Former Sisterhood editor Gabrielle Birkner has been named the new managing editor of JTA.
Birkner is heading JTA's editorial team and leading efforts to expand and improve the 97-year-old Jewish news agency's digital offerings.
"We are so proud and excited to have Gabi assuming this role," said Ami Eden, JTA's CEO and editor in chief. "She is a top-rate journalist, a great digital strategist and a superb mentor and manager. She is the perfect person to uphold our century-long tradition of journalistic excellence, while helping us continue to implement a digital strategy for the future."
Birkner is the former director of digital media at the Forward, where she founded and edited the women's issues blog, The Sisterhood. She also served as a religion reporter and features editor at The New York Sun, and as a staff writer at The New York Jewish Week. She co-founded and serves as executive editor of Modern Loss, an online magazine about grief and loss, geared toward 20- and 30-somethings.
"I'm thrilled to join JTA's talented team at this pivotal moment for the news organization. I look forward to working with our staff writers and correspondents around the world to deliver exceptional journalism to our online readers and client newspapers," Birkner said.
Founded in 1917 and known for decades as the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, JTA reports on developments impacting Jews and Jewish communities in the United States, Israel and around the world. JTA serves 3 million users per year via its website and enewsletters, and distributes content to 75 syndication clients around the world.
JTA is in the process of merging with MyJewishLearning. Eden and board leaders of both organizations have agreed that even after the merger JTA will continue to operate as a standalone news brand.

What's up with these men — my brothers — who refuse to sit next to women — my sisters — on planes and trains, buses and light rails?
The situations of frum men refusing to sit next to women lend themselves to a kind of grade-school snickering. Methinks the man doth protest too much, way too much. In fact, one imagines a gap between what they are thinking and what they are saying — something like, "I can't (but desperately really want to) sit next to you" The woman might be thinking the same thing or the opposite "I am insulted and also glad that you don't want to sit next to me, thank you very much." Beneath the oppressive humor though there may be serious matters at stake.
As everyone knows, much of the hubbub and hullabaloo has formed around a prominent Orthodox feminist whose flight from Israel to the United States was delayed by a man who insisted that he did not have to sit next to her — a woman — for religious reasons. The woman rather than just "take it" protested loudly calling it an insult akin to racism and published an article about it. In a separate incident reported in the Washington Post and elsewhere, a number of "ultra-orthodox" men delayed a flight to Israel, causing "chaos and panic in the aisles" because they did not want to sit next to women.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' addresses at this year's United Nations General Assembly were, well, not the friendliest.
Netanyahu accused Abbas of war crimes.
Abbas accused Israel of genocide.
Netanyahu accused Abbas of executing civilians.
Abbas accused Netanyahu undermining peace efforts.
You get the picture.
This weekend marks the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Traditionally, in the days leading up to Yom Kippur, Jews engage in deep introspection. We each look at our relations with others in the world, and asking their forgiveness, because, according to scripture, only then are we fit to appear before God and ask his forgiveness as well.
This weekend also marks the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. During Eid al-Adha, practicing Muslims sacrifice sheep and calves to commemorate the patriarch, Ibrahim, or Abraham, following God's commandments. In addition to these sacrifices, on Eid, family members travel around to visit and greet each other, and mend and renew interpersonal relations.
Lucy Fox Robins Lang (second from right) at her book party, 1948 // Copyright Forward Association
Welcome to Throwback Thursday, a weekly photo feature in which we sift 116 years of Forward history to find snapshots of women's lives.
When Lucy Fox Robins Lang's memoir "Tomorrow is Beautiful" was published by Macmillan in 1948, the Forverts was there to cover the book party.
Celebrating along with Lang, on the far left of the image with his back to the camera was no less than David Dubinsky, President of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
As a young girl Lang immigrated to America with her family, where she evolved into a much beloved progressive activist who reportedly journeyed within movements as varied as anarchism, the Wobbly group (Industrial Workers of the World), socialism and pacifism. Her belief in women's equality carried into her intimate life where she was a practitioner of "free-love" and domestic partnerships decades before that was common. In her later years, Lang was also part of a dynamic progressive power couple when she married third husband Harry Lang, Forverts lead writer on labor and eventual pioneering Labor Editor for the Forverts' West Coast bureau. But before going West together, they reportedly travelled way back East to his town of origin in Lithuania, as early as 1928.
We are currently in the thick of what I like to call Teshuva Season. Starting with Rosh Chodesh Elul and continuing through Hoshana Rabbah, this time of year gives us a full seven weeks of reflection, repentance, and self-reproach. It is known as a time to mend our relationships with others and with God, our chance to beg for forgiveness lest our names be excluded from the Book of Life for the coming year.
As someone who recovered from depression and had, at one point in time, a very low sense of self-worth, this time of year can be deeply triggering for me. Year after year we are taught to repent for our sins, leading many of us to feel that the more we suffer over our mistakes, the greater our chances will be of deserving forgiveness and salvation. I remember growing up in school and hearing about how we needed to beg God to spare us our lives. I remember hating myself for feeling like I wasn't strong enough to fully commit to certain mitzvot. I remember thinking during Yom Kippur services that there was no way I deserved to live another year because of the many sins I felt I had done. No one ever said these things to me, and yet these were the messages I absorbed from my teachers every September.
Many people can use this feeling of guilt in a way that is healthy and constructive, turning them into powerful motivators for change. I am not one of those people. If I'm not careful and disciplined with my thoughts, my guilt turns into a bitter tirade against myself. In this way the Yom Kippur craze can become a tool for masochism that is sneakily disguised as religious fervor. Even without an active behavior, the self-loathing mentality is one that indulges those inner demons I work so hard to silence and yet find so difficult to ignore.
Rosh Hashanah prayers, as depicted in the 18th century // Copyright Wikimedia Commons
My father was buried on the eve of Rosh Hashanah 2002 and the holiday began just a few surreal hours after I stood at his open grave. The shiva — the seven-day period of formal mourning — was cancelled to usher in the New Year. With a truncated shiva behind me, I debuted as a congregational mourner on Rosh Hashanah. It was the first time that I said the Mourner's Kaddish. Arguably, the busiest day of the year in the synagogue, I stood up in front of 800 people to recite the Kaddish — effectively a love song to God whom I felt didn't deserve my adoration.
The feminist, poet and liturgist Marcia Falk had a similar experience. In 1978, her father Abraham Abbey Falk died midway between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and her grieving was cut short by the advent of the Day of Atonement. After three days of shiva, Falk braced herself to mourn in a crowded synagogue. But the public face she tried to show faded away when she was confronted with the somber, terrifying words of the Un'taneh Tokef. The thousand year-old prayer, written by an unknown author in Northern Europe, is central to the Yom Kippur liturgy.
In a recent presentation at Brandeis University sponsored by the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, Falk noted that her ambivalent relationship with the Un'taneh Tokef was the inspiration for her latest book, The Days Between: Blessings, Poems, And Directions of the Heart for the Jewish High Holiday Season.. "The Un'taneh Tokef" she said, "is a listing, a repentance. The message it conveyed to me, five days after losing my father, was that if he had been a pious, righteous and repentant man the decree would have been averted and he would not be dead. No one actually believed that, but nonetheless the words were hurtful and unhelpful."
From the moment I woke up on the morning of my first Yom Kippur in September of 2010, a heavy ache sat right at my forehead, some combination of early hunger pangs, a minor hangover, and caffeine withdrawal. When I later sat next to my boyfriend and his family at their New Brunswick, New Jersey synagogue, I thought of nothing but the fact that my eyeballs were sore. Occasionally I would sneak into the bathroom, sit down on the toilet and rest my head on top of the cold metal sanitary napkin dispenser. So this is atonement.
During a brief respite between morning and afternoon services, I accompanied the family outside. We stood on the steps to Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Jersey beneath the direct glare of a sun I found annoyingly bright. I grimaced and said something uncreative about my headache.
"We can go get you coffee right now," my boyfriend said.
"No," I insisted, "I'm fine."
My boyfriend wasn't trying to tempt me, but rather giving an option he felt I had: because I wasn't (and still am not) Jewish, I wasn't required to fast. It hadn't ever occurred to me, though that I wouldn't partake. Though I hadn't yet begun my conversion process, a part of me already considered the possibility Judaism was my faith, so I wanted to experience everything that an authentic member of the Tribe did. If I felt truly horrified at hearing my sins during the reciting of Al Chet, if the shofar did awaken some spark in me that wanted to be better, then perhaps I was, at last, home.

SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — Earlier this year, the Jewish overnight camp Eden Village garnered a great deal of attention for its "no body talk" policy, which camp leaders described as providing a "break from mentioning physical appearance, including clothing."
The policy, which aims to lessen the stress children feel about appearance, certainly has merit. But now that students have returned to school, where social anxieties can fester, our experience at Camp Be'chol Lashon points to a much different way of approaching bodies and appearance.
At Be'chol Lashon, which provides a space for racially and ethnically diverse Jews, discussion about appearance is the norm. Instilling confidence and pride among our campers means doing exactly the opposite of the "no body talk" rule. We talk openly about shared external characteristics in the context of race and identity.
Refraining from any comments on appearance means, by default, that race will be ignored. There will be those who see this as a positive. It is common in seeking racial equality to claim not to see race, to be "colorblind." To some it speaks to a vision of a world where the color of one's skin does not matter. To our campers, it means that a critical component of who they are becomes irrelevant, even taboo.

My temple I went to as a child looked exactly the same: a modest, two-story red brick building facing a fenced-in concrete schoolyard. The same Jewish star on second floor, encasing a menorah. Often when we return to our childhood memories, everything looks smaller than we'd remembered. My temple hadn't changed, even though I had.
It was my annual nostalgic excursion back to Brooklyn — not the hipster Brooklyn I no longer recognized, not the Williamsburg where I accompanied Grandma Regina to visit her Hasidic relatives. It was the other Brooklyn, at the end of the subway line near Coney Island. My old neighborhood wasn't classy enough for an official name, like nearby Gravesend. "It's between Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay," I'd say. My street jutted landmarks like Shore Parkway and Suicide Hill.
Singer Neil Sedacka grew up down the block. My next-door neighbors were concentration camp survivors; I tried to avoid staring at the numbers tattooed on their arms. My father was a first generation American who attended Cooper Union for free, became an engineer, and later left the field because of anti-Semitism. He was the son of a widow in Oceanhill Brownsville, an immigrant from Prussia who spoke six languages, earning money by cleaning houses and knitting sweaters.

(Haaretz) — Where are you for the High Holidays? If "you" refers to Orthodox Jewish men, then you get to pray in the main sanctuary, which you will enter through the main entrance. Once inside the sanctuary, you will be full participants in the service, able to see and hear all that goes on, spending the time with your sons and younger daughters.
Once your daughters reach the age of seven, they will go from "us" to "them," a threat to your delicate souls. Then they will be ushered into the women's section, where they will continue a centuries-old tradition of gender-based segregation, to put it in modern terms.
Women usually enter through a side entrance and find themselves in the less attractive section of the synagogue. At best, they may be on a separate level. At worst, they may be either pushed into a stifling corner or given an area that is open from every direction, such as a corridor, or a room that is occasionally used for storage. Once inside the women's section, you will be seated behind a divider, far away from the prayer service – the very reason you are here. In many cases, you will not be able to make eye contact with the congregation below or follow the service in your prayer book because you can hardly hear it from where you are sitting. Happy holidays.
Exemplars of segregation, exclusion
A photographic exhibition of women's sections in dozens of synagogues in Israel and abroad by architect and photographer Adva Naama Baram, entitled "In the Women's Section," opened last Thursday for the High Holiday season at the Architect's House Gallery in Jaffa. Baram photographed women's sections of various types, sizes, locations and designs that are exemplars of the pattern of segregation and exclusion. The 27 photographs in the exhibition, whose curators are architects Rivka Gutman and Eran Tamir-Tawil, speak for themselves.

JTA — Since 2011, American conceptual artist Elana Katz has been performing in Europe at sites once identified with Jewish communities, through a project called Spaced Memory.
"The history of these places is unacknowledged, forgotten and in some cases even concealed," the Berlin-based Katz, who has worked with pioneering conceptual artist Marina Abramovic, explains in a crowdfunding appeal for Spaced Memory.
She has performed in Romania and in Serbia, and this month launched a performance in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.
But Kosovo has posed some unique challenges. Mainly, the fact that documentation about Jewish properties in Kosovo was lost after the 1999 war, and current and former Kosovar Jews disagree on what was and was not Jewish. So Katz was faced with a dilemma: How to commemorate a Jewish site that might not actually have been Jewish?
She decided to focus on the Pristina Boxing Club, the one building that all her Jewish interlocutors agreed had once had Jewish use — just what kind of use, no one really knew.
Sarah Osnath Halevy // Copyright Forward Association
Welcome to Throwback Thursday, a weekly photo feature in which we sift 116 years of Forward history to find snapshots of women's lives.
This magnetic image depicts a moment of ecstatic passion of the Yemenite Jewish multi-talented singer, actor, dancer and mime Sarah Osnath Halevy.
Occasionally titled a "Palestinian diseuse" as well as a "dancing actress" Halevy was a multi-lingual talent who gave interpretive performances in Hebrew, Yemenite, Persian, Arabic, Ladino, Russian and Yiddish. Arriving in New York City from her native Yemen in the 1930's through the auspices of famous Jewish impresario Sol Hurok, Halevy was among the original women performers of the Middle Eastern cultural roots music and dance.
She introduced mostly Ashkenazi Yiddish speaking audiences to the deep folkloric riches of Jewish Arabic culture and Palestinian children's songs in a manner also reflective of early romantic Zionism. Her premiere in New York City was at the Astor Theatre on Broadway and 45th Street (currently the Marriot Marquis Hotel) where she appeared at the 1935 premiere of the film "Land of Promise", which is considered the first sound film about Jewish pioneers of Palestine.
JTA — One gets Jewish teens and b'nai mitzvah students involved in community service work in urban Detroit. Another is working to improve online Jewish education options. And another is developing a unique curriculum based on women of the Bible.
All of them are women.
Joshua Venture Group (JVP), a nonprofit organization that has been investing in Jewish entrepreneurs since 2000, recently announced its selection of six fellows for its 2014-16 Dual Investment Program. This is the program's first all-female cohort — something that happened not by design, but was a "pleasant surprise," as Lisa Lepson, the group's executive director put it.
"An investment like this in female Jewish leadership is refreshing to see in our community, and we look forward to watching these women build a strong support network together alongside their impactful ventures," Lepson said in a news release.
The two-year program, which begins this month, seeks to cultivate visionary leaders and ideas that will strengthen the Jewish community through educational, social, spiritual, cultural and service programs. Each fellow will receive more than $100,000 in funding and support to develop her ventures.

On Saturday, I was walking on Amsterdam Avenue in New York City, crossing over to the other side with my son Seth when a man with white stubble and a New Jersey accent stopped me and asked: "Do you want to be a tenth to minyan?"
I was shocked. I looked at him and asked: "Me?"
"Yes, why not?"
I was caught so off guard; I wore nothing that gave me away as Jewish. Just black leggings and a red shirt; boots. An ordinary outfit. I felt so integrated into the New York City weekend scene. But my eight-year-old son, who often chooses to be more religious than me, had his yarmulka on, so he gave me away.
I never thought anyone would ever ask me to be a part of a quorum for prayers. According to Jewish tradition, the presence of God descends to where there are ten men. Only in egalitarian synagogues women are also counted. I've watched men look for a tenth for minyan many times, because I grew up Hasidic and the men needed a minyan three times a day. When my grandfather was old and frail we held prayers in our house and finding ten men older than 13 who could make it was often a problem. We called the extended social network; cousins and neighbors and far away relatives who would make the effort for the sake of the grandfather; but I would never be called. I often helped get the men by running after younger brothers and knocking on neighbor's doors to ask if someone could come be a tenth. After I got married at eighteen, I could help by sending my husband to be part of prayers when there was a need for minyan, but that was the only extent to which I could participate. Then I left the Hasidic community and began to explore small, tentative ways I can express my Jewish identity and be part of the Jewish community.
I stood there on this rainy Saturday and looked at the kindly Jewish man in astonishment. A part of me wanted to remind him that I was a woman and couldn't be part of the minyan even if I wanted to, and a part of me was so deeply touched that this man valued me for religious services as much as he would a man.
Bar Rafaeli in a commercial for Carolina Lemke / Copyright: Youtube
In a recent commercial for an Israeli fashion eyewear company Carolina Lemke, Bar Rafaeli is featured bespectacled and pole-dancing in a dream sequence inside of a subway car, across from a leather-clad man who is checking her out.
The Israeli model writhes her away up and down the pole in a midriff-baring tee, jeans and stiletto heels, and we are to find her desirable until the truth is revealed: The woman is actually chubby, something the guy only realizes when he puts on his Carolina Lemke's glasses.
Lesson? Fat is the antithesis of hot, and confusing one for the other is so ridiculous that it's worthy of a punchline.
That's a terrible idea, but it is not the one stirring up most of the complaints in Israel. As Haaretz writes, the majority of viewer take issue with the way in which the ad objectifies Rafaeli, putting "her in a pornographic pose just to catch the viewer's eye" as one viewer put it.

Sixty women sit in an ever-widening circle at B'nai Jeshurun Synagogue on the Upper West Side. We've come to explore a topic that has haunted me, particularly at this time of year, ever since I was a child. Rosh Hashanah is approaching and with it comes a reminder of our vulnerability to the life-threatening gezera or the harsh decree that Jewish tradition teaches will befall us if we don't properly repent.
In my Orthodox upbringing, we were educated in a rigid schema of hard-earned reward and well-deserved punishment. How could I possibly convince an all-seeing God that I was worthy of living another year? I was more self-absorbed than helpful, curiosity won out over compliance, leaving me anxiety-ridden that my transgressions outweighed my good deeds. I trembled in terror that I might not make it past the age of 10.
Grown-up now, we are no longer in the grip of literalism. But vestiges of the primal terror and doubts about our worthiness still hold us in their sway.
That night, the women came to grapple with the potential gezera, the dark shadow threatening our desired outcomes. Is the damning decree generated by internal factors or imposed from without? The liturgy tells us that teshuva or return, prayer and good deeds will overturn the unpropitious gezera. I ask the group, what are the real life skills or resources that might counter a harsh decree?
The discussion focuses on our tendency as women to internalize the gezera. We too often impose harsh verdicts upon ourselves. Countering the gezera begins with a reframing of our own internal soundtracks and reimagining possibilities.

Before Sheryl Sandberg there was Lisa Belkin. Working her way up at The New York Times, Belkin became every mother's favorite mother in 2008 when she started the Times Motherlode blog. The blog touched a nerve as it focused on the elusive balancing act of work and parenting. Her most infamous phrase, "the Opt-Out Revolution," came from a feature Time Magazine story in 2003 — at the height of the dotcom boom — about high-powered career women leaving the workforce to stay at home with their children. The story garnered strong reactions from readers.
The author of three books — "First Do No Harm" (1994), "Show Me a Hero" (2000) and "Life's Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom" (2003) — Belkin moved on from the Times to helm The Huffington Post's HuffPost Parents and as their senior correspondent before accepting a position as Yahoo's senior national correspondent in March. When this wife and mother of two boys, Alex and Evan, spoke to the Forward's Lenore Skenazy, she said she owes it all — sort of — to the Forward.

Vera Hacken was the Odessa-born memoirist of a Czernowitz childhood, and an early novelist of the intricacies of life under the Soviet Union's police state apparatus — but much of her life remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. So when we found her dreamy photo in our archive and felt ourselves hooked in by her dark-eyed melancholic scrutiny, we were determined to unveil some of the hinted-at inscrutability.
Luckily she does have an entry in Berl Kagan's Lexicon of Yiddish Writers (1986). It reads like the scene of a terse briefing in a 1950's noir detective film with its 'just the facts ma'am' line of inquiry.
Still, we gratefully reaped those gleanings: The future Yiddish multi-talented novelist, poet, lyricist, memoirist, essayist, director, playwright, and German and Russian translator was born in 1912 in Odessa. Hacken spent her childhood years in Czernowitz, epicenter of a thriving Yiddish literary and cultural scene, where acclaimed Yiddish fabulist and educator Eliezer Shtaynbarg was her teacher. She studied theatre, establishing herself by 1938 as a director in Bucharest's and Munich's kleynkunst theatres, which are sometimes also described as literary cabarets.
She escaped to the Soviet Union during the war in 1941 with her husband, Yiddish composer and physician Emmanuel Hacken. She briefly lived in the Bavarian resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which hosted a post-war convalescent center, from 1947 until arriving in New York City in 1951.
She published in a variety of Yiddish journals including Afn Shvel and Tsukunft and in 1969, in book form, a Yiddish memoir of her youth under Shtaynbarg's stirring creative influence. In 1990, a collection was published posthumously of her short stories, essays, poems and a novella entitled 'Stantsye Grafskaya' detailing, among other things, the stresses, intrigues and even romances taking place under the sadistic reign of the NKVD who were responsible for enforcing Stalin's reign of terror. An ongoing project in the early 1980's was her editorial supervision and writing of authoritative introductory essays for a series of Yiddish classics published in German by Weitbrecht of Stuttgart.

For eight years I've written a weekly parenting column for a local Jewish newspaper in Boston. My valedictory column will be published just before Rosh Hashana. When I accepted the job, I made it clear that I would not be writing a "how to" column. Nor would I consult parenting books, which, to my mind, frequently state the obvious. No, I was going to live out loud — mistakes and all — and with their consent, so were my children.
My daughter Anna was 12 and my son Adam was 9 when I started the column. They were natural story generators. All I had to do was drive carpool and listen to the sagas going on in the backseat. I learned about who was being bullied, who loved whom, who didn't love whom and most importantly, if my children were happy. Although I strongly felt the Yiddish proverb that you're only as happy as your unhappiest child ring true to me, keeping my children happy through my own intervention was not my goal. Of course, I wanted to swoop in and fix whatever was bothering them, but most importantly I wanted to teach them coping skills.
The parenting columnist gig was not mine alone. From the outset, my children and I were partners in this writing venture. I agreed never to write about anything puberty-related and I was forbidden to talk about any details of their social lives. I also read them every single column in which they were mentioned. I soon discovered a huge benefit to reading my column out loud to my children: it kept me honest. No poetic license for this parenting columnist.

There's nothing like reading a column by a self-proclaimed conservative who equates prudishness with modesty to realize you're not a prude after all.
I am talking about Wendy Shalit's post on Time.com in which she opines about the Jennifer Lawrence hacked-nude-selfie fiasco, conflating sexuality with promiscuity, the erosion of modesty with too-much social media and falling off a cliff with taking selfies, among other things.
"Since the Jennifer Lawrence photo hack, Internet security has come under scrutiny. But why do many young women feel the need to take and share nude selfies in the first place?" Ms. Shalit writes. "Young women are told that it's a sign of being 'proud of your sexuality' to 'sext' young men — a philosophy that has turned girls into so many flashing beacons, frantic to keep the attention of the males in their lives by striking porn-inspired poses."
Um, does Ms. Shalit really think only young, impressionable teenagers sext and get naked in front of the camera? News flash, Wendy: Adults take nude selfies, too. Yes, mature adult men and women do it all the time — and not in an adulterous manner. In fact, I bet you half of your adult friends have done so in the privacy of their own homes — photos they have every intention to share exclusively with their spouses or significant non-matrimonial others. You don't believe me? Go to shul and take a survey of the fine and modest men and women who follow Halacha to a tee and strike poses, probably not porn-inspired, for spousal consumption. What's wrong with a little healthy sexual teasing to keep the fire in a relationship burning? Why must it be deemed frantic male attention-grabbing when all it really is two consenting adults indulging in hard to come by (no pun intended) foreplay?
Allow me to take this a step further: You speak of the celestial romance of the Algerian-French singer Enrico Macias who sings a love song to his wife — on stage — and you call it "a drama between them that was not for the public to see." Do you suppose that, maybe, while he was singing to her "for the public to see," somewhere in their little private love nest there were love notes containing explicit sexual content, and perhaps suggestive photos? Jennifer Lawrence, or anyone else snapping nude selfies, does not post her racy photos for the public to see, but puts out her best, dressed self, much like Enrico Macias publicly serenading his wife.

The 25% growth of Seawork, commercial marine exhibition and conference, opening for its 16th year in the Port of Southampton on Tuesday 25 June, indicates the underlying confidence of the sector.
With more exhibitors from more countries occupying more space than ever before, Seawork 2013 promises to be a hub of networking activity with levels of business between the 500+ exhibitors and up to 7,000 international visitors reaching unprecedented levels over the event's three days.
Registration for marine professionals to attend the exhibition for free is now open at www.seawork.com.
Vessels on the water
The range and selection of over 50 vessels moored on 250m of pontoons, specially installed alongside the Seawork Quayside, will be a major attraction for visitors. This year's fleet includes a 10m, 12-seat passenger ferry exhibited by Brittany-based ACCF, an asymmetric-hulled 5.6m Wight Cat Five-O and an aluminium Silverbreeze 8.5 from Dutch Workboats. Also from the Netherlands, Euro Offshore will introduce the new 9.2m Blue Spirit inboard diesel waterjet cabin RIB and Fast RSQ will be demonstrating a 7m Fast Rescue Craft.
CWind, a U.K.-based offshore wind industry service and solutions company, will be displaying a CTruk 20T Multi Purpose Catamaran and the company's Military & Security Division demonstrator cat THOR. CTruk Managing Director Ben Simpson commented, "It's the first time we'll have vessels on the pontoons, which is an exciting prospect, and it is in no small part due to the success of our last Seawork, following which we clinched several contracts."
Depending on availability, the commercial division of Piranha Ribs will exhibit either an 8.5m cabin RIB fitted with twin 150hp outboards or a P10, which will be competing in the Round Ireland RIB Challenge later this year.
Maximizing the unique demonstration opportunities that Seawork offers, the 7.9m Cheetah Marine vessel on the pontoon will be fitted with the Optimus 360 steering system from Hypro Marine. It allows even inexperienced boaters to move a vessel forward, back or diagonally, rotate it on its own center, or even move sideways to accomplish a tricky docking manoeuvre with confidence.
In conference
This year's CPD-certified Seawork conference will start at 10am on Tuesday, June 25 with the invaluable presentation by the Ministry of Defence on its boats procurement program for 2014.
As part of a series of papers devoted to Renewable Energy, Stuart Grant, Senior Project Manager of Navitus Bay, will give an overview of opportunities for the marine supply sector in the U.K.'s offshore wind industry. Navitus Bay, located off the Dorset and Hampshire coasts, is a 50:50 joint venture between Eneco Wind UK Ltd and EDF Energy. The proposed 1,100MW project could provide significant opportunities for local businesses in the marine sector.
Other highlights of the conference program include the launch of a revised version of the Brown Code, produced by the U.K. workboat industry and the MCA, a workshop and seminar on the final report of the CAMIS INTERREG IVa project on Port Transport and Diversification, a presentation on The Motorways of the Sea and a forum on health and safety on RIBs.
Multi-faceted industry reflected in special features
With vessels in the water, a Quayside for oversize exhibits and a 17,000 liter Dive Tank for live, underwater demonstrations, the Seawork exhibition has grown and expanded into a third hall for 2013, reflecting the diversity and vitality of the commercial marine industry.
Special features provided to help visitors navigate around the exhibition easily include the Marine Civils Trail, the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Pavilion, the Maritime Security Pavilion and the Renewable Energy Pavilion.
More than 75 companies will exhibit in Seawork's Small Business Enterprise Zone, which is specifically designed to allow small companies and start-up operations to take advantage of the benefits an internationally significant exhibition.
The importance and ubiquity of the Rigid Inflatable Boat, first created in 1963, is commemorated with a special RIB@50 display and the established RIBwork Trail, while the commercial marine industry's adaptability and diversity will once again be highlighted by the Innovations Showcase and Awards.

'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Star Cynthia Bailey is Pregnant With a Second Child
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey is pregant and expecting her second child, according to multiple reports.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey is pregant and expecting her second child, according to multiple reports.
Bailey, 46, is reportedly pregnant by her husband Peter Thomas, a businessman, according to Counter Culture Beauty. She has a 12-year-old daughter, Noelle Robinson, with actor Leon Robsinson.
Bailey and Thomas tied the knot in a glamorous Atlanta wedding at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History on July 24, 2010, according to Essence.com.
Bailey will attend her friend and co-star NeNe Leakes' wedding scheduled for June 22. It will be filmed for her TRHOA spinoff show, I Dream Of NeNe: The Wedding.
Leakes revealed on Twitter in April that she selected Bailey to be one of her bridesmaids. Leakes also included stars from VH1's Basketball Wives Los Angeles (Jennifer Williams and Laura Govan) to the bridal party.
"The wedding date, which was originally scheduled June 29, 2013 at an undisclosed location, has recently been moved up to June 22, 2013," StraightFromTheA.com reported.
Radar Online disclosed Leakes' lavish nuptials will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Atlanta.
Bailey and Leakes have signed on to appear in season 6 of TRHOA. According to Radar Online, the entire cast will return next season because they brought their "best game" during Season 5.
"All the ladies have already signed their contracts for the next season," a source close to the production told Radar Online in April.
The RHOA cast members all signed on before the three-part Season 5 Reunion special aired on April 7, because the cast drew huge ratings for the show, the source tol Radar Online.
Bailey has her own modeling agency in Atlanta, The Bailey Agency, and she recently partnered up with One World Doll Project, a company that produces a line of multi-cultural and fashion dolls. The company selected Bailey to be the face of their first celebrity doll.

It will be Hockey Night in Preston when dozens of former Preston High...
There are several diets out there that each claim to accomplish different...
Déjà vu? I could swear I read this before. It was one of those perfect Ontario summer days consisting of warm rays during the day and a soft breeze at night.
It was a pleasant change from last week's heat wave, with the temperature dropping to 11 C and a gentle wind blowing fresh air through the open windows. It was going to be a great night for sleeping.
And then the neighbour started his fire.
Apparently John E has a lot of issues with his neighbours. He closes up his windows and hides behind the curtains as he calls the fire department to complain about a backyard fire.
This past Tuesday, Coun. Nicholas Ermeta put forward a motion to eliminate the city's ban on outdoor fires, something that we should all demand.
I was amazed by the comments by certain members of city council. It was unbelievable that they could say such idiotic things. Coun. Pam (I know what's best for you) Wolf stated that should we allow outdoor fires, people will be burning their old tires in the backyard.
She continued on to state that wood should be run through a chipper and composted down on Savage Drive instead of being burned. That seems like a waste to me - cutting down a tree, cutting it into suitable lengths, splitting it, letting it dry, and then running it through a chipper - but it is pretty much what one would expect from Wolf.
The Cambridge fire chief was questioned on the matter. He stated that he conferred with the chief of Kitchener and based his response on information from a different city.
Apparently in Kitchener, calls about outdoor fires are handled by bylaw enforcement, not the fire department. He went on to say that within the City of Cambridge, they don't have the capability of having it enforced by bylaw.
And even so, the firefighter's association has stated quite clearly that this would be a matter to be dealt with by the fire department and should bylaw enforcement get involved, there would be job actions by the firefighter's association.
Another comment was that "the bylaw wasn't broke, why fix it?" That comment works both ways. There was a time that there was no bylaw preventing backyard fires, and then there was. It wasn't broken back then.
It was also stated that there wasn't a total ban on fires, just a few regulations, like being a minimum of 150 meters from any structure.
Assuming that a building is centered on a lot, which would mean the property would need to be 300 meters wide (and deep) and assuming the neighbours don't have any structures near the property line and that the fire is on the property line, how many homes in Cambridge are sitting on over 22 acres?
As a kid in Preston, we had outdoor fires and knew all our neighbors. Now the neighbors hide behind the curtains and no one knows anyone.
So if we allow outdoor fires, everyone will burn tires and the fire department will go on strike. Is that the best they can come up with?
Students have their 420, April 20, and they all gather to light up a joint. I encourage all residence of Cambridge to rake their leaves to the curb on November the 15, drop in a match, and we will have our own 11:15.
So John, slam the windows shut, block off the fresh air in hopes of denying the putrid smell of smoke from entering the house and we will all sit outside, talking with our neighbours, thinking about who to vote for in the next election.
It's time to take action. Save those leaves for Nov. 15, drop a match, and meet your neighbours, the city will be a better place for it. It's time to end the ban on outdoor fires.

UK paper posts anti-Israel cartoon on Holocaust day
'Sunday Times' anti-Semitic cartoon 370.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
The Sunday Times marked Holocaust Memorial Day in a less-than-traditional manner, running a virulently anti-Israel cartoon depicting a big-nosed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu paving a wall with the blood and limbs of writhing Palestinians.The cartoon included a caption beneath the image entitled "Israeli elections- will cementing peace continue?" Drawn by Gerald Scarfe, the cartoon appeared in the national paper on Sunday.For a larger version of the cartoon, click here"This cartoon would be offensive at any time of the year, but to publish it on International Holocaust Remembrance Day is sickening and expresses a deeply troubling mindset," said European Jewish Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor. "This insensitivity demands an immediate apology from both the cartoonist and the paper's editors.""Amazingly, as this cartoon was published days after the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel, underwent fully democratic elections, as others in the Middle East were being butchered by the tens of thousands, the Sunday Times focuses its imagination solely on the Jewish State. This contravenes many of the criteria laid out in EUMC's Working Definition of Antisemitism and is part of a worrying trend to legitimize the growing assault on Israel by opinion-shapers."The Sunday Times defended its cartoon in response to charges of anti-Semitism. "This is a typically robust cartoon by Gerald Scarfe," a spokesman for
the weekly said. "The Sunday Times firmly believes that
it is not anti-Semitic. It is aimed squarely at Mr Netanyahu and
his policies, not at Israel, let alone at Jewish people."The publication added that the cartoon appeared on Sunday because that was its first issue since Netanyahu won reelection, and reiterated that it opposes anti-Semitism in all its forms.British anti-Semitism has made headlines throughout the week after Liberal Democrat MP David Ward accused "the Jews" of inflicting violence on Palestinians on a daily basis," and questioned how they could do this so soon after their "liberation from the death camps."He issued something of a backtrack on Saturday evening, in response to condemnation from his party and a huge backlash on social media. "I was trying to make clear that everybody needs to learn the lessons of the Holocaust," the MP posted on his website."I recognize of course the deep sensitivities of these issues at all times, and particularly on occasions of commemoration such as this weekend [Holocaust Memorial Day]," he said.He added that his criticisms of Israel "remain as strong as ever."European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton paid a special tribute to Holocaust survivors on Sunday, in a statement released on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.Ashton said that the survivors of the Holocaust "remind us of this tragedy that we must never forget."Jonny Paul contributed to this report

Journey to the NFL Journal: Marcus Hyde
- Updated: February 21, 2012
Gaining an inside perspective
William & Mary's Marcus Hyde was a previous guest on the podcast (listen here). Now he returns to give us a look inside his life as he trains in hopes of getting a shot to play in the NFL. Hyde will be updating us in a player's journal type format whenever he can. This is his first entry.
Hey everybody!
My name is Marcus Hyde and I am a defensive end out of the College of William and Mary (projected Outside Linebacker). First off I'd like to thank Kevin McGuire and No2minutewarning.com for the opportunity to share this process with everyone.
My agent, Casey Muir from CRM Sports Management, and I started this process by doing some research and finding a great trainer to get me ready for my pro day. Shane Sykes from Elite Athlete Development in Richmond, Virginia is doing a great job of getting my times down and making me stronger so I can hopefully show off for NFL scouts on pro day and possibly get drafted. I'm currently in week 5 of training and have seen gains I'd never thought I could get.
We worked out at about 8am this morning and we did some 10 yard sprints and technique work along with some benching. So far I've gained about 5 pounds from when I started, putting me at 256 lbs and I've also dropped my 40 about 3 tenths of a second! Today was a great day running 10 yard sprints. I hit some good times, sitting around 1.53-1.55 seconds. As you may not know I had shoulder surgery on November 23rd. Rehab and strengthening my shoulder has been phenomenal thanks to Shane. This morning I benched 300 lbs and aim to do 225 at the pro day for 15+ after having surgery just a few months ago! Looking forward to tomorrow's workout and I can't wait till pro day on March 14th. I'll keep you guys updated, thanks for reading!

Ben also just recently released a video for "Teardrop Windows" off of his debut album, Former Lives (out now via Barsuk), which was directed by Tom Scharpling, who also recently directed videos for Aimee Mann, Nude Beach, and others. The video stars comedian Kurt Braunohler, who plays a record label executive that tries to turn Ben into a "bad boy." Check out that video and an updated list of dates below.

This just in: The UNLV men's basketball team is off to an impressive start, with a Top 25 ranking and big wins over Wisconsin and Virginia Tech. Apparently the good news has not reached some Rebels fans, who earlier this month were behaving like Biff from the Back to the Future series, inexplicably full of insecure bravado. In Reno, they blasted vuvuzelas at passersby on Virginia Street, clashed with elderly UNR fans in the stands and shouted down the crowd at a mostly hospitable Wolf Pack bar. Things got really ugly after UNLV grabbed a quick 22-6 lead. A couple of fans wearing "Ruck Feno" T-shirts began screaming at their rivals and flipping them the bird. Security officers had to put the worst agitator in a grade-school timeout in an empty section. For a program that has won a national title and holds the third-best all-time win percentage in college hoops, it was pretty puzzling. Especially given that UNR, now 2-7, never stood a chance. If we're poised to be a powerhouse for years to come—and many believe we are—then fans need to lose the attitude. This Saturday, let's remind Southern Utah what winners look like.

Riverview Gardens students welcomed to Mehlville School District
District administrators greet students, families on arrival

Mehlville Superintendent Eric Knost introduces himself to Riverview Gardens students and their families before the start of last week's 'meet-and-greet' event at Oakville Middle School. Mike Anthony photo. (
click for larger version
August 14, 2013 -
Mehlville School District administrators and Board of Education members welcomed more than 150 Riverview Gardens students and their families to the district during a "meet-and-greet" event last week at Oakville Middle School.
"... I just want to dismiss any fear whatsoever that you are not welcome in our school district. You are," Superintendent Eric Knost told Riverview Gardens students and their families. He has received an outpouring of phone calls from residents who "want to make sure that I convey to you that message of warmth and welcome. So please hear that, understand that ..."
Mehlville Board of Education members and administrators, including ones from Central Office, along with principals and assistant principals, greeted Riverview Gardens students and their families on arrival.
"... You will not find a better group of administrators in any school district," Knost said. "I've been in this school district for 12 years. I've had a lot of hand in assembling this team. I'm very proud of this team ... I don't think anybody can hold a candle to this administrative team, and they are your principals — those people that will meet with, work with, nurture, love (and) care for your children in their buildings ..."
Riverview Gardens' plans for transporting its students to Mehlville schools had not been announced at the time the Call went to press.
Knost told Riverview Gardens students and their families that transportation "is not in our hands. We do not have any say-so in that. We do not have the ability to set it up and we have not had the kind of communication that I would like on this topic ..."
He later said, "These are our kids, and if you had any idea what lifelong educators feel like when they say, 'Here's your new kids, and by the way, you have no control over how they're going to get to your buildings,' that's stressful for us ..."
The superintendent also discussed Mehlville's diversity, noting the district continues to participate in the voluntary transfer program with city schools.
"We also have a lot of ethnic populations. We have over 50 languages spoken by our families in this school district and that took me a long time to really get a grasp on what that meant," he said. "We have families that represent 50 different languages, which means the language they talk around the dinner table is not the language we talk during the day at school.
"So we have quite a bit of diversity spread throughout our district and I think you'll realize that right from the beginning."
A welcome video prepared by the district's Communications Department was shown, and Knost encouraged Riverview Gardens students and their families to visit the Mehlville school they would be attending. Maps to the schools were provided to the Riverview Gardens families.
At the Call's press time, at least three organizations threatened separately to sue Mehlville over its decision to limit the number of transfer students.
But Knost encouraged Riverview Gardens students and their families "to not get distracted by all the legal jargon, by all of the talk. I want to make you rest assured that we came to the table to figure out a way that we could help by accepting transfer students while maintaining the excellence that we've worked on.
"We want your children to experience the excellence, too. We had years in our buildings where we were busting at the seams, so we are moving forward to help as many students and families as we can. And we just want you to know that. There's not anybody in this system that is not happy that you are here."
