use side of the development, it was only going to go one way.
It was due a collision and i think that took place in the late 90's into the noughties.
Im a big fan of these cycles we speak of. I do love hearing re interpretations and fresh excitement for something familiar to you and i, but less so to someone else.
I think its safe to say i am very much a passionate ambassador for synthetic rights!!ha.
The impact made by synths and samplers in the last 30 years has sent ripples into music and those ripples will never, ever thin out. The pool is richer for its arrival and constant evolution.

Detroit is a huge metropolitan city and losing a dog in the city can be one of the most frustrating things. Even more stressful would be finding one because you do not know how to bring the dog to its beloved owner.
The first thing to do would be to check his tag and try to reach whatever number is on there. Then put up flyers around the area you found him because even if the owner does not recognize him, maybe someone else can. If these two do not work, there are still many option.
The first thing you will want to do is call the following animal shelters:
- Detroit Dog Rescue
- Michigan Humane Society
- Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society.
Two popular and no kill shelters are the Detroit Dog Rescue and Animal Welfare Society, meaning that they will not kill the dog even if it has not found his home after time. All of these shelters are located in different parts of Detroit and they can do their best to help find the owner.
All of these places can check to see if the dog has any electronic chip put inside by the owner containing their contact information. If not, they will help take care of the dog and feed it so that if the owner comes looking for the dog they can easily find him. Other places you can take the found dog are like Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption and Detroit Center for Animal Care.
These places are aimed at adopting the dog but will help take care of the dog and help them find a safe home. You can bring them in at any age, any size, any weight, and so forth. There may be some restriction based on the health of the dog; basically if the dog is extremely sick that may be an issue to first present to the veterinarian before the adoption center.

Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium By Bart Ehrman Oxford University Press
Bart Ehrman has a sympathetic ear for those who have been predicting the end of the world for 2,000 years. They hark back to Jesus himself, who, according to Ehrman, can best be understood as predicting the coming of the Kingdom of God in his own generation.
Ehrman writes from his perspective as a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina. Like many of the current biographers of Jesus, he gives attention to the peculiar cultural tensions of the Greco-Roman-Jewish world of Jesus' time. And he makes a historian's attempt to write about Jesus apart from the risen Christ of traditional Christian faith.
Ehrman's conclusions match Albert Schweitzer's 100 years ago: Jesus' message and acts can all be interpreted under the mantle of apocalyptic prophecy. That is, Jesus was predicting a coming day of judgment, after which God would establish a new era of righteousness on earth.
Ehrman's approach asks this of the reader: Try to read the synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, without the theology that John projected onto the life of Jesus or the theology contained in Paul's letters. He summarizes his approach: "Christians were modifying and inventing stories about Jesus, and ... our written sources preserve both historically reliable information and theologically motivated accounts. In light of this situation, the traditions that we can most rely on as historically accurate are those that are independently attested in a number of sources, that do not appear to have been created in order to fulfill a need in the early Christian community (the criterion of dissimilarity), and that make sense in light of a first-century Palestinian context."
Ehrman takes as one kind of proof of his interpretation Jesus' preaching in the book of Matthew, in which the son of man judges those who will enter the kingdom. "What is striking about this story, when considered in view of the criterion of dissimilarity," Ehrman writes, "is that there is nothing distinctively Christian about it. That is to say, the future judgment is not based on belief in Jesus' death and resurrection, but on doing good things for those in need."
He takes as further evidence the fact that "Jesus' ministry began with his association with John the Baptist, an apocalyptic prophet, and ended with the establishment of the Christian church, a community of apocalyptic Jews who believed in him. "
Jesus' ethics, particularly as shown in the parables, showed how one should live now to experience the kingdom of heaven. But even an ethical life here and now was seen as only a foretaste of what life would be like in the coming kingdom, Ehrman maintains.
This book represents a serious and highly readable attempt to interpret Jesus' life based on a knowledge of the context of his times and the written sources in the Bible. As with other new works on Jesus, the reader who is inclined to read one should read several.

"The opposition has its own justice, its own tribunals"
Those who were executed in this video are not simple civilians, but rather pillars of the regime. The Berri clan is known for recruiting "chabbihas" (militiamen working for the regime) to attack opposition activists.The opposition has its own justice, its own tribunals. Those very close to the regime, like Berri, and who have blood on their hands, have long been on the list of those condemned to die. The Free Syrian Army does not kill innocent people.We do not believe in any international justice. Even if Bashar al-Assad had fallen from power, no tribunal would dare convict him. We do not want to wait years, like other countries have, for prosecutions that will not avenge our dead.
"Even the Free Syrian Army officers who were present and who did not approve of this did not have time to react"
It all happened very quickly, to the point that even the officers who were present and who did not approve of this did not have time to react. The Free Syrian Army soldiers who carried out the execution were almost in an alternate state. They had just lost 17 of their comrades in fights with this very clan, comrades whose corpses were still lying on the field of combat. They held the Berris, and notably Zeinou Berri, responsible for these deaths, because his clan had joined the regular army to fight against the Free Syrian Army.The execution was horrific. It is of course shocking that it happened in such a summary manner. But I understand the reaction of the Free Syrian Army soldiers. The losses they had suffered blinded them. I don't know if this kind of excess will happen again, and I hope not, but we are in wartime and it is not always easy for combatants to react in a reasonable manner.

The curse of knowledgePosted: October 18, 2011 Filed under: Notes | Tags: knowledge Leave a comment
When I read this I couldn't help but think about how technical people have trouble communicating technology to every day people:
In 1990, Elizabeth Newton did a fascinating psychology experiment: She paired participants into teams of two: one tapper and one listener. The tappers picked one of 25 well-known songs and would tap out the rhythm on a table. Their partner – the designated listener – was asked to guess the song. How do you think they did?
Not well. Of the 120 songs tapped out on the table, the listeners only guessed 3 of them correctly – a measly 2.5 percent. But get this: before the listeners gave their answer, the tappers were asked to predict how likely their partner was to get it right. Their guess? Tappers thought their partners would get the song 50 percent of the time. You know, only overconfident by a factor of 20. What made the tappers so far off?
They lost perspective because they were "cursed" with the additional knowledge of the song title.
It's hard for knowledgable people — on any topic — to understand what it's like to not have knowledge of that topic. So when we try to explain something that we know well, we often leave out key details because we assume their too obvious.
It's important to understand how people not like you think.
