Understanding the role of ethnic minority political opponents and activists in Myanmar prompts a rethinking of the human rights situation in the country and the appropriate strategy for improving it. First, the analysis should acknowledge the wide extent of popular opposition to the Myanmar government, and emphasize the need to ensure that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the NLD, and other political opposition groups--including those founded by ethnic minorities--are able to participate meaningfully in the coming elections. As illustrated in this report, among the government's political opponents are ethnic minorities who perform similar work, and toward similar aims, as their ethnic majority Burman counterparts in the country's urban centres and central regions. Second, it should expand the international community's understanding of the aspirations of Myanmar's ethnic minorities beyond the oft-cited context of armed groups, and refocus international attention on ensuring that the needs of Myanmar's ethnic minorities are included in any discussion of the country's human rights situation and any resolutions thereof.
The elections again highlight the challenge that has confronted--and confounded--every government since independence more than 60 years ago: ensuring the assent, or at least compliance, of Myanmar's ethnic minorities. For most of the last six decades, Myanmar's authoritarian rulers have used a combination of force and negotiation to this end, with the balance firmly on the former rather than on any political or economic incentives. In the context of the upcoming elections, the government has alternately encouraged and warned ethnic minority political organizations to take part, with most remaining undecided or noncommittal.5 Myanmar's government is struggling to ensure that those represented by armed groups still fighting with the army are either defeated or "brought back into the legal fold" before the elections.6 The army and its allies have waged concerted offensives against several armed groups (and civilians), from the Karen, Shan, and Kokang ethnic minorities.7 As a result nearly 5,000 Karen, 10,000 Shan, and over 30,000 Kokang were displaced during 2009 and the Kokang's armed militia, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA)8, was defeated.9
The offensive against the MNDAA is significant in the context of the Myanmar government's newest strategy of converting the existing armed ethnic groups that have signed ceasefire agreements into Border Guard Forces (BGF) under tatmadawcommand, in exchange for pay, perks, and official legal status. Nine groups have agreed, while six have refused. The Kokang had not agreed. The elections will further clarify whether the aspirations of Myanmar's ethnic minorities will be represented by armed insurrection or through political action.

City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) cleaned up graffiti in her district and cut the ribbon on new school computers as she continued to rack up union endorsements for her congressional run last week.
Crowley visited PS 90, at 86-50 109th St., to talk to students last Thursday about the importance of technology.
"Computers are critical tools for students," Crowley said. "We need to make sure our children have the best equipment possible to prepare them for the future."
The computers were purchased as part of a $100,000 grant secured by Crowley from the Council. The funds will also go toward updating technology in several classrooms at the school.
Crowley is a candidate running for the newly created Queens congressional seat. She is currently involved in a Democratic primary with three other candidates: state Assembly members Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows) and Grace Meng (D-Flushing) and Bayside allergist Dr. Robert Mittman.
Crowley also picked up several union endorsements last week.
On May 15, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3, based in Electchester, endorsed Crowley.
And last Thursday, the city Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which represents both active and retired police officers, endorsed the councilwoman.
Crowley also got the nod from the Building and Construction Trades Council, representing 220,000 construction workers in New York state.
The councilwoman also teamed up with the 104th Precinct, which is in her district, Monday to help at a graffiti cleanup at businesses along Dry Harbor Road in Middle Village.
"We all have a responsibility to keep our neighborhood clean," she said.

I'm hoping to find something appropriate for under $250. At this point I'm leaning towards Park Avenue seconds for about $220. Anybody have anything fantastic that they're trying to unload that fits this price range and that could be shipped to Oceanside, CA within the next couple weeks?

SpaceX Dragon Capsule Passes NASA Crew Trial, CEO Responds to Criticism from Neil Armstrong
Tiffany Kaiser
March 19, 2012 1:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Musk said he's sad that American space heroes like Armstrong and Gene Cernan don't approve of his work
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has all the confidence in the world that his company will provide the first manned spaceflight for America since the retirement of
NASA's space shuttle program
, especially since the company's Dragon capsule just completed the first NASA Crew Trial. But he is faced with criticism from some of the country's largest space heroes like Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan.
Musk recently participated in a "60 Minutes" interview with correspondent Scott Pelley, where Pelley was escorted around the SpaceX factory near Los Angeles, California. Musk showed off SpaceX projects like the Falcon Nine rocket and the Dragon cargo capsule, explaining that SpaceX is ultimately working to
make spaceflight cheap and available to anyone
. He also mentioned that all projects are assembled right in the plant, where materials come in one end of the factory and a full spacecraft comes out the other.
After NASA retired its space shuttle program last year, U.S. astronauts have depended on Russia to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Sending a U.S. astronaut on a Russian Soyuz rocket costs about $60 million per seat, and this price is expected to rise. With that in mind, America is working to create its own spacecraft once again, and SpaceX is at the top of the list of private companies competing to send a U.S. astronaut into space after NASA.

Last week, SpaceX announced that the Dragon completed the first NASA Crew Trial, which is one of two tests that will help SpaceX work to build a prototype Dragon crew cabin. This milestone allowed NASA astronauts to provide feedback to SpaceX for a new crew cabin design. The prototype features seven seats, cargo racks, life support systems, and displays.
Despite this milestone, Musk's company has received some criticism recently from American space heroes Neil Armstrong, who was the first astronaut to step foot upon the Moon on Apollo 11, and Gene Cernan, who was the last man to step foot upon the moon on Apollo 17. Armstrong and Cernan have both testified to Congress that commercializing space would lead to safety issues and cost the taxpayers at some point. Musk's inexperience with space also has some worried, since his degrees are in business and physics, not aerospace. Musk claims to be self-taught through reading books and talking to those who are experienced.

Musk told Pelley that he looked up to Armstrong and Cernan, and that it was disappointing to hear that they disapprove of his work.
"I was very sad to see that because those guys are, you know, those guys are heroes of mine, so it's really tough," said Musk. "You know, I wish they would come and visit, and see the hard work that we're doing here. And I think that would change their mind.
"What I'm trying to do is to make a significant difference in space flight, and help make space flight accessible to almost anyone. And I would hope for as much support in that direction as we, as we can receive."
Despite criticism from his heroes, Musk isn't giving up. He has poured $100 million into SpaceX and received a contract worth up to $1.6 billion with NASA. Musk said he would have to die or become completely incapacitated to ever give up on commercializing space.
Musk was happy to show Pelley around the factory, where Pelley was able to see the Dragon cargo capsule up close. The Dragon is expected to conduct an unmanned demonstration flight to the ISS on April 30, and if it's successful, SpaceX will be the first private company to dock at the ISS. The flight was
originally set for February
, but with so much riding on this launch, SpaceX decided to take its time and make sure all would go well when the time came.
But unmanned cargo deliveries aren't the only plans SpaceX has for Dragon. Pelley noticed that there are windows in the Dragon, which Musk said was for astronauts to see through. He said the Dragon was intended for manned missions and expects SpaceX to be the first private company to launch an American astronaut into space.

Musk's vision even extends beyond that. He wants to
help humans settle on other planets like Mars
at some point.
"I think it's important that humanity become a
multi-planet species
," said Musk. "I think most people would agree that a future where we are a space-faring civilization is inspiring and exciting compared with one where we are forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event. That's really why I started SpaceX."
SpaceX seems to be on its way, and despite the stones thrown from his heroes and the fact that SpaceX seems to be the underdog, Musk fully believes his company will be the one to make spaceflight a reality for America again.
"It's like a little kid fighting a bunch of sumo wrestlers," said Musk. "Usually, the sumo wrestlers win. We're a little scrappy company. Every now and again,
the little scrappy company wins
. And I think this'll be one of those times."

David Jacobs Strain
David has come a long way from slugging a bamboo gear cart with a tattered "Delta Blues" sign through the Oregon Country Fair mud at the age of 13. 12 years of solo shows, from the Sierra Nevada to the Berkeshires have made him into a performer of strength and virtuosity. His outrageous guitar work jumps from wild fingerstyle to slide and percussive drive produce enough tone to rival an electric jam band. And his voice carries an emotional intensity that his songs demand. David's newest record " Live from the Left Coast" is built on the raw energy and stripped down vibe that fans have been asking for: David on guitar, vocals, Bob beach on harmonica are all it takes to bring this set of mostly originals to life.

A Walla Walla County man is the first Washington resident in 2014 known to have been infected with West Nile virus in our state. The man in his 20s was likely exposed near his home and was hospitalized. The infection was confirmed by testing at the Washington State Public Health Laboratories in Shoreline.
Two other Washington residents have been diagnosed with the infection this year, both with exposures in other states. A King County man in his 70s and a Grays Harbor woman in her 50s were infected with West Nile virus this year while traveling out of state. Additional reports of possible infections are currently under investigation.
"The mosquito samples that have tested positive for West Nile virus in eastern Washington this season are a reminder that the virus is here and we should protect ourselves," said State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy. "The best prevention is to avoid mosquito bites — at home and while traveling."
So far, 34 mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus in 2014, including Benton County (11), Franklin County (11), and Grant County (12). The number of positive mosquito samples detected this year has already surpassed the number found during the past three years, combined (28).
Year after year, south central Washington has been a "hot spot" for the virus, with most in-state acquired human and animal cases having been exposed in this area. Mosquito testing shows the virus is in our state, and the mosquito species that transmit the virus are found throughout Washington. Regardless of where you are, health officials recommend avoiding mosquito bites to help prevent getting infected.
A few simple precautions can help reduce your chances of getting mosquito bites:
- Stay indoors around dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- Use a mosquito repellent when spending time outdoors, and consider wearing long sleeves and pants when mosquitoes are most active.
- Be sure that door and window screens are in good condition so that mosquitoes cannot get indoors.
- Reduce mosquito habitat around the home by dumping standing or stagnant water in old buckets, cans, flower pots, or old tires, and frequently change water in birdbaths, pet dishes, and water troughs.
West Nile virus is primarily a bird disease, and often dead birds are an early sign that the disease is active in an area. People may report dead birds online to public health officials. So far this year no dead birds have been reported with the infection in the state.
Most people infected with West Nile virus will have no symptoms at all. Others may develop fever, headache, or body aches. For a small percentage of people, West Nile virus infection can be very serious, resulting in encephalitis, meningitis, or other complications. People over age 50 have the highest risk for serious illness.
Last year, only two human infections of West Nile virus were reported, and both were exposed out of state. During 2012, four cases were reported, two of which were in-state acquired while the other two were travel-associated. The state most active year was 2009, in which there were 38 human cases, 95 animal cases (including birds), and 364 positive mosquito samples. It's impossible to predict what each year may bring, so it's important to do things to prevent mosquito bites and protect yourself from West Nile virus infection.
More information is available on the agency's West Nile virus information line, 1-866-78-VIRUS (1-866-788-4787) and on the West Nile virus website.
The Department of Health website (www.doh.wa.gov) is your source for a healthy dose of information. Also, find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Topic: SBB announces the release of their new live DVD Posted: March 13 2009 at 16:39 |
SBB, a legend of Polish music, returned in late January 2009 with a brand new studio album entitled Iron Curtain. The band supported the release with an extensive tour around Poland, with its highlight at Wyspianski Theatre in Katowice, where SBB was a headliner on the first day of the first edition of the ProgRock Festival. The bands performance was recorded and is to be released as Behind the Iron Curtain DVD.
The DVD will show the trio in top form: Anthimos Apostoliss one of a kind guitar sound, Gabor Nemeths powerful and unmistakably rock drum blasts, and of course the never-failing charisma and musical genius of Józef Skrzek!

You can see additional photos here: http://www.metalmind.com.pl/index.php?dzial=artysci&id=47
Apart from the live show, the DVD will also include bonus video features: "Camelele" video clip and a studio documentary shot at the famous Zbigniew Preisners Studio. Behind the Iron Curtain will be available in three formats: standard DVD, limited edition DVD+2CD and limited 2CD. Metal Mind Productions plans to release this title in early July.

- We develop a simple growth model and exhibit the main driving forces that should determine the optimal CCS policy. We show that, under some conditions on the cost of extractions, CCS may be a long-term solution to curb carbon emissions. Besides, we show that the social planner chooses to decrease over time the rate of capture and sequestration. Next, we derive the decentralized equilibrium outcome by considering the programs of the fossil resource-holder and of the representative consumer. Finally, we determine the environmental policy, i.e. the carbon tax scheme, as well as the the dynamics of the fossil fuel price that implement the optimum.

Blinkit Turns iPod Into A Flashlight
There are so many iPod accessories out there that aim to make your music and video enjoyment using the portable media player a much better experience - and then there are items like Blinkit. Blinkit connects to your iPod's dock connector, and provides a steady stream of light from the two LEDs on the unit. Instant flashlight action is fantastic, but even better, there are caps that let you change the color of the light, and you can use the iPod wheel to make the light pulsate as well. For $29.95, we think the price is a little much for something that must be considered a novelty at best for most people out there. Of course, if you are one who could use such a thing, head on over to the Blinkit site, and let us know how it works for you.

Specs for NRS Wedge Rescue Throw Bag:
Perfectly good replacement for my old bag. Improved clip to attach to boat and quick release, easy to repack.
Santa Rosa, CA
The Wedge throw bag is a great fit for a whitewater boat or personal carry, my 75 ft throw bag takes up so much space where as this smaller bag fits easily behind the back band and you don't have to wrestle it out of its storage space which I think is a real safety feature in is own right. Even though it is small with 55 ft of line it is an appropriate size for many rivers, and most kayakers I know are capable of throwing it far enough to use all of it's 55 ft of range, not the case with the larger heavier 75 ft lines which many are incapable of throwing it far enough to reach its maximum distance should it be required. A great product in a good size at a reasonable price. I liked it so much I purchased another for my paddling partner, because it will not be my throw bag that rescues me, but it could be hers.

Guthrie, Royals win 10th straight, edge Tigers 2-1
DETROIT (AP) Alex Gordon's grounder up the middle looked like a routine out - until it hit second base and took a wacky bounce, allowing the game's first run to score.
With breaks like that, it's no wonder the Kansas City Royals have won 10 in a row.
Omar Infante added a solo homer and Jeremy Guthrie pitched impressively into the seventh inning, helping the Royals extend their longest winning streak in 20 years with a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
Kansas City has outpitched, outhit and outfielded the Tigers in taking the first three games of this series - so the Royals have no reason to apologize for a little luck along the way.
''Baseball's a funny game - you've got to take full advantage of those,'' Kansas City's Eric Hosmer said. ''We're not complaining about it either.''
The AL Central-leading Royals have not won this many games in a row since a run of 14 in 1994. They extended their division lead over the Tigers to 1 1/2 games.
Guthrie (4-6) allowed four hits and struck out nine in 6 2-3 innings. Drew Smyly (3-6) nearly matched him, but the Detroit left-hander was victimized by Gordon's fluky RBI single in the first inning and Infante's homer in the fifth.
J.D. Martinez homered off Guthrie in the seventh, but the Kansas City bullpen got the last seven outs, with Greg Holland pitching the ninth for his 21st save in 22 chances.
Kansas City will try for a four-game sweep of the Tigers on Thursday. The Royals began the series by pounding star right-handers Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, then Guthrie took the mound and breezed through the team that has won the last three division titles.
''This could be the best game he's thrown all year,'' Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. ''He was fabulous. ... We had to go back to our old way of doing things - pitching and defense.''
It was Guthrie's second straight game with nine strikeouts - he also reached the mark June 13 against the Chicago White Sox. He had some help Wednesday from his fielders, as Gordon saved a run in the fourth with a diving catch in left-center.
''I'm not that fast, but I can turn it on when I want to,'' the Kansas City left fielder said.
Fortune seemed to favor the Royals throughout the afternoon. With a runner on second in the first, Gordon's two-out bouncer up the middle looked like a groundout to the shortstop, but it ricocheted off second base for a hit, allowing Hosmer to come home.
In the second, Detroit's Victor Martinez dropped a nice bunt against a shifted defense, only to have the ball roll foul inches before reaching third base.
J.D. Martinez homered in the seventh, and Nick Castellanos nearly tied it later in the inning with a two-out drive to left that bounced off the fence for a double. Kelvin Herrera relieved Guthrie and retired Don Kelly on a lineout to center.
Wade Davis struck out the side in the eighth, and Holland made it through the ninth after allowing a leadoff single to Miguel Cabrera.
Smyly allowed two runs and seven hits in seven-plus innings. He struck out six without a walk.
The Tigers have lost 20 of 29 to fall out of first place. During his postgame news conference, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus replied sarcastically to a question about how his mood is when he heads home after these tough defeats.
''I beat my wife,'' Ausmus said, clearly trying to joke. ''I'm just kidding around. No, luckily my wife and kids are fantastic. I do get a little mopey at home, but my wife and kids are good.''
About a minute later, without being prompted, Ausmus said he was sorry.
''I didn't want to make light of battered women,'' the first-year manager said. ''I didn't mean to make light of that, so I apologize for that if that offended anyone.''
NOTES: Kansas City OF Nori Aoki (groin) and Detroit OF Torii Hunter (hamstring) did not play. ... Royals C Salvador Perez extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a ninth-inning single. ... Detroit 2B Ian Kinsler made a nice diving stop on Infante's grounder in the third. ... Kansas City LHP Danny Duffy (4-5) faces Detroit RHP Anibal Sanchez (3-2) on Thursday.

EU to cease ban on Thailand's chicken
The EU is expected to cease its ban on Thailand's fresh chicken exports to the 27-member trading bloc later this year, according to Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Kittirat Na-Ranong.
Kittirat told reporters that the Thai ambassador to Brussels, as well as agriculture and commerce authorities, have met John Dalli, European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy, to discuss the EU ban.
He also quoted the European Commissioner as saying that the EU is satisfied with conditions of Thailand's poultry facilities and food safety measures and is unlikely to renew its ban in mid-2012, noting, however, that all EU member states have yet to approve the stance. The European Commissioner has urged Thailand to treat EU's exports to Thailand accordingly.
According to the Thai Deputy Premier, discussions on the EU ban have been conducted at many forums. He has also met European Commissioner for Trade, Karel De Gucht, during the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva last December and wrote to three European Commissioners, requesting for the lifting of the ban against Thai food products.
The Deputy Premier is satisfied with the latest development and believed that the cancellation of the ban would allow Thailand to restore market shares in the major EU market and raise demand for domestic farm produce and earnings for local farmers.
- Thailand's chicken price stable while exporters hope Thai-Eu FTA will boost quota
- Local broiler price up as Thailand readies to ship salted chicken to Europe
- EU delays by nearly two months entry of raw chicken from Thailand
- Thailand's CPF confirms EU's lifting of Thai frozen chicken imports ban
- Thailand recommences salted chicken exports to EU

Jean-Claude Van Damme
When future movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme auditioned for his debut theatrical role in No Retreat, No Surrender, I was the casting director who recommended him and who supervised his martial arts audition. It was my first Hollywood gig. The Hong Kong producer of Jackie Chan's breakout comedy kung-fu hit Snake in the Eagle's Shadow had sought me out precisely because I ran the STAR ratings, because I had been editor of Inside Kung-Fu magazine, and because I knew all the top fighters and their martial arts masters.
But I am not how we found Van Damme.
We did not spot Van Damme's talent; Van Damme's talent spotted us. In response to our Hollywood trade ad for black belt actors, he mailed in a photo of himself performing Chinese splits while suspended in mid-air with an ankle on each of two chairs. When he subsequently walked into our Raleigh Studios office for his preliminary audition, he instantly commanded everyone's attention. His English at the time was just passable, but his energy was electric: sculpted physique, spectacular jump kicks, classic martial arts form, and an irrepressible determination.
Jean-Claude told me he patterned himself after Bruce Lee for the martial arts, after Arnold Schwarzenegger for the body building, and after John Wayne for the characters he wanted to bring to the screen. He envisioned exactly what he fancied from Hollywood on that very first day and, against incredible odds, succeeded larger-than-life beyond anyone's expectations for an actor in a low-budget genre picture. Single-mindedly, he built an extraordinary movie career in an undeniably difficult industry.
He deserves full credit for that achievement.
The following analysis of Jean-Claude's days as an amateur martial arts competitor is not intended as a slam against Van Damme but, rather, a denunciation of the Hollywood hype machine. For years, publicists have portrayed him as a living embodiment of his characters from Bloodsport and Kickboxer because they thought it would reinforce the marketing for his movies. Regretfully, following the theatrical release of No Retreat, No Surrender in May 1986, nothing written about Van Damme as a kickboxer can be accepted on its face without credible firsthand source substantiation. To paraphrase Bruce Lee, when it comes to Hollywood hype, believe half of what you see and none of what you read.
WIKIPEDIA excerpt - Retrieved 27 May 2011
In 1980, Jean-Claude Van Damme defeated former Great Britain karate champion Michael J. Heming. Next, Van Damme scored a knockout over France's Georges Verlugels in two rounds. After these victories, Jean-Clause caught the attention of the European martial arts community. Professional Karate Magazine publisher and editor Mike Anders, and multiple European champion Geet Lemmens tabbed Jean-Claude Van Damme as an upcoming prospect.
In 1984, STAR discussed Jean-Claude Van Varenberg with Mike Anderson (misreferenced in the above Wikipedia excerpt as "Mike Anders"). Anderson founded both the Professional Karate Association (PKA) and Professional Karate magazine, and he promoted the 1979 WAKO world championships at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida. He remembered Jean-Claude as a flashy member of the Belgian semi-contact kickboxing team. For those not familiar with WAKO, "semi-contact kickboxing" is the same as point karate, called semi-contact karate in America. In Europe, for reasons of legal branding, WAKO lumped point karate together with full-contact kickboxing. WAKO wanted to become the Olympic governing body for amateur martial arts. Then as now, branding was part of their process.
Of course, WAKO's conflated terminology can mislead novice researchers, worshiping fans and Hollywood publicists who desperately want to reconstruct this celebrity martial artist's difficult-to-substantiate amateur record. And their confusing information remains ever muddled with the Wikipedia approach.
In 1984, STAR further asked prospective WKA Middleweight World Champion Fred "The Gladiator" Royers in Holland to check Van Varenberg's history with the Nederlandse Kick Boxing Bond (cited in Wikipedia's record for Van Damme as the "Netherlands Kickboxing Federation"). Royers reported back that Van Varenberg had no full-contact fights with the NKBB; they did not keep records for amateurs. Royers provided a few of the press clippings contained in our Van Damme competitive history. We also checked with Jeronimo Canabate, founder and president of the European Professional Karate Association (EPKA), in Geneva and with PKA President Don Quine in Beverly Hills. Neither remembered Van Varenberg.
Van Varenberg v Teugels
The Karate magazine photo on the left comes from the above-mentioned match between Jean-Claude Van Varenberg and Patrick Teugels, the WAKO amateur semi-contact vice-champion of the world, at the Forest National Arena in Brussels, Belgium, on 8 March 1980. Notice that both competitors are sporting safety-punch equipment rather than the boxing gloves that were mandatory for full-contact competition. Also, Van Varenberg wears a gym shirt; Teugels a karate gi. They are not bare-chested like full-contact kickboxers. In ourVan Damme competitive history, I have included a pre-event announcement of the fight card which identifies this match as amateur light-contact at 69 kg (152 pounds). Also included are the post-fight results: The martial arts press again identifies this match as light-contact. Teugels withdrew owing to an inadvertent injury. Van Varenberg won by forfeit (l'abandon), not by TKO.
Wikipedia's Karate and Kickboxing Record
These distinctions matter. The wikipedians have referenced largely multiple reiterations of Hollywood hokum to construct their questionable history. Combining all matches as though Van Damme had a professional kickboxing record is both deceptive and demeaning of Van Damme's actual competitive accomplishments.
Ironically, the truth about Jean-Claude Van Varenberg is nearly as compelling as the Hollywood embellishments. The STAR System confirmed that Van Varenberg had been a successful tournament karate and team competitor in Europe. He had no professional kickboxing bouts. STAR did not document amateur kickboxing and can neither confirm nor dismiss any such bout. However, as a member of the winning 1979 WAKO Belgian national team, Van Varenberg's point karate accomplishments were substantial … much akin to an Olympic athlete.

When Jean-Claude first met with prospective talent managers in Hollywood, they told him his name contained too many syllables to be easily remembered by Americans. He adopted the stage name Van Damme to honor deceased Belgian bodybuilder Paul Van Damme.
In 1984 and 1985, after Jean-Claude Van Damme was cast in New World Picture's No Retreat, No Surrender, the STAR System ratings began an investigation of his competitive history.

Imi – Creator and Founder of the Israel Martial Art for
Self-Defense – The Krav-Maga
"Do What You Can but Do It Right"
Imi (or by his full name – Imirich Lichtenfeld), was born in 26 of May 1910, in the City of Bratislava, which at that time was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
His father, Samuel Lichtenfled, was the chief detective in his city, and it was him who started to develop some techniques of self-defense to train the policemen under him.
Imi was a very strong man physically and practiced and explored almost every possible aspect of body related activities: from one side, he worked for many years in the circus, and his specialty was the trapeze, considered to be the most difficult skill to dominate of all the circus performances. In the martial arts, Imi trained and achieved the black belt in Judo and in Traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. He was also a heavy weight European boxing champion, and this was back in the days in which there were not many rules in boxing – the winner was simply the last man to stand on his feet, and in most times those fights were held without any protective gear, like gloves etc.
Imi wanted to take part in the first Maccabiah games, held in Israel in 1932. However, as boxing was not a part of the games' program, Imi chose and began practicing another fighting sport, the Greco-Roman Wrestling (although he won several titles, he never became a big fan of this sport).
But, from the other hand and to emphasize the softness of his personality and his movements, he also owned one of the biggest schools for waltz dancing at that time and became a notorious Waltz teacher. Without a doubt his enormous and unique repertoire of body movements was essential for the later creation of Krav-Maga.
During the 1930's, when anti-Semitism in Europe became stronger and more apparent, Imi organized several of his friends into groups who used to go out and "teach a lesson" to anti-Semitic outlaws who regularly attacked and hurt Jews in the streets of his city.
When the Second World War erupted, Imi joined and served until the end of the war in the Czech Legion, which was a part of the Royal British Army. During his service, he participated in the battle of Egypt, where British forces defeated the Nazi army under the command of General Rommel. After the end of the war, Imi traveled to Israel, where he immediately joined the Israeli resistant movements of the Independence War, which was fought against the British occupation and the neighboring Arab states. It was during those days that Imi started to develop the first techniques of self defense. Being one of few in Israel who had vast experience in face to face combat, he started creating and teaching techniques of stick fighting, knife using, silent attacks and techniques to take down guards without the use of firearms. Besides this, Imi also took upon himself another dangerous mission.
One of the main objectives at that time was to bring to Israel as much Jewish refugees as possible from the destroyed post-war Europe. For this end, dangerously old ships were bought and used. However, some of those ships were caught while on their way to Israel by the Royal Navy and were usually confiscated and the refugees onboard were deported to the Island of Cyprus. When Imi arrived to Israel, he joined the "Hagana", the biggest and most influential resistance organization. Being an extraordinary swimmer, he took upon himself the task of swimming towards the sea vessels when they approach the Israeli beach and guide them to an abandoned point along the shore, so the new immigrants could safely disembark.
In one of those times, Imi and a couple of his colleagues boarded an "Hagana" ship called "Pancho", but a few hours later, while approaching the beach, the ship was intercepted by the British police force. In order to avoid being captured, and probably even getting killed, the three warriors jumped to the water, assuming they will be able to swim back to Israel. But as they quickly found out, they had badly miscalculated. One of them did not make it and died of dehydration, while Imi and the other survivor of the small group swam for three days until they were picked up by an Egyptian fishing boat. As a result of the long staying in the water, the burning sun and the dehydration, his face became permanently disfigured.
After the foundation of the State of Israel and the subsequent creation of the Israeli Defense Forces, Imi naturally joined the new established army and became the chief-instructor of Self defense in the armed forces for the next 19 years, until retiring in 1967. At that time, the complete Krav-Maga as we know it did not exist yet. During his service in the army Imi never had the chance to spend more than a week or two with each group of soldiers he trained and it was impossible to create a complete martial art under these conditions.
Therefore, when he retired in 1967, he opened two academies: one in his hometown of Netanya and the other one in the city of Tel-Aviv. His objective was to assemble a group of loyal students with which he will be able develop the Israeli martial art for self-defense. His mission was successful and during the years Imi qualified a group of ten disciples, to whom he taught everything he knew and those were the only ten people to receive a black belt from him.
The two academies he opened, in Netanya and Tel-Aviv, Imi passed to his two most senior students, in order to guarantee the continuation of his way and his martial art.
His professional achievements, reputation and success inside the military circles had such positive repercussions that his name became rapidly known also in places not directly connected to the army, such as the police and the different security services. Consequently, Imi received several requests to build and to plan specific self-defense techniques to be used by law enforcement agents, and the quality and operational capacity of those exercises are considered until today exceptional and unique. After the Olympic Games in Munich, in 1972, Germany decided that it will build the world best anti-terror unit. Thus, the first thing they did was to summon Imi to train the new unit.
Another example occurred during the Sixties. The Israeli Foreign Minister received an official request from the Ethiopian emperor at the time, Haile Selassie, to help him build a royal bodyguards unit. Imi, who was already the chief-instructor for self-defense in the armed forces, was sent to the African state to help train the emperor soldiers. Years later, in the only official visit of Haile Selassie to Israel, the Ethiopian ruler demanded that Imi will participate in the reception ceremony, what indeed happened. This is just one episode of many in which Imi and some of his most senior students took part in the ongoing secret operations to guarantee the safety and security of the State of Israel and its citizens, doing their part by promoting and developing Krav-Maga.
Imi as a role model for many generations to come, became a living legend.
Imi died at the old age of eighty eight, in a hospital in the city of Natanya, in January 10th 1998. The day of his death and his funeral were very sad to all his students and followers. A relatively small number of people came to accompany him in his last journey, although some students arrived from abroad to give their respects.
Imi was buried in Israel, the country he loved so much, in a typical cold and rainy January day. In the end of this very sad day, a great and beloved man was buried in the holy land of Israel.
And you, a Krav-Maga student and instructor, when you come to Israel to a visit, go to the Natanya Municipal cemetery. In the main entrance turn to the left and then left again in the second turn. Cross over the empty terrain and you will quickly find the tomb of Imi. It is a Jewish custom to put small stones on the edge of the tomb. Give this giant man the honor and respect he deserves.
I wrote this article looking at the one hundred years anniversary of Imi, in order to give a small gleam on the man he was, as the founder and creator of the Krav-Maga. This is the least I could have done for the one who was for me a teacher, a friend, a brother, a father and someone to cherish and to love for all times. This is my way for showing my gratitude to him for choosing me to be the one who will continue his way, for teaching me the mysteries and the secrets of the martial art he had created.

Bok was a Ferengi DaiMon in the early 2360s. His only son was killed in the Battle of Maxia when his ship was destroyed by the USS Stargazer, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This affected Bok greatly, and he plotted his revenge for years. He attempted to carry it out in 2364 when he used a thought maker to influence Picard's actions. He tried to trick Picard into attacking the USS Enterprise-D, but his plot was foiled. He was subsequently relieved of command of his ship by his first officer Kazago for his "unprofitable venture". (TNG: "The Battle")
Bok was stripped of his title of DaiMon soon after and was incarcerated at Rog Prison, though he eventually bought his way out and made his way to the Dorias Cluster. Bok again tried to obtain revenge on Picard in 2370, by killing his son, Jason Vigo. Picard had been unaware of the existence of Vigo until Bok's threat against him. It was later discovered that Vigo was not his son, but his DNA had been altered by Bok to make it appear that way. Bok failed to kill Vigo, prevented by Picard's intervention. His Ferengi associates, having been told it was a plot to make Picard pay ransom money, turned against him after learning the truth. (TNG: "Bloodlines")
Background information Edit
Bok was played by Frank Corsentino in "The Battle" and by Lee Arenberg in "Bloodlines".
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, author Larry Nemecek said that actor Frank Corsentino couldn't be located to reprise Bok in "Bloodlines," so Lee Arenberg stepped into the role (despite having played another Ferengi, Prak, earlier that season on "Force of Nature"). Evidently, Corsentino was later "found" and played Gegis in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Inside Man".
Bok's face, belonging to Frank Corsentino's, was reused for the character of Aramut in the 1995 video game Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity. Corsentino was not credited in the game, however.
Apocrypha Edit
In the Lost Era novel The Buried Age, Bok's son was named Flax, and the ship he commanded was known as the Seventy-Fifth Rule (referring to the 75th Rule of Acquisition: "Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum"). The Seventy-Fifth Rule was conducting a survey of the Maxia Zeta star system, discovering a massive wealth of dilithium and other precious metals before the Stargazer arrived in the system on its own survey mission. Believing the Federation to be insane due to its moneyless economy, Flax ambushed the Stargazer, leading to his death in the "Battle of Maxia". Bok arrived in the system afterwards searching for his son's ship, but instead found the abandoned Stargazer and kept it as a personal prize, until he could avenge himself on Picard for his son's death.

The Right (And Wrong) Way To Remove Pollen Stains
Beautiful blooming lilies and tulips are a sure sign that spring has arrived. But, it's important to handle flower arrangements carefully, especially as the blooms start to fade. Accidentally brush up against them, and you'll instantly have the yellow, powdery grains of pollen all over your clothing. Now what?
The worst thing you can do when this happens is to dab the stain with water. Water dissolves the particles and creates a bigger mess. Even brushing them off with your hand can push the powder deeper into the fabric. Instead, carefully shake the material (bend over, if you have to) so the loose particles fall off. If any are still clingling, gently blot them with a piece of tape or use a handheld vacuum cleaner to coax them out of the fabric.
If you still see a yellow stain, place it face down on a piece of paper towel. Dab the stain from the back with a dry-cleaning fluid, like Guardsman, and frequently rotate the paper towel to a clean area as it absorbs the stain. Continue dabbing with the fluid until no more stain is released onto the towel. Treat the stain with a laundry pre-spotter and wash in the hottest water and type of bleach that is safe for the garment, or take the item to the dry cleaner.
To nip these stains in the bud before they happen, gently spritz the stamens in a new bouquet with hairspray to help hold the pollen particles in place. And when tossing wilted flowers, grasp the stamens with a tissue and snip them off first, to keep dried pollen from spreading.

Lately, I've been thinking about "ADHD paralysis," feeling so overwhelmed by the persistent expectation of failure that we get nowhere in our lives. We are afraid to make a move. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) is never far from the surface on the best of days, and does a mean job of sabotaging our relationships.
ADHDers, like everyone else, try their best to present themselves as well-adjusted, minimally-baggaged individuals. We don't want our employers, colleagues, friends, and lovers to think that they may be involved with a perennial screw-up.
On a first date, we set our inner egg-timer from the moment we step out our front door. How long before it ends? we ask ourselves. Before you knew you had ADD/ADHD, you blamed others for not wanting to stick around for very long. After you were diagnosed, the message you read into your failed relationships changed. It became, "It's not you -- it really is me."
ADD/ADHD forums are full of stories from men and women who mourn about not having a committed relationship. It's not that we're inherently un-datable -- at least not after being diagnosed and receiving treatment. It's that we rarely extend ourselves the same understanding that we expect from other people. We forget that, even with medication, distractible behavior doesn't end overnight. If we're doing our best to manage our symptoms, are we really at fault when a relationship ends? Sometimes it is us. Sometimes it's them. Sometimes it's circumstance.
It's Not Just Me
If we don't remind ourselves that success in love -- and in life -- is possible to achieve, we behave as if it's not. I speak from experience. Every romantic relationship I've ever had was ended by my partner. Before I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, I wondered why I attracted such men. That explains the drama surrounding my breakup with a former partner, who moved to New York City to put distance between us.
After my learning about my ADD/ADHD, my dramatic relationships continued -- sometimes with ferocity, sometimes with a dollop of self-awareness. And there were the same consequences. I now know it's not always my fault, but, like any good ADHD-er, I can't shut down that inner voice telling me I'm a mess.
Recently, while dating a pastry chef, that inner voice dulled to a whisper, though I still wondered when I would cause the relationship to destruct. During a subsequent short-lived affair with a raging narcissist, who was a total screw-up, I wondered what I was going to do to ruin it.
Sharing My Secret
When my latest boyfriend, a transplant from Texas, dumped me, last month, in an IHOP in Chicago's Boystown nightlife neighborhood at 1:30 in the morning (pathetic, I know), I could barely hear his words over the scream of my inner voice. The next day, I told him about that voice.
Our talk was enlightening. The breakup wasn't only my fault, of course. Tex and I are better as friends than as lovers. But our talk helped me see how much I'd given in to bad thoughts about myself, and how that negative force added friction to my relationships.
The moral of my story is that we should treat ourselves with a big, open heart, when it comes to our foibles, of which ADD/ADHD symptoms are a part. Staying in the moment -- and reminding ourselves that happiness is possible -- is vital to avoid giving in to a dark view of our future.
If my ADD/ADHD life is going to be played as a foregone conclusion, I'd rather that conclusion be a happy one. Wouldn't you? Or, as I put it to Tex, over dinner, "So, it wasn't my ADHD...Hey! Pass the ketchup!"

Watch a video of the hearing and download Allan Goodman and other speakers' testimony from the hearing website
WASHINGTON, D.C., May, 21, 2012—Speaking at a May 21 Senate hearing entitled: "A National Security Crisis: Foreign Language Capabilities in the Federal Government," IIE President Allan E. Goodman called for a greater commitment to foreign language instruction at U.S. colleges and universities, stating that a knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is essential to our national security and to preparing Americans to meet the demands of the global workforce.
The hearing was convened by the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia, under the auspices of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Sen. Daniel K. Akaka (D-Hawaii), chairman of the subcommittee, said national security agencies "continue to experience shortages of people skilled in hard-to-learn languages due to a limited pool of Americans to recruit from."
Dr. Goodman was invited to testify based on IIE's role in assisting the federal government in administering key academic exchange and public diplomacy initiatives as well as his participation on a Council on Foreign Relations Task Force, chaired by Joel Klein, former Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, and Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State, which recently published a report entitled "US Education Reform and National Security." IIE administers the David L. Boren scholarships and fellowships and The Language Flagship, on behalf of the National Security Education Program, and the Benjamin A. Gilman scholarships and the Fulbright Program on behalf of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Dr. Goodman endorsed the CFR Task Force's call for a national security "readiness audit" to determine on a nation-wide basis how many students are mastering "important national security skills, such as learning foreign languages," noting that such an audit would help us all to achieve the better coordination among federal, state, and local governments, the private sector, and academia in addressing the gaps about which this Subcommittee has been so persistently and correctly concerned. He reiterated the CFR report's emphatic warning that "educational failure puts the United States' future prosperity, global position and physical safety at risk," and its conclusion that "the United States must produce enough citizens with critical skills to fill the ranks of the Foreign Service, the intelligence community, and the armed forces. For the United States to maintain its military and diplomatic leadership role, it needs highly qualified and capable men and women to conduct its foreign affairs."
Speaking about what is being done to endorse the shortfall in foreign language speakers, Dr. Goodman described Boren, Gilman, and Fulbright programs as efficient and effective higher education initiatives that are strategically targeted to build these capacities. He said that the these programs are making a difference in terms of the number of young Americans who are getting the language training and area studies expertise needed for government service. However, he called on U.S. higher education to do more to require foreign language competence and better prepare the workforce.
"Learning and using another's language teaches that we cannot solve world problems on our own no matter how many Chinese and Indians speak English," Dr. Goodman concluded in his written testimony. "Languages convey more than facts; they enable people to reach conclusions in different ways and are the standard bearers of cultures from which we can also learn. It has never been more important for more Americans to know that, especially as they prepare for and enter careers of service to the nation and in departments and agencies that all aim at making the world we share a less dangerous place."

How close was Svendsen to accomplishing one of the biggest Olympic boners of all time? Real freaking close:The two had identical finishing times, but the photo finish shows Svendsen got his toes across the line first. That's the part that matters—IBU rules state that the winner is the skier with "the first part of the first foot crossing the finish line."AdvertisementSvendsen tried to downplay the tight finish, saying "I actually had pretty good control even though it looked very, very close. It looked closer than it was for me."It wouldn't have come down to this had Fourcade not missed a target and been forced to ski a 150-meter penalty loop. But the Frenchman already has two golds at these games, so maybe shooting himself in the foot didn't hurt too badly.AdvertisementFrom Getty Images, a pair of shots of the finish: Reply35 repliesLeave a reply

Course reviews

Interesting course. Lots of elevation and tight wood shots but fair runs. Would like to go back and play white tees.
+0 votes Jeremy LeCrone › July 9, 2014
A good course for a second round of the day. Don't expect a championship quality course, but it has some good technical challenges and good signage. Stop by after a good round at Crockett, or when the family is spending the day at the mall. The shade is nice on sweltering days, but you had better bring the bug spray!
+0 votes Nick Murdic › July 25, 2012
This is a decent course with good elevation. In my humble opinion, the course would be better if the holes varied a bit. Don't forget your Off insect spray; I know it's the great outdoors, but I get bit by more critters here than anywhere else. Also on hole 3, a creek bed runs along the fairway. There is a line of trees and shrubs between the creek bed and the fairway but a disc still may slice through and land in the creek bed that some times has up to 5 feet of water at certain points, so be careful.

i liked this course alot especially the temp holes!!! had to really work on my "easy" throwing. it is definitly not a grip and rip course. the TD did a 100% gret job.

He might have been a Coastie, but Arnold Palmer had his own army. The golfing legend who inspired a devoted group of fans known as "Arnie's Army," Palmer was already a golf phenom when he enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1950, after dropping out of Wake Forest. As he later recounted, "I was at Wake Forest for three and a half years and my roommate got killed in an automobile accident and I was pretty distraught over that and decided that I needed to get away." Palmer credits his service with helping him give his life some direction. "The knowledge that I gained, the maturity that I gained in the Coast Guard was unbelievable. It matured me," he said. "It made me a better person… The military isn't just restrictions and military duties. It's learning and it's very important that young people have that opportunity to learn and to know themselves a little better, and I think the military helps put that in the right perspective."
