Menorahs In The Public Square: A History
There's something prominently displayed at the Mississippi Governor's mansion: a nativity scene. Seeing it recently took me by surprise.
When I asked my friends about this, they laughed and reminded me that I was not in New York anymore. My adopted home of Jackson, Mississippi is smack in the middle of the Bible Belt, and while Jews all across the country feel the December dilemma, it is especially strong in the South.
Hanukkah, historically considered a minor holiday, was embraced more broadly by Jews wanting to fit in with fellow Americans celebrating the holiday season. Menorahs became standard in homes, businesses, and eventually, the public square, particularly in towns with large Jewish populations. It led me to wonder how these public manifestations of Jewish identity came to be, and what that means in a predominately Christian place like Jackson.
Most people don't realize that the menorah's public face in America began in 1974. That's when Lubativch leader Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson began pressing his local emissaries to erect menorahs in town squares where holiday displays were already present. Liberal Jewish organizations criticized the decision, but Schneerson defended the campaign.[1] Over the next few years, menorahs began springing up in cities and towns across America. The campaign was so successful that by 1979, the Carter administration arranged for a giant menorah to be built on the White House lawn. By 1982, President Ronald Reagan designated the White House menorah as the National Menorah.
Many Jews, loyal to the concept of a separation of church and state, took issue with menorahs being placed alongside Christian symbols in the public square because all religious symbols on government property represented an endorsement of religion and therefore a violation of the Establishment clause of the First Amendment. For them, these public displays of Jewish religious symbols threatened the separation of church and state, a foundational principle that served to protect the religious freedom of the Jewish community. As such, organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the American Jewish Congress, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) fought against them which while the National Jewish Commission On Law And Public Affairs (COLPA), the litigation arm of Agudath Israel, and other Orthodox religious Jewish non-governmental organizations fought to keep them in the public square.
The battle came to a head in 1989 in County of Alleghany v. ACLU.[2] This case looked at the constitutionality of two holiday displays in downtown Pittsburgh. One was a nativity scene, standing in a very prominent position in the courthouse. The other display was an 18-foot tall Hanukkah menorah donated by a group of Lubavitcher Hasidim accompanied by a 45-foot tall Christmas tree, at the base of which was a sign stating "Salute to Liberty."
In a splintered decision that included nine separate written opinions, the court determined that the display of a menorah next to a Christmas tree in a public square could be appropriate, holding that the menorah and the Christmas tree were secular symbols, thus making the display compatible with the First Amendment, while the display of the nativity scene inside the courthouse was deemed unconstitutional, because it was a religious symbol. However, for many Jews, the Menorah holds immense religious significance It's a complicated ruling.
The allowance of menorahs in the public square does potentially open the door for other religious symbols on public grounds. Religious symbols like nativity scenes, particularly in the Bible Belt. By pushing for menorahs displayed in the public square, ultra-Orthodox Jews also paved the way for public displays of other religious groups' items.
What holiday symbols do you think should be allowed in the public square during the month of December? Is it better to have all, or nothing? How does it make us feel to have some-but-not-all in many public squares?
Don't feel badly if you are torn; the courts have been as well. Here's a list of other court cases dealing with public menorah displays. Happy Hanukkah!

Re-Dedicating My Hanukkah
About this time last year, I remember walking around the streets of Jerusalem, counting the menorahs I could see in windowsills and doorways. I was excited and inspired—I had never seen such a prevalent, and beautiful, public display of Jewish ritual before.
On Hanukkah, we are told to light the menorah and place it at the entrance to our homes, a place easily visible to those passing by in the street. Over the years, the tradition has changed and many place the menorah in the window, facing the street. The rabbis say that one should choose the window most visible from the street, whether that window is in a bedroom or a family room. If many people pass by the entrance to an apartment (say, in the stairwell), the proper place for the menorah is just outside the entrance to the apartment. All this is to say that the menorah should be positioned in the place where it will be seen by most people, in order to publicize the holiday.
This year, I'm going to place the menorah in my front windowsill of my apartment in Jackson, Mississippi. I'm going to do so without a second thought. I have the privilege of placing a menorah in my windowsill without the fear of persecution in response to this public display of observance. What's more, I do so with great pride and ownership of the ritual.
This year, next to my menorah, I'm going to place a banner that signifies the meaning of Hanukkah to me, a holiday that's meant to bring light into our world. As a Jew devoted to social justice, to me that light represents equal rights for all. That light represents my belief that all people, regardless of religion or race or gender, should be able to walk down the street without fear of persecution or violence. Everyone should feel privileged enough to place the equivalent of their menorah in the windowsill.
Over the past weeks, as crowds have gathered across the country to demand an end to police brutality and racial violence, I've often wondered what I can do as a Jew and an ally to support this work. So this year, I'm adding a simple object to my windowsill—a sign that reads "Black Lives Matter." There are similar Hanukkah campaigns and initiatives being encouraged by many national Jewish organizations, such as Bend The Arc and Jewish Social Justice Roundtable.
Hanukkah means "dedication." This year, I am re-dedicating my Hanukkah. I hope you will join me.

Making Menorah-Oil… Maccabee-Style!
Today's post is from guest writer Joanna Brichetto, Experiential Educator at Nashville's West End Synagogue, who also runs the website Bible Belt Balabusta. Her Hanukkah program was so cool, so we were THRILLED she wanted to share this post and her amazing pictures here on our blog!
When I teach Nashville kids about Hanukkah, I bring olives, olive oil and an oil chanukiah, but the connection of Hanukkah to oil always comes across as a little . . . underwhelming.
For too many years, miles and multicolored wax candles separate kids from the "miracle of the oil." Until now.
This year, students at West End Synagogue Religious School in Nashville, got to make olive oil—shemen zayit—like Maccabees: with a life-size, working replica of a Hellenistic-era olive crushing installation, featuring a crushing wheel, pivot pole, and basin. Kids pushed the pole to rotate the "limestone" wheel over fresh olives, and scooped the mash into sacks for pressing. Meanwhile, costumed interpreters showed posters of the five-step oil production process from tree to Temple Menorah.
Underwhelming it was not!
I dreamed of bringing an olive crusher to our school for years, and looked for synagogues doing something similar, but aside from a handful of churches that host all-out Walk Through Bethlehem events, I found nothing. Chabad has an excellent franchised oil workshop, but it uses modern tools like an electric centrifuge, and I was after an experience as historically authentic as possible. I had to have a big wheel. A friend helped me track down plans for a crusher, and once I showed them to Sharon Paz, our Director of Lifelong Learning, she commissioned a congregant to build it for the school. Our 2nd century BCE replica looks remarkably like stone, and to see it is to want to work it. It is simply irresistible, which is an ideal descriptor for any lesson plan.
The crushing installation was the centerpiece of our Hanukkah "Oil Crush" program, around which rotated complementary oil-themed activities created by Sharon and myself. Students and families practiced brachot and how to light a chanukiyah; made oil-based treats for our homeless program; judged a kosher chanukiyah contest; made and ate latkes; decorated chanukiyot to take home; bobbed for sufganiyot; and nibbled at an olive oil-tasting bar. Even our tzedakah project was oil-based: we collected funds to help local seniors with heating bills.
Honestly, we didn't end up with enough oil for a single "cruse," much less enough to fill the Temple Menorah, but this very fact gave students a sense that it was no easy feat for Maccabees to make the massive amount of oil—of any quality—needed in a short time. Our program was more "exploration" than""demonstration," and we'll certainly expand it next time. Meanwhile, a room full of families, volunteers, staff and teachers got a greasy, hands-on reference point to Hanukkah oil that no one is likely to forget.
P.S. Our Oil Crush program was funded by the West End Synagogue Religious School Enrichment Fund and the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

Through the union cave!
Armed with my repels, I enter the cave.
It's dark, a trickle of water runs across the wall. I spray myself with a repel, then walk. I walk past a rock, past a pond, finally to a maniac breathing fire.
"That's dangerous, man!"
Fire breather: I'll show you dangerous! Vulpix, go!
Sadly, his vulpix is destroyed by cookie.
I walk down the stairs to the right, and find tm 39 rock tomb!! Yes! I will teach it to Cookie!
I walk back up, walk down down down and fight a hiker and beat him with sandwich.
The terrain becomes treacherous. I have to watch my step, and carry the terrified Sandwich.
Soon we reach another hiker. He dies too.
Okay, now Sandwich has sleep powder and is level 14! Time to evolve Jalapeño. He fights a fire breather and he has a koffing! Perfect. He goes down to an ember, and the second koffing dies to another one.
Ugh, so close. But fear not, you will evolve soon. I fight a maniac wearing a dino costume-wasn't it supposed to be a charmeleon one? I fight his slowpoke, and defeat it.
A strange white light envelopes Jalapeño, his body becomes bigger and...
"Yes you evolved!"
From here, the last trainer is a piece of cake and I exit.
Rain! Jalapeño will not like this. I switch to butterfree and take out this hikers machop,
Up ahead, I see this guy being bullied by a man wearing black clothing. That's suspicios.
Anyway, I arrive in azalea town, heal and get ready for the slowpoke well!

Homemade fungicide killed plants?
I looked up a recipe for a safe fungicide and insecticide. I found a recipe for a spray that claimed to be safe to use on vegetable plants(excluding tomato).
I used the second recipe on all of my plants except tomato. i sprayed during the early evening and it rained about 4 hours later. It continued to rain until i got home from work the next day. All of my plants have turned black or very dark and saturated. They look the way weeds do a day after spraying weed killer on them. Are my plants going to die? What can i do?
any info or advice would be appreciated.
Natural Garden Spray Recipes, does read as if the ammonia is getting near the dangerous concentration. Other than that, I've no conjecture.
I don't remember farmers ever putting ammonia on the leaves and stems of growing plants, but I have been away for a long time.

Paterno Family Sues NCAA To Reverse Sandusky Sanctions
Originally published on Thu May 30, 2013 3:31 pm
The family of late football coach Joe Paterno has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania Thursday, seeking the reversal of NCAA sanctions against Penn State that resulted from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Update at 3 p.m. ET. Lawsuit Filed, Posted Online:
The lawsuit has now been filed; our report was written in the hours before it made it to the Court of Common Pleas in Centre County. A copy of the 40-page lawsuit has now been posted online. Our original post continues:
Calling the sanctions "unlawful," the Paterno family and their fellow plaintiffs, who include several current and former university employees and former football players, said the incident "is further proof that the NCAA has lost all sense of its mission." Those comments were in a statement issued ahead of the suit being filed.
The university says it isn't part of the lawsuit, which targets the NCAA and its president, Mark Emmert, and Edward Ray, who was the chairman of the executive committee when the sweeping penalties were handed down.
"The University is not a party to any lawsuit against the NCAA that may be filed by the Paterno family," the school said in a statement. "Penn State remains committed to full compliance with the Consent Decree and the Athletics Integrity Agreement."
The consent decree, a descriptor that may strike some as an oxymoron, is the term for the binding agreement between the NCAA and Penn State to abide by the stiff sanctions the organization imposed on the university last July.
Those penalties included a four-year ban on bowl games, a cut in athletics scholarships, a $60 million fine and the voiding of all football victories from 1998 to 2011. It also includes a monitoring and probation period.
The Paterno family's lawsuit seeks to have the consent decree deemed null and void, and to draw punitive damages and compensation from the NCAA. The estate says it "will donate the net proceeds of any monetary recovery from this lawsuit to charity."
The suit's expected filing comes one day after the estate's lead attorney, Wick Sollers, appeared on the NBC Sports Network's Costas Tonight, where he laid out the family's views in talking with host Bob Costas, along with former Pennsylvania Gov. Dick Thornburgh and Paterno family spokesman Dan McGinn.
"It was, the suit will argue, the first time that the NCAA has handed down penalties under its 'loss of institutional control' language even though there were no underlying violations of NCAA rules at Penn State," reports Penn Live's Charles Thompson, who wrote up an overview of the TV segment and the case.
In the past, Penn State has said it accepted the sanctions in order to avoid the complete dismantling of the university's football program. The NCAA's case for the sanctions was laid out in a report on the scandal prepared by former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
"The one thing everyone should agree on is that the Sandusky scandal deserves a thorough, fair and careful review," Sollers said in the family's statement. He later added, "The NCAA's actions sought to limit the knowledge of the case and trample the rights of the individuals and institutions that were unfairly and inaccurately blamed by the Freeh report."

Bean leaves curling
peel(z6 CT)May 12, 2009
Can anyone give me some clues as to what might be going on? I've posted about it on my blog, with pictures and my thoughts on possible reasons... I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!
Here is a link that might be useful: Gumshoe Gardener
Mine are doing round about the same thing. I thought that they might not have liked the Insecticidal soap I sprayed on the as they curled the next day.
My cucumbers did that after I transplanted them. They eventually recovered. I thought it was lack of water too. I don't know what it was but I am blaming it on non-hardening. I am sure that is not your problem though. I assume you started them in the garden from seeds. There are so many knowledgeable gardeners on here. I am sure you will find your answer.

broke collarbone in sleep
I woke up Sunday AM in pain. I must have rolled on my right shoulder and popped the bone forward, breaking it into four pieces. I have suffered with bone pain for 30 years. Don't think I could have ostiopprosis(sp?)have always been a milk drinker and love dairy. Have very stocky bones too and have been very physical all my life, horses, chores, hay, etc. hard work. Do any of you have any clues what could have caused this or have you heard of breaking bones in sleep? Thank you for any help.....
I will see an orthopedic surgon Dec 2 and am so hoping to hear some answers, can't find any clues online. I do think something has been wrong for 30 years causing the pain, and at least these xrays are proof of a problem. This is painful and I'm so afraid of more bones breaking, don't know if menapause has anything to do with this, but think it could. Thank you all for your kindness and support, I'm most appreciative!
It sounds like you've never had the 30-year bone pain evaluated by a physician.(!!!) That pain can't be normal, and I wouldn't be surprised if this fracture was related. I hope you will get a thorough evaluation and that you'll be feeling better soon.
Thanks, thought I'd update. Today had extensive blood test and through radiology bone study of spine. My primary dr said "i'm VERY concerned" and I am grateful for his caring. So now I wait for clues. My greatest pain is my 90+ year young mother was about to move here to live with us. I wanted so profoundly to protect and care for her, and now I'm lost in unknowns. I've been searching online, but can't even find the phrase to parce the question for reasearch.
Thanks for letting me cry, I'm back to bed now.....
Is your primary doctor going to refer you to an orthopedic specialist? Make sure he consults if he will not refer you and consider going to another doctor if your insurance will allow. Perhaps a teaching university might have someone who will recognize your problem. Years ago I was diagnosed with an usual problem in my left wrist and my orthopedic specialist took a while to figure it out. I took his x-rays to UCLA and they recognized it right away.
Best wishes to you, and please keep us posted! I for one am dying to know what this mystery is.
Dear Jen, thank you, I'm trying to be cheerful, but have waves to sob. I called "advise nurse" that AM and she later called back for me to go to the ER immediately, which I did. Everyone said it looks like a classic broken clavicle that football and moto/cycle trauma will cause. But I was asleep in my bed, air mattress and tons of pillows because of years of pain, proclaimed as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or it is all in your head (which has always made me insanely outraged!). My primary Dr said, after looking at my XRays, "you are vindicated!". From emergency I was refered to the ortho/surgery and she too, said this is concistant with extreme trauma, not sleeping. I see her again for another XRay and exam Dec 28. My primary said "I'm Very concerned" and added tests to the blood work the ortho wrote in addition to the bone density, and also a spinal bone study, which was done Friday. Thank you so much for the suggestion to consult a teaching university. Stanford is right here, and I will heed your advise and see what I can learn.
My greatest sorrow is my mother, she knows what happened, but I don't want to upset her any more. My hubby is being so wonderful and very helpful, I'm profoundly grateful for his support.
Thank you again for your kindness.
Something to try.... I have Fibro, and have bone pain where I broke my foot 4 years ago. The pain has never gone away, even though it has healed. My Rheumy prescribed Miacalcin Nasal Spray for me to try for the bone pain. It works great! It is a drug usually used for osteoporosis (sp?) .... but she found it works well for bone pain! Only side effect for me has been is stronger bones.
Wow, bone pain for 30 years, my heart really goes out to you. I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis in August through a bone density test. I wasn't surprised, as I have several sisters who also have it, and we were all milk drinkers growing up, LOL! Even women who have been taking hormone therapy for years (estrogen, etc), have not been protected from a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
You really do need to see a specialist - an orthopedic doctor. Don't be surprised if the bone density test comes back with a high T-score. I look forward to reading your reply as to the test results. Why hasn't the cause of your bone pain been discovered years ago? Did you ever fall and have a traumatic injury? Maybe while you were in school?
You may have a hereditary tendency to osteoporosis, which will catch up with you no matter how much milk you drink.
It runs in my family (aunt, sister, cousin) and now I have it, diagnosed through a bone density test. I have always eaten dairy products and I took hormone replacement after menopause, but still got it.
My sister has it so bad that, with no accident or injury, a little piece of her backbone broke off requiring surgery.
Sister and I are now taking Fosamax tablets once a week. I am told that this medication can stop bone loss and even reverse it, slowly making our bones harder. (Cousin is taking an injectible medication which is supposed to work faster, but I don't know the name.)
I hope you recover quickly and can have your mother come to live with you after all. Take care!

Military Base Closures:
Lack of Data Inhibits Cost-Effectiveness of Analyses of Privatization-in Place Initiatives
NSIAD-00-23: Published: Dec 20, 1999. Publicly Released: Dec 20, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request concerning the privatization in place of select Department of Defense industrial facilities, GAO focused on: (1) determining how contractors are responding to decreasing workloads at these privatized facilities; (2) comparing the cost-effectiveness of the privatization-in-place operations to the former government-run operations; and (3) identifying the impact of privatization on excess capacity in the Department's industrial infrastructure.
GAO noted that: (1) in general, the contractors at the privatization sites are facing decreasing defense workloads and have either initiated or planned efforts to reduce operating costs and improve efficiencies; (2) contractors at these facilities have experienced difficulties in attracting new customers and are uncertain about future workload levels; (3) contractors at the Navy privatization sites in Kentucky and Indiana are optimistic about efforts under way to increase workloads; (4) due primarily to data limitations, GAO was able to compare the cost-effectiveness of privatization in place with the former government-run operation for only one of the three facilities in question; (5) GAO analysis of a recent Air Force cost comparison study indicates that costs to the government for fiscal year 1997 for work performed at the privatized facility in Newark, Ohio, were about 16 percent higher than the estimated cost had the Air Force continued to operate the facility; (6) similar cost comparison studies of the Navy privatizations have not been done and were not possible to construct due to (a) the absence of sufficient, detailed historical baseline cost data for the closed Navy facilities, and (b) changes to workload volume and mix; (7) contractors at each of the privatized sites have initiated business improvements that appear to be increasing operating efficiencies and reducing costs to the government; (8) in general, privatization in place has not optimized reductions in excess capacity and operating costs in the infrastructure owned and operated by the Department of Defense-a major base realignment and closure objective; (9) privatization in place allows work to remain at the original sites but be performed by the private sector; (10) while the Department no longer owns the infrastructure, it continues to support it through payments for contract work performed at these facilities; (11) indirectly, the Department continues to pay for excess capacity, and as a result, the goal of eliminating excess capacity may be realized more in form than in substance; (12) the cost reductions anticipated under the base closure process may not be fully realized; (13) at the same time, privatization-in-place actions can produce some reduction in excess capacity and operating costs, where privatized facilities are also used to consolidate defense related work from other contractor facilities; and (14) in such instances, contractors' efforts to improve business practices and reduce their own defense business infrastructure may create efficiencies in overall public-private defense infrastructure.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD did not concur with the recommendation, stating that determining reductions in private sector defense infrastructure operating costs is prohibitive and that it is unreasonable to require DOD activities to retain historical baseline cost data to assess privatization-in-place initiatives because it would place unnecessary burdens on these activities. DOD also stated that periodic reassessments of privatization-in-place initiatives are unnecessary because future sourcing decisions will be based on competitions, not on analysis of historical baselines. While DOD has taken no action, GAO continues to believe that the recommendation is valid.
Recommendation: Should the Department of Defense consider privatization in place in the future, the Secretary of Defense should require the services to: (1) consider the overall cost-effectiveness of this approach in reducing operating costs and excess capacity in the combined public and private sectors supported by the defense budget; (2) retain an adequate baseline of historical government costs, preferably on a per-unit basis, to assess the cost-effectiveness of privatization in place; and (3) periodically reassess the cost effectiveness of prior privatization-in-place initiatives, in light of excess capacity in other private sector and Department of Defense facilities and continuing declines in military workloads.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.

So, who says Facebook is a fad?

"Facebook has 500 employees and $100 million in annual revenue, compared to Google's 17,000 employees and $16 million in annual revenue."
Facebook does not have more revenue than Google.

on Mar 4, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Facebook is reported to have $100 million in annual revenue by several reputable sources (search for Facebook annual revenue).
Google's 2007 annual revenue was $16.6 Billion according to their income statement posted on Yahoo Web Link. It looks like PAWeekly didn't notice that these reports are in the thousands.

Palo Altan,
I do. Lots of people know it is a fad. In one or two years it is going to be, "face-what??"
It is myspace and nothing more. It appeals to the demographic that will drop you like a hot potato for the next "new thing."
Smoke and mirrors. Wait for the boat to sink.

Just wanted to share a photo of my new Dwarf Olive Bonsai. It stands at 5" in height.
I'm shooting for it to become a nice large sumo olive like I saw at Meehan's (second picture). I'll repot into a larger pot this summer to start the growth process. Maybe in 30 or 40 years it'll reach the large sumo size!

Owensboro Airport Expanding
The Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport has seen marked growth over the last few years and shows no sign of stopping. The airport has expanded its runway to 8,000 feet, making it the third airport in Kentucky with a runway 8,000 feet or longer (CORRECTED: WKMS originally reported the Owensboro runway was the third longest in Kentucky).
It has also spent almost $3 million to expand its terminal and invested $670,000 in its control tower. Airport Manager Bob Whitmer said increased commercial traffic has helped the airport make tremendous improvements over the last few years.
"These are services that the general public would like to have," Whitmer said. "And there's an economic development side to it also. If you don't have air service, a lot of businesses will not even consider the idea of coming to your community. Having a well-equipped airport is a big deal."
The Federal Aviation Administration grants the airport $1 million annually for boarding over 10,000 passengers a year, a mark reached in 2009. Whitmer said the airport has secured funding for its control tower through September of 2015 and plans to continue its growth spurt with a general aviation and professional flight school, an expanded relationship with the military, and more direct flights to Florida.

DOESN'T PAY THEIR BILLS by A Winter - 09/19/2011
Bad company. They do not pay their bills nor do they return phone calls. They purchased equipment from us in June, 2011 and told us that a check was coming numerous times, but no payment has been received. We have left many messages on their answering machine because no one ever answers the phone, and have not received any calls back.

On point assessment.
I read the whole thing . Very good .
I also read Luttrell's book, Lone Survivor , written with a writer named Robinson . The book is written like many other memoirs of war I've read that fell into the hands of professional writers . The first half is the usual account of growing up plus excruciating detail on training that even includes a listing of the four rules of firearms safety . In other words, they made the book like a good stack of pancakes, thick and syrupy . The action part and the heroism of those 4 men seem impossible . Either the SEALs really are supermen or the account was embellished . I don't know .
Luttrell / Robinson give the liberal media a deserved bashing but an unfocused one . Instead of griping about what the media would " probably say ", the writers should've cited specific media excesses from the past .
The book says they had no rope to tie up the goatherds ; I'd think you could improvise with shoe laces as instructed by Rex Applegate in his book, Kill Or Get Killed .
I am a Vietnam-era civilian . I read a lot but never had formal military training .
I don't know what I don't know .
That said, I wonder how a four-man team can be expected to be self-sufficient or self-supporting . Suppose someone breaks an ankle, suffers a poisonous bite, or just gets deathly ill ?
If a team that size had run into just 15 Taliban, that would, to me, have been a calamity .
I think 4-man operations should be conducted with maximum emergency support on hand . I mean c-130 gunships warmed up on the runway or flying nearby, dedicated helicopter gunships ready for takeoff , other helicopters ready to fly over to : 1) establish communications 2) drop supplies 3) extract the team 4) Land reinforcements . And maybe artillery zeroed in on likely enemy approaches .
You would think that after the disaster at Desert One under Jimmy Carter, the risk of civilians stumbling upon the team would be taken into consideration in the planning ---also that operations would never be planned "thin" .
The Blackhawk Down mess in Somalia should have made plain how dangerous it is for a few men to be immobilized under attack by infinite numbers of enemy .
That underscores the need for reliable communications, escape capability and scrapping the mission if detected .
For more reading material :
The book, SOG, by John Plaster is relevant here . It deals with 6-man teams in Vietnam . Delta Force by Chargin' Charlie Beckwith and Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko were disappointing works, I felt .The Hit Team by Dag Christenson and Vengence by Jacobs deal with operations involving small Israeli assassination teams .
Numerous WWII books about The Commandos, Merrill's Marauders, The Sabateurs of Telemark, MacArthur's escape from the Phillipines, Stillwell's hike out of Burma and the French Resistance drive home the importance of contingency planning, intelligence, stealth, training, physical conditioning, communications, first-class equipment, coordination, support etc.
From personal experience, 4 man teams work great for CQB. More than 4 in an average sized room gets pretty tight. I've done room entries in classroom sized rooms with 8 people, and even in a room that size there wasn't a lot of space for us to get out of each other's way and get clear of the door quickly. Especially given the size of some of the other guys on the team. LoL
There's plenty of others on here with much more experience than I have in this area though.
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
"...it is ...ALIVE!!!"
Regarding Luttrell's account:
As an atheist and an Objectivist, I have a big problem with the religious stuff in the book .
The decision not to kill the goatherds was partly based on Luttrell's being a Christian . That means, he was influenced by a canned philosophy he was told to live by . If he shut off his powers of reason and deferred to Christianity, that may have contributed to the deaths of the men .
He repeatedly credits God with saving him or keeping him from losing his rifle . While one can convince himself of miracles in cases like this, logic contadicts such conclusions ; One out of four surviving is not miraculous . The rescue 'copter being destroyed with all aboard was not evidence of divine intervention .
Lone Survivor may be an example of how dangerous it is to take risks based on religious mysticism instead of reason .
If anyone wants more info, visit www.aynrand.org as I'd prefer not to belabor or debate this matter on this thread .
With all due respect to SEALs, they've been involved in a number of embarassing and tragic predicaments in OEF from Anaconda onward, and it may be that they were put in these situations by superiors who had n inflated opinion of the SEALs invincibility. One of the drawbacks of being a high speed/low drag special operator is that some people have overblown expectations of what you might be able to accomplish; and certain support elements that might be standard for more conventional operations might be omitted from small unit covert direct action missions. Army Delta operators expressed misgivings about the SEALs--who's forte is maritime operations--being "rushed in" for lead roles in critical land warfare missions without enough knowledge of the tactical situation.

AG Coakley: National Grid messed up paychecks for nearly 2,000 workers
- Jon Chesto
- Managing Editor, Print- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Buying Christmas gifts this season just got tougher for a number of National Grid workers: A major payroll disaster has affected the paychecks of more than 5 percent of the British company's U.S. workforce.
Patrick Stella, a spokesman for the utility, tells me more than 1,000 employees — out of Grid's roughly 17,000 workers in Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island — have had payroll issues since late October. In some cases, employees actually ended up with more money than they should have, Stella said. But in many cases, workers were shortchanged. Stella couldn't provide a breakdown of how many were adversely affected in Massachusetts, saying the company is more focused on "getting through all the corrections and making sure all the employees are made whole" than completing a full assessment of the situation.
Update (12/14): Attorney General Martha Coakley said the number of National Grid employees from Massachusetts who are missing paychecks is nearly 2,000. Coakley just told the company that it will face fines if it can't address all the pay issues by Dec. 21.
There were two reasons for the massive payroll snafus, Stella says. First, the British company was in the final stages of converting its legacy payroll systems into one centralized SAP-based system in October. Then the storm hit, and thousands of employees ended up working different hours and at different sites than they normally work. The confluence of a new system and an unprecedented storm, Stella says, led to a number of errors being made.
Needless to say, these errors didn't sit well with the unions that represent National Grid workers. A group of them sued the utility in Middlesex Superior Court last month, alleging that the company breached its collective bargaining agreements by failing to pay union workers on time or for the full amount of time that they worked, and for failing to take adequate steps to correct the problems with its payroll systems.

Butterwort leaves turning brown
ASilentKNovember 4, 2012
Hi all,
I recently purchased my butterwort (p. primaflora) from a supposedly reputable nursery, and for the first two or three weeks it was doing really well, even starting to grow. Now, it looks like this. Any thoughts?
I really want to save this little guy. It's so cute.
What's are you using for soil?
Did it came like that from the nursery or did you planted it yourself?
Light condition?
Is it in a terrarium or out in the open?
How much light is it getting?
Those are important thing you should describe. But for now it looks like you potted it in regular potting soil & bark. It's hard to tell...
