It is true that children do get a lot of colds. Those 6 years and younger average about 6-8 colds per year. Otherwise healthy preschoolers might experience respiratory symptoms almost half the time in the approaching cold season, without medical cause for concern.Although the Nobel Prize awaits the scientist who discovers the "cure for the common cold," help is available to make cold misery less troublesome for both child and parent.Discomfort associated with aching and fever: Use acetaminophen (Tylenol) for kids over 3 months and ibuprofen (Advil) for those 6 months and older only when discomfort is present. Never use aspirin in kids under 18 years because of the risk of Reye's Syndrome.Stuffy nose, sneezing: A humidifier or vaporizer in the bedroom works well. In infants, salt water (saline) nose drops and gentle suction with a bulb syringe are helpful. There is no role for antihistamines, decongestants, cough medicines or expectorants in children. These medications do not help kids and their use has been associated with serious side effects in small children. DO NOT USE!Cough: Give half a teaspoon of honey for kids 2-5 years, 1 teaspoon for kids 6-12 years and 2 teaspoons for kids over 12 years. Do not give honey to kids less than one year because of the risk of botulism.Finally, yellow, green slimy snot is a normal part of a cold and NOT a reason to ask for antibiotics. Snot is good. Snot means your body's defense mechanisms are working.Dr. Mohler has practiced family medicine in Grand Junction for 38 years. He has a particular interest in pharmaceutical education.

Path to a Peace Economy
Page 2
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Great Integral Spirit that expresses itself through what we know as creation embarked on a bold and risky experiment in reflective consciousness: bringing forth a species able to step back and to reflect on creation in awe and wonder and to participate as a conscious co-creator in the continued creative unfolding. We humans are that species.
Our reflective consciousness gives us the capacity to choose our future with conscious collective intent. It was a risky experiment, however, because the capacity for self-awareness gives us an ego that can run out of control if it forgets it exists only as part of a larger whole.
In our earliest days, we humans raised our children collectively in the clan, tribe, or village, initiating them to the ways of life and the need to care for our Earth Mother as she in turn cares for us.
Over millennia, as our human consciousness was awakening and our capacities for self-direction grew, we learned to communicate through speech, master fire, domesticate plants and animals, and construct houses of skins, wood, stone, and dried mud. We developed the arts of pottery, painting, weaving, and carving. We undertook vast continental and transcontinental migrations to populate the planet and adapted to vastly different physical topographies and climates. We created complex languages and social codes that allowed for life in larger communities.
Then, some 5,000 years ago, something began to go terribly wrong. We turned from the ways of Earth Community and embraced the ways of Empire. It was a time of separation and forgetting. Community, partnership, and the celebration of life gave way to individualism, domination, and violence.
The few expropriated the wealth of the many. The masculine drove out the feminine. We continued to worship the Sky Father, but turned against our Earth Mother. We came to value the power to kill and destroy more highly than the ability to create and nurture life.
Conquest became the measure of greatness. Economies came to be based on servitude and eventually money became the prime arbiter of human relationships.
Consider the dynamics inherent in a dominator system. With a few on the top and the many on the bottom, everyone is placed in competition with everyone else for the favored positions and the bonds of caring and sharing are broken. The creative energy of the species is redirected from securing the well-being of the tribe to advancing the technological instruments of war and the social instruments of domination.
The winners expropriate the available resources to maintain the system of domination. Positions of power are too often claimed by the most ruthless and psychologically damaged members of society. And so it has been for 5,000 years
If this discussion of Empire sounds familiar, it is for good reason. The kings and emperors have been replaced by corporate CEOs and hedge fund managers, but we are still living in the Era of Empire—and the basic dynamics still hold.
In the past 100 years, we humans have achieved technological mastery beyond the imagination of previous generations. Yet, lacking in the wisdom of place and community that is the heritage of indigenous peoples, the cultures we call mainstream have lost their way — forgetting what it means to be human and denying our connection to the web of planetary life. The time has come to rediscover our humanity and bring ourselves back into balance with our living Earth Mother. Creation has presented us with our final examination to determine whether we are a species worthy of survival. We must not, need not, fail.
When Money Rules
At its core, our current economic crisis is a spiritual crisis framed by this well-known scriptural verse from the Sermon on the Mount:
No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24.
Mammon refers to wealth as an object of worship; the worship of a false god; a form of demonic possession; an evil force in opposition to Life.
Our worship of Mammon is the consequence of an illusion: the illusion that money is wealth and that making money is synonymous with producing wealth. The truth, as Wall Street has so dramatically demonstrated, is very different. Money isn't wealth, and it is quite easy to make lots of money without producing anything of value to the larger society.
Money, the most mysterious of human inventions, a magical number of no meaning or existence outside the human mind, has displaced life as our object of sacred veneration and become the ultimate arbiter of human priorities. Money determines the fate of nations and shapes the boom and bust cycles of economic life. It allows some to live in grand opulence in the midst of scarcity, while confining others to death by starvation in the midst of plenty.
The Economics of Happiness
France hopes to take the lead in shifting emphasis "from a 'production-oriented' measurement system to one focused on the well-being of current and future generations."
This is money as a system of power, a tyranny all the more complete because it is largely invisible to those it enslaves. To liberate ourselves from the tyranny, we must demystify money and recognize that it is a mere number created from nothing with a simple accounting entry when a bank issues a loan. As economist John Kenneth Galbraith once famously observed, the process by which money is created is "so simple it repels the mind."
When you take out a loan from a bank, the bank opens an account in your name and enters the amount of the loan in its ledger. That becomes a liability on the bank's accounts, offset by the corresponding asset of your promise to repay with interest. Two simple accounting entries, and money magically appears from nowhere. This simple fact makes banking a very profitable business and is the key to the ability of the institutions of Wall Street and its global counterparts to rule the world.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, once famously said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws."
That pretty well sums it up. In our current system, this control is centralized in and monopolized by Wall Street institutions that value only money and seek only private accumulation. From a societal perspective it is a devastatingly unwise and destructive arrangement.
Money, particularly money that is created out of nothing without any contribution to the creation of anything of corresponding value, is phantom wealth—it has no substance or intrinsic utility. Creating phantom wealth is a Wall Street specialty. They call it financial innovation. I call it theft.
A Real Wealth Economy
So what is real wealth? We might say it is anything that has a real intrinsic value: land, labor, knowledge, food, education.
Most valuable of all are those forms of wealth that are beyond price: Love, a healthy, happy child, a job that provides a sense of self-worth and contribution, membership in a strong caring community, a healthy vibrant natural environment, peace—none of which find any place on Wall Street balance sheets or in our calculations of GDP.
Pull back the curtain, as the financial crash has done, and the truth is revealed that Wall Street acquires its power by destroying real living wealth to create phantom financial wealth. Wall Street is more than immoral, it is an institutional manifestation of evil.
So what will the New Economy look like, and how will we achieve it?
That means, we rely on support from our readers.

Step 2: Loosely wrap 1-inch strands of hair from the ponytail around its base, fastening loops of hair with a bobby pin underneath the elastic. Proceed until all hair from the ponytail is coiled into a loose updo.
Step 3: Use hairspray to set the style, and flatten frizz with your fingers.

Courses and Registration
All SLIS students register through an online system called AARC. Although dates are subject to change, for current students registration for Fall classes generally takes place in April, registration for Spring classes generally takes place in late October or early November, and registration for Summer classes generally takes place in March. (When specific dates are set, they are announced on SLIS-Info and noted on the SLIS Academic Calendar. "Registration priority" is based on the amount of credits that have been completed plus credits in progress; registration times are assigned and noted in AARC in the weeks leading up to the registration period itself.
Because new students aren't yet familiar with AARC, the registration timetable is different and generally takes place two months prior to the beginning of their starting term. This timetable has been specifically designed to allow students to be in touch with their faculty advisor to discuss course planning before registering for their first set of courses.
In some cases, registration cannot be done directly by students online or other questions arise. The SLIS registration process is overseen by the Director of Curriculum and Communications; specific questions should be addressed to email@example.com. Please see the "Online Registration" link (to the left) for more information about how to use AARC.

text: I would like to undertake the Satipatthana contemplation of viewing a corpse. Now in this day and age it is not possible to sit in a charnel ground to do so. There are some modern meditation teachers who recommend viewing autopsy's and such and also dead animals (Ledi Sayadaw). I am worried about the morality of viewing dead bodies online. Some sites are very questionable and i would like to find one that is specifically created for the Satipatthana contemplation of viewing a corpse. I was wondering how others here practice this contemplation and if there are certain websites or other ways of practicing this contemplation that you find helpful. Thank you.

Benefit for Mellencamp raises $21,000
Hundreds of lime green T-shirts bearing the inscription, "Miracle Girl," brightened the already cheerful atmosphere at the South Adams cafeteria on Saturday night, celebrating the recovery of local woman, Kaye Mellencamp, and her healing from a brain hemorrhage that occurred earlier this year.
At the time, physicians at Parkview North Hospital had told family members that their loved one had a one in 10 chance of survival. However, on a Sunday morning, with an attending nurse named Hope by her side, strange things began to happen that signaled a possible turn around. That moment was the beginning of a heralded recovery that has medical professionals using it as an example in hospitals around the state these days.
Incredibly, Kaye, tagged by family members and many friends as, "Miracle Girl," stood by the door greeting those attending her community-wide benefit on Saturday evening. By the time the fundraiser was over, at least $21,000 had been collected toward expenses resulting from her stay in the ICU at Parkview and family trips to Indianapolis and Fort Wayne to be by the side of their loved one.
"Wonderful and overwhelming," were the first two expressive words that came to Kaye's mind on Saturday evening as she looked at the huge community turnout on her behalf.
"I wouldn't be here without the prayers of these people," said Mellencamp. "I can't thank people enough for their prayers and support through all of this."
"She became known around the world because of Facebook," said her husband, Tony Mellencamp. "But this community, our home people, stood next to us. They said that she had less than a 10 percent chance less than a few months ago and here she is. Thank you very much, our home community.
"I'm overwhelmed, just like I was with the whole event, but it's so much better in this setting than it was the other when we were at the hospital," continued Mellencamp. "It's amazing, so many times I am approached by people who say, 'are you related to the woman that had that miracle?' The professor at a class at the Randalia Campus used her first scan at a class there. He said, 'look at this; it's once in a lifetime that anyone witnesses something like this.'"
Tony noted that Kaye has now recovered to the place where she can drive on her own and walk short distances without assistance.
"She's able to get on the computer and do QuickBooks," Mellencamp said. "She can do books again, but it's hard for her to multitask."
Tammy Bulmahn, who spearheaded the fundraiser, said that she was partly driven by her compassion for Kaye, a school friend, and the fact that her husband underwent treatment for a brain tumor three years.
"It's unbelievable the way this community supports and helps when someone is in need," said Bulmahn. "I wasn't sure about doing this benefit; God put this on my mind and I actually prayed about it. I felt that He was calling me to do something for this family and I obeyed Him.
"She is a true miracle, a really true miracle," continued Bulmahn. "She changed my outlook on life. I went through this with my husband and now I prayed through this with her."
"You've got to keep hoping a lot and have the will to live," commented Bulmahn's husband, Jeff. "I put complete faith in God during my time. Prayer does a lot; it's not just prescriptions that bring healing. Prayer does healing. It's amazing the way this community comes together; sometimes that's the best medicine."
Jason Banter, who also helped lead the benefit described his reaction to the community support as, "blessed for the family."
"She is a true miracle, to see where she is today is really an amazing story," Banter said.
Taya Augsburger, who helped recruit gifts and donations for the benefit, admitted that she was hesitant in asking for donations, initially. But when she went into the Amish community, her attitude was uplifted immediately.
"The Amish were so very giving," said Augsburger. "They were also so supportive and impressed with what had happened to Kaye. Everyone feels that Kaye has shown the community the strength it takes to be a survivor."
Adams Central freshman Noah Hirschy said that students, likewise, have been deeply impressed with God's working in Mellencamp's life.
"It breaks my heart what she went through in all of this, but her faith is so amazing to all of us," said Hirschy. "It makes me think how grateful we should be to God for all that He does."
Another one of Mellencamp's close school friends, Donna Boeglin, said that the more she got involved, the more she realized what a great event she was a part of, and how special the faith of her friend is to everyone. Saturday night, Boeglin's eyes filled with tears as she watched Mellencamp smiling and greeting people.
"Every time I look at her it brings tears to my eyes," said Boeglin. "When I pray, I want to cry for her. This all made me believe in prayer like I never had before. It was prayer that got her through this."
