Damn! You'd think that there would be at least one theater in New Jersey or the Philly area that would show it. | |||

The January 20th screen in Landsdowne isn't that far. If you're coming from Center City Philly, it's a 20 minute drive, or you can take the Media/Elwin train there in about half an hour. Obviously a little harder if you're coming from Jersey or can't access the train, but maybe you can make it over there? Surprised that Canada is getting nationwide screenings, albeit only for two days. Maybe I'll check it out if I have time. |

Oh well. Not like it's canon. |

Of course the only California showings are in the LA and Bay areas. No one notices us up here, anyway. I'll just wait for it to come out on DVD because 3 hours is a bit much to drive just to see a movie. | |||

No showings in Virginia? At least the Pokemon movie had FIVE showings here... The closest to me in about four hours away in Washington DC. I will NOT be able to drive/ride hours away just to see a film. I wish FUNi would include multiple showings in every state. They'll get more of an audience! | |||

Oh no, it's far better than DC. That is a week-long engagement of the dub in Bethesda, MD. Too bad it's at Montgomery Mall though, closer to a Metro stop would be nice. Okay FUNi, you win, maybe I'll go catch it in theatres afterall. |

Nominated : The actor has not yet received the award, but will receive it.
No, it means the actor is one of several who is being considered for the single award.
4-8 may be nominated, but only one wins it.
Nominated means he is nominated for award but for the same category multiple person get selected but only one can won it.

More jobs require social media know how
Training preps students for evolving workplace
- Lauren Darm, Correspondent
Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. YouTube. Instagram. Google+. Blogger. Tumblr. The list of social media websites that can provide promotional opportunities for businesses is ever-expanding. And the list of businesses that are using these sites is growing, too.
According to a recent survey from The Business Journals, social networks have dramatically taken off in the important small and mid-sized business markets. The growth is so big that over the past four years, the number of key decision makers using social networks rose from 28 percent to 76 percent in the small to mid-sized markets. More than half of the businesses surveyed have a social media strategy in place.
"The question isn't if businesses should get involved in social media. It's when," said Lakshmi Goel, an assistant professor of information systems in the University of North Florida's Coggin College of Business. "It's when they start trying to understand it. Once they do realize this is something they need to understand, I think it's extremely important to provide students who know these skill sets and make sure they're ready for that."
Real-life teaching
Goel started teaching a course in the spring called Social Media and Data Analytics in Business, which has expanded into both an undergraduate and graduate course. She said it's vital for college students to understand social media and how to use it to meet business objectives. This is especially true as more and more companies open positions specifically designed to handle their social media marketing campaigns.
Goel's students work on real-life projects for small Jacksonville businesses that are expanding into social media. They work to help those companies meet their business goals.

The Replacements set to reunite at Toronto's Riot Fest
Riot Mike, a.k.a. Mike Petryshyn, says "Everybody knows that they're going to come out and it'll be a great set."
As far as reunions go, Toronto's Riot Fest struck the jackpot.
The Replacements are set to play their first gig since they walked off the stage July 4, 1991 in Chicago, when Riot Fest hits Fort York on Aug 24 to 25.
But why is Toronto getting the treat of punk summer festivals when the iconic Minneapolis band reunites? It has a lot to do with Brantford, Ont., and a young man who would later be known as Riot Mike, then listening to Motley Crue as a teen.
Mike Petryshyn, a Buffalo native and co-promoter of Riot Fest with Sean McKeough, had family friends north of the border. It was there, in a Brantford basement, Petryshyn says, that he got his first listen to the music that would shape his life.
"The Story of the Clash, Vol. 1," Petryshyn, 35, said, "That pretty much changed my life. . . . That's why, at least emotionally, I'm invested in Toronto. Because had it not been for my friends in Canada, I probably would not be doing what I'm doing."
Thank Brantford that Petryshyn became Riot Mike, one of two men behind one of the most affordable festivals — punk or otherwise — running in Chicago since 2005. Tickets for both days start at $70.
"There's many people who've never seen them live, including myself," Petryshyn said of The Replacements, a band that's influenced a generation of punk, including Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.
"Everybody knows that they're going to come out and it'll be a great set. . . . There's a general excitement about it. It's not just fans, it's music people and amateur stage hands. Everybody wants to see them," Petryshyn said.
Whether he actually sees The Replacements is another story.
"I'll probably be putting out fires or something like that," Petryshyn laughed. "I rarely get to enjoy the shows. I've been doing this for what, nine years now. And out of the nine years I've probably caught maybe 20 sets."
Petryshyn said that comes with the territory and any promoter knows that in advance. But so do the backstage interactions — most stories he can't tell.
Iggy and The Stooges is another headliner Petryshyn is eager to see.
"I love seeing The Stooges, man. That's really my jam," Petryshyn said. "They played a set in Chicago last year, just killed it, energy, and it was something special . . . Iggy is one of the greatest frontmen ever."
Other notables on Sunday will be The Weakerthans and Dinosaur Jr. on Sunday. On Saturday, Pierce the Veil and A Day to Remember headline the fest's first day on the Fort York grounds.
Riot Fest will take The Replacements back to two other dates on their tour, in Denver and Petryshyn's now hometown of Chicago.
"We want to make Toronto just as big as Chicago," Petryshyn said, looking forward.
"We're both still hungry. It's getting bigger each and every year. Is it stressful? Yes. There are times where we're like screw this, we're never going to do this again, but that's not going to happen.
"There's something here, right? And how it all ends up five years from now, we don't know. . . . So why give up?"
Thank Brantford, Toronto punk fans.

A review of Andrew Bujalski's "Results."
The "Nightmare on Elm Street" series has a reputation in the movie business as sort of a high-rent answer to the "Friday the 13th" saga, and this third episode lives up to the billing. It's slick, it has impressive production values and the acting is appropriate to the material. So why did I find myself so indifferent to the movie? Maybe because it never generated any sympathy for its characters. This is filmmaking by the numbers, without soul.
A great horror film begins with its characters and establishes their humanity. We have to care for them before the shocks can begin, or otherwise even the best special effects will be exercises in technology. Make a list of your favorite horror films, from "Nosferatu" to "The Exorcist" (1973), and you'll remember the people who were involved. One reason Sigourney Weaver deserved her Oscar nomination is because she brought a solid foundation of sympathy to a character surrounded by props.
In "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (which has the longest title in several years), I never felt that sympathy. All the characters seemed adrift in a machine-made script, a script devised as a series of pegs to hang the special effects on. The story involves the surviving "Elm Street children," whose parents, we learn, were vigilantes who cornered a child-killer down in the old junkyard and burned him alive. (If you live on Elm Street, ask yourself: Does this sound like your neighbors?) According to a mysterious nun who's always hanging around, the ghost of that man was not buried in consecrated ground. Therefore, he haunts the dreams of the children. And thanks to the psychic ability of one of the children, they all can enter each other's dreams. I'm not sure how this child's psychic gift works, but I think it's something like a computer network in which each kid's input reads out on everybody's screen.
All of the kids have horrible nightmares, of course, and they've been brought together at a local psychiatric hospital, where the brave young doctor (Craig Wasson) and the new dream specialist (Heather Langenkamp) believe the kids' stories and try to help them. That involves, of course, entering the mutual dream and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the child-killer's ghost, while simultaneously trying to discover his bones and douse them with holy water.
I never really cared about the kids, however. The byplay between the doctors and administrators was assembled from standard institutional cliches. A couple of the nightmare moments had good special effects, especially when one of the kids is seduced by a naked nurse, then strapped to a bed with human tongues and suspended above a fiery pit. In light of the current controversy over "Angel Heart," I kept wondering if the movie would have gotten an X rating if the kid had been played by Lisa Bonet.
If some of the special effects are good, the movie also contains a classic line of dialogue. The child-killer, we learn, was conceived after his mother was held captive in a madhouse; he is therefore, and I quote, "the bastard son of a hundred maniacs." Now that would make a great title for a movie.

Score from 17 reviews
We stayed on the third floor. The room was very nice and perfect for my family of 5. Breakfast was great and the pool was just fine. Staff was very nice and friendly as well.
The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke on the third floor. We had to use a towel to put up next to the bottom of our door to keep the smell out. The guys who work on the oil field are going to ruin this hotel.
I liked the location. It was great being right at the beginning of town. And I could walk to the shopping that was close by didn't have to drive if I didn't want to. I slept great. I liked how quiet at night it was. No loud traffic. The facility was very nice. I am pleased. Will stay again.
Nothing I can think of
Clean and attendents and staff were guest friendly. Nice coffee shop for visiting, decent breakfast, always coffee if you wanted it.
Stool was loose from the floor, towels were forgotten on the second day, doors not safe and don't latch properly (More than just our room). Room was violated and skoal can left in my trash can one evening while we were out, nothing that we know of was stolen. Door still wasn't repaired properly when we left. Lady property manager mentioned maybe there should be no charge for all the inconveniences. Nothing came about as a result of that conversation. Overpriced, maybe just a shade above average facility. We booked thru Booking.com. Others were getting the same rates when they walked in. That Stinks. Pool and hot tub were down during our entire two day stay. We book with a lot of family and at least a total of six rooms so we could enjoy the pool and facilities together. Highly disappointed.

You sir, are very funny. All-in-one cooling cannot compete with a good custom built loop.
I do agree it's still water cooling, but one is just all-in-one water cooling while the other is custom. :D

The H100, et al don't cool your GPU, etc. They also don't look nearly as cool.
Sure, in absolute terms a custom loop will perform better but the H100 compares well especially for the price.

Competes very well with high end air for twice the price ;)
I come from the "good old days" of watercooling, which is not very long ago. We used to use pond pumps and Bonneville heater cores and you used to NEED water to reach a good 24/7 stable overclock.
Biggest thing that gets me is when I used to sell a lot of "custom watercooled rigs" on CraigsList and then those AIO's started being popular and people that didn't know what they were actually getting (90%) didn't want my well built and high quality stuff anymore :p
Yeah, I remember building my first watercooling system with a swiftech block and a heater core. Those were fun times with the 300A.
For what it's worth, the folks that don't know the difference between a custom wc rig and an all in one probably wouldn't benefit all that much from the improved cooling in the custom unit.

Edited by Uberbob102000 - 3/12/13 at 6:32pm
I really, really like both items. I'm upgrading from a Beresford/Virtue Audio/Usher S-520 setup that I really liked and used for several years for desktop music. The Wadia 151 was a nice improvement, the Ushers really sang with it. The Dyn's throw up an amazing soundstage though, and really have a great vocal clarity and sense of space. They're probably not 3x better than the Ushers (price comparison) but they are definitely a great set of speakers. I had a severe case of upgrade-itis and some spending money, and so far I've been really pleased with the sound. :)

I have the same desk, but with a second section leading from the left to a rounded storage area. I like the left section to hold my headphone gear and assorted other stuff. Lemme see if I can dig up an old pic.
Here it is.. from about 4 years ago.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I really want that desk now. Its so hard for me to find a desk with a keyboard tray that can hold both my mouse and keyboard for resonably priced since I like massive micepads. Mind letting me know if that particular one is still in production?

Yes, mine was an OfficeMax purchase about 8 years ago as well. It's really nice and functional, but not exactly the best build quality.

Banco Santander-Chile ( BSAC ) has been on a bit of a cold streak lately, but there might be light at the end of the tunnel for this overlooked stock. And for technical investors there is some hope when looking at BSAC given that, according to its RSI reading of 22.36, it is now in oversold territory. What is RSI? RSI stands for 'Relative Strength Index' and it is a popular indicator used by technically focused investors. It compares the average of gains in days that closed up to the average of losses in days that closed down; readings above 70 suggest an asset is overbought, while an RSI below 30 suggests undervalued conditions are present. Other Factors Yet, BSAC's low RSI value isn't the only reason to have some optimism over a coming turnaround, as there has been plenty of positive earnings estimate revision activity as of late. This is especially true when investors take a deep dive into some of these estimate revision stats and recent changes to Banco Santander-Chile's earnings consensus. Over the past two months, investors have seen 2 earnings estimate revisions move higher, compared with none lower, at least when looking at the key current year time frame. And the consensus estimate for BSAC has also been on an upward trend over the past 60 days, as estimates have risen from $1.91/share two months ago to just $2.01/share right now. If this wasn't enough, Banco Santander-Chile also has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) which puts it into rare company among its peers. So, given all of these factors, investors may want to consider getting in on this stock now (or holding on), as there are some favorable trends that could bubble up for this stock before long.

1966 Buick Convertible Barn Find Rescue, Part 1 This is the story of a '66 Buick Special convertible that had been abandoned in Arizona in 1978 by the family of Rick Pewe, editor of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine. In 2011, the guys from HOT ROD Magazine, in conjunction with Rick, spent four days bringing the car back from the dead with plans to drive it home from Phoenix to Los Angeles. This is part 1, with the hacking fun the guys had rescuing the car. Look for part two, loaded with road-trip hilarity. The story is printed in the September 2011 issue of HOT ROD Magazine.

In another accurate, fun and informative TFLcar Mashup Review the boys drive the 2014 Buick Regal turbo up the Loveland Gauntlet to see how well the car's all-wheel-drive system manages in the snowy Colorado mountains.

135021 / 1987 Buick Grand National For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/m8ncg8d All black, all business and so sinister even your shut-in grandmother knows it means trouble, this prim and polished Buick backs $31K worth of V6 power with a modified drivetrain and custom suspension! BODYWORK/TRIM This Grand National's wet-looking coat of GM code 19U Black highlights original sheetmetal that's both crisp and sharp. The car's vertical panels center straight surfaces in even gaps, showing no signs of damage or accident repairs. And, topped by great looking, factory-correct trim, the finish on those panels is every bit as glossy as it is deep. ENGINE The professionally built sixer behind this coupe's Vader-like grille is founded on a new block that was magnafluxed, sonic-tested, squared, honed, bored .020 and fitted with CNC-ported Champion Racing heads. Inside that block, A SCAT stroker crank combines with billet, hand-machined rods, machined and coated Ross Racing pistons and a Comp hydraulic roller cam to provide smooth inertia. Combustion is created when 8mm AC Delco Premium Silicone wires bump Morel roller rockers, Morel pushrods and Morel lifters. A steady amalgamation of oxygen and fossils is provided by a K&N air filter, a 70mm Accufab throttle body, a ported and matched intake, Alkycontrol Methanol Injection and 60# fuel injectors. And coated headers, a PTE high-flow Intercooler, fabricated air tubes and a TA Performance oil pump keep everything lucid and cool. All those carefully calculated improvements are, with the help of a turboTweak chip, good for a universally impressive 550 Dyno-proven rear wheel horsepower. And items like ARP bolts, ARP studs, Cometic gaskets, coated engine bearings and a Cloyes roller timing set ensure everything works in unison to provide invigorating and equally terrifying acceleration. DRIVETRAIN Behind that raucous engine, a custom-programmed Four C's automatic transmission makes good use of a SCAT flywheel, a 3,500 RPM non-lockup stall and 200R4 billet internals. That gearbox twists torque through a billet yoke, a heavy duty driveshaft, heavy duty U-joints and a proven Currie 9-inch, which is fitted with beefy, 3.53 gears. Factory power steering rides between QA1 Street Control Arms and adjustable QA1 coil-over-shocks. Out back, adjustable QA1 trailing arms compress two more QA1 coil-over-shocks. Power-assisted stops are provided by a combination of big Wilwood calipers, drilled and slotted rotors and 11-inch GM drums. Charred dinosaurs float in to rowdy Pypes Race Pro mufflers. And power meets pavement through Budnik X-Series Grand National wheels, which spin 225/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sports in front of 275/40R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. INTERIOR Inside this awesome street bruiser you'll find a correct Gray and Black interior that's virtually spotless. Leather-wrapped SCAT PROCAR buckets provide much more support than factory fodder. Opposite those seats, factory gauges inhabit a blocky dash that's free of warps and cracks. Below that dash, a factory console frames an elegant factory shifter. And, because increased safety is essential at this level of performance, everything is wrapped in a tasteful roll cage. With $31K in engine receipts alone, this incredible G-Body is an incredible bargain. And you can pretty much bank on the fact that the car will grow in value as it and its buyer base continues to mature. So, what are you waiting for? Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com and enjoy one of the nicest Grand Nationals on the planet WHILE it appreciates!

Bad-Ass Buick: 1955 Special - /BIG MUSCLE Owner: • Harry Fisher In stock form, the 1955 Buick Special could best be described as a "nice" car. It's not drop dead gorgeous like a 1959 Impala, nor does it have the panache of say a 1956 Chrysler 300. You see the '55 Buick Special was a working mans car. It had room enough for the whole family, a decent power-plant thanks to its 264 cubic inch V8, and style that was, well... above average. Harry Fisher or "Uncle Harry" as most people know him, saw the old Buick a bit differently though. He knew that with a few little touches (like a 502 cubic inch big-block, modern suspension, and a new set of wheels) that this old Buick had the potential to become one of the baddest hot-rods around.
Buick Grand National Tribute A tribute to the 1982-1987 Buick Grand National, one of the greatest muscle cars in history.
1987 Buick Grand National (Regal T-Type Turbo) Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review **I made an editing error at the beginning. Thanks a bunch to Streetside Classics of Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video! Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! YouTube's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the understated muscle car of the late 80s, the Buick Grand National, this one specifically the Regal T-Type. The GN and the T-Type are identical except for badging and interior trim. It wasn't until you stepped it on up to the GNX did you get the truly different package (which I will explain in the video). The GN is arguably the most menacing looking buick of all time with it's black monochrome paint scheme and turbo charged 3.8 V6 pumping out amazing performance numbers for the time period, even today! A unique experience to be able to check out one of these beasts. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and Exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of YouTube!

George Michael Admits Three-Car Crash
LATEST: Former Wham! star George Michael has admitted crashing into three parked cars in North London and will be quizzed by police. The pop star, who was arrested for possessing cannabis earlier this year (26FEB06) when he was found slumped at the wheel of his car, was accused by witnesses on Sunday morning (16APR06) of shunting a string of vehicles in his $105,000 (GBP60,000) top-of-the-range motor. The incident saw Michael drive away without telling owners he had bashed their cars, but a representative of the CARELESS WHISPER hitmaker has since reported it to police. A police spokeswoman confirms, "An appointment has been made to speak to the registered owner (of the vehicle) in due course." British newspaper the Daily Mirror reports the star has already made contact with victims over financial compensation for the damage caused.

A piece I wrote for a Forward blog, in reaction to a mother's lament over her newly-Orthodox daughter's described rejection of her parents can be read here.
A piece I wrote for a Forward blog, in reaction to a mother's lament over her newly-Orthodox daughter's described rejection of her parents can be read here. It comes as something of a revelation to many to confront the Rambam's treatment of kiddush Hashem, or "sanctification of Hashem's name" for the first time. One definition of the concept in Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah, 5:10 – perhaps its most essential one, has nothing to do with readiness to give up one's life or to act in a way that presents a good image of a Jew to others. To be sure, that the Torah commands us to be willing to perish rather than violate certain commandments (or any commandment – even custom – in certain circumstances) is well-known to most Jews with a modicum of Jewish knowledge. And the understanding that living an upstanding life, exemplifying honesty and sterling demeanor, is also a form of kiddush Hashem is likewise widely recognized. The Gemara in Yoma (86a) famously describes various amora'im's examples of such projection of Jewish personal values, labeling them kiddushei Hashem. What is surprising is the Rambam's statement that kiddush Hashem is something that can be accomplished as well entirely in private. In fact, particularly in private. "Anyone who violates, willingly, without any coercion, any of the precepts of the Torah…" reads the Rambam's psak, "has … Read More >> The carnival of carnage that seems a constant in the Islamic world proceeded tragically apace last week, with a suicide bombing at a gathering in Ibb, Yemen to commemorate Islam's founder's birthday. At least 23 people were killed; an Al Qaeda affiliate is the suspected culprit. Then, over in Afghanistan, at least 26 people attending a wedding party were killed, and 45 wounded, when a rocket struck a house during a firefight between government forces and Taliban insurgents. But what might rank as the week's most senseless loss of life took place in a non-Islamic land, China. At least 35 people were killed and 43 injured during a stampede in an area of Shanghai where tens of thousands had gathered to celebrate the advent of a new calendar year. The cause of that disaster is unclear, but it was reported that shortly before the crowd had grown restless, people in a nearby building had dropped green pieces of paper that looked like American $100 bills. Now, there's an awful metaphor for our covetous times. The pursuit of money is nothing new, of course. It has been the engine powering many a civilization, and the rot destroying many a human … Read More >> A driver, reportedly shouting an Islamic slogan, rammed a vehicle into pedestrians in the French city of Dijon last Sunday, injuring twelve people. Understandably, the attack (and several subsequent ones in France) brought back memories of this past autumn's spate of vehicular terrorist attacks in Israel. Although they seem to have abated in Israel (despite much Palestinian social media encouragement that they continue), the devil's brew of blood-lust and creativity in some Arab and Muslim hearts continues to boil apace. Spewed from the cauldron recently was one Yasmin Sha'aban, who, according to the Shin Bet, was planning to carry out a suicide attack in Israel. She intended to receive a permit ("for medical reasons") to travel from Jenin, where she lived, into Israel proper. There, she hoped to disguise herself as an expectant Jewish woman, with explosives hidden under her clothes, and create as much carnage as she possibly could. That plot, baruch Hashem, was interrupted by Israeli security forces; Ms. Sha'aban and several compatriots were taken into custody. It turned out that her friends had also planned to bomb a bus carrying soldiers and to kidnap a soldier. The perennial question returns: How to discourage such … Read More >> A slightly edited version of the letter below appears in the current New York Times Book Review: Editor: In reviewing "Living the Secular Life," Susan Jacoby misunderstands the argument of those who maintain that the idea that there can be "good without God" is absurd. The question isn't whether an atheist can live an ethical life; of course she can. And believers can do profoundly unethical things. But an atheist has no reason to choose an ethical life. "Good deed" or "bad deed" can have no more true meaning for him than good weather and bad weather; right and wrong, no more import than right and left. If we are mere evolved apes, even if evolution has bequeathed us a gut feeling that an ethical life is preferred, we have no more compelling reason to embrace that evolutionary artifact than we are to capitulate to others, like overeating in times of plenty. If dieting isn't immoral, neither is ignoring the small voice telling us that whacking our neighbor on the head and stealing his dog is wrong. Only a psychopath, Ms. Jacoby contends, could disagree with the Golden Rule. The evidence presented by the large number of people convicted … Read More >> My pre-Sukkos column about the furious, quasi-religious zeal of some environmental alarmists apparently generated some… well, furious, quasi-religious zeal. In an editorial, the New Jersey Jewish Standard's managing editor mocked my contention that the Creator is ultimately in charge of the universe He created; and the editor of the New Jersey Jewish News invoked the celebrated atheist Richard Dawkins to berate me for my skepticism about scientific predictions. (What's with Jersey? Has climate change done a number on its journalists' equanimity?) In my column, just to recall, I described my unease with the rage I heard at a large climate change rally, noted that the climate has changed in the past and, yes, contended that, in the end, the Creator is in charge, and our own charge is, above all, to heed His Torah. I did not, though, call into question the reality of climate change, or in any way disparage measures aimed at trying to curb it. I readily stated that "we do well to explore alternate energy sources and pollute less." But my sin, alas, was too great to bear. In addition to the two papers' public proclamations of my heresy, several Jewish individuals wrote me privately. … Read More >> A recent announcement by a respected Conservative rabbi has been trumpeted widely as evidence of his heroism. My take is somewhat different, and was published, to the periodical's credit, by the Forward. You can read it here There's nothing remotely funny, of course, about rabid Islamists beheading innocent Westerners they have kidnapped (or their fellow Muslims, for that matter). Yet, there is something bizarrely droll about the characterization of such slaughter, and in particular its filming and the dissemination of the resultant videos, as a "recruitment tool." According to experts like Peter Neumann, who directs a center for the study of political violence in London, that is the videos' goal, based on past successes in attracting new recruits. What I found almost humorous was the unthinkability (to put it mildly) of any group of normal human beings seeking adherents by murdering people on camera. Can you imagine the Mormon Church cutting off the heads of gentiles (its name for non-Mormons) in order to attract worshippers? The Republican party, to entice independents? The Rotary Club, to garner new members? The local Jewish Federation, to lure donors? You get the droll. And then the all-too-serious question presents itself: What does it say about a cause that it attracts people by means of the gleeful shedding of innocent blood? And a corollary: What does it say about the people so attracted? It is fashionable to seek to "understand" forces … Read More >> To the Editor: Dr. Barron H. Lerner concedes that it was proper for medicine to abandon the medical paternalism that had doctors make "life-and-death decisions for patients by themselves," but he asserts that doctors should be "bolder and more courageous," seeing "their duty not simply as providing options" but as ensuring "the most appropriate care," even if that means "saying no to specific demands." To be sure, patients and their families need to be well informed about treatments and prognoses. But it is not a doctor's role to make ultimate decisions for his patients. Dr. Lerner doesn't like interventions that have "little or no chance of succeeding." No one, though, has yet succeeded in surviving life indefinitely. And decisions about when, if ever, to give up on it are the province of patients and their religious advisers, not graduates of medical schools. (Rabbi) AVI SHAFRAN Director of Public Affairs Agudath Israel of America New York, Sept. 19, 2014 Other letters on the topic can be read here. In a good illustration of just how thick people who are intellectually gifted can be, the well-known biologist and militant atheist Richard Dawkins recently offered his opinion that Down syndrome children would best be prevented from being born. "It would be immoral," he wrote, "to bring it into the world if you have the choice." "It"? The dehumanization says it all. Professor Dawkins' judgment of birthing a developmentally disabled child as "immoral" stems from his belief (shared by another famously mindless professor, Peter Singer, who also advocates euthanasia for severely handicapped infants and elderly) that an act's morality should be gauged entirely by whether or not it increases happiness or suffering. Mr. Dawkins' comment drew considerable fire, as well it should have. Some of those who assailed the professor for his – let's here reclaim an important adjective – immoral stance focused on the factual error of his creepy calculus. Two psychology researchers wrote, for example, in something of an understatement, that "individuals with Down syndrome can experience more happiness and potential for success than Mr. Dawkins seems to appreciate." In fact, 99% of respondents to a survey of those with Down syndrome (yes, 99%) report that … Read More >> Over recent years, "Israelis have played a disproportionate role" in organ trafficking, The New York Times reported recently in a lengthy front-page story. Some Israeli entrepreneurs "have pocketed enormous sums for arranging overseas transplants for patients who are paired with foreign donors," according to court filings and government documents. The organs in question are kidneys. Most of us are born with two, although only one is necessary for living a normal life. Numerous people in renal failure have received kidneys donated by friends or relatives – even altruistic strangers. But the supply of transplantable organs is estimated by the World Health Organization to meet no more than a tenth of the need. And so a market for kidneys has emerged, and thousands of patients receive illicit transplants each year, often facilitated by brokers, like the accused Israelis, who match potential donors wishing to sell one of their kidneys to someone who desperately needs one. The brokers maintain that they operate legally and are simply engaged in facilitating legitimate business transactions. The unaddressed but poignant question here, though, is why the sale of kidneys is so widely perceived as immoral. Opponents of such sales say that since poor people, … Read More >> I suppose I should have realized something extraordinary was afoot when a friend messaged me on Facebook to ask if I was "okay." I wondered what he meant, until he said that he'd heard I was being "picked on." While it is true that my post reflecting on the entertainment industry, in the wake of Robin Williams' death, did get a lot of attention — I can't say I felt I was being "picked on." The first two responses were from people whose voices I have long respected, and whose comments were very favorable. Admittedly, this did not describe the comments of many others, but, as I'll explain in a moment, that didn't change my perception at all. But now that my friend Rabbi Shmuel Simanowitz, whose legal career included representing many musicians, decided to praise my post at a kiddush (money quote: "I can't tell you how many clients' funerals I've attended"), and my friend and former colleague (and noted Jewish musician) Rabbi Avraham Rosenblum has defended my perspective as well (though no, Avraham, I may indeed be "square," but not at all as argued) I suppose some follow-up commentary is in order. I would like … Read More >> I grew up watching Mork. I've seen Aladdin. I even, during college, watched him perform live. But I never knew Robin Williams. He was the consummate entertainer. He just knew how to make us laugh. His improvisation, his off-the-cuff remarks, were brilliantly funny. But we never understood who he really was. And that was, perhaps, the problem, that which made him so depressed as to bring him to a tragic end. With his passing, journalists and commentators are talking about mental illness and depression, recognizing the challenges he faced. [UPDATE: And let me make it clear that I am not commenting about most cases, or even necessarily his case, of mental illness or depression. A person with either must seek professional treatment and it is a Mitzvah to do so.] But I don't believe that Williams simply had a mental illness. Few are discussing how common depression seems to be among the leading entertainers — or why this is so. While I could of course be wrong in this one case, it is hard to imagine that so many entertainers, upon finding success, coincidentally develop depression. Someone challenged me, asking whether it is true that so many entertainers are … Read More >> Long-time readers are by now familiar with Rosenblum's Rule: Where Torah Jews are in the majority their attention to issues of Kiddush Hashem declines; when they are in the minority, especially a small minority their intrapersonal behavior improves. I first formulated this rule many years ago while observing a group of kindergarten age kids in Boro Park rush out of class and promptly block all traffic on the street adjacent to their cheder. That was their turf, and they were not going to be deterred by the honking of a line of irritated drivers. One of the research projects I'd like to see the newly formed Center for Jewish Reseach and Communication undertake is a comparative study of the attitudes of those raised in all-chareidi environments to those raised in religiously mixed cities and towns. Until then, Rosenblum's Rule remains only a hypothesis based on anecdotal observation. But further anecdotal evidence of the positive side of the rule came last Erev Shabbos. My wife and I were in the Galilee for around 24 hours, and decided to visit the Torah community in Carmiel, where I know exactly one person, the son-in-law of a close friend. When I was a … Read More >> Today's news brought the report that Hamas has rejected an Egyptian-brokered cease fire, while Israel's cabinet has expressed its willingness to abide by its terms. Once again, Hamas has shown what it truly is — a terrorist organization bent on wreaking death and destruction, not only upon Israel, but upon its very own people. Its aim is to reject peace and coexistence and its violence is intended to take Israelis and Palestinians further from the negotiating table. We express our deep appreciation to President Obama for his strong support of Israel during this difficult and desperate time. The U.S.-funded Iron Dome defense system has proven to be invaluable asset and has saved countless lives. The close military cooperation between the U.S. and Israel that has taken place over these past years has clearly played a critical role in assisting Israel in responding to the terrorist threat it faces now and on an ongoing basis. As both Americans and Jews, we are proud that our country remains a stalwart friend of Israel. In light of Hamas rejectionism, we urge President Obama to strengthen even further American resolve in dealing with the terrorist threat it poses. We should make clear to … Read More >> Reports of arrests of members of the Jewish community in connection with the recent murder of an Arab youth, Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir, should fill us all with revulsion. The Jewish faith does not tolerate violence other than in self-defense and condemns murder as a grave crime. To take the life of an innocent human being is not only an indefensible, evil act but, here, brings our people down to the level of our most implacable and cruel enemies. It is a chillul Hashem, a desecration of G-d's name. The entire Jewish world was plunged into mourning at the news of the three innocent Jewish teens who were murdered several weeks ago by as-yet unapprehended parties. And mourning was, and is, the proper response of individuals to such crimes, not misguided attempts by vigilantes to exact "revenge," which is the Creator's to dispense. May the families of both the murdered Jewish boys and the murdered Arab boy be comforted. And may governmental authorities successfully bring all the murderers to the justice that can be meted out in this world. We beseech the Creator, the One who "makes peace in His heavens," to send us the day soon when … Read More >> Sometimes it really can be expressed in a single comment to Twitter — in this case, by Rabbi Steven Burg, Eastern Director of the Wiesenthal Center: The world does not understand that this is not political for Jews. This was deeply personal. We all loved #EyalGiladNaftali — Rabbi Steven Burg (@stevenburg) June 30, 2014 Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlit"a is said to have remarked that the three boys got a tremendous zechus, merit, because of all the hisorerus and chizuk that happened — throughout all of Klal Yisrael. May the achdus, the unity, stay with us. Agudath Israel of America joins Jews and civilized people the world over in anguish and agony over the news of the vicious murders of the three boys kidnapped on June 12, Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-ad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, Hy"d. This horrific act is, in the end, not a crime against Israel or Jews alone, but against humanity – in both senses of the word. It bespeaks the deepest and most revolting inhumanity imaginable, the seizing of innocent, idealistic young people and the casual snuffing out of their lives and futures. Hamas and its allies, which now include the Palestinian Authority, are ultimately responsible for these premeditated, heinous murders. The hatred and incitement that have characterized so much of the campaign to establish a new Arab state alongside Israel are what have yielded these young lifeless bodies, and all the death and destruction born of Arab terrorism over the years. There are those who believe that all people are, deep down, good. Hamas and its friends, along with other terrorist groups and rogue nations like Iran, give the lie to that lovely but naïve fantasy. It is our hope that the nations of the free world and their leaders … Read More >> Most who voted for the PCUSA divestment are not anti-Semitic, but the action itself clearly was. … Read More >> With Dad's advice and encouragement, and young man introduced himself as a stand-up comic — and then proceeded to deliver a series of truly filthy jokes… while wearing a kipah.

The boat sometimes resembles a United Nations General Assembly debate, without the translators. When I hear German or a Slavic language spoken, I can't help but recall the wry words of the late New York City mayor Ed Koch as he led the Ukrainian Day parade one year. He told the parade's grand marshal: "You know, if this were the old country this wouldn't be a parade, it would be a pogrom. I wouldn't be walking down Fifth Avenue; I would be running… and you would be running after me." And I'm reminded, too, of the sentiment of my dear father, may he be well, who spent the war years first fleeing the Nazis and then in a Soviet Siberian labor camp. When I asked him many years ago how he feels when he meets a German non-Jew, he told me that any German "has to prove himself" to be free of the Jew-hatred that came to define his people. My father's "default" view of a German (or, for that matter, Pole or Ukrainian or Romanian…) is "guilty," or … Read More >> "Nahoul" is a giant bee, or, better, a man in a furry bee costume. He is one of the intended-to-be-lovable characters on "Pioneers of Tomorrow," a children's television program produced in Gaza. In a recent episode, Nahoul encourages a boy from Jenin to attack his Jewish neighbors. "Punch them," he advises. "Turn their faces into tomatoes." "If his neighbors are Jewish or Zionist," Rawan, the little girl host of the show adds helpfully, "that goes without saying." Nahoul then advises throwing stones at "the Jews." A bit later in the program, another little girl shares her hope to become a policewoman, so that she can "shoot the Jews." "All of them?" the host asks with a smile. "Yes," the other girl replies. "Good." Nahoul is likely to meet the fate of other cuddly animals – like Farfour the Mouse, a rabbit and a bear – that were previously featured on the program only to suddenly disappear, the show's little viewers being informed that each character had been "martyred" by Israelis. The airwaves in Gaza are tightly controlled by Hamas, the de facto government, and "Pioneers of Tomorrow" is part of that violent and hateful group's effort to educate … Read More >> Last week we catalogued the assault on free speech on campus in the form of speech codes and pervasive political correctness. The most common reason given for the speech codes by college administrators is to protect members of the university community from a hostile environment. The other reason more often offered by professors and students for preventing anyone with whom they disagree from speaking – from Condoleeza Rice to Ayaan Hirsi Ali to Ambassador Michael Oren – is that they are advocates of policies or regimes which the commissars have determined in Marcusian fashion to be "objectively" unjust. The justification offered by the administrators is more understandable. After all, few parents would want to send their children to live in dorms in which they were constantly subjected to racial or religious epithets, especially at a cost of $60,000 a year or more. But, it should be noted, that the notion that no one should ever be offended is a slippery slope and very much at odds with the values underlying the First Amendment. What happens when one student claims to be offended by another's citation of Biblical verses condemning his lifestyle? How far are we from having the … Read More >> Besides the legal changes affecting the funding for the Yeshivos, the Religion Ministry under Bennet has a few tricks up its sleeve that we don't even know about. I just spoke with a Rosh Yeshiva in Israel whom I know personally to confirm details of this, and who insisted that his name not be used, so he had no reason to exaggerate. Like college after the end of exams, students from abroad will often exit during the last few days of a yeshiva zman, especially at the end of the winter before Pesach. It is quite routine that if a zman ends on Monday, for example, students will be permitted to fly back home on Saturday night or Sunday. The inspectors from the Religion Ministry are essentially hired accountants, who come to visit a yeshiva and see how many students they have. But they do not have control over their schedules. An inspector who had visited a yeshiva several times previously, and knew that it was functioning and flourishing, was deliberately instructed to come visit the yeshiva on Sunday, immediately prior to the "official" end of zman but once all the students had been let go. And by taking … Read More >> The term "botched execution," much in the news of late because of the case of convicted murderer Clayton Darrell Lockett, might seem to imply that the condemned prisoner has remained alive. Mr. Lockett, however, died, at least indirectly as a result of the lethal three-drug cocktail administered to him on April 29. His death was technically due to a heart attack, after he showed signs of life and even tried to speak at a point when the drugs should have conclusively dispatched him and the official execution was halted. It turns out that the intravenous line sending the drugs into his body might at some point simply have slipped out (his body was covered during the procedure) but his protracted death has brought the subject of lethal injection as a means of execution – and the death penalty itself – into the global spotlight. Considering that the crime for which Mr. Lockett was sentenced to death was the shooting and burying alive of an acquaintance, it's hard to argue that, even if Mr. Lockett had an unnecessarily protracted painful death, it was devoid of some measure of justice – to the degree justice can be attained in this world. |
