Bilawal Bhutto Zardari could be excused for rejecting Pakistani politics; He has lived out of the country for most of his life and both his mother and maternal grandfather were murdered after serving the nation as Prime Minister.
On the 18th of October 2014 (Saturday), the 26 year old chairman of Pakistan People’s Party will take his biggest step till date. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will be giving a keynote speech at what the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) claims will be its largest assembly in the past seven years. The rally aims to kick off a number of events across Pakistan which are intended to renew the PPP’s fortunes and to elevate Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s political profile.
The president of the Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency, Ahmed Bilal Mahboob remarked that this rally is going to be Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s first test of his abilities. He added that Bilwal Bhutto Zardari has some pluses as he is young, educated, enjoys the Bhutto legacy and a clear-cut stance against terrorism. Ahmed Bilal Mahboob also said that the next six months will be critical for him and the Pakistan People’s Party.
The Pakistan People’s Party, which in the last elections lost its power to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. PPP lost its popularity because of electricity shortages and increasing terrorist attacks in its regime, which supported Nawaz Sharif against the protesters who have camped in Islamabad for the past two months to get rid of Nawaz Sharif’s government. Pakistan People’s Party observes the risk of a coup structuring in a country ruled by the armed forces for more than half of its life.
A senior Pakistan People’s Party leader and senator, Taj Haider said that democracy is in danger and PPP unified the parliament for the defense of democratic system and the first attack was a letdown. But now the Pakistan People’s Party is mobilizing the people because the mobilization of parliament alone shall not suffice.
The Pakistan People’s Party was used to be one of the largest and most influential political parties of Pakistan. It encounters the challenge of attracting a vote bank won over by Nawaz Sharif’s pro-business appeal and PTI (opposition)’s leader Imran Khan’s motto of change. After creating an alliance with government following the elections held in 2008, after the last elections, the Pakistan People’s Party got restricted to rural areas of the southern Sindh province only.
Ijaz Durrani, the spokesman for Pakistan People’s Party said that Saturday, 18th October’s rally will mark the anniversary of the attack at PPP’s political event which was held in Karachi in the year 2007. The event was attended by thousands of supporters of PPP who gathered to celebrate the return of ex Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto after eight years in exile. Since the twin blast incident which killed around 139 people and injured above 500 others.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who is the oldest child of Benazir Bhutto and former President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari was made chairman of Pakistan People’s Party after his mother was assassinated in the year 2007. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who has graduate from Oxford University announced that he plans to fight for a parliamentary seat for the first time in the general elections which will be held in the year 2018.
In his speech on 6th October, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said:
“I asked my mother why we don’t take revenge and why we always practice reconciliation. She taught me that democracy is the best revenge, and I’ve been saying this since I was 19.”
The founder of PPP was Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As per the PPP’s website, he formed the party in the year 1967 as a reaction to the autocratic and ‘people-unfriendly’ policies of the military-bureaucratic-feudal nexus of power that ruled Pakistan since the time it came into existence in 1947.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s famous slogan of “Roti, Kapra Aur Makan” “food, clothing and shelter” for each and every Pakistani, echoed among the poor residing in rural areas and rapidly made the party the largest national political party in Pakistan. It managed to win an absolute majority in Pakistan’s first general elections which held in 1970.
Seven years after that general Mohammad Zia ul Haq detained power in a military coup. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death and his sons were killed, one was murdered in France and the other one in a Karachi shooting attack.
Benazir Bhutto was imprisoned for five years right before her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s execution. Later in the year 1988 she became the very first democratically elected female prime minister of an Islamic country.
Benazir Bhutto headed two separate governments. In 1996 her government was dismissed on corruption charges. After 1999, Benazir Bhutto divided her time between Dubai and London to avoid accusations of misstating her assets and taking bribes on Pakistani state contracts.
Benazir Bhutto was murdered soon after she returned back to Pakistan in a firing and bomb attack during PPP’s political rally in Rawalpindi. Next year in the general elections, PPP won 125 seats out of 342 seats in National Assembly. Last elections, their seats count fell to 46, with Nawaz Sharif’s led Pakistan Muslim League grabbing 189 seats.
On his mother’s fifth death anniversary (27th December 2012), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari made his political debut.
Rashid Ahmed Khan who is a professor at University of Sargodha, Punjab said: “The PPP wants to cash in on its past. I do not think giving the same old slogans will attract people, but at the same time it is not a finished force.”
Bilawal Bhutto Zardaei, who learned Urdu (Pakistan’s national language) after returning to Pakistan, has published audio posts of himself reading Urdu poetry on Twitter prior to the rally telling he will never forget the lessons of his grandfather or leave the path chosen by his mother. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari committed that he will live and die with the people.
After Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s maiden public rally, the Pakistan People’s Party plans to hold gatherings in various other cities of Pakistan to mobilize the nation for democracy.

The Government of Zimbabwe is opening up the public transport system for other private players in order to complement the services being provided by ZUPCO.
“The liberalization of the public transport system shall be done under terms and conditions to be published by the government. The Police would need to ensure that law and order is adhered to as the behaviour on our roads needs to be seriously attended to non-adherence to the rules and regulations to be gazetted would not be tolerated.”President Emerson Mnangagwa said.
While addressing the nation on measures adopted by the government to restore confidence, preserve value and restore macroeconomic stability this Saturday. The President advised that private Kombis that will join the public transport system will have to follow the rules and regulations set.
The announcement was a response to public outcry over ZUPCO’s incapacitation to meet public transportation requirements timeously as the parastatal continues to engage private players to operate under its franchise.
President Mnangagwa pledged to lead a listening administration that has moved in to alleviate the challenges faced by the commuting public, especially workers who had to spend much of their time in queues waiting for transport to and from work.
He also added that to augment the existing public transport facility, the government will allow the duty-free importation for a period of 12 months, for vehicles which meet regulations to be issued.

The seriously flawed Mpumalanga education system, which is further crippled by maladministration and corruption, is going to get a total overhaul.
In a wide-ranging interview with Sowetan on Friday, Premier David Mabuza said his administration wanted to deal with the provincial education system, which he described as "rotten to the core".
He conceded that the system had failed to produce credible results.
"Since our inception our matric exams have had problems. We are going to deal decisively with the system, incompetence and corrupt officials who compromise the education of the children," he said.
"If officials and teachers see business in the selling of a question paper, then they are in the wrong place."
Mpumalanga has experienced mammoth challenges related to scholar transport for pupils that have to walk long distances to schools.
Pupils in farm schools have little chance of coming out of the system prepared for life after school.
"We have failed as government over the years to deal with the farm schools situation. If you go to a farm school you cannot call what is happening there education.
"You find children of all grades in one classroom - which is a shack, and we expect children to pass in that environment."
Mabuza, a former high school teacher, said the foundation of the education system was flawed.
"The foundation of the education system is flawed. It's unfortunate that the country uses matric as a yardstick. The important phase is at primary level, where a child is being prepared.
"We need to do away with farm schools because they are not viable," he said.
"Scholar transport is not properly run and we are not getting value for money. The nutrition scheme is also not correctly run because of people who want to make profit."
Mpumalanga looks set to get its first university ahead of Northern Cape. The two provinces do not have tertiary institutions.
Mabuza said his government had agreed with the Ministry of Higher Education on the urgency of the situation.
"We are looking for land where we are going to build it, and we are going to move ahead with plans and designs and we will submit these to the minister."
Residents of Mataffini went berserk recently, protesting about the delay in the rebuilding of their schools, which were demolished to make way for the Mbombela Stadium.
They calmed down when the state made a commitment that the schools would be ready in March.
Mabuza downplayed a lack of service delivery as the main factor that triggered the protests that engulfed the province's townships recently.
He said the main source of the protests werepeople who were positioning themselves for political office.
"We held meetings to get a sense of what were the causes, the hype of the coming local government elections. The attack was strong on councillors, some of whom were implicated in corruption."
He said he found it strange that areas that protested violently had minimum levels of service delivery.
"There is a fair amount of service delivery in areas where there were protests; they have houses, water, and power compared to areas that never had protests. People who were supposed to stand up and say there is no service delivery are very patient."
He condemned the violence that erupted during the protests.
Mabuza, who will be delivering his state of the province address next week, will elaborate about the planned economic summit in his speech.
The mining industry will be put in the spotlight and is to outline its commitment to realigning its community involvement in line with government plans.
Mabuza will also unveil plans to curb the influx of illegal immigrants, who reportedly put a strain on the social welfare system.
Border patrols will be improved ahead of the soccer World Cup tournament.
He said the government had installed boreholes worth R14million to give residents access to clean water.
Housing provision will also be coordinated from the premier's office to avoid haphazard planning.

The International Olive Council (IOC) released a statement today in response to the much-publicized UC Davis Olive Center report that found most samples of imported extra virgin olive oils failed to meet international standards for extra virgin classification.
For its part, the IOC called the size of the sampling — 52 bottles and 19 brands — to be “not statistically significant.” The statement went on to say that the IOC conducts chemical tests on “some 200 samples of imported oils sold in the United States” each year and, according to IOC findings, anomalies are detected in less than 10% of the imported oils analyzed. Any irregularities are referred to the appropriate association for necessary action.
Other complaints about the Davis study in the statement included:
The IOC statement was the latest response to the Davis study that scrutinized 14 imported and 5 California brands of extra virgin olive oils bought at California supermarkets. The samples underwent tests in laboratories at the Davis campus and Australia. Of all imported olive oil brands tested only one, Kirkland Organic, was found to pass the sensory tests with all three regional samples collected. As for the California brands just one, Bariani, exhibited sensory defects sufficient to fail extra virgin sensory standards.
The report has received considerable media coverage as headlines like “Nothing Extra About Imported Extra-Virgin Oil” (NBC) and “Lab Tests Cast doubt on Olive Oil’s Virginity” (LA Times) have made for attention-grabbing copy. Hundreds of outlets have covered the story since the report was first posted here nearly two weeks ago.
The International Olive Council is the world’s only international intergovernmental organization in the field of olive oil and table olives. It was founded in Madrid, in 1959, under the auspices of the United Nations. It used to be known as the International Olive Oil Council or IOOC until 2006, when its name was changed.

Whether he’s ready or not, the Patrick Peterson era is about to start in Arizona.
A torn ACL has ended Greg Toler’s season before it was able to begin, likely forcing the rookie Peterson into a starting role. The No. 5 overall pick was supposed to be eased into the Cardinals’ lineup, but with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie now a Philadelphia Eagle and Toler on the injured reserve, Peterson will likely start for Ken Whisenhunt from the get-go.
Peterson will be paired with another unproven youngster in A.J. Jefferson, who barely played as an undrafted rookie last year. Peterson and Jefferson have two games of experience between them.
Expect veteran Richard Marshall, who was signed as a free agent this month, to play a pivotal role. Marshall and Michael Adams are the only cornerbacks on the roster with starting experience, but Adams is also hurt right now.
Just 18 months ago in Arizona, Antrel Rolle and Rodgers-Cromartie made up one of the most talented young corner duos in the league. Rolle, a two-time Pro Bowler, was released for financial reasons before signing with the Giants last offseason. Rodgers-Cromartie was dealt to the Eagles for Kevin Kolb earlier this month.
Now, it’s a dire situation for a defense that gave up an ugly 7.3 yards per attempt and 56 completions of 20-plus yards with Rodgers-Cromartie in 2010.

Elizabeth relives the last 133 days of her mother’s fight with cancer through daily email updates sent by her father. She takes a realistic approach to hope, questions the definition of “faith” and embraces her impending sadness. For anyone who’s ever lost a loved one to cancer, or has been a cancer caretaker, Elizabeth’s stories and experiences will remind you that you’re truly not alone.

We’re mere months away from the Yellowstone franchise expanding anew, as the fifth season of the mothership neo-western is dropping in mid-November, followed by the December arrival of the prequel drama 1923. The drama is in the midst of filming, and only recently announced a slew of new cast members joining spinoff leads Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. And now, another casting report has revealed one of the final missing pieces of the Dutton ancestral puzzle, and it ties back to the post-1883 years.
Actor Brandon Sklenar, has joined the 1923 cast in the role of Spencer Dutton, the second son of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill), according to Deadline. This will be the first time fans get to see the character, who’ll be the nephew of Ford’s Jacob Dutton, as a full-grown adult, having only previously witnessed him as a younger child.
To be sure, Spencer Dutton wasn’t a part of the 1883 series itself, as it took place before he was born. Rather, he was introduced via Yellowstone first Season 4 flashback, which technically aired before 1883 hit Paramount+. As portrayed by Charlie Stover in both that and the follow-up flashback later in the season, Spencer Dutton is the younger brother of John Sr., who’ll be portrayed in adult form by James Badge Dale for 1923, and Elsa, who was played with grace by Isabel May, though she obviously won’t be back for more.
While we don’t know too much about Spencer Dutton just yet, one important element noted is that he’s a World War I vet who apparently came out of it with some horrific memories. That trauma-stricken headspace speaks to other characters within this franchise, such as Sam Elliott’s Shea Brennan and LaMonica Garrett’s Thomas in 1883, as well as Dave Annable’s Lee and Luke Grimes’ Kayce in Yellowstone.
The role of Spencer Dutton could easily turn out to be the biggest one yet for actor Brandan Sklenar, assuming 1927 comes anywhere close to following in the high-viewership footsteps of its predecessors. He’d previously been part of projects such as the Matt Smith-starring biopic Mapplethorpe, and was most recently seen in episodes of Westworld Season 4 and Paramount+’s The Offer limited series.
The actor actually has another throwback western role on the way, as Brandon Sklenar will also pop up in the pilot for The CW’s prequel Walker: Independence. Beyond that, he’ll star in the upcoming drama God Loves the Green Bay Packers.
Everyone with a Paramount+ subscription can look forward to seeing the Dutton family expanding in huge ways when 1923 debuts in December. Head to our 2022 TV premiere schedule to see what new and returning projects will be hitting the small screen in the coming months.

Cochon 555 Wrap Up
Houston chefs go whole hog at impressive Cochon 555 pigfest, and the winner is......
Film fans around the world may have been watching the Oscars on Sunday, but Houston’s culinary community turned its attention to a place closer to home — the downtown JW Marriott.
Organizer Brady Lowe described the event as creating a “topsoil of education” about these pigs, which produce more flavorful, fattier meat than their conventionally-raised counterparts. Speaking to the judges, a collection of local media, chefs (including last year's winner, former Down House chef Mark Decker), and sommeliers, Lowe said he hoped for the day when diners would be as excited about paying $35 for a heritage pork chop as they are spending “two grand” for a really great bottle of wine.
Until that day comes, the five participating chefs — David Cordua (Americas), Philippe Gaston (Izakaya), Richard Knight (Hunky Dory), William Wright (Helen Greek Food and Wine), and Justin Yu (Oxheart) — spent Sunday night convincing the crowd of 450 attendees that whatever premium they might pay to consume these animals is offset by their deliciousness. They also competed for the title “Prince of Porc” and prizes that included cookware from Williams Sonoma, two giant bottles of bourbon, and a trip to the Cochon finals in Aspen.
At first glance, Yu would have appeared to be the favorite. After all, he is the most acclaimed of the participants: a former Food & Wine Best New Chef, a two-time James Beard Award Best Chef Southwest finalist, the chef/owner of the only Houston restaurant on Eater’s list of the 38 most essential restaurants in America, and recently cooked as part of the prestigious 12 Days fundraiser at three-star Michelin The Restaurant at Meadowood.
On the other hand, Yu is best known for his careful cooking of vegetables as part of Oxheart’s delicately assembled tasting menus. In order to compete in the full-flavored excess of Cochon 555, Yu reached back to his recent past and revived his Money Cat pop-up of self-described “grungy Asian dishes.” By turning his Iberico pig from Acorn Seekers farm into dishes like Dan-Dan noodles with poached pork belly, Mala Sichuan-style red oil dumplings stuffed with dirty rice, a homemade hot dog, and, in a collaboration with soon-to-open doughnut shop Morningstar, a donut hole filled with chocolate ganache and pig’s blood, Yu edged out his competitors to take the title.
Although the other chefs didn’t win, all of them turned in impressive efforts. Standout dishes included Cordua’s honey-glazed chicharron, Knight’s smoked meringue filled with pork liver mousse and strawberries, Wright’s fried headcheese olives, and Gaston’s pate de champagne.
In addition to all the eating and drinking, the night had a charitable component. By buying parts of a pig that was butchered during the event, attendees contributed over $3,500 to the Piggy Bank, which provides heritage-breed pigs to family farms that submit an approved business plan.
While those efforts are certainly praiseworthy, what makes Cochon 555 so successful is that it's a really good time. In addition to featuring some of Houston's top chefs among the five teams, the event features high-quality spirits and plenty of wine.
Pop-up stations like a beef tartare bar from State of Grace chef Bobby Matos, a ramen bar from Kata Robata chef Manabu Horiuchi, and desserts from Fluff Bake Bar chef Rebecca Masson help ensure that just when it seems like someone has sampled every possible bite, another eating opportunity presents itself.
Let's do it again next year.

That's because, unlike her debut record, it contained songs that Twain herself wrote and delivered in her own distinctive way. Caused former husband Mutt Lange, The Woman In Me stunned the region music world, brilliantly bringing a catchy pop sensibility to the genre. It is my hope that you can see for the story that i just shared from my own life experience the power you actually have simultaneously.

WASHINGTON, July 19, 2017 – The National Retail Federation today named Representative Mike Kelly, R-Pa., Legislator of the Year as retailers from across the country gathered for NRF’s annual Retail Advocates Summit congressional fly-in.
“Mike Kelly is a true advocate for the retail industry and we want to thank him for his ongoing support,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “We need the backing of lawmakers like him to help retailers across the country grow their businesses and create jobs in their communities.”
"Retail means jobs, retail means growth, retail means opportunity."Representative Mike Kelly
“I am incredibly grateful to receive this tremendous honor and want to express my gratitude to everyone at today’s breakfast,” Kelly said. “Retailers are the backbone of our nation’s economy. They impact every single American’s daily life, from the food we enjoy to the clothes we wear to the cars we drive, and everything in between.”
“As a lifelong automobile dealer, I know firsthand just how important retailers are to not only consumers but to our associates, their families, and the communities they call home,” Kelly said. “Retail means jobs, retail means growth, retail means opportunity. I consider it a personal duty to help keep these things true by bringing my own private sector experience to the table each and every day on behalf of all those who ‘walk the walk’ and know how our economy truly works.”
Kelly is a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, where he serves on the tax, trade and Social Security subcommittees. He was chosen for the Legislator of the Year award by the NRF Policy Council because of his support of pro-growth tax reform and his opposition to a controversial border adjustment tax proposal that would drive up prices for consumers and potentially force some retailers out of business.
The National Retail Federation is the world’s largest retail trade association. Based in Washington, D.C., NRF represents discount and department stores, home goods and specialty stores, Main Street merchants, grocers, wholesalers, chain restaurants and internet retailers from the United States and more than 45 countries. Retail is the nation’s largest private-sector employer, supporting one in four U.S. jobs — 42 million working Americans. Contributing $2.6 trillion to annual GDP, retail is a daily barometer for the nation’s economy. NRF.com

Have been spotting wild roses growing all over the Black Hills of South Dakota. Some of the plants are very short, and others are up to 3 foot tall.
It seems they also attract a variety of bugs, look at all the ones I found when I downloaded my photos! First some little black dude, almost looks like he is upside down, maybe DOA??
And, this one, some green almost translucent dude. Ya, this photo is a bit out of focus.

text: Noroviruses (NoVs) belong to the Caliciviridae family of viruses and are responsible for causing the majority of gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. In the past decade, research on NoV biology has intensified because of the discovery of murine NoV and subsequently the first cell culture system and small animal model for NoV replication and pathogenesis. In this review, we discuss the current literature on NoV biology, focusing particularly on NoV replication and the interaction between NoV and the host immune response. Understanding the NoV replication cycle and its interaction with cellular processes and innate immune immunity will help develop molecular targets to control human NoV infection and prevent outbreaks. In addition to the innate immune response, we have documented the current efforts to develop NoV vaccines to control outbreaks.

NASA’s got answers.
For some reason, ever since it was first discovered last December, Comet Elenin has been surrounded by a lot of misinformation regarding the danger it poses to Earth. True, it will be swinging around the Sun in a path that takes it “relatively” close to Earth and the other inner planets in October, but remember that in astronomical terms “relatively” close can still mean very, very far away. Like, 22 million miles far away. That’s 90 times the distance between Earth and the Moon! (Or, put another way, just over a quarter the distance from here to the Sun.)
Far. Very far. Especially for a chunk of ice and loose rubble most likely less than 7 miles wide.
I mean sure, you wouldn’t want it to smash into Earth by any means… but it won’t. They’re 99.999% sure of that (and I’m even being conservative on that percentage.)
Still there’s a lot of junk news being spread around about this little visitor from the outer solar system, ranging from the merely misinformed (its non-existent magnetic field cannot cause an earthquake) to the outright outrageous (a fleet of alien spaceships hiding behind it? Really??) so NASA has decided to recruit JPL’s Near-Earth Object specialist Don Yeomans and David Morrison of the NASA Astrobiology Institute to answer some common questions about Comet Elenin.
Since it’s their job to know this stuff, which they do very well, I tend to defer to their judgment on such things…
When will Comet Elenin come closest to the Earth and appear the brightest?
Comet Elenin should be at its brightest shortly before the time of its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 16, 2011. At its closest point, it will be 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from us.
Will Comet Elenin come close to the Earth or between the Earth and the moon?
Comet Elenin will not come closer to Earth than 22 million miles (35 million kilometers). That’s more than 90 times the distance to the moon.
“Any approximate alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies are meaningless, and the comet will not encounter any dark bodies that could perturb its orbit, nor will it influence us in any way here on Earth.”
– Don Yeomans, JPL
Can this comet influence us from where it is, or where it will be in the future? Can this celestial object cause shifting of the tides or even tectonic plates here on Earth?
There have been incorrect speculations on the Internet that alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies could cause consequences for Earth and external forces could cause comet Elenin to come closer. “Any approximate alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies are meaningless, and the comet will not encounter any dark bodies that could perturb its orbit, nor will it influence us in any way here on Earth.”
“Comet Elenin will not only be far away, it is also on the small side for comets,” said Yeomans. “And comets are not the most densely-packed objects out there. They usually have the density of something akin to loosely packed icy dirt.
“So you’ve got a modest-sized icy dirtball that is getting no closer than 35 million kilometers [about 22 million miles),” said Yeomans. “It will have an immeasurably miniscule influence on our planet. By comparison, my subcompact automobile exerts a greater influence on the ocean’s tides than comet Elenin ever will.”
I’ve heard about three days of darkness because of Comet Elenin. Will Elenin block out the sun for three days?
“As seen from the Earth, comet Elenin will not cross the sun’s face,” says Yeomans.
But even if it could cross the sun, which it can’t, astrobiologist David Morrison notes that comet Elenin is about 2-3 miles (3-5 kilometers) wide, while the sun is roughly 865,000 miles (1,392,082 kilometers) across. How could such a small object block the sun, which is such a large object?
Let’s think about an eclipse of the sun, which happens when the moon appears between the Earth and the sun. The moon is about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) in diameter, and has the same apparent size as the sun when it is about 250,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) away — roughly 100 times its own diameter. For a comet with a diameter of about 2-3 miles (3-5 kilometers) to cover the sun it would have to be within 250 miles (400 kilometers), roughly the orbital altitude of the International Space Station. However, as stated above, this comet will come no closer to Earth than 22 million miles.
I’ve heard NASA has observed Elenin many times more than other comets. Is this true, and is NASA playing this comet down?
NASA regularly detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing relatively close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called “Spaceguard,” discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them and predicts their paths to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet. For more information, visit the NASA-JPL Near Earth objects site at http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ .
However, neither NASA nor JPL is in the business of actively observing Elenin or any other comet. Most of the posted observations are made by amateur astronomers around the world. Since Elenin has had so much publicity, it naturally has attracted more observers.
(There’s more too… read more of Don and David’s responses on Universe Today.)
These guys have a lot of answers, and that’s because near-Earth objects like asteroids – and the occasional comet – are their specialty. I’ve also posted about this topic before, as have other bloggers on many other very reputable sites. Really, there’s nothing to worry about from this comet… if anything, astronomers will get a nice look at a member of our solar system as it passes and maybe learn a little more about these enigmatic icy travelers.
Update: here’s a video commentary from David Morrison about Elenin, released on August 18. He touches on many of the questions above and addresses a few others as well. Check it out:

My favorite part was his subcompact car exerting more effect on tides than the comet.
Hale-Bopp was the greatest. Hyakutake was still cool. I wish this one would be like McNaught was for the Southern Hemisphere a couple years ago. Guess we’ll need a bigger snowball.
Personally I think we should go back to the days when people cried and screamed and rent their clothing and gnashed their teeth when comets appeared in the sky. Maybe next time. 😉
Ok, here is my question…. Where are the news reports about it, where are the pictures of it. If it was spotted hundreds of millions of miles away, why aren’t there any pictures of now that it is in the inner solar system? Anyone here have any? I am not an astronomer, so I am asking you.
The easy answer: there still isn’t much to see. The comet is still far away and is very small. It most likely still is a tiny blurry dot in photos. Even at closest approach it may only be barely visible from Earth.

A recent study quantified and ranked the strength of association between visual function and quality of life domains specific to glaucoma patients. It revealed that driving and psychosocial domains tend to be most affected by glaucoma-related deterioration of visual function. The investigation also noted that primary open-angle glaucoma appears to impact the majority of quality of life domains, even at early stages of the disease.
The researchers, based at the University of Pennsylvania, conducted a comprehensive review of 21 studies on quality of life in glaucoma patients. They included only the most recent studies that investigated the association of quality of life with parameters of visual structure as measured by SD-OCT. These studies used either the 25-item or 51-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire. The team ranked the strength of association between quality of life scores and visual function and structure on a scale from one (weakest) to 12 (strongest).
Associations were also reported between quality of life and visual function both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, with a stronger association of visual function and acuity with distance activities (average ranking 9.1 and 9.6, respectively), vision-specific dependency (8.7 and 8.9, respectively) and driving (8.6 and 9.7, respectively). The researchers noted that visual function loss was more strongly associated with social and psychological dimensions of quality of life, while visual acuity was more associated with functional dimensions of quality of life. The domains least associated with visual function were ocular pain and color vision. Interestingly, general health was also among the least associated domains.
The researchers believe that their approach provides more specific information on how glaucoma affects patients and allows clinicians to better anticipate and meet patient needs. “Since these scores were associated with objective functional and structural measurements of glaucoma, they could be used for more patient-centered management of disease,” the researchers concluded.

Each year, more than 700,000 incarcerated individuals leave federal and state prisons; within three years of release, 40 percent will have committed new crimes or violated the terms of their release and be reincarcerated. One strategy to counter such recidivism is to provide education to inmates while incarcerated so that they have the knowledge, training, and skills to support a successful return to their communities.
With funding from the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, awarded RAND a cooperative agreement in 2010 to examine the current state of correctional education for incarcerated adults and juveniles and where it is headed, which correctional education programs are effective, and how effective programs can be implemented across different settings. One key part of this effort was a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis of both published and unpublished studies released between 1980 and 2011 to synthesize the findings from many studies about how effective correctional education programs are in helping to reduce recidivism and improve postrelease employment outcomes for incarcerated adults in state prisons. We focused largely on recidivism, because it is the outcome most often assessed in the literature. We also compared the direct costs of correctional education with those of reincarceration to place the recidivism findings into a broader context.
The quality of the studies' research designs were rated using the Maryland Scientific Methods Scale, where Level 1 is the least rigorous (e.g., a study with no comparison group) and Level 5 is the most rigorous (a well-executed randomized controlled trial with low attrition). All told, 50 studies for recidivism and 18 studies for employment (those rated Level 2 or above) were included in the meta-analysis; for the highest quality standards (Levels 4 and 5), there were only seven studies for recidivism and one study for employment.
The higher-quality research studies (Levels 4 and 5) indicate that, on average, inmates who participated in correctional education programs had 43 percent lower odds of recidivating than inmates who did not. These results are consistent even when the lower-quality studies are included. This translates to a reduction in the risk of recidivating of 13 percentage points for those who participated in correctional education programs versus those who did not.
Because most state prison inmates have not completed high school, high school/General Education Development (GED) programs are the most common approach in the studies we examined. When we focus only on studies that examined such programs relative to no correctional education, inmates who participated in high school/GED programs had a 30 percent lower odds of recidivating than inmates who did not. In general, studies that included adult basic education (ABE), high school/GED, postsecondary education, and/or vocational training programs showed a reduction in recidivism.
In looking at postrelease employment, we found—using 18 studies spanning Levels 2–5—that the odds of obtaining employment postrelease among inmates who participated in correctional education (either academic or vocational programs) were 13 percent higher than the odds for those who did not. But only one of the 18 studies had a high-quality research design.
One might expect vocational training programs to be more adept than academic education programs at imparting labor market skills, awarding industry-recognized credentials, or connecting individuals with prospective employers. And, indeed, individuals who participated in vocational training programs had odds of obtaining postrelease employment that were 28 percent higher than individuals who had not participated in such programs.
Although correctional education is effective, is it cost-effective? Focusing on recidivism and using a hypothetical pool of 100 inmates, the direct costs of correctional education programs and of incarceration itself, and a three-year reincarceration rate, we estimate that the direct costs of providing education to inmates range from $140,000 to $174,400 for the 100 inmates (or $1,400 to $1,744 per inmate). The three-year reincarceration costs for those who did not receive correctional education are between $2.94 million and $3.25 million, versus $2.07 million and $2.28 million for those who did. Reincarceration costs are thus $870,000 to $970,000 less for those who receive correctional education. Thus, the direct costs of providing correctional education are cost-effective compared with the direct costs of reincarceration. Because the analysis accounts only for direct costs and not for such things as the financial and emotional costs to crime victims and costs to the criminal justice system as a whole, this is a conservative estimate of the broader effect correctional education could yield.
Our study shows that correctional education improves the chances that inmates released from prison will not return to prison and may improve released inmates' chances of postrelease employment. Our findings are consistent, regardless of whether we restrict our analysis to only the higher-quality studies or include studies across the spectrum of research design quality. Further, our cost analysis suggests that correctional education programs can be highly cost-effective when it comes to recidivism. And compared with other types of rehabilitative services provided within prisons, correctional education is an intervention that can affect almost every offender.
That said, our analysis highlighted a continuing need to understand what is inside the "black box" of effective programs, such as curriculum, dosage, or quality. To inform policy and funding decisions at the state and federal levels, policymakers need additional information and a better understanding of how these programs work (and of what does not work). Also, the evidence base in this area should continue to be built.
One option for building the evidence base is for state and federal policymakers and foundations to invest in well-designed evaluations of correctional education programs. Also, researchers and program evaluators need to strive to implement rigorous research designs to examine questions related to potential selection bias and program dosage and to also measure more proximal outcomes, such as changes in motivation, literacy gains, developing skills needed by local employers, and attaining academic degrees and industry-recognized certificates. Funding grants and guidelines can help further the field by requiring the use of more rigorous research designs. Such funding would also enable correctional educators to partner with researchers and evaluators to undertake rigorous and comprehensive evaluations of their programs. Last, a study registry of correctional education evaluations that included study details (e.g., information about the program and intervention, the evaluation design, characteristics of the treatment and comparison groups, and outcomes measures used) would help states making strategic decisions on whether and how to recalibrate programs to adjust to changes in funding and changes in the prisoner population.

Pray for the Monks
A powerful earthquake devastated a string of mountainous towns in central Italy on Wednesday, trapping residents under piles of rubble, killing at least 38 people and leaving thousands homeless.
The quake struck in the early hours of the morning when most residents were asleep, razing homes and buckling roads in a cluster of communities some 140 km (85 miles) east of Rome.
The town of Norcia is near the epicenter, which is the birthplace of St. Benedict and the home to the Monastery of Monks of Norcia. They send this:
Many of you have by now heard of the earthquake that struck us during the night. The quake was a powerful one with a magnitude of 6.2. We’ve taken the past few hours to assess the situation.
First: We are OK. We are alive, and there are no serious injuries to report. Sadly, there are many injuries to report among the people of the region, especially those in small mountain villages. Please pray for them. We monks will do what we can to contribute here on the ground, but we’ll need your spiritual support in a special way during this period.
Second: We, as many others in Norcia and surrounding areas, suffered a lot of damage to our buildings and especially to our basilica. It will take some time to assess the extent of the damage, but it is very sad to see the many beautiful restorations we’ve made to St. Benedict’s birthplace reduced, in a moment, to disrepair.
Third: What can you do? Please, pray for us, for those who have lost their lives, who have lost someone they love, who have lost their homes and livelihoods. We will need your help, as always but now in a special way, to start the project of rebuilding. Please consider making a gift to help us get started.

1st Gear: Honda Gives A Glimpse Of An Urban Crossover
USA Today reports that Honda has shown off a sketch of what it's calling an "urban SUV crossover" which it plans to unveil in Detroit next month. It says this will be a global vehicle, with a "sporty and dynamic" SUV profile as well as a spacious interior. USA Today says it would slot in size below the CR-V in Honda's lineup in the U.S.. It's one of the new vehicles being planned off Honda's small Fit platform. As we told you Monday, the Fit and its offshoots will be built at a new factory Honda is building in Mexico. Honda is bent on hitting the sweet spot after the miss it experienced with the Civic. So, you can bet it will be watching reactions closely to this new model.

While my first review of Matthew Bates’ latest book dealt with his Introduction and opening chapter, here I will deal with the book as a whole. Gospel Allegiance brings out important questions, many of them being questions Christians have debated for some time. While these may not all be new questions, Bates poses them in a new light, which is why this book is important for students of the Bible (and especially of the New Testament world) to read.
The author points out a basic gap between what the word “faith” has evolved into visa vis what the Greek word pistis would have meant to the authors of the New Testament and their immediate audience. “Ancient words have their own meanings that do not map perfectly medieval, Reformation-era, or modern words or definitions.”
Faith, in our naturalistic-leaning setting, now carries the unfortunate connotation of being anti-evidence, as being “blind” and illogical. Bates insists that faith in the New Testament does not carry such connotations; if modern evangelicals continue to mainly use such language, we may be guilty of misleading people and misrepresenting the gospel, “wrongly mak[ing] people think that Christian faith is irrational and arbitrary.”
I find Bates’ point relevant especially in light of the “Science vs Scripture” debate and dichotomy. I am reminded of Ken Ham who authored a children’s Bible insisting that the earth is 6,000 years old. (This is done in the name of faith of course.) “Faith” has become a loaded term, and in in some circles it has taken on the connotation of “stupidity” and “naivety.” While I don’t think we should cater to intellectuals (this would be very “Corinthian” of us), we ought to take great care to preserve what the biblical authors would mean by certain words rather than accept what they (over time) evolved into.
Bates’ solution is to point to a word like “allegiance.” The question is, Why this word? Is it really better than our cherished word “faith?”
Bates finds a word like allegiance to be more holistic, carrying connotations of “faithfulness, reliability, fidelity, and commitment.” He finds support from various passages, one example being Acts 16: “When Paul tells the Philippian jailer, “Pisteuson on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, both you and your household” (Acts 16:31 AT), context demands that this involve an embodied switch in the jailer’s loyalty, no longer to the emperor’s magistrates” but now to Jesus as Lord (bold mine).
Bates notes that a contemporary of Paul’s, Josephus, commonly uses pistis in terms of allegiance. Besides this, there is also such usage found in the Apocrypha and Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament). Bates is quick to point out that pistis does not always mean “faithfulness”—we must let context decide.
In chapter 3, the author stresses the kingship of Jesus, and how often this is left out of our gospel presentations. Christians, for one reason or the other, don’t really talk about Jesus as king, unlike the New Testament authors. What is usually mentioned in our presenting the gospel is the substitutionary nature of Jesus’ death, while the enthronement of Jesus to God’s right hand and the fact that he has been exalted as king is often left in the dust (or reduced to a mere footnote). “This must change if we are to get the gospel right.” (When “Christ” is mentioned in the New Testament, this is a reference to the kingship of Jesus.)
A very important section graciously deals with John Piper’s objections to those who see Jesus’ kingship (rather than justification by faith) as the center/heart of the gospel.
“Although Piper has wrongly forced euangelion [Greek for gospel/good news] to carry improbable meanings, he is correct to insist that Paul’s gospel absolutely must include the good news of forgiveness from sins.”
And yet, as Bates rightly points out, the “overarching framework” of the gospel is that “Jesus is the saving king.”
The author points out that the way evangelicals present salvation as instantaneous can be at odds with how salvation in the New Testament is often presented as a process (1 Corinthians 15:1-2). A common notion is that salvation occurs instantaneously when one utters a prayer and/or has a profound and deep experience with God. But what if we are both saved and being saved? While the notion of being saved may very well rub some evangelicals the wrong way, this is one way the the New Testament authors frame salvation.
Another discrepancy between the evangelical presentation of the gospel and that of the New Testament is our emphasizing of the individual: Christ died for your sins whereas in the letters of Paul the emphasis is on a community: Christ died for our sins. Although we enter the church individually, upon our entering we become a corporate identity.
What I most appreciate in Gospel Allegiance is the author’s gracious and warm tone. My hope for this book is that rather than further divide believers, this be a conversation starter regarding the role of works in salvation, sanctification, and the nature of the gospel.
Who is this Book For?
I recommend this carefully-written book to anyone who is serious about studying what Scripture says about discipleship, faith, and the gospel. A call to abandon naivety and to take upon ourselves a more well-rounded and robust (and well-thought out) faith, Gospel Allegiance ultimately beckons us to return to what the Bible says over and against what we’ve been told the Bible says.
