I think there was a thread here about lasagna and dessert to go with. I fixed lasagna Tuesday night for company and it is a heavy meal -- for you always have to serve garlic bread with it -- so you have LOTS of pasta and LOTS of bread and a regular dessert -- pie or cake is often TOO much! I was in a dilemma as to what to serve without adding too many MORE carbs to the meal -- we were on carb overload as it was. I found a recipe in a favorite cookbook, Country Weekend Entertaining by Anna Pump for Baked Fall Fruit. Baked pears, apples and plums. I adapted because there was nary a plum in the market and substituted nectarines (similar skin I thought) and proceeded. She recommended serving it with rum raisin ice cream and we can get a Haagan Das version here so I thought perfect! It was simple, it was rustic and with the ice cream it was sooo good. Not polite, "this is nice", but "wow, is this ever good", "this is really really good" comments. Ms. Pump recommended serving it at room temperature -- I left it to "cool" in the oven while we had the main course so it was still warm but not HOT. If you're serving a lasagna (or a pasta heavy) meal to family or company and want dessert -- I recommend this -- it's easy and actually could be increased or decreased depending upon how many you're feeding. My only regret -- I forgot to take a picture! BAKED FALL FRUIT 4 apples, cored and cut into 8ths 3 pears, cored and cut into 6ths 6 plums, pitted and cut in half* 3/4 c. sugar zest of 1 orange Put all the fruit into a large baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and orange zest and mix. Bake at 400 for 1 hour. Cool to room temperature. Serve with a scoop of rum raisin ice cream. NOTE: I used 4 nectarines and cut them into 4ths (because they're bigger than plums) and I let mine cool in the oven so it was still warm -- just barely -- really a good temp -- and the ice cream slowly melted as we ate. Martha | |||
That sounds delicious. I like baked and grilled fruits. I would probably go with vanilla ice cream, though, as I don't like rum raisin. | ||||
We spent Christmas in Colorado with our kids. Each was asked to submit a brunch and dinner menu to me for our meals. At Thanksgiving DS1 looked through my new cookbook a friend had given me for my birthday "The Seasonal Baker" by John Barricelli and spotted pineapple with star anise I'd dog earred, "this looks good." It was fabulous, recommended to serve chilled over ice cream, but we first had it warm for brunch and then another day over ice cream as dessert after lasagne. I brought home and used the flavored juices to brine a ham for dinner and that was excellent, too. I put his book right next to Anita Pritchard's & Ina's on my favorites shelf alongside my Junior League collection.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Lurah, | ||||

A nurse who tried to help Michael Jackson find sleep with vitamin infusions said the singer became convinced that propofol was the only cure for his insomnia.
Cherilyn Lee -- who specializes in holistic health care -- was called as a witness by AEG Live in its defense of the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother and children. But Jackson lawyers said they believe her testimony helped their case.
When she was shown a photo of Jackson six days before his death -- two months after she had last treated him -- she appeared shocked at his deterioration.
"Oh, my goodness," Lee said. "That's horrible!"
Lee testified Thursday that after Jackson awoke after just four hours of sleep after one of her treatments on April 19, 2009, he became "very agitated."
"He stood up on the bed and he looked at me and at 4:30 in the morning, it kind of scared me," Lee said. "It really startled me when he stared at me with his big brown eyes."
"I told you I cannot sleep all night," Lee said Jackson told her.
Jackson allegedly asked Lee, who had been treating him with vitamins since early February, to find an anesthesiologist who could put him to sleep him with the surgical anesthetic propofol.
Lee refused, warning him it was unsafe. She testified that she told Jackson that any doctor who would give him propofol at home didn't care about him and was just doing it for the money.
That April 19, 2009, session was Lee's last time with Jackson.
Just over two weeks later -- on May 6 -- an AEG Live executive wrote in an e-mail that it was a "done deal" that Dr. Conrad Murray was being hired for $150,000 a month to serve as Jackson's full-time physician.
Murray told investigators that Jackson was infused with propofol every night for two months to treat his insomnia. The last treatment killed the singer, according to the coroner.
Jackson's mother and three children are suing AEG Live, contending the concert promoter is liable for his death because it negligently hired, retained or supervised Murray.
AEG Live lawyers contend it was Jackson who chose and controlled Murray and their executives had no way of knowing about the dangerous treatments being given in the privacy of Jackson's bedroom.
Lee's testimony concluded the 18th week of the wrongful death trial, which will continue into September.
She had glowing words for Jackson, who would have turned 55 on Thursday. "I haven't really met anyone who was so caring and so giving," she said.
"After his passing, a young lady walked up to me at an event and she just stared crying," Lee said. "She said, 'I wouldn't be here today if Michael hadn't come to the hospital and paid for my brain surgeries and he didn't want anyone to know.'"
Although called as a witness by AEG Live, Lee attacked their lawyers' contention that Jackson was "doctor shopping" for drugs. "All he was doing was looking for the best doctor to help with his insomnia," Lee said. "It just breaks my heart for people to label someone as doctor shopping when they're only trying to find the best doctor to give them the best care."
Jackson hired Lee to find natural treatments for his insomnia, she said. She began treating Jackson in his Los Angeles home on February 1, 2009, days after he signed a three-year contract with AEG Live for a world tour, which would start with 50 shows in London to debut in July.
"My concern was that he was drinking Red Bulls," she said. He drank several cans of the energy drink during their first meeting. "I was thinking his tiredness and fatigue was related to that."
"He told me whatever you tell me I need to do, I will do it." He stopped drinking cases of Red Bull, replacing the energy drinks with fresh organic juices, she said.
Jackson "started to feel really great" and "looked healthier" after a month of her IV treatments "Myers Cocktails," an infusion of Vitamin C and other nutrients, she testified.
But he still couldn't sleep more than five hours a night and with rehearsals for his "This Is It" tour cranking up in April "he needed something a little more," she testified.
Jackson rejected her recommendation that he have a sleep specialist visit his home to study his insomnia or that he cut down the lights and music in his bedroom, she said.
Earlier testimony suggested that Jackson had already given up on Lee's methods and decided that propofol, which German doctors had used to treat his insomnia during a 1997 tour, could be his answer for rest.

Is anyone else bothered by these types of "games"?
I love to pass time on the Name Game Forum. It's fun and stress-relieving...but I keep seeing these games where there is an elaborate story that you are meant to choose names for, but the stories involve infertility, miscarriage, death of a child, etc. I am so disturbed by this. Am I being overly sensitive? It's an issue I've struggled with personally so maybe I have a stronger reaction than most? I just find this terribly offensive. Do others?

I find some of them to be in poor taste, yes. I'm not bothered by them, probably because I don't see them since I rarely check that forum. I'd rather it be on the game forum than on the other forums presented as reality though. Why someone would want to pretend to suffer is beyond me. Life is hard enough, why pretend it's worse? Romanticizing tragedy must come from people who haven't faced the ugly side of life yet.

Any game involving adoption bothers me hugely. "You adopt 3-month old twin girls from Ethiopia!!" Um, if I'm adopting literally the most sought-after commodity in the adoption world from a program heavily plagued by corruption, then I'm pretty certain my hypothetical new daughters were the victims of human trafficking. I don't want to name them, I want to call my congressman and request an investigation.

This exactly.
The BNGs are played almost exclusively by the <18 set (maybe the <15 set). To them the stories simply sound dramatic and result in lots of babies to name, plus some big life roles to sort out (usually the protagonist manages to get married and land a hot career in the same story). Even though they frequently involve infant or perinatal death, homelessness, rape, abuse, abandonment, heartbreak, and other forms of human ugliness, the plucky heroine pulls through, which is all that matters when you're a sheltered adolescent with incompletely developed empathy.

Secondary infertility: Why does it happen?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/secondary-infertility/AN02135

Roger W. Harms, M.D.
"Nothing helps people stay healthy more than the power of real knowledge about health." — Dr. Roger Harms
As medical director of content, Dr. Roger Harms is excited about the potential for Mayo Clinic's health information site to help educate people about their health and provide them the tools and information to live healthier lives.
The Auburn, Neb., native has been with Mayo Clinic since 1981 and is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Harms is a practicing physician and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and his specialty areas include office gynecology, high-risk obstetrics and obstetrical ultrasound.
From 2002 to 2007, Dr. Harms was director for education at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Dr. Harms was the 1988 Mayo Medical School Teacher of the Year and served as associate dean for student affairs and academic affairs. He is the co-author of the "Mayo Clinic Model of Education." In 2008, Dr. Harms was presented the Distinguished Educator Award, Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
Dr. Harms is vice chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and medical editor of the Pregnancy section on this website. In addition, Dr. Harms is editor-in-chief of the "Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy" book, a month-by-month guide to everything a woman needs to know about having a baby.
"My medical education experience has grown out of a love of teaching, and that is what this site is about," Dr. Harms says. "If any visitor to this site makes a more informed and thus more comfortable decision about his or her health because of the information we provide, we are successful."

Secondary infertility: Why does it happen?
I'm having trouble conceiving another child. Why does secondary infertility happen?
from Roger W. Harms, M.D.
Secondary infertility — the inability to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year by a couple who previously had a child — shares many of the same causes of primary infertility.
For example, male infertility can be caused by impaired sperm production, function or delivery. Female infertility can be related to fallopian tube damage, ovulation disorders, endometriosis and uterine conditions. Sometimes, however, secondary infertility stems from complications related to prior pregnancies. Changes in your and your partner's risk factors, such as age, weight and use of certain medications, can also contribute to secondary infertility.
If you're experiencing secondary infertility, talk to your health care provider. Depending on the circumstances, both you and your partner might need medical evaluations. A woman's gynecologist or a man's urologist can help determine whether there's an issue that requires a specialist or treatment at a fertility clinic.
Secondary infertility can be surprising and stressful. Don't try to cope alone. Seek support from your partner, family and friends as you talk to your health care provider about the next steps.

Computer Crime Investigative Unit of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command has issued a Cyber Crime Alert Notice (2CAN) to inform Department of the Army personnel of third party mobile applications that reference the Department Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) myPay system for federal employees and members of the uniformed services, but are not sponsored by the Department of Defense or U.S. Government.
DFAS processes pay for all DoD military and civilian personnel, retirees and annuitants, and also supports other government agencies. Using non-sanctioned applications to access myPay accounts can potentially lead to the compromise of myPay account information and theft of funds.
The "myPay DFAS LES" was initially released in July as a free application on Google Play Android App Store. The app provides the user with the ability to control their military pay after the user enters their myPay login information to access their individual account. Google Play estimates that between 10,000 and 50,000 members have installed the myPay app.

NAME: Darren
LOCATION: Moncton, NB CANADA
INTERESTS: comics, movies, soccer, CFL football
BIO: Started off in my early years as an Avengers fan... back in the days of Thor, Vision, Cap, Yellowjacket, Beast, etc. Then one day in 1979, I saw a comic at the corner store called "X-Men", issue 120. It was called "Chaos in Canada". I opened it up and there on page 2 was a superhero wearing the Canadian flag... MY FLAG ! Read it over and over and over again until issue 121 came out the following month... and I was hooked. There in my hands were Canadian superheros, something I had never seen before. Went searching for (and found) a copy of X-men 109... and I have followed Alpha Flight and Wolverine ever since. I've even turned my two sons into comic fans (I hope they'll eventually forgive me for that). I've also stuck with Marvel through all of the $#!t they've done to my Flight. Hopefully this series will make them realize it is a team worth doing... and worth doing right.

Author: Tinsley Mortimer
Received: Amanda @ Simon and Schuster
Synopsis: A modern Manhattan fairy tale with the sparkle of a champagne cocktail, Tinsley Mortimer's debut novel provides a delicious peek into her world of society, fashion, and big-city fame.
SOUTHERN GIRL Minty Davenport has always dreamed of skyscrapers, yellow cabs, and a life like Eloise's in New York City. So upon graduation from college, she bids adieu to Charleston and makes a beeline for the Big Apple. Almost instantly, she finds herself at an event being photographed for Women's Wear Daily, and her career as a New York society "It Girl" is launched. As Minty navigates the ironclad customs of New York society, a blossoming love life, and a job working for a ruthless and powerful publicist, she finds that the rules a southern belle lives by—being nice to everyone, accentuating her femininity, and minding her manners—don't necessarily guarantee success in Manhattan. She may indeed be accumulating new friends and opportunities along with boldfaced mentions and a very eligible bachelor boyfriend, but someone is plotting her very public downfall. When Minty gets to the top of the social ladder, she must decide if the glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything she hoped it would be.
Tinsley Mortimer's insider observations about New York's elite are deliciously witty, and the heart of her book is that of an irresistibly lovable young woman who is on the brink of finding her dream.

Synopsis: Haven't we all experienced a moment when we've said something we wish we could take back? What if you were an eleven-year old girl and thought that moment caused the death of someone you cherished? Allison Ross, now a twenty-nine year old art gallery owner in Chelsea, was that young girl. The sudden death of her father in a suspicious car crash begins the unraveling of the tightly-wound world she has built around herself. This present day tragedy raises the unresolved issue of her Uncle Joey's untimely demise, for which she feels responsible. Adding to her turmoil, she is shocked to learn that she's been named interim CEO of her father's luxury jet company. Past and present blur as she fights to maintain control of a company she wants no involvement in while she struggles to keep her gallery afloat.
Allison's neighbor and good friend, Kenyon James, bakes butter-filled goodies culled from her Bubby's recipe files, and teases her that one day someone is going to come along who will be able to break through the armor she wears over her heart. Enter Alexander Coventry, a brilliant barracuda who is the prime candidate to take her father's place as CEO of RossAir Industries. Alex is the charmingly handsome son of a wealthy Atlanta family whose father taught him defeat is not an option. Allison and Alexander have two things in common—they both feel the need to prove to themselves to their fathers, and they're both incredibly stubborn. His motives toward her and the company get muddier by the day as these two opinionated forces dance around one another as they jockey for power, fall in love, and search for her father's killer. The story reaches its climax with a return to the cliffs of Frenchman's Bay in Bar Harbor, the scene of her early childhood trauma.

Title: The Rock Star in Seat 3A
Author: Jill Kargman
Received by: Unsolicited
Synopsis: It's Hazel's thirtieth birthday and she has everything she's ever wanted: a kickass job, a dream apartment in New York City, and the perfect boyfriend—who's just days away from proposing. Hazel thinks she's happy but isn't quite ready to settle down. So when her most far-fetched fantasy enters the realm of the possible, shouldn't she drop everything to see it through?
The morning after her birthday, Hazel boards a flight to L.A. only to get the surprise of her life. When she's bumped up to first class, extra legroom and free drinks are absolutely the last things on her mind when she catches sight of her seatmate: her all-time biggest celebrity crush, rock star Finn Schiller! Only the night before she'd confessed her infatuation with the gorgeous musician, and her boyfriend joked that she had a free pass if she ever met him. Hazel can't believe fate has actually thrown them together.
Even more unbelievable is that during the flight they genuinely connect. Finn likes her uncensored cursing and wicked sense of humor, and that she's unlike all of his groupies; Hazel likes his killer looks, ripped physique, and soulful music. But what started as a fantasy quickly becomes a real attraction, and after a dream date and taste of the rock-star life with Finn in L.A., Hazel is forced to examine the track her life is on. Indulging in a passionate affair with a rock star seems crazy—but could she ever forgive herself if she walked away from her wildest dream coming true? And is her wildest dream the stuff that happiness is made of?
A lively novel about a down-to-earth New York City girl who suddenly finds herself in a rock 'n' roll Cinderella fantasy, The Rock Star in Seat 3A is seasoned with Jill Kargman's signature wit and hilarious dialogue. This is a fairy-tale romance with a twist.
Title: South Hills Sidekicks: Uninvited
Author: Leah Spiegel & Megan Summers
Received By: Leah Spiegel
Synopsis: When Alley started her senior year at Upper St. Clair in the South Hills area, it was supposed to be the usual drag of hanging out with people who spent more on one outfit than Alley did on her entire wardrobe. That was until Kirsten, a girl in their clique, suddenly goes missing and the only people who seem to care are her friends. All evidence leads to the new comer Shane, a cocky and self-pretentious person in Alley's opinion, but the police seem uninterested so she and the rest of the girls start a little investigation of their own. But they are nowhere closer to finding Kirsten than when they started and now they had the police's attention; just not in the way they expected. The girls have to start over and discover that maybe it wasn't an outsider who took Kirsten, but someone within their own clique who has something to hide; a secret that just might have gotten Kirsten killed.

Watchful eyes of citizens
Mike Almond had four good reasons to join Superior's new Citizen Watch program, his daughters.By: Maria Lockwood, Superior Telegram
Mike Almond had four good reasons to join Superior's new Citizen Watch program, his daughters.
"For me, first and foremost, it's my kids," he said. "The more deterrent I have to keep drugs away from them, the better."
He learned about the program when he approached Nora Fie, children's librarian at the Superior Public Library, about setting up a safety awareness class for children. As they worked on the class, tentatively scheduled for April, Community Policing Officer Bonnie Beste asked Almond to think about joining the Citizen Watch.
"I'll do my share," said Almond, who lives on Oakes Avenue. "I'm just trying to do my part."
When Kathleen "Kitty" Otto learned the new Citizen Watch program was starting, she was quick to join along with her sisters Dawn Priem and Tammy O'Brien. All three women are former members of the Superior Police Auxiliary.
"The Neighborhood Watch is a good thing," said Otto, who lives on Weeks Avenue. "It does, it keeps the crime down."
Currently their group boasts nine members, the youngest of whom is 53.
"Everybody wanted to join, nobody wanted to be captain," Otto said, so she stepped up for the role. Their Citizen Watch members keep an eye out as they walk their dogs, drive through the area or look out the window.
"We can get to know our neighbors," Priem said. "Not only us watching out for them, but them watching out for us … people care." And they all want their neighborhood to be nice, Otto said.
A table in the lobby of Elmwood Apartments has become a desk station for members of the watch, with printouts of laws, identification tips and more available.
Almond takes walks through the neighborhood with his cockapoo, Teddy. His next door neighbor drives by area businesses late at night to check on them. Becoming part of the Citizen Watch has helped Almond put names to the faces of neighbors he used to just wave and say "Hi" to.
One challenge still lies ahead, and it will include coffee. Almond and Beste are planning a meet and greet with some of his neighbors, the residents of Golden Apartments.
"I'm African American; I'm a big guy," Almond said, and he wanted to let the older ladies at the apartments know that they shouldn't call the cops if they see him wandering through their parking lot in the early morning hours.
"I'm here to help," he said.
There are 33 active members of the Citizen Watch, according to Beste, covering all areas of Superior. And they are actively recruiting. As Almond and Otto put it: "The more, the merrier."
The groups are also seeking monetary donations to purchase neighborhood watch street signs, window clings, magnetic bumper stickers and vests. Those outward signs can pay big dividends. People don't break the law in front of a police officer because they see the cop car or uniform, Beste said.
"We know the police can't be everywhere," Priem said. But signs of an active Citizen Watch can also be a "huge deterrent" to crime, according to Beste. Their presence can protect both residents and businesses.
Members of Superior's Citizen Watch serve as extra eyes and ears for the police department. They keep an eye out for anything different, dangerous or out of the ordinary. If something doesn't look right, they call the police.
Almond acts as the leader and focal point for his group. Members call him with information and he passes it on to police. Otto said most members in her group tend to call the cops themselves.
Citizen Watch members don't have to take regular patrol shifts or commit to dozens of hours.
"From what Bonnie was explaining, hey, a walk around the block helps," Almond said. "Every little bit helps."
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Citizen Watch or donating funds for the program should call Beste at 715-395-7401 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's my fault for making it take so long. The last version was, like, 2 reviews away from getting in, but I spotted some errors in the bass chart and asked them to pull it and fix them. As far as I can tell, it won't be too long at all, assuming it gets the peer reviews (because as far as I can tell, it's all good and everything)
Hmm, I missed it I guess. Maybe it did pass. I got it pulled a few days ago, so it's possible that it got fixed and put back up and then passed by all the people without me even seeing it. Last i saw it, it said "review closed", but I assumed that was because it got pulled. We'll see, I guess.
Oh hey, yeah, according to the creators site, it got all six reviews in less than 24 hours which, to me, is astounding. Incredible, really. From the time that Jade came over to make a video and to when the video was done being filmed the next day, the song got put up and completely passed without me even noticing it (much less approving it, which I gladly would have)

"Zeno the Stoic's follower Iambulus (ca.250 BC) … described a Blessed Isle in the Indian Ocean (perhaps Ceylon): there, he reported, all men were equal, not only in rights but in ability and intelligence; all worked equally, and shared equally in the product; all took equal part, turn by turn, in administering the government; neither wealth nor poverty existed there, nor any war of the classes; nature produced fruit abundantly of her own accord, and men lived in harmony and universal love." Will Durant: The Story of Civilisation,
Vol.2, pp. 563-4
At this historic moment in Sri Lanka, it is relevant to remember that Sri Lanka has from ancient times been an outstanding centre from which messages of harmony, justice and sustainable development have radiated through and illuminated the entire region.References to this abound in world literature, of which the quotation cited is just one. Not without reason did Sri Lanka acquire the image of being a dhamma deepa – an island identified with the practice and teachings of peace.
We need now to reconnect ourselves with our rich and many-faceted inheritance of religious harmony, peace education, philosophy, art, architecture, sustainable development and international relations which were outstanding by any standards.
As we salute all those who have made this possible, from the President down to the humblest citizen, it becomes imperative for the focus of our national attention to shift towards the great task of winning the peace. The emphasis thus shifts towards the restoration of national unity and the establishment of a reign of justice for all. This task calls for a concentrated and determined effort, not merely by the government but by all sections of society.
Against this background we, in Sri Lanka, now have a unique opportunity to win this peace in a manner which will reverberate the world over as one of the outstanding instances in history of peace rising triumphant from the ashes of war. We have the necessary historical and cultural background to achieve this and we must rise to the occasion. At a time when the whole world is weary of war and tension, our example can revive hope in the future.
We must not lose sight of the fact that while rehabilitation in a material sense is of the utmost importance, the problems before us need to be addressed also from the psychological and educational point of view. Anger, prejudice, revenge, bitterness, hatred and ignorance need concerned attention, for shattered minds are as much a legacy of war as shattered homes.
The challenge of addressing these problems and achieving the victories of peace is now before us. What we need are the will and the determination to achieve this goal. This requires the generation of the necessary attitudes and the communication of the necessary information. The golden route to this result is peace education, for a generation has grown up which has known no environment but war, with all the insecurity, tension, distrust and misunderstanding which accompany it. The cast of mind induced by these factors will not disappear on its own. Its elimination needs active assistance.
This necessitates a demonstration of the ways in which this can be achieved and an indication of the glowing results which can emerge if our national energies are directed towards this end. If we sleep upon this task the sacrifices of the war would have been in vain.
Peace education is a neglected subject the world over and the world has paid dearly for this neglect. There is an ocean of peace-related knowledge lying untapped by educational systems and waiting to be used. We need to demonstrate to a waiting world that we have it in our national character to use this knowledge and emerge without bitterness from the emotional and physical debris of a thirty year war and become once more a nation that teaches and practises peace.
We live in the nuclear age in which we are all doomed to perish unless we make peace the order of the day in the next decade or two. The great religions of the world which are the universal heritage of all humanity can light the way to a bright new future for all. We, in Sri Lanka, are uniquely privileged in having four of the world's great religions existing side by side in our midst and enriching our mutual environment. We can use this cross-cultural inheritance to chart out a pathway of peace which can be an inspiration to all.
We are a country now called upon to provide this example, for our ancient traditions, our recent conflict and our national character all combine to provide us with one of history's greatest opportunities to show the world how a lasting peace can be snatched from the smouldering debris of war.
The reality to be faced is that there are legions of shattered families, avalanches of bitter memories, several millions who have known nothing but a world of war. Even if all these people can be rehabilitated in a material sense, the psychological trauma will remain. There cannot be a peaceful society so long as this emotional and psychological aspect remains unattended.
Peace education at all levels holds the key towards restoring these shattered minds and putting them on the road towards constructive participation in the process of rehabilitation and reconstruction of the national psyche. The subject if properly taught can transform the national scene, for ethical issues flood into every department of it and youth is an age of idealism which is greatly responsive to such concepts.
We must not permit the pressure of bread and butter subjects to crowd out from the curriculum the necessary teachings on peace, with all the strong idealisms they embody. Peace teaching can in fact help to mould a stronger and more caring national character for the Sri Lanka of the future.
Peace education draws its materials from every subject taught in school – history, geography, literature, drama, physics, chemistry, biology, sociology and whatever subject one may care to name. We need to generate the necessary skills for peace related aspects to be drawn into teaching in every subject and at every level.
One of the first peace lessons should be drawn from world history, which is full of examples from the earliest times to the present day of the sacrifices of hard-won wars being negatived by inattention to the demands of peace. For example, after World War I there were eloquent debates at Versailles when the smaller nations criticized the great powers for throwing away the opportunities of building a just world order by still pursuing their imperial interests and neglecting the cause for which so many millions sacrificed their lives.
There are important lessons in these historical examples and we must not neglect the task of ascertaining what the causes were of the conflict that has just ended. We must as one nation address those cause and eliminate them.
The range of topics to be covered in peace education is vast but some indication can be given of them to people at all levels from the schoolroom upwards, so that we can build up a culture of peace and togetherness rather than of war and separateness.Peace education consists of three main facets. These are the generation of :
- The necessary knowledge and awareness
- The necessary attitudes
- The necessary skills
These three areas have been much researched internationally and there is a vast amount of accumulated experience which can be used by our teaching profession.
In the area of knowledge, children must be taught how conflicts and problems arise, how they can be solved, what institutions and human rights principles can be invoked and what each individual can contribute. We must have knowledge of the successes and failures of the past, how obstacles to peace were overcome and how the seemingly impossible was achieved by great figures such as Wilberforce, Gandhi and Martin Luther King. All of this would be highly inspirational material.
"Zeno the Stoic's follower Iambulus (ca.250 BC) … described a Blessed Isle in the Indian Ocean (perhaps Ceylon): there, he reported, all men were equal, not only in rights but in ability and intelligence; all worked equally, and shared equally in the product; all took equal part, turn by turn, in administering the government; neither wealth nor poverty existed there, nor any war of the classes; nature produced fruit abundantly of her own accord, and men lived in harmony and universal love."
Will Durant: The Story of
Civilisation, Vol.2, pp. 563-4
In the field of attitudes, children should be imbued with a duty of care, a sense of responsibility, a resolve not to cause harm, an instinctive affirmation of human rights and a sense of respect for human dignity of every individual.
The necessary attitudes to be generated are concern for others, a desire to help and be of service, concepts of honesty, trustworthiness and fairness, tolerance, generosity and compassion and a respect for other cultures and religions. They should be asked to recall and appreciate 'the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love' which they have received from people of all communities at various times, thus imposing on themselves a duty to act similarly towards others.
In the field of skills, they should be trained to understand how problems and conflicts arise in their neighbourhood and to consider positive ways in which they could help to avoid them before they occur and resolve them when they have occurred.
They must also be shown ways in which they can transform anger into understanding, conflict into cooperation, social indifference into assistance to those in need and inactivity into active participation in whatever way one can. All these can be the subject of essays, discussions, debates and workshops in the classroom.
Children should be taught that the process of establishing peace is a process to which each individual can and indeed has a duty to contribute something every day.
An important route to all these ends is cross-cultural education, for it is imperative in this day and age for every child not to be boxed in within the culture to which he or she is born, but to have some awareness of other religions and cultures as well. While every child needs to be exposed in depth to his or her religion, this does not mean that they should grow up in total ignorance of all others. Consequently, it is imperative in every school that some perspectives be imparted of the teachings of the major religions. In Sri Lanka, this means Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.
Every one of them teaches peace, understanding, human dignity, peaceful settlement of disputes, protection of the environment, care for future generations and other basic principles essential to a sustainable peace. Many children under our educational system grow up with an implied understanding that other religions are different from one's own in their teachings on these aspects. The converse is the truth and each child's desire for peace and contribution towards it would be enormously increased by an awareness of the congruence of all religious teachings on these fundamental aspects so vital to the preservation of peace.
The Hague Appeal for Peace has worked out programmes for peace education at all levels ranging from the kindergarten to the highest school levels and has produced the documentation necessary for teachers. Likewise, UNESCO has produced a range of materials on this topic and all these need to be brought together for the benefit of the teaching profession in Sri Lanka. Much work has also been done on this by such institutions as the Peace Foundation of New Zealand.
There have also been great educational peace projects such as that conducted by the City Montessori School, Lucknow, the biggest secondary school in the world and one whose peace programmes have won for it the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education. This institution has produced practical studies showing how peace perspectives can be drawn into practically every subject taught in the curriculum.
All this knowledge and experience needs to be brought together and made available to the teaching profession in Sri Lanka. This points to the need for a training course to be established immediately for teachers in relation to peace studies, ranging from historical and philosophical perspectives to the lives of great historical, literary and spiritual personalities connected with peace. The subjects taught should also enter the area of practical activities such as studying the causes of conflict and devising ways of solving them.
There should also be some references to the history and current standing of international law and human rights, which are all too often an area totally unknown to the average citizen. It is for lack of this knowledge on the part of citizens that rulers are sometimes able to violate international law and human rights with impunity.
All of these resources need to be harnessed into one central repository of knowledge and teaching which needs to be established immediately. Indeed, this can prove the foundation eventually for a university of peace, which can collect and diffuse this knowledge, not only in Sri Lanka, but in the region and throughout the world. We have the capacity to give global leadership in this project and we can use this opportunity to initiate the moves necessary towards this end, which can establish Sri Lanka as an international centre of peace studies.
The establishment of a peace university in Sri Lanka can make this country a foremost resource for cross cultural and inter-religious perspectives and understanding, and the time is perhaps opportune for the establishment of such an institution.
Another aspect that needs to be cultivated is the generation of practical awareness of each other's conditions and life-styles and to this end, it is essential that all students in Sri Lanka be required as part of their education to live for even a month or two in different geographical, areas acquiring an understanding of how similar the problems, aspirations and attitudes of people are, whatever their cultural or geographical background. Putting students of all levels from school children to undergraduates, drawn from all parts of the country to live together for a few days has invariably resulted in seeing them emerge from such residential workshops with a resolve to be friends for life. This is the way in which we can make Sri Lanka one country with one people, sharing a set of common aspirations and values and taking a pride in their nation.
An important suggestion which may be implemented in Sri Lanka is to institute a week designated as 'Peace Week' during which various peace-related activities can be intensively conducted in every school. They include the production of a peace newsletter, the performance of peace related plays, class and inter-class debates on peace-related subjects, invitations to local members of parliament, lawyers, town councillors and others to speak on relevant topics, organizing peace concerts, contacting peace organizations overseas, watching peace related videos, holding a model UN General Assembly and having speech contests and peace essays.
There is a vast amount of material that can be gathered on these matters from bodies such as the Global Campaign for Peace Education, the Peace Foundation of New Zealand, the International Peace Bureau, UNESCO and other organisations.
Let us take some action now and not lose this opportunity for establishing beyond the shadow of a doubt that Sri Lanka intends to make this a lasting peace which will be an example and an inspiration for all.
This way we can once again attain an honoured place among the community of nations and be worthy successors of our past traditions which enabled us, in ancient times, to have ambassadors in the imperial courts of Rome and China.
"Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." So have the poets written and so have the thinkers philosophized from the beginnings of recorded history. This is a thought that must be uppermost in our minds in these critical days when war is ended and peace begins.
The writer is former Vice President of the International Court of Justice.

That's a big octopus. I had the good fortune to watch this guy emerge from its refuge and slink across the pool. As I was watching its tentacles disappear, I heard a thrashing from the next pool over. I hopped up to check it out and saw the octopus was killing a pretty sizable fish. I thought I was recording video of the whole things and felt pretty awesome about it, but then realized I had forgotten to hit record. Le sigh.
Like a lot of people (I think) I sort of gave up on coralline algae ages ago, but what are those disc-shaped things? Some kind of reproductive structure?
Whose plume? 'Twas the diameter of a 50 cent piece.
Diaulula and Diaulula, up in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-waitaminute, this is something else entirely.
Polyps aren't as orange as I've seen them in other individuals, so maybe I have this wrong.
Didn't see any bladders, but I probably would have looked harder if I recognized it.
Multiple stipes per holdfast, but blades are divided. Was going to call this Laminaria sinclairii, but the division is thowing me. Maybe there aren't multiple stipes per holdfast?
There were crazy numbers of nemerteans out hunting. Made me happy to be large.
The whole P. richii vs. P. gracilis thing is still confusing to me. Are those spines on the carapace or just bumps. Are the lateral carapace teeth projecting at a sharp angle? The claws are definitely blue-tinged gray with white tips, so I guess I'll go with P. gracilis.

"matose" Strikes Again: Corsair Dominator GT CMGTX6 @ 3GHz CAS8!
By Mike Clements posted Aug 12th 2010
In April of 2010, we posted here on the Corsair blog that Romanian overclocker "matose" aka Matei Mihatoiu had achieved a very special memory frequency using our Dominator® GT CMGGTX1 modules. See that blog post here: Romanian Overclocker "matose" Pushes Corsair Dominator® GT CMGTX1 DDR3 Memory Modules to Extreme Speeds.
We also predicted that matose and his cohorts at Lab501 would continue to strive for even higher memory frequencies and they did not disappoint! Recently they used our latest and greatest Dominator GT memory, the CMGTX6, and broke the 3GHz barrier in dual channel at the extraordinary low latencies of 8-11-8-31. And, as in the previous post, it was no suicide run and he was able to run the operating system and record the results pictured below.
According to our research of the available posted benchmark records, this is the highest dual channel frequency ever recorded at CAS8. This is an incredible accomplishment for matose and you can follow his continued exploits at the Xtreme Systems forums. We will certainly be following along and we applaud matose for his efforts and this achievement.
The Corsair Dominator GT CMGTX6 modules are specially screened, single sided memory tailored specifically for this type of overclocking. As you can see, matose has the skills and equipment to push it far beyond our specifications as he explores the extreme outer limits of his hardware. If he is able to continue to push the BClock on his CPU, there is no telling just how far he can go with the Dominator GT CMGTX6, and we can't wait to find out! Stay tuned...

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012
By Darci Jordan
Thanksgiving is almost here. It's time to count our blessings.
I've done some thinking and pondering on what I am thankful for this year.
My list includes: my children, family, friends, freedom, work, home and health, baby wipes, disinfecting wipes, fuzzy sweaters, high-octane coffee, dark chocolate, wine.
But there are other less obvious things, too.
Like, teachers with a sense of humor. Perhaps I have just misunderstood my son for the entire seven years of his life. I get calls and e-mails from his teachers, but (insofar) they have always started with, "I have to tell you what your son said today. He is so funny!" That gives me another perspective and for that I am thankful.
I am also thankful I have not forced my 3-year-old daughter to give up her pacifier yet. Now, don't get on your soapbox; she isn't taking her binky to preschool. The precious binky is only for nap time and bedtime. This gives me leverage. On the nights my sweet child doesn't want to stay in her bed, but she wants her binky, I am granted Pacifier Power (aka the "no bed, no binky" rule). For this I am thankful. But the future orthodontist bills I probably won't appreciate so much.
I'm grateful for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, too. It's no secret that I do not belong in a kitchen. I'm not nearly as creative (and probably twice as dangerous) as my should-have-been-a-chef husband. The kids will eat green beans when he cooks them, but not when I do. However, I can wrap anything in a crescent roll and make it taste yummy. For family dinners — even if the menu is pigs in a blanket — I am thankful.
I am grateful my daughter enjoys bath time. She will stay in the tub, splashing in the water until she looks like a raisin. Time-to-raisin is long enough for me to sit down (an added bonus albeit it's on top of the commode) and fold a basket full of laundry. It probably won't get put away, but it at least looks presentable.
And Legos; I am thankful for Legos, those pricey little blocks that click together to make anything you can imagine. While my sons do have video game consoles, the Legos still get more play-time. When the boys are playing with Legos, they are using their imaginations and they are not fighting. It's amazing. I used to get suspicious when things got "too quiet" in our house. Not anymore. Who knew a storage tub full of little bricks would bring our boys together and provide some quiet time?
I mean after all, without quiet time, I'd have never learned to appreciate chocolate and wine.
Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving.

There's a new knitwear label in town called Orley that's as exciting and fresh-looking as any we've seen in some time. The label is led by the brothers Matthew and Alex Orley and their longtime friend (and Matthew's girlfriend) Samantha Florence, and their debut collection, available next fall, features seven sweater styles and a couple of scarves and hats in extremely optimistic colors and "prints." (Technically, they're double-faced wool and cashmere-blend jacquards on polos, cardigans, hoodies and crew-necks.) The brothers, both of whom have design experience — Matthew worked at Thom Browne; Alex at Rag & Bone, first in knits, then in denim — call music their main muse. "There is no 'theme' to the collection, but we were listening to a lot of early psychedelic music — the Velvet Underground and the Zombies, which I think comes through," says Alex. That said, 20th-century art and Algonquin Provincial Park, a vast Canadian nature preserve where the three designers spent their summers, also played a part in Orley's optical-organic aesthetic. With more than a trick or two up their twisted cable and contrast-cuffed sleeves, the Orleys and Florence hope to fill a gap in the market for fashion-driven men's sweaters that are at once directional and high-end (prices range from $425 to $865). "There was just a point where we thought: we're young, we know what we want to do, why wait?" Florence says. Sadly, shoppers must do just that until August, when the collection becomes available at Fivestory in New York and at Union in Los Angeles. Worth it? No doubt.
Orley will be available at Fivestory in New York and at Union in Los Angeles in August 2012.

Vegetative State l Coma
If you have questions about vegetative state or coma, attorneys Chris Mellino and Tom Robenalt invite you to contact our Cleveland office for a free consultation. You may also download or request Chris' free, easy-to-read guide to filing a claim in Ohio.
Medical Mistakes that Cause Coma or Vegetative State
One of the most devastating cases an Ohio medical malpractice attorney can take on is one in which a medical error caused a patient to slip into a coma or permanent or persistent vegetative state. This condition can be the result of various negligent actions on behalf of a medical staff, including improper intubation, an anesthesia mistake, and failure to monitor a patient's vital signs during surgery. Coma cases can force families to make sudden and extremely difficult decisions on behalf of their loved one.
For nearly thirty years, Ohio brain injury lawyer Christopher Mellino has devoted his practice to helping patients obtain expert care, specialized rehabilitation, and lifelong disease management, all of which can be extremely expensive for families to cover. Therefore, Chris stops at nothing to obtain the monetary benefits that will ensure a patient's chances of recovery.
The brain injury lawyers at Mellino Robenalt can serve as an advocate for patients who suffer severe brain injuries during surgery such as an anoxic brain injury, which occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen (please note that the brain's cells begin to die after only four seconds of oxygen deprivation).
Families who suspect that a doctor, hospital, or other medical professional caused their loved one's brain injury and resulting persistent vegetative state are urged to seek legal advice and exercise their right to seek financial assistance for the lifelong medical care they are going to need in the early months of their recovery and well into the future.
It is important to understand that a coma or permanent vegetative state caused by medical negligence is not a common event. The range and value of damages in such malpractice cases are very high, and therefore, highly contested. Ohio medical malpractice attorney, Chris Mellino, can present a compelling case to insurance company, and the court, if necessary.
What should I do if my insurance company contacts me about my brain injury?
Five Medical Events that Can Cause Permanent Vegetative State
Brain damage can occur for a number of reasons, and a coma or persistent vegetative state may be the outcome for some medical patients who suffer undue injury during surgery. The main causes of brain injury during surgery are:
- Vascular pressure that causes intracranial hemorrhaging (bleeding or clots) or stroke. A medical patient can suffer a stroke when blood pressure is not monitored and managed during surgery. A stroke can also occur when a patient is not properly treated for a blood clot in the brain.
- Dangerously low blood pressure. Another case in which mismanagement of a patient under anesthesia may result in a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This may also occur due to severe blood loss from a surgical procedure.
- Hypoxic ischemic injury — brain injury as a result of oxygen deprivation. This type of brain trauma may occur during surgery, such as if an anesthesiologist fails to respond promptly to a cardiac arrest during the procedure.
- Lack of oxygen supply to the brain for an extended period, such as during a cardio-respiratory arrest. A patient may have a case of medical malpractice if his or her brain did not receive enough oxygen because a medical professional failed to diagnose or respond promptly to a cardiac episode, i.e., heart attack.
- Seizures from epilepsy. A patient with a history of epilepsy is often at higher risk for a seizure during surgery and failure to administer treatment in a timely manner can result in a coma. Should a patient have suffered a seizure during surgery, they must be carefully monitored during the postictal stage — the altered state of consciousness a person enters after a seizure and before returning to a normal state of consciousness — of recovery. Any abnormalities in the patient's vision, behavior, sodium levels, magnesium, or calcium have to be addressed immediately to avoid risk of coma.
- Infections. Failure to address any signs of central nervous system infection, such as meningitis or encephalitis, before surgery may progress not only to severe infection, but may also result in a comatose or vegetative state.
As indicated in the list above, anesthesia errors aren't the only cause of brain injuries and vegetative state comas; these conditions can result from a missed diagnosis or failure to respond/treat a cardiac episode. Any form of medical negligence that causes a patient to fall into a coma or vegetative state may be grounds for a medical malpractice claim – and Christopher Mellino, Ohio medical malpractice attorney, can help you pursue such a claim.
When a Loved One is in a Persistent Vegetative State Coma Due to Malpractice
There are three stages of health a medical patient can be in when he or she has suffered serious brain damage from medical malpractice: coma, persistent vegetative state, and permanent vegetative state. The state of responsiveness may be a deciding factor in whether a family will need an Ohio brain injury lawyer or a wrongful death attorney in Ohio.
An individual may fall into a coma as the result of a non-traumatic brain injury. In cases of medical malpractice, this would be instances where the brain was deprived of oxygen or the patient's blood pressure was not properly regulated. A coma is caused by damage to the reticular activating system (RAS) — the part of the brain that controls sleep and wakefulness and making transitions between the two states. When in a coma, the patient will experience a loss of consciousness and inability to respond to stimuli.
A coma can last for weeks and will result either in awakening and recovery, death, or progression into a persistent vegetative state. When a patient does recover from a coma, they will typically need long-term care to restore muscle function due to weeks of immobility. Cognitive and speech therapy may be necessary to regain diminished brain function, and there may be permanent brain damage due to the trauma.
A persistent vegetative state is when the patient is no longer considered to be in a coma, but is still unresponsive. While the individual may appear to be awake, he or she can no longer think, reason, communicate, and perform other basic cognitive functions. At this point, the higher levels of the brain – the precuneus and adjacent posterior cingulate cortex — are no longer functional. This leaves the patient unable to move, communicate or care for themselves, relying on caregivers for all of their daily needs such as feeding and going to the bathroom.
Patients in a persistent vegetative state may appear to respond to stimuli and sometimes exhibit reactions such as smiling, coughing, or slight movements of the legs and arms. These reactions can often be mistaken as recovery, but in a true case of persistent vegetative state, they may be automatic behaviors that the thinking part of the brain did not process.
When the persistent vegetative state continues for several months, the patient's diagnosis may be reclassified as being in a permanent vegetative state. This means the individual has been in a persistent vegetative state for more than six months as the result of non-traumatic brain damage such as oxygen depravation during surgery or 12 months as the result of traumatic brain damage such as a head injury from a car accident.
An Ohio brain injury lawyer may tell you that time is an important factor in determining the type of case you have and the current and future considerations if you pursue a medical malpractice case.
How to File a Vegetative State Claim
Diagnosing a comatose state and determining the long-term prognosis of the patient is a critical step in pursuing a medical malpractice claim. An Ohio brain injury lawyer can help the family assess what medical evidence is needed to prove the cause and effect of the damage, and determine their next steps when filing a medical malpractice claim.
When medical negligence is confirmed, Ohio medical malpractice attorney, Chris Mellino will get to the real purpose of the lawsuit – seeking justice for the patient. Depending on the state of the patient and the prognosis for recovery, a family may seek a claim for compensation for long-term damages and suffering or a wrongful death claim.
When it is determined that a loved one has no chance of recovery from the permanent vegetative state, a wrongful death attorney in our Ohio office can help. In this case, hospice may be the next step, which will inflict additional financial and emotional distress upon a family.
These damages, both monetary and emotional, are the main reason families seek to file medical malpractice or wrongful death claims. The second purpose is to assess punitive damages and actions against the negligent medical professional who caused the coma or vegetative state. A typical medical malpractice settlement compensates the victim for financial losses, emotional trauma and assesses the potential for punitive damages against the liable parties.
When you believe medical negligence caused your loved one to fall into a comatose or vegetative state, your first step should be to contact an Ohio medical malpractice attorney. From there, you can work with expert witnesses who can provide testimony for the case.
An Ohio medical malpractice attorney or wrongful death attorney in Ohio at Mellino Robenalt LLC will work diligently to help you pursue the compensation necessary to address your family's needs and rights adequately. Contact our offices through email or call us today at (440) 333-3800 to schedule a confidential consultation with an Ohio medical malpractice attorney.

Mental telepathy you're gonna tell -- diet and exercise but for those of us who want an easier way could these work.
I would tell everybody -- their diet and exercise do it and lifestyle change.
Bottom also gonna tell you that for people that come to me -- high blood pressure and diabetes risk of stroke.
Heart disease a lot of the reason is often that -- there's obesity one out of three adults in the United States already obese we've got to do something.
I'm already prescribing the drug phentermine which is part of -- ceemea.
That's one half of the drug and I use that a lot I use that -- people that can exercise or that have tried exercise that's half of -- -- that was ever fen -- but that's the half of fen Phen that was not.
The part that got it in the drug in trouble okay so I'm very comfortable with the -- in part my problem with this although I'm very glad the FDA approved this because.
It has been shown to be quite effective for weight loss.
And it should be an arrow in our quiver but I have a general problem with combo drugs because -- I can't always tell if there is a problem.
Which of the two is causing in the thing that the FDA is keeping a very close eye on is the other drug in this hope you're -- -- -- pyramid is the other part of this commonly noticed over -- That -- -- -- for migraines it's used for headaches we noticed that helps with weight loss but he can make you think a little more slowly it can make you fatigue.
And it may be can cause birth defects so we don't want pregnant women to be taking this it's a cautionary flag but I'm glad the arrow is there in the quiver.
-- -- -- Love this story behind this is that they came in the market would be applied to afternoon 2010.
It got rejected because of the side effects as -- they went back to the more than they decided what how we going to get this back in the system.
Now this you have to look at the balance between the risk of obesity and what he does to cardiovascular blood pressure and cholesterol.
And the risk of these medications which is kidney stone could be.
-- -- face could be memory loss.
Cardiovascular issues so FDA looked at both risk and decided that the risk of obesity outweighs the risk of his medications.
-- now it's coming into the market.
Now there's a guideline for this you can just go to the pharmacy and -- I need this medication.
You have to be really obese body -- over thirty.
Or if you're overweight and has one of these cholesterol blood pressure diabetes then -- a candidate.
