RIO DE JANEIRO – Coming into full swing Rio in time for Rio de Janeiro's summer, Pedra do Sal (Salt Rock) will once again host weekly, free jazz performances on Tuesday evenings. The event starts at 7PM every Tuesday, with DJs playing before the live jazz begins at 8:30 PM.
Thousands of Cariocas and tourists alike have flocked to Pedra do Sal every Tuesday to get their weekly fix of jazz since 2012. Additionally, the open air performances feature DJs playing a mix of of jazz, samba and the Brazilian roots that link both musical genres.
"The event has a cultural importance," Andre Peterson, one of the event's founders and founder and partner at a local bar Botequim Bodega do Sal, told The Rio Times. "Pedra do Sal is the birthplace of samba, but it is also a place for Black music, just like jazz."
Peterson and local jazz percussionist and musician Guga Pellicciotti founded Jazz na Pedra do Sal in December 2012. Feeling that Rio could provide easier access to jazz for Cariocas and tourists alike, Peterson and Pellicciotti decided to start their own event.
Sticking to the true, improvised spirit of jazz, performances consist of a group of talented musicians reacting spontaneously to each other and are led by Pellicciotti.
The initial aim of Jazz at Pedra do Sal was to create equal access to high quality music and culture. "We chose Pedra do Sal [to host the jazz] because at the time events there were super popular," said Peterson. "There was already the jazz in Praça Tiradentes, but the city was in need of more open-air jazz."
The historic Pedra do Sal, one of Rio's most celebrated cultural locations in the historic Centro area, famously hosts a weekly roda de samba (samba wheel) on Mondays nights – and also Fridays in the summer months.
With support from Antartica allowing lower drinks prices for the event, Jazz na Pedra do Sal promises to continue in 2017 with free admission for all.
Botequim Bodega do Sal advises early arrival for jazz fans to secure a table for the most relaxed experience.
What: Jazz at Pedra do Sal
Where: Pedra do Sal, Rua Argemiro Bulcão, 35, Centro
When: Every Tuesday, 7PM – midnight
Entrance: Free

That's it: the June panel went very well and I got the upgrade (which basically means that the structure and argument of my PhD got accepted by an expernal board). I was delighted and really boosted up by the positive approach that the external examinator had during the discussion: he pointed out at things to be improved but was not trying to pin down fatal mistakes and deadly theoretical impasses… basically he was trying to help rather than kill… what a refreshing approach!!!
Jokes apart, I now have a collection of notes of "nice to add/change" but I have decided to take a break till September before facing them. At the moment I have kids on summer holidays and student dissertations to read so… the PhD will have to wait – this is the advantage of doing it part-time.
Still, I am going to publish the first three chapters of my PhD (the very drafted versions that I presented to my panel in June) and I hope you will want to comment on them… any input helps!! Thanks!!!

ludolphus SΤΞVΞΠ
@33MHz it can be a new PCA right right? @blumenkraft
blumenkraft Jochen Spalding
@ludolphus of course! :) will add it when home. @33MHz
@ludolphus I think it'd be confusing, because people would talk about cheersclub with nothing to do with the PCA. @blumenkraft
ludolphus SΤΞVΞΠ
@33MHz nothing to do but drink! @blumenkraft
@ludolphus yes, let's have a drink and forget all about this... @blumenkraft

@ludolphus we'll have to wait until the poll is closed to do a recount. We don't know the results yet! @blumenkraft
blumenkraft Jochen Spalding
Robert only joked with his poll. This is the real poll! @33MHz @ludolphus
@ludolphus @blumenkraft well, the poll still isn't closed, but it looks to me like people are overwhelmingly saying "no" to a new PCA.

Alabama to honor Crimson Tide legend Kenny "The Snake" Stabler
The Alabama Crimson Tide are set to honor the late Kenny Stabler prior to their home game against LSU on Nov. 7, according to 24/7 Sports' Charlie Potter.
Stabler, who played for legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant from 1964-67, passed away July 8. He was 69.
Known as "The Snake," Stabler was on Alabama's roster when the Crimson Tide won the 1965 National Championship and the 1966 Sugar Bowl. He became the starter as a junior and led Alabama to an undefeated season, but the Crimson Tide were snubbed for a third straight title in the polls. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 1968 NFL Draft. He led the Raiders to a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI.
Stabler's family will be honored on the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium prior to kickoff against the Tigers.

"Please could you pass on my best regards to David, as I was a patient of his back in 2015, diagnosed with Lateral Facet Overpressure Syndrome. Since then, I have managed to work my way back from a lot of knee trouble to completing this year's London Marathon, after being lucky enough to land a ballot place!
When I met David at the Fortius Clinic I was greatly reassured by his guidance and his opinion that I could rectify my chronic knee pain, and after a lot of physio work and gradual running on the flat, I was able to progress to completing the St Albans half marathon last year, which made me want to focus on tackling twice the distance.>
I wanted to share my story as it's important to show that if I can do this at 47 years 'young' then anything is possible for patients who are my age or younger and also suffering comparable knee issues.
Thank you to all of you at Fortius, and I hope to have news of a sub 4:30 run if I can get into next year's race!"
Patient treated by Mr David Houlihan-Burne
"I don't know if you saw the news last week, but Ethan became World Champion with the GB team at the UCI Track World Championships in the Netherlands. We just wanted to thank you for looking after him – those tiny pins in his little finger and the pinned and plated collar bone were obviously very expertly done. All being well he's going to be taking part in the track cycling for England at Commonwealth Games in Brisbane 5-8 April, watch out for him!"
Patient treated by Mr Ramon Tahmessebi
"I had a bunion surgery with Mr Amit Amin last June and I am very happy with the result! Mr Amin approach is very professional and reassuring. I used to have a lot of pain in my left foot because of this bunion and now it's gone! For the first time in years, I am able to wear Tropezienne sandals without my foot being compressed or too wide to fit! That's fantastic! If you need a bunionectomy surgery, you found the best surgeon in Dr Amin."
Patient treated by Mr Amit Amin
"As it will be one year in February 2018 since my left knee replacement and my right knee being replaced three months earlier, I cannot thank you enough. After struggling with painful knees for a number of years due to arthritis, I can honestly say I am now pain free and am able to resume normal mobility.
I found you so reassuring and kind during my two knee replacements, and with your skills, aftercare and results. You have truly exceeded my expectations."
Patient treated by Mr Jonathon Lavelle
"I was treated by Mr Corbett in 2016, after going to him for a second opinion on my frozen shoulder - I was referred to him via a friend. It's hard to image receiving a better level of care. Mr Corbett is clearly an expert in his field but he also has a great manner and humility in the way he relates to you. His approach/principle was to treat surgery as a last resort which is reassuring and shows he has the patients best interests as his first priority.
One year on, following a capsular release surgery (and significant physio and reconditioning it must be said), I have very close to 100% movement back, no pain and frequently forget it was even an issue - which is incredible given how painful and restrictive it was last year as a 35 year old active guy last year. My physio, has said it is the best outcome from frozen shoulder surgery he has seen in his career.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Corbett and am very fortunate to have asked him for the second opinion."
Simon, Management Consultant
Treated by Mr Steven Corbett
"I had calcium deposits and a frayed suprasprinatus tendon and I can't thank Ms Alexander Consultant Shoulder Surgeon and the surgical team enough for a job well done. 6 days post op and the pain is gone and the recovery is racing along. I couldn't feel any better"
Treated by Ms Susan Alexander
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of the team at the Fortius Surgical centre for making me feel so at ease yesterday. As far as surgery and ops go, it was a relatively stress free process and dare I say it, somewhat enjoyable. Everyone was on hand and very willing to help. The clinic itself was a lovely clean environment, with plenty of smiley faces, so thank you again."
Treated by Mr Simon Ball
"I would like to say a huge thank you for the incredible job you did on my left ankle. One year since my surgery, I completed today's Taunton Marathon in just under 4 hours. I am really grateful for what you did… it has changed my sporting life! Thank you so much."
Treated by Mr James Calder
"I am writing to thank you for carrying out the very successful operation to replace my right knee two weeks ago. As you know from my follow up visit twelve days after the operation, I am already moving around with only a walking stick for support and not even that for short trips around the house and garden. Given all the problems I have had with the knee over the last year or so, I regard this as little short of a miracle.
As you know, I went into the Cromwell on Wednesday 15th March and was home again on the afternoon of Friday 17th March, walking on my new knee. The speed and success of this is, I am sure, due to the work you and your team, and the excellent support staff at the Cromwell, have put into delivering a process which puts the patient first at every stage and minimises the time spent in hospital. Since the operation I have been largely pain free, except for the odd occasion when pushing the post operation exercises a little too hard, and I am expecting to go from strength to strength and give up the walking stick completely in the very near future."
Treated by Mr Houlihan-Burne
"Thank you for the reconstructive MPFL surgery that you performed on Matthew last year. He was back to full contact rugby at the beginning of September … selected for the National Squad, and asked if he would consider captaining this national side for the season, which he was of course honoured to accept. Thank you for your surgical skills to help him get on this path - and for the experiences he will have playing in the England side and Touring Canada in a few weeks."
Treated by Mr Houlihan-Burne
"I had to write immediately having had my first ski of the season. I must tell you that I skied with no problem at all; more than that, I cannot remember when I was as comfortable or able or more free of pain. This is entirely due to the excellent surgery and prostheses that you provided. Ever since April I have made determined progress through physio therapy and gym work to strengthen my legs. Today all that paid enormous dividends. Thank you again, I would be more than happy to recommend the procedure to anyone else."
Treated by Mr Jonathon Lavelle
"Twelve months ago today David Houlihan-Burne replaced my right knee joint. I'd like to say how successful this has proved to be. The knee has good flexibility, approaching that of the original left knee. I have no pain from the knee. In September my wife and I had a week in the Lake District where we undertook half-day walks each day, mainly on the lower fells, which the knee coped with well. And I have no compensating complaints from other joints, thank you."
Treated by Mr David Houlihan-Burne
"I would like to express my enormous thanks to James Calder for getting me back on my feet. Following an ankle injury last year, I was left unable to run. James carried out a left ankle arthroscopy with excision of anterior osteophytes and lateral ligament reconstruction. James, with the help of his fantastic network of colleagues, has helped me get back to running which has meant that I have won both a 5k and a 10k race this week and I am currently in training for the London Marathon, Three Peaks Yacht Race and Marathon des Sables. I am eternally grateful. Thank you."
Timothy Philip Wood
Treated by Mr James Calder
"I really can't say enough good things about Dr Wallace. Not only the quality of surgery, but his advise and the way he's treated me as a patient has been phenomenal. The scar from the incision looks like a plastic surgeon did it - so tiny! I am very very impressed by Dr Wallace, plus all the supporting staff he works with."
Christina Milovancev
Treated by Mr Andrew Wallace
"Just a very quick email to let you know that I made a full return to IronMan Triathlons this weekend in Venice and recorded a personal best on the swim slashing 8 minutes off my previous personal best. So it would seem the shoulder operation was a success. I wanted to let you know as this was a plan when we met in November before the operation and through the Isokinetic unit the recovery went fine. The results speak for volumes for the great work.
So thank you very much."
Treated by Mr Andrew Wallace
"Can not thank the Fortius Clinic and The Cromwell Hospital enough for their care, understanding, knowledge and professionalism with regard to getting my 17 year old son, who suffered a horrible rugby injury, treated quickly and efficiently! He had ACL PCL and LCL reconstruction.....the works!!! Mr Andy Williams and his team are just all angels in disguise and the man is simply just a genius!!
My son now is well on the road to recovery because of the care and surgery he has received and his future looks positive.THANK YOU can not recommend them enough just First Class."
Treated by Mr Andy Williams
"Dear Mr Rosenfeld I just wanted to drop you note to say thank you for the two successful operations you performed. Removing the accessory navicular's has stopped all pain and inflammation in both ankles. I completed the Royal Parks half marathon last month and had no discomfort from either ankle during or post exercise.
I can't explain to you how much you have improved my day to day life. Since my ski season in 2004, I have been unable to take regular exercise and the injections only worked for a couple of months at a time. I have gone from limping to the tube in the morning to cycling in and playing team sports again.
I am shifting the natural insulation I gained during the periods of inactivity but most of all I'm just a lot happier with no ankle problems."
Treated by Mr Peter Rosenfeld
"I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you, Mr Calder. I know that this was simply another day in the office for you and that the procedure you performed on my foot was not a pioneering one but it has made an absolute world of difference to me. 6 months of crutches and the prospect of never being the same again have made me appreciate my mobility no end.
Both yourself and Anne Marie were consummate professionals throughout and made me feel both positive and well informed every step of the way (if you pardon the pun)."
Treated by Mr James Calder
"Having broken my ankle in February this year I was referred to Ioan Tudur Jones at the Clinic for Foot & Ankle Surgery. From the beginning he was open and clear about the process I would undergo, giving me the step by step process to recovery and advising me how best to help the ankle mend. When it came to having the surgery to realign my ankle and put the metal plates in place I had utter confidence in Ioan's ability. He was calm and reassuring and always ready to answer my many and frequent questions. Nine months on and the metal plates have been removed from my ankle, I'm back in high heels and back on the ski slopes. The recovery has been much faster then I anticipated given the severity of the break and I owe that to Ioan for his skill and support."
Treated by Mr Ioan Tudur Jones
"I had the right distal biceps tendon torn (while abroad)and did my homework properly and chose Andrew Richards. It is hard to imagine a more exceptional surgeon, at the same time affable, caring, compassionate and capable to inspire confidence and reassurance without leaving aside an honest conversation regarding the procedure, the risks and the recovery steps. The operation was carried out impeccably with no follow-up pains or issues. Mr Richards is a genuine godsend."
Paul Constantine
Treated by Mr Andrew Richards
"I rarely provide reviews for people, however I have been extremely pleased with the treatment I received and the expertise from Andrew in treating my Shoulder injury which had deteriorated after a motorcycle accident 5 years earlier. At all times Andrew was clear and concise and took time to explain his prognosis, treatments and likely outcomes. The ACJ surgery went extremely smoothly as a day patient and follow up and physiotherapy has resulted in a working, pain free shoulder joint, which has really improved my lifestyle. I recommend Andrew highly, he is not only good at what he does, but he is genuinely passionate about getting the very best outcome for his patients."
David Walker
Treated by Mr Andrew Richards
"I attended The Fortius Clinic for assessment of a 14 year old foot injury. The diagnosis had been initially missed via NHS care and problems continued. As I love to dance and live a very active life, I wanted the opinion of a foot and ankle surgeon with a sports medicine approach. Myself and other health practitioners involved with my care were extremely impressed by the clinical assessment and letter from Ioan Tudur Jones. It was through and well written and has helped me to make sense of my diagnosis and the impact this has had over the years on my foot, ankle and leg function. I consequently felt that the surgery treatment option suggested made sense to me and I could see a way forward to help resolve current problems. I have no hesitation in recommending The Fortius Clinic to others."
Jo (Artist, Dancer and Photographer, Nottingham)
Treated by Ioan Tudur Jones
"Please thank Andrew, I am really happy with the results of my surgery. I am indebted to him."
Chris Mulkerrins
Treated by Mr Andrew Richards
"I found the Fortius Clinic the best experience I have ever had in private practice. I was comprehensively handled right through a consultation, MRI Scan, and second consultation plus an Ultrasound Scan with injection/medication. All done whilst I was there. Wonderful work. Thank you Mr Wallace and one and all."
Quentin Williams
Treated by Mr Andrew Wallace
"Many thanks to Peter for all of his help in ensuring that I was able to referee at Wembley on Sunday 22nd March. Without his help I really feel that this would not have possible."
Michael Russell
Treated by Mr Peter Rosenfeld
"I had experienced about 8/9 months of groin pain, which no doctors could seem to fully diagnose. It was consistently diagnosed as a groin issue and I even ended up having a hernia operation, which was completely useless. For months I rehabbed different injuries depending on whatever new diagnosis I had been given, none of them working. I had been lucky enough to see a lot the top sports doctors and surgeons in Ireland and none could come up with an answer. Some even told me it was in my head! It was not only physical pain but by this stage it became a huge stress in my life and I was feeling under a lot of pressure to recover quickly or else I was at the point where I was potentially going to lose my contract.
Thankfully one of the physios found Dr. Schilders and I was fitted in for an appointment and from then on until this day there hasn't been a single issue. The operation went exactly as he said it would, and the rehab again was exactly as he said it would be. Since my recovery I have now been playing professionally for 2 and a half years without a single issue and I'm hugely grateful to Dr. Schilders for the work he did for me."
Eoin O'Malley, 23, professional rugby player, Leinster Rugby Club,Ireland.
Treated by Professor Ernest Schilders
"I injured my groin in June 2013 in qualification for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, initially I was certain it was something I could rehabilitate but after 6 months and no success I sought out the best for a consultation. Prof. Schilders instantly knew what was wrong and was very reassuring, mentioning how many time he had seen a similar injury and successfully repaired the damage allowing the athlete to return to full competition.
The experience of going under the knife isn't the most pleasant one, however I was looked after amazingly well and was paid a visit by Prof, Schilders very soon after the surgery. The rehabilitation protocols were laid out in a logical and progression way and I knew at which stage I could move on to higher level conditioning etc. I had the surgery in September and was back on the mat within 8 weeks doing light work and back competing by January and went on not only to qualify for the Commonwealth Games but to win a Bronze medal for my country.
I couldn't recommend Prof. Schilders any more highly, if you are struggling with any kind of groin injury and rehab doesn't seem to be working then my advice is to seek out the best in they field and you need to look no further than here. Thank you so much, 18 months down the line and my groin is better than ever."
Andrew Burns, 28, Bronze Medallist Judo, Common Wealth Games 2014.
Treated by Professor Ernest Schilders
"I wanted to get in touch to thank you for all you had done in getting the operation done asap and providing the advice on which route to take and obviously for performing the surgery so well.
"Working closely with my physio and coach I am not sure the rehab could have gone any better... with a lot of work and determination I did finally manage to compete at the ITF Taekwondo World Cup in August this year (Just over a year from the date of my surgery). Not only was I able to take part but I managed to win the bronze medal... once again, thank you so much for putting me back together!"

"Just to say thank you very much for the shock wave treatment on my left foot to treat planter fasciitis. About a week after the third session I had no pain or aches in my foot and was able to resume playing tennis normally. Have tried running and ached a little after, but ok. Am highly recommending shock wave treatment to anyone with same problem if they can access the treatment!"
Karen Cooper
Treated by James Calder
"I found out that I had not been fully extending my left knee and had lost stability and endurance as a result. I visited Sam Church at the Fortius Clinic and a month after my first visit I was back playing golf again, and hitting the ball better as a result. Just eight days after the surgery I was back on my bicycle, and immediately noticed a huge improvement in the knee.
My experience of the service? Well, it was fast, efficient and the knee feels so much better and stronger."
Konrad Bartelski, former Olympic skier
Treated by Sam Church
"Since a modified Brostrom repair: I have been training hard and a few weeks ago I was in Mallorca with my triathlon club on a training camp and am now feeling fitter than I ever have before. I recently did my first race in nearly a year and won by over 2 minutes…a fantastic comeback!
I just wanted to thank you for your skill and expertise and tell you that it really feels like you have given me my life back!! Thanks for helping me get back to what im passionate about!"
Parys Edwards
Treated by Peter Rosenfeld
"I thought you would be interested to see how the knees were going three years after surgery and my shoulder after two. Just finished 1000kms ride in six days through Morocco and Western Sahara last week...AMAZING!!! My knees were fantastic and my shoulder has never been better! (And this was my second big bike ride this year following John O'Groats to Lands' End.)
Thanks again for a wonderful job!"
Simon Halden
Treated by Andy Williams and Andrew Wallace
After a mosaicplasty in the ankle: "Since the operation I have got my life back on track. I am walking without pain and take full advantage of this wherever I can. I am back playing sports every week, I regularly go to the gym as well as attending boxing training once a week, I also completed a sponsored 50km cycle around the Sussex countryside for the NSPCC and raised nearly £500 for children, only possible thanks to the operation.
None of this would be possible without you and your team and it was your confidence and attitude that inspired me to be positive and believe that I would get better. The inspiration is just as important as the actual operation itself, so thank you."
Antony Angeli
Treated by Peter Rosenfeld
"I ruptured my ACL in 2010 and searched for a while before selecting a surgeon and until we came across the Fortius Clinic and Jonathan Webb. I can honestly say that that was one of the best decisions my team and I have ever made for my career. I was only 17 and had never had an injury before so I was unsure whether I would be returning to skiing at a competitive level, or indeed at all.
I put my trust in Jonathan Webb and his team and I wasn't let down. The care I received in the consulting room and the hospital was great, you couldn't have asked for better. Jonathan Webb signed me off five and a half months after my operation and my knee feels stronger than it was before. Most people said it was all down to how hard I worked on my physiotherapy, but I believe it was because of the surgeon I had and the care I received."
Natalia Harte, British skier
Treated by Jonathan Webb
"I just wanted to thank you for the two successful operations you performed. I completed the Royal Parks half marathon last month and had no discomfort from either ankle during or post exercise. I can't explain to you how much you have improved my day to day life… I have gone from limping to the tube in the mornings to cycling in and playing team sports again."
Marc Davies
Treated by Peter Rosenfeld
"A year after an ankle replacement operation: I am writing to tell you that I am delighted and thrilled with the result. I can walk normally, with no pain whatsoever, and, if the need arises I can run as well. To say I am grateful to you is an understatement. Thank you so much."
Alan Bonner
Treated by Ioan Tudor Jones
"I ruptured my ACL in 2012. I selected the Fortius Clinic and Jonathan Webb because of my sister's experience (see above). I was only 16, but I had every faith in Jonathan Webb and his team even before my first appointment. He explained every minor detail about my injury to me and made sure I understood, and that I felt comfortable about the operation. If I had any worries during my rehabilitation, he was always on the other end of the phone or via email to answer my questions.
I was right to have put my faith in him and his team as my knee is stronger than it ever was and I was signed off five months post operation. I know I recovered so quickly because of the quality of my surgeon Jonathan Webb and his team. The care and attention I received throughout the whole process was outstanding and you could not have asked for better."
Giulia Harte, British skier
Treated by Jonathan Webb
"I cannot thank you enough for the transformation that your amazing skill has brought to my feet, with such great kindness and infectious enthusiasm for your work. I so vividly recall your cheery wave from the theatre before the operation.
It has been quite an adventure and little did I think just 12 weeks later I would be completing a 6.5 mile walk in glorious sunshine…you have given me a future for beloved hill walking and running – and just two years on I have completed a 10km run and am in training for that half marathon to mark my mid-fifties.
I cannot thank you enough for your incredible skill and your unerring positive approach – and patience!
I have been so lucky to have your guidance and insight throughout – just looking at the x-rays shows what an amazing talent you have.
Most of all thank you for
- Your world class skill and insight
- Giving one woman a "new" set of feet
- Doing both with such grace, patience and modesty"

The LMS exists mainly for the needs of managers...not learners.
I would say the participants in the PLENK2010 MOOC, who have decided to participate in a Moodle, would not agree. These members have all the freedom in the world to choose how they wish to conduct discussions, yet they choose an LMS. I'm willing to bet there are some who will work completely from Moodle for the entire course. So from their perspective, an LMS exists mainly for the needs of the learners.

DAY REVIEW: With a clear home win against Lugi HF, Füchse Berlin left no doubt about the first place in Group B of the Men´s EHF Cup.
Füchse take last group win; Saint-Raphael cruise past Anaitasuna
Through a 34:25 win at home against Lugi HF, Füchse Berlin secured the first place in Group B of the Men's EHF Cup on the last day of the group phase.
In the same group, Saint-Raphael Var Handball celebrated their quarter-final berth by winning 38:29 in Spain against Helvetia Anaitasuna.
Füchse Berlin (GER) vs Lugi HF 34:25 (17:12)
Missing injured backcout players Paul Drux and Marko Kopljar as well as Steffen Fäth who sustained an injury after five minutes did not stop Füchse from ending their group phase campaign with a big home win.
Lugi were only able to follow the home team until the score 3:3 at the start.
From then one, Füchse were completely in control and leading by six goals several times already in the first half.
In the second half, the current number two in the Bundesliga continued to dominate, having a series of 11-goal leads along the way, much to the satisfaction of the 5,805 spectators in the Max Schmeling Halle.
The win meant that Füchse could lean back and enjoy the group win without having to worry about the later game between Helvetia Anaitasuna and Saint-Raphael.
The quarter-final was already a fact for Füchse before the last match day.
To Lugi, their sixth defeat in a row made it a fact that the Swedish club was the only team who did not get a single point in the group phase.
Saint-Raphael had qualified for the quarter-final already before this very last match in group phase, but after the Füchse win earlier on Easter Sunday, the French side could no longer win the group.
This did not make Saint-Raphael take the match lightly at all, however.
After a couple of Anaitasuna leads at the start, the visitors were in charge for the rest of the first half, and in the last 30 minutes, the French dominance became even more outspoken, and after a number of six-goal leads, Saint-Raphael went 10 goals up before winning by nine.
Before the match, it was already a fact that Anaitasuna would finish third in the group.
As group winners:
As second-placed teams:
Directly qualified for the EHF Cup Finals:

Our Services
It's because of what we believe that we therefore meet on Sundays, to thank and praise God, to listen to him speak to us by his Spirit through his word (through the Bible and sermon), to speak to him in prayer, and to encourage each other to trust, love and serve him in our lives.
Our services are held at two locations: St Saviour's on Colombo St (10.30am) and St Nicholas on Barrington St (9am).
Click here to view a larger map.
See Also: Our Faith
Sunday Mornings
Our 9am service at St Nicholas, Barrington St, is a more classic Anglican service. Weekly communion, preaching and praise form the heart of this service. Kids are well cared for in Sunday School and crèche, and we spend time together after the service over morning tea.
At 10:30am at St Saviour's, Colombo St, we have a more informal service. Lively music accompanies the preaching of God's word and we celebrate the Lord's Supper once a month. There's a range of Sunday School classes (including crèche), and we share an excellent late morning tea afterwards.

Are you looking for a fun, unique way to challenge your child or yourself while learning and building important life skills? Learning a musical instrument is one of the best ways to give you or your child a sense of accomplishment while gaining confidence and learning self-motivation. Playing music is fun, sparks creativity, uses EVERY part of the brain and is a wonderful, healthy outlet for self-expression! Recent studies show that children who are involved in music score higher on standardized tests, do better in school, stay out of trouble and are more likely to graduate and go to college. Being in a music program builds necessary life skills such as discipline, teamwork, and problem solving. Music is more than an extra-curricular activity: it is an art!
Beehland Baptist Church's Academy of Music
strives to provide our students with a high-quality music education in a safe, positive environment.
We are currently offering private lessons in the instruments listed below:

Scotland's Employer Recruitment Incentive was launched in June
2015 with a commitment to assist employers in supporting young
people into jobs.
The scheme was paused in December 2015, amid uncertainty
following the Chancellor's spending review and how it would affect
the Scottish budget.
SERI resumed on 1st April 2016, with a sharper focus on the job

SERI was developed in partnership with local government and in
consultation with Skills Development Scotland (SDS), business and
third sector organisations. It will deliver our commitment to

focussing on those young people who face the greatest barriers to
SERI Delivery and offer:
SERI is administered on behalf of Scottish Government by SDS and
delivered by Scotland's 32 Local Authorities. It offers
employers up to £4,000 when their company commits to a new job or
new MA. The funding is available as a contribution toward the
additional costs of recruiting and sustaining a young person during
their first 52 weeks of sustainable employment.
The funding could be utilised in a number of ways including
additional supervisory costs, training, initial travel to work
costs or wages. No single use is prescribed.
If the company pays the young person the living wage there will
be an additional payment of £500. This incentive is not a handout
to companies - it is a co-investment in young people with a view to
helping businesses grow.
Employers should consult their Local Authority (LA) if they wish
to apply for SERI.
Further information on SERI and LA contact information can be
found on here on OurSkillsforce website.

existing MA programme rules). Public Sector employers are not
eligible to apply.

Eagles center Jason Kelce might be the most unfairly scrutinized athlete in the city. We're talking about a player who's earned trips to the Pro Bowl two of the last three years, yet remains a constant source of fan frustration.
Well, until this season anyway. Kelce appears to be off to his best start since 2013. Through five weeks, he grades second among all NFL centers, according to Pro Football Focus. Gone are lazy complaints about the 295-pound lineman getting pushed around in the trenches, or taking too many costly penalties.
Nobody can argue Kelce isn't getting the job done right now.
There are a lot of factors behind Kelce's resurgence. For starters, he was never performing as poorly as the criticism might make you think. The offensive line is also improving as a unit, and the seventh-year veteran is benefiting from a developing rapport with the players to his left and right. It's his second season in Eagles coach Doug Pederson's system as well.
All of which has Kelce playing with a high level of confidence that was somewhat lacking in years past. There is perhaps no better example of just how much the guy is "feeling it" right now than on Carson Wentz's 72-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor in the Eagles' 34-7 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
"They brought an all-out blitz there," Wentz said postgame. "If you guys go back and watch it, Jason Kelce made an unbelievable play. He ended up blocking two guys, so I shouldn't have had the time to get that one off."
Wentz challenged us to go back and watch the play, so we did – and couldn't help but come away impressed.
If you recall the situation, the touchdown came on 3rd and 19. More often than not, defenses will set back and keep the play in front of the sticks. But the Cardinals are trailing 24-7 in the third quarter, and want to force the Eagles to make a mistake, so they are sending a zero blitz.
There are so many rushers coming for Wentz, they aren't even all in the picture.
Kelce is going against unheralded first-year player Olsen Pierre here, and winning. There's nothing spectacular about this one-on-one block, but Kelce is holding up at the point of attack and steering his assignment to the outside, leaving Wentz plenty of room to step up.
Make note of No. 41 in white, though. The Eagles only have six blockers for seven rushers, leaving safety Antoine Bethea unaccounted for – and a small crease to the quarterback.
Not on Kelce's watch. At the last moment, he reaches his arm out and essentially clotheslines Bethea. It's just enough to slow the blitzer.
Then, Kelce finishes the play, driving Pierre into Bethea. Both defenders wind up on the ground.
It's not a pretty, clean pocket, but Wentz is great at navigating crowded areas, and he gets off a perfect throw. Everybody did their job here to make this play happens, including Agholor with the catch and run.
Kelce went above and beyond.
Obviously, this is only one play. Are there occasions where Kelce is overpowered at the line of scrimmage, whiffs on a block or is called for a bad penalty? Absolutely. Yet, for the past few seasons, fans only seem to take notice of his mistakes. You can pick anybody apart if you're only looking for the negatives.
Kelce has a reputation for being a "finesse" player, somebody who's only good when he gets into space. And when it comes to that aspect of the game, Kelce is the best in the league, hands down. He is perfectly capable of making the "ordinary" play as well though – even the ones that aren't so ordinary.
Maybe it's about time people stop throwing Kelce's name into every trade rumor or debating whether he will be a cap casualty. The Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in football right now, and their center is a big reason why.

Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with deep historical ties to Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Transnistria, and Poland. Although Vilnius is known for its Baroque architecture, it is also home to a medley of other architectural styles, including Gothic and Renaissance. Vilnius' diverse culture and flourishing industries welcome interns to gain international professional experience using their English-language skills.
Riga is the capital city of Latvia and a thriving metropolis situated on the Baltic Sea. Riga has a long tradition of trade and commerce with other European countries. As such, English often serves as a lingua franca, thus making English-speaking interns highly sought after, particularly in the fields of editing and technical writing.
As the capital of Estonia, Tallinn is known for its rich cultural heritage. Tallinn is situated just off the shore of the Gulf of Finland and offers a beautiful array of sites. Students who are interested in finance or information technology should be especially drawn to this city, which boasts one of the most digitally integrated infrastructures in the world. However, Tallinn's cobblestone streets, breathtaking architecture, and diverse economy beckon students of any discipline.
Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia belong to the Eurozone and as such offer visa-free travel. Their proximity to other major European capitals likewise makes for attractive hubs.

Stay positive, Boyne tells Jamaicans
Deputy chief executive officer of the Jamaica Information Service (JIS), Ian Boyne, is encouraging Jamaicans to cultivate a spirit of optimism and a "can-do attitude", even as they navigate their way through the current economic challenges.
Boyne said it was important for Jamaicans to seek out the opportunities present in times of significant challenges, rather than bemoan what they can't control or change.
The veteran journalist, who was delivering the keynote address at the Rotary Club of Liguanea Plains' weekly meeting on Thursday, at the Eden Gardens Wellness Resort and Spa, in Kingston, urged citizens to alter their attitude of pessimism and "catastrophising", and instead adopt a positive mindset.
Problem in every solution
"We have a problem in Jamaica in the sense that we find a problem in every solution. We always find a cloud to every silver lining. There is almost a congenital pessimistic framework that we have," he said.
"One of the things that always struck me is our difficulty in finding solutions or taking a can-do attitude," Boyne added.
He pointed out that in many ways, the media has played a significant role in developing this spirit of negativity on which Jamaicans feed. "My profession has played a major negative role, because in my profession, we glorify the bad news, we glorify the gory. If it bleeds, it leads," he said.
Boyne emphasised that it would be harder for Jamaicans to cope and for the nation to move forward, if they do not change their mindset and thoughts.
"If you change your perspective, if you change your ways of seeing things, you change your world, and you create new circumstances," he reasoned.

It is my pleasure to present you with this wine list. A lot of thought
and effort went into picking these examples of what well-made wine can
be. This list, whenever possible, is made up of family owned small vineyards.
In fact, I have shaken the hand of the owner or wine maker of over 85%
of these wines.
At Pour, we believe wine is an integral part of the dining experience
and should be accessible to and enjoyed by everyone. To meet this end,
our entire wine list is value priced. Not a single wine is priced more
than $15 over retail, most at less — an extraordinary value that
enables our guests to enjoy a wide variety of superior wines at exceptional
Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or any
one of my wonderful staff, we will assist in any way we can.
Lastly, we can sell you bottles to go – we'll even knock

UTAH — "Kink," a documentary on San Francisco-based fetish studio Kink.com, will have its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival as part of its Park City at Midnight program.
The film is directed by Christina Voros ("127 Hours: An Extraordinary View") and co-produced by actor James Franco ("127 Hours") through his production company Rabbit Bandini.
Sundance, which announced its selections on Wednesday, describes "Kink" as a "story of sex, submission and big business." Images from the documentary made their debut on Sundance.org.
The project was first announced by Franco in August of last year during an appearance on Conan O'Brien's TBS talk show. The Oscar-nominated actor gushed to O'Brien about the fetish studio and its headquarters, located in San Francisco's historic Armory building.
"It's at this old armory and they do everything in house; they build the props in house," Franco said. "So I'm making a documentary about that. It's an incredible place."
"Kink" includes interviews with founder Peter Ackworth, his creative team and talent. Earlier this year, Franco starred in IFC Films' "About Cherry," an indie-drama about a teen runaway who finds a home with the pornographers of a Kink-based adult studio in San Francisco.
The 2013 Sundance Film Festival takes place Jan. 17-27 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.

At SPE UWA, we are dedicated to increasing awareness of diversity and equality in all STEM related disciplines within the Oil and Gas industry. Our vision for 2017 is to increase the number of diversity-based events that we run to provide inspiration and networking opportunities.
BP Presents: Growth Through Diversity
In 2016, BP hosted an open panel discussion style event, providing students with the opportunity to submit questions regarding diversity in the Oil and Gas industry to a distinguished panel of managers and engineers in both the upstream and downstream sectors. This was followed by a networking session with the panel.
Women In Oil&Gas
SPE UWA's Women in Oil and Gas Morning Tea features presentations from successful and inspirational female engineers working in the field. It provided an opportunity for women undertaking an engineering degree to network and form relationships with others in similar career pathways, and established life-long contacts with women in the industry.
2016 Edition
Following 2015's sold out event, we were able to bring an exciting and experimental networking opportunity for female engineering students - a round robin networking morning tea. The 1:2 company representative to student ratio allowed 36 female students undertaking engineering studies to network exclusively with women in similar career pathways. Following the receipt of praises from several company representatives and students, SPE UWA looks forward to bringing an even better event next year!
Companies in attendance included Woodside, Shell, Schlumberger, DOF Subsea, Yokogawa and Santos.

Noise Cancelling Headsets
Noise cancelling headphones are an innovation that can greatly help someone who has to use their headphones in busy areas such as on the street or in a call centre. Many popular models of telephone headset now feature noise cancelling circuitry as standard or have the option available if needed.
Noise cancelling technology can work in two ways. Either passively by there being material that is able to cut out background noise or actively via circuitry that is able to determine what are the main voices in a conversation and what is background noise. The circuitry then acts to cancel out the background noise. This assures a much clearer conversation and reduces distractions allowing all parties in a conversation to focus what is being said to better effect.
Things to Consider When Buying
The quality of the noise cancelling headsets such as the Plantronics HW251N SupraPlus NC Monaural Headset and the Sennheiser DW10 Office Wireless Headset, is very high with companies such as Plantronics and Sennheiser producing products to a very high standard. The effectiveness of the noise cancelling feature on a telephone headset is obviously of highest importance. With this consideration in mind you then have to choose which style and which features you would like the headset to have. Binaural or Monaural headset? Over the Head, Over the Ear, In the Ear or Behind the Ear? All are standard factors to take into account but all of these groups of headsets are able to other a noise cancelling version of their standard models.

Pakistani actress Veena Malik has been making headlines for quite some time now.
Clearly, Veena is advancing back to showbiz. She has matched up with picture taker Raza Jaffri, and Veena Malik 's real makeover has effectively overwhelmed the web.
We are thinking about whether it's a photograph shoot or something else.


text: This week we had the honor of being featured in one of our favorite magazines, Inside Weddings. We were featured in a stunning editorial and had an additional spread with our gorgeous bride, Brittany Palmer. The editorial was a glamorous poolside look with the model dressed in our Katerina gown. We love the way the shoot is styled, it goes perfect with the art deco vibe of our dress. The last photo is of Brittany Palmer who wore our Juno gown from our Empress Collection. We adore the photos and would love to share them with you!

Who I Am and Why I Wrote This Book
In 2004, I coauthored Unfit for Command: Swift Boat VeteransSpeak Out Against John Kerry, with Swift Boat veteran John O'Neill, ahighly successful attorney in Houston, Texas, and a longtime friend Ifirst met more than forty years ago, in college. In the 1960s, JohnO'Neill attended the U.S. Naval Academy while I was attending CaseWestern Reserve University and we competed in intercollegiate debate.
Unfit for Command was a critical analysis of John Kerry'smilitary service during the Vietnam War and his radical antiwar protestactivities as a lead spokesperson for the Vietnam Veterans Against theWar when he returned from Vietnam. Any implication that this book is a"Swift Boat" book is not accurate in that John O'Neill and the othermembers of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have had nothing to dowith this book, its analysis and arguments, or my opposition to BarackObama's 2008 presidential campaign.
My intent in writing this book, as was the case in coauthoringUnfit for Command, is to fully document all arguments and contentions Imake, extensively footnoting all references, so readers can determinefor themselves the truth and validity of the factual claims. Myfundamental opposition to Obama's presidential candidacy involvespublic policy differences. While Obama's three complete years in theSenate have given him remarkably little time on the national politicalstage, we still have enough information from his slim Senate record, aswell as his years in the Illinois state legislature, to see a patternof voting on the far left on a wide range of policy issues, includingabortion, taxes, illegal immigration, international trade, and nationalsecurity.
In this book, I intend to argue that an Obama presidency wouldlead us into an "Obama Nation." The play on words is fully intended,because Obama's radical leftist politics, driven by the cult ofpersonality he has intentionally manufactured, would be an abomination in that the result of those policies would be to lead the United Statesin a costly and self-destructive direction, both at home and abroad.After an Obama presidency, we would be a militarily weakened andeconomically diminished nation. Instead of being more united, ourinternal conflicts could well become more sharpened and more abrasivefrom four years of Obama leadership.
Obama has so doggedly positioned himself on the extreme leftthat it is doubtful he can credibly move to the political centerwithout alienating his Democratic Party supporters on that extreme leftas well as his youthful base. This, in many ways, was the liabilitySenator George McGovern faced in running against President RichardNixon in 1972. After McGovern won the nomination on a radical antiwarplatform, Nixon was able to show the vast majority of center-rightvoters that McGovern's policies spelled defeat in Vietnam, even thoughNixon himself withdrew from the war less than two years later.
In the race against Barack Obama in the general election, theRepublican Party will have a decided advantage because of theprolonged, acrimonious primary campaign Obama and Hillary Clinton wagedagainst each other in 2008. The Republican Party now has hours of videoready to be played back to American voters in campaign advertisements,repeating Clinton's and Obama's abrasive comments about the other.
Obama first drew my attention in 2004, when he stepped onto thenational political stage by addressing the Democratic NationalConvention that nominated Kerry for the presidency. My preliminarydecision to write this book was made in 2005, immediately after Obamawas sworn in to the U.S. Senate. Since he was a child, Obama has beenmaking statements that he intended to be president, and in 2005 Isuspected he would attempt to use the U.S. Senate as a stepping-stonefor the presidency.
So I began researching Obama and following him in the Senate;I'd frequently sit in the Senate gallery to observe him on the Senatefloor, and watched him on C-SPAN as he debated and voted onlegislation. I finalized the decision to write this book in March 2008,as Hillary Clinton continued her presidential campaign despite delegatenumbers that made it likely Obama would win the 2008 presidentialnomination in the Democratic Party. I calculated that publishing thebook before the Democratic National Convention would likely have animpact, even if Hillary beat the odds and ultimately won thenomination. Yet, I did not write the book to promote Hillary Clinton'scandidacy, nor did I publish it before the national nominatingconvention in the Democratic Party to assist her in getting thenomination on the convention floor. If Hillary Clinton were thenominee, I would oppose her too.
I have never been a registered member of the Republican orDemocratic Party, unless voting in some particular state primary overthe past forty years necessitated that result. The only political partyI ever consciously joined is the Constitution Party, of which I am aregistered member in the state of New Jersey, where I currently reside.Let me also clearly state that I am writing this book strictly toexamine and oppose Barack Obama, not to support Senator John McCain orany other Republican Party or third-party candidate for the presidency.
While I intend to vote in 2008 for Chuck Baldwin, thepresidential candidate of the Constitution Party, this book was begunbefore that party had chosen a 2008 presidential candidate and is notintended to be an argument for Chuck Baldwin. I also want to make clearthe Constitution Party asked me to run as its presidential candidate in2008, but I declined, preferring instead to remain with World NetDaily, where I am currently employed as a senior staff reporter.
Obama is running to be the nation's first African-Americanpresident. Since the 1960s, I have been studying and writing about U.S.racial relations. In all my writings on that subject, I have been astrong opponent of any form of racial violence and a strong advocatefor eliminating all forms of racial discrimination, inequality, andinjustice.
In 2006, I supported Ken Blackwell in his campaign as theRepublican candidate for governor of Ohio. Once again, my backgroundstudying racial relations was relevant, as Blackwell sought to be thefirst African-American governor of Ohio. Seeking to advance Blackwell's2006 gubernatorial campaign, I coauthored with him a book titledRebuilding America: A Prescription for Creating Strong Families,Building the Wealth of Working People, and Ending Welfare.
Many of my policy criticisms of Obama stem from argumentsinitially made with Ken Blackwell in writing Rebuilding America,especially the analysis of the importance of families in buildingmiddle-class wealth, reducing the incidence of teenage pregnancies, andalleviating poverty.
Blackwell, a conservative, had served in 2004 as Ohio'ssecretary of state, and so presided over his state's voting in the 2004presidential election, which George W. Bush narrowly won over JohnKerry. It was in Ohio that Bush secured the final electoral votesneeded to be elected president in yet another historically closecontest. I did not meet Blackwell or work with him in any capacityuntil 2005, months after the 2004 campaign was over.
My interest in U.S. racial politics dates back to my days as anundergraduate student in political science at Case Western ReserveUniversity, in Cleveland. As a political science student, I wrotepapers published in law journals on legal assistance for the poor andon the Detroit race riots of 1967. The Hough Riots in Cleveland in 1966led me to coauthor, with two Case Western Reserve professors, a booktitled A Time To Burn? This was one of the first college textbooks onracial relations that used the race riots of the 1960s as a centralfocus of analysis. In 1966, I also studied Reverend Jesse Jackson'sefforts to bring "Operation Breadbasket," begun by Reverend MartinLuther King's Southern Christian Leadership Council, to Chicago.
In 1967, while completing my senior year at Case WesternReserve, I worked full-time in downtown Cleveland with Edward Howard& Co., one of the nation's first public relations firms (it wasestablished in 1925). I was an assistant to William Silverman, Jr., thevice president, who served as public relations manager for Seth Taft,the Republican Party candidate opposing Democrat Carl B. Stokes to bemayor of Cleveland.
My duties at Edward Howard & Co. during the Stokes-Taftrace included bird-dogging Carl Stokes in the field by following him onhis public appearances and reporting back the contents of his speechesand any relevant information regarding attendees, crowd size, andaudience reaction. My work was fully disclosed to the Stokes campaignand I was welcomed at virtually every Carl Stokes campaign event Ichose to attend. I observed Reverend King in Cleveland as he visitedthe city to aid in a voter registration drive and campaign for Stokesin 1967. On November 7, 1967, Stokes was elected the firstAfrican-American mayor of a major U.S. city.
On July 23, 1968, in my last summer in Cleveland before movingto Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was a gun battle between AhmedEvans, an African-American militant, along with his armed followers,and the Cleveland police in Glenville, an inner-city neighborhood. Theshooting went on for an hour and a half, leaving seven people dead andfifteen wounded. Fifteen of the casualties were policemen. For the nextfive days, a riot flared in Glenville and the surrounding East Sidecommunities; the burning and looting were typical of 1960s race riots.
In my first year at Harvard University, where I was pursuing aPh.D. in political science, I coauthored with Louis H. Masotti, Ph.D.,a report titled "Shoot-Out in Cleveland. Black Militants and thePolice: July 23, 1968." The report, then widely known as the "MasottiReport," was published as a staff report to the Eisenhower Commission,formally known as the National Commission on the Causes and Preventionof Violence, as well as in two commercially published editions. I hadstudied under Masotti at Case Western Reserve both as a politicalscience student and as a research associate at the Civil ViolenceResearch Center, which Masotti headed.
As part of my studies at Harvard, I continued researchingracial violence, student protests, and the antiwar movement as aresearch associate at the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence atBrandeis University. One of my projects involved studying the widerange of civil rights and protest literature of that time. For example,at Harvard Square in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, the BlackMuslims frequently distributed such literature, including free copiesof their newspaper. A subfocus of that study became the anti-Semiticdiatribes the Black Muslim movement launched at Jews. I initially foundthe harsh feelings surprising; my assumption had been that oppressedAfrican-Americans and Jews would be sympathetic to one another; theJews have suffered centuries of their own oppression. While we foundaffinity between the intellectual views of Jews on the political leftand the anger of African- American radicals, we also found antipathy inthe black communities toward Jewish shop owners, who often becamevictims of burning and looting in urban race riots.
The Lemberg Center was where I conducted my first field studiesof John Kerry and his participation with Vietnam Veterans Against theWar. I personally observed various race riots, student demonstrations,and antiwar protests, and examined the literature that was distributedat these events as explanation and political justification.
In 1980 and 1981, after the takeover of the U.S. Embassy inTehran, I was recruited as a political scientist by the U.S. Agency forInternational Development to assist the State Department on apsychiatrist-led team that had been organized to teach hostage survivalskills to U.S. embassy employees and staff worldwide. For this work, Ireceived a Top Secret security clearance. The project was led bypsychiatrist David Hubbard, a noted expert on skyjacking. My workincluded extensive psychological research and training, withinstruction from Dr. Hubbard. I analyzed prison interview transcriptsand films of a variety of convicted felons, including bank robbers,rapists, and terrorists.
By 1982, I had left academia to pursue a career in financialservices that continues to this day. After coauthoring Unfit forCommand, I decided to devote the majority of my time to writing aboutpolitics. As a Senior Staff Reporter for World Net Daily, I investigateand write about a wide range of issues, including the economy, oilpolicy, trade agreements, foreign affairs, and domestic politics. Oneor more of my articles are published nearly every day.
Islam is part of this book, both in examining Obama'sbackground and in looking at policy areas including Islamic terrorismand our relations with Iran. I have been studying and writing aboutterrorism and Islamic extremism for over twenty-five years. Thisincludes a game theoretic analysis of terrorism published by a notedjournal at Yale University.
I have written or co-written two books on Iran: Atomic Iran andShowdown with Nuclear Iran. In the preface to Atomic Iran, I went onrecord supporting Islam as a genuine and important religion, with morethan one billion believers throughout the world. I also acknowledgedthe proud three-thousand-year history of Iran, carefully distinguishingmy opposition to the radical terrorists and clerics controlling thecurrent Islamic Republic of Iran. I have opposed the United States' orIsrael's going to war with Iran, arguing instead that we should supportthe millions of Iranian expatriates around the world and the thousandsof brave freedom fighters within Iran who seek to bring true liberty totheir country peacefully.
Finally, let me clearly state that this book has been writtensolely on my initiative. There has been no attempt made, nor will therebe any attempt made, to communicate the shape or contents of this bookwith anyone in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, theConstitution Party, or in any third party with a candidate running forthe presidency.
In contrast to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama has not beenvetted, not even by Democrats. Even today he is largely an unknown toall but a small handful of dogged political professionals and aconcentrated core of political junkies who inhabit Internet blogs.Thus, in this book I have pursued Obama's extensive connections withIslam and with radical racial politics, including those articulated bysuch extremists as Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, in order to bringthese issues from the shadows where Obama has tried to keep themhidden. For this same reason, I have pursued Obama's extensive andcontinuing connections with Kenya, the homeland of his father, whereObama has continued to involve himself personally in advancing thegoals of Raila Odinga, the radical socialist presidential contender whocomes from Obama's home tribe. Even for Obama, his past is prelude, ina political world where voters legitimately see character as animportant predictor of policy.
Hence, I also document Obama's emergence in Chicago politicsthrough the Saul Alinsky school of radical community organizing.Alinsky used the battle cry of "Change" as a code word for a socialistredistribution of wealth. I have also examined Obama's involvement inthe slum landlord empire of Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko. Ireported questions about Rezko's use of a loan from Nadhmi Auchi, aMiddle Eastern financial intermediary, to help Obama finance thepurchase of his dream-home property in Chicago.
The nation went into 2008 with a struggling economy and acontinuing war in the Middle East. Radical Islamic terrorist enemiescontinue to plot our demise, while growing numbers of largely Hispanicillegal immigrants, many of them still citizens of their homecountries, including Mexico, live in our midst with no firm purpose orrequirement to become American citizens. Meanwhile, urbanAfrican-American poverty has become generational and persistent,hardened by the continuance of an alarming rate of teenage pregnanciesand abortions. These problems of racial disadvantage have not beendiminished by more than four decades of well-intentioned butineffective welfare-state programs that many would argue have actuallybeen counterproductive. I will argue that the policies reflected inObama's legislative history or suggested in his presidential campaignare nothing more than a rerun of far-leftist solutions that have beentried many times but to no avail.
Obama's life story, a subject Obama himself put on the agendaby writing an autobiography, is relevant only to the extent itilluminates public policy goals and objectives Obama is likely topursue. In the final analysis, what I seek to prevent by writing thisbook is an Obama presidency that would represent nothing more than arepeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized andplagued Democratic Party presidential politics since the late 1960s.With Obama, the leftist political correctness enforced by his campaignhas even intervened to prevent anyone from using his middle name, whichhappens to be Hussein.
Put simply, the argument here is that Barack Obama is more of aMichael Dukakis, a George McGovern, a Jimmy Carter, or a John Kerrythan he is a Franklin Delano Roosevelt or even a John F. Kennedy.
