...platform is an altar, the tinkly tune is praise music, and the practice is Christian yoga. Senarighi's class, called Yogadevotion and taught in the main chapel of St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, Minn., is part of a fast-growing movement that seeks to retool the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to fit Christ's teachings. From Phoenix, Ariz., to Pittsburgh, Pa., from Grand Rapids, Mich., to New York City, hundreds of Christian yoga classes are in session. A national association of Christian yoga teachers was started in July, and a slew of books and videos...
...road to confirmation, the Senators posing these questions and the pro-and-con activists packing the bleachers know the show is not just about him.

"It's just like Bangkok traffic in the mornings," says professor Nick White of Mahidol University in Bangkok, who led the study. "[Artesunate] reduces the traffic jam, which is what kills people." The study's results still need...

Arkansas National Guard and other military reserve units still use about 66,000 acres of largely vacant land from the post for exercises. The remaining 6,000 acres, which contained much of the installation's main facilities, were turned over to a municipal development authority to convert to a residential and business community...
...what got decided? The role of religion is settled-Islam will be the official religion of Iraq and it will be "a main source" of legislation rather than "the main source" of legislation, as many religious Shi'ites wanted. However, another article states that no laws passed may contradict Islam, which many fear will be used to establish a religious high court to vet legislation for Islamic consistency. This could be used to reduce the rights of Iraqi women, who enjoyed relatively liberal rights under Saddam's regime. Women's rights are an issue that U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad...
