(Lucy Fielder/ IRIN BEIRUT, 1 October (IRIN) - Lebanon's tussling factions are headed for a stalemate, settlement, or war, and international actors as much as local ones will decide which, analysts say. The presidential vote which was to be held on 25 September was deferred until 23 October after lawmakers failed to find a consensus candidate. Opposition members of parliament (MPs) boycotted the vote, arguing that Lebanon's fragile sectarian political system requires a president agreeable to both camps. A two-month period of horse-trading is permitted by the constitution and analysts say that in Lebanon the immediate election of a president is historically rare. However, by 23 November, MPs must choose a successor to President Emile Lahoud, whose extension by a Syrian-influenced constitutional amendment three years ago plunged Lebanon into chaos.

(T. Charles Erickson) Email Print Text size By Louise Kennedy Globe Staff November 16, 2007 There's a fine line between staginess and theatricality, and it shifts with changing times and tastes. What struck an earlier audience as stark and powerful drama may leave us shaking our heads at its stereotypes and melodrama - just as, no doubt, some acclaimed works of our own time will come to seem like risible cliches. It's painful to report that these thoughts are provoked by the Huntington Theatre Company's staging of David Rabe's "Streamers," one of the play's few major revivals since its 1976 Broadway success. Painful because that earlier production clearly resonated with its audiences as a powerful antiwar statement, something theaters and audiences are longing to find right now; and painful because director Scott Ellis has assembled a fine cast of actors, who each create many thoughtfully developed and forcefully presented moments. Nevertheless, this play, in this production, at this time, simply does not work. It's meticulously constructed, both in its overall structure and in the rhythm of individual lines, and it's driven by an admirable sense of purpose: Though Rabe has differentiated it from his so-called Vietnam plays, including "The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel" and "Sticks and Bones," he clearly wants "Streamers" to leave us aghast at the ways in which war makes men crazy. The problem is that we just can't believe a word of it.

The presidential vote that was to be held on Sept. 25 was deferred until Oct. 23 after lawmakers failed to find a consensus candidate.

Napa Valley Register | The Tug Of War Over Stem Cell Research
The tug of war over stem cell research. By NATALIE HOFFMAN Register Staff Writer. Thursday, December 27, 2007. AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Extractions: Extensive research efforts are under way to find ways to use the promising cells â which can mature into a wide range of tissues and so may be useful in multiple treatments â in the Golden State and elsewhere. Although policy for stem cell research varies wildly from state to state, federal law remains firm. In 2001, President Bush freed up approximately $90 million of federal funds for stem cell research â but only for stem cell lines created before the statuteâs passage. While current law forbids the use of federal money for the creation of new stem cell lines, it does not disallow private or state monies for such research. Two attempts to change federal stem cell research law failed in recent years. Although two versions of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act passed in the House and Senate in 2005 and 2007, President Bush vetoed both bills, which would have elicited more federal funding and loosened restrictions for stem cell research.

Guests then got to tug on the rope. It happened in December, two days after a tiger escaped and at the San Francisco Zoo and killed a teenage boy. Animal behaviorist Louis Dorfman says playing tug of war with a lion eating meat does nothing more than taunt the animal. The Houston Zoo says it has let guests play this rare form of tug of war in a controlled setting for three years. But Ayala thinks the zoo should reconsider this type of treat. Though the lion acts submissive and was raised as a pet, Ayala and others worry, if provoked, the cat could act on animal instincts.

(You can either tape or draw a line on the ground, or just use a doorway.) The two players hold hands and try to pull each other across the line/through the doorway as their teammates cheer them on from either side.
Hoover Institution - Education Next - Tug Of War
The Left, the Right, and the struggle over civic education.
http://www.hoover.org/publications/ednext/3346656.html

Extractions: font-size: 300%; float: left; color: #000000; font-family: sabon,garamond,serif; What is civic virtue, and how does it relate to civic knowledge and civic skills? I define civic knowledge as an understanding of true facts and concepts about public affairs, such as the history, structure, and functions of government, the nature of democratic politics, and the ideals of citizenship. Civic skill is the ability to deploy knowledge in the pursuit of political goalsâactions such as voting, protesting, petitioning, and debating. Civic virtues integrate such knowledge and skill with proper civic motivations or attitudes, such as respect for the democratic process, love for the nation, and concern for the common good. Ideally, it would seem that civic education ought to promote appropriate virtues, not merely knowledge and skills, because without a virtuous motivation, knowledge and skills lack moral worth. After all, civic knowledge and skills routinely support all manner of immoral political conductâincluding the use of deception, manipulation, and coercionâall the way to a traitorous betrayal of the nation to its enemies. Yet if civic schooling attempts to inculcate civic virtue, it can lead to the subordination of knowledge to civic uplift. So it is best for public schools to focus on what they do best: the inculcation of knowledge and skills.

Extractions: Posted by Xeni Jardin, June 21, 2006 7:28 PM permalink Following up on previous posts ( one two ) on the blogtroversy surrounding podcast availability of PRI's much-beloved " This American Life " radio program, BB reader Chris Ladd says: I'm a big fan of BoingBoing, and a big fan of TAL. In fact, I used to work there. I was their intern. Now, being a BoingBoing reader and generally techy kind of guy, I hate DRM and extortionist content practices and all the rest of it. And, in fact, when I moved to Chicago last summer to work for the show, I spent much of the 20 hour drive listening to TAL episodes I AudioHijacked off of my real player. That being said, while lame, the way TAL deals with its downloads isn't greedy, and it's not their fault. Don't forget that they are primarily a radio show, one that is broadcast nationwide. As an additional service, they let you stream the show from their website for absolutely free. Which is nice, right? So why can't you take it with you? You have to understand that This American Life is produced differently than just about any other show on the radio. They get big names on there. They pay well. They score the whole show with great music. All of these things make it difficult to give away programs for free. Because all the different people who contribute to each show are entitled to a part of the CD sales, its in their contracts. As I understand it, there's some difference between streamed recordings and downloaded recordings that makes the lawyers go crazy. (Cory?) Also, there's some royalty thing with all the music used in the show.

Feature Over Memorial Day weekend, turned around an otherwise lackluster year for the film industry. Yet, just as the movie moguls basked in new triumph, they continued to sound alarms over how technology has increased the threat of piracy. The act arose in response to the case of Huntsman v. Soderbergh , which was filed in 2002 and is apparently still pending before the U.S. District Court for Colorado. The case involves technology companies that manufacture and market filtering technologies for consumers to eliminate objectionable content (violence, profanity, and nudity) from DVDs viewed at home. These technological devices, such as ClearPlay, alter what viewers see when they play a disc on a DVD player or DVD-ROM drive. Each software program corresponds to a specific DVD that has been reviewed by ClearPlay, and the filter instructs the player which film frames to mute or skip over without altering the content of the DVD. Such congressional support could be crucial if the movie industry has any hope of mitigating the effects of the May decision by the Court of Appeal for the D.C. Circuit in

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/combatdocs/tugofwar.html

Extractions: Life and Death in the War Zone homepage With their allegiance to both the Hippocratic oath and military guidelines sometimes in conflict, how do combat doctors decide whom to treat? The ethics behind whom American combat doctors should treat in a war zone is complicated. At its most challenging, it can leave physicians like myself and other military medical personnel feeling they're serving two masters: Hippocrates and Uncle Sam. The one calls for treating whomever needs our help; the other, through the agency of the armed forces, has restrictions on whom we can and cannot take under our care. In the end, I believe the battlefield doctor has a duty to a third master: him- or herself. For in the complex circumstances of a combat zone, decisions of how best to resolve this dichotomy between care-for-all and care-for-some should ultimately rest with each doctor. In my 20-plus years as a doctor in the military, I have served field units in the first Gulf War, the Balkans, and Turkey, and in February 2003 I deployed to the Gulf with the 10th Combat Support Hospital (CSH). It was during and after this deployment that the true intricacies of combat medical ethics really came home to me.
