The University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies has refused to cancel a series of lectures marking the centenary of Tel Aviv.
A Palestinian pressure group demanded that the series, organised by the Centre for Jewish Studies, did not go ahead, claiming it was "morally repulsive" to be celebrating Tel Aviv "while Gaza burns".
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) called on the university to cancel the "ill-conceived propaganda exercise."
Two British academics have arrived in Gaza to collect Palestinian students who would otherwise be unable to take up university places abroad.
Prof Jonathan Rosenhead and Research Fellow Mike Cusham went by boat from Cyprus to collect the 16 students, some of whom have scholarships at colleges in Europe and North America.
They docked on Tuesday afternoon and hope to leave within the next few days.
Student party organisers have caused a major row by asking guests to come in fancy dress - and be accompanied by "a fit Jew".
Guests were told to find female students as dates and dress up, complete with money-bags and wear fake peyot (sidelocks).
The event was cancelled following complaints from Jewish students and Oxford University's student union is now carrying out an investigation.
A university rugby club invited its players to take part in a 'bring a Jew' night and told them to find female Jewish students as dates.
Members of Oxford University's men's under-21 side were encouraged to 'dress up as Jews' and carry money bags.
The event, due to take place on Wednesday, was cancelled after complaints from Jewish students, but it is thought some players went ahead with the night out as planned.
Officials from the university and student union had told organisers to cancel the social and are now investigating.
Reform-backed young adults' initiative Jeneration is building a presence on campus.
It has produced a 60-page freshers' pamphlet, The Ultimate Guide to Student Survival, listing contacts for student activity as well as for local Reform, Liberal and Masorti communities.
Launched last year by the Reform movement to promote informal networks among young people, Jeneration has a student fieldworker and eight regional representatives.
Antisemitic incidents in universities shot up by 88 per cent in the first half of this year, according to figures released this week by the Community Security Trust.
There were 49 incidents in the first six months of this year compared to 26 in the first half of 2007. However, only two involved assaults and both of those were off campus; the rest were incidents of verbal abuse or graffiti.
A Shakespearean scholar from Anglia Ruskin University is the latest member to resign from the University and College Union over its policy calling on academics to review links with Israeli institutions. In a letter to the union, Professor Sarah Annes Brown wrote: "I am not Jewish, have no links with Israel, and don't support all of its actions and policies. However I… don't wish to belong to a union which singles out one country for such insistent scrutiny."
A veteran US comedy writer and producer has donated $4m (£2m) to endow an academic chair in Yiddish language and culture at UCLA. The gift by Michael "Mickey" Ross will go to the university's Centre for Jewish Study, where Yiddish has been taught for 30 years.
Recovering anorexic Mandy Kaye made history this week as she graduated from Cambridge with starred first-class honours and a distinction — the only student in her geography faculty to do so.
But it could have all been so different for the 25-year-old, who, five years ago, was given just days to live.
Ms Kaye, from Southgate, North London, has been battling anorexia for nine years. At her lowest, she weighed just under five stone.
Now, hopeful of a making full recovery, she is determined to inspire others to do the same.
Manchester University's growing reputation for harbouring antisemitism is facing a new challenge after Jewish candidates gained a third of the places on the student-union council.
The new team will have four Jewish representatives on the executive and another 14 on the student council. One of them — Rob Pinfold — is the new general secretary.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Apr 2013 11:37 GMT | Sport, Football, Bahrain, China, Saudi Arabia
Would-be Asian football president Yousuf Al Serkal promised to reveal all his allowances and introduce a "whistle-blower" programme to fight corruption as he released his election manifesto on Monday.
The UAE football association chief, who is standing in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) leadership election next month, said greater openness and transparency was vital for the regional body.
"We are at a time when our stakeholders believe that leaders in the game are only in it for themselves - this must change," Al Serkal said in a press statement.
"I want to see an AFC where football is the first and only topic on our agenda and that is why my campaign slogan is 'Football at Heart'."
Asia's football body will elect a new leader at a congress in Kuala Lumpur early next month, after former president Mohamed bin Hammam was accused of bribery in 2011 and finally stepped down from the post last year.
Caretaker leader Zhang Jilong of China is set to step aside, with Al Serkal up against Hammam ally Worawi Makudi of Thailand, Bahrain's Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa and Saudi candidate Hafez Ibrahim Al Medlej.
Top of Al Serkal's campaign promises was to "reunite Asian football", and he also pledged to try to improve governance, balance professional and amateur football and distribute revenues more evenly.
He also said he would decentralise AFC activities from its current base, AFC House in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, and "embrace the diversity of Asia" at the headquarters.
Al Serkal said he would introduce a "whistle-blower" programme to try to root out the corruption which has plagued Asian football at many levels, and would declare all his personal allowances and benefits.
"If I am successful, I will lead the way to make the AFC much more transparent with improved governance in order that we regain the integrity of the game in Asia," he said.
"It is important that I lead by example, and so I will publicly declare all allowances and benefits given to me by the confederation, and expenditure incurred by my office.
"I will also introduce a 'whistle blower' programme to allow players and officials to report in absolute confidence any irregularities - whether in match fixing or any issue relating to football."
The election, at the AFC congress in Kuala Lumpur on May 2 and 3, is likely to be a hard-fought affair and risks widening factional splits in the diverse, 46-member body, the world's biggest football grouping.
Cleaning up corruption, including match-fixing, is also a huge task with operations from illegal gambling estimated in the billions of dollars and straddling dozens of countries and jurisdictions worldwide.
Bin Hammam remains under investigation for alleged financial wrongdoing during his time in office. He denies the accusations, as well as claims of bribery during his campaign to become president of world body FIFA in 2011.

Tyus Jones Says "We Sold Each Other on Going" About Committing to Duke Blue Devils
Point guard Tyus Jones and center Jahlil Okafor, both top five players according to ESPN's rankings, recently announced their intention to the world of playing for the Duke Blue Devils next season. Jones though the choice was clear, but they helped each other on the way towards their decision.
"We sold each other (on attending Duke)," Jones said to Sporting News. "We just sat down and figured what would be the best fit for the both of us to go and make an impact our freshman year and really learn and better ourselves as players and people."
Okafor has called Jones like a brother and even said that regardless of basketball he would have wanted to go to college with him. That is just kind of adorable.
Look out folks. My bunny ears are picking up radar signals of a full fledged bro-mance between these two and watching their chemistry develop during their freshman year at Duke is going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Okafor has been compared in terms of skill level to Tim Duncan, and Jones has gotten the Chris Paul treatment many times in his still young career. Next on the docket these two will meet up in competition in December, and you can bet that I will be watching that game quite carefully. Recently found out because of other obligations that cannot make it to the game, but will definitely offer opinions to you all both before and after.

But when you're two fiercely independent, highly emotional people every day is a journey through a dense jungle, a shot into space, a dive to the deepest parts of the ocean, a race without a finish. Nothing is easy in a collusion of spirits.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Margo McCall: There's increasing evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is better for human health, the planet, and of course for the more than 9 billion animals that are killed for consumption each year in the U.S alone.
Joe Mathews: Thanks to Xi Jinping, Chinese millionaires have propped up the state's sagging real estate market, universities, and companies.

Just started brewing here in my new location, and all of my beers are turning out astringent. My first was a British IPA, and my second was a Foreign Extra stout. Astringency was noted in the first, but overpowering in the second. Its undrinkable.
- My crush is being performed by my local HB shop, so I think I can trust them.
- I really dont think theres any way Im sparging at temperatures too high. Even though Ive got my sparge water @ 180, I can see my mash drop in temp from 155 on down. So maybe just at the surface Im extracting tannins, but I cant think that makes the difference that Im tasting.
is it my water? My HB shop guy thought maybe chlorine. How much chlorine is too much?
As a reference to anyone else in the Libertyville area, this is the info I got from the station:
Alkalinity (as CaCO3)
.95-108 ppm
35.0 ppm
13.0 ppm
Hardness (as CaCO3)
..110-140 ppm
<50 pp billion
...11.0 ppm
..10.0 ppm
25.0 ppm (or as low as 10 ppm)
Free Chlorine
.0.671.02 mg/L
you're in better shape than me. But like I said in the other thread, I've been using bottled and also distilled/tap.
Sodium, Na 35
Potassium, K 14
Calcium, Ca 64
Magnesium, Mg 23
Total Hardness, CaCO3 256
Nitrate, NO3-N < 0.1 (SAFE)
Sulfate, SO4-S 16
Chloride, Cl 12
Carbonate, CO3 < 1
Bicarbonate, HCO3 326
Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 267
Well at least you don't have any chloromines.
Anyway that is fairly hard water. I live in Dundee and we have really hard water. I generally brew using water from my water softener and it turns out fine. Before that I used my water cut by half with distilled water.

I have the same water as you and haven't had any trouble with mine. Did you get any husks in the boil?
I may be oversparging. I've just been collecting to 7 gallons (to account for a crazy high evaporation rate) and stopping there. I really can't say I know either the pH of my mash, nor the gravity of my run-off, at that point.
Next round I'm popping some Campden tabs and watching my run-off gravity a little more closely.
But does anybody know about that chlorine level in my water? Can I tell if my levels are too high from my free chlorine levels alone?
I am in California and my water is fairly the same so you might use some 5 Star 5.2 conditioner if the mash PH is too far out of range. Get some PH test strips to find out. Test the mash liquid only at room temperature.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment
Two minor tips. Your pH is high - as said, use the 5.2 pH to reduce the pH of your mash. Read good texts eg Palmer's "How To Brew" , but there are many others to understand a little about pH and alkalinity in the mash. Secondly, don't over sparge. After a good sparge, if you haven't got your ideal boiling amount, add water. Gravity too low - add a bit of malt extract or sugar. Many brewers sparge and sparge thinking the coloured water coming out is good wort. Actually its low gravity and likely just leaching tannins. If you are nervous about your efficiency, add more grain to the mash. You are better adding a few extra pounds of grain and getting good beer than oversparging and effectively wasting a brew.
I live in Knollwood (corner of Rockland and Waukegan), and im assuming you LHBS is Perfect Brewing, and yes, Billy knows what hes doing- their crush has always been good to me
Looking for some water treatment info, I came across this old thread of mine and thought I'd close it off for good: the problem was never the water, it was the garden hose I was using to dispense the water.
Don't use a garden hose for your brewing water. Unless of course you like the taste of the inside of garden hoses.

It is a huge relief! I feel like we have nothing ready for the baby so it feels good to have one thing figured out!
Posted 01/10/2013
Congratulations! that's really huge. :)

Thats awesome! I tried to get something lined up a month or so ago, and all the places I called said to call back when I actually need daycare....so frustrating. I guess that's what my maternity leave will be spent doing....finding a daycare.
We welcomed our post deployment baby girl 3-28-13!

I was afraid if we waited too long they wouldn't have any openings. I would hate having to wait that long:(

I think you can reasonably expect an answer up to 3 months before you will actually need it. They should be aware at that point of any babies moving from an infant room.
