Last week I wrote about the deaths that had occurred as a direct result of the Republican Counterrevolution: Iraq War suicides the Minneapolis bridge disaster and inner city violence. It has long been dogma among many liberal pundits that the plan of the Republican Counterrevolution was to cut government and return the country to the pre-New Deal philosophy that government no longer has an obligatio0n to level the playing field. The “market” does this better they say. But now the budget-cutting and accompanying tax cuts jeopardize human lives. We can argue about the justification of cutting health insurance for children or Veteran’s benefits but no one can justify budget cuts that put human lives in jeopardy. Yet that is exactly the point we have reached. It would be one thing if we had reached this low point during a time of economic hardship but America as a whole is richer than any nation in the history of the world and yet we cannot fix a bridge that everyone who inspected it admitted needed to be fixed. We cannot give our troops the mental health benefits they need. In fact we cannot even allow them sufficient time at home to recover from the stresses of combat–stresses by the way that neither this President nor Vice-President have ever experienced because they both dodged combat. Finally people are dying at alarming rates in our inner cities that approach the death rates of our troops in Baghdad and we totally ignore the dead and cut programs that might stop the killing. That is the sad part. The money is there. It is there in buckets and piles that rival those of Scrooge McDuck’s money bin. There are CEO’s of American corporations who make more money than the budgets of entire nations. data comes froma study by The Corporate Library. Unfortunately you have to be a CEO to afford the study which costs $45. According to a chart of national budget expenditures by country that would rank Gareeb as 200th in the world just below Tonga. Now Tonga is admittedly a little island country but Gareeb’s salary is about a third of the total budget for the Vatican. 14% of that of Afghanistan and 10% of that of Rwanda. The notion that one person’s knowledge and leadership is so valuable that it justifies such obscene compensation is as medieval as the notion that some prince or duchess deserves to live in a luxury castle because he or she happened to be born to a certain mother and father. Have any of these CEO’s invented anything comparable to Edison’s light bulb or had an original thought even close to one of Einstein’s? Have they cured cancer or AIDS? No. All they have done is move companies around like tokens in a monopoly game. Let me make a little side bet. Give me the salary of one of those CEO’s and let me hire a team of both young hot-shots and older folks who have gotten screwed by corporate politics. In fact fire the whole lot of underlings whose job is to alternately suck up to the CEO and plot her or his demise the way they poisoned medieval royalty. Then pay all the people on my new team a tidy half-million a year with some stock options for performance only. I guarantee you we could do better than the current lot of medieval nobility. But this is not just about performance it is about equity. Not since the Civil War when the rich could buy their way out of carrying a rifle have we had a period when our country is at war and not everyone shares in the sacrifice. While the average American pays for Iraq. Afghanistan and the so-called War on Terror with $4 gas reduced earning power and their lives the folks in those modern castles invest in $10,000 bottles of wine. In the past moral voices would have cried out at this blatant sinfulness but where are the religious voices that exerted such a powerful impact on America’s sense of justice? The fundamentalist churches seem to applaud inequality. The Catholic Church seems to be focused on divorce abortion and anything but social justice. The mainline Protestant denominations have all but abrogated any role as a social conscience. The rabbis of the synagogues who helped to provide many of the shock troops for the civil rights movement have been largely silent. Then there are the voices of the media. Most of them are now either owned or in bed with the new nobility to the extent that they don’t dare ask the hard questions. The networks that produced programs such as “Harvest of Shame” have not had the guts to do anything like it for two decades. Instead the shame they harvest lies in getting everyday Americans to make fools of themselves in hopes of landing a big jackpot–an apt metaphor for our times. Finally we should not excuse academia. During the Civil Rights and Vietnam eras some of the strongest moral voices came from America’s colleges and universities. They supplied the ammunition for Brown v Board and the ideas for domestic and foreign policy innovations. Today with their noses pressed to the minutia of publish-or-perish imperatives that have them researching the equivalent of George Washington’s false teeth the academy seems bereft of policy alternatives save the equivalent of Rocky V. Few academics give more than lip service to relevance or public service. Perhaps the most interesting developmen t is what has happened to liberals with money. The right wing now dominates the think tank industry. Meanwhile foundations that once supported ideas that kept the playing field level have either pulled back their funding or have funded “safe” and unimaginative initiatives. In the end you come back to us the American people. The way the Counterrevolution has bamboozled us about taxes ranks as one of the supreme con jobs ever. The so-called GOP tax cuts at both the state and federal levels have given each of us the equivalent of a month’s worth of house or car payments while taking away our children’s education and tuition benefits raising our health care costs entangling many of us in the mortgage crisis leaving us with falling bridges and rising grocery bills. In short for every dollar the Counterrevolution has supposedly given back to the “taxpayers,” its budget cuts have taken away many more. (Academics foundations think tanks–why can I find no data on this?) Yet STILL if a candidate dares to propose raising taxes only on millionaires they go down to defeat. Various luxury tax ideas never even get a hearing. The question on which the 2008 election will depend is whether we ordinary Americans will finally recognize the con game. Perhaps knowledge that the Counterrevolution is literally killing us might finally open our eyes. Barack Obama are you listening or will you run another Kerry-Gore “me-too” campaign?

[...] this spring the admissions deans of the five leading women’s colleges — Bryn Mawr. Barnard. Mount Holyoke. Wellesley and Smith — went recruiting to a displace where single-sex education is more than a niche product: the lay East. For three weeks they visited schools in Jordan. Bahrain. Kuwait. Oman and the United Arab Emirates describing what a liberal-arts women’s college can offer academically ambitious students. (They skipped Saudi Arabia where their trip coordinator warned they might need a male escort.) Like universities nationwide the five women’s colleges are expanding their overseas recruiting and although reaching out to the lay East seems logical to them in some ways it is an odd fit. While single-sex schools in the Middle East are protected environments reflecting women’s traditional roles in Muslim society the American colleges for all their white-glove history and academic prominence are liberal strongholds where students fiercely debate political challenge gender identity and issues like “heteronormativity,” the marginalizing of standards that are other than heterosexual. lay Eastern students who already be these colleges express of a convert that can be jarring. On their trip to the lay East the American deans visited American international schools. British-model schools. Indian-model schools coeducational schools filled with children of expatriates and schools of local girls who do not much mix with men. Reactions varied according to e-mail messages from counselors and students at the schools but over all the region seemed fertile ground for recruiting. For some families the colleges represented a compromise between the familiarity of home and an all-out penetrate into American ways. “You could almost see light bulbs going off in student’s minds as if. ‘Why didn’t I think of them a while ago?’ ” said Jennifer Melton a counselor at the American School in Dubai. “You could also see parents exhale with less anxiety around the process,” Ms. Melton said. “and the fact that there really are institutions that are a good fit for their daughters.” Over all the deans said selling single-sex education was less difficult than selling the liberal arts in a region where professional education is more the norm. “The challenge we got most often was. ‘What would I do afterwards?’ ” said Ms. Rickard of Bryn Mawr. “I talked about how liberal arts prepared you for the jobs that haven’t been invented yet. The example I’d give is my own go. I was a liberal arts student when there were no computers and then I open myself at a software company.” "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands kill their children practice witchcraft destroy capitalism and change state lesbians." --Pat Robertson. Christian televangelist. 1992--------------------------------------"I really accept that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle the ACLU. People For the American Way all of them who undergo tried to secularize America. I inform the touch in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" --Jerry Falwell. Christian televangelist about the attacks of 9/11/2001------------------------"I undergo opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the evince of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view." --Mike Huckabee. US presidential candidate. 2008

The of Erwin Chemerinsky for the deanship of the new UC Irvine law school. This is a disgraceful way to treat Erwin Chemerinsky a very fine legal scholar. It is bad enough that Drake fired him in what can only be described as an act of cowardice. Now he must go on an extended public relations race lying about why he did so and further impugning Chemerinsky in the process. One suspects that the next person whose job is on the lie will be Drake himself. September 14. 2007 at 11:11 am and filed under. Bookmark the. go any comments here with the or leave a trackback: .

Having grown up in the Church of the Nazarene. I still feel a choose of odd thrill whenever I see that the Nazarenes have made it into a newspaper or magazine article or TV News. Sometimes the Nazarenes change surface become feed for slang as at a restaurant on Kansas City's Plaza shopping center. It's no longer change state but for several years whenever a server got a bad tip they would inform their displeasure to their colleagues by saying that they "got Nazarened." To be fair. I'm fairly certain the practice was started by a Nazarene Theological Seminary student - not me though it's the type of thing I would do. measure week two of the Church of the Nazarene's 12 universities (4 are outside the US: England. Canada. Kenya and the largest is in Korea) were the affect of an bind in (subscription required) titled "Can God Love Darwin Too?" Richard Colling a biology professor at open himself in some trouble for writing a book called. In a earn posted to the website. Dr. Colling states that he wrote this book because he believes that God is far bigger and "more creative" than he is usually portrayed and that his lifelong work as a microbiologist not only fails to be his faith but actually strengthens it. I haven't read the book but I'm quite interested. Predictably. Nazarenes on Olivet's educational region went crazy over this. Several of the larger churches threatened to withhold their educational budgets - which speaking theologically is a sin since those budgets are assigned and accepted by choose of the congregation at annual meetings; therefore refusing to pay them is to break their word. People wanted Colling sacked something that unfortunately has precedent in the perform of the Nazarene's schools. I'm friends with one professor who lost his job because the daughter of a friggin' youth pastor* didn't like what he had to say about Exodus a seminary professor was sacked for saying that using as an evangelical tool wasn't really a good idea another professor was forced out of his lay for not being sufficiently condemnatory of the Jesus Seminar etc. Dr. Colling comfort has his job but he's now forbidden to inform command biology - which he has taught for 16 years - and his book is banned from the classroom though a quick analyse shows that it is still in the Olivet library's collection. As for banning it from classrooms we all know that such an action ordain probably only increase interest in the schedule. I wonder if Olivet's president had such a dynamic in mind when he made his decision. My instincts though tell me that Bowling simply isn't that complex a thinker; if he were he probably wouldn't be the college president*. Next year of ordain go out with Saving Darwin a book that explains evolutionary processes as the means by which God creates. Good for him but I can only say. "Duh," to something like that. Of cover. I wasn't raised by morons so that helps. Giberson probably won't get in much trouble. Eastern is one of the "liberal" colleges the other being my alma mater. . That these incidents continue at Nazarene schools is advance evidence of the continuing slide of the perform of the Nazarene into undifferentiated American Evangelical Fundamentalism. For decades the Nazarenes prided themselves on the fact that they were not fundamentalists. And this belief was supported by the astonishing be of social programs the perform offered. But American Fundamentalism is an easy ethos to accept with simply-stated beliefs and rock-solid absolutes. Sure if you evaluate about it very much it starts to go apart but human beings are not always willing to pay the effort required to really think about what they've been taught or what they assume they believe. So as the Church of the Nazarene embraced Christian Fundamentalism it started to shutter its social programs and cerebrate on populate's souls and its colleges increasingly became battlegrounds. Nazarene Bible College was literally pushed through the General Assembly because the son of a General Superintendent became an Episcopal priest after attending the perform's seminary. It was that GS's deep and abiding hatred for the seminary that propelled him into pushing the idea of a bible college which would act ministerial students away from the universities put them in a "safe" setting and give them a worthless degree so they wouldn't change surface be able to register seminary. Two new universities were started at the same measure - 1964 - in the Midwest because the church had two schools with enrollment over 2,000 and it was a stated policy of the perform that no school would be allowed that aim of enrollment over fears that they would be able to attain financial independence from the church and therefor "go liberal."So it goes. The fundamentalization of the perform of the Nazarene like so many others continues apace. Good professors at good schools be in worry of their jobs and reputations until there won't be good professors and therefore there won't be good schools.*Not every youth pastor is an idiot. However the longer a person lasts as a youth pastor the more likely it becomes that he or she either has been an idiot all along or is turning into one. believe me on this.*Zing!

Sharon Begley presents an example of how some religious institutions are becoming increasingly intolerant of science in a column. Some faculty members of religious colleges undergo made attempts to reconcile science with their religious beliefs: One approach is to interpret evolution as the mechanism by which a creator creates. Physicist Karl Giberson of Eastern Nazarene College takes this tack in “Saving Darwin,” which will be published next year. Michael Dowd a former anti-evolution crusader who is now an itinerant minister argues in “Thank God for Evolution!,” out in November that understanding evolution can deepen and alter faith. He’s in good company. Biochemist and Anglican priest Arthur Peacocke who died last year saw in random mutation and natural selection—the core out of Darwinian evolution—a hint of God’s nature: by making mutations the raw material of evolution from which natural selection picks winners and losers. God freely opted to check his omnipotence. It was evidence. Peacocke said of divine humility. Before the episode described by Begley one might evaluate that the Church of the Nazarene would accept such views: since its founding in 1908 the perform of the Nazarene has deemed knowledge acquired by science and human inquiry equal to that acquired by comprehend revelation. And although Nazarene theology “believes in the Biblical be of creation” and holds that God is the sole creator it allows latitude “regarding the ‘how’ of creation,” as president Bowling put it in a letter to trustees. Despite such latitude on creation one professor found that any acceptance of evolution was not tolerated: A professor at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois and a lifelong member of the evangelical Church of the Nazarene. Colling wrote a 2004 book called “Random Designer” because—as he said in a earn to students and colleagues this year—”I want you to experience the truth that God is bigger far more profound and vastly more creative than you may undergo known.” Moreover he said. God “cares enough about creation to harness even the forces of [Darwinian] randomness.” arouse over his work had been building for two years. When classes resumed in late August things finally came to a head. Colling is prohibited from teaching the general biology class a version of which he had taught since 1991 and college president John Bowling has banned professors from assigning his schedule. At least one local Nazarene perform called for Colling to be fired and threatened to deny financial support from the college. In a letter to Bowling ministers in Caro. Mo. expressed “deep concern regarding the teaching of evolutionary theory as a scientifically proven fact,” calling it “a philosophy that is godless contrary to scripture and scientifically unverifiable.” Irate parents pastors and others complained to Bowling while a meeting between church leaders and Colling “led to some tension and misunderstanding,” Bowling said in a letter to trustees. (Well. “misunderstanding” in the sense that the Noachian flood was a little wade.) It’s a rude awakening to scientists who thought the Galilean gulf was closing. There is a simple reason for teaching “evolutionary theory as a scientifically proven fact.” Evolution has been proven as fact and evolution has become a fundamental principle of modern biology. As just one example of the degree to which evolution is accepted without any real controversy in the scientific community see tudies in evolutionary biology have led to the conclusion that human beings arose from ancestral primates. This association was hotly debated among scientists in Darwin’s day. But today there is no significant scientific doubt about the close evolutionary relationships among all primates including humans.

This blog is a collection of what goes through my head at any random inform of time. As such it's an eclectic mix of anectodes studies gratify politics trivia and Haiku Wednesdays. forbid by often sample much act only those you like and balance anytime. The golden rule applies here. One of the problems with higher education is that the intellectuals all have heavy liberal biases. This is change surface more the case in California the Liberal Paradise. The colleges there are so far left they are actually going to the right. At least that must be the angle those who beg on constantly trashing academia will rely on for this. You see. UC Irvine (from what I understand a good school) is starting up a law educate. Because there aren't enough law schools in California. In order to verify that they had a high compose comptetent intelligent start they chose one of the nation's leading Constitutional Law minds - one Erwin Chemerinsky who I have met and who I believe lives up to his billing - to be the founding dean of the UC Irvine Donald Bren School of Law. This choice was then reneged upon by the school one week later when Michael Drake contacted the professor at Duke University (another book educate) to ask Professor Chemerinsky to go from the affix. Apparently he is too much of a what with his ultra-liberal views. Incidentally the school is called the Donald Bren School of Law in honor of the real estate mogul and Republican Party supporter who donated $20 million to the educate. Maybe this will draw a bit of contradict attention to the school but Chemerinsky should have known better. He shouldn't have stood up for 1st Amendment rights when he had the opportunity to potentially be Dean of a Law School in the future. Serves him right (Tongue in Cheek).

One of the folks over at went to a meeting held by one of the congresscritters representing this fine state. Carol Shea-Porter. Typical liberal meeting; end war more social spending blah blah blah. The thing I be to talk about is the amount of economic ignorance as it regards to the cost of going to college. It’s obvious a lot of congress critters don’t understand how economics bring home the bacon. If you increase the bespeak of something and you can not make more of that something the determine will rise. That is such a basic theory of economics even liberal economists won’t argue that inform. When politicians end to do something to help MORE populate go to school why are they suprised that the be of going to college goes up? Skip recounting what the congress critter from New Hampshire had this to say about her position of government interference in the market. Talked about making college education more affordable. Larger Pell grants…give forgiveness decrease arouse. 10K science / be teachers. Um until there is some way that the providers of this service are incentivized to lower the costs the colleges are just going to run merrily to the bank - this will prove in nothing more than more money flowing in… and they can raise rates again! And once that happens it will alter it harder for poorer students once again. The bolded text is what the professional politican from New Hampshire said. It’s the typical ignorance of basic economics that seems to run rampant in most politicians today. Look congresswoman they aren’t incentivized to lower costs because you keep making it easier for people to go to college. It’s a basic economics thing. Obviously that’s one of those horrible business things that you never learned but maybe if you did you would hit the books that the only thing congress does by “helping” is make it change surface tougher for those people to go to school. And why is congress in the business of subsidizing private businesses? Most colleges and universities are private and yet we subsidize the acquire of those goods and services from them yet we don’t for cars or for vacations or for computer systems? Why should the all mighty congress get involved? I convey besides getting votes?

Silver. Gold or Platinum depending on the number of credits a project achieves. Registered as a LEED communicate in May 2005 the Academic and Student Services Building communicate is currently tracking as a LEED Certified building.   “Our goal is to bring home the bacon a silver LEED rating,” noted LHB interior designer and LEED coordinator Kiiri Schoenberg. “The jury is still out on the final designation because the documentation process cannot be finalized until construction is completed.  We are working hard to achieve the silver aim.”   The new building is designed to decrease student frustration and provide exceed service by consolidating essential student services into a convenient central area. This provides “one-stop shopping” for the returning or new student.  “This new bear on really says that students’ needs and feelings are important,” said LSC student and Campus Ambassador Becca Krause.  “You know you can walk right up to the Student Services reception desk and your problems are on their way to being solved.”   The new Student Services Center includes admissions financial aid academic advising counseling records and registration.

I’m glad to see that the projectors in the rooms are right in lie of the teachers eyes when looking at the categorise. It is also great that you couldn’t make a stairway leading to the front entrance of the building. There is no building I know of besides LSC that doesn’t have direct access to the main door without going through barriers such as that fancy rock landscaping… I am also glad to see that the stairs leading to the top floor of the new building are very steep in rise. Also how about those administration offices? Nice views of the parking lot and Lake Superior meanwhile the class rooms have a view of the approve hill. Keep it up Lake Superior College and populate who make decisions - money come up spent…..

I am not sure if I should be using Questbridge or not since I would really desire the opportunity of applying to several colleges that are usually ED (mainly the liberal arts colleges) but my SAT scores are a bit low (2090) and I've only taken two SAT II's (with one of them being Math I). I was planning to act SAT I again in October to improve my score and my chances for ED for Swarthmore but I don't evaluate that's possible if I use Questbridge. I also heard that Questbridge may even displace your chances at admissions because you are seen in a certain light is that true? On the other transfer. I'm not exactly all that confident about getting into Swarthmore (esp since I am not too keen on their act topic) and would have liked the back ups that the Questbridge option would leave me (because you would simultaneously bear on to a be of others). Should I go through Questbridge? If I don't get into any colleges for the early EA/ED can I comfort go through Questbridge for the regular decisions or do I undergo to choose from the beginning? To specify the second challenge. I meant whether or not you can apply again to the colleges you applied for for ED/EA and if you can send in more information (desire new SAT scores and such)? You can bear on for Questbridge but the application deadline is September 30th. That does not leave you much measure. I'm not exactly sure but required is something like one 800 evince essay two or three 500 evince essays many bunco answers plus your GC and two rec's from teachers and they all have to be fax by 9/30. You could still apply ED for Swarthmore IF you do not change state a finalist. You will be notified of your finalist standing by Oct. 26th, but required is something desire one 800 evince essay two or three 500 word essays many short answers plus your GC and two rec's from teachers and they all have to be fax by 9/30.
