It may not be recorded in any history book, dear reader, but for a few moments in a concentration camp, Jewish prisoners achieved freedom --- freedom of the spirit.
The Festival of Freedom in Block 20 ... Mauthausen, Germany: 1945
By Abraham Krakowski
I ROLLED THE WHEAT kernels over and over between my fingers. I had already popped one into my mouth and had made it last as long as possible. I ached for another, but I restrained myself, simply because of the bravado announcement I had so foolishly made in transit.
Our boxcar from Sachsenhausen lurched to a halt. The door slid open slightly and we had seen an open car loaded with wheat kernels standing nearby. Within easy reach were hundreds of kernels. We scooped up several handfuls of the stuff before the train began to move again. Someone sighed ruefully.
"It's exactly thirty days to Pesach," I said, breaking the silence. "We ought to save these kernels -- Who knows? Maybe we'll be liberated by Pesach, and we will use these for matzos mitzvah!
The mere mention of liberation and the festival of freedom was heady stuff, and none of the religious members of our group dared chew any more kernels, at least publicly.
But that was weeks ago. Liberation had not come. No one received food packages, as we had in Sachsenhausen. And at Mauthausen, the food was impossible. One loaf of bread was rationed for eight men. The daily soup was inedible. I had always managed to eat everything, even in Birkenau, but in spite of gnawing hunger I could not tolerate the Mathausen soup and vomited from it.
I was fingering the wheat longingly, weak, when Mendel Markus and the Rubenstein brothers approached me. The Seder night was two weeks away. I should ask the Block Altester [Senior], Atze Levin, and the Stuben Altester [Room Senior], Ernst Gottlieb, for permission to bake matzos, since I was on good terms with them. Markus and the Rubensteins would take care of the time and the place, using the washroom late at night so the SS would not find out. The only problem would be to heat the stove sufficiently so the baking could proceed quickly.
I could not share in their excitement. We were isolated slave laborers in a prison camp, surrounded by the SS men on all sides. Our only value to our masters was our skills in handling counterfeit money, not as human beings. I could not see risking our lives further just to bake matzos. And then, what about the prisoners who sleep near the stove! Some were only "half-Jews" and "quarter-Jews." We were so crowded that we practically slept in a heap. They would never tolerate the overheated stove. What would we do if an SS officer would make a sudden appearance? And how would we beat the kernels into flour! (That was a job I would relish, but how would we do it!) The plan was simply too fraught with doubt and danger.
Markus would not soften his stand. Is it only coincidence that these wheat kernels came into our hands a month before Pesach!
We finally agreed that I would present our dilemma to Reb Avigdor Glanzer, a Torah scholar whose word we all respected. (Markus was not on good terms with Glanzer, but he agreed to accept his decision.)
I told Glanzer the entire story, and he agreed with me fully. When I brought back his opinion to Mendel Markus, he spat out at me: "So now you'll have your way and we won't have matzos. Don't you realize that this is probably the last Pesach of our lives! You'll have some explaining to do in the Next World."
His words hurt, and I had to struggle with myself not to punch him. "You're a scoundrel for rubbing salt in our wounds," I shot back at him. "If you can talk that way, your entire religion is phony! I'm not stopping you from baking matzos. Why don't you approach the Block Altester and Stuben Altester, the way you ask me to! I, personally, don't see any mitzvah in risking our lives."
More out of desperation than conviction, I quoted the Talmud (Pesachim 43b, 91b) that draws a parallel between the obligation to eat matzos on Pesach and the prohibition against eating leaven. Anyone prohibited to eat chametz must eat matzos. "Could that apply to us!" I argued heatedly. "We couldn't live eight days without leaven. We'd starve. So we're not expected to eat matzos, either."
I realized the argument was faulty, so I added in parting, "Remember Chanukah! I didn't want to take chances then, either. So you lit candles on your own. Who's to stop you from baking matzos now?"
My answer to him was no answer to myself. I sought comfort from the Rubensteins and Glanzer. They were quick to agree with me that Markus was cruel, and that I should ignore his taunts. Glanzer was especially furious with Markus. Yet they voiced reservations.
"But still --" "Maybe we could still manage --"
"After all, the grain -- isn't it a sign from Heaven that G-d
wants us to go ahead and bake matzos?"
"Look here," I insisted, no one ever thought Of baking matzos until I said it in that boxcar from Sachsenhausen. It was my idea, and now I say forget about it. As for G-d wanting us to eat matzos, His help can come in a flash, anyway. Let's just leave this to Him."
My retort quieted them, but not my restless thoughts. That night I slept fitfully. In my dream, my deceased father and I were visiting the Holy Rebbe of Radomsk.
We stood at the table at which he usually sat. Next to him stood his son-in-law, Reb Moshe. (The Rebbe and his son-in-law were killed by the SS in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, together with their wives. I had known that already.) The Rebbe asked me: "What are you doing about davening with a minyan? It's written: "'A whole thing, and not halfway.'''
I replied: "If it's at all possible, we see to it that when someone has to say Kaddish on a Yahrzeit (the anniversary of the death of a parent) that we get ten people together. We also manage an occasional Kedushah and Borchu."
Suddenly my father was not there anymore. I realized while dreaming that my father was no longer of this world, and I began begging the Rebbe to look into our situation, and that he should pray to G-d to help us. Then I told him the entire story of the grain and how Markus had chastised me, insisting that we bake matzos. I told him about my answer, the Talmudic passage I quoted, my argument. I asked him what he thought about the matter. He answered: "I shall tell you. As a matter of principle, you are correct, but you will remember your dear father labored to bake matzohs. And it's written: `And thus you shall do for all your generations.'"
With that, the dream was over.
The next morning I awoke full of hope that we would be freed. The words were echoing in my ears: "Thus you shall do for all your generations ... all your generations!" There would be more generations!
I could not wait to hear them call: "Everybody out of bed!" I ran directly to Glanzer and all but shouted, "Glanzer, we'll bake matzos!"
He stared at me, and asked: "What happened all of a sudden?"
I told him the entire dream and the impression it had made me.
"If that is the case, I have no counsel to offer and I am in agreement." he said " -- and very happy at that."
I went to Markus and the Rubensteins, and also told them the story, and that we would indeed bake matzos. I was so convinced that our liberation was at hand that no guns could scare me.
Glanzer, one of the Rubensteins, and I approached Atze the Block Senior for permission to bake the matzos in the evening after taps. He asked: And where do you expect to do all that!?"
We told him that the preparation would be done in the washroom, but we would like to have the stove in the room well heated so the baking could be handled with speed. We assured him that the whole operation, from beginning to end, would take only half an hour. He went with us to Ernst Gottlieb, the Room Senior. Both realized that we were serious. They agreed, and added: "Think of us, too."
We quickly began the detailed planning on how to accomplish our task. We washed four towels and hung them to dry on the wall surrounding the yard. After they had dried, we wrapped the grain kernels in the towels and took four hammers (we had access to tools) and beat the grain into a piece of paper. After several hours of arm-aching work, we'd collected about 200 grams of flour.
During the course of the day, we found a tin can which we heated through to make it kosher for Pesach use. By bedtime the stove was piping hot. When the light was turned off, some of those near the stove started to complain that it was too hot for them. Gottlieb raised his voice, "Krakowski is not to be disturbed in his work. Everyone quiet!" That was sufficient to silence the complaints.
We quickly went into the washroom. We prepared the dough in a bowl we had previously heated and cleaned, and whispering, with tears on our cheeks, we sang snatches from the Hallel prayer. The kneading and rolling took some ten minutes. We had a board for rolling out the dough, but we had to use an empty bottle as a rolling pin. I then stationed myself at the stove, and every minute or so, one of my co-workers brought me a matzah from the washroom. The stove was so hot that it took barely two minutes for six matzos to be done. I would slide one matzah on and take off another.
We stuck to our schedule, and the entire work was finished in less than eighteen minutes! We had baked sixteen matzos, each about the size of the palm of my hand. For the first time in years we went to bed happy.
The next morning we began writing down the Haggadah and its recounting of the Exodus from Egypt, piecing it together from whatever anyone could remember by heart.
In the evening, our Seder began. Again we slipped into the washroom. The previous evening we were six in the washroom; that night, fifteen. There were more who wanted to join us, but there was not enough room, and then, we were afraid that the SS might hear us. We started reciting the aggadah very quietly. Some of us could not contain ourselves and broke into sobs. As for me, I could not utter a single word.
When I had quieted down a little, I reminded the others not to forget where we were, and to try to be quick. After we recounted the Exodus from Egypt, we washed our hands and ate a piece of matzah. I permitted myself to save a piece the size of a fingernail, as a talisman.
At the conclusion of our Seder, after the traditional "Next year in Jerusalem," we said in one voice, as if it were part of the text: "If G-d will only free us now, we will have to make an even greater

Propaganda as pedagogy
WASHINGTON — The real vocation of some people entrusted with delivering primary and secondary education is to validate this proposition: The three R's — formerly reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic — now are racism, reproduction and recycling. Especially racism.
Consider Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction. It evidently considers "instruction" synonymous with "propaganda," which in the patois of progressivism is called "consciousness-raising."

Prothonotary Warbler impersonates House Sparrow
No, these aren't Photoshop composites, that really is a Prothonotary Warbler scavenging for food underneath and on top of trash cans and tables in Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan. This bird was discovered by Matthew Rymkiewicz on October 21st but conversations with locals suggest that it's been around for at least 2 weeks prior to that. It's feeding on crumbs and other bits of food just like a House Sparrow and will often follow the flocks around for just that purpose.
This is the eastern edge of Bryant Park along 5th Avenue and right in front of the NY Public Library. There are some trees, a few bushes and a fine display of chrysanthemums but otherwise is totally urban and about the last thing that resembles a southern swamp.
Based on feather shape the bird is a first fall immature, and by coloration and extent of white on the tail it's a male. There are pretty much never any fall records of Prothonotary Warbler in NYC for one good reason: there's no breeding population north of us. It seems likely that this immature bird is has a confused sense of direction. Unfortunately this also means that it might not reset and head south when the weather turns colder. But at least for the next week the weather looks good for its survival.
Context really alters bird behavior - not only is this Prothonotary very tame indeed, so are the White-throated Sparrows, Hermit Thrushes and in particular the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers that were spending time in this small space. There were 4 sapsuckers working the trees along the two city blocks (40th-42nd) along 5th avenue, often at eye level and extremely approachable. There was also one Black-capped Chickadee, reflecting the invasion year that we're having. The Prothonotary hasn't started using the sapsucker holes yet, a behavior we've seen with other birds that have stayed into the winter (Cape May Warbler in Riverside Park, Western Tanager in Central Park, and possibly the Scott's Oriole).
This bird last seen on Thursday, Oct 28th.
Bryant Park,
Prothonotary Warbler

Risk TopographyMarkus K. BrunnermeierPrinceton University - Department of Economics Gary B. GortonYale School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Arvind KrishnamurthyNorthwestern University - Kellogg School of Management May 31, 2011 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to conceptualize and design a risk topography that outlines a data acquisition and dissemination process that informs policymakers, researchers and market participants about systemic risk. Our approach emphasizes that systemic risk (i) cannot be detected based on measuring cash instruments, e.g., balance sheet items and income statement items; (ii) typically builds up in the background before materializing in a crisis; and (iii), is determined by market participants' response to various shocks. We propose that regulators elicit from market participants their (partial equilibrium) risk as well as liquidity sensitivities with respect to major risk factors and liquidity scenarios. General equilibrium responses and economy-wide system effects can be calibrated using this panel data set.

For the first time, available for the Betta hobbyist a wild almond leaf extract, and a lot more. Designed in an easy-to-use format that is clean, complete and consistent. Atison's Betta Spa contains four key elements essential for a healthy active Betta. Wild almond leaf extract creates a natural environment for the Betta, helping promote activity and more vibrant colors. Yucca extract helps bind the ammonia in the water making for fewer water changes and lowers the PH, absorbing harmful chemicals. Calcium is added for strong fin growth and scale development and is needed to activate the muscles. Salt the key element in creating a healthy balanced environment. Now the hobbyist can have what the professional breeders have used and tested for years.

Inhibition Phenotype Specific for orië Replication-dependent Phage Growth, and a Reappraisal of the Influence of ë P Expression on Escherichia coli Cell Metabolism: P-Interference Phenotype
Replication initiation of E. coli and ë each depend upon a protein generally called a licensing factor, which brings the DnaB helicase protein to the origin site to begin DNA synthesis. The licensing factors are the products of host gene dnaC and ë gene P. The synthesis of P from ë DNA in an E. coli cell can competitively interfere with DnaC activity needed for E. coli replication initiation. I wished to learn more about what happens to a host cell when exposed to extended P expression. Previous studies in this laboratory suggested that i) the continuous expression of P was tolerated by a subset of exposed cells and that ii) host defects mapping to dnaB could suppress the effect of extended P expression (P-lethality). I used DNA sequencing to determine if these suppressor mutations were within dnaB. I screened known host mutations for their influence on P-lethality. In summary: E. coli strains with GrpD55 and GrpA80 defects were found to each have two point mutations within their dnaB genes. I was unable to isolate mutations within P that suppressed P-lethality and instead obtained regulatory mutations preventing wild type P expression. Two of these sequenced mutations showed that a cI[Ts] lambda repressor was reverted to cI wild type, blocking P expression at all assay temperatures. P-lethality was reversible in cells exposed to P for up to five hours, causing me to suggest that P-Interference be used in place of the term P-lethality. A non-inducible allele of lexA prevented P-mediated cellular filamentation and enhanced P-Interference. This suggests that induction of the SOS response helps cells to tolerate extended P expression. A host strain containing a defective ClpXP protease significantly enhanced cellular sensitivity to P-Interference. This suggests an important role for the ClpXP chaperone-protease complex in degradation of P and cellular resistance to P expression. I present models to explain the P-Interference Phenotype.
Recent reports have re-opened the possibility that the tO-oop-pO element influences ë DNA replication initiation. I have also been investigating this possibility. I found that a plasmid with tO-oop-pO (the terminator, nucleotide sequence and promoter for OOP RNA) and orië DNA sequence was inhibitory to the development of repë phages, and designated this the Inhibition Phenotype (IP). In pursuing the mechanism for this inhibition, I mutated the tO-oop-pO and orië elements. I found that the expression of the 77nt OOP RNA transcript and the presence of four 18 base pair repeats (iterons) within orië were required for the IP. I isolated spontaneous phage mutants, resistant to the IP. I determined that singly infected cells were sensitive to the IP but that multiply infected cells escaped the IP. I propose that the IP to repë phage development is directed to the initial or theta mode of ë replication initiation. I found that the theta-mode of ë replication initiation can be bypassed, likely via recombination between multiple phage genomes within a singe cell. I propose models to explain the IP and also suggest a role for OOP RNA in the regulation of ë DNA replication.

Nuclear-weapon capable, medium range surface-to-surface Prithvi-II and ship-based Dhanush missiles, both having a range of 330 km, would be test-fired as part of user trials on Saturday.
Personnel of the Strategic Forces Command would conduct the trials of both the missiles, which have already been inducted into the Services.
According to DRDO officials, Prithvi-II would be launched from the Integrated test Range, Balasore, while Dhanush would be fired from naval ship Subhadra off the Orissa coast.
The user trial of the nuclear-weapon capable surface-to-surface Agni-I, with a range of 700 km, isplanned for Sunday.
Both Prithvi and Dhanush are single stage, liquid propelled systems, and each can carry a payload of 500 kg.
The first paragraph of a report "Test-firing of Prithvi-II, Dhanush today" (March 27, 2010) said that the medium range surface-to-surface Prithvi-II and ship-based Dhanush missiles, both having a range of 330 km, would be test-fired as part of user trials on Saturday, while the third paragraph of a report "Dhanush, Prithvi-II test-fired successfully" (March 28, 2010) said that each missile had achieved its full range (Dhanush 350 km and Prithvi-II 290 km). This led to a query.
The writer clarifies that while Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) sources (on March 26, 2010) incorrectly mentioned the range of both the missiles to be 330 km, the next day, following the successful launch, stated that the missiles had touched a range of 350 km (Dhanush) and 290 km (Prithvi-II). The full range of Dhanush is 350 km while Prithvi-II's is 295 km.
Keywords: Prithvi-II, Dhanush missiles, DRDO

I used to go to this place with my mother when i was 5 years old, and all the colors were still new. I was glad to see it was still there on a recent trip to the town where i was born with my own family. :)
lovely shot
Jun 26th, 2013 ReplyThank you, The film worked with me on that day, even though I was frozen!
Jan 16th, 2014 Replythats fantastic, one of those things most people would walk past without even noticing it
Jul 3rd, 2011 ReplyThanks, Darren. Its in a sort of alley/parking lot behind a sort of five and dime store....not many people go there now...and the town itself is only about 5000 people...i'm sure they hardly notice.
Jul 3rd, 2011 ReplyThose old signs were painted with stuff that could withstand the test of time. Beautiful shot, Joseph!!!!
Jun 28th, 2011 ReplyThank you, I would imagine it was lead based or something...rural america has good paint. hee.
Jun 28th, 2011 ReplyLead based paint is very durable. Also, back then, they used petroleum based products in the paint, which also adds to the durability.
Jun 28th, 2011 ReplyInteresting...I shot a 7up sign that was similar yesterday...thats something to research.

Optical axial scanning in confocal microscopy using an electrically tunable lens |
Biomedical Optics Express, Vol. 5, Issue 2, pp. 645-652 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1699 KB)
This paper presents the use and characterization of an electrically focus tunable lens to perform axial scanning in a confocal microscope. Lateral and axial resolution are characterized over a >250 µm axial scan range. Confocal microscopy using optical axial scanning is demonstrated in epithelial tissue and compared to traditional stage scanning. By enabling rapid axial scanning, minimizing motion artifacts, and reducing mechanical complexity, this technique has potential to enhance in vivo three-dimensional imaging in confocal endomicroscopy.

It would be such a bummer if you ordered a bunch of Chinese food and were then told that your delivery wouldn't arrive because the delivery guy had his car stolen. Maybe the guy who allegedly did just that has a heightened sense of empathy — or he just wanted some extra cash — because cops say he decided to keep dropping off food.
The Associated Press says the man boosted a car from a Chinese food delivery driver after the worker had left it idling to run into a school, ostensibly to make a delivery.
He called the cops upon finding himself vehicle-less, as well as his boss to inform him that he might not be able to make those deliveries after all and pass that news on to the customers.. But at least one delivery was made after the theft, as the suspect was apparently trying to collect the money for the orders and pocket the cash.
Stealing an entire car seems like going to a bit of an extreme to steal what probably amounted to not much that cash. The man was charged with larceny, possession of drug paraphernalia and other drug charges.

First Amendment Defenses in Trade Secrecy CasesPamela SamuelsonUniversity of California, Berkeley - School of Law THE LAW AND THEORY OF TRADE SECRECY: A HANDBOOK ON CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH, Rochelle C. Dreyfuss, Katherine J. Strandburg, eds., 2010 UC Berkeley Public Law Research Paper No. 1623990 Abstract: Only rarely do defendants in trade secrecy cases raise First Amendment defenses to misappropriation claims. In a few cases, however, such defenses have not only been raised, but have been successful. These successes have been controversial. Some commentators and at least one court have opined that First Amendment defenses should never succeed in trade secret cases because trade secrets are property and property rights trump the First Amendment. Yet, other commentators and at least one court have argued that enjoining the use or disclosure of trade secrets is a prior restraint on speech that is presumptively unconstitutional. This article explores a middle ground. It explains why First Amendment defenses are so uncommon in trade secrecy cases, among them that trade secrecy law has some limiting doctrines (or "weaknesses") that mediate tensions that might otherwise occur between trade secrecy law and the First Amendment as applied to the use or disclosure of information. The article discusses at length the DVD CCA v. Bunner case in which an online activist was sued for trade secret misappropriation for posting DeCSS on the Internet because that code embodied information that DVD CCA asserted had been misappropriated by reverse engineering in breach of a shrinkwrap license. It refutes the California Supreme Court's analysis of First Amendment defenses as well as showing the inconsistency of this decision with other trade secrecy-First Amendment rulings. It argues that in ordinary trade secrecy cases, where disputes typically concern private uses and disclosures of information by firms that have wrongfully obtained it, no presumption of unconstitutionality is appropriate. However, when a third party, such as a journalist, obtains information that he or she knows has been obtained in breach of confidence and seeks to publicly disclose it because of its newsworthiness, First Amendment interests are implicated, and courts should take First Amendment defenses seriously. The article concludes with a discussion of First Amendment due process issues, such as the need for de novo review of constitutionally relevant facts.
