Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (236 votes).
In short: Huge improvementIn full: Fair's fair. Last year we all had a go at this race but it was fixed this year. Plenty of room, quietly marshalled, goody bag worthwhile, and a PB into the bargain.Thanks to the organisersDate of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Well organised fast race. Enjoyable!!In full: :)Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Much omproved race that now deserves to be a regular and will be for me. Second chance was well worth it.Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Enjoyable, scenic and fast race!In full: Having heard so many slanderous tales of last year's Edinburgh half marathon I was dubious about traveling all the way from Cardiff for this but I am happy to say i was most definately worth it!! The organisation was incredible- in particular the start/finish enclosure, the course was well marshalled by friendly and encouraging people and the course was really nice, not too gruelling and fast going! Water stations were plentiful and lucozade station was well placed (though, if I had to make one criticism I'd say to seperate lucozade and water to allow runners to drink energy drink then rinse down with water 100m further down course!). I would definately do this race again and encourage other runners to join the fun too! I got a PB of 1h 43- 8 mins off my last PB!!!Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: The best run I have done. Really enjoyed it.In full: I did the Liverpool Half last week and the contrast was staggering. Edinburgh ran like clockwork, set off at the stated time and was well supplied with water and energy drinks. Liverpool set off 20 minutes late, had two water stations which had enough water for about half the runners. Well done Edinburgh Forthside.Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Much, much improved from last year. Terrific race.In full: Well done to the orgainsers for listening to all comments from last year and turning this into a superb event.Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Absolutely first classIn full: My first time, but not my last. This was well organised, well signed and cheerful. Route was interesting, and spectacular scenery in some parts.Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: What a difference a year makes. Much much better. A very enjoyable raceIn full: Only a few minor gripes. Well organised. Good start and finish. Route could be improved - lots of 180 deg turns and tight turn near the finish. Was taking splits at every mile and 2 of them were less than 5:30; which I don't believe. I'm presuming the mile markers were just in the wrong place and the route was 13.1 ? A great day out and a PB to boot.Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Was this the same race as last year?...Fantastic organisation in 2007!In full: Well done to the organisaers after last year's poor debut. This was fantactically organised, went like clockwork and eveyone seemed to be smiling. Ocean Terminal is a great start/finish and I even ran a PB!Date of review: April 1, 2007
In short: Good race, good venue, much better than 2006.In full: The organisers have taken on board all the comments from last year - the organisation was very slick this year. Ocean Terminal is a good venue, easy to get to by public transport and plenty of places for coffee or lunch afterwards. The east wind along the foreshore was a bit cruel but the route is good, even scenic in places. A nice way to spend a Sunday morning.Date of review: April 1, 2007

Research Provides Better Understanding of Changes in Climate SystemPosted Dec, 2, 2010
Better understanding of the long-term history of El Niño will help enhance short-term prediction of this global climate phenomenon and help mitigate associated natural disasters
For more than a decade, Dr. Joseph Ortiz, associate professor of geology at Kent State University and part of an international team of National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded researchers, has been studying long-term climate variability associated with El Niño. The researchers' goal is to help climatologists better understand this global climate phenomenon that happens every two to eight years, impacting much of the world.
El Niño is the periodic warming of central and eastern tropical Pacific waters. The last El Niño occurred in 2009, Ortiz said, and its impact was felt in the United States with flooding in the south and wildfires in California. The research team looked at El Niño-Southern Oscillation (which is often just called "El Niño"), reconstructing sea surface temperature of the equatorial Pacific over the past 14,000 years.
"If we understand how El Niño changes over thousands of years, we can better predict climate changes on societal time-scales of years to decades," Ortiz explained. "El Niño variations lead to drought, famine, landslides, fires and other natural disasters, depending on where in the world you happen to be. Our findings can help lead to better ways to predict El Niño-Southern Oscillations, mitigating the natural disasters associated with it."
In addition to Ortiz, the research team includes the lead author on the paper, Thomas Marchitto (University of Colorado); Raimund Muscheler (Lund University in Sweden); Jose Carriquiry (Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Ensenada in Mexico); and Alexander van Geen (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University). Their findings will appear in the Dec. 3 issue of Science, the prestigious journal published by AAAS, the world's largest science society. Their paper, "Dynamical Response of the Tropical Pacific Ocean to Solar Forcing During the Early Holocene," helps to establish the linkage between changes in solar intensity and the strength of El Niño on millennial time scales. Their work was funded by the Marine Geology Subdivision of the National Science Foundation's Ocean Sciences Division.
"The climate system is very sensitive to subtle external forcing," Ortiz said. "We determined that the sun has an impact but is not the sole factor driving changes on these millennial time scales. Other studies have tried to show a solar linkage to El Niño-related climate variability, but our study indicates a convincing linkage due to the continuity of our record. This paper confirms the 'ocean dynamical thermostat' theory, showing that solar-forced changes in ocean circulation have on impact on El Niño."
Ortiz began working with the international team of scientists when he was a post-doctoral scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a research branch of Columbia University. Over the last 11 years, his contributions to the team include assisting with measurements and in the statistical analysis of the data sets. As a researcher in the Kent State geology department, Ortiz has involved Kent State graduates and undergraduates in his NSF-funded research, providing his students with real-world experience on an international level. His students have participated in research projects as close to home as here in Ohio, and as far away as the South Pacific, North Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific Northwest, and off Baja California.
"With my involvement in this project, Kent State geology students have studied core samples collected off of Baja California," Ortiz said. "The students can take what they learn in the classroom out into the field and back to the lab. I feel very fortunate to be able to provide our students with this type of experience and bring international-level research to Kent State."
Ortiz has been with Kent State since 2001. He resides in Hudson, Ohio.

I returned a few weeks ago from a three-week study abroad program to China and Japan. I had never been to either country before, and this trip was amazing for me. I am learning Mandarin, so although I still need a few more years to become fluent, I was able to get around China okay. But I don't know a lick of Japanese so I felt intimidated just to go out to lunch there, especially as there is much less English in Japan than China. Anyway, I'll spare you the details of my trip, and instead share with you my small tea adventures abroad.
Having never been to Asia (or outside of North America, really), I had no idea just how huge the tea culture is. In the States, none of my friends know the names of common teas such as tieguanyin, longjing, matcha, or sencha. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that these are household words in Asia. It made me feel a little less like the "crazy tea person" that my friends sometimes think I am. Everywhere we went in China and Japan, we found that the tea culture was slightly different. I'll go in chronological order. Although we started the trip in Hong Kong, I felt that I got the first big whiff of tea culture in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province.
Although Chengdu is a bustling, crowded metropolis, it's known for being laid-back. There are, apparently, more tea houses per capita in Chengdu than in any other Chinese city. As our school program toured Daoist and Buddhist temples, we noticed that most of them had tea houses. We sat down for some afternoon tea in one of the temples located in central Chengdu, near the Sichuan University campus. Although the temple was a silent, reverent place, full of incense smoke and monks telling us not to take pictures, the adjacent tea house was jam-packed with people. At least a couple hundred Chinese, plus us 16 Americans, had come to the tea house that afternoon. Many played cards or xiangqi (Chinese Chess). Others fanned themselves and gossiped. But everybody was drinking tea. Every patron had their own large gaiwan, from which they sipped tea "grandpa-style." A few monks wandered the tea house, dispensing hot water from enormous kettles to those who needed refills. Judging from the menu, which I couldn't actually read, bi luo chun and jasmine green tea were the preferred teas here. All the options were green teas of some kind or another. I thought I took some pictures of this tea house and the gaiwans, but I can't find them on my computer. Oh well.
Elsewhere in Chengdu, people carried tea tumblers everywhere, much in the same way as Americans carry coffee thermoses. This excited me, so I went to a supermarket and picked up this excellent tea tumbler:
This one is a double-walled, stainless-steel tumbler with a rubber grip and plastic trim. It's very solidly built and the grip is cool even after holding hot water for hours. However, I didn't see many Chinese carrying around this type of tea tumbler; they seemed to prefer glass, and I quickly figured out why: a double-walled, stainless steel vessel holds heat like nothing else. I burned my lips a little bit the first time I tried to use it, and it burned my tea too. So I picked up a double-walled glass tea tumbler as well. This one cost 10RMB, or a little bit over $1US!
Next we went to Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. Hangzhou, located on the scenic West Lake, is the home of Longjing. Our program was scheduled to go visit the National Tea Museum, located in the tea plantations outside Hangzhou. As the tour bus wound up Longjing Lu, the road leading to the tea museum, I caught glimpses of the tea plantations outside the window. However, it was raining, and I struggled to get any decent pictures.
When we got to the museum, we stopped by a tea bush to pick some leaves. Since we arrived in May, the bushes were stripped bare following the April harvests. However, we managed to find a few young leaves:
After that, we walked up to the museum entrance, only to find that it was closed! I was very let down, since this was the only chance I had to visit the museum. However, we decided not to let this day go to waste. The tea house was still open, so we went to be served tea.
I was legitimately expecting that they would serve gongfu style tea. However, none of our group save the professors and a couple of us students knew what "yixing" and "gongfu" are, so I think our server elected to "dumb down" the drinks she served us. We tasted longjing since we were in Hangzhou, and also a flowering jasmine, lychee-flavored red tea, and a ginseng-coated oolong. Though the teas were not bad, I thought they were a little uninteresting. I hoped to taste at least a TGY, Da Hong Pao, or Pu of some sort. Oh well. Off to the National Tea museum gift shop!
The tea museum was the first place in China I saw real, well-made yixing pots. They had some nice ones on display.
This one was 880RMB, or roughly $130US. Tai gui le! I'd rather order an yixing online. However, I did find this medium-sized gaiwan. Though the porcelain is thick, it fits in my hand well. It has a dragon applique which changes color when the porcelain is heated. I think I'll use it for grandpa-style drinking, like they did in Chengdu.
While I was in Hangzhou, I also picked up a little bi luo chun to try in the gaiwan. Though my mandarin is quite poor, I was pretty proud of myself for walking into a tea shop, asking for bi luo chun, and buying 50 grams. I didn't buy any more than that, since it's cheaper and easier to import from an online source than buy tea in China.
In every restaurant in China, we were served tea. Usually it tasted pretty awful, and I wouldn't have known it was tea were I served it in another country. Often it was flavored with jasmine. Rarely was restaurant tea worthwhile. But it is nonetheless amazing how much tea the Chinese consume. Because many Chinese believe, according to feng shui, that it is bad to ingest cold things, and also because the tap water is not safe due to crowded living conditions, water is almost always boiled before drinking. So why not flavor that water with a little tea? We have these philosophies to thank for shaping Chinese tea culture.
You know how many hotels have a coffee machine and bagged tea in the room? I was quite pleased to find out that our hotel in Hangzhou gave us loose-leaf longjing and keemun tea in our rooms! The tea was not bad, though not quite fresh. I stole as many bags as I could, but I consumed most of them before I got back to the states - oops. I still have one of each left.
Before moving on to Japan, I picked up these cups in Shanghai. Even though they are all mass-produced, I rather like them. This first one has a glaze with unbelievable depth and texture:
I'm pretty sure this next one is the same as the "serpent's eye" cup sold on Yunnan Sourcing. The glaze is beautiful. It sparkles and changes color when held up to the light.
I also got a celadon cup. Though it's not the best celadon, I like it. I think the six-sided style is pretty.
Finally, I picked up a pair of larger porcelain cups.
However, nowhere had I found a place that sold inexpensive clay tea pets. Many tea shops sold tea pets, but I never found any, even small ones, cheaper than 180RMB, or approximately $25. I felt this was too expensive, so just before leaving Shanghai for Osaka I stopped into a 2RMB store (you know dollar stores in the US? This was even better - a 30 cent store!) and picked up three acrylic tea friends: A dragon, to protect my tea from evil spirits (or funny tasting water), a laughing buddha, to bring good spirits, and a horse, since I am a horse by the Chinese zodiac.
Time to go to Japan!
Japan was wild for me, since I knew very little about its language or culture before visiting. I figured out a couple things pretty quickly. First, though bottled iced tea is popular in both China and Japan, it tastes very different in Japan. The Chinese prefer sweeter tea, often flavored with flowers or fruits. But the Japanese like their iced tea like they like their hot tea - roasted and often bitter. Second, I learned that things in Japan are expensive! Though Japan is not very Westernized, it is quite modernized, and the cost of food and drink is correspondingly high.
My first Japanese tea experience was in Kyoto. Our professors had scheduled us to go to witness Chanoyu - the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. However, there were sixteen of us - approximately twelve too many to fit into a traditional tea room - and Chanoyu traditionally lasts for an entire evening, so we just cut to the chase and watched our host prepare matcha for us.
The ceremony is kind of mesmerizing. There are so many rules and protocol to follow. For instance, you must turn your bowl before you drink from it so that the "front" faces the host as you drink, and you can only turn the bowl a certain direction. You must slurp - not sip - your matcha three times. The utensils are to be appreciated after everybody drinks. There are many things you must say and certain times to bow, and I knew none of them.
I had never drank matcha - or any Japanese tea for that matter - until this moment. I liked it very much, but not enough to persuade me to buy a matcha beginner's kit including a chawan, whisk, scoop, and matcha, though the offer was tempting. Instead, I wandered around an arcade in Kyoto and picked up this kyusu and cup.
The kyusu, I feel, makes a good first piece of Japanese teaware. Though it is clearly slip-cast, it is well-made. The lid fits tightly. The handle and topknot do not get hot. Furthermore, the famous Japanese zen/tea phrase ichigo ichie is carved into the side. Also, it was only 1100 yen, or less than $15. I've been using it a ton to brew sencha and I really enjoy it.
I liked the glaze on this cup, so I got it too.
I also picked up some fresh but relatively inexpensive sencha, since I have never had sencha before. I have been ploughing through this bag! It is delicious. Of all the Japanese teas I tried in Japan, sencha, to me, tastes the most like Chinese teas.
Like in China, most restaurants in Japan also served tea. Though the restaurant tea in China was often so diluted that it could barely be called tea, Japanese restaurant tea was usually pretty strong. Almost always it was roasted tea. I had never had roasted green tea, so I didn't recognize the drink as tea at first. But it slowly grew on me.
Also, like in China, every room came with a little bit of tea. Usually it was generic bagged tea. However, what was a little unusual was that the hotels supplied teacups in addition to coffee cups. All the teacups were a little different. This one was in Hiroshima:
We also visited Kurashiki, home of bizen-yaki. I did not know that Kurashiki was famous for its wonderful pottery. But by the time we arrived in Kurashiki, I was nearly out of money, caught unaware by high food prices in Japan, and unprepared to see the most beautiful teaware yet. Bizen-yaki practically littered the streets in Kurashiki, and I regret that I did not save the money to buy at least one cup. These cups, bowls, and kyusu are nearly worth a visit to Japan by themselves.
So ends my tea adventure in China and Japan. It was absolutely amazing. The study abroad program was pretty excellent too, and I was glad that they scheduled a couple structured tea adventures in each country for us students. Inspired by my trip, I picked up a little light reading from the library:
I don't think the book about Rikyu is quite as good as Okakura's famous Book of Tea, but I've been enjoying it.
And now it is tea time. Thanks for reading

On August 30, 2011, President Barack Obama issued a statement on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. President Obama said:
"Michelle and I would like to send Eid greetings to Muslim communities in the United States and around the world. Ramadan has been a time for families and communities to share the happiness of coming together in intense devotion, reflection, and service. Millions all over the world have been inspired to honor their faith by reaching out to those less fortunate. This year, many have observed the month while courageously persevering in their efforts to secure basic necessities and fundamental freedoms. The United States will continue to stand with them and for the dignity and rights of all people, whether a hungry child in the Horn of Africa or a young person demanding freedom in the Middle East and North Africa.

The Fabulous 4 (Minutes) - Page 2
He eventually hit the jackpot with an unorthodox program, in which participants performed speed skating interval training for 20 seconds at a time alternated with 10-second rest intervals for eight sets—a total of four minutes of training. He compared the results with a more common training regimen of 60 minutes of traditional steady state endurance training.
Participants who used Tabata's interval technique for six weeks improved their maximum aerobic capacity by 14 percent, compared to 10 percent for the participants training for an extra 56 minutes.
The real gem was that this training also improved anaerobic capacity simultaneously by 28 percent, while the 60-minute group experienced no increase at all!
What does all this mean in English? Tabata training can improve the results of your cardio training by almost 50 percent according to Tabata's study.
If that isn't enough, the kicker is that during those short four minutes, you can actually build muscle at the same time—despite burning calories.
The method is so effective that Alex Koch, Ph.D., an assistant professor of exercise science at Missouri's Truman State University, says, "The `Tabata protocol'—which sounds like it could be a tantric sex act or a secret martial art—deserves its reputation."
The Quick and Dirty
Tabata training is downright simple. As previously mentioned, you perform eight 20-second interval sets, with 10 seconds of rest in between each set.
What's an interval? It a short burst of intense activity, in our case, a sprint. Warm up for five to 10 minutes at an easy pace. Then, hold on tight, because the next four minutes will be brutal.
Take off in a full-blown sprint, like someone is chasing you, for 20 seconds. Then rest for 10 seconds, then sprint again for 20 seconds. Do eight sets. Perform the routine over relatively flat terrain, or even a treadmill, because the key is speed.
The Rest of the Story
Start by doing a weekly Tabata session, and see how quickly you improve. If you're really hard core, you can even do a Tabata session after your regular run.

I think it's Great! We take religious Mythology WAY too seriously in the US of A. True Spirituality comes from the INSIDE. Religious institutions (specifically the 3 Yahweh cults and their mythologies) are brainwashing mechanisms of social control, nothing more. So what's the harm?
'God' by whatever name is everywhere, is everything, including our jokes. Therefore 'God' has a sense of humor.

Reduction Tips for:
Programs & Services
You Can Make A Difference!
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), between 1960 and 2006, the amount of waste each person creates has almost doubled from 2.7 to 4.4 pounds per day. Increases in solid waste generation are the result of our individual consumption habits, coupled with a growing population. Trash isn't cheap! The volume of waste generated and the frequency of waste services that are required for disposal is a constant cost burden, for private citizens and government alike. In addition, limits on available land and the environmental effects of landfills continue to be a concern, especially in high population areas like southern California. Live by the mantra "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" and green your business today! Check out our tips for reducing your waste generation, and our programs that can help!

Hazardous Waste Disposal Programs
Safe disposal of solid waste protects human health and the environment. Hazardous waste, such as electronics, batteries and tires, can be especially dangerous to drinking water. Through the collective guidance of the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB), Orange protects the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens and the environment by following proper water quality and waste management practices pursuant to Title 14 and Title 27, as mandated by the Safe Water and Toxic Waste Enforcement Act of 1986.
One of the City's primary goals is to provide a safe environment for our citizens. When it comes to waste management, Orange wants to insure that you have all of the support, tools and knowledge you require to be safe and to be green.
Did you know? It is illegal to dispose of "Sharps" – Needles, syringes and lancets. For the public health and safety, it is no longer legal to dispose of these devices in your solid waste or recycle containers. For your convenience, sharps disposal-by-mail kits are available at Walgreens and some Rite Aid drugstores. Larger kits are also available from CR&R Incorporated at (877) 728-0446. Additional information is also available from the Coalition for Safe Community Needle Disposal.
Did you know? It is illegal to trash hazardous waste! Unfortunately, many people do not know what is hazardous in their home. For your assistance, Orange provides the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program, funded by California Integrated Waste Management Board and Orange County Waste Management. The program offers easy free curbside pick-up for all forms of household hazardous waste, including:

Cultural Literacy in Mental Health: An Indigenous Perspective
Join us Friday, March 8 when renowned Native American psychologist Dr. Leslie Gray presents two insightful and transformational workshops.
Morning lecture
Cultural Literacy in Mental Health: An Indigenous Perspective
10 am - 12 noon in Health & Wellness Building 5, Room 202
The current economic crisis exists in casual circularity with a personal and a national "dispiritedness" in America. The country's political stand-off weighs on our daily lives like a slab of concrete. This weight is felt keenly, for example, by returning veterans, LGBTQ persons, at-risk young adults and other marginalized or isolated people, all of whom must push against it if they hope to create an America in which they feel economically safe, socially supported and psychologically healthy.
Afternoon seminar
Ancient Solutions for Modern Dilemmas
2-4 pm in Theatre Building 3
In this experiential seminar we will engage in simple practices of renewal that are perennial. The aim will be restoration and replenishment for those who work in any aspect of our current educational system. You are invited, prior to the seminar, to reflect on or daydream about that which depletes you, or seems to present insurmountable obstacles, in your work; and then to crystallize your musings into a question which you will ask a circle of stones. Science and spirituality converge when we encounter rocks, for they are quite literally our ancestors and as such can be called upon when we need to remember who we are, where we come from and the source of our personal power.

Hidden Genetic Links to Breast Cancer
For a long time, doctors have known that breast cancer runs in families. This information serves as motivation for thousands of women to schedule regular mammograms, especially if they are aware that breast cancer runs in their family. But is it possible for this heightened risk to be passed down from one generation to the next without anyone in the family knowing it? According to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it is.
Dr. Jeffrey Weitzel, a professor of oncology and population science at City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. and the man behind the study, says genetic links to breast cancer may be hidden in some families. "Because some families are so small and with so few female relatives," one article reads, "patients sometimes suspect their breast cancer is sporadic, occurring with no apparent familial link." In other words, a woman with breast cancer who has very few aunts and older sisters may think the disease came from out of nowhere, but doctors now believe the risk may be hidden on the father's side.
There are two genes passed down from generation to generation which present an increased risk for breast cancer if either of the two are mutated. These genes, called BRCA1 and BRCA2, are described as tumor suppressor genes. When mutations alter or inactivate the function of these genes, cancer is more likely to develop.
Half of genetic breast cancers are inherited from a woman's father, not her mother. In fact, researchers suggest they can be transmitted from grandfather to father to daughter just as easily as they can be passed on from grandmother to mother to daughter. But unless a woman's father has female relatives with breast cancer, the defective gene may be passed down silently, without causing cancer.
Dr. Weitzel says many people reject the idea that the father can be the contributor. But according to his study, fathers are just as important as mothers when it comes to determining risk. "A patient can be blinded as to what's happening on the paternal side," he says. "If a man has no sisters and his daughter develops breast cancer, not only is the cancer risk hidden, but the patient also misses a key opportunity for genetic screening."
Genetic screening is important for those with a family history of breast cancer because it can give doctors vital information about their patients' risks and implications for future generations. One major problem, according to Dr. Weitzel, is that doctors often overlook the genetic risk from the father's side of the family.
In addition to raising awareness about the possibility of hidden genetic links to breast cancer, the study also provides evidence to support the idea that genetic testing should be covered by insurance companies. Current insurance guidelines dictate reimbursement for genetic screening based on obvious patterns of inheritance. This kind of testing can cost up to $3,000.
Dr. Noah Kauff, a cancer geneticist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, supports Dr. Weitzel's stance on the current insurance guidelines. In an editorial, he wrote that the study "allows physicians and patients to make an argument to insurance carriers that, although there's not a family history of breast cancer, it's still reasonable to test and it should be a covered benefit."
Genetic testing can help a woman with breast cancer decide what to do next. A woman who has a BRCA gene mutation has a four times greater risk of developing breast cancer and a 10 times greater risk of ovarian cancer than does a woman with breast cancer who has no BRCA gene mutation. Some women with a family history of breast cancer choose to undergo genetic testing so they can decide whether to reduce their cancer risk by removing their ovaries and breasts before any cancer appears.
Testing the genes of more women would cost more money, of course, but Dr. Weitzel says it wouldn't significantly increase overall healthcare costs and it would prevent cancer in numerous cases. He hopes the study's findings will put pressure on insurance companies to change the guidelines to determine coverage for genetic testing.

Wirral songwriter completes George Harrison Beatles song 40 years on
Nov 2 2009
By Jade Wright
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpoo ... -25067387/
IT'S not every day you find yourself writing a song with a former Beatle.
But Wirral singer/songwriter Dean Johnson found himself doing just that when he was asked to complete a fragment of a song originally written by George Harrison at the height of Beatlemania.
The original 10 lines were given to biographer Hunter Davies by George for inclusion in his Beatles biography published in the late 1960s, but were put aside and forgotten until recently.
They were picked up by BBC Radio Merseyside's Spencer Leigh, who suggested that maybe a contemporary songwriter could make the fragment into a song. He approached Dean.
"Spencer called me out of the blue and left a message saying he had an interesting proposition for me," explained Dean, from Oxton.
"I called him back and when he said he would like me to work on George's unfinished song I found it unbelievable, tremendously exciting and above all a complete honour.
"My brief was to follow George's sentiment through to its conclusion. The words were both brutally honest and compassionate and Harrison was obviously writing from the heart.
"I just tried by my best ability to get into the mind of someone in George's position and I am so pleased that most people who have heard it, think I achieved a credible continuity with the original lyrics."
The original fragment was written by George when Hunter had asked each Beatle to submit a sample of their handwriting. It was then discarded as scrap paper from the floor of Abbey Road studio, where it is almost certain that it would have been thrown out by the cleaners if he had not picked it up.
When re-examining these papers he came upon the remarkable discovery.
The lyrics are of a personal nature and were first thought to be a song of unrequited love but in hindsight they seem to allude to George's uneasy relationship with John Lennon.
On the reverse side of the lyric are instructions on how to reach Beatles manager Brian Epstein's country house in Sussex, written in Epstein's hand.
It is now in the British Library's Beatles collection, along with more material loaned by Hunter – who plans to donate everything to the library after his death.
The collection ranges from a fan club membership card to the lyrics of A Hard Day's Night, written by John Lennon on the back of a birthday card to his son Julian.
Hunter's biography, entitled The Beatles, is republished this month, containing the lost lines with the blessing of George's estate.
The finished song, entitled "Silence (is its own reply)", was performed live during an interview with Hunter Davies on Spencer Leigh's On The Beat programme.
Silence (is its own reply)
I'm happy to say that it's only a dream
When I come across people like you,
It's only a dream and you make it obscene
With the things that you think and you do.
You're so unaware of the pain that I bear
And jealous for what you can't do.
There's times when I feel that you haven't a hope
But I also know that isn't true.
Every time I ask you why
Silence is its own reply
It's so hard to prove what I can do
Compared to someone like you
You make it look easy but you still tease me
When you have got nothing better to do
When the tears are falling and its dawning
The truth will ring out so clear
That no-one's above you and nobody can love you
Until all that pain disappears
Every time I ask you why
Silence is its own reply
By the time we have talked it over
It's time to say goodbye

With Iran's Islamic government stirring up trouble in the Middle East, Berookhim is among the growing number of local Iranian Jews who are finally beginning to speak out about the horrors they faced in Iran, part of an effort to give Americans a better idea of the enormous threat Iran poses to world peace.
Now in his late 50's, Berookhim nostalgically recalled the prosperity and tranquility Jews living in Iran experienced prior to the revolution. His own family was among the many Jewish families who enjoyed that prosperity.
"We owned two hotels: Hotel Sina and Hotel Royal Gardens, which was a five-star hotel, with 500 rooms, five restaurants and different foreign visitors staying there," said Berookhim. "I remember U.S. diplomats having their July 4th parties in our hotel."
But the good times were short-lived as anti-Shah and anti-Western protests in 1978-9 flooded the streets of Tehran. When the Shah fled, chaos erupted in the streets, and angry Revolutionary Guards did not spare the Hotel Royal Gardens. The hotel was a symbol of the West, and as a result its windows were smashed, its curtains set ablaze, and one of its co-owners, Berookhim's uncle Ebrahim, was arrested by the regime's armed thugs.
"They blindfolded my uncle Ebi and took him to prison," Berookhim said. "I was told by someone working in the hotel not to come there because the men who took Ebi were also looking for me."
Iran's new government -- headed by the Ayatollah Khomeini -- froze the Berookhim family's accounts, confiscated their assets and prevented them from doing business in the country. Like many Jews living in Iran at the time, members of Berookhim's family fled the country, but Abe Berookhim remained behind to gather some funds, even though he was on the regime's "most-wanted list."
Prior to the U.S. Embassy takeover, Berookhim, who had had close ties with the embassy's employees, helped them sell the equipment in their facility amidst the chaos in Iran to provide them with cash while they were in hiding.
"One day I received an urgent phone call from the Consul General of the U.S. in northern Tehran telling me he and his people were hiding and needed food delivered to them," said Berookhim. "So I had one of my employees from the hotel take them food."
The danger and threats intensified with each passing day that Berookhim remained in Iran as Revolutionary Guard members were hot on his trail.
Berookhim said that when armed thugs came to arrest him, he would bribe and then befriend them. When one notorious armed leader named Mashala Ghasab was looking to kill him, Berookhim's payment turned the thug into his personal bodyguard for the remainder of his days in Iran. Ghasab, who was also a well-known brutal killer for the regime, later helped Berookhim locate the Islamic judge determining the fate of his uncle Ebrahim.
"With tears streaming down my face I told him [the judge] about my uncle's innocence," said Berookhim, "but he rejected my pleas."
After gathering enough money and successfully evading the authorities, Berookhim -- disguised with a fake beard and Islamic garb and carrying false papers -- boarded a flight for Germany. The flight's pilot, a longtime friend, helped carry Berookhim's U.S. currency onboard the plane prior to takeoff without being detected.
While Berookhim and his family were able to escape from Iran's Islamic regime, Berookhim's uncle Ebrahim was not so fortunate. The Revolutionary Guard executed the young man in prison on July 30, 1980. Tragically, Ebrahim's 82-year-old father -- who had been arrested along with him -- was released prior to Ebrahim's execution.
"They did not have any answer for killing him and said it was a mistake -- it was a mistake that my family and I have been haunted by ever since," said Berookhim.
My father, along with two other members of the local Jewish community, risked their lives by going to the prison morgue to retrieve Cousin Ebrahim's body in order to give him a kosher burial. The regime's prison officials refused to release the body until a substantial payment was made to "cover the costs for the bullet used in the execution."
My father paid and was given Ebrahim's bloody body and found it had been desecrated with markers. Eventually, Ebrahim was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Tehran.
The young Jewish man had been murdered for no reason, and the ordeal of retrieving his body traumatized my parents and extended family. It was what finally prompted them to realize Iran was no longer a safe place for Jews and that we had to leave the country where our ancestors had set down their roots more than 2,500 years ago.
A few months after Ebrahim's execution, our family left behind everything we owned in Iran to come to America. We arrived with only the shirts on our backs to start our lives again from zero in a new country where we knew no one and had difficulty speaking the language.
Today, many Iranian Jews residing in Los Angeles argue about the reason for Ebrahim's execution. Some believe he was executed to strike fear in the hearts of Jews in Iran and to force them to leave their substantial assets behind for the government to confiscate.
Others believe the execution was an act of revenge by Iran for Israel's declaring Jerusalem as its undivided and eternal capital during that time.Indeed, Ebrahim Berookhim was not the last Jew to be executed by Iran's fundamentalist regime. According to a 2004 report prepared by Frank Nikbakht, an Iranian Jewish activist in Los Angeles, at least 14 Jews were murdered or assassinated by the regime's agents, at least two Jews died in custody and 11 Jews have been officially executed by the regime, all since 1979.
In 2000, with the assistance of various American Jewish groups, Southern California's Iranian Jewish community successfully publicized the case of 13 Iranian Jews from the city of Shiraz who were facing execution on fabricated charges of spying for Israel. Ultimately the international exposure put pressure on the Iranian regime, prevented the execution of the "Shiraz 13" and they were eventually released.
Estimates vary, but it is believed that between 10,000 and 20,000 Jews are still residing in Iran. Nikbakht said a substantial number of Jews have remained in Iran because they feel they will face economic and cultural challenges if they leave the country.
"Some successful and capable Jews (in Iran) have either a false sense of security or are willing to take risks, hoping to outlast the regime," said Nikbakht. "Some have converted to Islam or other 'safer' religions such as Christianity to help them survive."
For his part, Abe Berookhim said he plans to continue to speak out publicly about his family's experience in hopes that average Americans will understand the extent of the threat posed by Iran's current fundamentalist Islamic government.
"The reality is that radical Islam -- in order to rule -- must destroy our culture, and we need to understand this in the West in order to avoid facing the detrimental consequences," Berookhim said.

This is a product that especially kids will love! And of course some adults too. The foam isn't plenty but the scent is, and the latter is nice and sweet. If you need a more refined/adult experience I would recommend Aura Cacia's Relaxing Lavender.

Ambassador Cameron Munter inaugurated a new U.S.-funded mango processing line at Lutfabad Farm while visiting Multan on July 24, 2011. As a result of U.S-provided infrastructure upgrades, 13 farms in Southern Punjab will be able to export delicious Pakistani mangos to foreign markets.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Munter said, "Just one year ago, Secretary Clinton pledged U.S. support to developing the export capacities of mango farmers. What we are seeing here today are tangible results of this pledge."
The mango project is designed to support economic growth, fuel job creation, and improve living standards. The U.S. partnership with mango producers is expected to yield a 30 million dollar increase in mango export revenue in the next two years, three million dollars of new investment, and 6,000 new jobs in Punjab and Sindh.
Development assistance is one component of the comprehensive, long-term relationship between the United States and the Pakistani people. During his two-day visit to Multan, Ambassador Munter will also meet with Punjabi business and political leaders as well as alumni from U.S.-sponsored exchange programs.

The Creators Project: Can you explain what ART+COM is all about?
Jaochim Sauter: We're trying to transpose content through the new media--for example, by using installations, interactive spaces, or interactive architecture. We're an interdisciplinary group of people like designers and architects, and we're all somehow associated to Berlin's Art School UDK or Chaos Computer Club.
Did you have anything special in mind as to where you want to go with this when you first started? We felt something was about to happen. In the late 80s it wasn't totally unpredictable anymore that something like the internet would happen, and that the interaction would become more significant. We grew up together with the new media.
In your eyes, how did these new means of communication change the world?
They made everything smaller. We're all closer now, but that also means there's less depth in our communication. I'm completely against Facebook, but friends of mine have like 500 friends on Facebook. There's been a lot of change and there will be more change soon–for the better. There will be a longing for depth.
What's next in communication?
It's the post-virtual communication. It's clear we want to go back into real spaces--we want to experience things together with others.
How is ART+COM approaching these issues?
We try to hide technology, rather than making it visible, like in the past. We hide it in items of everyday use. In the natural history museum we have a telescope you can aim at one of the dinosaurs and then you see it come to life when you look through it. We've integrated media communication into this space.
So integration is the key to the future?
People don't want to see technology anymore. Our world is so rich in objects that can carry information, you don't need monitors to do it. That's my vision of the future for the new media--getting away from projections and monitors. For example, we just created this installation in the BMW museum that shows the design process of a car utilizing balls that float in the room. You can communicate through objects rather than TV screens or monitors. We want the objects to tell the stories, not computers.
Did the development of the new media influence the world of design?
The computer was quickly recognized as not only a tool to improve publishing and designing, but as an independent medium of its own. When the visual internet came out in 1993, we knew were facing a new medium that was up there with print, TV, and broadcast.
What opportunities do new media offer?
It's mostly about the interactive quality of communication. Movies run from start to end, you read a book from the first to the last page, and now all of a sudden there's a dialogue. Another aspect is that everything's connected now. The third is the multimedia aspect–all of a sudden we're able to combine different traditional media in one. We can use film, text, stills, and graphics all in one medium. That's it in a nutshell.
Where is this all taking us? Printing changed a lot in our society and so did radio and TV–the internet will change a lot, too, but after the hype it will eventually level out and find its place within the classic media. I think this medium has grown up since its birth in the mid-80s.
You've been working in this environment for more than 20 years now. Did you ever imagine this current landscape?
When I look back today, of course I could have never predicted what happened. Such a radical change of paradigms in communication and design is something I could have never imagined at school. The coolest machine was the copy machine back then. Print is 600 years old, radio is 150, TV is 80, and the new media is 20. I don't think we'll experience another radical change like this in media within the next 20 years.

Top 5 Apps For the Flu Season
NEW YORK ( TheStreet It's flu season right now. And this year, it's an "epidemic."
You may have already gotten a flu shot, but it can take up to fourteen days to become effective. At the rate the flu is spreading, you might not have two weeks to spare.
So take your vitamins, wash your hands and...turn on your smartphone. Yep, there are apps for that, too.
TheStreet took a look at the flu apps available on Apple's (AAPL) App Store and Google (GOOG) Play, and these are your best resources for keeping the flu away from you. Or near you, if you're looking to fit in. Cough cough.
Even the CDC has an app these days. Download it and you'll remain disease free. Well, maybe.
Keep an eye on the flu with the "influenza activity and surveillance" section.
Worried about the shot? The vaccination tab explains everything in a pinch.
And do your research before taking any pills. The "antiviral drugs" tab will give you the 411.
The free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but requires iOS 4.0 or later.
If you haven't gotten a vaccine yet...well, what are you waiting for?
Have no fear, Flu Near You will tell you where to go. The app uses your location to identify clinics with flu shots near you.
The Flu Map section will give you an indication of flu activity in your area. New York's not looking too hot right now.
You can also report flu symptoms via the app...so, be a statistic.
The free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but requires iOS 5.0 or later. It's available on Android as well.
Not sure if you have the flu? WebMD's (WBMD) "symptom checker " will help you figure out what's wrong with you. Tap the mannequin to highlight the body parts that are troubling you the most.
After reading about all the worst case scenarios, you'll probably be tempted to call a doctor. (Chances are you're not dying).
Fortunately, the app can help you with that, too. Use location-tracking to find a local physician or hospital.
You can also keep track of your medications with a free registration to a WebMD account.
The free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but requires iOS 3.0 or later. It's also available on Android.
Being sick is the perfect excuse for being lazy. There's no need to get out of bed. Better yet, don't even sit up.
Fortunately, laziness just got easier. TaskRabbit will get you out of doing any task.
From shopping to food delivery to "virtual tasks," post a chore and find a local "rabbit" to do it for you (for a fee).

We should all hope to have camping equipment that requires regular TLC. It means we're hiking a lot, because even the very best gear gets worn–even broken–with hard use. To make your stuff go the extra mile, tear out our illustrated guide to the 55 most common repairs and maintenance musts. You'll get expert advice for preventive care, proper storage, and lots of inexpensive fixes. We guarantee you'll save money and upgrade well-loved gear–and you'll never have to abort a trip due to a balky stove or leaky tent.
Stuck zipper
Accumulated dirt and grime causes zippers to snag. In the field, brush them off before pulling the slider. At home, clean the teeth with water and a toothbrush, or a vacuum cleaner. Don't apply any lubricant to zippers–it will only attract more grit. Occasionally the looped wires form the zipper tracks will bend or separate under duress. Bob Upton, owner of Rainy Pass Repair, says you can simply straighten the damaged coils with a knife or needle.
No More Mold
"Have you ever pulled a tent out of the stuff sack and it smells like vomit?" asks MSR product manager Terry Breaux. "That's the smell of moisture breaking down the waterproof coating." Even a few drops of condensation can cause mildew to grow, so never store a wet tent. After a rainy or humid night, drape the fly over a tree and turn the tent on its side to let the sun dry the bottom. At home, hang the tent on a clothesline or shower rod. Once it's dry, store it loosely in a cotton pillowcase or mesh storage sack.
Eliminate mildew (Online Bonus)
Kill black-spotted mildew with this cleaning regimen, which will remove the mold, though not the stain.
- Mix one cup of Lysol household cleaner into one gallon of hot water (1:16 solution). Pitch the tent and clean it inside and out. Do not rinse–let it dry.
- Cleanse the fabric by mixing one-cup table salt and one-cup lemon juice (concentrate is okay) into one gallon of hot water. Scrub the tent inside and out with this solution, then rinse the entire tent with a garden hose.
Remove pine sap
Scrub off sticky stuff with a sponge soaked in mineral oil, then rinse the spot thoroughly with hot water to remove the residue.
Restoring the floor (Online Bonus)
Just as seam tape will eventually crack and peel, so will the waterproof coating on your tent floor. You can restore the floor and get a few more seasons' use out of it by using a pot scrubber to rub off as many loose flakes as possible. Then sponge off the floor so it is completely clean and allow it to dry. Using a foam brush apply McNett Tent Sure or some other DWR product that is designed specifically for restoring tent floor waterproof coatings (available at most outdoor stores).
Maintain a waterproof barrier
Invest in a footprint designed for your tent, or build your own using Tyvek or painter's plastic. Even a thin barrier will extend the life of the tent floor and prevent ground soaking during heavy rain, says NOLS gear manager Kevin McGowan, who has been in charge of issuing and repairing NOLS trip equipment for more than two decades. In addition, keep DEET-based bug dope away from the tent fabric. Exposure to that solvent will eat away at the nylon's waterproof coating.
Fact or Myth?
Q: Rolling is better than stuffing.
A: Fact! "Stuffing is bad practice," insists Mountain Hardwear product manager Chris Hilliard "Repeatedly cramming a tent into a stuffsack creates a lot of small radius bends in the fabric. These small edges end up being subjected to far more abrasion and moisture than the coating would be if the tent were folded." The traditional argument against folding has been that permanent creases weakened the fabric, but Hilliard says this is preposterous. "It would be impossible to fold the tent in the exact same place every single time," he claims. MSR's Terry Breaux, a 20-year veteran of tent design and repair, agrees with Hilliard that rolling is the best option, because it eliminates micro-creases and segregates the dirty floor from the rest of the tent. Now make like the entire BACKPACKER staff and scurry to your gear closet to re-pack your tent.

Frances Russo
NEWARK, N.Y. – Frances Russo, 84, of Newark, N.Y., passed away on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at the Newark-Wayne Community Hospital.
Frances was the oldest of seven children, born Aug. 28, 1928, to Angelo and Rose (Cassetta) Russo. In her early years she loved to sing and play with her younger siblings. At age 21 she went to live permanently at the New York State run Fingerlakes Developmental Disabilities Service Institution.
She attended school and day programs and in her later years enjoyed listening to country music, attending concerts and church, shopping for hats and eating at McDonalds.
Frannie had a special relationship with staff and residents of her group home at 108 Cobblestone Terrace in Newark.
Her very special staff friend, Linda, spent a lot of time with her on special outings which included going to visit family. Frannie's sister, Dorothy appreciates Linda's loving attention. As Frances aged, her health failed and she had to move to 101 Cobblestone Terrace for the last two years of her life.
Frances is survived by her brother, Stephen Russo of Ashburn, Va.; four sisters, Mary Steuer of San Antonio, Texas, Dorothy Kollmann of Escanaba, and Lucille and Theresa Russo, both of Rochester, N.Y.; nieces and nephews, Judy Trudell, Jackie Doll, Julie Eggebrecht, David Latimer, Daniel Lamberg, Karen Marcil, Mary Jo Sylva-Quezada, Terry Stahl and William Steuer.
She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Salvatore Russo; a sister, Susan Russo; a nephew, John Lamberg; and three brothers-in-law, Joseph Steuer, John Lamberg and Lowell Kollmann.
Graveside services will take place in the spring and will be announced at a later date.
The family is being assisted by the Skradski Family Funeral Home of Escanaba. For additional information or to leave the family a message of condolence, go to www.skradskifuneralhomes.com.
