Academics and Ayers: ?Whatsoever Things are True?.?
2008-10-19 13:32:00 -By John Armor This is now the 14th year of these weekly column. I?ve never used a Bible verse in these secular sermons. Here?s the exception to that rule. Today?s text is from Phillippians 4:8. The King James Version is preferred for the beauty of its language: ?Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever ...

40 Years Later--Remembering RFK
2008-06-03 05:07:00 Posting on the FightingBob.com, Steve Argo--a high school teacher in Baraboo--writes a timely article about the living legacy of RFK--"Our RFK":"Forty years ago this week, Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed while shaking the hands of kitchen workers at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He was just 42 years old. Had he lived, he very likely would have gone on to capture the Democratic Party nomination for president and quite possibly the White House in November 1968. As it was, his absence during the final months of that campaign was a catastrophic setback for the forces of peace, racial reconciliation and social justice."His life deserves wider appreciation." . . . RFK's name is busily crammed into a chapter full of 1960s angst: Dallas, Pleiku, My Lai, Selma, Woodstock, LSD, Watts, Tet. He appears - and then suddenly disappears - somewhere between James Earl Ray and the 1968 Democratic National Convention. I'm guessing the typical high school student knows about as much abou...

Cambridge academics shed new light on the Sun
2008-04-13 11:04:00 New insights into solar activity have been revealed thanks to research from a group of Cambridge academics. The work comes from the Atomic Astrophysics Group (AAG) at the University’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, who have been collaborating on an international solar mission, the Hinode project, with a number of space agencies. Their research involves detailed analyses of regions of intense activity in the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona. Through examination of the ultraviolet radiation given off by these areas, known as active regions, they have found a variety of dynamic activities, including jets and flows of gas with speeds of up to 150 kilometres per second. Temperatures within the corona are extremely high (in excess of one million degrees), whereas the solar surface is much cooler at about 6000 degrees. AAG has been seeking to understand why the corona is so hot a...

Fieldtrip Day 6: Lopburi
2008-03-10 04:05:00 The last day of our fieldtrip was another early morning. We were sure to get an early start so we could get back to Chiang Mai earlier.Lopburi (formerly known as Lavo or Lawo during the Dvaravati period) was one of the important ancient towns of the Khmers from the 10th-13th century, but it probably dates back to prehistoric times. Many Khmer ruins can still be seen in and around the town. Later, Lopburi would come under the control of the Kingdoms of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya. During the Ayutthaya period, King Narai the Great established Lopburi as the second capital when he built a new palace with the help of French architects on the east bank of the Lopburi river . Most of the architecture of that time reflects the mixture of Thai and Western styles. After being nearly deserted for a number of years, the city was enriched again when King Mongkut of the present Rattanakosin period renovated the King Narai Palace in 1856. Additionally, in 1938 Field Marshal Phibunsongkhram began a pl...
Fieldtrip Day 5: Nakorn Ratchasima, Prasart Phanomrung, Prasart Muang Tam,
2008-03-09 16:02:00 My sources were correct, the breakfast at Sima Thani Hotel was delicious. That made getting up at 6:30 a.m. a little easier.Our earlier morning stop was at the Shrine of Thao Suranaree in front of Pratu Chumphon (the western gate of the old city). This 19th century heroine was the wife of the deputy governor of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand at the time of King Anouvong's rebellion of 1827. Thao Suranaree, together with a band of other local women, managed to defeat a Laotian invasion by getting the Lao soldiers drunk. Originally named Khunying Mo, she was given the name Thao Suranaree by King Rama III in recognition of her bravery. The statue at the Shrine was designed by Phra Thewaphinimmit (1888-1942) and sculpted by Silpa Bhirasri. It was erected next to the Pratu Chumphon on January 5, 1934.~the shines begins to rise over the statue of Thao Suranaree as people offer respect in the early morning~~Tham, Bret, Krathai, me (and Pat in the back) pose for a group shot~On the schedule f...
Fieldtrip Day 4: Chanthaburi and Nakorn Rachasima
2008-03-08 16:36:00 After an early start to our morning we had to say goodbye to the Gulf of Thailand. A short drive later put us in Chanthaburi, the province that borders Trat. Chantaburi has had a long history and has been greatly influenced by colonial and western forces. In 1893 French troops occupied Chanthaburi, returning it in 1905 when Thailand gave up ownership of the western part of Cambodia. A significant minority of Chanthaburi citizens are native Vietnamese, who came there in three waves--first in the 19th century during an anti-Catholic persecution in Cochin China; a second wave came in the 1920s to 1940s fleeing from French Indochina; and a third one after the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975. Chanthaburi has also been the seat of Diocese of Chanthaburi since 1944.Our first stop was The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which is the largest church in Thailand. A first missionary chapel was built at the site in 1711. The chapel was enlarged and rebuilt four times during the nine...
Fieldtrip Days 2 and 3: Phitsanulok, Trat, Hat Lek
2008-03-07 14:45:00 We got up early on Thursday morning so we could explore a couple of sites in Phitsanulok. Our first stop was Wat Prasri Ratana Mahathat Waramahavihara (also referred to as Wat Yai) which was built in 1357 AD during the reign of King Maha Thammaradscha I of Sukhothai. This temple is located on the bank of the Nan River near the Naresuan Bridge and houses a golden sculpture of the Buddha called the Phra Buddha Chinnarat. Many Thai people consider it to be the most beautiful Buddha portrait in Thailand. It depicts Buddha in the posture of submission.Our next stop was the Shrine of King Naresuan the Great who was born in Phitsanulok in 1555. King Naresuan the Great came to rule the Kingdom of Ayutthaya and extended its territory to the furthest reaches to date. 1591, remembers one of King Naresuan's greatest feats. The Burmese started to attack Ayutthaya, but the offensive was called off when the Burmese Crown Prince Minchit Sra was killed by King Naresuan in personal combat on elephan...
Fieldtrip Day 1: Si Satachanalai, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok
2008-03-05 15:54:00 At 5:45 a.m. I was waiting outside my apartment building for a university van to arrive. A couple of barefoot monks made there way down Suthep Road in the morning darkness. The security guard from my building spotted me and came over to spark up a conversation. I told him I was going a Fieldtrip with other students from my program at Chiang Mai University. We were on our way to Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Trat, Chanthaburi, Korat, Phimai, and Lopburi. This six day journey would lead us through 4 of the 5 regions in Thailand. We would see mangroves and ruins; markets and temples; elephants and monkeys. He wished me well and my travels, and I quickly ran into 7-11 to get a juicebox.By 6:00 a.m. the van had arrived and I climbed into the back row. Before long I was joined by the rest of my traveling partners. We had a van of 8: 3 U.S. students, 2 Thai students, the CYIT Program Advisor, the CYIT Program Secretary, and the driver. South was the direction of our travels and we set out for ou...

Academics develop the exact scientific formula for finding true love!
2008-02-04 11:52:00 Finding a perfect match has now moved beyond astrology and star signs, for Oxford University academics have developed an exact scientific formula that will be put to use by the website eHarmony.com.au to find the most compatible match for a person. This dating service uses the patented Compatibility Matching System to find appropriate partners for its members based on their psychological profiles. The website will soon be launched in Australia. This project is one of the biggest of its kind and involves the study of over more than 700 Australian married couples to develop a country-specific matchmaking formula. In order to have a first date sanctioned, prospective couples should be matched on "29 key dimensions" such as emotional temperament, social style, intelligence and spiritual beliefs. According to eHarmony psychologist Dr Galen Buckwalter, the successful criteria guarantees that the couples will have almost an 80 per cent probability of ...

Leading Global Academics Create New...
2008-01-17 13:24:00 Leading Global Academics Create New Corporate Sustainability Approach to Build Innovation and Global Collaboration Recommended approach balances needs of investors, society and the environment SAN JOSE, Calif., and LONDON - Organisations that wish to grow profitably in the future must focus their efforts to benefit shareholders, society and the environment simultaneously. Concentrating on any one of these areas at the expense of the other two may compromise a business's long-term success. A focus on sustainability provides the best means to implement this triple-pronged strategy simultaneously, enabling organisations to innovate, differentiate themselves and succeed. These are the key conclusions of a new paper published today by a group of international academic experts on corporate responsibility and sustainability, which offers a new approach to how sustainabiity can build innovation and global collaboration across organisations.

The Academics of Homecoming
2007-12-21 06:35:00 Last time we saw each other was some fifteen years after I transfered to Manila. That was during the town fiesta in Y2K.We never really got around to talking that much since we only bumped accidentally into each other on one of the busier streets of the muggy town of Larena.Yesterday, we finally had the time to ourselves and boy was it as zany as it used to back then in the early eighties...you know, that acneed epoch in life when you don't know what to make of the irrepressible strain of Little River Band's "Mom, I'm Coming Home" as the rising pig-tailed Sharon Cuneta all too saccharinely sings "Cross My Heart". And then there's your burgeoning sense of wonder why your heart skips a beat each time you're near an equally bepimpled someone...All my friend remembers is that we really connected when it comes to laughing matters. A look, a sigh would send us both to laughing fits."Ayy, kasadya gyud nato!" (We were truly ballistically wacky.)"Bali sa, hapit isuspend atong section fo...

Loy Krathong Weekend in Ban Pa Pai
2007-11-30 04:47:00 Saturday, November 24, 2007I arrived in Baan Pa Pai around noon, and the first place I went was Paa Duak?s kuay thiaw restaurant. My first impression was that there were significantly more people in the village than during my previous visits. The restaurant was filled with people--a table of adults and the rest were young adults around my age. I assumed that they had returned home from college for the weekend to celebrate Loy Krathong in their home village.In Thai, Loy means "to float away." A Krathong is a small raft constructed from a banana tree trunk and elaborately decorated with banana leafs, flowers, incense, and candles. On the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar--which usually falls sometime in November--people celebrate the annual Loy Krathong festival throughout Thailand. Khom Loys or "floating laterns" are also a big part of the celebration in Northern Thailand. The floating away of these devices is symbolic of letting go of all one'...
Loy Krathong Weekend in Baan Pa Pai: Day 2
2007-11-25 16:04:00 I slept until about 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. Then I was informed that the college students were meeting at the community center before they returned to Bangkok. When I arrived most of the students were at the bamboo house. They posed for a picture with a number of the community elders. Then, students broke off into small groups and planted trees in a number of different places.~villagers walking over the canal to the bamboo house~~students and elders in front of the bamboo house~~girls planting a tree~Next, the students made their way towards the community center. Mae Luang (the women village leader who I met in my last visit) was tying white strings around the arms of each college student. As she tied, she chanted quietly in Pali. She asked if I would like one, and I gratefully accepted.~An receiving a white string from Mae Luang~Then, the students took a seat in the community center. Most of the college students sat on the left side. Their parents, siblings, and other village y...

A Weekend Home Stay at Baan Pa Pai
2007-11-12 04:33:00 Friday, October 26, 2007My trip to Baan Pa Pai got off to a rough start. I arrived at Chiang Mai University, and found out that Aacaan Siddhinat would not be able to accompany me to the village like we had planned. So, I made my way to Talaat Warorot, a market located to the east of Chiang Mai city cetner, at about 11:15 a.m. When I arrived I told one of the Rot Luang (yellow car) drivers that I wanted to go to Mu Baan Pa Pai in Doi Saket?-he was intent on charging me 500 baht! On our way to the village, the truck I was in crashed into something. The sound of the scream sounded like a dog. 10 Thai people scrambled out of the back of the truck-?I was the last one out. I looked to my left and saw a girl lying face down on the pavement next to a motorcycle. She turned out to only have minor injuries, but no one seemed to be helping her. I had her sit down and found some ice to put on her leg. Before long, another Rot Luang came by and we crammed in. I took the truck to Doi S...
A Weekend Homestay at Baan Pa Pai: Day 2
2007-10-27 15:15:00 At 5:15 a.m. Nang Aew and I made our way out of the house. We rode our bikes to the three-way-intersection near the village entrance and stopped there. I was still unsure exactly what was happening. As we waited, village children began to congregate?-boys waited in one place and girls waited in another. By 5:45 a.m. our group had reached 9 girls and 15 boys (ranging from ages 9 to 17?-and myself at 22!). We hopped on our bikes with the moon still in the sky. We rode through the city gate and towards Wat Pa Pai. However, to my confusion, we kept biking past the temple. I found out that we were biking to Doi Saket, the district capital. One of the boys estimated that it was 9 or 10 kilometers away. During the 45 minutes bike trip, the sky changed colors from shades of dark blue to purple to pink to light blue. Rice paddies, crowing roosters, rolling mountains, and slumbering water buffaloes provided the backdrop for our journey.We arrived at Doi Saket around 6:30 a.m. and p...

First Visit to Baan Pa Pai
2007-09-22 09:24:00 I visited Baan Pa Pai for the first time today. This is where I will be conducting my fieldwork research this school year. So, I was pretty excited to go.Just a little information on Baan Pa Pai:- the approximate population is 700 people- since 2000, Baan Pa Pai has operated a sufficiency economy- the Garlic Factory in Baan Pa Pai was awarded the One Tambon One Product (OTOP) Product Champion award in 2003 and 2004- the village is located in Doi Saket district in Chiang Mai province in Northern ThailandI had a chance to meet a few villagers today. I saw the Garlic Factory and Wat Pa Pai. Unfortunately the temple Abbot was not there today.

Chiang Mai University
2007-09-11 08:20:00 I have begun attending classes. Well...actually, I don't really have "class" per se. Instead, I meet with Professors to talk about topics and then read a bunch of books. Pretty sweet, huh? Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I have been on campus for a little while now, and I thought you might be interested in seeing some pictures of Chiang Mai University. The campus is quite beautiful. It is located at the foot of a mountain, Doi Suthep. Also, there is a reservoir on the edge of campus, Ang Kaew Resevoir. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of either of these. Oh well, enjoy the pictures I do have. :)~a Spirit House located at the main entrance of the University~~Dhamma Hall, located at the main entrance of the University~~a Lotus Flower coming out of the pond in front of Dhamma Hall~~the Elephant--a revered symbol in Thailand--holding the Flag of Thailand and the Flag of the Monarchy in front of Dhamma Hall~~Buddha images located at Dhamma Hall~

Those Wacky Liberal Academics [Uncertain Principles]
2007-08-10 10:49:00 Via Inside Higher Ed, the Center for Responsive Politics has a new report on political contributions by academics So far in the ‘08 election cycle, people who work for institutions of higher education have given more than $7 million to federal candidates, parties and committees, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Nearly 60 percent of that money has gone to presidential candidates. The industry’s favorite, Barack Obama, has raked in nearly $1.5 million in the campaign’s first six months, followed by Hillary Clinton with almost $940,000. Seventy-six percent of the education industry’s total federal contributions for ‘08 has gone to Democrats, on par with the industry’s partisanship in the last two election cycles.
