However, there are times when fatigue should be diagnosed by a medical professional. If you're feeling especially tired but aren't sure if this warrants a trip to the doctor's office, note the following.
If your fatigue is accompanied by constant headaches, severe back pain, and other such symptoms, you may want to see a doctor. You may have headaches because of sleep apnea, which is a cessation of breathing during sleep. If severe and left unchecked, sleep apnea can lead to chronic fatigue and even death; a person wakes up to get themselves breathing again, but in some extreme cases, they cannot wake up, and this can be fatal.
Severe back pain with fatigue can be caused by a back injury, poor posture, and other conditions that are putting pressure on the back muscles and causing them to work overtime. You may not realize that your back has been stressed or strained, but the pain can keep you up at night, and this type of injury should be treated.
Sometimes a lack of sleep can be caused by psychological symptoms, such as severe stress, grief, depression, anxiety, panic, and the like. In some cases, these conditions may pass on their own if given enough time. In other cases, they may simply become worse and continue to deprive you of your sleep. Your medical doctor can refer you to a counselor who can help address these issues and consider a sleep aid in the meantime.
Acute fatigue is that which does not get better after several months, and after having tried addressing it with lifestyle changes, changes to your diet, and so on. Long-term fatigue can be associated with anemia, diabetes, and other very serious health conditions including autoimmune disorders. Your doctor should test you for these types of conditions and at least rule them out as a cause of your fatigue. If you have chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that may develop after an infection, your doctor may want to prescribe antidepressants and a routine of rest.
For more information, contact a doctor at a local medical centre.

The Herd: A Look at The Republican Vice Presidential Candidates. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee
Posted on May 23, 2012 by Kempite
The Herd is a special White House 2012 series covering the obvious and not so obvious potential choices to be selected as Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate on the Republican presidential ticket. Each day, White House 2012 will introduce you to one the many Republicans which we believe will be at least considered for for the vice presidency by the now inevitable presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
In addition to a biographical information and a brief assessment of each potential nominee and their chances of being selected by Mitt Romney, White House 2012′s coverage also includes each potential nominee's voting records, as well as a listing of their public statements and links to their web sites.
Today White House 2012 takes a look at the former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee
Born: August 11, 1955, Hope, Arkansas
Spouse(s): Janet Huckabee
Children :John Mark, David, Sarah
Residence :North Little Rock, Arkansas
Alma mater: Ouachita Baptist University
Profession:Politician, Talk Show Host,Author, Public Speaker, & ordained Minister
Religion: Southern Baptist
1992, Ran for U.S. Senate in Arkansas against incumbent Dale Bumpers
1993, Huckabee to run in the special election for lieutenant governor and won, becoming only the second Republican since Reconstruction to serve as Arkansas lieutenant governor.
1994, Huckabee was re-elected to a full term as lieutenant governor, beating Democratic candidate Charlie Cole Chaffin with nearly 59 percent of the vote
1996, Huckabee announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Senator David Pryor.
During that campaign Democrat Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker was convicted on one count of arranging nearly $3 million in fraudulent loans in conjunction with the Whitewater scandal. Tucker announced that he would resign. Lt. Governor Huckabee then withdrew from the senate race and assumed the office of Governor on July 15, 1996.
1998, Huckabee was elected to his first full term as Governor.
2002, Huckabee was reelected to his second four-year term
2008, Huckabee ran for the Republican presidential nomination but withdrew from the race when it became apparent that John McCain had won enough delegates to cinch the nomination.
(Click here for Huckabee's White House 2012 Presidential Contenders Page)
Mike Huckabee could be a surprise pick by Romney designed to appeal to the Southern and evangelical base of the G.O.P. which need to find a good reason to vote Mitt. But picking him could also be a decision to appeal to independent voters. While Huckabee is not necessarily considered a big independent vote getter, if given that mission in a campaign for Vice President, Huckabee could do a good job. His ability to articulate issues in a folksy, down-to-earth manner is quite effective and his command of the issues is admirable.
Some suggest that bad blood from the 2008 Republican nomination contest, still exists between Romney and Huckabee. And they are probably right. However contrary to those who believe that will prevent Romney from picking Huckabee or Huckabee from jumping at the chance to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office, that bad blood will not be the reason for it to actually happen. Bad blood did not prevent Huckabee from inviting Romney on to his to weekly Fox News show. Huckabee did not let bad blood get in the way of ratings for his show, nor did it allow Romney to get in the way some free airtime. Hard feelings did not prevent John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson from teaming up. And it didn't keep Ronald Reagan from calling upon George H. W. Bush to be his Vice President. So neither Romney or Huckabee will let the campaign rhetoric of 2008 get in their way either. And both men genuinely know that defeating Barack Obama in the election is the only thing they need to concern themselves with.
That leaves only a few reasons for why it may not happen.
Romney may easily conclude that there are other better suited running mates who can bring a better advantage to the ticket regarding a particular state's electoral college vote, or who can perhaps better appeal to certain needed demographic that Romney needs to win. Another reason could be that Huckabee just might want to enjoy life and keep making money in the private sector or retire to his lush estate in Florida.
Another reason for Huckabee not being given a place on the ticket could be the same issues which probably prevented him from running for President.
When Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas, he pardoned Maurice Clemons, a man who's criminal history included five felony convictions In 2009, killed 4 police officers in cold blood as they sat in a Lakewood, Washington coffee house.
The fact is that even after Clemons went on a spree in Arkansas that was so violent that a judge saw fit to sentence him to 95 years behind bars, Governor Huckabee issued Clemons clemency, and he did so over the objections of prosecutors.
In 1988 then Vice President George H.W. Bush used a similar incident in the now infamous Willie Horton ad, to decimate the Democrat presidential nominee, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis.
For obvious reasons, this will more than likely derail any chance for Huckabee to selected by Mitt Romney as his running mate.
Excellent campaigner who can connect with voters, especially Independents
Can help Romney bolster his standing among Southerners and evangelicals
Has a fairly decent conservative record on the issues
Executive experience
High, positive national name ID
Helps to firm up Romney's committment to his opposition to abortion
Has a serious Willie Horton-like issue hanging in his closet
The material used against Romney by Huckabee in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination against Romney in 2008 could be used against Romney again in 2012. This is not a lethal factor, but it is a consideration.
Huckabee may sincerely not be interested in seeking elected office
General Assessment:
Huckabee would make a decent compromise candidate for Vice President who helps compensate for some of the weaknesses that Romney has among conservatives, Southerners, and evangelicals.
He is a good, smooth talking, campaigner who is quick on his feet and could actually make a good choice were it not for the Clemons clemency tragedy, which is far to significant to not become an issue during the campaign and does raise serious, legitimate doubt about Huckabee's judgement.
Huck is a possible but not probable choice for the Republican vice presidential nomination.

Is Romney Signaling that He Will Tap Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for Vice President?
Praise for Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell by Mitt Romney during a Wednesday campaign stop in Virginia, has many speculating that if nominated President, he will tap McDonnell as his Vice presidential running mate.
Speaking at Virginia's Fairfax County Republican headquarters, Romney called McDonnell one of the "great leaders of the Republican Party." He added, "He's a terrific governor doing a great job here in Virginia." and stated "I say nice things about Governor McDonnell every time I have a chance".
The remarks do not necessarily indicate that Romney is ready to pick McDonnell if he wins the G.O.P. presidential nomination. What it does mean is that Romney is smart enough to appeal to Virginians by agreeing with them. Governor McDonnell receives extraordinarily high approval from Virginia voters and to do anything other align himself with McDonnell would quite frankly, be a sign of severe brain damage.
Governor McDonnell is doing a fine job in Virginia and a look at his near perfect conservative record would make one believe that he might be a better Republican presidential candidate than those now running. However, even though Barack Obama won Virginia in 2008, that is unlikely to be repeated. Virginia is normally a reliably Republican state when it comes to presidential politics, and is likely to be that way in 2012 regardless of who the G.O.P. nominee is. So for electoral purposes, McDonnell is not going to be needed to deliver Virginia's electoral college vote to the Republican presidential ticket.
For the purpose of having an edge in the electoral college, Republicans may want to look at more truly competitive swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada or even, to a lesser extent, Florida, where the obvious choice is Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
No matter what though, Governor McDonnell will be and deserves to be on everyone's short list. Which is why there should not be too much read into Romney's remarks in Virginia about their popular Governor. The only remarks about McDonnell that should raise eyebrows would be negative ones. Had Romney stood in the headquarters of one of Virginia's county Republican headquarters and said of their popular Governor something like "Bob McDonnell is okay, but I can take him or leave him", that would deserve attention.
Meanwhile, I remain reluctant to discuss vice presidential contenders until we know for sure who the Republican presidential nominee will be. However I will say that my initial instincts tell me that if Romney is the nominee, Bob McDonnell is not his most likely choice. As I previously pointed out, Virginia should easily go Republican in the presidential election no matter who the G.O.P. nominee is. Add to that the imagery of Romney and McDonnell together and what you have is a ticket that looks almost too perfect. Kind of like the cake topper of gay wedding cake.
Personally I believe that when it comes to Romney, he is going to have to go with a conservative but unconventional running mate.
So far Romney is tied too closely to the establishment and his reluctance to be bold in his policy choices leaves the selection of a running mate to be one of the few opportunities to step out of the establishment mold. All things considered, I can see Romney picking someone like South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley or even more likely than her, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez. Like Marco Rubio, she is conservative, strongly appreciated in the TEA movement, from an important swing state and offers the opportunity to make inroads into the increasingly important and influential Hispanic vote.
Another bold choice could be Herman Cain. His strong TEA movement appeal and anti-career politician profile will make him attractive on an ticket, and helps Romney shore up his conservative credentials.
Then there is a real wildcard choice for Romney……… former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee may have very well cost Romney the nomination in 2008 and there is undoubtedly still some bad blood between the two men. But they have seemingly warmed up to one another since 2008. Huckabee even had Mitt Romney on his weekly Fox News program.
Picking Huckabee could be a way for Romney to inject new blood and new life in to what will be a news weary electorate by the time the Republican National Convention is held in late August of next year. Adding Huckabee to the ticket will also appeal to the evangelicals that Romney really needs to appeal to and overcome their prejudices toward his Mormon faith. As an ordained Southern Baptist minister, Huckabee could go a long way in helping Romney among the evangelical flocks that will be important to a Republican victory. Mike Huckabee does have some luggage of his own, but when it comes to Mitt, Huckabee would be more compensation than burden.

"Torn by his daughter's suicide, an existentialist writer must recapture his faith in humanity while journeying in a magic wonderland." Not a real logline, but I've read dozens that were very similar.
Loglines like this skirt around the actual meat of the movie. They don't have a single picture in them. I get the goal, but I need to see the visual means by which the goal is achieved. The means are very, very important.
This logline is a premise, but it doesn't suggest anything about how it'll be executed.
It could be dark: He must make sure his parents fall in love by brutally murdering their other partners.
It could be trippy: He must make use of the machine from ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND to create a magical world of memory traps to ensure they fall in love.
It could be talky: In service of this goal, he engages on a series of existential conversations a la MY DINNER WITH ANDRE.
It could be 80's formula: To survive, he must teach his dorky dad how to beat the town bully in the county-wide drag race.
Or it could be Back to the Future: He must teach his dad to be a man while avoiding the town bully and his amorous mother in a series of clever action bits and scams that inadvertently create 50's teen culture.
A young jester must learn to joust with the help of an unorthodox magician to destroy an evil knight and get the maiden fair.
In a world where only teens are sharp enough to play a video game that pilots space ships, a young cadet must learn to fly with the help of an unorthodox trainer or else lose his girl to a dickish hotshot.
In the zombie blighted ruins of America, a young farmer must learn to slay the zed or else lose his girl to a wandering mercenary.
A kid from the inner city must learn to fence or else lose his scholarship and lose his girl to the captain of the Yale team.
The means allow you to see what the image is on the poster, they change a karate movie to a MMA movie, a standup comedy movie, or even a zombie movie. If you know what the means are, you can make a list of how you'll explore them. These become your set pieces in the second act. More on that later.
You might be thinking, "I've read a lot of loglines, and none of these go into such detail on the means." You're right. This is an exercise that over-emphasizes the means of your story. By focusing on it now, you'll internalize this very useful principle so that you'll internalize it and ensure that you're actual logline hints at the means and the genre of the story in a more elegant way.
The means are one of many tricks that take a logline from terrible to average. They help you crystallize your idea in a way that transmits from your mind to another mind without losing fidelity.

Europe has made serious mistakes in climate negotiations. It signalised an overly high willingness to pay for a C02-agreement and made too many unilateral concessions. This harmed Europe and made an international climate agreement less likely.
The 18th Climate Change Conference in Doha, which took place from November 18 to December 8, 2012, was a massive event with reportedly more than 20,000 participants. Doha has (now) become part of a long tradition of environment summit meetings that had its perhaps more hopeful beginnings in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro and has taken place almost annually since 1995. The decisions made can be described as vague at best and the outcome adds to the list of failures of past years in Bali, Poznań, Copenhagen, Cancún and Durban.
Voluntary participation and the formation of coalitions for a climate agreement has been the object of much analytical research, beginning with the theoretical work of the environment economists Carlo Carraro and Domenico Siniscalco around 20 years ago. This work shows impressively: climate negotiations are a difficult matter and a successful agreement between all, or even a large group of countries is difficult to achieve. For international climate negotiations to be successful, more than one hundred states are to enter into an international contract. This contract would have to bind them for decades. Moreover, the nature of the contract would typically be such that each and every signatory would be in a better position should all parties but the respective signatory sign the contract and stick to it. Moreover, the parties who negotiate are sovereign governments that must justify their actions internally. As sovereign decision makers they also keep the right to deny their obligations from the climate agreement or to simply disregard the contract should they desire to do so in later years. These alone are adversities that make success of international climate negotiations unlikely.
Two further aspects are also responsible for the meeting's failure. A famous paper by the Nobel Prize laureate Roger Myerson and his co-author Mark Satterthwaite shows just how important it is to correctly assess the seller's reservation prices and the willingness of the buyer to pay, if two players are negotiating a sales agreement. Mutually incomplete information about each other's true preferences is an important reason why negotiations may fail. Applied to climate negotiations: such negotiations fail with high probability if the negotiators each think that the other side wants the agreement at any price. In a recent paper, entitled "Climate policy negotiations with incomplete information", Kai A. Konrad and Marcel Thum elaborate on this point. The authors analyse bargaining over international climate agreements in a setting with incomplete information about countries' respective own cost of climate gas emission reductions. They compare bargaining in which one of the countries enters into these negotiations having already made a unilateral commitment to high own contributions to emission reductions, with bargaining in a situation without such unilateral commitment. They find that unilateral commitment is likely to reduce the probability that negotiations will lead to an efficient bargaining agreement. Intuitively, in the negotiations own contributions to emission reduction are an important bargaining chip. When a country offers such own reductions, it offers something that costs the country less than the benefit the reductions generate for the other countries. It has to offer something that is mutually beneficial. Existence of this mutually beneficial trade makes it more likely that they find an outcome that is attractive for all countries at the negotiation table. Unilateral commitment to a given amount of own emission reductions independently of the bargaining outcome removes this bargaining chip from the table and this reduces the likelihood of a successful negotiation outcome.
Several European countries, especially Germany, have made serious mistakes regarding their negotiation strategies. They have allowed the United States, China and poor countries to believe, – and they fostered the belief – that Europe's willingness to pay for a climate agreement is remarkably high. Europe now comes to the bargaining table and meets other country leaders who have these utterly overdrawn expectations. Moreover, Germany and Europe have promised, and in some cases undertaken, unilateral climate emission reduction measures. They have committed themselves to doing something for the climate with or without action from others and, thereby, have effectively presented their most important bargaining chip on a silver platter: their own climate contribution. This happened with practically no reciprocal commitment, trusting that such generosity would be rewarded. This behaviour was not conducive to a potential climate agreement.
The Scientific Advisory Board to the German Federal Ministry of Finance pointed some of these problems out several years ago and stressed that individual states' strategies in the event of climate change are of great importance to climate negotiations. A few weeks before Doha, the National Academy of Science and Engineering in Germany gave the all-clear concerning Germany's adjustment to the potential effects of climate change: Climate change will not cause the same conditions in Germany that will be difficult to overcome elsewhere. One could exaggerate and state: Some parts of Germany may be about as warm as Rome in the worst case scenario. Besides a couple of adjustments in coastal and water protection and in agriculture and forestry, nothing much is on the agenda. In several areas, climate change bears not only bad news for Germany. The adjustments could mean higher crop yields and the higher air-conditioning costs in summer can be balanced against lower heating costs in winter. Many international negotiating partners are far more heavily affected by climate change, yet they commit themselves far less to climate protection targets. If these countries understood that they themselves have a far greater interest in climate protection than Germany, they would reduce their demands towards Germany to a more reasonable level. They would then accept that they themselves must act and that Europe will not act alone to save the climate for them. Such perspectives could spur the success of the climate negotiations at future climate summits.
One could say that it is cynical for the rich "Old World" to remove itself in such a way from responsibility. Whoever says that, though, is forgetting two things. The agreement is the target. If this vocal confession of moral responsibility only proceeds to hinder the realisation of an agreement, nothing is won. Incidentally: If the goal really was to help poor countries and fight hunger and disease in the third-world, there have been opportunities enough in past decades and down to the present day to do just that. Perhaps that would be the best climate protection policy for the affected countries. Nobel Prize laureate Thomas Schelling argues somewhat along these lines. Poor countries are especially threatened by climate change because they are poor. It is the ability of a society to adapt to the environment and its changes that is responsible for its prosperity. This ability requires three things. A high level of technical knowledge makes the modes of adaption available. A good education puts a society in such a position that it can capitalise on technical knowledge. Finally, an affluent society has the means to finance these adaption measures.
We must, therefore, also acknowledge that, in climate politics, adaption and prevention do not simply stand beside each other according to the motto: More is better. The two also have conflicting goals and one can use the existing resources only once. Those who would invest in climate change prevention alone, and not in research, education and other investments that enable the world's future prosperity, reduce adaptability and, thereby, possibly squander the most important chance our children have.

Rasal
At age 16 Rasal experimented with alternative lifestyles, and soon after began exploring life & the world by traveling. During a journey through India in 1978/79 he discovered the Indian mystic Osho and found his whole being resonating with Osho and his powerful logical message of truth. Finally, in 1985 he moved to Osho's Ashram in Pune where he immersed himself deeply in various meditation techniques and de-conditioning therapy groups of which the Rebalancing massage trainings became his best interest, In his own words: "I am fascinated beyond measure with this 'mysterious manifested love energy' condensed in this "body-mind-heart" phenomenon known as "the human body", the temple of our soul. Our body is a micro-cosmos in itself, and its capacities to balance and heal itself are beyond comprehension. I consider myself gifted and fortunate to be able to support and assist people on their life journey towards optimal health, the awakening of love & consciousness, and perhaps inshallah finally towards enlightenment and ultimate freedom."

Q: Android: how to use SectionIndexer I am trying to find a way to use SectionIndexer, instead of AlphabetIndexer. What I am interested to do is to have elements of a string arrays on the section headers instead of alphabets. I have not been able to find any sample code using section indexer.
Here is a sample code for AlphabetIndexer:
private AlphabetIndexer indexer;
indexer = new AlphabetIndexer(c, c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(
   DbHelper.COUNTRIES_NAME),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");

Is it possible to pass a stringArray instead of "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" to the AlphabetIndexer so I can for example instead of "A", "B", ..."Z" as header have "Book", "Food", ...on the headers?
If not what is the best way to do that? Any reference to a sample code that uses SectionIndexer instead of AlphabetIndexer would be helpful as well.
Thanks for the help.

A: You can try to write a custom ArrayAdapter and basically return a "section header" view in the getView(...) method for the positions where headers should appear.
You'll also have to overwrite getViewTypeCount () to return the number of new types of views (in this case 2) and getItemViewType (int position) to return the type of view for the current position.
Also, the onItemClickListener should check to see if the item you clicked on is a section header.
This is my custom array adapter:
public class ItemListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ModelItem>
{
    private static final int    TYPE_SECTION_HEADER = 0;
    private static final int    TYPE_LIST_ITEM  = 1;

    int mDefaultRowLayoutResID;
    Context mContext;
    LayoutInflater mInflater;
    ArrayList<ModelItem> lItems;

    public ItemListAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<ModelItem> items)
    {
        super(context, resource, items);
        mContext = context;
        mResource = resource;
        mInflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        lItems = items;
    }

    @Override
    public ModelItem getItem(int position)
    {
        return lItems.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount()
    {
        return lItems.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getViewTypeCount()
    {
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position)
    {
        ModelItem item = lItems.get(position);
        if (item.isHeader())
        {
            return TYPE_SECTION_HEADER;
        }
        else
        {
            return TYPE_LIST_ITEM;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {
        ViewHolder holder;
        ModelItem item = getItem(position);

        if (convertView == null)
        {
            if (item.isHeader())
            {
                convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.row_item_section_header, null);
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                holder.title = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_header_title);
                holder.subtitle = null;
                convertView.setTag(holder);
            }
            else
            {
                convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.row_item_default, null);
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                holder.title = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.row_item_title);
                holder.subtitle = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.row_item_subtitle);
                convertView.setTag(holder);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        holder.title.setText(item.getTitle());
        if (holder.subtitle != null)
        {
            holder.subtitle.setText(item.getSubtitle());
        }
        return convertView;
    }

    private class ViewHolder
    {
        public TextView title;
        public TextView subtitle;
        public ImageView leftIcon;
        public View rightControl;
    }
}

This is the row_item_default.xml file:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/row_item_title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/row_item_subtitle"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/row_item_title"
    />
</RelativeLayout>

and this is the row_item_section_header.xml:
<TextView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/list_header_title"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
/>

The ModelItem class is a simple container for title, subtitle and a boolean to tell if it's a section header or not.
This is not the only way to write this adapter but I hope this helps.

Weather, cheap politics and the power of nature
Rick Salutin
Last weekend American politics reached a bizarre point: in order to justify their existence, government leaders decided to do something about what human beings have always agreed you can't do anything about: the weather. So we had their frenetic reactions to Hurricane Irene.
U.S. politicians have spent 30 years saying government is the enemy, Washington is broken, get them off the backs of the people. It had to eventually raise doubts about the whole enterprise; why not ditch public life entirely? They backed themselves into a corner. They needed an out. Hence Irene and the calls for evacuation, transit shutdowns, etc. When the hurricane looked like it might underperform you could see them trying to talk up the danger, as if offering it encouragement as it lost force. They finally seemed to be doing something.
It's true President Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg flubbed some recent weather challenges and might have wanted to take the makeup test. But what about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, among the brightest and rightest leaders, who told people to get the hell off the Jersey shore? He said government's main job is saving human life, putting himself on the spot. He wasn't going to call for a pullout from Afghanistan, where U.S. forces had just taken their worst fatalities yet. He had to back it up somehow.
I grant there was hypocrisy. They didn't take on weather in the form of global warming, which would have meant conflict with the oil industry and junk science lobby. They took on a hurricane. It seemed more manly. And it happened that most damage was done by power outages and failure to restore them, due to deterioration in public infrastructure. No one talked about that. I heard from a friend in D.C. just as his power went. He said it might last days, unlike Pune, in India, where he also has a home. They fix it quickly there, he said. "First World conditions" has now clearly become a negative.
But I think there was also something sincere in their will to roll up their sleeves (literally, it's the common trope) and act. No one wants to be a total fake in their public role and self-image. If you spend your life as a leader, it must be nice to occasionally try some leading, rather than denouncing action or tearing down what others have built.
And let me say something nice concerning weather. Weather obsesses people not just because it affects them, but because it also adds a certain majesty to their lives. It frames private experience in a larger context. It offers us an element of transcendence, you could say. You feel this when you sit on the dock at the end of a summer and watch a storm form, as I did on the night Irene was approaching New York. In the city you feel these moments less frequently and so people look for other things to inject extended meanings into their lives. That may involve historic moments like next week's commemoration of 9/11, or elections, or even an iconic concert tour. Don't knock it, it comes from a need for something larger.
If Canadians felt less engrossed than Americans in Irene last weekend, I think it's because we had our own transcendent event: Jack Layton's funeral. People have asked if it was overdone, if "they" made it more than it was, and I think the answer is Yes. For some it was personally meaningful but for others it was one more Event with a little grandeur to it. Stephen Lewis said, "Never... have we seen such an outpouring," but I disagree. It happened when Trudeau died, when Diana died, even when Barbara Frum died.
In earlier times such outpourings clustered reliably around seasonal agricultural festivals and related religious ceremonies like sacrifice and prayer. We live in another context so we find other pretexts. When I began writing this column, I didn't mean to say anything kind about the Weather Channel and, believe me, it irks. But there you go, even TV and cheap politics can't totally diminish the power of nature.
This column was first published in the Toronto Star.
Hurricanes of denial
Although this is the earliest ever for tropical storms of this size — September being the norm — nowhere, especially not in the big media in the U.S., do I find the expression "global warming."
Deadly hurricanes: Are we getting the message?
As one behemoth storm after another slams into the United States, I'm all ears waiting for the words "climate change" to be uttered in the American election campaign.
babble: Hurricane!
Evacuations up and down the U.S. East Coast were under way Friday as Hurricane Irene barrelled north from America's southern states and threatened up to 65 million people.

Police investigating fatal car crash in Cold Spring Harbor
Times of Huntington-Northport
by Sara-Megan Walsh - January 18, 2019
Suffolk County Police 2nd Squad detectives are investigating a motor vehicle crash that killed a man in Cold Spring Harbor Thursday morning.
Jason Mocte-Zuma was operating a 2013 Honda Civic sedan northbound on Harbor Road when his vehicle struck a utility pole and overturned at approximately 11 a.m. Mocte-Zuma, 21, of Huntington Station, was transported by Cold Spring Harbor Rescue to Huntington Hospital where he was pronounced dead. There were no passengers in the vehicle.
The vehicle was impounded for a safety check.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact the 2nd Squad at 631-854-8252.
Iconic bull statue involved in single-car accident

Smithtown's iconic Whisper the Bull, a 5-foot-tall statue located at the intersection of Route 25 and Route 25A in Smithtown, narrowly avoided damage in a single-car accident Dec. 24.
On Christmas Eve, a driver veered off road near the intersection into the green space, colliding into the base wall. The unidentified driver was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to town officials.

The bronze statue avoided any major damage and the base wall and the area around the monument sustained minor damage, according to Smithtown spokeswoman Nicole Garguilo.
"Thankfully there was no damage to the statue or its base," Garguilo said. "The concrete around the landscape wall, a Christmas sign as well as a wooden menorah were the only things damaged."
The iconic statue was recently ruled eligible for landmark status on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places run by New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The monument commemorates the legend of the town's origins that claims founder Richard Smythe rode a bull to establish the town's boundaries.
Smithtown resident Corey Geske appealed to Smithtown town officials in December to sign off on a formal application for the registry as the official owners of the monument.
Geske said she was relieved to hear the statue and the surrounding area avoided serious damage, though suggested it would good to keep an eye on it and to get experts to look at it.
"The base [of the statue] seems to have been saved," Geske said. "The brick landscape wall surrounding the statue looks to have kept it from any damage."
There were already plans in place to repair the base of the statue prior to the accident, according to Garguilo. These repairs included fixing a visible crack along "Smithtown" in the inscription and can be seen running from front to back of the platform as well as additional landscaping.
"This is part of the legacy of the community and the town. It would be a shame if it was lost for future generations."
— Corey Geske
Garguilo said after the incident the town will try to speed up the planned renovations to the statue's base.
Since 2017, Geske has been working on a three-part plan for the revitalization of downtown Smithtown, which includes preservation of the statue as part of a proposed historic corridor.
One of the criteria the state park's department will consider when evaluating the monument for placement on the state Register of Historic Places includes its "artistic value" and current condition, according to the state's website. Repairing the crack in the statue's base will not have any impact on Whisper's eligibility, according to Garguilo, but any damage to the statue itself could have negatively affected its ability to qualify for landmark status.
"This is part of the legacy of the community and the town," Geske said. "It would be a shame if it was lost for future generations."

A senior at Shoreham-Wading River High School was recently recognized as a hero for helping to save the life of her best friend over the summer.
Jillian Dinowitz snapped into action when she heard Ryan Magill screaming.
It was Aug. 9 and Dinowitz, 17, was in a powerboat on Moriches Bay giving sailing lessons to kids, ages 8 to 12, as an instructor at the Moriches Yacht Club. Her lifelong friend Magill, 17, who was instructing kids in another boat, had fallen overboard and was wailing and thrashing in red water. His left arm and pectoral region had been severely cut by the boat's propeller.
Jillian Dinowitz, on left with Ryan Magill, are best friends and avid boaters since age 7. Photo from Jillian Dinowitz
Dinowitz, joined by another friend and instructor, rushed over to Magill, pulled him out of the water by his life jacket and got to work. As the boat sped back to shore and emergency services were called, Dinowitz focused on keeping her friend calm and awake while Katlyn Lindahl, 18, made a tourniquet out of a towel and T-shirt. Dinowitz and Lindahl pressed it tightly against his blood-soaked arm.
"I honestly don't know how I did it — it's kind of a blur," said Dinowitz, who admitted to feeling queasy at the sight of blood. "I would've done this for anybody in the water but just seeing that it was somebody so close to me, I kind of held myself together and just tried to stay strong for him. He's the one that needed help at the time."
Lindahl said while the two of them have had first aid training, their actions were entirely based on instinct.
"This was definitely a fight or flight thing," she said. "There was no time at all really to think about what to do."
Once back on land, Magill, a senior at Center Moriches High School, was emergency airlifted off the property to Stony Brook University Hospital. There, he underwent major surgeries. The doctors had to take a nerve out of his leg and transplant it into the damaged part of his shoulder.
They told him that if the girls hadn't acted as quickly and effectively as they did, there was a good chance he could've died from blood loss or, at best, lost his arm.
"The difference they made was the difference between me being here and me not being here," said Magill, who has since been slowly but steadily on the road to recovery. While he has trouble with menial tasks like tying his shoes and must wear a brace, he said he's regained 50 percent of movement back in his arm and shoulder. "I'm doing very well, actually, and it's thanks to Jillian and Katlyn. They literally saved my life and I'm in debt to them forever."
His mother, Heather Magill, said her son has been incredibly positive throughout the entire experience and can be seen smiling every day no matter how tough things are.
"We're in awe of him," she said.
"After the accident, when we went to visit him in the recovery room, he said to my husband and me, 'I love you guys … I need you to get me my phone, I have to call Jillian and Katlyn and tell them thank you for saving my life.'"
— Heather Magill
Magill's and Dinowitz's mothers, who have been best friends since high school, said the two teens have been inseparable since they were born. They joined the yacht club together when they were 7.
"I know in my heart there's not a thing [Jillian] wouldn't do for him in this whole world,"Heather Magill said. "It's a testament to their friendship. We love her like family. After the accident, when we went to visit him in the recovery room, he said to my husband and me, 'I love you guys … I need you to get me my phone, I have to call Jillian and Katlyn and tell them thank you for saving my life.'"
But for Jillian Dinowitz, it's all about Ryan Magill getting back to his old self.
"When I visited him the day after the accident, it really hit me that something really serious happened, but it turned out okay and things are going to be better from there," she said. "It's amazing that he's never gotten down about himself through all of this and has always been positive and willing to work hard to be where he was before the accident. It's so inspiring."
Nearly four months after the incident, on Nov. 28, the Shoreham-Wading River board of education honored Dinowitz, an Advanced Placement student and member of the school's varsity tennis team, for her heroism, dedication and courage. As it happened in Center Moriches, Dinowitz said nobody at the school really knew about the incident, but it felt good to be recognized.
"Our true character often shines the brightest when we're thrust into challenging circumstances," high school Principal Frank Pugliese said of Dinowitz. "When that happened to Jillian this past summer, she rose to the occasion and helped to save a young man's life. The entire Shoreham-Wading River community is so incredibly proud of her for her quick thinking and brave actions."
Street renamed after Miller Place teen killed by car

Nico's Way serves as reminder of child's character

After her son was fatally struck by an SUV earlier this year, Kim Signore of Miller Place feared 14-year-old Nico would be forgotten. But a new street sign on the block where the budding lacrosse star grew up will help preserve his memory forever.
The Signores huddled together alongside family, friends and elected officials Oct. 6 during an unveiling of the sign labeled Nico's Way. The dedication was done on the corner of Miller Place Road and Islander Court in Miller Place for the boy who died riding his bike on a busy intersection on Route 25A in February. The street sign, which stands only a few houses down from the Signore residence, was installed by the Town of Brookhaven at the request of members of the family.
"This block is where it all began for Nico," the boy's older brother, Vincent Jr., said before the unveiling. "Nico left us too soon, but in the little time he was here on this Earth he taught us how to live life to the fullest. He will never be forgotten. We hope that this street serves as a compass when you are lost and can't find your way."

Kathleen Perry, a longtime friend of the Signore family, agrees the dedication is a wonderful way to help Nico live on.
"Nico just lit up this block," Perry said, remembering the 14-year-old as the most kindhearted boy she'd met. "I think this is a great thing for the town to do."
Nico's aunt, Mary Alipo, said although the family will never be the same after the tragedy, townwide support is helping with the healing process.
"He was such an amazing individual and to see this many people who cared about him coming forward and serving as a support group is just incredible," Alipo said.
Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) commended the Miller Place community for rallying around the Signores in their time of need.
"Thank you for opening your hearts and your arms to the Signores — I know you will forever keep Nico's memory in your embrace," Bonner said to the large crowd, including Miller Place school district faculty, members of Nico's lacrosse team and neighbors, as well as Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R). "You have all been there to prop them up, hug them when they needed it and dry their tears. This is a wonderful community."

An emotional Kim Signore held back tears as she thanked everyone in attendance.
"You guys are amazing," she said.
Upon losing Nico, the mother's greatest fear was that, over time, her son's legacy would disappear.
"This is a way to always remember him because he was such a good kid — a beautiful boy inside and out," she said. She laughed recalling the impromptu dance sessions to Frank Sinatra songs that Nico often initiated. "He would come downstairs in his lacrosse shorts, and no shirt and say, 'Let's dance, ma.' He was a good boy. He loved this community. He loved everybody."
The idea for a street sign initially came from Kim and Vincent, Nico's father, and was carried through by Nico's aunt and uncle, Kelly and Charles Butruch, who were in contact with Romaine and Bonner for most of the year. As Brookhaven policy requires a six-month window between a person's death and public memorialization, a resolution for Nico's Way was approved at the end of August.
Vincent Signore hopes that the sign will serve as not only a memorialization of his son but as a reminder to drivers to be more careful.
"I would like for people to be more aware of their surroundings when they're driving and not be distracted," he said.
Since Nico's death at the intersection of Miller Place Road and Route 25A, there have been significant changes to the location to ensure better safety for pedestrians and drivers alike.

Around what would have been Nico's 15th birthday in April, the road saw the implementation of a red left-turn signal to stop cars from entering the crosswalk when pedestrians and bicyclists are given the go-ahead to get to the other side. No turn on red signs were also added.
"It's bittersweet," Kelly Butruch said. "A year ago, did I think we would be here today? No, and I wish we didn't have to be, but it's the best way to memorialize him."
Michael Lombardi, a Miller Place 10th grader
and lacrosse player, remembers his friend as an amazing person on and off the field.
A scholarship fund for Miller Place seniors who show exemplary spirit, courage and love of community was given out to two students this past May. The family intends to continue the fund throughout the future.
As the Signores and community members gathered under the sign, they shared stories of the highly regarded student-athlete.
"Nico was astounding," Lombardi said. "He had a great personality — he was funny. He was always nice to everybody and a great player. Whenever we needed a goalie, he stepped up. He's greatly missed."
Another of Nico's former teammates, Kevin Thompson, said his friend will never be forgotten.
"Whenever you pass the sign here and look at it, we'll think of him," he said.

Féile Bríde – Brigid's Festival is a week- long series of events commencing on the eve of St.Brigid's Day, the first day of February.
Féile Bríde, incorporates a Peace and Justice conference in collaboration with Afri – Action from Ireland, workshops, and a candle lit ritual on Brigid's Eve at the well. Pilgrimage and a Peace and Justice Conference are core components. The secular and the sacred are intertwined. There is something for everybody. Local school children dramatise the legends of Brigid. Brigid crosses are woven by young and old. The celebration of Eucharist and other creative rituals are conducted in the local churches. The pilgrimage and ritual at St. Brigid's well on January 31st draws hundreds of people from near and far. The customs associated with Brigid are celebrated. Artists entertain those who come to a feast of poetry, music, song and ceili (Irish dancing.) The exciting growth and success of the Feile has its source in the energy and efforts of the community from which it sprung.
"Since 1993, at the start of every February, I have watched large groups of men and women gather in my home county of Kildare. They come to welcome the beginning of spring.Tthey come to Kildare because it is the home of Brigid, whose feast day is February 1st. Brigid is the goddess of love, poetry, justice in prechristian Ireland, and she is the patron saint of Kildare.
People also come to Kildare at this time, to speak about justice in the world, or lack of it.
There is reflection, talk, music and dance. It is not a big trendy festival, but a gathering of people who want to celebrate the coming of spring, and who want to call Brigids' qualities into the world, to light a spark for change.

This is only strictly true if you're male; men have around 30 times more testosterone than women which is why bulking is much more noticeable in men. In fact, strength or weight training can help you lose weight in the long run as you're likely to burn a lot more fat during your workout. Training with weights increases the number of calories you burn so it's time to stop backing away from the free weights and get lifting.
We wish. They may be the most famous of ab exercises but crunches alone will not give you that six-pack everyone will envy. For starters, their low calorie burn means they don't help with fat loss. Secondly; a well-honed six-pack relies upon a super healthy diet to strip your body of any non-essential fats and toxins. We all have ab muscles somewhere; it's about bringing them out with a clean diet and all-body fitness regime to cut back body fat.
It may be better for you than a bar of chocolate but fruit contains a high amount of sugar. In achieving your 5-a-day, it's best to get more portions of veg in your diet as they have more minerals and vitamins and less calories. If you're a fan of smoothies in the morning, add some spinach or kale to the mix to increase your veggie intake. Struggle with the green stuff at dinner? Roasted vegetables are just as healthy and that bit more delicious so long as they're not cooked in too much oil.
Diets such as Atkins have, for many years, given us the impression that losing weight is all about cutting carbs from your diet. But this isn't strictly true. Whilst white and processed carbs aren't the best (chips, crisps, white pasta, white bread etc), we all need some form of carbohydrate to maintain a balanced diet. It's impossible to avoid all carbs as they can even be found in fruit so rather than completely cutting them out, be smarter with your carb choices. Go for brown rice, brown pasta, wholemeal bread and sweet potatoes; you're going to need them if you want enough fuel to gain muscle and stamina in your next workout.
This is one of the most dangerous myths as spending too much time in the gym can mean two things; you're not working hard enough or you're working too hard. Both are bad for you, particularly overtraining as this means your muscles won't have enough time to recover and you are at higher risk of getting injured. Make sure your time in the gym is well spent with a proper programme and goal in mind; an intense 30 minute workout is better for you than a prolonged, 3 hour stint.
