New research shows children who experienced concussions may need more time to heal before returning to school
By Nirav K. Shah, M.D., F.A.C.S.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, every three minutes a young athlete from 7 to 19-years-old is taken to an emergency room for concussion treatment. Children between the ages of 12 and 15 accounted for almost 50 percent of those injured. One of the latest questions for researchers studying the short and long-term effects of concussions isn't when student-athletes can safely get back in the game but, more importantly, how long to wait before they can safely return to the classroom.
New research shows that the side effects from concussions can linger long after physical symptoms─dizziness, headaches and light sensitivity─have disappeared. Clinical findings also found that the mental exertion of normal routine classwork could actually worsen the effects of a concussion and impede successful recovery. The study found that the harder recovering students try to focus on any mental activity, the more severe resulting headaches or dizziness may become.
Why are concussions so serious?
Make no mistake ─ a concussion is an academic injury, in the sense that it is detrimental to the capacity for future learning. Many parents still don't realize that children who have experienced concussions will have some degree of negative impact on their academic performance. Scientists studying the effects of concussions are challenged by the fact that not all concussions affect the brain the same way. Further, a child who bumps her head on the door is not the same as someone who hits her head diving for a soccer ball.
The cognitive effects of a blow to the head can temporarily make focusing on studies, taking tests or listening in classrooms more difficult. Concussion-related memory problems, mental sluggishness and inability to focus can affect grades, standardized test scores and classroom placement. New research suggests the younger the injured athlete, the more long-lasting the cognitive effects from the concussion. Teens, for instance, are more vulnerable than adults to lingering effects of a concussion on short-term memory.
What can we do to protect our children?
New Jersey's youth sports concussion safety law went into effect in December 2010 and is administered by the state Department of Education. It includes a model concussion policy which includes first-in-the-nation recommendations that require all student-athletes be provided academic accommodations when returning to the classroom.
With the expanded concentration on the study and treatment of concussions, we now have vastly improved tools and understanding to help younger patients return to normal brain function even after the brain has been compromised. As neurologists, our ultimate goal is to restore the child's ability to pursue normal social, emotional and intellectual pursuits with renewed vigor and enjoyment. To learn more about concussions, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offers helpful information on their website at cdc.gov/concussion.
CentraState Medical Center in Freehold treats more than 2,000 head injuries each year. A multidisciplinary team of neurologists, sports medicine specialists and physical therapists specializing in head injury and concussion rehabilitation are available to treat patients as young as 10-years-old. The hospital now offers ImPACT baseline cognitive testing to identify and begin treatment of concussions faster and more effectively. To learn more, call 866-CENTRA7 (236-8727) or visit centrastate.com.
On October 30, from 5 to 8 p.m., CentraState Medical Center is hosting a Neuro Wellness event at its Star and Barry Tobias Ambulatory Campus. The free event will feature lectures about brain-related injuries and illnesses presented by clinical experts. A concussion lecture with Dr. Nirav K. Shah will be offered at 5:30 p.m. For more information, call (732) 308-0570 or visit centrastate.com/healthprograms.
Dr. Nirav K. Shah is a board-certified neurosurgeon and spine surgeon on staff at CentraState Medical Center. His areas of expertise include complex spinal surgery, intracranial tumor radiosurgery and concussion therapy. He has presented clinical research findings on the long-term effects of concussion at numerous symposiums and has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals. Dr. Shah can be reached at Princeton Brain and Spine Center by calling (732) 333-8702.

On the Waterfront
By Jan Hrutfiord
The local commercial crab season is officially over until next October for non-Indian fishers. Treaty Indian crab fishers usually have several openings in September for crabbing. Sport fishers will have to check with the Washington department of fisheries or watch for announcements from them for crab opening (usually in mid July or early August).
There is not much commercial fishing going on right now out of Blaine, but boats are already going to Alaska for the salmon season, as well as those Bering Sea boats, which started fishing the 20th of January. It is not yet known what salmon fishing will be available in local waters this year. Commercial salmon fishing was closed this year for much of the California and Oregon coasts, to help preserve their local salmon runs, which have been badly hit from various problems in the rivers that they spawn in.
The Blessing of the Fleet will be held Sunday, May 4, 1:30 p.m. at the Blaine Boating Center (harbormaster's office) in the meeting room. If you have not attended this ceremony before, it is worth going to. State and local officials will be in attendance to pay tribute to commercial fishers, a blessing will be given for those boats and fishers who are or will soon be fishing for salmon, bottom fish, and crab, and a wreath will be decorated with flowers to commemorate fishers who died at sea, as well as local fishers who are no longer with us. This wreath will then be taken out to sea by a local boat chosen to represent the fleet for this year. Music will be presented by the Blaine high school music department.
If you know of a local fisher who died at home or at sea this past year, let committee chairman Gary Dunster know. His phone number is 332-8090.
Following the ceremony, refreshments will be provided for all who are in attendance.
While you are at the harbor, take a look at the Seafarers' Memorial building, which has a new blue metal roof, matching the harbor buildings. The building houses the plaque with the names of those local fishers who were lost at sea, going back over 100 years. The "Fishermen's Table" from the former Harbor Cafe is installed on the wall of the memorial building. This table lists most of the commercial fishing boats and owners from about 20 years ago. It is amazing to see how many there were, and sad to see how few commercial boats are left fishing out of our harbor.
The life of fishermen has changed drastically over the last 20 years. Those who still are fishing are finding it harder and harder to be able to catch fish, both because there are more rules that close areas for fishing, and there are less and less fish available to catch. I certainly hope that there will always be some commercial fishers going out to sea from our harbor.
Did you have time to go to the Wings Over Water last Saturday? If not, there is still time to go on your own to see the ducks and geese that come here to winter over in Drayton Harbor and Birch Bay areas. We are certainly blessed to have such access to the many types of sea birds that live here in the late fall to spring months, before they go north again for the summer. Good places to see these birds are here in the Blaine Harbor, Marine Park, and the end of the Marine Drive dock, as well as along Drayton Harbor Road, Semiahmoo Spit, and along Birch Bay Drive. Take your binoculars and a good bird book with you to help identify the many different species of birds.

Drinking Song
Wine comes in at the mouth
And beauty comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
Wine comes in at the mouth
And beauty comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
The Sound of Water's Footsteps
Poem By: Sohrab Sepehri (translated by: Roya Monajem, Tehran)
I am from Kashan
My life is not bad
I have a loaf of bread, a speck of intelligence, a morsel of talent.
A mother, better than a leaf of a tree,
Friends, better than a current of water.
And a God not far away, but
Among these wallflowers, beneath that tall pine tree
On the consciousness of water, on the law of foliage.
I am a Moslem.[2]
My ghebleh[3] is a red rose.
My janamaz[4], a water spring, my mohr[5], light
Field is my sajadeh[6].
I take vozou[7], with the palpations of windows.
In my namaz[8] flows moon, flows rainbow
Stone is visible behind my namaz:
Crystallized are all the particles of my namaz.
I chant my namaz when
The wind has sung its azaan[9] on the minaret of cypress tree
I chant my namaz following 'takbirolharaam'[10] of grass,
Following ghadghaamat[11] of wave.
My Kaabah is by the shore,
My Kaabah is beneath acacia tree.
Like the breeze, my Kaabah travels from garden to garden, from city to city.
My hajarolasvad[12] is the brightness of flowerbeds.
I am from Kashan
My craft is painting;
Every now and then, I make a birdcage with paint, to sell to you,
So with the song of poppies that it has imprisoned
Cheers up the heart of your loneliness.
What a dream, what a dream!
I know my canvas is soul-less,
Surely I know that the pond of my painting is fish-less.
I am from Kashan.
My descent perhaps goes back
To a foliage in India, to an earthen vase in See-alk[13].
My descent goes back perhaps
To a prostitute in the city of Bokhara.
My father died after twice coming of swallows,
After twice falling of snow,
After twice sleeping in veranda,
After the passage of times.
When my father died, the sky was blue,
My mother woke up innocently, beautiful, got my sister.
When my father died, policemen were all poets.
The grocer asked me: 'how many melons do you want?'
'How much does a tiny bit of happy heart cost?' I asked.
My father used to paint
He made and played the tar[14] too.
Beautiful was his hand-writing.
Our garden was on the shadowy side of wisdom
Our garden was the knotting place of feeling and foliage,
Our garden was in the focal point of encounter of eye, cage and mirror.
Our garden was perhaps an arc of green circle of bliss.
I'd chew the unripe fruit of god in sleep, in those days.
I'd drink water non-philosophically;
I'd pick berries unknowledgeable-ly.
As soon as a pomegranate burst, hand was a fountain of desire.
As soon as a Cello sang, breast burnt with a longing to hear.
Every now and then, loneliness stuck its face against the window.
Passion could arrive, folding its arms around the feeling,
Thoughts would play.
Life was something like the pouring of Feast of Spring,
like a plane tree full of starlings.
In those days, life was like a row of light and dolls,
Like an arm of freedom.
In those days, life was like a pond of music.
Toddling slowly, the child walked away through the alley of dragonflies.
I packed my suitcase, moved out of the city of carefree fancies.
My heart, though, filled with homesickness for dragonfly.
I joined the party of the World:
I visited the field of grief,
The garden of mysticism,
The lighted veranda of knowledge.
I climbed up the stairs of religion.
To the end of the alleyway of doubt,
To the cool air of independence,
To the wet night of compassion.
I went to meet someone on the other end of love.
I walked, I walked toward woman,
Toward the light of pleasure,
Toward the silence of desire,
Toward the sound of the wing of loneliness.
I saw many things on Earth:
I saw a child smelling Moon.
I saw a cage with no doors, brilliance flapping its wings in there.
A ladder on which love ascended to the roof of heaven.
I saw a woman pounding light in the mortar.
On their table for lunch, there laid bread, fresh herbs, aloofness of dew
the hot bowl of compassion.
I saw a beggar walking door to door, begging the song of a lark
And a sweeper chanting his prayer to the peeling of a melon.
I saw a lamb eating paper-kite.
I saw a donkey understanding hay.
In the meadow of 'advice,' I saw a satiated cow.
I saw a poet talking to a lily, addressing it as 'You, (Your Highness).'
I saw a book with its words all of crystal.
I saw a paper of the same nature as spring.
I saw a museum far from vegetation,
A mosque far from water.
Above the bed of a hopeless scholar, I saw a vase filled with questions.
I saw a mule with a load of 'essays'
I saw a camel with a load of empty basket of 'maxims'.
I saw a mystic with a load of 'tanana ha ya hoo'.[15]
I saw a train carrying brightness.
I saw a train carrying religious jurisprudence, so torrential it ran.
I saw a train carrying politics (and so empty it ran).
I saw a train carrying the seeds of lotus and the song of canary.
And an aeroplane that on that height of thousands of feet
Dust was visible on its window:
The comb of hoopoe,[16]
The spots of a butterfly's wing,
The picture of a frog in a pond
And the passage of a fly through the alleyway of loneliness.
The clear desire of a sparrow when it lands on earth from a plane tree.
And the maturation of Sun.
And the beautiful lovemaking of a doll with morning.
I saw stairs that ascended to the greenhouse of lust;
Stairs running toward the cellar of alcohol;
Stairs running toward the corruption of red roses
And toward the mathematical conception of existence;
Stairs running toward the roof of Enlightenment;
Stairs running toward the platform of manifestation.
Down there, my mother was
Washing cup in the stream of memory.
The city was visible:
The geometrical growth of cement, steel, stones.
The pigeon-less roofs of a hundred buses.
A florist was putting his flowers up for sale.
A poet was hanging a swing amid two jasmine trees.
A boy was throwing stones at the wall of a school.
A child was spitting plum stones upon the faded praying rug of the father.
And a goat was drinking water from the Khazar[17] of a Geographical map.
A laundry line was visible: a restless brassier.
The wheel of a cart longing for the horse to become weary,
The horse longing for the carter to sleep,
The carter longing for death to arrive.
Love was visible, wave was visible.
Snow was visible, friendship was visible.
Word was visible.
Water was visible, so was the reflection of matter in water.
The canopy of cells in the heat of blood
The humid side of existence
The East of Grief in the heart of humanity
The season of roaming in the alley of woman
The fragrance of loneliness in the alley of season.
A flabellum[18] was visible in the hand of summer.
The journey of seed to flower;
The journey of ivy from this to that house;
The journey of Moon to the pond;
The eruption of Snowdrops from the earth;
The pouring of young vine from the wall;
The raining of dew on the bridge of dreams;
The leaping of joy over the fortress of death;
The passage of accident behind the words.
The war between a hole and the plea of light,
The war between a step and the large foot of Sun,
The war between loneliness and a song,
The sweet war of pears with the emptiness of a basket,
The gory war of pomegranate with teeth,
The war of a parrot with eloquence,
The war of a praying forehead with the coldness of earth.
The onslaught of mosque's tiles on prostration,
The onslaught of wind on ascension of soap bubble,
The onslaught of a troop of butterflies across the plan of 'extermination of pests,'
The onslaught of a flock of crickets upon 'plumbers,'
The onslaught of regiment of reed-pen writing across leaden letters,
The onslaught of a word on a poet's jaw,
The conquest of a century by a poem,
The conquest of a garden by a starling,
The conquest of an alleyway by two `helloes',
The conquest of a city by three or four wooden horsemen,
The conquest of a spring festival by two dolls, one ball,
The murder of a rattle on the bed of afternoon,
The murder of a story at the beginning of the alleyway of sleep,
The murder of sorrow by the order of a chant,
The murder of moonlight by the neon light,
The murder of willow tree by the 'regime,'
The murder of a sad poet by Chimonanthus[19]
The entire of Earth surface was visible.
Verse was walking through the alley of Greece.
Owl was howling in the 'Hanging Gardens' of Babylon;
In the gorge of Kheibar, wind was shoving a lace of History dust to the East.
On the serene lake of 'Negin,' a yacht was delivering flowers.
In Bonars, an eternal lantern was burning.
I saw people.
I saw cities.
I saw fields, mountains.
I saw water, I saw earth.
I saw Light and Darkness.
And I saw the foliage in Light, and I saw the foliage in Darkness.
And I saw humanity in Light, and I saw humanity in Darkness.
I am from Kashan, but
My city is not Kashan.
My city is lost.
Out of swing, out of fever[20]
I've built a home, on the other side of night.
In this home, I am close to the wet anonymity of grass.
I hear the breathing of flowerbeds
And the sound of Darkness when a leaf falls down,
And the sound of brightness coughing behind a tree,
The sneezing of water in every gap of stone,
Checkcheck chelcheleh[21] from the ceiling of spring,
And the clear voice of the window of loneliness, opening and closing
And the pure vague sound of love shedding its skins,
The fervor of passion to soar, concentrating in the wings'
And the cracking of self-restraint in Spirit.
I hear the sound of steps of desire
And the lawful sound of footsteps of blood in veins,
Pulsation of the spell of pigeon's well[22],
Beating of the heart of a Friday's night,
The drift of clover in thought,
Pure neighing of truth from afar.
I hear the sound of gust of matter
And the sound of Faith's shoes in the alley of Passion,
And the sound of rain on the wet eyelid of love,
On the sad music of maturation,
On the song of pomegranate gardens,
And the crumbling sound of the bottle of joy at night,
The ripping sound of the paper of beauty,
The filling and emptying of nostalgia's bowl with wind.
I am close to the beginning of earth.
I take the pulse of flowers.
I am familiar with the wet fate of water, green habit of tree.
My spirit flows in fresh direction of objects.
My spirit has not lived that long.
My spirit coughs sometimes out of passion.
My spirit is idle:
It counts the drops of water, the gaps between the bricks.
My spirit is sometime as true as a stepping stone.
I haven't seen two fir trees hostile to each other.
I haven't seen a willow tree selling its shadow to the earth.
The elm tree offers its branch for free to the crow.
Wherever there is a leaf, my passion blossoms in the flux of being.
Like the wing of an insect, I know the mass of the dawn.
Like a vase, I listen to the music of growth.
Like a basket full of fruit, I suffer from the fever of reaching.
Like a tavern, I am standing at the frontier of malady.
Like a building on the shore, I am concerned with never-ending high-waves.
Suns, as much as you will; bond, as much as you will; reproduction, as much as you will.
I am content with an apple
And with smelling a chamomile bush.
I am content with having a mirror, a pure attachment.
I don't laugh if a balloon bursts.
And I don't laugh if a philosophy halves the Moon.
I am familiar with the flapping sound of the quail's wings,
With the colors of the bustard's belly, the foot-trace of wild goat.
I know very well where rhubarb grows.
When starlings arrive, when a partridge sings, when a falcon dies,
I know the meaning of Moon in the dream of desert,
Of death in the stem of desire
And the raspberry of pleasure, under the tooth of making love.
Life is a lovely ritual.
Life has wings and feathers as vast as Death,
A leap as high as love.
Life is not something to be left forgotten on the windowsill of habit by thou and me.
Life is the rapture of a hand that harvests.
Life is the taste of the first black fig in the acrid mouth of summer.
Life is the dimension of a tree in the eye of an insect.
Life is the moth's experience in darkness.
Life is a strange feeling that a migrating bird has.
Life is the whistling of a train that echoes in the sleep of a bridge.
Life is watching a flowerbed from the sealed window of an aeroplane.
Is the news of the launch of a rocket to space,
Touching the loneliness of Moon,
The notion of smelling a flower on another planet.
Life is washing a dish.
Life is finding a penny in the brook of the street.
Life is 'square root' of mirror.
Life is flower 'to the power' of eternity.
Life is 'multiplication' of earth by beatings of our hearts.
No matter where I am,
Sky is mine.
The window, thought, air, love, earth is mine.
Why should it matter
If every now and then get taller
The mushrooms of melancholy?
I don't know
Why it is said: 'horse is gallant, pigeon is beautiful.'
And why nobody keeps a vulture in a cage.
What is absent in sweet clover that is present in red tulip.
Washed should be the eyes, another vision should be found.
Washed should be the words.
Word itself should be the wind; word itself should be the rain.
Umbrellas should be closed.
Under the rain, should every one go.
Under the rain, thought and memory should be taken.
With all people of the city, under the rain, one should go.
Friend, under the rain, should be met,
Love, under the rain, should be sought.
Under the rain one should sleep with women.
Under the rain one should play.
Under the rain one should write, talk, sow lotus.
Life is getting wet time after time.
Life is swimming in the pond of 'Now.'
Let us take off our robes:
Water is only a step ahead.
Let us taste brightness,
Weigh the night of a village, the sleep of a deer,
Perceive the warmth of the stork's nest,
Tread not on the law of lawn,
Loosen the knot of taste in vineyard.
And open the mouth, if the Moon comes out,
And cry not that the Night is bad,
And cry not that the glowworm is unaware of the garden's vision.
And let us bring baskets
And pick up so much red, so much green.
In the mornings, let us eat bread and pennycress[23]
And plant a young tree on every turn of speech.
And scatter the seed of silence amid two syllables.
And read not the book through which the wind does not blow,
And the book in which the skin of dew is not wet,
And the book in which cells are without dimension.
And we should not will a fly dash off the tip of the finger of Nature.
And we should not will a leopard walk out of the door of creation.
And we should know that life lacked something, if the worms did not exist.
And without a scratch on its bark, the law of tree would be offended.
And if there were no death, our hands would search for something else.
And we should know that before corals, a void existed in the thoughts
of seas.
And we should not ask: 'where are we?
But only sense the fresh petunias of the hospital.
And we should not ask, where is the fountain of luck?
And we should not ask, why the heart of truth is blue?
And we should not ask, what sort of night had the forefathers of the fathers of breeze?
There is no living space behind the back.
Behind the back, bird does not sing.
Behind the back, wind does not blow.
Behind the back, the green window of fir tree is closed.
Behind the back, dust covers all the peg tops.
Behind the back rests the exhaustion of history.
Behind the back pours the remembrance of wave on the cold shell coast of stillness.
Let us go to the seashore,
Spread the net on the water,
Catch freshness out of the water.
Pick up a pebble from the ground
And feel the weight of being.
Curse not the Moonlight if we have fever,
(I've sometimes seen in fever, the Moon comes down
The hand reaches the ceiling of Heavens.
I've seen goldfinch singing better.
Every now and then, the wound on my foot
Has taught me all the nuances of the earth.
Every now and then, in my sickbed, the size of flower has multiplied
And has increased the diameter of sour orange, the radius of lantern.)
And let us not fear death
(Death is not the end of the pigeon.
Death is not the cricket upside down.
Death flows in the mind of Acacia.
Death takes a seat in the pleasant climate of thinking.
Death speaks of morning in the heart of a village's night.
Death comes into the mouth with the cluster of grapes.
Death sings in the red larynx of throat.
Death is responsible for the beauty of butterfly's wing.
Death picks up basil every now and then.
Death drinks vodka every now and then.
Every now and then, it sits in the shadow staring at us.
And we all know
The lungs of pleasure are full of the oxygen of death.)
Shut not the door to the live speech of Fate coming
from behind the wattles of sound.
Draw back the curtains:
Let the feeling gets aired.
Let maturity settle under any bush it will.
Let instinct go to play games,
Take off its shoes, and chasing seasons, let it jump
over the flowers.
Let loneliness sing.
Write something.
Go to the street.
Let us be simple.
Let us be simple, whether behind a bank's counter or under a tree.
Our job is not to discover the 'secret' of the red rose,
Our job is, perhaps,
To float in the charm of roses,
Camp behind wisdom,
Wash our hands in the ecstasy of a tree leaf before sitting
at the dining table.
Get born with the sun rising in the morning.
Make excitements fly.
Spread water on the perception of space, color, sound, window and flower.
Position the sky in-between the two syllables of 'being.'
Fill and empty the lungs with eternity.
Take the load of knowledge off the swallow's shoulders.
Reclaim name from cloud,
From fir tree, mosquito, summer.
Climb to the heights of compassion on the wet foot of rain.
Open the door to humanity and light and foliage and insects.
Our job is perhaps
To run after the song of truth
Amidst Lotus flower and Century.
Kashan, village of Chenar (plane tree), summer of 1343 (1964).
[2]In a more international language, this part can be translated as:
I am Moslem.
I stand towards a red rose to pray.
I stand on a water spring to pray.
I prostrate on light to pray.
A Field is my praying carpet.
I perform my ablution,
With the pulsations of windows.
In my prayer, surges moon, surges the spectrum of light.
Stone is visible behind my prayer,
Crystallized are all the particles of my prayer.
I chant my prayer when
The wind has sung its bid to pray
On the minaret of a cypress tree.
I chant my prayer following the 'God is great' hymn of grass,
Following the call: 'rise on feet' of a wave.
My temple is by the shore,
My temple is under the acacia tree
Like the breeze, my temple travels from garden to garden, from city to city.
My holy Black Stone is the brightness of flowerbeds
[3] ghebleh: Qibla or Qiblah, the direction of Kaaba Shrine in Mecca toward which all Moslems turn in ritual prayer.
[4] Janamaz is a piece of material sewed for this purpose and usually with beautiful handiwork in which Mohr, (see the following footnote) is kept.
[5] Mohr: a piece of hardened clay taken from a holy place that Moslems put their forehead on when they sort of prostrate.
[6] Sajadeh is a praying rug.
[7] Vosou is the ritual washing before praying. I have used it with the verb 'to take' on the similar basis as 'to take a bath or shower'
[8] Namaz is the name of the ritual prayer
[9] Azaan is Persian pronunciation for Izan or call to prayer
[10] Takbirolahraam is the expression for the saying 'god is great' uttered at the beginning of the daily prayer. Hajarolasvad is the holy black hole by the Kaaba shrine that Moslem kiss during the ceremony of haj (pilgrimage
[11] ghad-ghaamat: it means 'rise' in Arabic. Adding the sound of 'o' between the two words identified here by the hyphen, it would mean in Persian, 'height.' So the meaning of this line would literally be 'Following the call: 'rise to pray' of the wave.
[12] Hajarolasvad is the holy black hole by the Kaaba shrine that Moslem kiss during the ceremony of haj (pilgrimage).
[13] One of the most ancient archaeological sites in Iran, showing the existence of a relatively advanced civilization around 7000 years ago.
[14] Tar: an Iranian string musical instrument
[15] I could not find tanana in any dictionary, and it sounds like one of those typical coinages by Rumi, 'tan' however means 'body' in Persian and 'ha' is the plural sign. 'body' in Persian, ya hoo, in Arabic means, O Lord.
[16] A bird of the same size of a large thrush with handsome erectile semicircular crest and cinnamon-colored and back plumage.
[17] Another name of Caspian Sea.
[18] Fan
[19] An evergreen Asiatic tree with small dark yellow beautiful smelling flowers. In Persian it is literally called 'frost flower' as the flowers appear when the weather gets really cold, preferably frosty.
[20] The Persian word for 'swing' is 'taab' also meaning 'endurance.' Fever is 'tab' in Persian and the expression tab o taab implies a kind of restlessness observed in high fevers. Some of the implied meanings of English word 'swing' are not that far from the Persian word 'taab'

"Welcome to 2010!" said a sign I recently saw. As I glanced at it, something registered in my mind. We have entered the next decade of the "new millennium." It is amazing how time doesn't merely fly, but seems to rocket past. That moment caused me to reflect upon the past 10 years and consider what was and was not accomplished.
"Welcome to 2010!" said a sign I recently saw. As I glanced at it, something registered in my mind. We have entered the next decade of the "new millennium." It is amazing how time doesn't merely fly, but seems to rocket past. That moment caused me to reflect upon the past 10 years and consider what was and was not accomplished.
So often these days we hear about teamwork and partnership. God said in Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, we find some reasons for this. "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
Celebration services in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are planned for next weekend in Liberty County.
No matter what hardships may come, no matter how impossible a situation seems, I want you to know there is always hope.
Here we are at the beginning of a new year, the year 2010. Some of us only dreamed of being alive in this year. We had dreams that life in 2010 would be like "The Jetsons" cartoons we watched as children.
It has been many years since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, but it is something that people still pause to celebrate. Liberty County is one of a few counties in Georgia that still observes the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
We are in the midst of the holiday season, and people are hustling and bustling around town. During this time of the year, it's hard not to get into the spirit of celebration and giving.
Here is a very familiar verse of scripture: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 KJV)
Yaritza Lewis is relatively new to the ministry, but she is already making an impact on the community. Although Liberty County's Hispanic population is growing rapidly, Lewis' church is one of only a few like it in the area.
Hundreds of people arrived early to the Tabernacle of Prayer for All People on Dec. 3-4. They ignored the chilly weather, formed long lines and waited for the church to open.
Liberty County is in for a treat. Internationally acclaimed Bible teacher, prophet, psalmist, media personality and author, Dr. Juanita Bynum, is coming to town.
I wanted to take time during this Thanksgiving season to thank you for all you do. There are always a few people who do most of the work. Sometimes that happens at work, in a family, in a church or in a community.
So often these days we hear stories about love and hate. In fact, if we look at our own lives and the things going on around us, we can see the impact of love and hate. This love and hate cycle is part of our lives.
This year has been a lean one, that's for sure, and many people have endured hardships like never before. Now the season of giving and thanksgiving is upon us.
We've all heard the old saying, "Give me my flowers while I am living so I can enjoy them." That's what the members of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Fleming did for their pastor Nov. 7.
"And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love." - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
I am excited about the role of Christians in today's world.
Today's text is known as "The Great Commission":
I am not sure why I was dreaming about my high-school physical-education days, but there I was in gym class, all 98 pounds of me, calling for the home run.
This is a heads-up: It's time to invite someone to church.
Recently, a celebrity made the news because of an illness and death.
I recently spent much of a day on hold with customer service - with two different companies. I pressed 2 and 3 and the pound sign and almost every other button on my phone as I was transferred back and forth.
"I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13
The sacrifice made by Christ caused him to suffer humiliation and pain.

Young people and wise use of wetlands in Slovenia
Slovenia SGF 2004 project completed:
"Young people acting for the wise use of wetlands"
The project "Young people acting for the wise use of wetlands" focused on building public awareness about the importance of water in Slovenian karst wetlands. It was implemented by the kocjan Caves Park in cooperation with the Notranjska Regional Park (comprising the Ramsar site Lake Cerknica), which are both Ramsar site management authorities.
The educational programme that was developed, and which has been included in regular activities by both Parks, is unique at the Slovenian level and offers an example both to schools and other institutions. Active cooperation involved eight primary schools on the issues of biodiversity and sustainable development, including extensive meetings with the project team and teachers as well as local excursions to the Cerknica lake.
While the joint leaflet of the both Parks (in Slovenian, English, German, Italian and Croatian language) [English version of the leaflet, PDF] presents the karst wetlands in Slovenia to the general public, the educational materials were developed with and for the work with young people. Thus a set of worksheets was developed on biodiversity and use in both Ramsar sites. The worksheets have been designed in such a manner that they encourage pupils to reflect about man's interference with the environment, adequate water management, and the significance of wetlands at the local and regional level. It is a great tool, which raises the children's curiosity and provides pedagogical and technical guidelines for teachers to work with the materials. It also contains guidelines for visual communications and directions of planning (see: mreza kraskih mokrisc ang). [Worksheet in Slovenian, English translation]
Together, the kocjan Caves Park and the Notranjska Regional Park have prepared a five-year programme for communication, education and public awareness following the Ramsar CEPA guidelines. This is also the basic programme for joint cooperation between both karst wetland sites, with the vision of young people acting for the wise use of karst wetlands. [Five-year karst CEPA strategy, English, PDF]
Within the new work grouping, the Karst Wetlands NETWORK, the schools and both parks will ensure their continuous working connection, which was formally established by a partnership agreement in September 2006. Such cooperation between two Ramsar localities is the first one of its kind in Slovenia and represents a series of opportunities for expert tasks and development in accordance with the Ramsar Convention, which was taken up with the elaboration of a draft proposal for an integrated monitoring for Biosphere Reserves. This will ensure the quality functioning of both the Karst Biosphere Reserve as already established and the future biosphere reserve on the Cerknica Lake.
Further information about the Slovenian Ramsar sites and the project can be found on the new Web site www.ramsar.si, which builds another outcome of the project and the contact address for future data exchange and information sharing.
Overall the project benefited greatly from the close cooperation between the Ramsar focal point in Slovenia, Gordana Beltram, the different authorities, and, beyond the Slovenian border, with Italian schools. We are looking forward learning about the application and use of the results in further community actions and ecological education projects.

This makes sense. Selena Gomez's sexy sepia-toned shoot for Flaunt magazine looked like scenes from a larger narrative because, well, they are. Today (November 11) the style bible debuted the short film from which the saucy snaps were taken.
Created by Amanda de Cadenet and Victoria Mahoney, the mini-movie begins like a rehash of Madonna's "Justify My Love" video — all that's missing is a suitcase — before evolving into something more mysterious and interesting. After a raunchy bedroom romp, Sel hits the streets in search of something.
At first I thought she was hunting down her lover (portrayed by Shiloh Fernandez) but there's an unexpected twist that frames the whole project in an entirely different light. Watch Selena broaden her artistic horizons and find — or at least look for — herself up top.
How do you interpret the film? Let us know in the comments below.

You Don't Own Anything Anymore
Google's terms of service sound grabby because they are: the terms of service for Google Drive (and pretty much every Google service) give Google the right to do almost anything with your uploaded content. This isn't because Google has a bunch of really cool ideas for "publicly performing" your photos. It's because copyright law was written before there was a such thing as computers.
"Copyright law itself is really strange," says Greg Lastowka, co-director of the Rutgers Institute for Information Policy & Law. These companies, he says, are only doing "what copyright law forces them to do."
Say you draw a picture. You literally own the paper and the ink that you used to draw it, but the thing you have a copyright for is intangible: it's the pattern, the shapes, the design. If someone comes along a steals your drawing, they're stealing your property. If someone takes a photo of your drawing, they're violating your copyright. "When you say you own a photo," says Lastowka, "you really mean 'I have the exclusive right to reproduce my photo.'"
In a world where sharing a photo is strictly a matter of getting another copy made and mailing it, or getting it published, copyrights are pretty easy to keep track of and these laws hold up pretty well. Sending a physical photo to your grandmother goes like this: you either put the picture in an envelope and send it, or you get a copy made yourself and send that.
Sending your grandmother an email photo, though, might involve copying your photo five or six times; first to Google's servers, then to another server, then to an ISP's CDN, then to AOL's servers, then to your grandmother's computer. As far as you're concerned, this feels exactly like dropping an envelope in the mail. As far as copyright is concerned, it's a choreographed legal dance.
This is smart. (via Buzzfeed)

A stock with 1 billion new India customers
Just 7% of Indians brush their teeth once a day, meaning big sales on the horizon for oral care companies there.
Consider this: Just 7% of all Indians brush their teeth at least once a day. If you're thinking about personal hygiene, you're probably grossed out.
- Get Louis Navellier's Best India Outsourcing Stocks
But if you're thinking about global investing you're seeing dollar signs. It means more than a billion Indians haven't yet begun a daily ritual that is already commonplace around the world!
There is one stock out there right now that has the Indian oral care business essentially cornered, with a whopping 50% market share. That means 600 million Indians are using this company's toothpaste right now -- almost double the entire population of the U.S.!
That company is Colgate Palmolive India, or CLGT on the National Stock Exchange of India.
You no doubt know the parent company Colgate-Palmolive (CL), since it's listed on the U.S. stock exchange. And as a subsidiary of Colgate, CLGT does indeed impact the U.S. stock's bottom line. But don't think you have to settle just for investing in CL stock -- many brokers these days allow easy access to foreign stocks and listings in other countries. If this is the case with your brokerage firm, ask about Colgate Palmolive India. The fees are often higher for stocks listed overseas, but if you but CLGT India today you could likely be holding it for the next decade -- with significant growth year after year after year!
- CL is one of the Best High Yield Dividend Stocks right now.
Let me break down the numbers a little further to show why this stock is a great buy:
Colgate India only rang up $300 million in oral care sales last year. That's the equivalent of less than $1 dollar in oral care spending per Indian per year. By comparison, a developed country like the U.S. spends about $300 per capita per year on oral care. That's almost $1 per day.
Calculations by Iain Little of the Global Wealth Institute show that revenues could quite easily grow five times higher in the next decade, and that profits could grow even faster. Let's do a quick comparison of domestically traded Colgate-Palmolive and Colgate-Palmolive India:
Which company would you rather own?
While the parent Colgate is growing at 5% a year, a decent clip, the still-growing daughter Colgate-Palmolive India is cranking out 50% growth as far as the eye can see.
The bottom line: If you want to cash in on the Indian oral care boom, buy Colgate Palmolive -- and if your broker allows, buy Colgate India on the National Stock Exchange of India under the ticker CLGT.

Implantable contraception is a small, flexible plastic tube containing hormones that doctors insert just under the skin of the upper arm. The hormones delivered in this way can help protect against pregnancy for several years.
One form of implantable contraception is currently available in the United States. It is a matchstick-sized flexible tube that can be left in place and protects against pregnancy for up to 3 years.
The implanted tube slowly releases low levels of the hormone progestin to prevent pregnancy. It primarily works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle). If a girl doesn't ovulate, she cannot become pregnant because there is no egg to be fertilized. The progestin released by the device also thickens the mucus around the cervix. This helps prevent sperm from entering the uterus. The progestin also thins the lining of the uterus so if the egg is fertilized it may be less likely to attach to the wall of the uterus.
Experts believe the type of implantable contraception now available in the United States to be a very effective method of birth control. Over the course of 1 year, fewer than 1 out of 100 typical couples using implantable contraception will have an accidental pregnancy. The chance of getting pregnant will increase if a girl waits longer than 3 years to replace the tube. Because if this, it's important to keep a record of when tubes were inserted and switch to another method of contraception or get a new contraceptive implant.
In general, how well each type of birth control method works depends on a lot of things. These include whether a person has any health conditions or is taking medications or herbal supplements that might interfere with its use. For example, certain antibiotics or an herb like St. John's wort can interfere with the effectiveness of implantable contraception.
How well a particular method of birth control works also depends on whether the method chosen is convenient — and whether the person remembers to use it correctly all the time. This means the implant must be in a good position and working properly, and that a girl needs to remember to have it replaced on time. The only way to be 100% sure that you won't become pregnant or get an STD is to not have sex at all (called abstinence).
Implantable contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Couples having sex must always use condoms along with implantable contraception to protect against STDs.
Many young women who get contraceptive implants will notice a change in their periods. Other side effects that some girls have include:
Some of these side effects may improve with time.
Smoking cigarettes while using implantable contraception can increase a girl's risk of certain side effects. This is why health professionals advise young women who use this type of birth control not to smoke.
Young women who have a hard time remembering to take birth control pills and who want long-term protection against pregnancy may be interested in implantable contraception.
Not all women can — or should — use implantable contraception. In some cases, health conditions make it less effective or more risky to use. For example, implantable contraception is not recommended for women who have had blood clots, liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or certain types of cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have diabetes, migraine headaches, depression, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gallbladder problems, seizures, kidney disease, or other medical problems. Also let the doctor know if you have any allergies.
Anyone who thinks she might be pregnant should not have contraceptive implants inserted.
Implantable contraception is only available through a doctor or other medical professional who has been trained in how to insert it. Some local health clinics may also be able to insert implantable contraception. A doctor may require two office visits: one to examine you and talk about implantable contraception and one to insert the tube itself. How soon the doctor is able to insert the implant depends on when a girl had her last period and what type of birth control she is currently using.
After numbing the inside of the upper arm, the doctor will use a small needle to insert the tube just under the surface. The whole process only takes a few minutes. After the tube is put in, a girl shouldn't do any heavy lifting for a few days.
A medical practitioner must remove the tube after 3 years — it cannot be left in a girl's arm, even after it is no longer working. To remove the tube, the medical practitioner numbs the area, makes a small cut in the arm and pulls out the tube. The tube can be removed any time after insertion — there's no need to wait the full 3 years, but you must go to the doctor to have it removed. To avoid an unplanned pregnancy, it's important to keep a record of when the implant was inserted and to either switch to another method of birth control or get a new implant inserted after 3 years.
The cost of implantable contraception varies widely based on location and insurance coverage. It can range from several hundred dollars to over $1,000. Although there is a charge for removal, some doctors will remove the tube even if you cannot pay.

I love that 2006 Oiler team. Balanced, defensive ability, veterans everywhere and the kids were on value deals. Roloson, Pronger, Spacek, Smith, Staios, Smyth, Hemsky, Horcoff, Peca, Stoll, Pisani, Dvorak, Samsonov, Torres and on it went. How many current Oilers would play their current roles on this team?
There are something like six men still playing from that team, but looking at these players and their numbers is a rush. I'll never get over G7, but loved this team as much as any of the Stanley winners. The current kids want a Stanley as much as the fanbase, but the 2006 coach is going to need championship-calibre moves to get them back into the playoffs, let alone the SCF. It seems like such a long, long way—because it is.
There's a lot of chatter and in the comments section about the youngsters. It is the "make sweeping statements with authority" portion of the season, where Justin Schultz should be moved to RW or traded or signed for $2M; where Jordan Eberle needs to be traded for 10 cents on the dollar because he doesn't backcheck, where Ryan Nugent-Hopkins represents absolute failure.
Fans can afford that kind of venom. We're fans, after all, and words are all we have (ha a—Bee Gees reference) in a season where the town team has ripped out our heart and stomped on it.
Craig MacTavish? He has no such luxury. There's not a kid on this team who was here last year and has taken a full step forward, and that's a tell. If you're going to rip Nuge, or Schultz, or even Hall or Eberle, there has to be a "and this is what should be happening" attached to it. The fact that ALL of the 2012-13 kids are off their previous pace reflects badly on the organization, on the coach, on the system.
Punishing the kids by sending them away is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face. No sir. Craig MacTavish has to sit down with Dallas Eakins and have a good long look at what worked and what did not this season, and together they have to plot a new path. The power play is becoming the number one hot spot for me, as it clearly isn't working and yet the team stubbornly holds on to the system.
Here's a tip for the Oilers: whatever you're doing, it's easily defended. Other teams are reading you, they're not that upset you're sticking to the current power-play setup. They probably fear you'll put in the Ralph tapes from last season, causing the 5×4 to erupt in these final games. No one is frowning, but there's some chuckling I'd bet.
I do not subscribe to the idea of firing Dallas Eakins. This was not an easy situation for a rookie coach—the pressure to make sure this team improved year over year must have been immense. Dallas Eakins is a smart guy, and his early results (the shot differentials at the beginning of the season were encouraging, although drowned by ghastly play in goal) were good.
Craig MacTavish has offloaded some players who either didn't fit into the system (Smid, his skills are duplicated by Ference, as an example) or those who clearly struggled (Dubnyk), but none of the players dealt are what we might call long-term investments.
That all changes with Nail Yakupov. The Dreger monologue this week suggests the Oilers have made him available, and for me that's the hill I'm prepared to die on in regard to Dallas Eakins. I have no worries about a coach coming in and putting noses out of joint, introducing new systems or even losing a few games in a lost season in order to gain the attention of the skilled men. I have no quarrel with any of it.
Trading Nail Yakupov when his value is less than pristine is a fool's game, a Milbury ploy, an idiot wind. I sincerely believe Craig MacTavish is a smart guy, and do not believe the club will be so reckless in regard to the Russian.
However, if summer arrives and we see Yakupov sent away (as Dreger suggests, in a package) for less than full value, we will have our answer. The pain and suffering of the Katz rebuild will have been for nothing, the vision of the future will be well shy of glory, the promise of a new tomorrow will be another term in Shawshank.
Make no mistake. Yakupov's future is a major item. This franchise needs vision and patience, even if it costs them another coach. Dallas Eakins has a fine future, but it may not be here. The rare gem is this kid from Nizhnekamsk. That's the hill I die on.
If the Edmonton Oilers trade Nail Yakupov for flour and eggs, fans will know with certainty the dream is over, and should scream for management resignations all down the line. There is no neutral ground. None.

NZ POLITICS DAILY: The Electoral Commission's Goldilocks formula
The "Goldilocks" formula has been used by the Electoral Commission to come up with its controversial proposals to change MMP.
This is the age-old process by which politicians and authorities decide on compromise policies on the basis of them being 'not too hot and not too cold' – ie, something between the extremes of opinion on any one issue.
This is how the Electoral Commission has come up with its recommendation to abolish the so-called "one-seat rule" that helps small parties get proportional representation in Parliament, and reduce the 5% threshold slightly to 4%.
This Goldilocks method is both explained and approved of yesterday by John Armstrong (National faces tough decision on closing door to cosy deals) and Andrew Geddis (Should the government dissolve the people, and appoint another one?)
