"My Bondage and My Freedom," writes John Stauffer in his Foreword, "[is] a deep meditation on the meaning of slavery, race, and freedom, and on the power of faith and literacy, as well as a portrait of an individual and a nation a few years before the Civil War." As his narrative unfolds, Frederick Douglass—abolitionist, journalist, orator, and one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the American civil rights movement—transforms himself from slave to fugitive to reformer, leaving behind a legacy of social, intellectual, and political thought. Set from the text of the 1855 first edition, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes Douglass's original Appendix, composed of excerpts from the author's speeches as well as a letter he wrote to his former master.
"My Bondage and My Freedom, besides giving a fresh impulse to antislavery literature, [shows] upon its pages the untiring industry of the ripe scholar."—William Wells Brown
Frederick Douglass, an outspoken abolitionist, was born into slavery in 1818 and, after his escape in 1838, repeatedly risked his own freedom as an antislavery lecturer, writer, and publisher.

Medication Safety is a Team Effort
Washington Hospital Takes Extensive Measures to Ensure Patient Safety
Do you take any medications?
Most likely, your doctor has asked you that question at some point. If you are taking any regular prescription medicines, you've probably answered "yes." But what about medications you use only "as needed," such as a prescription for seasonal allergies? Or common over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin or heartburn medication? Or vitamins, herbs or other nutritional supplements?
Medications are usually beneficial, but occasionally they can produce an undesirable effect, called an "adverse drug event" (ADE). ADEs are sometimes due to potential side effects of medications that generally are not preventable. However, in many cases, ADEs can be prevented, especially those that result from not taking medications properly or by combining medications that should not be used together.
According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, approximately 1.5 million Americans are sickened, injured or killed each year by preventable medication errors – and the key word is preventable.
"A substantial number of medication errors happen because patients' current medications are not identified when they are admitted to an emergency room or a hospital," says Washington Hospital Medication Safely Officer Nasim Karmali. "That's why one of the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals is 'medication reconciliation,' which means making sure doctors and other health care providers know what medications patients are already taking." (The Joint Commission is responsible for hospital accreditation.)
Washington Hospital follows a stringent medication reconciliation process to find out what medications patients are taking at home when they are admitted to the hospital or ER.
Keep a List
"When patients are admitted, nurses and pharmacy technicians interview them about their current medications," Karmali explains. "They also try to speak with the patient's family, since a lot of times people don't remember what drugs they're taking – especially over-the-counter medications and supplements. If needed, the pharmacy techs will follow up with the patients' regular doctors and pharmacies for current medication information."
Karmali recommends that people keep a current list of medications with them at all times in their purse or wallet. "Write down the names of all the drugs you take, the dosages and how often you take them," she says. "If you're admitted to the hospital or ER, tell the health care providers when you took the last dose of each medication."
At Washington Hospital, medication reconciliation is an interdisciplinary process involving the pharmacy, nursing and medical staffs to compare patients' most current list of medications with new physician orders. This process is especially important if the patient is on medications for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
"We need to be sure that patients will continue to receive their regular important medications while in the hospital," she notes. "Also, any time a physician prescribes a new medication, a nurse will explain to the patient what the medication is for, how to take it and what potential side effects might be expected. As part of our 'Please Ask' campaign at Washington Hospital to promote patient safety, we encourage patients – and their friends and relatives to ask any questions they have about their medications."
The hospital has pharmacists stationed in patient-care areas of the hospital to monitor medication therapy and confer with the patients' physicians to provide safe and effective dosing. Nurses can consult these pharmacists, asking questions about the patient's medications.
"Not all hospitals have pharmacists in patient-care areas," Karmali says. "We also have a pharmacist in the ER. Having a pharmacist as a resource in the fast-paced environment of the ER enables us to respond much faster to emergency medical situations."
Focusing on Medication Safety
In her role as Medication Safety Officer, Karmali works closely with physicians, nurses and pharmacists to reduce the risks of medication errors, evaluating where errors might occur and taking steps to avoid them.
"There are several areas that warrant close scrutiny," Karmali explains. "A physician who is prescribing drugs must be aware of whether or not a patient has any allergies to certain medications as well as what medications the patient has been taking at home. When it comes to dispensing medications, the pharmacist must review all the prescribed medications to prevent interactions, access the status of the patient's kidney and liver function, and evaluate the patient's ability to swallow pills.
"When administering medications, the nurses must observe what we call the 'five rights' – giving the right medication to the right patient at the right time in the right dosage by the right route (orally, by injection or IV)," she adds. "It's also important to monitor patients closely to make sure medications are having the desired effects and not having any undesired effects."
When patients are discharged from Washington Hospital, they are given a printed list of all the medications they should be taking, including the dosages and frequency.
"It's important to keep your list of medications updated and take it with you to any doctor appointments," Karmali emphasizes. "And you should always ask questions about any new prescription, including the name of the drug, the correct dosage, what the drug is used for, potential side effects or drug interactions, and any special instructions for taking or storing the medication.
"Patients need to take an active role in their own care by asking questions," she adds. "Patients who are unable to ask their own questions or understand the answers need an advocate – a family member or friend – who can do that for them."
"Please Ask" About Your Care
Washington Hospital's "Please Ask" Campaign educates patients to ask questions of the staff if they do not understand something about their care including their medications. To learn more about Washington Hospital's patient safety initiatives, visit www.whhs.com/quality.

Producer's Perspective:
I told the cast that if they didn't have fun doing this play, then there was something very wrong. As an actor, when you're handed a chopped-up copy of perhaps the greatest comedy of the 17th Century (A Midsummer Night's Dream having been written in the 16th), and then you're asked to throw in lyrics from the 1960's, you might doubt the sanity of the project. Certainly, at our first read-through, there seemed to be some doubt in the air. That doubt returned when actors were asked to break out of character and master passionate dance moves. And yet…
It was so much fun! For everyone. It might have taken a while for some, but every single actor in this production had an extraordinary amount of fun onstage. The audiences for the most part, loved the show – although I heard from every single Shakespeare purist who didn't. And I sat watching with a huge grin on my face at every single performance.
Bob was in his element as Toby Belch. Jack Powell was born to play Malvolio. Camilla Ford, our Baja Shakespeare star, won over the Bay Area actors and audiences – who might have had some doubt about a 40 something woman playing a young man in love with a female lead – and charmed everyone with her goofball sense of humor, sweetness, and funky dance moves. It was awesomely fabulous to have Lucas McClure back onstage playing guitar in his sexy Dylan outfit and delighting us with Feste's wit. And speaking of sexy…could anything be hotter than Cat Thompson dancing in '60's go-go boots and Carnaby Street inspired high hippie regalia? I don't think so.
All of the designers outdid themselves. The costumes by Abra Berman were extraordinary. The psychedelic lighting was some of the most fun ever. The sets and props with their Laugh-in inspired colors and patterns were a delight.
And of course, there was the true life romance. Every performance Bill Elsman as Orsino proposed to Alex Matthews as Viola – which made all of us remember his offstage proposal to her, and look forward to their very real wedding, which took place the weekend after the season closed. It was always fun to see Alex backstage arguing with her mom on the phone about flower arrangements and cakes, or planning out seating charts and events for out-of-town family and guests. I guess I'm just a romantic, but there was certainly romance in the air all throughout our summer of love. Peace and love!

tract infections in teens and adults. For information about infections in
babies and young children, see the topic
Urinary Tract Infections in Children.
urinary tract is the system that makes urine and
carries it out of your body. It includes your
bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this
system, they can cause an infection.
Most urinary tract
infections are
bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not
serious if it is treated right away. If you do not take care of a bladder
infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A
kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent
germs get into your system through your urethra, the tube that carries urine
from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause
these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. If
these germs get inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and
kidneys and cause an infection.
Women tend to get more bladder
infections than men. This is probably because women have shorter urethras, so
it is easier for the germs to move up to their bladders. Having sex can make it
easier for germs to get into your urethra.
You may be more likely
to get an infection if you do not drink enough fluids, you have diabetes, or
you are pregnant. The chance that you will get a bladder infection is higher if
you have any problem that blocks the flow of urine from your bladder. Examples
include having kidney stones or an enlarged prostate gland.
reasons that are not well understood, some women get bladder infections again
and again.
You may have an infection
if you have any of these symptoms:
Call your doctor right away if you think you have an
infection and:
doctor will ask for a sample of your urine. It is tested to see if it has germs
that cause bladder infections.
If you have infections often, you
may need extra testing to find out why.
prescribed by your doctor will usually cure a bladder infection. It may help to
drink lots of water and other fluids and to urinate often, emptying your
bladder each time.
If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, take
the pills exactly as you are told. Do not stop taking them just because you
feel better. You need to finish taking them all so that you do not get sick
You can
help prevent these infections.

APA Collections Update from Noriko Sanefuji:
What essential cooking utensil comes to mind when you think of Chinese cooking? Probably, the wok. The basic design of the wok has not changed in centuries. The wok's rounded form is optimal for cooking with a small amount of fuel, higher heat at the base, and varied temperatures along the curve. It is a necessity in regions where fuel is scarce and food must be cooked quickly. For faster cooking and heat distribution, ingredients in the wok are usually chopped into small, thin slices. The wok is also the ultimate tool of kitchen convenience, as it can be used to boil, sautee, stir-fry, deep-fry and steam. It remains the main cooking appliance in Chinese restaurants today, and can also be found in many American homes.
This wok dates back to the 1880's and was used by Chinese immigrants in California. These immigrants who came to work in the gold mines and railroads, brought this type of wok to America and continued to cook Chinese food in their new land.
Chinese immigrants brought not only the wok but also cooking utensils such as spatula and ladles, which are commonly used with a wok. The long handles safeguard the cook from the high heat. A skimmer removes surface items from the wok, the ladle adds or removes ingredients, while the spatula is an all-purpose tool.
These objects are currently on display in the Sweet & Sour showcase in the National Museum of American History on the first floor.

Reviews for the Samsung RC710-S02UK
Source: CNet
If you're after a big-screen laptop that's suitable for family use at home, Samsung's RC710 may appeal. Our version of this 17.3-inch machine will set you back around £750, but does it have the chops to keep the whole family entertained? The 17.3-inch Samsung RC710 offers a decent processor, screen and keyboard, but its boring design and sub-par gaming performance limit its appeal as an all-round entertainment laptop.

Large laptops tend to be characterised as 'desktop replacements' - that is, they're designed to sit on a desk and not be moved very much, and used as a replacement for a desktop computer. The Samsung RC710 S02, with a 17.3in screen, isn't explicitly marketed as a desktop replacement, but it's unlikely to be most people's choice of portable computer. All in all, those who don't need portability will find this a good-value computer.

If you need a laptop for getting online, enjoying your media and staying in touch with friends and family, the RC710 is a great option, though best kept at home, thanks to the bulky build and limited battery life.

NVIDIA GeForce 315M: Slightly lower clocked GeForce 310M and therefore also based on the GT218 core that was introduced with the Geforce G210M. Entry-level graphics card that was introduced in late 2010.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
480M: The Core i5-480M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.66-2.9 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.9 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.
73.33%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

ROADS assistant minister Wilfred Machage was cleared yesterday to run for the Migori senator on an ODM ticket. Machage said he did not get direct nomination after losing to rival John Magaiwa in the primaries in some areas.
"Nyatike, Awendo and parts of Uriri and Kuria constituency didn't have any senate nomination while Rongo didn't have senate ballot papers," he said.
He is set to vie for the seat against Polycarp Atinga, who was also cleared by Ford Kenya. The women representative aspirant Dennitah Ghati picked her certificate accompanied by Susan Owino. Ghati will face Elsheba Akinyi Ayoma who was cleared by TNA.
In Migori East constituency, Junet Mohammed was cleared to run for the parliamentary seat on an ODM ticket after close rival in the primaries, John Pesa, also claimed to have been cleared by the party and wielded a provisional certificate.
Junet took the certificate and thanked residents for supporting his bid although he came from a minority community. "Migori residents and ODM have shown democracy can prevail," he said.
Junet said he will campaign for Raila Odinga to ensure he gets maximum votes in areas inhabited by Muslims such as Coast and North Eastern provinces.

press release
In an opinion research report released by TNS today, it was revealed that 77% of young South Africans support the implementation of the Youth Wage Subsidy.
On top of that, 66% of people older than 31 - those who would not directly benefit from the subsidy - also support the implementation of the policy.
The people have spoken clearly. A vast majority want the youth wage subsidy and they want it now.
Government's decision to delay the youth wage subsidy is therefore in effect putting the agenda of COSATU's leadership above the interests and will of a vast majority of South Africans.
This policy can benefit 423 000 young people in three years. We've got the money for it, Treasury's drawn up the plan and the people support it.
The time has come for government to do the right thing and put the interests of the people first.

text: Sea urchin exoskeletons could help capture CO2 Science 05 February 13 by Philippa Warr Vicky Brock / CC BY SA 2.0 The way sea urchins convert carbon dioxide into calcium carbonate to build their exoskeletons has provided an interesting avenue of exploration for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) research.The urchins use nickel particles as a catalyst as they convert CO2 dissolved in the ocean into calcium carbonate (chalk) for use in building their hard shell. By passing CO2 through a water column infused with small nickel particles a team of chemical engineers was able to convert the waste gas into chalk which could be collected from the bottom of the column."When we analysed the surface of the urchin larvae we found a high concentration of nickel on their exoskeleton," said Dr Lidija Šiller, a physicist and Reader in Nanoscale Technology at Newcastle University. "Taking nickel nanoparticles which have a large surface area, we added them to our carbonic acid test and the result was the complete removal of CO2."Many current CCS projects are focusing on underground storage of CO2 using resources like water-bearing rocks but the urchin observations raise the possibility that nickel nanoparticles could be put to work capturing a little of that excess CO2 in a reliable and cheap fashion."The beauty of a nickel catalyst is that it carries on working regardless of the pH [unlike enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase] and because of its magnetic properties it can be re-captured and re-used time and time again," said lead author Gaurav Bhaduri. "It's also very cheap -- one thousand times cheaper than the enzyme -- and the by-product (the carbonate) is useful and not damaging to the environment."Image: Vicky Brock / CC BY SA 2.0 Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

A federal district court in New York struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional. That's the same problem provision that two other district courts and one appellate court recently have deemed unconstitutional.
The ruling is the fourth federal decision finding that section 3, which denies federal marriage benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples, is an unconstitutional interference in a state's right to define marriage. The case involved a woman whose same-sex marriage was recognized in New York, but not by the federal government under DOMA. When her spouse died, she was required to pay over $360,000 in federal estate taxes; married couples are exempt from this tax. In her decision, Judge Barbara Jones found that the provision did not pass the lowest level of scrutiny, rational basis review.
That's surprising because laws rarely fail rational basis review, under which courts must uphold the validity of a law if it is rationally related to even a legitimate conceivable government purpose. By contrast, the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit invalidated DOMA after applying a heightened standard of review.

Top 5 inside D-tackle prospects
Notre Dame should be scary up front in 2013
Originally Published: May 17, 2013
By Mel Kiper Jr. | ESPN Insider
Louis Nix IIIJonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesLouis Nix III is an imposing force inside for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Debating the playing weight for defensive tackles is sort of like debating the horsepower in a car. What the manual claims doesn't really matter as much as performance. The number is almost secondary.
At 350, can it maneuver like a smaller car?
At 300, can it still drive through a brick wall?
Louis Nix III has always been a big guy who could move like a smaller one. As a high school recruit, his evaluation noted that he (even at a listed 318 pounds), "Displays solid speed for a big guy and adequate short-area, change-of-direction skills." And brick walls? Sure. It's hard to ever trust an "official" weight until it's the one we get from the NFL combine, but I've heard Nix is going to play at more than 340 pounds this fall, which certainly will have us keeping a close eye on his burst off the snap and his ability to shed blocks.
But from all indications -- and certainly by his brief time at QB -- he still looks like a big guy who can really move. He starts the summer as my top-rated defensive tackle for the 2014 NFL draft class.
1. Louis Nix III, junior, Notre Dame
Nix is that rare defensive tackle with the size to operate as a two-gap, zero-tech nose tackle in a 3-4, but the quickness to be a 3-technique penetrator in a 4-3. He has a great first step off the snap for any D-tackle, much less one at his size, and if he gets his arm through he can clear blocks quickly and get after the quarterback. That said, when blockers get their hands on him (and he will soak up double teams) he could use his hands better and not simply be content to push the blocker into the backfield.
But that's not an awful downside. Nix is probably better when he's certain it's a pass; he just gets more of a burst. Against the run, he's good but could be more disruptive. A good player now, he has a chance to be a great one.
2. Timmy Jernigan, junior, Florida St.
At a hair under 300 pounds, Jernigan now carries the size of a 4-3 3-tech defensive tackle, but he still has the quickness you'd associate with a defensive end. He can penetrate and not merely disrupt plays, but actually chase down runners and quarterbacks in pursuit.
Like a lot of more athletic D-tackles, Jernigan has to avoid playing too high, or blockers will just get under his pads and lock him up. But he could have a huge season, his first full one as a starter.
3. Anthony Johnson, junior, LSU
A freaky athlete, Johnson is one of those defensive tackles who probably will show up at the combine in the next two years and run in the 4.8 to 4.9 range at about 310 pounds. His signature skill is an ability to seemingly jump the A-gap before the center gets the ball in the quarterback's hands. He's got elite quickness, and thus doesn't occupy blocks in the traditional sense; he causes problems with your ability to run an offense.
Where Johnson needs to develop is how he reacts when quickness isn't enough. The LSU defense has been loaded, and Johnson wasn't a primary focus, because he was playing in rotation. He should now expect double teams regardless of the gap he's attacking, and he will need leverage, violent hands and the ability to shed and move laterally to succeed against added attention. But the talent is there. This is a big year for him.
4. Daniel McCullers, senior, Tennessee
Well, you can't teach size, and McCullers is a load at 6-foot-8 and 370-plus pounds. He's not a great athlete, but is surprisingly mobile, and if the play gets to the edge, you'll see him chase plays in pursuit, getting there to help clean up. McCullers can create a push on pure size -- he can bend back a single blocker.
Where he needs to get better is with pad level. If you get under him or cut his thighs, he's basically stuck, and too often one good blocker can neutralize him. He doesn't get a great burst, so he needs to get a little more bend and uproot blockers.
5. Deandre Coleman, senior, Cal
Quick off the ball for a 6-5, 320-pound player, Coleman can really chop his feet, and he has a little shake in him to get a blocker off balance to shove aside. He's best-suited to be either a 3-4 defensive end or a penetrating 3-tech defensive tackle in a 4-3.
Last season he had 8.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. A fellow Pac-12 D-tackle (see below) was more productive, but I like Coleman's versatility.
Next up
Will Sutton, senior, Arizona St.
A nightmare to block, Sutton piled up 13.0 sacks and 23½ tackles for loss. He could have factored into first-round talk in the 2013 draft.
Chucky Hunter, junior, TCU
The movement science major could study himself, because he can really move at more than 300 pounds. A potential breakout year awaits.
Travis Raciti, junior, San Jose St.
One of the top defenders in the WAC, Raciti is an athlete and will pile up tackles for loss in 2013.
Ra'Shede Hageman, senior, Minnesota
Recruited as a tight end, Hageman is now 310-plus pounds, but maintains some of that quickness you'd associate with a much smaller player.
Calvin Barnett, senior, Oklahoma St.
One of the top D-linemen in the Big 12 last season, Barnett should have a big year now that he's fully adjusted to the level of play after spending his first two years in JC.

Re: Kiper's Top 5 DTs for 2014 Draft
I would keep my eye on this list since the Falcs could use their no1 pick on a def tackle next year.
Sometimes running the Mularkey offense makes me feel like I'm in a prison.

A story about arriving, belonging and finding home.
Poet and playwright Lemn Sissay has adapted this powerful, startling new play from Benjamin Zephaniah's acclaimed novel, first published in 2001and now a worldwide phenomenon.
As a violent civil war rages back home, teenaged Alem and his
father are in a B&B in Berkshire. It's his best holiday ever.
The next morning his father is gone. He's left a note explaining
that his parents want to protect Alem from the war. This strange
country is now his home.
On his own, and in the hands of the social services and the Refugee Council, he lives from letter to letter, waiting to hear something from his Father.
Then Alem meets car-obsessed Mustapha, the lovely 'out of your league' Ruth and dangerous Sweeney - 'no nickname. It doesn't get shortened'; three unexpected allies who spur him on as Alem fights to be seen as more than just the Refugee Boy.
Gail McIntyre, Associate Director for Young People's Theatre at the Playhouse, directs a gripping new production which pulses with energy, anger, loss and beauty.

Adaptation: An Online Resource
Part one of this resource guide will offer a comprehensive and detailed insight into the process of 'adapting' a novel for the stage, focusing on how to extract and interpret information, events and ideas from texts, and how to use planning, drafting, editing, proof reading and self evaluation to shape and craft writing.
Part Two will examine what it may feel like to have to be adaptable in a wide range of unfamiliar settings and contexts, in and beyond the classroom. It will help to encourage students to gain a greater understanding of the flight of young refugees and their needs in a new society. Part two will also offer guidance for teachers about how they can support young refugee students in their schools.

Carving Bits
Carving bits
- Ruby carvers. These popular abrasive bits, left (6), take their name from the mineral particles bonded to the steel body. Over the years, these bits practically have become the power carver s staple tool for refining forms and establishing features.
Available in two grits and a variety of shapes and sizes, ruby carvers cut at a medium rate and leave a sanded-looking surface. They usually cost $5-$10 each.
- Diamond points. Here s another chance to carve with precious stones. Many carvers consider diamond points, such as the examples shown at left (7), to be the crown jewels of carving.
Often thought of as finishing tools or detail-carving bits, there s really no reason diamond points couldn t be used at almost any carving stage. As long as the diamond chips remain bonded to the base material, a diamond bit should be able to cut wood practically forever.
Compared to ruby carvers, diamond instruments cut faster, last longer, leave a smoother surface, and, as you might expect, cost more. (But not, surprisingly, a lot more in many cases. We found prices ranging from less than $5 each when purchased in sets to $30 for a large, single bit.) Diamond points are available in a great array of styles and sizes, too.

Religious leaders are meeting to discuss the ways in which Christians and Muslims can work together to achieve peace. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: A three-day Christian-Muslim summit kicked off in Beirut Monday, with participants discussing ways to achieve peace and justice between Muslim and Christian communities.
Christian and Islamic representatives from around the world are taking part in the summit which convenes under the theme "Christians and Muslims Building Justice and Peace Together in a Violent, Changing World."
Speaking during the opening session at Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque in Downtown Beirut, Sheikh Malek Shaar, the mufti of Tripoli and the north, called on attendees to work on achieving peace.
"You are invited today to translate your ideas, knowledge and theories in dialogue ... to make peace which will only prevail through our religious and human values," he said.
Shaar said that Islam does not impose peace by force, but through fostering religious faith among people, nations and societies.
A similar summit was held at the National Cathedral in Washington in March 2010.
The overall goal of the second summit is to issue a call "to and from" the religious communities of the participants as well as to governments and civil societies across the world to "take effective and just action in response to discrimination, marginalization and violence against religious communities, whether or not they might be a majority or minority population."
Former President Amin Gemayel voiced his confidence in what he called the Lebanese coexistence formula – the blueprint of "unity and stability."
"I believe that the Lebanese formula is paying the price of its success rather than its failure," he said. "Had the Lebanese formula been a failure, then all the forces of extremism, racism, atheism and totalitarianism would not have joined forces to undermine it."
Gemayel said that the success of the Lebanese formula gives Christian-Islamic dialogue the opportunity to make progress. "This dialogue wants a practical experience to refer to."
The Kataeb (Phalange) Party leader said that dialogue between Islam and Christianity should not have the aim of eliminating a conflict between them.
"The major confrontation should pit Christians and Muslims against the world of atheism on one side and the world of extremism on the other," Gemayel explained.
He said that Christian-Islamic dialogue should aim to reach common ground through intellectual currents which bring together Christian and Islamic societies.
Zahle Bishop Issam Darwish, who delivered a speech on behalf of Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios III Laham, warned that a "destructive" Islamic-Christian struggle would break out in the world if Christians ceased to exist in the Levant.
"Coexistence is the future of these countries [in the Levant] and Christians are an important element ... there is no coexistence without Christians."

Dorel Golan´s stoppage-time winner, just seconds after Dmitri Sychev had struck a post with a shot which looked destined to send England out, must have raised the roof not only off the Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv but the Grove Hotel in Watford, where McClaren was watching on, accompanied by his coaching staff.
McClaren must have been shredding his fingernails as, for 29 long minutes, Israel resisted their increasingly-desperate vistors after Diniyar Biyaletdinov had levelled Elianiv Barda´s early effort.

YIELD: Makes about 1 1/2 quarts
In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, the cream, the sugar, and the star anise, bring the mixture just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170°F. on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely. Stir in the Pernod and freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Book Donations
We appreciate the generosity of the community in wanting to donate books for our collection, in order to best serve our students and faculty the librarians have developed a gift book acceptance policy. Please keep in mind that is costly to accept a book- a librarian must check to see if we already have it and determine if it fits the collection strategy. If we accept the book, it must be catalogued and shelved. The process costs us over $10 per book for every book that comes in the door, whether we add it to the collection or not. Cash gifts to cover the cost of processing gift books are always welcome. The University Library is happy to talk with you about the books you want to donate so that your gift can be made in a meaningful way.
If you wish to contribute books to the IUPUI University Library, please contact Librarian Kevin Petsche at 317-278-2330.
There are several places that will accept book donations that might better align with your materials and goals.
They include:
