Legalization : Closing The Gender Gap
- Details
- Published on 18 June 2012
- Written by Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director
The outreach efforts of the NORML Women's Alliance are pivotal to NORML's overall goal of cannabis liberation.
NORML's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition. Similarly, one of the intended goals of the NWA is to sufficiently move public opinion forward among women. Because without increased public support among women, we will arguably never bring about an end to this failed, destructive war of cannabis consumers.
There exists a startling gender gap between men and women when it comes to the issue of marijuana legalization. And even though over the past decade the work of NORML and likeminded organizations have effectively shifted public opinion overall in favor of rational marijuana policies – from just 36 percent public support in 2005 to 50 percent public support today – the gap between men and women's support for legalization remains nearly the same now as it was then.
Here's some statistics:
According to a 2005 nationwide Gallup poll, 41 percent of men said they favored cannabis legalization versus 32 percent of women, a gap of 9 percent;
According to a 2007 Zogby poll commissioned by NORML that asked, 'Do you support amending federal law to remove criminal penalties for the use of marijuana by adults,' 57 percent of men supported such a measure versus 41 percent of women, a difference of 16 percent;
According to a 2010 Gallup poll, 51 percent of men favored legalizing cannabis versus 41 percent of women, a gap of 10 percent;
A finally, the most recent Gallup survey from 2011 found that 55 percent of men favored legalization, but only 46 percent of women did so, a difference of 9 percent.
Are we making progress in shifting public opinion overall? Yes. But there continues to exist a significant and troubling gender gap that limits our efforts to bring about majority support for responsible cannabis liberation. The NWA seeks to close this gap by reaching out, engaging with, educating, and addressing the unique concerns of women.

Why Moms Want Marijuana Legalized
- Details
- Published on 18 June 2012
- Written by Sabrina Fendrick
{jcomments on}A mother's wish is for her child or children to grow up and be able to make responsible decisions about their friendships, their education and especially their safety. It is socially acceptable for parents, alcohol distributors, and even the government to teach children about safe drinking practices with a full understanding that alcohol is directly responsible for thousands of deaths every year. On college campuses, where binge drinking runs rampant, alcohol abuse has resulted in thousands of students suffering from alcohol poisoning, sexual assault, or serious injury. No parent wants to see his or her child become a statistic and many mothers have openly stated that they would rather their adult children choose marijuana over alcohol.
The physical and behavioral effects of marijuana are significantly less damaging than those associated with alcohol. However the criminal prohibition of marijuana sends the message that "marijuana is morally wrong" and implies that there is no such thing as a responsible marijuana consumer. Yet, just like with alcohol, all use of marijuana is NOT abuse.
Society condones the responsible use of alcohol consumption, yet drinking causes far more harm to the user, and to society than does the use of marijuana. Liquor companies, Federal, State and local governments dedicate millions of dollars every year toward promoting responsible drinking practices. For example,Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc.has an entire website, called "Drink Smart," dedicated to promoting principles of control, moderation, and education. Nevertheless, their 'Statement of Principles' emphasizes that, "moderate alcohol consumption can be compatible with a healthy lifestyle." The same philosophy should be applied to marijuana.
Mothers from all over the country (both consumers and abstainers) are fed up with the outdated, unjust consequences of marijuana prohibition. Their unique experiences with marijuana and the current marijuana laws are diverse and wide-ranging. Some have had their families destroyed. Some have found life-changing relief from medical marijuana, as well as freedom from pharmaceutical narcotics. Some believe that prohibition improperly allows the government to interfere in the parent's job of teaching their kids about moderation and responsibility. They understand that marijuana prohibition breeds disrespect for the law and government, just as it did during America's failed prohibition of alcohol. Others would simply prefer their children be allowed to legally choose a safer alternative to alcohol.

I have a somewhat unnatural, although not very surprising, obsession with notebooks. And while it is perfectly natural for a person who calls herself a writer to be interested in notebooks and their various properties, it isn't natural for her to spend a great amount of time thinking about, and writing about, her notebooks. But I do. What can I say?
Currently, I am using notebooks by Clairefontaine. Clairefontaine is the only notebook maker that I know of that makes their own paper. In fact, they're more of a paper manufacturer who has branched out into making notebooks. Lovely notebooks, to be sure. But the paper. Oh my god, the paper. I could sleep on this paper, it's so soft. Which is a plus if you're like me and you spend a lot of time writing in your notebook, and with inferior paper, the side of your hand that rubs along the paper as you write gets all red and shiny and annoyed. This does not happen with Clairefontaine paper. I'm using these notebooks for my journal right now:
I'm actually not a big fan of wire-bound notebooks, but these are too pretty. They have plastic covers in which real dried flowers are embedded. This is a bad picture, actually. I have them in many different colors and designs and I have a hard time picking which to use next. That's because I'm a fucking whack-job.
I use these notebooks for working on my novel:
They're very plain and have these black cardboard covers and cloth binding. They're kinda like those composition notebooks you used to have to buy for English class in high school, only they cost six times as much. It's the paper, though, I tell you! The paper! I can use any kind of ink, for god's sake I could probably use a fucking Sharpie marker and the ink wouldn't leak through to the other side. Which is the problem I had, and the ONLY problem I had with these:
I absolutely love the Moleskine notebook, and I've been using them for YEARS. They are, purportedly, the notebook of Hemingway and a bunch of other artsy-types. I bought my first one, a little pocket-sized one, at the Architecture Museum store in Chicago. They have these sturdy covers, so you can write on them anywhere and not have the notebook flopping around all over the place. They have a built-in bookmark ribbon to mark your place (because it seems to be oh-so-difficult to find the last place you wrote and the next blank page), and a handy pocket in the back for assorted scraps of crap. I had been using them for a while before I went back to grad school, and no one was using them then. I felt quite special. I have ten of the larger size on a table behind me, all completely filled with writing. But then the damn school bookstore started carrying them and now everyone has one. I can't have that. And besides, the paper allows ink to leak through, which is a problem for me. So, with only one remaining of several that I'd ordered online, I've switched over to the Clairefontaine with the pretty flowers in the covers. The wire binding isn't working for me, however, and something must be done.
The notebook I use for taking notes in class is this, also by Clairefontaine:
It has very hard covers, which makes it easier to take notes in the semi-circle, where we are not allowed to use the stupid flip-up desktop thing. And the multi-colored page edges make it easy for me to separate my classes, of which I only have two. I use the other two sections for writing nasty things about some of my classmates who annoy me.
If I could find a Moleskine notebook made with Clairefontaine paper, my life would be complete. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true.
For my daily to-do lists, I use this notebook, by Miquelrius:
Only, mine's black and it is a 6, not a 4, meaning it has six sections of differently-colored edged paper instead of 4. I bought it on a whim and didn't know what to do with it. It's not as sturdily-bound as my big Clairefontaine notebook, so it's useless for school notes, plus it's smaller, maybe 4×6 or so. Maybe 5×8. I don't know and I don't feel like getting a ruler. The paper is nearly as nice as Clairefontaine paper, actually it really is equally soft and lovely. Each page has a block at the top in which I can write the date or a title or whatever, and along the side of the paper is the Miquelrius logo, and inexplicably, at the bottom of the page, is the words NOTE BOOK. Just in case I'd forgotten what the hell it was I was writing in. It's also made in Spain, which means it's cooler than other things not made in Spain. I use it for my daily to-do lists and my assignment lists because I didn't know what the hell else to do with it. It has perforated pages, which rules out using it as a journal. I don't want the option of removing an entry from my journal. I like, however, the option of removing a to-do list from a notebook once I've either completed or given up on ever completing all of the tasks in a list. If I find some other use for it, I can stop using it as a to-do list notebook and start using it for whatever the hell I've thought of.
Actually, I'm thinking that Miquelrius might make their own paper, too. But I don't feel like checking into it.
Today, FedEx brought me this: (I told you, I have a problem)
It's a Circa notebook by Levenger (www.levenger.com). My mother turned me on to these, and while I would never use it as a journal, because the pages are easily removable, it is very handy as a means of organizing my life. The paper is lovely, 60 lb. stuff, and it has a blank space on the left side for little scribbles or extra notes or what have you, two nice boxes at the top for a title and the date:
The nice thing about this notebook is that the paper is removable and put-back-in-able. Meaning, if you take some notes, and then you decide that note belongs in another section, or you go and try to organize your notes for some specific purpose I can't think of right now, you can pull them out and then put them in another section. If the paper wears out, you spend a lot of money on some Levenger paper reinforcements. If you have a bunch of stuff, like, say, a syllabus or some handouts, that you would like to be part of your notebook, you spend $60+ on the Levenger Circa Notebook hole punch (which I'll be requesting for Christmas). It's customizable and reusable and I haven't yet fully grasped how I'm going to use it. My current plan is to have different sections for the writing class I'll be teaching on Saturdays to teenagers, the college kids I'll be tutoring, the high school kid I'm going to tutor, the 5th grade class I'll be teaching as part of my teaching class, and the writing classes I teach to 4th-8th graders on Saturdays and Sundays. Well, only Sundays this semester, as I've got this teenager thing going. (I'll talk more about that in the coming weeks, it's gonna be brutal and amazing all at the same time). I may keep a section of notes for the little mini-articles I'm going to write for the online college magazine. I don't know yet. I think it would be perfect to keep track of research. I've got a book in the beginning phases concerning a hotel down in Florida that I love (or loved, it was torn down years ago), and have a lot of research to do for it. I guess I'll just have to get another Levenger notebook for all that! Or, just use this one and use something else for all my teaching notes. I don't know. It's a quandary. One thing I like about the Levenger notebook is that it's like a paper version of Microsoft OneNote, a program I have come to depend on, especially when doing research on the internet. Occasionally, my hand cramps from writing so much, and I feel like typing instead, so I journal in OneNote.
Ever on the hunt for perfection, I've decided to order some of these Miquelruis notebooks:
I'm not sure how it will go. I hesitate to order a notebook off the internet if I haven't seen it with my own eyes and felt it with my hands. These have a leather-look plastic cover. I like the color options. I got bored with Moleskine's black, and was always on the hunt for a colored Moleskine.
I may also order some of these, also Miquelrius:
They have a Moleskine look, but are called Flexible Notebooks. I can't tell from the description if Flexible refers to the cover (which it does, I assume) or the fact that the notebook can be flexible in use. It also comes in red.
Now that I've ordered them, I realize it was a mistake. A mistake because I still have several pages left in my current journal, and two blank notebooks remaining, waiting to be filled.
And, I'm beginning to be concerned that this change in notebook choice is going to wreak havoc on my bookshelf. Whereas, at the moment, or at least until I pulled them all off the shelf to read through them, all of my filled Moleskine notebooks lined up neatly on the shelf and looked very, well, neat. Now I'm going to have all kinds of weird white wire bindings sticking out, and some strange red pleatherette stuff. I don't know what I'm going to do.
Alright, I admit it. I need help.
At least I've posted! Finally!
I ordered two of the Ciak notebooks recommended by Thomas in the comments of this post. They're very pretty. I have a small, pocket-sized one that can, literally, fit in my pocket, that I've decided to use for quick thoughts and story/essay ideas. I also got a larger one I'm using for a journal. Thomas claims that they are cheaper than Moleskines, but he's in Athens. These notebooks come from Italy, so of course they're cheaper for him. They cost around $6-8 more than a comparably sized Moleskine here in the states. Which is fucking ridiculous, particularly considering how fast I usually race through a notebook. The cover is most definitely leather, and comes in many different colors. I was forced by virtue of having no other choice to order the versions that come with colored-paper sections. At first, I was annoyed by this, but, particularly in the case of the small one I'm using for quick thoughts and story/essay ideas, it will help me to organize. One colored section for quick thoughts or observations, one for essay ideas, one for fiction story ideas, one for phone numbers of the unbelievable number of random, almost pathetically attractive men who come up to me on the street begging me to allow them to be my love slaves (kidding, really!), one for, say, things I see that I want to investigate further later when I get home and can get to the internet, one section for drunken, illegible thoughts, whatever. There's 8 sections in the pocket-sized. I'll figure out something to use them for. The big one also has different colored paper sections, 9 of them, which is weird, because there's the same number of pages per book-200. I think.
Anyway, I love the look and feel of the books. I love the elastic band that holds them closed horizontally rather than vertically, like the Moleskine. I don't have a particular love for the paper, which is a bit stiff. Every color has a different feel to it, which may be due to processing and coloring. If I can get the cream-colored paper version in a realistic time-frame, I'll probably order some. They do NOT open flat, however, which is my favorite thing about the Moleskine.
Okay, so, a challenge to notebook manufacturers out there: Create for me a leather-bound notebook available in a variety of colors, for around $14-16, with cream-colored paper lined with black lines, the paper being soft and pliable, yet durable and thick, through which NO PEN will leak. The notebook must open flat like a Moleskine, and have stiff covers so that I can write anywhere, i.e., sitting on a park bench or the floor, or a comfortable chair, or an uncomfortable chair in class, in which I'm not allowed to use the fold-away desktop but rather only my lap, bench in the lock-up of the local county jail, etc. Said notebook must also have, in the back and maybe also in the front, a pocket, in which I can keep scraps of paper and lists of ideas that can travel from notebook to next empty notebook, etc. What else do I want? I don't know.
All this constant perusing and searching for notebooks has also led me on a new pen chase. I'm wondering if perhaps I need to give a fountain pen a try. I'm wondering if they have medication for this. I'm gratified to learn that I'm not the only wacko on the planet to devote such an inordinate amount of time to notebooks and pens. So much time, that if you measured the time I spend thinking and writing about notebooks and pens and compared it to the amount of time I spend writing about other things, working on my thesis/novel, writing essays, assignments for class, etc., you'd wonder just exactly how crazy I am.
Okay, enough already.
And thanks, Thomas, for coming back to update me on the fountain-pen-in-the-Ciak issue.

Key Comparative Studies
1. Long-term survival probability in men with clinically localized prostate cancer treated either conservatively or with definitive treatment (radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy)
Ashutosh Tewaria, Jay D. Ramana, Peter Changa, Sandhya Raoa, George Divineb and Mani Menon
Urology, Volume 68, Issue 6, December 2006, Pages 1268-1274
To report the long-term survival probability in more than 3000 men with localized prostate cancer treated either conservatively or by definitive treatment (radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy).
We studied 3159 men with biopsy-confirmed, clinically localized prostate cancer diagnosed from 1980 to 1997. We restricted our analysis to men 75 years of age or younger. The extent of comorbid disease was measured using the Charlson score. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to compare long-term survival in patients who were treated conservatively versus survival in patients treated with either radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy.
After adjusting for age, race, tumor grade, comorbid disease, income status, and year of diagnosis, the overall survival rate at 15 years was 35% for conservative management, 50% for radiotherapy, and 65% for radical prostatectomy. The corresponding prostate cancer-specific survival rates were 79%, 87%, and 92%. Patients undergoing radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy had lower overall mortality than patients undergoing conservative management (adjusted relative risk 0.67 for radiotherapy and 0.41 for prostatectomy; P <0.001). The increase in the survival duration was 4.6 years with radiotherapy and 8.6 years with radical prostatectomy.
The results of this study have shown that compared with conservative management, both radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy increase survival for men with localized prostate cancer.

2. Long-Term Survival in Men With High Grade Prostate Cancer: A Comparison Between Conservative Treatment, Radiation Therapy and Radical Prostatectomy—A Propensity Scoring Approach
Ashutosh Tewarin, George Divine, Peter Chang, M. Mendel Shemtov, Matthew Milowsky, David Nanus and Mani Menon
The Journal of Urology, Volume 177, Issue 3, March 2007, Pages 911-915
We performed a retrospective cohort study using propensity score analysis to calculate long-term survival in patients with prostate cancer with Gleason score 8 or greater who were treated with conservative therapy, radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy.
Materials and Methods:
Between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1997, 3,159 patients in the Henry Ford Health System were diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer. Of these patients 453 had a Gleason score of 8 or greater in the biopsy specimen and they were the cohort. The end points were overall and prostate cancer specific survival. Propensity score analysis was used to more precisely compare the 3 treatments of observation, radiation and radical prostatectomy. Median patient followup was longer in the radical prostatectomy arm than in the conservative treatment and radiation therapy arms (68 months vs 52 and 54, respectively).
Of the 453 patients 197 (44%) were treated conservatively, 137 (30%) received radiation therapy and 119 (26%) underwent radical prostatectomy. Using propensity scoring analysis median overall survival for conservative therapy, radiation and radical prostatectomy was 5.2, 6.7 and 9.7 years, respectively. Median cancer specific survival was 7.8 years for conservative therapy and more than 14 years for radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy. The risk of cancer specific death following radical prostatectomy was 68% lower than for conservative treatment and 49% lower than for radiation therapy (p <0.001 and 0.053, respectively).
Survival of men with high grade prostate cancer can be improved by radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.

Available as Single Rope or joined Double Rope Cable Clip NOT Included
Let's face it, after 50+ years "old school" just wasn't cool anymore. That's why the folks at LPG Muscle decided to give grandpa's triceps ropes a hi-tech overhaul which included a revolutionary new gripping style made possible by some sweet Hi-tech Hemispheres! They not only rock the triceps long heads like ropes do, but also smoked the laterals along with the throwing muscles of the wrists and forearms!
But LPG didn't stop there, no! They wanted to do grandpa justice by unleashing arms to attack weight stacks with more freedom of movement. So out went the thick, inflexible (and filthy) ropes and in came an ultra-lightweight and flexible cable suspension system covered in plush, hygienic rubberized tubing that was sure to get noticed! And, athletes take note...Tri-Bells will enhance ball throwing power!
To perform any rope type triceps extension exercise with Tri-Bells, simply attach cable suspension loop to the snap hook of cable resistance machine. Next place palm(s) over Tri-Bells Hi-tech hemisphere(s) with suspension cable positioned between thumb and pointer finger.
Begin exercise by situating body accordingly (kneeling, standing, lying, etc.) with elbow(s) bent to form a right angle and under tension of weight stack, straighten arms against resistance until straight. Hold this full extension muscle contraction for 1-2 seconds, then slowly (2-4 seconds) bend elbows (lowering weight stack) until arm(s) once again reach the starting position angle. Repeat until desired set repetitions are completed.

Some Quick Words on Memorization
12/06/2005 - James White
Repetition is the mother of memory, we have been rightly told, and such is the case with the memorization of Scripture. I have never bought into all the memory systems out there that use various visualizations and tricks to remember things. Maybe I should, as I am not good with names, though I'm pretty good with faces. Anyway, I memorize Scriptures the old fashioned way: write out the verse, repeat it phrase by phrase until I am able to do so entirely. Review the next day, and move to the next step, the ability to write it back out from memory. I had an old QuickVerse program years and years ago that allowed you to do the same thing on the computer. In any case, I would review the verse for a full week and, if I could successfully cite it and write it out after a week, it would go into the long term list, to be reviewed on a monthly basis.I am certain there are a number of computer programs out there to assist with this work, and in fact, I will be looking myself for a Palm product to assist me personally. I already have some excellent programs for vocabulary review in that realm, and if anyone knows of a "MemVerse" kind of program (that was back in the 80s) that still exists (or something like it for the Palm), please drop me a line. I'd appreciate it.
I don't buy the excuse some folks offer that "I can't memorize the Bible." Almost everyone I know memorizes passwords and all sorts of numbers and addresses and the like. It is almost always a matter of having a strong enough desire and having a goal you wish to reach.
So as you work on Colossians 2:8-9, make sure once you are able to quote it correctly, work on writing it out. That is the real test of whether you have it plainly in mind. And then review it! Start a card file if you need to, use the computer, whatever will allow you to review over the course of the week and then to review it on a less frequent basis once you have it in long term memory.

Of course not at Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue because everyone would have vacated the building if we had gone past 10 minutes but the results of our Rabbinic Team's collusion for NPLS' Civic Service is to be found at http://www.npls.org.uk/Sermons/New/Civic%20Service%202011.html
A taste of all 3:
"The Danes do it once, the English twice and the French three times. And the Jews do it like everyone else."
There is a fascinating trend in the weekend supplements that I believe no one is too sure what to make of. That is the role of men in society. There are headlines and strap-lines which read:
"Depressed, repressed, objectified: are men the new women? They're less fertile, more weight-obsessed and 'non-essential to parenting.' No wonder men are confused about modern masculinity." (The Observer Woman, August 08)
If national service means a life-time of commitment to community and volunteering, I guess I am for it.
My model was the AJEX members who stood in front of our Ark seeking God's blessing.
I always think of November as a month of broken dreams.
November 1938 Kristallnacht.
November 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated.
November 4th 1995 the night when Yitzchak Rabin, Israeli warrior turned peacemaker, was assassinated.
November 1985, Operation Moses, the fulfillment of the Sigd, the Ethiopian Jews' longing to return to Zion. Today Israel's 120,000 strong Ethiopian community continues to struggle for acceptance and equality in Israeli society. What happened to their dream?
Simone de Beauvoir, in her masterful work La Vieillese (Coming of Age), sees the fear of age as a cultural phenomenon and seeks to give voice to a silenced class of human beings. We often tend to think badly of old age, to see ourselves as we advance in years as separated from society, as a burden, no longer productive. Our technocratic society tries to see in its incessant discoveries the knowledge of the past as obsolete. She finds that we face a hidden conspiracy in our society, where we subject ageing to the "silence of shame". Old age becomes a taboo.
So chuffed to see Mitzvah Day develop and as supporters from its first year, we are now seeing it influence other faith communities.
The above articel reads:
he Government minister in charge of the Big Society initiative has praised the effect Mitzvah Day has on society.
First we had the problem of this current Gregorian year. Do we call it 2 thousand and ten or twenty-ten? Then the Hebrew calendar throws us one out of leftfield. In long-hand we have no problem. The year 5771 is
Chameishet alafim u'shva mei'ot v'shivim v'echad
We must hope that our national faith leaders find paths of reconciliation, but what about us in the holiest road in Middlesex, Oaklands Gate!? And indeed in our homes and streets with our neighbours who are Methodist believers?
I am delighted to announce that we have been able to arrange a gig at NPLS, with Avital Raz an Israeli musician who is currently somewhere in Wales mid-way through a UK tour of the summer folk festivals. She will be with us with her sound artist, Amos Ungar, weaving their magic influenced by a wide range of sources Judah Ha'Levi to Indian Druphad, opera to piyyutim with a tad of blues and rock thrown in for good measure. Do come and join me for what will be a cracking event.

I was struck by a photo in one of last week's papers of a sea of male figures dressed in tuxedos and an almost invisible shock of long blonde hair in the centre. A paradox that one can be almost invisible, yet have a shock of hair in the centre. The shock of hair was that of Jane Campion, the only female film director to appear in that photo of the world's film directors at the Cannes Film Festival.
It is not everyday that a Liberal Judaism publication hits the top of Amazon's sales lists but here it is!
I am well chuffed seeing as my father, Rabbi Dr Andrew Goldstein co-edited it with my (sort of) big brother, Rabbi Pete Tobias and my wife designed it. Watch out Dan Brown!
There is an old saying among Jews: two Jews, three opinions. So how will the Jews vote on May 6? It's a silly question. You might as well ask, "how will the public vote?"
And yet, the media - the Jewish media in particular - can't resist the idea of toying with the idea of a single Jewish vote. But why should there be? There is not a single issue to unite the Jewish community to vote in a particular way, just the same concerns as the public at large - the economy, taxes, education, health and so forth.
But what, I hear you ask, about Israel? What about anti-Semitism?
A few Shabbat afternoons ago, I was sat with Rabbi Pete Tobias at Vicarage Road. One more Rabbi and we would have been taking status cases, conversions and the like but instead, Rabbi Pete was grumbling about the Hornet's lack of, well, most things and I was becoming increasingly concerned by the rising goal count against Aston Villa (Chelsea won 7-1!). Supporting the teams we do, it would be all too easy to feel rather down.
This week, I was almost brought to tears in the middle of a funeral that I was conducting. I had read the prayers and initiated the rituals, heard a glowing eulogy that had the congregation in tears of laughter and sorrow. Yet when the grandchild of the deceased howled because he had not had the opportunity to say goodbye to his grandfather, my heart was torn asunder.
Read on: http://www.npls.org.uk/Sermons/New/Vayikra%205770.html
Nachas is usually schlepped from younger to older generations but this Shabbat I must 'fess up,' the JC (C2, "Liberal demand for haggadah") got it wrong. It was not I who was co-editor of the new LJ Haggadah (http://www.liberaljudaism.org/pdf/LJ_Haggadah_OrderForm.pdf)but my father, Rabbi Dr Andrew Goldstein and therefore son is schlepping nachas for the father!
It is incredible but not terribly surprising that the quest for 'freedom' and 'equality' is met with headline makers highlighting 'fear!'
This is an interesting case study on progress in religion.
Liberal Judaism welcomes the new amendment to the Equality Bill, which will lift the ban on Civil Partnerships being held in religious buildings. The vote was passed in the House of Lords on Tuesday 2nd March, by 95 votes to 21.
The amendment to the Equality Bill, proposed by Lord Alli, does not seek to force any organisation or individual to do anything in respect of civil partnerships. It merely allows those who wish to do so to open the doors – literally – to their houses of worship and sanctuary, so that gays and lesbians can celebrate their loving unions alongside their straight brothers and sisters.
For more see my piece in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2010/feb/24/civil-partner...
Liberal Judaism has always been committed to promoting justice and equality for all members of society. In 2005 we became the first religious movement in the UK to publish official liturgy, the B'rit Ahavah, for same sex partnership blessings. However, a same sex couple wishing to have their civil partnership take place in a religious building is currently prevented from doing so by UK law. Liberal Judaism regrets this and is therefore supporting Lord Alli's amendment to the Equality Bill which will permit civil partnerships to take place inside religious buildings.

Memorial Day Grilling Safety Tips
A list of grill safety tips provided by the Prince George's County Fire and EMS.
Firing up the grill today? Here are some grilling safety tips from the Prince George's County Fire and EMS:
Basic Grill Safety
- Grills must never be used indoors; the fumes create carbon monoxide which become highly toxic in enclosed areas.
- Grills must be kept at least 15 feet from any structure or combustible materials.
- Never leave a lit grill unattended.
- Never wear loose fitting clothing that could catch on fire.
- Never use gasoline once the grill has been ignited (never add more fuel to the fire).
- Grills should be kept on a level surface away from the house, garage and landscaping.
- Keep children away from the grill.
- Don't grill on decks or in garages.
Charcoal Grill Safety
- Charcoal produces carbon monoxide (CO) when it is burned. This colorless, odorless gas can reach toxic levels in a closed environment. Each year people are injured and die as a result of these fumes from grills used indoors.
- Never burn charcoal inside of the home, even if ventilation is provided.
- Never store a grill indoors with freshly used charcoal. Allow the charcoal to cool 48 hours before disposing.
- Never store charcoal outside where it can get wet. When charcoal dries, it becomes a flammable solid, creating a fire hazard.
- Dispose of grill ashes in a safe fashion. Never place hot ashes in paper or plastic bags, or plastic containers. Use metal containers.
Gas Grill Safety
- Propane and natural gas barbecues are very popular. Like any gas-fired appliance, they can be dangerous if not used properly.
- All gas lines, valves and connections on a gas grill should be periodically inspected to detect leakage (if a leak is detected, the grill should not be used until it is repaired).
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
- Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas and don't attempt to light the grill until the leak is fixed.
- Keep lighted cigarettes, matches or open flames away from a leaking grill.

"Don't grill on decks" it says. I guess this is a picture of what not to do....

A man was hospitalized Friday afternoon when a train destroyed the back half of a farm tractor at a railroad crossing west of Sutherland.
Justin Christner was driving a Case 225CVT tractor, waiting for a westbound train to pass, investigators said. After the train passed, Christner, 24, drove the tractor south across the tracks and into the path of an approaching eastbound train, which he apparently did not see because the westbound train had obstructed his view, according to investigators.
The eastbound train hit the back of the tractor and pushed it off the train tracks, narrowly missing Christner in the cab.
The wreck occured around 3:45 p.m. near the Keith County line, about seven miles west of Sutherland.
Lincoln County Sheriff's deputies, along with Sutherland Rescue, responded. They found Christner injured but alert. He was taken to Great Plains Regional Medical Center for treatment with multiple injuries but he was in stable condition.
The train crew was not injured in the accident.
The tracks remained open to limited train traffic and Union Pacific Special Agents responded to assist in the investigation. The investigation continues, according to the sheriff.

Ancient Egyptians paid special attention to the organs of their dead, embalming them so they would continue to function in the afterlife. Now it seems they did the same for sacrificed ibis birds, and even packed their stomachs with food so they wouldn't go hungry.
Ibis mummies are found in their millions at shrines in Egypt, where they were sacrificed to Thoth, the god of writing and wisdom. Andrew Wade at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, and his colleagues used a CT scanner to look inside two mummified adult ibises and one hatchling. This revealed that embalmers had removed their internal organs. The adult gizzards, complete with snail shells which may have come from the birds' last meals, were then replaced. The hatchling's body cavity had been stuffed with grain.
Studies of human mummies show that ancient Egyptians often removed and embalmed the lungs and digestion organs before placing them back inside the body – perhaps so they might work in the afterlife. The ibis mummies suggest Egyptians believed that birds also travelled to the afterlife, says Wade. "It suggests the provision of an afterlife food source to the bird," he says, "and lends support to the idea that the viscera of ibises and humans alike were meant to continue their living function within the afterlife."

I know Clattenburg will be shocked, angry and going over every detail in his head
By Graham Poll
Monday would have been a tense, nerve-jangling day for Mark Clattenburg. One of those days when you can't think straight because the phone won't stop ringing.
Of course you could turn it off but your bosses at the PGMO (Professional Game Match Officials) board might want you.
You also need the support of family, friends and colleagues. So you leave the phone on.
Wrong call: Fernando Torres was sent off by Mark Clattenburg

- GRAHAM POLL'S WEEKEND REF WATCH: Madley debut is well deserved, while Clattenburg will hope for an easy afternoon on Chelsea return 26/04/13
- Graham Poll: Chelsea should give a warm welcome to Clattenburg... or they may suffer the consequences 23/04/13
- GRAHAM POLL: Ban Suarez NOW for seven games... he's got previous! 22/04/13
You can't help but be drawn to the radio phone-ins. Surely someone is on your side.
You believe that you have done nothing wrong — but are fully aware that, in the heat of 'battle', inappropriate comments can come out.
I would never condone the use of 'inappropriate language'. Indeed, foul language should not be uttered by a match official, ever. But it is. Sometimes you are pushed so far that it seems the only way a player will listen is if you swear and perhaps shock him. Very occasionally I did swear at players and justified it in my mind as the last resort to control them. Sometimes they threatened to report me, which can be worrying and affect your decision-making.
On the morning after the game, you try to recall how it all went wrong.
Clattenburg will have been wondering how a performance which was going so well suddenly blew up in his face. Monday will have been a very long day. He will have reviewed the DVD and seen how well he was doing until the 62nd-minute sending-off of Branislav Ivanovic; a routine dismissal conducted in textbook fashion. Detect the foul, assess the sanction, check with colleagues and administer in a calm and dignified way.
But then? Was it a comment from a Chelsea player, disappointed that a team-mate was being dismissed and with that the chance of winning a key game possibly being taken away? Was it the crowd reaction and the pressure that changed his attitude?
Dismissed: John Terry is shown the red card by Graham Poll
All these thoughts are analysed; the second sending-off will be replayed time and again. Knowing Mark, he will be justifying the decision. On Sunday night he was insisting he could justify the decision as it was his opinion that Torres was trying to get an opponent into trouble. That's as maybe but with contact from Jonny Evans there must be doubts.
Given his history of dealing with controversy, Clattenburg will be able to deal with the fall-out from the game, his decisions and their consequences. However, the allegations that were made afterwards will be a whole new experience for him.
If he is innocent, he will be livid and getting his statement prepared to submit to the FA. He will be thankful that the referee communication system was in place and operating well. It clear that Clattenburg referred to his assistant Mick McDonagh just before the Ivanovic dismissal and he will be relying on the fact that the 'open mic' will mean every word will have been heard by both assistants and the fourth official Mike Jones.
They choose between the same 'open mic' or a 'push to talk' system requiring them to activate the system by pressing a button. The referee has no choice. And that will be Clattenburg's defence.
That's the way it was for me in 2006, when I was accused of telling players that I would 'sort them out' and 'teach them a lesson'.
Joint effort: Branislav Ivanovic was sent off after Clattenburg talked to his assistant
I refereed Tottenham v Chelsea in November 2006. Spurs won 2-1 and I sent John Terry off for two cautionable offences. After training the next day Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard claimed I had told them I would sort them out after their unacceptable behaviour in the midweek Champions League game against Barcelona.
I was contacted by the FA to provide a statement in response and they then looked into whether I would be charged. I felt like the person on trial, even though I had done nothing wrong. My three colleagues in that game all confirmed that they had heard no such comments and the allegations were withdrawn.
Chelsea players later retracted their claims on the club website.
Of course if all matches had the dialogue recorded — as it can be and indeed has been — then the authorities would know exactly what had and what had not been said.
When the communication system was introduced I was in favour of broadcasting it for fans attending, as is the practice at rugby games with 'Ref Link'. This was blocked, but should be re-examined. The least that should happen is that recordings should be made and kept.
Danger: If Clattenburg abused John Obi Mikel his refereeing career is over
If Clattenburg is guilty of making inappropriate comments his career could be over. While Luis Suarez got an eight-game ban and John Terry four, Clattenburg knows that his would be a much tougher sanction which will effectively end his career.
This game, and the allegations which followed it, should be a watershed for referees to look at themselves and accept that by allowing the football field to be awash with foul language and abuse they are doing the game and themselves a disservice.
It is time for them to stand up and be counted, to dismiss all players who hurl abuse at them and never use such language, however tough the situation or extreme the provocation. Insist that all dialogue between the officials is recorded, if only for protection, and start to deliver a game we can all be proud of again.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—
Despite evening events and activities being cancelled due to weather, the school board for Grand Rapids Public Schools still met Tuesday night.On the agenda, first readings for six procedural policies for board members and the way meetings are conducted, but no mention of how the search was going for a new superintendent.
Neal has been very busy since taking on the position, she said.
"It's been going really good. Actually, I have not had a lot of sleep, but it's been going really good. People are coming up, they are sharing information, they've been very open, very willing to talk to me, so it's been great." Neal said.
"The board of education is super excited right now to be in a place where we are receiving an overwhelming response, receiving positive feedback regarding Superintendent Neal, we're so happy to have her on board, she's doing well." Board President Senita Lenear told FOX 17 News.
Next week, Lenear said that a search firm to help hire a superintendent will be selected. The district hopes to have a new superintendent hired by summer, so they can get acclimated to the district, Lenear added.
Neal has received a lot of feedback from the community about her performance and also about what they want to see in the next superintendent.

Sasha Pivovarova was noticeably absent on the Fall 2012 runways after announcing her pregnancy early last December, but we haven't heard much of her since. Hopefully her career isn't over as quickly as it started (you may remember she opened Prada's Fall 2005 just two weeks after being "discovered). More importantly, this is apparently what you look like when you're a 9-months-pregnant model.

Description from the manager
Situated about 100 miles north of Boise near Payette Lake, it is both a recreational mecca and abundant with wildlife. This is most apparent in Ponderosa State Park which sticks like a thumb into the middle of a lake. It is most picturesque in the fall. You can take a hike along the Huckleberry loop to see all sorts of wildlife. In the summer there is fishing, boating, jet skiing, along with all summer activities. In the winter just 8 miles away is Brundage Mountain with over 150 inches of powder.

LIMERICK The piles of junk and trash in some township yards are becoming a nuisance in the municipality and may be cracked down on soon.
Township Supervisor Thomas J. Neafcy Jr. brought up his concerns at a recent board meeting.
Ive been getting complaints from residents on what I call nuisance properties, Neafcy said. People, over the years, have been accumulating piles of junk.
Neafcy said the owners have feigned compliance when efforts have been made to have them clean their yards up.
We go out to do enforcement and we try to work with the property owner in the timetable, Neafcy said. We get the owner moving the (junk) pile from one corner of the property to the other, throwing away a couple of pieces and (the owner) saying theyre in compliance.
The biggest issue with the nuisance yards is the decline in surrounding property values.
Everybodys got a right to collect what they want, Neafcy said. But they dont have a right to devalue their neighbors property.
Neafcy called Limericks response to these properties very lax.
Township Manager Daniel E. Kerr said their policy is to try to work with property owners for these types of violations.
Wed rather sit down with somebody than throw the book at them, Kerr said.
However, Kerr identified four properties that specifically are nuisances and circulated photos of them amongst the supervisors. He said enforcement on those properties will be stepped up because of the length of time that theyve been a problem.
Solicitor Joseph J. McGrory Jr. said the board of supervisors does not have direct control over code enforcement, but that they can put a general edict out to staff for stricter imposition.
McGrory also cautioned that stepped-up enforcement has some consequences.
All of this takes money, he said. If you want to step up and enforce this, get ready.

Water availability is likely to have been an important determinant in the evolution of primitive cells. Water stress (the immobilization and drying of cells, desiccation of cells, and rehydration of cells) induces marked changes in gene expression of cyanobacteriumNostoc commune. Upon rewetting, cells ofN. commune,desiccated for as long as five years, show a rapid and sequential recovery of respiration, photosynthesis, and then nitrogen fixation. We isolated selected genes for further analysis of water-stress induced changes in transcription and translation. Of particular interest is the expression of the wspgene whose product accounts for more than 60% of the total soluble protein.

The Delta contingent fought hard in all the matches. Austin Solari took the first-place trophy for the second year in a row in the Schoolboy 91-pound division. Facing a 33-man bracket, Austin dominated every match, winning by major decision or pin fall. Cole Gregerson, wrestling in the Bantam 50-pound bracket, faced a 23-man field. Cole pinned and majored his way to the final and finished second overall.
Jesse Gregerson wrestled his way to a third-place finish in the Novice 85-pound weight class. Devon Lyle completed his year with a fouth-place finish in the Schoolboy 77-pound division. Wrestling in the 70-pound Intermediate class, Daniel Roanhorse finished in eighth place in only his second year of competition.
The club is sending six wrestlers to Reno for the final Folkstyle Wrestling Tournament of the year and hopes to achieve similar excellent results.
Members of the Delta Wrestling Club are Tanner Blank, Joey Trujillo, Austin Solari, Dries Pruis, Devon Lyle, Jesse Gregerson, Briar Edwards, Donovan Guerrero, Daniel Roanhoarse, Ethan Leak, Jakob Romeo, Bryant Garcia, Cody Pruis, Cole Gregerson, Hunter Leake and Luke Dizon. The club's coaches are David Klingsheim, Anthony Thurgood and Rudy Dizon.
