		Reporters Without Borders today condemned punitive measures taken by Somalia’s Islamic courts against the press in the past few days, including the closure of the privately-owned Radio Jowhar and the arbitrary detention for 48 hours of Osman Adan Areys, a journalist based in the central city of Beledweyn.
		Beledweyn-based journalists quoted by NUSOJ said Areys was arrested because of a radio report in which members of the city’s population complained about the restrictions being imposed by the Islamic courts.

	Tuning the Music Therapist - Depression
		Music so strongly evokes emotional responses that it is being more frequently employed in the context of psychotherapy as a powerful healing modality.
		In the same way, if the music therapist who is helping to facilitate a realignment of the patient's bio-energy field is "out of tune" this will not only limit the healing process but could also potentially be harmful for the patient.
		The extent to which a music therapist, or any therapist for that matter, is ruled by such beliefs renders her/him unable to effect a true state of internal harmony and optimal tuning in the patient.
