Law enforcement in Tompkins County prepares for the worst with more true to life training scenarios. As our Tamara Lindstrom reports, some of the scenes hit close to home. A warning, the video we're about to show is from a training simulation. None of it is real, but some viewers may find it disturbing.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- It may just be training, but if it was any more real than this, lives would be at stake. "One hundred percent, this is real. It doesn't matter if you know the scenario, it's different every time," said Cornell University Police Officer Mike Corp.
"Every day, every call is different, whether you're going to a normal noise complaint. It could end up like this. So you never know what you're going into, "said Robert Dupay, Ithaca Police Officer.
Put on by the Ithaca Police, Tompkins County Sheriff's Office and Cornell Police Department, this week's training will put officers through the ringer.
"We're looking for officers in a situation like this, to put themselves between the good guy and the bad guy and save people's lives," said Ithaca Police training coordinator Sgt. Jacob Young.
From the sounds of screaming victims to the smell of gunfire, the scenarios are designed to be as real as possible, giving officers a leg up in a bad situation.
"Their heart is pumping, their blood pressure is probably through the roof. And they experience what it's like in reality and it kind of gives them a little inoculation," Young said. "So when it does happen to them, they will have a place to say I've been here before, I've done this, I'm confident I can go in and save lives."
Giving the officers confidence to face situations like stopping a shooter, or even helping a fellow officer who's down.
"We just recently had an officer involved shooting where the officer was actually shot," Young said. "A little bit different from this scenario, but certainly high stress situations."
And one these officers say they're now confident they can handle.
The officers go through reality based training every year. The program is made possible by several local agencies sharing their resources.

Harvest looks better now than two months ago, says Lehman
Ten different rain events and over 10 inches of rain since the middle of July has made many changes in the outlook for the upcoming harvest, says Jeff Lehman of Lehman Feed Mill.
"A month or two ago, we wondered what was going to be this fall, with the drought and all that heat," said Lehman. "Now, everybody is going to have some kind of harvest. The rains we had brought the beans back to life. I think we can look for 50 bushels per acre or better in this area now.
"The corn is variable; it's hard to know what to say. I think we all know that there was damage with all of the heat during pollination," continued Lehman. "In some fields, it will depend on how it pollinated. Most of the corn got hurt. I think we will be doing well if we get over 100 bushes an acre in many of the fields."
Lehman said that farmers who are in the early stages of cutting silage are reporting about half of what they would normally expect.
"Next week it (silage) will start picking up. It's about where we would think that it should be for when we planted the corn," noted Lehman.
Lehman said that one blessing from the rain is that it transferred a lot of the nitrate back up into the plant. He said that Lehman Feed test results have indicated that there is no problem with nitrates, but he also cautioned that it wouldn't hurt to have samples checked.
"It's important to allow silage to get through fermentation before you feed it. It doesn't appear that nitrates are going to be as big of a problem as we first thought," Lehman observed.
Lehman said that a few beans are in the very early stages of beginning to turn, indicating that harvest will probably begin around the third week of September, which is right on schedule.
"We had a few spider mite issues a few weeks ago, but that appears to be under control now," Lehman said. "The pods need to fill out; if we can get them to fill out, the beans should be half decent. As the days start to grow shorter, we can use all of the sunshine we can get during the day."
Lehman said that he is happy with the way that alfalfa and all hay cuttings are looking. With much better growth from the rain, farmers are now getting some of the best cuttings of the season. If it keeps raining, said Lehman, the cuttings will only keep improving.
"Every drop of rain is saving money. Farmers are not going to have to purchase hay like they feared that they would," noted Lehman. "The Lord has really blessed us with nice rains.
"As we get into fall, I really encourage people to keep their eyes open for farm vehicles," added Lehman. "Safety is of the utmost importance during the fall season."
Weather specialist Rick McCoy said that weather conditions through the middle of September are looking to be above normal temperatures but with average rainfall. In the immediate future, McCoy said that temperatures could be close to 90 over the weekend, but a front early next week is expected to bring another round of showers and thunderstorms early in the week with temperatures falling back into the low 80s and sunny skies for the rest of the week.

Slow Money 2014
Louisville, KY, November 10–12
Since our inaugural national event in 2009, Slow Money gatherings have emerged as a significant new venue for field building, investing, and social change. The events feature food entrepreneurs who are leading the way rebuilding local food systems, along with many renowned thought leaders in agriculture, investing, and philanthropy.
Here's what a few first-time attendees said after last year's event:
"As a first-timer to the Slow Money gathering, I was blown away. I found the event moving, provocative, inspirational, daunting, overwhelming and heartwarming. I left the meeting wondering what I could do personally as well as professionally to galvanize, encourage or participate in the happy, healthy, positive change that you, your colleagues and all the participants believe in and are making happen."
Mary McBryde, Lyme Timber, a mission-related investing firm
"I am not sure if you have ever had the experience of listening to a few words spoken in a certain order at a certain time and having them act like a key, unlocking deeper understanding. The Slow Money event was like that for me."
Dominick Sekich, Moye White LLP, attorneys at law
We're very pleased that this year's event is being planned in collaboration with Wendell Berry's daughter Mary, Executive Director of the recently formed Kentucky-based Berry Center.
For many decades, Wendell Berry has been a beacon for all people interested in small farms, agrarian culture, and a connection between agriculture and economic fundamentals. "I am proud to be associated with Slow Money and pleased to welcome them to Louisville this November for their annual gathering," states Mary Berry.
Slow Money gatherings have attracted thousands of people from 36 states and several foreign countries. Since mid-2010, over $38 million has flowed from Slow Money funders to more than 350 small food enterprises, mostly in the US and a few abroad. Twenty-one local networks and 13 investment clubs have formed.

Sommore reigns as the undisputed "Queen of Comedy." This trendsetting, highly-acclaimed veteran entertainer is widely considered one of America's top comedic female entertainers. With a winning combination of class and sass, Sommore offers audiences a hilarious, yet piercing look at today's issues from a woman's perspective. She is frank and fearless in her routines, tackling topics that range from the mundane to the controversial with wit, intelligence and style. Praised by critics, respected by her peers, and adored by a diverse fan base, she performs her stand-up act to sold-out audiences across the country, and she is among the top-grossing stand-up comediennes in the United States and abroad. Oprah Winfrey proclaimed her "a force to be reckoned with in the new millennium."
Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Sommore has had a meteoric rise to the top of her field and has been a trailblazer for women in the comedy business. She was the first woman to host BET's "Comic View," presiding over the 1994-1995 season, and in 1995, she received the Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year. She also has hosted Russell Simmons' "Def Comedy Jam," and "Showtime at the Apollo." She was part of the record-breaking "Queens of Comedy" tour in 2000, which garnered Sommore a wider fan base and got her registered in Guinness' Book of World Records when she performed to a captivated audience of more than 50,000 people in Atlanta, Georgia. The 2001 made-for-television movie based on that tour was the highest-rated and longest running special in the history of the Showtime Network. Never one to rest on her laurels, Sommore was a featured comic in the "Latham Entertainment Presents" tour in 2002, where she was the only woman performer.
In 2002, Sommore made her film debut in Friday After Next. She has also been featured in a number of other films including, Family Reunion (2002), Soul Plane (2004), Something New (2006), and Dirty Laundry (2007).
Sommore has been a featured guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The View," and "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher." She was interviewed on CNN Headline News about her phenomenal artistic and financial success as a comedienne, and was profiled in Comedy Central's "Special Women in Comedy" program. Other noteworthy accomplishments for Sommore include several appearances on the sitcoms "The Hughleys" and "The Parkers," HBO's "SNAPS" and MTV's "Wild 'N Out." Sommore also participated in season six of VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club", Comedy Central's "Roast of Flavor Flav," and was a regular on NBC's game show "1 vs. 100" during the 2008 season.
More than a comedienne, Sommore is a writer, producer, and entrepreneur. She wrote and produced her very own comedy specials, "The Queen Stands Alone," in 2008 and "Chandelier Status" in 2012. Both were a filmed version of her stand-up act, which debut to rave reviews on Comedy Central and Showtime Networks respectively. Both DVD's are currently in stores and are amongst the best sellers among stand-up films.
In 2010, Sommore was invited to participate in Chicago's "Just for Laughs Comedy Festival" as a featured act on the "Cedric the Entertainer's Urban Circus" which aired on TBS. There she performed alongside the likes of other comedic greats such as Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer. Sommore also co-produced and was featured on the very successful "Royal Comedy Tour" where she was the first female comedienne to Headline over other male Nationally Headlining acts. The tour has been in existence for four straight years and is currently gearing up to go back out in 2014. In addition, she is the producer of a documentary, which is currently in production and she is developing several other projects for television.
Sommore earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and mathematics from Morris Brown College in Atlanta. Before she became a comedy star, she taught algebra in the Atlanta public school system, and owned and operated several businesses in Atlanta, including a clothing store, a shoe store, and a store that featured imported food and specialty products from Africa.
Sommore has found success in nearly every area of the entertainment industry. She continues to be in high demand for film roles and television appearances. She plans to expand her role as a writer and producer of comedy, documentary films, and television programs. In addition, she has been involved with several hip-hop projects, including videos and recordings. However, her greatest love continues to be her first love, stand-up comedy. She continues to hone her skills and expand her reputation as a comedienne, performing to sold-out audiences across the country in both large arenas including the world famous Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden in New York City and Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, as well as at premiere comedy clubs such as Caroline's on Broadway in New York and the world famous Improv's. With her fresh approach to comedy, her distinctive style, and her groundbreaking accomplishments in the entertainment industry, she is a true "Queen of Comedy," – a title she plans to hold for years to come.

Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thread)
Equipment and On Road Behaviour, Laws and Rules. Cycling Promotion and Advocacy
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Study failure lol
1. Cyclists should reasonably assume that they will be more protected by a helmet than a motorcyclist because they cannot propel themselves to the same speeds as a motorbike rider. A moto is likely to hurt arms and collarbones etc more than the head because they are going faster. This is not a reasonable argument to build on cycle helmets on, because it fails to acknowledge the reasonableness of acquiring a head injury on a bike. Speed, collision details and intoxication were not controlled for. That's a HUGE amount of variation. We have to acknowledge that cyclists aren't going to break as many collarbones or necks because the lower speed will mean more head impacts as a percentage of overall trauma - because there are less leg/arm/torso injuries to balance that out.
2. We have no comparison data for pedestrians or car users. Perhaps cyclists were similarly expensive to peds? Anyone can run SPSS on a dataset. It's REALLY easy to find significant results if you are obtuse enough.
3. This is a very thin correlational study comparing moto helmet use to cyclist helmet use. It has no bearing on an MHL argument (the opening paragraph FOCUSSED ON THIS) because there is nothing conclusive to draw. I can equally demonstrate that fat people should be banned, because they are clearly more expensive than thin people in a hospital context. It's a pointless exercise. Accidents are inevitable across a population. How likely they are, how reasonable is it that they bear responsibility for those accidents, do most people feel that the accident is likely if they personally perform the activity, these are the key questions.
I would have gotten a serious knock to the head as a branch fell on me during the bunch ride on Saturday. Is this a reasonable injury to account for? The helmet law is about hysteria. Not reasonable expectations. If you worry about cyclists, clamp down on four wheeled death machines.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Nobody here is disputing the benefits of infrastructure simonn I don't know why you are rabbiting on about it.
How are you addressing this? Are you saying that reducing the number of cyclists doesn't make things less safe?
Again. Shifting the goal posts. This is quite hillarious! Lets go back to what I said.
So now you are agreeing with me?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Bike helmets: an emergency doctor's perspective
http://theconversation.com/bike-helmets ... tive-13935
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
What do emergency doctors know about the likelihood of cycling accidents? You could write the same article about ladder accidents. Not many people here are arguing that helmets don't offer some degree of protection for people's heads.
If we want to encourage a higher percentage of high speed enthusiast cycling the MHLs are a great way to go about it. If we want to encourage everyone to cycle then MHLs are NOT the way to go.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I'm glad you quantified that with your second part. Indeed, what do emergency doctors know about the likelihood of any accident, in that case. They don't. They know about the results of said accident. Bike, ladder, sharp knife, alcohol, the list goes on.
Personal opinion: having to wear a helmet is an excuse for people to not ride, not a reason. You want to ride, you'll find a lid without too much trouble. You don't want to ride, find an excuse.
This made me smile.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
That is not a personal opinion. The effect MHLs had of cycling at the time of introduction is well documented. The facts don't change -whatever your personal and distasteful view of people who don't cycle due to the laws.
You enjoy being selfish? Or are you making some suggesting that allowing choice is selfish?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Yes... "facts". All "well documented".
Carry on.
I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Aye? How has he shown a "distasteful" view here? Because he tells the truth? I don't know a single person who views the need to wear a helmet when cycling as a reason not to. What's more...I haven't seen any evidence at all.....none....that can prove an overall downturn in cycling due to the introduction in MHL's. None, and I've spent days trawling through this thread and it's links and so on. Sure...a lot of statistical "evidence" which can be manipulated to prove whatever you want it to (ask any statistician how fluid "statistics" can be).
Like it or not, when you ride a cycle in this country you have to wear a helmet. Like it or not the last 20 years have seen the vast majority of people accept them for what they are...a safety device. I cannot believe that so many people here can be so passionate about their lifestyle yet be so myopic about what they percieve as an imposition. Who here realy believes that the way to promote cycling is to show up at the local primary school and tell parents that their 7 year old is better off without a helmet? Fair dinkum...that'd go down well aye? Do you reckon those parents would think they are being addressed by a responsible, intelligent representative of the cycle industry? Or by a selfish so and so who's only agenda is personal?
Perception is where it's at.
Edit.....i gotta bow out of this discussion here. While I strongly believe in personal choice (yes you should be able to choose to wear a helmet) I also believe in personal accountability, and standing on your own two feet. That means making your arguments based on you and your situation. Not trying to use statistics and other people's situations to bolster your argument. Who cares about the rest of the country and whether they'd ride or not? What's it to you? Why use me as a number to support your agenda? etc etc etc. Believe it or not...if a person is going to continue riding after they reach 18 and get a license they will. Helmet laws or not Until then they're just another number in somebody else's statistics, being used and abused without their knowledge or consent.
Oh yeah...I had no issue with making my sons wear helmets when riding as young fellas. Same goes with skateboards, roller blades and motorcycles. Call me stupid, but I felt better for it

Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Ah, but it is a purely a personal opinion, being formed on no basis of scientific or empirical evidence or fact. I don't believe my words mark people who don't ride for helmet reasons as distasteful.
Nope, I smile because of the way MHL's are touted as some sort of bicycling anathema almost across the board. The 17% (article linked earlier, will need to trawl and cross reference) of people say "I'd ride if I didn't have to wear a helmet". When push comes to shove, that may be the 17% of people who say "I'd ride if I had a bike path to work", or "I'd ride if I didn't have to pedal".
I don't, however, believe MHL's are being forced by people who enjoy their helmets so much they can't go without them. They appear to be put forth more by people who are usually involved in the repair and care of persons injured without them. Would you agree with this statement of personal observation (again, based on no empirical evidence)?
If/when the law is repealed: thousands will throw their helmets in the air with joy, allowing them to clatter and explode on the ground. I will still wear my helmet even if not mandatory. Personal choice.
Play the ball.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Great. And I agree with you. But that wasn't what was being said.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I did too The zob. I found the anti MHL here to be fanatical to the point of irrational. And try to have your own opinion or choice contrary to their own and you're selfish or stupid. Flame suit on.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
That wasn't in relation to what was being said. Just a statement.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
All that trawling and link hammering and THIS is what you believe the pro choice people are saying in this thread?
Wow, just wow.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
It's definitely best not to get involved in the discussion here. However there is some entertainment to be had in posting the results of the latest research and watching the logical contortions that result. I've read about cognitive dissonance, and so it is interesting to see it in action. I'm sure I do it myself too, but it is so much harder to recognise it in your own thinking.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
After getting back into cycling, I spent some time rethinking helmet laws after reading the arguments here and elsewhere. What I found was that the anti-MHL case is seriously weakened by the tendency for the issue to attract total nutballs as advocates.
To be clear, I don't mean anyone here, or anyone who reconsiders the wisdom of MHLs.
I'm talking about the CRAG guy - it's just one guy - who is likes to cite "the latest scientific research" only to link to a pdf that he wrote himself. Yes, really. His entire site is full of anti-scientific muddle-headed thinking, with an intense skepticism of the mildest prospective benefits of helmets only matched by a boundless credulity for the most far-fetched helmet dangers.
Would you be surprised to learn that the reason we have helmet laws is that it's a hugely profitable conspiracy perpetrated by the helmet lobby?
Yes, really.
On the respectable academic side there was research published by UNSW academic -and anti-MHL campaigner - Dr Chris Rissel that showed that helmet laws caused cyclist injuries. Until the paper was formally retracted for egregious data errors - cherry picking the stats to make them say what he wanted. Formal retraction of a research paper is no minor issue for an academic. It's a career-sinker.
I'm not sure what it is about the topic that makes the crackpots and nutballs flock to it like seagulls to a picnic. Sure, there are responsible, respectable anti-MHL advocates as well - but man, they have a heavy burden to carry with these guys on their side.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I do - and for completely selfish reasons. What I really want to see is a reduction in motor car usage and one important way is through substitution or car journeys with bicycles. This would enhance my safety as a cyclist and as a pedestrian and that of my family. It would also improve my quality of life and that of my family e.g. through less pollution, better use of state resources. It also improves that chances for my children to have the same quality of life I've enjoyed so far.
ANY measure that can get more people riding is a good thing in my mind. YMMV
Helmets! Bells! Rego!
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Well, I'm pretty stupid
What I believe is that the pro choicers don't want to wear helmets. Simple.
That statement I made is a reference to what I see as the hopelessness of portraying that choice/need/desire as anything other than that. A simple, single dimensional desire to do what they (pro-choicers) want. No skin of my nose (geddit? Huh? ) either way. Like I said....I'm pro choice You want to take the chance that the helmet's not gonna help, go nuts I'd really rather that my household total of 4 cylists weren't used as a statistic to support either side is all.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Kinda funny how anti-MHL'ers are subjected to classic outgroup behaviour within the cycling community.
Helmets! Bells! Rego!
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Your belief is contrary to most of the evidence presented. I am a pro choicer and I am a strong advocate of the benefits that helmets bring. I CHOOSE to wear my helmet in many sports where there are no mandatory helmets.
What amazes me is how simply naive so many Australian cyclists are regarding cycling in the rest of the world. In the places where cycling is most common place, helmets are rarely seen.

What's that mean? Outgroup behaviour?
Like I said...I'm pretty stupid
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
What sports? I thought we were talking about cycling? Sorry.....I'm confused now. Do you or do you not want to wear a helmet on a bike?
OK....Ken's reply about his family and local area I can see. But who cares about the rest of the world? How is it that I'm not up to scratch if I don't know about "the rest of the world". Are you ashamed of the rest of us or what?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Ostracized. Treated like second class citizens. Not given the same rights and respect. Hmmmm, the existence of the "One & ONLY Helmet Thread" says it all.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Yeah? See my last post
Nah...I'm just jokin about. You boys take this way to seriously in my opinion. That's one of the reasons I have to stay out of threads like this Come down to Elizabeth St when we start, say G'day. I'm a freindly sorta dude. I'll even let ya ride down my incomplete Bicycle Segregation Lane That's Copenhagen treatment for heathens like me
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Sorry to confuse you but I can't talk about having the choice in cycling. Something about mandatory laws and all that.
It isn't a question with a binary answer. If given the choice I would sometimes choose not to wear a helmet. But the fight isn't about getting ME cycling it is getting OTHER people cycling.
Because for best cycling practices one should not look for Australia as guidance. We are abysmal in cycling participation and safety.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Zob, perception is where it's at and that's the problem. Because we have laws which claim that cycling is so dangerous that we have to enact legislation to force us to wear a helmet, going to a bunch of kids and their parents and saying their kids should ride bikes with or without a helmet goes down very badly. The helmet laws create the impression that cycling is a very dangerous activity. This is an inaccurate impression. Cycling is quite safe, certainly no more dangerous than many other activities which do not require a helmet. If this was really about comparing the relative safety of various activities, given over 50% of head injuries are suffered by occupants of cars, then car helmets would also be compulsory. It's not just the inconvenience of helmets which has an impact on cycling, it is the image of cycling as an activity which is so dangerous that you need head protection which impacts upon cycling numbers. Would you want your kids undertaking an activity which is so dangerous they are legally required to wear a helmet?
You are at least partially right about some anti-MHL advocates who want the law removed because we don't want to wear a lump of foam on our heads. I'd count myself amongst those who don't want to wear a helmet. I consider cycling to be a safe activity (yes, I do cycle on main roads, I commute) and I do not consider a helmet to be necessary in most situations. I certainly consider that I should be able to make this choice for myself as I am able to do in just about any other activity. Why am I denied the choice not to wear a helmet? Cycling just isn't dangerous enough to justify this law, but this law certainly fuels the myth that cycling is very very dangerous, and all those who support this law are supporting the view that cycling is a particularly dangerous activity.
Furthermore, if it is so dangerous and we need to mandate head protection, why aren't those supporting this law calling for it to be strengthened and making soft shell helmets illegal, surely hard shell helmets offer better protection. Or is it just that you lot don't want to wear a bulkier hard shell helmet?

BMW confirms M Performance parts for 3 and 5 Series models
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Dec 18th, 2012 at 6:02PM
BMW has pulled back the curtain on a stack of M Performance parts for the 3 and 5 Series. Those include a spate of exterior aerodynamic tweaks, including a front splitter, unique rockers, a rear spoiler and a lower rear diffuser on the 3 Series. Likewise, 5 Series buyers can look forward to optioning up their sedans with an M Performance rear diffuser and a carbon fiber front splitter. Outside, the 3 Series can also be gussied up with a couple of graphics packages, but the kit isn't just for show. Owners can snap up a sharper suspension kit for the 3 Series comprised of new coil springs... Read More

The Chief Rabbi on gay marriage: silence not an optionSimon Rocker
Jul 6, 2012
The Chief Rabbi has come under fire for his opposition to civil marriage for gay and lesbian couples (see our front-page story this week).
Since there is no question of the government forcing religious groups to carry out same-sex weddings, his critics say that Chief Rabbi simply should have kept shtum rather than plunge into a contentious and divisive issue.
However, they overlook an important point. It is true that the commandments of the Torah are binding only on Jews. However, according to Orthodox theology, there are basic standards of morality which apply to all humanity known as the Seven Noahide Laws.
"The Left, the Jews and Israel"Winston Pickett
Jun 25, 2012
This is the subtitle of a new book by historian Robert Wistrich (University of Nebraska Press). As a stand-alone, its apparent neutrality gives little away, reminding me of T.S. Elliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. The topic appears cool and analytical, 'like a patient, etherised upon a table.'
Until, that is, you look at the full title: From Ambivalence to Betrayal.
When talking about the Left, this pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

Should the Chief Rabbi stay on?Simon Rocker
Jun 19, 2012
An online petition has been started calling for the Chief Rabbi to stay on beyond his scheduled retirement date. Lord Sacks is planning to move on after 21 years in office in September 2013, six months after his 65th birthday.
The prospect of him postponing his departure seems unlikely. His close associates had long indicated he was minded to step down at 65. If he had wanted to remain for a couple of years or, like his predecessor Lord Jakobovits, until he was 70, the United Synagogue would surely not have turned down the offer.
He will be able to continue doing what he does best, writing, speaking and broadcasting, regardless of whether he holds the title of Chief Rabbi or not: there seems no reason, for instance, why he would have to give up his Thought for the Day slot when he leaves office. His seat in the Lords will also guarantee him a national platform. In demand as a speaker internationally, he will be free to pursue engagements abroad without having to worry about ceremonial appearances or functional duties back home.
Antisemitism & Its Antidotes (5)Winston Pickett

Antisemitism & Its Antidotes (4)Winston Pickett
Jun 8, 2012
If talking about antisemitism – and by that I mean discussing or engaging with it as a subject in verbal or written form – poses challenges all its own, certainly one of them is conceptual.
Let's face it. Antisemitism is a lousy word. Essays, prefaces, monographs and footnotes have all but exhausted themselves trying to explain what is, was or could be meant by the term. It has been parsed, dissected, etymologised and psychoanalysed probably more than any other '-ism' in the dictionary. All of which, begs a strictly neutral question: If a word has been so ardently debated, what does that tell us about its precision?
Aren't terms – especially ones that are meant to describe a world-view or thought structure – supposed to be clear and unambiguous? If they're not, does this render them less effective – or at least more problematic?
Bat Mitzvah nose jobs - according to the Daily MailJessica Elgot
Jun 8, 2012
Apparently my nose is newsworthy this morning. As a woman with a natural "Jewish" nose, I am pleased to report, I am part of a new phenomenon.
The headline of the article by Victoria Wellman was "Young, Jewish and beautiful: Nose jobs decline as rhinoplasty's biggest fans no longer fear their defining feature". Apparently, we Jewish women who have longed dreamed of the cute button nose are learning to embrace our hook-nosed honks. Or something to that effect.
The line comes from a cosmetic surgeon, once the darling of "young, affluent Jewish girls", who was quoted in a Tablet magazine article.
England squad visits Auschwitz - the right moveMarcus Dysch
Jun 8, 2012
The England players who visit Auschwitz today are sure to have a moving experience.
Ever since former boss Fabio Capello decided to base the squad in Krakow for the Euro 2012 tournament, the FA has worked hard to ensure the right tone is set.
Their partnership with the Holocaust Educational Trust is an impressive one. Today's visit is not just a quick tourist stop-off for Roy Hodgson's men; it is the first step in an educational programme that will benefit not only the players, but thousands of British schoolchildren.

As conspiracy-theorists would have it, "the Jewish media" – the JC included – has eyes and ears everywhere. Apparently even in the Algarve, where, on holiday for a few days of sun, sea and sandcastles, I discovered a little reminder of home.
GCSE antisemitism: the hidden questionSimon Rocker
Jun 1, 2012
There has been a sharp divergence of opinion among Jewish educators about the wisdom of the question set in a GCSE religious studies exam this year, "Explain, briefly, why some people are prejudiced against Jews".
Some believe it was an open invitation for children to express antisemitic views. Others point out that there was little risk of this since the question appeared in a Judaism paper and reflected a prescribed topic about stereotyping and scapegoating that those sitting the paper would have studied. The exam board says that so far responses to the question in exam papers show that students correctly understood its intention.
Many of the 1,000 pupils who sat the paper would have been pupils at King David Manchester and JFS.

Each panel is free-standing, with images on either side, and text in English, Spanish and French. They're arranged in a semi-circle around a central square downtown. Rather than disrupting the space, they act as dual-purpose fencing. Between the circus performers and the live band. Between the kiddie cars and the souvenir stands. Framed in dark black, the panels document loss of permafrost in the mountains of Altai, coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef, and hurricane threats in Cancun, among other steadily-eroded places. UNESCO touts the use of satellite imagery as a way of documenting World Heritage Sites, a major focus of the organization. Now it seems the World has become a . . . World Heritage Site. In the middle of cotton candy and toy cars.
Cancun is full of cultural contradictions. The major climate change conference that it is hosting is way outside of town, causing, ironically, giant traffic jams. Central Cancun, with its narrow streets and crumbling sidewalks, is a stark contrast to the polished Hotel Zone, which has itself undergone extensive beach restoration following the hurricane damage documented by the photos. It's fascinating to watch people look up from their cell phones at the changes happening on our planet. Maybe soon this kind of contrast will be less jarring.
Moe Beitiks will be in Cancun following COP16 as a Digital Media Partner until December 5th. Follow her with us or on twitter.

A new study has found a link between poor chewing habits and dementia in senior citizens. NY1's Cheryl Wills filed the following report.
For senior citizens, it's not what you eat but how well you chew it. A new study suggests poor chewing ability may increase the risk of mental impairment.
Swedish researchers studied more than five hundred elderly patients over the age of 76 and measured their brain functioning with tooth loss, specifically their ability to eat hard foods like apples. They found that seniors who did not chew their food thoroughly were more like to suffer cognitive impairment like confusion and problems remembering.
This news comes as no surprise to Queens Dentist Dr. Cecilia LaRoche. She says many of her senior patients have problems chewing because of dentures.
"They are very uncomfortable, they're bulky, they're large, they don't fit right sometimes," notes LaRoche.
The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, also found an increased cognitive risk for seniors who had their natural teeth, emphasizing that it was poor chewing that was critical factor that caused reduced blood flow to the brain -- with or without dentures.
"If they're not chewing and biting properly then they're going to have problems," says LaRoche.
Another study by researchers in California also found a link between dementia and poor brushing habits. Women in particular were found to have a 65 percent higher risk of memory loss compared with those who brushed their teeth every day.
Experts say it's important to chew thoroughly and brush vigorously to prevent mental deterioration later in life.

Rooms at the Vivanta Hotel are located in the brightly colored tower with views overlooking the green roof promenade below. Each room is designed specifically with the modern-day nomad in mind – the live/work apartments make business travel much more comfortable. The naturally-lit rooms are conserve space and have zones designated for work and relaxation. Guests of the hotel also have many options for socializing around the hotel in the various open bars, restaurants and the green roof promenade.
The green roof tops the open-air bar, providing insulation and reducing heat gain to keep the space underneath cool. Rainwater is also harvested from this ground plane and used to irrigate the landscape. The beautiful and colorful facade of the building, which fades from green to blue to represent the shift from the ground to the sky, was specially designed to minimize heat gain in the hotel rooms. The facade is composed of highly-reflective glass with both dark and light tints in order to achieve the overall thermal transfer value (OTTV) desired for the building.
Since the hotel's completion in January 2009, it has garnered five design awards, including Building of the Year for the 10th Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Architectural Design Awards 2010.

How to Find a Veterinarian for Your Chihuahua
Part of the Chihuahuas For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Taking responsibility for bringing a Chihuahua into your home means taking responsibility for your dog's health, so you need to find a vet as soon as your pooch comes home — or even sooner if your pup is still getting puppy shots. Sharpen your search for a good vet with one or more of the tactics in the following list:
Ask your Chihuahua's breeder. Even if the breeder lives far away, he or she may have sold pups to people in your area who can recommend a vet.
When you see people walking Toy dogs in your neighborhood, ask them what vets they use and if they're satisfied with the quality of care.
Call the nearest major veterinary hospital for recommendations.
Checking a dog's airway, breathing, and circulation.
1. An animal control agency run by local government to protect people from animals, take in strays, and manage animal issues and problems within the community. 2. A privately run shelter managed by individuals who want to protect, advocate for, and find homes for animals.
A method of feeding dogs as closely as possible what they would eat in the wild: raw flesh and bones, along with vegetable matter from the stomachs of their prey. The acronym stands for either Bones and Raw Food or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food.

To kill an animal to relieve suffering.
Hair that extends over a dog's eyes.
Long hair that runs from armpit to paw on the backs of a dog's legs.
Keeping a constant supply of dog food available so that the dog can decide when and how much to eat. It works best in single-dog households where there's no competition for food.
