Development tools for dynamic languages - Programmer picks
PHP, Ruby, Python, and beyond - developers weigh in on seven popular IDEs and tools aimed at dynamic languages
By Paul Krill | InfoWorld | Published: 14:23, 27 November 2012
The increasing popularity of dynamic languages has given rise to a growing arsenal of development tools tailored to developers using languages like Ruby, PHP, and Python. So widespread is the array of tools available that it's often difficult to choose the right dev tool to suit one's needs.
We asked software developers for perspectives on the some of the more popular dynamic language development tools in use today: what they like, what they find lacking. The following is a selection of development tools catering to PHP, Python, Ruby, and beyond, as described by the software developers who use them. After all, who better to aid you in making your choice than your peers?
SapphireSteel Software Ruby in Steel
This development tool for the Ruby language integrates with Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE and also allows access to Microsoft's Team Foundation Server source code repository, says user Andrew Teare, a designer specialist at machinery maker Husky. "They did a good job of making it work in Visual Studio," Teare says. "Bottom line, it definitely helps us develop our Ruby code, especially as a big team."
Husky is using Ruby to develop a domain-specific language to describe machine configuration. Teare cites some issues with Ruby in Steel: "While its IntelliSense capability is good for a dynamic language, it's not as good as it is in C#. The Ruby debugger also is inferior to C#'s debugger."

The true story (as with many historic true stories that go uncredited) Is truly amazing, I didnt want it to end and was biting my lip to hold myself in check on a number of occasions. Fantastic acting, remarkable story and a tale that tugs your heart strings as well as reminding us of the sheer horrors man has commited on his fellow humans throughout history and a warning that we need to learn from it so it never happens again. Im glad a blockbuster film can help us never to forget. Will be buying this as soon as its available. Five stars all round!!!!!!!

Covering Violence: 12 Points Of Concern
My dear all :
Next week I will participate at the Global Peace Summit in Bogota, Colombia, where (if the power is by my side) I will be a speaker trying to defend my "change of look" proposal into the media coverage, in front of 3 huge war correspondents!!! (ouch, I am really nervous!) http://www.cumbremundialdepaz2009.org/index.htm
Bu also, I will be leading a workshop about peace journalism. And precisely now when I was reading and preparing some materials for the workshop, among my documents I found this points written by Johan Galtung, (the peace journalism's father) and I thought that it was a very good –and short- material to share with you.
If someone is interested on have the entire document please let me know (or better yet, write me an e-mail) to send it to you.
Hugs, Peace and as always, my total admiration to each of you :-)
Kisses: Xthina (and pleaaaaaasee!! wish me look, I am so excited but so scared as well !!) Xthina " )
Covering Violence: 12 Points Of Concern
l. Decontextualizing violence: focusing on the irrational without looking at the reasons for unresolved conflicts and polarization.
2. Dualism: reducing the number of parties in a conflict to two, when often more are involved. Stories that just focus on internal developments often ignore such outside or "external" forces as foreign governments and transnational companies.
3. Manicheanism: portraying one side as good and demonizing the other as "evil."
4. Armageddon: presenting violence as inevitable, omitting alternatives.
5. Focusing on individual acts of violence while avoiding structural causes, like poverty, government neglect and military or police repression.
6. Confusion: focusing only on the conflict arena (i.e., the battlefield or location of violent incidents) but not on the forces and factors that influence the violence.
7. Excluding and omitting the bereaved, thus never explaining why there are acts of revenge and spirals of violence.
8. Failure to explore the causes of escalation and the impact of media coverage itself.
9. Failure to explore the goals of outside interventionists, especially big powers.
l0. Failure to explore peace proposals and offer images of peaceful outcomes.
11. Confusing cease-fires and negotiations with actual peace.
12. Omitting reconciliation: conflicts tend to reemerge if attention is not paid to efforts to heal fractured societies. When news about attempts to resolve conflicts are absent, fatalism is reinforced. That can help engender even more violence, when people have no images or information about possible peaceful outcomes and the promise of healing.
Revolutionary points!
My dear,
thank you for sharing this, and we wish you much courage as you speak your power!!! I know you will blow them away (in only the most peace-ful of ways)
These points are fabulous - I will be printing out to tack on my wall. Every single newsroom should have these points staring them in the eye.
Love and admiration,
Jensine Larsen
World Pulse
Thanks dear
Thanks dear. And yes Best of Luck.
Am happy for you.
I know you will speak out with all the confidence and passion.
Wishing all the very Best.
These are great points. I am sure you will do a wonderful job of speaking and conducting a workshop on Peace Journalism. Do you know if the Peace Journalism movement has made any inroads in the United States? I am involved with teaching and promoting nonviolent communication (NVC) and would love to connect with a journalist who promotes this type of reporting.
My thoughts will be with you as you share your voice.
Best of luck
Wishing you best of luck as you present these great point to your audience. i have no doubt in my heart that it will be successful.

Dear Xthina,
This is fantastic. It will be great to have you present peace journalism in front of war correspondents. Don't be nervous...what you are doing is really important! You're going to be brilliant!
The points you raised were very insightful. Thank you for giving us a new way forward! Could you please send the full article to my email? I'd love to see it.
With love and admiration,
Kudos to you
Xthina, what wonderful news. You have such great insight into peace journalism and communications, and I am sure will have much to share. The words you quoted are powerful indeed and are a wonderful template for anyone, whether they have experienced violence or not. They are also a great foundation for the practice of non-violent communication.
Best wishes with the workshop. I know that you will do well and will be received with the respect you deserve. We will all be thinking of you, with love.

How much is teaching like parenthood?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 03-19-2010 - 6:19pm
I've been told by many teachers that teaching is "exactly" like parenthood, and it freaks me out! Some go as far to say that teaching is even easier than parenthood. I don't have children but we are planning on starting a family later this year, and these comments terrify me. I come home exhausted from work every day. My students are 9th and 10th graders ("remedial" students), and all day I tell them to stop this, stop that, put this down, etc. They talk back and are rude to each other, and whenever I write them up or send them out, I get an earful.
When I tell this to people who have children, they smirk and tell me how much harder it will be when I have a two year old all day. I can't imagine that a two year old (or even a few) could be more draining and less rewarding than disrespectful teenagers. I know it's more constant work, instead of an hour each day with certain kids, but aren't there more redeeming moments in being with a baby than being around 100 teenagers?
Is being a parent really similar to teaching? Because if it is, I have some thinking to do!
|Fri, 03-19-2010 - 7:36pm
|Fri, 03-19-2010 - 10:40pm
It's similar, but not the same. For me, I can be dispassionate about my students, but not about my own children. There is not the same level of emotional involvement.
What I have found however, is if I have a hard day at work with disciplining students, I have much less tolerance at home for my own kids. The last thing I want to do it discipline my own kids after doing it at school. My kids are all teenagers now so it's less of a problem, but it is hard. It sometimes feels like you're doing the same thing for 18hrs a day.
|Sat, 03-20-2010 - 9:25am
I love coming home to my kids at night! (they are still little) When you are teaching, you have no control over how those kids were raised. With my kids, I am hyper aware of mistakes other parents have made and refuse to let my kid be "one of those kids." (Well, I do my best, but I don't claim to be the greatest parent)
Teaching is not exactly like parenthood. Those kids in your classroom? Well, some may love you, some may kind of like you, and some well, they may not like you at all. You kids, especially when they are little, adore you unconditionally. When I had my son, I felt like the luckiest woman in the world to have two men who worshiped the ground I walked on. (Try finding that in a classroom! LOL!)
Yes, a 2 year old can be draining, but not always....but the difference is that you love that 2 year old and they love you back. You know that the 2 year old is not doing it just to piss you off or get away with something. The 2 year old is doing it because he/she is learning and growing.
As for being drained at the end of the day? Some days I come home drained and the kids cheer me up and re-engergize me. Sometimes I'm so tired I can barely deal with them (thank God for my husband).
So your last question? Yes, there are more redeeming moments with a baby than with a bunch of teenagers. :)
Good luck!

I've read all the other replies and they are very accurate and informative. You do have control over your own because you raise them and you make your expectations and values clear. Will they perfectly agreeable and compliant? Of course not, but you do develop the ability to read them, communicate with them, and compromise with them on your own terms.
Their attitudes and values develop when they are young. They will love and trust you and you have to make something out of that potential.
|Mon, 03-22-2010 - 6:48pm
As a teacher and a step-parent, I can say it can go both ways. One thing is for sure, at least for me: Because both my step-daughters have specific things going on with them (one has ADHD, the other is autistic), I am better able to service my own students, and because I have students who are similar to my step-daughters, I can better help my step-daughters.
I also find that many students who have terrible home lives often look to teachers to fill the roles which are voided at home. That's a lesson I learned the hard way but thankfully, there was an opportunity to correct the course with that student and I've been rewarded greatly as is the student.
|Sat, 04-10-2010 - 8:55am
I teach 9th and 11th grade students and have similar fears about parenthood. DH and I do not have any children yet but are currently TTC our first. I have come to the realization that our child will be just that...ours. The students I have at school are wonderful, fun, smart and creative, however I only see the 9th grade year or the 11th grade year. With our child I will want to see everything! I feel that I am very close to my students, but there is always a barrier because I am the authority figure and they are the students. I feel like seeing a little person who is 1/2 me and 1/2 my DH will be a totally different feeling than that I have with my students.
I do also wonder how I am going to teach all day and then come home to another child who needs attention and help. I am already exhausted and it is all I can do to make dinner and walk to dog before I am out of energy.
It is nice to know that other educastors have similar concerns. :)

Cnán laughed. "All of this land is like that."
Cnán shrugged. "I do not know that word," she said, though she had a dim recollection of a Turkic word that might mean the same thing. She tried to dredge up the word, but nothing felt quite right on her tongue. "Nor have I seen one," she admitted.
"A pity," Yasper said. "Neither have I."
Cnán smiled again. "There's still time," she said.
"I know, I know." Yasper flapped his hands and blew out, puffing up his cheeks. This…wasteland…wears on me. I've been trying to find some solace in my recipes, but my supplies are terribly meager, especially after…" He trailed off, and Cnán knew he was thinking about the loss of his horse in Kiev.
When he had fled from the fight with the Shield- Brethren, the Livonian commander Kristaps had returned through the same stinking tunnels they had used to reach the Shield-Maiden sanctuary. Upon emerging from the well house, the Livonian had stumbled upon her, Yasper's, and Finn's horses. He had taken all three—a smart ploy to reduce their ability to pursue him. Yasper hadn't been so distraught about the lack of his horse as he had been about the loss of his numerous satchels and jars and powders.
All of his alchemical supplies, gone.
Since then he had been trying to replenish his stores, with some mixed success. The market in the border town had supplied him with the firecrackers they had used so effectively against the Mongol war party, as well as a number of other basic ingredients. Yasper had been excited when they had first stumbled across the wormwood—the hearty plant native to these lands—but after days and days of seeing clumps of it everywhere, Yasper's enthusiasm had diminished drastically. Cnán knew little about the alchemist's recipes (and wanted to know very little, actually), but what she had gleaned was that all of his potions, unguents, powders, and salves were built from a carefully measured base of two or three simple ingredients.
Salt being one of those basic ingredients.
"What is it that you hope to create?" she asked, out of boredom more than any concerted interest.
Yasper offered her a wolfish grin. "Why, nothing more than the secrets of the universe, of course," he laughed.
"Every alchemist seeks to unlock the riddle of existence by discerning the secret methods by which God constructed the world. All of this," he gestured around them, "though this is not much, but all of the world was created through a complex set of instructions. Men have spent their entire lives trying to enumerate the multitudinous mystery of creation. Pliny—do you know Pliny? No, of course you don't— Pliny wrote thirty-seven volumes on the natural history of the world. Thirty-seven!" He sat up in his saddle, his mood improving as he spoke. "Can you imagine how complicated this world is that God has created? Don't you want to understand how all the various pieces fit together?"
"I hadn't really thought about it," Cnán admitted. "But why do you want to understand it? So that you can become a god too?"
Yasper shook his head. "That would be heresy," he clucked his tongue at her, a grin stretching his mouth. "No, we seek to understand who we truly are, and what our true purpose is. If we can comprehend how the world was made, and learn the power of transmutation—the art of changing one thing into another—could we not give ourselves that same gift?"
"Which gift?"
"Becoming something new."

How long is chin implant recovery?
How long is the recovery for when you get a chin implant? I would imagine that people look drastically different right after surgery. I mean they are already adding projection with the implant and then when you add a bunch of swelling on top of that, their chin must be HUGE for quite some time.
I always hate how surgeons try and pretend that recovery time is shorter than it is for operation. Like they claim that rhinoplasty swelling only lasts a few weeks or months... yeah right it can last up to 2 or 3 years!!
I have heard that your appearance returns to being somewhat normal after 1 to 2 weeks but the swelling could take from 6 to 12 months to totally disappear. I haven't had a chin implant but this is just what I heard.
Chin implant recovery few days.

Rebecca Wurzer Named Director of
UW-Eau Claire Children's Center
EAU CLAIRE - Rebecca Wurzer has been named director of the Children's Center at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Wurzer began her director duties July 1, said Dr. William Harms, associate vice chancellor of student services.
"Ms. Wurzer has 30 years of experience in the field of early childhood education, 28 of them at the Children's Center on campus," Harms said. "She's taught in every classroom and has done an excellent job as the interim director for the last three years."
As interim director, Wurzer has worked to create connections among the Children Center and various units and departments on campus, Harms said. As a result, UW-Eau Claire students spent nearly 3,000 hours last year observing, volunteering or conducting research at the center.
"Those kinds of interactions benefit both the university students and the children at the center," Harms said. "She's done a wonderful job of creating opportunities, which benefits everyone."
Wurzer also has strengthened the center's pre-school programs, and built partnerships with the JumpStart program and Western Dairyland's Head Start program, Harms said.
Located on campus, the Children's Center is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs. It provides children of students, faculty and staff with a high-quality program that is affordable and convenient.

5 September 1999
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
1. The months go by and we are drawing closer and closer to the Great
Jubilee which will begin the third millennium. At the close of this century
the panorama emerging before our eyes includes many shadows, such as the
suffering and injustice oppressing individuals and peoples, the violence and
the wars that unfortunately continue to bathe so many of the earth's regions
in blood. However, there are some comforting rays of light which prompt us
to look at the future with hope. Our optimism is based above all on the
certainty of God's constant help, which is always given to those who humbly
and trustfully implore it.

Healthy Sleep Tips
Establish a regular schedule - go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
Depriving yourself of sleep during the week and compensating on the weekends is unhealthy. Doing so throws off your sleep/wake cycle..
You will function better when you sleep at night and act in the daytime. Biological clocks are parallel to night/day cycle. In other words, there is a decrease in cognitive and motor skills during the brain's biological nighttime. Even when you're awake, your body knows when it should be sleeping and reacts accordingly with slower or delayed functions and responses.
Get continuous sleep. Disrupted sleep is not restorative.
Avoid long daytime naps (it will disrupt your sleep/wake cycle)
Best time to take a nap is between 1:00-4:00 PM and should be not longer than 15-30 minutes. Anything longer will effect your ability to get a quality night's sleep.
Make up for lost sleep by going to bed early instead of sleeping in.
Though it is so tempting to sleep in on the days you're tired or have nothing to do, your body craves consistentcy and will perform better if you wake up at the same time each day. If you need to catch up on sleep, go to bed early and wake at your normal time.
Return to sleep

March 11th 2012... On my way home from dropping my brother off in Prospect, I noticed a large bird sitting in a tree next to the Dam. Lo and behold it was the infamous American Bald Eagle that had been sited by others, but has always excluded my camera. Well today I got my revenge and I had my camera with me! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you one of two American Eagles that have been calling the dam home.

5 Changes to the Tax Code to Keep in Mind When Filing
By Dan Ritter
At over 4 million words and an edit rate of more than once per day, the U.S. tax code is a constantly evolving labyrinth of exceptions, special conditions, and byzantine bureaucracy that (let's face it) most people don't understand. Americans spend an estimated 6 billion hours each year doing taxes or jumping through tax-related hoops — that's nearly 25 hours for every person above the age of 18. We imagine most of it is spent finding creative ways to curse the Internal Revenue Service, creating voodoo dolls of Uncle Sam, or simply staring at the wall in a defeated, mind-numbing rage.
If you're like most Americans, though, you just bite the bullet, hire a professional, and wipe your hands of the whole mess. According to a report from Nina Olsen, the National Taxpayer Advocate, 60 percent of Americans hire a professional to shoulder the soul-crushing burden of tax preparation. This is great, if you can afford it. What's 25 hours of your time worth?
More from Wall St. Cheat Sheet: Is Your Paycheck Suffering From Obamacare Symptoms?
For those who can't or don't want to use professional assistance, there are really just two roads to follow. Either you resign yourself to your fate and, like 10 percent of Americans, file your taxes without any assistance — or you use commercial software that can help expedite the process. Whatever road you take, though, it helps to have a certain level of background knowledge about the tax code. In particular, it helps to know which taxes or deductions (especially those that apply to you) are changing. Here are some tax changes that took effect in 2013 that apply to many Americans, courtesy of the IRS.
1. Additional Medicare Tax
You are probably already familiar with the Medicare tax. Historically, Uncle Sam has charged a 2.9 percent tax to fund the healthcare service that was flat across all income levels. Half of it, 1.45 percent, is withheld from your paycheck, while the other half is paid by your employer. Those of you who are self employed know that you have to shoulder the whole 2.9 percent yourself.
Beginning in 2013, though, the government is charging an additional 0.9 percent for Medicare on Americans with incomes above a certain threshold. The new rate of 3.8 percent will apply to incomes of more than $125,000 for married single filers, $250,000 for married joint filers, and $200,000 for all other filers.
What You Need to Know About Taxes in 2014: Expired Tax Breaks, Obamacare Penalties & More
Despite all of those "no new taxes" type promises, tax bills are expected to edge higher for a number of taxpayers for the 2013 tax year. And 2014 holds even more surprises. Here's a quick look at what to expect:
Higher income taxpayers are going to pay more. You're going to figure this out in a few months when you file your tax return. And it's no fluke. It will happen again in 2014.
First, the top tax rate for taxpayers is now 39.6%. We haven't seen those kind of rates in almost 15 years. Those Bush-era tax cuts have finally expired, giving us the 20th century tax rates (gosh, that sounds really, really old). How high will it go? The 39.6% tax rate kicks in at $400,000 for individual taxpayers and $450,000 for married couples filing jointly.
All wages are subject to Medicare tax. That hasn't changed. But now, taxpayers who make over $200,000 ($250,000 for married taxpayers) will be subject to the Medicare surtax. If that's you, a Medicare surtax will be tacked on to your wages, compensation, or self-employment income over that amount. The amount of the surcharge is .9%.
Even if you aren't affected by the Medicare tax surcharge, you still may be subject to the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) if you have both net investment income and modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of at least $200,000 for an individual taxpayer and $250,000 for taxpayers filing as married. Net investment income includes items like interest, dividends, capital gains, rental and royalty income, and certain income from businesses. It doesn't include wages, unemployment compensation, operating income from a nonpassive business, Social Security Benefits, alimony, tax-exempt interest, self-employment income, Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends and distributions from certain Qualified Plans. For the entire details on the tax – and I mean entire – check out my colleague's "definitive" answers on the subject.
2014 Tax Changes to expect on your 2013 Tax Return
We are surprised how quickly the year has passed! On the income tax scene Congress continues to work on last minute income tax bills as of the date of this letter, but you can be assured we stay abreast of all the latest changes as they occur! With the economic issues this year you can be sure that we will work more diligently than ever to keep your tax bill at the lowest legal amount.
We are once again making our tax organizers available, for free, to anyone who requests one-if you have not used one in the past please call the office to request one for 2013, as it is our attempt to be as thorough as possible in the preparation of your return. If you received an organizer last year we will mail this year's organizer to the same address. The tax organizer may not be enough however, and we wanted to bring some special items to your attention below.
Home Owner Energy Credits
If you (and spouse if married) made or are considering investing in insulation, storm windows or doors, high efficiency furnaces or water heaters or similar energy improvements there is a 10-30% Federal income tax credit available in many cases. The bad news? It is limited to a maximum of $500 for insulation and storm doors but unlimited for solar, wind and geothermal power!
Mortgage Interest
Recent IRS scrutiny of home mortgage interest deductions now require us to carefully track re-financings and the use of loan proceeds. Please provide us with any new home loan information, closing statements from any re-financings, and a summary of what any additional loan proceeds were used for.
A scary IRS court case in 2008 reminds us of the rules on charitable contributions. ALL deductions of any amount must have a receipt. Any individual contribution over $250 must also have an acknowledgement letter from the charity, and the letter must be dated by the date we file your return. The letter should show the date and amount of any individual contribution over $250, and should also state that no goods or services were received in return for the contribution.
Foreign Accounts
If you have read any news in the last year you know that the IRS is looking closely for offshore accounts. If you have an account, rental property, or business interest with a value over $10,000 in a foreign country, or a foreign business ownership (not through a mutual fund) please let us know as some special rules will apply to you. There are substantial penalties for failure to disclose these items.
Mileage Deductions
Deductible mileage rates changed during the year. Please provide us with the number of medical miles you drove during the year for this deduction. This includes trips to the doctor, dentist, pharmacy, dialysis, as well as any charity related volunteer work mileage.
Education Credits
A major revision of college credits by President Obama has provided us with the "American Opportunity Credit", a special credit for undergraduate college students. If you have children in college or near to college, please discuss some options with us to assure that you receive the best benefit for these costs.
Rental Property
If you own rental property, this year the IRS has demanded substantially more information. We now need, FOR EACH PROPERTY SEPARATELY, the physical location, the type of property (single-family, duplex, etc), and Forms 1099-K received, and a record, by property of the number of days rented and the number of days used for personal purposes.
Roth IRA Conversions
You will be continue to hear from lots of "experts" this year that you need to convert your retirement accounts to Roth IRAs. While there are a number of advantages to conversions, there are an equal number of disadvantages that carry some major tax consequences. Please do not convert your accounts in 2013 without coming in to see us for an appointment to discuss both the positives and negatives. All conversions for 2013 must be completed by December 31, 2013.
Gift Changes
Effective 1/1/2013 the amount you may give to one person in one year without any return filing requirements has been increased to $14,000. Additionally, Congressional inaction on the estate tax front requires most people that have any substantial net worth to immediately consider estate planning. Please contact us to discuss these issues.
Worthless Stocks and Bonds
If you own stocks or bonds that became worthless this year please be sure to provide us with the cost and purchase dates so that we can take any allowable deductions.
Tax Planning
There is still time to setup an appointment for year end tax planning by December 31. We recommend a meeting if you have had any major changes during 2013 or are expecting major financial changes in 2013 such as retirement, inheritances, etc.
Future Income Tax Rates & Other
Now that the Congress has passed the biggest tax increase since World War II we can do some planning for future years. Congress has also dramatically changed the estate tax rules for the future. In both cases we highly recommend that when you are getting your information to us for your 2013 Federal tax return that you set an appointment for an after tax season "Tax Tune Up" to examine tax and estate planning strategies. If your income is over $200,000 it is almost mandatory that we meet for future tax planning because of surtaxes.
If you receive any Form 1099-k please be sure to bring it to us, it may have a direct impact on your return.
There are literally hundreds of other changes, extensions and deletions that we will consider this year while preparing your return. Because of these changes we are requesting everyone to try to have their tax information in to us at least two weeks earlier than normal, and no later than March 21, 2014. Please rest assured that we will utilize our best resources to once again provide you with timely, complete and accurate service while keeping your tax burden to the lowest legal amount. Thank you again for your continued support.

x17724 Bronwen Mullin The Rabbinical School
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Major: Master of Arts, Midrash and Biblical Exegesis

After JTS (I plan to): make Jewish theater that is intellectually provocative and spiritually compelling, relevant in today's world and linked to the rabbinic tradition of our People from the last 2,000 years.

Extracurricular/cocurricular activities: Educator at Nehirim, Limmud NY, and the Hebrew school circuit; musical director and composer of Chalom: A Dream Opera, NYC International Fringe Festival; assistant director to Yossi Yizraely for Bratslav-Beethoven-Bratslav at JTS; curator of the 2013 Drisha Arts Fellowship Exhibition at the JCC of Manhattan; and cofounder of Meta-Phys Ed, a Jewish multidisciplinary performance collaborative

 Internship(s): Spiritual team leader of Kehillat Romemu's Young Tish Favorite classes at JTS: Death in Aggadic Narratives with Rabbi Burton Visotzky and Music Composition with Cantor Gerald Cohen

 Best JTS experience: Doing an independent study on Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer with Professor Visotzky and composing music for a puppetry piece about the life of the Sage Eliezer ben Hyrcanus. Three favorite things about living in New York City: The diversity of Jewish community, access to really great theater, and the Lower East Side

What moved you to become a rabbi/cantor at JTS? I was interested in attending JTS as an MA/PhD student in 2007, but neither my Hebrew nor my textual background were advanced enough. I spent the next few years in Drisha's Arts Fellowship developing my skills and cultivating what would become my focus: creating provocative Jewish theater. When I considered the graduate program at JTS again in 2010, I found out that Professor Visotzky had mentored two personal heroes of mine while they were here: Rabbi Jill Hammer (author of Sisters at Sinai) and singer/songwriter Alicia Jo Rabins (Girls in Trouble). So it became clear to me: if I wanted to make deep and compelling Jewish art in the most intellectually rigorous environment, and if I believed that this kind of work was my religious purpose and obligation, then I had to be a rabbinical student at JTS.

When is Torah most alive for you in your JTS experience? When I'm learning from and collaborating with JTS's passionate and creative teachers, including Professor Visotzky, Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky, Dr. Marjorie Lehman, Rabbi David Hoffman, and Cantor Gerald Cohen. These are people who are propelled and enlivened by our tradition, and I feel more charged and alive in their presence.
 Extracurricular/cocurricular activities: Educator at Nehirim, Limmud NY, and the Hebrew school circuit; musical director general/faculty_imgs/Bronwen.jpg

5 Winter Weather Losers
With the East Coast's recent snow storms in mind, I've already listed my five
winter weather winners. Now here are my blizzard losers.
Again, note that the weather's impact will differ from industry to industry. Benefits to some of these companies could be short-lived and should not be extrapolated to longer periods of time. On the other hand, a drop in same-store sales by 1% or 2% could have a significant impact on earnings, which might be reflected in revisions to analysts' estimates. As always, do your homework to ascertain the impact, if any, to each stock.
