Dr. Fox provides orthodontic treatment for adolescents and children depending on the severity of the malocclusion. In some cases our office will refer you to an orthodontist who will work with us in caring for your child.
Developing malocclusions, or bad bites, can be recognized as early as 2-3 years of age. Often, early steps can be taken to reduce the need for major orthodontic treatment at a later age.
By age 7, enough permanent teeth have come in and enough jaw growth has occurred that the dentist or orthodontist can identify current problems, anticipate future problems and alleviate parents concerns if all seems normal. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by age 7, and crossbites, crowding and developing injury-prone dental protrusions can be evaluated. Any ongoing finger sucking or other oral habits can be assessed at this time also.
The timing of your treatment is VERY important; a consultation will allow us to better understand your needs. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
Some signs or habits that may indicate the need for early orthodontic examination are:
For those patients who have clear indications for early orthodontic intervention, early treatment presents an opportunity to:
Baby molar teeth, also known as primary molar teeth, hold needed space for permanent teeth that will come in later. When a baby molar tooth is lost, an orthodontic device with a fixed wire is usually put between teeth to hold the space for the permanent tooth, which will come in later.
Removing baby teeth may be necessary to allow severely crowded permanent teeth to come in at a normal time in a reasonably normal location. If the teeth are severely crowded, it may be clear that some unerupted permanent teeth ( usually the canine teeth) will either remain impacted ( teeth that should have come in, but have not), or come in to a highly undesirable location. To allow severely crowded teeth to move on their own into much more desirable positions, sequential removal of baby teeth and permanent teeth ( usually first premolars) can dramatically improve a severe crowding problem. This sequential extraction of teeth, called serial extraction, is typically followed by comprehensive orthodontic treatment after tooth eruption has improved as much as it can on its own.
After all the permanent teeth have come in, removing of permanent teeth may be necessary to correct crowding or to make space for necessary tooth movement to correct a bite problem. Proper extraction of teeth during orthodontic treatment should leave the patient with both excellent function and a pleasing look.
Orthodontic treatment and a childs growth can complement each other. A common orthodontic problem to treat is protrusion of the upper front teeth ahead of the lower front teeth. Quite often this problem is due to the lower jaw being shorter than the upper jaw. While the upper and lower jaws are still growing, orthodontic appliances can be used to help the growth of the lower jaw catch up to the growth of the upper jaw. Abnormal swallowing may be eliminated. A severe jaw length discrepancy, which can be treated quite well in a growing child, might very well need corrective surgery if left untreated until a period of slow or no jaw growth. Children who may have problems with the width or length of their jaws should be evaluated for treatment no later than age 10 for girls and age 12 for boys.
Yes. Wearing a protective mouthguard is advised while playing any sports. Your Pediatric Dentist/Orthodontist can recommend a specific mouthguard.
Playing wind or brass instruments, such as the trumpet, will clearly require some adaptation to braces. With practice and a period of adjustment, braces typically do not interfere with the playing of musical instruments.
Estimates of treatment time can only be that- estimates. Patients grow at different rates and will respond in their own ways to orthodontic treatment. Dr. Fox has specific treatment goals in mind, and will usually continue treatment until these goals are achieved. Patient cooperation, however, is the single best predictor of staying on time with treatment. Patients who cooperate by wearing rubber bands, headgear or other needed appliances as directed, while taking care not to damage appliances, will most often lead to on-time and excellent treatment results.
After braces are removed, the teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
Studies have shown that as people age, their teeth may shift. This variable pattern of gradual shifting, called maturational change, probably slows down after the early 20s, but still continues to a degree throughout life for most people. Even children whose teeth developed into ideal alignment and bite without treatment may develop orthodontic problems as adults. The most common maturational change is crowding of the lower incisor (front) teeth. Wearing retainers as instructed after orthodontic treatment will stabilize the correction. Beyond the period of full-time retainer wear, nighttime retainer wear can prevent maturational shifting of the teeth.
In about three of four cases where teeth have not been removed during orthodontic treatment, there are good reasons to have the wisdom teeth removed, usually when a person reaches his or her mid-to-late teen years. Careful studies have shown, however that wisdom teeth do not cause or contribute to the progressive crowding of lower incisor teeth that can develop in late teen years and beyond. Dr. Fox can determine what is right for you.

Death House ChallengeSo nobody liked the last challenge I posted, but that's not going to stop me from setting myself up for failure again! Maybe in the spirit of Halloween this challenge will be welcomed.
(Apologies if the category isn't right, but none of what I can see really describe this challenge.)
I've had this idea rattling around in my skullflesh for a while now. The challenge is as such: Your job is to create a house as full of dangerous/broken objects/features as possible, and kill sims with them. You're allowed to use debug to break objects, but not allowed to control any sims or make them USE the objects. The idea is that you, the player, are essentially the house that wants everyone inside of it to be dead. You are NOT allowed to control or influence the sims in any way, unless and until you have killed 10 sims: And then you can only "posses" one sim of your choosing until they are also dead. You MAY use mods such as guns, knives, etc, with this sim, in order to better complete your goal. You may NOT save this sim from any traps it may fall into while being possessed.
*It's highly recommended that you overstuff your sim household to 11 residents before officially beginning the challenge.*
It's highly recommended to use this sim to invite more sims into the household, if you haven't killed off the entire living sim population in your house. You are allowed to wait for any remaining adult sims to reproduce to add more sims, but may not personally direct them to.
You MAY use money cheats and build/buy as you go. Anything that doesn't involve any direct interaction with a non-posessed sim in question, is allowed.
The challenge ends when all of the sims are dead, and no more can be invited to join the household. Your score is as follows:
Adult sims: 1 point each
Elder sims: 1 point each
Teen sims: 2 points each
Child sims: 4 points each
Toddler/Baby sims: 10 points each
"Unlucky" sims: 15 points each (This only counts if they STAY dead. That's why it's worth so much!)
Meteor death: 1 point, regardless of sim age or trait (Meteors are arguably a too-easy way to kill sims without making any real effort regarding their environment. Killing babies/children/teens/unlucky sims this way will default their point value.)
Point value is determined roughly by how difficult it is to actually kill these sims, with or without direct control over them. I haven't included pets in this tally because as far as I know, they can't be killed other than of old age, so they aren't worth anything to this challenge.
You do, however, lose points for every sim that "escapes", namely by being taken away by CPS. -20 points per escape. More risk, more reward! You can choose to only move teens and adults/elders in, or you can add households with children for a bigger score...if you think you can kill them off in perfect succession!
You are allowed to do whatever it takes to kill your living sims, short of actually clicking on them and making them die. Wall off refrigerators, make rooms of highly flammable objects, build walls around pools and seal them when you have a victim in place, break electronics in puddles of water, use the weather to your advantage...the choices are endless! Any questions/suggestions are of course, welcome.
I personally like to see how many different ghost types I can get in a single house.
Happy simming. Bwahahahahahahahaaaa

I have Supernatural, so I may just try putting jelly bean bushes in pots throughout the house, and making them the only source of food for the victims.
I have an idea for a challenge like this, only it's a Death Labyrinth instead of a Death House, and the challenge ends when one sim is left. I'm also planning to arm the sims with Dexter the Bear and/or the weapons mod, in the hopes that they'll get desperate enough to kill each other.

This site presents a searchable database of 144,000 newspaper articles related to World War II. The articles are drawn primarily from several English-language Canadian newspapers, including The Hamilton Spectator (Ontario), The Globe and Mail (Toronto), The Toronto Telegram, and The Toronto Daily Star, as well as from newspapers outside the Canadian borders, such as The New York Times. In order to facilitate browsing this extensive archive, the site is partitioned into several sections: "Canada and the War," "Operations," and "The Holocaust." Each section contains articles grouped under diverse topics that allow users to explore Canada's view of and participation in the war, as well as a more general perspective on the major campaigns and issues surrounding the war. "Operations," for example, presents articles on the Burma campaigns, the North African campaign, and the invasion of China. Each topic is preceded by several paragraphs of historical contextualization. "The Holocaust" section is smaller and includes five articles on Germany's treatment of the Jews. The site provides a comprehensive introduction to World War II through contemporary documents and will be useful to those interested in the political, economic, and social causes and consequences of the war.

Joan Maud Littlewood (6 October 1914 – 20 September 2002) was a British theatre director, noted for her work in developing the left-wing Theatre Workshop. She has been called "The Mother of Modern Theatre". [1]
She also conceived and developed along with architect Cedric Price the Fun Palace, a experimental model of participatory social environment that, although never realized, has become an important influence in Architecture of the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Littlewood was born at Stockwell, London, England and trained as an actress at RADA but left after an unhappy start and moved to Manchester in 1934 where she met folksinger Jimmie Miller who would later become known as Ewan MacColl. After joining his troupe, Theatre of Action, Littlewood and Miller were soon married. After a brief move to London, they returned to Manchester and set up the Theatre Union in 1936.
Littlewood was banned in 1941 by BBC broadcasting. The ban was lifted two years later when MI5 said she had broken off her association with the Communist Party. She was under surveillance by MI5 from 1939 until the 1950s.[2]
In 1945, after the end of World War II, Littlewood, her husband, and other Theatre Union members formed Theatre Workshop, touring for the next 8 years. Shortly afterwards, when Gerry Raffles joined the troupe, MacColl and Littlewood divorced, though they still worked together for many years and Littlewood was godmother to MacColl's two children. Littlewood and Raffles were life partners until his death in 1975.
In 1953, Theatre Workshop took up residence at the Theatre Royal in Stratford, east London, where it gained international fame, performing international plays across Europe and in the Soviet Union. One of Littlewood's most famous productions was the British première of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children (1955), which she directed and also starred in the lead role. Her production of Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be, a musical about the London underworld, became a hit and ran from 1959 to 1962, transferring to the West End.
The works for which she is now best remembered are probably Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey (1958), which gained great critical acclaim, and the satirical musical Oh, What a Lovely War! (1963), which she also wrote. Both were subsequently made into films. Theatre Workshop also championed the work of Irish playwright Brendan Behan, and Littlewood is often rumoured to have a significant role in his work.
After Raffles's death in 1975, Littlewood left Theatre Workshop and stopped directing. After a time of drifting she settled in France and became the companion of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the vintner and poet, and wrote his memoirs, Milady Vine. In the mid-1980s, she commenced work on her 1994 autobiography, Joan's Book.[3]
Film of Joan Littlewood rehearsing young actors is available on the DVD of Bronco Bullfrog.
Littlewood died, in 2002, of natural causes at the age of 87 in the London flat of Peter Rankin, her UK base for the previous 23 years.

Graduation meant little to Newton - he continued his idiosyncratic studies without concern for recognition or advancement. He pressed on, inventing new techniques to push his mathematical understanding further. He developed infinite series that approximated known functions, and used them to calculate those functions to unprecedented accuracy. He invented infinitesimals, that he called "fluxions," and laid the basis for the differential and integral calculus. He even developed a version of what is now known as "the fundamental theorem of calculus": that differentiation and integration are inverse processes; one undoes what the other does. He had far surpassed anything accomplished by any other mathematician in the world. He was completely unknown, 24 years old, and one year past his college commencement.
As suddenly as he had picked up mathematics, he laid it down and turned to other things. He began his studies of optics and of motion. He bought a prism and began studying the properties of colored light. But the plague struck, and Newton fled to the country to his mother's house in Lincolnshire. He had to wait several years before he could obtain a second prism and perform the experiments that would solidify his theory of light.
He turned to the study of motion, and began an investigation of the properties of circular motion. From this investigation he concluded that the acceleration of the Moon about the Earth was related to the acceleration of an object falling near the Earth by the ratio of their distances squared, "pretty nearly." It was about this time (1666) that the famous apple incident occurred, if it occurred at all.
The years 1665-1666 are called Newton's anni mirabiles, his miraculous years, in which he developed his theory of light, of motion, and of the calculus. In fact, he had only begun the work that would, much later, become fully developed theories. But his accomplishments were nonetheless miraculous. As Richard Westfall puts it,
In 1660, a provincial boy ate his heart out for the world of learning .... Six years later, with no help beyond the books he had found for himself, he had made himself the foremost mathematician in Europe and the equal of the foremost natural philosopher.For similar experiments on the nature of light, Christiaan Huygens was being sought after by the kings of Europe. As yet, no one knew the name of Isaac Newton, nor what he had accomplished.

The shutdown of the federal government could harm medical research in this region, forcing some research teams to delay their work, even discontinuing treatment for patients in ongoing medical trials.
Among some of the programs sending their staffs home because of this shutdown is the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Nancy Zbaren runs the information service and says, "I'm shocked. This program serves cancer patients and their families."
They do clinical trial searches for patients who sometimes are looking for newer research studies to be enrolled in or to look at other alternatives from other standard care. They respond to between 10,000 and 11,000 phone calls, emails or live help sessions monthly.
"So for the patients who call us, families who call us, they won't reach us," says Zbaren.
And you figure – well people could just find the answer by going to their own doctors. But that's not often the case.
"We are contacted by lots of people who do not have insurance and we try to give them places that they can call, resources that they can follow up with to figure out how they get their care," she says.
Ironically, it sounds like those are the kind of people who would be helped by Obamacare – whose delay is the purpose of the shutdown.
And then of course, there's the impact on her staff, who are sitting at home.
"We are taxpayer funded. To not be able to serve the taxpayers that are funding us – it's just so hard. It's just so hard for me to see that this has really happened," Zbaren says. "I'm looking at my contact center and I have all of these empty work stations and I should have staff there talking to cancer patients. But they're home."
But the really devastating impact is on the most desperate cancer patients – the ones waiting to be matched with clinical trials.
"We have clinical trial searches that we did not get done and when we were shut down, those searches are sitting here because we're unauthorized to complete them," Zbaren says. "It's just so frustrating. I just find it so difficult to believe that we can't answer calls from cancer patients. It's just unconscionable."
Which leads us to ask – why would this be considered a nonessential service? Nancy says during the last shutdown, 17 years ago, her call center was allowed to remain open.

war horse
Also, old war horse. A dependable, frequently performed attraction, as in The opera company is doing nothing but old war horses this season, like, Aida and La Bohème. This term originated in the mid-1600s for a military charger that had been through many battles. In the 1800s it began to be used for human veterans, and in the mid-1900s for popular productions, especially of musical works.

Clearing out a drawer in the kitchen last night I came across this piece of taxpayer-funded nonsense which we were given when our daughter was born in October.
When the government kept telling us how important it was to protect health budgets, I didn't realise it meant producing NHS-branded bibs which would struggle to act as a duster.
Why anyone would want to feed their baby in state-sponsored propaganda is beyond me, and without a plastic backing is almost completely useless at stopping clothes underneath getting wet. (Trust me).
And what do you find when you go to babylifecheck.co.uk?
A brightly-coloured survey asking probing questions about how your child is developing, like:
Of course not everyone takes to parenting easily, and needs extra help.
But a few more visits from a midwife or health visitor would be better than handing out branded freebies that no-one will use to promote a website which borders on patronising.
Incidentally, in 2009-10 NHS BabyLife check cost around £1.3 million.

|Bit of blending make lovely by the Clarity Stencils and Stamps
|I love the Clarity Numbers stamped this way don't you? I just think they look really, well, attractive? I love them as a backing paper like this? They come in a strip so I did this before cutting them up, but you could also lay them back onto a large stamp pad to do it at a later date. I have been wanting these little dears for a while too, I got them in the sale, love them.
|This is the full version of the Arch above, I was really pleased with this card, I love doing this kind of work, adding all the pattern and colour mix whilst still making the stamp the centre of attention. Mind you I think this stamp looks lovely whatever you do with it.
|And this is IT - the card that was on German TV !!! And the presenter talked about it for a little while, I have no idea what she said so I will make it up for myself, Ohhhh a little bit of indulgent self praise or should I go the critical route? She was probably actually just telling people to join the HSE Crafting Club??? Clarity Blending Mat

We've already looked at the importance of authenticity when building a brand. But how does that affect other parts of your brand, like its visual identity?
Developing your brand identity is in many ways, the easiest part of the process, because if your values are truly defined, and you've built a profile for your ideal customer base, established your market positioning, and created a formula to tie this all together, it will all help define and shape many of the visuals which come to communicate your brand, through your identity.
They key is to closely remember your values throughout the process, ensuring that they are communicated and etched into the foundations of your brands visual foundations. The values are all well and good, but if you don't tell anyone about them the time spent on forming them is wasted.
Creating your identity is in essence a way of visually showing your businesses personality to the world. It isn't about whether you like the colour pink, or your husband thinks blue is synonymous with financial institutions though, it's about creating a true representation of your business, offering and utilising the chance to make a great, and impactful first impression.
A great identity should perfectly embody your passion and values whilst cutting through the noise of a saturated world, one where instant gratification is prevalent, and content is consumed in throw away form. Standing out by utilising your values and message is a seriously underestimated approach when it comes to creating and building an identity that connects you with your audience.
If things feel slightly uncomfortable, because it feels unfamiliar both generally, and within your sector, it can often be the key sign you're on the right track. After all, you didn't start a business to operate in the same way as everyone else, did you? So why would you want to communicate in the same way as them? All great brands (Many of which have since inception spawned many imitators) can always be traced back to taking a different approach in their communications and marketing. The highly coveted Apple, for example, often referenced as being the king of standout brands, perhaps no longer stand out so highly, due to the sheer saturation of imitators was driven by the mantra of thinking differently.
Read: Commissioning a re-brand
In 2017 minimalism, and restrained visuals within commercial brands and advertising is fairly accepted and widely used. But imagine seeing 'Think Different' on a lonely page in 1997, against a sea of busy, post-modern inspired advertising and branding. It must have been mind-blowing to see a publicly traded company with such a heavy media and general presence pushing such bold, restrained and timeless visuals across international campaigns.
So don't be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve, show your values boldly, and communicate your point of difference clearly. Then begin to think about in terms of communicating your brand through touchpoints.
But what next? Building a brand can often seem simple and incredibly overwhelming in equal measure. The first decision you make is who to hire to work with on your brand identity. How do you find an agency or studio? My suggestion, would be to find a studio whose work and ethos you feel fit what you're trying to achieve. Someone who truly understands your culture and ethos. Chemistry is of as much importance here as visuals. It can be argued that the visuals are the shallow outcome of your work together, and besides which, any good agency should be able to design beautiful things without too much strain. A deeper chemistry will mean the agency really 'gets' your company, and what you're looking to achieve, which in turn will mean they're not afraid to disagree with you if they feel you're straying too far from the original vision. Their objective opinion can be hugely valuable in helping to drive you forwards, and pushing your brand far beyond the superficial.
When creating your identity, it's worth trying to keep the bigger picture in mind, working with your chosen agency should involve creating a system, which visually embodies your values and proposition, rather than a rigid set of rules. With the sheer breadth of channels, avenues and touchpoints which your brand can be utilised across, it's important it's able adapt and remain flexible to enable you to quickly apply it as and when needed, not hinder a responsive approach.

These predictions are based on birth nakshatra (Star) . A nakshatra is calcualted from the moon's longitude during birth. In birth chart / jathaka this is denoted. The given predictions are for male horoscopes.
1. Physical features: Revati born will have very good physique, moderately tall and symmetrical bodies with fair complexion
2. Character and general events: He is very clean in his heart, sincere in his dealings and soft-spoken. He has knack of dealing with others as per the occasion warrants. He does not give much heed to others unnecessarily. Since he has a completely independent life he easily gets hurt when resistance arises. He cannot keep anything secret for too long time. He will not blindly believe even his loved ones. But once he takes somebody into confidence, it is not easy to keep away them out of his attachment
He is very hot tempered. Come what may, act according to his inner calling is his principle. He tries to observe the principle, which he feels, is correct and resist tooth and nail till the end for achieving or following that principle. He draws premature conclusion on any matter. He is God fearing, superstitious, religious and rigid in the observance of orthodox culture and principles
He is stubborn and ambitious. Even a slightest failure of his ideas or plan will give him maximum torture. Out of all the Nakshatra born persons, Revati born persons are the most God fearing and religiously much inclined. Hence they also enjoy the maximum blessings of the Almighty
3. Education, sources of earnings / profession: He will be interested in the scientific solutions, historical research and ancient cultures. He will be known publicly for the merits in any one of the three fields mentioned above. Ancient cultures include astrology and astronomy also
He can be a good physician, astrologer or poet. If he is employed in a government organization he can be the most successful person. Revati born are mostly settled in foreign countries. When I say foreign countries it includes quite a reasonable distance from one's own birthplace. He will come up in his life with his own efforts. His intelligence and abilities are the inherent qualities at birth. He cannot stick to any particular field of job for long time
He cannot expect to gain much compared to the ratio between work and reward till his 50th age. Period between 23 years and 26 years will be a good period whereas period between 26 to 42 years of age will mark a lot of problems both financially, mentally and socially. It is only after his 50th year he can think of worriless and stable life.
4. Family life: He cannot have any help from his relatives and even from father. In other words, he is unlucky to enjoy the benefits from his near and dear ones. However, his married life will be moderately good. His spouse will be quite an adjusting type
5. Health: He is prone to fever, dysentery or dental diseases, intestinal ulcers and ear problems.

The internet is saturated with terrible dietary advice. It's usually offered by misinformed nutritionists and published by outlets like the Huffington Post, where even the most outlandish stories are passed off as reliable science journalism.
So in this age when we have unlimited access to information, much of it being nonsense, I'm always excited to stumble upon a well-written, well-researched book about nutrition, which is exactly what I found in Keto Clarity (KC), by Jimmy Moore and Eric C. Westman.
The book offers a concise explanation of ketogenic diets and why they're excellent for anyone who wants to lose weight and get healthier, which, I think, includes most of us, judging by the CDC's obesity statistics. For any readers who are unaware, though, a ketogenic diet is one that eliminates most carbohydrates and replaces them with healthy fats and limited amounts of protein, the Atkins Diet being the most popular representation, though Atkins isn't always ketogenic. Nonetheless, diets in this vein have been heavily criticized over the last three decades by journalists, politicians and even doctors who saw them as a threat to public health. Following authors like Gary Taubes, Moore and Westman take on this criticism directly and detail why these diets work so well.
I'm certainly no scientist, but I've written quite a bit about low-carb diets over the last three years, and nearly everything I read in KC is the same information I came across while researching my articles on this topic. Studies have shown over and over, for example, that ketogenic diets are excellent treatments for obesity, and they regularly beat out other diets when compared to them in clinical studies. Likewise, there is ample evidence that the human body functions perfectly well on a high-fat diet, indeed fat is probably the body's preferred source of energy. Strange as that may sound to many readers, it makes sense in light of the fact that our ancestors thrived on high-fat diets.
If you're concerned about the intellectual muscle behind this book, don't be. Jimmy Moore, though a knowledgeable health writer in his own right, wisely recruited Dr. Eric C. Westman as a co-author for the book. Westman is a professor of medicine at Duke University, which means the information in Keto Clarity is coming from an actual scientist, and one with an impressive publication record.
It's always comforting to know that the authors of a science book are knowledgeable, but it's especially important in this case for one reason: the weight loss industry is dominated by people who simply have no idea what they're talking about; they have never actually had to lose weight and have little or no experience treating obesity. Still, these folks happily write books and give lectures telling the rest of us how we should eat if we want to slim down. KC, however, begins with an interesting anecdote about Moore's struggle with obesity and how he became so interested in nutrition, and each chapter contains commentary from researchers and doctors, 23 by my count, who have extensive experience studying and treating obese patients. After watching food scolds like Meme Roth accuse fat people of gluttony for over a decade now, Moore and Westman's approach to the subject was refreshing.
There's far more information in the book than I can cover in a short review, so I'll close by saying that KC was an informative and entertaining read. Do go buy it. You just might end up smarter and healthier as a result.

Clash of Titans: Christianity vs. Dr. Mohler's theology
The fireworks continue between BioLogos and the esteemed Joseph Emerson Brown Professor of Christian Theology and President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, God's chosen Arbiter of Faithful Readings of the Scriptures, and official representative of the spirit of biblical interpretation on earth, Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. The latter has responded to Karl Giberson's own response to an unreadably ignorant lecture recently given by The Great Baptist Paraclete.
A lot of the specific furor has been over Mohler's original charge (it was no bland statement) that Darwin's important trip aboard the Beagle was undertaken in search for evidence for an already assumed evolution. Giberson's objection to this mischaracterization of history and Darwin's motives is duly noted, but I myself am not so sure that Giberson's stance that Darwin was still consciously nursing his "childhood faith" when he left aboard the Beagle is quite right, either.
Still, to acknowledge that Darwin's faith was already somewhat cultural and never particularly personal as Mohler is intent to do is not at all to grant the demonstrably and consciously false implication of Mohler (and his fellow rotten teeth in Fundagelicalism) that Darwin was intent to find ways to bolster a rejection of a "literal" reading of Genesis — still less of faith in God's creative role in general. The Beagle naturalist Darwin was a man who struggled more with problematic tenets of Christianity and organized religion in general, and not until his heart-breaking family crisis much later in life did his doubts orbit the question of the basic existence of God.
For Mohler, though, this would make no difference: the fact that he would even question Mohler's understanding of "orthodox Christianity" at all would make any compatible beliefs he held highly suspect at best. This is where the best part of Giberson's latest response picks up:
Let me conclude by responding to your charge that what I "have actually succeeded in doing is to show how much doctrine Christianity has to surrender in order to accommodate itself to evolution." As a theological layperson, I hesitate to engage a trained theologian on this question, but let me rush in where angels fear to tread and offer that "doctrines" are human constructs, much like "theories" are in science. They are not facts—they are explanations or interpretations of facts.
You seem to equate your understanding of how the Bible should be read with plain-fact Christian orthodoxy. There we must part ways, and I suspect that at the end of the day, this may be the real point of contention. I do not think that I am showing how much doctrine Christianity has to surrender, but how problematic fundamentalist literalism is for engaging science. [my emphasis]
You're darned right that this is "the real point of contention"! As Mohler stated categorically, "The theory of evolution is incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ even as it is in direct conflict with any faithful reading of the Scriptures." The poor guy's fear is explicitly the "costs" of accepting evolution "in terms of theological concessions." Concessions? Would the decision to consider another piece of (rock solid) evidence in order to help us in our interpretation of Scripture mean that we'd actually have to reevaluate something we had already believed without examining? Might one honestly approaching the scientific evidence in order to help better understand Christianity as it actually exists, which to varying degrees it always does independently of our perceptions of that reality, be forced to "concede" that an earlier perception was incomplete, inadequate, or even just plain wrong?
If that's so unthinkable, Dr. Al, you're right: you better run from evolution like the plague.Tagged with: Al Mohler • BioLogos • evangelicalism • fundamentalism • Inerrancy • Karl Giberson • Reformed • systematic theology • The Fall • theistic evolution

The Fight to Stop Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia
"Legalized Euthanasia would not lead to Involuntary Killing." is by James D. Torr. He is a published author and an editor of children's books and young adult books. Some of the published credits of James D. Torr include Genetic Engineering. He writes on issues of a controversial nature. In his article he talks about how society has a slippery slope argument against euthanasia. Slippery slope arguments against euthanasia hold that if voluntary, physician-assisted suicide is allowed in certain cases, it will inevitably be allowed in cases that are not as clear-cut, and eventually there will be an unstoppable army of euthanasia-happy doctors running the nation's hospitals. Once terminally ill patients are allowed access to assisted suicide, the argument goes; no amount of vigilance can prevent the ensuing bloodshed. Women, the disabled, the poor, the elderly, and any number of minority groups will become victims of forced euthanasia, or so Americans are told.
He says that Legalized Euthanasia will not evolve to full blown killing of patients.
Now if this scenario sounds alarmist, that's because it is. Slippery slope arguments are designed to play on people's fears. But where is the evidence that such nightmarish scenarios are unavoidable? There isn't any evidence. People who agree with the article above compare it to Nazi Germany. They have no proof but what the Nazis themselves sanctioned as murder under the name euthanasia. "As philosopher Daniel Callahan explains, "The Nazi experience is only partially relevant. Theirs was not a move from legal voluntary euthanasia to involuntary killing. They never had the first phase at all, but went straight to the killing."(Larue)
I also think another fallacy used in this paper is extreme emotional appeal. They take one of the most extreme...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland is a marvel of scientific engineering. After its discovery of the Higgs Boson the time is ripe for an exhibition all about it – and the Science Museum has obliged.
The exhibition kicks off with a ten minute video filled with interesting facts such as, at 27km in circumference the main synchotron is roughly as long as the Circle line, but it quickly descends into trying to convince the audience of how emotional the research is. It also comes across as patronising at times and tries too hard to be funny yet never succeeds, except for a brief cameo by Brian Cox.
After the video completes the exhibition opens up and, credit to the curators of this exhibition, they haven't made it fact heavy or tried to drown visitors in particle physics speak. There are interesting artefacts including sections of the tube that protons must travel down at the speed of light, mocked up reports, video presentations and scrawled equations.
By breaking it all up into snippets rather than blocks of text, the exhibition remains interactive but it never feels like it has a cohesive narrative. It also does a great job of explaining what the Large Hadron Collider is but not what it does nor the gravity of what it has achieved.
The exhibition struggles to decide whether it wants to focus on the attributes or the personnel of CERN thus never fully achieving either. The design and look of the layout is brilliant but the central video presentation looks very high tech, yet it's unclear what it achieves. This contrast of good and bad elements continues throughout the show and is what prevents it from feeling like a complete exhibition.
Collider is on at Science Museum until 5 June 2014. Tickets are £10 for adults, £7 concessions.
Also on at the Science Museum is an interesting display on 3D printing and photography in their brand new media space. Entrance to both of these is free.

Author studies are a great way to work on comprehension skills in the classroom. Plus you are able to introduce the students to beloved book characters.
Today I am posting my first author study packet for Laura Numeroff. Over the next few months I will be creating several author study packets with a similar structure. This way the students can become familiar with the packet and begin to become more independent. As the year progresses the comprehension skills will change but the format will continue to be the same for each author study.
In this first packet you will find a page for meet the author, book recording page, book characters and one page for each book included in the study. Also included is a compare and contrast page, class voting result page, and a page to record the student's favorite book from the study.
I hope you enjoy this author study packet!

I've been thinking about a new project for a little bit. Here's a hint:
I'm plotting to send a postcard each day in May. What do you think?
Want me to send you a postcard? Leave a note in the comments section and I'll put you on my list.
Yes, please!
And I want it to have at least a "what if" question like you might write to a favorite 5th/6th grad "reading" teacher.
Please tell me more about the "what if" questions. I want to make sure I'm doing this whole postcard thing correctly.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA infections were uncommon in children in Canada until the 1990s. Using a standardized case report form, treating physicians reported children hospitalized due to MRSA infections in Canadian hospitals through the Canadian Pediatric Surveillance Program in a 24-month period 2008 to 2010. Of 155 cases reported, 70% were ≤4 years of age and approximately one-third had an underlying medical condition. The most common clinical infections involved skin and soft tissue 69%, the lower respiratory tract 12%, and bone and joint 10%. Almost one-third had had contact with the health care environment in the previous year and 18% had a known household member with MRSA. Initial therapy with a beta-lactam alone occurred in 65%, while 22% included vancomycin. No child in this cohort died but 14% required admission to the intensive care unit. Of 143 reports of individual isolates, 93% were reported susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 63% to clindamycin and 50% to mupirocin.
The present study involved only children hospitalized with MRSA infections. It may not be representative of the children treated as outpatients nor children in selected areas of Canada where MRSA infections may be more endemic. Further targeted surveillance to identify risks and treatment practices in these populations may be important.

Feeling uninspired, stuck, anxious, or unhappy is no way to go through life. Change can happen in an instant, and it begins with a simple decision. Start that change today.
Sometimes in life, the greatest risk is to do nothing at all, and to let life just happen to us. If you want to feel more fulfilled and inspired, start that journey today.
Don't simply go through the motions. It's time to start conquering obstacles, uncovering passions, and creating the life you want.
The young people I work with are looking for change, growth, and inspiration, but don't have the tools yet to achieve those things. Many of them: – Want to feel inspired. – Keep doing the same things, but hoping for different results. – Experience a general sense of feeling stuck. –… Read More

That is an example of gratuitous sarcasm.
We have been waiting for good rain for months. Now that we have a road trip planned, a 4,000km round trip…. now, we are getting rain. Lots and lots of it. Just what we needed to make things really interesting…
Substantial sections of our route south are already subject to flood warnings. Water storage dams along the way have already had to do controlled releases into the surrounding waterways for fear of damage, leading to further flooding.
This is the view from the front and side of the house. That looks like an uneventful trip, doesn't it? (That was more gratuitous sarcasm, by the way).
Oh, and in case you were thinking it looked a bit chilly and miserable, think again. It's hot and miserable. 32°C/90°F, and the humidity is due to reach 88% in the next hour as that wet front crosses the coast. Think hot bathroom filled with steam and you have an inkling of what it feels like to step outside.
We're not taking any stupid chances. Roads are closed and cars have been swept away already. If it gets too bad, we'll have defer, even if it means rearranging everything on the trip. Boo. 😦
Welcome to the tropics, baby.

The Ruffle Skirt
Here it is! I think it will be so cute on my daughter, and I have to thank Vanessa at V and Co. for the inspiration. Vanessa has a great blog, and made a skirt just like this. Imitation being the greatest form of flattery, I ordered the same color fabric. I've been into the grays lately, and my daughter prefers dark colored skirts anyway - and how many black skirts can I make??
This skirt took 30 minutes start to finish. My kind of quick sew! The most time consuming part was matching up the ruffles at the one seam, and pinning each one so they stayed in line. I already had an elastic waistband sewn into a circle, because one day I made a few in my daughter's size for times like this. Boy, was that a great idea. When I sat down at the machine to sew up the skirt, it was already threaded with gray thread - bonus!
It will definitely be too long on her - she's short, and this is the perfect length for me. The really nice thing about this fabric is the no-fray factor. Hemming will consist of snip-snip. Fingers crossed she likes it - she hasn't even seen the fabric...
If you want to make one and need instructions, hop on over to Vanessa's blog where she has a tutorial.
I was looking over my stash tonight, and pulled out a piece of bouclè that is a few years old. If memory serves, it was a remnant I snagged while visiting PA one summer. I've got a lovely piece of Bemberg lining in a complementary color also...how perfect is that? I know what I'll be doing after breakfast on Saturday morn.
And Janlynn, I tossed some thread and fabric scraps on the floor and mussed up the daybed a bit for you!
**If anyone reading this blogs on an iPad, I'm throwing out a question. How do I make the pictures smaller when I post from my iPad? On my laptop, they resize automatically, and it is easy to change the size. Not so much on the iPad. If anyone knows what I'm missing, I'd be grateful if you educate me on this. TIA :)
Have a fantastic weekend,

After blasting pucks at the net all night a long-awaited equalizer by Connor Hobbs still wasn't enough to power the Pats past the Thunderbirds Friday night.
A powerplay goal from Ochapowace's Ethan Bear in the second period put Seattle up on the Pats and broke up a scoreless start to the game.
It wasn't until the third that Hobbs' shot would finally find its way past goaltender Carl Stankowski, forcing overtime.
Then just 14 seconds into the fourth frame Grenfell, Saskatchewan's Donovan Neuls collected Bear's rebound and ended it.
The final score was 2-1.
"It was tough. Obviously it's a quick goal a really good bounce for them at the start of the period and didn't go our way," said Hobbs after the game.
Head coach John Paddock said the game was pretty even throughout, and the score indicated that. He said Seattle didn't show them anything they weren't expecting.
"They played exactly how we thought they were going to play and the goalie was exactly as good as he looked in the games we watched against Kelowna (Seattle's third round match up)," he said.
"I think we have another level to go to," Paddock added.
The WHL Championship series may have begun on a hot May night in Regina, but by the end of the game at least one Seattle player received an icy reception from the fans.
In the second period, Thunderbird Turner Ottenbreit leveled Pats captain Adam Brooks. Brooks head hit the ice with some force and his visor appeared to cut him above the eye leaving a pool of blood behind.
Brooks spent some time sprawled out on the ice face down before being helped upright by the Pats athletic trainer who checked out his forehead. The captain did not return to the game.
Fans showed their displeasure with the hit by booing every time Ottenbreit touched the puck.
"I don't think it was necessarily that high," said Paddock. "But it was a Scott Steven hit and that's what I see and believe I've had 20 texts from NHL scouts from all over with the same comment."
Stevens is a hall of fame hockey player who played most of his career with the New Jersey Devils and was known for his punishing hits.
"I mean it sucks obviously," said Hobbs. "But you can't let one player dictate how the rest of the team's going to play. Obviously Brooksy was out before in playoffs and we found a way to battle and that's just what we got to do moving forward here."
A small silver lining is just that. The Pats have been without Brooks before after a knee injury sidelined him for most of the series against Swift Current. Wyatt Sloboshan moved up to play in his spot on the second line alongside Filip Ahl and Austin Wagner and the three were instrumental in the team's comeback from a 3-1 series deficit.
"Both Wags and Flip had played with Wyatt before so I thought there was quicker chemistry than there would normally be," Paddock said about the adjustments made after Brooks left the game.
When asked, he declined to give any details on Brooks' status.
The Pats – with or without Brooks – will be back in action Saturday night for game two.
The puck drops at 7 p.m.

London: England batsman Ravi Bopara, left out of the forthcoming Ashes, blames the pressure of last year`s series against Australia for stalling his Test career.
The 25-year-old batsman seemed to have cemented his place in England`s middle-order on the back of three consecutive hundreds against the West Indies, the first coming away from home and the second two in England, during 2009.
However, he suffered a wretched time during the 2009 Ashes as he scored just 105 runs at an average of 15 in the first four matches before being dropped for the decisive fifth Test that England went on to win to clinch the series.
"I think I put a lot of pressure on myself when I went into that Ashes series," Bopara told Reuters.
`Too Hungry`
"Coming off the back of those three hundreds I was on a high and sometimes, once you have had a taste of success, you get too hungry for it and I guess I got a little bit too desperate for more," he explained.
"I said to myself that I had to perform and I kept on going on at myself about it which meant that I put myself under (added) pressure."
"In hindsight it wasn`t the best thing to do. I should have just gone out and played like I did against the West Indies and not worried about anything."
Bopara has failed to add to his 10 test caps since the summer of 2009 and he missed out on a place in England`s Ashes squad for the series in Australia which begins next month.
Accept Disappointment
However, England`s selectors showed that the Essex batsman is still in their thoughts when he was awarded a contract last month.
Bopara, who fought his way back into England`s one-day team during the back end of their recent series against Pakistan, feels that his ability now to accept disappointment has made him a better cricketer.
"You can never play freely if you are expecting too much of yourself. Any bowler is allowed to get you out and you are allowed to get out for nought."
"What is important is that you try your best and just enjoy your cricket, like a kid would," he said.
"That`s a mistake I made in the Ashes in 2009. I made it too important. At the end of the day cricket is just a game whether you are playing against Australia or against one of the minnows," he added.
Bopara is currently spending his off-season with South African franchise, the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins while last winter he spent some time playing for Auckland in New Zealand.
He explained that playing cricket away from the grind of the county circuit has helped him to develop his game.
"In New Zealand and South Africa I`ve had a lot of time to find out a lot about myself, a lot about my cricket and a lot of time to practise my cricket. In county cricket you don`t really get the time to practise."
"You play a four-day game and then you play a one-dayer. You have a few days` rest and then you are back into a game again so when do you get time for quality practice when you are up for it and mentally ready for it?"
He may not have been picked for the Ashes but Bopara will be keeping a close eye on proceedings in Australia.
"It is quite even (between the two teams) but most Englishmen will say that it will be a 2-1 series to us," he said.

There can be controversies, so a Provincial Bishop or the Presiding Bishop needs to be able to do something like intervening. That does not mean minding some diocese's business when the diocesan bishop is supposed to do that. But it does mean offering alternatives.
Case in point: Many of the Apostles probably would not pass muster to become postulants or candidates for holy orders. In fact, some of them would probably be turned away out of hand. Two that come to mind are St Matthew (said to have been a tax collector, and not as nice as your typical IRS agent), and of course, St Paul. Many jurisdictions which have other barriers to ordination. For me, the only one that is absolute is if an applicant is a registered sex offender, particularly if the person is listed on a Meagan's Law Web Site. That is not to say that all others are "wide open", it means that there is one that I will not consider and others I will review and decide.
And here is what I mean about offering alternatives. Let's say that there is someone who wants to become a priest but there is something which that person's diocesan bishop considers a bar. There are so many influences and manipulations, especially early in life (read: before 60) that some flexibility might be needed.
If I want to admit that person, then that person becomes mine and my responsibility (which means someone knows to toe the mark). If, after ordination, another bishop is willing to have that priest, all well and good. If I have an opening, that's fine too. But priesthood is no guarantee of employment. I'm writing this while holding a "day job" myself, if that's a clue. But I'd have given that person the opportunity to pursue priesthood, prove himself/herself, and then do something with their ordination.
That also does not mean that I will open the door for anyone. But I do own a pair of scissors to keep my hands untied.
Blessed Be!

The recent interventions by China to try to halt its stock market meltdown are significant but not unprecedented, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Friday, pointing to similar moves in Japan and Hong Kong in the 1990s.
The financial markets in China are getting their first dose of real volatility, and regulators there are learning how to deal with it real-time, Rudd told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
"[China's] stock markets are not mature. Financial markets are not mature," he said. "And as a result, I think regulators are having in many cases their first burst of reality of how you deal with this sort of volatility."
Chinese stocks rebounded for a second session Friday, with the Shanghai composite adding 4.5 percent after Thursday's gain of nearly 6 percent. The market has fallen 24 percent since hitting seven-year highs in mid-June, although in the past year, it's up
90 percent in the past 12 months. After this week's crash, the government made a series of moves to quell the panic—including banning shareholders with large stakes in listed firms from selling, suspending initial public offerings and relaxing margin lending and collateral rules.
"This [intervention] is not unique in the annals of capitalism, even with Chinese characteristics," said Rudd, who is president of the think tank Asia Society Policy Institute. "Remember, it is a communist country, which says publicly that it runs a one-party state, which will intervene in the economy when it so chooses."
When thinking about the China's stock market and economy, Rudd said one has little bearing on the other.
"The role of the stock market there cannot be faintly equated with the significance of the New York Stock Exchange to the overall robustness of the U.S. economy," said Rudd, whose country has close trading ties with China.

Originally published on January 4, 2011.
Justice Antonin Scalia has angered feminists once again. This time the justice declared in an interview that there are no prohibitions on sex discrimination in the Constitution. This has feminists on the Left infuriated: Scalia's words are sexist, chauvinistic, and unconstitutional! But is the justice correct? Does the Constitution actually prohibit sexual discrimination? Is that what the Founders specified and intended? Actually, no, the Founders never placed any anti-sexual discrimination or gender equality clauses into the Constitution; Justice Scalia is correct.
As a traditional conservative feminist, I am against sexual discrimination toward men and women, gay or straight. I fully support women fighting in combat if they pass training and perfect much needed military skills and I don't care if the best heart surgeon available is a cross-dressing Liza Minelli drag queen. If one's job skills are superb, that person deserves the job and best pay.
I do, however, believe in discriminating against pedophiles and rapists. They are a threat to human life; therefore, they should have no other job than scrubbing prison floors for the rest of their inhuman lives.
Thus, as a true feminist, I reviewed the entire Scalia interview and found nothing sexist or discriminatory about it.
Scalia was asked by UC law professor Calvin Massey:
In 1868, when the 39th Congress was debating and ultimately proposing the 14th Amendment, I don't think anybody would have thought that equal protection applied to sex discrimination, or certainly not to sexual orientation. So does that mean that we've gone off in error by applying the 14th Amendment to both?
Yes, yes. Sorry, to tell you that. … But, you know, if indeed the current society has come to different views, that's fine. You do not need the Constitution to reflect the wishes of the current society. Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't. Nobody ever thought that that's what it meant. Nobody ever voted for that. If the current society wants to outlaw discrimination by sex, hey we have things called legislatures, and they enact things called laws. You don't need a constitution to keep things up-to-date. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box. You don't like the death penalty anymore, that's fine. You want a right to abortion? There's nothing in the Constitution about that. But that doesn't mean you cannot prohibit it. Persuade your fellow citizens it's a good idea and pass a law. That's what democracy is all about. It's not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing these demands on society.
Scalia is absolutely right.

The illuminati are servants of satan. They hate mankind since their master boils in envy at
the thought that we - humans - not Lucifer - are created in G-D's image and that he sent his
son to bleed and die for us on the cross. They hate children and unborn children, the most
innocent of creatures in particular, they have a special disregard for. This writer has run across
something on the internet that is even more vile (I hope that is good grammar) than the article
that preceeded this one dealing with ressurected cows for human consumption.
The UAB or spanish-acronym for Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (Autonomous
University of Barcelona) in Spain has proudly announced that it has successfully implanted
bar codes in mouse embryos. SEE: www.kurzweilai.net/scientist-attach-barcodes-to-mouse-embryos-human-ones-coming-soon .
The Bar Code has been repeatedly linked to 666. It is the source precursor to the Mark of the
Beast. firstname.lastname@example.com/msg69828.html . The Mark of the Beast
is essentially a Devil Bar Code that a human must, according to scripture "accept". The poor
forming humans that will be subjected to this atrocity do not have the chance to reject the evil.
They do not have the chance to know Christ and hear and heed his message or that of any
religion that would reject human Bar Coding, whatever it might be. The Devil must be desperate
and now needs to RFID humans at the embryo stage. They cannot speak for themselves but ,
guess what? You can speak for them. Please contact anyone that you think can help to stop
this blight and ask them....no, beg them... if necessary to fight this evil. To Blacklist UAB and
anyone who funds the school or the program until they purge this filth from their institution.
The time to act is now...before it is too late for even one human being in the formative stage.
Be a voice for the voiceless. Do something today. Write. Speak. Send an email chain. Make a
Difference by taking a stand against this scheme. That is all I have to say. The rest is up to you.

Petition to Stop Human Embryo Bar Coding tests

The Obama revolution, and there was the hope of one, might still succeed. But only if Barack Obama follows the model of the incredibly successful Reagan revolution and heeds the political base that made his presidency possible.
Love him or not, Ronald Reagan had at least one outstanding political virtue-his respect for the concerns of those who placed their trust in him. And whenever the political vultures that feast on power tried to lead him astray, they were fired at the insistence of Reagan or his remarkably savvy wife, Nancy. Hopefully Obama and his no-less-impressive mate, Michelle, will do the same.
The first obligation of Obama as president is to be a peacemaker, since he as a candidate seized that mantle, successfully exploiting his early opposition to the Iraq war, which his closest rival, Hillary Clinton, had supported. Obama, as opposed to her flirtations with U.S. imperial arrogance, has stuck to a vision of a complex multipolar world in which the military option is to be chosen only as a last resort.
In that regard the president is making some progress, particularly with his decision to stop provoking the Russians with an unneeded and unworkable missile defense on their border. He also seems serious about getting the Israelis and Palestinians to peace negotiations, the one issue in the Mideast that must be solved if the region's religious fanatics are to be neutralized. And he will deserve credit if he backs his attorney general's quest to hold the enablers of a U.S. government torture policy accountable.
The deal breaker in foreign policy so far has been his escalation of the folly of U.S. nation-building in Afghanistan that feeds rather than mitigates terrorist recruitment. That is the unmistakable, if unintended, conclusion of the 66-page declassified report of Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal that became public this week. It states: " ... many indicators suggest the overall situation is deteriorating. We face not only a resilient and growing insurgency; there is also a crisis of confidence among Afghans-in both their government and the international community-that undermines our credibility and emboldens the insurgents."
The report makes clear that the insurgents are deeply divided into three camps (one of which previously fought against the Taliban) and are basically homegrown, and provides no evidence that defeating them has anything to do with making us safer from attack by al-Qaida terrorists. Lest we forget, the 9/11 hijackers found it easier to operate from Germany, San Diego and Florida rather than forlorn Afghanistan.
The foreign influence behind the insurgency comes primarily from one of the countries we are allied with; as the report notes, "Afghanistan's insurgency is clearly supported from Pakistan." And the document goes on to say that the historical India-Pakistan rivalry has now been transferred to Afghanistan, where "the current Afghan government is perceived by Islamabad to be pro-Indian." Great, another Kashmir battlefield in the making.
Obama was right during his appearances Sunday on the TV political talk shows to put the emphasis on going after what remains of Osama bin Laden's forces in Pakistan and elsewhere rather than simply throwing more troops into the Afghanistan war. He raised the all-important question of what U.S. troops in Afghanistan are expected to do.
The McChrystal report agrees that the key is the question of mission rather than simply increasing troop numbers: "Success is achievable, but it will not be attained simply by trying harder or 'doubling down' on the previous strategy. Additional resources are required, but focusing on force or resource requirements misses the point entirely. The key take away from this assessment is the urgent need for a significant change to our strategy and the way we think and operate."
There is a sobering honesty to McChrystal's report that those who want to "win" in Afghanistan must take into account. The mission the general outlines is one of nation-building with a vengeance by U.S. forces that must forsake the safety of their bases, learn the local languages and enter into the administration of local life without being able to count on the support of the hopelessly corrupt and, after the rigged election, illegitimate Afghan government. "Afghans are frustrated and weary after eight years without evidence of the progress they anticipated," the report says.
It's the old winning-hearts-and-minds strategy that has never worked-as Richard Holbrooke, Obama's point man in the region, should know from his failed efforts to win hearts and minds during the war in Vietnam, where he specialized in "rural pacification." That was a Democrat's war, and the base of the party, which knows better than to repeat that disastrous error, should tell the president so.
