OGDENSBURG - The campaign is nearing an end for the five candidates for three seats on the Ogdensburg City Council and it has been an informed one for incumbents Michael D. Morley and Daniel E. Skamperle and challengers M. Penny Sharrow, James R. Amo and Brian R. Mitchell.
It has been going well, said Mr. Amo, a Republican. I have been going door to door and speaking to many citizens, listening to their concerns and discussing them.
There is no shortage of issues.
The first concern is peoples inability to build or rebuild on a vacant lot and/or their house without a huge roadblock put up by the code department, Mr. Amo said. I discussed with the citizens my ideas that could potentially turn into a solution. If elected, I would like to update the code and zoning laws to todays standards. Before urban renewal, Ogdensburg was a booming industrious city and was constantly building and expanding. Presently, we dont have the industry and businesses to support the standards of yesteryear.
Want To Know Party candidate Sharrow has been listening, too.
I have heard a number of concerns, opinions expressed, she said. Taxes and what do we actually get for them. The waterfront needs to continue to be a priority, but there needs to be some vision for the rest of the city also to complement the waterfront development.
Jobs are always a concern, said Mr. Morley, seeking his fourth term. Taxes also and worry over the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Centers future and the impact on the community is the most pressing right now, though. New shopping opportunities are a concern as stores open and stores close.
Mr. Mitchell, a Republican, has also heard plenty.
In talking with the taxpayers, I see many similarities in issues we believe need attention, he said. I get a lot of the same responses, crime and drugs. I believe we need to offer more support to the police department and to continue to clean up the city of its crime and drug problem. I currently have two of my own children and our familys goal is to make parks a safe place for our children to play and to be confident that they will be able to walk safely home from school. I agree with the citizens of Ogdensburg that the drug and crime problem is a big issue and that it is time to step up and do something more about it before it gets to be an even bigger problem.
Mr. Skamperle, a Democrat and a Conservative, is seeking a second term.
The top issues Im hearing about facing Ogdensburg are the potential closing of the psychiatric center, job creation, waterfront redevelopment, a high tax rate with a decreasing tax base, increasing crime and an increasingly failing housing stock. he said.
I believe they all have deep roots in many policies created by Washington and Albany that have negatively affected not only Ogdensburg but many cities and towns across the state and nation. All are interrelated and the analogy Ive used in the past is pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.
Not surprisingly, the candidates take on the mood of the electorate is as varied as varied as their issues of concern.
If there was a word to describe the voters mood, its one of frustration as to where the city is going in the near future and how do we save our city, Ms. Sharrow said.
I dont see any one mood as the general consensus, Mr. Morley said. I know there is worry about the psychiatric center. I think there is hope of new opportunities as the riverfront is cleaned up and developed. People realize that things dont happen overnight. The Diamond International/Standard Shade Roller property has been a project since knocking the old plant down in 2001. Now, almost 13 years later, we are just beginning to see the fruit of possible development. It takes time to do things right.
I think the public is well aware of who is running and the background of each candidate, Mr, Mitchell said. Many people have voiced that they believe it is time for action and that we need fresh ideas brought to our city. Citizens are looking for changes as they are tired of the high taxes and the lack of job opportunities.
Mr. Amo, however, sees Tuesdays election as a red flag.
The general mood is that they are sick of the same old yes people in council and they want a big change, he said. They are looking for people who are going to question things and not just say aye to everything brought to the table, and I am the person who will do that. I will not sit idly by without transparently questioning things I feel need to be. I will bring the voters concerns to the council and not just take it in without doing anything about it. They feel like they have brought their concerns to certain councilors and those concerns were never brought up or addressed.

A joyful lamentation over sealed spaces and the lessons Rosh Hashanah — and the High Holy Days — teaches when we have access to the gifts of our natural environment.
Krista Tippett sits down with Lord Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain. One of the world's great thinkers on the promise and perils of religion, they discuss how Jewish and other religious ideas can inform modern challenges. He says that the faithful can and must cultivate their own deepest truths — while finding God in the other.

Video Interviews with Krista Tippett
From the beautiful campus of Emory University, a one-on-one interview with the chief rabbi during the Dalai Lama's conference in 2010. This is a wide-ranging conversation focusing on his wisdom in contemplating how all of us can better learn to honor the dignity of difference in a globalized world.
Selected Audio
In 1990, Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks delivered six Reith Lectures on the BBC. Listen to all six lectures as Lord Sacks examines religion and ethics in a secular society. He explores how objective standards influence people's ethics, discusses the religious institution of marriage in society, examines the language of religion and community, assesses the mix of religious revival and nationalism, and explains why faith survives.

Share a Reflection
Among my Christian friends I am a Jew, but among Jews such as Rabbi Sacks, I would be excluded from my own religious life because I am a liberal Jewish woman. So, while I appreciate some of the words Rabbi Sacks had to say, his very soft, kind voice did not win me over nor change my opinion that his talk is cheap. Easy to be inclusive of those outside his religion, it never requires him to allow that not only can there be diverse paths to God in the world at large, there can also be diverse paths within the various religion; it never requires him to give up believing he and his alone are the ones 'living true to their faith'. IMO, all he has done is put on a pleasant public face to cover up the 'true believer' lurking beneath the surface.
In Torah we are taught first to love our neighbor, then we are taught to love the stranger and not until Deuteronomy are we taught to love God. Yet, it seems we religious people find it easier to do these in reverse. Many of us claim to love God, it's quite simple to say the words and really nothing is required from us to back them up. Many of us find it easy to reach out to the stranger. They're exotic, interesting, not one of us and don't require much of us. They're not going to intrude on our sacred spaces, their voices can easily be ignored, who are they to speak about our religion, after all. We can pat them on the head with a quick, "The righteous of all the nations have a place in Olam Haba, I've helped you with whatever it is you need help with, I've been gracious enough to support you having your own sacred spaces, now go away and leave me alone." We don't have to treat strangers as equals, we don't have to look them in the eye, and we can feel oh so much more righteous than those who would relegate to eternal damnation all who don't believe like them. Everyone has a place at the big table in the sky...except our neighbors.
Our neighbors, our co-religionists. That's the tough one. Why should I listen to a rabbi who speaks so eloquently of diverse paths to God on the one hand but doesn't back up his words with his own actions? I read how Rabbi Sacks refused to attend the funeral of Reform Rabbi Hugo Gryn(z"l), said Rabbi Gryn was "among those who destroy the faith", proclaimed himself an enemy to liberal Jewish denominations, did not allow Rabbi Louis Jacobs, a liberal rabbi, to be given an aliyah in honor of his, Rabbi Jacob's, granddaughter's wedding. What happened to that oh so soft, kindly voice on these occasions? Easy to be kind while speaking to a Krista, a woman who will never present a challenge to his own religious understanding because she makes no claims to it, much harder to be kind to those who would. Rabbi Sacks may be willing to talk with Krista, but he will not daven with me. So, of what value is his religious expansiveness to me, his neighbor?
So, I am drawn to Judaism, I consider myself to be a religious Jew, I study constantly, am active within my community, yet many within Orthodoxy consider me a heretic, a woman trying to be a man rather than thanking God each day for creating me as I am. I have become quite cynical about it all. I could write a book on pluralism within religion as well, spinning tales of all the wonderful interfaith dialogs that take place between my non-Jewish friends and myself, but in the end I know that I will always struggle with trying to find a way to accept those within my own religion who cannot except me unless I become the kind of woman they just know God has decreed for me to be, out of sight and silent in shul.
I'm honest, but not angry; I don't try to hide behind a facade of gentleness and acceptance. I acknowledge my own struggles, my own hypocrisies, my own lack of acceptance towards some of my neighbors, my own sense of disappointment with God and many religious men. I listened to the whole of this interview, it was nice, pleasant, feel-good, but in the end all I could think was, the Rabbi spoke of the value of really talking to each other but talk is cheap. Incredibly cheap. Hurtfully cheap.
I am not clear on what is
I am not clear on what is bothering Jeanine Lange. There is a system of thought and belief known as "Orthodox Judaism". She does not subscribe to that system of thought and belief. Is she asking them to cease being Orthodox Jews?
Let's take her issues one by one:
"He has done is put on a pleasant public face to cover up the 'true believer' lurking beneath the surface" - she is accusing Rabbi Sacks of duplicity. That is a serious charge. I don't think Rabbi Sacks is trying to portray himself as a non-true believer, and I don't think any listener takes him that way. He is, after all, an Orthodox rabbi.
"Why should I listen to a rabbi who speaks so eloquently of diverse paths to God on the one hand but doesn't back up his words with his own actions?" - Would Ms. Lange expect Rabbi Sacks to attend a church service? To give a non-Jew an honor in the synagogue? Perhaps she would, I don't know how liberal she is. But most liberal Jews would agree that drawing such lines is not inconsistent with being compassionate and tolerant. In other words, we all agree that there are red lines. We can love our neighbor while refusing to participate in our neighbor's activity that we deem outside our theological/spiritual comfort zone, or while declining to include our neighbor in some of our activities. One commenter below wonders how tolerant the rabbi would be of a Messianic Jew. IMHO he would be compassionate and tolerant, but would not honor him in the synagogue - a position taken by the way by most liberal rabbis as well!
"Many within Orthodoxy consider me a heretic, a woman trying to be a man rather than thanking God each day for creating me as I am.... I know that I will always struggle with trying to find a way to accept those within my own religion who cannot except me unless I become the kind of woman they just know God has decreed for me to be, out of sight and silent in shul." It saddens me to read this paragraph. It pains me for two reasons: first, because the underlying assumption is that what goes on in shul (synagogue) is the heart and soul of Judaism. For Ms. Lange and many liberal Jews, that may be true. But for an Orthodox Jew like Rabbi Sacks, the shul is secondary, or arguably tertiary. The primary locales for the expression of one's religiosity is at home and at work. This is not apologetics. This is Orthodoxy.
It saddens me for a second reason because it shows a lack of understanding of what Orthodox men are doing in shul. The best modern analogy I can think of is a men's group. This is a men's group, bonding time. It's been that way for 2,000 years. Men are going there 3x/day, 365 days/year. Women come along and say, "can we join" and men say, "please, don't intrude on our guy time". OK, we'll make you a space if you really want to come, to participate, but don't take away from our guy-time. You want to make your own women's group? Fine. But don't tread on our guy-time. Why is that offensive? Maybe because some communities invest so much money in the shul that its importance gets blown out of proportion. That's a distortion. No one is telling you what kind of woman to be, but the shul thing, that's guy-time, so let the guys have their guy-time.
"I could write a book on pluralism within religion as well". This is a hot potato. The problem with pluralism within a religion is that the more orthodox wings of the group are always by definition going to feel uncomfortable with the more liberal wings. Think of the Catholic Church v. Reformation. Within Judaism it is a complex problem because membership is not - even for the liberal - merely a matter of self-definition. Becoming Muslim merely requires making 2 declarations and bingo, you're a Muslim. Becoming Jewish requires something objective that is verifiable by the community. Comparable to becoming American or becoming French. Speaking fluent French, eating baguettes and drinking coffee from tiny cups isn't enough.
At what point do 2 factions within a religious group become two separate religions? For instance, it is well known that the first Christians were Jews. At what point did Christianity become a completely separate religion? It has been argued that the breaking point is when their children can no longer marry each other without a conversion. If a conversion is required, that is a good indicator that you have two separate religions. By Orthodox standards, Ms. Lange may be 100 percent Jewish and therefore not require a conversion to marry an Orthodox man. But ever since Reform Judaism changed the definition of who is a Jew, a large and growing percentage of liberal Jews do not meet this standard. How does she expect a rabbi like Rev. Sacks to deal with this?
It's as if a baseball team decided to change the rules, instead of 4 bases, let's play with 3. Are they allowed to do that? Of course! Should they expect the other teams to play against them? Of course not. To expect so would be a kind of chutzpa. So they form their own league. Let's call it Reform Baseball. It becomes more and more popular because it's easier, the games are shorter and expectations lower. Soon it boasts to be the largest baseball movement in America, and takes credit for saving the game of baseball. But to the chagrin of its participants, Major League Baseball refuses to relax its old-fashioned orthodox rules. They won't even let women play, for crying out loud. Wannabees like Ms. Lange hate to sit on the sidelines. But why is that a strike against MLB? Reform Baseball is the largest baseball movement in America, so go play with them. As long as the MLB players treat you with respect and dignity, I don't hear the gripe against them playing according to their rules.
"talk is cheap. Incredibly cheap. Hurtfully cheap" - I hear this. When someone talks about love and compassion, or about ethics, but doesn't walk the walk, that's hypocrisy. When I hear of a "religious" Jew who behaves unethically, that's hypocrisy. But fortunately, most "religious" Jews, whether of Rabbi Sacks's ilk or of Jeanine Lange's ilk, do tend to be more ethical, compassionate and connected than they might have been if they were less religious.
To sum up, the quote from Rabbi Sacks that resonates the most with me is "It's when you can feel your opponent's pain that you're beginning the path that leads to reconciliation." Within the Jewish people, we too often set each other up as opponents. Feeling each other's pain perhaps begins the path towards unity. But it's not enough, as Ms. Lange says. We also need to work together. As Jews, that has historically meant first and foremost to learn Torah together.

Together with Laurie Weisman I started an organization called "The Memory Project Productions" which uses art exhibitions, documentaries and outreach to schools to share my personal history as a daughter of Holocaust survivors and encourage others to explore and share their history through art, inquiry and sharing. Our website includes artwork and stories created by children in schools that we have worked with. Our exhibit is currently at the Holocaust Museum Houston, Texas. The exhibit "The Memory Project" is a combination of paintings of my uncle Kalman who disappeared as a child in Poland during the Holocaust and my mother's telling of their story while I search, through art and conversation with my mother to connect to a past that is there but hard to grasp. Our story is told across 9 video screens and 9 paintings of Kalman.
The Dignity of Difference 11/11/10 – Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, Lord Jonathan Sacks I enjoyed listening to Lord Jonathan Sacks in this interview and how he tells of how he came to know and love Judaism. What first piqued my interest was when he tells us of his limited mechanical abilities and that when all else fails, read the instructions, just as quantitative experimental science is doing now in reading the Bible to discover what the traditions and wisdom was saying three to four thousand year ago, which we all know is to do good for others. I was moved in his telling of his experience when standing with other religious leaders at ground zero, seeing the wreckage and the sheer harm that hate can do. It would be life altering to say the least. In another part of the interview what really struck a chord with me is when he said "By being what only I can be, I give humanity what only I can give. It is my uniqueness that allows me to contri bute something unique to the universal heritage of human kind." Each of us is truly unique in our own way and we must remember that God put us on earth to make a difference, no matter how big or small our contribution to human kind may be. It was most intriguing to hear that conversation is considered to be the antidote to violence. We each know this in theory but there are often times when people are not willing to take the time to discuss a situation; rather, they walk away without making an attempt to understand the other person's point of view at all, which results in the situation not getting resolved and the possibility of the situation to escalate into violence. As Lord Sacks also said, "It's when you can feel your opponent's pain that we're led to the path of reconciliation." Thank you for having these inspirational discussions available for your listeners.
The Rabbi has some very good things to say about seeing yourself in the other or for some people God in the other. However, is it always necessary to speak in these low, soft tones? It does sound a bit pretentious. Also why is it that Krista thinks that the passion of a true moral compass burns stronger in more conservative circles? I think it's the opposite. The loud, our way our the highway evangelical religious fanatics have done more to shove the United States in the most dangerous direction I've experienced in my 62 years. It would be refreshing if once in a while Krista would challenge the attitude of one of her more conservative speakers.
I would like to reiterate Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' message that we are in a new century in which openness of dialogue will be a form of liberation. I would like to suggest an outreach between synagogues and mosques in NYC that would encompass only those issues dear to both of us -- theological issues that might bring us closer in understanding, not political issues that have no place in a dialogue between kindred religious spirits. Could we not have a panel in which learned, and less learned, representatives of our faiths might share our feelings about Abraham, Sarah, Ismael, Issac, and other figures whom we revere in our Holy Books? To learn about what we know from another's point of view is a step to learning more about ourselves. How can we take the first wee steps to turn an opening remark into a story? Robert S. April MD MA New York City Member, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun
Upon listening to the program[me] with Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, Lord Jonathan Sacks, I thought of the idea that the more time the world spends in/on conversation, the less time we spend in/on confrontation. From the simplest fight between individuals, to wars between nations. It is my sincerest hope that we spend more time talking and less time fighting, but hopefully I'm not expecting too much. I enjoy the show and my sincerest best wishes to the thoughtful and attractive Ms. Tippett. Blessings to her and on her and her family. Thanks.
I heard the interview with Chief Rabbi Sacks on Sunday evening, 11.14.10 on my local radio station. I am frequently a visitor to your show, but usually turn it off anywhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through, due to disgust and irritation with the guests. As a dyed in the wool atheist, I find most of your guests to be intolerable. To me, they appear to believe in nothing more than mythology. However, the conversation with Rabbi Sacks was very interesting and extremely rational. He offers some hope for stopping the evils of religion.
I hope you have more guests on who are rational human beings.
Lloyd Shadley
Dear MS Tippett, I am a listener but I am not a spiritual person. As such I am repeatedly bothered by the attitude of you and your guests to the lives of secular people. Just yesterday I heard Jonathan Sacks describe our lives as "flat", "plastic" and "uncreative". It's really disheartening when the most sensitive people on the radio feel people like me are beyond the pale of sensitivity. Secular people are human beings. What's more, secular lives are a perfectly valid mode of being. We are not nihilists or hedonists or automatons or zombies or monsters. Some of us might even make interesting guests on your show if you would have us. Charles Edwards, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Hi Charles; I am a devout
Hi Charles; I am a devout atheist, but I don't get the same impression listening to On Being (if I did, I'd just turn it off). I appreciate that the quote you cite above does support your view, but my overall take on this week's episode and most I've heard previously is that the perspective is not typically judgmental (listen to last week's interviewee, who is also an atheist, as an example).
Honestly, I wish everyone in America (and beyond) could hear this program; while most won't agree with every statement uttered, there are many thoughts/assertions of value in each program, I find.
As another self-described
As another self-described atheist, I also listen and appreciate the premise of this show. However, insights I'll occasionally extract from extremely long interviews are usually parallel to and not directly from the discussion. My point is to clarify what Charles is saying. To put it in a word, the attitude of this show towards its subject is consummately "glib". It's a space for religion without the expectation that anything anyone's saying will have relevance to tangible action or change--which is mysticism.
People like Richard Dawkins would say that's the nature of any theological discussion, and for the most part he's right--the trick is being productive with our theoretical discussions in either churches or scientific conferences. Most of the work I've done in college as a religious studies scholar is to listen to people trying to articulate what it is that makes them feel obligated to defend or declare some sort of faith. It starts with making sense of my Catholic education. I've attended church seminars and interfaith panels, etc., on top of school research, and all I can say after nearly six years of sustained attention to the subject is that religion is primarily a one-sided conversation. It's implicitly judgmental in a society where atheists primarily get public recognition from the lawsuits they file, or long and thought-out books that few read beyond the cover. The change from "Speaking of Faith" to "On Being" politically acknowledges a wider range of listeners, but still doesn't broaden the discussion when all guests are speaking in the vocabulary of faith.
While this is my lasting impression, I don't turn off the show because (A) it [intentionally or not] sets the tone of the national conversation about religion--it's National Public Radio, not some local community showcase. (B) In trying to defend my minority perspective (just as any biologist who may have to defend evolution or pro-choice politics in the Bible belt), On Being is actually a tool for me to exercise ways to change the conversation. That is, you can't change people's minds if you aren't familiar with the network of false associations they have about you. This goes both ways, but you (Ron) perpetuate some false associations just by calling yourself "devout". Atheism is a philosophical position, not a sense of identity and association. Alain De Botton is experimenting with the public as far as I see, he is not interested in fact checking, but places 90% of his focus on a kind of social mysticism. To be brief, the point here is that facts are dependent on reliable theories, and the point of conversation is to compare theories and resolve our contradicting relationships to certain facts. THAT would be constructive. Instead, the conversation is usually limited to stating the obvious facts that people experience something they call faith, that they also experience situations that cause doubt, and that people like me just don't get it. If Krista and her team were bold enough to sit down with someone like Neil Degrasse Tyson, Lawrence Krauss, or any other serious atheist for a 90 minute interview, they would have to acknowledge that those who "just don't get it" aren't simply ignorant of some great beyond but are actually very tangibly engaged with what it means to be alive...what "being" is.
Dear Ms. Tippet,
Your program this week consisted of an hour-long advertisement for Judaism and Israel, in the form of an interview with a Rabbi named Jonathan Sacks. Mr. Sacks spent the full hour weaving religious mythology into his political agenda, whitewashing Jewish history and making a number of disparaging innuendo about Islam along the way. You know, Fox News is, in a way, more honest than NPR, because they come right out and say that they hate Islam, and attack people they consider enemies in plain sight. NPR, and apparently 'Being', is much more insidious, because it prefers to inject an agenda promoting Israeli and Jewish interests in subtle and subliminal ways. I wrote a book about Israel and Judaism that looks into this issue, and I continue to hope an NPR program will one day allow my perspective, or others with smiliar dissenting views, to be heard. No luck so far. Christopher Egli, author, 'The Nicest People on Earth'
As hospice volunteers, our role is to set ego aside, open our hearts to "the stranger" and companion them in their last transformative days on the planet Earth. I always tell the volunteers that as the patients we serve are being transformed by their dying, so are we being transformed as we serve them. And if we aren't being transformed, we aren't really doing the work. That can be startling to someone who only thinks in terms of tasks to do instead of relationships to cultivate. And the cultivation of relationship is more likely to happen when we check our needs at the door, make an intention to be present, and open our heart with loving kindness to the other. I believe that every time you open the door of a home served by hospice, you are stepping into the sacred. Here is a person who is ill; here are the loved and loving ones; here are the ones who are merely tolerant; here are the ones who are enduringly patient. Take off your shoes. It's holy ground. Apparently being barefoot is a spiritual practice!
The listening that is done in hospice care is essential to "the flourishing of common life". We are all going to die and many of us will suffer prior to that. These are the common threads and talking with and about these issues underlines the oneness we are.
Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks brings religious views back to those of the Deny's. God is bigger than religion, God is bigger than human understanding, God may even be bigger than the word God itself. I enjoyed learning about his religious history and seeing how he, similar in some ways to Karen Armstrong, found religion when they weren't looking for it. For some of us, hearing the struggles of even the most devout belies guilt we may feel within our own struggles.
Lord Sacks statement of "When all else fails, read the instructions." should ring true in society regardless of religious affiliation. We, as a society, have proven to be one that struggles with equality, humanity and at times, a general level of respect for those both alike and different from us. We need to refer back to former "instructions" set forth for each of us and move forward with these in mind. We will never be able to determine who is "right" in the debate of Jesus being the Messiah vs. a Prophet vs. a Teacher, as this will always be based on one's faith and belief. In order for societies to move progressively forward, society needs to understand the commonalities between religion (particularly Islam, Judaism and Christianity) while focusing on the respect, compassion and reverence within those commonalities.
The faithful can and must cultivate their own deepest truth while finding God in the other". "Don't think God is as simple as you are and think we can confine God into our categories, God is bigger than religion". These were two great quotes I got from the beginning from this broadcast and it really made me think what to follow. The idea that a religion is true does not define us as a person but what define us is the fact that every living thing came from the same source. Jonathan Sacks says we should have the dignity of difference because of the world we live in today. On thing that according Rabi Sacks is the fear of the "stranger" because in human history human beings have lived with people that share the same views but in modern times as we see in Europe and in America there are people from different cultures and backgrounds that live together.
The two great commandment in the New Testament states "we should love our neighbor as ourselves and love God". But he says in the Mosaic book it says "love the stranger because you were once a stranger in the land of Egypt". This is true in the world we live in today as we come across different people who are not of the same faith but at the same either you have to do a business with that person or have to sit in the same classroom. "When we seek the welfare of others we know that doing good to others is a determinant of happiness". We can do this by fellowship among the different religions of faiths. As a Christian listening to this broadcast was very interesting because all along I have viewed people with different religious beliefs as the same human beings and we were all created by one God.
Recently, Rabbi Sacks was
Recently, Rabbi Sacks was roundly condemned by diverse Jewish leaders in the U.K. for his unnecessary condemnation of civil marriage for gays and lesbians. I listened with sadness to Rabbi Sack's wise reminders that the bible tells us 36 times to 'love the stranger' and that change occurs 'only when we can feel the pain of the other' (his insight). Despite his verbal eloquence, Rabbi Sacks seems unable to walk his talk and demonstrate true, deep and meaningful dignity towards difference.
Does love+compassion require
Does love+compassion require me to agree with you? To support changes in civil society that I disagree with? To remain silent in the face of what I consider immoral? I'm not defending Rabbi Sacks's position on civil marriage, I'm defending his right to oppose it without being accused of lacking compassion.
Regarding the Rabbi's
Regarding the Rabbi's observation that many of the most peace activistic people on both sides have been people who have lost children and family members I am reminded of a quote from Golda Meir: 'Peace will come when we love our children more than we hate each other'.
First off, I want to express
First off, I want to express my appreciation for Krista Tippett. Last week a commenter unfairly, I thought, disparaged Ms. Tippett's interview style. I admit that I felt that last week, Ms. Tippett seemed a little bit "smitten" (platonically or otherwise) with her guest who was certainly appealing in thought and manner, and interjected perhaps a little more than in other installments.
I say this thinking about the most recent episode with Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (to be both "Rabbi" and "Lord" seems, I don't know, ironic?). In any case, speaking of appreciating the diversity of difference, I recently reflected on a first encounter with a theretofore stranger, in which I appreciated the gist of her comment but thought the manner was a little more stern than necessary. Walking away, I thought, "Okay, that's not the way I would have approached the situation, but I think it was an appropriate way for someone else to approach it (meaning, while different from my manner, it wasn't what I would suggest was offensive or egregious). Working, working, working towards tolerance and understanding that we're all different and finding our way!
I'm a staunch NPR devotee, and as On Being is now in a time slot that falls during my commute, I feel most blessed (says the atheist) for the show. I'm sure that Krista Tippett has great input in selecting her guests and formulating the interview questions, and I applaud her and the show!
Was quite taken with Rabi
Was quite taken with Rabi Saks, I consider myself neither Christian or Jew, nor any specific "religion". Was somewhat surprised by some of the more virulant "attacks" on him. His quoteing statement: "we must love one another, or die". still rings in my head. To which I would add: The world is a scary place; go in peace". Thanks again for a most consoling program.
Jeanine Lange's response
Jeanine Lange's response Rabbi Sack's conversation with Krista Tippet was written almost two years ago. It is at the top of this collection of comments. I listened to Rabbi Sasks' conversation with Krista Tippet for the first time a few weeks ago. The 'conversation' and Jeanine Lange's response need each other. They represent the Ying and the Yang of our lives. ON BEING places them on the same table for a few moments. There is no solution to this paradox. There is no acceptance of this unless it is an acceptance unrelated to acceptability. It is an acceptance of reality. It is an acceptance on the edge of a precipice because we are not yet ready to go over the edge together.
I enjoy all your shows and
I enjoy all your shows and listening to your interview with Rabbi Sacks (aired September 2012) was no exception. However, one important group seemed to be conveniently missing: Messianic Jews. It would have been fascinating indeed to hear about his dignified dialogues of differences with them.
I listened to the radio
I listened to the radio program with a Chief Rabbi named Jonathan Sacks. He resides in Great Britain and the interview was about modernization of the Jewish religion. I found myself more intrigued by what he was saying than I thought I would. He had good points that made me think about why and how things are done. He talks about how the Jewish religion has changed and evolved from century to century due to modern things such as technology. Some of the biggest ideas that he talked about that was not just in the Jewish faith but in the Christian faith as well was moral values, giving to others and being true to your religion and yourself. I found some of the comparisons interesting as to the connections he made.
When Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks talks about the Bible saying that it isn't as simple as you think it is, I find this interesting. He talks about "I am that which I am" which means something different in Hebrew. He goes on to say how God is bigger than religion. He states, "To be true to your faith and blessing to others regardless of your faith". I find this phrase interesting because even though this type of message reaches back centuries, it is still being portrayed. The difficulty of being modern or dated is hard because he is constantly judged by the people he leads in his religion and knows this. This Rabbi is intriguing because they talked about how he went to communities to act as though he was homeless to get a good view and to be able to reach out to these sorts of people. In thinking about this, it is interesting because if you think about back in biblical times, many of those people did not't have shelter or anything that we have right now. They build a shack with leaves for a roof and do this for seven days. He thinks we need to feel what it's like to be homeless because there are so many people in the present time that are homeless. He talks about how this is a specific thing that we should do within our religions. He thinks that people should also be able to share their stories and ideas to understand one another. For example, the Passover story is such a simplistic story but it means different things to different generations. These different generations take away different meanings because of different experiences and things that happen in their lives. For example, people now days don't know how to interact or go about their daily life if they do not have email or their Blackberry. This is a much different view than the people many centuries ago. I assume that this is a way to tie himself to the Jewish community to know how these biblical leaders and followers would have gone about their business. The Jewish community tries to work together with other religious communities on certain things but some things are not able to be collaborated on. Many religious traditions have to do with moral views and observations. There is not't a scientific basis to religion because it is mainly based on morals you were brought up with and that you choose to continue to believe. He continues to talk about how people relate to people such as the Dahli Lama because he is so different and compares it to a Jewish rapper. He talks about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he "had a dream" and compared it to 27 centuries ago and how they doubtfully thought about black civil rights.
To sum it up, we should love each other, be true to our religion and ourselves. We also need to give to others because all of these things will help us grow as people.

Executive Chef
Award-winning Chef Julian Serrano brings his memorable Mediterranean cooking to Bellagio as Executive Chef of Picasso. Serrano earned the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award twice as "Best Chef in the Southwest" in 2002 and "Best Chef of California" in 1998 and is regarded as one of the finest culinary talents in the nation.
Although of Spanish descent, Serrano has an affinity for French cuisine. Serrano completed most of his training in the gourmet rooms of France and, once a year, finds himself there in search of new inspirations, much like the master from which his newest restaurant takes its name, Pablo Picasso. The décor of this Mediterranean-style restaurant features a collection of Picasso originals, including paintings, rare tile work and a collection of hand-painted plates.
The restaurant's rustic yet elegant charm is reflected in vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, terracotta tile and hanging pottery mingling with table settings of fine china and lavish floral arrangements. From the scenic lakeside patio, guests can view the spectacular fountain show that performs nightly.
Featured on Picasso's menu are some of Serrano's signature creations including Roasted U-10 Day Boat Scallops, Lamb with truffle crust and Medallions of Fallow Deer. The restaurant boasts a wine cellar stocked with more than 1,400 bottles from the finest European vineyards.
Picasso is a thirteen-time recipient of the AAA Five Diamond Award.

Eleonora Carisi is more than just an adored style blogger; she's also a fashion enthusiast with an incredible eye for emerging designers and an impressive work ethic. Before starting JouJou Villeroy two years ago--a blog that covers beauty, lifestyle and design, fashion news, and street style--Carisi became the proprietor of YouYou Store in 2006, a concept boutique in her hometown of Turin, Italy, that sells pieces from up-and-coming artists alongside some of her own designs. All the while, she's managed a successful career as a stylist and model, most recently as the face of the Jimmy Choo 24:7 Stylemakers and Just Cavalli's "I Lock Your Love" campaigns. Resume aside, what earns this Italian beauty, with her violet dip-dyed hair and signature Cindy Crawford mole, the admiration of so many fashion fans is her perennially chic sensibilities and fearless approach to dressing. We pay homage to the street style favorite in this month's Style Stalker.
An oversized, bubblegum pink sweatshirt with a giant monster eye and ruffles on the sleeves may be intimidating for most, but for Carisi, it's simply a backdrop for displaying a stone-encrusted statement necklace. And that's just one example of our stalkee's risk-taking aesthetic. On any given afternoon, you might find her in a cobalt blue party dress with a feathered skirt or outfitted in a casual mix of pretty pastels punctuated with neon yellow heels; while unexpected, these outfits hint at current trends in noteworthy ways. We can appreciate her simpler styling tricks too, like adding texture to a LBD with a sheer white raincoat or balancing a bright frock with black accents, as the outcome always feels fresh. Want to get Carisi's look? We show you how here, plus don't miss our chat with the tastemaker below, where she reveals her closet go-tos, favorite places to shop, and more.--Jessica Baker

Q&A with Eleonora
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
An energetic milkshake with bright, acid orange colors flavored with hot chili in the perfect South Italy style.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
My city is called The Grey Turin, and thusly inspires me to do the opposite. There's a little place in me that allows dark colors, but only when I watch Six Feet Under and not because I want to dress in black with the classic white collar. My inspiration transcends from things like the idea of the sun behind a cloud.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
Patterns: the idea that nothing makes sense gives meaning to everything. I like to mix lines with rhombus shapes, circles with flowers, and overlapping colors. Glitter: a woman should shine for every occasion, whether it's with the help of a sequin skirt, glitter shoes, or opulent accessories, such as necklaces with gemstones and dangling earrings.
Who is your style icon?
Anna Piaggi.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
I recently bought a pair of Acne boots with massive heels that make you look taller (but not too much) and let you dance all night long in the worst bars of Caracas without losing your feminine, rock and roll style. They are perfect with skinny jeans and long skirts.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
-SOTO in Berlin
-Colette in Paris
-Celine in Milan
-VooStore in Berlin
What are some of your fashion sites/blogs?
Tumblr. I do not have a specific one. I like to feed myself more pictures and less content.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by squiggle Very brittle, and broke immediately after we opened it. I was excited to ther the beautiful little salt and pepper shakers. I wanted them for Easter when the family would be here. But we carefully opened them and when I handed them to my husband to wash them he had one in his hand and was just a few inches from the bottom of the kitchen sink. It slipped out of his hand and broke on impact. In my opinion they were not of quality workmanship. But I didn't return them as it was dropped and broken after we received it. However I would not order anything else from you. April 19, 2015

Jared Upwall displays some of the many fireworks that are for sale in Price.
With July 4th rapidly approaching and Pioneer Day following close on the national holiday's heels, fireworks stands have sprung up in Price.
But there are many statewide rules governing fireworks and where the devices may be legally used.
In Carbon County and across Utah, the only fireworks allowed are the fountain types, sparklers and nothing that explodes, according to Jared Upwall of the One way Ministries fireworks stand in Price.
"We don't sell anything that goes above six feet and there is a big fine if someone is caught with illegal fireworks," said Upwall.
According to Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont, the fines for violating the restrictions can range from $500 up to $1,000 along with criminal and civil charges.
Fireworks can be purchased from June 19 until July 26.
The devices may be discharged three days prior and three days after July 4th as well as July 24th.
"Fireworks are dangerous," emphasized Bedont "There are millions of dollars in damage from them every year."
Most of the fines come from fireworks that are classified as illegal because the devices don't meet Utah's standards.
"Some might bring stuff in from Wyoming and,while some of it will meet the standards, most of it won't," said Bedont.
In Utah, no firework can exceed the length of 15 feet horizontally, or vertically, and nothing can explode.
Bedont and state officials encourage Carbon County residents to consider several safety tips while celebrating the upcoming holidays.
The recommendations include:
â¢The best way to enjoy fireworks is to visit public displays put on by professionals who are licensed and know how to safely handle fireworks.
â¢People who plan to use fireworks should make sure the devices are legal in the local area.
â¢People should never light fireworks indoors or near fields or open areas with dry brush.
â¢While igniting fireworks, people should always have a bucket of water, a hose line and/or an extinguisher
People should also know how to properly operate the fire extinguisher.
â¢People should not wear loose clothing while using fireworks.
The sparks can easily fall under clothing and cause clothes to burn.
â¢Carbon County residents should stand several feet away from lighted fireworks.
If fireworks do not go off, people should douse with water and carefully dispose of the devices.
â¢Occasionally fireworks malfunction so local residents should take precautions to protect their eyes.
â¢People should always read the directions and warning labels on fireworks. Fireworks that are not marked with the contents, directions and warning labels should never be ignited.
â¢Carbon County residents should supervise children around fireworks at all times.

Admin wrote:Crocker just got here and we held our debriefing. He reports scoring nothing but "sloppy seconds" all day. Our days could not have been more different but I've got a witness to back me up. This just proves my point even more that someone Monday morning quarterbacking from 500 miles away can't come close to understanding what can be done here by someone who spends 80 days or so at Alta every winter.
Admin wrote:Day 43: Timing is everything.
Along with positioning, that is. With a three-day storm total now reaching 44" and our base finally exceeding 100", demand was high. I had to be on my game and not screw up like I did yesterday. The Little Cottonwood Canyon Road was closed all night and was supposed to open around 8:30 a.m. I worked for a bit in the morning then headed out. Seeing the traffic backed up on Wasatch I took a back way that I know and got myself into the perfect position. I took a photo of my view watching the police turn people around at the roadblock. I can't post that photo as it would reveal too much, but let's just say that when the road opened I was perhaps the 20th car through the checkpoint and heading up the canyon. Score!
It therefore took no time at all to pass through the chain check and speed up the canyon. When I rolled into the Wildcat parking lot at 9:15 I was perhaps the 20th car to arrive. This was gonna be good.
AmyZ was right behind me but Tony Crocker wasn't, even though he left my house at the same time as me. He was to follow me but instead ended up following the wrong car on I-215, so he didn't get off at the 6200 S exit as he should have. I gave him directions by phone and he was perhaps 100 yards away from where I was when the road opened, yet he didn't arrive at the hill until nearly 10am. Sorry, Tony -- no friends on a powder day.
In fact, I never connected with him all day. I kept calling his phone but it always went to voicemail -- I found out later that his phone battery had died. At one point I skied directly beneath him as he was riding Supreme. I screamed his name repeatedly from about 20 feet away but he somehow never heard me. Maybe his battery was dead too.
So instead AmyZ and I had everything to ourselves today. Skidog was off lapping Wildcat as we took our first few runs. The very first run featured something I've never skied before: a totally untracked, totally bottomless Sunspot. We just kept heading out the High T far enough to score another untracked line. Our deepest run didn't come until 2:30 p.m., and my very last turn of the day at 3 pm fittingly resulted in a face shot. It was really that good. Every single run featured untracked for nearly the whole vertical. Off the charts.
The road closed again after the morning crush, and folks largely left when the road reopened around 11 am. Shortly thereafter the road unexpectedly closed again, presumably because something avalanched naturally. Reopening time was "TBA." If I couldn't get to the office I'd just move my office to Alta. I had brought my work computer with me, and settled in to get some more work done in GMD before heading back out for a few afternoon runs. That's when they opened Supreme Bowl, and everyone who was there gravitated to Supreme. After one run there it was clear to us that we'd get better snow by heading elsewhere and against the crowd mentality...and it worked like a charm.
Awesome day. Period.
socal wrote:Regarding Tony's Monday morning QBing, if the point of the forums is to give skiers a sense of conditions so they know what to expect then let's be honest, his report of the day is probably more valuable to than gloating over an amazing day that only a local could find, right?

That's very true, actually. However, let's be clear: I'm not gloating. The Wasatch gets the credit, not me. I didn't talk to anyone today other than Tony who reported anything less than a stellar day.

Comments about Patagonia Low Rise Bootcut Jeans - 32" Inseam (Women's):
I have 2 pair of these jeans, one in each wash, and I wear them everyday. I could wear them for a week straight (with a belt) and they dont stretch out too much or get baggy. Everyone compliments the way my backside looks in them as well. They just feel great and are afforable for such a great product. My only complaint is that the dark wash must be washed with like colors once or twice before wearing or the dye might rub off on your leather shoes/purse/seats.

Those are pretty interesting. By the way, what programs use crypt for password encryption?
This did not seem to interest anyone on LNO, so since you guys are much more friendly, you will probably have something to say.
Ruby:Code:#!/usr/bin/env python import sys, crypt if len(sys.argv) < 3: print "Usage: %s <encrypted string> <dict file>" % sys.argv[0] sys.exit(1) secret = sys.argv[1] saltstring = secret[:2] f = open(sys.argv[2]) guess = None word = None while word != "": word = f.readline() guess = crypt.crypt(word, saltstring) if guess == secret: print "The password is:", word sys.exit(0) print "Could not find password in file", sys.argv[2]
This is a very basic implementation. I am planning to implement things like playing with the case of the word.Code:#!/usr/bin/env ruby if ARGV.size < 2 puts "Usage: #{$0} <crypted string> <dict file>" exit 1 end secret = ARGV[0] saltstring = secret[0,2] f = File.open(ARGV[1]) f.each_line do |x| if x.crypt(saltstring) == secret puts "The password is: #{x}" exit end end puts "No password found in #{ARGV[1]}"
Hint: These two programs could prove to be extremely useful if you are taking part of the www.hackerslab.org contest.
Those are pretty interesting. By the way, what programs use crypt for password encryption?
Old Unix boxes and little programs who need simple encryption.
I saw it when you posted on linuxnewbie.org and its a nice little piece of code. Unfortunately I cant really understand the meat of it because I have never used python. I know mostly c++ so I have a basic idea of how your programs works.

"These ended up being much smaller than i thought but maybe i didnt read the description well enough...super cute though!! I bought these as thank you notes for my son to give, i am obsessed with little boys & mustaches so they are a perfect design! :)"
"My son recently completed his Eagle Project and wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the success of his project. He picked the best pictures of the project and put them on the postcard. The final project was beautiful. This was an inexpensive way to thank everyone and for them to see how their contributions were spent."
"I ordered these cards for as informal thank yous for all the little things that people do for us over the course of the year. They are perfect for writing a short sweet note of thanks. Loved everything about the cards, they turned out great!"
"My vet helped care for my cat for 17 years and recently we had to put him to sleep. My vet seemed as upset as I was, but restrained himself for my sake. I wanted him to know how I appreciated all he has done and this card allowed me to put images of my cat from a kitten to old age. It also allowed me to write a beautiful tribute to my vet and his staff. Upon receiving the cards he was very moved. I was pleased beyond words. Thank you for this item."
"I love postcards and I love simple to the point cards. This card allows me to say exactly what I want upload the picture I want and say what I want on the back! What more could you ask for?"

This Sporting Life
1963. Great Britain. Lindsay Anderson. 129 min.
Friday, November 1, 2013, 1:30 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
This Sporting Life
1963. Great Britain. Directed by Lindsay Anderson. With Richard Harris, Rachel Roberts, Alan Bladel, Colin Blakely. Alongside colleagues Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson, Anderson was one the key figures in the British realist movement who had also been a film critic in his twenties (à la the French New Wave directors). This Sporting Life, his first feature after several award-winning documentaries, was one of the grittiest and most powerful films about athletes ever made. Later in his career, Anderson moved away from realism and wound up somewhat emulating the romanticism of his hero, John Ford, about whom he wrote a major book. 129 min.

David Ofumbi
David Ofumbi (MDiv 2008) came to PSR from Uganda, where he was ordained as a deacon and, in 1997, made a priest in the Charismatic Episcopal Church. He then attended Reform Theological College, in Kampala, where in 2000 he met visiting PSR musical director Aerie Lee and found out about the seminary. He applied and was accepted, and was able to come here because of financial help from the Chinese Community United Method Church, in Oakland, and scholarships from PSR.
"I came to PSR because of its emphasis on social justice," says Ofumbi. "In Africa, the majority of the people are disadvantaged. I came here with the question, How do you tailor a ministry to reach out to the majority of the poor and neglected? Central to what I learned at PSR is the importance of context, or social location, and the need to develop an appropriate theology that addresses particular problems.
"Before, I only knew spiritual renewal of the people; now I know that our actions create structures that disenfranchise people. And as much as we need to deal with individuals, we also need to deal with the systems and the structures. This knowledge has allowed me to develop my theology in a manner that benefits the people, that empowers them. I found that social justice is basically about empowering people so that they can learn what they can do for themselves. To me, that is the centerpiece of social justice. This school has helped me to know that the social, political, and economic structures matter, and that we must address all of them as well as the individual."

|Bambi: Look, don't touch, biologist says
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 05 June 2007 05:42
It's fawning season in North Carolina, and, as a result, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is urging people not to mess with fawns.
According to Commission biologist Evan Stanford, people see fawns left alone and wrongly assume they have been abandoned.
According to Stanford, does, female deer, often leave their young alone for a long period of time. It's not abnormal, he says.
If a fawn is clearly injured, people are encouraged to call the Wildlife Resources Commission at 919-707-0040. Don't try to keep it as a pet he says.
Making the wrong choice can have tragic results. Just last month in Lenoir a deer kept as a pet apparently escaped and wandered the highways, wreaking havoc for local police who found it unafraid of people. The only option was to tranquilize the deer, which resulted in its death.
Not only is it illegal to keep a fawn, it is also biologically irresponsible, Stanford says. His advice? Look. Don't touch.

SEWARD, Alaska - An Ogdensburg native is missing and presumed dead after he vanished during an extreme race on Mount Marathon.
Michael LeMaitre, 65, was last seen July 4 near the top of the 3,000-foot mountain, according to reports in the Anchorage Daily News. Searchers combed the mountain until mid-July, when Mr. LeMaitres family called off the search.
No trace of him has been found, Seward Fire Chief David Squires said Monday. He said although the official search was called off, volunteers continue to look for Mr. LeMaitre.
There are people going out on the mountain just about every day, he said.
Mr. LeMaitre lived in Anchorage and is a 1965 graduate of Ogdensburg Free Academy. A cousin, Mildred B. Dillenbeck, Ogdensburg, said he was well known and well liked.
Its bad enough when you lose someone, but when somebody just comes up missing you always have that wonder about what happened, she said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (NBC NEWS) -- Tuesday marked the tenth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the start of a war that still divides our nation.
President Obama pulled the final U.S. forces out, but the war is still taking its toll on veterans and their families, our federal finances and on Iraqis.
A wave of bombings in Baghdad marked the tenth anniversary.
Dozens died.
Before the first U.S. bombs fell ten years ago President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell made the case that Saddam Hussein was set use weapons of mass destruction.
The U.S. invasion was easy, but the occupation and reconstruction was not.
2003 to 2008 was a nightmare of roadside bombs and civil war, a hard lesson.
"If you go in and destroy a government and dismantle its army, you are responsible, at least for a while. And we went into Iraq without a real plan for how to stabilize the place afterwards," notes Brookings Institution Defense and Foreign Policy Analyst Michael O'Hanlon.
100,000 Iraqis died.
Nearly 4,500 Americans lost their lives.
Many tens of thousands more suffered permanent physical and emotional injuries.
Illinois Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, a chopper pilot, lost both legs.
She said Tuesday the war's not over for vets like her.
"We will be taking care of these men and women for the next 60 years," Duckworth said..
53% of Americans now feel it was a U.S. mistake to send troops to Iraq, although some still defend the decision.
"Saddam was in fact an extremely dangerous guy," argues war planner Douglas Feith.
Meanwhile, the debate rages on over whether the war made america more or less safe in the wake of 9/11.
