by Mike Adams, Natural News:
Two of the most influential alternative media organizations on the 'net — InfoWars.com and NaturalNews.com — have blown the lid wide open on Big Pharma's massive bribery network. Through exclusive interviews with pharma insiders, InfoWars and NaturalNews have done what the mainstream media refuses to do: grant a platform to credible whistleblowers who are exposing the systematic, criminal Big Pharma bribing of doctors who willingly accept kickbacks to write prescriptions for high-profit pharmaceuticals.
These revelations are surfacing on the heels of the drug industry's largest settlement in history: GlaxoSmithKline's $3 billion fine and guilty plea to committing felony crimes (http://www.naturalnews.com/036416_GlaxoSmithKline_fraud_criminal_char…). NaturalNews editor Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) was able to connect with one of the key whistleblowers who initiated that nine-year DOJ investigation, and he went on the record with shocking allegations about off-label pharmaceutical marketing and the systematic bribery of doctors (http://www.naturalnews.com/036499_Glaxo_whistleblower_bribery.html).

What do the letters after a therapist's name mean?
What's in a name?
One of the difficulties of finding a therapist is trying to understand what all those letters mean at the end of the person's name, but knowing what those letters stand for can help you in this process. Those letters let you know what a person's credentials are and different letters mean different qualifications for what that therapist can treat. I'm going to go through the most common ones found in Massachusetts.
PhD and PsyD
A professional with a PhD in psychology is the only mental health professional that can actually call themselves a psychologist or a doctor. Psychologists are capable of seeing people with any insurances, including military and medicare. Psychologists are able to provide academic testing and assessments, and work as a college professor. A psychologist's training is highly focused on research and theory, and only touches upon providing actual counseling. Because "PhD" technically stands for "doctorate in philosophy", some Psychologists are choosing to get a PsyD, which stands for "doctorate in psychology". A PsyD has more training in applied psychology, such as counselling, but is still very research intensive.
MA usually stands for a masters degree in clinical psychology. The difference between a MA and PhD program is that a MA candidate is not required to perform their own research, which makes their program about two years shorter. Because psychology is a science, treatments and methodology is based on evidence and is not just making things up. Thus, a person with a MA has been taught evidence-based treatments and theory, as well as how to interpret research data. A MA also receives more training in applied psychology and counseling than a Psychologist does, with the emphasis on becoming a capable counselor. A candidate with a MA is eligible to go on to become an LMHC or LMFT with further training. I'll explain that further below. If you only have a MA you cannot be on insurance panels and so can only be in a cash-only private practice or work at a community clinic under the supervision of a licensed therapist.
People sometimes confuse MEd with MD (medical doctor). A person with a MEd has a masters of education with a concentration in counseling psychology. The primary difference between a MA and MEd is that a MA requires that the student write a thesis and a MEd does not. A MEd could be considered to more suited as a school adjustment counselor than a MA. A candidate with a MEd is eligible to go on to become an LMHC or LMFT with further training. I'll explain that further below. If you only have a MEd you cannot be on insurance panels and so can only be in a cash-only private practice or work at a community clinic under the supervision of a licensed therapist.
A person with a MSW has a masters in social work. A MSW places more influence on social justice and changing the circumstances around an individual's life (housing, government assistance, welfare, education, etc). MSW's are trained in counseling, but this is only one of many roles. A MSW program typically only takes two years and does not have an emphasis on research or theory. A professional with a MSW is eligible to go on to become an LCSW or LICSW with further training. I'll explain that further below. If you only have a MSW you cannot be on insurance panels and so can only be in a cash-only private practice or work at a community clinic under the supervision of a licensed social worker.
LMHC stands for a licensed mental health counselor. A person with a LMHC is a professional counselor with either a MA or MEd in counseling psychology and an additional two years of training. A LMHC is certified through the NBCC (National Board of Certified Counselors) which requires that LMHCs continue to receive further education and training in order to keep their license. A LMHC is board certified to treat children, adolescents, and adults suffering from adjustment issues, relationship conflicts, or mental illness. However, a LMHC is not certified to prescribe medication, perform academic testing, or provide substance abuse counseling without further training. The emphasis is on treating the individual, but LMHCs are also capable of providing marital and family therapy. I am a licensed mental health counselor, so naturally I feel that LMHCs are the best. We are also the most versatile and have the most training in counseling. LMHCs are eligible for every insurance panel except military and medicare. This is currently being challenged by the NBCC, so hopefully LMHC will be able to treat military families and people with medicare in the near future.
LMFT stands for a licensed marriage and family therapist. A person with a LMFT is a professional counselor with either a MA or MEd in counseling psychology and an additional two years of training. A LMFT is certified through the BLPCT (Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists) which requires that LMFTs continue to receive further education and training in order to keep their license. A LMFT is board certified to treat a variety of mental health concerns with the emphasis on family therapy, couples therapy and sex therapy. LMFT is the least common of counseling credentials and because of this, they often have difficulties getting onto the insurance panels and are unable to take military insurance or medicare.
A LICSW is a licensed independent clinical social worker. A LICSW is a social worker with a MSW and an additional three years of training. A LICSW can work either as a social worker or general therapist, but the emphasis is on community integration. A LICSW is more knowledgeable about social services and how to take advantage of the system in order to maximise quality of life. When working as a therapist, LICSWs often work at community clinics and hospitals. When in private practice, LICSWs tend to specialize in family and marital counseling. A LICSW is certified through the BRSW (Board of Registration of Social Works) which requires that LICSWs continue to receive further education and training in order to keep their licensure. The advantage of LICSWs is that they can be on any insurance panel in any state in the United States. If you are elderly or disabled, a LICSW may be your best option given their ability to treat individuals with medicare and their knowledge of government services.
Additional Certifications
There are many many many certifications a therapist may obtain in addition to being a LMHC, LMFT, or LICSW. Because these certifications often require expensive yearly membership fees, few professional counselors have them. The requirements to receive these certifications range from taking a single college-level course to doing intensive course work followed by a difficult exam. It is necessary to be a Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor in order to provide substance abuse counseling if substance abuse is the primary diagnosis. Many mental illnesses have co-occurring substance abuse issues and a general therapist is qualified to provide treatment so long as the substance abuse is not the main issue. It can be tricky to determine which issue is causing which (did the mental illness lead to substance abuse, or did the substance abuse lead to mental illness?) but therapists are trained to be able to determine the difference. The problem is that CATCs are not as well trained to treat mental illness, and general therapists are not as well trained to treat substance abuse issues. I provided some examples of certifications below, but this is only a small sampling.
CATC (Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor)
CCC (Certified Career Counselor)
CHC (Certified Housing Counselor)
CGC (Certified Grief Counselor)
CRC (Certified Retirement Counselor)
CDVC (Certified Domestic Violence Counselor)

A little secrecy can be a good thing in guarding one's love life, says Alicia Keys – but not such a good thing when it comes to dealing with depression.
Asked by Giant magazine about a rumored romance with her producer, the singer replies, "That's what they've been saying for a while now, but I don't usually address that question. Oprah told me never to tell – and I can't disobey Oprah!"
Keys, 26, has been getting that a lot lately. On Tuesday, Uma Thurman offered similar advice to Keys when a personal question slipped through at a press conference for the Nobel Peace Prize concert.
She will admit this much about her love life: "I definitely found my partner. I know he is somebody who will always be special to me and that we're always going to be in each other's lives."
Keys says she even tends to be secretive within a relationship – at least at first. "It's my nature to let them show me who they are first before I show them who I am," she says. "But once I'm in love with somebody, I'm the best girlfriend you could ever have."
There have been times, though, when her tendency to hold back was emotionally draining – when she battled depression.
"I was feeling so sad all the time, and I couldn't shake it," she says. "I started burying my feelings, and it got to a point where I couldn't even tell my family or my friends, 'I'm twisted,' or 'I'm exhausted,' or 'I'm so angry.' ... I became a master of putting up the wall so that I was unreadable."
Keys recently told Uptown Magazine that she "had to learn to let go" to overcome her depression.

Help choosing new board
Hey everyone I'm looking to buy a board and if I'm going to be spending a lot of money I want to be buy something that will fit my needs perfectly and last me a long time. I'm looking for any reccomendation on what type of board you think would fit me.
Here's about me:
-I'm 20, 6', 165 pounds
- I've been snowboarding for 8 years but I consider myself a good snowboarder.
-I rarely do park but I'll do any run on the mountain
-I love powder, moguls, carving, trees, speed.
- I'm looking for a board that's good at carving, holds an edge well at speed and is really responsive in the moguls
Thanks for your help!
Are you going to be riding snow out east? My friends about the same specs and he really enjoyed the Capita midlife Zero, but he is into park, so that might not be what you're looking for.
Great all mountain board.... Not for park...
What kind if money are you looking to spend. There are quite a few boards out there that will get the job done and do it well depending on what brand and what budget you have.
I'm not concerned about money as much as I am concerned with finding a board that will fit my needs perfectly. I've been thinking about a directional board as well just because they fit more the kind of boarding I do.
Lacroix, or Kessler The Ride since you're not worried about budget

For Sale or Trade:
HM-601 (the fat version)-final price drop
Will Ship To: Anywhere
Up for sale/trade my hm-601, 8 GB edition. I bought it from head-direct about 2 years ago(6/4/2011). I used it for 6-8 months overall on weekly basis along side my ipod and walkman and than I end up buying Rocoo BA and use that as my main on the go gear.
For screen protection I used a wide sticky tap. I tried to take it off but it is well stuck to the screen, I can try to take it off but I know it will be a hard process.
Condition:I would rate the condition 7/10. Please refer to the picture and decide for yourself
Battery life: After upgrading the firmware I end up noticing that the battery indicator keeps on showing that the unit is running out of battery after a full charging session. Initially I thought it might be the end of battery life and I end up contacting hifiman for battery replacement.
I decided to let the unit run and see if it is in fact the batteries end of life cycle. To my superize the battery lasted long after the screen indicator became zero. So i realized it was the firmware issue not the battery. I end up going to the old firmware and now the battery indicator works fine. The batter life after a full charge is 6-8 hours.
I am looking to trade this with a 32 GB F series or 64 GB F series and cash on my behalf. I am looking to sell this for xxxAUD excluding paypal and postage and handling.
Accessories: It comes with everything that came with the box.
Welcome other trading offers :-)
Important update for my future buyers:
Upon sending my unit to its new owner the buyer informed me that the reason why I had placed the sticky tape on the screen is to keep the screen which has came loss over one year ago in-take. Sadly I have forgotten about this issue since I did not use this unit for well over one year due to having obtained multiple other DAP.
As a result I misinformed the buyer unwillingly and as requested by the buyer I refunded a portion of the money to the buyer (I sold the unit $115+5 shipping and I refunded $20).
I felt this is important for the future customers to know this as I do not want to come across as dishonest. I always try to provide as much information as I can for the products I am selling, and sadly sometimes I forget critical things simply because I have too much gears and I dont get to use them as often as I like.

I finally bought Jennifer Casa's book Crafting with Kids, and let me tell you, it is amazing. Some really, really fun new ideas (I didn't know you could make chalk!)... plus a lot of the classic crafts that I didn't know how to execute well, like kaleidoscopes, tie-dye shirts, and anything using polymer clay or shrink plastic. 75 projects, people. With tons of photos. This is going to be a fantastic resource for us for years to come.
So yesterday we dove right in and made some Story Puzzle Blocks for an upcoming little friend's birthday. Picked up a bunch of old picture books at the thrift store for about $5, plus some wooden blocks at Hobby Lobby (thanks, Miss Wendy!). This morning after a final coat of Mod Podge we had ourselves a lovely handmade gift.
We like it so much we're making more for ourselves today. Something about cutting up the pieces and then putting them back together, like a mosaic, is so satisfying.
Sure, I'm doing most of the work at this point... but a little 3-year-old loved taking the discarded scraps and making her first real collage. And creative freedom is really what crafting time is all about, right? Love it.

text: Explore Crete Central Crete Eastern Crete Réthymnon and around Western Crete Share A good base for touring the Amári valley is Thrónos, a sizeable village at the valley's northern end with an inviting place to stay, Rooms Aravanes. The proprietor here – Lambros Papoutsakis – is a keen walker and conducts guided treks to the peak of Mount Psilorítis, which at 2456m is Crete's highest. Although he does guide groups up in the daytime, his preferred approach is during the full moons of June, July and August, which avoids the extreme summer temperatures. Phone in advance for details; it's not a difficult climb, but you'll need sturdy footwear and a sleeping bag. The summit is reached at around dawn, and the sunrise is always spectacular: on clear days the mountain offers a breathtaking view of the whole island and its four seas spreading in all directions. Other hikes from Thrónos include a relatively easy path leading north through the foothills in a couple of hours to themonastery of Arkádhi, while south from Thrónos is an easy stroll on a paved road running back into the main valley via Kalóyerosa. A map detailing these walks is available from Rooms Aravanes. Read More

The key to Malcolm Gladwell's success? "I happened to be doing things that I wanted to do and they happened to strike a chord at a certain point." Or maybe it isn't quite that simple. The author of Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and other books goes on to say, "Mastery is one thing; success and popularity are another."

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ORDER & 3 Bars
List of Gallantry / Campaign Medals & Awards
D.S.O. ... Middle East .... 20/2/42
Rank Lieutenant
1939 - 45 Star.
Africa Star with 8th Army Bar
Italy Star
France & Germany Star
Defence Medal
War Medal with MID Oak Leaf
Mentioned in Dispatches
Operation Exporter June/July 1941, Litani River 11 (Scottish Commando)
Legion D'Honneur
Croix De Guerre with Palm
The Blair Mayne Association
Each one of his four citations reached the same conclusions when they described Mayne's qualities of superb, fine and brilliant leadership. They also mentioned his outstanding gallantry and great courage. The D.S.O. ranks just slightly lower in stature than the Victoria Cross and to gain that prestigious award while holding the junior rank of Lieutenant made it an even more significant achievement. Only seven other men were to be awarded three bars to the D.S.O. The French people and their Government knew his worth and held Blair Mayne in very high esteem for his gallant and fearless conduct in helping to free their country from the Germans. They honoured him with the award of The Legion D'Honneur & Croix De Guerre on 5th March 1946 for his services. Those two great honours made him one of the most highly decorated Allied soldiers at the end of World War Two.
More than sixty years on since the ending of World War Two a very large number of men and women, including 100 Members of Parliment, from all sides of the house, still feel very strongly that despite all of his hard fought battles, undoubted bravery, outstanding leadership and incredible war time achievements he was wrongly, and indeed shamefully, treated by the military and political establishment of the day. Although, in fact, it is highly possible that he had already earned his country's highest bravery award on many previous occasions. These people are of the firm belief that Lt. Col. Robert Blair Mayne should not have had his citation downgraded but instead he should been granted the award that he was originally cited for after his heroic and selfless deeds during the action near Oldenburg.
The Victoria Cross.
Brig. Mike Calvert - Commander SAS Troops
Maj.Gen C. Vokes - GOC 4th Canadian Armoured Division
Lt.Gen G. Simonds - Commander 2nd Canadian Corp
Surely these three senior officers were not wrong to sign the citation ?
If you feel that the downgrading of the original citation was a travisty of justice then please contact your own MP, MLA or MSP. The Times, The Daily Mirror and The Belfast Telegraph newspapers have all recently carried articles regarding the failure of the military to stand by the original citation and the growing campaign to have the decision overturned.
The MP for Strangford, Mr James Shannon, has once again highlighted the campaign by asking a question in The House of Commons.
Not just one day a year
Please read the letter shown above and come to your own conclusions.
Did the Citation even reach the correct desk,
or was the decision not to award the Victoria Cross made by
someone who did not have the authority over something regarding such.....
Among the officers of the fifth
Though all of them were grand
There is one of them especially
To whom we raise our hand
We really don't care where we go
By car or sea or train
If they let us keep our rugby star
The six foot R. B. Mayne
For three long months though dear to us
We boasted of his fame
Now he has got to leave us
I think it is a shame
Our hearts are full of sadness
For we learned to call him friend
And all the hectic times we had
Are coming to an end
At first we hated him like hell
For he would not let us rest
He yelled and roared and barked at us
With most amazing zest
But his methods were correct
He soon got us in hand
And he made the 5th Light Battery
The smartest in the land
But here we are in England
Fretting out our soul
We'd rather be in Ulster
Than this God forsaken hole
A poem written by Gnr J Mawhinney
A member of the 5th Light

Caring for Caregivers
Arizona's caregivers prepare for their biggest challenge yet: the Silver Tsunami. Will they be able to handle the wave?
It's been called the "Silver Tsunami," that swelling wave of roughly 77 million baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, who began turning 65 in 2011 and whose sheer proportions threaten to impact virtually all of the health care and social services geared toward seniors in the coming years.

Here are some common misconceptions I had (and some hard truths I've learned) about life in China:
6 misconceptions:
1. People do not realize the news and Internet are censored.
In modern China, anyone who can afford a VPN (virtual private network) has one. This is a legal way to jump the "Great Firewall," granting users access to otherwise-blocked sites like Facebook and YouTube.
The state-run news agency, Xinhua, regularly edits or omits stories from its news coverage. "In China, we want you to be happy and comfortable," a director from my English education group said. "In the newspaper, the TV, the radio – all news is good news." He admitted to being very scared when he visited Arizona last year, thanks to all the U.S. news reports about guns there.
Notably among young professionals and students, the flow of "outside" information moves freely. When I first met the Foreign Affairs Officer for this school, he inquired as to which news organizations I trusted – I asked him the same question, and he wasn't able to answer.
2. Modern China is still 40 years behind America.
Compare the eastern seaboard of China and that of the U.S., and you'll be hard-pressed to find many differences. Mega-cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Dalian, Qingdao, and Hong Kong have gleaming skylines, bustling ports, and rising middle and upper classes. (The only holdover from the '70's is an inexplicable love of Michael Jackson.) Leave the newly moneyed east, though, and it will seem as though you've stepped on set for a remake of Pearl S. Buck's "The Good Earth." China is developing rapidly, but it is a developing country nonetheless. To compare "real China" to any aspect of our Western way of life is to contrast apples and Mandarin oranges.
3. "Chinese" is an ethnicity.
Much in the same way Americans assume all Iowans are white, we assume everyone in China is of one homogenous ancestry. While 91.5 percent of people are of Han Chinese descent, the other 8.5 percent is startlingly diverse. Zhuang Chinese, who live predominantly in southern Guangxi province, have a vastly different culture than their Uighur counterparts to the far west or Mongol Chinese in the north. The CIA World Factbook only lists 12 Chinese ethnicities, but in reality there are more than fifty.
4. "Chinese" is a language.
Mandarin Chinese is the most commonly spoken language in the world, but inside China you'll find that it's hardly the only tongue spoken here. Cantonese is regularly heard around Guangzhou in the far south, and Tibetan can be heard in the mountainous Xizang area. Nushu, a secretive "mosquito-like" language spoken only by women, can still be heard in the more remote corners of Hunan province. In total, China has seven official languages, but nearly 300 are spoken throughout the country.
5. All translations into English are hilariously misspelled.
While I can't vouch for the grammatical accuracy of signs, menus, and even museum display descriptions translated into English, they are generally spelled correctly and make sense. The refrigerator in my room has an "egg pocket;" one student wore a jacket today that read, "Insert text here!" in fancy lettering. Following the publication of "Chinglish: Found in Translation" in 2007, many cities and businesses have worked to correct their English translations, but ridiculous interpretations can still be found.
6. There is no empty space left.
While the big cities are teeming with overflowing high-rises and crowded buses, drive 50 miles from any city center and you will inevitably reach a rural area with plenty of open space. Most notably in the far west reaches of China, you will find enough unadulterated farmland to rival that in Iowa. There may be over 1.3 billion people here, but only 47 percent of them live in the cities of the world's fourth largest country. (Though it should be noted too that there are more than 160 cities here with over one million inhabitants; there are nine in the U.S.)
7 hard truths:
1. It's always (almost) sunny in China.
The official English-language newspaper China Daily attributed around 50,000 "mass incidents" (protests) to anger over pollution in 2005. Suffice to say, its gotten worse since then. On "sunny" days here in Yongzhou, a relatively isolated city in Hunan province, shadows appear but the sun is never actually visible for the smog. Guess I won't be getting that tan.
2. In the south, rooms will never be warm in winter.
Due to the short yet intense winter season in the south of China, most rooms are not equipped with heaters. Temperatures here in Yongzhou hover in the low 40's most days, but our classrooms and cafeteria are unheated (in fact, the doors are usually left open). Being a native Iowan, I can handle the cold, but now I fully appreciate respite from the chill when indoors.
3. Just because the device was made in China doesn't mean it works here.
I came to Yongzhou with an Android-equipped smartphone, a working hair straightener, and a very reliable battery recharger. I will leave China with several fried electronic devices.
4. Squat toilets are the norm.
Even when they are heated and outfitted with toilet paper (a rarity), this is the one cultural hurdle I cannot overcome.
5. Students are expected to be seen, not heard.
As a teacher of spoken English, this has been difficult to work around. Students are to give all deference to the teacher, remaining quiet and attentive for the entirety of class. (This, of course, never happens.) Eliciting answers out of a shy high schooler is easily the most frustrating aspect of the job.
6. Southern Chinese cuisine combines the best food with the wildest ingredients.
The Szechuan-style food delivered to your door cannot compare with real Chinese food (not to mention, there isn't even a "Szechuan" province here). The textures, the heat, and the colors all combine in mouth-pleasing arrays. Yet the rumors about what goes into these dishes are, unfortunately, true. There is a saying here in the south of China: "People will eat anything in the sky that's not a plane, and anything on the ground that's not a car."
7. People go out of their way to be extra-friendly.
This is not necessarily a bad thing: I have had students offer to buy me lunch, my school offer to specially install Chinese cable television in my unheated room (I don't have a TV), and a cook offer to make me custom dishes because he thought I wouldn't like spicy Hunan food. While it's the norm here to be very giving with favors, in America we call accepting these "taking advantage of someone." It's thoughtful, but also uncomfortable.
1 realization:
Life on Chinese time – slow, but deliberately so – is easy to get used to.

Proper form is good but not essential if you're a recreational rider leisurely noodling around your neighborhood on a hybrid bike. But if you're putting in a couple hours on the road or riding with a group that's pushing a steady pace, proper form is essential. It will make your pedaling more efficient and it will keep you from having stiff joints at the end of the ride. Though you don't need to have the perfect form of a pro racer, you'll be a much happier cyclist if you pay attention to certain things.
Correct Bike Size
First, check to see if your bike is the right size for you. You can do this by simply straddling the top tube — the part of the frame extending from the seat to the handlebars. Ideally, there should be at least an inch of clearance between your crotch and the tube as you stand flatfooted. Be sure to wear your cycling shoes when performing this measurement. Some newer bikes have a sloping top tube; if that's the case on your bike, allow for two to three inches of clearance.
Arm Reach
If you have a sore neck and shoulders during and after a ride, chances are your reach to the handlebars is off. Your arms should bend at the elbow. In part, this helps your body absorb the shock of the road, minimizing fatigue and soreness. It also keeps your back from assuming too extreme of an angle. Ideally, your torso should form an angle between 40 to 50 degrees in relation to the top tube. A flex in your elbows also puts you in better position to safely shift from the top of your handlebars to the drops and back up. If you find yourself stretching to reach the handlebars, you may need a shorter stem.
Light Grip
Do not squeeze the handlebars. A tight grip tenses your entire upper torso, causing unnecessary strain throughout. Also be sure to change your grip regularly to keep from over straining specific muscles. Ride with your hands atop the horns, on the top of the handlebar and in the drops.
Leg Extension
As you pedal, your leg on the down stroke extension should have only a slight bend at the knee. If your saddle is too low, you'll miss out on the full power of the down stroke; if it is too high, the excessive reach could result in knee and hip pain. The easiest way to check seat height is to have a friend steady your ride while you climb aboard.
Hip, Knee and Ankle Alignment
As you pedal, keep your hip, knee and ankle aligned. This not only ensures a better transfer of power to the pedals, it also makes it much less likely for you to suffer strains and injuries. A good — and safe — way to check this is to pedal toward a friend and have him or her critique your stroke. If you suffer knee pain while trying to stay in alignment, you may be a candidate for bike shoe orthotics.

It's the right decision for the community
The progressive view
Liberal Judaism wholeheartedly welcomes the Supreme Court decision.
Although arguably legally complex, this issue is for Liberal Jews a simple one: Jewish identity is a matter of sincere commitment, and genuine identification. Liberal Judaism has, therefore, right from the outset, supported those families who have felt discriminated against by the Jewish Free School (JFS) Board of Governors.
Liberal Judaism considers that Judaism is transmitted culturally within families through example and influence rather than genetically. This process of cultural identification and commitment is more difficult to capture in a simple statement or legal principle but it more accurately expresses and explains Jewish identity than any biological test.
If a biological test were to be relevant, Liberal Judaism would not support one which discriminated in favour of Jewish mothers and against Jewish fathers.
It is for these reasons that Liberal Judaism is at variance with the traditional ways of defining "Who is a Jew?" This might have remained a fundamental, even academic, but certainly not necessarily public, matter, had it not been for the rules of admission of JFS.
The JFS chose to test "Jewishness" for admissions by reference to the Office of the Orthodox Chief Rabbi of the United Synagogue.
Liberal Judaism considers this a politically-motivated decision and one which is inappropriate for a state-funded school which ought be serving the whole Jewish community without discrimination. This matter has been a self-inflicted wound, yet one we can all learn from.
It has risked the Jewish community being portrayed as more concerned with petty, territorial squabbles than providing the best of Jewish education to the widest number of Jews.
Liberal Judaism plays its full role in the British Jewish community, and hopes that the community can in the future demonstrate its pluralism, without recourse to the courts.

Can't help you with your home state but I have sent out ten pistols and one rifle for refinishing to Techplate (www.techplate.com) in California. Prices are good and they're back to me in four weeks. They have great email customer service mainly through a gent named Marshall. I've had nine of the pistols hard-chromed, one rifle hard-chromed and one aluminum pistol frame black-anodized. I couldn't be happier. Good luck and take a look at their website.
best wishes- oldandslow

Using Web Tools for Student Publishing: Classroom Examples
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5, 6–8
At Pensacola Catholic High School, Michelle Bourgeois works with teachers to help them integrate online tools into their classroom. For example, Western Civilization teacher Christine Day used Google Docs to have student groups report on world religions. Her students were divided into teams of four and six and given seven questions to answer in their report. Her students spent time both in and out of class researching and writing their portion of the final product. See a sample of their final product.
In another example, English teacher Nancy Collins had her literature students create a wiki to share their understanding of the characters from The Canterbury Tales. Each student translated a section of the General Prologue and then created a "ChaucerSpace" page for their pilgrim. Take a look at their wiki.
Gayle Berthiaume's students study the paper-making process in science and then take a trip to a local paper recycling plant which also fits into their social studies goods and services unit. They create a book about their trip as a writing experience.
Integrating math and social studies, Gayle Berthiaume's students created a book called Circles Around the World. They used copyright-free online photos along with photos they took to illustrate their book.

Apatow's '40' thinly entertaining
"This Is 40" is a sort of sequel to "Knocked Up" that catches up with the struggling, funny and quite real sidekick couple of that film, Debbie and Pete, played by Leslie Mann (Mrs. Apatow) and Paul Rudd.
It's an intermittently amusing dance through generations of bad parenting come home to roost, poor family planning and worse economic planning, when they both hit that milestone birthday, which tells Debbie they're getting old.
They're too young to need "medicine to have sex," and she doesn't want to shop at "old lady stores ... like Ann Taylor Loft."
But here they are. He takes Viagra. She hides her birthday and insists she's 38. He breaks wind in bed to remind you that Apatow was once Adam Sandler's roommate.
They're impulsive, unfiltered folks who can't understand how their 13- and 8-year-old daughters (Apatow and Mann's real-life kids) have the same potty-mouths they do..
And now, at 40, the chickens are coming home to roost. He can't support his broke, mooching father, himself a new dad (Albert Brooks). She can't make peace with her stiff, estranged "biological father" (John Lithgow).
Their constantly fighting digital-device-addicted kids give them no peace and little satisfaction.
"This Is 40" is more like Apatow's excruciating "Funny People" than "Knocked Up."
Apatow spends much time on Pete's struggles to get '70s rocker Graham Parker relaunched on his record label, more time with Pete trying to "teach" his wife and kids to love "good" music and not the Gaga goo they're listening to.
The parenting traps Debbie and Pete fall into are more outrageous -- monitoring the 13 year-old's Facebook account, confronting her Facebook teaser with insults, profanity and physical threats, profanely debating the teaser's mom (Melissa McCarthy).
The Apatow daughters' performances remind one of the children of Demi Moore and Will Smith -- more showbiz-connected than qualified as actors.
If "This Is 40," one shudders to think what he'll serve up when that AARP card arrives in the mail and he -- and Mann -- are faced with "This Is 50."

12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: �Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.
16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus� name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
17 �Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
20 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you�even Jesus.
21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
22 For Moses said, �The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.�[a]
24 �Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days.
25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, �Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.�[b]
26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.�
Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin
Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin
1 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.
2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.
4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.
5 The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.
6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest�s family.
7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: �By what power or what name did you do this?�
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: �Rulers and elders of the people!
9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,
10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
��the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.�[c]
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.�
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.
15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
16 �What are we going to do with these men?� they asked. �Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it.
17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.�
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied, �Which is right in God�s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!

Coastal sand dunes are threatened ecosystems
that support rare and endangered animal and plant
species. It is important to preserve dunes and
restore damaged sites wherever possible. In order to
protect sand dune systems of high conservation value,
their ecology needs to be understood, so that
informed decisions can be made as to how to manage
these habitats. The research presented in this book
addresses the threats of overstabilisation,
accelerated successional development and atmospheric
deposition of nitrogen, and investigates how
livestock grazing management can contribute to
maintaining the high conservation value of these
habitats. A new critical load for
nitrogen for dune grasslands was established which
could aid policy decisions. Livestock grazing was
shown to have an important role for the conservation
management of sand dunes, and seed banks have the
potential to contribute to vegetation change. These
findings can all inform future management efforts.

Katharina Plassmann is currently based at Bangor University, UK.
She trained as an ecologist and works on a range of projects
relating to the subject areas of climate change and agriculture
with a special interest in carbon footprinting. This book is
based on research she carried out for her doctoral degree which
she gained in 2006.

JOHN TRAVOLTA is digging in his (high) heels when it comes to coming out.
No matter how many men come forward about his interest in massage, no matter if he's photographed smooching with his male pilot on the tarmac, Travolta is straight. Straighter than straight.
The irony of all this is that no one cares.
Travolta isn't a buff, virile action hero, and he hasn't been a romantic lead since the 1980s. Travolta rumors have been around so long, people already assume what they want to assume.
These days, the only people to whom Travolta's sexual orientation matters are the men who come forward seeking to embarrass him with their touchy claims while they seek some of that "Look Who's Talking" money.

The day had been surreal. It was Tuesday, the second day after my birthday.
That morning, I decided to catch up on my reading. My girlfriend from Florida, who summers in my neighborhood, purchased for me a signed copy of Colby Buzzell's second book, "Lost in America: A Dead End Journey." The book was shipped from City Lights Bookstore located in San Francisco, where Buzzell, who is one of favorite living writers, lives. Buzzell must have gone in the bookstore and signed the copies, and it's extra cool that I now have one.
After reading, I invited two of my friends over for a birthday lunch. Big Dave just took a job as a cheesemaking apprentice at the award winning Firefly Cheese Farm, and I enjoyed hearing about pressing the whey from the bags, as Dave, Tim and I enjoyed my burger and sausage stuffed green peppers smothered in alfredo sauce with vineyard concord grapes, fresh lemonade and applesauce spiced fruitcake. Another friend, Slappy, also dropped in for a birthday visit.
Article Photos
Photo by Debra Wolf
A trivet showing a barnyard scene was among items displayed at a family auction.
My friends were treated to a tour of my place to see the items I had acquired over my birthday weekend. I showed them a large gold-framed mirror, a folded American service flag, a framed photograph of a farm, a stuffed teddy bear, a dancing chicken, a talking puppy, a pillow, a brass communion set, an assortment of dog collars, five ceramic pumpkins, a cherry pie server, a stained glass lamp featuring two frogs looking up at a lily pad, a bust of a golden stag with its horns holding a flask filled with red and gold Christmas balls, wooden rolling pins, a Confederate Civil War plate, a leather key holder and more.
The items came from an estate auction conducted on the Saturday morning before my birthday. The estate belonged to my childhood neighbors. Watching the items start to make their way out of the house, the building where they had been kept and gathered over the years, was difficult. I cried for two days, the Thursday and Friday, before the sale.
On the day of the sale, however, I felt a peace seeing friends and neighbors gathering. Memory after memory came back to me, as I looked at the items on the tables and the items lifted up by the auctioneer's assistant for sale. I remembered good times. I really realized how these two people, this wonderful couple I had a chance to grow up beside, had shaped me into the woman I am today.
After the auction, I learned that my childhood neighbor and Mickey Mouse shared the same birthday. There were many Mickey Mouse items in the auction, and I ended up with a Mickey Mouse tin, which I will treasure.
How lucky I have been to have had so many friends, old and dear.

Dirk's big night helps Mavericks get out of Denver with a W
DENVER - The Mavericks had what is generally known as a made-to-order win handed to them on a silver platter Wednesday night when Denver's three best big men were out of commission.
It wasn't easy, but Dallas found a way to take advantage of a golden opportunity.
A huge night from Dirk Nowitzki and a go-ahead 3-pointer by Caron Butler made the difference as the Mavericks squeaked out a 102-101 win over a short-handed and 3-point happy bunch of Nuggets.
Defensively, the Mavericks again were solid. And Nowitzki was virtually unguardable as he rang up a season-best 35 points and ripped down 12 rebounds. Jason Terry added 20 points and Butler had 16, including a 3-pointer with 2:01 to go that put the Mavs up, 102-99.
The Nuggets got a Carmelo Anthony bucket with 32 seconds left after the Mavericks chewed up more than a minute off the clock on one possession by getting two offensive rebounds against the smaller Nuggets.
Denver was missing center Nene and power forwards Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen.
"They hit us with a barrage of 3s in the second half, and we were somehow able to survive it," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "With Nene not playing, they were going to play smaller and attack us off the dribble.
"It comes down to one possession either way. You're going to walk out of here either feeling great or terrible."
It was the Mavericks who were smiling, but the Nuggets almost pulled off an unlikely comeback with their 3-point shooting.
The Mavericks led by 11 points in the third quarter, and while the Nuggets chipped away, it was still a 93-90 Dallas lead midway through the fourth quarter when the Mavericks had a miserable exchange.
Nowitzki missed a wide-open dunk, banging it off the back of the rim. Jason Kidd ran down the rebound in the backcourt, but Terry missed and Butler couldn't get an uncontested layup to drop.
The Nuggets went the other way for a dunk by Arron Afflalo to make it a one-point game.
Afflalo canned a 3-pointer and Carmelo Anthony, trying to salvage a rough offensive night, hit a jumper and the Nuggets were up, 97-93.
Nowitzki refused to let the Mavericks curl up. He scored three times to put Dallas ahead. After Anthony's drive tied it, Butler reared up with the shot clock ticking down and stuck a triple from the right wing.
After a long possession ended with a Terry turnover, the Nuggets went to Anthony on the last play, but his 18-footer rimmed out.
"I knew they were going to him," said Shawn Marion, who guarded Anthony on the play. "All you can do is make it tough on him to catch it and tough to shoot it without fouling."
Ajinca plays waiting game: Third-year center Alexis Ajinca was not completely surprised that the Mavericks did not pick up his fourth-year option, but that didn't make it any less disappointing.
Since his rookie contract will end after this season, he will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
"They said they were not ready to sign right now, so we'll have to wait," the 7-1 Ajinca said. "I'm a little disappointed. But I'll try to work harder than anybody else."
Ajinca is making a shade under $1.5 million this season, and the Mavericks would have had to pay him $2.25 million for next year's option.
TV change: Saturday's home game against Denver has been switched to Ch. 21. Tip-off is 8 p.m. ... The Nuggets host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.
