How can we connect the spiritual realizations of Buddhism with the psychological insights of the West? In Toward a Psychology of Awakening John Welwood addresses this question with comprehensiveness and depth. Along the way he shows how meditative awareness can help us develop more dynamic and vital relationships and how psychotherapy can help us embody spiritual realization more fully in everyday life. Welwood's psychology of awakening brings together the three major dimensions of human experience: personal, interpersonal, and suprapersonal, in one overall framework of understanding and practice.
News & Reviews
"A very important book. It represents a perceptive, scholarly and at the same time highly practical attempt to see not only how Western psychology and Buddhism relate to each other but also how they complement each other. I cannot commend this book too highly."— The Middle Way
"Brilliant and thought provoking. This ambitious work succeeds so well because it sheds light on the interplay between meditation, inner work, and conscious relationship as a spiritual practice."— Spirituality & Health
"Marvelously fluent, personable, and eminently compassionate."— NAPRA Review
"Rich, potentially transforming insights abound here. Psychotherapists and spiritual seekers alike will be enriched by this book."— Publishers Weekly

Ostensibly, Dionis' Grounded In Nature Tropical Fruit Cuticle Cream ($5) is, as the name implies, just for cuticles. But upon use, we discovered this almond oil & mango seed butter infused cream does wonders on cracked, dry heels worn out from summer sandal wearing. It's packed with vitamin E to soothe and moisturize, and as with all Dionis products, is natural and contains no parabens or artificial dye. We slather it on our heels before bedtime, pop on some old cotton socks, and wake up to some seriously soft soles.

Marybeth Jeitner: Woman's Facebook plea saves rare orange-colored lobster from Publix
A lobster managed to dodge a dinner plate thanks to one woman's Facebook campaign.
She saw the lobster, which had rare coloring, at a Publix grocery store and decided to save it.
Little did Marybeth Jeitner realize when she made a weekend trip to the Flagler Beach Publix she'd get caught up in a once-in-a-lifetime project to save a lobster.
It began when she ran into a friend.
"He and his wife were busy on their phones as they were shopping so I asked them what they were doing. And they said there's a beautiful rare lobster back in the seafood section. You have to go see her," Jeitner said.
So she did, which is a feat in and of itself.
"I'm vegan. So I don't ever go to the seafood section," she says.
Jeitner posted photos on facebook, asking for help in saving this lobster from someone's dinner table.
Soon, she had hundreds of people offering help, including Heather Chalmers and her daughter Ava Grundvig.
Mobile users watch video here: http://bit.ly/1AP82ye
"When we started researching it, and really found out how rare it was, we got concerned too," Chalmers said.
Lobster experts say it's a 1-in-30 million genetic anomaly.
So Chalmers volunteered her kitchen and tank and Jeitner bought Libby, short for liberation, and began looking for a permanent home.
Perhaps the biggest help in this endeavor has been, of all things, social media, specifically Facebook. Without that, it probably couldn't have happened.
Jeitner got word that a Maine company, getmainelobster.com will arrange a return trip to Maine while another friend is in New Hampshire working to provide Libby a permanent home.
"What I learned is that when people come together they can do amazing things. I would have never thought I could have had a lobster in my kitchen but with the help from everybody, I mean, it really made everything possible," Grundvig said.
They hope to have Libby back in New England by the end of the week.

Jeannie Sowers
Associate Professor of Political Science -- Egypt
Professor Sowers travelled to Egypt in February 2013 to continute her research on environmental issues and politics and to learn more about the ongoing political revolution that began in January 2011.
With the assistance of a CIE travel grant funded by the Yale-Maria bequest for Middle East Studies, I was able to spend twelve days in Cairo during February 2013. I returned to Egypt, where I have been conducting research on environmental issues and politics for some time, to learn more about the ongoing political revolution that began in January 2011. Specifically, I was interested in debates over the controversial constitution that had just been passed through a referendum, which many people boycotted in protest. I talked with a people from a variety of political perspectives and parties about what the new constitution and ongoing revolution means to Egyptians.
Downtown Cairo (Wast al-Balad)
I had last been back to Egypt in the summer of 2011, to gather material for the introduction to an edited volume (The Journey to Tahrir, Verso, 2012) and since then, much had changed. The initial euphoria and unity that marked the mass uprising against the Mubarak regime had, somewhat predictably, given way to sharp political divisions, between political parties, elites, and activists. Worryingly, political leaders of various currents-- whether from the Muslim Brotherhood and their affiliated Freedom and Justice Party, the liberal opposition loosely grouped into a "National Salvation Front," and the various Islamist salafi parties-- had been unable to reach significant compromises on many important political issues. While I was in Cairo, however, it seemed that the worsening economic and political crisis might prompt the various centers of power to consider modifying their entrenched positions.
My trip was also in response to interest in my recently published book, Environmental Politics in Egypt (Routledge, 2013), from the community of environmental experts and activists in Cairo. An environmental association, Nature Conservation Egypt, invited me to lecture on the book, which was hosted by the British Council in Cairo. (See NCE's pictures of the event.) A local newspaper, Egypt Independent, followed up with an interview about environmental politics in Egypt. NCE also organized a separate, informal reception where we could all meet each other and exchange ideas.
Young Egyptian environmentalists (Noor Noor, Lama el-Hatow, and Sarah Rifaat) and Prof. Sowers, at an informal reception hosted by Nature Conservation Egypt. Lama and Sarah founded the National Coalition on Climate Change, and Noor is the Executive Coordinator of Nature Conservation Egypt. Picture taken by the late Mindy Baha el-Din.
The mix of attendees at the lecture captured some of the social changes underway in Egypt. In addition to established environmental professionals, many of whom I had interviewed for the book, there were young activists, community organizers affiliated with Islamic charities, and an academic from Al Azhar, the leading Islamic institution of learning. Under the Mubarak regime, fewer organizations had been involved in discussions of environmental problems under the Mubarak regime, since environmental issues were largely left to technical experts rather than seen as viable subjects for public and scholarly debate. Now, the discussion was animated, and it was exciting to see how many creative approaches environmentalists are trying to address grave problems.
Shortly after I left Cairo, one of the founders of Nature Conservation Egypt and someone that I had known for a while passed away unexpectedly. She left behind two children, a grieving husband, and a gap in the close-knit community of environmentalists that she helped foster in Cairo. Her death reminded me of the importance of working for social change while we have the opportunity.
As I travelled around Cairo for interviews and document collection, I was struck at how the largest city in Africa continues to function through political stalemate, a deteriorating economy, and a lack of any credible civil police force. The traffic has become worse, as cars park willy-nilly on sidewalks and streets, narrowing traffic corridors, while the subways and trains are sometimes shut down by protests. Many of Greater Cairo's estimated 13 million inhabitants are thus working longer days given the transport problems. They also face significant price increases for fuel and food, rising unemployment, and thus increasing poverty rates. Yet street life is still vibrant and I found the typical Cairene mix of humor, generosity, and sociability wherever I went, even as frustration mounts with traffic jams, price increases, and a new political establishment that seems unable to grapple with the spiraling economic downturn.
Election posters for the Journalist's Syndicate
Cairo is also impacted by the great national and regional tragedy unfolding in Syria, as Syrian refugees with enough resources to make it to Egypt trickle in. Over the years Cairo has seen waves of refugee communities, including Palestinians, Lebanese, Sudanese, Ethiopians, and Iraqis, all fleeing the horrors of war. In the relatively affluent neighborhood where I was staying, I met several Syrian families who left their shops in the old city of Damascus, and come to Cairo to try and sustain their families selling handicrafts. They mourned the loss of life back home, and wondered when and if they would be able to go back.
Unlike the Syrian families who could afford to make it to Cairo, most of the over 1 million Syrian refugees are in dire circumstances. Many are living in burgeoning refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan. Relief agencies are critically short of the funds needed to assist the ever-greater numbers of people fleeing the country, most of whom are women, children, and the elderly. Americans can help provide needed water, food, and shelter by donating to relief organizations with extensive operations on the ground in Syria and in neighboring countries such as Turkey and Jordan. These organizations include UNICEF, UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency), and Oxfam, among others.
I am grateful to CIE, the Yale-Maria bequest, and travel funds from the Department of Political Science for making my trip to Cairo possible.

Everything is working okay except for that I can't create a new site. I tried downloading my .stp from my 2007 site. I renamed it to a .cab. Made the necessary edits in the manifest.xml.

Everything loads fine but when I am make it available and a Site Template it doesn't stick. I get a blank page when click New Site.

I want to show that if $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ and $df_a$ is the derivative of the function at $a$ then $df_a(v)=\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)$. I saw a few proofs of this proposition, but all of them were pretty much the same (using the same definition for derivability) and I wanted do a proof using another definition.
I have a sketch, but I believe it may have some troubles. Instead of proving that $df_a(a)=\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)$ I show that $df_a(tv)=\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial tv}(a)$ considering the limit
$$\lim_{tv\to 0}\frac{|f(a+tv)-f(a)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial tv}(a)|}{|tv|}\\=\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{|f(a+tv)-f(a)-t\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)|}{|t||v|} \\\leq\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{|f(a+tv)-f(a)-t\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)|}{|t|}\\=\lim_{t\to 0}\left|\frac{f(a+tv)-f(a)-t\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)}{t}\right|\\=\left|\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{f(a+tv)-f(a)}{t}-\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}(a)\right|=0.$$
Follows that $df_a(tv)=\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial tv}$ and since $df_a(tv)=tdf_a(v)$ and $\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial tv} = t \displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}$ is $df_a(v)=\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial v}$. Now I'm unsure about the second step, whether is legitimate to change $tv\to 0$ by $t\to 0$, which would make no differencefor $f(a+tv)$ but I have some doubts if this remains true for the partial derivative as well.

SANTA ANA – The Orange County Rescue Mission has opened a mobile legal clinic to help homeless people and those at need in Orange County.
Trinity Law School in Santa Ana will provide attorney and law student volunteers to help those who cannot otherwise afford legal services.
Officials gathered Thursday in the Civic Center area to cut a ceremonial ribbon with an oversized pair of scissors, but had to resort to regular scissors to make it through the plastic ribbon.
"The biggest thing that comes out of this for our students is they have the opportunity to see how they can make a difference," said Trinity School of Law Dean Myron Steeves.
Three students are working at the mobile clinic now, and the school will have nine students a year training to provide services.
Dave Howell, a third year law student, is one of the volunteers.
"(We're) bringing an understanding of law to people who don't have the opportunity to have that," Howell said.
Daniel Castro, a resident of the Village of Hope in Tustin, used the volunteer legal services in Riverside County when he was fighting a 12-year jail sentence.
He worked with attorney Bryan Kazarian, who volunteers at the Village of Hope and is a professor at Trinity School of Law. The judge allowed Castro to attend a three-year 12-step recovery program and probation instead of going to jail, Castro said.
Now, Castro, 45, is looking for jobs and taking general education classes at Irvine Valley College.
"I was so tired of going to prison. I wanted to be around for my kids," Castro said.
Kazarian works in the legal clinic at the Village of Hope in Tustin. The clinic handles cases for people who attend the Orange County Rescue Mission campuses. They need help with a broad spectrum of topics, including criminal law, family law, child support, debt, SSDI, bankruptcy, traffic tickets, divorce, immigration and more, officials said.
Often, people don't know where to turn to get help, said Ryan Burris, chief relationship officer for the Orange County Rescue Mission.
"Our goal is to remove those barriers," Burris said.
Mark West was one of the first to meet with the students and attorneys in the legal clinic.
"I gave them a list of issues and they'll knock out what they can," West said. He chooses to be homeless in Santa Ana, he said, because many churches and social groups visit the area with food, medical care and other help. He's been visiting the medical clinic here for more than a year.
"The smiling face I see when I get here is a tremendous shot of medicine for me," West said. "Most of us feel disregarded."
Orange County Rescue Mission President Jim Palmer hopes more groups will copy their model and bring services to the people who need them.
The idea for the clinic was born during lunch at Quinn's Old Town Grill in Tustin.
"Steeves said students are always asking, 'Can't we just go practice law on the streets?' I said, 'If you want to do it, you can do it.' " Palmer said.
The van was donated and the Orange County Rescue Mission refurbished the inside with computers and chairs for consultations.
The truck will be stationed in a parking lot near Ross Street and Civic Center Drive in the Santa Ana Civic Center from 4 to 8 p.m. every Thursday, along with a Mobile Chili Van and a Mobile Medical Clinic.
The mobile legal clinic will also appear at 4:30 p.m. on April 10 at 26010 Domingo Ave. in Capistrano Beach (Dana Point). The clinic is joining the Welcome Inn OC, which serves food at that spot every day at 4 p.m.
Information: Village of Hope at 714-247-4300 or rescuemission.org.

Potential Wrestlemania Spoiler (updated)
Mar 3, 2011 - by Steve Gerweck
– Hulk Hogan wrote on his Twitter that fellow WWE Hall of Famer and long
time personal friend Jimmy Hart is on his way back to WWE to be a part of
WrestleMania. While no angle has been shot yet, Hogan said that Hart is
going to be Jerry Lawler's manager at WrestleMania as he prepares to take on
Michael Cole in Lawler's first WrestleMania match of his career. "I just
hope it's not a one off like the Rock," said Hogan. "Jimmy still lives for
being right in the middle of all the action, he did what was best for
himself." Hart managed over 40 Superstars and more than 10 tag team during
his long, storied career.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Northwestern quarterback Dan Persa is expected to play against No. 12 Michigan on Saturday.
Coach Pat Fitzgerald says Persa is "great, he's ready to go" after leaving last week's 38-35 loss at Illinois because of soreness in his right foot near the Achilles tendon he ruptured last November. The senior took himself out after a hit in the fourth quarter, spoiling what had been an impressive season debut.
Sidelined the first three games, he threw for a career-high four touchdowns as the Wildcats built an 18-point lead.
While Persa appears ready to go, Fitzgerald said Monday at his weekly news conference that running back Mike Trumpy will miss the rest of the season after being carted off the field with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

At least it's not a virus or worm.
Come to think of it, I am sure there are some viruses on that keyboard.
What is this bug? Remember seeing them a lot in Ontario, about the only thing alive in the house in the dead of the winter. Vaguely smelled like artifical apple flavouring...
That bug looks like Leptoglossus occidentalis (Coreidae), a species of western North American origins which has, in the last 20 years, moved eastward across the continent.

Bucknell's Mike Muscala had 17 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Dartmouth.
Nov. 27, 2012
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Lehigh and Bucknell each looked impressive on Tuesday as they picked up double-digit victories against foes from regional conferences.
C.J. McCollum had 30 points and nine rebounds to lead the Mountain Hawks to a 77-66 win at Quinnipiac, while Mike Muscala totaled 17 points and 11 boards in a 62-49 triumph at home against Dartmouth. It was McCollum's NCAA-best third 30-point game this season, while Muscala pulled into second in the country with his fifth double-double. Also, Holy Cross fell 61-42 at Providence on Tuesday.
Lehigh (5-2) was down 62-61 with just over five minutes to go before McCollum scored 14 consecutive Mountain Hawk points to lead a 16-4 game-ending run for the 77-66 win. The senior guard did not score in the first 9:49 of the contest but still managed to finish with 30 points on 9-of-18 shooting along with nine rebounds and four assists without a turnover. His 25 second-half points marked a career high for points in a half. Gabe Knutson had 17 points and eight boards in the win, while Mackey McKnight added seven points and seven assists.
Muscala and Cameron Ayers each had double-doubles to lead Bucknell (6-1) to the 62-49 win over Dartmouth. Ayers had 13 points and 10 rebounds to go with Muscala's 17 points and 11 boards, while Joe Willman also added 13 points and Bryson Johnson scored 10. The score was tied at 35-35 with 13:34 left before the Bison took control with nine straight points on their way to the 13-point win. Bucknell improved to 100-32 in nearly 10 full seasons at Sojka Pavilion.
The Bison won their seventh straight game against an Ivy League opponent, while the Mountain Hawks grabbed their eight win in a row versus a Northeast Conference foe.
Holy Cross (4-3) had a tough night offensively in its 61-42 loss at Providence. The Crusaders were down by 11 points at the half and as many as 30 after intermission before inching back for the 19-point defeat. Dave Dudzinski led the way with 11 points and eight rebounds.
Three teams are in action on Wednesday when Lafayette hosts Delaware, Navy welcomes IPFW and American heads to St. Joseph's.

When you visit a mechanic, make sure to ask lots of questions. Make sure that you are specific with your questions when you pose them. Learning how to prevent certain issues will help you save a lot of money.
You depend heavily on your car, as it is your primary mode of transportation. You might not be knowledgeable about cars, but that's fine, as you can learn more about them. If this is true, then you have found a great article on how you can do some simple car maintenance.
Invest in high-quality battery chargers and keep them inside your car. Dead batteries are a common problem, and you should always have a charger or cables on you at all times. Familiarize yourself with how the charger hooks up to your battery.
The warning lights on your dashboard have an important function. Refer to your car manual for explanations. They are there for a warning so it is to your benefit to be aware of what they are warning you about. Ignoring them for extended periods of time will only make the problem much worse than it already is.
Watch out for the type of shop that will take off your good tires and put old ones on. Some shops will try to squeeze every dollar out of you. Therefore, always put a little chalk on them so you can identify your tires. If the chalk isn't present when you get the car, you've been had. Before seeking out a mechanic, learn about car parts' standard classifications. Know the difference between rebuilt and reconditioned, new, and salvage parts. "New" means the part was made to the manufacturer's specs, by the maker or by an independent retailer. "Re-manufactered, rebuilt and reconditioned" are parts that are restored to a good working condition. Salvaged parts are those that have some wear and tear to them. Do not let a mechanic work on your car before knowing about their prices and how much they charge for labor. Fees can be hidden and need to be detailed. You must know what you're being billed. They may be from a manual written by the car's manufacturer. Simple repairs could be an all-day affair.
When you have paid for a new part, ask the mechanic to return the old one to you. If he won't do it, he probably never replaced the parts he said he did. This should raise warning flags that should be confronted.
Keep track of how often you need to change your oil. Look at your car's manual to see when the manufacturer recommends oil changes. Failing to get routine oil changes will shorten you car's life, so set reminders if necessary.
You should not purchase a part from someone who claims the part will last you a lifetime. This is generally just a way to get consumers to buy those parts. There are some cars that carry a "lifetime guarantee" for their transmission fluid: this is a perfect example. Transmission fluid needs to be changed every 80K miles or so.
Become educated on car-part classifications. Parts are classified as new, re-manufactured, rebuilt, and reconditioned, and salvage. New parts are just that: new. Rebuilt and reconditioned and re-manufacturered parts have been restored to working condition. Salvage parts just means used parts without any type of alterations. Self diagnosing complex problems with your vehicle is probably something you shouldn't attempt. Remember, you're not a professional. Even problems that seem simple to fix may actually be complicated, particularly in newer model cars. Let the professionals diagnose your problem. Just tell them the symptoms you are experiencing, including noises or the "feel" of the car, but then let them do their job. Pay attention to any sounds coming from your car. Noise can mean a lot when it comes to a problem that a car is having. When you are able to tell a mechanic about the sound your car is making, they can find the problem easier, saving you money.
All quotes should have itemized costs, including parts and labor. This will allow you to easily determine which of two different quotes is the best one. In general, it is the labor that will vary, so look at that closely.

Are visions of dressing up like an extra from Oklahoma! dancing through your head? Fear not. There are plenty of different ways to go country, and some are more Mumford than Rednex.

It's a hospital, which seems to be a good location for green roofing, since the roofs are often overlooked by more patient rooms higher up. As usual, we have a sedum roof, a "Pre-Vegetated Sedum Mat" with some grasses and small trees too.
Project Name: Providence Everett Medical Center
Year: 2010
Location: Everett, WA, USA
Building Type: Healthcare
Size: 13700 sq.ft.
Slope: 1%
Access: Inaccessible, Private
Not the prettiest of green roof projects. No doubt it will fill in and be a better attraction for the patients over time.
My brother is working on a hospital project in New York. I wonder if he's got a green roof going?

How do you know when it's a patient room? I mean, it's not like they tap their feet and pointedly look at their watches.

Bad Boy Shia LaBeouf Sports A New Clean Look, Doesn't Look Homeless For A Change
Well that's a look we're not used to seeing!
Our favorite resident bad boy Shia LaBeouf stepped out today sporting a much cleaner look than usual.
The troubled actor looked like the picture of health while out and about in Studio City after coming from an AA meeting.
We really prefer clean cut Shia. No offense but scruffy Shia was starting to look a little cray cray.
[midpostembed id="9816228″ type="gallery" title="Homeless man? or shia labeouf? "]This is quite the 180 considering his strange and erratic behavior in New York just a few weeks ago. He was arrested during a Cabaret performance for an apparent drunken outburst.
His behavior has just been all around weird for a while now. Let's not forget about that paper bag incident!
But hey! We're just glad that he doesn't look homeless anymore. Or isn't wearing the same outfit two days in a row…I'm sorry that's just unforgivable.
Part of me wonders if he's pulling a Joaquin Phoenix with this whole "crazy bit". I just can't believe this is for real. Partly because I don't think I can take another Disney star losing his mind.
Well at least for today he looks semi-normal.
Launch the gallery to enjoy rare pics of Shia looking calm, cool, and collected.

The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
The Golden Compass Theme of Morality and Ethics
Morality and ethics have to do with right vs. wrong. Plenty of people in this novel are doing the wrong thing: Mrs. Coulter and the General Oblation Board, for example, are downright baddies. Others are doing shady things but with the best of intentions: for example, the Master of Jordan College, who attempts to poison Lord Asriel. Still others we're a bit hazy on, like the crazy ambitious Lord Asriel. For her part, Lyra always tries her best to do the right thing, but sometimes stuff turns out badly despite her good intentions. (Two words: Poor Roger.)
Philip Pullman is very conscious of questions of morality in his writing. Check out his thoughts on the matter:
"Try as hard as you can, you can't leave out morality from a book. Everything we do, however small, has consequences. The greatest fiction always has a sequence of actions followed by reactions, followed by consequences. […] You can't leave morality out unless your work is so stupid and trivial and so worthless that [nobody] would want to read it anyway." (source)
Wow, tell us what you really think, Phil. True to his word, The Golden Compass asks us to think about hard questions of right and wrong. In the book, just as in life, it's not always clear who or what is good or evil, and Lyra has to puzzle through as best she can.
Questions About Morality and Ethics
- Which characters in this book would you consider good? Which would you call evil? Are some characters in between?
- Do any of the good characters ever do "bad" things? Do any of the evil characters ever do "good" things?
- Why does Lyra stay in the study when she sees the Master of Jordan pour poison into the decanter? Why does she warn Lord Asriel?
- What do the gyptian men do with Tony's fish? Why does this upset Lyra?
- Why does Lyra free the daemons in the cages?
- Does Lyra betray Roger? How?
- Over the course of the novel, Lyra develops a strong sense of right and wrong. What events and people help her develop a moral compass?
- Lyra lies a lot. Is lying ever the right thing to do, or is it always immoral?
Chew on This
Over the course of the book, Lyra goes from being an amoral child to a very moral young adult.
In The Golden Compass, there is a clear difference between good and evil.
In The Golden Compass, no characters are wholly good or evil.


text: I was really dissapointed with all the royal guard models out there. Many were poorly modeled. The Kir Kanos model had a horribly short cape, and it was simply too battle damaged, and the boots were badly done. If a good modeller would be willing to take a look at the covers of the Crimson Empire comic books, and in some places the pages, and model Kir Kanos, Carnor Jax, and a generic Royal Guard specifically according to it, I would be deeply grateful. Also, does anyone know how to access the female jedi skin hidden inside of Jedi Outcast?

Did you know that people who meditate are scientifically proven to be happier and healthier? It's true. And they have greatly extended life spans, too. As a matter of fact, there have been numerous studies showing that meditation dramatically reduces, and even reverses disease of all types.
But the benefits of meditation don't stop there. Studies also show that experienced meditators – those who are able to achieve the deepest levels of meditative states – are able to tap into dormant levels of brain function they never thought possible – levels of function that exist in each and every one of us – resulting in increased intelligence, creativity, and success in life.
In fact, if you do your homework, you'll discover that many of history's greatest inventors, philosophers, and scientists received their revolutionary, future-changing ideas during their daily meditation sessions.
Upon closer examination of their brains, meditation practitioners consistently show to function at a superior level than the average person on seemingly every test, measurement, and assessment the scientific community has created.
Just imagine what you could do if you had easy access to deep levels of meditation!
One of the reasons meditators experience greater levels of happiness and health is because meditation significantly increases the brain's production of several euphoric chemicals -the same chemicals that flow through your bloodstream on those days when you've never felt better. Even more, meditation allows these euphoric brain chemicals to be produced constantly.
Meditators also sleep much better than those who don't meditate. As a matter of fact, they have shown to need fewer hours of sleep every night because their minds and bodies are completely refreshed and rejuvenated during their highly pleasurable meditation sessions.
Meditation is also known for providing its practitioners with superior mental and emotional health, it rids our minds of subconscious layers of anger, depression, anxiety, fear, phobias, and sadness, and produces a seemingly perfect mental and emotional balance.
If that was not enough, people who meditate are also known to have more friends, maintain healthier relationships, and feel a great deal more satisfied and content with their lives.
The benefits of meditation really are limitless, how long will it take to learn?
What would you say if we told you that with just a press of a button, you could have access to the same deep, highly pleasurable, extremely beneficial meditative states as those with decades of experience? And get the same results in much, much less time, plus a host of other life -enhancing benefits?
Well, thanks to EquiSync®, you can achieve precisely the same electrical brainwave pattern (also see this page) of profoundly deep meditation safely, simply, and effortlessly. A few minutes of your day is all that is necessary to transform your life!
Back in 1839, Dr. Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, a Prussian physicist and meteorologist, discovered that when you introduce tones with certain frequencies into each ear, you could actually entrain the electrical patterns within the brain to resonate in very specific patterns, called brainwave states. In the last two decades, there has been an amazing amount of scientific interest in this world transforming field of study, laying the foundation for the hundreds of studies conducted since then, boosting the technology's significance and importance immeasurably.
With these studies in mind, EquiSync's revolutionary, multi-layered, multi-tiered approach was born. Designed to synchronize and harmonize your brainwaves while allowing you access to the deepest, most pleasurable, most beneficial states of meditation — much faster than the traditional route, EquiSync has made mastering meditation easier than ever!
Many psychologists, doctors, teachers, and other professionals have endorsed the technology while personally taking advantage of the limitless benefits that accompany Equisync's precisely designed brainwave synchronization/entrainment technology. It is such a profound field of study that many of the metaphysical benefits, those beyond our current scientific measure and technological & philosophical understanding, have yet to be discovered.

Bullying has become more prevalent than ever and the correlation between suicides amongst the younger generation and bullying is staggering. And its not just affecting our younger generation. Bullying is affecting small children in the playground, adults in the workplace and even the elderly in elder care facilities. According to a report issued in June 2012 by the CDC one in 12 teenagers will attempt suicide because of bullying. It doesn't end there. According to NBC News one in 10 senior citizens will be affected by some sort of bullying as per bullying statistics from 2013. What's sad about this situation is that many of these statistics are incorrect due to many incidents going unreported. The fear of repercussion gives the bully more power since many people who are being bullied are just too afraid to take action. To put a more accurate face on bullying here are some more statistics from the iSafe Foundation:
At least 50% of teens have been bullied online.
About 10 to 20% of those teens are bullied on a regular basis per the Cyberbullying Research Center.
One-million children on Facebook alone were harassed in 2011 as reported by Consumer Reports.
DoSomething.org claims 90% of children in grades 4 through 8 have been bullied at some point.
ISafe Foundation reports 35% of children have actually been threatened online, some more than once.
When it comes to cyberbullying the statistics go higher. The Pew Internet Research Center, a non profit organization that provides research on the social structure of the internet states that 95% of teenagers have witnessed cyberbullying while they have been using their social media sites. Of that percentage, 84% have seen someone defend the victim and 84% have stood up for the victim personally. However, 90% of those who witnessed bullying on their social media sites have also ignored the behavior at some point with 35% of them doing so often.
To bring awareness to the epidemic of bullying Epiduo and PACER'S National Bullying Prevention Center have joined together in a new initiative called the Band Together to Banish Bullying Project. This unique project is intended to provide teens and young adults with a way to express their feelings around bullying and bullying prevention. Together those affected by bullying will work together with three of today's top musical artists to turn the pain of bullying into something positive. Clinton Sparks, (Grammy award-winning producer for Lady Gaga, Akon, Pitbull, Beyonce & many more, DJ, and recording artist), shares his story of being a victim of bullying, The Mowgli's (California-based band dedicated to spreading a message of hope, positivity and love through their music), share their similar message and lastly Kylie Morgan who rose to fame with her hit song "Phoebe," which is based on the true story of a young girl who was bullied so severely that she took her own life. The program encourages teens to submit their own experiences with bullying, which can be anything from a picture, a poem or a video. Submissions are open from now until July 25. The three aforementioned artists will gather all of the submissions and work together to write a brand-new song inspired by the stories. The song and accompanying music video will be released at the end of September, just in time for National Bullying Awareness Month.
Don't let the bullies win this battle. Embrace your voice and share your story with others.

Luca Scassa has just got his ass kicked for being dumb. The popular Italian rider who took second in today's World Supersport race behind team mate Chaz Davies has been informed that he has been disqualified from taking part in the sixth round of the championship at Misano Adriatico scheduled for June 10-12th.
Scassa didn't commit any racing wrongdoings on track, but the Italian a few weeks ago through his Scassa Racing Experience school was instructing riders at the Misano circuit riding a Yamaha R1 and not a R6 that he uses in the championship.
Unfortunately for Scassa and his team riding a machine at a circuit that is part of the WSS championship calendar unless the team specifically designates it as one of their test circuits (for the ParkinGO team it's Aragon) is a big no, no, hence the disqualification according to the FIM rules 1.11.1 e 1.15.1.

Looks like new Motorola Droid RAZR HD has ICS right now….it better get Android Jelly Bean. And a different back. Wish this thing would have an even better IPS screen. This doesn't need a 3300 mah battery, but it should at least have a removable battery so that you could swap out spares or get an extended battery.
New Cell Phones 2012 – New Verizon Phones – New Motorola Cell Phones
- Verizon Motorola Droid RAZR HD cell phone photos
I kinda like the look of the back…and the screen looks like it will be pretty spectacular..Stop complaining about the 13 MP camera. Megapixels mean very little beyond the number 5. It's the image sensor that matters. No phone camera I great because you can't fit a good image sensor in today's ultra thin phones.
I was really looking forward to this phone for Verizon, but with almost every new rumor lately, it's looking less and less amazing.

I have a table in a MySQL database with a spatial geometry column of type POINT. I'd like to be able to take a point at the center of a map and find all records within X miles (or whatever distance) of it. I can't seem to find a good example or explanation of how to do this that doesn't get heavily into geometric math. I'm happy to go that route, but would first like to try and solve it with a true spatial database.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It won't work because MySQL hasn't actually implemented the code to make this work. They only use bounding box queries.
Notice there are no functions listed here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/functions-for-testing-spatial-relations-between-geometric-objects.html
I would reccomend using PostGIS or Spatialite instead.

Isy Haas was born in Istanbul, Turkey. He and his parents were Jewish and Polish citizens, not automatically Turkish. They spoke French and German until World War II, when they ceased speaking German. Haas attended a French Catholic grade school and the English High School for Boys. He was always interested in physics, and at Robert College, where he graduated summa cum laude, he settled on electrical engineering.
Experiencing Turkish anti-Semitism, Haas wanted to go to the United States. He matriculated into Princeton University, where he obtained a master's degree in engineering, though his classes were mostly in physics and mathematics. His mentor and advisor was George Warfield, who recognized Haas's "feel" for the way things happen or work, his "physical intuition." One summer he worked for IBM, where he first became interested in computers.
Haas accepted a job at Remington Rand Univac in Philadelphia, working on positive-gap diodes under Josh Gray. Haas obtained his first patents there. Remington helped him gain his permanent residence, important because the military was his field's main customer. He left the Northeast for California, where he went to Fairchild Camera and Instrument (later Fairchild Semiconductor); there he worked with Gordon Moore, Robert Noyce, Victor Grinich, and Jay Last. Calling himself a "cynical circuit designer," Haas preferred evaluating devices. He developed Avalanche switching and wrote "a few" papers on four-layer diodes.
When Last founded Amelco Corporation, Haas left Fairchild for Amelco and stayed there about seven years, including the years after Amelco was incorporated into Teledyne Technologies. He worked with Lionel Kattner on diffusion, and they evolved a proof of principle for diffused isolation. Haas designed and evaluated most of the integrated circuits originating at Teledyne. Assuming Last's position when Last left, Haas became knowledgeable in many aspects of design and evaluation. He spent a year trying (unsuccessfully) to raise capital for his own company and then went into consulting.
At the end of the interview Haas discusses his patent for a two-collector transistor; Teledyne's military work; and the sources and development of equipment and materials. He talks more about Sheldon Roberts and Lionel Kattner. He explains how his move to Chandler, Arizona, improved the quality of his life. He concludes the interview talking about his work on MOS devices for General Instrument Corporation, which finally convinced him that he wanted to be his own boss. He took up what he liked best and did best: developing integrated circuits of all kinds. He had very little competition at first, so he did quite well. Eventually the field expanded and computers were developed to aid with design and simulation. Computers were too expensive for Haas at first, and a gradual decline in work led to his retirement. Haas says he is now attentive to the stock market.

Volume 11 (6) November/December 1997
Are you being Pushed?
The development of the WWW has largely been responsible for the phenomenal growth in the use of the Internet. The web is based on users actively seeking information by following links to pages of information. A relatively new technology is based on a system where users subscribe to information services which automatically deliver customised information to the user's computer, so called 'push' technology. Thus, rather than going out and seeking information, you just sit back and let information come to you. This assumes that you can rely on the information provider knowing exactly what information you would like to receive and also not swamping you with advertisements. The technology is still in its infancy, however, several applications have already been found e.g. delivering news, weather reports, sports results and share prices. Some of the software that provides push technology include Castanet and Pointcast. New versions of Netscape and Explorer will include push technology, so in the future all you will have to do is turn on your computer and information will be delivered to your doorstep!
There have been several new developments on PharmWeb in the last few months as our access statistics continue to break records. One of the previously reported developments was the installation of a secure server at PharmWeb. The first use of this technology has been the implementation of on-line registration for FIP membership. FIP members can now renew their membership by simply filling in an on-line registration form. Information is encrypted prior to being sent to FIP. For further information have a look at the FIP web site (http://www.pharmweb.net/fip.html). Another major development announced at Vancouver was the launch of a pharmaceutical care discussion group. The discussion group is for participants of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme of the Community Pharmacy Section of FIP. The aim of the discussion group is to support pharmacists who want to implement pharmaceutical care into their practice. For further information have a look at http://www.pharmweb.net/cpd.html.
As usual, if you have found any interesting sites on the Internet that we have not listed on PharmWeb and that may be of interest to the pharmacy community, please let us know.

Slept good but disappointed with dirty pool, poor internet connection and lack of response
ByHard Working Couple
April 02, 2016
My husband and I paid a bit more to get a comfortable king suite with our minimum requirements being free breakfast, parking, internet and heated indoor pool. Our room was great except the internet conditions were poor. The pool was very cloudy with clumps of hair and other objects floating in it. I reported it to the front desk after checking in and indicated this was important to our stay. Day 2: there was no change. I asked the front desk again if they had a resolution. They said they did have it on the list and would get to it. After indicating my concern about it, they suggested I use a sister property's pool a few miles down the road, but I would have to talk to that site's manager to get a key pass to it and didn't do anything to facilitate that (a note, a call or even an attempt to express an apology for the inconvenience). I was very disappointed about their indifference to customer satisfaction. When we checked out on the 3rd day, the pool was in the same condition and there was no follow-up from the staff. They didn't ask how our stay was when we checkout and returned our keys.
The internet connection was poor which impacted my home-like atmosphere rating. I was unable to load a simple page with pictures on Facebook after trying both the land line and WIFI. Had I required it for business during this trip, I would have left. Instead I use my phone.
Two of our four minimum requirements were not met at this hotel. We paid more because there was a 3 star rating and positive reviews. However, I now see we got more of a 2 star hotel and had better options for less with more concern over customer satisfaction.
Good option for families
April 02, 2016
We selected this hotel based on the fact that we would be able to accommodate our family of 5 in one room--we had a one-bedroom suite with two double beds in a bedroom and a sofa in the living area. I've stayed in all-suite hotels before and had expectations for roomier suites--the bedroom was so small that with two double beds, there was hardly room to move around. The room was acceptable in terms of its cleanliness but showed wear with scratches on the closet door and a burn mark in the sofa cushion. The "social" was a nice bonus, but don't count on it for dinner--you can count on a basic lettuce salad along with either hot sandwiches (hot ham, BBQ chicken) or unimpressive chicken noodle soup to go along with it., two kinds of beer on tap as well as a couple of wine choices and terrific cookies. It was a nice perk after a busy day to grab a quick bite before heading out to get dinner. The floor in the food area always felt sticky under my feet and the common space/dining area had popcorn on the floor around the sofa and fireplace when I got up early one morning (6:30) so no one had cleaned the area before the breakfast was served. Overall, a decent, basically clean place to stay in Hot Springs.

Mike Heideman completed his sixth season at Washington State University and third as the director of player development and operations in 2008-09. Heideman came to WSU with former head coach Dick Bennett in 2003, whom he was an assistant to at Wisconsin-Green Bay from 1986-95.
At WSU, Heideman served as an assistant coach from 2003-06 and as the director of player development/operations from 2006-09. At WSU his duties included serving as the academic liaison and organizing community events, as well as day-to-day and game day coaching duties. In his stint as director of player development/operations, 10 Cougars earned Pacific-10 First Team All-Academic honors, two earning Pac-10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
During his time as an assistant at UWGB, Heideman coordinated all recruiting efforts and played an integral role in UWGB capturing the Mid-Continent Conference regular season title in 1992 and 1994. During that era, Heideman helped guide the Phoenix to Mid-Continent Tournament Championships and NCAA Tournament automatic berths in 1991 and 1994. He also helped lead UWGB to a Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament title and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1995.
Following the 1994-95 season, Heideman succeeded Bennett as the head coach of the Phoenix and found immediate success. He led UWGB to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference regular season championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament during his first season (1995-96). His team was ranked as high as 22nd by the Associated Press and 23rd in the USA Today/CNN Coaches poll.
Heideman's efforts earned him the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year in 1996. He was also selected as the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) District 11 Coach of the Year and Wisconsin Collegiate Coach of the Year in 1996.
During his seven seasons at UWGB, Heideman compiled a record of 110-95. He spent one season as an assistant at Valparaiso before joining the Cougars' staff in April 2003.
Prior to UWGB, Heideman was the head men's basketball coach at St. Norbert College (1982-86), an NCAA Division III school in DePere, Wis. He was selected NABC Division III Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 1984 and received the Contribution to Basketball Award for the State of Wisconsin in 1986. His 66-25 mark at St. Norbert's gives him a career record of 176-120 in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
In addition to his collegiate background, Heideman owns high school coaching experience at Xavier in Appleton, Wis., and Augusta (Wis.). In 11 seasons, Heideman compiled a prep record of 158-52.
He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education from Wisconsin-LaCrosse. He and his wife Sally have two sons, David and Timothy.
