The Basse-Normandie region
With its 350 miles of coastline and richly varied landscapes, Normandy offers a wonderful choice of scenery and culture: the stunning beauty of the cliffs in Étretat or the long sandy beaches, steeped in history, from Caen to Arromanches, the Seine Valley winding between wooded hills and chalk escarpments, the craggy hills of the Suisse Normande, and the patchwork of fields and hedges of the Calvados county with its orchards and timber-framed cottages.
Calvados is one of the 3 "départements" (counties) of Lower Normandy, along with Manche and Orne.
Annexed by Roman legions and Viking adventurers, disputed for centuries by English and French kings, beach-head for D-Day armies, Normandy is a melting-pot of peoples and languages, a cross-roads where cultures and ideas, artefacts and produce, have met and mingled, giving it a rich heritage of traditions, monuments and history.
The Channel coast, the banks of the Seine River, Rouen, Honfleur, Giverny were home to the impressionist painters, inspired by the unique light of the Norman skies.
In Normandy you can experience every type of weather in a single day, meaning it is ever changing; the reason is the closeness of the sea with its changeable and innumerable winds. The climate is mild. Good levels of rain mean that the countryside is green but there are usually more sunny days than cloudy or rainy days. The weather does not get to the high temperatures seen elsewhere in France and it can be unpredictable. However occasional days reaching 80* F (27* C) are not unusual in the summer and the winter months are relatively mild.
In Montpinçon, you will be centrally located for sightseeing Normandy: Deauville and Honfleur (35 miles), beaches (Cabourg, 25 miles), the Landing Beaches (35 miles), Monet's Giverny (65 miles), Mont Saint-Michel (85 miles), the local market (6 miles) or the lanes of our Montpinçon forest.
South Pays d'Auge
The best kept secret in Normandy: a privileged position of proximity, yet bucolic unspoilt countryside!
The Pays d'Auge is an area in Normandy, straddling the départements of Calvados, Orne and Eure. The main towns are Lisieux, Falaise, Pont L'Évêque, Deauville and Trouville.
Generally considered as the "true Normandy", it is a landscape of apple orchards, quiet dales with verdant pastures and half-timbered manors.
It is noted for its cheeses - Pont L'Évêque, Camembert, Livarot, also names of villages only 10 and 6 miles away from La Hoguette. The Pays d'Auge has been granted the "appellation d'origine contrôlée", the famous AOC, for its cheeses and for its cider, Pommeau and Calvados. General consensus states that the Normans of Pays d'Auge, with their AOC status, make the best cider.
• Falaise, 13 miles away, the birthplace of William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy and King of England, is the cradle of the Anglo-Norman dynasty. Bearing witness to the great power of the Anglo-Norman Duke-Kings, this palace-keep is a rare example of medieval architecture combining both a military and a residential purpose.
• Lisieux, 15 miles away, is world-famous thanks to Therese Martin, better known as Sainte-Thérèse-de-Lisieux. A town of pilgrimage, it has retained many tokens of its rich past – the "Canonical Quarter", the 12th century cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, the hôtel du Haut Doyenné, the Bishop's Palace Garden, the 17th century courthouse.
• The Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet, "The Wonder of the Pays d'Auge": this little fortress nestling in the bottom of a valley is a true gem, with its coloured stone and green-varnished bricks. Built in the 16th century, it is one of the most precious examples of architecture in the Pays d'Auge in the Renaissance period. The interior is embellished with 18th and 19th century furniture and 16th century frescoes.
• The CERZA animal park, 17 miles away, at Hermival-les-Vaux: 500 wild animals in an area of over 123 acres. A Safari Train takes visitors on tours of the park.
• Le Pin National Stud farm, « Versailles for horses » is 13 miles away. Discover the world of horses through an exceptional heritage handed down over the centuries since Louis the 14th - its architecture, its landscapes, pedigree horses, 18th Century château and stable blocks, a delight for seniors and young alike.
• The Channel sea resorts such as Cabourg 25 miles away, Deauville and Trouville.
• Enjoy a stroll and a café crème at the local markets, there is one for each day of the week: Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives on Mondays, the most famous, well-attended since the 13th century, but also Argentan on Tuesdays, Orbec on Wednesdays, Falaise or Lisieux on Saturdays.
• Visit the annual exhibition at The Folk Museum of Le Billot, 1 mile away, right in Montpinçon, always about some aspect of life in Pays d'Auge from prehistory to 1945.
• Tennis, kayaking, swimming-pool 7 m. away.
• Aquacentre 13 m. away.
• Horseback-riding, angling & fishing, golfing 3 m. away.
• Mountain biking, hiking right in the lanes and the woods of Montpinçon
• Paragliding and hand-gliding, right in Montpinçon
• Rock-climbing 20 m. away in Suisse Normande
• Horse races at the many race-tracks – the very local such as Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives or the more prestigious like Deauville.
• Promenades musicales en Pays d'Auge in July and August, at least 40 concerts in at times surprising locations, within a radius of 20 miles
• Septembre musical de l'Orne in September, within a radius of 50 miles
• Equestrian events at Le Pin National Stud farm

SYRACUSE Through two weeks of football, Westhill is the only local side with a victory - but its shaky offense still has a lot of work to do.
Going for a 2-0 start, the Warriors fell to Homer 18-10 in a game that stayed in doubt until the late stages, when a costly Westhill turnover helped seal the 100th win for Trojans head coach Gary Podsiedlik.
Meanwhile, Marcellus also saw a late touchdown break against them in a 25-15 defeat to Chittenango. That left the Mustangs at 0-2, which is where Solvay also sits after falling to Mexico 32-6.
For the second week in a row, Westhill's lack of production was a major issue. It didn't cost them in the Sept. 2 opener at Solvay, but it would hurt against a tough, opportunistic Homer defense.
And it was that defense that made the game's most important play. Westhill only trailed 12-10 as time ticked down in the fourth quarter, but it had moved from its own eight-yard line to midfield, attempting to earn the go-ahead points.
But with 2:37 left, tailback Christian St. Amour was swarmed on a handoff play. Several Homer tacklers joined in until Kyle Ritz stripped the ball from St. Amour and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. Moments later, Homer's Tom Austin intercepted a Richie Easterly pass to thwart the Warriors' last hope.
Westhill had trailed all night. Homer, relying on the gains of tailback Austin Recor, went 69 yards with the opening kickoff, taking just eight plays as Conner Johnston went the last five yards for the TD.
After that, the Warriors controlled the ball for much of the first half, twice driving deep into Homer territory. However, it could not cross the goal line, and instead had to settle for Joe Perry trying two field goals. He made one of them, from 32 yards out.

Sorry for the intermission!
It was a few months ago that our main character got his second chance to go for a long unsupported ride. He only went for an overnight trip but remembering how much he loved that trip kept him on his toes while planning his newest expedition. He had meticulously planned every detail down to the most miniscule fact. He had prepped the bike for everything he knew how and enjoyed every minute preparing for the voyage. But alas he never got to go. The chains of responsibility had a tight hold and showed no signs of breaking. His time came and went, but he knew if he was patient he would one day get the chace to ride again.
(Found my glasses! Picture is of me at the top of one of the many mountains.)
He waited and waited knowing that one day the sea and the skies would be calm and clear enough to allow another departure.
Without warning he found himself with a long weekend free of those rusty chains. Burrying himself with the preperation of this voyage he started to swell with anticipation, having only a vague and blurry idea of what lay ahead of him only seemed to fuel his desire even more.
(Like the water under a bridge, time seems to move so slow when you want something but when your in the middle of it someone pulls down the dam holding back the water seemingly cutting your time in half when you want it most)
He woke up with a start. He knew something was wrong as soon as he opened his eyes. "Damn electronics!" He said to himself when he found out the time. Everyone had already left for work hours ago while he peacefully slept through the three alarms he had set to make sure he got up for an early start.
It took him a few hours to get everything together, he just couldnt seem to get organized. Frantically running around trying to find this or that, "why did I not do this last night when I was awake?" Again saying this to only himself as he was alone now and would be for the next three days.
When he finally had everything ready he started to load his trusty steed. Heading out to the barn to get the trailor he had his first taste of mother nature for the weekend. She too seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. The entire atmosphere around him seemed to be creaking and growning almost refusing to go on. The humidity was stifiling, the cloud cover made the day seem very bleak and the lack of wind made the heat even more obvious. Days like that were only good for one thing, effectively derailing any hope of enjoyment, but even all of this would not hold him back. He was determined and would never give in. This was HIS trip, mother nature nor the sand man were going to take it from him.
Soon after he finally began his trip, it was to start with five hours of boring highway, but he didnt care. After all, it was leading to new trails, unexplained circumstances, new people and many miles to drown out the cries that are every day life.
Next up, day one!

Oregano Oil Reader Feedback 44 0

[YEA] Oil of Oregano for Sinus Infection: Wanted to first say that I haven't had ice cream in years, and I'd never had a sinus infection until....I ate ice cream at a dinner party last Dec (to avoid insulting the hosts) & 3 days later had a nasty sinus infection. I will never touch the stuff again. . (Thanks!) I started seriously looking for natural cures when I lost sense of smell & taste due to clogged sinuses. The inhaled salt water & ACV steams helped with that, but it was the oil of oregano that finally got rid of the infection for good. A big thanks to the person who posted this remedy. I took four drops every 2 hours for about 4 days, then tapered down for the next 10 days. I started feeling better on day 2, but had it completely kicked by day 11. Thanks for this wonderful site.

01/08/2015[YEA] I had the same experience and same exact dosage. Cleared it right up! Just make sure to take probiotics after :)
I was originally here looking for validation that this dosage wasn't too much! Glad I found this review.Replied by Chika

01/29/2015[YEA] I took very high doses to clear the fluid out of my lungs. I had pneumonia and was scheduled to have a procedure to drain the fluid in about three days and I didn't want to do it. I prayed to God and he sent me the answer that very day-Oregano. I bought some after work and over the course of three days I was alternating between taking 2 of the gel caps with the oil in it and the dried herbs every 2 hours that I was awake. When they did an ultrasound on my chest to try to locate the fluid to see where they would go in at they found NOTHING!
The oregano was the only thing I did for this problem (I didn't even change my terrible diet at the time because I didn't know any better-please eat healthy if you don't :)). I still had some pain and that's why I went in but one of the nurses told me it's common for the chest pain to stick around for a bit but the important thing was the fluid was gone. That made a believer out of me and I have been recommending it to everyone. I used P73 OregaResp. I can't speak on other brands because that one works so I haven't bothered to try another.
So some of these issues you have to treat very aggressively. As the poster above says please do take it with a probiotic if you are taking high doses. Normally it doesn't wipe out good bacteria but if you take potent forms and high doses of it it will mess with the good bacteria. Hope this encourages someone.Posted by Harold (Virginia Beach, VA) on 01/22/2007
[YEA] I don't know if you consider this a natural remedy or not, but oil of oregano has stopped strep-like sore throats very quickly for me and my wife. If it appears to be full-blown strep, I soak a cotton swab in oil of oregano and dab it directly on the inflamed area. If it's milder I can often place about 6 drops under my tongue and hold them until the mouth fills with saliva. I then gargle a bit to coat the back of the throat and swallow. The oil has a powerful burning taste but it has come through for us many times.Posted by Julianna (Columbus, OH) on 01/10/2007
[YEA] I knew about taking cranberry juice for UTIs as I've had one or two in the past which is why I try to take the AZO cranberry pills & yeast pills daily (along with eating yogurt daily). I was surprised when I got this latest UTI a few days ago. Since I no longer have health insurance, I was freaked & I knew that the OTC urinary pain medicine was just a temp fix (which I gladly used b/c my UTIs come with PAIN!) Sure enough the OTC pills and the extra AZO cran pills began to have no effect yesterday even though I was constantly poppin em. I read through the site about oil of oregano (which I never heard of), vitamin C & others & decided to load up. I got the sea salt, oil of oregano, unsweetened cran juice, etc. I put 2 Tblsps of Sea Salt in a cup of H2O and tried to drink it (GAWD!) Well I drank maybe a little less than half the cup.... maybe. Maybe I put in too much salt, but DAMN! I took 1000mgs of Vitamin C. I put a drop of oil of oregano under my tongue (not good) & put another drop in a cup of H2O (this I could somewhat tolerate). I also sipped on a cup of the unsweetened cran juice (ick!). Anyway about an hour later it became less painful to pee & today I have no pain when I PEEEE & NO frequency. I have no idea which remedy did it & how long I need to keep taking these concoctions. I also took some probiotic pill the woman at the whole foods store put in my basket (she claimed the pill has millions of the good bacteria I need & way more than yogurt). Anyway I will be taking this pill in the AM & PM. I think the little bit of sea salt H2O I took had an effect although I won't be doing that again unless absolutely necessary & I believe the oil of oregano did something too. I will continue the oil of oregano, the vitamin C &, the probiotic pill for 6 more days & then maybe just continue the probiotic pill in place of the AZO cran & yeast pills I used to take. I know the feedback on this site really helped me. It seems these UTIs are such a Catch-22. They say that holding your pee in (or resisting the urge) can possibly bring them on but when I know its gonna be painful to go then I'd rather hold it than feel that pain. Maybe its just me.... Well, anyway hope this helps someone.Posted by Nikki (Vernal, Utah) on 01/09/2007
[YEA] Oregano Oil. We bought the stuff from North American Herb and Spice that has cumin and sage in it called Oregacyn. Also have recently started taking Apple Cider Vinegar. Oregacyn completely cures sinus infections and completely reversed my son's asthma. ACV helps eradicate sinus stuffiness and itchy patches on the skin. I wanted to recommend a couple of other books that are definitely worth reading in your "Worth Reading" section: 1. The Cure is in the Cupboard by Cass Ingram. I love this book it is about oregano and it helped my son so much with his asthma. 2. The Fungus Link by Doug Kaufmann, I love his show-I am a faithful watcher every week day. I truly believe fungus is among us! 3. Beating Cancer with Nutrition by Patrick Quillin. This book was a wonderful guide to help my mother when she was battling lung cancer. The book outlines which foods can help our body heal from cancer during chemotherapy and radiation treatments, as well as which foods can help stave off chemo sickness during treatment. I love the nutritional aspect of improving the immune system. Thanks for your time. Love the website-I think I could become an addict to it!Posted by Emily (Chandler, AZ) on 12/20/2006
[YEA] organic oregano oil ( capsules size 00 ) 4 drops in capsule every 2 hours the first day and every 4 hours and then every 6 and then every 8 for a period of 10 days cures sinus infections. I have a friend that uses essential oils. I didn't have insurance at the time so i called her at my wits end. I normally am prescribed Zithromax and Prednisode ( a steroid) that's how severe my sinus infections normally are. You take it for 10 days and it fights off the infection. Also peppermint oil rubbed around your sinus area ( use a 1 to 1 ratio with cold pressed extra virgin olive oil) it gets your nose running right away. You do have to take it for 10 days or it can come back. Using this in combination to the other remedies on here will take care of the bacterial and viral sinus infections. (i get both!) Hope it helps. I've been doing this for the last 2 times i got a sinus infection.Posted by Alexa (GA) on 12/08/2006
[YEA] An Alkaline diet and Oil of oregano will cure Chronic sinusitis and urinary tract infection. I would recommend that you consult your doctor for diagnosis of urinary tract infection in order to rule out more serious conditions and then take oil of oregano with concentrated cranberry juice. The best way to take oil of oregano is under the tongue but if you don't like the taste you can take capsules. You will feel it working. Oil of oregano is an antifungal, antiviral and antibiotic which makes it very effective against sinusitis etc.Replied by Imwoman

09/01/2011this is off topic a bit b/c it's in reply to the person who gets frequent uti's. Look up d-mannose. It's EXCELLENT for that!Posted by Jennifer (Albuquerque, NM) on 12/03/2006
[YEA] I tried ACV, the spicy tomato tea, the onion halves with brown sugar, and the garlic soup. Especially the tomato tea and ACV brought some temporary relief from a month-long cough and sinus congestion that I'd had almost as long. As far as I'm concerned, though, the #1 choice and remedy should be Oil of Oregano. I bought a jar last Tues. and began taking three per day with meals. I am so encouraged and feel at least 95% well again. After doing some research on it I now know that this is an amazing product! Perhaps it doesn't work the same for everyone but it has done so much for me in six days. I've also been using a good quality colloidal silver in a nasal spray bottle. This has probably worked alongside the Oil of Oregano for the sinus congestion. It cured a month-long cough/bronchitis and sinus congestion. I'm wondering now if I could have increased the dosage of Oil of Oregano to say four a day. I've stayed at 3/day since I couldn't find any info. to let me know if more would be too much of a good thing. Any thoughts on that?Posted by Caroline (Honolulu, HI) on 10/04/2006
[YEA] This will work--no exceptions! Run hot shower over body for a couple minutes to open pores; turn off shower; add 5 drops pure oregano oil to some liquid soap like Dr. Bronner's Eucalyptus Soap. Mix in hands and apply to one major limb--left arm, e.g. Do the same again for the right arm. Again for the torso, and again for both legs respectively. It will burn. Tolerate it for as long as you can--between 3 to 5 minutes at the most. Rinse.
For me it cures these no-see-ums that I presume to be some kind of mite. I frequently get infested after handling papers or books that have previously been infected. Why I just don't throw out all these things so that I'll never be exposed again, I don't know. Actually, it's because I'm an information junkie and hope that freezing or cooking in the oven will rid these papers/books of these parasites. Not necessarily! I just got a new infestation which brings me here to this website. I did "the treatment" just now and it works. It burns the little critters to death. Just accept that your skin will burn also for the 3-5 minutes before you rinse it, and somewhat after. But you will definitely feel an immediate sense of relief because your nerve endings won't be agitated any longerPosted by Lina (Felton, CA) on 09/29/2006
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] I haven't been completely cured yet, but Oregano Oil and Mineral Oil have greatly helped a case of scabies and I feel I am on my way to recovering. I actually had this case of scabies for several years, but it never got very bad as I had tried various over the counter remedies because I thought at first it was just dry skin or a skin irritation. When I finally realized what I had, I was upset because I did not want to take a neurotoxin. An herbalist recommended the oregano oil and almost instantly I began to see results. I've been taking it orally and also applying it topically. I have also been using mineral oil on my hands as well.Posted by Shelley (Nova Scotia) on 06/04/2006
[YEA] I tried almost everything, conventional and alternative. Finally found my cure-dandellion tea and Oil of Oregano at first sign of infection and as a preventative I take acidophillus supplements try to keep the bacteria balanced. If I stick to these three products I can keep my bladder under control. Basically cures my bladder infections and the infections are occuring less often as times goes by. I hope this helps someone else because I was very discouraged when I finally found this "cure", I had spent a lot of money and time trying to find relief. When I went into my health store and said I think I have tried everything here, do you have any suggestions, they offered me the oil of oregano and said they had never heard any bad results. Great stuff!!

[YEA] My daughter had a callus or something on the bottom of her foot that she didn't tell me about. Not sure why she decided to pick at it. She said she thought there was something in it. Anyway, it got sore and there was a hole in the middle of it. That's when she decided to show it to me.*Sigh*
For two nights (a few days apart) I put a drop of oregano oil on it. She said it feels fine now. Just to be sure I'm gonna put another drop on tonight.
I have also used oregano oil on scratches and pimples. It works really well in helping both disappear almost overnight!Posted by Aubergine (Washington, Dc, Usa) on 05/27/2013
[YEA] Oregano oil for skin infection/possible cellulitis:
I have fingernails that split easily and I sometimes get nail fungus. This happened to one of my thumbnails recently, and I had been treating the fungus by soaking it in apple cider vinegar daily (as I normally do to get rid of the fungus). So, last night I woke up during the night and noticed that my thumb hurt - enough to keep me from going right back to sleep like I usually do. Still, I was asleep again within a few minutes, but when I woke up for real in the morning, my thumb was so painful that I couldn't even use my toothbrush with my right hand - the pressure of my thumb on the toothbrush hurt too much. My thumb was swollen down to the first joint. The first thing did was pour hydrogen peroxide on it. Then I went downstairs to the computer to consult Earth Clinic. I saw tea tree oil mentioned as a helpful remedy. I have tea tree oil, but it was upstairs. I remembered that oregano oil is a powerful antibiotic, and I had some nearby in the kitchen (it came pre-mixed in olive oil), so I put a drop on the thumbnail crack. Within an hour, both the pain and swelling had subsided significantly. I do not know if it was cellulitis or some lesser skin infection, but since cellulitis is very fast-moving, I'm glad the oregano oil helped the infection/inflammation before it got worse.

[YEA] I have been using oil of oregano for years to cure tonsillitis. I am 63 years old and haven't had a sore throat for several years now. Oil of oregano is a natural antibacterial and anti fungal. 2 to 3 drops of pure oil in a small glass of water works perfect. the taste is awful and it stings for a short time ( no burning of skin) If it hits the lips it stings for a couple of minutes, but it subsides. I have found that oil and water doesn't mix very well so I mix it with a small amount of honey mustard (mustard imulsifies oil) It tastes better and easier to swallow. Gargle twice and swallow. I guarantee this will cure a sore throat over night.

[YEA] I had been dealing with sinus issues for years and regularly used a neti pot with salt water to manage it. One of my yoga students is a master herbalist and I asked her for recommendations for building up the immune system of my asthmatic daughter. I had been concerned about her catching the swine flu as it was going through the school. She told me about Wild Oregano Oil being anti-viral,bacterial and anti-fungal. I also did some research online and found a ton of information on the benefits. Make sure it's wild and the high potency.
Not only do I believe it kept my daughter from getting full blown swine flu (she started to come down with the symptoms) but she no longer needs her inhaler. So we all started taking it and normally we all get sick by this time of year but we have managed to keep the funkies at bay with this amazing stuff.
I decided to try one drop in my neti pot against many posts that warned not to because of the heat of the oil. However, I came accross one that said they tried it and it burned no worse than getting a little chlorine in the nose. I decided to try it too and instantly felt relief after the initial slight burning ceased. I have not had an issue with my sinuses since.
FREEDOM for the first time in years! Which is a huge relief as a yoga instructor. It is liquid gold in our house! I truely can't say enough about it.We take one drop under the tounge in the the morning and at night. My kids and I just chase it with water but my husband has to mix it with juice even though he's the only one who can eat wasabi and hot peppers!

Also, (and you probably know this already) but we are speaking of oil of oregano (usually blended with olive oil) , NOT oregano essential oil.

Cruising sailors around the world will rejoice that members of a Danish family held hostage by Somali pirates for more than six months have been released. They are returning home after enduring 'the most horrible ordeal one can imagine', Danish government officials have said.
ING crew, the Johansen family - released at last after over six months in captivity with Somali pirates
Jan Quist Johansen, his wife, Birgit Marie, and their three teenage children were captured as well as two Danish crew members on 24 February when their 13 metre (47ft) yacht ING was seized by pirates in the Indian Ocean.
All seven were released on Tuesday and 'are doing well under the circumstances', Charlotte Slente, a Danish foreign ministry spokeswoman, said. 'They are in a plane on their way to Denmark,' she added.
Extensive negotiations between the pirates and the Danish government - and a reported payment of $3 million in ransom, according to the BBC - saw the seven Danes flying home on yesterday (Wednesday). They are said to be in relatively good health.
The family had been on the home leg of a round-the-world sailing trip begun in 2009. As with most cruising sailors, they had been trying to get to the Suez Canal in order to reach the Mediterranean, hoping to be back in Denmark by August.
Their Somalian captors had threatened to kill them if a rescue was attempted, as happened to four Americans on their yacht Quest just two days before the Johansens were seized. The Danish yacht was equipped with a computer and they had been blogging, revealing that they were aware of the Quest tragedy at the time of their kidnapping.
The following month soldiers from Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region died in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue the Danes.
However, Ms Slente declined to comment on the circumstances of the release, and would not confirm whether a ransom had been paid.
The Johansens are from Kalundborg, 75 miles west of Copenhagen. Their travel blog showed they were aware of the dangers, but did not expect to get into trouble and were comforted by the sight of anti-piracy forces patrolling the area.
News of their release was met with relief in their home town. 'The family very likely is aware that what they did was not so fortunate. They certainly feel pretty bad about it now,' Ole Meridin Petersen, the chairman of the Kalundborg Yacht Club, of which Johansen is a member, said.
Hostages are held in hot, austere conditions in Somalia – typically for many months – before a ransom is agreed on and paid and hijacked ships and crew released. Last year, British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler were released after just over a year in captivity. Unconfirmed reports indicated that a ransom in the region of $1m was paid for their release.
The Danish foreign minister, Lene Espersen, told the Danish Ritzau news agency that Denmark does not pay ransoms 'as a matter of principle,' adding that the family, not the ministry, had been negotiating with the pirates. The family was 'advised by professional negotiators', she said.
The prime minister, Lars Loekke Rasmussen, said negotiations carried on for 'a long period' before the hostages were freed.
'I am really happy on behalf of the family, which since 24 February has been through the most horrible ordeal one can imagine,' he said. 'It is important that we now give the family quiet and peace.'

Last week: 19 (-6) Record: 2-1 Remember how the Jets' chance to make the playoffs was on the conservative offense, good defense, don't make mistakes, easy schedule model? Yeah, that doesn't work if you can't play good defense and without Darrelle Revis, they're going to have a hard time doing so many of the things they normally do on defense. They also don't run the ball particularly well with mediocre back Shonn Greene now ceding carries to an unproven Bilal Powell and Mark Sanchez is as he's always been. They may be 2-1and in a tie for first in their division, but after needing luck and overtime to beat the Dolphins and losing Revis for the season, the Jets are looking pretty done. They rank 25th in the league in yards per play differential. They should just put Tebow in. He might not be an upgrade, but it would be so much more entertaining.

Phil Potter: Ice-age weapon takes down two deer during Missouri's season for firearms
Have you ever yearned to toss out high-tech equipment and go back to the basics of hunting using primal skills?
A Missouri hunter did just that and made history on Nov. 12 using an ancient hunting tool.
It wasn't a handmade bow. The weapon he chose dates back 400,000 years, long before bows were ever created. His hunting aid was an atlatl — the Stone Age answer to long range weaponry.
Atlatls brought down woolly mammoths, giant sloths and all the mega fauna of the Ice Age when early man upgraded from using spears after discovering that atlatls enabled the user to throw projectiles up to 150 yards at speeds of almost 100 miles per hour.
The atlatl consists of a throwing "hook," a 4- to 6-foot long, spear-tipped, projectile, and a hand-held socket. This device was used until the invention of the bow, which gave slightly greater range and better accuracy.
Luke Boenker, from Maryland Heights, Mo., is a long-time bow and gun hunter but decided to test himself by using primitive weapons. He fashioned his own atlatl and practiced for three months before taking it on a deer hunt.
On Nov. 12, he became the first officially recognized Missouri hunter to bag a four-point whitetail buck with such a device since Missouri included atlatls as a legal deer hunting method in 2010.
No, he didn't get a privileged number of days where he was afield when modern weaponry was not. Missouri atlatl deer hunters are allowed to use them only during all firearms deer seasons (except muzzleloader season).
On opening day of Missouri's 2011 firearms deer season, Boenker hunted from a tree stand and made modern history when he bagged his buck at 15 yards.
However, he wasn't the only Missourian to do so. Scott Rorebeck of Trenton took a deer on Nov. 13, effectively missing making history by only a few hours.
While some states do allow spears as legal hunting tools atlatls aren't generally included. Perhaps it seems too odd creating a modern hunting license for an Ice Age tool.
Christmas habitat
Oh Christmas tree, there are post Christmas uses for thee. Weigh and sink them in strategic lake and river locations to serve as fish attractors.
Fashion "tree teepees" by binding several together and stand them upright for bird shelters or bundle several in a horizontal fashion to create escape habitat for rabbits and quail.
Use them in wash-outs to stop erosion. Spruce and pine tree needles readily grab and hold soil particles effectively building dams against soil loss.
For best results stake or tamp the trees in crevices.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Stan Kaczmarek, spent seven years at Johnson & Johnson Inc. and was the director of global environmental affairs. Mr. Kaczmarek's position was eliminated in June 2007. Previously, he owned an environmental consulting firm, and worked for Exxon Research and Engineering Co. He earned a masters degree in environmental engineering from Cornell University in 1982. Mr. Kaczmarek lives in Colonia, New Jersey.
I became an environmental engineer because I wanted to "do well by doing good." Getting laid off did not change my goal, only the tools available to reach it. So I started pursuing three parallel paths to re-establish myself, yet had three frustratingly similar results.
On the first path I decided to write a book to fulfill a lifelong dream: making a difference with words that inspire. But it soon became apparent that no publisher would even consider what I was writing unless I already had a platform as a recognized expert and leader — family and former co-workers did not count.
Regina Itliong was an executive assistant at Stanford Financial Group before being laid off in March 2009. Previously, Ms. Itliong, 29, worked as client administrator for Neuberger Berman LLC and spent almost four years at HSBC Bank. She graduated from Manhattan College with an undergraduate degree in psychology in 2000. Ms. Itliong lives in West New York, New Jersey.
After losing my position at Neuberger Berman which was under the Lehman Brothers umbrella, I was hired at a small investment bank in October 2008. I was grateful that my Series 7 license was taken on and that my months of study would not go to waste. I accepted an executive assistant role for the investment-banking technology team — relieved like the rest of my newly hired colleagues to find a place to ride out the recession. The feeling was short-lived. The boutique investment bank I joined was Stanford Financial, now splashed with scandal as its owner was accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
With a bankruptcy filing and a scandal within a span of six months, the names on my resume are now working against me and the economy is not looking any better. Before, a license was an advantage but now it's a double-edged sword. The 7 makes me look too ambitious for the position. And why match my salary when there are candidates willing to work for half the price? I joke around comparing myself to Wall Street stock — I am now selling myself cheap.
Ann Reynolds is a 2009 graduate of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
There were two straight weeks in early July when I was convinced that the internet on my laptop was a black hole. Emails sent out to firms and contacts that had advertised job openings garnered no response. Online applications, like my unanswered emails, resulted in no leads. Alas, as I was still receiving spam, I faced the reality that there was no virus to blame for my lack of prospects. I painfully began to recognize that looking beyond my comfort zone at less desirable career paths might be the only way that I gain employment before 2010.
Two years at a top business school had painted the picture of my being able to land almost any job upon graduation. The first year of business school, when the economy was more agreeable, my classmates and I were confident that our choosing to attain an MBA was a very smart decision in terms of our long-term strategic viability. According to various professional and academic representatives of the MBA community at large, not only would we would graduate a more erudite bunch of individuals but also, the sheer fact that an MBA would soon be on our resumes would enable professional opportunities and moves that would not be possible in its absence. Specifically, the so-desired industry switch that many of us were chasing seemed an easy and unproblematic outcome. Explicit examples of past Booth alums who had made such moves were prolific and citable across multiple industries and many situations. Of course, my classmates and I knew that we'd ultimately be responsible for making the switch successful but the MBA was supposed to make the initial opportunity available (and it did work out for a few of my classmates).
Andrew Winkler was an analyst for Johnson Associates Inc., a financial services compensation consulting firm, before he was laid off January 2009 after one year. Previously, Mr. Winkler, 26, was an associate portfolio manager at AllianceBernstein LP, an investment management firm. He holds a political science degree from Rutgers University and is currently an intern at Telsey Advisory Group LLC , an equity research firm.
I was riding high after the holidays ended in 2008, looking forward to the New Year and saving for my upcoming wedding. I never thought I'd be laid off. Again.
I first was laid off back in 2007 from AllianceBernstein due to the fact that our division there was being upgraded technologically and they really didn't need the extra manpower. The stories from other individuals let go trickled out before, during, and after my time on the chopping block. It was a real big blow to the ego. I thought I'd have a job within two weeks tops — I wasn't too over or under qualified, I thought I could jump right back into the workforce. It took me from June 2007 to January 2008 to have a full-time offer in my hand.
Matt Volke, 30, was a writer for the Office of Advancement Communications at the University of Rochester until being laid off in March. Previously, Mr. Volke worked as a newspaper reporter. He graduated from State University of New York at Buffalo State College in 2002 with a journalism degree.
The only good thing I got out of getting laid off was a cold glass of beer.
After a tense meeting in the Advancement Division at the University of Rochester, where our senior vice president told us layoffs would be coming in the near future, I bet a co-worker that if I got laid off, she'd owe me a beer.
It was the kind of bet I hoped to lose.
I wasn't feeling confident, though, after that meeting, despite our vice president's assurances that he was doing everything he could to make the layoffs through attrition and that staff would do "everything they could" to place us in new jobs elsewhere in the university.
The University of Rochester, like many organizations and companies, has a policy that is supposed to give preference to laid off workers for openings. I felt reassured that even if I did get laid off, with my experience in journalism and higher education in communications, that I would land another job at the U of R. After all, it's Rochester's largest employer and something was bound to open up.
The representative from human resources was very helpful after I was recently laid off. He helped me spruce up my resume and job interview skills, and when I applied for job openings, he would send the person in charge of finding candidates an email that included the university's policy on re-hiring laid off workers.
These days, being laid off means your job search will last much longer than the several months you once expected in a healthy economy. And if you're looking for a more senior role, experts point out that the wait will be even more significant. Still, there are strategies that senior-level managers can do to shorten the search, writes WSJ's Toddi Gutner. For one, trim unnecessary experience off your resume so potential employers do not regard you as overqualified.
Here, Ms. Gutner reports on additional strategies for senior-level job hunters (read the full Careers Q&A):
Q: I am 55 and was laid off from a 28-year corporate communications career a little over a year ago. Since then I've answered ads for more than 400 open positions in my field, attended networking meetings, job fairs, and in general, done what I can to find a new position. I'm even willing to relocate. I've only been invited for face-to-face interviews six times. Most openings I see seek employees with only three to five years of experience, occasionally seven to 10 years, and few with 10-plus years. With my experience, employers do the math and figure I'm too old or expensive. What do you suggest I do?
A: As you well know, you're not alone. The market is flooded with senior professionals just like yourself. But there are ways you can stand out and increase your odds of success.
First, you need to develop a strategic plan for your job search. It doesn't sound like you've got one at this point. Indiscriminately sending out resumes, like the 400 ads you answered, means you're likely going after a lot of low-level positions.
Start by identifying employers that value your particular background and skills, advises Sheryl Spanier, an executive career management consultant at Spanier & Co. in New York City. "You need to be clear about what you have to offer and who might be interested," she says.
Amy Gutman was laid off in April 2009 after spending four years at Harvard University, most recently as a special assistant of communications to the dean at Harvard Law School. Previously, she was a full-time novelist and also practiced law. Ms. Gutman earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1993.
Last January, it didn't come as a surprise to learn that my boss would soon decamp to D.C. to become the U.S. Solicitor General —nor did it take me long to figure out that my job would decamp with her. As a special assistant to Harvard Law School's dean my job was closely tied to a single person. Not exactly your typical layoff situation, but the end result was the same.
The big remaining question: What to do next? Strive to carve out some other Harvard niche, to stay employed at all costs? Or accept that the time had come to move on and start shutting down shop? It's no exaggeration to say that I agonized over this choice. Should I stay or should I go?
Rebecca Hession, 43, is a senior client partner for FranklinCovey Co. and has been with the company for nine years. She holds an undergraduate business degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Last spring, Ms. Hession's husband, Blaine Hession, 40, was laid off from a territory sales manager role at a manufacturers representative firm for telecommunications-related products. He spent more than two years with the company and spent 11 years in the telecommunications industry. They live with in Atlanta, IN.
Two months after we moved into our dream home with two children, a dog and a cat, my husband lost his job; clearly not an ideal situation. Luckily we hadn't spent every dime we had building this dream home. I still had a good job and we had cash in the bank. That was last year. He is still looking for a new career and the savings is more piggy bank sized than nest egg sized. My pay is based on sales which, like most industries, are down pretty significantly. We call this time in our life our journey of job loss — it's helped us discover so much about ourselves.
Andrew Malkin, 41, spent almost two years as a vice president of trade book sales at Rodale, Inc. His job was eliminated in November. Previously, he spent almost 20 years in marketing and sales positions in trade book publishing. He received an M.B.A. from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management in 2001. Mr. Malkin lives in Fairfield, Connecticut with his wife and two young children.
In hindsight, I suspect I could have landed this job earlier had I not made the assumption that just because a company has recently laid off personnel, it would not be staffing up in any areas whatsoever. Last November, I met someone in my outplacement executive networking group who had previously worked at Zinio, a company that distributes books and magazines in digital format. I was quite familiar with Zinio through a partnership agreement at my previous employer, where Zinio had digitized titles from our magazine and book catalog. However, because of my skepticism toward imminent hiring opportunities, I waited three months to ask a previous direct report of mine for the name of a point person and an introduction to him. When I had made the connection, I went onto LinkedIn to figure out several key things. I wanted to know who from the company had an active profile, what was the scope of their connections (and recommendations), and details about their role, accomplishments and prior employers.
Jeff Bronikowski was a senior vice president of business development at the Universal Music Group, a recorded-music company, before his position was eliminated earlier this year. Mr. Bronikowski, 39, also worked for HBO. He graduated from Georgetown University in 1992 and earned his M.B.A. from New York University's Stern School of Business in 1999. He lives in Summit, New Jersey.
During the last several years at Universal Music Group, I met with literally hundreds of small companies that wanted to utilize UMG's vast music catalog to build their businesses. I was often struck by the entrepreneurial zeal, the enthusiasm and the esprit de corps that the CEOs and employees of these start-ups exhibited. In typical 'grass is always greener' fashion, I felt that if I ever left UMG, it would probably be for a much smaller, start-up company where I could unleash my own entrepreneurial energy, drive new business opportunities and help run the company with considerably more speed and agility than is possible at most large companies.
I was fortunate to leave UMG with enough time remaining on my employment contract that I could take time to think about the kind of opportunities that I felt would most interest me–music or non-music digital media or physical products? Should I pursue business and corporate development or more operational roles? But one of the more interesting questions with which I wrestle with is whether I would enjoy working for a small company after spending my entire 17-year career in large organizations.
For me, the biggest thing to consider is the change that would invariably come from being on the other side of the table (i.e., working for a small company with little leverage, little name recognition and as is often the case in digital media, little true marketplace differentiation). At UMG, for example, I had the world's largest recorded music catalog and $6 billion of annual revenue behind me.

"Miracle for curls!"
Liz on 12/10/2014 6:11:13 PM
Review Text: I wasn't sure if this was for African American hair only because of its placement on the shelf at the store but the ingredients seemed promising. I'm Caucasian with wavy, curly hair and this product is absolutely the best product I've ever used for soft, non-sticky, leave-in conditioning that produces lovely natural curls. Believe me, I've tried all sorts of products and this one works the best so far!
Erika on 6/13/2012 2:47:09 PM
Review Text: This is the only thing I've been able to use on my daughter's hair that releases the tangles and curls her hair beautifully. This is a "must buy" for naturally curly hair.

Review Text: I just ordered your entire line for my hair & my 2 year old's after using an entire bottle of this reviving tonic with great results! This tonic worked wonders for making my little redhead's fine curls absolutely beautiful! Bouncy & shiny & full! So wonderful. My hair, also curly, responded to this product as well. So happy to finally have found a natural product that WORKS. Thank you.
"Love this and All Alaffia Products!"

Review Text: I started buying raw shea butter from Agbanga 5 or 6 years ago. I've watched the company grow and expand with new product lines, and tried new products as they came out. I just bought the tonic yesterday and love it on my fine, blonde, sightly wavy Caucasian hair! This company has helped me achieve my goal of only using products on my body that I would not be afraid to eat. Thank you so much!
"Who'd a thunk?"
Marie on 4/13/2011 1:49:48 PM
Review Text: I don't know if this was formulated especially for African-American hair, but it works wonders on my wavy Caucasian hair. I just spray it on when hair is damp and hand scrunch till it's dry. Allows me 2-3 days of full hair that reactivates with just a spritz of water. AND your hands never feel sticky or dry after applying it like they do with non-natural products. Amazing stuff.

Marine officer: The situation with the commandant is worse than you think
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A Marine officer wrote to me about the situation with General Amos. "It's near open insubordination," he told me. "He has lost control, and Ray Mabus either is clueless or doesn't give a f*** about the soul of the Marine Corps." Some very rough stuff on Facebook about him, too. On the other hand, here are some heartfelt words of support for Amos.
Support him or not, General Amos does seem to me the most troubled commandant since P.X. Kelley back in the mid and late 1980s, with the Ollie North mess, the Marine embassy guards in Moscow scandal, and most of all, the Beirut barracks bombing. I just hope that they pick a good general to succeed him. But I am told there is little indication that either Mabus, or Amos and the yes men around him, is going in that direction.
In what appears to be related news, I am seeing smoke signals on the horizon west of I-95 indicating new troubles at the Basic School. Anyone wanna enlighten me on why the captains are so unhappy there, according to the recent survey on command climate? My e-mail address is right at the bottom of this link. You probably don't wanna send the info from your office computer, OK?

A's Only 100% Gluten-free, Casein-free and Kosher* Bakery. Hand-Crafted Artisanal Breads and Deliciously Decadent Desserts.< read all 2 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
100% Gluten-free
We ask for written guarantees from all our suppliers testifying to the gluten-free-ness of all our ingredients. (Except for produce, like the carrots. But we wash those thoroughly.)
We buy our flour from Authentic Foods (except for a few things from Bob's, from their gluten-free line.) (Oh, and we get certified gluten-free oat flour and rolled oats from Only Oats in Canada.)
Our employees don't bring any gluten-containing food into the premises, not even for a minute.
Kosher-Parve = Dairy/Casein-Free
Everything we use (again, except for fresh produce, like carrots) is certified kosher-parve. That means no meat, poultry, pork, or shellfish. That also means no casein, no lactose – no MILK derivatives of any kind. We use EGGS – they aren't considered dairy in kosher terms – but we try to keep an assortment of egg-free/VEGAN items at all times.
Base ingredients
All our baked goods start with our base blend of California-grown brown-rice flour and tapioca starch. We may add potato starch, corn starch, sweet rice flour, millet flour, certified-gluten-free oat flour, organic amaranth flour or organic quinoa flakes. We don't currently offer any rice-free or tapioca-free baked goods, sorry to say.
What about soy?
Instead of butter we use this really great stuff called Earth Balance margarine. It's 100% vegan, non-hydrogenated, non-gmo, but it does contain soy in the "vegetable oil blend." We use it in the ...

Aviva Premiership: Danny Cipriani on form as Sale beat Wasps
Last Updated: 20/09/13 10:57pm
Danny Cipriani: Had a hand in all of Sale's scoring things
Stand-off Danny Cipriani came off the bench to inspire Sale to a 26-22 victory over Wasps at AJ Bell Stadium.
Cipriani replaced Nick Macleod after 19 minutes and racked up 21 points against his former club before the Sharks withstood a late fightback from the visitors.
Cipriani, who was playing his first game of the season having been left out of the previous two matches, scored one try and set up another while also kicking four penalties and two conversions.
Wasps fought back well from a 17-point deficit as Ashley Johnson and Josh Bassett touched down and they were also awarded a penalty try, but Sale held on in the closing stages.
The hosts were dealt a blow before kick-off as James Gaskell and Dwayne Peel pulled up in the warm-up.
After a scrappy start to the match Cipriani entered the fray for the injured Macleod, the seven-time capped England international kicking the first points after an infringement at a lineout.
Goode then levelled matters with a three-pointer of his own before Sale produced their most coherent attack of the half when Cueto, Tom Brady and Andy Forsyth combined.
Wasps were now under severe pressure and they eventually succumbed as Cueto powered through some flimsy tackling to score the first try of the contest.
Cipriani converted and also added a penalty late in the half to take the Sharks into a 13-3 lead at the interval.
Sale took the momentum in the second half as Cipriani jinked his way over the try-line after 48 minutes. The conversion was also slotted over to give the home side a 20-3 lead.
However, to their credit Wasps battled back and reduced the deficit when a maul ended in Johnson crossing the whitewash.
Cipriani then kicked another penalty, but it was Wasps who were now in the ascendancy thanks to their driving game and referee Tim Wigglesworth awarded a penalty try after the Sharks buckled before Bassett crossed with nine minutes left.
Andy Goode had the chance to snatch the lead but his conversion missed and Cipriani secured the win with another three-pointer when Wasps attempted to go from deep and infringed at the breakdown.

That's where ontology comes in.
"The philosophical definition of ontology is the study of things that exist and how they relate to each other," says Ceusters, who also is director of the Ontology Research Group of UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences. "I am a person and you are a person so we share something. Suppose I drop dead. What lies on the floor? Is that still a person? If it is no longer a person, is it still the very same thing that was sitting here as a person but now is a corpse?"
Ceusters says that in much the same way, definitions of pain and especially of chronic pain need to be much more precise; ontology provides methods of distinguishing among categories and describing data in uniform and formal ways.
While the philosophical approach to ontology naturally has its roots in ancient Greece, a computational approach to ontology began in the latter part of the 20th century, when computer scientists interested in artificial intelligence wanted to create software programs that perform reasoning they way humans do. To do so, they began to draw on ontology.
"Here at the University at Buffalo, we excel at combining the two approaches; we have a very strong foundation in the philosophical approach to ontology with Barry Smith, who is a pioneer in contemporary ontology, especially related to biomedical applications," says Ceusters, "while we also have a very strong presence in computational approaches, especially to biomedical ontology. These computational approaches allow us to devise systems of communication in which there is a consistent meaning for terms used in different language systems and conceptual frameworks."
With the $793,571 NIH grant, Ceusters and colleagues will study data gathered from thousands of patients in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Sweden, Israel and Germany who suffer from oral and facial pain,

Man takes plea deal in father's death
Botello's murder trial was scheduled to start Monday
CORPUS CHRISTI - A Corpus Christi man took a plea deal for 20 years in prison on Thursday for killing his father last year.
Christopher Botello, 23, had been set to face trial next week on a murder charge in 105th District Court.
Botello instead pleaded guilty to the lesser offense of involuntary manslaughter, a second-degree felony, before Magistrate Judge Melissa Madrigal.
If convicted of murder, he would have faced as long as life in prison.
Botello was accused in the Sept. 27 death of his father, Juan Botello, 58.
Police responded to an assault call that day in the 4800 block of Cynthia Street and found the elder Botello unconscious inside a home.
Witnesses told police Christopher Botello had been arguing with his grandmother, and that Juan Botello came to the home to resolve the dispute.
Police said the two men argued and the son knocked the father to the ground, kicked him in the abdomen and delivered blows to his face.
The autopsy found he died of massive internal bleeding.
District Attorney Carlos Valdez said it was a tough case because the victim and the defendant were family.
There also was a question of whether it could be proven an intentional killing, an element required for a murder conviction, he said.
"The family would've preferred something less but we thought because of the circumstances this was appropriate," he said.

Washington to join international talks with Iran "from now on"
- By Laura RozenLaura Rozen writes The Cable daily at ForeignPolicy.com.
The United States today announced that it would join international talks with Iran on its nuclear program. The announcement came at the conclusion of meetings in London Wednesday of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany (the P5+1). The international group said it would extend an invitation to Iran to participate in future talks.
"On the nuclear issue, the U.S. remains committed to the P-5+1 process," State Department spokesman Robert Wood said. "What is different is that the U.S. will join P-5+1 discussions with Iran from now on."
Last July, after previously insisting Iran must suspend enriching uranium before the United States would participate in talks with it, the Bush administration sent a diplomat to Geneva to attend international discussions that included Iran. But the Bush administration instructed the American official, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns, to observe, but not participate with his Iranian counterpart. His presence was to be a one-time affair, at which Iran could take or leave an international offer of inducements in exchange for giving up its uranium enrichment program.
Wood said today Washington's approach going forward would be more sustained diplomatic engagement. "A diplomatic solution necessitates a willingness to engage directly with each other on the basis of mutual respect and mutual interest," he said.
"If Iran accepts, we hope this will be the occasion to seriously engage Iran on how to break the logjam of recent years and work in a cooperative manner to resolve the outstanding international concerns about its nuclear program," Wood said.
State Department sources said the phones were ringing off the hooks with interest over the news.
But Gary Sick, a former NSC Iran hand, told Foreign Policy the announcement was wholly in line with what the Obama people have been saying from the beginning. "Basically, you can talk about [engagement] in the abstract." Today's announcement, he said, signals "they are actually going to do this."
"My big question is whether the Obama administration thought about whether to go right into negotiations now before the Iranian elections in June," Sick continued. "My own sense is in the meantime, there are a number of steps to be taken. They can have preliminary meetings about the shape of the table, who has a copy of the agenda," etc.
The Obama administration's Iran policy to date seems "an extension and intensification of trends of the previous administration," said Patrick Clawson, deputy director of research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "This crowd is still feeling their way. I assume that the style we see emerging of not making dramatic changes in policy, rolling out the president to reach out to people — that they see this as an effective instrument. I don't see a dramatic change," but more incremental and stylistic ones.
The State Department said it did not have an exact date or location of the next planned P5+1 meeting to which Iran would be invited to come. One official said he expected it to occur within the next couple of months. It wasn't yet clear Iran would accept the invitation.
Analysts said that while Obama had recently made statements saying he would support a peaceful nuclear energy program in Iran, the administration was still not showing its hand about whether it would tolerate Iran enriching its own fuel for such a program. The Bush administration as well as U.S. allies including France and Britain have previously insisted that any sort of nuclear fuel for such an Iranian program be supplied from outside Iran. Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium on its own soil under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, to which it is a signatory.
"So far, we don't know if there have been other substantive shifts on the position of how to resolve this issue," said Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council. "But it will be more difficult to resolve if the U.S. is not there."
"We will support Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy with rigorous inspections," Obama said in Prague last weekend. "That's a path that the Islamic Republic can take."
Administration officials said the review of U.S. policy toward Iran is ongoing. But Iran policy watchers noted signs of decisions reached on a number of policy steps that have emerged in recent actions. Beyond today's announcement, they pointed to U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke's meeting last week with an Iranian official on the sidelines of the Afghanistan conference in The Hague, and Obama's Iranian New Year's video message addressed to both the Iranian people and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Obama administration's sustained overtures seem to be stirring Iranian domestic debate. In a live broadcast television speech today, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad echoed language from Obama's video message and an earlier interview with Al Arabiya television, in which Obama talked about "mutual respect" and extending a hand to countries that unclench their fist. "The Iranian people would welcome a hand extended to it if the hand is truly based on honesty," Ahmadinejad was cited.
"Ahmadinejad is very worried that he is going to be outflanked," by presidential rivals calling for accepting Washington's invitation to engage, commented Sick. Obama "has changed the terms of the debate," inside Iran, he said. "People now feel obliged to talk about this issue and to try to outdo each other."
Washington was represented at the P5+1 meetings in London today by Under Secretary Burns. He was accompanied by the NSC senior director on Iran and Persian Gulf issues Puneet Talwar.
Sources said they believed that the NSC's Talwar, who previously worked as a Middle East advisor to Vice President Joseph Biden when he was Senate Foreign Relations committee chairman, has influence on the emerging U.S. policy towards Iran. Some said they saw signs that U.S. policy toward Iran was emanating more from the White House than the State Department.

He also played a key part in the Post's diplomatic reporting on the Iraq war, the International Criminal Court, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and U.S. counterterrorism strategy. Lynch's enterprise reporting has explored the underside of international diplomacy. His investigations have uncovered a U.S. spying operation in Iraq, Dick Cheney's former company's financial links to Saddam Hussein, and documented numerous sexual misconduct and corruption scandals.
Lynch has appeared frequently on the Lehrer News Hour, MSNBC, NPR radio, and the BBC. He has also moderated public discussions on foreign policy, including interviews with Susan E. Rice, the U.S. national security advisor, Gerard Araud, France's U.N. ambassador, and other senior diplomatic leaders.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Lynch received a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1985 and a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in 1987. He previously worked for the Boston Globe.| Turtle Bay |
