Kiku Japanese Cuisine nabbed numerous accolades in Express Milkwaukee ?s Best of Milwaukee 2012 and 2013 for lavishing guests with both a friendly staff that jots orders until 3 a.m. on weekends, and a vast menu of seafood-centric cuisine. Sushi chefs roll up more than 40 fillings into artfully plated sushi rolls, crowning their creations with creative flourishes such as fresh mango. Fish and vegetables can also transform from raw to sizzling with a dunk into tempura batter, which imparts a crispy golden sheen and keeps chopsticks too busy to assist with walrus impersonations.
Inside Sake Tumi's main dining room and private banquet areas, guests sample everything from colorful sashimi to peppered tenderloin. During dinner, the menu is home to a variety of Japanese classics such as sushi rolls, as well as Korean barbecue dishes including beef bulgogi. Midday visitors can order up traditional bento boxes during lunch, which neatly pack soup, salad, and sides alongside various entrees.
Pacific Bistro leads diners through a whirlwind tour of Asia with a menu loaded with hibachi, sushi, and traditional Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, and Chinese dishes. Begin Eastward adventures by pairing a crab rangoon ($7) starter or edamame ($4) with a libation from the full bar and a field trip permission slip signed by the president. Once tummies are prepped, diners can choose their own adventure with a la carte sushi ($4–$8 for two pieces) or hand the reins to a licensed knife wielder for a carefully diced teriyaki chicken hibachi dinner ($18). Or furnish tables with sumptuous entrees such as pad thai noodles ($12 for chicken, pork, or beef; $14 for shrimp), crispy duck ($25), and mango curry ($14 for chicken, pork, or beef; $16 for shrimp). Meanwhile, diapered diners can use highchairs as a launching pad for launching shrimp tempura ($8) grenades and tossing fried rice ($6–$7) confetti at newlywed birds.
After sharpening his culinary skills in his native Japan at Monsel Ton Ton Restaurant in Tokyo and the five-star Westin Osaka, Chef Yamamoto Lee relocated to Milwaukee, where he now brings nearly 30 years of culinary experience to the kitchen at Midori Fusion. The eatery, which was featured as the Restaurant of the Month by Key Milwaukee, satiates cravings for Japanese cuisine with an extensive menu of appetizers—such as fried bean curd and tempura squid—and traditional entrees, including beef short ribs, tempura shrimp, and salmon teriyaki. Chef Lee also creates more than 70 classic and unique sushi and sashimi options, from a spicy tuna roll to the no-carb roll wrapped in crabmeat and Dr. Atkins' diploma.
At South Kawa Japanese Restaurant, sushi isn't just a delight for the mouth; it's a feast for the eyes. Bold colors and delicate flavors intermingle as chefs spool fresh fish and rice into more than 40 types of maki rolls, including specialties such as the American Eagle, a mélange of king crab, spicy tuna, asparagus, and two types of roe. Plates of sashimi can be made to order from more than 20 varieties of sea fare, such as yellowtail, octopus, and freshwater eel. Hot starters such as steamed seafood shumai and pan-fried chicken gyoza pair nicely with cool beverages, which diners can bring from home or squeeze from low-hanging rain clouds.
SakeZake's fusion of ancient and contemporary tastes extends from the robust menu of specialty sushi rolls to the artfully minimalist dining-room decor. Executive Chef Ahn Yung Jin's classic nigiri shares menu space with specialty rolls that combine fresh fish with eye-catching ingredients such as tempura flakes, jalapeño, and diamond chips. Mock shoji screens and lacquered red chairs give the dining room the air of a modish teahouse, while the funky hourglass lamps keep things as fresh as the sushi-bar offerings. The lounge-like atmosphere is no accident, as SakeZake is open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mike Thompson
Mike Thompson begins his 20th season as the head men's and women's track and field coach in 2014-15. During his tenure, he has guided Binghamton from the NCAA Division III level to its current status on the Division I level. In the process, he has achieved the rare accomplishment of having coached a national champion at all three NCAA Division levels.
Since Binghamton moved up to the NCAA Division I level in 2001, Thompson has had the track & field program on solid ground. Under his leadership, the Bearcats have produced 45 America East Conference individual champions during the indoor season and 47 during the outdoor campaign. In both 2008, 2011 and 2014 Thompson and his assistants were named America East Conference Men's Indoor Coaching Staff of the Year. In 2014, Thompson and his staff earned the same honor during the outdoor season. 2013 the first time that they received the America East Coaching Women's Staff of the Year, which they earned during the outdoor season.
Thompson's crowning moment as a head coach, however, came on March 14, 2008 when Rory Quiller captured the NCAA Indoor pole vault title. It marked the third time Quiller earned All-America honors and fifth time he qualified for the NCAA Championship. As a result of Quiller's outstanding efforts, Binghamton placed 28th at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Meet and 22nd at the 2008 Indoor Meet.
Under Thompson's guidance, Binghamton has also posted 37 qualifiers for the NCAA East Region Outdoor Championships, including four relay teams. Rory Quiller won the 2007 pole vault title and placed fourth in the 2006 meet.
During the past eight years, Binghamton has earned 16 major individual honors from the America East following the championships. During that same stretch, the men's team has been the runner-up at the America East Indoor Championships six times and at the outdoor meet three times. The women's squad, meanwhile, was the outdoor runner-up in 2013 and was second at the indoor championships the following year.
In the classroom, members of the Binghamton track & field program have been just as consistent. Quiller was named the America East Scholar Athlete of the Year in both 2007 and 2008. Since 2006, 38 members of the men's team and 36 women have been inducted into the National College Athlete Honors Society. During that same span, Binghamton has posted 25 America East Winter Academic Team selections and 26 Spring Academic Team picks. In both 2008 and 2012, the Binghamton team posted the highest GPA among any track squad in the America East Conference. The Bearcat women's track team accomplished the same feat in 2010.
Even before Binghamton moved up to the NCAA Division I level, Thompson's impact on its track & field program was already significant. He coached six NCAA Division III champions and one winner at the 1999 NCAA Division II meet. Binghamton also had five All-Americans at the NCAA Division II level and 42 All-Americans at the NCAA Division III level.
Binghamton recorded a 10th-place finish at the 1999 NCAA Division II men's indoor meet and was eighth at both the men's Division III indoor and outdoor championships in 1998. On the women's side, Binghamton was sixth in the NCAA Division III indoor championships in both 1996 and 1997 before placing a program-best third at the 1998 indoor meet.
In addition to his America East Coach of the Year award last season, numerous honors have come Thompson's way during his tenure at Binghamton. In 1998, he was named New York State Coach of the Year for both men's indoor and outdoor track. Thompson also was selected as NCAA Division III Regional Coach of the Year indoors and outdoors. Two years prior, he was named NCAA National Coach of the Year. In 1997, Thompson earned his first New York State Coach of the Year honor after his men were runners-up outdoors.
Thompson also served as the men's cross country head coach for four seasons, before handing over the reins in 1999. Prior to assuming the head coaching duties, Thompson was BU's assistant cross country/track coach during the 1994-95 season.
A former two-time national track champion for the University of Northern Colorado, Thompson served as jumps coach at UNC in 1993, helping produce eight All-Americans and three NCAA champions.
As an athlete, Thompson captured both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Division II pole vault titles in 1989. He was a three-time All-American, four-time conference champion, and still holds the UNC pole vault record at 17-7 1/4. In 2003, he was inducted into the Northern Colorado Hall of Fame.
Thompson holds a bachelor's degree in communications and a master's in physical education, both from UNC. In addition, he also has USA Track and Field Level II Certification in the Jumps, Sprints/Hurdles and Throws. In addition, Thompson has been published in the Winter 2003 edition of Track Coach. The article, which is Thompson's first published work, is entitled "Troubleshooting the Pole Vault."
Thompson has won four pole vault titles at the Empire State Games (1995, 1996, 1997 and 2004). He and his wife, Sarah, and their two children, Kelly (14) and Rory (11) live in Binghamton.

1992-93: Assistant Track & Field Coach, University of Northern Colorado
Annette Acuff
Since Annette Acuff was hired as assistant track & field coach and head cross country coach in 2000, Binghamton has built a successful Division I distance program from the ground up.
Since 2002, the men's distance runners have won 13 individual conference titles and compiled 45 all-conference selections. This includes 11 titles alone the past five years.
The men's distance program has been instrumental in Binghamton earning runner-up team finishes in five of the last six America East Indoor Track Meets as well as at the 2010-12 outdoor championships. At the conclusion of the 2008, 2011 and 2014 indoor track seasons, as well as the 2012 outdoor track campaign, Acuff was part of the men's coaching staff that was voted the best in the America East Conference.
On the women's side, Acuff has had seven different runners earn all-conference honors in a total of 12 events since she took over the program. This includes one individual title and five runner-up performances. In 2013, Acuff was part of the America East Women's Outdoor Track Coaching Staff of the Year.
Without question, however, it was the 2011 indoor track campaign that was Acuff's crowning moment as a track coach. The USTFCCCA named her as Northeast Region Men's Indoor Track Assistant Coach of the Year. During that season, she coached van Ingen to a fifth-place finish in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships, marking the first time a Binghamton distance runner has earned Division I All-America honors. van Ingen went on to earn first-team All-America honors three more times during his career. Acuff also was named the USTFCCCA Men's Northeast Region Outdoor Assistant Coach of the Year in 2012.
Under Acuff's watch, both van Ingen and Jesse Garn have broken four minutes in the mile. Each of them has also competed in the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games.
Equally impressive has been Acuff's role as the head cross country coach. She guided the Bearcat men's team to the 2009 America East championship, runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2014 as well as a third-place finish in 2008. During the past six years, Binghamton posted 10 all-conference selections, including the 2009 individual champion in van Ingen. Acuff's work has not gone unnoticed by her peers as she was voted the America East Coach of the Year in 2009.
On the regional level, the Bearcat men's cross country team has been ranked in the USTFCCCA Northeast Region from four times in the past six seasons. It finished a program-best eighth at the 2009 regional meet and was 10th last year. van Ingen, meanwhile advanced to the NCAA Division Championship twice during his career and finished 43rd overall at the 2010 national meet.
The women's cross country team had the top freshman finisher at the 2009 America East Cross Country Meet and has posted six all-conference selections since 2004. In addition, the Bearcat women have had two All-Northeast Region selections as well as the 2006 ECAC individual champion.
Acuff came to Binghamton from the University of Northern Colorado, where she was the assistant women's cross country coach for three years. During that span, she coached one cross country All-American and three All-American distance runners in track. Under Acuff's leadership, the Bears enjoyed back-to-back NCAA Division II Championship appearances, placing 10th in 1997 and 14th in 1998. In the five years prior to her arrival at Northern Colorado, the program had not advanced to the national meet.
In 1997, Northern Colorado's coaching staff was selected as North Central Region Coaches of the Year. Acuff also was an assistant men's and women's track coach for three years, handling the distance runners.
A former NCAA Division I runner, Acuff earned all-conference honors in indoor track two straight years in the 1,000 meters at Oklahoma (1992-93). Acuff was also an Academic All-Big Eight selection four times (1991-94).
Acuff received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Oklahoma in 1995, and went on to earn her master's degree in physical education, with an emphasis in sports psychology, from Northern Colorado in May 2000. She received her Level I and Level II U.S. Track & Field Certification in 1999 and 2001 respectively.

Sentance says inflation could rise above 5% this year
Monetary Policy Committee external member Andrew Sentance believes CPI inflation could rise above 5 per cent this year.
Giving a speech at the Confederation of British Industry's annual lunch in Suffolk today, Sentance, who has called for the base rate to be increased since last June, said gradual increases in interest rates would counter inflation and avoid an "abrupt" rise in the future.
His announcement follows news that CPI inflation had jumped to 4.4 per cent in February, its highest level since 2008. In February, Bank of England governor Mervyn King suggested inflation of "somewhere between 4 and 5 per cent" in the coming months.
Sentance said: "We have heard the news today that CPI inflation has risen again - to 4.4 per cent - and it could easily rise to 5 per cent later this year."
"In this environment, with inflation running very considerably above its target level and set to rise further, failure to take timely monetary policy action risks a more abrupt and destabilising rise in interest rates in the future."

How divorced from ground zero are these people?
I believe that the bank of England (Excluding Senatance) are doing the right thing. They are in the position to act if needs be without a rebel like Senatance interupting. You do not see instant results when dealing with the mess they have got..
Terry, do you mean "when dealing with the mess they have created"?

Blackhawks close out 6-1 circus trip with romp over Coyotes
By Mark Lazerus Staff Reporter November 30, 2013 9:40PM
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: November 30, 2013 11:50PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Thirteen days and 1,800 miles removed from Chicago, the Blackhawks found themselves feeling oddly at home, their hotel swarmed by jersey-wearing fans lining the halls, lurking in the common areas, and lingering in the elevator lobbies. The largest crowd in Coyotes history, an evenly split 17,321 — a number bolstered by both the home team's strong start and the visiting team's strong drawing power — packed Jobing.com Arena.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we had more fans than them," Brandon Bollig said. "It's crazy. It's always like that here."
What those fans saw was a first period in which the Hawks looked nothing like a team at the tail end of a grueling trip, then a second period in which the Hawks looked every bit like a team at the tail end of a grueling trip.
In the end, they saw a result that looked just like nearly all the others on the trip — a Hawks win.
The 5-2 victory on Saturday was the Hawks' sixth straight since they dropped the first game of the trip in Colorado. Their 6-1-0 record is believed to be the Hawks' best record ever on the annual circus trip. Only last year's 4-0-2 mark on the ice-show trip can even compare.
Rookie goalie Antti Raanta made 31 saves for his second career victory in as many starts, and Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Duncan Keith each had two points.
"It's a long time to be away from home, but for us to hang in there and focus on hockey and worry about our jobs and what we had to do, it was good to see," Kane said. "It didn't start off the way we wanted, but it definitely finished the way we wanted."
Coming off two straight sluggish starts in Calgary and Dallas, the Hawks came out flying in the first period, jumping out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Kane, Andrew Shaw and Niklas Hjalmarsson in what coach Joel Quenneville deemed their best first period of the season.
Keith had an assist on each of the first two goals, giving him a seven-game point streak. He has at least a point in 17 of his last 20 games, and has 23 assists on the season — the same amount as Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. And Raanta was strong from the start, having much less difficulty controlling his emotions in this one than in his first start on Wednesday against the Flames.
"It was much easier to play today than in Calgary," he said.
Even the Hawks didn't expect to have so much energy at the start.
"I'll tell you what, I was surprised," Bollig said. "Most of us didn't get to bed until after 3 or 4 o'clock this morning [after playing in Dallas on Friday night and immediately flying to Phoenix]. It's not ideal when that happens. It's nice that we came out and had plenty of energy and popped three goals in the first."
But the Coyotes flipped the script in the second, outshooting the Hawks 17-7 and dominating play. Former Hawks prospect Rob Klinkhammer got Phoenix on the board, then Martin Hanzal cut the Hawks lead to 3-2 with a power-play goal.
But Bollig ripped a shot in the top inside corner of the net midway through the third period to give the Hawks some breathing room, and Hossa added an empty-netter to close out a sweet circus trip and make for a happy late-night flight back to Chicago.
"We loved the trip," Quenneville said. "The consistency is what we're appreciating, and the energy and the enthusiasm in the locker room and on the bench is as good as we've seen it here. It's been very positive."

Interviewee: Bernadette Jackson Ford
Interviewers: Dr. Mark Naison and Natasha Lightfoot
Date of interview July 28, 1006
Summarized by Alice Stryker
Bernadette begins the interview by talking about her parents coming to New York. Both grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and met when they were younger. Neither one of them said that they felt the sting of segregation, and were in New York when most of the civil rights activities were occurring in Birmingham. When they moved to New York, they moved to Harlem with her father's cousins.
She is the oldest of three and was born in 1958. She grew up on Gunther Avenue, in the Valley Section of the Bronx. The neighborhood was very safe and the neighbors all knew each other. The family attended church every Sunday at the Metropolitan United Methodist Church in Harlem. However, they stopped attending that church when the area became more dangerous, when she was 13.
Her parents always told her she was going to go to college, even though she was not that good of a student and was more interested in her dance classes at Dorothy's Dance School. She attended PS 76 for elementary school and had to be bussed there. The community was not happy about this, and after a fight with the school board, Ford and her neighbors began attending PS 97. The reason they had to go to this school was for integration purposes. The white members of the community were not happy about this. However, she still had many white friends in school.
Around 5th grade there was an influx of Caribbean peoples to her neighborhood. She did not notice a lot of tension between the African-Americans and the Caribbean people, but it was definitely present. She claims that it was because of them that marijuana started to come into the Bronx.
She went to junior high school at Michelangelo, or I.S 144. This was close enough where the children could walk to school. There was not much of a difference between her grade school experience and her junior high school experience. This was a brand new school and so children from all over the Bronx came to the school. At this time, she got involved with cheerleading.
She went to Evander for High School, a school that had a bad reputation. The dating scene was still formal, meaning that boyfriends had to come to her house and meet her parents before they could go on a date. This was also the time of disco, so her and her friends would often go to the clubs around the Bronx and dance. She also mentions DJ's in the parks witnessing the beginnings of Hip-hop.
She went to college at Old Westbury on Long Island, where she lived on campus. There, she met her future husband, who was from Manhattan. She was an education major and upon graduating immediately got involved with teaching. Although she did her student teaching on Long Island, she felt she wanted to teach in the Bronx.
She thinks kids now have had a much different experience then she had when she went to public school. She has taught at CS 6 for 20 years. Where she has seen shifts in drug culture, teen prostitutes, and has taught former "crack babies."

August 2011 Ezine - "Kolam" the popular Indian household art

Namaskar ,
Well so we are making news, its official....Dallas this year has a record high temperatures...(its been 100 +F for the last few weeks and if it continues to be soo till this weekend we would break the 1980 record of 100+F for continous 31 days) We have whole month of August before any signs of respite from the heat....
Back home in India August is the time for celebrations... a number of auspicious days and festivals (the birthdays of Lord SriKrishna and Lord Ganesha) and our Independence Day. Celebrations mean yummy delicacies and decorating our home to welcome the Gods.
Floor art is one most important forms of decorating homes in India. They are called by different names in different languages in India - Kolam in (Tamil) Tamil Nadu, Muggulu in (Telugu) Andhra pradesh, Rangavalli in (Kanada) Karnataka, Poovidal or Pookalam in (Malayalam) Kerala, Chowkpurana in Uttar Pradesh, Madana in Rajasthan, Aripana in (Bihari) Bihar and Alpana in (Bengali) Bengal and more commonly known as Rangoli in many parts of India. It is also interesting to note that each region has its own style and subject for patterns and drawings, also the floor art often becomes wall art in some regions.
Like North Indian Rangoli , is extremely colorful, while an average South Indian Kolam is all about, symmetry, precision and complexity, providing good exercise to your eyes and mind, if you wish to figure out how it was made.
Kolam is drawn using rice flour or rice floor paste or white stone sand by female members of the family in the front yard of their home. It is an ancient Indian art of small to elaborate patterns made of dots and lines. It is a household art, the skill and patterns are often passed on generation to generation, from mother to daughter so nobody can really put a date to the origin of this tradition or art (refence to this art has been made in both the ancient Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharta).
Being a south Indian my floor art drawings are usually a geometrical line drawings composed of curved loops, drawn around or guided by a grid pattern of dots. I learned my patterns from my mother, grandmother, cousins and school mates. But one of my neighbor a very old lady taught me few free hand floor art which were built on circles and were in the form of abstract flower. I enjoyed making them since I found them very creative and also because I did not had to remember the number or the sequence of dots for any of the patterns.
It is also considered the symbolic way of welcoming the guests and the Hindu God and Goddess into the house. Especially Lakshmi, the goddess of rice and wealth. The goddess has the power to attract prosperity and to prevent poverty from entering the home. So, Kolams are thought to bestow prosperity to homes.
On any regular day in southern India, women start their day with drawing kolams on the ground in front of their home with white sand. Through the day, the drawings get walked on, rained out, or blown around in the wind; new ones are made the next day. Every morning before sunrise, he muddy floor is swept well for an even surface and the floor is cleaned with water, the universal purifier.The kolams are generally drawn while the surface is still damp so that it is held better. Occasionally, cow-dung is also used to wax the floors. In some cultures in India cow dung is believed to have antiseptic properties and hence provides a literal threshold of protection for the home. The muddy green cow dung provides contrast to the white powder.
my dear mum making Kolam in the front yard....Pic courtesy dad..
do you see yet another Kolam at the back...
It is believed, kolams is drawn with coarse rice flour, so that the ants don't have to work so hard for a meal. The rice powder is said to invite birds and other small critters to eat it, thus inviting other beings into one's home and everyday life: a daily tribute to harmonious co-existence.
The ritual kolam patterns created for occasions such as weddings and temple ceremonies can stretch all the way down streets. During festivals they adorn not just the front yard but also the courtyard and backyard of the house. One month ahead of Sankranti (the Hindu Harvest festival )from around December 15 to Jan 15 women make exceptionally elaborate patterns the entire month as it is also a holy month in the Hindu calender.
With the advent of flats, apartment and super fast lives in major cities this art is slowly dying. Yet for now no wedding, festival or celebration is complete with out the floor art.

Drugmakers Pfizer Inc. and Novartis AG said fourth-quarter earnings stalled as demand slowed for older products including Pfizer's cholesterol pill Lipitor, the world's best-selling medicine.
Net income for Pfizer, the world's biggest drug maker, fell 3 percent to $2.73 billion, or 37 cents a share, as revenue dropped 9 percent. The stock rose because cost reductions helped Pfizer beat analysts' profit estimates by 21 percent.

13 5-Minute Updos for Day or Night
No matter the occasionor lack thereofyou'll look gorgeous with one these celeb-inspired 'dos that only looks like it took hours to create.
By Andrea Fowler
Rosario Dawson
The secret to this sexy but effortless style? Start with hair you haven't washed for a few days, says Kusero. Begin by spraying dry shampoo on your roots, then wrap 10 or so random pieces around a curling iron. Finish by pulling hair back loosely, letting a few hairs fall out, and pinning sections around the base.

Transition resources and Shallat Retreat information
In July, many congregations begin or continue the process of rabbinic transition. The URJ can help congregational leaders and clergy through this process.
Why focus on our rabbinic transition?
Focusing on rabbinic transition in your congregation's life allows you to create a deliberate, meaningful, thoughtful and strategic plan for helping your
congregational family welcome your new rabbi (and family) into your sacred community. Equally important, it can help your new rabbi understand your
congregation's unique system and culture. Such a strategy can help ensure the success of your congregation and will improve both the longevity of your
rabbi's tenure and depth of impact in your congregation.
Who will benefit from this program?
Your entire congregational community will benefit from a concentrated focus on transition. The Shallat Retreat is open to rabbis and congregational
presidents (or incoming presidents) currently in their first year of rabbinic transition.
What is the Shallat Retreat?
The Shallat Retreat is a highly subsidized two-day retreat for congregational presidents and their new rabbis in the winter of
their first year together. Rabbis and presidents will be provided time to "retreat" and assess their developing partnership. Specialists in the field of
rabbinic transition and succession management will lead the rabbi/president teams through topics such as listening to your constituency, building
partnerships (lay and professional), mutual and ongoing review in the synagogue, vision and others.
During the Retreat you can expect:
When and where is the retreat?
January 26-27, 2014 at the Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport. We will begin at 9 a.m. on the morning of January 26th. Rooms will be available leading up to
and after the retreat at a discounted rate. Hotel for the nights of January 25 and 26 are included with your registration fee.
What is the cost of this retreat?
The Shallat Retreat on Rabbinic Transition is being offered at a reduced rate and is partially funded by a grant from the Shallat/Rapaport Foundation. The
registration cost is $300 per congregation including two nights double occupancy hotel for two people plus all meals and program. Single rooms are
available for $525 per congregation.
Here's what a recent Shallat retreat rabbi-president team had to say about the experience:
The conference was fantastic and gives (the president) and me a shared language. We drove home together and talked for a few hours about some of the
theoretical principals as introduced (systems theory, congregational size, leadership styles) and were able to relate them directly to our own
congregation. I am delighted that the URJ continues to provide such high level programming. I am grateful that generous folks like the Shallats
continue to help my colleagues at the URJ bring their expertise to the people out here in congregation-land. Kol Ha Kavod to all.
As an attendee at this past weekend's Shallat Rabbinic Transition Retreat, I would like to take this moment to thank Rabbi David for developing and
facilitating this excellent program. Both (the rabbi) and I found the material to be very engaging - we continued our discussion through our three-hour
trip back to our congregation! I also would like to thank Rabbi Bart and Jane Shallat and the Shallat-Rapaport Foundation for their extremely generous
funding of this program. Without such funding it is doubtful that we would have been able to attend. I sincerely hope that they continue to support
this very important program

It took two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation for the news to officially reach Texas on June 19, 1865. The delay obviously was because the Civil War didn't end until that April.It has been 14 years since the state Legislature commissioned a monument to commemorate that event and, although completed in 2005, the sculpture has never been placed on the Capitol grounds. The reason is that the battle surrounding it has lasted a lot longer than the Civil War.The five-piece monument featuring a lawmaker, preacher, woman and a farmer and his daughter will likely never take its place on the south lawn of the Capitol, a decision applauded by many. The Texas Juneteenth Cultural and Historical Commission, created by the Legislature to oversee the project, was decommissioned two years ago.The statues stood in a field outside a foundry in Bastrop until recently, when they were moved to a warehouse in Austin. Ironically, the massive Tejano Monument, which was installed at the Capitol last year, was authorized two years after approval of the Juneteenth memorial.The $1 million Juneteenth project met opposition almost immediately on completion, criticized for being historically inaccurate, non-inspiring and for the fact that the lawmaker figure bore a striking resemblance to state Rep. Al Edwards, the Houston legislator who sponsored the bill to create it. The "Law Maker" was reworked and replaced at the request of the Juneteenth commission but, The Texas Tribune reported, the replacement was also problematic because the statue is holding a document labeled "House Bill 1016," Edwards' 1979 bill making Juneteenth a state holiday. The original "Law Maker" has been placed on city property in Galveston where Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger announced that "all slaves are free."Critics say other inaccurate depictions, although "minor," show the farmer dressed in bib overalls and the woman in a high-collared dress, clothes they say were not worn in the 1860s.With Edwards out of office, and the bickering continuing, the Legislature in 2011 repealed the Juneteenth project and authorized an African-American Texans memorial monument to focus on contributions by blacks in Texas rather than celebrate just one specific event.A non-profit organization, the Texas African American History Memorial Foundation, is in charge of the new project and is responsible for raising most of the $2.5 million needed to complete it. I don't know how much of the money has been raised, as Austin attorney Bill Jones, who chairs the group, was out of town Tuesday and unavailable for comment.Original plans called for having the new sculpture dedicated by 2014. But wait. This battle is far from over.Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, an ardent history buff who co-sponsored the bill for the Juneteenth monument when he was a state senator, fired a shot on June 19 to save the original sculpture."This day is about liberty, and that is something every Texan should support," he said. "Let's get it done."He declared that the "back of a government warehouse is no place for monuments to individual liberty. Let's reunite these statues and give Texas Emancipation the public recognition it deserves."Patterson, an announced candidate for lieutenant governor who is no stranger to controversy, said in an email message that because there have been so many missteps, it will take legislative action to get the statues erected at the Capitol."As Ltgov in 2015, I will get it done," he said.I tend to agree with Patterson that something needs to be done, but I'm not sure what to do if work is already started on a new sculpture.At the very least, a home should be found for the original pieces, individually or collectively, at an educational institution, county or municipality as was suggested to Austin-American Statesman writer Ken Herman by John Sneed, executive director of the State Preservation Board.That makes more sense than keeping them in a government warehouse.

Limitless – The Reboot : Diversity
After wowing audiences last winter with their astounding 'Limitless' arena tour, Diversity head out on their 'Limitless – The Reboot' tour, a fully improved and updated version of their critically acclaimed show.
Since winning Britain's Got Talent in 2009, Diversity have won numerous awards, been the first act to perform outside No. 10 Downing Street in front of the Prime Minister and have sold out three UK & Ireland tours - 'Diversity's: Bringing A Toy Story To Life' and 'Digitized – Trapped In The Game', and 'Limitless'.
Their previous tours saw them travelling the length of the country performing for their legion of devoted fans, and delivering exceptional entertainment with some stand out reviews. Normally incorporating several genres of music from classical to hip-hop, their diverse eye-catching routines won the hearts of the nation. So far they've performed live to over 1 million people across the world.
This new arena tour will be everything you already love about Diversity on a much bigger scale, with loads of surprises! Don't miss out!
UK Street Dance Champions 2007 and winners of ITV's Britain's Got Talent 2009. Formed in 2007, the dance troupe consists of eleven members from East London and the Essex area. They are made up of three sets of brothers: Ashley and Jordan Banjo, Ian, Jamie and Matthew McNaughton, and Sam and Mitchell Craske, along with four of their best friends: Terry Smith, Ike Ezekwugo, Warren Russell and Perri Luc Kiely.

Pune realty businesses want govt to promote affordabilityMar 14, 2012, 04:50PM IST
Featured Today
Real estate businesses are looking forward to the forthcoming Union Budget 2012 in the expectation that it will contain some pragmatic provisions that will lower effective price barriers for home-seekers.
Real estate developers say the city continues to face problems including high lending rates and construction costs, insufficient infrastructure and lack of affordable housing. Broader incentives for development of affordable housing
are needed, to encourage more developers to become active in this important sector and increase the supply of budget homes in the city, the developers said.
Anil Pharande, vice-president of Credai (Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India) Pune Metro said that on a macro level, a higher allocation of infrastructure funds for housing can be a favourable approach. "The government can set clear guidelines on timely commencement and completion of projects and link disbursement of these funds with adherence to these guidelines," he said.
Pharande said removal of the 10 per cent service tax on residential real estate construction, which increases the cost of new homes by as much as 3 per cent, is critical for a cost-sensitive market like Pune, which has a sizeable lower mid-income segment.
The 1 per cent interest rate subsidy on home loans can also work as a good measure to bring affordability, Pharande said, adding that the present eligibility limit of loan amount of Rs 20 lakh should be raised to Rs 30 lakh. Such a step will help people think about buying apartments of decent sizes, Pharande argued. Reducing taxes such as excise, VAT and stamp duty on real estate will also make home purchase attractive, he added.
Also important would be reducing tax burden on rental income, to put a downward pressure on rents which are currently very high, Pharande said. He also said the Reseerve Bank's restrictions on project finance available to developers is adding to housing cost as developers have to borrow from expensive private sources.
According to Rohit Gera, managing director of Gera Development, the data about Pune's residential real estate sector indicates that there is no scope for any reduction in prices. "The real question is the customers' ability to afford the increased prices. The fact that homes are needed is not the question – the real question is whether the aspirations of home-buyers can be met on the basis of affordability," Gera said. Given the direction of inflation, indications from the RBI that interest rates will soften, the current cost structure for developers and most importantly, the overall stock position and price movement in 2011, Pune will see a price rise of 15 to 18 per cent during 2012, Gera said.
Sanjay Bajaj, managing director for Pune at the real estate advisory firm Jones Lang LaSalle India, said Pune's property market has been displaying remarkably resilient investment fundamentals. Due to the steady demand, the expected rate reduction in residential real estate has not materialized; in fact, there have been selective increases in many well-located and configured projects by branded developers.
Echoing Pharande, Bajaj said the 1 per cent interest rate subsidy which was provided for loans on affordable housing last year should be expanded to include a wider price band of budget housing. "We also suggest that more funds be allocated to infrastructure formation, which would help unlock the inherent value of the property markets in Pune's peripheral areas," he said.
"The highest demand for Pune residential real estate comes from its significantly large corpus of low-to-mid income buyers. As such, this market is extremely sensitized to price and interest rate fluctuations that would not have as much of an impact in larger metros," Bajaj said.

To reduce the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the levels required for carbon dioxide (CO2) stabilization requires the development of fuels with lower fossil carbon content.1 Such fuels could then augment improvements in the fuel economy of our vehicles.
Electrification addresses both energy security and climate change concerns, because electricity can be made from a wide variety of fuels, including domestic sources and renewable energy. Electrification also offers flexibility in tailoring lower-carbon solutions based on locally available fuels and technology options like carbon capture and storage.
Ford foresees a future that includes a variety of electrified vehicles, something we call "Power of Choice." We are electrifying existing, traditional vehicle lines rather than creating unique electrified vehicle models. This way, our customers can choose from a variety of vehicle powertrains, including hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and full battery electric vehicles. Our comprehensive electrification strategy touches all aspects of the electrification ownership experience, seeking to make it engaging, empowering and easy to live with. Ford is working with partners such as Best Buy, Microsoft and MapQuest to help transition customers easily to a new form of transportation.
In late 2010, Ford delivered the initial units of its first all-electric vehicle – the Transit Connect Electric. Full production of the Transit Connect Electric will ramp up in the U.S. in 2011. Also in 2011, the Ford Focus Electric, Ford's global, all-electric car, will be sold in 19 initial U.S. markets, then expand to Europe. In 2012, we will launch our next generation of hybrids, which will include the C-MAX Hybrid, the plug-in C-MAX Energi hybrid and another hybrid, all of which will use next-generation lithium-ion batteries. In Europe, we plan to deliver the same five full-electric or hybrid vehicles by 2013.
In early 2011, we announced an innovative charging station for the Focus Electric, developed jointly with Leviton, which allows the Ford Focus Electric to charge in just over three hours when using a 240V charge station installed in the customer's garage – half the time that it takes our competitors to charge up.
By 2020, we expect that 10 to 25 percent of Ford's global sales will be composed of electrified vehicles. This includes battery electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, with the majority coming from hybrid vehicles, and plug-in hybrids seeing the most significant share increase.
Expanding electrification holds tremendous promise, but a range of implementation challenges must be considered. These challenges relate to cost, battery technology, the development of charging infrastructure, the interface with utilities and how to ensure that potential emissions-reduction benefits are realized. Ford is working with municipalities and electric utility partners to address many of these challenges.
Please see the Electrification section for a full discussion of electrification issues and our approach to bringing electric vehicles to market.
Biofuel use is expanding globally, with bioethanol made from corn, beets or sugar cane substituting for gasoline, and biodiesel derived from plant oils substituting for diesel fuel. In the U.S. in 2007, federal legislation expanded the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), mandating a significant increase in the use of biofuels by 2022.
While current corn-based bioethanol production in the U.S. is estimated to provide a modest (˜20 percent) reduction in vehicle GHG emissions on a well-to-wheels basis, next-generation biofuels such as lignocellulosic bioethanol could offer up to a 90 percent GHG reduction benefit.2 Building a substantial fleet of flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs) provides a bridge to the widespread use of lower-carbon biofuels in the future.
Ford has a long history of developing vehicles that run on renewable biofuels. We produced the first flexible-fuel vehicle approximately 100 years ago: a Model T capable of running on gasoline or ethanol. Ford offers 23 models in North America, South America, Europe and Asia that can run on ethanol blends greater than E10 (i.e., containing 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline). Ford has manufactured more than five million FFVs, including 3 million in the U.S. and nearly 2 million in Brazil.
In Europe, Ford is a market leader and pioneer in bioethanol-powered FFVs, with more than 70,000 vehicles delivered to customers since 2001. Ford FFV models are now available in many European markets that offer a dedicated fuel infrastructure.
In certain Asian markets, Ford offers models that are capable of operating on E20.
In the U.S., we met our commitment to doubling the number of FFVs in our lineup by 2010, and we are continuing to produce substantial numbers of E85 flexible fuel vehicles.
Alternative fuels pose a classic chicken-and-egg problem – automakers can produce a range of products capable of running on fuels with varying carbon content, but the benefits are only realized if energy providers bring the fuels to market and consumers demand both the vehicle and the fuel. Since 2006, Ford has produced more than 1.5 million flexible fuel vehicles. Yet today, less than 2 percent of refueling stations in the U.S. offer E85. And the policy shift to increase ethanol blends rather than increase E85 availability creates questions about the potential growth and viability of E85. Furthermore, the development and production of FFVs increases engineering workload and vehicle cost. This investment into FFVs becomes increasingly difficult to justify, particularly if fuel availability is not developing.
The lack of progress on E85 has increased the focus on mid-level ethanol blends. The potential introduction of such blends creates an opportunity to increase the octane rating of the new fuel. Ethanol has an octane rating greater than today's gasoline, so that when the fuels are mixed, the resulting fuel blend should have higher octane than base gasoline. Many of today's advanced engines currently on the road are programmed to improve the efficiency of the engine just short of the point where the consumer would experience engine knock. For such engines, an increase in the octane rating of the fuel would result in improved vehicle efficiency. Further improvement to engine efficiency (through increased compression ratio and downsizing) could be achieved if manufacturers knew the octane rating of the fuel will be increased.
In the long term, we believe that next-generation biofuels made from a variety of feedstocks, including agricultural wastes (particularly lignocellulosic material) will be an important part of the GHG emission-reduction equation and will help address concerns about current-generation biofuels, including the potential competition between food and fuel crops and the conversion of natural lands to fuel production. These issues are explored in more detail in the Sustainable Technologies and Alternative Fuels Plan. To learn about Ford's perspective on biofuels public policy issues, please see Climate Change Policy and Partnerships.
- Of course, there is not only a need to reduce the fossil carbon content of the fuel itself, but to reduce any fossil-based CO2 emitted during feed-stock excavation, fuel production and distribution.

Well, if you're old enough, you may recall that Gio was tossed off his high school team because the coach had finally had enough of Gio's mother. So, I'd say that the bona fides of his helicopter parents have been well-established
Totally understand that. That's why I led off with "No, no, he shouldn't. Because if there is any real evidence to the contrary, or someone (without a dog in the fight, or otherwise clean/uninvolved) comes forward to contradict him, he will be seen as a liar who made self-serving statements to further his own self-interest." He'll be "convicted" in the court of public opinion. See: Braun, Ryan; Clemens, Roger; Bonds, Barry.
i watch it on occasion, and will probably watch some or all of the superbowl, but its like a bad habit i can't shake. i really dislike the NFL. if it got banned tomorrow, i'd have no problem with that whatsoever.

I had kicked college football entirely, until UGA played Florida this year. Then I was back on that brownstone as well as the NFL habit. Luckily I won't have any need to watch the Superbowl this year, so I can start over again. This time I'm going to try to kick football entirely.
Gonzalez, third in National League Cy Young voting in 2012, was not directly connected to HGH and testosterone. The report linked him to three substances listed as zinc, MIC and Aminorip. It was not immediately clear what MIC and Aminorip are, or if they appear on MLB's list of banned substances.
I kicked college football pretty much entirely this year. It helps that I'm far away from my alma mater. I don't think I could kick the NFL unless it got really heinous. I haven't kicked college basketball entirely (I detest the NCAA's exploitation of athletes at this point) but I've found myself way less interested than I ever have before.
Baseball could make it a rule to murder puppies before each at bat and I would probably still watch.
