Why All Eyes are on Edinburgh Zoo's Frisky Panda Pals
Yang Guang limbers up
Maybe Edinburgh is that kinda town, because it wasn�t just Richard Branson getting frisky in Scotland last week; bumping Little Red�s arrival down the news agenda were the two pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, Tian Tian and Yang Guang, whose slow and steady journey to mating season has been vicariously lapped up by the British press.
Not because they�re creeps, see; but because a panda pregnancy will be a feat against all the oddsthe female is in season for just 48 hours. Also, the couple have only known each other for just over a year, so although it�s not quite celebrity speed, it�s pretty quick. Last year, they tried to breed unsuccessfully. This year, we were told when we visited last week, Tian Tian has been calling to Yang Guang with �much more urgency,� making the scientists think they might just hit the jackpot.

First Look: Richard Branson Shows Us All His 'Little Red'
Jaunted's 'Little Red' Series:
1. Par-tay on the tarmac!
2. The flight experience
3. Where it flies and for how much
Remember a couple of years back when Richard Branson lost a bet with Air Asia�s CEO Tony Fernandes, which meant he was going to have to dress up as a female flight attendant? That may not have come to fruitionalthough, according to Fernandes, the time is nighbut he went one step better worse further early this morning at Scotland's Edinburgh Airport.
Launching Little Red, Virgin Atlantic�s domestic UK service and a major step for the airline, Branson donned a kilt and then dressed down by flashing us.

Is This Picasso Too Sexy for Edinburgh Airport?
There�s a little bit of a controversy brewing at Scotland's Edinburgh Airport, but it has nothing to do with baggage fees or airport security. This time it�s an airport advertisement that�s getting passengers all hot and bothered.
On loan from the collections of the Tate over in London, Picasso�s Nude Woman in a Red Armchair is now on the wall at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. An airport advertisement was just trying to get people excited for the new exhibit and to sell some tickets, but apparently the "provocative" display of modern art is not appropriate for an airport�at least according to some passengers.

Where to Eat in Edinburgh Now
The dining room at 21212
Haggis, deep-fried Mars bars, mushy peas�the Scottish haven't really been known for their contributions to the culinary world. On our recent visit to Edinburgh, though, we found all that was changing thanks to a slew of new all-star chefs opening restaurants that at once embrace and evolve Scottish cuisine. Maybe that�s why this year is Scotland�s Year of Food and Drink, and the International Culinary Tourism Association described it as one of the most �unique, memorable, and interesting places for food and drink on the planet.�

Foreign Grocery Friday: Swigging Irn Bru in Scotland
When we travel, one of our favorite things to do is to pop into a local grocery store and check out the food products and candies we'd never find anywhere else. So we're trying out this new feature, Foreign Grocery Friday, where each week we'll feature some of our (and your) favorite overseas treats. Got a recommendation? Let us know!
What's that bottle of nuclear-orange soft drink on the same shelf as Pepsi, Coke and other top-brand colas? Oh, it's just the best selling pop in Scotland: Irn Bru. Although we like to pronounce it by mumbling "urn bruh," the actual way to say is simply "Iron Brew." Irn Bru is not only hugely popular in the UK, but also in other places around the world where you'll find some Scots residing. For example, we recently ran across it in Nova Scotia. The entire history of this curious drink is of course available over at Wikipedia, and we're stunned to find that this stuff was first introduced back in 1901.
The taste: Don't be afraid to try some when you spy its bright orangeness up against the dark bottles of other colas. Irn Bru doesn't taste like orange pop, nor is it unpleasant. Our chief Irn Bru expert describes its taste "citrus-y, cream soda-y, energy drink-y without quite tasting like any one of the three." We agree. It's hard to pinpoint it as, you see, no one knows the full Irn Bru recipe aside from two folks at the top of the company.

This is How British Fish and Chips Ought to Look
For Americans traveling to London, or really anywhere in the United Kingdom, there is one stereotypical English meal that must be sought out: fish and chips. It's a comfort food, so it doesn't matter if you find yourself in the UK all the time or if you've been saving up for years for a London vacation, because fish & chips is just one of those things.
We found this perfect juicy specimen of fish & chips (the chips are behind the fish, effectively propping it up) at the inexpensive and cozy pub restaurant called The World's End in Edinburgh, Scotland recently. Sure it's right on the Royal Mile and surrounded by shops that try to sell tartan to tourists, but you can't deny that it's a damned good place to settle down for a hearty meal, and perhaps sample haggis with one of their appetizers (so you're not stuck with a whole dinner of it). Forgive us for not devouring some fish & chips wrapped up in newspaper, but that gets greasy messy.

How to Climb 'Arthur's Seat,' Edinburgh's Awesome Dormant Volcano
What activities do you typically think of when planning a trip to Scotland? Well, there's trying haggis, maybe flirting with the idea of buying a kilt, and perhaps enjoying some nice highland scenery. But when we went to Edinburgh recently, we looked out the window of the hotel only to see a looming, misty dormant volcano in the distance; this is "Arthur's Seat" and it was calling our name.
A quick visit to the wiki page on Arthur's Seat verified that it is easily climbable, so we set out for what would become a most exhilaratingand at times, most dangeroushike. We cannot stress enough the importance of appropriate footwear!
After the jump, how to climb and what to see on Arthur's Seat

Missed Connections: Share The Fringe In Edinburgh
O, my luve's like a red, red rose... With the advent of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival a week from Sunday, a flood of foreigners will be crowding the streets of Scotland's biggest city to see new and cutting-edge live works. But just because you're on the Fringe doesn't mean you can't find someone to take to the shows. Exercise those plus-ones for once after you visit these hot spots:
The Secret Garden -- Eating in this dark, candle-lit spot is a "indulgent and decorative experience" from the wine waiters to the baked-goat-cheese tarts.
Castlehill, The Royal Mile
The Bongo Club -- Cafe by day, jazz/soul/techno club by night, so the bongos need never stop playing. 37 Holyrood Road
The Jolly Judge -- Yes, it's around the corner from a court of law, but why should that stop you from sampling one of its 30-plus malt whiskies while you battle some smarties on Monday's quiz night? 493 Lawnmarket

Naked Rambler's Birthday Suit in Jail
Oh, Naked Rambler, you're always so naked, and now your ass is in jail. It all happened when Stephen Gough walked into Edinburgh Sheriff Court to deal with a couple of the many charges that occurred during his recent walks with his equally sky-clad girlfriend (no word on her charges, if any).
Of course, our N.R. went to court naked. When he did the same thing on the next day, the judge told him he was "offensive" and found him in contempt.

The World's Best New Year's Celebration?
A river of fire, burning of a Viking ship and a Catalonian wicker bull, and four straight days of partying--now that is ringing in the New Year.
About 100,000 revelers headed to Princes Street during the December 29 - January 1 (Ne'er Day) Hogmanay event in downtown Ediburgh.
Those up early enough after the New Year celebrations will be able to take part in the One O'Clock Run from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade or the Edinburgh Bicycle Triathlon at the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Holyrood Park.
Jesus, we wouldn't even be able to open our eyes, let alone run, after four straight days of downing drinks and torching wicker bulls.

Oxford Bar
Thriller writer Ian Rankin, who covered his home town of Edinburgh for the Sunday Times, is all about this time of year, when the town's many festivals are over and the town is more or less left to the natives. One place that gets special mention is Rankin's longtime favorite the Oxford Bar, a recurring location in his novels. Because Oxford Bar's a little out of the way, it's not quite the complete tourist trap you might fear, says the man.

Escape Plan
Sylvester Stallone takes a few beatings and hunts for that one epic brawl with a bad guy, a guard played by Vinnie Jones. Arnold Schwarzenegger finally speaks his native German in a Hollywood film in long, deranged rant, and tracks down the biggest gun available.
A few one-liners and catch-phrases — "You hit like a vegetarian!" — and there you have it, Stallone or Schwarzenegger in their heyday, in a nutshell.
Stallone plays Ray Breslin. "I break out of prisons for a living."
He literally wrote the book on how security is compromised in maximum security prisons, and he co-owns a security company. He's inserted into prisons, which he then breaks out of so that he can then teach the feds how to make their prisons more escape-proof.
His new challenge is a super-secure "secret" prison set up for the C.I.A. and run by private contractors. It's a place for terrorists and their ilk, people who need to disappear. Ray goes in, but his team (Amy Ryan, 50 Cent) have their safeguards in place.
Only they're foiled. There's no tracking Ray, no telling where he's been taken to and no way of explaining who he is so that he can get out.
In the cavernous new prison, there's no sunlight. Cells are all glass, the guards wear black storm-trooper suits and sci-fi face masks. Solitary confinement is a cell with blinding high-intensity lights. And the warden (Jim Caviezel) is a fastidious fussbudget who collects butterflies, constantly checks his suit and tie and has just a hint of sadism about him.
"You're here, now. And you belong to me."
Director Mikael Hafstrom ("1408," "Derailed") is at his best studying his stars and their surroundings in extreme close-ups. We catch the details Ray does, only to figure out later what those details mean to him. The action arc here is predictable. But the standard prison-issue fights in the "yard" (indoors) or mess hall are handled well.
The bonding scenes between Ray and the big, friendly Teutonic terror Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger) are clumsily written but have their amusing moments. And the escape plans have a pleasant dose of "MacGyver" about them.
Villains are a tad too obvious and the finale you can see coming from miles off.
So yeah, it's undemanding. But the tempered violence, the nature of the villains, the easy bonhomie of our leads and a cast peppered with great supporting players make "Escape Plan" go down easier than the other "Rambo"/"The Last Stand"/"Expendables" pictures that brought these two aged action stars back from the dead. (R, 116 minutes)
— Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune
Brian De Palma's "Carrie" became so iconic that it remains fresh and vital 37 years later — practically an eternity in Hollywood time — and casts an imposing shadow over the new version by director Kimberly Peirce ("Stop-Loss"). Instead of trying to outdo the grandness of the original, Peirce takes a more grounded approach, treating the characters of Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her religious-fanatic mother Margaret (Julianne Moore) with more emotional gravity and empathy.
Although the beautiful Moretz looks nothing like the girl King described in his book, the actress invests the character with a fragile vulnerability that runs deeper than her unkempt hair and shabby clothes. She looks like she wishes she could shrink away into herself and disappear. When she gets her first period while taking a shower at school after P.E. class, she howls with terror and panic — she doesn't understand what's happening to her — and the other girls in the locker room descend on her like a mob, mocking and taunting and taking delight in her hysteria.
But menstruation also awakens something in Carrie — the ability to move objects with her mind. The power emboldens the timid girl, even though she must keep it hidden from her mom, who would undoubtedly consider telekinesis the devil's work. Moore plays Carrie's monstrous mama as a tragic figure, a sheltered and awkward woman who is as confused and befuddled as her daughter. Margaret is constantly cutting and scratching herself — flagellation as a form of worship — and although her parenting skills are misguided to the point of abuse, Moore makes us understand why she does the things she does. The world betrayed her, and she's not going to let the same thing happen to Carrie.

LLUH, in partnership with Community Clinic Association of San Bernardino County, is one of 48 lead organizations that received grant awards from Covered California to help residents access affordable health coverage.
Loma Linda, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Representatives of community groups working to enroll more San Bernardino County residents for affordable health insurance through Covered California kicked off their first regional meeting on Wednesday (Feb. 12) at Loma Linda University Health (LLUH).
About 40 people, representing dozens of community groups, stakeholders, health organizations, elected officials, and local health officials, took part in the gathering, hosted by LLUH.
One of the objectives of the regional meeting is to focus on increasing partnerships and collaboration within the region, and to share lessons learned from the first weeks of enrollment, said Edith Lara-Trad, information officer at Covered California, and the regional coordinator for the effort.
It is about the people who are in dire need of health coverage. We have 47 days to continue mobilizing our efforts and enroll them now. One focus is to use in-person assistance to maximize enrollment, she said.
LLUH, in partnership with Community Clinic Association of San Bernardino County, is one of 48 lead organizations that received grant awards totaling $37 million from Covered California to help residents access affordable health coverage. Covered California is the states new health care insurance marketplace responsible for reaching out to 5.3 million Californians in need of individual insurance, many of whom may be eligible for financial assistance with the premiums.
LLUH wants to ensure the residents of the Inland Empire are informed regarding the historic changes in our health care system and we are getting our residents the coverage they need to improve and maintain their health, said Gerald Winslow, Ph.D., vice president for mission and culture at LLUH, and director of the Institute for Health Policy and Leadership, the organizational entity responsible for administering the grant.
The regional meeting provided opportunities for grantees, certified counselors, providers, community and health agencies, and elected officials to mingle and work in partnerships in existing enrollment events. Covered California partners and the health community have played an integral role to accomplish enrollment to many people thus far and Covered California is providing specific support to the community and partners to drive the regional effort.
Lara-Trad said the challenge is to encourage more people to enroll by March 31, which is the deadline for open enrollment and for obtaining premium assistance and guaranteed health coverage. She said, We are focusing on key gaps. Latinos, African Americans, and other under-represented communities and young adults are especially targeted for enrollment. More information is available at http://www.CoveredCA.com.
Rosie Salazar, Covered California certified counselor at Inland Behavioral Health Services, attended the event because she wanted to expand her network and get ideas for getting more people to sign up for health insurance.
We are in a community where we deal with many homeless and low-income people, she said. We do not want them to be left out of affordable health care.

About Covered California
Covered California is the states marketplace for the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Covered California, in partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services, was charged with creating a new health insurance marketplace in which individuals and small businesses can get access to affordable health insurance plans. With coverage starting in 2014, Covered California helps individuals determine whether they are eligible for premium assistance that is available on a sliding-scale basis to reduce insurance costs or whether they are eligible for low-cost or no-cost Medi-Cal. Consumers can then compare health insurance plans and choose the plan that works best for their health needs and budget. Small businesses can purchase competitively priced health insurance plans and offer their employees the ability to choose from an array of plans and may qualify for federal tax credits. Covered California is an independent part of the state government whose job is to make the new market work for Californias consumers. It is overseen by a five-member board appointed by the Governor and the Legislature. For more information on Covered California, please visit http://www.CoveredCA.com.

Our AITP Membership Reactivation Campaign which began April 15th is starting to bring in results after a slow start. Through our Marketing firm AssociaDirect, we emailed over 3,000 former Professional members inviting them to rejoin AITP and their Chapter. We are focusing our efforts on former Professional members who have dropped their membership between 12 and 36 months ago. Our invitation encourages them to call AITP HQ where our HQ staff will ensure that we have their correct contact information and that they reinstate with their correct Chapter.
Our emailing phase ran for 3 weeks in small batches. We are currently following up with our emails with two separate mailed invitations and two subsequent follow-up emails. Over the next several months, we will reach as many of these former members as possible about AITP and their Chapter.
We plan on shortly providing Chapters with a list of their re-activated members, as well as an update on members joining AITP through our unemployed membership initiative, Student to Professional membership and our Student chapter faculty memberships.
AITP developed a document outlining some of the benefits of AITP membership that our HQ staff and leadership are using when speaking with our expired members. Perhaps you will find these talking points helpful in your own chapters! See: http://www.aitp.org/resource/resmgr/Chapter_Documents/AITP-Talking-Pts-2012-11-12.pdf.
We hope that you will help us in welcoming back our expired members to AITP membership!

I do... for now. UK Muslims revive temporary marriages
May 13, 2013 03:50 PM »
Ummm for real??!
What else are they going to do? They can't just have a cold shower because it doesn't work and otherwise they just end up doing the haram thing and having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Many people won't talk about it though, because it is still a taboo subject," he added.
"There is no difference between mut'ah marriage and prostitution. There is a time limit on the marriage, and the mahr given as a gift [from the man to the woman] is the equivalent as a payment to a prostitute," she added.
I do... for now. UK Muslims revive temporary marriages
BBC Asian Network
The temporary marriage, or nikah mut'ah, is an ancient Islamic practice that unites man and woman as husband and wife for a limited time. Historically it was used so that a man could have a wife for a short while when travelling long distances. So why are young British Muslims adopting the practice now?
"It allowed us to meet without breaking the bounds of Sharia [Islamic law]. We both wanted to date, to go out for dinner or go shopping and just get to know each other better before getting married, which we wouldn't have been able to do otherwise," says Sara.
She is a 30-year-old pharmacist from Birmingham, a Shia Muslim of Pakistani heritage.
'It's basically a contract'
Sara was temporarily married for six months before committing to a full marriage to her partner.
"It's basically a contract. You sit down and stipulate your conditions - for a girl who hasn't been previously married, you do need the father's permission," she said.
"We stipulated the duration, my father's conditions, and I requested what you would call a dowry where the guy gives a gift to the girl. It's simple, straightforward and doesn't take long at all," Sara added.
She is one of a significant number of young British Muslims using a temporary marriage as a way of balancing their religious beliefs with their modern Western lifestyle.
Because of the informal nature of the union there are no official statistics to show how many temporary marriages there are in the UK. But a number of senior Shia Muslim scholars and Muslim student organisations told BBC Asian Network there is something of a revival.
'Taboo subject'
There is a sectarian divide among Muslims on temporary marriage. The mut'ah is practised by Shia Muslims while Sunni Muslims generally consider it haram - forbidden.
The mut'ah is particularly popular on university campuses and, according to Omar Farooq Khan, president of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Society at Bradford University, the practice is on the increase among Shia students.
"Definitely nikah mut'ah is on the rise now due to students becoming more aware about it. Students are educated people so obviously they look around for a solution to their problems from an Islamic perspective," said Mr Khan.
"What else are they going to do? They can't just have a cold shower because it doesn't work and otherwise they just end up doing the haram thing and having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Many people won't talk about it though, because it is still a taboo subject," he added.
'Strictly not allowed'
Khola Hassan, a Sunni Muslim and spokesperson for the UK Islamic Sharia Council, says the practice is strictly not allowed. She says it is equal to prostitution because of the time limit applied to the union.
"I have never come across a Sunni scholar, throughout history, who declares mut'ah marriage to be halal," said Mrs Hassan.
"There is no difference between mut'ah marriage and prostitution. There is a time limit on the marriage, and the mahr given as a gift [from the man to the woman] is the equivalent as a payment to a prostitute," she added.
The nikah mut'ah consists of a verbal or written contract in which both parties agree the length of time and conditions for the marriage.
The union can last for a few hours, days, months or years and when the contract ends so does the marriage.
It can include stipulations such as "no physical contact" - or "no funny business", as one parent put it - and the procedure is completed with the mahr.
Sayyad Fadhil Milani, spiritual leader at the Al-Khoei Centre in Brent, north-west London, is widely regarded as the UK's most senior Shia Islamic scholar and has written about the mut'ah marriage in his book Islamic Family Law.
Sectarian divide
"At the time of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it was practised widely, especially when men were travelling away from home on business or at war," he said.
Ayatollah Milani said: "Islam does not permit relationships like those between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. So a nikah mut'ah gives them an opportunity to get to know each other before committing themselves to a full marriage."
He admits there is a sectarian divide over the issue: "Umar [ibn al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam], himself said that the mut'ah was lawful at the time of the Prophet but he banned it and said he would punish everyone who does it.
"So some Muslims [in this case Sunni Muslims] are against it because they follow the interpretation and the suggestion made by the second Caliph. The Shias say that we stick to the Koran and the practices of the Prophet."
Although nikah mut'ah is a Shia concept, other types of informal marriages are practised by Sunni Muslims, such as misyar and urfi.
Misyar allows a couple to live separately through mutual agreement while urfi is done without the public approval of the bride's guardians. Neither of these, however, has time limits as with nikah mut'ah.
Way of legitimising sex
Critics of these informal marriages, both Sunni and Shia, argue they allow a person to have multiple sexual partners and are used as an "Islamic cover" for prostitution or the exploitation of women, with men taking on multiple "wives" for a number of hours.
In these circumstances many of the formalities and parental permissions are dispensed with for the temporary marriage agreement.
BBC Asian Network heard numerous cases of it being used simply as a way of religiously legitimising sex.
Omar Ali Grant, a convert to Shia Islam, from London, has had around 13 temporary marriages but argues that he was just trying to find the right person to spend his life with. He conceded they could be used as a cover for premarital sex.
But he said: "Sex is not haram per se. In Islam sex doesn't have negative connotations; it is not impure and is not dirty.
"What Islam is saying is sex has to be between consenting adults who are also responsible. Very often it is said that temporary marriage may amount to some prostitution, but it is not that. Prostitution does occur in certain areas of Muslim society, but then again prostitution happens everywhere," said Mr Grant.

Reading such stories day in and day out is discouraging.There seems to be no value for relationships these days.
It's almost making me lose trust in the institution of marriage.
And to top it all people have been using the name of Islam in ways that please them,leaving the essential principles.There are arguments and counter arguments with so called different scholars.
May Allah forgive me.Allah knows what lies in people's hearts.
But I think people should concentrate on imbibing basic human etiquette that our religion teaches than justifying their inappropriate animal like instinctive behaviours in the guise of religion.
You need to marry temporarily to roam around,shop and check each other out?Really?
Why give such lame excuses when you are neither fighting your life out in the battle field for religion nor working hard traveling long distances to earn.
Do people want to follow what our Prophet (p.b.u.h) did in his time? So why not wear simple two piece clothes,eat handful of grain,couple of dates or sometimes nothing at all,eat in earthenware etc.?Why this selective practice of religion?

Wasn't mutah prohibited during the lifetime of the prophet (saw), didn't he himself forbid the practice at the battle of khaibar when his men asked permission?
Mutah opens up avenues for abuse.
And the dude who said the alternative is to take cold showers is rather a strange person, do people have no control over themselves, are these people all controlled by their base desires like animals?
But it's well known Shias practice temporary marriage, this isn't new.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

Not that I'm defending this, but as we all know, even proper Nikaah can be used for abuse...or those who take a second wife, which is even common here in the States from what I've heard. Yes, as Sr. Fozia said, Shias have practiced this...and from the Wiki article on the topic, Shia scholars are quoted as saying that any hadith that goes against Qur'an, is discarded and that it was only banned by Hz. Umar (and thus disregarded).....but as Sr. Fozia mentioned:
"O people, I had permitted you Mutah before, [but now] whoever of you has any part in it currently must part with her, and do not take back anything which you may have given them, as Allah Exalted and Majestic has forbidden it until the day of resurrection." [Muslim, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Nasa`i, and Darimi]
Ali (رضّى الله عنه) said:
"The Messenger of Allah had forbidden Mutah on the day of Khaybar and had forbidden the eating of the meat of domestic camels." [Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizy, Ibn Majah, Nasa`i, Tahawy, Shafi'i, Bayhaqy, and Hazimy]
If the above is accurate...Hz Ali himself, of all Sahabah, endorsed that the Prophet banned it, not (only) Hz. Umar.
If anyone has more info, please do post.

The fact that plural marriages are open to abuse is the only reason why I think consquent wives should only marry men in countries which legally recognise their marital status.
The only reason I had a fighting chance is because alhumdulillah my marriage was recognised legally.
Women living in non legally recognised unions are leaving themselves wide open to all sorts of misery if the relationship goes south, or if their partner dies.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

I just downloaded the Trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and when I import a clip, i'm not getting any audio, not even anything showing up in the 'Audio Master Meter'
I do get audio when I import a .mp3 file
HELP pleeease, this is very irritating!
Can you share the specs. of those Imported Clips, and especially the Audio CODEC inside?
Now, there is a common reason for Audio to either not show up, or perhaps be truncated - failure to complete Conforming. This ARTICLE goes into more detail. As PrPro edits/plays back from the Conformed Audio files (CFA's), the Conforming process is very important.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,

ATHENS, Greece -- German leader Angela Merkel arrived amid draconian security measures and a mass protest in Athens Tuesday for her first visit to Greece since the eurozone crisis began there three years ago. Her five-hour stop is seen by the Greek government as a much-needed boost for the country's future in Europe - but protesters view it as a harbinger of further austerity and hardship.
A few dozen protesters broke away from the peaceful rally and threw rocks and flares at riot police, who responded with pepper spray and stun grenades, in clashes that remain relatively minor.
More than 7,000 police were on hand in Athens, cordoning off parks and other sections of city to keep demonstrators away from the German leader, who will hold talks with conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.
As a helicopter buzzed overhead, thousands of protesters, chanting "History is written by the disobedient" gathered in front of Greek parliament. One group of demonstrators burned a Swastika and threw it onto a police barrier.
"I have no doubt that (Merkel) has good intentions, and wants to help, but that won't solve Europe's problem," retired teacher Irini Kourdaki said.
Merkel will meet with Samaras and was also due to hold talks with President Karolos Papoulias before flying back out of the country.
At least 40 people were detained for questioning as police, even in unrestricted areas, stopped and searched pedestrians. Stiff security measures include a ban on public gatherings outside the German Embassy and other parts of central Athens as well as within 330 feet of her motorcade route from the airport.
The demonstrators included a group of special forces reservists, in uniform, who chanted "Merkel out of Greece" in time to their march.
"All the Greek people must rally together to rid the country of all those who oppress and humiliate us," Navy Seal reservist Giorgos Drakopoulos said.
Many of Europe's leading politicians have avoided official travel to Greece and the risk of a hostile reception, as the debt-saddled country struggled to keep up with commitments needed to guarantee rescue loan payments and long-term euro membership.

Health & Safety: have called them to walk me to car-prompt
Health & Safety: The heath services here is very basic. If you are very sick, you should seek help at the urgent care instead. Safe Ride is a service provided to students to get around campus safely, however they are very bad at answering the phone.
Health & Safety: this is a pretty safe campus. you don't hear many bad things going on around here
Health & Safety: I personally have not seen security often enough to make a mental note about it. During game days they are all around campus- but during the week, I feel the campus is open yet safe enough for me to walk anywhere. There are Appalachian State issued vehicles that drive around most of the parking lots during the night hours. And access into any dorm building requires a card, assigned to each individual student. There are also Emergency polls places around campus, so if there ever was an emergency, you could get help. The police are not overbearing, but because the campus is so mountain-esque, many crimes go un-reported to unnoticed. Our campus is not sprawling, and for the most part it is pretty contained, which could lead some students to believe police are everywhere-but I've never had a problem with feeling secure!
Health & Safety: We have a service call safe-ride and it is the best thing this campus has. You call and tell them where you are on campus and where you want to go on campus and they will be there to get you. Great system for girls at night. Drivers are super friendly and all around I praise them. We also have this thing for weekends and they are called, Beepers. You call them and they will take you anywhere you want to go for two dollar. They are students and it is a student organized thing that promotes safe drinking and not driving while under the influence.
