4. The sensing apparatus of claim 1, wherein said WFOV optical sensor head requires no power connection.
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to spacecraft attitude sensors and, more particularly, to an architecture for interfacing an attitude sensor to a processing unit.
(b) Description of Related Art
The term attitude is used to describe the orientation of an object with respect to a reference orientation. Attitude is of particular interest in satellite operations. For example, if a satellite is to be used in a communications application, it is necessary that the satellite be oriented in the proper direction to receive and/or transmit relevant information for the communication link. The attitude of a satellite is determined by computations based on the output of attitude sensors located on the satellite. Attitude sensors monitor the position of reference objects, which may include the sun, the earth, constellations, or beacons. For example, a spacecraft may have two sensors, one monitoring the sun and one monitoring the earth. It is well known that given position information from two reference objects (e.g., the sun, the earth, stars, or beacons), it is possible to determine spacecraft attitude.
Commonly, sun sensors include electronics for processing signals representative of solar position. Sun sensor electronics require power connections, telemetry and command (T&C) connections, and connections to transfer the output of the sensor electronics to the spacecraft computer. Typically, each sensor is cross-strapped to redundant spacecraft computers, power buses, and T&C subsystems. Redundant sensors are cross-strapped because of the relatively low reliability of the signal processing electronics in comparison to the other components of the sensor.
In known sensor configurations, a dedicated sensor electronics box may be disposed remote from the sun sensor head. This configuration does not simplify the interface configuration needed to link the sensor electronics box to a power supply and the telemetry system of the spacecraft. A conventional approach is to feed current signals from the sun sensor to a dedicated sensor electronics box that converts the current signals to attitude measurements which are output to the spacecraft computer as digital data. As previously mentioned, power and telemetry signals must also be fed from the spacecraft to the dedicated sensor electronics.
In order to eliminate the need for sensor electronics altogether, some known sun sensor configurations process sensor output signals within the spacecraft computer. However, these configurations still rely on conventional sensor readings which tend to limit overall system precision and accuracy.
The present invention is embodied in an apparatus for sensing solar position. The apparatus includes a precision wide-field-of-view (WFOV) sensor head having only passive components, a computer, a set of interface electronics disposed within the computer, and a wiring harness connecting the precision WFOV sensor head to the interface electronics.
The invention itself, together with further objects and attendant advantages, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of an attitude determination system capable of utilizing the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of the attitude determination system shown in FIG. 1.
Precision sun sensors provide a very accurate (typically having �0.1� resolution) representation of the location of the sun with respect to the spacecraft. Precision sun sensors are mounted in known orientations on the spacecraft frame, and because the sensors can measure the location of the sun, it is possible to determine the attitude of the spacecraft with respect to the sun using a sun sensor. It is desirable for precision sun sensors to have a wide-field-of-view (WFOV). WFOV sun sensors enable sun tracking for a greater percentage of a twenty-four hour period than traditional sun sensors, this is due to the increased field of view of the sensor. Sun sensors typically include photovoltaic cells disposed behind reticle assemblies having outputs directly proportional to the intensity of light to which the cell is exposed. A reticle assembly includes two glass plates separated by a spacer. Masking on the top plate provides an aperture for incoming sunlight. In combination with masking on the bottom plate, the top plate produces a characteristic output pattern of a cell as a function of sun position. For example, to measure solar position with respect to a single spacecraft axis, a number of solar cells may be disposed behind three separate reticles. Two of the reticles may provide coarse solar position information and the third reticle may provide fine solar position information. Note that a second set of three reticles may be used to measure solar position with respect to a second axis of the spacecraft.
The present invention relates to an architecture for interfacing a precision WFOV sun sensor to a processing unit. Referring now to FIG. 1, a spacecraft 5 is shown having, inter alia, a precision WFOV sun sensor 10, and a spacecraft computer 15. The spacecraft computer 15 is well known in the art, and may have various components providing various functions relevant to spacecraft functionality.
Typically, sun sensors 10 contain, within the sensor housing, processing electronics and photovoltaic cells disposed behind reticles. Alternatively, the sensor electronics may be housed in a dedicated electronics box, external from the sensor. In the disclosed embodiment of the present invention, the need for processing electronics either within the sensor housing or within an external box is eliminated by interface electronics disposed in the spacecraft computer. The precision WFOV sun sensor 10 outputs a number of current waveforms that represent the location of the sun 12. These current waveforms are coupled to the spacecraft computer 15 via an interface bus 17, which may be embodied as a connector and ribbon cable scheme. Typically, the current waveforms include both fine and coarse measurement signals, the fine signals having more precision than the coarse signals with respect to solar position representation. The fine and coarse signals are appropriately processed by the spacecraft computer to calculate spacecraft attitude.
FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram representing the spacecraft computer 15 and a set of reticles 18, 20, 25 of a precision WFOV sun sensor 10. The spacecraft computer 15 includes, inter alia, sensor interface hardware 30 and a processor 35. Current signals from the reticles 18, 20, 25 are coupled, via the interface bus 17, to the precision WFOV sensor interface hardware 30 of the spacecraft computer 15. The sensor interface hardware 30 processes both fine and coarse measurement signals for use by the processor 35. A fine interface circuit 40 processes the fine measurement signals. The fine interface circuit 40 includes transconductance amplifiers 45 and subtractors 50. The transconductance amplifiers 45 convert the analog currents from the precision WFOV sun sensor 10 into analog voltages. The subtractors 50 subtract selected analog voltages from one-another to create bi-polar, nominally zero biased signals. These analog voltage signals are then multiplexed by a multiplexer 55 and converted to digital signals by an analog to digital converter 60. The digital signals are provided to the processor 35 for processing.
The course measurement signals from the precision WFOV sun sensor 10 are compared against an automatically maintained threshold using a comparator 65, which determines the digital value represented by the currents. The output of the comparator 65 is a gray coded representation of solar position, which is coupled to the processor 35 as parallel digital data.
Signals from the precision WFOV sensor interface hardware 30 are passed to the processor 35 which determines the attitude of the spacecraft based on the information provided by the signals. The incorporation of the precision WFOV sensor interface hardware 30 into the spacecraft computer 15 offers many advantages. Specifically, the precision WFOV sensor interface hardware 30 represents only a small subset of the electronics used in dedicated external or on-sensor processing hardware. This hardware reduction is possible because software in the processor 35 may be used to replace the hardware functionality of either external or on-sensor processing hardware. Also, if a defect is found in software after the spacecraft is deployed, a software patch may be up uploaded to the spacecraft to fix the defect. However, a problem in dedicated external processing hardware is not easily fixed once the spacecraft is deployed. Additionally, the precision WFOV interface hardware 30 may be powered directly from the spacecraft computer 15, thereby eliminating power connections to dedicated external electronics or electronics housed within a sensor body. This configuration simplifies the precision WFOV sensor interconnection scheme with respect to power connections.
Of course, it should be understood that a range of changes and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiment described above. For example, the signals may be processed within the spacecraft computer without multiplexing, or the precision WFOV sun sensor currents may be converted to voltages before entering the spacecraft computer. It is therefore intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it be understood that it is the following claims, including all equivalents, which are intended to define the scope of this invention.

Before you go off and start wowing your customers with awesome, on-demand customer support through live chat, there are a few more things about your Zoho SalesIQ dashboard you should know. Designed to empower collaborative customer support for small teams, you can squeeze the most power out of your organization's live chat operation when you work together.
To encourage you and your teammates to communicate, collaborate and thrive, we built Zoho SalesIQ's bottom bar as your collaborative toolbox. The toolbar, which is always accessible, gives you quick access to your teammates, shared knowledge on your portal wide message board, and important updates from your notification center.
The first tab, My Colleagues, is your Live Support Chat Operation's buddy list. With quick access to your fellow online agents, you can connect and ask questions, share thoughts and best practices.
The next tab, Message Board, gives you access to your Zoho SalesIQ's agent-only message board, where you or others can share thoughts, tips, tricks, best practices and announcements with everyone that uses your Zoho SalesIQ. Give your agents quick updates, notify everyone of a change in policy, inform everyone of a scheduled downtime—with your Message Board, it is easy to communicate, connect and collaborate with everyone in an organized manner.
The third tab, Notification, displays important information to you—including missed visitors and unread chats—with easy access to view and start working on this information.
But the powerful tools are not confined to the bottom bar of your Zoho SalesIQ dashboard. You also have handy access to useful features at the top of your dashboard—including integrated search.
With integrated search built into your dashboard, you have yet another way to save time and work more efficiently. For example, you are currently chatting with a customer who wants to know about linking your application up with a third party mobile app. You know the app he wants to link with sounds familiar, but you can't quite remember what to tell him about it. With comprehensive search easily accessible you soon discover a canned message detailing the instructions of how to link the apps up, as well as a chat a fellow agent had with another customer a week ago about the same question.
Quickly search and discover instant results without ever leaving your current window, or click More Results For to see all results. You can search your Zoho SalesIQ's visitors—which includes their name and the transcript of chats, Agent Chats, Canned Messages and even Blocked IPs.
Also at the top of your dashboard, you can also mute or unmute sounds from your Zoho SalesIQ while receiving a chat request. Click the speaker icon to mute the sounds, or if muted click the muted icon (an X through the speaker) to unmute the sounds.
You can also customize the sounds your Zoho SalesIQ uses to notify you and your agents of certain events.
These are the sound notification, which takes place when a visitor performs an action.
These are the sound notification, which takes place when an agent performs an action.
You can further customize the look and feel of your Zoho SalesIQ by changing the settings or the themes inside the Themes tab of the Customize and Personalize window.
Like other chat programs you are already familiar with, in Zoho SalesIQ you have a status. In Zoho SalesIQ your status controls your availability to chat with customers.
Set your chat status from the top right hand corner of your Zoho Support screen, where you will see a green or red bar under your account name. To change your status, click your username and from the drop-down menu you will see Available (with a green check mark) or Busy (with a red X), click the icon you see to switch yourself to the other status.
Now you can update your profile with your personal information.You can edit and update all of it. You can update your profile picture for the Visitors to view your appearance.
Link your Google account with the SalesIQ and chat with your SalesIQ visitors through Gmail Chat.
To connect your Google account with SalesIQ, do the following:
If you are a Google Apps user, then in order to properly connect SalesIQ chat with Google Apps for your domain, you must configure your SRV records (part of your DNS records that pertain to extra services like chat) to allow external services like SalesIQ to connect.
Your domain host manages the SRV records. Please contact your domain host to find out if you have access to SRV records and how you can make modifications.
Enter your domain name in the text box and click on the Check SRV button, to check weather your domain ready to receive chats.
If your unable to detect your SRV records here as correctly configured after 24 hours, we highly recommend you to double check your changed SRV records.
After configuring the SRV records, enter the email ID in the XMPP/Google Chat textbox and click Update.
You will then receive 5-friend requests in your Gmail Id from bots, through which the visitor chat will be routed to your Gmail Chat.
Accept the requests in your Gmail chat, and converse with your SalesIQ customers through Gmail chat.
Check your invite status, Action, Email id of the bot and Name of the bot in the XMPP/Google Chat sections.
If you wish to disable the bots click on the disable button. To join again, click on the Re-invite button. You will receive the invitation on the chat section of Google Talk. If the bot is disabled, it will take 30 min to reflect on your google talk. You can Sign Out and Sign in to reflect the changes immediately.
Now when the visitor initiates a chat, you will receive it through one of the bot. Type "Y" in the messaging area and hit Enter to accept the chat.
Once you accept the chat, you will receive the connected status message and the details of the visitor.
You will also be able to view the visitor information in the chat window and in the contacts list.
You can converse with 5 visitors at a time, and the remaining chats will be queued and routed when any one of these bot is freed.
If other user takes the chat, then you will be notified in the chat window.

Smile, Live, Laugh, Love!
Hi! I would describe myself as caring, hard-working and funny in my own way (the way that makes myself laugh more than an intended audience). My friends would say that I am fairly outgoing and friendly, though I prefer listen, as I am a patron to the world. In all I would add that I am philosophical, searching for meaning and led by my heart. Nature makes me smile, in particular, flowers, the ocean, animals... so does seeing someone happy, kids playing, and those isolated moments of stillness that give me a change in perspective. Any silly grandpa-humor-esque joke will make me laugh, and unfortunately I have been known to tell my fare share of my own horrible jokes. I like to play guitar and write music, paint, read and run. The ideal person for me would have a big heart, great sense of humor, open mind, and have a bit of a philosophical side.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing
Dancing, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
My number one "happy place" is the beach. I am not really into the city scene but every once in a while I head into NYC, Philly or DC. Outside of the US- Costa Rica and Ireland will always have a place in my heart.
Villanova University, Villanova, PA
Favorites: Music: anything that moves the listener- from folk to reggae; I love live music and dancing; I love sunshine, but will gladly welcome an isolated rainy day; I love to laugh
During my free time I like to read, write, play guitar, paint, be outside, spend time with friends, cook...
I am currently reading The Life of Pi and a ridiculous medical textbook on addictions for class. I much prefer the former.

Should NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Be Fired? [POLL]
The Ray Rice controversy is the hot button issue of the moment, not just in the sports world, but in the American consciousness.
The Ray Rice controversy is the hot button issue of the moment, not just in the sports world, but in the American consciousness.
The Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions each won on the first Monday night of the 2014 NFL season. Here's a recap of the action:
The 2014 NFL season marked its first full Sunday of games with a 400-yard passing performance, two overtime games and three big upsets. Here are the day's most interesting facts:
Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seahawks bullied the Green Bay Packers, 36-16, in Seattle to win the opening game of the 2014 NFL season.
Suspensions to a few key players could impact the fortunes of several potential Super Bowl contenders when the NFL begins its 2014 season this week. Here's what you need to know heading into Week 1.
Seven skilled football players — most of whom never played "skill" positions during their distinguished NFL careers — were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on Saturday night.
Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has publicly apologized for the January incident in which he had a domestic dispute with his then fiancee.
Here's an important memo for Peyton Manning -- we get it, already. You're a fantastic football player and an even better family man.
When Michael Sam became the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team, he broke down a barrier -- but a lot of people still have issues with it.
After three days and 256 selections, NFL teams stocked their rosters with talented college football players via the 2014 NFL Draft.

American Classical Orchestra to Open 30th Anniversary SEason at Alice Tully Hall, 9/23
On Tuesday, September 23 at 8:00PM at Alice Tully Hall, the American Classical Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Thomas Crawford, presents its opening night concert of its 30th Anniversary season with music that includes Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, which will feature violin soloist Krista Bennion Feeney; Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 and Mozart's Symphony No. 35 'Haffner'.
Krista Bennion Feeney will perform the legendary Mendelssohn Concerto on a historic violin made in 1809 with the same configuration, proportions, materials and sound as that of Mendelssohn's concertmaster Ferdinand David, at the Gewandhaus Orchestra. For this concert, the ACO string section will use the type of gut strings that were used by Mendelssohn, providing a unique window into his actual sound world.
The concert will be preceded by a Pre-Concert Lecture at 7:00PM by Maestro Thomas Crawford.
Thomas Crawford says, 'There are only a handful of violinists in the world who can play the virtuosic Mendelssohn Concerto on a period violin, and Krista Bennion Feeney is one of them. The texture of using all gut strings and fingering positions in keeping with Mendelssohn's era will be like hearing this masterpiece for the first time'.

Everything we do is designed for the care and education of each child. Building relationships between the teachers, parents and children is a priority for our school.
Every day we get to do what we love…every day we get to have fun and explore a world of possibilities and wonder with children.
After 25 years in the field of early childhood education, I cannot go a day without being in the classrooms to join in a discussion or a song, to encourage, wipe a tear, laugh, or share a story. Children from birth to 5 have a capacity to learn that goes beyond our imagination. It is our job to provide them with a sense of the world we live in whether it's math, science, art, music, imagination, friendships, kindness or riding a bike. It is our job to stretch and grow every child allowing them to explore, experiment and express themselves for their best development…and of course it has to be fun! From the staff to the environment to the curriculum, we strive to be the very best at what we do.
As our families, this process includes you because the role we play here must connect with the role you have at home. Our door is always open for communication, feedback or to help however we are able. This school, in particular, is a community because we are situated within the community. These families know one another, the children grow up together here and move on to elementary school together. We encourage a partnership that benefits the whole child and their whole life.
We welcome you to call and schedule a tour. Step into a room and be a part of the magic that we are a part of every day!
Many of our child care centers are accredited by national organizations that require us to meet rigorous early childhood education standards and guidelines for high-quality care and education. Programs that are accredited have demonstrated their commitment to go beyond the state's minimum licensing requirements to meet and maintain these high standards of quality.
(6 Weeks–1 Year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
More Details
(1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
(2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
(3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for Oct. 3
Rihanna's racy stage show, lyrics and videos have gotten her censored and banned in an impressive array of countries, but the 23-year-old maintains that people who judge her as controversial are missing the point. "That's not me. That's a part I play. You know, like it's a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with," she tells British Vogue. "See, people – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music." Of course, even when she's not making music, RiRi's mouth tends to get her in trouble. Explaining the popularity of a certain "c" word back home in Barbados, she says, "when I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing ... until my make-up artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never know." (Metro)

Right now in Mali, amidst a political crisis, lie 33,000 doses of the HPV vaccine, unable to be distributed as military funding has become the country's financial focus. However, the vaccine is perishable, and time is running out. If not utilized within the next few months, the vaccine and with it the possibility of saving thousands of lives, will be wasted.
When we conducted our Malian-based HPV study, a dismal 9.8% of female participants had even heard of cervical cancer. Yet 12%, about 1 in every 10, Malian woman has been diagnosed with HPV. Further, 80% of those diagnosed with cervical cancer will die from the disease. That is, 1,076 Malian women die each year of preventable cervical cancer due to a lack of cytotechnology screening and early treatment programs. Many of these deaths can be eradicated with the same preventative HPV vaccine that has shown success in the developing world.
How is GAIA VF taking action?
We are now gathering and analyzing data in order to validate the usability of the HPV vaccine and obtain approval for its use in Mali and to subsequently build a framework for future vaccine trials. Specifically, GAIA VF will be vaccinating adolescent women in a preventative approach for a sustainable reduction in the prevalence of HPV in Mali.
We are also developping a cloth that tells the story of strong, educated women who proclaim, "I immunize myself, I protect myself, and I take care of myself"– a mantra written as a banner across the image offlowering, healthy cervixes (see attached picture). It is the banner of strength that keeps the virus out of the healthy cervixes, a reminder of the importance of being an educated, vaccinated woman. Every Malian woman who receives the HPV vaccine will receive a cloth so that she might pass on the story of prevention and vaccination, and take on a personal role in curing cervical cancer.
Past, Present, and Future
The GAIA VF HPV vaccine initiative will use traditions of storytelling through textiles in order to change the Malian peoples' present understanding of HPV and cervical cancer in order to create a foundation of prevention through education and vaccination in Mali. This is an integrated project that involves not only the scientists and personnel at GAIA VF, but the people of Mali in taking steps towards curing cervical cancer.
We thank you for your support.
Our study - evaluation of the prevalence of HPV subtypes associated with cervical cancer - is still ongoing. To date 100% of patients have been enrolled and interviewed and the recruitment of subjects is now closed.
Dr. Ibrahima Téguété, our Malian collaborator on this study, was the recipient a travel grant enabling him to attend the International Papillomavirus Conference in Puerto Rico this month and present a poster with preliminary results.
As you all know Mali is still facing a major political crisis. We believe that continuing to operate our programs will instill hope in the citizens of Mali to sustain them through these difficult times. Our Malian collaborators are continuing their work, and we need to bolster their optimism that peace and prosperity will be restored. More than ever, GAIA VF, our staff, and our patients need our, and your, support.
Thank you!
The second phase of our study - evaluation of the prevalence of HPV subtypes associated with cervical cancer - is ongoing and we are still recruiting women diagnosed with cervical cancer. To date a total of 127 patients have been enrolled; tissue and serum are being collected. In February 2012 the serum samples were shipped to the US to get tested.
As you know, Mali is currently facing a political crisis. On March 21st, 2012 renegade soldiers from the Malian military launched a coup d'état and attacked several locations in the capital city of Bamako. Our staff reported that the flow of activities at the hospital and in the lab slowed down but the study was able to continue without interruption.
In light of this recent political instability, we are trying to secure funds to ensure our programs are not interrupted.
Thank you all for your support!
We are very happy to report that our study is making great progress!
As mentioned in our last update, the GAIA Vaccine Foundation did a pilot study in Sikoro, Mali West Africa. 50 interviews were completed. We recently completed the creation of a database and did data entry and analysis for this pilot. The full KAP/WTP study was entirely completed in May-June 2011 and 100% of the subjects were enrolled. The database for the full study (300 subjects) is built and is currently being reviewed by one of our consultant. Data entry will start next month!
As for the prevalence study, the remaining medical and lab supplies were brought to Mali in September 2011.The founder and scientific director of GAIA VF was recently in Mali to review progress. 80 patients have been enrolled to date and lab work is ongoing. There is a lot to do and we will probably be able to gather data by the end of March 2012.
Thank you for your support!
As mentioned in our previous report the GAIA Vaccine Foundation performed a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) pilot study - March 2011 - in conjunction with a willingness to participate (WTP) in a vaccine trial evaluation. This HPV study had two aims: 1) To understand the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to HPV infection, associated disease (cervical cancer), and prevention (vaccines) among Malians, and 2) To understand Malians' willingness to participate (WTP) in an HPV vaccine trial. Following this pilot a major KAP-WTP study including 300 participants was conducted in May 2011 in Sikoro and Djikoro. Data analysis will allow us to put in place an education program focusing on HPV and cervical cancer, train our personnel and elaborate on an appropriate approach for establishing such a vaccine trial.The second phase of our study includes an evaluation of the prevalence of HPV subtypes associated with cervical cancer. We are currently recruiting women diagnosed with cervical cancer within the OBGYN department of Hôpital Touré one of the major hospital located in Bamako. We hope that validating the types of HPV associated with cervical cancer will allow us to prepare a proposal for a clinical study in preparation for an HPV vaccine trial.We plan to develop necessary protocols, put an infrastructure in place, and re-train medical personnel. This step is necessary not only for this study, but also for preparing for a vaccine trial (if possible). The goal is to lay the groundwork for all clinical studies to come, and to improve the conditions of vaccine research in Mali.

Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood, Not Iran's Puppet
Expand Messages
- Hamas is Not Iran's Puppet
New America Media, Commentary, William O. Beeman, Posted: Dec 31, 2008
Review it on NewsTrust
Editor's Note: The popular wisdom that Iran is pulling the strings behind
Hamas doesn't take into account the geography of Gaza argues William O.
Beeman. Beeman is professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology at
the University of Minnesota and past-president of the Middle East Section of
the American Anthropological Association. He is the author of "The 'Great
Satan' vs. the 'Mad Mullahs': How the United States and Iran Demonize Each
Other," published by the University of Chicago Press (2008).
The conflict between Israel and Hamas is not a proxy war between Israel and
Iran. This is a myth that has grown up during the Bush administration, and
is now widely promulgated with little or no support.
Iran has, it is true, been sympathetic to the Hamas situation, particularly
since the U.S.-endorsed Palestinian elections of 2006, when Hamas won a
plurality of votes, allowing it to form a government. Subsequently, the new
Palestinian government was rejected by Israel and the United States, and an
economic embargo plunged the Palestinians into economic chaos. At that point
Iran provided substantial humanitarian aid.
In the present conflict, Iran is also sending two ships to provide
humanitarian assistance.
However, American and Israeli analysts would have the world believe that
Hamas could not carry out any actions against Israel if they were not
directed by Iran. As George Joffee of the Cambridge Centre of International
Studies maintained in 2006 in aninterview with
<http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1065130.html> U.S.-based Radio Free
Europe and Radio Liberty, "The Israeli government has alleged that
indirectly through Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran is engaged in trying to
control the events inside the Occupied Territories and there have been
allegations with no proof at all, of involvement in some of the more violent
activities there. Those links I suspect are largely Israeli propaganda and
don't really carry water."
The same is true today.
No one promulgating the theory that Hamas's attacks on Israel are directed
by Iran bothers to think much about geography. Hamas has been effectively
sealed off from the world by Israel, and by Egypt. The Israelis have
essentially controlled the import of food and medical supplies. The idea of
Iran shipping arms to Hamas under these conditions is patently absurd. The
rockets launched against Israel that started the current conflict were
clearly homemade, low-level weapons, not sophisticated arms.
A parallel claim is that Iranians are providing training to Hamas. Given the
rhetoric, one would imagine that this is being done on a massive scale.
However, on March 9, 2008 the Times of
<http://uk.reuters.com/article/middleeastCrisis/idUKLU87392> London reported
that 150 Hamas fighters were being trained in Tehran. Hamas itself claims to
have 15,000 fighters, and Israel has millions of potential fighters at its
command. Thus training for a team of 150, if the facts are correct, is
hardly much of a threat to Israel.
Hezbollah in Lebanon is sometimes cited as an Iranian cat's-paw in the
region, but Hezbollah has no geographical access to Gaza. Therefore they are
limited to leading protests in Lebanon. Timur Goksel, former adviser to U.N.
Peacekeepers in Lebanon, told Reuters News
<http://uk.reuters.com/article/middleeastCrisis/idUKLU87392> Agency on Dec.
30, "With all their rhetoric about Palestine, there is not much [Hezbollah]
can do about Gaza, short of getting Lebanon involved in another disaster. So
they are leading the popular reaction."
Egypt is not a conduit for Iranian arms either. President Hosni Mubarak is
caught in a dilemma with regard to Gaza. He receives aid from the United
States, and has a long-standing peace treaty with Israel. Moreover, his
secular government is desperately afraid of Islamic extremism, which they
see as a threat. Because Hamas has a religious base, not a secular one like
Fatah, its rival for power in the Palestinian community, they are seen as
dangerous. For this reason, Egypt has kept the border crossing to Gaza
firmly closed except for humanitarian emergencies.
Why then does the myth of Iranian military support persist? One reason is
that it has been a long-standing American foreign policy belief that
resistance movements cannot exist without state support. Before Iran was
targeted as the source for support, Libya was the U.S. bogeyman. It is
instructive to look at rhetoric against Libya from the 1980s and see that
exactly the same accusations that were leveled at Libya then are being
hurled at Iran today.
Finally, Iran does not help matters. The rhetoric of the original Iranian
revolution is still alive and well in some segments of Iranian political
life. Iran ousted a Western-supported leader, the Shah, and tried in the
early days of the revolution to promulgate this action elsewhere in the
Middle East. Hezbollah and Hamas were sympathetic rhetorical partners. Iran
supported Hezbollah in its early days, but no longer controls its
operations. Iran had nothing to do with the founding of Hamas, but sees its
conflict with Israel as sympathetic with its revolutionary ideals. This does
not mean that Iran is controlling the action.
The more apoplectic visions of Iranian involvement see Iran developing
nuclear weapons and supplying them to both Hezbollah and Hamas. However, not
only is there no evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program; the
simple logistics of transfer of such weapons to a place like Gaza are
virtually impossible.
For Israel, and the world, blaming Iran for its troubles with Hamas does not
advance the peace process. Nor would attacking Iran mitigate in any way the
tensions that exist between Israel and its neighbors.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
