Does the President really want a second term? One would think that if Barack Obama truly wanted to be reelected he would've created a record to run on; rather than a record to run from.
After four years of his Presidency two things have come into fruition. The President never really had any intentions of delivering on his campaign promises. And the other is that the hope and change that Barack Obama promised us is not the hope and change that we've received.
When President Obama won the Presidency four years ago he did it with a wide and diverse coalition of voters. He won about 43% of the White vote, over 95% of the Black vote, and 78% of the Jewish vote. Those are some very impressive numbers.
Additionally, he overwhelmingly won the youth vote, independents, undecided voters, and the Hispanic vote by large margins. Barack Obama ran as a new kind of Democrat. He portrayed himself as a champion of the middle class and ran on a moderate platform. The American people saw Obama's hope and change message as a positive new direction and believed him when he said there were no blue states or red states.
Now let's fast forward to 2012.
The President has spent all of his political capitol and has nothing to show for it but a lousy healthcare bill that most people don't want and even less people understand. He has no record to run on and his hope and change message has fallen on deaf ears. The President has spent the last four years dividing the country and creating a potentially dangerous level of class warfare. The President's strategy for winning reelection is an unorthodox one at best and leaves very little room for error.
According to the National Journal's Ronald Brownstein Obama can not win reelection without at least 40% of White voters. Recent polls have shown the President winning between 33% and 36% of White voters. Moreover, the President needs to win 80% of all minorities in order to squeak out a razor thin victory. He is currently winning a little less than 80% of these voters.
So the President that ran on the premise of hope and change has decided to roll the dice and run on divide and conquer instead. He is hoping that a blatantly biased media will forever cover up his numerous shortcomings and Chicago style tactics will scare voters away from voting for Mitt Romney. Rarely in politics is a completely negative message a winning formula. The President will need the same type of enthusiasm he had in 2008 from all his core groups to pull it off. This will be no easy task as most polls show that Republicans are winning in the motivation department. Many of the President's decisions in his first term have alienated small portions of his vitally important base.
For instance, his decision to support same sex marriage has bewildered many Black Pastors across the country. A group of about 300 African American Pastors have become so disenchanted with the President's decision that they are telling others in the Black Community to sit this one out. Add to this an unemployment rate of 15% and you will see a significant drop off in Black support. I believe the turn out level will go back down to 11% from 13% and the President will only receive between 85% to 92 % of the Black Vote.
The President's failure to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons and the out right hostility and disrespect he has shown to Israeli Leader Benjamin Netanyahu will also take its toll with Jewish voters. Right now most polls show that the President is still comfortably ahead with these voters however his level of support has dropped. In 2008 Barack Obama received an incredible 78% of the Jewish vote despite his Pastor Reverend Wright's anti-Semitic rhetoric towards Israel. Most polls show the President is now receiving about 68% to 70% of the Jewish vote. I believe that this number will fall to 60% to 65% by Election Day.
Another group in which the President is finding more elusive this time is Catholic voters. In 2008 Barack Obama received 54% of the Catholic vote. However with his contraception mandate, his removal of God from the party platform, and his radical pro-abortion stances, the President is hemorrhaging votes among this group.
According to the American Bishops Official Directory there are 78 million Catholic voters in this country and 16 million of those voters happen to live in the swing states. According to a 2012 poll from the American Life League Barack Obama is only supported by 27% of Catholic voters. This is a substantial decrease in his support among this group.
Other potential roadblocks for the President are as stated previously an unenthusiastic youth, a deficit with independent voters, and the fact that historically undecided voters break in favor of the challenger late in close elections.
Is this race as close as the media says it is? Does the President already know something from his internal polling that members of the media either don't know or are resolute to ignore? Am I the only person in the media who feels that President Obama really does not want to win a second term?
Sounds crazy doesn't it?
According to Kevin Dujan editor of HillBuzz.org and Jerome Corsi of World Net Daily Barack Obama's chief financier Penny Pritzker is negotiating the purchase of a 35 million dollar ocean front estate on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/secret-retirement-plans-does-obama-expect-to-…
The interesting part is not that the Obama's are buying a house in Hawaii; the peculiar part is their expected move in date. According to the story their move in date is slated for January of 2013. If the President really wanted to get reelected why would he be trying to buy a house in Hawaii with a move in date of January 2013?
According to World Net Daily's sources highly confidential internal polling conducted by the Obama Campaign reveal that he can't win reelection despite public surveys that point to the contrary. "The public polls are mostly political." the source said. Obama supporters in the media want Romney supporters to feel discouraged and therefore give up. The truth is Romney is winning and the President and First Lady both know this.
The bottom line is this. If the President really wanted to win he would have met with Netanyahu instead of with the ladies on The View. If the President really wanted to win he would have tried to improve the economy instead of trying to destroy it. If the President really wanted to win he would have attended his intelligence briefings instead of skipping them.
While most of the media is talking about how Obama wants to win I actually think just the opposite. I might be one of the only people in the media bold enough to write this. As a Political Strategist I see his positions as inferior to the majority of the electorate. Almost all of the President's decisions have been controversial and left of center. If the President really wanted to win a second term he would've done what Bill Clinton did; which is move to the center.
In last Wednesday's debate the President did nothing but validate my feelings. The President looked like a shell of his former self. He had a look on his face like he truly did not want to be there. His body language portrayed a man with uncertainty and reservation. His lack of eye contact with Mitt Romney was very revealing. His answers were meandering and choppy and you could tell he was just going through the motions.
Mitt Romney on the other hand was the complete opposite. Mitt Romney was first and foremost Presidential. He was extremely articulate, very knowledgeable of the facts, and came off to most Americans including many liberals as very likeable. Mitt Romney also showed compassion and confidence and at one pointed even blurted out how much fun he was having.
The Obama Campaign spent millions of dollars trying to paint Romney as an out of touch vulture capitalist who couldn't wait to throw grandma off the cliff; but the American people saw something different. They saw an extremely capable and viable alternative to Barack Obama. It took only 90 minutes for America to get a glimpse of what a President Romney would look like; and the consensus was that they liked what they saw.
An estimated 67 million people tuned into Wednesday's debate for one simple reason. They had major reservations about reelecting President Obama but they were unsure whether or not Mitt Romney was a better choice. Judging by the post debate CNN poll Mitt Romney successfully answered that question.
With over 23 million Americans out of work and chronically high unemployment rates the country is suffering. Devoid of any real leadership many people are tired of the Presidents empty speeches. They are looking for something different. They are looking for another chance at the American Dream.
The contrast between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney could not have been any clearer. Mitt Romney was able to not only defend himself from Obama's deceptive attacks; but he was also able to compare and contrast conservative principles to that of Obama's class warfare collectivism. The fact of the matter is that if the American people have an unfiltered choice between conservatism and collectivism they will always choose conservatism.
There is no doubt that Mitt Romney's excellent debate performance moved the needle more in his direction. It is already noticeable in some of the recent polling. There were probably many voters who were truly undecided that Mitt Romney now has moved into his column; but frankly these voters could switch back and forth before the election.
The next debate will play another important role in solidifying those voters who have recently warmed to Mitt Romney. The Vice Presidential debate is an opportunity to show voters that Paul Ryan would make an excellent second in command if anything should happen to Mitt Romney. He is a very intelligent and capable person with a depth of knowledge on a host of issues, especially economic issues. Vice President Joe Biden is also a smart politician but he is known more for his tongue in cheek or rather foot in mouth comments than his political acumen. Most pundits think the Vice President may have a leg up because of his perceived foreign policy experience. They will be very surprised to find out that Paul Ryan is no slouch in this department either.
After the Vice Presidential debate is over there will be two more Presidential debates. Barring any major gaffe on Romney's part or an unforeseen "October Surprise" Mitt Romney should start to pull away a few days after the last debate. Will the President squeak out a slim victory? Or will Mitt Romney's positive message resonate with a large majority of the country? I believe America is ready for change and a real recovery, and secretly the President is too.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Let's hope the governor's schmoozing in Switzerland pays offBy SCOTT SUTTELL 11:31 am, January 18, 2013
Running a bit behind today, so this will be quick: Bloomberg takes a look at what states have to gain when their governors — including Ohio's John Kasich — attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which runs Jan. 23-27. "While critics say jetting to the Swiss Alps to schmooze is a waste of time and resources, Kasich and other officials say it offers an unparalleled opportunity for networking that can lead to new business investment," according to Bloomberg. "It's also a chance to leave behind balancing budgets, fixing roads and other nuts-and-bolts work. Instead, they can discuss such topics as 'unleashing entrepreneurial innovations' and sell the virtues of their states." Gov. Kasich is participating in four panels at Davos, including one on manufacturing where "he will discuss his efforts to align education and training with available jobs," Bloomberg notes. "He said he also wants to meet privately with Japanese executives and other leaders to win more jobs for Ohio." Ned Hill, an economist and dean of the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University, tells Bloomberg that a trip to Davos can be successful if a governor has an outgoing sales personality. "The important things don't take place on the stage," Dr. Hill says. "It all takes place in the cocktail parties." Troubles at the largest lenders "have helped push some customers to major regional players," including PNC Financial Services and Fifth Third Bancorp, both of which are big in the Northeast Ohio market. Glenn Gable, who runs Freeway Lanes Bowling Group, a chain of bowling alleys in the Cleveland area, tells The Journal that he tried to get loans from larger banks but was turned away. "They weren't interested in lending to someone in the bowling industry," he says. Instead, the newspaper reports, Mr. Gable turned to Fifth Third, which gave him a $7 million credit line. "A regional bank doesn't just write you off," he says. "They spend time getting to know you and your business and looking at your track record," he said. "Real Time" is way more fun than the stuffy Sunday morning shows — there are jokes, and the panelists are allowed to swear. Components include job, wage-and-salary, and technology growth. In most years, the institute says, "these give a good indication of the underlying structural performance of regional economics." The rankings look at 200 cities. Canton is northern Ohio's best performer, and it's at No. 149. Youngstown is at No. 158, followed by Akron (No. 172), Cleveland (No. 177) and Toledo (No. 180). Columbus is tops in Ohio, at No. 53. Cincinnati is No. 89, and Dayton is No. 117. The Medina Gazette reports that an historic movie theater at 139 W. Liberty St. in Medina, formerly the Rock Theater and before that the Rose, "is back in business with a new name and movies on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons." Dan Andrews, executive director of the nonprofit Medina Community Theater, and his wife, Katharine, have been organizing the remodeling of the 196-seat theater, with the aim of "making this a venue for performing arts and movies," according to the story. He's making tickets affordable, at $3. Sundays feature "faith-based" films that are free of charge. The paper says $60,000 in upgrades at the theater — paid for by donations, a loan through the nonprofit and proceeds from ticket sales and concessions — include a digital projector, sound system and improved plumbing. A new marquee for the building and fabric for the walls are coming soon, Mr. Andrews says. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.

Chief Khan's behavior is similar to that of manager's that are very insecure in both their ability to lead and manage. Behaviors such as making major changes immediately upon taking responsibility...of an organization that by all estimates was not just good but exemplary. These included staffing changes which under a new leader is natural but they usually only include direct reports and personal assistants. They rarely include trainers (Brunacini's sons John & Nick) or vehicle repair staff (Brunacini's best friend Hoot Gibson). Finally, a third strike against Chief Khan in my eyes are these seeming sweetheart deals to friends and advisers (Mr. Compton, Mr. Compton's assistant, and potentially Mr. Cantelme if talked about ambulance services get changed). While these are alleged to be legal(though without Ass.t Manager Washington's input are unable to be corroborated) the best leaders go out of their way to avoid all appearances of impropriety.
These facts while not necessarily indicative of Mr. Khan's leadership of the Phoenix Fire Department are frequently indicative of an insecure leader. A leader who needs to make wholesale changes and court favor from others who more often support to disguise their currying favor. All to shore-up a weak ego, weak management skills, or more likely lack of confidence in one's ability to lead.
It is unfortunate and saddening that what Chief Brunacini and the firefighters of the Phoenix Fire Department built over decades was so quickly dismantled. I feel what's sadder still is the relationship that the Brunacinis'; Mom, Bruno, John and Nick built with Bob Khan over decades was just as quickly dismantled.

Rangers continue Wild Card push behind Holland
Texas is one game back of Tribe, Rays; Richards starts for Angels
The postseason doesn't start for a few more days, but if the Rangers are going to be involved, they will need a postseason approach this weekend.
The Rangers have been playing good baseball recently, but every game is a must-win, so while the recent wins have been fun, there is no mistaking the pressure. Texas trails both the Indians and Rays by one game for a Wild Card spot.
"It definitely has been fun, these games are huge," said Derek Holland, who will start for Texas on Saturday. "We've got to stay focused and bear down. When I get the opportunity, I have to do my job and do whatever I can to help my team out. It's the same game, whether it's the first game of the season or the one that puts us in the playoffs. It's the same game between the lines. I have to go out and do my job."
Holland, who has allowed just two runs in his last 15 innings, will get the chance to do his job on Saturday morning against the Angels.
Because of weather concerns, Saturday's game was moved up to 11:05 a.m. CT, but Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher doesn't expect the early start to have a tremendous impact on starter Garrett Richards.
"Welcome to the world of adaptation," Butcher said. "The day before, or his regular routine, everything is consistent with what he did in between starts. The only difference is he's going to have to wake up a little bit earlier and pitch. It's really not that much different than pitching in a Spring Training game as far as time goes. We've had day games before."
Richards went back to the Angels' team hotel early on Friday to rest, but come Saturday, the right-hander's focus will be on finishing the season strong.
Richards struggled in his last start, but he has pitched well overall since he rejoined the rotation.
Rangers: Washington expects Twins and Blue Jays to compete
If the Rangers are going to get into the playoffs, not only will they have to do their part, but they will need a little help from the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins.
The Twins have two games remaining against the Indians, and the Blue Jays have a pair of games against the Rays.
Although neither the Twins nor Blue Jays are playing for anything other than pride, Rangers manager Ron Washington does not expect them to roll over this weekend.
"I can tell you with Ron Gardenhire as manager of the Minnesota Twins, that answers that question," Washington said. "With John Gibbons as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, that answers that questions. They are pros. That's just professionalism. That's all that is. You can't describe it any way else. No matter who you play or where you play, you want to win."
Angels: Trumbo may be key to Angels' offseason
The Angels have a strong desire to acquire cost-controlled starting pitching over the offseason, and they will likely need to trade someone to do so.
The Angels' farm system lacks a lot of desirable prospects and the payroll is too high to sign a big-time free agent.
While several players may be on the market, Mark Trumbo could be the one who has the most value to other clubs.
"I think I've been included in trade talks for a while now," Trumbo said. "You're always going to spend some time mulling over it. You can say that you don't care about it, but if it's a possibility, then it's a possibility. Maybe when you're a little younger you might get more worked up over something like that. But I'm going on 28 now, I've played for a few years now, and I don't think I'd fear change as much now as I would've when I was younger."
Worth noting
• The Rangers have won seven of their last nine games.

Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow Saddle
? Share a...
Marla Bailey
Sit down and Ride!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Loving my saddle . It does have a slight raised rear, not seeming to be a problem for me. I love the white. Feminine fit is great. I am usually in the saddle for quite sometime, and this seat has made it easy for me :0), meet my little friend in the photo hehe
Almost comfortable
Love the wide rear to support sitting bones. However, the mid- nose was too wide for me and resulted in pain/pressure. Also, this is not a flat saddle- it has a raised rear. Look for side photos on other websites to get a real idea of the profile. Not the saddle for me, but I hear other women do like it.

Prescription drug ODs outnumber alcohol-related ones in Plumas County
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
If you asked a group of your average Plumas residents what the largest cause of intoxication-related deaths in the county has been this year, excluding suicide, most people would probably guess it was DUI crashes involving alcohol.
If you gave them a hint and said it actually involved drugs they might guess that meth-related incidents would be the answer because methamphetamine is considered by many to be the largest hard-drug problem in the county and country.
According to county law enforcement, they would be wrong.
Six people have died in this county this year from accidental prescription-drug overdoses, although some of them did involve alcohol as well, but not nearly enough to be lethal on its own.
That's one more death than from all alcohol-related incidental deaths combined.
This fact, coupled with other information, has led Plumas County Sheriff's Office Investigations Sergeant Steve Peay to believe unauthorized prescription drugs represent the largest percentage of abusive drug use in the U.S. when compared to traditional hard drugs like meth or cocaine.
He added, "There's just no statistics because it's so legal to possess."
Undersheriff Greg Hagwood commented pharmacists he talked to were shocked by the amounts of medications being prescribed in such a small county.
Peay explained that methadone, a synthetic opiate painkiller, was the biggest single prescription drug problem in the county right now, followed by oxycodone.
Hagwood added methadone was particularly dangerous because it was addictive, caused an intoxicating high that made it appealing, and mixed dangerously with illegal drugs, alcohol or other medications.
He emphasized the "alcohol and methadone combination has proven to be lethal in a number of these instances."
The Quincy California Highway Patrol office has also noticed a sharp increase in dangerous prescription drug use, with 24 DUI arrests related to the problem in 2009.
Quincy Area CHP Commander Paul Davis explained that number didn't include incidents in which people were arrested with prescription drugs and over a .08 blood alcohol level as those were counted as alcohol DUIs.
Davis said it was the biggest year for prescription drug DUI arrests that he was aware of in the county's history.
Hagwood said the problem was frustrating in part because it didn't get as much attention from the public as other intoxication issues had in the past.
"I've been very troubled by the number of fatalities that we've had because if we were having the same number of fatalities due to drunken driving I think you'd see a pretty strong outcry."
Both Davis and Hagwood said they thought most people's problems with prescription drugs began innocuously and the victims were in no way bad people.
In fact the victims don't seem to fit into any of the traditional stereotypes of people affected most by drugs.
The average age of the victims is 39 years old and most of them seemed to have children and families, and none of the deaths occurred in a party atmosphere.
The victims weren't out-of-control youth looking for a thrill or loners nursing a habit in isolation.
Addressing that fact, Hagwood said he didn't think "pharm parties," where people grab random drugs from a bowl, were nearly as prevalent as they were portrayed to be in the media, and the public tended to grasp on to sensational aspects when first becoming aware of a problem.
Peay said he didn't think prescription meds had reached the same level of popularity among youth as alcohol and marijuana but was still more in the hard drug category as opposed to youth party substance in general.
Hagwood and Peay said the problem was particularly disturbing because it wasn't as simple as the traditionally accepted DARE narrative of drug use where stupid people and out-of-control maniacs seek out completely destructive substances and uncaringly consume them.
They argued that the people who shared or sold their prescription medications and the people accepting them didn't think of themselves as being involved in a problem in anyway associated with the risks of the hard drug trade.
"I don't think generally the communities look at people that sell prescription medication in the same light that they look at people dealing methamphetamine, and generally a lot of the people that will divert their prescription medication would probably never dream of dealing methamphetamine," Hagwood said.
The PCSO officers also indicated the issue was hard for law enforcement to address because conviction of a dealer requires a witness.
With a drug like methamphetamine a suspect just has to have a certain amount of the drug or other indications he's selling it to be charged as a dealer.
With prescription drugs it isn't that easy because all the drugs are accounted for with legal prescriptions, so law enforcement has to be able to prove an individual illegal sale occurred.
This doesn't stop the sheriff's office from spending a lot of time on the issue, although much of it is spent fruitlessly in investigations of allegedly stolen medications.
Hagwood explained, "Some of the thefts and burglaries are probably legitimate where people are breaking into homes and stealing these narcotic pain medications, and probably an equal if not greater number of these reports are probably people who are selling their prescription medication.
"They run through their supply; in order to get a new supply ahead of schedule, they have to report it was stolen."
The worst cases of prescription drug addiction can be shocking.
Hagwood and Peay described one of the overdose cases involved a man who had previously been a productive, high-functioning member of society who ended up committing many burglaries to feed his addiction.
They said the man also cut off a finger and toe and drove a nail through his hand to get more drugs from the emergency room.
Hagwood said the problem was particularly hard for authorities to tackle because it is so varied, with painkillers, anti-anxiety meds, anti-depressants and anti-psychotics all capable of being abused.
He also said a large cause of the problem was most people didn't think taking these medications was as significant as drinking alcohol, because of the place prescription drugs occupy in our society.
"The American public is just being bombarded by the pharmaceutical industry to take a pill for any and everything that could conceivably be wrong with you and some stuff that you haven't even thought of."
Peay said most of the problems came from habitual use, but the current situation made it possible for someone to experience an accidental overdose simply by going to multiple doctors like a heart specialist, back doctor and general practitioner without telling each about the others and ending up with a lethal cocktail.
He added a diffused system of obtaining medications made this possible.
Peay gave an example: if Quincy Drug got three prescriptions that didn't work together, the pharmacist would tell the patient. But people often get drugs from different doctors and fill the prescriptions at different pharmacies.
On the solution side, both PCSO experts agreed law enforcement had a role in the issue, but would not be able to solve it.
Peay said a system called CURES, controlled substance utilization review and evaluation system, could provide the next step in combating the problem.
California Attorney General Edmund Brown began the CURES program in September.
The system allows doctors, pharmacists and law enforcement to request information about someone with a suspected prescription drug problem who has been getting medications.
The hope is the program will allow public safety figures on all sides of the problem to identify when someone is "farming doctors" or traveling from town to town getting medications.
The program is relatively new at this point to doctors and law enforcement so there has been little feedback on its effectiveness so far in Plumas County, but Peay said the department had used it multiple times.
Hagwood thought this type of program would have to be expanded in the future and become a bigger part of addressing the problem.
"I don't want the government monitoring me anymore than they already do, but to the extent that we've got such a problem with this abuse there needs to be some mechanism put in place that I think could at least bring some relief to it."
He said the other side of the problem that had to be addressed was people's misconception that prescription drugs didn't pose any of the problems of illegal drugs.
"Being strung out on methadone or hydrocodone or oxycontin will leave you in just as much a mess as being strung out on heroine, cocaine or methamphetamine," he emphasized.
Hagwood acknowledged the medical community was trying to help and many doctors were responsible and informed in their prescribing habits, but the public and other doctors still had a lot to learn.
He and Peay also agreed the lack of addiction treatment options in Plumas County made the problem even more difficult to address effectively.
Look for part two of our report on the prescription drug problem in next week's newspaper.

SMALL BUSINESS BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Washington inaction could endanger small banks' ability to lendBy SCOTT SUTTELL 4:30 am, December 6, 2012
We're all painfully aware of the approaching fiscal cliff. It turns out the country's small banks are facing a cliff of their own, The Wall Street Journal says, and the development "could pinch short-term lending rates."
It's all downhill from here: Wildwood, Mo.-based Peak Resorts Inc. has bought the Alpine Valley Ski Area in Chesterland. Mr. Sawyer, whose restaurants include The Greenhouse Tavern and Noodlecat, is among the contributors this week to a Washington Post web feature called "On Small Business," in which a panel of young entrepreneurs offers answers to questions faced by small business owners. For instance, this question asks for tips on simple, inexpensive methods that can make a workplace more employee-friendly. Here, he's asked for advice on enforcing employee hours. And in response to a query about how to help retain top talent Mr. Sawyer suggests that companies make significant investments in training, in addition to offering competitive pay and benefits. It's a long interview, focused primarily on Mr. Gilbert's business efforts in Detroit. But it has significant resonance for Cleveland, where one of Mr. Gilbert's ventures, startup accelerator Bizdom, is trying to replicate some of the success it has had in the Motor City. Quicken Loans also has become a major job generator in downtown Detroit. Here's one of Mr. Gilbert's many interesting comments: "Through Detroit Venture Partners and Rockbridge (a private equity firm) we try to tap into the operational expertise of our business. … We really try to look at it as one company, one business, one family where people can tap in and either recruit other people maybe to come over and help in or even for short periods of time. For instance, we're even going to put what we call our mousetrap. People who just process excellence, we're going to put them in the Casino in Cleveland for a period of time to help them. There's going to be two or three people go over there for 90 days just to help them set-up their process excellence."

Daryll Daley, Rated: 5
I ordered this book solely based on its title. I was very surprised at how informative and well written it book is. It revealed how Blood Stasis is so often overlooked in diagnosis, but has involvement in so many patterns. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their ability in alleviating many of their clients' complaints and conditions.

Hidden Classics
I bought this book "unseen" to assist with some coursework I was writing at the time (I'm a TCM student) and I'm generally very impressed. Gunter Neeb has had a number of books published in German and Chinese (his Chinese pseudonym is Nei Longdao) but this is, I think, the first one of his books to make it into English. Although I am eternally grateful to Messrs Maciocia, Flaws, Bensky, Wiseman et al for their pioneering work in making TCM understandable to Western students, it is always good to broaden the author base available to us for research and reference, especially with someone with as much experience as Gunter Neeb.
The book's main section analyses the causes, signs & symptoms of blood stasis and looks at TCM syndrome differentiation in such instances. It also does a pretty good job of mapping Western disease names into TCM equivalents. There are a number of case studies by way of example, which always seem slightly contrived, but are, I guess, a good way of explaining and learning.
The latter part of the book is given over to blood stasis within TCM classical texts. There is a full translation of the yilin gaicuo by Wang Qingren (which came as a very pleasant surprise to me as this fact is not really advertised and probably negates the need for my intended purchase of Bob Flaw's forthcoming version) and applicable chunks from other works (shanghan lun, jinkui yaolue...) which makes this book a very useful reference source.
On the down side, if you take out the classical texts, the book is only about 160 pages, less of a tome than I was expecting. Also, the Chinese to German to English translation does make for a few clunky sentences.
For me, this is an excellent publication, but I do have a love of the TCM classics. Those that are less enthused by such things may think it is not value for money. But it's a "thumbs up" from me! Hopefully some of Herr Neeb's German back catalogue may now follow into English.
