In April, when the yellow whinn,
Was out of doors, and I within,
And magpies nested in the thorn,
Where not a man of woman born
Might spy on them, save he be,
Content to bide indefinitely,
On Chaldon Heath hung from a pin,
A great man in a small thorn tree.
The golden gorse was all in bloom,
And I confined to my room,
And there confined to my bed,
As sick as mortal man can be,
A lady came from over the sea,
All for to say good-day to me.
With half it's flounces in her hand,
She came across the windy down,
She came, and pricked the furrowed land
With heels of slippers made for town.
All for to say good-day to me.
Her cheek was cool with channel fog.
Pale cowslip, from the sloping hedge,
And samphire, from the salty ledge,
And the sweet myrtle of the bog,
She brought me as I languished there.
But of the blackthorn, of the blue sloe,
No branch to lay a body low.
She came by way of Diffey's farm,
All in a green and silver frock,
With half its flounces in her arm.
She came to me by heath and rake,
And many and many a flinty mile,
She walked in April for my sake.
When inland from the Channel drove
the fog, and from the Shambles heard,
the horn above the hidden Rock.
To fly unseen from Durdle Door,
And left the shore.
And took a path without a name,
That led to Chaldon, and so came
Over the down to Chydyok.
All for to say good day to me.
As she shook out her skirts to dry.
And laughed, and looked me in the eye,
And gave me two cold hands to kiss.
That I be steadfast, that I lie,
And strengthen, and forbear to die.
All for to say that I must be,
Son of my sires, who lived to see,
The gorse in bloom at ninety-three,
All for to say good-day to me.

Expressions of a multidimensional intelligence on our three-dimensional plane, or even messages from outer space, preparing us for a world-changing event to occur in 2012? Where does this mysterious crop circle phenomena come from? Is it done by man as a joke? So why do people have extraordinary experiences then? Flying ball of lights were seen in and around crop circles. Or is it an alien intelligence which try to communicate with us? The geometry which can be found in crop circles, included a lot of mathematics which can be also found in nature. Our new documentary "New Swirled Order" deals with these questions and present some very extraordinary Crop circle formations in 2008, like the "Pi"-formation in Barbury Castle or the Crop Circle near Avebury Manor, which showed our solar system with the planetary constellation of December 21 of 2012.

Personally, I'd get a Nano, but I don't care for Khar's much and like the Nano I fired.
You can't put a P-11 back together? That's easy peasy. A P-11 sucks for many reasons (I have one and hate it) but reassembly should be one of them.
Again, I'm a fan of the Nano so if these are your options, that's where I'd go.

clients. Motivated audiences. Changed lives. No wonder Clebe is always in
demand when you consider: Once you've heard Clebe McClary speak, your

all. Thanks for making me, the program chairman, look so good! Steve Garris, Blue Ridge Conference on Leadership

dramatic impact Clebe had on our group. Carl Derrick,
South Carolina Farm Bureau
Clebe's absolutely terrific inspirational talk
in the morning set the tone for the rest of the conference. Everyone was UP and
enthusiastic as a result of his dynamic kickoff. Terry

Clebe was wonderful! I can't walk down the hall

heard!" Clebe is a powerful motivator. Best of all, he made me look absolutely
terrific! He is a meeting planner's dream! David L.

U.S. jury told HBO 'concocted' child labor report
By Tom Brown
(Reuters) - A federal jury in Manhattan heard charges about fiction masquerading as fact on Monday, at the opening of a trial in which HBO faces libel claims over a report on child labor in India.
The trial is the culmination of years of litigation over the report on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," which first aired in September 2008.
The report accused British sporting goods company Mitre Sports International of turning a blind eye to the use by contractors or subcontractors of underaged workers for the production of Mitre-branded soccer balls in India.
Mitre denies the charges and says it opposes child labor.
In his opening statements Lloyd Constantine, a lawyer for Mitre, said the evidence would show that children depicted in the report as stitching Mitre soccer balls for 5 cents per hour or less were induced to pretend on camera that they were child laborers.
"These poor kids are just characters," Constantine said, after jurors watched the 22-minute report.
Gumbel's Real Sports program "is supposed to report real news, not fiction," Constantine told the jury, as he went over segments of the report that he described as "concocted" or "flat-out lies."
"These scenes were all staged and HBO is very good at that. They make good movies," Constantine said. Continued...

"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"My son would not put down this card when we opened the box! He loved seeing himself pictured with all the bugs. The colors are bright, so I used the sepia effect on the two outer photos. It made my dominant pic stand out more."
"We were looking for some race car invites for our son's 2nd birthday. All of the ones we looked at (online) were bulky and too busy. We were so happy when we found this one because it goes with the theme but also is simple, easy to read, and a perfect size to place on the fridge. Colors are calming and the card stock is wonderful. I also like how you can add a photo to the back of the invite."
"I loved it..!!! This invitation card is very cute..Very happy with quality, design, colors and great card paper. Everyone likes it! I would definitely recommend this card to my family & friends. I loved it..!.!! Great job tiny print..Thank you!"
"Love the card, I only wish it came in 5 x 7. The quality, as always, is amazing but a choice in size would of made it simply perfect."

The Holistic Law Group educates and promotes the practice of law as a healthy, healing profession that is both beneficial and therapeutic for the client and fulfilling and rewarding for the practicing lawyer. The practice of law as a healing profession is a collaborative law movement that invites future practitioners to break down the polarization of the practice of law as either a complete focus on the client or merely a business of benefitting oneself in a material way. Through the development of proper skills, such as attentiveness and awareness, future attorneys will optimize their client satisfaction and their own in all areas of law. This is an organization for anyone who endeavors to learn more about the legal profession as a humanistic modem that truly impacts clients and practitioners. Through events and speakers, the student body and faculty will learn more about this permeating aspect of the practice of law.

We changed 1 value in the XMLs, instead of increasing the value from 1.0 to 1.25 we should have decreased the value to 0.75.
It's odd that LucasArts set a single XML value to keep the AI asleep, and that the other values had very little effect on gameplay. But this has been my experience all along. Seems like whatever setting I change the AI just sits there while I plow them over. Hey Ghostrider, what was the XML value you changed that made such a difference (from 1.0 to .75 )? And did setting all the other values back to default make for a balanced gameplay?

[Introductory note from Jason Pratt: the previous and first entry in this series of posts can be found here.]
Sometimes when the topic of religion (or theology, or philosophy, or metaphysics...) rises in conversation, one person will wave off the discussion with this type of dismissal: 'There isn't much point discussing such things, because such discussions cannot, by their very character, reach true answers.'
This person might also declare that anyone can argue validly to anything; or that an infinite number of true answers are possible. This type of person will express himself in several different ways; but his main position is that such discussions cannot be useful. [Footnote: I distinguish, however, between such a person and a person who wants to make some positive use of a claim that an infinite number of exclusively true answers are possible. I will discuss such a positive proposition later.]
Sometimes this tactic represents a head-in-the sand approach: the person doesn't want to discuss such things; so he excuses himself from the conversation on this ground, without really having thought out whether this proposal holds water or not. [Footnote: there is a difference, however, between a person who directly holds a belief that no metaphysical belief can be regarded as true; and a person who makes such a claim because he himself hasn't got a clue how to effectively judge between claims. The second person ought to say rather, that he has no idea which religion or philosophy is most true, rather than say no religion or philosophy can possibly reach adequate truth.]
By default, this position ends a debate before it has begun, by erecting a fortress mentality. However, I presume that you, my reader, do not hew to this sort of 'defense', or else you would never have picked up this [currently unpublished] book! If yet you do, and have somehow mistakenly reached this page, then let me say before you throw the book away: you are only deceiving yourself. You do have opinions about this general topic; those opinions do have grounds (of one sort or another); and if your opinions can only be preserved by pretending the grounds do not exist, then your position is perilous in the extreme--furthermore in other topics I suspect you would consider such willful blindness to be irresponsible. [Footnote: I do not spare some of my Christian or otherwise theistic brethren from this reprobation; a point I will develop more fully in following chapters.]
But it would be uncharitable, as well as false, to presume that all adherents of this tactic are taking an escape pod out of the conversation. Instead, such a person might be attempting to show charity: she does happen to hold a fairly strong and (as far as she can tell) well-grounded belief in a philosophical proposition set, which she knows her potential sparring partner disagrees with; and she also thinks this potential opponent will lose badly if they get into this discussion; and she happens to be a friend of this other person (or at least wants the general back-and-forth of discussion on other topics to continue without a serious emotional hitch). Therefore, to spare her comrade potential discomfort, she begs off with a bit of a white lie.
I can respect this use of the tactic; but it might require ignoring the question of whether the sparring partner would be better off with a clearer understanding of reality, which the user of this tactic could have been in a position to provide. Then again, perhaps this person would even agree with me about this principle, yet (understanding her own limitations) would still defuse the dispute because she doesn't think she herself can do necessary justice to the topic. Not only can I respect, I can admire this restraint--provided this is not a smokescreen for the escape pod I first described. At any rate, a person who uses this tactic out of charity would (secretly) agree with me that such discussions are not inherently useless; whereupon she could excusably skip the rest of this chapter [and the journal entries built on it].
Thus I reach, by elimination, the third category of person who might try this tactic: the person who really does believe that such questions are inherently unanswerable so that any dispute on these questions must be ultimately useless (even if occasionally entertaining--like a bit of swashbuckling stage theatrics!)
Unlike the facetious or charitable dodging of similar proponents, this person poses me a real problem. At the very best, even if I produce an ironclad argument, and even if he agrees it is ironclad, he will not accept the conclusions--and quite rightly, if he is correct and such questions cannot be adequately answered to any degree whatsoever (any possible appearances otherwise notwithstanding.)
He might agree that my argument looked interesting, was well-designed, and perhaps helped him think along some lines he had never considered before. But in the end it would all be for nothing, because he would be coming to the discussion with a fatal strike already leveled against anything I might say.
I do not think any positive argument-to-come, concerning God's existence and character (pro or con, to any degree), can be designed to defend against that lethal presumption. This is a notion that (strange as it may sound) transcends an argument about God, because it calls into question the very ability of such an argument to be what it claims to be.
Thus, I have a vested interest in trying to reconcile and communicate with this type of person before I continue. I do not want unstated presumptions of this sort lurking in the background to justify any flat rejection (or worse, outright misrepresentation) of what I will say later.
And, of course, there is no reason at all for me to continue if this person does happen to be right!
So, how might a pesron reach this position as a conclusion?
Perhaps this person has drawn an inference from his perception of the actual state of religion, philosophy and metaphysics: a wide, wild and bewildering admixture of beliefs ranging every possible topic, each with advocates who (in effect) claim their belief reflects reality as well as, or better than, any of the others. [Footnote: Ironically, this would also include proponents who are overtly trying to avoid claiming this! I will be discussing various reasons and stances of this sort later.] Furthermore, if he looks into past eras he will see the same conglomeration except with different players who often have different practical stances.
If, on the other hand, he looks into other purportedly 'rational' fields, such as chemistry or mathematics, he may find some disagreement concerning three or four options on a limited range of topics, but by and large the general principles at stake are not in contention (or at least don't seem to be so) among those thinkers.
And when he looks at fields where, because of intrinsic characteristics, final answers are in fact few and far between, and/or numerous discreet theories may equally well fit the facts at hand (such as in psychology or history), he sees nearly the same sprawl of theories as he perceives in metaphysics.
From these facts, he not unreasonably concludes (especially if he has no strong stake himself to defend, perhaps) from the resemblance of final effect, that metaphysics must be a topic where either no satisfactorily 'correct' answers may be obtained; or where an unknown number of discreetly opposite theories may sufficiently account for any data we have, thus giving us no reason to choose between them other than aesthetic taste, or something of that kind. And so, being an honest and self-critical person, he refuses to allow his own aesthetic taste to dictate what 'must' be objectively true.
I can certainly imagine myself working along those grounds; and I sometimes get this impression from correspondents and critics.
Please note that these people (by definition of the type I am describing here) are quite honest, and have drawn what seems to them to be the best decision possible from the evidence. I have as much respect for them as I do for someone who begs off the question to save the feelings of her friend.
But, I think they are making an honest mistake; and I have concluded this for the following reason:
The assertion (or conclusion, whatever the actual form of the contention) that 'No useful and/or true assertions or conclusions may ever be reached in philosophy, religion, etc.' is a self-contradictory statement, because the proposer has made a tacit exception in favor of the bit of philosophical truth he is advocating at the moment.
Let us say I am one of these negative agnostics (as I will call them). [Footnote: I also recognize a type of negative agnostic who goes this route in order to protect himself from having to recognize particular truth claims that he finds bothersome; but unlike the first category he insists on interfering in metaphysical discussions anyway. Such spurious opposition is merely a willful bar to serious discussion, and does not deserve to be more fully addressed.] I look around at the plethora of 'evidence' I have previously described, and I draw the conclusion: 'No useful and/or true conclusions may ever be reached in philosophy, religion, etc.'
What am I doing? I am making an exclusively definite statement about the character of reality: it definitely is (I think) such that no one can ever be correct in making exclusively definite statements about it.
But I am contradicting myself! If the character of basic reality is such that no one can ever be correct in making a definite statement about it (either as a conclusion or as an assertion), then neither can I be correct in making that definite statement about the way reality is!
Such a negative agnosticism therefore is self-defeating; for if it was true I would never have discovered it, nor would I be formally capable of asserting or defending it--I would literally have 'no reason' to accept or propose it as true!
So at least one definite aspect of ultimate reality may be discovered, or at least truly asserted.
The negative agnostic could now change his stance slightly and claim that only one thing can be definitely stated about reality: any other statement (except this one) about reality cannot be true even if it happens to look that way.
My first problem with this contention is that it relies on an unstated presumption: that no other cause for the wide range of positions in philosophy could be possible. How does our negative agnostic know this? The only definitively true statement we can discover about reality is that no other definitive statements about reality are possible; and we know this because no other explanation for the state of affairs can be true? But this is only saying the same thing over again, using a different grammatic construction to make the second statement seem like something different from the first statement.
I myself can imagine at least one other potential cause for our situation: the issues are subtle and deeply mixed with emotional associations in our minds, as well as with socio-historical and familial associations. This could easily explain a vast number of viewpoints, while still allowing the possibility that one viewpoint is truly more accurate than the others. [Footnote: Also, I happen to believe we have at least one set of supernatural enemies who have an interest in keeping us as conflicted as possible; but I understand that my sceptical reader won't buy this yet, and scepticism on this point doesn't eliminate other hypothetical causes being true.]
Furthermore, upon close study, it isn't difficult to find common themes shared by representatives of otherwise different viewpoints: a Muslim would agree with me that there is only one God, upon Whom all else depends and Who is the ultimate standard for our ethical judgments. We would disagree (in some cases very seriously) about certain metaphysical and historical questions, but we would agree about that. [Footnote: Come to think of it, we would largely agree in principle about the Enemy, too...!]
Shared viewpoints can be found linking all sorts of religions and philosophies to each other. So, we are not presented with a multitude of utterly exclusive views of reality; and even if we were, this might still be a result of subtle and emotional issues.
I can only record that I see no good reason to conclude that the only explanation for the proliferation of philosophies is that no philosophical position can be definitively true. (Barring that statement itself, of course!) The negative agnostic might reply that he just feels that if one of them (say, Christianity) represented the best truth, then some sort of provision would have been made to ensure that this truth (or a subcategory of it) was as clear as daylight to everyone--thus the dissension among the ranks shows that such discussion must be ultimately useless.
I would reply that if I attempted to ground any one given 'definitive' proposition about reality on a feeling such as this, our negative agnostic would either cut me off at the knees (knowing full well that such feelings, although objectively real experiences, are not valid grounds for such a proposition); or he would find his own intuitive feeling directly conflicting with it, whereupon he would have no way to distinguish which view reflects reality 'better'.
Therefore, I conclude that at least one definite characteristic of reality may be discovered; and I conclude that we have no clear grounds for concluding that the only definite characteristic of reality is its inability to otherwise be discovered. [Footnote: An opponent who merely 'asserts' (not 'discovers') such a characteristics, will be covered later.]
This opens a first door to a potentially meaningful discussion on this class of subjects.
I will in fairness note that the negative agnostic could, in the end, become another type of agnostic: he has fairly looked at x-number of philosophies and, to the best of his ability, has come away with no clearer understanding of what reality ultimately is than when he started. The difference for this agnostic, is that he would recognize the limitation to be one of his own, not necessarily a limitation of the topic itself. Presuming he is honest about this, I would consider this view (which I will call positive agnosticism) to be self-consistent as far as it goes; at least it does not nail shut the door to inquiry before the inquiry can begin. But then, for all he can tell before my analysis really gets started, he might not get that result from this book. So I am free to proceed.
[Next week: but, isn't there another set of tactics, similar in ends if not in means to those of the negative agnostics--among religious believers themselves?! Yep; so I need to think about them, too.]

The want for a reason,
A leftover sense of trust
residing in unbridled youth.
Her fate is not on my hands,
Yet I am tied to invariable thoughts,
And sent tumbling towards
vain attempts at garish songs,
To play out an aging cast
as they dream, then and there,
Beautiful and so close to gone.
The end is asleep and unwritten,
One look is never enough and I
torture myself more than required,
Likeness does not equate to life
even provided an Earthly choir,
But perhaps in the shadows
of further pain, the truth and
death will reconcile.
Lights beckons me along,
I remain still with you in sight;
Is it love that left me here to wait,
Or has fear held me all the while?
Descent may leave me broken
or torn, this I know,
But fate, it seems, will unfold
whether or not I don my soul.

RONNIE CUTRONE learned a lot about mixing art and money during his decade as Andy Warhol's assistant, but the lesson that seems to have stuck with him most is the one from the shark: keep moving or you die.
Last Monday night, Mr. Cutrone, 52, recalled Mr. Warhol's dedication to the next new thing as he bustled around the Rubber Monkey, a club in TriBeCa that he opened earlier this month. Mr. Cutrone said the decor was ''turn of the century, though we're not sure which century.'' The club has a subterranean dance space, a smoky lounge and a cabaret featuring fire-eaters, acrobats and the occasional opera singer. For Mr. Cutrone, the mix of downtown cool and high-end vaudeville makes the experience fresh. ''Andy and I were both only ever interested in one thing,'' he said. ''Beginnings.''
In fact, Mr. Cutrone has been notching his belt with beginnings for more than 35 years. At age 15, he started hanging out with rock upstarts like Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and became a go-go dancer with the Velvet Underground. At 20, he went to work for Mr. Warhol, and in 1979 helped design the Mudd Club, the apogee of glamour punk. Later, he built Club 82, which showcased Blondie and the New York Dolls. By the mid-80's he was a painter at the vanguard of the graffiti art movement and the live-in boyfriend of Tama Janowitz, whose self-involved character Stash in ''Slaves of New York'' was modeled after him.
In the last few years, he has stopped painting and performing to concentrate on promoting a younger generation of what he calls downtown divas. Most of them are women under 30. He books them at places like Joe's Pub; Siren, a month-old supper club on St. Marks Place; and the Rubber Monkey, the first club where he is actually an owner.Continue reading the main story
Nearly a dozen of Mr. Cutrone's entertainers were on hand Monday night at 7 for a preshow sitting with the photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, a friend of Mr. Cutrone's since the 1980's. Mr. Cutrone plans to use the pictures to pitch his clients to magazines.
Spanning the cultural rainbow, the women were dressed in everything from a Sally Bowles get-up to African princess regalia. He stood between Jenna Jones, a songwriter with a mohawk, and Lisa Zane, the sleek, dark-haired torch singer, who is the sister of the actor Billy Zane.
By 7:45, two limousines had pulled up outside. Mr. Cutrone and his business partner of four years, Stuart Bronz, 31, a disc jockey in a loudly ironic powder blue polyester suit, shepherded the young women inside.
At Mr. Greenfield-Sanders's soaring East Village studio, the women draped themselves fetchingly over couches as they waited their turns to be shot. Mr. Bronz and Mr. Cutrone shuttled among them, chatting and soothing egos. ''Stu and I like to think of ourselves as the Busby Berkeley and Bob Fosse of the era,'' said Mr. Cutrone, twirling a rabbit's foot dangling from his belt. ''As long as I'm discovering new talent, I just get younger and younger.''
Before heading back to the Monkey for their midnight performance, the group stopped for a quick bite at Siren. As a hip-hop band played on the small stage, they downed towers of hors d'oeuvres -- sushi, mussels, chicken on sticks -- then went off to work. The Monkey was packed with downtown scenesters and Wall Streeters. The parade of divas kept the room rapt until 3 a.m. When Ms. Zane took the stage in a slinky beaded gown and sang a wild Mexican love song, the applause was particularly loud. Mr. Cutrone ran a hand through his slightly thinning hair and sighed with pleasure.Continue reading the main story


text: SEATTLE, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the proposed brand name Omidria™ for OMS302, the Company's proprietary product in development for use in intraoperative lens replacement (ILR) surgery. FDA's acceptance of the proprietary brand name is subject to the Agency's final determination prior to any approval of the product's New Drug Application (NDA) and market launch, expected in 2014. Omeros earlier received allowance of the trademark application for Omidria from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The FDA reviews proposed proprietary names, taking into account potential for confusion between the proposed name and the names of marketed drugs and pending products for which marketing applications are currently under review. The brand name Omidria was also submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), with a decision anticipated later this year. Omeros recently registered Omidria as a European Community Trade Mark. "Throughout branding analyses conducted with ophthalmic surgeons and nurses using both regulatory and marketing criteria, Omidria scored very high globally – across the US, Canada, Europe and Asia as well as in Mexico and South America," said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. "With FDA's acceptance, we can now accelerate the development of the Omidria brand in preparation for the product's anticipated market launch in 2014." About Omeros' OMS302 Program OMS302 is Omeros' product being developed for use during intraocular lens replacement (ILR), including cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange. OMS302 is a proprietary combination of the mydriatic (pupil dilating) agent phenylephrine and the anti-inflammatory agent ketorolac. Omeros' NDA for OMS302 has been accepted for filing by the FDA and its MAA for OMS302 has been validated by the EMA.

St. Mary's of Lynn announced the hiring of Erin Menard as its new girls volleyball coach this afternoon. Below is the official press release, courtesy of Paul Halloran:
As the new volleyball coach at St. Mary's High School in Lynn, Erin (Kozul) Menard is in the process of getting to know the 51 players who showed up for tryouts. She is already familiar with the Spartans' Catholic Central League foes, having been one of them as a player and coach.
Menard was a standout player at Arlington Catholic (Class of 1999) who went on to play one year at Emmanuel College before an injury ended her career prematurely. She became a sub-varsity coach at AC while she was still in college then, after a few years off, took over as varsity coach at her alma mater in 2008.
After coaching two years, Menard took a break from volleyball, though she has been an assistant basketball coach at AC since 2004. When the St. Mary's position became available, she knew the time was right for her to return to the volleyball court.
"I've always wanted to get back into it," she said. "I left coaching (volleyball) when I got married, and I knew I would come back to it someday. St. Mary's is a great opportunity to be at a new school with new faces."
St. Mary's Athletic Director Jeff Newhall said he is pleased to have attracted a coach with Menard's experience.
"Erin has been a part of championship programs as a player and coach," he said. "I'm confident she will take our volleyball program to the next level."
Menard said volleyball provides an excellent option for female athletes looking for a fall sport. "If someone is looking for a fall sport, I always suggest volleyball," she said. "It's a fun sport and a good team sport. Most kids don't play until they get to high school, so there is an opportunity to teach as well as coach."
Menard was pleased to welcome 17 Marian Division and grade 9 students and 34 upperclassmen -- including seven returning varsity players -- on the first day Monday. The numbers will allow the Spartans to have a varsity, JV and freshman team.
"I'm very happy with the numbers," she said. "I'm very encouraged after the first day."
The Spartans open their season Sept. 5 at Archbishop Williams.
Menard works as an administrative assistant at her father's electrical engineering company, and is also a part-time security guard at Fenway Park. She and her husband, Joshua, live in Medford.

No Limits
Story by Dr. Suzanne Prestwich, Medical Director of the Pediatric Rehabilitation Unit
Mohammed and Ahmed Al-Ali are brothers from Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both of their lives have been greatly affected by a diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition that brought them half-way around the world in search of help.
SMA is a rare disease in which nerves in the spine become progressively weaker. In its most severe form, SMA can cause death in infancy. However, many children with milder forms can live long and fulfilling lives, despite challenges with scoliosis, breathing and the likelihood that the need for a wheelchair will limit their mobility.
Although Mohammed and Ahmed struggle at times with their limited mobility, I know that their futures are very bright and far from limited.
I first met Mohammed, the eldest of the pair, in 2009 when he came to Kennedy Krieger's inpatient unit after a successful spinal fusion surgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. The first thing I noticed about Mohammed was his smile; the second was his flawless English. But perhaps the most noticeable thing was Mohammed's amazing family.
As with many medical conditions, raising a child with SMA is challenging because it carries both a physical and emotional toll. Now imagine having two children with this rare disease.
His mother is the principal of the Al-Himham School, his father a public relations executive. While he was at Kennedy Krieger, his parents and several aunties—always gracious and attentive—never left his bedside. Back in the UAE, the rest of his extended family took advantage of the power of technology to stay in constant communication with Mohammed using Skype. I would wave and smile at them, through Mohammed's computer, whenever I came into his hospital room. Even when separated by thousands of miles, you could feel their love. Once fully healed and feeling strong, Mohammed returned home. His mother, in her knowing way, said that we would meet again.
That day came in 2011, when the family again returned to the U.S. so that Ahmed (who is better known as A.J.) could have the same surgery as his brother. Unfortunately there were complications, and I went to meet with A.J.'s parents in the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital, where he was still very ill. When I told them I was looking forward to A.J. coming to Kennedy Krieger when he was well enough, I could see the relief on their faces.
Soon, A.J. was here with us as an inpatient, with the same engaging smile as his brother. Both boys attend Ras Al-Khaimah English Speaking School, so it's not surprising that A.J.'s English was flawless as well. A.J. had a long stay with us, and our nurses, techs and therapists were his biggest fans. He taught our respiratory therapists how to speak some Arabic and often played tricks on staff using his beloved iPhone. His love of Lady Gaga was infectious. In fact, on the day of his discharge, the nurses serenaded him with their rendition of her song, Paparazzi. When the time came, I was happy to see A.J. and his family return to the UAE. I can only imagine his parents' relief that the long medical journey that took them so far from home was finally over.
I am inspired by these two young men who despite their physical limitations, place no limits on their aspirations for the future. Mohammed is now 14 years old and in 10th grade. He loves school, especially physics. His goal is to become a nuclear engineer. At 12 years old, A.J. is certain that he wants to be a lawyer.
Before he left Kennedy Krieger, I asked A.J. and his parents if I could share their story on this blog. They agreed, but my favorite memory of the conversation was how A.J. was especially excited because he wanted to show up in the search results if someone "googled" him. I am happy that this blog can make that small dream come true, but I know it won't be the last time that you'll be reading about A.J.'s and Mohammed's dreams and accomplishments.

The fan who confronted Rio Ferdinand at the end of the Manchester derby has been banned from attending football matches for three years. Manchester City fan Matthew Stott, 21, was told he came close to going to prison, but instead his 56-day jail term was suspended for 12 months. Stott had to be restrained by City keeper Joe Hart from confronting Ferdinand, who was bleeding from a cut caused by a coin thrown from the stands. Ferdinand had been celebrating Robin van Persie's late winner for United at City's Etihad Stadium when tempers boiled over. TV footage of the incident was played at Manchester Magistrates Court showing Stott, who had drunk eight pints of lager before kick-off, trying to confront Ferdinand. Stott, a landscape gardener of Southfields, Knutsford, pleaded guilty to encroaching on the field of play and using insulting words or behaviour. As well as the football ban and suspended jail sentence, he was ordered to do 120 hours community service, must pay ?145 in c...

text: Well we didn't know what to expect of the site, but looking through the list of funsters attending we knew we'd have a good time and we did, in fact we had a ball. The site and facilties are superb and easily coped with the small number of people using the site, the staff work hard are polite and nothing is too much trouble. This is not the sort of site we are used to, but we were very surprised, it's well laid out, the pitches if anything are too big. The Gym and Spa were superb and we used the facilities most days. While we would not want to do Marjal in Summer when its full, we would certainly come back again in the winter. Today the rally finishes and most are now winging their way homeward, about half a dozen have extended their stay and some have already booked to spend next winter here. Funsters organised trips out, cook-ins, meals, demonstrations and parties and some days our area looked like a coronation party as we'd take over the street. In all we had a wonderful time and look forward to repeating it. :thumb: A big thanks to all those funsters that turned up and made us laugh so much:thumb::thumb: NB: This 'Marjal Rally' forum section was private for ralliers during the rally but is now open to everyone.

Herbert the Hippo
Poem by: writersbug
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
"Hey!! It's Herbert the Hippo!!"
Herbert didn't like talking to the birds in the trees.
"Hey!! It's Herbert the Hippo!!"
Herbert didn't like talking to the fish in the seas.
"Hey!! It's Herbert the Hippo!!"
Herbert didn't like talking to the crabs in the sand.
"Hey!! It's Herbert the Hippo!!"
Herbert didn't like talking to the monkeys in the band.
"Hi, Herbert, how was school?"
"Good, Mom, everything was cool."
Herbert walked up to his room,
And shut the door,
He didn't really want to go on,
Not anymore.
He thought about the birds in the trees,
The fish in the seas,
The crabs in the sand,
And the monkeys in the band.
He smiled as he hefted the gun,
Letting his tears freely run,
Curling one pudgy finger,
Precariously around the trigger.
Before he found the nerve,
To do what he deserved,
He made sure to tilt his head,
So nothing would smear his favorite poster.....
Which was now his brother's, instead.
