When Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, he declared that future generations would remember it as "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." More than three years later, the oceans are still rising and our planet has done more howling – in the form of extreme weather – than healing. In fact, the current political climate is actually headed in the wrong direction: The most heated talk in Washington right now is not about reducing carbon pollution or expanding renewable energy, but whether to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency. Michele Bachmann has pledged to see the EPA's "doors locked and lights turned off." Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas, wants to "let EPA go the way of the dinosaurs that became fossil fuels."
Not that Obama hasn't overseen some progress on the environment. He struck a deal with automakers to double fuel-efficiency standards by 2025. He boosted funding for clean-energy research. And he made some impressive appointments to key positions, including Lisa Jackson as head of the EPA and Steven Chu as secretary of energy. But overall, Obama's record on the environment has been uninspired – and that's putting it kindly. He hasn't stopped coal companies from blowing up mountaintops and devastating large regions of Appalachia. He caved in on tightening federal standards for ozone pollution, putting the lives of millions of Americans at risk. And the biggest tragedy: He has done almost nothing to rein in carbon pollution – or even to convince Americans that, in the long run, cooking the planet with coal and oil is a bad idea.
It's not all Obama's fault: His plans to rebuild America's energy infrastructure have been hampered by the recession, and his efforts on global warming have been stymied by Tea Party wackos and weak-kneed Democrats in Congress. But the president has spent far too much time blaming others, when he could have been taking action on his own. Here are 10 things Obama could do right now – without any say-so from Congress – to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. All it takes is the will – and some political courage.
ONE: Stop the Pipeline
Is it in our national interest to overheat the planet? That's the question Obama faces in deciding whether to approve Keystone XL, a 2,000-mile-long pipeline that will bring 500,000 barrels of tar-sand oil from Canada to oil refineries on the Gulf of Mexico. Greenlighting the $7 billion pipeline would help feed America's addiction to oil – but it would also send a clear signal that Obama ranks cheap gas as a higher priority than a stable climate. Activist and writer Bill McKibben, who organized protests at the White House to stop the pipeline, calls the decision "a defining moment of the Obama years."
There are two big problems with Keystone XL. First, mining and refining the tar sands of Alberta – the second-largest repository of carbon on the planet – requires huge amounts of energy. That's why carbon pollution from tar-sand oil is up to 20 percent higher than from conventional crude. If we burn through the tar sands, warns NASA expert James Hansen, it's "game over" for the climate. Second, an oil spill from the pipeline could devastate the Midwest: A recent study by the University of Nebraska estimates that a worst-case spill in the Platte River would create an oil slick that would stretch for hundreds of miles and contaminate drinking water for millions of Americans.
There are signs the pipeline may already be a done deal: The State Department's environmental review of the project recently concluded that the pipeline would have "no significant impacts." But Obama can still stop the project all by himself, simply by refusing to sign the certificate of national interest required to allow the pipeline to cross the U.S. border. But blocking Keystone XL means saying no to Big Oil. Among the companies with the most to gain if the pipeline is built: Koch Industries, a major backer of the Tea Party. To put pressure on the State Department, which must sign off on the pipeline, Keystone's operator has hired the former deputy director of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign as a lead lobbyist.
Environmental choices don't get much starker than this. "Obama is alone at the top of the key," McKibben recently wrote. "Will he take the 20-foot jumper – or pass the ball?"
TWO: Prevent Oil Spills
Last year, after an explosion at BP's deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and spewed nearly 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, Obama convened a national commission to examine the causes of the spill and recommend reforms. "The question is," the president said, "what lessons we can learn from this disaster to make sure it never happens again?"
Not many, apparently. The oil-spill commission, whose chairman called the disaster "both foreseeable and preventable," released its full report last January, along with a long list of recommendations to improve the oversight and safety of offshore drilling. Among them: Involve top scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in decisions about where and how to drill, and boost the industry's liability for environmental and economic damages above $75 million.
But so far, Obama has failed to act. "Most of the recommendations have now been buried," says Rick Steiner, an Alaska oil-spill expert. "It's a travesty." Part of the blame lies with Republicans in the House, who are pushing to open up large swaths of the Atlantic Coast and the Arctic to offshore drilling. But Obama can implement many of the reforms by executive order: Improve training for federal inspectors, impose a fee on the oil industry to cover the cost of regulation, put a stop to the Interior Department's cozy relationship with drillers, and establish Regional Citizens Advisory Councils for both the Gulf and the Arctic to give local communities a voice in how the industry is regulated.

Because it is lighter than air, airships and balloons are inflated with helium for lift. While hydrogen gas is approximately 7% more buoyant, helium has the advantage of being non-flammable (in addition to being fire retardant).
"Helium is a finite resource and is one of the only elements with escape velocity, meaning that once released into the atmosphere, it escapes into space."

AS MUCH AS college football coaches and fans do not want to hear it, I am here to proudly proclaim for the final time that the BCS system worked ... once again.
Few would argue that the two best teams in the country — Florida State and Auburn — will meet to determine the final BCS national champion. Just in case you need to be reminded, the BCS accomplished its primary purpose of matching the top two teams.
Most coaches and fans who detested the BCS system wanted it to flame out with all kinds of controversy in its final season of operation. Instead, just as happened in all but three of its previous 16 seasons, the BCS worked to near perfection.
The system created the greatest regular season in all of sports, a week-to-week elimination tournament. Some 90 programs began the season with a chance to reach the title game. Several teams were eliminated each week, all the way to the conclusion this past weekend of conference championship games.
The last team standing, Ohio State, fell to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game Saturday, leaving undefeated Florida State of the ACC against once-beaten Auburn of the SEC to play for the title.
If you want to understand how much different — and less dramatic — it will be next season with the advent of a four-team playoff, go back and replay the ending of Auburn's stunning victory over Alabama in the regular-season finale for both teams.
When Auburn's Chris Davis returned a missed field goal 100 yards for a game-winning touchdown, it kept the Tigers' hopes alive of winning the SEC championship and of playing in the BCS title game. The loss eliminated Alabama for all championships, including a chance to win a third consecutive national title.
Had next season's playoff system been in place, much of the drama for Alabama would have been diminished. The Crimson Tide would not have played in the SEC championship game, instead beginning preparation for the four-team playoff.
Enough whining
South Carolina fans apparently are upset that their football team defeated Clemson in the regular-season finale yet are headed to the Capital One Bowl while the Tigers head to the BCS and the Orange Bowl.
First of all, head-to-head results rarely, if ever, determine the destination of bowl teams. That USC defeated Clemson is largely irrelevant in bowl pickings.
What matters most is a team's standing within the conference. A 10-2 record with losses to BCS No. 1 Florida State and No. 9 USC left Clemson as the second-best team in the ACC. When Florida State reached the BCS national title game, Clemson jumped into the Orange Bowl slot as the representative of the ACC.
USC, on the other hand, also compiled a 10-2 record but with losses to BCS No. 22 Georgia and unranked Tennessee, which finished with a losing record. USC was considered the third-best team in the SEC behind Auburn, which is playing for the national title, and Alabama, which was extended a BCS invitation to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
In essence, the loss to Tennessee cost USC a shot at playing in the SEC championship game and ultimately a chance to claim it deserved a spot in the Sugar Bowl as the league's second-best team.
Left out
By season's end, 79 of the 126 major-college programs were eligible to play in bowl games. That means 47 teams suffered losing seasons.
With 35 bowl games being played, nine teams were eligible to play in the postseason but not extended invitations. Hardest hit was the Sun Belt Conference, where seven teams were eligible by posting 6-6 records or better. Yet only Louisiana-Lafayette (New Orleans Bowl) and Arkansas State (GoDaddy.com Bowl) reached the postseason.
Western Kentucky (8-4), Louisiana Monroe (6-6), South Alabama (6-6), Troy (6-6) and Texas State (6-6) were left out, joining Florida Atlantic (6-6) of Conference USA, Toledo (7-5) and Central Michigan (6-6) of the Mid-American Conference, and San Jose State (6-6) of the Mountain West as teams that were bowl eligible but stayed home.
Chance to lose
At least those aforementioned 6-6 teams will not get the chance to finish the season with a losing record.
Seven teams will play in bowl games and could go home with 6-7 records. They include Washington State in the New Mexico Bowl, Oregon State in the Hawaii Bowl, Pittsburgh in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Syracuse in the Texas Bowl, Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl, North Carolina in the Belk Bowl and Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl.
Just about every bowl game now has a sponsor's name attached to it. The exceptions are the Military, Texas and Rose bowls.
The best of the titles this season include the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl.
Surely, the Cook-Out Columbia Bowl is on the way.

It's a Tuesday night, pretty average really, except that something truly miraculous has just happened to me. I'm lying on Sara Griscom's massage table at Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Center, spent, open, healed, and grateful.
Sara has done all the things a good, highly trained neuromuscular massage therapist can do, yes: She's rubbed and kneaded my muscles, she's worked my myofacial tissue, she's aligned my limbs and carefully applied pressure to trigger points to release tension in my musculoskeletal system. She's helped me undo all the habits of holding and patterns of misalignment that keep a middle-aged gal like me from experiencing the joy of a pain-free existence. I feel better physically when she's done, and no doubt I'll perform better functionally when I walk out her door.
But that's not it. Not it at all. She's done something else for me, something more profound, yet subtle. She's worked on my energy body, helping me grapple with some serious spiritual and emotional issues—second-chakra baggage I'd been dragging around for years, if you care to know—and finally, thankfully, let them go.
The release I got from her energy work was mind-blowing in a way that's harder to describe than, say, a hamstring letting go—it was like a weight had been lifted off my soul. When it's over, my spirit feels like it has a little more range of motion, my emotions a little more flexibility than they did just a few hours ago. Like I said, spent, open, healed, and grateful. A little wigged out—but in a good way.
This is all in a day's work for Griscom, who's not your average massage therapist by any means. She is, rather, an intuitive guide (the protégé of East Tennessee favorite psychic son Bobby Drinnon) and a healer trained in multiple traditions—massage therapy, Mayan and Maori healing, and Reiki among them. She uses her hands to help her "hear" what's going on, and to help her clients hear it, too. "For me, massage is just a platform—Bobby likes to just call it touch," she says. "But I think everything that is happening with the physical body is a guidepost to what is happening with us energetically. We don't always look at the energetic component, because we're not trained to see it. But really, it's the bigger part. It's the part you can't ignore."
Speaking from a strictly holistic perspective, she's preaching the gospel—all illness and discomfort and disease is a manifestation of an underlying mental, emotional, or spiritual disorder. That is to say, life's physical problems have roots in the nonphysical realm. You can't just throw drugs at your migraine headache if, at the core, it's really about fear of abandonment. You can't rub away chronic lower back pain if your real issue is heartache over a failing marriage. You need to go deeper—and that's just what energy work does.
It can't mend your marriage, or provide you with a material safety net, of course. What it can do, Griscom says, is help draw your awareness to what's really going on so that you can work through it. "Pain calls us into awareness of ourselves in a very deep way. It's a gift if you can see it that way," she says. "But people need help to digest their own experience sometimes, and work through their internal blocks."
When they do, she says, the potential for healing is boundless. "Energy work brings people that much more into awareness of themselves," she says. "They may feel themselves being plugged in or turned on, they may feel tingly or crackly as the energy starts to move in them and their souls are called back into their bodies. It's a beautiful wake-up call. It's very empowering."
This kind of energetic tune-up is readily available in Knoxville, from Griscom and from many others. Energy work—like energy itself—is all around us.
Before you read much further, this has to be said: To undergo energy work is to willingly enter the world of the woo-woo. Yes, the field is growing; yes, it's being taken seriously. The National Institutes of Health now recognizes "energy medicine" as a valid field of endeavor, and is actively seeking to measure and mark its actions and effects via several studies funded through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). Visit NCCAM's informative website, and you'll learn that energy medicine comes in two flavors—veritable (the tangible, can-be-measured kind, such as acupuncture), and putative (that which has yet to be measured or cannot be measured, such as Reiki, a Japanese energy-work technique).
What constitutes "energy work," the likes of which is plentiful around town these days, is this latter kind. Energy work is a field that seeks to channel and move energy via very subtle manipulations of the body combined with an intention set by the practitioner. By and large, it is an intuitive art, a tuning-in process that defies physicality altogether—and sometimes transcends it. Like I said, woo-woo.
Because energy work is nothing so much as the laying on of hands—a newfangled spin on a practice that's as old as humanity—it's making serious inroads into the world of massage therapy, or what can be known in contrast as "body work." A cursory glance through the list of body workers registered with the American Massage Therapy Association (amtamassage.org) reveals that somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 to 30 percent of local licensed massage therapists (LMTs) now offer some form of energy work as an adjunct to or as a primary feature of their practice.
There's a reason for that. "All massage has an energetic aspect to it," explains Val Whiting, spokesperson for the Tennessee Massage Therapy association. "We are learning that in using some energy techniques, we can lighten up on the physical compression. That's pretty attractive to us, since massage is 60 percent labor. Plus, it's a trend—we are always looking for something new to indicate that we might offer something different."
It's a new take, in other words, on massage with benefits. The therapeutic effects of the garden-variety rubdown—Swedish massage, with moderate pressure—have been well established, thanks largely to the efforts of Tiffany Field, Ph.D., director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami. In study after study, she's shown that massage has measurable benefits for immune system dysfunction, diabetes, depression, cancer, HIV—it even helps premature babies grow faster. "It's turning out to be an incredible thing for reducing chronic diseases," Field says.
So why not stick with the same old strokes? Because the benefits of traditional massage—the likes of which Field studies so rigorously—can only be experienced with repetition. You need more and more and more of the stuff to keep the benefits going. Massage stops, muscles tense, cortisol levels rise, and you're back in the same old boat. Unless you're married to Sven, it's an expensive and time-consuming path to wellness. And for all its feel-good glory, this kind of body work is—well—a little shallow. Skin-deep, if you will.
Plus, focusing solely on the muscles and the connective tissues of the body—the stuff we're made of—leaves much of the inner frontier unexplored. Energy work promises to open your healing horizons in more transformative and lasting ways—if only, as Griscom noted, by helping you find your own way past the whole physical mess and connect to what's authentic. To the chi, the prana, the universal life force energy, that which animates…call it the Holy Spirit, if you want to.
I can't prove a thing, but I've had profound experiences with energy work, and can say what I believe to be true. A good energy work session is like a psychotherapy session—it can help you calm down, breathe deep, and grapple with long-buried emotional issues without having to blab on and on about them. It can help you heal, not only because the practitioner is doing something "to" you, but also because it can awaken your own reserves of balance and well-being. Energy work can help you find peace and solace as you stumble along your spiritual path (whatever it may be). And, mostly, it feels good.
Oh, and one more thing—a few of the most talented energy workers I've ever encountered are right here in our small town, Griscom among them. Here's a guide to some of the best—a who's who of the woo-woo.
For Steve Palmer, finding his path into energy work was following a thread of truth. Working as a physician's assistant for orthopedic surgeons at St. Mary's, he spent his days working with the physical body, hampered by Western medicine's insistence that what you see is all there is. At night, in his spare time, he followed the thread—working on friends, then friends of friends (like me), following his own intuition. He started to explore the world of qi gong, the Chinese art of energy management. Then, in 1997, an invitation showed up in the mailbox. Would he like to travel to China to study with renowned master of External Medical Qi Gong Dr. Lu Guanjun?
The answer, of course, was yes. And whereas Palmer learned much about the ancient energetic healing technique, the most profound finding was that the thread stretched halfway around the world. "When I got there, and had the chance to work with Dr. Lu, the similarity in our technique was so close that even though we were working on the opposite side of the body there was no boundary between me and him and the patient," Palmer remembers. "The sense that I came away with is that this form of healing is one of life's truths—part of a thread that runs through every culture and every body."
Energy healing has many forms and names, Palmer says, but this thread that runs through it is the same. "External Medical Qi Gong, in particular, is part of traditional Chinese medicine, used there in hospitals today as a diagnostic tool to find blockages in the body and to open the energetic channels," he explains. "I listen to the body, locate the challenges there, and direct energy to help release stagnation."
That helps to restore balance to the body when your knee hurts, or you're grappling with peptic ulcers, or undergoing chemotherapy. What's even more healing, though, is the solace you can find in his ultimate message—communicated directly through his touch. "The challenges and difficulties we experience have only tweaked the outside covering," Palmer says. "Really, there is a complete oneness with all of us; in the energetic body, we are all the same."
The Buddhists have this concept of "bodhisattva"—the idea that wisdom beings walk among us, that they're here to contribute to enlightenment of all beings. I've worked with Palmer for years, and he is, I'm convinced, one such being. Placing yourself in his hands means letting your boundaries go, opening to the thread of truth, and feeling yourself lifted on his energetic tide.
Pulling up to Caroline Munday's office, I have to recheck my directions. This doesn't look like a portal into spaciousness; it looks like a typical Rocky Hill ranch house. And Caroline—well, she doesn't look like a tour guide on a journey to the infinite. She looks like a typical West Knoxville suburbanite. But looks can be deceiving. Munday is an experienced Reiki master, delivering universal healing energy to her clients in the sunroom of her home.
Reiki, in case you don't know, is all the rage in energy work; it's perhaps the most commonly found form of the stuff. It is a type of hands-on discovered in 1922 by a Japanese man named Usui Mikao after he spent 21 days fasting and meditating on a mountain top (no, I'm not making that up). The idea is that, through a direct transmission from teacher to student called an "attunement," one can tap into the current of healing energy Usui discovered, and then use it to heal self and other. (This ability goes from hand to hand, in other words—you have to be initiated into the club.) Reiki comes in levels—I, II, III, and master—with each one able to access and transmit a higher vibration of healing energy.
"Reiki takes you deep into yourself so that the body can heal," Munday explains. "The Reiki energy flows through the practitioner and into you. But it's the energy that has a life of its own; it has its own intelligence. It knows where to go to heal."
Munday sees herself as nothing so much as a conduit, or—to be more precise—a receiver. "Healing energy is around all of us all the time, and we all have the potential to tap into it," Munday says. "But most of us are like radios set on static. What Reiki does is tune us in to the life-force energy."
During my 75-minute "tune up" with Munday—as she moves her hands slowly and gently over my clothed body—I feel calmer and calmer. I feel serene and cool, as if a refreshing icy wind has blown through me, evoking the austere beauty of a winter landscape: white, clean, silent, and still.
When I share this image with her, she reassures me. "We are all walking around feeling very depleted and constricted, and when you're in a constricted state, life force can't flow," she says. "Reiki moves out all the blocks so that we can fill ourselves back up with energy and love. Reiki and divine energy are the same thing."
As a loving mother and wife, Margaret Whitefield Lesch has always had a healing touch. But when her husband was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2000, she set off on a quest to put the tools that would heal and help him right at her own fingertips. "I learned a little Reiki, and took a workshop in Healing Touch," she remembers. "One night, I asked to practice on him. I put my hands on his chest and it felt as if a vacuum opened up; he was empty. I worked to fill that void with universal life energy. The next day, he felt better than he had in six months. I knew I had to learn more about this."
She did—and has a mile-long resume to prove it, packed with workshops and certifications in all sorts of energy-healing techniques, including Nervous System Energy Work, an emerging field that focuses on enhancing the physical structure by balancing and nourishing the nervous system. Her basis, she says, is in Healing Touch, a relaxation-oriented modality founded in the late '80s by a nurse, Janet Mentgen, R.N., to help calm and center patients caught up in the Western medical model. But the treatment she offers is her own special blend—informed by intuition, experience, and philosophy.
"We think of ourselves as physical beings, but the whole body is made up of atoms; everything is electrically charged," she says. "When everything is working right, and your chakras are spinning properly, it's like a box fan pulling in cool air to regenerate and activate and nourish the body. But when we are out of balance, things get turned around. We get so that our body can't draw the energy it needs from the universe."
Lesch's work aims to turn the fan back on; her technique is gentle, nearly imperceptible. Still, the net effect is relaxing—and that kind of unwinding of the autonomic nervous system is what underscores all healing, Lesch says.
A large part of her secret, she says, is that she helps her clients learn to stop for a moment in their busy lives of sending energy out, and learn to take some in for themselves. "We all walk around thinking we need to take care of everything ourselves," she says. "But a lot of the reason energy work is so powerful is that it teaches you to be receptive. Part of the healing process is learning to accept help."
If you're the kind of person who needs an organized, systematic approach to healing, and likes an explanation for everything—even the inexplicable—then Jin Shin Jyutsu might be a good fit for you. Like Reiki, it's a form of Japanese energy work developed near the turn of the 20th century. But unlike Reiki, it's a structured format that uses pulse reading to make the subtle more tangible. The idea, explains Meredith Harrison, is that the body's energetic system has 26 subtle "safety locks"—that is to say, points at which energy might be shut down if there's a problem. "The safety locks are like circuit breakers," she says. "When something goes wrong, the lock shuts off and a symptom arises, like an alarm."
Jin Shin Jyutsu finds the broken circuits, flips them on again, and channels fresh energy to the problem area, restoring the body's energetic balance in the most natural way. "People out there are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Western medicine," she says. "They're tired of pouring chemicals into their bodies. It's a relief to find that there are non-invasive options like this that can have a profound effect."
Once a pulse diagnosis is made, Harrison follows one of Jin Shin Jyutsu's "flows": that is to say, a recipe for a series of hand positions stimulating two locks at once. She diagnoses me as being in need of a lung organ flow (which, recently having recovered from pneumonia, I probably am), and proceeds. When she does it, it feels like nothing so much as…nothing, a little light pressure on, say, shoulder and knee.
As for what she's doing… "I'm trying not to think too much," she says. "I'm feeling the pulses, opening the space for the client to breathe. So much of life is about doing; making time for Jin Shin Jyutsu is about being."
I feel good when she's done, rested and refreshed, and am amazed when she gives me one of Jin Shin Jyutsu's secrets: When I'm watching TV, sitting around, or meditating, I should hold my middle right finger with my left hand. This will balance my tendency toward anger and irritability. "I love to give people homework," she says. "For all its complexity, Jin Shin Jyutsu is also something that you can do on yourself. The techniques are really quite simple. You don't need to know how it works or why it works to benefit."
When I show up at Gina Baker's office, I'm exhausted, upset, in pain. I'm suffering from a horrible migraine headache, and in need of help—not just to offset the current symptoms, but to find a way out of the headache trap. She welcomes me into her small office with a hug, listens carefully to my story, then invites me onto her table. "Let's just play," she says. "Let's see where we go."
In the following hour, we go to lots of places—every ache and pain in my body, which Baker seems to find effortlessly. We go into my thoughts and feelings. And we go back to the past—to times and places from my childhood, exploring sources of both happiness and trauma there. I laugh, I cry, I tense, I relax—all the while, Baker soothes and calms me, makes me feel held safe by her and by the universe. She gives me an open field on which to unfold, which—to my own amazement—I do.
Afterward, I feel a little shocked at how quickly and willingly I gave it all up, but lighter, too—scrubbed clean. I feel like I've crammed a year's worth of psychotherapy into one hour, which I happily spent flat on my back. This is Baker's full intention. "Everyone has an inner voice, but we are so busy in this world that we just can't hear it," she says. "We get caught up in taking care of business, taking care of everybody else, and we forget that we're all still little children inside. We don't give ourselves permission to play and to cry and to feel honestly anymore. Children are innocent, and so are you—but you've become hardened by the years and forgotten that. My work is to help you find your inner child, and ask her what she needs."
I cringe a little at the "inner child" concept—it's been so overworked and thoroughly mocked in the last 20 years. But I do feel that Baker has reached through the years, through the layers of crust, and touched a part of me that was there at the beginning. That's no accident. "What we're doing here is really spending time in the womb," she says. "When we work through a treatment, it's really a process of rebirthing."
As for how she does what she does, it's a mystery. "I have a gift," she says. "I'm trained in Reiki, CranioSacral Therapy, myofascial release—but these are just tools in my box. I'm a nurturer and healer who draws on whatever resource is needed to help people get back into their bodies and feel better."
Like Sara Griscom, she's an intuitive. She just knows things, and I feel that she understands things. More to the point, she understands me—and that may be the most healing gift of all. Are my headaches all about detachment from my inner child? I can't say for sure, but I'll be working with Baker—as well as Griscom and Steve Palmer—over the coming months to find out.

It's hosed up pretty good at this point. In fact, you can't even run halt, because the halt program itself is gone. From another command window, kill the system with:
killall -9 vmlinux-184.108.40.206-bs3
Then, see what happens when you try to boot it up again using the same command (Listing 3).

That's gotta hurt. So, as a lesson, do not do that on a real system. But because this is a UML guest with a COW file, you simply can delete the DangerDanger.cow file, and this guest system will boot up back to its initial state.
The utility uml_moo included in the UML utilities will read a filesystem image and an associated COW file and create a new merged filesystem image. This allows you to merge changes stored in the COW file into a new master filesystem image. This makes it easy to clone working guest filesystem images when you have them set up the way you want.
User-mode Linux is fun to play with, but it also has some real-world uses. You can use it to test unknown or untrusted applications while limiting possible damage to the running host system. You can create virtual networks of UMLs by starting up multiple guests at once. This allows you to create a test-lab-in-a-box environment with very little time and effort, so you can try all those "Stupid Linux Tricks" you were afraid to try on a real system!

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.

Key Club debates views
Date: August 26, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Club and Resort General Manager Michael Welly takes issue with the fact that opponents to the club's $400 million Islandside renovation project believe it impacts views from existing residences.
"I understand where they are coming from," Welly said. "But the bottom line is views can't be protected, and everyone knew that when they bought property here."
Key Club Public Relations Manager Katherine Songster said the closest point of contact from existing residences to the project's proposed golf course condominiums is more than 900 feet away and doesn't impact any views of Sarasota Bay.
"The area where our buildings would stand represents less than 5% of their (Islandside residents) entire view," Songster said. "And the higher you go up, our buildings become less and less noticeable."
But Bob White, chairman of the Islandside Property Owners Coalition and an L'Ambiance unit owner, disagrees.
"The views from Islandside residences have not been a central issue that we have raised, but I do think the height of the buildings is a concern," White said. "The golf course condominiums would detract from current views."
Songster, however, said that for the majority of condos behind the gates, there will be more than 1,200 feet between the closest building that would be built.
Songster also points out that the golf course condominiums are 113 feet tall, shorter than the two, 144-foot L'Ambiance towers.
And, Welly and Songster believe that if anyone has a right to complain about views, it should be club officials.
Building Four of the Inn on the Beach Hotel, Songster said, has a tougher time renting out hotel rooms, even though it sits on the beach, because it sits less than 100 feet from L'Ambiance's Building One.
Building Four, an 83-foot-tall structure that was built in 1982, used to offer sweeping views of the beach looking north for guests, Songster said.
But, when the 144-foot L'Ambiance residence tower was built in 1992, those beach views were eliminated.
While standing on a balcony of Inn on the Beach Building 4, the only view hotel guests have to their north is L'Ambiance.
"That building killed our views for Building 4 and hurts our occupancy rates for certain units," Welly said.
Welly said the views that L'Ambiance has affected are much worse than anything that the club is building, including the seven-story golf course condominiums over two levels of parking.
White, however, said that, to the best of his knowledge, the land to the north of Building 4 where L'Ambiance sits was designated as a multi-family development site.
"It's an existing residential site, unlike the property where the club proposes to place the golf course condominiums," said White, who said he didn't believe there would be coalition opposition if the club submitted plans to increase the height of Inn on the Beach buildings.
Welly, meanwhile, said he doesn't understand the problem.
"We are replacing the current view with a new view of some very beautiful architectural buildings and a brand-new golf course," Welly said. "The project does not affect beachfront views, which is the primary view of Islandside residents, at all."

Family business — and your mouth — en fuegoMarch 03,2014
By Tara Kelly
Three years ago, Mary Jane Raiche of Ira looked out at her sizeable home garden and asked herself, "What am I going to do with all of those tomatoes?" She poked around different recipe books and decided to try making salsa. Her friends and family were immediately smitten with its hearty texture and fresh taste.
As Mary Jane tinkered with the recipe, her husband, Bob, started bringing the salsa to his co-workers. They served as taste testers and gave critical feedback about the product. Through word of mouth, the sales started to spread. Eventually, a jar even found its way to a potluck in Boston where a well-known chef got a taste of the salsa's fiery flavor. Reportedly, she said it was the best she ever had. It was then that the Raiches knew they were on to something.
In a society that measures economic activity by jobs added, square feet developed and capital investments made, Raiche's Salsa hasn't yet registered on the radar screen of economists. However, it is part of a much richer story than economic data will ever tell. It is the story of a Vermont family making a living through ingenuity and hard work.
The Raiches are practical people. They have taken one small step at a time with their burgeoning salsa business. Mary Jane makes large batches in her home kitchen during the small amount of free time she has after working her full-time job managing the local McDonald's. Meanwhile, Bob calls on the skills and connections he made as a delivery driver for Thomas Dairy. And together, they have created something that people really want.
Early on, local businesses such as Poultney Pools and the Main Street Market in West Rutland began carrying the salsa, and now their product is found at some of the local Price Chopper stores including Rutland and Manchester.
How did they do it? Well, they certainly make it sound easy enough. At first, Mary Jane told Bob, "I'm not making any more salsa until you can show me it will sell." So, Bob loaded up the trunk and began knocking on the doors of retail food stores.
"If I liked the looks of it, I stopped and went in," Bob said. "The food co-ops have been really great to work with in Rutland, Middlebury and Manchester."
Like most good stories, there was a little luck along the way. The person doing corporate purchasing at Price Chopper got to talking with Bob and it turned out the buyer grew up right behind Thomas Dairy.
Of course, there were a number of great people who helped out along the way. A neighbor who is a graphic designer created the attractive, eye-catching label, and as a seasoned businessperson in the food industry, John Thomas, of Thomas Dairy, provided valuable advice.
But the product sells itself. Mary Jane has a strong commitment to quality. She only uses fresh ingredients — nothing canned. Then each jar is hand-packed to remove excess liquid. These details make a world of difference in taste.
But, as with any small business, there are always challenges. Bob had a major health issue last fall that really slowed things down. It happened right at garlic-planting time. Though thanks to friends, including local farmer Frank Gorham, 800 heads of garlic were planted for use in this year's batch. While they use as much locally grown produce as possible, Mary Jane and Bob haven't yet timed their salsa production to operate with exclusively local ingredients. And they also find it valuable to produce fresh batches of salsa throughout the entire year, when local isn't always an option.
When I asked the Raiches about their plans for future business growth of the salsa, they talked about wanting to keep the business small enough to maintain its high quality. So will this salsa operation ever register with the economists? Maybe not. But, in the meantime, a great family is producing an outstanding product that is meeting a consumer demand while earning them some extra income. It seems like that ought to count in someone's books.

The Campbellsville Tigers had just scored a run in the bottom of the seventh-inning Thursday to knock off the Glasgow Scotties 4-3 to win the 12-Under Little League District Baseball Tournament and advance to next week's state tournament in Prestonsburg.
Glasgow's magical tournament journey, which had included several come-from-behind victories, had finally come to a close. The clock struck 12 midnight.
"Over the last seven or eight weeks, these kids have grown so much. They have gone from kids to young men," said Glasgow Coach David "Poppy" Franklin. "They wanted this game so bad and I wanted it for them. They put in the hard work, the long hot days; they have done everything I have asked them to do to get to this point, to make a run at the district title.
"Campbellsville is a really good team and I have to take my hat off to them. They have won this district the last five or six years."

Children got moving and made a new furry friend Saturday at the Children's Museum of Art.
Part of the museum's Teddy Bear Clinic was designed to introduce children to the Olympics. The event was one of more than 1,000 local meetups selected by Michelle Obama's Let's Move fitness initiative that to highlight Olympic sports Saturday, Olympic Fun Meetup Day.
About 24 children, bears and 15 watchful adults paraded around the museum behind a colored paper torch. They watched snippets of the opening ceremony and highlights of some of the games that will be played in London over the next few weeks. Then they played for their country by clearing miniature hurdles, kicking the game-winning goal and swishing the basketball net.
"It's good for them to see what's happening, why it's a big deal and see it in real life, gear and body movements," said Marian Bryant, lead educator and outreach coordinator of the museum.
Children know swimming involves water, but they might not know Olympic swimming means wearing goggles, Bryant said, gesturing by cupping her finger over her eyes, wearing swim caps or body suits.
Each month, the museum hosts a new educational program. This month, Bryant said they wanted to explain the Olympics — the torch, medals, ceremony and world stage — and let children play some of the sports.
"It's all experiential," Bryant said. "The program is designed for children ages 4 to 8. It's perfect for them because that's all they do."
Asher Gearity, 3, of Cleveland was initially quiet nodding when Bryant asked if he'd like to kick the kickball into the collapsible net. The more goals Asher made, the more animated he became with his kicks.
"Would you like to grow up and be an Olympic athlete?" Bryant asked as she held the net.
Asher didn't answer, though he said he did like soccer and ice skating. If he could be an Olympian, he said he would want to be an ice skater.
"But sometimes I fall," he said.
Asher's mom, Suzann Moskowitz, said she and her husband try to spend as much time with the children outside as they can.
"Even if it's not an organized activity, they'll find a way to be active," she said, adding her boys have yet to learn about video games. "We'll participate with them, running races, riding bikes with them."
Debbie Knerim, of Cleveland, watched as her grandchildren played at the museum after the games. The games, and sports in general, offer mental, physical and social stimulation by teaching children about teamwork and competition.
"It's important to learn to win and lose graciously," Knerim said. "When you lose, you know there's another time and you have to work harder because that's what life is — it's about participating, not winning."
Her grandson, Russell, 9, said he would like to be an Olympic athlete.
"I like games where you I really need to concentrate. I don't really know what sport" he said, pausing to assemble a train track. "I've always loved running."
Sunday, the museum will be having a craft corner to create Olympic flags. In August, the museum will continue the Olympic sporting theme by hosting a program about archery, weightlifting, rhythmic gymnastics and handball.

My boyfriend and I celebrated Christmas early with his family last weekend and I got an exciting gift, a ukelele!
I have played the guitar off and on since I was in eighth grade and randomly became intrigued by the ukelele about a year ago. This new gift also encouraged me to dust off the old guitar and start playing again, something that I had neglected for quite some time.
While I have several other hobbies that I practice more frequently such as running, yoga, baking and reading, I felt bad that I had neglected something I had enjoyed for so long. I think we all get bogged down with work, other committments and the stress of being an adult that we often forget to take time to do the things we truely enjoy.
If you think about it, your entire young life from preschool through college, you are constantly involved in a variety of activities and are trying new things all the time. Once you join the "real world" and get a big kid job, it seems like many of these interests are things of the past. I went from being involved in about seven different sports, organizations and activities, to a fast-paced job in a town where I knew no one and had little free time.
In general, adults aren't really encouraged to join sports teams or partake in activities. It's almost like once you become an adult you're suppose to focus on work and little else, or it's like you've outgrown the things you used to love.
While I think exercise is a great form of release, it's equally important to have other activities that stimulate your mind and offer enrichment in different ways. Taking time to enjoy the things you love is a great escape from everyday life and even acts as a form of therapy.
Strumming my new ukelele gave me a new sense of accomplishment and ease that I hadn't felt in a long time. Now my next project is to find a way to use and practice my French so my French minor doesn't go to waste.

Fitchburg Savings Bank, FSB, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit official checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation. The counterfeit items are reportedly associated with a secret shopper scam and are included with correspondence from "The Apex Evaluation and Marketing Services" based in Ontario, Canada.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 211370736, which is assigned to Fitchburg Savings Bank, FSB, but are markedly dissimilar to authentic personal money orders. The counterfeit items have ornate borders on three sides and display the words "OFFICIAL CHECK" inside a rectangle with rounded corners centered within the top border. The following security statement appears on each side of the rectangle: "HOLD THIS DOCUMENT UP TO THE LIGHT TO VIEW TRUE WATERMARK." The bank's "FSB" logo, name and branch address ("9 Sack Blvd., Leominster, MA 01453") appear in the lower-left corner. The bank's name is repeated as "DRAWER" above the signature line.
Fitchburg Savings Bank, FSB issues personal money orders, rather than official checks. Authentic items display "PERSONAL MONEY ORDER" in the top center and are not valid for more than $1,000.
Copies of a counterfeit item and authentic personal money order (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items can be modified and that additional variations may be presented.
