Barry Bearak '71 was jailed Thursday through Monday in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, while reporting for The New York Times. He was originally charged with working as a journalist without accreditation, but it has been changed to falsely presenting himself as a journalist, according to the Times. The Knox alumnus and Pulitzer Prize winner is scheduled to receive an honorary degree of Doctorate of Humane Letters at Commencement this year. He was taken to a clinic Monday for injuries to his back after a seven-foot fall from his concrete bunk in the crowded dark cell, the Times reported.
Bearak has been reporting on the recent elections in Zimbabwe and the suspected defeat of Robert Mugabe in the presidential race. Mugabe's party ZANU-PF has lost control of Zimbabwe's parliament, and unofficial tallies of the presidential race give Morgan Tsvangirai a victory with 50.3 percent of the vote, enough to avoid a runoff election. Mugabe has been in power for 28 years, and his government has not yet released the official results of the March 29 vote, citing "errors" in the tally and demanding a recount.
The most recent article written by Bearak, dated April 3, talks about the Parliamentary losses and includes an interview with "a businessman with close connections to the [ZANU-PF] party hierarchy, speaking on condition of anonymity." The businessman said top party members and members of Mugabe's cabinet urged Mugabe to request a runoff election where "the party would employ tactics of intimidation and bloodshed."
"Barry is doing the serious kind of journalism that needs to get done today," said Bob Jamieson, former television news correspondent for ABC and NBC who received an honorary doctorate from Knox in 1996. He attended Knox in the early 1960s and is now a member of the Board of Trustees. "His reputation is that he is one of the best reporters of his generation."
Jamieson said Mugabe's agenda is to keep the truth about his regime from the world and the people of Zimbabwe, and it is people like Bearak who tell the truth, even in the face of danger. Jamieson, who has an extensive history of foreign correspondence, talked about the mindset of a journalist in a dangerous situation.
"You've got to think about [the danger], but you also have to go ahead and do your job," he said. He said the world is particularly dangerous for journalists today, citing the nearly fatal head wound colleague Bob Woodruff received from a roadside bomb while reporting in Iraq in 2006. "Vietnam does not seem very dangerous today," he said.

The band's name refers to that of an experimental band where the composer LaMonte Young was joined by John Cale in the period before the birth of the Velvet Underground. Despite the 80s will be dominated by pop and disco music, in California there was a revival of guitar rock in the underground music scene, fueled by groups such as REM and the Replacements. Wynn takes a further step forward (or backward depending on interpretation) and dusts off a rock sound full of feedback that takes clear inspiration from the Velvet Underground. The Dream Syndicate become the group leader of the so-called 'paisley underground', a musical movement located mainly in Los Angeles, clearly inspired by the '60s, which also includes bands like Green On Red, Bangles and Three O'Clock. They released the first record with original line up (Wynn/Precoda/Smith/Duck), then Kendra Smith was replaced by Dave Provost for just some month, and then definitively by Mark Walton. In 1984, after the release of a live album, also Precoda leaves and it's replaced by Paul B. Cutler. The band records other two studio albums and then broke up. Other releases like live albums, compilations and videos came over the years, until now. The band in its last line up (Wynn/Cutler/Walton/Duck) was reunited for one concert at McCabe's, Santa Monica on July 28, 2006.
In 2012 the band's returned with the last lineup (only Jason Victor from Miracle 3 took the place of Paul B. Cutler) for a Spanish tour in october and the 30th anniversary of Days Of Wine And Roses. You can read the full story of the reunion in the diaries. In spring 2014 to commemorate 30th anniversary of Medicine Show will take place an european tour...

The trains have been a mess the last couple of days. Let me preface my comments by admitting that I dont expect Septa to be perfect given the amount of snow we've received over the past four days. However, what I do expect is a bit more customer service.
Example #1:
Last night, I got on the 5:22 train. Septa has a website called "Trainview" that shows realtime train status. Prior to leaving the office, Trainview told me that my train was only a few minutes late. Upon arriving at Suburban Station, my train pulled up more or less on time. However, this is where things took an immediate downward spiral.
The train sat for 30 minutes on the platform. Not once in that 30-minute span of time did a conductor make any sort of arrangement as to what the problem was. I am not asking much - just tell me whats up, even if you dont know the answer as to when the problem will remedied. Knowing something is better than knowing nothing. Turns out they couldnt find an engineer to drive the train. I am assuming that Septa was short-staffed on crews - people probably called out of work. Thats no big deal -I can understand that - just tell me what the hell is going on.
Example #2:
Monday night, Septa sends a two-car train in lieu of the normal 5 car train for the 5:50 pm train. As you can imagine, it was bedlam. People were crammed everywhere. Once we left Suburban Station, we were filled to the max. The friggen train has the audacity to pull up to the platform at 30th Street Station (that's the next stop) and take on passengers!! I hear the conductor yelling in the vestibule "MOVE BACK MOVE BACK MAKE SOME ROOM." Me, being the always even keeled calm and resolute perform, yelled back "WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE US TO GO?" C'mon man, use some friggen common sense.
Example #3:
Tonight, I get down to the station and its again the scene of chaos and anarchy. All trains were suspended due to signal problems or some cockamamy shit like that. Everyone is milling around the station, waiting for an update. All of the train status boards at each stairwell to the platforms were more or less blank. Occasional announcements were being made, but they were inaudible. How bout putting a couple of real-live customer service people at each stairwell periodically giving some updates to the throngs of passengers standing around with their thumbs up their asses?
FYI, as soon as one of the outbound trains arrived at Suburban station, I ran down that platform and jumped and amazingly got a seat. Cha-ching.

Still Haunted
The Blackwater Lightship
By Colm Tóibín
Picador 273pp £15 order from our bookshop
After an excursion to Argentina, the chief exponent of minimalist melancholy has returned to his own ground. Colm Tóibín's third novel, The Story of the Night, was set in Galtieri country, in the terrain of the disappeared and the shadowy. It was an enigmatic work, which left a vapour-trail of apprehension in the reader's mind. The Blackwater Lightship begins solidly in a Dublin suburb, where two married schoolteachers are starting their summer holidays. But the story soon moves to the coastal south-east, where land must negotiate for survival with the wind and the sea, and individuals must protect themselves from the eroding claims of family and the past.

We visited the Osborne Lights on the 2nd night they were on in early November. I had no idea how mesmerizing it was going to be. I figured we would walk down the street looking at the lights and it would be a 15 or so minute time thing. We were in the Streets of America for over an hour just looking. There were tons of photopass photographers and we got lots of great pictures. Finding the hidden Mickey's and the black cat was tons of fun. We have scheduled our trip in November again next year partly so we can see these gorgeous lights again.
Pros:Mesmerizing Lights

Saw the lights on 12/14, a Sunday. We booked the Frozen dessert party just to be able to see the show without the crowds, since my mom uses a scooter. Watched from our table until about 8pm, when the park officially closed, then ventured into the Streets. There were EMH that night but the area wasn't too crowded by that point. I thought the lights danced more often in years past but maybe not. Lines for Photopass pics were long at all stations, so we didn't get any. Found the hidden cat completely by accident! A great start to the holiday season and a good way to begin our trip.
Pros:Amazing show

This is a really neat (and free!) event. I love the lights, the snow, the music. It will really get you in the mood for Christmas. The only drawback were the food/drink stands. Multiple lines and not a real clear idea if you were even in a line. I remember the same from last year. I really wanted a hot chocolate and ended up in the right place, but they should be a little more organized.

EDGY's Illinois State Redbirds Grade: B
Illinois State once again was able to build a strong overall recruiting class. Head coach Brock Spack has been able to turn around the Redbirds program in his tenure at ISU by being able to out-recruit his conference rivals. ISU needed to reload upfront on the offensive line after graduating its entire starting unit from a season ago. The Redbirds inked seven hogs, including the best name in college football in Kobe Buffalomeat, then also filled needs at wide receiver along with adding more depth to several spots with the Class of 2017. Illinois State also remained focused on in-state talent, as seven of its 23-player recruiting class call Illinois home.
Headliner Of The In-State Class?
Batavia offensive tackle Evan Day ( 6-foot-6, 290 pounds) might still be a few pounds shy of the listed 290 pounds for now, but I fully expect that to change. Day has tremendous length and reach and is an athletic kid who moves well. Once Day fully fills out his oversized frame he has a chance to become one of a handful of in-state names who will be expected to step in and fill some immediate holes on the ISU offensive line. I would not be stunned to see a few in-state freshmen offensive linemen get serious looks this August at cracking the starting lineup.
The One Who Got Away?
Illinois State was in the hunt for Naperville North three-star tight end Mitch Lewis (6-foot-6, 220 pounds) up until the last week of the recruiting period. Lewis, who is very close to his family, also has a special needs younger brother at home. Lewis gave staying closer to home and playing for the Redbirds serious consideration. Lewis didn't rule out the ISU Redbirds until after his last official visit to Miami of Ohio, which he signed with last Wednesday.
Final Thoughts on the Illinois State Redbirds Recruiting Efforts:
Illinois State is simply the "hot" in-state FCS level school to be a part of these days. Besides the overall improvement of the football program under Spack, the improved facilities, terrific location and just the whole Bloomington-Normal area has been a huge boost to ISU and it's recruiting efforts.
Issues? The skyrocketing cost has become a negative in recruiting circles for all FCS level schools in Illinois. Several neighboring states continue to drag students over in huge numbers across state lines by enticing Illinois residents with discounted tuition and other incentives. Fortunately for Illinois State, they have been less impacted by these issues, but for how long? Some Missouri Valley Conference rival out of state schools pay nearly $10,000 less a year than in-state kids pay for schools such as Illinois State. At the FCS level, where most recruits receive a portion of a "full" scholarship, the overall economic picture begin to become a bigger factor.
Illinois State football and its recruiting efforts remain on the right path. While the football program still fights for center stage in the Illinois State sports landscape, the gap has narrowed towards the football program. The Class of 2017 again is another strong overall effort by ISU coaches and the Redbirds remain headed on course towards bigger and better things.

Life's Lessons in your Email's Inbox?
I know, they can be annoying but curiosity gets the best of me every time I see one. While the time management experts will tell you to immediately hit "delete", I just can't bring myself to do it. What if there's some important message, some life lesson, some clue to my purpose hidden for me within the text?
And so I read, on the quest to discover some piece of treasure buried within the typed words, and every so often I find it. It's an exciting moment when you stumble upon a story that touches you to your heart, which is what the following parable did for me. Hopefully as you read it, its lesson will touch you as well. No need to forward to your 10 closest friends; nothing bad will happen as a result if you don't. On the other hand, if you think the story will warm their heart, feel free to share the link to this post.
Sister of Soul
Soulspiration of the Week:
Once upon a time on an island, there lived all the feelings and emotions: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to them that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.
All that is except for Love; Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. But as the island was becoming nearly submerged, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "Sorry Love, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat and so there is no place here for you."
Next, Love asked Vanity, who was also sailing by, for help. Vanity was ready with the same answer, "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat."
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, take me along with you."
"I'm sorry, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" was Sadness' sullen reply.
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so preoccupied with her happiness that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. An overjoyed Love jumped up into the boat and in the process forgot to ask where they were going. When they arrived at a dry land, the elder went her own way.
Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who was that who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" thought Love. Then, as if reading the face of Love, Knowledge smiled and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is." ~Unknown

Families of truants to lose child benefits in crackdown to stop children skipping lessons
"Parents who allow their children to play truant will have their child benefit payments slashed.

C Vista's three-building distribution center includes a process building, where liquid flavoring and fragrance is produced, a warehouse building where the product is stored in tanks and a technical office.
The close proximity of the warehouse and process buildings along with a tight construction site, presented a construction challenge. A premeditated lifting sequence and casting slab layout ensured a fluid and safe erection. The process building panels exceeded 66 feet in height, were 14 inches thick and had weights reaching 188,000 pounds. The process and warehouse facilities required flawless floors, to prevent deflection in the large steel containers that store the product.
The contractor had to brace the structure's panels to the outside of the building with the use of helical piles. Load gathering Tilt-Up braces were used to minimize the braces to two per panel, which sped up the lifting and removal procedure, in turn assisting the schedule and budget.
C Vista's cutting edge approach and progressive architectural design has created an aesthetically pleasing Tilt-Up structure with the desired exposure from the adjacent interstate.

This project was a 2010 TCA Tilt-Up Achievement Award winner.

'Make in India' and e-Procurement
Government of India has launched the initiative 'Make in India' to facilitate investment and build manufacturing infrastructure in India. The various sectors being targeted are - automobiles, automobile components, aviation, biotechnology, chemicals, construction, defence manufacturing, electrical machinery, electronic systems, food processing, IT, leather, media and entertainment, mining, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, ports, railways, renewable energy, roads & highways, space, textile and garments, thermal power, tourism & hospitality and wellness.
Government of India has come out with a very clear agenda - it wants the companies across the globe to come here and manufacture in India. These are very interesting times, for companies operating globally to come here and make in India. Though there are many reasons to invest in various industry sectors mentioned above, however, each sector has its own statistics, growth drivers, FDI policy, sector policy, and financial support extent by government and investment opportunity.
Consider automobile sector for instance, India is supposed to be the fourth biggest auto market in the world. Global car manufacturers are queuing up to launch vehicles here in India. This industry alone accounts for around 7% of India's GDP! And, that's not all that is to it. Passenger vehicles segment is slated to grow at over 15% CAGR between 2013-20. In such a growing setup, companies need a purchase mechanism that is quick, smart, efficient and effective. Since India has infrastructural issues, which are oblivious to none, it is imperative that procurement system is streamlined, automated & transparent and offers better competition and pricing amongst Indian vendors. E-Procurement not only helps in automating the entire manual process of purchase but it also significantly reduces the turn around time through online negotiations.
Even sectors such as construction can benefit from e-Procurement and especially from e-Auctions. Industry such as food processing has been working out ways to innovate and break the cartel in food packaging and transport through order allotment via Reverse e-Auctions. IT and BPO industry has started using e-Procurement for facility management and maintenance services. It helps in breaking the cartel and getting a good deal. Tourism and hospitality industry is looking at e-Auctions to increase the occupancy rates of hotels through bidding and online negotiations.
Pharmaceutical sector, which depends heavily on movement of drugs under a controlled environment, has started looking at e-Procurement and reverse e-Auctions to get better pricing for transportation and reduce the time wasted in offline tender management and negotiation. You may like to see one of our interesting case studies here.
Unequivocally, 'Make in India' campaign is being given a major push by Government of India and in such a case, e-Procurement will help facilitate the companies to procure and build value for the entire world efficiently, from here in India.

Russian officials responded angrily on Thursday to a proposal that would deny European visas to a list of 60 officials who have been implicated in the death of Sergei L. Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in pretrial detention in Moscow last year.
Konstantin I. Kosachev, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the State Duma, condemned the proposed ban as "Bolshevik tactics" and said Russia might be forced to "very harshly retaliate" if the proposal went forward.
The comments were in response to action by the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, which unanimously approved language recommending that European Union countries deny visas to 60 officials in the Russian Interior Ministry, prosecutorial Investigative Committee and prison administration, as well as to 12 judges.
The language, part of the Parliament's annual report on human rights, will go to the full body for approval in December. But European Union countries would not be bound by its language.
Mr. Magnitsky died on Nov. 16, 2009, after being held for more than 11 months on suspicion of tax fraud. At the time of his arrest, Mr. Magnitsky was working as outside counsel for Hermitage Capital Management, an international investment fund whose founder, William F. Browder, was involved in a bitter feud with the Russian authorities.

Posts for: November, 2018
After months of treatment we've removed your braces and your new smile emerges. Upon closer view, however, you notice a number of chalky white spots on your teeth.
These pale areas are white spot lesions (WSLs), the result of mineral breakdown from the long-term contact of acid with the enamel surface. The underlying cause is built-up bacterial plaque due to inadequate oral hygiene, and as such WSLs are the beginning stages of tooth decay.
While anyone can develop WSLs, brace wearers are highly susceptible because of the extra care required to clean around orthodontic hardware. Poor dietary habits such as frequent snacking on sugary or acidic foods and beverages also increase the risk of WSLs.
To reduce the risk of developing this condition, brace wearers must give extra attention and effort to daily oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing. The extra effort required in brushing can be aided by specialized toothbrushes designed to clean around brackets and wires, along with prescription-level fluoride toothpastes for added enamel strength. Floss threaders or a water flosser, a device that uses pulsating water under high pressure, may help you maneuver around hardware to remove plaque between teeth. It's also important to maintain a healthy mouth environment by limiting intake of sugary or acidic snacks and beverages, avoiding tobacco or excessive alcohol or caffeine, and drinking plenty of water to keep your mouth from drying out.
If you've already developed lesions, it's important to stop the decay process before it causes more damage. One way is to assist your body's natural mechanism for re-mineralizing tooth enamel with fluoride pastes or gels or re-mineralizing agents, or undergoing micro-abrasion to repair a tooth's surface.
To improve a tooth's appearance a procedure known as "caries infiltration" involves injecting a liquid tooth-colored resin into the lesion, which is then hardened with a curing light. The spot becomes less noticeable and appears more like normal enamel. For extensive defects, conventional bonding with composite resins or porcelain veneers can be used to cosmetically cover the tooth.
Getting ahead of the problem with effective oral hygiene and good dietary and lifestyle practices will keep WSLs at bay while you undergo orthodontic treatment. If they do develop, however, there are ways to minimize their effect and restore the look of your teeth.
If you would like more information on dental care during orthodontic treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
If we could go back in time, we all probably have a few things we wish we could change. Recently, Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of the syndicated TV show The Doctors, shared one of his do-over dreams with Dear Doctor magazine: "If I [could have] gone back and told myself as a teenager what to do, I would have worn a mouthguard, not only to protect my teeth but also to help potentially reduce risk of concussion."
What prompted this wish? The fact that as a teenage basketball player, Stork received an elbow to the mouth that caused his two front teeth to be knocked out of place. The teeth were put back in position, but they soon became darker and began to hurt. Eventually, both were successfully restored with dental crowns. Still, it was a painful (and costly) injury — and one that could have been avoided.
You might not realize it, but when it comes to dental injuries, basketball ranks among the riskier sports. Yet it's far from the only one. In fact, according to the American Dental Association (ADA), there are some two dozen others — including baseball, hockey, surfing and bicycling — that carry a heightened risk of dental injury. Whenever you're playing those sports, the ADA recommends you wear a high-quality mouth guard.
Mouthguards have come a long way since they were introduced as protective equipment for boxers in the early 1900's. Today, three different types are widely available: stock "off-the-shelf" types that come in just a few sizes; mouth-formed "boil-and-bite" types that you adapt to the general contours of your mouth; and custom-made high-quality mouthguards that are made just for you at the dental office.
Of all three types, the dentist-made mouthguards are consistently found to be the most comfortable and best-fitting, and the ones that offer your teeth the greatest protection. What's more, recent studies suggest that custom-fabricated mouthguards can provide an additional defense against concussion — in fact, they are twice as effective as the other types. That's why you'll see more and more professional athletes (and plenty of amateurs as well) sporting custom-made mouthguards at games and practices.
"I would have saved myself a lot of dental heartache if I had worn a mouthguard," noted Dr. Stork. So take his advice: Wear a mouthguard whenever you play sports — unless you'd like to meet him (or one of his medical colleagues) in a professional capacity…
If you would like more information about mouthguards, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can read more in the Dear Doctor magazine article "Athletic Mouthguards."
There are several reasons why dental implants are so popular. Perhaps the most important, though, is their longevity: if maintained properly implants can last for decades. However, they're not indestructible—certain mouth conditions could put them at risk for early failure. But if you address emerging problems early, you may be able to prevent that unfortunate outcome.
Your implants may be in danger, for example, if you have a teeth grinding or clenching habit. This occurs when a person involuntarily and repeatedly bites down on their teeth when not chewing or speaking. Usually triggered in adults by high stress, teeth grinding can subject both natural teeth and implants to damaging levels of force. Over time this can cause bone loss around an implant and weaken their support. It could also cause a direct break in an implant.
But there are ways to stop or at least reduce the effects of teeth grinding. One effective way is a custom-made bite guard you wear while you sleep. Made of hard plastic, the guard prevents the teeth from making solid contact with each other, reducing the amount of force generated.
A more prominent problem is periodontal (gum) disease, a bacterial infection caused by built-up dental plaque on tooth surfaces. This can trigger inflammation, a normal defensive response that when it persists for an extended period of time can damage tissues and supporting bone. It can also cause a specific form of gum disease related to implants called peri-implantitis, in which the tissues that support an implant become infected and weaken, leading eventually to possible implant failure.
If you have implants, then, you should brush and floss daily to prevent gum disease, as well as see your dentist at least every six months for cleanings and checkups. And if you notice anything like reddened, swollen or bleeding gums, see your dentist immediately. The sooner you undergo treatment, the better the outcome for your implants as well as your overall health.
Dental implants can give you years of great service and can prove to be well worth the cost. But you'll have to stay on your guard against gum disease and other mouth conditions that could endanger them down the road.
If you would like more information on dental implants, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dental Implants: A Tooth-Replacement Method that Rarely Fails."

Reserve Bank: briefing
Finance Standing Committee
08 September 1999
Meeting Summary
A summary of this committee meeting is not yet available.
Meeting report
8 September 1999
Documents handed out:
Graphs of Economic Indicators for South Africa - see Reserve Bank website
South African Reserve Bank 1999 Annual Economic Report
With the hope of achieving greater transparency, the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Mr Tito Mboweni, was invited by the committee to give a presentation on South Africa's economic situation. Mr Mboweni gave the initial address, focusing on the developments in the Reserve Bank, the responsibilities of the deputy governors and the governor of the Bank, and representativeness in employment in the Bank. He also spoke about two policy issues: inflation targeting and financial services regulation. Members of the Reserve Bank Research team then gave presentations on the state of the South African economy.
Tito Mboweni spoke about the general lack of public knowledge about the functions of the Reserve Bank. He wants the public to have a better idea about what it is that the Reserve Bank does. He emphasised the need for the Bank to have greater transparency and said that having better contact with Parliament, the finance committee in particular, would be the best way to do that.
Developments in the Reserve Bank
Mr Mboweni explained how some of the Bank's functions have been restructured as with the formation of several new committees. These committees are:
- the monetary policy committee,
- the budget committee,
- the management committee,
- the monetary policy implementation committee,
- and the payments and currency committee.
Mr Mboweni spoke about how the Research Department (formally the Economics Department), under the Governor, has taken on new areas of research. These areas are monetary policy research, international economic research, research into labour market and social issues. These developments were outlined in his recent address.
Employment equity in the Reserve Bank
Mr Mboweni said the Reserve Bank has as one of its priorities to move towards employment equity within the Bank. Noting the inequality within the Reserve Bank itself, at present out of 1997 employees the figures on the employee and management composition of the Bank are as follows :
- 1172 are white and
- 825 are black.
- 86% of management is white
- while 13% are black.
- only 16 women in management.
Mr Mboweni said that in five years' time the Bank sought to have achieved 50% employment for both blacks and whites with 33% of those employed being women.
Policy Issues
Mr Mboweni spoke about two policy issues: inflation targeting and financial services regulation.
About inflation targeting, Mr Mboweni said that the government was in complete agreement that inflation targeting would help to create greater transparency in the Reserve Bank. He also stated that at present the Reserve Bank did not have the capacity to do the necessary econometric modeling. Because of this he said that to give any sort of data as to when inflation targeting would come into effect would be premature. To help remedy this situation the assistance of many in the developed world has been sought.
With respect to financial services regulation Mr Mboweni said that the key issue was the integration of a regulatory environment for financial services.
Mr Mboweni also took a moment to state that it was the Minister of Finance and not the Governor of the Reserve Bank who has the power to dictate terms of exchange control.
Economic Summary
A presentation on South Africa's recent economic progress in the form of a series of detailed graphs was given by two members of the Reserve Bank research team.
Dr. R Davies (ANC) asked about de-mutualisation and its impact on the Gross Domestic Product and what exactly was meant when the Bank said that South Africa's inflation rate should be "in step" with the international community.
Mr Mboweni said that South Africa must be aware of its position in the global context. While South Africa itself is a developing country, most of its trading partners are in the developed world. South Africa must therefore be very careful to remain "in step" with the global community with respect to inflation.
Mr K. Andrew (DP) asked three questions. The first, how to increase savings and foreign direct investment (FDI). The second asked what was the role of Parliament in the inflation targeting process. The third question asked for how long have the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures been adjusted to comply with the United Nations.
To the first question Mr Mboweni responded that due to the lack of an increased rate of savings, steps would have to be taken to attract foreign direct investment. To the second question Mr Mboweni said that a mechanism for discussion between the Reserve Bank and the Finance Committee must be found. He suggested that a consultation on inflation targeting alone should be held by the end of the year. He emphasized the need to bring the business community and other organized parties into the discussion, in an effort to bring the Bank closer to the people.
He also said that a work schedule will be drawn up and given to the Finance Committee. In response to the third question, the research department said that the National Accounts have been redone from 1990 onwards and that all post 1946 figures have been adjusted to the new model.
Mr A Feinstein (ANC) asked about the need to integrate the regulatory framework. He also asked for the governor's thoughts on the recent decline of repo rates.
With respect to the second question Mr Mboweni responded that a number of factors must be looked at before signals are sent to the market. A Deputy General added that these rates will not be the new rate of decline for the entire year as some believe. On the first question Mr Mboweni said that much discussion is needed. He said that the supervisory capacity must be integrated as well. He pointed out that the banking system is a strength in South Africa and must remain so if any monetary policy hopes to succeed.
Dr. G Koornhof (UDM) asked if the Governor foresaw net open position of foreign currency declining and if so, to what levels. He then asked about the nature of a more transparent relationship with the Finance Committee and if the forecasting models which are in existence can be shared with the committee.
Mr Mboweni replied that transparency is very important as people must understand why the Reserve Bank makes the decisions that it does. He said that the Reserve Bank will issue a statement every time it changes its stance on monetary policy and will publish a biannual monetary policy review which will review development in monetary policy over the course of the year.
The Deputy Governor said with respect to net open position, that it needs to be reduced but in such a way that it is a permanent reduction.
The Chairperson then closed the meeting as time had run out.

Dharma Shakti
Visionary, Founder and Organizer of Yogalution Movement
Yoga Instructor / Aryuvedic Practitioner / Pancha Karma Specialist /
Licensed Massage Therapist / Kirtan Wallah / Owner and Founder of Yogalution Movement / Creator of Free Yoga on The Bluff

Tuesdays 545pm : Mantra Meditation @ the studio
Tuesdays 6pm-730pm : Shakti Vinyasa Yoga @ the studio
Thursdays 545pm : Mantra Meditation @ the studio
Thursdays 6pm-730pm : Shakti Vinyasa Yoga @ the studio

Sundays 11am : Free Yoga on The Bluff @ the bluff
(bluff yoga takes place on the corner of Ocean Blvd and Junipero in Long Beach)
Dharma's journey down the path of healing arts started in 2000 at the age of 19. She began learning and practicing Massage Therapy at a tiny holistic school in San Diego called Body Mind College. While working part time as a Massage Therapist and working full time at a trucking company, she continued her studies. She dabbled in many different teachings and modalities of natural health ranging from aromatherapy, shamanism, herbalism, acupressure, iridology, naturopathy, energy work, Traditional Chinese Medicine and much more.
Her massage practice led her to asana to manage the tension she was feeling in her hands, wrists, shoulders, and back, from being overworked at the spa where she was employed. As she deepened her asana practice things began to unfold naturally for her; physically, mentally and emotionally. She was prompted and guided by teachers and mentors to study Ayurvedic Medicine. Heeding the advice, and the intuitive calling, she decided to enroll at California College of Ayurveda and began her studies. Soon after her CCA enrollment, she completed an intensive yoga teacher-training immersion at the Sivananda Ashram in Grass Valley, Ca. Upon her return she started teaching yoga asana in Nov. 2005. While studying at the Ashram she received a spiritual name from Swami Sitaramanda, according to her vedic chart.
Dharma graduated from California College of Ayurveda in June of 2007 as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and a Pancha Karma Specialist, just weeks shy of giving birth to her first son in June of 2007, taking on a whole new role in life as a mother. Having had a natural home birth (unassisted) she became an inspiration for many other mothers in the community, leading by example, balancing work life and motherhood.
That same year of 2007, Dharma started offering a free class once a week to her friends out on the bluff, which is now known as "Free Yoga on The Bluff". What started out as one simple class for her friends tunred it a full week schedule and is now offered 7 days a week and highly attended by many people in the long beach community. Weekend class attendance is 200+ ! For many people it is their first intoduction to yoga, and "Bluff Yoga" was voted "Best Yoga in Long Beach" in 2013 by the Long Beach Post.
Dharma continues her studies with her many mentors and spiritual teachers, having a deeply rooted fooundation in the Gaudiya Vaishnava Tradition, an ancient lineage, she studies and finds knowledge and wisdom in Vedic Sciences such as Bhakti and Jnana yoga, Spiritual Scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita and ancient Yogic Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are her biggest influences. One of her many teachers, Tukaram Das Prabhu, whom which she studied with for 10 years, has had a very big impact on the way Dharma teaches Yoga and the way in which she delivers Yoga Philosophy in her classes. Without his guidance, she would not be the teacher she is today.
Having taught at many yoga studios in long beach and seal beach since 2005, as well as co-owned and operated Trilogy Yoga for 2 and a half years (2010-2013), she now has her own sacred space to facilitate the power of yoga: Yogalution Movement and Ayurveda.
She teaches weekly yoga classes, leads RYS 200 hr teacher trainings, organizes "free yoga on the bluff", as well as hosts events, workshops kirtans and retreats all year round.
Her given name was Dharma Shakti, which means: Righteous Strength or She Who Has The Strength to Fulfill Her Purpose. Being at the ashram had deeply shifted her awareness and changed her life forever. It was a VERY challenging time but the outcome was a rebirth of her self. When she returned to Southern California she was an eternally transformed being, her life was about to embark on a whole new journey!
In 2013 Dharma travelled to India with renowned yoga teacher and spiritual enthusiast, Raghunath Cappo, Visiting holy sites, ancient temples, studying the Mahabharat, deepening her yoga practice, learning harmonium, chanting mantras, hearing past times of the deities, singing praises of the creator, meeting wandering sadhus on the streets, receiving blessings from the Divine!
For Dharma, it was truly an aupsicious trip. She received so much clarity about her life and grew very deep roots into her spiritual practice. Waking up to the sound of bhajans from local temples, chanting 16 rounds of mantra everyday, taking darshan at a variety of temples, meeting swami's and hearing their lectures and stories of divine pastime, Dharma was inspired and once again, forever changed for the better!
Deeply inspired by Raghunath Cappo, on the trip in india, Dharma has begun singing and playing small kirtans in class and sharing the Joy of NamKirtan with anyone willing to sing!
Dharma had the auspicious blessings of spending quite a bit of time in India with H.H. Radhanth Swami and was deeply impacted by his spiriutal teachings. She reveres him as a saintly transcendental being who offers valuable and applicable teachings. Her time with him and his words shared with her have profoundly affected her path as a bhakti yogi. Dharma considers Maharaj to be one of her main Teachers/ Gurus, and has a deep love, respect and appreciation for Radhanath maharaj and his non sectraian non dogmatic apporach to yoga and all things bhakti! Dharema continues to study with Maharaj Radhanath Swami, and take his counsel for all things spiritual.
~ Jai Guru Dev ~

How I love this overly caffeinated town of ours. On a recent glaringly hot and sunny Tuesday morning, I decided to venture into a new coffee bar in the city's picturesque West Village for a triple espresso. Whynot Coffee (As owner Emil Stefkov explained, the name follows his life philosophy.
I was a young adult in the 80s and 90s, so punk music, new wave music and the surrounding culture from that era was what I cut my teeth on when it came to rocking out. I remember all too well subletting an apartment in the East Village when punk was at an all-time glorious, loud, crazy, rebellious high, hearing the chaotic thump of Richard Hell and the Voidoids blasting in bars and clubs, standing among the ripped tee-shirts, tight jeans and pointy black boots that punk lovers wore (even on a sweltering day in August).
I've always considered fashion an art form. So it's a thrill to see Serious Cultural Institutions sharing my view–as the Metropolitan Museum of Art is doing with its current Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibition. Covering the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, "when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world", as the Met's catalog puts it, the show is devoted to the interplay between the purveyors of fine art (the Impressionists) and those of decorative arts (couturiers and clothing designers like Charles Worth, just emerging as name celebrities at the time).
Growing up in northeast Ohio, one of the region's most notable attractions is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. Out of all the costumes and artifacts, the thing I remember most vividly is a display of the bed John Lennon and Yoko Ono shared when they first moved to New York City

Chapter 32. Inferno: Canto XXXII
If I had rhymes both rough and stridulous,
I would press out the juice of my conception
For 'tis no enterprise to take in jest,
But may those Ladies help this verse of mine,
O rabble ill-begotten above all,
When we were down within the darksome well,
I heard it said to me: "Look how thou steppest!
Whereat I turned me round, and saw before me
So thick a veil ne'er made upon its current
As there was here; so that if Tambernich
And as to croak the frog doth place himself
Livid, as far down as where shame appears,
Each one his countenance held downward bent;
When round about me somewhat I had looked,
"Ye who so strain your breasts together, tell me,"
Their eyes, which first were only moist within,
Clamp never bound together wood with wood
And one, who had by reason of the cold
If thou desire to know who these two are,
They from one body came, and all Caina
Not he in whom were broken breast and shadow
So with his head I see no farther forward,
And that thou put me not to further speech,
Then I beheld a thousand faces, made
And while we were advancing tow'rds the middle,
Whether 'twere will, or destiny, or chance,
Weeping he growled: "Why dost thou trample me?
And I: "My Master, now wait here for me,
The Leader stopped; and to that one I said
"Now who art thou, that goest through Antenora
"Living I am, and dear to thee it may be,"
And he to me: "For the reverse I long;
Then by the scalp behind I seized upon him,
Whence he to me: "Though thou strip off my hair,
I had his hair in hand already twisted,
When cried another: "What doth ail thee, Bocca?
"Now," said I, "I care not to have thee speak,
"Begone," replied he, "and tell what thou wilt,
He weepeth here the silver of the French;
If thou shouldst questioned be who else was there,
Gianni del Soldanier, I think, may be
Already we had gone away from him,
And even as bread through hunger is devoured,
Not in another fashion Tydeus gnawed
"O thou, who showest by such bestial sign
That if thou rightfully of him complain,
If that wherewith I speak be not dried up."
