We wonder what her crime against Yahoo was that got her that 'effective immediately' unceremonious phone-dismissal. What about "the fact that she helped the company to get on it’s feet again after it was lost in the market share."? This CEO takes her rather abrupt dismissal in her stride, seemingly as she reports with blaze and breezy nonchalance by iPad her own update, including the detail of the phone-nature of the firing.

Majority of young Jordanians see country on right track

"Around 70 per cent of young Jordanians agree that the Kingdom is on the right track in terms of reform, a poll found." But North/ South divides presided over this survey: "The poll, carried out by the University of Jordan’s Centre for Strategic Studies (CSS) a few days before Eid Al Fitr to assess the government’s performance after 200 days in office, also showed that citizens of the southern governorates said the country is not moving in the right direction in general, unlike those living in the north and middle regions."

What is happening in Syria?

"I watch Aljazeera and Al-Arabiyya and I hear daily that demonstrations are happening in Damascus daily, if not hourly. In the New York Times today, this article says that all is quiet in Damascus."

Today we planted in Gaza’s buffer zone

"Today, like every Tuesday in Beit Hanoun, we marched into the buffer zone to protest it and the illegal Israeli occupation. In many ways it was the same as every Tuesday. We gathered at the Agricultural College, we marched down the road that leads to the buffer zone, we sang, and we chanted. What was different this week?"
