Death Valley is commonly known as an area where nothing grows. But in the Spring of 2005, seven inches of rain fell, creating the right circumstances for a carpet of bright yellow flowers to blossom. It also proved that Death Valley isn't really dead.
"Right beneath the surface are seeds of possibility, waiting for the right conditions to come," said Sir Ken Robinson, who told the tale to draw a parallel between the valley's environment and the one that can be found in some American schools. Sir Robinson is the internationally renowned author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative and The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything.
Robinson conducted the keynote speech during the 10th anniversary celebration of the Common Ground Speaker Series at Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton, California. With the nonchalant confidence of mild-mannered grandfather who has grown impish with age, he encouraged listeners to recognize that serendipity plays a huge role in the development of a child.
Linear academic programs often stifle children into feeling as though they aren't good at much, he said, when in fact their true talents need only to be recognized and nurtured to flourish.
"Life is inevitable…with a different energy and a sense of possibility," he said, tilting his head slightly for emphasis.
About a thousand educators from 26 Bay Area schools packed the Michael J. Homer Student Life and Science Center, some sitting Indian style on the floor below the stage, while others stood for the duration of his two-hour talk about novel ways to think about the relationships that students develop with their teachers and parents.
"This is about creating a culture of achievement and a culture of possibility, not a culture of standardization," he said, saying that the current paradigm kills creativity in children, which he defined as "applied imagination."
A lot of school districts in America place a very high value on the results of standardized tests, which is not the ideal way to measure the success of an educational endeavor he said. He highlighted the educational system in Finland as a model that schools in the United States could emulate, citing its lack of standardized testing as one of its strengths.
Afterwards, one of the parents in the audience stood up and asked how Robinson would measure the success of a school without those tests.
Sir Robinson replied with a few ways: retention rates, graduation rates, and other less tangible things such as the spirit of the school. The enthusiasm with which students and teachers alike go to school would also be good indicators he said, clarifying that he was not against standardized testing.
"Some things can be reasonably tested," he said, "If I have a medical exam, I want a standardized test." But, he said that placing such high values on achieving a grade is corrosive.
If all students are getting out of a school is a grade, that is a failure of the system, he said. Schools ought to be geared toward discovering a child's element, that seemingly elusive scenario in which the student "feels like they're at Disneyland."
Educators say that task is not easy.
"Raising children who are healthy, confident, and resilient may be the most challenging responsibility most of us ever face," said Norm Colb, head of Menlo School, which is a Common Ground Speaker Series member.
"Over the past decade, Common Ground has provided thousands of parents and faculty in the region with outstanding educational opportunities that have been invaluable in addressing this challenge."
The Speaker Series hosts about 13 events a year, all of which are free for member schools, which also include , Phillips Brooks, Woodside Elementary, Pinewood, Charles Armstrong, The Priory, and Waldorf School of the Peninsula.
"Ten years ago, we developed this consortium to expand upon the notion of a 'village' by extending parent education, professional development and the definition of a 'community' beyond the confines of any one school campus or neighborhood," said Faye Star, co-founder of the Common Ground Speaker Series.
"Encouraging educators and parents from different school communities to learn and share together is a critical part of our mission and our success...We can all benefit from pooling talents and resources as well as from building a shared vocabulary," she said.
Robinson's ideas tended to align with hers. Teachers need to be given the license and freedom to innovate and to re-invoke the creativity of the teaching profession, he said, otherwise opportunities to recognize the true talents of students could be lost.
"We can't predict the future, but we can create one that we all want to live in."

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) introduced a new email and text messaging alert system, "MetroAlerts," designed to provide bus and rail customers with improved up-to-the-minute information about planned service changes and delays.
For the first time, bus customers can receive alerts and advisories regarding route-specific delays, detours, schedule changes and construction activity. Customers can sign up to receive information for up to four bus lines and opt to have alerts sent to their mobile device, pager or desktop email.
MetroAlerts is intended to complement the Next Bus system, which provides predicted arrival times for individual bus stops based on GPS data.
MetroAlerts builds on Metro's previous rail-only email alert system, which was limited to 140-character messages. Now, in addition to those short-message alerts, customers have the ability to receive longer "advisories" regarding planned service changes, upcoming track work, early openings and travel tips. Because MetroAlerts allows for two email addresses, customers can opt to have short alerts sent to their mobile device while receiving longer advisories on their desktop email account.
In addition, rail customers can also now receive targeted alerts and advisories for up to four stations they use most.

The World's Strongest Librarian
A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family
A 6'7" Mormon librarian at the Salt Lake City Public Library recounts his struggle with Tourette's syndrome in this quirky, humorous memoir. At age six, Josh Hanagarne began exhibiting the symptoms of this little-understood disorder, including uncontrollable physical tics (blinking) and vocalizations (barking). His love of books--from Charlotte's Web to Stephen King--provided refuge from the taunts of his classmates, but no treatment helped, until a former U.S. Air Force Tech Sergeant taught him to control his tics through strength training.

According to research firm Gartner, spending on cloud computing will grow 18.5 percent to $130.7 billion this year. The breakdown of cloud and security services compound annual growth rate (CAGR) Gartner predicts is as follows:
- SaaS: 19.5 percent
- PaaS: 27.5 percent
- IaaS: 41.3 percent
- Security services: 22 percent
In many organizations, privacy and security worries will drive the adoption of cloud encryption systems. This means both IT professionals and graduates of information security ms online as well as traditional programs must be familiar with data encryption in the virtual environment. These professionals and graduates should also follow six steps to ensure data security in the cloud.
Develop Plans for Data Breaches and Access Requests
Not all data requires the same level of protection, so companies need to categorize data they plan to store virtually. For each category, companies should identify data breach compliance requirements. They should also create rules for whether data can be stored in multiple places.
An enterprise data security plan will spell out business processes for dealing with law enforcement requests for data. All stakeholders, including legal, business, IT, contract and security should know their roles in the plan.
Understand How Your Provider Both Stores Data and Sunsets Data
Several concerns about storage include how the cloud service provider (CSP) puts up barriers between multiple cloud tenants, how the CSP uses methods to keep data from being replicated to certain countries or regions, whether storage used for backup or archives is encrypted and the CSP's policies for both identity and access management. When data reaches the end of its useful life, the CSP should encrypt the data and delete the keys. In essence, this virtually shreds data and keeps keys from being replicated or compromised.
Keep Data Secure While It's in Motion
Gartner suggests that at a minimum, CSPs should enable SSL/TLS protocols for browser access and VPN-based connections for system access to data. While most enterprises encrypt data while it travels, many do not keep it encrypted while it's in storage. Therefore, companies have to make sure unencrypted stored data is protected from breaches. Also, IaaS providers should provide network separation among tenants so tenants can't see one another's data.
Manage Encryption Keys
In a best-case scenario, enterprises manage their encryption keys. However, if the CSP manages keys, then the provider must ensure access management controls enable breach notification and follow data residency policies. They should also ensure key management systems are hardware-based, and policies and procedures are tightly managed. As an additional precaution, CSPs should exercise caution when providing screenshots from the data center. Memory contents can be analyzed in an attempt to gain keys.
Implement Tight Access Controls
Gartner recommends a number of access controls, including:
- IP subnet access restriction policies. This allows enterprises to restrict end-user access from a known range of IP addresses and devices.
- Two-factor authentication.
- Management of access permissions.
- Separation of administrative duties such as maintenance, security and network management at the data center.
- Logs of all access to cloud resources. The logs should be able to integrate with the company's on-premises log management, security information or event management systems.
- Restricted access to sensitive management tools by CSP. This includes backup and recovery tools, data migration tools and live workload snapshot tools.
- Secure management for all images snapped by data migration or snapshotting tools.
Know How Encryption Affects Applications and Database Functions
Businesses need to know how encryption affects functions like searching, indexing and sorting. Advanced searching functions including substring matching functions and wildcarding functions ("ends with" or "contains") should be of particular interest. Also, if the CSP offers encryption that preserves these functions, certain regulations may apply. For example, standardized and approved algorithms or proof of independent certification may be necessary.
Because of cloud security concerns, only one out of five companies use external cloud services for critical functions. Something to remember is while CSPs see attacks mounted against clients in their infrastructures, but they also use the data from these attacks as learning tools for protecting other clients. External cloud infrastructure can provide valuable cost-cutting and scaling services for businesses, as long as businesses ensure CSPs follow tight procedures for data encryption.

From 3quarksdaily:
Returning home from China in 1292 CE, Marco Polo arrives on the Coromandel Coast of India in a typical merchant ship with over sixty cabins and up to 300 crewmen. He enters the kingdom of the Tamil Pandyas near modern day Tanjore, where, according to custom, 'the king and his barons and everyone else all sit on the earth.' He asks the king why they 'do not seat themselves more honorably.' The king replies, 'To sit on the earth is honorable enough, because we were made from the earth and to the earth we must return.' Marco Polo documented this episode in his famous book, The Travels, along with a rich social portrait of India that still resonates with us today:
The climate is so hot that all men and women wear nothing but a loincloth, including the king-except his is studded with rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other gems. Merchants and traders abound, the king takes pride in not holding himself above the law of the land, and people travel the highways safely with their valuables in the cool of the night. Marco Polo calls this 'the richest and most splendid province in the world,' one that, together with Ceylon, produces 'most of the pearls and gems that are to be found in the world.'

Kings fans, who will you root for once the Anaheim move is done? (self.SacramentoKings)
submitted 3 years ago by EvanConover
First things first, my condolences to all of you for losing a beloved team that few know are beloved in the first place. It's another unfair business decision out of greed by the idiot Maloofs.
With that out of the way, will you guys continue to root for the Royals in Anaheim? Will you jump ship to the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trailblazers, or Utah Jazz?
[–]mike_burck 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago
The first thing I will root for is the financial demise of both David Stern and the Maloof family.
I probably will not care about the NBA very much.
If I had to pick a team, it would probably be OKC. I have been a huge fan of Kevin Durant for years, and I love the team that they're building down there. My fanship will only be casual though... I really don't see myself watching much professional basketball.
[–]rsheldon7 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
....really? OKC? You don't see the irony here?
[–]EvanConover[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
He didn't say he has an attachment to Seattle.
[–]pejasto 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
I will.
I'm actually from Southern California (though don't live there anymore), so the location wasn't ever really an issue for me. I've been following the arena situation for years though and, from my Sacto friends, it sounds like people don't actually blame the Maloofs for wanting to leave Arco/Power Balance. Sounds different here. Anyone care to explain why?
[–]hipnerd 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Sacred City Derby Girls. Roller derby all the way. The NBA can stuff it.
[–]lukemcr 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
I'll root for the players down in Anaheim, if that's where they move. I won't root for the team though. Tyreke and Demarcus are quality individuals, as are everyone else on the Kings right now. I wish them the best.
Team-wise, I guess I'd say the Warriors? They're the closest, and I like the idea of being a fan of a team I could relatively easily go see play.
[–]faffo 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
as an LA kings fan it makes no difference to me if they are in sactown or anaheim, i still cant afford tickets, but id rather have them in a loving home like sactown, vegas, or seattle, i used to like the maloofs, fuck those guys
[–]sdub 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
Woohoo! Kings aren't going anywhere this year! If the Kings were to leave down the road and become the Anaheim Royals, I would not be a fan...
[–]PrivateMajor 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
Woah, talk about commenting late!
Isn't that how the Kings subreddit works? Comment months and months after the relevancy is gone?
[–]KlirisChi 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago
Since I'm from Southern California, I'll still root for the Kings :P
[–]likeaboss408 -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago
Ill be a Kings fan. the franchise has moved a lot so I wont switched teams. but i dont like the move

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told a small group of disabled residents last week that he's building a program that would authorize qualified citizens to issue tickets to drivers who illegally park in designated handicapped spaces.
"I personally think it's pretty appalling that people park in these spaces who don't need them," Gualtieri said to a group of eight people, some with limited vision and mobility, at a recent American with Disabilities Act Advisory Committee meeting at in Dunedin.
Residents had complained a month earlier that the law wasn't being enforced. Committee chairman John Espey invited Gualtieri to address the group's concerns at its Feb. 24 meeting.
The interim Pinellas County sheriff, wearing a white dress shirt and tie, promised that within the next 30 days, he would be ready to roll out a structured training program for citizen patrol groups that puts handicapped parking enforcement in their hands.
"I'm a big believer in getting things done," Gualtieri said. "We don't need to meet and talk, meet and talk."
Gualtieri said he would likely model the initiative after existing citizen patrol programs and that local municipalities would get a percentage of the revenue generated from fines.
Greg Rice, planning and development director for the city, was in attendance at the meeting. He mentioned he would probably send members of the citizen patrol out in pairs to minimize safety concerns.
Gualtieri took office in November after Sheriff to care for his ailing wife. Gualtieri has 20 years of service with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and is up for election Nov. 6.
He will face former longtime sheriff Everett Rice, Randy Heine, Tim Ingold and Scott Swope in the election.
A nonpartisan sheriff's candidate forum is scheduled at the on Douglas Avenue from 7-9 p.m. April 18. Residents are asked to email questions for the candidates in advance to email@example.com.

The official birthday of Candlewood Lake was September 28 and its 83 years old! It is a beautiful resource and landmark which was once described as Connecticut's Lake George.
In celebration of the birthday, I have a selection of Candlewood Lake memories I've found through the years. The piece in the nicest condition is a pamphlet from the Candlewood Lake Club on the Brookfield/New Milford border. This was billed as a select colony that required approval by a board before you could buy or build. This pamphlet was one of two I found in a northern New Milford estate sale.
The other brochures are part of a larger story of which this article will be considered part 1, but it all started with a small Craig's List ad, a nearly empty house in Danbury, a dumpster and one phrase, "Make an offer." As a result I was welcomed into the childhood home of three brothers who were cleaning it out and selling it for their invalid father.
When a family decides to clean house I know from experience that very little is saved, as one of the brothers said to me as he tossed items in a dumpster, "Where are going to you put it all?" I know he was speaking rhetorically but it didn't stop me from trying to answer by putting at least some of it in my car. I came away with several photo albums and an entire suitcase of memories and sympathy for a nice family with a difficult task.
It was at the bottom of the old suitcase that I found the two other brochures (pictured) — Candlewood Isle in New Fairfield and Birch Groves in New Milford. Two very nice and established communities today, but back in the early '30s it was a developer's feast to take this new lake and split up every parcel and offer it as a vacation spot. Many New York and New England residents with a little bit of money and a vacation home on their wish list visited, explored, toured and decided to buy.
Take a look at more from the pages from these brochures and enjoy views of this Connecticut lake when it was surrounded mostly by woodland and pasture.

Rock Hill High senior Jaylen Reid will cap an excellent basketball season with a pair of All-Star game appearances in the coming weeks. Saturday, Reid will suit up for South Carolina in the 16th annual Carolinas All-Star Basketball Classic in Myrtle Beach. The Palmetto State's 10 all-stars will take on a very strong North Carolina team at 8:30 p.m.
"For basketball, this is the Shrine Bowl basically, at least the basketball part of it," said Rock Hill coach Eric Rollings. "This is a huge honor. To be considered one of the top-10 in South Carolina is a huge, huge honor for him and his family as well."
Reid traveled down to the beach on Wednesday ahead of Thursday and Friday practices with his new teammates.
"It's exciting, something I've always wanted to do," Reid said earlier this week. "It's always good to play with other great players."
An all-state selection by the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association, Reid shot 48 percent from the field and 44 percent from beyond the arc, en route to scoring 16 points and grabbing nine rebounds and two steals per outing. The 6-foot-7, 190-pound wing helped the Bearcats knock off defending state champion Gaffney in the state playoffs, Rock Hill's first postseason appearance in three years.
All of the participants in the Carolinas Classic were selected by the coaching staffs- Gaffney's Mark Huff and Keenan's Zach Norris in South Carolinas' case. For Reid, the game offers a late appearance in front of college coaches. He has offers from High Point, Kent State, Appalachian State, Tennessee State, Radford, Delaware State, Southeast Missouri and Winthrop, as well as interest from a slew of other Division I schools.
"Hopefully there will be some schools there that will get another look at him," said Rollings. "I think he's got a tremendous upside to him. He's gotten better over the last two years for us and has really improved his upside. I think he'll be a really, really good college basketball player."
City Vs. State All-Star game
Reid will also play in the City Vs. State All-Star game March 30 at Benedict College, a contest that will pit standout prep players from Columbia against all-stars from the rest of South Carolina. South Pointe's P.J. Heath and Rock Hill's Roderick Howell will join the State all-stars. Former Lancaster star and current Oak Hill Warrior Sindarius Thornwell is also expected to play for the state team. South Pointe's Melvin Watson will coach that squad.

US Judge Bars Witness Whose Name Was Revealed in CIA Interrogation
Posted Oct 6, 2010 11:37 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A federal judge has delayed a major terrorism trial to give the government time to regroup after barring a major witness from testifying for the prosecution.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan barred the witness in the case against Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, who is accused of conspiring in embassy bombings that killed 224 people in Kenya and Tanzania, the New York Times reports. Ghailani had revealed the name of the witness while he was being subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques" in a secret CIA prison overseas, the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) reports.
Kaplan ruled minutes before the trial was scheduled to begin, the Times says. Ghailani is the first Guantanamo detainee to face trial in the United States, according to the Wall Street Journal. The trial is now scheduled to resume Tuesday.
"The court has not reached this conclusion lightly," Kaplan said in his order. "It is acutely aware of the perilous nature of the world in which we live. But the Constitution is the rock upon which our nation rests. We must follow it not only when it is convenient, but when fear and danger beckon in a different direction. To do less would diminish us and undermine the foundation upon which we stand."
Kaplan pointed out that Ghailani is an enemy combatant, and the government would likely be able to detain him, even if he is found not guilty, until U.S. hostilities with al-Qaida and the Taliban end.

Ever become so obsessed with something that it's all you talk about to your friends and family? An obsession with mind altering substances and experimental states of consciousness drove apart psychologist Edward Jessup's marriage. The obsession even caused a close friend of Jessup's to question the psychologist's mental stability.
Home Theater Forum's Cameron Yee reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
A few moments of softness look like focusing errors, but the picture appears free of artifacts from digital noise reduction or sharpening measures.
Low frequency effects are non-existent, but the track exhibits pleasing depth and range throughout.

Shop Talk
Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Have a flu shot, spend some more
Check out the impact of signs the U.S. flu season may be weaker this year.
Drug stores such as Walgreen, CVS and Rite Aid are offering flu shots earlier and more conveniently to keep sales from slumping with no expected H1N1 outbreak this year along the lines of last year.
Last year, consumers came for flu shots and bought other items as well, but those related sales could suffer this year. Walgreen, for example, said lower demand for flu-related prescriptions cut 0.3 percentage point from its same-store sales growth in August.
This year, drug stores began promoting flu shots in late August, a week earlier than last year.
Making it tougher for drug stores are rivals like grocery stores (Supervalu and Kroger), and big-box retailers (Target) have been offering flu shots as well.
Even CEOs don't make the top of the H1N1 list
If anyone knows about the demand for flu-related products, it's Kimberly-Clark Chairman and CEO Thomas Falk.
Falk's company sells everything from Kleenex tissues — which aren't seeing such hot sales as people have fewer sniffles — to N95 respirator masks, which are a top seller right now.
Check Out Line: Flu vaccinations aid drugstores
Check out Walgreen's sales growth.
Walgreen Co, the largest U.S. drugstore chain, said on Friday that September sales at its stores open at least one year rose 5.3 percent, thanks to in-store flu vaccinations and people filling more 90-day prescriptions.
Sales of general merchandise, which consumers have been shying away from in past months, also rose for the first time since May for Walgreen.
The flu frenzy has begun
People have been worried about the H1N1 flu, aka swine flu, for months but the vaccine for that flu is not expected until at least mid-October.
So, for the time being, we're taking a look at how the three major U.S. drugstore chains are preparing for the seasonal flu, which is responsible for about 36,000 deaths in the United States each year.

|The sculpture created by UTPA student Ramiro Pena stands outside the UTPA chapel on campus. It and other sculptures that were produced during a summer sculpture class taught by art department lecturer Douglas Clark will be on display until the fall semester begins.
The water represents the opportunities ahead as you graduate and the encouraging moments in life that propel you forward, explained Pena, 39, the married father of two children and a former draftsman who worked for 18 years at Magic Valley Electric Cooperative.
"The water represents the optimism of getting a college education and for me, providing a better place for my family," he said.
Pena and a number of Clark's other students were able to put their final projects on display across campus this summer and through the first week of the Fall 2011 semester.
|A student team of three women in a summer session sculpture class learned to weld and use a cutting torch to create the pictured sculpture on display near the campus cafeteria.
"At the end of the class they had over 100 designs on paper. They stepped up and they did it. It's about thinking about design. Don't stop at the first design, keep exploring. The further you explore the more you find," Clark said.
The second part of their project was to pick one of their designs and produce it using any materials they could think of. Pena worked with a local company on a coating he used on the Styrofoam components of his sculpture and recycled its base from previous projects. A larger than life water fountain displayed outside the library made use of a huge metal dish on loan from the Habitat for Humanity Restore store. Clark said he was pleased with their creations.
|A sculpture emitting a spray of water known to this student artist as "Bronc Breeze" is one of many on display this summer on campus. View others in the Fine Arts Complex fountain circle, outside the UTPA Library, in front of the campus cafeteria, and outside the ITT Building.
"Some tried to make something that is absolutely opposite of what you would think would be concerned with water. One student did an electrical receptacle with water coming out of it. A three-girl team did the one in front of the cafeteria. They had never welded or used a cutting torch and they just got after it and got the job done," he said.
Pena said the fact that their project would be on display put an added pressure on the students, however, it turned out to be a positive one.
"As artists, there has to be a time to show yourself and open yourself to the public to see what they think. I've gotten very good response from other people, my fellow art students and that kind of feels good. It adds to your motivation and confidence," he said.
Pena said when he sees parents and their children during summer orientations stopping to look at his sculpture, he hopes they see in it what he does.
"Hopefully, they will walk away from it with thinking they can make a life at Pan Am and a better future for their family," he said. Go to the UTPA Department of Art website to learn more about their programs.

These divorce gift ideas will help your friend see divorce as a beginning, not just an ending.
My most popular Quips and Tips article is How to Let Go of Someone You Love - because that's one of the hardest things we'll ever have to do.
If you know someone going through a divorce, give a gift that symbolizes letting go, healing, and hope. It's also important to remember that no matter how bad the marriage was, the divorce is painful and heartbreaking.
People with a dark sense of humor may find that The Ex Kitchen Knife Set by Raffaele Iannello is exactly what they need! It's a knife holder designed not only to hold knives, but to remind people going through a divorce that they're not alone….and make them smile every time they put their knives away.
Here are a few more gift ideas for people going through a separation or divorce after years of marriage…
Gift Ideas for Someone Getting Divorced
Sometimes a finalized divorce is a reason to celebrate; other times it's a sad, unhappy day. The most important tip for buying gifts for people going through divorce is to suss out how they feel about it. Are they relieved and happy, or depressed and scared? They may be a bit of both.
Last Christmas I gave a friend going through a divorce a beautiful coffee mug that said "Love" on it. I never felt good about giving her that gift, and I still don't! I wish I had given her a mug with the word "Faith" or "Hope" or "Believe" on it.
Gifts that bring hobbies back to life
"Often after separation and divorce, significant healing results from re-discovering hobbies and interests that were somewhat sacrificed during the marriage," write Dineane in Gifts for the Recently Separated or Divorced. "What are their interests? Golf, jewelry making, art? Give supplies to encourage development of their talents."
This is a really thoughtful divorce gift idea – even if it's too soon for your friend to jump back into his or her hobbies. Just having that calligraphy set or knitting needles and yarn can give them hope and help them look forward to the future.
Books or movies to help heal broken hearts
As a writer, my first instinct is to turn to books whenever I need help, information, or support! Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow by Elizabeth Lesser describes how loss and difficult events can bring positive life changes. A thoughtful gift like this can help someone going through a divorce only heal, but see the big picture.
When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chodrin is a similar book, but it's filled with Buddhist teachings about mindfulness, hope, and healing.
"Feel good" movies that soothe broken hearts include Ghost and Legally Blonde, but Under the Tuscan Sun and Eat Pray Love are better divorce movies because the women go on to have adventures! They don't just sit around and wait for their hearts to heal. If you want to encourage and inspire someone who has just broken up with someone they love, you might steer them towards movies and things that show them that life isn't over.
Comforting blankets, pajamas, and fleece throws
When my grandma died, all I wanted to do was sleep. A friend gave me a soft, warm, cuddly fleece throw – and I loved curling up with it. A thoughtful divorce gift is a super soft fleece blanket – along with a movie or book.
If it's summertime, a nice pair of silk pajamas is a thoughtful gift for someone who is sleeping alone after her divorce. In the winter, warm fuzzy pj's would be great – or a nice soft pair of slippers.
A pink tool kit for women
How about a power tool for women who now have to "do it themselves"?
Here's what Elle says:
"Tool sets for women are a fantastic gift for the strong, independent divorcee who is ready to take control when her man has either fallen off or is nonexistent. A woman should always allow a man to help her about the house when he's available, but it should also go without saying that she knows how to wield a screwdriver, hammer a nail or use a wrench for a leaky pipe as well. There's nothing wrong with women learning how to use a tool kit; it's a sign of the times and doesn't make her less feminine. In fact, it might even turn her next boyfriend on to know that she's self-sufficient and can handle her business when he's not around – and even sexier when he realizes she has no problem putting away her little pink or purple tool set (which is super-strong and feminine) to allow the big boys handle the home repair." ~ from Gifts for Divorced Women – Tool Sets as Gifts.
One last gift idea for someone getting divorced
Your time, your listening ear, your shoulder to cry on. Sometimes the most thoughtful gift you can give someone who is separating or divorcing is a cup of coffee and the question, "Tell me the best and worst parts of the relationship that just ended."

Listening without judgment can be the best, most thoughtful gift you ever give to someone going through a divorce.

Will Obama Get a Bounce in the Polls After His Foreign Trip?
So far, the polls don't show him getting a big lift.
The assumption among most observers seems to be that Barack Obama will get a bounce in the polls from his trip to Afghanistan and Iraq, the Middle East, and western Europe. But it's not apparent in the polls that have come in to date. Gallup tracking shows him with a 46 percent-to-42 percent lead, about what he's had since clinching the Democratic nomination June 3. Rasmussen tracking shows him ahead by just 47 percent to 45 percent and the day before had the race at a 46 percent-to-46 percent tie. The Detroit News poll shows Obama leading in Michigan by only 43 percent to 41 percent, and there is some good news for John McCain in the recent Rasmussen poll in Ohio showing McCain ahead 46 percent to 40 percent. This last is a contrast with another poll in Ohio, showing Obama ahead 48 percent to 40 percent, conducted by the North Carolina Democratic firm PPP, whose record this cycle seems to me to have been erratic.
I put more weight on the Rasmussen poll, and I also think there is something to this interesting post from blogger Sean Oxendine saying it is going to be difficult for Obama to carry Ohio. Oxendine is arguing that Obama's weak primary showing in southern and southeastern Ohio will make it hard for him to carry the counties that enabled Democrats Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton to carry the state narrowly in 1976 and 1992. That thought occurred to me on the night of the March 4 Ohio primary, when I noticed that Obama lost Scioto County (Portsmouth, on the Ohio River) by an 81 percent-to-16 percent margin. Carter carried Scioto County 57 percent to 41 percent in 1976, and Clinton carried it 44 percent to 35 percent in 1992.
Related News
If McCain is competitive or leading in economically ailing Michigan and Ohio, something interesting is going on. The old political rule is that economic distress moves voters toward the Democrats. But that may not be operative in Michigan, which John Kerry carried 51 percent to 48 percent, and Ohio, which George W. Bush carried 50 percent to 48 percent. If the polls I cited are correct (and that's an "if," because there are others showing McCain not doing so well in those states), voters in those states have moved toward the Republican nominee or have not moved at all.
Another interesting result from Rasmussen. He now shows that voters believe the United States is winning rather than losing the war on terrorism by a 51 percent-to-16 percent margin. A year ago, in July 2007, the numbers were 36 percent to 36 percent. That's a big change. It could mean that voters will want to continue something like the current approach, which would be good news for McCain. Or it could mean that voters will decide that we don't need to worry about terrorism much anymore, which would be good news for Obama. Stay tuned. I don't think the voters' decision-making process is complete yet.

best ice cream ive had in a while !
I love my cousin's #parrot !
It was an eventful Tuesday morning, and i had just returned from College for a two hour break . Just like any other day , i took off my shoes , stretched my legs on the couch and turned on the t.v. Since the start of the academic year i promised myself not to indulge in Political shows therefore i paid little attention to all the local news channels over the course of two months now. Sports being my true , eternal love, i always switch to those channels which featured any form of sport.
I do not know if it was instinct or curiousity but something in my head told me to turn to the news channel just to see what was happening in the country around. Little did i know that i would read a headline that would send shivers down my spine. Malala Yousef (a 14 year old peace activist, who wrote a diary highlighting her life in Swat amidst the inhumane rule of Taliban) was shot in the head as she was returning home from school !!
I re-read the bold red highlighted headline , to make sure i was right . Indeed my eyesight hadnt deceived me , it was all true , sad but true.
MY first instincts were to call my mother(whom i call 'ami') from the kitchen and tell her haphazzardly what had happened. Her jaw dropped and instantly she raised her hands to the sky and called for the Almighty to save her life . Unable to switch back to my tennis match , i sat on the couch , my cupped hands over my mouth , praying for the life of young Malala .
Shootings and targeted attacks in my country are nothing new , especially on those people who dare to speak the truth . BUt along with every Countryman , i too was under the impression that how could the Taliban be threatened by a fourteen year old school girl ? How much damage could she have done to their already shattered image across the world? Did they have no remorse when approaching a van full of young school girls and targetting the one MAlala they wanted DEAD ?
The only question that arose in my mind after the uneventful tragedy was that , will everyone who voices their opinion against terrorism,extremism etc , be silenced by the Nay -sayers like Malala ? Is this some sort of sign by those cowards who call themselves 'muslims' , for us , the ones who dare to speak ?
How long do we keep quiet and let them control our lives ? Clearly our care-takers (government) dont have the situation under control ! So is it time the army intervened …. So many ideas pass through ones mind but no one is there to answer or solve them…
For now one can only Wait and PRAY for the recovery of Malala . For surely she is a star of my nation, my sister who i havnt met, but the one who has given me strength to speak the Truth !!

Special to the Register
Dr. William A. Browne, 78, passed away Monday evening, November 11, 2013, at the Compassionate Care Center in Richmond.
