Carl Djerassi (born October 29, 1923, Vienna) is an Austrian-American chemist, novelist, and playwright best known for his contribution to the development of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). Djerassi is emeritus professor of chemistry at Stanford University.
He participated in the invention in 1951, together with Mexican Luis E. Miramontes and Mexican-Hungarian George Rosenkranz, of the progestin norethindrone—which, unlike progesterone, remained effective when taken orally and was far stronger than the naturally occurring hormone. His preparation was first administered as an oral contraceptive to animals by Gregory Pincus and Min Chueh Chang and to women by John Rock. Djerassi remarked that he did not have birth control in mind when he synthesized norethisterone—"not in our wildest dreams… did we imagine (it)".
Djerassi is also the author of several novels in the "science-in-fiction" genre, including Cantor's Dilemma, in which he explores the ethics of modern scientific research through his protagonist, Dr. Cantor. He also wrote Chemistry in Theatre: Insufficiency, Phallacy or both which demonstrate the potential pedagogic value of using dialogic style and plot structure of plays with special focus on chemistry.

Early life [edit]
Carl Djerassi was born in Vienna, Austria.[1] His mother was Alice Friedmann, an Ashkenazi Viennese Jew with roots in Galicia, and his father was Dr. Samuel Djerassi, a Bulgarian Sephardic Jew. Samuel Djerassi was a physician who specialized in treating syphilis with the existing arsenical drugs. His successful practice in Sofia was limited to a few wealthy patients, whose treatment lasted for years.
Following his parents' divorce, Djerassi and his mother moved to Vienna to take advantage of the better school system. Until age fourteen, he attended the same realgymnasium that Sigmund Freud had attended many years earlier; he spent summers in Bulgaria with his father. After the Anschluss, his father briefly remarried his mother in 1938 to allow Carl to escape the Nazi regime and flee to Bulgaria, where he lived with his father for a year. During his time in Bulgaria, Djerassi attended the American College of Sofia. A few years later, Djerassi arrived with his mother in the United States, nearly penniless—they had only $20 in their pockets, which was swindled from them by a taxicab driver. Djerassi's mother worked in a group practice in upstate New York. In 1949 his father emigrated to the United States and eventually settled near his son in San Francisco.
Djerassi briefly attended Tarkio College (now defunct), then studied chemistry at Kenyon College, which is famous for literary criticism and the Kenyon Review. He graduated summa cum laude. In 1945, he earned his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin.[1]
Career [edit]
Djerassi worked for CIBA in New Jersey, developing Pyribenzamine (tripelenamine), his first patent and the first commercial antihistamine.
In 1949 Djerassi became associate director of research at Syntex in Mexico City and remained there through 1951. He worked on a new synthesis of cortisone based on diosgenin, a steroid sapogenin derived from a Mexican wild yam. His team later synthesized norethisterone (norethindrone), the first highly active progestin analogue that was effective when taken by mouth. This became part of one of the first successful combined oral contraceptive pills (COCPs). COCPs became known colloquially as the birth-control pill, or simply, the Pill. From 1952-1959 he was a faculty member of Wayne State University's Chemistry department in Detroit.
In 1959 Djerassi became a professor of chemistry at Stanford University and the president of Syntex Laboratories in Mexico City and Palo Alto, California. The Syntex connection brought wealth to Djerassi. He bought a large tract of land in Woodside, California, started a cattle ranch, and assembled a large art collection. He started a new company, Zoecon, which focused on pest control without insecticides, using modified insect growth hormones to stop insects from metamorphosing from the larval stage to the pupal and adult stages. He sold Zoecon to Occidental Petroleum, which later sold it to Sandoz. Part of Zoecon survives in Dallas, Texas, making products to control fleas and other pests.
In 1965 at Stanford University, bacterial geneticist Joshua Lederberg, computer scientist Edward Feigenbaum, and Djerassi devised the computer program DENDRAL (dendritic algorithm) for the elucidation of the molecular structure of unknown organic compounds taken from known groups of such compounds, such as the alkaloids and the steroids.[2] This was a prototype for expert systems and the first use of artificial intelligence in biomedical research.[2]
Djerassi is a member of the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists[3] and is chairman of the Pharmanex Scientific Advisory Board.[4]
Personal life [edit]
In 1977 he began a relationship with noted biographer and university professor Diane Middlebrook, and in 1985 they were married. By 2002 she had decided to retire, to work full-time on her research, and she convinced Djerassi to also retire that year.[5] He became an emeritus professor. They divided their time between homes in San Francisco and London, until her death on 15 December 2007.[5]
On July 5, 1978, Djerassi's artist daughter Pamela (from his second marriage, to Norma Lundholm), committed suicide. With Middlebrook's help, Djerassi then considered how he could help living artists, rather than collecting works of dead ones. He donated half of his Klee collection to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and half to the Albertina in Vienna, effective on his death. He visited existing artist colonies, such as Yaddo and MacDowell, and decided to create his own. He closed his cattle ranch, converted the barn and houses to residential and work space for artists, brought in a prize-winning chef, and moved his home to an office building in San Francisco that he had renovated, converting one floor into a posh apartment, where he displayed part of his art collection and hosted a literary salon, initially referred to as SMIP (Syntex Made it Possible).[6]

How Can I Organize Myself?
I'm 20 and a rising junior in college. I wad just diagnosed with ADHD and in the process of finding medication and counseling starts in the fall. My first 4 semesters of college was a combination of C's and D's and a few B's followed by poor organization. I had two desks. One desk was my clutter desk where I'd put something and deal with it later most of it was papers. My other desk was my computer desk which also turned into a clutter desk if my other one was full. Every few weeks I'd sort it all out but it was hard to get started doing that. I tried keeping a filing cabinet but didn't know how to organize it into sections. I had papers anywhere from course information, to job papers, and random other things I just didn't know how to categorize. I tried keeping a day planner and that lasted about a week and I just couldn't find the time to sit down and plan it out. Also everytime I planned out my day it went completley different and I would never get the tasks and goals done so I ditched it. I now try and use microsoft outlook and it works pretty well since It reminds me when things are due and what things come up ect. However I dont' have my computer on me at all times so its tough. I am in the process of getting a smart phone to see if that can help me. (side note: does anyone know what smartphones are best for organization?) Usually I just do things that come to mind and what I remember needs to be done in the day. Its kinda do as it comes mentality that I have. And because of it I find a lot of time just sitting around or watching TV and doing things last minute. In need structure and organization and I'm having trouble putting one together. Does anyone know of any that work best for college students in paticular? If so what are the details? I could use all the help, thanks! |

Baby Steps
Hi Chaz, As an ADHD person I can tell you I once shared your desire to find a quick fix. A smart phone might be a terrific purchase that solves many of your organizational problems, but it's not going to be a silver bullet. If it allows you to set alarms to remind you when to go to the dentist and when to take out the trash then you might find some use in it. I have a watch that has these features (unfortunately it's no longer being sold). Perhaps an inexpensive PDA can give you these things too? Also, there is little in a smart phone to organize your college work. Are you going to organize your notes in your smart phone?!? Your ADHD brain craves the excitement caused by purchasing a shiny new box of awesome, but unless it fits your needs it will probably end up in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Honestly, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hold a job where I have to juggle massive amounts of information and manage 3 to 5 meetings each day. My wife will tell you I'm still ADD enough to drive her insane, but I'm a world away from where I began my journey. Of those that have made progress, each has found a different solution. Sure there are some common elements, but we're all wired differently. Some great advice has already been given to this post and in this forum. That Instant Boss thing looks cool. My advice is to master TIME first. Create a schedule and obey it. Don't schedule every last minute. Only schedule the things that MUST be done. You can leave your free time entirely blank. As an ADHD person you may prefer to leave Saturday completely open and just write "adventure" for that day. In your schedule, put aside 10 minutes per day to getting organized. You don't magically fix a clutter problem, much the way an overweight person doesn't become skinny in one day. For example you make clean up a standard part of leaving a room. Another tip is to write down a few of your goals at the start of each day. Again, it must become part of your routine. This means it must be a 5 minute task or less, else you'll ditch it with your Franklin planner. Put a star by your MUST-DO tasks. Carry the list around and cross the items off the list as they are done. We ADD people LOVE to cross things off lists!! At the end of the day spend another few minutes cross-checking those goals to make sure they got done. If you didn't achieve any of your goals, figure out where your time went instead and then determine if how you actually spent your time was more useful to you than your unachieved goals. If they weren't, then come up with strategies to stop getting derailed. This is a baby step towards prioritizing your time so that you achieve what is most important to you. It seems like a lot, but anything that becomes part of your day to day routine is simple. Do you forget to eat breakfast or brush your teeth? The key is to keep it a LIGHT-WEIGHT process, so you don't get bogged down. You can't spend 1.5 hours every day drafting up a set of goals. LIGHT-WEIGHT process is the key to success. Lastly, I find organizer software to be incredibly important. So much that I wrote my own. There is a free version and a professional version at http://www.zipxap.com/HomePage_Products_ZxAppIt.html. The functionality is nearly the same, so feel free to try it out using the free version. If you like it and find it useful then email me and I'll give you a free license for the professional version. Sorry I type too much… Best of luck to you. Kurt |

There were 20.9 million air terminal passengers in 2010, around 1.6 million (7 per cent) less than the previous year. There has been almost continuous growth from 1.2 million in 1960, with increases in all but seven of the years since then.
Low-cost airlines have contributed to the rapid growth in recent years. In 2009, more than half the passengers who used Scottish airports were travelling to or from other UK airports - principally London Heathrow (2.8 million), Gatwick (1.4 million), Stansted (0.9 million), Luton (0.7 million), Belfast (0.7 million) and Birmingham (0.6 million). International passenger numbers were greatest for flights to/from Amsterdam (1.0 million), Dublin (0.7 million) and Paris, Charles de Gaulle (0.5 million).
Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) operates 10 airports, which served just over 1 million terminal passengers in 2009. Over half of these were at Inverness (583,000); most of the rest were at Scatsta (270,000) Stornoway (122,000), Sumburgh (139,000) and Kirkwall (138,000).

Exposed by Stefan Matis
This past year, I explored the aesthetic dynamism of light. Working with the immediacy of a digital SLR camera, I experimented with a unique exposing technique. With a tripod mounted camera, I stood in the darkness being exposed with fluid strokes of light, rendering my body in a dynamic and sporadic manner. The light found its way in every crevice of skin, on every patch of muscle. Everything bare was revealed luminously.
In the tradition of Caravaggio, this piece considers the exposing and revealing nature of light. Light bares what is both spiritually and literally hidden.
Emily Dickinson writes,
"There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons
That oppresses like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
Heavenly it hurts us;
We can find no scar.
But internal difference
Where the meanings, are."*
In a painterly manner, lambent strokes permeate and eviscerate darkness. The veiled darkness gives birth to meaningful shapes and feelings.
~ Stefan Matis
*Emily Dickinson excerpt from "There's a certain slant of light"

Any reality TV junkie knows that the test of a good chef is what he can create using only ingredients from a convenience store. (Krispy Kreme bread pudding, anyone?)
With that in mind, we asked the chefs at Chuko, the new ramen restaurant opening tonight in Prospect Heights, to show us what they could do with the 99-cent version you ate in college. We also threw in a Pathmark-prepared rotisserie chicken for fun.
Once you watch (and make it for yourself in the five minutes immediately afterward), imagine what the Morimoto-trained chef/owners — Jamison Blankenship, James Sato, and David Koon — do with real ramen on their small but perfect menu.
Then dream about the gyoza with ponzu dipping sauce, fried green tomato buns with pickled onion and tofu dressing, and homemade ice cream sandwiches.
Chuko, 552 Vanderbilt Avenue, at Dean Street, Prospect Heights (718-576-6701 or barchuko.com).

Besides a heat source and a good cast-iron pan, all you really need are fresh ingredients and a little know-how — and some Dijon mustard, bien sur.

Shockingly, South America is out of the World Cup. But it's not out of the limelight.
Nuela, a South American restaurant and cevicheria, is soft opening next Monday in the Flatiron District after almost a year of delays — and we think it's been well worth the wait.
For proof, check out today's video featuring a simple and refreshing salmon ceviche recipe from chef Adam Schop. All you really need are a handful of Key limes, salt, apples, and onions (all the celery-based ingredients are optional). And, perhaps, the magical touch of a chef schooled in the cuisines of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Or you could just visit the restaurant, a 200-seat space dreamed up by fashion designer Angel Sanchez, where you can find dishes like smoked brisket arepas with plantains and black beans and pork and rock shrimp empanadas. With more than fifteen types of ceviche — mackeral, hamachi, tuna — it's a great place to share.
So everyone comes out a winner.

It sounds like the beginning of a bad Jeff Foxworthy bit: What do you get when you put three handsome Southern boys in an old trailer home on a dirty corner lot?
But Goods, a Williamsburg restaurant where all the food is prepared in a shiny, refurbished 1946 Spartan trailer, is no joke (and the 3rd Ward guys behind it are mighty clever). Chef Alex McCrery, the star of our video, turns out tasty, south of the M-D line fare that's almost all locally sourced or made in-house.
Starting today, he's serving breakfast (egg, bacon, and cheese biscuits; beignets) and lunch/dinner (hot dogs, burgers, fish and chips) from the window. Ten days from now, you'll be able to eat in the adjacent garden, a complete overhaul of the lot that's been vacant for years.
And with everything priced at less than $11, we predict it will become your go-to in B'burg. That is, if you're smarter than a fifth grader.

The Employees Only bartenders have been on the pouring side of more tipsy evenings than we can remember. Literally. And now that they're selling their own brand of cocktail mixers, you can emulate their best-in-the-biz cocktails at home. Near your bed. Which is good.
In today's videos, they teach you how to make the perfect gin gimlet (above), tequila daisy, and upgraded Tom Collins — using their new, all-natural lime cordial and/or grenadine.
The mixers are almost tasty enough to guzzle on their own. They're made with real pomegranate and lime and sweetened with sugar and agave nectar, not high-fructose corn syrup.
We hear more flavors are on the way, but for now they're keeping 'em an employees-only secret.

Pizza: Even when it's $1.50-slice-from-Tony's Down the Block bad, it's pretty good. And as dozens of artisanal, Naples-trained, wood-fire-building, San Marzano-using obsessives have recently demonstrated, a fresh, hot pie can be ambrosial.
Thing is, you have to wait in line for that. But you can skip the queue after taking a class at Pizza a Casa: Pizza Self-Sufficiency Center, where you'll learn to make your own.
Founder/pizza scientist Mark Bello, featured in today's video, has honed his skills for more than fifteen years (he estimates his annual slice intake to be in the thousands). During the four-hour class, you'll learn all his secrets, from the best way to roll dough to when to add herbs for optimal flavor.
You can also host parties for up to twelve in the tchotchke-filled space. We predict it'll be the new go-to for birthday celebrations. Just wear an elastic waistband.

As tempted as I am to get in a batsman like Sehwag who is capable of taking the game away from the opposition (or at times India), he can be too much of a liability in oversees conditions against quality attacks. Anwar was much better in that regard.

Movie Review: Pelotero
The good people in charge of promoting and distributing the new documentary Ballplayer: Pelotero, which opens in select theaters today, were kind enough to send The Common Man a copy to review. So TCM sat down last night after the kids conked out to check it out.
Pelotero follows the 2009 efforts of two 16 year old Dominican prospects, Miguel Angél Sano and Jean Carlos Batista, to sign professional contracts with Major League clubs, in spite of questions about their ages. Sano, in particular, is poked and prodded throughout the movie, under investigation after rumors circulate that he's actually much older than he claims to be.
The film effectively shows how ill-prepared kids like Sano and Batista, as well as their families, are to negotiate in the shark-infested waters of Dominican baseball, and how a monopolistic system that is rife with corruption can be used to drive down bonuses and to take advantage of young, poor athletes. As Batista's trainer points out, the system is designed to churn out and sell a product, "Baseball...when you deal in baseball, young kids, it's like when you go and harvest the land. You put the seed in the land, and then you put the water in it, you clear it. You do all of this, and then, when it grows you sell it. It's just the way it is."
Sano is particularly compelling as the biggest prospect in the D.R., who is expected to break the record for highest signing bonus. But as the film passes, and the rumors begin to mount, you see his increasing frustration with the lies and innuendo being spun around him, and how the situation seems to orchestrated by one buscone (the Pirates' Rene Gayo) to drive down his price to a point where the Pirates can afford him. This includes allegedly telling Sano he should admit to being 19 years old (even though all available evidence shows that's not true) to end the investigation into his birthdate and sign right away with the Pirates. Gayo himself is caught on a hidden recording telling Sano that, if he will sign with the Pirates, Gayo can make the investigation go away and Sano can avoid a suspension. The MLB investigator, who is supposed to be impartially looking into Sano's birthday, also allegedly urges Sano to sign with Gayo. According to one of Sano's relatives, "To me the most serious thing was when the MLB investigator says to the mother, recommends to the mother that he sign with that team. The MLB investigator is there simply to investigate. How is an MLB investigator going to tell you if you sign with this team there won't be any problems? Why would an investigator care which team you're going to sign with. This is a mafia, understand? A mafia, that's what it is."
And that's a fairly accurate representation. And MLB's operations in the Dominican have created a lawless atmosphere where young players openly talk about subtracting years off their ages and grown men in Range Rovers bully poor teenagers with no repercussions or comeuppance.
The film itself is well shot and do a good job of showing the negotiation process and the hoops that elite prospects have to jump through. Sano and Batista, and especially Batista's trainer are incredibly compelling characters, driven by the need to elevate themselves (or their baseball academy) out of poverty. Sano's agent, while seemingly a good guy, is also a little creepy as he showers Sano with gifits and declares "It's always Christmas when I come around, isn't it?" The film does a terrific job of showing how seedy this world is.
The documentary fails on a couple important levels, however. First, while it strongly implies that buscones like Gayo are corrupt and actively lying to and about prospects, it never gets the goods on him. Meanwhile, there are many other cases of buscones and trainers who are corrupt (such as the recent buscone who passed his own son off as 4 years younger than he actually was, or the White Sox and Nationals employees who have been caught skimming bonuses) that the film never even mentions.
And this speaks to the other central problem with Pelotero: It's far too limited in scope. Yes, by focusing on Sano and Batista we get an intimate portrait of two compelling players, their trainers and their agents. But we also miss a lot of opportunities to explore other peripheral characters. Batista talks about how much he misses his mother, but we never spend much time with her to get a sense of who she is and why Batista would miss her so much. Likewise, Gayo becomes a caricature, waddling fat and obsessed over Sano. At least being able to explain how a character like Gayo gets his start and how he operates would be extremely helpful in helping to understand how these figures operate.
Also, Sano and Batista are both considered prize prospects, but there are several other players on who work and train with them who are (presumably) far less prominent. Show how younger players are brought up in this system, and how some of them wash out would also do a lot to make the accomplishments of both of the documentary's main characters more meaningful. It's not like the film is too bloated already to add more depth either. At just an hour and 19 minutes to the last of the end credits, there's plenty of time to fill the story out more.
But overall, the tremendously interesting story, natural drama and intrigue shine through these weaknesses, and the documentary will appeal to baseball fans who want to see how the sausage gets made in the D.R, and who are already angry at the idea of young people being exploited. It also will be especially interesting to both Twins and Astros fans, for whom Sano and Batista are now prospects. You should absolutely go see it, and then hope that the filmmakers eventually follow up with a look at how MLB's new system to curb the bonuses handed to guys like Sano and Batista is screwing over poor brown kids even more.

Emilia Maryniak - (non)objects
The tensions between lines, shapes and colors create a form of existence of an undefined object in an undefined space. This existence is a deeply intimate internal state, inseparable from a feeling of alienation, yet still belonging to the common human realm of feelings. It is a fugitive condition beyond time, although it comes back to us through time - in colors, sounds, fragrances. It is a suspension which enslaves, purifies, enthralls and liberates.
Emilia Maryniak was born in Poland, 1982.
Graduated from College of Fine and Visual Art in Warsaw and from the Institute of Art History at the University of Warsaw. Continuing education at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London.
Shes analysing an organic, abstract painting, which often refers to the geometrical and non-geometrical floral forms. Shes also creating spatial objects made of the living vegetation.

29.41% of people buy Just in Time to be Too Late: Why Men are Like Buses and Can We Help it If We are Fabulous? ~ Paperback ~ Peta Mathias.
In her bestselling guide Can We Help it if We're Fabulous, the irrepressible Peta Mathias shared her thoughts on being a woman. Now, with Just in Time to be Too Late, she turns her attention to what it means to be a man in the 21st century.
What makes men cry? Why are bad boys so irresistible? What exactly is the point of sport? To what extent is a man's self worth connected to his job? What do men look for in a relationship? Does a man ever get over his first love? Why do men lie? What does he need to be happy? And, of course, why are men like buses? These are just some of the vexing questions Peta looks for answers to.
Though she has been married and has had her fair share both of meaningful relationships and flirtatious dalliances, Peta is the first to admit that she knew very little about the opposite sex when she began work on this book – 'A virgin would know more about men than me because she's probably listened more.' Consequently Just in Time to be Too Late is an account of Peta's own discoveries as she delves deeper into the mysterious world of men – a highly personal and frequently hilarious pilgrimage that will resonate with women everywhere.

It is quite common to see families having a picnic by the Nile. As mentioned elsewhere it is not advisable to go into the water as bilharzia is to be found there,
However to sit by the water in the shade of the trees with a picnic, or even a barbecue is an enjoyable occasion.
Some of the fishermen may agree to take you out in their boats at a price.

Address: Beside the White Nile at Jebel Awlia
To the right of the bridge in Jabel Awliya there's a small bluish restaurant. It's more like one woman cooking your meals (specifically fish). It's an outdoor restaurant, you go there with family or friends to enjoy your meal while inhaling the fresh air of jabal awliya.
Written Jan 26, 2009
The season between "winter" and summer is a great time for a picnic or BBQ at the banks of the Nile. At this time, the temperature is hovering around 30 deg C and the sky is clear. Drive across the dam to the other side and find yourself a spot, preferably under a tree, and have a picnic or start a BBQ. The scenery is serene and lovely. You can bring food from home or buy some fish from the fisherman at the dam
Updated Apr 2, 2006
Jebel Al Awliya (spelled in many ways) is a town about 40km north of Khartoum. Nearby is a large dam (completed 1937) that is used to control the flow of the Nile to aid the Aswan Dam in storing water for summer cultivation in parts of Egypt. This is a popular spot for the locals and some curious foreigners who desperately need to get out of Khartoum but couldn't get a flight out. Don't expect souvenir stores or even a public toilet here. There are little huts along the Nile where you can buy fried fish or drinks but not quite what you think. Basically, the Jebel Awliya Dam is there for you to walk on, watch local fisherman catch fish with their nets or in their boats. If you're tempted by fresh fish, you can buy some at the dam and you'll have to bargain.
Be warned though, not to take any photos of the dams otherwise you will have to deal with the military guarding the site. Plus, I wouldn't advise you to walk across without water or a hat on a summers day lest you'll want to jump into the Nile to cool & drink to quench your thirst
Updated Apr 2, 2006
If you're travelling independently, then head south out of Khartoum, along the White Nile and keep going till you get to Jebel Aulia.
You can also get there by public transport - buses leave from Souk Arabi in Khartoum and will drop you about a 10-15 minute walk from the dam.
Written Nov 27, 2003
From an unspecified place behind Souk Arabi, buses head to Jebel Awliya, costing 1000 pounds (100 dinar) one way, taking just over an hour. They drop you off in the town centre, and the dam is about a 10 minute walk away. If you have any trouble finding the bus, then try shouting "Jebel Awliya" to a few bus drivers in Souk Arabi!
Written Nov 17, 2002
Men with baskets of fish for sale can be found on the dam. The varieties available are tilapi [bulti], bayad and catfish. Normally a basket will hold four or 5 large fish and many more smaller ones.
It is wise to bargain as the price can drop by as much as a third with persistance. The salesman will skin and fillet the fish for an extra £5 Sud.
What to buy: Tilapia or bayad
What to pay: 3kg will cost about 40 SDG when skinned and filletted.

Address: Jebel Wliyah Dam
When we set up the BBQ at a rather secluded area away from the dam, we still had all sorts of extra guests coming over to our camp. Old men, women with children, young boys and even the goats & sheeps magically appear. At first, we didn't want to give but eventually we gave them some food and water. Then they came back, stood around us and won't leave until they took our firewood. They even took our bag of trash & emptied it on the ground to collect the bag (so much for our efforts to preserve the environment). After giving them food, water & firewood, they started asking for money. So be prepared for this when you think you'll just have a relaxing weekend BBQ at the park. Later some people from the military guarding the dam area came by and advised us to watch our belongings. I don't know if that's needed because I think Khartoum area is one of the safest places I've been to
Updated Apr 26, 2006
Be careful where you point your camera in Jebel Awliya. Don't take any photos of the dam (or at least, don't do it from the town), and don't photograph the military installments next to the dam. The soldiers on duty were friendly enough, and allowed one of us to take a photo of them standing on the dam, but without them in the photo, it is strictly "mamnoo'" (forbidden)...don't ask me, it is just Sudanese logic.
Written Nov 17, 2002
Favorite thing: Taking rest is a very Sudanese thing to do, and in Jebel Awliya you'll find several people demonstrating this highly difficult skill...the really skilled take their rest a ten minute walk from the bus stop, at a small "beach" right next to the dam. They bring picnics with them, towels, and fishing rods, or sometimes just recline under a tree with a chicha. The less skilled (i.e. the foreigners or the plain insane) head across the dam, preferably in the heat of the midday sun, and collapse with no water or food under some trees on the other side. But either way, Jebel Awliya is the perfect place to practice the art of taking your rest...there isn't anything else to do!

A tragedy has befallen our great nation .And has hit the entire world with devastation .And anyone with a conscious is affected.God only knows my heart and the hearts of so many as to how this could happen.Why these little kids, at the time of the event, would have so much terror be brought down upon them.Then the parents of these kids being told of the fate of there children.God bless you mom and dads that are going through this and even tho i lost my own daughter ,i have the most deepest respect and tears of anguish for you all. And even if the gun ban law had been in effect,it would not have mattered to this cowardly man ,he would have got these guns regardless of the laws.And the outcome would have been the same. maybe worse.Maybe more lives had of been lost, with illegal weapons of mass destruction.So please i beg you to not hate the guns but to hate the man .I wouldnt know what to do if i could not defend my family and friends and myself from a coward such as this. I;am without my daughter now And i ask for no sympathy for myself,but sympathy for the ones of this horrible event.
From tear fiiled eyes i bring you my heart: RICHARD CROUCH A FATHER

This combination of nutrients, found in supplements like Ocuvite and VisiVite, is now widely recommended for people with moderate or severe macular degeneration. Current or former smokers may be better off with VisiVite's Smoker's Formula, which leaves out the beta-carotene (beta-carotene supplements my increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers).
Marvin Moe Bell, M.D., M.P.H.
Physician and Author
We see approximately 120 patients per week with about 15% having or being at risk for macular degeneration. Using the AREDS as our reference we became aware of the importance of nutritional supplements in the prevention of the progression of macular degeneration. This along with various other studies on the importance of vitamins for general eye health prompted us to look for a supplement that fit the needs of our patients. Visivite showed itself to be the only company who took pains to offer the ratio of different vitamins initially determined by AREDS.
Dr. Kendal Piatt, O.D.
At "Island Retina" our mission statement is to provide outstanding retinal care in a warm and supportive environment. I have been practicing for more than 20 years. We love taking care of patients with retinal disease including diabetes, macular degeneration and retinal detachments. Our practice is unique in that we have a surgery center,we are involved in several national research projects as well as our own research, and we have a satelite office in Commack, NY. I do a great deal of lecturing throughout the country as part of my committment to education. We have been recommending Visivite for several years. AREDS formulation vitamins are the mainstay in the treatment of dry AMD which affects about 1.7 million Americans. We find that the VisiVite vitamins fit the needs of our patients. We can recommend different formulations based on the patients' history. The quality is unsurpassed, they are well tolerated which increases patient compliance.
Pamela Weber, M.D.
I've been in practice for 36 years. We see many patients with Macular Degeneration and dry eyes. As a general Ophthalmologist, I see patients with varying Eye problems including cataracts and glaucoma. Based on the AREDS study, a vitamin like Visivite is the only treatment for Macular Degeneration available today.
Martin L Weinhoff, MD
We recommend that all of our patients take the
VisiVite AREDS 2 formula vitamins
, due to the evidence based nature of the formula (doses are based on the NIH study of macular degeneration).
Marc Lay, OD
East Florida Eye Institute specializes in the treatment of Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetic Eye Disease, and Dry Eye Disease. We recommend the use of VisiVite for all of our Macular Degeneration patients.

Eye Vitamin Advice
> Burning Eyes
Nutritional support for optimizing tear production and promoting healthy tear film layers may assist with symptoms related to burning eyes:
Omega-3 fatty acids
: Essential fatty acids like DHA, ALA and EPA modulate inflammation in the tear glands and eyelids. Since chronic inflammation in the eye is commonly associated with burning eyes, nutrition that modulates the inflammatory response may provide relief. Omega-3 fatty acids are most famously found in fish oil; plant sources of Omega-3s include flaxseed oil and borage oil.
Vitamin C and Vitamin B6
: These vitamins are important because they help the body to absorb and use the Omega-3s that have such critical role in promoting a healthy inflammatory response. Vitamins C and B6 work to optimize Omega-3 benefits for eye comfort.
Polar phospholipids
: Supplemental orthomolecules including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine help the tear glands to promote healthy tear film layers. These nutrients optimize all three layers of tear film, promoting well-hydrated eyes that are free of stinging, burning discomfort.
Mucin and phytosterols
: Natural phytonutrients that play a key role in eye hydration, mucin and phytosterols support healthy tear production and hydration -- promoting eye comfort while minimizing burning.
: With its active constituent curcumin, the famed Indian spice turmeric modulates inflammation in the eye's lids and tear glands -- promoting tear film stability and overall eye comfort.

With the Purchase of this disc get up to $5.00 off one admission ticket to see The Hobbit. Certificate is valid from 12/14/12 to 12/30/12. Restrictions apply. Internet and printer required. At participating theaters only. Must provide name and email.
"The Fellowship Of The Ring": Assisted by a Fellowship of heroes, Frodo Baggins plunges into a perilous trek to take the mystical One Ring to Mount Doom so that it and its magical powers can be destroyed and never possessed by evil Lord Sauron. The astonishing journey begins in the first film of director/co-writer Peter Jackson's epic trilogy that redefined fantasy filmmaking. "The Two Towers": Frodo and Samwise press on toward Mordor. Gollum insists on being the guide. Can anyone so corrupted by the ring be trusted? Can Frodo, increasingly under the sway of the ring, even trust himself? Meanwhile, Aragorn, drawing closer to his kingly destiny, rallies forces of good for the battles that must come. "The Return Of The King": It is time. For Frodo to overcome the wickedness of Gollum, the horrifying attack of the colossal arachnid Shelob and the soul-twisting allure of a ring that resists destruction. For Aragorn to take up the sword of his forebears and the crown of his birthright. For the mighty clash that wizard Gandalf calls "the great battle of our time." And for the inspired culmination of the films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's literary classic. For the third time, a "Rings" movie was a Best Picture Academy Award(R) nominee and for the first time it claimed that prize (plus 10 more). "The King" deserves its crown.

Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have plenty of differences over how they'd promote energy development and protect the environment. But this morning, surrogates for the two campaigns joined hands in supporting the 3-year-old Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), an innovative effort at the U.S. Department of Energy to pump public money into studies of potentially transformational clean energy technologies. Representatives from both campaigns repeatedly lauded ARPA-E's nimble model for funding high-risk basic research during a debate on energy and environmental policy sponsored by Business Roundtable.
"Energy R&D should be done at a very basic level through something like ARPA-E," said Linda Gillespie Stuntz, an energy and environmental attorney who represented the Romney campaign at the Washington, D.C., event. The best role for government, she said, is investing in "very high risk [basic research] that wouldn't be undertaken by other people."
"I agree with Linda on the job that ARPA-E has done," said Obama campaign representative Dan Reicher, the executive director of the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
