The Afghan Women Jailed for Being Victims of Rape
by Terri Judd (The Independent
by Aluf Benn (Haaretz
Most of the coverage of the Georgia-Russia conflict has been simplistic and one-sided.
Thomas de Waal's writings are the best I've read. He is Caucasus editor at the Institute for War and Peace Reporting. I have posted links to two articles: one recent and the
other from May that provide clear background context and astute analysis.

"It's in the tradition of Cretan innovators like Ross Daly & Stelios Petrakis (who also use Turkish, Persian, and other influences), yet also carries an element of Celtic music, as well as something transcendent & beyond categorization."

At the regal age of 14 years, Lyuba died peacefully at S.F.'s
Mission Pet Hospital on July 26, 2008.
Lyuba had quite a journey. She lived her first 11 years with
Paul Pena, the world's first and only gut bucket blues Tuvan
throat singer, and star of the Oscar nominated film
"Genghis Blues". When Paul's apartment almost burnt down
and he was hospitalized, Lyuba survived. When Paul died in
2005, one of his dearest friends, Amy Hanks, rescued Lyuba.
During the last 3 years Amy provided Lyuba with boundless
love and affection, and essential medical attention. The first
thing she did was put Lyuba on a healthy diet, and a 20
pound obese feline transformed into a svelte 14 pound queen.
Lyuba was recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
She succumbed after fluid built up in her lungs and caused
labored breathing. Lyuba joins Paul and Subi in Tangents
heaven.
