VIEW: The Muslim predicament III —Munir Attaullah
Up until some 400 hundred years ago, most people viewed the then relatively dim and incoherent light of their knowledge and experience through the prism of religion.
As this light gradually increased in intensity, and the glass surface developed the inevitable scratches, that prism became what physicists call a diffraction grating; history is testimony to those religion-induced characteristic patterns of alternating patches of human darkness and luminosity.
But when a glass surface is scratched and polished in a particularly precise manner I am talking about a focusing lens it has the astonishing capability of harnessing and delivering the latent energy of incoherent light in a precise and immensely powerful way. Persisting with my analogy, reason served as the focusing lens that powered the Enlightenment in Europe.
Sharing A Vision With Those Who Need It Most
Newtown Bee readers were introduced to Jennifer Staple last September, when she was one of 30 young leaders profiled in the book Our Time Is Now: Young People Changing the World. The Newtown native is also the founder, CEO, and president of Unite For Sight, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that addresses preventable blindness. Unite For Sight (UFS) has already helped more than 400,000 people in 25 countries since being formed in Ms Staple's dorm while she was studying at Yale University. Now Ms Staple has been selected for a Brick Award, which comes with a $10,000 award for her organization. Jennifer and the 11 other 2007 Brick Awards winners will be honored during an awards ceremony in New York City next week. The Brick Awards honor young leaders who identified a problem in their community and then "got up off the couch and did something about it," say organizers at Do Something, the group that gives out the awards.
Liviu Librescu: Holocaust survivor blocked shooter, letting ...
“It wouldn't amaze me he would do such a thing," fellow engineering professor Muhammad Hajj said. “He's that kind of person, willing to take care of others, protect others." Hajj, the engineering faculty organization president, was not inside Norris Hall on Monday — a classroom building turned crime scene where the majority of the day's 33 killings took place. He has no firsthand knowledge of what his colleague did that day. But Hajj remembers meeting Librescu 15 years ago — and many of the days in between. He always greeted Hajj with “good morning," “good afternoon" or “how's your day going?" When he spotted Hajj in his office across the hall, Librescu always smiled. Since Librescu's death, Hajj has heard from colleagues at campuses around the world, expressing condolences for the survivor who died violently on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Mother's survival inspires ball player to enjoy life
Everyone has one person that is a true inspiration in his or her life. One special human that has beat the odds and overcome the obstacles to have a normal, productive life. For Delta State University senior softball pitcher and Waco, Texas, native Randa Blenden, that incredible person is her mother Dawn. Dawn, 43, is a cancer survivor. She suffered from T Cell Leukemia during her junior high and high school years. Dawn went through chemotherapy to treat the cancer and wasn't given much of a chance to live through the ordeal. However, Dawn was able to win her battle with the cancer by the time she entered adulthood. "Rather directly or indirectly, she's been a big support in my life," Randa, 22, said. "Even if she's not directly here with me all the time - in the back of my mind - I know what she had to go through.
