Muhammad, a philosophy professor in Islamic faith at Jordan University, and Afghan physician and human rights activist Sima Samar.", "Though the institute considers Cordoba the front-runner, no single candidate has emerged as the clear-cut favorite, as sometimes happens, said Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the peace institute.", "\"It really is quite open this year,\" Harpviken said.", "This year's peace prize nominees include 172 people and 33 organizations.", "The committee does not release the names of the nominees.", "The 50-year-old peace institute, which is often called PRIO, has no
