AGI News On - GAZA: AID SHIP RAMMED BY ISRAELIS REACHES LEBANON
(AGI) - Tiro (Lebanon), 30 Dec. - The humanitarian aid ship 'Dignity' has managed to reach land at Tiro, a city in southern Lebanon. The ship had been intercepted and rammed several hours before by an Israeli patrol boat as it tried to get to the Gaza Strip to deliver a further 3.5 tons of basic goods, which were mostly medicines intended for the population of the Palestinian enclave which has undergone continuous bombing raids from Israel. The ship, which is about 20 metres long, flying the British flag and belonging to the pacifist 'Free Gaza' movement which is based in the United States, was escorted to port by a unit of the Lebanese Navy and several fishing boats, which were flying Lebanese or local Shiite party flags, including that of Hezbollah. The boat was greeted at port by an enormous crowd, including both Lebanese and Palestinian onlookers, who greeted the ship's arrival with a cheer. All 16 members of the crew, from various countries, were unhurt but the 'Dignity' is not now able to sail: in fact a large tear was visible in the keel as a result of the collision, and according to sources from the humanitarian group, quite a lot of water came onboard after the patrol boat's attack, which also included several volleys of bullets from automatic weapons. This last detail, has however been denied by the spokesman of the Israeli foreign ministry, Yigal Palmor, who admitted that there had been ''physical contact'' between the Coast Guard's boat and the ship, which set out yesterday evening from Cyprus. The Cypriot State radio has reported that the country's government intends to ask for explanations from Israel for what happened, partly because there were also three Cypriots on board, including Eleni Theocharous, an MP

Senior moments, also dubbed by New York Times Op-Ed columnist David Brooks as being "hippocampically challenged," are a normal part of aging. Such lapses in memory, according to this new research, could be blamed, at least in part, on rising blood glucose levels as we age. The findings suggest that exercising to improve blood sugar levels could be a way for some people to stave off the normal cognitive decline that comes with age.

Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2006-07
The 2006-07 study on distance education collected information on the prevalence, types, delivery, policies, and acquisition or development of distance education courses and programs. Findings indicate that during the 2006-07 academic year, two-thirds (66 percent) of 2-year and 4-year Title IV degree-granting postsecondary institutions reported offering online, hybrid/blended online, or other distance education courses for any level or audience. Sixty-five percent of the institutions reported college-level credit-granting distance education courses, and 23 percent of the institutions reported noncredit distance education courses. Sixty-one percent of 2-year and 4-year institutions reported offering online courses, 35 percent reported hybrid/blended courses, and 26 percent reported other types of college-level credit-granting distance education courses. Together, distance education courses accounted for an estimated 12.2 million enrollments (or registrations). Asynchronous (not simultaneous or real-time) Internet-based technologies were cited as the most widely used technology for the instructional delivery of distance education courses; they were used to a large extent in 75 percent and to a moderate extent in 17 percent of the institutions that offered college-level credit-granting distance education courses. The most common factors cited as affecting distance education decisions to a major extent were meeting student demand for flexible schedules, providing access to college for students who would otherwise not have access, making more courses available, and seeking to increase student enrollment.

Study: Facial expressions of emotion are innate, not learned “Facial expressions of emotion are hardwired into our genes, according to a study published today in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The research suggests that facial expressions of emotion are innate rather than a product of cultural learning. The study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that sighted and blind individuals use the same facial expressions, producing the same facial muscle movements in response to specific emotional stimuli.”

NEW YORK (AP) - It's the latest story that touched, and betrayed, the world.
"Herman Rosenblat and his wife are the most gentle, loving, beautiful people," literary agent Andrea Hurst said Sunday, anguishing over why she, and so many others, were taken by Rosenblat's story of love born on opposite sides of a barbed-wire fence at a concentration camp.
"I question why I never questioned it. I believed it; it was an incredible, hope-filled story."
On Saturday, Berkley Books canceled Rosenblat's memoir, "Angel at the Fence," after he acknowledged that he and his wife did not meet, as they had said for years, at a sub-camp of Buchenwald, where she allegedly sneaked

More than 33.1% of families in Beit Lahya have 10 or more family members and live in extreme poverty. They rely on coupons for food and can’t afford to adequately clothe and educate their children.
While nearly every household in Beit Lahya has access to water, the quality is so poor that 95% of households have to buy their drinking water. Many children are affected by parasites and diarrhoea, which is adequately treated in only 24% of cases.
Mild stunting (low height for age) affects almost 13% of children, moderate stunting 8.46%, and severe stunting 4.83%. “My children have forgotten the shape and smell of cooked meat and chicken", said a mother in one focus group.
Perhaps even more alarming is the poor psychosocial well-being of children, with bedwetting and nightmares featuring heavily in focus group findings – both linked with fear and anxiety as a result of the ongoing conflict. "Most children with nightmares experience lack of concentration and attention deficit", shared a teacher in a focus group session.

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - Late at night, the neighbors saw a little girl at the kitchen sink of the house next door. They watched through their window as the child rinsed plates under the open faucet. She wasn't much taller than the counter and the soapy water swallowed her slender arms.
To put the dishes away, she climbed on a chair.
But she was not the daughter of the couple next door doing chores. She was their maid.
Shyima was 10 when a wealthy Egyptian couple brought her from a poor village in northern Egypt to work in their California home. She awoke before dawn and often worked past midnight to iron their clothes, mop the marble floors and dust the family's crystal. She earned $45 a month working up to 20 hours a day. She had no breaks during the day and no days off.

this is a war of history, the Israelis should realize that they are occupying the Palestinian lands. As any home citizen will do, they defend their country, and try to take back whats theirs. As for Israel, they attack Gaza for what? defense? its not even your country in the first place, killing hundreds of women and children, destroying mosques and hospitals, you call that fighting terrorism?

The attack has uncovered the ugly face of Israel and its lone supporter the USA. The Bush administration, which not only has failed to condemn Israel for the attack but also done just opposite, did not take lessons from the shoe throwing in Baghdad. How funny is that the USA condemned Palestanians (or Hamas) when the terrorist state of Israel killed over 250 Palestanians.

Gazans are simply trying to defend their land, as are all Palestinians... Look at the population maps of Palestinians in Israel. They are being pushed into small towns (like nazi Ghettos/Death Camps) with all supplies cut off. If you had your electricity/food/water/gasoline taken away, wouldn't you try to defend yourself?? Gazans launched one or two missiles into Israeli occupied cities with NO israeli fatalities and now 280+ people are dead, mostly innocent probably, with more deaths promised

We did all in our power to overlook the missiles that were shot from Gaza directly into Israelis towns and cities. our civilans were injured and killed but despite our requests - Hammas kept on firing and the world did nothing. Now we finally hit non-civilian targets and you woke up??? why didn't you cover the Kassam missles that were fired for months and years from Gaza despite the total evacuation Israel performed?

Calling Israel actions "Massacre" and saying there is an humanitarian crises is just calling "wolf, wolf". 3 years ago Israel left Gaza strip, all troops are out and all settlement were evacuated - in a very high political price. Gaza has Autonomy and instead of prospering (it is an Israel interest as well) they continue to arm theme self, and continued to fire rockets with extended ranges each time. There are humanitary convoys that enter Gaza from Kerem-Shalom gate - even at this hour.

How can you even defend whats going in? They have reported about what happening in the occupied parts of Palestine, 1 person died. For that women, children, elderly and families have been destroyed and savagely shattered. If every person who lost a family member would kill a jew according to an eye for an eye(which you believe in), you would have 280 dead on your side, so just shut up.

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Grief and fear in Gaza “BBC journalist and Gaza resident Hamada Abu Qammar describes the impact of the current wave of Israeli airstrikes against Hamas targets.”
I spoke to one man, a civilian, and also a 14-year-old boy who were injured in an airstrike on a police station in the east of Gaza City this morning.
The man said he had been going to work in a clinic when he heard the sound of planes and turned back. But after that he cannot remember what happened - he just woke up injured, with wounds in his hand, leg and stomach.
The teenage boy had blood on his head and was in a lot of pain. He could not even remember his own name. "I don't even know where I am," he said to me.
I saw a body too, in the emergency room, with a stick of wood stuck through the chest.

Israeli planes are still flying over Gaza and they have just targeted another Hamas [security] compound in the middle of the Gaza Strip, in a place called Khan Younis.We can see from our office here in Gaza, in the middle of Gaza City, ambulances are still evacuating the injured from buildings and school kids are trying to find secure places.
People who were going to their work were turned back and went home, and most of the residents in Gaza have been ordered by the Ministry of Health to stay indoors.
The mosques in Gaza are calling the people here to go to the hospitals and to donate blood. There is no room in the hospitals as far as we've heard from Hamas sources to treat the people.
No safe places
It's a very bad situation... There were Israeli aeroplanes everywhere, hitting everywhere. You could see smoke from north to south, from west to east. The people are really in a panic. The main object for the people now is to find a secure place to secure their family.
It's hard to find a secure place in Gaza. Gaza has no shelters, it has no safe places. The Hamas security compounds are in the middle of the city - it's not the kind of place where you see compounds outside the cities.
I have witnessed one of the compounds - which is 20m away from my house - I was standing on the balcony and I have seen the Israeli airplanes hitting the place.
Some of my balcony was damaged and my kid was injured and it's a very, very serious situation here in Gaza, the people can't do anything except stay indoors.

S&E doctorates totaled 31,801 (66.1% of all doctorates) in 2007, an increase of 6.5% over 2006 and 16.6% since 1998. All science fields except chemistry and psychology reached record numbers of awards in 2007, with the highest number being awarded in the biological sciences (7,173, or 14.9% of all doctorates). In chemistry, awards decreased by 1.5% in 2007 but have increased overall by 5.1% since 1998. The number of psychology awards increased 1.1% over 2006 but have declined 10.3% since 1998, from 3,673 to 3,294. Awards in engineering increased 7.8% in 2007 and rose 30.8% over the last decade, from 5,921 in 1998 to 7,745 in 2007. Every engineering field but mechanical engineering reported record numbers of awards in 2007.

full article hereSince 1995, America has grown faster while enjoying lower unemployment than Europe. Adding to Europe's growth angst are worries about aging populations, its inability to adapt to technical change, the burden of its welfare state, and the pains of labour market deregulation. A particular worry is that Europe is losing its most talented workers to the US. Stories of succesfull expatriates in Silicon Valley and top academic departments abound. European politicians and businesses complain that they cannot compete with the US due to taxes and regulations (François-Poncet 1999, Mahroum 1999).
Is this brain drain for real? While Becker et al. (2002) look at data on the brain drain from Italy to the rest of Europe, this column draws on my research using US census data for 1990 and 2000 to measure the characteristics of European expatriates and see how they fare in the US labour market (Saint-Paul 2004, 2008).

A team of biologists at Lebanese American University estimates that 1 in 17 persons around the Mediterranean carries genetic markers distinctive to the ancient Phoenician people who resided in what is now Lebanon. The Phoenicians spread out in a trade diaspora two millennia ago, establishing colonies from Spain to Cyprus. The team also found that one third of Lebanese have the markers for Phoenician descent, and that these are spread evenly through the population, among both Christians and Muslims. In fact, all Lebanese have broadly similar sets of genetic markers. The lead researcher commented, 'Whether you take a Christian village in the north of Lebanon or a Muslim village in the south, the DNA make-up of its residents is likely to be identical . . .'"read full article

“Our investment strategy is based on the fact that innate psychological biases distort investors’ perceptions of stock value,” said Richard Peterson, managing director. “We find misvalued stocks by examining investors’ and executives’ language in SEC filings, executive conference calls and stock message boards. We have performed extensive software development, trade back testing, and portfolio simulation. Our long-short strategy is based on our discoveries of the psychological factors that predict stock price movement.”

Dallas post office receives around 5000 Santa letters each year, Dallas Morning News reports.
Dear Santa Clause,
I would like for you to give my family a present. Like for my mom is a camera case ... my dad wants a kayak. ... And I would like to give my dad a new job. My dog would also like a pooper-scooper.
From Maya

Hi Santa.
Santa, whatever my kids can get for xmas they will be happy because I am not able this year to buy anything.
Wanda

Dear Santa,
I also have one Christmas wish. I wish my mother gets better and doesn't do drugs anymore. I love her and don't want her to die.
Love you very much, Elijah
•
Dear Santa,
We kind of need your help this year because mom and dad are having trouble buying us anything this year. Thanks.
From the Barrons
•
Dear Santa,
The reason I am writing this letter in September is because I don't want any Christmas presents this Christmas because I feel like I don't deserve any. So please don't give me any please.
Write back soon, Rachel
But you may give me one present.
•
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a black lab or yellow lab. I don't want anything else except the puppy. Pleas, pleas, pleas, pleas, pleas get me the puppy. Make sure it has had it shots and doesn't bark a lot. And that it is trained not to go to the restroom in the house. A puppy is all I want.
Love, Katherine

Dear Santa Clause,
I would like a hair straightener and a hair curler. Why? Simply because I want to look GOOD. Well I already look good. I guess you could say I want to look HOTTER.
Sincerely, Kelly

Dear Santa,
Please don't give me much for Christmas. There is a boy or girl who needs more love and deserves more than me. Thank you Santa Claus.

Dear Santa Claus,
I've been doing good but I don't know what I should do about us moving to California. What should I do? Because I want mom and dad to be happy, but I want to be happy too.

In recent years, the Internet and other information and communication technologies have had great impacts on almost all aspects of human life, locally and globally. The extant of these impacts can be seen in the ubiquity of the use of the prefix 'e-', as in e-commerce, e-business, e-government, e-democracy, e-science, e-learning, e-entertainment and so on. Thanks to the cheaper prices and ease of use of these technologies, more and more people are able to access digital contents, as part of a mass audience, and more and more people are able to create and publish content off their own initiative. The Web has moved from being a one-way communication channel extending traditional media, to a complex "peer-to-peer" communication space with a blurred author/audience distinction and new ways to create, share and use knowledge in a social way. This establishes new global fora, started by a few, and sustained by millions of local acts. This change of paradigm is currently profoundly transforming most areas of our lives: our interactions with other people, our relationships, ways of gathering, creating and disseminating information, ways of developing social norms, opinions, attitudes and even legal aspects as well as ways of working and doing business. It also raises a strong need for theoretical, empirical and applied studies related to how people may interact on the Web, how they actually do so and what new possibilities and challenges are emerging in the individual, business and technology dimensions. It is not the first time in the history of social media that a new technology becomes suddenly available to a wider group of people due to a specific social, economical and historical context.
The last time something similar happened, the availability and diffusion of the printing press, according to many authors, the opportunities for the rise of modern society emerged. We are probably facing a similar new extraordinary change that we can barely describe today. According to the law of accelerated return identified by Ray Kurzweil, this change is taking place at a much faster speed than before. This is a major challenge for social science in a world where 'internet time' now runs at a clock speed several orders of magnitude faster than that of academic research.
In order to explore these possibilities and tackle the challenges, a more interdisciplinary scientific approach is required. The visionary founding fathers of cybernetics and systems theory urged for this new vision of the sciences as soon as they started working on teleological machines interacting with human beings during the Second World War. Not surprisingly, today, Sir Tim Berners Lee (the inventor of the World Wide Web) is developing a vision for new field of interdisciplinary study called Web Science. The goal of this conference is therefore to bring researchers and practitioners together to explore within a sociocybernetic approach the issues and challenges related to social aspects of the new communication technologies and especially the Web.

"In everyday social exchanges, being mean to people has a lot more impact than being nice, research at the University of Chicago has shown.{....}
Feeling slighted can have a bigger difference on how a person responds than being the recipient of perceived generosity, even if the net value of the social transaction is the same, the research on reciprocity—giving and taking—shows.
'Negative reciprocity, or taking, escalates,' said Boaz Keysar, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago and lead author of the paper 'Reciprocity is Not Give and Take: Asymmetric Reciprocity to Positive and Negative Acts,' published in the December issue of Psychological Science. The study was based on giving-and-taking games conducted on students and people in downtown Chicago."
The study shows various social exchanges differ from those in the marketplace, where goods are bought and sold, Keysar said. "Acts of giving are perceived as more generous in social exchanges than objectively identical acts of taking," Keysar said. "Taking tends to escalate. Reciprocity appears to operate on an exchange rate that assigns value to the meaning of events, in a fashion that encourages pro-social exchanges."Read full article here

"Rather than try to intersperse this topic amongst the other blog posts, I think it will be most useful to record my thoughts in one place. A basic understanding of the history and culture of the Middle East is imperative to us in the West as we face the challenges presented by a resurgent and distinctly fundamentalist Islam. It is important to understand the formation of this new movement and its variants, as well as its roots in history, religion, and culture."

"It would seem that at least one Iraqi journalist has had enough. He took off his shoes and threw them at President Bush at a news conference held during a surprise “victory tour” visit to Iraq. It seems that the journalist had lost members of his family to the war, had been kidnapped at one point, had spend considerable time reporting on the violence in Sadr City. Journalists who know the individual say that he just snapped. Were he an American serviceman, he might well have been diagnosed with PTSD. But the act of throwing shoes at the American President and, as the Secret Service wrestled him to the ground and hustled him away, calling out, “You dog!” needs to be viewed through the lens of Middle Eastern values and cultural mores.Remember the images of Iraqis beating the downed statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes? Well, in Arab culture showing the soles of your feet to another is is considered extremely bad form. Watch carefully, and you’ll not see Arab leaders sitting with their legs crossed in such a way as to expose the soles of their shoes to others. We read body language as positive if western leaders are pictured with their legs crossed toward each other. Not so in the cultures of the Middle East. Even in photos of Bedouins sitting in their traditional tents, it’s extremely rare to see the soles of their feet or sandals. So, for an Iraqi journalist to throw shoes at the current American President is an insult of the highest order. Furthermore, dogs are viewed as unclean animals, not as members of the family, so to call another a dog is also highly insulting." read more

14 clubs and a big group of AUB students took the initiative to launch a campaign to bring attention to what has been going on in Gaza strip because of the siege upon it. The Gaza strip, south of Palestine, has been under the most brutal Israeli siege for months now. Electricity has been cut out for weeks, food and medicine have not been allowed in Gaza for a long time, and finally hospitals, schools and even bakeries are closing down because Israel has blocked fuel and basic life necessities from entering Gaza. The campaign will host a week of events from Monday, December 15th, to Friday, December 19th. Please spread the word and join us to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza against the inhumane siege.
- Monday 15: Silent sit in at Main Gate (12:30 p.m.)

Abstract (quote)
Higher education is changing rapidly in the Middle East with the establishment of new U.S. campuses in the Gulf Emirates and the new King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. And at a time when Arab opinion of U.S. policies has never been lower, the demand for U.S.-style, English-language higher education in the Middle East has never been greater. These changes are crucial to the future economic, societal and political development in the region.
Speaker: David D. Arnold, President, The American University

from AlJazeera:
"While politicians struggle to make peace, the human cost of the Middle East conflict is the subject of a play which is proving hugely popular in Israel. 'The Return to Haifa" tells the story of a Palestinian family whose son is adopted by a Jewish couple when they are forced to leave Haifa during the 1948 war."
Aljazeera's Adam Pines reports on the impact the play stirred amongst its viewers.

"today’s countries are extremely diverse in terms of the importance of immigration. The fraction of today’s population that has ancestors who lived in their present country in 1500 are:
- 3% for US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand;
- 94% to 98% for Southeast Asia, South Asia, and East Asia;
- 94% for Europe on average;
- 89% for North Africa and West and Central Asia;
- 65% for Mexico and Central America;
- 20% for South America;
- 0%, for the Caribbean.
... the origin of a particular nation’s population today. For example:
- About 4.4% of the current US population’s ancestors lived in France in 1500,
- About 8.5% lived in Ireland,
- About 1.1% in Senegal, and
- About 0.9% in China.
... it also tells us that:
- about 97.9% of the ancestors of today’s Indians lived in India in 1500,
- about 77% of the ancestors of today’s Singaporeans lived in China,
- about 45% of the ancestors of today’s Fijians lived in India.
Why should we care about the apparently powerful influence that population origins exert on country and sub-national incomes levels?
First, if this influence is indeed as significant as our findings suggest it to be, then efforts to sort out the roles that geographic, institutional, and other factors play in explaining income levels and growth rates may produce misleading results unless we properly control for it.
Second, the influence of population origins suggests that there is something that human families and communities transmit from generation to generation -- perhaps a form of economic culture, a set of attitudes or beliefs, or informally transmitted capabilities -- that is of at least similar importance to economic success as are more widely recognized factors like quantities of physical capital and even human capital in the narrower sense of formal schooling. If we understand which culturally transmitted factors are important and what contributes to their emergence and propagation, we might be able to design policy interventions that could help less successful groups and countries to close their developmental gaps."
