Skip to comments.Its time to reassess Israels strategic assumptions
Posted on 11/05/2013 4:56:59 AM PST by SJackson
All of Obamas second term foreign policy goals are harmful to Israel. Everything that is good for Obama is necessarily bad for Israel.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu apparently believes the greatest threat the country now faces is an escalated European trade war. Hes wrong. The greatest threat we are now facing is a national leadership that cannot get its arms around changing strategic realities.
Over the weekend, Yediot Aharonot reported that during Secretary of State John Kerrys seven-hour meeting in Rome last week with Netanyahu, Kerry warned that the price for walking away from the talks with the PLO will be European economic strangulation of Israel.
According to the newspaper, [T]he secretary of state told the prime minister that he heard from his European friends... that if the negotiations fail, Israel can forget about participating in the European research and development program Horizon 2020. And that will only be the beginning.
More and far weightier actions to boycott Israel will follow. They are already being prepared. This will cause incalculable damage to the Israeli economy.
On Sunday, outgoing National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror warned the cabinet that Israels diplomatic standing and ability to avert a European economic war is dependent on continuing the negotiations with the PLO.
In his words, It is absolutely clear that our ability to handle international pressure is dependent on making advances in the negotiations. If the negotiations fall apart, it will give justification to all the forces that want to boycott us to do so.
In other words, the viability of our economy is dependent on the PLOs willingness to sit at a table with us.
Actually, according to Amidror, the PLOs sufferance of our leaders is only half the story. The other half is President Barack Obama. As he sees it, Israels international position is directly related to Obamas position.
Everyone hoping for Obama to be weakened needs to [understand that]...
Israel will also be weakened. There is a connection between these things.
Apparently based on fear of angering Europe or weakening Obama, Netanyahu has reportedly agreed that early next year the Obama administration will put forward a bridging proposal in the talks. The proposal will have two parts. First, it will contain the details of a new interim arrangement. Second, it will contain the details of a final settlement.
From Obamas prior statements and consistent policies that castigate the Jewish presence in Judea, Samaria and united Jerusalem as illegitimate, it is fairly clear that Obama and Kerry expect Israel to relinquish its legal claims to Judea, Samaria and united Jerusalem in the framework of a final peace.
From a legal and diplomatic perspective, such a move by Israel would be the most disastrous it has ever made. It would empty out our sovereign rights in general. And it would imperil our military viability.
As to the interim deal, from American and European projects on the ground today in Judea and Samaria it is apparent that the plan will require Israel to cede to the PLO its control of planning and zoning in Area C.
Such a move will enable the Palestinians, Europeans and Americans to strangle the Israeli communities in the region and render it practically impossible for the IDF to operate in Judea and Samaria without PLO permission.
THE PROBLEM with the governments behavior is not simply that it is maintaining allegiance to a policy paradigm that works to our extreme strategic disadvantage.
Thats old news.
The problem is that we are maintaining allegiance to a policy paradigm that is based on inaccurate strategic assumptions.
Amidror spelled them out.
Israel is operating under the assumption that there is a cause and effect relationship between our actions and Europes. To wit, if we ditch the phony peace talks, they will destroy our economy.
But there is no cause and effect relationship between Israeli actions and European actions. Europe made hostility toward Israel the centerpiece of its unified foreign policy without connection to Israeli actions. So undertaking strategically damaging talks with the Palestinians to appease Brussels is a fools errand.
Then there is Amidrors assertion that Israel has an interest in strengthening Obama, because if he is weakened, we are weakened.
Certainly such an argument could have been made with regard to Obamas predecessors in office. But can it be made today? Last week The New York Times revealed Obamas foreign policy goals for his second term. They are: negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran, brokering peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians and mitigating the strife in Syria.
Will the achievement of these goals that is, the success of Obamas second term foreign policy be helpful to Israel? Consider Syria. Obama negotiated a deal with Russia regarding Syrias chemical weapons that leaves Irans Syrian proxy Bashar Assad in power, and according to chemical weapons inspectors, likely in possession of parts of his chemical arsenal.
Moreover, the Obama administrations repeated exposure of Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Syria has harmed Israels national security. The administrations leaks have increased the prospects of war between Israel and Syria.
So a key part of Obamas Syria policy involves exacting a huge, unexpected cost for every strike Israel has undertaken to prevent Hezbollah from acquiring weapons systems that will imperil Israel.
Then too, Monday Kuwaits al Anbaa newspaper reported that the State Department is carrying out talks with Hezbollah in Lebanon. According to Lebanese sources quoted in the article, US Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale has told Lebanese leaders that a cabinet cannot be formed without Hezbollah participation.
Israel is a victim, not a partner in the USs Syria policy. Israel is weakened by Obamas success.
As for Iran, it is now inarguable that the USs primary objective is not to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is to prevent Israel from attacking Irans nuclear installations. Here too, success for Obama requires Israel to be imperiled.
Finally, our experience has shown us that peace is not a possible outcome of Obamas pro-Palestinian policy. The only beneficiaries of administrations use of European economic blackmail to force Israel to make strategically suicidal concessions to the PLO are the PLO and Hamas, and the anti-Semitic forces in Europe.
All of these parties reject Israels right to exist. Weakening Israel in the manner Obama has laid out will increase their appetite for aggression.
SO HERE we are, three for three. All of Obamas second term foreign policy goals are harmful to Israel. Everything that is good for Obama is necessarily bad for Israel.
It is easy to understand why our leaders insist on holding on to strategic assumptions that are no longer valid. The region is in a state of flux. In stormy seas, our natural inclination is to go back to what has always worked. Since 1968, the conviction that a strong Israel is consonant with US global interests has guided US policy in the Middle East. Its hard to accept that this is no longer the case.
But we have to accept it. By clinging to our now outdated strategic assumptions, not only are we engaging in dangerous behavior. We are blinding ourselves to new strategic opportunities presented by the chaos in neighboring countries.
True, the new opportunities cannot replace our lost alliance with the US or Europe as a trading partner. But they will get us through the storm in one piece.
It has been posted on this site according to the poster that the head of the Pro-Israel AIPAC lobbying group in the United States was a "bundler" of financial contributions for Obama.
After all the smoke and mirrors is Netanyahu, said to be a great tough Israeli leader, really a pussycat getting ready to cave into the PLO?????
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
I know I will be flamed but with the way the Jewish people in America support the democrat fascists, I have given up on supporting them in any manner until they come to their senses.
Here's some strong advice for Israel:
As long as the muzzie usurper is in office DO NOT COUNT ON THE USA!
I've never heard that. He might be thinking of Alan Solow who was chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations for a term and a Chicago Obama supporter since his first run in the early 90s
The more religiously serious ones DON'T support Democrats. It's the self indulgent secular ones that don't even try to get something serious and constant going with God that are the trouble here.
As though any Jew gives a damn what you think. I certainly don't, though you help me understand the stereotype of right wing bigots, which carries significant political cost.
The Jews supported Obama.
Obama is a lethal threat to Israel,
Hence, if we use this syllogism, The [American] Jews are a lethal threat to Israel.
When there was talk of bombing Syria we saw Obama, AIPAC and the Netanyahu government through Israel's ambassador in Washington all appear to be on the same track.
I hope there is not such agreement regarding territorial concessions in Judaea and Samaria coming out of these talks with the Palestinians.
The problem with Israel is you cannot replace the original inhabitants of Palestine with European WW2 Holocaust refugees and get away with it. The Bible is not a real estate guide for claiming lands. At least the Americans outnumbered the Indians and won, the Arabs outnumber the Jews 150 to 1. The Arab passion to drive the Jews into the sea has not waned since 1948. Stretegically Israel is screwed by geography, demographics and now the US realize the high price in treasure and blood for entangling in the Middle East is now wavering in its support for Israel. If the US wants to truly help the Jews, set aside a piece of land in US for a Jewish homeland.
Those sanctions against Israel will be put in place no matter what happens with the PLO. I hope Israel is getting prepared for the day that the USA is a formal enemy. It will probably happen before the end of the kenyan's current term of office. The kenyan dreams of Islamizing the ENTIRE Middle East and he hopes to put the US on an irrevocable path to the same end. That will make for him his place in History. His spokesman has already made the declaration that the USA is an Islamic country. That is not official, I suppose, but it is a big bright red trial balloon.
I certainly hope not but he did just that in his first term of office.
In the aggregate that is surely right. Fortunately serious Jews, believing Jews seem, in the main, to be some of our more sensible citizens.
King James Version:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
That quote from Holy Scripture is God's unbreakable promise given to Abraham and his progeny 4000 years ago.
The Israelis are God's chosen people, the people through whom He sent His Son Jesus to pay the penalty for mankind's sins. If a man or a nation persecutes Israel or the Israeli people that man or nation comes under God's curse, look up a few photos of post WWII German cities if you doubt it. Those B-17 and B-24 bombers were God's instruments of destruction of a nation that persecuted His chosen people, and our own nation will not avoid a similar fate, or worse, if we continue the current turning against Israel by electing God's, and therefore Israel's, enemies to rule over us.
"Observant", Torah knowledge Jews are conservatives. The vast majority are not so they tend to lean towards Social Justice BS and Liberal causes. They are blinded by the word..."CHANGE" and then they wonder what went wrong? Deer in the headlights...
Israel is the one place in the world where the Jews have an ancestral claim. It is also the place where Hashem said He would restore the people to their land after two exiles. The world hates Israel and wants to see it destroyed because it is proof that only two religions in the world could possibly be correct: Traditional Judaism and/or the sects of Christianity that admit that God has never annulled His covenants with the Jews.
Israel isn't going anywhere. She may be battered and bruised, but she will stand, and those who stand with her and her children will be blessed while those who oppose her and her children will be judged--even when all the nations of the world rise up to attempt to destroy her.
First of all, US setting land aside so the Jews can have a homeland does not mean the Jews will be part of the US. I am advocating an independent Jewish nation formed from some US lands. It will be alot more peaceful then trying to re establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. You are right God will bless those who help the Jews and punish those who are against them. So putting Jews in a geographical kill zone that can ignite a WW3 is helping them??!!!!
It's a kill-zone, all right, but one for the nations who hate Israel, according to Joel, Zechariah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.
Besides, as Efraim Inbar writes, Time Favors Israel, even in a secular analysis. Israel can and will survive and prosper in the long run.
Setting aside a new nation for the Jews in America is a rediculous solution: Do you really think Washington would let "New Israel" be completely self-governing and independent? They won't even do that for the South, or the Native American reservation/"nations." Even if you could somehow get agreement on that, it would be no different than the numerous other times Jews have been given "reservations" in various countries--you're asking Israel to give up the right to be free and sovereign in return for a succor which would, based on 2000 years of experimentation, eventually be violated.
Besides, if you hadn't noticed, we're succumbing to tyrants ourselves, so how could we be in the least bit serious in the offer to let others live free?
American Indians have a Homeland called Reservations. It is not an independent nation like Israel, but autonomous. They are doing pretty good now with royalties and tax free items. Israel located in US will do fine. No one will surround her and threaten to nuke her.
On the other hand, how is Israel doing strategicly in the Middle East with a UN sponsored homeland since 1948?
Israel is building nukes because she is outnumbered by Arabs in the Middle East at a ratio of 50 to 1. It is used as a doomsday weapon if her defenses are breached. If a independent Jewish state was formed by the US on former US territory. US does not intend to invade her and kill all the Jews in it. The alternative Jewish state will not need a large military nor nuclear weapons. She would be surrounded by American states on very friendly terms. Right now she does not have such luxury. Furthermore, it removes our conflicting desires in the ME (friendship with oil producing Arab regimes).
"The more religiously serious ones DONT support Democrats. Its the self indulgent secular ones that dont even try to get something serious and constant going with God that are the trouble here."
Thanks HiTech that I didn't know, gives me a little better understanding of the issue.
So does biting the hand of your friends, particularly when said friends innocently observe something that walks, talks, and swims like a duck.
And the secular wing of American Jewry is distressingly large. To fall from faith is nothing new for them. The Old Testament story makes that clear. But even a strong Old Testament faith will illuminate a Jewish person enough to make it clear that the Democrats are bad news. They are also demographically gaining on the secular ones, who tend not to be pro-life. Spoiled Judaism, like spoiled Christianity, is double plus bad news, because it represents turning a whole suite of virtues over to Satan.
Another good point you make, the Jewish vote and donations to the fascist democrats is really off the charts, someone posted figures that indicated something in the area of 51% of the money the democrats rake in comes from Jewish liberals.
Yes... the folks with the learning ethic, but they have turned it to learning demonic garbage. I mean I am pretty blunt about this.
And lest spoiled Christendom get away unscathed, let me point out that modern liberalism is pretty much a gospel sans God and Christ. It can't possibly work, it's asking Satan to do mighty works that only God is capable of, but the believers keep their twisted faith (which God put there for the purpose of believing in the real gospel) working overtime trying to believe in modern liberalism anyhow.
Obama has proven himself to be the ultimate political nightmare,on every front, in every realm imaginable, be it economic, political, geopolitical, philosophical, ideological, sociological and in particularly in his case, zoological.
Oh, my. Ecoomic sanctions. Sort of like another White Paper, only with money instead of people. I'm boycotting EU products, anyway. As for thes threats, in our case they always tend to backfire and then blow up in the face of the threatener(see the past four millenia for details).
Our real new strategic priority is building EMA, the Eastern Minorities Alliance of Christian countries and enclaves, India, Kurds and Allawites. The sooner the ruling class becomes hip to that, the better off we'll all be.
One of the original plans was take a part of Germany after WW2 and make it a Jewish nation/homeland. Instead the UN allowed the massive refugees into Palestine partition themselves into an independent nation with UN support. It is built on faulty strategic thinking. Problem is the Arabs did not go along with the vote despite what the world decided. The Arabs have not given up this pursuit to drive the Jews into the sea. Each war the Arabs lose, the tech gap between Arab and Israeli forces closes. Arabs are no longer poor camel jockies. They have petro money and influence in the world. Worst they found a religious motivation to adopt kamikaze like tactics against the Israelis that nullifies the tech advantages and brings the battle close range and war of attrition (something the smaller population of Israel cannot afford). Iran is building nukes and no one (even the US under GWB) could find a solution to stop them short of a war.
Isreal has nukes. Usage of nukes as a deterrent works to a point for a small nation like Israel. The Arabs are crazy enough to do it. Reliance on nukes and if forced to use it will spell only total destruction of 6 million Jews in Israel in a nuclear exchange. Israel cannot force Arab countries not to build their own nukes not unless they plan to bomb everyone that tries. So the plan to save the Jews from future holocausts by giving them their Biblical homeland (after being absent for 1700+ years) and disregarding the original Arabs that lived there is laying the seeds for conflict. At least the Americans outnumbered the Indians and won, the Jews are outnumbered 60 to 1, and the Arabs do have reasonable technological parity (but not unity). Numbers, geography, international politics, etc etc is turning against Israel. Bottom line is this is not going to end well for the Jews.
Since the US is the only nation that gives a damn about the Jews and Israel, it might be more humane to get them out of the strategic kill zone of the Middle East and use a small part of the US and give it to them as a homeland. No nation today will do that. Otherwise we may see another Jewish Holocaust of 6 million again (unless the Book of Revelation comes true and a Messiah saves them in their darkest hour).
We are not monolithic. Those Jews who would rather forget that they are Jewish, or better yet, redefine Jewishness as being an incurable libtard, are the ones concerning whom you speak.
There is a second group of American Jews, however, either proudly religious and nationalistic, or simply nationalistic, who are very much to their senses.
The religious ones will inherit the earth, because they have more kids, and the nationalistic but secular ones will ally themselves with them, and get invited over for Shabbos meals, to discuss nationalism and religion. So don't give up. Our very best allies among the nations are freepers and religious Christians, and also Hindus.

Ranbir Kapoor To Romance Katrina Kaif In Jagga Jasoos
There is good news for all Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's fans. Bollywood's most loved couple might share the screen again in Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos. If everything goes according to plans then this would be Ranbir Kapoor's third film with Katrina Kaif after Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in 2009 and Raajneeti in 2010.
Katrina Kaif missed many opportunities to work with rumoured beau Ranbir Kapoor in the past. Rumour has it that Katrina Kaif was the first choice for Ayan Mukherjee's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. She was also considered for Imtiaz Ali's next with Ranbir but the actress lost both the projects to Deepika Padukone.
Talking about Jagga Jasoos, a source told a leading daily, "Anurag has met Katrina regarding the project and the script is currently with the actress. He is busy putting together other aspects of the film. The onscreen chemistry between Ranbir and Katrina was evident in both Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti. The talks are at an advanced stage and if all goes well, she will be cast opposite Ranbir in the film"
Jagga Jasoos's shooting will start in September next year. Franchise Jagga Jasoos will be co-produced by Picture Shuru, which is Ranbir Kapoor and Anurag Basu's new production company.

The Serie A side will visit on August 10, a week before the Potters open their Premier League campaign against Liverpool at Anfield.
It is the first time for four years Stoke have staged a high-profile home pre-season game.
"We were approached by a number of European clubs about the possibility of playing at the Britannia Stadium once we made it clear we would be staging a pre-season game at home," chief executive Tony Scholes told the official club website.
"Mark Hughes felt that Genoa would provide the right test at this stage of our build-up."
Stoke have also confirmed a friendly against Wrexham, Hughes' home town club, at the Racecourse Ground on August 4, three days after they return from their tour of the United States.

Wool Capital Tri LbNA # 24583
|Placed Date

***Reported Missing 5/13/2008***
For the past 19 years, the city of San Angelo and the Middle Concho River Park has hosted the Wool Capital Triathon during the third weekend in August. M-Dot participated in this Olympic Distance event in which triathletes swim 1500 meters, bike 40K and then run a 10K up what is known as "the dirt road from hell". M-Dot came in 16th overall and second in his age group!!
While we were out there, I planted this letterbox, the first letterbox in Tom Green County, which just so happens to be the county that my mom's family is from!
Directions to Middle Concho Park:
From Loop 306 in San Angelo, take Knickerbocker Road (I think it may be SW) heading towards Lake Nasworthy. When you turn onto Knickerbocker, there will be an Exxon station, a La Quinta and a Shell station on your right. About four miles down, turn right onto Red Bluff. As you turn onto Red Bluff, Packsaddle Barbecue will be on your left. Travel down this road several miles until you get to Middle Concho Park. The letterbox is outside of the park boundaries, so you won't need to pay the park entry fee. You may need to use a little stealth action if there are others around!
As you get close to the park entrance booth, you should see a big oval sign in a brick planter on your right that says Welcome to Middle Concho Park. Facing the sign, walk towards your right side to the back of the sign. When you are behind the sign, look down for some pipes that run under the planter. The camo microbox is under the left side of the pipes covered with grass and mesquite beans. As always, recover well!
Please let me know if you find Wool Capital Tri!

This is nice, not great. It also separates quickly.
This is the best drink I can ever remember having. I absolutely LOVE it. The flavors are so light and refreshing and not to sweet and the color so lovely. DH actually made it for me and I had him only make half a recipe as I usually only drink one and he doesn't like sweet drinks - well, that was a mistake as I wanted MORE, so he had to go back and make the rest of it. He even enjoyed it. Now we are already talking about when we can make it again. He made it exactly as directed other than cutting in half and wouldn't change a thing.
This is great! I did use fat free milk as I am watching my calories and it came out fine. The second batch I played with it some more by using butterscotch schnapps instead of the Amaretto, YUMMY. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent!! I followed the recipe it was great! I will be making this again...Soon! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bliss, I just made this recipe and it is so good, that I brought the pitcher to my computer table! I did put some splenda in it as the strawberies i got are so sour. I will make this for my domino group. I was going to tag this but my daughter kuntryqtpi got to it first. Be well Nanniejo

You might ask "What is Biomass?". It's the vegetable residue of agricultural operations such as growing crops, milling timber, farming cattle and clearing ground.
Residential, or premium grade wood pellets contain nothing else but wood. No glues are needed in the production of pellets.
When the pulped wood or sawdust is forced into the wood pellet die under pressure and heat, natural binding material already present, (lignin), allows the pellet to hold its shape. A premium grade pellet contains very little potential ash. 1%.
Standard, or commercial grade pellets contain more impurities, 3% potential ash. This is because paper, bark, and other flammable additives are included.
It's important to use the correct grade of pellet for your stove, fire or furnace. Too great a build up of ash can cause the fire to go out, or overload the ash can.
Alternative pellet stove fuels are possible (see link at bottom of page) if you would prefer not to be dependent on only wood pellets, or only corn. These fuels have a high ash content and are best burned in a multi fuel pellet stove.
To make pellets, the raw material must first be cleaned to remove impurities. The clean biomass is then ground in a hammer mill or chipped to a uniform size, which must be less than the thickness of the pellet that will be produced.
While the lignin content in wood is generally enough to bind pellets, other forms of biomass require special conditioning to strengthen them. Sometimes binders such as starch, sugars, paraffin oils, or lignin must be added to make the biomass malleable.
Some pellet stoves are also capable of burning corn either by itself or mixed with wood pellets. When buying corn for burning, it is important that it's not been treated in any way or the already high ash content will be increased and the emissions could be unpleasant.
What Are The Advantages of Pellet Stove Fuel?
Pellets are clean, easy to handle, and don't have bugs crawling out of them. Anyone who's burned logs will appreciate this. Usually packaged in 40lb. bags, they are easy to stack and don't take up much space. A ton of pellets will stack in a 4′ by 4′ space, four feet high. The stove hopper only needs loading daily. Even less often for furnaces.
The standardisation of pellet size and moisture content means that the burn can be efficiently regulated and the air input accurately controlled. Pellets have a usual moisture level of less than ten per cent. (Logs 20 – 60%).
This gives high heat output, clean burning and low emissions. The thermal value of wood pellets is 5Kwh per kilo, (or 8 – 9 thousand btu. per pound). Two kilos of pellet are equivalent to a litre of fuel oil or a cubic metre of natural gas.
Carbon Neutral Biomass Heating
Biomass is the term given to grown material as opposed to fossil fuel. The carbon absorbed in growth is balanced by carbon emitted on burning, which makes the use of wood pellets neutral. Wood pellet plant is often, but not always, powered by burning wood pellets.
This energy supply is sustainable because the raw materials are renewable.
Trees are not felled just to make pellets. The raw material is already a waste product from saw mills and other users of timber. Converting sawdust to pellets reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.
Another point is that pellets are usually locally made. It would not be economic to transport vast amounts of sawdust across the country, and then bring the pellets back, so it's the local economy that gains from this low carbon footprint industry.
Where Can I Buy Wood Pellets?
It's well worth checking where you can buy fuel in your area. First stop would be your local pellet stove dealer, feed store and grocery stores. If the local stove dealer can't source a supply, they won't last long. Another good reason to contact a local stove dealer is to find out if they stock parts, and for which makes and models so if you eventually buy online, you'll know which stoves will be supported.

Don't wait until it is "Winter" and "Cold" to maintain your heating source. If you have a stove that is older than 10years, consider having replacement parts on hand even if it is functioning well. During peak heating season when demand is high from suppliers and manufacturers for replacement stove parts it can be 2-6 weeks or longer depending on the part needed. Plan ahead and be prepared! Get ready for winter at the end of winter, don't wait until fall or later. WoodHeatStoves.com has over 50,000 replacement parts for most gas, pellet and wood stoves.

State auditors have accused the Orange County Department of Social Services of inadequately monitoring how well its contractors perform, and potentially paying them amounts they shouldn't have gotten if they didn't meet contract goals.
County officials vigorously contested the findings of the state Comptroller's Office, matching the seven-page audit with a seven-page response included in last week's report.
The sharpest dispute centered on the state's conclusion that contractors may have been "overpaid" by $562,684, which was the maximum amount the county could have withheld for poor performance out of $11.2 million in contracts the Comptroller's Office reviewed.
Aside from disputing the claims of spotty oversight, county officials pointed out that "unless one assumes that no performance measures were met, the $562,684 is an overstatement. Additionally, this figure assumes that all the contracts are paid out to the contract limits, and several are not."
Auditors examined the department's contract monitoring between Jan. 1, 2012, and Oct. 7, 2013. According to their report, all service providers in the review filed annual reports on their activities, but some neglected an additional requirement to furnish quarterly reports. Further, no documentation existed at times to show that the department's monitors held monthly meetings with providers, as required.
The county's response, signed by acting Social Services Commissioner Anne Caldwell, asserts that the department supervises the work of its contractors in ways other than those the auditors considered, and at multiple levels of staff and administration. It also notes that some records sought by the Comptroller's Office are periodically destroyed "due to a lack of storage space."

However that is not the case. What he was told during "recruitment" was mostly fabrication. As follows: With every lead you get you will be paid $8 per lead when in all actuality it is only $6 if you dont go thru thier system. He was also informed that these calls that he was making were for people who had inquired about the insurance now he is being told that its all cold calling.
Further more the management skills that he had come in contact with was beyond pitiful. What kind of manager (Sharon Troost)allows up to 6 hours or better go by before one acknowledging a phone call or email to resolve a problem. Then has to gaul to talk to you like you are moron.
After not being able to get intouch with his manager he tried to go to the main office. Big joke no one is ever thier. Surprise!

I've tried using this plugin and it seems very clear how to set it up, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I've run into multiple issues and at this point I don't think it's me. I'm using the free version of the plugin and maybe that's the problem. I've tried with the theme I plan to use for my site and I've tried with the default WordPress Twenty Thirteen and Twenty Fourteen themes. I've also tried disabling all my plugins and using the default theme. Still running into multiple issues.
So here are all my issues...
- I have gotten posts and pages created, but they are set to (no title) instead of a title that I set
- I have gotten posts and pages created but none of the content "tokens" are appearing
- I have gotten to the end of the set up process to receive a message that says there was an error and no posts were created
- I have imported the data and set the date and it says 0 rows were recorded
Those are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head. This seems like exactly what I'm looking for for my client, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I also haven't found any other plugins out there that have quite this much power and control (provided I can get it working). I would appreciate any help you can offer, I would really like to use this plugin.

racharsh, is the $229.63/treatment standard base rate enough for DVA and FMS to be OK with Medicare's decision? Will this rate move DVA and FMS to accelerate the home hemodialysis move of patients?
FMS and DVA were expecting $190 per treatment so ofcourse this is good. They were expecting all vendors to be forced to bundle from Jan 2011 , and then pickup more freestanding units at firesale prices. Under the bundling rule the units can either opt in for bundling or be gradually phased in till 2014. The bundled payment is good for home dialysis and the training is excluded from bundling. They will now be able to bill for training. At FMS they have been slow in converting patients to home dialysis. I think this will accelerate from Jan 2011. I do feel that peritoneal dialysis will get more converts than home hemo since with NXTM the patient has to dialyze 6 days a week. We will see some growth but also feel the big money has been made in NXTM and so I have cashed out.
Peritoneal sounds like a long shot to me. Permanent surgery and whether the patient is well enough to handle/recover from the surgery are problems for end stage kidney patients. Infection risk over time sounds bad too.Where did you understand six days?
This is a helpful primer article (for me anyway) on how dialysis is paid for. Start under the heading "Medicare" if you wish to get to the meat of the article faster. The article is from 2007, and reimbursement percentages may have changed some (or a lot).http://mydd.com/users/billp830/posts/how-is-dialysis-paid-for
I found this article from September 2009. It outlines the items covered by CMS for home dialysis, and has some inputs from NXTM's CEO Burbank. Looks like some things have changed with the drugs not being part of the bundled CMS payment per treatment.http://www.massdevice.com/news/new-cms-dialysis-reimbursement-rules-could-help-nxstage

The Fantasy Reporter
I know you all come here for your Cubs fix and I don't pretend to be some sort of fantasty baseball expert (that would be readers "The Joe" and "JD"), but my fantasy draft is Saturday and I feel like sharing. I much prefer a points league over the traditional 5x5 roto leagues, but mostly the same advice applies. If anything, the points league is a bettter reflection of the reality of baseball and our playing fantasy baseball gives us a better understanding of the sport itself. If you do play in a roto league, you need to be more worried about stolen bases than I am.
And just so you know that I'm not completely full of it, I have been playing since 1999 and besides one very unfortunate injury-riddled season, I usually finish "in the money" so to speak. I don't alway take the league, but I'm almost always in contention. Once again, not trying to pass myself off as some fantasy baseball expert, but you could do worse. If anything, I hope to convince you to acquire Troy Tulowitzki if you're in a keeper league. He's going to be a monster for the next six seasons.
So here's some general draft strategies and ideas on a handful of players. Those who play in a league with me are probably going to be wondering why there are so many players mentioned that are on my current team or have been recently or I've inquired about. Well, I liked them for a reason, so there you go.
Draft Strategy
I don't have any fancy system with some trademarked name that I follow or some strict regiment of who to draft in which slot. I do have some guidelines though.
1-5: Offense, Offense, Offense - no time for risk-taking and pitchers are inherently a risk.
6-10: Start looking for pitching and watch for the inevitable run on closers that is going to happen. There will still be some value offensive picks though on position players that people have forgotton about.
11-20: A lovely song and dance to fill out your roster with a mix of value picks and need.
21-25: High Risk, High Reward and Catchers...fill out the roster if needed, but I usually start looking for prospects or troubled assets and injury risks here.
- Other than a few select pitchers, I generally try to land what I
consider sure thing offensive players in the first 5 rounds. Those
few select pitchers this year are Tim Lincecum, Cole Hamels and Roy
Halladay. There's plenty of other good to great pitchers, but I'm
worried about Johan and Webb's arm issues, C.C's fatness and the lack
of run support that Jake Peavy will get this year. Everyone else you
can flip a coin if they'll be effective or healthy in my opinion, so
don't waste a top pick on them. There's a good chance you can find just as good a pitcher in round 10-20 as the top 5.
- Joe Mauer, Geovany Soto, Brian McCann and Russ Martin are the only catchers worth taking in the top 10 rounds. Don't talk yourself into anyone else. Victor Martinez and Jorge Posada are in the discussion, but you have to really worry about their injury risks. Otherwise, I'll pass until Round 20 or later (we have 25 rounds) and grab whatever is left and play the waiver wire over the year. The second tier of catchers are Ryan Doumit, Chris Iannetta and a Chris Snyder/Miguel Montero combo from the Dbacks. Everyone else is completely interchangeable over the year and you're probably better off just trying to play the hot-hand.
- I'm a big fan of good players that had a down year usually due to injury or unexplained phenomenon. Some examples from 2008 include Fausto Carmona, Justin Verlander, Troy Tulowitzki, Alex Rios, Alfonso Soriano, Howie Kendrick and Aaron Hill.
- I'm thoroughly intrigued by Adam Dunn this season. I think he feels he has something to prove and - as a bonus - qualifies at 1B and LF. He also had an extremely low BABIP last season.
- Never underestimate the Coors factor or the Ballpark factor for left-handed hitters in Texas. Matt Murton, Ryan Spilborghs, Carlos Gonzalez and Ian Stewart are worth watching in Colorado, just keep an eye out for who might be winning the job out of spring training. Everyone knows about Josh Hamilton by now, but Chris Davis and Jarrod Saltamacchia are good high upside guys..
- I constantly fight myself over closers. In our points league which has an innings limit, relievers and closers are quite valuable as they offer a much higher innings per points average than a starter. In a roto league, you'll get the benefit of more strikeouts per inning pitched. On the other hand, closers are always available during the year and you'll particularly want to pay attention to the Tigers, Mariners and Cardinals this season. So I'm never sure how early I should start picking closers, but I will say that if you don't get stuck with a complete dud, they're always tradeable during the season. Papelbon, Rivera and K-Rod are pretty much sure things this year and I'm quite high on Jonathon Broxton taking the role in Los Angeles.
- I'm pretty good at picking players a year too early from their breakout season. For example, keep an eye out for Alex Gordon and Kelly Johnson this season.
- An easy way to look for overrated versus underrated is their BABIP or batting average in balls in play. Couple it with line drive percentage and you have a good idea of players to watch out for, whether on the rebound or to slump. From Fangraphs, the top 10 highest BABIP last year, if they're in bold, they had a line drive percentage below 20% which means I'd avoid them unless everyone else in your league is reading the same thing. A BABIP over .330 is usually tough to sustain, anything over .360 is virtually impossible to sustain, unless you're Ichiro Suzuki.
- M. Bradley (.396)
- C. Jones (.388)
- M. Ramirez (.373)
- F. Lewis (.367)
- Matt Kemp (.363)
- M. Holliday (.361)
- N. Markakis (.351)
- B.J. Upton (.351)
- J. Mauer (.350)
- R. Ludwick (.349)
Now the flip-side, 10 lowest BABIP hitters:
- P. Konerko (.247)
- K. Millar (.249)
- M. Ellis (.249)
- N. Swisher (.251)
- J. Giambi (.257)
- A. Dunn (.262)
- M. Jacobs (.264)
- J. Kendall (.267)
- E. Encarnacion (.267)
- R. Hernandez (.269)
I wouldn't take a chance on all those guys, but Konerko, Dunn, Swisher, Giambi and Jacobs are certainly very interesting.
The BABIP numbers are even more reliable when it comes to pitchers. The top 10 unluckiest last year, where league average is about .290.
- K. Millwood(.366)
- I. Snell (.358)
- L. Hernandez (.345)
- N. Robertson (.343)
- A. Petitte (.339)
- M. Parra (.337)
- A.J. Burnett (.328)
- J. Vazquez (.328)
- Z. Duke (.327)
- J. Beckett (.327)
I'd still avoid Livan Hernandez and Kevin Millwod, but they should be slightly better for next year. Everyone else is probably being underrated in your drafts. And now the flipside, the 10 luckiest pitchers last year.
- D. Bush (.245)
- T. Wakefield (.247)
- A. Galarraga (.247)
- G. Smith (.258)
- S. Olsen (.266)
- D. Matsuzaka (.267)
- J. Guthrie (.267)
- J. Saunders (.267)
- G. Floyd (.267)
- C. Hamels (.270)
Now pitchers with knuckleballs and really good change-ups have been able to beat the league average BABIP consistently so I wouldn't worry much about Wakefield or Hamels. Smith and Saunders throw a healthy amount of change-ups, but I can't speak to their quality and their minor league numbers don't suggest they can maintain that level of luck.
I'll come back Wednesday with a more thorough positional breakdown.
Please take a moment today to vote on the best Cubs Season Ever.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
Hey Rob is it too late to join a fantasy baseball league? Are there beginner leagues? I got talked into fantasy football a couple years ago (even though I like baseball better) and won back to back! Now, I'm thinking I ought to be spending that time on my favorite sport. Just wonderin
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
Thanks Rob. Sounds fun. Troy Tulowitzki, you say?
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
Thanks for the Roto v Points soapbox. TCR2 (or the WTCR, if you will :)) is in discussions on what to use
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
i dont wanna call roto "training wheels" or etc...but roto is generally a great one for casual or mixed-skill fans.
even if you make the stats tracked complex pretty much everyone can "get" and properly weigh how player 1 vs. player 2 vs...player 10 might compare to each other on a linear value scale.
it involves treating a SB the same as a HR, but it also involves a whole lot less time for roster/player management.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
well most all of the "expert" leagues are roto based. NFBC, Tout Wars, Jail etc are all standard vanilla 5x5 roto. Points leagues are fine too, I don't see them much differently if you expand the categories between roto or points to 8x8 at least. I try to use rate stats as opposed to counting stats as often as possible in my roto leagues. H2H leagues are flukish but can be fun if you don't mind getting beat by teams with inferior rosters in a handful of weeks over the season.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
I've annoyed everyone in the Yahoo TCR league with my roto babble, so I'll post it here too. Because this is American, and it's a free country damnit!
Roto to me requires to be a more skillful manager. You have to weight your surplus and fill your shortages without giving too much of your excess away. In points-based leagues you just need points. It doesn't matter where or how. Also, HR's are inevitable worth more, despite actually being more common than SBs. That's like making RBI's worth more than triples. Or a W more than a complete game.
In roto all stats are created equal. You have to be aware of your teams skills and deficiencies and address them as so. Points to me is the "well, player A has more points than player B, I'll add him" (granted you have to take into account what they'll do in the future, but you get the point) you don't have to consider "well, I need to address this category. Is the marginal increase in category X worth losing some of my surplus in category Y". Roto requires you to be more aware of your team and the league as a whole, where in points you just need to amass points, it doesn't matter what anyone else si doing because you're just trying to get as many points as possible. Roto makes you compete against someone, not just numbers.
Points leagues are dumb.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
only problem i have with points leagues is how they break the points out and how much importance is placed on specific categories.
i gave up bitching about it long ago when i play points leagues...i just check out how the points are laid out and where the weaknesses/strengths are. bitching about it just ends up being arguments over +/- 5 to 20 points in a category vs. what you'd prefer to weigh the value of point category.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
I agree, no matter what with points some categories are favored. They'll never be a perfect point system..except in roto where all stats are equal. I think MLK would have preferred roto.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
God, defense in fantasy baseball. YUCK!
I heard the devil just started a fantasy baseball league...it's a points based league...with defensive categories...anyone else see Rob and Devil in the same room?....didn't think so...
I'm just using SB's as an example. If you weren't a racist you'd enjoy treating all categories equal in roto.
Points leagues are never fair. There is always some category/type of player that gets too much love in the points that shouldn't. There is never a perfect points system, but roto is the definition of perfect. So it's your call.
That being said it's not difficult to see which players are a little overvalued in whatever setup the points system has and get those guys.

Re: The Fantasy Reporter
I shall take your advice and pick up all of the guys you like, one round before you would have picked them. Unfortunately, I don't really understand all that stat stuff. Usually, I just pick the guys who I think are the prettiest...and also Chone Figgins. He's actually quite bugly.
Bud, I'd suggest going to Yahoo Sports. You can sign up for a league, and I imagine they're still available. Yahoo is probably the best.

Re: The Fantasy Reporter
I have a great deal of fondness for the guys who way overpay on the second tier 2B and SS in like the 6th-9th rounds while I load up on pitching. They're taking guys like Tulowitski and Stephen Drew while you COULD get a guy like Hardy or Orlando Cabrera 4 or 5 rounds later for close to the same production:
Drew: 291/333 44 2B 21HR 67RBI 41BB 109K
Hardy: 283/344 30 2B 24HR 74RBI 55B 98K
Cabrera: 281/334 332B 8HR 57 RBI 56BB 71K
You take Drew, I'll follow that with Volquez, Gallardo, or Cain and then still get Hardy 4 rounds later. I've won my keeper league full of those suckers 4 years in a row. I think it's great.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
We do our keepers weird. So yeah, probably 4th round or so if you're scoring at home.

this nederlands vs. PR game is goods...
bernie williams (yes, that one) just blew tieing the 1-0 game in the bottom 3rd getting thrown out at home.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
I am not a complete fan of our points league but i do like our keeper system. If a player has a down year/injured you got a chance to keep him at a very low draft round. For example Rafael Furcal is atleast a 6th round pick on draft day. In our league, Furcal is being kept on a 25th round pick. That is a hell of a bargain.
Re: The Fantasy Reporter
one of those announcers is hyping this nederlands 1-run-lead and their last win as the biggest thing in baseball since kirk gibson's gimpy ass limped a homer for the dodgers.

I was asking how well Scherzer holds on runners.
BTW, your used underwear remark sounds rather specific. Please don't project. Thanks.
nothing gets you going like someone talking about lester, eh?
i hope you're on his payroll or he sends you used underwear or whatever you're into.
btw, he holds runners like shit. he does things with runners i've never seen another pitcher do in my life...even going back before i was born as far as i can tell. would you like to discuss it? that sounds like it could be educational and fun. hit me up, bruh.
last year they won 97...and came in 3rd in the division. crazy game on a year-to-year basis.
this year it's likely no one else in the division will win 90, though it's technically possible at this point.
no matter what, this is a special team, though...very well rounded...and should be mostly intact next year with a bonus schwarber. chapman may not be around, but whatever...rondon and crew are capable even if not on chapman's level.
How well does he hold on runners?
It's August 26. Cubs with 14 game lead. And not for #1 draft pick.

Two nights in LA for the kids? Woooo
/Prove me wrong
When Scherzer is on his game, he might the the most dominant and intimidating pitcher. A couple of games he has pitched against the Cubs when he had his stuff, and his mound presence was just powerful.
So are lack of chances due to the great pitching?
TLS watch: 0-4 with Iowa last night. Saving his pinch hits for September.
Objectively true. Scherzer's FIP is almost a half point higher than his ERA, mostly I deduce because his BABIP is .249 so something ridiculous like that. It's not like the guy can't be scored on, but when I watch him, I sometimes feel that he's the most in control of the game moving around him.
Certainly might be the hottest pitcher right now, but he's behind a few pitchers by most objective full season standards.
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.

Tinchy Stryder ft. Jodie Connor - 'In My System'
There's a thing in music called a pedal point, which - put simply - is when a note drones on for a very long time, while the rest of the music changes around it. It's usually a bass note, allowing the chords above it to shift about, sometimes dissonant, sometimes resolved. Or to put it into visual terms, it's a bit like nailing a cloud to the sky on a windy day, it can still flex and wane, but only around that one fixed point.
In this song, breaking with centuries of musical tradition, Tinchy Stryder takes the role of a human pedal point. What he has to say is said simply, and repetitively, usually in sentences that end with a rhyme for the word "that", but it's all delivered over an astonishingly varied musical landscape. Everything changes around him - within certain parameters, it doesn't suddenly go METAL, for example - and yet he remains constant.
Same hoarse tone of voice, similar words, one thing to say, saying it over and over. And over. Again.
(Here's the video. Looks like it was a nice holiday.)
OK, so there's the keyboard refrain too, that's pretty constant. Although it does drop out from time to time. But everything else seems to be thrown in and yanked out, seemingly at random. And brilliantly, it sounds like the music has been put together so as to sound completely oblivious to whatever Tinchy chooses to add to it, especially towards the end when all hell is breaking loose and he's STILL droning on and on. Even Jodie Connor, his singing co-star, ends up delivering the chorus as if he isn't even in the room.
This is clearly amazing. Seeing as his is the name on the record, you would not expect him to be the least interesting thing happening on it. And it's not as if he isn't trying. It's more like the music is constantly trying to barge to the front of the stage and wave to its mum.
The best bit is the beginning of the second verse, when the bass starts throbbing like an enormous electric jelly on a vibrating football pitch. I'd be happy if that lasted for the entire three minutes, but before you can say "WHOAH!" we're off somewhere else, into a breakdown, then a build-up, then back to the chorus. Bewildering, but great.
Whoever programmed the drums clearly has a bit of an ADHD thing going on, because they change more than any other element: sometimes banging four-to-the-floor, sometimes building up to a crescendo, sometimes a lone bongo, sometimes a quantised version of a dropped drum machine in a box of marbles. It's showing off, pure and simple, and raises an interesting question: they're not letting REAL drummers program beats now, are they?
(Look, this is what REAL drummers are like, in their own heads if nothing else.)
So, a three-star Tinchy song, awarded a little extra because he's got a backing tape with diva tendencies. Don't you just LOVE pop music?

Love that Tinchy's trying to take his music in a different direction, I think it deserves four stars. I don't really find the repetitiveness annoying as it's almost Tinchy is amazed at how this belle inconnue has become so firmly lodged in his "system". I think it makes a nice change from the "my story" songs, where rappers blather on about how they've gotten to where they are now.
Also I don't recall hearing "Shorty" or "Shawty" in it, that's always a plus!

It seems that I have to create a Child Theme, and for that, I have to create a directory in the ftp where is installed wordpress (like in this useful video). Unfortunately, I don't have access to the ftp codes, I'm just workong into the wp dashboard. There is an optional method to create a Child Theme directly into the Dashboard/Appearance/Editor?
If not, someone knows a theme offering templates where I can have that posts elements hidden by default?

AbstractThe MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) are onboard the same satellite platform NASA TERRA. Both MODIS and ASTER offer routine retrieval of land surface temperatures (LSTs), and the ASTER- and MODIS-retrieved LST products have been used worldwide. Because a large fraction of the earth surface consists of mountainous areas, variations in elevation, terrain slope and aspect angles can cause biases in the retrieved LSTs. However, terrain-induced effects are generally neglected in most satellite retrievals, which may generate discrepancy between ASTER and MODIS LSTs. In this paper, we reported the terrain effects on the LST discrepancy with a case examination over a relief area at the Loess Plateau of China. Results showed that the terrain-induced effects were not major, but nevertheless important for the total LST discrepancy. A large local slope did not necessarily lead to a large LST discrepancy. The angle of emitted radiance was more important than the angle of local slope in generating the LST discrepancy. Specifically, the conventional terrain correction may be unsuitable for densely vegetated areas. The distribution of ASTER-to-MODIS emissivity suggested that the terrain correction was included in the generalized split window (GSW) based approach used to rectify MODIS LSTs. Further study should include the classification-induced uncertainty in emissivity for reliable use of satellite-retrieved LSTs over relief areas.
