The women's qualification concludes in in a big way as the host nation takes the floor in Subdivision 12.
The team features two-time Olympian Suzanne Harmes, another gymnast who has shown that high-level competition is possible after becoming a mother.
The session also features Uzbekistan, whose program has stayed alive thanks to the continual efforts of several people, especially coach Svetlana Kuznetsova. Former Uzbek team member Oksana Chusovitina — who coaches Uzbek gymnasts in addition to her own training — will no doubt stay around to watch this sesson after competing in the previous subdivision for Germany.
Uzbekistan: Vault
Uzbekistan starts on vault, which has produced its best results historically from 2003 world champion Chusovitina. The Central Asian country doesn't have gymnasts of Chusovitina's quality currently, but 2008 Olympian Luisa Galiulina has produced excellent results. She's capable of a score in the high 14s on balance beam, which would put her into the final in Rotterdam.
The Netherlands: Uneven Bars
The home team begins on uneven bars, which along with beam is one of its strongest events. The Netherlands finished seventh at the 2010 European Championships, but have lost two gymnasts to injury: Mayra Kroonen and Wyomi Masela.
Sanne Wevers, the only gymnast who does a double turn with her leg up on beam, would no doubt love a spot in the finals.
The Dutch were 17th at the 2007 Worlds, and are trying to get back into the form that put them in the team final in 2001.
Taipei: Balance Beam
Taiwan, officially known as Chinese Taipei, sent two female gymnasts to Rotterdam. The tiny island nation has had some success with its male gymnasts, and have fielded a full men's team this year. Its female entrants are two first-year seniors, and will be looking for a strong showing ahead of the Asian Games.
Next Up: : Competition continues Monday morning with the men's qualification. Teams from Egypt, France, Korea and New Zealand take the.

The Malta Business Bureau's EU LIFE+ Investing in Water Project aims to help businesses and hotels reduce their water consumption. The project is doing this by providing expert advice to enterprises over the course of 2012 and 2013, on water saving opportunities present in their operations and how best to achieve them.The project, in early 2012, concluded a set of Water Audits with around. 40 enterprises from various sectors. This set of audits has highlighted water saving opportunities and potential solutions applicable in many scenarios, which should meet the circumstances of local enterprises. They are currently being developed and will be published in a single complete reference document by October 2012. This Water Saving Solutions document will be distributed to businesses and hotels across Malta and Gozo, and made freely available through this website.The project will also offer enterprises individual consultation on identifying the solutions most relevant to their circumstances and on how to implement them. The project is also organising a national Water Conference on the 22nd of June 2012 – mark that date in your calendars.By saving water enterprises are reducing their operating costs – important in any commercial enterprise. Enterprises would also be taking concrete action to reduce pressure on a very scarce national resource, benefitting the environment. Commercial interests and environmental protection coming together in such a complimentary manner is true best practice, a win-win situation for all.

Most inspectors merely observe the mould growth. We take the extra step and find the source of the problem. More than being simply unsightly, mould growth is an indication of damp conditions in the home. Even after treatment of the mould itself, if the underlying problem is not corrected the mould will likely return.

Business in the body parts of persons with albinism (PWA) is increasingly becoming a cross border trade.
The founder and CEO of Under The Same Sun (UTSS), Peter Ash, told a press conference here yesterday that he has reasons to believe that an unidentified three-year old boy with albinism transported on a flight bound for Burkina Faso without any travel documents was a case of human trafficking.
He alleged that three men travelling with the boy were of African origin with French accent and were on transit from Tanzania heading to Ouagadougou.
“We have evidence and proof that there is a cross border trade where a PWA may be killed in one country and body parts sold in another, or may be abducted in one country and transported to another for one to be killed and so on,” Ash stresses.
He went on to say that the child was with three men who looked suspicious and were flying to Burkina Faso via Nairobi, Kenya. The child was said to be travelling with them on the flight to the West African country.
When asked by reporters how he got the information of the alleged kidnapped boy reached him, Ash said that UTSS office had received an email from one Dr Pius Kamau who witnessed the incident in Kenya. Dr Kamau is a Kenyan-American national who was at the airport on 18th April 2012 when the alleged incident took place. The reporter of this article has obtained the following extract from the email sent to Ash.
“I write to tell you about my recent experience at the Nairobi airport which has left me devastated, confused and uncertain about what to do with the hope that you perhaps can look into this and if possible save a life.
I saw a three year old African albino in the company of three really disagreeable men who were arguing with the airline attendant about the child's lack of a passport on April 18th at about noon. They had come from Tanzania and were headed to Ouagadougou, in Burkina Faso. Eventually they were allowed to fly off with the child. Even though I wondered about the whole scene I did nothing and not sure I could have done anything. However, since last week I have been unable to think of much else other than the fate of the little albino boy, a likely sacrifice in witchcraft. I had heard of it before but seeing that child's innocent face and the three men's almost palpable sense of evil has brought it into focus for me. This is sadly on going in certain parts of Africa and is something I feel must be rooted out if we are to save albino children like the one I saw from unnecessary cruelty and inhumanity. I am not sure if there is anything you can do from that end and if you think I can help find this boy.
I am unable to forget this poor child's face. I was in Africa to continue to build a network of women scientists to come to the US for their PhD training and was on my way to Makerere College when I witnessed the incident I recount above. Many thanks. Dr. Pius Kamau”.
Ash said UTSS Headquarters in Canada has documentation of the killings from West Africa, South Africa and East Africa and that atrocities, discrimination and stigma against PWA is not a Tanzanian issue, but an African problem. “The killings of PWA, grave robberies and physical attacks that have been occurring in Tanzania have also been taking place in other countries of Africa and the world at large.”
Two weeks ago, the UTSS CEO contacted the airline concerned, Canadian High Commission in Kenya, The UN and several other agencies with the information in the hope of tracing the child with albinism. Hitherto, there has not been a single word from airline.
He wondered how a child of that age can travel without a passport, without a mother or without proper identification through an airport. “All the governments can point fingers at each other and everyone can try washing their hands that it is not their problem.
But who cares for the child, for his well being? Is he still alive? Is he dead? Have his body parts already been sold or is he being kept captive somewhere? What if that was your son?” Ash asks.
“I am a Canadian, as soon as I heard this information I couldn’t sleep, I kept emailing and phoning all night to find the whereabouts of the child. There is a tremendous lack of concern,” Ash told the press.
He called on the East African media to hold accountable the airline who he said have a CCTV footage at the airport, passenger manifest and flight attendants which could help in tracing the child.
Ash says he is sure there is a cross border activity and urged the Tanzanian Police, Interpol and Kenyan Police to work together on the issue.

Celebrated vocalist Kasaloo Kyanga, who featured for several bands in Tanzania, died in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The sad news began circulating across the city and beyond early yesterday morning as veteran musician Kikumbi Mwanza Mpango Mwema or popularly known as King Kiki confirmed of tragic death.
Kyanga, whose twin brother Kyanga Songa died about five years ago, dominated the music scenes in Tanzania and across the borders for more than a decade since 1980.
Kiki said Kasaloo died at Mwananyamala Hospital and his funeral arrangement is still in the process.
"I just have received telephone messages from close friends of Kasaloo, John Kitime, Abdul Salvador 'Father Kidevu' and others from his family confirming of his death," said Kiki.
Kitime and Salvador used to perform together with the late Kasaloo at the Iringa-based Tancut Almasi Orchestra music band in the 80s.
Kasaloo and his late brother Kyanga took a centre stage during the Tancut band’s performance when fans were treated with the famous 'Fimbo Lugoda' and 'Kinyekinye kisonzo tisa kumi Mangala' styles.
Kasaloo, who used to have first class metallic voice, arrived from the Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire) in 1980 and Orchestra Matimila Band under the late Remmy Ongala was his first band to work with.
He took the music world by storm for his famous compositions entitled 'Almasi', 'Bishada', 'Natoa Onyo', 'Usia' and many others.
Kasaloo had combined well with another Congolese musician Skassy Kasambula to send fans wild everywhere they staged a show.
Kasaloo, Kasambula and the late Semhando crossed over to Tomatoma as Kasaloo composed master hit, 'Mwanaidi'.
He was later absorbed by Orchestra Marquis Original where he joined his brother Songa in one of the most effective vocal combinations.
Kasaloo and Songa had their prominence and popularity hit the roof of music world as they came out with remarkable compositions such as 'Karubandika', 'Sofia', 'Clara', 'Hasira Hasara', 'Ni Wewe Pekee' and many others that won them accolades from the music fraternity across the world.
As it has been the case of musicians all over the world, the vocalist duo parted ways with Marquis to open their base in Iringa with the Tancut Almasi band.
'Masafa Marefu', 'Pili Wangu', 'Tutasele', 'Kiwele' and 'Jane Butinini' (wife of Kasaloo) were some of the hits that raised their status even further in the music world.
Butinini used to be a netball star who happened to be the sister of former Railways Football team from Morogoro,Duncan Butinini.
The sports desk of The Guardian has been deeply shocked by the passage of the musician and wishes his soul to rest in eternal peace.

Rockingham Speedway
Call it Rockingham Speedway, North Carolina Motor Speedway or just “The Rock,” Rockingham is among stock car racing’s most historic race tracks. Opened in October, 1965, Rockingham hosted two NASCAR Grand National (now Sprint Cup) races annually until 2004 when it was dropped from the schedule of NASCAR’s premier series. During those four decades, a virtual Who’s Who of stock car racing visited Victory Lane at Rockingham, beginning with Curtis Turner, winner of 1965′s inaugural American 500 and going on to include Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Bill Elliott, Dale Earnhardt, Dale Jarrett, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin, with Matt Kenseth taking the final win in 2004.
Opened as a flat, one mile oval, Rockingham underwent a major overhaul in 1969 when it was reconfigured to a D-shaped, high banked track measuring just over a mile, with an infield road course added for good measure. The track surface has proven to be particularly abrasive, adding tire conservation to the track’s already daunting challenges. In recent years, Rockingham has played host to NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series and K&N Pro Series East, the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards, the Whelen Southern Modified Tour and the UARA Stars Late Model Series.

EḴTĪĀRĀT (choices, elections), a term used in Islamic divination and astrology in at least four principle meanings:
1. It refers to hemerologies in which each of the thirty days of a month, either synodic or conventional (e.g., the Persian hemerology), is characterized as being good (saʿd) or bad (naḥs) for undertaking specified activities. 2. The goodness or badness of the time for activities depends on the lunar station (manzel al-qamar) occupied by the moon. 3. The goodness or badness of the time for activities depends on the zodiacal sign occupied by the moon. 4. The type of astrology usually denominated catarchic (ḥokm al-nojūm) is often associated with the word eḵtīārāt; in Islamic astrology, following a Sasanian precedent, this is confounded with interrogations (masāʾel).
1. The earliest hemerologies are those of Mesopotamia, in which each day of each month is usually given a religious significance as well as a number of activities to be undertaken or avoided (Labat, 1939). There also exists a far simpler form in which each day in each month is either favorable or unfavorable, or is associated with a single activity (Labat, 1943; for further Mesopotamian sources see Reiner, pp. 111-12). A Persian hemerology that may be related to this Mesopotamian tradition is found in the Andarz ī Ādurbād īMahraspandān (secs. 119-48, I, pp. 58-71, tr. in Zaehner, pp. 101-10). In this text the thirty days of a Persian month are identified by their associated deities, and one or two activities are advised to be engaged in or avoided on each. Perhaps related to a Persian tradition, though not to the Andarz of Ādurbād, is the Mandaean hemerology in chapter 8 of The Book of the Zodiac (Drower, pp. 88-92). This is a combination of three sources, excerpted for each of the thirty days of a month, and listing activities to be undertaken or avoided and prognostications for one who becomes ill and for one who is born on that day. Close to this is a Greek text published in Catalogus Codicum Astrologorum Graecorum (XI/1, pp. 134-44; this text cites Melampus, for whom see the lunarium conflated from Melampus and another “Egyptian” book in VIII/4, pp. 105-07).
Reflecting to some extent the contents of the Andarz of Ādurbād is an Arabic bookattributed to Imam Jaʿfar al-Ṣādeq (see Sezgin, GAS VII, pp. 323-24, 373). It is also very close in content to the chapter of the Mandaean Book of the Zodiac referred to above; but in addition contains parts of the associations of the thirty days of the month with stories from the Old Testament found in many similar Byzantine hemerologies (Catalogus III, pp. 32-39, X, pp. 121-26, ascribed to David and Solomon, 196-200, 243-47, XI/2, pp. 157-62). The Mandaean and the Byzantine hemerologies along with Jaʿfar al-Ṣādeq’s Ketāb all share a common source.
Also attributed to Jaʿfar al-Ṣādeq are the short hemerologies which, like the second Mesopotamian text (Labat, 1943), do little more than indicate that the day is favorable or unfavorable (see, e.g., Ruska,II, pp. 35-36; for similar works in Syriac and Greek, see Budge, II, pp. 557-59; CCAG 8/4, pp. 102-04). Ebied and Young (p. 296, n. 3) mention a long hemerology in Arabic attributed to Daniel, Salmān the Persian, and Jaʿfar al-Ṣādeq, which, they say, has a number of features reflecting Zoroastrian concepts. They state that they are preparing an edition; it seems not yet to have appeared.
2. The second type of elections originated in India, where it is the basic form of their science of catarchic astrology (muhūrtaśāstra); there the operative variable is the nakṣatra in which the moon is located (Pingree, Jyotiḥśāstra,chap. 6, pp. 101-09). In Sasanian Persia there seems to have been an adaptation of this methodology in which the nakṣatras were given Persian names (for these names, see Henning, esp. pp. 242-46). Later, they were identified with the Arabic manāzel al-qamar; and there exists in the Ketāb al-bāreʿfī aḥkām al-nojūm of ʿAlī b. Abi’l-Rejāl (Sezgin, GAS VII, pp. 186-87), a chapter (21 of book 7) in which for each manzel (station) occupied by the moon are given the elections according to the Indians, to Dorotheus (in part concocted from the fifth book of his work), and to the Persians, as well as the fates of male and female natives and a description of the manzel’s image for use in astral magic; there is a Byzantine translation of this astrological text (Catalogus IX/1, pp. 141-56). Such a text also appears in the Ḡāyat at al-ḥakīm ascribed to Abū Maslama Majrīṭī (ed. H. Ritter, Leipzig, 1933, bk. 1, chap. 4, pp. 14-26; Byzantine texts are found in Catalogus V/3, pp. 90-93, VIII/1, pp. 218-19).
3. The judgement that it is or it is not propitious to begin a specified activity when the moon is in a designated zodiacal sign occurs first in Akkadian texts of the Seleucid period (Reiner, pp.108-11). The principal Greek source of such teachings was the astrological poem of Dorotheus of Sidon (bk. 5 passim), which had been translated into Pahlavi in the third century, and from that language was translated into Arabic by ʿOmar b. Farroḵān Ṭabarī (Dorothei Sidonii Carmen Astrologicum, ed. D. Pingree, Leipzig, 1976) and, at least in part, by Māšāʾ-Allāh (D. Pingree, “Māshāʾallāh”). Other elements of this form of elections are found in the Apotelesmatica of Hephaestio of Thebes (ed. D. Pingree, Leipzig, 1973, bk. 3, chap. 5, pp. 240-51; cf. also Catalogus V/3, pp. 94-96). Hephaestio was read by Theophilus (Ṯawfīl b. Ṯūmā) of Edessa, and introduced by him to Māšāʾ-Allāh (both were at the ʿAbbasid court during the last half of the 8th century). From these Greek sources—Dorotheus and Hephaestio—, as filtered through Māšāʾ-Allāh, elections based on the zodiacal sign occupied by the moon became an integral part of astrology as practiced in the Islamic world. Thus, for example, Naṣīr-al-Dīn Ṭūsī came to write in Persian an Eḵtīārāt masīr al-qamar, otherwise known as the Eḵtīārāt-e qamar fī borūj-e eṯnay ʿašar (Storey, II, pp. 54-55).
4.ñāna), in which the judgment concerning an activity was based on the horoscope of the moment at which the question was posed to the astrologer. Both Indian muhūrtaśāstra and praśnajñāna were transmitted to Persia during the Sasanian era, and there blended with the Pahlavi translations of Dorotheus and Vettius Valens into an ambiguous science of elections, which was partly catarchic, partly interrogational. To the subject normally addressed by the Greek astrologers, the Indians added military astrology, by which kings and generals may be advised. To the subjects addressed by both Greek and Indian astrologers, the Persians added political astrology, by which both the governors and their potential or actual rivals may be advised (this dangerous aspect of astrology had long been banned in the Roman empire; see Cramer).
The Pahlavi books on elections are now all lost, but we know of them through the Greek works of Theophilus of Edessa, the Arabic translations of Dorotheus and Valens (Wālīs), the writings attributed to Zoroaster and to Bozorgmehr (q.v.), and the Arabic works of a number of astrologers of Persian background who wrote in the late eighth and ninth centuries, notably Māšāʾ-Allāh, ʿOmar b. Farroḵān Ṭabarī, and Sahl b. Bešr (Ketāb al-eḵtīārāt ʿala’l-boyūt al-eṯnay ʿašar). Based on this early Arabic tradition are several treatises written in Persian. None of them has yet been published or studied, so that little more can be done here than to name them. The earliest is a Ketāb-e eḵtīārāt composed at the order of Sultan Sanjar Saljūqī (r. 511-52/1117-57; Storey, II, p. 46). In the first decade of the thirteenth century Faḵr-al-Dīn Moḥammad b. ʿOmar Rāzī (d. 606/1209) composed a Ketāb al-eḵtīārāt al-ʿalāʾīya fi’l-eḵtīārātal-samāʾīya for Sultan ʿAlāʾ-al-Dīn Moḥammad Ḵᵛārazmšāh (r. 596-617/1200-20). Rāzī himself later translated this into Arabic (Storey, II, p. 49). And on either 20 Rajab 663/8 May 1265 or 9 Jomādā I 670/13 December 1271 Naṣīr-al-Dīn Ṭūsī completed, at Marāḡa, a Persian translation of and commentary on the Ketāb al-ṯamara of pseudo-Ptolemy; he had undertaken this work at the request of Bahāʾ-al-Dīn Moḥammad Joveynī (Storey, II, pp. 36-37).

The tax deduction scheme for Qualifying Grantmaking Philanthropic Organisations ("Grantmakers") was introduced in Budget 2007. This scheme is to allow double tax deduction (from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2015, donations made under this scheme will be allowed 2.5 times tax deduction) to the donors who donate to the Grantmakers, where the donations are eventually channeled to an approved Institution of a Public Character (IPC). This is applicable even where the Grantmaker itself is not an IPC.
To be a grantmaker, your organization has to be of the following set up:
1) registered charities (registered under the Charities Act); or
2) not-for-profit organizations (approved under the NPO tax incentive scheme administered by EDB or MAS).
If you wish to register for this scheme, you have to submit a letter of undertaking to IRAS to be registered as a Grantmaker under the tax deduction scheme and adhere to a set of conditions. Grantmakers will be allowed to grant tax deduction at the point of donation by the donor from the date of successful registration.
The tax deduction scheme takes effect for donations of money on or after 15 Feb 2007 (i.e. Budget 2007).
Conditions to be met by qualifying grantmaking philanthropic organisations
a. The grantmaking organisation must be either a registered charity under the Charities Act or a grantmaker approved under the NPO tax incentive scheme administered by MAS or EDB;
b. The grantmaking organization must channel the donation that is intended for the IPC to a segregated account/fund (hereafter “designated IPC fund”) that is designated for donations to IPCs only;
c. The grantmaking organisation will be responsible for issuing the tax-deductible receipt to the donor, and it must distribute the donations to IPCs within 5 years of receipt of the donations from the donors;
d. The grantmaking organization will be liable to pay to the IRAS a financial penalty of the amount ascertained by the formula 0.4x the total value of the donations for:
i. Any amount of tax deduction that has been incorrectly granted or that is not properly due to a donor; and
ii. Any amount of tax deduction granted on donations that are not disbursed within the 5-year timeframe.
e. Upon dissolution of the designated IPC fund, the grantmaking organization must distribute any residual funds/assets (if any) to IPCs;
f. The grantmaking organization must institute proper procedures to ensure that the donations are in fact channeled to IPCs;
g. The grantmaking organization must keep proper records such as the identity of each donor, date of donation, amount of donation received from each donor and the amount of tax deduction receipts that was issued to each donor. These records must be kept for at least 7 years;
h. The grantmaking organization must submit details of cash donation received and disbursed in the format prescribed by IRAS on an annual basis; and
i. The grantmaking organization must subject the designated IPC fund to an annual external audit, and submit the annual audited accounts to IRAS.

Addition/Always accept messages for special aliases
From iRedMail
Mission
(Almost) always receive e-mail messages for postmaster@*, abuse@*, hostmaster@*, webmaster@*.
Reason
You should always allow to be contacted on the four special aliases listed above. For example, in certain circumstances another postmaster from an external domain would like to contact you about messages coming from his server and considered spam by your local server and not delivered because of a misconfiguration.
Step-by-step configuration
- Requirements:
- A properly working iRedMail system;
- Note:
- This article was written with a CentOS-based system in mind. Adapt it for your system.
- Step 1.
Create the lookup table /etc/postfix/accept_special with the following contents (a regular text file):
- Step 2.
Compile the above file using postmap, type hash:
- Step 3.
Check that the file /etc/postfix/accept_special.db exists.
- Step 4.
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add the accept_special.db lookup table to smtpd_recipient_restrictions, to a place in the rule chain you see fit for your server:
- Note:
- The place where you add it is quite important. For example, I choosed not to add it further above, so I can cut down on the amount of spam I receive on the special aliases. You might want to add it further above or below in the rule chain.
- For usual iRedMail configuration that's the recommended place to add it.
- Step 5.
Restart postfix service and make sure everything is working ok by tail-ing the logs.

This partnership between Asheesh Dewan, owner of the outstanding.
Ananda's executive chef is Sunil Ghai, who has been working in the Jaipur restaurants for eight years, and is known for an impressive understanding of Indian cooking and remarkable finesse with spicing; prior to Ananda’s opening, Sunil spent several months working in Benares, and, together with Atul, has developed a highly innovative and contemporary menu.
Don’t come to Ananda expecting standard samosas and chicken tikka – instead be prepared for culinary treats that challenge the broadest perceptions of Indian cooking. A vegetable korma might feature fragrant apricots and sage, seared scallops might come spice-crusted on polenta and coconut, lamb shanks might be slow cooked in Kashmiri chilli and pine extract.
A great way to sample four dishes in one is to order Ananda’s thaali, available as a vegetarian choice or with meat and seafood. This selection of four complimentary dishes, served with rice and excellent naan, showcases the breadth of skill in the kitchen, and is a knockout dish. Interestingly, each menu contains a wine list, which is a useful idea, although it would be more user-friendly to see the food up front, and the wine list at the back.
This Dublin restaurants got a good choice of wines, by both the glass and bottle, most of which are accessibly priced. Cobra and Tiger beers are available too, although not on the menu.
The creative vision in the kitchen has been carried through to the glamorous dining room, which has taken the best of Indian design and given it a stylish contemporary twist. Flock fabric chairs in jewel colours sit beneath organically shaped lamps that seem to float like giant jellyfish.
Alcoves are trimmed with subtle dark woodcarvings, evoking the palaces of Rajasthan; bright canvasses of rural scenes reference the colourful southern provinces; richly coloured walls evoke the vibrant saris that dot India’s streetscapes. All these elements have been perfectly tied together on a pale striped carpet to create a stylish, comfortable and highly distinctive dining room.
The purity of flavours, the wonderfully presented dishes, the smart service and the beautiful dining room make Ananda appealing on so many levels.
For the quality of cooking on offer, it offers surprisingly good value too.

If the myths are to be believed, Ireland is Europe’s funny bone. Over the past few decades, the island has sent comedians into the world like lemmings over a cliff. In 2013, one city is laying claim to the title of Ireland’s comedy capital. They’re joking, right?
The Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell is on his way to visit Derry-Londonderry and he has a confession to make: “Of all the cities in Ireland, this is probably the most of a mystery to me.”
Up until recently, he wouldn’t have been alone. If you cornered most comedians and pressed them about the world’s comedy capitals, they would have trotted out the big-hitters: Edinburgh, London, New York, and Montreal. Dublin maybe. Even Kilkenny, thanks to the Cat Laughs festival, might make the cut with real connoisseurs.
But in 2013, Derry-Londonderry is edging its way onto that list.
Derry-Londonderry has attracted the cream of Ireland’s comedy crop to its stages. Comedian Jimmy Carr (a self-confessed “Plastic Paddy”, Carr holds an Irish passport) returns to the city this February, while Wicklow-born Dara Ó Briain and Perrier Comedy Award-winning Dubliner David O’Doherty have also had the crowds enjoying a good laugh in the past.
Should the gig go wrong, should the sound of wheezing laughter be replaced with the “dong” of lead balloons falling, it’s the promoter who pays. And right now, in Derry-Londonderry, promoter Eavan King is the Queen of Comedy. In an interview with Culture Northern Ireland, King moved the spotlight onto what has become a comedy institution in the city: Masons…
“It's a great venue; intimate, with a friendly crowd who are there to have fun, not to heckle or find fault. Once you get the venue right everything else falls into place, including having bigger names eager to play to the local crowds.”
If Masons is the grass roots of giggles in the city, The Playhouse is Carnegie Hall. And here’s the kicker about comedy in Derry-Londonderry: on one stage, a star is being born; on another, an established comic holds hundreds in the palm of his hand.
The latter stage is generally The Playhouse.
Comedy festivals are like a bag of assorted sweets. Mostly what you’ll get is something sweet and satisfying. From time to time, you’ll end up with that orange liqueur and an aftertaste that just won’t go away.
When The Playhouse established the Big Tickle Comedy Festival, they wanted all their sweets to leave a good taste.
As a Big Tickle organiser and part of The Playhouse furniture, Aine McCarron is one of those people you’d see in a “Dream Jobs” article. She explains the buzz (and possibly the relief) when a festival act really delivers: “There’s something very exciting about watching a comedian work with an audience in such an intimate environment as The Playhouse. The comedian can always create a great dialogue and repertoire with his or her audience.”
From the apparent success of Big Tickle, it would seem the acts are hitting the mark with satisfying regularity:
“The festival has gone from strength to strength since it first started in 2004. You can tell it’s grabbed the imagination because the buzz builds weeks before it begins in September. Sure, we all need a laugh,” says McCarron.
Don’t we just.

Those who continually make excuses for and supported terrorism fail. The so called nationalism is nothing but social disorder and social disorder is failure.
IrelandNorth | Jun 15, 2012, 06:25 AM EDT
It's quite obvious from certain serial posters that the old fashioned neo-imperialist Ulster Unionism/British Loyalism which sees things in terms of victpory and defeat, dominance and supremacy lingers on. Those who make a virtue of complaining of armed conflict and political violence against constitutional injustice need to change their mindsets. Change the cause, and the effect will alter significantly. NB aBtb07!

Northern Ireland isn't quiet, IRA Republican Provo Terrorists are still killing people wantonly. The difference now is they're doing it without support from the US because they lost.

Oil at highest level in two weeks
Crude traded close to the highest level in almost two weeks in New York as China's official manufacturing index rose to a seven-month high, signalling economic recovery in the world's second-biggest crude consumer.
China's Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 50.6 in November, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said December 1 in Beijing. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
"The data shows an acceleration in Chinese growth, which has been the main driver for global demand," said Carsten Fritsch, an analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. Crude for January delivery was at $88.82 a barrel, down 9 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 8.57am London time.
The contract climbed 84 cents on November 30 to $88.91, the highest close since November 19.
Prices gained 3.1 per cent last month and are down 10 per cent this year.
Brent for January settlement declined 12 cents to $111.11 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The European benchmark contract was at a premium of $22.24 to WTI, down from $22.32 on Nov. 30. Fund Bets Hedge funds raised bullish oil bets for a second week as U.S. stockpiles fell to the lowest level in a month.
Money managers boosted net-long positions, or wagers on higher US oil prices, by 5.7 per cent in the seven days ended November 27, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's November.

The public consultation on same-sex marriage legislation is to close.
The Scottish Government has been gathering views since December.
People have a final chance to contribute before the consultation on the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill closes.
The Bill would legalise gay marriage, with religious and belief bodies required to opt in to perform same-sex marriages. It also contains provisions to protect freedom of speech and amend guidelines for teaching around the issue in schools..

No one knows more about American conservatism’s past, and in Reappraising the Right he shares that knowledge with us, and also his wisdom about where conservatism can go from here."— MICHAEL BARONE, coauthor of The Almanac of American Politics
"A tour de force. Exhaustively researched and brilliantly written, Reappraising the Right further solidifies Nash’s sterling reputation as America’s premier intellectual historian of conservatism. No student of American political philosophy and politics should be without this sequel to Nash’s landmark work The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945. The two constitute the bookends, the alpha and omega, to understanding conservatism in America."— CHARLES W. DUNN, Regent University, editor of The Future of Conservatism
"George Nash, the preeminent historian of American conservatism, brings to this far-reaching work a vast and unsurpassed knowledge of the political and intellectual revolution that occurred in postwar America with the rise of the Right. There are many books on conservatism, but this is one that needs to be read both by those unfamiliar with the story and by political insiders."— DONALD T. CRITCHLOW, Saint Louis University, author of Phyllis Schlafly and Grassroots Conservatism
"When George Nash speaks, conservatives listen—especially when he reassures us in this splendid and perceptive book that we have a future as well as a past."— LEE EDWARDS, Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought, the Heritage Foundation
"Scholars and laymen alike will profit from these pieces. They are a joy to read and fine specimens of the historians craft. . . Reappraising the Right is worth purchasing for the chapters on Jewish conservatives alone, and historians of 20th century intellectual thought will find much to value in this book."— History News Network
"This new book may provide the single most lucid analysis available of the varieties of American conservatism and their common convictions, mutual opponents, and underlying antagonisms. . . . It persuasively argues that to persevere today, conservatives must learn in changed circumstances how to preserve its sources and navigate its crosscurrents. . . . A graceful and incisive exploration of the history of conservatism in America."— The Weekly Standard
“[Nash] has impeccable scholarly credentials . . . [and] brings to the current subject a historian’s perspective and an unwaveringly irenic temper. . . . Nash’s interest in things conservative is so catholic and comprehensive that very little of what needs to be said about modern conservatism is left out.”— First Things
“Even for those who are familiar with his subject, there is much in these essays that is new and insight¬ful. . . . Whether talk¬ing about conservative think tanks, the influence of the Southern Agrarian Richard Weaver, the ambivalences of Whittaker Chambers, William F. Buckley Jr.’s writing habits, or the career of Herbert Hoover, Nash is usually enlightening.”— The American Conservative
“Nash’s pellucid prose ensures that scholars and laymen alike will profit from these pieces. They are a joy to read and fine specimens of the historian’s craft. . . . Nash is a genteel and charming writer, fair-minded, and a meticulous researcher.”— History News Network
“Masterful . . . Eloquently and engaging¬ly, [Nash] unveils the story of one of this nation’s most important intellectual and political movements of the 20th century—the conservative move¬ment. . . . Nash’s book gives the best and most complete history of American religious conservatism anywhere.”— Citizen
“An intriguing look at the right end of the political spectrum, highly intriguing reading.”— Midwest Book Review
"Those readaing Nash's collection of essays and addresses will gaingreater leverage in evaluating much of the recent writings that foretell conservatism's imminent doom"— Springer
Interview with George H. Nash, author of
Reappraising the Right
Dr. Nash, why did you decide to publish this book?
For two reasons: to contribute to the scholarly understanding of American conservatism And because the time is ripe.
What do you mean, “the time is ripe”?
As i was preparing this volume for publication, the president of the United States and his entourage were engaged in a noisy, public argument with a fellow named Rush Limbaugh, a man considered by many to be the most influential spokesman for American conservatism at this time. Meanwhile many on the political left are gleefully claiming that conservatism in the United States is in terminal disarray. They say it is brain-dead. A few on the right seem half-inclined to agree. Here and there intramural squabbles are breaking out among conservatives as they try to regroup after last year’s election. So 2009 seems like a highly appropriate time for conservatives especially—and others, too—to pause and take stock of this once-dominant political and intellectual movement. That is where I come in.
How so?
I am a professional historian and student of American conservatism. I have researched, written, and lectured about this subject since the 1970s, beginning with my doctoral dissertation at Harvard University. My first book, the conservative intellectual movement in America since 1945, was published in 1976 and is still in print (in updated form). So I bring to this much disputed subject something few people have: historical perspective.
But isn’t conservatism passé now? Wasn’t it just repudiated at the polls?
Well, we shall see. One of the themes of my new book is that in the past few decades American conservatism has grown in intellectual sophistication and political heft to become a competitive and powerful presence in our public life. Along the way it has built an elaborate infrastructure of media and think tanks that shows few signs of withering away. Come what may in the long run, it appears to me as a historian that in the short run—the next five or ten years—conservatives will be important participants in our national conversation.
It sounds like you are telling conservatives to take courage.
Yes, you could say that. I also believe that the current season of soul searching on the right is a good moment for conservatives to take a “refresher course,” reexamine their roots, and deepen their self-understanding. My book can help them do this.
I have looked at the table of contents of your book. You seem to write mainly about intellectuals, including some I have never heard of. Why?
Because--contrary to popular stereotype—the conservative coalition that developed in the past two generations has been motivated not so much by “special interests” as by ideas. The Conservative movement as we know it today exemplifies the truth of Mazzini’s remark: “ideas rule the world and its events.” Or as conservatives like to say (borrowing from a book title by Richard m. Weaver): “ideas have consequences.”
Are you saying that conservative politicians like Ronald Reagan were not so important?
Not at all. But conservatism in America has always been more than just a tune played by republican politicos. Before Reagan, before newt Gingrich, before Sarah Palin and other conservative icons, there were the writers, philosophers, economists, historians, and literary giants who articulated what conservatives believed and should believe. People like William f. Buckley Jr., Russell Kirk, and Friedrich Hayek—all of whom i appraise in my new volume. These brilliant individuals laid the intellectual foundations and supplied the “idea power” which conservative activists exploited in the public arena during “the age of Reagan.” Reagan, by the way, was an avid man of ideas himself—something of an intellectual, really, as you will discover in my chapter on him in my book.
You seem to take a special interest in Herbert Hoover—not exactly a conservative favorite these days. Why?
I have written a comprehensive, three-volume, scholarly biography of Hoover, one of the most accomplished and elusive figures in our country’s history—a man who saved more lives (in his humanitarian work) than any other person who has ever lived. But more importantly for the theme of my book, Hoover was once a hero of conservatives; today he is generally rejected by those who identify with the American right. Yet there is much in Hoover’s record and political philosophy which should appeal to today’s conservatives if they will get past what they think they know about him and become more adequately acquainted with his career.
You also devote a lengthy section of your book to conservatism in the American Jewish community. This seems unusual, since most Jewish voters are politically liberal.
That is true, but in my research i have discovered and documented a notable contribution by jewish writers to the evolution of modern American conservatism. I think my chapters on this relatively neglected subject will surprise many readers. It underscores one of the themes of my volume: that conservatism is not and has never been monolithic. It is a river with many tributaries.
What would you like a reader to take away, finally, from your
New book?
I would like readers of all persuasions to come away with a better understanding of American conservatism and therefore a better understanding of our times. I would like conservatives to acquire in the process a deeper and firmer knowledge of their intellectual foundations.

"It was a real treat to coast the curve of time with Professor Gottfried as his many milestones of intellectual history reveal their greatness with charm and their foibles with candor. The author's searing self-awareness is an inspiration to all who eschew vulgarity for nobility."— Rabbi Daniel Lapin President, American Alliance of Jews and Christians
"Political philosopher Paul Gottfried, well-known for his studies of modern ideologies such as Marxism and neoconservatism, reveals the personal and intellectual influences that have made him one of our most provocative scholars. In this candid and beautifully written memoir, we learn more about friends such as Herbert Marcuse, Richard Nixon, and Patrick Buchanan than in a shelf of biographies. Encounters is indispensable reading for every student of modern American conservatism."— Lee Edwards Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought The Heritage Foundation
"What jumps off the pages of Encounters is the amazing intellectual courage of an author who clearly and unequivocally states and defends what he believes. Agree with Gottfried or not, you will appreciate his refreshing honesty. A penetrating read."— L. Brent Bozell III

The High Court on Thursday dismissed a request by the Journalists' Union to put a hold on the appointment of Yoni Ben-Menachem as chairman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority. The appointment was made last week, and the Court rejected a demand to suspend Ben-Menachem's appointment. The court said that the appointment would be discussed in depth next week, and all parties were welcome at that time to present their arguments. Until then, the Court said, there was no reason for Ben-Menachem not to begin working as IBA chairman.
The petition charges that Ben-Menachem is not fit for the job because he is a “political appointment of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.”

Mac OS X and SCSI
Q. I want to move to MacOS X but I have some SCSI devices that I need. I’ve heard that SCSI cards don’t work on MacOSX. Are there any that work?
A. Unfortunately many of us have the same problem. There are a lot of FireWire and USB devices that make it hard to hang onto SCSI devices, Zips, Jaz drives and Scanners et al. But you may also have hard drives and tape drives that you need. Most of us switched over to Adaptec cards when buying G3s and G4s. Adaptec is not supporting MacOS X and the drivers that Apple has included don’t work reliably. Other SCSI card manufacturers, Orange Micro and FWB have either gone out of business or been acquired by other companies, so drivers are not available.
We’ve recently had great success with SCSI cards from ATTO Technologies. Their ExpressPCI UL3S and UL4S are the only cards recommended by EMC Dantz makers of Retrospect Backup software and LaCie, makers of SCSI tape drives. If you have a mission critical application like a Tape Library or a RAID then you may want to get an ATTO card. Otherwise, I would take the money that it would cost for the card and invest in FireWire products.

Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine
and its Relation to Chinese Herbal Medicine
Ayurveda, the ancient tradition of India, is often translated as the "science of life," but this is a poor representation of the term. Science refers to a method of study that was developed long after Ayurveda; reading Ayurvedic texts, one sees a religious document rather than a scientific one. In the book Oriental Medicine: An Illustrated Guide to the Asian Arts of Healing, an ancient etymological definition is given:
It is called ayurveda because it tells us (vedayati) which substances, qualities, and actions are life-enhancing (ayusya) and which are not.
In other words, Ayurveda is an instruction for enhancing life. Ayurvedic medicine has some relevance to Chinese traditional medicine. Both systems are instructional, rather than scientific, and are fundamentally aimed at enhancing life. Both are additionally focused at treatment of specific diseases that plagued ancient societies for centuries.
Nearly half of the most commonly-used herbs in each of these two Asian medical systems (India and China) are the same or similar and their actions are described in somewhat overlapping terms. For example, in both systems, herbs are described according to the symptoms they treat, their warming or cooling nature, and their influence on the body humors. What differs is the basic set of categories of disharmony: the diagnostic and therapeutic groupings. In traditional Chinese medicine the correspondence systems of yin and yang and the five elements have a strong influence, as do the depictions of certain bodily humors (qi, blood, moisture, and essence), and the internal organ systems (zangfu). In Ayurvedic medicine, although the total system is quite complex, there is a dominance of the three dosha (tridosha) system: kapha, pitta, vata (also called vayu). These three function within a body that is described primarily in terms of stages of transformation (following the path of ingested food as it is converted into essential substances that comprise the body) rather than by physical structures and functional organs.
The reliance on a triad of influences on health and disease sometimes forces Ayurvedic medicine into a relatively simplistic system, which has had the effect of strangling its development compared to Chinese medicine. Several books on Ayurvedic medicine that have been presented to the West expend most of their pages on classifying individuals and their symptoms into these three groupings, and then present foods, herbs, physical therapies that are classified primarily by their effects on the three doshas. As stated by P. Kutumbiah in his book Ancient Indian Medicine: "The doctrine of the tridosha plays an important role in ancient Indian medicine. It is the basis of its diagnosis, pathology, and therapeutics. A correct appreciation of it is, therefore, essential for a proper understanding of Indian medicine....In the later medical works, it underwent great elaboration owing to the influence of the cosmological speculations and consequently suffered much violence to make it fall in line with them." The enforced alignment with so-called "cosmological speculations" was a problem that also affected Chinese medicine, where the five element and six qi (environmental influences) systems had a stifling effect because everything was forced to fit, even when reason and experience indicated otherwise.
Chinese medicine made an escape from its philosophical binds through constantly reworking of the basic system by strong-minded and experienced commentators. Ayurvedic medicine did not have a similar transformation, and so it struggles with certain inconsistencies that date back to a much earlier age without having been addressed, at least in any preserved writings, in the interim.
Ayurvedic, Chinese, and other traditional systems are today yielding their theoretical and experiential frameworks to investigation by modern scientific techniques, applied mainly for the purpose of illustrating the effectiveness of remedies that have been developed over the centuries. In this context, the underlying theoretical framework fades away, and the tested substances become the focus of a new international effort at preventive health care and disease treatment. Herbal formulas developed today rely on a combination of traditional and modern indications for the use of the medicinal materials.
The Chinese and Ayurvedic medical systems each rely heavily on a pair of texts that are revered as statements of all the fundamental principles within the tradition. In the Chinese system, these texts are the Suwen (Basic Questions) and Lingshu (Spiritual Pivot), which together form the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), written around 100 B.C. Although both of these Chinese texts are referenced by subsequent authors of Chinese medical works, the Suwen is considered the principal text, laying out such basic theories as the five elements, application of acupuncture, and the cause and progression of diseases.
In the Ayurvedic system, the two texts are the Caraka Samhita (Compendium of Caraka; also spelled Charaka) and the Susruta Samhita (Compendium of Susruta), both estimated to have been written around 100 A.D. These are huge volumes, many times the size of the Chinese works (an English translation of the two Indian texts runs 2,700 pages, while the translation of the two Chinese texts runs only 600 pages). The Susruta, though it contains a diversity of information, is mostly known as a text on surgery; the Caraka, by contrast, is relied upon as the primary source for information about basic Ayurvedic theory and about herbal medicine. Therefore, it is the quoted source book for virtually any discussion of Indian herbs and, in that sense, it may be likened to the Suwen of the Chinese tradition.A 5-volume translation of the Caraka Samhita, revised for publication in 1996, is available from India. However, just as occurs in the Chinese writings, quotes from the Caraka are to be found in virtually every text and few practitioners outside of India go back to the original work to study the principles. It should be briefly mentioned that there is a third Indian text that is usually grouped with Caraka and Susruta. Caraka accomplished the final synthesis of Indian medicine, and Susruta that of surgery. Their works have thereafter held undisputed sway in Indian medicine up to the present time. The Indian medical writers after Caraka and Susruta were only their imitators and abstractors. No real original work was accomplished after them."
The Chinese Suwen and Indian Caraka each present steps to take in one's daily life to promote health; they also describe causes of disease (such as environmental, dietary, and emotional factors), present information about specific diseases and disease progression, and offer therapeutic measures. Whereas the Suwen mainly recommends acupuncture as the therapy to be used for diseases, the Caraka mainly presents herbs, oil massages, and enemas. In that aspect, the Caraka is comparable to a different pair of Chinese books, the Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Diseases Caused by Cold Pathogens) and Jingui Yaolue (Miscellaneous Diseases and Their Treatment). Those texts mainly present herbal therapies. The use of therapeutic massage (with specific oils according to the disorder being treated) and heavy reliance on enemas (usually made with an oil base) is unique to the Ayurvedic system; application of oils internally and topically, is often referred to in recent books as oleation.
For information about herbs and their properties, the Chinese have relied heavily on the work of Li Shizhen in his 16th century compendium Bencao Gangmu (Grand Compendium of Herbs) at least until the 20th century, when numerous revised Materia Medica books appeared. Li's work is part of a continuous tradition of revised and expanded Materia Medica dating back to the Shennong Bencao Jing (Herbal Classic of Shennong) that was written around 100 A.D. The Chinese herbal tradition is traced in a modern book called History of Medicine: Pharmaceutics, by Paul Unschuld. A portion of the contents of the Bencao Gangmu (only that involving plant materials) was translated into English, with commentaries about current conditions in China at the end of the 19th century by Smith and Stuart, in their book Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Ayurvedic medicine has not had as rich a tradition of Materia Medica works, with much reliance placed still on the contents of the Caraka. In 1908, Dr. K. M. Nadkarnia published a two-volume Indian Materia Medica, a guide to Ayurveda that is still considered the standard text. Comparable to the Smith and Stuart book in the timing of its publication, it combines information from ancient traditional practices, current Ayurvedic practices, and reports from Europeans (such as analysis of active constituents, pharmacology, and European uses of the same herbs). Unlike the Chinese Materia Medica books, this Indian text makes no references to previous works on Indian herbs, does not outline any history of the development of the drugs, does not indicate when an herb was introduced into practice, and, except for occasional references to Caraka, doesn't quote earlier authors on Ayurvedic medicine, except for those working right around the time of its publication, mainly R.N. Chopra.
The proper translation and understanding of the key element of the Ayurvedic tradition, the tridosha, remains at the heart of making Ayurveda accessible to those who did not grow up with and assiduously study this field. As to understanding the tridosha system, in the introduction to the Indian Materia Medica, this is offered:
The doshas-vayu, pitta, and kapha-constitute the tripod on which Ayurveda stands. To understand their theory perfectly and correctly is by itself a long and arduous study. The subject being a very complicated one, it cannot be explained within a few pages. Also, it has been defined by different experts in different ways, but the basic principles to which they all point to are the same.
This comment is followed by concerns about translation of tridosha terms to English, taken from an address on Hindu Medicine given at the Hindu University in Benaras (ca. 1920):
The theory of vayu, pitta, and kapha was also a great discovery, which, unfortunately, has been much misunderstood by Western scholars judging by the wrong mercenary translations, rendering these terms as wind, bile, and phlegm. The proper explanation of this theory will take up a treatise by itself, but let me observe here in passing that the word vayu does not imply wind in Ayurvedic literature, but comprehends [encompasses] all the phenomena which come under the functions of the central and sympathetic nervous systems; that the word pitta does not essentially mean bile, but signifies the functions of thermogenesis or heat production and metabolism, comprehending in its scope the process of digestion, coloration of blood [e.g., production of red blood cells], and formation of various secretions and excretions which are either the means or the ends of tissue combustion [catabolism], and that the word kapha does not mean phlegm but is used primarily to imply the function of thermo-taxis or heat regulation and secondarily formation of the various preservative fluids, e.g., mucus, synovia, etc., though the crude products of pitta and kapha have been sometimes called by these names [bile and phlegm, respectively]....
These concerns about translation are comparable to those that arise with the Chinese system, in which, for example, the use of modern names for internal organs seems inappropriate to the depiction of traditional organ systems (e.g., pi translated as spleen, or shen translated as kidney); similarly, the off-hand translation of qi as energy leads to all kinds of misunderstandings, even among practitioners.
Dr. Nadkarni, after further expressing regret that the full theory cannot be expounded for want of space, states the following about the tridosha system:
To be more explicit, I may add that these principles, known as vayu, pitta, and kapha, occur in two forms:
1. An invisible or essential form, which mainly guide the physiological processes pertaining to them naturally;
2. A crude or visible form, the products (as secretions or excretions) of those processes induced by these essential terms.
The relation between the two forms is very close, so that the derangement of the essential form of one principle gives rise at once to increased or morbid secretions and excretions of that principle. The failure to recognize the difference between these two forms of the principles has given rise to the erroneous rendering of pitta as bile and kapha as phlegm. The rendering of vayu as wind is preposterous....
The two forms of the doshas, essential and crude, may be likened (very roughly) to the connection in the Chinese system between an element and its associated manifestation. For example, there are the associations of wood (the underlying element) with wind, liver, and tendon (its manifestations); or of the earth element with dampness, spleen, and muscles, etc. The situation may also be likened to the understanding of the six qi described in Chinese medicine (fire, cold, damp, wind, dryness, and moisture): there is the influence of these factors on the body and there is the corresponding manifestation of disease. Thus, for example, heat (fire) adversely influences the body, and can eventually yield a fire syndrome, which might manifest as fever, inflammation, dark colored discharge, or other characteristics defined by the tradition. The influence is one thing and the syndrome is another thing, but they can be described by the same term (in the example: fire). In a parallel manner, the Ayurvedic system describes an influence-one or more of vayu, pitta, and kapha-and there are the material results of those influences, which might be referred to as humors, secretions, and excretions.
These two-influence and manifestation-are easily confused, and it is seen in the Ayurvedic medical literature that the flow of thought back and forth between these two aspects leads one to easily forget which is the focus of concern. Further, as occurs in both the Chinese and Ayurvedic systems, each of these influences is not solely pathological, despite the frequent reference to their role in pathology. They are pathological when there is an excess or deficiency or some other type of deviation from normal (such as imbalanced level or inappropriate interaction between any two); otherwise, they are essential to life. In fact, in the traditional Ayurvedic system, when vayu, kapha, and pitta are in their normal measure they are called dhatus (supporters of the body), while they are called doshas (faults) if they are producing imbalance. So it is that one can become disoriented by considering a fundamental entity, defined by a single word such as feng (in China) or vayu (in India), as being both essential and pathological, a causative factor and a result, a symbol and a manifestation.
As to the idea that translating vayu as wind is preposterous, one can understand the terminology conundrum by reading the description of this dosha in the primary text on Ayurveda, the Caraka Samhita. On the one hand, vayu is described this way:
When moving in the world in an excited state, without doubt, vayu, and lightning to fall down on the earth. It causes excess of virtues, absence of virtues, and contrariety of virtues in respect of the six seasons. It causes failure of crops. It produces disease and plagues. It destroys many objects.
This description sounds like wind as we all know it, at least as it occurs in hurricanes and tornadoes (it is only so destructive in the "excited state"). When describing vayu as an aspect of the human body, it takes on a different form. Here is the description of its favorable side, when not "excited" (the parenthetical statements being clarifications included by the translators):.
The idea that wind encompasses all the functions of the central nervous system, as Nadkarni has explained in semi-modern terminology to his audience, doesn't seem to fit all that well with the above description. The Caraka Samhita continues:
When excited within the body, vayuaction, cheerlessness, and delusions. It destroys life.
Here, the agitation of mind, injury to senses, and the development of various mental states and delusions that result from agitated wind seems consistent with a role of the central nervous system. Still, the translation term for vayu as wind is probably as good as one can do to capture this diverse traditional concept that clearly go beyond what we know the central nervous system to encompass. The term wind in Chinese medicine is equally problematic; it also has some connections with the central nervous system (wind diseases often involve involuntary muscular conditions and abnormal sensory conditions, which are related to central nervous system activity), perhaps more so than in the Indian system. Vayu, unlike pitta and kapha, has its own chapter in the Caraka Samhita; in fact, it has two full chapters. It is the condition that requires the most explanation, and did so even in ancient times.
The description of pitta as bile is actually the one that goes most against the grain. This translation, first made centuries ago, has its origins in ancient Greek medicine, which influenced European medicine and its terminology until the 19th century. According to the Greek tradition, there were three humors in the body: blood, phlegm, and bile (which could be subdivided into two forms: yellow and black). The term bile was simply carried over to explain the Indian system; in both traditional systems, it was associated with burning sensation and feverish condition, though that is nearly the full extent of the connection. For those who have experience with traditional Chinese medicine, the term "fire" fits better than bile as a description for pitta, and it is sometimes used by writers as a substitute term for bile (as in the current work). In the Ayurvedic system, there is a subdivision of pitta, called agni, which is often translated as digestive fire. Here again, the term fire seems to be acceptable.
Phlegm is the term used for the Chinese concept tan; it works reasonably well in that system if one is willing to expand the definition of phlegm considerably beyond its generally accepted applications in the West. The term phlegm also fits kapha sufficiently to be usable, though it remains far from ideal. So long as one understands that the translation terms are applicable to broad traditional concepts rather than limited modern definitions, one should be able to make use of them in communicating among practitioners, if not in easily describing the system to patients.
The translation problems aside, it is unfortunate that even when time and space permits, the elaboration of the concept of the three doshas does not come out much more clearly, as anyone can realize by reading several Ayurvedic texts. However, that is also the case with some Chinese concepts like qi, which have so many depictions-sometimes contradicting one another-that it is difficult to pin down any particular meaning. One eventually learns how to make clinical use of these terms and the concepts behind them through regular study of the available literature.
To sum up tridosha in a few words, one of the leading Western authorities on Ayurveda, Robert Svoboda, in his book Ayurveda: Life, Health and Longevity, has said this:
The three doshas are invisible forces that can be demonstrated in the body only by inference. Comparisons with the wind, bile, and phlegm of Hippocratic medicine ignore their non-physical character. Wind, bile, phlegm, and other bodily constituents are merely the vehicles of the three doshas, substances that carry these forces and through which display their qualities and perform their actions....The.
The famous Chinese physician Li Gao (Li Dongyuan; 1180-1251 AD) believed that most diseases that arise internally are linked to weakness of the stomach/spleen system. This system, first and foremost, involves the digestive processes. Li's most famous remedy, Ginseng and Astragalus Combination (Buzhong Yiqi Tang) has the property of improving digestive function, enhancing the nutritive status of the body, and treating a wide range of disorders secondary to the lack of adequate qi and blood. Similarly, in the Ayurvedic system, the Caraka states that digestive system problems are the root of disease. Here is a description by Rob Svoboda:
How the doshas affect the body and mind is expressed in a verse from Caraka: 'The balance and aggravation of the doshas is at all times due to the relative strength or weakness of the digestive fire. Therefore, one must always protect the digestive fire, and prohibit all activities which might weaken it.' All diseases are due to angimandya-weakness of the digestive fire [angi = digestive fire, mandya = weakness], with the exception of one condition, in which the fire becomes exceptionally intense. Prajnaparadha [prajna = mental alertness, wisdom; paradha = failing, impairment, violation of] is a sort of weakness of the mental digestion, which is transmitted via various paths to the body.
The body's digestive fire is normal when there is normal desire for food, no discomfort after eating, no belching and no heaviness or other symptoms during digestion; when a sense of well-being and satisfaction occurs [after a meal]; and when all wastes have normal consistency, do not contain undigested food, and are excreted at normal times. The mind's digestive fire should be examined in a similar way, prajnaparadha is clearly indicative of weak mental digestion.
Like all fires, the body's digestive fire changes from moment to moment. It becomes weak as a result of: overuse of cold and liquid substances, especially ice water, especially in winter; overeating or undereating; overconsumption of heavy food, such as meat; eating before the previous meal has been digested; improper food combining; restraint of natural reflex urges, which cause vata to move in improper directions; disturbances of sleep; consumption of food to which one is not habituated; consumption of food at the wrong time (according to the seasons, the climate, one's age and health, and so on); overactivity (especially sexual) or underactivity; and mental causes, especially envy, fear, anger, greed, anguish, wretchedness, misery, and sorrow.
Students of Chinese medicine will recognize immediately most of the prohibitions and cautions, such as concerns about cold (weakening spleen and kidney yang), too much liquid (causing spleen dampness), excessive sexual activity (depleting essence), and the role of the emotions in causing disease. In the Ayurvedic system there may be even more emphasis than in the Chinese system on the importance of food in attaining and maintaining health. There is also the concern about restraint of natural urges, which coincides with or contradicts Taoist approaches, depending on the author of the Taoist instructions and the particular urge under consideration.
An immediate adverse result of such factors as digestive fire weakness, dietary improprieties, and the other things that affect food digestion (such as emotions, type of food, amount eaten), is the production of ama. This term refers to something that is incomplete, unprocessed, raw. The implication is that incompletely digested food materials can pass out of the digestive system and travel through the body, causing all kinds of diseases. The Chinese tradition has a similar concept: undigested food produces a pathological phlegm that can cause many diseases, including cardiovascular blockage, mental derangement (from "phlegm-mist" blocking the orifices), and joint pain, to mention a few. Indeed, Chinese writers have suggested that when there are strange, difficult to diagnose, or difficult to treat diseases, it is a sign that pathological phlegm is involved. Another formula developed by Li Gao, Pinellia and Gastrodia Combination (Banxia Baizhu Tianma Tang), is specifically aimed at treating the results of phlegm accumulation from undigested food. It is indicated for recurrent headaches and vertigo, compulsive sleeping after eating, weakness of hands and feet, hypertension associated with gastrointestinal weakness, headache and vertigo due to hypotension, abdominal distention, gastroptosis, sinusitis, cold hands and feet, heavy feeling in the legs, anemia, and fatigue. The formula is comprised primarily of digestive aids and tonics for the spleen.
In the Chinese system, properly digested food produces normal qi and blood that promotes health; in the Ayurvedic system, it produces rasa, which has the same function, helping to form healthy blood. The improperly digested food produces pathological phlegm (kapha) and accumulated mass (ama) that is a source of disease.
A number of spicy herbs, such as ginger, cardamom, atractylodes, citrus, pogostemon, and raphanus are used by Chinese physicians to enliven the stomach function, promote complete digestion of food, and alleviate food stagnation. To an even greater extent, the Indian system relies on spicy herbs, including a variety of peppers (especially long pepper and black pepper), cumins, asafoetida, basil, and turmeric to stimulate the digestive fire, calm the overproduction and agitation of kapha, and prevent the accumulation of ama. In the Chinese system, but not in the Ayurvedic system, sweet herbs, such as ginseng, astragalus, jujube, maltose, and licorice, are utilized to benefit the functions of the spleen, which represents an important aspect of the digestive system. Indeed, as an indicator of divergence between the Chinese and Ayurvedic herb approaches to this problem, in Ayurvedic formulas, one Indian herb, ashwaganda, commonly takes the place of all of these sweet Chinese herbs, yet it has a bitter quality rather than being sweet. Investigating the overlap and divergence between herb selection and treatment strategies for these two systems can inspire practitioners to broaden their understanding of traditional medical principles and also help to alert them to the exceptions to the seemingly solid rules that are laid down in the ancient texts.
While some diseases are of short duration and mainly affect one part of the body, others progress to affect additional parts of the body and can eventually engulf the entire organism. In early Chinese texts, especially the Neijing and the Shanghan Lun, very detailed accounts of disease progression are given. The concept of six disease stages (taiyang, shaoyang, yangming, taiyin, shaoyin, and jueyin) is associated with the impact of cold pathogenic factors. This classification was later joined by four disease stages (wei, qi, ying, xue) associated with hot pathogenic factors. The idea of disease stages has directed the Chinese thinking about diagnosing and treating diseases with herbs.
In the Ayurvedic system, the concept of disease progression is somewhat different. As described by Rob Svoboda: "Weakness of the digestive fire is the root cause of all diseases, vata is the chief cause of the development of all diseases, and ama is the principal nourisher of disease." The primary stages are accumulation, aggravation, and overflow:
Accumulation: As a result of exposure to causative factors, one or more of the doshas accumulates in its seat: kapha in the stomach, pitta in the small intestine, and vata in the colon. Each produces its own characteristic symptoms: doshas are easiest to remove from the system at this stage.
Aggravation: In this stage, which literally means rage, the doshas continue to increase and put pressure on their reservoirs, intensifying the symptoms they have produced. It is still fairly easy to remove the doshas even at this stage, but while treating them, their reservoir organs, which have been stressed by their ire, need also to be strengthened. The doshas do not always accumulate before they become enraged; if the causes are strong enough, aggravation may occur directly.
Overflow: If aggravation is permitted to proceed unchecked, the doshas escape their homes, wandering about the body like vagabonds, searching for a place to camp. All the previous symptoms worsen, and kapha may produce vomiting, pitta may produce diarrhea, and vata may produce colicky pain in the colon and painful defecation, with the liberation of copious quantities of gas. Overflow can also occur without previous accumulation or aggravation of the doshas in their reservoir organs if they are displaced by the force of aggravated vata, which may be directly disturbed by exposure to strong imbalancing causes, such as excessive desire (especially sexual), sleeplessness, excessive talking and activity (especially on an empty stomach), sudden vomiting or diarrhea (particularly if self-induced), intense joy or sadness, and the restraint of any of the natural reflex urges.
Following these initial stages, if the disease is not properly treated, the doshas will find a location where they can concentrate themselves, and will then begin to transform the normal body functions and structures into a seriously diseased condition. The disease will then manifest the specific symptoms according to: the constitution of the individual; the way the disease progressed; and any factors that currently influence the body or mind. Localization, manifestation, and specialization of the disease process are the final three stages in the Ayurvedic system of six disease stages.
For the herbalist, perhaps the important thing to know about the herbs and the doshas (or the physical manifestations of the doshas) is that vata is cold and dry in nature, kapha is cold and moist in nature, and pitta is hot and moist in nature. By analyzing the symptoms and constitution of the patient, one determines the prevalence of each of the physical manifestations of the doshas (and the degree of influence exerted by the non-material aspects of each of the doshas), and selects herbs or prepared herbal formulas to harmonize the influences and correct the physical imbalances, based on the characteristics of the herbal materials.
So long as one is careful not to rigidly link Indian and Chinese traditional ideas, it is possible to make reasonable comparisons of the properties of herbs and their therapeutic actions. For example, rather than describing excess and deficiency conditions, as done in the Chinese system, the Ayurvedic system tends to depict, on the one hand, excitation or disturbance ("vitiation"), and, on the other hand, what might be termed sluggishness of the doshas. Still, these imbalances correspond, in practice, with the Chinese excess and deficiency concepts. These linkages are roughly as follows:
Overall, pitta and vata are especially distinguished in the Indian system by the hot versus cold properties. Vata and kapha are distinguished in the Indian system primarily by the dry versus moist properties.
An example of an herb used essentially the same way in the two traditional medical systems is asafoetida. The strongly fragrant spice is considered in both systems to be very warming (China: chill-dispelling; India: increases pitta), and to resolve accumulation of stagnated fluids (China: dispels moisture and phlegm; India: releases kapha). These similarities in application are found in many of the spicy, warm herbs that promote digestive functions.
Asparagus root is an example of an herb that is described in similar ways but used differently in the two systems. It is relied upon in the Chinese tradition to nourish yin and clear heat. The Indian description corresponds well: it is used to increase kapha (moist, cool) and reduce pitta (hot). However, in India, asparagus is frequently used as an aphrodisiac, and said to invigorate vata, but it is not reported to have such effects in the Chinese system. Indeed, in the Indian Materia Medica, herbalists are reminded to distinguish the white and black types of musli, one being a variety of asparagus (safed musli) and the other being curculigo (kali musli), both used as aphrodisiacs and considered similar in nature. In the Chinese systems, these two herbs would be contrasted: asparagus for nourishing yin and cooling heat and curculigo for invigorating yang and dispelling cold. The difference between the Ayurvedic and Chinese analysis of asparagus is based on the somewhat unique concept of vata, which is invigorating yet cold.
A therapeutic approach that has become very important in the practice of modern Chinese medicine, vitalizing blood circulation, was first promoted heavily by Wang Qingren, in the early part of the 19th century. While the concept of treating disease by getting rid of blood stasis and promoting circulation was present earlier in the Chinese medical system, it was not particularly emphasized other than for treatment of injuries (including the result of difficult childbirth). During the Jin-Yuan period, when there were four competing schools of thought about the main causes of disease and corresponding methods of treatment, the problems addressed were stomach/spleen deficiency (Li Gao's approach, as mentioned above), yin deficiency, yang deficiency, and fire excess; blood stasis was not among the concerns. Treatment of blood stasis has become a central feature of much of the Chinese herbal research and clinical applications related to chronic disease.
In the practice of Ayurveda, stimulation of blood circulation and treatment of "static blood" does not show up as a major concern of internal medicine, though the ubiquitous massage therapy has the effect of invigorating blood circulation. Unlike the Chinese system, reform work was not carried out in the Ayurvedic field, so the shift seen in the Chinese system to address blood stasis is still not a central concern in the Ayurvedic system. Nonetheless, some of the traditional Ayurvedic herbs that are widely used, such as arjun, myrrh, and turmeric, are categorized by the Chinese as blood-vitalizing herbs and contribute this effect incidentally to what is traditionally described in the medical system.
One of the dominant descriptions of herb properties in both the Chinese and Ayurvedic systems is based on the taste of the herbs. The taste groups are similar in the Ayurvedic and Chinese systems:
Ayurvedic: sweet, sour, salty, pungent (acrid), bitter, and astringent
Chinese: sweet, sour, salty, pungent (acrid), bitter, and bland
The difference is that the Ayurvedic system has shown no interest in bland-tasting herbs, which was a category developed in the Chinese system centuries after the initial five tastes had been the standard, but Ayurvedic medicine has a strong interest in the astringent taste. In Chinese herbal medicine, there is a small group of astringent herbs listed, but their tastes are described as sour or bitter, rarely as astringent. In fact, for most of the practice of Chinese medicine, only two of the astringent herbs are repeatedly used, schizandra and cornus, both being very sour (contributing an astringent action via the puckery sour quality). Only in the case of diarrhea do the Chinese rely on such highly astringent tasting herbs as pomegranate rind (adopted from Indian practice via Sumatra), and this herb is mentioned in Oriental Materia Medica as having an astringent taste.
According to the Ayurvedic approach, the tastes contribute the following effects to herbs:
In order to influence the doshas, one usually combines certain tastes together within a formula, as follows:
Thus, for example, if a patient has agitation of vata, and insufficiency of the kapha and pitta, involving a weak digestive function and stiffness of the joints, the herbalist would combine (or select a formula containing) sweet, sour, and salty agents, with a small amount of pungent taste. Taste is only one of the qualities that herbalists in India rely upon (other qualities include cooling or heating, heavy or light); however, aside from the individual properties and traditional indications of herbs, this aspect is probably the most important.
There are differing opinions about the action of each of the herbs on the doshas. For many herbs, the doshic effects are not formally recorded and can only be implied by an interpretation of the tastes and the symptomatic effects of the herbs. Also, there is some diversity in translating to English the two basic actions of herbs on the doshas: haram (interpreted as reducing, calming, removing, etc.) and karam (interpreted as supporting, supplementing, increasing, etc.). For the presentation here, the following terms for the influence of herbs on the doshas have been selected to have a positive connotation (consistent with the favorable action of the herbs) and to fit the differing characteristics of the individual doshas:
In addition, it may be stated that an herb balances two doshas, or all three doshas. Balancing refers to coordination of their functions so as to produce a healthier condition, or reducing one and increasing another to attain the desired levels. For many herbs, the action on the doshas is not mentioned in their description, possibly because it is not thought that the action of the herb on the doshas is a significant factor in determining how it will be used.
In both the Indian and Chinese traditions, one can describe three basic phases in the historical development of understanding of how herbs contribute to human health. First, there is the ancient period in which herbs have symbolic significance as well as specific therapeutic attributes. The therapeutic attributes were based on observation of nature and interpretation of those observations in terms of relatively simple systems of categorization. This ancient period extended until the development of the investigative techniques associated with modern science. The next period was that of early science, which affected India and China, as well as most of the rest of the world, during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During this period crude analysis of herbs could be carried out, the idea of reporting specific medical cases or collecting many case histories of similar nature arose, and herbal medicines were described in terms of botanical names, constituents, and reported use for diseases defined by modern medicine. The third period, which we are now working within, involves the development of advanced scientific analysis, with the ability to find individual chemical constituents, test them in controlled laboratory experiments, and then attempt the difficult task of validating traditional claims by clinical trials.
In the context of this book, in which traditional medicine is the primary focus, the ancient views are of particular interest. The book Garden of Life (by Naveen Patnaik; 1993 Aquarian Books, New Delhi and London), offers some insights into the traditional concepts and the development of the key Indian herbs as foods, spices, and/or medicines. Here are some quotations for selected herbs:
Ayurvedic herbs are often prescribed in combinations, typically involving 2-8 herbs, though numerous very large formulas are recorded in the ancient texts. Rejuvenating preparations are called rasayanas, corresponding, roughly, to the Chinese concept of restorative formulas that nourish the kidney and liver, replenish the yin, blood, and essence, and tonify the qi. For example, here is the way in which the myrobalans fruits are prescribed as rasayanas in Caraka Samhita:
After the food from the previous meal is completely digested, take one fruit of chebulic myrobalan; before the next meal take two fruits of beleric myrobalan; and just after meals four fruits of emblic myrobalan. All these fruits should be taken with honey or ghee. The rasayana of the three myrobalans (triphala) should be taken for a whole year....Another preparation of triphala rasayana is as follows: take a thin new iron leaf and keep it laved with the paste of the three myrobalans for a whole day and night. Take out the paste the next day and use it with honey and water. When the medicine is digested, one should take such food as is mixed with copious quantity of ghee and milk. From the use of this rasayana for a full year, one becomes free from decrepitude and disease and lives for a hundred years. Another preparation of triphala rasayana is as follows: the three myrobalans should be used with licorice powder or with bamboo manna reduced to powder, or with powder of long pepper, or with honey and ghee, or with sugar [other additions are gold, acorus, rock salt]....If used for a full year, any of these rasayanas would sharpen the understanding and the memory, and infuse strength. It would impart longevity. It is deserving of high praise.
The references to use of honey and ghee have parallels with the Chinese system of formulation. Jujube fruits and honey were long used in the Chinese system as the sticky substrate to produce pills and are credited, along with the tea ingredient maltose (sugar derived from barley grain), with the property of benefiting the digestion as well as making the medicine easier to take. Where the Indians use ghee (clarified butter made by heating it and removing the foam that forms on top and the sediment that settles to the bottom), the Chinese used rice porridge. Both have mucilaginous, protective, and therapy-enhancing effects. The Indian use of ghee may have become standard because this substance is especially protective for the stomach and intestines against the spicy effect of the herbs that are frequently relied on to strengthen the digestive fire. Additionally, the Ayurvedic system strongly emphasizes use of oils: for massage, in enemas, to irrigate the sinuses, and to be consumed in the diet as a means of healing, especially for calming vata (as Svoboda stated: vata is the chief cause of the development of all diseases). The Chinese describe the use of porridge both to protect the stomach against the cold action of certain herb and mineral drugs and also as a means of enhancing the production of qi by the stomach. As mentioned earlier, the Chinese system is particularly partial to sweet-tasting substances (which includes the grains), as a way of tonifying the body. A well-nourished body is able to fend off external wind and also prevent the development of internal wind. In the Ayurvedic system, a well-oiled body is able to accomplish the same.
In modern practice of Ayurvedic medicine, herbs are prepared in tablets or capsules and neither honey nor ghee is usually included. Persons who have sensitive digestive systems might consider consuming a small amount of one or both of these substances, or others that have similar qualities (e.g., milk, yogurt; preferably warmed to room temperature) when utilizing spicy combinations, such as those aimed at invigorating the digestive fire and reducing accumulation of phlegm. As indicated above in the description of a rasayana, even the non-spicy myrobalans fruits were said to be improved by adding honey or ghee. For those who wish to follow this tradition, the method is to use about 1/3 teaspoon of one of these substances with each dose of the modern tableted or encapsulated formulas, such as the famous Triphala. When taken three times daily, the total amount of honey or ghee is one teaspoon, or about 3 grams, a small amount (for those concerned about sugar or fat content). In the Indian texts, taking rice along with herbs is also mentioned; often, the rice is mixed with milk, honey or sugar, and ghee (ordinary butter can be used instead of ghee, which has a much longer shelf life and can be preserved at room temperature). In our own culture, where there is such an excess of sugars and fats, it may seem odd to recommend these things medicinally, but the recommended accompanying diet is dominated by lentils and vegetables, making simple sugars, butter, and milk or yoghurt a welcome addition that has no adverse effects in moderation.
During the past twenty-five years, numerous schools of Chinese medicine have opened in the West, and there has been a vast movement to get this type of medical therapy accepted. Currently, in the U.S., 36 states license, certify, or at least formally allow the practice of acupuncturists as health professionals. Three things made this development possible:
These circumstances have not arisen with Ayurvedic medicine. Although Ayurvedic dietary principles are easily taught through books and classes, these are not interpreted as a medical practice by other medical professions. The main part of Ayurvedic medical practice that is recognized as a medical intervention is herbal prescribing. Herbs are an internal medicine that corresponds somewhat closely to the use of drugs. In fact, most practitioners of herbal medicine, as a means of conveying that their herbs are likely to work, point to the fact that a large percentage of modern drugs are either derived from herbs directly or are synthetic versions of drugs that were originally derived from herbs. Therefore, bringing herbal prescribing to the West as a primary practice, as would be necessary for the Ayurvedic system encounters significant difficulties. There is considerable resistance to it from medical authorities. Acupuncturists added herbal prescribing as a secondary practice after a certain acceptance of acupuncture was already in place.
Although there are a large number of people from India in the U.S., there are no large Indian communities like those found in the Chinatowns. Therefore, there aren't the communities for traditional Ayurvedic doctors to work in. The government of India has shown no interest in promoting the sales of Ayurvedic medicines abroad nor in having foreigners come to India to study Ayurvedic medicine (sufficient numbers of foreigners come to India for other aspects of their culture, but the main Ayurvedic colleges, which are government sponsored, are basically off-limits to foreigners). Increasingly, plants collected for making Ayurvedic medicines are becoming endangered through over collection with lack of adequate cultivation, especially in the mountainous regions.
As a result of these various circumstances, there are very few teachers of Ayurvedic medicine in the U.S., no formal licensing of Ayurvedic practitioners, and only a few small schools that teach this medical tradition (the main one is Dr. Vasant Lad's school in New Mexico). The herbs are imported in relatively small quantities (compared to the amounts of Chinese herbs that are imported) by a few companies, which either market to a small group of health professionals (mainly naturopathic physicians) or direct to the public or both.

Police: The search for missing April remains intenseby Emily Morgan: ITV News Correspondent
Superintendent Ian John, of Dyfed Powys Police, has confirmed the high numbers of police searching for April Jones will remain over the weekend. He said searching will move away from the town of Machynlleth and spread to surrounding areas.
They are covering 60 square kilometres of ground and using Coastguard, RAF and specialist police units.
Supt John went on to say April Jones' parents have been incredibly brave. They visited the police base yesterday to thank staff and the community. He added that he wasn't surprised they visited his teams and they were coping as well as you would expect.
The search, he said, is constantly under review but right now it remains as intense as it has been all week. Because of this, he is certain they will find April at some point.

Ethical objectives
Our ethical objectives are loyalty, respect for fellow men, transparency and refusal of corruption and unfair competition.
Loyalty
Loyalty means mutual trust. ITVT pursues numerous common goals with their customers, employees and distributors.
This happens on the foundation of mutual trust. Trust enhances fair and loyal relations between the stakeholders and this loyalty is one of the fundamentals of our company and our business activities.
Respect for fellow men
The people form the foundation of ITVT. Our company is committed to provide the same possibilities to all equally qualified employees independently of their origin, their belief, their views, their gender, lifestyle or their age. Because respect is inseparably connected with our duty to better living conditions the focus of our company lies especially on the dignity of mankind.
Life in the society always means that every individual, regardless of his relation to us, deserves our respect.
Transparency
For ITVT transparency is more than just a right for usable information: Transparency is a consistent attitude.
We ensure that every employee is informed about his goals, rights and duties as well as important news and events in our company in a clear and comprehensive manner. We expect our employees to work with totally transparent information. We deliver high quality products and services to our costumers and we always try to provide an additional benefit. We offer clear and comprehensive c
ontracts to our distributors and demand the compliance with our ethical objectives.
Sustainability
For ITVT acting responsible first of all means dealing carefully with our resources and thereby treating
environment and climate respectfully. This is why our actions are guided by the thought of sustainability and the principle of energy efficiency. We focus on the environmentally sound use of modern photovoltaic cells in our headquarters, company apartments and our high security facilities.
ITVT will reduce the CO2 emission by launching the photovoltaic construction on top of the ITVT headquarters in the following 20 years (amortization phase) by approx. 500 tons. At the same time 13 households in Höfingen (3.500 KWh per household and year) could be provided with energy completely.
Furthermore a combined heat and power plant has been installed in our headquarters. The company saves more than 7.000 Euro per year on energy costs and provides once again an additional contribution to active environmental conservation.
Refusal of corruption and unfair competition
We outlaw any practices that are not based on trust, integrity and fairness in our international business activities. Corruption and unfair competition don’t add to the creation and the upholding of a long lasting harmonic partnership. All our partners are aware of this principle and are called to distance themselves from any such schemes.

Organizations will be trained to incorporate gender in energy policies
17 February 2013 | Article
From 4th to 7th March the Global Gender Office of the International for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will be developing the Regional Workshop on Gender and Power in Central America. The meeting also involved organizations from Cuba. This effort is conducted jointly with the International Organization ENERGIA and the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE by its Spanish acronym). The event is funded by HIVOS Dutch cooperation.
The activity will take place in Costa Rica and aims to bring together several social stakeholders and representatives of governmental organizations able to influence the energy agenda in Central America.
In Central America, most of the initiatives and processes on reforms to the energy sector have not taken into account gender variables. Unfortunately those cases were gender issues has been addressed, it has been limited to improvements in the "kitchen space" by promoting efficient stoves in the field.
Important issues such as the value of the energy for the generation of economic activities and the different needs of men and women in access to and use of energy services, or the relationship between environmental protection and energy livelihoods have not been part of the lines of discussion in the agendas of political decision makers.
On the other hand, critical issues for developing countries such as poverty, food security and inequity, coupled with lack of access to energy services affects differently men and women. The negative effects of energy shortages and environmental problems are most critical to poor communities and people who depend most directly on natural resources. It is therefore necessary to consider the relationship between gender equality, poverty alleviation, environmental degradation and sustainable development in policy discussions and national energy plans.
The contribution of this workshop is to convene such civil society organizations and representatives of government agencies to enable them to develop or influence on the national and regional energy policies. In turn, they seek to build national networks of gender and energy which Hivos funded and supported by the IUCN manage to develop and implement an advocacy agenda with actions to ensure the inclusion of gender mainstreaming in both regional and national policies and action plans.
By this effort the meeting is expected to be the initial step in creating a network of organizations by country to develop and implement a map of actions to ensure the inclusion of gender mainstreaming in energy policy.
The workshop will open a space for analysis on the relationship between gender and energy. The workshop will involve organizations from Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cuba, Costa Rica and Honduras.

November-December 2003
Solubility Equilibria—in Honor of Heinz Gamsjäger
Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly
Vol 134, No. 5, pp. 619–790, 2003
To honor Professor Heinz Gamsjäger, chairman of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium Data (SSED), on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly published a special issue on “Solubility Equilibria,” edited by Erich Königsberger. The authors of the contributions to this special issue have served for many years on the IUPAC Commission on Solubility Data (now SSED) and edited and contributed to numerous volumes of the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series (SDS).
In the preface to the special issue, Mark Salomon, editor in chief of SDS, gives an overview of Heinz Gamsjäger’s scientific career from 1956, when he was awarded an M.Sc. degree (Dipl.-Ing. Technical Chemistry) by the Technical University Graz, until the present as an emeritus professor of physical chemistry at the University of Leoben, Austria, and chairman of SSED.
Gamsjäger was never one to rest; he was a visiting professor at many foreign universities, and in 1981 he was also an advisor to the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship for Research in Japan. He has served on the editorial board of Monatshefte für Chemie/Chemical Monthly since 1998, and on the editorial board of the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series since 1994. Gamsjäger has also been a major driving force in the IUPAC Solubility Data Project since 1990 serving as Secretary of IUPAC Commission V.8 on Solubility Data from 1994 to 2000, and as Chairman of SSED from 2001 to the present. In his capacity as a member of IUPAC Commission and SSED, Gamsjäger has provided guidance, kind criticism, and friendship to his colleagues on SSED and has been instrumental in coordinating the efforts of over 100 distinguished scientists worldwide who are active in the work of SSED.
The papers published in this special issue of Monatshefte represent contributions from Professor Gamsjäger’s close friends and colleagues on SSED. The scope and creativity of these contributions are a tribute to his influence and interaction with his colleagues. The scientific topics cover a variety of solubility phenomena, including general aspects of gas-liquid solubilities (P. G. T. Fogg), gas-liquid and liquid-liquid solubilities of chloromethanes in water (H. L. Clever), and mutual water-hydrocarbon solubilities (A. Maczynski et al.). Solid-liquid solubility studies include double salt formation in ternary transition metal-alkali metal halide systems (Chr. Balarew and S. Tepavitcharova), solubilities in ternary aqueous systems involving Cu(II) (L. V. Chernykh et al.) and magnesium salts (F. Bousmina et al.), the crystallisation and phase stability of calcium sulfate based salts (D. Freyer and W. Voigt), and a new evaluation of the solubility constants of the three calcium carbonate polymorphs (A. De Visscher and J. Vanderdeelen). Other reviews deal with solubilities in mixed solvents of silver halides (W. E. Waghorne) and alkali metal fluorides (G. Senanayake and G. Hefter) and with solubility phenomena in ternary water-salt systems under sub- and supercritical conditions (V. Valyashko and M. Urusova). Solid-liquid solubilities also extend to lanthanide chlorides in molten alkali metal chlorides (M. Gaune-Escard and L. Rycerz), environmental aspects of Pb(II) arsenate stabilities (M. C. F. Magalhães and M. C. M. Silva), and an application of solubility measurements to medicine (G. Sadovska et al.).

I'm not a great one for history. I'm not a great one for the whole 'spa experience' thing. And I baulked at the £12 admission. But my fiancee wanted to have a look round and we'd got a discount ticket as part of the city bus tour. Having done the tour, I would have gladly handed over double the admission for the enormous privilege of viewing what the curators of this truly marvelous exhibit have thus far unearthed. The experience was immeasurably beyond my expectations. We spent an absorbing three hours looking around the fabulously presented ancient Roman baths. Technical wizardry allows you to see the ruins as they really were, projected right onto the remains as they are now; complete with spectral, be-toga'd Romans wandering about the place taking the waters. The museum side of things is like none I've been to before and recorded tour guides are available pitched at brainy history-fanatical adults, less demanding but keen to know adults, and children alike. A revelatory visit, and one which I have already recommended to friends and family, and await a return visit myself, with eager anticipation. An absolute joy! Go there now, and don't forget to taste the sulphurous waters themselves on the way out through the Pump House!

Walking around the city of Bath is a pleasure for the sight. The only World Heritage city in the UK, the architecture and the beautiful surroundings are one of a kind. And if architecture is what you're craving, don't miss the Royal Crescent or (more importantly) the Abbey. Lose yourself in the awe of its Perpendicular Gothic style and bathe in the colored light of the impressive stained-glass windows. If you're lucky, you can attend the choir's rehearsal. Heavenly music for a heavenly place (and I'm agnostic).
Nearby you will find the Roman Baths. Worth a visit, one of the best museums I've ever seen. But if bathing is what you want, then go to the Spa. A bit too expensive for the amount of services you can get, but you'll gain access to the impressive rooftop pool. Be sure to go at night and enjoy the breathtaking views of Bath, the illuminated Abbey, the moon shining upon you and the cold rain falling on your head while your body stays comfortably warm in the water.
If you're up for it, you can catch a bus to Stonehenge near the Abbey and Puteney Bridge (check that out as well). Now, as much as I'm fascinated by the history and the mistery behind this Neolithic monument, the visit there is not pleasant. The place is cold and chilly and the only thing to do is walk around the stones at a distance while listening to an audio-guide. What makes this visit particularly unenjoyable is the fact that such an important monument is placed right next to a couple of roads. The brochure promises that plans are being made to divert the road and solve the problem. I really hope they do, for the sake of future visitors. After grabbing a hot chocolate from the coffee shop, the bus takes you back to good ol' Bath in an hour. Enjoy the beautiful views of the countryside in the meantime.
Get lost in the streets of Bath, admire the century-old buildings around you and have a cup of tea inside St Michael's church while the organist is rehearsing. This lovely little city will leave an impression on you that time won't be able to fade.

One of the city's oldest restaurants enthusiastically recommended by the owner of the guesthouse we stayed at. What a treat! A beautiful Georgian townhouse with a wonderful ambience. The food is modern British and delicious. All the food is freshly prepared and locally sourced and the waiting staff are gracious and knowledgeable. They told us all the best places to visit and where we could buy some of the cheeses from their magnificent cheese board.
We loved this special place.

There's plenty to keep you occupied on a day trip to Bath. You might well take in a visit to the Assembly Rooms and its Museum of Costume. But if your visit coincides with certain Sunday afternoons, you have the opportunity be the most atmospheric dance venue in England. The next dances are on 13th September and 11th October.

MOUNT PLEASANT – Iowa Wesleyan College played well for spurts but was done in by a lack of offense against Grand View University in losing women’s and men’s soccer matches to the Vikings Wednesday afternoon at East Lake Park.
The Tiger women fought hard but succumbed to Grand View 3-0 in the first match of the Midwest Collegiate Conference doubleheader. The IWC men then played well for a half before the nationally ranked Vikings rolled to a 7-0 win to complete the sweep.
Grand View scored twice in the first half of the women’s match and then added its final goal just over a minute into the second half. The Tigers played even on the scoreboard the rest of the way as Cara Arnold (Jr.-Stillman Valley, Ill.) made five of her six saves in the second half, but were able to generate just one shot in the match.
Mackenzie McAdaragh, Meghan McCoy and Emily Hays all scored goals for the visitors, who owned a 21-1 advantage in shots. IWC dropped to 1-13-1 overall (0-6 MCC), while Grand View improved to 5-7-1 overall, 4-2 in conference play.
The men’s match saw the Tigers play to a draw for 30 minutes against a GVU team ranked 20th in the most recent NAIA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll. Wesleyan still trailed just 1-0 after 60 minutes of play, but the Vikings would dominate the rest of the match, scoring six goals the rest of the way, including three in a span of 4 1/2 minutes.
Grand View played with the wind in the first half and got its first goal from Noah Acosta at the 30:25 mark. The score would remain that way until halftime and into the second half, but IWC was unable to take advantage of the wind in the final 45 minutes.
The Tigers were unable to get off a shot in the second half. The Vikings eventually broke through with their second goal coming in the 61st minute from Noel Medina. GVU added two more goals in the next 4:29, and tallied three more times after that to win going away.
Troy Osborne (Jr.-Sydney, Australia) made five saves in goal for the Tigers, who dropped to 2-10-1 overall, 0-5-1 in the MCC. Grand View improved to 12-1 overall, 5-1 in conference.
Iowa Wesleyan’s soccer teams will be home again on Saturday to face Ashford University in a pair of conference matches at East Lake Park. The men’s match will be played first and begin at 1 p.m., with the women’s match to follow at 3 p.m.
Women's GVU 3 IWC 0
Men's #20 GVU 7 IWC 0

The Brief Self-Portrait
>:
Another life, some things were right, but I left because love had run out.
I know longer seek to be the mean I was but the human with you I missed being.
metatron
the minute details are everything and nothing.
sigh. insatiable.
Sometimes life shocks me. There's so much sadness.
Also? You glow from within.
(and you shed emoti-thingies like skin cells...)
ahh do your eyes change colours? this reminds me of so many things. good times :)
y6tujiy7i
your eyes change colour and your hair changes colour...anymor?
I have eyes that are attuned to everything and yet seem to focus only on you.
My legs are shaved in the hopes that the next time they graze yours, you'll place your hand on my lap.
I don't have dark rings. But many a night have i cried myself to sleep because of you.
I used to let my hair fall over my face. Now i tie it up so that you'll actually notice when i'm around.
My smile is the kind that exposes my set of yellowish dinosaur fangs. And i hope you find that charming in a twisted way. Cz i can't stop smiling when i see you.
But of course i don't fit the frame. And i would never fit the frame.
Of your perfect girl, that is.
Every word you write penetrates.
Somehow with the simplest of thoughts it tears up the insides.
It's incredible.
Wow, I feel like this was written word for word about me. This is amazing and the mood that I'm in as reading it just makes it all the more insane to comprehend fully right now.
This is my favorite.
you look just like I remember.

Exercise Tips
- The most common mistake that is made in most gyms is that people try to lift more weight than they are capable of and this usually results in poor mechanics when lifting, leading to injury. With any new exercise start with lighter weights then you think you should be lifting so that you can master the form first, and then slowly increase. Use mirrors to keep an eye on making sure your back is staying straight and you are using the right muscles to lift. When lifting with your arms your back should be saying straight and strong with your core engaged. When lifting with your legs you should not be rounding your lower back as this can result in disc herniation of the lumbar spine. If you are trying a new machine always read the instructions first to ensure you are using it properly. Finally, all strengthening should be done in a slow and controlled manner, a good guideline is you should be lifting for a 1-2 second interval and then returning to the start position in a 2-4 second interval. If you lift with good form and with slow and controlled mechanics you will not need heavy weights to get a good workout.
- When starting a new exercise program or trying to lose weight always remembers that it is a long process. One major reason why exercise programs fail so often is because people try and “lose all their weight at once” by going too hard for the first week. Frequently this results in injury, extreme soreness, or a feeling that it is impossible to keep with the routine because it is too demanding. Instead, start slow with exercise and work into bigger things. If you have never done an hour of cardio before, begin with 20 minutes of cycling instead of starting with a spin class. A good rule of thumb is that if muscle soreness last for longer than 2 days after an intense workout you are pushing too hard and should decrease the weight and or reps. Another good rule to follow is the 10% rule, meaning that you should not increase the amount of weight you are using by more than 10% at a time to prevent any injury. This rule also holds true with increasing the distance you are running, cycling or swimming and is the easiest way to drastically decrease your chances of being injured while trying to get back into shape. Moderation is the key early on in a workout program and rest is as important as working out when trying to get stronger, lose weight, or improve your fitness. A good workout plan should consist of 4-5 days a week of exercise and at least 2 rest days which are spread out intermittently throughout the week. This gives your body time to recover and your muscles time to grow so that you do not experience any overuse injuries from working out.
- Two of the most improperly performed exercises that people perform in the gym are squats and lunges. When performing a squat you should have your feet slightly wider than your hips width apart, and your knees should never go past your toes. Furthermore you should have your back straight and your weight should be firmly through your mid foot and not on your heels. When trying to squat, begin without weights and in front of a mirror to perfect your form. As you squat you should pretend like you are trying to sit into a chair that is about 1 foot away from where you are standing. Another easy trick is to stand with your toes touching a wall or a board and during each squat your knees should not come into contact with the wall. If you find yourself falling over backward or leaning on your heels as you squat, take a light weight and hold it out in front of you to help counter balance your body as you squat down. Finally, keep your back straight and your eyes looking directly in front of you with your chest up while you squat down. Squatting is foundational movement for any sport including running and having good form with squats can severely decrease your chances of suffering an injury such as an ACL tear or ankle sprain. The most common mistake seen with lunges is that the front knee is pushed forward out past the foot which can cause patella tendonitis, or patella-femoral pain syndrome due to the excessive stress being placed on the knee cap and patella tendon. To correct this, take a slightly larger step forward when lunging and focus on trying to touch your back knee to the ground rather than bending your front knee forward. By doing this you will keep your weight spread evenly on both legs instead of accidently driving too far forward and causing your front knee to go past your front toe.
- When trying to decide which cardio machines are best for you please consider the following; If you are experiencing arthritis in your knees, hips, back or ankles you should try to engage in cardio without any plyometric component including cycling, or an elliptical machine. These machines take the pressure and force off of your legs and help to strength without over taxing the joints. If you have osteoporosis you are looking for cardio that will stimulate bone growth and this will require light plyometric activity such as walking, step aerobics, jumping jacks or light jump rope. If you are experiencing joint pain and do not feel comfortable with cycling or an elliptical then swimming can be a great workout, or even walking in a pool to help build muscle while taking pressure off of the joints. Unless you have run before, it is not advised to begin with running on a treadmill or outside due to the amount of force it can place on your muscles and joints. A walking program that includes hills can be as beneficial as running can be and is a great way to ease into aerobic activity.
- If you are trying to start running follow a program such as “Couch to 5k” that will lay out an easy week by week progression to get you to running the distance you would like. It can be dangerous to jump right in and try and run as far as you can without stopping your first time. When beginning to run make sure that you start at a slow jogging pace. If you were to rate how hard you are exerting yourself from 1-10 a 6 would be where you want to be. You should be able to jog and speak without difficulty when you first begin to ensure that you are not pushing yourself too hard too soon. One great tool for new runners is a heart rate monitor. These can be purchased at any sporting goods store or online and will give you immediate feedback on how high your heart rate is so that you can make sure you aren’t over exerting yourself. When using heart rate to monitor your exertion, simply subtract your age from 220 and then try to stay within a range of 60% – 80% of that number. This will ensure that you do not “crash” before you are finished with your run. It is also important to remember the FIT principle. This means that you should only increase either your frequency, intensity, or time but not all at once. If you begin with 10 minute runs 3 times a week at a light jog pace, you should not increase the next week to 20 minutes runs 5 times a week at a moderate pace. Following the FIT principle will go a long way in preventing any overuse injuries, tendonitis, and decreasing muscle soreness.
- One of the most important parts of physical therapy is transitioning to a home exercise program at the end of your treatment. Once you are finished with therapy it is important to keep up with the exercises prescribed to you by the physical therapist for the required amount of days a week. Many patients make the mistake of trying to exercise at home and frequently this will result in patients falling off of the wagon and re-injuring themselves because they become busy with other things. One easy way to combat this is use the time you would have spent at physical therapy and join a gym to go to during that time slot in your day. By doing this you will be more likely to stay with your program because you will be exercising in a place outside your home with less distraction. Also, it is important when transitioning out of physical therapy to not repeat the same bad habits that landed you in physical therapy in the first place. If you injured yourself working out previously then be sure to either avoid the exercise you were doing previously, decrease your weight/reps, or focus on proper form to ensure you do not get injured again. Finally, remember to apply the same philosophy that was used in therapy to your lifting at home. If you are feeling sore or discomfort then do not increase the amount of weight you are using, and try to slowly progress yourself into harder/heavier resistance exercises. Ideally you will want to get your exercises done at home at least 3 times a week after therapy is over to make sure that your strength and ROM continue to improve and to decrease any risk of injury. Finally, do not be afraid to contact you therapist at any time if you have any questions or are unsure of anything. A simple e-mail can save you from a trip back to the therapist later because of an injury, just because you are discharged does not mean you are not allowed to contact your therapist with a question.
- A commonly overlooked area of strengthening in athletes and weekend warriors alike is the hips. Your hip muscles act to not only stabilize your pelvis and core, but also keep your knees stable and properly aligned beneath you. Lack of hip strength can lead to anything from a sports hernia, to an ACL tear, to a sprained ankle or patella femoral syndrome. The most common part of the hip that lacks strength is the gluteus medius followed closely by the hip rotators. The Gluteus medius controls abduction, or moving your leg out to the side, and is very important in keeping both the hip and knee joint stable. A simple way to test how much gluteus medius strength you have is to step off of a box or a step while looking in the mirror. If the knee of your weight bearing leg moves inward toward your other leg as you step down then you are weak in your gluteus medius. To strengthen this muscle you can do a variety of exercises including lying on your side and raising your leg upwards, lateral walks with a theraband which you stand in a slightly squatted position and slowly walk sideways in each direction, clamshells in which your lie on your side and rotate your knees apart while keeping your feet together, or lateral lunges. By strengthening the gluteus medius you will build a strong foundation for the rest of your legs and help to decrease your chances of injury greatly. Another great exercise for both your hips and your core are planks. Performing planks and side planks will greatly help to improve your stability during activity and strengthen all the muscles that stabilize your entire body which will make you stronger during athletics.
- Instead of following a traditional stretching program before running or activity try using a dynamic stretching routine. Traditional “static” stretching has been shown in recent research to be an ineffective way to properly warm up and stretching a “cold” muscle can actually result in a higher chance of injury. On the contrary, dynamic stretching routines have been proven to reduce the chances of sprains and strains as well as improve efficiency during sport specific activity. The principle behind a dynamic stretching routine is to activate the muscles that will be used during the activity, as well as lengthen the muscle tissue to its optimal length for sport specific activity. Even better, a dynamic stretching routine takes much less time to complete and is much easier to fit in before playing or running. So next time you head out on the field try this routine instead of your usual stretching routine:LEG LIFTS
Swing one leg out to the side and.
HACKY-SACK
Lift your left leg up, bending the knee so it points out. Try to tap the inside of your left foot with your right hand without bending forward. Repeat 10 times on each side.
TOY SOLDIER
Keep your back and knees straight, walk forward, lifting your legs straight out in front and flexing your toes. Do 10 reps on each side.
WALKING LUNGES
Step forward using a long stride, keeping the front knee over or just behind your toes. Lower your body by dropping your back knee toward the ground. Maintain an upright posture and keep your abdominal muscles tight. Do 5 reps on each side.
- When talking about managing injuries or acute pain the golden rule is RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. If you suffer an injury whether it be during a sport, work, an accident or any other manner these 4 principles should be applied immediately. If you injure yourself during a sport try to get ice on the injured area immediately. When icing you should have 1 small layer (such as a paper towel) between the site of the injury and the ice and you should not ice for any longer than 15 minutes at a time with at least a 15-30 minute break in between ice sessions. Next, you should attempt to apply compression, especially if there is swelling present in the area. An ace wrap or compression garment works great, but be careful that they aren’t wrapped too tight. When wrapping an ace wrap you should apply slightly more compression at the bottom part of the wrap than the top so that swelling does not pool further away from the injury site. If you see any discoloration or feel tingling or numbness in the area further away from the ace wrap then immediately remove it as it may be cutting of circulation or causing further damage. Finally, elevating the area of injury is extremely important and will help to improve drainage of swelling from the area. When elevating, always make sure the injury site is elevated ABOVE the level of the heart for maximum benefit. This means that when elevating your leg you should be laying down for the maximum benefit. Last but not least it is very important to rest when injured. If you are having pain you should rest the area for at least 1-2 days prior to trying to return to activity, and when you do return remember to START SLOWLY so that you do not immediately re-injure the area. A short amount of rest immediately following the injury will usually prevent you from being side lined for weeks after the injury. Finally, if the pain, swelling and lack of mobility persist for longer than 2-3 days without seeing any improvement; be sure to consult your physician for further examination of the area.
- When training for a long distance race such as a half marathon, marathon or a triathlon it is important to make sure that you do not suffer any injury leading up to the race. To prevent this from happening make sure you are following a well laid out program that does not increase your distance too much too soon. Another great way to prepare for a race is to join a local running club or a training group. Not only will this help to decrease your chances of injury, but it will also help you stay with your training program as well. Remember when training that your rest days are as important as your running days, and that you will need this recovery as your mileage increases throughout the program to avoid over use injury. Secondly, make sure that you are fueling your body properly during long runs. Energy gels/bars are great for replenishing carbohydrates while on a run, and water or a sport drink is a must while training for distances longer than 6-7 miles to prevent dehydration and serious injury. When training for a distance such as a marathon it is important to note any pain or discomfort you are feeling while running. If you are experiencing any pain other than general muscle soreness it is important to take into account when the pain begins during your run, where it is, and if it goes away or gets worse during the run. All of these things will help to lead you to a better conclusion about what is wrong. If you are experiencing pain that worsens while running or after running and alters your running form in any way, you should stop your training program and consult an orthopedic doctor to make sure that it is treated as you can cause further injury or discomfort. It is important to try and take care of these injuries when they first start because they will go away much quicker than if you let them linger. By taking care of them quickly you will not lose a lot of training time, and will not be sidelined come race day.

Entertainment
BEFFTA comes to Jamaica - British awards show to be held in July
Howard Campbell
Monday, February 11, 2013
BRITAIN'S Black Entertainment Fashion Film Television and Arts (BEFFTA) awards will have a Jamaican leg as part of its fifth- anniversary celebrations.
Verona White, international manager for BEFFTA, says the Jamaican ceremony is planned for July 28, at a yet-to-be decided venue.
The main ceremony takes place in London on October 26, during Black History Month in Britain.
White told the Jamaica Observer that it is the second occasion that the BEFFTA will stage a smaller event outside of London. The first was held in Atlanta, Georgia in 2011.
"It's going to have a similar format to the one in the United Kingdom but there's a bit of tweaking to suit the country it's held in," she said. "For example, we'd have a Best Soca category because it's been held in the Caribbean."
The Stone Love sound system, which observed its 40th anniversary last year, will receive the Best Entertainment Award.
Singer Freddie McGregor, who celebrated his 50th year in the music business in 2012, is being recognised with the Excellence Award.
Conceived by Kenya-born Pauline Long, the BEFFTAs were first held in 2009 at the Hilton Hotel in London. It awards and honours persons of colour who excelled in the previous year or contributed significantly in their field.
Winners of the various categories are selected by online voting while a committee chooses the honorees who have included Trinidad-born broadcaster Sir Trevor McDonald.
White, born in the British Midlands to Jamaican parents, says the BEFFTAs have grown since its inaugural show which attracted 800 persons.
Over 4,000 attended the 2012 event at the Hippodrome in L

The Right Study Conditions
While I was at the beach this morning I wrote a post on my personal blog about the importance of getting away from your computer and office to get work done. I figured I would write a bit here on Japanese Words about how important it is to do the same thing when you are studying.
When I was a college student, I spent a lot of my time studying near a computer or studying while I listened to music. While this is something that most of us do, it isn’t actually very effective. The problem is that it is difficult to focus and easy to get distracted. Most of us will look up when we hear an e-mail hitting the inbox. Or start singing our favorite song if it comes on.
Learning Japanese isn’t just about the amount of time you spend studying, it is also about the quality of that time. Find yourself a nice quite spot where you won’t be bothered and can really focus. You will be able to learn much quicker.
Also, remember to take small breaks. If you study for too long without breaks your concentration and ability to learn weakens. Small breaks aren’t a waste of time, but a method to keep you studying strong.

In September, a major update of Apple’s iOS software for iPhones and iPads (iOS6) replaced the devices’ long-standing Google Maps application with Apple’s self-made Maps service. However, the new app soon caused outrage among iDevice users around the world due to the low quality of the maps..
Also, instead of important destinations such as train stations and airports being clearly marked, preference has been given to restaurants and shops (including mislabelling the Gunma Prefecture Government Office as a restaurant), and navigation using public transportation — something that is essential in Tokyo’s complicated rail network — is not available.
Internationally, problems such as these prompted Apple CEO Tim Cook to issue a rare apology 10 days after the release the app, and Apple’s App Store introduced a “recommended maps” section. For English speakers, Cook recommended three apps (Waze, MapQuest and Bing) and two websites (Nokia Maps and Google Maps) as alternatives while Apple are improving Maps. All five solutions are free, though there are also paid apps competitive with what Apple Maps is trying to do.
Cook’s apology was translated into Japanese and —as most of the originally suggested apps did not support Japan and/or Japanese — the Japanese apology suggested five different apps. All five are apps by Japanese companies: Two are free (Chizu Mapion and Yahoo! Loco) but the other three are paid apps (MapFan for iPhone, Itsumo Navi and Navitime), which have more features, such as turn-by-turn navigation — both Yahoo! Japan and Mapion boasted on their official blogs how accurate and useful their apps are by displaying them side-by-side with Apple’s Maps.
It’s good that Apple has recommended Japanese apps, because most U.S. map apps do not support Japan very well. But the problem is that all five of those apps are only offered in Japanese, which is of little use to non-Japanese users living in Japan.
Some alternatives include using Google Maps on the Safari browser, which despite not being recommended in the Japanese announcement works well for Japan. But if you want the slickness of a native app, there is a Japanese app called “Itsumo Navi Japan Map,” which supports English place names. The app is made for for non-Japanese in Japan, and it is offered by Zenrin, which also provides map data to Google and others.
The English place names in “Itsumo Navi Japan Map” are, like Apple’s, rather sparse, but the map and landmarks are, at least, accurate. And switching to Japanese mode shows many more places, which may help when asking others on the street. The app usually costs ¥1,000 but is free until the end of October, which I initially thought was Zenrin targeting Apple’s failure, but it actually turns out to have been free for a couple of months now. It might be good to grab the app while it is free as it does not have navigation or keyword-search — so I am not sure if is worth its regular price.
People tend to connect Apple’s Maps failure with the fact that Steve Jobs is no longer in charge of things, so Apple’s attention to detail is slipping. But it’s worth remembering that Google Maps, which came late to Japan, was also initially criticized as being too U.S.-centric, but it slowly improved its Japanese maps over the years and has become one of the most trusted digital maps in Japan — even over Yahoo! Japan’s map services, which led the market for many years.
If Apple does not want to cooperate with Google because of the Android rivalry, how about it shakes hands with Yahoo! Japan? Or why not purchase one of the Japanese map companies who make the apps Apple recommends. Apple has purchased map companies overseas in the past. By not checking the quality of its maps in Japan before the rollout of the app, Apple can be blamed for making light of the Japanese market.
Apple likes to keep its products on a global (i.e., U.S.) model and avoids customizing them with locally popular features such as 1-seg TV or osaifu-ketai (mobile payment system) in Japan, and that has often worked well for it costwise. But for essential smartphone software such as maps, I hope Apple will work hard on good localization, like Google did.

From Jambands.com:
4 x 3 EP - The Waz Paul L. Pearson 2001-12-19 self-released
Bridging the gap between the dance floor and groove-oriented funky jazz, the Waz even has fans in TV's New Jersey mafia. Is the "4 x 3" EP an offer you can't refuse? Likely. Based out of Buffalo, NY, the brainchild of David Wasik is up and running strong with its third release. Touting a full sound described by the band as "ethno- fusion, funk, soul and acid jazz", the Waz brings a mixture that is both pleasing and upbeat, with just a hint of psychedelia. It's cool enough that Dominic Chianese - who plays Junior Soprano on HBO's "The Sopranos" - joined the Waz on stage at the Knitting Factory in August. This four-song EP is a tasty teaser for what promises to be a good full-length release. While only recorded as a three piece, the Waz is currently playing as a five piece with guitarist Matt Bush adding color, and Eric Storms DJing. A unique CD case design that boasts the use of cardboard material over plastic, however, does seem to detract from the overall professionalism of the package -- while functional and environmentally friendly, it simply looks cheap.
What isn't cheap, however, is the musicianship. Wasik and upright bassist Edgar Henderson lay down a solid tight pocket, driving the jazzy bus and allowing frontman Eric Crittenden free melodic reign on keys and saxophone. It is the funk-laden keys that really define the sound of Booty, with the sax wailing appropriately. Crittenden adds some spoken/sung vocals to T-Lo, which features a bit more soulful funk groove and a nice sax break. So Su Di is purely jazz with Henderson's exquisite walking under Crittendon's piano. Le Crunge is another key-driven funk jam that gets a bit spacey and extends past five minutes over Wasik's jazz rhythm. These songs are fit for live performances in sweaty, smoky jazz clubs with room for improvisation, but will leave more mainstream listeners wondering what exactly is going on.
It's difficult for me to classify this EP by anything other than its main influences --funky jazz. I don't know if it's clearly distinguishable from other bands like MMW, which it most resembles. However, that doesn't take anything away from it on the enjoyability side. The musicianship is clearly excellent. If you like it funky, jazzy and groovy -- then check this one out.
From The Buffalo News Gusto Section:
The weather By TONI RUBERTO Buffalo NEWS STAFF 1/4/2002
Everyone will have a story to share about the recent "snowfall." Here's a musical one. THE WAZ was one of the many bands that had concerts snowed under by the inclement weather. But last Friday, after a few days stuck in the house, the musicians decided enough was enough.
Drummer David Wasik had been shoveling snow for days knowing he'd have to get out by Friday for a gig in Milestone's in Rochester. "Little did I know how much snow there was going to be and that there would be a travel ban accompanying the amount of snow that had fallen," Wasik said. "By the time Friday rolled along, I had serious cabin fever. I just wanted to bust out and play."
Learning that Route 104 was open in Lockport - a road that led straight to Rochester - the group hit the highway and were greeted by about 200 fans. "It was such a great feeling to make that gig, and people really embraced us that night," a grateful Wasik said.
From Musictoday.com:
The Waz - 4 x 3 EP (WAZ Records)
Drummer David "The Waz" Wasik defines his musical vision for the group that bears his name like this: "ethno- fusion, funk, soul, and acid jazz." He forgot to mention Latin and rock. 4 x 3 EP, the group's newest release, contains a little bit of everything in its quest to unite the worlds of jazz and jam band music.
4 x 3 begins in fine acid jazz form with "Booty," a song that rides on an Edgar Henderson bass line and bursts with energy. "T-Lo" comes next, showing off a tightly hewn unit-keys grinding, bass bumping, drums slinging triplets like a Waffle House waitress dishing out hash browns (smothered and covered, of course). Although "T-Lo" is a bit cheesy ("This song is dedicated to all the fine Scorpios"), the Waz knows how to swing and saxophonist/keyboardist Eric Crittenden is not a bad singer at all. The trio's Latin streak comes out of the closet in "So Su Di," a freight train of a song that features Wasik's most versatile and impressive percussion work; the track bounces from a supremely polyrhythmic semi-salsa assault to a brief excursion into the deepest realms of bebop jazz and then quickly into a straight jam that lasts all of four measures. The EP's most interesting cut, however, is "Le Crunge," an organ-funk take on Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge" (Houses Of The Holy). Wasik's stutter-step drumming, Crittenden's aggressive keyboard chops, and the all-out fusion break compensate adequately for those Zep fans who miss Robert Plant's croaked "Has anybody seen the bridge?"
As a matter of fact, I've seen the bridge-the bridge between jazz and rock, that is. This is not to say that the connection hasn't been made before (Miles Davis ring a bell?), but David Wasik and the Waz have entertainingly erected another means of travel, albeit a short one, between these two oft-connected worlds with 4 x 3 EP. Although the group has two CDs out under its name (1999's Melodic-Hypnotic and 2000's Organigalactic), both striving toward the same amalgamated final product, this release marks a considerable step up for this eclectic outfit, at least in terms of sound quality and clarity of vision. Be prepared when the Waz drops its next full-length: on the road to reaching their ultimate musical quest, the fellas may even offer up a cover of Britney or Christina. You just never know.
by Paul Rosner ###
Thanks and we wish for all of your dreams to come true this year! And if you haven't done so yet, order a copy of 4x3 EP today from today!
The Was Wishes You Well... David, Eric, Edgar, and Michael

(ARA) – some extra effort,” says Dr. Charles Zugerman, a practicing dermatologist and associate professor of clinical dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “Taking a few simple steps each day will help skin look and feel great no matter the season.”
Zugerman offers these tips for keeping skin healthy and beautiful when the temperatures take a dip:
1. Continue to wear sunscreen
Don’t store away the sunscreen – protecting skin from harsh UVA and UVB rays is important all year long. The sun can be particularly intense when it reflects off ice and snow on a clear and cold day. Apply a broad spectrum sunscreen to the face every day, and don’t forget the hands as they need protection too.
2. Keep lips moisturized
When the weather turns dry and cool, it’s not uncommon for lips to become chapped and cracked. Forgo the pain with a proactive approach of keeping lips deeply moisturized from the start. Throughout the day, continually apply a super-hydrating balm like Blistex Moisture Melt. It contains dissolving softbeads of shea butter and aloe which melt into lips for a long-lasting moisture boost. The formula also includes SPF 15 to protect lips from the sun.
3. Moisturize right for the season
When the temperature drops, it’s a signal to change up your daily moisturizer. You might consider switching from a regular lotion to one that includes medication for dry skin, or a thicker formula such as a cream or butter. Avoid extremely hot showers and baths as they can zap skin of moisture. When you do indulge, keep hot showers or baths short and moisturize immediately afterward.
4. Exfoliate your face weekly
Because skin can become dried out so easily during cool months, dead skin cells can build up and clog pores. To avoid winter breakouts and keep skin clean and blemish-free, it’s wise to exfoliate your face once or twice a week. A gentle exfoliating cleanser helps remove the buildup of oil and dead cells to help reveal fresh, healthy skin.
5. Keep H2O top-of-mind
Keeping skin hydrated goes beyond lotion and moisturizers. It starts from the inside by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Whether you’re enjoying a refreshing ice water or pouring yourself a cup of warm tea, make it your goal to drink water morning, noon and night.
“By making small changes to your daily routine, such as applying a medicated lotion after a shower, drinking plenty of water and using Blistex Moisture Melt, your skin will be healthy and feel wonderful during even the coldest seasons,” says Zugerman.
Blistex Moisture Melt is the perfect way to soothe dry lips when cold weather arrives. For more information on Blistex and other lip care tips, visit.

NOTE: this information has been updated from this original request.
This JSR is being submitted and endorsed by the following
Java Community Process Participants:
Section 2: Request
This JSR is to develop the JavaTM APIs for Integrated Networks (JAIN)
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It will describe the Java API for call control
in the Telecommunications and Internet industry.
SIP is an IETF standard protocol for IP-communication, enabling IP-Telephony gateways,
client endpoints, PBXs and other communication systems or devices to communicate with
each other. SIP mainly addresses the call setup and tear down mechanisms of
sessions and is independent of the transmission of media streams between caller
and callee.
The JAIN SIP Specification is targeted towards telephony over Internet
Protocol (IP) networks.
The JAIN SIP Specification defines an API which allows for the rapid creation
and deployment of dynamic telephony services into a Java telephony platform.
Telephony applications require costly resources to develop, test, and deploy.
A JAIN SIP component can be rapidly developed, tested, and integrated on a
variety of platforms with access to numerous tools and utilities. A JAIN
cross-platform solution gives the Carriers, Service Providers, and Network
Equipment Providers a consistent, open environment to develop and deploy
portable telephony services.
The API specified by the JAIN Protocol Expert Group Java Community Process
Participants for SIP are based on the RFC 2543 Session Initiation Protocol
published by Internet Engineering Task Force. The JAIN SIP API specification
abstracts a functional definition into the variant protocol stacks.
The JAIN SIP API will leverage the Java Beans Event model. The protocol
stack vendor supplies the JAIN SIP 'provider' interface into the protocol stack.
JAIN SIP 'listeners' may readily be rolled onto the platform by an object manager.
Proprietary stack features are hidden behind a Factory (a standard design pattern).
Through a combination of common JAIN and JAIN SIP interfaces, a protocol stack
provider is obtained to which JAIN SIP listeners can then register.
The JAIN SIP Specification is based on contributions made by the JAIN JSPA.
While JAIN SIP will adapt well to, and interwork with, other protocols such as
H.323 and MGCP, its initial purpose is to provide a ubiquitous, standard interface
into SIP protocol stacks.
A JAIN SIP application can be written as a program, applet, servlet, or bean.
The JAIN SIP API encapsulates the functions of the differing versions of the
SIP protocol with a standardized Java interface, so that call-processing and
session initiations are readily available within the network.
While no dependency on Java visual tools for constructing JAIN SIP components
is assumed, the use of a Java Bean Manager and/or visual Java bean builder
can be a significant aid in the development, integration, testing, and
deployment of communication service over packet network that employs
JAIN SIP components.
Package names being considered are:
None.
None. JAIN SIP expects to utilize standard JDK security.
Because JAIN SIP is based on IETF specifications, the API
can be readily adapted to all markets.
Since JAIN SIP is based on IETF specifications, the SIP API
can be readily adapted to any North American market protocol stacks.
JAIN SIP moves Java into carrier grade service. The telecommunications
industry imposes stringent performance and failure requirements on hardware
and software platforms. Risks include failure of the Java platform due to
poor performance or the inability to fail-over or recover. Performance
evaluation and tests based on API architecture will be published with
each release of the API. Fail-over will be measured and published based
on latency to recover to a like platform and recover state data through
JDBC interfaces or Transaction based tools.

Jeffrey Campbell Hot Stuff Booties
Jeffrey Campbell Hot Stuff Platform Booties
I am of the opinion that any Jeffrey Campbell booties make you look like Hot Stuff so the Hot Stuff Booties name just seems kind of redundant. Redundant but awesome. You can scroll down for ideas on what to wear with the Hotstuff platforms. Hotstuff is now on SALE!
Get the JC Hot Stuff on SALE $148
More Sizes in the Hot Stuff Booties – whole and half sizes available 6.5-10
With buckles, and wraps, this strappy shoe is tough and solid. The JC HotStuff booties have a pretty dark wood front platform and conical heels. Not just any platform, this one has seriously cool cutout indented detailing in the front making it look extra fierce. The platform follows the shape of the black leather pointy toe bootie. With a strappy military inspired look, these ankle boots command attention.
One of my favorite styling features of the JC Hot Stuff Booties is that the leather straps wrap around the soles of the shoes rather than just stopping at the soles. It makes them look really interesting and somehow more organic and cool. Is that odd? It just makes it feel kind of thrown together like I had all this leather and I just wrapped it stylishly around my feet and I ended up with this neat pair of architectural military cool platform booties. Thanks JC!
Browse and Buy the Hot Stuff
As expected from Campbell, the HotStuff platform heels are no slouch in the height department. With 5″ cone heels and 1.5″ platforms – they will have you looking tall and giraffe like. In black leather with straps, rich wood, a buckle and a well placed stud – the Hot stuff booties have it going on without being too much. You can pair them with anything from shorts, jeans to dresses – long and short but my top pick to wear them with is a great body con dress and a killer pair of shades.
This brand Lovers + Friends is new to me. I dig the name – very louche and sexy as are the clothes. I think the Lovers & Friends boyfriend blouse in the leopard print with a pair of tight jeans or a pencil skirt with the JC Hot Stuff shoes would be OFF THE CHARTS smokin’ hot. With a pair of black leather short shorts – insane. This brand has a lot of really cool stuff and the price point is affordable – the blouse is $106 and comes in leopard or a mixed blue color, tunics are $80-100. The Weekend tunic in python is also great. With the cutout shoulders, the animal print and the minidress cut – it’s pretty easy sexy. If it’s too sexy with those Hotstuff heels, just add jeans or a wide leg flowy palazzo pant to take things down a notch.
Lovers + Friends Drape Blouse $106
Lovers + Friends Weekend Tunic $79
I love these House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea cat eye sunglasses. I love the vintage inspired shape of cat eye sunglasses. but normally, I find the cat-eyes too small for my face. Leave it to Nicole Richie to do some super sized cat-eye sunglasses. Adore these! The black is good and the nude Chelsea sunglasses are REALLY good. You can click on the pic of NR wearing them to see both black and nude and to buy them. You may already have a nice little body con dress in your closet – if not, this one is a rad dress that will be killer with the Jeffrey Campbell Hot Stuff platform heels.
Cat Eye Chelsea Sunglasses $138
Motel Halter Dress Black Body Con $88
You can wear the closed toe Hot Stuff booties in spring and summer and then wear them into fall and winter so you can definitely get the per wear value out of them over a few seasons. They are edgy but classic enough that they won’t be out of fashion next year.

Old Florida Atmosphere
Visiting Boca Grande is like taking a step back in time. Void of high rises and major highways, the island is outlined by white sandy beaches and features many old architectural wonders, such as a 104-year-old lighthouse, that offer great photography opportunities. These charming qualities, combined with local warmth and hospitality, are what often drive couples to host a Boca Grande wedding.
.jpg)
The Gasparilla Inn
One of the most popular Boca Grande wedding locations is The Gasparilla Inn, a classic resort that was built in 1913. Offering a variety of indoor and outdoor Boca Grande wedding ceremony and reception locations, The Gasparilla Inn is stunningly beautiful and upscale. Accommodating intimate and large events, the elegant resort hosts weddings from October until June year round and is known for impeccable service and classic taste.

Boca Grande Club
At the Boca Grande Club, indoor and outdoor weddings are always secluded and intimate, no matter how many people are in attendance. Located along a white, sandy beach, the club offers a variety of Boca Grande wedding spaces, including decks, verandahs and clubrooms, and features several great outdoor spaces where a large tent can be put up for evening receptions. On top of a beautiful setting, the Boca Grande Club boasts a great staff who help couples plan every aspect of their Boca Grande wedding, from the food and entertainment to the center pieces on the tables.

Church Ceremonies
More traditional couples can also choose to hold their Boca Grande wedding ceremony in a number of charming churches scattered throughout the island. A replica of the Spanish missions built in the 1800’s, the Lady of Mercy Mission Chapel has a distinctive Mediterranean style while St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, once a wooden cottage, has a more country feeling. Built in 1910, the white framed United Methodist Church was the first on the island while the First Baptist Church of Boca Grande was restored to its original beauty in 2003.

Upscale Charm
Whether you’re saying “I do” on the beach, at an elegant resort or in an intimate, historical church, your Boca Grande wedding will be nothing short of exceptional. And to make sure that you remember that beauty for years to come, Jennifer Angeloro Photography is on hand to capture every moment of your wedding day. From the first kiss and your walk down the aisle to the cutting of the cake and your first dance as husband and wife, we’ll be there to make sure you can look back and remember it all as clearly as the day it happened.

According to the Hebrew Bible, there are any number of crimes for which death is considered the appropriate penalty. Murder another person, and your own life is forfeit. Violate the Sabbath, and you will be stoned. Indulge in incest or adultery, and it is all over. Worship idols, and you have committed a capital crime. And the list goes on.
President Bush made a point of going around the table and greeting each of us personally before the "formal" meeting began. But herein lies the curious part. There really was no formal meeting.

Is Obama’s J-Dar off? Probing, once again, the ‘kishkes question’
Follow JewishJournal.com on
Does President Obama need a “Shalom Chaver” moment a la Bill Clinton?
More fraught back-and-forth between the organized Jewish community and the Obama administration again has brought to the fore the question of what the president feels in his gut toward Israel and the Jewish people.
The questions were prompted by the Obama administration’s late and qualified response to last week’s naming of a square for Dalal Mughrabi, a terrorist who helped mastermind a 1978 bus attack that killed 37 Israeli civilians, including a dozen children. The hurt feelings were sharpened by the massacre over the previous weekend of an Israeli couple and three of their children in their home in the Itamar settlement in the West Bank.
Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, noted the Mughrabi square naming at a Manhattan memorial service for the murdered Fogel family members from Itamar.
“If governments, even our own, do not stand out and shriek and condemn and take action when they see this kind of action by the Palestinian Authority and their representatives”—and the incitement continues despite repeated promises—then “we must make sure that our voices are heard,” Hoenlein said. “We have to demand accountability and that there will be consequences.”
Morton Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America, asked what the president feels “in his soul”—a reference to disputed reports that in a meeting with Jewish leaders last month, Obama asked them to “search their souls” regarding their desire for peace.
“In light of what President Obama said to us at the White House and in light of this present episode, the ZOA asks a simple question: What does President Obama’s shocking, unbelievable and frightening refusal to condemn the honoring and glorifying of a major Jew-killer by [President Mahmoud] Abbas’ P.A., a day after an anti-Israel massacre, tell us about Obama’s true feelings about Jews and Israel?” Klein asked. “Mr. Obama, we respectfully ask you, sir, to ‘search your soul’ to evaluate your feelings and actions and policies toward the Jewish state of Israel.”
President Clinton set the high mark for connecting with Israelis and Jews in his 1995 eulogy at Yitzhak Rabin’s funeral when he encapsulated worldwide Jewish grief in a simple Hebrew phrase: “Shalom chaver,” “Farewell friend.” The second President Bush also made clear his affection for the Jewish state, both supporters and detractors agree.
Speaking on the record, most Jewish community leaders dismiss talk about Obama’s “kishkes factor”—what he feels in his gut—as overly focused on the ephemera of emotions and beside the point: The lines of communication with the White House are open, they say, and the president and his staff are responsive to their overtures.
“I would say we have a good line of communication with them,” said Alan Solow, the Presidents Conference chairman and a fundraiser for Obama in 2008. “Our access is both appropriate and excellent. There’s not a problem of communication issue between the Jewish leadership and the White House.”
Solow would not address the kishkes factor, saying it was inappropriate for him to comment.
Speaking on background, however, a number of Jewish community figures—among them those who generally sympathize with the administration’s outlook on Israel—say Obama just doesn’t get it.
“His J-Dar is off,” said one dovish figure who recalled Obama’s first meeting with Jewish leaders in the summer of 2009, when he told them that previous administrations’ policy of not being public about policy disputes with Israel was unproductive.
“It may have been true, but it was not the right thing to say” to Jewish leaders, the official told JTA. “What it implies is that you’re trying to drive a wedge between them and the government of Israel—but you should know that rarely, rarely works because the organized Jewish community supports Israeli governments. He doesn’t get the emotional issue, and maybe even the structural issue.”
Obama’s missed opportunity was not visiting Israel after his June 2009 address to the Muslim world in Cairo, a number of officials have said.
A conservative who has tried to make the case for this White House among like-minded friends and colleagues says Obama’s aloof personality is a problem.
“With Clinton, when he talked to you, it was like you were the most important person in the world,” the official said. “With Obama, it’s like he’s the most important person in the world.”
A prominent Democrat and a Clinton administration veteran said the problem was not confined to the Jews: This White House had made the rookie mistake of believing its resounding victory gave it a license to ignore special interests.
“It’s frustrating for every community, not just the Jewish community,” the Democrat said. “They have turned up their nose at constituency politics—labor, Hispanics, blacks, gays and lesbians also don’t get courted. They think they can go past affinity groups, and they can in some instances, but they still have to court the groups.”
White House officials tend to audibly sigh when the question arises. They especially chafe at the notion, raised by a number of Israeli and pro-Israeli officials, that there is no immediate “hotline” official in the White House—someone like Elliott Abrams, the Bush administration’s top Middle East staffer, who could be reached at a moment’s notice.
That person in this White House has been Dan Shapiro, who has Abrams’ job, and he has been responsive, according to friends of the White House.
One sympathetic pro-Israel official said that expecting microscopic attention to square namings by West Bank Palestinians was demanding too much of Shapiro.
“He’s just been dealing with that small problem of Libya,” the official commented dryly.
Obama announced recently that Shapiro would be his nominee to be the next U.S. ambassador to Israel.
White House officials say they have tried to be responsive and have engaged with Jewish leaders, and they say it’s a no-win situation: When they do not respond to a given event, like the Mughrabi square naming, they get into trouble, but when they do respond, the response is picked apart for inadequacies.
That damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t-prickliness characterized Jewish reaction to Obama’s speech to the Muslim world in 2009, when he went out of his way to condemn Holocaust denial among Arabs—and was slammed by some Jewish groups for seeming to draw moral equivalence with Palestinian suffering and for neglecting to mention the Jewish people’s biblical roots case for Israel.
The more recent episode, over the Mughrabi square, showed how an administration could stumble. The first response, days after the naming, came from relatively low-level officials and in response to a JTA inquiry, and said the administration was seeking “clarification” on an event that had been widely reported. The Palestinian Authority did not officially sponsor the event, nor did its officials attend it, but officials of Abbas’ Fatah Party were in attendance and Abbas did not reprimand them.
A day later, the State Department’s top spokesman, Mark Toner, explicitly condemned the naming and said the United States “urged” Abbas to address it.
Ori Nir, the spokesman for Americans for Peace Now, suggested such reactions were overwrought.
“Obama does not seem to have internalized yet, or does not seem cognizant yet of the fact that most American Jewish voters are progressive—they support his general agenda,” Nir said. “They typically don’t vote first and foremost on Israel and will probably overwhelmingly vote for him again.”
