Daniel Friedman Releases THE GENESIS ONE CODE
In a new ground breaking book, The Genesis One Code, author Daniel Friedmann tackles the creation-evolution debate head on. Informed by both spiritual and scientific research, he offers a long searched for reconciliation between science and religion.
The creation-evolution controversy, also termed the origins debate, is a recurring cultural, political, and theological dispute about the origins of the Earth, humanity, life, and the universe.
In a January 26, 2013 article in the Economist entitled "Islam and Science - the road to renewal", the article's author points out how the creation-evolution controversy has had a major effect in the development of Arabic-speaking countries. The controversy has also had a major effect in American politics and private school curriculums.
At the heart of the controversy is the question of human origins. However, the argument originally ensued 200 years ago when geologic discoveries showed that the earth was significantly older than the simple reading of Genesis would support. Today scientists have determined that the universe is 13.7 billion years old and life arose on earth 3.5 billion years ago. Meanwhile Genesis places these events on a 6-day timeline occurring less than 6,000 years ago.
But what if the Genesis timeline, for the development of the universe and the appearance of life on earth, matched the findings of science for over a dozen key events, such as the age of the universe? Would this discovery not go a long way toward resolving the creation evolution controversy and free us to move forward with a reconciled view of science and religion?
It turns out that interpretation of scriptural sources allow for the precise determination of what a creation day is in time as measured today by science. Using this time conversion for a creation day it can be demonstrated that there is a clear alignment between the times of key events described in the creation narrative in the book of Genesis with those derived from scientific theory and observation. This work is described for the first time in the recently published book, The Genesis One Code.

9:3 those who would examine me. This statement makes explicit that Paul had indeed been criticized, though scholars debate the specific nature of the complaint (2:1 note). The next ten verses contain more than a dozen rhetorical questions that reflect Paul's deep emotion and provide clues about the historical situation. Paul defends his right to be supported by the churches, only to emphasize his choice not to receive support (vv. 15–18). Perhaps some of the Corinthians were upset because Paul refused their patronage, and concluded from this that he was not a legitimate apostle (2 Cor. 11:7–12). If not, why should they listen to his instruction?

Fantasy is What Drives Guy's Minds Today
Now more than ever men are obsessed with fantasy. When they think they are about to get laid they come with this huge fantasy of the girl doing what ever they want them to.
Post Comment|0 Liked It
I am sure that people thought that this section was going to be about sex and the male mind. It would be if I were qualified. Only thing that I have going for me is that I am a guy. But really today men will sit around their computer for hours. Not watching Hulu or playing an online game, but studying what their favorite fantasy football player is going to do this week.
I am a huge fan of baseball, I live in the city that is crazy about baseball, our football team is getting better, and our hockey team is good, but when it comes to fantasy sports I am addicted. Just like most guys today everyone plays fantasy sports. Ask any guy I bet 80 percent will say so. But do these fantasies make us not as supportive of our own teams.
To be honest when I had surgery two years ago one of the first things that I asked for was my laptop. I had to update my lineup for fantasy baseball. I would always have the TV on to ESPN and I would always stay tuned to it till I knew everything going on that day. That summer I could have told you any stat from any player and what they would do and who they would play. I was downright addicted. And when the times came when someone would have to play my beloved Cards, I would sometimes root against the Cardinals for a short time or if the person I was playing that week had Albert Pujols I would hope that he would strike out.
Fantasy sports have recently turned avid fans into wishy-washy people. I love the Rams but every year I get disappointed and I would always invest in their defense or Josh Brown or Steven Jackson but I would soon hate my team after every Sunday cause they failed me by either losing (most of the time) or on rare occasions winning. If I were to choose between winning my fantasy league which is not even for money or going on a date with a really good looking girl I would choose the championship that I could brag to all my friends.
But being an avid fan these days is more band-wagonning than actually sticking to a team. I may be wrong about this but I see more people who will root against the Cubs while wearing a jersey that are playing fantasy than actually rooting.
This fantasy that is controlling most men does not involve women. Why don't we have a pick a Playboy Draft? But yet we care more about being able to control million dollar players to the point of insanity.
Now granite there is women who play but way more men. Using me as an example, I might be the extreme but I every year have: 5-6 football leagues, 9-12 baseball leagues, 1 NCAA March-madness pick player drafts, 1 pick the NFL playoffs, I fill out any where from 25-60 NCAA March-madness brackets, 1-2 NHL leagues, 7-8 NBA leagues, and also a Fantasy golf team.
It can control people's life and is very addicting. But nothing is more interesting than our fantasies.

The annual NFL owner's meeting starts tomorrow, Monday March 25th and runs through Thurs March 28th. The Owners meeting is where the league finalizes the annual 32 compensatory picks and announces them to the teams.
The Raiders are widely expected to get fairly good compensatory picks based on losing elite CB Nnamdi Asomougha and other free agents last year. The maximum picks that can be awarded a team is 4. It seems unlikely the Raiders will get that many.
TFDS' guess is that the Raiders will get 3 compensatory picks - the first one in the third round, a 5th round and a 7th round pick. The compensatory picks come in at the end of the round. Most awarded will be at the end of th 7th round.
Normally the first pick available is the 97th pick but if the Raiders get the first possible pick this year, it would be 95th overall because the Raiders' 3rd round pick is gone with the selection of Terrelle Pryor in the supplemental draft and the Saints' 2nd round pick was revoked as part of the punishment for the bounties.

-->"Boys are creatures whose sight will follow the girl they like wherever she is. And if there it comes the chance that the boy realizes that the girl is in danger, if he is able to save her they will feel the ultimate bliss in life" is something that Harisugawa Tetsu has pointed out, and true enough he has always been following with his eyes the girl named Satomi Mao."
-->'''Opening Narration'''
Thanks to certain circumstances in their childhood, a girl named Mao Satomi has always been friendlier with Tetsu Harisugawa than any other guy. [[ObliviousToLove Little does she know]] that ever since he was young Tetsu Harisugawa had had a crush on her.
Tetsu chooses to keep playing the friend part, keeping his feelings hidden for the sake of not endangering the closeness that they already have. Tetsu believes that if he can build a good relationship with Mao little by little he will get to the point where he can confidently confess to Mao and not get rejected.
At first it seems that this "stalemate" will never be broken; however, one day Mao sees a strange mirror in a thrift store and for some reason she feels that she must have that mirror. Mao buys the mirror on impulse, completely unaware that the mirror will bring great changes to her life-- as well as Harisugawa's.
''Harisugawa in Mirror World'' (''KagamiNoKuniNoHarisugawa'') Is a manga by KANO Yasuhiro and it's published in ''Magazine/ShonenJump''.
!!This manga contains examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Harisugawa, due to the nature of the mirror.
** In one instance Mao "catches" him in the hot springs, but thankfully the misunderstanding is cleared up.
* BarbieDollAnatomy
* BrickJoke: How he got into the mirror: Harisugawa saved Mao from getting hit by a car in the ''EXACT'' same way he did when they were young.
* CannotSpitItOut: Suda and Harisugawa to Mao.
** Of course, given Harisugawa's current circumstances, he has good reason not to spit it out yet.
** Averted by [[spoiler: Saki]], saying she prefers to get things over with.
* DudeMagnet: Mao. Not that she notices.
* [[spoiler:FailureIsTheOnlyOption]]: [[spoiler:A consequence of breaking the curse is that Harisugawa's love interest will lose all memories of being in love with him.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: As of Chapter 16, Saki]] tells this to [[spoiler: Harisugawa]].
** Not exactly, given that [[spoiler: she hasn't really given up on him, just that she will let Harisugawa try his chances with Mao first, and says that he can always choose her if Mao rejects him]].
* LoveTriangle: Harisugawa likes Mao, who in turn ''thinks'' Harisugawa likes her best friend Saki, [[spoiler: when it's actually the other way around. Turns out it goes both ways.]]
* MagicMirror: Harisugawa gets trapped in one and much of the plot is driven by him trying to figure out how to get out.
** So far it lets him see the outside world through any mirror the Master Mirror (the original mirror) reflects, and it lets him switch places with Mao if they touch each other through the mirror.
** [[spoiler:And now Saki too]]
* MirrorScare: Juri was frightened when she saw a [[MirrorMonster "weird looking guy" in Mao's dresser mirror]]. It was actually Harisugawa trying to see through a new "window" (a mirror that was reflect on by the Master Mirror).
* {{Nosebleed}}: Happens a lot to Harisugawa.
* MundaneUtility: Those trapped in the mirror do not need to eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom. Saki decides that this should be used to watch a 24 hour TV marathon.
* ObliviousToLove: '''Mao'''!! [[spoiler:She finally figures it out in chapter 25]]
* OhCrap: Suda and Harisugawa pushed each other into the hot spring while the girls were entering.
** FromBadToWorse: Suda after he realizes there are two entrances and no blind spot.
* PantyShot: Becomes a plot point.
* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: Harisugawa, of course.
** [[spoiler: Also Saki]]
* PoorPredictableRock: Mao almost always chooses Scissors first, a fact that all of those who are close to her up til middle school knew. She only learned about it when Matsukawa Saki told her.
* PornStash: Harisugawa, upon realizing that he'll be living in a mirror for awhile, heads home to get rid of the one in his room so his mom doesn't find it while he's away.
** Much to his dad's dismay.
* ThePowerOfLove: Apparently the only way for Harisugawa to get out of the mirror is [[spoiler: for [[{{Polyamory}} all girls who are partners to return his affections and vise versa]]]].
** [[spoiler:Deconsructed as the partners will forget the affections once it's broken.]]
* [[spoiler: ResetButtonEnding]]: [[spoiler: Due to the [[LaserGuidedAmnesia nature of the mirror]], Mao forgot her feelings of love for Harisugawa. It's even lampshaded with both Mao and Harisugawa saying "Everything's back to how it was!". That's not to say Harisugawa will let things stay that way; in fact, just a few pages later he yells his confession to Mao.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Suda
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Harisugawa

Hi Jabez.
You asked "Hi Dria. Is there a ready-made page template to allow me to add new pages to the DOM reference please, in place of those red colored dead-end links?"
- We don't have a template, no, but if you're going to document new things, just copy the general structure from another page in the reference. Thanks in advance for your help! -- dria 05:15, 7 July 2006 (PDT)
DOM Reference comments
Hi, thanks for your help with the DOM reference. Please use the talk pages for your comments instead of putting them (commented out) on the reference page itself. That way, people can see your comments without going into the edit mode.
And please feel free to go ahead and fix the problems you see, after some research. --Nickolay 04:10, 10 July 2006 (PDT)
Ok, thanks Nickolay. I find it helps me to learn the DOM, by trying out small code snippets, and then adding them to the reference. Currently I use Firefox 126.96.36.199 and the FireBug extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/ ) for testing examples. Aardvark is also handy at times for studying page layout. http://karmatics.com/aardvark/ - Jabez
Parameters section
We've been removing that section from the paging (merging it with the Syntax section). Please don't add it back. "Parameters" is not accurate, as it's actually "parameters and return values and maybe something more", and there's no reason for it to be in a separate section. --Nickolay 11:10, 14 July 2006 (PDT)
I did wonder about that. So when I come across a parameter or return values section, shall I just move it to the syntax section?
What about methods that have a long list of parameters, such as:
what shall I do with a long list of parameters like this?
I think it goes without saying that a return value is obviously not a parameter.
- I think we should keep/move the parameters/return values/whatever in/to the Syntax section in all cases.
- (By the way, on the reference pages I edited, the actual parameters were listed first, followed by the return value description. You moved the return value to be the first thing described. I'm fine with it, just FYI in case you wondered about that too.) --Nickolay 18:13, 15 July 2006 (PDT)
OK thanks Nickolay. As we read from left to right, I think it makes sense to keep the return value and the parameter description(s) in the same order as they appear in the declaration. Jabez

Article: The Structure of the Catalytic Domain of a Plant Cellulose Synthase and Its Assembly into Dimers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cellulose microfibrils are para-crystalline arrays of several dozen linear (1→4)-β-d-glucan chains synthesized at the surface of the cell membrane by large, multimeric complexes of synthase proteins. Recombinant catalytic domains of rice (Oryza sativa) CesA8 cellulose synthase form dimers reversibly as the fundamental scaffold units of architecture in the synthase complex. Specificity of binding to UDP and UDP-Glc indicates a properly folded protein, and binding kinetics indicate that each monomer independently synthesizes single glucan chains of cellulose, i.e., two chains per dimer pair. In contrast to structure modeling predictions, solution x-ray scattering studies demonstrate that the monomer is a two-domain, elongated structure, with the smaller domain coupling two monomers into a dimer. The catalytic core of the monomer is accommodated only near its center, with the plant-specific sequences occupying the small domain and an extension distal to the catalytic domain. This configuration is in stark contrast to the domain organization obtained in predicted structures of plant CesA. The arrangement of the catalytic domain within the CesA monomer and dimer provides a foundation for constructing structural models of the synthase complex and defining the relationship between the rosette structure and the cellulose microfibrils they synthesize.The Plant Cell 07/2014; 26(7).

ABSTRACT: Methylation (glycosyl-linkage) analyses of the cell walls from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L., Heynh.) murus mutants revealed variations in the linkage structure compared to wild type. Linkage analyses revealed new features for mutations whose defective gene has not been identified. For example, the low-rhamnose mur8 mutant also shows deficiencies in 4-GalA linkages. No change in the 2-Rha to 2,4-Rha ratio indicates the mutant had lower amounts of rhamnogalacturonan I, but no alteration in its fine structure. For all mur mutants, methylation analysis revealed that changes in other polysaccharides occur indirectly as a result of mutation. All mutants were resolved by Principal Components Analyses applied to normalized mole% values for the total set of linkage groups. The 'loadings' responsible for discrimination of mutant and wild type revealed variation in linkage groups otherwise difficult to discern and, in certain instances when the gene is known, resolved the specific deficiency from indirect effects altering other sugar linkage distributions.06/2012; 89(2):331-9.

ABSTRACT: Grass species represent a major source of food, feed, and fiber crops and potential feedstocks for biofuel production. Most of the biomass is contributed by cell walls that are distinct in composition from all other flowering plants. Identifying cell wall-related genes and their functions underpins a fundamental understanding of growth and development in these species. Toward this goal, we are building a knowledge base of the maize (Zea mays) genes involved in cell wall biology, their expression profiles, and the phenotypic consequences of mutation. Over 750 maize genes were annotated and assembled into gene families predicted to function in cell wall biogenesis. Comparative genomics of maize, rice (Oryza sativa), and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) sequences reveal differences in gene family structure between grass species and a reference eudicot species. Analysis of transcript profile data for cell wall genes in developing maize ovaries revealed that expression within families differed by up to 100-fold. When transcriptional analyses of developing ovaries before pollination from Arabidopsis, rice, and maize were contrasted, distinct sets of cell wall genes were expressed in grasses. These differences in gene family structure and expression between Arabidopsis and the grasses underscore the requirement for a grass-specific genetic model for functional analyses. A UniformMu population proved to be an important resource in both forward- and reverse-genetics approaches to identify hundreds of mutants in cell wall genes. A forward screen of field-grown lines by near-infrared spectroscopic screen of mature leaves yielded several dozen lines with heritable spectroscopic phenotypes. Pyrolysis-molecular beam mass spectrometry confirmed that several nir mutants had altered carbohydrate-lignin compositions.Plant physiology 11/2009; 151(4):1703-28.

Article: Maize Brittle stalk2 encodes a COBRA-like protein expressed in early organ development but required for tissue flexibility at maturity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The maize (Zea mays) brittle stalk2 (bk2) is a recessive mutant, the aerial parts of which are easily broken. The bk2 phenotype is developmentally regulated and appears 4 weeks after planting, at about the fifth-leaf stage. Before this time, mutants are indistinguishable from wild-type siblings. Afterward, all organs of the bk2 mutants turn brittle, even the preexisting ones, and they remain brittle throughout the life of the plant. Leaf tension assays and bend tests of the internodes show that the brittle phenotype does not result from loss of tensile strength but from loss in flexibility that causes the tissues to snap instead of bend. The Bk2 gene was cloned by a combination of transposon tagging and a candidate gene approach and found to encode a COBRA-like protein similar to rice (Oryza sativa) BC1 and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) COBRA-LIKE4. The outer periphery of the stalk has fewer vascular bundles, and the sclerids underlying the epidermis possess thinner secondary walls. Relative cellulose content is not strictly correlated with the brittle phenotype. Cellulose content in mature zones of bk2 mature stems is lowered by 40% but is about the same as wild type in developing stems. Although relative cellulose content is lowered in leaves after the onset of the brittle phenotype, total wall mass as a proportion of dry mass is either unchanged or slightly increased, indicating a compensatory increase in noncellulosic carbohydrate mass. Fourier transform infrared spectra indicated an increase in phenolic ester content in the walls of bk2 leaves and stems. Total content of lignin is unaffected in bk2 juvenile leaves before or after appearance of the brittle phenotype, but bk2 mature and developing stems are markedly enriched in lignin compared to wild-type stems. Despite increased lignin in bk2 stems, loss of staining with phloroglucinol and ultraviolet autofluorescence is observed in vascular bundles and sclerid layers. Consistent with the infrared analyses, levels of saponifiable hydroxycinnamates are elevated in bk2 leaves and stems. As Bk2 is highly expressed during early development, well before the onset of the brittle phenotype, we propose that Bk2 functions in a patterning of lignin-cellulosic interactions that maintain organ flexibility rather than having a direct role in cellulose biosynthesis.Plant physiology 01/2008; 145(4):1444-59.

ABSTRACT: About 10% of plant genomes are devoted to cell wall biogenesis. Our goal is to establish methodologies that identify and classify cell wall phenotypes of mutants on a genome-wide scale. Toward this goal, we have used a model system, the elongating maize (Zea mays) coleoptile system, in which cell wall changes are well characterized, to develop a paradigm for classification of a comprehensive range of cell wall architectures altered during development, by environmental perturbation, or by mutation. Dynamic changes in cell walls of etiolated maize coleoptiles, sampled at one-half-d intervals of growth, were analyzed by chemical and enzymatic assays and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The primary walls of grasses are composed of cellulose microfibrils, glucuronoarabinoxylans, and mixed-linkage (1 --> 3),(1 --> 4)-beta-D-glucans, together with smaller amounts of glucomannans, xyloglucans, pectins, and a network of polyphenolic substances. During coleoptile development, changes in cell wall composition included a transient appearance of the (1 --> 3),(1 --> 4)-beta-D-glucans, a gradual loss of arabinose from glucuronoarabinoxylans, and an increase in the relative proportion of cellulose. Infrared spectra reflected these dynamic changes in composition. Although infrared spectra of walls from embryonic, elongating, and senescent coleoptiles were broadly discriminated from each other by exploratory principal components analysis, neural network algorithms (both genetic and Kohonen) could correctly classify infrared spectra from cell walls harvested from individuals differing at one-half-d interval of growth. We tested the predictive capabilities of the model with a maize inbred line, Wisconsin 22, and found it to be accurate in classifying cell walls representing developmental stage. The ability of artificial neural networks to classify infrared spectra from cell walls provides a means to identify many possible classes of cell wall phenotypes. This classification can be broadened to phenotypes resulting from mutations in genes encoding proteins for which a function is yet to be described.Plant physiology 03/2007; 143(3):1314-26.

Abuja — President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday assured Nigerians of his administration's efforts to strengthen the police and armed forces to ensure that "rascals" like Boko Haram terrorists do not embarrass the nation again.
This is as intelligence reports have revealed plans by the terrorist group to over run some states in North Central and North Western Nigeria.
Jonathan gave the assurance during a courtesy call on the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunuade Sijuwade, at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State, before proceeding to Osogbo for a campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Jonathan pointed out that his government would achieve more development goals without the menace of terrorism, hence his commitment to ensuring that Boko Haram does not succeed with its criminality.
His words: "There are certain things we should have done as a government, but because of the situation in the country, we have not been able to do much of them.
"The kind of embarrassment we are receiving now will never continue in this country.
"We want to build a very strong army, the Nigeria police and the Navy and the Air Force so that these rascals called Boko Haram will never stop us because we will surely rout Boko Haram. We are very committed. In the next few months no criminals will ever embarrass us again."
Responding to requests of heavier federal presence made by the Ooni, the President said in addition to ongoing infrastructure works like rail and roads, much more would be done with if the PDP governorship candidate in this week's election, Iyiola Omisore, is elected.
According to Jonathan: "We believe that with Omisore as governor of Osun State leading the team here, working with us at the federal level, we will be able to address some of the requests you made.
"We promise you that the PDP government will continue to meet the expectations of the people."
The President said he was at the palace to also formally present Omisore to the Ooni as the PDP candidate and prayed that having been advised to stay action on his ambition twice in the past by the monarch, it would just be God's time to make him the Osun governor.
He described Omisore as a "fantastic material" for the governorship of the state as result of being humble, service to the people at both state and federal levels and having paid his dues in the politics.
The President noted that although Osun has been a PDP state, the party was denied governorship in the past due to court judgment, but hoped that would be reversed during forthcoming election, even as he declared that "if the court cheated us then, this election will demonstrate that. We believe we will win this election."
In his address read out by his son, Aderemi, the Sijuade recalled having discussed how to solve national security problems with late President Umaru Yar'Adua, but who died prematurely.
He pointed out that the problems being faced by Nigeria today "are man-made and they are not from God Almighty.
"So, I will still appeal to the senior traditional rulers across the country to join hands together with the government to make sure that we have permanent peace and that Boko Haram insurgency and other activities militating against our national growth can become things of the past."
He also recalled advising Omisore to shelve his governorship ambition twice several years ago for Bisi Akande and Olagunsoye Oyinlola, to which the now PDP candidate always responded with "God's time is the best".
The Ooni made sundry requests for his kingdom, Osun State and the Yoruba race, including upgrading of the Ibadan airport, better attention to cocoa production, railway link through Owo; and generally better federal presence in the region.
"Our people in the South West in general and Osun State in particular are yearning to have a better feel of Federal Government presence in the key areas of your transformation agenda", Sijuade added.
President Jonathan also visited the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji (Laraooye II), from who he sought support for Omisore's victory at the polls.
Oba Oyetunji prayed for the President and requested from him a ministerial for Osogbo people "when you return in 2015".
In the President's delegation were Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha; Governor Gabriel Suswam; PDP Chairman, Adamu Mu'azu; BoT Chairman, Tony Anenih; Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesina.
Other cabinet members included Olajumoke Akinjide, Musiliu Obanikoro; Minister of State for Works; Ekiti governor-elect, Ayo Fayose; PDP chieftains; Femi Fani-Kayode, Teslim Folarin, and senior government officials.
Meanwhile, Hijab wearing female Muslims have become objects of fear in Nigeria, as the scare over the emerging trend of female suicide bombers continue to spread across the country.
The fear has also been extended to street hawkers and commercial vehicles, as they are unsure of who could be the next suicide bomber in female claddings.
The situation has been aggravated by the reported rescue and arrest, less than one week ago, of a 10-year-old with explosives strapped around her body in Katisna State.
Also, states like Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Kano and Kaduna States have been penciled down for carefully intensified bombings in choice locations that would result in high casualty figures.
But the Defence Headquarters has waved the reports aside, vowing that the Nigerian military would not relinquish any part of the country to any sect as it has the capacity and would do everything possible to secure the country's territory.
Only on Wednesday, 10-year-old Hadiza Musa was discovered to have been strapped with an explosive belt in Katsina State in the company of her 18-year-old sister, Zainab Musa, and a male, Iliya Dahiru, along Zaria Road in Katsina.
This was after four female teens blew themselves off in Kano and Kaduna States, killing people and injuring many others.
A cross section of Nigerians in separate interviews expressed worry that since members of deadly sect, Boko Haram have resorted to use of female teens as suicide bombers, some of them, including young boys, could be deployed as unsuspecting street hawkers only to launch attack on innocent people in busy areas.
Moses Ifeanyi told Sunday Independent in Abuja how he alighted from a bus with many young dressed women in Muslim hijab during the Sallah for fear of suicide bombers.
"I first boarded El-Rufai Bus from Berger to Nyanya, and the man sitting close to me who apparently was from the market, had cartoons taped together, placed by him. I came down, only to enter another one with many Muslim young girls dressed in hijab.
"I came down again to board a more expensive taxi because I was afraid they may be suicide bombers," he said.
Another resident, Lekan Ismail, said each time he approached a busy place with many street hawkers, especially women adorning hijab, he was always apprehensive.
"Young female girls agreeing to be suicide bombers is very worrisome. Ordinary, if you see a 10-year-old girl, you would want to assist her; but now, I am very weary, I avoid them completely, especially anyone wearing hijab, you never can't tell," he noted.
Director, Army Information, Brigadier General Olajide Oleyele, who described the use of young females as suicide bombers as an evolving trend in the terror tactics, told Sunday Independent that women should be prepared to be searched.
"Again, by our rule of engagement, male security officers are not allowed to search females but we are developing counter-terrorsim strategy to deal with that. You will begin to see increased female security personnel on our roads and other places," he said.
Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mike Omeri, appealed to state and local authorities to stamp out hawking in order to minimise or prevent intending suicide bombers from pretending as hawkers to carry out their nefarious acts.
"We equally want to appeal to parents and local government authorities to help in stamping out hawking on our streets, particularly hawking where minors are involved, if possible keep off the streets so that when you see them on the streets, it will be easier to deal with them," he stated.

All schools closed MondayPublished 2:56pm Sunday, January 9, 2011
Alexander City Schools, Tallapoosa County Schools and Central Alabama Community College will be closed Monday because the Lake Martin area has been placed under an ice storm warning.
A mixture of sleet and snow is falling across the Lake Martin area as of 2:54 p.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service doesn't anticipate any accumulation Sunday afternoon, but it is expected to change to snow this evening.
The snow will then become a mixture of sleet and freezing rain after midnight and continue through the day Monday. Overnight accumulations of snow and ice is expected to be around 1/2 inch while Monday's ice accumulations are expected to be between 0.1 and 0.3 inches.
An ice storm warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring.
"Significant amounts of ice accumulations will make travel dangerous or impossible," the weather service stated in an advisory. "Travel is strongly discouraged. Commerce will likely be severely impacted. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Ice accumulations and winds will likely lead to snapped power lines and falling tree branches that add to the danger."
According to local police radio, Fish Pond Road (Alabama 259) and Alabama 128 have bridges with some icing. Road conditions are expected to deteriorate throughout the day Sunday and Monday.
Gov. Bob Riley has also declared a state of emergency because of the ice storm.
"We face a serious storm that will have an impact all across Alabama," Riley said in a statement. "With the accumulations of ice that are projected to begin tonight, motorists should stay off roads during these conditions. State agencies have been preparing for this dangerous weather and have already called up extra manpower and equipment. However, the most important thing right now is for citizens to be constantly aware of the hazards and to make sure they themselves are prepared. I urge all Alabamians to heed the weather reports and to make sure their families and friends do the same."
Riley said the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has personnel ready throughout the state. Roadway sanding and salting equipment, dump trucks and spreaders are prepared to move. ALDOT crews will continue efforts to keep roadways passable as long as conditions allow. However, based on current forecasts, travelers should expect that many roads statewide will become impassable at some point.
The Alabama Department of Public Safety (DPS) has its officers working 12-hour shifts to assist motorists who insist on traveling, despite the expected dangerous road conditions.
ALDOT and DPS are continually monitoring road and bridge conditions and are prepared to close them if it becomes necessary. Any emergency road closures will be posted online at the ALDOT website:
The ALDOT emergency call center will also be activated beginning 5 p.m. Sunday. The call center is staffed by ALDOT personnel to provide road closure and travel information. The emergency call center number is 888-588-2848.
The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) has activated the state's Emergency Operations Center. Staff and regional coordinators are on alert status and they are prepared to assist local communities with requests for assistance. The National Weather Service is providing AEMA with constant updates on conditions and how the weather is expected to impact Alabama counties. Winter weather awareness information can be found at the AEMA website: Updates from the Alabama EMA can also be followed on Twitter through @AlabamaEMA.
The Alabama National Guard also has 7,000 of its troops on drill duty in the state at this time, and they are focusing on storm preparations as well.
