Happiness in a Storm
"An approach to illness that promotes physical healing and joyful living."
Jane Brody reviews Happiness in a Storm in the Personal Health Column of the New York Times (9/6/2005):
Wendy S. Harpham, M.D. offers practical philosophy and science-based knowledge to help you get good care and find happiness when dealing with a medical challenge.
Having coined the term "Healthy Survivor" while dealing with her own chronic lymphoma, Harpham encourages people dealing with cancer, heart disease, diabetes or any prolonged illness to simultaneously do all one can to overcome disease and live life to the fullest.
Happiness in a Storm shows you how to set the stage for the miracle of physical healing by making the best treatment choices for you, nourishing realistic hope and taking effective action.
But when it comes right down to it, what good is surviving if you are never happy? Harpham opens your eyes to the opportunities for happiness in life despite medical problems and even because of illness. You'll see how becoming a Healthy Survivor increases your chance of a good outcome and frees you to pursue happiness.
See the publisher's page for Happiness in a Storm
Table of Contents
Praise for Happiness in a Storm
"If you have been trapped by serious illness, this book will free you to live every day of your life with power, wisdom, passion, and joy. Happiness in a Storm is more than a book, it is a blessing."
Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
"Dr. Wendy Harpham is a pioneer in the art and science of being alive. With huge heart, scalpel-sharp wit, hard-won wisdom, and uncompromising clarity, Happiness in a Storm transcends the usual chicken soup, steering the course toward a stronger, more joyful life."
Joni Rodgers, author of Bald in the Land of Big Hair
"Benefiting from both a physician and a survivor's perspective, this book provides an inspiring message of achieving happiness despite illness and outlines the critical factors of healthy survivorship ranging from making wise treatment choices to creating and maintaining a healing environment through diet, exercise, and a positive attitude during and post-treatment."
Doug Ulman, director of survivorship Lance Armstrong Foundation
"Like no one else has done, Wendy Harpham gets inside the head of someone seriously ill, shines a bright light into all the nooks and crannies where the darkest thoughts hide, and precisely points the way to a "new Normal." Through the combination of scientific evidence-based information and practical philosophy, she proves that at our core we can be happy no matter how bad the storm outside."
Emily Senay, MD, CBS News medical correspondent
"Consoling, personal, humorous, hopeful, Happiness in a Storm is a lifeboat for cancer survivors. Dr. Harpham's book is all about saving the quality of lives for patients and families facing any illness or injury."
Kathleen M. Foley, MD, neurologist, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and former chief of the Pain and Palliative Care Service
From Publishers Weekly:
In her latest book, she shares here the guidelines she has developed for becoming a healthy survivor: a patient who gets good care and lives as fully as possible. Harpham (After Cancer: A Guide to Your New Life) is no Pollyanna and fully acknowledges the devastating physical and emotional toll diagnosis and treatment take.....Rather than a rigid program, this is a sensible and realistic compendium of techniques that will help survivors cope with serious illness while embracing times of happiness.

From Library Journal:
Doctor, cancer survivor, tireless lecturer, and award-winning author, Harpham has what it takes to teach those who are ill how to find happiness. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information
From Health News Digest:
Millions of people today are surviving once-fatal injuries and illnesses, thanks to modern medical miracles. This survival often comes at the price of significant hardships. Harpham encourages every patient to become a Healthy Survivor, even if cure or recovery is unlikely. Her purpose goes beyond facilitating cures and bringing comfort: She believes that Healthy Survivorship frees patients to pursue happiness. HAPPINESS IN A STORM opens your eyes to opportunities for joy despite illness and, in certain cases, because of illness. For people in hard times, joy and humor are as elemental as blood and breath, and just as crucial to a full life.

We needn't even consider that fact that early release program was not Brown's idea but was imposed on the state by court order. All these right wing posters know that, but they never let the facts get in the way.
Oh well. As recent elections show, most Californians are not a stupid and easily manipulated as the radical right would like. That's why you can bet the radical right will continue to attack education as the most important platform of their campaign.

Twelve years have now passed since a 22-year-old woman was found murdered in western Wisconsin.
On Jan. 6, 2001, the Eau Claire County Sheriff's Department found Angelina Wall strangled to death along County Highway J near Fall Creek. Wall's mother says she fears her daughter's killer may still be out there.
During an interview with WEAU-TV, Lori Bednarcyzk said she believed the case would have been solved quickly, but now the case has run cold. "Let me have some closure. I'm getting up there in age, this mom sure would like to have some closure before I die," Bednarcyzk said.
Investigators believe something happened to Wall when she was walking from her job at McDonald's on Hastings Way in Eau Claire to her home off Birch Street.
There is a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the Angelina Wall murder case. Tips regarding this case can be forwarded to the Eau Claire County Sheriff's Department at 715-839-4709

text: Border Patrols: The Legal, Racial, Social, and Economic Implications of United States Immigration PolicyHostJournal of Civil Rights and Economic DevelopmentThe Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development Co-SponsorsSt. John's School of Law Education Law SocietySt. John's University Committee for Latin American and Caribbean StudiesDate Friday, March 16, 2012LocationSt. John's School of Law | Queens, NYAbout the Symposium The Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development is the official publication of the Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development at St. John's School of Law, the law school's oldest academic center. For 17 years, the Journal has held important academic symposia on a wide array of legally significant social justice issues such as environmental racism, domestic violence, and perspectives on same-sex marriage. On March 16, 2012, the Journal will hold a symposium on immigration. Given its focus on legal issues of racial, social and economic justice and its location in one of the most diverse counties in the United States, the Journal is well positioned to present both sides of the immigration discussion and to have a full academic inquiry into the subject's legal, social, political and economic dimensions. While there has been no significant movement toward federal immigration reform since a bipartisan effort died in 2007, immigration has been the subject of a wave of legislation at the state level, most notably with the passage of an Arizona statute that is among the nation's strictest immigration laws. Opponents of immigration reform are concerned about job competition, wage pressures, and the perceived social costs of unauthorized immigrants, and there is also disagreement as to how to resolve the controversial issues of border security and the path to legalization. Proponents of immigration reform argue that the growth and prosperity of the United States is dependent on immigrants replenishing our workforce, creating new job opportunities, and contributing income, Social Security, Medicare, and sales taxes.Invitation to Participate The Journal invites individuals to a multi-disciplinary exploration of these issues that is thoughtful, intellectually rigorous and provocative. We seek a broad range of participants, including scholars, practitioners, elected officials, immigrants, activists, community leaders and students. Paper or panel topics should address the following topics of academic inquiry:The Landscape of U.S. Immigration: What explains the great wave of immigration to the United States in recent decades? From what countries do people emigrate and what are the laws and processes governing their entry and status? How has immigration changed the demographics of the U.S.? How have the media, politicians and political activists portrayed immigrants, immigration reform and border security? Politics and Immigration Reform: How have the Bush and Obama administrations differed with respect to immigration reform, law enforcement and border security? How well do existing proposals balance the competing interests on both sides of the immigration debate? Is bipartisan immigration reform possible? What are the human rights and international implications of U.S. immigration reform?The Role of State and Local Government in Immigration Reform and Enforcement: Do tough new immigration laws in states such as Arizona, Georgia and Alabama violate the federal Supremacy Clause? Do these measures violate the Constitution, including the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause or the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures? How effective are these initiatives at curbing unauthorized immigration? What role, if any, should state and local governments play in immigration reform? Immigration and the Economy: What is the economic impact of unauthorized immigration? Do immigrants depress wages or cause unemployment? What effects do unauthorized immigrants have on the economic status of lower, middle and upper class Americans? What would stricter enforcement of immigration laws cost taxpayers? Should businesses be held accountable for verifying worker status, and if so, how? Immigration and Individual Rights: In the wake of the 30th anniversary of Phyler v. Doe, what is the state of immigrant students' rights? Should unauthorized immigrants be given in-state tuition to public universities and community colleges? Should unauthorized immigrant students be allowed to earn legal status through education or military service? Should jurisdictions consider granting immigrant voting rights? What impact will the current debate on immigration and the changing demographics of the United States have on birthright citizenship? Other Areas of Inquiry: The complexity of the immigration debate makes it impossible to capture the many issues and areas that it implicates. Accordingly, the organizers welcome proposals that do not fall within the specific topics outlined above, but still fall within the general description of the symposium.Submission Guidelines If you would like to participate in the symposium as a panelist or speaker, please submit an abstract of 250 words or less through our online abstract submission form or by email to email@example.com. The abstract submission deadline is December 15, 2011. We will notify all selected panelists and speakers by January 9, 2012. After the symposium, participants will have an opportunity to submit an article to be considered for publication in the Journal of Civil Rights of Economic Development.More Information For more information on the symposium or this call for participation, please contact Aaron Barham, Research and Symposium Editor for the Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (718) 990-6074.

Thoughts for Thrifting
By Cindy Hamlin, Special to the Citizen 10/27/11
• Don't be afraid of the seedy! Most of the best thrift stores are in the less than ideal parts of town. Thrift stores are dirty and you will have to dig, but isn't a bargain worth digging for? • Make nice with the owner/manager! Tell them what you are looking for and they may know where it is or will keep an eye out for you. • Thrift stores need bags for the customer's purchases. Your home is likely filled with them, both paper and plastic, so make nice and curry some favor! • If there is a quantity of an item, but they are priced individually, ask if they can give you a price if you take all of them. Be prepared to take them (or not) depending on the price. If you ask for a better price on an item (not all do this) be prepared to pay it. The owners get really peeved if you ask continually and never buy it. • Most thrift stores have a discount schedule (colored dots/tags, sections that are over stocked with items, etc). This is usually posted or announced when you arrive, so look for it or ask. It may make the difference in buying it or leaving it there. • Think of other uses for your purchases. The shirt with a spot can be fabric for a bag; a wool sweater can be felted. A shirt missing buttons can have a new funkier set. A single earring can become a pendant on a necklace or the center for a brooch. No item is a lost cause unless it is disgusting! • Craig's List is a good place to check for shops. They usually post it in the yard/garage sale section. • Stop in often! They get new merchandise EVERY DAY and ALL DAY! It is not the same store 20 minutes after you leave. • Google search "thrift shops" and "your town". You may find ones that you never knew of. Ask a fellow thrift shopper if they found any new or cool shops. • If your gut tells you that the item is worth something, LISTEN! As you develop and fine tune your thrifting skills it gets better. You can also go home and research it. I buy items at the Goodwill and then take home and research it. They have a return policy for store credit only, so I am not at a loss if I take it back. • Tell your thrifting buddies what you are looking for. They can help you look for that illusive item. Good luck and happy hunting! Cindy Hamlin is a lover of thrift shops and a maker of things. She shares her exploits on her blog, Cindy is Crafty (cindyiscrafty.wordpress.com) and she makes and sells jewelry designs at shops in the Metro Richmond region and her thrift finds on eBay. |

Dean Delray: There is a lot of history in the canyons nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains that segregate Los Angeles. Racing through them like Uma Thurman in Tokyo in Kill Bill, is DEAN DELRAY on a blood-red Ducati. Bay-area bread Delray is a rare animal in Hollywood. His drive rivals that of his Ducati's. 500 comedy shows in just over a year, two decades of high-end music business experience under his belt where he was signed by 4 Non-Blondes' Linda Perry and went on international tours with The Wallflowers and opened up shows for Tom Petty Lenny Kravitz Black Crowes and many more as well as DJ and hosting gigs for The Rolling Stones. Delray was also in Quentin Tarantino's Hell Ride, where he not only acted but laid a track down for the original soundtrack. He has also been featured in Ice Cube's The Longshots and has Noise Matters in 2011. Back to comedy though. Delray performs everywhere. From Hollywood to the beach, back to the eastside and then The Valley. He's relevant in the LA comedy scene because he's not trying to take shortcuts. Consistency goes a long way. Rubbing shoulders with sitcom star veterans and Century City assistants at The Improv or squeezing between Bentleys and taco trucks on The Sunset Strip outside of The Comedy Store, Delray is always out. Even when the clubs are closed and you think that there's no possible way you'll see this guy for at least another twenty four hours, there he is at the 101 Cafe on Franklin Avenue just under the Hollywood Freeway bridging the gap between LA and The Valley. A couple thousand people are stuck in 2am traffic leaving night clubs and night jobs and Delray is eating diner food with his peers, fellow comics, moving up in the world. How do you move up in the world when you already live at the top? You go side to side. Medium to medium. Music? Been there done that, two decades, whatever. Movies? Did a Tarantino film. Ice Cube movie. Next. Comedy? Improv, Comedy Store, and every show in between; standing in the back, waiting for his spot while network television executives and cowboy talent agents scope the room. Spots all over town. Fresh Faces competition at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood? Won it. At this point, Delray has found his calling. Stand Up Comedy. In it for life. It took him a tour de force through the entertainment industry to get here for you, Go see him live on stage 7 nights a week.

Fantastic acting, but ultimately a mess
By a customer from Plumstead, London , 17 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
I'll watch anything with Ed Norton in it, and once again he doesn't disappoint. He's utterly brilliant as the bitter son of a fireman murdered in the course of duty - by a black man.
This movie is wonderful to look at: hardly surprising, considering it was directed by Tony 'Guiness adverts' Kaye.
Of course, the problems with the movie caused international headlines, when Ed Norton took away final cut from Mr Kaye.
First time I watched this, the acting and the look blew me away. But on second viewing you realise it's intellectually threadbare. The third act, where Norton is saved from a future as a white supremacist by a wise, funny and hideously cliched black saint is laughable.
Why is it so laughable? Well, the Norton character is an *intellectual* Nazi. He's not a thug, he's a political philosopher, and a very articulate one at that. For my money, the only thing that could change his mind would be intellectual argument and hard evidence. Instead, he becomes a born-again liberal just because someone from a different ethnic group is kind to him. Sorry, but in the context of the first two acts, that doesn't hold water.
Still, it's definitely worth watching, for the acting alone; and it's a good movie in that it provokes debate afterward. Provided you watch it with friends, of course...- Was this review helpful to you?

(346)Watch this movie at least once in your life.
By SeaDogMariner (4 reviews) , 30 Nov 2013This is one of those movies that comes a long every once in a while that just is in a different class to 99. 9%of the nonsense that comes out of the film industry. It's extremely well written, thought provoking throughout, and well acted. If you sit down with an open mind and really buy into the storyline, maybeafter two or three viewings even, you get more of the point being made and its not just the obvious when you see the trailer of Edward Norton with a Swastika on his chest. Nobody comes out of this as the good guy. This movie should be watched by all at least once, And I would seriously question those that do not give this a high rating. I first saw this when it came out over 10 years ago, and again today. It's as good as ever.- Was this review helpful to you?

Engaging storytelling in an exploration of racial tensions in modern America

You MUST watch this film
By a customer , 23 Mar 2013This film is by far one of my most favourite, I have watched it countless times and will undoubtedly watch it many more. The film is gripping from beginning to end. Agreed that some scenes are not pleasant, but the content of these scenes is true to the story and therefore necessary to the entire feel of the film. Edward Norton is amazing, but he has set the bar high for himself and I often feel disappointed by his performance in other films as a result.- Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant acting and narrative
By AlexCook130 (5 reviews) , 10 Mar 2013I really enjoyed this film. I'm not usually a Norton fan. I really disliked Fight Club but I was open to see Norton in a different role. And WOW! I'm not saying he carries this film, Furlong does do a lot. But Norton is brilliant in it. He's charismatic enough to even inspire the audience into joining him. Also, Norton isn't playing just one role. He basically plays two different people and does it brilliantly. Although you may not be into these sort of films, everyone should have this in their DVD collection. Yes at times it is hard to watch, for example the famous curb stomp scene, but that's the ride that cinema can take you on. Overall, this was a brilliant film. I didn't think it would impress me as I was such a non-believer in Norton, but this film made me rethink. NORTON IS A BADASS.- Was this review helpful to you?

The only good thing was Norton's acting.
By GeorgiaH (2 reviews) , 13 Feb 2013I rented this film because my boyfriend said it was a really good story. It wasn't. The storyline it's self seemed like it would be good in theory but was messy & badly executed. The racism didn't bother me in a beginning because it was the characters that were racist & not the film, however it didn't take long until most of what was said or what was happening was just not necessary. We got that it was gritty & the characters were theses horrible ignorant people without a lot of things that happened. It was as if they were deliberately trying to make the viewer as uncomfortable & offended as possible. I know a lot of people will disagree & argue that it is all vital to building the characters & what not but honestly I just turned it off. Don't get me wrong, Edward Norton was fantastic, as were most of the other actors but the story was pointlessly offensive & dragged out to the point where it was dull. I'm not particularly surprised the director disowned it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Image quality is spectacular thanks to the 16.0 Megapixel sensor and Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor, and you can capture stunningly realistic 720p HD video in stereo sound with a simple press of the movie button. An enhanced Zoom Framing Assist button helps you track and capture subjects for sharp super telephoto photography, and new High Speed AF dramatically reduces lag time so you'll never miss a shot. Just hold the PowerShot SX500 IS in your hand to experience what makes the new design so special. The camera's slim, compact body is proportioned in perfect relation to the giant zoom, while rounded corners with angled grips are a natural fit for the palm of your hand. Zoom right onto the field to capture sports action, achieve those wide-angle travel shots, preserve memories of special events as beautiful HD video - it's all possible with the PowerShot SX500 IS!
Given the PowerShot SX500 IS's compact size and attractive proportions, it is especially impressive that the camera is equipped with a mega-powerful 30x Optical Zoom. With a 35mm film equivalent focal length that extends all the way from 24mm to 720 mm, your shooting reach is superb: you'll capture telephoto shots with detail like never before. The Wide-Angle Lens gives your images a distinctive sweep and grandeur, capturing landscapes, cityscapes, tall buildings and wide groups of people with ease. Genuine Canon optics ensure that your images are resonant with the clarity and brilliance made possible by Canon's decades of industry leadership in optical technology.
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC Image Processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new features to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated processing, making possible features such as high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer. New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also provide improved low-light capture.
Composing and checking your shots is easier with PowerShot SX500 IS's clear, high-resolution LCD (approximately 461,000 dots). The extra resolution also makes using the camera's menu functions more convenient. The large screen is easily viewable from a wide angle, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.
The PowerShot SX160 IS is equipped with Canon's latest advancements in Autofocus (AF) technology. Working on multiple fronts, Canon has developed AF that is significantly faster than on previous models, for a shooting experience that's spontaneous and natural. The extremely responsive High Speed AF lets you capture great shots as they happen, with reduced lag time.

ESPNcricinfo staff
August 9, 2012
The BCCI has asked IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore to get NOCs from its players on a revised payment schedule. As reported by ESPNcricinfo, several India and overseas players contracted to the franchise, including team captain Daniel Vettori, have not been paid the first installment of their salaries for the 2012 season.
"The IPL governing council today summoned the RCB officials to the governing council meeting to discuss on the players' payment issue," a senior governing council member told PTI. "After discussions, the BCCI has asked RCB to get 'No Objection Certificate' from the cricketers on the revised payment schedule. The franchise has promised that they would produce the NOC in some time."
"The BCCI can still wait for its yearly franchise fee but it is unfair if the players' salaries are not paid on time," the official said.
The players affected include those from India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. It is believed that Chris Gayle, though, has been paid his contracted amount.
Under every identical IPL contract, signed between the player, the franchise and the IPL, the players are due 15% of their fee for the season by April 1 (before the IPL or very early into it), 50% by May 1 (during the IPL or towards its end), 20% after the Champions League and 15% by December 1. It is understood that the players emailed the management after the season finished in May, but did not receive a straightforward response. Royal Challengers' franchise owners, the UB group, have recently hit financial strife, with owner Vijay Mallya's airline found to be in debt of $1.3b.

Hydrated skin: Does drinking water help?

Dr. Lawrence Gibson likens bad health information on the Internet to food poisoning.
Consumers, he says, need to be aware and will find reliable information at MayoClinic.com.
Dr. Gibson, a Covington, Ky., native, has been with Mayo Clinic since 1986 and is board certified in dermatology, dermatopathology and immunodermatology. He is a professor of dermatology at Mayo Medical School and a consultant in the Department of Dermatology.
Dr. Gibson has served as the fellowship director for dermatopathology and as chair of the Laboratory Division in the Department of Dermatology. He is especially interested in inflammatory disorders of the skin, including vasculitis, and in lymphoma affecting the skin.
"Electronic information has become a staple in the diet of a health conscious society," he says. "It's important to avoid misinformation and provide a credible source for health information. Using this analogy, it's critical to avoid 'indigestion' or, worse yet, 'food poisoning' by the ingestion of tainted information."

Hydrated skin: Does drinking water help?
Does drinking water cause hydrated skin?
from Lawrence E. Gibson, M.D.
Although proper hydration is important for your overall health, it's not clear whether drinking extra water affects skin hydration in healthy people.
Skin is made up of three layers — the outer layer (epidermis), the underlying skin (dermis) and the subcutaneous fat tissue. If the outermost layer of the epidermis doesn't contain enough water, skin will lose elasticity and feel rough. Despite this connection, however, there's a lack of research showing that drinking extra water has any impact on skin hydration or appearance.
If you're looking to maintain hydrated skin, there are steps you can take, including:
- Avoid exposure to dry air
- Avoid prolonged contact with hot or chlorinated water
- Use a gentle cleanser instead of soap
- Avoid using skin care products that contain alcohol
- Moisturize immediately after a bath or shower and regularly throughout the day
- Use a humidifier
- Wear a scarf and gloves when going out in cold weather
If you're concerned about dry skin, contact your health care provider or a dermatologist.

Judith Green #1
Universalism/Contextualism»Habits of speech, including syntax and vocabulary, and modes of interpretation have been formed in the face of inclusive and defining situations of context ... We are not explicitly aware of the role of context just because our every utterance is so saturated with it that it forms the significance of what we say and hear ... Now thought lives, moves, and has its being in and through symbols, and, therefore, depends for meaning upon context as do the symbols ... I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.« (LW 6: 4-5)

Judith Green #2
Re/de/constructions:Construction (experience)
»I have used the word construction" to denote "the creative mind, the mind that is genuinely productive in its operations. We are given to associating creative mind with persons regarded as rare and unique, like geniuses. But every individual is in his own way unique. Each one experiences life from a different angle than anybody else, and consequently has something distinctive to give others if he can turn his experiences into ideas and pass them on to others.« (LW 5: 127)
Reconstruction (habit)
»There is no one among us who is not called upon to face honestly and courageously the equipment of beliefs, religious, political, artistic, economic, that has come to him in all sorts of indirect and uncriticized ways, and to inquire how much of it is validated and verified in present need, opportunity, and application.« (LW 5: 142)
Deconstruction (criticism)
»Creative activity is our great need; but criticism, self-criticism, is the road to its release.« (LW 5: 143)
»We cannot permanently divest ourselves of the intellectual habits we take on and wear when we assimilate the culture of our own time and place. But intelligent furthering of culture demands that we take some of them off, that we inspect them critically to see what they are made of and what wearing them does to us« (LW 1: 40)

Judith Green #3-4
Truth and Warranted Assertions (Experimentalism)»... the term 'warranted assertion' s preferred to the terms belief and knowledge. It is free from the ambiguity of these latter terms, and it involves reference to inquiry as that which warrants assertion« (LW 12: 17)
Experience and the Real
»... the question ... is what the real is. If natural existence is qualitatively individualized or genuinely plural, as well as repetitious, and if things have both temporal quality and recurrence or uniformity, then the more realistic knowledge is, the more fully it will reflect and exemplify these traits« (LW 1: 127)

Judith Green #5
Experience and Language»If existence in its immediacies could speak it would proclaim: 'I may have relatives but I am not related.' In aesthetic objects, that is in all immediately enjoyed and suffered things, in things directly possessed, they thus speak for themselves.« (LW 1: 75f)

Judith Green #7-8
Democracy (Liberalism and Socialism)»The end of democracy is a radical end. For it is an end that has not been adequately realized in any country at any time. It is radical because it requires great change in existing social institutions, economic, legal and cultural.« (LW 11: 298f)
Democracy (Experience and Education)
»Democracy is the faith that the process of experience is more important than any special result attained, so that special results achieved are of ultimate value only as they are used to enrich and order the ongoing process. Since the process of experience is capable of being educative, faith in democracy is all one with faith in experience and education.« (LW 14: 229)

Judith Green #9-11
Democracy (Culture and the Power of Imagination)»Imagination is the chief instrument of the good" (LW 10: 350), because only "imaginative vision elicits the possibilities that are interwoven within the texture of the actual.« (LW 10: 348)
Democracy (Intelligence and Local Communities)
»In a word, that expansion and reinforcement of personal understanding and judgment by the cumulative and transmitted intellectual wealth of the community which may render nugatory the indictment of democracy drawn on the basis of the ignorance, bias and levity of the masses, can be fulfilled only in the relations of personal intercourse in the local community ... Vision is a spectator; hearing is a participator ... We lie, as Emerson said, in the lap of an immense intelligence. But that intelligence is dormant and its communications are broken, inarticulate and faint until it possesses the local community as its medium.« (LW 2: 371f)
Education as Growth
»Since growth is the characteristic of life, education is all one with growing; it has no end beyond itself. The criterion of the value of school education is the extent in which it creates a desire for continued growth and supplies means for making the desire effective in fact.« (MW 9: 58)

Hernia A protrusion of an organ or other tissue through an abnormal opening. The most common reference to hernia occurs in young boys, especially prematurely born ones, in which inguinal hernia is common. Normally the testes are formed in the abdomen and migrate down into the scrotum through the inguinal canal. Before birth this canal should seal off. If it is not completely sealed off, bowel may follow the same path to exit the abdomen into the inguinal canal or scrotum. This is an inguinal hernia and requires surgical repair.
Another hernia seen in newborn infants is that of the diaphragm (See diaphragmatic hernia.) where bowel from the abdomen protrudes up into the thorax, usually through a hole in the diaphragm.
About the only hernia which resolves on its own is an umbilical hernia that is covered with skin. This hernia results from an incomplete fusion of the abdominal muscles that permits part of the bowel to protrude up at the level of the umbilicus or belly button. As the infant grows, the muscle layers often increase and fuse gradually eliminating the hernia.

Park City Home & Condo Prices and Offers
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012Days on market for real estate in the Park City adn Deer Valey, Utah area
Days on Market is a piece of information that can give us some information about home sales in an area, but it is not the end-all statistic. In Park City, Utah the current average days on market for real estate is about 150 days from initial list to sale. This statistic counts only those properties that have sold (not inventory or expired/removed properties).
In general a lower number of days on market relates to a "hotter" market and less of a "buyer's market" but there are other factors that also have to be considered. Note that the 2007 timeframe has a relatively higher days on market; yet things were selling within days at this time. New construction is the reason in this case. Projects were selling out quickly, but the days on market statistic counts from the time the property goes under contract until the sale closes which in this case does not happen until the home or condominium is complete. Similarly, current days on market may be averaging a little longer due to the loan process taking longer now than it did a few years ago.
Buyers often ask how long something has been on the market and try and use that information in determining an initial offer. Unfortunately the correlation between days on market and accepted sales price does not always have a straight forward correlation. No two properties are exactly the same, so the sales price of two similar homes need not be the same. Similarly, the financial situation and reasons for selling are never the same for two individual sellers.
This is not to say that days on market does not have any value in determining a fair price. It is interesting to note that of the over 500 sales in the past 6 months, over 20% sold in less than 21 days (sales this quick are cash purchases). The average sales price of these quick sales was over 95% of the list price. Conversely, Park City properties that took longer than 180 days to sell had a sales price of about 90% of the list price.

Ask me what the I think the most impressive work of fantasy is, and I will answer — The Malazan Book of the Fallen. Steven Erikson's ten novel series is astounding, challenging, interesting, riveting, and it's often an awful mess. I say that last with a smile on my face. Erikson meanders through points of view, intersects plots, forgets plots, leaves others intentionally dangling, and rarely provides satisfying conclusions. His answer to this charge would be: history's a mess too. That's a perspective he embraces like never before in his newest novel, The Forge of Darkness.
I've heard Forge of Darkness referenced as a new entry point into Erikson's work, and a prequel to Malazan. Such classifications are problematic. To begin, it's quintessential Erikson — not easier to read, or more direct in its approach. There are also seemingly infinite numbers of points of view characters, so many in fact that keeping track of them often requires note taking.… Read the rest

starting monthly health screenings
Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) has recently started doing monthly health screenings for anyone interested.
"We noticed there have been entities from outside Creston coming in and offering these services," said LouAnn Snodgrass, Executive Director, Continuum of Care with GRMC, "and Greater Regional felt like it's something we should be able to offer our community and our residents."
The health screenings are offered the third Thursday of every month. The first screening was scheduled for December, but was canceled because of the snowstorm and rescheduled for Jan. 3. The screenings will take place at GRMC in the Medical Arts Plaza, Suite 105.

NH town seeks compensation for Obama campaign stop
DURHAM, N.H. (AP) -- A New Hampshire town is asking for reimbursement from President Barack Obama's campaign to pay for public safety costs during his upcoming visit.
Durham officials say Obama's visit on Monday is expected to cost the town an extra $20,000 to $30,000 in overtime.
The town absorbs the costs associated with presidential visits, but says it shouldn't have to foot the bill for political campaigns.
Town Administrator Todd Selig said Saturday the Obama campaign had decided it won't reimburse the town for those costs.
In a statement, the Obama campaign said, "The campaign will follow all rules and pay for the portion of travel that relates to political events, as has been true for previous incumbent presidential candidates."
Obama is scheduled to speak Monday at Durham's Oyster River High School.

BLOWING IN THE WIND: A plume of Saharan dust extends westward to the Canary Islands.

In Brief
- Although scientists have devoted much study to pollution, for many years they neglected the interrelatedness of natural dust and the atmosphere. Recently they have come to appreciate how dust influences climate and cloud formation—and the fertilization of oceans and rain forests.
- Despite much research, the effect of dust on the atmosphere is complex and poorly understood. Even the best supercomputers running the most sophisticated models do not provide a good picture.
More In This Article
The Bodele depression at the southern edge of the Sahara is a fearsome, forsaken place. Winds howl through the nearby Tebesti Mountains and Ennedi Plateau, picking up speed as they funnel into a parched wasteland nearly the size of California. Once there was a massive freshwater lake here. Now the lake is a shrunken puddle of its former self. Across most of the landscape, there is nothing.
Or so it would seem. But as the winds sweep the ancient lake bed, which has not been inundated in much of this area for several thousand years, they carry trillions of tiny particles skyward in vast, swirling white clouds. The dust then starts a mysterious journey—or a series of mysterious journeys—that scientists are trying to better understand.

2012-13 Undergraduate Catalog
School of Theology Since its founding in 1891, Seattle Pacific University has equipped men and women to engage the culture with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The SPU School of Theology, which exists to serve this end, houses undergraduate programs as well as Seattle Pacific Seminary. At both the undergraduate and the seminary level, faculty members will nourish your intellectual, spiritual, and personal growth. And they will help you master the critical skills and multicultural sensitivities needed to understand the Christian faith and translate it into practices that change the world. The School of Theology embraces a threefold model of theological education that we call Academy, Abbey, and Apostolate. This interplay of critical scholarship, spiritual edification, and Christian service—all informed by our Wesleyan heritage that joins "knowledge and vital piety" as a means of changing the world—defines a vision that distinguishes SPU among theology schools and seminaries. The SOT serves all SPU undergraduates through courses meeting the University Foundations requirements. These courses, described elsewhere in this Undergraduate Catalog and on the School of Theology web page (http://www.spu.edu/depts/theology/undergrad/foundations.asp), introduce students to the formative practices of Christian discipleship (UFDN 1000), the story of God told in Christian Scriptures (UFDN 2000/3001), and the distinctive doctrines of historic Christianity (UFDN 3100). We offer a single Theology major that includes a set of core courses combined with concentrations in Christian Scripture, Christian Mission, Educational Ministry, or Theological Studies. We also offer seven minors and an international certificate, all designed to enrich the Christian perspective of a student's chosen major and strengthen the connection between one's faith and one's life in the workplace, home, church, and world. Admission to Majors or Minors To qualify for a major in the School of Theology, students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher in all previous college credits and have attained at least a B- grade in a University Foundations course. A student must complete the major or minor requirements as listed in the catalog the year the student was admitted to the major or minor. Young Life Program For more information, contact the School of Theology at 206-281-2342. International Service Certificate Need to know when a course is being offered?

Wasn't sure on these. First, I thought that six tablespoons of garam masala made the kebabs much too spicy, and I can handle spice! Second, it seemed that there was nothing to 'bind' the kebabs - so as I flipped them under the grill they disintegrated! A bit on the dry side as well. The accompaniments were lovely though, I might try making again perhaps adding some breadcrumbs, an egg, and at least halve the amount of spices.

By JENNIFERC.KERR The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - With his wife and two daughters at his side, President Obama will raise his right hand and place his left on two stacked Bibles as he takes the oath of office for another four-year term.
Today, his second inauguration promises the pageantry of the first, but on a smaller scale than 2009, when a record 1.8 million people filled the nation's capital to witness Obama making history as America's first black president.
Obama has chosen to use two Bibles during his swearing-in - one owned by Martin Luther King Jr. and the other by Abraham Lincoln. He used the Lincoln Bible while taking the oath four years ago. He is adding King's Bible for an inaugural ceremony that will take place on the federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader.
At the 57th presidential inauguration, Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath of office to Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will administer the oath to Vice President Joe Biden. It's a day rich in history and tradition.
While you watch the proceedings on television from the warmth of your home, here's a look at the history behind the inauguration.
Q: Why is the inauguration on Jan. 21 instead of Jan. 20?
A: The Constitution's 20th Amendment, passed by Congress in March 1932 and ratified by the necessary states the following January, sets the inauguration date as Jan. 20 at noon.
Because that's a Sunday this year, Obama will take the official oath of office that day in a private ceremony. A public ceremony is today on the west front of the U.S. Capitol. Local officials are planning for an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people to crowd onto the National Mall to witness the oath-taking ceremony.
This is the seventh time the inauguration date has fallen on a Sunday. Inaugural ceremonies, however, are not traditionally held on Sundays because courts and other public institutions are closed.
Before 1933, the president had been sworn in on March 4, typically the final day of the congressional season. President Franklin Roosevelt's first inauguration, in 1933, was the last swearing-in ceremony held March 4.
Q: What is the oath the president recites?
A: Those words transform citizen to president and mark the beginning of a new administration.
Franklin Pierce, in March 1853, became the only president to "affirm" instead of "swear" that he would protect and defend the Constitution. There are Internet mentions suggesting that Herbert Hoover also opted to affirm, but the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association in Iowa says Hoover did not repeat the oath in 1929, and simply said "I do" after it was read to him.
Q: Does the chief justice of the United States always administer the oath?
A: Traditionally, it is the chief justice who presides over the swearing-in ceremony. But there have been about a half-dozen exceptions including in 1923 and 1963.
In 1923, Vice President Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office at his father's residence in Plymouth, Vt., following the death of President Warren Harding. Coolidge's father, Col. John Coolidge, was a notary public and he administered the oath to his son.
In 1963, Sarah Hughes, a U.S. district judge in Texas, administered the oath to Vice President Lyndon Johnson aboard Air Force One at Love Field in Dallas, after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Hughes became the first woman to swear in a president.
Q: When was the parade first started?
A: The first organized parade occurred at the inauguration of James Madison in 1809. But the tradition dates back the country's first inauguration of a president, George Washington, in 1789.
Local militias joined Washington's procession as it passed through towns on his journey from Mount Vernon to New York City, where he was met by the Continental Army, government officials and other prominent citizens who escorted him to his swearing-in ceremony at Federal Hall.
During Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration in 1865, African-Americans marched in the parade for the first time. Woodrow Wilson's second inauguration in 1917 saw women, for the first time, take part in the inaugural parade.
Obama's parade four years ago included the Lesbian and Gay Band Association for the march along Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. The association was the first lesbian and gay group in history to participate in a president's inaugural parade.
Q: How many inaugural balls are there?
A: Historically it's varied. The first inaugural ball was held in 1789 to honor Washington, and came one week after he was sworn in during a ceremony in New York City.
The tradition of the inaugural ball really began in 1809 when Dolley Madison hosted a gala for her husband, James Madison. Four hundred tickets were sold for $4 each. The tradition took hold as supporters reveled in the idea of a night to fete their new president with dancing and music.
Some presidents shunned the idea and wanted to avoid an elaborate celebration. Presidents Franklin Pierce, Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding requested no balls at all.
In more recent times, President Bill Clinton went from 11 inaugural balls in 1993 to a record 14 in 1997.
Obama had 10 official inaugural balls in 2009, but has decided to cut the number to two this year amid a struggling economy. One ball will be the invitation-only Commander In Chief's Ball, started by President George W. Bush for members of the armed forces. Tickets will be free for invited guests, including active duty, reserve and Medal of Honor recipients, among others. The other ball, called The Inaugural Ball, is open to the public, though only a limited number of $60 tickets were made available.
Q: Who pays for all this?
A: Much of the cost is picked up by supporters and other private donors, as it has been for years. In 2009, Obama raised $53million in private money for his inauguration. The private money pays for the official inaugural balls, the traditional parade, giant TV screens on the mall for the swearing-in and thousands of portable toilets.
Public money is used for security, which is harder to put a price tag on. Secret Service doesn't discuss it, but the federal government reimbursed the District of Columbia $44 million for the 2009 inauguration. That was just for city costs, not Secret Service or military personnel.
Other public money that has been set aside for this inaugural:
The Architect of the Capitol has $4.2 million to spruce up the Capitol grounds for the swearing-in ceremony on the west front. That money also pays for the inaugural platform under construction, along with bleachers and barricades.
Nearly $2 million has been approved for U.S. Capitol Police.
$1.2 million has been budgeted for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which handles all of the events taking place at the Capitol grounds for the inaugural.

Lou Grieco
2012 is just about over and, looking back, there were several significant stories involving the police and courts beats this year across the Dayton area. We can be thankful that no local police officers died in the line of duty and we can remain amazed at the depravity of certain folks. But here is the Top 10, in no particular order.
12. Top Cops in Trouble
Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly and Miami Twp. Police Maj. John DiPietro have long been two of the most visible law enforcement leaders in the region. Though both have actively cultivated media attention during their careers, both found themselves under unwanted spotlights this year.
11. Legal Victories
One year after his prison release, Roger Dean Gillispie racks up more legal victories. Freed just before Christmas 2011 after serving 20 years for rapes he says he didn't commit, Gillispie first won in the federal courts. But this year the state courts responded as well, when the Ohio 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled he should get a new trial. By declining to hear an appeal from that decision, the Ohio Supreme Court effectively threw out his convictions in November.
10. Locked up at home
Brian and Rivae Hart, who admitted keeping Mrs. Hart's granddaughter locked in an apartment bathroom for more than four years, were both sentenced to 36 months in prison. The girl was 9 in January 2010 when she told a teacher that her custodial parents were keeping her locked up in the bathroom except when she went to school.
9. The Trial of Raleigh Trammell
The Rev. Raleigh Trammell has always courted controversy, long before the Dayton Daily News investigation that led to his latest indictment. After hearing nearly two weeks of testimony, a jury convicted Trammell June 1 on 51 felony counts related to a home-delivered meals service run from the headquarters of the SCLC Dayton chapter.
8. Eva Christian goes to prison
Eva Christian made a name for herself as one of the region's best known restaurateurs. The former owner of Dayton's Boulevard Haus and Miami Twp.'s Cena, Christian was accused of insurance fraud and prosecutors alleged that she conspired to burn down Cena and staged a break-in at her home to collect settlement money.
7. Matt Kavanaugh suspended from UD
University of Dayton basketball player Matt Kavanaugh's one-year suspension from school remains shrouded in mystery, much of it resulting from Kavanaugh attending a private university. In fact, university officials have only said that the suspension was for violating the university's standards of behavior and code of conduct. What is known is that Kavanaugh, 21, was the suspect in a sexual assault investigation this fall that did not yield criminal charges, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office.
6. The Slaying of Dante Price
Price, 25, was shot March 1 at Summit Square Apartments on Hoover Avenue by two armed security guards. The Dayton Daily News investigated, learning that the guards had been patrolling the parking lot when they saw Price, who was on a trespass list and had been ordered to stay off the property. A grand jury indicted those guards, Justin Wissinger and Christopher Tarbert in July, on murder charges, finding evidence that the guards had overstepped their authority in trying to detain Price and by using deadly force to try to make him comply with them.
5. Undercover officer shot in Trotwood
It could be a police officer's worst nightmare: accidently shooting a fellow officer. On April 15, a Trotwood police sergeant and a Dayton undercover detective chased an armed suspect through the dimly lit parking lot of the Salem Avenue nightspot known as Leo's II. The chase ended with both officers firing. According to a police report obtained by the Daily News, the sergeant believed he shot the undercover officer, who was firing at the suspect.
4. The Trading of Children
In a case that horrified even the most jaded criminal justice veterans, Kenneth Brandt, 40, of Troy was accused this year of raping his adopted children, and loaning one of them out to two other men he met online.
3. Horror in Colorado
It was a tragedy that horrified the nation and beyond: a mass shooting July 20 at an Aurora Colorado movie theater, leaving 12 dead and 58 more wounded. But it also had a decidedly heartbreaking local twist: three local people were in the theater to watch the latest Batman movie.
2. Five Convicted in Urbana Woman's Dismemberment Death
Jessica Rae Sacco, 21, was found dead in her West Light Street apartment in March. At least parts of her were. According to authorities, her ex-boyfriend Matthew Puccio stabbed her in the abdomen, then suffocated her with a plastic bag. Next, he enlisted the help of four friends to dismember her body and dispose of limbs in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky. All five are now serving prison sentences.
1. Justice for Makayla
Makayla Norman, who suffered from cerebral palsy, could neither speak, move, nor feed herself. She weighed 28 pounds when she was starved to death March 1, 2011. Her body was covered with filth and open bedsores, her hair and eyebrows were infested with lice, and her diaper and colon filled with feces, according to Dayton police.

They typically ship it as soon as they have it in hand. If shipped via EMS, the order will usually arrive within 2-3 business days after being shipped out. So you will receive it a few days after the people in Japan, but nothing to sweat over. If shipped via SAL, it would take 2-3 weeks.
