Sol Adler, the longtime executive director of the 92nd Street Y, has been fired in the aftermath of a criminal investigation, the Y announced Friday evening.
In an e-mail sent out shortly before Shabbat, the board explained that it had decided to dismiss Adler after learning he had been engaged in an "undisclosed long term personal relationship" with a subordinate, Cathy Marto. Marto, who had served as the 92Y's liaison for board and donor relations, is the mother-in-law of a former employee suspected of having demanded and received illegal payments from 92Y vendors.
While the Y e-mail did not name Marto's son-in-law, the Daily News, in an article Saturday, identified him as Sal Taddeo, a onetime stockbroker arrested in 1997 for his role in a Mafia-run Wall Street scam.
According to the News, Taddeo, who worked for years as the Y's director of facilities, left in February, shortly before the Y received an anonymous letter about his alleged criminal dealings.
In the course of the Y's investigation, Marto was "terminated for incomplete or inaccurate answers to investigators," according to the board's e-mail, and two other employees were terminated "for engaging in and failing to report suspected inappropriate behavior."
While the Y decided to dismiss Adler upon learning of his relationship with Marto, immediately after its decision "Mr. Adler entered the hospital very suddenly" and "we determined not to take action on that day out of concern for him and compassion for his family as we sought to learn the details of his condition."
According to the e-mail Deputy Executive Director Henry Timms will take over as Interim Executive Director while the board conducts a search for a permanent successor to Adler.
"While we know this news is unsettling, we believe that the 92Y Board has taken the appropriate steps so that the kind of activity discovered should never happen again," it said. "The Board has engaged an independent accounting firm to assist in implementing best financial practices and we are undertaking a top to bottom governance review to ensure that all of the people in our organization live up to the values we espouse."
Adler, whose compensation totaled $436,370 in 2011, the most recent year for which tax forms are available, had been with the Y since 1978 and its top executive since 1988. The Y website credited him with doubling the number of its programs, and raising more than $80 million.

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
A scandal? What does anyone really know for sure. It has been posted in publications most intelligent people wouldn't read on paper. By mistake on the internet perhaps....mind your own business and think about the lives of those who have been injured...Chaim!
I second most of the comments This has been going on since the 80's and 90's, when I worked there. Maybe Facilities has just too many temptations.
What took the board so many years to finally act? Perhaps the board is also corrupt? I worked at the Y in the 80's creating programs and did not want to be a part of the corrupt practices that are going on in that institution.
I am wondering what is the educational background and work experiences of Catherine Marto? Did she in fact have qualifications to be hired as the Director of the Board and Executive Donor Relations ? Does she have a college degree or business experience that would warrant her to be hired in such a high paying position? Who hired her and when was she hired? What were he job responsibilities prior to working at the 92nd St. Y ? I think the answers to these questions will go to the root of the serious problem that developed and should be investigated and addressed by donors, board and the media. Any government agencies that gave money to the 92nd St. Y should also demand answers since taxpayers are indirectly involved.
I work @ the Y for many years, an this was the talk of everyone, there this has been going on for many years before this came to light, many operation directors were fired for taking kickbacks before sal,there was a Elmer, that was let go for the same reason.
Where are the books from the Buttenweiser Library that was closed? Who signed off on the hiring of Sal Taddeo? Does the 92nd St Y have a Human Resources section where new hirings are reviewed ? Many government agencies gave extensive amounts of money to the Y. Are they involved in conducting their own investigation? Weren't some of these funds from tax payers? Why were hardworking dedicated people who worked in the Library fired but a convicted felon rose to a management position? There are many questions that need to be answered but whether they will be even be asked by the media by is questionable. This is a disgraceful situation that needs to be fully investlgated on many levels.
This is the same 92Y that invited anti-Israel speakers Roger Waters and Alice Walker. This corruption of Jewish values goes far deeper than the executive director, his mistress and the mafia connections. A full housecleaning is in order.
I know all of them. I think it's a total disgrace, especially since Cathy was renting from Sol Adler's mother-in-law. I feel bad for his wife, and his kids. What a total loser he turned out to be, as well as Cathy being a total disgrace to everyone as well. I hope they terminate his pension, as well as Cathy's. Also, how can you hire an ex-convict? What a disgrace to the whole community!!!
To say you know them all and then post as anonymous is cowardly. You should never wish human pain, suffering or misfortune on anyone. Demanding accountability is one thing but to say you hope they terminate her pension is just hateful. All people make mistakes, and all people disappoint. As humans we sometimes err in judgement and who knows what drives our motivation or controls our decision making at times. But as a society we should be concerned with forgiveness, not punitive social condemnation. What is the benefit of inflaming the stories and circumstances behind these terrible misfortunes. People have been outed, they have been fired, and publicly named and shamed. Is that not enough? Imagine your worst wrong doing posted in the New York Post and then everyone who read it just amplifying the chain of anger and humiliation. Who does that serve? Make sure your own house is in order before being so unnecessarily judgmental. Think of the kind of society you want to live in and the way you'd like to be treated when you blow it big time. Be an example of that kind of world. Elevate.
Ironic that you, who condemn someone for posting anonymously posted anonymously yourself!
You strike me as being Sanctimonious pointing fingers yet pretending to be a forgiving and good Person.
One of those Holier than Thou. Reading between the lines, you may be closely involved with the 92Y!
Please list your own name!
And for your information I am not involved with the 92Y at this point, just disillusioned by the bad choices of speakers Walker, Waters, Ben Ami and others
so I am no longer attending or supporting this cesspool.
Perhaps we will now find out the real reason why a Jewish institution dismantled its library for a "construction" project to move the marketing department in-house. I still want to know where the books are buried.
I have to 2nd Susan's observation about the dismantling of the library. I'm not an insider but I think any institution that claims to be a shareholder in Jewish Culture should account for the library's collection, which it had an obligation to preserve. I'm sure there is a story there that needs to be told, in print or online.
There is an opportunity for redemption.
It's not the first time this has happened in the JCC's and Y's
Any chance the JW is going to delve into the "insular" culture that seemed to have been the Y? How Adler and the other two were "fervently corrupt? Will the JW reporters interview the rabbi of the synagogue Adler attended to perhaps analyze how he could have gone so wrong? Probably not, since the subject doesn't have a kippah.
this is a good scandal
it has both sex and money

According to reports, there were only two employees at the office at the time, who told police they were ordered into the restroom. The robber then searched the back area of the establishment before leaving.

The Atlantic History Seminar Web site recently established pages devoted to abstracts of dissertations in Atlantic history in the early modern period. We present here dissertations on topics in Atlantic history, in progress or recently completed. The site operates by a combination of solicitation and self-submission; we try to be on the lookout for dissertations in the field, but we strongly encourage those of you working in Atlantic History in the early modern period to send an abstract to us.
We now have an Abstract Submission Form that can be filled out and submitted online. For browsers that cannot deal with forms, users can see the format on the abstract page, and simply send the required information in the body of an email. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words.
We are particularly eager to include abstracts from scholars in countries other than the United States, including those working in languages other than English. We will be happy to post abstracts in any language, though we would like to provide an English translation as well, and so request, but do not require, dual abstracts for foreign-language dissertations.

text: This ticket was probably issued in 1894 in Nelson or in 1895 in Blackburn, as these were the only two places when admission was fourpence. This 'Scholar's ticket' was one of Charlie Keith's attempts to offer lower admission prices to children. In later years children were offered half priced tickets to the Pit and Promenade at Keith's Circus. At the Day Performances on Thursdays and Saturdays, tickets to all parts of the circus were sold at half price to children. Wealthy patrons could buy a season ticket, which would admit them to all parts of the circus at every performance, while there was a range of prices for Boxes, Pit or Promenade. There were no seat numbers in the circus. Once you had bought a ticket for your chosen part of the circus you simply went in and found a seat.

FLEMINGTON, N.J. - Gov. Christie said Thursday he strongly disapproved of his former aide's involvement in the George Washington Bridge lane closures and implored residents not to feel sorry for him as prosecutors investigate the alleged payback scheme and his poll numbers continue to fall.
At Christie's 115th town hall, at a packed church in Hunterdon County, Cathy Cordes of Raritan Township told the governor: "People are getting the impression that you're guilty before you're proven innocent.
"I feel very sorry for you and this whole situation," she said. "I don't think enough people are defending you."
Christie said he appreciated those remarks but declared he wouldn't throw himself a "pity party."

SLOW STICK AP PILOTS, Spec Check!
Slow Stick Pilots,
Since the GWS Slow Stick is hands down the de facto platform of choice for AP photos (based on the # of threads of the forum), I went out and purchased one along with the recommended GWS flight pack.
I have successfully shot AP pictures with my glow, but wanted to expand the areas where I can launch, take photos, and recover.
I took my slow stick up this AM for a check out flight, no cam on-board. WHAT A DOG! She flew for all of 3 minutes, and never gained more than 75 feet in altitude! Uggghhh! I know my set-up is the problem because many of you have taken awesome photos at 500-750 feet. And that is with the Pencam payload. We talk a lot about camera configs, but I see little on what motor, battery, etc people are using with their slow stick. So please post your specs so I can figure out my problem.
Here are my specs:
Motor: Stock EPS300C
Battery: GWS 7.2 Volt, 400 maH
Servos: (2) GWS Mini Standard
Speed Controller: GWS ICS100
Prop: Stock 11"
Looks to me like your battery may be the problem. Only 400mAh? It'll probably only be good for delivering a couple of Amps at best. Suggest you browse or search this forum to find what batteries most are using - 7 or 8 KAN 950 cells seem to be fairly popular and will be able to deliver more power and much more duration than your existing pack. This 'upgrade' alone should enable your model to fly fairly well as standard, but you may also want to consider a motor upgrade if your camera setup is going to weigh more than a couple of ounces. Brushless isn't strictly necessary, but the extra power can be useful at times and you'll also find the reduced maintenance a bonus.
My SS at this point is still stock as far as the motor goes - did the same as you originally (7.2V pack) with the same results... Went to Wal-Mart, got some AAA and AA NiMH - made a multitude of 7 and 8 cell packs... Upgraded the motor wiring as well... Works much better... Search Tucson on parkflyers for alot of recent pics from DaveWCO and myself...
If you happen to be in Tucson on the 21st, a few eZoners are getting together at Naylor Middle School (Columbus just S of 22nd St) about 10:30... My SS and DaveWCO's SS (Astro brushless & Li-Poly set-up) and I'm sure a few other SS's will be there to see... Bring yours along as well to fly - lower altitude might help - if you haven't gotten around to upping the bat volts...
Santa supposed to be bringing me an Aiptek - got an EPS-400C BB E-gear for it to swap on the SS... Maybe next fiscal year will budget BL and LP...
Watt Noise?
I just rigged one of my NIMI 7.2 volt 900mah Aerobird Challenger batteries to connect to the SS. Will this give me the power and endurance I am looking for?
Next weekend I have to wtach the kids while the wife goes to Tucson to finish her Xmas shopping. I will take you up on that offer the next time you guys plan a get together!
What a difference 500 mah makes! The slow stick took off like a bat out of hell. I took her vertical on one occasion! I flew for at least 10 minutes without thottle management. I think I am ready to tote that pencam now.
I highly recommend you upgrade to a S400 motor. It's a cheap upgrade, but it will give you more power and last longer than the stock 300. For tooling around without the camera, this mod really isn't necessary. But you may find yourself flying in riskier spots when you are taking photos, and you will want the added power and reliability.
Your mileage may vary, but I burned up 4 of the stock 300 motors using 8 cells before I finally went brushless.
You won't likely burn one up as quickly since you are using 6 cells, but you may want the added power 8 cells and S400 can give you for hauling the cam quickly up to altitude.
And you may want to adjust your numbers:
"I know my set-up is the problem because many of you have taken awesome photos at 500-750 feet."
For many of us, that's 1,500 feet and up.
SS Power
I am flying the SS with the stock motor still. I quickly bought a Thunder Power 2100 that is listed at 7.4 volts. It has had the power to get the plane up, carry the camera, and get the plane out of jams when extra power is needed to get clear of those famous "pop-up obstickles."
Re: SLOW STICK AP PILOTS, Spec Check!
my specs are:
motor = EPS350c
Batteries =
1) GWS 7.2v 270MaH ni-cd 6cell (good for about 10 min.)
2) GWS 8.4v 730MaH NI-MH 7 cell (good for about 15 min.)
3) Generic 1600MaH NI-MH 6 cell AA (haven't flown long enough, but a bit too heavy)
Servos = Pico (borrowed from E-starter)
ESC = Pixie 20p
Stock prop = 10x4.7
Custom front wheels
Reinforced top leading edge of wing w\spar 3/4 across.
Needs: Must reinforce front Landing gear. Too springy\flexible.
Ahhhhh! Steve your killing me!
"What Brushless motor would be good for the SS..? "
I'm interested in that answer too.
People are all over the place with this one.
We've got Slow Sticks sporting Hacker B20 15L and 26S, Mega's, Razors, and MiniAC's, Astro 010's, and 020's.
The most common are the Razor 350 and 400, and the miniAC 1215/16.
Both the Razor and MiniAC can drop right into a GWS gearbox with little modification. The miniAC requires the pinion gear to be drilled out.
I use the miniAC and a VMGM planetary 6:1 gearbox. Screws right onto the GWS mount, no mods needed. You can also just zip tie the motor to the front end. Works great.
Nice thing about brushless is the added power, efficiency, and longevity. These babies won't burn out on you.
I use the Phoenix 25 ESC, hard to beat.

I also use the miniAC 1215/16 with the VMGM 6:1 planetary gearbox, powered with a KAN 1050 Mah Nimh battery. With this combination, I have had no trouble carrying my Mini PenCam and Casio altimeter to some pretty impressive altitudes. You can't go wrong with a good brushless power system. jmh

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Courtrooms across the Birmingham area were busy this week, with sentences handed down, trials re-set and much more. Here are a few highlights from the past week.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Blackburn on Tuesday sentenced a Gadsden man, who pleaded guilty to the 2008 armed robbery with another man of $106,950 from a Jacksonville credit union, to six years and five months in prison. Alex Junior Dozier and another man had robbed the credit union while dressed as women.
The sentencing hearing had been started on March 13, but was continued to this week. Dozier pleaded guilty in September to two counts of a Nov. 30, 2011 indictment charging him with armed bank robbery and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
Dozier was represented by defense attorney Jeffrey Bramer. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Weil prosecuted the case.
Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Clyde Jones on Monday re-set the arson trial of Anthony Weaver to June 17. Weaver and two Birmingham police officers were charged in connection with a string of arsons last year.
Weaver's case had been set to go to trial Monday but was reset by the judge based on an agreement by both sides. Hiram Dodd Jr. is the attorney for Weaver. Deputy Jefferson County District Attorney John Geer is prosecuting the case.
At a Thursday hearing, a Bessemer Cutoff judge ordered a man on probation for manslaughter to complete a program that will help him find a job and to check in with his probation officer.
Dante Talley pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2006 and received a 20 year split sentence, with three years in prison and five on probation. If he does not complete his probation, he will have to serve the remaining 17 years of his sentence.
At the hearing, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge David Hobdy reprimanded Talley for not visiting the probation office regularly.
Talley told the judge he had fallen on "hard times." Hobdy told a probation officer that if Talley fails to check in one more time, he should pick him up and he will be sent to prison.
Talley was charged in a 2005 wreck that killed a 29-year-old Bessemer woman.
The case of a 21-year-old Birmingham man who turned himself in to Fairfield police in a February shooting will go before a Jefferson County grand jury, according to court records.
DeMarcus Thompkins was charged with capital murder in the death of Nathaniel Williams Jr., 28, who was found fatally shot Feb. 28.
Jefferson County District Court Judge David Hobdy sent the case to a grand jury during a preliminary hearing Monday afternoon. Thompkins is represented by Bret Gray.
According to Thompkins' taped confession, he shot and killed Williams Feb. 27 in front of Williams' home, left the body in a Fairfield alley, then fled to Selma where he tried to destroy evidence of the crime.

This week's question for the PEOPLE of Staten Island: What advice would you give a large group of people?
Jaclyn Alderete: "I always tell people whether you are working for a business or self-employed, always remember you ARE YOUR OWN AMBASSADOR..YOU ARE YOUR OWN CHEERLEADER. You are your biggest cheerleader. The other BIG piece of advice I tell people is, "Life is not too short...it's too long so you better enjoy doing what you love."
Danny Ingellis: "I'd tell people to be respectful of everyone. Respect is a paramount trait that everyone should have. Respect is taught. You are not born with it. Parents need to teach their kids how to be respectful. Secondly, everyone should live their dreams. I have a lovely family and I even have grandchildren. I'm treating everyone what I've been taught, the way I'd like to be treated. I'm 2009 I donated my kidney to our former District Attorney, Bill Murphy. I was the second donor. The first donor kidney died."
Carol Brady: "I'd tell them to always take care of your parents. I'm worried about my parents. They're both 87 years old and I'm concerned they will be able to continue the quality of life that they deserve as they age. They have always provided for their children and grandchildren and have been the loving foundation of our family. My worry is if something should happen to either of them and one is left alone, what would I do. They are very dependent on each other, especially my mom, who cannot live without my dad. She is not able to care for herself alone."
Brian Stephens: "I have so many other thoughts on this, but I'll be succinct. The most important thing I'd tell people is to find their happiness, whatever that happiness means to them. Your happiness may not be someone else's idea of happiness, but it's yours and you should pursue it. You should live it. Also, I'd tell them to be happy with what you have, no matter what you do. Help people whenever you can. Love your family and always be true to yourself."
Gena Mimozo: "My advice would be to listen when someone is speaking to you. And while you're listening, really try to hear what they are saying. Not enough people do that. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes to actually hear someone out then to just be listening to them talk."

In recent years there has been a great deal of theoretical and practical material published on adaptation studies. Among the major works include Robert Stam's Literature Through Film (2005) and Linda Hutcheon's recent Theory of Adaptation (2006), or Linda Cahir's Literature into Film (new edn. 2007), all of which try to move the discussion of adaptation away from issues of fidelity, and to interpret the idea of 'adaptation' as something more than simply transforming a literary or fictional text into a cinematic work.
However many of the questions about how adaptation studies might be taught in the classroom, at whatever level, remains unaddressed - even though adaptation studies are widely taught on a number of programs in different departments, both in the United States and elsewhere. There seems to be a need for a volume to address such issues, designed both for teachers and students - that would not only sum up the major theoretical and practical issues surrounding adaptation, but would also show these issues operating in practice. The volume might also provide a guide as to the breadth of work being done under the name of 'adaptation studies'.
The potential market for this volume would include students and teachers of film studies, popular culture and literature at the university and/or high school levels.
Some of the issues that might be focused on could include: -
Individual contributions are invited, covering one or more of these topics. As this book is designed as a textbook, the preferred focus might be on how these issues have been dealt with in the classroom. Accounts of particular teaching techniques and/or methods would be welcome, as would any contributions that engage with theoretical issues concerning adaptation, and how they might be discussed in the classroom. The focus should be as wide as possible, and not simply restricted to film/literary texts, giving some idea of the range of material covered in adaptation studies
Contributions can be of any length, although we would prefer a minimum of (8-10) A4 double-spaced pages. At this point we are interested in proposals (500 words maximum) outlining the scope and aims of a possible contribution. If you are interested, please contact Dennis Cutchins: email@example.com mailto:(email@example.com and Laurence Raw: email@example.com mailto: firstname.lastname@example.com

Newly single, Ryan Phillippe was definitely in a party mode at Teddy's inside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, where he mingled with several female clubgoers. Sporting a tight gray T-shirt, the actor hopped on the dancefloor and started getting down with somebody while Samantha Ronson spun tunes from the deejay booth. The actor and his lady friend were flirting, but then Phillippe started focusing his attention on a brunette. The two talked closely, getting pretty hands-on with each other as they danced. At one point Phillippe, who had a vodka drink in his hands all night, made a lap into the hotel's lobby, where he chatted up a few more girls before returning to the club.

Truth commission needed
Four secret Bush-era Justice Department memos and a 2008 Senate report, now made public, lay out in shocking detail the reckless lawlessness at the highest levels of the administration of President George W. Bush.
Quiet heroine outsmarts legal gang
A young waitress devotes herself to raising her four daughters and has hopes, some day, of being able to enroll in junior college. But she lives in a small Texas town that is ruled by its powerful white legal establishment. Raids against African American people are common, and nearly all of the accused take plea-bargained guilty verdicts because the cards are stacked against them.
Torture handbook ignites firestorm

LIA Monthly Economic Report - Modest gain in payroll jobs
By: Dr. Pearl M. Kamer, LIA Chief Economist
The U.S. gained a modest 96,000 payroll jobs in August and the nation's unemployment rate dipped slightly to 8.1%, only because more "discouraged" workers gave up looking for jobs. This prompted the Federal Reserve to announce QE III, an open-ended attempt to stimulate the economy.
The nation's economy is still troubled by anemic job growth. Fewer than 100,000 payroll jobs were generated in August and 41,000 fewer jobs were created in June and July than previously estimated. Since the beginning of this year, employment growth has averaged 139,000 jobs per month as compared with an average monthly gain of 153,000 jobs per month in 2011. August employment gains were concentrated in eating and drinking places, professional and technical services and health care. Manufacturers continued to shed workers as exports softened.

(Wave) Thank you! I love my current routine very much I am not looking amazing, but I am improving, which is the main thing.
Yesterday: I swear, going to 6:10 pm Family Zumba is the hardest thing i do in a week (I get up at 3:45 am), but it is worth it, because it gives so much joy to my daughter. I stopped fixating on the workout, and instead we dance together, and having a blast. I love it when other class participants smile at our 'moves'. Went a bit higher on calories, firstly because I ate at the all-day course, and couldn't resist extra olives, and secondly because I made short ribs, and my body-building resolve lost out in the boiled red snapper vs ribs choice! Plus, with Zumba, I figured, eating a bit more might stave off a binge.
I felt absolutely no hunger after 8 am breakky of egg whites and 1 egg till about 1 pm, but was ravenous from 3 pm on after a lunch of cucumbers, celery and roast beef stripped off sandwiches (and olives, lol!)

There are two things "Made in Jersey" in the picture featured above, but we're going to deal with only one of them.
Once again, Buzz Aldrin has to play second fiddle.
The American flag was about 70 years old when brothers Benjamin and Edward Annin founded Annin Flagmakers in New York City in 1847. After the Civil War, business boomed as private citizens began, for the first time, to display American flags outside their homes. Wars have a way of doing that; Annin's business surged again following America's entry into World War I in 1917.
All this business caused the company to outgrow its digs in Manhattan; Annin built a plant on Bloomfield Avenue in Verona in 1919, featuring the most modern equipment available at the time including mechanized die cutters and motorized sewing machines. The Verona plant remained in operation until June 2013.
Over the years, the company had a number of significant commissions, including flags for the opening ceremonies of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 and the American flags that were first planted at the North Pole (in 1909) and South Pole (in 1930). Though not specifically made for the purpose, Annin even manufactured the flag that was raised atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, captured in the timeless photo by Joe Rosenthal on Feb. 23, 1945.
But on July 20, 1969, Annin was able to make a claim that no other flag maker, before or since, could -- the first flag to "fly" on the surface of another heavenly body – when they supplied a flag for NASA's Apollo 11 moon landing mission. The effect of the flag stretched in a breeze was achieved, incidentally, by way of a metal rod that extended the top of the flag away from its support pole. There are no breezes on the moon.
In addition to its corporate headquarters in Roseland, Annin has manufacturing facilities in South Boston and Cobbs Creek, Va., and Coschocton, Ohio. The company produces more than three million full-sized American flags every year, while also making millions of smaller versions of the stars and stripes as well as flags for other clients including the U.S. Marine Corps.
And Buzz, we didn't forget about you. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was born in Glen Ridge on Jan. 20, 1930, and was the second human to set foot on the moon.
Do you fly and American flag at home? Year-round or only on holidays? Do you bring it in at night?

The brave voters of Iraq defied the terrorists and proved the doom-mongers wrong
AS IRAQIS voted in their first truly free election, they may have noticed a slogan on some walls in Baghdad and parts of the Sunni Triangle: Min al-sanduq il-al-sanduq. Its literal translation is "from the box into the box". But the message is starker: "From the ballot box to the coffin."
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian leader of the jihadists in Iraq, issued a statement before polling day threatening: "We shall kill anyone associated with elections: candidates, monitors, and voters." The tone of those who opposed yesterday's election was set by Yussuf al-Ayyeri, the al-Qaeda theoretician, who in a book

classic pesto is basil, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic and grated parmesan cheese. it doesn't contain mayo of any sort.
Fresh Basil Pesto Recipe | Simply Recipes
i've stopped adding garlic to it because the raw taste is simply too harsh for me and usually use either almonds or pistachios for the nuts. some grated lemon zest is super nice in there too.

For all but two minutes of Saturday's game, the Syracuse Orange held Cornell's plethora of outside shooters in check.
Syracuse stymied Cornell's 3-point attack and romped to a 79-64 victory over the Big Red in front of 19,253 fans at the Carrier Dome.
Cornell entered the game ranked seventh in the country in 3-point shooting. Through its first seven games, the Big Red had made 44.2 percent of its 3-point attempts.
But the Big Red made just 10 out of 26 attempts from 3-point range against Syracuse, which deployed both man-to-man and zone defenses. The Big Red hit four consecutive 3-pointers in a two-minute span late in the game that bolstered its shooting numbers. Minus that brief snippet, Cornell went 6-for-22 from 3-point range; not nearly good enough to challenge the home-standing Orange.
Jonny Flynn led Syracuse with 21 points, while sophomore center Arinze Onuaku added 18. Donte Greene had a quiet double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Kristof Ongenaet recorded season-highs for both points (nine) and rebounds (10).
Cornell sophomore Louis Dale led the Big Red with 15 points. Ryan Wittman, who came into Saturday's game averaging 15.4 points per game, managed just six points on 2-for-14 shooting.
Syracuse improved to 9-3 with the victory. The Orange has a week off before its next game, which is at 1 p.m. on Dec. 30 against Northeastern.
Syracuse beat Cornell for the 30th consecutive time. The last Cornell victory in the series was an 88-70 win over the Orange in 1967-68.
The loss dropped Cornell to 4-4 for the season. The Big Red plays Stony Brook on Dec. 29 and then, after a game against Quinnipiac, will face Duke on Jan. 6.
Saturday's game was Syracuse's second since Eric Devendorf's season-ending knee injury last weekend against East Tennessee State. The junior guard had been averaging 17.0 points per game.
For the second time, freshman Scoop Jardine started in place of Devendorf. Syracuse's starting lineup consisted of three freshmen and two sophomores.
Syracuse currently has just eight healthy scholarship players and only one - sophomore Paul Harris - played for Syracuse last season.
Syracuse seemed about ready to blow out Cornell, but the Big Red went on a 12-2 run with about five minutes left in the game to cut Syracuse's margin down to 70-57. Cornell scored all 12 of its points in the run on 3-pointers.
In opening up a 49-30 halftime lead, Syracuse held Cornell to just five 3-pointers on 15 attempts in the first half. The Orange took control of the game in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Syracuse led 30-18 with just under nine minutes remaining in the half, but an 8-0 run increased the margin to 40-20.

Robin Balder-Lanoue has made the decision to come to St. Ben's on more than one occasion — once as a student, and once as a coach.
But both decisions were made for the same reason.
Balder-Lanoue entered her first season with CSB Track and Field as an athlete in the spring of 1988. That year was the first in which CSB had introduced track onto its athletic agenda.
The prospect of playing for a brand new program was one that intrigued Balder-Lanoue.
"The other schools I was considering already had established women's programs," she said, "but I loved the community aspect that St. Ben's could offer, and I wanted to be a part of growing the program here."
The CSB track and field program had just 13 athletes during its inaugural year in 1988. This season, Balder-Lanoue's 14th as the team's head coach, the Blazers have 72 women on their roster.
Balder-Lanoue initially taught high school mathematics after graduating from St. Ben's in 1991, but eight years later, a full-time head coaching position became available to her at St. Ben's, and she pounced on it.
Until she was hired, the Blazers hadn't quite found stability at the head coaching ranks, which made things difficult concerning the team's ability to expand and recruit.
"You can't grow a program when you have coaches turning over every three years," she said. "We needed someone that was going to committ to being here for at least a decade, and that was my goal."
"So it's ironic," she added. "I chose St. Ben's as a student so that I could grow a program, and I came back to St. Ben's for the exact same reason."
Balder Lanoue hopes to run in her 18th marathon this fall.

Domino's Pizza on Monday introduced its first new menu item since launching the pan pizza in 2012.
The Ann Arbor Township-based company added "Specialty Chicken" to its menu —
boneless white meat chicken layered with toppings, sauces and cheeses.
The dish is available in four flavors: Crispy Bacon & Tomato, Spicy Jalapeno-Pineapple, Classic Hot Buffalo and Sweet BBQ Bacon.
"We are proud to be known as a pizza company, but Specialty Chicken shows we are not afraid to step out of our comfort zone and take risks – something that is truly part of our brand fabric," said Domino's Pizza's Chief Marketing Officer Russell Weiner in a statement.
"Not every risk we have taken has turned out to be successful, but as a brand we have learned that sometimes you have to fail in order to be great."
In a national television campaign that launches April 21, Domino's employees joke about botched ideas, like the Cookie Pizza.
"You cannot be afraid to fail," Scott Hinshaw, Domino's Pizza's executive vice president of operations, says in the advertisement.
Specialty Chicken is available as part of Domino's Pizza's $5.99 mix and match deal.
The addition of the chicken dish comes a year and a half after Domino's last product launch, the handmade pan pizza in September 2012. In recent years, the company has drastically altered its menu offerings, including redesigning the core pizza recipe, adding artisan pizzas and redeveloping the cheesy bread.
The redesigned pizza and an aggressive marketing campaign was credited with driving big sales increases for Domino's.
The company reported a net income of $143 million in 2013, up 27 percent over 2012. Domino's has more than 10,800 stores in more than 70 international markets.
The pizza delivery chain is one of Washtenaw County's top employers, with a staff of about 550 people at its headquarters in the Domino's Farms Office Park
