The Broadened UN Approach to International Security
Wednesday- February 1, 2012- 3:30-5:30PM
At Home on the Sound member James Sutterlin will discuss the significantly broadened security mandate of the United Nations. The mandate given to the UN for the maintenance of peace and international security was long interpreted as meaning the security of states. This mandate has in recent years been significantly broadened to cover the security of peoples as well as states. The UN objective now most frequently cited is human security. The UN has endorsed and selectively implemented the policy of "responsibility to protect.". This means that military intervention is justified to protect people from grave violations of their human rights if their government is unable or unwilling to do so, as was the case in Libya. The International Criminal Court is now prosecuting persons accused of committing crimes against humanity without, in some cases, the approval of the government concerned. These actions raise profound questions on the sanctity of national sovereignty and the priority of peace versus justice.
Jim spent 23 years in the US Foreign Service with posts in Germany, Japan, Israel and Washington. After serving as Inspector General of the Foreign Service, he moved to the UN Secretariat where he became senior aide and speech writer for Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar. On retirement from the UN, he was appointed Distinguished Fellow in UN Studies at Yale and taught there until 2008.

Climate Change: An Inconvenient Truth
Wednesday- February 15, 2012- 3:30-5:30
In 2006 former U.S. Vice President Al Gore founded The Climate Project, an organization dedicated to calling attention to what it believes are global problems associated with climate change. For starters, he committed to training 1,000 people in the United States to learn to be presenters of his slide show that had become the basis for the documentary film, "An Inconvenient Truth". The presentation has evolved over the past few years; we've all seen a lot of information and discussion about climate change in the media. This program includes a basic review of changes that have occurred around the world and why scientists have reached certain conclusions, as well as discussion about what challenges we may be facing and what we can do about it.
Lynne Crowley, a Larchmont resident for 25 years, was inspired to apply to The Climate Project and was among those chosen to be trained in 2007 to be a presenter of ther slide show. She has presented the program to about 2 dozen groups ranging from college environmental clubs to religious organizations, a GED class, a neighborhood association, elementary and high school classes and senior groups.

Worrying
Wednesday- March 7, 2011- 3:30-5:30
We will explore the ways in which worrying can be either helpful or harmful, and the evolutionary forces that have made worrying something we all do. Our goal is to learn to tell the difference between worrying that helps and worrying that cycles with no positive outcome. Finally, we will discuss steps we can take to combat fears and anxiety.

Dr. Steven Guggenheim is a clinical psychologist licensed in the State of New York and a practicing psychotherapist in Larchmont since 1993, working with individual adults, ages 19 and up, as well as with couples. For the past 15 years Dr. Guggenheim has been the volunteer leader of the Caregivers' Support Group at Sound Shore Medical Center in New Rochelle.
