BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Spencer Breslin was born in New York City on this date in 1992. This birthday guy rose to fame as a child actor, starring in "Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat," "The Santa Clause 2" and "The Kid." More recently, he appeared in the film "The Happening" and guest-starred on the series "Bones." Breslin is the brother of actress Abigail Breslin.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shift into low gear. You may feel ready to challenge the world, but there's little point in competing when you're the only car in the race. Be sensitive to a special someone's needs to enjoy pleasant benefits.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Home is where the heart is. Spending a quiet evening with a significant other will be more satisfying than dealing with the annoying hustle and bustle of social hubs. Remember that the best things in life are free.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Rise to the challenge. A healthy rivalry brings out the best in you. You might find that you excel where you normally spin your wheels. Don't give in to passing whims without a little bit of forethought.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): There's no need to rush. Sit back and relax instead of running around looking for the action. You've got all the time in the world — and if you can't find what you want today, tomorrow is another day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't make a mountain of a molehill. Little problems can blossom into something much bigger if you fly off the handle. Avoid getting into needless confrontations; focus your energy on romantic encounters.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don't let someone else's plans override your own. A friend or loved one may take for granted that you are on board with their agenda when, in fact, you have your own plans. Be diplomatic, but stand firm.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get your priorities straight. Socializing can wait if important responsibilities demand immediate attention. Friends may think they know what's best for you, but sometimes you just have to take a rain check.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be flexible. Don't be so focused on the goals you've set for yourself that you miss out on a chance to make headway with your love life. Leave some wiggle room to change plans if necessary.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even Superman needed his Fortress of Solitude. Take some time to go off on your own and recharge your batteries after a long week. By tomorrow, you'll be ready to spring into action once again.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Appreciate being appreciated. Someone may show you just how much you mean to them through a gift or kindhearted gesture. There's no reason that you shouldn't enthusiastically reciprocate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for common ground. You may be at odds with someone over several issues, but on the same wavelength over others. Rather than focusing on differences, use shared views to solidify your relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Bury the hatchet. There's little point in carrying on with grudges or petty squabbles. Be the first to offer reconciliation, so you and the other party can move on to more constructive pursuits.
IF MAY 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You have your future in your hands during the next three to four weeks. This is an excellent time for long-range planning and to make key decisions — your judgment is better than usual. An opportunity that comes along now could offer permanent improvements in some area of your life. In August and September, you are perhaps too easily fooled by surface appearances, so wait until October to make major financial decisions, investments or career changes.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Seattle Mariners - 8/18/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Seattle Mariners (63-55) at Los Angeles Angels (50-69)
MLB Baseball: Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 10:05 pm (Angel Stadium)
H Iwakuma (14-7) (3.84) vs. M Shoemaker (6-13) (4.22)
The Line: Los Angeles Angels +110 / Seattle Mariners -120 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
The Seattle Mariners look to continue their push towards the postseason as they take on their division rivals in the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night.
The Mariners and Angels are headed in complete opposite directions heading into Thursday night's game as th visitors are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are making significant strides in the race for an American League playoff spot while the Halos are 1-9 in their last 10 and have looked horrible all season long. Seattle was expected to be in the mix in the AL West this season but were slotted in behind the Astros and Rangers but they are still very much in contention for the division as well as a wild card spot and would be a nice treat to see them get back into October baseball. Seattle will send Hisashi Iwakuma to the hill as he will face off against Matt Shoemaker in a matchup that once again favours the M's.
USA TODAY Sports
The Angels meanwhile head into tonight's game in a full on tailspin and occupy the basement of the AL West division and will need a full overhaul in the offseason if they're going to play their way back into relevance in the standings. LA does have some nice pieces in place led by Mike Trout and have some options in the form of CJ Cron and Kole Calhoun but they haven't been able to string everything together at the same time and with a subpar rotation in place as well the Angels are in trouble and might be for a few more seasons.
The Mariners are 9-2 in their last 11 overall, 13-3 in Iwakuma's last 16 starts, and 4-1 in his last five starts against the AL West while the Angels are 1-11 in their last 12 overall, 1-4 in Shoemaker's last five starts, but 11-4 in their last 15 home games. This is a great value for the visitors at -120 and with Iwakuma going they get it done without much trouble.

James Madison Quotes About ChoicesQuotes about: Choices
In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them . . . . He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
In civilized communities, property as well as personal rights are the essential object of the laws, which encourage industry by securing the enjoyment of its fruits: that industry from which property results, and that enjoyment which consists not merely in its immediate use, but in its posthumous destination to objects of choice and of kindred affection. In a just and free government, therefore, the rights both of property and of persons ought to be effectually guarded.
But cool and candid people will at once reflect, that the purest of human blessings must have a portion of alloy in them, that the choice must always be made, if not of the lesser evil, at least of the GREATER, not the PERFECT good; and that in every political institution, a power to advance the public happiness, involves a discretion which may be misapplied and abused.
If the public homage of a people can ever be worthy of the favorable regard of the Holy and Omniscient Being to Whom it is addressed, it must be that in which those who join in it are guided only be their free choice-by the impulse of their hearts and the dictates of their consciences...

Trying to install Mint 13 and it can't see my already installed Windows or Mint 10 (or ext4 and ntfs data partitions). It tells me there are no OS's currently on the hard drive (thinks it's a completely un-allocated drive). Sure enough, when I check using Gparted, it also thinks the drive is unallocated. How on earth that happened, I haven't a clue, since I partitioned the disk with Gparted in the first place (before installing Mint 10). Interestingly, when I use Disk Utility 2.30.1 it sees the partitions just fine. How can I get the Mint 13 installation program to see the partitions so it doesn't happily wipe out all my data and my other OS? I can't do my taxes until I get this installed, since the program requires a newer version of Firefox, and Mint 10 won't update it (I guess because it's an unsupported release).
Thanks in advance to whoever offers a solution.

A Journey Through the Eclipse Series: Chantal Akerman's Les Rendez-vous d'Annaby
March is Women's History Month, as if you needed any more justification for exploring great feminist cinema.
Follow along with David Blakeslee as he continues his weekly trek, bringing into the spotlight one film from Criterion's Eclipse Series.
March is Women's History Month, as if you needed any more justification for exploring great feminist cinema.
David's latest Eclipse review looks at a groundbreaking British film from 1961 that openly challenged laws criminalizing homosexuality.
If the chills of mid-February have you feeling a little limp and tentative, Carlos Saura's red-hot serving of flamenco en fuego may be just what you need to spice up your Valentine's Day… and night.
A look at Kurosawa's debut feature, a martial arts saga that laid the foundation for many themes he'd explore over the following fifty years. With LOTS of screencaps.
In this 1967 film, Japanese tough guy Joe Shishido warmed up for his role in Branded To Kill as a steely-nerved hitman running for his life from the gang that betrayed him.
In the newest offering from Eclipse, the so-called "Southern California Trilogy" uses three disparate subjects (developmentally delayed twins, model railroad builders and urban street gangs) to ponder how we learn, communicate and make sense of the world around us.
Testing the limits of both Communist censorship standards and narrative filmmaking conventions was a specialty of the great Serbian director Dusan Makavejev. In the muted satire of Man Is Not a Bird, he began the trek that made him one of the most notorious agitators in cinematic history.
Tucked away toward the end of Yasujiro Ozu's monumental filmography, Late Autumn is a must-see for fans of his acclaimed masterpiece Late Spring, reworking its central plot and revealing much in both the similarities and contrasts between the two.
If you're as smitten with Miriam Hopkins as I am after watching her illuminate the screen in Criterion's new Design for Living DVD/Blu-ray, take heart! There's more of Miriam to enjoy, starting with her first appearance in a comedy, The Smiling Lieutenant, with Maurice Chevalier and Claudette Colbert.
Criterion fans know Sabu's feisty charisma from The Thief of Bagdad and Black Narcissus. His screen debut in Elephant Boy shows that his transition from orphaned servant to international movie star was instinctive, instantaneous and seemingly inevitable.

Question: Upper Abdominal Pain-> ongoing-> increases with moveme
|bindy - Sun Dec 31, 2006 7:10 am
Hi, For the past year now i've been dealing with abdominal pain. It's not like a dull pain, shapr or anything like that it's in a way more of a discomfort. At times it's like a pressure/bloating feeling which depending on wether i've done activity or been active for a while will only include my upper abdomen, or else my abdomen as a whole.
Initially i belived my abdominal problem to be borught on by a horse riding accident which happenned about the same time. With that i came off my horse and landed (from what i can gather) onto my shoulders at the base of my neck.
In any case. Up till now i've belived that my ongoing abdominal pain/discomfort was a muscular related thing, as the pain/discomfort increases after i've done activity. After numerous doctors and finally one who would send me for proper tests, i had a CT scan the other day. I don't know what to look for in the films but i looked at my report, as i go back to current specialist on the 15th of FEB.
It bascially said that everything was fine except that i had small mesenteric nodes (which i'm still trying to find information about) and that i had Bilateral small ovarian cysts. I'm just wonderign now wether my symptoms could be related to this and not the horse riding accident at all. When i think about it after reading symtpoms on the net i have had maybe a few of the symptoms of ovarian cysts. Also a few years back i had similar problems, at least i gather so but they went away after a while. Wether that could have been the same problem then i don't know. But if anyone has any info or advice i would really like to know.
My symptoms are:
>Upper abdominal discomfort which is tender to touch, and also this is the same for the middle of my abdomen vertically.
>After activity my abdominal pain/discomfort increases sometimes dramatically and i feel as though i'm going to vomit and some times i've come close but as yet i haven't vomited.
> the abdominal pain is there all the time, i find when i do the least activity, moving aroudn etc i feel a considerabel amount better but it's still there.
>temperature seems to aggrivate it more as well... if i'm in aircon and become too cold i will begin to feel neasious.
> my periods have been more painful and they tend to make me feel really neaseuos and i really can't do anything.
> my bowle movements also haven't been liek they were before. frequently i'll either be constipated or have diarhea. When i have diarhhea right befor ehand i'll feel as though i'm going to be sick but i haven't been sick.
I'm certian it's not food related, as i've tried different diets excluing weat, lactose etc.
I'm 15 years old and weigh 58kg (last time i was weighed which was 2 weeks ago (roughly).
Thanking you Bindy
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Mon Jan 01, 2007 7:58 pm
Abdominal pain can be quite ellusive in discovering its cause. I have a few questions for you regarding your pain.
1) Where in the upper abdomen is your pain? Left, right, middle, etc.
2) Does eating help or worsen your pain?
3) Do you get the pain in correlation with your periods, are your periods regular, and is there any possibility of STD's?
4) Are you on any medications?
5) Have you had any blood work done and if so, what were the results?
Ovarian cysts can cause some of your symptoms, although they do not typically cause upper quadrant pain alone. More commonly they cause lower quadrant pain. Also, cysts can be an incidental finding. Typically they are given 3-6 cycles to resolve and often do without treatment.
A few other possibilities for your pain include gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, gastritis and early inflammatory bowel disease.
I would suggest continuing to follow up with your doctor.
Hope this helps. Keep us updated.
|bindy - Tue Jan 02, 2007 1:01 am
Thank you for your quick reply. I have been told by the numerous doctors that abdominal pain can be hard to diagnose because there are quite a few things that could be the cause of it. Unfortunately it's been a trial-and-error process over the past year.
In answer to your questions:
1)> It's in the middle, of my upper abdomen. It doesn;t move around or anything like that and is always there. Increased by activity. It's about the size of my hand when placed, and reaches down to just above my belly button. (i hope that makes sense)
2)> Some times that depends... I've foudn travelling in the car a big problem and seems to aggrivate my abdomen quite a bit. And at times when i'm going for a car trip i take a sandwhich or somethign with me to nibble on and often this helps. Although if i've done enough activity which leads me to feel as though i've overdone it ( i originally believed my abdominal pain/discomfort to be muscular because activity worsens it) eating food doesn't really help. Generally as i don't; do anythign now because i end up feeling worse off, eating isn't too bad... Although if i eat a large meal i find that my abdominal discomfort (same upper, middle abdomen) can increase but shortly passes if i sit and do nothing. For this reason i do tend to eat smaller frequent meals during the day.
3)> The abdominal pain/discomfort is always with me. I did take asperin- panadol etc at one stage but when they wore off i foudn it wasn;t worth being introduced to the abdominal pain/discomfort again as i will feel as though i've done activity and 'over done' it. (which still confuses me because ot me thats muscle in a way... When i have my periods I've had severe period pain and my abdominal pain/discomfort is decidedly of a more neaseus mature. (i find it hard to distinguish between wether it's pressure, blooating etc and neasea at times.. No possibility of STD's because I haven't had sex.
4)> No medications
5)> I've had about three blood tests during 2006r and have to get another one before i go back to my current muscle and bone specialist. All have come back telling me that i have a low iron level. For which i was given some iron tablets to take, that was early in 06. Other than that samples were testsed for celiac disease (not sure on the spelling), has to do with gluten intolerancy. I would have to find my results for the other blood results.
All throughout 2006 i belived my abdominal discomfort/pain to be msucle related because my discomfort increases dramatically after i've been active. previously i was a very active person. i ride horses and now when i ride horses well, i don't' because afterwards i feel as though i'm going to vomit but i haven't in the time i've experienced this. I also belived it to be muscular because the cold woudl affect me like my muscles were cramping up and causing problems and when i have done activity and have the feelign that i've 'over done' it applying a hot water bottle the warmth has helped.
Any information you can give me woudld be great. I think what i've typed is a bit mumble jumble but i'm forever thinking simple things could help in a diagnosis and it's hard to know wether anything is realted or not.
|bindy - Tue Jan 02, 2007 1:03 am
sorry, just a bit i forgot. You mention:
[[ A few other possibilities for your pain include gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, gastritis and early inflammatory bowel disease. ]]
Would these show up on my CT scan i had recently?
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:34 pm
Your answers are quite helpful. Given your description of the location of your pain (in the epigastric area), the most likely origins of your pain are the stomach and pancreas. Recurrent pancreatitis can be quite painful. It is checked for by a blood test for amylase and lipase levels. I think this is less likely but should probably be checked for if it hasn't been already.
The more likely thing base on your description of symptoms is a gastritis. There are several things that can cause gastritis. I would recommend you get a test for H. Pylori, a bacteria that can cause gastritis and ulcers. Additionally, we are learning more about a set of conditions called eosinophilic esophagitis and esoninophilic gastroenteropathy. They are thought to be a food allergy-but not allergy in the classic sense with hives, etc. There are a few different treatments if this is causing the problems. These are diagnosed by doing endoscopy and biopsying the lining of the esophagus and stomach (under anesthesia so you won't remember it). A GI specialist is needed for this.
There are several foods that are the common culprits for food allergies: dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and shellfish are among the top. One could try a total elimination diet of these foods for 2-4 weeks. If the pain goes away, add them back one at a time to see which was causing the symptoms.
Gallbladder disease is less likely with this location of pain (although not impossible). A CT scan would likely have showed some thickening of the gallbladder if this was present.
Menstrual pains may be adding to your symptoms but I do not think that is the originating cause. I was considering endometriosis; however, this pain tends to be cyclic with your periods.
I would suggest you see a pediatric gastroenterologist to help you work this up. If you are able to do this, I would suggest not trying the food elimination before going, so that you don't "partially treat" the problem and make it harder to figure out.
One other random thought. If you are having low iron levels chronically, you may consider checking a lead level. High lead levels can suppress iron and cause abdominal pain. (Much less likely than other problems, but an easy test to do.)
Also, you may try some antacids with the pain to see if it helps. If it does, gastritis is very likely.
As to your question about CT scans, they would show gall stones, may show gallbladder thickening, and would show any cysts, etc. that may be associated with the pancreas or other organ. They are unlikely to show evidence of gastritis or functional pain problems as they are static pictures.
Hope this helps, keep us updated.

Thankyou for all the information you've provided.
I had an endoscopy a while back and wasa told that i was 'normal' biopsy was taken and was tested for Helicobacter Pylori. Tests came back saying that it wasn't present. The GI asked if anything else helped and i explained how i'd been having chiropractic and bowen (massage) treatments and they give me some relief but doen't cure/fix it completely. he aid that if it doesn't go away in a few months that we can go back and more tests will be done. At the moment it looks like i might have to go back...
I'm just confused with in the event that it is a gastro type issue causing me my problems can activity increase discomfort/pain? Because that seems to be whats dumbfounding the doctors i've gone to for this problem.
[[[One other random thought. If you are having low iron levels chronically, you may consider checking a lead level. High lead levels can suppress iron and cause abdominal pain. (Much less likely than other problems, but an easy test to do.) ]]]
Woul your mention (above) about my lead levels suppressing my iron level and causing abdominal pain be worsened by activity?
Thank you again BIndy
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Tue Jan 02, 2007 6:19 pm
High lead levels would not have increased abdominal pain with activity, as far as I'm aware. However, if there is some inflammatory condition going on, it is certainly possible that exercise could irritate it-regardless of the cause. If, for example, you had some inflamed lymph nodes in the mesenteric covering of your intestines, activity would bounce them around irritating the already inflamed area.
With the intermittent diarrhea, you may also have a component of irritable bowel syndrome. Unfortunately, we really don't have a good understanding of this syndrome but we are learning more all the time. There are some new treatments for this. I would recommend seeing your gastroenterologist again. You may need some of the tests repeated. Also, you may consider a trial of an acid blocking medicine to see if this helps.

The report i got back from my CT scan the other week mentions mescenteric nodes on my large bowel as well but i can't find much about these nodes on the internet that is human or else the kind i'm wanting info on. I'm guessing the lymph nodes you refer to are the same thing ??
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Sun Jan 07, 2007 7:19 pm
These nodes are, indeed, the nodes to which I was referring. Inflamed mesenteric lymph nodes can cause a significant amount of pain. Occasionally, this can be so painful that a work up for appendicitis is done.
Interestingly, acute mesenteric adenitis would typically not continue for a year's time. I would be suspicious of some ongoing inflammatory state or reaction that is causing the nodes to be inflamed, such as a food allergy or other inflammatory bowel condition.
Again, I would recommend re-evaluation by your gastroenterologist. Hopefully, you can find an answer soon for your symptoms.

Always a pleasure. I hope you feel better soon.

Nina is a harried young mother who spends her evenings spying on the older couple across the street through her son's binoculars. She is drawn to their quiet contentment - so unlike her own lonely, chaotic world of nursing. One night, she spies a young couple in the throes of passion. Who are these people, and what happened to her symbol of domestic bliss? In the coming weeks, Nina encounters the older couple, Leon and Claudia, their daughter Emma and her her fiancé, and many others on the streets of her Upper West Side neighborhood, eroding the safe distance of her secret vigils. Soon anonymity gives way to different - and sometimes dangerous - forms of intimacy, and Nina and her neighbors each begin to question their own paths.

"Visible City reminds us how strangers become intimates and intimates grow estranged. Tova Mirvis writes with passion and unflinching honesty about the small grievances that accumulate until we no longer know the people we love." (Joshua Henkin, author The World Without You )
"With artful tenderness and elegant compassion, Tova Mirvis strips her upscale Manhattanites down to their naked loneliness and longings. Her novel is as jewel-like as the stained glass window by La Farge that some of her characters believe may be hidden out of sight, walled-up inside an apartment building and waiting for the light of day for all its beauty to shine forth. Mirvis supplies the light, and the result is dazzling." (Rebecca Goldstein)
"A fascinating maze of a novel, following the intersecting lives of two New York families as they come together and fall apart. Not only is the novel gorgeously written, it is enormously wise on the subjects of art, ambition, parenting, betrayal, and what it means to take care of the ones you love." (Lauren Grodstein, author of A Friend of the Family)
"Often insightful, but 3 star listen"
This book presents insight into the dynamic of marriage, however, along the way, I think the author's message becomes muddled and the conclusion rather disappointing. Still, a good read overall, and i give it 3 stars.

Thanks to this tip from audacious, I tried the real wonderful Real Doner today.
Audacious wrote in that link "food was absolutely DELICIOUS ... I had the chicken gyro wrap which was insanely good the rice was mouth-watering and the salad was zesty ... really i recommend it for sureee"
Oddly enough this week I did a doner kabob crawl. I half-jokingly think it was food fate. The first two I tried gave me a benchmark to measure a good doner kabob and recognize true greatness.
This was a huge wrap in a flatbread that was crispy a bit in spots from a brief grilling. It lovinging wrapped generous deeply beefy meat, pickled red cabbage, chopped tomatoes, a bit of chopped lettuce, a wonderful sauce. There were layers of flavor ... a little garlic here and there.
To make this even more amazing it came with pickled sides where as much thought went into the presentation as the taste ... thinly sliced marinated white onlions flecked with lovely green herbs, were next to the pickled red cabbage beautifully topped with white feta and completing the trio was a yellow pepperoni.
All this wonderfullness ... $5.50
I don't have a poker face. That usually works against me because people know instantly when I'm displeased. However, in restaurants it sometimes works for me when I know a look of bliss lights it up.
The chef knew I was really digging his food and sent me out a complimentary hummus ... something I would never order myself because at best I tolerate it and at worst I despise it.
This was a whole different category and came with the most wonderful, pillowy bread with white and black seeds on top. Another beautiful presentation with a delicious black olive in the center and red and green herbs and spices sprinkled on top with a touch of golden olive oil.
The Turkish coffee in a lovely china cup with red poppies on it was terrific. The lady at the counter asked how sweet I wanted it and read my mind about exactly what would be perfect for my taste. Just lovely.
I'll post the menu in the first reply. They have been open a week.
It is a deli set-up with a refrigerated case with salads that is topped with wonderful pastries. There is a cooler in back with bottled beverages. There are some counter seats, about 10 tables and a few outdoor tables.

The question really should be; Why not me?
It never fails, when I think I have it really bad, I hear a story from someone who really, really had it bad. Some of those people have not only survived what ever it was, but actually thrived because of it.
When I pause, reframe my life, then look with new eyes, it changes everything. Especially after some time passes. I can look back over some of the worst times in my life and seen growth and good come out of them.
Of course when we're in the middle of a crisis, it's hard to look beyond it. Or fight change, yea, I had that one down. Change did come, and I realized, I was the one awfulizing it. If I had only fallen on my faith, the change could have been an adventure, not a terror.
Today, Ed and I are planning a move to a smaller house. Instead of awfulizing, I am trying to see the adventure in it. The renovations we can do to make it home. The thought of having no mortgage!
The truth is, I don't particularly want to move, at the same time I know it's going to happen. Therefore, I'm embracing the process and enjoying my, now, home while we're here. Believing it's happening for us, not to us.
Fantasizing the freedom to enjoy the journey effortlessly.

The Day I Conquered Kilimanjaro
30/09/2015 8:21 AM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:25 AM IST
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Singer, actor, writer
It's been on my list for a while. The 100 things to do before I die list -- the Bucket list.
Having climbed Machu Pichu (South America), Kuari Pass (Himalayas, Uttarakhand), and Tiger's Nest (Bhutan) a bit too easily in the last couple of years, the challenge of Kilimanjaro was irresistible. Standing magnificently tall at 5895m, the highest mountain in Africa and one of the top seven summits of the world was calling out to me loud. So I discussed it with a few of my likeminded friends -- the crazy outdoorsy ones. The ones who love climbing mountains, jumping off bridges and rafting down rivers. Some of my other friends -- the let's-go-to-a-European-chalet-in-our-Prada-suits-and-drink-pink-champagne-until-we-pass-out type -- were aghast. "Why on earth would you want to climb Kilimanjaro? Have you lost it Suchitra? Haven't you heard of Ebola?"
Back and forth we went, blah, blah and more blah. And then, many emails, Facebook messages, WhatsApp chats and juggling of dates later, we were a group of five friends -- three Indians, one German and one British. Visas done, tickets booked, hiking gear purchased.
"We jogged, we ran up stairs, cycled, ate protein bars and did all the supposedly "must-do-to get-to-the-top-of-the-mountain" stuff."
"Kilimanjaro here we come" we called our WhatsApp group and exchanged fitness tips, training schedules, dietary achievements (or rather failures) fervently in a bid to keep each other inspired and the fears of failing to summit at bay. We jogged, we ran up stairs, cycled, ate protein bars and did all the supposedly "must-do-to get-to-the-top-of-the-mountain" stuff. We got the yellow fever and polio vaccines; malaria tablets are optional. Tanzania and its neighbouring countries are completely Ebola-free, by the way, so all the panic around this particular disease was nonsense. We talked to many experienced climbers, and all told us: "The fittest fail at that altitude. Just make sure you take Diamox (an anti-altitude sickness pill). Even serious athletes have been unable to make it to the top of Kilimanjaro, because it's not the strength in your legs that takes you up. It's your body's ability to deal with reduced oxygen that's the clincher. And so Diamox is a must, from the first day of the climb, twice a day. By the last day it's as if you've eaten magic mushrooms, the high is incredible. The "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" kind of yippy trippy hippie high.
A week before the climb, two others (friends of a friend) joined our group -- one from Lisbon and the other from Addis Ababa. Now we were a group of seven. Very mixed. Very cool. Very excited. And armed with a customised itinerary, a booking for a private toilet and meals ordered to specification.
We arrive in the town of Kilimanjaro (also known as Moshi) and after an overnight stay at the modest hotel Springfield (owned by our tour operators, Zara Tours) set off the next morning.
There are seven established routes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro--Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Rongai, Northern Circuit and Umbwe. Ours was the Machame route.
"We huff and we puff and we climb on. Sometimes like monkeys on all fours."
The previous evening, our chief guide Theo and his assistant Zungu had given us a thorough briefing on the dos and don'ts -- minimum four litres of water a day, lots of chocolate, nuts, Electral or Gatorade, no coffee (accelerates heartbeat) and most important: pole pole, which is pronounced and means the same as hauley hauley in Hindi i.e. slowly slowly. One step at a time. That's all we were to focus on for the next five nights and six days--one foot in front of the other. There were 21 porters and guides to our group of seven.
The itinerary and adventure unfolded as follows.
Finishing point: Machame Hut
Altimeter: 1800-2900m
Distance: 12km
Easy. Mostly through the national park over graded steps. Lunch is packed and carried in our backpacks. By the time we reach camp, tents are pitched in the ground, hot dinner is ready and we fall asleep easily after some excited chatter and singing. This is the rainforest area. There are distinct vegetation zones on the mountain, from rainforest to moorland, to alpine and, finally, almost Arctic conditions--the contrast between each is stark.
Finishing point: Shira Camp
Altimeter: 2900- 3850m
Distance: 7km
Steep climb. As we go higher into the forest, the vegetation changes gradually into moorland. Trees are getting sparse. We huff and we puff and we climb on. Sometimes like monkeys on all fours. By the time we reach camp at the end of the long day I am too exhausted to go see the Shira caves. The boys go. It's getting cold. The layers of clothes and jackets are coming on.
Finishing point: Baranco Camp
Altimeter: 3850m -3950m
Distance: 13km
If we make it through day three we will summit, we are told. We make it. Easily. But muscles are sore. Sleep is short. The air is beginning to thin. It's exhausting. The temperature is plunging as we climb higher.
Finishing point: Barafu Camp
Altimeter: 3950-4670m
Distance: 13 km
Barafu means ice. It's freezing. We are too tired to care about the fact that barafu shares roots with the Hindi word baraf. Yes, the Indian influence in Tanzania is strong and many words are common between Hindi and Kiswahili. Just before reaching camp I slip on a rock. My knee twists at a grotesque angle and I land with a thud. The pain is excruciating. I cry for many minutes, grit my teeth, dust myself off and trek back to the tents, grateful that the injury is not worse considering the angle and impact of the fall. It's 5.30pm. Two Combiflams and a few Oxalgin rubs later I feel better. Zungu, my guide, gives me a foot rub. I fall asleep for a few hours. This zone is alpine desert. Inhospitable wasteland.
"My knee twists at a grotesque angle and I land with a thud. The pain is excruciating. I cry for many minutes, grit my teeth, dust myself off and trek..."
We set out for summit that midnight. The pain is my knee is making me dizzy. I pop three more painkillers. One of our guides, Theo, asks me if I'm OK several times; he's not sure I should climb at all. I dismiss his worries with a cheery smile, disguising my discomfort. I'm going and that's that. Having come this far there was no way I was letting it go now. Not even a torn ligament could stop me. My friends go ahead. Since I'm injured I will slow the group down drastically and that's not fair on anyone. Zungu and I head out by ourselves, 15 minutes after the rest have trudged on.
Altimeter: 4670-5895m
Distance: 22km
The mountain is a string of headlamps that climbers wear to keep their hands free to carry their hiking poles. It's as if the stars are falling into us but in a forward direction -- aah, that's my magic mushroom moment. I smile to myself at that bizarre thought. There are groups of climbers ahead and behind, the mountain is ink dark, dotted with tiny dots of white light. The visibility is limited to the power of one's own head lamp. We are a few days short of a full moon and the wind chill is brutal. Winds so strong you feel them slice your cheek like thick blades. Hasn't been so freaking windy in months, we're told.
Thanks. I want to go home. I'm tired, in serious pain and starting to babble. The water running down my nose freezes in the icy air even as Zungu patiently wipes it off. He sings aloud to encourage me, also doing a little dance for me to follow. One-two-three-four and a step two-three-four. The Kiswahili mountain shake. I have to rest every 10 or minutes. I can't go ahead. The incline is too steep and my legs have turned to lead. On some rocks I have to actually pick up my legs with my hands to bring them higher, or ask Zungu to carry me across.
"I am getting more and more delirious as the hours pass. Every cell in my body is screaming from exhaustion, pain and cold."
I am getting more and more delirious as the hours pass. Every cell in my body is screaming from exhaustion, pain and cold. "Come on, don't give up now sister," Zungu pleads over and over again as I scream at him to get me a helicopter and take me back to base. "Who the hell are you that I should finish the climb for you?" I scream in a state of mountain-induced dementia. Zungu doesn't bat an eyelid at my drama queen moment. Instead, he points to the many climbers returning from the summit. Some of them are vomiting violently on the rocks. It's about 3.30am. "You can't stop in this cold sister. You will die," he says as I collapse on a rock or stand against a boulder to rest. At that temperature it's easy to die of hypothermia. To keep moving is the only way to stay alive.
WTF was I doing on this mountain? Had I gone mad to even think of climbing Kili? Why why why, of all the places on earth, was I here? I kept babbling that I wanted to go home -- even as I plodded on. One groaning stamp after the other.
And finally we are there. It's 7am. The yellow and orange hues of the rising sun dazzle the skyline. A few metres away is Stella Point, a 100m from there Uhuru peak. I realise I don't have my camera. After months of planning and even buying myself a new expensive camera for this trip I have forgotten to carry it on summit night. I don't have the energy to take even a step now. My face has turned to ice and I can no longer feel my frozen fingers or my lips. The pain in my knee is so bad I am swivel-eyed. I don't remember the last few steps to summit point either. All I remember is Zungu chanting: "Just two more steps sister, just one more step sister," as he props me up and propels me forward. Have I really made it? Now I'm crying even louder -- but this time it's from sheer relief and the euphoria of completion.
I made it, I made it! I can't believe it!
On the way down, Zungu asks another guide for assistance -- I am a rather heavy body to carry down one of the world's tallest mountains alone. "You made it, you made it," he congratulates me but I am almost passing out. Remember the corpse in the classic Kundan Shah film Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron? I am much like the corpse in that film, as two able arms hoist me by the elbow and help me down. Soon I am strapped on to a mountain rescue stretcher carried by six strong men who sing and whistle down the bumpy rocky pathway. My teeth rattle and my bones shake, but my torn knee is relieved from the pressure of my own weight and I sigh. "Congratulations," everybody is telling me as I oscillate between euphoria and pain. I did it. It's over. It's one big to do thing struck off my Bucket List.
The day I summited Kilimanjaro was 2 February 2015. It's been more than seven months now. I am still not entirely recovered from my torn ligament and have to wear a knee support when I exercise. But the sense of achievement and satisfaction obliterates the inconvenience caused by the fall. I feel 1000 metres high -- actually make that 5895 metres high. I show off my certificate rather proudly. First Machu Pichu Suchu and now Kilimanjaro Krishnamoorthi. I'm on a high.
"OMG did you really summit? I'm constantly asked. "You don't look like the mountain type."
Lo! Kar lo baat! What exactly is a mountain type? Is a woman supposed to grow a billy goat beard or look like a gorilla to qualify as a mountain type?
We have now changed the name of our WhatsApp group to "Kilimanjaro already done -- What next?" There are a few options I have in mind. Everest Base Camp, Stok Kangri or the Mont Blanc in the Alps? Any other suggestions?
Jambo Jambo! Poa Poa!

Israeli demand sparks 'Jewish state' debate
JERUSALEM — Is Israel "the Jewish state"?
The answer may seem as obvious as the Star of David on the Israeli flag. Yet the question is starting to complicate the ambitious U.S. effort to ram through a peace deal between the Palestinians and Israel.
A broad-based group of Israelis plans to lobby the Knesset to declare the country, for the first time, a Jewish state by law. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel's Jewish status explicitly as part of any agreement.
"This is the Jewish land. This is the Jewish state," he said in a speech this week to assembled U.S. Jewish leaders. "When we make an agreement it is an agreement between the nation state of the Jewish people and a nation state of the Palestinian people."
Leading Palestinians made their opposition clear this week, insisting that by introducing the Jewish factor, Israel is drawing a red line that could doom negotiations.
"I remember the days when we were told, 'All you need is to get the PLO to recognize Israel, and recognize Israel's right to exist in safe and secure boundaries," said Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The Palestinians did just that, she noted, as part of the 1990s interim peace agreements.
"The Jewishness of the state of Israel, this is a new addition," she told reporters Wednesday. "We are working to establish a pluralistic, democratic, inclusive state in Palestine. Not an exclusive state based on religion, ethnicity or whatever."
The Palestinians reject Israel's demand for pragmatic reasons as well: Embrace of Israel as a Jewish state would amount to giving up the dreams of Palestinian refugees to return to lost properties — the so-called "right of return" which is a central sticking point in peace talks. They also say it would undermine the rights of Israel's own Arab minority, the 20 percent of Israel's 8 million people who are themselves ethnic Palestinians.
Even some Israelis suspect the demand is intended to complicate — but the idea has wide support nonetheless. To be criticized even for the desire to have a state of their own — a dream allowed people the world over, from the Irish to the Iranians — chafes many Jewish Israelis
Israeli academic Avraham Diskin, a self-professed lifelong dove, said a Palestinian refusal meant perpetuating the conflict. "This is the minimal test to show that their face is to peace," he said.
Both sides are waiting to see whether the notion shows up in the framework proposal U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to table in coming weeks.
The U.S. usually doesn't recognize countries by ethnicities, but Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the U.S. does recognize Israel as a Jewish state. In his State of the Union speech to Congress last month, President Barack Obama said the goals of the negotiations launched last July were "dignity and an independent state for Palestinians, and lasting peace and security for the State of Israel — a Jewish state that knows America will always be at their side."
Kerry himself implied support for the idea of a Jewish state by advising Israelis they must pull out of Palestinian-populated lands occupied in the 1967 war in order to retain a strong Jewish majority.
Indeed, if Israelis eventually hand over significant territories to a Palestinian state, the motivation will indeed stem largely from a desire to unload their Palestinian population and leave themselves with a strong Jewish majority. An Israel that controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza — the areas occupied in 1967 — would have some 12 million people roughly evenly divided between the two groups.
Writing in the Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, liberal columnist Ari Shavit said, "The deal on the table is clear: A Jewish state in exchange for the 1967 borders." That, Shavit and others say, means the Palestinians must forget about a return by Arab refugees and their descendants to Israel.
But the whole notion of a Jewish state is a complicated one. By shining strong light on a matter that lives more comfortably in the shadows, Israel may be rekindling some awkward questions: Are the Jews a nation — or individuals who share a religion? Should a religion have a state? Should a state have a religion?
And beyond that lies a bigger issue still: Is the idea of a nation-state — with members of that nation fretting over how to stay dominant numerically — not somehow unbecoming in the age of globalization?
The original Zionists of the late 19th century were mostly secular people inspired by the rise of European nations on the ashes of empires. Convinced the Jews needed a state of their own as well, they settled on the Holy Land, from which Jews were expelled by the Romans two millennia ago.
In November 1917 the Zionist movement persuaded Britain — who would soon receive a League of Nations mandate to rule Palestine — to issue a declaration supporting "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." Thirty years later, with British colonial rule nearing its end, the newly established United Nations voted for partition of the area into independent "Arab and Jewish States."
Israel's 1948 Declaration of Independence was essentially a national statement, proclaiming that Palestine — referred to interchangeably as "the land of Israel" — was "the birthplace of the Jewish people." Zvi Hauser, who until recently served as Netanyahu's Cabinet secretary, lamented this week that this declaration was never followed by a constitution cementing the country's status as the Jewish state.
"The Jewish people is not just a religion. It is also a national group that has a right to self-actualization," he said.

Silver Will Soar in the Coming Crash - Silver Supply and Demand
This video is an in-depth review of the supply and demand factors in the silver market. I also go over how I see the supply and
demand changing
in the future, and why I think that could send silver soaring upwards, largely due to a physical shortage, along with a breakdown of the (manipulated) paper markets.

A Blackpool councillor has resigned from his position on the board of governors at a school in "protest" at its "academisation".
Coun Martin Mitchell revealed he would leave the board of governors at Collegiate High School just 24 hours before the first Year Seven pupils started at Bispham High School yesterday, following the two schools' merger into an academy.
The Layton ward councillor said: "I have resigned from the board of governors of Collegiate High School in protest at the academisation of the school which is joining with Bispham High.
"Earlier this year Government inspectors' declaration of Bispham High as "failing" was widely described as politically motivated and a distortion of reality. Bispham High's recently reported best ever exam results show that description to be totally accurate.
"My time at Collegiate has been dominated by the academy issue."
The new academy is to be sponsored by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT), a partnership between Hodgson Academy and Blackpool Sixth Form College.
It is also part of the Fylde Coast Teaching School Alliance, a group of high-achieving schools in the Fylde coast area.
Coun Mitchell said concern at this new direction for the school was a factor in his decision, adding: "Control has now been handed to a group without democratic standing which will decide which of the governors will remain.
"I am not and do not wish to be a compliant cipher for a group without support in the local community. I believe public education should be kept in public hands and encourage others who think the same to speak up at every opportunity."
Parents and pupils from both schools found out in December about proposals to merge the two sites, creating a new £10m school at Collegiate.
This school year children in Years Eight to 11 at both sites will remain at their current campuses.
From January 2014 staff from both schools will be coming together as one single team.
And building work is then expected to begin on the Collegiate site by the end of 2013, to be completed by 2015.
A spokesman for Collegiate High School said: "The governing body resolved to become a merged academy with Bispham following a majority vote.
"We understand Coun Mitchell has resigned based on his individual views and we thank him for his contribution to the school."
Coun Mitchell has been supported in his stance by council leader Simon Blackburn.
He said: "Coun Martin Mitchell has taken a very principled stand over the Collegiate and Bispham decision on academy status. I support and understand his decision.
"Labour councillors have resigned before over academies and may feel they need to do so again as I know they feel extremely strongly about this issue."

Oprah Surprises Jon Stewart Audience With Rally Tickets: Late Last Night
Unfortunately for Jon Stewart's audience last night, they didn't get push-to-start cars or bilingual babies that double as life rafts when Oprah dropped by The Daily Show. Actually, she just appeared on Jon's jumbotron (similar to the ones we all have in our apartments just in case she decides to drop by and tell us we're dicing our tomatoes inefficiently) to show her support for the rallies. Instead she gave tickets to the rallies to his studio audience, which I'm not sure entirely makes sense.

Jay Leno talked to comedian Wanda Sykes about the miners, the weather, the economy, and how fascinating it was that a mistress won the right to be there to greet her miner upon his emergence from the hole. Sounds like an Antonio Banderas movie, right?
Then Jay talked to Rick Fox, who's currently on Dancing With The Stars. He talked about why he decided to join the show, and it wasn't because he knew the samba would require him to rip his shirt open…or so he said.
Pee-Wee Herman spent a few days running around New York City a few days ago, and he shared some of the pictures he took with the fans that greeted him with Jimmy Fallon. I forgot how mobile his suit gets when it's on television!

Gangland Killer Kenneth Noye could be freed from jail in TWO weeks after probation hearing
GANGLAND murderer Kenneth Noye is expected to be told within two weeks if he will be freed from jail.
Noye (pictured) could be freed within weeks
The gangster, 68, was jailed in 2000 for the 1996 road rage killing of Stephen Cameron, 21, who he knifed to death on a slip road of the M25.
But he is eligible for parole after serving 16 years of a life sentence, meaning he could be back on the streets within a few weeks if the application is successful.
A probation hearing was due to take place today, according to sources, with a decision to be made by the panel within two weeks.
Noye, currently at Category C Wayland Prison in Griston, Norfolk, fled to Spain after the murder, but was extradited back to face court in 1998.
When news broke of Noye's bid for freedom in February, Stephen's dad, Ken Cameron, 69, spoke of his shock.
But the Probation Service has described former Freemason Noye as a model prisoner.
He said: "He left my son dying in the gutter and fled to Spain. I don't believe for a minute he has changed his ways - it's a load of old rubbish.
"He'll always be a dangerous man.
Victim Stephen Cameron
He left my son dying in the gutter and fled to Spain. I don't believe for a minute he has changed his ways - it's a load of old rubbish. He'll always be a dangerous man.
"Noye should never be allowed out of prison. He is an evil man and has never shown any remorse for what he did."
A decision was supposed to be reached this spring, but it was put back.
Ken and wife Toni, 69, tonight told the Mirror Online waiting for the decision had been "agony".
Ken said: "The last few months have been absolute agony for us. They delayed it in the Spring and we wondered why - then they put it back again.
"It's constantly on our minds - is he going to get out? If he is, then we just need to know so we can prepare ourselves.
Now is a double killer after killing detective John Fordham, who was investigating the notorious brinks Mat robbery, in the grounds of his Kent mansion in 1985.
But at trial, he was cleared of murder after claiming he acted in self defence.
But a year later he was convicted of handling Brink's-Mat gold and jailed for 14 years.
A probation service spokesman said: "I cannot confirm is an individual hearing is taking place, but generally, following such a hearing, the panel would come back with a decision within two weeks. The applicant, and any victims or their relatives would be nootified first."

How to Tackle Interference in MIMO Interference Channel
Multiple Input Multiple Output Interference Channel is investigated in this paper. The authors focus on how to tackle the interference when different users try to send their code words to their corresponding receivers. They propose a strategy to remove the interference while allowing different users transmit at the same time. Their strategy is low-complexity while the performance is good. Mathematical analysis is provided and simulations are given based on their system. The development of wireless communication systems for high bit rate data transmission and high-quality information exchange between terminals is becoming one of the new challenging targets in telecommunications research.

Analysis of Trauma in Reign Over Me
On one of the most tragic days in American history,
September 11th, 2001
, caused hundreds of American families to have to experience unspeakable tragedy. This tragedy has been portrayed in various films and works. One such work is the movie
Reign Over Me.
The film follows a dentist,
Alan Johnson
, in his quest to help his old college roommate,
Charlie Fineman
, deal with the trauma and grief he is experiencing after the
loss of his entire family
. Charlie's family was on one of the flights that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11th. In addition to the loss of the family dog, he
loses his wife and his three daughters
. Alan runs into Charlie and it is clear to him that Charlie is
suffering to cope
with the loss of his family. It becomes Alan's mission to help Charlie with the emotional turmoil he is experiencing and help him learn how to cope. Through the film Charlie exhibits many different symptoms of various psychological problems such as
Complicated Grief
Interpersonal Analysis
After a traumatic loss, interpersonal connections that once came easy to individuals can suddenly become difficult:
Charlie lost his entire family, which forced him to escape any sort of interpersonal connections that reminded him of his wife and children.
His in-laws and friends became a part of his life that he ignored and pretended didn't exist.
Charlie exhibits symptoms of CG such as marked loneliness and detachment from others (Gupta & Bonanno, 2011):
This is seen in Charlie's lack of friendships and relationships in his life.
Prior to Alan and Charlie reconnecting, the only people Charlie has in his life are his landlord and his accountant.
The difficulty Charlie is having may be due to problems with his expressive flexibility (Gupta & Bonanno, 2011):
For example, when Alan's father dies.
Feeling sadness and grief reminds him of his own trauma and therefore cannot relate to Alan in that way.
The cost of not being able to express certain emotions is that individuals who report using a high level of expressive suppression have received lower peer ratings of closeness and likeability. This means that if a person is seen to be suppressing emotions, friends of this person may feel less close to the individual.
Also, Charlie has certain emotions that he is unable to suppressed.
For example, when he was asked if he ever missed being a dentist.
Having emotional outburst like this make it difficult to maintain normal relationships and friendships.
Luckily, Alan sticks by Charlie in the hopes that one day he'll be able to convince him to get help.
Historical & Theoretical Introduction
Grief has been discussed for centuries, starting with
in 1651.
Benjamin Rush
Charles Darwin
, and
A.F. Shand
all discussed the topic in some way or another recognizing core ideas. For example, that people
grieve differently
and the various ways people manage their grief, like crying.
ideas are the
to the modern study of grief. He recognized that it could become pathological if not dealt with properly.
noted that the purpose of grieving was to
preserve the relationship
with the deceased in some way.
Helene Deutsch
recognized that grief does
the same
. She explained that mourning can become problematic in both situations of the
of mourning and
mourning. She introduced the idea that if grief goes unexpressed it can become pathological.
discovered a new way of classifying psychological symptoms which lead to the development of the first
. This ultimately led to a change in thinking about grief.
Grief shifted from being viewed strictly as a psychoanalytic concept to a more
diagnostic pathology
that could be treated by a psychiatrist or other mental health professional.
Cultural/Social Context
Terrorist events are different then natural or technological disasters because they are deliberately aimed to inflict harm on civilian populations and result in a considerable loss of life:
Nationwide studies suggest that 4-11% of the United States knew someone who was killed in the attacks on 9/11 (Neria et al., 2007).
Charlie depicts one of the thousands of people who lost a loved one in the violent, unpredictable event.
Studies conducted after the 9/11 attacks, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and other areas that have suffered man-made tragedy suggest a relationship between indirect exposure and PTSD in the short-term (Neria et al., 2007).
The groups with more prevalent symptoms of complicated grief after the 9/11 attacks were (Neria et al., 2007):
Those 55 or older
Individuals with lower educational attainment
Individuals who were not gainfully employed
Those who lost a child
If the deceased was killed at the World Trade Center site as compared to the Pentagon
Finally, watching the attacks live on TV was significantly associated with complicated grief
Charlie is just one example of an individual who has experienced grief due to September 11th, but he is an important one:
Charlie is representative of people who have been bereaved by a terrorist attack.
Charlie has symptoms of PTSD and CG, which is not uncommon for people who experience such a traumatic loss.
September 11th affected both people who were bereaved by the event and the people of the United States as a whole:
It was an attack on innocent civilian lives and left the country sad and shocked.
Many people were directly affected by the attack but even those indirectly affected by the event commonly felt profound feelings of sadness and loss.
Intrapersonal Analysis
Feeling detached is a big part of CG (Gupta & Bonanno, 2011):
There are signs of detachment within Charlie.
Those with complicated grief have issues with expressive flexibility. They are unable to express and suppress emotions in a normal way (Gupta & Bonanno, 2011):
In Charlie's case, he has many emotional outbursts and is unable to control himself.
Charlie's emotions appear to be suppressed at times too. He doesn't react in the way you would assume a person would to various situations.
It is not uncommon for individuals who have experienced a sudden, violent, and traumatic death of a loved one to be unable to cope with and find meaning in the death (Lictenthal et al., 2013):
Charlie has never tried to deal with or make meaning in the death of his family because it's too painful.
He exists in an alternate reality where video games, music, and late night movies are the most important thing. This way he doesn't have to deal with the powerful emotions he is feeling about losing his family.
Charlie also fits the DSM-V criteria for PTSD (APA, 2013):
Intrusion symptoms
Avoidant symptoms
Negative alterations in cognition and mood
Alterations in arousal and reactivity associated with the traumatic event
Symptoms have lasted for years after the traumatic loss
He cannot work or socialize with people in a normal way
His symptoms are not due to drugs or alcohol
By Alexis Buckheit & Stephen Levine
The first empirical study of grief was done by
in the 1940's in which he studied recently bereaved individuals.
This study found that grief could be considered a
psychological disorder
and that it has
More recently, in the 1980's, many
standardized questionnaires
were developed to measure bereavement. These questionnaires took a more scientific approach to the study of grief that reflected the nature of the field at that time. At this point the study of grief had transitioned from a psychoanalytic concept to a psychiatric concept to an
empirical study
The most
recent research
on grief has started to examine grief in
specific ways
. For example, many studies have examined violent deaths and the impact this has on the grieving process.
Additionally, recent research has begun to examine
gender differences
in grieving, as well as how
early development
can effect grief later in life.
Another more recent concept in the research on grief is that of
complicated grief
, which is a form of grief that is particularly
to the individual.
One very recent study by
Lichtenthal, Neimeyer, Currier, Roberts, and Jordan
. (2013) examined grief in the terms of the death of a child. The study examined both
violent and nonviolent
causes of death and how the bereaved found meaning in the loss. Typically, those who were not prepared for their child's deaths were more likely to experience
complicated grief reactions
. Results indicate that those who
lost their child
in a violent way had more symptoms of complicated grief and PTSD than those who lost their child in a non-violent way. Additionally, those who lost their child in a violent way had a harder time finding a meaning in the death. About half of the parents who lost their child in a violent way could not find a
for the loss.
One study done by
Gupta and Bonanno
(2011) examined
complicated grief
and how it can cause deficits in
emotional regulation
.Some symptoms of CG are the following: "Strong yearnings for the deceased loved one, disbelief of the loss, marked loneliness and detachment from others, and a pervasive sense that life is meaningless." The results of this study indicated that those who experience CG may have more difficulty regulating their emotions. Those who are experience CG are have trouble moving forward from their loss. Typically they
feel disbelief
feel detached
from others.
In the study by
Neria et al
. (2007) a web-based survey was administered on adults who experienced
during the
September 11th
terrorist attacks. The goal was to examine the
prevalence of complicated grief
2.5-3.5 years after the attacks. The aim of this study was to examine long-term grief reactions among these bereaved adults. This research has suggested that while the majority of people are able to adjust to loss and regain functioning after a traumatic event, a minority of individuals may develop chronic grief reactions, known as
complicated grief
. This is shown through persistent mourning, yearning, and loss-related anguish and withdrawal. Forty-three percent of a study group of 704 bereaved adults across the United States was ruled positive for CG. This study has also shown that CG is close to increased risk of hospitalization for mental illness, medical comorbidity, cardiac events and high blood pressure, as well as mortality.
Current Research
Unfortunately, events like September 11th have become a fear for people in America and all over the globe:
These events do occur and the aftermath leaves peoples' lives in shambles.
People who lose a loved one in these events are susceptible to complicated grief and PTSD (Neria et al., 2007).
In Charlie's case, he has symptoms of CG and PTSD, which interfere with his functioning in day to day life:
Due to this Alan makes it his mission to get Charlie help.
By the end of the film, he's started to make steps in the right direction:
Charlie moves into a new apartment to have a fresh start.
His in-laws now understand why he needs his space and will allow him that if it's what he needs to heal.
Alan and Charlie's therapist, Angela, introduce Charlie to another patient of Angela's so he can start forming some new relationships.
Charlie still has the safety blankets of his video games and music, but he is working towards living a more normal life:
Charlie has a long road in learning to cope with his losses and the symptoms of CG and PTSD that he has, but the overall feeling at the end of the film is hopeful.
He is working towards making positive changes in his life and finding his way to recovery.
Bereavement due to terrorism appears to have a particularly detrimental effect on the grieving process:
More research on those bereaved by terrorism specifically would be beneficial.
Charlie appears to be on the road to recovery, but without extensive research on the topic of those bereaved by terrorism it is difficult to say whether he will be able to go back to leading a normal life with normal relationships.

The Nanophotonics Lab welcomes our newest group member, Felipe Santos (or Felipinho!). Felipe's research will be focused on investigating the quantum nature of opto-mechanical oscillators.
The Nanophotonics Lab welcomes our newest group member, Yovanny Espinel. Yovanny's PhD thesis will focus on optomechanical interaction in waveguides and micro cavities.
Power Insensitive Silicon Microring Resonators
Lian-Wee Luo, Gustavo S. Wiederhecker, Kyle Preston, and Michal Lipson
Opt. Lett. 37, 590-592 (2012) http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/OL.37.000590
We demonstrate power insensitive silicon microring resonators without the need for active feedback control. The passive control of the resonance is achieved by utilizing the compensation of two counteracting processes, free carrier dispersion blueshift and thermo-optic redshift. In the fabricated devices, the resonant wavelength shifts less than one resonance linewidth for dropped power up to 335 μW, more than fivefold improvement in cavity energy handling capability compared to regular microrings.
Synchronization of Micromechanical Oscillators Using Light
Mian Zhang, Gustavo Wiederhecker, Sasikanth Manipatruni, Arthur Barnard, Paul McEuen, and Michal Lipson
Synchronization, the emergence of spontaneous order in coupled systems, is of fundamental importance in both physical and biological systems. We demonstrate the synchronization of two dissimilar silicon nitride micromechanical oscillators, that are spaced apart by a few hundred nanometers and are coupled through optical radiation field. The tunability of the optical coupling between the oscillators enables one to externally control the dynamics and switch between coupled and individual oscillation states. These results pave a path towards reconfigurable massive synchronized oscillator networks.
A chip-scale integrated cavity-electro-optomechanics platform
M. Winger, T. D. Blasius, T. P. Mayer Alegre, A. H. Safavi-Naeini, S. Meenehan, J. Cohen, S. Stobbe, and O. Painter

#name? error for date (Access 97 SR-1)
Weird situation I have here...I'm working with a database that uses many, many date fields. On my computer (the "programming" computer), the date fields calculate normally in the forms. On any other computer, when the form opens to a new record and the "default" date comes up, it shows an error of #name? in the field. What is on my computer that is not on theirs? I don't get it...

Vegetable oil compares favorably with the animal because it does not contain cholesterol, often causing the development of atherosclerosis. Vegetable oils are made of sunflower seed, canola, soybean, olive, corn and other oilseeds and contain polyunsaturated acids that make these kind of valuable oil diet. Sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil and corn oil and stone fruit are produced by different technologies, cold or hot pressing and spinning.
Sunflower oil is the most common in Ukraine from vegetable oils, and therefore represented in the refined form, raw, and very little fried, cold-pressed, etc. A unique set of vitamins and minerals in this product make it indispensable in gastronomy sunflower oil. Ukraine has always been famous for its quality of oilseeds, but among all the undisputed leader in the food industry was, of course, oil.

Easter weekend will go on with little to no weather issues. There will be a little bit of patchy fog in those areas that saw rain yesterday evening, but that shouldn't be a widespread issue.
The rest of the day will be sunny with a few clouds in the mountains and perhaps a pop-up thunderstorm or two up there and highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s area-wide.
Tonight will be dry as will be the case Easter morning, so there shouldn't be any problems getting to those Easter church services. There will once again be a small chance of an afternoon pop-up storm or two in the mountains, but that's about it for Easter Sunday.
Better rain and storm chances will arrive with a cold front on Monday which will produce scattered showers and a few storms across the area. The front looks to stall out, which would mean additional rain on Tuesday, and possibly lingering into Wednesday.
Thursday looks dry before our next system gets here next Friday into next weekend which could bring us another chance of rain.
