São Paulo
Restaurants in São Paulo
Though the pleasant exposed brick and liberal use of Brazilian woods clash with the awful banquet chairs, this business steak house is the classiest dining spot at Guarulhos.
A required stop for foodies (and big-name chefs from Alain Ducasse to Ferran Adrià), D.O.M. serves a tasting menu by pioneering chef Alex Atala that showcases Brazilian flavors.
Chef Edinho Engel started the Cambury dining revolution 18 years ago when he opened the restaurant in the rain forest at the end of a 50-foot boardwalk.
In addition to its quality beer, this Rio microbrewery serves traditional Brazilian dishes like picanha (roughly though inaccurately translated as rump steak) and croquettes stuffed with sun-dried beef and yucca with India Pale Ale. The only downside?
Head to Emporio de Serra tavern atop the Cantareira, overlooking São Paulo's skyscrapers, to savor Brazil's national cocktail, the caipirinha, made of lime juice, sugar, and cachaça (distilled from sugarcane).

The Democratic Fallout: It's down to Clinton vs. Brown
By Jay Rogers
Published April 1, 1992
In last month's issue of The Forerunner, we introduced "A Series on the Presidential Candidates." In this month's issue, we had planned to cover at least three of the Democratic Party's offerings for the presidential nominee. But oh, how seasons change!
In just one month every viable Democratic challenger to Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton has dropped out of the race. In a series of primaries more resembling a demolition derby than an electoral process, every one of the Democrats have been bested by Clinton; everyone, that is, except former California Governor Jerry Brown, who maintains that he will keep Clinton from the nomination. Also, Paul Tsongas, who mysteriously left the race before an almost guaranteed victory in Connecticut, has hinted that he may reenter the race depending how he does in future primaries.
No one knows for sure exactly why Clinton seems to have lost momentum after having demolished virtually every contender. At press time, the Tsongas' vote seems to have swung in favor of the ultra-liberal Brown, rather than who would be the former Massachusetts Senator's preference: the more moderate Clinton. This indicates that the pro-Tsongas vote may have been due to an anti-Clinton sentiment among Democrats. There is a "Draft Tsongas" movement within the Democratic Party that may keep delegates away from Clinton that are crucial to his nomination.
No political commentator seems to know exactly what to make of Brown's candidacy. Every joke imaginable has been lobbed in his direction in an attempt to ridicule his quixotical image as he lunges toward the Democratic convention. Yet Brown seems destined to make a showing delegates intact. It may be that the combined showing of Brown and Tsongas could delay Clinton from the nomination long enough for mounting charges against his character to undermine his candidacy. If this scenario (although unlikely) were to happen, the Democratic convention could become a chaotic free-for-all with still more candidates entering and reentering the contest.
Meanwhile, George Bush continues to win against Pat Buchanan in every contest. Buchanan's unexpectedly strong showing will undoubtedly work in favor of maintaining a solidly conservative platform at the Republican convention. Barring some history making fluke in the electoral college process, The Forerunner predicts that George Bush will win the November 10 election and will remain our President for four more years. A third party candidacy, however, could tilt the electoral college toward another candidate, Democrat or otherwise.
Despite anger among the electorate and a strong protest vote in the primaries, President Bush is still the safest bet for conservative and Christian voters. Being the most electable candidate, however, should not give George Bush automatic approval over the other candidates. Intelligent and concerned voters should not ignore the moral strengths and weaknesses of the other candidates, and should at least seriously scrutinize them. Therefore, we will continue to examine the candidates in contention, Democratic, Republican and Independent, until the November election.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

The United States of America 2.0: The Great Reset (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 40 pages of dynamite!
Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification
In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.
By the 21st century, we need a "Puritan Storm" to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is "God walking on earth." We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex "marriage." This booklet gives a primer on our founders' Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!

Laverne Cox the first transgender person on Time cover
Thanks @TIME for this lovely bday present, a cover story 2 highlight the profound issues trans people face everyday. pic.twitter.com/kZpNQcbued
— Laverne Cox (@Lavernecox) May 29, 2014
"Orange is the New Black" star Laverne Cox has become the first transgender person to land the cover of Time magazine, a month after fans protested her omission from the publication's annual list of 100 Most Influential People.
The actress graces the front of the magazine's upcoming issue for a cover story titled The Transgender Tipping Point, in which Cox is interviewed about her personal journey as well as her fight for transgender rights.
But just last month, editors revealed the list of the top 100 people making an impact on the world, and Cox did not make the list, despite fans voting for her inclusion en masse.
Many readers were outraged, and campaigned for her to be added to the issue.
Editors at Time had no comment on the matter, but Cox took to Twitter to show her gratitude for the groundswell of support, saying "Your love and support means so much more to me than making the list."
But now that the breakout star has landed her very own issue, Cox took to her Facebook page on Thursday to give her thanks yet again, and noted how groundbreaking the cover story is in terms of transgender rights history.
She wrote, "What a wonderful bday (birthday) present! Yes today is my birthday and I am on the cover of @TIME magazine. I realize this is way bigger than me and about a tipping point in our nation's history where it is no longer acceptable for trans lives to be stigmatized, ridiculed, criminalized and disregarded.
"This is for my trans siblings out there and for anyone who has ever been told that who you know yourself to be at your core is not legitimate. You are who you know yourselves to be."
Laverne Cox to produce transgender documentary
"Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox is set to produce a documentary about transgender youths.
The transgender actress has teamed up with TV bosses at MTV and Logo to develop "Trans Teen: The Documentary."
The project will center on four transgender youths, ranging in age from 14 to 24, and their struggles with intolerance and bullying and their medical, psychological and social hurdles.
Cox has spoken in the past about the bullying she endured growing up in Alabama, revealing she has awful and painful memories of her childhood.

Posted Apr 1 2011 7:46PM
NEW YORK, April 1, 2011 -- The Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose and the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant today were named the Kia NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month, respectively, for games played during March.
Rose helped the Eastern Conference-leading Bulls to a 13-3 record in March, a month in which he tallied career highs in points (42 vs. Indiana on March 18) and assists (17 vs. Milwaukee on March 26). Rose, who is the only player in the NBA to rank in the top 10 in both points (25.0 ppg, 7th) and assists (7.9 apg, 10th), also set career highs in three-pointers made (six vs. Atlanta on March 22) and free throws made and free throws attempted (18-21 vs. Indiana on March 18).
Bryant averaged 25.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists, leading the Lakers to a 12-1 record on the month, bringing them within 2 ½ games of San Antonio for first place in the Western Conference. Bryant achieved several milestones in March, moving ahead of Moses Malone for sixth on the NBA's all-time scoring list during a 26-point performance in a win at Atlanta on March 8, and passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the Lakers' all-time leader in games played in a win over New Orleans on March 27. Bryant also tallied a season-high 42 points, to go along with 12 rebounds and nine assists in a win over Phoenix on March 22.
Here is a closer look at the month for Rose and Bryant:
March 11 vs. Atlanta: Tallied 34 points, six assists and five rebounds in a 94-76 victory.
March 18 @ Indiana: Set career highs in points (42), and free throws made and attempted (18-21) in a 115-108 overtime loss.
March 22 @ Atlanta: Notched 30 points and 10 assists in a 114-81 win.
March 26 @ Milwaukee: Scored 30 points with a career-high 17 assists in a 95-87 win.
March 6 @ San Antonio: Logged 26 points, seven rebounds and five assists in a 99-83 win.
March 22 vs. Phoenix: Had a season-high 42 points and 12 rebounds in a 139-137 triple-overtime victory.
March 25 vs. Clippers: Tallied 37 points, four rebounds and six assists in a 112-104 win.
March 31 vs. Dallas: Scored 28 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists in a 110-82 victory.
Other nominees for Kia NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month were Houston's Kyle Lowry, Miami's Chris Bosh, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, New Jersey's Kris Humphries, Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, Orlando's Dwight Howard, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala and Sacramento's Marcus Thornton.
The Kia NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month are part of a series of on-court performance awards called "The Kia NBA Performance Awards." The series, currently in its fourth season, is part of a multiyear marketing partnership between Kia Motors America and the NBA, and includes four of the league's most prestigious year-end honors: Most Valuable Player Award, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man Award, and Most Improved Player. Kia Motors is the Official Automotive Partner of the NBA and the all-new Kia Optima is the league's Official Vehicle.

As I near the end of my six months working here, it seems that the time since I started last January has vanished all too quickly. The maze of shelves, stacks, hidden corridors and collections that the UL and the Pendlebury have made all so familiar will, at the end of the month, be another memory. Now, as my role as one small cog in the enormous machine of the university comes to an end, I begin again to reflect on my time here in Cambridge and look toward my own future as an undergraduate and reader rather than a fetcher (the other side of the issue desk!).

Fla. officer involved in two shootings in four days
By Rich Phillips
MIAMI, FLa. — On the grainy, silent black and white video, it's hard to tell exactly what happened the night of June 14 in Miami Beach. But one thing is certain: A tourist, Husien Shehada, can be seen falling to the ground, shot by a police officer. Shehada, 29, later died.
Four nights later, again in Miami Beach, Lawrence McCoy allegedly pistol-whipped a cab driver and led police on a chase. Police say shots were exchanged. McCoy, also 29, was killed.

Despite these major grievances that cowardly gaming journalists tend to gloss over in fear that they may someday lose access to advance review copies and exclusive previews, Grand Theft Auto IV excels in the only area that matters to this web site, being an asshole. I visited Liberty City and during the course of my visit I did anything possible to ruin someone's day. This is my story.
Because our readers deserve the best and because my old capture card doesn't work anymore, the included videos were recorded directly off a CRT television complete with scan lines which were then fed into YouTube's patented "Turn Your Videos Into A Muddy Mess" filter.
If you go to each video's page you can switch to a high quality version so you can somewhat understand what is going on in the videos. Yes, I am aware the quality sucks so please feel free to email me about it and call me a dumb asshole over and over again.
After settling into Liberty City my cousin Roman called me (as he will 500 times during the course of this damn game) and asked if I wanted to hang out. "Sure!", I said and proceeded to go pick him up because hanging out with your fictional video game cousin is the closest some of us will get to human interaction.
There is an pastime in the old country called Act Like An Asshole To Everyone that people enjoy playing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Eastern Europeans express their love for their families by speeding up when they reach for the car door. Then they slow down and make them think they are going to be able to get into the car, but speed up again! They do this repeatedly until someone is dead.
Today was no different. For six hours I let Roman think he was going to get into the car until he had a heart attack and died. Ah, I think I'm going to like this country.
Feeling homesick I decided to seek out one of my comrades in this ethnically diverse city of Liberty. When I found another Russian guy, who I knew was Russian because he had that stupid hat on, I decided to greet him in the customary Eastern European tradition of shoving him to the ground. Unfortunately his umbrella popped out of his hand in the process. I apologized in the only way a Eastern European man knows how to, by shoving him to the ground a second time.
Inadvertently punching him in the face seemed to cross a line that shoving him over and over again never would and he decided to fight back. An old-fashioned New York-style sidewalk shoving match ensued. It was then that the police showed up and arrested him for ruining my fun.
I thanked the policemen who wore magical disappearing hats for helping me. After watching Ricky Gervais at the local comedy club I figured these cops could use a little laugh, and pulling a gun on an officer of the law couldn't be any more painful than Gervais' act.
They didn't realize it was just a friendly joke and responded by drawing their own firearms. I tried to get them to understand it was all just a misunderstanding by waving a knife in their faces. Unfortunately these Liberty City cops had no sense of humor and one decided to shoot me dead while his partner somersaulted into the car door for some reason.

1. Remarks of Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate before the 3G Americas Wireless Broadband Technology Briefing September 18th, 2008 Thank you, Kris, and the entire 3G Americas board, for the invitation to speak with you today. I appreciate this opportunity to share my thoughts with you on our respective roles in this new, exciting "Broadband Age." Broadband deployment is a top policy goal of the White House, Congress, the FCC, and this Commissioner. Making broadband deployment a reality for all Americans requires the best efforts of government and industry. First, those of us who are policy makers have a responsibility to get the rules right, then get out of the way. Additionally, industry has the challenge of deploying the technology, service, speed, and quality – not that government mandates, but that the market and consumers demand. 3G Americas and the GSM service providers – both in the U.S. and abroad – have played a critical role in advancing wireless communications for many years, and you now play an equally important role in advancing broadband. Indeed, wireless services made up 35 percent of the 100 million high-speed connections in the U.S. last year, and were the fastest-growing means of broadband access, having increased 50 percent from a year earlier.
What is particularly noteworthy in these numbers is the fact that, while wireless is increasingly important as a means of broadband access, most wireless connections have yet to include broadband access. With approximately 260 million wireless subscribers in the U.S., if only a third of these subscribers have broadband on their mobile phones, there is a huge market yet to be tapped, with the potential for explosive growth. And in these uncertain economic times, this is even better news. Then there's the global market. There are over 3.3 billion wireless subscribers across the world, with about 300 million subscribers in India and 600 million in China. The device manufacturers and providers that use GSM technology, such as 3G America's members, have the lion's share of those subscribers, with 3 billion users, while growing at the rate of 1,000 subscribers per minute. To many of these subscribers, the mobile phone is a critical – often the only – source of communications. Only a couple of years ago it was common to cite a study by Professor Robert Jensen of Harvard University, who showed how fishermen in India were using their cell phones to call into ports after a catch. The information conveyed by a simple phone call does more than help markets work much more efficiently. More important to these fishermen, it helps them find which markets have the highest demand for their fish and thus significantly raise their incomes. More recently, villagers in poor regions of Africa use cell phones to send text messages and engage in mobile banking – not Wall Street-level banking but simple transactions like paying for food or a taxi ride, much like we use debit cards today. 2
With all of these transactions happening without a broadband connection, just think of the possibilities when even more capability is placed – literally – in the hands of consumers! Why Broadband Matters Why does broadband deployment matter? As the examples from fishermen to farmers, financial institutions to healthcare show, the potential economic effects from this connectivity are exponential in impact. And broadband takes communications to the next level, raising productivity of workers at the office, on the road, and telecommuting from home. Even if we looked only at the economic effects, the phenomenal gains from further broadband deployment would be enough to get our attention. A recent study by Connected Nation estimated that increased availability of broadband across the U.S. would have a positive economic impact of $134 billion. But of course, this is about more than just numbers and revenue. A broadband connection to the World Wide Web literally is a lifeline to our very wide world. With the click of a mouse, our children can go on an educational adventure – to the Louvre or the Library of Congress, on an exploration of the Great Barrier Reef or the Great Wall of China, or take AP courses never before offered. Adults can attend class at a university across the nation while holding a job across town. They can also participate in local civic affairs or even get involved in politics at the national level. Even polling has gone "txt". In just one presidential cycle, Internet advertising has gone from essentially zero to estimates that it will exceed $100 3
million in 2008. In addition, families can get better access to healthcare, such as teledentistry, telepsychiatry and even telesurgery. Telecommuting for doctors makes the physical distance between provider and patient immaterial, and this ability to shrink distances that isolate our most remote communities makes broadband particularly critical in rural areas. I have had the opportunity to see first hand – from Alaska to Appalachia to Africa – how broadband communications enables this kind of empowerment for those who are most physically isolated. And in many cases, wireless services will be the means to provide these broadband connections. In short, broadband revolutionizes how we communicate, how, where and when we work, how we educate our children, the delivery of healthcare and public safety, as well as how we entertain ourselves. My Regulatory Philosophy What, then, is the role of government in promoting broadband? I approach this issue, as I do all policy issues, with an overall philosophy. I look in amazement at the new technologies forward every day, as well as the innovations we make use of existing technologies, and I am humbled by the awesome power of the human spirit to innovate, create, and improve our lives. And I recognize that nowhere is this creative power more evident than in telecommunications and in this nation. As I consider the proper role of regulatory policy in such an innovative world, I am reminded of a simple fact. We will not know – and cannot know – where the market will take us next. And when they try to predict the future, the experts 4
often get it wrong. A generation ago, who would have expected that a device the size of a pack of playing cards could hold more processing capability than the Apollo spacecraft, that this device could be taken almost anywhere, and that it could provide mobile telephony, Internet access, and even television? We should welcome these advances in technology and changes in the market. They are reminders that, in today's world, change is the only constant. This often means that old technologies get left behind. The Polaroid camera is seldom used, and the silent movie has already faded into history, along with the buggy whip. This is all part of what the economist Joseph Schumpeter called "creative destruction" – destroying entrenched business models and technologies through innovative vehicles to create value, whether in goods or services, for consumers. This process is commonplace in your industry. The analog cell phone is ceding to digital technology: speaking of digital—I hope everyone is prepared for the DTV transfer on February 17, 2009! If not, go to www.dtv2009.gov for information on coupons and converter boxes. CDMA and GSM are evolving to LTE. And while GSM and LTE currently dominate the worldwide mobile industry – for which congratulations is in order – I do not believe the Federal Communications Commission or any other policymaking body should place its thumb on the scale to influence or dictate the next technology that will be adopted in the marketplace. Other technologies, like WiMax, will also compete vigorously. And as you all try to 5
be the technology and providers of choice by offering the best products and service in the marketplace, it is the consumer who will benefit. It is in the face of such an ever-changing and always-innovating world that I have developed my regulatory philosophy, which calls for, first and foremost, regulatory humility. This is something I have tried to practice, both as a state regulator and now a federal one. I look to and especially encourage the industry to put forward market-based solutions whenever possible. I recognize that most of the consumer benefits we see in the communications sector of the U.S. economy are directly related to the significant levels of competition, and to our de-regulatory policies that have encouraged investment and thus fostered that competition. Of course, I also understand the need for regulation, if and when there is a clear market failure. Such market failure is probably less common in communications markets as compared to other sectors, but we should not assume that it does not exist, and we should acknowledge that market failure may at times occur as new competitors appear. I suppose it may not be a popular position to take here in Washington, DC, but policymakers, like businesspeople in the market, make mistakes, too. At the same time, we should not assume there will not be "government failure," such as when we adopt rules and regulations that we intend and expect will benefit consumers but, in the long run, do not in fact do so. This is partly because we have imperfect 6
information, which is another reason why we need your input. This also underscores why it is so important that the Commission adhere to the APA, maintaining an open and transparent process that allows plenty of time for public participation. Broadband Investment and Results The role of industry in promoting broadband – the developers of technology, the designers of hardware and software, the service providers – cannot be understated. The demand is seemingly insatiable. The Discovery Institute, in a report by Bret Swanson and George Gilder, estimates that by 2015 IP traffic in the U.S. will reach 1,000 exabytes per year, or one million million billion bytes. This is an amount of information equal to 50 million Libraries of Congress. The report further estimates that, to sustain such usage, there will need to be $100 billion in investment in infrastructure. Fortunately, the market is responding and providers are investing. AT&T and Verizon had capital investment of over $17 billion each in 2007, counting both wireless and wireline investments. Sprint had CAPEX of $6.5 billion last year, while T-Mobile invested $3 billion. The Telecommunications Industry Association estimates investment focused specifically on broadband was $15 billion in 2007 and that this figure will rise dramatically over the next couple of years, to $23 billion by 2010. As a result, more than 99 percent of the U.S. population lives in zip codes where a provider serves at least one customer. Workplace broadband connections are more and more common. And virtually all of our schools have high-speed Internet 7
connections, and have had them for a number of years, thanks in large part to the E- rate program. The United States is also number 1 in wireless hotspots, school connectivity, and in (broadband market). Although none of this data is reflected in the OECD reports, I know that you have helped make this possible, and I want to thank you for that. As providers invest and compete to offer better services, consumers respond. In just the wireless market, data services for the first half of 2008 are up 40 percent from the same period a year earlier, to $14.8 billion for this six-month period. And data services account for 20 cents of every dollar of revenue in the commercial wireless market. In addition, consumers send more multi-media messages – like pictures and short videos – than ever before. The 5.6 billion multi-media messages sent in the first half of 2008 were approximately equal to the number sent in all of 2007. Along the same lines, mobile advertising was estimated to be almost $3 billion in 2007 and that this will explode to more than $12 billion in 2011. Talk about a growth market! Perhaps all these exciting statistics about new services explain why the wireless industry added about 20 million subscribers in the past year, and 20 million in the year before that – while landlines decreased by about 10 million in the 2006-2007 period. Providers know that, for wireless to continue to be a growth market, you must continue to offer the services consumers want – often, bandwidth- 8
hungry applications and services. And of course, eye-catching ads require the latest in technology – graphics, video, etc. – which brings us back to investment. At the same time, we should ensure that broadband access is a fact of life for all our citizens, including those in isolated and rural areas. Much has been made of the recent OECD report that the U.S. ranks 15th among 30 OECD nations in broadband penetration. But in order for such a statistic to be useful, we need to understand what it really means. For example, as the Phoenix Center points out, the OECD report does not consider differences in the size of households across nations, not does it count Internet access that is available via the thousands of hotspots and libraries in the U.S. Moreover, broadband usage depends on a variety of factors, including demographics, educational levels, and of course, the price of broadband. When considering broadband penetration in the U.S. – and what policymakers might do to promote more of it – we should be mindful of the unique characteristics of the U.S. market. And when we compare the U.S. market to that of other nations, we should be mindful of how nations differ. For example, failure to properly consider differences in household size or population density across nations can confuse the analysis. To illustrate with an example that is a bit more personal for me, consider South Korea, which has an impressive level of broadband penetration. While South Korea is about the same size as my home state of Tennessee in terms of geography, it is much larger in terms of population. In fact, in order to equal the population of South Korea, Tennessee would need to add a few people to its current 9
population, roughly everyone in the nearby states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky. High population density enables the achievement of a higher penetration rate. These are basic economics of the industry that you, the providers of service across the U.S., understand better than anyone. It's easier to achieve a high penetration in Manhattan than Mississippi. This is not to say that there is no role for policy. We all want broadband to do as much to promote jobs in Mississippi as it does in Manhattan. To accomplish this, our policies much create the right incentives for providers, with, for example, technology-neutral rules, and with enough spectrum available for the bandwidth- hungry applications consumers demand. Challenges Ahead As we carefully choose the best rules to promote broadband deployment, we must be mindful of a few other policy challenges that are intimately related. I am particularly concerned about three Ps – piracy, privacy, and protection of children. And, just today, I can add another "P" – pandemic, as our first summit on pandemic preparedness is occurring right now, which will result in even more burdens on our bandwidth, as possibly half of the workforce may work remotely in the event of such a tragedy. 10
Piracy: In the midst of the incredible consumer benefits of the digital age, many of you know all too well that piracy is a very real and present danger. Piracy steals the fruits of some of our most creative minds. Because I'm from Music City, and have witnessed first-hand the toll this is taking on my personal friends, the music industry, and all those associated jobs and service industries, I am declaring a "War on Piracy." The cost of piracy to our musicians and other creators of content is huge. For the nation as a whole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates the cost to the economy is $12.5 billion. In this as with so many issues, the solution truly must be global. This is especially true given the prevalence of piracy abroad. In 2007, Brazil was estimated to have had 3.8 billion illegal downloads! Yet there is probably a viable – even a highly profitable – business model out there, one that provides creative content to consumers who value it and that, at the same time, provides compensation to those who develop this content. I encourage everyone – from developers of applications to service providers – to think creatively about this problem, to develop tools and curriculum for the next generation, and to help enforce our existing laws against piracy. Privacy: As this Digital Age offers more personalized information to better meet individual needs of consumers, the information that provides this personalization also has risks of being breached. We therefore must ensure the safety and security of users. But the challenges are immense. Consumers in Southeast Asia 11
receive 10 to 12 spam messages per day. One professor estimates that in a few years we will need anti-virus protection on cell phones, and that day may be approaching faster than we think. The incredible uses for GPS, including child tracking, also illicit privacy concerns. Industry must address the risks and rewards. Protection of Children: Our children are indeed our nation's most valuable natural resource, and we should treat them as such. In order to ensure they reach their greatest potential, we must ensure that they have access to a wealth of educational information in an environment that protects their physical safety, their healthy mental development and emotional well-being. While we hold the parents accountable, everyone involved has the responsibility of insuring that parents have the tools to do the job. Protection of children becomes even more critical as they find more ways to get online – usually for very productive reasons like completing their schoolwork, or simply to stay in touch with friends and family. Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project estimates that 94 percent of teens go online. While the majority of these online experiences are positive, it is possible for our children to get lost in the back alleys of the Internet. For example, the same Pew study estimates that 32 percent of teens who go online have been contacted by a stranger online. Moreover, we used to monitor our kids' online activities by keeping the computer next to the kitchen or in a common area, but now their favorite computer may be in the palm of their hand. 12
This mobility is a tremendous asset – one that many of you are helping make possible – but you also must be mindful of the responsibility to provide parents with the tools to make their children's Internet experience a safe one. For this reason, last week I suggested and challenged the wireless industry to become more involved in this issue as they become a gateway to the Internet. With 5.3 million "tweens" having cell phones, and the fact that they are now marketed to preschoolers, providers of wireless service have a responsibility to come to the table and discuss this growing concern. International Focus All of these issues – from promoting broadband deployment to protecting a user's experience on the Internet – are truly international issues. No nation wants its citizens to be left off the Information Superhighway. All nations want their citizens connected. In my nearly three years with the Commission, I have been honored to participate in international dialogues with delegations from across the world, and I continually find that policymakers share this concern, no matter what nation they represent. I have met with my international colleagues at the West Africa ICT Conference in Ghana, at APEC-Tel, the Asian Pacific Telecom Ministers in Bangkok, and at the Global Forum in Italy. I have held discussions with Secretary General Hammadoun Tourré of the ITU, with Vice Minister Xi of the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry, with 13
Chairman Shehadi of the Lebanon Telecommunications Authority, with the First Lady of Egypt, and with Ministers of Australia, Brazil, Japan and Viet Nam regarding the various initiatives they are undertaking. In our conversations, both official and personal, we shared themes of developing our economies in an increasingly competitive and globally interconnected environment, and adopting policies that incentivize and encourage the development of new technologies. As I mentioned earlier, policymakers have a responsibility to get the rules right, and in my discussions with colleagues from across the world. I am trying to do my part to represent American companies well – to open more markets to U.S. companies and encourage pro-market policies in other nations – with transparent and technology-neutral rules – and to increase competition and choice for global consumers as we have done here. So let me add to your list of responsibilities. Not only do you, as industry, have the task of deploying the valuable services consumers demand. You also need to educate, both policymakers and the public as a whole. Today's technology briefing is an important step in this regard. Thanks again for the opportunity to speak with you. Never has there been a more exciting time to be in the communications industry. I look forward to learning from you about the latest technologies and services that you have to offer, and working with you to ensure that our policies in the U.S. foster the investment and competition that ultimately will benefit all Americans. 14

With the birth of Prince George in London and the slow death of Anthony Weiner's campaign in New York, the world's invite to the inauguration of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani - one of Tehran's most high profile events of the year - went fairly unnoticed, as did the rescinded inaugural invites that followed just days later. In a moment of pre-inaugural confusion, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araghchi invited world leaders to the August 4 inauguration of Iran's next president. However, just a few days later, Iran's Foreign Ministry clarified that no RSVP would be required from the United States and Israel since they were not invited.
Israel's foreign minister, Paul Hirschson, assured the international community that they weren't offended. "We're not taking it personally,"
Israel's foreign ministry spokesperson, Paul Hirschson, assured the international community that they weren't offended. "We're not taking it personally," Hirschson said, flippantly overlooking what might have been a rare diplomatic opportunity. While the British were deemed acceptable for inclusion on the invite list despite no embassy presence in Iran and strained diplomatic relations, they will not be sending over a British official. Douglas Alexander, Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary, has criticised the British decision not to attend the inauguration, even though they were invited. He noted that declining the invite "represents both a misjudgment and a missed opportunity". Opening the door to diplomacy can play a real and concrete impact.
Even if the United States were included at the inauguration, it is unlikely that it would have responded by sending a high level official to Iran to the event. This type of diplomatic resistance needs to be overcome if the US and Iran truly desire to work together to make progress on serious foreign policy issues in the region, such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria and resolve differences in the realm of nuclear negotiations.
The lack of official diplomatic channels between the US and Iran, along with the lack of an embassy in Tehran, means that the United States is not only inhibiting its diplomatic ability to work with the Iranians, but it is limiting its ability to put pressure on the regime, monitor on-the-ground dynamics, gauge the population's sentiments, and directly observe the impact of sanctions.
In my research I looked at more than 100 episodes in which the US imposed sanctions on other countries. I found that diplomatic engagement makes sanctions more effective, whereas disengagement has the reverse effect. When the US closes its embassy in a targeted country, for instance, the probability that sanctions will fail increases to 73 percent from 42 percent. When controlling for other variables, simply increasing the economic costs imposed on the target state did not lead to compliance with demands. Engagement improves the ability to convey demands, target the correct entities, monitor the impact of sanctions on the ground, and calibrate policies over time. Diplomacy can also provide a window into the regime's decision-making processes, motives and vulnerabilities. Increased diplomatic interaction also helps clarify the nature of the demands on a sanctioned country and resolve ambiguity or misperceptions that exist.
In a study conducted in 2011 that examines 900 sanctions episodes over three decades, findings illustrated that specific demands had a success rate of 53 percent, whereas only 18 percent of ambiguous demands were met. These findings suggest that strong parallel diplomatic efforts have the ability to directly strengthen punitive economic measures by helping to clarify the nature of demands and foster cooperation between both sides.
Unfortunately, when mutual suspicions and hostilities are present, leaders tend to resist diplomatic outreach. Critics of diplomatic engagement with states like Iran and North Korea sometimes invoke the "Munich analogy" - referencing to the deal struck by Great Britain, France and Italy with Adolf Hitler in September 1938, permitting Germany to annex western Czechoslovakia - and argue that engaging enemies is tantamount to appeasement, particularly if the enemy is the one asking for or demanding the talks in the first place. However, such an analogy is misguided since diplomacy and appeasement are not the same thing. In fact, diplomacy can also be used in conjunction with ramping up pressure on a regime and more forcefully articulating and clarifying demands.
Political leaders may also worry about appearing weak to domestic or international audiences if they make diplomatic overtures or express a willingness to negotiate with certain actors or states. These concerns can be even more salient if they are thinking about reversing from a strong and public position of non-engagement towards one of engagement. In other words, Iranian and US leaders may worry that their previous strategies will be perceived as failures if they modify their positions, and they may also fear losing credibility with certain segments of the population at home.
While the inauguration may represent a missed opportunity, the United States can still seize the moment with diplomatic overtures of its own - both real and symbolic. Just last week, in what seems to be a gesture of good will, the US Treasury Department already eased restrictions on some humanitarian aid and medical supplies entering Iran. In a recent and compelling piece about US policy towards Iran in the New York Review of Books by William Luers, Thomas R Pickering, and Jim Walsh, the authors propose the United States initiate some of its own invitation diplomacy. They encourage the United States to express its openness to a meeting in the next few months between President Obama and President Rouhani and that President Obama send a private letter or congratulatory message to the new Iranian president following the inauguration.
There are serious and real differences between the US and Iran that will need to be worked out in the context of negotiations addressing the nuclear issue. However, the inauguration provides a window of opportunity for both countries to start taking symbolic diplomatic steps in the right direction.

Good on Images but Words Sometimes Fail,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Story of the Jews: Finding the Words (1000 BCE - 1492) (Story of the Jews Vol 1) (Hardcover)
"The Story of the Jews" (of which only volume 1 has so far appeared; volume 2 will come out in September) was conceived simultaneously as a TV series and a book, and the book is actually based upon the TV series.
This combination of the visual image and the printed word works excellently in relation to the central theme that the true and eternal homeland of the Jews is the Book - the Jews being very aptly named "The People of the Book"; that the indestructibility of the Book is one of the main reasons for the survival of the Jewish people in the face of terrible adversity; and that as a result the words of the sacred books were regarded as so beloved and holy that beautiful images grew up around them. Schama excels in describing the lovely, vibrantly-coloured images that decorated the words in Hebrew illuminated manuscripts (pages 372-3) - and this book contains beautiful illustrations of these.
Related to this is Schama's demolition of the myth that Judaism is opposed to representational images, with his vivid description of the discovery of early synagogues with brilliantly-coloured paintings on their walls (pages 173-192), also reproduced in the book's illustrations.
Schama is also particularly good on the "mappae mundi" - the "cloths of the world" that were made by the Jews of Palma de Mallorca during the Spanish Golden Age - maps such as the Catalan Atlas (which also features in Schama's illustrations), with its "folding lengths of painted vellum - crowded with Catalan text, webbed with the lines of the winds, brilliant with gold and silver, vermilion and viridian, the personifications of the zodiac, things fabulous and things charted...." (page 375). These maps, as Schama brings out, also bear witness to the dispersal of the Jews all over the world and celebrate their adventurous trading voyages.
But a big drawback of the dual-media presentation is that what works well as a TV series often does not come over so effectively in a written history. In a TV series, we need a presenter to provide continuity between the visual images, but in a book, the presenter himself as an ever-present guide can come to seem intrusive and over-familiar. Schama adopts a chatty, jocular, at-your-elbow style that works on TV but in a written history can become very irritating (though some Amazon reviewers evidently find it engaging).
There are also a number of errors. An earlier reviewer (writing last September) mentioned the statement on page 19 that the Sabbath does not appear in the Book of Deuteronomy. This mistake has already been corrected in my copy, recently ordered from Amazon, but I have spotted several others. Two small ones are:
1) Again on page 19, Schama claims that Exodus and Deuteronomy forbid intermarriage: "The Books of Exodus and Deuteronomy took a dim view of the practice ("Neither shalt thou make marriages with them" Deuteronomy 7:3)". But this quotation from Deuteronomy only applies to the seven "wicked" Canaanite nations, not to all Gentiles. In Exodus, Moses actually marries a Midianite woman! (2:21) It was not until the time of Ezra that intermarriage was forbidden.
2) Schama claims that whereas the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem was part of God's historical plan, the Israelites' sojourn in Egypt was not: "In the Bible-writing mind, Babylon-Persia had been co-opted as the instrument of divine will. Egypt was always the enemy of YHWH's plans for history." (page 11). But God says clearly to Abraham, generations before the departure to Egypt: "Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;/And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterwards shall they come out with great substance." (Genesis 15: 13-14)
Though it can't be called an error in itself, I find very unconvincing Schama's evident approval of the hypothesis that the Passover Seder meal is a "response to" the Christian Eucharist. To justify this theory, Schama writes: "since the Torah had nothing to say about any kind of Passover meal (only the sacrifice and reading of the Exodus) it has been daringly suggested that the rabbinical invention of the Seder might have been in response to the Easter rites rather than the other way round." (Pages 211-12). The claim that the Torah has "nothing to say about any kind of Passover meal" is in fact another error: what about Numbers 9: 11: "the fourteenth day of the seventh month at even they shall keep it [ie the Passover] and eat it [ie the sacrificial lamb] with unleavened bread and bitter herbs./They shall leave none of it unto the morning"? Surely this is a meal? In any case, the Eucharist can hardly be called a meal, so how can the Seder be a response to it? (It should also be pointed out that the Eucharist derives not from the Passover, but from the Last Supper in the Gospels, which probably wasn't a Passover meal.) A much more convincing theory, which Schama never mentions, even though he stresses the Hellenisation of the Jews, is that the Passover Seder was based upon the ancient Greek Symposium: a banquet characterised by wine-drinking and philosophical discussion.
A serious and revealing error appears in Schama's comment - in relation to the account, in the two Books of Maccabees in the Apocrypha, of the Hasmonean kings' adoption of the dual role of monarchs and high priests - "Tellingly, neither book professes any concern about the violation of a separation of roles established as far back as Moses and Aaron" (page 115).
The separation of the roles of Moses and Aaron is the separation of the roles not of the King and the Priest but of the Prophet and the Priest. Moses was the first Prophet, the spiritual ancestor of the Prophets, who were arbitrarily chosen to be the inspired mouthpieces of God, through whom He spoke to the Kings and People; the Priests were lineal descendants of Aaron and their role was ritual and ceremonial and therefore subordinate to that of the Prophets (of course some Prophets, such as Jeremiah, could also be Priests). Writing of Jerusalem in 200 BCE, Schama says: "the charisma of authority was concentrated in the imposing figure of the High Priest" and that "the appearance of the miraculously clad High Priest was the closest Jews got to the apparition of divine exaltation in human form"(page 106). Schama omits to mention the scribes and sages who in 200 BCE were already developing synagogues and preserving the oral law and who thus provided a link between the Prophets and the Pharisee movement of rabbis that was about to emerge (in the middle of the 2nd century BCE, at the time of the Maccabean Revolt). These scribes and sages and later the Pharisee rabbis possessed, like the Prophets, moral and spiritual authority, as opposed to the merely ritual authority of the imposing ceremonial figure of the high priest in his gorgeous robes.
This over-valuation of the Priests is connected to a certain under-valuation of the Prophets. Thus I found it puzzling that Schama describes the Second Isaiah as insisting on the "exclusiveness" of God (page 46) (also the claim that he is the first of the Prophets to worship One God alone, not just one supreme God, is very much open to question). Taken together with a theme in the early part of the book of a "broad" Judaism open to other cultures and even other gods and a "narrow" Judaism that worshipped only one God, this seems implicitly to criticise the Second Isaiah for being narrow-minded. But how can the universalist vision expressed in the verses attributed to the Second Isaiah possibly be called narrow-minded? "Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it..../I the Lord have called thee in righteousness and will hold thine hand and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles...." (42: 5-6 ) Schama does not seem to me to bring out sufficiently the role in preserving Jewish identity not only of the words but of the main content of the words: the Jews' sense of dedication to one indestructible, eternal God representing universal values and a plan of perfectibility for the whole of mankind.
Schama's over-valuation of Priests and Kings also seems apparent in his evident wish to believe that Khirbet Qeiyafa, an impressive 10th-century BCE city recently discovered 30 kilometres south-east of Jerusalem by Israeli archaeologists, is, as these archaeologists claim (an assertion that has modern political reverberations) a city built by King David and proof that he was an important monarch who ruled over a united kingdom. These archaeologists are trying to disprove the argument, put forward by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman in "The Bible Unearthed" that the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah were always separate and there never was a glorious united kingdom of David and Solomon, who were only minor tribal chieftains whose capital in Jerusalem was just a hill-village. While not coming out completely in favour of the hypothesis that Khirbet Qeiyafa was one of David's expansive royal cities, Schama goes a long way to indicate his approval of it, at one point pre-empting the issue by writing that "the defensive perimeter was casement....since casement walls largely disappear from such sites after the tenth century, this was another indication of an earlier date, most likely from the united not the divided monarchy". Schama does write of "sceptics" but does not dwell very much on the alternative theories , which are that a) Khirbet Qeiyafa is Canaanite; b) (put forward by Israel Finkelstein), that it is in the southernmost part of the much larger and more affluent northern Kingdom of Israel.
To conclude: I found this long first volume (420 pages) to be absorbing and irritating by turns. On the positive side, the individual stories of ordinary Jews are fascinating. I won't of course be able to write a review of "The Story of the Jews" as a whole till I read the second volume in September. I hope to review the book as a whole then and to include more about the first volume (I've already written enough here, I think!)

"We had a lovely time staying at the cottage and viewing the fall leaves! My mom, sister and little nieces came to visit and we decided to go to the Lakes region to see the beautiful fall colors. Our group consisted of 3 adults (1 senior) and two children (3 years and 1.5 years) The cottage suited us very well, as we had many different needs with all of our age ranges. The little ones had tons of books and toys to play with which were all available in a bookcase in the cottage. They loved playing in the yard as well, there were lots of fun outdoor toys and games for them also provided. The big girls loved having wine and sitting on the deck star gazing after the little ones went to sleep. The town of Alton Bay is close and convenient, and we really enjoyed eating at Shibleys at the Pier, which was recommended in the visitor book. We also ventured into Wolfboro for the day and had a great time browsing the streets and shops. The grounds around the cottage are beautiful and very peaceful. I could imagine writing a novel out on the deck! We had everything we needed and were very comfortable during our stay. I recommend this property to anyone looking for a good place to gather and enjoy the outdoors!"Guest: ILG2014 Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 25, 2014View listing
