Touch of Woodstock at Occupy Wall Street

NEW YORK?? Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York City went old school on Tuesday as activist musicians David Crosby and Graham Nash delivered a touch of Woodstock, plans for a march to Washington were unveiled and some participants practiced another kind of democracy ? voting.

Demonstrators have been making their voices heard in the nation's town squares for some time now, and the spirit of protest has remained paramount. At Zuccotti Park, Crosby and Nash, of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were the latest entertainers to lend their talents to the cause.

The white-haired duo led a chant of "No More War!" and played a 20-minute acoustic performance for about 1,000 protesters and onlookers who stood elbow-to-elbow and spilled out of the lower Manhattan park onto nearby streets.

There was an air of nostalgia ? and the smell of marijuana ? wafting over the crowd as the pair had fans humming along to hits like "Teach Your Children Well," from the 1971 'Deja Vu' album, and "Long Time Gone," from their first album.

Teenager Tyler Westcott wasn't around when Crosby and Nash made it big, but knew well the impact they made.

"These relics of Woodstock came and supported our movement," said the 19-year-old college student from Hunt, N.Y., his voice rising with excitement. "It's wild, how things line up.

"What you have here is the New Left from the Vietnam era ? and the new left here now."

Last month, folk music legend Pete Seeger and '60s folk singer Arlo Guthrie joined Occupy Wall Street demonstrators in their campaign against corporate greed. Recently, rappers Talib Kweli, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco visited protesters in the park. In California, hip hop heavyweights MC Hammer, Raymond "Boots" Riley of hip hop group The Coup, and local rapper Mistah FAB have stopped by encampments.

Road trip
Taking the Occupy protest on the road to the country's elected officials was also on the agenda Tuesday.

A small group of Occupy Wall Street activists will start a march Wednesday with the hope of arriving in Washington on Nov. 23, the deadline for a congressional committee to decide whether to keep President Barack Obama's extension of Bush-era tax cuts. Protesters say the cuts benefit only rich Americans.

Kelley Brannon is organizing the 240-mile march through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland with a core group of a dozen activists. They hope to pick up other marchers along the way ? even if for a day, or only an hour.

"Occupy the Highway" ? as it's been dubbed ? will start from the Manhattan park and continue with a ferry ride across the Hudson River to Elizabeth, N.J.

Brannon likened the effort to the long-distance marches led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., during the civil rights era.

"I mean, I'm not comparing us to Martin Luther King," said Brannon, of Queens, referring to three marches King led in 1965 from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery. Those marches ranged in size from 600 to 8,000 people.

"That's the premise Occupy is taking to the road: the historic relevance of such long-distance marches for social causes," Brannon said.

Casting ballots
But a day before beginning the march begins, some protesters recognized Tuesday as election day in the U.S, and cast their vote in some of the many local races and higher profile races being decided in several states.

Tom Hagan, a 61-year-old salesman from Queens and a Vietnam War veteran, flashed a big smile as he stood in the Zuccotti Park with a sign that read: "Election Day Sale. Buy One Politician. Get One Free."

Story: Military-style tents rise at NYC Occupy camp

Hagan, a registered Democrat, said he votes in every election, including Tuesday's. He also said he had come to the Occupy protest "because our democracy is for sale; we don't have a representative democracy anymore."

Shawn Cronick voted in Philadelphia's mayoral race before heading to the Occupy Philadelphia encampment.

"It's easy to be cynical and wonder if it can change a political climate dominated by money," he said. "That's not an excuse to check out of the process; it just means we have to do more than vote. We have to stand up for ourselves and against corporate interests."

Not all demonstrators felt their votes would mean anything. In Louisville, Pamela Newman stayed away from the voting booth, even as her daughter and fellow Occupy Louisville demonstrator, Pam Newman, voted.

The younger Newman said voting is a way to live the values they are trying to stand up for.

"We want to make serious changes," Pam Newman said. "We want people to be engaged. It's a good example for us to be involved."

Her mother, though, was skeptical.

"I didn't see anything to vote for," Pamela Newman said. "There's no candidate who said anything I wanted to vote for."

Half of teens shy, but for a few it's more serious

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Does your teen show normal nerves about the weekend party, or always stay home?

Nearly half of teenagers say they're shy, perhaps a bit surprising in our say-anything society. But a government study finds a small fraction of those teens show signs of a troubling anxiety disorder that can be mistaken for extreme shyness.

The report challenges criticism that the terms "social phobia" or "social anxiety disorder" medicalize normal shyness.

"Shyness is a normal human temperament," says lead researcher Dr. Kathleen Merikangas of the National Institute of Mental Health, whose teachers always noted her own childhood shyness on her report cards.

But just as it can be hard to tell when feeling sad turns into depression, "there is a blurred boundary between people who describe themselves as shy and clinically significant impairment," Merikangas adds.

The difference: The shy can be drawn out and adapt, while teens or adults with full-fledged social anxiety become so paralyzed during social situations that it interferes with everyday functioning.

"I didn't go out on dates or do any of the things that other kids did," recalls Cynthia Kipp of Tehachapi, Calif., who shared her story of years struggling with social phobia with the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. Now 48, she thinks her first anxiety symptoms began in fourth grade, when she can remember hiding under her coat in class, but worsened in high school when she tried drugs and alcohol for relief. Eventually she found treatment that worked.

The report also opens a window into the broader field of temperament research. Even garden-variety shyness worries parents, particularly fathers of boys, says Dr. Nancy Snidman of Children's Hospital Boston.

In school-age boys especially, "shyness isn't very well tolerated in the United States," says Snidman who wasn't involved with the new research.

Snidman and colleagues at Harvard Medical School have tracked infants to their college years, and know that babies who react very negatively to new people and objects tend to grow into shy children. That's not a bad thing ? caution is considered an important evolutionary adaptation.

Usually, the clinging tot does just fine as he or she grows older and finds a niche, Snidman says. Girls may think the shy teen boy is nice because he's not macho, for example, or the shy kids wind up on the school newspaper so they can write instead of do public speaking. Many outgrow their shyness.

Yet a very shy child is considered more at risk than others of later developing some type of anxiety disorder ? just as the opposite extreme, a very outgoing child, can be at greater risk for attention or conduct disorders, she says.

The new study, published by the journal Pediatrics, is based on in-person surveys of more than 10,000 U.S. teens about a variety of mental health issues. More than 6,000 of their parents were surveyed, too.

About 47 percent of the teens identified themselves as shy around peers they don't know well. More than 62 percent of parents thought their teens were shy, perhaps a reflection of parental worry.

Then Merikangas' team analyzed how many teens appeared to meet the American Psychiatric Association's criteria for social anxiety disorder or social phobia. Roughly 1 in 10 of the self-described shy kids did.

Social phobia tends to appear during adolescence when kids take their first real steps toward independence, but there's little information about how often. The National Institutes of Health estimates it affects about 15 million adults.

The surveyed teens weren't formally diagnosed; Boston's Snidman cautions that what a specialist observes can be quite different from what a teen recalls.

Still, those identified as potentially socially phobic were more likely to have another mental health problem, such as depression or substance abuse. But they were no more likely than the other teens to be taking psychiatric medications.

There are anxiety-treating medications but the main treatment is behavioral therapy, exposing people very gradually to fear-inducing situations and teaching them coping techniques

What's a worried parent to watch for? This isn't standard stage fright, where you get sweaty palms before a speech but each one you do becomes easier. People with social anxiety disorder experience a more out-of-proportion fear that can make them shake, their hearts pound, or even cause a panic attack during a range of social situations. They start avoiding those scenarios.

The question is whether an anxious or shy teen is doing things typical of that age ? participating in class, getting together with friends, going to group activities, says Dr. Chris Mauro, a Duke University psychologist. Try to get them into a group, whether it's sports or music or Scouts, because belonging is protective, he says.

The NIH's Merikangas recommends keeping an eye on social media, too. Sure it encourages electronic communication, but it may further isolate those already on that path, she says.

Teachers may notice a problem first, and shouldn't single out kids who won't participate in class but encourage them through group activities, she advises.

Richard Gere guitar collection fetches $1M in NYC (AP)

NEW YORK ? A collection of American vintage guitars owned by actor Richard Gere has fetched nearly $1 million at auction in New York City.

Tuesday's sale of 110 guitars and amplifiers at Christie's auction house included brands such as C.F. Martin, Gibson, Fender and Gretsch and guitars once owned by blues guitarist Albert King and reggae musician Peter Tosh.

The top sale went to a 1960 solid-body Les Paul electric guitar by Gibson, which sold for more than $98,000.

Gere says he's parting with the instruments to support global humanitarian causes. Christie's says the "Pretty Woman" star studied trumpet and is a self-taught pianist and guitarist.

Gere says he never planned to assemble a guitar collection and bought only ones that he liked and that sounded good to him.

The collection was expected to sell for about $1 million.

How to Use a Telescope | Oval Egg Articles

Let's witness what Abraham has to report concerning How to Use a Telescope. It's only at the moment that people are beginning to know regarding Astronomy, talking about it on much larger level. Earlier this matter was not that talked about. Generally since individuals associated with the subject matter did not do enough. It is exceedingly recommended that you take your time reading through this composition instead of speed reading it, which might lead to various missed points.

The author Abraham David is responsible for producing this write-up If you feel like to take this piece of writing please link back to this page. Article on "How to Use a Telescope" starts after this.

Article Starts from Here:

If you are new to astronomy and are clueless as to how to use your telescope, rest assured, you are not alone. However, it?s really not that difficult learning how to use a telescope. It just takes a few adjustments and knowing what equipment your telescope has. You must be familiar with the pieces of the telescope and how each of them work. The rest is easy.
The first thing you will need to know in learning how to use a telescope is does your telescope have a polar axis or not. A polar axis is intended to track. A telescope without a polar axis is merely a point and look, or what is called Alt-Az. Alt means altitude and Az means azimuth, where Alt is the distance above the horizon, and Az is the direction in a circle around the horizon. If you have an Alt-Az mount, just skip the polar alignment step.
If you have a polar axis meaning that your telescope is intended to track the stars, then find north, and make sure the polar axis is approximately lined up in that direction. It does not have to be too accurate, but make sure it is pointing pretty close to north. If you are not sure where north is, either use a magnetic compass, or try to find Polaris, the North Star.?
Now you are ready to align the finder scope.?You will have to find a way to align your finder scope so that it is in line and points to the same thing you see in the eyepiece. Then you can use it to find objects of interest. This probably is the hardest part when learning how to use a telescope.
The best way to do this is to find the lowest power eyepiece you have, and use it to find a bright planet like Jupiter, or even the moon. Once you get Jupiter centered in the eyepiece of your telescope, and if your telescope tracks, lock down the drive to follow the planet so it will stay centered in the eyepiece. If your telescope does not track, then just re-center the planet in the eyepiece from time to time.
Now, look at the finder scope. It should have somewhere on the mount at least one set of three thumb screws holding the finder scope in place. Gently loosen the screws on the finder scope and look through its eyepiece. You should see a cross hair or ?X?. Align the planet on the cross hair by alternately adjusting the screws until it stays centered. When it is, try to tighten the screws so it holds the finder scope securely. Now your finder scope is aligned with the telescope eyepiece, and you should be able to use it to find other objects of interest.
Now you?re all ready. Learning how to use a telescope involves more trial and error than anything. Fool around with the eyepiece and adjuster a little bit and you will be well on your way to star gazing with ease!

Warning: Whatever thing inside this composition is personal opinion of its writer on "How to Use a Telescope", you have to carry out your own research to come up with accurate facts. You should consult a specialist of this field. OvalEgg.com is not responsible for any damages of any kind that may arise from applying information contained in this article.
