NATO yesterday dismissed a United Nations request for a second Berlin airlift to help hundreds of thousands of earthquake survivors stranded for two weeks in the mountains of northern Pakistan.
Helicopters are the only means of getting supplies in large numbers into the Himalayan foothills of Pakistani Kashmir and North West Frontier province. Earlier this week, Jan Egeland, the UN's emergency relief co-ordinator, called on NATO to mount a massive airlift on the scale of the 1948-49 airlift to the beleaguered people of Soviet- blockaded West Berlin.
However, a NATO source said: "There is no question of the alliance doing that. That was Berlin after World War II and this is Pakistan now - there is absolutely no comparison.

Good luck on the working out. One thing that is important is that it has to be enjoyable. Yes you do need to push your self when you lift but if you enjoy yourself it will make going to the gym easier. You might want to think about taking self defense classes. There are also books and videos for self defense. I don't know what one is the best there are so many.
Good luck. In addition to Jim's healpfull suggestion it also helps to try and actualy have a good time working out. Having uncomfrotable shoes and 'the best of the Mormon Tabernacle Chior' on your iPod spells doom for the gym bunny.
Go for it. I've been trying to put on weight this last year, I've gone from 140 to 170 lbs in the last 6 months. The most important thing for me was to eat more. I could never put on weight no matter how often I worked out until I doubled the amount that I ate every day. You also have to eat consistently. It'll throw your body off missing meals.
Good luck :)
