Sales Tax Plan Would Redefine School District Wealth
As the conservative idea of replacing property taxes with sales taxes comes under political scrutiny in Texas, the practical complications pile up quickly.
The debate between the state comptroller candidates Glenn Hegar and Mike Collier — Hegar, a Republican, likes the idea, while Collier, a Democrat, calls it an enormous sales tax increase — puts the tax swap notion back in the public arena, exposing its strengths and its flaws.
The concept has been knocked around for years by research organizations, lawmakers and activists who fear that rising property taxes are pricing Texans out of their homes and other property ...

- 'The New York Times' sanitizes Israeli racism
First we get facts, and now you back them up with photographs!
That just isn't fair to Witty.
- Bibi's father says 'enemies' seeks 'destruction of the Jewish people'
"It also led him to say to me, in the early 1990s, that Muslim extremists would try to bring down the twin towers in New York "
Much easier to make such predictions when you have seen Mossad's plans for it.
"the Menachem Begin Heritage Center"
Please tell me that this is a joke.
- Dear Congress: What the Purim video reveals about the racism embedded in the Israeli state structure
But that was a good bomb!
Julian is talking about bad bombs.
To help you to keep them clear, here are some more good bombs.
Bombs thrown by Jews into buses full of Arabs in the late 1930s.
Bomb which blew up S.S. Patria .
Bomb in British Embasy in Rome (1946)
Letter bombs sent to British Cabinet Ministers in 1947.
Bombs in market places, Damascus Gate, etc, 1947.
Bombs in Semiramis Hotel, Jaffa Gate, etc, 1948.
Bombs in Egypt during Operation Susannah.
And, of course, the bomb that did this
and this
and this
Does that help?
". So she dug up a bible and read the actual text "
You should never do this. The key characteristics of that particular source of Jewish values were well described by Thomas Paine.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize humankind. "
- Steinhardt and Khouri agree: it's not about borders, it's about refugees
Don't insult British Public Schools like that.
- 'To wipe the spit off his face, Biden had to say it was only rain'
My chance? I've been back in Australia for six years.
But I will do what I can. Just send the funds to cover my expenses.
You are being pedantic. And so you should.
Everyone in the EU has been waiting for it to something - anything - meaningful ever since it was created.
- My nephew in Jerusalem is headed to Poland
Thoughts of warm beer are perfectly legitimate as long as they are restrained to Britain and British (including Irish) beer. (It just doesn't taste nice if it is chilled. I remember complaining that a pint of Guiness tasted like water, and the barman apologised for having next to the lager, so it was getting too cold.)
But any such thoughts about Australian beer are just another manifestation of the ever-growing menace of anti-Australianism.
"Even the most Orthodox Jews would be happy to share a pint with you however. "
Sure about this? I wouldn't want my nasty goyish influence to damage their Jewish souls. It starts with beer from a goy, but next next thing is that they fall in love with a shiksa, and you've got assimilation! It's the second Holocaust!
No, I don't want to risk that. You'll get no beer from me.
" no drinking wine from a bottle a goy opened"
That's a new one on me. Next time I'm sharing a bottle of wine around, I'll have to make sure I don't offend any Jews present bygiving them some.
Does it apply to beer, as well?
- Many western Jews believe: We need a Jewish state
"In college, or even in high school, taking the course of sociology, one fundamental ethical rule is – never question or judge another man's culture"
This view is called "cultural relativism" . If you take a course in Moral Philosophy you will almost certainly learn that this idea is a load of crap.
- Cindy Corrie reaches out to Middle Easterners who have lost family members to violence
Japanese maps look very familiar to me, since they also put Australia on the midline, which is where it aought to be. I found British maps a bit odd, because they tended to cut the Pacific. But when I first saw an American map that cut the Eurasian continent in half I knew I was dealing with crazy people.
Actually, the bit we are calling "the Middle East" was originally called "the Near East". The Middle East was the Indian sub-continent and immediately adjacent areas.
But why is the term racist? Anglo-centric, certainly, but not really worse than the Chinese calling their country "the Middle Kingdom", or the American habit of equating "Western" with American, or using "Western Hemisphere" to mean only the American continents.
And Colombus discovered the geographic relationship between Europe and the Greater Antilles. Neither the Americans nor the Europeans knew of it before his voyages.
- Biden to Bibi: You are endangering us
"everyone credits Reagan with "tearing down that wall"
I've never heard anyone credit Reagan with that. Maybe they just did it in America.
- Netanyahu steals more land, so Biden is late for dinner
Bit of an over-reaction on Biden's part, I think.
Stealing land? Well, boys will be boys.
But late for dinner? That's rude.
- Lord almighty, MSM covers dissing of Biden
I get fed up with people talking about hope.
Hope doesn't feed the hungry, it doesn't pay the rent, and it won't iron my trousers.
- Who knew-- BDS is tied to... 9/11!
"For the Palestinians to be given Israeli citizenship would be like sending tem an invitation to dinner at which the Israelis were going to serve Palestinians."
That's pretty much the way it is now, isn't it?
But the big questions are whether the West Bank and Gaza Palestinians would get freedom of movement throughout Israel, and be able to vote in elections.
"In Israel, "Jewish" the nationality. "Arab" is a nationality. "
Then Mizrahi Jews must have dual nationality, since they are Arab Jews! What about the Baha'is? Is Baha'i a nationality? Is Druze?
And what about all the dubious immigrant workers whose children are to be thrown out for not being kosher? They will have "citizenship", but will they have any "nationality"?
Seriously, what do they mean by "nation" and "nationality"?
- Make intermarriage, not war
" it's a difficult go during the holidays, what with my family drinking Polish vodka on Christmas Eve, and my Irish in-laws drinking whiskey on Christmas Day"
I'm sure all our hearts bleed for you.
I should, perhaps, add that I do not just carry out this exercise with bunches of Australian students. I have used it in classes of Chinese and Korean nursing students (they turned out to be particularly concerned for the homosexuals), and mixed international classes with students from a wide variety of contries.
Which is why Singapore is not a good place for me. The girls there have a Chinese base, with plenty of Malay mixed in, plus bits of Tamil, British administrators, Japanese occupiers, and passing sailors from anywhere you care to mention.
And since Singapore is tropical, the fashions (and they are very fashionable) they choose tend be extremely skimpy.
For a man no longer in the first flush of youth, the strain on the system gets a bit severe.
Exactly my position, and that of just about every man in a mixed marriage I know (and that is a lot).
'Don't the cultural differences between Australia and Japan make it difficult for you to understand each other at times?"
"They don't matter. What makes it difficult is that I'm a man and she's a woman."
I regularly get my students (university) to debate the advantages and disadvantages of a system in which every 25 year old male in the world is forced to marry a 25 year old female chosen for him at random.
The most encouraging thing about the debates is that the students are always very concerned about how unfair this would be to homosexuals and lesbians. Racial issues just do not appear in their thinking.
They think it would of great benefit to the travel business, though, since people would be travelling all over the world to meet their new husbands and wives.
The more naive think that the language teaching business would prosper, as well. They imagine that husbands and wives talk to each other.
"I am of French-Polish Roman Catholic stock, and my wife is of Scotch-Irish Roman Catholic stock."
Wouldn't it be easier (and save space) just to be Americans?
"It is forward of me to say this, but rip all vestiges of guilt you feel about it out of you. "
I don't feel the slightest bit guilty it. But then, I'm not a Jew.
- Novelist Henning Mankell says Israel faces 'final insurrection' and 'fall'
So just another fraud lying for Israel, then?
" the Jews in the I/P area "
So you are, right now, just talking about the rights of the Israeli Jews to self-determination, and not all Jews in the world? O.K. But surely the relevant right would be that of all the inhabitants of Israel, and not just that of the Jews. (Of course, I know you really believe that Jews are more important than non-Jews, but try to pretend you don't for the moment.)
"clash with the Palestinian right to self determination "
If the Palestinian right to self-determination had been honoured in the 1920s, Israel would not exist. Since the Zionists did not give a hoot about the Palestinain rsd then, why should anyone give a hoot about a Jewish rsd?
" Jews of Eastern Europe who were separated in the Pale of Settlement by the Czars of Russia after the seizure of the territory from Poland in the late 18th Century. These Jews definitely deserved a right to self determination that should not have clashed with the rights of the nonJews that lived in the same area"
You will have to spell out why they deserve a rsd, why it would not have clashed with the rights of the non-Jews, and whether such a right should apply to any territory other than that which they inhabited, or involve any other Jews anywhere.
As it stands, you seem to be making a blanket claim about a right without any substantial support.
"If New Orleans was located in Israel, it would already be a renewed city and envy of the world; and its inhabitants ditto"
On the other hand, if it were located in Lebanon, Hezbollah would have renewed it in short order, but the Western world wouldn't be told about it.
"I will make peace with the Palestinians, "
That's great! When are you going to start?
"not with Australians who say that the Jews don't have a right to self determination."
Of course, you aren't going to present a rational argument for that alleged right, are you?
"It doesn't pay to react to those who hate Israel."
But those are exactly the people you have to make peace with if you want to solve the problem.
"They rationally adopt Zionism."
They rationally adopt a doctrine that says that Jews matter more than anyone else?
"to persuade the Arab and Palestinian world to accept Israel,"
In a one-state scenario, what the Arabs need to accept is that the Jews born in what is now Israel have the right to live in the new state as equal citizens. Your Israel would not exist.
"the reality for Palestinians in a truly democratic single state will plausibly be further subordination and frankly isolation from one another, as the floodgates to Jewish settlement in the West Bank will open wide."
So the "demographic bomb" threat isn't real after all?
"ethnically reserved (ethnically cleansing) laws were passed prohibiting individuals from specified ethnicities from purchasing land in a locale. "
Does not Israel have such laws now, and would they not be revoked?
"I was against the war in Gaza (after the fact)"
Very helpful. I'm sure the Palestinians are duly grateful.
"If you can imagine a one state solution without such a war, please draw me that scenario. "
It would require a great change in the ideas of Israelis. They would have to admit that Zionism was a wicked idea, that the concept, creation, and conduct of the State of Israel were all evil. They would have to give up the idea of a Jewish State. They would have to want the new state.
Are Israelis so corrupt, so brainwashed, so insane that such a change of heart is not possible? Perhaps. But if so, your 40 year war is inevitable.
You are in Israel, so it is up to you to start changing your fellow Israelis. (I cannot do it from Australia.) If you do not start changing them, you are dooming them to the 40 year war.
- Egg donor and recipient must be of same religion, you-know-where
I had to laugh when I read this article.
It was the only safe thing to do. The content made me want to weep.
a "racially pure Jewish people".
Like the Chinese Jews,
link to en.wikipedia.org
the swarthy Indian Jews,
the (possibly) swarthier Mizrahi Jews,
the extremely swarthy Ethiopian Jews,
and the (gasp!) Lemba!
link to haruth.com
Does Mrs. Goldstern want an egg from one of those?
- Israel's 'sensitive artist narrative' just might implode at the Oscars tonight!
"A child of a refugee born in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt should NOT be considered Israeli. A child born in the West Bank should not be considered Israeli."
You will perhaps be surprised that I agree with you. In a two-state scenario, I would say that only those born in Israel, their spouses, and dependent children have the right to return to Israel. (Compensation to the descendants of the dispossessed for stolen property would be another matter.)
But of course, to be consistent with the this lex solis concept, you would also have to revoke the Law of Return and abandon the foolish notion that Jews are in any sense a "nation". You would concede that Australian Jews are Australian, and Australia is their nation. And as soon as you have done that, you have admitted that the creation of Israel was just a land-grab by a bunch of European immigrants.
There goes the neighbourhood.
And yes, I think you are dead right. If he doesn't toe the line, his family is going to find life uncomfortable, and he will never get a chance to make another film in Israel.
When you stand in the front rank with your toes on the line on the parade ground, you TOE the line.
- Stranglehold: When will a U.S. columnist decry the 'injustice' of 1948?
"the Jewish people – the people that always swore not to do to others what it would not have done to it "
Sorry, but when did they swear that?
- Dubai-Mossad t-shirts now available
See! Israel does have a lot to offer the world!
- Ivy League mag publishes dual-loyal dithyramb to IDF-Rambos vs swarthy Arabs
"Israelis are cast as ... "civilized". "
But they don't even play cricket.
"we American Jews called Israel our homeland "
Presumably born in the USA (hush up, Springsteen), brought up in the USA, school and university in the USA, citizen of the USA, and calls a country on the other side of the world his "homeland"!
- Israeli envoy tells Palestinians they can't set a deadline for freedom
"For Palestinians, the vital interest is independence and freedom within their own state. "
Is that what Palestinians say? I thought they had some ideas about being treated as equals in Palestine.
- Is House committee vote on Armenian genocide tit-for-tat for Turkey's Gaza criticism?
"(mind you the word 'holocaust' is reserved for the Jewish death)."
If I remember rightly, the term "holocaust" was first used for mass killing by Churchill, and it was the deaths of the Armenians he was referring to.
"Any moral people would rather die out as the oppressed than as the oppressor."
Well said. (The rest of the post too, but especially that bit.)
- Roll over Ben Gurion and tell Jabotinsky the news ('Washington Note' characterizes Zionism as colonialist)
"the need of the Jews for a homeland "
The Jews did not need a homeland.
Most Jews had homelands they were born into.
Some Jews needed a safe place to live, but that is all.
- More on Jews, Poles and peasants
"What society of any appreciable size *wouldn't* see some manifestations of irritation at having it "spurned by people living among them"? Might not be right, but it would be true of any society and any people I think so clearly wasn't jewish-specific. "
Gasp! Are you suggesting that the Polish Jews are at least partly to blame for the anti-semitism they faced?
"Just as this article details the deep and widespread inability to speak Polish in the Polish-jewish community? Or to even recognize the Polish flag?"
Of course, this is just their right, and any irritation that the Poles might have felt at having their language and their society spurned by people living among them is just another manifestation of innnate Polish anti-semitism.
- In Israeli-Lebanese brinkmanship, the US is powerless
Also, Hezbollah did a far faster and more efficient job of clearing up the mess after the 2006 war than the U.S. has managed in New Orleans after Katrina.
And hardly any profiteering, either.
(A visit from a couple of young, strong Hezbollah lads with degrees in Economics and AK47s is a great way to get suppliers to hold their prices at pre-distaster levels.)
- Is declaring yourself an 'anti-Zionist' like declaring you're a 'Communist'?
No photographs?
"because what's good enough for Jews to receive is good enough for Jews to give."
Isn't that some sort of anti-semitism?
"Israel, which has accomplished many good things as well"
Cherry tomatoes and water heaters?
- Hasbara extremist uses N-word
"Jewish people's right to self determination ."
There is no such right.
- Haaretz: In Iranian-Israeli brinksmanship, Obama is powerless
"If the US does not agree then Israel has three options: 1) send its bombers over Saudi Arabia "
Given the amount of hardware the Saudis have, they would have very red faces trying to explain to the rest of the world why they couldn't (or didn't try to) stop the Israelis.
"or 2) send them over Turkey."
Good strategy. Piss off the Turks even more.
" There is, of course, option 3 and send them over Iraq in opposition to the US. I think most analysts agree that Israel would try option 3 and dare the US to show any opposition"
And who would believe that the US couldn't stop them? Everyone would assume that the USA helped.
There is actually a fourth option. Use the close relations with Georgia to attack from there. A short flight over Armenia, and next stop is Tabriz. Of course, the Russians have dented that prospect a bit.
We know what Exocets can do in a real war.
link to historylearningsite.co.uk
The new Russian missiles are supposed to be much more dangerous than Exocets.
Suppose that the Iranians sent a cloud (a dozen or so) of Silkworms against an American fleet, with a few of the fiercer Russian missiles mixed in.
This has certainly never been tried, so no-one knows what would happen.
I wouldn't want to be around, though.

Just replace "Vietnam" with "Teheran" and you are set to go.
- Crimean war blunders ended English oligarchy (and the Iraq war?)
One interesting featuer of the British meritocracy was that the brightest and the best did not end up running Britain. They were recruited into the Indian Civil Service or other bits of the machinery of Empire, and spent the best parts of their lives mastering the languages (no promotion unless you can speak the local language like a native) and customs (you have to know why Sanjit is going to totally ignore regulations and pay a visit to his family) of the area they were working in. And then do it all over again in another district.
Running Britain was left to the B team. They weren't up to the task.
- Judith Butler: Identity 'allegiance' stands in the way of peace
"I grew very skeptical of certain kind of Jewish separatism in my youth. I mean, I saw the Jewish community was always with each other; they didn't trust anybody outside.."
I thought anyone who said that sort of thing was automatically ananti-semite or a self-hater.
"But I think we have to get over the idea that a state has to express a nation. And if we have a bi-national state, it's expressing two nations"
Can someone please tell me what a nation is if it is not a sovereign state?
Where I live, the nation is the Commonwealth of Australia. The state (non-sovereign) is Queensland.
For a few years I lived in a place where the nation was the United States of America. The states were Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Those sort of nations I understand. But what are the other kind?
- Syracuse University plays lead role in undermining int'l law, with concern for Israel
(Why is there no "edit" button. And why does a link not open a new page?)
"Syracuse University is currently distinguishing itself as a top 5 basketball team "
Oh wow! Such evidence of deep and rigourous thinking means that I'll have to take anything they say very seriously indeed.
- Global movement joins Hebron protest to 'Open Shuhada Street'
Dammit, dammit, dammit!
Is there no way at all we can edit out typos?
And that man or woman will probably end up dead or imprisioned. Then we'll see the lack of palestinian Gandhis again.
Once they've all been shot or imprisoned, you will.
- Do you have to be Jewish to report on Israel for the New York Times?
How disappointing. When I lived in Denmark I used to like Politiken better than Berlingske Tidende. It was a more managable size, and it didn't have a sports section.
- People Are Talking About BDS
I know I should be in favour of BDS, but it sounds like one of those embarrassing diseases that one pretends never to have contracted.
- Shadow of Emmett Till
"The Jews are an alien nation."
So it would seem, Mooser. But they hide it well. All the Jews I have seen look pretty human. Not an antenna or tentacle among them.
Yes, well, those Mizrachis are - let us say - a bit heavily shaded in, aren't they? I mean, they don't reflect the sunlight quite as much as Ashkenazis. You might even say they are sort of "tinted" people.
Nothing against them, of course. Some of my best friends, and so forth.
But not quite our sort of people.
Astonishingly, again we agree up to a point.
But the two-state "solution" (aside from all the efforts Israel is making to render such a "solution" impossible) is not a solution. It will not bring equality or justice to the area.
That is why I say the effort should be to make a one-state solution possible.
A two-state arrangement, combined with a stated intention of moving to a single state, could well be a starting point.
But from the beginning some changes will be necessary, and Israelis will have to make them.
They will have to renounce Zionism as the evil Jewish-supremcacist doctrine it is. (Impossible? Maybe not. Other people have renounced National Socialism, Apartheid, and straight out racism.)
They will have to repeal the Law of Return, and acknowledge the Right of Return so that Palestinians can go, if not back to their stolen or destroyed homes, at least back to the region.
They will have to give full and equal citizenship to the Arabs of Israel.
If Israelis want peace with justice and honour, they will try these things.
As far as "the Jews want to continue as a people" (whatever "a people" means) is concerned, one has to ask, "at what cost, both to Jews and to the rest of us?"
I know you don't think that the rest of us matter. Only Jews count for you, and you are incapable even of understanding that the rest of us think that we are just as important as Jews, let alone actually thinking that we are as important.
(This is clearly shown by your maundering about how nice it is to hear children speaking a Jewish language, even though this has been achieved by driving Arab children out of their homes and blowing them to pieces.)
For you "Jews want …" is equivalent to "everyone should strain themselves to make sure that Jews get …"
So I will simply make these bare assertions, and if you can comprehend them, good. If not, too bad.
If the state of Israel is necessary for the Jews to continue to exist as a people, the price is too high.
If separation from the rest of the human race, refusal to countenance mixed marriages, greater concern for other Jews than for fellow citizens, or all the other peculiarities that are reputed to be part of the Jewish condition are necessary, the price is too high, both for Jews and the rest of us.
If attitudes like yours are necessary, the price is too high.
"Okay Israel, annex the West Bank and make the Palestinians into Israeli citizens"
And there we agree. The Palestinians originally wanted a united, independent, Palestine. The British denied them this, and then the Zionists set out to take Palestine from them. The aim of the PLO was, first, to undo the partition and let the refugees go home. The call for a Palestinian Arab state in the West Bank and Gaza was a cry of despair which came later, but even that has been denied them.
If they ask for annexation and full, equal, citizenship for all people living West of the Jordan, the Israelis will have to refuse. Allowing it would mean the end of Jewish dominance.
So you are saying that the survival of Jews as a people is important because Jewish attention to education has led ex-Jews to produce quite a few major contributions to science, philosophy, and the arts, are you?
How many of these contributions came from ex-Jews living in Israel? (Yes, we already know about the cherry tomato and the water heater.) In Birobidzhan? (Ancient Jewish Palestine produced absolutely nothing of any real value, but that is outside the timeline you offered.)
And how many from Jews living in Europe or America? Why so many from ex-Jews who were barely distinguishable from the other middle class Europeans who made the great advances of the last two centuries? It seems that the less Jewish they were, the more likely they were to contribute!
This is a pretty thin basis on which to build an argument that the wickedness of the concept of Israel, the wickedness of the creation of Israel, and the wickedness of the conduct of Israel are justified in order that the Jews might survive as a people.
"In the 1980's the PLO began to move toward agreeing to a two state solution"
My memory tells me that it was in the mid 1970s that the PLO started making two-state approaches to Israel. They finally decided that if they could not have a free Palestine, they might at least get rid of Israeli occupation. It took a long time for the idea to be fully accepted by all the PLO.
"would have argued that the PLO would never agree because they would never accept Jews living in the land of Palestine."
Always a bum argument. The objection was never to Jews, but to a Jewish State.
Good! I keep hearing about various groups, tribes, etc., cries of "this way of life (etc.) must not be allowed to disappear", but no one says why not. It seems as though nothing must be allowed to change. Now you have given me an answer of the type I wanted.
Now I can consider it.
"it is important because a large portion of the Jewish people wish to survive as a people"
O.K. Now we can ask, first, whether that wish is sufficient to justify the actions taken to ensure that survival, and, second, why they hold that wish. It may be the case that there is no rational basis for the wish, but merely a shared superstition. For example:
"and they believe that given time their existence as a people will pay dividends to themselves and to the world"
Will pay dividends in time? So no dividends yet, after .... how many thousands of years would you say it has been?
Maybe that belief needs a rethink.
And what sort of dividends? And is there no other way of getting them?
Barney Frank? Who he?
"the physical survival of Jews as individuals?"
No problem with this, but
"survival of the Jewish people as a people "
Why is this important? I have asked WJ, but he wants to keep it a secret. Are you allowed to tell me?
"What are the advantages for individual Jews and a a large chunk of the Jewish people to live in Zion?"
Advantages to whom?
"and so children speaking a Jewish language are dear to me."
And because it is dear to you the rest of the world has to support the evil that is Israel?
"Is there something useful to the Jewish soul to be nourished by the hills of Jerusalem? Maybe not just the Jewish soul, but certainly the Jewish soul"
And Jewish souls are more important than others, so they must be catered for even at the expense of others?
"that today there are only two major homes for the Jews: America and Israel is lamentable"
Homes for the Jews?
sylvanen has some answers to your questions about genetic make-up, and from that it seems that "Middle Eastern genetic make-up" would be the best way to go.
"Maybe Middle Eastern genetic makeup would be more accurate and Arabic is a language and a culture."
So what is an Arab?
(a) A person who speaks Arabic as first language and grew up in Arabic culture? If so, Mizrachis are Arabs.
(b) A person of Middle Eastern genetic make-up? If so, Mizrachis are Arabs.
(c) a+b? If so, Mizrachis are Arabs.
Do you find in yourself some reluctance to think of Mizrahi Jews as Arabs? If so, why?
Government Minister Penny Wong would not have been too thrilled with that, either.
Nor the thousands and thousands of Australians of Asian ancestry.
Nor all the Australians of European ancestry who are married to people of Asian ancestry. (That group includes me.)
Nor their children.
And it pissed off a fair few others, as well.
Arabs are probably the ones they are most worried about, but they also mention migrant workers. That would be all those Chinese, Thais, etc., some of whom are polluting Israel by having children.
Can't have those yellow Johnnies touching nice (or even not-so-nice) Jewish girls.
""We are in Asia without the characteristics of Asians. We don't have yellow skin and slanted eyes. Asia is basically the yellow race. Australia and Israel are not - we are basically the white race. We are on the western side of Asia and they are on the southeastern side." - Naftali Tamir, Israeli ambassador to Australia.

(Just the sort of thing to say in the hearing of Kevin Rudd. Rudd's son-in-law is Albert Tse, born in China.)
"But in fact it is certainly difficult for me to tell the difference between most Mizrachi Jews and most Arabs. "
That's because Mizrahi Jews are Arabs. There are Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, Jewish Arabs, as well as Druze, Baha'i, etc., Arabs.
The Mizrahi are (or were, in Arab lands) native speakers of Arabic. Their culture was Arabic.
And their genetic make-up was Arabic. That's why they still look like Arabs.
Gotta protect our girls from being led astray - or worse - by the oily charm of those swarthy, unshaven characters of dubious origins and questionable decency.
"families of the minority men, that often ostracize them for being Jewish."
No-one would ever ostracise the minority men for not being Jewish.
- Factchecking Kershner
What sort of a father was Abraham ?
According to the Bible, a really bad one.
Abraham was a coward, a liar, a pimp, and possibly a rapist.
Worst of all, he didn't even have the moral strength to protect his children.
Out of fear for his own life, he twice pretended his wife was his sister, ("My sister very clean") and left her to another man .
Sarah told him to shag the slave girl in order to get an heir. We are not told how enthusiastic Hagar was about the business, but no-one cared. She was a slave girl.
When she did get pregnant, and had a son, she got uppity. Abraham's wife told him to dump her out into the desert. He, gutless wonder that he was, did. No thought of defending his child or his child's mother.
No surprise, then, that when the sky-dictator told him to slice his second son's throat, he obeyed.
Again, he failed in a basic duty that is recognized as such throughout the world.
Abraham was a moral degenerate, without a shred of decency.
- Siegman: the world will stop the 'relegation of Palestinians to apartheid existence'
"Henry Siegman is angry. He's still attached to the idea of a "democratic Jewish" state..."
Still has a long way to go. He needs to lose the "Jewish" bit.
- In new ads that try to change the subject, Israel reveals racism
Do the Israeli settlers living on the WB have the WB colour, or do they have the colour of the rest of Israel?
- fyi, this is now the conventional wisdom,
Israel has a soul?
- delegit
Of course, some Palestinians will say that the policy of throwing out immigrants and their children should have started sevetny or eighty years ago.
(Just for the record, I would not agree. I say that if you are born in the place, you have the right to stay there and be a citizen. That is one thing I think the Americans get right.)
But it would be ironic if Israel ceased to be a "Jewish State" , not because the Israelis sought reconciliation with the Palestinians, but because they were overwhelmed with Thai, Philipino, and Chinese immigrants.
Oh, wait. Sorry! You said *rational* people.
They will judge it as what it is.
You want Israel to be full of wogs, boongs, niggers, chinks, and gooks? That would destroy its character as a Jewish State.
What sort of racist anti-Semite bigot are you?
"Even a child that was born from a rape has a right to live. '48 was a rape. But something happened in history. We have to correct and repair a lot of things."if Israel was produced by rape, in 1948, the product of rape deserves to live, "
Stuff and nonsense.
A child is an individual human being, and as such he/she has a right to live. To kill a child is to kill an individual. A sentient being is harmed.
A state is not a human being. (Or, indeed, any sort of sentient being.) It is an organization set up by humans for their own convenience. If the organization is disbanded, this is not in any way the same as killing or harming a sentient being. A state has no more "right to live/exist" than a photography club.
The process of disbanding the state may well harm individual sentient beings, but this is an infringment of the rights of the individual beings, not the rights of the state.
"and Israel/Palestine is not yet ready for a single state."
So the goal should be to make it ready.
- 'Israel invented the water heater'
Israel invented the camel as well, right?
- David Brooks's dilemma (and ours)
"all groups have not rushed with equal force..."
The rule in English is that the negative goes before that which is to be negated. It is better logic, too.
"not all groups have rushed..."
Why is this so hard to learn?
- J Street and 'the Jewish collective'
"I suppose that does explain why the the profanity content of Mondoweiss has gone down in recent days"
And yet, as I have said elsewhere, the list writers can't bring themselves to write "arsehole" ("asshole" for Americans) but instead use "a-hole".
For all their tough attitude, this shows them up as a bunch of feeble tossers.
The SHIT list is back up. (And Goldstone is on it)
How well are J Street represented there?
- Turkey vows to launch Berlin airlift
"they are obligated to fight under Article V only when a member nation is attacked"
The international lawyers would have to argue whether or not an attack on the Turkish Navy in international or in Gaza waters constitutes an attack on Turkey.
I'm finding it difficult to decide whether I want the Turkish Navy to accompany the civilian ships or not. (And of course, my decision on this is vitally important. The Turkish Government never makes a move without consulting me first.)
If a civilian-only fleet goes in, and Israel stops it, then the publicity for Israel will stink yet again., and the relations between Turkey and Israel will get worse. But the Israelis will turn up the volume of propaganda, and the Gazans will get no help.
If a civilian-only fleet goes in, and Israel doesn't stop it , the Turks get some good publicity, and the Israelis turn up the volume of propaganda. Most importantly, the Gazans get help. But past Israeli form suggests that this outcome is very unlikely.
If a large chunk of the Turkish Navy accompanies the fleet (and from the little I know of international law there is nothing illegal about it, as long as the ships stay either in international waters or Gaza waters) then the Israelis are much less likely to try to stop them. The Gazans get help.
The Israelis will turn up the volume of propaganda, of course.
If the Israelis try to use force to stop the Turkish Navy, then there will be real trouble. (And even more if the Turks invoke their membership of NATO and demand that the alliance help them to defend themselves against Israel.)
But even though this is very risky, I think, for the sake of the Gazans, that having the Turkish Navy alongside would be the best option. It gives them the maximum chance of aid.
Did you get that, Mr. Erdogan?
- Peace may be more than one conflict away
"There are lots of sources. "
That's exactly why I asked.

Summer is sadly coming to an end. While your summer PPC focus was probably prepping for Google Enhanced Campaigns, your fall focus should be on organizing your PPC campaign structure. And that's just what I want to help you with!
Below, I'll explain how you can organize your PPC campaigns so they perform better. *Warning* – like Dana's from last week, this post is Intermediate level.
Whether you have been managing the same campaign for years or have taken over new management, it is likely that you will come across the frustration that is PPC campaign structure. Over time, ad groups are added, keywords are blocked, bids are adjusted, and that cohesive, well-laid-out plan has gone out the window.
It's time for a clean up.
De-cluttering your PPC campaigns not only makes portfolio management easier and less confusing, but also improves your campaign's performance as well. For example, your bidding strategy could be causing high CPC broad-matched keywords to swallow up traffic that you would have rather sent to exact or advanced broad matched keywords that have more relevant ad copy. Without a well-thought-out campaign structure, this could go undetected and lead to a lower quality score and conversion rate on top search terms.
There are many ways to go about re-structuring (or building!) a well-thought-out PPC lead generation campaign, and each industry certainly has its best practices. Here are some methods that I have found useful in the B2B landscape.
Theme-Based Ad Groups
Having hundreds of ad groups in a campaign, each with just one or two keywords may seem like the best way to deliver relevant ad copy to your audience. But in reality, getting so specific could be a waste of time.
Instead, pick out the top themes in a campaign and make an ad group for each. If there are too many themes within your campaign, consider breaking main themes out into their own campaigns. This provides a more cohesive campaign structure from which to branch off.
Ad Groups by Match Type
Once a core list of ad groups has been established and keywords are mapped to each, it's a good idea to replicate these ad groups, separating out keywords by match type. All you have to do is simply copy an entire ad group and change its name according to match type: "Used Cars – Exact", "Used Cars – Advanced Broad", etc. Then rearrange keywords so that each is mapped to the corresponding ad group.
This will assist in the creation of bidding and negative keyword strategies, as well as creating the most relevant ad copy.
Negative Strategy
Negative keywords are as important, if not more important, than the actual keywords being bid on. Clearly, blocking irrelevant search terms is the first step. When creating a campaign for "Used Cars," for example, you would be sure to block terms such as "toy car" or "remote control car".
When using the strategy outlined above, this can be taken a step further in order to funnel traffic to the most relevant ad groups. Blocking all of the campaign's exact match keywords from the non-exact match ad groups will direct all exact match search queries to the exact match ad groups.
This type of funneling makes bidding decisions more precise and may also increase CTR (click-thru-rate) as search queries are leading to more relevant ad copy.
Reorganizing your campaign's structure may seem like a daunting task but laying out the steps and creating a clear plan ahead of time will make the transition as stress-free as possible. The increased control of traffic flow will ease campaign management and optimization going forward, and you will see improved performance as a result.

Corporate strategy
We inspire through individual, sustainable premium mobility.
Our premium vehicles are the foundation.
The automotive industry is undergoing a transformation: New competitors, new customer desires and new fields of business are arising. This change is being driven by the megatrends of digitalization, sustainability and urbanization and it results in new challenges. Mastering these successfully will require us to transform our company fundamentally. We are now beginning this process of reshaping Audi. But where do we want to go? We have defined this in our new Audi Vision: We will become a supplier of sustainable, individual premium mobility, delighting customers across the globe. Our premium vehicles continue to form the foundation for this. The key message is therefore: Our core business is and will continue to be the key foundation for our success. We are positioning ourselves for future success. In doing so, however, we are remaining faithful to our DNA – Vorsprung is our promise. And this promise is kept by our sustainable premium vehicles superior to those of the competition as well as by our mobility offers and services.
We are digitalizing our processes and creating a platform for integrated, connected premium mobility and digital services.
Digitalization is radically changing our customers' everyday lives. They expect all areas of their lives to be connected – and the car is becoming part of their connected environment. Customers want to be "always on" – as well as and especially when in the car. New competitors from the IT industry and highly dynamic start-ups are meeting these customers needs with digital services and mobility offerings, thereby pushing their way into the domains of the car manufacturers. However, the digital transformation also opens up new opportunities for the traditional automotive companies.
With digital services for our customers, we can open up new business models and exploit new sales potential – in trade, in the vehicle and, above all, with mobility offerings which extend beyond the vehicle. A central platform forms the common basis for this – a digital ecosystem which is equally attractive to customers and partners. Artificial intelligence creates faster and, above all, self-learning systems. Moving forward, the further development of these systems will present us with the opportunity to shape brand new customer experiences and processes. On top of this, digitalization enables us to exploit substantial efficiency potential. This serves to finance necessary investments in future topics.
This is why Audi is pursuing its mission to intensively drive digitalization. We will consistently digitalize our processes and create a central platform for integrated, connected premium mobility and digital services.
By 2025 we will achieve:
Digitalized processes increase efficiency by ensuring faster workflows. Audi wants to play a leading role here. With this, we are freeing up resources for future topics.
We want to delight our customers with simple, intuitive control logic and digital realms of experience. This is also the prerequisite for the intensive use of Audi digital offerings.
We want to reach the profit zone as quickly as possible with digital and mobility services and achieve a substantial contribution to profit with these by 2025. We want to use this offer to give valuable time back to our customers.
We want to enable standardized access to the digital Audi world for all customers and open this platform to third-party suppliers as an ecosystem which is equally attractive to customers and partners.
In future, all new Audi cars will be online and feature Audi connect as standard equipment. Existing vehicles will also be made Internet-capable via attractive after-sales solutions.
We stand for sustainability in our vehicles and services throughout the entire value chain.
A scarcity of resources, the destruction of the environment, climate change and population growth: These aspects have an impact on society, politics and the economy. The change in social values is forging ahead, with more and more people using sustainability as an expression of their attitude towards life. We build cars that reflect this attitude. To do so, we are driving the development of innovative power train technologies and following the principles of a sustainable circular economy. These assess the environmental balance in its entirely. For us, this means that sustainable actions start with procurement.
At Audi, sustainability is a matter of course and a topic which reaches beyond the product itself. Sustainable actions must include ecological, economical and social aspects. We want to save natural resources, avoid environmental impact, demonstrate social commitment and take social responsibility. If we implement these requirements, we cannot fail to achieve an additional goal: Ensuring that Audi remains an extremely attractive employer in the future.
We are therefore implementing numerous initiatives in our pursuit of the mission to stand for sustainability – in our vehicles as well as with our services, and this along the entire value chain.
By 2025 we will achieve:
Electromobility is one of the key topics for our industry – we want to become a leading premium supplier in this field. Our aim: In 2025 electric cars will account for more than one third of the vehicles we produce.
We will launch a series fuel cell vehicle (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, FCEV) by 2025.
As a complement to alternative power train concepts, we will further expand our leading g-tron offer. As well as fossil natural gas, these models can also run on the environmentally friendly Audi e-gas.
We are working on launching the best system range for electromobility. Among other things, this includes charging, a green electricity supply from private and public charging infrastructure as well as battery recycling. The vehicle will become an element of the so-called Smart Grid, the intelligent power network.
As well as electromobility (e-power), we are also developing synthetically manufactured fuels – the Audi e-fuels. These can make a significant contribution to CO2-neutrality. We want to expand e-fuels/e-power to such an extent that all tron customers, i.e. drivers of e-tron, g-tron and h-tron models, can drive in a climate-neutral manner.
The future success of companies will also depend on how sustainably they can shape their value chain. We are already making systematic use of technologies with which we are continually reducing our environmental impact. By 2025 we want to have established a closed sustainability cycle for our products with which we are industry leaders.
We take economical, ecological and social consequences into consideration in all decision-making processes. We ensure this through a number of initiatives. Additionally, we have signed the "Global Compact" of the United Nations. This global pact between corporations and the UN defines ten principles for safeguarding social and ecological standards.
By working together with cities worldwide we ensure access to individual, city-friendly premium mobility.
The share of the global population living in cities is growing steadily. Major cities are drivers of the economy and innovation. But increasing urbanization accelerates urban density and the city infrastructure reaches its limits of capacity. As a result, space becomes the new gold in the city. This leads to a paradigm shift – away from the car-friendly city and towards city-friendly mobility.
To ensure that personal mobility does not cause things to grind to a halt, new solutions are required in urban areas. Instead of banning cars from the city, they can become part of the solution: for an intelligent, sustainable and livable city with zero emissions and a connected traffic concept. Within the scope of Audi Urban Solutions, we are kicking off various initiatives and pilot projects which are developing new solutions and business models. Piloted driving and parking play a key role here. Automation becomes an integral part of future intelligent, sustainable and connected mobility: It increases the safety of all road users, improves traffic flows and aids the more efficient use of space in the city.
With this we are pursuing the mission to ensure access to individual, city-friendly premium mobility by working together with cities.
By 2025 we will achieve:
"Vorsprung" also means understanding the logic and aims of cities. For this purpose, we established Audi Urban Solutions, our strategic business unit for the city of the future. We want to implement one pilot project from Audi Urban Solutions in the USA, Europe and China with which we make life in the city more livable with our technologies and services as an integral part of traffic management.
We want to enable our customers to benefit from the best possible individual mobility in urban areas – either in their own vehicle or through mobility services. We embed our offer in an overall urban mobility concept.
To drive the breakthrough of new mobility services, we want to establish an independent platform that offers customers the best services in cities. It will also be open to other providers.
We want to be the market Number 1 in the premium segment for piloted vehicles. With autonomous driving, i.e. full vehicle autonomy, we want to be one of the manufacturers with the best offers in the premium segment.
We want to make premium mobility offers widely available in the market and awaken the enthusiasm of as many customers as possible for this
Overview of targets
The automotive industry is currently undergoing a phase of reinvention. In order to develop future topics and put them on the company agenda, investments in the billions are required. We want to continue financing our future out of our own pocket. We are therefore striving for a long-term sales return of between eight and ten percent. Among other things, we will achieve this through strategic realignment and by consistently saving costs where it is possible to do so without sacrificing quality.
Growth is important. Viewed alone, however, it is not a conclusive statement. For Audi as a premium manufacturer, this means: The most important factor in our core business is first and foremost the return and not the volume.
New products, services or business models – particularly in the digital world – only become profitable from a significant volume. One of our central future topics is digital services. Our aim is to reach a substantial number of customers and achieve a significant result and attractive return by 2025.
We want to be a pioneer in the transformation of the automotive industry. This is a highly challenging target, as we are facing new, ambitious players as well as our established competition. No one can shape the future with the structures and processes of yesterday. We are therefore realigning ourselves step-by-step in order to be able to act more flexibly, with a higher degree of adaptability and faster in general.
We are striving for nothing less than a top corporate image in terms of brand, quality, innovation, design, employer attractiveness, corporate culture and integrity. In China and the USA in particular, the image values are important for further growth. Only when rated as an attractive employer will we manage to awaken enthusiasm for Audi among the best employees and talents in future topics.

This activity engages students in a role play to negotiate an agreement between the United States and China about climate change policies. Students use given background material or can do their own additional research to present their assigned stakeholder's position in a simulated negotiation.
This is an interactive map that illustrates the scale of potential flooding in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida due to projected sea level rise. It is a collaborative project of NOAA Sea Grant Consortium and U.S.G.S. It is a pilot project, so there is some possibility that the resource may not be maintained over time.
This activity offers an introduction to working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by using field data on the Urban Heat Island Effect that was collected by students. The field data is entered in the GIS, displayed in a map, and analyzed.
This video on phenology of plants and bees discusses the MODIS satellite finding that springtime greening is happening one half-day earlier each year and correlates this to bee pollination field studies.
This video documents how scientists, using marine algae, can study climate change in the past to help understand potential effects of climate change in the future.
In this activity, students learn about how climate change is affecting the Arctic ecosystem and then investigate how this change is impacting polar bear populations. Students analyze maps of Arctic sea ice, temperature graphs, and polar bear population data to answer questions about the impact of climate change on the Arctic ecosystem.
This color-coded map displays a progression of changing five-year average global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2010. The final frame represents global temperature anomalies averaged from 2006 to 2010. The temperature anomalies are computed relative to the base period 1951-1980.
This activity uses geophysical and geochemical data to determine climate in Central America during the recent past and to explore the link between climate (wet periods and drought) and population growth/demise among the Maya. Students use ocean drilling data to interpret climate and to consider the influence of climate on the Mayan civilization.
In this activity, students learn how to read, analyze, and construct climographs. These climographs are a graphic way of displaying monthly average temperature and precipitation. Students also practice matching climographs to various locations and summarize global-scale climate patterns revealed by comparing climographs.
This as a 2-part activity in which students study the properties of CO2 in a lab and then use Web resources to research different types of carbon capture. A video lecture accompanies the activity.

Ko Ko Gyi's Capital Automotive named representative for Ford Motor Co
Eleven Media Group
Capital Automotive Ltd, a unit of tycoon Ko Ko Gyi's growing empire, has been chosen as the representative for Ford Motor Company in Myanmar and will open the first Ford showroom here at Yangon in April, its director Khin Tun said.
"We are preparing to open a showroom at the end of April," Khin Tun said. The first Ford Motor Showroom and Services Centre will be located in Hlaing Township, he said.
Capital Automotive is a unit of Capital Development Group, a sister company of Diamond Star Company. Their parent company Capital Diamond Star Group is also the sole distributor of Pepsi Company in Myanmar.
Led by tycoon Ko Ko Gyi, the group focuses on trading and manufacturing. It is one of the largest trading companies in Myanmar. Capital Diamond Star Group is also involved in property development, including shopping centres. Its brands include Diamond Star wheat powder, Armo fertiliser, Capital Hypermarket and Premier Coffee.
The group is moving quickly into construction of city infrastructure and is the contractor for the Shwe Gone Tine flyover, which it began last December.
Ko Ko Gyi is a member of the National Economic and Social Advisory Council, a panel that was launched last June and is comprised of advisers from academia and business.
Ford is the world's eighth-largest automaker with sales of more than 5.5 million vehicles last year. The Michigan-based company was founded by Henry Ford in 1903.

Our mamas had a great time visiting with Ericka Martinez, designer and creator at Amazing Alterations and Creations. She brought four carriers to demonstrate and share pros and cons. We all got to touch/try/feel what we wanted from her selection of a ring sling, a Mei Tai, a woven wrap, and a soft structured carrier. She also showed us how to do some different "carries" using the variety of carriers.
As a ring sling, rebozo and Beco™ mama, the woven wraps and Mei Tais have always intimidated me.

It has been exactly a week now since the 6-foot-10, 250-pound redshirt freshman center learned that he has a heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which took the lives of high profile basketball players Hank Gathers, Reggie Lewis, Kevin Duckworth and Jason Collier.
Simpson, who fought through a broken foot, asthma and stamina issues to become a significant contributor as a Boilermaker, tumbled to the floor in a recent game at Nebraska, scaring coach Matt Painter and most fans who were watching the contest on TV.
The big man from Champaign, Ill., visited with three cardiac specialists in the next week before it was determined he never will play competitive basketball again.
Davis, with whom Simpson spent his senior year at LaPorte La Lumiere before coming to Purdue, expressed a sentiment that anyone who knows Simpson would be comfortable sharing.
"It's like when you are little, and you see your little brother, and you see his toys get taken away," Davis said. "Everything he loves to do gets taken from him. You know he is sad, but you try and be there for him ... be a good big brother.
"I know it hurts right now, but he has a good family and good support. He has a good girlfriend and things like that. He know he has me when he needs me. He is just trying to take it day by day. He can still live a great life. He can stay at Purdue, be on scholarship and get his education, which to me is the most important part of being here."
Simpson, who was averaging 4.3 points and 3.6 rebounds as A.J. Hammons' backup, shared his life-changing experience on Tuesday afternoon in his first public meeting with media members since the episode at Nebraska.
"It has sunk in a little bit, but it didn't right away," Simpson said. "it took a few days for me to realize that it was actually over. It's hard, but I am trying to stay positive. I want to get more in touch with God and my family. Everybody is telling me that everything is going to be OK, but that is just hard to take.
"It is very important for me to stay involved, because during the past two years, everybody has created a bond. We all share the same dream."
Then in an instant, that dream was gone.
"When I fell, I really didn't know what was happening," Simpson said. "When I got back up, I told (the trainer) that I was all right. He asked me if I wanted to go to the locker room, and I said I was OK. That is all I can remember."
During the next week, Simpson was seen by three doctors, including a specialist in Minneapolis. He did not want to think about the possibility of never playing again. He thought he could get some medicine that would cure any condition. He fully anticipated being able to return to the court in two weeks.
But on March 4 after undergoing an entire day of testing in Minneapolis, a doctor delivered the news that Simpson's career in competitive basketball is over.
"I do feel blessed, because usually a person with this is dead," Simpson said. "The doctors said it is hereditary, but I had no clue. It was news to me."
Simpson said he has yet to ask doctors if the heart condition is linked to his struggles to get into college basketball shape. He was born with asthma but does not know if that ailment masked HCM.
"I have to stay positive and get my grades up," Simpson said. "I want to get my degree as quickly as I can and start my (professional) life."
Simpson wants to be with the team every day while he remains in school. He wants to attend every game. He will meet with a cardiologist again soon to determine what physical activity he may do but has to be prepared for the reality that even a pickup basketball game may not be in the cards with this condition.
Simpson had been familiar with HCM, having watched a documentary about Gathers. He knew everything about Gathers and how the former Loyola Marymount star died.
"I feel very fortunate to be alive," Simpson said. "I thank God every morning now when I wake up."
As coach Matt Painter said Tuesday morning, what happened to Simpson is disappointing, but it is not tragic. With proper monitoring, Simpson should live a very long and productive life.
He said Tuesday that he will pursue a career in sports broadcasting, even smiling as he talked about that potential path.
It is a shame that Simpson could not pursue a path that would have included many years on a basketball court, but it certainly is a blessing that the fall to the court on Feb. 23 in Lincoln, Neb. did not take his life.
Painter is correct in saying this chapter is disappointing, yet it is far from tragic.

ENNIS CONTINUES TO POST HUGE NUMBERS: Senior James Ennis is currently riding a 29-game double-digit scoring streak and has notched eight games scoring more than 20 points this season. He has led the team in scoring in five of the last eight games, while averaging 33.2 minutes per Big West contest. Ennis has shot 50% or better from the field in each of the last eight games, and he became the first Div. I player this season to tally at least 26 points, 15 rebounds and four steals in the 49ers victory over CSUF on 2/13. The senior also ranks third in the conference in blocked shots (1.5/game), seventh in scoring (17.5 pts.), ninth in field goal percentage (54.2%) and seventh in free throw percentage (82.6%).
CAFFEY HAS CAREER NIGHT AGAINST NORTHRIDGE: Mike Caffey's performance against Northridge on 2/9 was crucial in LBSU defeating the Matadors. He scored 20 of his team-high 22 points in the second half, and shot 100% from the three-point (4-of-4) and free throw (2-of-2) lines. His 22 points were a career-high for the sophomore. He also added five assists in the win. Caffey leads the team in assists with 99, while holding a 1.4 assist to turnover ratio.
FREELAND & KING THRIVING IN STARTING ROLES: Transfers Tony Freeland (DePaul) and Keala King (Arizona State) became eligible for the Dec. 29 Pacific game after sitting out the required year by the NCAA and have been key contributors to the 49ers first-place showing in the Big West. Long Beach State is now 10-1 with both in the starting line-up. King is third on the team in rebounding (5.6) and fifth in scoring (9.1) and has tallied two double-doubles this season. Against CSUF, he tallied a game-high six assists while scoring in double-digits (10) and grabbing seven boards. Freeland notched his first double-double of the season against CSUF, scoring 13, while grabbing a career-high 12 rebounds. He also dished out four assists and had two steals.
JENNINGS IN THE POST: Junior center Dan Jennings is in his first season playing for Long Beach State after transferring from West Virginia, and has been a solid contributor in the Long Beach lineup, scoring in double-figures in eight games this year, while shooting 50% or better in seven of the last 10 games. On the season, Jennings is averaging 9.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, and has had some of his best performances of the season on the biggest stage. At No. 4 Syracuse, Jennings led the 49ers with a career high 20 points and three blocks while adding seven rebounds, and then scored 16 points and grabbed eight boards at No. 7 Ohio State. Jennings was also one point away from a double-double against No. 11 North Carolina, scoring nine points with a career-best 10 rebounds. In his highest-scoring effort, Jennings scored a career-high 27 points on 13-of-15 shooting at UCLA.
PAPPAGEORGE'S BENCH PLAY HAS BEEN BIG: One of the team's captains, Peter Pappageorge has been a key bench player for the 49ers this season. He currently ranks fifth in Big West games for three-point field goal percentage (.467, 21-of-45) and has made 14 three-pointers over the last seven games. He made a career-high five three-pointers at Northridge, helping the 49ers defeat the Matadors 83-80, then added 12 points and two steals against Fullerton in the 49ers 85-65 win.
