Ariel Sharon, one of Israel's most famous leaders, may have only days left to live.
The former Prime Minister has been in a coma since suffering a major stroke in 2006. Now doctors say his kidneys are shutting down and other major organs are in decline.
Sharon had been one of Israel's top generals, well-known for his victories over the Egyptian army in the Sinai Desert during the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War.
He took a hard line on defending Israel and supporting building Jewish settlements in Palestinian controlled territory. But near the end of his career he oversaw the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza strip, which is now controlled by Hamas.

I'm Drinking Alcohol Every Night. Is it okay?
Q: Hello, i am a 35 male who has been drinking 375ml of white bacardi rum every night since i was 21 years old, i drink it every night between 9:30 and 11:30, i drink it because it relaxes me and i am able to sleep better,aside from small hangovers that consist of light head throbbing i don't notice any problem, i enjoy this ritual, can i continue or will i die before i'm 50 if i continue. i exercise 3 times a week and don't go over 375ml.ps. when i said i drink every night i mean every night.
I am confronted with these type of questions daily in my practice.
Some individuals, like yourself, would like to know when they will feel the negative effects of their habits.
Other individuals, support their negative habits by pointing out nothing has happened yet and therefore will never happen in the future.
All I can say is that in medicine we can not predict your future health out come but we can predict what is more probable to happen in you as opposed to someone without your habits. Genetics of course plays a strong role in outcome as well.
The only thing I can say is that there are consequences to not living an active, productive life with moderation of dietary habits. The consequences of continued high alcohol ingestion is liver cirrhosis and failure. Once liver disease is in an advanced stage, there are no cures and treatments are of limited benefits.

Patients' perceptions of coercion in admission may affect their attitude toward subsequent treatment, including their inclination to adhere to treatment plans. This study looks at the determinants of patients' perceptions of coercion.
A sample of 157 patients admitted to a rural Virginia state hospital and a Pennsylvania community hospital were interviewed within 48 hours of admission about their experience of coming to the hospital. All subjects were 17 years or older. Diagnoses were diverse, and 42% were involuntarily committed. The interview gathered an openended description of the admission experience followed by a structured interview that included several measures.
Perceptions of being respectfully included in a fair decision-making process ("procedural justice") and legal status were most closely associated with perceived coercion, and a significant relationship was found with perceived negative pressures, ie, force and threats. However, only procedural justice was related to the perception of coercion at both sites and with both voluntary and involuntary patients.
Patients' feelings of being coerced concerning admission appears to be closely related to their sense of procedural justice. It may be that clinicians can minimize the experience of coercion even among those legally committed by attending more closely to procedural justice issues.

April 3 2015By Jimmy Nguyen, Food and Nutrition Service -- Sometimes Mother Nature and hard work come together to produce a bountiful harvest on the farm. But what if the grocery store, distributor, or processor that the farmer sells to can't handle any excess? Or, what if a percentage of the crop turns out too big, too small, or oddly shaped and no one will buy it? Organizations across the country are working with farmers to get this wholesome produce to people who need it.
April 2 2015By Kelly Flynn, National Institute of Food and Agriculture -- Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents over the past 30 years, leading to increased risks for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and breathing problems. Researchers from the University of Maine have developed the 4-H iCook project to tackle this issue in the home. The program encourages families to cook, eat, and exercise together while improving culinary skills and increasing physical activity
March 31 2015By Rosalie Bliss, Agricultural Research Service -- Even if you're not among the 68 percent of U.S. adults who are overweight or obese, many consumers are striving to get a leg up on their nutritional health. Some of the simplest government facts can inspire consumers to better nutrition.
March 30 2015By Sasha Bard, MS, RD, Nutritionist, USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion -- MyPlate can be used to teach students of all ages about healthy eating. Start early and introduce preschoolers to fruits and vegetables through garden-themed nutrition education using the Grow It, Try It, Like It! Nutrition Education Kit. Elementary school teachers can integrate nutrition education into other subjects including Math, Science, English Language Arts, and Health with Serving Up MyPlate: A Yummy Curriculum
March 27 2015By Amanda Heitkamp, Public Affairs Specialist, Food and Nutrition Service -- Schools are successfully serving more nutritious meals to America's students, and healthier meals mean healthier kids. USDA is constantly working to do everything we can to support school nutrition professionals as they work to provide kids the nutrition they need to learn and develop into healthy adults.
March 24 2015By Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture; Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education and Sylvia Burwell, Secretary of Health and Human Services -- Every parent has dreams for their child. We want them to grow up strong and healthy. We tell them to dream big and work hard so that they can be anything they want to be. We want them to take the world by storm.
March 23 2015By Tricia L. Psota, PhD, RDN, Nutritionist, USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion -- There are many ways to engage a community in healthy eating! Create a community garden, start a cooking club, offer nutrition classes . . . the list goes on and on. During National Nutrition Month® and throughout the year, find a variety of ways to lead your community into a healthier future with MyPlate.
March 23 2015Cross-posted from the White House Council of Economic Advisers blog -- Last year, the President directed Vice President Biden to lead a review of federal job training programs in order to identify and implement steps to make these programs more "job-driven" and responsive to the needs of employers. The idea was that — even as the economy continues to recover, with more open jobs than at any point since 2001 — we need to do more to make sure that we are giving workers the skills they need to compete for those jobs.
March 19 2015By Tricia L. Psota, PhD, RDN, Nutritionist, USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion -- Practice healthy habits at work! Throughout the work day, find ways to eat healthy and be active. Whether you pack your lunch or grab takeout, make half your plate fruits and vegetables and choose whole-grain when available. Keep healthy snacks on hand, such as low-fat yogurt, a trail mix of dried fruit and unsalted nuts, or hummus dip and veggies, to help you resist the office candy bowl when hunger strikes
March 16 2015By Asha Brundage-Moore, Community Meal Programs, FNS -- At USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, we often get the chance to discuss how WIC and our school lunch and breakfast programs boost the nutritional lives of millions. But did you know that each day our Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) provides over 3.3 million children and 120,000 adults nutritious meals and snacks that contribute to their wellness, healthy growth and development?

Investors Wednesday can once again try to parse statements from Fed officials and speculate on when the next rate rise may happen.
Corrections Corp. (CXW) said late Tuesday that it would restructure corporate operations and implement a plan to cut costs.
The stocks that stand to do well under a Donald Trump presidency pointed to good things in the week leading up to the showdown.
Trump last week discussed his medical history with Dr. Oz and duped the media into broadcasting an endorsement event. Stocks that could prosper under his presidency made similarly odd moves.

United States
Call for Papers Date:

Announcement ID:
Revolution and Innovation: At the Hub of Discovery
The ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference in Boston, MA will explore revolution and innovation within art librarianship and visual resources librarianship as new technologies, economic changes and other factors transform our profession. Rapid change creates opportunities to embrace new ways of exploring the issues librarians face daily. How have you responded to the changes in the information landscape? What innovative methods have you developed to resolve the problems that have arisen from all these new developments? How have collaborations amongst colleagues, peers, institutions and more changed how you work?
Individuals are invited to submit proposals for papers that provoke critical exchange and debate as well as practical advice and solutions in relation to the broad thematic areas referred to below. Submissions are encouraged that support opportunities for interaction between participants and enable the conference to engage in a truly interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and viewpoints.
Individuals wishing to contribute paper abstract proposals for the ARLIS/NA 38th Annual Conference must submit a 250 word abstract for review by the Conference Program Committee. All abstracts must be submitted electronically using the online form at:
The abstract submission deadline is June 22, 2009. Abstracts received after the submission deadline will automatically be placed on the waiting list
Please see below for complete abstract guidelines. Incomplete abstracts will not be reviewed.
Thematic Areas
The following themes have been identified as the main interests of conference attendees from the conference evaluation and planning surveys. The themes are purposefully broad. The questions have been written to prompt and suggest possible platforms for discussion and debate. The Program Committee welcomes responses that extend and develop these themes in areas that will engage attendees in sharing different perspectives and provoke speculation about the future direction and development of art librarianship in the twenty first century.
Future of Art and Visual Resources Librarianship
o As academic institutions look to cut their budgets, will art/architecture/visual resources libraries become merged with main libraries? Is this an opportunity?
o Digital libraries and repositories will begin taking advantage of full text searchability. Where do catalogers fit into this new view of access?
o Considering today's tight budgets, how much metadata is enough when working with less support?
o How do you increase your visibility on campus? What novel ways do you advocate for your library's services?
o How have you developed grant proposals for projects in your library? What were the challenges and what surprised you?
o How do you satisfy customers in an increasingly 24/7 instant access world? What do you do differently?
o Going beyond statistics, how do you know that you are providing patrons with the services and resources that they want? What are some inventive and successful measures that your library has taken to determine patron satisfaction?
o Do corporate or business customer service practices such as "secret shoppers" have a place in libraries? Have any libraries used any of these methods successfully?
Collection Development
o In light of the current economic climate, what strategies have you developed to provide quality resources for your community?
o How do we provide access to information and ideas that are being created in technologies that have not been traditionally supported by libraries? How do we preserve that knowledge?
o Is this an opportunity for collaborative collection development? Why or why not will collaborative collection development take root?
o How do libraries balance fulfilling the patron's desire for digital content with the realities of the heavily print nature of art, architecture and design publishing?
Emerging Technologies
o How have you successfully created solutions using emerging technologies such as open source programs, mobile technologies, mashups and more?
o Taking advantage of new technologies, what unique projects have you successfully collaborated on with your colleagues (library, IT, etc.)?
Reference and Instruction
o With reduced staffing, who should be answering questions at the reference desk?
o What are some strategies being employed by libraries to provide reference and instruction to distance students/faculty?
o How have libraries developed instruction that integrates into the studio culture?
o How are information and visual literacy programs being successfully integrated into curricula?
Visual Resources
o The value of visual resources libraries is being questioned in some institutions. What are the strategies that can be employed to educate institutions and administrators about the value of such collections? How do you promote these collections to faculty and students who prefer Flickr databases and web searching?
o Are there new paradigms for the building of and access to visual collections that we should be moving towards?
Abstract guidelines can be found in the online submission form.

I agree about Ottawa.
I also think the Habs rode a hot goalie ALL season. Price is going to have a mortal year and the Habs don't have the line-up to be any better than the 6-8th spot.
Pittsburgh will miss, Boston will miss.
Florida's not quite there yet. Neither are the Sabres.
Columbus will make it in.
Hopefully Detroit has home ice in the first round, but I'll settle for making it in.
Going to be tight

FORT BENNING, Ga. Aca,!" A local Army Reserve unit with a mission to groom noncommissioned officers for Drill Sergeants School has opportunities for Soldiers getting out of active duty.
The Columbus-based 3rd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment, is seeking Infantrymen and Soldiers in other military occupational specialties to fill a range of openings, said Maj. Ceci Riedel, the battalion operations officer. Positions are available for NCOs in pay grades E-5 to E-7, first lieutenants and captains.
Aca,!A"11B is the most needed MOS but any MOS can be accepted,Aca,!A? she said. Aca,!A"Our greatest need is for company (executive officers) and commanders. There is great opportunity for career progression within the unit and we strive to place our Soldiers in the positions where they can learn and advance.Aca,!A?
Riedel said there are major advantages to joining the Army Reserve. Programs such as the Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces puts Soldiers in touch with corporations that value the traits and knowledge service members possess. Other benefits include pay for various missions, continuation of Tricare and more time at home.
Aca,!A"The biggest thing is opportunity,Aca,!A? she said. Aca,!A"In the Army Reserve, your career is truly in your hands, both as a Soldier and a civilian.Aca,!A?
The 3rd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment, consists of 146 Soldiers, a command element and five drill sergeant companies: three at Fort Benning and two in northwest Florida. Its higher headquarters Aca,!" 1st Brigade, 98th Division (Institutional Training) Aca,!" also is in Columbus.
The battalion maintains a company mobilization rotation that allows Soldiers to train and plan ahead, Riedel said. On average, each company completes a 12-month activation every four years.
Aca,!A"Our routine assignment is to train Soldiers in basic combat training at Sand Hill,Aca,!A? she said. Aca,!A"In addition, we may also be tasked to assist other units with training they may need, anything from ROTC cadets to pre-deployment training. Those assignments can be one week to 70-plus days in length and are filled by Soldiers from our other companies who are not in line to mobilize.Aca,!A?
Riedel said the battalion hopes to be fully staffed with drill sergeant-qualified NCOs and company command teams in the near future, but pinpointing a specific recruiting goal or time frame is difficult because of constant fluctuations in its personnel roster.
Being in the Army Reserve offers the Aca,!A"best of both worlds,Aca,!A? she said.
Aca,!A"You continue to serve our country as a Soldier and have a civilian career,Aca,!A? she said. Aca,!A"Many reservists work side by side with their active-component counterpart and the full-time Soldier has no idea they are a reservist. The reserves are well trained, not only in their MOS but also in the civilian occupation they have chosen.Aca,!A?
The local battalion and brigade are set to move into a new state-of-the-art Army Reserve facility on Fort Benning by this fall, Riedel said.
WHOAca,!a,,cS ELIGIBLE FOR THE ARMY RESERVE'
The U.S. Army Reserve is open to high school graduates between ages 17 (with parent signature) and 34 who are U.S. citizens. To learn more about the entry qualifications, people should contact their local recruiting office.
Applicants interested in joining 3rd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment, in Columbus must be prior service or currently serving with a rank no lower than sergeant, be able to meet height and weight requirements, and pass the Army physical fitness test with a minimum of 70 points in each event. Soldiers also must interview for a position.
* For more information, contact unit administrator John Adams Sr. at 706-561-4072 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

SIMPLE WISDOM for LIFE'S HARD QUESTIONS
By Lori Deschene
Red Wheel / Weiser, LLCCopyright © 2012 Lori Deschene

No matter who you are, no matter what you have, no matter what you've achieved, you've hurt at some point in your life. Of the six universal emotions psychologists have identified—happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, and anger—the majority indicate pain.
Most of us know that what our grandmothers said was true: "This too shall pass." But it doesn't always seem that way in the moment. When all those pain-induced hormones flood your body, pushing you into survivor mode, it can feel like some catastrophic turn of events has irreparably damaged your life—like your world has permanently fallen apart. If you don't worry hard enough, things might never change. If you don't get angry enough, you'll be accepting that what happened was okay. If you don't get bitter enough, you're opening yourself up to more of that same disastrous hurt.
No. It doesn't work that way. No matter how justified we feel in our emotions, stewing in them is never the answer to making them go away. Stressing by itself can't create a solution—any solution, let alone a rational one. Anger doesn't punish the people or circumstances that hurt us; it punishes us. And bitterness doesn't protect us from pain down the line; if anything, it invites it.
Emotions are not resolutions—and yet we have to let ourselves feel them. Suppressing emotional pain more often than not just creates more of it. This is where it gets confusing: If we're not supposed to resist our feelings, how do we know when to let them go? How can we both allow ourselves to feel what we need to feel and be sure we don't let the present moment pass us by?
In 2003, I sublet a small, unfurnished studio in New York City for a few weeks to figure out how I'd survive if I moved there to pursue my acting dreams. It was in August, and the Times Square area was like a sauna crammed with people sitting arm-to-arm, on laps, and on laps on top of laps, except no one was actually sitting still—we were all trying to get to different places with that New York sense of urgency.
A couple hours after I got the apartment keys, I headed out to hit up the ATM and pick up groceries and other supplies. While I was on my way to the corner store, Manhattan went dark. I didn't know it at the time, but New York was part of multistate power outage. The traffic lights went black, which gave pedestrians the green light to storm the streets, causing massive traffic jams. People began rushing into convenience stores to get provisions for the hours ahead. It was total chaos, and I felt panicked.
I didn't have any cash—or food or candles or a plan of attack. So I sat on a curb, leaned up against a mailbox, and tried to control my breath. Apparently I was more gasping and panting than inhaling and exhaling because a man squatted down, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, "Honey, are you okay?" I didn't see that coming—and I also didn't expect he'd listen to me ramble about just arriving, not having any cash, and fearing I might need to sell my body for a sandwich, a flashlight, or both. Without flinching, he gave me $5 and pointed me toward a store. Crammed with panicked, sweating people, the inside reeked, like body odor and cottage cheese after extended time in a beach bag. I was able to grab a bottle of water, but I didn't have enough for food, and the options were getting slim as other people rushed to grab what they could. The woman behind the register gave me a roasted half-duck, and took down my credit card info to charge at a later date. I had food and water; now all I needed was light. Naturally, $5 flashlights were going for over $20 a pop on the street—good old supply and demand. So I ducked into a restaurant, told the bartender my story, and left with seven tea lights.
It was increasingly crowded on the route to my apartment, so I paused in Times Square, which was kind of awesome in its darkness—now that I knew all my basic needs were met. It was like going backstage before a Broadway play, seeing the man-made framework behind the illusion of magic. In fact, it was very similar, since all kinds of people were gathering around musicians putting on impromptu shows. I struck up a conversation with the girl next to me, telling her how surprised I was that New Yorkers were so friendly and willing to lend a hand, even with their own needs to attend to. She said New Yorkers band together during crises, particularly after 9/11. They look out for each other, and they're a lot more compassionate and helpful than the cliché might indicate.
I can't remember her name, but I'll never forget what she told me next: both her father and her boyfriend died in the Twin Towers. In one day, only a couple years before our chance encounter, she lost the two people who mattered most to her in life. They say some deaths are senseless when you imagine they could have been prevented, but death rarely, if ever, makes sense—particularly not when it comes as part of something so deplorably inhumane. I looked at her sitting there, strong, intact, no different looking than I was or anyone else who hasn't known such grief. I wondered how she could go out in the daylight, looking peaceful in the world, knowing firsthand how tragedy can strike so unexpectedly. I looked deeply into her eyes in a potentially invasive way, searching for signs of pervasive inner turmoil. Having endured such a horrific tragedy, she must be a shell of a person, I thought, particularly so soon after her losses.
Then I remembered where I was right before I learned about the 9/11 attacks. I was festering in bed, six prescription bottles on my nightstand, wondering who'd come to my funeral if I died. I'd been in therapy for almost a decade, and yet I still suspected I'd spend the rest of my life feeling alone, miserable, and confined like a prisoner within the deafening cruelty of my mind. I was a chubby, overdeveloped twelve-year-old the first time a boy groped me and called me a whore in the school hallway. After years of hearing "fat slut" from both boys and girls alone and in packs and being grabbed without my consent, I'd begun to believe my consent wasn't necessary. Once, a girl from a neighboring school told me, "I've heard you're thinking of changing schools. Don't bother. Everyone everywhere knows you're a worthless whore." From that point on, I truly believed this was fact—that everyone I met somehow already knew how pathetic and worthless I was. A decade later, at twenty-two, I still felt trapped under layers of shame and regret, like dozens of lead-filled X-ray aprons piled one on top of the other. I'd tried to starve it away, stuff it away, drink it away, and fight it away, but nothing changed that I felt trapped within my offensive, unlovable skin.
I called my aunt to complain about my misery; I had a roster of regular listeners who indulged my desperation. Not a few seconds into my woe-is-me story, she asked me, "Lori, how can you be thinking about yourself? Don't you know what's happening in the world?" I didn't have any idea. I turned on the television and saw the footage. They kept showing the towers going down, like sand castles slowly crumbling, and a part of me felt like it wasn't real. I knew that people were hurting and that I should be outraged. But I'd numbed my own feelings for so long that it felt nearly impossible to feel for people far removed from me and my debilitating apathy. I'd seen therapist after psychiatrist after pharmacist; I was on anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers. My whole life was about making sure I didn't have to feel. But how could I see such tragedy and not feel? And even worse, how could I be seeing it and still be so concerned with what I was doing and feeling? What was wrong with me that I was so absorbed in what was wrong with me?
The truth, as messy as it sounds, is that the only way out is through.
That's the thing about feelings: Sometimes we resist them, and then we sit around feeling more feelings about our feelings, drowning in reactive emotions. We remember what happened and wonder what, if anything, we did to provoke it. We wonder what we could have done to prevent it. We wonder if we deserved it. We think about how unfair things are and how we wish we could go back in time to change them. We think about how we handled things, and if maybe we could have made other choices to change the outcome of what it is. And then after all this resistance, we wonder what's wrong with us for struggling so much in our own self-absorption. After all, there are so many other worse things going on in the world.
The truth, as messy as it sounds, is that the only way out is through. And the only way to let go is to truly believe in the possibility of a different way of being—to know in our head and in our heart that we can live a life that doesn't revolve around having been hurt or fearing future pain. We don't always realize it when we're sitting in our own self-destructed ground zero, but there will be a day when we feel better—if we just let ourselves go through it. Everything gets better with time; how much time is up to us. It's dependent on when we choose to change the stories we tell about our lives; when we decide to spend more time creating the life we want than lamenting the hand we've been dealt; and when we realize that no one's love, forgiveness, or acceptance can be as profoundly healing as our own.
Maybe if I stopped trying to control how I hurt, I'd feel a pain that would teach me what I need to do to love life more and need pain less.
As I looked at my new friend, vulnerable and yet so resilient, I wanted to love and heal her. I couldn't see it, but I knew she must be cracked beneath the surface. I imagined that she cried, screamed, and wailed herself through lonesome, traumatic nights. I visualized her collapsing into the arms of people she loved—other survivors who understood. I wanted to take it all away. I wanted to save her from a suffering that I could only imagine ate away at her soul day and night. I wanted to be her Prozac. I wanted to make her numb to the reality of her losses.
Then I realized that in that moment, she didn't need a hero. In that moment, she was existing independent of her tragic past. She wasn't heaving, having flashbacks, or fighting with the injustices of the world. She was responding to what was in front of her. She was eating a salad, albeit a wilting one; listening to music she seemed to enjoy; and acknowledging me, an absolute stranger sharing a once-in-a-lifetime experience within an eerily tame Times Square. She didn't need someone to take the pain away forever, because she was taking forever one minute at a time.
We all choose from moment to moment where we focus our attention and what we tell ourselves. We're always going to want to have more of the good things, less of the bad things, and a greater sense of control over the distribution. While we can't control that life involves hurting, we can control how long we endure it and what we do with it.
To a large degree, it's irrelevant to question why we have to suffer, since that just prolongs acceptance of what is. But it's human nature to want to understand. If we're going to form conclusions, they might as well be empowering ones that help us work through pain and let go. With that in mind, I asked on Twitter, "Why is there suffering in the world?"
Suffering should be used as a teacher. This teacher will teach you about yourself and the world around you. ~@d1sco_very
There is suffering in the world to make people wiser and stronger. ~@ittybittyfaerie
Without suffering no lessons will be learned; without suffering none will be necessary. ~@andrew2pack
We experience suffering to understand and realize our true strength. Pain leads us to improve our quality of life and open to love. ~@ditzl
Do not seek justification for suffering. There is none. Accept its existence and learn from it. ~@Mark10023
It's a natural human instinct to resist pain and to avoid its causes at all costs. In fact, we experience a biological response to perceived danger that tells us when to run for our lives—or in some cases, when to sit around stressing about our inability to run as quickly as we'd like. Just like an animal senses it might be eaten and receives an increase in adrenaline, enabling escape, early humans also developed a fine-tuned fight-or-flight response to survive in a dangerous world. It originates in the amygdala—the part of the brain that creates fear conditioning.
The only difference between us now and us then is that instead of being attacked by lions, as we may have been centuries ago, we're more likely to get in romantic squabbles or professional confrontations. More often than not, when we start kicking and screaming, there's little if any real threat; there's the just the fear of something potentially uncomfortable. We know intellectually that a disagreement or challenge at work won't kill us—and that stressing won't do anything to change what was or what will be. But we've conditioned ourselves to fight for control over our circumstances; and when that control seems to slip away, we panic. It's an ironic way of avoiding discomfort, but sometimes we make ourselves miserable to be sure that nothing or no one else can. We choose to hurt ourselves through stress and dread just to be sure we're prepared when something else could potentially hurt us.
We can take almost anything that hurts and recycle it into something good once we're ready to learn from it.
On the other end of the spectrum, we've historically romanticized pain. We're always consuming survivor stories, watching movies and online videos about success after extreme adversity, and channeling our inner Nietzsche—telling ourselves that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. To some degree, this is good, because we're reminding ourselves that it is possible to bounce back after a difficult time. But it's almost as if we imagine the greater the pain, the greater the spirit; or the harder the journey, the more rewarding the destination. It's as if we believe the one who hurts the most learns the most and has the most to give the world. Or perhaps we linger in the exhausting act of trying to control the chaos because that allows us to avoid acknowledging the gap between who we are and who we want to be.
In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle explains that we hold on to problems because they give us a sense of identity. This has been true for me. For years, I focused all my pain into the will to wither away. After weeks of surviving on a small selection of Sweet'N Low—flavored, low-calorie blandness, I'd feel shooting pains in my chest, like my heart was trying to escape its prison. My abdominal muscles would contract and spasm inside the cavern that was my stomach, while my mind spun in a psychedelic hypnotizing swirl. I'd collapse, clammy and wobbly, to the floor just outside the bathtub and pray that my brother or sister would walk by the door and hear me panting shallow requests for help to my bed. I was always waiting for someone to rescue me, while secretly hoping they wouldn't jeopardize my status as someone who always needed to be saved.
Eventually I'd crawl my way to the kitchen where I'd lay with my cheek against the cool tile, nibbling on a saltine, secure in the knowledge I had to feel only one knowable bodily pain. With such extreme physical weakness and the possibility of severe malnourishment, there was just no need to think about anything else that hurt in my life. Nothing else was as dangerous and life-threatening. The weightiness of this problem, juxt aposed against my own spectacular physical lightness, obscured the reality of my deep emotional hurt. Within this persistent suffering, I felt good at avoiding pain. It took years for me to consider that maybe if I stopped trying to control how I hurt, I'd feel a pain that would teach me what I need to do to love life more and need pain less. That maybe if I released the torture that made me feel safe, I'd wade through the discomfort of what was really bothering me so that I could live a life less defined by pain.
When we identify where we're hurting and why, whether it's something physical or emotional, we have the power to understand its cause and do something about it. But that means we have to be willing to let go of all the drama, comfort, and maybe even pride that accompany a sad story to make way for a better one. Before we can learn from our pain to make positive change in our lives, we have to learn how to want pain less. Once we decide to stop clinging, chasing, and controlling pain, then we have immense power to shape our worlds.
We can take almost anything that hurts and recycle it into something good once we're ready to learn from it. If you're hurting over trouble in your relationship, your pain may be teaching you that you need to find the strength to walk away. If you're hurting because people don't seem to like you, your pain may be teaching you that you need to stop depending on approval for your overall well-being. If you're hurting because your thoughts are tormenting you, your pain may be teaching you that you alone are the cause of your deepest suffering, and that in accepting that, you have the power to set yourself free. Of course this all depends on the most important question: are you ready to be free?

You never know what you'll find on vacation
By George Way/Antiques
September 16, 2010, 1:49PM
A few weeks ago, a friend and I took off for the Green Mountains of Vermont for a short vacation and some New England antiquing. On the drive up, we stopped at Plymouth Notch, the boyhood home and final resting place of President Calvin Coolidge and one of the most peaceful and beautiful hamlets in all of New England....

A few months ago my friend Nancy asked me if I would like to join her for the opening of the Henri Matisse exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. Although I am not that well versed in modern art, I thought it would be a great idea since it might open my eyes to a different... Full story »
Tilt-top tables were the rage in England, America in the 1700s
By George Way/Antiques
July 15, 2010, 12:46PM
Buying an antique table is not as easy as walking into a store and purchasing the first one you see. Few of us have money to burn, so it makes sense to read up on antique furniture and do some research before shopping. Recently a friend mentioned she needed a table on which she could place a lamp...

Collectors respond to the ringing of bells
By George Way/Antiques
June 17, 2010, 2:06PM
Not long ago, a friend showed me a bell his mother made use of when he was a young boy. When the family lived on a lake upstate, he and his father, the village doctor, enjoyed fishing together. His mother would ring the bell to summon the doctor home if his services were needed in an emergency, as well... Full story »
Buttons, buttons, who's got some buttons?
By George Way/Antiques
May 20, 2010, 1:09PM
Not long ago, I spied a young gentleman wearing an unusual jacket with buttons that piqued my curiosity. I approached him and asked where he'd gotten the buttons and he replied that they'd belonged to his late father. He said they were military buttons and that he'd sewn them onto his jacket believing it would be a way... Full story »

Double egg cup made for double dipping

April 16, 2010, 5:24AM
Enclosed is a photo of a green egg cup that has been in the family for years. It has an opening on both ends and is in perfect condition. It has no manufacturer's mark. Why does it have an opening on both ends? Can you identify the maker — even though it is unmarked — its age and its... Full story »
All that glitters is not silver
By George Way/Antiques
April 15, 2010, 11:41AM
About a month ago, a friend called to tell me about a pair of candlesticks he'd just purchased to display on the mantel of his new fireplace. Beautiful and decorative, they probably dated to the late 18th or early 19th century. These early candlesticks were not fabricated of sterling silver, but of something called old Sheffield plate, a... Full story »
Early pewter was beautiful, but dangerous
By George Way/Antiques
March 18, 2010, 11:22AM
Back when I first got involved in collecting, almost everyone I knew was searching for early pewter items; everything from charger plates to tankards and spoons. Prices were high for these newly "in" antiques, but that didn't stop the astute collector from accumulating some rare and interesting pieces. Interest is not quite so high today as it was...

Pottery continues to be an exciting field for collectors
By George Way/Antiques
February 19, 2010, 9:00AM
I recently ran into an old friend who told me she now dabbles in and collects pottery and various types of porcelain items. Asked whether she collected a specific period, she said she collected what she liked, no matter what its age, adding that, if it "speaks to her," she knows she can live with it. Actually, that's how... Full story »

There's only one left in the world for sale — the other seven variations are... Full story »

Revival furniture stands the test of time

Q. I would like to know if you can tell me the value of my bedroom furniture. I have enclosed a photo of the night stand. The set also includes a bed frame, vanity with a mirror, chest-on-chest and dresser with a mirror. I believe it was made in the early 1900s, and it is in excellent condition. There... Full story »

Gelosea Lyrics
Artist: InMe
Album: Overgrown Eden
Why don't you came and feed me?
Feed me all my memories,
And I'll wash it down with all your goodness,
Your goodness,
I guess I won,
But I just can't seem to change,
You lied to me, You lied to me,
You don't even know my name,
There is good im me and it's proud to love you,
I chose to be a dreamer,
But your reality seems sweeter,
To taste it would turn my whole life around and around,
I am containing what is real for something I cannot conceal.

How Do Changes in Welfare Law Affect Domestic Violence? An Analysis of Connecticut Towns, 1990–2000
The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act transformed welfare from an ongoing cash assistance program by restricting participation through time limits and emphasizing rapid entrance into the labor force. Changes in welfare dependency induced by these legal reforms had the potential to impact rates of domestic violence. Using decennial census, welfare caseload, and police report data, this paper investigates the introduction of time limits and work mandates across Connecticut towns. For a variety of reasons, Connecticut proves to be an ideal laboratory from which to obtain evidence. We find that rates of domestic violence fell in Connecticut with the passage of the new welfare law, especially in towns most subject to the law's provisions. Using Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Report data, we also find evidence that such results hold independent of the reform's effects on other personal crimes and crimes in general.
