...blond woman in front of them. Dressed in a starched white Oriental tunic over gray sweat pants and sneakers, J.Z. Knight, 40, sat on a makeshift stage in a sturdy armchair surrounded by a veritable garden of lavender flowers. Her voice, almost preternaturally husky, seemed to take on a gamut of accents from European to Indian as she spouted a relentless stream of imperatives about self-reliance and the god within. "You will receive what you want," she said. "You are masters of your destiny." Every so often she would animatedly cry out to her listeners, "Get it?," to which...
...wasn't the first MMOG I'd ever played, but it is the best. The interface is clean and easy to master.

"We don't have the ghetto mentality here. We want the students to experience the full gamut of life." He says students are involved in civics and citizenship courses and when Islam is in the news they are free to discuss the issues. Unlike many Australians, Dr. Ali says his students don't register a division between Muslims and others. "I can tell you what...
...compatible with that of a poet. “You’re always learning and you have a lot of unstructured time,” she said. She won the $1,000 Joan Gray Untermeyer Poetry Prize last year and her poetry has been published in The Gamut and Persephone, two Harvard magazines. Vasiliauskas is one of the editors-in-chief of The Gamut, poetry editor of Persephone, a Crimson photography editor, and one of the head tutors at the Writing Center. “She’s incredibly organized and at the same time incredibly passionate about...
