How We Taught This Lesson in the Past: Lesson 15: "Look to God and Live"
The current manual runs through several episodes of Israelite "murmuring" against the Lord and against Moses, and ends with the account of the call for the Israelites to life their eyes to the brass serpent on the pole, as a foreshadowing of lifting eyes to Jesus Christ on the cross – the lesson's stated purpose is to encourage class members to look to the Savior and the prophets for guidance. Earlier manuals took a more narrative approach, less moral driven (except when the moral was "don't complain."
The two lessons below covering the same ground come from a 1937 seminary text for high school students: J.A. Washburn, Story of the Old Testament (Salt Lake City: LDS Department of Education, 1937).
From Sinai to Kadesh
Note: A year had passed since the Israelites arrifed at Sinai. many things had been accomplished. The camps were well organized; the Ten commandments had been given; the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant were completed. when the people started again, they went in military order. The tribe of Judah was first and Benjamin last. the tabernacle, now taken apart, and the ark were carried by members of the tribe of Levi. In this lap of the journey, Sinai to Kadesh, not many incidents are mentioned, and strangely enough, they are only those which record complains and rebellions. surely, more cheerful things occurred.
Incidents Along the Way.
a. The Start from Sinai (Num. 10:11-12, 33-34). And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony. And the children of Israel took their journey out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. … And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went of the camp."
b. Complaint about the Food: Ungratefulness. (Num. 11:4-6, 13, 18, 20, 31-33). And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions and the garlic; but now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes … And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord's hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. … Say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; but even a whole month, until it … be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathereth least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
c. Complaints against Moses, the Lord's Anointed (Num. 12). (Retold Story). Miriam and Aaron complained against the authority of Moses, saying, "Hath the Lord indeed spoken only to Moses? hath he not spoken also by us?" "And the Lord heard it. Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth … And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he waid, 'Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall be beheld; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses'."
Miriam was stricken with leprosy, but through the prayers and pleadings of Moses she was healed though she had to remain outside the camp seven days according to the ceremonial law of Israel.
d. The Spies – Scouts Sent to Learn about the Land of Canaan (Num. 13:1-2, 17-21, 25-28, 30-33; 14:1-10, 26-33).
1. What the Spies Were to Look For. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain, and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strongholds; and what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and brine of the fruit of the land.' Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
"So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob." (20 miles north of the Sea of Galilee.)
2. The Return and Report. And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land and the cities are walled, and very great, (and they cried out against Moses).
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said: Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. but the men that went up with him said: We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying: The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof, and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
3. The Rebellion. And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them: Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in the wilderness! And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt/ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children in Israel.
4. Heroism of Joshua and Caleb. and Joshua … and Caleb, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes; and they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, the land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceedingly good land. if the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into that land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and money. Oh rebel not yet against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. But all the congregation bade stone them with stones.
5. Punishment for Their Rebellion. And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, … I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. Say to them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you; your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb … and Joshua … Bur your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in and they shall know the land which ye have despised (rejected) And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years. It was a year for each day the spies were gone.
Comments and Sidelights.
1. Game was scarce in the wilderness. There would be little or no grains or vegetables available for food, and the Israelites could not eat their domestic animals. They were comparatively few and were needed to stock their new homes in Canaan. No doubt the people did get tired of manna, but it was well adapted to their particular needs. They "lusted" for meat. Lust is an unnatural desire or craving. The whole incident suggests ingratitude or unthankfulness. In 1848 the Utah Pioneers had less than manna to eat, but there was no complaining.
Appreciation is a gem
which wisdom's voice will not condemn
As prized as emeralds or pearls:
Adorn, and wear both boys and girls.
Quails walk more than they fly. When migrating, they fly low near the ground. Being tired when they alighted, and in great numbers, they are easily caught. Note the greed suggested in this incident. The people must have eaten ravenously, stuffed themselves. they not only were unthankful, they lacked self-control and judgment. It is little wonder they were stricken with a plague.
2. David is called "A man after God's own heart" because he refused to harm or speak evil of the "Lord's anointed," or his superior officer. Miriam and Aaron were not so careful. The Lord doesn't strike us with leprosy or other physical plagues now when we find fault with those in authority, but no one can retain a strong spiritual vigor and health who does speak ill of the Lord's anointed.
3. Turn to the map now, and note that kadesh was very near the border of Canaan. It was not far from Beersheba and Hebron, the old homes of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. they were within a "stone's throw," as it were, of the end of their journey.
At Kadesh, Moses might have established headquarters and governed the tribes as they scattered over the country in search of pasture. the tabernacle would have remained there, and perhaps at regular periods all the tribes would assemble there. It is evident that they remained in Kadesh a long time.
Moses had been familiar with the desert and its people from Egypt to Kadesh, but he knew nothing of the country beyond. Sending the spies was indeed a wise thing. how else could they have known the nature of Canaan and its peoples? So did Brigham Young, a great modern leader and pioneer, in 1847.
The spies traveled the entire length of the land of Canaan. they returned with evidence of its fertility. The cluster of grapes was evidently a vine, or large branch. The report included what all agreed on, what the majority said (a false statement), and the true report of Joshua and Caleb.
They no doubt could have entered Canaan then and taken the land. But they were a nation of doubters. they had to remain in the desert forty years and all these doubters died off and a new generation had taken their place. It seems strange to us in these days of rapid travel that they could spend forty years in the wilderness. Considered any way, they could not have gone more than 500 or 600 miles, the distance from Salt Lake City to Denver. Of course they did not travel all the time. they remained at Kadesh and other steps many years at a time.
Questions and Exercises.
1. On the map, measure the distance from (a) Sinai to Kadesh, (b) Kadesh to Jerusalem, the way the spies went, (c) from Sinai to Jerusalem, the way the people finally traveled. give the number of miles in each case.
2. Pick out and read the expression in the text that shows ingratitude on the part of the people.
3. What in this lesson suggests that the people lacked self-control, self direction?
4. On what did all the spies agree? What exaggerations did the ten make? What did Joshua and Caleb say about it?
5. In the statement of the punishment, just who would and who would not get into the land of Canaan?
6. Why was the second generation better prepared than the older one to enter Canaan?
7. How may this forty years in the desert be called the "University of the Desert"?
8. what are the dangers that may come to one who speaks against those in authority over us?
The easy roads are filled with men
Who seek the smoothest ways:
A few there are who now and then
Are shown the rough road pays.
The heights are gained by those who climb
O'er crags and swim the streams;
A victory will come in time
Through work, but not through dreams.
From Kadesh to Jordan: Death of the Leaders
Note: The Israelites seem to have remained for years at Kadesh, on the very borders of Canaan. As stated before, only the discouraging incidents are recorded, the rebellions, deaths, wars, etc. There must have been occasions of rejoicing, socials, games, feasts. Otherwise, how could they have endured the heat and monotony of the desert? The Western Pioneers found relief in song, music, dancing, and religious gatherings.
From Kadesh they decided to go by way of the east side of the Dead Sea. This route was through the countries of the Edomites and the Moabites. They passed around the Edomites, but contacted the Moabites and other Bedouin people on their way.
Incidents from Kadesh to Jordan.
a. Water from the Rocks (Num. 20:1-2, 5, 7-8, 10-12). Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month; and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
And there was no water for the congregation; and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. And the people spake, saying: And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. … And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. …
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice; and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because he believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
b. Edomitees Refuse to Let Israel Pass (Num. 20:14-21). And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom: Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that has befallen us: how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we too dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers: and when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of thy wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders. And Edom said unto him: Thou shalt not pass b me, lest I come up against thee with the sword. And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet. and he said: Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. Thus Edom refused to give Israel passing through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
c. Death of Aaron. (Num. 20:22-29). And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because he rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah. Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there. And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. and when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even the house of Israel.
d. The Brazen Serpent (Num. 21:4-9). And they journeyed from mount hor by the way of the Red Sea, to compass the land Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
And the people spake against God and against Moses: Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our souls loatheth this light bread. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses: Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. and Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."
After passing around the Edomites they journeyed through the land of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. While they were encamped in the land of moab, Balak, king of the Moabites, was greatly afraid because of the multitude of the Israelites and sent to the land of the Euphrates for Baalam, a strange prophet, to come and curse Israel (Num. 22-24_. But in spite of Balak's attempts to stop them the Israelites, like a mountain of drifting sand, pushed on to the Jordan River, north of the Dead Sea. Here Moses left them.
e. Death of Moses (Deut. 31:1-3, 6-8; 34:1-5, 7-8). And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel, And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said … Be strong and of a good courage; fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, and the south and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. And the Lord said unto him: This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.' So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord …
And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
Comments and Sidelights.
1. In all the long life of Moses we have found nothing to criticize. We marvel at his patience to endure the murmurings and rebellions without complaint. A hundred times we fear we should have said, "Here now, ye rebels"; but Moses tried it only once. What seems a punishment here, after allo, must have been a blessing. Moses was old, and no doubt he was tired and weary from years of trials in the wilderness. It would have been no satisfaction for him to lead Israel across Jordan. And he said unto them, "I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in; also the Lord hath said unto me, 'Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.'" (Deut. 31:2).
2. Now look at your map, and note the change of direction on the journey. For lack of faith and loyalty they did not go straight not but Canaan. But even round east of the Dead Sea was not so far. But alas! the Sodomites were descended from Esau and the Israelites from Jacob. They were really distant cousins and they remembered the mess of pottage. The detour back by the Red Sea was indeed a trial. The terrible desert with its hot sands and poisonous serpents caused another rebellion. What an opportunity these people had to develop courage, self-control, and determination! There must have been some among them who were loyal to Moses and the Lord.
3. This is a strange funeral, don't you think? Criminals often knowingly walk to their death. But Aaron was a righteous man. It was all done in order as directed by the Lord. it was a case of a good man going to receive his reward for a life of service. There were no fears, no regrets, only happy expectations.
Those who have fainted in the glare of heat
Shall be at rest beside some cooling stream:
those who in darkness grasped their aching feet
Shall know the dawn-flush and sun's warm beam.
Born in a moment, at the heart's last beat,
To realms more perfect than they are to dream.
4. The brazen serpent is referred to by Jesus as a symbol of the cross. He said, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son o man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:14-15.) This strange object was kept until the days of King Hezekiah, 705 B.C. He destroyed it because people were worshiping it as an idol. (II Kings 18:4.)
5. What a strange and fascinating story! From the time water flowed from the rock Moses knew he could not enter Canaan. "Ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them," the Lord said to Moses. Now the time had come for him to leave his people. For forty years he had led them, endured their complaints, carried their burdens, but loved them still.
The multitude assembled to hear his last instructions – his farewell: "I can no more go out or come in," he said, "but the Lord and Joshua will go over before you. Fear not, be strong and of good courage. The Lord will not fail thee; neither forsake thee." then he reviewed their journey from Egypt to Jordan, reminding them of the Lord's mercies in their deliverance.
"If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments, … he will set thee on high above all nations of the earth," he promised. Everything a nation or people could desire was in their reach if only they would serve the Lord (Deut. 28).
Then he climbed alone to the top of mount Pisgah and saw with undimmed eyes the land of Canaan from Beersheba to Dan. to the north were the plains of Jordan which lot had chosen because they were well watered. Beyond Moab were the waters of the Dead Sea, and still further, in the upland, Salem, the home of Melchizedek, and Mount Moriah where Abraham had offered Isaac as a sacrifice. To the south were Hebron and Beersheba, the old homes of the patriarchs. Northward were Mounts Tabor, Gilboa, and Carmel, the valley of the Kishon, and Galilee where Jesus later stilled the tempest. At these places and a hundred others made sacred in the later struggles of Israel he saw.
"'This is the and,' the Lord said, 'which I swear unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob.' And Moses saw it all but did not enter Canaan, for he died there and was buried by the Lord in the valley of Moab, and "no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day."

binding angle question
Do riders that use positive binding angles, say +18 - +6 ride facing forward instead of trying to keep shoulders in line with board?
Only slightly more forward. 18 degrees isn't a whole lot. If your chest is facing the nose, you're probably doing it wrong.
I was just curious, I am a beginner and really fight hard to keep shoulders aligned with board. I currently ride +15, -6. I learned to ride from snowwolf videos on this site. I have to put my right arm behind my back to keep me from wanting to counter rotate. I didnt know if I changed my angle forward if I would not have to worry about my shoulders. I ride pretty well for an old guy so I wont mess with it.
Like Cifex said, the angle, even 18 (which is huge for a board) won't make you face forward any more than usual. Think of using your shoulder or lead hip to point where you're going and follow that. You can also look over your shoulder (while it's pointed straight down the mountain) like the sight of a gun to help keep your upper body aligned.
You square your body to your feet, so yes, you'll face more forward. My angles are 59/58, so I have a fairly forward facing stance. "Squaring up to the board edge" is just a result of common angles that square or duck the feet evenly across the board, and not the other way around.

It's been a week of ex-players reflecting and talking about the club. First Hleb told us how he wants Cesc at Barcelona (You Tosspot) and then he told us that Walcott is awesome (Cheers). Now it's Patrick Vieira's turn to talk and he's been talking about Cesc:
"The best midfielder I would say is Steven Gerrard. I really rate him as a player and as a man.
"I think Fabregas is learning every year. Now he is a top quality player. He is one of the best. In the years to come he can be at the top."
Of course, Cesc is the successor to Vieira, a legend in my eyes. Cesc has all the potential in the world to be the best player in his position. He's getting better physically and it's quite clear that when on form, he is the heartbeat of our team. He has a similar effect as Vieira had to the team.
Someone who many people would like to see play along side him is Aaron Ramsey. He's supposedly been man of the match as Wales drew 2-2 with England (England win 5-4 on aggregate), and scored a great goals. The reports read:
"But Wales hit back to make it 2-1 through a brilliant Aaron Ramsey 20-yarder and a Simon Church effort set up by rising young Arsenal star Ramsey."
Although I am yet to see the goal myself…!
Anyway, not much else going on… It's the England game tomorrow…
Come on Theo!]]>

President Ronald Reagan shakes hands with Pope John Paul II at Miami International Airport, Fla., on Sept. 10, 1987.
Jack from Pennsauken: Everybody talks about what a great President Ronald Reagan was. He is the reason for the demise of the middle class. All people have to do is watch the movie "Capitalism" by Michael Moore and know how bad a president Ronald Reagan was. Yet we haven't learned by our mistakes we're still electing the same people to Congress who are killing the middle class and helping the rich.
Sue from Woodbury: I'm watching the Oscars; I waited all week to watch it. I've watched about 45 minutes of it after the red carpet and it is thoroughly disgusting and disappointing. There is enough going on in the world without this singing about people's boobs. It is horrible.
Rick from Williamstown: On the president's anti-Second Amendment road trip he realizes he faces stiff opposition. Maybe just maybe that opposition is because the American public doesn't want it.
Dee from Glassboro: I can see you putting the opinion in Talk Back on your opinion page but I think you should give us the same half of page that we were always used to. It is something that we discuss at the bowling alley, at church and everywhere. So I really think you should rethink how you are going to put it on there because that doesn't seem like as much as we used to be able to read.
Jim from Williamstown: Does everybody understand the concept of a stop sign. Let me explain it to you. Stop means stop that means that the wheels stop rolling. It does not say to slow down and keep moving. If they wanted you to just slow down the signs would say slow down. It does not it says very clearly to stop. I suggest you all do that it just may save your life someday.
Don from Cherry Hill: According to the Second Amendment of the Constitution, everyone has a right to a weapon - a handgun and a rifle, no more. Also, I really like the Talk Back being put in the opinion page it really gives it more emphasis.
Paul from Collingswood: Hillary Clinton is a great secretary of state, are you kidding me? Could someone please tell me what she accomplished except for four dead Americans in Benghazi that happened on her watch because she didn't do her job? She will not go down as a great secretary of state.
Jersey Taxpayer: The residents of New Jersey have been getting the shaft for taxes all day long. Anybody that has lived here for any length of time has paid their fair share in taxes and beyond. It is a disgrace. I wish the governor would clean up some of this corruption that starts at the local level and runs right up through all the state. It's a disgrace the graft and the nepotism. Let's get it cleaned up so people can live here at a reasonable cost.

November 27, 2015
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman
has withdrawn from the U.S. Open because of tendinitis in his left wrist and elbow.
Immelman is the second player from the top 50 in the world to pull out of the U.S. Open, which starts Thursday at Bethpage Black. Robert Karlsson of Sweden withdrew last week because of an eye infection.
Immelman was replaced by Clinton Jensen, the first alternate from sectional qualifying in Florida.
Earlier this weekend, Dudley Hart withdrew and was replaced by Scott Lewis.

Special to the Standard
EXETER ŌĆō Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer does, in fact, have a very shiny nose. It is made of the largest size red gazing ball typically found on pedestals in flower gardens.
Since October, this particular deer, perched in a Large and In Charge fashion in the field next to Schartner Farm on South Country Trail, has had several incarnations. Made of huge bales of hay ŌĆō both rolled and rectangular ŌĆō it was a witch for Halloween and a Pilgrim for Thanksgiving.
The artist channeling his inner Rodin in a brown and crunchy medium is Dave Oliveira, who normally works in SchartnerŌĆÖs greenhouse. He also produces Hay Man, a figure that presides over the maze each autumn.
ŌĆ£I just look around and find things,ŌĆØ he says in describing the materials used in his creations which are extremely popular with drivers who stop to take photos. ŌĆ£The day we built Rudolph, every car that passed beeped the horn.ŌĆØ
Besides the gazing ball, RudolphŌĆÖs parts include tree branches serving as antlers, a red fabric scarf, huge black eyes made of trash bags wrapped around inverted coco shell hanging baskets and boots (boots?) fashioned from two rectangular hay bales wrapped in black trash bags.
Apparently, hooves are too difficult.
ŌĆ£Rudolph doesnŌĆÖt have an hourglass figure,ŌĆØ Oliveira laughs. After being used for two months and sitting out in all sorts of weather, the hay was turning into what-the-hay.
ŌĆ£There were only a few bales from the witch and they werenŌĆÖt good, so I filled in.ŌĆØ
It took an entire morning to position the big round bale thatŌĆÖs the head atop a vertical bale, wrapped in burlap to represent the torso; a band of natural hay made a belt. Finishing with the legs ŌĆō there are only two, but then RudolphŌĆÖs sitting up like a begging dog ŌĆō was a matter of pushing the two smaller bales into place.
There was a bow tie, adds Oliveira, but itŌĆÖs gone with the wind.

Texas Rangers prospect continues streak in Venezuela
Right-hander Keone Kela, a rising prospect for the Texas Rangers, continued his strong showing in the Venezuelan winter league playoffs on Saturday night.
Kela had his third consecutive scoreless relief appearance as Magallanes defeated Zullia, 2-1. Kela worked a perfect eighth inning and has retired all nine batters faced in the playoffs. He is also tied for the league lead in "holds'' during the playoffs with three.
Kela, 20, pitched at three levels of the organization last season, topping out in the low Class A South Atlantic League.
Magallanes leads the round-robin playoffs at 7-1.

Blues must keep Courtois – our new Cech in the making.
Chelsea's management staff are reportedly set to meet with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois this we...
Courtois arrived in London two years ago for a humble £5m from Genk and is widely touted in the English football betting world as Petr Cech's successor once our legendary goalkeeper hangs up his gloves. At just 20 years of age, Courtois has already earned a wealth of experience in Belgium and Spain and could be a Blues legend for a full decade should he continue his progress at such a young age.
Unfortunately, there are rumours he may be getting disenchanted with Chelsea's plans for his future and is set to demand a transfer away from the club this summer. This should not be allowed to happen if the Blues want a solid goalkeeper to replace Cech, for Courtois has all the ability to be the heart of our defence for years to come.
The stopper is in good form this season having kept 13 clean sheets in 24 appearances for club and country. He is vocal and communicates well with his defence, is a rangy keeper like Cech, and has the guts to wipe a player clean through when going for the ball.
No wonder he may feel he deserves a first-team place at a side he can call home, rather than being sent out on loan. Yet his situation is perfect for both Chelsea and the player. For unlike Carlo Cudicini, who wasted the vast majority of the latter stages of his career as a reserve on the Stamford Bridge bench, Courtois is applying himself and learning his trade while still being on our books.
Keeping Courtois and loaning him out is a real investment in the future and, instead of letting him rot in the reserves, the club management must agree to resolve any issues the Belgian international may have with his current situation.
Although it will probably cost us a larger contract, the investment is well worth it for a seasoned goalkeeper ready to join the first team in three or four years' time.

Oh, the embarrassment. I've shown y'all this photo of my bedroom a couple of times, but it doesn't get any easier. When I first moved into my first house, my "master" bedroom looked like this:
Luckily, it can really only go up (literally) from a lonely mattress on the floor. Ready to see what it looks like now?
Ta-da! Let's just say I'm not going back to the floor anytime soon. It all started with the center of any bedroom…the bed. I wanted one that reflected my home's '50s roots, and this Danish modern piece complete with a gray twill upholstered headboard fit the bill. To give the room a modern natural feel, I chose a warm gray wall color with yellow and turquoise accents. And, most importantly, the new digs are dog-tested-and-approved:
It already feels like a whole new space, but I'm not done yet. In the next few weeks, I'll share my progress on the room's finishing touches, like artwork, accessories and a bargain dresser makeover. 'Till then, sweet dreams!

Politics Counts
T don't think the president is struggling at all with what he says or wants to say.
In this partisan climate he is dang if he does, dang if he does not.
It is so disheartening how he is treated by far too many on every move he makes, every sound he utters.
He speaks poetically and meaningfully--- and I really don't know how he keeps his composure with how mean people are. A lot of us think he is wonderful in many ways, and maligned too often by those who would fit right like those mean cops down in Ferguson.

BEN 10, a new 30-minute sci-fi action/adventure series, premieres on Cartoon Network Jan. 13, 2006, at 7:30 pm, before moving to its regularly scheduled time and day, Saturdays at 10:00 am.
This animated adventure begins when Ben Tennyson, an average 10-year-old boy, who discovers The Omnitrix, a genetic tool that attaches itself to Bens wrist. The Omnitrix allows Ben to temporarily morph into one of 10 aliens while maintaining his 10-year-old personality. When Bens not saving the world as one of 10 superhero aliens, hes traveling the country with his Grandpa Max and Cousin Gwen for the summer.
BEN 10, created by Man Of Action (Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, Steve Seagle), has been given the greenlight for 26 half-hour episodes. The series is being produced at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, Calif.
The Omnitrix, a genetic weapon, allows Ben to morph temporarily into one of 10 alien heroes: Heatblast, Upgrade, Grey Matter, Stinkfly, Ghostfreak, Ripjaw, Wildmutt, XLR8, Fourarms and Diamondhead. Bens body temporarily transforms into one of these bizarre aliens, each with their own set of special abilities, but his mind stays the same, which can sometimes have a little trouble figuring out how to act like a superhero.
Each of the alien heros powers focus on one specialty: fire, strength, supernatural, geological, size, swimming, technology, athletic ability, flight or speed. Ben must determine which superhero alien is needed and when to activate it using The Omnitrix. The Omnitrix has a mind of its own and will accidentally choose a different alien than the one Ben picked, leading him into some difficult situations. The Omnitrix has many secrets that Ben will learn to unlock over time.
The Omnitrix is the most powerful weapon in the Universe and is sought after by an intergalactic bad guy, named Vilgax, who will stop at nothing to get it away from Ben.
Ben enjoys traveling with Grandpa Max, a good-humored and open-minded mentor who wants to put a little more excitement into his grandsons life by taking him on a cross-country summer vacation. Ben and Grandpa are joined on their road trip by Bens cousin Gwen, who is smart, level-headed and not exactly thrilled to be along for the ride. As the voice of reason, shes invaluable in times of chaos.
Bens main challenges are finding the best way to harness his power and making good decisions about when to summon his inner superheroes. Worldly and wise grandfather and shrewd cousin Gwen are there to keep him in check and bail him out of trouble when he needs it.
What kid doesnt want to be a superhero? And wouldnt being 10 superheroes be 10 times as cool? said Sam Register, Cartoon Network svp of development. BEN 10 will continue in the tradition that Cartoon Network has established of creating a new generation of superhero shows, like TEEN TITANS and JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED, for a new generation of kids. Its an undeniably original premise with amazing alien heroes and incredible villains.
The series features a retro design with rather thinly saturated colors, with almost a grainy texture.

Key Taliban leader reaches out to Malala
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A prominent Pakistani Taliban commander has written a letter to a teenage girl shot in the head by the group, expressing regrets that he didn't warn her before the assassination attempt that propelled her activism to the international stage.
The letter from Adnan Rasheed, however, didn't apologize for the October attack that left Malala Yousafzai gravely wounded. Rasheed, who has close relations with Taliban leaders, only said that he found the shooting "shocking" and wished it had not happened.
"You have said in your speech yesterday that pen is mightier than sword," Rasheed wrote in reference to Malala's speech on Friday at the United Nations, "so they attacked you for your sword not for your books or school."
Rasheed said the letter received by The Associated Press late Tuesday night expressed his own opinion, not that of the militant group. The AP spoke to another Taliban commander on Wednesday who confirmed the letter, written in English, was authentic.
Malala was 15 years old when she and two of her friends were attacked on their way home from school in Pakistan's northwest Swat Valley. The assassination attempt sparked worldwide condemnation. Malala celebrated her 16th birthday last week by giving a speech at the U.N. in New York, telling the body that the attack gave her new courage and demanding world leaders provide free education to all children.
Rasheed said the Taliban did not attack Malala because she was a proponent for girls' education but because she was critical of the militant group when it took over much of Swat in 2008 and 2009. That mirrors what some militants said at the time of the shooting.
Rasheed, who the Taliban broke out of prison last year, said the militants supported both boys and girls going to school as long as they received an Islamic education and didn't study what he called a "satanic or secular curriculum."
Malala wrote in a blog for the BBC at the time the Taliban controlled Swat about how many students moved out of the valley after the Taliban issued an edict banning girls from school.

Chauncey Billups settled down his teammates, then stepped up his game.
Billups scored 36 points and made a career-best eight 3-pointers in leading Denver to a 113-84 rout of the New Orleans Hornets, the second-biggest blowout in the Nuggets' playoff history.
Capitalizing on their first home-court edge in a playoff series in 21 years, the Nuggets nearly bested their previous biggest margin of victory, a 141-111 wallop of San Antonio back in 1985.
Billups sank four of his 3s in the third quarter, when the Nuggets began to turn a tight game into a laughter. At one point, they led by 34.

|Multifocal skin basal cell carcinomata 57 years after topical dry ice treatment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22458509 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We report a rare case of simultaneous multiple basal cell carcinomata occurring on the back of a patient who had received dry ice treatment to this area almost 6 decades previously. This is also one of the longest recorded disease-free intervals between skin trauma and basal cell carcinoma development. We discuss the aetiopathology of multiple skin cancers in our patient and the propensity for destructive skin events to predispose to malignancy.

MODUROOF® by Charcon provides a fast, safe means of roof construction perfect for time sensitive developments such as residential schemes and social affordable housing.
The innovative roofing solution is manufactured offsite under controlled factory conditions, ensuring a level of accuracy and build quality unmatched by traditional in situ methods. This type of construction offers many benefits including timely delivery of a ready to install roof, minimal onsite waste and improved health and safety by reducing the need to work at height.
Key Benefits
Cold Roof System
The MODUROOF® Light system is based on a standard fink truss (W) shell construction with insulation between the floor joists and rafters. Cavity spaces can be incorporated for mechanical ventilation, water tanks and storage.
The lean manufacturing process includes fitting of tiles, fascia and gutters as standard. Solar or PV units and other bespoke items can all be fitted during manufacture as required.
The roof design for a set of typical three bed, semi-detached houses combines four modules with gables either attached or made as separate pieces. This provides an instantly secure, durable roof with storage capacity.
Warm Roof System
The MODUROOF® Advance system features attic trusses and offers a conversion ready 'warm' roof. With this option, additional room space can be created at a later stage, thereby future proofing a development.
Offsite construction undoubtedly improves build speeds – single modules can be fitted in approximately two hours using the MODUROOF® patented lifting beam technology, and a complete roof of four modules in one day. An additional day is required for join lines to be felted and tiled using the patented Zip Joint system, and interior edges sealed and skimmed.
Illustrated section showing residential cold and warm internal roof structures and how both options can work for the same external design.
Time and Cost Certainty
As with all Charcon products, MODUROOF® is delivered just-in-time, helping project schedules to stay on track and minimising storage requirements onsite. In fact, using offsite methods can help make up lost time on program overruns and thereby avoid expensive counter charges.
MODUROOF® also reduces preliminary costs as its use results in less time onsite. Because modules are delivered ready to assemble, onsite storage costs and other ancillary overheads such as scaffolding and trades are significantly reduced or eliminated.
Health and Safety
The use of offsite components greatly reduces the risk of accidents onsite, particularly in the case of roofing and tiling. The Health and Safety Executive revealed that falls from height were the most common cause of fatalities in the workplace in 2011/2012, accounting for almost a quarter at 23%.
A prefabricated system such as MODUROOF® is built at ground level in a modern facility and positioned into place by crane, minimising the need for trades at height. It also eliminates risk of injury caused by repetitive lifting and handling or the use of heavy tools onsite.
Quality Assurance
All modules are factory engineered and undergo rigorous quality control checks. Clients can be assured of the high precision and consistency that comes as standard with offsite construction. Indoor manufacture also eliminates delays due to bad weather, a common problem on UK building sites.
MODUROOF® is produced using certified and sustainably sourced timber and reaches up to level four in the Code for Sustainable Homes as well as meeting all structural requirements as set out by Building Regulations.
Secure Transportation
MODUROOF® sections are designed for safe, escort free transportation by trailer to site. The finished modules are sealed up during delivery to protect the internal structure and finishes from the elements. Flexing is prevented through a patented removable bracing system.
Lift and Fix
Expert fitting is undertaken without damage or cracking to the structure's fixtures and finishes – such as skylights and tiles. Under the direction of a skilled installation team, a complete roof and waterproofed house can easily be achieved within two days.
MODUROOF® Bespoke

I published my app to Google Play and whenever I launch a new version, my app appears in the Manual Updates list. I want my app to appear in the Updates list and not Manual Updates.
How can I achieve that? What is the difference between Updates and Manual Updates on that list?

Re: What can the iPad be used for?
Sorry, I just don't get it. I mean, it was cool, for like the first 5 minutes, then it was just kind of annoying. The fact that it looked a bit nasty from a thousand hand/finger prints didn't help.
The games they had on it at the Apple store were just kind of annoying (one driving game looked cool at first, but got old quickly).
I tried the book-reader, and I had two major complaints - one, the screen is glowing, and I couldn't figure out immediately how to dim it, which is hard on the eyes (and the battery life), and two, I couldn't figure out how to hold it and flip the pages single-handedly - at least not easily. It is a bit heavy after a good while, which I guess is three complaints.
Beautiful, to be sure, but I'd never trust it to do more than casual web surfing (certainly would never "pay bills" like the iPhone commercial I saw today). If I was into facebook as much as my wife, maybe I'd be more enthused - but even she said she'd rather have an iPhone.
I have an iPod Nano for music and videos on -the-go, a Kindle for reading (it simply is much lighter, easier on the eyes, and easier to use), a blackberry for work/phone/email, and a laptop for serious Internet stuff. And I'm perfectly OK with those being separate devices.
I simply don't have a use for a $500 device that tries to do all of those things - but does none of them really well...
Make an iPad with an Intel I series processor, Anti-virus and firewall, that can switch to LCD reflective mode, is a lot lighter, and has some basic buttons, maybe.
It's a neat concept, and if they'd beaten the e-book readers to market, they might have cornered the market beforehand. But now, I just didn't see the point...

Re: What can the iPad be used for?
It isn't a complete laptop replacement, but for some people, it will be. For example, for me, it would completely replace my laptop when I travel because I use my laptop for A) being entertained on long flights - iPad check B) Surfing the Internet and checking email - iPad check C) Taking notes in meetings and or recording the audio - iPad check
I carry a small laptop around for all that, but honestly, it is too much for my needs, too bulky, as someone mentioned takes time to boot up and shutdown, have to set it somewhere like your lap where it is farther away, is heavier.
I like the format of iPad type devices, smaller, lighter, faster to get going on. It has all the features I need when I travel and will be easier to manage. iPhone could probably do the same stuff, but the screen is small, and honestly I'd prefer a bigger screen, like the iPad, but still have an easier to manage format than a laptop.
I'm not however closed minded to other devices in the same format as the iPad. HP has some good competition coming for the iPad, and I will look at that device as well and see which one suites me best. I do however love the 3G deal included with the 3G version of the iPad, I think it is a good value in terms of surf anywhere pricing. I love the idea of these tablets/slates though, and for me, I can see it replacing my notebook quite easily.

Re: What can the iPad be used for?
I agree that the iPad is not for everyone and maybe one day, a few versions from now it will be a laptop replacement. I'm glad you could add your voice to the debate and hopefully we can continue this way.
I also think that you can't judge anything by price alone, you have to judge it on value. To me, the iPad offers me a lot of value. Looking at all it does, in a small lightweight package that I can take pretty much anywhere.
I have built a couple of Keynote presentations on the iPad now. Two to be exact and while it was not as easy as using Keynote or Powerpoint on my Mac, if I had to do it while I was traveling I could.
More science, less fear.

Re: What can the iPad be used for?
Crazy, I know, but that one design change, if the price point could be equal, suddenly makes this a virtual no-brainer for the e-Book market. To go from $200-$250 to $500 for a larger screen and all the extra internet capability, is a pretty good deal. Still needs a copule of buttons - a least on the e-Ink side.
I still fret over internet security on these types of devices, but video playback and basic web services would make that suddenly a lot more interesting...

I don't think they're in any shipping products yet, but Pixel Qi has been ramping up their production lines so hopefully soon. Essentially it's an LCD/e-Ink hybrid... when the backlight is on, you get a full color LCD. When it's off, you get black and white, low-power e-Ink.

Re: What can the iPad be used for?
One why do people make arguments that they can't see spending $500 (and change) for something that is a passive media device. Do we not already do just that, and have done that for decades. It's called television and they are in more homes then computers. Hell we had VCR, then DVD players, and cable boxes, then DVR's and Blu-Ray players all for having a stable media device.
So clearly there is absolutely a market, a vast one at that. That is geared to being a fully passive video device.
I love mine (with very few quibbles). I have read several books now and have had no problem (one quibble is in direct sun light, ie if you read outdoors, it works poorly, but thats something I don't do outdoors) and have not been bothered at all by weight (again I have several large books that weight more then the ipod).
Internet as mentioned above is avery beautiful thing, but it isn't what eats the most of my time.
Video isn't perfect (no 1080, but 720) and the ability to take with me a vast selection of video and get into almost any position (sorry no laptop can do this) worth a screen large enough to make the viewing experience enjoyable (unlike phone/ a large mp3 players). One that I can easily use in bed at night with my boyfriend and not disturb each other, and both fit on the bed (this was a problem with laptops, even our net books taking up to much room).
Comics, simply put I would have bought it just for this. I have half a TB of digital comics that I love being able to fully access and enjoy.
My best friend is using it for children books (the color something quite common in books for children) and screen quality really are a joy. And on the go so much easier for story time (in the car, waiting for the other kids fits easily in a her purse and allows a variety in the amount of space one book would take).
It truly is a great all around mobile media device, in a way that laptops aren't. And on the media device side it has one vast, vast advantage that has nothing to do with its mobility or weight. And thats it's exceptional battery life. I mean to watch the Theatrical cuts of the Lord of the Rings and not have to recharge or be wired in, is simply not possible on any laptop I have seen.
I have yet to travel with this, but clearly as a mobile media device its ability to nail so many forms of media and do it for such a long period of time and in such a small (yet still large enough to be enjoyable) should be a huge boon for travelers, and packing.
Now to another quibble, the lack of camera's. Personally I hate cameras. Don't use them on my phone, don't use them on my computers, just don't use them. And I certainly don't see the need for one to really be used to take photos. But I can understand for people who like to video conference (I have a coworker who's only means of seeing her family is this form of communication) and in that regard I do hope they eventually add this.
Quibble #3 is being addressed and according to news reports will work on the first versions of the Ipad (which is nice thank you), and thats multitasking. Not a huge issue for my use, as it does allow my primary multitasking music and reading already, but it is still something that is needed and should be up very soon.
Quibble #4 If you are a huge video watcher from the net as opposed to owning your own media (my personal preference) then its forever lack of flash is limiting. But this hardly ever effects me. But everyone is different on this issue. And for many this can be a huge factor.
Games, while the games on the Ipad so far are far, far superior to the products for the iphone, they aren't going to replace console or Computer games. But they kick the crap out of any portable game system I have seen. But this is something that I not that into (my boyfriend is far, far more the gammer then I will ever be).
And for those who are looking for something to fully replace your laptop, this isn't it. For starters it isn't supposed to as it needs a home computer (laptop or desktop to act as its hub).
But to expect it to, seems illogical to me. When laptops first came out, how long did it take to get laptops that were cheaper and did everything as well as desktops? I don't even know if we are there now and laptops have been out for many, many years.
Another often mentioned complaint is that the device isn't geared for being a creative platform, but one of consumption. Which isn't 100% true but it is geared more for consumption then creation.
But I don't see that as being much of a limiting factor as most of the computer use in the US is consumption and not creative.
But it is a luxury item (as all media devices and computers devices are).
For me and my boyfriend we both loved it enough that we ordered are 2nd one today. And neither of us are exclusive Apple consumers as we both have computers both from apple and others, mp3 players from apple and others, and only one of us has had an iphone. In fact its the first apple product that we both immediately fell in love with.

Remembering the UCA Martyrs
Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Today, November 16, we commemorate the six Jesuits, their housekeeper and her daughter who were killed at the University of Central America (UCA) in El Salvador on this day in 1989. We join with the Ignatian family around the world to recall their deaths as martyrs and to honor their lives. They spoke truth to power in service to the tormented and oppressed people of El Salvador. With the "crucified people," they struggled for justice and they died true to that mission. The white crosses with their names stand in their memory in front of the Mission Church.
One of their companions, Jon Sobrino, S.J., received the St. Clare Medal in their honor in 2009 and reminded us: "The martyrs, more than anyone else, show us the way to go. They're the ones who push us the hardest to follow Jesus." Fr. Sobrino challenged us, as a university, to live up to the legacy of these eight committed people, to "help free people from every kind of oppression—that is, to take the crucified people down from their crosses. If the university doesn't make this its priority, it can be a center of knowledge, along with others, and more or less competent and competitive, but it won't be a university of Christian inspiration."
This anniversary is especially poignant with the recent death of Dean Brackley, S.J., who volunteered in 1990 to go to El Salvador to continue the work of the UCA martyrs. Dean welcomed SCU faculty, staff, and students who traveled to El Salvador on immersion delegations. He also taught SCU students at our Casa de la Solidaridad in San Salvador.
Today we honor the martyrs for the depth of their sacrifice – a sacrifice they made to help bring forth a world freed from injustice and redeemed with compassion and mercy. As a community, let us keep their memory alive in our thoughts, prayers and actions. May they rest in peace.
Michael E. Engh, S.J.

ENDA to Be Reintroduced in Congress
Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank announced on Wednesday, March 30, he plans to reintroduce a bill that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression in the workplace.
Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-Fla.], gay Congressmen David Cicilline [D-R.I.] and Jared Polis [D-Colo.] and lesbian Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin [D-Wis.] are among the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act's more than two dozen co-sponsors. Frank conceded it is highly unlikely that the GOP-controlled House will pass ENDA during this Congress, but he stressed to activists who attended the Capitol Hill announcement that they need to begin to lay the groundwork for ENDA's eventual passage--which he predicted would happen sometime over the next four to six years--now.
"The essential part of it is that people do the lobbying now," said Frank.
Congressman George Miller [D-Calif.] echoed Frank's call for LGBT activists and their allies to lobby members of Congress to back the measure. "We see a pool of hard-working people who are discriminated against--almost instantaneously," he said. "Very successful people can be harmed dramatically and instantaneously in their workplace."
Frank introduced an identical measure in 2009, but it failed to move out of committee.
Some LGBT activists were angry that the repeal of the military's ban on openly gay and lesbian service members took priority over ENDA in Congress' lame-duck session late last year. President Obama signed the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal bill into law late last year, but Frank stressed it was unrealistic to expect Congress to simultaneously act on DADT and ENDA.
"There was no chance to both of those," he said, noting ENDA did not have the necessary 60 votes in the U.S. Senate-the Senate voted 65-31 in December to repeal "don't ask, don't tell". "That's what dictated what we did. You can't do everything at the same time."
Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, applauded Frank.
"NCTE will continue to educate and fight, educate and fight until these desperately needed protections are law," she said. "This year, we need to make sure every member of Congress has met transgender people from their districts, has heard personal stories, and understands why passing ENDA is really a matter of life and death for so many people."
Michael Silverman, executive director of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, agreed. "In an already difficult economy, transgender Americans face the added threat of being fired or passed over for a job just because of who they are," he said. "We urgently need ENDA in these difficult economic times to make sure that qualified, hardworking transgender Americans can get jobs to support themselves and their families."
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, also framed ENDA in economic terms.
"ENDA reflects our shared value that what matters in the workplace is how you do your job, not who you are," said Solmonese. "While debate remains about how to best solve our country's economic woes, varied interests from large corporations to organized labor agree that ENDA is critical to our economy."
Bank of America, Clear Channel Communications, Deutsche Bank, Time Warner, Microsoft and Nike are among the corporations that have endorsed ENDA.
R. Clarke Cooper, executive director of Log Cabin Republicans, told EDGE he remains hopeful GOP lawmakers would respond favorably to the economics behind ENDA. "We're going to talk about the economy, the economic incentives that are there," he said.
