In July, 23 students, one teacher and one program assistant from the Clarkstown Central School District (CCSD) will travel to Japan for two weeks for a cultural visit that incorporates sightseeing and volunteer work. This trip was made possible mostly through the efforts of one individual: Eri Sonohara, the program assistant from the Japan Foundation.
"I'm excited," said Sonohara. "I'm happy to take 23 students to Japan to introduce them to my country."
"We got this opportunity because of Eri. She's one of 15 interns that was sent over to the U.S. so we're very lucky to have her," said Akiko Uchiyama, Japanese Teacher at Clarkstown North and South high schools. "Eri began working at CCSD at the beginning of this school year, September 2011. She is planning to continue staying in Clarkstown until the end of next school year, June 2013."
Sonohara is currently staying with a family in West Nyack. Her role at CCSD is more than just an intern because she is an assistant for the Japanese program through a program called J-LEAP.
"For me, Eri is someone I can't ask for more. She is a hard working person who never complains things and she completes job assignments thoroughly," said Uchiyama. "I am very happy to have her in Clarkstown and looking forward to another year working with her. It's wonderful to have another Japanese person in the classroom for all the students and the teacher. I myself learned so much from her."
Uchiyama added that during their July trip, they will be visiting Osaka Yuhigaoka High School, which is the school Sonohara graduated from. Watch the video. Sonohara talks about her high school to Clarkstown parents and students. Check back with Patch to read more about the upcoming trip in July for 23 excited Clarkstown students.

At most universities, freshman chemistry, a class I've taught for nearly 40 years, is the first course students take on the road to a career in the health professions or the biological or physical sciences. It's a tough course, and for many students it's the obstacle that keeps them from majoring in science. This is particularly true for minority students.
In 2005, more than two-thirds of the American scientific workforce was composed of white males. But by 2050, white males will make up less than one-fourth of the population. If the pipeline fails to produce qualified nonwhite scientists, we will, in effect, be competing against the rest of the world with one hand tied behind our backs.

The $10 Million a Minute Tour — headlined by former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker and other national economic experts — will hold a Town Hall in Strongsville from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm on Saturday, Sept. 15.
The Town Hall ties directly into the issues that are a major focus of the U.S. presidential campaign: national debt, social insurance programs, taxes and jobs.
The "Preserving the American Dream: Fiscal Solutions for Our Future" Town Hall will digitally measure public sentiment throughout the event. The audience — a demographically representative group of Ohio voters — will register their opinions on the bus tour's suggested reforms, so their responses to various solutions will be instantly tallied.
The Town Hall is being held in Ohio's 16th District, the state's most hotly contested Congressional District.
Interested registered voters must apply to ensure partipants are demographically and politically representative of the state of Ohio. Two-thirds of those accepted will be residents of the 16th Congressional District.

Midway through his show -- after performing "The Last Worthless Evening" -- Don Henley asked the crowd to stop taking so many pictures of him.
He said that one or two pictures a song was ok, but the crowd was making it their own personal photo gallery. He said it was distracting. Perhaps the numerous strobe lights on the stage were different somehow.

When returns and expectations of returns in the stock market are below historic averages, some investors look to exotic and/or risky alternatives.
Don't let the desire for higher returns cloud your judgment about risk or the appropriateness of the tool.
For example, it is not uncommon for stock brokerages to offer an exotic product that combines risky tools such as futures, forward contracts of some kind and other bright and shiny temptations.
There may be nothing illegal or even unethical about some of these products, however that doesn't mean they are right for you.
The real danger is that investors will buy a product without fully understanding the all of the risks.
One of the more common plans involves options, which are very legitimate financial tools, but should only be used by experienced investors.
Another less common plan, naked short selling, is not only a bad idea for investors, but it is also illegal. However, thanks to an ineffective monitoring system, this practice continues, but often "under the table" or called by another name.
If your image of naked short selling is a group of hedge fund managers sitting around in the nude, I would like to put that disturbing image out of your head.
Naked short selling is an even higher risk version of a legitimate, yet often frowned on, form of market trading.
The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the practice and stepped in to halt short selling of financial stocks during the turbulence following the credit crisis in 2008.
Many blame short sellers for driving down stock prices, although there is little evidence that this is true.
Traditional short selling involves "borrowing" shares of stock you believe is over-priced and headed for a fall.
You sell the borrowed stock and when the price does drop, you buy back shares at the lower price and replace the stock. You have sold high and bought low. The difference is your profit.
Of course, if the stock's price rises instead of falling, you must buy back the stock at a higher price to replace the borrowed shares - you sold low and bought high.
Uses Leverage
Because short selling is done in a margin account, the trader uses leverage to increase profits (or accelerate losses if the trade goes bad).
Naked short selling raises the level of risk and potential reward.
With naked short selling, the trader sells shares they do not own or borrow. Critics claim this type of trade drives down stock prices.
The naked short trader does not plan to deliver the shares she shorted. The idea is to cover the short (buy actual shares on the open market) before the mandatory delivery date of the short sale - usually three business days.
The trader closes out his position by buying the shares on the open market at the lower price and delivering those shares.
When traders use naked short selling to purposely drive down the price of a stock, it is considered market manipulation and is against the law.
Short sellers, naked or otherwise, can get caught at their own game in what is known as a short squeeze.
Rising Share Prices
This happens when the shares of a shorted stock rise instead of falling. Short sellers are forced to buy shares on the open market to cover their position, but if enough short sellers try to buy the same stock it will only push up the price further increasing the loses.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has alternately placed restrictions on short selling and then lifted them. Critics claim the rules are much too loose.
You can count on the subject staying before regulators as long as the markets are volatile.
Short selling and especially naked short selling is not recommended for inexperienced investors. The practice is just short of gambling and that's not the way you want to handle your nest egg.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
International art fair in Milwaukee?
Well, we do sit at the center of North America, the heart of the land, as they say, or so say some local artists, curators and gallery owners who are working to put on the city???s first alternative, international art fair.
From the looks of things, what these art savants have in mind is the kind of fair that typically might be a ???satellite??? to a larger, more established fair like New York???s Armory or Art Basel Miami. Such big fairs are costly to the galleries that partake, galleries that pay high prices for tiny booths which are trolled by collectors with money to burn. The satellite events, like Scope or DiVA in New York or Chicago???s now defunct Stray Show, though, are more about bringing art and ideas into contact with people (and crossing fingers for sales).
The fair, which has a working title of Milwaukee International is tentatively scheduled for October, may not be a done deal, but those who are apparently signed on so far are evidence of something new and promising in the making. Local participants include General Store (which closed its physical gallery some time ago), the relatively new Green Gallery, Hermetic (also no longer a physical gallery but a curatorial force, among other things), Jody Monroe and Hotcakes Gallery.
The lead organizers include John Riepenhoff (of Green Gallery), Kiki Anderson (of Jody Monroe), Nicholas Frank (of Hermetic) and Tyson Reeder (of General Store).
From outside the area, the following have apparently said they???d like to come: Gavin Brown???s Enterprise from New York, Angstrom Gallery from Dallas, Jack Hanley from San Francisco, Locust Projects from Miami, Western Exhibitions from Chicago, Galeria Comercial from Puerto Rico and Polvo from Chicago.
It???s hoped, too, that Milwaukee International will feature spaces occupied by participants from Canada, Mexico, China and Japan.
It will be a rare opportunity for Milwaukeeans to experience art in ways they generally don???t here, if this fair comes off as well as it could.
P.S. Speaking of Hotcakes, check out some of the art from the "Exchange" exhibit, which opened over the weekend.

Report from Union Organizer, Rand Wilson: About 80 people attended a public hearing Thursday by the Somerville Board of Alderman on union jobs and local hiring at the . We had a short but spirited rally beforehand.
The MaxPac developers are still refusing to live up to the commitment they made to the City of Somerville to sign a project labor agreement. Somerville can't afford to lose this opportunity to employ local trades, people who desperately need jobs in our community.
There was very strong testimony supporting 100% union labor and an agreement to hire Somerville residents. Some of the people who testified included:
- Mary Jo Connelly, Board member, Somerville Community Corp.;
- Jack Lister, Business Agent, Insulators and Allied Workers Local 6, Somerville resident;
- Matt McLaughlin, Save Our Somerville;
- Marya Axner, Jewish Labor Committee, Somerville resident;
- Mark Niedergang, School Committee member, Ward 5; Jose Leiva, Laborers Local 1441;
- Sarah Shugars, Somerville Ward 5 resident;
- Michael Calder, Business Agent, IBEW Local 103;
- Rose Raymond, Somerville resident;
- Janine Lotti, Board President, Somerville Community Corp.;
- Tom McIntyre, Bricklayers;
- Joel Nitzberg, Somerville Community Corp. board member/unemployed Somerville resident;
- Daisy Vasquez, Somerville resident and former employee of Ames Envelope;
- Marcy Gelb, MassCOSH, Somerville resident;
- Sal Islam, Somerville resident and member of Community Corridor Planning Advisory Team;
- Daniel Parsons, business owner and board president, Somerville Local First;
- Tom Wall, member Insulators and Allied Workers Local 6, Somerville resident; and
- Rand Wilson, Union activist, Somerville resident.
The response from the members of the Board of Alderman who attended was very strong in support of our goals. The developer, KSS Realy, will be called to attend a March 8 meeting to answer questions about why it is not living up to the Covenant. The Board also requested a legal opinion from the city attorney and it would like to have the Mayor address the issue as well. The hearing was called because more than 50 Somerville residents signed a petition requesting it.

Preparing for the Plenary
This Korean bog is so computerized it has an appreciable boot sequence;
brings a whole new meaning to the term core dump
WG 1 met in the morning and its business was mainly consensus-building and drafting on topics already covered, in advance of tomorrows plenary. The plan is to create a new working group dedicated to document interoperability, and many NBs participated in a drafting panel to get the terms of reference for this group just right. There were also liaison statements to be written: to OASIS (concerning ODF maintenance), and to JTC 1 (concerning ODF maintenance) again there was wide interest in making sure these communiqués exactly expressed the consensus International view.
Meanwhile, back in Blighty, our tireless and most excellent experts were scrutinizing the new ISO/IEC 29500 (OOXML) text to ensure all the UKs BRM changes have been properly implemented. Three problems have been found so far and submitted to SC 34 as defect reports. I am sure there will be many more.
Bye bye IBM?
Following the threat made last week by Bob Sutor (VP, Vice President Open Source and Standards, IBM) that IBM would, as its first stated principle,
Begin or end participation in standards bodies based on the quality and openness of their processes, membership rules, and intellectual property policies.
a question being asked along the committee corridors by perplexed NB members is whether IBM has withdrawn its staff from participation SC 34. I have no idea, but IBM people are certainly conspicuous here by their total absence.
In reaction to Bob Sutorss post, the headlines (some from sources who really should know better) suggested that IBM would leave ISO. They can of course do no such thing. IBM is not a member of ISO (or IEC, or JTC 1, or any of its subcommittees) mere vendors are not accorded the privilege of being members of an International organisation; only National Bodies (effectively, countries) are hence the nation in international.
The next steps in IBMs plan is to hold a secret meeting (invitation only; secret member list; opaque funding) to discuss would you believe openness, perhaps before waltzing off to create a brave new standards world in Second Life: maybe there, IBM can be a nation!
For myself I know first-hand that IBM does have some great people who have a lot to bring to International Standardization in all kinds of ways. Indeed IBM has made a historic contribution to SC 34 and its predecessor groups no less a person than Charles Goldfarb, the father of SGML, was himself an IBM man. We need people of that calibre. But even if IBM is blasé about (what might sentimentally be termed) a betrayal of its heritage, they might take a hard-headed look at the benefits of being a full, good-faith player in International Standardization: I wonder how long, especially in these troubled economic times, IBM stockholders are going to tolerate the kind of valueless, out-of-control escapade the company is currently indulging in.

My last article was an explanation of the differences between various computer support options. Along the way there was a pleasant comment regarding my call for people to exercise caution regarding computer security.
That got me thinking: How many of us really know the effects of having our personal data breached? Well, according to a 2010 Federal Trade Commission report, identity theft ranked No. 1 among consumer complaints (ftc.gov/opa/2011/03/topcomplaints.shtm), with more than 250,000.
The data show us that the majority of ID theft, roughly 50 percent, comes from lost or stolen wallets, dumpster diving and people close to the victim. This amounts to about $20,000 per incident, not to mention the mental anguish, business issues, as well as possible family and employment challenges a person will face.
Unsecured documents can take on many forms, including information shared in online: emails, chat rooms, Web storefronts, online gaming, Web email accounts, peer-to-peer file sharing programs, online banking … the list goes on and on.
A few recent examples of the more severe breaches is the Sony PlayStation hack, which resulted in personal data for more than 100 million people being stolen. How about Ford and Experian—both credit companies with databases containing personal financial information?
But, really, one of the most concerning yet easiest ways to get deep personal information was revealed by CBS News a few years ago in a newscast (youtube.com/watch?v=nM6R4gi8Q9Q) that showed how business-grade copy machines store images of files copied.
So what can we do to limit the possibility of our own computers being hacked or someone we know downloading our information to use against us? It starts with an anti-virus program with a firewall, as mentioned in a prior article. There are many great free, as well as subscription, versions.
Next, make sure you are aware of the people using your computer and what they're doing, the websites they're going to and the programs being used. If you bank online either through the computer or your smartphone, make sure to password-protect the computer and phone so if either is stolen, information isn't easily accessible. Also, make sure to change your most critical passwords frequently.
In the end, it may pay to have someone on your side helping to repel the barbarians at the gate. With that in mind, you may want to look into a company that provides identity-theft protection services.

Our media room has some angled ceiling lines due to the roof lines of the house. The angled ceiling is not prohibitive, but it means I will have to either 1) hang the screen from the angled ceiling or 2) build a false wall that is ~12" deep (this is a guesstimate at this point) to hang the screen on. For this discussion, let's assume the screen would be ~12" from the back wall if I hung it from the angled ceiling. Painting the wall behind the screen a darker color would not be a problem. Two crappy phone pics are included below to help, but you get the gist.
I am fine with either method, so I am more interested in hearing what pros and cons there are to these two approaches. The first concern is performance - I am still learning if one method or the other would yield better visual results. Second is aesthetics, which is more personal preference. Would the false wall approach look more clean and "professional"? I have all the tools and know how to make a proper false wall if I go that route. But I don't want to do more work than is necessary if hanging the screen from the ceiling will get the job done.
As far as the room specs go, it is 14' wide by 18' deep, all walls are currently painted in a flat "medium" brown color, the carpet is a dark brown, projector will be ceiling mounted, it is 100% light controlled.
I have been lurking and reading/learning for a while now and this site is great, so thanks in advance!
Hanging, what I assume, will be a fixed frame screen will still need to be somehow secured from the sides or bottom to keep it from swinging/moving.
My vote is false wall. Just build the "H" frame and the panel frames. There is no need to build a true wall.

If you're going to construct a screen anything like mine (which hangs in front of my existing 60" Kuro) and hang it similarly, the first thing you'll notice is that between the sheer mass of the screen and the nature of the hooks that fasten it to the ceiling, you'll have to go out of your way to get it to sway, never mind the fact that people really shouldn't be much closer than 10' from it (in most apps) in the first place.
I can only speak for my application...I'm certain others have (no offense) employed much less successful methodologies/designs.

See my thread for its construction: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1458413/for-folks-on-the-diy-screen-fence-my-64-free-floating-build
Basically: a 1x3" frame (you may want to go with 1X4"s if it's much larger than my 84" job) with corner and mid braces. Then a sheet of hardy board (you can pick up at any lowes or home depot) affixed to the front-side. Very rigid apparatus when it's all done. Simply sanded and painted the front side for the screen surface and added the 2" velvet border and matte black painted trim.
I have an older home with a VERY thick plaster/drywall ceiling so I went with 4" long eyelets and then cut the eyelet into a hook (you CANNOT find long, narrow HOOKS ANYWHERE, I tried)...the top of the screen frame has heavy duty eyelets anchored into either side. All painted white, obviously.
My images look fantastic and I've yet to see a retail screen that nearly sways me enough to spend the cash. Perhaps a new, dedicated space will change my mind.
Good luck.

A Supporter's Open Letter to HIllary (draft)
by 1950democrat, Sat May 10, 2008 at 05:06:20 PM EDT
(I've missed the last few days. I'm sputtering mad. I'm not sure what Obama is trying to pull, but at the moment I'm in a mood to meet simplicity with simplicity.)
Dear Hillary,
I'll support you through Denver and through however many legal challenges and Eagleton revelations you might think of after Denver if Denver is idiotic enough to nominate Obama.
Pls do go 'nuclear' May 31, including enforcing the DNC rule that says Obama gets NONE of his Florida delegates because he violated the no-campaigning pledge.
Where I wll NOT follow you is into the Obama camp.

You can work out the energy density of any given food by dividing the number of calories by the number of grams. To use two of Dr. Rolls' examples, if a 28g serving of a reduced-fat cheese stick is worth 60 calories, its energy density would be 2.1 (60 divided by 28). A 33g serving of salsa worth 15 calories yields an energy density of less than 1 (15 divided by 33). The lower the number, the better the food, and the more of it you can consume without gaining weight. A food that is high in energy density has a large number of calories in a small amount of food. A food that has a low energy density has fewer calories for the same weight of food. Dr. Rolls says that this matters because we tend to eat roughly the same weight of food each day, regardless of the number of calories. If we can choose foods that offer fewer calories for the same amount of food, we will be able to manage our weight more effectively without going hungry. (see more below ...)
Would we feel fuller on 2 cups of grapes or 1/4 cup of raisins? One is simply a dried version of the other. They are worth the same number of calories (about 100 calories) but see how many more grapes you can eat? Water has weight but no calories. As a rule of thumb, the higher the moisture content of a given food, the lower its energy density, and the more of it you can eat. You will also feel fuller for longer after consuming it. This explains why people who begin their meals with either a salad or soup go on to consume fewer calories over the course of a meal. They become satisfied sooner.
Recognizing that people lead busy lives, she offers 125 quick and easy recipes, including techniques on modifying recipes to include more volumetric foods. Many of her recipes have visual comparisons between a traditional serving of a food or dish and the new, improved volumetric version, which is always bigger. If seeing is believing, then this should persuade us of the merits of the volumetric approach. This book should appeal to anyone trying to manage their weight. It's a sensible, satisfying and sustainable way of eating.

So who else from Ohio got rocked by the hurricane winds on sunday? I know quite a few people on here live in Columbus / Cinncinati / Dayton
We had over 700,000 people without power the first 2 days and they said it was about 2 million people across ohio without power.
I finally got mine back today after 4 days without it, pretty harsh to just completely stop. Compared to the southern states and texas we got off pretty lightly, we didnt get flooded or anything and some places were still open but it's pretty scary to experience
Was pretty wierd to see people just wander around like zombies with no idea what they should do, like 1 in 20 gas stations were open, lines at the few fast food places was 1 hour minimum at any time of day, people were looting, every traffic signal was broken, power lines down everywhere even on peoples houses with live wires starting fires and they couldnt even call it in unless there cell phone still had some juice left. Then when it finally stops people work together to help clear the debris and then those real dirtbag people come out and offer to cut trees for money upfront and then run off or they hurt themselves on people property purposely inorder to sue people. just amazing people do this even after a disaster.
**** happens. I went through those 4 hurricanes in 04, it was just boring. I recall walking through dark ass streets around my neighborhood with my cousin to get to Taco Bell and chill, lol. Fun times.
power was down for 24 hours on my street....
hadda throw most of my fridge stuff out.
most everyone I know took it all in stride.
'In order to alter the inertial mass of weights, you must become one with them, like a machine, the totality of your motion is as one'
I didn't have power for 2 days. Wasn't a real big deal. Since I'm on city water I still had water pressure. We got a bunch of people together and grilled out, played some games etc to pass the time. Once the storm was over we helped each other clean up their lawns and downed trees.
I will say one thing, I'm buying a generator. Thats the kind of thing that when you need it you really need it. I did lose a good amount of meat unfortunatly. ah well, life goes on

I live in south east texas we lost power for 4 days also. I live about 20 minutes from Galveston so we got off pretty well I think.
They reported about 2.2 million center point energy customers down. Thats gone down signifigantly since then but that was the high point.

Yeah, the local Honda dealership sells some pretty good ones. Much as I don't particularly care for honda cars, you really can't beat their utility motors
I have electric heat, but I got to thinking that if this had happened during the winter I'd really be up a creek. Plus I want to be able to run my fridge and freezer. Just the important stuff.

Getting To Know You
May 17, 2007
This is the second post in a series "that will attempt to define relationships and how each of us, as men and women, have come to develop certain expectations when it comes to those relationships. We will look at the baggage we all carry, be it from the past or baggage that comes from certain expectations and assumptions about what the future holds."
In our first post on relationships, Friends First, Friends Forever, we discussed platonic friendship and how that kind of friendship can enhance a close, intimate and physical relationship.
Of course, being a friend means a lot more than lending someone your car or helping them move across town. Those kind of of things are easy expressions of friendship. Lending someone a few possessions or a few hours is a nice thing to do, kind even, but that in no way is a measure of real friendship. The more profound aspects of friendship are more sublime, because those more sublime aspects of friendship are measured by how you give of yourself. In order to really give of yourself, you must really know yourself.
There are many people who recognize themselves in the mirror. They know how to look attractive to members of the opposite sex, or how to be charming, or how to be be a sparkling conversationalist. Many of those same people don't have a clue as to who they really are. They think they are who they see in the mirror. They believe they are identifiable by their jobs, possessions, choice of music, books or political ideologies.
If you identify yourself by external ideas and trappings, chances are you have no idea who you are. If you have no idea who you are, you cannot possibly be a good friend, because you don't have the capacity to give of a part of yourself you aren't familiar with. You can't have an intimate relationship with anyone else if you aren't intimate with yourself.
The perceptions we have of ourselves, and how we project those perceptions, are not necessarily who we are. Sometimes those perceptions are self deluding and so far off the mark, they become toxic. 'I am a failure. No one could possibly love me if they knew me. I chase love away,' are a few of those self deluding perceptions. There are many people who believe those perceptions- not because they reflect reality, but rather, because they reflect how little an individual might know him or herself.
All of us know loss, separation, hurt and failure. If we allow ourselves to be enslaved to those things, we are limit our possibilities. If we reflect back and say, "If only I had done this, I could have prevented that," or "If only I had recognized the signs, I would have known," we assign ourselves a power we do not have. We cannot control our world single handedly. We cannot change the events over which we had no control or we did not cause, or events in which others made the wrong choice. We are not all powerful. We have all been influenced by our past experiences, but those experiences are not the road map of our destiny. We choose that destiny more often than not.
To reflect back on events in the past and events and choices over which we had no control is to hobble the future. Imagine a walking around with a mirror in front of you, all the time. Imagine there were two small holes at eye level that let you see out just far enough so you would at least know in which direction you are headed.
If you don't know who you are, it is inevitable that you will define yourself by what you see in the mirror and not by how others see you. The past too, is reflected back. With so much to look at, there isn't much of a visible future.
Who you will be is reflected by the future choices you make. Who you will become will not be authored by others or by the opinions of others. If you believe that your life and existence are meaningful, life can be very rich indeed.
Our identity as individuals and within a collective, are determined by the choices we make. The choices we make says a lot about who we are , how we regard ourselves and where we are going. To attract the people we want and need in our lives, we need to be in close proximity to them, by virtue of the choices we make. That proximity is determined by the choices we make. For example, we can choose to surround ourselves with people who have a negative influence or we can choose to surround ourselves with people we admire, look up to and elevate us.
Healthy self esteem comes about as the result of great efforts in the expression of our humanity and acts of selflessness. Healthy people feel good about themselves because of the efforts and inclusiveness they extend toward others. Our efforts to do good are the direct result of choices we make. Real self esteem is reinforced with every act of selflessness. Our heroes and the people we look up to, all have that in common, too.
We wrote, in A World Without You In It,
…we suffer a kind of debilitating malaise- "Nothing I do or say really matters." There is the belief that whether or not we contribute anything to the the world and those around us, the world would be no different. It is the 'my vote doesn't really count' school of thought. No matter our efforts, nothing will ever really change.
If you truly believe that your efforts and contributions are meaningless, can you really know and have passion? What can you truly look forward to, what will truly excite you? To what can you truly be committed? Will you ever know that 'fire in the belly'?
Of course, that way of thinking is skewed. You matter because you were born. For those of you that believe in God, man's destiny is waiting to be written by virtue of your efforts and passions. For those of you that do not believe in God, the power and potential of man is in your hands. This means that your very existence is vital. You are indispensable to mankind.
What notes will you choose to play in the symphony of life? Will you add to the music, or will your efforts be lacking, resulting in a hollowness?
Many people have had the great misfortune of growing up in less than ideal, or even dysfunctional families. There is no question that many of us, in one form or another, carry a certain amount of 'baggage.' That truth begs another question: "Is my worth based on whether or not I was valued at home by my immediate family, is it based on my achievements, or, do I matter because I exist?"
The almost universal knee jerk reaction is, "Of course I matter! My family, friends and community value and love me!"
Now, ask yourself again, that initial question- would it make a difference if you were never born? Would those around you be poorer for not knowing you?
In fact, you do matter. Not because of your wealth or looks, or productivity or great ideas. You matter because you were born- and because of the potential contributions you might make in that symphony of life. In fact, there are those notes that only you can play. You are irreplaceable. Just ask those people who love you and care for you. It is incumbent upon you to contribute to their lives and their well being. That in fact, is the greatest of destinies- to transform and make better, those around you. If you can do that, you will have changed lives, forever.
Once you understand those truths, that you know that you and what you contribute are essential to the wellbeing of others, the passion and fire cannot be extinguished.
There is much tragedy and suffering in this world. If every person understood that they matter, their lives matter and the notes they play matter, they would come to understand that they are indispensable and of great value.
People who believe and know they matter are capable of great things.
The search for meaning is a call for an audit of our attitudes, biases, values, hopes and dreams. That 'inner audit' has to be done in the context of our relationships with others, how we see ourselves and even our own closely held beliefs. Our existence as we and others relate to it, is really no more than a manifestation of our inner selves. Virtually every problem we face is the conflict between our 'inner' and 'outer,' or manifested, selves. Reality is the expression on canvas of our 'inner' and 'outer' selves.
Your friends know who you are. Ask them to be honest and to highlight the good and not so good. You can't fix a leaky roof if you don't where the leak is.
Who you are is about more than a personality inventory. As we have noted, you are what what you share of yourself. Are you handy around the house? Are you generous with your time in helping others? Are you a good cook? Being a friend is not just about being there and being relatively passive until called upon. Being a friend, a really good friend, is about being involved and anticipating how to be meaningful to another. Being a friend is a lot like being an attentive lover, only clothed. if you can't be a friend with your pants on, you aren't really all that in the bedroom. Sexual attraction emerges from the real intimacy and insights of real friendship.
Lots of people have dismissed the idea of friendship as a necessary ingredient for a successful romantic relationship. What those people usually have in common is a track record of failed relationships. Some people just have a hard time learning and accepting the lessons that more times than not, keeping one's pants on for a little why longer is usually a good idea. Sex is not a substitute for real intimacy, nor is at shortcut that brings people closer together. Sex without real intimacy (and not hoped for intimacy) is a mechanical exercise that is designed to be physically pleasurable (hopefully). That's it. If that is all you want, more power to you. Just don't be surprised when down the road, you run into someone who doesn't think like you. There are a lot of people who don't believe that having sex is like shaking hands. Sexual needs are not the same as emotional needs.
Even if you don't fully buy into the idea, pretend you do and give it a try. Actions and behaviors change people As a rule, no one has ever wished they had jumped into the sack earlier. If the subject of sex comes up (and it will!), change the topic. "Tell me a bit more about you," is the perfect segue into a conversation that can only enhance a friendship. If it doesn't, the handwriting is on the wall as far as that relationship goes.
None of this is to say that sex is not an integral part of a relationship. Clearly, it is. Nevertheless, sexual availability is not the same as sex within the confines of a loving relationship. There are distinct differences. Pleasure is not as profound as joy and being spent is not the same as feeling sated and fulfilled. The mechanics are the same, but the satisfaction derived from the relationships are very different.
When nature- that is, a deep seated need that humans have to truly bond with one another in an emotionally intimate way, is not allowed to take it's course, the physical intimacy will be found lacking and hollow.
Tomorrow, we will discuss the steps to take that can and will make a difference in developing a healthy relationship. Time to tilt the odds in your favor.

On the heels of last week's monthly meeting of the county's fiscal court, Judge-Executive Mickey Garner held a press conference last Friday concerning some of the topics at that meeting, including talk of an alcohol administrator and an ordinance setting fees and taxes to be collected as well as his relationship with County Attorney Mark McGaha, with whom he had words with early last week over those aforementioned issues.
"I did say some things I shouldn't have said as far as the language I used," Garner said of his confrontation with McGaha. "I don't deny that, I did do it but there was more to the story."
McGaha said last week the two were differing on the issue of the ordinance and the Alcoholic Beverage Control administrator's position.
Last week, the county attorney said his position was that the administrator can not approve applications inside the city.
Garner said he repeatedly asked McGaha what "his (expletive) job was" during last week's verbal exchange that resulted from a call to Garner from an unnamed local radio personality about a call that the personality had received from McGaha the Friday before the argument.
In that call, Garner said the radio personality told him McGaha said there were legal problems with the ordinance and that if the fiscal court and judge-executive acted on it they would be "doing themselves in."
"So yes, after I got that phone call I was very upset," Garner said. "If I feel like somebody is not doing what they're supposed to be doing, whether it is a magistrate, a road foreman or whatever I'll go to them and tell them, that's my job."
Garner said he had also had some problems with McGaha in the past where he felt like McGaha should have represented the fiscal court and instead sent one of his assistants. Garner said that representing the fiscal court in legal matters is what McGaha is paid his county salary to do.
Last week, McGaha also said that aside from the issue of the "moist" vote, there is the fact that it is the city's right to regulate businesses in the city, not the county's business to do so.
Garner said he was upset with McGaha's actions of taking the "moist" vote issue to the appellant court in Frankfort and not notifying him or the county clerk of the impending legal action he was set to take and using their names on the appeal. That action was later denied, as was an earlier appeal to the circuit judge, and the vote went on as planned on November 24.
"I felt like he was using it as a political game," Garner said. "I still think it is a political game to him and I don't like political games, I never have, I do like my job but I do not like that stuff."
In explaining the ordinance, Garner said officials in Frankfort told him that if the county did not adopt an ordinance, that would not stop businesses from applying for and receiving alcohol licenses. Without an ordinance, businesses applying for licenses would apply directly to the ABC in Frankfort instead of with the county.
Garner's emphasized again Friday that the ABC would start issuing licenses 60 days after the vote, based on their own interpretation, and that if the county did not have an ordinance in place it would not be able to collect the six percent surcharge on the gross receipts on all alcoholic beverage sales.
"Seventy-five percent of that the tourists would be paying," Garner said. "We were looking out for the best interests of the county."
A call to the ABC confirmed Garner's point on the ordinance. Janet Williams, an assistant director in the ABC's licensing division, and ABC General Counsel Peter Irvin both confirmed that if no ordinance was passed or administrator appointed by the county within 60 days of a valid election, businesses could apply directly to ABC for the chance to serve.
"We don't think that's necessarily a good idea," Irvin said. "It causes (the county) to lose revenue that (it) can collect by issuing a license. Unfortunately for us, there are things (the county) knows about applicants that we can't know about applicants in terms of their character within the community and in terms of location."
The ABC would then have to investigate all applicants to determine whether or not they would be able to serve based on their location and restaurant criteria.
The issue of the boundaries still seems to be in question to most.
Some believe that the No vote in Jamestown is controlling in the city limits, while the Jamestown and Lake Precincts' Yes vote outside the city limits pertains only to the areas of the precincts outside the city limits.
The other held opinion is that the precincts each voted to be wet, and they hold that a precinct can not be divided part-wet, part-dry, therefore all of Lake and Jamestown Precincts would be wet and that includes those parts of the precincts within the city.
Any vote on the issues was delayed until the January 11 meeting of the fiscal court when ABC officials would be present, or earlier if guidance can be obtained from Frankfort on the issue.
Garner said he was effectively washing his hands of the ordinance issue and that if it were to come up again, county magistrates or citizens would have to do so.

Lenders have waived interest coverage and leveraged ration requirements for the fiscal fourth quarter ending Dec. 28. Debt covenants had similarly been waived for the third quarter because of the difficult retail environment. Other covenants have been extended through the close of the first quarter of 2003.

While most gyms seek to build muscles, Fitness for Health in Rockville aims to also build confidence and self-esteem.
Marc Sickel founded the gym 23 years ago as a creative approach to help special needs children and adults. provides multi-sensory and individualized programs for children and adults with varying skill levels. Its equipment is designed to help those with coordination and motor delays, autism, ADHD/ADD and other learning disabilities, weight management and self-esteem issues. Personal trainers also use the equipment to work with adults struggling to get back to health and groups seeking a team-building exercise or birthday party.
A fire in the store next door destroyed the gym, at 11140 Rockville Pike, a year ago. Sickel rebuilt the gym, bigger and better than before. The new gym, fitted out with a glow-in-the dark climbing wall and high-tech electronic games, reopened in June.
Instead of rows of treadmills and stationary bicycles, the first thing one sees on entering is a 5-foot wide, 30-foot long trampoline.
Twin brothers D.J. and Matt Ficca, 21, of Chevy Chase, walked merrily back and forth on the trampoline one day last week.
The trampoline works on balance and perception, Sickel said.
The twins, who are highly functioning on the autism spectrum, have been going to Fitness for Health weekly for 8 to 10 years, said Meredith Ficca, their mother.
"They were hyperactive and energetic," she said. "This helped integrating sensory things they were overwhelmed by."
The boys were able to move from special education schools to in Bethesda as a result of the gym and a lot of therapy work, Ficca said. Matt graduated in June and will attend a special program at in the fall. D.J. lost a year of school due to illness and will graduate next June.
The twins work on their gross and fine motor skills in the gym.
From the trampoline, they moved to a XerPro wall, where they ran on soft flooring that was marked to resemble a football field, and threw balls at lighted targets. The wall was originally designed for tennis players working on accuracy, Sickel said.
Next, they moved to the Trazer, which is a floor-sized adaptation of Nintendo Wii-style video games that require players to move their bodies on the floor sensors.
"You've got to make exercise fun," Sickel said.
The gym also features an interactive climbing wall, a glow-in-the dark climbing wall and a laser maze.
D.J. said he liked the sport wall best. Matt said the trampoline, changed his answer to the sport wall, then said, "I like it all."
"A lot of research shows, you take a cognitive component, put it in movement, you increase the learning curve," Sickel said.
Success builds success, he said. By building confidence and self-esteem in children with autism or cerebral palsy, they become willing to take healthy risks, he said.
"The child will not be so consumed with the idea of failure and too anxious to participate," Sickel said.
The gym is open seven days a week. It takes clients by appointment only, except on Friday nights, when the gym is open at a rate of $15 per hour for the first child and $10 for each additional child. Individual instruction costs about $110 for a 50-minute session.

How many times do you eat fish each month? And I don't mean the kind covered in batter from the take out! :-)
Most of us aren't eating enough, particularly the oily varieties.
So, why is oily fish so important?
The benefits come from those lovely omega-3 fatty acids.
These are the 'healthy' fats, which help to protect the body against heart disease. Fatty acids are also thought to be beneficial for healthy joints, brainpower, and easing some of the symptoms of depression, amongst other things.
Today's challenge is to eat some oily fish
You should be aiming for one serving of oily fish, and one serving of white fish per week.
A serving is roughly 100g (4 oz) of fresh, frozen or smoked fish, or 1 small tin of canned fish.
Here are some of the highest sources of omega-3s in the diet:
- Mackerel (fresh or frozen)
- Kippers (fresh or frozen)
- Pilchards (canned in tomato sauce)
- Tuna (fresh or frozen)
- Trout (fresh or frozen)
- Mackerel (canned in tomato sauce or brine)
- Salmon (fresh or frozen)
- Sardines (canned in tomato sauce)
- Herring (fresh or frozen)
- Salmon (canned in brine)
- Crab (canned in brine)
- Cod (fresh or frozen)
- Haddock (fresh or frozen)
Steaming is the best cooking method to help preserve most of the omega-3 fatty acids, however grilled, baked, or canned oily fish can also be very valuable sources of omega-3s.
Stuck for ideas on how to use fish? Here are 5 suggestions:
- A dollop of light crème fraiche on top of canned mackerel, served on a toasted wholegrain bagel, with a crispy green salad.
- Grilled fresh tuna, served with a jacket potato, and seasonal stir-fried veggies.
- Spiced couscous with streamed trout, chopped tomatoes, and cucumber, served with a lime and olive oil dressing.
- Canned sardines with mixed bean salad and tossed leaves.
- Stir-fried fresh salmon with noodles and mixed vegetables.
Check out this oily fish recipe.
Can you add more fish to your diet today?

A driver suspected of DUI went on an accident spree around 2 p.m. today through the streets of Lake Forest, ultimately involving eight vehicles and sending three -- including the alleged culprit -- to the hospital.
The streets were particularly packed with cars and residents at the second accident scene, near Heroes Park, where it was opening ceremony for Little League, said Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority.
The first crash was a hit-and-run involving a Volkswagen SUV on El Toro Road near the I-5 Freeway, said Lt. Paul Fuzzard of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
The driver – Joseph Paxton, 35, residence unknown – made his way to Los Alisos Boulevard, where he careened over the median between Muirlands Boulevard and Jeronimo Road, and hit a "couple of more cars," he said.
Other cars crashed trying to avoid him, Fuzzard said.
The driver then returned to the eastbound side of Los Alisos and rolled his vehicle, Fuzzard said. Altogether, there were seven vehicles involved in the second series of crashes.
Two people, a man and a woman, were sent to the hospital, Fuzzard said.
Concialdi said one of those injured was a 47-year-old father, who had just left the ballfield with his 5-year-old son playing his first season in Little League. The man suffered a hand laceration and other injuries. He was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana.
A 58-year-old woman was taken to Mission Hospital's trauma center with chest injuries and injuries to a wrist and arm, Concialidi said.
The suspect was also taken to the hospital for observation, Fuzzard added.
Fuzzard said the victims were fortunate to have escaped with only moderate injuries.
"We were lucky. Everyone was very lucky," he said.

Be the voice of a shelter pet. through no fault of their
own 1,000's of helpless dogs and cats find themselves awaiting
death at the Maricopa county pound, in fact; approximately 90% of
the animals we have available for adoption were
on that horrible list. Thankfully, the animals are now
safe and awaiting a forever family.
These Dogs & Cats are Far From Being "Damaged
Yes, they came from the county pound, some have broken bones or
may be sick and in need of a simple antibiotic. Several are old and
way to many have been abused. But again, that doesn't make them
damaged goods-quite the opposite in fact.
Most shelter pets make exceptionally affectionate, attentive and
extremely loyal companions. We- meaning Home Fur Good and YOU-are their last chance,
their saving grace. And these animals know that. The love,
companionship and joy they give are a reflection of that. For
anyone who's ever had a shelter animal as a pet, you know this. For
those who haven't yet had that opportunity, give it a try. You'll
be pleasantly surprised. Giving an animal a chance to enjoy
life is a very rewarding experience. See for yourself,
come to one of our adoption locations and fall in
love with a shelter pet.
