I love you Dad 42 years I've waited, Waited to meet you, The man everyone denied. 42 years they kept us apart. After 42 years we have finally found each other, I do believe we've known each other forever somehow.

The day I found out my life has been a lie
You would think by the age of 40 you would know what and where you life is, or a least have a clue... BUT THEN.. You wake up in a great mood and it all changes; you find out that your past has just been a bunch of lies and deceit. You close your eyes and hope that you are just having a very twisted dream or really bad nightmare, but then you pinch yourself, since that is what you always hear people saying, but usually they say it in a positive way. So I sit here and think what do I do now. I have always had the theory that you can not be considered an adult until you stop whining about your past and blaming everyone for your problems, failures etc. And this theory has really helped me ou… [more]

To Anastasia Krupnik, being ten is very confusing. For one thing, she has this awful teacher who can't understand why Anastasia doesn't capitalize or punctuate her poems. Then, there's Washburn Cummings, a very interesting sixth-grade boy who doesn't even know she is alive. Even her parents have become difficult. They insist she visit her 92-year-old grandmother who can never remember Anastasia's name. On top of that, they're going to have a baby — at their age! It's enough to make a kid want to do something terrible. Anastasia knows that if she didn't have her secret green notebook to write in, she would never make it to her eleventh birthday.
"As a child, I was always writing lists and keeping journals—much like Anastasia does. Today, I still do these things. I guess I'll always be like Anastasia; I'm still a kid at heart."—Lois LowryLois Lowry has twice won the prestigious… More about Lois Lowry

I am concerned about my period, which as of today is a week late. Although I am not the queen of regular cycles, usually I am never more than two or three days off. My boyfriend and I are sexually active, and although I'm not on any form of birth control, we have been diligent and careful and always used a condom. We are each the others first partner though, and are still very much in a "trying this out" phase. He also hasn't been able to ever get more than an inch or so in, as at that point it gets to be too uncomfortable, so we have never actually had full intercourse. The last time we tried was at the beginning of June; we used a condom, again did not get beyond a slight initial penetration, and he did not ejaculate. We haven't done anything since. I took two pregnancy tests, one two days ago and one today, and both were negative. I know that the tests can be incorrect, but I don't feel like my risk of being pregnant is too high. Still, that leaves me wondering where my period is, and I wanted to post on here to see what another opinion might be. I am also getting my annual exam next week, and I plan to talk to my gynecolgist then too. Thank you for your time with my question!
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a good few years now, every time we have sex it feels like it's just for his pleasure. I really would like to be pleased as well, I mean the sex is nice.. don't get me wrong. But I don't think I've ever experienced an orgasm. I've taken advice from this site before, and I've tried masturbation on my own time, but it ends up taking me hours, and I just get frustrated. I've also discussed it with him, and we've experimented with so many things. The longest we've tried is three and a half hours. That's a little overwhelming and just plain annoying for the both of us. We've tried possibly every "extra" you can think of from biting, roleplaying, being sweet, being angry, to sucking, caressingly, and much more. Any type of contact down there just feels as casual as a massage, and the feeling never changes. What's my deal?
I feel a little weird asking this here because I'm 26 but I was waiting til marriage before sex so this is new to me, and everyone my age seems to have been having sex for years and I'm embarrased to talk about this stuff. This site has been a great resource for me so far - it has saved me so much embarassment of not knowing what's going on (especially embarrasing at my 'old' age!)
So I just got married about a month ago and have started having sex with my husband but it has been disappointingly unenjoyable. My expectations weren't super high because I know it takes awhile to get used to things. But before we were married we did other activities that I really enjoyed and I'd get turned on a lot. Now, however, those same things don't even turn me on anymore. From reading articles here I've realized that sex isn't going to be pleasant if I'm not turned on and it's not about me being 'too tight' or anything. My husband is making a lot of effort to be patient with me and to engage in a lot of foreplay, but it's not doing anything for me. I used to get really aroused by him stroking my nipples/clit areas, and he still is trying that beforehand. But I keep finding that I am not enjoying him touching me at all, and I just want him to stop. He tried oral sex too and I just did not like it, it felt so weird. I feel so horrible because he was so great about waiting til we were married (he has had sex before with his previous girlfriends) and I really want to share this with him now, and he is trying so hard but it's not doing anything. And I'm also really sad that I don't feel turned on because it felt so good and I don't want to have lost that! We are both frustrated, and I feel especially bad because he's had experience and I haven't, and he said he's never had issues like this with any other girls. Any advice as to how I can get more turned on, so that we can actually have sex? We've realized that we shouldn't attempt intercourse when I'm not getting into things, so I also tried pleasuring him in other ways but I'm finding that difficult too... it takes awhile and honestly my mouth/jaw get tired, and I'm worried about how to finish things (the spit/swallow debate). Right now I'm feeling like a terrible wife for not being able to pleasure my husband and also really missing the sexual pleasure I used to get. I don't regret waiting at all... but I'm impatient for things to improve and any advice would be hugely appreciated. Even just letting me know what's a normal amount of time that it takes for this to start being fun instead of stressful. Thanks!
Hi, I was recently treated for some sort of bacterial infection in the vagina with metronidazole pills that I took twice a day for a week. Toward the last couple of days of treatment, my discharge came out in long, oozing strings pretty much every time I sat down to go to the bathroom. It was pretty gross! I figured it had something to do with everything being cleared out, but it still lasted for a day or two after I stopped treatment. Now, I've been off of the antibiotics for nearly a week, and I'm still noticing a little bit more discharge than I would probably want. Is there kind of an adjustment period here? Did the medication not fully treat the problem...or did it cause ANOTHER one?
I have been with my boyfriend for about three months and I am not sure if I'm ready to have sex. How do you really know if you're ready? We have talked about sex before and he wants to do it but I'm just not sure if I want to or not. We have done other things and have also talked about those and if it felt good for us. It was just a little bit awkward talking about it with him at first, then I got more comfortable. He's not pressuring me into doing it, I just want to make sure I'm absolutely ready because I don't want to regret it.
There is another question I would like to ask. If you have been masturbating for quite some time (by rubbing my clit), and I mean a long time, will I only be able to get pleasure from rubbing or will having sex feel good too? I have read somewhere that you can get used to one thing and only be able to feel pleasure from it. My boyfriend has fingered me, it hurt a little at first but then it didn't. It's not that I hated it, but I also didn't get pleasure from it. I'm scared that I won't be able to get pleasure from anything else other than rubbing. Please help.
My girlfriend wants to have anal sex. Is it wrong that I don't want to, or should I do it because she said she will just go and do it herself?
I am a virgin, and I really want to lose it myself before I actually have sex because it is embarassing that I still have my virginity and i'm 18. But everytime that I masterbate or try to "pop my cherry" about like 3 inches into my vagina there is like a "sheet" of skin that is hard to push through, I am not sure if it is something you are supposed to push through, or it's my "cherry", I just don't want to hurt myself breaking something I am not supposed to.
I have been on birth control (ortho-cyclen) for the last 4/5 months. It has worked wonders in helping regulate my period, which is the main and practically sole reason I am on it. Now, my parents do not know I am on it because I chose to go to Planned Parenthood to get it. Now my mother wants me to go to a gyno and be put on birth control because she thinks I still have irregular periods. Works out great for me... I dont have to pay for it anymore, and she will then know I am on birth control. My problem is, is that I can not get an appointment until after I am already out of my birth control... which means I will have to come off of it and possibly be put right back on it 2 weeks later. Is that safe?
I've read your article on vaginal secretion several times but I'm still confused. All of my symptoms of my discharge point to normal except the smell. I have to constantly spray perfume (not down there) on myself because I'm afraid that everyone around me has to deal with this very strong smell, almost like urine. I'm not sure what to do. I try to keep clean in the shower and I'm a virgin so I don't think I have an STD but it's getting to the point where it is really becoming a pain and I'm so self-concious whenever I'm around people. Occasionally it will also feel like my vagina is just dripping wet. I look and there is some discharge but not enough to warrant feeling like I just had an accident. I can be walking around and then all of a sudden it just hits me. It's terrible.
Do I have some sort of infection that I need a prescription for or do I just have really bad vaginal secretions?
My girlfriend is having a rough time emotionally and that is leading to physical pain such as stomach and headaches. She wants to go to a doctor, preferably a gynecologist (in case birth control may regulate her hormones better) but her parents won't like that idea. If she goes will her parents find out through the doctor or insurance report? She's a legal adult so she should be able to take care of this stuff as her right but she still lives with her parents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My boyfriend and I were feeling very heated last night, so he decided to finger me. I was fine with that, obviously, because he asked if I wanted it and I said yes. We've decided we want to have sex but are both worried about the pain. And last night, he wanted to explore, and I told him go ahead. He tried to stick his finger in "the hole" and it hurt, very badly. I'm a pretty tight girl, and he had trouble getting even his pointer finger in. Now, it's the next morning and it's still a little achy. Did I get my "cherry popped"? Is my first time with him going to hurt badly because I'm so tight? I'm nervous, help!
My boyfriend always wants to have sex. But I am never really in the mood to have it but I do anyways so I dont make him mad. When me and him him have sex I don't feel anything, and I never have a orgasm and I don't know why. Is there something wrong with me? Am I wrong for not telling him that I don't get off?
My girlfriend and I have been having sex for over 2 years now, but she is still very "tight", and really has to get into the mood before I can penetrate. It's almost as though we're having sex for the first time, every time. Sounds romantic, but it's a bit annoying for both of us (and she finds it painful if I accidentally push too quickly). With my ex I could slip a finger inside her without any hesitation, of course I would never mention that to my girlfriend. Once we're into it, there's no problem with going harder and faster, it's just that initial thrust. Is this normal? By being so gentle the first time have we possibly never broken her hymen? Otherwise, if we have sex more frequently, rather than maybe once a week/fortnight/month (for now we both still live at home with our parents) will she likely open up a bit more?
I'm a virgin and engaged in foreplay with my boyfriend a few days ago. There was a point during manual sex where some preejaculate may have come in contact with my vulva in spite of the condom. According to the pregnancy assessment, my odds of being pregnant are low depending on various factors such as ovulation, sperm count, etc. But, as I hadn't started my regular birth control regimen yet and it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg, to be on the safe side, I took Plan B. A few days later I had some spotting (brown discharge) and a little abdominal pain, which lasted about three days.
I have just a few questions about Plan B. As I understand it, Plan B can sometimes cause spotting and bleeding in women and can make a woman's cycle irregular due to the high dose of hormones being ingested. I've researched a couple of sites, but can't seem to find the answers to the following questions:
1.) What exactly causes the spotting and/or bleeding? Is it the shedding of the uterine lining or something else? Could it be considered a mini-period?
2.) Have there been cases of women taking Plan B correctly (i.e. within the time frame, one pill first, then the 2nd 12 hours later) after one act of unprotected sex, had spotting and/or bleeding and then discovered that she was pregnant?
3.) Does the spotting/bleeding for that month mean that the woman won't have her period the next month? If she does, does that mean that more uterine lining has attached itself to her uterus after her spotting/bleeding and she's just expelling the rest of it?
I just recently found this site and I am grat3ful that I did. I'm about four to five days late with my period and I'm freaking out. My cycle is normally 28 days, and it's been that way for a year now. I have been stressed out this month because of my finals, graduation, and college stuff, so I know it's a possibility that stress is causing this, but I'm still freaking out. I am sexually active, but my boyfriend and I are always careful. We always use protection, we even check to see if the condom had broken or not. And it wasn't. I keep getting stomach aches, and I haven't been getting any cramps, which are normally a sign to me that I'm about to get my period, or any other symptoms that I normally get. I'm just not sure what's going on and I would really just like some advice on what to do or not to do.
I wanted to share an article I had read with you. I am unable to understand it to the fullest of my ability, some of it confuses me hence I feel if you read it you would be able to make sense of it better. I recently read an article titled " Air-dried sperms fertilize egg ". This article concerns IVF but there is other information I am a little confused about. I am sure other teenagers have read the same article and some of the information is hard for us to understand because its all medical stuff. If you google the title, the article in many different websites will appear. The abc forum has some comments below which better explain the concept I think.. or confuse you further. The article basically states that air dried sperm do not die... and infact the head of the sperm is filled with DNA which can still fertilize an egg. Though from what I have read and understand is that even though the sperm is dried out, it needs to be rehydrated properly and then has to directly be injected into the egg. It says nothing about air dried sperm automatically fertilizing anything on its own. As in I think even though the sperm is not dead, it can't swim. But the head of it can still fertilize. So it's not dead.
I still understand very little of this article, and was hoping if someone from scarleteen read it, would understand it better and then maybe can better explain it to me. Maybe you could post an article of your own on your website about it? Since it has some new information etc. I am not sure whether it is new information... I think it's new information to me rather. But I felt that most information does state, dried sperm is dead sperm. But this article says otherwise.
I am also posting a link :
There are other articles, but this one has a forum which talks about it. The comments might help. Please do read it and tell me what you think.
I have a rather embarassing question but I really need help. When having anal sex with my boyfriend, after he inserts it and all it comes to a point where it is almost like it will NOT go any further. It's like his penis is hitting a wall of some sort and it really hurts. I am very relaxed before we start so the initial penetration is not a problem at all, it's just that there is something stopping his penis from going all the way in. what is causing this and what can I do about this?
I shook hands with a male chef whose hands were completely dry. After that I went to pee in the hotel bathroom. I had touched the knob, the door and pulled my jeans down with the same hand. What bothers me is I had used the same hand to touch my sanitary pad to centre it and then pulled my pants back on. Due to men masturbating and peeing etc.. sometimes if they don't wash their hands or just wipe them off and its dried later does sperm live on their hands? And then when they shake my hand can that sperm be transferred to my hand and after touching my sanitary pads which are close to my vagina, can the sperm enter me? Can any of this crap get me pregnant? First of his hands were completely dry and so were mine. And I am sure chefs wash their hands.. but what if they don't… he wasn't cooking at that time. Its possible he had completely sperm free clean hands and I am just going insane!
I only shook his hand... is any of this possible?
I was supposed to get my period about 2 weeks ago and although my periods are never exact and to the day, they usually aren't that late. But about 4 days ago I started getting brown spotting, like old blood, which sometimes signals the begginning of my cycle, so I was quite relieved. But I've been getting this exact same brown spotting for the past 4 days and it's really confusing and worrying me. The only sign of any actual flow I've had is right after I went for a run yesterday and there was just a tiny tiny bit of actual red color. I took a thorough biology course and I know a lot about the menstrual cycle and pregnancy and all the hormones involved and that knowledge is making me paranoid I think (and I'm already a worry wart by nature). I just can't figure out, hormone-wise, why I wouldn't be shedding my endometrium, unless my progesterone levels haven't in fact dropped - indicating pregnancy. I am still a proud virgin at 18, but about 2 and a half weeks ago my boyfriend and I fooled around. He didn't ejaculate anywhere near me. The only thing I'm worried about is that maybe his semen (or pre-cum) got on one of our hands and it came into contact with me, and I know that even then, the chances of the 100 odd sperm actually making it all the way to my fallopian tubes is slim to none, (especially since he didn't finger me, and that I most likely had already finished ovulating by then considering I was supposed to get my period any day, at the time). It's just worrying me because my periods have never done anything odd like this, and on top of that, that was the first time I've fooled around before. Coincidence?? I'm just wondering if you have any alternate conclusions, which I hope are more plausible than mine, for this prolongued brown spotting. It'd be nice to have my mind at ease :)
And I just wanted to add that even though I'm not a regular to this site, I have been using it for the past 4 years when I have any questions and you're always so quick to reply and non-judgemental. I appreciate it and it's great to know that everytime I need questions answered I have somewhere to go!
When my penis gets hard it bends to the left so like my head points left instead of straight: is this normal? If it is not can I fix it? If I can fix it how?
Is it bad for a guy to have an erection for an hour or two? What does an erection feel like for them?
I live in Africa. Here, both my religion and culture restrict that a girl should be a virgin unless she gets married. I masturbate and sometimes a lil blood droplet is there in my pants after I masturbate although I don't finger myself. I tried to finger after I saw that blood drop to check if my hymen is still intact, so I pressed my fingers into my vagina and it was there (a sorta layer) and it hurt me so I pulled my fingers out. The thing is, is my hymen still there or not? Should I stop masturbating if I want to keep my virginity or it doesn't matter ?
I am a 21 year old guy and I am a virgin. So is my girlfriend. We wanted to wait until we were 21.
We were planing on having sex for the first time last week. The night we tried it, I was very aroused and hard right up until it was time for me to enter her. As soon as I was ready to go in, I lost my erection. Realizing that we couldn't complete the act, we gave each other manual orgasms. (As soon as that started, I got very erect again). Every time we try to have sex I have the same problem. I am hard right before, I can get hard right after, but not when it counts. What can I do to avoid this? Should I drink a little alcohol before to loosen up? Take pills? Any advice will be helpful.

Follow @KristinAtPAN
Each year we mark national Autism Awareness Month with an update on how many children officials say are now on the autism spectrum. We highlight the latest science linking prenatal pesticide exposure to increased risk. And we make an urgent pitch to shift from awareness to prevention.
Well, once again the numbers are up. CDC reports that 1 in 68 children are now on the autism spectrum, up from 1 in 88 in 2008 and 1 in 150 "way back" in 2002. And once again, new science links certain chemical exposures to derailed fetal brain development — with an ever clearer understanding of how the damage is done. The good news? When it comes to talking prevention, there's been real progress.
Scientists issued yet another wake up call last week, adding more chemicals to the list of those known to harm our children's brains. These neurotoxicants — including the common pesticide chlorpyrifos — are linked to falling IQs, increased risk of ADHD and other developmental disorders.
Now here's the really extraordinary part of the story: the researchers conclude that it's time to "accelerate the translation of science into prevention." In other words, we need to do something about this problem. Now.
Scan the ingredient list of many "antibacterial" soaps and body washes, and you'll find triclosan. This pesticide — yes, I said pesticide — is so widely used that it's now found in most of our bodies. And after decades of thinking about it, FDA is finally saying "enough."
It turns out some significant risks are linked to triclosan, including altering how hormones work in our bodies, undermining our immune systems and making bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Oh, and according to FDA experts, it doesn't seem to get hands or bodies any cleaner than good old soap and water.
Today, our PAN partners in Asia are releasing an in-depth, global study on children and pesticides. As a mom, I'm both deeply thankful for this report and profoundly frustrated that it needs to be written at all.
Dr. Meriel Watts reviewed hundreds of scientific studies from around the world, and found that children across the globe face serious — and growing — health harms from exposure to pesticides. Her report then outlines clear, doable steps to making real change.
In the spring of 2012, we profiled a courageous mother from Argentina who took on Monsanto to protect her children and her community from pesticide harms. Sofia Gatica received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for her inspiring organizing efforts.
Now the story continues. The Associated Press recently published an in-depth story on the spiraling use of pesticides in Argentina, and the resulting health harms. With careful and compelling reporting, the piece highlights how GE crops dramatically drive up pesticide use, and puts a human face — including Sofia's family and many others — on the reality of pesticide-dependent agriculture. Please read this hugely important story.

Outage at San Onofre may cost hundreds of millions
Equipment repair, electricity purchases are just some of the expenses
One such contract is with AES Corp., which has restarted two retired units at its Huntington Beach plant to make up for the San Onofre shortfall. The cost to secure that additional 440 megawatt output is about $2.5 million per month through October, according to Stephanie McCorkle, spokeswoman for the state's main electrical-grid manager, the California Independent System Operator.
Conservation measures: Cost unknown
To make sure there are no energy shortages during peak demand months, the utilities and the state plan to urge Southern California residents and businesses to conserve as much electricity as possible.
State regulators recently approved a new way to reward Edison and SDG&E customers for cutting power consumption during key periods. The conservation programs will be paid for with already-collected customer money, plus newly authorized funding.
Regulators also approved using $9 million in customer funds for public service advertisements that encourage energy conservation during peak periods. The money is intended for statewide use, but if San Onofre remains offline, it's likely that much of it will be spent for Southern California campaigns.
Stepped-up inspections from federal regulators: Cost unknown
When things go wrong at a nuclear plant, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission sends extra inspectors to review the issue and supervise the plant operator's actions. But their work comes at a cost.
San Onofre will be billed $273 per hour for each extra inspector called upon. The nuclear commission already sent an "augmented inspection team" to San Onofre to review the steam generator problems — a team that grew at one point in March to seven people.

David S. Allee (born 1969) is an American photographer.
Allee received an undergraduate degree in economics and government from Cornell University in 1991, and his MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts (2001), where he studied with Joel Sternfeld and Robert Polidori. Allee came to photography after a career in the field of urban and environmental planning.
Allee's 1997 photographic series, "A Man a Mile," documents the New York City "Sandhog." Sandhogs are builder/miners responsible for the Panama Canal, and much of New York City's infrastructure. Their excavation projects are some of the largest ever undertaken; they include the city's water tunnels (which take over fifty years to complete), much of the New York City Subway System, and the caissons (underwater foundations) for the city's bridges. The society of Sandhogs is largely made up of a patrilineal line—and only a few hundred families. The job is statistically the most dangerous father-to-son profession in the United States. Approximately one sandhog dies for every mile of tunnel they deliver. A selection of Allee's "A Man a Mile" was published in the October 1997 issue of Esquire. Accompanying text was provided by former Sandhog and novelist, Thomas Kelly.
More recent shows have furthered an investigation of public space as it barriers the individual: "Turnpike Condos" (06) iterates the meeting of freeways and housing developments; "Cross Lands" (06) addresses a contemporary landscape of garages, housing, parks, commercial properties—all adjacent and at cross purposes. Allee's work, likewise, traverses divisions of fine arts, political activism, photojournalism and contemporary cartography. In a moment of the dying landscape, Allee dissects and catalogues the winsome flower of decay. In 2005, Allee worked with New York City's Center for Architecture in documenting the Percent for Art program.

The Limits of Indiscriminate Violence
The Limits of Indiscriminate Violence
The beheading in Afghanistan of Indian engineer Kasula Suryanarayana by the Taliban marks a new low in the already precarious situation of that country. It is a pointer to the success that the Taliban have had in regrouping in several of Afghanistan's provinces, especially in Kandahar, Zabul, Kunar, Uruzgan, Paktika, Paktia and Helmand-not to speak of the tribal agency areas in Pakistan bordering Afghanistan.
The incident also raises uncomfortable questions about collusion between the various forces comprising what President Hamid Karzai describes as the "Enemies of Afghanistan". It is noteworthy that Suryanarayana was killed despite Karzai's recent invitation to the Taliban to further the process of political reconciliation by joining and cooperating with his government. Suryanarayana's killing is a sign of greater recalcitrance and self-confidence on the part of the Taliban.
This is not the first time that a non-combatant Indian civilian has been wantonly killed by the Taliban. Nor will it be the last. Some 2,000 Indians work in Afghanistan in various capacities in road-building and other infrastructure projects. They are all vulnerable to mindless acts of abduction and killing. Unlike many Indians working in Iraq, most Indians in Afghanistan are not adequately covered by insurance. Nor are they protected by security agencies. They are easy or "soft" targets.
Even more distressing is the massacre last Sunday of 34 Hindus in the hill districts of Doda and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir-an act of exceptional barbarity. This once again shows that no religious community in that troubled part of India can hope to escape the armed depredations of fanatical militants.
Kashmiri Muslims have borne the brunt of such attacks since 1989-carried out, ironically, by those who profess faith in Islam and Islamicism. Sikhs and Hindus have not been spared either, although they account for less than a fifth of all such indiscriminate murders. The latest killings, like the recent terrorist attacks on Hindu temples in Jammu, are meant to create communal divides where none existed. This makes them especially pernicious.
It cannot be an accident that the targeted killings of Hindus in the Jammu region took place three days before a meeting last Wednesday (May 3) between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and leaders of the All Parties Huriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Omer Farooq, which was itself meant to be a prelude to a second Round-Table Conference on Kashmir to be held later this month.
Evidently, the killers want to sabotage the peace process-in particular, the possibility of a serious dialogue on Kashmir. They have grown especially desperate after the recent successful round of by-elections in Kashmir, with a high turnout.
In India, there is speculation that the perpetrators of the Jammu massacre belong to groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, many of whose members are hostile to President Musharraf and, in general, the India-Pakistan dialogue process itself. As for the Suryanarayana case, however, many intelligence experts believe that the Taliban probably acted in league with hardline elements in Pakistani covert agencies who oppose any Indian role in Afghanistan.
It is hard to verify this assessment in a conclusive manner. South Asia's intelligence experts are not quite independent of their respective governments, and they are often wrong. But it nevertheless stands to reason that hardliners in secret agencies would collude with all forces which seek to scare Indian civilians away from Afghanistan. They don't regard India's historic ties with Afghanistan as real or legitimate.
Many hardliners probably believe-like many in Pakistan's civilian establishment do too-that India is messing around or making trouble in a country that lies in the Pakistani "sphere of influence" and gives it the "strategic depth" it otherwise lacks.
(This is so despite the view of independent Afghanistan experts such as Barnett Rubin that India's assistance package for Afghanistan is fairly substantial, and better targeted and far less donor-driven than a good deal of international aid. "Strategic depth" is also a dubious doctrine, as this Column has argued more than once. But let that pass.)
The foregoing raises two important questions about the India-Pakistan peace process. Can it endure and yield solid results if Pakistan's agencies directly or indirectly target Indian civilians and generally adopt a hostile stance towards Indians in a "third country" like Afghanistan (and vice versa)? And how compatible is a hardline approach pertaining to the Afghan context, with a "soft" approach to finding a negotiated solution to the Kashmir problem?
The first answer should be obvious. Not only is it egregiously wrong, illegitimate and unacceptable for any government agency to target innocent civilians and violate the fundamental principle of non-combatant immunity. It's ludicrous to act in bad faith towards your dialogue partner and still expect good results from bilateral talks. On a mature view, Afghanistan, like Iran, offers an arena for India-Pakistan cooperation, not adversity. The rich opportunities it presents have not been tapped.
The second issue is even more important. According to several indicators, the Hurriyat leaders have prepared a brief with at least three proposals for Manmohan Singh, which apparently enjoy Islamabad's endorsement or approval. They include the "Andorra model" of a "United States of Kashmir", suzerainty and self-rule for the Kashmiris without altering the sovereignty of either country, and demilitarisation on either side of the Line of Control.
Besides, there are "internal" issues like release of political prisoners, repeal of repressive laws, and human rights violations. These came up for discussion with Singh last Wednesday and will be pursued in future talks in a "structured format".
Such discussions will indisputably take the dialogue forward. The Jammu killings are calculated to derail it. And further attacks on Indians in Afghanistan are likely to vitiate the climate for a dialogue.
That's why it is not enough that Pakistani and Indian governments, and citizens' groups, unequivocally condemn the recent violence. They must go further and resolve that fanatics like LeT cannot be allowed to sabotage the peace process and hold either or both governments to ransom.
Pakistan, in particular, must reconcile its Afghanistan and Indian policies and abide scrupulously by its commitment not to support any militant separatist and terrorist groups. India must resist the growing pressure being mounted on Manmohan Singh to postpone his impending visit to Pakistan. India should take measures in good faith to improve the state of human rights in Kashmir.
Pakistan has a great deal at stake here, perhaps more than does India. It has paid a heavy price for supporting various insurgencies and militant extremisms in the past. A just-published study by "Foreign Policy"-Fund for Peace (US) says that Pakistan is slipping precipitately into the status of a "failed state". It's now included in the list of 10 most prominent "failed states", along with Sudan, Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, etc.
Over the past year, Pakistan's (negative) rank has dropped from 34 to 9. The accuracy of this assessment is open to question. It is admittedly based on criteria which can be criticised, refined and further developed. But it indisputably contains more than a grain of truth given the situation in Baluchistan and along the Durand Line.
Pakistan has every reason to be concerned at this, and must correct course, not least by defusing its tensions with India.

How I do not like thee! Back to work today after such a nice weekend relaxing. I rarely get to relax, so it was nice to be able to for once. Breakfast today was two of my pumpkin oatmeal breakfast squares with a banana. Oh, Sabrina…of course some kind of pumpkin and a banana for breakfast again!
I did a Bikini Body workout, which was nice since I've been a bit behind due to my being sick for the past couple of weeks. Time to get back on the exercise wagon for me! For lunch, I had one of the pizza's that I made over the weekend before heading to work. And who says there is no healthy pizza? Well I suppose minus the pepperoni, plus more veggies would make it healthier!
I packed a quick snack for work which was a yogurt and a s'mores Cliff Kid's bar. My absolute favorite. It actually doesn't really taste like s'mores but it taste so good that who cares if it doesn't.
I had my dinner at work today. I have dinner at work Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday since I get out at 8:00pm and by the time I get home sometimes it could be between 8:30 and 9:30pm. Way too late to be eating. I had a quinoa bowl mixed with ground meat, black beans and sugar snap peas.
I did have some left over so maybe I'll use it for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I just probably will add some more peas and rice. Maybe even some tostones! When I got home from work, I wanted a little treat. I had a little bit of the pumpkin gelato that Allan bought me plus a pumpkin oatmeal breakfast square on the bottom. All topped with some cinnamon toasted coconut and almonds.
Kinda tasted like a healthy and delicious faux pumpkin pie type thing! One tasty way to end the night.

Smith Lecture: New Insights Into Trophic Ecology of Marine Animals from Compound Specific Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Amino Acids
Ecosystem based management requires an understanding of the inter-connectedness of organisms within an ecosystem. Arguably, the most important of these connections are trophic interactions, or the trophic position that an organism occupies within a given food web. The nitrogen isotopic composition of a consumer's tissue has been used to investigate trophic linkages within marine food webs. However, there are a number of assumptions that must be met in order to satisfactorily interpret bulk tissue d15N values in terms of trophic position, including knowing the isotopic composition of plants at the base of the food web and the expected enrichment in 15N at each trophic step. Compound specific nitrogen isotope analysis of amino acids can alleviate some of the challenges associated with the interpretation of bulk tissue d15N values. In samples of consumer tissues some amino acids, such as phenylalanine, appear to retain the isotopic composition of nitrogen sources at the base of the food web, whereas other amino acids, such as glutamic acid, are significantly enriched in 15N with each trophic transfer. As such, the isotopic composition of the base of the food web and trophic information can be obtained from the tissue of only a consumer without need for analyzing prey items or basal food web resources. The application and pitfalls of this technique to marine organisms including zooplankton, reef and pelagic fishes, sea turtles and rays will be discussed. I will also emphasize the role that compound specific isotope analysis of amino acids can play in verifying or providing critical information for ecosystem models, which are often used to help understand and predict changes in ecosystems due to environmental variability and fisheries.

Hazrat Khawaja Qutabuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki
Dargah Sharif of Hazrat Qutab Sahib
The Dargah of Great Sufi Saint Hazrat Khawaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki is a very famous Sufi Shrine of Delhi situated at Mehrauli near Qutab Minar in New Delhi.The Saint was a Mureed and Khalifa (Disciple) and first spiritual successor of Great Sufi Saint of India Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti who is better known by his title "Gharib Nawaz" of Ajmer Sharif who belonged to the 'Chishtia Order'. Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki was born in 569 Hijri in a town called 'Aush' .Hazrat Khawaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki was appointed Khalifa-e-Azam by his Piro Murshid Hazrat Khawaja Gharib Nawaz of Ajmer and he was instructed to stay in Delhi during the reign of Sultan Qutubuddin Aibak and Sultan Shamsuddin Al-Tamish in order to carry on the mission of the 'Chishtia Order' in India. He was very fond of Sama –Qawwali and used to hold Mehfile Qawwali (Sama) at his Khanqah. He was died in 634 Hijri in a state of 'Wajd' (Ecstasy) during the Sama-Mehfile Qawwali at
"Kushtagaan-e- khanjar-e- tasleem raa,
Har zamaan azz gheb jaan-e-deegar ast."
Translation: For the victims of the sword of divine love, there is new life every moment from the unseen.
Dargah of Hazrat Khawaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki
Due to his extraordinary death (wisal) Hazrat Khawaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki is also known as 'Shaheed-e-Mohabbat' (martyr of God's love).He had devoted his whole life in the worship (Ibadat) of Almighty Allah. In accordance to the Sufi tradition he had also appointed Hazrat Khawaja Fariduddin Ganje Shakar as his spiritual successor and Khalifa whose shrine is now situated in Pakpattan in
Hazrat Khawaja Naseeruddin Chirage Dehli
Chirage Dehli
Why Hazrat Khawaja Naseeruddin is called "Chirage Dehli"?
A great Karamat (Miracle) is attributed with Hazrat Naseeruddin and the ancient 'Baoli'( stepwell) of Hazrat Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia.The Baoli is about 700 years old and is still full of water. It is said that when the Baoli of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia was being constructed under the supervision of his mureed and Khalifa(disciple) Hazrat Naseeruddin, then at the same time the construction work was going on at the Fort of Sultan Ghayasuddin Tughlaq at Tughlaq Abad in Delhi.The labourers working at the fort used to sleep at day time because they had to work at night time at the Baoli of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia. The Sultan was very angry and enquired about this from his Wazeer (Minister) who told him that our labourers used to work at night at the Baoli of Sufi Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia as they had great respect for the saint. Consequently the labourers fall asleep during the day time at our Fort.The Sultan was very jealous and ordered the Shop keepers to stop the supply of oil to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia so that his Baoli could not be constructed in night without any Chirag (Lamp). Under such circumstances when there was no oil, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia called his Mureed and Khalifa Hazrat Khawaja Naseeruddin and told him to take water of the Baoli and use the same in Chirag (Lamps) instead of oil. Hazrat Naseeruddin obeyed the command of his Piro Murshid( spiritual master) and put the water of the Baoli in all the Chirags (Lamps) with some dry leaves of grass and ignited the same. It was a great Karamat of the saint that the water of the Baoli was burnt just like oil in the lamps and the work of Baoli was completed and from that time Hazrat Khawaja Naseeruddin was called as Chirage Dehli.The locality where his Shrine (Dargah) is situated is also named after him and is known as Chirage Dehli.

Office of the President
Dr. Patrick T. Harker is the 26th president of the University of Delaware. He also serves as professor of business administration in the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics and professor of civil and environmental engineering in the College of Engineering.
Siemens International Key Experts Conference
Clayton Hall
January 25, 2011
I'm deeply honored that the University of Delaware is serving as your very first U.S. host for this International Key Experts Conference. I know many of you—certainly those of you who are local to the region—have close connections to Delaware's dynamic biotechnology community, and I have that community to thank for your presence here today and tomorrow.
I commend Siemens Healthcare for sustaining a business model so resolutely focused on innovation and collaboration. It's clearly fueled your worldwide leadership. I read your literature: 760 million euros spent on healthcare R&D annually. An 11-percent revenue-reinvestment rate. Sixty-five percent of R&D dollars going to new product development and breakthrough technologies. And, of course, the active cultivation of this international community of experts who power that research & development and make the investment pay off handsomely.
As the president of a University similarly focused on innovation leadership, it's exciting to see this model in action.
Given that I'm in this enviable position—with so many of the world's leaders in bioscience, biotechnology, and bioengineering gathered together right here in Delaware—I thought I'd spend my allotted time telling you why you should come back.
You should come back for a few reasons.
- Delaware is a small state—not even a million people, and the second-smallest landmass nationwide. This gives us considerable advantages I'll get to in a minute.
- It's an exceptionally well-connected state—due in part to its smallness, but also to a cadre of public- and private-sector leaders who understand the power that's gained through tight alignment.
- And it's a state incubating unprecedented interest and investment in collaborative biomedical research and its translation to clinical care.
Disease Prevention/Health Promotion
Maybe most important of all, I think it's a state that shares your ideas on optimal healthcare outcomes. Your leadership in bio-imaging, assay diagnostics, and medical IT represents to me the harnessing of technology for better, more proactive patient care—and I do emphasize the word "care."
To most people, medical technology is a behemoth—an expensive, invasive thing. But if we can develop and perfect technology that's used to make healthcare less invasive and less expensive—we all win. If we can aggressively deploy technology for true quality-of-life purposes—disease prevention and health promotion—we're serving our people and our science equally well.
It's a fundamentally optimistic approach to healthcare. And Delaware embraces the same approach.
At the University of Delaware, we've done—and are doing—a lot of breakthrough work in biomarkers. But we see the validity in shifting our lens a little, in looking more closely and consistently at individuals' "bio-signature"—what the biomarkers are, how they change over time, what we can predict, and how we can prevent.
It's a subtle shift—from protein to patient—but it's an important one. Not just because prevention-focused, person-centric care yields better health outcomes, but because—yes—it saves money.
This is a country in a battle over healthcare delivery—what we're entitled to and who foots the bill for it. But it's not just a fight taken up in Congress. It's fought every day in hospitals and clinics, emergency rooms, doctor's offices, insurance agencies. And I'd argue it's a battle that goes well beyond economics; it conscripts our beliefs and our ideologies.
If the hard decisions we need to make about healthcare delivery, coverage, and subsidies inform our consideration of how well we live versus a hard line on how long—if they reopen a critical conversation on health promotion and disease prevention as cost-effective alternatives to lengthy treatment—then it will have been worth the rhetoric expended.
There's no one in Delaware who understands this issue better than the man you just heard from, Governor Jack Markell. His new Council on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention will address wellness among Delaware's population and work to cut the $844 million spent each year in this state to treat chronic disease and preventable health problems.
Connection: The Delaware Way
And the Council has an excellent shot at success. Because as Governor Markell says, "Delaware does cooperation well."
This goes back to the smallness and interconnectedness I mentioned earlier. Delaware is the ideal place to pilot statewide initiatives and promote the engagement of community populations in research. We have two dominant health systems—Christiana Care Health System and Nemours; we have a single state Division of Public Health; we have a statewide health information exchange; we have a broad community here—public and private sector—absolutely committed to improving poor health outcomes.
The Living Laboratory
And, unfortunately, we have a population here in Delaware that needs that help. While Delaware's demographics are generally representative of the United States', our citizens are older than the U.S. average, and we're aging faster—1½ times the national rate.
We have a largely rural population, which makes the application of technology to delivery important, especially as distances grow—the distance between patient and point of care; between where scans are run and where they're read; between treatment decisions and the treatment itself. We need to enhance healthcare quality at all these furthest points.
Delaware's adult obesity rate doubled between 1990 and 2007, and 40 percent of our children are overweight. Nemours is now targeting childhood obesity with a great prevention campaign.
Our cancer-incidence rate is nearly 10 percent higher than the U.S. average. And yet our cancer mortality? Down 19 percent in five years.
The Delaware Cancer Consortium took top national honors for cancer control through a comprehensive program of screening, prevention, and treatment programs. The Consortium could show its impact—the state's steep rise in screenings—colonoscopies, mammograms, pap and HPV tests. It could document the clients served in treatment. It could catalogue those who'd completed smoking-cessation programs. It could disaggregate the input and outcome data any way one needed.
And this is where we shine. We can take an initiative, an application—and roll it out statewide. We can show real numbers and real impact. Most states and districts would be hard-pressed to show demonstrable change on a scale to rival ours.
We're ready for broad and meaningful community collaboration in research. In this living laboratory, we can shorten the time and distance from discovery to delivery. We can go from bench to bedside—and back again, continually refining research, practice, and technology.
A Hub for Collaborative Research
But our aptitude as a site for breakthrough translational research and informed clinical care goes well beyond population need and demographics—beyond our compactness and capacity for large-scale implementation.
The fact is we have here in Delaware the scientific expertise and innovative inclination to blaze a trail. We have the interdisciplinary institutes that are influencing the national conversation in translational medicine.
We have an unselfish predisposition toward collaboration. Maybe it's because we don't have a medical school in-state. Maybe we've created something to compensate for that lack—or perceived lack, since Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia serves perfectly well as Delaware's medical school. And what we've created is something much more important than a bricks-and-mortar med school: We've created a culture of interaction among disciplines and institutions.
Delaware Health Sciences Alliance
That culture has yielded an architecture for partnership. Nearly two years ago, the University of Delaware joined with Thomas Jefferson University, and with the state's leading healthcare providers—Christiana Care and Nemours—to form the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance.
The Alliance pools our assets and expertise so that we can jointly pursue key priorities: improving health sciences education in Delaware, and enlarging our pipeline of healthcare personnel; building a strong biomedical research platform; and improving healthcare delivery throughout the state and the region.
The Alliance builds on years of collaboration among the partners, but this formal framework makes us more competitive in the national arena, and boosts our efforts to really grow Delaware's health and medical services industries. Plus, it gives potential collaborators a single point of entry into a network that will yield maximum benefit.
The Alliance has already launched or absorbed several centers: the Delaware Center for Cancer Biology, the Delaware Cardiovascular Research Center, the Delaware Valley Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, the Center for Translational Cancer Research. Next month, we'll inaugurate the Delaware Rehabilitation Institute.
What we're building is a true BIO community—and what we'll build next is its home base.
Science & Tech Campus
The University of Delaware is redeveloping 272 acres adjacent to our South Campus—property that used to belong to the Chrysler Auto Assembly Plant. Where the car plant used to stand, a dense Science and Technology Campus will rise, housing University- and partnership-based research, along with private mixed-use space.
The University of Delaware's College of Health Sciences and several arms of the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance will be key tenants. Thomas Jefferson University will put a health education campus on the site, and 3rd- and 4th-year students—medical, pharmacy, nursing, occupational and physical therapy, population health—they'll do their clinical rotations right here in Delaware.
But the campus won't be an academic exercise alone; it will be our interface with Delaware's booming bioscience and biotech community—from small startups and spinoffs to established companies. Because we understand the extraordinary benefit that's gained by locating this much creative capital in one place, by concentrating intellectual assets and creating opportunities for collaboration and cross-pollination.
We understand the problem-solving potential of individuals working in close proximity to one another. And, like Siemens, we understand what a legitimate, long-term investment in people and innovation can yield.
This land is big—it grows our campus footprint by 22 percent. But the opportunities it gives us are even bigger: to stimulate discovery, invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship; to expand strategic partnerships and foster collaboration; and to power an economy that will become increasingly reliant on bio-sector resilience and growth.
The University of Delaware and Siemens do have inlets for collaboration—in research, in clinical roll-outs, in technology applications. We're training your workforce—med-tech students, graduate students in biotechnology and bioinformatics.
I hope we can explore what working together here in Delaware might mean. Because global power deployed locally is powerful indeed.
I wish you productive conference and a pleasant stay in Delaware.
Thank you.

When Donatella Versace announced Eun Jeong and her collection 'Go by a Secret Path' as the winner of Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden 2008, Eun Jeong Hong's (known as EJ) first reaction was to look through the audience for her parents faces who had flown from Korea for the show.
After being presented with the 2008 trophy, designed by Russian jewellery designer Elena Kozhevnikova.
EJ was overcome with emotion and disbelief "I am lost for words – I feel very lucky to have been given this opportunity by Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden. The last few months have been incredible and the support we have received from the Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden team and mentors has been invaluable" she said.
'I thought the collection 'Go by a Secret Path' was the far most outstanding; it had tailoring and the soft frivolous fantasy feel as well; the collection hung together as a story', Hilary Alexander, The Telegraph.
