Iraqi Who Threw Shoes At Bush To Be Released Early
Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former U.S. President George W. Bush in 2008, will be released from prison in September, three months earlier than his original sentence. Al-Zeidi's act turned him into a folk hero for his criticism of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. While initially sentenced to three years in prison, the court reduced the sentence to one year with time off for good behavior. Al-Zeidi's release is seen as a victory for free and honorable Iraqi media.

Cover
Ketema Ross brutally beat his elderly neighbors with a broom handle in 2007, believing he was acting on orders from the president and CIA to stop a terrorist attack. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent seven years in a high security mental hospital. Most people with mental illness who commit crimes spend much longer incarcerated than if they had committed the same crime with criminal intent. Society understands punishment but does not understand mental illness, making it difficult for those found not guilty by reason of insanity to receive fair treatment.
Black Urban Communities- syllabus cover
This document discusses life in black urban communities from multiple perspectives. It includes a quote from Kenneth B. Clark about the "dark ghetto" reflecting the human condition. It also shares a message from LeAIan Jones urging people not to view "ghetto kids" as different or alien, as they face challenges but are still human. Finally, it discusses Lisa Delpit's experience as one of few black teachers at a school where some felt the older black teachers were repressive and did not allow students' intellects to flourish.
60 Election
Nixon discusses receiving a gift of a cocker spaniel dog named Checkers from a man in Texas after his wife Pat mentioned on the radio that their daughters would like a dog. Nixon says that regardless of what others say, they plan to keep the dog because their kids love it.
Obama Visit
1) President Barack Obama visited Cedar Falls, Iowa to speak about expanding high-speed internet access, drawing both supporters and protesters of his administration.
2) The protesters, organized by a group called the Cedar Valley Patriots for Christ, significantly outnumbered the Obama supporters initially and held signs expressing opposition to policies like Obamacare.
3) While the two sides expressed differing views on a range of issues including Keystone XL, immigration, foreign wars, and tax policy, one protester noted that everyone has a right to voice their opinions as long as it's done appropriately and nonviolently.
John Adams Quotes
George Washington advised Abigail Adams that John Adams' counsel was greatly valued and the quicker they received his advice, the quicker they could all benefit from it. John Dickinson refused to compromise his beliefs when talking to John Adams. John Adams complimented Thomas Jefferson's elegant writing style. John Dickinson argued that one colony declaring war could drag the others into conflict against their will. John Adams criticized John Dickinson's Quaker sensibilities for advocating lying down in surrender rather than fighting for independence. George Washington assured John Adams that an attack on one colony was an attack on all of them. George Washington said he would humbly serve if selected as commander by Congress. King George III accused the colonies of rebellion and treason for declaring
Why Obama loves golf, basketball and all things athletic
President Obama enjoys various athletic activities like golf, basketball, and hiking during his Hawaiian vacations. Golf has become his preferred sport as he has gotten older to avoid injury risks, though he admits his basketball skills are rusty. When golfing with politicians, Obama plays bipartisan matches and the discussions help strengthen working relationships, though some like Senator Chambliss have noted occasions where Obama struggled with his golf game. Obama follows sports casually and enjoys discussing them, with golf, spades, and SportsCenter being among his favored activities to fill downtime.
Grand Jury Reform
The document discusses reforms to the role of prosecutors and grand juries in light of controversies surrounding police killings of unarmed African American men Michael Brown and Eric Garner. It proposes three reforms that could address public concerns about prosecutorial bias and ensure grand juries properly execute their duties, while maintaining needed discretion and confidentiality. The document provides context on the killings and grand jury processes, and argues current proposals could be reactionary rather than useful.
Blackwater and Erik Prince
Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, gave an interview to defend his company's operations that was criticized for being biased. When questioned, Prince would repeat the same points about Blackwater's training or emphasize their efforts while downplaying criticisms. The document concludes that Prince aimed to portray Blackwater as heroic rather than acknowledge their role in attacks that killed Iraqi civilians.
DuBow Digest Germany Edition June 30, 2014
This document provides summaries of several news stories related to Israel, Germany, and Jewish issues:
1) The kidnapping of three Israeli students has political implications and threatens Palestinian unity between Fatah and Hamas. Israel blames Hamas but lacks concrete evidence.
2) There is debate around liberalizing the Jewish conversion process to address declining Jewish population numbers through increased conversion and addressing barriers like long study periods.
3) The new Palestinian unity government includes technocrats but may provide only a superficial unity as divisions between Fatah and Hamas remain with no elections planned.
The judge's list a novel the whistler
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect—a sitting judge—in “one of the best crime reads of the year.… Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense…. Worth staying up all night to finish” (Wall Street Journal).
phaper
The document discusses the four types of homicide: excusable, felonious, justifiable, and praiseworthy. Excusable homicide involves killing with legal authorization from authorities, such as for law enforcement. Felonious homicide is intentional killing without legal justification, like murder. Justifiable homicide includes cases of self-defense or accidental death. Praiseworthy homicide is when a group approves of a killing, such as of a hated leader. In conclusion, the document outlines the four "supreme dictators of the crime world" or categories of homicide.
Witnesses killed
Three reporters who witnessed or investigated the Kennedy assassination died under mysterious circumstances. Bill Hunter was shot and killed by a police officer in Dallas. Tom Howard died of a heart attack shortly after meeting with Jack Ruby. Jim Koethe was killed by a karate chop to the throat in his apartment. The document suggests these and other deaths may have been part of a conspiracy to cover up what really happened in the assassination of President Kennedy.
Watergate witnesses dead
This document summarizes the deaths of 30 individuals connected to the Watergate scandal between 1972-1976. Mae Brussell, an assassination expert, believes the CIA was responsible for the deaths due to the improbable odds of so many connected individuals dying violently within four years. Some of the deaths described include White House staffers, government officials, lawyers, and Mafia members who likely had information about CIA involvement in Watergate and other political assassinations. Brussell suspects the deaths will continue given how many people were involved in the scandal and related covert operations.
Obama's SECRET "KILL" List
President Obama personally oversees a secret "kill list" of individuals targeted for assassination without trial, including American citizens. The President reviews this list with senior advisors every Tuesday and decides who will be targeted in drone strikes. This practice violates U.S. and international law, which require due process or congressional approval for the use of lethal force. The author argues that Obama has established secret national security systems that operate outside the Constitution and rule of law.
The JFK Assassination bkey.ppt
This document provides a detailed summary of the events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. It describes Kennedy's motorcade through Dallas, the shots fired at him from the Texas School Book Depository building, and his being rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. It outlines the initial investigations that led to Lee Harvey Oswald being identified as the suspected assassin and his subsequent killing by Jack Ruby. The document concludes by presenting various conspiracy theories that have been proposed regarding other potential players and motives behind Kennedy's assassination.

Chaos of Reconstruction, Terror After the Civil War
What can we learn by reflecting on the severe difficulties the Union Army Major Merrill faced when attempting to protect the civil rights of newly freed slaves in the Confederate South?
The book, Bloody Shirt, Terror After the Civil War, is not a broad-brush history of Jim Crow and Reconstruction, but rather it is a story of individual communities where Southern citizens, including many white Christians, were quick to support the violent terrorism of the KKK, or Ku Klux Klan night-riders, in the dark days following the Civil War.

We also reflect on:
• Origin of the phrase, Bloody Shirt.
• How Major Merrill sought to protect the civil rights, due process, and black suffrage of freed slaves and freedmen in Yorkville, York Country.
• How the Deep South KKK night-riders were responsible for many beatings, lynchings, and murders.
• How President Grant, under the provisions of the Enforcement Act, suspended habeas corpus, empowering the Union Army to arrest those guilty of lynchings and terrorism against negroes, and ordered the dissolution of the Ku Klux Klan.
• How Southerners did not view the Reconstruction Amendments as a legitimate part of the Constitution.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power.
