Cal South Captures Two Titles at the 2012 US Youth Soccer ODP Championships
1996 Girls Champion - Cal South
March 11, 2012 (FRISCO, Texas) - The 2012 US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (US Youth Soccer ODP) champions were crowned today at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.
State-level US Youth Soccer ODP 1996 and 1995 Boys and Girls teams earned their way to the 2012 US Youth Soccer ODP Championships by winning their US Youth Soccer ODP Regional Championships. These teams represent the best in the country from their age group and region.
"To improve at any level you need to play against the best and coming here to play competition like this is playing the best," said Steve Lyons, head coach of Florida 96 Boys.
Brief recaps from the championship final and consolation matches are below:
1996 Girls
The 1996 Girls final pitted Cal South against Virginia. After offensive strikes and defensive stops at both ends of the field, Cal South's Pilar Torres broke the stalemate with a decisive goal in the 75th minute. Torres found the ball in the middle of the 6-yard-box off a corner kick and punched it home for the game winner.
A hat trick by Jessie Scarpa led Florida to a 5-1 victory over Michigan for third place. Melanie Monteagudo and Deborah Hahn added goals for Florida, while Zoe Morse notched the lone Michigan goal.
1996 Boys
The 1996 boys from Florida followed up a 3-0 victory in the semis with a 3-0 win over Michigan in the championship game. The scoring opened in the 24th minute when Johnny Nartowicz won the ball in the midfield then started a string of passes that resulted in a goal by Morgan Shepard. Second half goals by Samuel Vinson and Mario Da Silva secured the title for Florida, the first ever ODP championship for the state.
Cal South claimed third place with a 3-0 victory over Virginia Sunday thanks to a pair of goals by Marcos Bueno and one by Rey Ortiz.
1995 Girls
In a rematch of last year's final, Cal South 95 Girls avenged its 2011 championship day loss to New Jersey by earning a 2-0 victory Sunday. A pair of goals by Kayla Mills (recently awarded Player of the Year honors at the 2012 Cal South Awards Banquet - story here), one during the run of play and one from the penalty spot, made the difference and claimed a girl's title sweep on the day for Cal South.
Ohio South beat Georgia 4-1 in the match for third place. Kaitlynn Kiehl netted a pair of goals to lead Ohio South, with Katie Murray and Alexis Kiehl also scoring. Kayla Puzas scored the lone Georgia goal just before the final whistle.
1995 Boys
Michigan ended Virginia's quest to repeat as ODP champions with a 1-0 win in the 95 boys final. In the 52nd minute, Michigan's Dalton Amez collected the ball about 25 yards from goal, created space for a shot and blasted the game winner into the top of the net. With Virginia committing numbers forward to try and get an equalizer, Michigan kept a clean sheet on its way to the title.
Three goals by three different players secured third place for Cal South, who beat Tennessee 3-1. Jose Nuno, Joshua Goodman and Ricardo Ruiz found the net, while Tyler Long tallied the Tennessee goal.

Normal command from Insert mode
Always forget the very useful shortcut which is apparently intended for "Vim Easy":
When in insert mode (and, by definition, in easy vim you are always in the mode) to insert command from Normal mode, you press first ^O and then start typing the command.
e.g. to delete to the end of line press
^O followed by
Shift-d. Pressing
: you can also access all the ex commands too - but that will leave insert mode.

2013-02-07 • Stewart Gist OH FPOC
Start: 12:01:37
Daviss: Good afternoon vicjorob!
karoshi8: Good afternoon everyone!
Daviss: hello there karoshi8
vicjorob: Afternoon everyone
Daviss: How's everyone doing?
karoshi8: Good and you Daviss?
Daviss: doing good for a change
vicjorob: @Daviss - remember last week when I said I may be related to the daughter in law of my best genealogy buddy?
Daviss: yes well did it all come to light?
vicjorob: @Daviss - well I was so busy trying to connect my Stewarts with hers, I didn't realize that the Stewart was along her paternal line. Our DNA connection is via mitochondrial DNA, which would be my Hughes. But it gets better. She is a descendent of Madison Hemings via matrilineal descent and turns out that Madison's wife was a Hughes!
Daviss: whoa!!!
karoshi8: Where are you're Stewarts from vicjorob? Gallia County?
vicjorob: And my Hughes was a slave of George Washington's cousins so now I am working on a game plan for how to approach connecting the dots.
Daviss: how did you figure that out vicjorob
vicjorob: karoshi8 - YES!!!!
karoshi8: Lol! My last name is Stewart. I see those Stewart's a lot though. Mine come out of Kentucky then up to Ohio. So I don't think those connect to mine. But I know what line you are talking about.
vicjorob: @Daviss - THe DNA match has her tree on Ancestry. As to the GW side, that goes back to researching the woman who owned my 3g grandmother. That woman was married at Mount Vernon and called by GW as his little red-haired pet.
karoshi8: But since it's Gallia, I'm sure we're related through someone. lol
Daviss: thats wonderful news vicjorob!
karoshi8: Good afternoon alt!
alt: Hello folks... Daviss, karoshi8 & vicjorob
Daviss: hello alt!
vicjorob: @karoshi8 - Really. Tell me more. I have the name of my 2g grandmother Susan Stewart who married Washington Goss and then likely James Mason. Her son was Bernard Goss. Hi alt! If Susan was the one who married James Mason, then her father's name is Alexander Stewart and her mother was a Liggens.
karoshi8: Liggens is a native american name.
vicjorob: @karoshi8 - where in Ohio did your Stewarts go?
karoshi8: If I remember right Alexander Stewart was a conductor on the underground railroad.
vicjorob: @karoshi8 - my! You are a fountain of knowledge!
alt: karoshi8, on your Winburn's .. do you know a Debra Smith McIntosh?
Daviss: divine coming in to chat at the same time lol
karoshi8: My Stewart's went from Lincoln KY to Ross county, KY. I have a strong feeling that they are native american too. But I can't find any proof. Though they did intermarry with other native americans in KY. No alt, I don't. Should I?
alt: she has some Winburn genealogy on her Tribal Pages website.al
vicjorob: @karoshi8 - sounds like your folks might be Eastern Band Cherokee
karoshi8: Right now I'm trying to connect everyone to a tribe of some sort. Because the people move in groups with the same people and it has to be more of a connection. I know some are from the Saponi tribe, but it seems deeper than that.
alt: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=debramcintosh1&view=9&ver=37085 and check out "W" for Winburn, might be some connections there for you.
karoshi8: alt, my thing won't let me click it do you know if I can look it up another way?
vicjorob: @alt - I really need to populate my Tribal Pages
alt: google debra smith mcintosh & her TP website should come up karoshi8
karoshi8: Thanks! alt, I had a question. What does being taxable mean?
alt: vicjorob, the TP sites are becoming 'popular' & yes keep your site updated as much as possible.... I'm getting many hits & questions.
karoshi8: Oh yes alt, I did contact her. Her Winburns are the Indiana ones.
HistoryBuff: Hey everyone!
karoshi8: Good afternoon HistoryBuff!
vicjorob: alt - did you upload your data via gedcom or another format?
alt: okay karoshi8
vicjorob: @karoshi8 - what type and year of document?
Daviss: Do you have any Ware's or Tolberts in your KY/Indiana line karoshi8?
alt: vicjorob .. I uploaded a GEDCOM of my entire database for the genie 'stuff' and then added photos in albums and added stories.
karoshi8: Not that I know of Daviss. Let me check though.
vicjorob: @Daviss - Tolberts? I sorta kinda have an Eli Tolbert who was freed in 1845 from Loudoun County and then settled in Floyd County IN
Daviss: Tolbert may also be Tolliver
vicjorob: alt - thanks.
karoshi8: Not that I see Daviss.
vicjorob: karoshi8 - where can I find info about the UGRR Alexander Stewart?
Daviss: ok thanks
alt: Taxable .... property & person's (slaves) for example in the early tax records

alt: Happy hunting vkn..
vicjorob: vkn - what probate records are those?
alt: Are you Stewart researchers also looking at Stuart & Steward as possible spellings?
vkn: Wet and rainy in Atlanta. Alt found his DICKENS in NC records vicjorob at Family Search
karoshi8: Yes alt.
vicjorob: alt - I've not been averse to Steward but can't say the Stuart variation has popped up Congrats alt!
alt: okay karoshi8 & vicjorob .. cause I'm seeing those spelling in Ross Co., OH and I'm sure those families connect.... also be aware of SEWARD connecting to those families.
karoshi8: Yes, I have several Sewards.
vicjorob: Thanks alt
HistoryBuff: Good job Alt
vkn: lol spelling does count and in so many ways lol
karoshi8: vkn, can you tell me what you know about Dorothy Penman Harrison?
alt: For folks researching FPOC in Ohio and if they were there prior to 1850 you have possible connections to so many families particularly if in Gallia, Ross and those other counties in SE Ohio where there 'sizeable' AA communities
vicjorob: GOt to go. GOtta pull a few things together for a 1 pm meeting. Have fun.
alt: you too vicjorob
karoshi8: Was it because it was so close to the river that they went there alt? Bye vicjorob
Daviss: later vicjorob
HistoryBuff: Interesting Alt. Thnx.
alt: Well, I think the migration pattern from the upper south (VA/MD/NC) was into southern Ohio and then north & west withing Ohio karoshi8
karoshi8: Ok. It is interesting stuff.
Daviss: here is a 2010 article karoshi8 http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-12-27/features/ct-met-harrison-obit-1228-20101227_1_educator-and-advocate-delta-sigma-theta-public-service
karoshi8: Thanks Daviss.
Daviss: welcome
alt: remember the southern States were trying to get rid of their FPOC and OH, IN, MI were the 'promised land' in the early 1800's for those newly freed Blacks.
Selma: Ohio was a free state, but it didn't stop it from being anti-black
karoshi8: Very true Selma.
Selma: Large numbers of FB's from VA go to Ohio..VA was pushing them out
vkn: we must remember that selma
alt: that's for sure Selma.... no doubt about that
karoshi8: Going home to SE Ohio still scares me from time to time.
Selma: They were seen as a threat in many communities in VA ..as their numbers grew
alt: and the Northern state didn't want an influx of Blacks.. that could compete for land & job opportunities
Selma: Was it GIST alt..who emancipated his slaves and took them to Ohio..can't think of the name of the book
alt: there were 4 Gist settlement's in Ohio Selma...
Selma: Ok..really interesting book, can't think of the name
karoshi8: Which ones alt?
alt: Samuel Gist supposedly freed nearly 1,000 of his slaves
karoshi8: I know of Lambert Lands, Poke Patch, and Payne's Crossing.
Daviss: Do you know any Gist alt? my sisters God Parents were Ted and Vickie Gist
vkn: not to my knowledge karoshi8 im screen is frozen
alt: not sure any of those were Gist settlements karoshi8 .. his slave settled mostly in Brown & Clermont counties.
karoshi8: Ok. Thanks vkn. I'm trying to connect her to my Penman's
vkn: in Alabama karoshi8
alt: I don't know any Gist's by name Daviss, but I know many of the descendant families by other surnames
karoshi8: No, in Kentucky.
Daviss: ok alt
vkn: okies
karoshi8: I've been tracing her line and it seems they could only be related to my Penman's. Because my Penman's are the only one's in Garrard County, KY and that is where her great great grandfather says he was born.
vkn: In KY knowledge is limited to BENHAM PATTERSON LYLE and BELL
Daviss: Gotta run folks take care and hopefully will see you tonight on BlogRadio
alt: bye Daviss
karoshi8: Ok, I was just wondering cause you posted about Delta Sigma Theta. And she was a former president. Bye Daviss
vkn: ahhhhhhhhh I see. I am a Delta Dear which means in part that my memory fails to remember much of what I knew. lol I do see that Young was a founder from Ohio Alt
alt: okay Delta Dear LOL LOL
karoshi8: Dorothy was from Portsmouth, Ohio, but her 2nd great grandfather was from Garrard County, KY. Have a good afternoon guys. I'm going to try to suss out this Penman tree. Wish me luck!

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate children with glycosphingolipid (GSL) storage disorders to investigate brain changes that cause nervous system degeneration. No experimental treatments are offered in this study; participants will receive standard medical care for their disease. The information from this study may help researchers develop new therapies for these disorders and monitor the effects of treatment.
Patients of any age with Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, GM1 gangliosidosis, or type 2 Gaucher disease may be eligible for this study.
Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 4 to 5 days every 6 months for a clinical evaluation involving the following tests and procedures:
- Medical history
- Physical, neurologic, and eye examinations
- Developmental evaluations by a physical therapist, nutritionist and psychologist
- Blood tests to check nutritional status, liver and kidney function, and, in patients treated for seizures, level of anti-seizure drugs. Some blood will also be used for research purposes.
- Urinalysis to check urine sugar levels and kidney function
- Skin biopsy to obtain cells to grow in culture. The biopsy area is numbed with an anesthetic cream and a 1/8-inch piece of skin is removed with a circular punch and scissors.
- Genetic analysis of DNA to screen for mutations responsible for the patient s GSL storage disorder
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans. Children with type 2 Gaucher disease, Sandhoff disease and GM1 gangliosidosis will also have liver and spleen scans. Brain scans will be done every 6 months the first year. After that, they may be done less often, depending on the results. For the MRI, the child lies still in a narrow cylinder (the scanner). A magnetic field and radio waves are used to produce pictures of the organs under study. (Children will be sedated for MRI. Children who cannot be sedated will not have this test.)
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure electrical activity of the brain and detect possible seizures. For this test, electrodes (small metal discs attached to wires) are attached to the child s head with a paste and the brain waves (electrical activity) are recorded while the child rests quietly.
- Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) to measure hearing. Electrodes are attached to the child s head (similar to the EEG procedure) and the brain waves are recorded when a sound stimulation is given.
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to study proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes the brain and spinal cord. A needle is inserted in the space between the bones (vertebrae) in the lower back. About 2 tablespoons of fluid is collected through the needle. This test is done under anesthetic at the same time the MRI is done. If the child cannot be sedated, a local anesthetic will be used.
|Condition or disease
|Neurological Regression Myoclonus Cherry Red Spot Brain Atrophy
The GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses are lysosomal storage disorders that primarily affect the brain and are uniformly fatal. No effective therapy for patients with these diseases has yet been demonstrated. Historically, since these disorders are fatal very little natural history information or disease characterization using modern medical techniques has been collected. This information is vital in order to establish the pattern of disease progression and to identify clinical, biochemical and biophysical markers that can be used as endpoints in future therapeutic trials.
This protocol aims to study the natural history of the GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses in affected individuals of all ages, races and genders using medical technologies including MRI/MRS, hearing evaluation and auditory evoked response testing, and EEG, as well as subspecialty evaluations in rehabilitative medicine, ophthalmology, speech language pathology, neurology, and psychology. Biomarkers of disease progression will be explored in CSF and blood samples for correlation with disease staging. Fibroblast cultures will be established for testing potential therapeutic agents. We hypothesize that relevant biomarkers will correlate with disease progression and will shed light on the pathophysiology of disease progression in these devastating disorders.
As a means of acquiring additional information, subjects or their parents will also be asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their medical and developmental history, initial clinical presentation of the disease and steps toward diagnosis. At their request, the same questionnaire will be sent to families who do not wish to undergo clinical evaluation at the NIH, who are too unstable to travel, or whose children are already deceased.

"I think it's gotten worse," Elle fashion director and Project Ruway judge Nina Garcia tells The Wall Street Journal. "In the fashion industry, the models are getting thinner and thinner, yet as a culture, we're getting fatter and fatter." 17-year-old model Ali Michael, who has a 23-inch waist, walked in a bunch of shows in September. She's since gained five pounds. This season, Ali was told by casting directors that her legs were too fat. The chart of Ali's career? More pounds=less work. And she's not even 18. It's infuriating.

Thank you for all your help! Especially with my teenage daughter ;)
Absolutely brilliant 100%
by LYNFORD WALKER
Had these blouses for our daughter for two years now, first in blue (year 4) and then scarily in white(year 5). However they have stayed white wash after wash from September until now (end April). The blue ones lasted all the school year and would have been used this year but changed schools hence the change to white. Anyway up we will be buying new ones for September in the next size up.

It is a quiet day in the space colony of Raupill V.
Suddenly an invading Pantus army comes crashing through the forest!
The Raupill SpaceTroopers scramble to defend the colony, but can they stand against the tide?
The advancing Crawling Stones shoves the picknickers aside.
Raygun rays criss-cross the battlefield as the shooting starts, but nobody is hit.
As the Pantus advance continues, they hit a SpaceTrooper.
The return fire is ineffective. The Raupill Medik fails his revival attempt.
The advance of the Crawling Stones shoves all enemies into the ground, except for the Raupill Commander who stands firm.
One of the Stones destroys a supporting pillar, bringing down half the building.
The Pantlings fire at the Raupill Commander, but he parries with his beamsaber...
...and reflects the shot.
The Stones surround the Commander...
...and the lower half of his body is squashed to a red paste.
A civilian spectator is shot.
While the Medik fluffs another revival, the SpaceTrooper manage to kill a Pair of Pants.
Avenging their fallen brother, the Pants gang up on the Trooper and kick him to death.
The Medik suffers the same fate.
The Stones form a stair for the Pants Lord. What are their diabolical motives?
A frying pan.
Their mission completed, the Pantus army leaves.
The survivors watch in disbelief.

"These people are fabulous"
By Dr Quinn from Clearwater
Having worked at LLBean, I know what stellar customer service looks like and this company took the blue ribbon! The blinds I ordered were too wide. I guess I misjudeged altho I did it three of four times. I did discover that the distance when measured at the window was off from measured well below the winodw. Who knew? In any case, I called distressed and didn't know how I could get this huge blind returned etc etc. I had the most helpful woman who patiently walked me through measuring and measuring again. And then when the blinds arrive for the Lanai, one didn't fit either and George helped me through that one. When they say they have a 100% guarantee...they mean. it! It was a joy to work with them...and certainly will do all my business with them in the future. Plus, a company that is that responsive and helpful and generous...needs to be applauded so others can know and they can profit. They deserve it!View this product

I research many popular places, online and off. This was a third less. I love the look, it was just what I was looking for. This window faces south so I needed a room darkening shade. It does not disappoint.View this product

Chinese trade officials have begun flexing their government's economic muscle in advance of the Jan. 1 expiration of worldwide textile quotas, according to reports from the World Trade Organization.
In recent days, Chinese representatives reportedly tried to sidetrack an attempt by developing countries to persuade the WTO's Council on Trade Goods to put the textile quota phase-out on its agenda. Most analysts expect China's textile exports to the United States and Europe to increase dramatically with the end of quotas.
The Chinese also reportedly sought to quash a series of regional seminars on trade adjustment assistance that are aimed at helping developing countries that may lose market share to China when the quotas expire.
In both cases, developing countries, led by representatives from Turkey, Sri Lanka, El Salvador, Mauritius, Tunisia, Kenya and others, successfully defied the Chinese, according to the reports.
The Chinese effort to cancel the WTO outreach effort sparked outrage among member countries, officials say.
"By its strident opposition to any discussion in the CTG, China unambiguously demonstrated its intention to use its manipulative and unfair trade practices to wrest an additional $100 billion in global textile and clothing trade from other countries," said Turkey's Ziya Sukun.
"Instead of viewing China as a friend on textile and clothing issues, the developing world now sees China as a predator stalking them like prey," said Sukun, executive director of ITKIB Association USA, a trade association responsible for promoting the Turkish textile and clothing industry.
U.S. textile manufacturing organization leaders say that if China's export tactics in the U.S. market since it joined the WTO in 2002 are any indication, the rest of the developing countries are in serious trouble.
"In the clothing categories removed from quota in 2002, China went from a 9 percent U.S. import market share in 2001 to 72 percent market share as of June 2004," said Auggie Tantillo, executive director of the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition.
"With China's continued use of unfair and illegal practices such as currency manipulation, export tax rebates, and tolerance of non-performing loans, we expect China to capture a similar amount of U.S. import market share post 2005."
While the U.S. textile industry has suffered the loss of about 400,000 jobs since quotas were removed for a number of categories of China's textile exports, the economic impact on developing countries could be devastating.
"The expiration of textile and clothing quotas is an issue with global economic impact because textile and clothing exports are so important to so many countries," said Turkey's Sukun. "For the sake of its own organizational effectiveness, the WTO would be remiss to allow a single country to prevent it from addressing an issue of such critical global importance like the textile and clothing quota crisis."
The Global Alliance for Fair Textile Trade, a coalition of 96 textile and clothing associations from 54 countries, also criticized the Chinese for attempting to shunt the quota issue off to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Those institutions have proposed sending several hundred million dollars in grants and loans to developing countries impacted by the expiration of quotas. Sukun said such limited one-time aid packages, while welcome, cannot adequately compensate for the anticipated loss of $100 billion in annual global textile and clothing trade to China and "the accompanying destruction of tens of millions of manufacturing jobs in the developing world once quotas expire."
GAFTT officials said they believe that only a comprehensive solution such as that proposed in Mauritian and Turkish position papers can meaningfully mitigate the negative economic impact of the quota crisis.
The Mauritian proposal calls for the WTO to study the economic impact of the expiration of quotas and for the quota issue to be put on the Council on Trade Good's Permanent Work Program. The Turkish proposal calls for a safeguard mechanism that would prevent a few countries from monopolizing global textile and clothing markets.
"The impact of the expiration of quotas is a crisis of global proportions as textiles and clothing account for 10 percent or more of merchandise exports from at least 32 countries," says Tantillo. "Including the EU 15 as one country, there are 35 countries with textile and clothing exports of $1 billion or more. With so many countries so severely impacted, it would be irresponsible for the WTO to sweep the quota issue under the rug."

The Memory of Water
The Science of Medicine
Steven Novella
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 35.3, May/June 2011
Homeopathy is nonsense and superstition diluted beyond all reason and given as a remedy to the grossly misinformed or scientifically illiterate. And yet there persists that very odd creature, the modern homeopath. While the practice is indistinguishable from ritual and witchcraft (with all due apologies to witches), the modern homeopath would like to cloak himself in the respectability of science. That is the path to acceptance, official recognition, and reimbursement. So homeopaths have added a new head to their hydra of pseudoscience—the memory of water.
A Brief History of Homeopathy
Homeopathy was invented (it is not accurate to say it was discovered, which would imply it has some basis in reality) by Samuel Hahnemann in the late eighteenth century. Hahnemann developed his principles of homeopathy from anecdote and superstition without any chain of scientific research, evidence, or reasoning. It is therefore no surprise that more than two hundred years later, scientific progress has failed to validate any of Hahnemann's ideas (House of Commons 2010).
Scientific knowledge builds on itself, and when someone discovers a fundamental property of nature, it leads to further discoveries and a deepened understanding. Homeopathy led to nothing. Hahnemann's "law of similars" is the notion that "like cures like"—that a small dose of a substance will cure whatever symptoms it would cause in a high dose. This, however, is not based upon anything in biology or chemistry. It is often falsely compared to the body's response to vaccines, but this is not an apt analogy.
Hahnemann's "law of infinitessimals," the notion that a substance becomes more potent when diluted, violates the law of mass action and everything we know about chemistry. Also, many homeopathic remedies are diluted past the point where even a single molecule of the original substance is likely to be left behind. Hahnemann believed that the water retained the magical "essence" of the substance, which makes homeopathy a vitalistic belief system.
Hahnemann's ideas are sufficiently silly that even at the time, early in the history of science, they were ridiculed and dismissed. Homeopathy remains utterly nonsensical, but it is now much more sophisticated nonsense.
A recent fascination with unscientific health modalities has caused a resurgence of interest in homeopathy, leading to many clinical trials of the effectiveness of homeopathic products for specific ailments. After hundreds of clinical studies of homeopathy, systematic reviews reveal that homeopathic remedies are indistinguishable from placebos (another way of saying that they do not work) (Ernst 2010).
This is not even a scientific controversy—the evidence that homeopathy cannot work and does not work is overwhelming. Only ideology, wishful thinking, and scientific illiteracy keep it alive.
Water Memory
Modern defenders have desperately tried to justify homeopathy with scientific-sounding explanations, but they have failed miserably. One such attempt is the notion that water is capable of having memory—that it can physically remember the chemical properties of substances that have been diluted in it.
The notion of water memory was first raised by French homeopath Jacques Benveniste in 1988. He was not studying the water structure itself, just trying to demonstrate that water can retain the memory of antibodies or other substances diluted in it. His research, however, has been completely discredited due to the many flaws in Benveniste's methods, his lab's cherry-picking of data, his improper statistics, and his recounting data points that did not fit their desired results (Scrimgeour 2007).
Materials scientist Rustum Roy, who was enamored with spiritual healing, built upon Benveniste's discredited research, claiming that water molecules are like bricks—they can be used to build structures that contain greater complexity and information than the bricks themselves. Specifically, water molecules can encode in their structure the chemical properties of what was diluted in them.
However, the evidence does not support this claim. What has been demonstrated is that water molecules form transient bonds with other water molecules, creating a larger ultrastructure—but these water structures are extremely short-lived. They are not permanent. In fact, research shows that water molecules very efficiently distribute energy from these bonds, making them extremely ephemeral. One such research paper concludes: "Our results highlight the efficiency of energy redistribution within the hydrogen-bonded network, and that liquid water essentially loses the memory of persistent correlations in its structure within 50 fs" (Cowan 2005). That's fifty femtoseconds, or fifty quadrillionths (10-15) of a second. Contrary to Roy's claims, water does not hold memory. In fact it is characterized by being extremely efficient at not holding memory. Scientists can argue about whether or not water can display ultrastructure lingering for longer than femtoseconds under certain conditions—but they are arguing over incredibly small fractions of a second.
Recently Nobel Laureate Luc Montagnier has given a boost to the "water memory" hopes of homeopaths by publishing a series of experiments in which he claims that DNA highly diluted in water is able to generate radio signals (Montagnier 2009). There are numerous problems with these studies, however. Prime among them is that Montagnier's study design is laughably sloppy (see Myers 2011). Montagnier used a crude signal detection device hooked up to a computer and generated worthless noise-ridden results. His studies proved nothing (and, not surprisingly, have not been replicated), but that has not stopped homeopaths from seizing upon his work to claim vindication.
So we are still left with no plausibility and no evidence that water can form ultrastructures for a biologically meaningful amount of time. It is amazing that Roy, Montagnier, and others so enthusiastically extrapolated from the claim that water can hold structures slightly longer than previously believed (itself probably bogus) to the notion that this can explain the biological effectiveness of homeopathy. Let's take a close look at the nontrivial steps they glossed over.
If this kind of water "memory" is an explanation for homeopathy, then these structures would have to survive not only in a sample of water but through the physical mixing of that water with other water. In fact, they would have to transfer their structure, like a template, to surrounding water molecules. This would need to be reliably repeatable over many dilutions. Then these structures would have to survive transfer to a sugar pill (often homeopathic remedies are prepared by a drop of the water being placed onto a sugar pill).
These water structures would then have to be transferred to the sugar molecules because before long the water will evaporate. This pill will then sit on a shelf for days, months, or years before it is finally consumed by a gullible patient. The sugar pill will be broken down in the homeopathy proponent's stomach, and the sugar molecules will then be digested, absorbed into the blood stream, and distributed through the blood to the tissues of the body.
Presumably, whatever molecules are retaining this alleged ultrastructure are sticking together throughout all of these processes and finding their way to the target organ in which they are able to have their chemical/biological effect.
Absurd does not even begin to cover the leaps of logic that are being committed here. In short, invoking water memory as an explanation for homeopathic effects just adds more layers of magical thinking to the notion of homeopathy; it wouldn't offer a plausible explanation even if the theory of water memory was true, which it isn't.
Some chemical bonds are strong enough to survive this process intact and make it through the body to the target tissue where they can bind to receptors or undergo their chemical reactions. Even most chemicals, however, cannot make it through this biological gauntlet with their chemical activity intact—which is why the bioavailability of many potential drugs is too low for them to be useful as oral agents. The chemicals are simply broken down by the digestive process. In other words, the ephemeral bonds of this alleged water memory—if this fiction of water memory even existed—would have a bioavailability of zero.
The notion that water has memory is nothing more than a restating of Hahnemann's superstitious notion that substances can transfer their "vital essence" to other substances. Water memory is another fiction of homeopathy; it is not based upon any science and is implausible in the extreme.

Capital budgets look relatively healthy at many university recreation centers across the country. That's the good news.
The bad news: Operating budgets appear to be stagnant or, in some cases, declining by as much as 10 percent.
In 2008 (the most recent year for which figures are available), almost $4 billion in capital projects were underway at higher education recreation centers that belong to the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA). That was up from $3.1 billion in 2006, reports NIRSA. Moreover, the average project expenditure was $20.7 million in 2008, up from $19.4 million in 2006.
Although that data is encouraging, the number of schools that were involved in facility construction, expansion and/or renovations was down — 174 in 2008 from 220 in 2006 — no doubt because the rough economy has more university decision-makers taking a more cautious approach.
Of those universities and colleges that are continuing to expand their recreation offerings, the prospect of soon being able to offer state-of-the-art facilities and programming is having a heady impact on campus.
The expansion of Reed Gym at Idaho State University's main campus in Pocatello, ID, was 60 percent complete in October. The university is adding 32,000 square feet to its existing 70,000-square-foot rec center. New features will include a large multipurpose room, additional space for weights and cardio machines, campus recreation offices, new bathrooms, and a lounge area, as well as a dramatic two-story enclosed atrium.
Douglas Milder, director of campus recreation at Idaho State, noted that the school's original recreation facility, built in 1951, needed an update to continue attracting students to the school.
"We started this project in 2003, and students agreed to expand the recreation facility, even though most of them would be gone by the time the construction was done," says Milder. The $7 million project is being funded by a bond that is based on students' recreation fees included in each semester's tuition bill. The new facility is expected to be open next spring or summer, says Milder.
Western Oregon University, Monmouth, OR, broke ground in October on a $30 million renovation of its circa-1935 physical education building to turn it into a modern health and wellness center. Construction crews will renovate the existing structure and add 80,000 square feet that will include an elevated running track, two racquetball courts, two basketball courts, a rock climbing wall, 25,000 square feet of classrooms and a kinesiology lab. The work is being funded mostly by the school's renovation budget as well as a student-approved construction bond.
At Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, the years of waiting and planning to renovate the Student Fitness and Wellness Center are almost over. By December, a final decision about renovating the 52-year-old rec center should be in hand, says Howard Taylor, director of the division of recreational sports.
If the plan goes through as expected, the center will increase from 213,000 square feet to 322,000 square feet and will be better connected to the university's aquatics facility next door.
"Ours was the first standalone university recreation center of any U.S. college or university in the country," says Taylor. "Previously, recreation centers were part of the athletic department. Purdue has not done a major renovation of the facility since then, however. And students were complaining about the facility."
The new center will triple Purdue's space for fitness, cardio and strength training, as well as double or even triple the number of multipurpose rooms, which can be used for both fitness and student organization meetings. Purdue has more than 800 student groups, some of which center around martial arts and dance, and neither the current recreation center nor the university has room for these groups to meet, says Taylor.
Additionally, Purdue will modernize the indoor running track and expand the gym to allow more space for basketball, volleyball, badminton and table tennis. Administrators also will build a climbing wall and a shallow, warm water pool for swim lessons, water aerobics and other aquatics activities.
The utilities in the original structure will be updated, and systems will be selected, when appropriate, from environmentally sound options, says Taylor.
"We've applied for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building status. Students who met with the architects made it clear that the green alternatives were very important to them in the new facility," Taylor says.
A new wellness suite will house space for wellness and nutrition counseling, as well as a demonstration kitchen for healthy cooking classes.
"All of these amenities will be extensions of the student learning experience," says Taylor.
Funding for the new center will come from fundraising efforts and student fees that will be phased in and increased during the next three years. In October, Purdue's Board of Trustees approved a finance and construction proposal for the new facility, which Taylor called a "major hurdle passed. There still are some steps we have to take with the state, and we'll know for sure in December if we're a go."
Construction crews also are hard at work at the University of Tennessee-Martin (UTM), and Drexel University in Philadelphia. In October 2008, UTM broke ground on a $16.5 million, 96,000-square-foot recreation center that will house a weight room, cardio areas, a multipurpose room, four basketball courts, an indoor soccer arena, a lounge, a walking/jogging area and racquetball courts.
Next Page: SMALL IMPROVEMENTS
The new, as-yet-unnamed facility, scheduled to open in the spring, includes several green construction alternatives, including T-8 energy-efficient lights. The main funding source for the new building is student fees, according to a UTM press release.
The recreation center at Drexel University is undergoing a major renovation that will add 13,000 square feet of gym space, 17,000 square feet of fitness space, two squash courts, a jogging track, a rock climbing wall, two high-ceilinged group exercise rooms with natural light, an expansive atrium and a sports-themed restaurant.
Not all university rec center improvements encompass grand and sweeping changes. Some universities have initiated small but important renovations.
For example, Stephens Fitness Center at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, reclaimed 800 square feet of equipment storage space and renovated it into the Cardio Annex, which houses space for Spin classes as well as ellipticals, rowers and other cardio gear. Also added were air conditioning, ceiling fans, high-density flooring, a sound system with satellite radio and four flat-screen LCD TVs.
"These additions enabled us to increase our treadmills from eight to 20," says David Leach, associate director of athletics for campus recreation. "So there is less of a wait for cardio equipment now."
Stephens Fitness Center is part of Princeton's Dillon Gym, which encompasses 172,000 square feet of basketball courts, dance studios, martial arts studios, squash courts and a six-lane pool.
Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, recently opened an Americans with Disability Act-compliant, 3,900-square-foot satellite center in the Marshall Square Mall located on campus. Joseph Lore, director of the department of recreation services, says it was completed based on student input.
"They wanted new and improved fitness facilities," he says.
The facility, which is handicap-accessible, includes an upper-body ergometer that can be used by people in wheelchairs; accessible, self-locking lockers; two (of 10) treadmills that have Braille overlays on the control panels; contrasting flooring to assist visually impaired exercisers; five (of 12) weight machines that are total-access units; and three accessible bathrooms with handicap-accessible showers.
Lore could not say what the final cost was but notes that the new facility was outfitted using university funding.
At the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center at DePaul University, Chicago, administrators converted an instructional kitchen and expanded it into a multipurpose room, says Maureen McGonagle, director of campus recreation.
The center also recently replaced strength and conditioning equipment. Those renovations and additions were funded by DePaul's Repair and Replacement Fund, McGonagle says.
A refinished gym floor, new equipment and infrastructure repairs were on the completed renovation list at Truman State University, Kirksville, MO, during the past two years, according to Susan Limestall, director of campus recreation.
And in the Student Recreation Complex at Arizona State University's (ASU) main campus in Tempe, AZ, 100 cardio pieces were replaced, and all of the new equipment has cardio theater installed.
"We dipped into our interest reserve fund for this," says Tamra Garstka, director of campus recreation. "And the students really love it."
Other recent ASU additions include an outdoor weight room, two outdoor basketball courts and a multipurpose rink for inline hockey, dodgeball and other student activities.
"All were done at the request of students and funded by the student body" says Garstka. "They demanded that we add to the quality of their recreational lives."
Although this new construction and renovation news is encouraging, all of the university recreation center managers interviewed for this story said that flat or decreased operating budgets are their new norm.
At ASU, for example, the university president instructed all departments to cut budgets by 5 percent to 10 percent in FY 2009. ASU employees had a choice between taking unpaid furloughs or pay cuts of between 10 percent and 15 percent, depending on the employee's level of responsibility. Most took the pay cuts, says Garstka. However, she has been able to boost revenue for the recreation center by increasing fees for program registration, equipment rental and memberships for faculty and staff.
Both Syracuse's and Idaho State's recreation departments cut their operating budgets 10 percent this year because of their schools' fiscal situations. Milder at Idaho State had to lay off one full-time employee, and he expects a further 6 percent cut to be announced before year's end.
"We need so much new funding, what with our new addition, that it feels like we are stepping into a hole to climb a mountain. But the construction is 60 percent complete, and it will be finished because the capital funding for it is in place, so at least we have that."
Limestall at Truman State says her budget was not cut this year, but the university put in place other cost-cutting measures university-wide, including hiring and salary freezes (except for promotions). Just emergency-only purchases are being authorized.
Although McGonagle at DePaul also has not shouldered a budget cut, she has been instructed to keep the recreation center's operating expenditures flat.
Leach at Princeton also has managed to avoid a budget cut, but he has reduced costs in other ways.
"We have eliminated the publication of a semi-annual brochure, saving approximately $15,000 a year," he says. "Information that was typically found in our fall/spring brochures can now be found on our Web site. Additionally, we're looking into other efficiencies, such as combining classes with [low] enrollments."
Purdue's recreational sports division will shoulder a 2 percent cut in its operating budget next year. The university also did not give salary increases and have trimmed travel expenses, Taylor says.
"On the positive side, our revenue from group fitness and other pay programs are up," he says. "I think students see these as low-cost ways to stay social and get fit."
Today's university recreation centers have to do more with less.
"We have to constantly think about efficiency in operations, upgrading facilities, collaborating with other departments in the university and brainstorming ways to help students save money," Milder says.
"We must stay current on the ever-advancing technology and fitness programming options, all while juggling stagnant or reduced budgets," he continues. "It's a tough proposition, to be sure. In this fiscal crisis, families send their kids to college, even though it may be financially difficult for them to do so. In return, we offer to those families the valuable service of keeping their kids healthy and fit while they're here."

Uncovering Dress: An Exploration of Fashion as a Cultural History
The Vassar College Costume Collection (VCCC) is a collection of original historic clothing, dating from the 1830s to the present. The collection is primarily womenswear, representing the relationship of the collection to Vassar's history as the first of the Seven Sisters to be chartered as a women's college, founded in 1861. The collection also includes examples from a variety of design houses such as Jeanne Lanvin, Maison Levilion, Callot Soeurs, Liberty, Pucci, Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Pauline Trigere, and Lilly Pulitzer. Each garment comes to us from Vassar's community and represents Vassar's own past, telling us in turn about the history of women's education and the history of the Hudson Valley.

Type: Defect
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
Currently when analyzing dependencies in analyzer.clj we do not warn when the library does not exist on disk. The error should be similar to the one emitted by Clojure so that the user is aware how the namespace maps to directories and filenames.
(ns hello
(:require [typomina :refer [x]]))
Expected: Should be reported when typomina is a namespace never provided.
Actual: when optimization is none or whitespace, no warnings are given.
Expected: when x does not exist in typomina, hello should not compile
Actual: x is not verified even if typomina exists
Dependencies are not resolved at cljs compile time.
cljs.closure docstring:
"build = compile -> add-dependencies -> optimize -> output"
Dependencies are deferred to Closure
"designed to leverage Google's Closure library, and participates in its dependency/require/provide mechanism"
Closure compiler detects missing dependencies when optimizations simple or advanced are applied:
./bin/cljsc hello.cljs '{:optimizations :simple :output-to "hello.js"}'
Dec 31, 2013 4:10:03 PM com.google.javascript.jscomp.LoggerErrorManager println
SEVERE: hello:3: ERROR - required "typomina" namespace never provided
ERROR: JSC_MISSING_PROVIDE_ERROR. required "typomina" namespace never provided at hello line 3 : 0
But not for whitespace or none. For none, Closure is not even called by cljs "optimize".
./bin/cljsc hello.cljs '{:optimizations :whitespace :output-to "hello.js"}'
(1) If there are unprovided dependencies after get-dependencies, let the user know:
provided (mapcat :provides (concat required-js required-cljs))
unprovided (clojure.set/difference (set requires) (set provided))] (when unprovided
(apply println "ERROR, required namespace never provided for" (sort unprovided)))
(3) A useful warning for :undeclared-ns-form was hidden due to typos in the 'type' checking. 'type' checking outside of (warning ) was redundant as the (warning ) handler checks if that 'type' is enabled. External checks removed.
(4) no-warn was used for subdeps in analyze-deps
It seems this will just hide real issues.
(5) There was an opts flag :warnings which would disable :undeclared-var :undeclared-ns :undeclared-ns-form
when undefined. Tools like leincljsbuild do not enable it, and I can't find the option documented or recommended. This patch removes the :warnings option in favor of reporting them. Obviously this means you see more warnings reported now. They are real warnings. I recommend a separate ticket/patch to expose and document warning controlling options (:warnings should control all warnings, not just undeclared - and there should be the ability to turn on/off individual or sets of warnings.) Also (repl) function takes a "warn-on-undeclared" optional key which if missing will disable error checking - I think I should take this out or default it to true when not present.
Some discussion here:

How To Free Mobile Spy Apps For Android ?
If you need to monitor or track a Android phone, then there will be no problem doing it with this kind of software and, indeed, I'd venture to say it would be the best choice that you could make. Free Mobile Spy Apps For Android that works very well, and a full money back refund if you are not entirely satisfied with their product.
The functions that you get with this monitoring app for the Android or other variants of the Android come as standard for all other makes of phone so that includes Text monitoring (both inboud and outbound texts – even if they have been deleted – they will be recorded for you). You also get to see all call history on the phone including time of calls, call duration and who the other caller was (contact or phone number). You can see all emails, IMs, and other correspondence that is sent through the phone via the G3 or internet services of the cell phone and that includes all photos and pictures and internet history.
Depending on what use you have for coupling up tracking software on the Android phone, you might want to take advantage of going for the Premium upgrade. For an extra 30 or so bucks, you'll also be able to listen in to live conversations on the targeted cell phone. This facility also allows you to use the phone as a remote spying system that will let you listen in on the surroundings of the phone (including all conversations taking place within earshot of it). Another thing that the basic package will allow you to do is to track the location of the cell phone whenever it is switched on – this is done using GPS and an online real-time mapping application.
The way this works is that you need to get the Free Mobile Spy Apps For Android installed onto the target Android phone initially. Once this has been done all of the phone's information (as outlined above) will be sent to a secure website where you (and you alone) will be able to log in to track all the data in real time (including the live cell conversations).
Tracking Android Cell Phone With Free Mobile Spy Apps For Android
Once installed Free Mobile Spy Apps For Android on the Android phone – there is no way that a user will know that it is passing all of it's secrets to your secure spying or monitoring area. There are no clues left on the phone suggesting that the phone is being monitored as the tech guys at these companies have ensured that the download is untraceable once applied to the device. This is a part of their functionality guarantee.
I would be wary of going elsewhere for smart phone spying software as there are a number of known scammers online who will take your money without providing a working software. You would also find it very difficult to get your money back if you were unfortunate enough to go with one of these bogus software providers as they set up shop internationally overseas and are extremely scant with contact information. At least the companies in my links are an internationally renowned brand with great customer service, support and full money back guarantee if you are not totally satisfied with your purchase.
Here is a list of the Android-Samsung products that are compatible with this spying software: Vibrant Galaxy S, Nexus, Galaxy Spica, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Mini s5570, Appollo i5801, Intercept, Europa, GT I7500 Galaxy, Galaxy S Showcase, Galaxy si9000, Galaxy Prevail, etc..
What you just need to do is to:

Dear friends and fans,
At first, I never thought The Adventures of the S-Team would take off. And then, I never thought it would stay so popular. And then, I never thought I'd get to the point where I was ready to bring it to an end. Yet all those things came to pass, and I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.
Thanks for your support. The site will stay up and archives remain intact for your enjoyment. Just because there aren't going to be any new S-Team strips doesn't mean I won't enjoy seeing the comments of readers new and old over the entire run.
I'd like to encourage you to check out my fiction, both in ebook and print editions, available from pretty much every online retailer. My preference is you buy ebooks through Smashwords, but I understand that sometimes you'd rather use alternative sources. My print books are available currently only through Amazon and New Babel Books (my publisher). Buying those will encourage the publisher to release subsequent volumes.
You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook to find out what other things are going on with me. And of course, there's always the main www.ianthealy.com website.
Will I ever do another LEGO webcomic? Possibly. Rest assured, if I do, you'll find out about it via the channels above. I have other LEGO-based projects in mind that I will be working on now that I have more free time.
Thank you all. You're the best.
Ian Thomas Healy
All those years ago, this strip began with superhero auditions and the janitor screaming "NOOOOO!" every time somebody destroyed something.
I'm sure there are other creators who've helped me out in some way over the years that I haven't named, and I do apologize for that. Rest assured, I have appreciated each and every one of you.
For those of you readers who haven't explored other LEGO webcomics, the ones I mentioned are excellent places to start, as well as many others found in the Brick Comic Network.
I feel kind of bad for those readers who just surfed on in for the first time. "The Adventures of the S-Team? LEGO superheroes? Wicked cool!"

Think Twice – For the Sake of Our Children
Posted By Guest On February 19, 2013 @ 1:24 pm In Connection Point,Voices from the Frontlines | 1 Comment
Shelley Hermon
-an interview by Mary Liepold
Shelley Hermon is the director and producer of Within the Eye of the Storm, a 2012 documentary about the remarkable friendship between Palestinian Bassam Aramin and Israeli Rami Elhanan, each of whom lost a daughter to the conflict. Peace X Peace published Shelley's account of the film's making [2] in October and is hosting a series of screenings in the Washington, DC area [3] from Feb. 21 – Feb. 26.
I would say I'm a seeker. I question a lot of things, and I seek answers. I'm a peacemaker/mediator. I'm a film-maker. And I have a strong sense of justice.
It's my outgoing nature, my ability to relate to people, to connect with people no matter who they are or where they're from, to see and bring out the best in people. I'm an eternal optimist.
I don't recall having a when-I-grow-up fantasy. If there was one, it would be a dancer. And I am one, though it's not my profession. I do a dance called 5 Rhythm Dance, developed by Gabrielle Roth in the US. I also do social dancing wherever there's music and opportunity. Dancing makes me happy.
My journey started when I finished my studies in product design and went traveling. For the first five months I was all over Asia. Then I landed in Hong Kong and somehow knew I was meant to stay there. I applied for a job in an ad agency, Ogilvy & Mather, as an Art Director and was given a trial of three months, which became two years. It was a great experience and I loved working in a team, but it became very clear that advertising was not me. I don't really believe in the products or the whole mindset of consumerism and manipulating people. When I looked for something else, I looked at my traits and saw that film combined all my strengths. I took a course for a year and I was hooked. I worked as an assistant director, a producer, a researcher, a production manager, a camera person―tried out all the different roles to see where I am strongest, and landed on directing and cinematography.
What drew me to film is that it has in it all the elements I love and believe in: exploration of societies and the human condition, psychology, the potential for impact, and the audiovisual means of expression. Documentary-making is my way to be an activist. Every film I choose to work on has the intention of raising social awareness and puts my skills and energy to making the world a better place. Some documentary makers are about art form and telling a story first, but for me it's always first and foremost about delivering an important message. All the way through, my experience in life is of touching different cultures and being touched by different cultures, about celebrating diversity.
I was surprised by the amount of patience and persistence that is required to make a documentary film. Before this I would hear people say, 'I worked on that for seven years,' and I'd think 'What the hell?' I'm by nature efficient and hardworking, but I had to learn patience. This is my first feature film, and it took over six years. There's a natural process of life that just has to be. With Rami and Bassam, I wanted to see their process through. Then, fundraising takes time and you have to wait. I really had to learn patience.
The hardest in making this film and the hardest in my life in general was finding myself two years into making this film alone, financing it myself, with no money to continue the film or my life and no idea where to turn. People were showing interest but they weren't backing me up. I felt like I was holding a gem in my hand and I would have to let it go.
I wound up asking my parents for a loan so I could work with a scriptwriter, and then it all went forward. Working with someone else was the breakthrough. I was broke, I was owing money, and I had to go one extra mile―and it took off! The bottom line is trusting what you believe in and going all out. I need that to live with myself.
Emotionally and psychologically, this was a very difficult film to make. There were days when I drove back from Jerusalem or Ramallah crying all the way. I got so close, so attached to Bassam and Rami both. This became a part of my life, not just a story to be told.
No. I had wanted to go back for many years. Then I ended a seven-year relationship and said 'This is the time to pack my bags.' I was eight when we moved to the UK, so I speak fluent Hebrew. I never really felt I belonged in the UK, and I realized over time that is a very important feeling, to belong. It's the reason why I deal with difference in my work.
When I came back, one thing that really struck me was how violence was accepted here in Israel, seen as needed, as if there's no way to live without it. We're in defense mode all the time; people accept it as part of life. That was not the case in the UK. Soon after I arrived came the Lebanon war, then Gaza, and the media worked overtime. Even before the war would occur we were manipulated into being fearful, 'standing tall.' There was a strong sense of brainwashing and I found myself almost getting sucked into it. I kept pulling back, knowing I needed to find my own sources of information beyond the TV screen.
Both sides live in a culture that is both military and bereaved. It's easy to play with people's minds because they've been exposed to trauma and pain. Fear of the other is easy when you've never met the other. From school days and little on you've heard one narrative, seen it from one perspective. What else would you believe?
Since what we believe manifests, we create what we fear. Having the perspective of someone raised abroad, I didn't have that fear of the other. I have met and befriended Palestinians, Arabs all my life. I felt no fear driving into Ramallah, and when I told Israelis that they would say, 'Are you mad?'
Most important, for me, is offering a picture that includes both sides. We have to get into the shoes of the other, learn about the other, recognize that there IS another, that there are two perspectives. Learning reduces the fear. Most people on both sides have an image of what the other is. There is much demonizing. When people meet actual Israelis and Palestinians they watch the news with a reality check, with a recollection of their own experience, what that person was like. Part of the importance of making a film is to allow people who would not go there themselves that exposure and experience. In a film, if it's very personal, they can have the feeling of meeting that person. Perhaps that will inspire them to go and have a firsthand experience.
That it's not about right or wrong or good and bad; that "these people" are so and so. Especially when looking at it from the outside, instead of taking sides and blaming, we have to do something to help both sides come to the table to dialogue and to take responsibility. When people strengthen one side or the other they don't bring about a solution. I see it happening in wars and sudden outbursts of violence, how people gather support, gather legitimization. I even see it on Facebook, where people try to sway me to take sides. If we would refuse to take sides there would be no need for war. Both sides would be on the same side … the human side. We need to cultivate tolerance and understanding. Outside perspective, outside intervention is needed, pressure put on both sides to end the violence.
That people gain hope that there is another way and believe it. We have become so apathetic and disbelieving of peace. We really need that hope and to be moved into action. That people seek to learn more about the other, to take action in any of many ways―in an activist way, in seeking to improve our education, or in the political arena, for example. My ultimate hope is in the leaders of tomorrow, in the education of the young. Most adults come with fixed ideas and it takes a lot to change them. For young people, especially teens, the film can make them think twice before they act, before they serve in the army―ask how they're serving, who they're serving, what they're up against. For Palestinians, to know there's another Israeli besides the soldier and the settler and for them to think twice when summoned to a situation of violence. I hope we can all move away from the military and bereaved culture. I believe we must, for the sake of our children!
