Choice & The Chosen: The Divided Debate of Jews & School Choice
This Friday, I will be giving a lecture about my dissertation, Choice Among the Chosen: The School Choice Movement and the American Jewish Community, at Millsaps College.
I haven't really looked at my dissertation since defending it this past June, but it has been fun to revisit the story – and good motivation to start moving it toward publication. It's a story worth sharing; here's just a taste.
I was driven to write about the topic after attending a rally for school choice initiatives at Beren Academy in Houston, Texas. Houston boasts an ever-growing Orthodox Jewish population. I attended the rally with my father, who was a Republican at the time—and remains a Southern Baptist to this day. He had never met an Orthodox Jew, but quickly felt right at home when "Rabbi T." began speaking.
With a strong Brooklyn accent, the rabbi fired up the crowd by asking: "Who's a proud American? Who's a proud Texan?!"
The crowd cheered, and Rabbi T. continued: "We proud Americans like having choice…this is what democracy is all about. We choose our profession, how we lead our lives, what brand to buy at the supermarket, so why shouldn't we as Jews be able to choose our education and not decide between food or day school tuition?"
My father was nodding in agreement. He asked, "Are these people Jewish? They sound like Republicans to me."
I looked at him in amazement. "Dad, there are plenty of Jewish Republicans."
It wasn't a new thing for me to hear observant Jews espousing rhetoric that reflected Republican values. What was more surprising was the fact they were staunchly arguing for government funding for parochial schools. Historically, the American Jewish community has ardently supported church-state separation. When did that change, and why?
Turns out that some Jews have been advocating government funds for parochial/religious schools for decades – since the early 1960s. The leading advocates for government funds for Jewish schools were Agudath Israel, Torah Umesorah, and the Orthodox Union. For Orthodox lobbying groups, who did not want to send their children to mixed-gender schools, their constitutional right to education trumped Establishment clause concerns. They claimed to need government support because the Jewish community wasn't funding their institutions.
At the time, Jewish Federations did not want to support Orthodox schools teaching values not held by Jews in the mainstream community. In fact, at one debate, a female American Jewish Congress member threw a subway token at Rabbi Moshe Sherer, president of Agudath Israel, snarkily remarking, "…you must need this for your ride home. That's all the aid you will get from the liberal Jewish community. It isn't my responsibility to support your religious choices."
Leo Pfeffer, the leading Jewish lawyer who fought against school prayer, fought tooth and nail against the work of those like Sherer. The harder Pfeffer fought against federal and state funds going into these schools, the more motivated the Orthodox community became. The battle grew ugly. Pfeffer and his allies were able to convince the Courts throughout the late 1960s and 1970s to declare all but paltry aid to nonpublic schools unconstitutional. In response, Orthodox Jews and Catholics tried new approaches – namely tax credits and vouchers, which come with very little government oversight.
When evangelical Protestants joined the mix, powerful changes in educational policy occurred, ones that increased economic inequality and decreased racial diversity in the American educational system. The voucher and tax credit approach was eventually deemed constitutional. Orthodox Jews, Catholics, and evangelicals collectively wrought this change, all believing it led to more moral schooling for their children. (Evangelicals were once against government funding for private schools as well, especially since up until the 1960s public schools reflected distinctly Protestant values. Public schools were essentially tools for disseminating their values, but that changed after the Supreme Court outlawed prayer and bible reading at school.)
A lot of people think the Moral Majority grew as a result of Roe v. Wade. But the Moral Majority was formed as a result of the Carter administration trying to withdraw tax exemptions from Christian schools, formed in the wake of des-segregation and secularization of public education. Tax exemptions saved these private schools a tremendous amount of money. If those had been revoked, these many of these schools would have dissolved.
Religious private schools clearly still exist, receive tax exempt status, vouchers, tax credits, and so on – a victory for Sherer and his allies. The amount they receive is no longer paltry, either. Last year, $1,233,200,000 was spent on tuition for approximately 337,000 students attending private schools, and that money essentially comes with no government oversight, allowing schools to teach whatever they want and admit whomever they want. Depending on the state, some of that goes to the nearly 255,000 students enrolled in 861 Jewish day schools. In states like New York, yeshivot receive millions each year for things like mandatory services. In all of these cases, that is money not going to public schools. With charter schools also booming, public schools are ultimately getting fewer resources which in turn, hurts public school students.
This reality is very pronounced here in Mississippi, and certainly in Jackson. Statistics show that a large percentage of Jackson Public School students drop out in ninth grade, and the turnover rate for teachers and administrators is abysmal. Jackson residents who have the means to leave the public school system have plenty of nice private school options from which to choose.
So, what do you think? When it comes to Jewish values, is it more important for Jews to fight against school choice initiatives, advocating for better public education for all? Or should they push for more school choice/voucher and tax credit initiatives, promoting private school options while giving lower and middle income Jewish families more funding to access to an increasingly expensive Jewish day school education?

To Plant or Not to Plant Seed: The Truth of Homosexuality in the Bible
[Editor's Note: This post is not our typical "Southern & Jewish" fare; one of our contributors, Rabbi Marshal Klaven, wanted to share a sermon he wrote about homosexuality in the Torah, in light of the ongoing equality debate and the prominence of arguments around this topic "based on biblical texts".]
To Plant or Not to Plant Seed: The Truth of Homosexuality in the Bible
Ladies and gentleman of the jury, Your Honor – the Holy One, Blessed be God, I stand before you today to protest a great injustice and to defend the unalienable rights of fellow members in our human family. Every day, our brothers and sisters – people created in Your Divine image – are having their basic human liberties restricted or altogether stripped away. They are often harassed and tormented; they are often barred from supporting loved ones in times of great need; they are often prohibited from marriage; and, in some places, they are legally thrown out of public places like restaurants and theaters.[1]
Why? What supposed crime have they committed? Simply: falling in love with another human being of the same gender.
And, frankly, it deeply upsets me that this injustice is perpetrated and perpetuated by people of faith, who claim that such blatant discrimination and unabashed bigotry are justified by Your Holy Word. Specifically, contained within the Holiness Code, part of a special section in the book of Leviticus, they point to a group of laws dealing with inappropriate sexual relations. According to just two lines in the entire Hebrew Bible, both of which are found within the double Torah portion of Acharei Mot/K'doshim, we are warned that "if a man lies with a man, as one lies with a woman, the two of them have done a to-eivah, an 'abhorrent thing;'[2] they shall be put to death – their blood guilt is upon them."[3] (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13)
So, no, I will not argue today whether or not homosexual sex is prohibited in the Bible.[4] Clearly, it is. However, I will attempt to answer the question that so often goes unasked in this debate, which is "why was it prohibited?" What about homosexual sex was abhorrent to our ancestors? To answer this pivotal question, which will dramatically change the course of the conservation, I call forward the expert testimony of Robert Alter, Professor of Hebrew Language, renown Biblical commentator. "The evident rationale for such a prohibition," explains Alter, "seems to be the wasting of seed in what the law envisages as a grotesque parody of heterosexual intercourse."[5]
Why? What's the problem with this parody? Well, the problem, according to the Bible, is that heterosexual intercourse, wherein the seed of human life (i.e. sperm) is implanted in the fertile ground of the woman's womb, is meant for one purpose and one purpose only: to create life, to procreate, "to be fruitful and multiply." First issued as a blessing in Genesis 1:28, these words only became a Divine command to man upon the depopulation of the world after the flood in Genesis 9:6.[6] There, these words are found among others which deal with a case of homicide. This is intentional, writes the master commentator RaSHI, "for anyone who does not engage in reproduction should be compared to one who sheds blood," as both require a death penalty.[7]
Anyone, hmmmm? Well then, based upon this rationale a lot of people would be slated for death.[8] Because, in addition to those who engage in homosexual sex, anyone – homosexual or heterosexual – who engages in sex using contraceptives (e.g. condoms), or anyone – homosexual or heterosexual – who masturbates, is likewise guilty of the same crime: wasting seed. What?! Don't believe me? Then please allow me to introduce into evidence the case of Onan, Judah's second eldest son. According to the Biblical testimony, "Whenever Onan went to join with Tamar, he let his seed go to waste. What he did," states the Bible, "was displeasing to the Lord, so God took his life."[9]
Given this precedent, some may wish to continue their prosecution and persecution of homosexuals. After all, they claim, "God instructed us, in this Holiness Code, 'to reprove our kinsman.'"[10] True, God did say we should "reprove our kinsman;" however that line ends with "but, we may not incur any guilt because of him." That is to say, when we see someone doing something we believe to be harmful, we are obligated to say something. However, as the second part of the verse implies, it has to be done in such a way as to not be disrespectful. For, we cannot resolve one sin by creating another. Besides, in God's law of nature, death eventually comes. Not in body, but in name, as one who does not procreate, has no one to carry it on.
With that, Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I rest my case. Clearly, without any true Biblical basis, upon which to ground such injustices, I ask that you dismiss all grievances against these fellow human beings, our kinsmen in the family of God. For, as social psychologist Erich Fromm deduced, "In essence, all human beings are identical. We are all part of One; we are One. This being so, it should not make any difference whom we love," as long as we love with all of our hearts, all of our minds, all of our souls.[11] With this greater truth, may we go on to honor both God's Holy Words better, as well as all those who hold these Words near and dear: heterosexual and homosexual alike. Kein y'hi ratzon, may this be God's will as well as our own.
[1] For example, while living in Cincinnati, OH for seminary training at HUC-JIR, I learned of a law there, which allowed a proprietor of a public place to throw someone out of their establishment if he/she suspected the individual of being gay, leaving this individual without any legal recourse. While this law was thankfully repealed in 2004 by 67% of the voters, many cities still have such discriminatory allowances.
[2] It is important to note that the Hebrew word to-eivah ("abhorrent," or sometimes translated as "abomination") occurs numerous times in the Bible. Taking stock of these, Rabbi Richard Friedman commented, "to-eivah is a relative term in the Bible, which varied according to human perceptions. For example, in Genesis, Joseph tells his brothers that 'any shepherd is a to-eivah/an abhorrent thing to Egypt' (46:34); but obviously shepherding is not a to-eivah/an abhorrent thing to the Israelites, as they proudly perform this role."
[3] Some would like to add Sodom and Gomorrah to this list. However, nowhere in that story does the Bible say anything about homosexual sex. It is merely inferred from the line: "Bring them (i.e. the men) out to us, that we may get to know them." (Gen. 19:5) It is true. Occasionally, "to know" is the Bible's way of saying "sex;" but not always. Case in point: the beginning of the book of Exodus. There we are told "a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph." (Ex. 1:8). If everywhere the word "to know/yada'at" means "sex," then we must conclude that the previous king of Egypt and Joseph were engaged in a homosexual relationship. And, because it did not continue with the new king, the Pharaoh became upset and enslaved our people.
[4] I explicitly state "homosexual sex" rather than "homosexuals," because the Bible is clearly not prohibiting a person nor is it calling them abhorrent. The Biblical text is specifically referring to an act as abhorrent.
[5] Robert Alter. The Five Books of Moses: A Translation with Commentary. W.W. Norton & Co.: New York, 2004. p. 623
[6] The prohibition was addressed only to man, because of our ancestors' limited knowledge about procreation. According to their understanding, all the material needed to reproduce life was contained with the zerah/the seed (i.e. the sperm), as a woman's egg is never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Hence, that is the reason why sex between two women was never prohibited in the Bible, though included later by the rabbinic sages.
[7] RaSHI commentary to Genesis 9:6
[8] Kinsey, Alfred C. et al. Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Indiana University Press: Philadelphia. 1948 and 1998, p. 499. According to this study, Kinsey reported that 92% of men engage in masturbation. In Kinsey, Alfred C. et al. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. Indiana University Press: Philadelphia. 1953 and 1998, p. 142. According to this study, Kinsey reported that 62% of women engage in masturbation. A similar study was done in 2006 by Gerressu M., Mercer C., Graham C., Wellings K., Johnson A., called "Prevalence of masturbation and associated factors in a British national probability survey." Arch Sex Behav 37 (2): 266–78. According to their results, 95% of men and 71% of women masturbate.
[9] See Genesis 38:6-10. The Mishnah, written in the first century of the Common Era, makes reference to this act. As it is written: "The hand that oftentimes makes 'examinations' is – among woman – praiseworthy, but among men, let it (i.e. the hand) be cut off!" Just in case we were fooled by the euphemism "examination," tractate Niddah in the Babylonian Talmud makes it clear that "examination refers only to the emission of semen." (BT Niddah 13a).

Spectra is one of the slicker synthetic lines, and IIRC as such usually has a slightly different splicing technique than traditional double braids.
Another thought, was what if I had a MOB and he somehow needed us to grab him over a lifeline or was entangled? I carry a rigging knife on my belt, but not a bolt cutter... time counts in our cold waters for MOB and hypothermia sets in fast. I could easily cut through it and make the grab.
Many people use lashings at one end of the lifelines for just that reason.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Looking for a fun upcycled craft to make from old glass bottles? Create Love Letter Bottlesfrom Melony Bradley. This is a fun way to show someone you care! Get creative and write inspiring notes to loved ones.
- Small glass bottles
- Sizzix's Tim Holtz Hardware Findings die
- National Nonwovens brown felt
- Cord
- Aleene's Collage Pauge
- Embellishments
- I used those mini "airplane" sized wine bottles to make an embellished letter keeper that I can display. I attached a cord to the inside lid so that when the lid is removed, the letter comes out. Sort of a message in a bottle type thing.
- I used Sizzix's Tim Holtz Hardware Findings die to cut the key hole from National Nonwovens brown felt. Vintage dictionary pages provide a fitting background and embossed metal sheets from Walnut Hollow provide a small border. My favorite part of making these was searching through old book pages to come up with fitting phrases that describe the theme of each love letter. I used Aleene's Collage Pauge to apply these to painted Patera Findings.
- My second favorite part was embellishing the lids with paint, beads and pearls. The keys are a scrapbook embellishment find from K and Company. They ensure that my old love letters are safe, under lock and key.

Promiseland: Are We Here? [Editorial]Published: June 12, 2011 in Tech N9ne by Victor Sandoval
The atmosphere lingering above the Strange Music compound in Lee's Summit, MO is almost like that of another world.  Upstairs, the social marketing team works in an overheated space.  The thermostat reads 83 degrees.  The air conditioning chose to malfunction on this day, but that hasn't slowed the workers in their effort to keep fans informed over Facebook, Twitter, the Strange Music Blogs, and even Tech N9ne's official website.  Below, Tech N9ne sits at the main front desk taking calls and answering questions for several interviews.  Earlier, Tech had arrived to the office and mentioned that he had a full day with eleven interviews lined up.  In the days prior, MTV and HipHopDX.com had been through these very hallways, taking a peek into the world of Strange Music. The buzz circulating around the break room is almost like its own living entity. Publicists and industry insiders type away on their laptops, keeping track of sales numbers.  Travis O' Guin sits quietly, almost as if he was carefully contemplating his next chess move.  Not saying a word, he just watches and listens. With a concentrated look on his face, Travis O'Guin resembles a general, rather than the CEO of the top independent music label. The feeling in the air is powerful, but exciting at the same time.  Everyone from the workers in the warehouse to the employees scattered about can feel it.  Nobody wants to say it, but everyone can feel it. Tech N9ne is about to break through.
Upon release, All 6's And 7's created a frenzy unlike any other Tech N9ne album before it.  Early reports indicated that Best Buys around the country were selling out of their exclusive edition. iTunes' front page showed All 6's And 7's at #3 in overall sales, staying atop albums from Lady Gaga and Arctic Monkeys. This was after less than 24 hours.  Something was happening. This album was it. There was no turning back.  This was absolutely, positively do or die.  If this album did not tear down the barriers of the industry, then nothing would. Tech N9ne took a risk just like he did when he first created Strange Music.  The leap of faith was enormous, but before the clock had even struck twelve on June 7, the end result was looking promising.
For years, fans have been loyally following Tech every step of the way.  When Absolute Power launched the FTI movement, the fans were right there with their middle fingers pointed high in the air. When Tech took four years to release Everready, fans begged for more music . Every success and failure, the fans have been there.  It was no surprise then, that when Tech confirmed the numerous high profile collaborations on All 6's And 7's, the fans seemed divided. There were those who weren't quite ready to share Tech with the rest of the world, especially if it meant mainstream success.  There were others who understood the message in Tech's music, and stood by his side no matter what. And so it was, those that stuck with Tech N9ne would move forward in the era of All 6's And 7's. Those who chose to turn their backs to him would be left behind as the Strange Music world prepared for expansion. Tech N9ne calls his army of fans Technicians. That's exactly what they are, an army. A mass of devoted followers who are the very reason Tech N9ne is about to bring his music to the world.  It is the fans who have given All 6's And 7's the opportunity to spearhead a new revolution in the music industry.
Currently, insider reports estimate that Tech N9ne is about to have the biggest selling album of his career. Sources from Billboard have reported that All 6's And 7's could move upwards of 50,000 copies in it's first week, thus giving Tech N9ne the #3 position on Billboard's Top 200.  The significance of this occurrence is almost too much to express in words.  Every single fan who has ever wanted Tech N9ne to change the face of music is about to see it come to fruition. Tech N9ne's All 6's And 7's is at the cusp of landing at #3, directly behind mainstream giants Lady Gaga and Adele. The impact of this lies directly with the fans. Without the Technicians, there is no Tech N9ne, there is no Strange Music.  Each and every fan who has ever stood by Tech N9ne's music and hoped for his success, now has the opportunity to be a part of history in the making.
In the final hours of the battle, Tech N9ne is neck and neck with another mainstream band for the coveted #3 spot on Billboard.  This mainstream band is powered by the industry. What they don't have in their corner is the power of a Technician.  Leading into the last days of war on the industry, every Technician holds the power in their own hands to spread All 6's And 7's, to go out and purchase the album, to support the very man who has sacrificed everything for his music.  If ever there was a cry for change, this is it.  The lines are drawn, and as Technicians show their strength in numbers, no one in the music industry can comprehend what is about to happen. Hold steady because this, this is the Promiseland.

Then there are the discoveries that just made us wonder. What drove someone to wrap their valuables in a cloth and hide them almost 2,000 years ago? And why were people in Bronze Age Scotland gathering bones and burying them in bogs?
The finds span the last 50,000 years and cover territories from the cradle of civilization to what is today one of the world's most populous cities. These are a few of the discoveries that speak to us of both our record of ingenuity and our humanity. The enduring question is always: Were the people behind the evidence anything like us?

Apr 24 - Homily: Only Through Jesus
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Apr 24, 2014
Father Joachim comments on today's Gospel, showing how the disciples, even though they knew of the Resurrection, were still afraid and confused. Likewise, many Christians are afraid of showing their faith as our society becomes more and more hostile to Christ. Father encourages us to put our faith in practice, for Jesus is risen from the dead, and if we don't live the faith, how will it spread to the many who are still in darkness? Ave Maria! Mass: Thursday of Easter Week - Wkdy - Form: OF Readings: 1st: act 3:11-26 Resp: psa 8:2, 5, 6-7, 8-9 Gsp: luk 24:35-48

Golden State Warriors
Andrew Bogut tweets good news/bad news about ankle
Jul 23, 2012, 8:43 AM EDT
If everyone is healthy next year, the Golden State Warriors should be entertaining and even a playoff team in the West. But that's a big if since they are counting on Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut, two guys who have been injured a lot the past couple seasons, to return to form. You can argue…
Wes Johnson found his touch Saturday at NBA Summer League
Jul 22, 2012, 12:00 AM EDT
LAS VEGAS — To put it nicely, Wes Johnson was a bit underwhelming last season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That wasn't the case on Saturday night inside Cox Pavilion, however, as the former fourth overall pick put together quite the performance against the NBA D-League Select team in lovely Las Vegas. The wing player has…
Warriors, Wolves interested in Kirilenko… or maybe he chooses Moscow
Jul 20, 2012, 6:29 PM EDT
It's getting closer and closer to decision time for Andrei Kirilenko. He has said he's interested in coming back to the NBA, but if he doesn't like the offers he gets he could return to CSKA Moscow (where he played last season). You know they will take him. The Nets were the early frontrunners (Russian…

Damian Lillard continues to impress at NBA Summer League
Jul 20, 2012, 12:01 AM EDT

Nuggets may have something in France's Evan Fournier
Jul 15, 2012, 7:59 AM EDT
LAS VEGAS — Denver has its starting two guard/swingman set for the next few years in Arron Afflalo, who can shoot the three and is one of the better wing defenders in the league. He turns 27 just before next season and they have him locked up through 2016. But if you're an NBA GM…
NBA Summer League's second day features plethora of solid performances
Jul 15, 2012, 12:26 AM EDT
LAS VEGAS — The second day of NBA Summer League featured pretty the same things as the first — random cameos in the crowd by established NBA like Baron Davis, J.R. Smith and David Lee; a lot of less than stellar basketball interspersed with jaw-dropping highlights and 32 quarters of players most of the crowd…
It's just Summer League, but damn Harrison Barnes looked good
Jul 14, 2012, 8:01 AM EDT
LAS VEGAS — There was a time, a year or more before the last draft, when it was thought Harrison Barnes could be the top pick in this past draft. After a good but not great college season, and as teams fell in love with other guys, he fell all the way to Golden State…

Jarrett Jack traded to Warriors as part of Dorell Wright deal
Jul 11, 2012, 3:40 PM EDT

Hasheem Thabeet agrees to deal, will come off Thunder bench
Jul 6, 2012, 8:40 AM EDT
When you think Hasheem Thabeet, you think bust. Harsh, but let's be honest. He's the former No. 2 overall pick of the Grizzlies (taken in front of James Harden, Ricky Rubio and Stephen Curry) who has struggled the last two seasons to get on the court for some pretty unimpressive teams (Houston, Portland late in…
Don't be shocked if Thabeet ends up on Thunder bench

The days of Hasheem Thabeet — he former No. 2 pick of the Grizzlies, taken in front of James Harden, Ricky Rubio, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan and others — getting a big NBA payday are gone. But he likely is still on an NBA roster next season. Maybe a very good one. From Darnell Mayberry…

World Bulletin/News Desk
Turkey has begun handing out food and other humanitarian aid to Syrians right on their common border as the worsening conflict in Syria makes aid distribution there increasingly difficult, Turkey's disaster and emergency body said on Saturday.
The move coincides with a sharp increase in the number of Syrians fleeing the fighting in the 17-month-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, taking the total in Turkey to nearly 70,000 and challenging its ability to cope.
The humanitarian situation in Syria has deteriorated as fighting escalates, cutting off civilians from food supplies, health care and other assistance, aid agencies say.
"The distribution of humanitarian aid by our country right on the border with Syria has begun," Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD) said in a statement.
Turkey has told the United Nations of the new practice and has opened a centre in its southeastern town of Gaziantep to receive international aid, AFAD said, adding that it needed dried, tinned and baby food, bedding and personal hygiene items.
The Turkish Red Crescent has also set up sites at four places on the border with Syria to receive local donations.
More than 170,000 Syrians have been registered in neighbouring countries - Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey - according to the U.N. refugee agency.
Some 1.2 million people are uprooted within Syria, many staying in schools or other public buildings, according to the U.N. regional humanitarian relief coordinator.
There has been a diarrhoea outbreak among residents of Rural Damascus province because the water supply has been contaminated by sewage, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said.
The number of Syrians in Turkey has risen sharply from 44,000 at the end of July, and Ankara is concerned there may be a flood of refugees from the major northern city of Aleppo as the conflict there intensifies.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Friday welcomed the United Nations' appointment of Lakhdar Brahimi as the new international mediator on Syria but said he would need consensus in the U.N. Security Council if his mission was to succeed.
Turkey is setting up four new refugee camps to cope with the influx: two in Gaziantep, one in Kahramanmaras and one in Osmaniye. It already has eight tent cities - five in Hatay, two in Sanliurfa and one in Gaziantep - and a camp of prefabricated housing for 12,000 people in Kilis province.
Setting up the new camps would bring the cost of caring for the refugees to around 300 million Turkish lira ($167 million), AFAD said.
The 300-million Turkish lira vessel will serve for at least 30 years.
Presidential system is the right thing for Turkey, says Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu
Armenian experts talking to The Anadolu Agency believe the two historically hostile countries could start a new phase after 2015.
Alimoglu said the NGO would occasionally dispatch doctors from Turkey to Gaza for difficult cases that Gazan doctors could not treat or that required competencies not available in the enclave.
Prosecutors said the Tuvalu-registered 5,095 deadweight tonne ship Kanton was being held in the Ukrainian port of Kherson. They said the crew could go to jail for up to three years and the ship could be seized.
Yalcin Akdogan said the support for the solution process is beyond AK Party's electoral base.
Saudi King shares information with Turkish President about military operation and airstrikes against Houthis.
-Minister of Economy Nihat Zeybekci says Turks and Tatars have blood ties, and so need to further each others' interests.
Turkish dailies on Friday mainly focus on the latest developments on Tuesday's deadly plane crash in the French Alps plus the escalating crisis in Yemen
A campaign to train Syrian opposition forces to fight hardline ISIL militants, which was due to start this month, has been delayed by Washington, Turkey's foreign minister said on Friday.
The legislation has sparked fierce criticism from opposition parties who say the ruling AK Party is becoming more authoritarian. Members of Turkey's restive Kurdish minority say the law could be used to target them.
The rocket that was fired by Syrian government forces across the Turkish border on March 24 exploded in the Reyhanlı district of the southern province of Hatay.

Turkish Foreign Ministry says "the despicable slaughter of three Kurdish Peshmerga has caused a huge public indignation."

Suggestion for something like Red Fountain but smaller
I have three large Pennisiteum Rubrums and love them but they are annuals here and I'm hoping to find something shorter. I thought of Karley Rose, I like the soft pink inflorescence but the darker Rubum just works better. If I must, I'll go with another annual but shorter and in the color range of Rubum is what I'm hoping for. Any suggestions?
There are a few purple Pennisetums which are smaller than Rubrum:
Pennisetum setaceum 'Eaton Canyon'
Pennisetum purpureum 'Princess Molly'
Pennisetum purpureum 'Princess'
Pennisetum purpureum 'Princess Caroline'
The newest entry in the Royal Pennisetum Collection is Pennisetum purpureum 'First Knight.' It's about the same size as Rubrum, but it's rumored to be marginally hardy to zone 7. I'm going to give it a try next year. It probably won't reach its full size potential in zone 7.

Asiatic Lily Beetles
Hello everyone. Just wanted you all to know that I have done my homework thanks to a lot of very useful information here, and have bought Neem Oil, with excellent results. Just one spraying has knocked out 98% of the little critters. I found mine at e-bay, but I do know that some nurserys offer it for sale. A very little bit goes a very long way. Help yourself with the cost and share expenses with friends or family. Great, great product, and it is very safe to use. Thanks for listening. Linda
Glad to hear of your success
I am in Alliston Ontario. Found a few of them here this past week
They are the most dreadfull thing to happen to lillies and related plants.
Had ever so much trouble with them in my last home. I worked hard to control them but finally decided to dig up my lilies.
Such a shame as I love lillies. Trying them again but will try to find Neem Oil
I noticed today that on the underside of some leaves there is a little orange line. I think it has something to do with the bug cycle. Took off the leaves
Hi. Just to let you all know that the Neem Oil can work sometimes but not as effective as Bayer Rose and Garden Spray. This leaves a nice residue (invisible but deadly) on the plant. It kills them directly and any eggs and if they land on the plant, it will kill them. We find them in the oriental lilies, the asiatics and the fritillaria. THe daylilies seem to be fine. The active ingredient is Diazapan (I think) which is from the flea killing family. Same stuff that's in your dog's flea medication.
The spray is not banned from entering canada but apparently Bayer has advised there's no demand for it yet in Canada (obviously they haven't seen our lily gardens!) and so if you drive across the border to the US and get it at Lowe's you will be fine. I researched it for my mother who used to have a huge infestation of them. Strip the plant to the spine and overwinter in the stem. make sure you cut down the stalks at the end of the summer so you don't promote a Red Lily Beetle hotel!
THe spray comes in a blue bottle. We got ours at the end of the summer and each bottle was $1.00. They have the handheld spray and the ones that attach to the hose. Great thing is that it's for Roses and Gardens so it won't damage any of the other garden plants but make sure to read the bottle carefully. I think it may kill some helpful insects so be wary of where you spray.
Diazepam is a sedative that is more commonly known as Valium. The active ingredient in Bayer Rose and Garden Spray is Carbaryl.
Bringing it across the border into Canada is likely illegal.
There are several problems with recommending this spray. Firstly it is banned in many places. The entire province of Quebec has banned its use cosmetically, as have more than 60 municipalities across the country. Why it's banned - it's highly toxic to honeybees and other beneficial insects, moderately toxic to many species of fish and wild birds, and moderately to very toxic to humans when it is inhaled or ingested. Contact with the skin can cause burns, and it is readily absorbed through the skin. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor, which means it is a neurotoxin. Prolonged exposure has been linked to birth defects in some animals (including humans), and it is a suspected carcinogen.
Carbaryl has a half life of 3-10 days. That means you have to spray again after that because the chemical has broken down.
The threat to honeybees is probably the most severe one. Honeybees are declining in extremely rapid numbers, and they may be in danger of becoming wiped out in North America. Bees are the most important crop pollinators we have. If you eat an apple, have cereal containing grains, veggies with your dinner, you are eating foods pollinated by bees. Even the steak or chicken breast on your plate was fed by bee pollinated crops.
So before you dust your lilies, please think about what else you may be killing.
I'm a bit of a soapbox preacher about pesticides, but it's because most people really don't realize what's in the products they're using, and how dangerous some of them can be. The manufactures want your money and so have no interest in informing you about the dangers you may be placing your children and pets in. They don't care about the bees, or the water tables, or the fish and frogs living in our rivers and lakes. Most gardeners do though, so I try to inform whenever I can.
/puts soapbox away again
Don't ever put your soapbox away please! You are most informative and knowledgeable and I for one appreciate it very much, especially since the bees and such can't speak for themselves and since the big guns out there have no interest in informing us of the end result, and the things which happen from such products which we just don't see as we use them haphazardly in our gardens.
Not having used insecticides/pesticides in our gardens in the last few years has certainly paid off. Our gardens are now a refuge for Monarchs and we are being blessed with their babies. Looking forward to nurturing more grandcats this year!
So BP, don't think you are preaching - you are educating, and we certainly need people like you to remind us all of where it's really at.
I have posted on these in the past (the way-past). I agree with Bonniepunch - have a care about what pesticides you use - I use none. A homemade spray of Murphy's oil soap, some pyrethrin concoction (most of the "insecticides" for plants are this) and water, works quite well. Nothing works for lily beetles, including neem oil, except for squishing them and squashing their eggs if any elude you. And as I have said before, I don't have hours to spend picking and squishing, but I do "enjoy" my garden every morning, and that's when I get them. By now, there are very few - killed just 2 today and I have many many lilies.
Just be vigilant every time you take a turn around the garden and you can keep them at a minimum.
Now, as I have said before - if anyone has a non-toxic cure for grasshoppers, I'd love to hear about it - they are back AGAIN this year!
I dug my lilies up and got rid of them. I just couldn't stand to look at the skeletal stalks with a great big bloom at the top but I won't use pesticides.
There are so many colourful, pest-resistant choices for the garden that there just isn't any point in destroying useful wildlife just to keep one species looking pretty.
Have to agree with Bonnie here. There is no need for pesticides, when you can just pick 'em off and throw 'em in a bucket of soapy water. If you don't have time for that, just keep hosing off your lilies, and you knock a lot of the eggs and larvae down, which are the problem. I know the ugly buggers are very destructive to a lily, but if you take five minutes, and knock them off, you've gone a long way to dealing with the problem. And that satisfying crunch underneath your sandal......
I remeber reading on this forum about an inexpensive substitute for Neem. The person said it worked. If I remember correctly, the recipe is 20 ml. baby oil to 1 L. water. Add a few drops of dish soap. The effects last up to a month. I'm going to give it a try. I never had the beetles until I renewed a magazine subscription and got a free bulb with, you guessed it, the lily beetles. Marg
Hi there,
I am new to gardening and I live in MA (do not hold that agaisnt me...lol) and I know this is a forum for folks in Canada but hope you can help me. Can someone let me know the best non toxic chemical to help keep the Asiatic Lily Beetle away? I found 2 this AM and I almost feel over with the shock b/c I heard how bad they are...
I have dogs and cats so I have to go the natural non chemical route. How does this sound: http://www.ghorganics.com/SupremeNeemOil.html
Thank you in advance
I always recommend Neem oil. It has been tested and found to be effective against the Asian Lily Beetle. I have found it works well myself, but I know several others have had different experiences - probably because in Canada it is not yet registered in for use anywhere but the forestry trade. The approval is in the works, but these things take time and until then there are no standards. Different Neem oil brands may contain different strengths and so some people will find it less effective that others. I have no ides what its status is in the US so it may be the same or it may be better regulated.
Neem oil will need to be applied every week of so. Be warned that it stinks to high heaven!
You should also do a regular inspection. Daily is best, but at least two or three times weekly, look for any signs of munched leaves. Look on the undersides of the leaves for little lines of red/orange eggs and wipe them off with a damp tissue. Look for wierd little piles of black crud on the undersides of leaves - they are likely the larvae (they disguise themselves by piling their poop on their backs) and they should be wiped off too. The adults are easy to spot and can be squished or knocked into a can of soapy water.
In the fall and again in the spring, carefully sift through (or remove and replace) the top couple of inches of soil around your lilies - you're looking for the overwintering adults. They're not that hard to spot against the black soil.
If you can't keep on top of them this way you may need to consider weather growing lilies is worth it to you. Heavy duty pesticides aren't proving that effective at long term control either and aren't worth the risk (in my opinion). These beetles are a major problem for a lot of people. I only have a little over a dozen lilies and I am able to keep the damage to a minimum - a daily check takes me only a minute and I only need to remove eggs or larvae once or twice a month.
I find all this talk about the Asian Lily Beetle a bit puzzling.
When I bought my house three years ago, there was nothing at all in the back yard, except grass and a lot of dandelions.
Or so I thought.
Part way into my project of transforming it into a real garden, I found out that some previous owner planted asian lilies way in the back of the property.
In spring, these lilies are by far the most vigorous growing things in the yard, eventually producing gorgeous orange flowers, on high bamboo-like stalks.
Never saw any sign of any bugs, or the damage they might be causing.
Guess I'm just lucky ?
You're lucky. I had these lilies for years before those little red devils showed up and destroyed them.
Check out this article regarding the link between pesticides and brain cancer.
Just because something isn't listed on the MSDS sheet YET doesn't mean that someone won't eventually find something horribly wrong with the stuff you're exposing yourself to. Kinda what happened with DDT and Thalidomide.
Probably a good thing if Canada is taking its time in allowing new products to be marketed here. No need to rush the process on my account :)
Thank you all for your responses. I took the entire day yesterday and read about Neem and found a very good and reliable source in VT (the green state). I ended up purchasing pure Neem oil and will mix it with soap. It is legal in MA and I can't believe how much talk there is about the positive effects of Neem!
Bonniepunch I patrol my lilies 3x a day; yes I am bit obsessive! Thank you for the tips and I will make sure to follow them.
This is where I purchased from: http://www.dirtworks.net/Neem-Oil.html?gclid=CLnyg7fjzIwCFRGsGgodMUnntQ
Hi Liliesinma:
As Bonnie said, hand-picking and Neem seem to keep them under control in my garden too. The first ones come out in April with the first warm days here, and that's when you have to nip them in the bud. Haven't seen any for a couple of weeks now, so I'm laying off the Neem for now(and yes, it sure does smell bad!).
I have a LOT of lilies, so I spend quite a bit of time bending and crouching and staring at them, checking for those little red pests. My neighbours must really wonder what I am doing!
Neem oil has worked for me as well, I just had to spray once and did a little handpicking. If you keep the oil in the fridge, it will be good for one year, you only need a little for spraying. I have not noticed any foul smell but that sense has been dulled by my alergies. I think I will reaply just in case. The lilies are especially vigorous this year
I am fighting the fight of the Red Lily Bug.
I find you have to keep watch everyday and as often as you can
The bug seems to get after some lilies and not other
I noticed this year as someone mentioned in this forum that it is not just the red bug itself that you need to squish , and as well the black poop like stuff , but that little orange red thread sort of, that is underside of the leaf.
I don't know just what that stage is but it needs to be removed as well
Such a shame for sure. Lilies are so gorgeous and they where a plant, previously that needed little care
Here's a few photos of my inherited Asiatic Lilies.
They are monstrous -- the biggest ones are nearly five feet tall !
I planted that Colorado Spruce in the hope of some day hiding that ugly wall, but by the looks of it, those lilies will beat the tree....
This is the first time I've been on this Forum and was very interested in this thread. Under no circumstances do I use any chemicals in my garden. The red beetle is a pest because it was 'imported' into Canada and has no natural place in our ecosystem i.e. nothing here preys on it. Initially, I would be very vigilant, and would pass my hand up the stem of the lily to remove the black stuff which contains the young larvae, as well and pick and squish. But I met someone at a flower show who gave me this advice: make a 10% solution of household ammonia and spray it on the tips of the bulbs as they emerge and the surrounding earth. This will not hurt your lilies, but it does limit the number of beetles you get. Apparently, it kills the eggs which lay dormant in the soil over winter.I have tried this and it helps. I did not get around to doing it this year, and I am still squishing beetles. Other years, I have a few but this year, it's like a full infestation as before. I love my lilies and won't give them up. Give it a try!!
That sounds like a possibility for the fall and spring. I will try your idea of the solution of household ammonia
I have been keeping good watch on the lily bug this year Doing okay so far but I am going to be away for two weeks out to B.C.
I am sure the bug in some stage overwinters in the ground
Good luck with your lilys "northern"
I know that some time has passed since this forum was active but I want to ask if anyone knows the concentration of Neem Oil that is required to be effective. Home Hardware has a foliage spray-would it be as helpful as 100% neem oil?
Spray for indoor and outdoor plants, flowers and vegetables:
Mix 1 ounce neem oil with 1 gallon water and few drops of mild dish detergent (to emulsify oil). Spray foliage including undersides of leaves. Repeat every 2 weeks. This is an organic and bio-degradable insecticide and fungicide.
For my Lilies I use Horticultural oil $10.00 a litre concentrate, that U can get at Cdn Tire. With this product you drench the ground where your lilies are, and it kills the beetle in the ground before they come up. Once I do this I have very little infestation.
I got my first pink lilies 2 weeks ago in Lowes, i was so happy because i never had those before, i only have tens of tens regular orange lilies.
As i was checking them yesterday i noticed that something was eating the lilies!!! i did not find anything though, but this morning i saw them!! those nasty red beetles!! disgusting!!!
I hate insects so much that i can not even describe it, but the worst thing is that I can not make myself to squish them, so i wont be able to keep control of it.
I think the bugs must have come with the bulbs, so i am afraid now that all my orange lilies are gonna be attack soon. :(
This weekend i am gonna get nees oil and try this but if this is not gonna work i will have to dig upp the lilies and get rid of them i can not let my garden die casuse of some stupid bugs!!
