If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Everyone struggles with disappointments, setbacks and missed opportunities. Why do some people seem able to bounce back and learn from these experiences, while others never rally and live a life of disappointment and frustration?
There is no easy answer, but Martin Seligman, Ph.D., addresses these issue in his book, "Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life." Dr. Seligman is a professor of psychology, a former president of the American Psychological Association, a credentialed, respected professional. He suggests, with ample evidence, that you can learn to see that light at the end of the tunnel. You can learn to see that the glass is half full, and adjust your reaction to the situation.
Although I agree with those who've commented that our past stays with us, that doesn't mean we are prisoners of our past. We can make choices. We can create options to maximize our inner peace and serenity, our health, and our sense of self-worth.
Of course, it would be wonderful if everyone had nurturing, affirming parents or role models, but that's not always the case. But having one person who truly believes in you can make all the difference in the world. Please share your insights. We each struggle with the same issues of affirmation.

A saner and healthier way to look at the world is to acknowledge its problems - both the problems in your own life and the problems in society at large - and both to try to solve those problems rather than just accepting them (social problems as well as personal ones) and to find things that you enjoy or find meaningful anyway. My favorite movie, The Seventh Seal, is set in medieval Sweden during the Black Death, but even in the midst of all the suffering, death and social breakdown the protagonist finds one thing that brings him joy: sitting in the grass with his friends on a sunny day, eating strawberries with cream. Maybe, he muses, this is what life is about. And I would agree - find small pleasures wherever you can, but never fall into the delusion that your future will be wonderful or that people get what they deserve. Also: understand that life is not fair, but NEVER accept it. Always try to make life and the world more fair than it currently is. If you take the attitude of "I've got mine, who cares about you," you might be a happy person, but you certainly won't be a good person.
Optimism is actually frequently a destructive force, not a helpful one. Optimistic people lack compassion for people less fortunate than themselves (believing that they could solve all their problems if they only tried) and optimism often leads to poor decisions, such as buying property you can't really afford in the hopes that someday you'll make more money be able to afford it. The relentless pressure toward optimism in the medical community is also a great source of suffering to seriously ill patients, who either feel that there is something wrong with them because they are fearful or sad or that they are being judged as bad people because of their lack of a "positive attitude." Finally, optimism frequently just sets you up for disappointment when things don't turn out as well as you expect. If you expect the worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised a lot!
Everyone should read Barbara Ehrenreich's "Bright-Sided," a brilliant expose of the charlatans who push "positive thinking" as a panacea and the devastating personal and societal consequences that result (including the 2008-2009 financial crisis and many forms of social injustice).
To say the least, this is something that really helps many people. Stress can be quite a buster.
Years ago I read a long article on "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy." It said that feelings follow thoughts, so to change your feelings change your thoughts first. For example, if someone always mentions that you never win a tennis match, you can tell yourself that you are glad to get lots of exercise in the sunshine, and you made one good friend here who goes out with you after tennis. After thinking positive thoughts, your feelings will be more positive. I use that technique a lot and feel better.
Self-help is good for someone who's temporarily having a tough time. But when you've been down so long that you can't remember being up, it isn't really helpful to be told you can solve this on your own. You cannot emphasize the positive if you can't see any positive to emphasize. In such a case, you really do need help. And despite what many, if not most, people will tell you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking help. If you couldn't fix your plumbing, wouldn't you get outside help -- like from a plumber? If you couldn't fix your roof, wouldn't you get outside help -- from a roofer maybe? Why not get help with your damaged psyche from someone else -- like maybe a psychiatrist?! He/she just might know someone you don't.
Clinical depression must be treated medically through medication, counseling and maybe even self help. Those of us who have stress at work, raising a family, job loss or are a caregiver 24/7 also suffer from a mild depression. As a caregiver 24/7, I've found that taking a basic yoga class, trying to use meditation or just taking deep breaths can be relaxing. Doing what you've learned for a few minutes or more a day, does work to help one relax and become more positive. It helps bring on acceptance and gratitude. Looking out a fresh April snow with severe weather predicted, I try focus on the beauty of the moment (we ran errands this morning) and realize that this too shall pass. I'm also looking forward to doing some yoga/meditation while my husband takes his needed 1 hour nap---the time I take for myself. Love and peace to everyone who reads this.
I think self-help books and being told that we can alleviate anxiety and depression with positive thinking may work for people with somewhat mild cases. Unfortunately those that need help the most can find that self-help solutions actually make things worse by lowering self-esteem when we fail to get better. Also unfortunately, people with severe problems have hope that self-help works, and thus avoid seeking professional help. We just keep trying the new wave of programs that come out hoping the claims and endorsements are true.
People with severe problems don't necessarily realize they have a condition that cannot be successfully treated alone.
We need to remember that severe mental health conditions cannot be wished away any more than someone with diabetes can wish to make insulin, no matter how many books are read and how much effort is exerted.
Seligman's book is amazing -- I used it when a young boy at the childhood development center had the signs which later can result in major depression--his mother was just amazed that in a 2-hour lab class with the little boy he turned around. She purchased the book so she would understand it. Be sure to read Dr. Seligman's endnotes -- some of them are just hilarious. I read about 8 of his books for a psychology presentation and the prof and other students were all very interested in his work.
we've been struggling with a 21 year old grand son who lives with us who now accepts that he has enough value to stay alive. We are having a hard time taking the next step to successfully encourage hims to engage in developing his life. We would love any suggestions you may have.
I recently heard this - It doesn't matter if your glass is half full or half empty. The real point is to enjoy what is in the glass. It seems that to learn optimism and forget the past, enjoying your present is the key. Mindfullness is the tool to help do that. It's not an easy task, but worth the effort.
But he did not really say anything. Other than it is possible to change ... Any suggestions on how??
Your artcle just said absolutely nothing about ways to be optimistic, just that some people did not grow up with supportive parents. What is your message?
The result of my spirit being positive is in being able to see opportunities available to solve my problem at hand. If I am depressed, or too anxious these opportunities do not seem visible or attainable.
Also, after a good night of sleep, my mind naturally sees life differently than the night before. Sometimes, I wake up with the opposite feeling about the situation or a hidden meaning of a difficult problem.
Eyes wide OPEN or Closed to life. But how do we get there?
Seems like the fastest way is feeling GRATEFUL!

Light Swirl Coffee Cake with Maple Glaze
This months FoodTV.ca's Cooking Clubs Challenge was a Light Swirl Coffee Cake with Maple Glaze by Christine Cushing. I just couldn't pass up on the chance to make a tasty sounding recipe with maple syrup. The coffee cake itself sounded interesting because of its use apple butter. I have been interested in trying apple butter for a while and this was the perfect opportunity. Along with the apple butter the coffee cake uses yogurt and thus promised to be nice and moist. The coffee cake also advertises a swirl which sounded like fun. The swirl is formed by half of the coffee cake being chocolate and the other half being plain. Overall the coffee cake sounded pretty good. The recipe called for the coffee cake to be baked in a bunt cake pan but I did not have one so I just used a standard 8x8 inch baking pan. Both the apple butter and the coffee cake were easy to make. The coffee cake was nice and moist and light and fluffy. The maple glaze was of course really good. I could not really taste the apple butter in the coffee cake but then again I could easily spread some apple butter onto a slice of the coffee cake. My favorite way to enjoy baked goods is with melting butter while still warm from the oven and this coffee cake was no exception.
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup butter unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup plain yogurt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons apple butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Beat in the butter and half of the yogurt and continue to beat for a few minutes.
3. Mix the eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, apple butter and the rest of the yogurt in another large bowl.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in 3 batches beating in between additions.
5. Pour half of he batter into another bowl.
6. Mix the cocoa powder into one of the bowls.
7. Pour the chocolate batter back into the rest of the batter and fold 2 times.
8. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan (a bunt pan or an 8x8 inch baking pan).
9. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until a tooth pick poked into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes.
10. Bring the maple syrup, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger to a boil in a small sauce pan.
11. Let the coffee cake cool and drizzle with the glaze.

Playing to the Narrative
One of the driving forces in sports today is the idea of the narrative. By definition, a narrative is the representation in art of an event or story. Narratives can be on the nose, but they can often be lazy cookie cutter analysis. That said, it can be quite a driving force in storytelling.
LeBron James had the narrative of being unable to come up clutch. With the game on the line, James would often pass to an open teammate for a game-winning shot. Even though it was the fundamentally sound play, James was lambasted by the media for not taking the last shot. Kobe Bryant is often cited as a clutch player when he's often missed more game-winning shots than he's made. Dirk Nowitzki has had his own narrative as many labeled him soft and said he couldn't be a player that could lead a team to a title.
With a new cast of characters, there's already a set of narratives in place for all of them. Will they hold true or will they be broken? In order to decide, it's wise to establish what the narratives are.

The easy answer is yes.
But, more specifically, BistroMD meals are created to supply a low glycemic load, which is based on the glycemic index. For those who aren't familiar with the glycemic index, it is simply a measure of how much certain foods raise your blood sugar. A level of 100 is used as a starting point, based on how much your blood sugar goes up after eating a standard amount of sugar (glucose). A rapid rise and fall in blood sugar after meals is one of the biochemical events that can increase hunger. Most interesting is that some foods raise the blood sugar even higher than glucose, and these foods are not necessarily sweet or "unhealthy". This is the reason that some diets do not recommend carrots or watermelon as part of a meal plan - - as the glycemic index of these foods are higher than other fruits and vegetables.
The Index is a useful tool, but most meals that are eaten contain a variety of foods with varying glycemic indexes. The combinations of food types will affect the glycemic index of a meal. Let's break that down.
For example, if a food containing protein and fat, (like a piece of fish or chicken) is eaten during the same meal as vegetables and rice (which contain glucose), the blood sugar will be affected differently than if the rice was eaten by itself. The combined effect on blood sugar by all the different types of foods in a meal makes up what we call the glycemic load. Diets containing meals with a low glycemic load have been found to be beneficial for weight loss, specifically by controlling hunger and for improving medical conditions such as diabetes. BistroMD meals are all designed with a low glycemic load in mind. This is the science behind our modus operandi of always serving protein with some healthy fats alongside carbohydrates on the diet. This is also why the meal plan is high in fiber, as higher fiber foods help lower the glycemic load. Carrots are not a forbidden food because they contain fiber and supply a relative low amount of carbohydrate per serving. So while their glycemic index may be high, the glycemic load is not.

solutions to help you achieve life-transforming wellness. Our diet delivery program

Natural wines from Chile? Pues, sí! Native Burgundian Louis-Antoine Luyt is leading the charge in natural, terroir- driven winemaking in Chile, working with independent farmers throughout the Maule Valley. In a country where large-scale,mass-production winemaking is the norm, Luyt sources fruit from dry farmed, organically tended vineyards that are plowed by horse and managed in as hands-off a way as possible. "Trequilemu" comes from vineyards planted to 70 year-old Carignan vines where the iron-rich clay soils impart a distinctive minerality to this perfumed and brambly red. It was vinified by carbonic maceration and aged for eight months in used oak barrels.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

Corn Gluten contains 100% corn gluten meal, a naturally occurring substance, which inhibits the growth of a seed's tiny feeder roots. This causes the seedlings to die before they germinate. Since most weeds germinate by seed corn gluten will kill the seeds before they sprout.
Corn gluten meal offers a non-toxic, yet effective alternative to chemical-based weed and feed products for weed control in gardens and lawns, paths and driveways.
Features & Benefits:
- Organic fertilizer feeds lawns naturally
- Will not burn plants, nutrients released over time
- Helps build strong turf
- Use for pre-emergent weed control
- Comes in granular form
- Easy to apply by hand or using a spreader
- Safe and environmentally friendly
- Meets National Organic Program (NOP) standards
- OMRI certified for organic use
- Made in the USA
Organic Fertilizer
As a fertilizer, corn gluten meal is a rich natural source of nitrogen (8-0-0). Apply any time of year to fertilize your lawn, shrubs and transplants. Nitrogen is released steadily over a 3 to 4 month period after application. Nutrients come from organic, non-GMO corn gluten meal with 100% active ingredients. No animal manure or fillers.
Weed Control
Corn gluten acts as a natural "pre-emergent" - it inhibits seed germination by drying out a seed as soon as it begins to sprout. These qualities make corn gluten an ideal 'weed n feed' product.
Among the weeds controlled with pre-emergent application of corn gluten are crabgrass, creeping bentgrass, smart weed, dandelions, redroot pigweed, purslane, lambsquarter, foxtail, barnyard grass, and Bermuda grass.
Apply to lawns in spring, around when forsythia and early spring bulbs are in bloom. Apply again to lawns in the fall. For transplants, apply corn gluten immediately after transplanting to prevent weeds from sprouting in soil and competing with your plants. Effects are cumulative. Results improve with repeated use over time.
How To Use:
Apply 20 lbs. per 1,000 square feet of lawn, garden or flowerbed area each spring and fall.
Corn gluten can be applied by hand or by using a spreader. The spreader setting depends on the brand of spreader, but for a Scott spreader, your setting should be 12-13. You can tell pretty easily once you start spreading if the setting is too high or low.
Notes on use from Dr. Nick Christians at Iowa State University:
Corn gluten meal works by inhibiting the root formation of germinating plants. It generally does not inhibit the roots of mature plants or transplants until you reach very high rates (80 pounds/1000 sq. ft. or higher). It should be applied before germination of the weeds. The weed will germinate and usually forms a shoot, but does not form a root. After germination, a short drying period is needed to kill the plants that have germinated but have not formed a root. Timing is critical. If it is too wet during germination, the plants will recover and form a root (this is also true of chemical pre-emergent herbicides).
If it does not rain in 5 days of application, water it in with approximately 1/4 inch of water. Then leave a drying period after germination.
It will remain effective for about 5 to 6 weeks following germination.
It does not work well with seeded garden crops unless they are seeded deeply (radishes seem to be the exception and there may be others). Transplants or mature plants generally work well in beds treated with corn gluten. Some producers put down a band, work it into the upper inch of soil, and then put the transplant in the band.
In garden and crop production, growers generally work out their own system, depending on their understanding of the crop they are growing and the weeds they are trying to control.
Organic corn gluten is composed of 100% granulated corn gluten meal with nothing added. People and pets can use the lawn immediately after application. Corn gluten will not harm beneficial insects, soil organisms, pond or stream life.

Questions about the Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer 8-0-0 - 50 lbs
- From Di at 7/15/10 8:35 PM
- does this KILL existing dandelions and clover and broadleaf?
how much would I need to purchase for 2 acres?
- Corn gluten is a pre-emergent - it kills weeds before they can sprout. It will not kill existing weeds in your lawn. A 20 lb. bag will cover 1000 sq.ft. of lawn.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- does this KILL existing dandelions and clover and broadleaf?
- From Jim at 8/28/10 10:00 AM
- Can this be applied in the fall (Michigan) and be effective the following spring?
- The recommended seasonal applications for corn gluten are spring and fall. Corn Gluten Meal is effective as a pre emergent for about 6 weeks, providing the soil is dry after application. After that is becomes a fertilizer. Since, generally, fall is cooler and moister than late spring, applying CGM in the fall, for weed suppression, would not work as well as it would in late spring.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Dave at 11/29/10 7:01 AM
- So let me see if I understand this correctly.Corn gluten is only a pre-emergent as long as it does not get wet?
Corn gluten meal works by inhibiting root formation in weeds at the time of germination. It doesn't inhibit roots of mature plants or transplants unless it is used at a very high rate of 80 pounds/1000 sq. ft. or more. Weeds germinate and form a shoot, but no root, inhibiting growth. A short drying period is required after germination, because too much water may allow the plants to recover and form roots.
Timing is the key to success when using corn gluten meal. It should be applied before the targeted weed emerges above the soil. Since a drying period is required after application, you should make sure no rain is forecast for a few days after application.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From John at 3/21/11 9:54 AM
- From Jaime at 3/29/11 2:20 PM
- Do you use a broadcast spreader with this and is so, what setting should be used?
- Corn gluten can be broadcast by hand or by using a spreader. The spreader setting depends on the brand of spreader. A Scott spreader should be set at 12 - 13. You can tell pretty easily once you start spreading if the setting is too high or low.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Doug Boone at 4/6/11 9:46 AM
- I have seen dogs eat corn gluten organic fertilizer. Is the product safe for dogs to eat?
- Bradfield Organics Corn Gluten Organic Fertilizer is safe should the dog eat any of it. However, it's a waste of good fertilizer. Once corn gluten is applied, it should be wetted. This breaks down the granules and the dog will be less likely to try to eat it.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Diana Palumbo at 5/8/11 8:57 AM
- I live on Long island and would like to clarify a schedule for application. If I plan on seeding my lawn in the fall I assume I would do that first in Sep? Would I then wait 60 days to apply the corn gluten meal? And then reverse the process in the spring? We are trying to build our lawn and kill the dandelions and crabgrass that are taking over. Thanks
- Yes, you have the right idea with regards to scheduling corn gluten application. The fall application is intended to suppress hardy over-winter weeds. The spring application is more important because most weeds germinate in late winter and early spring. Your plan to seed in early September will give your new lawn time to get established, so you can focus on the weeds in spring. If you wait to seed until spring, it's a tigher window to try to supress weeds and still leave time for the new grass seeds to germinate and sprout.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

How annoyed are guests when stylists try to discuss retail?
The answer might surprise you! In the October 2012 issue of In Style, 66 percent of readers who responded to a survey said they weren't annoyed. Only 34 percent said they were. Translation: At least two-thirds of customers want to be informed about retail and given options.
Price is not the problem when you participate in a value discussion with customers. Focus on who your target customer is – don't assume! Ask them about their needs.
Customers make purchases based on emotional reasons, so use key words and phrases that trigger this process: 'life-changing,' 'American ingenuity,' 'you deserve, superior technology,' 'designed for professional use,' 'long-lasting results,' 'user-friendly.' Provide value information on professional retail lines vs. drug store discounts. Be authentic, keep it simple.
At our salon, we've increased retail sales by staying true to some key points:
Display your commitment to the brands you represent. Start by making your display and counters attractive and keeping them clean; give them the prominence they deserve in your front area. Change and refresh displays frequently. Keep displays well-lighted and make sure you back bar represents all of your retail brands.
Ask reps and vendors for their advice on displays. Use props, stands, posters, banners, flat-screen TVs and match your display to the lines. Keep shelves accessible and provide customers easy access. Make sure displays don't detract from the product.
Provide brand stories on display counters. Tell clients what your favorites are and why. Place product education and price information on shelves next to the brands. Promote weekly and seasonal products with small displays near your cash register.
Create a yearlong promotion calendar. Work with the seasons, celebrations – be consistent and stay committed. Make sure your entire team is fully committed, educated and confident.
Create a rewards program. Offer samples with a purchase and points for each dollar spent at your establishment to create loyalty to you and the brands.
Promote new brands. Celebrate being the first to introduce a new brand to your market – don't worry about your local competition.
Work with your staff. Break your team into small groups and ask them about their favorite product, how they came to use it, how often they sell it and the results they've seen. Have the team exercise and perceive how a customer sees, feels, hears, smells – notice their first impressions. Perform role-playing exercises.
Stock the back bar. Remove all back bar products from service providers' stations and have them clearly display only products they'll use during the service. Ask them to explain to clients why and when to use them.
In short, treat and value your retail just as you would other aspects of your business and profession: Show you care and your team will engage. Make their sales targets achievable and keep the process fun and simple.
Share responsibility in the same way you share success: Be real, original and authentic. Empower, encourage and commit.
If you are truly dedicated to success and acquire the correct tools for your journey, no one will get in your way.

Obama gets diplomatic coup before heading to refugee-flooded Jordan
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- President Barack Obama arrived in refugee-flooded Jordan on Friday after scoring a diplomatic coup just before leaving Israel when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Turkey for a 2010 commando raid that killed nine activists on a Turkish vessel in a Gaza-bound flotilla.
The apology, long sought by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, eased strained feelings between Turkey and Israel, two vital U.S. allies in the Middle East.
It happened in a phone call to Erdogan during a final meeting between Obama and Netanyahu at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv minutes before Air Force One departed for Jordan to complete the president's Middle East swing. It is the first foreign trip of his second term.
A statement from Netanyahu's office said the apology included an offer of compensation. However, there was confusion later when the Israeli government dropped a reference in its original statement to normalized relations between the countries with a return of ambassadors.
There also was no word on whether the once-close nations would resume the joint military exercises that were suspended after the flotilla raid.
Turkey had been prosecuting four Israeli soldiers in absentia and Israel initially said the two leaders agreed to the cancellation of legal steps against the troops. Later, however, its amended statement omitted that action as well.
Regardless of such confusion, Obama hailed the development as an important step forward for both countries.
"For the last two years, I've spoken to both Prime Minister Netanyahu and Prime Minister Erdogan about why this rupture has to be mended," he told a news conference after talks with Jordan's King Abdullah II. "During my visit (to Israel), it appeared that the timing was good for that conversation to take place."
At the airport earlier Friday, Obama said, he and Netanyahu "agreed that the moment was right" to place the call to Erdogan and "they were able to begin the process of rebuilding normal relations between the two countries."
Obama arrives in Jordan on last leg of trip
The later stop in Jordan focused on the civil war in neighboring Syria, with Abdullah telling reporters that the conflict has caused 460,000 refugees to flood his country and more were on the way.
That equals 10% of Jordan's population, and the total could double by the end of the year, the king said in asking for more help from the international community as his country also deals with internal reforms in response to economic woes that are raising public dissatisfaction.
Obama said he was working with Congress to provide an additional $200 million to Jordan this year to help deal with the refugee influx, but he remained steadfast in his refusal to pledge U.S. military assistance to the Syrian opposition movement, as called for by critics at home and abroad.
"The United States often finds itself in a situation where, if it goes in militarily, then it's criticized for going in militarily, and if it doesn't go in militarily, then people say, 'why aren't you doing something militarily?'" he noted, arguing that a multilateral approach would yield more effective and accepted results.
At the same time, Obama repeated past warnings that his stance on military involvement could change if the Syrian government uses chemical weapons.
In Israel, the last-minute diplomacy added a flourish to Obama's first visit to the Jewish state as president.
While the two nations have a key strategic partnership, with the United States supplying military aid and diplomatic support as Israel's most vital ally, Obama and Netanyahu had famously frosty relations during the president's first term.
With both beginning new terms after Obama's re-election last year and Netanyahu's recent formation of a new government, the president's visit was an opportunity to reset the relationship and signal unified positions on major issues such as the Middle East peace process and Iran's efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
Obama and Netanyahu met several times during the president's three days in Israel, which also included a state dinner where Israeli President Shimon Peres awarded him the country's highest civilian honor.
Before leaving Israel, Obama paid tribute to the father of modern Zionism in a symbolic visit to Theodor Herzl's grave.
Joined by Peres, Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Obama also visited the grave of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995.
Both stops were intended to bolster Obama's standing with Israelis by demonstrating his understanding of the history of the Jewish state.
Obama placed a stone at each grave from the grounds of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington in a gesture to link the African-American struggle for freedom with the struggle by the Israeli people for a homeland.
The president also visited the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem, where he turned up the "eternal flame" of remembrance of the millions of Jewish victims of Nazi death camps in World War II.
Obama called for the world to follow the example of nations that intervened in Nazi genocide.
"Here, alongside man's capacity for evil, we are also reminded of man's capacity for good," he said. "The rescuers, the righteous among nations, who refused to be bystanders, and in their noble acts of courage, we see how this place, this accounting of horror, is in the end a source of hope."
In another cultural stop Friday, Obama also visited the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which is on the West Bank, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
After putting himself in the middle of the historic tensions between Israelis and Palestinians this week, Obama then headed to Jordan, a military and intelligence partner that has been facing trying times.
Jordan's leader under duress
Abdullah has a reputation for benevolence, unlike autocratic rulers such as Syria's Bashar al-Assad or deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. One house of the Jordanian parliament is democratically elected.
However, a bad economy and allegations of corruption by public officials have stoked dissatisfaction with Abdullah.
Now, the country wedged between the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Syria faces more pressure from the refugees continuing to cross its borders.
In November, crowds took to the streets calling for Abdullah's downfall because of rising gasoline prices.
More recently, comments attributed to Abdullah in the The Atlantic caused further anger toward the king, who was quoted as calling the opposition Muslim Brotherhood a "Masonic cult" and referring to tribal elders in his country as "old dinosaurs."
The royal palace denied that Abdullah made the comments.
Young Israelis applaud Obama
In Israel, Obama tried Thursday to invigorate the stalled Middle East peace process, urging young Israelis to pressure their leaders to seek peace with Palestinians while acknowledging the Jewish state's historical right to exist and defend itself from continuing threats.
In a speech in Jerusalem that Obama had said would lay out his vision for the region, the president urged Israelis to look at the world through the eyes of Palestinians but also said enemies of Israel must change their rhetoric and tactics to reflect modern reality.
"You are not alone," Obama said in both English and Hebrew, prompting a standing ovation when he declared that "those who adhere to the ideology of rejecting Israel's right to exist might as well reject the earth beneath them and the sky above, because Israel is not going anywhere."
When Obama mentioned the name of Abbas in his speech, some boos erupted in the Jerusalem Convention Center among the audience of mostly young Israelis. He also was interrupted at one point by a protester's shouts, causing the president to joke that the heckling "made me feel at home," in reference to the caustic political climate in Washington.
He urged Israelis to empathize with the plight of Palestinians, using direct and harsh imagery to make his point, and he drew applause when he criticized the Israeli government's controversial policy of building new settlements in disputed territories.
Symbols and gestures
Hours before the speech on the second day of his Middle East swing, two rockets fired from Palestinian-controlled Gaza landed in southern Israel.
They caused no injuries or major damage, but served as a symbolic welcome to Obama's visit to the West Bank later in the day.
In another symbolic moment, Obama received the Presidential Medal of Distinction on Thursday night from Peres at the state dinner that emphasized the close ties between their countries.
In what Netanyahu called a key development of Obama's visit, the leaders announced new talks on extending U.S. military assistance to Israel for another 10 years past the current agreement, which expires in 2017.
Palestinian territories
During his earlier visit to Ramallah in the West Bank, Obama stressed the need for direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians for a two-state solution.
"The Palestinian people deserve an end to occupation and the daily indignities that come with it," he said at a news conference with Abbas, adding that Palestinians deserve "a future of hope" and a "state of their own."
The core issues right now, Obama said, are achieving sovereignty for Palestinians and security for Israel.
Abbas, however, said the Israeli settlements are "more than a hurdle to peace," calling them illegal and saying it was Israel's duty to stop building them.
He envisioned a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with Jerusalem as capital -- a scenario unacceptable to Israel.
CNN's John King and Jessica Yellin reported from Israel, and CNN's Ben Brumfield contributed to this report written by Tom Cohen in Washington.

SB 126 is bad and unfair public policy
Friday, April 12, 2013
By Daniel Gage, Director of Communications and Public Affairs
So what's in SB 126? For starters, provisions that would dictate how dealers are compensated by manufacturers for doing warranty and recall work, allowing for rates to be unilaterally and solely determined by the dealer. Warranty customers are captive customers — dealers incur no advertising or marketing expense in this regard. And by state law, your neighborhood repair professional cannot compete with the local car dealer to do that warranty fix. The lack of competition — coupled with state mandated reimbursement at retail levels — certainly doesn't bode well for consumers.
Most showroom improvement projects are voluntary and often funded, at least in part, by the manufacturer. If SB 126 passes as written, manufacturers will have little influence in facility improvement projects, even if they pay for them. Sound fair to you?
The auto industry is currently experiencing a renaissance after several years of bad economic times. Some automakers' very survival was in question. There may be a handful of dealers who feel they were not treated with the respect they deserved during that difficult period. But those issues were the basis of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association's last significant expansion of the state's franchise statute. Now they need another bite at the same apple?

One of the jewels in the Museum's crown is its drawing collection, numbering over 8,000 sheets. Collected since 1816, this distinctive trove is the country's earliest public drawing collection. It is also one of the finest, whose strength resides in its unparalleled late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century material to furnish a comprehensive survey of American art from its inception, dominated by European artists, up through the 1860s, by which time native-born artists had asserted an American identity. Stellar clusters after that time include around 640 drawings by James Carroll Beckwith, ten of which are the earliest portraits of John Singer Sargent known; six sheets by Sargent and watercolors by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Beginning with rare colonial objects collected for their historical interest, the collection documents major events in the history of the nation. It also records the cultural firmament, for example, the highly significant 217 16th-century watercolors of European birds by Pierre Eskrich and colleagues collected by their donor that antedate the publication of the first printed ornithological treatises.
While panoramic in scope, the New-York Historical Society's drawing collection encompasses large holdings by a single artist or group. Among the highlights are the 500 watercolors by John James Audubon, including all 435 preparatory for The Birds of America. These national treasures form the centerpiece of the Historical Society's Audubon holdings, the largest repository of Auduboniana in the world. Others are the 221 "outline" drawings of George Catlin recording Native American culture; an incredibly rich cluster of drawings by Hudson River School artists such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Frederick Kensett; and all the known watercolors by William Guy Wall for the seminal The Hudson River Portfolio (1820–1825), the namesake of the nation's first indigenous landscape school that set the itinerary for the American Grand Tour. It also numbers over 350 drawings and sketchbooks of Asher B. Durand.
Landscape, including cityscapes, is another significant category; the earliest is a 1650 view of New Amsterdam, after which a legion of draftsmen recorded New World topography. Following on their heels are followed by a cache of 194 works by William Rickarby Miller; twenty-seven watercolors by George Harvey, eighteen for his "Atmospheric Landscapes"; and seventy-five stunning works on paper by Thomas H. Hotchkiss. In addition, there are fascinating rare sketchbooks; a dozen panoramas, most spectacularly an eight-part one of Manhattan in 1842; 123 sheets by Baroness Hyde de Neuville; and watercolors by Nicolino Calyo, notably his large gouaches of the Great Fire of 1835 and his "Cries" of New York street vendors. Social realism in scenes by Robert Henri and Raphael Soyer, coupled with views by Oscar Bluemner, Richard Haas, Frederick Brosen, Eve Ashheim and Béatrice Coron, bring this category into recent times.
Portraits, some portraying historical figures like Thomas Jefferson comprise another copious category. Noteworthy are pastels by James Sharples and Francis Cotes, John Vanderlyn's likeness of Robert Fulton, Native American portraits by Saint-Mémin and Albert Bierstadt, likenesses by folk artists, eighty-eight watercolors by Enit Kaufman (a Who's Who), and many self-portraits of artists. Among the over 359 silhouettes 24 are by the acknowledged master of the medium Auguste Edouart.
Around 4,000 works by illustrators feature landscapes and portraits or illustrate literary or journalistic works, as in the cases of Felix Octavius Darley, Charles Dana Gibson, William Glackens and Chesley Bonestell. Exceptions include around 130 documentary Civil War sketches by eyewitness "sketch" artists before the widespread use of photography. So rich is the collection that it defies categorization. Unusual sheets range from watercolors by David Cusick, one of the first Native American artists, to frakturs, to works by graffiti artists, among them Tracy 168 known for his "Wild Style."

Socialite's climb halted by unfolding scandal

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jill Kelley's attempt to climb the Tampa social ladder — the rungs of which included some high-ranking military officials — has come to an ignominious halt. Accounts of lavish parties at her bay front mansion have been replaced by reports of her family's financial woes and other dirty laundry, and claims that she traded on her acquaintance with David Petraeus to try to further lucrative business dealings. Now, even her "Friends of MacDill" Air Force base access pass has been unceremoniously revoked.

Lapeer man winner of $337M Powerball jackpot
Winning ticket sold at gas station in Lapeer, Mich.
A 44-year-old former railroad engineer from Lapeer has been revealed as the winner of a $337 million Powerball jackpot.
Donald Lawson introduced himself Friday during a press conference, saying he wasn't sure what he was going to do with the money yet.
"I'm going to escape for now, go somewhere safe and think about it," he said.
Lawson said he played the lottery often and had help from "above" when he bought the winning ticket on Aug. 15.
"I didn't really pick them, my hand just went," he said.
Lawson said as soon as he found out he had won, he put the ticket in his bible - and then quit his job.
He's opted to take the cash option, which gives him $224.6 million.
He said he'll probably travel and make sure the rest of his family is taken care.
Lawson is the father of two daughters and was born in Arkansas. He moved to Lapeer 10 years ago.
Lawson's win is the largest single jackpot win in the history of the Michigan Lottery and the third largest in the history of the Powerball.
