That's what Congressman Joe Kennedy thinks Massachusetts could be once Bill Clinton takes up residence in the White House. Kennedy, who was re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the Eighth District last week, is confident that under Clinton's leadership the commonwealth-as well as the nation -will rise from the ashes, rejuvenated and energized. "[President-elect] Clinton has promised to fo­ cus on jobs, education and health care for all Americans," Kennedy said.

  • 2020 Conference Workshop Information FINAL
    2020 KEYNOTE AND PLENARY DESCRIPTIONS Keynote: Ken Cohen Keynote Title: The Way of Qigong: Ancient Roots, Scientific Branches Description: In the fifth century BCE Lao Zi, the founder of Daoism, wrote, “Returning to the root is called tranquility and the renewal of life.” In this dynamic talk, Ken Cohen will explore the ancient sources of qigong in Shamanism, Daoism, and Chinese medicine, and how qigong’s healing benefits are validated by modern science. Yet qigong is far more than a complementary therapy; rather, through its gentle exercises and meditations, it links us to the source of life energy in the universe, what in China is called “the original qi of Heaven and Earth.” It thus reboots the body’s entire healing system and restores balance and harmony. Bio: Ken Cohen, M.A. (www.qigonghealing.com) is a renowned Qigong Grandmaster, author of The Way of Qigong (Random House) and more than 250 journal articles, including various works in the Chinese language. With more than 50 years of experience, he was the first person to lecture about qigong in U.S. medical schools. Ken is the recipient of the International Lifetime Achievement Award in Energy Medicine. Plenary Presenter Name: Jianye Jiang Bio: Jianye Jiang has made it his life’s mission to not only continually develop himself as a martial artist but to also dedicate himself to the teaching of authentic Chinese martial arts here in America. He was born China in 1950. He began studying martial arts the age of 5, learning from the most well known masters (including Yu Mingwei, Yu Hai and many others).

  • Page 1 of 5 Benjamin Spock Conspiracy 7/25/2009
    Benjamin Spock Conspiracy Page 1 of 5 excerpt from It Did Happen Here by Bud and Ruth Schultz (University of California Press, 1989) The Conspiracy to Oppose the Vietnam War, Oral History of Benjamin Spock The Selective Service Act of 1948 made it a criminal offense for a person to knowingly counsel, aid, or abet someone in refusing or evading registration in the armed forces. In 1968, Dr. Benjamin Spock and four others were indicted for conspiring to violate this act. Evidence of the conspiracy was to be found in the public expressions of the defendants: hours of selectively edited newsreel footage of press conferences, demonstrations, and public addresses they made in opposition to government policy in Vietnam. What could better symbolize the damage such prosecutions made on the free marketplace of ideas? Why were they charged with conspiracy to counsel, aid, and abet rather than with the commission of those acts themselves? Conspiracy, Judge Learned Hand said, is "the darling of the modern prosecutor's nursery."' It relaxes ordinary rules of evidence, frequently results in higher penalties than the substantive crime, may extend the statue of limitations, and holds all conspirators responsible for the acts of each. The conspirators may have acted entirely in the open, they may never have met; they may have agreed only implicitly; they may never have acted illegally. It's enough that they were of a like mind to do so. When applied to political activity, writing, and speech, a conspiracy charge has virtually no limits. Government attorneys could have included as co-conspirators the publishers of Dr.

  • Southern Mantis System Are Short Range, Based on Inch Force Power That Comes from Tendon Contraction
    Southern Praying Mantis system written by F.Blanco 1.ORIGINS In 1644 AD, the Manchurian tribe had invaded China and defeated the Ming dynasty rulers. Ming loyalist, nobles and soldiers, escaped and went south. As pointed by the Wushu historian Salvatore Canzonieri, many of this rebels relocated in the The Honan Shaolin. The Ching rulers discovered the temple was a focus of resistance and they burned Songshan Shaolin in 1768. After the destruction of the temple many of the Chu family and other nobles and also many Shaolin monks from Honan moved to the South Shaolin temples (Fujian and Jian Shi). The Chu Gar style legend mentions Tang Chan, (his real name was Chu Fook Too or Chu Fook To), who belonged to the Ming Imperial court (1) as one of this rebels that emigrated to the Southern temples. At the Fujian temple (located in the Nine Little Lotus Mountains) the monks and rebels shortened the time it took to master the boxing styles from 10 years to 3 years with the purpose of train quickly the fighters to overthrow the Ching rulers and restore the Ming dynasty. The Chu Gar legend says that Chu Fook Too became abbot in the Fujian temple and changed his name to "Tung Sim" (anguish) due to his deep anguish and hatred for the Ching's reign of terror and suffering. In the style's legend he was the person that developed the Southern Praying Mantis style. The monks (or Chu Fook Too himself) developed kung fu fighting styles that were faster to learn, based on close range fighting, designed to defeat a martial art skilled opponent (Manchu soldiers and Imperial Guard) with fast, powerful chains of attacks that left no time for counter-attacks.

  • How to Stop Bleeding
    HOW TO STOP BLEEDING Managing Common Injuries in the Martial Arts Article Written by Thomas Richard Joiner Published in martialforce.com The empirical medical skills that were perfected over the course of many centuries by our martial ancestors through the difficult often painful process of trial and error consisted mainly of ancient Ta- oist healing practices along with techniques that were a carry over from the branch of traditional Chi- nese medicine called Dit Da Yao — more commonly referred to as “hit medicine.” Some of the pri- mary tools for managing injuries included techniques like re-setting bones that had been broken or dislocated from a joint, known as bone-setting; a technique called bleeding that was performed by piercing the skin in order to release bruised-blood caused by blunt force trauma, often described as being all black and blue; in addition to using herbs in conjunction with techniques frequently used in Chinese Trauma medicine for treating internal as well as external bleeding. It was the need to manage minor injuries like muscle strains and sprained ligaments — which were considered unavoidable consequences of training — as well as serious combat wounds such as incisions, stab wounds, and blunt force trauma caused by empty hand strikes and strikes from an assortment of solid objects, that was the primary motivation for martial artists to develop skills in Osteopathy, Traumatology and Herbology. With limited medical options, a martial artist’s ability to skillfully apply emergency first-aid techniques along with administering herbal prescriptions with prov- en curative abilities was often a matter of life or death.

  • 108 Medicine Directions
    108 Medicines In Chinese medicine, trauma and injury affect the normal circulation of the body, causes qi and blood stasis. This will lead to the perception of pain. There is also the idea that cold and damp can penetrate areas of the body where the vital energy has been compromised. This can lead to arthritic pains with age that often increase with weather changes, and can be difficult to treat. In cases of acute trauma where ice seems necessary, use these topical formulas instead. The sooner the injury is treated, the sooner it will get better. In most cases, medical advice is to rest and elevate. By using these liniments, an injury will recover faster. The mechanism of action is reducing inflammation while dispersing congealed blood and fluids. All recipes are plant and/or mineral based - using no animal/insect based ingredients. All ingredients are wild- crafted or organically sourced as much as possible. Ingredients are proprietary to 108 schools only. There are no exact reproductions in existence. All medicinal use, instructions, and recipes are sanctioned, and below referenced by Sifu Brent Ramos, Dr. Johnson Chiu, and the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, San Francisco, CA. All medicines are hand-made by pestle/mortar, and small batch. 108 Dit Da Jow - Trauma Liniment An ancient recipe using all natural Chinese herbs & minerals for healing bruises caused by blood clots due to striking, falling, or just general bruising. Our Dit D Jow is also great for helping to soothe sore muscles after hard training. This recipe & process has been reviewed by Dr.

  • Kits Dit Da Jow 跌打酒
    Traditional ‘Fall and Hit Liniment’ Kits Dit Da Jow 跌打酒 One of the classical specialties of Chinese medicine was known as Fall and Hit Medicine, or Die Da Ke 跌打科 in Mandarin. This was the original medicine to treat traumatic injury and pain, and included a wide variety of therapies including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, physical manipulation, and therapeutic exercises. One of the very characteristic forms of herbal medicine from this specialty was external herbal applications in the forms of poultices, soaks, oils and liniments. In particular, liniments became famous in martial arts circles for their efficacy in treating all sorts of pain and injury. These traditional liniments are called Die Da Jiu 跌打酒 ("Fall and Hit Wine") in Mandarin, or Dit Da Jow in Cantonese, the name more commonly seen in the western world. While commercially produced Dit Da Jow are commonly available, authentic hand made Dit Da Jow is becoming a thing of the past. Now, martial arts schools can make their own Dit Da Jow with pre-made kits. Each kit comes with a glass container and enough herbs to make either ½ gallon or 1 gallon of finished liniment. The alcohol base, preferably vodka, is not supplied. Several standard pre-made formulas are available (depending on herb availability), or custom made formulas can be made to order. 1 Available Formula Kits TAIJI (TAI CHI) FIVE FRAGRANCE LINIMENT 太極五香酒 Taiji Five Fragrance Liniment comes from Dr. McCann's Taiji (Tai Chi) lineage, and was a formula used by Taiji Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang. A version of it also was used in the Shaolin Temple, the famous birthplace of many Chinese martial arts.
