(CBS News) Nearly a quarter-century after John Grisham's 1989 debut "A Time to Kill," he's bringing readers back to Clanton, Miss., with the new courtroom novel "Sycamore Row."
Grisham's new book is the latest pick for "CBS This Morning Reads."
In the new book, readers reunite with "A Time to Kill" character Jake Brigance, who becomes embroiled in another controversial case. The story focuses on a wealthy business man who commits suicide and leaves 90 percent of his money to his black maid in a handwritten will.
John Grisham's "A Time to Kill" heading to Broadway
"He was dying of lung cancer and he was in great pain and he decided to end it all," said Grisham on "CBS This Morning." "Right before he killed himself, he redid his will. He had a big thick will done by his lawyers, he shoved that aside, rejected that and hand-wrote a will -- which you can still do in almost every state, if you write all of it and sign it yourself -- left everything to his black housekeeper -- and that's the first chapter. ... It turns into a huge will contest, and Jake, our hero, is in the middle of it in Clanton, (Miss.), in the same courtroom and all of that."
Grisham also told the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts that many people tell him "A Time to Kill" was their favorite of his books and would often ask about a sequel. He said that he needed to wait until he had the story. But once he did, the story kept flowing.
There's so many wonderful anecdotes and stories to tell from Ford County," he said.
While Grisham has written many other books, he, as well as others -- including his wife Renee Grisham -- had doubts about being able to construct a sequel worthy of "A Time to Kill." However, "Sycamore Row" has been getting very positive reviews from the critics.
The Washington Post's Patrick Anderson wrote: "I think that if Faulkner were still down in Oxford and chanced to read 'Sycamore Row,' he would raise a glass of good bourbon and toast the younger writer for a job well done."
Told of that review, Grisham told the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts: "I'm sure he would drink the bourbon, I'm not sure he would say nice things about me."
He added, "I can't judge these things. ... I'll tell you what I can tell you. I didn't want to finish the book. Normally, when I start a book, I've got about six months and I got it all planned. As it gets closer to the deadline, I can't wait to get finished because I'm really tired of the characters and the plot line. This book, I could have written a thousand pages."

Climber rescued after 1,500-ft fall on Colorado's El Diente
DENVER, June 12 (Reuters) - A climber who broke his leg after falling more than 1,500 feet on one of Colorado's steepest peaks was safe after what local authorities said was their first helicopter rescue using night-vision equipment.
The San Miguel County Sheriff's Office said the "unusual" 12-hour rescue operation took place early on Wednesday after John Rohde of Denver suffered a severe leg fracture while climbing alone on El Diente Peak.
"He told rescuers that while attempting to pull up on a large rock, the rock moved and he fell an estimated 1,500 to 1,700 vertical feet," it said in a statement.
A helicopter crew using night-vision gear found Rohde, 60, on the 14,165-foot (4,317-meter) mountain in the Lizard Head Wilderness in the southwestern part of the state, but was unable to land on the rugged terrain, the sheriff's office said.
A five-member rescue team was then dropped in a valley nearby and had to climb 90 minutes through the darkness to reach Rohde, described as an experienced climber. Another helicopter was called in at daybreak to lift them to safety, according to the statement.
Rohde is recovering at the Montrose Memorial Hospital, in Montrose, Colorado.
San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters said it had been a dangerous operation. "El Diente is a particularly difficult peak to negotiate search and rescue missions," he said. "Doing this mission overnight in darkness presented additional challenges."

Lindsay Lohan's ex-bodyguard dishes on her wild life
News of the World has an exclusive interview with Lindsay Lohan's bodyguard Lee Weaver, who quit working for Lindsay after 2 years because it was "too dangerous." They also reveal sopme very scandalous pictures of Lindsay Lohan.
Lee Weaver dishes/claims that:
- he had to attack a gun-wielding cocaine dealer for ripping Lindsay Lohan off
- Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie snorted line after line of cocaine on a 10-hour binge
- Lindsay Lohan slashed her wrists with knives saying she "didn't belong on this planet."
- Lindsay Lohan is a lesbian and had "romps" with many girls she picked up at parties, and even tried to hook up with Mariah Carey.
Lee claims that Lindsay Lohan is the wildest Hollywood star he's ever dealt with:
"She had a total death wish and took more drugs and drank more than anyone I've met.
"I lost count of the times I thought she was overdosing and had to carry her out of parties. Every morning I'd breathe a sigh of relief she was still alive."
Lee decided to speak out (read: turn a profit) after seeing the pictures of Lindsay with the knives on the news last week. Lee claims that weapons, even guns, don't faze Lindsay if she's on cocaine. He claims to have taken her to her dealer.
"He was waiting for her in some bushes. Suddenly she started screaming and punching him for selling her short.
"He pulled a gun. I got out and he threatened to shoot me unless I got her to back off — but she kept hitting him. Luckily he got distracted and I punched him down.
"I dragged Lindsay into the car and drove off but she was screaming at me to go back. It was like Pulp Fiction. I knew then she was just too dangerous to be around."
Lee claims that Lindsay Lohan often went over to join Nicole Richie to do cocaine – always they did it in the bathroom to hide what they were doing. He says Nicole Richie is nearly as wild as Lindsay. Paris Hilton, sometimes there, didn't do cocain – she just drank and stripped. Interesting.
"But the more wasted they got the less she cared. In the end they carried in a mirror from the bedroom, laid it on the coffee table and emptied a mountain of coke onto it. They went at the stuff with straws, hoovering it all up then piling more on.
"I tried to tell Lindsay to stop but she just told me it was cool. After ten hours I'd had enough and threatened to throw the mirror out of the window. I had to carry her out to the car."
Lee says he often had to carry Lindsay Lohan home – his first job was to take Lindsay Lohan to a party in Beverly Hills where she snorted cocaine all night, dancing on tables, screaming, and flashing. He says that Lindsay turns from an angelic, fun-loving girl into a psychotic when drugged up.
And now, on to the lesbian claims:
"She used boys for drugs and girls for thrills," says Lee. "I lost count of the women she took back to her hotel room from clubs.
"I even saw her try to grope Mariah Carey's bottom and boobs one night as they danced. One time I went to look for her in a club bathroom and found her in the corner French-kissing a girl." When she wasn't snogging them she was just as likely to attack them.
One night, paranoid Lindsay went for blonde actress Jessica Simpson in a club. Lee says: "Jessica was sat with her pals and Lindsay became convinced she was shooting her dirty looks.
"She jumped over the table and dived at Jessica pulling her hair out. I had to pull her off her."
Lee also claims that Lindsay Lohan was cutting herself:
As Lindsay spiralled more and more out of control she started to self-harm, cutting her wrists with a knife.
"One night I looked at her hands and wrists and noticed they had bright red wounds all over them," says Lee.
"She tried to tell me she had fallen but when I looked her in the eyes and demanded to know the truth she just broke down.
"She told me, 'I don't belong on this planet any more'. She said she cut herself because she did not think life was worth living.
Lee thinks that Lindsay Lohan will only stop if she ends up killing someone else – or herself.

Music can do it, and so can the support of a gung-ho gym buddy. But those aren't the only ways to pump yourself up for a workout: Just saying the right words can actually enhance the effort of your muscles during exercise.
That's the new finding from a team of French researchers at the L2C2 Institute of Cognitive Sciences in Lyon. In a study on 25 people, each participant was asked to grip a sensor after hearing a series of different sentences. Some of those sentences featured affirmative action verbs related to the gripping task (such as "Fiona lifts the dumbbell") while others featured negative action verbs (Fiona doesn't lift the dumbbell") or were entirely unrelated to the task.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Grip strength increased significantly after the study participants heard affirmative action sentences, but not after they heard negative talk. Here's why: Your brain stores "representations" of actions that can be triggered ahead of time simply by thinking about executing those movements, explains study author Pia Aravena, a doctoral candidate in neuroscience at the L2C2. By hearing (or thinking about) action words in positive terms, you're essentially powering up the part of your brain that controls muscle movement, Aravena says.

If you're going to be using hand or arm muscles, say during a weight lifting session, it's most effective to think about movements using those body parts, Aravena explains. But if you're using your calves or upper legs, like during a run, think about sentences like "Fiona sprints," or others that feature lower-body muscles, she adds.
The power of language to strengthen a workout doesn't stop there. If you're looking to make fitness gains, but are tired of relying on the same old playlist, consider the findings of these recent studies to craft mantras that'll be the ultimate motivators:
Stay positive Peppy "self-talk" not only improves fine motor skills, it also increases strength and endurance output, according to a review of 32 sports performance studies conducted by Antonis Hatzigeorgiadi, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Thessaly in Greece. Like the L2C2 study, Hatzigeorgiadi's team found that motivational self-talk primes the muscles for action. His review explains that specific, technical phrases such as "elbows up" or "keep your head down" work best for fine motor skills like those required for swimming freestyle or hitting a golf ball. Inspirational sayings like "give it your all" are better for endurance activities.
Breathe through stress Believe it or not, even low levels of stress or distraction can lower the amount of work your muscles are able to perform, according to a study from Michigan Technological University. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: Take deep breaths and count from 1 to 10, which will focus the mind and reduce stress, explains a recent review from the University of Maryland.

I have been a citizen of Antioch for 67 years. At my age (77), I work on only one civic issue at a time. I investigate, explore and recommend resolutions that are doable. I try to be reasonable, and always stand ready to explain why and how they could be implemented. When appearing at City Council meetings, it is amazing to me that following presentations, comments are rare, and questions are never asked. Most requests are simply "side tracked" or ignored. When a decision is made, it is rare to hear the logic of how and why.
I have attended and addressed the Antioch City Council many times. My first issue was e-BART being shoved down our collective throats. BART promises ignored, after 48 plus year of taxes, and BART's previous mismanagement, short changing East Contra Costa County. We will now live with diesel trains. To my knowledge, not one of Antioch staff or council approached BART about the promise made and ignored.
My current work concerns preservation and restoring the Roswell Butler Hard House (RBHH) on First Street.
I am not on the board of The Friends of RBHH, but work to raise funds for that nonprofit group. I will also work on the house when asked, and as often as possible. My latest request, and the lack of action by the council, is the primary reason behind this commentary.
My perception of our council and staff is "who cares"! What I have encountered, as I try to work with Antioch city officials, is unbelievable!
If you agree with my opinion, pass this on to your friends, then appear at city meetings and express your concerns about their attitude. Express how Antioch is being run. Perhaps we can make a change — numbers count — individuals are brushed off.
It took 31/2 years for the Friends of RBHH to gain approval to transfer the home into their hands for restoration its original beauty. (3 ½ years and it's still ongoing!).
Two city council members were replaced during that time frame. Repeated meetings took place. When I addressed concern about delay after delay, one of the newly appointed members said "in government decisions take time, be patient." Wasn't over 3 ½ years beyond reasonable "patience?" After the city council and the redevelopment agency finally agreed to the transfer the process was placed in the hands of the Antioch City Attorney's office.
Over three months have passed since that turnover. A contract is now in process. The property will pass through escrow for recording, but no actual date has been determined. In that contract, Friends of RBHH are barred from access unless they obtain a million dollar insurance policy. The city attorney has not considered using a liability waiver for any injury that would allow preliminary work (alarm system installation, examination of damages for specific planning, and work on windows to protect from further encroachment by homeless and more damage). Waivers worded properly would protect the city from any liabilities. The Friends can wait! The city attorney cares less about protecting the house or allowing preliminary restoration efforts.
One of the first items on the Friends' list (following transfer) is to remove the oversized tree that is damaging the roof on the east side of the structure. The tree did not exist in the original landscape. The Friends want to restore the property to its 1869 beauty.
I went before the city council and presented a copy of a document sent to the city engineer. I asked for their help because city staff was applying the same old "runaround tactics" that caused the 3 ½ year Friends of the RBHH's fiasco. No questions, no comments, just blank stares.
I had raised the money to cover the cost for that tree removal by Davy Tree ($2,280) and sent a request to the Antioch city engineer. I was very specific, explaining the need. The city has removed other trees (10th & A streets) to improve that location. Those trees were not diseased; they were all as tall as the one at the Hard House. In my request, I clearly stated that this was being asked of his department before the transfer to the Friends. I knew that it is plausible, and would not cost Antioch anything. Immediate removal would indeed protect the house and would be appreciated by the new owners.
The city engineer did not understand my email and forwarded it to the city attorney for disposition and reply.
Then I received an email from the city attorney that was amazing! She had not read the details covered in my request to the engineering department. She called the Friends to ask if they were involved and was informed no, they were honoring the contract with the city. She was told that I was independent of them, but one of the first items on their agenda did indeed designate the tree as harmful, and that they wished to remove it as soon as possible.
Please note: City engineer "confused" went to city attorney "confused" went to Friends, who are now worried about reprisal or further delay.
The attorney emailed me with statements concerning breaking contract and informing me and outlining instructions about permits for tree removal, encroachment by a contractor, and told me that the city would not open and close a fence (for access) for Davy Tree. I replied to her the same day, informing her that my request did not break the contract or involve her department. What I was asking was within the jurisdiction of the city engineer. A copy of my reply was also sent to his office.
The same old "runaround tactic" reared its ugly head again! The engineer emailed me with instructions of the process of removing a "heritage tree." He said that I would have to get a permit, go through a 10-day waiting period, obtain an OK from the city tree commission, and obtain an encroachment permit for Davy Tree. I replied, stating that a tree on city property did not allow me to issue a permit! The tree belongs to the city! I also stated that this no different from city removal of trees at the Antioch City Park. No permits were required! My friends, this is not just about the Hard House. It is about what one can expect from our city government. I have observed repeated procrastination, unethical considerations, loss of opportunities and nonprogressive attitudes by our officials and their staff. The council allows the staff to run the city. All that they do is public relations.
I think that we should remove the incumbents, elect fresh people and replace the entire city staff. We have not been served — we have been lead down the road to bankruptcy with no real resolutions to recover. Ask any candidate "what," "how," and "when," and I promise you that all you will hear is the same old rhetoric! I want to hear a goal, a new idea, a plan, and means to improve Antioch. That effort is lacking. The focus on law enforcement seems to overshadow any effort of community improvement. This is a sad situation. We need fresh ideas, not the same old lack of progress. The evident "running around in circles" must stop; it gets us nowhere.
Fred Hoskins is an Antioch resident.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) – Police say a Nevada seventh-grader who went on a shooting rampage at his school nearly seven months ago was taking a prescription antidepressant at the time, and had told a psychotherapist that he was teased at school.
Twelve-year-old Jose Reyes opened fire Oct. 21 at Sparks Middle School, killing a teacher and wounding two classmates before committing suicide.
Sparks Police Chief Brian Allen said at a news conference Tuesday that Reyes told a psychotherapist that other students made fun of him.
Allen says there wasn't enough evidence to merit charges, but there were signs that classmates mistreated Reyes.
The police chief also said Reyes had been showing signs of autism, and wrote in a suicide note that he wished he had been a better son.

The Emotional Compass
Created | Updated Jan 6, 2013
(essay in progress)
How to design and build a working compass for the
safe navigation of the human emotional landscape.
Humans claim, and operate on, the assumption that we are
an intelligent species. We cite our intelligence as our most
important and most distinguishing feature. But we are first
and foremost an emotional species.
Whether consciously or not our earliest recorded tales tell us
of the importance of our emotions in guiding and explaining our
actions and behaviours. These are mainly found in various ancient
Religious and Philosophical myths and texts.
Our literary traditions continue to follow similar patterns, offering
stories that reveal our relationship to our feelings with notions
of the good guys versus the bad guys. We associate our feelings
with our actions and their consequences.
Historically we have spent a great deal of time and effort in
celebrating and indulging our passions. Our stories of heroes,
of morality, family, friends and nations celebrate our emotional
capacities. And generally they tend to be a guide to what are
the most admirable and desirable emotions. They demonstrate
by example how certain behaviours lead to personal happiness
and salvation or create the greatest communal good. And there
are also many examples of negative results from negative actions.
It is only recently that we have begun to explore the nature of
human emotions in any Scientific ways. It is proving to be a very
complex four dimensional puzzle almost beyond the abilities of
our Intelligence to define and comprehend.
Perhaps the earliest systematic effort to categorise our feelings
was the Greek theatre which set apart Tragedy and Comedy as
the two distinct and definable aspects of our emotional range.
How many emotions are there?
The two apparent extremes of Comedy and Tragedy might suggest
that Greeks recognised only two emotional settings. But it is far more
complicated than that. For one thing, the terms Tragedy and Comedy
were meant to define the nature of the plot, especially as to whether
the principal characters would live or die in the end. Our happy or sad
responses do not enter into it really; it was all about the Fateful and
predictable outcomes of Life or Death.
It is we, having no understanding of ancient notions of predestiny,
who wrongly apply assumptions of any emotional distinction. In both
Tragedy and Comedy the outcomes are already predetermined by the
Fates, forces beyond human understanding which are seldom influenced
by human emotional needs and desires.
The Happyface and Sadface we see paired as the iconic symbols of
modern theatre are not really accurate representations of classic Greek
Comedy and Tragedy but they do simplify our understanding through
the use of simple imagery representing the wide range of possible
emotional subject matter that can be presented in dramatic form
as well as a promise of our probable responses.
In fact this illusion of two opposites may prove helpful.
There are many emotions which seem to have opposites. Likely, the
most obvious set of primary emotional opposites are Love and Hate.
The next set we might think of us is Hope and Fear.
These pairs are assumed to be polar opposites so let's draw a
vertical line (AB) four inches long. And let's assign Love to the top
point A and Hate to the bottom point B. There'd be a full range
of degrees between the two extremes.
Next we will draw a horizontal line (CD) also four inches long which
intersects the vertical line at the half way point. This new line
will be
the range between Fear (C) and Hope (D).
For the moment let's assume the two lines are just like the North/South
and East/West axes of a compass with four
cardinal points representing
the most extreme extents of the basic emotions. We may note that these
intersecting lines are the same graph used in Trigonometry calculations.
We have four quadrants. And I believe that all the other names we might
have for any other seemingly different emotions can be ascribed to one
(or more) of these quadrants as a logarithm determined or influenced
by the four primary extremes.
There are dozens of other words we can suggest for an assortment of
emotional feelings we experience, but upon examination we'll likely agree
that these are really variations or combinations of the two major pairs
we placed on the crosshairs of our compass.
The most obvious other extreme emotion might be envy or jealousy. Yes,
there is an argument to be made that these two terms have distinctive
meanings, but for our purposes here let's assume they are synonymous;
and examine them and others later as being hybrids or algorithms of the
four basic emotions.
LOVE and HATE and FEAR and HOPE.
But are there really four or just two that operate on a wide range.
It is sometimes said, usually by Romantics with an air of Pragmatism,
that the opposite of Love is not Hate but Indifference. And to a certain
extent this is probably true. But the same might be said of Hate, that
the opposite of Hate is also Indifference.
So if Indifference is the absence of any strong feeling one way or the other
we can place it at the center of the vertical Love/Hate line AB at the point
where it intersects with the horizontal line CD. Shall we also assume that
this central point would be neutral along the range between Fear and Hope.
This would certainly fit nicely with notions of emotional balance or any of
the meditative ideas and methods of Centering.
LOVE and HATE
Much has been said and written, especially by poets, of the virtues
and pains that Love can bring. It could be called the primary emotion
because it is at the center of procreation from the meeting of lovers
to the raising of families.
From the basic family unit we extend our love to our community, our
nation, our race. And beyond that we are more likely to exclude
others for lack of familiarity. The strangeness or competitive nature
of others too often leads to a negative emotions we call hate. But
it is debated by philosophers and neurologists that both Love and Hate
are essentially the same emotion, being irrational gut reactions felt all
along a range of positive and negative feelings with prejudged values.
Closer examination of love and hate situations will also reveal that
these emotions can be instilled by ritual and assumptions long
any real interaction has occurred. We are often taught to Love or Hate
certain persons and groups before we have any real contact or experience
of the people involved. In some family situations we often see a conflict
between what we are taught to believe about family or brotherly love and
our actual experience within our families.
But the point here is that both Love and Hate are based on experience,
be it actual, ritual or historical. As such they are part of our past; they
have culturally imbedded values that become fixed and hard to modify.
Fear and hope are more flexible, being focussed upon the future. We
have expectations, dreads, anticipations of terrors or dreams and fantasies.
FEAR and HOPE
There is an emotional cycle that orbits the polar extremes of those opposites
we call Fear and Hope. We hope for the best but fear the worst.
Both Fear and
Hope are found in terms of looking forward. Unlike Love and Hate responses
which are feelings and opinions
based upon past experiences, Fear and Hope
lie in the unknown realms of the future tense.
We fear negative consequences of anticipated actions. Highly charged negative
and positive expectations can be generated by our internal imaginings which
direct our subsequent decisions. Or we can be caught off guard by external
actions by others or by other non-human factors in our environment. Our most
fearful expectations are of disaster, discomfort, disease, hate and war, death,
fire and famine.
And yet we hope for positive consequences to come from good; good thoughts,
intentions and good actions; from god, good-luck or love.
Both Fear and Hope can reach paralysing and even fatal extremes but usually
they burn themselves out and slowly we cycle back to the other extreme. Our
minds will rationalise the changes our bodies are making in our feelings.
Perhaps you have felt a time when the fear of being wrong just
collapsed from
over-exertion and you found yourself indulging the hope of being right or perhaps
just feeling the relief in knowing the Fear of being wrong was unjustified and
had been taking an unjustifiable toll on the psyche.
Most Fear is unwarranted but most Hope has no foundation either.
We espouse
the goods of Love, justice, fairplay, family,
friends, financial freedom and sunshine
in a warm meadow.
We try to convince ourselves that embracing these goods will
bring us more good
and we call this Hope. Just as we tend
to stockpile the negatives of hatred, rejection,
lack of confidence, memories of pain and suffering and call it Fear.
Hope and Fear are both active and present and focus on future possibilities.
Unlike with the Love/Hate spectrum there is very little of past experience that
can be relied upon to predict outcomes in unknown circumstances. Nothing we
know can prepare us for what is to come.
It could therefore be argued then that Fear and Hope have the same emotional
basis along a range of feeling from despair to blissful delusion depending on the
situation both external and internal.
So we have two just intersecting lines.
The vertical north/south line represents the emotional response that
ranges from
Love to Hate. And the horizontal west/east line represents
the range of Fear
and Hope responses.
Now all we have to do is create a way to plot certain points and
algorithmic arcs
throughout the four quadrants of our graphic display. But unfortunately not everyone
has a grasp of trigonometry or know how to utilise sines, cosines and tangents as
abstract arithmetic values. Not everyone is able to calculate reciprocal values
on a graph. We need a more user friendly, hands-on method to visualise the
relative value of mixed emotions.
Let's construct, one at a time, two squares. For both we need to locate the halfway
point along each arm of the crosshairs; this would be one inch out from the center
point and one inch from the end of any axis. For convenience we can call these points
W,X,Y and Z.
To create our first box we extend one inch lines parallel to the two
axis lines so that
these meet at right angles at a point one inch from the central lines. The completed
square will be two inches along all four of its sides, the same length as the original
cross lines but centered halfway along each arm.
Our second square box can be created by drawing line directly from W to X to Y to Z.
This square will appear as a diamond centered upon the axis and it will appear smaller
than the first square because each side crosses at a 45 degree angle between the
perpendicular axis lines. This diamond shape will be helpful when we start moving the
square around like a Oiuja pointer as we try to cover proportionately more or less of
each of its constituent components.
Let's for example give either of the squares a value or assign it a quality such as
Nostalgia one of of the other complex emotional experiences. If we think about it
Nostalgia is made up of mostly positive dimensions like Love and Hope, so if we
designate the square as Nostalgia we would move it up and to the right covering
most of the upper right hand quadrant between Love and Hope.
A more negative and violent emotional experience would cover most of
the lower
left hand quadrant between Hate and Fear.
Now let's put the circle around the whole thing.
The previous two examples reveal a difficulty with using the square, since it tends
to fill up an entire quadrant. This creates a problem when we use a circular shape
to enclose the compass. A corner of the square will extend outside the arc of the
circle. But not so if we rotate the square 45 degrees to create the diamond shape.
The diamond also refuses to allow us to move
any emotion entirely into a single
quadrant before one side of the diamond meets the radius. We must then assess
how much
of it remains in the other three areas.
This is of course the whole point of having an Emotional Compass. We can see
how much of the other qualities we need to encourage and embrace if we want
to bring any extreme emotion back to a more balanced or Centered condition.
We can all think of emotional qualities from Courage to Doubt to Embarrassment,
Shame, Guilt, Bravado and the excitement of Victory in sports or war. And we
must decide for ourselves how much of each of the Cardinal points is involved
in our own unique recipes.
Remember the distinctive emotion we mentioned earlier called Envy or Jealousy.
I suggested that these two words may not be entirely synonymous. Generally
it is held that Jealousy is felt in personal situations of love and companionship
while Envy is more likely involved with material possessions. So consider
these distinctions in the next exercise.
Imagine that the diamond/square is now coloured a suitable shade of green,
depending on whether you want to examine your Envy of another's possessions
or to judge the irrational harms being done to your health by harbouring Jealousy
over a lost love.
You can move it up or down or left or right along the two primary axis lines.
Once you are satisfied that the square is balanced and covers appropriately
sized areas of the four primary quadrants you can find the center or tipping
point and determine which directions you need to move toward to achieve
a long term balance of your feelings.
Envy probably has a lot of Hate and Fear, little Hope and no Love at all.
Jealousy is more likely to consist of its fair share of hate, a little bit of residual
but desperate hope, some lingering fear and a whole lotta love.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Lightning coach Guy Boucher was adamant Saturday that his main concern going into the game with the Hurricanes was to keep his players healthy.
The regular-season finale didn't mean anything in the standings, he noted. The playoffs against the Penguins start in a few days.
"So, we don't want any of our guys hurt," Boucher said.
Some gamesmanship, perhaps? Tampa Bay certainly didn't hold back in its 6-2 victory at the RBC Center, and Boucher didn't hold players out, as he said he might.
He was stingier in the way he rationed minutes. Even so, Tampa Bay (46-25-11), which won seven of its last eight games and tied the team record for wins in a season, worked hard to knock its division rivals out of the postseason. (Carolina's loss gave the Rangers the East's final spot.)
All that happened while digesting the news assistant coach Wayne Fleming is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
"I'm super proud of the guys," goaltender Mike Smith said. "It's a game that doesn't mean anything for us and is Game 7 for (Carolina) to get into the playoffs. But the guys came out right from the first shift and gave their all."
It wasn't just being a spoiler, though center Steven Stamkos admitted there was some of that.
Players said they wanted to tie the record for wins in a season. Boucher wanted to maintain the team's 20 percent power-play efficiency, which it did at 20.5. He wanted to stay in the league top 10 in penalty kill; check, after going 6-for-7.
Most important, though, was tuning up for the playoffs.
"We wanted to see where the team was at playing those type of games, playoff games," left wing Simon Gagne said.
What did he find out?
"It's good," Gagne said. "We got some good stuff going on. I think everybody is starting to be at their top."
Six Lightning players scored. Stamkos got his 45th goal and Vinny Lecavalier his 25th. Marty St. Louis scored his 31st and added two assists, and Smith made 42 saves as Carolina had a 44-35 shot advantage. The team blocked 21 shots and had 12 takeaways to the Hurricanes' three.
Right wing Steve Downie left the game in the third period after aggravating the high ankle sprain that has bothered him since December, though Boucher said he took the player out only as a precaution.
"It was a real team effort," Boucher said. "We played half the night on the penalty kill. They had all the chances in the world to come at us. We played a game that was against all odds and played well."
"This," St. Louis said, "was a playoff game."
First Period—1, Tampa Bay, Moore 18 (Downie, Bergeron), 6:45. 2, Tampa Bay, Lecavalier 25 (St. Louis), 11:19. 3, Tampa Bay, Stamkos 45 (Purcell, Gagne), 13:17. Penalties—Pitkanen, Car (slashing), 4:29; Bergenheim, TB (holding), 8:03; Lecavalier, TB (cross-checking), 13:51; Lundin, TB (interference), 17:27.
Second Period—4, Tampa Bay, Clark 9 (Lecavalier, St. Louis), 10:53. 5, Carolina, Stillman 12 (E.Staal, Skinner), 13:31 (pp). Penalties—Moore, TB (interference), 12:19; Tyrell, TB (tripping), 12:23.
Third Period—6, Carolina, LaRose 16 (Bra.Sutter, McBain), 8:33. 7, Tampa Bay, Gagne 17 (Thompson), 17:44 (en). 8, Tampa Bay, St. Louis 31 (Purcell, Smith), 18:24 (en). Penalties—Kubina, TB (hooking), 5:25; Tyrell, TB (boarding), 15:44. Shots on Goal—Tampa Bay 18-10-7—35. Carolina 12-15-17—44. Power-play opportunities—Tampa Bay 0 of 1; Carolina 1 of 7. Goalies—Tampa Bay, Smith 13-6-1 (44 shots-42 saves). Carolina, Ward 37-26-10 (33-29). A—17,805 (18,680). T—2:25.

Tsirku River Rafting Overnight Trip
(2 Day)
Join Alaska Mountain Guides for a spectacular wilderness river trip for two days on the Tsirku River. Located just outside of Haines, Alaska, It's waters drain from the largest non-polar ice cap and largest protected wilderness area on the planet. Glaciers descend dramatically from over 7,000 feet to the valley floor in this majestic wilderness valley. There are opportunities to see abundant wildlife including bears, moose, wolves, bald eagles and to explore the Le Blondeau glacier within a short hike from our comfortable camp.
We'll meet up in Haines the evening prior to the trip, to go over personal equipment and answer any last minute questions. The following morning we'll drive about an hour to our put in and head up the Tsirku River about 12 miles via air boat. Depending on conditions, we may also fly in via bush plane to the upper Tsirku. After arriving at the remote wilderness camp, we'll set out to explore the glacier, river and enjoy the scenery.
The following morning, we'll break down camp, load up the 16 foot oar rafts, and head down the Tsirku River. The first 5 miles passes underneath towering peaks and a series of glaciers descending nearly to the river's edge. After some fun rapids, we'll stop and enjoy lunch alongside the braided river.
After about 15 miles, we come to the confluence of the Tsirku, Klehini and Chilkat Rivers and the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. The preserve was established to protect and perpetuate the world's largest concentration of Bald Eagles and their critical habitat. These three rivers form a broad delta, home to Klukwan, the mother village of the Tlingit Nation. We'll continue for a few more miles at a relaxed pace to our take out on the Chilkat river. From the take out, it's a an hour drive back to Haines.
Our overnight Tsirku rafting trip is an exciting journey into the heart of Alaska's glaciated mountain wilderness. No experience is necessary. It is a fun trip with experienced and knowledgeable guides in one of most pristine and scenic locations in Southeast Alaska.
HAINES: Haines Alaska is the starting/finishing place for this trip. Haines is a small community located along the fjords at the top of the Inside Passage. The natural beauty and wilderness access found here are responsible for Haines' reputation as a center for wilderness adventure in Alaska.
TRANSPORTATION: After meeting in Haines, we will drive in Private Vans up the Haines Highway for about an hour to our put in. From the put in, we'll take an airboat up to the headwaters of the Tsirku. We may also use a small plane to fly into an airstrip to this remote area. The following day, we'll raft down the Tsirku and Chilkat Rivers of to a take out, and then drive about 30 minutes back to Haines in the late afternoon.
THE RIVERS:  Generally, we'll be on the water for 6-8 hours. The river begins with some Class II rapids and a slightly steeper gradient. The river slows down slightly as it joins Chilkat River and the Bald Eagle preserve.
OUR GUIDES: Alaska Mountain Guides & Climbing School Inc. instructors and guides are professionals. They are special individuals who have a passion for being on the river. They have a wealth of experience from guiding throughout Alaska and the world, and they genuinely enjoy sharing their knowledge. Their skill and positive attitudes help our guests to have the best possible experience during their trip. Your safety and enjoyment are their primary goals.
LENGTH: Two days Haines to Haines.
INCLUDED: Transportation to and from Haines, food during the trip, instructors/guides, a dry bag for some odds and ends, and all group rafting and camping equipment.
NOT INCLUDED: Airfare to/from Haines, hotel and food in Haines, personal equipment, and sales tax.
SEASON: We typically run Tsirku River trips from mid-May through the end of August.
ADDITIONAL TRAVEL OPTIONS: Haines based programs can easily be combined with mountaineering, sea kayaking, skiing, hiking, ice climbing or rock climbing programs. Call for more details.
Please contact us if you have any questions, or if you would like additional information.

Went for lunch based on the reviews here. I have to say we must have gone to different restaurants. We do not do organic, but GF is a necessity. The prices are high for what we got. No sides, 2 drinks for 5 people and 1 bowl of soup, 1 pizzetta, 2 pressed sandwiches, and tortilla chips sprinkled with some cheese (kids menu). My press with "chicken breast" appeared to have 1 slice of chicken deli meat. The soup had a nice flavor, but the rest could have been passed over. We left and drove to our condo for a snack immediately. I won't return and definitely have some buyers regret with what we got and what we paid.
Food was excellent!!! Staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac & which items on the menu were GF. will definitely come back!!!
This is the best gluten free/ dairy free food I have ever had. We came back twice in one day! I highly recommend.
Great food - very conscientious about food allergies! Very good food too! Highly recommend this place - food allergies or not!
This has been the best meal I've had during my trip. Australians will love the simple, fresh foods. Great because it is not the overly sweetened food you get everywhere else. Had the white smoothie and the chicken Roma press. Awesome gluten free food.
Lots of gluten free, dairy free and vegan items. Excellent food. GF grilled cheese is amazing. Soups are fantastic. Beach pops are a great finish to your meal. They take extra precaution to ensure no cross contamination.
Absolutely fantastic! Grain free, gluten free, great pizzas!! My gf son ate two pizzettes!!! Healthy, organic and amazing attention to detail. Wonderful place.
Amazing lunch place! Everything except a few breads are gf and they keep the gluten separated. Designated gf prep area. Great soup, salads, sandwiches, pizzas for lunch + green smoothies and ice cream for snacks.
Absolutely delicious and safe. The guys working there are friendly and knowledgeable. Are there 3 times over my weekend visit!
Good stuff! Cross contamination chances are very low - as they only offer 3 things that have gluten (flour tortillas, what tortillas & Ezekiel bread) and they treat those as allergens & keep them away from the prep space.
I travel all over the country for work and this is one of the best places I've been to. So many gluten free options for wraps and sandwiches. They also make sure their daily soup is made gluten free every day.
This is the place to go if you are too nervous to eat out. They know their stuff and have gone the extra mile to ensure no cross contamination happens. The gentleman behind the counter explained everything perfectly. You will be in awe at all the precautions they take!
Great place with multiple choices. Accommodated GF and DF as well as Soy Free choices. Excellent desserts at the Beach Pops side
We're vacationing in this area. Two of five in our group have celiac disease. They had so many choices and we're very knowledgeable . I had a wrap which was obviously fresh and totally yummy! We tried their mint cookie, brownie and scone. I'm not a big coconut fan so I didn't care for the mint cookie. Three people got the frozen banana brownie sundae- very good! So many choices- worth stopping by if you're in the area
Great experience. Tons of gfree options and healthy options!
good choices.wraps.sandwiches.salads.had gf pizettas. a little pricey but filling meal. many beverage& gf desserts to eat& carryout.
Great sandwich shop that is very close to the beach. Lots of gluten free options, actually most everything can be made with gf bread or wrap. The gf focaccia flat bread makes a great sandwich, with a New Grist beer. Only downside is that it is expensive for sandwiches, about $15 per person with drinks, but worth it for an easy Gf meal! My non gf family loved it, too.
Many dairy free options also, including smoothies and ice cream. Very knowledgable staff.
The pops were terrific - tasty, cold, not too sweet, lots of flavors to choose from - the wrap, not so much. The tortilla was cold and brittle so it broke up into increasingly smaller pieces as you handled it, making it really messy to eat. That might have been easy to overlook had it tasted really good, but the sun-dried tomatoes tasted off. The avocado and the fact it was gluten free were the only things that saved it.
What a fantastic surprise! My GF travel companion and I saw the sign for Wild Roots and noticed they offered organic foods. This normally has a chance for GF items, so we found them on Facebook and saw they mentioned gluten-free. We took a risk right before leaving our "weekend get-away" in the Pensacola Beach and tried them out, after talking with the head chef. She couldn't have been more accommodating. Everything they make is essentially gluten-free. The items that are not GF are pre-packaged things like wheat wraps, which are stored separately from the GF foods. She addressed their policy on avoiding cross contamination before I even asked....GOTTA LOVE THAT! She also revealed that she is one week into eating a stric gluten free diet herself for health purposes. We ate the soup of the day, which was a mushroom and cream of cashew. We also split a GF wrap called the Floridian with veganaisse and guacamole, and a GF flatbread, which was just their toasted version on thr wrapped, served open-faced. She explained that they toast the GF items on grill to the left and "regular" breaded items on the right. She also explained that they have color-coded knifes when cutting the breads, so as not to risk any gluten relatef issues. The fact that this place is across from the Hilton and Hampton Inn makes this small cafe a win for GF beach-goers! In the same building is their smoothie bar called Beach Pops, which has tons of GF options when wanting a cool, refreshing sweet drink at the beach. In May 2013, they will also be expanding to offer grocery items and dinner. They are currently open from 9am till 5pm. Enjoy!

Segal and the AIM Autosport team have won three times this year, and have led the points for the last four events.
Three 2012 Victories Tops in Rolex Series for AIM Autosport Team FXDD No. 69 Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (June 27, 2012) – Jeff Segal, and co-driver Emil Assentato and the No. 69 AIM Autosport Team FXDD Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am team, will bring the best results record of the 2012 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series season to Watkins Glen International this weekend for the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen, June 29 – July 1.
Segal and his teammates won a series-leading third 2012 GRAND-AM Rolex Series GT race last Saturday at Road America to extend their class points lead for the fourth consecutive race. Segal and the No. 69 squad are also the first team in the Rolex Series this year – Daytona Prototype and GT combined – to earn three race victories.
"We're definitely getting the job done right now, particularly when you look at the results of the last few races," Segal said. "While the on-track performance has been great, there is so much work that goes into it behind the scenes, and I think that is where our team is really excelling right now."
Although the new Ferrari has been competitive all season, the No. 69 is rarely the fastest car on the track within the current GRAND-AM Road Racing rules structure. The winning Road America effort saw Segal only turn the sixth fastest overall GT race lap, but the AIM Autosport Team FXDD more than makes up for it with top preparation, planning and race strategy.
"The team has been great at preparing the car for the events, which allows us to start the weekend strong and spend all of our time refining the handling of the car instead of chasing bigger issues," Segal said. "Our engineers have really nailed the setup for the past two races, and then they've also made some very bold strategy calls in the races to leapfrog us up to the front when we wouldn't have otherwise been there. All of this is critical to the success we've had lately, and for now it all seems to be working exactly as it should be. This is where a lot of the homework and preparation culminates in positive results, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this team this year."
Segal's previous wins this season came in March's Grand Prix of Miami and one race later last month at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Segal and his teammates also have a pair of runner-up showings this season at Barber Motorsports Park and earlier this month at Mid-Ohio. The five podium appearances in the year's first seven races are tied with the No. 01 TELMEX/Chip Ganassi Racing Daytona Prototype team for the most in the GRAND-AM Rolex Series in 2012.
Segal has many career "firsts" at Watkins Glen, including a breakout win in the 2008 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen with Assentato.
"The Glen was where I had my first taste of a race track riding shotgun in a Ferrari when I was 10 years old and ever since I've loved coming back there," Segal said. "The track is ultra-high speed, high commitment, and it has a flow to it that that makes it almost as fun to test as it is to race. I've got great Rolex Series memories at Watkins Glen as well, winning my first race there in 2008 and then again at the short track in 2009. I usually look forward to racing at The Glen more than any other race on the schedule, so I'm really excited for this weekend."
Segal, Assentato and the No. 69 Autosport Team FXDD Ferrari head to Watkins Glen with a season-high 21-point lead in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series GT Championship standings. Segal and Assentato have 220 points to top the driver standings while the No. 69 AIM Autosport Team FXDD Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am leads the team championship with the same points total.

Sheriff: Attempted abduction reported at Creswell school
CRESWELL, Ore. -- The Sheriff's office says a middle school student did the right thing when a strange man told him to get in his vehicle.
On Tuesday, the Lane County Sheriff's office says the parent of a student at Creswell Middle School reported an attempted abduction of the child.
Deputies say the student had left school early, leaving out the back gate at S. 7th St and Barber Dr. at about 2:30 pm.
The child reported to his mother that when he was leaving, he saw a male standing near a vehicle parked on the south side of Barber Dr near 7th St.
The boy says the man told him to get in his vehicle and that his mother had told him to pick him up.
The Sheriff's office says the boy took off to his house and told his mother.
Authorities say the man did not approach the child or make a physical attempt to grab the boy.
Officials searched the area but did not locate the male.
The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 36-years-old and was wearing a baseball cap and a red jacket. The vehicle is described as an unknown year 4 door SUV, possibly a Chevy Tahoe or Ford Explorer, grey in color with a green paint tint.
Creswell Middle School staff were advised of the incident, and the officials say they will have extra staff watching all the exits of the schools.
Officials are reminding parents to talk with your student age children about the dangers of talking to or getting into vehicles with strangers.
The Sheriff's office is asking anyone who might have information about the suspect, the suspect vehicle or observes suspicious behavior to call them at 541-682-4150. If an active abduction or act against a child is in progress, please call 911.

My research centers on the global issue of how immune responses are regulated. I have chosen to approach this problem by focusing on the regulation of gene expression in two systems: the regulation of the human major histocompatibility complex class II genes (MHC class II) and the mechanisms by which tumor necrosis factor (TNF) regulates expression of a wide variety of genes.
The MHC class II genes are a family of genes that encode cell surface glycoproteins that function by presenting processed antigenic peptides to helper T cells. This function is responsible for initiating immune responses to foreign substances and results in the selective control of T cells and the production of specific antibodies. MHC class II products are expressed predominantly on B cells and antigen presenting cells, such as the macrophage. Experiments in the laboratory focus on identifying the role that chromatin plays in controlling gene expression. We use both in vitro and animal model knock-in/out systems to address the regulatory events that occur. One new area of investigation centers on the cell fate differentiation step between B cells and plasma cells. At this step global gene repressors and activators function to reprogram gene expression profiles. Our lab is using the master regulator CIITA as a model gene to study at this interface.
The regulation of genes by TNF marks the initiation of inflammatory responses. TNF controls a wide variety of genes that appear to be regulated by different mechanisms. We have chosen two genes that are regulated by TNF to study, the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene (MCP-1) and the manganous superoxide dismutase gene. For each of these genes, we have identified complex TNF responsive regulatory elements, and for MCP-1 we have found a novel control of chromatin assembly of transcription factors that is mediated by TNF. Experiments are focused on examining this mechanism of control. Additionally, the factors that interact with the MCP-1 regulatory DNA appear to assemble as a multi component complex. Experiments are designed to determine the parameters of this complex both in vitro and in vivo.
Our research uses genetic, biochemical, and molecular biological technologies to unravel the mechanisms by which immune system genes are regulated. Two systems are studied. The first focuses on the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) genes, which are responsible for the presentation of foreign antigens to T lymphocytes. Proper tissue specific regulation of MHC-II genes is essential for the control and development of immune-based responses to pathogens and protecting from cancer and autoimmune disorders. Our studies examine the role that modifiers of chromatin structure play in organizing the architecture and expression of MHC-II genes. Recently, we found that interactions between transcriptional insulators and gene promoters form a unique architecture within the nucleus of each cell that is critical to expression of the gene system. Identification of the factors that control this architecture is a current thrust of the work as these are potential targets to manipulate immune responses and improve the efficacy of vaccination protocols. This repression of function creates a cell fate program, in which cells that can recognize the virus are unable to act to remove it. Recent work has shown that PD-1 is regulated by a complex set of transcription factors that activate or repress the expression of the gene depending on how the immune cells are exposed to antigen. We have also found that this cell fate program is regulated in an epigenetic manner such that the information gained during by one cell can be passed on to its descendants. This work has led to the development of technologies to dissect epigenetic processes across the genome and is being used to define cell differentiation programs. By understanding the mechanisms that govern regulation of these genes, reagents may ultimately be designed to combat chronic conditions.

Police Media Spokesperson SSP Prishantha Jayakodi stated that excavations are conducted in 3 places in Punarin in Kadarimune in search of the remains of the Lion Air passengers.
The SSP stated to our news team that nothing was found from the excavation activities conducted yesterday.
The Lion Air plane disappeared on September 28th 1998 while flying from Palali to Ratmalana.
The information about the plane was revealed by an LTTE cader who was arrested and handed over to Terrorist Investigations Department, by the army on June 13th 2011.
Accordingly, the army managed to find the parts of the missing plane that was destroyed by a missile attack about 4 miles away from Iranathiv island in Mannar.
At the time of its disappearance, 48 passengers and 7 crew members were on board

While it's not always necessary to include images in your posts doing so adds interest and eye appeal. Also when it comes to bringing search engine traffic to blogs, images do that. Even if readers do not like your posts, image searches can bring your blog hits. This post contains tips for SEO of images.
SEO for images
The Google crawler cannot read image scripts and therefore using the ALT attribute (providing a description) will allow you to tell the crawler what the image is referring to. If you want your images to be indexed by the search spiders then give your images the full treatment (TITLE tag, ALT tag Description).
Without a TITLE tag, no 'hover text' will show up when the mouse passes over your image. Hover text is a useful way of letting your readers know what's in a picture.
Without an ALT tag, Google will likely fail to index your images correctly according to the keywords you want, because those key words have not been provided. In other words, if you do not provide a description, you are depriving your images of possible hits that could have come if it had been used and had included key words.
Also note that it takes up to 6 months for Google image search to find your pictures, but it will miss your pictures altogether if you don't use ALT tags and Title tags correctly.
Additional SEO tips for image optimization
- Surround your image with pertinent text.
- If your image isn't unique (i.e another instance in Google index), then resize it so it will look different for search engines.
- Use high quality images only and the SERP thumbnail will have a better appearance.

'Dancing With The Stars' Election 2010: Is Bristol Palin The Beneficiary Of A Right-Wing Coup?
This Palin isn't nailin' her moves: And still she gets votes.
Bringing us flashbacks of Al Gore's
2004 2000 loss to George W. Bush (the horror), there's another controversy brewing over the Republicans' alleged, vote-bending ways:
That's right, Palin-gate, 2010. And it doesn't involve Tea Party queen Sarah Palin. Rather, this claim of possible voter fraud, or at least overzealous phone use by the red-state massive, is aimed at daughter Bristol Palin, whose two-left-footed skills on ABC's Dancing With The Stars have nonetheless kept her in the show's Top 5.
Why? There could be a right-wing movement a-Twitter. Oh yes they can:
The Weekly's Simone Wilson reports that Palin (Jr.) backers have been using social-networking sites to get out the phone-in vote for for the slightly chunky dancer.
Bristol Palin shows us how to win without skills.
Our commenter of the day, "alert," says this is all a great embarrassment for America (we're sure Ben Franklin is stirring in his grave ... over the fact that we vote more for TV contestants than congressional ones):
What in thee world is going on with people voting for Bristol? For one thing, they are putting her in an awkward position. It's like your mom voting for her daughter on a cheerleading team, knowing so full well she can't keep up with the other girls. In the end...it make her look bad. I feel sorry for her!
What a mess!

SNAS/DHL deliveries to China up 80 percent
Saudi SNAS/DHL recorded an 80 percent increase in imports shipped to China in 2002. SNAS DHL is facilitating trade relations between the two countries through its China First program, comprising of 40 offices serving 1,000 towns and cities across the country.
"China entered the World Trade Organization in December 2001 and in less than a year we have seen an 80 percent increase in consignments air expressed to Saudi Arabia by DHL," said SNAS/DHL Country Manager in the Kingdom, Harlis Malkic.
The Chinese economy is undergoing rapid transformation. In 2001 total import and export volume was $400 billion. Major stimulus is coming from foreign investors galvanized by China's entry to the World Trade Organization. In 2001 foreign direct investments reached more than $40 billion.
In 1980 DHL became the first international air express company to operate in China and from the beginning has worked with Sinotrans as its only partner nationwide. n addition, DHL operates bonded warehouses in Beijing, Shanghai and Qong Cho.
DHL Worldwide Express became the first air express company to begin operations in the Middle East. The company invested 2.8 million Saudi riyals in the DHL Saudi Arabia IT Data Center (KSADC) in Dammam, to upgrade the facility to a Center of Excellence for information technology.
SNAS is the largest air express company and the first global courier company to operate in Saudi Arabia with a fleet of nine aircraft operating over 430 flights monthly. DHL has a fleet of over 260 aircraft.
In Asia-Pacific/Middle East alone, DHL serves 51 countries and territories, operates more than 1,300 stations, employs more than 18,000 personnel and operates about 3,900 transport vehicles. — (menareport.com)

8 Stable Career Choices
By Mark Swartz
Monster Senior Contributing Writer
Uncertainty has become the new normal. Change happens quickly and constantly. For people who embrace turbulence this is good thing.
For others, this whirlwind world of ours can be somewhat overwhelming. Whatever happened to predictable careers? Has job stability really disappeared for good?
Not necessarily. Certain occupations are less volatile than others. Some of the more secure ones for the foreseeable future are described below.
Helping students learn is a nice, internally rewarding way to earn a living. Not to mention the prospect of extended summer breaks and holidays, plus excellent pension and benefits plans.
Don't be fooled though by thoughts of short days, and evenings totally free of work: it takes a good deal of time to prepare lessons and mark the material that's handed in. Also these jobs are at a premium so it can take a while to get a full-time position. See all Teacher jobs.
CMA, CGA or CA…any of these three accounting designations puts you in demand with Canadian employers. Every company needs finance specialists as part of their team. And if you want to be a highly valued member of that team, earning the CGA designation can help make it happen!
Accountants can work for consulting firms or "in house" at just about any type of employer. There's also the option to hang out your own shingle and become self-employed. See all Finance jobs.
Government Employee
Government Employee
A Public Service career offers many fulfilling jobs, a chance to make a difference to your fellow Canadians, stability and an excellent benefits package. Canada's Public Service employs 450,000 people across the country. There are government jobs at the local, provincial and federal level available.
Plumber or Electrician
Sink clogged again? Fuse box blown and the lights are out in your home? Time to call a plumber (for the sink) or electrician (to fix the fuses).
These skilled trades are always in demand. Mind you they require that you go through an apprenticeship to get started. This takes several years. So keep this in mind when planning your career path. See all jobs in Construction.
Helping the ill and injured heal is a profession with a noble history. Florence Nightingale, for example, considered her career a calling.
Today there are male nurses, hospital nurses, homecare nurses, nurse educators…the field ranges widely. Also there are three different credentials to choose from: Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN). See all Nursing jobs.
Recruiter For Temporary Jobs
Recruiter For Temporary Jobs
Due to the economy, people are increasingly opting for temporary positions in hopes of turning them into a permanent job. This has created an increase in demand for Placement Specialists and Recruiters who help these people and companies find each other.
As more employers hire people on a contingency basis – for fixed-term contracts and temp assignments – recruiters in this specialty gain more security. But success requires self-motivation and constant networking to keep your list of candidates robust.
Social Media Marketer
Can you evangelize (promote) products, services and brands online effectively? It takes more than sending out the occasional Tweet on Twitter or Status Update on Facebook. This field is evolving faster than you can post about what you ate for breakfast today on MySpace.
Knowledge of market segmentation and advertising ROI (Return on Investment) are essential. You needn't be a full blown techie to succeed in this occupation. Except you'll have to become well versed in such trade techniques as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing). See all jobs in social media.
Computer Systems Analyst And Administrator
According to AOL Jobs, technology is at the center of both business and pleasure these days, so it's no wonder technology analysts and administrators are in high demand. All areas of the field are growing. The most expansion (53 percent growth by 2018, says the U.S. Department of Labor) is in network systems and data communications - network architects and engineers, Web administrators and developers - as more companies upgrade technology. See all Computer Systems jobs.
Don't Forget About Job Satisfaction Too
Don't Forget About Job Satisfaction Too
Security is an important part of choosing your career, no doubt. But would you give up job satisfaction to get it?
You wouldn't want to pursue teaching, for instance, if you don't enjoy being in front of a classroom filled with students, or like doing virtual teaching using the latest online tools.
It's one thing to strive for the stability of a relatively predictable, in demand career. However true job security comes loving what you do for a living. The passionately employed are most likely to do well, and stay happily employed, no matter what their occupation is.

Mayor Mitchell on Settlement [AUDIO]
Mayor Jon Mitchell is defending the 366 million dollar settlement with AVX Corporation for the removal of PCB's from New Bedford Harbor. Mitchell admits, the settlement may not be enough to complete the job, but its a "win" for New Bedford nevertheless.
Mitchell says he's still talking with the EPA about disposal of PCB's in the harbor. He also wants to get local firms signed up as contractors for the project, so some of that 366 million can stay in the community.

|I consider this route to be the best that Turkey Rock has to offer. The key to the onsight or the red point is to keep moving once you are in the corner crack. Do not be intimidated by the wide roof. Place a #4 Camalot at the lip, reach deep and high and there is a hand jam, run it out 10 feet ( clean fall) until you can stem and rest, place #1. Good Luck!

|You can rappel off this route with a single 60 meter rope in 2 rappels. There is another set of cold shuts below the set described in the route description. Peter Hubble is wrong about where the crux is on this route. He claims it is at the first off-width roof, it is definitely at the top roof.

|While not technically as hard as Whimsical Dreams, over all difficulty is on par with that route for me. Huge endurance fest, with several thuggish moves. For me, he crux was certainly pulling around the bulge to the right where the crack widens to fists. The upper roof is more tecnical but not as demanding.

|As of 5/30/09, this route's current state makes it very unpleasant to climb. It is coated in bird crap, so much so that as you climb through the main jams of the route the crap will leave skid marks across your arms and makes it more difficult to climb from the slickness. Very, very, dirty right now. Maybe in the colder months this climb is cleaner and more enjoyable.

|Greg German, Greg Barnes, and I replaced the original anchor on this route with 1/2" stainless steel bolts. The old 3/8" wedge bolts spun out with scary ease. The exact same holes were used. Someone recently added new plated steel chain to the anchor, but we swapped that out for stainless steel rings. If you were the person who put the chain on there and would like it back, please contact me.

A portion of forest road damaged from storms that hit Southern California will reopen after a year of repairs.
The California Department of Transportation said Monday that a roughly 3-mile stretch of Angeles Crest Highway will open Tuesday.
The damage was caused by runoff from hillsides burned by the 2009 Station Fire that scorched 250 square miles in the San Gabriel Mountains.
In all, the department spent $16.5 million to repair 10 miles of the highway.
Officials had to delay reopening a stretch of the highway east of La Canada (kan-YAH'-duh) Flintridge because heavy December rain caused rockslides.
They expect to open the rest of the highway next month when crews finish removing loose rocks in the area.

NEW YORK (Jul. 9)
A delegation of some 200 rabbinic and lay leaders from the United States will attend the forthcoming fourth world congress of the Agudath Israel World Organization which will open in Jerusalem during the week of November 16, the Agudas Israel of America announced here today.
The organization will shortly launch a campaign to sell "selaim"–certificates–to help defray the costs of the congress and the American delegation. The world conference will review the policies of Orthodox Judaism on the vital policies of the day and will adopt a plan of action in behalf of Orthodox interests throughout the world.
