A wave of repression is currently taking place in Cuba – but you wouldn't know about it from the lack of media coverage. Why is the press at home and abroad ignoring blatant human rights violations? Why has the Obama Administration consistently coddled dictators like Castro? And, what should our elected leaders be saying about Cuba and these human rights abuses?

Based in derry, ulster, Ireland.Copyright 2009 - 2011 castledawsongac.com All rights reserved.Back to Winning Ways! Sport (Derry Post) Steven Doherty reports from Pairc Brid Dawson back to winning ways Steelstown 0-13 - Castledawson 0-15 CLUB stalwart and former county player Paul O'Hea was the surprise wearer of the bainisteoir's bib in the Steelstown dug-out at the start of this game. Former manager Gary Duffy and his team severed ties with the Ballyarnett club in the build up to this game citing a lack of commitment from the players, with O'Hea stepping in as the immediate interim manager of a side many believed would be competing for top honours this season. A debilitating back injury has robbed the Brian Og's of one of their key players in O'Hea for the last couple of years, but when the call was made to step up to the managerial hot seat the talented defender couldn't refuse. The new man at the helm has some work to do as the club begin their gear up towards that hot championship date with Ballymaguigan in the first weekend in August. O'Hea will, however, be pleased with a number of aspects in yesterday's defeat. Not least of all is the huge squadron of players at his disposal on Sunday all willing and able to play for him, and his team's fighting spirit to battle back from 0-11 to 0-5 down shortly after the break to pull level with five minutes to go. Indeed, had it not been for the dismissal of top scorer Mark Foley in the 45th minute, Steelstown will believe they could well have gone on and won this encounter. Castledawson came into this game off the back of four straight defeats, but gradually beginning to look more and more like the team that won the Sheridan, Bateson and Lee Cup two years ago, the visitors grabbed a tight grip of the game from the start. Wave after wave of white-shirted attacks rained down on the over-worked Steelstown defence, but a series of wides left Castledawson only 0-2 to no score up after ten minutes. The first of five Mark Foley frees finally opened Steelstown's account in the 11th minute and then a Mickey McKinney point soon after left the home side just 0-3 to 0-2 down. But after that Castledawson began to make their dominance count on the scoreboard. Two Paddy Henry frees sandwiched a brace of Aidy Bradley points as St Malachy's threatened to run away with matters, and led 0-7 to 0-2 after 25 minutes. But just at their darkest hour, Steelstown responded and were the better side in the run-in to half-time. Three consecutive points from the left feet of both Mark Foley and Andy Moore trimmed the 'Dawson lead to just two, before a Connor Scullion free in first half injury left Philip Bradley's team 0-8 to 0-5 up at the break. Half-time 0-5 to 0-8 Steelstown repeated the same sluggish start to the second half as the first and found themselves six points adrift by the time Aidan McElhone and Ruairi Shivers (with two) raised early second half white flags. There was more than a hint of controversy about the first of Shivers' points, the ball having appeared to curl several feet wide of the left post. But far from cry over spilled milk, the Brian Og's produced their best spell of the game. Four in a row from Foley, Gareth Logue, Foley again and Neil Forester left Steelstown two adrift at 0-11 to 0-9. But disaster soon struck. An off the ball clash between Gareth Logue and Paddy Henry resulted in yellow cards for both players but, more crucially, a red for Mark Foley which left the home side with fourteen men for the last quarter and robbed them of their free-taker. However, despite their numerical disadvantage, Steelstown were on the march and pulled level at 0-12 each with five to go thanks to points from Oran Sweeney and a fine brace from substitute Ryan Devine. But with the finish line in clear sight, Castledawson upped the ante once more and pulled three ahead thanks to three quick points from Micky Hicks, Aidan McElhone, with a terrific free, and a third of the morning from evergreen Ruairi Shivers. St Malachy's assistant manager Willie McAteer said that while the club may not have a star forward, what they do boast is half a dozen players that will weigh in with two or three points in any given game. Conor Scullion, Aidan Keenan, Aidy Bradley and Ruairi Shivers all shouldered their fair share of points. And when you supplement that forward line with a further five points from the boots of free-taker Paddy Henry and midfielder Aidan McElhone that only seems to undeline McAteer's argument. Steelstown rallied but Castledawson defended stoutly and showed great resolve when the gun was put to their head. Manus McAllister, Nial Keenan and Brian Ludlow were all heroic under some late pressure, and the major the home team sought never really threatened to materialise. As the last throw of the die in an absorbing contest Ryan Devine lobbed in one dangerous late free and while Emmett Deane rose highest to fist the ball, his shot cleared the crossbar for a point. Castledawson held on for a deserved two point win, and a return to winning ways.

They departed on Friday morning at 7am and were hosted by Mungret St Paul's. After a long drive down we were treated to a lovely meal in the host club. The team played two games that evening against Clann Na Gael(Tyrone) and Askeaton/Ballysteen. Both games were very competitive and on Saturday they played Mungret St Paul's. The boys really enjoyed the pre match parade and the match resulted in a two point defeat. The team had qualified for the quarter final on Saturday afternoon against Limerick opposition, Knockaderry. After a great performance and a Tom McLarnon goal, the team came out on top to reach the semi final. The scenes of celebration at the final whistle were worth the trip alone. They then travelled to the parade in Newcastle West and the boys certainly enjoyed what was a splendid occasion. The parents and children were then honoured at the club with a special presentation night. On Sunday morning, the boys travelled to Rathkeale to play the semi-final against our host club, Mungret. After a brilliant game, it was the Castledawson boys helped by an early Connor Stuart goal who came out victorious by two points. In the final, they faced Dublin team, Thomas Davies. By now the tired legs kicked in and unfortunately they ran out of steam and were defeated. Disappointed players were met by supportive parents. We would like to thank everyone who helped make what was a fantastic weekend. This includes the players, management and the parents and family who travelled such a long distance to support them. The club is very appreciative of everyone's efforts and the memories will long live in everyone's minds. A special thanks to our host club, Mungret St Pauls for their help and hospitality all weekend.

We are becoming more aware as an EMS community that there are significant costs to our physical and mental health associated with our work. We need to continue to talk about those costs in order to increase awareness and decrease the stigma associated with asking for help.
In addition to talking about traumatic stress, we need to better understand what places EMS providers at risk for developing a work-related stress reaction like post-traumatic stress.
The quick answer is there is no quick answer.
Whether or not you develop a post-traumatic stress reaction, depression or burnout as a result of working in EMS depends on a wide variety of personal, professional and situational factors. However, researchers have made some progress at understanding what might aggravate that risk.
Stress in EMS
Ever since Jeffrey Mitchell's seminal article in 1983, we have known that critical incidents can lead to stress reactions like post-traumatic stress.
Critical incidents have broadly been described as "any situation faced by emergency services personnel that causes them to experience unusually strong emotional reactions which have the potential to interfere with their ability to function either at the scene or later. Multiple studies have identified a relationship between critical incidents and post-traumatic stress in EMS [1]."
But is that the whole story? Are tragic, unexpected and chaotic scenes the only problem?
What about the more chronic stresses associated with EMS, the stress that is constant day in and day out, including shift work, conflict with administration, low pay and missing your family?
In 2010, I conducted a study to see if it were possible to capture a picture of what the biggest traumatic stress risk factors were for EMS personnel. Supported by the NREMT, 12,000 EMTs and paramedics were invited to complete a survey that asked about critical-incident stress, alcohol use and post-traumatic stress symptomatology (PTSS).
Nearly one-third (30.8 percent) of survey responses came from fire-based EMS personnel. Another quarter (25.3 percent) of the responses came from private for-profit departments. The remaining responses were third-service (7 percent), private non-profit (14.6 percent), volunteer (10.2 percent) and other types (12.1 percent) EMS personnel.
Service type, as well as some of the other collected data, was not included in the article published in Prehospital Emergency Care.
We also asked about two kinds of chronic stress — organizational stress (the stresses associated with working within a specific EMS agency) and operational stress (the stress of working in EMS regardless of the service).
We found that operational stress, organizational stress, critical incident stress, alcohol use and post-traumatic stress all correlated with one other in a statistically significant way.
Statistical significance means that the observed relationship between the three factors is not due to chance; as levels of chronic stress or critical incident stress increase, there also is an increase in levels of post-traumatic stress. Interestingly, chronic stress more strongly correlated with PTSS than critical incident stress did.
While previous research has been based on the premise that exposure to critical incidents is the culprit for PTSS in EMS personnel, these findings indicate that high levels of chronic stress may also be influential on levels of post-traumatic stress. So the picture is more complicated than just debriefing after a bad call.
Even more alarming, we found that high levels of chronic operational stress in combination with high levels of critical incident stress and high levels of chronic operational stress in combination with greater alcohol use was significantly associated with higher levels of post-traumatic stress.
What does this mean?
What this research indicates is that the relationship between work stress and post-traumatic stress in EMS go beyond the bad calls. Being stressed out because of your workplace or because of the structure of EMS work — changing shifts, being away from your family, fatigue — is also associated significantly associated with post-traumatic stress.
While we have a better picture of what might cause a stress reaction, we still lack a good body of evidence to let us know the best ways to increase resilience and mitigate stress reactions. We need to come together as a professional and academic community to do a better job of protecting EMS personnel from work-related stress.
This may come in the form of more education, increasing access to employee assistance programs and other support services, and continuing the important dialogue started by organizations like the Code Green Campaign and #IVEGOTYOURBACK911.
In terms of research, we need to develop and evaluate evidence-based interventions to increase resilience, including best practices for developing a peer support team and disseminating stress management curricula.
While it may not be possible to prevent everyone from developing a stress reaction, researchers need to focus attention on ways to support EMS personnel before they start suffering.

The fire department responded to a man threatening to jump from a bridge. The incident stretched out over more than 14 hours. During that time, one firefighter used the department union's Twitter account to post updates. He also posted videos to YouTube.
The trouble began when some in the mental health community called out the fire department for insensitive language used in the posts.
Obviously, there is a lot that has been and will be said about the right and wrong ways to represent the fire department on social media outlets. But that's not what jumped out at me in this story.
The local reporter was sharp enough to ask if this was a training problem — were firefighters properly trained to handle suicidal patients?
The answer is that it is a training issue and they were not prepared for it.
And it is not exclusively a Huntington issue. The report said many firefighters in West Virginia are not trained to handle suicide cases. And it's no great leap of the imagination to see how this lack of training extends to many parts of the United States.
In short, it's not this firefighter's, this department's or this state's problem. It is our problem.
It may not be the greatest problem facing fire and EMS personnel, but it is a problem — and a growing one at that. In 2014, Illinois reported that 72 percent of that state's suicide deaths occurred in the home. Whether it is at home, work or a public setting — other than police — fire and EMS are first on scene.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reports that the rate of suicides in this country has increased every year between 2005 and 2014, the last year it posted statistics for. In addition to being the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., for every suicide death, there are about 25 attempted suicides.
That 25-to-1 ratio makes me think of commercial fire alarms and the vast number that are false alarms. Those on slower departments are constantly reminding themselves to treat every alarm as a real one so as to not be lulled into complacency.
Where familiarity breeds contempt with false alarms, the calls for suicidal patients may be a case of both familiarity and unfamiliarity breeding contempt.
Are we too quick to assume that teen with a bottle of pills is only threatening suicide because she wants attention, or that the neighborhood drunk is always doing some "damned crazy thing?"
It comes back to a training thing. When we're not trained to recognize and handle suicidal patients, we naturally assign our own meaning to the situations.
Fortunately, the fire service is paying closer attention to suicide in an effort to reduce it in our own ranks. Fire Chief, EMS1 and FireRescue1 has devoted a lot of energy to covering this issue — and I'm happy to say, so too have our competitors.
Suicide recognition and response training
This attention is hopefully a gateway to improve overall suicide recognition and response training. One recommendation from the Illinois Department of Health is to include this training as part of the academy and annual refresher training like CPR — this suggestion mirrors that for teaching firefighters about their own mental health.
The Illinois Department of Health offers these four recommendations for first responders.
1. Ensure the safety of everyone present
This includes eliminating access to lethal means. If available, contact law enforcement who are trained in suicide prevention to intervene. Law enforcement officers should be aware of the dangers of a "suicide by cop" situation, where a suicidal person threatens harm to others in attempt to provoke officers to fire at him or her
2. Assess the person for need of medical treatment
Address any serious medical needs first, and if not equipped to handle mental health issues, involve somebody who is, such as a mental health clinician or crisis intervention worker. If not aware of the appropriate professional to contact, ask a supervisor for direction.
3. Establish rapport with the person
Listen carefully and speak with the person in a non-confrontational manner.
4. Assess the person for risk of suicide
Determine whether an attempt has already been made while keeping them under constant observation. If the person is suicidal, arrange for them to be transported to a local hospital or mental health center.
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin ceremoniously signed Senate Bill 43, also known as the John Mackey Memorial Act, Thursday in the Kentucky Capitol in front of the Mackey family, Mackey's EMS family at Jessamine County EMS, and representatives from the Kentucky Ambulance Providers Association and the Kentucky Board of EMS, extending some line-of-duty death benefits to many Kentucky EMS personnel next month.
"This was one of the easiest bills to sign," Governor Bevin said.
"This has taken almost a decade to have people realize that EMS is inherently dangerous at times as other emergency responders," Thomas Adams, president of the Kentucky Ambulance Providers Association, said.
The bill originally would have amended KRS 61.315 to make the survivors of emergency medical services providers who are killed in the line of duty on or after July 1, 2014, eligible for the state lump-sum death benefit. However, the bill was amended on February 24 in the Senate to define "emergency medical services provider" as "emergency medical services personnel" and to clarify that it applies to individuals employed directly by, or volunteering directly for, a local government or certain ambulance and fire districts for the purposes of providing emergency medical services. The amendment also changed the retroactive application date to deaths occurring on or after November 1, 2015.
The amended bill passed the Kentucky Senate and the Kentucky House unanimously and was signed by Gov. Bevin on April 1.
Kentucky's state constitution specifies that new laws, unless they contain an emergency clause or specify their own effective date, take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature. Since the 2016 Kentucky Legislative Session adjourned on April 15 and the bill does not contain an effective date, then Senate Bill 43 should become law on July 14.
Jessamine County EMS Paramedic John Mackey, 40, was struck by a car November 5, 2015, while surveying damage after his ambulance clipped mirrors with another vehicle. He succumbed to those injuries on November 9, 2015. Paramedic Mackey is survived by his wife, Janine (who is also a paramedic in Anderson County), three children, and his parents.

DURHAM, N.C. — Most people haven't saved hundreds of lives in their careers, but Kevin Wilson has.
Wilson is retiring this month after 40 years with Durham County Emergency Medical Services, where his skill and compassion have kept many patients from dying.
Wilson remembers one instance where a medical student was in a serious car crash on Cole Mill Road and was minutes from death. When Wilson arrived, he found the woman trapped and barely breathing. She wore a full-length mink coat and expensive dress which Wilson had to cut apart to get needles into her chest. His quick action saved her life.
"Several days later in the intensive-care unit, I saw her," Wilson said. "Her mother ran up and started hugging me, and said: 'You put my daughter's life above the mink coat. Thank you'."
Cases like that have kept Wilson, 63, on the job despite the stress and long hours.
"There have been people through the years who said: 'You saved my dad's or mom's life' or 'You worked on them and they still died, but you really cared for us'," Wilson said. "That does something to your heart."
Wilson began working with EMS Jan. 1, 1976, when Durham had only four ambulances for the entire county. Now it has 18, and even that is often inadequate to keep up with demand as the population grows, he said.
Wilson, a Wilmington native, started as an EMS technician in Durham and worked his way up. Today, he's an assistant chief of EMS, and teaches those who teach paramedics. Although his duties as overseer of patient care often keep him in an office, Wilson frequently drives to ambulance calls to help out when someone is having a heart attack or stroke or has been in a crash, for example. He always follows up to be sure they got good care.
Wilson also oversees training for those who respond to infectious-disease emergencies, acts of chemical and biological terrorism, and explosions.
The number of 911 calls to EMS has increased nearly 10-fold since Wilson joined the department -- from 350 to 400 monthly ambulance calls in the mid-1970s to roughly 3,300 today.
"Older people are having cardiac events and strokes, and we have a lot of diabetics," Wilson said. "The demand for our services is great, and continues to grow."
In addition to more calls, paramedics have dramatically greater responsibility than they did 40 years ago. They have more medicines to administer, and are responsible for hooking the patient to an electrocardiogram and interpreting it in the ambulance -- a duty that historically was delayed until the patient arrived at the hospital. That quick response is saving lives, but adds complexity to the paramedic's job, Wilson said.
The need for paramedics in Durham is constant, and many opt for a career in nursing where the pay is better, according to Wilson. Those who stay don't do it primarily for the money, but because they're dedicated to helping others, he said.
"I always tell our people: 'I want you to take care of that patient as if they were a family member,' " Wilson said. "Treat them as if they were yours."
Wilson trains paramedics in the classroom, but he's not afraid to get his hands dirty in the field.
"It's easy to stand in a classroom and tell people to do stuff," he said. "It's different to get out in the street, in the blood and guts. I do it to set an example."
Wilson said his theme for the past 40 years has been simple: "Be kind to everybody, and care for them gently," he said. "Make sure they get the best of what we have. Then when you finish, you know you've done all that you can do."

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The founder of an organization that has installed boxes where mothers can leave unwanted infants is undeterred by a warning from Indiana that they are illegal and intends to make sure more mothers have protected access to them.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder Monica Kelsey said she will create a legal fund to defend women the state says could face child abandonment charges for using the devices, two of which have been installed in northern Indiana.
Kelsey's group has selected two more sites in central Indiana and a site in Ohio where it intends to install boxes, even though Ohio officials, like those in Indiana, say state law doesn't allow it.
Kelsey said she has consulted with lawyers in Indiana and Ohio who have told her there are no laws in either state prohibiting use of the boxes. She contends the boxes are needed to keep women from placing unwanted infants in trash bins.
Jon Keeling, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, said Ohio's safe haven law allows for a baby up to 30 days old to be left with a medical worker at a hospital, fire department or other emergency organization, or a peace officer at a law enforcement agency.
"The safe haven law that we have now does not include utilization of any kind of baby box, at least in my understanding of what they're doing in Indiana," he said.
Asked for comment about the group's plan to install a baby box in Ohio, Keeling said, "We would certainly hope no one would intentionally violate state law."
Kelsey said she decided to create the legal fund after Indiana Department of Child Services Director Mary Beth Bonaventura wrote officials in the two communities where baby boxes have been installed — Woodburn and Coolspring Township — that her agency would have to treat a baby left in one of the devices as abandoned. Indiana's Safe Haven Law requires that a baby being given up for adoption be left with an emergency medical provider, Bonaventura wrote.
Kelsey said details about the defense fund will be announced Thursday.
"We are starting a defense fund in case Mary Beth Bonaventura presses charges against a mother who places her child in one of our baby boxes. We will defend her to the hilt. It is ludicrous that she would even say that," Kelsey said.
Kelsey said she is worried pregnant women who read news reports about Bonaventura's letters might be afraid to use the boxes.
"So now we have to regain our trust with these women that DCS has pushed away. That's why we're trying to connect with the women, so they understand that we stand behind them if they choose this because it is legal," she said.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes advocates for the use of the baby boxes only as a last resort, Kelsey said, and it hasn't yet come to that.
She said a hotline her agency set up for women has received more than 765 calls since September and five of those callers opted to surrender the babies at safe havens. She said two were given up in Indiana, two in Missouri and one at a firehouse in Napoleon, Ohio, on Monday. Napoleon Police Chief Robert Weitzel issued a news release Monday saying a healthy baby had been surrendered to the fire department shortly before 4 p.m. Monday and was turned over to Henry County Job and Family Services.
Kelsey said counselors at the hotline first try to talk women into contacting a crisis pregnancy center, where they would be helped through the entire process. The second choice is working with the women on an adoption plan where they would have control over finding a parent. The third option is surrendering the child to a safe haven. Kelsey said only after a woman had rejected all the other choices would the option of a baby box be mentioned.
"The box is absolutely a last resort," she said.]]>

Billionaire Graeme Hart's Rank Group offshoot Carter Holt Harvey is laying off 70 workers in Rotorua and Tokoroa, with a union saying it is "bleak news" just before Christmas.
Union members met yesterday to discuss the company proposal to cut 18 jobs at its Tokoroa plywood plant and the closure of its Rotorua Profiles plant with the loss of more than 50 jobs, including contractors.
Hart is estimated to be worth about $6 billion, making him New Zealand's richest man, though he ceased being a director of CHH earlier this year.
CHH blamed a fall in demand from export markets in Australia and a lack of new home building in New Zealand as the reason for the redundancies, the workers' union said.
However, in the year to September 2012, the value of new dwelling consents grew by 26 per cent to $4.6 billion and the number of new dwellings consented was up 19 per cent to 16,000 dwellings.
EPMU timber industry organiser Ron Angel said the announcement was bleak news, especially just before Christmas.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/14/14 -- Atlantis Computing®, a leading provider of In-Memory software-defined storage, today announced its support for VMware Horizon 6 and Virtual SAN. The Atlantis ILIO software platform is proven at scale to deliver enterprise-class optimization services to virtualized environments, dramatically increasing the performance of VMs, while simultaneously allowing existing storage to support up to 10 times more desktops. Atlantis ILIO with VMware Horizon 6 and Virtual SAN can deliver better desktop performance than a MacBook Air, reduce the cost per virtual desktop to less than a PC, and deliver increased deployment flexibility with off-the-shelf servers, local storage components, and networks.
Delivering Enterprise-class Optimization Services to VMware Horizon & Virtual SAN
Atlantis ILIO delivers enterprise-class optimization services through its In-Memory Storage technology to extend Virtual SAN performance, and support more virtual desktops with fewer disks. With Atlantis ILIO, VMs run in server memory to deliver incredible performance, while storage traffic is optimized with Atlantis Computing's patented context-aware IO processing technology, as well as its inline de-duplication, compression, and coalescing optimization services to reduce the amount of underlying storage required to support the VMs. In joint Atlantis ILIO with Virtual SAN benchmarks, these optimization services increased performance by up to 5x, while reducing capacity by up to 90%. Atlantis ILIO with Virtual SAN delivers optimized software-defined storage for Horizon 6, offering new levels of flexibility and cost savings for desktop virtualization.
Convergence of Desktop Virtualization and Software-Defined Storage
The combination of Atlantis ILIO and VMware Virtual SAN delivers a truly differentiated hyper-converged platform enabling customers to create high performance systems using off the shelf networking, servers, and direct-attached storage (RAM, Flash, SSD, SAS, and SATA) to create an optimized and integrated storage and compute platform that delivers:
- A better-than-PC user experience
- A low infrastructure cost
- The ability to use blade servers with VMware Virtual SAN
- The flexibility to pool and share any SAN or NAS with VSAN
Customers can instantly create the optimal storage infrastructure for the desired application using local server storage components, and software from Atlantis Computing and VMware. Due to its high performance, the combination enables customers to implement hyper-converged systems for use cases beyond VDI and Test & Dev. For desktop virtualization, the user experience can be better than a high-end PC with flash, yet hardware costs can be reduced by up to 80% compared to traditional storage. The flexibility of the combined Virtual SAN and Atlantis ILIO solution also allows for deployments at scale using only blade servers and provides the ability to pool and share any SAN or NAS array with VMware Virtual SAN.
Atlantis ILIO Award-Winning, Highly Scalable Software-Defined Storage Platform
To date, Atlantis Computing has deployed software to manage and optimize more than 12 Petabytes of In-Memory Storage for more than 580,000 VMs globally across hundreds of mission critical deployments, including some of the largest successful virtualization deployments in the world. Customers include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii, Colt Technology Services, Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft, Hammersmith and Fullham Council, JP Morgan Chase, University Hospitals of Leicester, U.S. Army, Washington Trust Bank, and over 500 others. Atlantis ILIO USX is the next generation of this proven In-Memory Storage architecture, purpose-built to optimize and manage all virtualized server workloads including SQL server, Exchange, collaboration, test & development and big data applications.

PCB wants Inzamam to travel with team to South Africa
Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has asked former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq to accompany the national team to South Africa next month as the team`s batting consultant.
An official who didn`t wish to be named told PTI that the Chairman of PCB Zaka Ashraf had asked Inzamam to accompany the team on the coming tours to India and South Africa.
"As far as India is concerned, Inzamam expressed his regrets as he has already signed some contracts with a TV channel to work as an expert during the coming series," the official said.
"And for the South Africa tour Inzamam has said he will confirm his availability to us soon but the Chairman wants him to go with the team," he added.
Inzamam, who is Pakistan`s most capped player with 120 Test and 378 ODIs appearances also attended the first day of the national training camp for the tour to India on Saturday.
"Inzamam was in the camp today and worked with some of the batsmen," he said.
The appointment of Inzamam as a batting consultant comes at a time when the board is yet to decide on the appointment of a batting coach.
The PCB had invited interested candidates from abroad and in Pakistan to apply for the batting coach position until a deadline last month.
But since than although the board says it had received some very impressive CVs for the batting coach position it had delayed the matter.
A well informed source in the board said it apparently that the board had decided to give Inzamam and permanent role in the team but due to the certain criteria it had set for the post of batting coach, it had appointed him as batting consultant.
Pakistan will go to South Africa in the third week of January to play three Tests, five ODIs and a couple of T20 matches.

Waukesha's Common Council closes meeting to discuss water
Fire chief search, BID appointments also on agenda
In light of the 2012 General Election, the Common Council will meet on a Thursday instead of its usual Tuesday night gathering.
The Council will meet in closed session to discuss the city's water negotiations.
According to the agenda, "a motion will be made to consider the Town of Waukesha's proposal relating to Waukesha's water service area, to discuss negotiations with Oak Creek concerning Waukesha's future water supply and to consider matters of collective bargaining."
The City of Waukesha began negotiations with the City of Oak Creek on a possible water deal about a year ago and, despite the Waukesha and Oak Creek common councils approving a letter of intent for a deal last month, Oak Creek water utilityofficials did not sign the document.
The City of Waukesha also negotiated with the City of Racine in the past year and was also interested in negotiating with the City of Milwaukee, but negotiations never materialized between the two. However, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett recently sent a letter to Mayor Jeff Scrima and former Council President Paul Ybarra noting the city's willingness to enter into negotiations if Waukesha accepts the terms of only distributing lake water to its current service area.
If the City of Waukesha is granted Lake Michigan water, the Town of Waukesha, in a letter by town officials, asked the city to pay 20 years worth of property taxes for any properties annexed by the city.
The City of Waukesha is under a 2018 deadline to have radium-compliant water.
In addition to the water talks, the Council will authorize the City's Police and Fire Commission to enter into a contract to conduct a search for a fire chief in an amount authorized by City Administrator Ed Henschel and within the limits of the budget for the Police and Fire Commission.
Assistant Fire Chief Steve Howard has been serving as the interim fire chief since the city's former fire chief Allen LaConte retired in March after serving in the department for almost 35 years. He had announced his retirement in November 2011.
The Police and Fire Commission selected Illinois-based Voorhees Associates as a search firm to help in the selection process shortly after LaConte's departure.
But the Finance Committee was split in an April vote and after the council was also split, Scrima broke the tie, voting against hiring a search firm.
Also on the agenda are new mayoral appointments for the downtown Waukesha Business Improvement District Board. The five are Roger Igielski, Jim Taylor, Bill Huelsman, Phil Lee and Kevin Larson.
Igielski (Allo! Chocolat) and Taylor (Taylors People's Park) both own downtown businesses and both were among the 11 board members who resigned following former BID Executive Director Meghan Sprager resigning citing a "hostile work environment" among BID board members.

Plextor M3 Pro 256GB (PX-256M3P) Solid State Drive Review
PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
- Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
In our custom Vantage test we place a controlled amount of data on the drives and run the tests at various states of being full. The 50% fill test is our mark for determining the level of performance offered by an SSD.
Over the years we've seen the Marvell based drives take a big hit in these tests, as shown at the bottom of the chart with the Crucial m4 256GB. The Plextor M3 Pro has raised the bar for fill test performance, but the M3 Pro still doesn't outperform the Vertex 3 240GB here.
