With sweeping books like A History of God and The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong is known for her singular insight into religion in our world. But Armstrong herself first discovered an interest in world religions in midlife, and practically by accident.
She was a Roman Catholic nun at a young age, with a narrow view of Christianity and no knowledge at all of other traditions. She spent years after that as a non-religious person.
After my conversation with Karen Armstrong, I felt that her personal trajectory of faith strengthens her personal appeal for modern readers. She is a formidable intellectual, but as a theologian she calls herself an amateur, in the full sense of the Latin root of that word "amateur" — "a lover" of her subject.
America today is full of amateur theologians: people who are searching for a fullness of knowledge about their own faith and that of others, and who find this search to be intellectually thrilling and spiritually nourishing. Some conduct their searches outside the realm of religious practice altogether. Others supplement and complement their formal religious lives with further reading, learning, and thinking.
Karen Armstrong's books have helped many people think more deeply about religion in the world in recent years. I'll turn over the rest of this reflection to illuminating words she shared in our interview — and that I have continued to ponder.
On becoming a student and scholar of religions:
"Early on I had a great gift. I was reading a very scholarly and wonderful book about Islam in three volumes, and I lit upon a footnote that explained in very dry academic language what a religious historian was supposed to do. He — I think they assumed it would be a he rather than a she — was supposed to practice what was called 'the science of compassion.' Now science is used here in the sense of scientia, 'knowledge.' So it was a knowledge acquired by compassion. And compassion, of course, doesn't mean feeling sorry for people, pitying people. Compassion, com-pas-sion, means 'to feel with.'
"And in this little footnote, the author said that you must not lead the discussion of a religious idea or a theology or a personality such as Muhammad without being able to find out what lay at the root of this, not to dismiss these ideas out of hand from a superior viewpoint of post-enlightenment, Western rationalism, but to divest yourself of that rationalistic outlook and enter the minds of these mystics and sages and poets and keep on asking, 'But why? But why?' And filling up with scholarly knowledge the background until you come to the point where you can imagine yourself feeling the same, or believing the same as them until basically the intellectual idea learns to reverberate with you personally."
On the essence of religious experience and ideas:
Theology, I think, should be like poetry, a work like the Qur'an.
"Now a poet spends a great deal of time listening to his unconscious and slowly calling up a poem word by word, phrase by phrase, until something beautiful is brought forth, we hope, into the world, that changes people's perceptions. And we respond to a poem emotionally. And I think we should take as great a care when we write our theology as we would if we were writing such a poem, instead of just trotting out an orthodox formula, or an orthodox definition of God, or a catechism answer. So that when people listen to a theological idea, they [should] feel as touched as when they read a great poem by, say, Milton or Dante.
"And we should take as great care with our religious rituals as if we were putting on a great performance at a theater, because that ritual was originally designed to lead us to transcendence, instead of just sort of mechanically going through motions of our various rites and ceremonies. [We should be] trying to make them into something absolutely beautiful and inspiring, because I do see religion as a kind of art form."
On religion and violence:
"One of the things I've been finding recently in my studies is that every single one of these major traditions that continue to nourish humanity all began in extremely violent societies. They all came to birth in times like our own, which are filled with violence and when society seemed to be crumbling. And all of them took a position against violence, tried to find what lay at the core of this — which is largely egotism, fear, greed and hatred — and to relate deeply to this. And they were deep and profound, these religious traditions, to the extent that they eschewed violence.
"And also because these religions were all operating in times of great violence, that violence in the surrounding world sometimes seeps into the Scripture. We have it in our Bible, for example. On one page God is telling us not to kill, and then a few pages later we find God telling the people of Israel to wipe out all the inhabitants of Canaan. Jesus, in the New Testament, tells his followers to turn the other cheek, not to attack and to forgive and love. And then we turn to the Book of Revelation where he, Jesus, is leading armies and destroying the enemies of God in battle with great gusto.
"Same with the Qur'an. There are moments when Muhammad is the general telling, 'You've got to fight hard. You've got to fight the enemy wherever you find them,' as any general has to do. But then, ultimately, 'forgiveness is better.' Ultimately, if the enemy seeks peace, you've got to lay down your arms immediately.
"When we look around the world in many of these conflicts, it's not that religion has sparked these traditions, it's rather that violence has become endemic in a region and religion has got sucked into that vortex of violence."
On prayer:
"I see my work, my study, as prayer. Its silence, the disciplines of the science of compassion where you get out of your own preconceptions and into the world of another, this changes you. And I love my work. While I'm studying I will sometimes have intuitions of awe and wonder and transcendence. And some of my Jewish colleagues tell me that's exactly what Jews do when they study Torah and Talmud and immerse themselves in the sacred texts. So yes, I am a religious person and I'm still on a quest. I still haven't finished. Who knows where I will end up. But at the moment, I see my path as drawing great nourishment from other traditions, learning to absorb them, and trying to make the delight of my private studies accessible to other people."

text: The bill raises the annual H-1B visa cap, raises H-1B wage requirements, and requires employers to make significant efforts to recruit U.S. workers. The current H-1B visa cap of 65,000 is replaced with a cap that fluctuates between 115,000 and 180,000 based on a market escalator formula that considers employer demand and unemployment data. The lowest level wage that must be paid to H-1B workers is raised by narrowing the range of wages that employers must pay H-1B workers. Employers are required to place mandatory ads and perform other good faith recruitment to find U.S. workers before hiring an H-1B worker. Employers cannot intentionally displace U.S. workers and must pay an additional fee to place an H-1B worker with another company. Heavy users of the H-1B program, such as H-1B dependent employers or H-1B skilled worker dependent employers, have additional obligations, such as offering the job to U.S. workers first and a prohibition on having more than 50 percent H-1B or L-1 workers in their workforce. The bill also makes it easier for H-1B workers to change employers and limits employers' ability to place L-1 workers with other employers.

I think it's fair to discuss individual songs and what we like or don't like about them. We don't have to agree.
For my part, I'd agree with Laz on "Dear Friend." I can't listen to that song. It goes NOWHERE. Nice beginning...then...what?
As for "I'm Carrying," however, I'm of a different mind. There are times I've listened to it and thought, 'hmm, there is no chorus, the lyrics are repetitive..." but then, there are other times where I think it's nearly a perfect little love song. Intentionally simple, sweet, and to the point.
Also, not ALL his songs-- come on, the guy has written kazillions of them-- have to be immaculate model compositions written in some form of Tin Pan Alley/George Gershwin/Steven Sondheim-type of songwriting class perfection.
This type of over-analysis was done on the early Beatles. And, of course, most "serious" critics dismissed them as a fad, as incompetent, out of tune, banal, lousy-voiced frauds, who couldn't properly play their instruments. Sort of like Paul's own father, who didn't understand why they sang "yeah, yeah, yeah" and wanted them to correct it to "yes, yes, yes."
We all know what history has taught us there.

Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, today is a historic day for the National Association of Friendship Centres here in Canada. As MPs we all have aboriginal and non-aboriginal constituents who benefit from the services provided by aboriginal friendship centres.
My constituency is served by three centres. There is the Sagitawa Friendship Society, the High Level Native Friendship Centre Society, and the Grande Prairie Friendship Centre.
Being acutely aware of the good work done by friendship centres, I am proud to be co-chair, along with the hon. member for Nanaimo—Cowichan, of the friendship centres all-party caucus to be announced later today.
Friendship centres are Canada's most significant aboriginal service delivery infrastructure. Every region in Canada from sea to sea is served by at least one friendship centre. Championing this good cause will provide all MPs an opportunity to work together for a common cause. I truly hope that colleagues of all parties will join in our efforts.

Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a remarkable woman from Rushoon, a small rural community in Newfoundland and Labrador. On November 5, Mrs. Margaret Moores turned 104.
Mrs. Moores was born, raised and has lived most of her life in Rushoon. She and her husband, Arch, were married for 64 years and raised four children. For the last 18 years she has been living with her daughter, Marie, and her son-in-law, Patrick Cheeseman. She has 12 grandchildren, four of whom are members of the Royal Canadian Forces, and 14 great-grandchildren.
I visited with her recently and was amazed by her recollection of events that have occurred in her 104 years. This is a lady who saw the first car when it arrived in St. John's, Newfoundland. She witnessed the formal unveiling of the National War Memorial in St. John's on July 1, 1924, and she can recall many details of life in Newfoundland, pre-Confederation.
Mrs. Moores is not remarkable just because of her age. She is incredibly active, has a keen mind and memory, and at 104, does not take any medication.
I ask all members of the House to join me in recognizing Mrs. Moores and her 104 years.
Aboriginal Friendship Centres
Statements By Members

Marc Lemay Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, representatives of aboriginal friendship centres are on the Hill today to make the government and elected officials aware of the need to increase the budgets allocated to their activities although the Minister of Canadian Heritage refused to meet with them.
Aboriginal friendship centres are vital to aboriginal Canadians who live in urban areas. The centres provide services that correspond to their specific cultural context and help them find the support they need outside of their communities.
The services offered vary between centres and include early childhood and youth assistance, education, employment, training, social services and health services, just to name a few.
On behalf of the members of the Bloc Québécois, I would like to commend the unique contribution made by aboriginal friendship centres in urban settings throughout Quebec and Canada.
Osteoporosis Month
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, November is Osteoporosis Month. Osteoporosis can be debilitating, painful and dangerous, especially because many people are unaware they have it until a painful fracture occurs. Osteoporosis Canada has launched an awareness campaign, as over two million Canadians suffer from this disease, including one in four women and one in eight men over the age of 50.
The health care cost of treating osteoporosis and fractures in Canada is estimated to be around $2 billion annually, and it is on the rise along with the aging Canadian population.
Until fairly recently, most people considered osteoporosis and broken bones to be a normal part of aging. This is simply not the case. Julie Foley, the president and CEO of Osteoporosis Canada, states: "Osteoporosis can have significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Recognizing osteoporosis risk factors and being proactive about them is an important step to a healthier, fracture-free future".
I would like to remind all Canadians that it is never too late to take steps to slow or stop the onset of osteoporosis.
Fraser River Sockeye
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
John Cummins Delta—Richmond East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to compliment the Prime Minister for his announcement of a judicial inquiry into the management of the Fraser River sockeye.
If the government of the day had initiated a judicial inquiry into the management of Atlantic cod when the department's inability to respond to the first signs of the impending disaster became apparent, then perhaps, just perhaps, the collapse of the Atlantic cod might have been prevented.
Fraser River sockeye will not be allowed to go the way of the Atlantic cod because the Prime Minister takes seriously his duty to protect the fishery and all who depend on it. He has called for a judicial inquiry to investigate all aspects of the fishery. The inquiry will have the ability to subpoena witnesses, take testimony under oath and, most important, will have access to all fisheries department records and personnel.
The courage the Prime Minister has shown in calling this inquiry will ensure that sockeye salmon will be there in abundant numbers for future generations.
Canadian Navy Members

November 17th, 2009 / 2:05 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I wish to thank the Canadian sailors who recently welcomed me and shared their lives and their work with me.
The Canadian Forces Parliamentary Program gave me the opportunity to learn about the activities of the Maritime Forces Pacific during a four-day voyage on the frigate HMCS Regina. I have participated in the program before and each time it has proven to be a useful and rewarding experience. Discovering the day-to-day life of Canadians in the armed forces, whether in the navy or other corps, has enabled me to better understand the living conditions in which they train and to appreciate their professionalism and deep commitment to Canada.
I thank the sailors and in particular the commander of HMCS Regina, Derek Moss, and his crew. They have my full support for the extraordinary work they do in protecting our country and conducting peace missions throughout the world.
Charity Hockey Games
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative team works hard in the House for all Canadians, and we also work hard on the ice to help raise money for our local communities.
Last night I was able to lace up my skates with some of my Conservative colleagues, former NHL players and community leaders to help raise money for the United Way of Leeds—Grenville.
Our Conservative MPs have been part of numerous charity hockey games, spanning the ridings of Edmonton—Leduc and Wild Rose, Alberta to Barrie and Peterborough in Ontario. These games have raised money for local United Ways, the Royal Victoria Hospital, boys and girls clubs and victim assistance funds.
These games have been part of my colleagues' efforts to raise more than half a million dollars for various charities.
This is not going to stop. On this side of the House, we have found another great way to show real leadership and assistance for the very communities we represent.
We lace them up, and in Conservative ridings we are getting it done for local charities.
Grenville Canal
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, because of a wording technicality, a petition signed by over 2,700 people, prepared by the committee to save the Grenville Canal, could not be tabled in the House. Allow me to read a few lines:
Whereas the Grenville Canal is a significant historic heritage site for Quebec and Canada;
Whereas the retaining walls and shoreline of the Grenville Canal are currently in a serious state of deterioration that has led to the closure of the canal;
Whereas the federal government, which had assumed ownership and management of the canal for 161 years, is responsible for the country's historic sites and waterways.
For all these reasons, the members of the committee, who are here on the Hill today led by the Mayor of Grenville, Mr. Ronald Tittlit, on behalf of the petitioners, are calling on the federal government to assume the costs of restoring and repairing the shoreline and retaining walls of the Grenville Canal.
Canada-Jordan Free Trade
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Pierre Lemieux Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, our government introduced new legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan Free Trade Agreement.
When this agreement goes into effect, tariffs on 99% of Canadian exports to Jordan will be eliminated and exporters of forest, agriculture and agri-food products will have immediate access to Jordan's markets.
Our Conservative government is working hard to open new markets for our companies. For example, we have entered into free trade agreements with Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Colombia, Peru, Jordan and Panama.
This agreement with Jordan is another example of our government's efforts to provide new trade opportunities for our businesses.

Martha Hall Findlay Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the National Association of Friendship Centres' president, Vera Pawis Tabobondung, and the negotiating committee chair, Sylvia Maracle, who are in Ottawa today.
I would also like to congratulate the National Association of Friendship Centres on the launch of the federal friendship centre caucus tonight, a group comprised of representatives from all political parties in support of the friendship centre movement.
The National Association of Friendships Centres has been assisting and supporting first nation, Inuit and Métis nation community members for more than 50 years. More and more aboriginal people find themselves living in cities and towns across Canada. For many aboriginal Canadians, friendship centres are the first and only place to turn upon leaving their communities and homes.
Friendship centres continue to dedicate themselves tirelessly to providing necessary services to aboriginal families and children during their difficult transition from rural or remote life to an urban environment.
The Liberal Party recognizes the crucial role that friendship centres play in improving the lives and meeting the needs of aboriginal peoples in urban centres across the country—

Mr. Speaker, I rise first to personally welcome delegates from the National Association of Friendship Centres to Parliament Hill. Our government appreciates the hard work and services these centres provide and we remain committed to increasing opportunities for aboriginals across this country.
Second, I am honoured to welcome 14 National Aboriginal Achievement Award recipients. Each year, the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation recognizes the outstanding career accomplishments of aboriginal peoples within Canada. In reviewing the contributions of these award winners, I believe that the goal of providing role models for aboriginal youth is being achieved. The categories for which they are being recognized include health, public service, sports, and lifetime achievement, which was given to Elder William Commanda, who turned 96 on November 11.
As chair of the government's aboriginal caucus, I welcome all of them to Parliament Hill.

Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, the National Association of Friendship Centres today profiles the good work that friendship centres do from coast to coast to coast and the need for an increase in their budgets.
Friendship centres are Canada's largest aboriginal service delivery infrastructure. They deliver effective, accountable programs and services to first nations, Métis and Inuit people, regardless of status or location. When it comes to urban aboriginal peoples, no other organization, program or policy has as much impact as friendship centres.
The Indian Friendship Centre in Sault Ste. Marie has grown by 50% in the last three years. It offers valuable programs for employment, healing, prevention, youth, families, nutrition, court and much more. The Sault centre needs funding to match its growth. There has been no increase in core funding since 1996. There has been nothing for inflation, population growth or changing demands.
I join with my colleagues on both sides of the House in calling on the government to include additional funding for friendship centres in next year's budget.
International Trade
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ed Holder London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, today our government introduced legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement. Agricultural exports to Jordan currently face tariffs ranging as high as 180%. When this agreement enters into force, 99% of tariffs on Canadian exports to Jordan will be immediately eliminated.
Not only will Canadian exporters significantly benefit from this agreement, but Canadian consumers will have access to cheaper products at the checkout. This FTA will help create jobs and stimulate Canada's economy. Canadian exporters will benefit from duty-free access to Jordan in forestry, manufacturing and agriculture and agri-food products such as pulses, frozen products and beef.
Canadian farmers know that this Conservative government is working hard to open new international markets to increase their sales. Our free trade agreements with the European Free Trade Association, Colombia, Peru, Jordan and Panama are all proof. I am proud to say that this free trade agreement is another example of what our government is doing to open new doors for Canadian businesses.

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to mention the resounding victory of my new colleague, Daniel Paillé, in the riding of Hochelaga, on Monday, November 9, 2009.
He won 51.2% of the vote, an absolute majority, and the voters of Hochelaga unequivocally chose the only candidate who is able to stand up for Quebec in Ottawa, the only candidate who can defend the interests of his nation, Daniel Paillé. The best the Conservatives could do was 4th place, with a paltry 10.1%.
I would also like to acknowledge the excellent showing of Nancy Gagnon in Montmagny—L'Islet —Kamouraska —Rivière-du-Loup. She put up a good fight throughout the campaign.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of the campaigners who helped out with these two political battles.
My colleagues and I would like to welcome Daniel Paillé to the Bloc Québécois caucus.

More:Secretary of State Clinton on the FY 2012 Budget | Resource Management - International Affairs Budget | Foreign Assistance Dashboard
Today, Deputy Secretary Thomas R. Nides briefed the press on the Fiscal Year 2012 budget for the State Department and USAID. Deputy Secretary Nides said, "...I am pleased to present the 2012 budget for the Department of State and USAID. We're here to discuss with just one percent of the federal budget, how State and USAID prevents conflicts abroad, promotes prosperity at home, and delivers real results for the American people, and more importantly, how State Department and the USAID advance our national security.
"In the private sector, we often talk about ROI, a return on investment. From countering extremism in Yemen, to serving alongside our troops, to training...police force, what we do is critical to our national security. With an investment of just one percent of the federal budget, the men and women of the State Department and the USAID deliver remarkable returns.
"We recognize this request comes in difficult budgetary assignment and environment. This is a lean budget for lean times. We have made painful but responsible choices. We've scrubbed the entire budget for savings. We've eliminated foreign assistance and programs in several countries. We've reduced development assistance by over half in 20 others. We've cut funding in Europe and Eurasia by 15 percent. We've even managed to identify over $100 million in administrative savings through more efficient travel and procurement.
"In the wake of the first Quadrennial Development & Diplomacy Review, better known as the QDDR, we've aggressively sought to find new efficiencies and to change the way we do business. The QDDR recommends that we move forward on an integrated national security budget. This budget represents our assessment of the funding we need to use civilian power to advance America's security and accomplish our mission -- no more and no less.
"This year, for the first time, our request is divided into two parts. The first part is very familiar to all of you. It's our core budget. It's our foreign assistance and operations budget. This represents our ongoing investment to advance American security and economic interests. It supports our presence in about every nation in the world. Our core budget request for 2012 is $47 billion.
"The second part is our extraordinary temporary costs in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as our civilian employees take on more responsibilities. For the first time, OMB is presenting our war funding as they do with the Department of Defense, in a separate account called OCO, Overseas Contingency Operations. This will allow for a full transparency and a unified approach for the costs we believe are not part of our core budget. The State and USAID OCO request for 2012 is $8.7 billion...."
The Deputy Secretary continued, "Our core 2012 request of $47 billion supports our diplomatic and development experts in 190 countries. It represents a 1 percent increase over our comparable 2010 levels, less than the rate of inflation. And make no mistake -- even without the extraordinary war costs, the core budget is part of the U.S. Government's national security budget. It stabilizes conflict zones, it reduces the threat of nuclear weapons, it restores old alliances, it supports democratic transitions, it counters extremism, it opens global markets, and it protects citizens abroad.
"It accomplishes this by investing in four principle areas. First, we devote 23 percent or $11 billion of our $47 billion core budget to prevent conflict, foster economic security, and support fragile states. As we all know, this is a complex and interconnected and fast-changing world. We need the capacity to prevent conflicts and stabilize fragile states.
"For an example, this money funds development, humanitarian and military efforts in Yemen and Somalia. We're working to prevent these countries from becoming safe havens for terrorists. It supports intensive American diplomacy in Sudan, where the government peacefully accepted a vote many said would lead to war. And it sustains peacekeeping missions all over the world. And it funds non-war-related economic assistance to the frontline states of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
"Second, we spend 16 percent or approximately $7.4 billion of the $47 billion of our core budget to keep -- to support key allies and partners. This includes over $3 billion for Israel and a strong support for West Bank and Jordan. It funds support for nations recovering from conflicts like Liberia and emerging partners like Indonesia. It funds military-to-military partnerships in over 70 countries, and in Egypt, it gives us the funds to respond as situations evolve.
"Third, we invest 31 percent or approximately $14.6 billion of the $47 billion of our core budget to advance human security. We have targeted disease, hunger, and climate change. These challenges not only threaten the security of individuals across the world; they plant seeds for future conflict. We invest $8.7 billion in the global health programs. This includes money to fund treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS through the continued support of the Bush Administration's PEPFAR program. And it funds our fight against malaria and tuberculosis.
"We're investing over a billion one in food security, another cornerstone of global security, and $650 million to respond to climate change. These are two whole-of-government efforts against serious and growing threats. This budget also reflects $4 billion in humanitarian assistance for victims of war, refugees, and survivors of natural disasters.
"Fourth and finally, we spend 30 percent or approximately $14 billion of our $47 billion core budget to strengthen and sustain our diplomatic and development presence. We fly the flag at embassies and consulates in 190 countries. In each of these countries, we are serving Americans, advancing our security and promoting our economic interests. Our political officers work with foreign governments and monitor elections and promote democracies and human rights. Our economic officers open markets, promote U.S. exports, and champion American companies. Our development officers are improving lives and driving growth.
"And since taking this job, I've learned just how much our consular officers do to help the American people. Last year, they issued 14 million passports and assisted in 11,000 inter-country adoptions. And I was amazed to learn that they worked on over a thousand, 1,100 new child abduction cases, which actually helped to return 485 children to their parents. However, we remain severely understaffed, so we're asking for just a 1 percent increase in the State Department's Foreign Services officers."
Deputy Secretary Nides concluded, "...We recognize, as these are exceptionally tight times, with the resources outlined in this budget, the State Department and USAID can continue to protect our interests, project our values, promote growth, and above all, serve our national security."

UTT, J and GIGLIO, R. Technology comparison of CFB versus pulverized fuel firing for utility power generation. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2012, vol.112, n.6, pp.449-454. ISSN 2411-9717.
Recent developments in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) once-through supercritical technology (OTSC) have enabled this technology to be offered as a utility-scale alternative competing head-to-head with pulverized fuel (PF) OTSC offerings. One clear example is the CFB supercritical unit at the Łagisza Power Plant in Poland, owned by PoludniowyKoncernEnergetyczny SA (PKE). This unit has now been in commercial operation for three full years, exhibiting very good performance, and has validated Foster Wheeler's performance model at this utility scale as well as for units in the 600 MWe and 800 MWe size ranges offering net efficiency of ~43 per cent (LHV basis). This operating unit has also proven the use of the world's first FW/BENSON-vertical-tube OTSC low mass flux technology. Since the Lagjsza original international tender specified OTSC PF technology, it is important to note that the alternative selection of CFB OTSC technology over conventional PF technology is of historic significance, not only for the validation of the CFB supercritical platform as a viable alternative to conventional PF technology, but it also positions the CFB OTSC with fuel flexibility for offering of sizes up to and including 800 MWe units. This paper explores the differences between CFB OTSC technology and standard PF OTSC in utility power generation. Selection criteria, fuel burning range in both technologies, and other selection drivers are discussed. Economic analysis of both technologies, based on existing cases, is also provided. Also discussed are the technical advantages and uses of each technology. Foster Wheeler has recently been awarded a contract for four units of CFB OTSC technology, which utilizes a 2 on 1 configuration of two 550 MWe CFB OTSC boilers on two single 1000 MWe turbines. Essentially this provides a fuel-flexible low-emissions alternative to a 2 x 1000 MWe solid fuel power block.

When Bombardier Aerospace launched its newest from-the-ground-up midsize Learjet-now named the Learjet 85-the company's chief designers made two key decisions. The first, not announced until well after the launch, was that the structure-including wings, fuselage and tail-would be made of composite materials instead of the traditional aluminum used for most business jets.

Skip to comments.Doctors, doctors everywhere, but not a one to see you (under Obamacare exchange coverage)
Posted on 09/15/2013 2:46:45 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Death Panels by a thousand cuts.
No one could have seen this coming, no one.
From the L.A. Times, that hotbed of right-wing scare-tactics, Insurers limiting doctors, hospitals in health insurance market:
The doctor cant see you now.
Consumers may hear that a lot more often after getting health insurance under President Obamas Affordable Care Act.
To hold down premiums, major insurers in California have sharply limited the number of doctors and hospitals available to patients in the states new health insurance market opening Oct. 1.
New data reveal the extent of those cuts in California, a crucial test bed for the federal healthcare law.
These diminished medical networks are fueling growing concerns that many patients will still struggle to get care despite the nations biggest healthcare expansion in half a century.
Consumers could see long wait times, a scarcity of specialists and loss of a longtime doctor.
These narrow networks wont work because they cut off access for patients, said Dr. Richard Baker, executive director of the Urban Health Institute at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles. We dont want this to become a roadblock.
Welcome to the new normal.
Death Panels?
I will take, "guess who was right about Death Panels" for 100 Alex.
When Reagan was president, we had the Thompson Twins everywhere. It was a better time.
Earlier this week I asked my Internist if they [Internal Medicine Clinic] were expecting any major changes when Obamacare starts.
He replied that they were 'just waiting to see what they get hit with.'
I suspect a lot of small medical practices are waiting. The impact may not be felt for months — as those small practices get hit with new regulations and reporting requirements, etc.
I was going to have a five-month wait to again see a specialist ARNP. Then it turned out the receptionist made a mistake and the five months was for new patients. So now it is six weeks for me, which is a whole lot better but I wish it could be tomorrow. There are no covered physicians in the specialty anywhere in this area so an ARNP it is.
And is the Cali government selecting which doctors and hospitals will be available? Did they access some IRS files to see the political donations and voting records(?) of said doctors and hospitals to decided who would be allowed access to the ZeroCare $$?
You mean like they did to car dealerships when they took over GMC and Chrysler?
I think the next two months will see civil unrest in the streets as the cold slap of ObamaCare hits those with private healthcare plans at last.
OK, maybe not rioting, but tons of screaming and moaning from those who were heretofore Obama's Imperial Loyalists.
Doctor Who is no longer a show, it is a Response when go to the hospital and ask for one...
"I'd like a doctor to treat this wound"
"Doctor Who?"
I've said this over and over, but there are huge opportunities in this mess. Insurance companies have already opted out of the exchanges, so they will continue to offer policies that don't match 0bamacare's requirements, leaving their customers to pay a tax for the "right" to have the health insurance of their choice.
On the other hand, I'm certain there will be some doctors who refuse to see 0bamacare patients (just as some refuse Medicare now). Unlike Hillarycare, there is no penalty for a doctor seeing a patient outside of the government system.
If nothing else, there will be a million clinics along the border serving the needs of those who are within traveling distance.
Opportunities abound, folks.
Converted cruise and cargo ships offshore as hospital ships? Medical tourism in the Pacific, Central and South America?
Better dust off your old Red Cross manual to heel they self.
No one could have seen this coming, no one.
Well, except for people smart enough to have read about socialism in history books.
preventative medicine is key. be proactive. don't take stupid'risks.
Just like in every other country with socialized medicine.
Didn't see that one coming.
I hope to God you're right. But I'm afraid the public, outside of us Tea Party types, will just shrug their shoulders.
And the liberals will blame Republicans for the failure of socialized medicine.
Snailmail, email and call your Representative and Senators and tell them to remove funding for Obamacare from the coming Continuing Resolution.
Do this even if one or both are RATS. Now is the time to make a resounding impression.
Out beyond the 12 mile limit with well appointed crusiers to run the patients back and forth.
I expect this will be a growth industry.
As you note, border clinics. My projection was hospital ships... just like gambling ships that operate outside of state or federal limits. Another poster pointed out that Indian Reservations are exempt from many laws, as we've seen with casinos. It would be ironic if the depressed reservations became new enterprise centers. Why, just the other day, I read that the location of a new oil refinery was contemplated in a reservation. Why not medical clinics, too?
There are a whole lot of people who have no clue about anything regarding the fines or anything else about Obamacare. Most people work all day and catch a few mins of the local news and then watch a movie. They have no clue yet what is about to hit them and it will hit them all like a ton of bricks.
Excuse me a second. I think that is my free Obamaphone ringing again to let me know my free EBT Card has been refilled, or my free Section 8 Housing voucher is ready for pickup, along with my free public transportation passes, and my new free Medicaid ID. They say it won't be necessary for voting, though, so those wonderful people running the country up at Obama's Stash are keeping things very simple for us.
America! Is this a great country, or what!!??
When the state owned press reports that everything is wonderful individuals will think "I must be the only one who's unhappy."
The other benefit of Indians opening medical clinics - there are reservations scattered across the country. Even small ones in the East could find large customer bases. And the private medical care paid by gringos could subsidize decent medical care for Native Americans, versus the Native American health services today where they jokingly say not to get sick past March due to lack of funds.
And unlike building a refinery, medical practitioners could relocate to the reservations in a matter of weeks or months.
Excellent idea. Another irony would be the people who have suffered under the administration of the Indian Health Service (IHS) might be the salvation of the rest of us.
Someone did.
I believe the insurance companies decide that.
Many of the best doctors are approaching retirement age.

Now, I don't think fondly if it because I don't want what money I have to bust my ass for go to someone that doesn't work at all, or contribute to this nation, and worse live more comfortable than meedit here, I contradicted myself embarrassingly enough, I really don't care that others live more comfortable than me, It is the fact that their false sense of entitlement, clouds whatever judgement they expound on others thus making this society a less than savory place to live in.....all....., while they are not working.
But, believe it or not, more important to me, I don't want anyone's help. My family and I will make it on our own with out the assistance of anyone other than my GOD. We do this because we make a concerted effort to live within our means, and are proud of what we have accomplished and are appreciative beyond words for what we have been provided. If I need something and don't have the money for it, I sell something that has been provided to me, to make the expense affordable. I am not so attached to my tangible items that I will not part with them to make ends meet. So now that I spouted off about my personal opinion on this stuff bring on the flame throwers......

Now I don't pretend that I know all things governmental for one minute, and have made the disclaimer numerous times, that the info I write is a representation of what I have read and heard with momentary lapses into my opinions.
So I make the request again, please ....Anyone that has a grasp on the differences of this subject and/or the many others that have been touched upon in this thread.....please come forward with facts that are irrefutable so the masses can be officially informed and therefor educated.

I do understand about taxes go to programes for the public. That is what taxes are for. And I do understand that not everyone pays taxes. I would like to know how Obama made it worse than pre 2008. What policy Obama has implemented that would cause government to grow. It just seems to me that some people say Obama is the cause but not back it up.
Thank you toast for for your input. I'm not trying to be difficult here but this goes back to the original question. What has Obama done or hasn't done to deserve to be re-elected.

Not nesassarily my wants but wants for the people that do not have or can't afford coverage. I pay for my own coverage and the rates have more than doubled in the past 10 years. I have excellent coverage and glad I do.
What Obama wants is to force his idea of the ulimate healthcare for everybody at the cost to taxpayers.
If the people of this country had a work ethic and the manufacturing to keep people working I think you would see more bodies wanting to work as opposed to a handout.
The more bodies working could mean more people paying for and having healthcare coverage.
There will always be people that cannot work for health reasons and need to be cared for in one way or another but I'm sure there are alot of people out there that feel they are entitled to something for nothing.

So yes the question is "What has he done?" Nothing that I can tell and its time to take a different approach, in my very humble opinion.
Let it be known, if it isn't already painfully obvious, that I know as much as I need to to sound like I am full of caca. So, (like usual) in very interested in learning more about this so when asked I can form a more informed and better educated opinion.

I'm pretty sure it's written in the general rules somewhere that all dirty laundry must be aired in public. The Mods have been informed about this thread and they are seriously alarmed at the lack of douchbaggery lately.

"Observe my post count, not my first rodeo."
Ok. 11k + posts. Cool.
I have an orange cat that weighs 30 lbs, his name is Sunny.....and we can file that under "so what" too.
Now that we got all of that out of the way, I was trying to subtlety and nicely suggest moving what could potentially de-rail a great thread, to a p.m. platform. That's all.
My goal is not to twist anybody up on this thread. And yes I too can be vindictive if it calls for it, put prefer not to be.

Regulation- This administration has added a pile of new regulations on private business.
Financing- Billions spent (wasted) on green energy and bailouts, nothing but added burden on taxpayers.
Hiring- Paying more people to handle the new regulations and departments for failed policies.
And we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of Obamacare.
There are more things I would like to contribute to this thread but I'm too tired tonight.
Reading a few things the Obama supporters have said on this topic is just sad. You really have no idea who this man truly is or what he is trying to do to this country.
You could write a short novel on the justice department alone. Before even getting in to the economic policy.
On the original question, we are ALL worse off, even if you are making more money now. Rich, poor, doesn't matter. The dollar is getting you much less now and will only get worse.
As for unemployment numbers, if we would just go back to the method used when obama took office we are at 11%. But if the government doesn't like the results, just change the rules to suit your needs.

I'm sorry you (like most other obama supporters) want ME or STAN or someone else to do the work for YOU. Which is part of the problem with free loaders.
Yeah, I'm using you as an example. In the perfect world for the way our society should be ran if you wanted that knowledge and wanted the answer's (or if you wanted a nice house, money, nice cars, a good job, healthcare, etc) you'd get off your ass and you'd work for it. Instead you want me to go and find those policies and regulations and implementations that obama has pushed thru, is pushing thru, and conitnues to fight for in favor of the lazy people and the uneducated people who support and vote for him.
I don't know you, and I'm not attacking you personally, but you're displaying to me exactly what it is wrong with 99% of obama supporters.....

I voted obama last time around this time I will not. i feel that Ron Paul is the best answer to our country he reads documents to their literal meaning and doesn't twist them to suit his needs and he can back that with over 30 years of experience. ENOUGH POLITICAL BULL SHIT!!
so i just made it back on Monday from California with my new(to me) 1980 IH scout Traveler Diesel, does any one out there know where i can possibly find a junk yard around here with some old donors laying around. we drove it home so its reliable enough to go 2202mi with no major break downs but needs some TLC like any old truck. parts needed the most: turbo, air cleaner(box), heater core, and it'd be great to have a shop manual too. engine is an sd33-t, I do not know why the turbo was taken off or where it went to, the guy I bought it from never had a turbo on it either.

The American Automobile Association says almost half of all teens admit to texting while driving. California's SecuraFone claims that 11 teenagers die each day while trying to text and drive. The company is the maker of an app for iOS and Android that puts parents in the driver's seat even when kids have the keys.
SecuraFone uses a smartphone's GPS to detect when the user is moving at over 5 mph. The app then locks the phone screen until the speed returns to below 5 mph. (Presumably teens using the SecuraFone app could text at stoplights, or even take the app off their phone for a night and reload it before returning home.)
SecuraFone also enables parents to set up text alerts while their children are driving. The parent can request a text message if the car moves faster than a certain speed, or if the teen drives into or out of certain areas.
Users pay $8.99 a month for the above features. The free version of the SecuraFone app allows users to see their phone's location, and to enable the phone to call or text a certain number and report its location. SecuraFone is made by SecuraTrac, maker of the award-winning SecuraPal Guardian app for protecting children, and the LifeTrac Mobile Protector for keeping in touch with seniors.

Excellent Liquid Aloe product
Posted by NBPT100 on Apr 17, 2013
This is an excellent liquid aloe organic product. It is processed in such a way that it preserves the best features of aloe and removes the chemical that can give you very loose stools(aloin). This allows you to drink more of it and reap the healing benefits. If you have a serious digestive track problem with inflammation this may be what you need. It will not give you or add to any diarrhea you may be experiencing. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the high price. It is a unique product and I have yet to see something similar competing with it. I just wish iherb could negotiate a better discount from the MSRP. If you have a serious digestive track problem with inflammation this may be what you need. It will not give you or add to any diarrhea existing you may be experiencing. This product also has a variation of it that includes many anti viral and immune building herbs such as cats claw. That is also an excellent product that should be considered if you have a weak immune system or an infection going on.

The health of the Big 3 has been always been among the San Antonio Spurs top priorities. They knew they need their top dogs to be fresh and ready as possible once the playoffs roll around.
With coach Gregg Popovich juggling the lineup like a magician, while managing his stars minutes at the same time, that has been the case this season.
San Antonio holds a 2-0 series lead in their first-round series against the Utah Jazz, and will gun for a third straight post season victory, and 13th overall when they head to Salt Lake City for Game 3.
However, the Spurs expects a tougher Jazz squad with their home crowd at their side.

Nick Taylor, David Wagner win third straight Paralympic gold
Nick Taylor (left) and David Wagner won their third straight gold medal in the men's quad doubles competition at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The team has claimed each of the gold medals awarded since the event was added in 2004.
Highlighted by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, called the greatest Games ever by International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven, 2012 was a thrilling year for the Paralympic Movement in the United States and around the globe. Records were broken and legacies were made. From Dec. 20-31, USParalympics.org will unveil the Top 12 moments of 2012 for U.S. Paralympics in chronological order.
Nick Taylor was one serve down, 4-5, trying to stay in the second set of the gold medal match in the men's quad division at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Starting the service motion, he tossed the ball up – with his feet – and kept the United States in the hunt for gold.
"It's all I had," he explained. "I started playing tennis at 14 and it's what I've done from the beginning."
On Sept. 5, Taylor and doubles partner David Wagner (Hillsboro, Ore.) accomplished something no one has done before in wheelchair tennis when the duo won their third consecutive gold medal in the men's quad division. They defeated Great Britain's Peter Norfolk and Andy Laphorne in a thrilling three-set victory (6-2, 5-6, 6-2) for the three-peat.
Taylor, who lives in Wichita, Kan., is different than most who play this sport.
He was the only player on court using a power chair, not exactly a competitive advantage in tennis, yet his consistency proved to be the difference in the match, especially the third set.
Taylor was consistently in the right place at the right time setting up his partner to charge the net and win points up off sharp angle volleys. "He just has great anticipation," said Boaz Kramer, another player in the quad competition.
The smart shot selection earned the American pair the right to be called the most dominating quad doubles team the U.S. has ever seen. The two are as excited about this gold as their others.
"I think it feels just as good … and we appreciate it, because we have just something that no other Paralympic team has ever done," said Wagner. "So it's a true honor and to do that with Nick is truly awesome."
Taylor and Wagner are the only doubles team to win a Paralympic gold in the men's quad division, which was first included in the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games. In addition to their gold medal in doubles, Wagner took home a silver medal in the quad singles event and Taylor claimed the bronze.
Weeks after the conclusion of the action in London, Taylor and Wagner were named the United States Olympic Committee's Paralympic Team of the Year.
"It came as a total shock to me," said Wagner, a five-time Paralympic medalist. "I'm honored and feel privileged to say that we were able to be recognized for the hard work we put in and what we were able to accomplish."
"It's a huge honor for us," Taylor added. "Obviously we had a great run at the Paralympics, really for the last three Paralympics. I'm also proud not only (for) what it means to David and I, but to wheelchair tennis, and for that matter, even tennis. To be recognized by the USOC is awesome."
Jamie M. Blanchard and Paul D. Bowker contributed to this report.

I would like to publically thank Jason Boyle and Steve Miller of Kachemak Emergency Services, for showing us Voznesenka students how to use a fire extinguisher. It helped me a lot; I also learned a few good things about fire extinguishers, like always have a bigger extinguisher, (as people say "the bigger the better"). I hope you enjoyed this experience as much as I did. Thank you again.

Millersburg trailhead grand opening Friday
The official grand opening of the Millersburg Depot Regional Trailhead, located along the North Eastern State Trail, will take place at 2 p.m. on Friday in downtown Millersburg.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Presque Isle County, the Village of Millersburg and the Millersburg Area Historical Society shared resources to develop and maintain the trail for year-round enjoyment. Those attending can come by snowmobile, foot or car. Guests also can bring ice skates and enjoy the village ice rink located on-site, weather permitting.
"Depending on the season, the trailhead is a perfect spot for hikers, equestrians, bikers and snowmobilers to stop and rest along the trail," DNR Parks and Recreation Division Chief Ron Olson said. "It meets the goal of the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, which is to provide support to communities that want to offer residents and visitors quality recreation opportunities."
The Millersburg trailhead developed from a master planning process that began in 2004, when Millersburg was identified as a potential trailhead location. In 2012, the trailhead and local park facility were built. Funding provided from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Recreation Improvement Fund and the Recreation Trails Program made it possible.
The Michigan Snowmobile Association, Presque Isle Sno-Trails and the Top of Michigan Trails Council are sponsoring the grand opening event.
"I believe all our organizations support this project because we realize that this unique partnership is a model to help improve our trails year-round and provide modern amenities, all while improving the quality of life of local communities," Emily Meyerson, trail coordinator for the Top of Michigan Trails Council, said.
For details on the event, contact Top of Michigan Trails Council, 231-348-8280 or visit www.trailscouncil.org. To learn more about the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, visit www.michigan.gov/mnrtf.

Chocolate-Banana Filled Crepes
- Crepe Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Topping:
- 1 jar hazelnut chocolate spread
- 5 bananas, sliced
- 1 can whipping cream
Sift the flour with the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and egg yolk. Pour in the milk, slowly, stirring constantly and, when half is added, stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Beat well until smooth. Add the remaining milk, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before using. The batter should be the consistency of light cream. Heat a well greased 6-inch skillet. Add 1/4 cup batter. Tip skillet from side to side until batter covers bottom. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, turn and remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Spread a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread onto crepe and place banana slices down the center. Roll or fold crepe. Just before serving top with whipped cream.

Pacing Diana - Page 10
Diana would always comment that no matter how much planning you do for race day, after the start, forget the plans and just try to get on with things as best you can. The old truisms lie at your side, always within reach without having to look, but new obstacles appear, an opportunity for new lessons, a different education.
So it was with Hardrock 2010. The slog that was the last 20 miles—that was new. The year before Diana had run miles 98 through 100 at roughly the same pace the first two miles.
And there was this new obstacle: I could never have imagined that a day after the awards ceremony we would be at a hospital near our house, with Diana hooked up to an IV, getting blood tests every two hours. She looked so small she seemed to be dissolving slowly into the hospital bed.
Her kidneys "received quite a blow," said the first doctor. "Her blood is full of creatinine, and her kidneys are not processing anything. `Rhabdomyolysis,'" he said, "which is a toxic build up of garbage—in this case destroyed muscle tissue—in the blood."
I would not have thought that the following day we would be flying to the nearest renal center in Denver, on a Lifeflight plane with two flight nurses, Diana dwarfed by all the machinery she was hooked up to, dwarfed by the specially outfitted plane that allowed her to be monitored constantly. Dreamlike, we floated into Denver.
I would not have thought that her blood tests would become the most nourishing source of information to our day—the alphabet of science, her "numbers," her "chemistry," her CPK, her BUN, her K, her NALC, her H & H. I would not have thought that we would learn those truisms and verities that come with a loved one—my partner in life, adventure, everything, for 15 years—being in the hospital for an extended period; of talking to doctors, specialists, nurses, of bed pans and medications, of the constant hum and whir, the clacks of industrial doors, the sheen of solvents on those shiny floors, the words "fluids" or "catheter" or "dialyze" or "fistula," all those words and chemistry and numbers you don't want to deal with, but then one day you do, and that day turns into another, and another, until it seems like your whole life has been just this.
The parking garage under the hospital, the elevator, the renal ward, your spouse looking like herself but different, smaller, scared, still feisty. It was a new kind of Hardrock, a new kind of crewing. I was still a cheerleader, a shrink, a realist, a supporter, a pacer. The conversations with doctors about donor lists, transplant possibilities. I would not have thought these things would be the lessons of a 100-mile run.
She was in the hospital for 16 days. She received dialysis on that second day, at 2 a.m., an emergency, as her numbers kept getting worse. Without it, she would have died. Not to be dramatic. But it is true. The blood in her veins would have become so toxic it would have killed her.

With Danny Boyle at the helm, principal photography on the upcoming 127 Hours was anything but routine. The director wanted to shoot the harrowing true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston on location in Utah, using the tiny Silicon Imaging SI-2K cameras he employed on Slumdog Millionaire. That meant building a new digital workflow far from the comforts of Hollywood.

The legendary editor is sitting in the Midtown Manhattan office where she cut Scorsese's latest, his deeply felt spiritual epic about Jesuit priests in feudal Japan. Schoonmaker sits in between her monitors and those for Scorsese, added about a year ago so he could sit even closer to Schoonmaker while they worked. It makes for a jumble of screens, especially when the one devoted to Turner Classic movies is factored in. "This used to be quite a beautiful room," Schoonmaker says with only mild regret.

In short: A great event - challenging for first 5 miles but nice on the descent.Date of review: September 8, 2009
Date of review: September 2, 2009
In short: Uphill for 3 miles and then some!In full: There is a respite after 3 hard miles but still plenty of climbing to do to get to the summit at halfway point. And if that doesn't get you the sting in the tail at 8.5 miles certainly will! As long as you start the race knowing this it's a great course. Really well organised and well supported relative to number of runners.Date of review: September 2, 2009
In short: EnjoyableIn full: Fantastic stewards - I was ok on the hills and the downhill bit but the last up hill at around 9 miles was hard - I talker and finished with a nice man who just beat me and found on the results that he was over 70 ! Well done to him. No quicker than last year though at 1.40. Date of review: September 1, 2009
In short: Challenging, scenic, well-organised raceIn full: Pretty much uphill for the first three miles, with a particularly steep haul from 2-3, but not too bad if you've done your hill training! The views more than compensate for your hard work, as does the long downhill stretch. A well-organised race and friendly, encouraging marshals. Like the long-sleeved T-shirt too.Date of review: September 1, 2009
In short: Good race, good course, will recommend to anyoneDate of review: September 1, 2009
In short: Hard work going up but could fly down the hills. Fouund it very tough overall but enjoyable and well organised. Liked the long sleeved t-shirts for a change. Date of review: August 31, 2009
In short: Lots of club runners but plenty of room for on affiliates like myself.Date of review: August 31, 2009
In short: Challenging Start, but nice mix of up and down hillsDate of review: August 31, 2009
In short: Hard up and down hills.In full: If you want to do well you need to work up the hills and leave enough for some strong down hill running. Very well organised and will be there again next year.Date of review: August 31, 2009

Hundreds of students gathered for assembly saved from harm because of boy's actions
Pakistan is paying tribute to a 14-year-old hero who died while preventing a suicide bomber from entering his school.
Aitazaz Hassan Bangash and his cousin Musadiq Ali Bangash were on their way to Ibrahimzai School in a Shia dominated area of northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday, when a man raised their suspicions by asking them for directions while clad in school uniform.
"The other students backed off, but Aitazaz challenged the bomber and tried to catch him," Musadiq told CNN. "During the scuffle, the bomber panicked and detonated his bomb." Both died and two others were injured. Nearly 2,000 students were gathered for morning assembly at the time.
Pakistanis have been venting their outrage at Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ), the militant group that has claimed responsibility for the attack, and calling for the nation's highest military award for Aitazaz.
Aitazaz is survived by his parents and two sisters. His father, Mujahid Ali, has returned from his work in the United Arab Emirates not to mourn his son's death, he told the Express Tribune, but to celebrate his life.
"My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children."
