In the early months of 1998 a single individual challenged Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about the Clinton administration's saber rattling with Iraq at a CNN televised "town hall meeting."

Here in New Hampshire, where town-meeting local government, Yankee ingenuity and frugality are part of our heritage, finding local solutions to larger societal problems may be in our genes. A question worth asking in these difficult economic times is how can we tap these age-old community values to address new problems such as the ever-increasing cost of energy, the reliance on distant and anonymous suppliers to meet our local needs, and our ability to help one another through times of stress an …
We know it's not easy being a single parent. How do you face the challenge of bringing up your children alone? Or how do you learn to live apart from them? How do you get the information you need to solve parenting, financial, and legal problems? How do you rebuild a life that has seemingly come apart? And how do you do all of this alone? Learning to adjust to single parenting takes time and effort. For some of us this can be a period of crisis; for others, a turning point in life. We are here t …

Because I haven't been able to find a local meet group for young adults with biplar, I decided to create this group. My daughter is 22 and said that it's difficult to discuss her biplar issues with people who don't have biplar, since they just don't understand. The purpose of this group is to get local young adults to be able to get together on a regular basis to discuss. Any young adult with biplar who would like to have a place to come to meet and discuss would be welcome to come. I am plannin …

Welcome to Maha's Meetups! My name is Maha. I have quite a few interests and several passions which I enjoy sharing with others. Rather than creating a Meetup group for each one I figured I'd simply put them all in one place! (It's also cheaper!) The meetups here reflect my personal interests and so a suggestion to have a Boston Red Sox party is simply not going to happen! :) Current Maha Meetups: Maha Kirtan Gita Yoga Pickup Soccer Movie Night Detailed Descriptions: 1) Maha Kirtan Maha Kirt …

We are the older generation of nerds and geeks. In the Boston area we fueled the Massachusetts Miracle on 128, and we're aging out. Some of us have put on thirty-five or forty years of Boskones -- the annual family reunion.
