Over 50 umpires attend ITA umpire workshop
On Sunday 23rd February the Irish Taekwon-Do Association hosted a free umpire workshop for all members aged 14 & older. The workshop was run in conjunction with the national team training camp which was taking place over the weekend in the Marino Institute of Education. Master Pat Barry, VII Degree, ITA Umpire Chairperson delivered the course which covered all aspects of the ITF tournament rules & protocols including the patterns competition scoring system, centre refereeing and corner judging, the role of the jury president as well as use of the electronic scoring system for sparring.
The course also included the role of the ring assistants, including equipment checks as well as information on the ITA tournament scheduling system. The course was well attended with over 50 students from colour belt up to 7th Dan Master level from all parts of the country in attendance. This included many beginners to umpiring as well as experienced national & international referees. It was a great advantage to run the workshop alongside the National team camp, as it allowed for some top level patterns & sparring competition, giving the new umpires a very realistic experience.
The workshop was very practical, with most of the time spent on the mats, looking at real-life sparring & patterns matches. Master Barry and the experienced umpires were able to offer examples from their own experience of competition & umpiring which was very helpful to the less experienced umpires in attendance. This course was well-timed with a large international contingent expected for the upcoming Dublin Open, the ITA was ensuring our umpires are fully updated & trained to allow for an excellent tournament in April. Another umpire course will be run in the near-future in another region of the country and all members are encouraged to attend.

A drive-by shooting in a New Orleans neighborhood that has struggled with crime since being ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 left a man and an 18-year-old woman dead and five others wounded, three of them children, police said.
A woman and two children, aged 2 and 4, were in critical condition and a 13-year-old girl and a 37-year-old woman were in stable condition after the shooting in the Lower 9th Ward, Officer Frank Robertson, a police spokesman, said in a news release.
He said all were in front of a house when a dark car occupied by men drove up, opened fire and sped off. The slain man appeared to be in his late 20s, Robertson said in an email.
The Lower Ninth, a predominantly black neighborhood less than 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the bustling tourist district of the French Quarter, was overwhelmed by Hurricane Katrina's floods in 2005.
In a separate, unrelated spate of violence, a 20-year-old man shot a friend Sunday morning inside a hotel room at the edge of the Quarter, then killed himself after a three-hour standoff with police, authorities said.
The shootings were the latest in a city dependent on tourists. In June, two men exchanged gunfire on Bourbon Street, killing one person and wounding nine others.
The hotel shootings happened in a 17th-floor room at The Westin on Canal Street, where four friends from the Lafayette area were staying together for the weekend, Robertson said.
Three of them came in from partying, waking the fourth about 5 a.m. The man returned to sleep only to be awakened by the plea, "Put the gun down." The 20-year-old, looking "dazed and confused under the influence of some unknown substance," was pointing a gun at their 24-year-old friend, Robertson said.
The older man kept asking his friend to put the gun down, Robertson said, but about 6:30 a.m., the 20-year-old man shot him in the chest. The other two ran for help, hearing a second shot as they fled.
When hotel staff let police into the room, the 20-year-old pointed a gun at them, Robertson said. The officers backed out and called a SWAT team.
After about three hours of negotiations, the 20-year-old man apparently shot himself and the SWAT team stormed in. He was pronounced dead about 9:55 a.m.
Rescue workers rushed the 24-year-old to a hospital where he was in stable condition Sunday evening.
Police have not identified the men. Lafayette is about 125 miles (201 kilometers) west of New Orleans.

Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns confirmed that funding in a supplemental appropriations bill passed by Congress will be used for enrolling more farmers in the Conservation Security Program and increasing payments under certain existing CSP contracts.
The fact that Harkin, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, felt he needed to announce Johanns pledge speaks volumes about the problems the program Harkin included in the 2002 farm bill has encountered in recent years.
Although Harkin envisioned a national program when he devised the CSP, USDA decided to launch it as a pilot program confined to selected watersheds. Since then, the House Republican leadership transferred some CSP funding to other agricultural programs.
"The Conservation Security Program pays proactive farmers and ranchers for good conservation, and it is important that the USDA continues to enroll new producers and fully honors its commitments to those who are already enrolled in CSP," said Harkin.
"Farmers like CSP, they grasp it and they see the vision of it. Yet previous spending bills shortchanged the program and prevented it from reaching its full potential," he said. "This new funding helps restore confidence in CSP by continuing to enroll new producers and fulfilling all existing obligations under these contracts.
"I thank Secretary Johanns for his willingness to increase investments in conservation and work to get this enrollment accomplished."
Harkin led efforts to include funding in the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act to pay for all existing CSP contracts.
The latter includes contract modifications and the funds necessary to carry out an enrollment for the previously announced watersheds eligible in 2007. "Until this bill was passed, providing some $115 million in added funding, money was not available for the 2007 enrollment announced last fall before the new fiscal year began," he noted.
Harkin's problems with the Conservation Security Program have not been confined to USDA. The House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, Energy and Rural Development recently voted to delay the awarding of future CSP contracts until 2012.
Although the language in the Conservation Title of the 2007 farm bill is subject to review by the full committee, Harkin criticized the subcommittee for delaying future signups and transferring more than $1 billion in CSP funding to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
The House Agriculture Committee is scheduled to complete work on its version of the 2007 farm bill after Congress' July 4 recess. Harkin has said he expects the Senate Agriculture Committee to begin formally drafting its farm bill in July.

Bolen's one-man show titled CERN, features conceptual photography that is driven by unique processes of exposing film, processes which point toward challenging questions about the veracity of art. The Geneva photos aren't exactly your standard images of a bucolic European countryside,[…..]

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire should expand its Medicaid program under the Obama administration's health overhaul law because it's the right thing to do for the state's economy, finances and families, Gov. Maggie Hassan told lawmakers Thursday.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire should expand its Medicaid program under the Obama administration's health overhaul law because it's the right thing to do for the state's economy, finances and families, Gov. Maggie Hassan told lawmakers Thursday.
New Hampshire's current program covers low-income children, pregnant women, parents with children, elders and people with disabilities. The state is deciding whether to expand eligibility to include anyone under age 65 who earns up to 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which is about $15,000 for a single adult, and while it could refuse or postpone a decision, there are benefits for states that choose to expand Medicaid now: The U.S. government will pick up the entire cost in the first three years and 90 percent over the long haul.
"As both Democratic and Republican governors around the nation have said, it's a good deal, one that will, among other things, allow us to save money in existing state programs, while increasing state revenues," Hassan said in her budget address to lawmakers.
Hassan, who plans to appoint a commission to advise her on implementing the expansion, noted that the federal government historically has fulfilled its commitments to the Medicaid program. But Republican lawmakers who oppose the expansion point to special education and other areas where promised federal funding has fallen far short. They argue that expanding Medicaid is unaffordable, unnecessary and amounts to an effort by the federal government to hijack state finances.
"For anybody to think with trillion-dollar deficits stretching as far as the eye can see that Medicaid federal funding is a certainty over 10 years, I've got a bridge I'll sell them," said Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro. "We best keep our eyes open and make very sure that we dot the i's and cross the t's before we say yes to Medicaid expansion."
A report commissioned by the state health department estimates that expanding Medicaid would boost enrollment by about 58,000 people by 2020, and together with the federal law's other provisions, would reduce the number of uninsured residents from roughly 170,000 to 71,000. The report estimates that expansion could cost the state $85 million during that time period, but the state would get $2.5 billion in federal funding.
Proponents of expanding Medicaid note that those who currently lack insurance frequently end up in the emergency room in crisis with conditions that could have been prevented or cured had they received routine care in a doctor's office. According to the New Hampshire Hospital Association, hospitals have seen a 40 percent increase in the amount of uncompensated care they provide since 2008.
"Uncompensated care at our hospitals' emergency rooms increase costs for everyone," Hassan said. "By moving forward with Medicaid expansion, we can reduce that uncompensated care and save the average New Hampshire household an estimated $145 per year."
Ten of the state's largest hospitals sued the state last year in part over the elimination of payments they used to receive from the state to offset what they spend on uninsured patients. Hassan's budget would make more funding available for uncompensated care payments to those hospitals — about $50 million in fiscal year 2014 and $60 million 2015.
Under the expansion, Medicaid would cover both substance abuse treatment and mental health treatment, which Hassan called both smart and right. Aside from the Medicaid expansion, her budget also includes about $28 million in increased spending aimed at what Hassan called one of the state's most pressing public health challenges: restoring the state's mental health system.
The state is nearly half way into a 10-year mental health plan that includes goals ranging from expanding inpatient psychiatric care in hospitals to increasing the number of group home beds to support people in their communities. But those who provide mental health services say the state not only has failed to make progress but has in some cases gone backward. Dozens of people wait for days at a time for inpatient care in emergency rooms, and some leave without care at all, putting themselves and others at risk, Hassan said.
"That's not the kind of state we are," said Hassan, who is proposing a new designated receiving facility to take the pressure off local emergency rooms, adding new acute psychiatric residential treatment beds.
Saying the focus should be on treating people in their communities, Hassan called for adding 75 new community residence beds, housing and support services for 100 additional people and 10 new community treatment teams to help adults and children in crisis.
"While this won't solve all of the challenges facing our mental health system, it is beyond time that we make real and meaningful investments in helping those in desperate need of care," she said.

ghost stories by the time i was fif teen years old indeed in some families the staple of conversation on long winter nights was about ghosts and witches aud warlicks and hobgoblins and long nebed things the negroes indulged in these things as much if not more than the white people when i was a boy their stories were always more frightful than those of the white people they were told in the dim light of the fires in their cabins at night the large white of a negroe's eye behind such a black ground iu a dim light adds much to the effectiveness of a ghost story i have shivered from head to foot as these stories have been told with an air of the most awful truthfulness and with a rigid exactness of detail my hair would stand on end or at least feel like it did ami the cold chills would chase one another up and down my back for hours at a time when i started home from the negro cabins i would run every jump of the way and get into bed and cover up my head until i was almost smothered i almost hated the negroes for telling me such awful stories and yet i could not rest till i got into their cabins aud pro voked them to the recital to this good day i have not been able to understand why i loved to hear a class of stories that gave me so much trouble as ghost stories did when i was a boy i notice that children now are just as fond of these stories as i was and that they are affect ed by them in the same way i have no ticed also that many old people arc simi larly affected by millennial theories and all that partakes of the mysterious and wonderful in preaching any thing that is shrouded in mystery or that is to trans pire tit some future time has a wonderful fascination for them this is the class to which clairvoyants spirit-rappers and for tune-tellers appeal it is a large class and the more ignorant they are the more ready they are to swallow down as jos pel truth that which an angel from hea ven eould not understand my mother did all she could to unsettle my faith in ghosts and all ghost stories it was sim ply wonderful how the best planned sto ries would wither away at her touch i felt like a fool that i did not see the weak point in them before mother got hold of a story that was hitched together like linked sweetness long drawn out i would detail it to mother with the air of triumph that characterizes a profound logician only to see it melt like snow be fore her breath 1 never saw but one ghost in my life though i hunted for them often it was in a graveyard about twelve o'clock on a calm clear moonlight night i was then about fifteen years old 1 saw it plainly it had a body as white as snow and was ten feet high 1 saw its head eyes arms legs and feet with most harrowing dis tinctness i was cold all over and my heart was up iu my throat and choked me there was a%uwfnl and most un earthly groaning in the graveyard if i had run away as most people do at such times i would have been qualified to the facts as detailed but they were only fan cies as you will see my mother had often promised to give me fifty dollars for a ghost if i would catch one and bring it home this was my first chance to make the money so after silent prayer to god for help and protection i ventured up to my ghost step by step but very slowly it grew bigger and more ghostlike the nearer 1 got to it it was one of the greatest ef forts of my life to approach that awful looking object when i was about ten feet from it the ghost vanished and there stood before me the white palings around my father's grave my imagination had conjured up the balance the groaning proceeded from a lot of hogs that had made a bed in the graveyard this was the first last and only ghost i ever saw iu my life after that i had no faith iu ghosts nor iu ghost stories xow boys when you see anything you do not understand go to it and find out what it is ami generally you will find it as harmless as the ghost i saw so distinct ly — gilder og in macon advocate it is a real wonder that ijilderoy after all his good training never saw more than one ghost i had a very similar training but was more successful than lie having seen one ghost i never could account for and several others which evaded me on approaching them by turning themselves into blazes on trees white po-.ts or anishing away entire ly i will relate one little scare : it was the day before easter i was in the loft of a large oln barn searching every cor ner where the hay and fodder were stowed away for hen nests i had gone in with eager expectation of finding eggs for the holiday and was as busy as a boy could be whose happiness depended on the venture true it was broad day light but the barn was large and gloomy : and i was alone i had just comp'eted the search of the darkest corner in the loft and had risen from hands and knees with my face to the walls it i had crawled off as i went with eyes peering into holes in the hay { should have no story to tell ; but i did not just ns i rose to my feet

somewhat rare but very attractive when it can be had there are few ways of passing a winter evening more delightful than in listening to choice extracts from ftie best writers read by one who appreciates the sentiment of the author but is also able to render it im pressively there are some poems which cannot be appreciated without the aid of the living voice the nun-ic of the rhythm does not reach the soul through the eye a composition which is comparatively commonplace may be wonderfully trans formed by the human voice daniel web ster once came home from church after hearing the late dr h preach who had such a musical instrument in his throat that he was able to charm everybody by his exquisite tone and accent and remark 1 ed to a friend that lie had just heard the greatest sermon to which he had ever lis ened in his life his friend borrowed the manuscript from the author and asked permission to read the discourse in his own plain way to mr webster and when he had finished the great american ora tor said that could not be the same sermon he had heard with the absence of the speakers tone all the charm had vanished if good reading is a great luxury bad reading is a great abomination some very ordinary readers are particularly fond of reading to their families and friends when the tit seizes them there is no escape and hour after hour they hob ble along like a creaking cart drawn by a spavined horse over a rough pavement stumbling at all the hard words aud nev er getting on at a decent pace even when the ways are smoothest it is very dreary to be obliged to sit still and listen respect fully while the respected head of the household mumbles on mixing up the consonants and mistaking the emphasis and inverting the accents and it is not much better when the more ambitious paterfamilias strikes off in a lofty key and moves on with slow and pompous tread rolling the it's thundering out all the big words and overwhelming you with the dull monotony of vociferatiou there is also a sing-song style of reading not so offensive but it is as lulling as the racks of a cradle and works like an ano dyne then there are others who have no striking defects and yet they arc unat tractive they read mechanically with out much light and shade or any special feeling or variety offline and accent and you are always glad when they are through the best hand-organ wearies one after a while there are many public men whose busi ness it is to use their voice who are very poor readers this may be owing to some natural defect of which they are not con scious ami which at any rate they have never taken the pains to correct their breathing apparatus is in poor order or badly treated the mechanism of the throat does not work freely ; the jaws and tongue and lips do not move flexibly : the pitch of the voice is unnatural or the volume is defective or the tone is artifical ; and it may 1m that none of the organs of speech seem to have fair play others who have no special natural de fects are poor readers from simple indif ference they never try to read well and care very little whether their tones accord with the sentiment or not they are superior to such trifling considera tions and will tell you that if they can manage to make themselves intelligible they are content to let the grocer of elo tion go when for the want of some of these graces they do not make the xeum of the sentence intelligible they look down upon the art of reading with con tempt and will leave all that sort of thing to the stage-players there are multitudes of men iu the min

I had to write a personal statement for college application. I've no idea how or what a personal statement should be, but after a Google investigation I came up with this much. Is this appropriate, and even more so, is this good?
When I was seven, my mother died from a blood clot. Losing her was perhaps the most difficult moment of my life. Also, it was the biggest turning point. She died of a blood clot that passed to her lungs. I did not find out until my grandmother thought it was fit to tell me, but the day before her death, she had been to the emergency room. A doctor examined her, decided she was constipated, and sent her home to rest. Had the doctor properly examined her,it is easy to assume she might be here today.
I could have spent my time dealing with the "what if?'s". Instead, I determined that I would do something. That, is why I made the decision to pursue a career in medicine. I want to change people's lives, for the better. Everyone has to start somewhere though; in my situation, that somewhere was studying in school and making preparations for my future. My next step now is to gain an undergraduate degree. I hope and anticipate to do that at your institution.

Are there any broken bone specialists that could offer help,suggestions,treatment options, and/or experiances? We have a 5 month old pea baby who somehow pulled the two lower arm bones away from the socket at the wrist...not any broken bones that we can see, just disconnected from the joint and protruding from the wing skin.
Cindy&daylon Thank you VERY much
I would suggest an avain specialist in your area. Vets- and especially "specialists"- are
not a cheap way to go but you can google
"avian vets" in NC and come up with some vets in your area.
NC State has a great vet school and may could help.
In the meantime, I would try and see HOW AND WHY your bird could have done this?
Anything in the coop she could've got her legs caught in/on?
If she's free ranging, it's anyone's guess as to how it happened.
Please know vitamin B " COMPLEX" may could help here, if the bones are not indeed broken and IF the problem is caught early enough.
thanks for your advice.

Süddeutsche Zeitung 11.08.2008
Fritz Göttler watched Michel Houellebecq's directorial debut of "The Possibility of an Island" at the film festival in Locarno and was rather taken by it. "Benoit Magimel plays a young man who's time as an assistant to the teacher of a UFO sect allows him to profit from the techniques of eternal life. Women become unnecessary, and you don't even need a mother. Human beings clone themselves from generation to generation, becoming more doughy and formless over time, and every now and then Magimel morphs into his creator Houellebecq. After the great catastrophe the world becomes just as contourless as the protagonists who people it. This film packs no scandal, gone is Houellebecq's familiar we-are-all-assholes attitude. It's been watered down â the familiar lament when books are filmed. But Houellebecq has never hidden the fact that he's writing in the world of technical reproduction, that he loves surfaces and that superficiality for him is no dirty word."
Die Tageszeitung 12.08.2008
Maxi Obexer reports on the uproar which followed the opening of the new Museum for Contemporary Art in the South Tirolean city of Bozen, where Martin Kippenberger's bright green frog on a crucifix is on show. Of course it offends religious sensibilities. "Any one who thought that the collection of religious maniacs in their penitential robes, who have gathered in front of the Museion every day since the opening, would eventually calm down, are mistaken. They might represent a minority, but it is in the nature of the religiously insulted to strike out powerfully in the name of the larger majority. And the schützenverein members (highly traditional shooting association) have taken to protest marching in their lederhosen, demanding that the frog be removed."
Süddeutsche Zeitung 12.08.2008
The mix of soundbites available on the internet is fatal for classical music, writes music critic Wolfgang Schreiber, because it so often destroys what Walter Benjamin would call the "aura". But Schreiber's journey through YouTube left him breathless, just the same. Glenn Gould for example: "In an early bit of rehearsal footage he is playing the Prelude from Bach's Partita in D minor in a private house, when suddenly the teenage pianist leaps up from the grand piano, paces nervously to the window before continuing where he left off at the keys. Then the camera cuts to his only listener who is sitting on the carpet: Gould's faithful collie. Half of the 20th century's history-making recitals are availalble to the YouTube user in tiny snippets, which he can assemble at whim. The inward-looking Prussian Wilhelm Kempff sings Beethoven's Sonata op. 90, Emil Gilels, the Russian piano tornado braces himself against the Walstein sonata and Paganini variations, Svjatoslav Richter makes Chopin and Ravel explode. A young Martha Argerich in a red dress furiously punches out Chopin's preludes, and the youthful thunderer Kissin executes Listzt's horrendous La Campanella Etude. A young Benedetti Michelangeli, an ancient Horowitz, a dynamic Ivo Pogorelich â all play Scarlatti exquisitely, and only Cziffra lets the Liszt volcano explode. Then Daniel Barenboim attempts to teach the young Lang Lang how to play Beethoven's Appassionata on the piano: more line and chord, sound and spirit please! ... Further off the beaten path the intrepid clicker will stumble into ghostly hinterlands, through hot and cold showers of German musical history. Here is Furtwängler at the rehearsal of Schubert's Unfinished, then again at the finale of Beethoven's Ninth in 1942 where Goebbels shakes him warmly by the hand. You can also see the piece conducted by a lonely, uncommunicative Karajan, or an ecstatic Bernstein. The Führer himself makes a brief appearance in Bayreuth in 1937 with Winifred Wagner. Incredulous, you hasten on to the Donauwalzer, with the authentic nostalgia that only conductor Erich Kleiber can lend it, in the run-up to Second World War, in black and white."
Süddeutsche Zeitung 13.08.2008
The publication of a book by Patrick Buisson has left France in "erotic shock", as Cornelius Wüllenkemper reports. "1940-1945 â The Erotic Years" tells of the "France's fascination with German soldiers. The very concept of French manliness was to disappear in the flight from the German invaders. Europe's numerically strongest military power surrendered to the superior fighting prowess of the German troops within just a few weeks, as an estimated eight million French fled south in panic. Buisson claims that the Germans' military superiority left the French in an 'erotic shock': ''The northern body culture completely unhinged the French concept of morality. The Germans stripped to the waist to wash in village fountains or to clean their weapons. The bodies of the German soldiers utterly discombobulated France â these boys were groomed, tall and muscled.'"
The theatre intermission is under threat in Germany from people who argue that it does nothing but batter the fragile work of art with the profanities of food, drink and toilets. Martin Krumbolz is appalled and summons Roland Barthes' 'The Pleasure of the Text' to win over doubters: "'Is not the most erotic portion of the body where the garment gapes?' the author asks. And continues: 'It is the intermittence, as psychoanalysis has so rightly stated, which is erotic: the intermittence of skin flashing between two articles of clothing (trousers and sweater), between two edges (the open-necked shirt, the glove and the sleeve); it is the flash itself which seduces, or rather: the staging of an appearance-as-disappearance."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 15.08.2008
Syrian philosopher Sadik Jalal al-Azm declares a third way for Muslim belief, between radicalism and state Islam: "This is the commercial Islam of the middle classes. It is represented by a huge number of institutions, including the chambers of commerce and industry or the branches of the Islamic banking industry. And since this middle class represents the backbone of civil society in the various countries, this form of Islam could become the Islam of Muslim civil society as a whole. It is a moderate, conservative form of Islam, which doesn't interfere with the pace of business. It wants as little to do with leftist world improvers as it does with radical Islamic zealots."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 14.08.2008
French composer Olivier Messiaen would have turned 100 this year. Two of his most prominent students, Pierre Boulez and George Benjamin, this season's composer in residence at the Lucerne Festival, talk to Max Nyffeler about their great teacher.
Benjamin: "One topic to which he was forever returning was irreversible rhythm which reads identically backwards or forwards. This way of structuring time characterised his entire thinking. His music did not develop towards an ending as is the case in most Western music. He gave you the impression that time was rotating."
Boulez: "Infinite time as a segment of eternity was a fundamental concept of his music. He did not regard the necessary end of a piece as an end of reflection. He never talked about religion to me because he knew how sceptical I was about it. Once he did say to me, with a mixture of sadness and humour: 'The three most important things in my life are religion, organs and birds. But none of my students seem interested in them.'"
Berliner Zeitung 14.08.2008
Director and author Nino Haratichvili witnessed the war in Georgia. She describes what she saw and concludes: "The last days here were pure agony, a death struggle, and I hope we will all be able to reawaken from this struggle with our health in tact. But we will need help. We need clear words. The world has to say that the 21st century will not tolerate the use of this sort of brutal violence in a democracy, where people die, where an entire country is occupied by another. Bombs are falling across Georgia as we speak: on university buildings, on hospitals, on factories and bridges. While the whole of Tiflis is demonstrating, the Russian government is talking about 'aims achieved' about 'the end of Georgian aggression and the protection of its citizens.' There was no mention of Chechnya. Anyone who brought it up is now dead. We can no longer stay silent about Georgia."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung 14.08.2008
Georgian media studies expert Devi Dumbadze believes that Georgia has to free itself from its irrational nationalism if it is to successfully stand up to Russia. "This militant nationalism which is on the verge of losing all grip on reality may well have fed off the grievances about conflicts lost in South Ossetia and Abkhazia fifteen years ago. Georgia is trapped between being inferior to Russia (as the real enemy behind Abkhazia and Ossetia) its dependence on international aid (which won't be coming in military form from Nato) and its own desire to compensate for the painful loss of territorial unity."
Other papers 15.08.2008
What is at stake in Georgia is Europe, which must position itself clearly against Russia, write Andre Glucksmann and Bernard-Henri Levy in a joint article for the French newspaper Liberation. "The general staff in the Kremlin has never believed in the existence of a 'European Union'. It claims that lurking under all the wonderful speeches in Brussels are century-old rivalries and national identities which can be mercilessly manipulated to lay out all sides. Europe, which was built to stand against the Iron Curtain, which celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolutions is on the verge of a coma. 1945-2008."

Skip to comments.Dedication And Leadership: A Review (And a MUST READ for activism)
Posted on 05/25/2013 3:26:43 PM PDT by narses
On March 14, 1948, Douglas Hyde handed in his resignation as the news editor of the London Daily Worker and wrote "the end" to twenty years of his life as a member of the Communist Party. A week later, in a written statement, Hyde announced that he had renounced Communism and, with his wife and children, was joining the Catholic Church. The long pilgrimage from Communism to Christ carried Douglas Hyde from complete commitment to Marxism, to a questioning uneasiness about Soviet Russias glaring contradictions of ideology and action, to a final rejection of the Party.
In Dedication and Leadership, he advances the theory that although the goals and aims of Communism are antithetical to human dignity and the rights of the individual, there is much to be learned from communist methods, cadres and psychological motivation. Hyde describes the Communist mechanics of instilling dedication, the first prerequisite for leadership. Here is the complete rationale of party technique: how to stimulate the willingness to sacrifice; the advisibility of making big demands to insure a big response; the inspirational indoctrination; and the subtle conversion methods.
In this small book, so large with implications, Douglas Hyde comments on both Communist and Catholic potential and their lack of maximum effectiveness. He advocates positive Catholic action, not just a negative anti-Communism, and he points out that the guidelines are now down for a decisive choice between total Communism and a total Christianity.
Here is a realistic approach to an acute problem uncolored by emotional propaganda, and here is a realistic answer on how to inspire dedication for leadership
Spirituality in the Lord beat the empty pride of communism all hollow.
In the first three quarters of the twentieth century, communism moved from a minority political movement in a few European countries to become a major political force with over a third of the world's population under its sway and signficant intellectual influence even in the countries that remained most opposed to it. Douglas Hyde was one of those who diligently to further its influence. In 1948, he surprised his friends and enemies alike by resigning his position as editor of the London based communist paper the Daily Worker and converting to Roman Catholicism with his family.
This book grew out of a series of lectures he conducted that tried to explain the successes of Communism to a Christian audience and to answer the question "Is there anything in Communist methods that can be adapted to serve nobler causes?". The answer to that question is an emphatic yes. Hyde strips away the preconceptions of how Communists recruited and motivated party workers and how they developed them into leaders capable of developing other communist workers.
The main theme of the book is contained in the title. According to Hyde, dedication is a prerequisite for true leadership. The communists had a well defined purpose that every communist could understand and believe in: the hope of a Communist world. In pursuit of that goal, members were asked to make great sacrifices. Rather than driving people away, this demand draws out the idealistic element in them and inspires the sort of dedication needed.
Hyde develops this theme in a number of ways. He discusses how short term campaigns worked, how party education worked, how members were encouraged to excellence in other areas of their life in order to give the communist message credibility with non-Communists.
Looking at the state of communism today, one might question whether there is any value in this book after all. Indeed, Hyde faced the same question himself in the late 80s and refused a reprint of the book because he thought that communist commitment was no longer what was described in the book. In my opinion, the failure of communism was due to its successes proving its invalidity, not to the methods by which it had enjoyed those earlier successes. Militant Islam seems to be the ascendant ideology of our times, and to the limited degree that I am aware, it seems like the Islamists are employing similar techniques. If we are wise, we will choose to learn from them rather than dismissing them outright.
This is one of those rare books that demands the purchasing of multiple copies. You will want to keep one for yourself with all your underlinings and notes, and keep at least one to lend out. Any sort of organisation could benefit from the lessons to be learned here, but Hyde's message is chiefly to Christians. Any believer distressed about the weak impact his church is having should immediately read this book.
What If Christians Had the Dedication of Communists?, September 20, 2010
By Fr. Charles Erlandson (Tyler, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dedication And Leadership (Paperback)
"Dedication and Leadership" began as Douglas Hyde's attempt to answer the question: "Why are Communists so dedicated and successful as leaders whilst others so often are not?" As a former Communist editor who converted to Roman Catholicism, Hyde was well qualified to answer this question. His findings form an inspiring challenge to Christians to find the courage and dedication of the early Communists and use them in the service of something much better than Communism. He answers the question, "What can we learn from the Communist's attitudes, methods and techniques"?
His answers are revelatory. In the first place, Communism appealed to the idealism of youth: if you wanted to change the world in the first half of the twentieth century you turned to the Communists, not to the Christians. Second, if you make little demands then you get little response, but if you call for big sacrifices people will respond. Also, in a materialistic world, the dedicated mans stands out. One of Hyde's shrewdest observations is that most Communists don't become Communists because of the doctrine but because of the impact made upon them by some dedicated Communist. Communism showed a remarkable faith in people with their slogan "Every Communist a leader." Communists followed through with their call for sacrifice and leadership through preparation, training, and instruction. By sending its members out as soon as they joined, Communists forced their members to learn about their own inadequacy, which is the beginning of wisdom. As a result, the desire to learn came from within each Communist.
There is much more that Hyde has to say, but I'm sure you can see how powerful and useful this little book is. Essentially, it's a book of wisdom and one that I find myself returning to every few years when I start a new venture on behalf of the Kingdom of God.
Highly recommended for all - even young people!
Be a bit careful about "what can we learn from communists." These fallen systems ARE ripoffs of God's plan, but any insight thereby gained needs to be run through the screen of God's Word.
People have taken God for granted, instead of as the one Who truly does earn the name "Wonderful." It's as though you had a gold mine in your back yard and you only dug in it with a teaspoon.
Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
I concur, with a more literal rendering "harmless as doves."
Being wise as a serpent chiefly means knowing where the serpent wants to strike and how, and taking preventive action to avert needlessly exposing one's vulnerability. It doesn't mean setting up a Serpent World within the church....
" It doesnt mean setting up a Serpent World within the church...."
I am not suggesting that, I doubt that Douglas Hyde was or that Fr. Charles Erlandson was.
I doubt anyone intends it, but one could get spiritually maneuvered into it. And I am not singling out any denomination or earthly worship community; it would be a pan-Christian danger.
Also I think of Paul's admonition of becoming like everyone so that by any means he might save some (effectively sharing the gospel at their level). So "to save Communists, I became as a Communist" would make some sense. Just be careful....
he advances the theory that although the goals and aims of Communism are antithetical to human dignity and the rights of the individual
Of course they are. They have to be.
IIRC, Communism comes from "common" as in common good. Communism is collectivist - a person should do what's best for the common good - represented by the State - even if its not best for themselves.
You cannot champion the rights of the individual while telling them they must act in the interest of the whole, even if that act is against their best interest. That is antithetical..
This reminds me of David Horowitz who was raised as a red diaper-doper baby, completely immersed in Marxism and Soviet Communism.
He finally came out of the fog and now runs Front Page Mag.com
Horowitz's great book Radical Son traces his journey and awakening.
The Catholic Church he converted to was different than the Catholic Church of post Vatican II.

Editor's Note:
The feature story below on women's tennis senior captain Laura Peterzan, is part of a year-long commitment to highlight Harvard's captains and other intriguing student-athletes. For more question-and-answer features click here and enjoy the high-caliber student-athletes whom we have come to enjoy.
She finished her freshman year much like her senior year -- with an Ivy League title. Senior Laura Peterzan captained this year's team to its 18th Ancient Eight Championship in the program's 35th season. She finished this season with an overall record of 11-11 in singles and a record of 14-10 in doubles, including a streak of nine straight wins alongside Camille Jania.
The former Ivy League Rookie of the Year and current member of the second team All-Ivy League, shares with us some of her ideas on chocolates and her most memorable moment on the tennis court here at Harvard and what the teams trip to California for spring break entailed. She is a native of London, England and will graduate this June with a degree in Social Anthropology.
What is your area of concentration at
Social Anthropology.
How has it prepared for life when you graduate?
I've learnt to really value and appreciate difference and to never judge. I think that anthropology has also made me realise how our thinking and actions are often based on uninformed preconceptions. As such, I've learnt to identify these unfounded assumptions and challenge them. I think that this habit of not forming opinions on limited information and realising when information is biased or limited, will serve me well in the future.
How have your studies helped you athletically? How have athletics helped you academically?
I think that academics helped me athletically more when I was younger - I was more used to concentrating for long periods of time than my peers were and I was able to transfer that skill into being able to maintain focus on court longer than my peers could. As such, I could train for less hours than my peers, yet still improve as rapidly if not more so, because I would get more out of the practice time than I spent on-court.
My athletics have helped me academically in many ways, but I think perhaps the biggest way is in how it has trained me to respond to pressure. My time spent playing tennis competitively has definitely made me a person who rises to a challenge and performs in high-pressure/high-stress situations, even outside of athletics.
You've played tennis for a while now, how many different countries did you play when you lived in your native England?
I travelled quite a lot to represent Great Britain internationally so I have competed in 14 different foreign countries: France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, U.S., Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Australia.
There are some pretty good candies that are imported from England, name a couple of your favorites for the readers?
Cadbury's chocolate! For some reason Cadbury's sweets made in England taste so much better than the same products made in the USA. If I had to specify, I would choose Cadbury's Chocolate Fingers, Galaxy's Minstrels and Chocolate Smarties.
Tell us about the trip to California. Besides the four matches, what else did you and your teammates do with an entire week out west?
We held a clinic at a local club on our first day out there and on the other days we had either practice or matches. We were staying with host families - myself and a few others were lucky enough to get housed in an amazing beach house, so most of us spent what free time we had out on the beach, even if it was still a little on the cold side to be tanning. Evenings were mostly centred around a good dinner and then either relaxing with a book or watching movies.
What has been your favorite moment as a member of the tennis team here at Harvard?
Of all the memories there are, the first that springs to mind right now is from earlier this season when we beat Boston College, 4-3, in a really tight match - wWe were down 3-2 and then Camille Jania and Agnes Sibilski both came back to win their third sets... The energy and desire that everyone, either playing or cheering, showed was incredible. I think that that is a moment I will treasure for a long time - not so much because we pulled out the win, but more because of the electric atmosphere that brought everyone together.
Which schools do you consider to be your biggest rival?
Probably Princeton, Penn and Yale.
Who got you started in tennis?
My Mum.
Was there any tennis player that you used to or still look up to?
I've never really had any one idol.
Who is the most famous person you have ever met?
Pierce Brosnan.
What do usually do to get prepared for a tennis match? Any pre-match rituals?
After warming up I just try and switch off - I don't like to think about the match itself so I just relax and keep my mind clear so that I can focus right away when I get on-court.
Which subway system is better, London's Underground or the T?
Probably London, although it's still not great. London's underground is bigger, slightly more modern and faster, but there can still be a lot of delays.
How many states have you traveled to in the U.S.?
Twelve: Massachussetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, New York, DC, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, New Mexico, California and Hawaii.
Your father attended the Harvard Business School, was there any allure to Harvard because of that?
In all honesty, not really - we all saw him as more of a Cambridge University alum than an HBS alum. I'd never even considered Harvard until I was contacted by the coach.
Outside of racquet sports, if you and your teammates were all selected to play another sport at Harvard (i.e. field hockey, football), what sport would suit the team best?
Choose the better sandwich, tuna or peanut butter and jelly?
Peanut butter and jelly.
Coffee or tea?
Tea! (black, with milk but no sugar).
Chelsea or Manchester United?
I don't really follow football or support any team.
Rain or snow?
What is favorite Harvard athletic event to watch?
