Nestled in the rolling hills of Maryland's countryside, the Wakefield Valley Golf Club showcases three different nine-hole courses.

The gold course, meanwhile, sets up demanding tee shots into narrow fairways, as seen on its signature eighth hole, where water guards the green on all sides.
Golfers can warm up for rounds at the driving range and practice green or employ the swing-honing advice of PGA Professional Scott Magee, who teaches enough students to believe that he will find one who can pull a putter from a stone.

I'm a list maker. In fact I love making lists. But as time and luck would have it my computer crashed two days before we left on vacation and I couldn't access any of my packing lists. Later when the absence of water shoes resulted in a clam shell injury to one of my daughters' feet, we realized that the first aid kit, newly loaded with all sorts of band-aids, ointments and first-aidy stuff, was left sitting on the kitchen counter.
Would you ever expect to see a jellyfish gently pulsating its way through your cottage lake? Probably not, but apparently it's becoming more likely. Lucky for us, freshwater jellyfish do differ slightly from marine jellyfish. In case you spot something with a whorl of string-like tentacles floating around in your lake, it's important to know these jellyfish are not harmful to humans.
If you're lucky, you're reading this with your feet propped up on a deck chair at a cottage, enjoying the last days of summer. Heading to the cottage is an increasingly popular Canadian pastime. While most people buy or rent cottages for peace and tranquility, more people in cottage country means more air, water, noise and light pollution.
I just got off the phone with my brother. He and his wife will be joining my fiancé and I at our newly purchased cottage on the lake. This will be our first time hosting big bro and his bride of three years. They usually host all family gatherings and are amazing at it! My sister-in-law is the Canadian Martha Stewart. I feel overwhelmed and stuck. Where do I start?
Why do some people get invited back to the cottage year after year and others never make the list? Simply put, some people are just better cottage guests than others. While most guests are an absolute pleasure, there are some that are memorable for all the wrong reasons. If you are fortunate enough to be invited to a cottage this summer here are eight tips that could help put you on the top of the "invite back" list.
You might be worried about committing a faux pas and ending up on the host's blacklist. You also may be new to the wilderness, which can be an even bigger concern, for different reasons all together. Whether you're a good friend, an acquaintance or a tag-along, following some simple guidelines can ensure that everyone has a great time and that you get invited back.

Review of Essence Gel Eyeliner by Joyc25
OMG my first HG!! this is the ultimately best gel eyeliner!
this doesn't smudge on me at all even without any primers or powder on my lid! a first with gel liners! I've tried MAC, BB, Wnw, Clinique, etc.
I got this in London Baby which is a gorgeous deep taupe~ It looks sort of like a natural black on my PPP skin~ I've always had problems pulling off the inner rim look and the eyeliner all over the eye look but this shade actually works! it makes my eyes sultry without being the googly eye lol!
it is $3.99 @shoppers drug mart. it's made in Italy too!! i love this so much that i already wanna buy backups :P

Obama, Roberts Plan on Doing Oath of Office Twice, Again
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will administer the oath of office to President Obama twice again this year, although hopefully it will be smoother than their "do-over" four years ago.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Friday that Justice Roberts will administer the oath to Mr. Obama on Sunday, Jan. 20, and again on Monday, Jan. 21. The official event on Jan. 20 is mandated by the Constitution but will be held in private because it falls on a Sunday, when courts and other public institutions are closed. They will repeat the ceremony before the nation at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 21.

A new white paper from PYA, a National Healthcare Consulting Firm, surveys Network Alliances, an emerging alternative to traditional mergers and acquisitions.
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
Community hospitals worried about losing local control through a merger or acquisition by a larger health system are exploring Network Alliances as a best of both worlds alternative. Through a formal working relationship with other hospitals and health systems, a community hospital can access needed resources while protecting its independence.
Noting traditional M&A activity remains brisk since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the latest PYA white paper, Hospital Network Alliances: Independence Through Interdependence, says many community hospitals now are pursuing Network Alliances. These alliances can take many forms, but generally share these common characteristics:
Based on its survey of existing Network Alliances, PYA identified five stages in the successful development of these organizations: (1) develop internal alliance strategy; (2) assess and engage potential partners; (3) jointly establish terms of relationship; (4) commence and maintain alliances; and (5) have an exit strategy. By not following these steps the hospital runs the risk of rushing into a relationship without a foundation of trust, according to the publication.
The PYA white paper concludes with 17 examples of Network Alliances that show the innovation, diversity, shape, and size of how these cutting-edge strategies can be tailored to meet specific needs and circumstances of all parties.
Put the deep and wide experience of PYA to work for you in developing and designing your Network Alliance by contacting Martie Ross or David McMillan at PYA, (800) 270-9629.
About PYA: Pershing Yoakley & Associates is ranked by Modern Healthcare as the nations 10th largest privately held healthcare consulting firm.

A local patrolman went the extra mile to ensure a dog's safety following a crash in Palmyra.
According to South Londonderry Township Police, two dogs had run away from a vehicle after it was involved in an accident.
One of the dogs was caught, but the other—a German shepherd—took off across town.
The dog was found near the Lebanon-Dauphin county line. Officials discovered it couldn't walk, having suffered injuries to the pads on its paws during its lengthy run on the asphalt and other terrain.
Patrolman Nick Ague then carried the dog what the department called "a long way" back to the owner's vehicle.

2012. tag along. ralph lauren cardigan. tie dye print tank from tj maxx. clover shorts by madewell. miu miu sunglasses. wanted sandals.on saturday morning, M scouted locations for a photo shoot, and i tagged along because i had nothing else to do (and another reason listed below). like a good man, he treated me to iced coffee and a muffin and took some candid shots (see above).if you check out my archive, you'll notice a big difference between then and now. when i started little tin soldier, i used an old point-and-shoot from college and took pictures secretly in M's mom's living room. the paper dolls were quickly drawn and somewhat cartoonish, and outfits seemed more relaxed (i was finishing up graduate school).IFB recently posted an article about being a better blogger, and it inspired me to reflect on the past and plan for the future. i tweeted, if you want to evolve your blog, constantly improve it. in 2010, it meant sharing my hobby with M who initially raised his eyebrows but used it as an opportunity to explore digital photography. it meant actively studying illustrator and photoshop to draw prettier illustrations. it meant falling in love with art again and having the confidence to share it. now it means learning to shoot with a DSLR, the thought of which makes my hands shake with nerves and excitement.i'm not a "professional" blogger, but blogging helps me refine, acquire, and investigate different professional skills. sometimes i'm asked by new bloggers how to get big, get followers, or get partnerships. there's no one-formula-fits-all answer. i can say, be determined, kind, and well-rounded. be the best version of who you are. those traits will stay with you longer in life than being famous.the look | similar cardigan | similar tank | similar shorts

This beautiful, roomy, bright apartment is part of a brand new (February 2008) residential building situated in a spacious, well-served area facing a green and shady park, a small museum right on its side and plenty of little traditional stores in the vicinity. With the city center, the railroad station and the Fiera District at walking distance, a newly-built shopping mall with an indoor swimming pool, a gym, bars, restaurants, stores and shops of all kind just around the corner, Al Parco qualifies as one of the most convenient rentals in Bologna. From here you can easily reach any spot in town: the bus stop is right by about 40 mts. and private parking is provided in the yard, which is completely fenced and 100% safe for the kids.
The apartment is a first floor (elevator) and overlooks the park with a very large (30 sq.mts.) terrace which makes a great spot for your alfresco dining (garden furniture is provided).
From our reviews (1): 'We have returned to Taiwan yesterday. Al Parco was the perfect location for us because it is within walking distance to the fairground. We would also wish to stay Al Parco for the next exhibit. Thank you so much for all the assistance from you and Ken.' (James L., Taiwan]
'Un appartement idéal parfaitement entretenu, très confortable et très moderne, une grande terrasse où l'on peut se détendre et se restaurer. il est également très bien situé : proche du centre des congrès et aussi du centre ville, nous avons donc fait tous nos déplacements à pied. la propriétaire est une personne charmante qui nous avait préparé le nombre de lits nécessaires et nous avait préparé une corbeille de fruits pour notre arrivée.' (Sebastien L., France)
'Facilidad para aparcar y buena comunicación al centro. El apartamento está muy cuidado y limpio.' (Amalia G., Spain)
From our reviews (2): 'The facility was spotlessly clean, very well supplied with amenities, in a new building of the highest quality construction and a very convienient location to transportation, groceries, shopping, and restaurants. The owners could not have been more gracious in their hospitality and helpfulness.' (Rev. Michael D., USA)
'We stayed at Al Parco apartment for a week at the end of July and we would just like to let you know that we had a wonderful time! The apartment is spacious and has so many fantastic facilities - and thank you very much for the all the delicious food! The location was perfect, as we were able to walk to the bus stop in 1 minute, and the supermarket was just down the street. Silvio was also very accommodating. He made sure that we knew how all of the appliances worked and even told us information about Bologna. Thank you also for the bus ticket. Thank you again, we will definitely recommend your apartment to anyone who is traveling to Bologna.' (Bianca P., Australia)
From our reviews (3): 'My husband and I travel to Europe once or twice a year, and can honestly say that the accommodations at Al Parco were the best we've ever experienced. Not only is the apartment immaculate and large, but the owner and her husband went far beyond our expectations to provide us with the information and supplies we would need during our stay (even beverages and snacks!). The area is so convenient. There is an excellent supermarket right across the street, a great bakery for morning coffee and pastry a 5 minute walk away, and a bus that brings you right to the center of town. The area does not feel touristy at all, you can really relax and feel at home. One of our favorite things about our stay was the large terrace - every day we made it a must-do to spend some time sitting outside. The light within the apartment is lovely too, especially soothing in the afternoonin after a long day of walking the city. For us, Al Parco has set a new standard for an apartment rental' (Neala, USA)

Oh man, sad to hear about this, what memories of Pat Summerall this brings back.
Summerall/ Brookshire or Summerall/Madden, at RFK, stands shaking, Redskins vs Dallas, that's the epitome of NFL football, just classic stuff. He had a really great voice for the job, a producers dream.
Not to compare them at all, but Summerall and the late, great Jack Buck have to be my two favorite football guys by far, both just legendary sports announcer voices. Summerall's chemistry with his partners was awesome, always a synergistic match. Buck usually had Hank Stram as a partner, who, while obviously an accomplished football man, just didn't have the greatest voice or personality. I'll never forget Buck doing the Redskins/Minnesota playoff game and then a week later Summerall doing the '82-83 NFC championship vs Dallas. Just classic!! lol. Buck also did St Louis Cards baseball and the very first year of Blues hockey. Would have loved to have ever heard Buck doing hockey, he had the gravel voice for it. Then they got the greatest hockey announcer ever in Dan Kelly the following year, how lucky was St Louis.
Announcers of that class just add so much to the games, and Pat Summerall was incredible.

I know the people around here have a hatred of the Cowboys, but when I think of Summerall and Madden, I think of the Super Bowls first and those ridiculous Cowboys/49ers NFC Championship Games in the early 90s. Hearing his voice just made it seem like such a big big game.
74umgrad said...
I didn't recall that either, and I watched most of the game. Mrs. 74 went into false labor with our first child toward the end of the game, so that sticks in my mind more, but I, too, am surprised that Summerall didn't call that game. With all the kudos in the world to Scully, who is great, but he couldn't hold a candle to Summerall in calling PBP for football.

Unlike a lot of today's play by play guys, he really let the action speak for itself. He gave you the player's name and the result of the play, and let you watch the action or let Madden explain what was significant about it. He didn't need to be the star of the show.

Questions and answers about meditation, yoga, the spiritual life, and more

June 14
Namashkar! God is one. Could you please tell me the difference between Divine Mother and Divine Father and how can I address them separately during my prayer.
Namashkar Nina,
Yes, God is one, and in "His" true essence He is beyond any human understanding. To understand His eternal essence we have to go beyond our human level, and meet Him on His own level, by expanding with our formless soul into in "heaven", into Eternity, beyond time, space, gender, and definitions.

shweta jha
Because of some cases of cheating and hurts I have received from loved ones and friends, I have become very bitter in life. Of late, I have realised that the bitterness has made me very unattractive. I am into kriya which certainly helps me but not when it comes to bitterness .... that is judging almost evrything negatively. I makes me appear very aggressive, which unfortunately I am not. Is there any other stronger way of being genuinely easygoing and not taking life seriously?
Dear Shweta,
You mention the word "bitterness" twice as well as referring to disappointments regarding disloyalty and pain given by those close to you. You have recognized the cost to you in taking on and absorbing their energies, whether they intended their inflictions or not. Associating with environments, behaviors, people, all have an effect on. As Yogananda, our guru, said, "Environment is stronger than willpower." Sometimes we have to run away from circumstances that pull us down. But often we are unable to and have to absorb the slings and arrows of what is playing out in and around us. First see that attacks are not personal and ultimately have no power over you. You come to know that through your empowering practice of Kriya, including Hong-Sau and Energization, practiced regularly and consistently. This is how you build your strength and your knowing, your assuredness of the power already within you. Be realistic too and don't allow yourself to be subjected to anyone's or anything's contracting, belittlement of you, the immortal soul. You are that ever-expansive soul and no one can take it away from you.

"God is Love" this is what I have read all the time and believed in it. Then why didnt God help me unite with my love? I recently brokeup with my ex due to family pressure. We prayed so much... wasn't our love real or pure or worth saving? Or am I paying for my past karma?
I feel agitated and have this urge to turn very revengeful towards my ex as well as family. Will then God forgive me if I become so? Will God understand me if I do so?
Please guide
Dear One,
It is true God is love. And, God's love is unconditional and God loves all equally! He loves you and your ex just as much as He loves your parents. It is extremely important for all devotees to understand God's love is far above and beyond our rational, analytical and logical mind. God's love is tremendously much greater than we will ever know. That being said, it is very important to realize that God's love, being what it is, does not mean, He will grant our every prayer.
May 21
Namashkar !!! Man proposes, God disposes! God knows our true needs and gives us the best in his own time. What then is the use of prayer apart from the fact that we remember Him at least on the pretext of asking for something. I mean God will anyways give us what we deserve and what we need? So why pray?
Namashkar Nina!
The reason is: if you pray, miracles can happen, if you don't, they won't.
It's like this: God is impersonal, but He is too great to be only impersonal, as Yogananda explains. He is also very personal: He is a Father, Mother, Friend. If you don't pray, His impersonal law will be active, which is karma. Everything then that happens is in the flow of action/reaction, cause/effect.

Shalin Joseph
I know that a pure heart is the basis for bliss, as from pure heart emanates pure thoughts, words, and actions which eventually determine our destiny. I have been praying to God to bless me with one. It is a higher goal that I am asking for, but my prayer hasn't entirely been answered. I have started meditation also a year back. But I have not been freed from lower emotions completely. How long and how much effort does it take to have a heart free of undesirable emotions?
Dear Shalin,
It's important that we not be attached, even to spiritual goals. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna gives Arjuna the emphasis of "nishkam karma", which means simply, action without the attachment to the fruits of one's actions. The same can apply to spiritual goals. We need to do the best we can while offering it all to the Divine.
If your sincerity is there in purifying your heart, then God will respond. But God will respond in his time, not always in "our" time!
Continue to meditate daily, but also activate the devotion of your heart through chanting and feeling God's presence. Paramhansa Yogananda said that "chanting was half the battle".
I read this line: Nearly every man can withstand adversity but if you want a test a man's character, give him Power.
Now God is so hungry for love, he wants all of us to love him ALONE . Plus, he has ALL the power. Given this nature: I cant even think of loving him, I mock at this very thought. Love him as brother, lover, mother etc? Can you love someone who punishes you for the birth you never wanted to take at the 1st place?
Dear One,
I hope and pray you allow an opening in your heart so you may receive the only experience that is worth its weight in gold ~ loving God. Once you allow your self to receive God's love all questions will be answered. Loving God and receiving God's love is all that matters in life. There is nothing that can compare to this truth. This thought is very difficult for the analytical, logical and rational mind to understand. This thought is of the soul. For the sake of argument, let us say, the soul is a part of your highest self that starts where the mind ends.
May 3
How do we should create a balance in our material and spiritual life , inside and outside? and if Divine mother has a nature to bestow completely and always upon us , then why sometimes we fail to feel Her love within us when we get too busy with life? How do i develop more devotion in my heart so i can let Her work through me ?
Dear Shrey,
I apologize for not writing sooner. I have been in Italy for Swami Kriyananda's memorial service.
We are Divine Mother's children. A devotee of Yogananda was being scolded by an advanced disciple of Yogananda, whose name was Durga Mata. Durga Mata, who tried always to be a clear channel for Yogananda, said to the devotee, "why don't you let me help you?"
February 26
Why is it that figuring out which form to worship God in is becoming such a sticking point? What's the best way to get around this
Dear friend,
I would suggest that when you sit to meditate that you focus on your heart center. Perhaps your mantra could be "How shall I love thee"? There is a beautiful chant by Swami Kriyananda that asks "How shall I love thee, How shall I seek thee, How shall I serve thee, How shall I worship thee?", and the answer is "With every breath that I breathe".

Over the past 36 years, VIA's experiential programs have provided a launchpad and support network for thousands of university students from Asia, bringing over 200-250 Asian students to Stanford annually. VIA's experience in guiding participants on their learning journeys has highlighted three key mindsets that are the foundation of becoming a changemaker: discovering yourself, getting creative and taking the lead. Below is a glimpse of how VIA Programs foster these key mindsets.

Church @ The Springs began seventeen years ago in the basement of an office building after God called Ron Sylvia and his family to start a church that would present Jesus Christ in a new and relevant way for people who didn't go to church or had given up on church.
After fifteen locations and growing to thousands of people, we never tire of seeing people accept Jesus and taking next steps of obedience in order to fulfill God's purpose for their lives. We are more excited than ever as we reach out to people in our communities and communicate that God is passionately in love with them.

Personnel Security Clearances:
Actions Needed to Ensure Quality of Background Investigations and Resulting Decisions
GAO-14-138T: Published: Feb 11, 2014. Publicly Released: Feb 11, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3604
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Several agencies have key roles and responsibilities in the multi-phased personnel security clearance process, including the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) who, as the Security Executive Agent, is responsible for developing policies and procedures related to security clearance investigations and adjudications, among other things. The Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget chairs the Performance Accountability Council that oversees reform efforts to enhance the personnel security process. The security process includes: the determination of whether a position requires a clearance, application submission, investigation, and adjudication. Specifically, agency officials must first determine whether a federal civilian position requires access to classified information. After an individual has been selected for a position that requires a personnel security clearance and the individual submits an application for a clearance, investigators—often contractors—from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) conduct background investigations for most executive branch agencies. Adjudicators from requesting agencies use the information from these investigations and federal adjudicative guidelines to determine whether an applicant is eligible for a clearance. Further, individuals are subject to reinvestigations at intervals based on the level of security clearance.
Executive branch agencies do not consistently assess quality throughout the personnel security clearance process, in part because they have not fully developed and implemented metrics to measure quality in key aspects of the process. For more than a decade, GAO has emphasized the need to build and monitor quality throughout the clearance process to promote oversight and positive outcomes such as maximizing the likelihood that individuals who are security risks will be scrutinized more closely. GAO reported in 2009 that, with respect to initial top secret clearances adjudicated in July 2008 for the Department of Defense (DOD), documentation was incomplete for most of OPM's investigative reports. GAO independently estimated that 87 percent of about 3,500 investigative reports that DOD adjudicators used to make clearance eligibility decisions were missing some required documentation, such as the verification of all of the applicant's employment, the required number of social references for the applicant, and complete security forms. In May 2009, GAO recommended that OPM measure the frequency with which its investigative reports met federal investigative standards to improve the completeness—that is, quality—of investigation documentation. In January 2014, DNI officials said that metrics to measure quality of investigative reports had not been established.
GAO reported in 2010 that executive branch agencies do not consistently and comprehensively track the extent to which reciprocity is occurring because no government-wide metrics exist to consistently and comprehensively track when reciprocity is granted. The acceptance of a background investigation or personnel security clearance determination completed by another authorized agency is an opportunity to save resources and executive branch agencies are required by law to grant reciprocity, subject to certain exceptions, such as completing additional requirements like polygraph testing. GAO's 2010 recommendation that the leaders of the security clearance reform effort develop metrics to track reciprocity has not been fully implemented.
Why GAO Did This Study
Recently the DNI reported that more than 5.1 million federal government and contractor employees held or were eligible to hold a security clearance. GAO has reported that the federal government spent over $1 billion to conduct background investigations (in support of security clearances and suitability determinations for federal employment) in fiscal year 2011. A high quality process is essential to minimize the risks of unauthorized disclosures of classified information and to help ensure that information about individuals with criminal activity or other questionable behavior is identified and assessed as part of the process for granting or retaining clearances.
This statement addresses (1) a general overview of the security clearance process; (2) what is known about the quality of investigations and adjudications, which are the determinations made by executive branch agency officials to grant or reject clearance requests based on investigations; and (3) the extent of reciprocity, which is the decision of agencies to honor clearances previously granted by other agencies. This statement is based on GAO work issued from 2008 to 2013 on DOD's personnel security clearance program and government-wide suitability and security clearance reform efforts. As part of that work, GAO (1) reviewed relevant statutes, federal guidance, and processes, (2) examined agency data on the timeliness and quality of investigations and adjudications, (3) assessed reform efforts, and (4) reviewed a sample of case files for DOD personnel.

Main main index Narrative
The Innkeepers is a 2011 supernatural horror film directed, produced, and written by Ti West and starring Sara Paxton, Pat Healy and Kelly McGillis.
Two young slackers, Claire (Paxton) and Luke (Healy), are the last two employees of the soon-to-be-closed-down Yankee Pedlar Inn in Connecticut. Knowing that the inn is rumored to be haunted, they go out looking for the ghost of Madeline O'Malley, a jilted bride who killed herself at the inn many years ago, with the help of former sitcom actress turned medium Leanne Rease-Jones (McGillis), who is staying at the inn for a convention.

Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? : A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir
"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want to hear."
The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick--and his beloved Janis Joplin--Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner Joe Perry. In this addictively readable memoir, told in the playful, poetic voice that is uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning.
Tyler tells what it's like to be a living legend and the frontman of one of the world's most revered and infamous bands--the debauchery, the money, the notoriety, the fights, the motels and hotels, the elevators, limos, buses and jets, the rehab. He reveals the spiritual side that "gets lost behind the stereotype of the Sex Guy, the Drug Guy, the Demon of Screamin', the Terror of the Tropicana." And he talks about his epic romantic life and his relationship with his four children. As dazzling, bold, and out-on-the-edge as the man himself, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is an all-access backstage pass into this extraordinary showman's life.

1 . Loved It!
Posted August 29, 2011 by Darcia Helle , New Port Richey
Steven Tyler has a big, flashy personality and his book is no different. He tells it like it is, holding nothing back. We learn about his childhood, his personal life, the making of Aerosmith, his relationship with its members (particularly Joe Perry), his addictions and his songwriting process.
Occasionally Tyler wanders off topic and offers personal insights on life. I noticed this bothered many of the other reviewers who wanted a linear, professional autobiography. Unlike those reviewers, I thoroughly enjoyed his meandering. For me, his writing style and (sometimes) lack of structure felt more personal. We're given a glimpse into the real Steven Tyler, the man behind the lead singer persona. He has packed a lot of living into his 60-plus years and has a lot to say.
I found the book entertaining, sad, silly and poignant. Steven Tyler is far more intelligent than most people give him credit for. He's also over-the-top crazy at times. But isn't that what we love about him?

The Art of Living Program for Excellence at Workplace offers Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises a structured intervention to eliminate stress, enhance inspirational levels and arrive at an overall work life balance of its employees. Learn More
Government Executive Program (GEP) is the Art of Living's flagship offering for the Indian Government organizations - Central Government, State Governments, Subordinate Departments, Autonomous Bodies, Public Sector Undertakings, Armed Forces / Police Forces, and Training Institutes Learn More
The Indian border state has been perpetually caught in a web of tension, violence and instability ever since the partition of India in 1947. Today, Kashmir is counted among the world's most volatile hotspots. The Art of Living has been pursuing a multi-pronged approach to bring peace in troubled Jammu and Kashmir.
For the last five years, the Art of Living has launched several initiatives aimed not only at restoring peace, but also alleviating the sufferings of the people. Its intervention spans four broad areas -- trauma relief courses for all sections of society, bringing a sense of harmony by opening avenues for dialogue between people of diverse viewpoints, working to alleviate the plight of people in migrant camps, schools and child-care centers for children affected by the trauma and initiating programmes for the youth.
To wean away youth from violence and isolate them from the web of uncertainty, the Art of Living has been conducting its Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP) since 2003. The programme has been so popular with youth of the state that the participants of the first programme which was held in Doda in 2003 with about 70 youths in attendance generated over 10 such programmes within a very short time. The programme has been extremely successful in turning misguided youth into physically strong, mentally alert and morally responsible individuals who are ready to cross all their comfort zones and become role models for others. About 2200 youths from 12 districts in the region have been trained for the YLTP program. These youth take up rehabilitation work of the valley under the umbrella of the welfare programs undertaken by the Art of Living organization. Their perform diverse activities like

Douglas County Sheriff's officers on Wednesday were investigating a two-vehicle head-on wreck that happened Tuesday night south of Clinton Lake.
Tuesday night accident
Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff's spokesman, said 22-year-old Candace Stebbins of rural Overbrook was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries that were not believed to be life threatening. An LMH spokeswoman said Wednesday she was treated and released.
At 9:30 p.m. she was driving her 1997 Chevrolet east on County Road 458 near East 650 Road, which is northwest of the town of Lone Star. Lewis said her car was struck head-on by a westbound 2000 Dodge Neon that had drifted left of the center line.
The Neon's driver fled the accident scene.
About four hours later, officers interviewed Taylor Brown, 21, rural Lawrence, the registered owner of the Neon, which had an expired license plate.
"He said the vehicle was possibly stolen and denied driving the Neon or being involved in the accident," Lewis said.
But deputies also noticed "fresh cuts to Brown's forehead, knee and both arms," Lewis said.
Lewis said Wednesday afternoon that after further investigation and interviews with deputies, Brown admitted he drove the Neon during the accident.
Lewis said Brown was cited to appear in court later for eight violations, including leaving the scene of an injury accident, failing to report an injury accident and render aid, violating license restrictions, violating use of an ignition interlock device, having an expired vehicle registration, no insurance and not wearing a seat belt.

Tappara goalie carries medal hopes of young Finnish team
OTTAWA - After starting with two straight losses to Sweden and Russia, Finland will need top-notch goaltending from Harri Säteri to ensure that it moves on to the playoff round at the 2009 IIHF World Championship.The big 19-year-old Tappara Tampere netminder, whos currently rocking a 3.54 GAA and .870 save percentage in his second World Junior tournament, admitted his best is yet to come.And the same goes for head coach Jukka Rautakorpis skaters.The first game was pretty good for me, but the second game against Russia wasnt so good, Säteri told IIHF.com. A couple of goals were my fault. In the first game, we played badly in the first period, but then we played better in the next 40 minutes. But Sundays game was pretty bad.The biggest concern for Finland against Russia was the number of opposition tallies that came from bad turnovers, including both goals by sniper Nikita Filatov.We just need to be more careful in our own zone, Säteri said. I try to talk as much as possible to my defencemen.One difference between this years Finnish team and past editions is the lack of star defencemen. In fact, Joonas Järvinen is the only returning veteran from 2008. Certainly, theres no one of the caliber of Joni Pitkänen or Sami Lepistö to protect Säteris cage.Even though we dont have any stars, we try to work together as best we can, Säteri said.Up front, a future star for Finland is 16-year-old Mikael Granlund, the youngest player ever to suit up in the national team colours. The slick centre came into this tournament with 37 points in 23 points for the junior team of Kärpät Oulu, which has won four out of the last five SM-Liiga titles. Granlund has grabbed Säteri's attention.Granlunds very young, but also very good, said Säteri. Hes a good guy, and he gets the job done. Hes got a lot of speed and he has good hands.With Tappara, Säteri is performing creditably in his first SM-Liiga season. Despite recording just five wins in 16 games for captain Janne Ojanens club, Säteri sports a 2.07 GAA and .913 save percentage.The 92-kg, 184-cm Toijala product is rewarding the confidence the San Jose Sharks showed by selecting him in the fourth round (106th overall) in this years NHL Draft. His favourite netminder is Vancouvers Roberto Luongo, but hes also excited about potentially following in the footsteps of Sharks-drafted Finnish goalies like Miikka Kiprusoff and Vesa Toskala.Ive heard that San Jose has very good goalie coaching, said Säteri. Im happy to have been drafted by the Sharks, and hopefully in a couple of years I can play there.In his spare time, Säteri enjoys golfing, watching NFL football games, and relaxing in a traditional Finnish sauna. But therell be plenty of time for that in the off-season. How about the upcoming World Junior battles with Latvia and Slovakia?We need to play our own game and trust ourselves, said Säteri. We know we can play. We just need to go get the job done.LUCAS AYKROYD

Live Chat: Do You Have a Right to Your Personal Data?
28 January 2014 9:15 am

Every day, people around the world subject themselves to tests, contributing data for research studies, clinical diagnoses, and care. But should donors have access to their raw data? What right, for example, should a donor have to download the raw output from a genetic screen of her saliva? As technology allows more people to access more information and makes tests once found only in expensive laboratories available and affordable from companies, should we worry about information overload triggering uninformed decisions from consumers? Or is more data always a good thing?
Join us on Thursday, 30 January, at 3 p.m. EST on this page for a live video chat with experts as we discuss the challenges of donor access to raw data.
