The New York Hospital was founded in 1771 by Edinburgh graduate Samuel Bard. It received a Royal Charter granted by King George III of Great Britain and became associated with Weill Cornell Medical College upon the latter institution's founding in 1898. It is the second oldest hospital in the United States, after Pennsylvania Hospital (1751).
A 1927 endowment of more than $20 million by Payne Whitney expanded the hospital significantly and the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic is named in his honor. Other prominent donors have included Edward S. Harkness and Anna Harkness,[5] Howard Hughes, William Randolph Hearst, Harry and Leona Helmsley, Maurice R. Greenberg, and the Baker, Whitney, Lasdon, and Payson families.
The Presbyterian Hospital was founded in 1868 by James Lenox, a New York philanthropist and was associated with Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1925 the Sloane Hospital for Women, a leader in obstetrics and gynecology that had been founded in 1886, was incorporated.[6]
New York Hospital was the subject of a lawsuit from the family of Libby Zion, a young woman admitted in 1984 who died while under the care of overworked hospital residents. An investigation by the New York state Health Commissioner, the Bell Commission, led to restrictions on the number of hours residents could work and required oversight of their care by accredited physicians (this regulation is also known as the Libby Zion law). These reforms have since been adopted nationwide.[7] On January 1, 1998, The New York Hospital announced its merger with The Presbyterian Hospital to create New York–Presbyterian Hospital.
New York–Presbyterian Hospital, chartered as The New York and Presbyterian Hospital by the State of New York in 1996, was formed in 1998 with the merger of two large, previously independent hospitals, the New York Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital.
The NYPH system includes a variety of outlying hospitals that had previously been acquired by NYH or Presbyterian; these hospitals stretch throughout the five boroughs, Westchester County, Long Island and New Jersey.
The hospital, along with Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, runs the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, a network of independent, cooperating, acute-care and community hospitals, continuum-of-care facilities, home-health agencies, ambulatory sites, and specialty institutes in the New York metropolitan area. The two medical schools remain essentially autonomous, though there is increasing cooperation and coordination of clinical, research, and residency training programs. The hospitals have merged administrations, with Herb Pardes, M.D., leading the combined hospitals since 2001.
The institution's seven main facilities are:
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Allen Hospital
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Westchester Division, formerly the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, and before that Bloomingdale Insane Asylum
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital
- NewYork-Presbyterian/Queens
Awards and recognition[edit]
As of 2014, the U.S. News and World Report rankings place NYPH overall as the seventh-best hospital in the United States. Every specialty was ranked in the top 50 by US News, and the following were ranked in the top 10 of hospitals around the country: neurology and neurosurgery (2); gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery (8); cardiology and heart surgery (3); diabetes and endocrinology (6); nephrology (3); geriatrics (6); pulmonology (8); rheumatology (3); urology (5); and psychiatry (2).[8]
New York–Presbyterian Emergency Medical Services[edit]
New York–Presbyterian Emergency Medical Services (NYP-EMS) is a hospital-based ambulance service[9] that has operated since 1981. NYP-EMS also operates critical care transport ambulances throughout the New York City Metropolitan Area. The service is licensed to operate in the 5 counties of New York City, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties in New York, and in the state of New Jersey for Basic Life Support and Specialty Care Transport. In addition to providing emergency and non-emergency ambulance services, either through the New York City 911 system on through the NYP-EMS Communications Center at Weill Cornell Medical Center, NYP-EMS provides stand-by EMS services for events throughout the New York City area, including the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the NYC Triathlon.
NYP-EMS is also a New York State Department of Health-approved training center for EMT and Paramedic programs, several of which are approved for college-level credit by the New York State Department of Education. NYP-EMS operates one of the largest American Heart Association Emergency Cardiac Care training centers in New York. NYP-EMS also maintains a Special Operations team trained in hazardous materials decontamination and technical rescue. This team, accompanied by several Weill Cornell Physicians, provided rescue and relief support on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Most recently, the team decontaminated 28 patients after the 2007 New York City steam explosion in Midtown Manhattan on July 18, 2007.

Weill Cornell Medical Center[edit]
Cornell Medical College was founded in 1898, and has been affiliated with what is now New York–Presbyterian Hospital since 1927. The Medical College is divided into 20 academic departments. It is among the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the United States of America, although the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services's Medicare program adjudged its rate of admission for heart failure patients to be worse than the national rate. Also housed here is the New York-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health. Located at 525 East 68th Street on the Upper East Side in Manhattan (E.68th and York Avenue), New York City, the Komansky Center for Children's Health is a full-service pediatric "hospital within a hospital." The Komansky Center was listed on the 2009 U.S.News & World Report "America's Best Children's Hospitals" "Honor Roll" and one of only 10 children's hospitals in the nation to be ranked in all 10 clinical specialties.

It may have been four days into December, but there was hardly a winter coat in sight.
Record high temperatures were set throughout the north country Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service:
nWatertown hit a record high of 69 degrees, beating 1982s 63-degree record.
n Lowville hit a record high of 63 degrees, beating 1982s 61-degree record.
n Massena hit a record high of 67 degrees, beating 1982s 63-degree record.
Your average high should be 40 degrees, Buffalo NWS meteorologist James A. Mitchell said of Watertown. Thats about a 29-degree difference.
According to Mr. Mitchell, a high-pressure ridge sat over the area for several days, trapping cool air in Canada and warm air in the U.S. The ridge also prevented moisture from escaping, creating all-day rain showers Sunday and cloudy skies Monday.
However, the warm weather wont stay for very long.
Tomorrow will be a really rude awakening for people who really dont want to see the cold, Mr. Mitchell said Tuesday. Well go from early September back to December overnight.
As the jet stream makes its way eastward, cold air from Canada will shift down over the border, dropping temperatures into the 30s on Thursday and the lower 40s over the weekend. Snow showers are expected south of Watertown and southeast of Lake Ontario, but Mr. Mitchell said significant accumulation is not expected.
Snow showers also are expected throughout St. Lawrence County, according to Michael J. Muccilli, NWS meteorologist in Burlington, Vt.
Rain will replace most of the snow into the weekend.
Theres a storm system coming from the West, bringing in a mix of rain, snow and sleet, Mr. Muccilli said.
He said the rest of the month is looking warmer than average for St. Lawrence County, although not nearly as warm as Tuesday.
That prediction is not the same for Jefferson and Lewis counties, however.
Were probably going to be above average for the next 10 days, but temperatures will probably average out later in the month, Mr. Mitchell said.

Distribution of 200 drinking water filters at the Ban Hua Samran school near Krasang, Thailand
March 01, 2011
On Wednesday, January 26, Rtn. Gerti, Rtn. Gerda, Rtn. Joy, Incoming President Carl and PP Marliese drove to Krasang to distribute 200 drinking water filters at the Ban Hua Samran school.
As always, we were given a warm welcome by PP Peter, RC Krasang, and his wife Rtn. Nitaya, RCES member, and taken to our new accommodation in Krasang.
On Thursday morning we drove to the school, where the teachers, children and parents were already waiting for us. Following instructions from Rtn. Joy and Rtn. Nit, some of the older schoolchildren enthusiastically helped to put the filters together. Rtn. Gerti also found it lots of fun.
With tremendous help from the teachers and pupils, the 200 filters were ready after a good hour, and Incoming President Carl and Rtn. Nit explained how the filters work to the interested parents.
We were then able to start distributing them. This was also brilliantly organized by the teachers, meaning that we had already distributed the full 200 drinking water filters by 11:30 a.m. The parents then arranged themselves in a semicircle for a group photo.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Rtn. PDG Dr. Walter and PP Mario from district 2000 CH and all Swiss Rotarians who made this great project possible.
We were then invited for a fantastic lunch prepared with lots of love by the school's cooks. We thanked all our helpers for their great work and warm hospitality.
We were asked by the teachers of the nearby kindergarten whether we had a few water filters for the little ones and, as it was "just around the corner", we drove there. Here, too, we were given a warm welcome. The children were having their afternoon nap, so we took a quick look around. Everything was very clean and well cared for, and as we had a few spare drinking water filters with us, we were happy to comply with their request.
The kitchen and the dining area are sparkling clean! And the kindergarten staff beamed when we gave them five drinking water filters!
We then drove on to Pittayacom school. We had already handed out 50 water filters in November with PDG Walter and PP Mario from district 2000 CH! As we had brought three filters too few at the time, we handed these over to them and were able to see how well the filters work in all the classrooms.

Just how undecided are 'undecided voters?' New research published this week in the journal Science looks at 'automatic mental associations' and finds that they can be good predictors of the way an 'undecided' voter will likely finally vote. In the study, researchers looked at a group of 'undecided' people about to vote on whether a local military base should be allowed to expand. The prospective voters were shown a series of words, interspersed with images of the base, and asked to press a button whenever a positive or negative word was displayed. Measuring the times needed to respond to the words during the task gave an indication of whether the participant had a positive or negative mental association with the base -- and that association often aligned with the way the subject eventually ended up voting.
Such automatic associations can play a role beyond the polling booth, filtering incoming information and affecting our perceptions of the world around us, says Bertram Gawronski, one of the authors of the study. Issues such as racial and cultural bias are deeply connected to automatic mental associations. In this segment, Ira talks with Gawronski about the work and what it means.

Comments about SmartWool Phd Hyfi Full Zip Hoody (Men's):
I bought this for a midlayer under my ski gear. The hood goes right under my helmet. It was great in the mid teens. I think the sleeves are a little short. I am 6'2" and the thumbhooks bother me a little when I wear it casually. The bottom part of the zipped hood bothers me at first but after a little motion it was good. Also the sleeves seemed to stretch out as soon as I started my first run. Not a lot, just enough to give a good range of motion. That was good as the wrist covering is the primarty reason I bought this midlayer.

PAWTUCKET – Even though he was the winning pitcher in the decisive game, Charlie Haeger wished to have the spotlight redirected elsewhere.
"The real hero you guys should be talking to is standing over there," said Haeger while pointing in the direction of Chris Martin's locker.
PAWTUCKET – Even though he was the winning pitcher in the decisive game, Charlie Haeger wished to have the spotlight redirected elsewhere.
"The real hero you guys should be talking to is standing over there," said Haeger while pointing in the direction of Chris Martin's locker.
Martin may have recorded the two most important outs in the contest. With a trip to the Governors' Cup finals hanging in the balance, the right-handed Martin was the picture of professional composure. Inheriting a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning, Martin faced Rochester pinch hitter and major-league veteran Chris Parmelee. Martin fanned him on a 91 mph fastball. Then facing yet another major-league hitter in Aaron Hicks, Martin induced a lazy fly ball to left field.
"That was the game for intents and purposes," summed up PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina.
Thanks in large part to Martin's escape artistry, the Pawtucket Red Sox' bid to capture back-to-back Governors' Cup titles remains very much alive. Martin and Haeger teamed up with Ryan Rowland-Smith and Anthony Carter to toss a four-hit shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Rochester Red Wings in Game 5 of the Governors' Cup semifinals, a game witnessed by a small but enthusiastic gathering of 1,618.
The win propels Pawtucket to its second straight International League championship series. South Division champion Durham will serve as the final roadblock in hopes of the local entry keeping the Governors' Cup trophy around McCoy Stadium for an additional year. The best-of-five finals begin Tuesday night in Durham before the scene shifts to Pawtucket for Game 3 on Friday night. If necessary, Games 4 and 5 will also take place at McCoy.
As fate would have it, Durham and Pawtucket played for the I.L. title back in 2003. The Bulls won three straight, the last one coming on Pawtucket's home soil.
As the champagne flowed freely in the home clubhouse following yet another clinching moment for his ball club, DiSarcina reflected on Martin's clutch mound efforts.
"For him to come through like that with the big strikeout, it's just huge," expressed the victorious skipper. "Those are the moments he can hopefully draw back on and take into his big-league career."
Martin didn't get to rest after extinguishing the initial threat by Rochester. He pitched a total of 2.1 innings, and didn't allow a hit, while walking one while striking out two.
"I've been in big situations like that before. Even though it's the postseason, you don't want to change too much," said Martin, who posted a 2.25 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 72 innings split between Double-A Portland and Pawtucket. "We want to win and get another Governors' Cup."
All the offense the PawSox would need on the afternoon came in the second inning. After Red Wings starter Virgil Vazquez retired the first two batters, Pawtucket rallied by notching four straight hits – all of them courtesy of the last four hitters in DiSarcina's lineup.
No. 6 hitter Jeremy Hazelbaker began the hit parade with a triple that was aided by a bobble by right fielder Eric Farris. Dan Butler then lined a shot up the middle to plate the game's first run.
The PawSox player who delivered the game-winning hit that helped clinch the North Division crown came up next, as Justin Henry lined a double into the left-center gap to put two baserunners in scoring position. Swinging at the first pitch, No. 9 hitter Heiker Meneses capped things off with a bloop single to center field that scored both Butler and Henry.
"Meneses had the huge two-out hit – which we haven't really had much of over the last two weeks," DiSarcina said. "He didn't try to do too much. He didn't hit the ball really hard. He found the right part of the bat and the right part of the field, and those are two huge runs."
As for Haeger, he kept the Red Wings at bay through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth. Two singles and a hit by pitch helped load the bases for visitors with no outs. Haeger stayed in to strike out cleanup batter Jeff Clement before DiSarcina opted to hand the game off to the bullpen.
In earned the win, Haeger tossed 5.1 innings of four-hit ball. The knuckleball specialist struck out four and walked three while throwing 57 of his 99 pitches for strikes.
"It wasn't a fantastic day with the knuckleball by any means, but I was able to keep them off balance and change speeds," said Haeger, noting that he mixed in his fair share of fastballs.
Rowland-Smith got the last out in the eighth and retired the first two Red Wings in the ninth. Carter finished the series off by getting a groundball to shortstop. It was Carter's first save of the playoffs after recording 24 saves during the regular season.
While DiSarcina didn't formally announce his rotation for the Durham series, all signs point to prospect Anthony Ranaudo drawing Game 1 honors. Ranaudo pitched the first game of the Rochester series, though was pulled after two innings due a high pitch count.

Video: TV News Anchor Labels Viewer Criticizing Her Weight a 'Bully
LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) - A television anchorwoman in western Wisconsin says a man who wrote her an email criticizing her weight is a bully.
Jennifer Livingston responded to the email Tuesday morning during a 4-minute segment on WKBT-TV in La Crosse. She's telling young viewers not to allow bullies to define their self-worth.
WEB EXTRA: Click on the video box above to see Maryalice Demler's commentary on Jennifer Livingston's response
Livingston didn't identify the man, who wrote that he was surprised to see her physical condition hadn't improved for years. He wrote that he hopes she doesn't consider herself a suitable example for young people, especially girls.
Livingston says she thought nothing of the email. But she's angry that some children may not know to do the same when they're criticized, or worse, by bullies.
She's urging children who get picked on not to let bullies define them.

Swept along by nationalist sentiment, and forced to venture ever further out to sea to fill its nets, Asia's fishing fleet is increasingly on the frontline of escalating territorial tensions in the region. With coastal areas depleted by overfishing, the ever-growing ranks of fishermen from Ly Son -- located 30 kilometers (20 miles) east of mainland Vietnam -- rely on trips to the disputed archipelagos to net valuable hauls of anchovies, tuna and butterfish.

Entrepreneurship education key to sustainable economic upswing Paskelbta: 12/06/2013
Education is an essential element of entrepreneurship. Studies show that students who receive entrepreneurship education are not only more likely to be employed, but also more likely to start their own companies. With that in mind, the European Commission has proposed a series of actions that will help expose students to entrepreneurship and, as a result, help create jobs throughout Europe.

Sexual reproduction occurs when sperm cells fertilize egg cells. But a research lab in Massachusetts has put a new twist on this universal form of reproduction. George Daly, and his colleagues from the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, successfully fertilized mouse eggs with sperm grown from stem cells. These sperm cells did not come from an adult male mouse, but rather were grown from embryonic stem cells (Geijsen, et al., 2003). Commenting on the newly created sperm cells, Daley noted: "They look like normal sperm but without the tail" (Pilcher, 2003). These lab-grown reproductive cells were created using stem cells derived from male mouse embryos. The embryos were allowed to grow to a specific stage, at which point the sperm-like cells were teased out.
Some are hailing this new development as an alternative treatment for infertility. Yet, as Helen Pilcher reported, only "one in five of the resulting embryos began to develop normally" (2003). Azim Surani of the University of Cambridge in England, who studies sex-cell development, cautioned that the "method's low success rate may indicate a problem" (Pilcher, 2003). I certainly would hope that a one-in-five success rate would be considered somewhat indicative of a problem! Pilcher noted: "Normally, as sperm and eggs develop, their genetic material is reprogrammed. This switches on the correct genes so that fertilization can proceed. This process may have gone awry in the mouse sperm, Surani speculates—similar problems are thought to occur during animal cloning." While some may tend to view this as an acceptable alternative, techniques that bypass natural and biological processes are often later deemed impractical and even harmful.
So what will happen as researchers move toward working with humans? We can be assured that human sperm will be much more difficult to create than mouse sperm—but that is not likely to stop investigators from trying. This bold new technology will require researchers to make their stem cells using therapeutic cloning. To do so, DNA from an adult cell would be inserted into an egg that had been emptied of its DNA, and stem cells then would be isolated from the resulting early embryo. Once the stem cells had been teased out, they would be cultured to form these sperm.
While all of this may sound like an easy process, it is not. For instance, look at all of the problems researchers have with reproductive cloning (see "Cloning—Not the Big Bad Wolf—Killed the Three Little Pigs"). Experiments utilizing adult genetic material are risky, warns Hans Schöler of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Earlier this year, Schöler was the first to produce lab-grown eggs. He observed: "The DNA in our body is of low quality," (Pilcher, 2003). He contends that any disease-causing mutation that occurred during aging would be passed on to the offspring.
In September 2003, Japanese researchers were the first to report that embryonic stem cells could form in vitro into germ cells (Toyooka, et al., 2003). This latest study is the first to show that such sperm actually are fertile. In October 2003, at the 59th annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, James Grifo and colleagues at Sun Yat Sen University Medical Science in China created the first human pregnancy using techniques related to cloning (see "Pregnancy and Death Resulting from Human Nuclear Transfer"). Researchers continue to "push the envelope," and yet success rates continue to be dismal at best. Has anyone stopped to consider that we are spending literally millions of dollars (and animal and human lives) to create a technique that bypasses sexual reproduction—something that routinely works to create healthy offspring? Unfortunately, as we move closer toward human cloning, the cries of the human embryos that will be sacrificed will fall upon the deaf ears of those who now believe they are more than capable of creating and manipulating life.

|Forklaring af symbolerne
Libra is a cardinal air sign, which is important to remember because, as the Venus ruled sign of one-to-one relationships, it is often automatically assumed to be a water sign. As a cardinal sign, Libra has very strong views about justice, harmony and civilized behaviour. Libra is refined. It rules all the civilized arts - the theatre, concert halls, art galleries, as well as the laws with which any civilized society conducts itself. Saturn, which is exalted in Libra, is very comfortable in this sign, since Saturn also rules laws. The function of Libra, as indicated by the symbol of the scales, is to balance the system.
Sometimes it is revealing to imagine what it would be like to completely remove a sign from the zodiac and to think about what would then be missing. Without Libra, for example, there would be no beautiful objects in our homes, no statues or gardens or parks in our cities, no graceful buildings or boulevards, no orderly queues, or manners or etiquette or polite consideration for others. All these Libran qualities are what make civilized life gracious and pleasant. Libran rules and laws and contracts make it possible for us to live together in harmony in the confidence that those who break the laws of civilized living will be justly punished. The Venus ruler of Libra is not the sensuous, physical, earthy Venus associated with Aphrodite. This Venus is more akin to Athena, the warrior goddess who was born from her father Zeus' forehead, fully grown and fully armed, with a sword in her hand. Her function was to protect heroes and brave warriors and to bring the arts of civilization to mankind. She is the patron of architecture and all the aesthetic arts.
There is a famous statue of Justice on the top of the Old Bailey in London, which I am sure you are familiar with. This female figure holds the sword of justice in one hand and the scales of justice in the other. In a sense she is an exact representation of the Aries-Libra axis in the birth chart. Libra is about aesthetics, about structure, style, grace, balance and harmony. As far as one-to-one relationships are concerned, Libra creates the contracts which define the agreed behaviour between two people, whether in business or personal relationships. Ideas and theories and concepts of peace and harmony and justice are Libra's strengths.
As a Venus-ruled sign, there is always something charming, graceful, pleasant and attractive about Librans as well as a kind of androgynous quality. There is something rather feminine about the men and rather masculine about the women, which denotes an inner as well as outer balance. How things look and how people present themselves are important to Librans, and Libran taste and style can be relied on when it comes to interior decoration and fashion, since they have a sophisticated appreciation of balance and harmony. As intellectuals, it is likely to be the Librans at a ballet or concert who are following the score to ensure that the particular art form is performed correctly - the right way. Water and fire people, on the other hand, will simply be immersed in the emotional tension and drama entering completely into the mythic or emotional experience.
It is genuinely important for Librans that the world and other people behave fairly, that 'justice is seen to be done' and that there is an equal balance of give and take in relationships. Librans believe strongly in contractual relationships, so that: 'If I do this for you then you will do this for me,' and 'If I am there for you, then you must be there for me.' There is always a quid pro quo where Libra is concerned: nothing is given unconditionally by Libra because this upsets the balance. But remember that this is not a water sign, and Libra gets very uncomfortable when emotional issues are stirred, because emotions tend to be uncivilized and messy and often unfair, which is not Libra's arena at all. From this point of view they can be very unrealistic about relationships.
Audience: But I thought they were romantics.
Clare: Oh yes, but as an air sign they tend to be in love with love as an art form or style. They want everything to be 'nice' - 'the whole nine yards', right down to the red roses, the candlelit dinners, words of love and soft music. A legal or marriage contract is a promise to behave in a certain way or to do a certain thing. There is nothing that upsets Librans more than when they feel they have been giving more than they receive, or if a contract has been broken. That is deeply, deeply upsetting and will normally trigger the surprisingly powerful and raw emotions which Librans normally try to avoid.
A good example of this is the film, The War of the Roses, which some of you may have seen. The film begins with an extremely civilized, intelligent married couple, played by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. They have a beautiful house and a manicured garden, the 'right' pictures on the wall, beautiful cars, they belong to the right social set and have respectable careers. In short, they have everything that the air signs could wish for. What they are not in control of, however, is their emotions, and the film is a terrifying tale of disintegration as the emotions take over and destroy everything they have created together.
Audience: Yes, I remember the terrible things they did to each other. It was a very disturbing film.
Clare: They ended up attacking each other with knives, running over each other's pets and generally behaving like crazed monsters. They are not at their best, Librans, in that kind of arena. They are very, very good when manners, diplomacy and charm are required. That's their best function. They are very skilled diplomats, excellent arbitrators, wonderful statesmen, and often have a tremendous gift for flattery. It is a kind of genuine looking for the best in others, so that they can be seen in the best light themselves.
Audience: Isn't this a bit harsh?
Clare: Well, you are right to point this out because I know I have a Libran shadow! On the other hand, it is important to keep in mind that the qualities of the opposite sign are complementary and necessary for the full integration of each sign. In this case, Aries indicates that a strong sense of 'I' is essential if Libra is to function positively. As an air sign, Libra often doesn't understand that problems cannot be solved by the rational intellect alone. Shaking hands after a dispute attends to the form but does nothing to resolve the emotional undercurrent of the problem. The concept of 'peace talks' is a good example of this. The intention is to bring in rational detachment to solve a problem which often has very deep emotional roots, to put the problem on the table and look at it in a detached way in order to negotiate a compromise. Does this make sense to you? Obviously The War of the Roses resonated?
Audience: I am a Libran myself, and it was so horrible when I broke up with my ex-husband - exactly like the film!
Clare: What is so interesting when contracts are broken or ended, such as in divorce, is that on one level this is dealt with in a very civilized way through lawyers and through the law courts. This is where a pre-nuptial contract comes into its own, and indeed it must have been a Libran who invented these in the first place! It is a well known fact that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones signed a prenuptial contract and that they share the same birthday - 25th September - so they are both Librans! Catherine Zeta-Jones also starred recently in a film called Intolerable Cruelty, with George Clooney starring as a society divorce lawyer. This was another excellent exploration of the contractual side of marriage, which hinged entirely around the subject of pre-nuptial agreements. The film was a good portrayal of the fact that no 'negotiated settlement', legal separation or divorce can help with the emotions or feelings which underlie such situations. Moving on - has anyone got any planets in Libra that they would like to look at?
Planets in Libra
Audience: I have Mars in Libra.
Clare: Mars describes how you defend and assert yourself, how you fight. With Mars in Libra, I suspect that you find it easier to fight for others than for yourself if you feel an injustice has been done. This indicates that you are probably a natural mediator and arbitrator, and you will feel comfortable in these kinds of situations. It is harder for Mars in Libra to stand up for themselves since they often intellectualise the problem and can easily find reasons why the other person is behaving in a particular way, arguing against themselves, if you like. On the other hand, this placement describes a 'just war'. If a contract has been broken, an injustice done, this can spur the Libran on towards righting the wrong, although this will normally be done with great style. Do you find that injustices will really get you going?
Audience: Absolutely.
Clare: Sally has Pluto in Libra, which is a collective placement well worth looking at. Pluto was in Libra from 1971 to 1983, which indicates that the collective corruption and decay which is ready to be brought to the surface, purged and eliminated will concern issues of equality, fairness, justice and trust. The Watergate affair of 1972 and 1973 in the US is one example. We could say that, until this time, it was collectively assumed that people in positions of power would behave in a generally ethical, legal and honourable way, and that the legal system could be more or less trusted to deliver justice. Now that Pluto has been through Libra, I think we are all much more aware of the corruption which exists under the surface in big organizations. But at the time, the Watergate affair was particularly shocking because on a collective level we still expected people in positions of authority and responsibility to behave ethically.
On a personal level, the burning ground for this generation will hinge around issues of trust and personal responsibility in relationships, which are likely to go through periods of breakdown and re-creation as those with Pluto in Libra struggle to find more honest, balanced and integrated ways to manage their relationships. This is very different indeed to the Neptune in Libra generation born between 1942 and 1956. This was a generation whose collective dream and longing was for peace, love and harmony. This was the hippy generation which idealized relationships and believed, in the immortal words of John Lennon, that 'All you need is love.'
Audience: So, with Pluto in Sagittarius at the moment, what is the corruption which is coming to the surface?
Clare: Sagittarius concerns higher education, the church and the law, and I think it is true to say that all these areas are under currently under severe pressure to get their respective houses in order. In the UK, universities are now meant to be available to all, and no longer places of privilege. However, this has meant that student grants have been replaced by loans, and universities are now under extreme financial pressure to survive at all. In the church there continue to be enormous struggles over the question of the ordination of gay priests and women bishops, not to mention the exposure of priests who have molested children. In Sagittarian terms, as God's representatives priests are not supposed to be bodily motivated at all, but all these issues have come to light since Pluto entered Sagittarius. In the legal world, the corruption of the Legal Aid system has now been exposed. Pluto adds fanaticism and obsession, which could describe the current growth of fundamentalism and the rise of religious cults.

Beginning April 15, hunters will be able to learn how many permits will be available in Utah's 2002 big game draw by logging on the internet at www.wildlifeutahgov/2002bgdraw1.htm.
The Utah Wildlife Board approved limited entry permit numbers for this fall's big game hunts at its April 9 meeting in Salt Lake City. A draw for permits will be conducted this month, with results of the draw available by April 30.
Some of the most significant changes the board approved involve permits for deer, elk, bison and Rocky Mountain goats.
Deer. A total of 1,339 limited entry buck deer permits will be available this year, a 15 percent reduction from the 1,582 available in 2001. "Most of the decreases are on the Book Cliffs, San Juan, Elk Ridge; and West Desert Vernon units, where two to three years of drought has resulted in fewer fawns surviving each year," explained Steve Cranney, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
The board also reduced public permits on the Paunsaugunt unit in southwestern Utah by 25 percent. A total of 217 permits will be available on the Paunsaugunt this fall. The Southern Regional Advisory Council requested the decrease to reduce the number of bucks taken, with the purpose of providing bigger bucks for hunters to take in the future.
Elk. The total number of limited entry bull elk permits increased six percent from 805 in 2001, to 855 for 2002. The unit with the biggest increase was the Wasatch Mountains unit in north-central Utah. Permit numbers on the unit rose from 98 offered last year, to 132 this year. "Bull elk numbers on most units are doing well," Cranney commented.
Bison. Bull bison and hunter's choice bison permits for the Henry Mountains unit in southeastern Utah decreased from a total of 87 in 2001, to 42 for 2002. "We've offered quite a few permits over the years to try and get the bison on that unit under their management objective," explained Jim Karpowitz, once-in-a-lifetime big game species coordinator for DWR. "Now that we have them there, we'll focus on maintaining the number of bison we have."
Rocky Mountain Goats. Rocky Mountain goat permit numbers will be the same on all units except two.
On the Beaver unit, two permits will be offered this year, compared to one last year.
On the Kamas-North Slope-South Slope unit in the Uinta Mountains, permits doubled from five offered in 2001, to 10 in 2002. "We did our first helicopter goat census of the Uinta Mountains unit this past summer, and found more than 200 goats," revealed Karpowitz. "The high numbers allowed us to ask for the permit increase."
In addition to approving big game permit numbers, the board also approved changes to some of Utah's big game management plans. The most significant change involved six bull elk units in southern Utah, where the board approved a change in the age objective for bull elk taken by hunters.
On the LaSal Mountains, Beaver, Mount Dutton, Boulder and Paunsaugunt units, the new objective is to manage bull elk so that the elk taken by hunters will average five to six years old. The former objective was to average three to four of age in the bull elk harvest.
The board also lowered the harvested bull age objective on the Monroe unit to five to six year old bulls. The previous objective was seven to eight year old bulls. "Most of the bull elk that hunters are taking on the first five units are already averaging five to six years old because of the extensive movement of elk from other units," Cranney explained. "The Monroe unit has a very high population of mature bulls but the age objective of seven to eight years has not been met for several years, in spite of extremely low numbers of permits for the number of bulls counted on the unit. "Making these changes will allow for much better management across all these units," continued Cranney.
Recommended bull elk permit numbers for the six units will not be adjusted to the new management objectives until the 2003 hunting season.

King 33 Training, a company that trains and educates individuals on the safe and proper use of guns and other uses of protective force, offers classes to marksmen of all levels. The Connecticut company offers training for clients interested in maintaining a safe environment for themselves, their families, and those around them. Connecticut, home to a number of gun manufactures including Colt Defense, is a state with conflicting views on guns and gun ownership. Currently the state has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation and its current governor Daniel Malloy is pushing for tougher measures following the shootings at the Sandy Hook School.

The Time That Remains (Al Zaman Al Baqi)
"The Time That Remains" is a semi-autobiographical film, in four episodes, about a family from 1948 until recent times. The film is inspired by the private diaries of the author's father, starting from when he was a resistance fighter in 1948, and by the letters of the author's mother to family members who were forced to leave Palestine. The film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained and were labeled "Israeli-Arabs," living as a minority in their own homeland.

PAWTUCKET — Pawtucket Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting of four local people who were outside of a house on John Street late Tuesday night.
According to Major Arthur Martins, police responded at around 11:40 p.m. to 48 John St. in response to a shooting. Officers arrived and found four individuals who had been struck by bullets.
The victims were identified as Silvana Urbina, 37, of 48 John St.; Andre Gilbert, 18, of 48 John St.; Germaine Bruce, 18, of 230 East St.; and Davhon Shelton, 18, of 138 Woodbine St.
Martins said that the victims told police they were standing in the driveway of 48 John St. when they were approached by several males who were unknown to them. They said that one or more of the males started to shoot at them. The suspects then reportedly fled the scene in an unknown direction.
Urbina was struck in the left cheek area, Gilbert was struck in the shoulder, Bruce was hit in the abdomen and Shelton received a grazing wound to the neck area, Martins said. Urbina, Gilbert and Bruce were transported to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment. Shelton refused medical attention. None of the injuries were considered to be life threatening.
Police found that numerous bullets had struck the house and a nearby vehicle.
The investigation is ongoing, Martins said. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Det. Donti Rosciti at 727-9100, ext. 737.
