Studying philosophy has intrinsic and practical benefits. Literally meaning "love of wisdom," philosophy is the inquiry into fundamental questions like: What is the good life? What is real? How can humans know? How do humans create and discover meaning in life?
When you become a student of philosophy you will significantly enhance your critical thinking, analytical and communication skills. Our curriculum offers both breadth and depth by combining a historical approach with an exploration of specific topics, issues, and thinkers. You will find philosophy to be a valuable major, or minor paired with another major like business or psychology.
Study abroad is popular at Queens. We offer courses connected to short-term trips that you will take with your professor and classmates. For instance, philosophy and religion majors can choose to study Chinese philosophies and religions in a classroom setting and then in mainland China as they visit Confucian temples and hike Buddhist and Taoist sacred mountains.
- Caring, Committed Professors
Our learning environment features small class sizes, an award-winning faculty, a low student-faculty ratio and a caring, close-knit community for support.
- Learn from Scholars
The philosophy department is closely linked to Queens' Center for Ethics and Religion, giving philosophy majors unique opportunities to meet and learn from internationally known scholars like Dr. Holmes Rolston, the Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne and author and journalist Krista Tippett.
- Did you know?
Philosophy majors across the country have the highest average scores on the LSAT, the entrance exam for law school.
You will have a variety of internship options. Some of our philosophy majors have chosen:
- Mint Museum
- Cities in Schools
- Charlotte law firms
- Hands On Atlanta
- Habitat for Humanity
- Muscular Dystrophy Association
Philosophy major Amanda Stefanski '02 is earning her Ph.D. in Teacher Education at the University of Maryland. She says, "Queens not only encourages students to be involved in a variety of activities, but also supports and facilitates that involvement. It has been crucial to my adult life. People often comment on the number of things I am able to do."
Our graduates have had success in gaining acceptance into law school at University of North Carolina, University of Virginia and Wake Forest University, and graduate schools including the University of Texas and University of South Carolina. Our philosophy majors have been successful in a variety of careers. They have become lawyers, editors, bankers, civic advocates and teachers. Some have also gone on to serve in the Peace Corps.

I love my job, as I have the privilege of highlighting Microsoft Research Connections' collaborations with some of the brightest minds at universities and research institutions around the world. And with so many inspiring projects, it's difficult to pick my favorites—which is why I'm glad that your clicks can let us know which blogs most sparked your interest. So, here are the best of the best as selected by you: the 10 most widely read Microsoft Research Connections blogs of 2013.
Number 10: New cloud computing training for researchers worldwideToday's data-intensive scientific research requires vast computing power—just what cloud computing provides. So no wonder a blog that announces free training on using Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform, got a lot of attention. Did you miss this one? Well, it not too late to take advantage of the two-day training programs we offer at sites around the world. Read more...Number 9: Preserving Latin America's WildlifeThe future is a little brighter for species that are increasingly threatened by habitat destruction and climate change in Latin America. This blog highlights LiveANDES (Advanced Network for the Distribution of Endangered Species), a new tool that enables wildlife biologists, government officials, and citizen scientists to collect, house, and analyze data about Latin America's wildlife. Read more... Number 8: Computerworld Honors Microsoft Research for Breakthroughs in Pneumonia and HIV Although it is gratifying to receive honors for using technology to promote positive social change, it's not nearly as rewarding as knowing our research contributes to the fight against two scourges that affect millions around the world. This blog recounts our collaborative efforts towards improving the efficacy of pneumonia vaccinations and perfecting an effective vaccine against HIV infection. Read more...Number 7: Encouraging the next generation of women in computing It's a sad fact that women students are woefully underrepresented among computer science majors, today comprising only 13 percent of those earning bachelor's degrees in the field. While we recognize that no single person—or even single organization—can solve this problem, readers of this blog learned that programs like she++, a grassroots community that encourages women's involvement in computing, just might. Read more... Number 6: Microsoft Research gives promising computer science faculty a boost This might strike a personal chord with many readers: how challenging it is for university faculty to get funding for innovative research—particularly in the early stages of their career. This blog describes how Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowships provide support that helps early-career academics in the field of computer science pursue their vision and make an impact. Read more... Number 5: Windows Azure for Research Remember the cloud computing training covered in our tenth most popular blog? Well, that training is just one part of an extensive initiative to empower researchers to use "cloud power" to tackle Big Data. This blog lays out the entire program, which includes grants, technical resources, and community engagements, as well as the aforementioned training events. Read more... Number 4: Confronting Global Grand Challenges Who can resist a blog whose title promises so much? Granted, it doesn't promise to solve these challenges (now that would be a blog!), but this post frames the issues and highlights the efforts of a group of talented students to crack six of these grand trials. Plus, it offers wisdom from one of The Black Eyed Peas! Read more... Number 3: Join us in exploring the future of computing—virtually! Another intriguing title, underpinned by an irresistible invitation: to view and even engage in live online interviews with some the world's foremost academic researchers during the Microsoft Research Faculty Summit. Add the appeal of hearing Bill Gates field questions from the audience about the role of computing in solving global problems, and you've got a must-view event promoted in a must-read blog. Read more... Number 2: Kinect Fusion Boosts Kinect for Windows SDK Update Ever since its release, the Kinect for Windows software development kit (SDK) has stimulated researchers' imaginations and given rise to some outstanding advances in natural user interface (NUI) applications.

Make your mark in history with ChronoZoom
Last week, from November 22 to 24, I was in St. Louis, Missouri, at the annual conference of the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), helping to promote the terrific work of our international partners in creating open-source technologies and free curricula to support history education. I spent two days in the NCSS exhibit hall demoing ChronoZoom, an interactive, multimedia timeline of the history of everything, which won the SXSW Interactive Award for Best Educational Resource last year.
I wasn't the only ChronoZoom fan in St. Louis. Three of our collaborators presented at the conference, which draws 3,000 to 4,000 social studies educators each year. One of our pilot projects is actually in St. Louis, and its presentation was given by 13 high schoolers, all advanced-placement history students, who shared their collaborative timeline of world religions—and the power of ChronoZoom.
The pedagogical value of ChronoZoom was apparent in their comments, such as this from Dimitri Rucker, one of the all advanced-placement high schoolers:
"ChronoZoom changed the way I thought about history because of the format it's displayed in. With the zooming capabilities, you can quickly and visually learn about history all the way from cosmos to humanity now and I think that's very interesting about this educational tool. With ChronoZoom, we incorporated the timeline of religion and philosophy and how they have affected history throughout time. And by using ChronoZoom, it is easier to show the large timeline of events to help explain how religion has affected the world."
My goal at the conference was to increase awareness of ChronoZoom and to encourage teachers to try it and provide feedback. In particular, we are interested in sharing the new authoring tools that provide a simple, intuitive means of creating timelines and then creating presentations around those timelines in a fashion similar to PowerPoint or Prezi. Our engineering teams will be prioritizing their work according to teacher requests, so this is an excellent opportunity for teachers to shape a piece of technology designed specifically for educational use.
I gave a lot of demos to share our technical work around ChronoZoom, but our big news was the non-digital, standards-aligned curriculum we released in partnership with the NCSS, the American Historical Association, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a team of amazing curriculum developers and subject matters experts. As I said repeatedly at the conference, the easiest thing about creating educational technology is creating the educational technology. Once that is done, the hard work begins: creating the pedagogical support necessary to make the technology comprehensible and easy for educators and students to use.
The curriculum consists of three core units that cover different approaches to teaching historical thinking: (1) The Causes of World War I, which teaches about causality and multiple perspectives; (2) Atlantic Encounters, which presents a more abstract introduction to historical thinking by studying the moments when two cultures meet and how the meeting changes both cultures; and (3) The ChronoZoomers Guild, which provides lesson templates and associated materials to create an immersive experience involving time travel and the alteration of pivotal events in world history. Read more about these three units.
Middle-school history teacher Samantha Shires helped develop the World War I curriculum and piloted it with her class of seventh and eighth graders in Greensboro, NC. What stood out for her was ChronoZoom's usefulness as a presentation and assessment tool. "There's a certain amount of messiness to history that can make it a challenge to fully understand," she said. "ChronoZoom provides a visual representation that helps my students make sense of the messiness and act as an operator of history, rather than merely a bystander."
ChronoZoom Curriculum and Technology
Each of the lesson plans is designed to be open-ended with enough room for individual educators to flex their creative muscles. In each lesson, teachers guide the students to answer basic research questions by using authoritative primary sources that are curated by subject matter experts. Then, students are invited to use ChronoZoom to build timelines and presentations based on their research. This allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter as well as their mastery of historical thinking principles outlined in the C3 social studies standards and the upcoming Common Core standards.
We encourage history teachers to download the curriculum, experiment with ChronoZoom, and join our community. If you like the ChronoZoom curriculum, let us know through the website forums. If you don't like it, definitely let us know. Your feedback is essential to help ensure that we provide a curriculum that suits your needs.
So again, please try ChronoZoom and let us know what you think. I look forward to possibly working with you as we continue to evolve ChronoZoom, striving to make it a great example of what the future of education might be.

The curriculum for teaching historical thinking with ChronoZoom
Lesson 1: Causes of World War IThis unit focuses on the events of 1874 to 1914 that led up to the onset of World War I. The focus of this unit is causality and multiple perspectives. The material is taught by using non-digital techniques in the classroom. Students can subsequently use ChronoZoom to create timelines based on what they have learned, and present these learnings to their classmates and teacher.
Lesson 2: Atlantic EncountersThis unit explores the difference between encounters and contacts. It poses such questions as "Do cultures have a moment when they collide, when the world is changed forever and seemingly inevitably? Or do cultures interact and mingle over longer periods of time?" It challenges students to show causation, contingency, and consequences, and introduces them to historical thinking by studying encounters among cultures from across the Atlantic and the outcomes of these interactions. By exploring the question "How did Atlantic encounters shape North America?", students will understand that these encounters among indigenous Americans, Africans, and Europeans were major turning points in the history of the world. Drawing upon primary and secondary sources, students create and analyze exhibits collaboratively on ChronoZoom timelines.
Lesson 3: ChronoZoomers GuildThe third unit is a foundation to support historical thinking and is truly content-agnostic. The material from the World War I unit is used to demonstrate the principles, but the unit is intended to be "plug and play" for any history content, allowing students to populate the templates with whatever historical information the class is studying. This unit provides lesson templates and associated materials to immerse students in an epic narrative that revolves around the class being contacted by a secretive organization from the future that uses time travel to alter pivotal events in world history. Students must master fundamental historical thinking concepts and meet Common Core historical literacy standards. They are then invited to create a timeline in ChronoZoom and present it as a proposal to change past events in order to create a better future.
Back to blog
It's time to revise the traditional "three Rs" of education in the United States. In addition to "reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic," we need to add computer science. Yeah, I know it doesn't even contain an "r," but computer science is just as important as those fundamental "r" skills. And that brings me to the topic of this blog: Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), an annual US event that stresses the need to teach computer science basics to every student. This year, CSEdWeek runs from December 9 to 15.
I am especially excited to work in partnership with Code.org, a new non-profit organization that initiated one of CSEdWeek's prime events: the "Hour of Code." The event aims to introduce 10 million students of all ages to computer science ideas and tools—and to let them try coding for one hour—while also demonstrating to parents, teachers, and policymakers how accessible coding can be. And at a deeper level, we hope it will drive demand for expanded computer science courses and activities in secondary schools.
As part of CSEdWeek, I am in central Oregon at the Culver Middle School and Culver High School, introducing students to programming through an hour of coding by using TouchDevelop, a free Microsoft Research mobile application development tool. I'll also host an all-school assembly on "How Computer Science Can Solve the World's Greatest Challenges." In addition, I get to spend a day devoted to my greatest passion: sparking young girls' interest in computer science. I will meet with 93 Culver Middle School girls, introducing them to computer science research and the importance of user experience design. Too many young people only hear about the difficulty of programming; I strive to show them the art, creativity, and satisfaction involved in making an application that meets the end user's needs. They'll learn about the storyboarding process and how to design an application, and then they'll help create the user interface for Games Learning Society, a research project I'm working on with Constance Steinkuehler at the University of Wisconsin. I will also give them a preview of a program we will announce this week—so stay tuned to learn about great partnerships and an event that will entice even more young women to pursue computer science careers.
Middle school students learn coding with help from Rane Johnson-Stempson during Computer Science Education Week.
Despite the excitement of CSEdWeek, my commitment to and passion for what it represents doesn't begin and end during this week. Early last week, I met with 75 high school students from the Auburn (WA) Mountainview High School IT Academy Program and shared Kodu, .NET Gadgeteer, WorldWide Telescope, and other Microsoft Research technologies with them. They also learned about the exciting future of computing from bright young Microsoft employees who are in an accelerated career development program.Later in the month, I will head to Redmond (OR) Middle School to conduct a TouchDevelop programming event with all of the students and to introduce middle school girls to user experience design. And I'm not alone in this outreach effort; several of my Microsoft Research colleagues are also volunteering at elementary, middle, and high schools to excite students about computer science. Judith Bishop is in South Africa to expose students to TouchDevelop, and Arul Menezes, Krysta Svore, and Peli de Halleux are visiting Seattle-area middle and high schools to help students experience an hour of coding. Why is coding so important? The digital age has transformed how we work and live, making computer science and the technologies it enables central to our daily lives. By 2020, an estimated 4.6 million computer-related jobs will be available for those with skills in computer science—jobs that will address such issues as climate change, healthcare provision, and economic development. Unfortunately, many educational institutions in the United States have not been able to keep pace with technological advances, leaving students without fundamental computer science skills: of the more than 42,000 high schools in the United States, fewer than 3,250 were certified to teach advanced-placement computer science courses in 2013. Only 14 states count computer science courses toward a student's graduation requirements in math and science, and no states require a computer science course as a condition of graduation. This must change if we want students from the United States to have future career opportunities in global computer science fields.By the way, you don't have to work at Microsoft Research to be part of this effort: to learn about more free tools you can share with students to interest them in computing, visit Research tools. —Rane Johnson-Stempson, Director, Education and Scholarly Communication, Microsoft Research ConnectionsLearn more

Exposure To Antiretrovirals During Pregnancy Does Not Alter Bone Development Of Infants
Published: Nov 18, 2011 11:26 am $update = get_post_custom_values("Update"); if (!empty($update)) { echo "; Updated: " . $update[0]; } ?>
Results from a recent small Italian study indicate that exposure to antiretroviral drugs, including Viread, during pregnancy does not affect fetal bone metabolism and bone development.
"Antiretroviral therapy taken during pregnancy is not detrimental to bone development and bone health of the fetus/infant. Due to the awareness about the numerous side effects of antiretrovirals, we wanted to verify the safety for the fetus of the therapy," said Dr. Stefano Mora from the Laboratory of Pediatric Endocrinology at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute of Milan, Italy, and lead author of the study.
"In simple words, HIV-infected mothers should take their therapy and do not have to worry about the bone health of their children," he added.
Antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy is important for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. However, according to the study authors, antiretrovirals have been linked to decreased bone mass and altered bone metabolism in HIV-positive children and adolescents.
Viread (tenofovir), which is also a component of Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir), has been particularly linked to bone loss in HIV-positive children and adults (see related AIDS Beacon news).
In this study, the researchers investigated the effect of antiretroviral drug exposure during pregnancy on newborns and infants.
The study included 38 infants who were exposed to antiretrovirals during pregnancy. The infants were born between 35 and 39 weeks of gestation. For comparison, the study also included 94 newborns with HIV-negative mothers, born between 37 and 40 weeks of gestation.
More than half (58 percent) of the HIV-positive mothers were taking two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and a protease inhibitor, and a quarter (24 percent) were taking two NRTIs and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
The mothers received one of the following NRTI backbones: Epivir (lamivudine) plus zidovudine (Retrovir), Epzicom (abacavir/lamivudine), Epivir plus didanosine (Videx), or Truvada.
The median length of infant exposure to antiretrovirals during pregnancy was 14 weeks. All mothers had cesarean sections, and all newborns received antiretroviral therapy and were formula fed to avoid mother-to-child HIV transmission.
Measurements of bone development were obtained as soon as possible after birth and prior to hospital discharge. Further measurements were taken at follow-up visits four and 12 months after birth.
Results showed that antiretroviral-exposed infants had lower weight and length measurements at the beginning of the study and at their four-months follow-up visit, due to shorter gestation times compared to unexposed infants. However, these differences were no longer significant at age 12 months.
Ultrasound measurements of the shinbones of exposed and unexposed infants showed that there was no difference in bone quality or maturation between the two groups. Results also showed that bone formation and bone break down or loss (bone resorption) rates did not differ between the two groups.
A separate analysis showed that there were no significant differences in bone development in infants exposed to Viread or Truvada; however, the researchers noted that further studies are needed to confirm this observation.
For more information, please see the study in the journal Bone (abstract).

'Birthing pains' for masters fest
Three of the 11 participating filmmakers in the 2013 Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival All-Masters Edition failed to submit their entries on time, while screenings of three other films were delayed when the week-long festival began on September 11.
According to festival organizer, Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), Chito Roño's "Badil," Tikoy Aguiluz's "Eman" and Romy Suzara's "Tinik" were still in "various stages of post-production" on opening day.
The three films were among 11 that received a P1.5-million grant each from the FDCP's Film Investment Program. The SM Group is a cosponsor of the event.
FCDP chairman Briccio Santos told the Inquirer on Friday afternoon that all entries, except "Eman," were finished and submitted by then. Santos said he was hopeful that "Eman" could catch up for screenings before the festival ends on Tuesday.
"We've notified the public of the delays in the screenings," Santos added. "The festival, despite its shortcomings, is unprecedented in terms of accomplishments," he maintained.
According to reports, Aguiluz failed to meet the deadline because of casting problems. In the case of Roño's movie, shooting was delayed.
Other participating filmmakers are Maryo J. de los Reyes ("Bamboo Flowers"), Elwood Perez ("Otso"), Gil Portes ("Ang Tag-Araw ni Twinkle"), Mel Chionglo ("Lauriana"), Joel Lamangan ("Lihis"), Jose Javier "Joey" Reyes ("Ano ang Kulay ng mga Nakalimutang Pangarap?"), Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes ("Sonata") and Celso Ad. Castillo ("Bahay ng Lagim").
Meanwhile, the screenings of films made by De los Reyes, Chionglo and Joey Reyes in some areas in Metro Manila and in the provinces experienced delays, too, because the copies failed to arrive on time.
Who's to blame
"FDCP is pointing to the SM Group as the cause of the delay," Joey Reyes said.
Dennis Evangelista, line producer of "Lauriana," also reported delays in the screening of Chionglo's psychological thriller, particularly in the provinces.
"In this case, it wasn't the FDCP's fault. There was a miscommunication between Direk Mel and the group handling the reproduction of copies," Evangelista said.
"If you're going to create a festival as big as this, you should involve an agency that effectively handles logistics, distribution and promotions," De los Reyes said. "The directors should not be bothered with these things."
Poor performance
De los Reyes cited the lack of promotions as one reason for the Sineng Pambansa entries' poor performance in the box office. "I was told that a lot of my friends in the entertainment press weren't informed of the event. Our efforts to visit the provinces, like Davao and Cebu, to promote our entries weren't maximized," he said. "It's too bad people didn't know the tickets were priced at only P100."
De los Reyes said, "The FDCP should've tied up with a broadcast network. The omnibus trailer should have been aired several times on television to create awareness of the event. Also, if one government agency couldn't handle the event by itself, it should have sought the help of other agencies like the Department of Education, or tapped private corporations as sponsors."
Lore Reyes added: "[Since some of] these films were not finished, it gave SM the excuse to show English films during the festival, contrary to the agreement."
De los Reyes noted, "The council's objective is noble and beautiful. It's just sad that it lacked an efficient system."
Learning the ropes
Joey Reyes attributed all that happened to birthing pains.
"It's obvious that the FDCP is just starting to learn the ropes," he said.
For his part, Santos said: "There is only so much we can do, for the success of this festival depends not only on the organizers but also on the support of the audience and other stakeholders. This is our first time to work with veteran filmmakers; we can only get better."

Sharon Bezaly - Meisterwerke für Flöte & Klavier Vol.1
- Sharon Bezaly - Meisterwerke für Flöte & Klavier Vol.1
- Sharon Bezaly, Ronald Brautigam
- Super Audio CD i **;
Tonformat: stereo & multichannel (Hybrid)
- Künstler: Sharon Bezaly, Ronald Brautigam
- Label: BIS, DDD, 2005
- Bestellnummer: 8597399
- Erscheinungstermin: 20.1.2006
ProduktinfoRecently released recordings of Mozart's concertos, of three contemporary works for flute and orchestra and of a programme for solo flute have earned Sharon Bezaly epithets such as 'God's gift to the flute', 'an amazingly talented performer' and 'a First Lady among equals'. Here she has turned to some of the central works for flute and piano, and with Ronald Brautigam, familiar from many BIS releases, gives her interpretations of three master-pieces of the 1940s flanking Schubert's great Trockne Blumen variations, composed some 120 years earlier. Though written in the span of two years, Prokofiev's Sonata, Dutilleux's Sonatine and Jolivet's Chant de Linos each show the flute in a different light.
Prokofiev was preoccupied with clarity of style and found the instrument a perfect vehicle: 'The sonata should be played with a bright, transparent, classical tone', he wrote. (David Oistrakh later convinced the composer to create a violin version, which quickly became very popular.)
A distinctly different approach was taken by Jolivet, who wrote his Chant inspired by the ancient Greek concept of 'linos', a ritual lament punctuated by cries and dancing. It is thus based on musical material associated with Greek modes and explores the extremes of expression.
Dutilleux, finally, composed his Sonatine as a set piece for the flute competitions of the Paris Conservatoire. But these academic-sounding origins are belied by the by turns atmospheric and spirited writing, so typical of the multi-faceted Dutilleux.
Sharon Bezaly and Ronald Brautigam have previously collaborated on BIS-CD-1439, with violist Nobuko Imai. Upon its release this disc received a number of distinctions and highly favourable reviews, not least because of the superb ensemble playing.
"Anyone who has yet to encounter the playing of the astonishing young flautist Sharon Bezaly should do so without delay." Classical fm 05 / 2006
"Sharon Bezaly plays with a crystal clear, resonant tone, impeccable intonation and technique and tastefully timed - if occasionally slowish - vibrato. She and Ronald Brautigam have an almost supernatural sympathy together, ,,," Musicweb-international 05 / 2006
PressestimmenH. Arnold in FonoForum 08 / 06: "Das Duo Bezaly-Brautigam versteht es, allen Ansprochen gerecht zu werden: Mit perlender Virtuosität, berückend schönem Flötenton in allen Lagen und natürlich wirkender Musikalität gelingen durchweg fesselnde Interpretationen. Perfekt auch die Aufnahmetechnik, die vor allem in der Mehrkanalversion eine natürliche Abbildung des Raumes bietet."

* Information of facilities, services and programs;

Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Hawaiian volcanoes.
Halema'uma'u is the home of Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Hawaiian volcanoes. The ancient traditions are honored and practiced here by native Hawaiians. It is not unusual to see offerings to Pele, such as sacred Hawaiian plants, left on the rim of the crater. Please respect this area!
The Halema'uma'u Crater Overlook is a 10 minute walk from the parking area. From the overlook you look down directly into Pele's home.

Leave it or be cursed
It is said that if any volcanic rock is taken from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (or anywhere in Hawaii) that the person that took it will be cursed until it is returned. The same is true for black sand.
- National/State Park
- Eco-Tourism
- Arts and Culture
Plenty of the locals were out early in the morning for a spot of paddling. All sorts of people, including men, women and children were setting up for the day when we passed through.
The beach we were on was covered in black volcanic sand, which was unique.
The Thomas A. Jaggar Museum
Go in the Jaggar Museusm where you can learn about the different kinds of lava: the a'a, which moves slowly in rough chunks, and the pahoehone, which runs more quickly, giving it a smooth surface. The museum also has displays on the many legends of the volcano, starring Madame Pele, the famous Volcano goddes who, according to Hawaiian myth and legend, tricks and kills unwary men.
From the same place you can get a stunning lookout to Kilauea's caldera.
- School Holidays
You may see flowers, fruit, or bottles of booze near the craters. What are these things doing here? They are thought to be things that the goddess Pele favored and are offered to her.

Sardar Israrullah Khan Gandapur walked towards his smiling young visitor to greet him on the first day of Bakrid in his hujra , a place to meet people, outside his residence at Kulachi in Dera Ismail Khan district. The young man dressed in new clothes embraced the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Law Minister and detonated himself, killing Gandapur on the spot and seven others last Wednesday.
His older brother Ikramullah who was sitting some distance away managed to survive but those sitting next to him were dead.
The KPK government said the suicide bomber was between 20 to 22 years old and spoke to the Minister in the local language before the explosion.
This was the latest of a series of bomb blasts to hit Peshawar and sent the provincial government led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) scrambling for cover again. With talks with the Taliban hanging in balance, things seem to be spiralling out of control.
Media reports suggest he was killed by a little known terrorist faction in connection with the sensational jail breaks in Dera Ismail Khan but that is only one of the many speculations.
Faisal Karim Kundi, a Pakistan Peoples Party politician from Dera Ismail Khan and a former deputy speaker of the National Assembly told The Hindu on the phone that it was the custom to go to greet people who come to visit you on Eid day and Israrullah walked eight to 10 feet to greet his visitor before it all ended.
He is survived by wife, an infant daughter and a son.
A Masters in Political Science, Gandapur (39) studied in Kulachi before going to Peshawar to complete his studies.
This was his third term in the provincial assembly which he contested as an independent and later joined PTI.
He took to active politics after the death of his father, Sardar Inayatullah Khan Gandapur, a former Chief Minister of the North West Frontier Province.
Hours before his death, Gandapur had sent a text message to a friend asking him to come and meet him before it was too late that evening, said Shiraz Paracha, spokesperson for the KPK Chief Minister.
Everyone was talking about this message and whether it was a premonition of sorts.
That seems unlikely going by a photo taken before Gandapur was killed. It showed a smiling relaxed politician meeting people.
Mr. Paracha says he knew him for a few months and he was one of the finest members of the provincial cabinet in terms of his extensive knowledge about Constitutional affairs and his understanding of the rules of business.
He had a grasp of governance related issues and in a short period of time he had become one of the shining stars of the PTI government.
Unlike his father, Gandapur was known for his simple lifestyle.
He mingled with people and met them easily. "He was so accessible, and that could be one of the reasons for his death," rues Paracha.
Killed in connection with the jail breaks in Dera Ismail Khan Had extensive knowledge about Constitutional affairs

|Baseball stars from the National League and the American League played the first All-Star Game in 1933. The National League has won 41 of the 80 games. The game ended in a tie twice. In 1961 rain in Boston prevented extra innings and the game ended in a 1-1 tie. And in 2002, the game went 11 innings with the score knotted at seven before it was finally called off due to a lack of pitchers.

On This Page
In some situations, your sent mail moves to your Outbox folder, but that mail may never move to your Sent Items folder. This article describes how to troubleshoot problems with mail that remains in your Microsoft Outlook 97 Outbox.
Any of the following conditions, which are expanded on in this article, can cause sent mail to remain in your Outbox:
Message Opened in Your OutboxAfter you send a message, Outlook moves it to your Outbox. When Outlook establishes a connection to your mail server, Outlook attempts to deliver the message. If the delivery is not successful, the message remains in your Outbox. If the delivery is successful, the sent message is moved to your Sent Items folder.
If you open and close a message while it is still in your Outbox, you change the status of the message, and the message is not sent when Outlook establishes a connection to your mail server. The message title is no longer displayed in italics in the Outbox Messages view.
To return the message to a send status, open the message, and then click Send on the message toolbar. The message title should be displayed in italics in the Outbox Messages view. During the next connection with the mail server, Outlook should deliver the message.
If Send is not displayed on the message toolbar when you open the message that is stuck in your Outbox, copy the text from the message and paste it in a new message. Delete the old message, and then try to send the new message.
If you receive a message that states that the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) spooler has already begun to send the message when you try to open the message that is stuck in your Outbox, wait 30 minutes to see if the message is delivered. You may have a slow connection. If the message is not sent after 30 minutes:
Working OfflineIf your sent mail remains in your Outbox and does not move to your Sent Items folder, your profile may be configured to work offline. If your profile is configured to work offline, your sent mail remains in your Outbox until you manually establish a connection to your mail server. To configure your profile to work online, use one of the following methods, as applicable:
Damaged Personal Folder or Personal Address Book FilesTo troubleshoot for damaged personal folder or personal address book files, use the following steps:
Add-insOutdated or incompatible add-ins can cause e-mail delivery problems. By default, Outlook installs Exchange Extensions and Mail 3.0 Extensions add-ins. If your profile includes the Internet Mail service, you may also have the Internet Mail add-in. Old Netscape Extensions or Fax software add-ins can also cause mail delivery problems. To check your active add-ins:
Stuck Fax MessageIf the message that is stuck in your Outbox is a fax message, there may be a corrupted fax message in your Windows\Spool\Fax folder. Move all of the files in this folder to your Windows\Temp folder, and then resend the fax message.

But some gym owners not sure their clients need — or want — to be that connected
You swipe your gym membership card or sign in, and the screen on the cardio equipment welcomes you by name.
Your sites and bookmarked TV shows and the workouts you tracked — data stored in the cloud — load onto the 10- to 19-inch tablet attached to the bike, elliptical or treadmill. While you work up a sweat, you can read the book you started the night before, check the latest Facebook posts or tweet about the miles you're clocking in real time.
The fitness industry is in an era of TVs on treadmills, but two industry leaders — Life Fitness, a division of Illinois-based Brunswick Corp., and Washington-based Precor — have kicked up competition with the release of personalized Internet-capable products. Life Fitness unveiled its new product line in October and recently opened its application programming interface so developers can create apps for the equipment.
Some of Precor's cardio equipment — its P80 Console series — has 15-inch LCD touch screens that can connect to the Internet, said Doug Johns, the company's vice president for global marketing and product management. The machines, sold since 2010, are priced at nearly $11,000 for home use.
"I think it's fair to say that the industry is heading in this direction," Johns said.
Life Fitness, the industry leader with sales last year of $635 million, has jumped in with touch screens that allow users to surf the Web.
"Technology is moving really quick," Life Fitness President Chris Clawson said at a recent presentation to prospective clients, mostly health and fitness clubs that can afford its $10,000 treadmills. "People have a desire to get what's in their purse connected with everything else."
Still, some equipment-makers and those who work at fitness clubs are skeptical.
Lisa Juris, vice president of marketing for Cybex International, a competitor, said some people drape towels over the TVs on cardio equipment because they don't want to be distracted. "Some people want an escape, some people want facts, some people want entertainment," Juris said. "People are complex."
Cybex is still looking into whether being able to connect with the Internet would help exercisers to stay fit or be too much of a distraction.
Jodi Sullivan, senior director of global fitness for Hilton Worldwide, said customers are eager for the latest technology. Hilton replaces equipment in phases every five years, she said.
"We want to offer our clients the latest and greatest," Sullivan said. "This is certainly a game-changer."
Don Hanna, vice president at YMCA of San Francisco, doesn't want to be left behind. "I don't want my members to have this experience (elsewhere) and come back and say, 'Why don't we have that?' " he said.
Hanna said he'll slowly phase in the machines because of cost.
Sullivan said among her favorite features were the new tracking capabilities offered by both Life Fitness and Precor. With a few clicks, business owners and managers can determine how often each machine is used and whether a unit needs maintenance. Welcome messages and logos can be customized; Life Fitness said its clients can create their own promotional channels to advertise exercise classes and products.

MANNING, Ore. A commercial truck carrying seafood waste crashed on Highway 26 near Manning Sunday morning, police said.
Around 6:30 a.m., a commercial truck pulling a trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of compressed seafood waste went off the right shoulder of Highway 26 near milepost 35 and crashed into trees, according to Oregon State Police.
The driver was seriously injured and taken by LifeFlight to Oregon Health & Science University.
The highway was closed in both directions for several hours Sunday while the scene was cleared.
Just after 1 p.m., one lane of traffic was reopened. Around 3 p.m. the highway was fully reopened.
Drivers were delayed and rerouted during the cleanup.
