Failure to outright avoid the cliff could result in the U.S. sliding into a recession next year.
At the close of U.S. trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 1.21%, the S&P 500 index was down 1.11%, while the Nasdaq Composite index fell 0.86%.
President Barack Obama was meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans on Friday to find a way to avoid careening over the fiscal cliff, and the uncertainty sent investors selling stocks and seeking safe-haven positions in the U.S. dollar.
While early January can come a go without a deal, as tax hikes and spending cuts will take some time to materialize, markets will roil if U.S. leaders fail to resolve the fiscal cliff early in 2013.
Solid data out of the U.S. failed to boost spirits for long.
In the U.S. earlier, the National Association of Realtors revealed that pending home sales beat expectations in November, rising by 1.7% after a 5% increase the previous month.
Analysts were expecting pending home sales to rise by 1.0% in November.
Elsewhere in the U.S., the Chicago's purchasing managers' index rose to 51.6 in December, up from 50.4 in November and beating expectations for a rise to 51.0.
Leading Dow Jones Industrial Average performers included American Express, up 0.04%, Home Depot, down 0.67%, and DuPont, down 0.71%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average's worst performers included Hewlett-Packard, down 2.42%, Exxon Mobil, down 1.88%, and Chevron, down 1.78%.
European indices, meanwhile, finished lower.
After the close of European trade, the EURO STOXX 50 fell 1.90%, France's CAC 40 fell 1.47%, while Germany's DAX 30 finished down 0.57%. Meanwhile, in the U.K. the FTSE 100 finished down 0.49%.

Treating Personality Disorders with Therapy
Explanation of the different therapies that are effective in treating personality disorders.
The dogmatic schools of psychotherapy (such as psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapies, and behaviorism) more or less failed in ameliorating, let alone curing or healing personality disorders. Disillusioned, most therapists now adhere to one or more of three modern methods: Brief Therapies, the Common Factors approach, and Eclectic techniques.
Conventionally, brief therapies, as their name implies, are short-term but effective. They involve a few rigidly structured sessions, directed by the therapist. The patient is expected to be active and responsive. Both parties sign a therapeutic contract (or alliance) in which they define the goals of the therapy and, consequently, its themes. As opposed to earlier treatment modalities, brief therapies actually encourage anxiety because they believe that it has a catalytic and cathartic effect on the patient.
Supporters of the Common Factors approach point out that all psychotherapies are more or less equally efficient (or rather similarly inefficient) in treating personality disorders. As Garfield noted in 1957, the first step perforce involves a voluntary action: the subject seeks help because he or she experiences intolerable discomfort, ego-dystony, dysphoria, and dysfunction. This act is the first and indispensable factor associated with all therapeutic encounters, regardless of their origins.
Another common factor is the fact that all talk therapies revolve around disclosure and confidences. The patient confesses his or her problems, burdens, worries, anxieties, fears, wishes, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, difficulties, failures, delusions, and, generally invites the therapist into the recesses of his or her innermost mental landscape.
The therapist leverages this torrent of data and elaborates on it through a series of attentive comments and probing, thought-provoking queries and insights. This pattern of give and take should, in time, yield a relationship between patient and healer, based on mutual trust and respect. To many patients this may well be the first healthy relationship they experience and a model to build on in the future.
Good therapy empowers the client and enhances her ability to properly gauge reality (her reality test). It amount to a comprehensive rethink of oneself and one's life. With perspective comes a stable sense of self-worth, well-being, and competence (self-confidence).
In 1961, a scholar, Frank made a list of the important elements in all psychotherapies regardless of their intellectual provenance and technique:
- The therapist should be trustworthy, competent, and caring.
- The therapist should facilitate behavioral modification in the patient by fostering hope and "stimulating emotional arousal" (as Millon puts it). In other words, the patient should be re-introduced to his repressed or stunted emotions and thereby undergo a "corrective emotional experience."
- The therapist should help the patient develop insight about herself - a new way of looking at herself and her world and of understanding who she is.
- All therapies must weather the inevitable crises and demoralization that accompany the process of confronting oneself and one's shortcomings. Loss of self-esteem and devastating feelings of inadequacy, helplessness, hopelessness, alienation, and even despair are an integral, productive, and important part of the sessions if handled properly and competently.
Eclectic Psychotherapy
The early days of the emerging discipline of psychology were inevitably rigidly dogmatic. Clinicians belonged to well-demarcated schools and practiced in strict accordance with canons of writings by "masters" such as Freud, or Jung, or Adler, or Skinner. Psychology was less a science than an ideology or an art form. Freud's work, for instance, though incredibly insightful, is closer to literature and cultural studies than to proper, evidence-based, medicine.
Not so nowadays. Mental health practitioners freely borrow tools and techniques from a myriad therapeutic systems. They refuse to be labeled and boxed in. The only principle that guides modern therapists is "what works" - the effectiveness of treatment modalities, not their intellectual provenance. The therapy, insists these eclecticists, should be tailored to the patient, not the other way around.
This sounds self-evident but as Lazarus pointed out in a series of articles in the 1970s, it is nothing less than revolutionary. The therapist today is free to match techniques from any number of schools to presenting problems without committing himself to the theoretical apparatus (or baggage) that is associated with them. She can use psychoanalysis or behavioral methods while rejecting Freud's ideas and Skinner's theory, for instance.
Lazarus proposed that the appraisal of the efficacy and applicability of a treatment modality should be based on six data: BASIC IB (Behavior, Affect, Sensation, Imagery, Cognition, Interpersonal Relationships, and Biology). What are the patient's dysfunctional behavior patterns? How is her sensorium? In what ways does her imagery connect with her problems, presenting symptoms, and signs? Does he suffer from cognitive deficits and distortions? What is the extent and quality of the patient's interpersonal relationships? Does the subject suffer from any medical, genetic, or neurological problems that may affect his or her conduct and functioning?
So what's the use of theorizing in psychology? Why not simply revert to trial and error and see what works?
Beutler, a staunch supporter and promoter of eclecticism, provides the answer:
Psychological theories of personality allow us to be more selective. They provide guidelines as to which treatment modalities we should consider in any given situation and for any given patient. Without these intellectual edifices we would be lost in a sea of "everything goes". In other words, psychological theories are organizing principles. They provide the practitioner with selection rules and criteria that he or she would do well to apply if they don't want to drown in a sea of ill-delineated treatment options.

Abstracts for the August 2014 AIL
Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2016 Critical Use Exemption from the Phase-out of Methyl Bromide
Methyl bromide was phased out under the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 2005, except for limited exemptions. This action would authorize critical uses for the 2016 control period, and the amount of methyl bromide that may be produced or imported for those uses that year. Absent this rulemaking, production and import of methyl bromide for critical uses would be zero for 2016. EPA takes this action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect consensus Decisions of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in November 2014. Back
Amendments to Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards, Nonroad Engine, Equipment, and Fuel Programs, and MARPOL Annex VI Implementation
EPA is taking direct final action on three sets of amendments. First, we are making a variety of corrections to the Tier 3 motor vehicle emission and fuel standards. These changes generally correct or clarify various provisions from the Tier 3 rule without expanding the Tier 3 program or otherwise making any substantive changes to what was described in the April 2014 final rule. Second, we are revising the test procedures and compliance provisions for nonroad spark-ignition engines at or below 19 kW (and for the corresponding nonroad equipment) to conform to current practices. The changes to evaporative emission test procedures also apply to some degree to other types of nonroad equipment powered by volatile liquid fuels. Third, we are revising the regulations to more carefully align with current requirements that apply to marine vessels with diesel engines as specified under MARPOL Annex VI. Back
Conforming Revisions to the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
This action would only be finalized if the DC Circuit Court grants EPA's motion to lift the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) stay. This is a ministerial action amending the CSAPR so that it would conform to the court's decisions. No changes would be made in the substantive requirements of the existing rule. Back
Revisions to Regional Consistency Regulations to Allow Variances for Judicial Decisions
This rule will revise the Regional Consistency regulations to allow an exception for judicial decisions. The outcome of these revisions will not affect the regional consistency requirements for regulations or guidance documents other than those related to judicial decisions. Back
Toxics Release Inventory Addition of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)
EPA is evaluating whether to add hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) to the list of chemicals reportable under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (i.e., the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)). HBCD is a brominated flame retardant found world-wide in the environment and wildlife. Human exposure is evidenced from its presence in breast milk, adipose tissue and blood. It bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in the food chain. It persists and is transported long distances in the environment, and is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. HBCD is also of concern for certain chronic human health effects. EPA has developed the following Action Plan to address concerns for releases of HBCD to the environment: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/actionplans/RIN2070-AZ10_HBCD%20action%20plan_Final_2010-08-09.pdf. The Action Plan includes the initiation of rulemaking to add HBCD to the TRI. Back
Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Implementation Rule
The Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act was enacted on January 4, 2011, to amend Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA or Act) respecting the use and introduction into commerce of lead pipes, plumbing fittings or fixtures, solder and flux. The 2011 "Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act" revised Section 1417 to:
- Redefine "lead free" in SDWA Section 1417(d) to:
- lower the maximum lead content of plumbing products such as pipes and fixtures from 8.0% to 0.25%;
- establish a statutory method for the calculation of lead content; and
- eliminate the requirement that lead free products be in compliance with voluntary standards established in accordance with SDWA 1417(e) for leaching of lead from new plumbing fittings and fixtures.
- Create exemptions in SDWA Section 1417(a)(4) from the prohibitions on the use or introduction into commerce for:
- "pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings or fixtures, including backflow preventers, that are used exclusively for nonpotable services such as manufacturing, industrial processing, irrigation, outdoor watering, or any other uses where the water is not anticipated to be used for human consumption;" (SDWA 1417(a)(4)(A))
- "toilets, bidets, urinals, fill valves, flushometer valves, tub fillers, shower valves, service saddles, or water distribution main gate valves that are 2 inches in diameter or larger." (SDWA 1417(a)(4)(B))
EPA will propose regulations to codify the requirements in the Act. Back
Alaskan Seafood Processing Effluent Limitations Guidelines
The existing effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) for the Alaskan Seafood subcategories of the Canned and Preserved Seafood Processing ELGs (40 CFR Part 408) which were promulgated in the 1970s required new and existing sources to meet discharge requirements that reflected a facility's proximity to population and/or processing centers: "non-remote" and "remote." As promulgated, all facilities except for those listed in the non-remote ELGs (i.e., Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, and Petersburg) are subject to requirements for "remote" locations. For remote locations, the ELGs established numerical limits on particle size discharged (1/2 inch) based on grinding to reduce the size of the pieces prior to discharge. For the non-remote locations, the ELGs established numerical limits for total suspended solids (TSS) and oil and grease based on screening the solids from the wastewater prior to discharge and solids handling of screened solids by some means other than near shore direct discharge. These regulations were litigated and upheld in the Ninth Circuit. However, in 1980, certain members of the Alaskan seafood processing industry subsequently submitted two petitions along with new data and information to EPA requesting that it suspend the non-remote ELGs for facilities located in Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Petersburg and instead subject them to the less stringent requirements for "remote" locations. The non-remote ELGs would remain in effect for Kodiak.
On May 19, 1980, EPA temporarily suspended the existing requirements for facilities in the five "non-remote" centers covered in the petition and instead subjected them to the less stringent limits based on grinding, until October 15, 1980. On January 9, 1981, EPA issued a proposal to deny the petition to modify and amend the ELGs for Anchorage, Cordova, Ketchikan and Petersburg, but to grant the petition to remove Juneau from the non-remote subcategories. EPA also solicited comment on subjecting additional geographic locations including two specific locations, Dutch Harbor and Kenai Peninsula, to the "non-remote" requirements. In the 1981 proposal, EPA stated that the May 1980 suspension would remain in effect until EPA made a final decision. The Agency has not made a final decision and the suspension has remained in effect since 1980.
On November 7, 2013, EPA provided new data and information gathered since the 1981 proposal. The notice described EPA's recent data and information gathering; provided EPA's preliminary analyses of the new data; and summarized what the Agency learned from the new data and analyses. It provided preliminary results of EPA's analyses of the updated data for the five petition locations as well as preliminary analysis for possible additional locations. Finally, it provided preliminary indications of how these results may be reflected in EPA's final response to petitions submitted in 1980 by certain members of the Alaskan seafood processing industry, and in amended effluent limitations.
EPA is reviewing the comments received from the notice and is preparing responses. A final preamble and rule is expected be signed and published in September 2015. Back
Typographical Corrections to CWA Priority Pollutant List
This action contains the list of priority pollutants, which was published in the Federal Register on November 19, 1982, with corrections made to typographical errors, standardization of formating, and the clarification of some of the outdated nomenclature with the addition of synonyms used by the Agency. It does not change the chemicals listed as priority pollutants. Back
Modernization of the Accidental Release Prevention Regulations under Clean Air Act
In response to Executive Order 13650, EPA is considering potential revisions to its Risk Management Program regulations and related programs. This notice may propose changes to the list of regulated substances and threshold quantities, addition of new accident prevention or emergency response program elements and/or changes to existing elements, and/or other changes to the existing regulatory provisions. Back
Abstracts for the September 2014 AIL
Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Electronic Reporting Interim Rule Change
This direct final rule change will allow sources to comply with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) reporting requirements while the EPA revises the Emissions Collection Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) to accept all reporting that is required in the MATS rule. This action will set up an interim reporting system for sources to comply with until a second rulemaking is finalized requiring the reporting through the ECMPS. Back
Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Technical Corrections to Final Rule
This rulemaking will correct errors noted in the final rule, clarify sections that have been shown to be confusing to stakeholders, and complete actions promised but not finalized in the Response to Comments document. Back
Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Procurement Under Environmental Protection Agency Financial Assistance Agreements
This action is meant to ensure nondiscrimination in the award of contracts under EPA financial assistance agreements, to harmonize EPA's disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program objectives with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, to help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in the award of contracts under EPA financial assistance agreements; and to provide appropriate flexibility to recipients of EPA financial assistance in establishing and providing contracting opportunities for DBEs. Back
Modernization of the Accidental Release Prevention Regulations under Clean Air Act
In response to Executive Order 13650, the EPA is considering potential revisions to its Risk Management Program regulations and related programs. This notice may propose changes to the list of regulated substances and threshold quantities, addition of new accident prevention or emergency response program elements and/or changes to existing elements, and/or other changes to the existing regulatory provisions. Back
What is an AIL?
Generally, AILs include those actions that 1) will appear in our upcoming Semiannual Regulatory Agenda and 2) have been approved for commencement by EPA's Regulatory Policy Officer. In rare instances, an action will not appear on an AIL before it appears in an Agenda.
The AILs are a snapshot of the rules EPA initiates each month. Each action appears on only one list. We do not update actions that were listed in previous AILs. For each action, more up-to-date information is available in our Agenda every six months. For those actions that meet the definition of a priority rulemaking, you can access monthly updates via EPA's Regulatory Development and Retrospective Review Tracker (Reg DaRRT). If an action is featured on Reg DaRRT, the AIL will indicate this fact in the "Contact" column by including a link to "follow this rule on Reg DaRRT."
How Do I Access a Past AIL?
Every available AIL may be found in our AIL docket (#OA-2008-0265) on Regulations.gov. AILs are added to this docket as they are posted on this website. AILs older than two months are removed from this Web page and are only available in the docket.
How Do I Know When a New List Has Been Posted?
You can sign up to be notified via email when a new list is added to our AIL docket. To do so:
- Go to the Docket Details page for our AIL docket (#EPA-HQ-OA-2008-0265) on Regulations.gov.
- Click the "Notification" icon found in the upper, right portion of your screen. Fill out the registration form that is presented to you.
- Step 2 of the form asks you to select the types of documents you are interested in. To ensure that you receive a notification every time a document is deposited in the docket, place a check mark in the boxes next to every document type (Rules, Proposed Rules, Notices, Public Submissions, Supporting & Related Materials, and Other).
- Once you have completed the form, click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the form.
- You will receive an email with instructions for how to complete the registration process. Make sure you follow these instructions. You will not begin receiving notifications until you do.
Keep in mind that AILs do not post immediately. You can access a given month's list roughly 15 days after the close of the month (e.g., the April 2008 AIL will post sometime around May 15th).
What Does Each Column in an AIL Mean?
The stage of an action describes where we are in the rule writing process, from the very beginning when a rule (or other action) is just an idea to the end when it is published as a final rule (or other action) in the Federal Register. For example, the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) stage announces a proposed rule or modification.
In the AILs, the following acronyms are used:
- ANPRM - Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
- Direct Final - Direct Final Action
- NPRM - Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
- Section 610 Review - Agency review under Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
- Supplemental - Supplemental NPRM
Provides the name, phone, and email address for the EPA staff person assigned to this rule. Additionally, if a rule is in EPA's Reg DaRRT website (www.epa.gov/regdarrt/), then a link to the rule's profile will be provided in this column.
A brief summary of the action and its purpose.
Projected Publication Date
Since many variables affect how long it takes to write a rule or other action, it is impossible to predict a firm publication date when we have just started working on an action. Therefore, we insert one of two options in the "Projected Publication Date" column: 1) "12 months or less" and 2) "more than 12 months." These options give you some idea of how quickly we expect to complete an action. You may consult our Semiannual Regulatory Agenda every six months for updates to our estimates.

We are tracking new ways to stay ahead of the flu.
If you think you're coming down with the bug, Hy-Vee is offering up a free test.
They can test for the flu and strep throat, and the results are fast.
It's free because it's part of a research project that the UNMC College of Pharmacy and Ferris State are heading up.
Experts say these tests can really help people this season.
"There is medication out there. For example, for flu, there's Tamiflu. It's no good. It doesn't do the patient any good unless you get it in the first 48 hours," says Micaila Ruiz, a Pharmacist at the Hy-Vee at 180th and Pacific in Omaha.
To take part, you must be at least 19 years old and showing signs of the flu or strep.
Check with your local store for testing availability.

There is a headstone on the lot where she is buried, but her name is not on it. On the back of the stone is 'Anna', but the dates are not correct. I will check the site out Tuesday (7-17) when I go back to the cemetery.

Adding Emmas would great. Thanks so very much. I always check the tombstone dates as sometimes fingers can hit the wrong keys and flowers while pretty covering the dates doesn't help. Thanks again.

Funeral arrangements have been made for a Cass County woman who was murdered last week.
Last Friday, Martha Sexton was found stabbed to death in her Mason Township home in the 19000 block of U.S. 12.
Sexton's brother, 59-year-old Edward Hensley, is accused of killing her and is now facing a charge of open murder.
He made his first court appearance via video conference earlier this week where a judge denied him bond.
Prosecutor Victor Fitz said Hensley stabbed Sexton at least eleven times in the throat, neck and back.
After stabbing her, he took off and was later found in Elkhart.
The prosecutor said Hensley still had the murder weapon, and admitted to killing his sister.
Hensley returns to court July 12 for a preliminary exam.
Services will be held for Sexton on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at the Yoder-Culp Funeral Home, located at 1911 South Main St. in Goshen.

When the temperature of coolant in an engine is greater than or equal to a half-warm-up determination value, which is set to a value smaller than a determination value for warm-up completion of the engine, an engine cooling control section opens a valve to mix the coolant in two coolant circuits. Accordingly, even if the temperature of the coolant in the engine fluctuates due to mixing coolants at different temperatures, such fluctuation occurs in a temperature range lower than the determination value for the warm-up completion of the engine. This prevents a control procedure for the time before the warm-up completion and a control procedure for the time after such completion from being performed in a repeating, alternating manner. As a result, when the coolant circulating in the first coolant circuit and the coolant circulating in the second coolant circuit are mixed together, control that should be performed based on the coolant temperature in the engine is carried out without hindrance.

I Couldn't Wait To Leave 6 Months Ago Lyrics - Neck Deep
From up here this town don't look so bad,
I'm looking down at this place I hate and at least for a second it seems okay,
But I'm not getting over it,
Getting used to it,
It's been so long since everything seemed to fit ,
And it's not a case of being scared or undeserving,
I'm just questioning the purpose of leaving what I thought was pulling me down.
But I'll bite my tongue and grit my teeth.
I'll leave my heart where I leave my home,
I never thought that I'd be on my own,
I never knew that I had this in me,
I kinda think it came all too quickly.
But I know that growing up's a part of growing up,
So I guess I'll just face the facts and throw my bags up on this broken back.
I'll learn from my mistakes and find a place where I can breathe.
Somewhere that I can breathe.
I'll miss the smell of the rain on my road,
The dirty streets of the town I call home,
My friends that kept me from feeling alone,
And the broken promises you made that forced me to grow.
And I'll miss the paths I've walked a thousand times,
The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned from the nights
That I spent with my friends in this town I resent,
All 'cause this is the last of time that I'll spend around here.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
With the influence of news writers almost rivaling that of newsmakers, especially in the Middle East, Gil Hoffman has a pivotal position as chief political correspondent and analyst for the Jerusalem Post. Hoffman is closely connected with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders, has interviewed every major figure across the Israeli political spectrum, and is a regular analyst on CNN, Al Jazeera and other news outlets. A native of Chicago, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University's School of Journalism and wrote for the Miami Herald and the Arizona Republic before moving to Israel. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and two children. The Jewish Press: What in your background led you to make aliyah and begin work at the Jerusalem Post?

A native of Chicago, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University's School of Journalism and wrote for the Miami Herald and the Arizona Republic before moving to Israel. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and two children.
The Jewish Press: What in your background led you to make aliyah and begin work at the Jerusalem Post?
Hoffman: Both my parents are Israeli and my native language is "Hebrish." For us, watching the news was a very big part of our [family life]. While interning at the Miami Herald during college I realized I had to be where I cared about the news – and that was only in Israel. I started covering politics for the Jerusalem Post about a year after I got to Israel. In December 2000 there was an election between Sharon and Barak. Most newspapers had someone covering each of them. I started immediately doing both of them and I haven't gotten much sleep ever since.
Is the Jerusalem Post more right-leaning than other Israeli print media?
No. We are the center, the objective newspaper. In Israel we have Yisrael Hayom, owned by Sheldon Adelson, which is right wing and very close to Netanyahu. We have Yediot Aharonot and Maariv, which are left wing newspapers and then we have Haaretz,which appears to be doing everything possible to overthrow the government of the State of Israel and kill Zionism as we know it.
Has the one-sided international reaction to the flotilla episode united Israelis? Do you think it has energized Netanyahu and the right and subdued the peace camp?
I wish that were the case, but it hasn't turned out that way. Whenever there's sorrow or any kind of outside threat, Israelis unite in a beautiful kind of way. It happened during both wars over the last few years, it happened against Obama, and the same thing happened with the flotilla. It just didn't last very long.
Initially Tzipi Livni made a point of getting interviewed by the foreign press the day of the flotilla episode. She was following a tradition that Netanyahu started when he was a frequent spokesman for Israel during the Second Lebanon War and during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza as the opposition leader, the title Livni holds today. But a week later we returned to our usual state of constant bickering between politicians, and Livni herself raised the no-confidence vote in the government over its handling of the flotilla. Livni sent a message to Israelis that Netanyahu has harmed Israel's relations with the world. She took a page out of a Barack Obama school of politics, and not for the first time.
Has the flotilla episode affected the proximity talks and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship?
Hamas has been strengthened by this whole episode, and it could have put pressure on [Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas not to come back to the negotiating table. But he didn't fall for that trap. [U.S. Mideast envoy George] Mitchell was here two days after. What could directly affect the peace process is if Israel ends up being forced to take steps that strengthen Hamas at the expense of Fatah and makes it harder for Fatah to win the elections, which haven't been set yet. The bigger a deal the world makes of this, the more it hurts the Palestinians. A general assumption in Israel is that anything that is good for Hamas is bad for the Palestinians.
In light of Hamas's PR victory, would it be in Abbas's best interest to speed up the peace talks and deliver a victory for Fatah?
No, no, no. The interest of Abbas is to stall and not let anything happen, because he thinks he can get the world to impose a worse deal on Israel, especially if Israel looks like the bad guy. It's never in his interests to make any kind of concession towards Israel. It's in his interest to wait.
Can you comment on the events that led up to the Ramat Shlomo construction controversy?
Natan Sharansky had a talk a few days before Netanyahu got elected. It became an issue in the campaign about whether Netanyahu would get along with the president of the United States. Netanyahu's opponents said no, he won't get along. Sharansky said they will get along. It was a bad prediction. But at the time he made another prediction – that what causes problems between countries is surprises, not disputes over policies. One country cannot surprise the other. That's proven to be a good prediction.
Obama got upset because he was surprised by Ramat Shlomo. Netanyahu also was surprised by Ramat Shlomo. When he first heard about the building project, Netanyahu's reaction was, "Where is Ramat Shlomo?" He didn't know if it was over the green line or not. Most people in Jerusalem didn't know, and the newspapers didn't know either. They kept on calling it East Jerusalem, when it's in north-central Jerusalem between two hareidi neighborhoods.
Still, it was a surprise for Obama, and Obama doesn't like surprises. Well, Netanyahu also got a surprise when Obama, in their first meeting, insisted on stopping all construction over the green line. Strangely enough it was a good surprise for Netanyahu. By breaking the commitments Israel had gotten from both Clinton and Bush, Obama liberated Netanyahu from having to abide by the offer [former prime minister Ehud] Olmert had made. But what was worse was when Obama started breaking his own promises. They had agreed the freeze would be for only ten months and wouldn't include Jerusalem. That was how Netanyahu succeeded in selling it to the people of Israel.
Can members of Netanyahu's right-wing bloc in the Likud party prevent him from making future concessions?
Netanyahu is a superman in his party. There's no one in his party to stop him. Likud is the most right-wing party in the coalition; it is also the most left-wing party in the coalition. All the satellite parties are virtually irrelevant. They are led by lame duck politicians, all of them who have no political future, so Netanyahu is completely unrestrained politically. Nothing is standing in his way in internal Israeli politics. The only real pressure he's under comes from the White House and the world.
What about the Israel public? Would Israelis allow another withdrawal after living through the consequences of the last one?
Yes. I know we've been through a horrible situation, with years of rocket fire, psychological warfare, and two wars. It made whoever was super-optimistic about peace a lot more skeptical and not trusting of the Palestinians anymore. But if you ask whether the people would still allow it to happen, the answer is yes. If there's enough pressure from the U.S. and the world on Israel – and it's only growing – and we have a prime minister who has a history of caving in under threats, then, yes, it can happen.
That's not Bibi's raison d'?tre as a politician, as it was for many previous prime minsters who wanted to be the one to draw the final borders of the State of Israel. Netanyahu doesn't think that way. He doesn't have it in his kishkes the way most leaders in Israel over the past twenty years have. And yet he would do it. What he cares about is preventing a nuclear Iran. And if the byproduct is forcing Israel to make another withdrawal in the West Bank, I see him breaking all his campaign promises and doing it.
How do you explain Netanyahu's readiness to endorse a Palestinian state and execute a withdrawal, knowing it would impede Israel's abilities to defend itself?
I think the point of Netanyahu's Bar Ilan speech was not coming out in favor of a Palestinian state; that was something that was inevitable. The whole point was to emphasize the preconditions – it would be demilitarized and the Palestinians would have to recognize a Jewish state. To American ears that sounds like mere rhetoric, but to Israeli ears it is a euphemism for a complete end to the conflict. Netanyahu would really insist upon it. And then he would draw the borders differently. He would keep more. If Netanyahu would agree to the creation of a Palestinian state with his preconditions, he would keep the settlements blocs, and he would keep the Jordan Valley as well, but it might not be with Jews in it.
Is this a realistic scenario, given the continued incitement by the Palestinians and their refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state?
The world is crazy and Netanyahu is under a lot of pressure. The pressure is just going to grow, and Obama has to justify his Nobel peace prize. Even our closest allies are putting pressure on Israel.
Is there anything that can be done to offset that pressure?
Keep up the outcry. It's been effective and helpful and it needs to be constant, because the fight has just begun. There's a battle between the president of United States and the prime minister of Israel; there's a battle between the president of the United States and the people of Israel. There's no battle between the people of Israel and the people of the United States. According to polls, the American people show record highs in support of the people of Israel, and it's despite the president of the United States. That's something that gives me confidence that American Jews can help Israel withstand pressure from Obama.
The Obama administration's reaction to the flotilla episode, and most notably its pressure on Israel to accept an international inquiry, proves there will still continue to be friction between Israel and Obama despite recent efforts by his administration to fix the problems he caused earlier on. Israeli politicians, the people close to Netanyahu, cannot say it on the record, but they want American Jews to be protesting in the streets. They've seen that it has been effective so far, and they are appreciative of it and they desperately want it to continue.

What to bring a new neighbor??
- foodieX2 Apr 26, 2013 02:49 PM
The last time I had new neighbor I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and put them in pretty basket with a (new) tea towel. Come to find out later one child had celiacs and the parents were (at the time) low carbers. I felt terrible.
Our neighborhood isn't really one. It's basically a long country road that abuts a state park, has no street lights and most houses are close enough to see but not really close that you see each other out and about. They are thru woods kind of behind my house so it's not like I am going to see them over the fence or run into walking around the area.
I still would like to cook/bake/make something but am at a loss on what would be a safe bet. A loaf of homemade bread with good butter? Scones and jam? a pot of soup? I wish I could tell if they had a dog as I thought home made dog biscuits could be fun but so far no evidence of a pet.
So in this age of increased food allergies and sensitivities is this even a good idea anymore? Based on the hostess gift thread I know to never ever ever ever bring lilies or scented candles, LOL.
If you were new to the neighborhood what would make you feel welcome?
re: wattacetti
This is no better than the OP's oatmeal cookies if there are allergies or dietary concerns. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good idea to bake something if you don't know the families no-no's.
The only reasonably safe thing that comes to mind is a pot of homemade vegetarian soup and even then, there could be problem ingredients.
I would probably give them a plant or some sort of small item of outdoor decor, like a door wreath, windchime, or seasonal decoration.
How about a gift certificate to a local restaurant that you like and frequent (doesn't have to be high brow), with a nice little jar of jam?
re: pinehurst
I just want to say that you are an awfully sweet and thoughtful neighbor.
re: DaisyM
(whispers...also, I don't trust that others will like my cooking! shh!)
Oh I miss the good old days when you brought your new neighbors a batch of warm cookies or fresh brownies and were fast friends who sat on the porch together and had play dates and were each others emergency contacts. I am in my 20s so this was not so long ago! Not sure when or why everything became so complicated but to get back to your OP, I would just invite them over for coffee or tea or iced tea or sugar free lemonade or whatever. That way you can find out if they have any dietary restrictions by observation, and get to know them a bit better to determine if you'd like to invite them into your circle of friends. Moving can be unsettling and it's always nice to have someone reach out to you and introduce themselves.
I have food allergies - I wouldn't be able to eat anything that a neighbor brought over. That being said, even if you brought something that no one could have (we don't keep any apple products in our house, for example, because I'm severely contact sensitive to them) it would still have the intended effect of making me feel welcome. I'd just quarantine them when you left, wash up just in case, and send them to work with DH, where it would surely be inhaled.
I think that the vast majority of people with allergies are reasonable enough to know that you aren't out to intentionally harm them - I'm in a support group, and I know that most people just smile, say thank you, and regift.
I have environmental allergies too, but this time of the year, I would definitely appreciate a potted plant that could be kept outside - keeps the pollen and such out of the house but I still get to have something pretty.
re: TroyTempest
Oh, I'd probably kill it too. But I would like looking at it and it would make me happy until its untimely death.
I believe people, in general, would appreciate any kind gesture, and would not expect you to know whether they have some food allergy or weird food aversion. The only thing I would avoid would be nuts, as that allergy is usually the most unforgiving.
That said, a batch of blueberry muffins, banana or zucchini bread, a coffee cake, or scones I'm sure would be welcome.
I think bringing a new neighbor anything is a very kind overture! I say bring anything you would appreciate as a token, understanding that it may be used to feed their guests or coworkers. It's really not about the bread, or the cookies, or the scones, is it? :) Someone will enjoy them, and the new neighbors will enjoy the traveling hospitality.
As an aside, I would have to wonder how friendly anyone would want to be with a person who doesn't appreciate a friendly gesture (I realize your neighbors did not do this - just an "in general"). There's plenty of time to learn about restrictions if the relationship develops to the meal-sharing level. No need to feel bad about kindness, even if it unknowingly comes in the form of an allergen! ;)
re: iluvcookies
This is such a great idea!
When we moved here the previous owner left us a drawer full of useful information: List of clinics in the area, take out menus, a list of good places to shop for different things, their recommendations for the neighbourhood. It was really appreciated since we were arriving from far away.
Stick with cookies.........seldom will you hit that and if that is one of your signature "things", it will be appreciated more ..and the thought should have been appreciated by them, regardless.
Maybe you can just say hello and give them a choice of a couple different things, and an opportunity to tell you about any issues ...
I would still be grateful for the compassion expressed by a basket of cookies, even though I don't personally eat many. My DH is a cookie FIEND, though. Whenever I am in a new neighborhood, I would want... a map with someone's favorite shops marked, and why, and the location of the nearest medical clinic, beer/wine store, good bakery, and best spot to purchase a quick small gift. Just my 2 cents.
When I moved into my house (with now EX) MANY years ago, it was at the beginning of September... still "summertime". Neighbor came over with a big basket of goodies from his garden... tomatoes, zukes, peppers, cukes, etc. AND he showed me how to "break in" to my own house without a key?!? Fridge, washer/dryer arrived from Sears a week BEFORE we settled?? He remembered what it was like to NOT have them during first few days (week) in a brand new place. He made like we just weren't "home"... still had key from previous owner. We came from settlement to find all appliances hooked up... even ice cube trays in freezer. Said he figured if we FREAKED about it... he knew what next SEVERAL years would be like!?!
re: kseiverd
I think this is hysterical!
re: kseiverd
I gotta know.....did he turn out to be a good neighbor ?
Thank you for all the responses! I love the idea of "Neighborhood" basket with take out menus, maps, tips etc. Very thoughtful and very useful!
We have not seen any cars or activity since last night so it looks like they might be away. Gives me time to put together a nice assortment that I can bring over next week.
re: foodieX2
If something's homemade, just include recipe (friendly if they cook/bake/can/etc. or have food issues without being obviously over careful)
re: foodieX2
A neighborhood basket really does sound like a perfect welcome gift - but even aside from that I wouldn't completely shy away from making something. When I was a kid we moved in a new house/new neighborhood in the middle of the December. One our neighbors came over to give us a welcome gift of a Christmas reef - and we happen to be Jewish. A bit awkward, but the gesture was still received warmly.
re: cresyd
The neighborhood basket only really works if you know where they are coming from. Many people where I just moved to are from town just getting into a single family house. My new neighbors would likely be offended if I tried toile it seem that I knew their hometown better than they did. But people can be funny where I live.
re: cresyd
Do you mean, Wreath?
re: Dirtywextraolives
Haha - oops, poor spelling moment.
re: Dirtywextraolives
I was thinking, whole new tradition ... that's the hippie Christmas traditional gift I think ;)
re: Dirtywextraolives
Not everyone's a gardener, but sharing plants is nice. I just gave some to my neighbor today. We had a gardening fiend neighbor growing up who would give us things when he'd divide. Lilies of the valley I remember, but I know there were many more.
I moved into my house in summer of 2010. My one set of neighbors brought a basket of their home-grown tomatoes, peppers, etc. (Forget what else was in the basket, but it all got used and was very much appreciated. My other neighbor (a 90 yo woman) baked me blueberry muffins with her own fresh berries. Very much appreciated, but I swear there was 1 cup of sugar per muffin. I took them to work, where no food goes uneaten. I appreciated both gifts equally and have remained equally friendly with both.
For best takeout, restaurants, markets, etc I made my first post on CH.
Take over what you feel like making. No one you want to be friends with is going to be offended. And there is no reason for you to feel terrible about the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I'm sure the people you gave them to appreciated the thought and the effort, even if they couldn't enjoy the cookies themselves. Besides, it will give you something to laugh about in 5 years. Just don't be offended if they end up regifting it, and for heavens sake don't ask how they liked the ______ you made.
re: KaimukiMan
The neighbors with the cookies were great and we do laugh about it now, I just felt terrible because the youngest was one with celiacs and she was so mad her sibling got all the cookies! (and we laugh because their no-carbing lasted about a week or two, I told them they should tried my cookies!)
It's tricky. A friend of ours had some new people move onto the property beside her. She waited a week or so until the new neighbors got settled in. Up the long driveway she walked with the pound cake in hand. She got to the house and found that all the windows were covered in black plastic. Back down the long driveway she walked. Back to her house.
She called a relative who was a cop.
How about a subscription to a popular local newspaper?
re: Puffin3
OK I don't get it. Why did she call the cops?
re: foodieX2
B/c the house was being used as a 'grow-op'. Nobody covers all the windows of a house with black plastic otherwise.
re: Sue in Mt P
I'm assumed that it was filleted for you?

2,000 samples were collected and tested during the influenza season of October 2006 through February 2007.
A site visit team of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee for the Assessment of DoD-GEIS Influenza Surveillance and Response Programs visited NHRC on March 26-27, 2007.1 A list of the people met and interviewed and the itinerary followed can be found at the end of this chapter.
Administrative support for NRDL is provided by the DoD Center for Deployment Health Research at the time of the IOM review. However, in August of 2007, the Respiratory Disease Laboratory became an independent department at HHRC, Department of Respiratory Diseases Research. DoD-GEIS funding makes up more than 90 percent of the NRDL budget and is used for special projects and capital improvements.
NRDL staff is composed of both Navy personnel and civilians. The GEIS-related projects at NRDL are managed by the laboratory director, co-director, and several study coordinators, who receive input from the project staff, including two Ph.D. consultants, a consulting pathologist, epidemiologists, a statistician, 16 full-time technicians, 7 off-site study coordinators, and 5 staff members dedicated to quality assurance and control.
The IOM committee commends the NRDL leadership for devoting both time and personnel to important aspects of diagnostic testing, that is, exploring new and advanced diagnostic platforms and incoming technologies, maintaining a high level of quality control, and being open to new and improved methodologies that promote faster and more accurate test results.
The laboratory information-management system used by the NHRC is an Access-based program designed specifically for the laboratory. The system operates well for the laboratory. Efforts are underway to find a bar-coding system that is compatible with and can be incorporated into the existing systems.
Prior to the committee's visit to NHRC, the laboratory staff provided the committee with detailed background information on NHRC and the pandemic/avian influenza activities it was supporting. These materials were used in the writing of this chapter and are available from the IOM in the Public Access File.
