But seven years after the September 11th attacks on America, the experts still disagree on basic issues.

Everyone who loves books and reading has old friends, books you pick up when you’re too tired to read something new, or when you just want to revisit a favorite place/character. The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, both by Robin McKinley, are two books on my Old Friend List. I discovered The Blue Sword first in my high school years (though it is technically a juvenile), and it immediately became a staple in my library.

Economist reports on the fatawa condemning TV channel owners. It says that Saudis aren’t surprised much by such outrageous comments coming from religious leaders. It notes that Luhaidan’s condemnation is dangerous in that it targets people with significant political connections. It also reports that Luhaidan’s radio program has been taken off the air by state authorities. I guess Luhaidan gets some street cred for tackling the issue of TV programming that many Saudis find objectionable. But Docudharma Times Friday September 19

Interesting article in The New York Times on the way Oprah Winfrey has become an icon for many Saudi women. The story says that Oprah’s own life—rising from a poor and abusive background, dealing with issues like weight and depression, to becoming one of the most ‘powerful’ women on earth—provides these women with hope for themselves. The Oprah TV program, broadcast twice daily by MBC TV, addresses issues that get little public airing in conservative Saudi Arabia. Definitely worth reading the wPush-Back on TV Fatawas
The fatwa by Sheikh Luhaidan that call for the death of TV executives has not received a favorable reception across the Arab world. This Associated Press story notes that even arch-conservative Muslims find Luhaidan’s comments reprehensible and dangerous.

Islamophobes and Saudi-bashers have had great fun in pointing to the Sheikh’s intemperate and ill-advised comments, viewing his half-step back as wholly inadeqSaudi Arabia Hearts Oprah Winfrey?

Saudi Arabia needs more nurses, particularly in specialized fields. It has sought to solve the problem through hiring foreign workers, primarily Filipinos, but is now looking to train more Saudis to take the jobs. Note that Saudi Arabia has many more male Saudi nurses than female Saudi nurses. That could and should change if society can learn to accept Saudi women’s working with male patients.

Peak Oil - Are We There Yet? How close are we to the peak? Recapping from our theoretical discussion on the depletion curves, the peak happens after discoveries have peaked, after consumption has overtaken discoveries, and once total accumulated consumption/production is roughly equal to the remaining reserves. Looking at the numbers, one concludes that two of the conditions for a production peak have occurred, and a third may be occurring: 1) Discoveries peaked 44 years ago (by coincideTHE VATICAN IS NO PLACE FOR REALISM:
