Peace Initiatives

President Barack Obama's special Middle East envoy says the US administration is determined to achieve a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace settlement.
Obama to push for lasting Middle East peace

George Mitchell was speaking to reporters in Damascus following talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad.

It is Mitchell's second visit to Syria since he took up his post, unusual because the country is listed by Washington as a state sponsor of terrorism and was snubbed by President Bush.

Last month, Mitchell became the highest-level US administration official to visit Damascus since 2005.

He said stability, security and prosperity for all of the states in the region could only occur following a full and wide-ranging peace deal.

COULD YOU SURVIVE WITHOUT MONEY?

COULD YOU SURVIVE WITHOUT MONEY?
MEET THE GUY WHO DOES
In Utah, a modern-day caveman has lived for the better part of a decade on zero dollars a day. People used to think he was crazy

DANIEL SUELO LIVES IN A CAVE. UNLIKE THE average American—wallowing in credit-card debt, clinging to a mortgage, terrified of the next downsizing at the office—he isn't worried about the economic crisis. That's because he figured out that the best way to stay solvent is to never be solvent in the first place. Nine years ago, in the autumn of 2000, Suelo decided to stop using money. He just quit it, like a bad drug habit.

His dwelling, hidden high in a canyon lined with waterfalls, is an hour by foot from the desert town of Moab, Utah, where people who know him are of two minds: He's either a latter-day prophet or an irredeemable hobo. Suelo's blog, which he maintains free at the Moab Public Library, suggests that he's both. "When I lived with money, I was always lacking," he writes. "Money represents lack. Money represents things in the past (debt) and things in the future (credit), but money never represents what is present."

On a warm day in early spring, I clamber along a set of red-rock cliffs to the mouth of his cave, where I find a note signed with a smiley face: CHRIS, FEEL FREE TO USE ANYTHING, EAT ANYTHING (NOTHING HERE IS MINE). From the outside, the place looks like a hollowed teardrop, about the size of an Amtrak bathroom, with enough space for a few pots that hang from the ceiling, a stove under a stone eave, big buckets full of beans and rice, a bed of blankets in the dirt, and not much else. Suelo's been here for three years, and it smells like it.

Letter from Wife to Husband

Poems written by wife to husband

I wrote your name on sand it got washed.
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away. Then
I wrote your name on my heart & I got Heart Attack.
******
God saw me hungry, he created pizza .
He saw me thirsty, he created Pepsi .
He saw me in dark, he created light .
He saw me without problems, he created YOU.
******
Twinkle Twinkle little star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.
******
The rain makes all things beautiful.
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
Why doesn't it rain on you?
******
Roses are red, Violets are blue
Monkeys like u should be kept in zoo.
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
Not in cage but laughing at you

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's father said the King of Pop was not ready perform 50 shows in London, in a TV interview that aired the day the singer was scheduled to start his long-awaited comeback. Skip related content
Joe Jackson told ABC News that his son told him that he only agreed to perform 10 shows in London, but that the concert promoter booked more shows to bring the total to 50.

"I was worried about his health, because all the shows that I'm seeing, no artist can do that many shows back to back like that," Joe Jackson told ABC News in an interview broadcast on Monday. "So I knew Michael couldn't do all those shows without some rests in between."

In a statement, Randy Phillips, president and chief executive of concert promoter AEG Live, acknowledged on Monday that the number of shows was originally lower, but said Jackson had agreed to perform more.

"Our original agreement with Michael Jackson called for 31 shows," Phillips said.

When the response to the initial announcement of 10 shows was so overwhelming, AEG Live went to Jackson's then advisor, Dr. Tohme Tohme, and asked if the singer would be willing to do more, Phillips said. The first show was scheduled for July 13 with the remainder were spread out until February 2010.

Tohme told AEG Live that Jackson would perform 50, and Jackson himself said he was motivated to embark on a record-setting run of concerts, Phillips said.

The singer, 50, had previously passed a lengthy physical head of his first live concert series in 12 years and was rehearsing in Los Angeles the day before his death.

Jackson died of cardiac arrest on June 25, after he stopped breathing and paramedics were called to his Los Angeles home.

In a separate interview, Michael Jackson's sister, La Toya Jackson, told The Daily Mail that her brother was "murdered" by a conspiracy of people around him.

La Toya Jackson said she believes her brother was overworked to rehearse and prepare for the concert series, and that he was intentionally separated from his family.

After the L.A. Coroner examined Jackson's body, his family ordered a second, private autopsy on the singer.

"He had needle marks on his neck and his arms and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks," La Toya Jackson told the Daily Mail.

"I cannot discuss that any further as I may jeopardize the investigation," she said. "I can, however, say that I have not changed my mind about my feeling that Michael was murdered."

La Toya Jackson also said her suspicions were raised by medical equipment, including oxygen tanks and a stand with a cord hanging down, in a room at her brother's home.

Media reports have said that the dangerous sedative Diprivan -- normally used in hospitals by anaesthesiologists -- was found at the singer's home.

Los Angeles police have revealed few details of their investigation, and the L.A. Coroner said it will release the results of its autopsy within weeks.

Iraq beefs up security after attacks on Christians

Iraq beefs up security after attacks on Christians
QASSIM ADBUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer Qassim Adbul-zahra, Associated Press Writer – Mon Jul 13, 12:35 pm ET
BAGHDAD – Iraqi officials tightened security around churches in Baghdad and in two mostly Christian towns on Monday and braced for possible violence this weekend when huge crowds visit a holy Shiite shrine in the capital.

A series of church bombings targeting Iraq's Christian minority killed at least four people Sunday, including one that happened as worshippers were leaving Mass in eastern Baghdad. Iraq's Christians have often been targeted by Islamic extremists, and many have fled the country despite an overall drop in violence in the past two years.

Fearing car bombs, authorities imposed vehicle bans in the towns of Tilkaif and Hamdaniyah. Both are predominantly Christian towns near the northern city of Mosul where an Iraqi soldier was killed Monday when a bomb attached to his private vehicle exploded, police said.

Daldar Zebari, deputy head of the Ninevah provincial council, which includes Mosul, said the Christian-dominated areas of Mosul were a priority for the security services. But he added: "We will make our best efforts to keep security for the province and all its citizens of all ethnic and religious backgrounds without exception."

Ethnic and sectarian tension also is running high in Kirkuk, another city in northern Iraq where Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, made an unannounced visit on Monday. Kurds want to make oil-rich Kirkuk the capital of their autonomous region in the north despite Arab opposition.

Violence is sharply down in the war that began with the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, but militants still carry out lethal attacks. The U.S. military completed a withdrawal of combat forces from Iraqi cities to outlying bases last month as part of a plan to let Iraq take the lead on ensuring its own security.

Iraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi told reporters in Baghdad that Iraq will not need help from multinational forces in securing an event at a holy Shiite shrine in northern Baghdad. Hundreds of thousands of Shiites are expected on Saturday in Kazimiyah, a predominantly Shiite suburb, to commemorate the death of a revered Shiite imam.

At the same commemoration in 2005, nearly 1,000 Shiite pilgrims, most of them women and children, died in a stampede during a religious procession on a bridge near the shrine. Thousands of the pilgrims, who panicked when they heard unfounded rumors of a suicide bomber, crushed one another or plunged 30 feet into the muddy Tigris River.

Al-Moussawi said the plan to secure the event is "100 percent an Iraqi one."

He lamented the church bombings, but blamed security at one church, saying that a man pretending that his car had broken down asked people at the church if he could park his vehicle near the church. "A few minutes after his departure, it went off," al-Moussawi said.

Also on Sunday, a bomb exploded near a convoy of American personnel that included U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill, though no one was injured. U.S. embassy spokesman Susan Ziadeh said Monday that an investigation was under way into the bombing, which occurred as the convoy was traveling through Dhi Qar province in southern Iraq.

Summer Diets

Summer Diets


It is during the summer season, mostly that people suffer from health problems. Excessive sweating, fatigue tiredness, drowsiness and headaches are now commonly seen during the summer months. These problems can be prevented if one can modify the diet regimens and lifestyle according to the changes in the climate. Constipation is a common problem that most people suffer from during the summer season. Urinary infection, jaundice, typhoid etc are also on the rise. The cause of constipation is the decrease in the moisture content in the body. Jaundice, typhoid etc spread fast during this season.

One must drink plenty of water during the summer months. Fluids like boiled and cooled water, lime juice and buttermilk are ideal. Water is essential for the purification of blood. Fibrous fruits and vegetables rich in fibre must be included in the diet. Mangoes and water melons are available in plenty during this season. Although soft drinks are good, their sugar content must be reduced. Food that are quickly digested are best for the summer. Food low in fat and oil must be consumed. Fruits like guavas, papaya, apples and vegetables like green leafy vegetables, beans, French beans and cucumber must be included in the diet.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This is because it is eaten after the stomach has remained empty throughout the night. Busy executives tend to skip breakfast because of their busy schedule. This can lead to stomach disorders. Dinner should always be light, and must be taken half an hour before bedtime. It is good to take a short walk after dinner.

Those who travel often must always carry boiled drinking water with them, this not only saves money but also keeps illnesses at bay. Do not mix hot and cold water to drink. Also avoid water that has just been heated a little. Use only boiled and cooled water for drinking purpose. Lime juice, which is rich in Vitamin C is a good preventive measure for many illnesses. Dieticians advise people to avoid non vegetarian food during the summer. Small fish like sardines etc. which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids help in lowering cholesterol levels.

Achuthanandan Degraded to CC

CPM removes VS from PB, backs Vijayan
-
New Delhi: Aiming to put an end to the squabbling in its Kerala unit, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) Sunday removed Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan from the party politburo while firmly backing his arch rival, state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan.

The CPI-M Central Committee, ending its two-day meeting on the Kerala issue here, stated that Vijayan "was not involved in any corrupt practice whatsoever" and also reiterated the party's resolve to fight the corruption case against him "politically and legally".

In an open admission of the rift in its Kerala unit, the Central Committee, the highest decision making body of the CPM, also said that the "Kerala State Committee should unify the entire party" in the state.

The Central Committee chided Achuthanandan for violating party discipline in his demand that Vijayan be tried over the SNC Lavalin corruption case. It said the party had "expected Comrade V.S. to fulfill his responsibilities as the chief minister and as a leader of the party".

The Central Committee statement said: "The Central Committee decided that in view of the violations of the organisational principle and discipline by Comrade V.S. Achuthanandan, he should be removed from the politburo. Comrade Achuthanandan is the senior most leader who has made a big contribution to the Party in Kerala. The Central Committee expected Comrade V.S. to fulfill his responsibilities as the chief minister and as a leader of the Party.

"The Central Committee examined the report submitted by the politburo on the SNC Lavalin contract for the renovation and modernisation of three hydroelectric projects in Kerala which were entered into by the UDF (United Democratic Front) government in 1995-96 and which were subsequently implemented by the LDF (Left Democratic Front) government. The Central Committee is of the view that Com. Pinarayi Vijayan, secretary of the Kerala State Committee and the electricity minister in the then LDF government between 1996-98 was not involved in any corrupt practice whatsoever. The Central Committee reiterated that the Party will fight the case politically and legally."

Achuthanandan had been demanding that Vijayan be removed as state secretary since he has been named an accused by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Rs.374 crore SNC Lavalin corruption case.

The Vijayan faction, in retaliation, demanded that disciplinary action be taken against Achuthanandan for "violating party discipline".

Twelve of the 85 members of the central committee are from Kerala.

The CPM central committee election review meeting held earlier had held the state leaders guilty for the party's rout in the Lok Sabha polls. The party had won just four of the 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala.

A Remarkable Bible Puzzle!

A Remarkable Bible Puzzle!
Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this paragraph? This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot…that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help: books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you complete. Remember, there are 25 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.
