Tea party versus Madagascar's forestsJeremy Hance
October 02, 2011

"Our forests are disappearing every day more and more," said Razia Said, a musician and an organizer of the concert in Madagascar, told the AP.
Beginning in 2009, Madagascar suffered an illegal logging crisis. Taking advantage of a government coup, armed gangs—often funded by foreign traders—logged imperiled species of tropical hardwood, including rosewood and ebony. Logging occurred even in national parks. The sudden rise in illegal logging has also been linked to the slaughter of endangered lemurs for bushmeat. Madagascar, a global hotspot of biodiversity, is home to over 100 species of lemur, which are found no-where else in the world, along with a huge number of other endemic species, many of them threatened by habitat loss.

"These things are being sold for a lot of money and the people here are not getting much out of it. We'd like it to be more sanctioned and more controlled so we can save our forests," Said told the AP. It is estimated that around 70 percent of people in Madagascar suffer from malnutrition. Two-thirds of the population live below the international poverty line, making less than $1.25 a day.
Half-way across the world the Tea Party has a different view. Musical-instrument company, Gibson Guitar, is currently under investigation for breaking the US Lacey Act, which stipulates that importing companies must abide by the laws of the nations they do business with. In this case, the company is accused of buying wood products from illegal logging in Madagascar, byway of India. The investigation of Gibson Guitars is on-going and charges have yet to be leveled.
However, the nascent Tea Party has come to view the case as an example of too much regulation in the US. Gibson Guitar CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, raised the issue's profile by becoming increasingly outspoken about his view that his company is over-regulated, including numerous appearances on conservative media outlets. The issue even made it to Washington DC when House Speaker John Boehner invited Juszkiewicz to attend a recent jobs speech by President Barack Obama.
To support Gibson Guitar, which they view as the victim not the possible law-breaker, the Tea Party of Tennessee along with other Tea Party-affiliated groups is holding a rally and concert in Nashville, Tennessee with special guest Juszkiewicz.
Rumors—spread by supporters of Gibson Guitars—claim that the US Fish and Wildlife Service would confiscate musicians' instruments, however this is untrue. The Lacey Act only applies to bulk imports and the Fish and Wildlife Service says musicians 'have no need for concern'.
"This has been politicized in an irrational way, in an almost surreal way, and been twisted into a message around jobs," Andrea Johnson, forest campaign director for the nonprofit Environmental Investigation Agency, told the Tennessean. However the Gibson rally page, named We Stand with Gibson, describes the rally as 'a stand for freedom'.
The 2008 amendment to the Lacey Act to help counter illegal logging worldwide was approved with bi-partisan support, including from the Bush administration. The amendment was green-lit not only for its global environmental impact, but also so that American businesses would not have to compete with the artificially low prices of illegally logged wood coming in from overseas, reports Grist.
Since the amendment to the Lacey Act, illegal logging has fallen worldwide.

Madagascar asks CITES to regulate rosewood and ebony
(09/29/2011) Following a logging crisis in 2009 where a number of Madagascar's remaining forests were illegally cut, the African nation has turned to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to help regulate 91 species of rosewood and ebony. "Regulating trade in these high-value timber species under CITES will help ensure that the benefits of trade flow to local people and it will also serve the global community by helping conserve these species, which will be to the benefit of entire ecosystems."
Background: the Lacey Act and the Fish & Wildlife Service raid on Gibson Guitars
(09/02/2011) On 24 August 2011, agents of the Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) raided Gibson Guitar facilities in Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee, seizing ebony and rosewood material, guitars and guitar parts as evidence of suspected violation(s) of the U.S. Lacey Act. The Lacey Act is a long-standing anti-trafficking statute which prohibits commerce of illegally-sourced wildlife, plants and wood products from either the U.S. or other countries.

Montevallo, Ala. (September 10, 2006) – The Saint Leo University men's soccer team (3-3) fell 3-1 on the road against the University of Montevallo Falcons (4-2) on Sunday at Varsity Field in Montevallo, Ala.
SLU forward Asmir Pervan (Sr., Simmern, Germany) scored the Lions' lone goal in the match, marking the fourth straight match that the senior has scored at least one goal.
Montevallo scored three goals inside the first 19 minutes to take charge of the match. The Falcons opened the scoring just a minute and a half in and never looked back, as they added goals in the 13th minute and 19th minute.
Pervan pulled a goal back for Saint Leo in the 27th minute on an assist from Corey Ahern (Sr., Seminole, Fla.). The goal was the striker's sixth in just four matches, but proved to be only consolation for the Lions.
Saint Leo returns home on Thursday, September 14 when the Lions will face Warner Southern College at 7:00 p.m.

Sunny & hot for the weekend, but no more torrential rains
While still humid, the weekend won't be as oppressive or dramatic as Friday was. In fact, you can leave the umbrella at home!
This Afternoon: Mostly Sunny & Hot, Less Humid
Highs: 87-90 | Wind: N 5-10
Tonight: Mostly Clear & Mild
Lows: 66-72 | Wind: NE 5-10
Sunday: Sunny & Hot, Moderate Humidity
Highs: 88-92 | Wind: SE 5-10
After yesterday's torrential rains and flash flooding, the weekend looks to be far less dramatic. Friday's late afternoon storms dropped 0.60 inches of rain at Reagan National, 0.83 inches at BWI Marshall, and 1.27 inches at Dulles. Even more rain fell to areas north and east of D.C. with numerous flash floods reported in Frederick, Annapolis, Upper Marlboro, and Baltimore City. In the wake of the front associated with that heavy rain, skies have become mostly sunny and winds have shifted to the north. With abundant moisture still in the air, today will be somewhat less humid and not be nearly as oppressive as yesterday when dewpoints were in the 70s; dew points have dropped into the mid 60s here while the really comfortable air is just north of the Pennsylvania line. Look for high temperatures both today and tomorrow to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.
Both Monday and Tuesday are expected to be hotter and more humid than the weekend with highs in the low 90s and higher humidity. But a front late on Tuesday could fire off thunderstorms and return high pressure to the area for the remainder of the week. In fact, starting Wednesday daytime highs should hover in the mid 80s with lots of sunshine each day. It'll be a welcome break from the recent scourge of the 90s! Enjoy your Saturday.

The 1985 Corvette C4 was a Dismal Follow up to the Rookie C4 Vette of 1984
The 1985 Corvette should have found itself in the right place at the right time in American history. Gone was the gas shortage and here was the gas oversupply that saw gas prices fall by the wayside. This coupled with then President Regan's agreement with Japanese automakers to limit their exports to a certain number per year grabbed the attention of the American people and the masses rushed out looking for the big boy cars one again. However due to some steep pricing, the Vette didn't fare as well as GM would have liked.
Because the time of the high output cars was back, Chevy responded by creating an all new engine dubbed the L98 which saw for the first time 'Tuned Port Injection.' This gave the all new engine a welcomed boost in performance and now saw the 1985 Corvette put out an awesome 230 bhp, which represented an increase of 25 ponies from the previous version. To stop the new power Chevy used a braking system that featured a larger master cylinder and booster as well as improved brake pads.
With the new power came new complaints of a harder ride and Chevy quickly responded to those complaints by softening up both the spring and shock rates for all models in their arsenal for the year. If a buyer opted for the Z51 package they could even get Delco-Blistein gas pressurized shocks for added performance
Transmission improvements were also made to the mid 80s year Vette and the 4 + 3 Overdrive manual got a new 8.5 inch differential gear which was up from the previous year's 7.9 inches. Additionally the 1981 Corvette's transmission was redone to make the function of the overdrive less intrusive on the driver.
Many changes also came the way of cosmetics that gave the 1981 Corvette a better overall convenience feel. Some of the new cosmetic changes were:
- Newly reworked instrument graphics.
- Lear-Siegler seats at an extra cost.
- Refined interior for better overall comfort.
The most welcomed change however came by the way of Chevy acknowledging the squeaks and rattles that had plagues the super car for some time and they began to attempt to make vast improvements upon that. The refinements worked and even earned high praises from Car and Driver Magazine that year.
Most of the critics gave high praises to the 1985 Corvette though they still cited the digital dashboard to be too much of a gimmick. What was loved however, was the style, speed, and added refinement that came with the 1985 Vette.
Once again it seemed that the critics and the enthusiasts were at odds as the 1985 Corvette saw the lowest sales in quite some time. For the model year, the 1985 Corvette sold only 39,729 units and this represented the lowest total since 1975. Though there were many places to point the finger as to the cause of the sales plunge, the sticker was probably the best place to point. The Corvette was now costing over $24,000 for the most basic model and although the economy was indeed doing better it was still not in its heyday by any means and the price of the 1985 Corvette may have just proved that America was not ready for such a high priced piece of Heaven.

Home Canterbury Sport Article
However the prospects are not good, with more rain forecast ahead of the weekend.
No football has been played on the ground since December 14, when Bay beat Tooting 3-1.
Boss Denly said: "It ruined the pitch – we need a couple of dry days."
Groundsman Anthony Deer is pessimistic about a return to action this weekend.
Speaking on Wednesday Deer said: "It's one step forward and six steps back at the moment. It rained again overnight on Tuesday, and more is expected.
"The club want the game to go ahead, but the chances are slim. The problem is that the pitch sits on clay, which acts like a sponge."
If Bay do play, Denly will make changes as he looks for a reaction, following the 5-1 reverse at Ramsgate last weekend.
Sam Hasler, Connor Sanders and Ben Brown are all available after missing the game, while Kane Phillips could also be in contention for a place in the squad .
Three Bridges have won two and drawn the other in their last three games, having lost seven of their previous eight and Denly added: "They are on a decent run, but I keep saying, everyone in this league can beat each other."

The point design of beryllium capsules includes three Cu-doped layers in a 160-m-thick beryllium shell to achieve the desired X-ray absorption profile. The beryllium capsules were deposited on glow discharge polymer mandrels using a magnetron sputtering process. Cu diffusion during pyrolysis to remove the mandrels after coating has caused nonuniform distribution of Cu along the azimuthal direction due to inhomogeneous diffusion. This nonuniformity along the azimuthal direction could lead to Rayleigh-Taylor instability during capsule implosion. One of the methods to solve this issue is to incorporate a beryllium oxide diffusion barrier layer at the beryllium-Cu-doped-beryllium layer interfaces. In situ and ex situ beryllium oxide layers have proved to be effective in stopping Cu diffusion. This paper will focus on the approaches we have developed to characterize the in situ and ex situ oxide barrier layer thickness by using a combination of Auger electron spectroscopy profiles and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements.

Naming Day in Berkeley
Doreen1 was back in Berkeley now, remarried, another family. It had been ten years since I had seen her, fifteen since we had both lived in that renowned town.
I called to say hello, and she invited me and Molly to come to some kind of ceremony for her newborn son. She called it a "naming ceremony" and when I asked her if that meant a brit, a circumcision ritual, she said no, it's a naming ceremony.
Her new husband, Jeff, was from New York, a Renaissance man whom everyone described as brilliant. He was a professor like her first husband, Paul, but he didn't sound anything like Paul, who had stopped being a brilliant professor long ago, and had gone off to work as a teamster.
Molly wanted to go, to get out of the cycle of playgrounds and dirty diapers and see some grownup people. She was also curious to meet beautiful Doreen, the heroine of Carol Lifkin's trashy book, a best-seller which had been made into a TV mini-series.
The house in the Berkeley flat-lands off Sacramento Street was overflowing with couples, most of them in their late thirties, lots of little kids, everything at Berkeley tempo, wine and smoke on the sun-dappled brown-shingled porch. Every room in the spacious three-bedroom house was packed with Doreen's and Jeff's friends, most of them from their "radical Havurah" group. None of the people whom I had known in the Berkeley of the 60's was there, but I recognized Agnes Brown, the black journalist who had been involved in the Free Speech Movement and the Vietnam Day Committee. She remembered me as a friend of Sidney Kramer's, and she asked me about the tormented genius who had spent the 70's in hell. He had tried suicide four times during a decade of in-and-out incarceration as a manic-depressive.
"What a loss—to us," Agnes said. "But Sidney was always so crazy intense. . . . You know, I owe him a lot. He and Ben Goldman were always very sure of their Jewishness, and they didn't just say yassuh to the black nationalists who were ranting on about the Jews. Did you know that I converted?"
I was shocked. "To Judaism?"
When I asked her why, she said that the people closest to her were Jews, from childhood on. "My father was a state legislator. I was never out on the streets trying to score smack or sell myself at age twelve. I relate to Jews better than to blacks. I respect the history and the learning, the religion, you know, it saved my life. I got raped six months ago by this ghoul called Greasy, the Berkeley nightmare. . . . He raped me for five hours, broke into the house and held a knife to my throat. My little boy was asleep in the next room. Greasy said he was going to kill us both. He was very big, powerful, a black man with a hood on his head. I had never been so close to death before. All I could think of was the Shema, you know. I kept saying it over and over and over again like a mantra—Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. It saved my life. I would have lost my mind without it."
The guests started cramming into the wood-paneled living room with its parquet floor. Molly and I held up our kids to let them see what was happening. A hip, Reform-type rabbi was standing next to the new parents. I gaped when I saw Doreen. I had told Molly what a beauty she was, a princess of the Movement, and here was this plump, middle-aged woman.
Who would have thought that our generation would ever grow older? Doreen had always photographed so well: at the Oakland Induction Center, at People's Park in '69, or in Godard's movie, when he spread some of his $6-million budget among the fresh-faced revolutionary students shouting "Power to the People." In one scene of that film, Doreen, who came from Beverly Hills as I did, said, "I don't have to prove my revolutionary credentials to anyone." She looked lovely, like when she curled up to Paul and let her Chinese skirt crawl up to reveal a silky leg.
In the movie, as in real life, Paul's presence had always been the more impressive. He had been born political, and he possessed that first-born's assurance in whatever he said, smooth but thoughtful while others feared they would trip over their tongues or say something foolish.
Doreen's new husband made a different impression. A distorted, intelligent, snotty face, bumpy head, and glasses. He and Doreen were rambling on about how they had chosen their son's name—Adam.
Molly was put off by the spectacle. "A naming ceremony? Why can't they just celebrate a birth instead of holding all these people here? What's so interesting that they all look so rapt? Let's go."
Agnes nudged up to us. "Jeff is right up to here with Noam Chomsky—he's really very brilliant. And he's okay, although he's a bit too contemptuous of mere mortals."
Jeff had three Ph.D.'s from Harvard and Cal Tech in philosophy, physics, and political science. He was probably Bach on the piano, the best Channel swimmer in the world, and a genius of Kabbalah as well. He had written six books and his lectures at Berkeley were packed with admiring students.
As the ceremony droned on, the kids got restless, and we took them out to the front lawn. Doreen and Jeff took forty more minutes to explain how they had come to name their son Adam. The audience seemed to enjoy the presentation, which, I learned later, had to do with clay and earth and reflections of the Eve story and the color red. Finally, the hip rabbi mumbled a blessing and the ceremony ended with gentle laughter and applause.
Then Doreen, surrounded by an entourage of friends, brought gurgling Adam into the sun. When she saw me, she gave me a hug, shook hands with Molly and our children. A sloppy pregnant woman who looked in her ninth month joined us, and Doreen introduced her as Berkeley's leading midwife. Jeff came over to introduce himself. I told him we had come back to the States for a short stay to try to make some money, and that we were going back to Israel soon. A slight smile flashed across his broad face.
"The trouble with Israel," he said, "is that if you have to be Jewish to be a first-class citizen, how can you claim to be a democratic state?"
I figured such a brilliant person would run circles around me, so I got him to do the talking, asking him about their Jewish-consciousness group.
Jeff was pleased and explained how the "radical Havurah phenomenon" got started. "We're all on the Left. We were all active in the antiwar movement. We wanted to interpret what this Jewish revival thing is all about. What developed was this circle of about fifty people—including about fifteen Ph.D.'s and writers of twice as many books—singing together, lighting candles on Friday nights. Very few had real Jewish backgounds. I did. My grandfather was one of the leading Jewish intellectuals in Europe."
Jeff had been a member of the Labor Zionist youth organization Habonim, and had spoken on the same platform with Ben-Gurion in the 50's. "That's when I swallowed all the bullshit the Zionists feed you." But he had actually grown up in the Social Democratic world, in the Workmen's Circle. About one-third of his friends had similar pink- or red-diaper New York Jewish backgrounds.
"Anyway, we all had a sense of wanting to redo the ritual and to create new ceremonies, like the one we just had. What'd you think of it?"
"Oh, very nice," I said.
"So we learned more about the Jewish holy days and customs in order to create new rituals, followed by critical evaluations of Zionism, talks on Jewish socialism in America—but also talks on Cuba and other subjects as well."
Their group had listened to a couple who gave a presentation on traditions concerning Jewish births. Another talk was on death rituals, another on prayers, and another a sociopolitical analysis of Jewish organizations. Jeff said he himself had given talks on Harold Rosenberg's essay on creating a Jewish identity while retaining secular values, the prophet Amos on socialism, humanistic things like that. It was a cultural, not a religious, revival, he insisted.
They had added a "post-Reform rabbi" who said things like "You are the tradition." Doreen had planned the whole naming ceremony, Jeff continued, the rabbi was just a master of ceremonies. She picked the passages that were read, planted a symbolic tree in the yard, and bought twelve joss-sticks at the Indian head-shop on Telegraph Avenue to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. They had roughed it out over the issue of circumcision.
The question wasn't religious, Doreen claimed, the question was why circumcision? "It's clear it's not necessary," Doreen said. "It's not now debatable as far as health goes. So what you have is this surgical procedure that hurts, and that even has a small risk to it." She didn't want to hurt anyone, least of all an innocent baby.
"Without the health issue," Jeff interjected, "there are only social questions—an uncircumcised boy would have trouble with his peers. And he would be different from his father. That was the reason I wanted it."
Doreen was against it completely. But Jeff took his own advice, to "do what you feel comfortable with." So they reached a compromise. A doctor came over—a member of the Havurah—and he did a partial circumcision. The 50-percent solution. "I didn't feel I'd be breaking a law of God if I didn't have my son circumcised," Jeff snickered. "It wasn't a theological question at all."
In its first year, the radical Havurah avoided the subject of Israel entirely, fearing that it would destroy its budding effort. But Israel finally emerged as an issue. "Only it wasn't contentious, there are no outright anti-Israel people in our group," Jeff said. "Carol Berman over there set up a program getting Arabs and Jews on the Left together. A woman from the National Lawyers Guild talked about torture in Israel. A Saudi from the Quakers' Middle East project also spoke to our group. There's a lot of that. Basically, we're worldly, secular people interested in the spiritual aspects of Judaism, not in the religion. As Paul Tillich said, if you have ultimate concerns, you believe in God. We are traditional secularists—like we have our own Haggadah, including a passage by Eugene Debs."
Agnes walked over to us with a man who wore a shabby, soiled Greek sailor hat and introduced him to Molly and me as an old friend of Sidney's, Bill Zalman.
"Have you seen him?" Zalman asked me. "How is he?"
Zalman was a patriarch of the student movement, a founder of SDS. He looked sad and lovable, a forty-five-year-old man who had become a religious Jew in the late 1970's. "Bill's our only religious member," Doreen said, poking him playfully.
After talking about Sidney's suicide attempts and his struggles with Lithium, I asked why Bill was different from the others, why he had become a baal teshuvah, a penitent.
"I didn't have any religious tradition in my family," he said, focusing on my eyes. "My parents were New Dealers, very assimilated. And SDS, well, it's strange about SDS. There was never any talk at all about Jews in the organization in the 60's, even though about 40 percent of the members were Jews. It wasn't until a couple of years ago at an SDS reunion that we had any discussion about it. We even had a Jewish caucus—it was the first time in my experience that something like that was held in a larger, revolutionary movement. It seems that the interaction between the feminist movement and the Jewish movement is crucial for advancing the revolution. I never really thought about Israel until after the Yom Kippur War."
Molly and I both liked him. He looked like a victim of the times, a sweet and vulnerable and lonely man. The others seemed to be sanctimonious intellectuals who paid lip-service to Israel's right to exist. Bill spoke humbly, perhaps a little too humbly—a beaten-down monk among his Berkeley people, who seemed to feel sorry for him.
"We need a world organization of strugglers. Planetary comprehension of our situation. Every nation has a tradition moving toward that place. My roots are in Jerusalem or in Hebron or someplace—but my roots are also in America, in the radical, progressive human-rights movement. Every people has a right to its burying place. Abraham is the father of both Jews and Arabs. I'm looking for the combination between Jewishness and radical tradition so that I'm not fragmented. I consider myself enlisted in the army of the Jews."
Jeff winced. Doreen looked away. Agnes smiled. Doreen tried to redirect the conversation. "The things that are important to us now are the anti-nuclear campaign, health and welfare issues, Cuba. . . ."
Another SDS founder joined the circle on the lawn. Arni Zampolsky was a devout believer in Marx, part of the Marxist elite that by the 1970's had become a major force in American universities. He had entered the Jewish-consciousness group after overhearing his eight-year-old daughter tell another kid that her religion was "Scorpio." He was another of the "cultural Jews" and said he believed "in the need for a concrete ethnic culture for myself and my daughter in order to counter the rock-and-roll youth culture and TV commercials that surround her."
There was something reptilian in his movements. He exuded arrogance and self-righteousness. "It's a historical accident that I'm Jewish," he said. "I'm a Marxist. I certainly don't believe in 'my people first.' Israel isn't any more important to me than China, Cuba, Cambodia. Everyone in our group is pro-Palestinian. Our only differences are over the nature of the group itself, the relevancy of Jewishness."
Blotchy red Adam, who had been asleep, was gasping for breath, crying.
"The group's not at all monolithic," Doreen explained, pulling out her breast and bringing Adam to it. "There's lots of conflict. David Korn—he was a major force during the Free Speech Movement—well, he accuses us of being too secular, humanist. Politics remains very central to our concerns."
"We're not overly concerned about Soviet Jewry for one thing," Ami sniffed. "That's mainly an establishment Jewish concern. None of us are going to rush into the streets to demonstrate—everyone's quite sophisticated politically. It's a real Jewish, socialist, feminist group."
Jeff mentioned that I worked for a newspaper.
Ami's face immediately registered paranoia. A comic-book reaction: his eyes narrowed into red suspicious slits, his pupils darted back and forth. "You are not going to report on any of this. If I knew you worked for the media I never would have rapped to you."
He left abruptly, joining other guests, snarling and gesturing toward me. "Don't mind that," Jeff reassured me. "I mean, he's right, of course—none of this is to be written about, used by the media. We are not interested in attracting new members or anything. We're just a group of friends with mutual Jewish interests."
I thought they were right to be paranoid about what other friends might think, as well as their enemies—a radical Jewish cabal! Doreen, having comforted Adam, now, in a sense, offered her breast to me. "You remember what paranoia was like—Arni just doesn't know you. And we've been burned so often."
"There's a lot of conflict and pain among us," Bill said softly, "mostly over how important it is to be Jewish."
Jeff looked at him impatiently. "We're not political or religious Zionists for whom Israel is the ultimate expression. None of us is concerned with the goal of living in Israel."
"Except me," Bill said, smiling wryly.
We gave Agnes Brown a ride back to the city. She sat in the back seat between the children. Molly asked her what she thought of the naming ceremony, and the group as a whole.
"I'm not a part of it—you know what they say about converts. We're the most fanatical about the religion. I believe in Judaism, not just in Jewish traditions and cultural Jewishness. Doreen's an old dear friend, and I went to her ceremony to see her and Adam, not to take part in any of that jive. I knew most of these people in 1964, and now it's a generation later, you know what I mean?"
I said that I didn't relate to people who were so intent on only one aspect of being Jewish that they turned it into a cause—some people on the Left did that with their so-called Jewish culture.
Agnes said, "There's some superfine people, like Bill and Deborah Glass and Mike Sommers. Then there's some obnoxious people like Leo Jacobson—and by the way, he's not just concentrated on the culture. He advocates more religious content, more transcendental experience—and he's got supporters in the group. His big rival is Jeff, who wants to leave God out. I don't know how God could survive that. Jeff, like he told you, is focused on political, humanistic stuff, as they say in their jargon. And Leo, he's trying to 'reconnect with Torah.'"
"Snotty know-it-alls," said Molly. "Pompous Berkeley—I suppose they can intellectualize anything. They say they're not interested in Israel—that's fine. Nothing wrong with that. But then they turn around and say they're all pro-Palestinian and Israel is a fascist state. They seem to me just as blind as those Jews who support anything that Israel does. There's a real struggle in Israel. People aren't so removed from real life."
"I left Berkeley in '68 and didn't come back to the Bay Area for ten years because all the radical bullshit and racial tension got me down," Agnes said. "For a while I got drawn back in when SDS factioned out. But finally I just dropped out of everything, including my marriage. I went back home to Philadelphia. I have a nine-year-old boy, and when he was a toddler, I started thinking about Judaism in terms of my life and his life, and I studied everything I could about it, ethics and the laws and dealing with each other.
"I aways believed in God so that was no problem. Doreen was very supportive about my becoming a Jew. It was around that time that the Berkeley radicals started to become aware of the need for a spiritual life. None of us were Moonie types or People's Temple types. Judaism is constantly changing, and its values fit what we radicals believed in and talked about all these years."
She had gone the whole route, an Orthodox conversion. Most of her old Berkeley friends treated her like a freak. "You know, at the SDS reunion a few years ago we broke up into all these groups—but I couldn't bring myself to go to the Jewish caucus because of their narrow definitions—cultural and ethnic but not religious. By their definition, I'm not Jewish—it excludes me because I don't relate to Yiddishkeit. I'm a religious Jew. I'm not just eating latkes on Hanukkah or doing the hora. That's why I don't go to any of the secular minyans the group holds. I'm religious, so I'm not Jewish in their eyes. It bothers me because we have a lot in common. We got a history together."
One old friend, a magazine editor, hung up on her when she told him she had converted. Two hours later, he called back, saying, "Listen, I don't think you're crazy. But you've done something I've spent my entire adult life running away from."
"I told him, you know, our generation is older now. We got families. Our parents are dying, and all of a sudden, we need kaddish. The Left doesn't begin to deal with death. We got to build new bridges," Agnes said.
I mentioned something Sidney Kramer had written from an outpatient facility in Los Angeles, "Epistle to the Jewish Left." It said that although Jewish leftists should align themselves with Israelis who favor territorial compromise with the Palestinians, their most important work was at home.
Agnes shook her head: "Our generation was so alienated that we didn't even know about the Jewish community here—about everyday reality, taking care of old people. Now I think we should concentrate on our own people first, just like SNCC did. I know, baby, I been in both places."

Airfare to Europe - Going up, up, up?
I have been watching Expedia fares on a roundtrip for family of 5: O'Hare to Florence on July 28th, returning from Zurich to O'Hare on August 6. It's creeping up every day - now a hundred dollars more each ticket than when I started checking 6 weeks ago. Does anyone know of any sales? Should I just book it and forget it? Three years ago I was watching and suddenly, one day, it dropped hundreds per ticket and I booked on the spot. Maybe those days are over! Thanks!

Casa2G90 Base Size
From the dimension sheet for the Casa 90 oven, it shows that the oven kit is 40" wide and 46" deep, without an arch at the door. We're having a base built along with a fireplace and looking at the base being 48" wide, 60" deep, and 42" high. Does this sound right based on the kit size. This gives us a few inches on each side to finish the oven, most likely stucco or tile. The depth of 60" would give us about 6" for a small arch, was told the FB pre-made arch sold for this oven is 4" deep.
Thanks in advance for feedback, look forward to learning more through this forum.
Romney, WV
Re: Casa2G90 Base Size
I posted up very similar questions and havent gotten any replies....
I am going to call FB and confirm the specs of my Casa before I order. It is hard to tell how much add'l space you need over the precast dimensions for fiber blanket and then stucco or enclosure....I dont want to run out of space on my hearth....
Re: Casa2G90 Base Size
Thanks for the reply. I had missed it before I posted but there is a sticky at the top of this forum related to Hearth Size that has some good information. I didn't read it prior because I thought it was related to a Fireplace (I know, it's in the Pizza Oven forum so should have looked anyway, lol). From the info in that post, I decided that I need to make the base just a little bit larger than originally planned.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) October 09, 2013
The traditional value drivers of labor arbitrage, process efficiency, and standardization are unable to provide the next level of value in AO engagements, according to new research published by Everest Group.
Buyers are facing multiple challenges in their portfolios such as rapidly declining productivity, and service providers are unable to respond to these issues. As a result, the market is witnessing an increasing number of service providers losing their existing AO engagements.
The data are included in a new report issued by Everest Group, an advisory and research firm on global services. The report, Application Outsourcing (AO) Annual Report 2013 – Declining Productivity, Rising Anti-Incumbency, provides data on market size and share, buyer adoption trends across geography and industry, and key trends shaping the market.
Everest Group's annual research on application outsourcing provides fact-based perspectives on buyer adoption by geography, industry, and revenue size. It analyzes major trends that are shaping the applications market and the outlook for the next year. It also sizes the IT services market in terms of application outsourcing and consulting services.
Some key highlights:
Everest Group concludes that buyers will be willing to replace existing service providers with newer ones. The tendency to experiment will increase and service providers will respond with different incentives. Buyers will increase their focus on extracting more productivity in their application portfolios. This will not be limited to service providers but will also include their internal operations (e.g., global in-house centers). Next-generation technologies (cloud computing, mobility, and analytics) will witness further demand, but "bread and butter" capabilities will still comprise the core criteria for service provider evaluation.
"The transformation taking place in application outsourcing is a direct result of buyers pushing their incumbent providers to drive up productivity and deploy next-generation technologies," said Jimit Arora, vice president at Everest Group who leads the report team. "A shift in buying centers is a part of this change, and we're already seeing, service providers investing in targeting the "non-CIO" buying centers to offer next-generation services. Moreover, they will increase efforts to retain strategic clients by offering better commercial constructs."
The research covers AO adoption trends, demand drivers, next-generation services such as mobility, analytics, and cloud. The research analyzes buyer challenges, trends shaping the market, and also provides an outlook for 2014 for the broader IT as well as AO market, including deal trends (new vs. renewals), deal size and duration, scope of services (e.g., application development, maintenance, and consulting), pricing trends, and delivery locations.

Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg; Gollancz, pp 352, Pounds sterling 13.95
THE ESSENCE of science fiction is suspension of disbelief. Readers are not supposed to notice that the Ringworld is unstable, that the sandworms of Dune are a biological impossibility, or that there is no evolutionary advantage for Thread in laying waste to every living thing on Pern; certainly not until long after the story has been read and enjoyed.
The original Nightfall, written by Isaac Asimov and published in Astounding in 1941, has suspended its readers' disbelief so effectively that it has topped more than one poll as the best SF short story of all time. Now Asimov and Robert Silverberg have expanded it into a novel. Hubris often begets nemesis; expanded timescales can leave the reader with an uncomfortably long period in which to ponder the tale's internal logic. The temptation to look, 50 years on, ...

Hey Local Bands …
By Tony Hicks
Monday, January 7th, 2008 at 5:45 pm in Uncategorized.
My local music column, "Riffage," is returning next week to our Thursday section. They're making me … er, uh … I mean, I'm excited at the opportunity to get back out and hear some energizing local music.
No, I really am. Local bands/musicians should send press kits and CDs to me at … let me check my card here … right: 2640 Shadelands Drive, Walnut Creek, 94598. I've helped thousands of Bay Area bands get HUGE record deals. You could be next. Honest.

Moeraki Boulders
You simply can't drive along the North Otago coast without stopping to stare at the Moeraki Boulders - they're amazing!
1 / 4
According to Maori legend, the boulders are gourds washed ashore from the great voyaging canoe Araiteuru when it was wrecked upon landfall in New Zealand hundreds of years ago.
Scientists explain the boulders as calcite concretions formed about 65 million years ago. Crystallization of calcium and carbonates around charged particles gradually formed the boulders in a pearl-like process that took as long as four million years. The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the seabed around 15 million years ago; waves, wind and rain are excavating them one by one.
The viewing platform, just a few minutes walk through regenerating native forest, offers an excellent view of the boulders. If you're lucky, you might also see Hector's dolphins playing in the waves.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
i came across an article 'low latency in the linux kernel' written for
o'reilly's website. here's a quote i find curious:
under certain circumstance, it may be possible to run an application
in a condition known as setuid root. as the name implies, this
condition sets the user's ID to root status, raising the application's
execution to real-time scheduling.
this is NOT my understanding of setuid root executables. if this were the
case, nice-ing a setuid executable would be meaningless since the application
would get the attention of the kernel whenever it wants attention.
also, there would be no need for 'real time linux' since running an app as
setuid root would imply real time scheduling.
any comments? am i not understanding this quote properly?

Pakistani security personnel inspect the site of explosion in Pakistani tribal area of Khyber near Peshawar, Pakistan on Tuesday, Jan 10, 2012. (AP Photo/Mohammad Sajjad)
PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Fifteen militants and one soldier were killed on Thursday when the Pakistani military mounted another operation in a week of fighting designed to seize control of a remote but strategic valley in the northwest, the army said.
The military has faced fierce resistance from the Taliban and its allies in the Tirah Valley in the Khyber region since troops set out to dislodge insurgents from strategically important heights above the valley six days ago.
Pakistani military officials say insurgents use the valley as a base camp that enables them to carry out raids in other semi-autonomous tribal areas near the Afghan border.
"Fresh clashes started early Thursday when the security forces launched another operation to secure control of the valley," said a military official in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, adding that 15 militants and a soldier had been killed.
On Tuesday, the military said 23 Pakistani soldiers and 110 militants had been killed in four days of fierce fighting in the area.
Since 2009, the Pakistani military and pro-government militias have clawed back territory from the Taliban, who once controlled land a few hours' drive from the capital, Islamabad.
However, a series of army offensives have failed to break the back of the Taliban, which is close to al Qaeda and is blamed for many of the suicide bombings across nuclear-armed Pakistan, a strategic U.S. ally.

Changing Florida's Property Tax Structure
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Thursday) | Listen to this entire show:
This afternoon we heard two sides in the debate over Amendment One, which will be on the Jan. 29th ballot.
The amendment, if passed, would increase the homestead exemption, provide up to $500,000 in portability of Save Our Homes tax savings, give a tax break to small businesses and limit annual tax increases on non-homestead property to 10 percent.
We heard reports from WMNF's Sean Kinane and Reif Russell Anderson on debates held this week in Tampa and Largo regarding Amendment One. Then we opened the phone lines to get listener's opinions on the issue.comments powered by Disqus

for our families
Jul 14, 2013
This feels raw. What grief to carry, what an impossible weight. The blatancy of it, innocence has such an ugly sheen to it. Nearly half a century ago, James Baldwin writes The law is meant to be my servant and not my master, still less my torturer and my murderer. Justice is not a sentence, it is an instinct, cultivated. How do we find ourselves here again and again and again, how do we get somewhere else, how do we make it to there, how do we realise it. How do we love in these times, when the simplicity of our being and our being with each other is hedged in on all sides with a deathly violence — not just the issue of our living, but specifically of our loving: how do we love through the fear of our loved ones dying on pavement, in small rooms, in front of our keening eyes, far from our pleading skin, their bodies whole, or veins torn to surface. How do we love through the threat of it, the knowledge that it is our loving that keeps us most vulnerable. It's not ultimately that you fear for yourself — you live, and then you die, and there's the peace you were looking for, in being beyond physical sensation — but it's fear for the ones you love, fearing for the possibility of your outliving them, carrying them as memory and reproof and blinding ache. How is it that my love for my family is so clearly demarcated by the constrictions of my heart when I think of all the ways that we are none of us so far removed from each other in dangers that we skirt, knowingly or unknowingly, everyday. Could love not be the sweeter, the gentler, the freer thing. Blood on the leaves, blood at the root. And after all, there are still different stories, different endings for our different histories.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release
Start Date" field.
DEARBORN - @Ford recently interviewed Raj Nair, group vice president, Global Product Development regarding the fix in the voluntary safety recall of the 2013 Escapes and 2013 Fusions with 1.6-liter engines.
Q. What is today's announcement?A. Today, we announced corrective action to address potential engine overheating that could result in engine fires in 2013 Ford Escape and Ford Fusion models equipped with 1.6-liter engines. The vehicles were subjects of a voluntary safety recall announced Nov. 30, 2012.
We are making updates to the cooling system software to better manage engine temperatures during a unique overheating condition. The original cooling system design was not able to address a loss of coolant system pressure under certain operating conditions. The new software will resolve this issue.
The software update fix is to approximately 73,500 2013 model year Escapes and 15,800 2013 model year Fusions equipped with the 1.6-liter engine.
Q. Why did it take more than a full week to find out what was wrong and to find a fix? A. We took the time that was necessary to conduct a detailed engineering analysis to find the root cause and to find and validate the remedy. The timing of the remedy was fully dependent on conducting the proper analysis and fully validating the solution. We recalled the vehicles before having the fix identify because it was in the best interest of our customers.
Q. Is this the same issue as earlier this year when we recalled 2013 Escapes for potential fires?A. The prior recalls addressed specific root causes that are not related to this recall. We are making updates to the cooling system software to better manage engine temperatures during this unique condition. Our software was not robust to a loss of coolant system pressure under certain operating conditions. The new software will resolve this issue.
Q. Are these changes you made to fix the issue in North America going to be implemented in the 1.6 liter engines in Europe?A. No. We conducted a thorough investigation in Europe with the 1.6-liter engine and have determined there is no similar issue in Europe and no need for a recall.
Q. Do EcoBoost engines run hotter than non turbo charged engines. Is this a problem with all EcoBoost engines?A. No. All internal combustion engines have components that run hot. This cooling issue is unique to the North American 1.6-liter engine. Our data shows that the European 1.6-liter and our other EcoBoost engines are not affected.
Q. Are we concerned about multiple recalls?A. Our focus is on providing the highest-quality vehicles to our customers and responding quickly when we identify potential issues. The recalls are part of our process and our commitment to quality and to customers.

Into the Wild
Review By: Michael Dance
In 1990, when Christopher McCandless was twenty-two years old, he graduated from college, gave away his $24,000 in life savings to charity, burned everything in his wallet, and disappeared without telling his family. He hitchhiked from the east coast to South Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, and California under the name Alex Supertramp, occasionally taking jobs and falling in with people before inevitably disappearing again. In 1992, he was found dead from starvation inside an abandon bus near the Stampede Trail in Alaska.
The story is uncannily fascinating, and whatever your views on McCandless "" saintly, idiotic, inspiring, pathetic "" it sure makes for an amazing adventure. Jon Krakauer told McCandless's story in the 1996 book Into the Wild, which Sean Penn read and immediately fell in love with. He went after the movie rights, but it took the better part of a decade for McCandless's parents to make up their minds. They finally gave the go-ahead, Penn made the movie, and now Into the Wild is here, and it's incredible.
Those of us weary of Penn's image as a prominent Hollywood liberal needn't worry "" he doesn't appear in the film and proves himself as a strong director, shooting on location throughout the country, and the only politics you see are when George Bush Sr. appears on a TV in the background to remind us we're in the early '90s.
We start out at McCandless's college graduation, and the early scenes with his stiff, wealthy parents, played by William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden, are muted and stifling. (Their portrayal is unflattering to put it mildly, and it's frankly impressive that they ever let the film get made.) Once McCandless breaks free, however, the color palette expands, the music starts rocking, and the film rides a wave of pure energy that never lets up. Even Penn's direction, however, is only support for the central beacon of the movie, Emile Hirsch.
It's a brilliant central performance. Hirsch simply lights up the screen and never burns out. Playing McCandless as he apparently was in real life "" wild-eyed, simple-minded, and self-absorbed, but with an eagerness that was impossible not to be swept up in "" he carries the film so tirelessly, it's as though he's always one step ahead of everyone on the crew. This is a film that required its star to be in nearly every scene, kayak through rapids, hike through every manner of wilderness, and literally starve himself, and Hirsch throws himself into everything with an excited smile. In a sense, he really does become McCandless for this role.
The screenplay, by Penn himself, is structured in a kind of ingenious way, equating the steps of McCandless's journey with the progression of life. It's split into five "chapters"Â "" Adolescence, Adulthood, etc. "" that succeeds in showing us how McCandless lived a very full life in only two years. The story ends in death, everyone knows, it, and somehow it manages to be uplifting.
McCandless of course encounters many people during his journeys, and they're often played by familiar faces. At 140 minutes, the film might have benefited from shaving ten to fifteen minutes off its running time, but its rare you get this many characters who all feel like flesh-and-blood people, even in truth-based stories. Vince Vaughn shows up in a more down-to-earth, world-weary version of his usual persona. A hippie played by Catherine Keener becomes a kind of surrogate mother. Kristen Stewart plays a lonely teenager. The most emotional of these roles is played superbly by Hal Holbrook; playing a lonely old man, it is here that the movie most resembles a tragedy, as McCandless finds a truly loving guardian figure, and a deeper spiritual understanding of things, but refuses to give up on his ill-fated trip to Alaska.
Why did McCandless abandon every relationship he formed to go to Alaska, where he would, through unpreparedness and inexperience, starve to death? The same quality that makes him such a charming figure is also what makes him so infuriating: an immature, irrepressible sense of wanderlust. It's a paradox that exists without a solution. He never once talked to his family after leaving them, even his sister Carine (played by Jena Malone, who occasionally narrates some family backstory), with whom he was quite close. And yet he's also an inspiring figure, a guy who really did live life to the fullest but became a victim of the motivation that had otherwise served him so well.
I guess it boils down to this: over the summer, I read Jack Kerouac's On the Road for the first time. Expecting to find myself imbued with the need to immediately take a road trip, I instead read the book as simply a curiosity, an outdated portrayal of vaguely unlikable characters with fuzzy goals and no motivations. Watching Into the Wild, I was fully aware of McCandless's flaws but nonetheless felt a burning desire to sleep in the wild under the stars. This is a great film.
Movie Grade: A
"Into the Wild" is based on a true story and the bestselling book by Jon Krakauer. After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless (Hirsch) abandons his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

Facts About 1960s
Posted In: History.
The 1960's was a time of change in various levels. The war in Vietnam, Kennedy being assassinated, civil rights movement and Kent State shooting all figured prominently during this era. Different styles of music were popular such as acid rock and folk for example. The famous Woodstock concert also happened in this era. The Space Race was on and we landed a man on the moon. If you are interested in learning more about the 1960′s, then take a look at these interesting facts.

The Royal Albert Hall presents:
West Side Story
• 50th anniversary celebration of the release of the classic film
• The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra conducted by Jayce Ogren accompanies screening of the film
• The European premiere of this unique event
• Royal Albert Hall - Friday 22- Sunday 24 June 2012
Fifty years after its release, the MGM re-mastered film returns to the big screen in high definition with its original vocals and dialog intact. Experience this classic romantic tragedy and the bitter battle between the Jets and the Sharks as Leonard Bernstein's seminal score, featuring the much loved 'America', 'Somewhere' and 'Tonight', is dramatically brought to life on stage by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra conducted by Jayce Ogren.
Directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, West Side Story features Robbins' breathtaking choreography, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a screenplay by Ernest Lehman based on the masterful book by Arthur Laurents. Still one of the most acclaimed films, West Side Story was the winner of ten Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Music. It remains one of the one of the greatest achievements in the history of movie musicals.
Jasper Hope, Chief Operating Officer at the Royal Albert Hall, said: 'West Side Story is an iconic film musical known and loved the world over and the Hall offers these live orchestral performances as part of the world-wide celebrations of the film's 50th anniversary. Half a century after its release, West Side Story is still regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made. These exclusive anniversary screenings, accompanied for the first time ever in Europe by the live performance of one of the greatest scores ever composed, will introduce this timeless classic to an entirely new generation'.
Paul Epstein, Executive Vice President of The Leonard Bernstein Office, said: 'The brilliance and crispness of the brand new Blu-Ray print, together with the visceral excitement brought by a full orchestra of over 85 musicians, right there in the Hall with you, will make this experience of West Side Story one that you will never forget'.
Jayce Ogren is rapidly developing a reputation as one of the finest young conductors to emerge from America equally at home in both symphonic and operatic repertoire. In recent seasons, he has conducted the BBC Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, New World Symphony and the Grand Rapids Symphony. On the opera stage, Ogren made his Canadian Opera Company debut with Stravinsky's The Nightingale & Other Short Fables. Following an invitation from New York City Opera to conduct a staged production of Mozart's Magic Flute, he was subsequently re-invited last season for a critically acclaimed new production of Bernstein's A Quiet Place.
This season, Ogren will make his debut throughout Europe and the States with the Copenhagen Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Napa Valley Symphony and Berkeley Symphony. Ogren's critically acclaimed performances with New York City Opera have led to another re-invitation and he will return to the New York City Opera to conduct performances of Rufus Wainwright's opera Prima Donna.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (RPCO) has delighted audiences worldwide with its versatile programming, having been in constant demand for live performances and recordings of classical, light classical and popular music since its formation in 1987. The RPCO has an excellent reputation for working with internationally-renowned artists ranging from opera luminaries Andrea Bocelli, José Carreras, Lesley Garrett, Bryn Terfel, Renée Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and Luciano Pavarotti to popular culture icons Burt Bacharach, Tina Turner, George Benson, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Liza Minnelli, Randy Newman, Sir Cliff Richard and Stevie Wonder.
West Side Story is the latest film to be presented with a live orchestra as part of a unique cinematic experience at the Royal Albert Hall. It follows the successful sold out performances of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the upcoming The Matrix this October.

Bay of Pigs–nothing new under the sun
Every couple of years, for the past 40 or so, more stuff on the Bay of Pigs gets breathlessly "declassified!" blah...blah..blah generating more books and articles and symposiums...blah...blah...blah by "scholars" and "experts."
As a professional duty I've read all of it--and you know what?
Every Cuban in the U.S. knew all this stuff in 1961--at least by 1962 when the Bay of Pigs prisoners came back and our famous radio bemba cranked up. There's really nothing new under the sun. The canceled air strikes doomed the invasion. The decision was JFK's. Period. End of story. Kennedy and his cabinet and advisors were all typical Ivy League liberals ashamed of "cowboy" or "gunboat" diplomacy. Period. End of story.
There's really nothing to add to Eddie Ferrer's Operation Puma (1974)--or even to Mario Lazo's Dagger in the Heart. (1968.) The essentials were all there...Y PAL CARAJO!
But given that both Ferrer and Lazo were anti-communist Cubans (Lazo was also a U.S. citizen) their books (naturally) never got the traction they deserved in "scholarly" circles. If you're interested in the nitty-gritty spare yourselves all the trouble and all the "scholarly" mumbo-jumbo and read those two books, along with Grayston Lynch's Decision to Disaster. It's all there...Y PAL CARAJO!

You don't have to be gullible to believe Richard Dawkins's explanation of the development of the eye if you understand that this explanation is a hypothesis which is open to experimental verification. If evidence is brought forward to disprove this hypothesis, then it will be modified or may be rejected.
This is the big difference between scientists and creationists. Scientists believe they can advance knowledge by creating models from which they extract hypotheses which can be tested by experiment. Creationists believe that if reason is not anchored in the truths of scripture it fails to be truly objective.
The fact that evolution has occurred is accepted by Bradbury, as it is accepted by most others. It has moved beyond the level of hypothesis. How evolution has occurred is still in the hypothesis stage. We seem to have some strong hypotheses here, but the necessary evidence is ...
