Europe: Treating Homeschoolers Like Terrorists
A German SWAT team stormed a house in Darmstadt on the morning of August 29. Had the German police discovered a group of dangerous jihadists? No, they were storming the house because the family living in the house were homeschooling their four children. The children, between 7 and 14 years old, were forcibly removed from their parents, Dirk and Petra Wunderlich, and taken into state custody at an unknown location.
Homeschooling has been illegal in Germany since Adolf Hitler banned it in 1938 -- one of the few Nazi laws still on the books. Hitler introduced the ban to force all children to attend state-approved schools where they were to be indoctrinated with the Nazi ideology.
The Wunderlich children were seized on the order of a court, because their parents, who are Christians, want to raise them according to their own values. The court transferred formal legal custody of the Wunderlich children to the state, despite there being no allegations of abuse or neglect against the parents.
The court order allowed the police the use of force against both parents and children; it stated that the children had "adopted the parent's opinions" regarding homeschooling, and that "no cooperation could be expected" from either the parents or the children.
Last year, the authorities had already taken the children's passports to prevent the family from moving to neighboring countries where homeschooling is legal. The German authorities claim that by homeschooling their children, Dirk and Petra Wunderlich are violating their children's "right to grow up to be capable of living in society, which is only possible if they are exposed to different points of view."
The raid on the Wunderlich home was particularly brutal. As Dirk Wunderlich told the American Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), "I looked through a window and saw many people, police, and special agents, all armed. They told me they wanted to come in to speak with me. I tried to ask questions, but within seconds, three police officers brought a battering ram and were about to break the door in, so I opened it. The police shoved me into a chair ... At my slightest movement the agents would grab me, as if I were a terrorist."
Wunderlich said that his 14-year-old daughter, Machsejah, had to be forcibly taken out of the home:
The Wunderlich incident is the latest in a series of incidents over homeschooling between parents and the German state. These began after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991, when thousands of ethnic Germans emigrated from the former Soviet Union to Germany. Many were Baptists who had been persecuted for their religious beliefs. In Germany, they began homeschooling their children but met with fierce government resistance. Some parents were fined. In 2007, one teenager, who approved of her parents homeschooling, was detained for two months in a psychiatric ward, where she was treated for "school phobia."
In 2008, Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, two German evangelicals, requested political asylum in the US because they faced persecution in Germany for homeschooling their six children. In 2010, Memphis, Tennessee, immigration judge Lawrence Burman granted the family asylum. "[The German law is] utterly repellent to everything we believe as Americans," Burman ruled. "[H]omeschoolers are a particular social group that the German government is trying to suppress. This family has a well-founded fear of persecution." The United States Department of Justice, however, soon appealed the hearing. Last May, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the asylum request. The case has now been taken to the US Supreme Court.
So far, there have been no cases involving German Jewish families that are homeschooling their children. In the wake of the Holocaust, Germany's Jewish population dropped to around 10,000-15,000 in the 1950s. As with the Baptists, the collapse of the Soviet Union over two decades ago has led to a rise in the German Jewish population, which now stands at almost a quarter million.
In neighboring Belgium, where, unlike Germany, homeschooling is legal, the authorities are restricting the freedom of Jewish private schools and homeschoolers. One of the largest Jewish schools in the country, the Jesode Hatora school in Antwerp, is at risk of losing its state recognition and subsidies because it is considered "too conservative." Homeschoolers, additionally, are coming under ever closer scrutiny of authorities who are trying to impose a multicultural secularism, which, as in Germany, leaves parents no say over the values they wish to transfer to their children.
Meanwhile, Belgian Muslims have opened their own Islamic school, subsidized by the authorities. The authorities evidently do not see Islamic education as "too conservative," but rather as an instrument to compensate for the educational disadvantage of immigrant children. In Germany, too, official schools bend over backwards to accommodate Muslims. In 2006, the then-German Interior Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble (currently Germany's Finance Minister), hosted a conference in favor of introducing classes on Islam at public schools in Germany.
There does not seem to be a huge demand among German Muslims for homeschooling: Muslims are treated with much more respect in schools than conservative Christians and Jews. Homeschooling by jihadists should not, of course, be allowed for the simple reason that parents who raise their children to become terrorists, endanger society. The Baptist and Evangelical homeschoolers, currently being persecuted in Germany, however, are not teaching their children to harm others.

OFPP administrator's right-hand man wields the influence of experience
Doan campaigns against SEWP
GSA shops for wireless services under strategic sourcing initiative
Robert Burton has an expansive view of Washington, D.C.'s government power hub from his ninth-story office window. He can see the front driveway of the White House, turn southwest to see the Pentagon on the other side of the Potomac River or look eastward along Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol building.
In his professional role as associate administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, he has a similar scope.
"We have perspectives on a number of these policy issues that perhaps the agencies do not," Burton said. "We're looking at what's best for the government as a whole," while establishing regulations on best practices for the agencies.
Burton first got a glimpse of government work during the summers while he attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. He was a member of the Department of the Navy's Junior Fellowship program, which put college students to work in government offices during their vacations.
"The experience and scope of responsibility you get by working with the federal government aren't matched," Burton said. "That is more of an attraction than the salaries."
Burton entered full-time government work as an acquisition attorney in the Defense Department's Defense Logistics Agency. He stayed for more than 20 years, until 2001, when then-OFPP administrator Angela Styles asked him to come across the river to be her deputy.
After Styles left the post in 2003, Burton spent much of his time in an acting administrator role, interrupted only by David Safavian's nine-month tenure before his arrest and conviction in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Paul Denett became the new administrator in August.
Burton said the most difficult aspect of the OFPP administrator's job is trying to consider everyone's position when setting policies.
"There is no question. The most challenging aspect of the OFPP administrator's job is really to fairly balance competing interests on every one of our initiatives," Burton said.
Being in the middle is one of OFPP's major roles — and the thorniest for its leaders. "Trying to come up with that balance, I think, is very difficult to do, and that is what makes the job so challenging and interesting," Burton said.
David Javdan, managing director at Alvarez and Marsal, a firm that advises businesses on solving internal problems, said Burton works in a highly contentious area. Experts often take opposite stances on the issues, but Burton pushes past opinion to get to the facts of the issue, he said.
Styles said Burton started straightening things up in OFPP as soon as he arrived. Some employees were uninterested in working, so Burton soon had them hunting for jobs that fit their interests, she said.
"People who work for Rob have to work," she said.
Position: Associate administrator of the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
Work history: Worked for the Defense Logistics Agency as an acquisition attorney after law school. He moved to OFPP in 2003 as deputy to then-administrator Angela Styles. He is now deputy to Paul Denett, the new OFPP administrator.
Education: Earned a degree in government from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., in 1976. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1979.
Family: Married and has four children.
Little known fact: In 1971, Burton shook hands with President Nixon while participating in the American Legion's Boys Nation program. Perhaps as a result of that encounter, Burton became a presidential history buff. Traveling through Fairfield, Ohio, he once made an unexpected stop at the home of President Rutherford Hayes. He and his family left three hours later, and the children begged him never to make such a stop again.

Best storage fruit this year
This has been my best year yet for storage fruit.
I have a lot of fruit that I froze, but that's not what I'm talking about in this post.
I am interested in which apples/other fruits have stored best for you this year without refrigeration, freezing, drying, pickling, fermenting, or with any other special method. I am curious about which fruit have stored best for you just by leaving them as is. Cold storage, out building, bags, north side of the house, etc. but not the others.
I think apples are the biggest volume of storage fruit I have. I had many varieties that I stored. Some, like Karmijn, were too few and too tasty yet to store. In a few years I'll store it. Some were apples that I grafted long ago, and failed to label well, and so I don't know what they were. Spitzenburg was a good keeper for me this year. I kept a lot and they lasted til January I think. Suntan was pretty good. They lasted about the same time. Orleans was a bit longer. The three that have lasted the longest for me were Gold Rush, Belle de Boskoop, and Winesap. I just finished up Gold Rush, and they were great when I ate the last one last week. Belle de Boskoop has been great and I still have a few left. I have needed to eat some of those as they were starting to go. The overall champ for me has been Winesap, which has the largest number of apples still (April 10th), still taste good, and I have hardly needed to eat any because they were in bad shape.
I still have a few flowering quince fruit, but most have started to rot. I chop them up and drink the water as a kind of lemonade. I just grafted Johantorp pear, which is supposed to be a good keeper, but I haven't harvested any yet, obviously. I grow Carriere hawthorns, which you can keep on the tree until February, depending on the year.
I am very curious to hear what your best keepers were.
John S
Note: I use a 7 cu ft. chest freezer that is digitally temperature controlled to 33 degrees.
I agree with you on the Belle de Boskoop.
I ate my last ones at the start of March and they had no indications of bruising or rot. Awesome to eat and cook with, especially after January when the acidity subsides.
My Jonamacs were a surprise, I picked them and immediately stored them and they lasted 2 months, and would have lasted a bit longer if I hadnt ate them all.
Ashmead's Kernel lasted until March, and would have kept going until at least April.
Reine des Reinettes also stored very well past February.
Orleans Reinette, not so much, started to get dry/mealy in February, I'd recommend eating that one at the latest, January.
Suncrisp lasted until March, but had a funny taste this year, possibly from the fruit being small. Large fruit the year before was very tasty in storage.
This is my fruit board from this year. ..

Having started out as the nation's first sugar plantation, then an urban park, and finally renamed in 1886 as Audubon Park in tribute to John James Audubon who painted many of his famed "Birds of America" in Louisiana, the 340-acre Audubon Park and Audubon Zoo is a place one can truly and peacefully enjoy New Orleans's old-world charm: fountains, statues, gazebos, lagoons, giant oak trees, and the occasional horse-back riders and carriages.

This charming musical combines an old Christmas folk story with new music that reminds us of the true meaning of giving. The musical tells the story of a church that had the most amazing chime of bells in its great ivory tower. According to a legend, on Christmas Eve, all the townspeople would bring gifts for the Christ Child. When a very special gift had been given, the chimes would ring sending forth the sweetest sound anyone had ever heard. Unfortunately, the bells had been silent for many years. Things began to change, however, when a young girl named Sara and her little brother journey to the church hoping to hear the chimes ring. Appropriate for children's choirs plus the addition of youth and/or adult if desired. Numerous non-singing roles also allow for maximum participation. Performance time: approximately 30 minutes.

A Christmas Finale is a happy upbeat closing selection for a holiday concert. The introduction juxtaposes Deck the Halls with Good King Wenceslas and leads up to a canonic treatment of Jingle bells. An abrupt swing style at the same tempo introduces Up On The House Top. (The arranger envisioned Santa trying to sneak down the chimney, much like the Pink Panther sneaks around attics installing insulation.) A stately rendition of O Christmas Tree contrasts woodwind and brass choirs, and an unusual march treatment of We Wish You a Merry Christmas closes the medley.

A collection of four joyful songs exploring the 'lighter' side of the Christmas. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was made famous by the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis, where it was sung by Judy Garland and this is complemented with O Christmas Tree, one of the most popular German traditional carols, and the original Another Christmas composed by series editor Alex L'Estrange and fellow composer Peter Gritton. A Christmas collection would not be complete without Jingle Bells, given a boisterous treatment here, although actually the song isn't about Christmas at all - it's about the cutter drag races in Boston, where young men would race sleighs to impress the girls! Choral Basics is a recently created series that offers straightforward and rewarding repertoire for the beginner choir. Perfect for singers of all ages, the series offers simple 3-part choral arrangements for soprano, alto and a combined male voice part. Consultant editor Alex L'Estrange has brought together an array of repertoire including world music, spirituals, pop classics, show hits and original pieces. Carefully considered for the level, the arrangements pay particular attention to breathing, vocal ranges and technique whilst straightforward piano accompaniments support the vocal lines. The series offers great value for money, as each volume comprises a set of contrasting songs for easy programming.

"Winter" from Vivaldi's "The Seasons" is the source of the beautiful Largo. This setting is a piece for all seasons as well as for multiple combinations of handbells, handchimes, and keyboard. A chordal 2-3 octave version may be rung alone, with provided keyboard accompaniment, or in combination with the 2-6 octave version. The 2-6 octave version may be rung alone or with the 2-3 octave version. When rung alone, the 2-6 octave edition is especially beautiful when played entirely on handchimes, without the octave doubling of the treble bells. This adaptable setting is perfect for beginning as well as "seasoned" ringers! Suitable for concert or worship.

I just found out from the folks on the Paint forum that my mystery wallboard is a product called beaverboard. There are 6 or 7 layers of wallpaper & then several coats of paint over it. There are also numerous holes from cats trying to get to mice in the walls. (I'm in the old homeplace & no work has been done there in decades) Anyone have experience with this product? Thanks in advance,
It's a wood fiberboard that was usually used as a non-structural sheathing often with an outer surface weather resistent treatment like asphalt, etc. Rarely it was used on the inside in place of plaster or drywall as well since it isn't very strong and can warp. It was commonly called beaverboard, blackboard, grayboard, or buffaloboard and was made by Celotex, Homasote, International Bildrite, Georgia Pacific, Knight Celotex, and Temple Inland.
I can't tell you anything more without knowing the design of the wall and the climate.
Thanks for the response. I'm a total novice & just learned the name of this material.This is used inside and is covered by the wallpaper & paint. It is nailed directly to the studs-I can see the nail outlines through the falling off wallpaper. Right now I have more pressing problems such as the house sliding down a hill so the interior will have to wait. I was just pleased to know what the stuff was called!

One course agriculture students take is titled "Agriculture In Society", a class mentioned before in this column. This class exposes students to the role agriculture has played in the development of civilization; the way agriculture is viewed in today's society; the challenges agriculture faces now and as it moves forward; and misconceptions the 98% not involved in the production of food, fiber, and fuel have about the industry. A large area of conflict and misconception regards animal agriculture.

What type of flower is this? Will pruning encourage new growth?
Yellow with a red center. The flowers seem to last a few days and then they start to look like they had a bad hair day.
Do they need to be pruned to encourage more growth?
Cute little flowers. I want to know what type. My research into China Aster's and general Aster's show no Yellow Ones with red centers.
I planted a mixed variety that I bought in the store and have to identify each one by one.
Might well be Calendula, a flowering annual plant. If you don't get a for-sure ID here fairly quickly, the folks on the Name That Plant forum are whizzes at IDing plants.
(You also have a large weed on the left side, lamb's quarters, AKA Chenopodium album or other Chenopodium species. You want to remove that since it appears to be out-competing the flowering plant.)
Thanks fir the reply, nhbabs
These plants cam from a Wild Flower Seed Pack I bought at the store. Listed on the pkg is "Calendula Officinalis" so it is probably that.
The other plant, you say is a weed? Research says it is highly edible.
Should the Calendla Offinalis spent flower heads be pruned back to encourage more growth?
Yes, removing spent flowers, called dead-heading, does help plants produce more blooms.
I guess you're right about the lambs quarters ID, NHBabs, although LQ foliage is sort of dusty looking, and this seems a bit bright - maybe that's just the contrast with the calendula foliage, which is a little yellowish.
I agree with calendula identification. There are different varieties and that looks like a nice color combination. The flower is edible but I never eat mine. You might deadhead to encourage more blooms but calendulas readily self sow for me here in NH. This spring I transplanted some to other parts of the vegetable garden and pulled out some. So if you want some next year, let it go to seed at the end of the season.

WASHINGTON – Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warmly welcomed the long
anticipated appointment of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry as the next US
secretary of state, referring to the veteran politician as his
friend."Kerry has considerable experience and is a known supporter of
the security of the State of Israel. John Kerry and I have been friends for many
years," Netanyahu said on Saturday. "I very much appreciated the fact that six
months ago, after my father passed away, he came to visit me during the week of
mourning. I look forward to working together with him."US President
Barack Obama officially appointed Kerry, a decorated war veteran and the son of
a Foreign Service officer, on Friday. He is the chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and a long-time ally of Obama. He ran unsuccessfully for
president against George W. Bush in 2004."John has earned the respect
and confidence of leaders around the world. He is not going to need a lot of
on-the-job training," Obama said in announcing his pick at the White House. "I
think it's fair to say that few individuals know as many presidents and prime
ministers, or grasp our foreign policies as firmly as John
Kerry."Current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has been
recovering from a stomach virus and concussion, was not present at the
announcement. But she sent out a statement welcoming his announcement, which
referenced their shared experience as unsuccessful presidential
candidates."As I have learned, being able to talk candidly as someone
who has won elections and also lost them is an enormous asset when engaging with
emerging or fragile democracies," she said.Deputy Foreign Minister Danny
Ayalon and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni sent letters to Kerry on Saturday
to congratulate him on his appointment as US secretary of state."I know
how important Israel's security and how important the relations between the US
and Israel are to you," The Tzipi Livni Party leader wrote, adding she had many
conversations with Kerry about Israel's future and the advancing of peace talks
between Israel and the Palestinians."There is no doubt the role you have taken upon yourself is most significant in
determining the direction in which the entire region will head during a very
challenging time. Your success is our success and our future," she
added.Kerry has often traveled to the Middle East during his role as
Foreign Relations Committee chairman, including meetings with Syrian President
Bashar Assad before the civil war there began and with Afghan and Pakistani
leaders to smooth US relations with those countries.Several Senate
colleagues welcomed the appointment, which comes after Obama confidante and US
Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice withdrew her name from contention after being
criticized for her handling of the controversy over a shooting at the US Embassy
in Benghazi, Libya."John has the experience, values and capabilities to
be a truly great secretary of state," said Senator Joe Lieberman
(I-Connecticut)."I am sure his nomination will hearten friends and
allies of America throughout the world, because they know, respect and trust
John Kerry."Lieberman is retiring at the end of this term and therefore
won't get to vote on Kerry's confirmation, but the Massachusetts Democrat is
expected to easily get the backing of the Senate.Kerry's selection was
also welcomed by several Jewish groups.Americans for Peace Now spokesman
Ori Nir said of Kerry: "He has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of
the complex foreign policy challenges facing the United States in the Middle
East and around the world, and a profound appreciation of and respect for the
vital role that US diplomacy can and must play in addressing these
challenges."Another Jewish group, The National Jewish Democratic
Council, sent out a strong statement of support."We are ecstatic to see
that President Obama has selected Senator Kerry to be the next secretary of
state," the group said."His record on the foreign policy issues of
special interest to the Jewish community is exceptionally strong," the statement
continued. "He has been a leader when it comes to Israel and has made it
abundantly clear that he – like the Obama administration – stands squarely
behind the Jewish state."Morrie Amitay, a former executive director of
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, agreed that Kerry had a good
record on Israel-related issues but was more reserved in his praise."I
would not list him among the more enthusiastic supporters, but certainly it's a
fine record," he said, noting that on Israeli-related letters, resolutions and
other initiatives he was almost never a lead sponsor and that Iran sanctions
legislation was most strongly championed in the Senate banking committee rather
than Kerry's.He added that regardless of the person chosen to fill
Clinton's shoes, "The White House will continue to call most of the
shots."Tovah Lazaroff and Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this

A new dimension to television fare
3-D SETS: Media firms rush to be at forefront of 'Avatar' technology
Published: Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 9:40 p.m.
The New York Times
Ralph Kramden can finally buy a television.
It was more than half a century ago, in a 1955 episode of "The Honeymooners," that Kramden, the parsimonious bus driver played by Jackie Gleason, told his wife, Alice, that he had not yet bought a new television because "I'm waiting for 3-D."
The wait will soon be over. A full-fledged 3-D television turf war is brewing in the United States, as manufacturers unveil sets capable of 3-D and cable programmers rush to create new channels for them.
Many people are skeptical that consumers will suddenly pull their LCD and plasma televisions off the wall. Beginning at around $2,000, the 3-D sets will, at first, cost more than even the current crop of high-end flat-screens, and buyers will need special glasses -- geeky goggles, really -- to watch in 3-D.
But programmers and technology companies are betting that consumers are almost ready to fall in love with television in the third dimension. In part, it could be the "Avatar" effect: With 3-D films gaining traction at the box office -- James Cameron's "Avatar" surpassed the staggering $1 billion mark last weekend -- companies are now determined to bring an equivalent experience to the living room.
Anticipating this coming wave, ESPN said Tuesday that it would show World Cup soccer matches and NBA games in 3-D on a new network starting in June, and Discovery, Imax and Sony said they would jointly create a 3-D entertainment channel next year. The satellite service DirecTV is expected to announce its own 3-D channels at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where every major television manufacturer is planning to announce 3-D televisions and compatible Blu-ray players on Wednesday.
"The stars are aligning to make 2010 the launch year of 3-D," said John Taylor, a vice president for LG Electronics USA. "It's still just in its infancy, but when there is a sufficient amount of content available -- and lots of people are working on this -- there will be a true tipping point for consumers."
At that point, the question becomes whether consumers -- many of whom have only recently upgraded to costly new high-definition sets -- will want to watch in three dimensions enough to pay for the privilege. "I think 90 percent of the males in this country would be dying to watch the Super Bowl and be immersed in it," said Riddhi Patel, an analyst at the research firm iSuppli.
But will the experience translate to other entertainment? Patel said, "You don't necessarily want the ladies of 'The View' sitting around you when you watch them."
This week, the media companies are trying to place themselves at the forefront of an emerging technology, much as they did for HDTV a decade ago.
It took high-definition television about a decade to catch on -- to the point where it has become part of the entertainment mainstream, with a sufficient stock of HD programming and the sets now cheap enough to entice middle-class buyers. Analysts expect 3-D television to go through the same curve, initially attracting first adopters for whom price is little or no object and gradually moving out to other affluent and then middle-class homes as sets become cheaper and programmers create enough 3-D fare.
Or, of course, the technology could be a total flop.
For decades 3-D was a gimmick for B-movies and occasionally on television (in bad quality with flimsy paper glasses), but newer technology built into the sets has largely erased those memories. Peter M. Fannon, a vice president in Panasonic's technology division, called the new sets "totally different than what one had seen over the last 20 to 30 years."
In 3-D, television makers see an opportunity to persuade households that have already bought HDTVs to return to the electronics store. Though television sales jumped 17 percent in 2009, the industry needs new innovations to keep the cash register ringing.
Leading the charge to television, the pioneering sports network ESPN said it would show at least 85 live events on a 3-D channel starting in June.
The joint venture among Discovery Communications, Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Imax Corp. will be a full-time channel featuring natural history, movies, sports, music and other programming.
New 3-D televisions, like the 3-D screens in theaters, work by dividing picture images into two sets: one for each eye. A viewer must wear special glasses, so each eye captures a different image, creating the illusion of depth. Filming entails two connected cameras, one for the left-eye image and the other for the right.
Manufacturers have developed two technologies for 3-D glasses in the home. In so-called polarized glasses, which can cost under a dollar, each lens blocks a set of images transmitted in certain types of light. "Active" glasses, which are better suited for LCD screens in particular, have battery-powered shutters that open and close rapidly, so each eye sees different views of each frame. These glasses can cost up to $100, but television makers are expected to package at least two pairs with each monitor.
On the horizon is technology that allows people to watch 3-D without glasses, but that has severe limitations, like forcing viewers to sit at a certain distance.
Many hurdles remain, including a lack of production equipment and dueling 3-D transmission standards. But backers like David Zaslav, the chief executive of Discovery Communications, say 3-D is bound to gain attention because consumers and producers are always striving for what looks "closest to real life."
