Activist Investor Turns His Attention to Giant Tires
Activist investor Mark Rachesky, a former protégé of Carl Icahn, has plowed into farm tractor tire maker Titan International with a 10.9% stake in the company's stock.
Titan's shrinking market share, its sinking stock price and recent strategic missteps make the company a target of opportunity for activists. Titan's stock price is down 22% in the past 12 months, while the broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 Index is up 23%. Titan was recently trading down 2.3% at $18.72 a share.
MHR's regulatory filing on Titan did not reveal a specific purpose for the investment. The firm said it intends "engage in discussions with [Titan] management and others concerning the business and operations of the" the company. That's the standard language activists use to signal their intent to use their large stakes to make changes.
A spokesman for Mr. Rachesky declined to comment further. Titan did not return a call on MHR's investment.
Mr. Rachesky's MHR Fund Management LLC reported Tuesday that it obtained 5.8 million shares of Titan in recent weeks, making the firm Titan's second-largest shareholder behind mutual fund manager BlackRock Fund Advisors with 11.3%, according to Factset.
Mr. Rachesky, who also holds a medical degree, co-founded MHR after working as Mr. Ichan's chief investment officer during the 1990s. While Mr. Icahn has a reputation for proxy fights and verbal skirmishes with other investors, Mr. Rachesky maintains a low profile. He's known for being a value-minded investor who looks for access to the boardrooms of the companies he invests in.
He's chairman of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. and used his large stake in the TV and movie studio to defeat an alternative slate of board candidates in offered by Mr. Icahn in 2010. He's also chairman of Leap Wireless International Inc. and a director for commercial truck maker Navistar International, where he and Mr. Icahn own nearly identical 16% stakes.
Titan Chairman and Chief Executive Maurice Taylor has headed the Quincy, Ill., company for 20 years. Mr. Taylor built the company by methodically acquiring the off-road tire and wheel plants mostly discarded by large tire makers. His recent acquisitions include Goodyear Tire and Rubber's farm tire business in Brazil. Mr. Taylor, whose gruff demeanor and protracted contract battles with the United Steel Workers Union earned him the nickname "The Grizz," waged a brief campaign for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination.
Titan also makes wheel rims and tires under the Goodyear brand. It supplies tires for farm machinery built by Deere & Co and other farm equipment manufacturers. Farm sector sales make up about 60% of Titan's $2 billion in annual sales. The company though has been steadily losing share in the tire replacement market for tractor tires. Replacement tires generally carry a higher margin than tires sold to new equipment manufacturers.
Titan's share of rear-tire replacement market for tractors declined to 15% in 2013 from 22% in 2012, according to a tire trade publication. Five years ago, Titan's share was 39% in 2009. Meanwhile, Titan's share of the radial tire market for ag equipment has fallen by almost 60% since 2008. Experts attribute the decline to stiffer competition from tire industry heavyweights Michelin and Bridgestone and upstart rivals, such as India's Balkrishna Industries Titan has also suffered from series of strategic and operational misfires in recent years that have undermined investors' faith in Mr. Taylor. The company repeated missed quarterly earnings guidance last year.
"There is a growing chorus from investors that the company should hire a production specialist and a chief operating officer," said Lawrence De Maria, an analyst for William Blair & Co.
Titan moved aggressively into the tire market for large mining equipment by acquiring a Bryan, Ohio, tire plant in 2006 to produce tires for giant dump trucks. But Titan's 63-inch diameter tires quickly developed a reputation for poor durability that kept Titan from making headway in the market. Moreover, prices for big tires and demand for them have been falling lately because of the downturn in the mining industry, making Titan's ability to remain in the market even more precarious.
Mr. Taylor has spoken recently about shifting production away from mining equipment to construction machinery, specifically tires for large wheel-loaders. Analysts say Mr. Taylor also has floated the idea of breaking up Titan by selling the mining and construction tire business or spinning it off as a separate company. Corporate breakups are typically popular with activist investors, especially when the companies use the proceeds to buy back stock. But some analysts are skeptical that Titan's stock would benefit much from a breakup.
"We don't believe there is an obvious way to split the company into parts, given that much of the tire and wheel production for both ag and mining happens at common plants," said Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann. "We aren't convinced the valuation for either separate business would be significantly different."

Curious - are you ladies strict on certain things you eat and/or your children eat?? If so - what do you eliminate?
I am not as strict about diet as I should be. I try to avoid sugar because I am diabetic, but my relationship with food iis not the best and so i do eat what I shouldn't from time to time. I can't have sweets or cookies in the house becuase I will eat them until they are gone!
My oldest is celiac so I have to be very strict with her diet. i do allow her to have some candies (not every day) that she can have. We try not to have any soft drinks. Avoid artificial sweeteners, and eat veges and fruits daily. I only eat veges not fruits becuase I try to follow a low carb diet. We also try to buy free range eggs and meats (organic meats are way expensive here and outside budget). We avoid high fructose corn syrup totally and I read labels to be sure of this.
We also avoid corn for her (and I am concern about GM), so we don't buy any foods with corn in them unless they are certified GM free.
I'm fairly strict with our diets, no processed foods/preservatives, meats are pastured raised, I buy organic whenever possible, eat only whole foods, our diet is paleo based etc.
Also I just have to clarify...if you eat some fish then you are technically not a vegan, you are a pescatarian :) I used to be pescatarian but started incorporating other meats back in as long as they are pastured/grass fed. I try super hard to avoid conventionally raised meat.

The Irish reflex of looking the other way when you're not directly implicated may be a consequence of colonialism, or it might be universal human nature.
If you spend your whole life bracing for the hammer to fall you might want to pretend it isn't happening when it hits your neighbor instead of you. How else to explain Ireland's shocking code of silence when it comes to the decades long abuses perpetrated by the state and religious orders against our own children?
It's become a cliché for generations of Irish people who lived through those years to claim they had no idea what was going on. That claim rings as hollow as the ones made by wives and families of former concentration camp guards during World War II, though. Willful ignorance is not actual ignorance.
Decade after decade unruly young working class Irish boys with no one to protect their wellbeing were sent to brutal Victorian era industrial schools up and down the country.
High spirited girls were abandoned to the modern day slavery of the Magdalene laundries, and terrified children came home to their parents with tales of inappropriate priests, yet for generations all of their claims were absorbed by the wall of silence and shame that had been carefully placed between them and their own agency, taking away every opportunity for justice or redress.
It wasn't just that something bad had happened to them. They discovered that the Irish state and religious authorities had made the idea of discussing the abuse so taboo that they found they couldn't even raise their voices in their own defense.
It does something to people, justice denied. It disavows the abuse they suffered. It's a further form of abuse itself, in fact.
You don't need to tell that to Gerard Mannix Flynn, the writer and performer of James X, the shocking and often immensely powerful testament of one of Ireland's forgotten boys directed by film star Gabriel Byrne and now playing at 45 Bleecker Theater in New York.

Ireland ups flow of greatest export - culture
Flynn had his childhood (and most of his life) stolen from him by the serial abusers of the notorious St. Joseph's Industrial School in remote rural Letterfrack, Co. Galway.
Opened in 1887 and run by the Christian Brothers, the mountain of evidence concerning sexual abuse and severe physical punishments meted out there was continually dismissed by both church and state in a damage limitation exercise. Authorities still looked the other way, even when evidence suggested the shockingly high number of fatalities of young boys at the school amounted to homicides rather than head colds.
In James X Flynn, who has campaigned against the sexual and physical abuse of the religious orders since the eighties, long before Irish officials took up his call, has elected to deliver a semi-autobiographical account of the actual horrors he experienced, perhaps out of a reflexive need to maintain some distance between himself and what he lived through.
Watching the play, you don't begrudge him any of the choices he makes onstage, but that's not to say that James X doesn't have some thematic inconsistencies that distract rather than illuminate.
A device revealed late in the play turns Flynn into an unreliable narrator, a dangerous development in a play that stands as a testament to social truths.
Although the audience completely understands Flynn's distancing tactic -- multiple clarifying references to the effect that decades of abuse had on Flynn's mental health leave us in no doubt -- even so, it's a disorientating exercise in a play that otherwise leaves no room for misinterpretation.

It aims to collectively build an understanding and foster a dialogue on where ideas and concepts of Service Design have come from, how these evolved over the last two decades as well as report and review current research and service design practices. The motivation is to consolidate existing knowledge and to support the growth of a research community that engages in meaningful research relevant to the challenges design is dealing with today and in the future.
While Service Design is now being acknowledged by most within the design community, the various initiatives, events and research projects that aim to define what Service Design is and does are starting to grow in number with little focus and on shaky foundations. Likewise, design practices are quickly evolving to stretch existing boundaries and to question again the reason and need for this specialisation (in Service Design).
We argue that to support the growth of activities around Service Design, there needs to be a space for deep self-reflection on its theories and practices. The idea is to create solid foundations for its further development both in education and research and to support an open and diverse research community as well as interdisciplinary dialogues with other related disciplines.
The 'Service Design Research' initiative will start as an online blog that will host interviews with key people working in the Service Design Research area. This sharing of knowledge, experiences and opinions on Service Design will allow us to compile downloadable reports, generate fundamental insights and create the necessary network and themes that will allow us to set up or inform potential research events.

Help with EXT_transform_feedbackPosted Monday, 29 June, 2009 - 06:21 by kvark in
Whatever I pass to GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings it crashes with exception:
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at OpenTK.Graphics.GL.Delegates.TransformFeedbackVaryings.Invoke(UInt32 program, Int32 count, String varyings, TransformFeedbackMode bufferMode)
at OpenTK.Graphics.GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings(UInt32 program, Int32 count, String varyings, TransformFeedbackMode bufferMode)
at kri.TransFeedback.setup(ShaderProg prog, String[] vars) in E:\pr\boo\engine\Shader.boo:line 90
at demo.MyAni..ctor() in E:\pr\boo\demo\demo.boo:line 22
at demo.DemoModule.Main(String[] argv) in E:\pr\boo\demo\demo.boo:line 80
The only way to make it work is to pass 0 as count and "" as varyings. I'd be very happy to see any example of using it with 1-2 varyings...
These are examples I tried (all with 1 varying) without luck:
"out_pos "
Thanks in advance.
The singature for
GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings looks wrong, I think it should take a
string[] instead of
string. Let me verify that and make a fix.
Other than that, what video card & drivers are you using? I've seen reports of transform feedback crashing on Ati cards (but this might have been fixed in the meanwhile).
Yes, it seems that GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings should accept a list of strings (as it does in C). However, I haven't succeeded getting it to work under unmanaged C++ code (It didn't throw exception on this step, but did't work anyway).
I have Catalyst 9.5 on Radeon HD 4670 (mobility).
I am working on a fix for the string array issue.
An option is to test with Mesa3d to see whether it is a driver bug. If you haven't already done this, you can also compile against the debug OpenTK dll, which checks for OpenGL errors automatically.
Thanks! The feedback was really fast.
Haven't tried with Mesa still...
Linking with debug OpenTK dll by default.
Will patiently wait for the fix.
Issue with string[] fixed in rev. 1926 and 1927 for 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 respectively.
If you wish you can download the code from svn or wait for the next refresh this weekend.
Thanks! I've built the project from fresh SVN sources.
Just wondering: why is there a 'count' param of GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings?
It seems to me that you may just use varyings.Length instead...
This is a legacy of the C api that cannot be fixed by the binding generator automatically. We tend to add 'convenience' functions by hand to handle these kinds of parameters for you (see for example ShaderSource). The quickest way to get something like that fixed is to post a feature request or even a patch (these additions are typically just a couple lines of code to 'Source/OpenTK/GraphicsGLHelper.cs').
That said, you might wish to have a large array of strings and pass subsets of it around - the 'count' param can help here.
I can use slicing in the case of large string array.
I got it about the GraphicsHelper. It's not difficult to pass Length on my side anyway.
Now the GL.TransformFeedbackVaryings finished without error.
The next operation I do is binding output buffer:
GL.BindBufferBase(BufferTarget.TransformFeedbackBuffer, 0, bufferId)
It produces error Invalid Operation.
According to the spec (http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/transform_feedback.txt):
BindBuffer* instruction can produce this error only in case of Transform Feedback being already active at the time of call. In my case it's not active, I even tried to call GL.EndTransformFeedback to ensure that (it produced error, obviously).
'bufferId' in my case is a valid VertexBufferObject containing 6 Vector2h values. I tried to render it into 2 triangles with success.
Any ideas what's wrong with BindBufferBase?
Trying BindBufferRange:
c_ind as uint = 0 buffId as uint //assigned during VBO creation, filled with 4 Vector2h data GL.BindBufferRange(BufferTarget.TransformFeedbackBuffer, c_ind, buffId, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr( 1 ))
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at OpenTK.Graphics.GL.Delegates.BindBufferRange.Invoke(BufferTarget target, UInt32 index, UInt32 buffer, IntPtr offset, IntPtr size)
at OpenTK.Graphics.GL.BindBufferRange(BufferTarget target, UInt32 index, UInt32 buffer, IntPtr offset, IntPtr size) in c:\svn\opentk\Source\OpenTK\Graphics\GL\GL.cs:line 24894
at demo.MyAni..ctor() in C:\pr\boo\demo\demo.boo:line 41
at demo.DemoModule.Main(String[] argv) in C:\pr\boo\demo\demo.boo:line 88
It crashes regardless of the last parameter (maximum size of data to be written in machine units).
A driver bug? Or another OpenTK issue?
I have a parallel discussion on OpenGL.org about that:
I just checked and the function signature matches the spec. This either points to a driver bug or some unsupported state (Ati drivers sometimes crash instead of generating an error). I haven't used transform feedback before, so can't tell which it is.
The best solution is to check what happens on nvidia. If you don't have nvidia hardware next best solution is to find someone who has. Third best is to check with Mesa3d (it comes with a visual studio solution, so just download a zip, compile & copy all dlls to your project folder).
Edit: you should also try using a GL 2.1 context. Ati's 3.0 codepath still suffers from some strange errors (e.g. no vsync on Linux and other issues).

Should Know Before Knitting for a Man
(Plus the Only 10 Patterns She'll Ever Need), by Bruce Weinstein, LYS owner, knitting teacher, and cookbook author in/near New York City. He knits for a man, too, so he knows whereof he speaks.
Some idea of the "Rules," so I don't give the whole show away:
"Rule 1: Men Can't Fake It." If he doesn't like the sweater/item, he won't wear it to make you happy; he can't fake liking it.
"Rule 2: Men Resist Change. If he's over 15, he's probably got his style locked in--and he likes it.... So if he knows what he likes, get used to it."
"Rule 5: Not All Men Are Worthy of Cashmere." Weinstein backs this one up with a shocking true story told to him by a distressed customer whose husband...well, this is a family forum, so I won't detail what happened. The take-home lesson is: Don't give Fancy Fibers to men who think everything can be thrown into the laundry basket.
The patterns in
Knits Men Want
--Ski Sweater
--Basic Pullover and Vest (with variations)
--Basic Cardigan, two ways
--Raglan-Sleeved Henley
--Hooded (or not) Sweatshirt
--Baseball Jersey
--Fingerless Mitts
--Thick and Warm Socks
--Reversible Cable Scarf
--Watch Cap ("When in doubt, make something basic")
Hope this helps.
There's an assumption there that I sort of take exception to and that is that only men look at clothes that way. Those don't just apply to men. Some of us women who prefer jeans and shirts over anything else are much the same way. I see lots of things I'd love to knit but would never want to wear. My last serious relationship included men's shirts that I just loved to wear. Maybe he got tired of me borrowing his clothes?
Cheating is an option. . . . Cheaters never win and winners never cheat, but smart knitters who want to retain an iota of sanity do, cheerfully. ~~Kory Stamper

In Spite of the Recovery, More Workers Are Borrowing From 401(k)s
One statistic about U.S. household finances is so startling that it deserves its own post: Nearly one in three employees say they took a hardship loan or distribution from their 401(k) retirement accounts last year, up from one in four in 2011. Considering that hardship loans and distributions can trigger penalties or other costs, this is an expensive proposition.
Then there are the ripple effects: Borrowers miss out on any investment gains, like the market's big rally over the past four years, and—as Nick Summers and I reported in our mega financial planning flow chart—it's wise to shore up retirement savings before paying for other things, such as buying a house or saving for a kid's education.
To understand what's driving the increased desperation, even as the U.S. economy recovers, it helps to break down the data (PDF). The financial-education firm behind the study, Financial Finesse, provided Bloomberg Businessweek with additional stats that shows three groups struggling more than others:
Women. Thirty-four percent of female employees said they took 401(k) loans or hardship distributions, compared to just 23 percent of men—a wider gap than in 2011.
Lower-income employees. Forty-five percent of employees earning from $35,000 to $60,000 said they had to tap their 401(k)s, compared to 11 percent of people earning more than $200,000.
Younger workers. Those aged 30 to 44 reported a big increase in hardship loans and distributions, going from 27 percent in 2011 to 37 percent in 2012.
Whether these trends continue depends on how much more the economy rebounds. If it continues to grow unevenly, more Americans will need to raid their retirement funds to make ends meet.

"'Copacabana (At The Copa)' by Barry Manilow (I can't believe I just admitted that). She and I used to BLAST it when I was a kid and dance around the living room to it."
"My mom listened to the oldies. She would get all swoony whenever 'Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers came on. It would always make her want to dance (and sing horribly) in the kitchen. I think it might be her favorite song, and it's featured in one of her favorite movies, Ghost."
Dominica Eriksen, art intern
Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief
"Anything that Jonathan Schwartz plays on his radio show! He's on the air on the weekends on our NPR station (WNYC), but when I was growing up, he was on a local radio station in New York City, and my mom listened to him whenever she could. I'm talking Sinatra, Streisand, Broadway tunes, big bands and the like. All of that 'American songbook' music reminds me of my mom."
Wendy Marcus, copy director
"The song that reminds me most of my mom is 'Now and Forever' by Carole King. Years ago, my siblings and I made her a CD for Mother's Day, each including a song we associate with her, and this was my selection. I don't know if it hearkens back to watching A League of Their Own together, or hearing her sing along to it on the way home from a high school soccer game, but the lyrics are perfect. And every time I hear it I can't help but think of her!"
Andrea Bartz, editorial assistant
"It's kind of sappy, but 'Wind Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler always makes my mom cry. She loves it and it always makes me think of her."
Runa Bhattacharya, beauty assistant
"My mom and I have been running together for years. The first summer we started jogging together, we both had the song 'Roll to Me' by Del Amitri on our running mixes (they were on cassette tapes, if you can believe). Whenever I hear that song, I think of my mom, and that summer."
Erin Hobday, senior nutrition editor
"I think of 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor because my mom is so strong. She and my dad immigrated here from Russia when my mom was only 23, and I think having to assimilate in New York City made her tough as nails!"

FRESNO — Times have changed for the band once affectionately known as Alcoholica.
For Metallica, the band that spearheaded a thrash metal revolution from the Bay Area in the 1980s before becoming global rock superstars in the 1990s, the road is now a family-friendly place.
"Everybody's on the same page; it's not like two guys are bringing their kids on the road and two other guys are sitting around with 13 strippers doing blow all day," says drummer Lars Ulrich. The four members now have a total of 10 kids, all 10 or younger — and, Ulrich says, "in some weird way, it's actually brought us closer together, because Metallica's not the only thing we share now."
Ulrich is speaking about the new life for Metallica just before the band takes the stage at the Save Mart Center here, part of a national tour that brings them to Oakland's Oracle Arena on Saturday for their first full-scale Bay Area show in four years. The tour comes after the group's new album — "Death Magnetic,'' its triumphant return to its '80s roots — and just before the release of Metallica's very own version of "Guitar Hero."
Backstage at the arena, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is groggy, and he tries to perk himself up with a cup of tea as he sits on a couch in a spartan room set aside for some interviews.
"I'm trying to juggle rock stardom and parenthood," says Hammett, 46, who had been awoken early at his home in San Francisco that morning by his children, ages 5 months and 2. "But when we hit the stage, it's just like all that lack of sleep goes away for two hours."
He's right. At 9 o'clock, the band practically sprints to its places on stage to tear into "That Was Just Your Life," the opening track from the new "Death Magnetic," as a web of multicolored lasers frames the stage. For the next two hours, 15,000 fans bang their heads just like in the days of old — though a good percentage of the male heads no longer have much hair on them.
Ulrich is at center stage on a circular drum riser, inciting the crowd, so full of energy he can barely stay on his stool. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, who founded the band with Ulrich in 1981, furiously barks lyrics from eight microphones placed around the edge of the stage, then warmly addresses the crowd, the "Metallica family." Hammett stalks the stage, shredding the killer leads that made him Rolling Stone's 11th greatest rock guitarist of all time. New bassist Robert Trujillo — an easygoing, kindhearted ex-Ozzy Osbourne sideman — completes the quartet.
"Death Magnetic" is being almost universally hailed as a return to form, the band's best work since at least 1991's multi-platinum breakthrough "Metallica" (the "black album"), which was the beginning of the band's collaboration with producer Bob Rock. Though the band's albums consistently reached No. 1 over Rock's tenure, fans and critics never warmed to the slower, bluesier "Load" and "Reload" the way they did to '80s classics like "Master of Puppets." 2003's "St. Anger" was more of a primal scream than an enjoyable rock album, a brutal, unadorned audio onslaught that didn't even have any guitar solos. It was time for a change.
This time, the band turned to Rick Rubin, the guru-like producer whose jaw-dropping résumé includes landmark albums from Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Dixie Chicks. Back came the guitar solos and complex song structures, with the average song clocking in at nearly eight minutes. Rock, the technical musician, was gone, replaced by Rubin, the ultimate fan, the Zen master of vibe.
"Basically, that kind of instinct was what we needed, because in the past we've gotten bogged down in musical matters and have wasted a lot of time intellectualizing why something sounds better," Hammett says. "He's not bogged down by any of that, and it really helped us."
Even notorious control freaks Ulrich and Hetfield deferred to Rubin's discerning ears.
"We took a step back and let go," Ulrich says, "and I think it helped the environment that we were making the record in, and it helped probably the record itself."
Many fans wondered why it took so long to return to the sound that made them metal icons in the 1980s.
"You know, if we would have put this album out in the '90s, I don't know if there would be as much fanfare as there is now," Hammett says. "And the fact that we did the things we did in the '90s kind of makes this album stand out more and makes it that much sweeter to a lot of our fans who have been wanting this."
While the music has been widely praised, the recording itself has received criticism. "Death Magnetic" is perhaps the most extreme example to date of a modern trend to make recordings sound more exciting by compressing the dynamic range, the difference between the loudest and softest parts. The result is a higher overall volume, which makes an MP3, for example, sound more immediately ear-catching through car or computer speakers.
But audiophiles say in the long run, over a good stereo system, it makes recordings grating, less emotionally affecting and audibly distorted. At press time, nearly 19,000 fans had signed an online petition asking the band to remix or remaster the album. The band is not interested.
"I listen to 'Death Magnetic' in my car, and it sounds great," Ulrich says, though he admits Rubin pushed the envelope with his mix. "I don't think this record sounds beyond the acceptable limit, but other people have a different opinion, and that's OK."
"Death Magnetic" marks the end of the band's contract with Warner Bros., and Hammett says he can't speculate on what will come next.
"The record industry might not even exist in a couple of years," he says. "Bands might not even be putting CDs out anymore. They might be releasing video games with their music as a soundtrack. Who knows?"
Metallica is already taking a step in that direction with the pending release of "Guitar Hero: Metallica" in early 2009. The band has been working closely with the game designers at Activision for the past nine months to get everything just right.
"Obviously, I'm mostly doing it so my kids think that I'm still cool," the 44-year-old Ulrich says with a laugh. "It's not really about the gamers; it's about my two oldest kids."
Hammett's children are still way too young to be impressed; they're still working on sleeping through the night, which he admits puts a crimp in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
"When we get off stage, it's just like collapse," Hammett says. "I don't have enough time to even have a cocktail, I'm so tired, and that's so different from the way it was. But you know what? I'm glad to be here."

Humanitarian and International Aid: A Core Israeli Value [Arabic] [French] [German] [Russian] [Spanish]
Israeli search and rescue delegation departs to Haiti
Expert sources
The Israel Project offers its condolences to the survivors of the earthquake in Haiti.
In the wake of the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, Israeli and Jewish humanitarian aid groups are providing critical relief for that nation. Meanwhile, four Israelis in Haiti are reported missing.[1]
Relief delegations from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Home Front Command, IDF Medical Corps and the Israeli Foreign Ministry have left for the ravaged island nation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed officials from the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry, and Public Security Ministry to quickly formulate actions plans to assist Haiti.[2]
Other Israeli humanitarian relief organizations sending aid include IsraAID (the Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid), which is planning to send a 12-person team with expertise in recovery, medical assistance and structural engineering.[3]
Said Jonathan Peled, spokesman for the Embassy of Israel in Washington, "Our heart goes out to the people of Haiti. Israel is sending a rescue team, a field hospital and humanitarian aid as part of the international effort to assist the recovery efforts. In the past, Israel has assisted recovery operations in Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, and India, among other countries devastated by earthquakes."
U.S.-based Jewish groups such as the American Jewish World Service, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and B'nai B'rith have set up relief funds and are collecting donations to be sent to Haiti.[4]
Following is background information on Israel's humanitarian efforts around the world.
Humanitarian and International Aid: A Core Israeli Value
Within a decade of Israel's founding, the government and its people had demonstrated a deep commitment to engage in humanitarian relief efforts and international development programs. In 1958, Israel adopted an official humanitarian aid agenda as a principal element of the country's international cooperation efforts.[5] Over the years, the country has extended international humanitarian aid assistance to more than 140 countries, even to those who do not maintain – and even refuse – diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.[6]
Israel's Darfur Refugees
Israel has granted asylum to hundreds of refugees from
Sudan's Darfur region[7]. According to the UN, more than
400,000 people have been killed in the six-year-old Darfur
conflict, and more than two million more have been
displaced[8]. The conflict has been marked by widespread
atrocities such as mass rape, military attacks on civilians and
ethnic cleansing.[9]
In September 2007, the Israeli government granted asylum to
498 Darfur refugees.[10] The following month, the government
(Photo: Israeli soldier with Darfur refugees

gave 51 of them new homes at kibbutzes – collective living communities unique to Israel – where they now live and work.[11] On Oct. 17, 2007, then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced that 300 of the Darfur refugees were successfully settled in homes in the southern Negev region[12]. Israel's foreign ministry announced in September 2007 that it would donate $5 million to victims of genocide in Darfur -- $4 million via international aid organizations and $1 million through the purchase and donation of medicine and water desalination equipment[13].
There also has been significant grassroots, social activism by Israeli civil society organizations on behalf of Darfur refugees. The Committee for Advancement of Refugees from Darfur (CARD) coordinates and oversees all of Israel's media efforts and political advocacy aimed at bringing greater public awareness to the Sudanese refugee problem in Israel[14]. Similarly, the Hotline for Migrant Workers, a non-governmental organization, has undertaken legal action for the refugees. The Hotline's volunteers visit detention centers, take testimonies and provide clothes and phone cards[15]. Among other NGOs assisting Darfurian refugees are the World Union of Jewish Students Institute (WUJS) in Arad, the Jewish Agency for Israel[16] and a number of kibbutzes such as Kibbutz Eilot in southern Israel.[17]
Voice of America recently profiled a 25-year-old Israeli man, Yotam Sheffy, who has dedicated himself to helping provide Darfuri refugees in Israel access to food, medical care and schooling. Sheffy, whose grandparents escaped the Holocaust, said, "There's no difference. And if the doors weren't open there for my grandmother by simple village Christians, not me nor my father would be alive."[18]
Govt.-sponsored International Development Program Provides Wide Range of Services
The Center for International Cooperation, better known by the acronym MASHAV, is the Israel Foreign Ministry's international development program. MASHAV assists countries striving to alleviate global problems of hunger, disease and poverty by providing technical training and sharing technology to improve quality of life[19]. MASHAV's projects include: Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, Crisis Medicine Training, Community Development, Education, Empowerment of Women, Social Change and Humanitarian Aid [20]. One example of MASHAV's work is its African Market Garden project, which aims to enhance agricultural yields and reduce risk to single-household farm-plots in arid and semi-arid zones [21]. In MASHAV's Eye Camps program, Israeli eye doctors set up temporary clinics in developing countries for two-week periods to treat preventable blindness and ocular disease. The doctors treat hundreds of patients, perform operations and train local staff[22].
Disaster Relief: The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 and the Kashmir Earthquake of 2005
The Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 2004 was one of the worst natural disasters in history. Israel sent 60 tons of aid to Indonesia, which was well-received by a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, and no ties with Israel[23]. The Israeli government also sent a small number of Israel Defense Forces personnel with 82 tons of relief supplies, including medicine, water, food, blankets, tents, nylon sheeting and electric generators to Sri Lanka[24]. The Israeli charity organization 'Coah Latet Meir Panim' (The Power to Enlighten Faces) contributed 250,000 water-purifying tablets, 1,000 water containers, medical equipment and medication[25]. Magen David Adom (Red Star of David) – Israel's division of the International Red Cross – in cooperation with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent (used in place of the Red Cross in many Islamic countries)[26] , dispatched additional urgent medical supplies to hospitals in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, including more than 4,000 vials of critically needed serum albumin valued at more than $100,000[27].
Israeli organizations were also involved in providing aid to Pakistan after the November 2005 earthquake in Kashmir. An Israeli NGO, Israeli Flying Aid (IFA), which provides disaster relief around the world, sent a mission to the region and provided thousands of families basic dry food products, blankets, coats, socks, personal clay heating kits and iron sheets to shield temporary shelters from heavy snow[28].
Fast Israeli Rescue and Search Team
The Fast Israeli Rescue and Search Team (FIRST) is an Israeli NGO that sends search and rescue teams to disaster zones around the world. An earthquake in Peru in August 2007 killed more than 520 people and left 90,000 people homeless. FIRST sent a delegation of three doctors and three nurses to assist those injured by the earthquake. FIRST has also provided relief assistance in Turkey, India, Mexico, El Salvador, Greece, Armenia and New Guinea, among others.[29]
IsraAID (The Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid)
IsraAID, founded in Israel in 2001, is an umbrella organization of more than 35 Israeli and Jewish non-governmental organizations and other individuals active in development and relief work around the world and concerned about global issues. Its members include the American Jewish Committee (AJC), B'nai B'rith International, FIRST, the Jerusalem AIDS Project, United Jewish Communities (UJC), Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), Save a Child's Heart, the Israeli Friends of Tibet and Aid Without Borders (AWB).[30]
According to IsraAID, its members "believe in providing humanitarian aid worldwide to people in need, regardless of religion, race, gender, nationality, age and disabilities."[31]
IsraAID and its members have provided relief assistance to more than 20 countries including Rwanda, India, Mexico, Congo, Chad, Sudan (Darfur) and Malawi[32]. IsraAID partnered with organizations to bring relief to areas hit by the deadly 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia including Sri Lanka[33] and co-coordinated the first Israeli humanitarian mission on the Kenya-Somali border, during which the Israeli team provided aid to Somali refugees[34].
The organization, along with FIRST, sent a team of six medical personnel and airlifted almost two tons of medicine and medical equipment to Pisco, Peru, to aid the victims of an earthquake that struck the country on Aug. 15, 2007. The medical team opened several field clinics in areas affected by the earthquake and treated at least 400 patients[35].
Save a Child's Heart
Save a Child's Heart (SACH) is an organization that provides urgent pediatric heart surgery and follow-up care for children from developing countries[36]. SACH was founded in 1995 and has since repaired the hearts of more than 2,100 children from a wide variety of countries[37] including China, Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, Jordan, Russia, Sri Lanka and Ukraine as well as to children in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. In January 2009, SACH provided life-saving surgery to a Gazan child related to a top leader of the Hamas terrorist organization.[38] The procedures and other assistance are carried out at the Wolfson Medical Center in the Israeli town of Holon. One notable example of SACH's work is the treatment it has provided to Iraqi children since the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. The organization has treated dozens of Iraqi children, including 6-year-old Iman (see picture) in January 2007[39].

Jesus said, "If you do it unto the least of these, you are doing it unto me." The Haitians need food, medicine, water, and blankets urgently.

In your torrential Tuesday media column: No rock-breaking for Current reporters, a new job for Jesse Oxfeld, more Observer layoff victims, ad spending plunges (more), and one more unnecessary Obama book TK:
Very faint bright side for Current reporters Euna Lee and Laura Ling, recently sentenced to 12 years in a North Korean labor camp: experts doubt they will actually have to do "hard labor." Uh, that's kind of good, I guess! "I think they will be kept in special facilities which would be quite comfortable for a North Korean farmer - but which may not be very comfortable for a suburban American," says one. Uh, slightly better than terrible! Rush to the rescue, Al Gore.
Former Gawker editor Jesse Oxfeld, who got laid off from New York back in December, has a new gig: executive editor of Tablet Magazine, a "new online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture." May it find success with Jews and heathens alike!
We heard about two additional victims of the New York Observer layoffs: Jesse Wegman, managing editor; and Nati Deleon, receptionist. Also, Interview magazine editorial director Glenn O'Brien, has left the company. We hear there may be more restructuring to come at Brant Publications.
US advertising spending was down 12% in the first quarter, according to a new Nielsen report. "The situation remained grim for national newspapers, where spending was down almost 28 percent. National magazines slumped about 21 percent, while business-to-business and trade publications witnessed a nearly 30 percent decline." But fast food ad spending is up! America is fat and broke as usual.
Stolid NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd is going to write a book about "the first few years of the Obama presidency." Boy does that sound boring.

Security heightened for new facial recognition system in Ohio
Database will need strong passwords to keep hackers out
Published 10:03 PM EDT Sep 09, 2013
Ohio is beefing up security for the state's new controversial facial recognition system.
The system launched quietly in June. It matches surveillance images to driver's license photos.
The Attorney General's Office has announced the database will now require stronger passwords to keep hackers from accessing the information.
A newly created advisory group will discuss what else the state can do to protect people's privacy on Tuesday.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Robert Harrison is only a sophomore at Grand Junction High, but his successful journey to install an A.E.D. in GJHS will help to save people of all ages.
Harrison is the founder of From The Heart, For the Heart, an organization dedicated to ensuring the safety of students, athletes, fans, and staff members at all Grand Valley schools.
The sophomore got the idea to furnish all District 51 schools with an automated external defibrillator after hearing a story of another high school student dying from cardiac arrest following his school's basketball game. "I want to ensure the safety of my teammates and the athletes of visiting teams," said Harrison.
According to Harrison, it cost about $1,500 to purchase the defibrillator and pay for the training of 20 faculty members to utilize the equipment. From The Heart For The Heart acquires its funds from donations by private parties and local businesses, while also selling bracelets with company's name.

Have you heard about the Obama divorce story? Today is a much better day for Edward Klein than for Barack and Michelle Obama, as his book detailing the time their marriage almost bit the dust is trending on the web. Yes, in The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, Klein alleges the President and First Lady had a rough patch.
Gasp! Scandalous, right? Or not so much.
The Inquisitor reports on Klein's book:
The Obama divorce story is just one of a few questionable claims made in the book by former New York Times Magazine editor Edward Klein, who also alleged that Michelle Obama is cripplingly jealous of other women, that she feuds with media queen Oprah, and that President Obama and his entourage have "gone to elaborate lengths to hide his dark side."
At the heart of the Obama divorce story is gossip that claims the First Marriage nearly ended in 2000. At that time Michelle Obama allegedly considered leaving Barack.
An Obama relationship timeline:
- Summer of 1989: Michelle Robinson meets Barack Obama at their law firm, Sidley Austin, when she is assigned to mentor him as a summer associate. Their relationship started with a business lunch and then a community organization meeting where he first impressed her. The couple's first date was to the Spike Lee movie Do the Right Thing.
- October 1992: They marry.
- July 1998: Malia Ann Obama is born.
- — 2000: Alleged relationship issues occurred.
- June 2001: Natasha Obama (known as Sasha) is born.
Sounds about right, eh?
Eight years into a marriage with one toddler under foot and a second baby on the way (not to mention a budding political career) sounds like stress central! My only question is…why is the Obama divorce story even news?
I detest the idea that famous people, no matter if they're Hollywood celebrities or politicians, are supposed to be infallible. I actually rather enjoy the idea that our leaders are human too, prone to relationship highs and lows — and not only that, but if the Obama divorce drama is true, we know now the couple worked through their hard time. Kudos!
Just recently I read an interview with a celebrity offspring (she is famous as well as both of her parents) in which an actress shared she once asked her mom and dad how their marriage has lasted so long. For the life of me I can't remember who it was, and Google has failed me this morning, but I can tell you the response from memory: "We never both wanted to get divorced at the same time."
Hilarious! In an 'it's funny because it's true' kind of way. (UPDATE: It was Gwyneth Paltrow. Thanks to Erin for helping me out by leaving a comment!)
Considering all the drama surrounding President Obama at any given time, this divorce story is almost laughable in insignificance. Barack and Michelle Obama are, at the end of the day, apparently just as human as the rest of us.
What is your reaction to the Obama divorce story?

Some guys have all the luck.
Two men are facing federal cocaine smuggling charges on allegations that they drove into a police dog training exercise, then tried to run from police.
As evening set in Thursday, at about 8:30 p.m., Fife police detectives spotted Francisco Urrea-Mendoza drop several duffels into a Ford Explorer occupied by Jesus Montes-Medina, according to court documents.
In charging papers filed with U.S. District Court, a Fife officer assigned to a Drug Enforcement Administration task force said the two men sped away after detectives approached the parked Explorer. A reckless pursuit ensued, the officer reported.
"Jesus Montes-Medina ran red lights, made illegal U-turns and drove in a reckless manner in an attempt to flee from the detectives," the Fife task force officer told the court. "Jesus Montes-Medina (the driver) refused to stop the vehicle and continued to speed through red lights, forcing other vehicles off the road."
The pair arrived at Dacca Park. The visit did not go well for them.
"Apparently unaware that numerous local officers were in the park conducting tracking training with their canines and listening to the pursuit on their radios," the Fife officer reported, "Jesus Montes-Medina and Francisco Urrea-Mendoza jumped out of the Ford Explorer and attempted to flee, but were quickly captured and arrested."
A subsequent search of the SUV revealed nearly 95 pounds of cocaine broken into kilogram-size packages. Both men remain in federal custody.

Uterine Fibroids and Weight Gain
Uterine Fibroids Symptoms: Weight Gain
Uterine Fibroids are very prevalent in women with as many as 75% having them at some stage in their lives, often undiagnosed and unknown. Among the different symptoms of uterine fibroids is unexplained weight gain.
Since fibroids can grow from the size of an orange to the size of a watermelon, it is not uncommon for a woman with large fibroids to experience pain and weight gain. Diagnosis is initially via a bi-manual pelvic exam where a suspicious mass may be detected. The patient will then be sent for further tests such as ultrasounds and possibly MRI scans for a conclusive diagnosis.
Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids and Fibroids Weight Gain
When uterine fibroids grow to the point where it causes a woman to gain weight, the fibroids are often treated. There are many uterine fibroids treatment options available today.
Serious cases of uterine fibroids may be treated with non-invasive procedures using laser or MR guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS). In extreme cases, and most often in women approaching menopause, a hysterectomy can be performed. It should be mentioned that menopause often causes a regression in symptoms and a hysterectomy should only be performed as a last resort.
If the fibroids cause no side effects, often doctors will recommend watching the fibroid and embark on a planned course of oral treatment in younger women who still wish to bare children. When the condition becomes too advanced for herbal treatments or oral treatments to effectively control the size and weight of the fibroid, then surgical options may be considered.
Sometimes very large fibroids can outgrow their blood supply and may degenerate and die off. This leads to weight loss and a reduction in symptoms.
Women who have no other symptoms other than unexplained weight gain may not have uterine fibroids, however it is important to go to your doctor and undergo a pelvic exam to rule out the possibility.

Location: Biological Control of Pests Research Unit
2013 Annual Report
Objective 2: Develop improved formulations and new products for more effectively controlling floodwater mosquitoes using biological control agents and natural products. Sub-objective 2A: Determine key physiological processes in the embryonating and embryonated eggs that may suggest new ovicidal targets or markers. Sub-objective 2B: Discover biopesticides with ovicidal activity. Sub-objective 2C: Develop effective formulations of selected biopesticides/natural products with demonstrated ovicidal effects to enhance penetration and lethality.
Chemical control using synthetic insecticides are commonly used in controlling imported fire ants, including red imported fire ant and black imported fire ants. Knowledge on toxic tolerance of fire ants is important in developing effective chemical control products and methods. Progress has been made in understanding the toxic tolerance of the imported fire ants to synthetic insecticides and defensive compounds from other ants. Red imported fire ants have been found to be significantly more tolerant to insecticides and ant defensive compounds than the black imported fire ants. The mechanism of toxic tolerance in fire ants was also investigated. It was found that esterase activities in red imported fire ants were more than three times higher than those in the black imported fire ants. 2-tridecanone, an ant defensive chemical from tawny crazy ants, showed significantly greater inhibition to esterases in the black imported fire ants than those in red imported fire ants. In the current practice, chemical control technology in fire ant management is not species-specific. In other words, the same dose of active ingredient is usually recommended for both red imported fire ants and black imported fire ants. The differentiation of toxic tolerance should justify a different application dose of insecticides for these two ant species or at least warrant further investigation on this topic. Progress has also been made in the research on biological control of imported fire ants using pathogenic microorganisms. A standard methodology has been developed to evaluate entomopathogenic fungi and natural products under laboratory conditions.
