Yuvi must set time frame for return, says cancer survivor Callaghan

Former South African all-rounder Callaghan, who overcame testicular cancer, highlights the importance of having a support group as India star Yuvraj Singh begins his recovery battle
Dave Callaghan, the former South Africa all-rounder, who overcame testicular cancer to play international cricket in the 1990s and early 2000, has some advice for cancer-stricken Yuvraj Singh: Set yourself a goal.
While Port Elizabeth-based Callaghan conceded that survival would be uppermost on India's 2011 World Cup star's mind, the 47-year-old South African said that Yuvraj must soon set a time frame for his return to cricket.

"Yuvraj will do well to tell himself, 'by the end of my treatment, I would like to play... for example... next year's IPL (Indian Premier League).' A target to work towards is important," said Callaghan. "I told myself (in 1991) that at the end of my treatment which was four to six months, I would like to play one first-class match again."
Indeed, Callaghan made it back on the South African domestic circuit for Eastern Province 'B' field after four sessions of chemotherapy. Callaghan's testicular cancer was detected by accident when he visited a doctor to get an abdomen injury checked while playing club cricket in England. By December 1992, he made his international debut in the one-day series against Mohammed Azharuddin's tourists.
He is in a good position to know what Yuvraj is going through. But the need to be extremely tough cannot be lost on the mercurial left-hander, who last played for India in November's Test series against the West Indies.
Another important ingredient in the road to recovery, according to Callaghan is to, "find a support group of people who have had cancer and compare notes with them. I know Yuvraj is a superstar in India, but an illness like this makes you understand that you are just like anyone else in the world." The South African had no doubts over Yuvraj getting the maximum support from his fans, but the support which would matter the most will come from his family and teammates.
Great news though...
"Cancer is all about early detection and it is great news that the doctor says it's the first stage," said Callaghan, who didn't shy away from talking about the challenging times Yuvraj might face: "I think he might have a small problem with his own doubts like how bad is the malignancy, how far has the cancer reached, is this what my body goes through, am I going to feel normal or sick after a session? That's why it is important to have a good support group of people who have been through it all."
In an earlier interview to this writer at Port Elizabeth in 2006, Callaghan spoke at length about his illness:
lMy illness made me think about life more. I looked back on my days when I used to bang my bat and throw tantrums in the dressing room when I used to get out. I regretted that and decided to take whatever comes my way in my stride simply because I was fortunate to be living.
lI had four sessions of chemotherapy. They were awful. lI remember collapsing in the passage on the way to the toilet and my wife had to help me to toilet and back on the bed. lI lost all my hair through chemotherapy sessions. Everyone was very concerned about my health. People used to ask me how I was and then I said I am fine. I could see that they were not convinced. But as a cancer patient, you are always positive and you always believe that you will live.
Callaghan is also known for his unbeaten 169 as opener in a ODI against NZ in 1994. When Hansie Cronje was caught in the match-fixing controversy, it was Callaghan who took his place in the team which played Australia in April 2000. Although fully cured, he doesn't take any chances with his health even when it comes to slight pain in his back.

Before the days of the budget airline free-for-all, most aeroplanes were boarded in row-number blocks – with passengers seated at the rear section of the plane going first.
While this method is widely believed to be more efficient than everyone piling on at once (apparently it isn't) some folks had suspected that better schemes could be found.
There are two main ways in which passengers can interfere with each other and slow down the boarding process. In "aisle interference", a passenger who is stowing a bag in an overhead locker prevents people from moving further into the plane. In "seat interference", seated passengers move into the aisle to allow others to sit down, slowing down boarding.
In addition to block boarding, several other schemes have been proposed to minimize interference. These include "Wilma", which begins with all window-seat passengers followed by all those seated in the middle and finally the aisle seats. Others, such as the method proposed in 2008 by Fermilab physicist Jason Steffen, take a more prescriptive approach, defining the precise order in which each passenger boards the plane.
In Steffen's scheme, passengers are boarded back to front, but in such a way that adjacent passengers in the line are seated two rows apart (12A followed by 10A and 8A, for example). This is done to ensure that each person has enough room to stow their bags. Those in window seats are also boarded before middle and aisle seats.
Now Steffen, along with the television producer Jon Hotchkiss, has done a series of experiments to try to work out which boarding method is the quickest. The experiment was filmed for a television programme called This vs That and you can watch the trailer above.
The measurements were made using a mock fuselage of a Boeing 757 aircraft in Studio City, California, that is normally usually used for film production. The "passengers" ranged in age from about 5 to 65 and were given hand luggage to load into lockers. The plane had 12 rows of six seats with one aisle running up the middle.
Using the traditional block boarding method, it took nearly seven minutes for all passengers to take their seats – more than two minutes longer than when the passengers boarded at random. The Wilma technique clocked in at just over four minutes, whereas Steffen's method was the quickest, taking about three and a half minutes to fill the plane.
However, the most surprising result occurred when the plane was boarded in back-to-front order. This started with the passenger in the rear right window seat, followed by the rear left window seat, the rear right middle seat and so on. This highly regimented method took over six minutes to fill the plane – showing that a free-for-all can be more efficient than a highly regimented plan.
You can read a preprint describing the experiment here.

When Angela Holm moved out of Charlesview Apartments years ago, she knew she would always remain a part of the tight-knit community she grew up in. Now she, along with local dignitaries and residents past and present, celebrated the grand opening of the new Charlesview Residences at Brighton Mills.
The 340-unit mixed-income, mixed-use development in Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood replaces a 213-unit housing development that served low and moderate income residents for more than 40 years. Designed by CBT Architects, the new development also includes an underground parking facility for more than 200 vehicles, common area amenities including a new computer center, and new streets and parks throughout the neighborhood.
A portion of the funding for the redevelopment comes from a land swap negotiated with Harvard University. The restructured project will be financed primarily through the Risk Sharing program and through equity raised under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program. HUD has played a critical role in helping port the HAP contract for the project. Two-hundred assisted units from the old Charlesview Apartments are transferring to the new redevelopment. Additionally, the new building was designed to a LEED® Silver certifiable standard, with a focus on energy efficiency and water management.
Located less than a half-mile from the former Charlesview Apartments, and in close proximity to public transportation, retail shops, restaurants and higher education institutions, Charlesview residents are eager and excited to move in to their new homes.

Onkyo TX-SR608 Pandora signal drop
I am feeding Pandora streaming audio from the app on my Samsung BD-C6800 3D Blu Ray Player to my Onkyo receiver. The audio drops out unexpectedly at the beginning of songs randomly. Sometimes it comes back on much later but it makes for an annoying streaming experience. I am using 1.4 HDMI cables throughout and I replaced the cable from the DVD player to the receiver. The Samsung 7000 series LCD TV shows the Pandorra song as continuing to stream but there is no sound. I have to switch the Onkyo DVD input to something (anything) different and then back to the DVD input and the sound resumes. I think it is something in the receiver dropping the signal. Onkyo tech blamed the cables which I changed to no avail.
I am frustrated with this and this receiver. Your help please.

text: It is early am Friday morning. I am being serenaded by a blustery wind careening off of my house as I sit inside, on a row of fabric hassocks, in the bay window of our living room, holding (and periodically sipping) a hot cup of coffee. My second this morning. Occasionally, the buffeting wind is joined by the soft sound of my husband's gentle snore, drifting from the first floor master suite, as he steals a few extra minutes of sleep before we head off to work. Less occasionally, the sound of a collar rife with various dog tags jingles as our puppy scratches or snuggles in deeper to my sleeping spouse, accenting the sounds of our home this morning. As if in answer to that, our grandfather clock begins it's chime, warning me the time has come to gather my wits and belongings and head out into the work world. But I hesitate, just a moment, hesitant to disturb this concert, enjoying these sounds that have become the orchestra of my life. And with the final chime of the clock, I give a gentle nod and silent applause, and rise to join the day, sad I could not freeze this moment and enjoy it longer, but grateful that it was mine to enjoy, if ever to briefly, none the less.

Well, today is decision day on the appeal that the Mets filed hoping that MLB would overturn the play that was scored a hit during R.A. Dickey's spectacular start against the Rays.
That one hit turned out to be the only one the Rays would get that day, and the masses are split as to whether it was actually a hit or an error by third baseman David Wright, who flubbed the play by trying to bare-hand it.
The Mets appealed to Major League Baseball, contending that B. J. Upton's first-inning infield single, which glanced off the bare hand of third baseman David Wright, should have been scored an error.
Wright was not happy when he was told about the appeal:
"That's their decision, but it's a little awkward when the team wants an error on its own player. Usually you're trying to appeal to do the reverse of that."
Ahh… Lets see what our MMO writers have to say about this latest Mets controversy.
Did the official scorer get it right when he ruled David Wright's play on B.J. Upton in the first inning of Dickey's one-hitter a hit? Do you think the ruling should be overturned?
XtreemIcon – I think the play was a hit whichever way Wright decided to play it. With Upton's speed, gloving the ball and transferring would have taken too long, and missing a bare-handed catch is simply not an error. I don't want to see it overturned.
Connor – I don't agree with the ruling. B.J. Upton's speed isn't a factor on a play like that. Maybe if it was a slow roller and David had to charge hard on the ball, then I'd agree with the ruling, but not on a routine grounder. However, I don't think the ruling should be overturned and I think it won't be. It would cheapen (to some people) the no-no because it didn't have the buildup, pressure, and excitement that stops so many pitchers from going all the way. Also, the experience is gone for the fans and the players themselves. Are they going to start jumping on R.A. Dickey if they hear the ruling via conference call? Probably not. I just don't see how it would benefit anyone to change the call.
Gregg – The way baseball has been scored in recent years, the official scorer was 100% correct in the way he scored the B.J. Upton ground ball to Wright. More often than not the scorers have been giving hits, when 20 years ago they would have been scored as errors. It's not right when dropped fly balls and hard ground balls that get misplayed go as hits instead of errors.
Joe S. – It should have been an error and the Mets need to let it go. Chaulk it up to the Baseball Gods evening things out for Johan's no-hitter that (if you account for Beltran's non-double) probably shouldn't have been but was. It's tough luck for Dickey but I bet he would agree the Force is in balance again.
Dave [Retire 31] – The original score should of been an error. Wright easily had a chance to catch the ball with his glove and throw Upton out. He tried to bare hand it and messed it up. Definite error. However, I don't think they should or will change the scoring. It just wouldn't feel the same, and I'm sure Dickey wouldn't want it to change either.
Tyler – Yes, the official scorer made the right ruling. It was not a sure thing Wright would have had him at first. I like that Collins is appealing for it to be changed, but it won't be changed.
Brandon – The way I see it, BJ Upton can fly around the basepaths. Even if David was able to barehand the groundball, Upton would have beaten it out. As much as I want to see another no-hitter, I don't believe the commissioner's office will overturn it. If they do, I'll be one shocked son of a gun.
Fonzie13 – When the play happened, I immediately thought it was an error based on BJ Uptons failure to bust it out of the box (He's a dog). So I felt Wright had time to glove it and make the throw. No way in hell should the play be overturned. I think by appealing TC is throwing Wright under the bus. The best part of a no-hitter is the anticipation of the last two innings and the pressure which wasn't there with a hit already on the board.
Jim – We have seen David Wright make that play (and other great plays) before. But you can't assume a great play, just like you can't assume a double play. It would have taken greater than normal effort to make that play, and thus the official scorer called it a base hit. I don't have a problem with that. If Wright was the one that hit the ball, I bet he would want a hit too, claiming that there was no way a third baseman would have been able to barehand the ball and make a running throw before the runner arrived safely to first. I like that the Mets are appealing, just in case. But I don't see this on getting overturned. Still, another gem from Dickey. Who really cares about the no-hitter, especially since the Mets now have one?
Jessep – I don't know if he ruled correctly. It's a home town call, scorekeepers are hired and have the right to make that call. I don't feel it's "obvious" one way or the other. Therefore, you leave it to the guy who has the job. I think overturning the call would be an embarrassment to the game, and to the moment. I don't blame Terry Collins for the appeal at all though.
Now it's time for you to weigh in… First was it a hit or an error, and second would you like to see the original ruling overturned?

Clarence Darrow is best known for being an American lawyer involved in some of the most famous trials of the 20th century (Scopes, Leopold & Loeb). What's less known is that he was a pessimist of the highest order, who believed life was a mistake and consciousness a burden. He frequently participated in debates with other well-known public figures on philosophical matters (often on a Sunday, now those were the days!).
Below are some addresses of the full debates. The top one contains links to a number of other philosophical contretemps he had during his life.
To provide a feast for the dark senses, I've compiled a collection of some of his juiciest observations below. Enjoy!
Darrow-Foster Debate 1917 "Is Life worth Living?"
Consciousness was born in pain and struggle. If the machine had
been running easily and automatically, everything would have
been all right, and there would have been no consciousness.
But, it was born because something was wrong. And it lives
through pain and struggle, and it dies in the end, and that is
all; death is the only relief from pain and struggle.
What is life? Pleasant tnoments? Yes. But from the
time the infant is twisted with his first stomach-ache, up to the
time of the death agony, pain is always present, and pretty
much the only time you are happy is when you are released
from pain; then you soon get bored.
What is life, anyway? For that is a practical question.
What is it that we should prize it so highly? Do any of you
dare tell the truth to yourselves? There is not a person in this
audience that dares tell himself the truth about life.
Do you
want to live your lives over, any of you! Would 1 want to?
Would anybody want to? There might be vagrant parts of
my life. strong sensations, pleasant memories. But barring
those, the time I would want to live over, would be the time 1
was asleep-that is the time I was dead-that is all. And
every weary person comes home at night happy in the thought
that he can sleep. And if he cannot sleep without it, he takes
dope to make him sleep, because forgetfulness is the best of all.
As we reach out and ask ourselves questions, understand
the futility of all of it, feel our own pain and the suffering of
our fellowmen, see life as life really is, then we are unhappy
and must be unhappy forever.
"Is life worth living?" 1920 Starr – Darrow
Work is good because it brings non-existence,
and that non-existence is the most tolerable of all the forms
of matter in life. There is no other answer to hard work.
And I know of almost no one who has studied the philosophy
of life but does not finally come up with the proposition that
the only thing that makes life tolerable, is hard work, so
you don't know^ you are living. So, I characterize hard work
as dope for life.
that if you got a certain amount of earth and heat and water—
if they were resolved into the simple elements—given these
elements in certain proportions under certain conditions, life
will develop, just as maggots will in a cheese. Does that
prove it is worth while? I cannot see it. It does not prove
it in any meaning of the words worth while. If it does prove
it, then everything is equally worth while, and the living man
is no more a part of nature than the corpse. And the well
man is no more a part of nature than the sick man. The
pleasurable emotion is no more a part of nature than the
painful emotion. The fact that it is here simply proves it is
here, that is all.
When I look back over
life, with the many pains 1 have suffered that happened, and
the many more 1 have suffered that did not happen, the
greatest satisfaction that 1 find in any of it is when I am
asleep. And, intellectually, I feel it will be the best thing
that can happen to me—to go to sleep again.
Life to me is a joke. That is the way I get by.
It is an awful joke.
"Foundations of Belief.
"Man, so far as natural science by itself is able to teach
us, is no longer the final cause of the universe, the Heavendescended
heir of all the ages. His very existence is an accident,
his story a brief and transitory episode in the life of one
of the meanest of the planets. Of the combination of causes
which first converted a dead organic compound into the living
progenitors of humanity, science indeed as yet knows nothing.
It is enough that from such beginnings famine, disease, and
mutual slaughter, fit nurses of the future lords of creation,
have gradually evolved, after infinite travail, a race with conscience
enough to feel that it is vile, and intelligence enough
to know that it is insignificant. We survey the past, and see
that its history is of blood and tears, of helpless blundering,
of wild revolt, of stupid acquiescence, of empty aspirations.
We sound the future, and learn that after a period, long compared
with the individual life, but short indeed compared with
the divisions of time open to our investigation, the energies
of our system will decay, the glory of the sun will be dimmed,
and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the
race which for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go
down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy
consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a
long space broken the' contented silence of the universe, will
be at rest. Matter will know^ itself no longer. "Imperishable
monuments" and "immortal deeds," death itself, and love
stronger than death, will be as though they had never been.
Nor will anything that is be better or be worse for all that the
labour, genius, devotion, and suffering of men have striven
through countless generations to effect."
Darrow-Starr Is Civilisation a Failure?
Civilization carries with it the germs of its own destruction,
and its physical destruction and its mental destruction, because
it is too far away from life. This is not a new question.
This is not a new civilization. Farther back than human history
can go-and there have been civilizations perhaps as
great as this at least-as far back as history can tell, there
have been civilizations which were most likely the equal of
this, that were the equal of this in every way that we can
measure the usefulness or the happinness of man. This world
even within historical times has been swept over and over
with civilizations which have grown and flourished and decayed,
and gone back to the primitive again.
Our civilization is just like the rest. To me, human life
is one great succession of barbarism, or savagery, of civilization,
of decay, back to barbarism and savagery, and again
on the to civilization and back. One thing after
another. But we people like every other people of the world,
live in the present, live for today, close our eyes to the past
and never dream of the future. We believe that this civilization
is the only civilization the world has ever seen; and
if it is going upward it will go on and on and on until man will
have a brain as tall as a flag pole. He can live on ideals,
although everybody knows that ideals do not go with civilization!
An intelligence test of nearly two
million boys between twenty and thirty, twenty being the age
put down in the test as being the time when the faculties are
perhaps the most alert. Not a test of knowledge, but a test
of intelligence and, coming from the great mass of young men
of the United States, between twenty and thirty. This test
shows that of our intelligent young men of America of those
between twenty and thirty, ten per cent average ten years of
age. That is the moron age. Fifteen per cent average eleven
years of age. Twenty-five per cent of all of them, thirteen
and a half years of age. Seventy per cent of all of them, of
all the young men of America, run below fourteen years of
age. Now, that is what we get out of civilization.
First, there is no evidence that the brain
power of civilized man is any better than the brain power of
the barbarous man. I think perhaps Professor Starr will agree
with me on that. If he can think of enough other things to
say I am sure he will agree with me on that. The brain power
is very poor and very weak. They are living on the verge
of want; they have no education; they could get along pretty
well with an easy life; they could get along in a land that was
not civilized; they could live in tribes where people live simple
and close to Nature. But, around these people is built the
environment of civilization, an environment which sends a
great mass of them to jail, to the insane asylums, and to institutions;
an environment that is too strong for the ordinary
man, no matter whether he is savage or civilized; and they are
decaying, and decaying fast.
We have reared a monster which we call civilization:
which leaves the great mass of men entirely unfitted for the
structure we have built; and they wander around blindly in
this dizzy maze until they destroy what there is and go back;
go back to the barbarism from whence they came; and we
go over the old, old weary round again. The great mass of
men are like the great mass of animals, of whom they are
a part. They must live close to life; they must live close to
Nature. Civilization cannot possibly maintain itself. I am
not obsessed of the human race. Perhaps the best thing that
could happen to it would be to die. But, it is not going to
die; that is the trouble with it.
Let me see what civilization does for the human race.
Build a high stone wall, north and south across Chicago, and
fence in about a mile adjoining the lake-that puts all of us
swells in that pen where we ought to be-and in two hundred
years, if we had no contact with the outside world, nobody
would be alive. They cannot produce life and they cannot
sustain life, and life comes from the primitive peoples who
are near Nature, who are near the source of supplies; from
those primitive peoples who come to us from other countries.
from those who have not been infected and destroyed by this
wonderful civilization which is the glory of everybody who
does not think about it!
Life cannot be sustained except through the primitive, and
the trouble with civilization-one trouble-it will not even
destroy life, because there will always be left enough of the
uncivilized to take up life where civilization throws it down,
and carry it on. Life is everlastingly being preserved by the
primitive people of the world and going over the same old
weary round.
The idea that
some evolutionists believe in-I don't know why-that insistent
in life itself is beneficience; which is another religious
idea, for beneficience implies consciousness, and the evolutionist
of the Ingersoll type, has imply taken God out of
the skies and put him into man and now you can see how
and what he looks Eike. Both of them are utterly unscientific;
purely religious; have no basis in fact; and cannot be proven
by any of the experiences of human life!
live together in masses. Well, now, let us see about it.
The ability to live together in masses. Why in masses? I
am inclined to think that a great city is the most striking
evidence of disease that civilization has furnished. Why
should the human race live together in masses? They are
drawn together because the ideal of civilization is money.
And this ideal is responsible for every really great city on
the face of the earth today. And, it is destroying itself.
Why isn't the more primitive life of man, where he lived'
further apart and roamed a greater area, a more natural state
of man, and after all, a happier state for the great mass of
men who live upon the earth? Now what is our ability to
live together in masses? And is it a success or failure? How
do we do it? Why, I will tdl you how we do it. Take
Chicago, New York or London. Now about three per cent
have nearly all there is; they have most of all the lands, and
the wealth and the accumulated stores that the labor of the
- world gives; and they live together in manses, how? Why,
by hiring lawyers and policemen! By building jails; by keeping
the masses at bay by main force and by fear. And do you
suppose a civilization like this could rest, except through fear?
Not for a moment. Do you suppose two or three per cent
of the human beings of civilized communities could own everything
there is and see the great majority livinq close to want
and still live together in masses, except by the club and by
the jail? Is that a success?
No such condition of gross inequality, of hopeless brutality,
can be pointed to, I believe, amongst the uncivilized peoples
of the earth. The gross inequality and injustice which civilization
has given to the world is preserved as distinctions were
preserved in barbarism, by the club and by fear. And the
preachers and the teachers and the lawyers would never think
that they had created a civilization where a man could go to
sleep at night unless a policeman was etanding outside his
door with a club. Now, that is our civilization. And this
handful of civilized people who are the owners of civilization
and the dictators of life and of liberty, are kept alive by an
army of doctors, examining their blood, making tests, hunting
germs, vaccinating them for smallpox, for diptheria, taking
out appendix, adenoids, and pulling out whatever teeth
they have left. Everything to keep this bunch alive. Why,
look at the mass of lawyers, doctors, -policemen, jailers, newspapermen,
that are called in to aid to keep up this civilization!
Where men do not live together in masses because they know
the art of living together in masses; but where the chief pursuit
is some form of robbery, and -overreaching and where
men are held together by force and nothing else. Is it a
success! I will have to go to the dictionary and see if I can
find a new definition of success.
The Story of My Life
I am inclined to believe that the most satisfactory part of life is the time spent in sleep, when one is utterly oblivious to existence; next best is when one is so absorbed in activities that one is altogether unmindful of self.
I am satisfied that no one with a moderate amount of intelligence can tolerate life, if he looks it squarely in the face, without welcoming whatever soothes and solaces, and makes one forget.
Nothing is so cruel, so wanton, so unfeeling as Nature; she moves with the weight of a glacier carrying everything before her. In the eyes of Nature, neither man nor any of the other animals mean anything whatever. The rock-ribbed mountains, the
tempestuous sea, the scorching desert, the myriad weeds and insects and wild beasts that infest the earth, and the noblest man, are all one. Each and all are helpless against the cruelty and immutability of the resistless processes of Nature.
Whichever way man may look upon the earth, he is oppressed with the suffering incident to life. It would almost seem as though the earth had been created with malignity and hatred. If we look at what we are pleased to call the lower animals, we behold a universal carnage. We speak of the seemingly peaceful woods, but we need only look beneath the surface to be horrified by the misery of that underworld. Hidden in the grass and watching for its prey is the crawling snake which swiftly darts upon the toad or mouse and gradually swallows it alive; the hapless animal is crushed by the jaws and covered with slime, to be slowly digested in furnishing a meal. The snake knows nothing about sin or pain inflicted upon another; he automatically grabs insects and mice and frogs to preserve his life. The spider carefully weaves his web to catch the unwary fly, winds him into the fatal net until paralyzed and helpless, then drinks his blood and leaves him an empty shell. The hawk swoops down and snatches a chicken and carries it to its nest to feed its young. The wolf pounces on the lamb and tears it to shreds. The cat watches at the hole of the mouse until the mouse cautiously comes out, then with seeming fiendish glee he plays with it until tired of the game, then crunches it to death in his jaws. The beasts of the jungle roam by day and night to find their prey; the lion is endowed with strength of limb and fang to destroy and devour almost any animal that it can surprise or overtake. There is no place in the woods or air or sea where all life is not a carnage of death in terror and agony. Each animal is a hunter, and in turn is hunted, by day and night. No landscape is so beautiful or day so balmy but the cry of suffering and sacrifice rends the air. When night settles down over the earth the slaughter is not abated. Some creatures see best at night, and the outcry of the dying and terrified is always on the wind. Almost all animals meet death by violence and through the most agonizing pain. With the whole animal creation there is nothing like a peaceful death. Nowhere in nature is there the slightest evidence of kindness, of consideration, or a feeling for the suffering and the weak, except in the narrow circle of brief family life.
Man furnishes no exception to the rule. He seems to add the treachery and deceit that the other animals in the main do not practice, to all the other cruelties that move his life. Man has made himself master of the animal world and he uses his power to serve only his own ends. Man, at least, kills helpless animals for the pleasure of killing, alone.
for man himself there is little joy. Every child that is born upon the earth arrives through the agony of the mother. From childhood on, the life is full of pain and disappointment and sorrow. From beginning to end it is the prey of disease and misery; not a child is born that is not subject to disease. Parents, family, friends, and acquaintances, one after another die, and leave us bereft. The noble and the ignoble life meets the same fate. Nature knows nothing about right and wrong, good and evil, pleasure and pain; she simply acts. She creates a beautiful woman, and places a cancer on her cheek. She may create an idealist, and kill him with a germ. She creates a fine mind, and then burdens it with a deformed body. And she will create a fine body, apparently for no use whatever. She may destroy the most wonderful life when its work has just commenced. She may scatter tubercular germs broadcast throughout the world. She seemingly works with no method, plan or purpose. She knows no mercy nor goodness. Nothing is so cruel and abandoned as Nature. To call her tender or charitable is a travesty upon words and a stultification of intellect. No one can suggest these obvious facts without being told that he is not competent to judge Nature and the God behind Nature. If we must not judge God as evil, then we cannot judge God as good. In all the other affairs of life, man never hesitates to classify and judge, but when it comes to passing on life, and the responsibility of life, he is told that it must be good, although the opinion beggars reason and intelligence and is a denial of both.
Intellectually, I am satisfied that life is a serious burden, which no thinking, humane person would wantonly inflict on some one else.

Texas Mutual Victorious on Appeal of Sanctions Imposed by Lower Court
Mar 17, 2010, 18:34 ET from Texas Mutual Insurance Company
AUSTIN, Texas, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The Texas Fifth District Court of Appeals (Dallas) issued an opinion on March 16, 2010, ruling that sanctions imposed against Texas Mutual Insurance Company related to a workers' compensation case were improper. The court reversed the sanctions judgment against Texas Mutual.
The Court of Appeals found that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding sanctions against Texas Mutual. The court found no evidence of fraudulence or document falsification and no evidence that Texas Mutual acted in bad faith, thus providing a full exoneration of Texas Mutual's conduct.
The court also held that summary judgment in Juan Narvaez's favor required reversal and remand to the lower court.
In 2008, the trial court granted a summary judgment and sanctions against Texas Mutual in a case involving Narvaez's workers' compensation claim for what he said was an on-the-job injury. Texas Mutual had disputed the claim based on co-worker testimony that Narvaez was not hurt on the job. Narvaez appealed that denial in a case that was eventually tried in the 68th Judicial District Court in Dallas County.
"We are delighted, but not surprised, that the Court of Appeals recognized Texas Mutual's good faith and overturned the district court's judgment against our company," Mary Barrow Nichols, general counsel and senior vice president for Texas Mutual, said. "We were confident that we handled this case appropriately and that the appellate court would fully vindicate the company, as it has done."
The full ruling by the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeals can be found at www.texasmutual.com.

Waking up in his dorm room on that September morning, Dennis Dottin-Carter turned to his television to see if it would be a nice weather day. Football players like to know if they'll be dealing with afternoon heat at practice.
"I saw the first building fall. I saw the plane hit the second building. It was so surreal. I couldn't stop watching."
No one could take their eyes off the images of the attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Dottin-Carter was a 21-year-old defensive end for the University of Maine and just another person watching his world change in front of his eyes. He learned another plane hit the Pentagon and his thoughts and fears went to his mother at work in a federal building in Boston.
Was she OK? A phone call confirmed that she was.
Ten years later the memories are still fresh. Dottin-Carter is the defensive line coach at Maine, his third season on Jack Cosgrove's staff. Maine football was the community he turned to on that anxious day. Just as so many other student-athletes sought reassurance on other campuses, Dottin-Carter leaned on his coaches and teammates.
"Coach Cosgrove didn't try to sugarcoat anything. He was a very good leader. He told us to make sure our families were OK. You don't know how much comfort he was to us. I had family in Brooklyn, too, and I made sure I called them."
Four planes hijacked and turned into flying bombs. Thousands of innocent lives lost. The fractious society that is America quickly closed ranks. What happened at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in a Pennsylvania field, where the fourth plane went down after the passengers fought back made it all very, very personal.
George Towle, the University of Southern Maine's women's cross country coach, was on his way to the Back Cove area of Portland for a morning run with a couple of his runners. He didn't pay close attention to the early reports of what was initially called a small aircraft flying into one of the World Trade Center towers.
After the run he learned a whole lot more. "One of my runners (Tiffany Cook) was the wife of a Navy pilot (stationed at the Brunswick Naval Air Station). Her reaction hit close to home."
Towle returned to his office on the Gorham campus. He didn't call a formal meeting of his team because so many of his runners were stopping by his office anyway. "They were numbed. We all were just blankly watching TV.
"There was a kind of uneasiness. But when you're young and haven't been scarred enough to get the bigger picture, you're still waiting for answers."
Steve Quinones, USM's women's soccer coach at the time, was trying to reach his mother, who worked next to the World Trade Center. He couldn't reach her at first and his panic brought support from others.
USM AD Al Bean was on the phone with Rick Simonds, his counterpart at St. Joseph's. Each made the decision that their teams should not play and should not travel. "We talked about the situation and how we could and should support students and staff who were having great difficulty with what had happened," said Bean.
"It was a violation like nothing most of us had ever experienced and now we know things will never quite be the same. We had been attacked on our soil and that was new and very unsettling. I felt sick for those killed in the towers and all the others who lost their lives."
By the time Bob Russo unlocked the door to the Portland Boxing Club for the nightly workout, the news was about 10 hours old. "It was solemn, very quiet, like I've never heard it before," said Russo. "Our parents had Pearl Harbor but this was something we had never seen before. What a blow. Then came the rage."
Maine had opened its football season with a win over Colgate days before Sept. 11. Its second game with North Dakota State in Fargo was canceled. Cosgrove told those players who wanted to leave campus to do so and hug their families.
"Coach put things into perspective for us," said Dottin-Carter. "I count my blessings now."

Obamacare is a Noble Effort..
But it was flawed from the start. Obamacare was passed on lies, deceit and blackmail. It was formed behind closed doors by the furthest left of center people in Government. It was sold to the moderates in the democrat party by bullies who threatened their careers. Obamacare was passed and signed into law without one single Republican vote. Not even the biggest RINO's in the party signed on to this law.
I say that Obamacare was a noble effort because it was. I have no issue with trying to cover all AMERICANS health care. I think it's a great idea if it's done right.
But nothing can be done with this Obamacare disaster. It must be removed from the law books before the right solution to the issue can be obtained. The foundation of this Obamacare house is not only wobbly, it's sinking and it's built on toothpicks holding up steel. The foundation is the most important part of any structure and this Obamacare foundation is wrecked!
In order to fix the foundation, you have to demolish the top to get to it. What Obama is doing, is building more stories on top.
America needs to realize that the only way to fix Obamacare is to undo it totally and start over. That will require the left to admit they failed. That will not happen, they can't admit Bill Clinton had an affair in the oval office. This is much bigger.
If Republicans can put out a message in 2014 that they can do better at fixing the healthcare problem than the democrats can, using free market solutions coupled with government oversight and some compassion to those TRULY in need. The Republicans can sweep all parts of Government.
The fact is, those of us on the right want to help people in need. Like a father wants to help his children through tough times. Mom may want to coddle the kid, even if the kid is 25 yrs old. Dad is going to see very quick that a 25 yr old kid who is playing video games all day and partying all night, might need more than coddling. A father might be first to say, "look ya little shit, get the F–K out and find a job." Is the dad wrong? Would the dad be considered an uncaring father? NO. The father wants his kid to wake up and become an adult. Does that mean he cares less than mom? NOPE it means the father has had enough of enabling and is ready to fix the problem.
That's what America needs now.
America needs some tough love from the Father in house.

Giffords Shooter Identified as Jared Loughner (Photo)
The shooter of Gabrielle Giffords, Judge John Rell and others in Tuscon, Arizona has been identified as 22 year-old Jared Loughner of Tuscon, Arizona.
Loughner was a student at Pima Community College. The photo was grabbed from his MySpace page before it was taken down.
Loughner's observations offered up on YouTube were devoted to a variety of themes. He was apparently angered by something that had happened at Pima Community College and felt he was being ripped off, but it's not clear what triggered it. At one point he identifies himself as an Army recruit.
To the extent that his videos are political, they appear to be libertarian-leaning. He was apparently a gold bug: "I won't pay debt with a currency that's not backed by gold and silver!" he says. He also has issues with the whether his community college is operating in violation of the 10th amendment, though it's not clear why.
His YouTube page hosts 5 videos, one of which is entitled "Introduction: Jared Loughner." It was posted on December 15, and opens with the words "My Final Thoughts: Jared Lee Loughner!":
The videos are essentially a series of syllogisms rendered in white text on a black screen. In the Introduction" video, he talks about terrorism:
"If i define terrorist then a terrorist is a person who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a political weapon.
I define terrorist.
Thus, a terrorist is a person who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a political weapon.
If you call me a terrorist then the argument to call me a terrorist is Ad hominem.
You call me a terrorist.
Thus, the argument to call me a terrorist is Ad hominem.
He says he "is a United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phonenix," and as such, he is "receiving one mini bible before the tests." He says "I didn't write a belief on my Army application, and the recruiter wrote on the application: None."
He encourages people to read the Constitution in order to "apprehend of the current treasonous laws." He appears to be more paranoid than political, however, and concludes "The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar."
Update: As Dr. Jeff Kaye notes, Loughner sounds schizophrenic.
Update II: According to a friend of Giffords who is reporting from the hospital, she was shot from behind and the bullet exited her forehead. She is now in eye surgery.
Update III: MNBC is reporting that Giffords was shot from the front, and that the bullet exited the back of her head.

Thanks for asking this question, Musse.
Thread: The most Aldehydic perfumes?
What perfumes do you think are the most Aldehydic ones?
Chanel no. 5 must be one of them - or???
I don`t like no. 5 on me. A couple of others that I`m not able to appreciate are Youth Dew, Aromatics Elixir and L`Air du Temps. Can you see any similarity in those?
I`m thinking maybe it`s the Aldehyde I don`t like, what do you think?
BTW: What is Aldehyde?
Thx in advance :-* (the ignorant & lazy Musse)
Thanks for asking this question, Musse.
"I live in the garden, I just sleep in the house." -- Jim Long
I find La Myrrhe by SL Salons du Palais Royal very aldehydic. It's a bit like a very soapy N°5 on steroids with a bitter topnote.
I don't like all aldehydic fragrances but a few of my very favorites happen to be from that family: L'Air du Temps, N°5, Arpège...
I also like very much several less aldehydic florals like: Fleur de Rocaille (original), Chant d'Arômes and Ombre Rose.
I find the aldehyde part of the equation hard to figure out also.
I know what it's described to be - a class of artificial floral chemicals that give expansion and sparkle to a fragrance. Chanel #5 used aliphatic aldehydes in dominant proportions for the first time in any fine fragrance. It was discovered blending aliphatic aldehydes with Ylang Ylang made them usable as before this attempts to use them were unsuccessful. Even today when aldehydes are used in substantial percentages of a formulation it is hard to find them being used without Ylang Ylang.
I understand it may be a matter of proportion, as most fragrances have them now. But there are some florals that strike me the same way and aren't described as being aldehydic, and vice versa. So I don't feel I have a handle on aldehydic fragrances at all.
I don't know that Aromatics Elixir and Youth Dew are considered aldehydic. They're chypres, which you might not like, but #5 and L'Air Du Temp aren't.
While waiting for our Basenote chemists to elaborate on this: The little I know about aldehydes is that they appear when some*alcohols oxicide and dehydrate. This process is reflected in the name; dehydrated alcohol.....experts, please come in and kick me if I am treating the subject with disrespect *;D *:-/ *;D ! But are all aldehydes liquids? Some of them are fragrant liquids anyway. Heliotropin, for example, is the fragrant aldehyde ocurring in vanilla and heliotrope. Then there is the peach aldehyde in Chanel No 5...now I have seen some conflicting information about wether this is scientifically an aldehyde or not, but in perfumery it seems still to be treated like one.Originally Posted by musse
Now, I am sure someone can give a more informative answer on this subject, since this one also included a few questions *
edit: sorry, I didn´t see flathorns answer: interesting about the Ylang Ylang!
Thanks for your kind answers, everyone!
(btw; cedriceccentric - I love Ombre Rose, too!)
I'm being lazy too, so here's a link:
Scroll down to "What are aldehydes?"
Thx, Concord!
Great link, not only for the aldehydes - think I`ll book-mark this one
Thanks for an interesting thread! I was glad to learn that some fragrances are not as heavy on the aldehydes as are others since I tend not to be able to wear certain aldehydic fragrances such as Chanel No 5 and Arpege.
Hello, Peachlover62!
Welcome to Basenotes
We have a lot of fun here, hope you`ll do a lot of posting :-*
Definitely Arpege next to no.5. Also Rive Gauche.
'I am not difficult, I am definite!' - Hedy Lamarr
I'll have to say: Chanel N5, Arpège, Je Reviens(worth 1932), Detchema(revillion 1953), Mme.Rochas(1960), Climat (lancome), Infini(caron), on a less intensity but still very much aldehydic: White linen, White linen breeze, Esteé Super(1969), Calandre(paco rabanne), Ferré By Ferré, Tocadilly(rochas), Reverié (gloria Vanderbilt), also Noa has a nice aldehydic tone to it.

Alex Rodriguez Playing the Field Again!by Free Britney at . Comments
Divorce and baseball woes - Cynthia Rodriguez is poised to take tens of millions of his money and the Yankees are 10 games out of first in the American League East - don't seem to be keeping slugger Alex Rodriguez down.
A-Rod was spotted in two differnt cities squiring two cuties last week - including one who sources say looks younger version of his estranged wife.
Rodriguez stepped out with a mystery blonde last Wednesday night, starting with a cozy dinner at Dan Marino's restaurant in South Beach.
No word on whether the potential new base-rounding partner is Alex's type (a.k.a. able to bench press a small car like Joslyn Morse).
The duo showed up around 9 p.m. and shared a "fairly animated" conversation, spies told Page Six. "They looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves."
So much so that the third baseman and his date left the eatery and walked to nearby nightspot Bougainvillea. There, they sat at a secluded outside table that was shielded from prying eyes by some well-placed shrubbery.
Alex appears to have moved on from Cynthia Rodriguez quickly.
As Alex Rodriguez and his mystery woman got up to leave around 1 a.m., the pair seemed surprised to be greeted by a celebrity gossip photographer.
Once spotted, A-Rod ran away, "trying to make out like he wasn't with her," said the source. Realizing that witnesses weren't buying the ploy, Alex said, "This is nothing. She's an old friend of mine. Leave us alone."
Back in New York on Sunday, Rodriguez hit the roof of Soho House with a tall Asian beauty with "good hair," sources report.
And this time, instead of trying to pretend he wasn't with a woman, A-Rod - decked out in jeans, a white T-shirt and black patent-leather Nikes - was "out-of-his-way nice" to the staff. "He seemed in great spirits."
Just after 11 p.m., his date made her way downstairs, with A-Rod following a few minutes behind her. Then they jumped into a hybrid SUV and took off.
This isn't the first time A-Rod has been linked to two women at the same time. Although it's doubtful a threesome took place here.

Post subject: My experiences
Hello to you all,
My name is Jo, I'm in England and I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I wanted to share my Lemurian connection with you.
Last year I had several attunements to Lemurian energies. I don't know what drew me to try it, I'd never even heard of Lemuria at that point but it just attracted me and so I did it. I didn't know what to expect so when I entered a meditation state I was excited and hopeful and had an open mind.
First of all, I saw my Guides lifting me up and carrying me along a path, every so often they would set me down before various people I've encountered in my life who have really hurt me, and they allowed me to express my pain and release it before moving me on to the next part of my journey.
I felt myself lifting very high in to the air and it was so peaceful. I saw a beautiful temple coming in to my vision, and all of a sudden the air sparkled, as if it was full of glitter. I realised my Guides were bringing me closer to the ground in the center of the temple, and in to the middle of a group of people who were stood in a circle formation.
I stood in the circle and gazed around me, and one of the people approached me and handed me a bunch of daffodils. Now I was really taken aback at this, they're not my favourite flowers even! I noticed that no one spoke, but they were so welcoming to me, their faces said everything I needed to know if that makes sense.
This was my first attunement, so I awakened and realised first of all I felt as if a burden had been lifted off me, I felt so free and joyful! I sat at my PC and decided to research the meaning of daffodils, only to find they are the birth flower for March, and my Birthday is in March! lol.
During my next attunement I found myself in a dome shaped cave. The cave was lit, and yet I saw no light sources only that it seemed to appear from the floor. I walked over to a wall in this cave where I could see images whizzing by, like a film on high speed. I stared at it trying to make sense of the images when they slowed right down and I saw peoples faces going by me, but none I recognised. I suddenly became aware of a smallish person stood next to me, and they took my hand. I turned to look back at the images, and saw me! I gasped in shock, and the small person said to me "You're part of the family now, along with all of the others" and I realised that all of the peoples images I was seeing, including my own, must be part of the Lemurian family.
On my next attunement, my Guide led me down a narrow cave passage and I came out on to a rock ledge high above a valley. I looked down and what greeted my eyes was so beautiful and wondrous that it brought tears to my eyes. Flowers, trees, crystals, temples, of the most amazing and vibrant colours lay before me. I turned to my Guide who smiled and indicated I should make my way in to the valley.
I walked down a steep path until I found myself walking among the things of beauty, flowers, trees...such amazing beauty. I saw tall, slim people walking about, but they seemed to glide almost they were so graceful. They smiled at me as if they knew me. I found myself in what I was telepathically told was a "Hall of learning". The floor glowed with colours I've never seen before, and huge crystal shapes were around the hall which glowed and emitted high pitched but amazing sounds when they were touched by hands. The sound they gave out was a method of teaching if you understand me? You touched them, and learnt things by their sounds. I was then led in to a healing room, where the walls glowed with colour and there was a crystal bed for me to lay on. "Elders" came in the room and gave me healing on this crystal bed, music I;ve never heard the likes of before floated around me.
I so didn't want to leave this place, I felt a real sense of loss as I awoke, but knew I had the ability to return there whenever I wished, so I took comfort from that.
On my next attunement, I was taken in to a huge, huge round shaped cave. In the center of it was the biggest clear crystal I've ever seen! It came through the floor and seemed to go through the ceiling, and silent waves of magnificent power emanated from it. I asked the meaning of this crystal, and was raised up, and it's like I was overhead looking in. I could see endless caves feeding off this chamber that I was in, and the waves of power I mentioned, radiated in to all areas of these caves, including the one I stood in where I saw the images of people whizzing by me. This was their source of power, and what gave the caves light (as I've mentioned already, I did wonder where the light source came from!)
The above is a shorter version of some of my experiences, may I ask your opinions of what I saw, felt, heard?
My love of all things Lemurian has gone from strength to strength and I've since acquired Lemurian Seed crystals of my own, I have often returned to the valley I spoke of, and spent time with the Lemurian people, the honour, the blessing, the love I feel for them, is nothing I can describe.
My love to you all,
Jo xx

Post subject: Lemurian connections
Hi Jo,
Welcome to our mystic world
, good to see you here.
Thank you for sharing your Lemurian experiences. Beautiful!!! It seems like we both have very
similar experiences
, specially the lifting up very high in the air, wasnt that out worldly?
And then all these trees, flowers and all that beauty. There is definitely some reality we are experiencing, present, past, future whatever that might be.
You mentioned no one talking to you, I have got the same experience, I could only understood what they were saying or meaning but I think it was more telepathic. I think what we saw were more thought projections than physical beings.
Also like you after each meditation I felt lots of releases and felt much lighter.
People you describe tall and slim, thats exactly how I saw them, slim and tall with long faces, blue eyes and white hair. I think once you get connected to their Loving energy your life cannot be the same.
I have my crystals for a few years now and never got so connected to them, I had few glimpses before and one
healing meditation
but nothing like what I experienced in my 3 days of meditation. I think once we get connected, the information keeps flooding into our beings. After I had these amazing experiences, I noticed the other Lemurians really vibrate in my hand, so strong like if they have to tell me something. I have one in my car and every time I touch it, I feel so clam and relaxed, I better stop touching that crystal cause its not safe to OBE while driving.
Lemurians came to our boosting sessions before, so would be interesting to do a session just on that, to connect with them.
From my understanding Lemurians want to communicate with us and pass their knowledge to us I think our consciousness is raising and NOW we are able to reach higher states where we can access our so called psychic abilities which in fact we all have, but most doubt them because of our mind conditioned by society, family etc.
Those crystals are like computers that have passwords to get in, and once you know the password the whole world opens up to you, like our internet, its vast. I think when the time comes more people will get connected with this sacred knowledge. What I think happened in your case you were given the password to enter the information of the larger crystals of the Earth. If the little ones hold so much information, imagine what the big ones hold.
Take a look at this Crystal Cave of the Giants also called the Cave of Dream, the Discovery of the Largest Crystals on Earth in southern Chihuahua Mexico.
Wishing all of us magnificent connections,

But it seems that mich of this "Democracy Inititive" is intended to make the political process itself essentially closed to conservatives. It's transforming the electorate demographically by importing undocumented Democrats; jiggering the Electoral college; giving the vote to felons, the mentally incapacitated and others currently disqualified; bringing in masses of Lo-Fo's by making voting, or at least registration, practically mandatory, etc. This must be fought as a special priority.
I mean, once you have a hundred million new voters, it doesn't matter what the Constitution says. It would be like a paper fence to restrain a stadium crowd. --- until the whole damn sysem breaks down because there aren't enough producers/taxpayers anymore.
Then, there will be blood.
I confess myself to be so mesmerized by peripherals I often miss the big picture.

`` The Federal Reserve could expand its stimulus package to include assets other than mortgage-backed securities if the U.S. economy fails to respond to its latest effort to jump-start the economy. "Unlike our past asset-purchase programs, this one doesn't have a preset expiration date," said San Francisco Fed President John Williams at a speech at the City Club on Monday. "Instead, it is explicitly linked to what happens with the economy."''

Serb-run Northern Kosovo will be on the agenda of the January meeting between the EU's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, and the Kosovo and Serbian leaders.
Kosovo's Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci and his Serbian counterpart, Ivica Dacic, are to meet again in Brussels on January 17 within the framework of the EU-mediated dialogue on normalization of relations between both parties.
On 17 January, Ashton and both Prime Ministers will meet to review progress made, especially on implementation of a border agreement, and, as agreed on 4 December, they will also discuss northern Kosovo, Ashton's Deputy Spokesperson, Sebastien Brabant, told BIRN.
The Serb-run northern segment of Kosovo is beyond the remit of the Kosovo government, does not acknowledge the authority of Kosovo's instution, nor recognises Kosovo's independence from Serbia, proclaimed in 2008.
The Kosovo authorities had previously announced that they would raise the issue of Serbian government-financed so-called "parallel institutions" operating in the north of Kosovo, but Ashton's office did not clarify whether they would, in fact, feature in the discussion.
The upcoming Thaci-Ashton-Dacic meeting is scheduled to be held more than a week after Serbia's parliament discusses the Serbian government's agreed "platform" on Kosovo.
The document, which is expected to dominate a parliamentary session in Belgrade next week, demands a high level of territorial and political autonomy for Serbian municipalities in Kosovo.
Kosovo's government has dismissed the plan, saying it "cannot be realized in any circumstances".
Bekim Collaku, a political advisor to Kosovo's Prime Minister, on Thursday described the Serbian platform on Kosovo as "ridiculous".
"Its political and practical importance in the context of the dialogue is zero," Collaku told the local media.
The EU-led dialogue aiming to normalize relations between Pristina and Belgrade was launched in March 2011. In October 19, the level of the talks was raised, and the main role in the process given to Thaci and Dacic.
Seven agreements were reached during nine rounds of talks on issues such as freedom of movement, regional cooperation, recognition of diplomas, the civil registry and Integrated Border Management, IBM.
On December 10, 2012, Kosovo and Serbia started to implement the IBM deal at the crossing points in Merdare and Jarinje, and from December 31 the agreement has also been implemented at the crossing points of Brnjak and Dheu i Bardhe.
Brussels agreement has left Serbs in north Kosovo uncertain about what the future holds - and whether they should remain at all.
A summary of the key events leading up to tensions in northern Kosovo.

Matt Barkley and Logan Thomas' Performances Raise Red Flags in Week 3 LossesSeptember 16, 2012
USC's Matt Barkley and Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas began the 2012 season as the two most talked-about eligible quarterback prospects for the 2013 NFL draft. However, we're only three weeks into the season, and already there are some serious questions and concerns surrounding both of them.
Both Barkley and Thomas were on the wrong end of the two biggest upsets of the third Saturday of the season.
Barkley's Trojans were stunned by Stanford 21-14 on the road, while Thomas' Hokies were clobbered 35-17 at Pitt. Neither player performed well in a losing effort.
Barkley completed just 20 of his 41 attempts, threw two interceptions and was sacked five times in his fourth straight loss to the Cardinal. Thomas completed just 14 of his 31 pass attempts, threw three interceptions and ran for just 28 yards.
The two quarterbacks' severe struggles this early in the season certainly must have NFL scouts concerned.
Going into the season, one of the big questions about Barkley was whether he would be able to handle the spotlight and pressure that came with being hailed the preseason Heisman favorite and the front-runner to be the No. 1 overall pick.
After putting up huge numbers against inferior opponents in the first two weeks of the season, the senior signal-caller finally had the national stage against a quality opponent to show the college football world he was deserving of the hype, and he blew the opportunity.
Thomas' biggest weaknesses are considered his inconsistent accuracy and spotty decision-making, and both of those were highlighted with a poor passing performance against the Panthers.
The road to the NFL draft is a marathon, not a sprint, so there's certainly still plenty of time for both players to redeem themselves in the months to come.
Still, this obviously isn't what you want to see from the two supposed star quarterback prospects of the 2013 NFL draft so early in the season.
Thomas is just a junior, and he could always return for his senior year instead of declaring for the 2013 draft if he doesn't have the campaign this season that many were expecting.
Barkley, on the other hand, now has to be wondering if choosing to return to USC instead of opting to declare for the 2012 draft, in which he almost certainly would have been the No. 3 overall pick, was truly the right decision.
After Saturday's loss, there's now about a 95 percent chance that the much-ballyhooed quarterback will not be winning the BCS championship or the Heisman Trophy that he hoped to claim this season.
The Trojans quarterback still does have the chance to fulfill the destiny that sports media set up for him in the offseason and become the No. 1 overall pick of the 2013 NFL draft. However, there's no doubt that his image has been tarnished, and his reputation as an elite franchise quarterback prospect will now be second-guessed by many critics and naysayers.
The good news for Barkley and Thomas is that they aren't the only top quarterback prospects that already have blemishes on their 2012 records. Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, N.C. State's Mike Glennon, Tennessee's Tyler Bray and Washington's Keith Price have all tasted defeat as well this season.
There are two highly-touted Big 12 senior quarterbacks, West Virginia's Geno Smith and Oklahoma's Landry Jones, who now have the opportunity to really make a move up the quarterback pecking order. Smith and Jones are each capable of potentially leapfrogging Barkley and becoming the new No. 1 quarterback prospect if they play up to their potential this season.
It will all work itself out in the coming months. Right now, though, it appears that Barkley and Thomas may not be the true slam-dunk elite prospects that they were originally made out to be.
Both of them have the potential to still end up as top-10 draft picks in 2013. However, after this weekend, they've obviously got some work to do in order to rehabilitate and repair their damaged draft stock.
