Laing Nets Two in Princeton's 4-1 Win Over Rensselaer
Box Score
PRINCETON (12/6/13) – Princeton women's hockey snapped a winless streak Friday, Dec. 6 at Hobey Baker Rink with a 4-1 victory against Rensselear. The win moves the Tigers into a tie for fourth place in the 12-team ECAC.
"Even though we lost last weekend against the top-ranked team in the country at Minnesota, the speed was so fast it prepared us well for today," Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal said.
Indeed, the Tigers came out skating fast in the first period and took a 1-0 lead just 2:04 into the contest, despite an early penalty. While on the penalty kill, senior forward Denna Laing scored in front of the net off an assist from Olivia Mucha.
Laing's finish was Princeton's fourth short-handed goal of the season. No other ECAC team has more than one short-handed goal.
"That short-handed goal was huge," Kampersal said. "We've been trying to crash the net and create traffic. That's exactly what Denna did there. She had a great game for us."
Though the Engineers rallied to tie things up, 1-1, midway through the first on an unassisted Mari Mankey goal, the Tigers closed out the opening session with the edge.
With less than three minutes until the first intermission, junior defender Ali Pankowski blasted a shot on frame from the blue line. The puck deflected off a Rensselear (6-9-1, 3-4 ECAC) skater before sophomore center Jamie McDonell put it away for what would prove to be the game-winner.
Princeton (6-6-2, 5-4-1 ECAC) outshot Rensselear 12-3 in the first period on its way to a 2-1 lead.
"I saw Ali get set for a one-timer and I just braced myself," said McDonell, who, like Laing, now has four goals this season. "I think we really set the tone in the first period and stuck to our game plan from there."
Neither side mustered much offense in the second period. It wasn't until the middle of the third period that Laing scored from in front again to give the Tigers a 3-1 advantage. Later in the final session, Mucha capitalized on an empty-net situation to expand Princeton's lead to 4-1 with only 1:41 remaining.
Meanwhile, junior goaltender Ashley Holt - in only her second start of the season - made 15 saves, including a few from point-blank range. Holt's counterpart, Kelly O'Brien, stopped 26 Tigers shots.
"This is a big weekend for us to build up momentum before our break," Kampersal said. "Tomorrow's game against Union will be just as important."
Princeton finishes the 2013 portion of their schedule Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m., against Union (5-10, 2-5 ECAC) at Hobey Baker Rink. Skate with the Tigers follows the contest.

Whew…That Was Close
Whew…the Twins managed to avoid a sweep today at the hands of the Tigers thanks to another solid outing from Carl Pavano and some much-needed clutch hitting (that didn't produce too many double plays).
With pretty much the entire rotation struggling at this point, Pavano took the rotation on his back and turned in 7.2 IP while allowing just three earned runs. Heck, he even managed to keep Miguel Cabrera from completely destroying us!
Multi-hit games from Young, Cuddyer (who is finally starting to hit the ball again), and Kubel allowed the M&M-less offense to come out on top.
This was a big win for the Twins, as heading into the break three games back is much better (if only psychologically) than five.
-Justin Morneau, due to his lingering concussion symptoms, will not start in the All-Star game (or play whatsoever) on Tuesday night. Cabrera will start the game, while Paul Konerko of the White Sox has been added to the roster.
-Sad news today in hearing that longtime Yankees PA announcer Bob Sheppard passed away today. I know that he hadn't been doing the PA for a few years now, but his recorded broadcast still introduces Derek Jeter to this day. Younger fans may not remember the name, but the voice will likely be familiar.
Preview: Home-Run Derby! Here are this year's participants:
National League: Chris Young (Diamondbacks), Corey Hart (Brewers), Matt Holliday (Cardinals), Hanley Ramirez (Marlins)
American League: David Ortiz (Red Sox), Nick Swisher (Yankees), Miguel Cabrera (Tigers), Vernon Wells (Blue Jays)

Myliobatis hamlyni
|Scientific Name:
|Myliobatis hamlyni
|Species Authority:
|Ogilby, 1911
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|There has been confusion in the past with other tropical Myliobatis spp. which has not been clearly elucidated. Due to the lack of available material sexual and ontogenetic dimorphism has not been clearly defined in the literature.
A similar but distinct species (from M. hamlyni) exists off Western Australia, with known records from southwest of Shark Bay (26°47'S, 112°35'E) and from off Forestier Island (20°35'S, 117°46'E). This was referred to as M. hamlyni in Last and Stevens (1994) but these specimens are not conspecific with this species.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(v); C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Kyne, P.M. & Last, P.R.
|Compagno, L.J.V. & Fowler, S.L. (Shark Red List Authority)
A highly distinctive, poorly recorded eagle ray known from only a handful of specimens off the eastern Australian coast. Recorded from depths of 117-330 m, this species appears unique amongst Myliobatis spp., which are generally inshore species whereas M. hamlyni is a deeper shelf and upper slope species. It also appears to be individually dispersed and not aggregating like some other Myliobatis spp. The biology of the species is completely unknown, but it is likely to share life history characteristics with other myliobatids including relatively low fecundity. Demersal trawl fisheries operate off southern Queensland and New South Wales (NSW) where the species has been recorded. Fishing pressure is high across most of the NSW outer shelf and upper slope and myliobatid rays are highly susceptible to trawl gear. In contrast, fishing pressure in the area where the Coral Sea specimen was taken is low, but this area has been reasonably surveyed and only the single specimen has been recorded. In fact, despite extensive survey work and consistent fishing activities along the east coast of Australia this species is rarely encountered. Subsequently, it appears to be an extremely rare species and as a precautionary measure (even though comprehensive population data do not exist) the species is assessed as Endangered given its inferred very low population size, fragmented distribution, limited available habitat (habitat at depth range is not broad) and ongoing fishing pressure in the southern part of its range where most specimens have been recorded.
|Range Description:
|Restricted to eastern Australia. References to the species off Western Australia represent a separate species. Available habitat may be small, as its presently known area of occurrence on the outer shelf and upper slope is not a broad area.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (Queensland)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Pacific – southwest; Pacific – western central
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Known from only a handful of specimens (15 individuals). Population sizes unknown but this species appears to be extremely rare. If it was more common it would certainly have been taken more regularly as much of its area or occurrence is heavily fished. Given the high levels of fishing on the NSW outer shelf and upper slope and off southern Queensland it is possible that this species was affected early on by fishing activities and now we are seeing only a depleted population. This is however, speculation but in any instance this is a naturally rare species. Of 13 specimens taken by the NSW Fisheries research vessel Kapala, nine were collected at the beginning of surveying (1976 to 79) while four were collected in the later years of surveying (up until 1997) (K. Graham pers. comm).
Myliobatis australis (and other congeners) are aggregating species, where multiple individuals are taken in single trawls. This is not the case with M. hamlyni, so it appears that it is individually dispersed and not an aggregating species.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Benthopelagic on the outer continental shelf and upper slope, recorded from depths of 117 to 330 m (museum records and K. Graham, pers. comm.). Attains at least 48 cm DW (Last and Stevens 1994). Swains Reef specimen is 44 cm DW and was taken at a depth of 210 to 220 m (Kyne et al. 2005). Nothing known of its biology, however, it is suspected to have low fecundity as with other myliobatids, for example Aetobatus narinari and Aetomylaeus nichofii, which bear litters of up to four (Last and Stevens 1994, Compagno and Last 1999).
Life history parameters
Age at maturity (years): Unknown.
Size at maturity (total length cm): Unknown.
Longevity (years): Unknown.
Maximum size (disc width): At least 48 cm DW.
Size at birth (cm): Unknown.
Average reproductive age (years): Unknown.
Gestation time (months): Unknown.
Reproductive periodicity: Unknown.
Average annual fecundity or litter size: Unknown.
Annual rate of population increase: Unknown.
Natural mortality: Unknown.
|Major Threat(s):
Appears to be an extremely rare species. Area off Cape Moreton where holotype found receives relatively significant levels of trawling for eastern king prawn by the Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery (ECTF). Second Queensland specimen (Swains Reef, Coral Sea) collected from champagne lobster trawl bycatch. This area is subject to only very low fishing pressure. Area of occurrence off NSW is subject to heavy trawling activity and has been for a considerable number of years.
Despite many decades of survey work along the east coast of Australia, M. hamlyni has rarely been observed. This suggests a low population size and that the species is naturally rare or that it is somewhat avoiding fishing gear. Given experience from inshore congeneric species, Myliobatis species are susceptible to trawling and so it can be inferred that the first option is likely.
|Conservation Actions:
Any captures of this rare species need to be documented. In the first instance State fisheries authorities and fishers need to be made aware of this species and its precarious situation. Education for safe release of the species after recording of basic information (location, depth, size, sex, maturity) is a priority.
The use of Turtle Exclusion Devices in the Queensland ECTF may assist in limiting catches in that part of the species' range.
The effective implementation of the Australian National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks (Shark Advisory Group and Lack 2004) (under the FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks: IPOA-Sharks) will help to facilitate the conservation and sustainable management of all chondrichthyan species in Australia.

Baltimore County News
by Chip Hiebler, IT Senior Project Manager
Baltimore County Office of Information Technology
In fleet management, just like real estate, it's all about "location, location, location." Recently, the Baltimore County Office of Information Technology installed a fleet tracking system on all County owned vehicles. With its extensive tracking and mapping capabilities, this system pinpoints the exact locations of County vehicles, allowing work crews and managers to be more efficient in responding to calls for service and to identify the most expeditious routing of job locations. This improved management of agency operations also cuts fuel costs and emissions, helping to reduce environmental impact.
The system provides a Garmin GPS unit in each vehicle, allowing dispatchers to send service calls and messages directly to drivers. The driver can directly respond to service calls, reporting back when they have accepted and completed assigned jobs. The system's turn by turn directions reduce fuel costs by helping drivers take the most direct route and avoid getting lost.
By using NexTraq's mapping capability, dispatchers can see their entire fleet's location and assign jobs to the nearest mobile employee. The system also provides route planning that will automatically optimize a list of locations or jobs into the shortest and most expeditious route, resulting in a savings of both time and money. As you can imagine, this is a huge time-saver whether the employee is an animal control officer, a code enforcement inspector, a Highways crew chief, a CountyRide driver, a fire marshal, a public health nurse, an emergency medical technician, a computer specialist or a solid waste collection supervisor. The list and the benefits go on. But let's take a quick look at some of the key savings for taxpayers:
October 2011 (Pre GPS) – County vehicles drove 613,737 miles
October 2012 (Post GPS) – County vehicles drove 493,463 miles
Savings – 120, 273 fewer miles/ month
$8,300 saved in monthly fuel cost
$100,000 annual fuel savings
Yes indeed, that's a lot of money, but the system is about more than saving money in fuel costs. For example, agencies can see a direct benefit by using the system to streamline their existing business processes for employees in the field, better utilizing existing resources. Agencies can also use GPS to keep track of mobile assets, track vehicle locations and create detailed reports that can help reduce costs.
The system alerts County managers if a particular vehicle is idling for too long, is speeding or is inactive for an excessive period of time. Monitoring these alerts allows agencies to manage and address any such driver issues and to easily monitor unauthorized vehicle use.
This GPS fleet tracking system is just one more example of County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's mandate that County agencies use technology to improve customer service and save taxpayer dollars by working more efficiently. Now, ladies and gentlemen start your engines.

From buffs, hobbyists, and armchair flag officers to the highest levels of the military, government, science, journalism, exploration, and entertainment, a vast number of personalities have been members, written for Naval Institute publications, and participated in its events.
The Founding
The Institute, said to have been conceived by Civil War veteran and future Naval Academy Superintendent Commodore Foxhall Parker, convened its first meeting on Thursday, 9 October 1873, more than 11 years after novel steam-powered ironclads rendered wooden sailing ships obsolete. A group of 15 naval officers assembled by Lieutenant Charles Belknap met that evening in the Academy's Department of Physics and Chemistry building, literally on the banks of the Severn River on the outskirts of Annapolis, within sight of Maryland's wooden Capitol dome.
Here may be a good place to dispel two long-held myths: one, that the organization serves and always has served only the highest-ranking officers of the sea services; and two, that the purpose of this first meeting was to discuss how the Navy was going to cope with a depleted and deteriorating post-Civil War Fleet. Rear Admiral John L. Worden (pronounced WERE-den)—skipper of the USS Monitor during her epic battle with the CSS Virginia in the 1862 Battle of Hampton Roads—presided over the first meeting. But the bulk of the group consisted of commanders, lieutenant commanders, lieutenants, a Marine captain, a chief engineer, a medical director, and a pay inspector.
So anyone who thinks the organization's foundation was top-heavy with flag officers should think again. And today, the Institute is still not controlled by top leadership—or anyone else. In fact, it strongly encourages membership and participation in its independent forum from all ranks—active duty and retired—as well as civilians with something constructive to offer.
As for their deep concerns over the supposedly shameful state of the Fleet, the members of this first group may have felt such anxiety, but it wasn't addressed in the October meeting, at least based on what we know to be the topic of the first presentation.
These naval servicemen entered into a lively discussion, it is said, after Commodore Parker's reading of his paper, "The Battle of Lepanto," a lengthy discourse on the 1571 battle at the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth between galleys of the Holy League coalition (also known as the Christian Fleet) and Turkish Muslim galleys. It was a performance for which the commodore received, according to the minutes of that first meeting, "a vote of thanks" from those assembled. What this might have had to do with the sorry state of President Ulysses S. Grant's Navy is a mystery.
But, happily for those who believe the Institute's founders had more lofty ambitions than reading history papers to each other, it didn't take long for the group to take up the future of the Fleet. For the next meeting in November, Captain Stephen B. Luce traveled from Boston to read his hastily prepared paper, "The Manning of our Navy and Mercantile Fleet," meeting head-on the issue of charting a course for the nation's maritime interests.
Captain Luce's argument for apprentice training in the Navy and Merchant Marine was so strong that his was the lead article in Volume I of The Papers and Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute , what we know today simply as Proceedings . Publication of this article led to congressional legislation in favor of Merchant Marine training, a naval apprentice program, and the 1875 opening of the first state maritime school on the USS St. Mary's in New York City.
Just in its first year, the Naval Institute was making its presence felt, and it does so to this day, not only in its magazines, but in its books as well. Since 1898, the Naval Institute Press has been producing texts used by naval personnel to learn everything from shiphandling to knot-tying, while also getting into the realm of popular history, biography, and fiction. Contrary to what some may think, The Hunt for Red October —endorsed as it was in the mid-1980s by President Ronald Reagan and thus making it a runaway success—is not the all-time Naval Institute Press best-seller.
That honor goes to a handy pocket-size book currently in its 23rd edition, The Bluejacket's Manual [12] , a primer on uniforms, weapons, ranks, rates, and other essential arcana for all naval personnel, from seaman to admiral. First written by Lieutenant Ridley McLean, this guide was first published in 1902, four years after the Naval Institute's Board of Control authorized the publishing of books "on naval and allied subjects."
The Press issued its centennial edition of The Bluejacket's Manual in 2002. Much has changed in the century since the first edition was published, including the tone, says retired Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Cutler, currently in charge of updating the book's text. "I guess because it was assumed Sailors were going to misbehave, the tone was very pedantic," he says, "like a parent disciplining a child." Because changes need to be made frequently to this "Sailor's bible," especially as technology accelerates, the Press usually prints the book twice a year and distributes it to every Sailor joining the Fleet.
Among the luminaries associated with the Naval Institute in the past were future Admirals Ernest King, Chester Nimitz, and Hyman Rickover, who wrote for Proceedings as junior officers. And over the years, a few other legends became involved.
Among them was the irascible Captain Joe Taussig, an editor of Proceedings and secretary-treasurer of the Naval Institute who had his leg shattered at Pearl Harbor but stayed at his battle station and continued firing on attacking Japanese aircraft. A Navy Cross recipient for his actions that day, he went on to be a red-tape-cutting champion for safety at sea.
But he was perhaps best known here at the Institute for his biting wit, referring to Navy and Marine jet pilots as "nasal radiators," and penning for Proceedings such hilarious gems as "My Life with the PIMPs," his tirade against the Navy's Productivity Improvement Programs (PIMPs), "through which upper-level managers further screw up already screwed up organizations by trying to unscrew the inscrutable." The Naval Institute's Executive Suite is named after Captain Taussig.
Then there was Rear Admiral Kemp Tolley, legendary for his naval exploits in China, Indonesia, and Australia (detailed in his Naval Institute Press books, Cruise of the Lanikai [13] and Far Yangtze Station [14] ) and for his work as a naval intelligence officer in Stalin's Russia (the topic of his book, Caviar and Commissars [15] ). Admiral Tolley, who wrote dozens of articles for Proceedings , was well-known among the Naval Institute staff for other things, most notable among them being his photographic collection of women he had met in his world travels, which he used to illustrate his always unpredictable newsletter, the China Gunboatman .
And what article about the Naval Institute can ignore the contributions of Captains Edward L. Beach, Sr. and Jr.? While the senior Captain Beach was a veteran of the Spanish-American War and World War I, he was also a prolific author, having written 13 novels about Sailor life. But it was his son, Edward Jr.—Ned to his friends—who had the most impact on the Naval Institute.
A World War II Navy Cross recipient and the author of several books, the most widely known being the submarine saga Run Silent, Run Deep [16] (later made into a movie with an all-star cast headed by Burt Lancaster and Clark Gable), Captain Beach was a tireless supporter of the Institute. The organization's headquarters bears the name Beach Hall in honor of father and son, warriors and authors, the embodiment of the Institute's sword-and-quill insignia.
Legends aside, the most potent participants in the Naval Institute's Independent Forum have been Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Merchant Mariners who wrote and continue to write about things that concern them. These have not been professional writers. But they are the ones—the pilots, the ship drivers, the equipment handlers, the ones with first-hand experience—who possessed what long-time Proceedings Editor-in-Chief Fred Rainbow called "the passion to make it happen."
Many writings published by the Institute have had a major impact on submarine warfare, surface-ship design, Marine Corps warfighting doctrine, naval aviation, and the use of technological advances to best naval and maritime advantage. These are only a few innovative topics to have been discussed in its magazine and book pages and on its conference stages.
Occasionally, the Naval Institute has had a purely unintentional but nonetheless significant impact. For example, in an interview with Naval History in 1994, mostly about his coverage of the Normandy invasion 50 years earlier, newsman Walter Cronkite, often described as "the most trusted man in America," recalled that an article in Proceedings inspired what he called "one of the best shows we ever had on The Twentieth Century ," his popular television series that aired from 1957-67.
In December 1960, Proceedings published a piece by former Imperial Japanese Navy Ensign Takeo Yoshikawa, with Marine Lieutenant Colonel Norman Stanford, about Yoshikawa's top-secret assignment to spy on the movement of ships at Pearl Harbor prior to the Japanese attack. Every day he went to a Japanese tea house overlooking the harbor and soon noticed a pattern: The ships would leave every Monday and return every Friday. Consequently, he was certain most would be in port on Sunday morning, 7 December 1941. And they were.
The article at first drew little attention. According to Mr. Cronkite, "Nobody else picked it up, except a bright-eyed guy who worked for us. He brought the clipping in from Proceedings , and we went right to Japan." Producers for the program found Yoshikawa and persuaded him to return with them to Pearl Harbor and to the tea house where he had spied on the Pacific Fleet, promising they would keep his visit secret. But according to Mr. Cronkite, after Yoshikawa had a few drinks one evening, "the local clientele found out who he was, and we barely got him out of town before the lynching." If he hadn't told us, we would have never known.
The reputation of the Naval Institute invariably seems to precede us. When Naval History went to interview former Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee about his service in Fletcher -class destroyers in World War II, the first thing he asked was, "What is your relationship with the Naval Institute Proceedings ?"
Appearing as the dinner speaker at a banquet during one of our Annual Meetings here in Annapolis in 1995, Herman Wouk—author of such classics as The Caine Mutiny , The Winds of War, and War and Remembrance —opened his address with a tribute to the cachet associated with the Institute: "I was signing books today at the Naval Institute's bookstore, something I haven't done in 30 or 40 years. . . . I must have signed 100 copies of the Naval Institute's special edition of The Caine Mutiny , and I was thinking to myself, well, after all, here is sure immortality for a work of fiction."
From the Highest Levels
One life member and past Proceedings author is former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell, who among other things lent his name to the first of the Institute's Joint Warfighting Essay Contests. When General Powell was chairman, a naval officer was charged with marking up publications that contained material he thought the general should read. On the officer's first day, he pasted notes all over the latest copy of Proceedings and took it into his new boss's office.
"You don't need to flag this," the chairman said. "I read Proceedings at home." While we like to think we're the best at what we do, we've heard comments from naval people around the world who say we are the only ones who do what we do. No other military-oriented organization adheres as vigorously as the Naval Institute does to its independence and its commitment to a forum for the responsible and civil exchange of ideas.
That hasn't always been easy. Those at the highest levels of their professions often find criticism hard to swallow. For example, life member, Reagan administration Secretary of the Navy, and 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said in an April 2004 conference address that he's been a fan and supporter of the Naval Institute his entire career "with the exception of six short years when I was secretary of the Navy." Above scattered chuckles from the crowd, he added, perhaps only half joking, "Somehow, the institution got off track over those six years."
Disagreement over published opinions or something said in a conference is one thing. In fact, that's what we're all about. But in a few instances over the past century and a third, some officials in high places have tried to take control and stifle open debate in fits of pique against subordinates somehow seen as irresponsible and uncivil; others even tried to abolish the organization altogether. We're happy to report that, after several reevaluations of the purpose and the mission of the Naval Institute, sometimes by outside parties, none of these attempts succeeded.
General Powell himself once endorsed the organization's trademark unbridled exchange of ideas at an Institute conference. Having been seated at the head table with other panelists at a luncheon in Annapolis, he began his address by pointing out: "This is a real testimony to the open forum of the Naval Institute. Where else in the world could the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs be seated between Bob Woodward of the Washington Post and William F. Buckley of the National Review ?"
Time has tested many of the ideas the Naval Institute has surfaced, and some ultimately improved the way the sea services operate or defined the role maritime heritage plays in helping us learn from the past. But it takes courage to buck the conventional wisdom, which is why President John Adams—an early and firm supporter of a strong Navy—is the Institute's patron saint.
For this reason, we invited the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough to address our Annual Meeting in spring 2001 just as his biography of our second president was about to hit bookstores. In his speech, he recited an Adams quote that has become the Institute's guiding principle:
One of the most moving passages, in all that he [Adams] wrote, was
written when he was 30 years old—in 1765, ten years before Concord
and Lexington—in something called A Dissertation on the Canon and
Feudal Law . The last sentence of it is the chosen motto of the U.S. Naval
Institute. He wrote: "The true source of our suffering has been our
timidity: We have been afraid to think." And here's the sentence, which
I dedicate to all of you: "Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write."
Fortunately, for the sake of the sea services and national security, some of our best thinkers have so dared, and they still do.
Another Centenarian
Recently, Folio , the self-appointed "Magazine for Magazine Management," featured an article titled "The Centenarians," which toasted a handful of magazines still in circulation after 100 years or more in the marketplace. Starting with the Atlantic , first published in 1857 as The Atlantic Monthly , the article traces the origins and longevity of Railway Age (1876)—which merged with Railroad Gazette (1856) in 1908 and became Railway Age Gazette—Scientific American (1845), and Library Journal (1877). It also lists Drovers (1886), Popular Science (1872), and National Geographic (1888) as being the only other publications to have survived since the 19th century. Folio missed an important one. The first issue of the U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings in 1874 preceded three in this group. And even though it has weathered some bumps in the road, the magazine remains healthy and vital, still occasionally ruffling feathers to make the sea services better than they already are.
Mr. Schultz is senior editor of Proceedings and Naval History and has conducted more than 70 interviews for both magazines, including those mentioned in this article.

Translated by Jerrold Landau Much has been written and much more will still be written about the martyrs of our town who were murdered by the Nazi evildoers during the time of the Holocaust. However, who will memorialize those who fell to the hands of other murderers even before the Nazi beast trod the face of the earth? They remain anonymous, and what will the future generations know about them? Let us erect here a monument to some of them, even if this will only be with a few words.
In those days, we lived in a village near Lenin. How great was my joy when one day we moved to Lenin itself, and my feet crossed the threshold of the cheder for the first time.
Our parents were not especially happy to leave the village. They conducted their quiet lives there for many years, among the neighboring farmers with whom a mutual relationship of respect and esteem pervaded. I often heard it said: how good and quiet are the farmers of the village and the entire area.
However, very soon we were bitterly disappointed. Suddenly, rumors spread about killing and murder that had quickly reached the town of Lenin.
The first victim in the town was Yitzchak the son of Aharon Migdalovitch. He was found murdered on the route to Lachwa. The following people fell after him: Yaakov Eliahu the son of Alter Kopelnitzki along with Eliahu Chinitz, Yaakov Rubenstein (Yakeh), Uriah (Ura) from the village of Tymoszewicze, Aharon Slutski from Pozheche, Yisrael Aharon the son of Hershel Meir, Shlomo Dolgin, and the two Eisenstat brothers.
[Page 201]
|Eliezer as a child
That year, Eliezer the son of Betzalel Kopelnitzki was also murdered. His death was mourned grievously not only by his family and relatives, but also by all the residents of the town. Fear and terror took hold of everybody. Nobody left the door of their houses, and people avoided traveling on the roads.
Eliezer Kopelnitzki was a young youth, handsome, refined, with a warm Jewish heart. He was connected to the town and its residents. He mastered both Torah and wisdom. He was blessed with artistic talents. His hands took hold of the painter's brush and he would sing with his sweet voice. When he was a student in the faculty of medicine in Kiev, he would return home during the vacations. He would often serve as the prayer leaders in the synagogue on the holidays and enthuse the congregation with his enthusiastic prayers. His heart was always open to give advice and counsel, and his eyes were open to any place that required his assistance. He once assisted a family with many children who lived in poverty. The eldest daughter, aged 14, went without education and any purpose in life. Eliezer started to diligently help this poor family. Along with his friend, he turned to the wealthy residents of the town, and even to the Christian notables, asking them to donate what they could for this purpose. His mother Dina was even asked to exert influence over the parents of the girl to agree to permit her to travel to Kiev with him in order to learn a trade, so that she could support herself. The girl's parents were happy at this advice, and after a few days she set off for Kiev along with Eliezer. He placed her in a business where she also learned the sewing trade. She would study knowledge at night. The girl began to earn her livelihood, and even sent support to her parents. Her parents did not forget what Eliezer did for them, and always recalled that their daughter was saved from degeneration thanks to his dedication.
Eliezer played a large role in the cultural life of the town. He assisted in the organizing of the library, the founding of a choir, arranging plays and all other communal activities. He taught Bible and literature to the youth, and planted the love of Zion in our young hearts. Everyone who knew him knew that he was destined for greatness and prophesied a bright future for him. Indeed, he was a source of pride and glory for his parents Dina and Betzalel, and all the residents of the town.
However, bitter fate decreed otherwise. Eliezer was cut off while still young in years and full of energy, ideas and plans for the future. He was about to conclude his course of studies, and he returned to Kiev at the end of his vacation. Along the way he found out that the Balachovche gang of murderers was approaching Lenin, with their hands sullied with blood and full of booty. Eliezer stopped his journey and remained in the city of Turow, for his conscience did not permit him to continue on his journey when there was the danger of ambush for his family and the residents of his town. He, along with 17 other youths from the region, decided to go to Lenin to protect it. The rabbi of the city warned the youths to refrain from doing so, for there was a great evil in front of them, but they stood by their decision. Along the way they were arrested, accused of espionage, and taken out to be killed in cold blood.
Eliezer was one of the many who fell in sanctification of G-d and the nation, and he is one additional link in the chain of Jewish martyrdom.
May their memories be a blessing!

Translated by Jerrold Landau {Photo page 202: Uncaptioned. Yitzchak Kopelnitzki.} Yitzchak the son of Betzalel Kolpenitzki was a man of action. He was a diligent forestry merchant, upright and pleasant in mannerism. He spoke calmly and in good taste. His family moved to Lenin from the village of Pozheche. About 40-50 years ago, Reb Betzalel sent his sons to schools in the cities of Russia with the intent of imparting in them Torah and erudition. The son Yitzchak mastered general and Jewish knowledge. He studied accountancy at a high level. He was active in the communal arena, and one of those who bore the burden of the maintenance of the Tarbut School in our town, that existed until the time of Soviet rule.
Even though the Tarbut School consumed large sums, remained without any government support, and that in those days a public Polish school existed that did not require tuition payments 90% of the students of the town found their place in the Hebrew school, which was the glory of our town.
Thanks to the dedication of a number of activists who concerned themselves with the maintenance of the institution, free Hebrew education was made possible for those students who could not afford any tuition at all.
The following activists should be remembered positively along with Yitzchak: Mordechai Borochin, Yerachmiel Dvorin, Tzvi Yekutiel Gelinson, Binyamin Starobinski, Moshe Reuven Zerachki, Yaakov Lezbanik, and others, who did not hesitate to give private pledges in order to ensure that the budget would be covered.
Yitzchak and his co-activists bore the yoke of education with all of its difficulties. They maintained and sustained the school as the apple of their eye. There, children were educated in Zionism, in understanding the values of the nation, and in the Hebrew language. It is appropriate to note that Yitzchak continued to bear the yoke of the maintenance of the school even after his children concluded their studies and transferred to the Tarbut Gymnasium in Pinsk.
Yitzchak of blessed memory served as the director of accounting at a government institution during the period of Soviet rule. He had
[Page 203]
the possibility of leaving along with the army which was retreating from the Germans, and perhaps he might have thereby saved his life. However, he did not agree to leave his elderly parents, his wife and his children behind. He went up in the inferno along with all of his beloved family, and the entire holy community of Lenin.
May his memory be a blessing.
[Page 217]
Translated by Sara Mages
R' Avraham Yitzchak Slutzky, one of the greatest and most prominent figures among the former residents of our town, immigrated to the United States decades ago at a young age. He's a gifted man with a beautiful spirit and beautiful soul. He was one of the first founders of Lenin's Landsmanshaft in America. The main functions of the organizations were: to submit material and spiritual aid
[Page 218]
to the needy of our town and to the green immigrant who arrived to America, by obtaining him a job and a warm corner until he settled.
His hearty attitude to his birthplace in faraway Polesia didn't dim his longing and his love to the Land of Israel, and his soul was full of concerns and anxiety to the country during the War of Independence. It's difficult to describe his joy when the country of Israel was established (unfortunately he wasn't able to visit Israel for family reasons, and I hope that one day we'll be able to see him here among us).
Needless to say, how much energy and initiative he devoted to the realization of the idea to publishing a Yizkor book for the souls of our loved ones, who were destroyed and slaughtered like sheep by the Nazi beast. He showed great enthusiasm to the plan when it was just an abstract concept, before the material was in our hands and without the pictures of our loved ones, whose form has been preserved in our hearts and our thoughts. He was the first to provide lists of personalities and figures from our town. Skillfully, and with all the warmth and love in his heart, he included in this book every soul that he had remembered. He was the first to provide us with a collection of photos, with public and social value, that were preserved by relatives and former residents of the town. He made every effort to collect the money needed for the purchase of the printing paper and the fabric for the binding, and also obtained the permit to ship them to Israel. There was no shortage of opponents to this project also there, but thanks to his hard work and the aid of his many loyal friends, like the scholar Kalman son of R' David Temkin HaCohen and others, he fought them and won.
His beloved wife, Chava, who accompanies him in his way of life, has done her best to help the needy residents of Lenin, and to the love of her birthplace. She especially devoted herself to help the Holocaust survivors in Europe. Her house is wide open for parties and receptions for the benefit of the community, and she also helps her husband with his blessed work.
The affection and appreciation of the former residents of Lenin will accompany them in their devoted work, and we wish them that they will be able to continue it for many more years.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Using bold strokes to paint a picture of the future of track and field both locally and nationally, Vin Lananna will transition into a larger role that will benefit the entire University of Oregon and TrackTown USA, while Robert Johnson will be elevated to head track and field and cross country coach, University of Oregon Director of Athletics Rob Mullens announced Tuesday.
"This reorganization and promotion within our track and field staff has been under consideration for some time," said Mullens. "These moves will allow the University of Oregon and TrackTown USA to continue to lead the nation in the sport of track and field and recognizes the positive growth in both.
"Vin will now be able to focus his time and energy pursuing large-scale national and international track and field events for our community and ensuring that Hayward Field remains the premiere outdoor track venue in the United States. At the same time we are extremely happy to be able to retain and promote Robert Johnson, who has developed into one of the best and most sought-after coaches in the country."
Johnson, who recently finished his seventh year at Oregon and his third as associate head women's coach, has helped lead the remarkable resurgence of a women's program that has won three straight NCAA Indoor national titles and four consecutive Pac-12 championships. The Duck women have also finished as the national outdoor runners-up four years in a row.
"I am thankful and humbled that Rob Mullens and Vin Lananna have blessed me with this opportunity," said Johnson. "There is no other college in the nation where there is a greater honor to be the head track and field coach than the University of Oregon.
"As the caretaker of the program, I am excited to be able to continue to work with our outstanding student-athletes and shape and mold young lives."
Lananna, who just completed his seventh year as Oregon's head coach, will remain as associate athletic director and will oversee the track and field program as that sport's administrator. He will continue to oversee the Oregon Track Club Elite, whose postcollegiate athletes have now produced an impressive collection of Olympic medals, world champions and American champions under Lananna's direction.
He will also assume an expanded role with TrackTown USA as the nation's best running community looks to expand its footprint both nationally and internationally under his leadership.
"Just as Bill Bowerman connected the many strands that bind the University of Oregon to the numerous stakeholders in this track and field community, it is our hope that this restructure will help to solidify TrackTown as a leader for the future generations," said Lananna. "I am very excited about the opportunity to build TrackTown, while at the same time administering to the needs of the Oregon track and field program."
Recently, Johnson has coached English Gardner to the U.S. junior women's record in the 100 meters (11.03) as well as NCAA titles at 100 meters and the indoor 60 meters. He has also mentored three different national championship 4x400 meter relay teams. One of his first recruits, 400 meter record holder Keshia Baker, was a gold medalist in the 4x400 meter relay for Team USA at the 2012 London Olympics.
In his seven seasons, Johnson's student-athletes have broken all but one indoor and outdoor school women's record in the sprints, relays and horizontal jumps. On the men's side, Johnson coached Mike Berry break the school's 41 year-old record in the 400 meters as a freshman in 2011. Berry has since improved his time to 44.75.
Johnson has twice been named the national women's indoor track and field coach of the year, 2011-12, as well as the national women's assistant of the year (2010 indoors).
"This is something I have wanted to do for some time; Robert Johnson and I had been discussing an increased role for him and I have decided that this is the best time," said Lananna. "In our new roles, we will continue to work together to make Oregon the best track and field program in the country."
During his tenure, Lananna led Oregon to six NCAA titles (2007-08 men's cross country, 2009 men's indoor track and field, 2010-11-12 women's indoor track and field) and 13 conference titles (2006-07-08 men's cross country, 2007-08-09-10-11-12 men's track and field, 2009-10-11-12 women's track and field). He also coached Olympians as well as several NCAA and Pac-12 event champions.
Lananna was named the 2012 Pac-12 men's and women's coach of the year for the third time at Oregon and was previously honored as the 2007 and 2008 national men's cross country coach of the year. He also served as Team USA's head coach for the 2011 IAAF World Championships, and was the co-chair for both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, hosted at Hayward Field.
"This evolving position allows me to concentrate and focus on the big picture, including building a strong Local Organizing Committee with all of our partners, in order that we will continue to bring big, exciting events to our fans here in TrackTown," said Lananna.
Johnson becomes just the sixth full-time track and field coach in the history of the Men of Oregon, one of the most storied collegiate track and field programs in the nation, and the seventh for the Duck women.
He follows in the steps of coaching legends Bill Hayward (1904-47), Bill Bowerman (1949-72), Bill Dellinger (1973-98), Tom Heinonen (1975-2003, women) and Lananna (2006-12), among others.

ZF-6111: Add option to Zend_Config_Writer to skip section names
It would be nice if Zend_Config_Writer would skip section names if instructed to do so.
I am using Zend_Config_Ini for my testing, development and staging environments but I create a single Zend_Config (array) for use in my production environment.
The change is really simple, write() should have an extra parameter:
public function write($filename = null, Zend_Config $config = null, $exclusiveLock = null, $useSectionName = true)
and instead of just checking if section name is a string
if (is_string($sectionName)) {
$data = array($sectionName => $data);
we could check for the $useSectionNames as well:
if (($useSectionName) && (is_string($sectionName))) {
$data = array($sectionName => $data);
If it will help I can provide patch files for these changes.
Hi, can I expect this issue to be resolved. What can I need do to make this happen?
Is it necessary to explain the use case, submit patches, create tests?
I will add a new ini writer for exactly this issue.
Added and documented a new config writer "SimpleIni" which writes all data into the global INI namespace.

ZF-302: Zend_Pdf - Drawing rounded corners rectangle
New function to draw rouded corners rectangle (one, two, .. or all corners) like FPDF lib (can I post the link? http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script35.php). Thanks
I'll try to roll this into the layout classes I've been working on. There are some new geometry classes (such as Zend_Pdf_Rect) that should make such a feature easier to implement.
Hi Willie, with this new features can we will use "tag-formatted" text and circular text?? Do you implements bookmarks and protection functions? Thanks
The first revisions will not support tagged text. The API works by assigning attributes to character ranges. However, some type of tagging support (perhaps a subset of HTML) is on my long-term list.
I'm not sure what you mean by circular text. Can you give an example?
Bookmark support is currently missing, and I realized that there was no issue for it. You can track the progress of bookmark support now in ZF-314. For encryption (protection) functions, refer to ZF-13.
Here a circular text example (http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script82.php). But.. with an image (like in the Zend_Pdf demo) the result is better. What do you think?
I'm watching bookmarks and encryption issues now!
Changing fix version to unknown.
Changing fix version to 0.6.0.
Assignee is changed to postpone issue to post-1.0 period
Postponed to post-1.0 period
Resetting 'fix version priority' and 'fix version' to be re-evaluated for next release.
Unassigning Zend_Pdf issues currently assigned to me pending decision on ZF 2.0 release timeframe and potential contribution of comprehensive changeset.
Alex, please evaluate and decide how to move forward on this. If it won't be addressed within the 1.8 time frame, please leave a comment and changed it to 'postponed' status.
Attached is a patch that includes the code, documentation, and modified unit tests for rectangles with rounded corners. It is implemented differently than fpdf, but provides the same functionality. In the unit tests, I also made the regular rectangle and line bigger to accommodate the new rounded rectangle.
Patch is applied

FBI asked to aid probe of Iron Horse breach
Submitted by David on
The Durango Police Department has requested the FBI's help to investigate widespread credit card fraud that targeted numerous people registered for this year's Iron Horse Bicycle Classic.
Meanwhile, race officials worked Friday to identify the source of the security breach, said Gaige Sippy, director of the event.
"We are still trying to understand where all of this took place," he said. "As of right now, there is no clear path."
Dozens of credit cards have been used for fraudulent charges, all with a common thread of also having been used to register for Iron Horse events, Sippy said.
Organizers are unsure how widespread the problem is and whether all the credit cards used to register were compromised. Most of the fraudulent activity appears to have occurred during the first week of February, but some people have reported fraudulent charges up to three weeks ago, Sippy said. Fraudulent charges have ranged from $200 to $1,400, he said.

DCCC student art group to hold silent auction
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 9:24 a.m.
The Davidson County Community College student art club Acrylix is sponsoring a silent art auction as an opportunity for students to showcase and sell their art. The auction will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday in the Brooks Student Center.
The auction, which includes original works from 45 students, will feature a variety of art mediums, such as paintings, photography, pencil and pen drawings, watercolors, wood carvings, jewelry, furniture and sculptures. The group anticipates a turnout of 75 to 125 bidders.
"We are really hoping for a good turnout for our auction," says Aaron Adkins, Acrylix president. "I would like the Triad community to understand how much talent is at DCCC. I'm looking forward to seeing the pieces of fellow classmates, and I want to invite the community to submit their works as well."
Adkins says that 15 percent of the proceeds will go toward the club's goal of raising funds to complete a mural at the Salvation Army's soup kitchen in Lexington; the remaining 85 percent will go to the artist.
"We are already planning to have another silent auction during the spring semester and are excited to make this a regular event," Adkins says.
Acrylix, a group for students in visual art, advertising and graphic design programs, is new to the DCCC campus this year. The club has 40 members.

|Yinka earns all-tournament honor
LAS VEGAS – After scoring 44 points and grabbing 28 rebounds in two Western Athletic Conference tournament games, Idaho senior women's basketball player Yinka Olorunnife was named to the WAC all-tournament team on Saturday.
Olorunnife, the WAC's all-time leading rebounder, averaged 22.0 points and 14.0 rebounds for the Vandals, which advanced to the WAC quarterfinals after beating (8) Boise State on Wednesday and falling to (4) Nevada on Thursday.
In Idaho's opening round game, Olorunnife hit 6-of-12 shots from the field, and had 19 of her 21 points in the first half. She went 3-of-6 from long range, and also had an assist and a block in 38 minutes of action.
The very next day, Olorunnife had another dominating performance. In the quarterfinals against Nevada, she went 10-of-24 from the field, and tied her own Idaho WAC tournament single-game record of 15 rebounds. She also broke her own Idaho single season rebounding record, getting her 317th board of the season, breaking her previous mark of 310 set in 2008-09. She added four assists, two steals and a block in that game as well, and played all 40 minutes.
Overall, Olorunnife shot 44.4 percent (16-of-36) from the field, 36.4 percent (4-of-11) from long range, 80.0 percent (8-of-10) from the free throw line, and had five assists, two blocks and two steals.
The honor is the second of Olorunnife's career, as she was named to the WAC all-tournament team in 2010 as well. It's also the third WAC postseason honor for Olorunnife this season, as she was a second-team all-WAC selection and a WAC all-defensive team honoree as well.
WAC tournament champion Fresno State's Jaleesa Ross was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, and was joined on the all-tournament team by Olorunnife, Louisiana Tech's Adrienne Johnson, Fresno State's Rosie Moult and Nevada's Tahnee Robinson.

Trust Me: Communication Is Key
by Brian Anderson - Jul, 2013
Trust Me: Communication Is Key Effective communication involves much more than sharing information. It is about building trust. "To see real change and gain significant benefits from their strategies, leaders need to establish an environment of trust. Leaders who are trusted – even in times of great difficulty – are skilled communicators." My experience suggests the following communications fundamentals when leading...
Character Development
by Brian Anderson - Sep, 2006
Most of us think that "character" is established by the time we reach adulthood — either you have it or you don't. I believe that character can be developed and strengthened over the course of a lifetime. In fact, one of the key responsibilities of leaders is to establish an effective process of character development — not only for themselves but also for their subordinates. How can leaders do this? Following the "Five E's"...
Establishing A Positive Culture
by Brian Anderson - Aug, 2006
How does your organization establish a positive culture? In my experience, there are nine critical factors necessary for an organization to create and sustain a desired culture. These include: Create a shared vision. Ensure that senior leaders are committed to the process and model the agreed-upon behaviors. Define the guiding behaviors that support the organization's values. Conduct a gap analysis via a cultural au...
The 11 Secrets to Sales Leadership
by Brian Anderson - Jun, 2006
In his classic book, "Think and Grow Rich", Napoleon Hill discussed the eleven secrets of leadership. Recently, as I was reading the book, it occurred to me that the attributes of strong leadership and effective selling have a tremendous amount in common. After all, to be really successful in sales, you need to be a leader, both within your own organization, as well as to your clients and customers. To paraphrase management...
Why Great Employees Quit: What You Can Do To Keep Them
by Brian Anderson - Mar, 2006
So you've gone to significant expense to recruit some top talent. With recruiting expenses at about 35% or more of an employee's first year salary, any employer would want to recoup those expenses by retaining their top talent for at least a few years. How do you keep them once you've landed them? We'll look at seven reasons why employees leave, according to Leigh Brahnam who wrote the book, "The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Lea...

Can someone just throw it out for me please? is he Yes or No? i saw it in im beaming music video. if he is, then idc how good lupe is, im done with him.
Lupe Fiasco Illuminati...?
Can someone just throw it out for me please? is he Yes or No? i saw it in im beaming music video. if he is, then idc how good lupe is, im done with him.
Forum category:
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9Hm1ROmlEk" Listen closely to what 2pac says. All right so my take on all of this.....I am suspicious of everyone and everything and you've gotta be. BUT: Jay-Z is playing up all of this illuminati symbolism because it's getting everyone hyped and paying attention to his moves. Lupe Fiasco has talent......all the way back to the old mix tapes(could we please stop calling them tapes soon?) and you don't get that alphabet soup brain from signing a paper or taking an oath.
Lupe has been my favorite rapper since he came out and I've heard a lot of his material, trust me he is not down with Jay-Z and Illuminati. Listen to the 2nd verse on his Popular Demand freestyle when he says "I don't want the throne I want the helicopter rocking chair; Jay gave me a co-sign like I was rocawear but be clear im not the heir(air): i'm the water, fire, and the Earth, meaning I do dirt spit flames and quench thirst, PLUS THE REAL GOD HAS BEEN ON MY SIDE SINCE BIRTH. He's clearly speaking against Jay-Z and following him, and in a lot of other songs he speaks out against certain other things like the media and industry. If there's any rapper not in Illuminati it's Lupe, and of course Immortal Technique.
First let me give Lupe a big round of applause for fooling over half of his biggest fans! Congrats! At 5 something this morning me and my bf ran slipped and fell into the official video for "I'm Beaming" and iMust say that iWas shocked and appalled at what iSaw....Lupe tsk tsk tsk iAm so disappointed in you....iCried when iSaw the betrayal that he put forth...Lupe iWas one of your biggest fans...So sad Lupe iKnow iSpeak for all your fans when iSay iThought you were better than that....SMH....Such good talent going to waste....Signed, A former fan
Regardless, we support them in our every day lives whether you acknowledge it or not. What you are asking I believe is did he sell his soul to them am I right? I can't really answer on that with fact but seeing that his track record promotes positivity (no need to list songs seeing as almost all have a positive message) and the many dangers of drugs, rape, homicide, genocide, disease, and even the illuminati's negative influence indirectly (Dumb It Down, Put You On Game, etc.) You can also listen to some interviews he's been in and see how he talks about how he chose to go left when alot of others chose to go right (in the industry). In one interview with Tavis Smiley, he said even Jay-Z(an obvious member) told him to not go in the route he took to success, take his own path and be the exception. This was probably said when Lupe was unaware of how deeply rooted evil was in the industry as he said he was confused on the reason at the time. But, I believe he is now aware on it.
The Illuminati's intentions are to enlighten the world through science and understanding of the universe, as opposed to religious mysticism..in which invoking a New World Order,since the current world is based on relgious principals & morals...this is my understanding of them anyway. The only way that you can look at the illuminati as good or bad...is through your own ideals.Wether you're religous or not... In this context it is hard to say wether Lupe is illuminati or not..since he is extremely religous as mentioned in quite alot of his songs.. Either way Lupe is an amazing artist & his beliefs should not influence wether you listen to his music or not..since he doesnt really impose his beliefs onto his listeners.
No one knows for sure and just leave it at that until some more news about it show up or just ask him yourself by getting in touch with him, if possible.
Didn't you know that everyone is in the Illuminati? Your parents are, your friends are, even you are, and you don't even know it. I'm saying this because your basis for appreciating his work should not be swayed by whether or not he is.

Oswald Mosley
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I know this won't go down well with the trendy-fashionable Guardianistas of metropolitan so-called London but Sir Oswald was right about everything ever. And you can't say that these days without being called a "fascist". It's the Cannon and Ball Show gone mad!"
"I opened for him at the Bolton Empire in July 1936. The crowd kept calling for When I'm Cleaning Windows. They weren't satisfied with Aunty Maggie's Remedy. One of them shot the piano player."
"Not a friendly crowd."
Baronet Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley (16 November 1896 – 3 December 1980) was a well groomed British comedian who rose to fame during the popularity of 1920s and 1930s fascist movement which challenged both conventional comedy as well as being a reaction against the "politically correct" material of the socialists and communists. Mosley became famous for his stand-up shows and later radio shows, and could be seen screaming his head off up and down the British Isles for many years, until he dropped dead of course.
edit Early life
Mosley was born in London, England to aristocrats. His childhood years were spent associating with other children from various ethnic backgrounds or "natural inferiors" as little Oswald was taught to call them. Oswald enjoyed playing games such as "Squarebashing" and "Who can goosestep the highest?". Local people found him cute and charming, but then they said the same about Caligula when he was a nipper.
edit World War I
Mosley joined the British Army in 1914 and saw a great deal of action at the rear in France. He also fought in the war. After the end of hostilities in 1918 he left the army, disillusioned with how peaceful it had become and looked for an alternative way to make a living.
edit Parliament
Young Oswald stood for parliament, initially winning a seat as a Conservative (which came with a free knighthood) in 1920 he became disillusioned with postwar tory policies and defected to Labour in 1921. He got sick of them too and defected to the Liberals in 1923 but found them a bit wet, really and defected to the German-Takeover Now! Party later that year who were subsequently banned following the passing of the 1923 Obvious Foreign Agents In Parliament Act, losing him his seat and his income.
edit Standup
Having had little success standing for Parliament, Mosley decided to try a different kind of stand-up. Starting in 1924, Mosley began touring both exclusive gentlemen's clubs and working mens' pubs with his comedy act. Initially billed as "Ooh, Oswald, You Are Awful!", his routine, centred around humourous, often satirical characters he created, such as "Chalkie the Communist" (with his popular, if overlong, catchphrase "How I yearn to destroy Britain, property, the King and Western Civilisation") and "Thieving Jew Who Controls All The Money" He was extremely popular with some English audiences who said he was "telling it like it is" but caused extreme animosity from others, especially ethnic minorities and the political groups he mocked on-stage. As a result, there were often fights between Mosley's fans (dubbed "blackshirts" on account of the outfits they wore to reduce stains from all the beer and spit thrown their way) and Mosley's opponents (called "International Bolshevism" by Mosley).
Mosley's popularity lead to him doing several controversial radio broadcasts entitled Sir Oswald's Laughter Hour, a mixture of jokes, sketches, songs and racial slurs in which he worked alongside his "straight man" Arthur Askey. These jokes frequently had a political edge. For example one character, "Terrence the Tory", a hapless upper-class man in a top hat, was constantly berated by Mosley with the catchphrase "Once again, you have done nothing to stem the red tide flowing from Moscow!". Some of the later shows became overly-political, even for fans, with one episode from 1932 devoting ten minutes to its star explaining how corporatism would prevent the crises of laissez-faire capitalism and protect Britain from communist revolution. "That must have been tough on the audience", chuckles fan Jim Davidson.
The radio show was nonetheless a success, attracted around 4,000,000 listeners, and became so popular that he could command paying audiences of 20,000 at the Royal Albert Hall. Amongst his greatest fans was Lord Rothmans, the editor of the Daily Mail who wrote an article titled "HURRAH FOR THE BLACKSHIRTS" in which he praised Mosley's "Sound, commonsense, Conservative humour" after Mosley's fans bought him a whole pint of piping-hot beer. The Prince of Wales, the future Edward VIII, was also an early admirer. "I say, I do like what that Mosley fellow says about kykes and nig-nogs, what?" brayed the Prince, showing his obvious breeding.
edit Relationship with Mussolini
Controversy occurred in 1928 when Benito Mussolini, the Italian stand-up tyrant, accused Mosley of "stealing [his] material". However, Mosley merely claimed to be paying tribute to the Futurist Manifesto which he also claimed Mussolini had based much of his act on. Mosley criticised Mussolini's popular show Fascist Manifesto accusing it of being a "sell out", claiming that Mussolini had "gone mainstream" and shocked the short, fat Italian by suggesting he "go back to the Socialists". However, once Mussolini actually implemented his policies Mosley admitted he had been wrong in his regular column in the Daily Express stating "Mr Mussolini's material is actually deeply subversive, under the guise of giving the Italian people something mainstream and comfortable, he has actually made them enjoy pro-war and pro-imperialist material."
edit British Union Of Fascist Bastards
Eventually, Mosley started referring to his shows as "rallies" and in 1930 organised his supporters into a new political party, the British Union Of Fascist Bastards. This new party pledged to "revitalise" Britain and the British Empire through a policy of dressing in black jumpsuits, wearing peaked caps at a silly angle and beating-up Jews and socialists. The latter policy eventually lead to a big streetbrawl called "The Battle Of Cable Street" against bearded communists and Jews (also bearded) which Mosley (moustache only) and his Blackshirts (clean shaven) lost. This was intensely embarrasing for the BUoFB as fascists took pride in the notion that they always won battles and if they were going to lose it certainly wouldn't be to a gaggle of Guardian readers. Showing the "can do" spirit of fascism, Mosley continued to hold rallies although his fanbase was starting to shrink and he was forced to play pubs and working mens' clubs rather than the stadiums he'd used to. In 1939, with the declaration of war against Nazi Germany, there were concerns in Whitehall about Mosley. A senior civil servant wrote to Neville Chamberlain declaring:
"I know Sir Oswald's a bit of a lark, and I know you like his early standup stuff but frankly this later stuff isn't just unfunny, it's quite possibly pro-German. I suggest we have him locked up. He was better on the radio too."
Chamberlain's government agreed and Oswald was duly imprisoned along with his fans under the emergency "Possible Traitors" powers. This wasn't a violation of their human rights, though, because they were fascists.
edit After World War II
Following the war, Mosley and his fans were released and he returned to standup. During the late 1940s, he played several benefit gigs for the "Send 'Em Home" movement (later the UK Independence Party) where he brought-back some old favourites as well as introducing new characters such as "Scheming Indian Whose Independent Country Will Side With Soviet Russia". He also revitalised his radio career in the 1950s, appearing regularly on Tony Hancock's famous sitcom Hancock's Half Hour playing angry neighbour "Mr Nazi". Hancock had Mosley's character dropped before the move to TV although this was apparently "nothing personal" since Hancock did that with everyone.
In the early 1970s, he appeared several times on the Radio 4 panel gameshow Just A Minute but was eventually banned after constantly deviating from the subject to the "international jew-negro-marxist conspiracy" within ten seconds, castigating Clement Freud as "a filthy liberal pulling the strings of this show and the country!" and trying to have "mincing deviant" Kenneth Williams shot.
edit Later life and death
" I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man."
Towards the end of his life, Mosley became a regular on talk shows and, in the 1970s, continued to make money as a "warm up man" for Conservative Party conferences following Margaret Thatcher's rise to Conservative leader. He died in 1979 whilst having a tribute song, "Good Old Oswald Mosley", sung at him by Mel Smith on Not The Nine O'Clock News. (lyrics shown below) The smell of Mel's digesting BBC canteen dinner which inevitably blasted towards him during this performance was too much for the old racist's heart.
- "Good Old Oswald Mosley"
- written by Peter Brewis
- sung by Margaret Thatcher, Pamela Stephenson, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones
They didn't understand 'im, some people called 'im mad But any friend of 'Itler's can't have been all bad Baronet Oswald Ernald Mosley! Baronet Oswald Ernald Mosley! He was popular and handsome as Richard Burton 'Cause I seen on the box once with his black shirt on And though I cannot claim to be any great authority As far as I'm concerned the sun shone out of his oratory He could have been a great dictator given 'alf a chance But they treated 'im like a traitor So he went to live in France (where else would a traitor live?) Baronet Oswald Ernald Mosley! Baronet Oswald Ernald Mosley!
edit Legacy
Sir Oswald Mosley's contribution to the world of far-right politics and standup comedy remains influential. He has been claimed as an inspiration by Jim Davidson, Nick Griffin and Hezbolaughs (the comedy wing of Hezbollah). Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also been quoted as being "a big fan of the English zionist-hater" and is pushing for the release of a box-set of Mosley's early routines and radio shows. He also leaves behind a son; Max Mosley who also happens to be the current president of the FIA, another far-right, authoritarian organisation allied to Italy. Mosley Jr is said to base his running of the organization on a business model developed by his late Father. Nigel Farrago of UKIP has also praised Mosley as "a fine libertarian".
Whilst Mosley's "subversive" and "dark" comedy was frowned-upon in the postwar years and the "right-on" eighties and nineties it has increasingly come back into fashion and, although modern practitioners of his particular brand of "alternative" are reluctant to pay open tribute to pioneers like Mosley his influence can be seen in modern publications such as the Daily Express and in the columns of Richard Littlejohn, Katie Hopkins and "Mad" Melanie Philips. Unpopular gobshite Jon Gaunt's podcasts, recorded for very little money in his bedroom in his underpants, have also been described as a "21st Century version" of Mosley's old radio shows "with the obvious exception that nobody listens to them".

ZF-10991: ReCAPTCHA does work in forms using Array Notation
If you create a form containing a ReCaptcha captcha element it will not validate if that form is using array notation.
This form will validate correctly
class Contact_Form_Test extends Zend_Form
private static $_privKey = '';
private static $_pubKey = '';
public function init()
$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('recaptcha', array(
'label' => "Please verify you're a human",
'captcha' => 'ReCaptcha',
'captchaOptions' => array(
'privKey' => self::$_privKey,
'pubKey' => self::$_pubKey,
$this->addElement('Submit', 'submit');
This form will not validate and dies with a 'missingValue' error. Note the addition of $this->setElementsBelongTo('contact');
class Contact_Form_Test extends Zend_Form
private static $_privKey = '';
private static $_pubKey = '';
public function init()
$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('recaptcha', array(
'label' => "Please verify you're a human",
'captcha' => 'ReCaptcha',
'captchaOptions' => array(
'privKey' => self::$_privKey,
'pubKey' => self::$_pubKey,
$this->addElement('Submit', 'submit');
Please use always the code tags!
Edit: Added code tags
On analysis, this appears to be due to a change in the ReCaptcha JavaScript API. Previously, it would use the element name in order to find and populate the challenge and response values, but now appears to be hard-coded to use only the keys "recaptcha_challenge_field" and "recaptcha_response_field" -- which makes it (a) impossible to namespace these in a form, and (b) have more than one ReCaptcha on a single page (since whichever ReCaptcha operates last populates those keys in the POST).
What's more frustrating is that if you disable JS, it's actually possible to use namespaced values via thesection, as it uses the existing elements you create via Zend_Form.
As such, I'm unsure how to resolve this issue. We could potentially generate some JS that wraps the ReCaptcha API, but this could prove to be a moving target and maintenance nightmare. Another option is to support namespaces viaonly, and document a methodology for pre-seeding the values yourself:
$formValues = $this->_request->getPost('contact', array());
if (!isset($formValues['recaptcha_challenge_field'])) {
$formValues['recaptcha_challenge_field'] = $this->_request->getPost('recaptcha_challenge_field', '');
if (!isset($formValues['recaptcha_response_field'])) {
$formValues['recaptcha_response_field'] = $this->_request->getPost('recaptcha_response_field', '');
if (!$form->isValid($formValues)) { ... }
Finally, we could raise an exception if we determine that the element is part of a form array.
Guy, Leigh, which approach would you like to see?
I've discovered other folks have had similar issues: http://ish.io/embedded/formish/recaptcha.html
I think we may be able to munge this during onSubmit by doing a query on the given form for the appropriate elements, and then creating some new hidden ones that are namespaced but with the same values. I'll try and get something in for this in the next day or two. (We hit this on the ZF site, btw. :) )
The following dojo code worked for me to make the JS version of ReCaptcha work:
dojo.create("input", {type: "hidden", id: "contact-captcha-challenge", name: "contact[recaptcha_challenge_field]"}, dojo.byId("captcha-element"));
dojo.create("input", {type: "hidden", id: "contact-captcha-response", name: "contact[recaptcha_response_field]"}, dojo.byId("captcha-element"));
dojo.connect(dojo.byId("contact"), "onsubmit", function(e) { dojo.attr("contact-captcha-response", {value: dojo.attr("recaptcha_response_field", "value")}); dojo.attr("contact-captcha-challenge", {value: dojo.attr("recaptcha_challenge_field", "value")});});
Basically, it adds two hidden fields named appropriately into the DOM where the captcha element should live, and then binds to the form's onSubmit event in order to copy the recaptcha information into those hidden fields.
This can probably be written as a custom decorator using generic JS (using document.getElementById() and element.value).
Fixed in current trunk and 1.11 release branch via a custom decorator for the ReCaptcha captcha element.
Subversion revision #24223 for library/Zend/Form/Element/Captcha.php may have fixed ReCaptcha, but broke at least two other Captchas (I tried Figlet and Image).
The example at http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… no longer works, because the developer now (since 1.11.9) needs to explicitly add the 'captcha' decorator to the figlet (or image captcha) form element.
Should I open a new issue for this ?
Please do.
I recall seeing the logic for adding the captcha decorator, as I had to add some conditional logic not to load it if one was already loaded (as, for example, with the Word or ReCaptcha decorators); it may be that this conditional logic may have introduced a new break. I had to add tests to ensure that the ReCaptcha decorator was being invoked; my guess is that we're missing tests for the others.

Man, She's Smart
THE PARTY It was an all-out fashion frenzy, as nearly 600 well-dressed women and men arrived at W Washington DC to meet style blogger Leandra Medine. The newly minted author signed copies of her brand new book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love. Finding Overalls. THE PEOPLE Man Repeller-inspired models—decked out in designerwear by Givenchy, Lanvin, Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta—mingled with fashionistas like Marlene Hu Aldaba, who provided the high-fashion looks for the evening. BEST IN SHOW Party guests arrived in their most original outfits, which matched Medine's message of individuality. "There are no real guidelines about what to wear," Medine told DC. "It's just a matter of feeling good." Photography by Dakota Fine
