Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, September 1995, pg. 12
Special Report
A Matter of Principle: Gaza Human Rights Lawyer Raji Sourani
By Janet McMahon
Attorney Raji Sourani is, unfortunately, not the only Gazan to be imprisoned by both the Israeli government and the Palestinian National Authority. He may be the only one, however, whose detention resulted in the PNA receiving within 18 hours close to 100 faxes from around the world calling for his release.
For the past decade, Sourani has been defending Palestinians before the Israeli military courts in Gaza. He opened his own practice in 1982, after serving a three-year sentence imposed by an Israeli court which convicted him of membership in the illegal Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (with which he no longer is affiliated). His defense work has also resulted in his being held twice under Israeli administrative detention, with no charges filed, and during which he was subjected to beatings and other physical abuse.
Widely regarded by 1991 as Gaza's foremost human rights lawyer, Sourani became director of the Gaza Center for Rights and Law. That same year, he received the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, having received the previous year a Ford Foundation fellowship to participate in a special program for human rights advocates at New York's Columbia University.
Last February, shortly after the PNA established its secret state security courts, Sourani wrote a letter to President Yasser Arafat criticizing the courts as a "drift away from democracy and governmental accountability, the stripping of the judiciary's independence and the removal of legal protection for the Palestinian people." He simultaneously released the letter to the press. Shortly thereafter he was taken from his home to a police station for questioning and held for 18 hours before being released.
In April, having failed to heed advice to "keep a low profile with the media," Sourani was fired as director of the Gaza Center, which the board has announced will be reopened as a "national archive." Since then, Sourani and his staff have established the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, which, although licensed by the PNA, does not have access to the funds allocated to the Gaza Center's human rights work.
Speaking at the United Nations North American NGO Symposium on the Question of Palestine thlis past June, Sourani identified what he sees as the basic violation of Palestinian human rights from which all others spring, regardless of the governing authority: "The fundamental problem is the denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination."
Following his appearance in New York, Sourani traveled to Washington, DC, where he discussed his work during a visit to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.
Sourani noted that, prior to the establishment of Palestinian self-rule in Gaza, the Gaza Center for Human Rights had credibility with the Tunis-based PLO as an "independent, professional human rights organization, one that did not act as a tool for any faction."
The center and its director maintained that stance after the signing of the Declaration of Principles in 1993. Sourani "tried to describe what the DOP really meant—for example, 'redeployment,' not 'withdrawal' of Israeli troops." He issued communiqués criticizing the torture and death of suspected collaborators, the "massive waves of arrests" of political opponents, and the establishment of the state security courts.
Sourani described the PNA's reaction to his criticisms as "shocking and unexpected." While he supports the PNA as the national authority in Gaza, he adds that "a positive, constructive relationship does not mean saying everything is just fine."
The human rights activist described his basic principle, and the source of his consistency, succinctly: "Human rights can't be selective, where you can take it or leave it. If you're ashamed of something, don't do it."
Raji Sourani is well aware of the difficult position in which Yasser Arafat and the PNA find themselves, and views their dilemma as inherent in the terms of the DOP. As he said in New York, discussing PNA efforts in tackling opposition groups, "The Palestinian Authority is being used as an instrument of Israeli policy." He added,"Despite the burden which the Palestinian Authority carries, and even the excuses that can be made, the violation of basic human rights cannot be tolerated."
Isolated vs. Systematic Abuses
In Sourani's view, the PNA "initially didn't have the intention to be bad toward human rights." Rather, he believes, Yasser Arafat and his aides intended to be "sort of...good." He sees a difference between isolated instances of human rights violations, such as the killing of suspected collaborators, and systemic, institutionalized violations, such as mass arrests and the state security court, and absolves the PNA of initiating such egregious violations. "If it's systematic," Sourani said, "it's been pressured by Israel."
Sourani contends that Israel had three main objectives in signing the DOP: first, to project the image that peace existed, an image Sourani calls "totally, intentionally misleading"; second, to achieve a security Israel had not managed to attain in 27 years of occupation. Sourani pointed out that true security requires a good system, which takes more than the one year the PNA has had to establish its authority, and a good environment. The environment in Gaza is now "totally poisoned," Sourani said. "People don't feel this peace brought any good for them."
Israel's third objective, according to Sourani, is to maintain the status quo, and he wonders if this was the Israeli intention from the beginning. Certainly, he now thinks, he was "totally naive" for thinking at the time that, "since Israel had imposed 95 percent of the DOP, they had an interest to implement it. But they didn't!"
Because the question of Palestinian elections is related to the other inequalities in the DOP, and hence ultimately under Israeli control, Sourani also is "not optimistic about elections." If Arafat agrees with Israeli stipulations, he said, the elections will be simply "form without any content." But, Sourani emphasized, "these people are going to negotiate the fate of the Palestinian people at large, so it's no joke."
Despite his concerns for the future of Palestine and his pessimism about upcoming elections, Raji Sourani's demeanor is in no way that of a defeated man. Even with the inherent imbalance of power in the Declaration of Principles, Sourani believes, it is still something worth fighting for, because "if the DOP is implemented, you can't rule out the possibility of having independence. But with this situation, it's ruled out. There will be no independence."
Janet McMahon is the managing editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.

Find out what makes Cambridge's Brendan Reid not your normal school nurse
Posted: May 30, 2014|
Brendan Reid is no ordinary school nurse.
Dressed in biker gear, he travels through Cambridgeshire on his Kawasaki motorcycle attracting curious looks from school reception staff when he introduces himself – and not just because of his mode of transport.
Brendan, who is based at Chesterton Medical Centre in Cambridge, is one of only eight male school nurses in the country, and he is doubly rare because he specialises in youngsters' mental rather than physical health.
But with 14 years of experience in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), which has seen him work in both wards and the community, Brendan is used to being the only man in the team – which now sees he and his three colleagues cover all primary and secondary schools in the area.
He said: "I guess my experience has been that wherever I've tended to work, I've always been in the minority.
"Within CAMHS it's just how it is and is not necessarily remarked upon but coming into a service where it is seemingly so much more unique, the main comment I get is 'you're a bloke'.
"The amount of comments, putting aside the obvious observation, is probably more that it speaks to the lack of male role models that exist in kids lives outside the home."
Brendan joined Cambridgeshire Community Services (CCS) in December, having spotted that the trust was looking for mental health experience, and he has now settled into supporting schools and the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of their students.
In primary schools, Brendan's role tends to involve providing reassurance to parents' worries about healthy living and sleep patterns, while at secondary school level he focuses more on exams and relationships.
He explained: "In secondary schools I take direct referrals with the needs and worries that young people might have, from sex, weight issues and smoking, all the way up to self harm and not wanting to live.
"The school nurses to some degree tend to be the first people from a health perspective that the kids might come and speak to and perhaps at times might even be the first people they come and speak to about it full stop.
"As much as we work in schools, we are separate to them – we're a confidential, discreet service."
And it is the simple pleasures Brendan enjoys the most.
He said: "The best bit is going in and seeing kids who are generally happy with ordinary worries, certainly in primary schools, in spite of the context of their lives."

I'm not considering it, lol, but I'm curious o__o Because when straight girls talk it's similar to guys and girls flirting with each other, except...well, it's not flirting. So how do lesbian women flirt, and how do they tell if the girl they're after is straight or gay?How do lesbian women flirt with girls?
There's no way to tell if the girl we are after is straight or gay other than straight out asking. It's why I've fallen for mainly straight girls. I find out later they're straight. :0/
Flirting is the same as a straight girl and a straight guy. Eye contact that never breaks, a smile throughout the whole conversation, touching, etc. It's the same. It is hard to tell at times whether a person is flirting or just being friendly. It's even worse when the person's a natural flirt so flirts with everyone.How do lesbian women flirt with girls?
like you see in movies.
when the girl flirts with the guy.
or if the guy flirts with the girl.
like what sara said, it's the same like straight people. But usually gay people use their gaydar first so if both parties know the other is gay then the chemistry will be different than friendship styles. ;)

"Ian Pearse from Australia is testing materials he believes, if added, could allow the water to drain," Charles said. "He is currently at USC, and we're expecting him out here later today. If this material continues to work well in the lab, we'll consider testing it on parts of the racetrack."
Pearse is the developer of Pro-Ride, a synthetic surface in use at several training centers in Australia.
The Cushion Track material contains a fine silt that bonds to water and doesn't drain vertically as it should, according to Charles.
The other option under consideration is for Santa Anita to replace the Cushion Track with dirt, pending the approval of a waiver to do so from the California Horse Racing Board. The CHRB has scheduled a special meeting Jan. 17 to consider such a waiver. The situation is being evaluated on a "day-to-day basis," Charles said.
"We're also continuing to experiment with dirt and are looking at several different samples," Charles said. "If we go with dirt, we're going to put in the best possible sandy loam."
The past two days, track officials have met with trainers and owner representatives for the California Thoroughbred Trainers and the Thoroughbred Owners of California to apprise them of the options the track is considering. Charles said that Del Mar could be a training option should the track have to close for a period of time.
Charles said he could not speculate as to the exact dates the track would close should it be decided to re-install a dirt surface. Such a renovation could take eight to 10 days, he said, but he added that they would try to schedule it to minimize lost racing dates. He said there was a possibility of running all-grass cards on the weekend.
"This is just too big a decision, with too much at stake, to rush into."
The CHRB amended Santa Anita's license Jan. 8 so that some or all of the dates could be switched to Hollywood Park.
"We don't foresee having to go to Hollywood Park," said Charles, who added that having that option gives them the flexibility should it become necessary.
Asked whether a possible renovation could affect the Jan. 26 Sunshine Millions, Charles acknowledged the difficulty of finding an optimum time to re-install dirt.
"Right now, the most important thing is the safety of the horses and riders," Charles said. "Obviously, we're concerned about the Sunshine Millions, but equally important is clearing up the uncertainty of the rest of the meet whenever it rains."
Also of concern is the 2008 Breeders' Cup, to be held at Santa Anita. Charles said that, if Santa Anita re-installs dirt. they would evaluate the situation with Breeders' Cup as well as with horsemen following the close of the meeting April 20.
Santa Anita lost an unprecedented three days of racing because of rainy weather canceling the Jan. 5, 6 and 7 cards. Racing resumed Jan. 10 and is expected to continue as scheduled through Jan. 14 with good weather in the forecast. All sprints Jan. 10 were shortened to 5 1/2 furlongs because the six-furlong chute had taken the worst of the rain. Longer sprint races are carded for Jan. 11 and beyond.
The graded stakes lost over the previous weekend -- the San Pasqual Handicap (gr. II), Santa Ysabel Stakes (gr. III), and San Gorgonio Handicap (gr. IIT) -- were rescheduled for the upcoming weekend.

Yes it's true…. another year has passed and it was my birthday again. Unbelievable I know but what can you do? What better way to celebrate your birthday then a phone call from your mom inviting our family over for a birthday dinner and the feature being a Roasted Turkey with all the fixings. Regardless of the time of year this kid loves his turkey. Potatoes, Carrots, Turnip, Dressing, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce…. you name it – we had it.
The meal was absolutely delicious – and of course I had to take a picture of the main feature. So tender and juicy, the turkey was quite delicious. All the trimmings just add to the level of excitment for me. Homemade beets, mustard pickles fresh garden tomatoes and ripe cucumbers top the list of super side dishes.
I got to say – a wonderful meal to close off a great day. Thanks again Mom! Love ya.

What Harvard fund yielded a remarkable 37 percent return on investment last year? The answer: the little known Green Campus Loan Fund. In 2003, this fund proved the wisdom of putting money into energy-efficient, public-health-promoting technologies and materials used in construction across Harvard's campus, most notably at HSPH.
The fund isn't your typical investment vehicle; rather, it's a pot of money available at zero interest to administrators interested in saving money by cutting the costs of building, renovating, and operating Harvard laboratories, residence halls, classrooms, and other facilities. Applicants can obtain loans for capital projects, and pay them back over time with the substantial savings reaped from reduced lighting, heating, cooling, and other expenses.
According to Jack Spengler, Akira Yamaguchi Professor of Environmental Health and Human Habitation at HSPH, the fund demonstrates the long-term value of what environmentalists call "green design." This eco-friendly trend cuts air pollution indoors and out by slashing electricity requirements for buildings supplied by power plants that generate pollution and greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide and methane. For Americans, who spend 90 percent of their time indoors, building green can also curb myriad health problems, from cancers caused by chemicals in construction materials to mold-induced respiratory disease.
Spengler has spent much of the past 25 years studying the relationship between indoor air quality and health. His research shows that indoor environments contribute to greater cancer risks than outdoor environments, mainly because they contain higher levels of carcinogens, such as volatile organic carbons, solvents, and formaldehyde. Owing to modern construction techniques that render indoor spaces airtight, buildings tend to trap these compounds, as well as moisture. Add to the mix infectious agents, pest dander, molds, and other substances, and the result may be health problems for occupants--including asthma, which has reached epidemic proportions worldwide.
Using Harvard
as a living laboratory, Spengler and his colleagues are methodically
documenting how green designs reduce energy use, save money, and improve
productivity and quality of life for staff and students.
Meanwhile, HSPH has engaged Harvard's eight other schools in a broad array of sustainability efforts, ranging from improved energy efficiency, to alternative fuels, and behavioral changes that promote conservation. Much of this activity is channeled through the Harvard Green Campus Initiative (HGCI), a program Spengler launched in 1999 with Tom Vautin, Harvard's associate vice president for Facilities and Environmental Services. The HGCI is striving to make Harvard's campus among the most environmentally sustainable in the world.
In a major initiative this year to curb greenhouse gas emissions, HSPH, the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and Harvard Real Estate Services began purchasing electrical power from a national system that makes greater use of an important and inexhaustible energy source: wind. HSPH's purchase, 48 percent of the total, has cut carbon dioxide emissions by 10.3 million pounds annually, the equivalent of taking 900 cars off the road each year.
Central to the HGCI's efforts are projects financed by the Green Campus Loan Fund (see sidebar on page 29). Established in 2001 with a modest $3 million from the University, the Green Fund bypasses what Spengler and colleagues say is a huge barrier to green design: the reluctance among institutions to spend dollars up front in order to reap savings down the line. For the most part, accounting practices discourage increasing capital expenditures for the sake of long-term efficiency savings.
Another barrier to green design, Spengler adds, is a lack of expertise among architects and builders, and an unwillingness to take design efforts into unfamiliar territory. "It's this anti-Star Trek thing of not wanting to go where no one has gone before," he says.
The Landmark Center renovation underscores the challenge. HSPH Manager of Operations for Energy and Utilities Danny Beaudoin admits that when Spengler first approached him with a green concept for the renovation, his instinctive response was to reject it. "These were radically new and different technologies that I had never heard of, and quite frankly, didn't agree with," Beaudoin recalls. Why? "Because in operations we have to maintain these systems and fix them when they break down." Beaudoin wasn't the only naysayer; his engineering and architectural contractors also balked at Spengler's ideas in favor of traditional approaches.
Beaudoin says his position softened as he thought more about HSPH's role and the mission of the HGCI. Wanting more evidence to support the green design or argue against it, he paid the engineers to explain on paper why they felt the green design was infeasible. As it turned out, the engineers' research led to the opposite conclusion: They found the design was in fact viable; moreover, they generated fresh ideas about how it could be deployed. The architects came on board soon after, and Spengler's renovation plan went forward. Today, the contractors routinely tout their green capabilities, valuable assets in a growing sustainability market.
Just how far will Harvard take this opportunity? Spengler and Sharp acknowledge they are on the front end of a process whose outcome is unknown. The optimal green campus would not only yield zero greenhouse gas and wastewater emissions, but generate more energy than it consumes. "Places all over the country have aspired to this ideal," Spengler says. "But no one has ever done it on this scale."
Lessons learned at Harvard could have wide impact on environmental and human health as they transcend campus boundaries and filter out to the rest of the world. Within 100 years, "What we now consider the built environment globally will have to be doubled," Spengler predicts. "And we can expect a need for hundreds of millions of new housing units in China and India alone. It's not far-fetched to imagine that the built environment and the burdens it imposes on both the earth's resources and the public's health will be truly incredible. The only way out of this is to apply new technology, and build smarter."

Thursday, June 27, 2013
The women's barracks at the St. George Detention Center has been without hot water for the past two weeks, Detention Director Cpt. Terrance Van Doran confirmed Tuesday.
However, the first he heard about the problem was Thursday, June 20.
"Apparently," he said, "maintenance workers thought they had the problem fixed. The person in charge was out of town, and he thought it was repaired."
Van Doran agreed it was a case of poor communication and said emphatically "that has been addressed."
Van Doran was not happy with the situation. "I am very irritated."
When he notified the sheriff, Sheriff L.C. Knight was less than pleased saying "do whatever it takes and get it fixed," said Van Doran.
A repair representative was scheduled to come Tuesday evening to see if the boiler could be fixed or if another was needed. "The boiler is 10 years old," said Van Doran. "It is supplied by a company out of Tennessee."

A number of new state laws go into effect today, including one which could have a profound impact on the lives and livelihoods of many Tennesseans. This is a new provision that allows the state to revoke the driver's licenses of residents who owe court-related taxes and fees.
The law, which was actually passed by the General Assembly last year, requires court clerk's offices across Tennessee to send information to the state Department of Safety about those who are delinquent on their court fees and costs for more than a year. State officials will then suspend driving privileges until all the fees are paid.
As Press Staff Writer Becky Campbell wrote last week, Washington County Court Clerk Karen Guinn said the law applies to anyone who was assessed court costs and fines on or after July 1, 2011.
Guinn told the Press she's concerned about defendants who have been paying on their court costs, but don't or won't have it paid in full by the one-year deadline. And Guinn said it's not an option for her office to delay reporting the delinquencies.
We share her concern about defendants who are making a good faith effort to retire their obligations. We also understand the argument that taking a driver's license away from a defendant might harm his ability to earn the money he needs to pay those court fees. Even so, we think this approach will prove successful.
It has certainly worked in convincing deadbeat parents to honor their commitments. The state Department of Human Services has collected millions in back child support payments since 2006. That was when DHS began sending out notices warning deadbeat parents they were in jeopardy of losing their professional, recreational and driver's licenses.
Critics have argued that taking the driver's license of a parent who is delinquent on paying child support is an extreme punishment that actually makes it harder for the individual to pay what they owe. That is exactly what makes the policy an effective tool for collecting overdue child support.
DHS officials say parents who can't pay the full amount are allowed to work out a payment plan, but those who refuse to pay lose their licenses. You might say the DHS is using a carrot-and-the-stick approach to making parents do the right thing in regard to paying child support.
We believe this approach will also work in collecting delinquent court fees and costs.

latest news & events posts
I was invited to the VitaMix headquarters in Cleveland, OH to shoot a 60-minute DVD that will be included in their latest VitaMix Turbo Blend Variable Speed blender. This was a huge honor for me, as you all know how much I love my VitaMix. My family had an early model in our kitchen from the 70s, so I've used the VitaMix my entire life.
The production was shot in a big stadium kitchen where the production crew and VitaMix employees including chefs, food scientists, marketing, and product development filled the stands. I think we shot about 14 or 16 segments in just 2 days! The owner of VitaMix is vegan, so all the recipes are free of dairy and animal products.
Bob Stefanov, the director, was a joy to work with. We had loads of fun and made sure to laugh a lot.
The wonderful team at VitaMix. I am so eager to watch the videos, haven't seen them yet, and friends were telling me they watched it at the VitaMix booth at Expo West last weekend up on a big screen TV. We're planning a big launch at Expo West, so make sure to look for me at the VitaMix booth in March in Anaheim, CA.
The new TurboBlend Variable Speed will be available at natural food stores including Whole Foods Markets. So excited to help launch this new product with VitaMix!!
We launched FoodStuff LA with a big celebration at the Pedal Patch Community offices in downtown LA. Above is founder Jason Boarde and Rebecca McQuigg Rigal who works through GOOD with the Pepsi Refresh Project as the Arts & Culture Ambassador.
My RAWvolution event is on September 19th, where we'll be harvesting from the PPC local community and rooftop gardens, then preparing a delicious raw food meal. Hope you'll join me for this fun event.
Christian Page is a locavore, sourcing the finest organic ingredients from our local community. He made all the food happen for this event, including delicious black mission figs, which I ate by the pint! Christian's Living La Vida Local event is in October.
LA Green Girl Siel was at our event, and it was lovely to finally meet her in person…a fellow Korean American!
I made it to San Diego Tuesday for the launch of Sambazon's Warrior Up campaign… and to see my new billboard in person. I found it at 30th and Adams, in the Hillcrest area of town, supposedly where all the hipsters hang out. Kato and I screamed and giggled when we first spotted it. What a feeling!
Sambazon is helping to promote organizations that give back to our communities and to the world, and Pedal Patch Community in downtown LA is the non-profit I'm working with. Jason Eugene Boarde is the Director of PPC, and is pictured to the right above at one of the community gardens.

PPC is a community supported social enterprise advocating innovative, community-based solutions to hunger, food insecurity and sustainability. PPC works with at-risk youth and develops edible landscapes and garden communities that focus on positive land use, eco-literacy, food system sustainability, food security matters and community involvement. We're launching a series of talks and events called Food Stuff LA on August 21st, 2010 designed around a panel of experts providing a healthy dose of wellness, good food, and ardent discussion to raise awareness around healthy sustainable food options and food security and safety issues.
Now, on to the PARTY!…later that evening, we headed to downtown San Diego for the launch and press event. It was in a warehouse with beautiful exposed brick walls. The 11 warrior images were posted on opposing walls, and the space was transformed into a hip art gallery.
I felt so honored to be in a line up with Jack Rose and free surfer celebrity Jon Rose. They both work to make clean drinking water available to those in the world who need it most through their non-profits Rain Catcher and Waves for Water. Currently, they're traveling into Haiti every other week with ceramic water filters and buckets to set up water filtration systems to save lives. I'm in awe of this father and son team. They both have beautiful spirits, fiery passion and drive, and amazing stories.
To the right is master surfer Rob Machado who's non-profit, Rob Machado Foundation, funds educational programs to help kids better understand their contribution towards a healthy planet. Programs include community gardens on school grounds.
Hans Rey, the pioneer in trails mountain biking and all time legend, provides bikes for people in developing countries in need of transportation to get to work or school through his non-profit Wheels 4 Life. We've had mutual friends in common for a couple years, and it's always awesome to finally meet in person.
Kassia Meador is a real beauty. Kassia is a pro surfer, Roxy swimsuit model, and is a spokeswoman for Keep a Breast. Keep A Breast is a non-profit organization that exposes young people to methods of prevention, early detection, and support through development of habits that will benefit their long term health and well-being. Kassia and I share the same ideas for preventative care, eating right, and decreasing toxic load on the body.
Jeremy Black is one of the founding brothers of Sambazon.
And, Ryan Black is the other brother. Both are super handsome, smart, sweet, and doing really great things on the planet like making anti-oxidant rich Acai available for us here in the U.S.A. while giving back by creating sustainable projects in the Amazon.
Here's the man behind the camera, responsible for all the beautiful photos in this campaign…JP Greenwood. He was laying low all evening, and I needed help finding him in the crowd..he's super talented, and so modest!
And, here's 2 of the magic makers at Sambazon….Kaia, to the left, and Alana, to the right. They're the dynamic duo. Kato Banks has been a very good friend for many years from back in my San Francisco days.
This was a hugely successful event and launch of an amazing new campaign, which is no surprise since everything Sambazon does rocks!
My NYC tour kicked off last Monday at Rockefeller Center on the set of LX New York at NBC studios. I chat about the benefits of a raw food diet with hosts Janice Huff and Jane Hanson. You can watch my segment here, though it's stretched out horizontally and the audio is out of synch. (As soon as I get my own copy of the segment, I'll repost)
Tuesday evening, I had a food demo, talk, and book signing at Bonobo's Restaurant. The room was packed with folks eager to learn more about raw food nutrition and recipes. I demonstrated how fast and easy it is to make my Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad with zucchini, tomato, avocado, and herbs.
Pictured above is Rose Voisk of the World Olympians Association. She was a gymnast in the 1948 London Olympics. She looks great, is vibrant, and strong. A testament for eating well.
Wednesday evening, I was hosted by the lovely Hyacinth Mills of New Life Journeys and her Montclair Raw Food Meetup Group. I demoed my Super Cacao-Coconut Energizer smoothie recipe from page 39 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials. Hyacinth's group is full of vibrant folks excited about raw foods. Her husband and 2 boys are handsome as can be, and Hyacinth has a natural glow of beauty. A great spokes model family.
I had randomly bumped into Hyacinth at Port Authority late on Monday night, 2 evenings before our event, as we were both catching our buses back to NJ that night. What's the chances of that? It's magic!
Thursday night I was at Organic Avenue for a workshop hosted by Mia Santos Andres. Above are my lovely assistants Sara, Sam, and Lee who helped to prep my recipes and samples, and then helped me set up before my workshop. They all had that glow of inner health and beauty. What angels!
In my workshop, I demoed my Tomato and Tarragon Bisque, page 137, Pad Thai Kelp Noodles, page 227, and Strawberry Kream Pie, page 266 from Ani's Raw Food Essentials. It was another packed house with great audience participation, questions, and book signing.
Thanks Mia for a great event, and for my goodie bag full of green juice in the cute Organic Avenue bottle, and BlackBird Truffles, handmade by raw model Anthony Andersen. Yum!
Mia is so pretty, I look shiny. Ha haaaa. I can't wait to get back to NYC before another 6 years passes….
I had the honor of meeting Dr T. Colin Campbell at the Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down last weekend in Watkins Glenn, New York, where we were both invited to speak about vegan lifestyle, health, and diet. He's pictured above with his wife Karen.
Dr Campbell is the author of the best selling book The China Study. Campbell says about his research in the Philippines "In this project, however, I uncovered a dark secret. Children who ate the highest protein diets were the ones most likely to get liver cancer…" A 20-year research project partnership between Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine found that "People who ate the most animal-based foods got the most chronic disease … People who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic disease. These results could not be ignored," said Dr. Campbell.
In the Farm Sanctuary 'People Barn', I spoke to a full house about the benefits of the raw food diet, why whole and unprocessed foods are important, showed everyone how fast and easy it is to make a healthy Strawberry Kream Pie using just a handful of ingredients, from page 267 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, and then passed out pies to taste. Folks thought the pie was delicious. You can't really go wrong with dates, cashews, almonds, vanilla, and strawberries.
Next, Dr. T. Colin Campbell took the stage, and reinforced many of the same concepts I had presented. He explained why taking supplements doesn't work, and emphasized the importance of avoiding processed foods like all the junk vegan convenience foods on the market. He explained how protein turns-on cancer cells in the body.
In the USA, we promote high protein diets made up of about 80 percent protein. Most Americans eat around 50 percent protein. However, Dr. T. Colin Campbell advocates a diet of at most 20 percent plant-based protein for optimal health and longevity.
My mom and step dad came to the Farm for the weekend, and left inspired by all the great speakers and information, as did everyone! I can't wait to visit the Farm Sanctuary again very soon.
Last weekend, I was invited to speak and demo my raw foods at the Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down annual celebration in Watkins Glen, NY. It was a huge honor to be included in the speaker lineup with founder Gene Baur and T. Colin Campbell, author of the China Study. The Hoe Down was one of the best organized events I've attended.
Volunteers helped me prepare pies for over 120 people in about 30 minutes just before my presentation. We chose the manual 'food processor' style of hand mixing dates with almonds. Good forearm exercise.
Strawberry Kream Pie, from Ani's Raw Food Essentials. Made with dates, almonds, cashews, vanilla, and strawberries. Simple and delicious.
A photo of my raw food demo, taken by Morgan Jamie Dunbar.
It's so much fun to sign books after a raw food demo and talk. I love having this opportunity to connect with other like minded folks in the community.
Later, I got to visit the animals out on the other part of the 200 acre farm. This guy was 3,000 pounds big, what a cutie pie!
Amazing to stand in the pasture with a flock of sheep as the sun was setting. It was so peaceful. Actually, I rested really well on the farm every night.
That evening was the Barn Dance where we line-danced first, then it broke out into a full on night club with a packed dance floor until after 1am. Everyone had tons of energy and was jumping up and down, especially Gene Baur, who was wringing sweat out of his t-shirt! My hair was soaked in sweat too. I noticed no one stunk of body oder, and people's sweat didn't gross me out as it usually does. That's a huge plus for eating clean, vegan, and raw.
I realized this was my 20th year reunion from Cornell, and I hadn't been back to Ithaca since I graduated in 1990 (except returning briefly for my brother Max's graduation in 1993). So, it was a double treat to visit Ithaca and Farm Sanctuary. I'm looking forward to the next Hoe Down in California, and visiting New York's Farm Sanctuary again soon.
My introduction to Sarasota RAWked! Exploring my idea that creating something together with other people in our raw community, rather than going it alone, is more fun, plus makes a bigger splash. We produced and threw down a pumping RAWktail Party, it was the biggest and most successful raw event in Florida to date! Dress code was RAWkstar, of course. A wonderful event and a very warm welcome to Florida and Sarasota.
A RAWstar RAWktail Party isn't complete without headshots. Is that too cheezy?….
We brought together a fun crowd of local hipsters, movers, and shakers. Raw foods help us feel great, look our best, and fuel up for a long night of celebration. Raw food is also great for recovery, detox, and combating damage after a night of partying too hard and not sleeping enough.
The event was held at the Weller Historic Estate, and it was filled with rich period furniture and wonderful styling details. The host Jeff Weller is below in the white button down and jeans. I was to discover later that Jeff gives great massages!
The Weller Historic Estate was at full capacity with well over 120 attendees, and the energy was contagious.
I demoed 4 recipes, which follow below, while people stood around a 20 foot long table to watch and learn how to make fast, easy, delicious raw food treats. Below is Bryant Meyers, to the right, an ingredient sponsor who's home is packed full of cutting edge healing therapy machines like an infrared sauna and scalar wave technology. I was skeptical at first, but the scalar waves made me pass out and sleep restfully the following day. Now I'm a believer.
Above is the spread for our Taco Wraps, served in a cabbage leaf. With raw food, it's easy to have our 'kitchen' anywhere, even in the living room.
Lisa Tomasi, in pink, runs the Naples raw food meet up group. She saved the day and was the best assistant I've ever had! A testament for raw foods, Lisa drove over 2 hours to come to the event, worked all night, drove home, then came back the next day again. An enegizer bunny and beautiful woman.
The man in black above is Vincent Dessberg, who has a roof top garden on a warehouse in the industrial area of town, called "I Grow My Own Veggies". He sponsored cabbage, edible flowers, herbs, and strawberries. I harvested from Vincent's garden just a few hours before the party. It was amazing to see so much food growing on top of an industrial warehouse!
Now, for my recipes. Enjoy!

Day 4 of my SF tour was a dream come true. I visited the YouTube Google campus in San Bruno, where Chef Fletcher Starkey and Pastry Chef Jenna served up 6 raw vegan recipes in their campus cafeteria (recipes follow below).
They labeled each of my raw food dishes with my headshot photo, and they tasted delicious! I enjoyed lunch with my beautiful hosts before my talk, from left to right: Cat, Jill, and Cheryl Pon.
My chili recipe with Taco Nut Meat….how cool is this!
2 raw food salads. Folks said they didn't even realize these recipes were raw! They liked the texture of the wild rice and loved all the flavors and colors.Raw food desserts included my Pineapple Ice Box desserts from Ani's Raw Food Desserts, chocolate truffles, and a blended cantaloupe with blueberries. Yum, and just what I needed before my talk…cacao!
After a delicious lunch, we made our way over to the "UN Auditorium". It was indeed tiered, just like at the United Nations, and was wired with video, projection screens, and monitors. All set up and ready to go for netcasting between all the Google campuses!
What an experience to speak in a fully wired room to YouTube and Google employees across all campuses! YouTube is amazing, enabling us to reach a global audience.
In the mid 90s, I was Internet Media Director for Simon and Schuster. I produced a project where video jockeys went around the Mediterranean. They shot video and then overnighted video tapes to me in California. I would sit with my Avid editors and edit together educational clips, then upload onto our websites. Today, this is all instantaneous and accessible to everyone, thanks to YouTube!All campuses were connected for my presentation and food demo. Next we'll need to find a way to send raw food through the internet, George Jetson's style!
The recipes I made included:
Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato
Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad
Fresh Tomato Chili with Taco Nut Meat
Visit GoSuperLife.com for specials on Kelp Noodles and Raw Cashews, organic ingredients, and my favorite kitchen tools.
On Day 3 of my SF book tour, I visited the vibrant Spencer Christian and beautiful Janelle Wang for a return appearance on their afternoon talk show The View from the Bay. Spencer already loves raw vegan foods, and this visit, we may have won Janelle over to our side with my Jap Chae Korean No-Cook Stir Fry Noodles and Berry Kream Tartlets. (The recipes follow below).
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
It's always fun to be made up by a professional make up artist. Skye said she's been working weeks without one day off. A perfect candidate for the raw vegan diet.
Abbeba kicked off this show with her dehydrated crackers and salsa. I like to remind folks raw dishes like guacamole, salsa, gazpacho, and salads are already popular, so raw foods really aren't that much of a stretch from what we're already eating.
I met this pretty teen last year on my Ani's Raw Food Desserts tour. She seems to have grown a foot or more, and has the coolest parents. Her pops brought her to the Ferry Building for my talk on Saturday, and her mom brought her to the TV station. She's thriving on raw, and is continuing to convert and inspire her friends. What an inspiration.
The 2 recipes I made on air were for my Jap Chae, page 224, and Custard Tartletts, page 267. Jap chae is one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes, and it's traditionally made with rice noodles. This recipe was inspired by my mother, who pointed out how similar kelp noodles are to rice noodles. Mom helped me figure out how to season my noodles with pretty much the same ingredients as the cooked version.
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
JAP CHAE – Korean No-Cook Kelp Noodles with Vegetables
Place the onion and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and toss with salt or soy sauce until mixed well. Nama Shoyu is a raw unpasturized soy sauce, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos is a live food. Another wheat free soy is tamari, if you prefer that. Set aside for at least 15-20 minutes to marinade and soften. Add the carrot and sesame oil. Mix well. Add the noodles and toss to mix well.
Custard Tartlets
CRUST (food processor):
CASHEW KREAM (blended)
To make crust, add nuts and salt into your food processor, and process into small pieces. Add dates to bind together your batter.
Line tartlet pan with plastic wrap. Press 2 tablespoons of the batter into pan. Remove tartlet crust, and place on plate.
Make kream by blending cashews with vanilla and water until smooth.
Scoop into tartlet crust. Top with fresh berry, and serve.
We're offering a special on raw cashews and kelp noodles this month in celebration of my newest book. For organic ingredients and my favorite kitchen tools, visit my estore at: www.GoSuperLife.com
On day 2 of my SF book tour I joined Dixie Mahy and Sharon at their combined SF Life and SF Vegetarian Society potluck in the Mission District for a book signing. I demonstrated my recipe for Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles, from page 227 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials (recipe is below). Dixie, the host, is well into her 70s, and full of fire and good energy. She's a testament to the vegan lifestyle.
The Mission was my old stomping ground in the early 90s, I lived at Treat Street and 24th Street. I was happy to see that much of the neighborhood seems to have kept its charm over the years.
Three beautiful ladies were excited to recently discover raw foods. Common questions were about weight loss and ingredients like agave. What I answer is to be happy, live in moderation, and have an attitude of gratitude. Stressing out about whether a goji berry has been dried 10 degrees too hot adds stress. We are blessed to have the knowledge we do to make informed decisions when it comes to what we choose to eat. We're privileged be able to decline food when people are starving in other countries. Keep perspective, and be happy. Happiness is a reflection of our inner health.
This lovely lady told me how her mom had been sent home to die over 40 years prior. Her mom instantly changed her diet to raw vegan, and has been thriving ever since! I believe illnesses comes from the accumulation of garbage in our body. Enjoying more raw vegan food, which are naturally cleansing and detoxifying, helps to decrease our toxic load along with our overall stress, boosts are immune system, and fuels longevity.
Here she is, thriving after 40+ years on raw vegan foods! She made by day by telling me I was going to save the world. That's a tall order.
A great group of people in SF, where I lived 8 years through the 90s. I miss all my friends and the culture of SF including electronic music, design, fashion, art, and the vibrant community culture. I didn't get to go dancing this trip, so I'll need to visit again soon, socially next time, just to hang out and absorb the beauty of SF.
Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles
Blend all sauce ingredients and toss with noodle ingredients. Enjoy!

Below is the poem entitled Woman Unknown which was written by poet
hales. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Sarah Hales
Watch her walk woman of the unknown
Leather boots heels on fire
Painted face lips powted red
A woman of confidence
A look that you desire
Her hips swing as they cross your path
Her dancing curls tempt your wants
Your thoughts drive you too wild to define
Inside your dream of seduction unfolds
Outside you stare with pounding veins
Rose petals to her feet
Sweet breathes to her smile
Perfumed swept trail surrounds your senses
She has a light that sends her to the rainbow edge
Colours from her aura as an easel is left
Her vision is an artists making
She does not know that you feel her spirit
Her soul is crawling to your hand
Your fingertips think of a touch of such delight
Of the woman unknown

Nonprofit Organization Management
Make a difference in the world. Help people. Spend your days improving the lives of others. Feel good, really good, about the work you do. All while earning a salary and benefits.
If a spirit of altruism guides you, nonprofit organization management is a great path toward community service. The YMCA, United Way, Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries, Habitat for Humanity and the Humane Society are just some of the many nonprofit organizations that need people like you to lead them forward.
"Our graduates are out there doing wonderful things," says Don Francis, professor of sociology and nonprofit organization management at Lakeland. "I've had several students leave here and take executive director positions right away – first job out of school."
An established program
Lakeland's nonprofit organization management program, nationally certified since 2000, was one of the first in Wisconsin and continues to be a state and national leader.
Through the program, you will learn industry staples such as fundraising, grant writing, strategic planning, community relations and other skills vital to succeeding in this industry. You will also cover a broad spectrum of sociology, and if you plan to work with children or teens, you'll take a human growth and development or social psychology class.
"Our intent is to make sure we provide our students with the tools they need, so when they leave here, they can play an important role in society," says Francis.
"Our students want to do good things. They want to be role models. They want to make a difference in society. If you have a genuine concern for doing good things and giving back and being a role model for people growing up, or for taking care of natural resources, and you like people, I would certainly encourage you to consider this program."
Nonprofit Organization Management at Lakeland
When Lakeland's nonprofit organization management students attend national conferences, Francis says they perform exceptionally well in exercises and simulations against their peers from bigger programs such as Indiana University, Purdue University and Arizona State University.
"Our students do very well; they compete against anybody," Francis says. "So they end up leaving Lakeland confident about themselves and what they're doing."
Note: Nonprofit Organization Management major and minor will be available to existing declared majors and/or minors only. Courses will continue to be available as an emphasis in Business Administration
Snapshot of Success
Name: Mark Edmond
Hometown: Lansing, Mich.
Title: Executive Director of Community Outreach
Business: YMCA of Rock River Valley; Rockford, Ill.
Mark arrived with a guarded attitude about Lakeland's relatively small, rural community.
Four years later, he left with a degree – and a much different perspective.
"My experience at Lakeland College molded me into the person I am today," Mark says. "I would never trade it for anything in the world."
After his freshman year, Mark, a homesick young football player, considered transferring. But his classmates, teammates and professors, particularly professor of sociology and nonprofit organization management Don Francis, helped him get through the rocky time.
"Dr. Francis cared about everything I did, just like everyone at Lakeland," Mark says. "Lakeland taught me what real life is all about. As a young African-American male, I wasn't sure what kind of role I could fill. But at Lakeland, it doesn't matter what race you are, how tall or short you are or anything else. If you care, you will be taken care of there. People will reach out to you and help you. I learned so many life lessons there. The people at Lakeland College truly do care."
Mark says his position is challenging and rewarding.
"I love it," he says. "Our focus is youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, and I believe in those things. It's a tough ride sometimes. The 'Y' is out there for everybody, so we get people from all walks of life. Some days I'm a counselor. Other days I'm something else. But it's rewarding. There is never a cookie-cutter day."

Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Christine Ballet Flat:
Bought these for work. They can dress up an outfit while still feeling like a pair of sneakers. I bought them in a very neutral color that will work spring, summer and fall. Great shoe!
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Christine Ballet Flat:
These shoes are adorable! They are exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, they give me terrible blisters. I don't know if it is just a poor fit or what? The back of the shoe is rather rough, so I don't think it is just me. I am going to try to break them in, but in my experience if a shoe makes my feet hurt that doesn't change with time. :(
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Christine Ballet Flat:
These are very cute shoes but definitely take some breaking in. I bought them when they were on sale and had a friends and family certificate otherwise I don't know that I would have bought them. Somewhat expensive otherwise. I did order a size 8, usually wear a 7 1/2 but sized up as suggested. I think with a little more wear they will be just fine.
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Christine Ballet Flat:
Love the look, feel, and comfort of the shoe. BUT, the heel tab was uncomfortable with every step. Also the shoe gaps on the sides as you take a step, not a huge gap but bothersome for me. So my search continues for a shoe similar to this one...
