New Study Reviews Effectiveness of Massage Therapy: Researchers Draw Interesting Parallels Between Massage and Psychotherapy
Massage therapy is one of the fastest growing forms of alternative medicine in the country.A 1998 study found that visits to massage therapists increased 36 percent between 1990 and 1997.1 More recently, a study published by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine this May2 found that massage was the ninth most popular form of alternative medicine in the country, with an estimated 5 percent of the adult American population using massage therapy at least once in the past 12 months.
While the use of massage continues to rise, so has interest in massage research. While several meta-analyses of massage studies have been conducted in the past, each of them has been limited in scope, preferring to look at specific patient groups or types of massage. A new meta-analysis, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal earlier this year,3 has taken a fresh look at the effectiveness of massage therapy in the adult population, and has concluded that it offers a wide range of physical and psychological benefits similar to those seen using other forms of care.
In the analysis, researchers began with 144 studies that fit their definition of massage, which was defined as "the manual manipulation of soft tissue intended to promote health and well-being." To qualify for inclusion, each study had to have been conducted on adults; studies on infants, or those employing therapeutic touch, ice massage, self-massage or massage with mechanical devices were eliminated. In addition, each study had to (a) compare a massage therapy group with at least one non-massage therapy control group; (b) randomly assign subjects to groups; and (c) report data sufficient enough for a between-groups effect to be generated on at least one variable being studied.
Thirty-seven studies met the above criteria and were used in the meta-analysis. The studies involved a total of 1,802 participants, including 795 who received massage therapy. The average number of participants per study was 48.7; the average age of a participant was 40.6. In some studies, massage was delivered only once; in others, it was performed multiple times. On average, participants received 21.7 minutes of massage therapy per treatment application. Sixty-five percent of the studies reported using a trained massage therapist (or therapists) to provide care; 22 percent reported using a "minimally trained" person or persons; and 14 percent did not indicate the level of training by the person (or persons) administering massage.
Nine specific effects were measured in the studies. In studies in which patients received a single application of massage therapy, anxiety state, blood-pressure levels, heart rate, negative mood, and immediate assessment of pain and cortisol levels were examined. In multiple-application studies, trait anxiety, depression and delayed assessment of pain were investigated. In the single-application studies, massage therapy (MT) produced "statistically significant" positive results for three effects compared to patients receiving a placebo or a different therapy.
According to the researchers: "... the average participant receiving MT experienced a reduction of state anxiety that was greater than 64 percent of participants receiving a comparison treatment. MT was also more effective than comparison treatments in reducing blood pressure and heart rate. The average MT participant experienced a reduction in blood pressure that was greater than 60 percent of comparison group participants, whereas for heart rate, the reduction resulting from MT was greater than 66 percent of comparison group participants."
In a surprise finding, massage did not reduce cortisol levels significantly, a result that differed from conclusions obtained in previous studies. In addition, massage therapy did not exhibit any effect on the immediate assessment of pain or a patient's negative mood. Despite these contrasting results, the scientists noted that "the significant finding for the cardiovascular variables suggests that future research should examine whether MT might have an enduring effect on blood pressure such that it could be used in treating hypertension."
In the multiple-application studies, "some of MT's largest and most interesting effects" were observed. While massage didn't appear to affect one's immediate assessment of pain, "a significant effect" was found for delayed assessment of pain. Specifically, patients who received a course of massage therapy and were assessed several days or weeks after the last treatment session "exhibited levels of pain that were lower, on average, than 62 percent of comparison group participants," a finding that lends credence to the theory that massage may promote the reduction of pain by allowing restorative sleep to take place more easily.
The most significant effects of massage therapy were seen when measuring anxiety and depression levels. According to the researchers, "The average MT participant experienced a reduction of trait anxiety that was greater than 77 percent of comparison group participants, and a reduction of depression that was greater than 73 percent of comparison group participants." So great were these reductions that the scientists considered massage therapy almost as effective as traditional psychotherapy in the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Massage: The Psychotherapy of the 21st Century?
The results of the meta-analysis dealt a blow to some commonly held beliefs about the effectiveness of massage therapy. For instance, the failure of massage to provide a significant effect on the immediate assessment of pain "contradicts the theory that MT provides stimuli that interfere with pain consistent with gate control theory." In addition, while the reductions in blood pressure and heart rate supported existing beliefs that massage promotes a response in the parasympathetic nervous system, the authors noted that "if this theory is true, it would also be expected that a significant reduction in cortisol levels would have occurred, which did not."
One new theory the researchers put forth was that massage therapy "may provide benefit in a way that parallels the common-factors model of psychotherapy." In this model, the specific mode of psychotherapy delivered is secondary to other factors, such as a client's positive expectation for treatment, a therapist who is warm and has a positive regard for the client, and the relationship between the therapies and the client.
"The same model can be extended to MT, given the possibility that benefits arising from it may come about more from factors such as the recipient's attitude toward MT, the therapist's personal characteristics and expectations, and the interpersonal contact and communication that take place during treatment, as opposed to the specific form of MT used or the site to which it is applied," the authors suggested.
Given the proposed similarities between massage therapy and psychotherapy, one might think that the benefits derived from massage are, in layman's terms, "all in your head." As the researchers asserted in their conclusion, this is hardly the case, but it does lead to intriguing possibilities for future massage research.
"The idea that MT has significant parallels with psychotherapy, and that perspectives gained from psychotherapeutic research should be applied to future research, is not meant to suggest that MT delivers effects entirely by psychological means," the scientists explained. "Clearly MT is at least partially a physical therapy, and some of its benefits almost certainly occur through physiological mechanisms. In fact, one of the most interesting aspects of MT is that it may deliver benefit in multiple ways."
"... However, whether researchers wish to study MT as a physical therapy, as a psychological one, or as both, new research should examine not merely the effects resulting from MT, but also the way in which these effects come about," they advised. "It is only by testing MT theories that a better understanding of this ancient practice will result."

Henrietta Lacks' Immortal Cells
I was just thinking last week that you rarely ever hear about HeLa cells anymore in the popular culture. But they're still being used daily in the ongoing fight against cancer.
Lacks was an impoverished black woman who died on October 4, 1951 of cervical cancer at just 31 years old. During her cancer treatment, a doctor at Johns Hopkins took a sample of her tumor without her knowledge or consent and sent it over to a colleague of his, Dr. George Gey, who had been trying for 20 years, unsuccessfully, to grow human tissues from cultures. A lab assistant there, Mary Kubicek, discovered that Henrietta's cells, unlike normal human cells, could live and replicate outside the body.
Irish Newspapers Demand 300 Euro Per Link
Not for an excerpt - just for linking to one of their public web pages.
The National Newspapers of Ireland has adopted a new policy. Any website which links to one of the 15 NNI member newspapers will have to pay a minimum of 300 Euros, with the license fee going up if you post more links. Note that this is not a fee to post an excerpt or some punitive measure for the copying of an entire article. No, the NNI wants to charge for links alone.
Good luck with that business model.
Because taxes.
French icon Gerard Depardieu just ditched his homeland to become a Russian citizen to avoid high taxes ... and the controversial move had to be approved by none other than Vladimir Putin.But then Putin also has a nasty habit of throwing people in jail and confiscating their assets when they displease him.

Why would you have a case of fire anyway?
Don't use water if it's a magnesium fire, because the chemical reaction with water and magnesium will only worsen it. I would know, I'm a flame expert, given that I'm a burning ball.
Except you're not really fire, you're plasma.
But I didn't say I was fire, just that I'm burning.
Except plasma isn't burning, it's being ionized. Fire burns.
Well if you're going to be that technical, then plasma is already ionized, not being ionized. And the energy from the sun isn't solely from plasma's ionic properties but from nuclear fusion.
Good point. Let's just say this: you're a big ball of hot.
Hey Butthead, look, it's a big burning ball. Mhm eh-eh eh mhm.
Uh huh-huh huh. Your mom like totally knows about those. Uh huh-huh huh.
Snooki did great! Would Snooki like smoosh-smoosh?
I like how you use a question mark at the end of the declarative statement and a period at the end of the interrogative statement.
"I mean seriously?" was not supposed to be a declarative sentence. It was supposed to be asking a question.
Oh, you would know, being the OP and all.
That was me being sarcastic. I mean to imply that you wouldn't know because you are not the OP of this post. I am ellaborating on this as sarcasm is seldom clearly received through text, and I doubt you possess the comprehensive skills to understand regardless.
I can tell that s/he meant to make it a question. So many people say "Seriously?" that I can't just think that s/he hit the question mark by mistake. Have you never heard someone say "Seriously?' in the form of a question?
Yes, and I've also heard people say "Seriously." in response to the question "Seriously?" Such an argument is invalid.
The point I am trying to make is that it is much more likely that this person was trying to say the sentence as a question, but you seem to think that it was definitely a statement. You have no evidence that s/he was making a statement, while my evidence is that the person used a question mark.
This is the most pointless argument I have ever seen. Bottom line is that no one gives a shit.
Nice comment.
Doesn't sound stupid to me. If you smother a fire with an elevator, that shit's goin OUT
That gave me the mental image of the hulk chunking an elavator into a massive complex fire with the elavator smashing apart and generally not helping at all.
Just thought I'd share.
Depends how big the fire is. If it's all burning shit up then it probably won't do much but if you wanted to put a candle out it would probably work.
I can just imagine someone planning a romantic candlelit dinner, and when they're girlfriend seductively tells them to put out the candles, they pull out an elevator and smash it on the table.
"Elevator'd, ****!"
You'd think the fire would go up or down, not out.
I'll just use my waterbending skills to fill the elevator with water and my earth bender friend will use metal bending to carry the elevator and tip the water onto the fire that that firebender created, thus equaling world peace.
Now that's how you use an elevator for all the right reasons, and not just the convenient transportation and catchy elevator tunes!
I'll be honest, I've never been in an elevator that plays any type of music.
I don't understand why everyone instantly assumes the sign's indicating that you shouldn't be using the elevator for the specific reason of putting out the fire.
For all you know, it's saying not to use the elevator to curl up and shit yourself during a fire.
Or maybe it's saying not to use the elevator to get from the upper floors to the lower floors.
That's what they want you to think!

A star of the hit TV show "Scandal" told the community website Quora.com that, throughout his acting career, he has remained faithful to his Judaism, even when it has caused him to forfeit gigs. Joshua Malina, who plays the character of David Rosen on the ABC political-thriller series, reminisced about his early days in Hollywood, when he had no agent and could only go to open-call auditions. At one of these — a try-out for a commercial — he said he waited on a line that was "maybe a city […]Read more →
The Huffington Post is facing backlash after joking about a Jewish comedian's appearance at the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Sunday night.

The Israeli version of the famed American Burning Man music festival is the "ultimate revenge on Hitler," according to a column in Playboy magazine on Thursday. In his column, Jeff Weiss also took note of the fact that Midburn — a five-day bacchanal in the Negev Desert, self-described as an event celebrating "a communal life style, creativity, art and radical self-expression" — began on June 8, the day of the Sarona Market terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, which left four people dead. Weiss asked rhetorically, "What could needle the mustached […]Read more →
Some punk rockers integrate their Jewish identity into their music through food, the author of a new book on the topic told The Algemeiner on Wednesday. Michael Croland, author of Oy Oy Oy Gevalt! Jews and Punk, described the way different musicians express this connection.

UK not decided on attending CHOGM in Sri Lanka
Thu, Jan 31, 2013, 09:47 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 31, Colombo: The British government has not yet taken a decision whether to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) to be held in Sri Lanka in November this year, the visiting Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister for South Asia of the British Government, Alistair Burt has said.
Speaking to a local radio station, Hiru FM, the Minister, who is on a two-day official visit to the island has said that discussions had been held on the subject with top representatives of the Sri Lankan Government.
Minister Burt said the Queen's attendance to the CHOGM in Sri Lanka is a Commonwealth matter and not up to the Queen or the UK government to decide.
He said the British government expects the CHOGM to take place in a Sri Lanka where the values of the Commonwealth are upheld.
"We expect Sri Lanka to uphold the values shared by all in the Commonwealth that include democratic principles, rule of law and human rights," the British Minister has said.
Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma will visit Sri Lanka on February 10th to discuss arrangements for the CHOGM 2013.
The British Foreign Minister today visited the North and he is is scheduled to meet External Affairs Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris, Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa and Presidential Secretary Lalith Weeratunga tomorrow.

Accused in Port Kaituma arson deaths for court
Alleged arsonist Linus La Cruz is to be arraigned today at the Georgetown Magistrate's Court for allegedly killing his wife and four of their children at Port Kaituma last Friday.
Crime Chief Seelall Persaud told Stabroek News yesterday that the Director of Public Prosecu-tions has recommended that five murder charges be laid against La Cruz and this will be done. He said that La Cruz will today make his first court appearance.
La Cruz remains a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital's Burn Care Unit after he was transferred from the Port Kaituma Hospital. He suffered burns to his body during the fire and was being treated at the public health facility up to last evening.
It is alleged that last Friday La Cruz locked the grille barricades on his Main Road, Port Kaituma home and set it ablaze, with his wife and four children inside.
The charred bodies of Lurlene La Cruz, 39; Lea La Cruz, 14; Labron La Cruz, 8; Lavette La Cruz, 3, and Levon La Cruz, 1, were later pulled from the debris.
Family members of the dead woman had told this newspaper that post-mortem results stated that Lurlene La Cruz was stabbed prior to being burnt. An autopsy performed on her and the children's bodies gave their cause of death as smoke inhalation and burns.
They were laid to rest in two small caskets on Tuesday after hundreds of residents of the community turned out to bid them goodbye.
The police on duty at the Port Kaituma Police Station, which is a short distance from the La Cruz home have come in for criticism as reports surfaced that police officer(s) on duty at the time did not respond to a fifth child who had rushed to the station to inform that her father was threatening to burn the home down with her family inside. The child subsequently rushed to a church nearby her home and told congregation member, Grace Fraser what had transpired. Fraser had subsequently accompanied the child to the station and it was a few moments later, Fraser and officers at the station observed that the house was on fire.
This newspaper was told that at the time of the fire, only one police officer was on duty. The others were sleeping. Residents said they believe lives could have been saved if the police had responded to the child's complaints immediately.

Horrifying backdraft that sends firefighters hurling through the air caught on camera
Five New Jersey firefighters were lucky to escape with their lives when a terrifying explosion blasted through a two-story building where they were battling a six-alarm blaze.
The force of the massive explosion threw the men outside the Harrison building and caused a huge plume of smoke to billow up which could be seen for miles around and cast a shadow over Newark Liberty International Airport.
Created by every firefighters worst nightmare, a backdraft, the awesome blast was captured on a witnesses cell-phone - revealing how close the brave men came to losing their lives as they fought the fire on Sunday morning.
Scroll Down for Video
The moment that the backdraft explodes out of the Harrison, New Jersey building and engulfs a firefighter is caught here on cell-phone footage
The resulting explosion threw five firefighters out of the building and seriously injured one of them who was taken to hospital in Newark
'I heard a noise and I saw smoke going up into the air,' said eyewitness Donna Padovano to myfoxny.com. 'It was very scary, there were flames coming from every single window.'
Authorities said that the fire erupted at around 11 a.m. in a restaurant on the ground floor and spread into the residential building.
More than 80 firefighters responded to the blaze and four of the five taken to hospital were released early Monday morning.
One of the men who was badly hurt was standing outside when the backdraft erupted out onto the street when the fire was fanned by a huge increase in oxygen.
In this blurry amateur footage it is clear to see the backdraft ignited a huge explosion which ripped through the building causing over $100,000 of damage
The six-alarm fire caused a plume of smoke to loom over the state of New Jersey
It took 80 firefighters over four hours to control the blaze which erupted just before midday on Sunday
Harrison fire Captain. Robert Gillen (pictured) said that his force was lucky not to lose anyone to the unpredictable fire that broke out yesterday morning in New Jersey
'When that glass blew our, he got it all in his face and body,' said Harrison fire Captain. Robert Gillen. 'He was bleeding profusely.'
Speaking of the deadly danger of a backdraft situation, Gillen explained the peril. 'All you need is an entrance of more oxygen, and it's just a massive explosion. A massive explosion.'
'They were literally thrown out of the building by the smoke explosion.'
No members of the public were reported injured in the blaze which left six families homeless last night.
The five injured firefighters were taken to hospital and all but one were released
The fire was so intense that a plume of black smoke was visible looming of Newark Liberty International Airport
A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Red Cross said the organization was assisting 17 people displaced by the fire.
Sunday service at a neighboring church had to be evacuated when the fire began to burn through.
'We had just finished prayer and worship when I walked past the door and I saw a lot of people and they were yelling fire!' said church-goer Jackeline Flores to myfoxny.com.
Once the fire was brought under control at around 5 p.m. investigators estimated that around $100,000 worth of damage had been done
'When the explosion happened we saw the firefighters pull back and we saw one person injured on the ground, that's when it hit us our church was lost.
'We're thankful overall God got all of us out save and the materials can be replaced. '
The fire was brought under control by 4.45 p.m. and the estimated cost of the damages is expected to top $100,000.

Description by OLDIES.com:
"For over a century, I have lived in secret. Until now. I know the risk, but I have to know her." Dark, brooding, pulsing with bloodlust and transcendent with romance, The Vampire Diaries - which started as a series of must-read novels by L.J. Smith - has become a must-watch television hit. Season One offers unforgettable characters, living and undead. They are vampire brothers Stefan and Damon, one good and one evil; Elena, a double for the beauty both brothers loved some 150 years earlier; plus Jeremy, Bonnie, Matt and more denizens of Mystic Falls, Virginia. All are caught up in a spellbinding web of secrets, passion and terror.
Product Description:
Still grieving the tragic death of her parents, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) returns to Mystic Falls High School with hopes of reconnecting with her friends and nurturing what family she has left. All hopes of a normal year fade, however, when she meets Stephen Salvatore (Paul Wesley), a new student, and his brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder). The siblings share more than just dark good looks, a deep interest in Elena - they're both vampires, and one of them won't stop until he's gotten a taste of Elena's blood.

Please don't patronise me just because I'm an OAP, writes Janet Street-Porter
JANET STREET-PORTER says not all pensioners are 'hogging hospital beds' but that 'pensioners come in all shapes and sizes' Pictured: File picture of an active older lady
Let's hope the Budget signals a major change in the way that the Government treats pensioners. At last, a politician has the guts to treat us like adults — not objects of pity or irritants costing the state plenty.
Of course we should have the right to spend our pensions as we wish. It's our money, and the state must stop nannying people from the cradle to the grave.
Mind you, they only made these concessions because they need the elderly to vote for them. But I'm not complaining. Too often, pensioners get referred to in the same breath as another P word: Problem. Accused of hogging hospital beds, hanging on to spare bedrooms, getting a winter fuel allowance when we might still be earning a wage, and daring to use our free bus passes.
Forget the image of older people wallowing in disposable income. The average pension pot is around £30,000 — so hardly enough to buy a swanky car.
Now, if we dare to cash in our annuities and purchase buy-to-let flats to give us a bit of regular income, we're being accused of fuelling a property boom and denying first-time buyers. We're demonised on all sides.
Pensioners come in all shapes and sizes, not one homogenous group — yet we're constantly grouped together by politicians (just like the 'hard-working families' they trot out at every opportunity), as if we all suffer from the same illnesses, wear the same cosy fleece trousers and eat the same easy-to-digest food.
More of us work than ever, and start our own businesses. We take degrees and learn new skills. And when we women do finally retire, we leave it later than most of our European neighbours.
On top of this, state pensions for women in the UK are lower than other EU countries, and life expectancy hasn't risen as much. So not such a rosy picture.
Some pensioners will be super-fit; others, like my Aunty Vi, will be in constant pain, unable to get around. But even if you are housebound, it doesn't mean that you turn into a vegetable. Pensioners are expert silver surfers and avid users of Skype. Modern technology allows us to learn, travel, and enjoy things without leaving our living room.
The latest person to patronise pensioners is Lord Gus O'Donnell, former Cabinet Secretary to three prime ministers.
He retired on a fat pension pot, with a seat in the Lords and nice expenses, so I don't react positively when he says people in their mid-60s should be volunteering to help the old and the very young. For nought.
Volunteering is fantastic — but to claim that not doing it will damage our health as badly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, as O'Donnell suggests, is ridiculous.
Many older people already feel they are almost blackmailed into looking after grandchildren, when they could be travelling and enjoying themselves. Why should they feel guilty if they're not putting in hours in a charity shop or care home? Not everyone will feel it's their duty.
Sir Gus has compiled a report on the nation's happiness, surveying 274 different jobs and listing those which generate the most satisfaction — and the top ten included highly-paid chief executives, health care managers and doctors. Hardly a surprise.
To my mind, satisfaction is being in charge of your own destiny — and politicians still have a lot to learn when it comes to the elderly.
Take a holiday from your gadgets
Ever heard of a 'digital detox'? It's when there's no mobile phone signal and you cannot access the internet. Instead of texting and emailing, I suppose you read a book, play Scrabble or even make love.
Should we take a break from our gadgets more often?
A digital detox sounds quite appealing right now as my left thumb is swollen and painful — the result of over-use of a BlackBerry. I've tried ice and heat, but it's not improving. Now, parts of Britain are even promoting their poor internet and phone links as a way of attracting holidaymakers.
A quarter of Scotland has no mobile phone reception and tourism chiefs are enthusing about the 'Joy Of Missing Out' as a chance to escape from being available 24/7.
Last summer, we discovered that our fishing lodge in the Highlands was ten miles from a phone signal … until a local chap let slip that if I stood on top of one particular rock when the wind dropped, and held my phone in the air, there was intermittent coverage. If you saw a bedraggled woman in Glen Etive, standing on one leg and waving a phone in the air, it was me, trying to access my messages.
The news that pubs may be helping to prepare school dinners from September fills me with dread, after the pub food I have been eating while filming a documentary. Does all that deep-fried haddock come from one underground bunker? It looks and tastes exactly the same, no matter where in the UK you go.
Charity — or naked vanity?
Natural beauty: Katherine Jenkins
Bare-faced snaps: Adele and Gwyneth Paltrow
Charity fund-raising is now bound up with promoting ourselves. We can't just stick some money in an envelope — we have to tweet a picture of ourselves, instead.
The other week, I was asked to upload a picture of myself without make-up as part of a fund-raising stunt for Cancer Research UK. I don't think a snap of my bags and sags would achieve much (and I donate to charities anonymously).
Katherine Jenkins obviously thinks otherwise, uploading this picture (very pretty without the slap) on her Instagram page. So far, the craze has raised £2 million — but it is all about self-promotion.
Now, celebrities including Adele, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robbie Williams and Rita Ora have posted snaps of themselves to mark World Water Day. Again, the campaign to get clean drinking water to the poorest people on the planet is a very worthwhile cause — but does a picture of Adele drinking a cup of tea inform and educate would-be donors?

The wreck of the Rena cannot be left on Astrolabe Reef. The ship rammed the reef because of the negligence or incompetence of its crew.
OPINION: Two men, including the captain, went to jail as a result. The spillage of oil and debris from the wreck caused a dreadful and lasting mess, and hundreds of birds died. Why on earth would New Zealand allow the wreck to be left there?
The owners and insurers say they have spent hundreds of millions removing part of the wreck and would have to spend hundreds of millions more to get rid of it all. They claim that the removal could be dangerous. They also claim that shifting the wreck from the underwater cliff where it is wedged might require the use of dynamite, further endangering the environment. And supporters of the insurers claim that the wreck is now harmless.
Not one of these arguments is convincing. The cost of removing the wreck is enormous, although the insurers' exact sums must be treated with scepticism. But that is not the point. As Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby asked last year: "Is the cost of removing it our problem? I would say no - it's their problem. We didn't ask for it to be grounded." This is the heart of the issue. They made the mess. They must clean it up.
If the insurers have a knock-down argument for leaving the wreck, they now have their chance to put it before the Bay of Plenty Regional Council and ultimately the Environment Court. Those bodies should cast a very cold eye on the clearly self-serving arguments of commercial organisations. And against them must be balanced the risk of further contamination by the wreck, which still contains oil and containers that could be freed by the fierce tides that tear across the reef.
The reef is, after all, a taonga for both Pakeha and Maori. It was once pristine and an excellent hapuka fishery. Now it has been violated by the ship, whose rusting hulk lies across it. It is strange, given this, that some New Zealanders seem to accept the argument that the wreck should be left as a diving attraction. There is already an excellent dive site close by at Motiti Island, where the Taioma was deliberately sunk. It is a safe diving spot, unlike the treacherous waters of the Astrolabe.
Prime Minister John Key says it is not his or the Government's call whether the wreck stays or goes. Instead, he said last month, it should be left to the planning authorities. Why is it not the Government's responsibility? This was a maritime disaster and the treatment of it will create an important precedent. It is not a regional problem, it is a national problem.
That means it is the Government's problem. For Taranaki, the issue is an important one, given how close we came to facing a Rena of our own earlier this year. The incident with the Lake Triview running aground has been described as having the potential to be Rena-like. And the Waiwhakaiho Reef it hit is only about 1 kilometre offshore.
Had it ended up stranded as the Rena was, how would the people of Taranaki feel if the proposal was to just leave it there, for viewing while they strolled the coastal walkway?
The deal the Government reached with the Rena's owners also casts some doubt on its bona fides, because it will receive a $10 million payment if a resource consent is given to abandon the wreck. This is an obvious incentive for the Government to support the owners and insurers. The Government needs to clear away the doubts by insisting that the wreck be cleared away. That is clearly in New Zealand's interests, and the Government has dodged the issue for too long.
