Public forum on homeless set
The Jeffersonville-Clarksville Homelessness Task Force has scheduled its first public forum at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, in the council chambers at Jeffersonville City Hall, 500 Quartermaster Court.
The purpose of the forum is to discuss the issue of homelessness in the area and the public is invited to attend, according to a press release.
The task force was formed following the sweep of a homeless camp near exit 0 in late November. People living in the camp complained personal belongs were taken and they were not notified of the sweep. Jeffersonville suspended any additional sweeps to allow the task force to examine the policy.

Rotations PGY 1
First Postgraduate Year
Orientation Boston Medical Center
The psychiatry residents at Boston University Medical Center actively participate in intern orientation each year. Each new intern is assigned a resident "buddy" that becomes the point person for questions focused on the resident experience.
Orientation is focused on welcoming new psychiatry residents to Boston Medical Center and preparing them for the transition to residency. Boston Medical Center organizes a day long program for all incoming residents. Our program has a day of orientation for new residents to meet with the Program Director, Associate Program Director, Residency Coordinator and staff, Chief Residents, and residents. Upper year psychiatry residents coordinate various activities for new residents including information, facility tour, and social events.
Buddies: A current first year resident is assigned following the match as a buddy to the incoming residents. Contact information is shared prior to the official start date so that "buddies" can provide information about moving to Boston, recommended reading materials, and information regarding the internship year.
Psychiatry Rotations
Adult Inpatient Psychiatry-The Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Hospital (Bedford VA)
First-year residents have a two 8-week clinical experience in inpatient psychiatry. On the acute psychiatry ward, residents are responsible for clinical work and clinically-related presentations. Residents treat a variety of veterans with serious mental illness, PTSD, TBI, personality disorders, and dual diagnosis disorders. Supervision is provided daily and an educational core is devoted to geriatric psychiatry and inpatient psychopharmacology. Second-year residents work with first year residents taking on the role of supervising the weekly conference series for the service. One of the unusual strengths of the Bedford VA is its strong and widespread network including inpatient and outpatient hospital services, community-based programs, groups, and various supported and structured housing options. It is a national leader in milieu therapy that serve as a core principal of inpatient clinical care. The clinical staff responsible for resident training takes an active interest in maintaining inpatient and a range of systems of care and the professional and personal interactions necessary to allow these facilities and resources to continue to adjust to a changing and growing population of veterans. This rotation at the provide an introduction not only to individual care in inpatient psychiatry and milieu therapy but exposure to network models of care and systems issues that are increasingly regarded as critical to medical training and clinical competence. An educational curriculum includes a lecture series in geriatric psychiatry and inpatient psychopharmacology, journal club, psychiatric interviewing, and case based teaching in addition to daily bedside supervision.
Adult Inpatient Psychiatry-Bournewood Hospital
This rotation is one of two inpatient psychiatry rotations that teaches residents to evaluate, diagnose, and treat complex psychiatrically ill patients. First year residents have an 8 week inpatient psychiatry rotation at this private psychiatric hospital located in Brookline about 5 miles from the Boston University Medical Campus. As a private hospital with a varied patient population, both diagnostically and socioeconomically, residents experience the business side of psychiatry and prepare for learning how to negotiate the complex world of insurance. Advocacy skills to ensure the best care for patients are part of learning to negotiate with managed care companies. In addition, residents learn psychopharmacology for many psychiatric disorders including psychotic and mood disorders, as well as, the management of patients with dual diagnoses, substance use disorders, and personality disorders. Residents have the opportunity to be involved in court commitments for their patients. Educational seminars include a Chief Resident Journal Club and lecture series. This experience is coupled with a weekly course aimed at honing interview skills in a board style interview taught by the Program Director.
BEST Emergency Psychiatry Boston Medical Center
Psychiatry Buddy Call
Medicine and Neurology
Internal Medicine-Boston Medical Center
First year residents rotate with Internal Medicine residents for two 4 week and one 3 week rotations. Psychiatry residents on medicine function as an Internal Medicine intern as part of a medical team composed of a senior resident, chief resident and attending to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with serious medical illnesses.

By LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — CROWN POINT — A lawsuit filed by two Crown Point Board of Assessment Review members, whose appointments were rescinded by the new supervisor, has been decided in the town's favor.
Acting State Supreme Court Justice Richard Meyer ruled that Glenn Russell and Ronald Clarke didn't take their oaths of office for the Town Board of Assessment Review within the required 30 days of being appointed, so their posts were legally vacant.
The Town Council had named Joseph Duval and Douglas Woods to take their places, and those appointments will now stand.
Russell and Clarke had been appointed by the outgoing town supervisor, Bethany Kosmider, in 2011.
But when newly elected Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington came into office last year he made a successful motion to invalidate the appointments of Russell and Clarke.
Evidence was introduced in State Supreme Court of Essex County that no one, including longtime members, could ever remember taking an oath of office for the Board of Assessment Review within 30 days.
But Meyer said state law was still clear that the oaths had to be taken.
"While it may well be that all members of the Board of Assessment Review do not legally hold office because they did not take and file their respective oaths of office within the 30 days required by the Public Officers Law, that issue is not before the court," Meyer wrote.
The attorney for Russell and Clarke, Dominick Viscardi of Ticonderoga, said he will file an appeal of the decision to the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in Albany.
"It was a purely discretionary enforcement (of the Public Officers Law) by the town. The town knew full well the process."
Harrington, however, said said the town's actions have been vindicated by Meyer.
"It was so very evident from the start that the prevailing issue was the failure of Russell and Clarke to take their oaths with a 30-day window from the day of appointment. New York state law is specific in regards to that."
The supervisor said Crown Point's legal bills so far have totaled $7,208. The town is represented by attorney Cathi Radner of Glens Falls.
"The petitioners may file an appeal, but there would be a significant additional expense (to the town) before that appeal goes forward," Harrington said.
He said that, in the past, the town has always advertised openings on its boards but hadn't done that when Russell and Clarke were appointed.
"The town had a process for maintaining a Board of Assessment Review that had been established for over 100 years. As a result of this suit, the established process will be maintained."
The Board of Assessment Review hears cases in which property owners dispute the value placed on homes and businesses by the town assessor for taxation purposes.
The board has the authority to change the assessment if it finds there is cause to do so.

Yudof has led the 10-campus University of California system through a dramatic period of budget cuts and tuition hikes but also of widening financial aid and solid academic reputation. A constitutional scholar with a sardonic wit and a fondness for Tex-Mex food, Yudof recently announced he will step down in August and become a law professor at UC Berkeley. He cited gallbladder surgery and a broken arm over the last year or so and said it was a good time to leave since UC would be financially stronger with extra tax revenue approved by California voters in November.

Lebanon —
Ensuring Boone County's residents and businesses have an adequate water supply 50 years from now is one objective of a study committee that now has 100 percent participation from county and municipal governments.
Advance, Boone County, Jamestown, Lebanon, Thorntown, Whitestown, Zionsville and Citizens' Water in Indianapolis are sharing the cost of the Boone County Interlocal Water Study Committee, Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis said Tuesday, Jan. 29. The final opening was filled when the Boone County Commissioners on Jan. 21 approved signing the agreement. The county has budgeted $25,000 for the project, with an initial invoice of $10,000.
"In a nutshell, we don't have water shortages now," Lewis said. "We're looking into the future."
The study will examine the county's water requirements for the next 20 to 50 years, Lewis said. "We believe at some point in time, and it won't be anytime soon, water is going to be in short supply, so we have to prepare for it now."
Organizing the committee has taken him and Lebanon Utilities General Manager Mike Martin two years, Lewis said.
Just less than $68,000 has been committed by the committee's member groups for the study, to be done by Butler, Fairman and Seufert, Martin told the Lebanon Board of Works and Public Safety Monday, Jan. 28.
The first step is to determine the existing water supply and demand in Boone County, an estimate of supply and demand 10 to 20 years from now, the likely cost of the infrastructure to bring the supply to the demand, and ways to pay for those expenses, Martin said.
Information gathered by the water study committee could mean savings for participants.

Developers want to build the biggest bottling plant in all of North America in the pint-sized city of Anacortes. Tethys Enterprises wants to start bottling beverages in a 1-million-square-foot facility along a salmon estuary near Stevenson and Reservation Roads.
Workers would also manufacture plastic bottles, and increase the number of trucks and trains through town.
"We have a lot of unanswered questions pertaining to the environment and the impact this would have," said Sandra Spargo, who organized a group called Defending Water in the Skagit River Basin.
The plant would also use 5 million gallons of water per day. That's just 2 percent of the city's supply, but Anacortes is expected to grow by 100,000 people over the next 50 years, and climate change could make water issues very different by then.
"It could be looked at as a drop in the bucket," Spargo said. "But we need long term planning for our water."
Developers, however, compare their vision of bottling in Anacortes to Boeing in Everett. They foresee the city as a national hub for the industry, attracting upwards of 1,500 family-wage jobs, about 500 of which would be at the plant.
"We expect to attract a large supplier base to the area for ingredient and material providers as well as equipment and services," said Tethys CEO Steve Winters.
"If we wanted that, we'd live in Everett," fired back Spargo.
She downplays the development, and the $580,000 in annual tax revenue for the city. She worries about her quality of life. The proposed plant would be built just across Highway 20 from a massive oil refinery.
"I am a strong believer is corporate citizenship," she said. "There is no vision for the future of the people or environment, here."
She believes the thirst for jobs right now might leave the people of Anacortes dry in the future.
In an e-mail from Europe, Winter told KING 5, "This plant will be the most environmentally advanced in the nation. We will do all within our power to eliminate any perceived impact, and in the process, contribute to improvements in the habitat."

PFW examines the Chiefs as they prepare for the playoffs, identifying the keys to the offense and the defense, a player to watch, and what they have to do to win the Super Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs
10-6 / First place in AFC West
Keys to offense: For the Chiefs, moving the ball starts with establishing the run. Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones form possibly the league's best backfield tandem, and they have had K.C.'s rushing attack ranked No. 1 for most of 2010. Not surprisingly, the Chiefs were 0-5 when failing to rush for 120 yards. In the passing game, QB Matt Cassel has taken a major step forward this year and needs to continue keeping his mistakes to a minimum. And if they need a big play, it will be up to Pro Bowl WR Dwayne Bowe, who has dominated at times, to make a key grab. An unheralded offensive line also will have to perform at a high level.
Keys to defense: One of the NFL's more improved defenses under Romeo Crennel, the Chiefs must do two things well to succeed in the postseason: stop the run and pressure the passer. K.C. has been up and down against opposing running backs this season, as the defensive line has had its issues. ILB Derrick Johnson has been a tackling machine and will have to keep ballcarriers in front of him. The Chiefs also need sack artist Tamba Hali to wreak havoc on QBs, not allowing them time to throw downfield against two rookie safeties. And it wouldn't hurt if emerging CB Brandon Flowers continued his shut-down ways.
Player to watch: Cassel posted an impressive 27-7 TD-interception ratio this season, but this will be his first playoff experience. If teams are able to shut down Kansas City's running game, will Cassel be able to put the offense on his back and make plays with his arm? Now healthy following an emergency appendectomy, the signalcaller's ability to handle adversity could be the difference between the Chiefs making a postseason run or exiting early.
They'll win the Super Bowl if ... the running game can get into a rhythm and control the clock and the defense gets after the QB and creates turnovers. They'll also need to win on the road, something they have struggled to do.

Clinical/Scientific Implications
RCTs are large and expensive studies that represent the basis of clinical management of patients. Unfortunately, very few RCTs are positive and promising results from P2Ts are not predictive of a successful RCT. This analysis was conducted to evaluate whether promising results of P2Ts can be reproduced in randomized phase 3 trials (P3Ts) and to determine which P2Ts characteristics can predict success of P3Ts. Less than half of RCTs were preceeded by a P2Ts with the same regimen and patient population. Only 20% of RCTs were positive and the RR of RCTs is lower that the RR in the preceding P2T. The number of patients in P2Ts was the only statistically significant predictor of a positive RCTs. This study did not include trials conducted in patients with hematologic malignancies, only studies published in the English language were included and unpublished RCTs were not included. A careful analysis of P2Ts is crucial prior to designing RCTs and future P2Ts should include adequate number of patients. Additionally, randomized P2Ts may provide a more efficient trial design.

Posted Thursday, August 18, 2011 --- 8:50 a.m.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Health officials say two children and a young adult have died this summer from a microscopic amoeba that lives in water.
Most cases of the rare infection are caught while swimming in lakes or ponds. But Louisiana officials linked the June death of a young man to the tap water he used to flush out his sinuses.
This month, a 16-year-old Florida teen fell ill after swimming and a 9-year-old Virginia boy died a week after he went to a fishing day camp.
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say about 120 U.S. cases have been reported since the amoeba was identified in the early 1960s. About three deaths are reported each year, on average. The amoeba goes up the nose and burrows up into the skull.

I do. Two simple words with a very strong meaning. Everyone has said, "I do." I do read the paper. I do go to church. I do want to have another slice of pizza. Many have even said, "I do," before God and witnesses. However, few are fortunate enough to say, "I do" and, 72 years later, celebrate the meaning of the words. James Edward Barker and Laurie Beatrice Guill Barker - better known as Tina - recently reached that milestone.
Tina recalled their days of courting and their wedding day with a tear in her eye.
"James came to the house to see me. We didn't go anywhere, just my mama and daddy's house. When we got married, we got married with another couple and waited all day to do it."
James and Tina have shared a lot in their marriage. They started out with "nothing" as James said.
"Nothing at all," he repeated.
Over the years, they became the parents to Jimmy and Teddy and grandparents to Tracey, Timmy, David, and Chris.
They attended Fork Baptist Church in Scottsburg. James worked on the tobacco market and farmed with Tina by his side.
As far as having Tina by his side, that has not changed for James. When James was unable to stay at home, the family chose Seasons at The Woodview to be his new home. Tina soon followed behind to be with her husband.
"I could not be away from my sweetie pie, "she said.
The couple loves to sing and can often be heard singing to pass the time or settle an argument.
According to Tina, long and successful marriages are based on love, forgiveness, determination, and respect and need some give and take and lots of laughter.
Of all the blessings the couple has shared over the years, there was one thing missing; they had never had a wedding reception.
On the occasion of their 72nd anniversary, the Seasons staff remedied that situation. Invitations were sent to family and friends, Seasons was decorated with yellow roses, bows, and pictures of the couple's life together, and the staff hosted an old fashioned wedding reception complete with fried chicken, potato salad and all the trimmings.
To top the night off, the couple was presented a traditional wedding cake which they cut and fed to each other, just like newlyweds.
"Something I never thought that I would do," said Tina.
Seventy-two years. Imagine, dream, and hope that we are all so blessed.

With both party conventions over and the candidates' bounces having largely subsided, the latest national polls utilizing live callers put President Obama ahead of Mitt Romney by somewhere between 1 percentage point (ABC News/Washington Post) and 6 percentage points (CNN). The Gallup and CBS/New York Times polls have Obama's advantage at 3 points, while Democracy Corps and Fox News put it at 5 points. Private polling on both sides pegs the Obama lead at perhaps 4 or 5 points. The live-caller differential is important because interactive voice-response, or IVR, surveys (so-called "robo polls") are legally prohibited from calling cell phones; between 30 and 40 percent of voters are now exclusively or primarily served by cell phones. Those polls utilizing cell-phone-only voters reach a constituency disproportionately younger and more likely to be minorities, thus the distinction between IVR and polls by live callers is very important.
Interestingly, among these six polls, the narrowest (ABC/Washington Post) and the widest Obama margins were the two that were conducted soonest after the Democratic convention. Gallup at one point soon after Democrats left Charlotte had Obama up by 7 points, but that lead gradually narrowed and seems to have stabilized at 3 points, 48 to 45 percent for Oct. 10-16. It is the one remaining poll of the group still looking at registered voters; the rest have begun focusing on likely voters. At some point in the next few weeks Gallup is expected to begin reporting trial heats both for all voters and from among the likely-voter subgroup. Some on the GOP side say Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as his running mate gained the ticket about 2 points, but the combined effect of the conventions negated the gain, putting the Romney campaign back in the position of being down by 4 or 5 points.
Contrary to what you might read might on the blogosphere, there is very little disagreement between top Democratic and Republican pollsters on where this race is right now, either on the national level or, more importantly, in the swing states. Keep in mind that there are multiple pollsters involved in each of the swing states: a presidential campaign on each side, one or more super PACs with their own pollsters, plus others done for senatorial and gubernatorial races (and their national party campaign committees) or for ballot initiatives. So there is a whole layer of very expensive, high-quality polling in this race, most of which never sees the light of day. But some pollsters or the strategists who commission such polls will agree to characterize the polling in a race on an off-the-record basis, giving, say, a 2- or 3-point range of what their data shows. Among the broadly defined 11 battleground states, Romney is best situated in North Carolina, where the Elon University poll put him ahead by 4 points at the tail end of the Republican convention. More recent private polling is said to be very close, but insiders on both sides expect it will ultimately end up in the Romney column. New Hampshire seems to be about even, give or take a percentage point. Virginia and Wisconsin are the states with the narrowest Obama leads (he is ahead by between 2 and 4 points), while Obama is thought to be up by between 2 and 5 points in Florida and Nevada. Next comes Iowa and Colorado; the Hawkeye State apparently has Obama ahead by between 3 and 6 points, Colorado between 4 and 6 points. Then come the big-ticket items: Obama ahead by between 5 and 8 points in Ohio, by 6 or more in Michigan, and the high single digits in Pennsylvania.
Obviously there are dozens of permutations in the calculus for a Romney path to victory, but as long as Michigan and Pennsylvania are noncompetitive and Ohio continues to look tough for Romney, he would have to come pretty close to running the table to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Obama winning Colorado, Iowa, and Nevada would put 276 electoral votes in the Democratic column—six more than necessary for a win—even if Romney carried North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Florida. At this point Romney is only ahead in one, tied in another, and trailing in the other three.
This election is still quite close and could go either way, but Romney badly needs something to happen to change the trajectory of this race. If things remain as they are today, he loses. Presidential debates are scheduled for Oct. 3, 16, and 22. A vice presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 11, and unemployment numbers are released on Oct. 5 and Nov. 2. These are six events that could prove consequential. Though debates arguably have changed campaign trajectories in 1976 and 1980, in the last seven presidential elections they didn't materially affect the outcome of the races. Obviously, candidate gaffes or campaign miscues outside the debates can matter as well as external events, domestic or foreign. Anything involving an attack by Israel and/or the United States against Iranian nuclear facilities would certainly create an "all bets are off" situation. Major incidents elsewhere in the Middle East or around the globe—for example, North Korea—could be consequential as well.
Kantar Media's CMAG recently reported that "this campaign is very developed with few undecided voters in swing states," pointing to levels of advertising in sample swing-state markets running anywhere from three to 12 times higher than in 2004 or 2008. In one sample week before the conventions, Aug. 15-22, Columbus, Ohio, saw 1,842 presidential ads, three times the 608 ads run in that same week in 2004. Las Vegas voters endured 2,870, three times more than the 867 in 2004, and Orlando saw 1,863 ads, 12 times the 153 ads from that week in 2008.
Adding in the non-presidential campaign ads, CMAG found that as of early September there have been 1.3 million "ad occurrences for all political advertising on local spot TV," compared with 832,291 at the same point in 2008. CMAG estimates that there will be about 43,000 ads run every day through the election.
If you buy the theory that anyone in a swing state who is still undecided is pretty unlikely to vote, that means that this election becomes pretty much a ground game, coming down to who can get their folks out. It is absolutely impossible to gauge at this point the relative effectiveness of the Obama and Romney campaign operations and their respective party apparatus. At the suggestion of Cook Political Report House Editor David Wasserman, I counted up the state headquarters and field offices for the two campaigns, with the RNC Victory offices counted in the Romney totals. Clearly this is a crude instrument of estimating effort, but in those 11 swing states, the Obama campaign has 526 offices while the Romney campaign and RNC Victory offices total 251. In Colorado, Obama has 55 and Romney 14; it's Obama 80 and Romney 47 in Florida. In Iowa it's 65 for Obama and 14 for Romney. Michigan is the one state where there are more Romney than Obama offices (23 to 20). In Nevada, it's 25 for Obama and 11 for Romney. Obama also holds the edge in New Hampshire (22 to eight), North Carolina (49 to 24), and Ohio (79 to 37). Pennsylvania has 39 Obama and 19 Romney outposts, Virginia has 40 for Obama and 30 for Romney, while in Wisconsin the advantage is for Obama is 52 to 24. This may or may not be a fair way to measure field activity, but I certainly can't think of any other way to quantify it at this stage.
My advice is to get up every morning and look at the front page and ask yourself, "Do I see anything here that will change the trajectory of this race in a meaningful way that would help Mitt Romney?" Each evening, watch one or more of the three broadcast network evening news programs and ask the same question. If the answer is no both times, then look again the next day and on through the election. But with the saturation levels of advertising that has existed for months and the diminishing numbers of undecided voters, it is increasingly likely that it will take a significant event rather than the normal daily ebb and flow of politics to change the outcome here.

The Hospitality of Being a "Guest House"
Parker Palmer offers a light-hearted vignette on the unexpected visitor and welcoming her in — all by way of a metaphor by Rumi.
Rumi's mystical poetry often helps me regain perspective on life. In this poem, I love his notion that being human is like being a "guest house." Unexpected visitors occasionally show up and stay for a while, including some you'd really like to throw out!
Welcoming them and learning what they may have to teach you, or where they may lead you, isn't always easy. But in my experience, it always pays off — if for no other reason than it hastens the day of their departure!
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Add Your Reflection
The following is a piece I
The following is a piece I wrote some time ago about showing hospitality toward our own emotions. It's a reflection on my experience with a young man with a speech disorder that made it hard for him to communicate. Rumi's poem has meant a lot to me, and the young man's experience opened my heart to the poem's message.
To Welcome the Tears and Not Be Afraid
There are days when Todd cries without any apparent discernible reason. It's different than the times when he cries because his head hurts or because he's anxious about a test at school or because he's mad at someone. We can ask questions, get answers, suggest solutions, and help him return to his usual state of happy when the tears have words. Other days when he cries, he's inconsolable. His tears seem to come from a primal place deep within him, an expression of something that no improvement in his cognitive capacity or speech function would ever give voice to.
When the inconsolable tears come, we don't urge him to talk. We give him space, let him cry without the burden of a lot of questions and the need to comfort us by giving us an explanation for the way he feels. He could never express it, but he has a way of making sense of it himself. It never lasts long, a few hours at most. Our first clue that it's over is the blaring stereo from his room. He sings along at the top of his voice, dancing wildly to the music's beat. The tears are his sackcloth and ashes. His dance is ritual, a way of marking the end of his sadness. The music bathes him in joy, washing away the darkness of the longings and loss expressed in his tears. Whatever it is that births the tears gives way to a contentment and joy that is equally devoid of explanation.
I don't know what it means for him. There's always a temptation to put words to his experience. His speech disorder invites that kind of power-over response. We work hard to understand the ways in which he does communicate with us, but there is a fine line between understanding and interpreting. All too often, I fear, I cross that line. I hate that it takes away what little voice he has.
I don't try to interpret the meaning of his inconsolability because I believe there is much about his life that it is painful and for which there is nothing that brings comfort. The space to cry affirms his sense of anger and outrage, of despair and longing that comes from being made fun of or ignored because he's different or from wanting something more out of life. The emotions proclaim loudly that he deserves better. I believe he needs to hear their message.
While I don't want to interpret his experience, reflecting on it has become a window on my own life, making visible the depth of sadness and anger that I sometimes feel with or without explanation. The weeping comes and I can't explain it. It scares me. I'm afraid if I welcome it, it will never leave. I fear its power and worry that it will consume me.
Todd has taught me to practice hospitality toward my own emotions. I'm learning to welcome the sadness and anger when they come, even when I can't directly connect the feelings to a specific experience. I think the tears that come from a deep place in my soul are planted by the winds of a spirit that connects me to the universe, to the generations that have come before me, to a world that groans with the pain and suffering we cause for ourselves and others. They play the part of prophet, a messenger of God naming my brokenness. They speak of what's not right and demand justice.
I still fight sadness and anger when they show up, but I'm learning to welcome them as trusted friends in my life. I don't always like what they tell me. But when I listen, they speak truth and bring healing. They don't stay forever, and when they do go, I find that they've left gifts. Peace and strength take up residence in their place, giving me freedom to embrace all that is good, to enjoy God, to celebrate this human life.

I'm in health care and work
I'm in health care and work as a pain specialist. Every day in the morning before beginning my patient interactions I read and reflect on Rumi's Guest house. Its a ritual that has helped me gain clarity and approach my day with compassion towards self and towards my interactions with others for the day. A poem that came to me from these reflections:
"May I Remember This..."
May I remember this for you,
with you,
but may I know that I can never carry any, for you.
May I be moved yet resilient,
for our collective struggles,
May we discover that curiosity,
That lost trail that rejuvenates every time...
May I be the rock,
timeless and enduring at once,
May I learn in that silence, that we breathe reassured...
May I be the canvas,
to paint, spill and pour,
May I also be there when it peels off and withers away...
May I be the sieve,
to filter, sort and reflect
May I see it different but never know more or know better.
May I have a moment of light,
That I share with you in privilege...
That sense of familiar with you,
a stranger,
That makes it all worth at once, for ever...
May be it would be a scavenger hunt,
I with a list and you discover,
May we find all that we are looking for...
And as we part,
With our shades on,
May I know that humbling truth
That the honor has always been mine - to nurture and to grow,
In those moment of light, darkness and rainbows...
To tell in brief a story I
To tell in brief a story I tell at length in "Let Your Life Speak," a therapist once said to me: "You seem to image depression as the hand of an enemy trying to crush you. Might it be possible to image it as the hand of a friend trying to 'press you down' to ground on which it's safe to stand?" It took time, of course, but that way of thinking about the kind of depression I had—and not all depressions are the same—helped me receive it and learn from it in the spirit of Rumi's poem...

Bordeaux 1990 and 2000 compared
The Wine Society plundered its famously useful Stevenage cellars (see our recently updated wine storage survey ) to provide 250 of its members with a look at the five left bank first growths from a pair of top notch vintages 10 years apart, 2000 and 1990. At £195 a ticket, including excellent service at Merchant Taylors' Hall in the City (though only ISO glasses) it was a bargain – as you can see from the approximate prices per bottle given in italics for each wine below. Alas, now that first growth prices are truly silly, at hundreds and almost into the thousand pounds per bottle, it is only at events such as...

Winner of the 2012 Coretta Scott King (Author) award and Honor book for the 2012 Coretta Scott King (Illustrator) award.
My first thought when I finished Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans was that it would win an award. This oversize book is stunningly beautiful with 47 oil paintings richly illustrating the trials and triumphs of African Americans in the United States from Colonial days to the present. The book offers a timeline that starts in 1565 and ends in January 2009. There are twevle chapters written by an unnamed female voice. The feel of the writing is like an elder member telling stories to the young children in the family, stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. The narrator takes us through historical events that changed the lives of African-Americans in the United States from slavery, reconstruction, the great migration, to World War II, inventions and Civil Rights. The events are presented in a simple and concise way that assures understanding of the events; truly an inspiring read and an excellent choice to share during African American History month.

NEW YORK — Stock indexes closed lower Thursday, a third straight decline, after U.S. retailers issued weak forecasts for earnings and more people filed claims for unemployment benefits.
Wal-Mart, Ross Stores and Limited Brands, the owner of Victoria's Secret, all fell after issuing forecasts that disappointed financial analysts. Wal-Mart fell $2.59, or 3.6 percent, to $68.72.
The Dow Jones industrial average wavered between small gains and losses shortly after the opening bell, then moved lower at midmorning. It closed down 28.57 points at 12,542.38.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 2.16 points to 1,353.33 and the Nasdaq composite finished 9.87 points lower at 2,836.94.
Stocks have fallen steadily since voters returned President Barack Obama and a divided Congress to power. The Dow has lost 5 percent from Election Day, Nov. 6.
Investors are worried that U.S. leaders may not reach a deal before tax increases and government spending cuts take effect Jan. 1. The impact would total $700 billion for 2013 and could send the country back into recession.
Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group in Philadelphia, said the bargaining in Washington would likely drag on until next year, weighing on stocks. "It's hard to see the market getting a whole ton of traction until that gets settled."
President Obama will meet with congressional leaders today to talk about the budget, but he appeared to suggest Thursday that he would insist on an increase in tax rates for the wealthy.

The Obama administration is battling one leak after another, and one could lead to criminal charges against a retired four-star general.
What we're seeing this morning is a number of different approaches to go after national security leaks. The latest leak investigation reaches very close to the White House, Fox News correspondent Doug Luzader reported.
The man once called President Barack Obama's favorite general, the retired James Cartwright, is now suspected of leaking secrets about a stealthy computer virus used to damage Iran's nuclear program back in 2010. It's an investigation first reported by NBC News and the Washington Post and confirmed by Fox News.
It comes as the White House has come under increasing fire over leak cases.
Attorney General Eric Holder is heading to Capitol Hill on Friday for a closed-door meeting to explain the controversial targeting and surveillance of Fox News correspondent James Rosen over leaks involving North Korea.
And Eric Snowden, the NSA leaker, remains holed up in a Moscow airport after both Russian and Chinese officials have refused U.S. requests to nab him.
After administration officials and members of Congress spent weeks bemoaning Snowden's leaks about U.S. surveillance programs and warning of dire consequences, now the president is playing it down.
"No, I'm not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker," Obama said during a news conference held during his ongoing visit to Africa.
It may an acknowledgment that the u-s is not likely to prevail in a standoff with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Not a lot of face to safe. I don't know why he's talking in public, though, the way he would speak to his wife at the dinner table," said A. B. Stoddard, associate editor and columnist for TheHill.com. "I mean, it was a very un-presidential, very flip response about a serious matter. It is by no means a routine law enforcement issue."
But what we're seeing may largely be a face-saving effort on the part of the president, recognizing a reality that both China and Russia are unlikely to cooperate, Luzader reported.
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds
Refreshing Forecast
Wednesday will feature another comfortable day with below average temperatures and low humidity. Highs in the upper 70s/Low 80s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds.

I am using gcc compiler in linux can anybody mail me in detail what libraries are needed in the linux executable programs and how the libraries in the linux are dynamically loaded. if possible can any one mail me source code for this.
thanks & regards
process to execute the arm program
i m not not getting the compilation for arm program ,please tell me how we select the path and which file we include in this,
please tell the total commands to run program in linux redhat8.0.

than i get the message
arm-elf-as: no such file or directory
please help me...
thanking u in advance
Dynamic Loader
I am trying to develop a Dynamic Loader for elf format shared libraries.I would like to know whether a function which is defined in an application say app.out can be called in a shared object file.If yes, How can it be done.
how to convert a.out to a flat binary file
hi friends
i am trying to convert a.out(or we can say "executable") into a flat binary file. so that i can load it into a floppy and run it with out any operating system.

As a link is missing to the next part - Part 2 : The ELF Object File Format by Dissection
Hi everyone,
I am trying to use 'gcc-elf' but its not reconizing the command. Does anyone know what files I'm missing and where I can obtain them..thanks
Ex. gcc-elf -dr foo.c -> to generate ir(or rtl) using elf format
dude, just use gcc today -
dude, just use gcc today - gcc-elf is what he was using when Linux was still using a.out. So, in that article, he would've been using:
'gcc' - a.out
'gcc-elf' - ELF binary
This outstanding article is
This outstanding article is continuing to benefit mankind even 11 years after its submission.
I was able to do minimal elf file walkthrough using a C program based on concepts learnt from Eric's articles.
Thank you so much Eric for doing this for us.
Kind Regards,
Very useful even after 12
Very useful even after 12 years, and will remain so till we have elf ;;)

Just one Word to descirbe
Just one Word to descirbe this article : FANTASTIC !!!!
Re: Kernel Korner: The ELF Object File Format: Introduction
concise & clear
Re: Kernel Korner: The ELF Object File Format: Introduction
Really very useful and interesting introduction.With this i can understand that main advantages of ELF format over a.out is in using with Shared lib and it provides more symbolic information which is useful for Debugger.
Are there any more advantages of ELF over *.out format??
Re: Kernel Korner: The ELF Object File Format: Introduction
Very interesting, unfortuneately the link given for the ELF doc. is not availible anymore.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
