I usually push my wife too hard & then game over, so I want to create good memories so we'll be hiking years from now. We want to do several weekend backpacking trips this spring to build up to a 2-week trip this summer. We live in northern CA. The weekend trips would be 5-10 miles in, camp, then return. The summer trip probably 150 miles. We're thinking of basin trail in Big basin SP: East bay skyline ridge trail, Castro Valley; & Kennedy Meadows near Strawberry (when the snow melts). And then this summer we will hike PCT from Sonora Pass to Donner Pass. Would that be better than from Yosemite to Echo Lake? We'd love to hear your ideas.thanksBrian
Hmmm, I'm not sure which of the two I'd pick - Sonora to Donner or Tuolumne to Echo. You are choosing between northern Yosemite vs. the Desolation/Granite Chief Wildernesses. Both areas are very nice. Depends on what you want from your trip. That part of Yosemite offers incredible solitude. Desolation/Granite Chief have no solitude, but a thousand different lakes to enjoy, and of course great views of Tahoe.The stretch from Tuolumne to Sonora Pass is a fairly long way without resupply. It's also a lot of up-and-down. If you do that section, save it for last. (So: hike north-to-south from Echo.) You'll be strong, can hike longer miles, and therefore carry a bit less food weight in the Sonora-Tuolumne stretch.Desolation/Granite Chief Wildernesses in some ways are a better pick for newbie backpackers. There are bail-out points. With all the lakes and side trails, you can schedule your hike with some flexiblity - e.g. camp-to-camp today is 5 miles, but if we have extra energy that day we'll drop our packs at mile 5 anyway, and then go for a day-hike exploring one of the side trails/lakes. So, I suppose I'd go north-to-south if I were doing that option, just so I could start with the flexibility in the Desolation/Granite Chief areas.For your overnighters: Kennedy Meadows is not a particularly pretty hike IMO. Start at Gianelli Cabin, also in Desolation Wilderness but a slightly shorter drive. Lots of charming lakes and meadows in there right off the bat. And, speaking as someone else who lives in East Bay, I do not find the campground at Chabot charming at all. Consider overnighting at Point Reyes, Butano State Park, Ventana Wilderness, or even Henry Coe.
+1 on Gianelli trailhead - nicer stuff sooner and way fewer horses/mules than KennedyAlso +1 Echo to Tuolumne, in that direction. Far fewer people, very interesting variety of terrain, geology, & vegetation.
If your goal is a through-hike, it's not going to make a huge difference between trailhead---in 150 miles, the first three don't really matter much. But that said, Why not start at Sonora Pass and just head north from there? As an additional thought...150 is a long trip for most people, and it would be a good idea to get a few medium length trips under your belt. To go from 5-10 miles to 150 is a huge leap.
If you are considering big basin as a warm up trip, I would highly recomend the Sunset loop. You will see several nice waterfalls along the way, and one good stretch is walking along a creek.Big Basin was my first backpacking trip, and even with a rain/hail storm, I couldn't have been more hooked. Get your reservation early though, Sunset can be hard to get.Start at Park HQ, take sunset trail to sunset camp. Then take the skyline to sea trail back to HQ. If memory serves, it's about 6 miles each day.There are a few connector trails from HQ to the trails I mentioned, but they aren't hard to figure out if you get ahold of a map.I like loops, because the second day is still a day of exploration. Not a day of, how long till we get back to the car, I already saw all this...P.S. Big basin is beautiful, one of my favorite parks. Due to life events lately, I haven't been on an overnight there in years. If you want company, let me know, I need an excuse to go back ;)

I checked this thread for a week & let it go. I just saw your responses. Thank you.We decided to go from Sonora Pass to Donner Pass. I had Big Basin on the radar, but will have to add others to it. Where is Gianilli cabin?Brian
Sounds like you already decided what you're plan is, but I thought I'd chime in to re-iterate some of your ideas, and ideas suggested by others...Short Hikes:- Big Basin : Sunset Trail Loop : Done it, very nice hike among the woods and waterfalls. Sunset Camp is nice. 12 mile loop.- Point Reyes : Palomarin to Wild Cat : Done it, very nice hike along the coast with varied flora. Wild Cat camp is awesome. Alamere falls is just down the beach. 5½ miles each way.- Tuolumne Meadows : Budd Lake & Echo Lake : Done it, the hike is along an unmaintained but well traveled use trail to Budd Lake, then cross country for a short (and easy to navigate) bit to Echo Lake. The views are spectacular. I don't think Echo is more than 5 miles in.I'd second the thought of NOT jumping from 10 miles to 100+ miles. How about a medium length hike first to test the waters? The Rae Lakes loop would be great (and challenging). I could suggest a more mild, but still very legit ~50 mile loop in Lassen that I've done with my wife... but it's a bit much to go into here.

Neurotropin to Treat Fibromyalgia
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug, neurotropin, for preventing or easing pain associated with fibromyalgia. A disorder that primarily affects women, fibromyalgia causes widespread aching and stiffness in muscles. Neurotropin has been used in Japan for many years to treat various chronic painful conditions, including fibromyalgia.
Women with fibromyalgia who have been treated unsuccessfully with standard therapy may be eligible for this study. Patients must have a history of widespread pain for more than half of the days in each of the three months before they enter the study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, questionnaires and an electrocardiogram (EKG).
Participants take their usual medications for fibromyalgia in addition to either neurotropin or a placebo (look-alike medicine with no active ingredient). At 6 weeks and 12 weeks into the study, they return to the NIH Clinical Center for evaluation of their sensitivity to pain and level of physical capability. After 12 weeks, study subjects "cross-over" their medication; that is, patients who took neurotropin for the first 12 weeks of the study take placebo for the next 12 weeks, and vice-versa. Again, after 6 and 12 weeks, patients return for evaluation.
Participants have blood and urine tests six times during the study and complete questionnaires each week about their pain, symptoms, and activities.

Detailed Description:
Fibromyalgia is a relatively common disorder, which occurs predominantly in women, that is characterized by widespread aching and stiffness in muscles. Although there have been numerous studies of fibromyalgia, its etiology has remained unclear, but it is generally believed that central pain processing abnormalities are involved. Neurotropin, a non-protein extract of inflamed cutaneous tissue from rabbits inoculated with vaccinia virus, has been used extensively in Japan for many years to treat a variety of chronic painful conditions, including fibromyalgia. This present protocol is a double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study designed to examine the clinical efficacy of Neurotropin in treating women (neither pregnant nor lactating) suffering from fibromyalgia without evidence of any other cause of their complaint of pain. Patients must meet the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia and must agree to maintain a stable therapeutic regimen throughout the 25-week study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Subjects will be drawn from a cohort of well-characterized female fibromyalgia patients who were under the care of Dr. Daniel. J. Clauw when he was at Georgetown University. All patients must continue to meet the criteria established by the ACR for diagnosis of fibromyalgia, and must have been treated unsuccessfully with a current standard therapeutic regimen. The criteria are (A) a history of widespread pain (in all quadrants and back) for more than half of the days in each of the prior three months and (B) the required number,11, of tender points of 18 test sites (indicated in Figure 1), which will be determined during the initial physical examination (see below). They must give informed consent to participate in this study. It is anticipated that almost all patients will be residents of Washington, D.C. area and that they will be able to travel to NIH for necessary preliminary studies and subsequent required evaluations. To be admitted to this study, patients must be willing to continue using only their present medications (including antidepressants) or other forms of care related to the control of fibromyalgia symptoms during the course of the study. The average score on the FIQ for patients seen in tertiary care settings is about 50 (with 100 being the maximum, a higher score indicating a greater impairment of health) and we will include only those patients in whom the FIQ score is greater than 30 at the initial evaluation.
Pregnant and lactating women are excluded because of the bodily changes that would occur during the study. As indicated above, a pregnancy test will be performed in women of childbearing age
(up to age 55). The combination of widespread musculoskeletal pain, high tender point count, and non-restorative sleep are usually sufficient criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia and the patients referred for this study will have been well characterized in the Fibromyalgia Clinic at Georgetown University or by the referring physician. We will, however, by history, physical examination, screening laboratory studies and examination of the patient s medical records confirm the absence of any evidence for peripheral neuropathies, entrapment syndromes, neurologic disorders or metabolic/endocrine disorders, such as untreated hypothyroidism, as well as the rheumatoid disorders that might be confused with fibromyalgia and confound the study. Patients who have abnormal screening test results or who have traumatic or non-traumatic disorders to which pain may be attributed. Also, patients who have a positive HIV result will be excluded. Subjects with obviously impaired mental capacity that precludes informed consent and ability to provide adequate self-ratings are to be excluded.

Scouting Report (by Casey Greer):
Tazawa's deliver has been the subject of concern for many fans. His arm lags behind his shoulder through his deliver, and his follow through is fairly upright and ends abruptly. These things are not uncorrectable and shouldn't be a major concern for fans.
Tazawa lands well, which I think is one of the most important things for pitchers, and unlike many Japanese pitchers, his slightly awkward delivery is not used to mask his pitches or deceive the hitter, so mechanical changes shouldn't throw off any rhythm he has or subtract from his production.
Tazawa balances his weight well, which maximizes his velocity and movement, and also puts the least amount of stress on his arm, compared to production of velocity as is possible.
Tazawa features a low-mid-90s fastball, which tails in on right-handed hitters. His curve, which generally sits between 75-78 mph, is an effective offspeed pitch with sharp, late break. His slider, or possibly a shuuto, which he throws the least of all of the pitches breaks mostly down, and sits in the low-mid-80s.
Tazawa's fastball has enough movement for backdoor strikes on the outside corner, and to cause lefties to chase it out of the zone. His fastball/curve speed ratio is ideal, and will cause hitters to swing on their front foot. His slider, perhaps the most impressive pitch in Tazawa's repertoire has potential to be an out pitch in the bigs.
Pitching Style
Tazawa's style is not dissimilar to that of Clay Buchholz, though he has a lesser fastball. Tazawa relies heavily on his curveball and slider, though less heavily on his slider. To go the distance in the major leagues, one mustn't rely too heavily on their breaking stuff.
Similar to fellow countryman Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tazawa is a nibbler. In the majors, this could will be a problem. Japanese baseball has notoriously large strike zones, and it has taken time for Matsuzaka to adjust; he's arguably still in the infancy of his adjustment process.
Tazawa controls both sides of the plate and changes speeds well, which is impressive at his age. It is rare to see a pitcher of Tazawa's age able to throw the high-inside strike and strike a man out looking.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
After being in the works for about three years, a revamp of the development code was approved by the Carbon County Commission last Wednesday.
The commissioners had a number of questions about the new code and the public hearing yielded a few comments about several changes.
But Carbon County lawmakers approved the development code unanimously in the end.
"The code we had been using was put in place in December 1981 and it was unwieldy and difficult to use," said Dave Levanger, director of planning and zoning for the county.
The new code is easier to use because it is significantly smaller. Carbon County's new code book is less than one-half an inch thick. The old code was more than three inches thick.
"One of the ways we were able to cut down the size is that we condensed much of the verbiage that described what could be done with certain things into tables that make much more sense," said Gayla Williams, assistant planning and zoning official.
"For instance, set back specifications used to take up pages because each was described for various scenarios. Now they are in one table on one page," pointed out Williams.
Other changes in the county's development code include:
Developing a precise definition and criteria for conditional use permits.
Establishing a process for the county to revoke conditional use permits if necessary.
Clarifying in which zones hotels, motels and apartments could be located.
Outlining the requirements for irrevocable letters of credit rather than using bonds for projects.
The requirements are designed to assure that the money will be in place to finish a project in the event developers are not able to complete the work.
The new code also permits people to build primitive cabins, which were not allowed in the past.
In addition, the guideline allows a place for residents to conduct all legal activities. In the past, if a particular business or land use was not spelled out in the code, a piece of property could not be used for the activity.
Other land uses were also added to the county code. For instance, people who buried pets in private yards were in violation of the old code. The new guideline makes allowance for pet burials and makes having a private airport legal.
The old code prohibited the commercial sake of alfalfa or hay produced on private property. The guideline adopted last week legalizes the agricultural-commercial activity.
The code includes a number of zones that have been renamed and more clearly defined so the uses can be regulated more consistently.
Former critical environment 1 designations are now watershed zones. Areas previously classified as critical environment 2 are now mountain range zones.
Former Scofield Lake 1 designation are now waterfront zones. Areas previously classified as Scofield Lake 2 are now the Pleasant Valley zone.
Another change establishes the right for people to be interred after death on private property, but several criteria are linked to the provision. Burials must be done by professionals and the county must link a geographic position via satellite to the site in order to map where the bodies are interred.
The meeting was well attended, partly due to the fence out provision in the code.
In the past, much of the area has been open range. But in recent years, ranchettes have proliferated and people have bought property to put up cabins.
The situation has resulted in a clash between traditional land use and some of the people who do not want cattle on ranchette properties.
The county's new development code specifies that land owners must put up adequate fences to keep livestock and wild animals off the parcels of private property.
At last week's commission meeting, a number of questions were raised on the subject by local cattle producers. The local residents were concerned that cattle may damage an inadequate fence and the person might make a claim against the livestock producer.
It was also pointed out by the local producers in attendance at the county commission meeting that poor fences can hurt cattle by cutting the animals or making livestock fall.
"The code is written so to address the problem of poor fences that could injure animals," noted Levanger. "It addresses weak fences and to low of fences."
But a number of residents in the audience were still concerned with what might happen on either side in the event a related problem should occur in the future.
"I think that would fall under civil litigation if someone has a claim," indicated George Harmond, deputy county attorney.
Several other questions regarding the new development code came from Carbon resident Kathy Taylor.
"My main concern is with the C-1 and C-2 zoning," commented the resident. "I worry about how things are defined between the two. It looks as if they allow the same things."
"How do I know that if a warehouse is built at a location, dangerous materials won't be stored in it?" inquired Taylor.
"Also, I am concerned about what kinds of construction companies are allowed under C-1 and what is allowed under C-2. I think all these things just need clarification."
Levanger told the residents at the gathering that various regulations prevent warehouses from storing certain things in various areas.
The county planning and zoning director also pointed out that only certain kinds of construction fit into the C-1 category, while others were fitted for the C-2 zone.
"I just think that heavy construction should be in the industrial zone instead," Taylor noted.
"There needs to be a fine line. But I am concerned that this new code is not specific enough," continued Taylor.
Commissioners were sensitive to her questions, but also saw that the code needs room to work.
"Actually, while this is not as specific as the old code, the intent is written into it," explained Burge. "That intent will help the commission to make decisions."
But construction in commercial zones bordering Carbon County residents homes was not only Taylor's concern, but also that of Darwin Hunt.
Hunt works for Henry Construction, a company that presently exists alongside county homes.
"I have had experience with many large companies in commercial zones," explained Hunt. "All kinds of businesses exist in these zones. Being obtrusive to neighbors is not what most of these companies want to do. We are sensitive to that."
"Besides, for most construction companies, the heavy equipment is out on the job and not in the yard most of the time, unless it is down or being repaired. It's just a matter of coming and going," continued Hunt.
Troy Hunt also commented to the commission about being sensitive to existing businesses and making sure they would not be affected by such zoning changes.
"The owners of land and buildings can not be deprived of their conditions when they were approved under a different set of codes or conditions," Levanger explained to the concerned county resident. "These changes will not affect your business."
After the public hearing portion of the meeting, the county commission members decided to take the comments made under advisement and looked at some small changes in order to clarify areas of confusion.
In the end, the county commission panel adopted the new code following a brief review and with minor changes in place.

The PRWID board is letting a customer off the hook for a meter reading that showed 500,000 gallons of water being used in a single month.
The district checked for leaks and found none. The meter manufacturer could find no error in the equipment. There was no flooding or apparent damage.
That volume of water is roughly equal to a one-inch pipe blasting out water continuously for one month, which did not seem to be the case.
Board member Ben Blackburn said the district probably didn't lose any water and moved to adjust the bill. The vote was unanimous.

Polish artisans have more than 80 names to describe types of amber, from flame and honey to clouded and woolly. Often found along the Baltic Sea, amber has been popular in jewelry for centuries. Here, teardrops of honey amber are paired with sterling silver leaves in earrings that reflect an early-20th-century art deco style.
Handcrafted in Poland. 1 1/2"L.
Mined in Sicily, Burma, Romania, Poland, and Mexico, amber is actually the fossilized resin of ancient trees, and is among the oldest stones used for human adornment. It has been called the gold of the sea because the most extensive deposits are found along Baltic shores. The Greeks, to whom amber represented the tears Apollo shed as he was banished from Olympus, called amber "electron" because of its tendency to attract lightweight objects when rubbed.

I purchased these earrings as a gift for my mother-in-law for Christmas. I have always admired items in the National Geographic Catalogue, but this was my first purchase. These earrings stood out to me as a lovely item for a very good price. I was very impressed when they arrived, and they are just as lovely as the photograph. They seem well made, and my mother-in-law very much liked them when she opened her present.

The service was so fast my head spun! That was great. Products were packaged carefully. The box for the earrings was shameful and looked like it came from a Dollar General store. Was ashamed to give it to my daughter-in-law in that cheap paper box. The silver looks like plastic with silver paint, but otherwise they are beautiful. Expected a better box from Nat Geo.

I love amber and was thrilled to receive these as a gift, after mentioning that I would buy them for myself. It was as described. However, after about a year of only occasional wear, the amber fell off one of the earrings. Extremely upset!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to review these earrings. We are sorry to hear they did not live up to your expectations. We hope to hear back from you soon about a solution that works best for you.

Beauty for the Ears!
By Lady Lynn
from Las Vegas, Nevada
These earrings can be worn for dress up or casual ware. The Amber in the ones I purchased had insects and seeds in them and the honey color was beautiful. The silver deco design is perfect for the tear drop design of the Amber. They are light weight and the lenght of them are just right.

GREAT BEND Break out the portable fans: the Carthage Central School District hopes to cut spending on utilities in the warmer months.
The Board of Education debated at Mondays meeting whether to increase the temperature at which the districts air conditioning units are set.
The board may make a decision at its Feb. 25 meeting.
The temperature normally is set at 74 degrees, Superintendent Peter J. Turner said, and the units are turned on in May or June.
You can save 2 to 4 percent for every degree you change in the building, Mr. Turner said. Its just an opportunity to save money.
Board member Kent D. Burto said he wanted to see how much money the school would save before making a decision.
All of Carthage Middle School and some classrooms at Carthage Elementary are air-conditioned. Additionally, all computer labs and offices are cooled.
Some were concerned the heat would negatively affect students. High School Principal Joseph S. Sedita said that, among other reasons, the end-of-year Regents testing was moved to the climate-controlled auxiliary gymnasium two years ago because heat can be distracting during high-stakes testing.
Board of Education member Mary Louise Hunt recalled her teaching days at Black River Elementary.
The lack of air conditioning was something we lived with, she said. We just learned how to deal with it. Would the kids have learned more if we would have had it? I dont think so.
However, Mrs. Hunt said she wanted to make sure there would be a few places a teacher could take students if classrooms were getting too warm in May or June.
To me, having not worked in any kind of A/C when I worked here, I liked that I could take my kids to the computer lab, where they can have a reprieve, she said.
The board agreed the air conditioning would not be shut off completely.
Mrs. Hunt said that if the school year were to be extended, as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has suggested, the district should be prepared to keep school buildings at a comfortable temperature into the summer.
We should prepare for that, she said.

Beirut hotels
The Beirut Rundown
Political and financial capital par excellence and most populous city in Lebanon by far, Beirut is blessed with all the signature attributes that make a city extraordinary. A 5,000 year old history for starters but, notably, a deliriously hospitable populace, impetuous nightlife, host of cultural landmarks and a handsome seaside scene all mark the original "Paris of the East" as supreme.
The problem most travellers face in Beirut has to do with sleep; namely when and how to pencil it in. Know this in advance: the capital of Lebanon will knacker you out. But survive you will and, indeed, the better for it. The points of interest and implicit magic of Beirut comes at you in a riotous blaze of noise and colour; from Roman ruins to elegant shisha cafés, venerable museums to contemporary art installations, boisterous supperclubs to the breezy Mediterranean coast.
Political instability and a turbulent past? All part of the package and elements which do, invariably, cast a pall over the city from time to time. Take the good with the bad in enigmatic, magnetic Bayrūt and succumb, as most do, to the charms of this wonderful, singular city.
Beirut's Top 10
10. Robert Mouawad Private Museum is a treasure trove of objets d'art inside Beirut's superb Pharaon Palace.
5. Jeita Grotto is worth the 18 km journey outside of Beirut. The karstic limestone cave system in the Nahr al-Kalb valley is spectacular.
9. Maghen Abraham Synagogue is the oldest, most important synagogue in Beirut and a fine introduction to Wadi Abu Jamil, the city's old Jewish quarter.
4. Archaeology Museum of the American University of Beirut is but one of many gems under the auspices of the foremost academic institution. The museum is a triumph, however, and impressively, the third-oldest in the Middle East.
8. The Grand Serail is impossible to miss. A grand Ottoman-era masterwork that recently underwent an immaculate refurb, the landmark is primarily in use as a government office complex.
3. Sursock Museum is surely one of the most extraordinary structures in Beirut and, furthermore, a remarkable contemporary and Islamic art facility.
7. Pigeon Rocks is omnipresent on Beirut postcards as the most famous natural attraction in the capital, bar none. Walk down the Corniche in Raouché to get a prime photograph of the offshore rock arches.
2. The Corniche is the lifeblood of Beirut and an ebullient hive of activity.
6. National Museum of Beirut is the archive and repository of record in Lebanon, with a colossal collection that includes some of the best artefacts in the country.
1. Baalbek is one of only five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Lebanon and a worthwhile 85 km drive from Beirut. The ancient city is the linchpin wonder of the gorgeous Bekaa Valley.
Beirut History
- Place des Martyrs – An old Turkish plaza, this square was renamed after the persecution of many Lebanese nationalists and intellectuals in 1916.
- Maghen Abraham Synagogue – This synagogue is one of the few remaining traces of a historical Jewish presence in Lebanon.
- Al-Omari Mosque – Built in the 12th century by Crusaders, this church was converted into a mosque in 1291 after the crusaders left.
- Temple of Baalbeck – The site of an ancient Roman temple in Beirut, founded on unbelievably massive stone blocks.
- Clocktower – Located in the downtown area, this Ottoman edifice was reconstructed in 1994 to repair damage done during the civil war.
Beirut Art & Culture
- The National Museum of Beirut – It is the primary archaeology museum in Lebanon.
- The American University of Beirut – The Middle East's third-oldest museum has many artifacts from the surrounding regions on display.
- Sursock Museum – Built by the Sursock family in the 19th century and later donated to the government, this museum is home to Beirut's most popular art.
- Saint Joseph University – This Jesuit college manages the Museum of Lebanese Prehistory.
- Planet Discovery – This children's science museum hosts many interactive experiments and exciting performances.
Beirut Shopping
- Gemmayzeh Café – The best place to listen to authentic Arab music in Beirut while you have a drink.
- Oriental Art Centre – Original souvenirs and vintage postcards are sold at this family business.
- Blue Elephant – If you crave Thai food while in Lebanon, this is the place to stop.
- Saifi Village – This district of Beirut contains many stores selling clothes, carpets and antiques.
- CD-Theque – They have excellent books on photography and culture of the Middle East.
Beirut Gay & Lesbian
- Acid – This techno club is gay friendly in a country that prohibits homosexuality.
- Milk – A gay bar located in the Saifi area close to Kataeb.
- Wolf – A nightclub for manly men with clean, original drinks.
- Bardo – Located on Hamra Street, this gay bar faces Haygazian University.
- Vice Versa – A gay club located on Ain Saade Street in Beirut.
Beirut Outdoor
- Pigeon Rocks – These anomalous, offshore rocks jut vertically out of the water and are some of the significant natural features of Beirut.

Beirut Local
As the commercial and cultural pulse point of Lebanon, Beirut unfurls a ton of districts to explore. One of the most important and influential capitals in the Middle East and Mediterranean region, the city's metropolitan area contains well over 2 million inhabitants and spans some 200 km2.
Downtown Beirut is the nerve centre of the city and a vibrant district, full of restaurants, cafés, commerce, upmarket shops and historic landmarks. Vital points of interest include Nejmeh Square, Martyr's Square, old French Mandate area and a vast network of Roman monuments, churches and mosques.
Ashrafieh is a lively hub of nightlife, restaurants and retail activity. Home to scores of young, upwardly mobile residents, the area contains the all-important artery of Gemmayze and busy Rue Monot.
Ain El Mraiseh faces the Mediterranean Sea and lines part of the city's Corniche. Home to many luxury hotels, cafés and Western restaurants.
Manara is the western tip of Beirut and a tranquil residential enclave with some decent accommodation options.
Ramlet El Baida is a residential district of note, mainly because it contains the only standout public beach in Beirut.
Verdun is a tony, trendy area of the city that hosts a wide variety of boutiques, cinemas and restaurants.
Jnah's appeal is seaside leisure and entertainment in southern Beirut, most notably in the form of beach clubs and the like.
Beirut Eat & Drink
Beirut's culinary landscape has never been in doubt. The Lebanese capital is a city that eats well, often and at any time of day or night.
Ferdinand (Mahatma Gandhi Street, Hamra) Dark, smoky and supremely chill, Ferdinand is a popular concept bar and restaurant with excellent casual fare.
Myu (Gemmayze) is one of the best of Beirut's many glam cocktail bars cum restaurants.
Al Falamanki (Damascus Road, Sodeco) is a classic shisha hangout with quality grub.
Da Giovanni (Rue Georges Haddad) serves top-drawer Italian food by any city's standard.
Kabab-ji (Bliss Street) is part of a local chain that serves addictive, no-nonsense Lebanese cuisine. Curiously strong in the kebab department.
Pacifico (Monot Street), like a lot of joints on Monot, is more about ambiance than food. Still, the Mexican mezze and cocktails go down well enough to constitute a memorable night out on the town.
Sultan Brahim (Antelias Highway, Antelias) is expensive by Beirut standards but well worth it for carefully-prepared fresh fish and seafood and dutiful, attentive service.
Mandaloun sur Mer (Downtown, Biel) charges dearly for what amounts to one of the best views in the city but hey, when on holiday, live a little. Happily, the fish is delicious.
Abdel Wahab (Abdel Wahab El Inglizi) is the place to be for staple and obscure Lebanese classics. Perpetually full but worth the wait.
La Table d'Alfred (Sursock Street, Ashrafieh) consistently cooks up the best French cuisine in a city that has more than a few Parisian bistro wannabes.
Beirut Events
The dynamic urban heart of Lebanon delivers a full slate of cultural events and festivals throughout the year, regardless of season. Pick a month, any month, and Beirut is bound to have a plethora of options for your entertainment pleasure.
Garden Show & Spring Festival takes place over four days at the Beirut Hippodrome in late May. The most important flower expo in the Middle East features scores of exhibitors from Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and throughout the Arab diaspora.
Outbox International Short Film Festival is a free multi-day, open-air event in early June that takes place at Beirut's Roman Baths.
Beirut Fashion Week proves year in and year out that the capital of Lebanon is the most fashionable city in the Arab world.
Beiteddine Art Festival is a paragon arts and culture bash held in a gorgeous, historic palace in the Chouf Mountains. The festival features an eclectic programme of events that unfurl throughout the hot Beirut summer.
Al Bustan Festival takes place every February and March and celebrates the musical heritage of a particular country or region. The 2012 edition will focus on the music of Latin America.
Beirut International Film Festival is a pinnacle event for film buffs in a country with a long, productive and significant cinematic history.
Beirut International Jazz Festival has grown tremendously in a short period of time and now draws top acts from around the world to the city every October.
Beirut Nights refers to specific events that take place every summer in the city, from concerts by the likes of Sting and Snoog Dogg, to special museum exhibits.
The Beirut International Exhibition & Leisure Center is a major city focal point for special events, conferences, exhibits, performances and the like.
Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium is the premier sports stadium in Lebanon, with a total capacity of just under 50,000 spectators.
When To Go
Beirut has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Weather-wise the city is amenable year round, despite heavy downpours that inevitably come in December, January and February. Understandably, however, the months of April and May, when temperatures hover between 59°F (15°C) and 77°F (26°C), are the most favourable and a popular tourism window.
Summer temperatures, on the other hand, range from 66°F (19°C) to 86°F (30°C), with little to no rain or cloud cover from June to mid-September.
Come winter, temperatures rarely dip below 50°F (10°C).
What To Miss
Political violence, for starters, is what to miss in Beirut. When it comes to travel to and within the city, Lebanon, and the Middle East in general, it pays to keep your eyes on the news tickers. No need to delve into a long and elaborate history and geopolitics lesson for the region either; it is no open secret that Lebanon dwells in a rough neighbourhood. When the kids play nice, all is well, but when a skirmish breaks out, visitors are often the first to get caught in the crossfire. The fact is that politics in Beirut is fraught with hostility fomented by powerful, adversarial forces and likely will be for some time. As a result, be sure to consult the travel advice section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's website for updates on Lebanon and, indeed, other destinations around the world.
Aside from regional instability, avoid the Beirut Souks commercial area (expensive and a tourist trap) and, unless you like to gamble with your life, do not drive in the city. Traffic in Beirut is stressful, chaotic and completely haphazard.
Getting Around
Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport is the primary transport hub to get in and out of Lebanon and is held in high regard. Only Dubai International, in fact, scores more points in the Middle East among industry experts. In two decades, total passenger numbers for Rafic Hariri International have shot up from 1 million to well over 5 million in 2010. The airport provides services to destinations as far-flung as Riga, Rome, Addis Ababa and Kuala Lumpur.
Visitors can enter Lebanon another way - via Syria. The two Arab states share several border junctions, through which travellers can come and go by private or rental car, coach bus or service taxi.
In Beirut proper, it pays to acquaint yourself with the somewhat complex taxi system. Essentially, it boils down to cars you flag down yourself and may or may not share with other passengers (specify your preference to the driver) or cars you call in advance. The former is decidedly less costly and predictable but with one or the other, it behooves you to ask about the fare in advance and be very specific about your final destination.
Though some tourists shy away from Beirut's bus system, it gets the job done for short haul trips and is quite inexpensive. Do not look for schedules or stops, however. Just wave your hand, look the driver square in the eyes and have faith.
General Information
If they want to keep it real, intrepid explorers must count the capital city of Lebanon as obligatory in future travel plans. Despite inordinate international coverage paid to Beirut's bouts of civil and political unrest, the "Paris of the East" is a genuine marvel. The famous nickname however, a testament to Lebanon's former mandate under France for three decades after World War I, may do Beirut more harm than good. The fact is that the city is a standalone beauty.
Beirut's good looks come from a superb peninsula location on the Mediterranean coast. Combine that with a history that dates back more than 5,000 years and the vast, modern metropolis of more than 2 million people is in very rare company on the world stage. The archaeological sites in and around the city are exquisite, with roots in Greek, Roman and Arabic culture. With myriad museums, busy beaches and a dynamic nightlife that pulsates well past dawn, Beirut is as complete a destination as you can find.
Restaurants & Nightlife
Beirut has a Mediterranean climate, with very hot summers and cool, rainy winters.
- Winter (December to February) 10-17°C
- Spring (March to May) 11-23°C
- Summer (June to September) 20-29°C
- Fall (October to November) 15-26°C

Richard J. Childress Memorial Lecture
The Childress Lecture, named in honor of former Dean Richard J. Childress (1969-1976), is a premier academic event highlighting a provocative and timely area of law. The lecture commemorates the contributions Dean Childress made academically, ethically, and socially to benefit the Saint Louis University School of Law. Among other achievements, Dean Childress is credited with founding the Saint Louis University Law Journal.
Who Counts?
November 1, 2013
John K. Pruellage Courtroom
This year's Childress Program will address generally who is to be counted as a member of the American political community. Professor Sanford V. Levinson, the W. St. John Garwood and W. St. John Garwood, Jr. Centennial Chair at the University of Texas School of Law and Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and a leading scholar of constitutional law, will address this question by examining controversies from various periods of the history of the United States to the present. Following the keynote address, two panels of leading scholars will comment on Professor Levinson's lecture, or will discuss other themes relating to who counts in American politics. This year's Childress Program is also a part of an inaugural year of events celebrating the new downtown location of the law school and the first year of the deanship of Mike Wolff, a long-time faculty member and former judge on the Missouri Supreme Court.
Statutory Interpretation
October 12, 2012
William H. Kniep Courtroom
The 2012 Childress Program focused generally on statutory interpretation and the divergent means through which statutes re interpreted in a contemporary content. Professor William Eskridge, Jr., the John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School, will address the hermeneutical difficulties embedded in positivist theories of statutory interpretation. Following the keynote address, two panels of scholars will comment on Professor Eskridge's lecture, or will discuss other themes relating to statutory interpretation. A panel of distinguished judges will also offer perspectives on the topic.
Justice Systems Circa 2011: Public Courts, Military Commissions and Aggregate Processing
November 11, 2011
William H. Kniep Courtroom
The 2011 Childress program focuses on contemporary issues relating to "Justice Systems Circa 2011: Public Courts, Military Commissions and Aggregate Processing." Professor Judith Resnik of the Yale Law School will draw from themes presented in her recent book, co-authored with Dennis Curtis, Representing Justice: Invention, Controversy, and Rights in City-States and Democratic Courtrooms, in delivering the keynote presentation, "Invention and Challenges in Democratic Courts." Following commentaries on Professor Resnik's book by leading scholars, additional panels will present perspectives of prominent scholars, practitioners and jurists on "Military Commissions: From Ex Parte Quirin to Guantanamo Bay" and "Aggregate Processing: Wal-Mart, A.T. & T. and Aggregate Settlements and the 2009 ALI Principles."

Bluejays' Women's Soccer Takes Down North Dakota, 6-0
OMAHA, Neb. - Keyed by five second-half goals, the Creighton women's soccer team blasted North Dakota, 6-0, on Friday, Aug. 30.
The Jays earned their first victory of 2013 in the team's home opener, moving to 1-2-0. The loss dropped North Dakota to 0-3-0.
The Bluejays got on the board at the 12:36 mark as sophomore Kirstyn Corder stripped the ball from a North Dakota defender and fired it into the back of the net from 20 yards away.
Despite outshooting North Dakota 15-4 in the opening period, the Jays were unable to add to their 1-0 for the remainder of the first period.
Early in the second period, Creighton's second goal seemed to open the floodgates. Sophomore Alyssa Jara fielded a pass from fellow sophomore Alissa Kohmetscher, then lofted a six-foot crossing shot past North Dakota keeper, Kristi Hestdalen to make it 2-0 at 53:00.
Just over a minute later, 54:04, senior Lauren Cingoranelli made it 3-0 with shot on the left side from 35 yards away. Freshman Lauren Sullivan fed Cingoranelli the pass to create her open look.
Sullivan liked the assist so much, so tried her foot at a goal, connecting for an unassisted tally at 63:52.
Freshman Paige Jarsombeck notched the Jays' final two goals of the season at 68:19 from freshman Ylenia Sachau, then at 89:52 from junior Stephanie Anasi.
Creighton returns to the pitch on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. against Northern Colorado. Originally scheduled for 3 p.m., the match was moved back to 5 p.m. due to excessive heat forecast for the Omaha area.
NOTES:The Bluejays six goals is the most Creighton has scored since putting in a 6-2 win over Wyoming on Sept. 17, 2010 ... The last time the Jays scored more than six goals was in a 7-0 win over Southern Utah on Oct. 18, 2010 ... Creighton's 37 shots are the most since the Bluejays fired off 38 against Grambling State on Sept. 23, 2005 (a 4-0 win).

NJP stands for non-judicial punishment and it is a way for a commander to assess smaller than court-martial penalties against a Sailor. We call it either Captain's Mast or Admiral's Mast in the Navy depending on the rank of the senior presiding over the action. And apparently, seven members of SEAL Team 6 went through NJP proceedings for assisting in the development of a video game:
Seven members of the secretive Navy SEAL Team 6, including one involved in the Usama bin Laden raid, have been punished for allegedly disclosing classified information, two senior military officials tell Fox News.
They were accused for their role working as paid consultants for a video game company producing "Medal of Honor: Warfighter." The official says four other SEALs are under investigation for similar alleged disclosures, but are still on active duty.
The seven received what the military calls "nonjudicial" punishment on Wednesday. They were given letters of reprimand, which is often, but not exclusively, a career ending punishment — it depends on the commander's discretion and whether or not he chooses to make it part of the offender's permanent service record. In addition, the seven SEALs were made to forfeit half their pay for two months.
The deputy commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Garry Bonelli, issued a statement acknowledging that nonjudicial punishments had been handed out for misconduct, but he did not offer any details.
Okay, so someone is not reporting the news right. Seven were punished, but they were already out of the Navy? And four are about to be punished, but they are active-duty? If you are retired or have left active-duty, an NJP means nothing to you. I think the writer of this article mixed up the four and the seven. The active-duty guys were NJP'd. I am not sure what exactly they do to retirees or Sailors who have left the Navy traitorously early. (For all those who have served, I am only kidding with the traitor label. Thanks for your service. We need service-members who do four year hitches. Not everyone should do twenty. We would have no room for everyone to serve. And we would be very top-heavy.)
