Is the use of EMS(electrical muscle stimulation) a form of doping?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we discussed electrical stimulation of the body. There are EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) devices that allow the user to stimulate and contract specific muscles by sending electrical impulses via electrode pads. EMS is sometimes used in competitive sports to increase exercise tolerance and manipulate the behavior of muscles favorably.
In 2011, a study revealed that EMS may enhance pitching performance and recovery in baseball. Without EMS, pitchers need to find a balance between resting and active exercise. With EMS, blood can continuously flow into the muscles, reducing the risk of exhaustion. There are other studies that show positive effects of EMS on athletic performance such as helping athletes stay warmed up without fatiguing the muscles, while the validity of these claims have not been confirmed. There are coaches that use EMS training on elite athletes who compete in the Olympics.
I'd like to pose a question, is the use of EMS in competitive sports a form of doping? While eating healthy or regular exercise can shape and improve an athlete's performance, the use of EMS seems to be a more direct and invasive way of making the athlete's body more fit for the sport. If the EMS technology advances enough to the extent where it can significantly improve athletic performance, do you think it is legitimate or fair to use EMS in competitive sports?

peter lindsay 50+Mar 6 2013: The whole concept of "doping" really came out of the Russian and East German programs of the 70s and 80s. Initially it was about stopping athletes doing things that are dangerous to their health. eg Taking so many steroids your kidneys stop working. Really I think the pursuit of dopers because they aren't playing fair is a fools errand. Remember there was a time when olympians had to be amateurs, as professionals cheated by doing all that training when they should be at work. To me it would make much more sense to ban things on the basis of health risk as it is much easier to quantify than whether something is "fair".
On the specific question I don't see EMS as any different to altitude training or rehydration by drip.
Kyung Lee
Mar 12 2013: I tend to agree here.
The term "doping" is thrown around so much these days that the qualifications for "doping" are almost lost. "Doping" should really be saved for bans on things that hurt the human body. EMS certainly does not do that as far as we know right now. But is it fair for certain athletes to have such a competitive edge while others do not? Its hard to say. I think its important to keep in mind that both natural athletes and doping athletes both put in tremendous effort to be the best they can at what they do. An example of this would be bodybuilding. There exist "natural/drug-free" tested bodybuilding federations as well as non-tested ones. Here, the athletes understand what they are partaking in and there exists a fair playing ground for the natural and the doping athletes.

The coast from Sydney north to Queensland is more densely populated and much more touristy than its southern counterpart, with popular holiday destinations such as Port Stephens, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour strung along the coast north of Newcastle. Since the 1970s, the area around Byron Bay has been a favoured destination for people seeking an alternative lifestyle; this movement has left in its wake not only disillusioned hippie farmers (as well as a few who've survived with their illusions intact), but also a firmly established artistic and alternative scene.
As in the south, the coastline consists of myriad inlets, bays and coastal lakes, interspersed with white, sandy beaches and rocky promontories. Parallel to the coast are the rocky plateaus of the Great Dividing Range, whose national parks provide bushwalkers with remote, rugged terrain to explore. Numerous streams tumble down from the escarpment in mighty waterfalls, creating fertile river valleys where the predominant agricultural activity is cattle breeding; in the north, subtropical and tropical agriculture takes over, especially the cultivation of bananas. In essence, the further you go, the better this coast gets. Getting up the north coast is easy, with frequent train and bus services between Sydney and Brisbane, as well as a number of local bus services.Read More
Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie
The fast-growing town of PORT MACQUARIE, at the mouth of the Hastings River, has a beautiful natural setting. Long, sandy beaches extend far along the coast, while the hinterland is dotted with forests, mountains and pretty towns. The town was established in 1821 as a place of secondary punishment for convicts who continued their criminal ways after arrival in New South Wales, though by the late 1820s the penal settlement was closed and the area opened up to free settlers. An increasing number of independent travellers call into "Port", but it remains primarily a family-focused resort. The activities on offer are really the thing here, with wildlife and nature parks, cruises on the Hastings River, horseriding and, above all, watersports all vying for your attention.
The bewitching town of BELLINGEN is one of the prettiest and most characterful spots in New South Wales. The colourful Tibetan prayer flags fluttering throughout the town hint at Bellingen's alternative bent, confirmed once you stick your head inside one of the many esoteric bookshops, kooky cafés, or arts and crafts galleries. Most people come to "Bello" for a day-trip and end up staying a week.
Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour
COFFS HARBOUR – or "Coffs'' – is beautifully set at a point where the mountains of the Great Dividing Range fall into the South Pacific Ocean, and boasts glorious expanses of white sand to the north. The town itself, though far less pretty, is a lot of fun, with tons of outdoor activities. Offshore, the Solitary Islands are notable for diving, with fringing coral reefs and a plethora of fish, while migrating whales pass by between late May and late November.
Byron Bay
Byron Bay
Situated at the end of a long, sweeping bay, the vibrant township of BYRON BAY boasts 30km of almost unbroken sandy beaches and is high on most travellers' lists. The area is popular with surfers partly because its beaches face in all directions, so there's almost always one with a good swell; conversely, you can usually find somewhere for a calmer swim.
Once a favourite with barefoot hippies, Byron's small-community feel and bohemian atmosphere have been disappearing over the past few years, and it now has stylish hotels, restaurants and bars, lively pubs and chic boutiques. The town also offers a huge variety of alternative therapies, New Age bookshops, crystals, palmists and tarot readers – all with a good dose of capitalism, as prices are hiked up during the lucrative summer months. The alternative culture attracts artists and artisans in droves, and galleries and artists' studios abound.

Treasure of the Peacock's Eye | Winds of Change | Mystery of the Blues
Young Indy Home
Working as a translator, Indy assists the victors of World War I as they determine the fate of the world and the 20th Century at the Paris Peace Conference. Indy watches with old friend, T.E. Lawrence, as the Treaty of Versailles goes from being a peaceful reconciliation to a document of revenge and hate. Despite Arnold Toynbee's disappointment with the shortcomings of the new treaty and warning of imminent future war, the allied leaders force the Weimar Republic to accept total blame for World War I and sign the treaty. Disillusioned with the state of Europe, Indy returns to America where he faces new challenges with love, his father, and racism.

The Treaty of Versailles was the peace agreement drafted by the allied powers at the conclusion of WWI. Allied leaders hoped to draft a peace that would end war forever, however, the hatred and punishment that resulted from the treaty failed to create a "lasting peace." In fact, the treaty paved the very road that led to the rise of Fascism, Adolf Hitler, and ultimately World War II.

The Best Intentions: The Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles
In May 1919, six months after the end of the Great War in Europe, a French train departed from Berlin, carrying the German delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. The victors decided to meet in Paris to begin the daunting task of rebuilding the world and making a lasting peace settlement with Germany. In a clash of personalities and agendas, facing unimaginable circumstances, the world's leaders met for six months to try to deliver that promise. But just a few years later, their plan for peace would unravel, catapulting the world toward the very tragedy they had wanted to prevent... Was it their fault? Or was it inevitable?

Woodrow Wilson: American Idealist
In 1913, 56 year old Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated President of the United States. He came to the job with little practical experience. Still, he arrived in Washington confident, determined to change America. Just over a year after he assumed office, World War I swept across Europe, and Wilson became committed to not just changing the United States, but to changing the world. Although Wilson didn't live long enough to see his dream of lasting international cooperation become reality, decades after his death, in the somber aftermath of World War II, his ideals once again took center stage.

Gertrude Bell: Iraq's Uncrowned Queen
On March 20, 2003, the United States invaded Iraq. Saddam Hussein, the dictator who'd controlled this nation for nearly 25 years was deposed. Many Iraqis celebrated this turning point. However, before long the troops the Iraqis had greeted as liberators were viewed as occupiers. This wasn't the first time these scenes had played out on the streets of Baghdad. In the aftermath of World War I, the British faced nearly the same situation when they took control. One of those challenged was a fiercely independent archaeologist, map-maker and intelligence officer who'd come to know the region as few westerners had. Her name was Gertrude Bell. Produced and Written by Adam Sternberg.

Ho Chi Minh: The Price of Freedom
In the summer of 1966, the United States found itself in a war it couldn't win, against an enemy it didn't understand. For the Americans, it was a war against Communism. But for the Vietnamese, it was a war to break free from centuries of foreign oppression. At this pivotal moment in their history, they were led by one man who would stop at nothing to free his people. They called him Uncle Ho. To the rest of the world, he was Ho Chi Minh. Millions of Vietnamese would pay the price for Ho Chi Minh's vision of a free Vietnam. A vision that was as bold as it was unbreakable. Produced by Karena O'Riordan. Written by Karena O'Riordan and Mike Welt.

Paul Robeson: Scandalize My Name
Paul Robeson was great at everything he did. And he did a lot: an acclaimed singer, actor, all-American football player, Ivy-league educated lawyer, prize-winning orator. Robeson spoke over a dozen languages in a bass-baritone voice that moved people. But when Robeson used that voice to disagree with the political establishment, people turned on him.

A light rain was falling on the evening of 2 April 1917 as Woodrow Wilson was driven from the White House to Capitol Hill, escorted by a unit of the United States cavalry, to address a specially convened joint session of Congress. According to contemporary accounts, the 28th president looked pale and nervous. But his words betrayed not the slightest doubt or hesitancy.
World War One is remembered as the first industrial war. A clash of furnace and factory as much as flesh and blood. The chimneys and cranes of this war machine consumed landscapes across Europe. And few were more dominated than the 12 miles of the River Tyne, from the North Sea to the west of Newcastle, devoted to building the world's ships. It is estimated more than three million tonnes of shipping were built in the yards here, on the nearby River Wear and in other north east yards, from 1914 to 1918.
These days, however, Big Pit digs tourism, not coal; the party descending into the earth are American visitors. There are no working deep-mines remaining in South Wales; already in decline, the area's coalfield was annihilated in the wake of the 1984-5 Miners' Strike, the names of the closed collieries to toll like funeral bells. Mardy. Tower. Deep Navigation. Markham. Lady Windsor. How black was my valley a century ago, on the eve of the Great War, when there were a dozen collieries within sight, and another 600 coal mines across South Wales, employing 232,000 men, who hewed 57 million tons a year, a fifth of the entire output of the United Kingdom. The very earth vibrated to the metronomic percussion of thousands of subterranean men wielding the pick. Coal for the Navy. Coal for industry. Coal for locomotives. Coal for homes.
Movie legends including Charlie Chaplin, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg have attempted to tackle the First World War, but while some have achieved Oscars and box-office success, others have delayed peace talks and enraged renowned world leaders. One of the most famous films, A Farewell to Arms (1932), directed by Frank Borzage, has been digitally restored and is due for re-release in UK cinemas tomorrow.
1 HORATIO KITCHENER As the first British troops marched whistling off to the front in autumn 1914 the cliche of the hour was: "It'll be all over by Christmas." An experienced campaigner on three continents, Horatio Kitchener from Ballylongford, Co Kerry, knew it would be a long haul. As Secretary of State for War he put together the largest volunteer army the world had ever seen, and put industrial production on an efficient war footing.
The National Archives currently has in its collection 1.5 million pages of handwritten diaries kept by soldiers of World War I. They're some of the most requested documents in the National Archives reading room, but until now have been accessible only to anyone who's made the trip to D.C. But now the archivisits are working to put them online, and you can help them. The project is called Operation War Diary, and it comes from a partnership between the National Archives, the citizen science initiative Zooniverse and the Imperial War Museum in the UK. The diaries have all been scanned and posted online for citizen historians to look at and transcribe. According to the project: "The war diaries contain a wealth of information of far greater interest than the army could ever have predicted. They provide unrivalled insight into daily events on the front line, and are full of fascinating detail about the decisions that were made and the activities that resulted from them."
No one nation deserves all responsibility for the outbreak of war, but Germany seems to me to deserve most. It alone had power to halt the descent to disaster at any time in July 1914 by withdrawing its "blank cheque" which offered support to Austria for its invasion of Serbia. I'm afraid I am unconvinced by the argument that Serbia was a rogue state which deserved its nemesis at Austria's hands. And I do not believe Russia wanted a European war in 1914 - its leaders knew that it would have been in a far stronger position to fight two years later, having completed its rearmament programme.
On the cobbled streets of industrial Sheffield an Indian elephant dutifully lumbered along. Her task was important - she had to cart munitions, machines and scrap metal around the city, a job previously done by three horses taken off to war. Lizzie - as she was known - was used to performing tricks as part of a travelling menagerie. But with the outbreak of World War One she was conscripted to help with heavy labour, fitted with a harness and sent to work at a scrap metal merchants.
British archaeologists recently discovered more than 40 German U-boats sunk during World War I off the coast of England. Now they are in a race against time to learn the secrets hidden in their watery graves. On the old game show "What's My Line?" Briton Mark Dunkley might have been described with the following words: "He does what many adventurers around the world can only dream of doing." Dunkley is an underwater archeologist who dives for lost treasures. His most recent discoveries were anything if not eerie.
When the First World War began, in the summer of 1914, the Lusitania was among the most glamorous and celebrated ships in the world—at one time both the largest and fastest afloat. But the British passenger liner would earn a far more tragic place in history on May 7, 1915, when it was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland, with the loss of nearly 1,200 lives.

GREELEY – Northern Colorado freshmen Henry Chirino and Travis Himmelman recently traveled to Akron, Ohio to compete in the 2012 ASICS University Greco-Roman Nationals.
Both wrestlers finished third to qualify for the Greco-Roman University World Team Trials which will take place on August 17-18 in Colorado Springs at Palmer High School.
Greco-Roman is one of the two Olympic styles of wrestling, along with freestyle. In Greco-Roman wrestling, competitors use only their arms and upper bodies to attack. They can hold only those same parts of their opponents. In 1904, a second wrestling event was added to the Olympic programme, called "freestyle". In this style, wrestlers can use their legs for pushing, lifting and tripping, and they can hold opponents above or below the waist.
The University Championships are specific to College Athletes born in 1986 or earlier who are actively enrolled in an educational institution.
Chirino competed in the 120 kilogram weight class (264 pounds). He defeated Zack Wilcox from MWC 1-0, 1-0 in the first round before losing 2-0, 1-0 to NYAC's Toby Erickson in the semifinals. Erickson went on to win the title. Chirino bounced back for a 2-0, 2-0 decision over Jared Erickson from the Falcon Training Club and again beat Wilcox for third place, with an identical 1-0, 1-0 decision.
Himmelman redshirted for the Bears this season and competed over the weekend at 66 KG (145.5 pounds). He dropped his opening match to eventual champion, Nick Alvarez, before coming back to win his final three bouts to finish in third place. In the second round, Himmelman won a 5-0, 3-0 decision over Logan Burch from the Falcon Training Club. He then defeated Carter McElhany from the same club 2-0, 3-1 before winning a 3-0, 5-1 decision over James Hogan (ATWA) for third place.

Terrorist threat in Iraq emerges at importune moment for Copts.
CAIRO, Egypt, November 22 (CDN) — As bombings and other attacks continue against Christians in Iraq, Christians in Egypt have gathered to pray and plan for their own safety.
When a group of Islamic extremists on Oct. 31 burst into Our Lady of Salvation church in Baghdad during evening mass and began spraying the sanctuary with gunfire, the militant organization that took responsibility said Christians in Egypt also would be targeted if its demands were not met. Taking more than 100 congregants hostage, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) called a television station and stated that the assault came in response to the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt allegedly holding two Coptic women against their will who, the ISI and some others believe, converted to Islam.
The group issued a 48-hour deadline for the release of the women, and when the deadline passed it issued a statement that, "All Christian centers, organizations and institutions, leaders and followers are legitimate targets for the muhajedeen [Muslim fighters] wherever they can reach them." The statement later added ominously, "We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood."
In the attack and rescue attempt that followed, 58 people were reportedly killed. A week and a half later, Islamic extremists killed four people in a series of coordinated attacks against Christians in Baghdad and its surrounding suburbs. The attackers launched mortar rounds and planted makeshift bombs outside Christian homes and one church. At least one attack was made against the family members of one of the victims of the original attack.
On Nov. 15, gunmen entered two Christian homes in Mosul and killed two men in the house. The next day, a Christian and his 6-year-old daughter were killed in a car bombing. At the same time, another bomb exploded outside the home of a Christian, damaging the house but leaving the residents uninjured, according to CNN.
The threats against Christians caused a flurry of activity at churches in Egypt. A 35-year-old Protestant who declined to give her name said Christians in Cairo have unified in prayer meetings about the threats. An SMS text message was sent out through prayer networks asking people to meet, she said.
"I know people are praying now," she said. "We have times for our people to pray, so all of us are praying."
Security has increased at churches throughout Egypt. In Cairo, where the presence of white-uniformed security police is ubiquitous, the number of uniformed and plain-clothes officers has doubled at churches. High-ranking police officers shuffle from one house of worship to another monitoring subordinates and enforcing new security rules. At times, parking on the same side of the street as a church building, or even driving by one, has been forbidden.
On Nov. 8, leaders from the Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox churches gathered to discuss how to improve security at churches. According to the leaders of several churches, the government asked pastors to cancel unessential large-scale public meetings. Pope Shenouda III canceled a celebration to commemorate the 39th anniversary of his installment as the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Guests at a recent outdoor Christmas bazaar and a subsequent festival at the All-Saints Cathedral in Zamalek
were greeted with pat-downs, metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs.
Some church leaders, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the security improvements are haphazard, while others say they are genuine efforts to ensure the safety of Christians.
Most Christians in Cairo avoided answering any questions about the attacks in Iraq or the threats made against Christians in Egypt. But Deliah el-Sowkary, a Coptic Orthodox woman in her 20s, said she hoped no attacks would happen in her country. Noting the security present at all churches, still she said she is not that worried.
"I think it's different in Egypt than in Baghdad, it's more safe here," El-Sowkary said.
Almost a week after the bombings, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak issued a statement through the state-run MENA news agency that the Copts would be protected from attacks.
"The president affirmed his extensive solicitude for the protection of the nation's sons, Muslims and Copts, from the forces of terrorism and extremism," the agency stated.
Pressure Cooker
The security concerns came against a backdrop of heightened tensions between the Muslim majority and the Coptic Christian minority over the past few months, with weeks of protests against Christians in general and against Shenouda specifically. The protests, held mostly in Alexandria, ended two weeks ago.
The tension started after the wife of a Coptic priest, Camilia Zakher, disappeared in July. According to government sources and published media reports, Zakher left her home after a heated argument with her husband. But Coptic protestors, who started gathering to protest at churches after Zakher disappeared, claimed she had been kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam.
Soon after, Egypt's State Security Intelligence (SSI) officers found her at the home of a friend. Despite stating she had left of her own free will, authorities brought Zakher back to her husband. Since then, Zakher has been in seclusion. It is unclear where she is or if she remains there of her own free will.
Unconfirmed rumors began spreading that Zakher had converted to Islam and was being held against her will to force her to return to Christianity. Protests outside mosques after Friday prayers became weekly events. Protestors produced a photo of unknown origin of a woman in Islamic covering whom they claimed was Zakher. In response, Coptic authorities released a video in which the priest's wife stated that she wasn't a Muslim nor ever had been.
Another rumor began circulating that Zakher went to Al-Azhar University, one of the primary centers of Islamic learning in the world, to convert to Islam. But Al-Azhar, located in Cairo, released a statement that no such thing ever happened.
No independent media interviews of Zakher have taken place because, according to the Coptic Church, the SSI has ordered church officials not to allow public access to her. Along with their accusations about Zakher, protestors also claimed, without evidence, that a similar thing happened in 2004 to Wafa Constantine, also the wife of a Coptic Orthodox priest. Constantine was the second woman the ISI demanded the Copts "release." Like Zakher, her location is not public knowledge.
The month after the Zakher incident, Egyptian media reported in error that the SSI had seized a ship from Israel laden with explosives headed for the son of an official of the Coptic Orthodox church. The ship was later found to be carrying fireworks, but another set of Islamic leaders, led in part by Nabih Al-Wahsh, an attorney famous for filing lawsuits designed to damage the church, declared without any evidence that Copts were allied with the Israelis and stockpiling weapons in the basements
of their churches with plans to overthrow the Muslim majority.
The claims were echoed on Al-Jazeera by Dr. Muhammad Salim Al-'Awa, the former secretary-general of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and in a statement issued by the Front of Religious Scholars, a group of academics affiliated with Al-Azhar University.
There was no time for tensions to cool after Al-'Awa and the others leveled their allegations. The next month, Bishop Anba Bishoy, the secretary of the Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church, told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masri Al-Yawm that Muslims were "guests" in Egypt, inflaming a Muslim population already up in arms.
"The Copts are the root of the land," the bishop said. "We love the guests who came and settled in our land, and regard them as brothers, but they want to control even our churches? I reject anything that harms the Muslims, but as Christians we will do everything, even die as martyrs, if someone tries to harm our Christian mission."
Around the same time, the Front of Religious Scholars called for a complete boycott of Christians in Egypt. The group called Christians "immoral," labeled them "terrorists" and said Muslims should not patronize their businesses or even say "hello" to them.
The statement by the scholars was followed by a media leak about a lecture Bishoy was scheduled to give at a conference for Orthodox clergy. In his presentation, Bishoy planned on questioning the authorship of a verse in the Quran that calls Christians "blasphemers." Muslims believe that an angel revealed the Quran to Muhammad, Islam's prophet, who transmitted it word-by-word to his followers. Bishoy contended there was a possibility the verse in question was added later.
The mosque protests became even more virulent, and the conference was abruptly cancelled. Bishoy was forced to issue an apology, saying he never meant to cast doubt on Islam and called Muslims "partners" with the Copts in Egypt. Shenouda also issued an apology on national television. By comparison, an Islamic publishing house that rewrote and then issued what it termed the "true Bible" caused barely a stir.
Al-'Awa then blamed the deteriorating state of Muslim-Christian relations on Shenouda and Bishoy. He accused the Coptic Orthodox Church of exploiting the government's "weak stance" toward it and "incarcerating anyone [who] is not to its liking."
The Al-Azhar Academy of Islamic Research issued a statement that declared, "Egypt is a Muslim state." The statement further went on to read that the Christians' rights were contingent on their acceptance of the "Islamic identity" of Egypt. The statement was endorsed by Ali Gum'a, the mufti of Egypt.
The statement also referenced an agreement made between Muhammad and a community of Egyptian Christians in the seventh century as the guiding document on how Christians should be governed in a Muslim-dominated state. If ever codified into Egyptian law as many Muslims in Egypt desire, it would legally cement the status of Christians in the country as second-class citizens.
In 639, seven years after Muhammad died, Muslim armies rode across from Syria and Palestine and invaded Egypt, then controlled by the Byzantines. At first the Muslims, then a new but well-armed minority within Egypt, treated the conquered Christians relatively well by seventh century standards. But within a generation, they began the Islamization of the country, demanding all official business be conducted in Arabic, the language of the Quran, and Coptic and Jewish residents were forced to pay special taxes and obey rules designed to reaffirm their second-class status.
In the centuries since then, the treatment of Christians in Egypt has ebbed and flowed depending on the whim of those in power. After the coup of 1952, in which a group of men known as the Free Officers' Movement took power from a European-backed monarch, Copts have seen their treatment decline.
In 1971, then-President Anwar Sadat introduced a new constitution designating Islamic law as "a principle source of legislation" in Egypt. In 1980, the National Assembly made Islam the official religion of the state.
Estimates of the Coptic population range from 7 to 12 percent of Egypt's 84 million people. They are accepted by some in Egypt and openly discriminated against by others. Violent attacks against Christians – which the government does little to prevent – accentuate tensions.
The state also routinely harasses converts to Christianity from Islam. Many have to live in some sort of hiding.
The Protestant woman said she was not sure whether attacks would happen in response to the threats, but whatever happens, she said she expects that Christians in Egypt will continue to endure persecution.
"According to the Bible, we know this is going to happen," she said. "This is not new or novel for us. The Bible said that we will be persecuted. It is expected."
Report from Compass Direct News
Members of a home-based church in the city of Ahvaz are very concerned about their detained member and have reported that after more than a month from his arrest there are no precise information about his condition, reports FCNN.
According to the reports received by the Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN) from the city of Ahvaz, the capital city of the rich petroleum province of Khoozestan in the Southwestern part of Iran, members of a home-based church have informed this news network that more than a month ago one of their members, Neshan Saeedi, has been detained and there are no specific information regarding his condition. This has caused serious worry and concern for the members of the church as well as his family and friends.
The 27 years old Mr. " Neshan Saeedi" , on July 24, 2010 at 9:00 pm, while spending a quiet evening with his wife and young daughter at their home at the Golestan neighborhood of Ahvaz, was attacked by plain-clothes security forces that had entered his house and was arrested.
The security officers searched the home and seized personal belongings such as a computer, CDs containing films of Christian seminars and teachings, Christian books and Bibles, and family photo albums.
Following a rude and intimidating encounter with the security personnel the entire family was then taken to Chaharshir detention center in Ahvaz where after several hours of questioning and harsh interrogation the wife and the 6 years old daughter of Mr. Saeedi were released, but no one has been given permission to contact Mr. Saeedi himself.
The security officers not only insulted the wife of Mr. Saeedi, but indicated that they were apostates and not worthy of raising their 6 years old daughter. They threatened her that if they continue in their Christian activities they may lose their right to her daughter.
They were also accused of threatening the national security of the country and anti-government activities. They were told that they were spies of foreign powers and were leading people to pro-Israel ideology.
The members of the home-based church who fellowshipped with Mr. Saeedi and his wife, out of fear for their lives and the possibility of further arrests and persecution, have since scattered and dismantled the fellowship. It seems that the security agents are desperately seeking two other leaders of this church by the names of Ebi and Omid and are following all leads to pursue and arrest them. Members of this church, who call themselves Unity Church (movahedin) , in their contact with FCNN indicated that not only they are worried about the arrest of their assistant pastor, Neshan Saeedi, but fear further arrests and detentions.
One of the members of the church told FCNN that Mr. Saeedi is one of the older Christians in Ahvaz and he accepted the Lord Jesus as his savior many years ago. During all these years he has been a man of prayer and a worshipper in the house church in Ahvaz. Now, a month after his arrest and detention there has been no permission granted to him to retain a lawyer or contact his family. Moreover, he is under extreme pressure to reveal the names of his church members and to admit his affiliation with foreign powers and his acceptance of financial and other forms of help from them.
The members of the Unity Church (movahedin) not only deny any affiliation and connection to any external organization and foreign powers, but have resorted to exposing this news through FCNN to international media in hope that through prayers and other humanitarian efforts Mr. Saeedi would be released and rejoin his worried and hopeful family.
Report from the Christian Telegraph
Body destroyed before being identified; police try to link him with poachers.
NEW DELHI, June 14 (CDN) — A pastor in Assam state was murdered and cremated without being identified last month before family members learned of his death when they saw a photo of his body in a newspaper.
The body of Son Englang, 35, was recovered alongside National Highway 37 on May 20, with marks indicating his hands had been tightly bound before he was shot. The pastor from Mallasi village, Karbi Anglong, supported by Gospel for Asia (GFA), had reportedly been kidnapped early in the morning of the previous day as he rode his bicycle to the Bokakhat marketplace to buy paint materials for his nearly completed church building.
The unknown kidnappers, suspected Hindu extremists, reportedly took him to the jungle to kill him.
Local police took his body to a hospital in Golaghat, where he was cremated without being identified after three days.
"The hospital along with the local police cremated Pastor Englang's 'unclaimed body,' as there is a provision in the hospital of holding a body for a maximum of three days," said the Rev. Juby John, Karbi Anglong diocesan secretary of GFA.
News of his death reached his family four days after he was killed when they saw a photo of his body published on May 22 in local newspapers reporting him as unidentified.
"With great difficulty, his photo could be recognized," said John. "It was a semi-decomposed body. Pastor Englang's brother with a few villagers identified him and then informed the pastor's wife."
John told Compass that Pastor Englang had evangelized in the Daithor area for 14 years, and "many, many people came to the Lord because of his extensive evangelism."
Anti-Christian elements in the area likely had taken note of Pastor Englang's fearless evangelism and the church building on the verge of completion, John said.
"Pastor Englang gave me a phone call just three days before he went missing," John said. "He was very happy and excited about the completion of the church building and said it was his dream come true."
Along with his wife, Pastor Englang is survived by a 6-month-old son and a 3-year-old daughter.
He had served with GFA since 1996, ministering in Karbi Anglong, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the site where his body was recovered.
Local media reported his death along with those of three poachers who had illegally entered Kaziranga National Park to hunt rhinoceros and were shot by park guards. The bodies of the three poachers were recovered from the park the same day that police found Pastor Englang dead on the highway.
Strangely, police reported Pastor Englang as a poacher accompanying the three who were killed inside the wildlife park. Investigations are underway regarding the suspicious claim, resulting in the arrest of a park guard and a local policeman.
False Report
Questioned by media, police were unable to explain why Pastor Englang was included with the poachers given the large distance between his body and the three recovered inside the park. They were also unable to explain the marks of binding on Pastor Englang's hands.
"There was no weapon discovered on the pastor, whereas there were ammunitions recovered from the trespassers," John told local newspapers.
John emphasized that Pastor Englang worked day and night on the construction of his church building for the past five months.
"He had nothing to do with the poacher case," he said. "I spoke to the villagers and his close associates, who absolutely denied any kind of involvement of the pastor even in the past. The villagers emphasized the good character and blameless record of the pastor."
John said he went to visit Pastor Englang's family and the church building under construction on May 24.
"The laborers working on the church construction, who personally had nothing to do with Son Englang, wept as I spoke to them about the pastor," he said. "His death was sudden and untimely."
Hindu extremists have a presence in the state. Hemanta Das, a 29-year-old Christian worker whom Hindu extremists had warned to stop his ministry, succumbed to injuries in a hospital on July 1, 2007, two days after extremists beat him in the Chand Mari area of Guwahati. A convert to Christianity from Hinduism, Das previously had been a supporter of the Hindu extremist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
The All India Christian Council (AICC) later wrote to state officials requesting that those who killed Das be arrested and the Christian minority community protected from such attacks. AICC noted that Hindu extremist groups had warned Das of "dire consequences" if he continued preaching Christ.
At that time the Rev. Madhu Chandra, an AICC leader from northeast India, told Compass the presence of Hindu extremist groups in the state was very high.
"When I was working with a Christian organization in the state till a few years ago, many of our workers would be attacked by extremists," Rev. Chandra said.

Your cardiologist is at home; the house is silent until the phone wakes him up. The urgent voice of the attending physician asks him to evaluate the EKG results immediately. Rather than grabbing a coat and rushing to the hospital, your cardiologist switches on his computer, logs onto the Internet, and pulls up your EKG. He reviews your test, types in his evaluation, and sends it back to the attending physician for diagnosis in just minutes — the time it would take for him to drive to the hospital.
This scenario did not come from the TV show, ER, or from a movie set in 2020. The technology is now available at Virtua Health, allowing physicians to diagnose heart problems quickly and start treatment immediately.
In the heart business, time is muscle
An EKG is the important first test performed when someone complains of chest pains. It measures the frequency and regularity of heart rhythm and can detect irregular heartbeats and possible damage to the heart muscle.
"Every second of delay after the onset of a heart attack translates to a significant, permanent loss of heart muscle," says Virtua Health cardiologist Vincent Spagnuolo, Jr, MD. "We need the right information right away for immediate treatment of the heart condition."
GE MUSE — a digital, wireless EKG system from General Electric — uses the power of computers and the Internet to help speed diagnosis. Previously, the EKG machine recorded the signals on a long paper tape. It was then evaluated by a cardiologist, typed into an official report, then filed in a chart for the physician to make a diagnosis. Now, MUSE speeds up the process to just minutes. It transforms the long paper tape into an electronic patient record that can be accessed by physicians via the web.
"The transfer is immediate," says Dr. Spagnuolo. "EKG results are transmitted right from the bedside to the computer. I can post my interpretation of the EKG online, and it's immediately available to the attending physician, who can begin discussing treatment options with the patient."
MUSE also saves EKG results and interpretations; so if needed, a physician can compare a patient's current EKG to a previous EKG.
Plans for the future
The next phase for MUSE will allow physicians to view EKG results right from their wireless handheld devices — anytime, anywhere. "MUSE saves time, effort and even a few trees," says Dr. Spagnuolo. "But most importantly, the technology helps produce information quickly, which allows a doctor to start treatment immediately."
For more information about GE MUSE or to schedule an appointment with a Virtua cardiologist, call 1-888-Virtua-3.
Physician profile
Vincent Spagnuolo, MD, a board-certified cardiologist, is co-medical director for Virtua's cardiac program of excellence. He is an active member of the New Jersey Cardiac Health Advisory Panel, which develops and reviews quality standards for cardiovascular care for the State Commissioner of Health. Dr. Spagnuolo received his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed a residency in internal medicine at North Shore University Hospital and a fellowship in cardiology at Temple University Hospital.

For many years, TV service providers and content owners have co-existed in a mature, stable and predictable ecosystem. This status-quo was, for the first time, challenged by first-generation Internet/over-the-top (OTT) providers, such as Netflix and Hulu, which not only offer lower-cost alternatives, but have started to change consumers' viewing habits. Here's what today's OTT environment looks like:
To co-exist and thrive in the TV Everywhere (TVE) ecosystem of the future, service providers must work hand-in-hand with content owners to satisfy consumers' expectations and build a differentiated service model based on the demand for access to content on any device and at any time.
In today's OTT delivery world, content owners are cautiously approaching the idea of TVE. Even with the option to deliver directly to consumers, content owners do not want to disrupt the lucrative revenue streams that come from service providers. Instead, content owners are pushing the predictable "authentication" model, which bundles the ability to watch subscription TV content on the Web, tablet or smartphone inside the home.
However, authentication services do nothing to drive revenue for service providers. To go beyond authentication and fully monetize multi-screen, service providers must replicate the quality and reliability of "living room" TV in consumer-owned devices. This means conquering an array of operating systems and devices including smartphones and tablets, desktops/laptops, connected TVs, gaming consoles and set-top-boxes. Content owners also demand strict levels of content protection to be applied consistently across all devices.
With service providers and content owners both seeking ways to profit from their multi-screen video offerings, there are several business models to consider:
This will ultimately become the most critical monetization business model. Mobile ads are especially intriguing to advertisers because mobile devices are tied to personal users instead of households that own TVs, which will allow providers to insert targeted advertising pre and mid- video roll. This requires consistent analytics and reporting on viewers and what they are watching.
Service providers and content owners bait the hook by giving a portion of their shows for free, and then give consumers the option to upgrade. This works well as an opportunity to increase subscription revenue.
Subscription works well for monetizing a large library of older movies and shows where consumers pay for a wide selection, rather than its freshness. The challenge is in the start-up, which requires big investment to get to a critical mass of content and subscribers.
Primarily used by service providers and iTunes, PPV allows monetization on newer movie and TV releases for which consumers are willing to pay on an incremental basis. The downside? It's a less-predictable source of revenue.
Popularized by physical media (i.e. DVDs, Blu-ray Discs), this is employed by content owners for the most recent hit movies and shows, charging consumers a premium while demand is still hot.
One size fits all is not an effective strategy for monetizing multi-screen offerings. Determining the right monetization model is about striking the right balance of consumer-paid and advertiser-paid for the audience. Once that is determined, there's a need to balance recurring subscriptions with enough options for those users who want to pay for more, or higher-quality, content on usage basis. Taking all these factors into account means that monetization models will vary significantly from one provider to another. The model for the South Park, for example, will look vastly different than that of the Food Network.
With OTT video consumption playing a major role in the next generation TVE ecosystem, content owners and service providers have a huge opportunity in front of them. To take advantage of this opportunity and monetize on multi-screen delivery, they must determine their optimal strategy now, work through the technical challenges and fine-tune their business model as they go.John Clancy President and CEO of Azuki Systems Click to view original article

The city of just 25,000 people is struggling to keep police on the streets and criminals locked up, but it's growing increasingly difficult. In July, half the police force was laid off.According to the city of Inkster web site, violent crime jumped 311 percent from 2010-2011. So far this year, a dozen people have been murdered. With dwindling resources, the police department can no longer afford to be proactive.

Great Dress I used this for my bride's maids��� dresses. Two of my bride's maids have very different body types (one big, one small, one well-endowed in one area, the other in totally different area), and this looks good for both of them. The fabric is very forgiving and flows beautifully. One miner issue is the gold metal neckline: it can look cheap, and I didn't like the color. But this can be overlooked since the dress fits beautifully and the neck piece acts as an accent (plus can be mostly hidden by the hair). The dress is very light and comfortable. August 29, 2013

There was a day when farmers and winemakers alike adored the black grape alicante bouschet.
That was long ago, during Prohibition.
For growers, especially in the San Joaquin Valley, alicante bouschet was a prodigious producer, giving them up to 10 or so tons per acre, helping assure an encouraging return on investment.
For winemakers, the thick-skinned alicante bouschet easily withstood the rigors of being shipped to cellars in the Midwest and along the East Coast.
Chances were high that those would be home rather than commercial cellars. During Prohibition, residents could continue to make wine for their own consumption.
In the 1930s, alicante bouschet accounted for a third of California's grape production, according to the wine-trade website Appellation America. Today, little more than 1,000 of the state's 476,000 acres in wine grapes are planted to alicante bouschet.
With the end of Prohibition, the grape's allure faded as commercial winemaking expanded, wineries were built adjacent to vineyards, and more sensitive and esteemed French wine grape varieties shouldered aside the sturdy but aesthetically unheralded alicante bouschet.
It has never quite disappeared from California's vineyards, however. Alicante bouschet is one of those unusual black grapes whose juice runs red, not clear, so it's maintained somewhat of a standing for the pigmentation it can contribute to varietals lacking desired color. Alicante bouschet also is valued for its firm tannins, which can be called upon to shore up the backbone of wines needing more structure.
Nobody predicts that alicante bouschet will be the next big thing in wine circles, but a few growers and vintners are discovering that the grape, when grown in a receptive setting and handled affectionately, can yield a surprisingly inviting varietal.
At the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition on the grounds of the Citrus Fair in Cloverdale early this year, our panel evaluated 97 wines grouped in a class of varietals and blends that shared two things in common. For one, they were made with grapes commonly associated with France's Rhône Valley, such as mourvèdre and carignan, but not syrah, judged separately in its own classes. Secondly, each was priced at more than $20.
Of the 10 gold medals we awarded, just one went to an alicante bouschet (two had been entered). It was the Harmony Wynelands Winery 2009 Lodi Alicante Bouschet. I voted gold largely on the strength of the wine's beckoning perfume, jamminess and balance. It's a deeply colored wine, with a huskiness to match in the juiciness of its fruit and in the mass of its build, but its tannins had been so nicely massaged they didn't taste at all barbed. Suggestions of chocolate and smoke added to the wine's intrigue.
Harmony Wynelands Winery is a small Lodi estate created by Bob and Linda Hartzell. Bob Hartzell is a former president of the California Wine Grape Growers Association.
Harmony Wynelands sets itself apart from other wineries in two respects. For one, the barn that houses the winery's tasting room also houses a massive pipe organ that dates from 1921, when it first was fired up at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. Hartzell, from his office aerie above the tasting counter, is apt to saunter down most any time to crank up the organ, which also is used to accompany periodic showings of silent movies.
Secondly, Harmony Wynelands is keen on seeking out what Hartzell and his winemakers stepson Shaun MacKay and consultant Chad Joseph consider exceptional pairings of grape and site. Thus, Harmony Wynelands is rare among Lodi wineries in that its lineup includes a riesling, the fruit for which Hartzell gets in Monterey County.
That focus on grape variety and site also accounts for the alicante bouschet. When Hartzell became captivated by alicante bouschet's prospects as a stand-alone varietal, he didn't have to look beyond Lodi to find suitable grapes. Alicante bouschet had been a staple of the region for decades, and at least one old stand of the variety was still producing. That would be on the Mohr-Fry Ranch, where the head-trained alicante bouschet vines date from 1921. Hartzell's team has been working with the Mohr-Fry fruit for a decade now.
One of the knocks on alicante bouschet has been that, despite the initial depth of the color in its wines, it tends to fade fast. Joseph says he's been able to stabilize the pigmentation of alicante bouschet with a variety of cellar techniques, including keeping the juice at a moderate temperature during fermentation. The same methods, he's convinced, also help tame the variety's notoriously harsh tannins, thus turning out a wine that while saturated with color and broad in build is easy to drink, especially when the wine is paired with food.
"So many old-timers around here say that the color of alicante bouschet drops out, but that hasn't been our experience," said Bob Hartzell.
Joseph and MacKay also use the variety in a proprietary blend called "GMA," for grenache, mourvèdre and alicante bouschet. Grenache and mourvèdre commonly are blended with syrah for a popular category of Rhône Valley-inspired wines called "GSM," but Joseph has found that the Lodi alicante bouschet is a better fit than the local syrah for bringing needed color and structure to the mix.
The current release of the GMA, from the 2008 harvest, was made with 33 percent grenache, 33 percent mourvèdre and 34 percent alicante bouschet, yielding a wine as plush, varied and comforting as a Victorian parlor. (Two years ago, the 2007 version of the wine was named Best Red Rhône Blend at the California State Fair commercial wine competition.)
Harmony Wynelands Winery
2009 Lodi Alicante Bouschet
By the numbers: 14.2 percent alcohol, 150 cases, $30
Context: Chad Joseph recommends that the wine be poured with a hefty pork loin or a cut of lamb, though it also has the agility to go with chicken.
Availability: The wine is available only at the winery, 9291 East Harney Lane, Lodi, open 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 12:30-5 p.m. Sundays.
