Today we must remember all the victims of persecution in China
- the Uighurs and Tibetans who are senselessly killed solely for seeking to preserve their identity and culture,
- the democracy activists, human rights defenders and political dissidents who stand up for universal human rights values,
- the Christian evangelicals and members of house church congregations, repressed for holding a belief which the Chinese state does not control, and
- all those who protest the arbitrary power of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese state.
On this day, we should pay especial attention to the persecution of the practitioners of Falun Gong. The Communist Party of China decided ten years ago, on July 20, 1999, to have the Government of China ban the practice of Falun Gong. The Government announced the ban two days later.
Falun Gong is a set of exercises with a spiritual foundation based on Taoism and Buddhism. Since the banning, the practitioners of Falun Gong have been persecuted in China far worse than any other victim group.
• The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture reports that 66% of the victims of torture and ill-treatment in China are Falun Gong practitioners. The next largest group is Uighurs at 11%. Every other victim group is single digits.
• The extremes of language the Chinese government uses against the Falun Gong are unparalleled, unmatched by the comparatively mild criticisms China has of other victims. The standard regime refrain about the Falun Gong community is that it is an evil cult, though the practice of Falun Gong has none of the characteristics of a cult.
• The documented yearly arbitrary killings and disappearances of Falun Gong exceed by far the totals for any other victim group. Since the banning, over three thousand named Falun Gong practitioners have died as a result of the persecution.
• The United States Department of State's Country Reports provide that Falun Gong adherents constitute at least half of the inmates in the country's re-education-through-labour camps.
• Human rights lawyers, left alone when they defend other unpopular causes, are persecuted once they defend Falun Gong practitioners. That was the case for Gao Zhisheng who was fine despite taking on a number of unpopular causes, until he opposed the victimization of Falun Gong. Now he is disbarred; his office has been shut down; he has been brutally tortured; his family was forced to flee China to escape danger; he has been arbitrarily detained and has disappeared.
• Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners sentenced to death are the sole victims of forced organ harvesting, the extraction and sale of their organs to patients in need of transplants. Former Minister of State for Asia and the Pacific David Kilgour and I released a report in July 2006 and a revised report in January 2007 which came to the conclusion that practitioners of Falun Gong were being killed for their organs throughout China from 2001 to the date of our report. Since our report has come out, statistics show that this problem has got even worse.
This mistreatment since 1999 raises four questions. Why does the Communist Party of China and the Government it controls treat practitioners of Falun Gong so badly? What can explain the survival of the practice of Falun Gong in the face of this brutal repression? What does this experience - the unsuccessful, fierce repression of the practice of Falun Gong - mean for the future of China? What can be done to end the persecution?
A. Causes of persecution
Why are practitioners of Falun Gong treated so badly?
1. One reason is simply the numbers. Falun Gong before it was banned had, according to a 1999 Government estimate, 70 million adherents. A group of that size no matter what its belief attracts the attention of a repressive government.
2. The Communist Party needs enemies in order to justify their continuing hold on power. The Falun Gong had the bad luck to be around in sufficient numbers to fill the enemy slot.
3. The Falun Gong community embrace three basic beliefs - compassion, tolerance and truth. Anyone who believes in any one of these principles spells trouble for the Communist Party government - a cruel, repressive, dishonest regime.
4. The practice of Falun Gong went from a standing start in 1992 to numbers greater than the membership of the Party within the space of seven years, spreading rapidly throughout China immediately after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of Communist Party control in Central Asia and Eastern and Central Europe. The Party in China feared a similar collapse, a similar loss of control.
5. Fifth, the amorphous nature of Falun Gong meant that it was impossible for the Communist Party to control it. Falun Gong is neither a movement nor an organization; it is not even people. It is rather a set of exercises with a spiritual foundation.
6. The mobilization capacity of Falun Gong practitioners alarmed and frightened the Communist Party. An event of April 25th, 1999, petitioning the Communist Party against the arrest and beatings of practitioners in Tianjin a few days earlier, was the largest gathering in Beijing since the Tiananmen square massacre. Many of the leadership in the Party had no advance warning of this event and were startled.
7. The ability of the Falun Gong community to take advantage of modern technology, the internet and cell phones, to gather in large numbers worried the Party. This phenomenon was unknown in China before it was manifested through the Falun Gong community.
8. Though the Falun Gong is not an organization with a leadership, the Communist Party of China surely is. The Communist Party of China saw the Falun Gong community as a mirror of itself, organizationally similar, but ideologically different.
9. The practice of Falun Gong was inspired by the writings and teachings of Li Hongzhi. Then Chinese president Jiang Zemin was envious of Li Hongzhi's efforts, that something an outsider proposed could become so popular while his own writings languished in obscurity.
10. Many Falun Gong practitioners, in an attempt to protect their families and communities, did not identify themselves once arrested. These unidentified are more vulnerable than other detainees because no one who knows them knows where they are and no one who detains them knows who they are.
11. Repressed democracy activists, journalists, human rights defenders, Tibetan and Christian activists generate more sympathy than the Falun Gong because they are more familiar to outsiders, more in tune with outsider sensibilities. The Falun Gong are recent, without an obvious link to global traditions.
12. Falun Gong is authentically Chinese, rooted in ancient Chinese traditions. Communism, in contrast, is a Western ideological import into China. Communists saw a widespread, popular Chinese-based ideology as cutting out from under them the very ground on which they stood.
B. The survival of the practice of Falun Gong
How has the practice of Falun Gong been able to survive in the face of this brutal repression?
1. An obvious explanation is the appeal of the practice and its associated beliefs to practitioners. No practice or belief system could survive the cruelty of Communism unless its adherents had a deep commitment to their beliefs.
2. The practice of Falun Gong has spread world wide. David Kilgour and I, in the course of travelling the planet to campaign against the abuse of organ harvesting our report documents, have seen this phenomenon more than anyone.
In Mexico, Falun Gong practitioners are primarily Mexicans; in Israel, they are primarily Israelis; in Holland they are primarily Dutch, and so on. The practice of Falun Gong started in China but, in most countries where it has spread, is no longer exclusively or even primarily Chinese. Chinese government repression has little traction on these non-Chinese adherents.
3. Modern technology is a boon to any popular idea including the ideas behind the practice of Falun Gong. The Government of China is powerless against the internet, satellite and cell phone technology outside of China. Even inside China, the Communist Party control of modern technology is far from complete.
4. The amorphous nature of Falun Gong has meant that it is impossible for the Communist Party to control it. For the practice of Falun Gong, there is no organizational leadership. That means that there is no one the Government of China can appoint to head the Falun Gong.
If Falun Gong had an organizational leadership, the Party, as it had done with the major religions, would have appointed some of its cronies and said that they were the leadership of the Falun Gong. There is a Chinese government appointed Buddhist Panchen Lama, Chinese government selected Roman Catholic bishops, Chinese government chosen Muslim imams. But Falun Gong does not lend itself to this sort of usurpation.
5. Because Falun Gong is a practice or exercise regime, and not an organization, it lacks all the elements of an organization. That has a down side - weaknesses in communication and coordination, the lack of a charitable tax number and a total absence of staffing and funding.
But it also has an upside, the heavy contribution of volunteers. Through collaborative volunteer effort and voluntary donations directly from individuals to the purchase of specific goods and service, the Falun Gong community world wide produces a newspaper -the Epoch Times, runs a satellite TV and radio network - New Tang Dynasty TV and Sound of Hope radio, and tours a classical Chinese dancing company and orchestra - the Divine Performing Arts.
Members of organizations with professional staff tend to leave their staff to do the heavy lifting. The Falun Gong community have no such luxury and more than compensate for it.
6. Falun Gong rose to fill a vacuum, the abandonment of the belief in Communism world wide. Communism today in China is not so much a belief system as an organizing idiom for power. For those uninterested in climbing up the greasy Chinese pole to power, Chinese Communism means nothing. For those who want to believe in something beyond their own careers, Falun Gong is an answer.
7. The rise of Falun Gong speaks not just to the collapse in the belief in Communism but also to the basic human need for spirituality. We are used to thinking of spiritual beliefs as old, something developed centuries even millenia ago. The beliefs though which survive from ancient times continue not because they are old, but because they speak to the constantly changing present.
The development and rapid growth of Falun Gong, a modern spiritual belief, a belief system which began only in 1992, tells us for sure something about China and Communism. But it also exists and endures because of something fundamental to human nature, the longing for spiritual fulfilment.
8. Though Falun Gong is no longer exclusively Chinese, it has a particular resonance for the Chinese people, the Chinese soul. Its updating and blending of strongly rooted, well developed ancient Chinese exercise and spiritual traditions meant Falun Gong was immediately and deeply appealing to a Chinese people who had seen the Communist belief system nominally inserted to replace those ancient beliefs crumbling around and underneath them.
9. The nonsense the Government of China produced to combat the Falun Gong is all too easy to ignore. It is impossible to ignore torture, arb itrary detention and execution. But the ideology behind this repression, that Falun Gong is an evil cult, is so obviously disconnected from reality to anyone who knows even the least bit about the practice of Falun Gong, the beliefs of Falun Gong or individual practitioners, that it was hard for anyone other than Chinese Communist Party adherents or their fellow travellers to take it seriously.
10. The vicious, unbridled persecution of Falun Gong has had a perverse effect for the persecutors. The persecution has made vocal people who would otherwise have been silent.
Many believers have dug in their heels. Their reaction to the lies the Party and Government have spread about the Falun Gong and the persecution they inflicted on the Falun Gong is to convey to as many people as possible the nature of Falun Gong, as well as the cruelty of the persecution.
The persecution has won over to practitioners of Falun Gong sympathizers they would not otherwise have, people who are not practitioners but who oppose human rights violations. It hard to think of a more searing indictment of Chinese communism than that it has led to the killing of innocents so that their organs could be sold to transplant tourists.
IV. The future of China
Well what does all mean for the future of China? An historical guide is the persecution of Christianity by the Roman empire. Eventually, despite that persecution, the Roman Empire became Christian.
Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in 312 A.D. Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of the empire in 391 A.D. The belief in Christianity had grown so strong and the belief in the traditional Roman values had grown so weak that Christianity became a better organizing idiom for the empire than the old Roman values.
One can see the same happening in China. Communism today is incapable of holding China together. At some time the leadership will realize that they need a better set of principles than they have got if they are going to maintain China as a going concern.
Though the teachings of Li Hongzhi have no political content or intent, he managed to articulate a set of beliefs which reverberates with the Chinese people. At some point, the leadership of China wil
l realize this. The Chinese leadership today treats the Falun Gong as their worst enemy, imprisoning and torturing them more than any other group, killing only them and prisoners sentenced to death for their organs. At some point, they will realize that the Falun Gong are their best friends, an authentic Chinese belief system that is capable of keeping China united, that is capable of keeping China, to use the catchword of the muddled ideology of current Chinese President Hu Jintao, harmonious.
China one day will be predominantly Falun Gong not because the current set of Falun Gong practitioners will one day take over the leadership of China but because the leadership of China will one day become Falun Gong practitioners. In the wings of the stage of Chinese history stands a Constantine.
V. Ending the persecution
It took over three hundred years before from the birth of Jesus Christ to the Christianizing of the Roman Empire. We cannot afford to wait that long to end the persecution of the Falun Gong nor to stop abusive organ sourcing in China.
Today, not three hundred y ears from today:
• The persecution of all victims in China, including Falun Gong practitioners, should stop.
• Those complicit persecution in China, including organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, should be brought to justice.
How will that happen? Those who are most free to stand against Chinese human rights violations, those whose stance carries most graphically the universal human rights message, and, consequently, those whose opposition China finds hardest to ignore, are those with no connection to China whatsoever. When it comes to mobilizing those who are neither Chinese nationals nor ethnic Chinese to combating human rights violations in China, by far the biggest obstacle is indifference.
The way to end human rights abuses in China is for those who are neither Chinese nationals nor ethnic Chinese to shake off indifference to those abuses. If we do that, if we act persistently, act publicly, act now, those violations will end.

Bar Curio, first specialist Japanese whisky bar outside of Japan
It has slowly dawned on me in recent weeks that Paris is, without doubt, become the most exciting city for Japanese whisky outside of Japan itself.
Last month, Nonjatta carried an item about a temporary store devoted entirely to the Japanese good stuff opened by La Maison du Whisky at 6 Carrefour de L' Odéon in the French capital.The response was so enthusiastic that the store stayed open until January 23, a week later than originally planned (update: according to Kenneth Maxwell, author of the excellent WSJ article last week, they are keeping a small display of Japanese whisky in the store, although the focus has now turned to other drinks). People were traveling from outside France to get their Japanese whisky fix.
But that is not the half of Paris's burgeoning Japanese whisky obsession.. Of course, Paris has La Maison du Whisky at 20 la rue d'Anjou, the official distributor of Nikka whisky in Europe and probably the leading Japanese whisky retailer outside of Japan, but it also has the only bar outside of Japan endorsed by Nikka whisky: Le Nikka Bar du Curio Parlor, in the cellar of the Curio Parlor cocktail club (www.curioparlor.com). I have never been but, with thirty odd Nikka whiskies in stock, and monthly "Nikka'fterwork" tasting events, offering unique opportunities to try some of the very rarest Japanese whiskies, I will definitely be visiting if I ever do find myself in France. The bar, at 16 rue des Bernardins (tel. 01 44 07 12 47), is open 6pm-2am, Monday to Thursday and until 5 am at the weekend.
Last night (28.1.10), for instance, lucky drinkers at a 10 Euro-a-ticket "Nikka'fterwork" tasting (see the bar's facebook page for information on these events) had a chance to taste the very rare Single Malt Miyagikyo 1989. Only 36 bottles for Europe!
La Maison has a big part to play in the Curio. One of the owners of the bar, Romée de Goriainoff traveled to Japan in the spring of 2008 on a trip organised by the distributor. On the first night of the trip, he sampled Nikka's phenomenal Taketsuru 35-year-old with Nikka top brass at the Nikka Blender's Bar in Tokyo (a tasting which I, rather embarrassingly and unknowingly, gatecrashed, but that is another story). On the second day, he was in the Nikka Bar in Sapporo having visited the beautiful Yoichi distillery. De Goriainoff fell in love with Japanese whisky and the quality of the country's products so impressed his partners, Olivier Bon and Pierre-Charles Gros, that they decided to open their open Japanese whisky bar at the Curio Parlor.
Over the coming months I will be trying to keep Nonjatta readers updated with the latest developments in Paris, as many as the many other locations across the world where interest is currently bubbling over (send in any news items, please!). The Japanese whisky world becomes more genuinely global by the month.

Maybe less head shaking will help it become less infected?
I'm educating the teacher!
I actually don't think its infected (though obviously can't be sure)
I'll see if I can explain why I think it came back... Aural = ear, hematoma = collection of blood in a localized area in the tissues. With aural hematomas in dogs, a blood vessel breaks inside the tissues of the ear and kind of "leaks" out. So, when we drained it, there was an area already sort of all stretched out in there, and since we had no way of stopping the leak in the blood vessel and there was a bit of head shaking to "help" the leak, it has filled back up.
Of course, it could be infection, which would most definitely need to be drained and attended to, and the only way (well, if there was a lot of redness, swelling and heat coming from the area of the hematoma would give a strong likelyhood of infection, but that would also have be confirmed with a needle) to know for sure is to aspirate ("poke") with a needle again and see what the fluid that is drawn out looks like; bloody & watery = from the leaky blood vessel, thicker opaque fluid with a lighter tone to it and perhaps a green or yellow tinge would indicate infection, and this could be confirmed by taking some and looking at it under a microscope.
Any techs or vets are welcome to correct if I have something not quite right.

Yet we're to believe that spending 20 years in Jeremiah Wright's Jew hating church had no ill effects on this President or his policies:
How much does Barack Obama hate Israel and want to throw her under the bus? Here's how much; the Obama administration not only excluded Israel from a new counterterrorism forum in Spain, it didn't even mention Israel in its remarks. If there were ever a country that has dealt with murderous terrorist attacks over and over again, that country would be Israel.
Here's what Maria Otero, the State Department's Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights, said:
Last September at the official launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum, I had the privilege to introduce the premiere of a film 'Hear their Voices', which tells the stories of eleven survivors of terrorist attacks from Pakistan, Jordan, Northern Ireland, Uganda, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Spain, Columbia, and the United States. The film, which was produced by the Global Survivors Network, is a powerful plea for audiences around the world, especially those sympathetic to the grievances expressed by extremists, to recognize the human cost of terrorism and I am delighted that our Spanish hosts are planning on showing this film here later this afternoon.
When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the coalition's formation in June, she didn't include Israel on her list of countries that suffer from terror attacks. In the controversy that followed, the supposition was that Obama and his minions caved into pressure from Turkey, whose leadership has become Islamist, and other Arab states, which hate Israel.
Defenders of Israel were furious, even those who were Democrats.
There's more.
Have we ever had an administration this openly disdainful of Israel?
I don't believe so.

A spokesperson for Tara Reid has denied reports the actress threw a drunken tantrum in a Los Angeles clothes shop after she was denied a discount.
The "American Pie" star is said to have screamed at employees in the All Saints store when they asked her to pay full price for her purchases.
A witness told the New York Post's gossip column Page Six that Reid demanded a discount "because of her fame," adding, "She was screaming. She had to be escorted out by security. She seemed drunk."
However, a representative for Reid insists, "Tara gets a huge discount with All Saints in the U.K. and Paris because she's a walking billboard for them. She gets photographed… so they give her huge hook-ups. We told them we get a discount, and they said they'd email the press team.
"She was definitely not drunk. People love to say Tara's hammered and this and that… whoever is saying that is not on Team Tara."

Officials in Glendora wasted no time in reacting as it raised the city's alert level to yellow and enacted parking restrictions in case of mud or debris flows from the bare hillsides of the recent Colby Fire burn area, officials said.
"There could be the possibility of thunderstorms associated with this which could cause heavier downpours that may cause light mud flows in some areas of the Colby Fire impact area," the statement said. "Current forecasts by either NOAA or L.A. County flood control do not indicate any heavy potential mud flows."
"Yellow alert asks residents in the Impact Area to be alert and mindful that there is a storm forecasted and conditions could change and be more intense than currently forecasted," according to the city statement.
The alert involves no evacuations or restrictions, however residents in the Colby Fire area are advised to not park vehicles along the street, as well as remove trash bins or other obstructions from roadways. Vehicles and objects left in the street may be towed or removed.
"It looks like we're going to get probably a quarter-inch to three-quarters of an inch (Monday) night into Tuesday," Meteorologist Curt Caplan of the National Weather Service's Oxnard office said. The snow level was expected to drop to between 5,000 and 5,500 feet.
"We'll get a few hours of steady rain with this first front that's going to move through," Caplan said. "We'll probably have some scattered showers Tuesday into Tuesday evening.
Rain amounts could be higher if thunderstorms accompany the rainfall, however that was not expected to be the case, Caplan said. Any thunderstorms associated with the incoming weather system were expected to dissipate well before reaching Los Angeles County.
"Right now, we don't expect anything," Caplan said. "That could change."
Light showers may continue into Wednesday in Los Angeles County, officials said, and they were likely in the Inland Empire, according to the NWS.
A second "very weak" weather system was en route to reach the region by Thursday night, Caplan said. "We don't expect much in the amount of rain."
Partly cloudy conditions and high temperatures in the mid-70s are predicted by Saturday in the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys, as well as the Inland Empire.
And by Sunday, clear skies and high temperatures near 80 degrees are expected throughout the region.

I've been interviewing a number of physicians in our summer hiring drive, and orienting the new crop of docs we have starting with us. It's really amazing. These are all highly accomplished, intelligent people who have trained for years and years to get to the point where they can finally enter the indsustry. On average, it's eleven years: 4 years of college, 4 of med school, and 3 of specialty training.
But they know nothing about the business of medicine. Not a thing. How charges are determined, how the documentation affects the coding, how the patient encounter turns into dollars of revenue, the differences between payers, contracting, etc.
How can it be that you can spend seven years of professional education and come out of it knowing nothing about the basic operations of the industry? It's not the students. They're bright and motivated, and usually pretty interested. And casting my mind back just a couple of years ago to when I came out of residency, I knew nothing about business either. It's the educators' fault, I think. During my seven years in acedemia, I was never exposed to any formal business training. Not once.
I don't know whether it arises from an ivory-tower academic disdain for mammon that the business side of the education is so neglected. Or whether it's because many of the instructors in medical schools have spent their entire careers in academics and actually know nothing about community-based medicine. Or whether the complexity and byzantine nature of the business just seems impossible to convey in the minimal time alloted so they don't even try. either way, it's a pity.
Hmm. If I were designing a curriculum for medical students (or better, residents) what subjects would it cover? It should be reasonable -- you don't need an MBA to practice medicine. Key topics might be:
- Contracting (for individuals)
- Malpractice (both Risk Management and Liability Insurance)
- The basics of ICD-9 and CPT coding, and documentation
- The RVU system and the mechanics of billing
- Practice Finance
- Contracting (third party payors & hospitals)
- Health Policy (Macro)

The Right Way to Adopt and Tips to Avoid a Scam
"If you're thinking about adopting a child, do it. There are so many children who want and need that special and safe place," Dr. Phil says. He shares tips to ensure a successful adoption. Don't be scared to adopt; learn the facts to empower yourself to move forward with confidence.
Decide What Type of Adoption to Pursue
Can you handle a child who has special needs? What age range, background and ethnicity would fit best within your household? Can you welcome a group of two or more siblings into your home?
Select an Adoption Agency
There are public and private adoption agencies. Public agencies do not charge money or charge very little. They mostly place children with special needs and typically have flexible eligibility requirements for adoptive parents. Private agencies usually charge a fee. They give you access to a diverse population of available children.
To find an agency, visit: www.childwelfare.gov/nfcad/index.cfm. You can also contact your state's Department of Human Services or Social Services, Child and Family Services and Health and Welfare Services and ask to speak with the adoption specialist.
Attend Adoption and Parenting Classes
Stay informed about the steps in an adoption process, so you can recognize if the process goes off course. Public agencies often require pre-placement training to acquaint prospective parents with issues that may arise after a child is placed in their home.
Begin Searching for a Child
If you adopt through an agency, find out how the agency conducts searches for children. Will the agency help you find a child outside of your local area? Stay in close contact with your agency and offer to help in the search process.
Select a Child or Sibling Group to Bring into Your Family
Before agreeing to adopt, learn as much as you can about the child or children. This should be a studied decision, not forced.
Prepare for Your Child's Arrival
Anticipate how the addition of a new family member will affect your life and plan accordingly, including preparing your house and other children, as well as arranging services for you and your child.
File a Petition to Adopt
An adoption petition is the document filed in the court that initiates the legal aspect of adoption. Adoptive parents use this to formally request permission to adopt a specific child. To file a petition, you will need the child's birth certificate or birth date and place of birth, a written statement that confirms your desire and suitability to adopt, a written declaration that the adoption is in the child's best interest, your name, age and address, the date on which and from whom you received custody of the child, a statement of the legal reason why the birth parents' rights are being terminated and a disclosure of any relationship that you share with the child.
Finalize the Adoption
Complete the necessary adoption paperwork and make sure it gets filed.
Read the Fine Print
You want to adopt with your heart, but also with your head. Read all the papers and make sure you agree to what you're signing.
For more information and to learn more about the adoption process, visit The North American Council on Adoptable Children at nacac.org.
Tips to Avoid an Adoption Scam
Don't pay the full amount up front.
Adoption agencies don't control timetables. Be cautious if they tell you they will bring you a child faster than another agency.
You are allowed to take months to decide on a child. The decision does not need to be made overnight.
Ask about post-adoptive services and counseling to help you figure out this new time in your life.
An adoption professional shouldn't be offended when you ask questions for more information.
Check the Better Business Bureau and the American Bar Association to find out who you're dealing with, and don't agree to terms based on faith in someone.

Smolenak Jumps to KHL
According to a story released today on the team's official website, the Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik of the KHL have signed Lightning left wing prospect Radek Smolenak to a contract for next season. Smolenak's three-year entry level contract with the Lightning expired at the end of this season, although Tampa could retain his NHL rights as restricted free agent by tendering a qualifying offer.
Smolenak seemed poised to push for a roster position next season with the Lightning next season after having a breakout season with Tampa's AHL minor league affiliate the Norfolk Admirals. Smolenak posted career highs in nearly every statistical category by posting 24 goals and 25 assists in 71 AHL games while amassing 165 penalty minutes. Smolenak recorded 1 assist in 6 games with the Lightning during a brief mid-season recall.
There is no word regarding the length of the contract Smolenak signed with the Petrochemists or whether the contract contains an "NHL out", and there is no word yet whether Tampa intends to retain his rights by tendering a qualifying offer to the tough left winger. Hat tip to the members of the BoltProspects message board for the heads-up on this story.

Hello. It has been quite some time since I have been given the opportunity to get up on the Fecal Face blog, but it's finally happening! I hope you're excited, as I have an earful.
Calexico - "Carried To Dust"
Awhile ago now I was saddled with the task of reviewing the new Calexico album "Carried To Dust". Honestly I'm not a fan, in that I have always been initially turned off by their album art work alone, but this just means I have never really listened to their music. I do, however have the vague recollection that they are an adult contemporary outfit with a Latin flavor (Latin flavor denoted by aforementioned low rider style "I got an air brushed/puffy paint t-shirt at the county fair" album covers). I listened to the album a few times and it turns out that Calexico are indeed an adult contemporary band with a Latin flavor (that is, there is a brass section and they intermittently sing in Spanish). This is really not my bag at all but I imagine (with the risk of sounding too presumptuous) that anyone who has already established him/herself as a fan will not be disappointed by this offering, conversely I don't think Calexico will be winning any new fans either. If they do, I foresee the make-up of proposed crowd as persons who have just given up trying to dig for more interesting stuff and are content to be pleasantly serenaded as they sip their after work glass of white wine (is that the quintessential facet of adult contemporary?).
Young Jeezy "The Recession"
Moving on, when asked to do this review I coincidentally had other items of new and old stuff in mind I wanted to write up as well, so I did.
First off is the new Young Jeezy "The Recession". Too be entirely honest I have been waiting for this disc since his last one "The Inspiration" came out in 2006. Jeezy had not been on my radar after the 2005 single "Do It For My Hood" because it reminded me too much of T.I.'s "Rubberband Man" which confusingly enough I think is a great song. The similarity was the actual track, which is rife with an upbeat major scale which I have little tolerance for in hip hop. Jeezy got it right though on his second offering "The Inspiration", with it's continuous anthemic horns and strings being firmly held down by double time and triple time shuffling hi-hats coupled with an unabashed utilization of 80s throw back toms and kicks. Also, if I recall correctly, there are no smooth hip hop/r & b crossover fuck ballads on the disc which is the second thing I have no time for in hip hop. In the same re-hash style of the Calexico album, 2008's "The Recession" is a continuation of "The Inspiration" with it's like-minded production. I doubt it will convert any new fans but will for sure satisfy the old ones. One differentiating mark to "The Recession" however, is that Jeezy attempts some mildly political themes (title denoting said motivation), that is to say that 1) at the beginning of "Crazy World" he chuckles and says "y'all better vote for Barrack O'drama, a black president and shit", hmm...yes 2) the actual CD is a grainy black and white picture of an American Flag as well as Jeezy being draped with one himself on the cover and 3) the tray art has a grizzled hand held out with an assortment of loose change. A photo poignantly indicating the idea of a recession? I suppose. It's no Dead Prez or anything but cooking up a grilled cheese to this record gets you super pumped about eating a grilled cheese, so I would imagine weighing bricks of cocaine to this record probably gets you pumped about selling cocaine, and that's all Young Jeezy's really trying to do right?
Lora Logic's solo album "Pedigree Charm"
Moving on, if you happen to be one of those people who keeps a running list of records to be on the look out for, I have two more candidates for you:
One, Lora Logic's solo album "Pedigree Charm" on Rough Trade circa 1982. This record took me a couple listens to dig but it is well worth it. Lora Logic was the sax player for X-ray Spex briefly, left that band and started her own project Essential Logic who only recorded one album before dissolving. "Pedigree Charm" followed and it's a super solid strangely orchestrated funk/punk record with Bat mitzvah sax and Logic's syrupy crooning all over it. It gets music nerd bonus points for including Charles Hayward of ridiculously fantastic British experimental post- punk band This Heat drumming on the majority of the songs as well. I also read (who wikipedia'd Lora Logic?) that an early incarnation of Essential Logic included William Bennett of Whitehouse (whom all the kids seem to throw their friends down the stairs over) on guitar. Believe me, this record needs to be owned by you. Although, if you just need the actual songs and not the fetishized 12" long player, Kill Rock Stars released a 2 CD collection of Logic's recordings which includes "Pedigree Charm", the Essential Logic album and newer songs demos etc. I'm sure that's fairly awesome too.
Polyphonic Size
Secondly, In accordance with all this 80s French synth and dark-wave material that is slowly being re-released on various collections I would like to throw in my two cents: Polyphonic Size (Size silly, not Spree). They are sorely absent from these aforementioned collections, namely because (I believe) they are Belgian not French, though they sing in French and English but are by far a better example of the scene these comps (that is "Bippp", "So Young But So Cold", "Des Jeunes Gens Modernes" etc.) attempt to conjure up than a lot of their actual offerings. It appears most PS records were produced by Stranglers bassist JJ Burnel (whose solo track "Euroman" was a stand out on the "So Young but So Cold" comp (and his entire record "Euroman Cometh" is pretty much perfect)); the tracks perhaps shine brighter due to this man's hands at the controls. Polyphonic Size's album "Live For Each Moment" or "Vivre Pour Chaque Instant" is a brilliant submission in the international new wave/experimental genre. Disaffected male and female vocals trade off over steady melancholy synths and bare bones drum patterns. There is literally not a bad moment contained within as you will flip the record over once to the B side and then upon it's conclusion flip it back over to the A, and repeat. It's kind of like washing your hair, but only if you dance like a robot, get caught dancing like a robot, which in turn gives way to you being mistakenly ridiculed for practicing a new mime routine and not just dancing like a robot all the while you still have suds on your scalp which are slowly dripping down your forehead and making a break for your eyes. Your eyes begin to sting but the propulsion of Polyphonic Size's beat won't let you halt your herky jerky gyrations, and there you are dancing like a robot with a hair and face full of soap. Pretty awesome, right?
Treasure Island Music Fest
In the present world that isn't flooded with the early 80s but is sometimes flooded with sequencers and the like, I was able to get some tickets to the Treasure Island Music Fest that took place a few weeks ago. It was probably the best experience I have had at an outdoor music festival for the following reasons:
1) free tickets, free ride, free parking pass
2) the timing could not have been more perfect in that my friends and I arrived right before Justice played, who were the only band I was really interested in seeing
3) Justice were great
Taking in the crowd was a whole other experience all together though. As I stated before we arrived about 8:30 pm, most of us having just come from work. The majority of the people I saw however, had shuttled over there around noon (when the event actually started), and appeared from this time on to have been taking liberal advantage of the outdoor/unsupervised aspect with healthy doses of drugs and booze. I swear looking around during one of the many climaxes of Justice's set that the crowd encircling me were all peaking on acid, ecstasy, assortments of pills or maybe a little bit of all of the above as I witnessed many eyes rolling into the backs of skulls. Somehow I doubt it was the euphoric sonic peaks and valleys being poured out of that giant P.A. system, that's for sure. Just to my right a very intoxicated couple were trying to coax each other into migrating back to the bus which was taking folks back to San Francisco post festival. The only thing being accomplished however, was the boyfriend making his best attempts to prop his girlfriend up as she continuously slithered through his arms, and then cursing her for getting too high. Now multiply this small scenario by I don't know, two thousand and then add in raining glow sticks from the sky coupled with intoxicated rave dancing and that is exactly what that night was like. Here are some photos Carlos Arrieta took:
V.I.P. parking area
This man is driving you home tonight.
Don't get on their bad side.
A "green"-minded music festival. Between performances one of the staff members would get on the mic and implore people to pick up their trash. "No can-do, I think I've just achieved the perfect high underneath my drug rug".
Justice moves the crowd completely equipped with 9 by 9 stacks of hollowed out under-lit Marshall cabinets.
Long wait home for some.
Return to the V.I.P. parking Random stuff:
Clarion Alley Mural Project Block Party is upon us yet again next Saturday October 25th. A bunch of bands are playing and other types of hip revelry are to be had. It starts at noon and goes until early night (9/10 pm-ish?), plus it's free!
My house-mate John Dwyer, and I did an interview for L.A. Record a month ago so check that out.

Sharks beat Oilers, complete Western Canada sweepby Derek Van Diest
EDMONTON -- The San Jose Sharks completed the first three-game sweep through Western Canada in franchise history by beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 on Friday night.
Joe Pavelski, Tomas Hertl and Patrick Marleau scored to help the Sharks complete a run of three wins in four days against the Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and the Oilers.
"Coming off back-to-back nights, you want to get off to a good start, and we were able to do that with two early ones," said captain Joe Thornton, who assisted on the goals by Hertl and Marleau. "We just kind of rolled on after that. It is always nice to get a 2-0 lead like that when you are playing back-to-back."
The Oilers avoided being shut out at home for the fourth consecutive time when Nail Yakupov scored a second-period power-play goal, ending a 214:52 stretch without a goal at Rexall Place. But that was the only shot to beat Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock, who made 30 saves for his third win in as many starts.
"Every game, you hope for a shutout. Of course that would be awesome," Stalock said. "You look at why they haven't scored goals lately, but they have unbelievable skill up front with their forwards. They are going to be a scary team when they start scoring goals. My biggest thing is to get the win and to give the team a chance to get two points every night."
Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves for the Oilers, who've dropped five in a row, and at 4-15-2, have dropped into last place in the overall standings. Edmonton has won once in its first eight home games this season and dropped the past six at Rexall Place. They've been outscored 23-3 during that stretch.
"I'm so tired of coming in here after games and giving a reason why we lost," Oilers left wing Taylor Hall said. "You have to win. It doesn't matter how you win, if you're goalie stands on his head or you get lucky, you just have to win games.
"It's been tough to do that this year. We're all trying really hard, but we're not winning games. Something is not clicking for us, and we have to figure out what that is."
Pavelski opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 15:44 of the first period. He was left alone in front of a wide-open net after Oilers defenseman Andrew Ference inadvertently took out his own goaltender.
Hertl increased the Sharks' lead at 17:13, firing Thornton's centering feed past Dubnyk for his 12th of the season, tops among all rookies.
"Tommy has picked up right where Brent Burns left off," Thornton said. "He is very competitive and shoots the puck well. The line seems to be going well. It just seems to be rolling right now. I have a lot of confidence at the moment.
"We feel good. We weren't playing bad, even if we had a few extra-time losses. We've got points in nine of our last 10 games. We have a good team in here."
Dubnyk kept the Oilers in the game with 12 saves as the Sharks outshot Edmonton 14-6 in the first period.
Marleau made it 3-0 at 3:45 of the second period, firing a shot over Dubnyk's shoulder on a 2-on-1 rush with Jason Demers.
"I thought the game was three stages," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "I thought the first period we were hesitant, knowing what kind of team they are and knowing their record.
"I thought we were playing a little nervous, we were afraid to make a mistake. I thought that carried right through the first period. When you play hesitant, you're not closing early. We were a little bit late to everything, and we couldn't win a battle for the puck."
The Oilers missed two chances to get back in the game when Ryan Smyth couldn't tuck a wraparound into an open net and David Perron hit the post moments later. Yakupov finally got Edmonton on the board at 12:48 when he stepped into a bouncing puck and fired it through Stalock for a power-play goal.
"In the first period, we took three penalties and they scored two goals," Yakupov said. "We played better in the second and the third. Guys worked hard, we got some chances, but we still lost. It's pretty hard to come into this locker room and talk about another loss.
"It's always good when you score and you get points. But we only have four wins and we've played 21 games. I don't know what's going on. We're a little frustrated about it. We're trying to get the two points, but we can't."
The Oilers visit the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. The Sharks conclude their road trip against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

At first glance, it seems impossible that the fate of the world economy rests in Mario Monti's hands. The Prime Minister of Italy has the aura of a gentlemanly grandfather the polite demeanor, the soft voice, the smiling eyes not the tough taskmaster Italy so desperately needs to escape its dangerous and protracted debt crisis. Monti, 68, speaks in the long, precise, jargon-laden sentences of an academic economist, which he was only four months ago. He does not employ the emotional flourishes or rousing rhetoric of a typical politician. He seems like the sort who'd get chewed up by...

The Trent (and other UFO) Photos [REDUX]
We've always thought that the 1950 Trent/McMinnville photos were fakes, based upon the amount of time that the "flying saucer" stayed in view – long enough for farmer Trent to snap two pictures, without the UFO traversing much distance between shots. (Trent must have had a fast shutter or fast shutter-finger.)
However, the comparison of a 1954 photo (above) from Rouen, France with one of the Trent photos, France in UFOs 1968 magazine gives us pause.
There is also this photo from a man in Germany that duplicates the Trent "saucer:
While many (most?) flying saucer/UFO photos are fakes, some are not.
UFO researchers might seek out those similar UFO photos that are not connected by locale or time for information that integrates with other UFO accounts to see if there are elements that might provide clues leading to a clarification of the UFO mystery.
Certain photos, such as the Heflin polaroids, the Trindade set, and others which are unique in constructive value can be dismissed. But photos that seem to be free of fakery, including even (yes) some Adamski-like "saucers" should be scrutinized by qualified photography and CGI professionals.
The problem with previous photo analyses is that most have been looked at by photography tyros or amateurs and, thus, are virtually worthless.
But a new crop of savvy photogs and CGI mavens, tackling new and older photographs and videos, could bring serious enlightenment to the UFO riddle (perhaps).
An article in PIC magazine, June 1954, "I proved flying saucers are real" about U.S. Marine Ralph Mayher's movie film (taken July 29th, 1952) of a moving light (saucer?) seemed authentic to this writer at the time, and still resonates as authentic today.
An analysis, by a credible, professional researcher, would go far to validate that film and others.
The lack of such analyses – we're dismissing Bruce Maccabee's woefully inadequate and biased analyses – has caused media, science, and academia to place UFOs and their photographic evidence in the collective fringe basket.
But the UFO camp could and should provide its own real experts to look at past and present images of UFOs (flying saucers), instead of letting a handful of pretend-experts make the call.
We'll be following up on this matter, upcoming…..

Woman Passes Love Note To Teen Via Burrito
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. That expression means that cooking will win a man's affection. It doesn't mean slip love notes into his food. Especially if he is a teen you're accused of sexually assaulting. Amy Blose, a married mother of two, allegedly asked a classmate of the boy to bring him his favorite breakfast burrito she had purchased from Sonic. Inside the morning meal was a note that read, "Hey babe, I love you forever." The boy informed his parents of the note who immediately then contacted the police. Blose had been ordered not to have any contact with the boy or anyone younger than 18. She is accused of engaging in sexual acts multiple times with the minor and sending him explicit photos of herself. Corny notes in a breakfast burrito from his favorite chain restaurant. Embarrassing him at school in front of friends. No wonder the kid turned her in, it was probably like having another mother.

Filter Effect
Show MoreLess
Now Viewing:
Product Highlights
Size: 37mm
A general-purpose contrast filter for black and white photography, the 37mm Yellow MRC 022M Filter from B+W helps to increase contrast when working outdoors by suppressing blue and other cool tones. The medium yellow of the color results in a darkening of blues and greens, while lightening yellows, reds, and other warm tones, in order to produce a more naturally appearing outdoor scene. This results in increased cloud definition and reduced atmospheric haze for improved clarity.
This filter features a Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC), which helps to lessen surface reflections and ghosting for maintained contrast, and the coating also resists scratching, dirt, and water for physical protection. Schott glass is also used to maintain imaging integrity and optical clarity, and it features an F-Pro brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Microstructure of porous solids: Sea ice
Sea ice is a complex maze of water ice, brine, and air bubbles that acts as a permeable barrier between the polar oceans and the boundary layer atmosphere, mediating the exchange of heat, fluids, and gases and in doing so playing an important role in global climate. Current understanding of the morphology and variability of brine networks in sea ice is inadequate, both for the most accurate interpretation of sea ice data and for use in regional and larger scale climate models. Using micro X-ray computed tomography and applied mathematics, we are working on new ways to describe the morphology and variability of brine networks in first-year Arctic sea ice. The overall goal of the work is to improve our ability to determine the transport of heat, gases, chemical species, and salts through and within sea ice, and specifically to shed light on the brine drainage and desalination processes.
This work is funded by the National Science Foundation through the Arctic Natural Sciences Program.

Composer Lei Liang has never forgotten the soldiers' eyes, the blood on the street, his anguished friends.
"My school was not far from Tiananmen Square," he said. "And I was there (protesting) every day for almost two months, my classmates and myself. It was a life-changing experience. I feel like everything I do today is motivated by that experience, by those two months."
As it turned out, after literally wrestling with soldiers who were trying to enter the square, Liang had gone home the evening of June 3, 1989, exhausted, only a few hours before the shooting started in one of the pivotal events in modern Chinese history. To keep him from going back, his parents locked him in his room. But he returned in the morning and saw the residue of the violence.
"I saw the blood, the bullets, smoke everywhere …" recalled Liang, who was 16 at the time.
"When something you so passionately believed in is taken away overnight by violence, you start to think about what is the thing that guns cannot take away?"
Liang realized that one inviolate thing was his thoughts, and the way he extends his thoughts into the world — his music.
"Your way of thinking, your fantasies, your culture, your imagination, the things in your mind — those things cannot be taken away by violence," Liang said. "So the best way to defeat violence is to cultivate that world, is to make that world so independent, so free, that it has the power to counter (violence). And that's how I started on my path."
That path soon took him from Beijing to Austin to Boston, and in 2007, to La Jolla, where Liang teaches composition in the University of California San Diego's music department. A new compilation CD of his music on New World Records, "Milou," was released last week, and his ever-growing stature as a composer is reflected by the dozens of ensembles that have performed his work, from the New York Philharmonic to the Shanghai Quartet.
"I've been greatly enriched by the UCSD environment," said Liang. "I've felt like this is a place where I'm developing a lot and able to maintain my independence."
Independence continues to be one of Liang's core concerns, reflected in his extraordinary (or as The Washington Post put it, "far, far out of the ordinary") music that in its inventiveness and originality confounds categorization.
"It's true; I'm not a poster child for anything, for any type of music," Liang said. "I love to learn from different things, so I have a lot of admiration for all kinds of music, all different kinds of orientations." But Liang said his "motto" has been to say no to overt, readily identifiable influences in his music.
His music is most often located in the context of other contemporary Chinese composers (including Chen Yi, Bright Sheng and Tan Dun), but his music doesn't sound Chinese. And it doesn't necessarily sound Western either.
"I don't even see myself only as an experimental composer, or a new music composer," he said. "I'm just writing music. Because all these labels are kind of badges of laziness, at least for me."
Playing with sounds
Liang, whose parents were musicologists, started piano lessons when he was 4; by the time he was 6, he was already composing, in part as a way to avoid practicing.
"My parents knew I was very bored by practicing," he said. "But if I was making sound, it was OK. So I started making up pieces that sounded like the pieces I was supposed to practice. I didn't know I was composing. It was like a playground where I could play with sounds."
At one of his recitals, his pieces (which are still played in China) caught the attention of Rose Garrott, an American teaching English in Beijing. With her help, and assistance of family members already in the U.S. (greatuncle and greataunt David and Lillian Wong), Liang left China in 1990 to finish high school in Austin, Texas (where Garrott was doing graduate work).
"The first thing I did as soon as I left China and arrived in America was go to the library (at the University of Texas Austin)," Liang said. "I wanted to check as much as I could about what was not taught by the government. There's the mainland China version of its history; I wanted to find out what the Taiwanese had to say, what the Tibetans had to say. And then I realized there was a lot more they didn't teach me."
As his education progressed, first at the New England Conservatory of Music and then at Harvard, he continued to explore the library, studying Chinese music, art, literature and philosophy, even hand-copying certain manuscripts.
"You can be born Chinese, but it doesn't mean real membership in that cultural community," he said. "I was born in a cultural and spiritual 'ground zero' (during the Cultural Revolution) after the worst political, social and cultural self-destruction in China's long history. I grew up uprooted; I want to be re-rooted."
At the same time, he distinguished himself as a composition student, examining, incorporating, and then often rejecting every new — and some old — musical trend and technique until he found his own voice.
"I was very inspired by a lot of new music I was hearing, but for me, something I still find very attractive is human warmth," he said. "And I don't encounter that very often in new music. I identify with (16th-century composer) Monteverdi's idea about music: It's the full expression of human passions."
But it may be passion in its most subtle, refined form. In Kyoto, Japan, where he and his wife (Japanese harpsichordist Takae Ohnishi) occasionally visit, there's a shop where all the items are made of bamboo, each crafted with uncommon care and attention.
"I'm holding this little cup made of bamboo, and it's moving in my fingers a little bit because its so fragile," he said. "And I can just really feel the person who made this. I'm almost holding their hand. It's that kind of quality that I'm most vulnerable to."
Listen carefully, and you can feel Liang in his music.
"I'm looking for music that seems to unfold memories in time, in the shadows, sort of like the moss on the ground of the temples in Kyoto," he said. "That is the art of time. For me that is very, very important — to feel the thickness of time, to feel history is alive, it's breathing underneath."
Liang continues to study Chinese, and especially Mongolian, music, and write pieces that reflect those interests. But given his history, it's inevitable that he also continues to write music that addresses what he saw and felt in China, where his parents continue to live and he occasionally visits.
"I'm still driven by that because I think it is even more pertinent today in China," he said. "We might be a much richer country, but culturally and spiritually, where is our richness and our freedom? And that doesn't always come with material wealth; it is harder to acquire.
"I think it's very urgent for us to look at that. Basically, that's what I'm doing."Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Styx and REO Speedwagon were in concert here last night. My partner and I went and had a really great time. I had actually seen REO several years back when they were here with BTO and Cheap Trick. Kevin Cronin has short gray hair these days, but the voice is doing just fine.
Styx actually opened the show and I believe they did a better job of the two acts. Even though Dennis DeYoung is no longer with the group, his replacement was not bad at all. Tommy Shaw was amazing and looks almost
I had my 6 month office visit with my cardiologist today. The news was generally pretty good aside from my bad cholesterol remaining too high. He said the bad cholesterol level should be below 70 and mine is still above 100. So, I got a new medication - to go with the other 5 I take everyday - Zetia. I'm taking Lipitor and I am going to move from morning to night because he said it will work better. I could see a 15 point drop from that alone. And adding the Zetia should take another 15 points off.
