It has pretty much already ended. Madoff is the answer.
He'll declare that radio is dead when his contract expires. A Larry King type TV gig follows before eventually replacing his pal Letterman.
Hopefully with Malone riding off into the sunset with all of Wiggy's marbles...
Murder-suicide most likely.
Please don't cock block me on Twitter
I think he's shit all over his legacy. He'll go out with a whimper...and maybe in 5-10 years people will be able to forget the huge shit fest the HSS became during the 'revolution'. Only then will people be able to remember the laughter.
he'll go out with 5 almonds in one hand. a tiny vial of amyl nitrate in the other, and a 26" fake black rubber fist and forearm in his ass.
Howard would love to get a prime time talk show but I don't think TV executives would ever take him seriously. I don't think he's that good of an interviewer. He likes to play amateur psychologist too much. Howard thinks he's a psychology expert based on his years of therapy. His show has turned into an audition for a talk show with Howard supposedly demonstrating his "awesome" interview skills, which amount to him being a kiss up flatterer and saying "uh huh uh huh uh huh" after everything the D list guest says. And with his new dentures/veneers, he sounds like Sylvester the Cat most of the time.
not sure, but it's obvious that after this he'll do podcasting (thus why robin is forever in ISDN land... testing the long-term waters).
"it is what it is."
Can't wait for him to fail HARD on podcast...he makes 700 grand a show now? He'd be lucky to make that in one podcast YEAR...reality check coming in like a 350-pound linebacker.
I see him doing interviews like the old Groucho.
It's going to be sad because he'll talk about how he essentially invented modern entertainment. He'll pat himself on the back constantly.
He's gonna get angry again over something and and serve up some listenable radio. I don't think he can keep doing this, he's got to get sick of himself and the phony photos already.
He'll sweep up the spotlight with a broom and tug on his earlobe.

This traditional Middle Eastern dip made with chickpeas, garlic, lemon, tahini and olive oil.
Comments: 44 | Views: 25681 | Success: 98% |
Yum! I make a similar hummus, but a bit looser (juice of one lemon, a little more oil, and sometimes a little water to smooth it out). I find it thickens back up as it rests.
It's also quite good finished with olive oil and a dusting of paprika instead of cracked pepper.
How long does tahini keep, and what is the best way to store it? I only use it occasionally when I make hummus, so I hate to buy large quantities.
If stored in the refrigerator after opening Tahini will keep for months and months. AS for buying it in larger quantities I agree, smaller quantities are usually better. With all nut butters it's best to buy them fresh and use them up sooner than later. But fear not, tahini will keep for a very long time. Just a suggestion, try using some of your tahini to make a dressing, it's really very good.
This hummus is definately the best hummus that my family and I have had. It is so easy to make and is so delicious. It is definately better than any hummus that you will get in a restaurant or grocery store. I love the fact that I can make it for my family without all of the perservatives that you would get if you buy it in the grocery store. Thank you Rouxbe for the great recipe.
Toast a cup of raw sesame seeds in a small skillet, stirring over low heat until they are fragrant. Don't overdo it because they can very quickly become bitter from over-cooking. Allow to cool. Using a food processor or stick blender with container, whirl them up until they are like a fluffy nut butter. Add to hummus mixture - it's a revelation! Experiment with different toasting times. Make extra, blend with salt and you have gomasio - sesame salt! Delectable, nutty condiment for almost anything you can think of. The more you can reduce the elements of a simple dish like hummus, the more you can appreciate the subtleties of each ingredient!
I do it separately as I want to the garlic to be minced as fine as possible before I add the chickepeas. I also don't want the chickpeas to be too mushy, which is why I add them after the garlic.
That being said, you can do it however you like. Perhaps you might enjoy a few bigger chunks of garlic...up to you. This is just the way I enjoy it and it really only takes another second in the food processor. Cheers!
Reserve some of the liquid from the canned chickpeas to use in achieving the consistency you seek. The liquid has lots of flavor and the extra richness improves the mouth-feel. This weekend I heard an NPR food program where the host advised that excessively-thick hummus could be thinned with more olive oil (!!!) or, forgive me, removing the skins from the chickpeas. Where in the world do they dig up this stuff? Color me very disappointed.
I have heard of this as well...in fact, I did a post about it a while back. It really does make for super smooth hummus, just not sure if I have the patience for it.
Here is the URL for the post, if you are interested.
I hope its the last time i hear and see black pepper in my hummus.
to finish off any good humus(trust me im middle eastern) you need papprica and a dash of cumin, and a good splash of olive oil.
regarding the hummus itself heres a few professional tips:
the lemon, salt, pepper(white and optional), and tahini are to be combined seperatly in order to MAKE a tahini.
raw tahini is great on salads and such, but in order to make tahini sauce you need the lemon juice and garlic and salt and water to make it the back bone of any good hummus.
after you have made your tahini sauce, you can either add in some parsly and enjoy over a warm pita bread, or keep it for your hummus.
next, you need to avoid completely from canned hummus, there are so many muslims around the world...go get the peas yourself, its easy and heaps cheaper, and i promise you it tastes much better.
then you let them rest over night in a bowl of water, you may also add a splash of club soda, and by morning they should double or triple in size, WHICH, will break free the skin and no more hard work seperating that...nature does it all by itself.
after you have done that, you can go on as shown here...pulse the hummus few times, add the tahini, and you done. olive oil comes last, as garnish.
if you wanna make it super delicious, and super authentic, u strain the peas and place them in a large pot, fill in with water, juice from one lemon, with the lemon itself, cumin as desired, and salt and pepper also and cook untill they become soft, and then puree it all together.
if not thick enough, u can always add raw tahini as it thickens everything it touches.
and yet another tip dear Dawn, for your peanut sauce...try to add some raw tahini to it, it goes extremely well with the nutty flavors and again, works as a thickening agent, and it loves spices
I actually tried the club soda method as one of the users stated above, but it did not work for me and I left them soaking in them for a couple of hours. Still I decided I wanted to try the hummus without the skin so I peeled them by hand (with my bf's help) and it came out really smooth and creamy and was delicious!!
Buy the dried beans yourself, soak them in water over night - its better to change the water at least once during the night.
Cook the beans over small heat for few hours, replacing the water 2-3 times during the cooking, start with fresh cold water every time and rinse the beans tossing them around - it will help to peal them later.
Baking soda might speed up the cooking time but I personally don't like the aftertaste.
When the beans are very soft peal them and while still hot move them to a food processor. Keep some of the last cooking water to moist the paste and keep some beans for decoration.
After the beans are smooth add the raw tahini, lemon juice, garlic (I like it chopped), salt, paprika and little bit cumin powder. If the paste is to thick just add little bit of the cooking water. There is no need to add olive oil to the paste.
Try serving the Humus fresh and hot :-)
I'm with Jack E. I always make fresh tahini, which is very simple to do. I also avoid canned chick peas (garbanzo beans) and make them fresh using a pressure cooker. I soak the dried chick peas overnight and then add a bit of olive oil and lemon juice to the refreshed cooking water. Only 17 minutes from start to finish and, with the pressure cooker method, the skins practically fall off on their own.
Great recipe. Hope this helps.

New Director for Master of Health Administration Program
Dr. Julie Agris brings wide-ranging experience to MHA program
Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. -- Dr. Julie Agris, a health care attorney with a doctoral degree in health policy who has worked in government, academia and private industry, has been named Director of the Master of Health Administration program and will become a full-time faculty member in the Department of Health Professions and Kinesiology.
Dr. Agris, who has been corporate compliance director and privacy officer at North Shore-LIJ Health System, an adjunct professor at Hofstra since July 2008 and a faculty member of the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, took on her new post Aug. 1. She holds a law degree from American University, a Master of Laws in Health Law from the University of Houston and a doctorate in Health Policy from Brandeis University.
"I am truly honored to have the opportunity to offer my background as an asset to the students of Hofstra's MHA program," Dr. Agris said. "I look forward to continuing to support our students' enthusiastic efforts to make meaningful contributions to the improvement of patient care during such a significant time in the development of our health care system."
With a wide-ranging professional background that mixes corporate, public policy and provider experience, Dr. Agris has a grasp of the challenges facing health care providers and policymakers. She has served as Legislative Counsel to the Vermont General Assembly, as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. She also was a Vice President and General Counsel of Vantage Holding Company, LLC, a large consortium of hospitals based in Pennsylvania.
"With her breadth of experience and understanding of health policy from a variety of perspectives," said SOEHHS Dean Nancy Halliday, "Dr. Agris is the ideal person to run our Master of Health Administration program and train the next generation of health professionals."
Dr. Corinne Kyriacou, associate professor of community health, assistant chair of the Department of Health Professions and Kinesiology and interim director of the MHA program agreed.
"Dr. Agris brings both academic rigor and practical experience to the MHA program – her expertise and corporate insight into health law issues and the impact of new policy reforms will have on health facilities will serve our students extremely well, Dr. Kyriacou said.
Hofstra University's MHA program is a 45-48 credit course of study designed for aspiring and committed professionals interested in leadership positions in health services administration in a variety of settings, such as as hospitals, managed care organizations, medical group practices, ambulatory, long-term care, and home health care facilities, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, government, for profit, and nonprofit sector organizations.

I just moved to the Adelaide Hills this summer from Brisbane so I have never had a need for a cycling jacket.
I have been looking to get one online but I'm not sure which jacket I will need. I have seen very few that have fleece or similar material on the inside, most are rather thin like a wind vest.
Is a decent waterproof jacket going to be satisfactory when it gets really cold in the hills? (I usually ride around Summertown/Mt Lofty)
What do you guys wear?
So many factors to think about, you'll be the one to know in the end:
yep shoe covers are the go. got mine out yesterday after summer, and man did i feel toastie!
On the coldest mornings i get away with full length baselayer bottoms with bibs over the top, singlet, jersy and arm warmers, and a lightweight windproof gilette. and a bandanna covering my ears! phew! now with all that gear it takes about 2 hours to get dressed, but it'll work to temps down to about 5 degrees.
I have been pleased with my Ground Effect jacket. Made in NZ and they do returns for wrong sizes, just email them and post it back and the replacement will sent back at no extra cost.
I currently use the Dr Smock:
I like it because it can also be used just as a vest in Spring and Autumn and the whole thing folds up inside it's own pocket and will fit in the back pocket of my jersey. It is "shower proof" but will not keep you dry in proper rain. Then you will need something more hard core but it didn't sound like that was what you were looking for.
My personal preference is for lighter jackets as I tend to find the heavy rainproof jackets like goretex too heavy for riding up in the hills. But if you are going to be in the rain for a few hours ....
+1 for toe warmers, thin gloves for under bike gloves and headbands that cover your ears. All small things you can take off when the ride starts to heat up.
If it gets really cold I take a neck warmer but that is really only used at the start of rides when I am riding down out of the hills and the temp is < 5C.
I roll in the rain, hail, snow, wind, cold, etc.....
If the atmosphere is putting on a good show for me in winter, I throw on a combination of either of this Ground Effect stuff -
Two Timer - jacket
Flash Gordon - Rain jacket
Baked alasks - thermal jersey with windproof front
Helter Skelters - keeps the mud off the legs - a little
Gloves and socks - to keep the sensitivity up.
I also managed to pilfer a set of Shimano over the top longs that are windproof (not water though) from Chain Reaction Cycles for $100 - really good things.
I rarely (maybe once or twice a winter) throw ALL of this on. If you misjudge it, you'll be sweating more than you care for. Most brand names can produce something similar to this stuff.
I MTB and road ride regardless of weather - some of this stuff also works well on my motorbike (under the armour layer).
CyclingDeal.com.au have some specials on winter gear. See http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=7a6b9e2d5b2d154c3dba98b77&i...
I find it's essential to cover ears from wind and cold. once you're moving, it doesn't feel so cold for the rest. But I am Canadian and cold has a different meaning there!!!

Yes joining us now is John Hammer's family attorney -- -- Levy he is with us live from Mexico City good morning -- Good morning Alison good to talk to you you to let me make sure that we have this story correct John has been held since August he was traveling.
Through Mexico.
On a road trip with a buddy there were going to Costa Rica to go surfing why did John have this antique gun with him.
I'll tell you that way that I understand is that we're gonna go hunting.
To Costa Rica Nicaragua and what they have was his single shotgun in you win a Bible kind of a camper.
And so they have to go -- Mexico to get over there of course and that's where they were gonna -- -- which is basically it's fourteen gun used in the United States of America.
Okay and he did all the right things he declared the gun he did he filled out all the paperwork he alerted officials.
That he had begun and yet they still arrested him now we understand of the prison where he's being held is notorious.
For housing very dangerous criminals members of the -- status drug cartel doing time for murder.
We of course have also heard the reports that he's been change it.
To his bed in his cell because they feared.
The officials in the prison -- that he might.
Try to escape now the State Department was asked about all of this yesterday so let me play you their response.
This is un believable that the Mexican government.
Is not stepping in to help us while they take our money and take all the help we give them.
And it's incredible.
There our own the US government is not doing all that we can.
To bring hammer home for Christmas.
The cut that family deserves this he's done nothing wrong.
I that was actually really and a Ross -- and she's the congresswoman who's leading the charge to get him out with the State Department told us.
We fix those problems he's now out of the general population he's no longer in danger and he's not being change in his bed is that accurate.
Let me let me take this one by one because that -- you're you're free preamble it's correct up to point.
There was something very wrong that took place in the first place well when he went to Mexico.
He stopped in did you is -- site.
And he -- it Customs and Border Protection agent.
Whether it was legal to take -- gone to Mexico to shut them.
He responded yes all you have to do is field this paperwork and then -- -- on your way.
He -- paperwork but that -- -- what was really to come back into the United States.
The United States customs you know of a personal had no business telling them because they don't know what Mexican law states.
Mexico all states that certain kind of weapons with a we'd like it or not.
-- -- -- there if they're deemed to be for the exclusive use of the armed forces.
That's the issue here when I'm on the.
-- just another -- he got misinformation he he didn't understand that what the rules were so again this seems like if technicality.
It -- two countries that are allies could be quickly resolved why is he still in prison from August.
Personable it has to be result under the law I mean did that the you know the Boris they would -- phone call.
Things can happen we -- -- just that we haven't noticed is the court system well let me let me let me put a little more -- into this New York correct.
I filed three -- -- federal injunctions.
One should've been dubbed given to be about four weeks ago the prosecutor didn't even respond that.
Because we have glitch and we proved violations of Doug Johns Mexican constitutional rights and I'm still waiting right now for the -- to issue.
He's just been because he could be free within 24 hours once he -- those violations.
-- we talked to the judge.
More than two times I know we're gonna do we need to we're gonna take it upstairs you know would -- to the Mexican Supreme Court OK but by by right now.
By not that this is an issue it is a technicality.
But -- -- he gets better here.
You see the caliber of the -- which is a point 410.
It's what it's being new dawn for the exclusive use of the army the gauges of the bullets for the non exclusive use of the army -- shut -- And the only difference between making it okay or just like -- administrative fine.
It's point eighteen merely meters -- the -- -- your finger -- them about it.
What's ridiculous but -- edit any there's a lot of stuff here that it taken on face value does sound.
Ridiculous -- understanding you say it has to go through court process okay so is he getting a trial is he scheduled for trial.
He though he he has but but but I'll tell you up right now putting them in the Mexican judicial system.
-- -- because of two judges really and a prosecutor who we would -- -- he's up prosecutorial discretion.
That he could have used -- -- the first prosecutor made a big mistake in measuring to shut down.
The prosecutor's own expert had another measurement so I -- my expert because we believe.
Anyway that that -- -- -- -- -- there with -- that was taken.
That's -- -- did -- -- liberty and and present right now but we believe but we're very very -- judge is gonna come home I'll tell you that.
-- well I -- I -- comforted by your optimism because as we also know.
John suffers from PT EST he served multiple tours of duty.
In Afghanistan and Iraq in fact she was in a gun battle in Fallujah in 2004 how is he doing today.
Let let me tell you because I haven't spoken to him lately his family has we decided to do.
Two separate little bit -- some strategy that I -- not at liberty to discuss but some of the court hearings.
John and -- tell you -- football the week it's great -- -- pushing for him and then we need your help in that.
But -- -- tell you.
John is that tough cookie let me tell you you know separate by the Marines prepare really good you know not used to -- that is something also which is very true.
He was moved over when I got into the case because other lawyers have been there.
And there was some legal maneuvering if you will that took place.
After this I spoke to the judge personally because I wanted to cross examine the Mexican customs agent that should have released them anyway.
There were two court hearings.
Set 14 November 17 one for November 23.
So the judge compete -- a hearing to -- seventeen and I said okay.
On the -- thirtieth would get ready to -- trial -- -- New York with my kids in Thanksgiving.
And I got a phone call telling me that -- was sticking to court on November 20 certain.
Without you -- your press -- that's me and most important they talked to him.
And that was adamant and furious because they really want to push him.
To cut a plea guilty off course you did and because again let me tell you and -- -- first lawyers wanting him because -- are -- getting three years I don't know but I don't deplete I -- -- but I have to plea to felony.
Right of course not Whitman in new York and -- of his innocence as he is as is I -- his down I am convinced we hear him.
And -- gonna bring him out that that we like your optimism adding there and Levy thanks so much for the update on exactly what is going on down there.
My pleasure I was so thanks for having me.
And everybody keep writing letters you pick your -- please in the I feel the support especially bring spiritually because that we've got all out of -- couple of judges as well we're gonna put.
I'm going to be -- -- its radar right now I'm sure are playing with the judiciary.

Government, Council, Community and Youth Working Together
The Hastings District Council today launched its Growing Communities programme providing work opportunities for over 50 local unemployed youths.
The scheme, which is funded by the government's Community Max initiative, offers youths six months' work on a range of community projects helping them gain work experience and new skills.
Community Max was launched in August and subsidises wages and training costs for unemployed 16 to 24 year-olds with the aim of providing a stepping stone into.unsubsidised employment.
The Council's Growing Communities is believed to be one of the first such programmes, where a council will employ recruits and supervisors on behalf of community groups under the Community Max umbrella.
Mayor Yule says without Growing Communities,,many of these groups would not have the resources to employ staff and since announcing the scheme, council has been flooded with community groups that need help on their projects.
Mayor Yule, who opened today's welcome ceremony, says this programme is a community-driven scheme which will tackle a number of social issues.
"Many of the groups have sought out the recruits from within their own communities. This programme will not only give the young people involved new skills but it will also give them a positive connection with their own communities," Mayor Yule says.
"Growing Communities encourages community groups to see the opportunities in their own backyard to allow youth to positively contribute to their communities - developing valuable citizens."
Annie Aranui, Regional Commissioner for Social Development, says Council is the perfect vehicle for a scheme like this because it can tap into its own existing networks in the community.
"Community Max offers great opportunities for the future of young people and their families," Ms Aranui says.
The recruits will start work on community projects and the recruits are approved by Work and Income. Council has also invited local training organisations to participate in today's induction, to ensure recruits gain formal qualifications during the programme.

Human development and understanding ourselves contributes to new realities. The vastness of our human being is full of untold potential. Our capacities to feel, sense and know involve innate sense beyond the standard five recognized by science. Such documented events as Near Death Experiences, Astral travel, remote viewing and telekinesis all involve our greater human potentialities and are our human birthright.
Reprinted from the book What Are You Hungry For? The Chopra Solution to Permanent Weight Loss, Well-Being, and Lightness of Soul by Deepak Chopra. Copyright 2013 by Deepak Chopra. Published by Harmony Books, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House LLC, a Penguin Random House Company. Deepak will be giving an evening lecture and book signing on What Are You Hungry For? on Monday, November 11 at 7pm.
If you want to return to your ideal weight, two choices face you. You can go on a diet or do something else. This book is about that something else. Dieting involves the wrong kind of motivation, which is why it rarely leads to the desired goal. You are taking the route of self-denial and doing without. Every day on a diet involves struggling against your hunger and fighting for self-control. Is there a more unsatisfying way to live?
Weight loss needs to be satisfying in order to succeed—this is the "something else" that works after dieting has failed. If you bring the body's hunger signals back into balance, your impulse to eat becomes your ally instead of your enemy. If you trust your body to know what you need, it will take care of you instead of fighting back. It's all about getting the messages straight that connect mind and body.
Medically, I was trained to analyze hunger in terms of the rise and fall of certain hormones. Hunger is one of the most powerful chemical messages sent by the body to the brain. It shouldn't happen that a person can feel hungry right after eating a meal or that having a snack in the afternoon should lead to a second snack or a third. But I've experienced these things—as have millions of people—which means that the experience of hunger can exist even when the need for food doesn't.
It's this experience of hunger that you need to change when you find yourself overeating. Cravings and false hunger aren't the same as giving your body the fuel it needs. Your body isn't like a gas-guzzling car. It's the physical expression of thousands of messages that are being sent to and from the brain. In the act of eating, your self-image is involved, along with your habits, conditioning, and memories. The mind is the key to losing weight, and when the mind is satisfied, the body quits craving too much food.
A mind-body approach will work for you because it asks you for only one thing: Find your fulfillment. To be fulfilled is something that food alone can't do. You must nourish
• the body with healthy food
• the heart with joy, compassion, love
• the mind with knowledge
• the spirit with equanimity and self-awareness
With awareness, all of these things become possible. But if you neglect them, they move further and further out of reach.
It sounds like a paradox, but to lose weight, you need to fill yourself up. If you fill yourself up with other kinds of satisfaction, food will no longer be a problem. It was never meant to be. Eating is a natural way to feel happy. Overeating isn't. For centuries life has been celebrated at feasts, and some of these celebrations, such as wedding banquets and retirement dinners, can be the highlight of a person's life. What child doesn't brighten up when the birthday cake appears? But the delight that food brings makes overeating a peculiar and unique problem. Feeling happy, which is good for you, slides into something that's bad for you.
At this moment you fall somewhere on the sliding scale that connects food with happiness:
Normal eating ---- Overeating ---- Cravings ---- Food Addiction
Eating normally feels good.
Overeating feels good in the moment but leads to bad results in the long run.
Giving in to cravings doesn't feel good at all—remorse, guilt, and frustration set in almost immediately.
Being addicted to food brings suffering, declining health, and total lack of self-esteem.
The slippery slope to becoming overweight starts with something that's actually positive: the natural goodness of food. (You can't say the same about drugs and alcohol, which can be toxic substances even when a person isn't addicted to them.) Food nourishes us, and when eating goes wrong, we are torn between short-term pleasure (such as a delicious bite of chocolate ice cream) and long-term pain (the many drawbacks of being overweight for years at a time).
So why does normal eating start to slide into overeating? The simple answer: lack of fulfillment. You start overeating to make up for a lack somewhere else. Looking back on my medical residency, when I was still in my twenties, I can see now how bad eating habits insinuate themselves. I'd come home from a grueling shift at the hospital feeling stressed out. My mind was still filled with a dozen cases. Some patients were still in jeopardy. What awaited me at home was a loving wife and a home-cooked meal.
In terms of getting enough calories, sitting down to dinner met all the requirements. You had to look at the human situation to see the hidden problems. I had hit the coffee machine and grabbed snacks on the run at work. From lack of sleep I didn't really notice what I was eating. The minute I walked in the door I usually had a drink, and there was a half-empty pack of cigarettes lying around somewhere.
In the seventies I was a normal working male following the same habits as every other young doctor I knew. I counted myself extremely fortunate to have such a loving wife and two beautiful babies at home. But the ravenous way I dug into a nourishing home-cooked dinner, combined with all the other signs of stressed eating, was setting a pattern that was desperately wrong. Ironically, even back then I considered myself pretty aware.
What turned the corner was becoming much more aware—the solution I'm proposing in this book. No matter how much it gets abused, the body can restore balance. The first rule is to stop interfering with nature. In its natural state, the brain controls hunger automatically. When your blood sugar falls below a certain level, messages are sent to an almond-sized region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, which is responsible for regulating hunger. When it receives messages of decreased blood sugar, your hypothalamus secretes hormones to make you feel hungry, and when you've eaten enough, the hormones reverse, making you no longer hungry. This feedback loop between blood and brain operates on its own, as it has for millions of years. Any animal with a spinal cord (vertebrate) has a hypothalamus, which makes sense, because hunger is so basic.
But in humans, hunger can get interfered with quite easily. The way we feel emotionally can make us ravenous or unable to eat at all. We can be distracted and forget to eat, or we can be obsessed and think about food all day. However, we are always in search of satisfaction. There are lots of things you can fill up on besides food. Desire comes from need, starting with the most basic ones:
- Everyone needs to feel safe and secure.
- Everyone needs to feel nurtured.
- Everyone needs to feel loved and appreciated.
- Everyone needs to feel that their life is relevant and meaningful.
If you have filled these needs, food will be just one delight out of many. But countless people turn to overeating to substitute for what they really want. It becomes a game of switch-up, and often they don't even see what's happening. Is that the situation you find yourself in? Here are some common indicators.
You don't feel secure unless you are dulled by eating too much. Dullness brings a kind of calm that lasts a short while.
- You don't feel nurtured except when your taste buds are overstimulated with sugar, salt, and fat.
- You don't feel loved and appreciated, so you turn eating into "giving myself some love."
- Your life lacks meaning, but at least when you eat, the emptiness inside can be ignored for a little while.
If you stop focusing so hard on diet and calories, the story of overweight in America is the story of missed fulfillment. We have the best foods in the world at our disposal, but we gorge on the worst. We have blessed opportunities to grow and evolve, but instead we feel empty.
My goal is to bring you to a state of fulfillment. Once that begins to happen, you will stop eating for the wrong reasons. The solution is simple but profound: To lose weight, every step of the way must be satisfying. You don't have to psychoanalyze yourself; you can stop obsessing about your body and dwelling in disappointment and frustration. There is only one principle that applies: Life is about fulfillment. If your life isn't fulfilled, your stomach can never supply what's missing.

"I felt there was no separation between anything. I felt as if I were united with everything, and it was wonderful!" This recent report from a reader is a universal experience of people who are concerned with psychological and spiritual growth. This sense of connectedness is not fantasy, but is being affirmed by recent advances in consciousness research.
But where our mind is concerned, we've been more concerned with disunity than unity. During the 20th century we took the mind apart -- the conscious, the unconscious, the pre- and sub-conscious, the collective unconscious, the superego, ego, id, and so on. When we look through the other end of the telescope, however, we can see a different pattern. We can make out what I call the One Mind -- not a subdivision of consciousness, but the overarching, inclusive dimension to which all the mental components of all individual minds, past, present, and future belong. I capitalize the One Mind to distinguish it from the single, one mind that each individual appears to possess.
This is not a philosophical gambit, but is based on human experience and actual scientific experiments. Consider studies in which human neurons are separated into two batches and sealed in so-called Faraday containers that block physical communication. When one batch is stimulated with a laser, the distant batch of neurons registers the same changes at the same time.
Or consider a huge collection of neurons, the human brain. When distant individuals who are emotionally bonded are wired with encephalographs that record their brain waves, or when they are both monitored with fMRI brain scanners, when one individual's brain is visually stimulated the distant individual's EEG or fMRI scan registers the same change at the same time.
Recent studies by James Fowler at U.C. San Diego and Nicholas Christakis, then at Harvard Medical School, found that, "[E]motions have a collective existence -- they are not just an individual phenomenon."
[H]appiness is ... contagious ... Your happiness depends not just on your choices and actions, but also on the choices and actions of people you don't even know who are one, two and three degrees removed from you.
Fowler and Christakis have shown that if your friend's friend's friend becomes happy -- someone you've never met nor heard of -- that has a greater effect on your happiness than if someone put $5,000 in your pocket.
There are hundreds of additional studies that reveal the unlimited, boundless behaviors of our minds. As consciousness researcher Stephan A. Schwartz describes these experiments:
Today there are six stabilized ... protocols used in laboratories around the world exploring these ... phenomena. Under rigorous double or triple blind, randomized and tightly controlled conditions, each of these six has independently produced [odds against chance] of ... one in a billion...
The emerging image of mind is that it cannot be put in a box (or brain) and walled off from all other minds. If minds are boundless and boundaryless, as evidence suggests, in some sense all minds connect.
Throughout history many eminent scientists have glimpsed this fact. This includes Nobel physicist Erwin Schrödinger, who proclaimed, "The overall number of minds is just one ... In truth there is only one mind." And the distinguished physicist David Bohm asserted, "Deep down the consciousness of mankind is one."
Neither the experimental evidence for our connectedness nor the experience of individuals across millennia seems to make much difference to skeptics afflicted by "randomania," "statisticalitis," "coincidentitis," or "ODD" (Obsessive Debunking Disorder ). No matter. Skeptics can ignore the evidence, but they cannot wish it away. As physicist Max Planck once said, paraphrased, "Science progresses funeral by funeral."
The concept of a collective One Mind with which each individual is connected suggests a pool of intelligence that might be tapped by creative individuals. As America's great inventor, Thomas Edison, said:
People say I have created things. I have never created anything. I get impressions from the Universe at large and work them out, but I am only a plate on a record or a receiving apparatus -- what you will. Thoughts are really impressions that we get from outside.
The eminent German physicist and philosopher Baron Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker agreed. He said:
[In any great discovery] we find the often disturbing and happy experience: 'It is not I; I have not done this.' Still, in a certain way it is I -- yet not the ego ... but ... a more comprehensive self.
Our unity and connectedness as humans have taken a back seat to our obsession with individuality. Individuality should be honored; generally speaking, a species without a strong sense of individuality does not long survive on this planet. But individuality is only one side of the human coin. Neglecting the coin's other side, our collective unity, is a recipe for disaster nationally and globally, because the epidemic of selfishness and greed that has been unleashed by this unbalanced view of human nature is now threatening not only our social structure, but also the larger eco-environmental fabric and life-support systems that sustain us.
The ethical implications of our fundamental connectedness are profound. Because of our intrinsic oneness, health can never be merely personal, and neither can illness, poverty, or hunger. The unity we share requires a recalibration of the Golden Rule from, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," to "Be kind to others because in some sense they are you."
On this realization, our future on Earth may depend.

This is what seems to be occurring in the presence of a 45-year-old man from Croatia who goes by the name of Braco (pronounced Brah-tzo). For the last 18 years, Braco has been offering up a special gift that seems to help people find not only inner strength to deal with life's problems, but sometimes the full-dimensional solutions to such problems. Once working one on one, starting first with his own homelanders in Croatia and then extending worldwide, Braco has now for the last nine years been working only through the medium of his Silent Gaze with groups as large as a thousand. What's significant is that he does not present himself as a guru, healer or spiritual teacher, nor does he give interviews or speak in public. Yet somehow his Silent Gaze seems to be speaking loud and clear all by itself.
Over the last two and a half years I have been magnetized to travel from city to city to witness the profound effects of Braco's Gaze. It didn't matter which city I was in--New York, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Portland, Pasadena, Phoenix, Las Vegas--I heard story after story about profound transformations, not just for the one who was gazing, but for their friends and families as well. A hallmark of the Braco experience is that the audience is invited to hold up photos of loved ones, and the results are astonishing. I remember one event in New Jersey, where a Spanish-speaking woman said she had come the year before to hold up the photo of her husband who at the time had been hospitalized with two forms of cancer. Three weeks after she gazed with Braco, her husband was released from the hospital totally cured. The doctors, she said, were dumbfounded.
People readily share their experiences after Braco leaves the stage (he generally gazes about 5-7 minutes per session). I heard stories of back pain and sciatica mysteriously disappearing. I heard stories about people reducing their insulin levels. I heard stories about sight restored. One Polish woman told about a long-time feud between her children and her dead husband's family, between whom there had been no contact for years. After her first gazing with Braco in Los Angeles, her sister-in-law called out of the blue, sobbing and asking for forgiveness.
Some of the most impressive physical healings are shown on video throughout the 35-minute sessions (there are usually about eight sessions per day). One of the most powerful video testimonies I saw was of a young man who'd suffered a major stroke and had been immediately hospitalized. Nevertheless, he had had the presence of mind to ask his cousin to bring his laptop to the hospital so he could watch Braco live-streaming his Gaze (Braco's events are sometimes streamed live through the computer). At the time, his doctors had told him he'd probably never speak again, which made his testimony--halting but in crystal clear English--even more impressive. "I think these gazes imprint the love of the divine, " he said, explaining why gazing touched him so much. "Even though it was live-stream, I still felt the power flow forth."
But Braco's gaze seems to go beyond even physical and emotional healing. People have reported unexpected financial windfalls or suddenly getting jobs when they had struggled in the market for years. In Portland, Oregon last year, I witnessed the remarkable story of Blanca Plata, a painter from Mexico, who stunned the audience with her story.
"When I first came from my car yesterday," she told us, "I felt this immense energy hit me. Then, when I opened the door to the hotel, it felt overwhelming. When Braco came out, the energy was so strong, I started swaying, and when he looked in my eyes, I felt the energy all over my body--hot and cold, all at once." When Blanca returned home, an even bigger surprise was awaiting her. There, in her email was a letter from one of the top five galleries in New York, saying they loved her work and wanted to represent her. Shaking from head to foot, she told us, "You don't understand. I have been waiting my whole life for this. Ever since I was seven, I have wanted to be a famous artist. I've applied to thousands of galleries, and each time, they said, we love your work but no thanks. Now, with this acceptance, I can support my family and follow my lifelong dream."
Needless to say, the entire audience started crying!
In November 2012, invited by the United Nations' Society of Enlightenment and Transformation (an NGO), Braco offered his Silent Gaze to employees of the U.N. inside the Tillman Chapel in New York City. He was also presented with the prestigious Peace Pole, an honor bestowed upon such luminaries as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mother Theresa. Ten days later, a most astonishing event happened. Braco's photo was flashed three times for several seconds on the huge Jumbotron screen in Times Square. Later, Reuters, the leading newswire, reported that on that very same day--November 26--New York City had passed a 24-hour period without a single report of a person being shot, stabbed, or subjected to other violent crime.
Commenting for the city, the New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne boasted that it was "the first time in memory" that the city's police force had experienced a peaceful day.
And this, according to the NYPD, in a year when the city's general crime rate had already risen 3 percent!
Clearly, only a few thousand people may have casually looked up to see Braco's huge face on the screen--one that has broadcast the faces of Time magazine's Person of the Year as well as many other global celebrities. But the facts are there--no crime. Was it Braco's Gaze? Or, was it merely a coincidence in a world where mysterious coincidences interface with our lives every day?

If you have an interest in Qi Gong, Reiki, The Body-Mind Connection, equal rights for women, Tantra, Deep tissue massage, Rolfing, Personal Development, NLP, acupuncture, Polarity Therapy or anything thing related to mental health then it is important that you know about Wilhelm Reich.
Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897 – November 3, 1957) was a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis> , known as one of the most radical and controversial figures in the history of psychiatry. Reich worked with Sigmund Freud <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud> in the 1920s and was a respected analyst for much of his life, focusing on character structure <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_structure> rather than on individual neurotic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosis> symptoms.
He attempted to reconcile Marxism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism> and psychoanalysis, arguing that neurosis is rooted in the physical, sexual, economic, and social conditions of the patient. His work influenced a generation of intellectuals, including and shaped innovations such as Fritz Perls <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Perls> 's Gestalt therapy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_therapy> , Alexander Lowen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lowen> 's bioenergetic analysis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetic_analysis> , and Arthur Janov <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Janov> 's primal therapy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_therapy> . He was one of the first psychoanalysts who explored the concept of Qi calling it primordial <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial> cosmic energy, which he said others called God <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptions_of_God> , and that he called "orgone <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgone> ".
As he aged he promoted more and more controversial ideas, many that later became part of mainstream thinking including the availability of contraceptives, abortion, and divorce, and the importance for women of economic independence. He began to violate many of the key taboos of psychoanalysis, including using touch during sessions. His work was so radical in thought and scope and such a threat to the status Quo that in August 1956, several tons of his publications were burned <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning> by the FDA, arguably one of the worst examples of censorship in U.S. history. He was the author of several notable textbooks, including The Mass Psychology of Fascism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mass_Psychology_of_Fascism> and Character Analysis, both published in 1933. Reich's work and ideas are among the most influential in the formation of the human potential movement of the last half of the twentieth century. His ideas on Orgone, sexuality, and the link between, energy medicine, natural healing and bodywork is core to many therapies related to alternative and complementary medicine including my own and has had a powerful influence especially in the work of Fritz and Laura Perls, Alexander Lowen, Ida Rolf and others.
If you are a wellness professional or seek to move beyond superficial ideas in your work I recommend exploring Reich
Lewis Harrison, the author of the ebook "Healing Depression Naturally", available through Amazon-Kindle. Lewis is a speaker, consultant, and Contemporary Spiritual Teacher. He is a pioneer in the personal development movement The author of nine self help books on human potential he offers seminar, workshops, retreats and phone based coaching. He is creating a series of ebooks entitled "Ask Lewis…" which will be available on line
Lewis offers phone-based and on-line life coaching services and created the course on Life Strategies www.How ToSolveAny Problem.com - a simple system for decision making based on Game Theory, the idea expanded on by John Nash, the Nobel prize winning subject of the biopick "A Beautiful Mind".
Seems pretty certain that Reality is not the way we have been taught.
That does now seem indisputable. I like that.
That there are people who fight any changes seems equally indisputable.
So I usually check things out for myself.
One thing I have been finding stronger lately is that,
on some level, we all seem to be in touch with each other.
Had this experience? Someone you know *pops into your mind*
and then you get a phone call or email from them? Coincidence?
I am finding it more than that.
And now some scientists are supporting that -
by introducing varying new theories.
One is that everything does emanate a frequency, and thus everything
is connected to everything else. (We are all one.)
One experience I have has to do with thinking of people.
Over time I have received many gifts from people. (Thank you.)
Whenever I use one of the items my mind goes to the person who gave it to
Every time! (Far too many to mention here - and I deeply thank you all.)
I often do not remember their name - although I can still see their face,
and feel love and gratefulness - every time!
(You would be surprised how many I recall. I am surprised as well!)
So I see that as we are all connected.
When we think of someone with love and gratefulness I feel there is a
blessing - to the receiver - and the sender.
Connected to this subject, I am now getting very strong experiences of
seeing, almost everything, and everyone, in vibrational frequencies - blending
The other day it was extra strong.
We were walking in a rainforest besides a tumbling creek (small river)
and everything turned into shimmering vibrations, and my legs went very
wobbly. I could hardly walk. When I looked at Sabine her face was solid and in
focus, and everything else just shimmered. I liked it.
Incidentally, the waterfall there is as dramatic as anything I have seen
anywhere in the world. One hundred metre waterfall coming over a sheer cliff face
into a deep rock pool surrounded by big rocks - some as big as a car.
The place is called: Protesters Falls - because, so the story goes,
when it was discovered that the huge old trees there were going to be
felled for timber, many people risked their lives to save the trees - by camping
up the huge trees - for months!
So let's presume we are all connected, and take a moment - this moment,
to tune in to each other.
Sending love
The day I heard this, I think, "This principle couldn't apply to me; the rare times that I complain are always for a good reason."
Then, I start experimenting. Every time I start to criticize something, I look to see if there is some gift that I'm not fully taking in. At first, I don't see much. Then, I dig a little deeper, and I find the treasure. It is true! I'm downplaying great things in my life! I catch myself and increase my capacity to receive.
Five years later, I have more love than I ever thought one person could receive. And, I still do my practice: using moments of criticizing as a flag to find more demonstrations of love to take in.
We all unconsciously limit how much love we receive. By simply using this practice, we uncover ways we turn down love and receive it instead.
What demonstration of love can you open to receive?

"It was so obvious these things were happening, but I couldn't see it because I was knee-deep in the problem."
The foreword for Van Cleave's book was written by Dr. Mark Griffiths, a professor at Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom, who studies behavioral addictions in the School of Social Sciences. He says Internet addiction has five key criteria:
1. Salience: The Internet becomes the most important activity in the person's life, affecting feelings, behaviors and thoughts.
2. Mood modification: The person receives an emotional "buzz" from using the Internet.
3. Tolerance: The person becomes acclimatized, requiring increasing amounts of Internet time to get that "buzz."
4. Withdrawal symptoms: Abruptly ceasing Internet activity can cause the personal emotional or physical distress.
5. Relapse: The addict tends to fall back into the same behavior very easily, even after years of abstinence or control.
"When you see that behavior," says another recovering addict, Kevin Roberts, "it's only the tip of the iceberg. You're often going to find underlying issues."
In Roberts' case, the underlying mental health issues turned out to be ADHD and anxiety, which both went undiagnosed until his Internet addiction spun out of control.
It was good friends who had been through AA, dealing with addiction themselves, who recognized Roberts' categorical consumption with gaming had reached addictive proportions.
Unlike van Cleave, Roberts went on binges.
"I would go through periods when I wouldn't indulge," he says. Other times, he would play real-time strategy games for weeks at a time, at least eight to 12 hours a day. These binges were usually set off by an emotional trigger. "I would often be sleep-deprived, sometimes going a whole day or two without sleeping."
Roberts likened himself to a functional drunk.
"I held a job and paid my bills," he says. "I wasn't real successful at relationships, because of 'the screen,' but I didn't know that at the time."
While he was able to keep it together for a while, thanks in part to his being self-employed, Roberts eventually began to lose clients.
"I even lost money after performing work for someone," he says, "because I was too busy gaming to send out an invoice."
He lost standing in his profession that he may never gain back.
"I eventually stopped gaming," Roberts says, "because the thrill became less and less, even as I played more and more."
He and Van Cleave are among the minority of Internet addicts, experts say, who have been able to break their bad habits without an extreme intervention.
Roberts wrote a book about his experience, "Cyber Junkie: Escaping the Gaming and Internet Trap." Perhaps more importantly, he joined a cyberaddiction support group. "We're always there for each other," he says. "It's our 'Vitamin C,' C being for community."
It's that sense of camaraderie that Young hopes to evoke from her patients at Bradford General. "There's a group dynamic in having them be in a class together," she says. "There's a support system that builds up."
It's worth noting that reSTART, the country's first retreat center program for Internet addiction, opened in 2009. A 45-day retreat to "disconnect and find yourself" at reSTART costs $22,000, after which patients have the option to extend their retreat for $421 a day, depending on their individual treatment needs.
Van Cleave underscores the importance of getting professional help and learning, quite simply, how to properly think and function again in daily life. "Alcoholics can stay out of bars and restaurants that serve booze, but an Internet addiction is like an eating disorder," he says.
"They have to relearn how to eat, what foods to avoid, what stores to avoid," says Laroche, employing the same metaphor.
But Frances is worried a treatment regimen that could and should be applied to tens of thousands of people will instead be applied to millions. "I'm concerned there's so much publicity about these four lousy beds," he says. "This is being commercialized prematurely."

They demanded veils for women, beards for men and a ban on music and television. They allowed boys' schools to operate but closed those for girls.
"We have sacrificed, both man and material and our valiant armed forces, innocent children, citizens, workers and leaders," Ashraf said Friday. "But now the nation is united and we have to unite and stand together to uproot this menace from our motherland and our children."
Speaking in Rawalpindi, Ashraf thanked political leaders and others who have stood up in support of Malala. "We would together like to give this message to fight against the mindset that attacked her," he said.
'Education is the best thing'
At Islamabad's Khaldunia High School, students hung banners and wrote letters demanding that the government do everything possible to save Malala.
Girls look up to Malala, said one female student whose identity CNN isn't revealing to protect her safety.
"I was really shocked because she was so ambitious ..." she said. "I pray for her health."
"To have the courage to actually go against all that," another girl said. "I think that was quite respectable."
A reporter asked if the attack has inspired them and if they planned to speak up even louder.
"I want these people who attacked her to learn that women are not all bad," one girl answered. "They are basically afraid of giving women equal rights because they're afraid of what women can do because they know they can do a lot.
"I want to speak up so they can learn some lessons from that message."
A boy student said he wanted to study more because of Malala. He won't take going to school for granted anymore, he said.
"What I learned from her is that education is the best thing, and if I get an education, I will be a better person," said another boy, 14.
A 'barbaric act'
President Asif Ali Zardari told Malala's father Friday that he was grieving and in shock over her shooting, and he condemned "the barbaric act of the militants," according to a release from Zardari's office.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Thursday called the attempted assassination of Malala "a wake-up call" for the nation.
Pakistani media reports suggested that the government is considering sending her overseas for treatment, but Bajwa, the military spokesman, said Friday that there is no plan yet to do that.
Media inside Pakistan continue to debate how to respond to Malala's shooting.
"Just as the Taliban scare us with terror, we must scare them by making them unable to operate," Madiha Afzal, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland who grew up in Pakistan, wrote in an opinion piece published in The Express Tribune.
"We must terrorize them by investing more than ever before in educating girls," she said.
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, now the U.N. special envoy for global education, has traveled to Pakistan and advocated for girls' education there. He said in an editorial published Friday that Zardari has invited him to return in November to lead a delegation of education leaders to come up with ways to improve opportunities for children.
"I have asked Pakistan's President Zardari to pledge that Malala's suffering will not be in vain," he wrote.

The ILAC SecretariatPO Box 7507SilverwaterNSW 2128, AustraliaT: +61 2 9736 8374F: +61 2 9736 8373Email: email@example.com
Back in 2002, WADA approached ILAC with the objective to use an existing pool of laboratory assessors from the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement signatory assessment bodies to develop an international team of assessors qualified to perform concurrent assessment against ISO/IEC 17025 and WADA's International Standard for Laboratories (ISL). As a result of the successful collaboration between ILAC and WADA, an established group of ISL assessors has been created that currently comprises 48 international assessors from 28 economies. This group underwent training by WADA with respect to the ISL and relevant Technical Documents. Since 2004, eight annual ISL training sessions for international assessors have been organized and financially supported by WADA. In addition, in 2011 WADA invited all European-based ISL-trained assessors to an advanced training session, which had a much broader agenda than usual and also included discussion topics such as the legal side of anti-doping activities and the concept of the Athlete's Biological Passport. Further, the members of the WADA-ILAC AIC Liaison Group were also invited to attend this training session as independent observers. The similar WADA training session for all other ISL-trained assessors is scheduled for 2012.
As an outcome of the ongoing collaboration between ILAC and WADA, two ILAC Communications were prepared and released (in August 2004 and November 2009) for the attention of accreditation bodies providing accreditation to WADA laboratories. These documents are aimed at clarifying the respective roles of both organizations in relation to the accreditation of anti-doping laboratories.
The WADA-ILAC AIC Liaison Group was established in October 2004. The Group meets on an annual basis to address issues of common interest relating to the assessment of the WADA-accredited laboratories as well as laboratories in the probationary phase of WADA accreditation.
At the third WADA World Conference on Doping in Sport (Madrid, November 2007), the ILAC-WADA relationship was formalized. This collaborative interaction was further strengthened at the ILAC General Assembly meeting (Shanghai, October 2010) through the re-confirmation and signing of the memorandum of understanding between the two organizations.
One important aspect of ILAC-WADA collaboration is to ensure that ISL and ISO/IEC 17025 rules are well coordinated and complementary. ILAC and WADA continue to collaborate to identify areas for improvement with respect to laboratory accreditation. This includes but is not limited to: harmonization of laboratory assessment(s): the conduct when feasible, of joint assessment(s) of anti-doping laboratories; and the exchange of relevant information by mutual participation in meetings and conferences organized by both organizations.
ILAC encourages the authorised reproduction of its publications, or parts thereof, by organisations wishing to use such material for areas related to education, standardisation, accreditation, good laboratory practice or other purposes relevant to ILAC's area of expertise or endeavour.
