Afghanistan will go to the polls on Saturday, April 5, to elect a president to succeed Hamid Karzai, who has governed the country since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, but cannot contest for a third consecutive term, as per the rules of the Afghan Constitution.
The country appears all geared up for the presidential election, amidst repeated terror attacks by the Taliban, which is using all its power to destabilise the electoral process.
The capital Kabul and all the electoral machinery seem to be the Taliban's prime target, clearly aimed at creating panic among voters to keep them away from voting. The Taliban seem to be considerably successful, as schools, colleges and most offices, particularly the internationals NGOs (INGOs) have shut offices, and most foreign workers, including several election observers, have left the country. Kabul has turned into virtual army cantonment, and residents have been advised to stay indoors as much as possible.
In the past ten days in Kabul, the Taliban have attacked the Serena Hotel, the main office and a provincial office of the Independent Election Commission (IEC), and a guest house, killing scores. On Wednesday, a suicide attack at the Interior Ministry killed at least six security personnel and injured four others. Rumours that hundreds of Taliban have entered Kabul and readying for an attack are further aggravating the situation.
However, that has not deterred the Afghans, who are tired of decades of conflict and are happy with the new form of democracy with all its shortcomings. From young to old, everyone is eagerly anticipating the polls. On Tuesday, one of the front-runners in the presidential election, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, held a campaign rally at the famous football stadium in Kabul, which drew huge crowds despite the fear of a terrorist attack.
Kabul resident Pashtun Karim, a 55-year-old widow, says she will definitely vote. Her daughter, Freshta, 21, will get to vote for the first time and is excited as well. As a young woman working with an INGO, she is worried about negotiations and the prospect of compromising with the Taliban, and hence wants to use her vote judiciously for a peaceful transition.
The government is trying everything it can to make sure that the election is held peacefully. The Defence Ministry announced on Wednesday that about 195,000 Afghan National Police (ANP), National Directorate of Security (NDS) and Afghan National Army (ANA) forces would be deployed for the elections.
More than terror strikes, the impeding withdrawal of NATO forces or foreign aid, what common Afghans are worried about the most is the peaceful transition of power – if that happens at all. Though optimistic about a brighter future, Shafeek Seddiq, the president of the Afghanistan Justice Organisation, says, "One of the key factors that may endanger the process towards brighter future is not as much the NATO withdrawal, the grants, funds and donors, but a peaceful transition of power, and acceptance of whoever wins, that will be key to bringing peaceful transition, progress and continuing development."
In fact, in his final campaign speech presidential hopeful Ashraf Ghani thanked incumbent President Hamid Karzai for his willingness to hand over presidency in accordance with the Afghan Constitution for the first time ever in Afghanistan's history.
Meanwhile, the IEC has reaffirmed its commitment of holding free and fair elections. "The Election Commission will honour its promise to the nation and ensure impartiality in the elections," IEC Chairman Ahmad Yusuf Nuristani said on Wednesday.

Crosby saves Canada in shootout win over Swiss
Heatley also had a hand - or, actually, leant his back - as Canada scored again in the opening minute of the second period after Yannick Weber got sent off a second time for hooking. Shea Weber's drive from the left point off a faceoff win deflected off Heatley's back to Marleau, who jammed it into the net.
"I thought at the beginning we were a little slow. The Canadian guys were all over us. After the second goal that made it 2-0, it could go either way," said Islanders defenseman Mark Streit, the Swiss' only NHL skater. "It could be 6-0. But we played hard, we didn't give up, we sacrificed, we stuck with our game plan and we came back."
Only this time, Canada did, too.

US to Launch New Moon Mission
UDAIPUR, India (AFP) — The United States will launch a mission in 2010 to land two stationary robots on the moon to collect rock samples before returning to earth, a US scientist revealed.
Carle Pieters of Brown University's Department of Geological Sciences, who is involved in the US space program, said Thursday that the aim of the Moonrise Mission was to land at the moon's largest and oldest crater — the South Pole Aitken Basin.
"The purpose is to study how long ago the basin was formed and return materials derived from the deep interior to earth for analysis," Pieters said.
"It will also help us to understand the unique process of how basins are formed."
Pieters is also the chairwoman of the International Lunar Exploration Working Group, an organisation formed to promote cooperation between nations.
She said scientists in the United States were still identifying which landing spots in the basin would be good for the twin robots to gather samples.
"Each robot will collect one kilogramme of rocks and fragments which will give us an insight of the basin's geological history," she told delegates at the International Conference on Exploration and Utilisation of the Moon in northern Indian city of Udaipur.
More than 200 delegates from 16 countries are participating in the five-day conference ending Friday.

- Network: FX
- Series Premiere Date: Jan 30, 2013
- Starring: Lev Gorn, Keri Russell, Susan Misner
- Summary: Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) are KGB agents posing as married Americans just outside of Washington D.C. during the 1980s.
- Genre(s): Drama
- Creator: Joe Weisberg
- Season 1 premiere date: Jan 30, 2013
- Episode Length: 60
- Air Time: 10:00 PM
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 30 out of 35
Mixed: 5 out of 35
Negative: 0 out of 35
Based on the admittedly small sample size of two episodes, The Americans feels like it could very comfortably slot in with the upper tier of FX dramas. That's about as good as it gets.
It's a subtle, complex portrait of a relationship etched into an engaging espionage thriller set in 1981.
By episode 2, though, after the crammed (and super-sized) premiere, [creator] Weisberg reveals a sure sense of detail that bodes well for the future of the series.
[An] exciting but frustrating spy thriller from former CIA employee and writer-executive producer Joe Weisberg, skillfully captures the anxiety of the age.
The Americans at the moment seems to fall uneasily between the methodical and the campy.
Score distribution:
Positive: 58 out of 66
Mixed: 3 out of 66
Negative: 5 out of 66

It has the right pace and stays within the realms of plausibility, characters look like any other flawed human being, with their own dramas and inner conflicts. The show doesn't try to portrait anyone as the "bad" guy, its just a bunch of people tied into a messed world trying to do their best to protect what they believe is right.
People seem to criticize this show for being slow paced, yes it is slow paced, but that is the goal, do we need another completely unbelievable and ridiculous show with the usual cliche bad commies and the strong patriotic american hero?

Apr 11, 2013Instead of the leads in 'The Americans' who have been dissected enough by everyone, I'd like to talk about one of the ancillaryInstead of the leads in 'The Americans' who have been dissected enough by everyone, I'd like to talk about one of the ancillary characters.There's the archetype of the Seductress, the Siren, in Literature, TV and Cinema the lady who uses her let's say Womanly charms to get men to do her bidding. Here's how it plays out in any visual medium –well endowed Women sleep with Men and then these poor saps proceed to grant there wish as soon as the act is done tell them their life story and inconsequential things like revealing where the nuclear launch codes are and such. Men know it's hogwash they've known it all along, all the Film TV Show creators want the audience to believe that is all there is to it and all men are indeed that stupid (I'll grant you some are) and for some reason the audience decides to play along. Every single time, same MO large breasted woman a squirrely little Man seduction 101! Meet Nina (I have no idea who is playing that role she works for the KGB in an administrative capacity it's made clear to us she doesn't do any "spy" stuff. I was mesmerized by her performance. I doubt too many people will notice it or talk about it. But I urge you to observe her closely Nina is pretty but not stunning, definitely not the stuff the fantasies of teenage Boys are made of. Watch how she interacts with men there are no suggestive glances, she never flirts with them or for that matter does anything at all to indicate she might have a romantic interest in them. She looks vulnerable but does not try to come across as a damsel in distress. She's always fully clad Not even a hint of cleavage, the camera too always stays on her face. She is very conscious of the effect she has on men and yet very deliberately underplays her sexuality she speaks softly, always polite and demands absolutely nothing from them, Men find themselves instinctively drawn to her because it's so apparent that she doesn't have an agenda. Her handler is an intelligent FBI agent who'd good at being one despite himself he somehow ends up wanting to rescue her (so to speak). I was completely in thrall of her, she has played this role with such consummate finesse that you'll totally understand why men end up wanting her. The lore of 'Mata Hari' would have us believe that she was some kind of a Sexual Goddess, I somehow doubt that there had to be something more to her, I believe she might have been someone like Nina. And like our FBI agent I promise you the thought will cross your mind about what she might be wearing underneath those garbs and when his Boss tell him "Woman like that could have us for breakfast. Did she have you for breakfast Stan" you'll know exactly what he means. Male protagonist is played by Matthew Rhys (unknown name to me), he has given a stellar performance as a KGB agent hiding in plain sight (at par with our Mr.Brody from Homeland), Rhys too could have easily played the lead in Homeland. The only weak link in this otherwise tightly knit espionage thriller is the female lead played by Keri Russell. The problem is, Claire Danes has acted the hell out of the role she plays in Homeland the comparison therefore is inevitable. Unlike Carrie Mathison who survives on hers wits Keri's character is something else altogether. We see her more than once beating men weighing 120kgs to a pulp, I don't care if you were trained by the KGB in the cold and desolate grounds of Siberia for 5 years or lived among the Shaolin monks for a decade, fact is if you weigh 40Kgs you'r not going to take a 140Kg gorilla down. It's not about skills it's just biology. The show is still a very pleasant and refreshing change from countless other espionage dramas we have seen. One overused and quite frankly rather annoying plot device which writers use is "hacking". Need access to information no problem just hack the_fill agency name here_database, generic meaningless drivel which is indicative of poor and lazy writing. You find yourself in a corner, get imaginative and have the characters hack there way out of whatever quandary they find themselves in the real "hacks" in my opinion are the writers here.Good thing it's set in the 1980s so people have to rely on some good old fashioned John le Carre style spycraft to get the desired results and access to information. Sure, some parts of the show do defy belief at times but they never come close to being incredulous, what's also different is during such parts unlike other shows characters don't say that the caper they are planning is brilliant and flawless, like the Audience they too know it's stupid, will not work and could get them killed and they say precisely that. Tough not to like a Hero brave enough to acknowledge that.Just so you know where I'm coming from, 'Homeland' is a 10 in my book if you liked that show you'll like this one too.… Expand

The Bonnie and Clyde of spies. The Americans have a brilliant way of grooming the audience to see how our enemies sees and thinks against the U.S. The show allows you to observe how agent Russian spy terrorist are transformed into U.S. citizens, so they can destroy this country from within. There is great choreography action like Bourne Identity, plenty of drama, light humor, as well as intelligence. It flows well with lots of flashbacks and comes together through the editing. The show is like a snake, if you don't see what's coming, it will bite you. Some Americans also had a sympathetic heart and twisted love affair for Bonnie and Clyde which murdered innocent people and committed felonies, because they seemed like romantic criminals in the category of Romeo and Juliette. We as an audience have become seduced and drawn in by shows like Dexter True Blood and The Bible series which provides us with a mask to become something other than human for a moment. It allows us to disguise our dysfunctional corrupt fantasies that feeds our hunger for blood and vengeance that we may have against our enemies or those we want to take our anger out on. Since we can't commit the crime, we allow the illusion of Hollywood to produce this craving for us and say its just TV. So we wash our hands from guilt and shame. We claim innocent because we are just witnesses to a sick fantasy. But in truth we know that we are curious like the cat. We as an audience desire evil and good, because we are underneath still children with a sweet tooth for eye candy, wanting Scandal and to be The Americans, even if it asks you to look through the Russian enemies eyes for a moment as a spy against your country and see how they think, feel, just like human beings who are terrorist but still hate The Americans and wish to see harm. Whether the show is sympathizing to glorify enemies of this countries or terrorist attempting to see harm come to innocent children and citizens of this country, through War or attacks, remember its just TV and innocent entertainment. Hollywood allows you to root for the terrorist as the hero for a season, because even terrorist have feelings, family and enemies just like The Americans.… Expand

Mud Hens' Hessman IL's MVP
JETTA FRASER/THE TOLEDO BLADE / THE BLADE/JETTA FRASER Enlarge | Buy This Photo
Mud Hens third baseman Mike Hessman has been named the International League's most valuable player for the 2007 season.
Hessman leads the IL with 31 home runs and 98 RBIs and Toledo has clinched the IL West title for the third straight season.
The postseason awards and all-star team were selected by the league's managers, coaches, media and club representatives.
Mud Hens outfielder Timo Perez was named to the IL all-star team along with Hessman.
Hessman, 29, has already achieved personal highs in home runs and RBIs, and he's batting around .250 this season, well above last season's sub-.200 average. His 16th homer this year, hit on June, made him the all-time home run king in Toledo baseball history. That record total now stands at 84.
"It felt good - it was a big honor," Hessman said. "I never really thought about it. I was actually talking to [Joey] Votto [Monday] when I got on first. He mentioned it and that was actually the first time it crossed my mind.
"Obviously from where I was last year to this year, it's a big improvement, a big honor. I have to give thanks to my teammates and the coaching staff here."
This is Hessman's third season with the Hens, and his sixth in the IL. He played for the Richmond Braves from 2002-2004. Hessman was a member of the Atlanta organization for the first nine years of his career before signing with Detroit as a free agent following the 2004 season. He has played 57 games in the majors - nine with the Tigers.
Previous Mud Hens to win the IL MVP in the modern era were Phil Hiatt (1996), Tim Teufel (1983) and Joe Lis (1976).
Going into last night's game, Perez, 32, was among IL leaders with a .309 batting average (sixth), 151 hits (tied-first), 39 doubles (second) and 76 runs scored (first).
Other IL award winners were: Kevin Slowey, Rochester, most valuable pitcher; Joey Votto, Louisville, rookie of the year; Dave Miley, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, manager of the year.

We must have jobs in Colorado. If Coloradans don't have jobs they don't have money. If they don't have money they don't buy things. If they don't buy things businesses cannot hire people and we end up with fewer jobs. It's a vicious cycle. Colorado government must give business people a guarantee that it will not be raising taxes and initiating unneeded regulation. Business people will then be confident in maintaining or expanding their operations thereby providing more jobs. Businesses will prosper and they will plan for expansion and will provide even more jobs.
As a Colorado Representative I will do my best to unleash the free enterprise economic system that has sustained our state and nation. I will say no to higher taxes and no to costly and unneeded regulation and legislation.

BOISE -- After almost 50 years on the road, the Boise Library announced next month will be the bookmobile's last.
The library had to eliminate the program because of budget cuts.
By parking the bookmobile the library can save $82,000 a year.
Boise Library Director Kevin Booe says the number of people using the bookmobile has dropped drastically since the three branch libraries were built. That was the main reason for cutting the program.
Any decision where you have to reduce is tough, there is no easy decision when you have to reduce a budget, said Booe. The trustees and the council felt it was more important to maintain service hours at our branch locations and maintain our library materials collection, which is really the heart of the library system.
The bookmobile will be parked on Sept. 30. But the library says there is a chance it could be used again in the future.

War rages in new 'Game of Thrones' season
More News from Contributor, Oliver M. Pulumbarit
Season one of HBO's fantasy epic series "Game of Thrones" culminates in a full-scale war between the cruel usurpers to the throne and forces loyal to the martyred Ned Stark (Sean Bean), among other powerful factions.
Based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" books, the series has several characters and houses established in the first season. Around the time of King Robert's (Mark Addy) demise, his right-hand man Ned Stark discovers the incestuous affair between Robert's wife Cersei (Lena Heady) and her twin brother Jaime Lannister (Nokolaj Coster-Landau).
Cersei and Jaime's young child Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) usurp the throne and have Ned killed, prompting the enraged Stark family to marshal loyal forces and declare war on the boy-king and his ilk.
Still grim, foreboding Season two is now airing in Asia, a few episodes behind the United States. Still grim and foreboding, the first new episode of "Game of Thrones" was recently unveiled at 7th High in Taguig.
The episode wastes no time in showing different sides to the ongoing war. Ned's son Robb Stark (Richard Madden) has become a capable strategist and continues to win big battles. He hopes to liberate his sister Sansa (Sophie Turner) from Joffrey's clutches, and find their missing sibling Arya (Maisie Williams).
Arya, disguised as a boy, is befriended by an apprentice blacksmith named Gendry (Joe Dempsie), who happens to be King Robert's biological son and the rightful heir to the throne.
Those tuning in for the first time will be lost; much has been established before and new characters are constantly introduced. But the familiar underdogs have enduring appeal: The dwarf Tyrion (Emmy winner Peter Dinklage) is a misfit who asserts himself in his nephew Joffrey's new regime. Ned's illegitimate son Jon Snow (Kit Harington) fights to prove himself. And young widow Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) now leads her fallen husband's warrior tribe, uncertain of the future.
The supernatural aspects are used sparingly but effectively—Daenerys' small dragons appear briefly, but the undead who threaten the woodlands have yet to make their presence felt again.
The many characters in the series keep the various connected conflicts interesting, and most of them are clearly defined by their noble or sinister agendas. It's hard to predict which camp will claim victory, but this dark and massive "game" of cunning and strategy certainly continues to intrigue and perplex.
"Game of Thrones" season 2 will air Saturdays, 9 p.m., starting tomorrow.

BEAVERTON. Ore. Walmart will be opening a new store in Beaverton that officials said will be different from its usual big box stores.
The new Walmart store will be located in what is currently the Ashley Furniture Home Store on Cornell Rd. It will be a neighborhood market with only groceries and household supplies.
It's an outright allowed use in the zoning code, said Don Mazziotti with the City of Beaverton. It's a retail grocery store, about 43,000 feet in size, a little smaller than a Safeway and way smaller than a Walmart superstore.
Mazziotti said the city has not had any opposition to the plan.
Walmart has not yet announced the exact date that the new store will open.

12 Sep Shopping At One of the Best & Cheapest Stores in Town: My Closet
by ATFDC Contributor Dionna Humphrey
Six weeks ago, I had surgery on my foot. Needless to say, I've missed quite a few events because of it (although I was always guaranteed a seat on the bus so I take the good with the bad). But Fashion Night Out was one I didn't want to miss. Plus I was really excited to wear my new fabulous dress from Forever21!
I've been slowly getting back into some of my favorite shoes & I figured my low kitten heels would be ok. I was wrong. Thankfully there was a DSW nearby so I could rescue myself from major pain & find something to go with my dress. Cute & comfy boots to the rescue! Unfortunately it was money I didn't have to spend.
So for this week's post, I've decided to go shopping at one of the best and cheapest stores in town: my closet. Booties have been big for the past few years and they are one of my fashion staples. These booties from Blowfish are a perfect compliment to a lot of pieces in my closet.
Sunday I had brunch with a friend and opted to pair them with one of my favorite rompers from ASOS & and an Old Navy clutch. I also recently bought a faux leather panel skirt from Forever21 that I will rock with these booties & a denim top or sheer black top. Of course booties are really easy to pair with pair of jeans & your favorite top for a more relaxed look.
As a style consultant, I always stress to my clients that before you head to the store, you should always look in your closet for any hidden gems or inspiration. A tight budget is most definitely an incentive to give some of those clothes collecting dust another look! Even though I have a pair of booties from Aldo that I adore, these Blowfish booties are a bit more casual, and can be played down with a lot of options from skirts to jeans.
I will be going on the hunt for more boots for curvy fashiontonians in the near future, stay tuned!

Zimbabwean Indigenization Minister Saviour Kasukuwere's assertion that a sovereign wealth fund created from stakes ceded by foreign-owned companies is worth $4 billion was questioned by economists who said the announcement may be aimed at securing votes ahead of elections.
Zimbabwe may cancel business licenses held by foreign-owned companies if they don't comply with a requirement to cede 51 percent ownership to black Zimbabweans, Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere said.
Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd.'s Zimbabwean unit, known as Zimplats, has failed to meet new laws on asset ownership and may have its mining license revoked, according to Indigenization Minister Saviour Kasukuwere.
While Zimbabwe and Zambia squabble over fishing rights in the world's biggest dam, an invasion of Australian crayfish and Nile tilapia is threatening to wreak havoc with Lake Kariba's indigenous species.
Zimbabwe, which is compelling foreign-owned companies to cede control of their businesses to black citizens of the country, plans to establish a sovereign wealth fund that will hold stakes in mining companies.
Mining companies operating in Zimbabwe will not be given so-called "empowerment credits" for social initiatives, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere said.
Zimbabwean Indigenization Minister Saviour Kasukuwere said he will meet Barclays Africa Chief Executive Officer Kennedy Bungane about plans by the lender's local unit to sell a majority stake to black citizens by June.
Mimosa Mining, a Zimbabwean joint venture between Aquarius Platinum Ltd. and Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd., transferred a 10 percent stake to the community, said Saviour Kasukuwere, the empowerment minister.
"We're not unhappy with their plan, but it needs further work and tidying up."

4 cops accused of extorting money from detained Koreans
MANILA, Philippines—Four policemen were charged with robbery and extortion on Tuesday for allegedly detaining four Korean tourists last year on a charge of illegal use of marijuana and demanding $30,000 or more than P1 million for their release.
Senior Inspector Glenn Gonzales and Police Officer 2 Richard Sibayan of the Manila Police District's Sta. Cruz Station, and PO1 George Borabo and PO2 Jolly Aliangan of the Sampaloc Station were named respondents in the case filed in the Manila Regional Trial Court.
Assistant City Prosecutor Jesse Tiburan recommended the robbery extortion case last December based on the complaint of Kim Youn Ho, 44; Lee Byung Soup, 58; Nam Sang Jik, 56. Do Wan Kuk was also detained but did not execute an affidavit.
In his defense, Gonzales, then chief of the Sta. Cruz Station's anti-illegal drugs unit, provided documents that he was not present during the alleged extortion.
He was attending a narcotics course conducted by the US Department of Justice's International Criminal Investigation Training Assistance Program in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
The counteraffidavits of the three other accused showed that Senior Inspector Paulito Sabulao, former Sampaloc anti-illegal drugs unit chief, was the leader of the operation that arrested the Koreans suspected of using marijuana.
In the complaint, the Koreans said they were supposed to leave on a 2:30 p.m. flight on Feb. 14, 2012, but their tour guide, Choi Jang Tae, convinced them to shop in a nearby mall that morning.
Shortly after the group left Diamond Hotel in Malate, Manila, three men alighted from a van, pointed guns at them and told them to get inside the vehicle, the complaint said.
The Korean tourists said they were taken to a police station, later identified as the Sta. Cruz Station. A button that fell from one of the Koreans' shirt was found in a room there.
"We were told that we are under arrest because of marijuana found in us which is complete lies as we do not have marijuana and immediately we were shown sachet of marijuana," the complaint-affidavit said.
"We were told that we can actually settle the case by paying $30,000 in exchange for our release and dropping of cases," it added.
The Koreans were told to seek help from their tour companions left in the hotel. When the latter refused, the detained tourists were told to contact their family in Korea and deposit $6,000 each in a Hana Bank Korea account under the name of Kim Hae Won.
That afternoon, the Korean tourists were released after payment was confirmed. They sought the help of the Korean Embassy afterward and filed a complaint. The respondents were identified through the police personal data sheets.
In a counteraffidavit, Sibayan said Sabulao, Borabo and Aliangan of the Sampaloc station coordinated with his unit (Sta. Cruz) for an operation in their area to arrest Koreans suspected of using marijuana.
A certain Tom, later identified as Gi Il Bang, and Choi, the tour guide, were the informants. They also served as interpreters and negotiators during the detention.
Sibayan said he didn't have any participation or knowledge in the alleged extortion and the Koreans were later released for lack of evidence.
He said sachets of marijuana were found not in the Koreans' possession but in the police van.
Though the illegal drugs may have been dropped there when the Koreans boarded, it was flimsy evidence to pursue and so he was ordered by then Sta. Cruz station commander Supt. James Afalla to let the Koreans go.
"Hindi makatarungan para sa isang mababang pulis na katulad ko ang idiin sa isang krimen na hindi ko ginawa o namalayan na nangyari dahil sa kakulangan ko ng sapat na aral sa wikang Koreano," Sibayan said.

Einstein, Polanyi and the Laws of Nature.
Let me start this review of Lydia Jaeger's Einstein, Polanyi and the Laws of Nature by seconding her view that "Let us not merely try to understand the extraordinary actions of the Lord, but let us also, and perhaps first and foremost try to think about how he usually acts in his creation" (p. 216). So much of the science and religion literature focuses on miracles and extraordinary interventions without first getting its bearings on how God normally acts in creation. Fixing more attention on God's normal ways of working in creation is Jaeger's best idea.
Part 1 of the book focuses on the work of Michael Polanyi. While Jaeger gives a serviceable introduction to his epistemological views for those unfamiliar with them, readers already familiar with Polanyi's thinking will find nothing new here and can skip to one of the other parts without loss. In Part 2, Jaeger focuses on Albert Einstein. The introduction to Einstein's thinking on nature, philosophy, and religion is serviceable for anyone unfamiliar with these. Anyone already acquainted with these aspects of Einstein can skip to one of the other parts of the book without loss.
It is Part 3, where Jaeger focuses on the concept of laws of nature in the Bible and science that is potentially the most interesting to PSCF readers. In chapter 1 of Part 3, Jaeger writes that "the Old Testament reveals the duality of its thinking about nature. On the one hand, natural phenomena are tied to rules, to a stable order; on the other, the Lord causes them through immediate action" (p. 139, emphasis added). As many biblical and theological scholars have emphasized, God is never pictured in the Bible as doing anything in immediate or unmediated fashion-his acts in creation are always mediated. (1) So Jaeger starts out her analysis by adopting a false dichotomy that has been very dominant in both religious and secular thinking about God and creation since the eighteenth century: Every event in nature either occurs because of God's unmediated activity or occurs due to natural processes without any influence of God whatsoever. This dichotomy is foreign to the Bible, and places any analyses of divine action and laws of natural and the created order into a straightjacket. I found Jaeger's discussion of nature, laws, and God's activity in creation in this chapter to basically be reading this dichotomy into the biblical texts (this is what many of her sources do as well). The concept of mediation has been sorely neglected in theology and hermeneutics and offers a way out of the false dichotomy. (2) Unfortunately, mediated action only gets some glancing mentions in the book (e.g., p. 144). Readers will not find the clarity and insight they seek here.
After a summative discussion of historical sources for the origin and motivation for the modern conception of laws of nature (chapter 2, Part 3), Jaeger's conclusion is that biblical revelation provided necessary conditions for the development of the modern notion of laws. In agreement with sound scholarship on the question, she acknowledges that biblical revelation does not provide sufficient conditions for the modern notion of laws. Moreover, through exploring aspects of philosophy of science as well as developments in relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and chaos (chapter 3, Part 3), Jaeger concludes that biblical usage of "law" is in terms of "everyday language" and "prescientific" as in premodern science (pp. 206-7). Yet, only those who have not read much in the literature discussing the history of science and religion will find new information on laws of nature in Part 3.
The fundamental difficulty with this book is that despite its overwhelming number of footnotes (three chapters have over 78; two more chapters, over 100; and one chapter even has 238!), it reads as if Jaeger is only first coming to terms with the science-religion literature and only has a narrow feel for what has been explored therein. The best way to read this book is to obtain it from the library and only look at the parts that interest you as this is not a book that PSCF readers should purchase.
A final warning: This book was originally written in French which, as with many languages, makes clear the distinction between the use of the second person plural to refer to the self--the so-called royal we--and the third person plural to refer to a group of people. Unfortunately, the translation of Jaeger's book collapses these different senses together. The translation did her a disservice by not using "I" whenever she referred to herself, or at least substituting "humans," "people," or some other elocution for "we" whenever Jaeger refers to people in general. Readers will grow tired of constantly having to ask, "Who is the 'we'?" page after page.

Good to hear she's doing better! I agree with a pp that pumping doesn't necessarily dictate how much milk you're making. I never responded well to the pump, I only ever got a tiny bit, and yet ds nursed really well and got more than enough. I just don't think pumps are nearly as effective or efficient as a baby's mouth, although of course they're totally helpful for things like this. Keep going! Don't give in on the formula, you're doing great!!

A new elementary school could be in the town's future if this week's school board discussions gain any traction. But that could mean delaying renovation work at the junior high school. Board members at the meeting agreed that a $38 million project to renovate Coffin Elementary School and Brunswick Junior High School would be too costly for the town to do all at once.

It may seem expensive to budget to do online in-service education well, but it costs more in the long-run to do it poorly, and even more to skip it altogether.
Robotics and poetry aren't an ordinary combination. But together, they represent one Pennsylvania district's expansion from STEM to STEAM, adding an element of art to math and science.
Shanaysha Sauls, the parent of a city school student and career educator who has served as a member since 2010, will begin her post as chairwoman on July 1, replacing long-time head Neil Duke whose term ends on June 30.
A former Armstrong (Va.) High School principal who has held districtwide positions in three Virginia school systems has been named the interim superintendent of Richmond Public Schools.
About 75 educators attended a safety drill this week, where Limerick Township (Pa.) Police Chief Bill Albany and Upper Providence (Pa.) Sgt. Rob Solorio gave a presentation about school shootings, answered questions (Is it better to shelter in place or run?), and dispelled some outdated notions about safety ("A cafeteria table is not cover.")
U.S. elementary and middle school students have sharpened their reading and math skills since the 1970s, while 17-year-olds stagnated, federal tests show. Almost half of 9-year-olds knew basic arithmetic last year, up from 20 percent in 1978, according to a U.S. Education Department report. Yet, only 7 percent of 17-year-olds solved routine problems involving fractions, percents, algebra, exponents and square roots, the same level as 34 years earlier.
Candy bars, doughnuts, and regular potato chips will become scarce in schools under new federal rules released Thursday, replaced by healthier options such as granola bars, trail mix, and baked chips. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's new "Smart Snacks in School" nutrition standards represent the first nutritional overhaul of school snacks in more than 30 years.
In a small school on the South Side of Chicago, 40 children between the ages of five and six sit quietly learning in a classroom. In front of each of them is a computer running software called Reading Eggs. The director of North Kenwood-Oakland school says this sort of teaching, blending software with human intervention, helps her pupils learn faster.
The district has swelled about 60 percent in a little over a dozen years, according to the study from real estate consulting group CBRE.

My husband and I have been married nearly 2yrs and have a 7mo son together. Can we apply for citizenship together since we have met the 1.5yr of marriage req (if this is correct)?
*i tried searching the site, but I didn't find anything pertaining to this question.

The biggest fulfillment I get out of life is...
The biggest fulfillment I get out of life is to feel like I've added value to those around me by being present in the moment and participating in creating incredible experiences together! I enjoy all kinds of conversations about almost anything with people from all walks of life. I'm intelligent, adventurous, assertive and accepting! I love doing things with my hands and going outdoors even though I work in an offices (which I try to liven up to my best ability haha). In my spare time I like to work on construction projects, play piano or guitar, paint, go rock climbing or camping and hiking, play volleyball and tennis, watch improv, do amateur acting, or work on a car and get dirty! I'm looking for someone who enjoys versatility and openly embraces the experiences life has to offer and to share those moments with me. I like to think, to challenge, to feel deep emotion and freely express myself. I ride motorcycles, write music and invent companies. I love people and being human and I'm not afraid of having regrets. I'd rather encourage someone to seek greatness than to settle for mediocrity. I'm driven in almost anything that I do and am not afraid to be generous with money or emotion. Family and friendships are very important to me and I love the richness of shared memories and intimate and genuine settings. I find independence very attractive! Being able to stand your ground in a conversation and to confidently take steps to accomplish your goals and dreams is incredibly sexy! As for my ideal match? I'd like to find someone with similarity in life goals who has a career they're passionate about, is intelligent and independent, and welcomes adventure. I do have a "type" but I'm also willing to be surprised - some of the most fun I have in life is in unexpected circumstances. I don't do the back & forth messaging thing on here - it's proven unreliable for identifying chemistry or authenticity for me. I'm looking for women that are brazen enough to quickly have a phone convo, skype, or coffee and to get to know each other offline.

Hamilton manager Billy Reid has a full squad to choose from.
Skipper Alex Neil played 45 minutes of a midweek friendly against Dumbarton following his comeback from a summer hip injury off the bench at Motherwell last weekend.

I broke my jaw and am in a great deal of pain. I am also on methadone, and am on a maintence program--in other words, it is not for pain. Could anybody tell me of any medications that are not an opiate that will relieve severe pain? Thank you!

Toradol is an NSAID just as Ibuprofen and Celebrex are, they don't do a whole lot for severe pain, even your so-called non narcs like Tramadol won't have much effect for the methadone user since it targets the same Mu pain receptors that methadone hogs up. Methadone is a partial angonist, some opiodes do get through to the reciptors but it takes a lot, that only defeats its purpose. The OP is pretty much S out of luck, except to have his dose titrated up.

I once went through a surgery with just Toradol. No narcotics! It seems like its pretty strong to me. But you are right about the methadone thing though. It might not help him anyway.
26 Jun 2007
I am also on methadone maintenance and cannot use standard narcotic pain relievers. I ended up in the ER a couple of months ago with 3 kidney stones and was given an IV of toradol and I was very surprised when it absolutely helped with the pain. In about 30 minutes I was actually able to sit up and move around. They sent me home with a RX for 20 tablets and I ended up taking several in the next week or so until I passed all the stones (not fun!). I am holding on to the pills I have left over and know if I do have some more pain that they work quite well for me.
20 Jul 2007
I know this thread was from a few weeks ago, but I just wanted to say im a recovering opiate addict and my best friend is a PharmD and she swears by Toradol. I need to have my wisdom tooth pulled soon and I cant take any of pain medication so I asked her what was the strongest non-narcotic and she said Toradol.

Mark Stuart still taking steps towards return to Bruins lineup
|01.05.11 at 2:14 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart, out since Dec. 7 with a broken hand a dislocated finger, is making continued progress on the comeback trail.
At the time of his injury, which occurred while making a pass in the team's 3-2 overtime win against the Sabres, general manager Peter Chiarelli projected a four-to-six-week absence from the lineup for the blueliner. Wednesday marked four weeks and one day since the injury. Stuart has been skating without teammates, and prior to Wednesday's practice he took to the ice with strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides. He's not yet to the point where he can work with pucks, but his coach hopes that he isn't far off.
"He's skating and he's coming along," Julien said of Stuart. "I don't know how far he is from starting to handle pucks, but at least he's on the ice. Things seem to be heading in the right direction."
In 26 games this season, Stuart has a plus-3 rating and a pair of assists to go with 23 penalty minutes.

I am getting the bike ready for her new owner, and in cleaning the bike, have found a new favorite for cleaning aluminummmmmmmm........
It's a metal polish called White Diamond. It is truly amazing. It gets everything black....
Of course I forgot to take a picture of the "before".... best I could do was to stop at mid-cover, and attempt to take a picture (ps I hate these digital cameras with so little control over what happens: flash/no flash, and that's about it...)
This shows the side on the left pretty well cleaned and polished, and the right is how it started out. It took about fifteen minutes to do that on the left...
It gets everything, including hands, very black!.... You squeeze some stuff onto the rag and start rubbing. The rag immediately turns black, so you rub it all with one side of the rag, then go back with some fresh stuff on the other side, and turn it black.... eventually it doesn't get so black, at which point you let it dry to a haze, and when you wipe it off with another sortaclean rag, it shines up!
I don't think I spent much more than half an hour, and probably eight little rags (6" square?) that I had made up from old discarded bath towels.
Pretty amazing stuff! And it leaves a wax on the metal so that it does not spot, stain, etc.... I am sure that it won't last forever, but it sure looks good and will probably be relatively easy to "re-polish"....

It turns out that this disaster was no different. Market participants' belated acknowledgement of the storm's massive impact led to the historical pattern repeating: Markets shook off the storm, rallying for few weeks, before pulling back. They then rallied one last time before calling in sick for the month of October.
And oh, how sickly they were. The action in the first two weeks of that frightful month did significant technical damage to equity markets as trend lines cracked, breadth decayed and a variety of other indicators went from bad to worse. The damage to investor sentiment was just as bad.It has taken some time to repair the technicals as well as investors' psyches. Some of the more astute among you will observe that these two things are often one and the same. By repairing one, you often repair the other.

CryoLife Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for CryoPatch® SG Pulmonary Human Cardiac Patch Shelf-life Extension
ATLANTA, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — CryoLife, Inc., (NYSE: CRY) an implantable biological medical device and cardiovascular tissue processing company, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a five-year shelf-life on its CryoPatch® SG pulmonary human cardiac patch processed with the Company's proprietary SynerGraft® technology. CryoLife's SynerGraft technology is designed to remove allogeneic donor cells and cellular remnants from tissue without compromising the integrity of the underlying collagen matrix.
"This shelf-life extension allows us to make this advanced technology available to more patients," said Steven G. Anderson, CryoLife's president and chief executive officer. "Further, the extended five-year shelf life will simplify the purchasing decisions and tissue inventory management for hospitals."
CryoPatch SG is indicated for the repair or reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), which is a surgery commonly performed in children with congenital heart defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, Truncus Arteriosus, and Pulmonary Atresia. CryoPatch SG is distributed in three anatomic configurations: pulmonary hemi-artery, pulmonary trunk, and pulmonary branch.
Implantation of the CryoPatch SG reduces the risk for induction of HLA class I and class II alloantibodies, based on Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA) measured at up to one year, compared to standard processed pulmonary cardiac tissues. Data have not been provided to evaluate the effect of reduced alloantibodies on the long-term durability, or long-term resistance to rejection by the patient, of the CryoPatch SG.
Avoiding elevated PRA is important for patients receiving CryoPatch SG as some may ultimately require a heart transplant. While the link between immune response and allograft tissue performance is still being debated, there is evidence that an elevated PRA can pose a significant risk to future organ transplant patients.
About CryoLife, Inc.
Founded in 1984, CryoLife, Inc. is a leader in the processing and distribution of implantable living human tissues for use in cardiac and vascular surgeries throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company's CryoValve® SG pulmonary heart valve, processed using CryoLife's proprietary SynerGraft® technology, has FDA 510(k) clearance for the replacement of diseased, damaged, malformed, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic pulmonary valves. The Company's CryoPatch® SG pulmonary human cardiac patch has FDA 510(k) clearance for the repair or reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), which is a surgery commonly performed in children with congenital heart defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot, Truncus Arteriosus, and Pulmonary Atresia. CryoPatch SG is distributed in three anatomic configurations: pulmonary hemi-artery, pulmonary trunk, and pulmonary branch. The Company's BioGlue® Surgical Adhesive is FDA approved as an adjunct to sutures and staples for use in adult patients in open surgical repair of large vessels. BioGlue is also CE marked in the European Community and approved in Canada and Australia for use in soft tissue repair. The Company's BioFoam(TM) Surgical Matrix is CE marked in the European Community for use as an adjunct in the sealing of abdominal parenchymal tissues (liver and spleen) when cessation of bleeding by ligature or other conventional methods is ineffective or impractical. BIOGLUE Aesthetic® Medical Adhesive is CE marked in the European Community for periosteal fixation following endoscopic browplasty (brow lift) in reconstructive plastic surgery and is distributed by a third party for this indication. CryoLife currently distributes HemoStase®, a hemostatic agent, in much of the U.S. for use in cardiac and vascular surgery and in many international markets for cardiac, vascular, and general surgery, subject to certain exclusions.
Statements made in this press release that look forward in time or that express management's beliefs, expectations or hopes are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include those regarding the impact of the five year shelf life on purchasing decisions and tissue inventory management for hospitals, and anticipated effectiveness, benefits and indications for use of CryoPatch SG. These future events may not occur as and when expected, if at all, and, together with the Company's business, are subject to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include that CryoPatch SG may not perform as well as expected or provide all of the benefits anticipated, hospital purchasing decisions are impacted by a number of factors, including price and reputation, and as a result may not be significantly impacted by the increased shelf life. CryoLife's business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors detailed in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, our Form 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and our Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the Company's other SEC filings. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

Harvesting energy from vehicle air flow using piezoelectrics
Using the new technology automobiles and aircraft, like this Airbus A380, could harness currently wasted kinetic energy to power some systems (Photo: Axwel via Flickr)
Article Summary
Previously, we've looked at technology to generate electricity from roads embedded with piezoelectric crystals that produce electricity when squeezed. Now a group of researchers is looking to shift the technology from the road to the vehicles themselves and use piezoelectrics placed on the vehicles to convert their kinetic energy into electricity.
