Into the fray: Can Israel survive the Jews?
02/20/2014 22:16
The vindictive, borderline treasonous malevolence of the Left and the inept, borderline imbecilic impotence of the Right are emerging as the gravest threat to the sustainability of Jewish political independence

– Avraham Burg, "Say a big 'thank you' to Martin Schulz," Haaretz, February 14, 2014
Liberation from Zionism is not a dirty word.... what lies behind Zionism nowadays are interests related to water, real estate… and a huge army hungering to justify its existence… We have to get rid of Zionism…
– Yitzhak Laor, "Get rid of Zionism," Haaretz, June 3, 2011
We enthusiastically chose to become a colonial society… engaging in theft and finding justification for all these activities…
– Michael Ben-Yair , "The war's seventh day," Haaretz, March 3, 2002
For readers less familiar with the lesser- known protagonists in today's Israeli socio-political milieu:
Avraham Burg
was the speaker of Israel's parliament, and chairman of the Jewish Agency, son of Yosef Burg, iconic leader of the right-wing National Religious Party that evolved into what is now Bayit Yehudi, headed by Economy Minister Naftali Bennett. Avraham Burg's mother, Rifka Slonim, daughter of Jacob Joseph Slonim, Ashkenazi rabbi of Hebron, was a survivor of the 1929 Arab massacre of Jews in the city;
Yitzhak Laor
is a well-known Israeli poet, author, and journalist, and lectured in the department of literature, Tel Aviv University;
Michael Ben-Yair
was attorney-general under the governments of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres. In a 2013 Facebook post, Ben-Yair labeled construction of Jewish communities across the pre-1967 lines "the most evil and immoral act since the Second World War," deeming them worse than the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, the purges during Stalin's reign of terror and the gory genocide in Darfur.
Bad week for Jewish sovereignty:
The last week or so has been a very bad time for the sustainability of Jewish political independence. It has been even a worse time for intellectual integrity in Israeli politics and a really atrocious time for Jewish solidarity.
Somewhat paradoxically, things got off to a not so bad start last Wednesday, when European Parliament President Martin Schulz gave what was, overall, a rather positive address to a plenary Knesset session that was far more laudatory toward Israel than critical. He was even unequivocally emphatic that "the EU has no intention to boycott Israel."
But things went seriously awry when Schulz foolishly insinuated that Israel was depriving Palestinians of water, citing wildly inaccurate figures, which he admitted were uncorroborated, and which he had heard in a passing conversation with a Palestinian youth. This incident prompted an irate walkout of the Bayit Yehudi faction.
Of course the "water libel" against Israel is nothing new. Totally unfounded – indeed, outlandish – accusations that it is denying the Palestinians access to adequate water supplies have been leveled against it for years. But in the case of the furor over Schulz's remarks two points should be made.
Water: The new blood libel?
The first is that it was of course discourteous and injudicious to makes such serious allegations in such a public manner, when the most cursory inquiry, made discreetly to the proper authorities, would have quickly dispelled his misconceptions and avoided the unfortunate and unnecessary brouhaha. But then, perhaps even in the mind of the relatively amicable Schulz, Israel must be assumed guilty of something… In this regard PM Netanyahu's response was apt and accurate: "Schulz admitted that he didn't check if what he said was true, but he still blamed us. People accept any attack on Israel without checking it."
This brings me to the second point.
The very fact that such a senior foreign politician is still laboring under such grave misapprehensions is a devastating indictment of Israeli public diplomacy.
For in the case of water, all the facts are crystal clear, and overwhelmingly exonerate Israel of any allegations of discriminatory deprivation toward the Palestinians.
Accordingly, the very fact that anyone can still raise such absurd charges, however obliquely, without being subjected to withering ridicule, reflects an inexcusable failure of Israel's diplomatic apparatus to discharge its functions.
Grotesque and perverse:
Of course not all Israelis were put out by Schulz's ill-considered rashness. Avraham Burg (see above) for example thought he deserved a "big thank you." Burg, who achieved his public stature representing the Jewish state and the Zionist ideal, has devoted his recent efforts to annulling them – although he apparently has no qualms about continuing to receive generous pensions/benefits from its tainted coffers, which to the best of my knowledge he has yet to decline.
In a grotesquely perverse piece in Haaretz (where else?) he seizes on Schulz's misinformed allusion, to reenforce the worst anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish) connotation that could be attributed to it.
In his toxic tirade, in which Burg hurls highly disrespectful personal insults at Netanyahu, he declares "We ought to be grateful to President Schulz. Perhaps the disparity in access to natural resources isn't precisely what he was told in Ramallah… But let's get back to the principle.
The current Israeli government, headed by that man of "moral confusion" [Netanyahu], accepts the premise that the Jews deserve more."
Taking his father's name in vain:
I shall deal with the repudiation of the outrageous Judeophobic slur a little later.
It will suffice here to point out that, although Burg generally commends Schulz's implied censure of Israel, he feels that the attitude of the European Parliament president to the Jewish state was far too benign, stating "On most issues connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict we disagree. He is closer to the Israeli mainstream, and his positions resemble those of [the very dovish] Labor Party chairman Isaac Herzog."
Burg, who basically now advocates the abolition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people and its conversion into a multi-ethnic state-of-all-its citizens, goes on to take his strongly pro-Zionist father's name in vain: "If my father, one of the founders of the party that later became Bayit Yehudi, were alive to see his political descend[a]nts in the Knesset on Wednesday I have no doubt… that he would… turn over in his grave."
Sadly, I am old enough to be able to remember the ideo-political predilections of Burg senior, who retired from politics in 1986, after heading the National Religious Party for almost 10 years. I would give heavy odds that what is making his father, who escaped Nazi Germany at the last moment, "turn in his grave" is not the conduct of Bayit Heyudi, but his son's descent into the depths of political prostitution (I make no apologies for the term), and the latter's betrayal of all the Zionist ideals he cherished.
Shame on Susan:
But Burg junior was not the only one to use the issue of the "water libel," raised (inadvertently or otherwise) by Schulz's address, and provide grist for the mills of the myriad Judeophobes, eager to pounce on any opportunity, however flimsy, to denigrate the Jewish state, and to undermine its security and existence.
Earlier this week, Susan Hattis Rolef published a column in The Jerusalem Post titled "Water in the West Bank and the blockade on Gaza." The piece was so misleading and misinformed that it is difficult to keep criticism of it within the confines of collegial courtesy.
There are so many inaccuracies, distortions and outright errors in her article that it would require more than an entire column to deal with them exhaustively. I will thus confine myself to the most glaring.
Hattis Rolef contends, "There are no official figures regarding the average water consumption of the Jewish inhabitants in the territories," hinting that this alleged dearth is indicative of some dark conspiracy, and prejudicially states: "but it is assumed to be much higher (some say even double) the figure for Israelis within the Green Line."
She is hopelessly wrong on all counts and seems to indicate that she did not invest a modicum of effort in researching the topic before publishing her diatribe.
A brief telephone call to Israel Water Authority would have provided her with all the information (and more) that she could have wished for. The authority is more than eager to oblige, as virtually all the data are highly supportive of Israel's positions.
Susan (cont.):
For example, she would have discovered that the roughly 380,000 "Jewish inhabitants in the territories" (excluding greater Jerusalem) consume on average considerably less than the roughly 8 million "Israelis within the Green Line." While the former consume a total of 50 million cubic meters of fresh water annually (and approximately 70 m.cu.m. including degraded waste water for orchard irrigation), the latter consume almost 1,200 m.cu.m. of freshwater (and 1,900 m.cu.m. including other waste/brackish water).
Thus, the average per capita fresh water consumption of "Jewish inhabitants in the territories" is just over 130 cu.m. annually, and of total water, under 185 cu.m., while for "Israelis within the Green Line" the corresponding figures are 150 cu.m. and almost 240 cu.m., respectively.
Hattis Rolef claims that, although there "is formal cooperation between the water authorities of Israel and the Palestinian Authority… the balance of power is like that between a mule and its rider."
Ah, won't the anti-Israel Judeophobes love that imagery! In fact, if she had bothered to read the Oslo II Accords (Article 40), which deals with Water and Sewage, she would discover that there is a Joint Water Committee that is charged with administering all water-sewage related matters. According to Article 40, "The JWC shall be comprised of an equal number of representatives from each side" and "All decisions of the JWC shall be reached by consensus…" This clearly gives the Palestinians veto power over the decision-making process, which is the major reason for the delays in construction of purification plants for waste water, which continues to flow and pollute Israeli downstream sources.
So much for the mule-rider analogy! She complains, "Israel actively destroys Palestinian wells and reservoirs because they are allegedly 'illegal,'" adding snidely, "which is what much of the international community says about… what Israel has done in the West Bank since 1967, and… 'he who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones...'" So is Hattis Rolef seriously suggesting that Israel permit unregulated and unrestricted extraction from the aquifer and allow depletion to reach the catastrophic proportions now existing in Gaza, following Israel relinquishing control there? How precisely would that improve the lot of the Palestinians water-wise?
Vindictive malevolence vs inept impotence:
There is so much more to respond with, like for instance that Israel conveys more water from inside the pre-1967 lines into Judea-Samaria (67 m.cu.m.) than the entire consumption of the much maligned "settlers" (50 m.cu.m.), thus more than compensating the Palestinians for the entire Jewish water usage across the Green Line; or like, according to the Oslo Accords it is the PA, not Israel, that is responsible for supplying the Palestinian consumer with water, and virtually all stoppages/ shortages are due to unpaid bills, faulty infrastructure and theft on the part of the Palestinians; or that differentials in consumption reflect differences in demand and lifestyles rather than differences in supply and discriminatory deprivation.
But there is only so much one can cram into a single opinion column. I am forced to forgo mention of the other perfidious "pearls-of-wisdom" from other leading left-wing activists and representatives, on other topical issues.
However, the fact that the water issue continues to remains a topic that can still be used to denigrate Israel, without the malefactor being scorned and shamed, bears lamentable testimony to the vindictive, borderline treasonous malevolence of the Left, which makes cynical use of it to further its political credo; and to the inept, borderline imbecilic, impotence of the Right, which has failed to totally discredit this practice.
This lethal combination is emerging as, arguably, the gravest threat to the sustainability of Jewish political independence.

Medical Errors Draw Fines for 7 CA Hospitals
A patient admitted for bladder stone removal surgery died after a Modesto physician failed to call a Code Blue and refused suggestions from three colleagues that he should re-intubate when the patient stopped breathing, Asked later why he delayed taking action, he told state investigators, "I zoned out."
A second hospitalized patient was sexually assaulted by an Orange County physician after hospital staff failed to report the doctor's behavior when they witnessed his first assault on a female patient under anesthesia.
And a San Francisco patient died during a procedure when the anesthesiologist failed to monitor respiratory status after administering the drug Versed.
These three immediate jeopardy findings are among 10 announced Wednesday by California Department of Public Health, which fined three facilities $50,000, three facilities $75,000 and four facilities $100,000 for causing patient harm. Three of the hospitals received two penalties each.
Debby Rogers, deputy director for the California Department of Public Health, said that since the law requiring such hospital penalties took effect in 2007, her department has assessed 264 immediate jeopardy penalties totaling $10.4 million against 142 hospitals, and has collected $8.2 million.
A regulation under review would increase the fine amounts by $25,000 each, so the penalty for the first incident would be $75,000, the second $100,000 and the third or subsequent immediate jeopardy event $125,000. Incidents occurring prior to 2009 brought fines of $25,000 each.
Also in the works are regulations that would enable the department to administer penalties for other problematic incidents in hospital care that did not result in the potential for or actual serious harm or death to a patient.
"We want California hospitals to be successful in their efforts to reduce hospital acquired infections , decrease mediation errors, eliminate surgical errors and prevent other adverse events," she said during a news briefing.
She added that UCSF now ties with Southwest Healthcare System in Riverside, CA for having eight penalties, more than other hospitals in the state.

The NCAA is a joke.
I've started too many columns this way, lately, but that truth is so apparent, it's impossible to discuss college athletics without acknowledging it.
It's a corrupted cesspool in which, too often, the dreams of student athletes are used to lure in the almighty dollar, then dragged to the bottom and drowned when no longer useful.
If you weren't paying close attention to the Rangers' thrilling win over the Coyotes on Monday, you may not have even noticed that Chris Kreider was hurt.
You won't be able to overlook that fact tonight, though, as the winger won't be on the ice to play the Flyers in what is certainly the Blueshirts' most important game of the season.
About a year and a half ago, a good friend of mine disappeared.
I didn't know him personally - and he certainly didn't know me - but soon after he burst onto the scene in 2009, he came to occupy a certain place in my professional life. His various overzealous bloviations providing me fodder for countless column inches and hours of monologue.
But as I said, sometime over the last two years, he disappeared. And I've missed him since.
The NCAA is a joke. It's a corrupt, two-faced, charade of an organization. Their thirst for profit is equaled only by their ruthless disregard for the "student-athletes" they claim to put first.
And as such, the condemnation they receive so regularly is, more often than not, well deserved.
The picks are in! After hours and days of research and analysis, of flip-flopping, and flip-flip-flopping, the bracket is locked.
It's chalk-heavy, as my brackets tends to be, but it's not without gambles. Take a look, let me know what you think, share your picks on our Facebook page, and check out some reasoning behind why I made the selections I did.
If the Lion King taught us anything, it's that you shouldn't trust anyone named Scar.
It also taught us, though, that you have to put the past behind you. And right about now, the rest of the world would do well to remember the teachings of Timon. They would do well to remember that it is not 2002 – that it is 2014, and the Michael Vick they're so eager to see sign with the Jets is a decade and a prison stint removed from the one who was the world's most electrifying player.

Trading Temple Run for fun
Recently the GRE underwent a complete renovation. The revised test allows for an extra hour to complete the test and incorporates additional verbal and math sections and an on-screen calculator. A practice test is being offered at ETSU on Monday, Oct. 2 from 5-9 p.m. in Rogers-Stout Hall. sxc.hu
For college students who are fans of the game Temple Run but who can better relate to campus life than to the Indiana Jones-like premise of Temple Run, a new mobile game called Campus Beer Run 3D is worth checking out.
Developed by Wutango Media based in Seattle, the game is "the world's first temple run for belligerent college party-goers," according to the company's website.
The theme takes advantage of popular ideas of what a typical college party is like.
You won't find textbooks, lab coats or professors in this game. Instead, you will find countless kegs and plenty of drunken characters.
The game plays on stereotypes of college party-goers by featuring an assortment of characters such as cheerleaders, frat boys, sorority girls and nerds.
The object of the game is to collect booze while evading the cops who, like the evil monkeys in Temple Run, pursue the player's character.
Like many mobile games, Campus Beer Run 3D allows players to race against friends and random players.
It is unique though, because it also features a multi-player element that encourages competition between universities.
This feature provides tournaments so a gamer can compete against players from rival colleges.
The game will be available for iOS mobile devices, such as the iPhone, as well as for most Android devices.
The company needs help, though, to fully develop their vision for this game and to add final touches on the game's graphics. To raise funds, they are using Kickstarter, a funding platform often used by artists and creators of all kinds, to raise money for their projects.
Those interested can back the project with a $1 minimum pledge. Several pledge levels are available, and each offers increasing incentives.
For example, anyone who pledges $5 or more will become part of the game's testing team and will be recognized in the game credits once the game is released.
More information, photos and a video featuring Allen Wu, Wutango Media CEO, are available online.

The 1st route put up on the wall. Bring your mantle skills. The rock is really good for the area. This route cannot be underplayed in the role it served in the "Iron County Climbing Crew a.k.a white harlem's" ethics in the mid to late 90's. It made us all climb a little harder and meet the rock on its terms, even if all it had to offer was choss bombs.
The middle route on the wall.
How exactly do you get to this route? I'm new to Cedar and am looking for a few decent Sport Climbs
There is (used to be) a "10 mile" marker on the right side of the road heaading where you park. It is on the right side of the road a bit down canyon from the the tunnel, a traverse route over the river. Fallout and the adventure climb are fun sport routes and the cetation and crustation wall are pretty good. West of town try the iron mine and Pocket/sprocket rocks. Give gottta have nuts a try when you are feeling tradish.
Where are those routes at? I didn't see them on the forum list.

Essence Multi Colour Blush:20 Fashionista: Review & Swatches
I picked this baby on my Europe visit. I picked up very few products actually as I was supposed to be there for atleast 2-3 years but somehow I returned in a month. And in all this confusion couldn't plan my shopping.
Essence Pure Teint Matt Bronzing Powder Review (shade 05: Light Bronze)
I am not fond of term Matte when comes to makeup. I always prefer Dewey. Well all this has nothing to do with the bronzing powder that I am going to review today, I bought it simply coz I don't have any matt bronzer with me and also the claims which this makes put it apart from the rest. I have shade 05: Light Bronze with me.
This bronzer is from Essence pure skin range and also available in this range are compact powder, mousse makeup & coverstick.
I don't remember the price exactly. But I picked it up for less than the normal price in a sale.
Essence XXXL shine Lip Gloss Review & Swatches (Shade15:True Love)
Essence is an German brand. I purchased this lipgloss in Geneva.
What it Claims:
Ultra glossy, moisturizing & non-sticky.
Available Shades:
- Pure Chick 01
- Rising Star 04
- Super Girl 05
- Big Nightout 07
- Glamour to go 08
- Party Connection 09
- Rock on 13
- Bubble Babe 14
- True Love 11
- Pure Beauty
- Light Candy
- Nude Kiss
- Toffee Forever
- Wanted 16
I have shade 11 True Love with me which was the only shade available in that particular shop for sale .
You can visit Essence cosmetics website here for more information on the brand.
I got it for 2 euros for 5ml
It says lip gloss contains carmine & no other ingredient mentioned.
My Experience with Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss in True Love:
Packaging: Comes in a transparent glass tube with a silver cap on which there's a sticker which states shade no. & name. The silver cap contains applicator which is very long & flat and makes easier to apply gloss.
Texture: The texture is smooth & creamy which is a bit on runny side but this doesn't bleed once you apply and gets settled well on lips. The gloss does contain shimmer particles which are very minute & subtle that are barely visible or felt. The formula is quiet moisturising & I never felt the need of a chapstick. Continue reading

Now why should you read this post? It may be much ado about nothing. Aha, maybe that's why you should read it; in case it isn't.
Successful upload. As you know (those who may follow my blog) Ebony and the Auntie of the Starlight, a Caribbean Cinderella story was uploaded to Amazon. Then on Sunday, August 10, the Observer newspaper highlighted it in Bookends. I was very pleased.
Disappointment: I saw the PDF of Things I Like. I did not like my painting of the illustrations at all. At all! They looked lovely when I painted them, even when I put them on my blog, but stand alone in a book. No sir! I saw every miss-stroke of the brush, every distortion of an image. The idea was to produce the PDF and get a corporate sponsor for copies for basic schools. Well, I'd be embarrassed to own these images. My designer did her best. I was so overwhelmed (not to tears, or anything like that), just so astonished, that all I could say to her, is 'stop there while I think about this'.
There are lessons to be learnt here.
1. A Level Art does not make you an artist or illustrator.
2. Four hours of painting lessons year before last, does not get you back to A Level standard, which does not . . . anyway.
3. There is a reason why they have illustrators for children's books.
4. You may never be able to turn yourself into a painter or illustrator for your own books. Accept that!
So what do I do now?
1. Clearly I should ask my designer if she can just colour the pictures with Photoshop or something.
2. Give up the idea of the book and feel 'pale and wan' (check the literature we read in school for explanation of the term) about any such endeavour.
3. Perhaps ask about new illustrations for the text. What a frantic thought!
Well, clearly, I'll go with #1 first. The fact that I have not done it yet speaks volumes although I cannot hear what is being said.
This post would seem to be all about my angst; much ado about nothing, indeed. However I think it speaks to some very important concerns, none of them new, but the ability to self-publish underscores them.
The most important is how do you get the money to self-publish what you want to publish, or in my case, republish? People have been asking me why I don't seek crowdfunding. To show how up-to-date I am on the concept, I was about to write 'cloud funding' (naturally, things are stored in a cloud, so clearly, . . . ) when a little voice said, "Look it up!" Eh! Eh! But is a whole world out there of crowdfunding. So many sites. I would of course be shy/too proud/can't wrap my head around the concept of people I don't know supporting me, and on and on into further angst.
I think one of my biggest challenges right now is do I want to continue to try to break these new barriers, of this new digital world, and I really hate this being in the spotlight of doing things, doing them differently (no doubt, that is why I write a blog, eh!), or do I want to retreat into the dignity of the 'pure writer' who must always be published by a well know publisher to be considered to be a serious, pure, mature writer? To do or not to do; to be or not to be.
This is a case of pure confusion. I'm going to put it down and come back to it another time. Any ideas would be welcome, guys!
Next post will be about more mature matters.

Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn't go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.

Missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take

Get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work but before.
He got there, he developed a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..

The other day I happened to rediscover this interview from three years ago with Gary Kurtz, who produced Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Among the interesting tidbits:
IGNFF: From your personal experience, how would you compare the George you worked with on American Graffiti to the George you worked with towards the end of The Empire Strikes Back?
KURTZ: It was quite different, actually. He was very different. I think the most unfortunate thing that happened was the fact that Indiana Jones came along, and Raiders of the Lost Ark had come out in between. George and I had many, many discussions about that, but it boiled down to the fact that he became convinced that all the audience was interested in was the roller-coaster ride, and so the story and the script didn't matter anymore.
Now Raiders is not a bad film, but the script actually was much better than the finished film. There were a lot more nuances in the character, and there was less action. It would've been a better picture if that script had been made. But, as it is, it's an interesting and entertaining film — it's just that this idea that somehow the energy doesn't have to be put into getting really good story elements together. One of the arguments that I had with George about Empire was the fact that he felt in the end, he said, we could have made just as much money if the film hadn't been quite so good, and you hadn't spent so much time. And I said, "But it was worth it!"
[ snip ]
IGNFF: Well what were the original outlines for the prequels? Since they can be compared and contrasted now that the first one's out there, and the second one's soon to be out there. Were there major differences from what you saw, from the original outlines of prequel ideas?
KURTZ: Well a lot of the prequel ideas were very, very vague. It's really difficult to say. I can't remember much about that at all, except dealing with the Clone Wars and the formation of the Jedi Knights in the first place — that was supposed to be one of the keys of Episode I, was going to be how the Jedi Knights came to be. But all of those notes were abandoned completely. One of the reasons Jedi came out the way it did was because the story outline of how Jedi was going to be seemed to get tossed out, and one of the reasons I was really unhappy was the fact that all of the carefully constructed story structure of characters and things that we did in Empire was going to carry over into Jedi. The resolution of that film was going to be quite bittersweet, with Han Solo being killed, and the princess having to take over as queen of what remained of her people, leaving everybody else. In effect, Luke was left on his own. None of that happened, of course.
IGNFF: So it would have been less of a fairy-tale ending?
KURTZ: Much, much less. It would have been quite sad, and poignant and upbeat at the same time, because they would have won a battle. But the idea of another attack on another Death Star wasn't there at all … it was a rehash of Star Wars, with better visual effects. And there were no Ewoks … it was just entirely different. It was much more adult and straightforward, the story. This idea that the roller-coaster ride was all the audience was interested in, and the story doesn't have to be very adult or interesting, seemed to come up because of what happened with Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Indiana Jones films — and the fact that that seemed to make a lot of money and it didn't matter whether there was a really good story or not — that wasn't what this kind of film was about. We had serious differences about a lot of that.
IGNFF: Well it's ironic to me … I was talking to somebody who has a lot of good friends at ILM, especially in the conceptual department, and he said that George has basically a new catch phrase in the development process. His new catch phrase is "It's good enough," and they say he uses it all the time now. When you're talking about that idea of only going to a certain depth because the audience only wants the quick and easy impact, and then move along…. That somehow the audience isn't observant, so why should we be overly detailed… it's just fascinating to compare that with the observations you made.
FWIW, I am on record as saying that the Empire / Raiders duo of 1980-1981 represent Lucas's peak as a filmmaker, but I am also on record as saying that the Indiana Jones sequels, produced in 1984 and 1989, were cartoonish disappointments. And of course, Lucas's decline really began with Return of the Jedi in 1983, but nobody realized it at the time. For me, it wasn't until I saw the "special editions" in 1997 that I realized just how different the films were; I went back and saw Episode IV again a couple times for the pure nostalgia value, and I went back and saw Episode V again because it was a beautifully realized bit of world creation, but after seeing Episode VI, I had no urge to see it again whatsoever.
Anyway, after skimming that interview, I flipped through the last pages of Alan Arnold's Once Upon a Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of The Empire Strikes Back. This book is as "official" as they come: it was copyrighted by Lucasfilm Ltd. and published by Del Rey in August or September 1980, and on pp. 247-248, there is this interesting tidbit from a transcript of an interview between Arnold and Lucas conducted on October 29, 1979:
AA: Tell me more about the overall concept of the Star Wars saga.
GL: There are essentially nine films in a series of three trilogies. The first trilogy is about the young Ben Kenobi and the early life of Luke's father when Luke was a little boy. This trilogy takes place some twenty years before the second trilogy which includes Star Wars and Empire. About a year or two passes between each story of the trilogy and about twenty years pass between the trilogies. The entire saga spans about fifty-five years.
AA: How much is written?
GL: I have story treatments on all nine. I also have voluminous notes, histories, and other material I've developed for various purposes. Some of it will be used, some not. Originally, when I wrote Star Wars, it developed into an epic on the scale of War and Peace, so big I couldn't possibly make it into a movie. So I cut it in half, but it was still too big, so I cut each half into three parts. I then had material for six movies. After the success of Star Wars I added another trilogy but stopped there, primarily because reality took over. After all, it takes three years to prepare and make a Star Wars picture. How many years are left? So I'm still left with three trilogies of nine films. At two hours each, that's about eighteen hours of film!
AA: What will the next chapter be?
GL: The next chapter is called "Revenge of the Jedi." It's the end of this particular trilogy, the conclusion of the conflict begun in Star Wars between Luke and Darth Vader. It resolves that situation once and for all. I won't say who survives and who doesn't, but if we are ever able to link together all three you'd find the story progresses in a very logical fashion.
This 26-year-old interview would seem to corroborate Lucas's claim that the series was originally meant to be a six-part story, though I don't know whether it would corroborate his assertion or insinuation at Cannes this month that it was the media who started the rumour that he was going to make nine movies in total.
But his claim that the prequels would take place while Luke was a boy — and in contact with his father Anakin, it seems — sure scotches any claim to the effect that the current prequels represent the story that Lucas had in mind back then!
So, just as my friend Betty refuses to recognize Voyager and Enterprise as canonical Star Trek series, I refuse to recognize the prequels as canonical Star Wars movies, and I refuse to recognize them no matter how many prequel elements Lucas shoehorns into current and future "special editions" of the original trilogy.

Vindico says video publishers may be playing hide-and-seek with your ads.
We've no doubt that you've heard of the saying, 'you get what you pay for.' But unfortunately, when it comes to your video ad placements, that old adage may not always hold true. Many video publishers, under enormous pressure to deliver impressions to their advertisers and margin to their investors, have devised a host of clever methods for artificially boosting their ad viewership numbers. Some of these methods are deceptive and can make your video ads be practically invisible and near enough impossible to be viewed by anyone.
For instance, increasingly publishers have been buying, (knowingly or unwittingly) inventory from impression mills. These are third party sites designed to provide additional "audience" to sellers in need, where they loop video ads in 1x1 players that appear as a mere speck on the screen, not viewable by anyone except, perhaps, those with superhuman vision. Another method is to run video ads hidden behind banner ads. Again, though these ads might technically run, no one can actually see them. A third type of "viewer-less" video ad might be those positioned to the extreme right or absolute bottom of an abnormally wide or long web page. Only the determined few who take the time to scroll these impossibly far distances would have the chance of viewing the ad at all. In most cases these ads begin at page load and are not initiated by a user clicking on a play button.
And if you think these types of tactics just aren't that prevalent in the industry, think again. Recent studies show that as high as 20 to 30 percent of all video impressions fall into this "invisible" ad category. Which means your video ad campaign metrics could be starting out 20 to 30 percent in the hole from the get-go.
So how do you guard against these dishonest and unfair tactics to be assured your video ads not only run, but are within view and can actually be seen? Adtricity from Vindico provides the answer.
Adtricity brings together the concepts of video ad verification and viewability into one solution — guaranteeing the overall quality of video ads. Adtricity not only shows how and where ads get seen, but whether they're actually viewable, thus providing a new standard in quality for the video ad industry.
Agencies and advertisers measure the viewability and verification of their campaigns to ensure top return on investment. The tool provides the ability to adjust campaigns on a continuing basis to maximize performance from every campaign.
Recently, ad agency VivaKi, adopted Adtricity across all brands. VivaKi is part of the Publicis Group which has agencies in 108 markets around the world.

Two days away from National Signing Day, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights need a new head coach. At least it's not one day away from National Signing Day! While offensive line coach Kyle Flood has been named the interim boss, a program on the up-and-up over the past decade still needs to explore its options.
Flood has reportedly been interviewed, and FIU coach Mario Cristobal, Temple coach Steve Addazio, and Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty have also been named candidates by the Star-Ledger's Tom Luicci. Luicci also reports one other mystery candidate, along with a Sunday interview of Cristobal.
But according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, Addazio won't be leaving Philly for New Jersey. That would bring us down to four candidates, if all reports are accurate.
Departed Rutgers coach Greg Schiano turned a pile of Jersey rubble into a Rutgers program capable of winning bowl games in bunches. At FIU, Cristobal won a bowl game without even a pile of rubble. He'd be the most exciting name Rutgers could bring on.

Bigg Boss 7: Celebrities Without Make Up in the House
By Rati Agrawal, Team iDiva | posted Oct 20th 2013 at 6:00AM
Make up alters a woman's face and boosts her confidence to a whole new level. Who would know this better than Bollywood actresses who often pile kilos of garish make up on their faces, just in case they have to face the camera. Well, if you ever wonder what these stars look like without their precious make up, you just have to have a peek into the Bigg Boss 7 house where the ladies don't have make up artists to touch up their make up every hour or so, and look their original (read ordinary) selves. Check out the women in Bigg Boss house with and without make up. (We just gave you the perfect start to your weekend, didn't we?)

How to decrease the LED Front-End cost by 15% every year?
In parallel to implementing the semiconductor practice in Front-End manufacturing, these are the substrates that are shaping the innovation of LED Front-End industry!
The overall Front-End manufacturing trends for LED manufacturing are following the same path: decrease manufacturing costs, increase yield to improve binning, extract more light per mm² and per watt injected into the die… So all Front-End equipment makers are now developing or introducing new equipment (including MOCVD reactors) in order to be involved in the new investment wave that will happen from 2014 to 2017 as the new Yole Développement report "LED Front-End manufacturing trends" is highlighting.
What is extremely surprising is that LED manufacturing still uses methods and practices that would be considered outdated in most semiconductor industries (e.g.: manual wafer handling, with operators moving wafers with tweezers in (not so) clean rooms…). However, emergence of LED "giants" (such as Cree, Osram, Lumileds, Samsung or LG) have facilitated and speed up adoption of manufacturing paradigms from the IC industry to reduce overall manufacturing cost and increase products quality. The new mottos are moving from batch processing to single wafer, use automation, cluster tools, full cassette to cassette (…), deploy statistical process control, defect management (…), work on reduction of SKU and enterprise Management Systems (EMS)… All brand new topics not seen before in the LED industry.
As a matter of fact, gap will widen between Tier-1s and other players, pushing forward for industry consolidation. This is the major trend for the next 2 to 3 years, and it will happen!
Within major revolutions of the past 2 years, LED substrate is one of the key topic having impacted the LED Front-End industry, through increased demand for larger size Sapphire wafers with big players (such as LG, Sharp or Osram) moving to 6" wafers and Taiwanese players moving to 4" wafers.
In parallel to these evolution to larger wafer size, the demand for PSS wafers now has become mainstream in the industry (87% share as of Q1-2014) even if some questionings remain concerning key patent holders strategy and possible IP infringement.
In addition, the development of GaN-on-Si and GaN-on-GaN LEDs are now in mass production with companies such as Soraa for GaN or Toshiba for Si. However, market penetration of these alternative substrates will be tributary to future improvements in terms of performance and cost. Otherwise, GaN-on-Si and GaN-on-GaN LEDs will not be able to fully compete with Sapphire-based LEDs. But these innovative devices are now available on the market (and System Plus Consulting has made reverse engineering of them already: more here).
And the impact of the Sapphire industry evolution on the LED industry is likely to become bigger in the future with the recent partnership between GTAT and Apple (Q4-2013) to set up a large Sapphire manufacturing plant ($1 billion). The plant having a rough capacity of x2 the current qualified Sapphire capacity, it could totally modify the structure and the evolution of the Sapphire and the LED industries in the next years.
Flip chip is also contributing to the enhancement of the LED performances and cost adaptation. As flip chip technology gradually matures, LED manufacturers are actively developing this technology as it gives several advantages: larger light-emitting area and highest luminosity, better heat dissipation, adjustable dimensions and no wire-bonding.
Whereas such design was mostly in hand of some big LED manufacturers (such as Cree or Lumileds), in 2013, Taiwanese manufacturers have also started to develop it (Epistar, FOREPI and Genesis Photonics mostly).
In 2014, flip chip technology should also make its way into the middle power LED market. Lumileds started the hostility and announced in Q3-2013 its plans to introduce flip-chip technology into the middle power LED market as such type of device has drawn most attention from the market in 2013 with general lighting applications. Indeed, middle power LEDs (following the 2011 / 2012 overcapacity) have become mainstream in interior lighting applications.
The report presents a detailed analysis of LED Front-End manufacturing process (per process step) with additional highlights on LED chip design, key constituents of LED chip and main light extraction techniques.

WEST, Texas--The school board in West, Texas did an about-face Tuesday night.
The district says it will suspend plans to knock down the town's original high school building that was built in 1923.
Earlier this month, we told you about a group of citizens furious that the school board had recently voted to demolish the historic building that was badly damaged in the 2013 fertilizer plant explosion.
Recent estimates to renovate the structure ran as high as $4 million, although earlier estimates were half that figure.
A committee will make a decision on how the old high school building will be used. The building will temporarily be boarded up during the interim.

Today's Word of the Day means...
naive na·ive or na·ïve (nä-ēv') or na·if or na·ïf (nä-ēf')
Lacking worldliness and sophistication.
Simple and credulous as a child.
Not previously subjected to experiments.
Not having previously taken or received a particular drug.
Untutored in the perversities of some particular program or system; one who still tries to do things in an intuitive way, rather than the right way (in really good designs these coincide, but most designs aren't "really good" in the appropriate sense). This trait is completely unrelated to general maturity or competence or even competence at any other specific program. It is a sad commentary on the primitive state of computing that the natural opposite of this term is often claimed to be "experienced user" but is really more like "cynical user".
