This comes in the midst of a six-year period in which the Post reports the former president has earned $40 million in speaking fees. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,255203,00.html {Flashback} Barbara Bush made donation - provided her son's firm got it HOUSTON - Former first lady Barbara Bush contributed money to a hurricane-relief fund on the condition that it be spent to buy educational software from her son Neil's company. Jean Becker, the chief of staff of former President George H.W. Bush, would not disclose the amount earmarked for purchases from Ignite Learning. ... But Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy, a charity watchdog group, said donors who direct that their money be used to buy products from a family business set a bad precedent. "If everybody started doing that, it would ruin our whole system for tax-exempt organizations because people would be using them to benefit their business rather than for the public benefit," he said. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002888160_katbush25.html Al Gore's 'Inconvenient' Hypocrisy: Mansion an Energy Hog - In his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore urges Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home In his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore urges Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home, the group noted. "The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh-more than 20 times the national average," the Tennessee Center for Policy Research said in a news release. ... "As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use," said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/2/27/144935.shtml Wednesday, June 25, 2008 14:10 GMT / Created by RSS2PDF.com Page 1 of 134 Jesus Walk 2007 (Easter) 10 Day Timeline Devotion (PDF) Follow along with Jesus in the current Resurrection (Easter) Holiday dates of 2007 during the last Ten days leading up to and including His Cross and His Glorious Resurrection.

From just looking at the slap of limestone found in Jerusalem it's hard to tell. And we, like the Sun, are unsure how to answer. But one man knows. James Cameron, film director, the man behind Titanic, The Terminator and Piranha Part Two: The Spawning, says this is Jesus' coffin. ... Yes, you heard that right - there was more than one Jesus. And while Cameron ponders an entire series of Jesus flicks and made-for TV movies, he has another film ready to promote. And, as luck has it, this is a film about his amazing discovery.

He pleaded guilty in August to a charge of providing material support to Hamas and also testified in a Chicago case against a man identified by authorities as a Hamas operative. Prosecutors have said that between 1997 and 2001, Shorbagi provided financial support to Hamas, a group designated by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization. He also was accused of conspiring to provide material support to Hamas. The donations were through a charity called the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, prosecutors said. ... He has said under oath that in return for his testimony, prosecutors agreed to seek a reduction in his sentence, give him a special residency visa, place him in the federal witness protection program and not indict him in an unrelated fraud case. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17365012/ Al Gore defends energy saving efforts - Gore's "mansion" "consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year Wednesday, June 25, 2008 14:10 GMT / Created by RSS2PDF.com Page 2 of 134 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A day after actor Leonardo DiCaprio hailed Al Gore on the Oscar stage as a "inspirational leader in the fight against global warming," the former vice president was forced to respond to charges from a Tennessee organization that his home consumes significantly more energy than the national average. ... The Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that Gore's "mansion" "consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year." "The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh -- more than 20 times the national average," the group charged in a statement. http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2007/02/gore-defends-energy-saving-efforts.html Edwards Campaign Knew Marcotte's History - First, it's clear that the Edwards campaign was looking for someone who would be as abrasive as Marcotte on issues such as abortion, birth control, and social conservatives There are a couple of things that become clear from Beyerstein's article. First, it's clear that the Edwards campaign was looking for someone who would be as abrasive as Marcotte on issues such as abortion, birth control, and social conservatives. They went for Beyerstein first, and when they couldn't have her they went for Marcotte - and "Bob" was well aware of the things that both Beyerstein and Marcotte had written in the past. It was no accident that the Edwards campaign ended up with somebody like Marcotte. That's who they were looking for all along. The second thing this reveals is the completely disingenuous nature of John Edwards' announcement that he would not fire Marcotte. He said: "The tone and the sentiment of some of Amanda Marcotte's and Melissa McEwan's posts personally offended me." If that's the case, then why did he hire them in the first place? Before, we might have assumed that he didn't know about their moonbat posts. We now know that wasn't the case, which makes his assertion that he found their posts offensive awfully suspicious. If he did find them offensive, he must not have minded hiring them despite the offense their posts caused. http://www.redstate.com/blogs/nathan_nelson/2007/feb/26/breaking_edwards_campaign_knew_marcottes_hi story Amazing Grace and the Personal - To make what may be an obvious connection, Amazing Grace caused me to think about abortion I saw Amazing Grace last night, which is the story of the British politician William Wilberforce's his drive to end the slave trade in the world's greatest superpower within his lifetime. The film was impressive, both artistically and in its emotional impact. Wilberforce's story brings you within the power of a quest for justice. You can literally feel the passion to save the Africans from the brutality of the slave trade and the tremendous frustration of Wilberforce and his group as they are blocked at every turn. Stress, anguish, and overwork led Wilberforce to ruin his health battling against the hold of slavery on his culture and its conception of economic interest. To make what may be an obvious connection, Amazing Grace caused me to think about abortion. When I became a Christian in college, I began to be exposed to the case for ending the practice of abortion. Over time, I grew strong in the conviction that abortion ended a human life, that it was violent and barbaric, and that all possible steps should be taken to prohibit the procedure. ... http://www.redstate.com/stories/culture/amazing_grace_and_the_personal 'Amazing Grace' film about Wilberforce called inspirational - movie -- to be released Feb. 2007 and rated PG Wednesday, June 25, 2008 14:10 GMT / Created by RSS2PDF.com Page 3 of 134 NASHVILLE, Tenn.

  • Diana, Princess of Wales
    Diana, Princess of Wales The Lady Diana Frances Spencer (Diana Frances Mountbatten- Windsor, née Spencer) (1 July 1961–31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. From her marriage in 1981 to her divorce in 1996 she was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. After her divorce in 1996, Diana ceased to be a Royal Highness and The Princess of Wales and instead was styled Diana, Princess of Wales. She was often called Princess Diana by the media and the public, but this was incorrect both during and after her marriage, as she was only ever a Princess by marriage, not by birth.' An iconic presence on the world- stage, Diana, Princess of Wales was noted for her pioneering charity work. Yet her philanthropic endeavours were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles. Her bitter accusations via friends and biographers of adultery, mental cruelty and emotional distress visited upon her riveted the world for much of the 1990s, spawning books, magazine articles and television movies. From the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in a car accident in 1997, the Princess was arguably the most famous woman in the world, the pre-eminent female celebrity of her generation: a fashion icon, an image of feminine beauty, admired and emulated for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and the international campaign against landmines. During her lifetime, she was often referred to as the most photographed person in the world. To her admirers, The Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood — while her detractors saw her life as a cautionary tale of how an obsession with publicity can ultimately destroy an individual.

    WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

  • Diana and Race: Romance and the Reconfiguration of the Nation1
    Diana and Race: Romance and the Reconfiguration of the Nation1 Mica Nava This article was published in Mourning Diana: Nation, Culture and the Performance of Grief, edited by Adrian Kear and Lynn Steinberg, London: Routledge (1999). A slightly modified version entitled ‘Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed: Romance, Race and the Reconfiguration of the Nation’ was included as Chapter 7 in Mica Nava’s Visceral Cosmopolitanism: Gender, Culture and the Normalisation of Difference, Oxford: Berg (2007) Introduction Every now and again there are cultural events which freeze frame the transformed and transformative elements of a historical period. Princess Diana’s death and the week which followed exposed to the world the lineaments of a new British nation which bore no resemblance to the conventional heritage images disseminated around the globe in travel posters, films and BBC dramas over the decades since world war two and the decline of empire. The lead role, it is true, still belonged to a princess, but the supporting cast – the metropolitan populace - was composed to a remarkable extent of the visibly-different dark-skinned children and grandchildren of Britain’s former colonies, bolstered by a cosmopolitan ragbag of migrant physiognomies from around the world. And more striking still: in this new scenario the lover of the golden haired princess was dark-skinned and from somewhere else as well. The public face of Britain was no longer white. This new picture of the nation, captured and played back on the endless hours of television footage, was transmitted not only to the world outside. It registered and was constitutive of a transformation in the domestic consciousness as well.

From a Western perspective, particularly an American one, it is easy to categorize all Vietnamese immigrants under the same umbrella. Although there are similarities among all three waves, one significant element that differentiates the third wave from the other two is the United States’ enactment of the Amerasian Homecoming Act of 1987, which facilitated an influx of Vietnamese Americans to the U.S.

Thanks mainly to Hallyu (Korean Wave), it has suddenly become part of the Filipino consciousness and the interest to study it in various aspects has finally been rekindled in the Philippine academe. There are definitely many other factors contributing to this phenomenal development but Hallyu has indeed remarkably made a difference in the process, owing to the huge influence that it renders to the populace through various media. Amid such growing interest toward Korea arises the need to understand its culture and society. It is in this respect where the role of the academe becomes notably significant.
