183_18 | Emerging research
In a preliminary 2005 open label study of 16 treatment-recalcitrant CPPS patients, controversial entities known as nanobacteria were proposed as a cause of prostatic calcifications found in some CPPS patients. Patients were given EDTA (to dissolve the calcifications) and 3 months of tetracycline (a calcium-leaching antibiotic with anti-inflammatory effects, used here to kill the "pathogens"), and half had significant improvement in symptoms. Scientists have expressed strong doubts about whether nanobacteria are living organisms, and research in 2008 showed that "nanobacteria" are merely tiny lumps of abiotic limestone. |
183_19 | The evidence supporting a viral cause of prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome is weak. Single case reports have implicated herpes simplex virus (HSV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV), but a study using PCR failed to demonstrate the presence of viral DNA in patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome undergoing radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. The reports implicating CMV must be interpreted with caution, because in all cases the patients were immunocompromised. For HSV, the evidence is weaker still, and there is only one reported case, and the causative role of the virus was not proven, and there are no reports of successful treatments using antiviral drugs such as aciclovir.
Due to the concomitant presence of bladder disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and mood disorders, research has been conducted to understand whether CP/CPPS might be caused by problems with the hypothetical bladder-gut-brain axis. |
183_20 | Research has been conducted to understand how chronic bladder pain affects the brain, using techniques like MRI and functional MRI; as of 2016, it appeared that males with CP/CPPS have increased grey matter in the primary somatosensory cortex, the insular cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex and in the central nucleus of the amygdala; studies in rodents have shown that blocking the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, which is expressed in the central nucleus of the amygdala, can block bladder pain.
Prognosis
In recent years, the prognosis for CP/CPPS has improved with the advent of multimodal treatment, phytotherapy, protocols aimed at quieting the pelvic nerves through myofascial trigger point release, anxiety control and chronic pain therapy. |
183_21 | Epidemiology
In the general population, chronic pelvic pain syndrome occurs in about 0.5% of men in a given year. It is found in men of any age, with the peak incidence in men aged 35–45 years. However, the overall prevalence of symptoms suggestive of CP/CPPS is 6.3%. The role of the prostate was questioned in the cause of CP/CPPS when both men and women in the general population were tested using the (1) National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) —with the female homologue of each male anatomical term used on questionnaires for female participants— (2) the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and (3) additional questions on pelvic pain. The prevalence of symptoms suggestive of CPPS in this selected population was 5.7% in women and 2.7% in men, placing in doubt the role of the prostate gland. New evidence from 2008 suggests that the prevalence of CP/CPPS is much higher in teenage males than once suspected. |

184_0 | Salim is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by N. V. Nirmal Kumar. It stars Vijay Antony and Aksha Pardasany. Produced by Studio 9, Sri Green Productions and Vijay Antony Film Corporation, the film is a sequel to Vijay Antony's debut film Naan (2012). The film was released on 29 August 2014.
Plot |
184_1 | The plot continues 2 years after the incidents and events occurred in Naan. Karthik alias Mohammed Salim (Vijay Antony) is an honest doctor working in a private hospital in Chennai. He often goes out of his ways to help needy patients that come to him. His talent and nature earn him the wrath and jealousy of his colleagues. One day, he learns that someone is stalking him and finds it is his suitor Nisha (Aksha Pardasany). Salim goes directly to Nisha and gives his personal diary for her to learn more about him. This response from Salim impresses Nisha so much, and she falls in love with him. As their relationship progresses, Nisha learns that Salim has dedicated himself to his work, so much so that he fails to take care of her and spend time with her, thus creating a rift between them. To reconcile with Nisha, Salim plans to spend a whole day with her. They go to a movie theatre, and some goons tease Nisha, but Salim chooses to take Nisha and leave the place. Nisha gets offended by |
184_2 | this and starts to ignore Salim and his phone calls. |
184_3 | Meanwhile, the hospital's managing director gives Salim a warning to stop refusing fees from patients as it affects the hospital's income. A few days later, Salim manages to convince Nisha, and they renew their relationship. Nisha asks Salim to go to a party with her, and he agrees. But when he is on the way, he sees a young girl, a gang-rape victim, who is hurt and bleeding on the road. He takes her to the hospital and misses the party. Nisha loses her temper and breaks up with him. |
184_4 | The next day, Salim finds that the girl whom he admitted has been discharged from the hospital. He learns that the managing director has discharged the girl as she is poor and unable to pay the cost. The same evening, he gets an invitation to a party from his hospital. There, he learns that the managing director has had enough of his charity and generosity at the hospital's cost. Salim also learns that he is being laid off and it is his own farewell party. He is also insulted by the managing director for not using his talent and reputation to earn money. Salim storms out of the party in rage. On the way, he gets into a scuffle with a police officer (Aruldoss) and hits him, ending up in the police station. But he escapes with the police officer's pistol and goes straight to a hotel. There, he finds four men trying to rape the hotel singer. He beats them up and helps the girl leave the place. Saying that they have to learn their lesson, Salim takes them hostage inside the room. One of |
184_5 | the men, Guru, is the son of Home Minister Thavapunniyam (R. N. R. Manohar), so the police, led by a police officer Chezhian (P. V. Chandramouli), are pressurized to take immediate action. |
184_6 | The police find out Salim's identity and raid his home, where they find his wedding cards and learn about Nisha. They take her into custody and to the hotel, where she meets Chezhian and explains Salim's character and that he is not a terrorist to take hostages. The police plan to use Nisha as bait and capture Salim, but they fail to do so when Salim demands the presence of Thavapunniyam at the hotel. Meanwhile, a police sniper takes a shot at Salim but misses, and Salim throws one of the men out of a window. He tells Chezhian to take him seriously to avoid more disastrous results. It is later revealed that the four men had raped the girl whom Salim had admitted in the hospital. After discharging the victim from the hospital, they killed both the victim and her mother and disposed of the remains in sewage. |
184_7 | Salim realizes he will not be left alive by Thavapunniyam once he lets go of the hostages. So he demands a car for him to leave and tells the police not to follow him. This time, Thavapunniyam arranges a car that is fixed with a bomb and a remote detonator. Salim continues to hold Guru hostage and gets into the latter's car instead. Later, Thavapunniyam receives a call from Guru telling him that Salim left him on the East Coast Road and escaped. Thavapunniyam orders his men to bring Guru back and kill Salim, who has driven away and made it look like an automobile accident. The men chase the car with trucks and crash into it, only to find it was Salim who chose to leave the car, and it was Guru who was driving inside. |

Production
After his debut venture Naan, Vijay Antony decided to start Salim. Vijay Antony plays the role of a doctor while Aksha Pardasany was signed to portray his fiancé in the film, making her Tamil film debut. Since the movie required Vijay Antony to perform some dare devil stunts, he understood the necessity and underwent rigorous training in Taekwondo for a period of two months. The shoot of the first schedule of the film was held in Chennai in June 2013.
Soundtrack |
184_9 | The music of the film was composed by Vijay Antony. The soundtrack album was released at Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai on 5 June 2014, with Bharathiraja, Bala, M. Raja, R. K. Selvamani and R. Parthiepan among other attending the event. Behindwoods gave 2 out of 5 and called the album "a mixed bag from Vijay Antony".
Release
Salim was released on 29 August 2014 in around 400 screens across the country, including Kerala and Karnataka, with Tamil Nadu contributing close to 300 screens. Gopuram Films and Sri Production distribute the film in India. It was released in about 50 screens in the overseas space in key countries, through Suara Networks. |
184_10 | Critical response |
184_11 | The film has received generally positive reviews from the newspapers. Baradwaj Rangan from The Hindu wrote, "The director, N. V. Nirmal Kumar, subscribes to a rather charming theory: things just happen. Nisha just happens to morph into a ghost. Salim just happens to get arrested by a cop...Salim just happens to visit an old man, who dies a few scenes later, having served little purpose other than to demonstrate another facet of Salim’s goodness. If he (Salim) was really that good, he’d have refunded my ticket money by now". The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Vijay Antony is definitely not an expressive actor but with Naan earlier and now Salim, he has managed to find roles where impassiveness is a trait of the character...The first half of Salim nicely sets up what's in store...It is only in the second half that things get somewhat cinematic". The New Indian Express wrote, Salim may not have the best of scripts, but with its racy pace and twists, it manages to keep |
184_12 | one glued to the screen for the most part". Sify wrote, " Salim is a decent enough thriller that compensates for its weak first half by a smarter second half and some composed acting by Vijay Antony". Behindwoods in its review stated, "This is not the first time that Tamil Cinema witnesses such a plot, however the way Salim is treated, manages to keep the audiences engaged", calling it a "watchable average movie". Moviecrow stated, Salim is definitely a sound choice by Vijay Antony as a follow up to Naan". Indiaglitz.com wrote, "The film is clean and thought-provoking, and is certainly worth the time invested". |

185_0 | The 2011–12 edition of the Commonwealth Bank Series was a One Day International cricket tournament which was held in Australia. It was a tri-nation series between Australia, India, and Sri Lanka. This was the first time Australia had hosted a tri-series since 2007–08.
Squads
Decision Review System
The series was played without the players having access to the Umpire Decision Review System (DRS). At the time, the DRS could be used in any series at the agreement of all participating cricket boards, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India opposed its use in this series. Umpires could still initiate reviews to the third umpire for run out, stumping and no ball decisions.
Group stage points table
Points System: |
185_1 | In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the final match or series was determined as follows:
The team with the highest number of wins
If still equal, the team with the highest number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins
If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate
In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.
Won (W): 4
Lost (L): 0
No Result (NR): 2
Tie (T): 2
Bonus Points (BP): 1 (The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point. A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of overs faced) |
185_2 | Net run rate (NRR): Runs per over scored less runs per over conceded, adjusting team batting first to overs of team batting second in rain rule matches, adjusting to team's full allocation if all out, and ignoring no result matches.
Group stage matches
1st match |
185_3 | India won the toss and elected to field in windy conditions, and with rain forecast to interrupt the Australian innings. The rain came after 11 overs, with Australia struggling at 35–2, with Vinay Kumar dismissing both Warner (6) and Ponting (2) for single figures, and keeping the run rate tight. The rain delay reduced the match to 32 overs per side. Following the rain, Australia accelerated, and added 181 runs in 21 overs, Matthew Wade (67) making a half-century on debut, and Michael and David Hussey (45 off 32 balls and 61 off 30 balls respectively) contributing with aggressive middle order batting, to take the total to 5/216. After applying the Duckworth-Lewis method, there was no change to the target, with India to chase 217 to win. |
185_4 | India lost Tendulkar (2) and Gambhir (5) inside the first four overs, with Mitchell Starc (2/33) taking both wickets. Virat Kohli (31) and Rohit Sharma (21) added 51 for the third wicket, before Clint McKay (4/20) dismissed both in the 12th over, reducing India to 4/65. Wickets fell regularly, and India could not keep up with the required run rate. Eventually, India was dismissed for 151 in the 30th over. Australia won by 65 runs and claimed a bonus point; Matthew Wade was man of the match.
2nd match
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat. After reaching a comfortable position at 2/100 in the 24th over, the Indian bowlers were able to stifle the Sri Lankan run rate through the middle portion of the innings with tight bowling and regular wickets. Sri Lanka passed 200 in the 46th over, and finished at 8/233. Ravichandran Ashwin (3/32 from 10 overs) was the best of the bowlers, and Dinesh Chandimal (64) top-scored for Sri Lanka. |
185_5 | India had the run rate well under control in its innings, and had reached 3/157 after 32 overs, before a middle order collapse saw them fall to 6/181 after 36 overs, giving Sri Lanka a chance at bowling India out. However, the number seven and eight batsmen, Ravindra Jadeja (24*) and Ravichandran Ashwin (30*), put on an unbeaten 53 run partnership to guide India to victory in the 47th over.
3rd match |
185_6 | Sri Lanka won the toss and sent Australia in, and dismissed the Australian top order cheaply, reducing them to 3/50 in the 9th over. Michael Clarke (57) tried to anchor the Australian innings, but wickets continued to fall around him; when Clarke fell in the 41st over, the score was 7/190, and Australia was at risk of not batting out its overs. A 32-run partnership for the ninth wicket between Clint McKay (25) and Mitchell Starc (14) helped Australia to reach the 50th over, and they were ultimately bowled out for 231 with five balls remaining. The wickets were shared, with no bowler taking more than two. |
185_7 | In its chase, Sri Lanka had the run rate under control for most of the innings, but lost wickets regularly. They fell to 3/88 in the 21st over, then to 6/130 in the 31st over. Batting at number seven, Angelo Mathews (64) anchored the batting in the lower order, sharing good partnerships with the tail – including 32 runs for the eighth wicket with Sachithra Senanayake and 46 runs for the tenth wicket with Dhammika Prasad – to get Sri Lanka into the 50th over, but the run rate suffered. In the end, Sri Lanka needed 18 from the last over; Mathews hit a four and a six from the first two deliveries, but was caught in the deep on the penultimate ball, with Sri Lanka five runs short of Australia's total. As in the Australian innings, the wickets were shared, with no bowler taking more than two wickets; Xavier Doherty's 2/24 from ten overs were the most economical figures.
4th match |
185_8 | Australia won the toss and chose to bat, and lost both openers inside the first ten overs. Michael Clarke (38), David Hussey (72) and debutant Peter Forrest (66) batted comfortably through the middle of the innings to take Australia to 4/212 after 40 overs; however, Indian fast bowlers Zaheer Khan and Vinay Kumar prevented Australia from accelerating through the final ten overs, and Australia finished at 8/269. |
185_9 | India batted its way into a very comfortable position at the start of its run chase, reaching 2/166 in the 32nd over to be in a strong position to win. They lost Rohit Sharma (33) and Gautam Gambhir (92) in quick succession, and the run rate slowed – India added only eighteen runs in the batting powerplay, which was taken shortly after the wickets. After careful batting by MS Dhoni (44*) and Suresh Raina (38), India brought itself back to a winning position, requiring 40 runs from the last five overs, with six wickets in hand. Eventually, India needed 13 runs from the final over, which Dhoni scored with two balls to spare.
5th match |
185_10 | Batting first, Sri Lanka lost Upul Tharanga (0) in the first over, and was in a vulnerable position at 3/79 in the 20th over. Dinesh Chandimal (81) and Mahela Jayawardene (43) added 94 runs for the fourth wicket to bring Sri Lanka to 3/173 in the 36th over, but both were dismissed shortly afterwards, which stifled the Sri Lankan innings. Only 58 more runs were added in the 12.3 overs after Chandimal's dismissal, to take Sri Lanka to a total of 9/236. |
185_11 | In its chase, Gautam Gambhir (91) scored his second consecutive score of in the nineties to anchor the innings, while nobody else in the top order was able to manage more than twenty runs. Gambhir was joined at the crease by MS Dhoni (58*) in the 28th over, and the pair added sixty runs before Gambhir was run out in the 41st over, with the score 5/178. Dhoni batted patiently with the lower order, and batted into a position where it needed 24 runs to win from the last two overs with three wickets in hand: Angelo Mathews conceded 15 runs from the 49th over, including a wide and a no ball, and Lasith Malinga conceded 8 runs from the last over, including three from the final ball, to tie the game.
There was mild controversy when it was later discovered that India's 30th over had been called off after only five deliveries.
6th match |
185_12 | After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Australia's top and middle orders were decimated by Sri Lanka's bowling. When rain interrupted play after 26 overs, Australia was struggling at 6/88. After the resumption, with the innings shortened to 41 overs, Australia managed to extend its score to 158, mostly through the batting of David Hussey (58), who was the only Australian batsman to pass a score of twenty runs, and his 49-run partnership with Mitchell Starc (17) for the ninth wicket. Thisara Perera (2/29 from 7 overs) and Farveez Maharoof (2/18 from 8 overs) finished with the best bowling figures for Sri Lanka. The target was adjusted down to 152 by the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Sri Lanka had no difficulty chasing down Australia's total, winning in the 25th over, at a run rate of 6.28, to claim the bonus point. Mahela Jayawardene (61*) top-scored in the run chase.
7th match |
185_13 | In a solid performance by the entire batting line-up, Australia reached 5/288 in its innings. Four of the top five batsmen – Matthew Wade (45), David Warner (43), Peter Forrest (52) and Michael Hussey (59) – passed forty runs to set a strong platform, and middle order batsmen Daniel Christian (30* from 18 balls) and David Hussey (26* from 20 balls) accelerated through the death overs. Irfan Pathan (3/61) was the best of the Indian bowlers.
In reply, India's top order fell cheaply, with Brett Lee and Ben Hilfenhaus each taking two wickets to reduce India to 4/36 in the 11th over. India never recovered from that start, and only MS Dhoni (56) could provide any significant resistance, as India was dismissed in the 44th over for 178, conceding a bonus point. Hilfenhaus finished with 5/33 to win Man of the Match, and Brett Lee also took one more wicket to finish 3/49. |
185_14 | Indian captain MS Dhoni was charged for India's slow over rate, which saw the Australian innings run half an hour longer than scheduled, and he was suspended for India's next ODI. It was Dhoni's second suspension for a slow over rate during the summer, after missing the fourth Test against Australia in January.
Australian Ricky Ponting was dropped after this match, after failing to reach double figures during the series.
8th match
As Australia had done in the seventh ODI, almost Sri Lanka's entire batting line-up played well in the first innings – Mahela Jayawardene (45), Tillekaratne Dilshan (51), Dinesh Chandimal (38) and Lahiru Thirimanne (62) set a strong platform, and Angelo Mathews (49* from 37 balls) and Thisara Perera (10 from 7 balls) accelerated at the death. Sri Lanka finished with 6/289. |
185_15 | Sri Lanka took three early wickets, including two to Nuwan Kulasekara, to reduce India to 3/54. Suresh Raina (32) and Virat Kohli (66) added 92 for the fourth wicket, to bring India to 3/146 in the 31st over, before Raina was dismissed. Sri Lanka regained its winning position when Kulasekara (3/40) dismissed Ravindra Jadeja (17), India's last recognised batsman, in the 38th over with the score 6/191. Irfan Pathan (47 from 34 balls) gave India some hope, but he quickly ran out of batting partners, and India was dismissed for 238 in the 46th over. Sri Lanka won by 51 runs, seven runs shy of the margin required to earn a bonus point.
Sri Lankan top-scorer Lahiru Thirimanne had to survive a mankading when he was on 44. He was mankaded by Ravichandran Ashwin in the 40th over, after having previously been warned by the bowler for leaving his crease early, but Indian stand-in captain Virender Sehwag on the advice of Sachin Tendulkar decided to withdraw the appeal.
9th match |
185_16 | Australia lost both openers cheaply to be reduced to 2/27 in the 7th over, before Peter Forrest (104) and Michael Clarke (72) batted together for more than thirty overs, and added 154 runs for the third wicket. Forrest reached his maiden international century, and the first century by a batsman in the tri-series, in the 40th over. From the strong platform of 3/197, aggressive batting in the death overs by David Hussey (40 from 28 balls), Michael Hussey (21 from 14 balls) and Brett Lee (20 from 15 balls) allowed Australia to post a strong total of 6/280. |
185_17 | In reply, Mahela Jayawardene opened the batting aggressively, bring his personal total to fifty in only the 12th over. Jayawardene (85) and Dinesh Chandimal (80) took the score to 2/153 in the 27th over, when Jayawardene was dismissed. Chandimal added another ninety runs in partnerships to bring Sri Lanka to 4/243. At this point, Sri Lanka was in a comfortable position, needing 38 from 35 deliveries. Ryan Harris and Ben Hilfenhaus each took a wicket to reduce Sri Lanka to 6/250 after 46 overs; but aggressive hitting from Thisara Perera (21 from 11 balls), including twelve runs off Daniel Christian in the 49th over saw Sri Lanka home with four balls to spare.
10th match |
185_18 | Australia was reduced to 2/26 after two early wickets to Praveen Kumar (2/37). Australia recovered to reach 3/107, before David Warner (68 off 66 balls) was dismissed in the 21st over. David Hussey (54) and Matthew Wade (56) added 94 runs for the fifth wicket, taking Australia to 4/201, before both men were dismissed by Umesh Yadav (2/39) in the space of four overs. Australia was unable to accelerate through the death overs, mostly through the part-time bowling of Virender Sehwag, who took 3/43 from his nine overs; Australia passed 250 only by scoring 13 runs from Sehwag's last over. |
185_19 | In its run chase, India lost wickets early and regularly, before being dismissed for 165 in the 40th over. There were no innings or partnerships of note: Ravichandran Ashwin top-scored with 26, and the highest partnership was only 44 runs, between Gautam Gambhir (23) and Virat Kohli (21). Xavier Doherty, Shane Watson and Ben Hilfenhaus all took two wickets for Australia. Australia won the match with a bonus point, and the result ensured that Australia qualified for the finals. |
185_20 | David Hussey had to survive an appeal for either handled the ball or obstructing the field when he was on 17 in the 24th over. While taking a single, Hussey used his open hand to swat away a throw which was on target for the stumps, but was also likely to hit Hussey as he attempted to make his ground. The third umpire, after much deliberation, gave him not out. It was the second unusual appeal of the series, after the attempted mankading of Lahiru Thirimanne in the eighth ODI.
In another controversial incident, Sachin Tendulkar while running was obstructed by Brett Lee and was forced to go around him, eventually getting run out by a direct hit from David Warner.
11th match
Entering India's final round robin match, it was five points behind Sri Lanka. As such, India needed to beat Sri Lanka with a bonus point to have a chance at reaching the finals; any other result would have ended India's tournament. |
185_21 | Sri Lanka was sent in to bat, and compiled a huge total of 4/320. Most of the runs came in a 200-run partnership for the second wicket between Tillekaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara, both of whom made centuries. Sangakkara (105 from 87 balls) was finally dismissed in the 44th over. Dilshan finished the innings unbeaten on 160 from 165 balls; his last 60 runs came from only 33 deliveries in the death overs. |
185_22 | Needing to score at more than eight runs per over to earn the bonus point, the openers started quickly: Virender Sehwag (30 from 16 balls) and Sachin Tendulkar (39 from 30 balls) helped to take the score to 2/86 in the tenth over. Tendulkar's dismissal brought Virat Kohli to the crease, who batted in two century partnerships to complete the run chase in only 36.4 overs, earning the bonus point. Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (63 from 64 balls) put on 115 for the third wicket, then Kohli and Suresh Raina (40 from 24 balls) put on an unbeaten 120 runs for the fourth wicket. Kohli finished unbeaten on 133 runs from 86 balls; he completed his century in 76 balls, then added his last 33 runs in only ten deliveries, including hitting 24 runs off Lasith Malinga in the 35th over. Malinga conceded 96 runs from his 7.4 overs, setting a new record for the worst innings economy rate in ODI history (12.52).
12th match |
185_23 | Entering the match, Australia had already qualified for the finals. Sri Lanka and India were tied on 15 points for second, with India ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker; as such, Sri Lanka needed at least one point to qualify for the finals. A win, tie, or no result would see Sri Lanka qualify, a loss would see India qualify. |
185_24 | Sri Lanka fell to 2/17 in the fifth over, before Kumar Sangakkara (64), Dinesh Chandimal (75) and Lahiru Thirimanne (51) all scored half centuries to steady Sri Lanka's innings. Sri Lanka brought the score to 4/195 in the 42nd over, with Thirimanne still at the crease, before collapsing to 8/206 in the 44th over; this was due to the efforts of Daniel Christian, who dismissed Thisara Perera, Sachithra Senanayake and Nuwan Kulasekara for a hat-trick (the 31st hat-trick in ODI history), and took 4/5 across a two over spell. Thirimanne and Rangana Herath (14) added 29 for the ninth wicket to help to take the Sri Lankan total to 238. Christian finished with 5/31 from nine overs, and James Pattinson, playing his first ODI for the summer, took four top order wickets to finish with 4/51. |
185_25 | Australia's reply started poorly, with Lasith Malinga taking two early wickets to help reduce Australia to 3/26 in the 5th over. Shane Watson (65) and Michael Hussey (29) added 87 for the fourth wicket to resurrect the Australian innings. Sri Lanka's bowling attack was struck by injuries to both Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera, which forced Thirimanne to bowl for only the third time in his List A career, but Thirimanne got the breakthrough, dismissing Michael Hussey in the 25th over. When Shane Watson was dismissed by Malinga (4/49) in the 31st over, Australia fell to 5/140, putting Sri Lanka in a winning position. David Hussey (74) almost guided Australia to victory, but he quickly ran out of batting partners; a 39-run partnership with Xavier Doherty (7) for the ninth wicket was the longest partnership of Hussey's innings. Needing ten runs from the last over with one wicket in hand, Hussey was caught in the deep from the first delivery. |
185_26 | The victory sent Sri Lanka to the top of the points table, qualifying Sri Lanka for the finals series.
Finals
1st final
Winning the toss and choosing to bat, Australian batsmen made their first century opening stand for the series, with David Warner and Matthew Wade (64) taking the score to 0/136 in the 24th over before Wade was dismissed. Warner batted throughout the rest of the innings, bringing up his maiden ODI century in the 35th over from 113 balls, and finally being dismissed on the last ball of the innings for 163 from 157 balls. Support came from Michael Clarke (37 from 25 balls) and Michael Hussey (19* from 10 balls), to take the total to 6/321. |
185_27 | In reply, Sri Lanka replied with a strong run rate, but Brett Lee took the wickets of the two openers to leave Sri Lanka at 2/66 after eight overs. The run rate slowed and wickets fell regularly, and when Farveez Maharoof was dismissed in the first ball of the 31st over, Sri Lanka were reduced to 6/144; Kumar Sangakkara (42) was the only batsman to have passed twenty runs, and Brett Lee (3/59) and part-time spinner David Hussey (4/43) had each taken three wickets. Two significant and fast-scoring lower order partnerships then brought Sri Lanka back into contention for the game: Upul Tharanga (60) and Nuwan Kulasekara (73 from 43 balls) added 104 runs from 69 deliveries for the seventh wicket, and Tharanga and Dhammika Prasad (31* from 21 balls) added 37 runs from 25 balls for the eighth wicket. |
185_28 | Sri Lanka needed 23 runs from the final three overs with two wickets in hand, but accurate death bowling by Lee and Shane Watson saw both wickets fall for only seven runs, with four deliveries to spare. The final margin of victory was 15 runs, and Australia took a 1–0 lead in the finals series.
Australia's innings match was interrupted twice by rain, and light rain fell for much of the game, but no overs were lost.
2nd final |
185_29 | After choosing to bat, Australia were reduced to 2/56 in the 16th over, at a conservative run rate of 3.69. After that, Michael Clarke (117) and David Warner (100) batted together for more than thirty overs, adding 184 runs for the third wicket, and Warner scoring a century for the second consecutive match. From the strong platform of 2/232 after 43 overs, Australia failed to accelerate at the death, scoring only 39 runs from the last seven overs to set a total of 6/271; Lasith Malinga (3/40) took 3/13 from his last three overs of the innings. Sri Lanka dropped five catching opportunities in the field. |
185_30 | It took Sri Lanka only six overs to reach 0/50 in reply – helped by a poor display of opening bowling by Australia, which conceded twelve extras and a catch behind annulled through wides, no balls and byes. Mahela Jayawardene (80) and Tillekaratne Dilshan (106) put together an opening stand of 179 runs before Jayawardene was dismissed in the 28th over. Kumar Sangakkara (51*) also contributed a half century, and Sri Lanka cruised to a comfortable victory in the 45th over, to level the finals series 1–1.
3rd final |
185_31 | After being sent in, Australian openers David Warner (48) and Matthew Wade (49) set a strong opening platform of 1/115 in the 21st over. The top order then collapsed, Sri Lanka taking 4/20 in seven overs to reduce Australia to 5/135. The middle order failed to recover, and Australia was reduced to 7/177 in the 38th over, before a 40 run partnership between bowlers Clint McKay (28) and Brett Lee (32) helped to take the Australian score to 231, all out in the 50th over. The bowling of Rangana Herath (3/36 from 10 overs) and Farveez Maharoof (3/40 from 10 overs) was key to Sri Lanka's recovery during the Australian innings. |
185_32 | In its reply, Sri Lanka fell to 4/53 inside ten overs as Lee and McKay took two early wickets each. Upul Tharanga (71) helped to resurrect the Sri Lankan innings, compiling a fifth wicket partnership of 60 runs with Lahiru Thirimanne (30) to bring the score to 4/113, but after Tharanga's dismissal, wickets fell regularly until Sri Lanka was reduced to 8/204 in the 46th over. Australia eventually dismissed Sri Lanka in the 49th over for 215, largely through the bowling of Clint McKay, who took 5/28 for the innings. Australia won the series 2–1.

187_0 | Stanley Ann Dunham (November 29, 1942 – November 7, 1995) was an American anthropologist who specialized in the economic anthropology and rural development of Indonesia. She was the mother of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States. Dunham was known as Stanley Ann Dunham through high school, then as Ann Dunham, Ann Obama, Ann Soetoro, a.k.a. Ann Sutoro, and resumed her maiden name, Ann Dunham, later in life. |
187_1 | Born in Wichita, Kansas, Dunham studied at the East–West Center and at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Honolulu, where she attained a bachelor of arts degree in anthropology (1967), and later received master of arts (1974) and PhD (1992) degrees, also in anthropology. She also attended the University of Washington in Seattle from 1961 to 1962. Interested in craftsmanship, weaving, and the role of women in cottage industries, Dunham's research focused on women's work on the island of Java and blacksmithing in Indonesia. To address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development. Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and she consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Towards the latter part of her life, she worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia, where she helped apply her research to the largest microfinance program in the |
187_2 | world. |
187_3 | After her son was elected president, interest renewed in Dunham's work: the University of Hawaiʻi held a symposium about her research; an exhibition of Dunham's Indonesian batik textile collection toured the United States; and in December 2009, Duke University Press published Surviving against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia, a book based on Dunham's original 1992 dissertation. Janny Scott, an author and former New York Times reporter, published a biography of her titled A Singular Woman in 2011. Posthumous interest has also led to the creation of the Ann Dunham Soetoro Endowment in the Anthropology Department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, as well as the Ann Dunham Soetoro Graduate Fellowships, intended to fund students associated with the East–West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. |
187_4 | In an interview, Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years ... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
Early life
Dunham was born on November 29, 1942, at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, Kansas, the only child of Madelyn Lee Payne and Stanley Armour Dunham. She was of predominantly English ancestry, with some Scottish, Welsh, Irish, German and Swiss. Wild Bill Hickok is her sixth cousin, five times removed. Ancestry.com announced on July 30, 2012, after using a combination of old documents and yDNA analysis, that Dunham's mother was descended from John Punch, an enslaved African man who lived in seventeenth-century colonial Virginia. |
187_5 | Her parents were born in Kansas and met in Wichita, where they married on May 5, 1940. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, her father joined the United States Army and her mother worked at a Boeing plant in Wichita. According to Dunham, she was named after her father because he wanted a son, though her relatives doubt this story and her maternal uncle recalled that her mother named Dunham after her favorite actress Bette Davis' character in the film In This Our Life because she thought Stanley, as a girl's name, sounded sophisticated. As a child and teenager she was known as Stanley. Other children teased her about her name. Nonetheless, she used it through high school, "apologizing for it each time she introduced herself in a new town." By the time Dunham began attending college, she was known by her middle name, Ann, instead. After World War II, Dunham's family moved from Wichita to California while her father attended the University of California, Berkeley. In 1948, they moved to |
187_6 | Ponca City, Oklahoma, and from there to Vernon, Texas, and then to El Dorado, Kansas. In 1955, the family moved to Seattle, Washington, where her father was employed as a furniture salesman and her mother worked as vice president of a bank. They lived in an apartment complex in the Wedgwood neighborhood where she attended Nathan Eckstein Junior High School. |
187_7 | In 1956, Dunham's family moved to Mercer Island, an Eastside suburb of Seattle. Dunham's parents wanted their 13-year-old daughter to attend the newly opened Mercer Island High School. At the school, teachers Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman taught the importance of challenging social norms and questioning authority to the young Dunham, and she took the lessons to heart: "She felt she didn't need to date or marry or have children." One classmate remembered her as "intellectually way more mature than we were and a little bit ahead of her time, in an off-center way", and a high school friend described her as knowledgeable and progressive: "If you were concerned about something going wrong in the world, Stanley would know about it first. We were liberals before we knew what liberals were." Another called her "the original feminist". She went through high school "reading beatnik poets and French existentialists".
Family life and marriages |
187_8 | On August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state to be admitted into the Union. Dunham's parents sought business opportunities in the new state, and after graduating from high school in 1960, Dunham and her family moved to Honolulu. Dunham enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. |
187_9 | First marriage
While attending a Russian language class, Dunham met Barack Obama Sr., the school's first African student. At the age of 23, Obama Sr. had come to Hawaii to pursue his education, leaving behind a pregnant wife, Kezia, and their infant son in his home town of Nyang'oma Kogelo in Kenya. Dunham and Obama Sr. were married on the Hawaiian island of Maui on February 2, 1961, despite parental opposition from both families. Dunham was three months pregnant. Obama Sr. eventually informed Dunham about his first marriage in Kenya but claimed he was divorced. Years later she discovered this was false. Obama Sr.'s first wife, Kezia, later said she had granted her consent for him to marry a second wife in keeping with Luo customs. |
187_10 | On August 4, 1961, at the age of 18, Dunham gave birth to her first child, Barack Obama in Honolulu. Friends in the state of Washington recall her visiting with her month-old baby in 1961. |
187_11 | She studied at the University of Washington from September 1961 to June 1962, and lived as a single mother in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle with her son while her husband continued his studies in Hawaii. When Obama Sr. graduated from the University of Hawaii in June 1962, he was offered a scholarship to study in New York City, but declined it, preferring to attend the more prestigious Harvard University. He left for Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he began graduate study at Harvard in the fall of 1962. Dunham returned to Honolulu and resumed her undergraduate education at the University of Hawaii with the spring semester in January 1963. During this time, her parents helped her raise the young Barack. Dunham filed for divorce in January 1964, which Obama Sr. did not contest. In December 1964, Obama Sr. married Ruth Baker, a Jewish American of Lithuanian-Jewish heritage; they were separated in 1971 and divorced in 1973 after having two sons. In 1965, Obama Sr. received a MA |
187_12 | in economics from Harvard. In 1971, he stayed in Hawaii for a month and visited his 10 year old son Barack. In 1982, Obama Sr. was killed in a car accident. |
187_13 | Second marriage
It was at the East–West Center that Dunham met Lolo Soetoro, a Javanese surveyor who had come to Honolulu in September 1962 on an East–West Center grant to study geography at the University of Hawaii. Soetoro graduated from the University of Hawaii with an MA in geography in June 1964. In 1965, Soetoro and Dunham were married in Hawaii, and in 1966, Soetoro returned to Indonesia. Dunham graduated from the University of Hawaii with a B.A. in anthropology on August 6, 1967, and moved in October the same year with her six-year-old son to Jakarta, Indonesia, to rejoin her husband. |
187_14 | In Indonesia, Soetoro worked first as a low-paid topographical surveyor for the Indonesian government, and later in the government relations office of Union Oil Company. The family first lived at 16 Kyai Haji Ramli Tengah Street in a newly built neighborhood in the Menteng Dalam administrative village of the Tebet subdistrict in South Jakarta for two and a half years, with her son attending the nearby Indonesian-language Santo Fransiskus Asisi (St. Francis of Assisi) Catholic School for 1st, 2nd, and part of 3rd grade, then in 1970 moved two miles north to 22 Taman Amir Hamzah Street in the Matraman Dalam neighborhood in the Pegangsaan administrative village of the Menteng subdistrict in Central Jakarta, with her son attending the Indonesian-language government-run Besuki School one and half miles east in the exclusive Menteng administrative village of the Menteng subdistrict for part of 3rd grade and for 4th grade. On August 15, 1970, Soetoro and Dunham had a daughter, Maya Kassandra |
187_15 | Soetoro. |
187_16 | In Indonesia, Dunham enriched her son's education with correspondence courses in English, recordings of Mahalia Jackson, and speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. In 1971, she sent the young Obama back to Hawaii to attend Punahou School starting in 5th grade rather than having him stay in Indonesia with her. Madelyn Dunham's job at the Bank of Hawaii, where she had worked her way up over a decade from clerk to becoming one of its first two female vice presidents in 1970, helped pay the steep tuition, with some assistance from a scholarship.
A year later, in August 1972, Dunham and her daughter moved back to Hawaii to rejoin her son and begin graduate study in anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Dunham's graduate work was supported by an Asia Foundation grant from August 1972 to July 1973 and by an East–West Center Technology and Development Institute grant from August 1973 to December 1978. |
187_17 | Dunham completed her coursework at the University of Hawaii for an M.A. in anthropology in December 1974, and after having spent three years in Hawaii, Dunham, accompanied by her daughter Maya, returned to Indonesia in 1975 to do anthropological field work. Her son chose not to go with them back to Indonesia, preferring to finish high school at Punahou School in Honolulu while living with his grandparents. Lolo Soetoro and Dunham divorced on November 5, 1980; Lolo Soetoro married Erna Kustina in 1980 and had two children, a son, Yusuf Aji Soetoro (born 1981), and daughter, Rahayu Nurmaida Soetoro (born 1987). Lolo Soetoro died, age 52, on March 2, 1987, due to liver failure.
Dunham was not estranged from either ex-husband and encouraged her children to feel connected to their fathers. |
187_18 | Professional life
From January 1968 to December 1969, Dunham taught English and was an assistant director of the Lembaga Persahabatan Indonesia Amerika (LIA)–the Indonesia-America Friendship Institute at 9 Teuku Umar Street in the Gondangdia administrative village of the Menteng subdistrict in Central Jakarta–which was subsidized by the United States government. From January 1970 to August 1972, Dunham taught English and was a department head and a director of the Lembaga Pendidikan dan Pengembangan Manajemen (LPPM)–the Institute of Management Education and Development at 9 Menteng Raya Street in the Kebon Sirih administrative village of the Menteng subdistrict in Central Jakarta.
From 1968 to 1972, Dunham was a co-founder and active member of the Ganesha Volunteers (Indonesian Heritage Society) at the National Museum in Jakarta. From 1972 to 1975, Dunham was crafts instructor (in weaving, batik, and dye) at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. |
187_19 | Dunham then had a career in rural development, championing women's work and microcredit for the world's poor and worked with leaders from organizations supporting Indonesian human rights, women's rights, and grass-roots development.
In March 1977, Dunham, under the supervision of agricultural economics professor Leon A. Mears, developed and taught a short lecture course at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Indonesia (FEUI) in Jakarta for staff members of BAPPENAS (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional)—the Indonesian National Development Planning Agency.
From June 1977 through September 1978, Dunham carried out research on village industries in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY)—the Yogyakarta Special Region within Central Java in Indonesia under a student grant from the East–West Center. As a weaver herself, Dunham was interested in village industries, and moved to Yogyakarta City, the center of Javanese handicrafts. |
187_20 | In May and June 1978, Dunham was a short-term consultant in the office of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Jakarta, writing recommendations on village industries and other non-agricultural enterprises for the Indonesian government's third five-year development plan (REPELITA III).
From October 1978 to December 1980, Dunham was a rural industries consultant in Central Java on the Indonesian Ministry of Industry's Provincial Development Program (PDP I), funded by USAID in Jakarta and implemented through Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI). |
187_21 | From January 1981 to November 1984, Dunham was the program officer for women and employment in the Ford Foundation's Southeast Asia regional office in Jakarta. While at the Ford Foundation, she developed a model of microfinance which is now the standard in Indonesia, a country that is a world leader in micro-credit systems. Peter Geithner, father of Tim Geithner (who later became U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in her son's administration), was head of the foundation's Asia grant-making at that time. |
187_22 | From May to November 1986 and from August to November 1987, Dunham was a cottage industries development consultant for the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan (ADBP) under the Gujranwala Integrated Rural Development Project (GADP). The credit component of the project was implemented in the Gujranwala district of the Punjab province of Pakistan with funding from the Asian Development Bank and IFAD, with the credit component implemented through Louis Berger International, Inc. Dunham worked closely with the Lahore office of the Punjab Small Industries Corporation (PSIC). |
187_23 | From January 1988 to 1995, Dunham was a consultant and research coordinator for Indonesia's oldest bank, Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) in Jakarta, with her work funded by USAID and the World Bank. In March 1993, Dunham was a research and policy coordinator for Women's World Banking (WWB) in New York. She helped WWB manage the Expert Group Meeting on Women and Finance in New York in January 1994, and helped the WWB take prominent roles in the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women held September 4–15, 1995 in Beijing, and in the UN regional conferences and NGO forums that preceded it. |
187_24 | On August 9, 1992, she was awarded PhD in anthropology from the University of Hawaii, under the supervision of Prof. Alice G. Dewey, with a 1,043-page dissertation titled Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: surviving and thriving against all odds. Anthropologist Michael Dove described the dissertation as "a classic, in-depth, on-the-ground anthropological study of a 1,200-year-old industry". According to Dove, Dunham's dissertation challenged popular perceptions regarding economically and politically marginalized groups, and countered the notions that the roots of poverty lie with the poor themselves and that cultural differences are responsible for the gap between less-developed countries and the industrialized West. According to Dove, Dunham |
187_25 | found that the villagers she studied in Central Java had many of the same economic needs, beliefs and aspirations as the most capitalist of Westerners. Village craftsmen were "keenly interested in profits", she wrote, and entrepreneurship was "in plentiful supply in rural Indonesia", having been "part of the traditional culture" there for a millennium.Based on these observations, Dr. Soetoro concluded that underdevelopment in these communities resulted from a scarcity of capital, the allocation of which was a matter of politics, not culture. Antipoverty programs that ignored this reality had the potential, perversely, of exacerbating inequality because they would only reinforce the power of elites. As she wrote in her dissertation, "many government programs inadvertently foster stratification by channeling resources through village officials", who then used the money to strengthen their own status further. |
187_26 | Dunham produced a large amount of professional papers that are held in collections of the National Anthropological Archives (NAA). Her daughter donated a collection of them that is categorized as the S. Ann Dunham papers, 1965-2013. This collection contains case studies, correspondence, field notebooks, lectures, photographs, reports, research files, research proposals, surveys, and floppy disks documenting her dissertation research on blacksmithing, as well as her professional work as a consultant for organizations such as the Ford Foundation and the Bank Raykat Indonesia (BRI). They are housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
Her field notes have been digitized and, in 2020, Smithsonian Magazine noted that an effort had been established for a project to transcribe them. Public participation in the transcription project was announced at the same time. |
187_27 | Illness and death
In late 1994, Dunham was living and working in Indonesia. One night, during dinner at a friend's house in Jakarta, she experienced stomach pain. A visit to a local physician led to an initial diagnosis of indigestion. Dunham returned to the United States in early 1995 and was examined at the Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and diagnosed with uterine cancer. By this time, the cancer had spread to her ovaries. She moved back to Hawaii to live near her widowed mother and died on November 7, 1995, 22 days short of her 53rd birthday. Following a memorial service at the University of Hawaii, Obama and his sister spread their mother's ashes in the Pacific Ocean at Lanai Lookout on the south side of Oahu. Obama scattered the ashes of his grandmother Madelyn Dunham in the same spot on December 23, 2008, weeks after his election to the presidency. |
187_28 | Obama talked about Dunham's death in a 30-second campaign advertisement ("Mother") arguing for health care reform. The ad featured a photograph of Dunham holding a young Obama in her arms as Obama talks about her last days worrying about expensive medical bills. The topic also came up in a 2007 speech in Santa Barbara: |
187_29 | I remember my mother. She was 52 years old when she died of ovarian cancer, and you know what she was thinking about in the last months of her life? She wasn't thinking about getting well. She wasn't thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality. She had been diagnosed just as she was transitioning between jobs. And she wasn't sure whether insurance was going to cover the medical expenses because they might consider this a preexisting condition. I remember just being heartbroken, seeing her struggle through the paperwork and the medical bills and the insurance forms. So, I have seen what it's like when somebody you love is suffering because of a broken health care system. And it's wrong. It's not who we are as a people. |
187_30 | Dunham's employer-provided health insurance covered most of the costs of her medical treatment, leaving her to pay the deductible and uncovered expenses, which came to several hundred dollars per month. Her employer-provided disability insurance denied her claims for uncovered expenses because the insurance company said her cancer was a preexisting condition. |
187_31 | Posthumous interest
In September 2008, the University of Hawaii at Mānoa held a symposium about Dunham. In December 2009, Duke University Press published a version of Dunham's dissertation titled Surviving against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia. The book was revised and edited by Dunham's graduate advisor, Alice G. Dewey, and Nancy I. Cooper. Dunham's daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng, wrote the foreword for the book. In his afterword, Boston University anthropologist Robert W. Hefner describes Dunham's research as "prescient" and her legacy as "relevant today for anthropology, Indonesian studies, and engaged scholarship". The book was launched at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Philadelphia with a special Presidential Panel on Dunham's work; The 2009 meeting was taped by C-SPAN. |
187_32 | In 2009, an exhibition of Dunham's Javanese batik textile collection (A Lady Found a Culture in its Cloth: Barack Obama's Mother and Indonesian Batiks) toured six museums in the United States, finishing the tour at the Textile Museum of Washington, D.C., in August. Early in her life, Dunham explored her interest in the textile arts as a weaver, creating wall hangings for her own enjoyment. After moving to Indonesia, she was attracted to the striking textile art of the batik and began to collect a variety of different fabrics.
In December 2010 Dunham was awarded the Bintang Jasa Utama, Indonesia's highest civilian award; the Bintang Jasa is awarded at three levels, and is presented to those individuals who have made notable civic and cultural contributions.
A lengthy major biography of Dunham by former New York Times reporter Janny Scott, titled A Singular Woman, was published in 2011. |
187_33 | The University of Hawaii Foundation has established the Ann Dunham Soetoro Endowment, which supports a faculty position housed in the Anthropology Department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and the Ann Dunham Soetoro Graduate Fellowships, providing funding for students associated with the East–West Center (EWC) in Honolulu, Hawaii.
In 2010 the Stanley Ann Dunham Scholarship was established for young women graduating from Mercer Island High School, Ann's alma mater. In its first six years the scholarship fund has awarded eleven college scholarships.
On January 1, 2012, President Obama and his family visited an exhibition of his mother's anthropological work on display at the East–West Center.
Filmmaker Vivian Norris's feature length biographical film of Ann Dunham entitled Obama Mama (La mère d'Obama-French title) premiered on May 31, 2014, as part of the 40th annual Seattle International Film Festival, not far from where Dunham grew up on Mercer Island. |
187_34 | Personal beliefs
In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama wrote, "My mother's confidence in needlepoint virtues depended on a faith I didn't possess... In a land [Indonesia] where fatalism remained a necessary tool for enduring hardship ... she was a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, position-paper liberalism." In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope Obama wrote, "I was not raised in a religious household ... My mother's own experiences ... only reinforced this inherited skepticism. Her memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones ... And yet for all her professed secularism, my mother was in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I've ever known." "Religion for her was "just one of the many ways—and not necessarily the best way—that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives," Obama wrote: |
187_35 | Dunham's best friend in high school, Maxine Box, said that Dunham "touted herself as an atheist, and it was something she'd read about and could argue. She was always challenging and arguing and comparing. She was already thinking about things that the rest of us hadn't." On the other hand, Dunham's daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng, when asked later if her mother was an atheist, said, "I wouldn't have called her an atheist. She was an agnostic. She basically gave us all the good books—the Bible, the Hindu Upanishads and the Buddhist scripture, the Tao Te Ching—and wanted us to recognize that everyone has something beautiful to contribute." "Jesus, she felt, was a wonderful example. But she felt that a lot of Christians behaved in un-Christian ways." |
187_36 | In a 2007 speech, Obama contrasted the beliefs of his mother to those of her parents, and commented on her spirituality and skepticism: "My mother, whose parents were nonpracticing Baptists and Methodists, was one of the most spiritual souls I ever knew. But she had a healthy skepticism of religion as an institution."
Obama also described his own beliefs in relation to the religious upbringing of his mother and father:

188_0 | Wallenstein is a medium-weight German-style board game designed by Dirk Henn and published by Queen Games in 2002. Though set during the Thirty Years' War, Wallenstein should not be confused with a complex wargame. Rather, it has the feel of a light strategy game with the familiar Euro elements of area control and resource management mixed in. As such, it has a wide range of appeal that attracts wargamers and non-wargamers alike.
Theme
Historical Context
Wallenstein is named for Albrecht von Wallenstein, the most influential commander of the Imperial Army during the Thirty Years' War (1618–48).
He won a series of victories, gaining the title of Duke of Mecklenburg. His goal was a large central European empire dominating Western Europe. His ambitions led to his dismissal in 1630, but he was reinstated to defend the empire against Swedish attack. He recovered Bohemia, but was defeated by Gustav II Adolph at Lutzen, and was again dismissed. |
