|« Ethiopia striving to reduce poverty: Japanese ambassador
|Ethiopia - Gondar University graduates over 3400 students »
Ethiopia - Addis Ababa University graduates over 2000 students
Ethiopian News Agency
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia -
Ethiopia's Addis Ababa University on Saturday graduated more than 2000 graduates trained in undergraduate program.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony university's Academic Vice President Dr. Tekalegn Woldemariam said the university will launch improved working system and organization to render efficient service.
Since its inception 57 years before, Dr. Tekalgne said, the University has been graduating a number of trainees in various fields.
The present graduates are trained in fields of social and natural sciences as well as medical science.
Handing over awards to outstanding graduates Professor Emeritus Ermias Dagne urged the graduates to serve the public diligently
Prof. Ermias stressed significance of information communication technology and improved working system to help graduates improve their skill.
I am glad I did not see or read the name of that sleazy creepy homosexual cripple calling himself Endrias E-shit-e!
Serve the country diligently?
…Within a few years, every one of these graduates will leave the nation for the West!
That is just the way it is! And, it is very sad…
You are full of sh*t. You are the first to comment and you have nothing better to say. Get life.
"Inkuan Des Yalachihu, Inkuan Des Yalachihu, Inkuan Des Yalachihu,"
(I hope they haven't changed this iconic graduation song).
Good luck and all the bests.
Wow so after 57 years in a country of over 70million AA University can only graduate 2000 students? Most can't speak a proper sentence in english even after 4 years education taught in english but they now have degrees? No wonder we are so backward and a danger to our selves 90% of them will now runaway to the west and become 4th class citizens living of benefits rather than work in ethiopia for 1800 birr a month and can you blame them?
I hope the quality of the education is ok too. The only way Ethiopia can get out of the misery she is in is by educating and have more a collage graduate…AAU losing the brighter instructors by mass people goes abroad to further their education but by far the majority not returning to their country…..
The addition thing I noticed in one of my many trips to Addis and visiting two of AAU campus with the help of one of my family member. I always wish to visit AAU since I did not get a chance to go to college back in Ethiopia….There was one thing I notice more than anything else and sadden me more than any other thing I saw "good and bad". this particular thing that I noted after I met a student whose major was economics and I asked him to show me what text book he is using for his economics class, I could not believe my eye this guy text book published in 197 and the book practically look like used for century . I am not economist or act one, the last time I took economics is in 1994 when I was the 2nd year's student and I took the class as social elective class… but I can tell that book shouldn't be in the shelf of the library let alone using that book as a text book. The same thing I take a look from one of the student from 5 killo (engineering school) at least the engineering book was not bad. Right after I came back I fully participates with the book drive to AAU and we sent so many books to Ethiopia. Even if the some of the books did not get where we tried to sent it because of the higher education corrupt and stupid system some of the books ended up one of neighboring port ….
Anyhow all the graduate congratulation and wish you more success…
congrats all of you!
Is there a program in place to keep our university graduates in the country by providing them with jobs, or are they going to immigrate to western countries and do jobs below their training, with such a great loss to Ethiopia?
The drama of third world countries that spend a lot of money to educate their chidren and loose them to western countries because they end up jobless or feel insecure in their own land, is one of the main reason for the continued underdevelopment of countries like Ethiopia.
criticsofdictators: U loser, how dare u open your filthy mouth..I know u wont let anything genius through your thick skull..anyways I advise u to munch on things atleast for a week before starting to type..moron
You lazy idiot, what the have you got to do with the intelligent Andreas Eshete. Leave him alone, you crook. It is not about him. The topic here is not about Andreas Eshete. It is about GRADUATION. Loser!!!
. . .hoping they can job. . .not finish yet, after their graduation thats the beginning. . .
It is very sad that this students won't have the chance to work on their graduate (masters) program.
Could any one tell me the starting salary for one student who just graduated?
Send them to Ogden to drill oil so that they could create a job for themselves and be rich. If they stay in Addis their life will be messed up except a few fortunate. So, they have to learn the game "Drill baby drill" which is capitalism 101!!!
Let me tell you something. Non-Tigrayans have long stopped attending AAU because there is no added value education there. AAU is fit to educate only the mehayem TPLF members. The only proud person about AAU who is non-Ethiopian is you. When AAU used to be the center of education, your hero Meles couldn't handle it so he dropped out and run to the Tigray bush to become a blood-thursty shifta.
Criticotdictors, U R morone ,Jelose and nasty person ,The topic was not about one indivisual.It was about 2000 ethiopian ethiopian graduating.UR jelosy didn;t allow u 2 look behain indivisuals.

>Chris Pine
Pine, 25, is a pro at playing Prince Charming. The son of CHiPs costar Robert Pine, he romanced Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2 and now stars with Lindsay Lohan in Just My Luck.
ON SMOOCHING LINDSAY LOHAN She's a great kisser. At the beginning I thought, "Do you do tongue in the movies?" I didn't know so I stayed strictly PG-13.
ON LUCKING INTO ACTING In college I was a total nerd and super shy. My buddy was big in the theater department and he invited me to try it. I never had any romantic visions of acting. I've seen it when it's really good and when there's no money.
ON THE TOUGH LIFE OF A PRETTY BOY Friends tease me all the time. It's mostly for my hair. They'll say, "Your head's getting bigger!" Anything they can think of to make me feel like a schmuck. Or if I ever have a hard day, there's a lot of, "Oh, poor Chris—you had to kiss Lindsay Lohan. You had to kiss Anne Hathaway. Awww."
ON CHANGING HIS IMAGE I just played a neo-Nazi assassin [in Smokin' Aces]. I had a shaved head and blacked-out teeth. I killed Ben Affleck and did a ventriloquism act with his mouth. It was awesome.

George P. Bush and wife, Amanda, expecting baby boy
The Bush dynasty continues.
George P. Bush, the nephew of former president George W. Bush, is expecting a baby boy.
He told me today at the Institute for Policy Innovation luncheon that the name "George" was off the table, though Prescott was a probable option.
Bush is making a run for statewide office next year, perhaps land commissioner.
Bush said his wife, Amanda Bush, a partner at the Jackson Walker law firm, is 24 weeks along in her pregnancy.

What's wrong with these photos? (Hint: I'm not in them!)Katie Allison
I've already mentioned that my two older kiddos, J and E have been at the beach (in Florida) for the past week with their dad and stepmom. They are having a great time, and they won't be home for another day or two. And now, as of yesterday morning, Jon has taken G and C to a different beach (South Carolina) for 5 days with his parents.
So at the moment, everyone in my family is at the beach – my fave place in the world -everyone, that is, EXCEPT ME!
Something is wrong with this picture; I'm the fanatic beach lover in this family, yet I remain landlocked in Knoxville today. It's so unfair. I mean, Jon doesn't even LIKE the beach, although he does like having the time with his family, plus C looooves the beach, and Jon was excited about getting to introduce G to the ocean for the first time. But I really do love the beach in a very powerful way – I have a dream of living on or very near the beach one day – and I didn't go at all last year because our family beach trip had been scheduled for the last week of May/first week of June, and obviously, I wasn't going anywhere at that time.
But this week just wouldn't work out for me to head out with anyone on a beach trip. I have too much going on with various work-related things, and I'm also too busy working on Henry's case to leave town.
So for the moment, I am having to live vicariously through photos of the kids enjoying the sand and water. But I can't wait until August, when I will get to spend a few days on the beach together with all 4 of my kiddos in the same place, plus cousins, aunts and uncles, etc, etc. I really need a beach trip with my children this summer – even if it's just a short one.
My four punkinheads at two different beaches this week.
So what about you? Are you a beach person or a non-beach person? If you like the beach, where do you like to go? And what are your family's vacation plans for this summer? Tell me, and let me live vicariously through you as well 😉

text: By now all but the spring PIAA champs have been crowned. Ponder this. Since the start of the sports year, of the roughly 49 PIAA champs, 22 have been unrestricted private/charter schools. I believe this is a tad bit askew. Restricted public schools fight an increasingly uphill battle against these juggernauts. Public schools are restricted by their own geographic boundaries. Privates/charters aren't and can collect student athletes from anywhere in the world...and they do!

This game does not have any comments yet. Be the first person to share your thoughts!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I dunno why people are complaining, the controls seem fine for a gravity game. Perfect challenge rating. 5/5
Feb. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A nice little puzzler. Not hard enough to where I got frustrated, but I didn't breeze through without some thinking. Interesting to know that only the front of enemies can kill you; you can jump on them, have them land on you, or touch their back and be fine. A shame more of the puzzles didn't do anything with that. One suggestion: while you can restart with "R," you can't do so when you're at the menu after you die and you have to switch to the mouse to do it. Would be nice to have it work there.
Feb. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Looked really fun to start with, I enjoyed the first few levels. Then at level 9 I found myself failing time after time not because I didn't know what to do, but because the controls and timing made me die all the time. And that's when I stopped playing... I shouldn't be fighting the interface, I should be fighting the puzzles!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Puzzles are a cinch, the only difficult part is getting the controls to respond quickly enough to activate the gravity arrows. Pretty mediocre.
Mar. 14, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Nice retro design. Fun game, simple to learn, hard to beat.
Feb. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) i don't like the controls change to my orientation, just leaves me confused and frustrated. Difficult ramps up quite quickly starting with room 1. 2/5
Feb. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I really love this concept and was enjoying this game immensely until I started dying. The controls are not nearly tight enough and the death transition is far too long and inconvenient to allow any enjoyment alongside risk in this game. It's a shame too, I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of awesome puzzles this game had to offer in later levels.
May. 26, 2012

Under rating threshold (hideshow) seems like lag but the game doesn't look very memory consuming
Aug. 2, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Saw a reference from Portal. Endless fall.
Feb. 13, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I would concur, a Sokoban clone which takes elements from other games. Fun until it get into the double digit levels.
May. 26, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Please move the hud elsewhere, or resize/edit the levels.. I got stuck on lvl 13? for ages because I could not see a switch to open the door... until I realised my score was hiding the switch.
Mar. 28, 2012
Feb. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) i'd prefer that the jump button be limited to one button(like A or S or Z, whatever), instead of the controls changing as the orientation changes. Also, you should make it more clear that you can interact with arrows on the first level, at first i tried to press space on the television and chair.

Anyone using these on their handguns?I just got a set for the 1911 I'm having done.I like the white outline on the rear.I've never used these before.Any info appreciated,good or bad.

I didn't know Mec-Gar even made sights. I do know that there magazines are near the best.
December 30, 2002, 12:59 AM
I have a set on my favorite Witness.
Maybe not the sleekest, but hanging in there fine fine fine.
Peen where the front pin goes through.
December 30, 2002, 08:24 AM
I have a target set on my cz75b. They are not the lowest profile sights in the world but they have worked well. They are actually LPA sights. http://www.precisionsights.com/ Mark
January 1, 2003, 04:21 PM
I have a set on a TZ-75 Series 88. The only problem I have had is the elevation screw. The sight tended to bounce during recoil and the elevation screw would move and change the setting. I used a small punch to upset the metal surrounding the screw head and provide a little bit of an interference fit between the screw head and sight body. This seems to have eliminated the problem.

I put a set on my Beretta 92FS, another on a S&W 6906, haven't had a problem with them at all. I have the two-dot type for the rear.
January 1, 2003, 11:08 PM
As pointed out, they are actually made by LPA. I have a one on a Glock 20. I have barrels for that pistol in .40, .357Sig and the original 10mm so I needed an adjustable sight. The sight seems to be well constructed and was very reasonably priced.
January 1, 2003, 11:37 PM
I installed a Mec-Gar adjustable rear and new front blade on my 1911. The sights were only marketed by MecGar, they did not make them - made by LPA as someone else said. Rear sight is fine, nice picture, holds its adjustment well. The problem I ran into had to do with staking the front sight - mine needed the narrow tenon front sight - sight pops off after 200 - 300 rounds. I call MecGar asking to purchase a replacement front blade - they tell me they don't make them so they do not have just the fronts, only the entire set. No problem I think - I'll just purchase another manufacturer's - problem was the rear sights set so darn high I had a heck of a time finding a replacement front. Nice sights but not impressed with customer service.
I really like their mags though.
January 2, 2003, 10:14 AM
I put a set on my CZ75B in .40 S & W. So far so good. They do sit higher than I expected and I had to also change the front sight. (included) They look a little odd sitting up so high, but work well.

CBS (Tuesday, May 14, 9 p.m. ET)
While the network news hounds go sniffing out every Vietnam anniversary story they can find, the entertainment divisions have ignored the event. It seems that Vietnam, like Space, just doesn't sell. Here's the only Viet anniversary movie we've seen on TV. The plot is lifted straight out of Man, Woman and Child. Wayne (M*A*S*H) Rogers plays a married man—to Bonnie (Heart Like a Wheel) Bedelia—when his mistress from Vietnam, Tina Chen, shows up with her son, who turns out to be Rogers' son, too. In Man, Woman, etc., the mother was dead; in this one, she's dying. In Man, etc., the boy was French; in this one, he's Vietnamese but speaks French. The question is whether the boy can join Rogers' family and live happily ever after. The performances by the principal actors, plus Pat (The Falcon and the Snowman) Hingle as Bedelia's redneck daddy, are as good as they can be. But the story in Lady From Yesterday is slow-moving and already familiar.

Traditional rivalries such as Michigan vs. Ohio State or USC vs. Notre Dame make college football the best sport in the country but it's nice to see the rise of newer rivalries that are born out of one amazing game or even one memorable play. Here are eight match-ups that have produced a couple great games or had a lot of hype but never quite made it to Rivalry-status during the last decade.
The Top Eight 'Almost' Rivalries of the Last Decade
By Michael O'Neil ,
After Brad Banks led the Hawkeyes to a 34-9 win in Ann Arbor in 2002 it seemed like this had all the making of being the next big rivalry in the Big Ten. Though Iowa won twice more since 2002, Ohio State's stranglehold on the Big Ten and the return of Penn State has kept this match-up from being a true rivalry.
Nebraska had ruled the 90's but when Michael Bishop led the Wildcats to a monumental victory over the Cornhuskers in 2000 it seemed the power had shifted in the Big XII North.
By season end Kansas State coughed up the Big XII title to Texas A&M, Michael Bishop didn't win the Heisman, and Kansas State never owned the conference for the remainder of the decade.
Though KSU won the Big XII title with its historic upset over Oklahoma in 2003, they didn't have to play the type of Nebraska team of the 90's to get there.
The Big XII South's dominance also hurt this match-up since the winner of this game never had a clear road to the Big XII title or the National Championship Game. Though Bo Pelini brings passion to the Nebraska program, I don't get the feeling Bill Snyder is going to be giving the Huskers any chalkboard material before these two teams meet. Oh, and Nebraska is leaving the Big XII after this year.
Too bad this game never lived up to the 2000 classic in Manhattan.
There is no denying that the 2008 match-up produced the game of the year but this match-up usually is ruled by the Longhorns year after year. Every year some experts fall in love with Texas Tech's offense and every year the Longhorns win, usually in blowout fashion. The Red Raiders have only beaten the Longhorns twice since 2002 and still never represented the Big XII South in the conference championship game.
After Louisville joined the Big East it appeared this would be the game of the year in the conference for years to come. The 2005 and 2006 match-ups decided who claimed a BCS-berth with the 2005 overtime classic going down in West Virginia lore as Pat White's breakout game but as Louisville has regressed and hired their third coach of the decade this game doesn't look like it will be deciding the Big East Champion anytime soon as newcomers Cincinnati and UConn have evened the playing field in the conference.
It feels like you have to call this game a rivalry because of the Ol' Ball Coach's ties to the Gators but the Gamecocks haven't lived up to expectations since Spurrier took over in Columbia. The Gamecocks only win in the decade came in 2005 and Florida's 56-6 beat-down in 2008 didn't help the game's supposed "rivalry" status. Unless Urban Meyer retires I don't see this game earning the rivalry label for a few years.
Fans of both teams might argue this is a true rivalry since both teams have continued their yearly battle after moving from the Big East to the ACC's Coastal Division. Even when ESPN's College GameDay makes an appearance for its game of the week (see: 2005), this game usually produces a clunker in terms of entertainment (Miami won that game 27-7). Only in 2004 did the match-up decide the ACC Champion. Sometimes this game has been played too early in the year to have major implications. Hopefully this year's game, played on November 20th, will decide the ACC Coastal Division.
It was dubbed Bowden Bowl. But after Bowden Bowl I, II and III it seemed like the country got sick of this story line fairly quickly. Bobby's wife, Ann Bowden, would wear a sweater, half covered in Tiger paws, half covered in Seminole spears but she didn't know the game lost attention outside the ACC when FSU fell from it's pedestal after the early part of the decade and Tommy Bowden underachieved year after year at Clemson. Just like other ACC match-ups, it lacked national championship implications. Clemson never made it to the ACC Championship game and Tommy Bowden was let go. Bobby was "pushed out" in Tallahassee. RIP: Bowden Bowl
After the Golden Bears landmark overtime victory in 2003 they looked like the team to challenge the Trojans for the remainder of the decade. Lee Corso even drank the Kool-Aid coming out of Berkeley year after year stating this was the year CAL would win the Pac-10 but USC thoroughly dominated their neighbors from the north year in and year out. Aaron Rodgers almost led CAL to another historic victory in Los Angeles in 2004 but a goal-line stand helped the men of Troy begin a decade of dominance over CAL. The Bears never lived up to the hype and USC kept winning Rose Bowls left and right.

This is the second slideshow in my series running down the top players at each position in each team's history, and this one will focus on first basemen.
Pictured are the two best of all time in my eyes: Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx.
In case you missed it, the first slideshow was on catchers, and here is the link to that article:
My only restriction for my rankings is that only the stats that a player had for the team he is representing will be considered.
For example, take the case of Johnny Mize. He is a Hall of Famer and one of the best first basemen of all time.
However, his career is pretty evenly split between the Cardinals and the Giants. So while he may have had a better career than the player I chose from the Giants, he did not have a better Giants career.
I will be the first to admit that I value offense at the first base position, and while guys like J.T. Snow and Doug Mientkiewicz were great on defense, you will not see them on this list.
On the catcher's slideshow, I wondered if anyone else would represent two teams, as Carlton Fisk was my choice for both the Red Sox and White Sox.
I must say I seriously considered naming Jimmie Foxx for the Red Sox and A's, but ended up choosing another Red Sox, so perhaps with second basemen we will see another multiple-team representative.
Well, enough with the introduction, and if you have read this far without moving on to the rankings, I commend you. Let's get on with the list.

Solid Waste & Recycling Measures:
Single Stream Recycling: Cedar Park was one of the first communities in central Texas to offer residents single-stream recycling. We began providing this service in February 2010. This has been incredibly successful; our average monthly recycling has jumped from 98 tons (when residents used the small blue bin) of diverted waste to 252 tons (now that residents have access to the larger 90 gallon bin)!
Waste Oil Reuse and Disposal: The City's Fleet Maintenance Shop disposes of its used oil, anti-freeze and oil filters in an environmentally friendly way. By recycling used oil, we prevent it from entering our sewer system, thereby impacting our water system.
We've Gone Paperless: During the last few years, the City has introduced new technologies that have encouraged employees to use electronic records whenever possible. The City Council reads and reviews their Agendas and related documents online, records are kept in an electronic format, and employees are encouraged to utilize shared networks to collaborate on projects and documents rather than printing drafts. Reducing paper usage not only helps our environment, but also saves money for office supplies.

10 Bible Contradictions That Aren't
No matter if you'Äôre Christian, Jewish, Islamic or atheist, we can all agree on one point: the Bible is full of insane tales. Hidden between the 'Äòthou shalt nots' and endless passages on who begat whom are stories of giant sex, rather well endowed Egyptians and holy murderous bears. And, just like Star Wars, the awesomeness within the pages of the Bible leads to plenty of continuity errors. Or does it? Turns out the Bible has more internal consistency than people like to give it credit for, even with famous stuff like:
The contradiction: After murdering his brother, Cain runs off and shacks up with another woman—despite his mother Eve being the only thing on Earth with human ovaries.
Why it's not: Remember that scene in Dark Knight Rises when Bane does his prison speech and we catch a glimpse of him in the future, even as he continues speaking? Rather than screaming "how can he be in two places at once?" and blaming it on witchcraft, we understood it was Nolan using non-chronological editing to heighten the emotion of the scene. And guess what? The same thing happens in the Bible.
In Genesis 4:16-17, we hear that Cain went and got a wife. In Genesis 5:4 we hear that Adam lived 800 years and had enough sons and daughters to populate the planet. Because storytelling was different 4,000 years ago, all that's happened is we've heard the whole of Cain's tale in one go, rather than split up across Genesis, soap opera style. It's the same storytelling trick that allows us to watch Phantom Menace after Return of the Jedi without becoming confused, only a whole lot less disappointing.
The contradiction: Faced with a city of homosexuals, God flies into a rage and blows the whole place up. Faced with his servant Lot having drunken sex with his daughters, God has no problems with it.
Why it's not: Because the sodomites tried to rape God's angels, people have used this story as evidence that God firebombed the place because he hates gay people. Only the Bible doesn't say that. Ezekiel 16:49 makes it pretty clear the people of Sodom were killed for being greedy and inhospitable to the poor, as does Amos 4:1-11 and Jeremiah 23:14. In the original passage, the angels are traveling around ancient Canaan disguised as hobos, taking hospitality where they find it. Now, kindness to strangers and poor people is obviously a big theme in the Bible. So when the holy hobos move on to wealthy Sodom and only local immigrant Lot offers them his hospitality, it says more about the place than any same-sex action ever could. This isn't just my opinion by the way; plenty of scholars have come to the same conclusion. The contradiction only arises if you come at it from an anti-gay standpoint.
The contradiction: Our whole species is directly descended from Adam and Eve. That means a whole lot of incest, the effects of which should be pretty obvious by now.
Why it's not: We tend to forget that the Bible was originally written in ancient Hebrew. Thanks to our wildly different language system, this throws up all sorts of quirks in translation. For example, 1 Samuel 20:41 can be translated as either a passage about King David crying, or about him getting an erection. In the early chapters of Genesis it gets even more confusing. In Hebrew, 'Adam' isn't just a name—it literally means 'man'. So the creation story can either be about one man called Adam and his wife Eve, or about the birth of man. Since Genesis 5:1-2 explicitly refers to Adam as 'them', it makes sense to think of Biblical Adam as an example of synecdoche—a literary technique where a part (one man) is substituted for a whole (the entire human race). So even God himself didn't intend Genesis to be read literally.
The contradiction: God totally tells the Israelites he's the only God. The Bible then proceeds to mention a ton of other Gods.
Why it's not: Aside from pioneering literary techniques, the Bible's also crammed with some pretty heretical psychology. For example, Galatians 4:8 and Isaiah 37:19 outright claim most gods were forged in the minds of men, and following their non-existent law made slaves of us all. Aside from sounding like something Richard Dawkins might say, it reduces guys like Molech and Baal and Dagon to nothing more than the ancient equivalent of those bargain bucket knockoffs of recent blockbusters. But what about the times God refers to himself as multiple people? That's just the Holy Trinity—the father, son and Holy Spirit that all make up the one big G.
The contradiction: The New Testament claims Judas both hanged himself and exploded after falling over.
Why it's not: If you've seen Con Air, you probably remember John Malkovich's death scene. Aside from going on for fifteen minutes, it includes his charactering getting stabbed, smashed into a wall, electrocuted, dropped several hundred feet and finally crushed by a laundry press. It's the very definition of 'overkill', but it's also what basically happens to Judas. Although Matthew kills him off in 27:5, Luke brings him back for a Con Air in Acts 1:18 by describing him falling and his stomach exploding. Since we usually don't explode from falling over and Judas was already dangling from a tree, it makes sense to see Luke's account as a record of what happens when a rotted corpse falls from a great height. Because he's tactful, Matthew focuses on the hanging bit. Because he's Jerusalem's answer to Eli Roth, Luke plumps for the exploding stomach.
The contradiction: God created everything, including maths. The Bible is God's word. It also doesn't know what Pi is.
Why it's not: 2 Chronicles 4:2 puts the value of Pi at 'three'. If you have even the vaguest inkling of mathematics, you probably know that's not only wrong, it's so wrong that accepting it as truth would involve resetting our entire understanding of the universe. So what gives? Well, the Bible hated specifics. When all the people in the city of Ai are killed, their number is put at 12,000. Not slightly more or slightly less, but bang on 12,000. When a bunch of people decide to leave Mount Gilead, they number exactly 22,000, while exactly 10,000 stay. Since this happens all the time, it's not that big a leap to assume the writer of Chronicles rounded Pi down. Granted, that's still wrong, but he lived at a time when advanced mathematics meant being able to count all your fingers and toes.
The contradiction: The Bible makes it pretty clear you only have one life before heading off to heaven or hell. So when Job says 'Äúnaked I came from my mother'Äôs womb, and naked I shall return there'Äù, he'Äôs either lying about reincarnation or about to do something we don't really want to think about.
Why it's not: Like most books, the Bible uses metaphors. Since Jesus himself spoke in parables, taking every passage literally would mean believing the son of God spent way too much time worrying about lost coins and giving wedding advice. Same deal with Job: throughout the story he uses phrases like "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle" and "My flesh is clothed with worms". In other words he talks in metaphor. The mother's womb image is nothing more than a poetic way of saying he'll die one day—it only becomes a contradiction if you somehow forget the whole of high school English.
The contradiction: According to Jesus, you can go to hell for saying 'fool'. Then Jesus himself uses the term a few pages later.
Why it's not: Taken in the context of Matthew 5:21-22, it's pretty clear Jesus is using 'fool' as shorthand for any aggressive insult. The one-way ticket to hell comes from being abusive rather than the word itself—kind of like how using the n-word with your black friends is cool, but shouting it at random people in the street is not wise. Also, the full passage only prohibits you from getting abusive with your 'brother', in other words with another follower of God. When Jesus calls the Pharisees fools a few pages later, it's while accusing them of swapping God for gold. In other words, as far as he's concerned, they're no longer his 'brothers'—he can call them whatever he likes.
The contradiction: Moses is said to have written the first five books of the Bible. The last of these five, Deuteronomy, ends with Moses' death.
Why it's not: Remember the Silmarillion? It's an unfinished Tolkien book that was completed by his son and published in 1977. Same deal with Deuteronomy. Early versions of the Bible were written on scrolls, with breaks between books often either unclear or non-existent. While we've got the order sorted now, at the time there wasn't a definitive break between the end of Deuteronomy and the start of Joshua. So the account of Moses dying could just as equally belong at the start of the next book—we've just stuck it in Book 5 for completeness sake. In other words, it's less a contradiction than it is good storytelling.
The contradiction: Despite seeing exactly the same stuff happen, Matthew, Mark and John disagree about nearly all of it.
Why it's not: Pick literally any significant event and you'll find no eyewitnesses can agree on what happened. Take 9/11—here's some testimony proving the government blew up the Pentagon. Now here's some different eyewitness testimony proving it was a terrorist attack. You can apply this to almost anything: go to the beach with your friends on Sunday and by Friday you'll all have slightly different takes on what happened. Wait another 20 years and your stories will be completely different, bar the central fact that you were physically at the beach. It's called memory and it's faulty—plenty of studies have concluded that eyewitness testimony is almost useless for that very reason. Given the gospels are attributed to different authors and supposedly written some 20–50 years after Jesus' death, it's kind of impressive they agree on anything at all.

Mercyhurst University announces 2013-14 arts season
Jazz, marionettes, ballet, Shakespeare and a unique tribute to Bob Dylan highlight the 2013-14 Mercyhurst Institute for Art & Culture season that will focus on family friendly fare.
Highlights include the return of popular Japanese drummers Yamato (Nov. 16-17); the Irish Rovers (March 8) on their farewell tour; the Moscow Festival Ballet performing "Swan Lake" (April 15); and Tim Warfield's Jazzy Christmas (Dec. 13), which will feature seating on the D'Angelo stage for an intimate experience.
"One of the things we're trying to bring in is some programming that really can be enjoyed by the entire family that's accessible. It's unique, it's entertaining and it's world class," said Jamie Grady, MIAC's director.
He cites the Cashore Marionettes, the season's first show on Sept. 14, as an example of a show with across-the-board appeal.
"I think the adults will appreciate the artistry and how the puppeteer will move the puppets, and the kids will enjoy the experience and the stories that are being told through that," Grady said.
The series also includes Aquila Theatre Company of New York performing "Twelfth Night" (Sept. 29); the art-folk husband-and-wife duo the Bengsons (Sept. 27); Howard Fishman presenting his Basement Tapes Project, which focuses on Dylan's music with the Band recorded in 1967 (Oct. 3); high-energy Brazilian dance group Compagnie Kafig (Jan. 29); instrumental jazz group Snarky Puppy (March 20); and chamber group Ahn Trio (April 3).
Mercyhurst also announced that all three of its film series will return -- the Langer Film Series, classic movies and On Screen/In Person.
Grady said the 2012-13 MIAC season did well and included sellout crowds for dancer Savion Glover and jazz artist Pat Metheny.
Tickets for 2013-14 events will go on sale sometime during the summer. For more information, visit http://pac.mercyhurst.edu.

Will my child gain weight from eating so much fat?
On this diet, the amount of food is carefully weighed so that your child will eat all the calories she needs for good health, but not so many that she gains weight. The fat content of the food doesn't affect weight if you strictly limit total calories.
How long should I sit with my toddler before I give up trying to get him to finish all his food?
Some parents report that mealtimes on the diet can wrap up in twenty minutes, while others say they have to sit with their children for two hours before all the food is finished.
A child must finish all the food because the meal is put together in amounts that will give him the right balance between fat, protein, and carbohydrates. If it's not all eaten, the balance is lost, and the child may have a seizure.
Since this is important, parents often try tricks like playing a video during meals or playing games to distract the child while they're encouraging the child to eat.
Parents who've been successful advise others to use the diet creatively, and try to offer something new and special for each meal to keep the child's interest. Older children, who know that the diet is helping to keep their seizures away, may be more cooperative.
Will taking prescription or other medicines affect the diet?
All medicines and pharmaceuticals, from toothpaste to cough syrup to vitamins to prescription medicine, must, whenever possible, be free of sugar and other carbohydrates. Remind your doctor to prescribe all needed medications in sugar-free and carbohydrate-free forms. Read labels carefully and check with your pharmacist.
Does the diet cause a problem with high cholesterol?
When children are switched from a normal diet to a 90 percent fat diet, both cholesterol and triglyceride levels can go up. However, the ketogenic diet is not a lifetime diet. Children stay on it about two years. When weaned off the diet, most children return to their pre-diet levels.
What can my child eat at school?
Your dietitian will help you plan meals that can go to school with your child. Tuna, egg, or chicken salads are easy to carry in small plastic containers. Warm or chilled food can be carried in a small cooler or insulated bag, or wrapped in foil.
There are many celebrations at school that involve food. It's very important for all the teachers and aides to know that your child cannot have the same treats that the other children get. You may want to ask school personnel to let you know in advance when treats are planned so that you can send a keto-correct treat for your child.
It's a good idea to have a meeting with your child's teachers and everyone your child comes in contact with at the beginning of every school year. Make them understand that even half a cookie or a bite of cupcake can lead to seizures, hospital, and the loss of seizure control.
Post a notice at school: This child must not be fed anything not brought from home.
How does my child explain the diet to his friends?
Young children say, "I'm a special kid on a special diet." Older children can impress their friends by telling them about all the shakes, cheesecakes, pancakes and omelets they get to eat on their special diet.
What about special holidays like birthdays and Thanksgiving?
The dietitian will be able to give you special recipes to keep the mood festive while allowing children to stick to the diet. If your doctor or dietitian is treating other children on the ketogenic diet, those parents may have good ideas to share with you. However, always check with your child's dietitian before trying something new.
One family offers the following suggestion for Halloween, which is all about candy and sugary treats. They let their keto kid go trick or treating like the other neighborhood children, but when the child gets home, the parents buy back the candy and the child then uses the money to buy a special toy.

The thing is that this type of intrusion seems to happen periodically. Eventually (fingers-crossed) the live-in trolls get bored and move on and then the forum moves back to some semblance of normal.
I don't care one way or another about the bickering, but it does bother me a bit that people come to this forum for advice on the primal blueprint and are given advice that is not at ALL in line with the plan. And they take that advice because they think it is coming from a PB follower. It's a real shame in my opinion.

"If man made it, don't eat it" - Jack Lallane
People say I am on a "crazy" diet. What is so crazy about eating veggies, fruits, seafood and organ meats? Just because I don't eat whole wheat and processed food doesn't make my diet "crazy". Maybe everyone else with a SAD are the "crazy" ones for putting that junk in their system.
One question for you people:
why don't you just ignore those threads? obviously a Ray Peat thread is going to have those things, but it takes two to tango. there are still 99% of the threads left with people who don't know any better and will listen to guys like TheyCallMeLazarus because he eats primal and is a "doctor".
Think for yourselves, honestly, do you believe people are incapable of this? You have a pretty low opinion of your demographic, then.
P.S. threads like this don't help, and aren't even about nutrition. All you're doing is complaining instead of making your precious forums "better" by contributing your own information since you're so afraid of differing diets and opinions. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds. Yet, I'm the immature one

Threads like these certainly don't help you. It doesn't help you when people are aware you have an agenda that is unrelated to Primal. Until the "Ray Peat" threads started coming fast and furious, I had no idea that your agenda was anything but anarchy, trying to hurt newbies by confusing them until they went back to SAD.

Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
No one is doing that, at least I'm not. I don't even really post outside journals and those Ray Peat threads, and when I do, it's never even about Ray Peat. I posted in the kale thread recently, and it was kept within "primal laws", same as some cheese thread. I'm not sure if others are doing that, because I don't even look in these threads anymore.
I posted here because I was linked, by someone who doesn't even like Ray Peat, but thinks that you guys that constantly complain about every different opinion are the ones actually making this forum worse. Respectfully.
This isn't the only place I post, but there are people I like here, and the fact the moderation is lax helps make it seem more chill. At least it was, until all this ridiculous drama over diets started again. Your opinions aren't the only ones that matter, you know.

Portland is a hotbed for locally based running stores, and this spring has seen a burst of activity among three of the biggest companies. Following closely on the heels of the grand opening of Foot Traffic's new Sellwood store and the announcement of a new Fit Right NW location at the Streets of Tanasbourne, comes the news that Portland Running Company will be closing its West Linn store and moving its Beaverton store a few blocks east to a larger and more accessible building with increased parking and visibility."After four wonderful but challenging years in West Linn, we have decided to consolidate our retail operations. Beginning May 1, our West Linn location will be closing permanently," explained PRC co-owner Paula Harkin. "This month, we are relocating our Beaverton store to a larger space where we will continue to serve our customers with unsurpassed service, a knowledgeable, friendly staff, and the best running and walking shoes in the business."
Conveniently located at the corner of SW Scholls Ferry Rd. and SW Nimbus Ave., the new store will have a "soft" opening on May 10th, with a special Grand Opening on June 1st, and will be an improved setting for group runs, clinics, packet pickup events, and other activities.
"We felt like our message was getting diluted. In a race to be the biggest, we thought we better refocus on being the best," said co-owner Dave Harkin. While the Harkins will miss the West Linn store, they are excited about the new Beaverton location and the overall direction PRC is headed.
"We will miss the community and the spirit that makes West Linn such a wonderful place to be. Our track nights, our group runs, and our field trips will be hard to replace. We do look forward to seeing all of our track night friends and customers in Beaverton or at our Grand Avenue location in Portland."

What is in this article?:
- Odds are corn market volatility will continue
- Lot of information to update
• On June 30 the USDA will release the Acreage Report, which will be based on a survey taken the first week of June, on planted and expected to be planted and harvested acres.
• While this will be good information, given this year's late planting and flooding, there is more room for error.

Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of information to update a yield estimate from trend without a survey; my guess is that it will be a bit lower even with decent summer weather.
And you all know the variables that could change that yield estimate as well as I, plus the greater odds of problems this fall. On the other hand, Iowa was about as late in 2008 and a "prefect summer" pulled out a better than expected corn crop. We will not have a corn yield survey until the first of August, to be released Aug. 11.
The USDA lowered the projected 2011 feed use by 100 million bushels based on higher feed prices, projected carcass weights, and projected animal units.
On June 30 the USDA will release the third quarter corn stocks report; this will give us a good update on corn used in the first three quarter, especially 2010-11 feed use.
The 2010-11 and 2011-12 corn used for ethanol production projections were left unchanged. Projected ending stocks for both marketing years are at the very tight levels.
The sharp drop off in corn prices the June 14-16 was the third selloff of that magnitude since the beginning of March. Each time we went on to a new high, will we this time, I don't know, but the odds are high that we could, or we could go lower.
But the even higher odds are that the market will continue to be very volatile. As I have said in almost every issue, we are out of the range of our data, we aren't sure what the price should be even if we knew the size of the 2011 corn crop, and we don't.
If you are a buyer, consider filling at least short needs and some middle-term needs on these huge drops.
For sellers, consider pricing some as we approach the highs, depending on how much you have already priced. Old crop cash prices in mid-Michigan dropped a dollar and they were still $7.25!
Positive basis of up to 30 cents are common.

Dallas County announces fourth West Nile case Monday, involving Oak Cliff man
Dallas County Health and Human Services announced Monday the fourth West Nile human infection of the season.
The victim was a man over 60 who lives in ZIP code 75224 in central Oak Cliff, an area that straddles I-35. He suffered severe neuroinvasive symptoms, said Zachary Thompson, director of the health department.
County officials continued to urge residents to use insect repellent when outdoors and to wear long pants and sleeves when going outside at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are active.
West Nile is a virus carried in birds that can spread to people by mosquitoes that feed on birds and humans.
Dr. Christopher Perkins, the county's medical director, advised residents to protect themselves from being bitten.
"The first line of defense to prevent West Nile virus infection is to avoid getting bitten in the first place," he said.
Such measures also include removing outdoor standing water, where mosquitoes can breed. Windows and doors also should be mosquito-proofed to keep the insects out of the house.
Since April, Dallas County has found 89 mosquito pools that were positive for West Nile. Northeast Dallas County appears to have more infected pools than in other areas.
The three previous human cases were in Grand Prairie, Richardson and University Park.
West Nile causes no symptoms in about 80 percent of the people who become infected. About 20 percent will develop a mild headache, fever and chills. About 1 in 150 of those infected will suffer more severe neuroinvasive symptoms, including meningitis, encephalitis and a polio-like paralysis.
This year's West Nile season is a far cry from what happened last year, when Dallas County was the nation's hot spot for the virus. More than 400 residents developed mild to severe West Nile symptoms and 20 died from virus-related illnesses.
The massive outbreak caused Dallas County to launch an aerial attack against the disease-carrying mosquitoes exactly a year ago. It was the first time in nearly 60 years that the county restorted to aerial spraying of insecticides in hopes of ending a disease outbreak.
County officials declared the effort successful when the number of human infections declined in the following weeks. Early this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that those areas that had been sprayed from the air saw a greater decline in West Nile cases compared to areas that did not receive it.
Compared to 2012, mosquito abatement has been more aggreesive this year, particularly in Dallas and other surrounding counties that were hard hit by West Nile last year.
City and county mosquito-control efforts are not waiting until mosquitoes test positive for the virus to begin spraying. Truck-mounted sprayers are being sent out whenever mosquito-pool surveillance detects large numbers of Culex mosquitoes capable of carrying West Nile.

We present an initial sample of optical and IR counterparts of FIRST radio sources identified using the images of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The complete NDWFS sample of counterparts to FIRST sources will number approximately 2000 objects. Using the K-z relation to indicate the distance of the radio sources, our analysis of the properties of the current sub-sample reveals evidence of significant evolution of the radio luminosity function from z~0 to z~2.
J. B. Henderson's research was supported by the NOAO/KPNO Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. NOAO and KPNO are operated by AURA, Inc., for the National Science Foundation.

North Korea is a small country located in the East of the Asian continent. North Korea has been under scrutiny for its recent attack on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong over the highly debated maritime border region. Many theories are being held responsible for this sudden charge of the North Korea over its southern counterpart. The main reason being thought of is to boost up the military credentials of Kim Jong Un, who is to succeed leader Kim Jong Il. The other is that the raid was carried out by the North Korean People's Army (KPA), on its own initiative.
North Korea is more of a traditional Korean dynasty and not just a communist state. However, it is highly anticipated that after the death of Kim Jong II, North Korea will experience a cumulative rule. Around December 2010, the US had established that the North Korean state had assembled new uranium-enrichment facilities, hence confirming speculations that it might be putting together an underground silo for running nuclear tests. The attacks on Yeonpyeong were publicly condemned by the US, Japan and South Korea concurrently. Now, both the US and South Korean airforces are willing to strike if such a scenario is repeated by North Korea.
Recently in New York, North Korea and the US held discussions on issues including Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal. There's no doubting now that North Korea possesses the largest ballistic missile force in the developing world and appears intent on advancing its missile and satellite launch capabilities.
The fickleness of Kim Jong II's regime makes any planning from the South Korean side almost useless. However, the biggest security threat that North Korea faces is that the control of Kim would eventually weaken, which would lead to its weakening.
If circumstances stated above do prevail, then the nation could run into a scenario of extreme chaos and conflict repeating the history of 1994 when founder Kim II Sung had passed away. Due to North Korea's aloofness from the global scenario, the country has encountered many problems, from a degrading economy to losing of great many lives in famines. What seems to be the greatest concern for this state is the fallout with its own people over the government's redenomination of the won currency which led to many losing their savings and having many dominant powers getting frustrated over its impulsiveness. If North Korea still fails in taming the beast within itself and carries on wayward, it would get it nowhere and would only end up making situations worse in the coming days.
In this industry scenario, Taiyou Research analyzes the Defense and Security industries in North Korea. The report covers the following:
- In order to understand the development of the North Korean defense and security industry, it is important to take a look at the geopolitical situation in the world, particularly in North East Asia. Our research report analyzes the emergence of a new geopolitical situation in the world through a look at the new roles to be played by the United States, China, Japan, the Koreas, India, Russia, Europe, Brazil, Turkey, Iran, the Middle East, and Africa, in the coming years.
- The emergence of new great powers around the world in the face of growing global terrorism is analyzed in the report.
- An analysis of the security market in North East Asia is important in establishing the importance of North Korea in this industry across this entire region. The geopolitical significance of North East Asia is important as there are many flashpoints in the region that could have an impact on North Korea.
- Situation on the Russia-China border, China's Western Border, China-North Korea border, China-India border, and China's growing military presence in the region is looked at.
- Japan's influence in the region cannot be overlooked as well as the importance of maintaining geopolitical status quo in the North East Asian region. All this and more is analyzed in the report Defense and Security in North Korea.
- In order to examine the defense and security industries in North Korea, it is necessary to analyze the political landscape in North Korea, including the major political changes on the horizon.
- Moving on to the analysis of the security industry in North Korea, we analyze the domestic security situation as well as the external security situation. Furthermore, we analyze the impact of the North Korea-South Korea and the North Korea and US relations, and the implications these pose for the North Korean security industry.
- We carry out a SWOT analysis of the North Korean Security Market.
- An analysis of North Korea's Armed Forces is necessary in order to establish the growing threat of North Korea's in the Asian region in terms of military presence. North Korea's weapons of mass destruction are also analyzed in this section.
- Moving on to an analysis of North Korea's defense industry, we analyze the market profile, industry trends, competition in the industry, North Korea's arms trade, and procurement of arms in the industry.
- We carry out a SWOT analysis of the North Korean Defense Industry.
- Outlook for the North Korean Defense and Security Industry is carried out through a forecast for the Armed Forces and a forecast for defense expenditure.
Taiyou Research's report on Defense and Security in North Korea is a complete profile of this growingly competitive industry in North Korea that is incorporating many changes in the recent years in order to make a global mark. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

On my system, this comes out to "Helvetica (Adobe)" for the variable width font and "Courier (Adobe)" for the fixed width. 14 pnt. seems to look OK ... I'm at 1024x768 screen size. 3) Click the little button that says, "Always use my default fonts, overriding document specified fonts." 4) Done You may get a greater selection of fonts by downloading and installing WordPerfect for Linux from Corel and the StarOffice suite from SUN.

The owners of Solberg Airport have long thought the view of the sun setting behind Round Valley Reservoir and across one of the largest expanses of open Space in Hunterdon County, with occasional take-offs and landings of aircraft was one of the most serene scenes in the area. In 1996 a new tradition at Solberg Airport of celebrating Summer Solstice began with an ancient Norwegian custom that celebrates the longest day of the year by trying to make it even longer.
Tradition holds that people in towns across Norway light huge bonfires to welcome the official start of summer. Solberg Airport's Norwegian-American owners have planned a new celebration of the summer solstice with more of an aeronautical and environmentally acceptable activity — the launching of hot air balloons on Saturday, June 16, just before sunset. A rain date is set for Sunday, June 17.
Scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m., "Celebrate Summer Solstice" will be an evening of food, live entertainment, airplane rides, aircraft fly-by's and static display, Northstar Medivac helicopter, Smoky Bear and the U.S. Forest Fire Service, a Walk about Hot Air Balloon, face painting and a handful of hot air balloons and a sunset palette of reds, pinks and oranges.
Live entertainment will be provided by two local bands: Keith Beck's "Zigman Bird Band" fusing everything from the Beatles to T-Rex to Iggy and Bowie, he found his own niche in not sounding like them. Also, performing will be "Jenny And The Felines" a trio presenting powerful, original pop-music that's peppered with tasty guitar solos and a quirkiness that's all their own.
The Kiwanis Club of Hunterdon Clinton will do a cook-out with hot dogs and hamburgers as a fundraiser for the Kiwanis.
The highlight of the evening will be a hot air balloon launch by numerous local balloonists. The ascension will take place shortly after 6 p.m., wind a weather permitting.
"We're fortunate in that we get to see views like this every night," say the Solberg family members. "By scheduling this community get-together, others might take a few moments at the end of their hectic week to enjoy an afternoon's activities at Solberg Airport.
Admission is free, all people have to do is bring along a lawn chair or blanket, sit back, relax and enjoy the view. All events are weather permitting and subject to change. For further information, call the airport at 908-534-4000 or visit solbergairport.com.
