About ALA
The American Library Association (ALA) is the oldest and largest library association in the world, providing association information, news, events, and advocacy resources for members, librarians, and library users.
Founded on October 6, 1876 during the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, the mission of ALA is to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.
Key Action Areas
In 1998 the ALA Council voted commitment to five Key Action Areas as guiding principles for directing the Association's energies and resources: Diversity, Equity of Access, Education and Continuous Learning, Intellectual Freedom, and 21st Century Literacy. With the development of a series of strategic plans, beginning with ALA Goal 2000, ALAction2005 and ALA Ahead to 2010, these principles have expanded to eight Key Action Areas which are supplemented by ALA2015, the Association's current strategic plan.
The association actively works to increase public awareness of the crucial value of libraries and librarians, to promote state and national legislation beneficial to libraries and library users, and to supply the resources, training and support networks needed by local advocates seeking to increase support for libraries of all types.
Diversity is a fundamental value of the association and its members, and is reflected in its commitment to recruiting people of color and people with disabilities to the profession and to the promotion and development of library collections and services for all people.
The association provides opportunities for the professional development and education of all library staff members and trustees; it promotes continuous, lifelong learning for all people through library and information services of every type.
The Association advocates funding and policies that support libraries as great democratic institutions, serving people of every age, income level, location, ethnicity, or physical ability, and providing the full range of information resources needed to live, learn, govern, and work.
Intellectual freedom is a basic right in a democratic society and a core value of the library profession. The American Library Association actively defends the right of library users to read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by the First Amendment.
The American Library Association assists and promotes libraries in helping children and adults develop the skills they need-the ability to read and use computers-understanding that the ability to seek and effectively utilize information resources is essential in a global information society.
The association is inclusive, effective and responsive to the needs of ALA members.
ALA provides leadership in the transformation of libraries and library services in a dynamic and increasingly global digital information environment.
Strategic Plan
Guided by our Key Action Areas, our current strategic plan, ALA2015, identifies five goals for the association which move us toward our envisioned future: a world where libraries, both physical and virtual, are central to lifelong discovery and learning and where everyone is a library user.
ALA is currently in the process of articulating the Association's strategic direction for the next three to five years. Building on the Key Action Areas, three strategic initiatives have been identified as priority areas of focus for the Association: Advocacy, Information Policy and Professional and Leadership Development.
Intensive planning is currently underway in each of these areas, and a series of face to face and online forums and conversations are scheduled for the fall, winter and spring. These forums and conversations are designed to provide members with an opportunity to shape our vision and the future of our work in these key areas. For information on the strategic planning process, forums and conversations, see ALA Strategic Planning.
ALA's activities are shaped and guided by a series of governing documents. The Association's first official document was the Charter of 1879, which was revised in 1942. ALA's Constitution and Bylaws are approved by the ALA Council and voted by the membership. The ALA Council also adopts the Association's Policies.
ALA Council is the governing body of ALA. Council determines all policies of the Association and its decisions are binding unless set aside by a majority vote by mail in which one-fourth of the members of the Association have voted.
ALA Executive Board acts for Council in the administration of established policies and programs and is the body that manages within this context the affairs of the Association, delegating management of day-to-day operation to the Association's executive director.The Executive Board makes recommendations with respect to policy and operation.
ALA president is to be the Association's chief spokesperson and to work closely with the ALA's Executive Director in identifying and promoting library issues nationwide and internationally. The ALA President is recognized as the Association's leader by its members.

WOONSOCKET -- Back on Friday, Sept. 14, Tolman High senior Ashley Clark registered five goals in a rather easy 9-1 thumping of Woonsocket at the McKinnon-Alves Complex.
She failed in her attempt to repeat that feat during the two teamsŌĆÖ Division III-A rematch at Barry Field on rainy Wednesday afternoon.
Still, head coach Bel Pereira didnŌĆÖt mind a bit; why would he? Clark netted four tallies and senior defender Amber Duhamel did a superb job of defending the Villa NovansŌĆÖ stellar senior quad-captain and striker Krislyn Godin in the TigersŌĆÖ 6-2 triumph.
ŌĆ£AshleyŌĆÖs a very good player; sheŌĆÖs got outstanding speed and is just a great athlete,ŌĆØ Pereira stated after his squad moved to 5-6 overall and in league play. ŌĆ£She beats most defenders to the ball and is really aggressive in doing so.
ŌĆ£She had five against Woonsocket the last time, and now four here,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£She just has a penchant for finding the net. ThatŌĆÖs why she leads our team in scoring (with 12) ŌĆ" The conditions were horrible with the rain coming down so hard; girls from both teams were sliding all over the place.
ŌĆ£But I thought we were pretty solid in the midfield, and that (junior) Maria Vergara did a good job of clearing. Woonsocket is a very fast team. ItŌĆÖs quick to the ball, and you have to be aware of that at all times.ŌĆØ
Clark didnŌĆÖt need long to net her first. In the third minute, she poked a shot at junior keeper Carmen Giambra, who made the save, but Clark pounced on the rebound and whacked it home.
Five minutes later, senior forward Nicole Bedoya fed a nice through ball to Clark on the left side, and the latter dribbled twice and ripped a 15-yard grounder past Giambra for the 2-0 lead.
It looked as if the Villa Novans would slice the deficit in half about 18 minutes in; thatŌĆÖs when Godin tracked down a pass, hustled in from the right, beat a defender and drove an attempt at senior goalie Shelby Hofknecht, though the shot bounced just past the right post.
Just three minutes after, Godin dribbled in from the left, shifted right and ripped a grounder at the net, but Hofknecht corralled the save.
ŌĆ£It was part of our plan once the game started for Amber Duhamel to stay on (Godin),ŌĆØ Pereira noted. ŌĆ£That girl can fly, and she has great ball skills with a tremendous shot. I told her she needed to be marking her at all times. The girl is dangerous.ŌĆØ
At the approximate 26th minute, TolmanŌĆÖs Deandra Flynn rambled deep down the right side and drilled an impossible shot at Giambra, but it caromed off the right post and away from harm.
And, with less than five minutes to play before the break, Godin received a pass on the left, raced in and tried to punch the ball past Hofknecht, but the netminder made a superb sliding save.
ThatŌĆÖs why the half ended with the Tigers up, 2-0, and with an 8-4 shot-on-goal advantage.
Bedoya produced a terrific try three minutes into the final stanza, but Giambra made the save. A minute later, she wasnŌĆÖt as fortunate, as Bedoya pushed a pass at Clark, whose chip shot drifted over the goalieŌĆÖs head and under the crossbar for the 3-0 lead.
Immediately, Woonsocket went on the offensive, and it paid off, as Godin juked a defender racing down the right side. When Hofknecht came out to cut down the angle, Godin made a stellar move outside and fired a grounder into the open net.
The ŌĆśNovans (who fell to 0-11-1) seemingly had cut the deficit to 3-2 in the 18th minute. Godin accepted a long pass from freshman Abigail Blais, hustled in and drove an eight-yarder at Hofknecht, who made the save.
In the 22nd minute, the tide turned, as Flynn ŌĆō who had taken a feed from sophomore Suzette Hernandez ŌĆō lofted a high liner off GiambraŌĆÖs hands and inside the goal for the 4-1 advantage.
Yet again, however, Godin responded. She raced down the right side from beyond the midfield stripe and slid a goal past Hofknecht and inside the right post to cut it to 4-2 in the 25th minute.
But Clark netted her fourth on a pass from sophomore McKenzie Hofknecht (the keeperŌĆÖs kid sister) in the 31st minute, and Hernandez closed the scoring with four minutes left in regulation.
The elder Hofknecht finished with nine saves for the Tigers, while Giambra made 11 in the losing cause.
ŌĆ£I thought we played pretty well, given the rain and the mud,ŌĆØ Pereira stated. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not worried about a playoff berth. The way (the R.I. Interscholastic League) set it up is that every team in III-A will qualify (for post-season), with the top four teams in III-B also making it.
ŌĆ£We have to work on some things, but weŌĆÖre doing alright,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£Woonsocket had some chances that worried me, but every time they scored, weŌĆÖd come down and extend the lead. ItŌĆÖs a win, and weŌĆÖll take it.ŌĆØ

Actor Robin Williams found dead in apparent suicide
Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams was found dead on Monday from an apparent suicide at his home in Northern California, Marin County Sheriff's Office said. He was 63.
The sheriff's coroner's division said it suspects the death was a suicide due to asphyxia, but the cause of death is still under investigation.
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," Williams's wife Susan Schneider said in a statement.
Williams, who won an Academy Award for his role as a fatherly therapist in 1997's "Good Will Hunting," had been suffering from severe depression recently, his publicist Mara Buxbaum said.
Williams, who introduced his frenetic style on late 1970s TV series "Mork & Mindy" and had struggled with addiction in the past, had entered a Minnesota rehabilitation center last month to help him maintain sobriety.
His representatives at the time said Williams was not using drugs or alcohol but had gone to the center to "fine-tune and focus" his sobriety after working a longer-than-usual schedule.
The Marin County Sheriff's office said it received an emergency call about noon local time on Monday, saying that Williams was unconscious and not breathing at his home near Tiburon, north of San Francisco.
Fellow comedic actor Steve Martin said in a tweet: "I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul."

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) – Corporate earnings are on track to grow at a lukewarm pace in the fourth quarter, but don't expect that to stop the stock markets from extending recent gains, even though they're at five-year highs.
One reason is that S&P 500 companies did even worse when they reported last quarter and another is that the coming year is bringing hope for robust growth in the second half.
Roughly 2½ weeks into the reporting season, earnings are growing in the expected range of 2% to 3% thanks largely to gains in the financial and materials sectors, according to FactSet and Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Plus, two-thirds of the companies beat expectations, roughly the average for the last year. The numbers are fitting in with analyst expectations.
Is Apple a value investor's dream?
With Apple's share price nearing 52-week lows, growth-minded investors are selling to value investors, who are drawn to the stock's valuation and potential for a dividend hike. MarketWatch's Laura Mandaro and Jonathan Burton discuss. (Photo: Getty)
But earnings growth during the third calendar quarter of 2012 was near zero — negative according to one estimate — and that number could surge into the double digits as early as the third quarter of 2013, analysts say. There's still some money to be made, says Gregory Harrison, analyst for Thomson Reuters.
"The market has been at low valuations for quite a while now," he said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both are trading at five-year highs. The Dow is up 6% since Jan. 1 while the S&P has gained 5% and closed Friday above 1,500. The Nasdaq Composite Index, meanwhile, isn't even trading at a one-year high, but still has climbed 4% thus far this year.
Thomson Reuters says that as of Friday, earnings growth stood at 2.9% for the 147 S&P companies that had reported up to that point. A total of 68% beat earnings estimates. The numbers are nearly the same on revenue, as 65% of companies beat sales estimates for a growth rate of 2.3%.
The numbers were roughly the same for FactSet, which had fewer companies that it had processed but showed an earnings growth rate of 2.3% nonetheless. That was up from last week's rate, which showed earnings growing at a paltry 1.9%.
While that seems like nothing to write home about, FactSet analyst John Butters says a little perspective may be in order.
"These are record profits on top of record profits," he said.
Butters calculates that earnings actually dropped by roughly 1% when the third quarter's results were reported, partially due to difficult comparisons with earlier quarters. Harrison estimates that earnings ticked up marginally, by 0.8% during that time.
As earnings seasons progress throughout 2013, rapid improvement is seen by both. Similar earnings growth rates are expected for the first calendar quarter, but that may well rapidly change during the second quarter, the analysts say.
Butters sees a 6.6% gain while Harrison estimates 7.7% increase for the second quarter. For the third quarter, both expect earnings growth to cross the double-digit mark at slightly more than 10%. In the final quarter, Butters expects an increase of more than 18% while Harrison sees it at just over 17%.
"It's typical for analysts to be more optimistic the farther out they're projecting, but they still see improvement," Harrison said.

While the WTO has not yet made a breakthrough on the issue of patent-free HIV drugs for developing economies, something must be done to alleviate the human and economic cost of the HIV epidemic. Western pharma companies will inevitably lose out - the only question is how well their profit maintenance strategies can cushion the blow.
As part of its ongoing attempts to penetrate the emerging markets, GlaxoSmithKline has signed an innovative pneumococcal vaccines deal in Brazil, which also includes a technology transfer and R&D investment. As well as boosting the pharma giant's volume in this rapidly growing and commercially attractive market, the deal is expected to increase access to vaccines in the country.
GlaxoSmithKline's fifth round of price cuts since 1997 includes 14 HIV drugs reduced by an average of 21%. The biggest reduction is a 40% cut in the price of Ziagen, a first and second line AIDS treatment. With the use of compulsory licenses becoming more frequent among developing countries, GSK will hope that such price cuts appease governments and prevent their patents being bypassed.
Brazil's government will bypass Merck's patent on HIV drug Sustiva in order to manufacture this best-selling NNRTI as a lower-priced generic. Although this will increase therapy-access for many HIV/AIDS patients, it will intensify concerns over parallel imports into Western markets, according to Datamonitor's HIV analyst Lisette Oversteegen.
Relying on its reputation as a world leader in HIV/AIDS drug pricing negotiations, Brazil is threatening to disregard patents unless Abbott Laboratories, Gilead Sciences and Merck & Co. allow it to produce generic versions of their four leading AIDS drugs. Datamonitor's Mar Ferrero investigates the likely ramifications of such a move...

42 U.S. Code § 13931 - Grants for capital improvements to prevent crime in public transportation
prev | next
(a) General purpose
There is authorized to be appropriated not to exceed $10,000,000, for the Secretary of Transportation (referred to in this section as the "Secretary") to make capital grants for the prevention of crime and to increase security in existing and future public transportation systems. None of the provisions of this Act may be construed to prohibit the financing of projects under this section where law enforcement responsibilities are vested in a local public body other than the grant applicant.
(b) Grants for lighting, camera surveillance, and security phones
(1) From the sums authorized for expenditure under this section for crime prevention, the Secretary is authorized to make grants and loans to States and local public bodies or agencies for the purpose of increasing the safety of public transportation by—
(A) increasing lighting within or adjacent to public transportation systems, including bus stops, subway stations, parking lots, or garages;
(B) increasing camera surveillance of areas within and adjacent to public transportation systems, including bus stops, subway stations, parking lots, or garages;
(C) providing emergency phone lines to contact law enforcement or security personnel in areas within or adjacent to public transportation systems, including bus stops, subway stations, parking lots, or garages; or
(c) Reporting
All grants under this section are contingent upon the filing of a report with the Secretary and the Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Crime, showing crime rates in or adjacent to public transportation before, and for a 1-year period after, the capital improvement. Statistics shall be compiled on the basis of the type of crime, sex, race, ethnicity, language, and relationship of victim to the offender.
(d) Increased Federal share
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal share under this section for each capital improvement project that enhances the safety and security of public transportation systems and that is not required by law (including any other provision of this Act) shall be 90 percent of the net project cost of the project.
(e) Special grants for projects to study increasing security for women
From the sums authorized under this section, the Secretary shall provide grants and loans for the purpose of studying ways to reduce violent crimes against women in public transit through better design or operation of public transit systems.

PAWTUCKET – A doubleheader split was the best St. Raphael and Woonsocket could hope for when the two squads faced each other after dropping their respective 11 a.m. contests on Monday morning.
With the scheduled 2:30 p.m. night cap at Vets Park carrying limited playoff ramifications, both teams hoped to finish their busy day on the diamond with a .500 record. That honor went to St. Raphael by virtue of a 6-5 triumph over Woonsocket.
The Saints conclude the regular season with an 8-10 mark in Division I-North while the Villa Novans stand at 5-13. SRA will be the sixth seed from the North when the curtain goes up on the state playoffs this Saturday. The Novans are also postseason qualifiers despite losing eight straight league games to finish at 5-13. Despite the recent slide, head coach John Marsella's contingent was able to obtain the eighth and final North Division playoff spot.
"A new season starts," smiled Marsella. "If we play up to our potential, we can compete."
Marsella's optimism stems from a close inspection of his Novans and how they've arrived at this point. Counting Monday's doubleheader – the day began with a 8-6 loss to defending state champs Bishop Hendricken at Barry Field – Woonsocket has dropped three games decided by one run, and lost two more decided by two runs, in just the past nine days.
Woonsocket's defense has been the culprit in many of these close defeats. Against Hendricken, three errors directly resulted in three runs. Troubles with the glove extended to the St. Raphael contest – in the fourth inning with the game tied at 4, a Woonsocket throwing error led to two runs for the Saints, which later proved decisive.
Taking advantage of Woonsocket's misfortunes was SRA's specialty on Monday. The home team made the Novans pay for a first-inning error as Ben Roy doubled in a run with Nick Sisto later adding a run-scoring safety.
The Novans' difficulties with fundamentals extended to the base paths as well, with one runner erased at first base courtesy of a Zach Mittsmenn pickoff for the first out in the fifth.
An inning later saw yet another potential game-tying bid by Woonsocket go up in smoke. After walking and stealing second, junior John Flynn was caught straying a little too far away from the bag. Stepping calmly off the mound, Mittsmenn started a 1-4-5 sequence that removed Flynn from the bases.
The Villa Novans did threaten in the seventh as Flynn reached on a walk with one down. After another out, Josh Mousseau singled, moving Flynn to second. But on his 110th and final pitch of the day, Mittsmenn induced a grounder to shortstop that allowed everyone on SRA's bench to exhale.
The Saints trailed 4-2 heading into the bottom of the third after the Villa Novans sprung for a three-spot in the top of the frame. Flynn produced one run with a single with Elijah Brackett responsible for another run after getting hit by a Mittsmenn offering with the bases loaded.
Woonsocket's lead would not last long. Back-to-back singles by the Saints brought up Dylan Boisclair, who lofted a deep drive to left-center. Boisclair cruised into third base with a two-run triple.
Mittsmenn gave the Saints everything he had on the mound on his way to tossing a complete game that featured eight strikeouts, six walks and one hit batter. His counterpart, Woonsocket's Miguel Raymond, worked six innings before turning over the pitching duties to Brandon Rainville in the seventh.
Speaking of Mittsmenn, he finished the day with four hits and four runs. Tom Calabro went 3-for-3 against Cranston West while Sisto had two hits and two RBI against Woonsocket.
"We're playing pretty good defense and our pitchers are keeping us in the game," noted SRA head coach Tom "Saar" Sorrentine. "Our big thing is that we've got to hit the ball. We've got some guys who are getting there which is good because we're going to see good pitching in the playoffs."

Emergency crews scrambled to the 400 East and 400 South railroad crossing at 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning after a report came in that an eastbound Union Pacific train hit a pedestrian.
The situation was confirmed when the crews arrived and found a body under a train car a couple of hundred yards behind the engines.
The train, which stopped after the incident, was blocking traffic across all the intersections from Carbon Avenue to 400 East for some time as the Price Police and the Carbon County Sheriff's office investigated the accident.

The young mother defended her actions today on "Good Morning America," saying she tried to wax her daughter's unibrow after "people just kept commenting" about it.
"If I could help my daughter in a little way by just plucking a few hairs, I think I did something right" Farrah says, clearly standing by her controversial decision.

Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Roasted Tomatoes
(Makes six generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn on a March day when it was cold outside and she didn't want to leave the house to buy groceries.)
1 pkg. (5 links) turkey Italian sausage (I like hot, but you can use mild sausage if you prefer)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. ground fennel
1 T crushed garlic
1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup slow roasted tomatoes, finely chopped
(if you don't have roasted tomatoes, use another can of petite diced tomatoes with juice)
1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans (chickpeas) mashed slightly
(Can also use 1 1/2 cups freshly cooked garbanzos)
1/2 cup brown lentils
4 cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth
(two 14 oz. cans, plus a little water equals 4 cups)
4 cups water
3 T fresh chopped basil (you can also use frozen basil, the basil is probably optional but it does add a lot of good flavor)
While sausage roasts, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in heavy soup pot and saute onions about 5 minutes, until softened and starting to color. Add oregano, fennel, and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes more. Add roasted tomatoes, diced canned tomatoes, chicken stock, water, garbanzo beans, and lentils. Simmer 40-60 minutes, until lentils are soft and starting to slightly break apart.
Add sliced sausage to soup. Deglaze roasting pan with 1 cup water, scraping off all browned bits on the bottom of pan, and add to soup. Simmer 20-30 minutes more. Stir in fresh or frozen basil (if using) and cook 2-3 minutes more. Serve hot.
South Beach Suggestions:
Using turkey Italian sausage, this soup would be a perfect meal for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Beans are a limited food for Phase One, so if you're doing Phase One I'd have a small bowl of soup with a nice green salad on the side. For phase two or three, you could add 100% whole wheat bread or toasted pita bread.

On March 9, her 90th birthday, Katie Ori received an unexpected visit from the Helper City Fire Department. By escorting Ori from her home to her birthday party at the Carbon Country Club, the firefighters gave her a special thanks for the support and contributions she has given to the department over the years living in the community.
Fire Chief Mike Zamantakis said that the department appreciates her so much that they just had to do something to honor her. So they thanked her, loaded her into a fire engine and gave her an escort to her party.
Ori actively supports her hometown by attending activities in the community. Crowned as one of the first queens of Helper City's Electric Light Parade, she hasn't missed one yet. As the years have worn on, Ori has missed a few community activities, but gets to those she can.
Until recently, residents in Helper saw Ori taking her daily walks in the community. On her way, she picked up trash and weeds littering the ground. As a proud member of her community, she always wanted Helper to be clean and did her best to help keep it that way.
She always puts others before herself and helps anyone she knows.
Ori was born in 1915 to Bernardo and Antionette Bianco. Her father was killed in an accident with a horse in 1917. After her mother remarried in 1920, the family moved to Helper in 1922.
As a 13-year-old, she began working to help support her two brothers and three sisters, while her stepfather worked in the mines and her mother ran a boardinghouse.
In 1936, she married Geno Ori, and she continued working in Helper through the '50s.
Over the years they lived in the nearby communities of Peerless, Sweets and Latuda. However, Helper always remained home. The couple had two sons, Geno Jr, and Jack; 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, but all who know her love her dearly and consider her family.

|Polarity in the Birth Chart
Polarity emerges out of the original unity in what is called the 'primal schism', or the 'separation of the world parents'. The creation myths of almost every culture describe the first division out of the primordial ocean, or chaos, which creates by dividing itself, in the same way that a living cell divides and becomes two. Everything in time and space is governed by the opposites and swings between them. Opposites both repel and attract each other: they are fundamentally united because they share the same source, which is the original unity. Even our language reflects this split, with many words beginning with the prefix 'di-' describing the separation of something which has previously been whole, or one. For example: di-vide, di-scern, di-sect, di-stinguish, di-vorce, di-chotomy, and so on.
The 'problem of opposites' has always been a subject of fascination in many different fields of study, such as mysticism, philosophy, mathematics, science and psychology. The Gurdjieff scholar Maurice Nicoll observes: "Opposites are inseparable, and although one is against the other, you cannot have one without the other, any more than you can have a stick with only one end." [35] In other words, darkness implies light and light darkness. They are mutually destructive and yet neither can exist without the other. The law of opposites keeps everything in balance since, taken to extremes, they become one another. For example, taken to extremes, east becomes west, day becomes night, love becomes hate, attraction becomes repulsion.
In psychology, the law of opposites helps us to understand how people process information and function in the world. The psychotherapist Martin Buber described his experience of polarity as follows:
This same idea is found in psychosynthesis: "People identified with one pole may be rich in the quality of the opposite one but repress it, and consciously devalue it."[37]
Polarity as the basis of psychological projection
The psychic mechanism of projection is one of the most important ideas in psychology and in psychological astrology. This means that whenever we identify consciously with one end of a polarity, the opposite end will become unconscious and be projected onto other people or onto the world, from where it will operate in a compensatory fashion. In other words, we will be constantly confronted by our unknown opposites, not realising that they belong to us. Whenever we are attracted toward a desired object, or repelled away from a hated object we are caught up in the drama of the opposites. As Jung observed, what we cannot accept about ourselves comes back to us as fate. Astrologically, this duality is found alternately in the twelve signs of the zodiac, six of which are positive, masculine or yang, and six of which are negative, feminine, or yin in their orientation. Each of the signs, therefore, reflects the fundamental polarities which exist within the manifest world and within the individual. This is also the core meaning of the astrological aspect of the opposition.
The positive or, in Chinese philosophy, yang principle describes motion from a centre outwards. A yang orientation is a driving energy, forceful, active, impulsive and dominant. It creates and destroys. The positive signs describe object-oriented, sociable people who are not afraid to jump into unknown situations. The negative or yin principle is subject-oriented, receptive, yielding, enclosing, withdrawing and inward-moving. The yin individual 'is characterised by a reflective nature which causes him always to think and consider before acting. His shyness and distrust of things induces hesitation, and so he always has difficulty in adapting to the external world.' [38] Jung recognised the inherent polarity within the human psyche as 'extraversion' and 'introversion', terms which are now so widely recognised that they become part of our ordinary vocabulary. As Whitmont[39] observes, the introvert has object fear, instinctively pulling away from the external world. The extravert, on the other hand, has subject fear, undervaluing and mistrusting his inner world.
Now let's have a look at your own birth charts. It will be interesting and revealing to discover who are the extroverts here and who are the introverts.
Audience: How do you find out?
Clare: First, identify the seven planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and count how many fall in positive signs and how many fall in negative signs. For the purposes of this exercise, ignore the positions of the outer planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - as well as the Moon's Node and Chiron, for two reasons. Firstly, although these points provide information about the collective and generational background into which we are born, they won't tell us anything about our own uniquely personal orientation. Secondly, they each describe a particular kind of challenge or struggle, and should not therefore be considered as plus points in terms of assessing polarity balance.
Have a look at our two example charts. You can see that David has four planets points in positive signs (Sun and Jupiter in Aries, Mars in Leo and Saturn in Aquarius) and three planets in negative signs (Mercury in Taurus, Moon in Capricorn and Venus in Pisces). Sally, on the other hand, has five planets in positive signs (Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Leo, Mercury, Sun and Venus in Aquarius) and only two in negative signs (Mars in Cancer, and Moon in Pisces). This tells us that David has a good balance between positive and negative, masculine and feminine. He has the potential to consciously integrate both poles within himself and the ability to move gracefully and rhythmically between opposites. Sally has a more outward-going, extravert nature, which means that she is naturally object-oriented, and will derive her meaning and sense of purpose from actively engaging with the outside world. The question is whether she is actually living this out in her life. Although her birth chart tells us one thing, her parental and social conditioning may have led her to suppress this aspect of her nature.
Audience: So although her chart is yang in nature she may not be living this out in her life?
Clare: That's right, and this is a good example of how astrology can help us to become more who we really are in essence. It is perfectly possible that Sally has received many messages in her life that she should hold back, be more 'feminine', sensitive and accommodating, and she may well have adapted herself to the expectations of others, which is something we all do to some extent. Once she learns that her birth chart shows a natural positive orientation, then she can start to give herself permission to become more who she is in essence, which can feel like a powerful release.
But the law of opposites is never that straightforward because, as Sally develops her natural yang orientation, the opposite end of the spectrum is likely to become unconscious and be projected onto other people or onto the world. This means that she will find herself in situations where she is required to reflect and withdraw and to put the needs of others first. From a conscious yang standpoint, this can be extremely frustrating, but it is simply an example of the way that psychic opposites both challenge and complete each other. So we could say that, as Sally develops her natural yang orientation, it is important that she doesn't lose touch with, or project onto others, her own much more sensitive Mars and Moon, which are in negative signs.
Audience: I have a count of four positive and three negative signs.
Clare: Most of us will have a relatively equal balance of planets in the positive and negative signs. This tells us that, on this level at least, there is nothing that needs to be particularly noted when we are preparing to interpret a chart. There is a potential balance between the opposite orientations.
Has anyone found a marked emphasis? Who is significantly 'yin' in orientation? This will be the case if you have at least two more points in negative signs than in positive signs. So there are four of you who are significantly yin. Now that you have discovered this, it could well be quite a relief. This gives you permission to be more introverted, to pay attention to your own inner world, to stay at home and read a book, listen to music, write your journal or watch a film, rather than force yourself to go out to a party or feel guilty because you are not involved in any political or social causes.
Audience [male]: I have five planets in negative signs and two in positive signs. I have never really thought of myself as an introvert.
Clare: Well, perhaps this is something to think about. It can be enormously validating to discover our true personal orientation and even such a simple discovery as this, right at the beginning of our astrological studies, can give us permission to become more 'who we are in essence', rather than to try and distort ourselves into being what others, or what society expects us to be.
Audience [female]: In my chart Mars is the only planet in a positive sign, and I think that's what people see - my Mars. But actually I am very 'yin' by nature.
Clare: This sounds like a good example of projection. Your natural orientation is private and introverted, but it seems that you meet your own Mars in projection, in the form of other people or in your dealings with the outside world, such as in your career and in other outer challenges. My suggestion is that it would be worth getting to know your Mars a bit better, so that it can serve you, help you achieve your goals and to assert and defend yourself if necessary, rather than simply meeting it 'out there'.
Audience: So people who are mostly introverted attract extraverts, and people who are mostly extraverted attract introverts? What you don't have inside, you attract from the outside world?
Clare: Exactly. What we have in our birth charts is already ours - we live with it all the time, we know it and it belongs to us. We don't need to attract any more of it from the outside world because we have enough of our own. Another way of saying this is that the polarity which is lacking or absent in our birth charts is unknown to our conscious minds or is missing from our social adaptation, and is therefore projected onto others who express that particular polarity strongly. This is why opposites both attract and repel us in equal measure.
Audience [female]: I have six planets in yang signs.
Clare: So this means that you naturally draw your meaning and energy from the outside world, from your activities and achievements in the world, and from your involvement with the community at large.
Audience: That's true, but I always find myself being challenged, which makes me very uncomfortable because I don't like to be seen as the dominant female in a room. I get very angry with myself, because I don't like being seen to be aggressive - it makes me feel like a man. And I have difficulty finding a man who is strong enough for me.
Clare: It is interesting that you have used the words 'challenge', 'dominant', 'aggressive', 'angry' and 'strong' - which are all very yang words, describing a competitive, masculine orientation. It is not uncommon for women with predominantly yang charts to feel uncomfortable about being too powerful, or to be concerned about finding a partner who is strong enough for them. Your capacity to function effectively in the world and to stand up for yourself is not in doubt. Your major underlying concern, however, seems to be driven by the opposite yin pole, because it is about finding a partner who will complete you, reflect you and support you. It may be that you will feel more balanced, completed and whole in a relationship with a man who is predominantly yin, and therefore not in competition with you. Do you see what I mean?
Audience: Well, it is certainly true that most of my friends are yin, and it is extraordinary how I always seem to attract these kinds of people. I can be just sitting on a bus and suddenly the person next to me is telling me their life story. And then I find myself trying to fix other people's problems. For example, if someone comes along and sobs, 'Someone has just died!' or 'I've lost my house!' then I want to fix it, and I know that this is a very masculine characteristic. What really annoys me is that they just want to wallow in it, so why are they telling me? And then I feel bad because I seem to be unkind. The other thing is that I am the eldest child in my family and my mother is very yin - flaky and frail. But actually she is a great deal stronger in reality. I have noticed that yin people often seem frail but are actually much stronger than yang people.
Clare: Yes, I think that is because, although yang people are generally very strong in the world, they haven't necessarily developed the inner resources to fall back on. Yin people, on the other hand, have a deep inner reservoir to draw from when necessary. In a crisis the yin people get very strong.
Audience: That's right. We have fallen apart but they are able to cope.
Audience: I am struggling a bit with these ideas, because if you are saying that yin attracts yang and yang attracts yin, then it seems that you are also saying that everything means everything, in which case it all becomes meaningless.
Clare: I can understand exactly what you are saying, and it is an important point. Although these differences are very powerful, they are also subtle because they define fundamentally different orientations which nevertheless complement and complete each other. It can take a while for this to fall into place, particularly if both psychological ideas and astrology are new to us. However, as our astrological knowledge develops, we meet this same idea again and again until it begins to make sense. I could have taken a different approach and presented this to you in a much simpler way. I could be describing an extravert as someone with a predominance of planets in positive signs, and an introvert as someone with a predominance of planets in negative signs. This would be much easier to grasp, but it is not the whole story and nor is it a true reflection of our experience. So I am trying to introduce you to the psychological complexity of it right at the beginning.
Astrology is the only model I have come across which sufficiently reflects the subtle complexities of the human condition, and there are times when we all have to suspend disbelief as we pick it all to pieces, until we can begin to see the whole picture, at which point we can start putting it all back together again. I don't know the answer except to say that it is worth persevering and to question all the time. Your observation is very important and I suggest that you hang on to the scepticism.
Audience: Oh, no, I won't hang on. I need to be more open-minded.

Is it time to buy a house?
EUGENE, Ore. -- The slow economy does have some silver lining.
A few years ago you might have thought of buying a house -- something to live in, maybe even a vacation place -- but they were too expensive.
Times have changed and prices have dropped.
"Two years ago if you were going to spend $200,000, your selection was limited," said Kevin Simrin with RE/Max Real Estate. "Now they're moving into nice houses for $130,000. Now people are buying houses that are ready to move into. So it's great."
It's great if you can get a loan, but you've heard the banks aren't lending.
Don't say that to a mortgage lender.
"I'm frustrated!" said Julie Smith at Precision Funding. "I want the media to tell the folks there are loans out there. There are lenders that would love to put borrowers in homes!"
The zero-down payment loans and the "you tell us how much you earn and we won't make you prove it" loans are gone. But if you have a job and decent credit, there is money out there. You can still buy for as little as 3 percent down.
Some of the biggest bargains are being found in what were once the hottest markets.
Auction buyers are now buying nice vacation homes in Bend, Ore., for as little as $160,000. | LINK

I ordered a PS4 skin from iStyles and am extremely impressed by the quality of their product. Delivery was fast considering it was coming half way across the world. Application was simple and well explained and more than anything I appreciated the little easter egg offering 20% off that they throw in when searching for what you want. All in all a great experience and great product. Will definitely be using again in future.Nathan Mortimer, United Kingdom

What We Are Looking for Against The Nets
Tommy DeeThe battle of NY happens tonight in Brooklyn and both teams are really, truly playing well. This is going to be a tough spot for the Knicks in my opinion.
Establish the Defensive Post– I've been as critical about Lopez as anyone, but he really is a very good offensive player. I still think the Knicks can rattle him if they play physically on both ends. If they can draw him away from the basket, they should have no problems on the scoring and rebounding end.
Get into the Nets Bench– The Nets like to play at a slow tempo and they've only scored +100 points 4 times this season. I think it would be wise to try and get the Nets to play small and up the tempo. The major matchup for me, Melo aside, is the pick and roll with Chandler and Felton. The Rockets and Pistons did a good job of crowding the paint, so teams are aware. The Knicks must adjust to the scouting.
Make Your FTs- Forgetting about getting the calls, you can't complain if you don't make the shots count. They did a great job yesterday, let's hope that continues.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TomL Great Rug Excellent Quality and very hot looking rug . It looks great in my living room . Nice style May 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by amamama Beautiful Rug This is a great rug. It has a lot of movement in the design, which could be too much, but we have a table in the center of it, which breakes it up nicely. We have had no problem with shedding. December 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jett Pretty thrilled with this purchase. Overall, my husband and I have wildly disparate tastes in decor. When designing a room, I try to find one or two large elements that we agree on and then build around that so that he feels like a part of the space. We saw this rug a couple of years ago in-store and both fell in love with it because of the unique and striking pattern. After we got our floors refinished and it was time to rug shop, I went straight for this one. I would have purchased it at full price (even then it's a bargain), but the timing turned out to be quite lucky for us, because I got it on sale and with free shipping. It's an amazing anchor for the room, and because of the variety of colors in this pattern, we can change out other elements over time and still have a wide palette to choose from. It shed a tiny bit at first, but that is to be expected with any wool rug, and it wasn't extreme. November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caitlyn Not as bright as the pictures, but pretty nonetheless! I was hoping it would be as bright as the photos, but it wasn't. It's more earthy and homey. There are a few of the hooks that have come untucked with the first vaccuum, hopefully it doesn't unravel completely!! It's a great rug, plush, soft, great value on sale. I'd buy it again, even with the 2 disappointments. October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jarannie beautiful I've been looking at this rug for a while but wasn't sure about the swirl in the pattern. Didn't love the swirel, but it is very subtle, easy to miss. The picture on the web as other reviewers have described is not at all what this rug actually looks like. I saw this rug in person, which is why I fell in love with the colors. It is most definitely a beautiful neutral rug; looks great with my shades of brown furnishings. Very earthy with sage green, smoky blue, cream, chocolate, silver blue, burnt orange, tan, and red-brown. I have noticed that a few loops after a couple Roomba sessions over it, have come undone, mostly around the edges. I've had a wool rug from Pottery Barn, and after 5 or so years it was shredding at every corner. I was leary of ordering another wool rug. I sure hope this one holds up. But I really am in love with it so far. 2 guests in one week have commented on how beautiful it is. October 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kendra I love ths rug! It's thick and heavy so I think it will hold up in a house full teens and furry children. The colors are much more subtle than the web photo would lead to think, very earthy. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in the store. It is more pricey than I would normally spend on a rug even after the sale discount but it's worth it! March 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cezzium Stunning I have been watching this rug for I cannot remember how long... Then amazingly WM offered a super discount for their anniversary. I snapped up this wonderful rug immediately. It is just gorgeous. The picture cannot even come a fraction of the way towards showing the depth of the color and the rich sheen from the wool fibers. The rug is thick and heavy and so plush. I love it so much and its only been a few days. January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Augusta61 I LOVE IT!! I really LOVE this rug. It has so many colors that it can go just about anywhere. It is very thick and plush feeling and looks and feels way more expensive than it was, plus it doesn't show dirt or wear easily. Having a 10 year-old son and two big dogs means lots of tracking and the rug is holding up nicely. I only wish I had ordered thew larger size! November 12, 2013

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, joined Democratic and Republican members of the No Labels Congressional Problem Solvers Thursday in unveiling a package of legislation that members of the group say will make government more efficient.
Working together on this legislative package has shown us that we arent as divided as people think, Mr. Owens said in a news release. All of us want an efficient government, and we know that can only happen when Members of Congress start working together.
The No Labels group, made up of 43 Democratic, one independent and 37 Republican lawmakers from both houses, put forward nine policy recommendations, seven of which Mr. Owens cosponsored.
The government efficiency package is the groups first legislative initiative, according to the release.
The seven bills cosponsored by Mr. Owens are:
n A bill that would prevent lawmakers from receiving their paychecks until after they pass a budget and all annual spending bills. H.R. 310 and S. 124: No Budget, No Pay.
n A bill that would implement the Government Accountability Offices 2013 recommendations for the elimination of duplicate government agencies and programs. H.R. 2506 and S. 1233: Dont Duplicate, Consolidate.
n A bill that would stop assuming automatic year-to-year spending increases in agency budgets. H.R. 2686: No Adding, No Padding.
n A bill introduced by Rep. Christopher P. Gibson, R-Kinderhook, that would merge the electronic health records of the Department of Defense with the Department of Veterans Affairs. H.R. 2590 and S. 1296: 21st Century Healthcare for Heroes.
n A bill that would cut 50 percent of government agency travel and replace it with videoconferencing. H.R. 2643: Stay in Place, Cut the Waste.
n A bill introduced by Rep. Peter F. Welch, D-Vt., that would reduce energy waste in federal buildings, paying private companies who identify energy savings with the dollars they save rather than taxpayer money. H.R. 2689 and S. 1308: Wasted Energy, Wasted Dollars.
n A bill introduced by Rep. Daniel Maffei, D-Syracuse, and Rep. Todd Young, R-Ind., that would enforce strategic sourcing so that separate divisions within a single federal agency do not make independent contracts for common items. H.R. 2694 and S. 1304: Buy Smarter and Save.
