The Supreme Court announced today that it will hear a critical voting rights case next year. Arizona has appealed a 9th Circuit decision that barred the state from requiring proof of citizenship from those registering to vote via a federally-approved registration form. Current federal law allows voters to register via federal form instead of a state-specific form. Those opting to do so must swear under penalty of perjury that they are citizens. Arizona's law, which is currently stayed, would require voters using that form to jump over an extra hurdle to register, requiring them to show proof of their citizenship, a provision disproportionately affecting low-income and minority voters.
The AP explains:
The ruling applies only to people who seek to register using the federal mail-in form. Arizona has its own form and an online system to register when renewing a driver's license. The court ruling did not affect proof of citizenship requirements using the state forms.
Arizona officials have said most people use those methods and the state form is what county officials give people to use to register. But voting rights advocates had hoped the 9th Circuit decision would make the federal mail-in card more popular because it's more convenient than mailing in a state form with a photocopy of proof of citizenship.
The mail-in card is particularly useful for voter registration drives, said Robert Kengle of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which is representing Native American and Hispanic groups in the case.
The conservative wing of the Supreme Court has been eager to challenge voting rights laws in recent years. In 2008, a 6-3 majority of the court upheld Indiana's voter ID law, paving the way for suppressive voter ID measures throughout the country. The Court may also hear a challenge to section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires federal preclearance for voting rights changes in states and counties with a history of discrimination at the ballot box. Successful court challenges to discriminatory voting law changes this year have shown just how essential that provision still is.
While the composition of the Supreme Court is unlikely to change before these cases are heard, they underscore the importance of federal courts in this election. Not only are federal courts the final protection we have against discriminatory voter suppression laws, the makeup of these courts is on the line in the presidential election. Either Mitt Romney or President Obama could pick up to three Supreme Court Justices and dozens of federal court judges in the next term. Romney has promised to appoint Justices like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who have both signaled their hostility to voting rights. If he does, and the Court shifts farther to the right, we could see decades of progress for fair and free elections slip away.
Yesterday morning, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas, a landmark case that could determine whether public colleges and universities can consider race as one of many factors when making admission decisions. Plaintiff Abigail Fisher, a white woman, alleges that the University of Texas discriminated against her based on her race when she was not admitted to the University of Texas in 2008. Should the Supreme Court choose to rule in favor of Fisher and rescind equality measures that were upheld by the Court just nine years ago in Grutter v. Bollinger, public colleges and universities would lose their ability to ensure a diverse student body.
People For the American Way, along with many proponents of affirmative action, rallied in front of the Supreme Court, stressing the necessity of diversity and inclusiveness in higher education. Champions of fairness and racial equality spoke, reflecting upon their own educational triumphs as a result of affirmative action and warning against a color-blind perspective that the Supreme Court may uphold. Speakers emphasized that individuals are multi-faceted, and cannot be judged solely by an SAT score or a GPA.
Speakers at the rally emphasized that a student must be evaluated wholly as an individual. A person's race and ethnicity is part of their background and part of what they offer to the diverse university community, just like their athletic abilities or legacy family roots.
While people of color have made great strides in closing the education gap, disparities in higher education remain widespread. Colleges and universities must foster diversity and represent the vast spectrum of aspiring students and professionals. This will only enhance ingenuity, bridge the racial divides of our history, and preserve America's platform of fairness and justice.
This is Justice Antonin Scalia, who Mitt Romney and Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown both hold up as their model Supreme Court Justice, discussing his approach to some thorny Constitutional issues:
"The death penalty? Give me a break. It's easy. Abortion? Absolutely easy. Nobody ever thought the Constitution prevented restrictions on abortion. Homosexual sodomy? Come on. For 200 years, it was criminal in every state"
Looking forward to seeing your rights eliminated with "ease" by the Supreme Court? We have just the candidate for you.
On CNN's website today, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin laments out how small a role the Supreme Court has played in the presidential election so far. He writes:
With a little more than a month to go, it's not too late to ask the candidates to take a stand on their plans for the court. The president has already had two appointments, and he named Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. But what does Obama, a former law professor, think about the court? Does he believe in a "living" Constitution, whose meaning evolves over time? Or does he believe, like Justices Scalia and Thomas, that the meaning of the document was fixed when it was ratified, in the 18th century.
By the same token, what kind of justices would Romney appoint? Who are his judicial role models? Romney has praised Chief Justice John Roberts, but is the candidate still a fan even after the chief voted to uphold the ACA?
No one is asking these questions. But there are few more important things to know about our current and future presidents.
Toobin is absolutely right that the candidates' plans for the Supreme Court deserve a lot more air time than they're getting. But he's wrong to suggest that we know nothing about what President Obama and Governor Romney have in mind for the Court.
President Obama has already picked two Supreme Court justices. Both, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, have been strong moderates, balancing out the retro extremism of Justices Scalia and Thomas. When female Wal-Mart employees wanted to band together to sue their employer for pay discrimination, Sotomayor and Kagan stood on the side of the women's rights, while Scalia and Thomas twisted the law to side with the corporation. When Justices Thomas and Scalia ruled that a woman harmed by a generic drug couldn't sue the drug's manufacturer in state court, Justices Sotomayor and Kagan stood up for the rights of the consumer.
Mitt Romney obviously hasn't had a chance to pick a Supreme Court justice yet, but he's given us a pretty good idea of who he would choose if given the opportunity. On his website, Romney promises to "nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito." After the Supreme Court's ruling in the health care reform case, Romney announced he had changed his mind about Roberts, who declined to destroy the law while still writing a stunningly retrogressive opinion redefining the Commerce Clause.
And, of course, Romney sent a clear signal to his conservative base when he tapped Robert Bork to advise him on legal and judicial issues. Bork's record, and what he signals about Romney's position on the Supreme Court, is chilling:
Romney's indicated that he would want the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. He's even attacked the premise of Griswold v. Connecticut, the decision that prohibited states from outlawing birth control by establishing a right to privacy.
Yes, the candidates should be made to answer more questions about their plans for the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. But there's a lot that we already know.

PFAW Activists Rally Outside Romney Headquarters in Greentree, PA
Yesterday marked the 3rd anniversary of Sonia Sotomayor officially assuming her office as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. People for the American Way, in partnership with other progressive organizations including NARAL and the AFL-CIO, marked the occasion with activists on the ground in the key states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
At a campaign event in Colorado yesterday, President Obama underscored the importance of the election for its impact on the future of the court.
Today is the three-year anniversary of Sonia Sotomayor taking her seat on the Supreme Court. Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of Elena Kagan taking her seat on the Supreme Court. So let's be very clear -- the next President could tip the balance of the Court in a way that turns back the clock for women and families for decades to come. The choice between going backward and moving forward has never been so clear.
People For president Michael Keegan also laid out the stakes in the Huffington Post.
President Obama's decisions to nominate Justices Kagan and Sotomayor prove his commitment to selecting qualified jurists and building a more representative and inclusive court that respects the Constitution and the rights of every American. Mitt Romney's decision to turn to ultra-conservative judge Robert Bork for judicial counsel is a clear signal that he would only appoint far-right figures to the Supreme Court, judges that are even further to the right than Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia.
It's difficult to imagine a more conservative court than the one we have now, but that's exactly what a Romney presidency would bring. With critical issues such as reproductive rights, voting rights, LGBT rights, campaign finance, and worker protections almost certain to come before the court next presidential term, stakes have never been higher.

Yesterday, PFAW avtivists were featured on Ohio Public Radio:
and Ohio Capital Blog:
Speaking at a campaign event in Colorado today, President Obama laid out the crucial importance of the Supreme Court in November's election:
Today is the three-year anniversary of Sonia Sotomayor taking her seat on the Supreme Court. Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of Elena Kagan taking her seat on the Supreme Court. So let's be very clear -- the next President could tip the balance of the Court in a way that turns back the clock for women and families for decades to come. The choice between going backward and moving forward has never been so clear.
The choice has never been so clear. In the Huffington Post today, People For president Michael Keegan lays out what's at stake as we pick the man who will pick our next Supreme Court justices:
So who would Romney pick for the Supreme Court? We've gotten a hint from his choice of former judge Robert Bork as his campaign's judicial advisor. Bork's brand of judicial extremism was so out of step with the mainstream that a bipartisan majority of the Senate rejected his nomination to the Supreme Court in 1987. Bork objected to the part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that desegregated lunch counters; he defended state laws banning birth control and "sodomy"; he was unabashedly in favor of censorship; he once ruled that a corporation could order its female employees to be sterilized or be fired. And, though it might not seem possible, since his confirmation battle Bork has gotten even more extreme.
Any justice appointed by Romney would likely fall in the footsteps of Bork in undermining workers' rights, eliminating civil rights protections, siding with corporations over the rights of individuals, threatening women's reproductive freedom, and rolling back basic LGBT rights. President Obama, on the other hand, has promised to pick more justices who share the constitutional values of Justice Sotomayor.

The ballot initiative that revoked marriage equality in California has taken a big step towards having its constitutionality determined by America's highest court. In a long-awaited move, proponents of Prop 8 have petitioned the Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Hollingsworth .v Perry that the ballot initiative violated the federal Equal Protection Clause. A nearly 500 page document, which can found here, lays out their rationale for urging the court to review the case.
Prop 8 Trial Tracker broke down the core of their argument:
The question presented in the case is: "Whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman." The proponents tell the Court that they should answer the "profoundly important question whether the ancient and vital institution of marriage should be fundamentally redefined to include same-sex couples." They write that leaving the Ninth Circuit's decision intact would have "widespread and immediate negative consequences" and would leave the impression that any "experiment" with marriage would be "irrevocable".
The Ninth Circuit issued a very narrow ruling, avoiding the question of whether gay and lesbian couples in general have a constitutional right to marry. Instead, it based its ruling on narrow grounds unique to California, where same-sex couples were left with all the state rights of marriage but not the name. It found that taking their designation of "marriage" while leaving their rights unchanged did not serve any of the purposes put forth by its defenders. Instead, its only purpose and effect was to lessen a targeted group's status and dignity by reclassifying their relationship and families as inferior. While the Supreme Court will be presented with the narrower question as framed by the Ninth Circuit, it is impossible to tell, if it agrees to hear the case at all, whether they will rule on this principle or more broadly on the ability of states to deny lesbians and gays the right to marry.
The Supreme Court will likely decide in early October whether or not to hear the case. Back in February, PFAW applauded the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in upholding the decision of the district court striking down Prop 8.
Marriage equality is just one of the many critical issues that will come before the Supreme Court when they reconvene next session. The elevation of Prop 8 to the highest level of the judicial system underscores the increasing importance of the Supreme Court and the Presidential election.
It is a difficult to imagine a more conservative Court than the one we have now, but Mitt Romney has pledged to appoint justices even further to the right then John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Romney has also enlisted far-right judge Robert Bork to advise him on judicial matters.

Add this to the good news/bad news mix from the Supreme Court's healthcare decision: Because of the good news (Chief Justice Roberts voted to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act), we get the bad news that his standing among the nation's Democrats has significantly increased. This collective amnesia about who John Roberts is and what he has done is disturbing, especially since the direction of the Court is one of the most important issues upon which Democrats should be voting in November.
A new Gallup Poll shows wild fluctuations in Democrats and Republicans' assessment of Chief Justice John Roberts since their last poll in 2005, a change Gallup attributes to his role in upholding the Affordable Care Act. Roberts' approval rating among Republicans has plummeted 40 percentage points from 2005, falling from 67% to 27%. In contrast, his favorability among Democrats has risen from 35% to 54%. That the healthcare decision is a catalyst of this change is supported by a PEW Research Center poll last week showing that between April and July, approval of the Supreme Court dropped 18 points among Republicans and rose 12% among Democrats.
Yes, John Roberts upheld the ACA, but only as a tax. At the same time, he agreed with his four far right compatriots that it fell outside the authority granted Congress by the Commerce Clause, leaving many observers concerned that he has set traps designed to let the Court later strike down congressional legislation that should in no way be considered constitutionally suspect. He also joined the majority that restricted Congress's constitutional authority under the Spending Clause to define the contours of state programs financed with federal funds.
Just as importantly, Roberts's upholding the ACA does not erase the past seven years, during which he has repeatedly been part of thin conservative majority decisions bending the law beyond recognition in order to achieve a right wing political result. John Roberts cast the deciding vote in a number of disastrous decisions, including those that:
Oh, and then there's that little 5-4 Citizens United opinion that has upended our nation's electoral system and put our government up to sale to the highest bidder.
With a rap sheet like that – and this is hardly a complete a list – no one should be under the illusion that John Roberts is anything but a right-wing ideologue using the Supreme Court to cement his favorite right-wing policies into law.
Next term, Roberts is expected to lead the judicial front of the Republican Party's war against affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. Whether he succeeds may depend on whether it is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama who fills the next vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Seems like Biden has an opinion on a Romney Supreme Court, as reported by CNN Political Ticker:
"Close your eyes and picture what the Supreme Court would look like four years from now under Romney," Biden said to groans from a crowd of supporters at a rally in Dubuque. "Tell me what you think would happen to women's rights in this country, civil rights."

Read an Excerpt
chapter 1
What happens when you take a million ordinary citizens and turn them into extraordinary psychics? Evolution!
debra lynne katz
Many people would love to experience clairvoyant visions that contain useful information for themselves and others, but they haven't got the foggiest idea how to initiate or control this process. Some believe the only way to do so is to put themselves through extreme circumstances, such as fasting for long periods, banishing themselves into harsh wilderness conditions, taking hallucinogenic drugs, or paying thousands of dollars for remote viewing or lengthy and costly clairvoyant or remote-viewing training programs.
While long-term, in-depth, and in-person training is a path I fully endorse and is the path that led to the writing of this book, countless readers of my first book, You Are Psychic, have demonstrated that such training is not necessary to access and utilize one's clairvoyance. In fact, during a recent expo in Los Angeles at which I conducted a clairvoyant training demonstration, I taught a group of sixty-five people how to perform a clairvoyant reading in less than forty-five minutes, something even I was not sure would be possible in such a short period of time.
Out of the twelve or so volunteers I called up to the front of the room, four were "seeing" almost the exact same images within minutes. Even though the woman they were practicing on stated nothing more than her name, they each saw her standing before a microphone singing passionately. A few others saw her with suitcases and sipping drinks on a beach in what appeared to be or felt like a resort in Mexico. The woman confirmed she was leaving that night to go perform at a resort in Cancun.
The mood changed drastically as another volunteer offered herself up to be "read." Even before I finished leading them through the opening exercise, four or five of the readers had tears in their eyes, while one actually burst out in sobs. At this point they had no idea why they were having this kind of emotional reaction. However, soon a few more novice readers began receiving images and clairaudient messages indicating that this woman was grieving the death of someone close to her. She later confirmed that several of her family members had died very recently, including a parent. I wasn't surprised to discover that the reader who had the strongest initial emotional reaction had recently lost a parent herself. This is an example of clairsentience, the psychic ability of feeling others' emotions and physical sensations. This ability naturally emerges when utilizing one's clairvoyance.
What Exactly Is Clairvoyant Reading?
Clairvoyant reading is a very intensive form of meditation in which you focus on some simple visualizations, pose questions to these visualizations, and then wait patiently for the information to arrive. This information can be about anyone or anything. The only way it can work is through complete inward focus and concentration. But wait, don't let that scare you! When you know the right techniques to use, which you will soon, this intense concentration will be effortless. Why? Because when you are doing clairvoyant readings, you are not trying to quiet and empty a mind that by nature is addicted to being busy and noisy. Instead, your mind is so active with the techniques that the end result is you are focusing without trying to focus. This is particularly true when you are doing a reading on someone else, which is a lot easier than reading yourself.
When you see visions or use your clairvoyance, and you take the time to communicate the information to someone else, this is called a reading. When we "read" other people we can see into any aspect of their lives. The information comes from a variety of sources. Some of it comes from what I'd call a universal source of all knowingness. Very little is known about this source except that it's there to tap into it whenever we like. This source is the same one that I believe Carl Jung was referring to when he coined the term collective unconscious. The information contained within this source is largely or perhaps entirely of a visual nature. Because the information exists in the form of pictures and archetypal images, it can be accessed by people of every nation, regardless of their verbal language or ability to use verbal language at all. We all interact with this source every night through our dreams. It's possible even animals can tap into this source, although I don't know that for sure.
MEI Pictures/Filters/Programs
When we access information from this universal source, we cannot help but view it through own filters of perception. These filters are our own personal pictures made up of thoughtforms and feelings upon which our personalities and egos are based, and which very much determine how we approach life and all relationships, including those with others and with ourselves. In You Are Psychic I refer to these pictures or filters as Mental/Emotional Image pictures (MEI pictures). These filters are like minute programs running through our psyches. They are connected into particular parts of our bodies and energy fields and can even result in disease or physical pain. Sometimes they consist entirely of pain. They are like secret scripts that echo past traumatic experiences. Quite frequently these programs or scripts are written and passed on by those who raised us, or by our own selves to make sense of our past disappointments. We often carry these pictures or programs with us from other incarnations into our present one. They then act as shackles that keep us from expressing our true essence and experiencing greater freedom to be who we are or who we truly want to be in present time.
When we read other people who have something in common with us, who are strong mirrors for us, not only do we become more aware of these pictures or filters, but energetically they actually begin to shift and fall away, regardless of whether we can identify them at the time. In this way, performing a clairvoyant reading or healing on another person can be a powerful method of self-transformation because it allows us to deprogram ourselves so we are freer to be our own true selves in the present moment. This is really what all transpersonal and psychological modalities attempt to do, but clairvoyant reading can do it much faster. As a clairvoyant reader aware of this process, we can be our own therapist. Our clients are our mirrors and the impetus for change within ourselves. It's important to understand that this process occurs whether or not you think you have something in common with the person you are reading and really has nothing to do with your cognitive awareness, although the more readings you do, the more impressed you will be with the fact that you tend to read people who are in fact dealing with issues similar to those you are also dealing with in the present moment.
Other Sources of Information
Apart from the universal source of knowingness, during a clairvoyant reading other sources of psychic information can be accessed to obtain information. These include telepathic communication from other living people, as well as deceased individuals and beings we call spirit guides, which behave as if their job is to help out with such matters. (As I will discuss in chapter 13, I've never had an entity actually hand me a business card that identifies him literally as a "spirit guide," but this term does correctly embody the intentions of a variety of beings available to assist us.) Sometimes as the clairvoyant, it will be you who is the source of the information as your spirit travels to a particular location to observe a lost object or incident that has occurred or that will occur at a specific point in time.
Readings can be done by letting the information come to you or by you going to the information, and you will be learning both these methods in the next few chapters. Much of the time when you seek information about a person, particularly one who has solicited your assistance and is sitting beside you or is talking to you on the telephone, you will discover the bulk of the information about that person's life resides in their aura, which is another word for the energy field that surrounds every living thing. An aura is a map of the body and a history book of the soul that accompanies that body. The first chapter of this historical epic begins long before the soul was thrust into this current lifetime; indeed, our auras contain information about all our incarnationspast, present, and to some extent future (see chapter 7). Often, when a person asks a question about their health or a goal, a clairvoyant's attention will be drawn to a specific location within the aura. This is particularly true with health and relationship questions.
Many times a readee will want to know why they are suffering from a particular ailment or what can be done about it. Often, in addition to receiving an answer about the readee's physical anatomy, an image will come up that indicates the person had a weakness in that area related to emotional trauma or neglect prior to the manifestation of the illness or problem. Carolyn Myss, in her book Anatomy of the Spirit and her excellent audiotape series Why People Don't Heal and Three Levels of Power, does a great job of explaining various ailments with their corresponding energy dynamics. My own readings with thousands of clients have led me to come up with similar connections. After practicing the techniques in the following chapters, you will likely begin to make similar observations.
Foreign Energies
Our auras also contain a plethora of foreign energies that profoundly influence our physical, mental, and emotional health. These energies are derived from sources apart from ourselves, but they merge with us when they enter our field or when we enter the fields of others. Some of these foreign sources include family members, lovers, bosses, ancestors, spirits, and an assorted cast of other characters, with or without bodies. The type and amount of these energies that dwell within our auras and body at any given time largely determine how we feel and experience ourselves (self-esteem), and the ways in which we manifest on a creative level.
These energies influence our level of personal freedom and power, which obviously has an impact on our everyday life experiences such as finances, relationships, work, and on our overall development. Many clairvoyants have observed that these foreign energies travel back and forth through things that look like cords of electricity. These cords also sometimes show up in photographs. (I am currently working on a new book, which includes a collection of such photos taken by a close friend of mine, Kazandrah Martin, who is a healer and clairvoyant in Sedona, Arizona.) Sometimes, two people's energy fields are so merged together that they look like Siamese twins. This corresponds with the degree of codependency between the two. Most often I see this with an emotionally dependent parent and a child who has allowed that parent to feed off their energy system with the hope that someday the parent will change and give them what they were missing as children.
A common image I encounter in my readings is that of my client standing in front of a mirror. Sometimes the client is smiling, sometimes frowning; there are often other faces and bodies standing around my client in the mirror. I've discovered through corresponding symbols and intuitive information that this usually indicates the client is experiencing himself or herself through another's eyes and emotions. Now this might be terrific if the other person is a happy, encouraging, self-loving person who loves the client. But what if the "other" is picky and depressed, or filled with anxiety and self-loathing? Most of the time when I describe what I am seeing, the readee knows exactly who I am talking about, and verifies that their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth have been less than positive since being involved with this other person, or since this person began having problems in their own life.
I have personally encountered dramatic shifts in my own self-perception and self-esteemparticularly my satisfaction with my body and even my ability to lose weightafter performing some self-healing techniques during which I released from my aura the foreign energy of someone I was dating. Some of these techniques are presented in chapter 3 and chapters 15 through 17. It doesn't matter how much you love your partner or your children or your clients. Their thoughts, feelings, and pain often do not serve you when they are in your body. It is like running the wrong fuel through your engine. It will clog things up, slow you down, burn you out, and even cause your immune system to break down.
If you feel as if you are living a life that is not your own or if your job and the people around you don't make you feel good, most likely you are running other people's programs and energy through your body, which has caused you to make the choices that have led you to your current situation. As soon as you clear these out and get back in touch with your own life force, vibration, energy, path, whatever you want to call it, your life will begin to reshape itself to fit who you really are right now, in the present moment. This is what giving and receiving clairvoyant readings and healings can do for you.
Seeing Is Not Just Seeing
After twelve years of experience as a clairvoyant reader and healer, I am thrilled to be discovering the extent of quality research that confirms many of my own personal observations and experiences. Some of the books that do a fantastic job describing this research are Mind-Reach by Russell Targ and Harold E. Puthoff; Dean Radin's The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds; and Lynne McTaggart's The Field and The Intention Experiment. All these authors note that quantum physicists, in their early research, discovered that particlesthe building blocks of atoms, made up of electric charges, magnetic charges, and lightchanged as they were being observed, even when researchers were doing nothing more than looking at them. Long before I ever heard about the above-mentioned research, I would often be looking at someone's aura or some kind of energy, and I would notice that it immediately began shifting, even before I communicated what I was seeing to the readee. After alerting the readee to the energy I was seeing, I would many times see an even greater shift in that energy.
In The Intention Experiment, McTaggart makes a distinction between attention and intention. Attention is focusing on something without intent; intention is focus with a desired outcome. Likewise, clairvoyant reading is putting your attention on the target or object, while clairvoyant healing is reading with the intention to initiate a change. This intention can be generalas when you approach a reading with the attitude that you are going to do your best to see and offer the most accurate information in order to help your readee achieve maximum health and happiness. Or your intention may be specific, in that it might address a particular issuefor example, your readee suffers from headaches or depression, and your intention is to free them of these ailments. For myself and most psychics I know personally, we naturally bring this general goal to our work with every client, so we can't say that we are ever just merely observing without any intent behind it. But there are definitely different degrees of intent and, as McTaggart explains, intention is not just desire; it's a definitive commitment to achieve results. From my own observations, there seems to be a proportional connection between the strength of the desire and the impact of the healing, particularly when the one being healed has the same commitment to their own healing as the one doing the healing. (You'd be surprised how often the healer is more invested in the outcome than the person being healed!)
For example, I might do a clairvoyant reading for a client and discover that she currently has cancer. As I look at the cancer cells, their location, and the underlying energy and issues that seem to be related to the cancer, I will often begin to see a shift happen in the energy field. For some reason I tend to see cancer as white, and there are times when I am just merely looking at the white color that it begins to move and dissipate. Sometimes when the movement occurs, the readee actually begins to experience a sensation. Yet it is when I actually decide to actively heal the person of their cancer, by imagining and willing or demanding that the white release out of the affected area and go down a grounding cord, that I observe the greatest changes and the client experiences the most profound physical shifts or has the greatest emotional release. This release occurs whether or not the client had any idea that I was actually performing a healing.
Quite often when reading a person, an image will spontaneously come to me that I can then work with when I am ready to perform a clairvoyant healing on them. For example, I might see a black streak cutting across my client's heart, so I will use my imagination and visualize that black color releasing from the heart. Or I might see an image of the client's heart as if it were feeble and gasping for breath. In this case I would ask the heart to show me the color of whatever has been causing the weakness in it. The color doesn't really mean anything to me other than giving me something to hold on toto work with or manipulate. If the color seems to represent something that is not healthy, I can visualize it releasing. If it is something pleasant, such as a vibration of joy or creativity or passion, I may choose to visualize it washing away any other colors as if it were clean water swirling inside a washing machine. I may also choose to visualize this color as if it were completely filling up the client's body and aura, or a particular area in need of this energy. I may share this color with the client or ask them to describe their favorite color or one that makes them happy, in order to see if it corresponds with the one I am seeing. Then I will give the client an assignment to work with this color in their own meditation space as a self-healing empowerment exercise.
This is how a basic clairvoyant healing is done. We set the intention to make a strong difference and utilize visualizations to achieve this purpose. In a pure clairvoyant reading, we are just observingwith kindness, but we are not intentionally changing what we are seeing, even though such a change may in fact be the end result. Remember: it's as simple as shining a light exactly on the area that needs illumination, and the readee's spirit will see the spot that they could not quite reach before on their own, and a shift will take place.
Sometimes this spiritual communication in the form of a clairvoyant reading is all the person needs; other times the reading is just one thing in a cumulative series of events. At other times, intentional healing is necessary, and even then it may not have immediate and complete results but rather move the client one small step on their journey to health. If the client is not at all open to growth or change due to fear or a compulsive need to control something that they cannot control (which is almost always due to fear anyway), then the reading and healing may have no effect other than to really piss the client off!
I once received a letter from a woman who stated that her boyfriend was very abusive, was currently serving a prison term for attempted murder, and was addicted to methamphetamine. This man told the woman who wrote me that he never wanted to see her again. She asked me what I could do to help him (translation: change him) so that she could get back together with him. I told her, "Absolutely nothing," but I added that I might be able to figure out why she was settling for someone like him and to help her emotionally let go of this very destructive attachment in her life. I wasn't surprised when I never heard back from her. Her problem wasn't with him. It was with herself.
Healer, Heal Thyself
One of the most important things to understand about clairvoyant reading is that it's not just the readee who is being influenced by the clairvoyant's attention and intentions. The clairvoyant is very much affected as well. This is where we may have to part ways with the quantum physicistsnot because they aren't being influenced by the particles they are observing, but because most of them would never even think to consider this as a possibility, and I can't imagine that the particles themselves would have enough strength to elicit the same effect that one person's energy field can have on another. This is why we need more of these very smart physicists to study larger particles i.e., people!
During a clairvoyant reading, the readers will also be experiencing their own clairsentiencethe ability to feel others' emotions and physical sensations as one's own, including pain, exhaustion, and sexual arousal. As I mentioned, during a reading the clairvoyant will be encountering and working through their own issues and matching pictures with the client, which will be stimulated and brought to the surface for the purpose of healing. When psychics are unaware of these matching pictures, it's easy to get stuck and fall into resistance of them, which usually translates into resisting the person they are reading, or feeling fear about doing the reading at all. If psychics are aware of how the process works, there are techniques they can utilize to allow them to use this process to their advantage. In this respect, clairvoyant reading can be a tool for paradigm shifts, emotional release, and overall rapid and significant growth. However, with rapid growth comes changeand as you know, change can sometimes be more than a bit distressing.
In clairvoyant circles this process is called a growth period. In other spiritual disciplines it's called a dark night of the soul. This is because the soul suddenly becomes aware that it was operating from false premises, such as fantasies or fears, or other people's ideas, dreams, and limitations. These premises may have been exactly the ones the spirit needed in order to learn certain lessons or achieve certain goals in life up until this point, but they no longer serve the spirit. When this occurs, sometimes our previous belief structurein which our identity was enmeshed and into which we grounded in order to be securecol-lapses. The only way we can really feel better is to adopt a new belief system that fits us better in the present time.
Sometimes, however, there is a gap in time before we can form that new belief system or ground into it. While there is much to learn and experience in that gap, our ego may actually feel as if it is dying or has died and has nothing to hang on to; this can be downright terrifying. Actually, it isn't being in that gap that's a problem, but instead it's the lack of understanding that unnerves us and tricks us into wondering if we are going nuts. This is because during such a growth period we really are losing touch with "reality." Yet that can be a good thing, if the "reality" we were previously in touch with was not really real.
When we are in this limbo, in this gap of not knowing any longer what to believe, and when we can recognize this state for what it is, and actually celebrate it, we will be in an extremely powerful place because the possibilities for what we can create and where we can go will be astounding. Unfortunately, most people don't really get this until after they've come out on the other end and can look back at the experience from a safe distance and not only say, "Wow, that was intense. I don't want to go through that again!" but also appreciate it as a defining point in their personal and/or spiritual development. This period is often followed up with extreme changes in a person's life, which can include ending relationships and giving up jobs, material items, and ways of behaving that were no longer productive in order to make way for a whole new bundle of opportunities often associated with greater creativity and peace.
It is my most sincere hope that this book will help you use clairvoyant reading to initiate this growth process in yourself, and that you will remember to congratulate yourself for the changes you are making if and when life as you know it begins to feel a bit topsy-turvy. I promise that such a feeling won't last longalthough I guess long is a subjective word!
The process of psychic development and reading (which is also a form of remote viewingsee chapters 10 and 11) that I will focus on in this book can be merely a set of mental exercises you can utilize to call upon any kind of information through extrasensory perception, or it can be a spiritual discipline and practice that yield deep and lasting results for self-development. If you practice the techniques just a few times, you will most likely discover that they yield immediate results. The longer and deeper you practice, the greater fruits they will bearas is true in the other spiritual disciplines, whether yoga, martial arts, or even any of the creative arts such as painting, music, writing, dance, and so on. With all of these, it takes courage, faith, determination, focus, and patience to get past both the inner resistance and outer resistance that are in operation every moment, even right this moment as you decide whether to read one more word of this book or abandon it and turn on the TV instead. One of the reasons I have written this book is to help people get past this resistance. Resistance here is defined as anything that would keep you separatephysically, mentally, or emo-tionallyfrom your abilities, your own inner voice, or your affinity for yourself. The root of resistance is fear (see also chapter 20).
The tricky thing about resistance is sometimes, even often, people confuse it with a "gut feeling." The expression "Listen to your gut" always makes me cringe because most of the information connected with our guts (which correspond to the third chakra) has to do with issues of power and control, and sometimes plain old-fashioned gas or menstrual cramps! Control is a mechanism that attempts to avoid and protect us from fear. But when we realize we cannot control what we fear, this part of our body will send signals that scream out "Danger! Danger!" and secrete all kinds of toxins and acids that cause indigestion, ulcers, or even cancers.
I am in no way disputing the power of intuition; rather, I am suggesting that intuition doesn't really come from your "gut." Instead, it stimulates the fear sensation or reaction in your gut, which is probably why people think it's their gut that is the voice of intuition. Intuition is a term used to describe a wide variety of psychic abilities and sensations, and I believe intuition originates more in the upper chakras or energy centers of the body than in the lower ones.
Fortunately, we have our clairvoyance, the ability to see information in the form of pictures and images. When we know how to work with our clairvoyance, which you will after reading this book, we have a way to obtain more detailed, accurate, and objective information so that we can make better decisions, such as whether or not we really shouldn't get on that plane, or if we just need to ground ourselves, take a nap, a yoga class, or an Alka-Seltzer.
If you don't know for certain that you are psychic, if you have never had a clairvoyant vision as far as you recall, if you have had one but don't know how to control it, or if you know beyond all doubt you are clairvoyant but are not using your clairvoyance in the ways or to the degree you suspect you could, there is a reason for that! You are "stuck" in a reality that says these things are not real, possible, or safe, at least not for you. However, I can guarantee you that this "reality" is anything but real! It is an illusion. Up until now there was something else at playa force within you, or outside yourself in the form of a person, people, the entire society perhapsblocking your awareness, preventing you from having the knowledge and access to the knowledge. I can be as certain of that as I am certain that you are psychic. You are clairvoyant. You are clairsentient. You are clairaudient. You are a medium!
Overcoming years of unconscious resistance to your own psychic abilities can be more than just challenging, particularly when you are surrounded by others who continue to be stuck in this very same resistance. Developing your abilities within a structured and supportive group setting is the easiest way to achieve your goal. However, it may not be practical for you right now in terms of time and family commitments, your other goals, your location, or your finances. Therefore, it is my sincerest desire and intent to give you everything you might possibly need that is in my power to give you, in order to help you help yourself as you move up, down, along, in circles, sometimes backward, but mostly forward along the never-ending path of your clairvoyant development.
I am going to give you the tools and pass along the lessons you need to pull yourself out of any potholes, to create bridges from one signpost to the next, and to slay any trolls, demons, or hollow-eyed aliens that are threatening to huff and puff and blow your house down. It will of course be up to you to make good use of these tools.

Language and Creativity: The Art of Common Talk (Paperback)Ronald Carter
Paperback Published: 29/01/2004
- Not available
Language and Creativity explores the creativity inherent in everyday spoken language. Creativity in language has conventionally been regarded as the preserve of institutionalised discourses such as canonical literature and the discourse of advertising. In Language and Creativity Ronald Carter analyses naturally-occurring spoken language to reveal that ordinary people in everyday speech contexts demonstrate creative capacities for sensitivity to their contexts. Illustrated with examples, and integrating current theory in both language and literature studies, the book underlines the importance of the creative choice, automaticity and repetition which is involved in informal communication.

"I love my cards they turned out great!! The only thing I would have changed would have been the colors I didn't edit my pictures before sending them to print, I think the color was not as sharp as I would have wanted them to be but besides that they turned out perfect!!"
"I really like the simple three panel layout especially the room for the larger photo. I also like the the simple text area that didn't over power the photos. Friends commented on the same things. The paper stock was of high quality, firm card stock that wasn't overly stiff. The photos printed very clearly on it as well. Overall a very elegant and simple design that allows the photos to "do the talking". Highly recommend!"
"Great choice of colors for the prints we added. The paper quality was excellent. Everyone has been raving about the design of the card."
"paper quality is terrific, printing quality of the pictures is great even though one of my pictures was not terrific. The design allowed me to use 4 pictures in a way that features one, allows a second to be next in importance and then 2 little ones so the composite image has good design quality. I like the solid red on the back where I was able to write a note to each recipient. Overall great card."
"2nd year ordering holiday cards from Tiny Prints. We were thrilled again! Chose Sweet Silent Night in pearl shimmer and also in regular to compare. Pearl shimmer is worth the extra price! LOVED the Design - chose it for the caption. Image is not 100% crisp but soft finish adds a 'glow'. Card stock was superior. Extremely pleased. My only addition would be a blank caption option text box, so that I can hand write my own personal messages. (Used a Sharpie instead)"

After Girls Get the Attention, Focus Shifts to Boys' Woes
Published: April 23, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
''And we sometimes don't make accommodations for the boys' developmental levels, so we humiliate them and get them mad, or interpret their activity as willful aggression, and so begins the fulfillment of a prophecy where we try to punish and control boys more harshly than girls, and they come to resent it and dislike it and dislike authority and react back against it.''
At around the same time, said Dr. William Pollack, a Harvard psychiatrist whose years of studying boys led him to write ''Real Boys: Rescuing our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood,'' to be published soon by Random House, boys are undergoing another difficult process, striking out on their own when they would still like to be clinging to mothers' legs.
''We prematurely separate boys from their mothers and nurturing in general in a way we don't do to girls,'' Dr. Pollack said. ''And we call that normal boy development, and my argument is that not only isn't it normal but it's traumatic, and that trauma has major consequences.''
What results, some psychologists and teachers say, is boys who become emotionally cut off and less able to experience empathy and absorb moral teachings.
''Boys were traditionally raised to be soldiers and every toy and cartoon dealt with not having feelings, and you could hurt people and nothing would happen,'' said Merry-Murray Meade, a kindergarten teacher at the Atrium School, a private elementary school in Watertown, Mass. Now, Ms. Meade said: ''We want little boys to take on feelings. But the fathers often don't even know how to do it. They say, 'If I bring that out in him, will he be a girl?' ''
In adolescence, said Dan Kindlon, a Harvard Medical School psychology professor co-writing ''Raising Cain,'' boys are further isolated and stunted by what he calls a ''culture of cruelty.''
''In the period of seventh, eighth and ninth grade, boys learn that to show vulnerability is akin to death,'' Dr. Kindlon said. ''You talk to a 75-year-old man and he can still remember the names he was called then.''
Black and Hispanic boys can experience particular problems in adolescence, researchers say, because when they act peer-pleasingly tough, adults see them as dangerous and threatening, but if they act soft, they are likelier to be victimized. The suicide rate for black adolescent boys, though still proportionally lower than that of white boys, has gone up 100 percent over the last 10 years, Dr. Pollack said.
Put the psychological picture together, stir in recent biological findings on everything from the effects of testosterone to sex differences in brains, and an array of scary statistics begin to make sense, boys' advocates argue.
In his forthcoming book about adolescents, ''A Fine Young Man'' (Tarcher/Putnam), Mr. Gurian notes that adolescent boys are four times more likely than girls to commit suicide (though girls try more often) and the number of boys' suicides are rising while the number for girls are not. Four times as many adolescent boys drop out of high school as girls, including girls who have babies.
Many Are Diagnosed With Attention Deficit
Of particular concern to many is the epidemic levels at which young American boys are being diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder and prescribed Ritalin. A lunchtime line of pill-takers has become a common scene at many school nurses' offices, and many boys' advocates say that Ritalin is greatly over-prescribed.
''I'd say what those boys really have is not attention-deficit disorder but M.D.D. -- male-deficit disorder,'' Dr. Pollack said. ''We see boys as deficient because we have models of development that are not empathic to boys.''
Relying on recent neuroscientific research, Mr. Gurian and others argue that boys' behavior is often biologically based. Boys' high energy and love of games that involve pursuit and moving objects results from eons of evolution as hunters, for example. Society, the boys' advocates say, is trying to quash history.
Commercially speaking, the bushel of books on boys coming out may be merely an effort by publishers to recapture the success of Mary Pipher's ''Reviving Ophelia,'' which only recently fell off The Times best-seller list after 148 weeks. But the authors of the boys' books and other researchers see themselves as part of a chorus calling for change in how boys are reared, and offer concrete remedies from different ways of playing to different ways of listening.
Many of their suggestions are geared to mothers who have been so baffled by sons who, given dolls, rip off their heads and use their bodies as guns, or who find a sudden painful distance between themselves and their boys.
''Women have to learn to speak boys' language as well as boys speaking women's,'' said Barney Brawer, a former school principal now at Tufts University who, with Dr. Gilligan, co-directed a two-year Harvard Project on Women's Psychology, Boys' Development and the Culture of Manhood. That often means bonding with their sons as fathers have, ''side by side,'' during a shared activity, rather than face to face, he said, or more subtle communication than ''What's wrong?''
Ms.Wallis-Smith said she also tried to help mothers and teachers accept and interpret the rowdiness often inherent in boys' play rather than trying to squelch it.
''Most classrooms have rules against play that involves guns or shooting or bad guys,'' she said. ''It's a backlash against the violence in our culture, but I'm afraid we've made boys pathological -- what we used to see as normal. We're rejecting the culture of masculinity and trying to redefine it, but we're throwing out the boy with the bathwater.''
Offering Alternatives In Rearing of Boys
Many of the boys' advocates also push for boys spending more time in all-boy environments, whether in single-sex schools and classes or in activities like Scouting.
In the Seattle area, for example, Peter Wallis, a longtime teacher and camp director, puts together boys' seminars and weekends that incorporate ideas from Mr. Gurian's book in a mix of physical exercise and myth. He has the boys act out dramatic stories and ''hero quests'' that emphasize ''the classical vision of males as noble beings with diverse abilities,'' Mr. Wallis said.
And educators talk about gearing school activities to be more boy-friendly, for example allowing more learning-by-doing, such as a recent project at the Atrium School that allowed children to try chipping at rocks in the schoolyard as they studied the Stone Age and to build their own primitive inventions.
Others push for different forms of interaction with girls. At the Atrium School, Samuel Shem, a psychiatrist, and his wife, Janet Surrey, a psychologist, are experimenting with boy-girl ''gender dialogues'' to help them understand each other.
Dr. Shem worries that the boys' movement will become too much like ''Robert Bly for boys,'' he said, referring to the drum-beating, woods-going men's movement.
''If you buy into the let-men-be-men view, you end up with a lot of lonely men in middle age,'' he said. ''What I'm saying is all human beings have the same nature, which is to want to be in a good connection, and all you're doing with boys is to come back to what they experience early in life, and give them what they yearn for.''
Some girls' advocates also maintain that the boys' movement is merely more patriarchal business as usual, grabbing attention away from girls' problems just when they have gained a brief spotlight after millennia of neglect and oppression.
But those like Ms. Wilson hold out hope that ultimately, girls could benefit as well from a boys' movement.
''We'd be so naive to think we could change the lives of girls without boys' lives changing,'' she said.

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Health Center
ABCDEs of Melanoma Skin Cancer
Source: NCI Visuals Online. Skin Cancer Foundation. http://visualsonline.cancer.gov/about.cfm
The ABCDEs of melanoma skin cancer are:
- Asymmetry. One half doesn't match the appearance of the other half.
- Border irregularity. The edges are ragged, notched, or blurred.
- Color. The color (pigmentation) is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown, and black are present. Dashes of red, white, and blue add to a mottled appearance.
- Diameter. The size of the mole is greater than 1/4 inch (6 mm), about the size of a pencil eraser. Any growth of a mole should be evaluated.
- Evolution. There is a change in the size, shape, symptoms (such as itching or tenderness), surface (especially bleeding), or color of a mole.

St. John's sponsors educational cruise for Santa Ana students
DANA POINT – St. John's Episcopal School sponsored a Santa Ana school's trip on an educational cruise as part of St. John's year-long charity effort to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
About 30 students from Pio Pico Elementary School went on a marine mammal cruise and tidepool walk Tuesday at the Dana Point harbor. They were paired up with 43 third graders from St. John's in Rancho Santa Margarita.
The two schools were connected through the Ocean Institute's adopt-a-school program. The students exchanged letters prior to the field trip, said Kellie Pendergest, director of advancement at St. John's.
None of the Pio Pico students had been on a boat before, said Jim Graves, a spokesman for the Ocean Institute. They saw whales, dolphins, sea lions and seals during the cruise, Graves said.
"I saw a lot of amazement, a lot of enthusiasm, excitement," Graves said. "I hope they'll come back in the future. I hope they'll be good stewards of the environment."
The trip for both schools cost $3,000, Pendergest said, and the St. John's third graders will start fundraising on campus Wednesday to pay for part of it. They will sell Gratitude Grams, little notes students can give to their friends.
The rest of the bill will be covered by St. John's and donations from parents.

* Over 80 mln apps downloaded which carry aggressive ads
* First industry guidelines for in-app ads published
* Aggressive ads could hamper mobile ad market
By Tarmo Virki
July 9 Some advertising networks have over the last year started to secretly collect app users contacts or whereabouts, and could now have access to 80 million smartphones globally, U.S.-based mobile security firm LookOut said.
Over 80 million apps have been downloaded which carry aggressive ads and the problem was rising, LookOut said as it unveiled on Monday the first industry guidelines on how application developers and advertisers could avoid raising consumer angst over too aggressive ads, which could hit badly the $8 billion industry.
"Aggressive ad networks are much more prevalent than malicious applications. It's the most prevalent mobile privacy issue that exists," Kevin Mahaffey, LookOut's technology chief and co-founder, told Reuters in an interview.
He declined to name the most aggressive ad networks, hoping some of them would align practices to match the new guidelines which include publishing detailed privacy policy and a clear opportunity for consumers to avoid data collection.
Some more aggressive networks collect users email addresses or phone numbers without permission, while others install icons to home screens, track users whereabouts or push ads to notification bar.
"Most ad networks are not aggressive, but there are a few pushing the limits," Mahaffey said.

Information theory and entropy methods are becoming powerful tools in biology, from the level of individual cells, to whole ecosystems, to experimental design, model-building, and the measurement of biodiversity. The aim of this investigative workshop is to synthesize different ways of applying these concepts to help systematize and unify work in biological systems. Early attempts at "grand syntheses" often misfired, but applications of information theory and entropy to specific highly focused topics in biology have been increasingly successful. In ecology, entropy maximization methods have proven successful in predicting the distribution and abundance of species. Entropy is also widely used as a measure of biodiversity. Work on the role of information in game theory has shed new light on evolution. As a population evolves, it can be seen as gaining information about its environment. The principle of maximum entropy production has emerged as a fascinating yet controversial approach to predicting the behavior of biological systems, from individual organisms to whole ecosystems. This investigative workshop will bring together top researchers from these diverse fields to share insights and methods and address some long-standing conceptual problems.
