POPSAnti-Jihad 'University': Bringing Insurgents In From The Cold
While I was not permitted to talk privately with detainees, I visited both Camp Cropper, near Baghdad International Airport, and remote Camp Bucca, near Basra in southern Iraq. A major tipping point in the program, say officers, was when detainees began volunteering for the classes being offered. Although al-Qaida detainees and the Takfiris (another group of religious extremists) pressured fellow Iraqis against participating in the very popular religious discussions, over 3,000 detainees have done so. “After Iraqis here learn how to read and write, they can read the Koran themselves for the first time,” says Sheikh Ali, a Sunni who counsels detainees and who, like most of the Iraqis working in the program, declined to have his surname used and must live in an American-guarded compound to avoid reprisals. “I’ve seen detainees break down and cry when they realize that the conduct they thought was sanctioned by God is actually a sin.”

POPSThe Pushkin factor in romantic relationships
Brainy women are probably more sensitive to literary deal breakers than are brainy men. Rare is the guy who’d throw a pretty girl out of bed for revealing her imperfect taste in books.After all, women read more, especially when it comes to fiction. “It’s really great if you find a guy that reads, period,” said Beverly West.“Most of my friends and men in my life are nonreaders,” she said, but “now that you mention it, if I went over to a man’s house and there were those books about life’s lessons learned from dogs, I would probably keep my clothes on.” James Collins, whose new novel, “Beginner’s Greek,” is about a man who falls for a woman he sees reading “The Magic Mountain” on a plane, recalled that after college, he was “infatuated” with a woman who had a copy of “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” on her bedside table. “I basically knew nothing about Kundera, but I remember thinking, ‘Uh-oh; trendy, bogus metaphysics, sex involving a bowler hat’...

POPSBush Blasts Democrats - Spins another Fairy Story Bush must think the American people are stupid. Democrats may have a majority in house and senate but not enough to override a veto. One way to say no to a president who will veto what he does not like is to not give him any funding at all. If you veto this, that is all you get -- no fix, no provision for you to sign, just no funding at all -- so go ahead and veto it but you have just refused the only offer you will be give. I hope congress is reading this.

POPSNo use in homework Definitely what I've always believed- I've only believed in assigning home reading , optional spelling practice, reviewing for tests, and finishing projects that they had some class time to do as well. If a student has been away, or is going on vacation, catch up work is a good idea, otherwise piles of worksheets with no reason makes no sense whatsoever.

POPSWar over Teaching Reading You can find the article here A very interesting read for anyone in education or anyone with children. As someone who develops curriculum and consults in the field it's disheartening to see how the effectiveness of programs is ignored in attempt to gain a homogeneous method. I commend the Madison school district for not selling out.
