The Magick Of Words
In other posts, I have written about how and why our spoken language and the act of speaking magically are of the utmost importance to us as Pagans. In essence, why words are magical.
As a magical practitioner, I am quite sensitive to the sound, context and meanings of magical words, and to the ways words are used in our Pagan lexicon. As a musician, author and poet, I am even more sensitive to the flow of words as tools of communication, poetry and Magic. I am well aware that according to Magical Theory, words must be used correctly and pronounced correctly, or the magic won't work as it is intended to (note the subtlety there).
Magic, according to such brilliant theorists as Crowley and Levi, works when the mind is connected to deity or Universal energy, and when that mind directs its will into the world (Crowley defined Magick as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will."); For most practitioners, the primary means of directing will is through the spoken word. This is echoed in the Qaballistic belief that God formed the Universe by speaking the words of the Torah: as each word was spoken, the action unfolded. Qaballists study the Hebrew language as a magical tool through which they believe they can tap into the creative energy of the Hebrew God. Similarly, the major arcana of the Tarot represent the Hebrew alphabet; many occultists believe it is through the energies of the Hebrew letters that the tarot is able to divine the future. Coming as it does from Qaballah, Ceremonial Magic (which is where Gardner learned his stuff) is quite insistent upon words being used and spoken correctly. Members of orders like the OTO and the Golden Dawn research incantations thoroughly before delivering them; especially since practitioners of these systems are often working with non-native languages such as Latin, Hebrew, Theban and Enochian.
We humans are unique among mammals in that we have a vast vocabulary; our brains have a lobe that allows us to assign meaning to sounds, and we are able to distinguish the most subtle differences in sound and meaning (for instance, we can distinguish the difference in meaning between sound-alike words like read and red, or pen and pin). The meanings we give to sounds, the ability to speak and to catalog words, allows us to communicate in very subtle ways: even pronouncing a word with different tones or facial expressions gives the word different meanings. Likewise placing the same sound in a different context does the same (I read that book; the book's cover was red). While the octopus conveys subtle messages by tiny changes in skin color, and the cat by shifting its posture, we communicate our most subtle messages with words.
Because words are so important to our belief in magic, I find it odd and often clumsy that as a Pagan community we often mispronounce, misuse and misunderstand words. As I travel from one end of the Pagan community to the other during my tours as a musician and writer, I often find people using our Pagan lexicon in zany ways, assigning meanings to words that mean something entirely different, or pronouncing words terribly wrong. Now none of this would matter much if words were not such an important part of our magical arsenal, and if words were not the glue that binds our rather tenuous Pagan community together in communication and similitude.
Many times words are mispronounced because they are only seen in print, rather than heard (and at that, rather than heard in the language of origin; many of our magical words come to us from languages other than modern English). Other times, words change meanings because an author misappropriates or simply redefines a word. I often argue with brilliant Pagan scholar and blogger Jason Mankey about meanings of words basic to our Pagan vernacular; Jason states (and with much validity) that despite a word being misused, if that word is misused in the same way in a number of books in print, the word takes on the new meaning to those who learn Paganism by reading. A good example is the word Wicca; Wicca came to us through the writing of Gerald Gardner, who either appropriated or coined the term to define the religious tradition of Witchcraft he had learned from the New Forest Coven in England. In Gardner's writing, Wicca refers to a European Paganism that may only be practiced in a coven environment, and may only be passed through the experience of initiation at the hands of an initiate. And that's what the word Wicca meant for three decades. But by the '90s, as Jason Mankey would argue, enough books were published that defined Wicca as inclusive of non-European Pagan deity, and stating that one might self-initiate or practice as a solitary, that most people in the Pagan community now see these as absolute definitions of the term.
Why is this an issue? Because words are the only means we have to communicate and identify our practice (especially when we communicate so often and so predominantly on the Internet). As a teacher of various Pagan and magical paths (Wicca, Qaballah, Tarot, etc) I find that seekers come to me more often than not with vastly different definitions for words which I commonly use in teaching and lecturing.
So, I thought I'd make a small list of words that I hear mispronounced or misused often in the Pagan community. I do this as an observation only: I do not mean to present myself as the ultimate authority. And of course there are many who would contest my scholarship, my definitions and my proprietary use of a certain word in the way I use it. Still, I have been practicing the Craft for three decades: you pick up a few things. So ignore my list as you will, research it if you like, or use it in your communication with the community and with your Gods.
Athame: I hear this tool's name pronounced many ways, predominantly either AH-tha-may or a-THA-mee. The first is considered correct. The athame, according to Wiccan definition, is a double edged black-hilted blade. Of course shops sell all manner of things in all manner of materials labeled as athames.
Besom: A name for the broom used to sweep Wiccan circles, traditionally made from broom corn, ash (handle) and willow (binding). I have heard this pronounced bah-SOM and BEE-zum. It is correctly pronounced BEH-sum (rhymes with lesson). The Nimbus 2000 was only recently added to the lexicon of broom lore.
Celtic: Celtic refers to a vast ethnic heritage that at one time spanned from near Asia to western Europe. Like American Indians, the Celts had many tribes, each with distinct languages and cultures (to get a sense, compare an Iroquois to an Apache). The Celts we know best are the five nations who were never assimilated into European culture at large: Manx, Welsh, Breton, Irish and Scottish. Again, these five Celtic nations are distinguished by language and culture, though they share commonalities. A few common mistakes made by modern Pagans: the Celts have no soft 'C'. So the way the basketball team is pronounced, SELL-tik, is incorrect when referencing this culture (it is correctly said as KELL-tik). This is also true of Celtic deity names: Cerridwen (KER-id-when), or Cernunnos (KEER-new-nose). (As a general rule, whenever one practices a system whose terms are not in English, it is a really really good idea to learn something about the language the terms are in). Which leads me to...
Cernunnos: Despite the writings of a certain Wiccan author whom I deeply respect, Cernunnos and Herne are vastly different Gods who happen to look alike (like me and Bruce Willis). Cernunnos, in fact, is a title, which means "Horned One." It was common for Celts during the Roman era to avoid saying the names of their Gods for fear the Romans would assimilate their deities into the Roman pantheon (as happened with Epona and Branwen). So Celts would use a title rather than a name. We have no idea what this God's name really was or is. As for Herne, he is a Saxon British God of a very small area in Oxfordshire, an area never within historical memory inhabited by Celts. Herne is much more likely to be equated with Odin (it has been suggested that a common English name for Odin was Horin, hence Herne: see my book Through The Faerie Glass: also see The Lost Gods Of England by Brian Branston). If you need a Celtic connection, Herne's mythology is very similar in some ways to the Welsh God Arawn, and over centuries, legends of the two Gods might have been intertwined in common mythic telling.
Druid: Druids were a very mysterious cult, and most of what we know about them comes to us through the writing of Ceasar and other Roman scholars; as the Romans were set on defeating and later converting Celtic cultures, this is like learning about the Jews through the writings of Hitler. While they were mysterious, we do know certain things about the Druids that do not seem to be in keeping with use of the term by modern Pagans. The word Druid is related to Dryad, and refers to the powers of the Oak tree. The Druids were an elite clergy, who sat at the courts of kings, not a clergy of the common people (though the word Drui in Gaelic does refer to Witchcraft, and a Beandrui refers to a female practitioner). Probably most important, Druids never worshiped at Stonehenge. Stonehenge was built by a Brithonic culture that had its own clergy and practice. By the way, both the OBOD tradition and ADF have done an excellent job in researching who and what the Druids actually were, and practice in ways that are very much in keeping with the Druid legacy.
Elder: While an elder of the community at large is defined by age, in the Craft an Elder is defined by Craft experience. In Traditional Wicca, for instance, an Elder is one who has taught the Craft for 21 years. So a sixty-year-old who came into Paganism three years ago may be an elder citizen, but not a Craft elder; a forty-one-year-old who was initiated at the age of twenty, and who has practiced a particular tradition since initiation, is a Craft Elder. In traditional Craft, Elders will often step back from actively running a coven and allow younger Priestesses and Priests to handle the day-to-day work of management, preferring to take on select students or tasks. This is why Gardner said "And the greatest virtue of a High Priestess is that she recognizes that youth is necessary to the representative of the Goddess, so that she will retire gracefully in favour of a younger woman, Should the Coven so decide in Council..." This was not meant to devalue the Elder, but to point to a natural progression of the Elder's role in the running of the coven (Gardner often said good things badly).
Imbolc: Gardner's WOTY term for February 2nd, also known as Bridsmas or Candlemas. I have heard this pronounced im-BOL-ik. It is a word from Irish Gaelic; the 'b' is very soft, almost silent, and the term is pronounced IM-molk (sort of rhyming with HIM oak, but with a softly stated 'L' in the word oak). It roughly means "from the belly," which refers to milk coming from ewes that are about to give birth at this time of year. It is very important to remember that these sabbats are derived from hunting and agrarian societies, so things like lambs being born are serious matters (see my book The Flowering Rod for more on this, as well as the Farrars' Eight Sabbats For Witches).
Lughnasad: The feast of the Irish God/hero Lugh (LOO), celebrated August 1st. From Irish Gaelic, this is pronounced LOO-nah-sah, (not lug-NAS-id).
Mabon: The Autumn Equinox on Gardner's Wheel Of The Year, which has become the blueprint for most ensuing Wheel diagrams. Mabon is a Welsh God name (literally The Young One), the God of the grain who will die in the harvest. I hear this word pronounced MAY-bun and my-BONE. The proper Welsh pronunciation is MAH-bun (rhymes with cabin).
Muggle: While this fantasy novel term is a perfectly good one for a non-Pagan, and universally understood, the word used since the codification of Wicca in the 1950s has always been Cowan. Gardner stole the term Cowan from the Masons, for whom a Cowan is one who builds with field stone rather than learning, as Masons do, to shape stone into blocks. I have also heard a term stolen from the sci-fi fan community, a Mundane, used this way.
Samhain: Please don't get me started.*
Shaman: I've talked about this here before... the word Shaman come from the Tungusic language of northern Asia, and refers to a practitioner of Northern Asian magic; the Shamanic experience revolves around altering one's consciousness by learning to receive visions from Underworld creatures, primarily the Bear, whose hibernation allows it to bring Underworld wisdom into our physical world (see my book Fairy Tale Rituals). So technically you cannot be a Celtic Shaman, as the Celts are A) not Asian, B) do not focus on the Bear in their worship and C) have their own terms for this type of practitioner. C) is also true of American Indian, African and Amazon cultures. In my humble opinion, if you are invested in being a practitioner of American Indian, Celtic or African traditions, it would indicate a certain amount of respect to learn the word for a practitioner of those systems. Also, as I may have mentioned, Jesus was not a Shaman.
Solitaire: A card game, using a single deck of cards and played by one player. One who practices a magical path without a coven, network or group is a Solitary. Technically speaking, you cannot belong to a "circle of solitaries," though I have heard this term used. Also, technically speaking, and while it is done all the time, you cannot practice a coven or group-based path as a Solitary. So for instance, technically, you cannot be a Solitary Wiccan or a Solitary Voodoo practitioner: as I have said though, people do it all the time. Star Foster recently published an excellent article on the Solitary mindset in relation to group-based practices.
Tradition: One on-line dictionary's definitions include:
"The handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, especially by word of mouth or by practice: something that is handed down: the traditions of the Eskimos: a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting: The rebellious students wanted to break with tradition."
What these definitions agree upon is that Tradition means something handed down over time. In Wicca and other Magical systems, a System does not become a Tradition until it has been practiced by several generations of hived covens or practicing groups (3 Craft generations would be the Wiccan blueprint). Therefore, one cannot say "I have created my own Tradition," or "I practice a Solitary Tradition." You certainly may say "I have created my own System," or "I practice a Solitary System (or Path)."
Witta: While the word Wicca was certainly made up by Gardner or one of his peers, Witta was made up by more recent authors: historically there has never been a codified Celtic system similar to English Wicca, and unlike Wicca, the word does not seem to have fallen into enough popular use to be an effective definition.
This is by no means an exhaustive list: feel free to add your own terms about which you have a bug-a-boo in the comments section.
From back home in the wilds of New Orleans, this is Kenny Klein, the Rambling Wren, explaining it all.
*For those really new to this stuff, and thereby excused: SOW-en, from Irish Gaelic. The term is still in use in Ireland meaning winter. All sabbats (except poor little Imbolc) occur on the 1st or the 21st of a month (once in a while a solstice or equinox will fall late enough at night to be considered the 22nd). This means that Samhain does not fall on October 31, but on November 1st. However, the Celts see day as starting at sundown (as do the Jews), so Samhain begins on sundown of October 31st, which technically (to the Celts) is November 1st.

This ethos is really consistent with the messages that children are getting at home so it is really a very coherent operation between the home and the school."

After disbanding the Boo Radleys in late 1998, studio eccentric Martin Carr spent a couple years on the couch and opted to get involved with music again and began writing and recording under the Brave Captain guise. Part of Carr's rationale behind breaking up the Boos was fear of becoming plain; as evidenced with his Brave Captain material, the new path showed no signs of the "normalness" that many of his '90s peers had ventured off to. Carr signed on with Wichita Recordings, the label run by Creation refugees Dick Green and Mark Bowen. His debut 2000 EP, Fingertip Saint Sessions, Vol. I (recorded with Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and Super Furry Animals associate Gorwel Owen), featured a couple songs he'd written while the Boo Radleys were still together. As they were written with the range-y singing of former Boos sidekick Sice in mind, much of it sounded a bit awkward with Carr taking the vocals. Full-length Go With Yourself (Fingertip Saint Sessions, Vol. II) followed months later to lukewarm reviews, again losing points for Carr's vocals. Minus the shadow of Sice's vocal acrobatics, the shortcoming was easier to see past. The lengthily named Nothing Lives Long, He Sang, Only the Earth and the Mountains was released by Thirsty Ear in early 2001, combining the best moments of Carr's first releases for American consumption. ~ Andy Kellman

Killer Engagement Ring Can Actually Kill
Tobias Wong designed a line of engagement rings with the razor-sharp diamond pointing up. He believes that the engagement ring, long a symbol of unholy matrimony, should also be able to maim and/or kill. When fitted with a 1 karat or larger diamond, the otherwise unimposing ring becomes a lethal weapon. I like it, but already have a deadly ring. Sure it's just my plain gold wedding band, but it's definitely killing me. Slowly. I like to call it my torture ring. Horrible, horrible mistake.

'I Do' wedding bands were created by Sakurako Shimizu and are similar to waveform bracelets but much more matrimonial. They were cast in palladium and 18K gold and feature a waveform version of the words "I do". Of course, if you were smart you'd sneakily have an "I don't" ca... / Continue →

Companies enlist third-party engineering expertise to keep costs in check and accelerate the time to market.
by Beth Stackpole | Published March 1, 2013
When you're designing the next generation of a product, there's an unquestionable requirement for all engineering disciplines and skill sets to be on deck. But what happens when you're a small, modestly funded upstart with an extremely limited on-board engineering talent pool?
If you are Edison2 -- or any of a growing number of startups and even larger manufacturing companies -- the answer lies not in growing internal staff exponentially, but rather, in partnering with outside consultants, engineering services firms, vendors or product development specialists as a way to tap into collective domain expertise in a more cost-efficient and productive manner.
In the case of Edison2, which took home the top $5 million prize in the 2010 Progressive Insurance Automotive X-Prize competition for its Very Light Car (VLC), the company is now knee-deep in development on the follow-up VLC 4.0. This is a completely new model that employs some of the same architecture and fuel efficiency features of its predecessor, but it is being designed with an eye toward commercial production. Thus, it must address standard regulatory requirements as well as safety, comfort and handling features.
Given the scope of the work involved, Edison2 made a conscious decision to enlist a third-party partner in the development effort "in this case, Altair ProductDesign "rather than taking the time to build out its internal expertise or invest in costly simulation software. So says Brad Jaeger, vice president of engineering and operations at Edison2.
"We have a big-picture problem to solve, and we need engineers that can understand the problem holistically and design what amounts to a proof of concept," he explains. With simulation capabilities and optimization at the forefront of this next-generation product development effort, Jaeger says it made far more sense to tap into Altair ProductDesign's deep bench of simulation talent, as well to leverage Altair's knowledge of applying its own simulation tool, HyperWorks, to a range of cross-industry engineering problems.
"We can take their expertise and knowledge, and the tools that are available to them, and get a much quicker turnaround in terms of getting results from simulation," Jaeger says. "It's also a much better price point, from our perspective."
Jaeger points out that there is no need for Edison2, which has 12 employees (only three of whom are engineers), to purchase any software or hardware. Nor does Edison2 need to invest the time it would take for an individual engineer to get up to speed.
"It's hard to dedicate a few months for one engineer to get up to speed with the [simulation] software, then actually start cranking out results," he adds. "This lets us avoid that ramp-up time and cost."
Specialty Requirements Drive Demand
Many companies, big and small, across all industries are finding themselves in a similar boat. Continuing economic pressures means reduced resources for many shops, and like Edison2, it can be cheaper for a firm to tap outside engineering reserves on an as-needed basis "or even as a long-term engagement compared with building out their internal engineering bench.
Scarcity of specialized engineering talent is another factor driving companies to look for outside help: "The United States isn't graduating enough engineers, and there are a lot of jobs that can't be filled because the expertise isn't there," notes Ken Amann, executive consultant with CIMdata, a PLM consultancy and research firm. "It also makes it difficult for companies to keep and maintain some of the skill sets they need."
Specifically, increasing demand for simulation and optimization services, coupled with intelligence around the use of new materials, particularly composites, are specialty areas that are in hot demand. Another big gap in most companies' internal engineering knowledgebase is deep experience in software and electronics development "both critical aspects of today's increasingly multidisciplinary products, whether they be jumbo jetliners or mainstream consumer appliances.
"One of the reasons for accelerated demand is the increased product complexity, especially that surrounding software and electronics, which is outside the domain of the expertise in most companies," notes Joe Barkai, research vice president at IDC Manufacturing Insights, a market research firm. "Companies have issues maintaining enough talent with the expertise at the right cost structure."
Boston Engineering, which provides everything from new product development to test and measurement to manufacturing automation services, says the complexities of designing mechatronics products has helped fuel demand for its services, according to Mark Smithers, the company's vice president and COO. Unlike some engineering services firms, which focus on mechanical, electrical or software services (or even some combination thereof), Boston Engineering takes a systems approach to engineering. Smithers says the company infuses that discipline in both its processes and its strategies, which greatly aids in the design and development of complex mechatronics products.
As simulation and optimization play a larger role in product development, particularly early on in the cycle, companies are looking to augment their in-house resources with experts familiar with specific CAE tools, and with consultants who understand how to apply physics to solve the engineering problem at hand. Carlo Poloni, CEO of ESTECO, the maker of the modeFRONTIER multidisciplinary simulation and optimization software, says he is definitely seeing an uptick in demand for consulting services from companies who want to take full advantage of the product, and see optimization as delivering a competitive edge.
"The design of new competitive products require sophisticated engineering considerations [and software tools] that frequently are not even present in the corporation developing the product," he continues. "For this reason, high-level engineering consulting is required, as the product development cycle cannot wait for internal knowledge to grow. It is frequently far more efficient to ask experts to address the engineering problem and build an automated analysis process when the issue is a reoccurring one. It's both time-to-market and solution quality that lead companies to cultivate outside partners."
Help applying simulation and optimization software to both the suspension and safety aspects of the VLC 4.0 is part of what drove Edison2 to work with Altair ProductDesign, Jaeger says. It's also behind an increasing number of engagements for Inertia Engineering + Design Inc., a product development and engineering services company "which is growing, on average, about 30% year-over-year, according to President Ray Minato.
IE+E's depth of knowledge around simulation and materials, coupled with its well codified development processes, makes it well positioned to provide soup-to-nuts development services, Minato says. Such services range from vetting product requirements all the way through concept design, testing and even oversight for manufacturing and production.
"It just makes sense to take a whole view of a situation," Minato explains. "When you're doing just a portion of it, there are inefficiencies, and things might get lost."
Making Relationships Work
Whether the engagement is a long-term outsourcing relationship or a pay-by-pound simulation project, IE+D adheres to number of common processes "and leverages a variety of collaboration tools to ensure the partnership is a success. In addition to employing SolidWorks product data management (PDM) as its backbone for storing and collaborating on all project-related design data, the company has honed quality processes and engineering workflows over the years that drive engineering efficiencies and keep all of the project stakeholders on the same page, Minato says.
New collaborative design capabilities, generic collaboration platforms, videoconferencing tools like Skype and WebEx, and even a new generation of social design tools are all helping facilitate the requisite levels of communication that ensure profitable outsourcing partnerships. This is especially helpful when the arrangement is conducted primarily off-site. Minato notes that the biggest challenge lies in managing expectations, which is where robust tools and formal communications processes come into play.
"The approach we take is to tell our clients the story of what we're doing "not just the technical details, but what we know, what we don't know, the pros and cons of ideas, the recommended solutions," he explains. Design reviews are provided on at least a weekly basis, and "at the end of the project, a client might have 40 to 50 PowerPoint files with all the learning in there so they can understand it.
"By including them in the process, they are involved in the decision-making, and we are seeking agreement at every step, always reiterating the risks," he explains. In addition to tools and open and regular communications, experts agree that it's critical to establish clear roles, including who is responsible for what, as well as to formalize contractual agreements to specify ownership of intellectual property. There should be clear levels of protection included, as well as remedies in case of a problem. It's also important for the client to keep skin in the game, so to speak, and not abdicate all engineering responsibilities to an outside party.
"You have to be smart and sophisticated about what you have to own and what you outsource," says IDC's Barkai. "It's striking that right balance between innovation and reuse, and what you keep in-house and what you outsource."

What's more virtuous, paying taxes or giving charity?
By RABBI SHMUELEY BOTEACH
09/20/2012 22:09
Those who want to pay more taxes are welcome to. It's a free country. But all of us need to push ourselves to give a lot more charity.
Photo: Thinkstock
Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod was manhandled across cyberspace for tweeting an attack against Republican donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson on the morning of September 11. Let's be charitable here and forgive Axelrod his breech of etiquette given that campaign has become so intense you can easily get carried away without meaning to.
Whatever the case, Axelrod was reacting to a report in
The Huffington Post
that if Mitt Romney won the election, people like the Adelsons could save billions in taxes. The report also said that a repeal of the estate tax could save billions more.
As the Adelsons are arguably the world's foremost supporters of Jewish causes and charities, this raises for a rabbi who is also a congressional candidate the question of what is a bigger mitzva, paying taxes or giving charity.
Surely even Axelrod, or other critics of the Adelsons, are not suggesting the couple has a problem parting with their money, as they regularly contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. Rather, the argument is that they should be paying higher taxes, and the payment of higher taxes on the part of the super-rich has been a constant campaign theme.
Mind you, even Barack Obama and Axelrod have their limits. They are not advocating confiscatory taxation as is, say, France's new president François Hollande, whose plans to tax those making more than a million euros per annum at a rate of 75 percent is already leading to an exodus of the rich. No, President Obama wants the Bush tax cuts to expire at the end of the year, leading to a federal tax rate of 39% for those in the highest bracket.
But since America came into being as a protest against unfair taxation, what rate is fair, even for the super-rich? For example, in my home state of New Jersey a millionaire will pay, at present, 35% of his income to the Federal government and then nearly 10% to the state, and New Jersey was changed by Democrat governor Jon Corzine to a net-income state, meaning you cannot deduct what you pay in Federal taxes from your state tax bill. That means about half your income goes to taxation, and that's before real estate tax (in New Jersey it's arguably the highest in America), sales tax and the myriad other taxes we each pay on a daily basis (if you live in the US, take a look at your monthly cellphone bill to see if you can even count how many taxes there are).
Still, we are told that America's taxes ought to be higher. In New Jersey it hasn't worked. People are leaving the state because they're tired of being ripped off.
So while we lost a congressional seat after the 2010 census, leading to a terribly bitter Democratic primary here in the Ninth District, Florida and Texas, which have no state income tax, added a bunch. When I meet people while campaigning, they tell me that taxes are the No. 1 issue for them.
Are American citizens really expected to feel guilty about not paying enough tax? When we see such incredible government waste, should we be eager to fork over more money to see it so much of it squandered?
Take Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus that seemed to have stimulated only greater American resentment at paying taxes. Nearly a trillion dollars was poured down a sinkhole but produced no jobs or greater economic performance. I even remember reading a story after the stimulus package passed in February 2008 of a public school that was sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend. The school responded that it didn't need the money. It had good facilities and new equipment. No matter. It was told it had to spend the stimulus funds.
I remember being deeply upset. I'm an Orthodox Jew. I have a right to educate my children in the Jewish tradition, just as Catholic, Islamic and Christian parents have the right to educate their children in their traditions. I send my kids to a Jewish day school. But not a dollar of my hard-earned tax dollars is allowed to pay a single expense at my children's yeshivot and Jewish day schools, even for completely secular subjects.
Religious parents throughout the US are having fewer children as they struggle to keep up with insanely high taxes and insanely high tuition. Yet here was a school having our tax dollars being shoved down its throat when it didn't want or need the money.
And please, hold the arguments that more money in education means a better education. In my hometown of Englewood the school board spends approximately $23,000 per pupil, which is about double what the Jewish day schools in the area charge per child. Yet the failure rate in the public schools is much higher than in the private schools.
I would much rather see philanthropists such as the Adelsons, or Democratic mega-donors like George Soros, have a lower, fairer tax bill and give more money to education, medical research, and private initiatives to support the families of our troops. Charities usually spend their funds a lot more carefully than government and I salute the efforts that president George W. Bush made to create greater synergy between government and faith-based initiatives.
Say what you want about Soros (whom Axelrod neglected to mention would likewise save a bundle on lower taxes), but he has donated hundreds of millions to Eastern European nations struggling to birth new democracies.
Likewise, the Adelsons' biggest critics never fail to acknowledge the hundreds of millions they have invested in Holocaust education, medical research, Jewish education, and support for a tiny fledgling democracy called Israel which just happens to be America's most stalwart ally in a region where America is increasingly despised and loathed.
Why Axelrod would feel it's such a mitzva to pay higher and higher taxes is beyond me. The goal is to make taxes fair, equitable, and effective in addressing the US's needs. And that means controlling spending, not just raising taxes.
And here in America we have an incredibly proud and quite frankly humbling history of massive charitable giving. A few names, I am sure, come quickly to your mind as they did to me. Andrew Carnegie, for example, founded an internationally respected institution of higher learning – Carnegie Mellon University. He set up at least four entities of giving that are still operating today – the Carnegie Corporation of New York; the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; The Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs. This was a man whose giving was so monumental and historic that a prehistoric dinosaur was actually named after him – Diplodocus carnegiei.
J.D. Rockefeller gave countless dollars to promote education at all levels and for all people. He provided major founding to Spelman College in Atlanta for African-American women in 1884. He created the Rockefeller Foundation in 1913, giving nearly $250 million to the foundation – truly a staggering amount of money for the time – which focused on public health, medical training and the arts. It helped to create the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. It also reinforced and expanded the Peking Union Medical College in China into an institution of note.
As this is not a history lesson I will only mention a few more captains of industry who have left their mark on history and gave selflessly to better the world for all; Simon Guggenheim, and more recently Bill and Melinda Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. This is just a short list of amazing giving and great men and women, but the list of people whose lives have been changed is beyond doubt countless.
Great philanthropy is what we should require of the super-rich rather than confiscatory taxation like the estate tax.
Those who want to pay more taxes are welcome to. It's a free country. But all of us need to push ourselves to give a lot more charity. Being forced to pay taxes does not make us more virtuous people. If it did, our founding fathers would have thanked George III for his coercion. But voluntarily giving more charity makes us more righteous, more noble, more caring and more generous.

With the vision of creating a world-class learning environment in Cambodia, the Jay Pritzker Academy (JPA) — in the northern city of Siem Reap — turned to the School of Architecture + Planning at MIT for advice. Founded by philanthropists Daniel and Karen Pritzker, JPA aims to educate talented and motivated students from low-income families while offering support to schools in the surrounding area.
Since opening in 2006, JPA has outgrown its current location. As part of the fall 2009 Service Learning class, Special Problems in Building Technology - Design for a Sustainable Future, 17 architecture and civil engineering students worked alongside professors Marilyne Andersen, John Ochsendorf and Meejin Yoon to design classroom structures to accommodate 400 students.
After researching the cultural and climatic needs, the students designed an "ideal" classroom and an overall master plan with systems for built-in water management and natural ventilation. To inform the design and put real faces on a seemingly distant place, students in the workshop were paired with students from JPA. Throughout the course of the fall semester they discovered what really mattered to their Cambodian pen pals.
"It was important for calibrating our designs to kid life and changing our perspective," says Julianna Sassaman (G Course 4).
In January 2010, the class traveled to Siem Reap with the support of the Public Service Center, the Jay Pritzker Academy, and the School of Architecture + Planning. For two and a half weeks, the students tackled three challenges: to work with the original campus' architects, LBL International, and further develop the design conceived during the fall semester; to devise strategies to increase the comfort and usability of the existing library; and to design and build a new outdoor kitchen for the nearby Ampil Peam school. The students split into three groups and often shifted from one to the next, learning about the local approach to the issues and offering their own expertise in turn.

South Shore Hopes to Build on Solid Start |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs |
It's week #2 in the New England DI league and already things are getting a little wild. South Shore, which finished the 2010 fall league season 0-6, defeated defending Northeast champs Mystic River 32-24. That game in itself has put clubs on notice that last year isn't this year, and you better be ready for anyone. "That was our first league match of the season, and also our first time having our best 15 playing together," said South Shore Head Coach Matt Pomella. "[Mystic is] a great club and always a solid team. I was very happy with how we played, but of course there are always things to fix and improve." Pomella wasn't happy with the number of penalties his team gave up. Down 17-5 at halftime Pomella urged his squad to stay on the right side of the ref, and they scored 27 points in the second period. South Shore was led by openside flanker Brandon Eustace, who "played some game-changing defense," enthused Pomella. "He really stopped Mystic River's momentum at the end of the first half." Up ahead are the Boston Irish Wolfhounds, coached by former South Shore coach David Gonzales. The 'Hounds were 30-19 winners over Amoskeag, but the New Hampshire-ites are still in a rebuilding phase and it's not clear what that says about BIW. Mystic is still expected to be strong, but Hartford remains an unknown quantity, New Haven's big loss can't be properly evaluated until they get deeper into the season, and South Shore and the Wolfhounds are also looking solid. It's anybody's league right now. |

Kyocera joins Android phone bandwagon
Kyocera Wireless is building a mobile phone powered by Android , a move that expands the clout of Google's newly open-source operating system.
Wind River Systems, an embedded computing specialist that's increased its staff to help manufacturers support Android, said Tuesday it's providing engineering services to help incorporate the software from the 34-member Open Handset Alliance that has collectively built Android so far.
Several other phone manufacturers--HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and LG Electronics--already are alliance members, but Kyocera's Android endorsement shows the technology is expanding beyond that initial group of supporters.

It is not a 100% copy of the Windows 7 features, but rather an improvement!… The Shake function shakes the window for you and the Peek function allows real access to the desktop instead of just showing it.

Let the Love Flow
Student drug testing.
According to President Bush, nothing says "I love you" like a demand for urine. Pretty kinky- sounding stuff for a State of the Union address, and more interesting than anything else he had to say that night.
Alas, the president was talking about student drug testing, which he wants to encourage with new federal funding. "The aim here is not to punish children," he explained, "but to send them this message: We love you, and we don't want to lose you."
Bush claimed "drug testing in our schools has proven to be an effective part" of "our aggressive community-based strategy to reduce demand for illegal drugs." But as the Drug Policy Alliance and the American Civil Liberties Union were quick to point out in a joint report, "the first large-scale national study on drug testing found no difference in rates of drug use between schools that have drug testing programs and those that do not."
The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld random screening of students who participate in sports and other competitive extracurricular activities. But schools still face challenges under state constitutions, which may provide stronger privacy protections. Last fall, for instance, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reinstated a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the Delaware Valley School District's random testing of students who have parking permits or who participate in extracurricular activities.
The push for student drug testing has encountered opposition in a more surprising place. According to a new pamphlet distributed by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, "Drug testing of kids is a complicated issue and is best done within the context of a doctor-patient-parent relationship" -- presumably because kids would rather feel love from their parents than from their coach or choir leader.
If a cup of urine seems like a strange symbol of affection, how about a lock of hair? Federal drug testing guidelines that are expected to take effect early next year will include hair testing, which can detect drug traces for up to three months, thereby nabbing even more people whose drug use has no impact on job performance. (See "Urine -- Or You're Out," November 2002.) The guidelines, which apply to 1.6 million federal workers and another 5 million or so employees in regulated industries, are widely emulated by private employers.
An official with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which oversees the guidelines, told the Associated Press the aim is "to increase the deterrent value of our program, which is basically the whole bottom line." Deterrence is the bottom line? Where's the love?

Has being in the "public" eye, being asked many serious questions, or dealing with difficult issues matured you as a person a bit sooner than you would have expected?What a nice, clean look into this wiz kid's abnormally normal life - thanks to those who made this available!I don't think so. Perhaps being on the set for so long with adults has made me grow up a bit faster but I've never really thought about it, because I'm still a kid deep down.

Montgomery's Eastdale Mall Shooting Stuns ShoppersTuesday afternoon shots were fired in the Eastdale Mall parking lot, in broad daylight. One man is in the hospital, two suspects are in custody, and shoppers are left stunned. Montgomery Police say a man was shot multiple times and two suspects attempted to flee the scene. Not long after, in a joint effort between police and mall security, the two suspects were placed under arrest. The mall manager and police say they don't believe the suspects were mall customers, but instead were there targeting a specific person. Regardless, mall customers say they still feel unsafe. "Me and my family, we like to come to the mall and shop a little bit, but I feel like it's unsafe if I can't bring my family out in public because shooting and stuff like that is going on," said mall customer, Larry Griffin. "There ain't no side really safe," said Sean Ralph, who was just in the area picking up his wife from work. The shooting is still under investigation. Police say the victim is in critical but stable condition. There is still no further information on what charges the two suspects will face.

Clever's Lucerna Latin Brief is slinky, sexy, and seductive. Available in dark blue and green, this brief offers exceptional pouch support and full coverage in the rear. The bold silver waistband pops on this brief and is comfortable for all day wear.
Note: Based on feedback from our customers, Clever sizes run small. You may want to order one size larger.
says Robert
Saturday, October 08, 2011 - True To Size
I think that aside from the Clever mesh brief, these are one of the few hip briefs that Clever makes. These are at the top of my price range for a pair of briefs but they're worth it. The fabric is super stretchy so it wraps around your goods and keeps them in one place. Also, they breath really well and the waistband is one of the coolest I've seen in awhile. The only drawback I can see with these is that I'm not a huge fan of blue - in my opinion, underwear manufacturers should always offer each of their styles in black - simple. Bottom line, worth the money.3 of 3 thought this was helpful. Was this helpful? Sign in to vote.

State environmental officials say there's a ways to go in improving the Region's air quality, but things are getting better, and are not as bad as some previous studies had suggested. "2005 National Air Toxics Assessment by the US EPA showed there was a lot of work to be done up in northwest Indiana,"said Indiana Department of Environmental Management Public Information Officer Dan Goldblatt, "so we took that information and we did a little more detailed study, from 2009 to 2011, and we put a lot more data points in and looked at some new modeling data that we had and found that things really are improving."
The IDEM study looked at data from Lake and Porter Counties. Goldblatt says most of the pollution in northwest Indiana is coming from mobile sources – cars and trucks – because of the interstates and the commerce that travels thru the Region. Vehicle emissions are being reduced, he said, and plants and factories implementing emission controls in the Region are making the air cleaner in this corner of the state. Findings from the Lakeshore Air Toxics study were presented to the NIRPC Environmental Committee this week.
