Saliman's exhibition, In Urban Light, depicts the abstract possibilities of photographic references and the interesting atmospheric qualities resulting from the dramatic lighting found within vibrant cityscapes. Initially composing his images through the lens of a camera, Salminen uses photography as a starting point from which his paintings begin to take shape into compelling, realistic watercolors of city life. Each work represents a balance of his original vision found through the camera's viewfinder and his desire to listen to the painting as it develops and dictates its own trajectory. As a result, Salminen is able to capture richly complex universes — urban landscapes — that are highly atmospheric and reflective of the celebrated decorative elements in big cities across America and abroad.

Customizing your GUI desktop
Just a few tweaks can give your system that individual touch.
An individual boot screen, a tasteful login background, and an upbeat desktop theme can help you personalize your Linux system. But which controls will you need to tweak? This article describes some techniques for personalizing your desktop.
Before your get started with customizing, it is a good idea to think about the way the system starts. When you switch your computer on, the BIOS loads the bootloader, which then initializes the kernel. The kernel then hands over control to the init process, which launches the services. This process finally takes you to the login manager on most systems.

Despite the decline in their defense and constant quarterback controversy, the Jets actually made a backdoor push for the playoffs, holding a 6-7 record with three games to go. But they lost all three games after that, as the offense had become completely ineffective. They scored more than 19 points just once in their last nine games. And much of that had to do with the quarterback situation, as neither Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy, nor Tim Tebow were effective at QB. Fans pressured the team to start Tebow, but he only got eight pass attempts all year. Sanchez was plain bad with a 54% completion percentage, 13 touchdowns to 18 interceptions, and a locker room that still has little faith in him. Enter Geno Smith, who will make things exciting if given playing time. Scouts could not be more divided on Smith's NFL potential, so he's a must-watch for this year. He has his work cut out for him, though, as grinder Shonn Greene departed and key offensive linemen Matt Slauson and Brandon Moore are gone. Running backs Chris Ivory and Mike Goodson are going to get the carries, becoming the poorest of a poor man's running back duo. Smith will have to do some running himself. His options at wide receiver are very weak too. There's inconsistent Santonio Holmes, and then there's Jeremy Kerley and Stephen Hill. Jeff Cumberland and his whopping 29 career receptions will start at tight end after they lost Dustin Keller. The Jets were dead last in passing yards a year ago, so it can't get much worse. Smith will improve the offense, if given playing time.
Defensively, the Jets were still an elite unit against the pass last year thanks to a deadly combo of corners, Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. Revis was traded to Tampa Bay, however, so who will start opposite him? That would be first round pick Dee Milliner out of Alabama, who could be just as good as Revis eventually. The Jets also snagged highly regarded defensive end Sheldon Richardson to start opposite Muhammad Wilkerson, a unit that should create more pressure this year. They lost LaRon Landry at strong safety but replaced him with his brother Dawan Landry. Their weakness comes at linebacker, a key position to stopping the run. And the Jets didn't do much of that last season, ranking 26th in the NFL in rushing defense. But the D-line and secondary should be enough to keep this defense strong. While it may be a rough start, the Jets face just one 2012 playoff team in their last eight games, so a late hot streak could push them into the playoffs.

Exterior of the St. Regis in San Francisco shows two-story bank-owned penthouse that has reportedly sold for $28 million.
Updated 1:50 p.m. ET: Homeowners usually dread having foreclosures in their neighborhoods because it tends to put a drag on the value of surrounding properties, but they might not mind living next to 188 Minna St., in San Francisco.
Among the nearly 4 million homes owned by banks today, according to Barclays Capital, this one stands out. For one thing, there's the waterfall in the foyer. And the 2,500-square-foot master bedroom with a hallway just for closets. And the 22-foot glass walls that look out on San Francisco's Arts District. And the fact that this penthouse condo is the most expensive bank-owned residence in the country.
Foreclosure website RealtyTrac says the average foreclosed home sells for $182,489.
According to San Francisco real estate blog SocketSite.com, lender Bank of America, which picked up the deed to the 20,000-square-foot penthouse in lieu of foreclosure back in July, just sold the condo. Listed at $35 million, 188 Minna St. was purchased for an eye-popping $28 million, making it the most expensive residential sale in the city's history.
Still, the bank's asking price is half of what the original owner, developer Victor MacFarlane, was seeking for the unit back in 2008, although he did slash the price to $49 million the following year.
Perched atop the St. Regis luxury residential tower, this six-bedroom, seven-bath (plus four half-baths) palace is practically a private hotel: There's a full gym with a sauna and steam room, 13-seat movie theater, 2,900 square feet of terrace space and parking for six cars.
Here is an interior shot from the listing at Sotheby's International Realty:
(Click here for amazing photos of the unit.)
There are no details on the buyer yet, but here's one parting thought: If the real estate agents involved earned a standard 6 percent commission on this deal, they'll pocket $2.1 million.

Summary of The Chocolate Castle Clue Summary of The Chocolate Castle Clue Reviews for The Chocolate Castle Clue An Excerpt from The Chocolate Castle Clue
After Lee McKinney goes rummaging in a locked file cabinet, a forty-five-year-old cold case starts to heat up the town of Warner Pier.
When Lee discovers a dusty trophy hidden away inside TenHuis Chocolade, she is eager to share it with her aunt Nettie. The timing couldn't be better—Nettie is hosting a reunion for her old high school singing group, the Pier-O-Ettes.
Unfortunately, the trophy brings back terrible memories of the night of the group's trophy-winning performance at the Castle Ballroom. The ballroom's owner was found shot to death. The insurance company called it suicide; his wife insisted it must have been an accident; the town whispered, Murder. Now Lee has a mystery to solve.
Before she can take aim at the events of the past, someone turns up murdered in the here and now. Lee needs to keep her eye on the prize and hope the trophy will be the clue to finding the killer—before she ends up as a target herself….

Portland >Food & Dining > Pizzicato Gourmet Pizza
1708 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR | Directions 9720145.512170 -122.681974
Neighborhoods: Neighbors West - Northwest, Downtown
This Portland-based mini-chain serves up sophisticated slices. – In Short
Behind the street-side picture windows, the sleek decor of modern furniture and highly polished floors feels nothing like a typical pizza joint. In keeping with the visuals, the pies are upscale versions of their traditional cousins. Gourmet toppings like spicy shrimp and barbecued chicken are layered atop thin crusts brushed with olive oil and garlic. Rounding out the menu are fresh salads and paninis, complemented by local wines and microbrews.
Great Pizza – I'm a guy's guy type of guy that subsists on pizza....a friend turned me off of Pizza Oasis and ON to Pizzicato. I'm never going back. Pizzicato's pies are absolutely the best. And for all those people that complain the crust is soggy on take-out orders...READ THE BOX....it tells you to put the pie in the oven when you get home....then it tastes absolutely perfect!
Pizza for the Gourmet – I can't say enough about the thought that has gone into these pizzas. My roommate is a trained chef that used to work at Pizzicato. They care enough about ingredients that they pay extra to import high-tariff cheeses from France even though they know that only a handful of people will ever appreciate it.

Select up to three bra sizes to filter by.
Given the wide range of brands and styles that we carry at Journelle, chances are you'll wear at least a few different sizes - certainly across brands, but sometimes even in different styles from the same brand. We recommend that you select the size you have most recently worn plus two "sister sizes". For example, if you are a 32D, we recommend you look at bras in sizes 30E and 34C as well.
$109.00This slinky, smoothing, skinnying (that's a word we swear) slip is a cocktail dress's best friend. Strong, svelte, and always up for a good time, we say: Pass the champagne.
$125.00This curve-hugging vertigo-inducing plunge slip is so hot it smolders. Silky stretch side panels, lipstick palette, and classic corsetry are simply pin-up stunning.
$132.00Molded, padded, curve-hugging, convertible-to-a-strapless slip is as versatile a foundation piece as it is a holy-moly-jaw-droppingly-sexy piece. White hot, we say.
$634.00This Italian beauty would be equally at home on a Venetian balcony and under an UWS cocktail dress. Smooth shaping from the Adriatic to the Hudson? That's La Perla for you.

Configuring and Managing Mediawiki 1.4
The best way of organizing collaboration on the Web is with a Wiki. Mediawiki, the Wiki behind the famous Wikipedia project, sets the standard for web-based collaboration tools.
Wiki fans will be familiar with the scenario: you spot a typo on a website and drag the mouse around the screen vainly searching for the edit button. Until the inception of the Wiki principle, it was considered unthinkable for any visitor to be able to edit a Website. But now, projects like the free encyclopedia, Wikipedia [1], clearly demonstrate the viability of a collaborative effort involving thousands of volunteers. Many business and open source projects have put Wikis to effective use in areas such as software documentation, or simply as a means for organizing documents on an enterprise intranet. If you are interested in setting up your own Wiki, you are spoiled for choice. You'll find over 50 Wiki engines in a variety of programming languages. Mediawiki [2], the software that Wikipedia uses, is a Wiki tool that has proven its value for over two years in a permanent production situation. This trial by fire has allowed Mediawiki developers to quickly discover and remove vulnerabilities, making Mediawiki one of the most stable and well tested Wiki options.

All issues
Are there in history of the mankind happy countries or nations whose development and flourishing were not disturbed either by their neighbours' ambitions or inner errors? Small in number the Latvian nation whose language originates from Sanskrit and whose ancestors' coming to the Baltic shores is hidden in vague legends does not belong to them unfortunately. As any other socially meaningfull phenomenon the history of development of homeopathy in Latvia can't be understood without the common historical background. The excursion to the visible history probably is double desirable because during the last years of our growing contacts with our colleagues - homeopathic doctors abroad it appeared to be that nearly nobody of them knows such a country as Latvia and the place where it is.
By the moment when father of homeopathy Samuel Hahnemann was born in Germany the land on the Baltic sea shore where modern Latvia is located being geographically attractive and having good economical prospects passed into hands of different surrounding states several times.
In the 13th century the north of the Latvian land together with neighbouring Estonia was conquered by the Livonian Order (the organization of German knights-crusaders) and the new state of Livonia was founded. In 1558-1583 during the Livonian war this state collapsed and the rule of Poland was established. In 1600 the Polish-Swedish war broke out for ruling over these lands. It lasted 29 years and Sweden won the victory. Coming 90 years the northen part of Latvia and its capital Riga were ruled by Sweden. In 1700 the Russian tzar Peter the First announced the war to Sweden. This war which is known as the Northen war lasted 21 years and ended with Nishtadt treaty according to which the Northen part of Latvia was incorporated into Russia in 1721*. (*- It should be mentioned that the same year of 1721 the last trial against the witch took place on the territory of Latvia). The Southen part was within the body of Polish-Lithuanian state till 1795 and then joined the Russian Impire too.
Thus at the time when Hahnemann in Germany discovered the Law of similarity Latvia (under the name of Liffland province) was a part of the Russian Impire. Because of that we can consider their history as one whole at this stage. The difference was that there were more favorable terms for homeopathy spreading here from the point of view of the language. If Russian was a state language then German during coming more than 2 centuries was accepted as the second main regional language according two reasons. First, everything what came from Germany was of great respect in Russia because Russian tzars from mother's line had German origin. And second, it happened historically that the majority of wealthy people who lived in Liffland were of German birth. That time only the certain level of finances and property gave the right to be elected to Riga Town Hall. The local people 95% of whom were landless peasants, farm labourers and wage workers had to take the language of their authoritues into the concideration.
And the first homeopathic doctors who appeared in Riga in the beginning of the 19th century were of German origin. We know 5 names of homeopathic doctors who practiced here. They are Drs. Lezeviz, Deringer, Neimanis, Sheffer and Gase.
It was just their idea to open homeopathic pharmacy in Riga and they asked Riga Medical Board the permission to found it. The permission was given on the 25th of October 1833. And 11 days later Riga Chemical-Pharmaceutic Society (RCPhS) opened the first Riga homeopathic pharmacy. The official medical documents of the Russian Impire note that the pharmacy was founded by all Riga pharmacists. It belonged to RCPhS till 1848.
We can be proud that it was not only the first pharmacy on the Latvian land but on the territory of whole Russia. Only in 1857 the homeopathic pharmacies were opened in Petersburg and Moscow.
The second homeopathic pharmacy in Riga was opened in 1898, and in 1905 another one was opened in other Baltic town, Ruena. In one of brochures of 1914 there was a commercial of 3 homeopathic pharmacies in the centre of Riga which announced that homeopathic remedies could be also bought at the chemist's shop of town Ogre. In 1939 in Latvia there were 5 homeopathic pharmacies, 4 of them in Riga and 1 in the city of Liepaya. After the World War II 2 homeopathic pharmacies worked in Riga, but since 1947 - only one, the oldest.
As it appeared to be after nearly two centuries since the day of its foundation this the very first and eventually being the only Riga pharmacy was the axis round which homeopathic life in Latvia was turning and it did not let this life fall down.
The first manager of this pharmacy was pharmaceutist Linde, and from 1848 to 1888 it was run by German pharmaceutist Ferdinand Niderlaus (1814-1888).
Since 1888 the work of the pharmacy advanced when pharmaceutist Artur Junger (1851-1927) headed the pharmacy. He invested a great deal in the development of it and the popularization of homeopathy. Some time he rented the parmacy but in 1895 he bought it from RCPhS. The pharmacy was his and his descendents property till 1940.
In 1927 after Mr. A. Junger death some complications connecting with the managing of the pharmacy arose. For following 13 years 8 managers changed each other. On the 19th of February 1840 Mr. Egon Dilbek bought the pharmacy for 8 thousands lats from Junger's descendants.
Not to break the common chronology of the story for a moment we shall interrupt the history of the homeopathic pharmacy to observe the synchronous history of homeopathic bookprinting in Latvia.
Our contemporaries till 2000 supposed that any homeopathic literature in Latvian was not published. And one can imagine my surprise when I was presented the book «Homeopathic advisor» written in old Latvian with gothic letters and published in 1900 with the permission of the tsarist censorship. The book was found in a second-hand bookshop. It was a translation made by Mr.J.Berzinsh from the works of German homeopathic doctors of that time, namely Dr.Herring, Dr.Jahr, Dr.Luce and others.
This finding inspired for futher search in the archives. And the results have exceeded all expectations. It was found out that at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century 15 brochures and books on homeopathy in Latvian were published mainly for the population. Almost all of them were translated from German. The very first brochure was issued in 1872 and it was titled "Advises for rural people how to help in the right way themselves and their relatives being sick" with an explanation in brackets, "Putting the background of homeopathy according to laws of common sense". The next brochure is written by the Latvian author, Lapmezhs, as collected advices of many doctors how to treat oneself by homeopathic remedies.
Then there is a number of brochures and books translated into Latvian from German by one and the same man, Mr.M.Shimminsh, which were published with the financial support of Mr.A.Junger, the manager of Riga homeopathic pharmacy. The total number of books in Latvian issued by these two men from 1898 till 1923 was eight.
Mr.M.Shimminsh in his brochure "What the homeopathy is" refers to the information collected from different periodical foreign publications of that time about comparative efficiency of homeopathy towards to allopathic therapy, about opening homeopathic clinics in some European countries, such as Austria, Hungary, Spain and France. He gives remarkable references to the official sources, e.g. «The Journal of Ministry for Home Affairs of Russia» of 1830 and 1831 where particularly is pointed out that during the epidemic of cholera in some Russians provinces 63% of those treated allopathically died, but among those who were treated by homeopathic remedies only 11,5% died.
As it came out of the same books Mr.M.Shimminsh was the Chairman of the Society of Assistance to homeopathic treatment. He was not medical doctor but doctor's assistant. Nevertheless he knew homeopathy very well. It is witnessed with his answer in the written brochure «The answer of the people's crowd to Dr.P.Kalnin to his article «About homeopathy» in which the latter attacked the method.
Active dispute took place between other homeopathic and allopathic doctors too. Two preserved books of 1914 by Dr.P.Gauzens «Venereal diseases and their treatment with homeopathic remedies» and «The fight of luminaries of allopathy against homeopathy» are a noble answer to the critisism of his first book. Till nowadays his words, «It is difficult to escape old deep-rooted prejustices even in case if they speak about the wellbeing or life of their relatives» are true and acute.
Since 1914 there is a break in publications as World War I in the course of which the whole territory of Latvia was occupied by German troops. In 1917 the October Revolution took place in Russia which perverted the development of Russia for many decades alike syphilitic miasm. But a new period ensued for Latvia. On 9th November 1918 the revolution happened in Germany. Then the Germans including those who lived here since long ago started leaving the Latvian land. On18th November 1918 the National Council was held which proclaimed the foundation of the Latvian Republic. For the first time in its history Latvia became independent, and for the first time the Latvian language was accepted as a state language by law.
How did the political changes influence the development of homeopathy?
It seems that for a few years everything came back to the previous level. Pharmacies went on working. In 1923 Mr.Shimminsh translated the report by L.E.Brazol «Modern homeopathy» from Russian into Latvian. The report was delivered at the First All-Russian congress of homeopathy followers in October 1913. The report had comments titled "It is recommended all higher schools professors and senior lecturers, medical students, members of the Parliament (Saeim) and everyones who takes care of his health and his nation health. In 1937 Mr.?.Shimminsh has also translated from German "Homeopathic therapeutic catechism" by Dr.Dewey.
The names of homeopathic doctors who worked during that period should be restored. The one thing is certain that they had private practice as we could not find references concerning homeopathic clinics in the archives. But there is one man who left the bright trace in the history of the Latvian homeopathy as a doctor and exceptionally spiritual, whole-hearted personality. His name is Feliks Lukin (1875-1934).
Mr. F. Lukin graduated from the medical faculty of the University in Tartu (Estonian town) in 1899. Then he replenished his knowleage in Kenigsberg, Berlin and Vienna. Later he headed the mobile brigade on eye diseases treatment in Russian villages of Kaluga province, and since 1901 he worked as an oculist in Riga.
During World War I Lukin and his family left for Vitebsk (Belorussia) where he worked in 1916-1918. There he was taken ill with tuberculosis heavily and after his return home the whole 1919 he spent having treatment in Switzerland. Together with private practice he started curing TB-patients. In 1923 he founded Society for struggle against TB in Latvia and headed it. Soon he opened the first TB clinic in the outskirts of Riga. Being interested in TB curing he went to Danmark, to Copenhagen, where he got to know about TB treatment by medicine of manganese, beryllium and cadmium salts in small doses. Here he came in touch with homeopathy for the first time and further he was involved into investigations connected with it. He studied botany, practice of Oriental medicine, particularly Ayurvedic material, «electrohomeopathy» from Dr.Rosendorf in Tallinn (Estonia). Following Hahnemann's wish in §265 of "Organon of Medicine" he prepared herbal remedies and collected raw material for them himself. He worked preferably with low potencies remedies, but also worked out combinations of homeopathic remedies. Up to now Riga homeopathic pharmacy uses sets composed by Dr.F.Lukin. In his work he paid a great attention to the investigation of patients concsiousness and psyche considering organism as one unit. Good results and complete devotion to work gave him vast practice. He was especially close to poor people who were often treated by him free of charge.
Dr.F.Lukin was a real scientist in his approach to medicine. He checked up everything himself while making experiments. And it was not occasionally that he established contact with the Institute of Himalaian Investigations of Urusvaty in India** (Here keeping in mind the fact that the Latvian language is traced back to Sanskrit you can suppose that probably some esoterically meaningful circle connecting epoches has closed.) which was founded by the outstanding Russian philosopher, artist, botanist, archeologist, fighter for peace N.K.Rerich, some of whose ancestors were Latvians. In 1923 Dr.F.Lukin got acquanted with the secretary of N.K.Rerich. After carring on lively correspondence and personal meeting with N.K.Rerich in Paris in 1930 Dr.F.Lukin founded the Society of friends of Rerich in Latvia and was appointed its chairman. The versatile cooperation started. Repetedly the Urusvaty Institute sent herbs, roots, seeds of officinal plants to Riga which were collected by the Rerichs during the expeditions to the highlands of Tibet, Mongolia, India. Dr.F.Lukin carried out investigations, prepared remedies of them for his own practice and shared them with Riga homeopathic pharmacy.
The results of the scientific investigations of Dr.F.Lukin and his collection of 71 samples of prepared remedies were passed on to the Urusvaty Institute by his son, doctor Harald Lukin, after his father's death. During last weeks of his life the father handed down his son his curative methods and doctor's practice. In 1938 the book of Felix Lukin's friends, colleagues, son recollections about him "The light of heart" was issued in Riga.
Dr.Harald Lukin (1906-1991) completely continued his father's course practicing homeopathy, cooperating with the Latvian Rerich's Society and keeping close contacts with Rerich's family. He received herbs and roots of the Himalaian officinal plants from N.K.Rerich's son Svyatoslav regularly. Dr.H.Lukin used remedies in low and medium potencies (from 2X and higher) in his homeopathic practice. All the remedies he made himself like his father starting with picking up the raw material. He received the missing stuff from purveyors from different parts of world and after the 60s - from the whole territory of the USSR, and tropical ones - from India. He himself went to the mountains too, to Tibet, brought herbs which were missing in pharmacopoeia, provided Riga homeopathic pharmacy with them. He was a well-known connoisseur of Tibetian medicine as well as homeopath.
Dr.H.Lukin was extremly industrious. He took cases from early morning till late night up to 50 - 80 patients a day. His intuition was developed without any limit. As soon as the patient entered the doctor's room Dr.H.Lukin could already feel his psychological problems and physical disorders e.g. up to the size of pneumonia nidus as it is recollected by one of his students. He believed that the roots of diseases are in the sphere of psyche and that the application area of curative efforts should be mental energy of a human being which he considered to be both physical and spiritual reality. He studied the ways of its displaying in pathological and healthy state. And homeopathy was accepted by him as a means of influence upon mental energy which started acting in the organism by itself and curing the whole economy after taking the homeopathic remedy. This approach gave very good results. He had even succesful case of leucosis and cancer treatment. The well-known people of science and arts from Moscow were among his patients.
He welcomed the development of science and sophisticated experiments in the field of homeopathy. But because of political reasons he could not open the scientific laboratory by himself. But he passed his enthusiasm, his energy and knowleage to his not numerous pupils who put into practice his ideas.
Dr.Harald Lukin passed the signatures and materials of his doctor's practice to the Institute of Himalaian Investigations in India. All his books and manuscripts during his life were kept by his close friend, publisher Mr.Gwido Trepshe who is preparing them for publishing in the USA. In such a way it was not Latvia which was a scientific heir of two its outstanding homeopathic doctors. And the reason of that is in the attitude to homeopathy which was formed here during their life on the background of taking place polical cataclysms. To understand that let us come back again to the 30s of the 20th century.
The political events which took place in the countries neighbouring Latvia were troubled. Stalin's regime raged in the USSR. The third President of independent Latvia perpetrated the coup d'etat in 1934 establishing hid dictatorship. On the 23rd of August, 1939 the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was concluded between Germany and USSR. According to the secret enclosures of this pact three Baltic republics as well as Poland and Finland became the subject of division by Germany and USSR. On the 1st of September, 1939 after arranging provocation in Poland Germany broke out World War II. According to the Treaty of 1939 between Latvia and the USSR on 17th of July 1940 USSR the Soviet troops entered the territory Latvia to protect these lands from German agression. In June 1941 during one week after attacking the USSA by Gitler's army Latvia was occupied by German troops.
We should remember that on this menacing background on February 1940 pharmasist Egon Dilbeck bought the oldest Riga homeopathic pharmacy. He had time to install the equipment for tablets production (by the way which is in use till nowadays because in Latvia still there are no industrially produced homeopathic remedies.) As well he increased the pharmacy staff what allowed to extend its activity. But the pharmacy was in his private ownership not long because it was nationalized soon after Soviet power was established in Latvia. But Mr.Dilbek continued to run the pharmacy until he retired in 1950. Thus he proved himself to be not only a good manager but also a clever diplomat staying at his post during the years of German and Soviet occupation.
Since the 1st of January, 1950 Mrs.Mirdza Ozolina was appointed the manager of the oldest Riga pharmacy being deputy manager since the 20th of December, 1947.
In post-war Latvia there was no political peace. The Soviet regime following Stalin's traditions continued repressions against those who were suspected being on the side of «hostile ideology». Homeopathic doctor Harald Lukin was among those repressed. In 1949 as a member of Rerich's Society he was sentenced to death. Later the verdict was substituted with 25 years of labour camps without the right to come back. In 1954 Dr.H.Lukin was discharged and fully exonerated. On his return Riga he restored his homeopathy practice and contacts with the pharmacy.
Usually signatures were forthcoming to the pharmacy from the privately practicing doctors. In post-war period they were Dr.Martene, Dr.Leja, Dr.Kruminsh, Dr.Vulfins, Dr.Paukshene, Dr.Burshteins, Dr.Asinas, Dr.Ivochkins and some other.
The number of signatures forthcoming to the pharmacy decreased abruptly in 1959 because the private practice including homeopathic one was forbidden. More than that homeopathy was excluded from the list of doctor's specialities.
There were no homeopathic departments in poly-clinics at that time. And manager of Riga pharmacy Mrs.M.Ozolina could not persuade City Hall of Riga of the need for such a department. A solution was found eventually due to her good personal relations with the Association of Homeopathioc doctors in Moscow. Support from the metropolois was influential and in September 1965 Moscow subsidary homeopathic clinic was opened in Riga. Six physicians worked in this establishment which existed only a couple of months. It was at the end of November 1965 when the sibsidary was closed by head of Healthcare Department having received instructions from the Comunist party committee. The homeopathic doctors were regarded as quacks. Mrs. M.Ozolina memorized the said phrase, «Let it be only a pharmacy, but we don't need physicians».
But patients wrote many complains to the Ministry of Health Care and Riga City Hall. Due to their unprecedented activity on the 1st of January, 1966 the Homeopathic department requiring payment was opened within the premicies of Riga poly-clinic N5. By 1970 already 18 pysicians worked there.
Later one more attempt to close this department was made by Minister of Health Care Mr.Petrov from Moscow. But being acquainted with the results of the homeopathic treatment he was to aknowleage them being positive and the homeopathic department was left in peace.
During post-war years there was no serious literature on homeopathy in the USSR including Latvia as one of its republics. Those books and brochures which were published here by the beginning of the century disappeared. Nobody even remembered them. Several books in German were kept in the homeopathic pharmacy. «The manual on preparation of homeopathic remedies" by Wilmar Schwabe was one of them, being published in 1934, it served as a basis for preparation of medicine. In 1957 this book was republished in Moscow in Russian. Up to now almost all remedies are prepared in the pharmacy. Yearly the pharmacy buys up to 5 tonns herbal raw material and proceeds it by the hands of the pharmacy workers. The personel for the pharmacy is trained on spot too. Now and then the homeopathic pharmaceutists from Lithuania, Belorussia, Tadzhikistan and Russia were instructed here. Till 1991 the pharmacy provided all three Baltic republics and Belorussia with medicine. Then Mrs.?.Ozolina helped to found pharmacies in Kaunas (Lithuania) and Minsk (Belorussia) in the 80s supplying them the raw material and tinctures.
The more complicated matter was the homeopathic education of doctors. Some of them studied the preserved books in German e.g., Dr.?.?rajs, Dr.R.Kalnina, Dr.G.Kundzina, practicing since 1966 ?., Dr.B.Limba, practicing homeopathy since 1983. Dr.R.Kalnina is the author of a small home reference book on homeopathy. Dr.G.Kundzina translated the book on homeopathy by Dr.H.Storch into Latvian but the book was not published. During the following decades homeopathic self-education prevailed in Latvia as the existing political system in the USSR limited the contacts with foreign homeopathic school.
But the system died. Together with period of Perestroyka in the USSR and with the avalanche of information being secret during stalinism epoch the sudden great advance in the conscience of the people has happened. The first reaction in all Soviet Union repuplics was reaction of tearing away, disowning of horror which was filled by acts of the dictator who usurped the power in !!!!!!USSR for almost half a century. The movement of People's Front was formed in Latvia. On 4th of May, 1990 the Declaration of Independence was published. The actual announcement of independence of Latvia was proclaimed in a few days after the putch started on 19th of August, 19991 in Moscow.
Due to these changes homeopathy was also as if freed of the cage of the communist ideology which blocked its development both in Latvia and in other former Soviet republics.
In the very 1991 the Latvian Homeopathic Association (LHA) was founded. It started arranging yearly courses on primary education of homeopathic doctors. It was registrated officially on the 22nd of February, 1995. Dr.B.Limba did her best for its foundation. In 1990 she was a member of Moscow Homeopathic Association. And she is the President of LHA already for 9 years protecting interests of its members.
The status of homeopathy in Latvia during these years is strengthened. It is accepted as supplementary medical doctor's speciality and during a short period till 1998 it was even in the number of the basic specialities. Homeopathic doctors start private practice and medical centers. They have possibilities of training abroad. From 1996 to 2000 seven Latvian doctors (Dr.S.Lapuzjko, Dr.I.Trubachev, Dr.N.Judina, Dr.M.Afanasieva, Dr.I.Benderska, Dr.L.Scherbakova, Dr.T.Pokatova) acquired a complete course of training in the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy of George Vithoulkas in Greece. Since the beginning of the 90s the seminars of Kiev homeopathic school (Ukraine) take place in Riga. The founder of Kiev school Dr.Demyan Popov had a lot in common spiritually and professionally with the Latvian homeopathic doctors Felix and Harald Lukins. The faithful followers of Popov's school are Dr.J.Demidova, I.Vecvagare and others.
Since 1998 the LHA joined the Liga Medicorum Homoepatica Internationalis, and since 1999 LHA is a member of the European Committee for Homeopathy. Reaching the international level enhanced the prestige of LHA among medical professionals of Latvia. Colleagues from Belgium, Austria, France offer their help in training to the Latvian doctors. The attitude towards homeopathy is getting more loyal because of its indisputable efficiency The number of patients wishing to get homeopathic treatment is growing rapidly. In 2000 the Baltic Center of Classical Homeopathy was founded. Opening it we intended to spread the ideas of Hahnemann and his brilliant follower in their classical purity. The homeopathic center «Ars» which sprang up instead of the homeopathic department of the poly-clinic opened in 1966 continues its work.
Riga homeopathic pharmacy goes on its work as well. But because of boundary obstacles it provides with homeopathic remedies only population of Latvia now which are delivered to ordinary town and rural pharmacies of Latvia according to orders of homeopathic doctors living there. In spring 2000 the subsidary of the pharmacy is opened in Riga. Mrs.M.Ozolina continues her work too but in a new quality of a consultant free of charge as since the 1st of February, 2000 she is retired. The pharmacy management was passed to energetic Mrs.I.Berkmane.
Nevertheless the history of classical homeopathy in Latvia is only at its start.
Are we entitled to judge the past? The confident young growth of seeds of homeopathy put into the Latvian soil at the beginning of the 19th century were tried to be trample down or plucked. But the roots taken by them went deep into this soil. Only gratefully recollecting those who did not allow to weed them and accepting the cruel facts of history as a lesson, having understood and forgiven it, one can feel oneself sure moving towards future. Probably the destiny of the Riga Homeopathic pharmacy which was not involved in politics and survived during revolutions and wars and having continued doing its humane matter providing people with harmless and being in wise hands magic remedies will serve as an evidence of heavenly protection, divine patronage method which is to give back health to the mankind for the higher purposes of its existence.

FORT WAYNE – People keep asking, and were, like, 12 minutes away from the Preface To The Introduction To The Forward To The Super Bowl Pregame Show, so I guess its time now for the big reveal.
A football team will win Super Bowl XLVII today.
Someone named Harbaugh will be the winning coach.
Someone with more tattoos than Necktie Johnson in Cell Block D will at some point make a play.
Confetti will fill the fake sky inside the Superdome in New Orleans, and some of it will land on Jim Nantzs head, ruining yet another great hair day for the veteran broadcaster.
And, yes, I know. Youre rolling your eyes at me right now.
Youre thinking Im dodging the question, and I guess I am, because Ive been batting this around for a few days and I still cant tell you whats going to happen. Maybe the Baltimore Ravens man up for Ray Lewis one last time. Maybe the San Francisco 49ers and Colin Kaepernick read-option everyone into a coma. Maybe the zebras wave off Frank Gores winning touchdown, and Jim Harbaughs head explodes.
Heres the thing, though: Ive got working corneas and numbers, too, and they tell me the 49ers are the better team.
Theyre the top rushing team in the playoffs, averaging 6.6 yards per carry and 236 yards per game. The Ravens, meanwhile, have given up more yards per game on the ground in the playoffs than any team save Green Bay – who, of course, got torched by the Niners for 245 rushing yards in the divisional round.
So, yeah. The evidence favors San Francisco. And dont give me the Kaepernick argument – hes only started nine games, so of course hes going to jitter apart like a cheap watch in the Big One – because Ill come back at you with Tom Brady, whod only started 16 games before winning the first Super Bowl he ever played.
Kaepernicks got that kind of cool about him. And hes got a better defense to lean on than Brady did.
All which goes absolutely nowhere in explaining why Im picking the Ravens today.
The 49ers might have the numbers and talent, see, but the Ravens have history, and Im a history guy from way back.
History tells me the hot team wins this deal, and the Ravens are the hot team. Theyre the team that found its mojo right around the first of the year and has ridden it all the way to New Orleans, taking down along the way a couple of teams the eyes and numbers said they had no business taking down.
Denver was the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and they got Baltimore in the thin air on an icebox afternoon – and yet, if not for two kick returns by the Broncos Trindon Holliday, the Ravens win going away. Then they went up to Bill Belichicks House of Delights in Foxborough, fell behind 13-7, and throttled the Patriots 21-0 thereafter.
All of this reminds me of the 2011 Giants, who were 7-7 before winning their last two regular-season games, then crushed Atlanta and Green Bay on the road en route to winning Super Bowl XLVI. It reminds me of the 2006 Colts, who lost four of their last seven games before somehow finding a run defense – in the couch cushions, maybe – that carried them to the Lombardi Trophy. It reminds me of the 1980 Oakland Raiders, the first wild-card team to win a Super Bowl.
And so, in honor of Jim Plunkett and Cliff Branch n them, Im saying the Ravens win one last ring for Ray.
Baltimore 27, San Francisco 24.

It's tough to figure out where Mikko Lehtonen is best suited to play. In two-plus years in the SM-Liiga, the Boston Bruins prospect scored just 18 goals and 21 assists in 106 games. Despite being a teenager in the top pro league in his native Finland, his numbers were a little weak for someone with his offensive talents.
Still, the Bruins brought him over to North America and lo and behold, he blossomed offensively, scoring 51 goals and 52 assists in 150 AHL games over two seasons. We'll forgive you if you think that the North American style of play agreed with Lehtonen. It was just a question of his maturation as a hockey player coinciding with his arrival in Providence.
By many accounts, Lehtonen did not adjust well to the North American style because the big rangy winger doesn't play a physical style.
This year, he returned to Europe, but opted to play in the Swedish Elite League and his style of play seems better fit across the pond.
With 12 goals and 11 assists in his first 19 games with Skelleftea, it would seem that he's better suited to the bigger ice surface.
At 23, he's not typecast yet and he only signed a one-year contract in the SEL after not accepting the Bruins qualifying offer this past summer.
Lehtonen is an athletic winger with a good work ethic and solid defensive awareness. Despite his size, he's an agile skater and plays a high-energy game that coaches love and opponents hate. He's a good penalty killer because of excellent anticipation. In the Prospects Report, I described Lehtonen as a good support player. Think Jere Lehtinen Lite – but in a tall boy can.
This past summer, the Bruins signed some young talent such as Joe Colborne, Jordan Caron and Maxime Sauve, so even if he stayed in Providence, he might have struggled to get prime-time ice time there. He probably made a wise choice to move back to Sweden for one year and develop his game. He could still come back next year and earn a spot with the Bruins. He did well to give himself a new challenge and grow a bit as a player. Three years in a row in the AHL is probably not the best thing for a player.
Lehtonen is the Bruins third-round pick (83rd overall) from the 2005 draft, so they're keen to develop him into an NHLer.
In his draft year, scouts predicted he would need to bulk up to be able to make a smooth transition to North American style. Well, depending on which source you believe, he might have not bulked up and he might have grown an inch or two taller.
In his draft year, he was listed as 6-foot-3, 191 pounds. Now, he's listed at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds and 6-foot-5, 196 pounds. How much he's bulked up and grown might be a matter of perception or timing, but it doesn't really matter because Lehtonen doesn't really use his size well. He's got decent speed and hands for a big man, but doesn't work well in the smaller confines of a North American rink.
He has excellent anticipation and there were scouts who thought he had a pretty high upside when he was drafted. Don't give up on him yet, but don't expect him to come back to the AHL. If he doesn't make the Bruins, he'll likely keep playing in Europe. Nathan Horton is ensconced as the Bruins' first-line right winger, but if Mark Recchi ever retires and the Bruins shed Michael Ryder's salary, there could be an opening for Lehtonen.
Upside: 25-35-60, 50 PIMs
Ryan Van Horne said:
My comment about Lehtonen playing a third year in the AHL is that had he played a third year in the AHL, he would have needed to show a major surge in production. He was at the same level in his two years in Providence. This Swedish sabbatical might be a permanent switch for him because of his soft play, but if he has an eye on returning to North America, it helps his chances. It doesn't help more than making a similar improvement in the AHL, but certainly more than a modest jump in production in the AHL would have. As Chris Hayward pointed out, Lehtonen might never play for the Bruins. I wouldn't rule out him returning to NHL with another franchise, however.

chris hayward said:
Lehtonen is a soft player and thus won't see the light of day with the Bruins. Have fun in Europe Mikko.
