With national and international crises making headlines, the New York City mayoral race has all but receded to the back pages. But with the first of three scheduled debates between the two remaining major party candidates less than a week away, voters will finally be able to concentrate on substantive issues and policy rather than the circus we were treated to over the summer.
New Yorkers who voted in the September 10 primaries rejected two scandal-ridden candidates, one running for mayor, the other for comptroller, while turning thumbs down on a mayoral candidate whose lifestyle many of us find morally objectionable.
The rejection, however, was far from unanimous; tens of thousands of voters had no problem casting their ballots for the candidates in question. Indeed, the very fact that their candidacies were not just tolerated but even celebrated by some opinion makers reflects the collective state to which we've sunk. The primaries may have ended a month ago but their aftermath still resonates, and what that says about us as a city and a culture will be relevant long after the new mayor is sworn in.
The liberal elites have sullied our society to such an extent that the moral depredations of Messrs Weiner and Spitzer and the publicly flaunted lifestyle of Ms. Quinn not only failed to disqualify them as candidates but possibly enhanced their positions. Rather than challenge the audacity of Weiner and Spitzer re-emerging from the political wreckage of their own making, many media outlets and politicians touted them as public servants worthy of our understanding and forgiveness.
Meanwhile, gay rights activists, ever bent on furthering their agenda, castigated any opponents of Quinn as intolerant prigs. Indeed, just how far we've fallen as a society really comes into focus when one considers that during his first campaign for mayor in 1977, Ed Koch, not wishing to alienate traditionally-minded voters, appeared everywhere with former Miss America Bess Myerson at his side in order to dispel rumors he was gay. Today, candidates in cities like New York feel little or no need to reassure traditional voters, and such Koch-style subterfuge on their part would be considered an outrage.
Apparently, few red lines of decency remain to be crossed in today's media-driven culture. And this erosion of what once were widely held doctrines of civility and morality in a country built on Judeo-Christian values has infiltrated our own Orthodox Jewish precincts.
Jewish leaders have, over the years, become increasingly involved in city politics – a perfectly understandable and indeed necessary element in improving and protecting our Jewish way of life. However, some Jewish leaders and organizations have stepped over the fragile boundary between Jewish political gains and possible breaches of Jewish law by endorsing candidates whose views and lifestyles are anathema to Jewish law and tradition.
That approach threatens our ability to differentiate between what is acceptable in the secular culture we live in and what is acceptable within the parameters of our own Jewish world. We should not countenance changing opinions to go along with the changing times.
This is an increasingly difficult task considering the barrage of information hurled at us daily via round-the-clock news, advertisements, social media, and just living in a culture where very little that is condemned by Jewish law or norms is considered wrong by our secular peers. What was generally understood to be improper and offensive thirty, twenty, or even ten years ago is now not just tolerated but held up as the standard.
And it is even more difficult for those of us educating the next generation. Language and behavior that in the past would have elicited wide eyes and full-throated disavowal now barely garner a blink. Years ago, many lessons of right and wrong were shared by Torah-observant Jews and the wider community in which they lived. Today, parents and teachers are challenged with instructing children on the need to differentiate between what the secular culture says is right or wrong and what the Torah has to say on these matters.
Most of us cannot separate ourselves from the world we live and work in, but we can maintain our own boundaries through the Torah values we impart to our children and with which we conduct our own lives. And we can use those values to guide us through the morass of cultural red lines that society has repeatedly crossed – and, more important, to recognize there were red lines to begin with.

Not all readers of the Jewish Press will agree that it is desirable to make sure our politicians have clean underwear.
That being said, in the last election cycle we saw Anthony Weiner's polling numbers take a nose dive after his several episodes were revealed.
So the premise of the article is faulty. Many Orthodox Jews do not fault a candidate with a treif lifesyle that is not hurting anyone, but draw the line when the candidate appears to hurt his wife and lies to the electorate.

Bruins forward Daniel Paille has officially been deemed OK to play. His return is just in time for the second round series against the Montreal Canadiens and he's excited to be back.
"I feel unbelievable right now and I want to continue that throughout this week."
Paille suffered a concussion during a match-off against the Buffalo Sabres over two weeks ago. Sabres' Jake McCabe hit Paille in front of the bench and Paille had a hard time getting to his feet to leave the ice. Seeing as it was his third injury of the year, coaching and training staff are being extra careful. Paille thought he could have returned sooner, but agreed that it shouldn't be rushed:
"Because it's my third injury this year, there's a lot more precautions to kind of rule out. I believe I could've midway through the last series. I didn't feel like I had any symptoms/injuries, but there were a lot of precautions and I had to continue with that process. I heard Claude say I felt great after the first day, and I did — there was no question about that. I guess we didn't want to rush this one."
Whether or not he'll be added to the lineup once the series begins is likely, but no definite plans have been released.

A Music Video That's Also an Online Store
Byon April 16, 2014
Look no further than heavily-sponsored Coachella music festival to see just how intertwined the worlds of music and style have become. The latest result of the symbiotic overlap between the two industries comes to us via a collaboration between the fashion-forward retailer SSENSE and the magazine System who have released the music video for songstress Sky Ferreira's latest single "I Blame Myself" on the SSENSE website today (not to be confused with the behind-the-scenes video, above).
Ferreira clearly has some serious musical chops, but she has also earned plenty of street cred from the fashion world (Marc Jacobs used her as a model for his spring/summer 2014 show). So it would make sense that her video is heavy on style. But, unlike the olden days when you'd just watch a video like this and longingly pine for a chance to look like your favorite musician, SSENSE and System have helped connect the dots by offering up the clothing featured in the video. While this particular video has a heavy emphasis on women's clothing (for obvious reasons), it's just the first in a string of music-meets-commerce segments they're planning to unveil over the coming weeks. However, two menswear pieces (jackets by Givenchy and Christopher Kane) are featured in "I Blame Myself" and are ready to be placed in your virtual shopping bag.
Check out, and shop, if you like, Ferreira's video, here.

According to mayor Bloomberg 3/4 of NRA members are in favor of reasonable gun control regulations. I am curios what those 3/4 of the members have to say. I for one think that is not an accurate percentage but lets find out. What is your take on this?

Bloomberg is ridiculous and a long time antigun advocate. I am NRA and proud of it too! Bloomberg, along with the other anti-gunners can go to Hades as far as I am concerned!
Q: Do you support people just walking into gunstores and buying automatic grenade launchers with no background check?
A: No
Bloomberg: See!!!!! Most gun owners support restrictions!!!!!!!
Here's my proposal...
Felons don't get guns, unless its some stupid ass unconstitutional felony, like peeing in public or using cocaine 10 years ago.
It is ILLEGAL to deploy the military on US soil under ANY circumstance, under penalty of death.
Lawful, background passing citizens hereby get better weapons than any police force.
America has fought wars across the globe, because we kept our firearms while others let dictators take theirs...
I have been a life member of NRA since 1957.
I support neutering of Bloomberg and all of his ilk!
They pull these statistics out if there ass. Thats like me say 53% of your gray hair is not gray....wtf. Why would people join an irginization to defend they're rights and then say we dont need em..for the bumper sticker
100% of Virginia Attorneys General have advised Bloomberg that if he sends his goons into Virginia trying to illegally buy guns again, he will be charged with a felony, and extradited to Virginia for trial.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
Bloomberg is now speaking for 3/4 of the NRA members????
I must be in the other 1/4......
F&ck Bloomberg!!!! I'm in the 1/4!!!
Well I'm in the NRA. And I'm not happy that some jack a$$ is trying to speak for me.

Enlightenment E17 Has Secret Release Plans
Published on 06 September 2012 07:07 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
1 Comment
More information concerning the plans to finally release the Enlightenment E17 window manager will be revealed soon at LinuxCon Europe.
Michael Blumenkrantz revealed on Wednesday that he has received acceptance to give a LinuxCon EU presentation on "the road to and release of E17."
E17 has been under development going back to 2000 and is a complete rewrite of E16, which
reached version 1.0 in 2009
. E17 hasn't been quick to be released. In October of 2010, the
Enlightenment Foundation Libraries went into beta
EFL 1.0 came in January of 2011
, and last November is when
E17 was made to be Wayland-compatible
It was this July when we first heard
plans were being made to actually release E17
and that there was a release manager. Now we hear from Michael Blumenkrantz that more information on releasing E17 will be discussed at LinuxCon Europe in early November from Prague.
Some sort of actual release date might already be known per Blumenkrantz's message. "In order to not ruin the impact of this presentation and the publicity building up to it, I am hereby requesting that anyone who has any idea (you'll know if this applies to you) as to when we may release E17 to please not reveal anything about the release date; this will be a fun feature of my presentation, and it would be a shame if I had to cut it because someone leaked the information early."
E17 could be released at the LinuxCon event itself, in December when it will have been twelve years since development began on E17, or a variety of other commemorative dates, but we'll have to wait and see. The new message can be found on

I am looking at all possibilities. My gg-grandfather married a Sarah Penfold (born about 1802) at Horsham Sussex on November 19 1825.
Sarah Muggaridge appears on a number of sites and she had a daughter Sarah christened in 1802.
As Emily is mentioned in your message, is she the younger sister of Sarah?

Rosé wine
Pink or rosé wine is the wine that has been very little time with the skins that gives color to red wine. Therefore, in some cases rose wine is called "one-night wine", which is traditionally the time that the juice could be macerating with the skin.
Other types of pink wine, such as claret, or many sparkling rosé, which are made by mixing red and white wine, and strictly speaking could be considered a separate class and not a real rosé. A rosé wine is made with the intention to do so from the very beginning.
As rosé wine has a short maceration period, so is the number of flavors to be found, so the wine is essentially subtle and delicate. Therefore it is recommended the pairing with mild dishes like rice and pasta. There are those who are also made with a short fermentation getting sparkling wine.
Rosé wine, like white wine is usually drunken cold .There are a few rosé wines renowned in the market, such as Lambrusco, the vinho de Gata, Cigales rosé, some interesting rosé in Australia and the United States. In France there are famous made in oak barrels rosé.

"Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't." — Unknown
I'm writing this post from my hotel room in San Diego, California where I've been for the past few days for an awesome training and networking event with my business mentor, Lisa Sasevich. I'm a lifelong learner and strongly believe in surrounding yourself with people who have already "made it" to where you want to be in life!
It was such an honor to share the stage with my mentor and peers to tell my authentic story of not only what I've been able to accomplish in my business, but why teaching women how to live lives of happiness, success and freedom is so important to me.

Set amidst the tatters of post-Katrina Gulf Coast Mississippi, Waveland is a brilliantly observed portrait of our times from one of the most incisive novelists at work today.
Partially retired architect Vaughn Williams does what he can to remain "viable." Battling the doldrums of midlife, he teaches an occasional class, reads the newspapers, scours the Internet, and thinks obsessively about his late father. When his ex-wife seeks refuge from her hotheaded boyfriend, Vaughn and his girlfriend, Greta, agree to let her move in, perhaps a little too cavalierly. Add in Vaughan's annoyingly successful younger brother, who carries a torch for Vaughn's ex-wife, and lingering suspicions about Greta's involvement in her husband's murder and the result is an emotionally resonant tale of mortality, love, regret, and redemption that only Barthelme could unwind.
"Frederick Barthelme is a master." —The New York Times
"Sublime. . . . Barthelme seems to argue, we might still find a separate peace from the terrors of the wider world." —Esquire
"Sophisticated, and wry. . . . A triumph of meaning—and writing. . . . A treasure of a book." —Buffalo News
"It's impossible to conceive of any writer doing what he does any better than he does it." —Margaret Atwood, The New York Times Book Review
"As clever and precise as a French farce; except that instead of doors opening sharply on one side and slamming shut on the other, these dangle indecisively ajar." —The Boston Globe
"Barthelme's latest is about loss…but it is also a recognition that starting over, however involuntarily, forces people out of habit and into building something that might hold up better this time." —Maud Newton, NPR
"Barthelme's eye and ear unerringly capture the moment he lives in." —The Los Angeles Times
"Well-written and entertaining." —St. Louis Tribune
"Illustrates the beauty that sympathetic, precise examination of people and places, stripped of any grandiosity or overcomplication, can convey." —Philadelphia City Paper

Do you have an underwear fetish? If so, you share something hot and kinky with Dimitri Genco who was photographed by Marco Ovando enjoying his favorites.
There are so many hot guys on Garçon Model's Instagram, from fans to their models, that we just had to do a round up of our favorite posts from their feed.Read More
Guys who prefer briefs more than other underwear styles usually do so because of the cut. Briefs give your legs space to move and your skin room to breath.
Remember when reading was entertainment? Come along on the first of our Fairy Tales. We reveal the true story the Brothers Grimm didn't want you to know.
Who needs bottled gas in tubes? These neon looks have the eye-catching color of every good window sign ever. Don't be afraid to let a little color show.
Garçon Model conducted an online survey with 1,000 men to find out what this year's hottest trends are going to be in men's underwear. See the results here!Read More
These pics showcase the Garçon Model Miami Collection. The collection includes some of the brand's best looks, most of which use bright neon contrasts.Read More
Sure a white pair of undies is always appropriate, and we are only half kidding when we say your white pairs should be permanently benched after labor day.
The ever-popular use of color contrast uses basic colors for lining and stitching, or complimentary hues in fabrics to help colors pop and be eye-catching.
Established in 2012 in Vancouver, Canada, Garcon Model set a mission to create premium styles to bring sharpness and style to men's underwear. The brand strives to freshen up the old classics and bring luxury, masculinity and versatility at the same time. Garcon Model is a strong believer in the saying that a man should dress for success, or as they like to call it, "Undress for Success."
Garcon Model is created and designed to satisfy every man's need in areas including style and wearability. The brand believes its classic designs will make men feel "sharp" underneath their clothing as well as provide them with a sense of style not usually carried down to the underwear. With emphasis on a sense of classic masculinity with a hint of luxury, Garcon Model offers classic cuts such as boxers and briefs, as well trendy cuts like trunks.
"Our theme originated from an image of refinement that we felt was missing in today's underwear," said Mehdi Mebarki, the brand's founder and creative designer. "We visualized men wearing the finest suits and we wanted the luxury to trickle down to the underwear; something classic yet sharp and something that all men would feel confident in."
While the Garcon Model look is a classy one, the brand places just as much emphasis on their use of fabrics. The brand uses nylon and elastane for an ultra-soft, form fitting and easy to care for blend. All of Garcon Model's designer underwear is carefully reviewed and though after. The fabric is also moisture wicking, making it a great choice for a man with an active lifestyle.

Each week's show also offers two musical numbers from someone at, or aspiring to, the top of the charts.

When I first stumbled onto trainhornsunlimited!, I was kind of surprised that you could actually buy this sort of thing from the Web. I mean, sure, you can pretty much buy whatever you want from the Internet if you're willing to look long enough for whatever it might be that you're desiring but train horns? Who would have ever thought that there exists a community of individuals and hobbyists large enough to warrant an entire company that is able to provide them with the goods and services that they need so that they might enjoy the fruits of their hobbies.
Of course, this did little to stop me from exploring it myself! I like this sort of esoteric pursuit – that's my hobby itself; the exploration of hobbies that are odd, weird and little heard of. I like to explore the psychology of these sorts of pursuits. I want to know what it's like to be interested in these hobbies and why other people are so willing to devote not only their time, which we have so little of, but also (at times) thousands upon thousands of dollars in the pursuit of this enjoyment. I see to understand their joy through my own.
My first couple of kits were easily enough built and I began to suspect that the pursuit of this hobby was not exactly about the building of the kits but of the horns themselves. I have to admit that they are fine examples of excellent craftsmanship. Everything from the valves to the horns themselves, these could be considered works of art! I did, however, learn what it might be that attracts people so this pursuit, to the purchase of these expensive horns; it's their inherent, fundamental power. They are rather explosive when they are made to blast their sound through an air compressor!

Ultimate proof that cats are smart !!! more smart cats«
Cat intelligence is actually a pretty interesting topic in that the majority of studies on the subject basically have to end in the conclusion "we just don't know" because cats are among the most uncooperative research subjects of all time. We know a great deal of cat sight, having used cats as the archetype for a vision-focused vertebrate/mammal, but we still know very little about what really goes on inside the cat mind.
Cats can be incredibly, frighteningly intelligent. When it benefits them. You try to get them to do something solely for your own amusement, and you'll get squat. Most dogs are motivated by praise, but cats are generally only motivated by personal gain of some sort.

Janiform Herm with Young Male and Female Fauns
Roman, 1st century BC - 1st century AD
The term 'janiform' derives from the Roman divinity Janus, the god of doors and openings, who is usually depicted with two faces back to back. Here, the smiling faces are diminutive forms of the rustic god Pan, one male (Paniskos), one female (Paniske). The Paniskos head has two goat-horns in his hair and wears a goat-skin. The hooves are visible at his shoulders. The long-haired Paniske wears a wreath of ivy and berries. The eyes of both faces would probably have been inlaid with precious stones and silver, traces of which remain.

Bush and Castro Face Off
The recent exchange of threats between the Cuban and U.S. governments may seem like more of the same stand-off rhetoric that has characterized relations between the two since the Cuban revolution 45 years ago. But as a Cuban political transition approaches and aggressive new U.S. policies call for regime change and tighter economic sanctions, a dangerous confrontation may be brewing. This month restrictions to tighten the U.S. embargo against Cuba go into effect. The measures will cost U.S. taxpayers some $59 million dollars — and that's just for starters.
The new policies are the result of a 500-page report from the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba. The Commission was charged with developing plans "to bring an end to the regime of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and to prepare to assist a post-Castro Cuba," in the words of Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roger Noriega.
The commission recommendations include increased support for Cuban dissidents, further restrictions on travel and remittances to the island, stepped-up propaganda efforts and measures to exert more international pressure on the island.
Castro Warns of "Total War"
On June 21, Fidel Castro addressed 200,000 Cubans in Havana calling the measures "cruel" and warning that U.S. intervention would lead to "total war" and "massive exodus." In an unusual reference to his own death, the 78-year old leader emphasized that the rules of transferring power to his brother Raul were firmly established. The Commission report explicitly rejects the prospect of Raul Castro taking power.
The Bush administration has dedicated an inordinate amount of money and effort to tighten the 44-year embargo and "hasten the transition" in Cuba. In addition to the millions of dollars stipulated in the report, enforcement of the travel ban and the ban on investment and aid to Cuba have been stepped up, diverting millions from the Homeland Security budget. According to the Washington Office on Latin America, the Office of Foreign Assets Control has assigned four agents work to trace the financing webs of Osama Bin Laden while more than twenty work on enforcing the Cuban embargo.
So how did a little island with a population of 11 million and a GDP of $2,000 per capita come to be viewed as a top priority for regime change in the post-Cold War era?
Few would argue that the Cuban government is not responsible for human rights violations. Journalists and international human rights organizations have consistently denounced the Castro government for the lack of freedom of expression and the kangaroo court trials that led to the imprisonment of dissidents and summary execution of hijackers last year could hardly be seen as a paradigm of judicial process. But from there to identify the island as a major target for regime change in a world rife with problems, from torture in Iraq to genocide in Sudan, is a giant leap.
A Million Cubans Cry "Hail Cesar"
The offensive has already galvanized support for Fidel Castro in Cuba. On May 14 more than a million Cubans marched pass the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana to protest the measures, crying "Hail, Cesar" as a rebuke to U.S. imperialism. As President Bush knows well, a unifying enemy is the best friend of a faltering politician.
Even prominent members of the opposition, including Osvaldo Paya of Project Varela, have rejected the plan. They recognize that to receive direct support from the U.S. government is tantamount to a kiss of death for any credible opposition in Cuba . Besides violating the principle of independence from external influence, U.S. ties mark dissidents for repression from the Cuban government and decrease their moral authority with the Cuban public. In a nation that produced the great patriot, Jose Marti, it's unlikely that any successful popular movement can be orchestrated from outside its borders and out of control of its people. It's not clear, then, exactly who will receive the $29 million designated for work with Cuban dissidents and divided into separate funds for women, Afro-Cubans, religious groups, labor, nongovernmental organizations and religious groups. If the past is any indication, much of that money will remain in Miami.
The tightened economic embargo is also likely to backfire. In response to the measures, the Castro government immediately raised dollar prices and restricted dollar purchases. It's belt-tightening time again in a very skinny nation. As always, the ordinary people, not party leaders or government officials, will pay the price.
Several weeks ago, reports surfaced that Repsolthe Spanish petroleum companyhad begun oil exploration off the coast of Cuba . The company is paying $195,000 a day to rent the drilling platform, indicating they have high expectations of discovering significant oil deposits. Needless to say, oil discovery would severely undermine the economic impact of the U.S. blockade.
Finally, the unspoken constituency of the new measures against Cuba are Cuban-American voters in the swing state of Florida. But a significant part of the Cuban-American community has also rejected the measures. Their family members suffer from the attempt to isolate the Cuban economy, and restrictions on family visits (from every year to every three years), spending limits on visits, and reductions in gifts allowed affect them directly.
Playing with Fire
The new U.S. measures to bring down the Castro government in Cuba risk having the opposite effect. They are also playing with fire. A plane is being outfitted, to the tune of $18 million dollars, to buzz the island broadcasting Radio Marti's "the voice of freedom" so Cuban authorities cannot jam the signal. This could conceivably lead to a violation of national airspace and consequent confrontation.
Some may think playing chicken in the Caribbean is a good way to justify intervention to bring down the Castro government. But more likely it will produce another unqualified disaster–for the Cuban people and for U.S. taxpayers who would again pay the price of a government that chooses forced "regime change" over constructive dialogue and engagement.

"Races" as used in the title is used in a scientific sense, so it can apply to plants as well as bears. It has nothing to do with human variation specifically.
A group of scientists and anthropologists tried to determine how many 'races' of humans there were back in the 60's I believe. They used small changed infacial bone sructures, ears, nose shape, etc.... They eventually just stopped because they were in the hundreds and not even outside of Europe yet.
It has been a couple decades since I read that book, but I don't recall anything remotely saying males were "higher evolved" than females. Actually....just saying that would completely change his entire theory. So, that one I'm going to have to say "hooey".
And, if you actually want truth and real history, Hitler used Christianity and the "will of God" to convince the German people they were doing the right thing. I know the whole truth thing is not popular, but I have no choice, it is who I am.
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."--Mark Twain

The Cardio Service Line, Rebooted
"Our goal was to tackle the reason they came to the emergency department, correct that, and then get the patient back to their primary care physician or cardiologist for additional evaluation," Mascioli says. Being inclusive about developing such a protocol "may slow down some processes, but if it's related to quality improvement, we make sure we have participation across the spectrum." She predicts complete buy-in to the atrial fibrillation effort because the same clinical team has accepted a jointly developed chest pain process and heart failure process. She observes that all of the 30 or so doctors on the cardio team are voluntary. "It doesn't require an employment model to get collaboration. We do it."
Boosting admissions
As healthcare leaders look to enhance their cardio services and expand their reach, though, they should keep in mind an important customer dynamic about visits to the doctor. As Kirschner explains, "A patient doesn't mind driving a long distance for a unique service, as long as routine care is local." Indeed, because 75% of respondents want to be a regional cardio destination center or local cardio leader, their current challenge will be to offer a competitive set of subspecialties while increasing their outpatient services.

The issue of road funding -- or, to put it slightly differently, the question of how South Carolina should fix its broken road system -- is now a constant topic in politics and the media. A fair number of state lawmakers have therefore begun to advocate what politicians always advocate when they don't want to make tough decisions about the budget: raising taxes, specifically the fuel tax.
