Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days $20.11 Sesame Street has been educating and entertaining kids for 40 years. But the kind of TV programming for children that we currently take for granted didn’t exist until Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett dreamed up the concept of curriculum-based, educational children’s television in the late 1960s. By 1969, lots of research, consultation with educators, and testing had culminated in Sesame Street… |

Baby Einstein – Language Nursery $8.99 If you’ve been around babies in the last few years, you’ve seen these newfangled toys that are abstract in color (or just black, white, and red) and make curious, crunching noises. Studies have shown that these types of toys stimulate newborns, expanding the capacity of their little sponge-like minds. That concept comes to the video age in Baby Einstein. This 30-minute tape is called a “video boar… |

Do you think that Hamas too should get German mediators to release their prisoners?
Hezbollah had the Germans mediating and they have proved as always the German genius by emptying the Israeli jails of Lebanese. I see no point in letting the Egyptians act as mediators, after all if Egypt was so concerned they would have opened the Rafah borders instead of letting the innocent Palis suffer. As opposed to this the Germans are very smart at negotiations, and with the Germans on their side Hamas can hopefully get all their prisoners out of the Israeli jails. I personally think that Hamas should approach the Germans and request them to help get the innocent Palis out the Israeli jails. What do you think?
That's pretty genius of you. I totally agree that the Hamas freedom fighters should have the Germans take it from here on. The Egyptian "brothers" have failed to secure the release of thousands of Palestinians from Jewish prisons, many of whom are doing time for no apparent reasons.
