Tuesday, 27 August 2013 11:16 Published in National NewsU.S. officials said the growing intelligence pointed strongly toward Bashar Assad's government as the culprit — a claim Assad called "preposterous."
The U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggressive response since Syria's civil war began more than two years ago. As of Tuesday morning, officials said President Barack Obama had not yet decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, a move he said last year would cross a red line.
The Obama administration has already said there is "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack in Syria last week. Two administration officials said the U.S. could make public a more formal determination of chemical weapons use that pins the blame on Assad as early as Tuesday.
A third U.S. official said some of the evidence includes signals intelligence — information gathered from intercepted communications. The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed and witness accounts.
The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.
It's unlikely international military action would begin before Thursday. That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament where lawmakers are expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response to the chemical weapons attack.
International support was growing. In Paris, President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that France is "ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents." And the Arab League, a 22-member body dominated by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, also called for justice, laying blame for the attack on the Syrian government.
Officials said the international community was considering action that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping measures aimed at ousting the Syrian leader or strengthening rebel forces. The focus of the internal debate underscores the scant international appetite for a large-scale deployment of forces in Syria and the limited number of other options.
The most likely military response would involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military targets. The White House is also studying legal justifications for taking such steps without approval from the United Nations, where Russia is certain to block action at the Security Council.
Italy, meanwhile, is insisting that any strike should be authorized by the Security Council.
Hagel told BBC television on Tuesday that the Defense Department has "moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take."
The Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea within range of targets inside Syria. The U.S. also has warplanes in the region.
"We are ready to go," Hagel said.
Hagel said "to me it's clearer and clearer" that the Syrian government was responsible, but that the Obama administration was waiting for intelligence agencies to make that determination.
Hagel was interviewed during a visit to the Southeast Asian nation of Brunei. While there, Hagel spoke by phone about Syria with his counterparts from Britain and France. Hagel's press secretary, George Little, said, said Hagel "conveyed that the United States is committed to working with the international community to respond to the outrageous chemical attacks."
Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were also making the case for action to counterparts around the world. While the president has not spoken publicly about the deepening crisis this week, Kerry on Monday issued a blistering rebuke of the Assad regime's actions.
"By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable," he told reporters at the State Department Monday.
Assad, who has denied using chemical weapons, was defiant. In an interview published Tuesday on the website of the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, Assad accused the U.S. and other countries of "disdain and blatant disrespect of their own public opinion; there isn't a body in the world, let alone a superpower, that makes an accusation and then goes about collecting evidence to prove its point."
The Syrian leader warned that if the U.S. attacks Syria, it will face "what it has been confronted with in every war since Vietnam: failure."
The Obama administration was moving ahead even as a United Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last week's attack. The U.S. said Syria's delay in giving the inspectors access rendered the U.N. investigation meaningless and that the Obama administration had its own intelligence confirming chemical weapons use.
The U.N. team came under sniper fire Monday as it traveled to the site of the Aug. 21 attack and on Tuesday delayed a second inspection. A U.S. official said the U.N. team's delay would not affect the Obama administration's timeline for releasing its own intelligence assessments.
It's unlikely that the U.S. would launch a strike against Syria while the United Nations team is still in the country. The administration may also try to time any strike around Obama's travel schedule — he's due to hold meetings in Sweden and Russia next week — in order to avoid having the commander in chief abroad when the U.S. launches military action.
The president has ruled out putting American troops on the ground in Syria and officials say they are not considering setting up a unilateral no-fly zone.
On Capitol Hill, bipartisan support for a military response appeared to be building, with some key lawmakers calling for targeted strikes. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican had "preliminary communication" with White House officials about the situation in Syria and a potential American response.
However, some lawmakers from both parties were calling on the president to consult Congress before moving forward. Republican Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia is asking colleagues to sign a letter to the president urging him to reconvene Congress and seek approval for any military action.
More than 100,000 people have died in clashes between forces loyal to Assad and rebels trying to oust him from power over the past two and a half years. While Obama has repeatedly called for Assad to leave power, he has resisted calls for a robust U.S. intervention, and has largely limited American assistance to humanitarian aid. The president said last year that chemical weapons use would cross a "red line" and would likely change his calculus in deciding on a U.S. response.
Obama took little action after Assad used chemical weapons on a small scale earlier this year and risks signaling to countries like Iran that his administration does not follow through on its warnings.
Officials said it was likely the targets of any cruise-missile attacks would be tied to the regime's ability to launch chemical weapons attacks. Possible targets would include weapons arsenals, command and control centers, radar and communications facilities, and other military headquarters. Less likely was a strike on a chemical weapons site because of the risk of releasing toxic gases.
Military experts and U.S. officials said Monday that the precision strikes would probably come during the night and target key military sites.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013 11:13 Published in National NewsWalid al-Moallem spoke at a press conference in Damascus as condemnation of President Bashar Assad's grew over last week's purported attack with poison gas, which activists say killed hundreds of people. The Arab League threw its weight behind calls for punitive action, blaming the Syrian government for the attack and calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
The announcement by the 22-member body, which is dominated by Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia and Qatar, provides indirect Arab cover for any potential military attack by Western powers.
The United Nations, meanwhile, said that its team of chemical weapons experts in Syria has delayed a second trip to investigate the alleged attack near Damascus by one day for security reasons.
Al-Moallem, speaking at a press conference in Damascus, likened U.S. allegations that President Bashar Assad's regime was behind the attack to false American charges that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of that country.
"They have a history of lies — Iraq," he said. Al-Moallem spoke a day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said there was "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical attack likely launched by Assad's regime.
Kerry's comments and tough language Monday laid out the clearest argument yet for U.S. military action in Syria, which, if President Barack Obama decides to order it, would most likely involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military targets.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Tuesday that U.S. forces are now ready to act on any such order.
In an interview with BBC television during a visit to the southeast Asian nation of Brunei, he said the U.S. Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea positioned within range of targets inside Syria. U.S. warplanes are also in the region, he said.
Support for some sort of international military response is likely to grow if it is confirmed that Assad's regime was responsible for the Aug. 21 attack that activists say killed hundreds of people. The group Doctors Without Borders put the death toll at 355.
In an emergency meeting held Tuesday, the Arab League also called on members of the U.N. Security Council to overcome their differences and agree on "deterrent" measures against those who committed "this heinous crime." The League said it will convene a meeting at the ministerial level next week to follow up on the situation in Syria.
"The council holds the Syrian regime totally responsible for this heinous crime and calls for all involved in the despicable crime to be given a fair international trial like other war criminals," a statement issued by the League said.
Obama has yet to say how he will respond, but appeared to be moving ahead even as the U.N. team on the ground in Syria collected evidence from the attack.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament on Tuesday for an urgent discussion on a possible military response, as the army drew up contingency plans.
Cameron's office said that Britain is considering a "proportionate" response that would deter Assad from using chemical weapons in the future.
At the Syrian news conference, Al-Moallem called the U.S. accusations "categorically false."
"I challenge those who accuse our forces of using these weapons to come forward with the evidence," he said. Syria would fight back in case of a U.S. strike, he added.
"We have the means to defend ourselves and we will surprise everyone," he told reporters in Damascus. "We will defend ourselves using all means available. I don't want to say more than that," he added.
Al-Moallem also rejected accusations that Syria was destroying evidence of the alleged attack. He said he was personally unconvinced that there will be international military action, but that if there was Syria could handle it.
"The strike will come and go. We get mortars every day and we have learned to live with them," he said.
He also blamed the postponement of the U.N. team's planned visit to the eastern Ghouta suburb on disputes between rebel gunmen who could not agree on safety guarantees for the investigators.
The U.N confirmed the one-day delay, saying only it was for security reasons. A statement said the decision was made Tuesday in order to improve preparedness and safety, after unidentified snipers opened fire on the team's convoy on Monday on a similar trip to the region.
"The Secretary-General again urges all sides in the conflict to give safe passage and access to the team," the statement said.
The U.N. team traveled Monday to the western Damascus suburb Moadamiyeh, one of the areas affected by purported chemical attack, where they collected samples and testimony after a treacherous journey through government and rebel-held territory. Their convoy was hit by snipers but members of the team were unharmed.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he had instructed U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane in Damascus "to register a strong complaint" with both the Syrian government and opposition representatives for the convoy attack.
In Geneva, U.N. spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci told reporters that the inspection team might need longer than the planned 14 days to complete its work and its priority now is to determine what chemical weapons might have been used in the Aug. 21 attack. "This is the first priority," she said.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rams coach Jeff Fisher does not want the team's running backs to be judged solely on the preseason stats.
However, it doesn't mean he's not concerned about their production.
"That's an area where we need to improve on, but we haven't had opportunities in the games to really just line up," Fisher said after Monday's practice.
The Rams finish the preseason on Thursday against Baltimore.
The Rams are making a transition to a life without perennial 1,000-yard rusher Steven Jackson, who left via free agency to Atlanta.
They are averaging a little more than 3 yards a carry from their top four running backs, a year after the team ranked 19th in the league in yards per game with a 107.1 average.
Daryl Richardson, tabbed as the team's starter earlier this month, has 34 yards on nine carries in the first three games of the preseason.
"I feel pretty good about the running game," he said. "We've just got to execute and get better every day, all just be on the same page and eliminate penalties."
Richardson is coming off a rookie season in which he gained 475 yards on 98 carries in a backup role to Jackson.
Isaiah Pead's role might be more questionable. The second-year player out of Cincinnati carried the ball just 10 times in 2012 and is suspended for the 2013 season opener for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
He's had the most carries this preseason with 19, gaining 59 yards. He also has the only lost fumble by a running back.
"I've been trying to prove myself since I came here. Really, the only difference is that Steven's gone," Pead said. "I still come in, ready to work, trying to find a spot on the team whether it be special team or offense."
The Rams game at Denver last Saturday was another missed chance for the running backs to get work.
St. Louis planned to work on its running attack, only to change as the game unfolded.
Lineman Rodger Saffold, returning from a shoulder injury that limited his work leading up to the game, lasted the entire first half after it was anticipated he might only play a handful of snaps.
The Rams have also wanted to focus on their passing game and this year's top draft choice Tavon Austin and third-rounder Stedman Bailey at receiver. Fisher wants to enhance the downfield options for quarterback Sam Bradford.
He said if that part of the game develops, it can only serve to help his young running backs, that includes two second-year players and two rookies in the top four on the depth chart.
That has limited the chances for rookies Zac Stacy, a fifth-round choice from Vanderbilt, and Benny Cunningham, from Middle Tennessee State who signed as an undrafted free agent. But both should play a role in the upcoming season.
How much might be determined Thursday.
"I think you'll probably see some more," Fisher said. "''We'll get a chance to look at them this week. With Isaiah not being available to us in Week 1, we'll have to look at all the backs."
NOTES: TE Cory Harkey could miss up to a month with a fracture in his leg suffered Saturday at Denver. The second-year player got significant time during the preseason as top TE Lance Kendricks recovers from offseason knee surgery. ...The Rams announced 11 cuts as they close in on Tuesday's deadline to reduce the roster to the NFL-mandated 75 players. St. Louis released K/P Brett Baer, WR Demetrius Fields, WR Andrew Helmick, LS Jorgen Hus, QB Tim Jenkins, DT Al Lapuaho, LB Joseph Lebeau, TE Colby Prince, WR Raymond Radway and CB Robert Steeples.

Former West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw was notorious for his trinket chest — a practice that political opponents argued was used to increase his name recognition among voters. New state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is now correctly vowing to make those self-promoting trinkets a thing of the past.
Without mentioning McGraw by name, Morrisey appeared to be referring to his Democratic predecessor during a press conference Tuesday when he displayed six boxes of various trinkets — all bearing McGraw's name.
"You will not see my name on the pill box, the gun lock, on the pen, the pencil, the magnet, etc.," Morrisey told the Register-Herald in Beckley. "We're going to be dismantling the incumbency self-promotion tools. We're not going to allow the incumbent self-protection tools that dominate West Virginia politics. That's coming to an end."
While the altered policy applies only to him, the Republican attorney general who unseated McGraw last November is correctly urging other public officials to follow suit.
Morrisey still intends to issue press releases containing his name, and his office will still have business cards and envelopes also displaying his name. But that's to be expected. If this newspaper receives a press release or a letter from the attorney general's office, we would certainly expect to see his name on it. Pencils and pens will also still be needed in the attorney general's office. But they won't have the name "Morrisey" inscribed on them, according to the new attorney general.
Morrisey is also pledging to refrain from using his name or image on ads during an election year.
"The goal here is to end all these abuse practices in the past," he states.
Educational materials coming from the attorney general's office will not contain Morrisey's name. "We will still have materials but the materials will not have my name emblazoned on them," he adds. "The goal is to make the office less about me as a person and more about serving the public."
Morrisey also plans to end the practice of using a public vehicle in a parade, and plans to ask lawmakers in the new legislative session for an expansion in the ethics law to provide more transparency in public dealings.
He specifically wants a one-year probation to keep a state employee from performing compensated work or assuming work with an entity over which he has exercised authority in contracts and grants.
He's also sent President Barack Obama a letter asking him to keep West Virginia's economic interests in mind before settling on a new administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency.
Morrisey is to be applauded for these long overdue and good, common-sense steps. We join him in encouraging other elected officials to follow suit.

This is a true black cardstock with a very hardly noticeable weave texture on one side. It is a nice weight for sturdiness, for tags, or albums or cards. It has a slight sheen but not glossy. This is a great paper. I haven't had a chance to die cut with it yet but I don't forsee any problems with that.
I love this Paper. For black it's not over powering and far from being a dull black. It looks wonderful on my altered albums. For a great weight and color I would recommend this cardstock.
I was really excited to get this because I've been working on a 2012 Disney Scrapbook for over a year and was getting bored with the products I was using. It's great.

Commentary on low sex drive and a pharmaceutical-sponsored Discovery Channel documentary.
A new drug designed to boost sexual desire in women is controversial for some and eagerly awaited by others, but it's hit a potentially serious snag. The drug didn't boost women's desire any more than a placebo in two clinical trials. The Food and Drug Administration posted the clinical trial results on its website today in advance of a committee meeting on Friday, when a panel of experts will vote whether or not to recommend approval of the drug called flibanserin. (The FDA usually follows the recommendations of its expert panels.) Although there was a slight increase in the number of sexually satisfying events flibanserin users had each month, the FDA staff who reviewed the results said the so-called response rate isn't "particularly compelling."
In a statement posted on the FDA website, manufacturer Boehringer Ingelheim maintains that flibanserin really works, while acknowledging it's better at increasing a woman's "global desire" than "the intensity of [her] acute episodes of desire." That phrasing suggests the drug's effects are, well, rather subtle.
Trouble is, flibanserin has side effects that may outweigh its tepid benefits. About 15 percent of flibanserin users in the experimental trial stopped taking the drug because of bad reactions like dizziness, nausea, anxiety and insomnia, compared to 7 percent of the placebo users. Side effects were heightened in those who used the drug at the same time they were taking other medications, such as anti-fungal treatments, hormonal contraceptives, and antidepressants. Flibanserin itself was originally designed to be an antidepressant, but past clinical trials found that it didn't alleviate depression.
While flibanserin's fate rests in the hands of the FDA, Boehringer Ingelheim has kicked off a widespread education campaign to make us aware that having a low sex drive is a real medical condition that affects "approximately 1 in 10 women"—a statistic disputed as overinflated by some sexual health experts. The company has hired actress Lisa Rinna to be the poster girl for low libido and funded the "Sex, Brain, Body" website that has an "educational toolkit" that urges women to please talk to their doctors if they think they have a problem.
[Not in the Mood? You Could Have Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder]
Interestingly, the Discovery Channel has also hopped on the bandwagon to educate their viewers about low sexual desire disorder. This documentary aired on its stations last month and was funded by, yes, Boehringer Ingelheim. John Whyte, a physician who oversees Discovery's continuing medical education (CME) and patient education programs, told U.S. News that Discovery maintained full editorial control of the film, which has the feel of an infomerical but doesn't mention flibanserin. Whyte said that the drug manufacturer was allowed to review the film before it aired "as a courtesy" and that "they could suggest experts for us to interview." One of the experts featured prominently is Sheryl Kingsberg, a clinical psychologist at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine who is a paid consultant for Boehringer Ingelheim and is participating in their clinical trials of flibanserin. Another person interviewed is Phyllis Greenberger, head of the Society for Women's Health Research, which received funding from the drug manufacturer to produce the "Sex, Brain, Body" website.
If the Discovery program had mentioned flibanserin by name, Boehringer Ingelheim could have ended up in hot water with the FDA, which restricts marketing of drugs it hasn't approved. While the Discovery program doesn't identify the unapproved drug, it does show women who were somehow helped by their doctors—it doesn't say specifically how. One woman proclaimed, "I felt vital again. I felt energetic again. I had that drive." When asked if any of the women featured in the film were participants in the flibanserin clinical trials, Elizabeth Hillman, senior vice president of communications at Discovery responded, "we really don't know." She did admit, though, that this film made by Discovery's CME department isn't "a traditional Discovery Channel documentary" in terms of its journalistic rigor.

Outrage Mounts Over Death of Aaron Schwartz
A week after the suicide of internet activist and hacker Aaron Schwartz, over 25,000 people have signed a petition calling for the removal of US Attorney Carmen Ortiz, who prosecuted him for illegally downloading academic articles.
The 26-year-old Schwartz was facing 13 felony charges, with a possible sentence of 35 years in prison and a million dollar fine.
His family released a statement calling his death "the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach" and blamed both the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
KBOO's Zeke Harrington spoke with Dr Richard Stallman, President of the Free Software Foundation and visiting professor at MIT, about the implications of Aaron Schwartz's case.

"Idle No More" evening news story Friday, Dec. 28
Yesterday, KBOO news reported on the rapidly growing "Idle No More" movement for Indigenous rights, sovereignty and environmental justice in Canada.
What began in November as a series of teach-ins on impending legislation affecting First Nations people in Saskatchewan, has spread across Canada and into the United States.
The movement has caught fire largely through a uniquely Native form of the Flash Mob, based on the traditional round dance and accompanied by hand-drummers.
The first round-dance-flash-mob in Portland in support of the Canadian indigenous uprising was on Sunday, and another is posted on Facebook for this Monday at Lloyd's Center at 5:30 p.m.
Yesterday, Chelsea Vowel, a Metis [Metee'] blogger and teacher of Innuit youth in Montreal, spoke about the hunger strike by Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence, now in its 17th day.
Her fast, begun the day after a "National Day of Solidarity and Resurgence" on December 10, has helped spark actions in solidarity across Canada and around the world.
In Part 2 of his report, today Paul Roland has more on the story and the interview with Ms. Vowel.

"Idle No More" evening news story Part I
The "Idle No More" movement for Indigenous rights, sovereignty and environmental justice that has swept across Canada over the past month is taking root in Oregon and Washington as well.
Well over a hundred people participated in a flashmob at Portland's Pioneer Place Mall on Sunday, with many of them beating on traditional hand drums. Over a thousand were on hand for a similar event in Seattle on December 22.
The "Idle No More" movement began in November as a teach-in in Saskatoon in response to the introduction of the C-45 Omnibus "Jobs and Growth" Bill in Canada.
This 400-page bill, passed by the Canadian Senate on December 14, makes significant and sometimes far-reaching changes to a number of laws dealing with First Nations or indigenous peoples, environmental protection, labor, fisheries and waterways.
And there are over half a dozen other proposed laws that would affect First Nations people, lands and water.
Changes to the Indian Act, for example, lower the threshold of community consent in the process for taking lands out of Indian Reserve status.
This raises the very real possibility that the Federal Government will put pressure on First Nations bands and tribes to surrender lands containing minerals and other resources.
The response by First Nations people has been swift and dramatic. Over a hundred events have occurred across Canada, including rallies, flashmob round dances, teach-ins, and blockades of roads and railways. More are happening every day.
On December 11, Attawapiskat traditional chief Theresa Spence began a hunger strike to demand a meeting with Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a representative from the Queen of England to address the broken relationship with indigenous peoples and treaty rights.
Her hunger strike helped spark many of the flash mobs and other rallies. And the Idle No More movement has also spread to the United States.
Over 30 events have happened across the country, including Sunday's flash mob round dance in Portland.
More events are planned in the coming days and weeks. They can be found at "Idle No More's" website and Facebook page.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This is Book Two of the trilogy that began with All These Things I've Done set in a future New York in which alcohol is legal but chocolate is banned, except for medicinal uses. In this book, Anya, now 17, escapes from yet another stint at the Liberty Children's Facility and hides out in Chiapas, Mexico, learning the chocolate trade of her family. She stays at a ranch where cacao is raised and where charming 19-year-old Theo Marquez teaches her all about its growth and cultivation. And of course, the process is a metaphor for Anya's life. As Theo explains about cacao: "Attempts to genetically modify her beans have all been complete failures. She needs to struggle or the cacao produced will not be the richest. She needs to face certain death over and over again. ... But ... everything worth loving in this world is difficult." Anya works in the fields with Theo, and also learns to use a machete, a skill that will come in handy. When she returns to New York, she comes up with a plan to capitalize on her new knowledge, and help get herself and her family out of their legal problems. It may not be good for her love life, but it is chocolate that is in her blood. I have not read but I did read 3 reviews. Maybe another day. I wasn't so sure in the beginning of this book, but it redeemed itself by the end. I'm still eyerolling at Anya's insistence on trying to hold onto her highschool sweetheart, but watching the rise of a 17yo mob boss is undeniably enjoyable. I worry sometimes that I'm too enthusiastic about the books I review. There are some books that I skim over and am not that fond of - I often opt not to review them as I'd much prefer to spread the word about books that I believe give a good return on the time spent. I've been told that I should write a bit more about these books, if only to show that I am able to discern the good from the bad. But this time, yet again, I have to enthusiastically recommend the second book in the Balachine novels, Because It Is My Blood. The book is set in the future and it follows the story of Anya Balanchine and her family after her brother has escaped to Japan to avoid incarceration. Anya has survived her stint the NY juvenile facility but finds her future uncertain. She has been expelled from her old school before her senior year. Her best friend is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child. Her love and other ex-boyfriend has moved on despite his vows of eternal love. Anya faces these heartbreaking problems with humor and spirit. Her resilience and grit -those characteristics that had us cheering for her in the earlier novel All These Things I've Done - are back in spades and we find ourselves hoping that Anya beats the odds yet again. This time, she faces larger grown up problems - the loss of her guardian, the threat of assassination, the possible loss of whatever is left of her family. ISBN-10: 9780374380748 - Hardcover $14.00 Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) (September 18, 2012), 368 pages. Review copy courtesy of the publisher. Although it suffers from the dreaded middle book syndrome (exists in the trilogy to move the story toward conclusion in book 3) it handles the awkwardness better than most. I still love Anya and her story. She's an amazingly complex and unique character. I like that Zevin uses Anya's faith to show her growth during the story. I thought the mob storyline was a little muddled and didn't have the tension it did in book 1. Also, Leo. That's all I'm going to say about that. But this book did accomplish the goal that I am now dying for book 3. Jerk. no reviews | add a review

Unfortunately, her criminal record is making it hard for her to do that. No high school wants her with a gun possession charge on her rap sheet. Plus, all the people in her life have moved on: Natty has skipped two grades at Holy Trinity, Scarlet and Gable seem closer than ever, and even Win is in a new relationship.But when old friends return demanding that certain debts be paid, Anya is thrown right back into the criminal world that she had been determined to escape. It's a journey that will take her across the ocean and straight into the heart of the birthplace of chocolate where her resolve--and her heart--will be tested as never before.

Translation is a tricky business. Translators must deftly balance their duty to the original text with the need to create a translation that stands on its own. They have to honor the wishes of the author while trusting their own talents and knowledge for what works and what doesn't. "When you translate, it's an act of ventriloquism," says American-born Evan Fallenberg, an English-language writer and Hebrew-to-English translator who lives in Israel. "You're having to, in a strange way, occupy the voice of another writer." A translated novel is "going to be something else," says Jessica Cohen, who translated into English the critically acclaimed novel "To the End of the Land," by Israeli author David Grossman. "It's going to be its own thing." Grossman recognized, she said, "that what's most important in a translation is that it conveys the right emotions or experience or responses. He's not so much concerned about the literal translation of each word," unlike some of the younger writers with whom Cohen has worked. "They want to try and make it exactly like the Hebrew, but in English, and, you know, that's not possible." Fallenberg doesn't feel comfortable writing Hebrew fiction, despite his fluency in the language. "When I try to express myself in Hebrew, the syntax is still too close to English," Fallenberg says. Cohen and Fallenberg both stress the initiative and personal license that translators need to take when translating a work from Hebrew to English. "I think that my evolution as a translator [taught me that] I have to make it my own thing," Cohen says. "And often that means veering away from the original language…as long as you're preserving the intention and the general meaning." When translating Grossman, Cohen said, she tries to maintain the rhythm of the writing, the cadence of his sentences. "It's about hearing the Hebrew coming in one ear and having it come out the other in English somehow in the same way." Still, even translated Hebrew literature can be a window into a different culture and a view of life in the Jewish state: "To the End of the Land" delves into Israel's history and its turbulent and often-fractious present. To retain the uniquely Israeli feel of the novel, even when the characters aren't conversing in Hebrew, Cohen left some un-translated words sprinkled throughout "To the End of the Land." They include "finjan," an Arabic word for coffee pot commonly used in Israel. Cohen also resists resorting to footnotes to explain certain Israeli things that might be unclear to foreign readers. "You want to be immersed in the world," she says, and constantly jumping between the text and footnotes would interrupt the process of immersion, inhibiting the readers' absorption of Israeli culture. "One of the big problems with translation is you're moving something from one culture to another, but you need to preserve something of the original culture, or it's just going to sound like some story that took place in Poughkeepsie," Fallenberg says. "You have to signal to the reader all the time [that] I want this thing to read like it's been written well in English, but it's still got to preserve something of the exotic of the original." |
Fall 2012 Letters to the Editor08/30/2012 Jews in the Civil Rights Movement Dear Editor: Thank you for the excellent issue covering Jews in the civil rights struggle. The article evoked many memories for me. Following my discharge from the Army Air Force, I enrolled at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. As someone who grew up in a diverse community in Massachusetts, I had never encountered extreme, or even nominal, racism. D.C., in 1946 had segregated transportation, the drinking fountains and toilets in department stores were segregated, and even my university enrolled no African Americans. I was both shocked and ashamed by it. As a Jew who spent time in Germany in World War II, I often guarded German soldiers. That experience strengthened my conviction that I would oppose segregation wherever and whenever it occurred. Your article made me very proud of the Jews, many of them unknown, who courageously sacrificed their lives to oppose policies that degraded human beings. Sincerely, Samuel L. Simon South Nyack, NY Dear Editor: I enjoyed two articles in the summer magazine which are seemingly unrelated, but actually have a very interesting connection. The cover shows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holding a picture of Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney, the civil rights workers murdered in Mississippi in 1964. Elsewhere, there is a wonderful article about my friend, Harold "Hesch" Steinberg, entitled "A Lifelong Dedication to Judaism." Both Mickey Schwerner and Hesch Steinberg were members of Alpha Epsilon Pi at Michigan State University. Schwerner transferred to Cornell University after his freshman year in 1957, and his association with Michigan State was largely unknown until a few years ago. As a direct result of Hesch's efforts, Michigan State University has become aware of and embraced this connection, honoring Schwerner at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, and the local AEPi chapter hosted a Shabbat dinner and presented a plaque to Hillel in his memory. In May 2012, I had the honor to represent AEPi International and MSU Hillel at an extraordinary program in New York City, cosponsored by the Cornell University AEPi, Hillel and Black Alumni Association. The program called "The Impact and Legacy of the Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney Case," featured a panel composed of David Goodman, Ben Chaney and Stephen Schwerner, brothers of Andrew, James and Michael, respectively. These gentlemen, now in their 60s and 70s, shared some very unique perspectives on the Jewish role in the civil rights movement, the movie "Mississippi Burning," their brothers and the impact of the murders on their families. The warm hospitality of the hosts, Ellen Braitman of Bloomberg TV, and her husband, David Shapiro, provided an intimate setting and allowed a rare and unique view into history. Yours truly, Steve Bernstein Keego Harbor, Michigan Past International President, Alpha Epsilon Pi Member, Board of Directors, Michigan State University Hillel Dear Editor: My contribution in shining a light on the connection between our late Brother Michael Schwerner, Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and Michigan State University has been greatly overstated. Past Supreme Master Steve Bernstein also shared the credit. But there is a sidebar to the cover story (Summer 2012): Among those who resisted the inevitable march for the struggle for Civil Rights were the members of a quasi-governmental agency established by the State of Mississippi: the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission. In December 1961, more than 225 Jewish teenagers and their advisers attended the Cotton States BBYO convention in Biloxi, Miss. The Mississippi Sovereignty Commission sent spies to the convention hotel to determine if these young Jewish BBYO'ers (myself included) were intent on wreaking havoc on their way of life. Of course, we weren't and we were not harmed. But it is easy to speculate on the mindset of the hate-mongers who followed and, a few years later, brutally murdered Brother Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman. The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis pays tribute not only to Dr. King, but also to all of the brave men and woman...black and white, young and old, Jew and Gentile...who left their blood along the long road to freedom. Brothers Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman, along with many other Freedom Summer workers, are prominently featured in the museum's exhibits. Y'all come! Sincerely, Harold "Hesch" Steinberg Germantown, Tenn. Marvin Bacaner—An Aliyah Bet Seaman08/30/2012 The "Aliyah Bet" seamen operated ships that ferried Holocaust survivors from the displaced persons camps of Europe to then-Palestine shortly after World War II. Aliyah Bet was the name given to the operation run by the Haganah, the Jewish paramilitary organization that transported the refugees to the future state of Israel. Of the fewer than 250 volunteers from North America, most had served in the U.S. Merchant Marine or U.S. Navy during the war. The majority were Jewish and American. As many as 120 vessels—purchased and refurbished in secrecy—were used in the operation. In order to make their way to Palestine, they had to run the British blockade. It has been estimated that approximately half of them were intercepted, and the captured refugees were sent to internment camps on Cyprus, Germany and Palestine. Marvin "Bucky" Bacaner, a native of Chicago, served in the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II and was recruited to be an Aliyah Bet seaman. Bacanar was interviewed by writer Bruce H. Wolk for B'nai B'rith Magazine. BBM: Where did your love of the sea originate? Marvin Bacaner: I was initially trained to be a marine engineering officer at the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, on Long Island, New York. BBM: And your love of Israel? MB: I grew up in the Habonim movement (a youth Zionist movement), and, from the age of 10, I was a passionate Zionist. BBM: How did you first come to learn about the need for Aliyah Bet seamen? MB: After the war was over I was a professional seaman and I was still sailing. I had signed on as chief engineer on a ship heading to Antwerp, Belgium. One day while I was on shore leave. I saw a British captain who was wearing kilts. He wore a Star of David arm patch. I asked the officer, "Why do have a Star of David?" He said he was a member of the Jewish Brigade (a unit of the British army that included many Jews from Palestine). I told him I had been a Zionist all my life and never heard of the Jewish Brigade. He invited me to come back to the barracks with him, and a few of us sat around a table drinking coffee. … They were looking for volunteers to bring Jewish Holocaust survivors to embarkation ports in Italy and France and then take them through the British blockade to Palestine. When we got back to the States a letter was waiting for me at home from my Zionist youth leader. I called him, and he said, "Bucky, don't sign onto to a new ship. Come and talk to me first." The Jewish Agency had just bought two Canadian corvettes (anti-submarine ships that escorted convoys across the Atlantic to protect them from German submarines). The Haganah was originally smuggling Jews to Palestine in small, often dangerous boats using [paid] crews because big boats were difficult to obtain. BBM: As an Aliyah Bet marine engineer, what was your role? MB: We towed the [decommissioned Canadian] ships down from Canada to City Island for rehabilitation. We needed to overhaul all the machinery. I was in charge of supervising the re-conditioning, recruiting personnel and then training the ship's engineering crew. It was kept very secret. We couldn't talk about it. BBM: How did you go about recruiting seamen to work under you? MB: I went to Hashomer Hatzair (a socialist-Zionist youth movement) and Habonim, where volunteers were training for kibbutz life. I recruited the Hashomer Hatzair volunteers from their Hightstown, N.J., farm, and we also recruited from the Cream Ridge, N.J., Habonim camp. We assembled the crew for the two ships on City Island [in New York]. BBM: You talked of working in secret. How do you keep a ship secret? MB: As part of the refurbishing process, among other things, we cut off the guns and the torpedo tubes, so that the ships didn't look like [military vessels]." We were registered under Panamanian registry, and we got licenses from Panama as sailors. BBM: What was your journey like? MB: Both ships sailed together to Europe, and then my ship went to Gibraltar. One ship set sail for Sète, France, which was a fishing village where we rescued Jews who were in the displaced person camps. My ship went to Savona, Italy, where we loaded up Holocaust survivors. The name of my ship was the Josiah Wedgwood. We set sail for Palestine, but if we got caught, we carried no papers and our instructions were to disappear into the refugees we took on board. On June 27, 1946, the British Royal Navy intercepted the Josiah Wedgwood as it reached Haifa. (Wedgwood, for whom Wedgwood china is named, was an 18th century English potter and abolitionist.) Bacaner, his crewmates and 1,257 passengers were taken to an internment camp in Atlit, in what was then still Palestine. They would be slowly released into the population. After independence, the ship that Bacaner refurbished would become part of the Israeli Navy and was renamed the Hashomer ("The Watchmen"). In 1998, Bacaner was present at a 50th anniversary event for the Aliyah Bet/Machal volunteers. Following the ceremony, an elderly woman and her two daughters approached Bacaner and tearfully thanked him. "I remember you," said the older woman, a Holocaust survivor whom he had helped transport from the camps to Israel. He realized that everything he had gone through had been well worth the effort. |

The Outside Corner:
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN is reporting that MLB has suspended umpire Bob Davidson for one game due to his "sub-standard situation handling". I can't ever think of something like this happening, so it's a relatively landmark decision. Davidson will sit out tonight's game between the Twins and Brewers, and will be replaced with a callup from the minor leagues.
Ken Rosenthal recently released a video detailing how MLB goes about disciplining umpires, stating that suspensions were announced by the league, while fines were not. Rosenthal also indicates that umpires aren't disciplined for blown calls, just like players aren't disciplined for having a bad game. The discipline comes into play when they're unprofessional, such as when Davidson baited Phillies manager Charlie Manuel into a confrontation on Tuesday.
Even if this is just one suspension for one game for one umpire, it's a step in the right direction for MLB, which seems to...

Following a deep financial crisis, the Peninsula Hospital in Far Rockaway might be shutting down, leading to the potential loss of about 200 hospital beds and 1,000 jobs. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
Peninsula Hospital may be shutting its doors, which has raised serious concerns about medical services for the 100,000 people who live in the Rockaways.
"We don't have enough doctors as it is," said City Councilman James Sanders of Queens. "To close one of the major hospitals out here is tantamount to saying that there will be an acceptable amount of people who won't make it."
People familiar with the situation say the decision was put in motion at a board meeting Friday. Peninsula owes vendors roughly $13 million and continues to lose money.
"Cuts in Medicaid reduce the reimbursements that the hospitals get for the patients who have insurance to start with," said Dr. Wayne Dodakian of Peninsula Hospital. "But a bigger problem is patients come to our hospital without any insurance at all of any kind. They are self-paid. They don't have jobs. But we never turn them away. So consequently we pay for their treatment, essentially working for free."
Far Rockaway is also served by St. John's Episcopal Hospital. In 2006, a statewide hospital commission recommended that St. Johns and Peninsula merge to share costs.
That was never done.
"That was a fatal mistake. We should have paid heed to the Berger Commission," said Sanders.
In the meantime, residents said they worry about people who live here, including relatives who could soon have fewer options for medical care.
"I have a parent who lives in Far Rockaway who suffered a grave stroke, and we are here because it is the most geographically convenient hospital. And now we have to move here somewhere else," said one resident.
Queens residents have been through this before. Peninsula would be the fourth hospital in the borough to close since 2008.
A meeting was held last week in Albany to try and find resolution, but one could not be reached. That means the 200-bed facility could shut its doors within 90 days, putting 1,000 people out of work.
In a Tuesday statement, 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East said its union members were participating in ongoing discussions about the hospital's future, with the goal of saving as many services and jobs as possible.
The statement by 1199 SEIU concluded, "The possible loss or downscale of another acute care hospital would only worsen the existing healthcare crisis in Queens. This situation is further proof that safety net hospitals are struggling for survival as they continue to provide essential services to the community and save lives."

Ronda Rousey to coach on The Ultimate Fighter
The UFC's latest moneymaking superstar will be featured in a new role in the fall as a coach on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, which will film over the summer for a probable September debut. Rousey will be the first ever female head coach in the history of the show (adding to her lengthy list of "first evers"), and will be opposed as coach by the winner of April's fight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano, with the winner also fighting Rousey after the conclusion of the show. The show will also feature women contestants for the first time, as both male and female 135 pounders will be featured (though I assume they won't be fighting each other).

CHARLOTTE, NC- Crafty thieves are driving $65,000 Camaros off lots across the Charlotte area.
"They're not just sophisticated in their methods, but they're sophisticated in their taste as well," said Ray McKenney, owner of McKenney Chevrolet.
Not one, not two - but at least a dozen Camaros have been stolen from dealers in the Carolinas this year. The latest heist was at McKenney Chevrolet in Lowell.
The camaro was taken from the service garage. It happened sometime between 8p.m. when the dealership closed on Wednesday and 8a.m. when it opened on Thursday.
"The pattern is that they're coming to dealerships pretending to be a customer and they watching the dealership operations trying to determine where the keys are put," said McKenney.
Because of renovations on the lot, the alarm system was deactivated and there was no video surveillance that night.
"I think they're very brave and they're very educated. They understand when they come in what they're looking for and they go specifically for that," Sissy Parks, with Parks Chevrolet.
Three Camaros were stolen from Parks Chevrolet in Charlotte in January.
Police found one car burned and stripped of all parts on the side of the road in Aiken, South Carolina. That's leading police to think thieves are stealing the cars and selling the parts overseas.
"It makes you paranoid. You hate to put a car outside. You're very protective of all your keys. You're on your guard all the time and you don't trust people. When someone comes in to testdrive one... you're very leery," said Parks.
There were also Camaros stolen in Mooresville, Statesville, Rock Hill and Charleston.
Some dealerships have beefed up security and even moved the cars off the lots.
