Man and Rabbi 370.
(photo credit:NECHAMA RO SENSTEIN)
The stranger wore a threadbare black sports jacket that looked like it might
have come from a secondhand shop and a dusty black kippa. He stroked his short
beard as he walked up and down the rows of graves as the ox plows, stopping for
a few beats at each to read the headstone.In the row in front of me he
had to detour around T-shirt and shorts-clad twenty-somethings from a Birthright
group, listening to a guide I couldn't hear. Finally he arrived at the last full
row, the one where I sat, with the lawn in front of it waiting for new
tragedies.He nodded at me, hugging himself. I nodded back. After a
moment of hesitation he spoke."It's cold here in Jerusalem," he said I
shrugged. "Here we're used to the seasons starting to change the week before
Rosh Hashana. You must be from someplace warmer. Tel Aviv?" "Tiberias," he said.
"Also Sura."I looked at him quizzically. "You mean the one just west of
the Euphrates?" "That's where I studied." He held out his hand. "Abba Bar
Zabda."I shook it. "Haim," I said. "I can't place the name, though. I
mean, I've studied a bit but I'm hardly a scholar."He sighed. "Yes, my
wife wasn't pleased at all when she saw the final redaction. 'You're never
home,' she griped, 'all day at the house of study, and then when they finally
publish, they barely quote you.' I think it was because I had a knack for saying
the wrong thing.""Oh wait a minute," I said. "I remember.You're
the one with the vermin in the mikve, the ritual purifying bath."He
smiled and quoted himself, "As long as a man holds vermin in his hand, he may
bathe in all the waters of creation, but he will never be pure.""That's
a good one," I said. "I use it all the time.""Well, thank you. I
appreciate that." He pointed at a vacant plastic stool. "May I?" I motioned for
him to sit next to me.He nodded at the grave. "Your son?" he
said.A cool breeze flew through the cypresses, perfumed by the rosemary
growing on the headstone. A pinwheel left by my oldest daughter
twirled."Yes," I said. Then, after a minute, "I had by.""That's good," the scholar said. "It is a tradition to visit the
graves of loved ones during the month of Elul.""And steel yourself for
another holiday without them," I said."What's the hardest part of the
holidays?" he asked me.I considered. "Maybe building the
succa.He used to help me with that.""Succot," he observed, "is
the only holiday on which the Torah explicitly commands us to be
happy.""I do my best," I said. "But it's not the same.""I might
quote Ezekiel," he said. He looked at me. "The prophet, I mean.""Shoot,"
I said."So he also lived by the river of Babylon.Centuries
before I went to study there in Rav's academy. Ezekiel had a wife he loved
dearly, and the Holy One, Blessed Be He, told him, 'Son of Man, behold, I am
about to take the light of your eyes suddenly. But do not mourn or weep.' Put on
your best clothes, spruce up your beard, and go about your business as if
nothing happened. You, said God, will be a living symbol of the promise of
redemption."Your people lives in exile, despairing of redemption. I want them to look
beyond their sorrow and loss toward my promise that I will return them to their
land. By going on with your life normally despite the blow you have suffered,
you will show them that they, too, must live as best they can, looking to the
future and not to the past."I grimaced. "Perhaps a prophet needs to be a
public symbol," I said. "But I am not going to not mourn my son.""Now
you may wonder what this has to do with building a succa," Abba Bar Zabda said.
He looked up and saw a clutch of Birthrighters listening in. He explained,
"That's the holiday that begins on the fifteenth day of Tishrei, five days after
Yom Kippur. According to the Torah, Jews are commanded to leave their homes on
this day and spend seven days living in a ramshackle hut, like the ones their
ancestors lived in during their 40-year sojourn in the
wilderness.""Right, right," I said. "Get to the point.""Now we
might ask," the Tiberian teacher said, clasping his hands together in his lap,
"whether this law is incumbent on everybody, or whether in some cases one might
be exempt. For example, is a mourner required to spend seven days in a succa if
the holiday coincides with his seven days of mourning? And must a bridegroom
spend seven days in a succa if it coincides with his seven days of rejoicing
with his bride following his wedding?" "You have a thing about seven?" asked a
blond guy with a Texas accent."You mean," I suggested, "that a mourner
is too wrapped up in his sorrow to rejoice in the succa.""Right. Now, my
teacher, Rav, who was the strict type, said that mourners must observe all the
precepts in the Torah except for putting on tefillin." The rabbi looked up at
the young people. "These things we strap onto our arms and heads when we pray,"
he explained."But then he also said that a person who suffers in the
succa – I mean, if it's raining, or cold, or there's a bad smell – can eat and
sleep in his home. What are we to make of this contradiction?" "I guess if it's
raining you can't do much about it," the Texan suggested."Very good,"
said Bar Zabda."This assumes that the mourner is capable, by an act of
will, of not suffering," I objected."Rav said that the mourner must
compose his mind," the Tiberian said. "I'm not saying that I agree with him, I'm
just reporting what he said. Now, what about the case of a bridegroom? He has an
obligation to rejoice, so why shouldn't he do so in the succa?" "Depends how big
the succa is," said the Texan. "How big can it be? Can you fit a whole wedding
banquet in it?" "Maybe the party isn't what was worrying Rav," I
suggested."Quite possibly," agreed Bar Zabda. "Certainly other scholars
thought so. Abaye, for example, thought it was an issue of privacy, whereas
Rabbah was worried about the bridegroom's discomfort.""Privacy? At a
wedding?" asked the Texan."At a traditional Jewish wedding," the
Tiberian explained patiently, "the groom and bride retire immediately following
the ceremony, to a private room. I realize this may seem quaint today, but in my
day this would be the first time they were ever alone together.And the
expectation is that they would – and should – take advantage of the opportunity
to consummate their love."The Texan guffawed. "While everyone else is
partying?" "Abaye was concerned that the groom might need to step outside," Bar
Zabda said. "You know, he's nervous and his bladder might act up. And a succa is
open and often built on a street or in a courtyard. Some other man could slip
inside and compromise the bride.""Not if she doesn't want to be
compromised," said the Texan."The appearance of impropriety is no less
problematic than impropriety itself," the Tiberian reminded him.I
considered. "Rabbah," I said, "must have been concerned that the nervous
bridegroom might have trouble performing if he was worried that someone could
walk in on them any time. Odd, however, that he doesn't consider how the bride
might be feeling."Bar Zabda shrugged. "I admit that, back in the third
century, we all had trouble seeing things from a woman's point of
view.But certainly the bride would not find the sukka a congenial place
to be alone with her husband.""So what's the conclusion?" I
asked."That the problem of privacy is not sufficient to cancel the
obligation for the groom to observe the precept of sitting in the succa, but the
problem of discomfort is.""So, in short," I said, "a mourner is expected
to collect himself and rejoice in the succa, while a bridegroom, who is
rejoicing anyway, is given a break. Sounds counter-intuitive to
me.""Let's go back to God's commandment to Ezekiel," Bar Zabda
suggested. "There, mourning is equated with the Exile. Ezekiel is commanded not
to mourn his wife's death publicly, not to observe the rituals that make him
look to others like a mourner. This is meant to be an example to the Jews in
Babylonia, who are to live their lives and go about their business as if they
had not been forcibly deported from their homeland."I considered a
minute. "A succa, too, is a form of exile," I proposed. "You are forced to leave
your house and live in a rickety structure exposed to the
elements.""Yet, in the succa we rejoice," Bar Zabda encouraged
me."Let me carry this further," I said. "The bridegroom is moving in the
opposite direction, from the exile of being alone in the world into his
permanent home.""Not that I always understand the record of my respected
colleagues' discussions," said Bar Zabda. "The Talmud was not edited according
to modern standards. But I think you are going in the right
direction.""A bride and groom do not need to be commanded to rejoice," I
said. "A mourner needs the commandment. Otherwise, he will stay forever in exile
and never be open to redemption."The Texan looked at his friends. "I
don't get it," he said.I looked at my son's grave."It's not
going to be easy," I said. "Isn't rejoicing when you've lost a child like
dipping in a mikve with vermin in your hand? You can never get clean?" "I would
say," Bar Zabda said, "that in this case you need to hold fast and immerse
yourself anyway."We listened again to the breeze."OK," I said.
"I'll do my best.""Glad I could be of help," Bar Zabda said. "I should
get going or I will miss my bus home.Have a good year, the best it can
be." • Haim Watzman is the author of 'Company C: An American's Life as a

Produced by the "Awesome Sound" eh??? "Mediocre keyboard beat sound" more like it! Wack!!! Nothing to hear here, keep it movin'…
Seriously? This shit's lyrical! Dont be a hater, its 2012 for god's sake!
I said nothing about the lyrics I just don't care for the sound of the production. The beat trumps the lyrics to the point where what is said doesn't matter to me… No real hate just not a fan.
Sounds pretty good to me.

Nicole Kidman Talks Marriage To Keith Urban And His Vocal Recovery
If you remember, Keith Urban went under the knife back in November of 2011 to repair damaged vocal cords.
Keith's wife, Nicole Kidman, recently opened up about, among other topics, her marriage to the country star, and his vocal recovery, in the May issue of W Magazine.
Following the throat surgery, Keith had three weeks of silence per the doctor's strict orders. He was on complete vocal lock down!
"Three weeks of no sound – no laughing, no coughing, no sneezing, nothing," Nicole Kidman told W Magazine. "He could write things down, and he would scribble away."
Just before the surgery he had this thank you message for his fans.
Nicole admits that Keith's recent surgery brought the couple even closer, and that she even shed tears upon hearing Keith's voice for the first time after surgery.
"All of those things make you closer," she said. "It was sort of profound to go without his voice, and then to finally hear his voice. What if he sounded different?"
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have been married for six years and have two daughters together.
You can catch Keith Urban on Australia's The Voice, where he is currently a coach.
Nicole Kidman graces the cover of the May issue of W Magazine along with Clive Owen. The two play modern history's greatest husband and wife war correspondents in HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn.

It's been five years since the start of the Pauli Murray Project, which is part of the Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute. The name Pauli Murray is becoming more and more familiar to people, beyond just those who grew up with her in Durham's West End or knew her work nationally for women's rights and civil rights, as an attorney and author. She was also the first African-American female Episcopal priest.
Locally, she has been the subject of a historical marker, several talks, a play, poetry and public murals. Two years ago, she was named a saint by The Episcopal Church, which included her in the book "Holy Women, Holy Men: Celebrating the Saints." She is celebrated on the church calendar every July 1, the date of her death in 1985. This year's celebration service was again held at St. Titus' Episcopal Church in Durham.
Heavy rains on June 30, 2013, left about 150 families in the Chapel Hill area with damage from flooding. In the year since, recovery for some families has been aided by a collaboration of groups including the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, and St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Chapel Hill.
Last July, St. Thomas More Catholic School hosted a one-day event to collect furniture donations for victims of flooding.
And more ...
Raise Up for $15, the group that wants to raise wages of fast-food workers, made its case to Durham Congregations In Action at its monthly meeting this week.
And more ...
In the days following the 1960 wave of sit-ins begun in Greensboro, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. visited Durham to tour downtown lunch counters and give a speech at White Rock Baptist Church.
In his Feb. 16, 1960, sermon, he urged students not to fear jail if they were arrested for standing up for their rights. He delivered the sermon at the church's building which was later demolished for the Durham Freeway. On Sunday, King's speech will be re-enacted at White Rock Baptist where it stands now on Fayetteville Street.
Victoria Gallagher and Matt May, professors at N.C. State University and rhetorical communication scholars, approached the church for a project they're working on to re-create the speech digitally and study how oral recordings are perceived in different settings at different times.

The merger of YO:Durham, which was started by Durham Congregations In Action, and Partners for Youth, another local nonprofit, is almost complete. YO:Durham leaders were recognized at DCIA's monthly meeting this week, during which resolutions were also passed transferring money from YO:Durham, which received funding from DCIA, to the new venture called Partners for Youth Opportunity. The merger was first announced this past winter and will be official June 30. Both small nonprofits worked with at-risk youth – YO:Durham through internships and job training, and PFY primarily with teenagers in Southwest Durham. Partners for Youth Opportunity will incorporate the missions of both.
The Most Rev. Michael F. Burbidge, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, revealed revised plans for a new diocese cathedral in Raleigh this week. The new design is the result of a campaign soliciting feedback and pledges from parishioners at 400 churches in the diocese that stretches from Burlington to the Outer Banks.
The Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral, to be built in Raleigh near the N.C. State University Centennial Campus, will be the mother church for the diocese and the bishop's home parish. Burbidge told media Tuesday that his hope, dream and prayer has been to build a mother church to gather all of the diocese to worship as one. There are 231,000 registered Catholics in the diocese as well as an estimated 200,000 Hispanic parishioners.

Ramon took me along to pick up his suit and to possibly document his conquest of the sexy Dominican attendant at the local dry cleaners. We made several attempts at persuading her to hang out with us but she refused. After finding out that her boyfriend was in another state, we changed our tactic. We assured her that her boyfriend will never have an inkling of what might happen back at our place. Sabrina agreed to hang with us and as soon as we arrived at our bachelor pad, Ramon stuffed her mouth and tight pussy with his hard cock.

T-Team's Leondro Dos Santos clears the ball in the Super League match against Selangor in Kuala Terengganu on Tuesday. The match ended 1-1. - ZABIDI TUSIN/ The Star
KUALA TERENGGANU: Selangor failed to grab the chance to jump to the top of the Super League after being held to a 1-1 draw by T-Team at the Sultan Ismail Stadium.
The Red Giants showed intent in the early stages and nearly went ahead through Brazilian Paolo Rangel but his brilliantly executed freekick in the 13th minute was tipped over by T-Team goalkeeper Shahril Saari.
But Selangor struck from the resulting corner kick as striker A. Thamil Arasu headed in from close range.
T-Team nearly equalised in the 25th minute but Azrul Hazran Amiludin Baki's close range shot was finger-tipped away by goalkeeper Farizal Marlias, with the ball hitting the post before going out.
The second half saw the home side having more of the possession but it was only in the 80th minute that the Titans managed to get the equaliser when Indonesian forward Patrick Wanggai tapped in a freekick from Nelson Martin, much to the delight of the home fans.
Wanggai, however, was given his marching orders in stoppage time when referee Fairuzi Mat Desa ruled that he had elbowed Thamil.
The draw sees Selangor move into second place, replacing Terengganu, but it wasn't enough for them to overtake league leaders Pahang.

Hot Box: Television to talk about
Tale of a Fateful Trip: What were they doing on that island?

Tale of a Fateful Trip: What were they doing on that island? Not the Lost folks, who can't get into a car these days without being pulled over by Hawaii 5-O, but the original TV castaways, the Gilligan gang, who would seem to have developed a taste for the devil weed during their long island exile.
In 1998, the late Bob "Gilligan" Denver was busted for a couple of ounces of pot. And now Dawn Wells, a.k.a. squeaky-clean "Mary Ann" (or should that be Mary Jane?) is on probation for reckless driving – part of a plea bargain resulting from the 69-year-old actor's arrest after Idaho police found a small amount of marijuana, in the form of several half-smoked joints, in her car.
Wells has insisted they were left there by hitchhikers, though a male friend has since apparently testified that the joints were in fact his, left in the car when he borrowed it earlier that day.
I'm guessing that all along, Gilligan's Island was merely a front for a vast marijuana export operation, using advanced cultivation techniques developed by the Professor (using only coconut husks and bamboo), transported by boat by the Skipper, and financed by Thurston and Lovey Howell.
Passing the Puck: After bidding adieu last night to MVP, it's nice to see that at least one hockey-themed series will survive the season. Currently airing on Showcase (Sundays at 9:30), Rent-A-Goalie's next season, now filming in Toronto, will feature several real-life professional hockey legends, including Paul Coffey, Phil Esposito, Bob Probert and Darryl Sittler. Also Sonja Smits, who, as far as we know, has never played professionally.
8 p.m. We tipped you yesterday about an imminent death in Smallville and the departure next season of two key players. Tonight we counter that grim news with a comeback cameo by former Clark Kent confidante Pete Ross (Sam Jones III), who apparently gains temporary superpowers from kryptonite-infused gum. CW and A-Channel.
- The women are literally "pieces of meat" on America's Next Top Model, tonight on Citytv – a photo shoot with a questionable "meatpacking" theme. Punishment, perhaps for the $500,000 (U.S.) in damages the ladies allegedly inflicted on their rented loft.
10 p.m. There are duelling fresh episodes tonight of Law & Order and Men in Trees. This L&O (NBC and CTV) involves a woman's severed finger and a dog-fighting ring; Men (ABC and Citytv) has Marin and Jack – real-life couple Anne Heche and James Tupper – deciding to cohabitate.
- I'm probably going to bypass both, unable to resist AMC's 10 p.m screening of one of the '60s' most blatantly sexist "romantic" comedies, the 1965 Tony Curtis/Jerry Lewis vehicle Boeing Boeing, part of the classic movie channel's Curtis mini-festival, culminating at 4:15 tomorrow morning (set your timers) with the unmatchable 1957 showbiz drama, Sweet Smell of Success.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The Twins scored three runs in the seventh, capped by Jamey Carroll's go-ahead RBI single as Minnesota got its first win of the season with a 6-5 victory over the Angels at Target Field on Thursday.
After the Angels tacked on a run in the top half of the seventh to make it 5-3, Ryan Doumit and Danny Valencia stroked back-to-back singles to leadoff the frame and chase Jered Weaver from the game.
Hisanori Takahashi (0-1) replaced Weaver and surrendered a two-run triple to Chris Parmelee to tie the game at 5-5 before Parmelee came around to score on Carroll's single to right.
Matt Capps worked around a one-out double from Torii Hunter to record his first save of the season.
Carl Pavano was touched for five runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings as the starter, while reliever Jeff Gray (1-0) got the win by retiring Peter Bourjos to end the seventh. Josh Willingham belted a two-run home run and Parmelee added two hits, two RBI and a run scored for the Twins, who avoided their first 0-5 start in franchise history.
"The bullpen came up huge and we got some big hits," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "Give credit to the guys out there, they didn't quit. We kept battling and we got the win."
Albert Pujols and Chris Iannetta knocked in a run apiece, while Bourjos hit a three-run inside-the-park homer in the fifth. Weaver made the start for the Angels, allowing five runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts in six-plus innings for LA.
"I thought [Weaver] started off strong," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think he just had a couple pitches he couldn't quite get where he wanted them to in the middle of the game and Willingham hit that home run off him and they bunched up hits."
The Angels scored first, as Pujols ripped an RBI single into left field, plating Howie Kendrick for the game's first run in the fourth.
Minnesota answered in the bottom half when Carroll got his first hit of the season, a double to left field, and Joe Mauer followed with an RBI single to tie the game.
After Justin Morneau went down on strikes, Willingham blasted his third home run of the season into the seats in left field, giving the Twins a 3-1 edge.
The Angels answered back in the top of the fifth, as Iannetta and Vernon Wells each singled before Bourjos scorched one off the wall in left field that Willingham could not get to. The left fielder crashed into the wall and came up empty, allowing Bourjos to come around to score for the three-run inside- the-park home run.
LA tacked on another in the seventh as Hunter smoked a leadoff double to center field and Iannetta plated him three batters later with a double of his own to chase Pavano from the contest Gray induced a ground out from Bourjos to leave Iannetta stranded at second.
Minnesota finished 3-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left three men on base...The Angels left two runners on base, while going 3-for-8 with RISP...Dan Haren pitches the finale on Thursday for the Angels and will be opposed by Francisco Liriano for Minnesota.

Let's Talk About the Huge Mess That Was 'Southie Rules'
Photo courtesy of A&E
A&E premiered itŌĆÖs new show "Southie Rules" on Tuesday night. The show centers on several generations of a single family all living in the same triple decker in South Boston. Previews of the show have made us alternately nervous and amused, but finally, two Boston staffers sat down to watch and discuss.
ERIC RANDALL: So ŌĆ" first impressions?
YIQING SHAO: Well, thereŌĆÖs no question that this is a scripted show. "Southie Rules" is basically "Modern Family" meets "Jersey Shore."
ERIC: Right. ItŌĆÖs not as if this is newŌĆöother reality shows are obviously semi-scripted, and sometimes they do it artfully. But itŌĆÖs actually shocking just how poorly the cast conceals that theyŌĆÖre delivering canned lines. I've watched and enjoyed my share of reality TV. This really does feel closer to a ŌĆ£mockumentaryŌĆØ in the style of "The Office" or "Modern Family" than it does to "Jersey Shore."
YIQING: Except "The Office" and "Modern Family" donŌĆÖt lead you to believe that theyŌĆÖre real. The promos for this show insinuated that it would be a ŌĆ£realŌĆØ reality show that would represent Southie and address gentrification and so on and so forth. This set of personalities and plot are completely frivolous.
ERIC: Plus "Modern Family" often has plots that are less contrived than this pilot. The cast plays an absurd game of ŌĆ£bill rouletteŌĆØ during which they draw monthly bills out of a basket (which oddly appears to contain something like 150 pieces of mail), and each family member has to pay the bill that he draws. Few of them have any apparent source of income (except whatever A&E is paying them ŌĆ"), so they come up with bizarre ways to pay their billsŌĆölike making meatballs and forcing their friends to purchase them in bulk. If ŌĆ£bill rouletteŌĆØ is some kind of South Boston tradition that I missed, please do let me know.
YIQING: Oh, did you not know that bill roulette is a thing? No, itŌĆÖs completely unrealistic. And the editors of the show did a terrible job of formulating any sort of believable story out of the pilot. That bill basket was massive and filled to the brim? So unrealistic.
ERIC: I will say this: The cast mate I most feared would descend into caricature, Devin the house bum, actually ended up the most endearing. Ads portray Devin as the "lovable mooch," a weird dude who isnŌĆÖt related to the rest of the cast, but who hangs around anyway. His role actually seems to be playing the smartest guy in the room, and I laughed aloud a couple times at his come-backs. It helps that heŌĆÖs probably the best at delivering written lines as if theyŌĆÖre spontaneous.
YIQING: Devin definitely was the brighter character, especially in comparison to Jonathan and Matt. And itŌĆÖs hard to tell whether they decided to caption him on purpose. His speech was perfectly normal, and yet they gave him subtitles … to what? Be funny or ironic? If this were Jersey Shore, heŌĆÖd be Vinnie, the ŌĆ£smartŌĆØ one. While IŌĆÖm at it, IŌĆÖll also tentatively peg Matt and Jennifer as the Ronnie and Sammi of the bunch.
ERIC: I think theyŌĆÖre trying to turn Devin into Honey Boo Boo because they literally subtitle every word that comes out of his mouth. Maybe IŌĆÖm immune to the regional accent, but IŌĆÖm pretty sure that 90 to 100 percent of what he says is perfectly comprehensible, even to a non-local.
YIQING: Too bad A&E didnŌĆÖt advertise this as a scripted show in the first place. Had I known what I was getting myself into, I mightŌĆÖve been more receptive. Instead I think we were both immediately shocked by the horrendous actingŌĆöand if there was any doubt that the show was fictional, then the mortifying and improbable run-in between mother and son that serves as the episodes punchline surely made it clear.
ERIC: Right, if youŌĆÖre going to do it, do it all the way and hire some writers. I could be convinced to watch a sitcom about Southie. Anyway, the good news here is that South Boston doesnŌĆÖt have much to worry about in the way of becoming synonymous with its reality stars. I bet actual Jersey Shore residents have a tough time escaping the stereotype of their MTV counterparts. No viewer is going to mistake this for an unedited peak into the lives of Boston people.
YIQING: I agree.
ERIC: So, what do you say? Gonna come back for episode two?
YIQING: IŌĆÖd rather toggle back to MTV and see if VinnieŌĆÖs new show centered around his Italian family is more entertaining. You?
ERIC: Morbid curiosity might bring me back to this one, but IŌĆÖm not sure IŌĆÖll have much company.

The ProShares lawsuit victory in defending the risk and operating disclosures of its inverse and leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be short-lived as an appeal is in progress. The lawsuit was decided in favour of ProShares in New York's Southern District Court, in September.
Jacob Zamansky, co-lead attorney in the intended class action lawsuit in which 32 investors sued ProShares, its executives, its underwriter and independent trustees, has confirmed to SRP that an appeal is now in progress.
An "intent to appeal" the 7 September decision by New York Southern District's Court Judge John G. Koeltl, was filed on 3 October. The full appeal will be filed in a District appellate court within the next few weeks, Zamansky confirmed.
[Related -Initial Jobless Claims Rose Unexpectedly]
"We believe the judge gave too narrow a reading to the (ETF's) materials and to the law," Zamansky told SRP. "We think the judge got this wrong." The appeal will focus on what Zamansky called the "Grand Canyon doctrine."
"If someone tells me there's a hole in the ground but I find the Grand Canyon, it is apparent there should have been a better, larger warning," he said.
A spate of lawsuits, originally filed as early as 5 August 2009, charged that ProShares misled prospective investors in its inverse and leverage ETFs by not providing the proper and necessary disclosures.
The complaints alleged that the regulatory-required registration statements for the ProShares ETF's did not warn investors that the funds were meant as a one-day trading vehicle rather than a long-term directional bet; that they inherently carried the likelihood of a "spectacular tracking error;" and that high market volatility would cause severe consequences to returns, amongst other complaints.
[Related -All Quiet on the Record High Front]
The lawsuits alleged that although some risk disclosures were present, they were completely inadequate. "…ProShares' 'greater than one-day' risk disclosure is tantamount to a kennel selling a dog that is a cat, while disclosing that the dog may have defects," one of the lawsuits charged.
In April 2010, individual lawsuits were consolidated into one and allowed to proceed.
In the September decision handed down by Judge Koeltl, he noted that the ETF documents clearly stated, "(T)he funds do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day because mathematical compounding prevents the funds from achieving such results." He added, "(A) registration statement need not disclose every possible permutation of the risk, nor predict the precise manner in which the risks will manifest themselves." Rather, "…the standard is whether a reasonably prudent investor, having read the (registration) statement, would have understood the specific risks at issue."
A spokesman for ProShares, headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, pointed SRP to the firm's earlier public comments. "We have maintained since the beginning of this case that the allegations were wholly without merit, and we are pleased that the claims have been dismissed in their entirety," said ProShares general counsel, Amy Doberman. "ProShares has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to educating investors about our products and their risks and benefits, so it is gratifying that Judge Koeltl's ruling rests on the strength and quality of our disclosures."

Calltrace, live visualization of a running software
From a semiotic point of view, sequences of 0 and 1 stored in a piece of physical computer memory code not only digital text data (images, animation) but also the instructions used to transform these data in substance of expression (pixel on the screen, audio waves from the speaker) and the instructions to translate the substance into form of expression (visual composition, verbal texts, etc). Using a well-formulated metaphor by Negroponte, we can figure these sets of instruction as "bits that speak to other bits". Intrigued by this dialogue, usually inaccessible because hidden in the computer "black box", digital artist are exploring how to visualize it. One of these artists, Adam Marks, has created an interactive art piece, Calltrace, that visualizes the functions of actual computer software. The visual translation is made of coloured boxes and lines: each box is a function in the code, each line is a function call; functions appear the first time they are called. At the center of the work is Valgrind, a Linux-based debugger and profiler. Calltrace-client is a Mac OS running custom OpenGL code to turn calls in the program into visuals. The result is a syncopated coreography, it looks like a Vj performace. As in Code Profiles by Bradford Paley, a software that displays its underlying code and comments on itself, Calltrace unveils a virtual object as the algorithms constucting this very object.

20 Ways to Be A Successful Blogger While Working Full Time (Part 3)
In my third installment of blogging tips, we're going to do some planning and outsourcing. View part one and two of the series, too!
Create an ongoing Google Doc
I absolutely live by this! I create Google docs that I can edit at any time. Since they live on the web, it's easy to update on your phone or on your computer so you can continuously work on them. I have pages like short and long term goals, blog re-design ideas, random post ideas–basically anything that comes to mind.
The old faithful editorial calendar
I work so hard to use an editorial calendar. It's something that I've never been good at. I like to plan my posts in advance, but I never really you finish. An editorial calendar is basically an idea we took from magazines. They will share a calendar of what each month's issue will contain. So you know that May will be dedicated to Spring beauty, and February is all about Valentine's day. We can do this on a much smaller scale, as bloggers. You can lay out your calendar with themes, specific posts, or whatever else you can think of.
Guest contributors
Here's an easy one! Basically you're getting people to write content for your blog so that you don't have to. If your goal is to have fresh content for your blog five days a week, see if you can have a guest post once every couple of weeks. It's also a good idea because you get the perspective of someone else. That reader might bring their own audience, too! Take the pressure off yourself!
Automate like crazy
Set up as much as you can ahead of time so that you don't have to do it in your current moment. Once you finish your blog post, schedule it in HootSuite to go to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. That way, if it goes out at 11 AM you don't actually have to do it–Hootsuite does it for you. If you knock out all the automation ahead of time then it's much easier for you to not think about it later.
Don't beat yourself up
If you don't get content up on time or everybody's upset that you're changing, It's okay. My goal is to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It almost never happens. And ya know what? Everything will be fine. Life will go on and you can always start again.

Piperlime -- the shoe fits, Gap wears it
Send this to a friend
- Sarah Duxbury
Gap Inc. is about to step into the shoe business with Piperlime.
The San Francisco-based retailer's fifth brand is a wild departure from the four brands Gap Inc. has successfully created to date. For one thing, it is entirely web-based; there will be no Piperlime stores. For another, it will sell shoes designed, manufactured and branded by other companies.
The whole shebang is set to go live Oct. 16, though Gap Inc. would only confirm it will start selling shoes by November.
Alex Clark, a Gap spokesman, said that 100 brands have already signed to sell their shoes on Piperlime; among them are Mephisto, Taryn Rose and Anyi Lu. Umi Shoes, a fast-growing children's shoe brand that grew from the ashes of Elefanten, signed on to Piperlime before it even had a name on the basis of its Gap pedigree.
Piperlime differs from existing shoe sites like Zappos.com or Nordstrom.com by providing an edited selection of designer and casual brands rather than every style a given shoe maker offers. It's this selection of specific shoe styles with Gap customers in mind that Clark said will make the brand successful, especially since Gap customers have long asked the company to sell more shoes. "Now we're able to dress our customers from head to toe, and that's something they said they wanted," Clark said.
Piperlime customers will pay no postage, and purchases will arrive with a pre-paid return label should the shoe not fit.
The new brand is an opportunity for Gap Inc. to leverage the new e-commerce platform it built last year. Online sales in the second quarter of 2006 were up 27 percent from the previous year, due to the new site.
