Cupid's Arrow Doesn't Exclude: LGBT Inclusion in the Jewish Community
February 2, 2012 by HRC staff
The following post comes from HRC Jewish Organization Equality Index Intern Sabrina Katz:
Visit the website of your local synagogue, JCC or campus JSA this time of year, and you will likely find an announcement for Valentine's Day events. These events are hosted for single Jews looking for love and for Jewish couples looking to celebrate theirs. What you probably won't find in these announcements is any notice that same-sex couples or LGBT individuals are welcome to attend these events.
Although many of these organizations may want to be welcoming (or think they already are), by omitting a statement welcoming LGBT individuals or not providing an LGBT-specific event, they are alienating the approximately seven percent of the Jewish community that identifies as LGBT. A great number of these organizations may not think this specification is necessary, believing that LGBT individuals already know they are welcome at these types of events.
Studies have shown that many organizations which regard themselves as inclusive are not regarded as such by the LGBT community unless they include explicitly inclusive language. Because LGBT Jews are unsure of where they are welcome, they are less likely to attend events. The less they attend events within the Jewish community, the more alienated they feel and the more likely they are to abandon this community and Judaism as a whole - a tragedy in light of the dwindling numbers of active Jewish community members.
The goal of HRC's Jewish Organization Equality Index is to show Jewish organizations how explicitly welcoming LGBT individuals into their organizations, both through policies and programming, has not only the ability to increase the participation of the LGBT Jewish population, but also to foster an American Jewish community truer to its value of kavod habriyot (the Jewish value that every person deserves to be regarded with dignity and respect.)
Valentine's Day has become a time for the celebration of preexisting relationships and the hope for new ones to flourish. Cupid's arrow does not exclude, and neither should organizations that do similar work.

Lawnmower starts then dies in about a minute or two
Musician391June 21, 2014
I have a Craftsman 190cc Briggs & Stratton 22" front drive self-propelled mower. When I start the mower it runs for about 1-2 minutes and then dies as I'm mowing the grass. My grass isn't very long or wet so I don't think it's grass getting caught inside of it. I changed the spark plug and air filter today and put new oil in it. The gas was put in about a week ago. I cleaned the carburetor and the bowl about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I can't really remember. Does anyone have an idea to what could be causing this problem?

An indexed memory coordinator is disclosed which includes a master unit and one or more slave units connected thereto. Each of the units, master and slave, includes a compartment for receiving a recording tape cassette along with an associated record/play head and a motor for driving the tape. The master unit alone contains all of the electronic circuitry for controlling the heads and motors for all the units. All the units are interconnected in parallel via plugs and jacks to the common circuitry in the master unit. Additionally, each unit includes a switch mechanism for conditioning that unit into either the record or playback mode, and when in such a mode, the unit utilizes the common circuitry in the master unit for driving its motor and tape heads.
1. An indexed memory coordinator for selective recording on a plurality of recording media comprising:
a plurality of recording units, each including means adapted to receive one of said audio recording media and each further including means responsive to recording signals applied thereto for storing information on said one recording medium, and means for reading information stored on said recording medium to generate information signals, and means for actuating said reading means;
a microphone for converting sound to audio signals;
means responsive to said audio signals applied thereto for generating said recording signals, said recording signal generating means being incorporated in a master unit which includes means for converting said information signals into audible signals, and each of said plurality of recording units being incorporated in a respective one of a plurality of slave units;
switching means operable to couple said microphone to said recording signal generating means and to selectively apply said recording signals to a selected one of said plurality of recording units, said switching means including common bus means for interconnecting said master unit and said plurality of slave units, and further including a plurality of switch units each coupled between said common bus means and a respective one of said plurality of slave units, wherein each of said switch units includes a switch selectively operable to a first state, a second state, and a third state, said switch in said first state applying said recording signals to the corresponding one of said storing means, said switch in said second state applying information signals from the corresponding reading means to said converting means, said switch being arranged to return to said third state when not operated to said first or second state so as to disconnect the associated recording unit from the common bus means when in said third state.
This invention relates to recording devices and, more particularly, to a multi-unit recording device wherein the individual units are readily indexed.
In business establishments, there exists a need for leaving messages for persons not immediately present in the office. For example, a particular individual may be in and out of the office during the day and while that individual is out of the office, there may be a number of telephone calls requiring the individual's attention when he returns to the office. It is not uncommon for a single telephone operator or secretary to take all the messages for a large number of different individuals. Typically, such message taking has been done by writing the message on, for example, a large blackboard, a piece of paper, or individual slips or paper. These prior methods present distinct disadvantages. For example, using a common blackboard or piece of paper, an individual has no privacy regarding regarding incoming messages. When using individual slips of paper, such slips are easily misplaced or lost. It is therefore apparent that a need exists for a more efficient way of taking messages.
There are also many instances where an individual would like to record a thought that comes to mind, which thought may be totally unrelated to the work at hand. These different thoughts that occur during the course of a day may be in different unrelated categories. The individual having the thoughts may then wish to record same on separate slips of paper which may then be placed, for example, in separate files or envelopes assigned to the different categories for future retrieval. Again, such slips of paper have a tendency to be misplaced or lost. It is therefore apparent that a need exists for more efficient ways of recording ideas in different categories.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide efficient indexable apparatus for recording categorized thoughts or messages.
It is another object of this invention to provide such apparatus for recording voice messages.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such apparatus which is expandable to any desired number of categories or individuals.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide such an expandable indexed apparatus which is relatively economical.
It is yet a further object of this invention to provide such an economical expandable indexed apparatus which comprises a master unit and a plurality of slave units, each of the slave units having a minimum amount of component parts therein, with the master unit containing the bulk of the component parts.
The foregoing and additional objects are attained in accordance with the principles of this invention by providing an indexed memory coordinator comprising: a plurality of recording units, each including means adapted to receive an audio recording medium and each further including means responsive to recording signals applied thereto for storing information on said recording medium; a microphone for converting sound to audio signals; means responsive to said audio signals applied thereto for generating said recording signals; and switching means operable to couple said microphone to said recording signal generating means and to selectively apply said recording signals to a selected one of said plurality of recording units.
In accordance with an aspect of this invention, the apparatus includes a master unit and a plurality of slave units, the master unit including all the circuitry necessary for driving the audio recording mediums in all of the units, both master and slave, and the slave units are all interconnected in parallel with the master unit via a common bus system.
In accordance with another aspect of this invention, the parallel interconnection of all the units is achieved via compatible plugs and jacks so that as many slave units as are desired may be stacked onto the master unit.
The foregoing will be more readily apparent upon reading the following description in conjunction with the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 depicts a perspective view from the left front corner of an illustrative master unit constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view from the right front corner of an illustrative slave unit constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention;
FIG. 3 depicts a perspective view from the right front corner of an indexed memory coordinator comprising a master unit in accordance with that depicted in FIG. 1 and a plurality of slave units such as those depicted in FIG. 2 interconnected together;
FIG. 4 functionally depicts the switching mechanism and the interconnection of the master and slave units;
FIG. 5 depicts an illustrative schematic circuit diagram for the master unit shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 depicts an illustrative schematic circuit diagram of a slave unit such as that depicted in FIG. 2.
Referring now to the drawing, and in particular to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, shown therein are perspective views of an indexed memory coordinator constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention. FIG. 1 shows the master unit of the coordinator. The master unit is enclosed within an outer case or housing 10. The master unit includes a tape compartment 12 having a cover member 14, illustratively secured to housing 10 by means of screws 16. The purpose of screws 16 is to discourage the removal of recording tape from tape compartment 12. Preferably, tape compartment 12 is suitably adapted to receive a standard tape cassette. It is understood that tape compartment cover member 14 may be closed in some other suitable manner than by means of screws 16, for example, by a spring loaded mechanism such as is normally encountered in a cassette recorder/player.
The master unit also includes a record button 18 which is depressed when it is desired to record on the tape within compartment 12 and a play button 20 which is depressed when it is desired to play what is stored on the tape within compartment 12. Button 18 is illustratively spring loaded so that recording only takes place when the button is held in a depressed condition, the button returning to is normal position when released. Play button 20 may be similarly arranged or alternatively may be released either at the end of the tape or when the clear button 22 or the rewind 24 are depressed. A lock 26 may be provided to prevent unauthorized persons from operating the play button, so that privacy of messages is assured.
The master unit also includes an earphone jack 28 which may be utilized for privacy listening, and a volume control knob 30 to control the playback volume. The master unit is also provided with an external speaker 32 (FIG. 3) for listening when privacy is not desired.
A microphone 34 on the master unit is utilized when recording on the tape within compartment 12, either of the master unit or any of the slave units. Indicator light 36 is adapted to be lit, and to stay lit, when record button 18 is depressed. Female jack assembly 38 is provided so that slave units may be interconnected to the master unit via a compatible male plug assembly 40 (FIG. 2). A name plate 42 is provided on housing 10, which is utilized for identifying, or indexing, the category of message being recorded on that particular unit. For example, name plate 42 may have thereon the name of the individual to whom the messages are addressed, or, alternatively, the category of thought which is to be recorded on that unit.
FIG. 2 shows a slave unit which externally is similar to the master unit shown in FIG. 1. The slave unit is enclosed in outer casing or housing 44. On one side of housing 44, as shown in FIG. 2, is a plug assembly 40 compatible with jack assembly 38. On the other side of housing 44, not shown in FIG. 2, is a jack assembly identical to jack assembly 38 (FIG. 1) so that multiple slave units may be interconnected and stacked onto the master unit, as shown in FIG. 3. Like the master unit, each slave unit includes a tape compartment 12, a record button 18, a play button 20, a rewind button 24, a lock 26, an indicator light 36, and a name plate 42. The slave units, however, do not include a microphone, an external speaker, an earphone jack, a clear button, or a volume control knob. As will be described in detail hereinafter, the slave units each include record/playback tape heads and a motor for driving the tape, but do not include any of the electronic circuitry for recording or playing, or a power supply for the motor. Only the master unit contains such circuitry. Although FIG. 1 shows a master unit which includes a tape compartment, it is understood that a master unit could be supplied which only includes the circuitry, and the only units which would have tape compartments would be the slave units. As will become apparent from the description which follows, a single master unit can have virtually an unlimited number of slave units interconnected thereto, the number of slave units only being limited by physical space constraints.
Referring now to FIG. 4, functionally depicted therein is the switching mechanism and an interconnection diagram of the master and slave units showing how the major components are connected. In FIG. 4, the master unit is shown without any recording capability, but it is understood that an actual master unit may incorporate the master unit and slave unit 1, enclosed within a single housing.
The master unit includes speaker 32, microphone 34, motor supply 46, and amplifier 48, as well as other circuit components not necessary for an understanding of this invention. Each of the slave units includes a motor 50 for driving the tape within a corresponding tape compartment 12 and a record/playback head 52 which functions in the well-known manner to selectively record on, or read from, its corresponding tape. As is apparent from FIG. 4, all the slave units are interconnected in parallel. The record and play switches 18 and 20 for each unit are shown as being a bank of toggle switches with center returns. When the record switch on a particular slave unit is operated, the motor 50 within that slave unit is actuated to drive the tape within the unit. At the same time, microphone 34 is connected to the input of amplifier 48 and the corresponding record/playback head 52 is connected to the output of amplifier 48. When the play switch in a particular slave unit is operated, motor 50 is again actuated. The corresponding record/playback head 52 is now connected to the input of amplifier 48 and speaker 32 is connected to the output of amplifier 48. Although only three slave units are shown in FIG. 4, it is readily apparent that any number of slave units may be interconnected in the manner shown in FIG. 4.
Referring now to FIG. 5, shown therein is an illustrative circuit diagram for a master unit which functionally contains the elements shown in the master unit and slave unit 1 of FIG. 4. Above the dashed line in FIG. 5 is circuitry which may be found in a typical tape cassette recording unit. In particular, the circuitry shown therein is from Model 2629 compact portable cassette recorder manufactured by Craig Corporation of Compton, California. No further description of this circuitry will be given since such does not form a part of the present invention. It is expressely understood that this invention is not limited to the particular recorder shown in FIG. 5. Below the dashed line in FIG. 5 are the jack assembly 38 and the record and play switches 18, 20, showing their connections to the various points of the common circuitry. Illustratively, jack assembly 38 includes 21 jacks and record and play switch assembly 18, 20 is a bank of eight single pole, double throw toggle switches which are off in the central position with a spring return to the center.
As shown in FIG. 5, the common circuitry utilized for all the units includes microphone 34, volume control 30, amplifier 48, earphone jack 28, speaker 32, and motor power supply 46. In addition, clear button 22 may be utilized to open the microphone circuit and is designed to be pushed in conjunction with the record switch of a slave unit whose tape it is desired to erase. It also is seen from FIG. 5 that the master unit includes its own motor 50, indicator light 36, and record/playback head 52.
FIG. 6 depicts the circuitry within a typical slave unit. A slave unit includes a jack assembly 38, a plug assembly 40, a record and play switch assembly 18, 20, a record/playback head 52, an indicator light 36, and a motor 50. Additionally, the only other circuitry is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) 54 utilized to turn on indicator light 36 (illustratively a light emitting diode), a resistor associated with the tapehead 52, and wires interconnecting the bank of switches and the plug and jack assemblies.
It is therefore apparent from viewing FIGS. 5 and 6 that various points in the common circuitry of the master unit are connected along a common bus system through all of the slave units and when it is desired to utilize a slave unit for either recording or playing, the corresponding switch assembly of that slave unit couples the slave unit's tapehead and motor to the common circuitry through the bus system. Any desired number of slave units may be added by merely stacking the units via the plug and jack assemblies.
Accordingly, there has been described an indexed memory coordinator constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention. Although this invention has been disclosed with reference to a preferred embodiment, numerous other variations, modifications and adaptations of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art and such as come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims are considered to be embraced by the present invention.

NS Bremerton according to the Northwest Navigator
USS Connecticut returns home to Washington
On April 12th, the Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut returned home after a four-month deployment to the Western Pacific according to the Northwest Navigator. Family members cheered as the submarine pulled into port and moored just beside its sister ship, the USS Seawolf. Commander Ian Johnson, USS Connecticut commanding officer noted, "It's great to be back-we all missed our families." The first sailor off the boat was Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Miguel Codd who held his two-month old son for the first time. "Words can't express how wonderful this is. When I got the news about my son, it was exciting.I can't describe how great I feel right now. The Connecticut's deployment began on November 30th, 2011 and made visits to Singapore and Yokosuka, Japan.
Johnson noted, "The deployment was outstanding. It's a testament to the endurance of the Seawolf class, and the crew did a fantastic job. Our presence in the Western Pacific does a lot to promote stability in the region, and it also gives us the opportunity to interact with the sailors of other nations." The Connecticut was also recognized by the Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet as the recipient of the 2011 Battle Efficiency Award for Submarine Development Squadron 5. The award recognizes the most proficient submarine crew in each squadron and recognizes sustained superior technical performance and continual combat readiness. The USS Connecticut is the second of the Navy's three Seawolf-class submarines, all homeported in the Pacific Northwest-the Connecticut and Seawolf at Bremerton, and the USS Jimmy Carter at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.

I believe it's priced right based on all the input I have gotten, not only from the public databases, but I have a brother who does this for a living (although he's in another state) and he helped me set a fair price right where it should sell. Who are these pseudo dealers and how are they doing it? My car is a 2008, which if I understand you correctly, should put it in demand since there were fewer new cars bought in that timeframe?

Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman underwent surgery this morning in Philadelphia as scheduled to repair a torn abdominal muscle. The operation lasted roughly 25 minutes, and Zimmerman was able to return to his hotel room in Philadelphia before noon.
Dr. Bill Meyers, the specialist who diagnosed the tear Friday and performed the surgery today, "was pleased with the procedure and is optimistic that Ryan will be back playing at full strength soon," said Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA Sports, Zimmerman's agent.
The Nationals expect a six-week recovery time, General Manager Mike Rizzo said Saturday. The Nationals, who begin a nine-game road trip against three National League East contenders in Philadelphia today, have gone 11-9 without their best player.
Zimmerman is confident he and the Nationals took the proper approach to treating the injury. He played with a strain until April 9, when he slid into second base against the New York Mets and the strain turned into a tear. Zimmerman tried to rehab the injury, seeing surgery as a last resort, but decided on visiting a specialist after a clear dearth of progress.
Zimmerman will start the recovery process, Nationals athletic trainer Lee Kuntz said Saturday, by walking one mile tomorrow.

Real estate agents affiliated with Crye-Leike in the Chattanooga area were told that "It's a new day" concerning the 2013 real estate market. The company's success in Chattanooga reflects market conditions across all areas where Crye-Leike has offices.
Home sales history in Chattanooga from 2000, shows the "high-water mark" came in 2006, and the "bottom of the trough" occurred in 2011, said Harold Crye, CEO and co-founder of the company. The final figures for the year show that 2012 was very good, with sales of $405 million in the Chattanooga area which is the largest increase since 2007.
Mr. Crye told the realtors that there is an eight-year low inventory of houses for sale, and that new home construction was put on hold during the downturn in the economy. He said two-three years are usually needed to create a new subdivision from the acquisition of land to the actual building, so new homes will not be available immediately. According to the National Association of Realtors, 2012 was the best year for housing affordability since record keeping started in 2007 partially because of low interest rates and an abundance of available houses.
Now the industry is experiencing demand up and supply down which is contributing to a five-seven percent median increase in the sales price of a home. Construction prices have remained high so the increased cost of a new home will raise the price of existing housing, said Mr. Crye. He also predicts a rise in interest rates, however estimating that the rate will be around four percent. This is still very low he said. This price appreciation equates to wealth appreciation since the equity in a house is usually a persons' largest investment, he said.
In the recent past a large percentage of transactions have been in distressed sales such as foreclosures and "upside-down" mortgages. In 2012, the top producer by unit in Crye-Leike's Chattanooga offices came from the REO branch which deals with Real Estate Owned, foreclosed property. Mr. Crye predicts that REO sales will decline and said it will be necessary to prepare for a normal time which produces only about three percent of this type of sales.
In the next four years it is expected that REO sales will decline and that by 2016 the market will be back to the average normal of three percent. In 2010, 30 percent of the company's sales were attributed to REO properties, 23 percent in 2011, and 25 percent in 2012. As the number of these properties decline, it is expected that in 2013, they will make up 15 percent of the sales, falling off to eight percent in 2014 and five percent in 2015.
Renter households are increasing because people think that they will not be unable to buy a house. One of Crye-Leike's goals for the future includes growth in property management to take advantage of this trend. It is expected that this business will come from out of town investors that have purchased rental property and need a local company to manage it. Management services are also needed by individuals that may be "upside-down" in their mortgages, and want to rent a property until all the value is re-gained.
Embracing new technology such as the use of smart phones laptops and IPads to make presentations to customers is the way of the future, the realtors were told. A visual presentation provides a focal point and creates more interest. Social media such as Facebook is also seen as a form of customer engagement. The company is planning to provide technology training to their agents on a one-to-one basis.
Listing syndication presents a foreseeable problem for realtors, said Mr. Crye. The company has posted their listings on many websites other than their own, such as Truilla and Zillow. He doesn't like the fact that on these sites, another realtor's picture may appear alongside a listing that is not their own. This happens because the site has been paid, which is deceptive, he said. He likened the practice to extortion to get payment from the listing agent. This was not being done when the company started using these services, and the solution is unknown, he said. A possibility is to keep the company's listings on only a few sites unless an individual agent wishes to pay for their listings on others. He told the audience that a national solution is being worked on. If nothing is done, real estate companies could lose because these websites could become the gate keepers, he said.
Optimism is exhibited by another goal of the company, which is to increase sales in 2013 by $5 million which would be an 11 percent company-wide increase over 2012. This equates to a goal of selling a 10 percent increase in the number of units for the upcoming year. The new year is off to a good start, since the month of January showed an increase of 25 percent over the same time period a year ago, he said.

India raises voice on Gaza
A dear old friend just sent to me from New York the text of the statement issued by the IBSA grouping [India-Brazil-South Africa] a few minutes ago at the UN Headquarters regarding the Gaza situation. The IBSA statement reads as follows:
QUOTE. India, Brazil and South Africa express their strongest condemnation of the ongoing violence between Israel and Palestine, that threatens the peace and security of the region. The IBSA countries deeply regret the loss of human lives and express their concern over the disproportionate and excessive use of force.
They urge the parties to immediate;y cease all violence, to exercise maximum restraint and to avoid taking any action that may further exacerbate the situation. They stress their expectation that the United Nations Security Council will do its utmost in the fulfillment of its responsibilities in regard to this serious situation.
They also stress the urgent need to lift the blockade in Gaza which continues to worsen the already dire socio-economic and humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The IBSA countries express their strong support to the mediation efforts of the Government of Egypt, the League of Arab States and the UN Secretary-General aimed at achieving a negotiated ceasefire.
Th IBSA countries believe that only diplomacy and dialogue will lead to the resolution of the current crisis, which makes it even more urgent to resume direct talks between israel and Palestine, leading to a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian Question, ie., the achievement of a two-state solution.
In view of the upcoming UN General Assembly discussion on the Question of Palestine, India, Brazil and South Africa express their support for Palestine's request to be accorded Observer State status in the United Nations system. UNQUOTE.
What makes this statement particularly notable is that it is the outcome of an Indian initiative. The announcement of India's support for Palestine's observer status in the UN system is simply fantastic.

The latest round of posturing and resolution-mongering must surely be warming the cockles of many Left-libber hearts, as is evident from the writer's post. Licking the tails of the jihadis while poking a finger at Israel (which at least understands India's votebank compulsions) is "fantastic" according to him. Astounding that such are the individuals who have been adorning the portals of the MEA. Don't be surprised why we are still begging to get into the UNSC. The answer lies at home.

This initiative may be fantastic but not without risks to India.
So far India has played Iran and Israel relationships with considerations to maintain access to Afghanistan and security threats to India. The old posturing on ideological positions which Left of Centre Nehruvian years formulated has been relegated by pressing Near-Abroad needs.
The dove tailing on economic sanctions has already split the Iranian constituency regarding India. And a similar split is not likely in Israel with proponents of Greater Israel seeking to pressure India. The preferred mode of this constituency may be to rake up pressure on India may include Kashmir. The Sino-Pak seeking to capitalize on such a development, if any, cannot be ruled out.
This time around US, it appears from various quarters, determined to work towards just resolution of Palestine issue. May be the Indo-US relationship has firmed up to such an extent that risk of opposition from Greater Israel proponents is now affordable.
Indian diplomacy has traversed a long journey from early years of proclaiming intents to pragmatic considerations of affordable risks and capability deployment. But the forces against which it has arraigned itself now are formidable and cannot be underestimated.
