The "Recent activity" page shows info about the activity in your Microsoft account, within the last 30 days. This includes any time that you signed in to your account, whether you used a web browser, your phone, an email app, a third-party app, or another method.
For each activity, the Recent activity page lists several things:
Some Internet providers—especially for mobile phone services—might route your activity through a different location. This can make it look like you've signed in from somewhere you're not. If you're not sure, you can always click an activity you don't recognize to let us know.
You can click any activity to expand it and see additional details, including:
Different email apps and webmail services use different protocols, or communication formats, to access your account. You might see one or more of the following protocols listed on the Recent activity page:
|Activity description

|Security challenge
|We detected an unusual sign-in attempt with the correct password. (This might have been you, but we weren't sure—for example, this might have happened on a new device we didn't recognize.) To help protect your account, we required an extra security challenge.
|Incorrect password entered
|Someone tried to sign in to your Microsoft account with the wrong password. (This might have been you, if you forgot your password—or it might have been someone else trying to access your account. We didn't allow this sign-in.)
|Phone number added
Alternate email added
Identity verification app added
Recovery code added
Phone number deleted

You'll probably recognize most of the account activities listed on your Recent activity page. Even if an activity sounds suspicious at first, you can expand it to see more details and decide whether you remember it. For example, if you accidentally made a typo in your password, you'll see Incorrect password entered in the list. Or, if you signed in to your account from a mobile phone, you might find that your service provider routed the signal through a cell tower in another city.
But if an activity looks unfamiliar, or if you see an unusual pattern (like multiple sign-in attempts or changes that you're sure you didn't make), let us know. We'll help you make your account more secure to minimize any threats.
If we notice unusual activity on your account, we'll give you the option to tell us you were responsible for an activity, and we'll keep track of that info going forward. For example, if you sign in from a new location that happens to be the hotel you're staying at on a business trip, we'll add that location to the list of places we expect you might sign in from in the future.
When you tell us that you don't recognize an activity, it's possible that a hacker or a malicious user has gotten access to your account. To help protect your account, we'll walk you through several steps, including changing your password and reviewing and updating your security info.

Doll Bones (Compact Disc)
A doll that may be haunted leads three friends on a thrilling adventure in this delightfully creepy novel from the New York Times bestselling cocreator of the Spiderwick Chronicles.
Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. And for almost as long, they've been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her. But they are in middle school now. Zach's father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she's been having dreams about the Queen—and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave.
Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one last adventure to lay the Queen's ghost to rest. But nothing goes according to plan, and as their adventure turns into an epic journey, creepy things begin to happen. Is the doll just a doll or something more sinister? And if there really is a ghost, will it let them go now that it has them in its clutches?

Street harassed 3 times 🙁
The first time I experienced harassment was 4 months ago, I it was summer time at about 8.45pm on my way back from the supermarket as I was waiting on the side of the road for the traffic to clear I saw this weird looking guy approach me, wanting to touch me — I had to put my shopping bag down and push him out to stop him from touching me and kept saying to him to Please go away and to leave me alone while I am waiting for the road to clear. I managed to cross the road and I was in tears because of the thing that just struck me. Ever since I'm becoming more aware of the street and to always look at my surrounding whenever I am walking alone. Just as the uneasy feelings started to go away the 2nd harassment happened about a month ago. I was walking home from my bus stop to my apartment at about 7pm when a guy from across the the street started yelling at me for no reason.. I try to ignore him and kept on walking until this crazy guy crossed the road and started to follow me home. Being aware that someone followed me, I started to run and luckily there was a car coming and it had slowed him down and I managed to get into my apartment building just in time.
3rd harassment happened today, I came out from work at 5pm walking on the CBD street with 4 friends and somehow this guy came out from nowhere and growled at me…
At this point I feel very vulnerable and I keep wondering why is this happening to me? what would the best way to prevent this from happening in the near future? sometimes the thought of what if it gets worse compared to all of the experiences I had above freak me out .. I always dress down and avoid to making eye contact with strangers and yet it doesn't seem to work. However, sharing this story makes me feel slightly better.
This happened when I was 13, and the memory's stayed with me since. I was at my school camp, taking canoe lessons with the rest of the class. The canoe instructor, who was next to me, kept leering and saying things like, "You're so pretty, what's your name?" Being 13 and painfully shy, the only way I knew how to deal with it was ignore him.
I thought he'd just go away. Instead, he said, "Come on, I'm not going to bite you," and grabbed my left arm and actually bit me. It wasn't a deep bite but it was repulsive. He then proceeded to, what I now understand in retrospect, hump his canoe.
When I told my teacher about this, she brushed me off and said, "Oh, they're just fooling around. Don't take it so seriously." Well, it was frightening, disgusting, and even now, 8 years later, those feelings are still with me.
People should never brush off sexual harassment just because it's too troublesome to deal with it, or just because nothing seriously illegal was involved!
This happened a few years ago, and it still bothers me.
My cousin and I were walking down the street, sure it was dark, but not really that late. Not that it matters. We're walking down a pretty residential street, and are literally 2 houses down from her front door. We had been out to get a bottle of wine for a big family dinner, and they all were waiting on us inside. This guy walking towards us goes right between us, bends down and grabs both of our crotches. And then just keeps on walking like nothing happened. He might have even been whistling. We were speechless, and before we walked through the front door, agreed to not say anything. Her parents would have flipped, and we just wanted to get over it. I still feel pretty violated when I think of it, and can't believe that it even happened. What made him think it was okay to do that? How many other women has he done this to? So disgusting.
I had been a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Morocco for about nine months and had been putting up with all kinds of harassment: groping, cat-calls, even a stalker. Once a man asked me, in Arabic, "how much?" as I walked past him, thinking I wouldn't understand. Everyone I talked to about it kept telling me to ignore it, but this was easier said than done.
One afternoon, while walking home from work at the youth center, I heard smooching and kissing noises waft toward me from across the street. I looked up to see a skinny punk kid, maybe 15-years-old, smiling at me, then continuing to make the noises.
I don't know what it was about this PARTICULAR incident, but I lost it. Before I knew what I was doing, I had stormed across the street and was in his face yelling at him in Arabic. "Why do you do that? Do you think I like it? What would your mother say? I'm a nice girl and you've never even met me."
The kid was so bewildered, he just kept saying "I'm sorry" over and over again. At the moment I felt like I had done some good in making at least one kid understand that this kind of behavior isn't okay, but it just wasn't enough. I eventually left Morocco under severe stress from constant harassment.
Yesterday (Sunday, June 5th 2011) I was at a party at the Angelic Pretty store in San Francisco. Angelic Pretty is a brand of Japanese "lolita style" clothing–basically, frilly dresses worn with lavish accessories and cute shoes and bags. Periodically they have parties for their loyal customers. There were about 25 girls and women ranging in age from 14 to 47 wearing frilly dresses playing party games like Old Maid and candy toss, drinking tea and lemonade and eating pancakes with fruit. Sounds pretty innocent right?
Yet some creep came up to the front door of the store and stared at us, then started taking pictures of us without asking. I unfortunately don't have a pic to go with this story because my bag was halfway across the room and when he saw that we had noticed him, he ran off, but the girl sitting next to me, one of the girls he snapped, was FOURTEEN. What a creep. I didn't let it ruin my day, but it's always a great experience to be having a fun time with other women and be reminded that there are people in the world who view us as consumables. He's lucky my parasol wasn't in reach by the time I got to the door.
Me: Did you just take a picture of my ass with your phone?
This Idiot: Heh heh heh – Awe, you caught me, ma.
Me: Unbelievable.
Idiot: Heh heh heh – C'mon, ma. You can't blame a guy for wanting to share something so amazing. [wink]
Me: Wow. Seriously?
Idiot: C'mon, what do you expect? You should be proud.
Me: What you just did is NOT flattering – it's offensive, and really f*cking rude.
Idiot: Awe. Don't be like that, ma. Want me to delete it?
Me: [Giving him the "WTF do you think?!" face.]
(Two stops later…)
Idiot: So now you takin' pictures of me?
Me: You can't blame a girl for wanting to share something so ridiculous.
I was coming back home from a friend's house at around midnight. I always make sure to pause my iPod whenever I'm walking home by myself, so that I'm completely aware of my surroundings. I had even thought numerous times of what I would do if someone were to follow me home…but nothing prepared me to the reality of hearing foot steps and the fear of knowing that I was actually being followed.
I had seen him at a distance, walking drunkenly across the street, then turning right where I needed to turn. I lost sight of him, and thought "I'm almost home, just this one block…" but then there he was.
He sees me. He crosses the street towards me. My hoodie is up, and I'm wearing the biggest sweatpants I own. I'm thinking, "This guy cant even possibly make up my shape or features in this…"
I'm barely breathing at this point, completely aware that he is following me, I follow my "planned" protocol. I turn and look at him square in the eye, pulling down my hoodie with confidence and giving him a clear "What the hell are you doing?" look.
I turn back and walk faster…I'm almost home…
He is still following me. He starts demanding for my phone. I say I don't have one, but I'm gripping it tightly in my pocket, just in case I have to hit him in the head with it. He keeps yelling at me and I panic. I start running. HE RUNS AFTER ME! At this point I'm completely terrified.
Then he cuts me off right in front of the stairs leading to my door, keeping me from going in and yells at me "Give me your phone!"
I see the light is on inside my house and yell "HELP!". My boyfriend and sister come out almost immediately, and the guy starts threatening my boyfriend. I find a way around this guy and run up the stairs as my boyfriend kicks the guy square in the chest and runs back up to see if I'm alright.
I don't know if the guy just walked away after that, cause I went in to call the cops and wouldn't dare look out the window. A police report was filed, even though they said 'this was probably just some crazy guy, following a pretty girl' story.
Unfortunately/Fortunately, I am 1,000 times more aware of how men on the street look at me now. In the past week after the incident, I have been followed once, and harassed on the bus/street daily. While I could have responded with more courage before this incident, now I feel (I hate* to admit it) but I feel vulnerable.
I found your website in search of answers on how to deal with this. But just writing what happened helps!

Here's the description on YouTube:
"A short film about street harassment that was researched, designed, scripted, filmed, directed and edited by volunteers from Initi8 at Nottingham Trent University with guidance and support from Gill Court at Platform 51 Nottingham. The film was inspired by Nottingham's International Women's Day events with the aim of raising awareness of street harassment of women and how it makes them feel."
It appears that the revolution will be televised! (On YouTube anyway).

So over the years I must have hundreds of stories of sexual harassment, catcalling, stalking ect. However I only have one story that truly haunts me, probably because it's the most disgusting I've ever experienced.
When I was in 6th grade, my friend and I went to the library to do a school project. We didn't have to do it at the library but I guess we just enjoyed the thrill of feeling old and cool being somewhere without our parents. Anyways, my friend and I were wondering around the library browsing through the shelves and giggling when we see an boy much older than us (I'm assuming he was 19-20..we were only like 12) We noticed him following us but brushed it off, thinking we were imagining it. However when we kept seeing him all over, we both started getting panicky. At one point he was right next to us, mouthing sexual comments. We still were in shock and had no idea what to do. We told the librarian but she was totally clueless and brushed it off. After seeing us go to the librarian, he backed off, which gave us time to run back up to the chidren's section and call my mother. She called us when she was outside but we were too petrified to come outside (we'd have to walk down two fights of stairs alone.) Seconds later, she came running up. We explained what had happened and she calmly escorted us out of the building. Once we get outside.. who do we see? The creep from earlier. What shocked me the most was how it didn't even phase him my mother was with us. He continued to stare us down and then he lifted up his baggy shirt and exposed himself. I believe his penis was out the whole time but had managed to concealed it. This guy honestly exposed himself to two 12 year olds and a parent right in front of a public library! Absolutely disgusted and petrified my mother called the police and we filed a report. We never heard of anything happening with the creep and the police didn't seem to think there was anything they could do since it was "he said she said", so he got off the hook. Needless to say, I never returned to that library. I still wonder if I was the only girl that happened to..

This happened a while ago (in 2005). At that time I lived next to the university campus which was rather a safe place. That evening on my way home from the nearby grocery store, I was carrying a heavy bag of groceries and another bag of papers and books from school. I was walking along in my own muse when I saw a guy in mid-20s on his bike coming towards me. I didn't think twice about it. But then as he got closer I found him staring at me. As he passed me by, he yelled, "Too bad you are not white." I have been catcalled many times before and since then on three different continents. But I am always caught by surprise and disgusted by it. This time though, I was just too perplexed by the comment to even figure out the meaning right away.
Later when I told my roommate and a couple of white friends about it, they said it was perhaps meant as a compliment on my good looks. Right, an unsolicited "compliment" on my appearance while putting my skin color down.

Now that Memorial Day has passed, let's look back at May's top defensive plays, according to the Plus/Minus system. The top Plus/Minus plays aren't always the flashiest plays; sometimes, the fielder was positioned perfectly or got a tremendous read on the ball off the bat and was able to make the play with relative ease. We'll go position by position:
First Base -- Ryan Raburn, Detroit Tigers, May 26, Bottom 7: Michael Saunders hit a hard ground ball that traveled over the base and into foul territory. Raburn (only 42 career innings at first base) dove, made the play and flipped to Jeremy Bonderman covering first. Not only does it go for a hit 97.5% of the time, but also that ball usually goes for a double.
Second Base -- Mike Aviles, Kansas City Royals, May 25, Top 4: Vladimir Guerrero is enough of a pull hitter that the Rangers employed the rare right-handed shift on him a few times last season. Apparently, Mike Aviles has been doing his homework, since he was ready for him. On a ground ball to the shortstop side of second base, Aviles ranged way beyond what is normal range for a second baseman and threw out the red-hot Guerrero. Aviles received a +0.99 for that play.
Shortstop -- Stephen Drew, Arizona Diamondbacks, May 15, Bottom 7: Martin Prado sent a rocket toward the 3B/SS hole that seemed destined for left field; in fact, hard ground balls at that angle go for hits 99.3% of the time. Drew laid out, came up with the ball and threw from his knees to nab Prado at first base. Drew also received +.99 plus/minus points for the play.
Third Base- Jhonny Peralta, Cleveland Indians, May 24, Top 8 and Don Kelly, Tigers, May 12, Top 6: Here's an example where the flashy play isn't necessarily the higher-rated play. Kelly's play definitely looked harder, but Peralta was positioned closer to the line and managed to range deeper into foul territory and stay on his feet. Kelly's play was made just 6% of the time over the past year, but Peralta's play was made only 1% of the time and saved a certain double.
Left Field- Conor Jackson, Arizona Diamondbacks, May 25, Bottom 5: At Coors Field, Conor Jackson tracked down a Brad Hawpe fly ball deep in the left-center field gap. Had his momentum not carried him so far away from the infield, Jackson also would have doubled Todd Helton off of first. It wasn't a flashy play, but Jackson had to cover a lot of group to save a sure RBI and extra-base hit. Similar balls fall for hits 88% of the time.
Center Field- Nate McLouth, Atlanta Braves, May 14, Top 2: After struggling with deep-hit balls near the wall earlier in his career (see the in-depth study in The Fielding Bible – Volume II), McLouth has played noticeably deeper, and it shows. Chris Young sent a deep fliner to left-center which McLouth caught at a dead sprint before crashing into the wall. Similarly-hit balls were caught only 11% of the time over the past year.
Right Field- Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland Indians, May 1, Top 9: With no-pop Drew Butera up in the ninth, Choo cheated in a bit; he should have cheated more. Butera placed a soft fliner in shallow right, but Choo made a diving catch to save the hit, garnering a +.875 plus/minus score on the play.

In all seriousness, why do I care if I get all my news on the internet?
I'm inclined to agree, but I'm looking for reason. I'm open to reason.
Note that twice, now, we have discovered that the FCC suppressed the results of its own studies on media consolidation after finding that results did not support the FCC's position that media consolidation is good for us.
Y Generation,
1) Internet providers are owned by big Telecom companies, and those companies...AT&T...can certainly get in on the media ownership game. So, the Internet is hardly safe from media consolidation. Read up on Net Neutrality, YG... current rules allow big Internet providers to discriminate against smaller content providers in terms of distribution.
2) You, Y Generation, may be a savvy and discerning Internet news hound, but a lot of folks aren't. And so, while you're well-armed with diverse, independent analysis, others—the majority of others, who can out-vote people like you at election time—are not. Soooo, don't you want those folks exposed to as many different sources as possible...rather than one giant media corp?
Right on, Josh.
Quoting from stopbigmedia.com, here's what's at stake:
Big Media stifle viewpoints: If a corporation like News Corp. can buy multiple media outlets in a single city or town, it gains immense influence over what information is available. Consolidated corporations strip local newsrooms of staff, while pushing aside competing points of view. That means less diversity of voices and a narrower range of debate.
Big Media don't serve local communities: In exchange for their free and exclusive use of the public airwaves, broadcasters such as Sinclair are supposed to serve the public interest. Yet they frequently ignore important local issues, pander to sensationalism, provide biased coverage of elections, and stifle diverse viewpoints.
Big Media ignore diversity: Corporate media conglomerates like Tribune Company are more concerned with profits than responsible programming. Coverage of issues important to people of color, the working class and rural citizens are squelched or ignored because these people aren't advertisers' target audiences.
And these are the costs of consolidation:
A handful of media companies dominate what you watch on television. As their influence spreads to other outlets, the diversity of what you see diminishes.
Five media conglomerates ¿ Viacom, Disney, Time Warner, News Corp. and NBC/GE ¿ control the big four networks (70 percent of the primetime television market share), most cable channels, as well as vast holdings in radio, publishing, movie studios, music, Internet and other sectors. (To learn more, visit StopBigMedia.com's ownership charts)
Minority ownership ¿ a crucial source of diverse and varied viewpoints -- is at a 10-year low, down 14% since 1997. Today, only 1.9% of television stations are minority-owned.
Media conglomerates now stand to make incredible new profits from the public airwaves with no accountability to the public interest.
Over the next few years, television conglomerates will begin broadcasting digitally. This means that in the space it used to take to broadcast the local affiliate of ABC, NBC or CBS, these corporations will now be able to fit six or more stations ¿ ABC-1, ABC-2, and so on. This opens up countless new revenue streams, and indeed, plans are already in the works to have infomercial-driven new channels pump up corporate profits.
The total worth of the publicly owned airwaves that U.S. broadcasters utilize has been valued at $367 billion -- more than the GDP of many nations ¿ but the public has never been paid a dime in return. Now, these conglomerates claim they can't afford to be accountable to the public interest.
Media consolidation has stifled independent voices and threatened public access to information.
Consolidation is killing local media choices. Since 1975, two-thirds of independent newspaper owners have disappeared, and one-third of independent television owners have vanished. Only 281 of the nation's 1,500 daily newspapers remain independently owned, and more than half of all U.S. markets are dominated by one paper.
Moreover, the number of radio station owners has plummeted by 34 percent since 1996, when ownership rules were gutted. That year, the largest radio owners controlled fewer than 65 stations; today, radio giant Clear Channel alone owns more than 1,200.
If the current ownership rules are eliminated, local communites will be turned into "company towns," where one media conglomerate dominates the public discourse.
Big Media wants the FCC to lift the restrictions on newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership and allow one company to own two or more television stations in a single market. If the rules are changed, the largest conglomerates will immediately begin swapping newspaper and television properties. Then the radio giants like Clear Channel will begin selling off their already consolidated radio holdings for billions to the other dominant companies, creating local and regional media fiefdoms.
If FCC Chairman Kevin Martin tries to push through changes similar to those rejected in 2003, one company could potentially own the major daily newspaper, eight radio stations and three television stations in the same town. Once the digital television transition is completed in 2009 ¿ allowing stations to broadcast multiple signals ¿ one company could control 12 or even 18 television channels in a single city.
Also important to note: this is not an "official" FCC Commission hearing, as only the two Democratic commissioners, Copps and Adelstein will be in attendance.
Still, any testimony presented will be taken into consideration during the full Commission's deliberations.
Ok, I see its importance.

ADHD Medication Titration Process: What to Expect
In this article
Titration is a big word that means working with your doctor to get your child's medication just right.
The goal is to find the dose (or amount) of medicine that controls your child's symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with the fewest side effects. Like any medicine, ADHD drugs can have side effects. And they don't work in exactly the same way for every child.
It can take time to find the right balance -- sometimes many weeks. But it is worth it. The doctor will usually tell you to give your child slightly more medicine every 1 to 3 weeks. They will continue this until your child's ADHD symptoms are controlled or they get side effects.
ADHD medication dosages should always be planned just for the needs of your child. There's no blanket treatment plan that works for everyone with ADHD.
How Titration Works
The doctor will start your child on a low dose of medicine. He will need to be on each medication dose for about a week. That will give you and your doctor a good idea of whether it's working. If your child starts feeling side effects, it can help you figure out how bad they might be.
Some side effects slowly get better over time. So it's important not to make changes too quickly, particularly if the medication works to control his symptoms.
When your child's doctor makes the titration plan, she should take into account your child's height, weight, and symptoms. She should also ask about your child's daily schedule and your family's needs.
How Will You Know If Treatment Is Working?
Medication is an important part of the overall treatment plan for children with ADHD. Doctors often prescribe stimulant medications or other drugs to control ADHD symptoms like:
- Hyperactivity
- Impulsivity
- Distractibility
- Short attention span
When on a proper dose, you may begin to see some of these get better.
What About Side Effects?
They can depend on the medication your child is prescribed. Stimulant medications are the ones most often prescribed.
Common side effects of these can include:
- Less appetite
- Weight loss
- Trouble sleeping
- Stomachache
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Personality changes (seems sad, too quiet, or zombie-like or irritable)

Cochlear implants are indicated for patients with sensorineural hearing loss that receive little to no benefit from conventional air conduction hearing aids. Sensorineural hearing loss originates in the cochlea (inner ear) or auditory nerve. Most cases of sensorineural hearing loss result from damage to the hair cells in the inner ear. Cochlear implants bypass the damaged hair cells in the inner ear by stimulating the auditory nerve directly. Conversely, conventional hearing aids just amplify the sound and pass it through the entire auditory system, including the damaged parts.

Campuses need a haven where students don't have to defend pro-Israel views, says group backing current guidelines.
A backlash against the growing Open Hillel movement has slowly been gaining support, with nearly 400 students backing Hillel International's ban on partnerships with groups that delegitimize the State of Israel.
Raphael Fils, a Boston University sophomore and Daniel Mael, a junior at Brandeis, started Safe Hillel in late February after the Vassar Jewish Union became the second Hillel-affiliated group to declare itself "open," and repudiate Hillel's Israel guidelines prohibiting partnerships with groups that support BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement against Israel or question its right to exist.
Mael and Fils say Hillel should be a refuge where students aren't forced to defend their pro-Israel views.
"It's not like I don't believe these debates should happen, I just don't believe Hillel is the place for them or that Hillel's funds should be paying for them," said Fils.
"Tons of students have reached out to me and explained how they feel uncomfortable on their campus and some of them are afraid to speak up," he added.
So Fils and Mael started two petitions. The first urges Hillel International to stand strong, while the second asks Open Hillel to stand down.
"Open Hillel has badly slandered Hillel International," said Mael. "They have attempted to portray Hillel as an unwelcoming space which doesn't host productive dialogue and isn't inclusive to all students. Safe Hillel is attempting to organize support for Hillel's guidelines."
The first petition was posted on Feb. 26. As of Tuesday morning it had 377 signatures, including nine students from Vassar.
The petition to Open Hillel, posted on the evening of March 1, says that while the petitioners want to be "open and inclusive" there are "some ideas and opinions that are unacceptable in the Jewish community."
Mael and Fils write that they are concerned about the "safety of Jewish students on campus if Open Hillel were to succeed with its current positions," and ask "the Open Hillel movement to amend their requests and impose a ban on speakers who advocate terrorism, are pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah, and/or favor the end of Jewish sovereignty in Israel." As of Tuesday morning, it had 71 signatures.
"The Open Hillel petition says that every organization has a boundary and that absolute openness is a farce," said Mael, adding that the NAACP wouldn't sponsor a speaker from the Klu Klux Klan.
"So we're asking them to amend their petition and once they acknowledge that there is a boundary we can have a legitimate conversation about where it should be established," he added.
Emily Unger, one of Open Hillel's founders, said her organization has always opposed "calls for violence, terrorism, anti-Semitism, or racism" and has had a statement to that effect on the group's website for months.
"Thus, it strikes us as strange that Safe Hillel is petitioning us to take up policies that we already support. Personally, I think this suggests that the founders of Safe Hillel have not fully researched our campaign or read most of our materials," she said in an email to The Jewish Week.
Fils and Mael started their petitions a week after Vassar's Jewish Union declared itself an Open Hillel in late February. It was the second Hillel to make the declaration, following Swarthmore's Hillel's declaration in early December.
The Open Hillel movement itself was started by The Harvard College Progressive Jewish Alliance a year earlier, in November of 2012, after Harvard's Hillel asked them to move a discussion, "Jewish Voices Against the Israeli Occupation" which they were hosting with the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee, to another venue. The event violated Hillel International's Israel Guidelines, which, in addition to banning partnerships with groups supporting BDS, also prohibit Hillel-affiliated groups from hosting or partnering with groups that "deny the right of Israel to exist … Delegitimize, demonize, or apply a double standard to Israel … [or] exhibit a pattern of disruptive behavior towards campus events or guest speakers or foster an atmosphere of incivility."
Over the past 15 months, more than 1,300 people have signed Open Hillel's petition asking Hillel to get rid of the guidelines, which Open Hillel says exclude some Jewish groups from campus Hillels and stifle "real conversations about Israel."
"Open Hillel calls for there to be space within Hillel to learn about, discuss, and debate the full range of political views on Israel including views on the right and the left," Unger wrote in the email. Not only will this "make more students feel welcome," at Hillel, but it will also let students learn about other perspectives, which is useful whether they end up supporting those views, or use the insights to make stronger arguments against them, she said.
But Mael said via email that this kind of exchange doesn't have to happen at Hillel. "It's not about liberal versus conservative. It is about whether or not donors and students should be supporting, funding and providing legitimacy to those who question Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Not a specific Israeli policy — Israel herself."
Originally, Mael and Fils had also planned to grant Hillels a Safe Hillel designation so that students would know that chapter follows Hillel's guidelines. They also planned to collect reports (signed or anonymous) about Hillels that violate the guidelines, or pro-Israel students being bullied, and send the information to the affected chapter and Hillel International and "work with them until the issue is resolved."
However, the pair removed those pages from their site over the weekend, saying they didn't want to give the impression they were trying to censor activity. Instead, they're hoping the petitions will empower students to voice their support for the guidelines, Mael said.
So far, Hillel's central office has been circumspect about Safe Hillel. David Eden, the foundation's chief administrative officer said his organization would be happy to speak with Mael and Fils. "Hillels are both safe and open for all students," Eden said in a statement last week. "The only Hillel movement I am aware of operates under the umbrella of Hillel International and includes more than 550 Hillels in North America and scores more in 13 countries on five continents, including many in the former Soviet Union."

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Let's be honest. Socialism/communism is not Jewish, though some people of Jewish descent belong to socialist/communist organizations. Hillel IS a Jewish organization on college campuses. That is a place where like minded young Jews can mingle and develop their identity and goals in a supportive environment. No one has a right to participate in a campus Hillel, Jewish or not, and advocate for anti-Jewish, socialist/communist goals. This is a free country; but not free to disrupt the assembly of Hillel participants.
Since my college days, I have seen the popularity of left-wing policies rise and fall. I guess that's just the way life is. But every student of history should realize that politics have consequences and they can be quite devastating. I believe we are entering one of those dangerous periods in history. This week alone, Al Qaida took over Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, and is marching on Baghdad. I believe US policies in the region were responsible for the loss. Oil prices are jumping. Everyone in the US, in the world, needs to be vigilant, now, because our economy, our lives depend on it. Jews need to wake up. The threats are real. Communism/socialism has never worked -anywhere- in history. The socialist/communist/ Arabist alliance is not about freedom, it is not about social justice. It is about dictatorship, tyranny, and death. If you don't believe me, travel to the Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, or many other nations on the map. Come back and tell us you love it. I look forward to hearing from you.
It is about time the majority of the Hillel students stood up against extremist anti-Israel activists that have infiltrated this organization. International Hillel should stand tough, cancel the "Open Hillel" charters on those campuses and wait 1-4 years to reestablish the chapters. After all, graduation solves all problems.
Thank you for getting the message across and allowing me to show support.
Miriam Lapping
Israel is the only Jewish state., And the only democratic state in the Middle East - Israel serves assistance to other countries and developing countries whenever it can! Israel has the right to exist without these ongoing interference that have no justifiable reason!
Divisiveness must end between Jews .
This is a time for unification not division.

Author Bio
Publisher Description
Neyrey builds upon the excellent scholarship of the past, and introduces into the discussion factors that were rarely understood or considered in earlier times: the social, political, and economic setting in which the New Testament Epistles were written and readthe church as a community within the larger context of the vast Roman Empire of the late first and early second centuries. And while these letters are often considered peripheral or marginal to the New Testament, they nevertheless reveal and interpret one of the murkier eras in the life of the church. They reflect the hard times and difficult circumstances of the faithful, beset by treacherous comrades within and malevolent enemies without. But all the while, these documents express the constancy and commitment of those who found salvation and the renewal of life in the one Lord, Jesus Christ.

SEOUL, March 24 (Yonhap) -- The number of public servants in South Korea is expected to surpass the 1 million mark soon, as the government plans to hire more police officers as part of efforts to guarantee public safety and security, the home affairs ministry said Sunday.
The government proclaimed on Saturday a revised law that stipulates the increase in the maximum number of public jobs under the central government by 20,000, according to the Ministry of Security and Public Administration.
The change calls for capping the number of civil servants under administrative agencies at 293,982, meaning that the number of all civil servants could top 1 million in the near future, the officials said.
As of end-November, the number of public officials amounted to 988,755. Of them, some 62 percent work under the administrative branch, including 349,917 public school teachers and 138,011 police officers and other law enforcement officials, the data showed.
"The expansion of the limit is a preliminary step mainly to increase the number of police officers by 20,000 as well as firefighters and those in charge of state welfare services in phases in line with the president's earlier pledge," said a ministry official.
President Park Geun-hye has vowed to increased the number of public jobs in the security and welfare sectors as part of efforts to guarantee safety and security of the public and to take care of people's livelihoods.
"Under the mid-term personnel plan, we will also seek efficient manpower management. Currently, the actual number of the public employees is some 24,000 less than the allowed maximum number," the official added.
The total number of employees under South Korea's general government, involving officials from central and local governments, and non-profit organizations, came to 1.39 million, or 5.7 percent of the country's economically active population, according to the data by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It fell short of the average for the OECD member countries of 15 percent.

Brief Synopsis
For more than 3 decades, the term "hollow army" or the more expansive idiom, "hollow force," has represented President Carter's alleged willingness to allow American military capability to deteriorate in the face of growing Soviet capability. The phrase continues to resonate today. In this current period of declining defense resources, the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have articulated how the newly released strategic guidance and budget priorities signify a concerted effort not to "hollow out" U.S. forces. They have affirmed their dedication to preventing the recreation of the ragged military and disastrous deterioration in defense capability the Carter administration allowed to occur. However, it is also time to reexamine the term "hollow army" and its meaning as the inevitable tug of war over defense spending gets underway. This Paper places the "hollow army" metaphor within its historical context: barely 5 years after the United States finally disengaged from a major war (Vietnam), a struggling economy, and an election year in which a President was not only tenuously leading in the polls, but also confronted substantial opposition from elements of his own political party. Over the years, a specific political reading of these events has taken hold. It is the purpose of this Paper to re-read the historical events, and in doing so, come to a better understanding of the domestic political and geostrategic environment during Carter's presidency, the U.S. Cold War strategy, and the assertions made concerning the readiness of the U.S. Army to perform its missions.

A Sporty Car Other Than a BMW
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: I have a 2002 BMW 540i with less than 85,000 miles. I was thinking of replacing it with a 2009 540i until the transmission went out, as it is unusual for the transmission to fail with such low mileage. I have always had my car serviced by the local dealership. However, while BMW agreed it was unusual for the transmission to fail, they refused to cover the repairs. Now I am rethinking my decision to purchase another BMW. Can you suggest another sporty car to purchase?
—Gayle Richter, Trabuco Canyon, Calif.
A: With proper maintenance, a transmission should not fail after 85,000 miles. Some BMW owners have said transmissions from 540 and 740-series sedans tend to "let go" before reaching 100,000 miles, though I haven't heard confirmation of a particular flaw that would cause premature failures.
While I don't think you should necessarily avoid the BMW, it is a good time to test-drive competing sport sedans, including the Audi A6 4.2, the Infiniti M45 and the largely unsung Acura RL.
Q: I'm a Dodge loyalist who needs to replace our 2000 Stratus with something bigger. We also need a vehicle with front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive capability. The Dodge Charger would fit the bill size-wise. Chargers have a rear-wheel-drive chassis, but some are equipped with all-wheel drive. Would the AWD Charger traverse snowy, hilly roads as well as the front-wheel-drive Stratus?
—John Schneider, Jefferson City, Mo.
A: All-wheel drive is typically better for driving in snow than front-wheel drive -- or at least it has the potential to be better. How well the all-wheel-drive Charger performs will depend on its tires. If you mount a set of good winter tires for the snowy season, the Charger will have better traction and move assertively on slippery roads. If you need even more space, you might even try the Dodge Journey crossover, which is reminiscent of the large station wagons that were popular in the 1960s and '70s.
Q: My current 2007 Infiniti M45 Sport 27-month lease for $840 per month is coming to an end in a few months. I love the car but need to downsize my payment to around $500 to $550 per month for the next two years. Any suggestions?
—Larry Gold, Barrington, Ill.
A: The new Hyundai Genesis would make a good replacement. It is a lot of car for the money and easily matches or exceeds the luxury and ride quality of pricier models. You could also try a smaller car like the Infiniti G35 or BMW 335i.
Q: I am coming off a Lexus RX 350 lease and have narrowed my new lease to another RX 350 or a similarly equipped Mazda CX-9. The Mazda would cost me about $2,600 less over the three-year lease, although it gets a bit less gas mileage. Also, the Mazda has a sportier, stiffer suspension, which gives the Lexus a plus in the ride comfort area. The power seems about the same.
I don't see nearly as many CX-9s on the road and don't know all that much about Mazdas, though I haven't heard many bad things from Mazda owners. Any opinion on the two vehicles?
—Paul Capobianco, Middle Village, N.Y.
A: The Mazda is a bigger vehicle at a lower price, so it seems like a better value. However, even when loaded with luxury options, it lacks the Lexus's sumptuousness. If you want a crossover that feels more like a sporty car, the Mazda is the clear winner. If electronic gadgets and a top-of-the-line interior mean more than handling and cargo capacity, the Lexus has the advantage.

Associated Press
Move over, website woes. Lawmakers confronted the Obama administration Tuesday with a difficult new health care problem — a wave of cancellation notices hitting small businesses and individuals who buy their own insurance.
At the same time, the federal official closest to the website apologized for its dysfunction in new sign-ups and asserted things are getting better by the day.
Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said it's not the administration but insurers who are responsible for cancellation letters now reaching many of the estimated 14 million people who buy individual policies. And, officials said, people who get cancellation notices will be able to find better replacement plans, in some cases for less.
The Associated Press, citing the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, reported in May that many carriers would opt to cancel policies this fall and issue new ones. Administratively that was seen as easier than changing existing plans to comply with the new law, which mandates coverage of more services and provides better financial protection against catastrophic illnesses.
While the administration had ample warning of the cancellations, they could become another public relations debacle for President Barack Obama's signature legislation. This problem goes to the credibility of one of the president's earliest promises about the health care overhaul: You can keep your plan if you like it.
In the spring, state insurance commissioners started giving insurers the option of canceling existing individual plans for 2014, since the coverage required under Obama's law is more robust. Some states directed insurers to issue cancellations. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected.
The cancellation notices are now reaching policyholders, and they've been complaining to their lawmakers — who were grilling Tavenner on Tuesday.
"Based on what little information the administration has disclosed, it turns out that more people have received cancellation notices for their health care plans this month than have enrolled in the [health care website]," said Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. He cited a news report of 146,000 cancellations in his state alone.
Up and down the dais, lawmakers chimed in with stories of constituents who had received similar notices. Republicans offered examples of people being asked to pay more.
Democrats countered by citing constituents who had been able to find lower-cost coverage than they have now. Ranking Democrat Sander Levin of Michigan said one of his constituents has been paying $800 a month for a BlueCrossBlueShield plan and managed to find comparable coverage for $77, after tax credits that lower the premiums.
It could take months to sort out the balance of individual winners and losers. There's not a central source of statistics on how many people have gotten cancellations. Even the number of people who buy insurance individually is disputed.
SN You are nothing more then a kool aid drinking liberturd who believes everything the LIAR boy in the White House tells you.. He is suppose to have known this for months but still lie to the general public. If you would have taken the time to read said bill you too would realize that all of the general tax paying public is going to suffer over this lying boy grand gesture. By paying HIGHER taxes so that the poor can be subsidize for their expenses .So how is that fair? In the coming months all pay checks will be shrinking considerably. Let's see what you think then!
The existing individual plans did not include the minimum standards simply because they are not additional services that the customer needed. They were available at additional cost much like auto insurance where you can purchase towing or rental coverage.
The ACA required minimum standards are::
1. Ambulatory patient services
2. Emergency services
3. Hospitalization
4. Maternity and newborn care
5. Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment
6. Prescription drugs
7. Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices
8. Laboratory services
9. Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
10. Pediatric services, including oral and vision care
Of the 10, only the following were generally not included in an individual plan:
1. Maternity & newborn
2. Mental health & substance abuse
3. Pediatric dental & vision
The statement "People who purchased these health care policies were duped into thinking that they were getting a good quailty health care policy." is simply not true.
Substandard as now defined by Obamacare is one that does not meet all of the above 10 minimums. As you can see there are provisions which are not applicable to all yet we are being forced to pay for a one size fits all. Get your facts straight. Individual policies can include additional benefits such as maternity or mental health if you wish to add on just a your auto insurance is customizable.
If your auto insurance policy renewal now required minimum standards to include dog walking, house cleaning, towing, road hazard and rental along with $1 million dollar maximums you would see an increase in premiums but would not consider your previous coverage to be substandard.
I listened to Obama's speech today where he used the same "substandard" language. Once again playing the blame game for millions of Americans loosing their insurance coverage. This time it's the insurance companies fault, not the fact that he changed the rules that you can't keep your plan.
Your comments above are a slap in the face of hard working honest middle income wage earners, small business owners and individuals who purchase individual insurance policies to protect their families instead of relying on the government to bail them out. The fact of the matter is that people who are independent, self supporting, responsible tax payers are now seeing that they are being forced to purchase plans that they do not want.
By raising the poverty level to 400% the government is hoping that people will be happy to give up their independence to get a government hand out. The insurance company lobbyists are laughing all the way to the bank as their companies raise premiums and out of pocket dollars only to be "insured" by the government.
Seriously, I do not agree with you on this "substandard" claim. The list, put together by the ACA includes what used to be standard plus what was previously considered optional. You cannot change the rules as they have and suddenly deside that the previous benefits were not appropriate. I would agree if they required improvement to what was offered because they were lacking or as in your examples for safety reasons, but the new requirements are only to add benefits that are not necessarily needed and were available to the market if wanted... at additional cost. Tricky word (substandard) to get you to think that they are saving you from harm.
So you would agree that if we set new standards for auto insurance to include dog walking, house cleaning , rentals and towing for all because some people need that coverage? Of course you we'll all have to pay higher premiums.
I'm getting tired of these word plays.
seriouslynow: Yes, individual policies will state what they exclude ie: maternity or substance abuse. Laws such as ERISA, HIPAA, standard and basic plan regulation and prohibiting cancellation if you get sick are already in place.
If you purchase a policy that covers your individual needs, unless they deny something not covered by the policy provisions and exclusions you should not be surprised. What surprises are individuals going to have when they choose the Bronze plan that pays only 60% of the covered expenses over the more expensive plans.
You are acting as though these standards do not already exist.
"substandard plans" word play!
I'd like to challenge you on what exactly you think was not being provided by individual plans that would be considered substandard. Important to note that unless plans have all 10 of the minimum requirements they are now being called substandard.
Here are some facts to consider:
Per HHS a number of Essential Health Benefit categories, including ambulatory care, emergency care and hospitalization services, are currently covered by ALL or nearly ALL existing health plans.
However, maternity and newborn care was covered by 34% of plans, pediatric dental and vision care, 24%, mental health services 61% and substance use disorder services 54%.
What was not covered? Maternity and newborn care, pediatric dental and vision, substance abuse. Of those, none are applicable to my family.
I'm still waiting for you to answer my challenge.
Insurance companies determine price actuarially. If you have a group policy with a mix of young and old, male and female the risk is spread out and the cost comes down. For an individual policy, the risk "is what it is". The additional coverage must assume that we have a need so they've come up with a cost of well...double.
From the back of the letter from Aetna:
"We estimate 94% of the average 2014 ACA plan rate increase relative to the average 2013 plan rate is due to healthcare reform. Each member's actual percent increase may vary from this average depending upon the current plan you are enrolled in, the plan you choose in 2014, whether tobacco rates will apply in 2014, where you reside, your age and gender, and whether or not the rate you currently pay was increased due to an underwriting review. For families enrolling more than 3 dependent children under age 21, the impact of healthcare reform will likely be less than average. These increases are due to the Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and not the enactment of any laws or regulations of the Governor, or Department of Insurance."
I still object to the term "substandard" since the only change is to add benefits that were considered extras in the past as mandated by the ACA. The core benefits remain the same.
Who knows? Maybe insurance companies have found a way to easily double their profits if folks are eligible for govt. subsidies that offset their cost. Ins companies were in fact the authors of the ACA. We'll just have to sign up to find what else is in it.

Like so many others, I've found the new version of WP 2.7.1 to be so slow as to be almost unusable.
It's obviously a major issue judging by the number of complaints about it.
I'm running mine on a local sever so there is no reason for it to be slow, but it crawls like a dying slug.
I think the WP crew need to officially address this problem and put something in the upgrade instructions as to how to make it run properly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Other than that it looks great, and the functionality seems to be huge improvement.
Thanks in advance.

EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding urged Bulgarian politicians Tuesday to stop quarrelling and end the political crisis gripping the bloc's poorest country after 40 days of protests.
"Stop the political quarrelling! That is the message I gave to the two big political parties," Reding told journalists after a lively two-hour public debate in Sofia.
"When a country is in trouble and it seems that there are problems to be solved in this country, it is for political parties to forget about their fights," she said.
She added that the parties must "sit down together and exercise their obligations to solve the problems and not to create supplementary problems."
Thousands of Bulgarians fed up with corruption and poverty have taken to the streets every evening since June 14 calling for the Socialist-backed government of non-partisan Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski to resign.
The previous rightwing government of Boyko Borisov threw in the towel in February after nationwide protests, prompting early elections on May 12.
Since joining the European Union in 2007, Bulgaria's efforts to reform its judiciary and tackle graft and organised crime have been closely scrutinised by Brussels.
Reding said that this would continue as long as is necessary as "an agent for change".
"You can count... on us pushing your government into a real fight against corruption," she said.

Yes, I know to Christians the story of Jesus is considered sacred. Does that mean that you refuse to objectively evaluate the history of Christianity? Apparently it does.
And btw, the statement that "we are a country founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs" is _not_ supported by the evidence. The people who founded our nation represented a broad array of beliefs (and non-beliefs) and what is clear from the process they employed in creating our constitution and the document itself is that they worked hard to keep religion of all types away from the government.

And you fell for the idiotic vitriol spewed in that interview by foxnews.
If we followed your logic (and the logic of the woman who interviewed her on foxnews) then we wouldn't have much history to study from. History is constantly written, rewritten, rehashed, and disputed by outsiders. Guess who has written most Native American history? Yep, you guessed it, white Christians, NOT Native Americans. When you study the Holocaust or WWII, are the authors Jewish Europeans or German Nazis, or "outsiders?"
Proclaiming that only Christians can write about Christianity and Muslims can only write about Islam is that same close-minded mentality that foxnews was trying to sell. If anything, the bias of being "an outsider" helps eliminate the bias that would otherwise be present in a "reborn" or otherwise "converted" Christian. It completely ignores how history has been written and studied.
In other words, Foxnews presented a stupid trap and you foolishly fell for the bait. They merely wanted to stir the pot and generate hard feelings in their base towards this author, and it worked. More class warfare on the basis of religion. divide and conquer! So sad.

Hence Dorothy, why this book is peer-reviewed. Because obviously, everyone has a
bias. But the hopes are, peers who have studied history and religion can now
read and study this book and review it. They can critique it. They can show what
he got wrong and what he got right. This isn't some attack on Christianity
but a scholarly study of it. Chances are, you weren't going to read it
anyway (no matter what the author's religion was).
So stop sweating over the small stuff. If anything, the completely disrespectful interview by Fox News was a bigger deal. How dare you invite a scholar, like the author of this book, and treat him in such a ridiculous manner! That girl did no research on him and kept asking the same questions, "how his faith in Islam has made his writings about Christianity worthless."

Aslan's religious affiliation recuses him from writing historical commentaries which might conflict with your "sacred" beliefs? (By the way, his wife was raised evangelical Christian and he has a PhD in religious history.) He has been accused of "bias." Which is more objective, a believer who tries to reconcile history to fit their preconceived beliefs, or an outsider who looks at the facts and uses logical conclusions. "Zealot" should not be that controversial. Jesus would have been viewed as political rebel by the Romans. According to the New Testament, he was crucified for what we call today "sedition" or "treason." The crime of those crucified was posted. For Jesus it read "King of the Jews."

Just a remind,
Jews don't believe Jesus is God either, and is at best only a prophet.
Muslims believe the same, if not HIGHER moral values than most Jews or Christians.
[no drugs, no alcohol, no pornography, no abortions, no homosexuality, no pre or extra marital sex, praying 5 times daily, fasting, strong families, a literal resurrection, Jesus is the final Judge, ect.]
Hence their calling America the "Great Satan".
[they see America with it's sex, drugs, bikinis, most people living together, ]
So much for the letter writers claim of America's higher morality.
