SEPT. 2 will be like no other day. On that Wednesday my son will start school. But unlike other mothers who are about to lose their first-born to the public-school system, I will not anguish over his leaving. I will not fret over his safety and well-being. I will not worry about his adjusting.
Overcoming separation anxiety is simply a matter of keeping busy. Every second of the time I am without my son (9 to 11:30 A.M.) has been carefully planned and budgeted for weeks. There will be no time for hankies and long goodbyes when my son boards the school bus for the first time. Before the bus exhaust can reach even a single nostril, I will have thrown myself into a frenzy of activity.
During the execution of my ''work-and-not-worry plan,'' I intend to wash and wax every floor in the house, line every cupboard with new shelf paper, paint the living room, and wash an unprecedented number of windows. (Thinking of things to do for the rest of the week might prove to be more difficult.)
In addition to keeping busy, I have trained myself to detect the early warning signs of emotional breakdown and to thwart them with a sure-fire defense. If while alone, I turn on ''Sesame Street'' and recite, along with Big Bird, the numbers one through 10, if I make my son's favorite snack and eat it myself, or if I look through his baby book more than three times before lunch, I will not panic. Instead I will dial the Mothers Whose First and Only Sons Start School This Year Hot Line (I started our local chapter myself) and calmly ask for help.
Knowing my son has spent the past five years in a completely safe and child-proof home and is about to spend several hours each day within the perilous four walls of the kindergarten room might seem cause for worry. Not so. I have left nothing to chance.
On the back of my son's baseball jacket, I have embroidered the telephone numbers of the ambulance, the police, and his pediatrician; his father's work number, his blood type and his complete immunization record. (An abbreviated version, written in indelible ink, is taped to the first-aid kit inside his lunch box.)
Since June I've held countless drills for my son in the recitation of his full name, address and telephone number (O.K., so he doesn't know his ZIP code, but there's still time left).
If he is accosted by bullies or stray dogs, I have instructed my son to blow three short blasts on the police whistle that I have permanently attached to his wrist. And most importantly, if he falls victim to playground mayhem or misfortune, I have trained him, no matter what his physical or mental condition, to form the words, ''I want my mother.''
Finally, I have reasoned beyond a shadow of a doubt that how well my son adjusts to school life will in no way be a measure of my success as a mother. There will be no guilt trips for me. I have developed a rational and positive-only attitude toward how my son will fare in his life away from home.
If when he returns from his first day at school he answers my question, ''What did you do in school today?'' with a noncommittal, ''Nothing,'' I will not worry that he is a failure at interpersonal relationships and is unable to function within the dynamics of large groups, but will assume he has the ability to communicate with as few words as possible.
If his first drawing is done all in black, I won't worry that it is really a death wish, but will conclude that black was the only crayon left in the box. And if he insists that he hates his teacher, the thought that he harbors an uncompromising rage against authority figures won't even cross my mind. Instead, I'll assume that his complaint is just a little boy's cover-up for a crush on the teacher.
Of course, I know that I'm one of the lucky ones. There are plenty of mothers out there who aren't going to make it through the day. They are the worriers, the nail-biters, the compulsive criers. They are the mothers who, for two and a half hours, will pace the kitchen floor, shred Kleenex, and cease to function like normal human beings. Thank goodness I'm not one of them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudette Russell lives in Hampton.

The racing club was established in 1863 and is located on the perimeter of the Mortlock River. Race meetings are held from May to October. The Gold Northam Cup is held in October at the end of the season.
The Avon Valley is spectacular with just the smallest amount of mist clinging to the trees as the early morning sun rises. Ours was a particularly cold morning and the sudden bursts from the flame burner were a welcomed bit of warmth. Going higher certainly doesn't mean getting colder as the temperature really doesn't change.
Finally the balloon takes off in a gentle uplifting as it glides slowly up and over the fields and ponds, gently ascending into the mist and blue skies. If you had any worries about going up in a balloon, you soon forget as it is the most gentlest of rides. It is so quiet except for the odd burst from the propane burner.
Once inflated, its all aboard the wicker basket and that is no mean feat. There was no stool or chair to climb on, just mere cut outs in the side of the balloon to put your feet as you scrambled over the edge of the basket. There are various sizes in balloons and how many they hold. Ours held 8 – 4 either side in a fairly cramped area. Everything is carefully calculated depending on size and weight of passengers.
The balloon is unpacked/unwrapped and stretched out to its full length. Everyone is asked to participate in all the preparations in getting the balloon inflated. Large fans are used to force the hot air through the chanel of the balloon as it slowly inflates.
Ballooning starts early in the morning at 6.00am. at the Winward Office where hot drinks and biscuits are a welcomed sight. Depending on the wind conditions you either prepare to take off from the airfield or you are transported to a local farmers field. Be prepared to rug up very warmly. Wear waterproof shoes as well as the grass is heavy with dew
Boating is allowed on all parts of the river within the Northam township between March 1st and September 30th. The part of the river downstream from the Peel Terrace Bridge to the weir is available for permitted crafts all year round. Those allowed include kayaks, rafts, canoes and paddle craft. No power or sail boats allowed.
Winward Balloon Adventures operates out of North and is Western Australia's oldest and most experienced Commercial Balloon companies. The operate April to late November and offer Champagne Balloon flights daily. At other times of the year, the hot and windy conditions make it unsuitable for ballooning. The 45 min balloon rides take you over the picturesque Avon Valley.
Northam is the starting point for Australia's wildest white water classic. Held every year in August, the 2 day event is a gruelling 133km covers a route from North to Perth and involves canoes, kayaks, dinghies, small motor boats and surf skies. There are many vantage points along the way to view this event.

GAZA CITY, Feb 14 (IPS) - In the driving rain, Suhail el-Amoudi stands on the wharf of the Gaza City port looking out over the aged and weathered fishing boats as they bob perilously amid the swells of a Mediterranean winter storm.
But for el-Amoudi, a 30-year veteran fisher of Gaza's waters, it is not the waves or the wind that concerns him. Rather, it is the Israeli naval vessel on the horizon, clearly visible despite the storm.
Throughout the last three decades at sea, El-Amoudi has seen many changes -- but there is always one constant of life in Gaza: "The Israelis are the key to the experience," he said. "Their presence is always felt."
Particularly since the Palestinian uprising began in September of 2000, Israel has been "tightening the noose" on Gaza's fishers, said El-Amoudi. The fisherman added that while relations between the Israel Defence Forces and Gaza's fishermen have never been good, "it has also never been this bad."
Consequently, the wharfs are sparsely populated and the markets are all but completely empty of fish.
Gaza port is now a museum of derelict fishing skiffs whose cost of repair far outpaces the resources of their owners.
"My boat needs 20,000 dollars in maintenance," said el-Amoudi, adding that the predicament has condemned him to poverty. Emptying his pockets of two Israeli shekels (50 cents), el-Amoudi told IPS with a wry smile, "this won't do."
There are some 433 boats registered at the Gaza port, but only a tiny fraction of them are seaworthy.
Fewer still risk the Israeli-imposed ban on Gaza's fishermen.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), there has been an absolute ban on fishing in Gaza's waters at least 40 percent of the time since October 2003.
Since late June 2006 -- almost eight months -- the ban has been total.
Collectively, Palestinian fishermen have seen their monthly catch drop from 823 tonnes in June 2000 to as low as 50 in late 2006.
The number of registered fishermen has also dropped significantly, from as many as 5,000 in the 1980s to less than 3,000 today, according to the UN.
At least 35,000 people directly rely on the fishing industry for subsistence, amid poverty levels that the UN pegs at more than 80 percent in Gaza.
In 2000, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics valued the industry at 10 million dollars; today it is a shadow of that productivity.
The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) Department of Fisheries has delivered a grim assessment that the entire industry will have collapsed by the end of 2007 if there is not a drastic change in policy by the Israelis towards Gaza's fishermen.
The United Nations agencies active in Gaza reaffirmed the PNA's dire forecast in a comprehensive report in late 2006.
A recent UN Consolidated Appeals Process report stated that if the "trigger factors" for the crisis remain, "food insecurity will continue to rise at a sharp rate with an adverse impact on vulnerable groups."
Scarcity has led to a precipitous rise in the price of fish, which is now priced beyond almost all of Gaza's 1.5 million people.
The World Food Programme, which feeds about a quarter of a million of Gaza's most destitute, has issued an urgent appeal over malnutrition resulting from the removal of fish and other animal proteins from the diet in Gaza.
According to the WFP, fish protein accounted for at least a third of protein Gaza's mostly refugee population consumed.
In a comprehensive assessment sanctioned by the PNA and the Israeli government in the months leading up to Israel's "disengagement" of settlers from Gaza in 2005, the World Bank stated that the collapse of the Palestinian economy was "among the worst in modern history."
The World Bank cited Israel's closure regime as "above all" responsible for the economic crisis.
This assessment would put Israel in violation of article 52 of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949), to which Israeli is a signatory. Article 52 states: "No contract, agreement or regulation shall impair the right of any worker, whether voluntary or not."
The article continues: "All measures aiming at creating unemployment or at restricting the opportunities offered to workers in an occupied territory, in order to induce them to work for the Occupying Power, are prohibited."
Since late June, when an Israeli soldier was taken captive by Palestinian militants during what one Israeli military source called "a daring commando raid" on an Israeli army post on the Gaza border, there has been a total ban on fishing.
The Israeli army asserts the ban is imposed to prevent Palestinian militants from squirreling the captured soldier to Egypt by sea.
A cursory study of the disabled and bullet-riddled boats beached at the Gaza Port reveals that many fishermen defy the Israeli ban and have paid a significant price.
"What is our choice," asked el-Amoudi, as he weighed the impact of his family going hungry versus the danger of fishing the tiny Gaza coastline.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza has been monitoring the closure regime and its weekly reports invariably include attacks on fisherman and their equipment by Israeli forces.
Said a recent PCHR report: "Fishermen have been subjected to intensive monitoring by the Israeli occupation forces, which use helicopters gunships and gunboats" against the small fishing crafts.
Palestinian fishermen are routinely arrested and shot at by the Israeli navy.
In the past year, four fishermen have been killed after being attacked by Israeli forces. Dozens have been arrested.
Between Jan. 11 and Jan. 17, at least 14 of Gaza's fishermen were detained by the Israelis well inside the mandated Palestinian fishing area.
Three of those arrested in mid-January are still in custody and have not been heard from since, according to PCHR.
Palestinians are often compelled to fish within a few hundred metres of the beach, or even cast their homemade nets from the shoreline.
The Oslo Peace Accords stipulate that Palestinian fishermen are entitled to 20 nautical miles off the Gaza coastline, but el-Amoudi is categorical in asserting that that freedom was never realised.
"As soon as you leave the dock you are in Jewish waters," said El-Amoudi. "They make no distinction." (END/IPS/MM/PI/IP/IF/HD/JO/SS/07) (END/2007)

Prime Minister John Key is using the Syrian crisis to urge reform of the United Nations Security Council as he garners support in New York for New Zealand's bid to hold a seat on the United Nations body.
Key arrived in New York this morning NZT for a whirl of diplomatic meet-and-greets where he will press New Zealand's case for a non-permanent seat on the council in 2015-16.
The UN General Assembly opened this morning with a challenge from United States President Barack Obama for countries to do more to end Syria's civil war.
More than 100,000 people have died in the conflict and countries including the US and New Zealand have accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or using chemical weapons in his bid to put down a rebellion against him.
"Our response has not matched the scale of the challenge," Obama said.
"The crisis in Syria and the destabilisation of the region goes to the heart of the broader challenges the international community must now face."
Obama called for the quick passage of a Security Council resolution enforcing an agreement negotiated by Russia under which Assad would give up his chemical weapons arsenal, and said it was the "bare minimum" that the UN must do.
Key said the crisis underscored the need for Security Council reform.
"We desperately believe there should be reform of the security council," he said.
That reform included expanding the basis on which non-permanent members served on the council, and ruling out power of Security Council member countries to use their power to veto action against potential genocide or war crimes.
"These are situations where a veto is sometimes potentially used at the huge human cost of those involved and we think that's wrong," he said.
The prime minister said the evidence was "very clear" that the Assad regime used chemical weapons against its own people "and we don't think the veto should be used essentially to stop the Security Council taking firm action against Syria".
Russia and China have vetoed various resolutions against Syria.
They also warned the US against a military strike in response to the latest chemical weapons attack.
Key said that while military action was "not necessarily" the answer, the Assad regime should be held to account "and those chemical weapons shouldn't be in control of a leader who's used them against his own people".
At the moment "the best offer on the table" was the deal negotiated by Russia for Syria to surrender its chemical weapons arsenal.
"But it doesn't take away from the fact that it's been an awfully long time for action to be taken whatever that action is," he said.
"I think that shows you there's a part of the UN Security Council that's not working."

You may not be an 'extreme' couponer, and saving a few dollars here and there may not be worth your time. But what about up to $10,000 in coupons?
The IRS has nearly five figures of savings just waiting for you in the tax version of coupons, a.k.a. tax credits. A credit directly reduces your tax bill—what you owe—just as coupons cut your spending totals. And tax credits don't happen automatically. You need to claim them to get your savings.
[Related: 20 Tax Changes You Need to Know About]
Here are some credits you can't afford to let pass by:
Many Americans saw their income drop or stay low in 2011 so if you made $49,078 or less last year, make sure to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, which can be as high as $5,700 for the year. That's ample savings.
Parents and families have several credits available as well. The Child Tax Credit is worth up to $1,000 per qualifying child but phases out starting at $75,000 in income if you're a single filer, $110,000 for joint filers. And if you were working or looking for work in 2011 and had to pay for childcare, you can claim a portion of those childcare costs as a Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit of up to $3,000 for one child or $6,000 for two.
Education is pricey enough so we can use all the savings we can get. There are two large education tax credits that you or a family member may be eligible for. The American Opportunity Credit of up to $2,500 is available if you or a dependent (or spouse) is enrolled at least halftime in a four year undergraduate degree program. This credit is for those first four years only, so there's no credit should Junior take more than that to graduate. Generally, you need to make less than $80,000 adjusted gross income as a single filer and $160,000 as a joint filer to qualify. The credit goes beyond tuition to also cover fees, books and supplies.
[Related: Hashtags Can Now Save You Money When You Shop]
The second educational credit is the Lifetime Learning Credit, which very much belongs to folks going beyond the four years of undergrad, such as with continuing education programs as well as classes to improve job skills. No need to be going for a degree here, but income limits are lower, at $60,000 for a single filer and $120,000 for joint filers. Keep in mind that you can only take one of these educational credits at a time, and they cannot be combined with deductions you may want to take for tuition and fees.
No need for scissors to clip these 'coupons', but the savings are real.

A great debate underway regarding the successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke seems to come down to economists Lawrence Summers or Janet Yellen. The debate is full of interesting insight but it's the immediate challenges of the Fed that matter more.
Both Summers and Yellen have remarkable credentials. Both have led the council of economic advisers and are related to Nobel Prize winners. Summers has been secretary of the U.S. Treasury; Yellen was president of the San Francisco Fed. Yellen is a former dean at Cal Berkeley; Summers is a former president of Harvard.
Both are center-left economists whose academic research is foundational to our understanding of many major problems the world faces. Both are fine classroom teachers. It is worth recognizing that both could easily earn 10 times the Fed chairman's salary in the private sector.
Many in the president's party are pushing hard for Yellen because of gender and against Summers because he is linked to the financial services sector. Both arguments are silly, of course. To raise Yellen's gender as a qualification diminishes her astonishing accomplishments. She is as well-qualified as anyone living.
The anti-Summers argument is equally absurd, but for the American left, the financial sector has replaced mining as public enemy No. 1. I don't know why, for the financial sector — especially Wall Street — has long been a friend of Democrats.
I can only surmise the left's hatred shifted from mining to finance following the 2008 election. It could be the EPA has so slowed mining that it has dropped off the radar of alleged evildoers, or it could also be that the recession dried up campaign donations from the financial sector.
The absurdity of this is that the Federal Reserve is the largest regulator of the banking system. Intimate familiarity with the financial sector is necessary for the job, but that is not the prime challenge facing the Fed.
The great problem facing the Federal Reserve in the years to come lies in deciding how and when to tighten monetary policy. The next chair must communicate these decision points to a skeptical public and policymakers. This involves explaining the results of complex mathematical models to reporters and members of Congress, which is not a trivial task.
If these were normal times, Summers would have an edge. He is a masterful macroeconomic researcher. However, these are especially abnormal times, and Yellen's research, including important macroeconomic work, gives her the edge. Whichever economist the president chooses is ready for the job.
Michael Hicks is director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University.

Summers and Yellen top the list

The Future of Construction in Malaysia to 2015: Commercial Construction Activity to Remain Strong
- Published: July 2011
- Region: Malaysia
Business Monitor International's Malaysia Real Estate Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, real estate associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Malaysia's Real Estate industry.
The Malaysian economy is forecast to slow from the strong growth in 2010 of 7.2% to a more moderate 4.9% in 2011 and 4.2% in 2012. The growth is forecast to be driven largely by domestic consumption and investment. While the government has been cautious on fiscal spend in 2010 BMI is forecasting the government to increase spending in 2011 underpinning our growth projections. Against this backdrop the real estate sector in Malaysia is forecast to be relatively firm, the main hindrance being new supply particularly in the commercial property sector. When we spoke to them in mid-2011, our in-country sources were reasonably upbeat.
The commercial office space supply increased further in 2011. As a result the vacancy levels in Kuala Lumpur are 10-15% constraining the outlook for rental rate increases. Rents, absorption and occupancy rates are expected to track sideways, as supply and vacancy

The Energy Department will take delivery on Wednesday of what the Government says is the world's fastest computer, capable of a peak performance of 3.88 trillion calculations, or teraflops, a second.
Clinton Administration officials said today that the supercomputer, which is being assembled at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, operates at about 15,000 times the speed of a 350-megahertz personal computer.
The computer, built by the International Business Machines Corporation, uses 5,800 processor chips, each slightly more powerful than the widely sold Pentium II chip made by the Intel Corporation, said people involved in its development. Livermore, a nuclear weapons lab, will use it for simulations that determine, without detonation, whether aging nuclear weapons are still operable.
In remarks prepared for delivery on Wednesday, Vice President Al Gore said that beyond weapons research, the technology of the computer, known as massively parallel architecture, ''will lead to advances and greater understanding of weather patterns, global climate change, medicine, manufacturing and aviation safety.''

Wait - Wuh?? Some Hostess Workers Feel 'Relief' at Losing Jobs ??????????

Hey Phennommennonn -
12 years ago when the I.T. departments had a 'CIO' level, the tech field was booming and great. Then came the fall.
As businesses saw computers and their support structure as a 'cost' rather than a 'revenue generator', more and more companies dumped the 'CIO' level and put I.T. departments under a business manager. Thats when the pay cuts started.
I knew two guys - both programmers at the same company making 80k in 2004. Their entire department had an across the board cut in pay of 50%, so as to not make it look like any one person was singled out.
Now, going from 80k to 40k in a week is still 40k to live off of. One ended in divorce and then lost his job due to the drama involved, then lost everything and ended up homeless.
The second guy stayed around until he found a better job, and he found a better paying job though he had to relocate from Florida to California. His marriage did not make it though.
My point? Some families get so used to a certain income and never think it will happen to them. In these two cases both lost their marriages over a 50% cut in pay. Some handle it better than others.
As for those glad Hostess closed down, all I can say is sometimes when we have had enough we just want it to end. However it ends doesn't matter anymore. This is they dying of the American spirit of upward mobility to the new downward mobility.
Until we have a POTUS and Senate which promotes business and upward mobility instead of 'Revenge', I fear this is the new normal.
Sad, isn't it.

This guy has it. In the last months of hostess the hired up a liquidation expert and granted pay raises to CEOs in the range of 200%-300%. A 2.5 billion dollar a year company going bankrupt doesn't act the way they were unless they were simply using the bankruptcy as a tool towards union busting. This gave them only two potential outcomes, both favoring those who have the leverage. Either the workers take the pay cuts, cuts in benefits, and removal of pension, or they go bankrupt and sell off. Either way they know they can all go from 500k-700k a year to a 2m+ a year.
Welcome to corporate America. Everything is a cost and when looked at it is no longer "How does this benefit us" it is "can we do without this?" This approach of greed will continue to promote downward mobility as the elite in-fight with who is the "most elite" while hardworking Americans lose their jobs. As if that wasn't enough they have to listen to mouth breathers who don't get it give them a hard time.

Thank you AC 15680976. 'Downward mobility' seems to be the new normal. What do you think?

Nurse practitioners will play larger role in future
- Angela Mueller
As the shortage of primary care physicians continues to escalate, more opportunities may be opening for nurses and nurse practitioners.
The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that by 2015 there will be a national shortage of about 21,000 primary care physicians. Some of these gaps in care could be filled by an increasing number of nurse practitioners. The number of nurse practitioners practicing in the United States increased 12 percent to reach an estimated 158,348 in 2008, up from 141,209 in 2004, according to a 2010 report from the federal Health Resources Services Administration.
"They extend the reach of and access to the physician," said Mike Castellano, chief executive of Esse Health, one of the region's largest independent physician practices. Esse, which has projected $100 million in revenue for 2010, has 79 physicians on staff and about 25 nurse practitioners.
"I don't think they'll ever replace the actual physician, but nurse practitioners fill a great role, especially when you're trying to keep patients healthy," Castellano said.
More than 3,701 nurse practitioners were active in the state of Illinois in 2009, according to a report by the American Journal for Nurse Practitioners. Missouri had 3,430 in practice.
Peggy Ellis, associate dean of the Saint Louis University School of Nursing and a nurse practitioner, expects the role of the nurse practitioner to expand as the primary care shortage becomes more severe.
"I don't know if we're really seeing a lot of it yet," she said. "The nurse practitioner role is becoming more popular, but there's still a lack of knowledge about what nurse practitioners are and what they do.

Nearly 30% of millionaires in China are women – hence, in order to look after their interests properly, there is a growing demand for female bodyguards. security agencies impart necessary training to these bodyguards dressed in their bikinis on the Sanya beach. These bodyguards are needed by female entrepreneurs, pop stars as well members of their families who are vulnerable to external attacks.
In keeping with this demand, schools have mushroomed to train girls to take up this challenging career option. The curriculum includes reconnaissance and stamina training, martial arts, language and business etiquette. They have to also hone their skills in driving and getting bottles smashed on their heads.
At the end of successful training these girls can land jobs that pay well - of $500 per month – this is more as compared to the males in similar profession.
