Internship opportunity
Here’s something that came through my email that looks like a great opportunity for students proficient in web design, marketing, Internet research, legal research, editing, writing, grant writing, paralegal, communications and public relations, fundraising, and coalition building.
The Natah Education and Legal Defense Fund is currently seeking interns for the Spring 2008 semester. The fund represents Iraq war victims in various lawsuits. Natah v. Bush, our key case, is the only case to ever ask the President to pay damages to victims of war crimes. Other cases deal with civil rights abuses by U.S. contractors working in Iraq.
Legal action is currently one of the best hopes for remedying U.S. policy regarding Iraq and Iran. Senate filibuster delays legislative changes, and President Bush is likely to veto any limits on the Iraq war. Middle East peace is too important to wait for a new President, and legal action is currently the fastest route to get policy changes and prevent a war with Iran.
More information can be found at. We offer very substantive meaningful assignments tailored to each student's educational and vocational goals.

I can dance!
I had a great time last night at the Fair Trade Festival benefit. The music, friends, acquaintances and others made it special. Even Travis, our server, did an excellent job of keeping us well supplied with food and drink.
For the past 20 years, I have suffered from a malady the doctor’s call irritable bowel syndrome. Even though they have performed two colonoscopies and a barium enema with air contrast, they don’t know how to help me. So I have been helping myself through keeping a food journal, fasting whenever I have diarrhea, and trusting doctors to help. But the best help came from a book written by James F. and Phyllis A. Balch – Prescription for Nutritional Healing.
Through their guidance and my charts and records, I have discovered that taking one acidophilus tablet every time I eat prevents the diarrhea. My suspicion is that the antibiotics I took as a child suffering from chronic ear infections cleaned out my digestive system of all the good bacteria, and that my best choice is to replace these bacteria every time I eat with the acidophilus.
Last night at the benefit, when Milo MacTavish got up to dance the jig in his kilt, I joined him and danced with no hazardous-waste spillage. What a liberating feeling. I can dance!

We have all the technology. Now learn to communicate.
We can text message, call from anywhere, anytime, email, blog, post messages; but can we communicate?
“I can’t hear you. I’m going through the tunnel. I’ll call you back in a few minutes. Send me a text message. No, never mind. It still won’t go through until I get out of the tunnel.”
“Okay. I’m back. What were you going to tell me?”
“Oh, never mind. It wasn’t important.
“Come on. I want to know. Tell me. If it wasn’t important, you wouldn’t have called. Well maybe, you would. You call me all the time and it’s not important. You just want to talk. Is that what you wanted? To talk?”
“I said, ‘Never mind.’ I don’t want to just talk. I did have something important, but the moment is gone. Forever lost. I was going to tell you about how I’m sitting on the beach watching the sun rise and wished you were here with me. That’s all.”
Oh. Sorry. I wish I was with you too. But I have to go to work. That’s life, I guess. Never the right time or place. Even with all our technology, a stupid tunnel cut us off and then I thought it wasn’t important. Will we ever learn to communicate?”
