AUBURN, Alabama -- By now, Auburn is back on the practice field, correcting the mistakes made in Saturday's win over Ole Miss and effectively turning the page as the Tigers head into game week against Western Carolina.
Before Auburn coordinators Ellis Johnson and Rhett Lashlee meet with the media following practice, here's four takeaways from the Tigers' upset over the Rebels.
1. Auburn's offensive line is somewhat quietly turning in a remarkable turnaround.
Throughout training camp, Auburn's coaching staff kept saying that an offensive line that has no seniors could be a strength of the team, but the big guys up front have largely flown under the radar with so many new faces and storylines through the first five games. What has been missed is that the offensive line seems to have taken a giant leap forward with another year under their belts and J.B. Grimes at the helm. A year ago, Auburn averaged just 2.6 yards per carry and 86 rushing yards per game in SEC play, and the Tigers gave up 37 sacks.
But a unit led by a vocal, demanding Reese Dismukes at center has turned things around. Auburn has put up back-to-back 200-yard performances against SEC opponents, ranks second in the league in rushing and has allowed just four sacks, tied for 9th in the country. A year of experience always helps, but the group -- with Greg Robinson at left tackle, Alex Kozan at left guard, Chad Slade at right guard and Patrick Miller at right tackle -- has largely lived up to the coaching staff's expectations, turning in an impressive performance to this point.
2. Beyond the obvious plays in the pass rush, Auburn's defensive ends had a big night slowing down Ole Miss's zone read.
Ole Miss has been a dangerous read-option team this season, forcing teams to make a decision between defending Jeff Scott on the perimeter and handling either Bo Wallace or Barry Brunetti up the middle. What makes the Ole Miss read-option that Auburn faced several times last night a little different is that it flips the roles for quarterback and running back; Scott is usually headed for the outside, and when the quarterback keeps, he's looking to run up the middle, the inverse of the "traditional" read-option.
Auburn largely shut down Ole Miss's read-option -- the Rebels' best play through the first three games -- by relying on the athleticism of its defensive ends. On the read-option, the quarterback is reading the unblocked defensive end and making his decision based on who the end takes. In Auburn's game plan, the defensive end was supposed to close off Scott to the outside early, forcing the quarterback to keep. Against some teams -- Mississippi State, in particular -- that could have been a problem, given Auburn's troubles against the quarterback run, but the Tigers' defensive ends played it well, adding another dimension to the defense by not simply taking away Scott on the perimeter. Both Ladarius Owens and Carl Lawson, sharing snaps on the right side, turned in plays where they took away Scott, then had the athleticism to crash down on the quarterback and make the play for a minimal gain, limiting the Rebels' ability to run the football. Owens and Lawson combined for 11 tackles Friday night. Other than Scott's 52-yard gain on a busted fourth down pitch to the weak side -- and taking away Auburn's six sacks -- the Tigers allowed only 3.4 yards per carry on 33 rushing plays.
3. Auburn's cornerbacks struggled at times in man-to-man coverage against Ole Miss's deep corps of wide receivers in the second half.
For the most part, Auburn's cornerbacks have been at their best in man-to-man coverage this season, sticking close in most situations and at times making up for struggles in the pass rush. Against an Ole Miss receiving corps that runs four and sometimes five receivers deep, though, the Tigers' corners needed the pass rush to make Bo Wallace uncomfortable in the pocket, because the Rebels' receivers, particularly Donte Moncrief and Ja-Mes Logan, won their fair share of 1-on-1 matchups. On several plays in the second half, an Ole Miss receiver came free, but the defensive line forced Wallace into an errant throw or a poor read.
Moncrief, obviously, made the biggest impact, making two impressive plays on deep balls in the air and racking up 122 yards on six catches, but Logan was also tough, regularly getting a step and making a play on the ball in the air. Despite 48 attempts from Wallace, Auburn's defense had just three pass breakups, and only one came from a cornerback.
4. Tre Mason might be Auburn's best option in short-yardage situations.
Mason has taken on the role of Auburn's lead running back the past two games, logging a heavy workload against LSU and Ole Miss. Over the past two games, Mason has 47 carries, 209 yards and three touchdowns, and he's been given the ball on almost any kind of carry imaginable.
Against Ole Miss, Mason also got the bulk of Auburn's short-yardage carries, something of a shift from the first four games when the Tigers used Cameron Artis-Payne in the Wildcat, other Wildcat options including Kiehl Frazier and Artis-Payne again in a short-yardage game that was a little uneven in its execution. Mason plowed in for a 1-yard touchdown run early in the game, but he also got three third-down carries on 3rd-and-2 or less, powering his way for the first down on each play, although he was stopped for no gain on a 3rd-and-3 in the fourth quarter. Mason has proven this season that he's a tough 205 pounds or so; in short-yardage situations, his decisiveness and willingness to attack the hole without hesitating pay dividends, allowing him to slam forward for more yards.

The pilot phase of a group learning approach to treating hysterical Personality disorder in the hospital is described. Five young women, admitted for suicidal intent, were charged with specifying each other's hysterical behaviors and providing the rewards and penalties requisite to behavioral change. The evocation of pathological behaviors, along with the systematic approach to modifying them, was greatly facilitated by requiring that each Patient adhere to a tight daily schedule. Included in the schedule were a broad range of therapeutic exercises designed to promote effective selfassertion. Four of the five patients showed symptomatic improvement and enhanced behavioral repertoires at discharge and during the 18month follow-up period. The typical power struggles inherent in treating hysterics in the hospital were largely averted.

Andrew Clark, BPI's CEO, has at the helm of BPI successfully whacked billions off BPI's market cap. Did he do so just so he can live in La Jolla, CA (a well-heeled suburb of San Diego) instead of somewhere in "Ashford country" like Iowa or Colorado?!? What other reason would there possibly be for subjecting the company to the WASC (west coast regional accreditation agency) nightmare when it would be FAR EASIER to achieve the HLC's (midwest/rocky mtn regional accreditation agency) "geographic presence" requirement. BPI is sitting on an absolute MOUNTAIN of cash. Spend some of it and get thee to Iowa. Or Denver. Or Englewood (a well-heeled suburb of Denver) or anywhere in HLC's region. Just imagine what a mansion each of the senior execs at BPI could afford in a place like Las Vegas. Why oh why would anyone want to live in red-tape and tax-happy Cal-i-for-n-i-ay anyway?!? Side Note: I rate BPI as a BUY because it seems even these swell La Joll-ian symphony and country club folk should be able to figure out a way to use their mountain of cash to fix the accreditation mess they have created, whether that is by hiring enough august and well-respected folk like Dr. Richard Pattenaude (newly hired President of Ashford University) and/or hiring some full time faculty and locating them in HLC territory if WASC continues to take a hard line against for profit and on-line centric schools.

I first became aware of IZZE when I was eating at Noodles. I love everything grapefruit, anything sour, so I picked it up out of the refrigerated case and became a fan right then and there. It is a little treat all on it's own. They have it in bottle form, which I love. There is something so perfect about a beverage in a bottle, like Thomas Kemper too.
It is my new "fizzy lifting drink", and it's now available in stores, hooray. I just bought a 4-pack and guzzled them all down. I noticed on my last sip the writing on the can. IZZE is naturally sweet and I didn't even know. "No refined sugar, no caffeine, no artificial anything, ever. It's just natural fruit juice with a splash of sparkling water." How great. I would have downed it with all that yucky added sugar in it, but I don't have to because it is perfectly good for me. What are your favorite "fizzy lifting drinks"?

Your Review:
I read about "The Age of Miracles" on NPR and it was described as a Science Fiction Novel. I'm usually not one to choose Science Fiction when given the choice, but I heard that the author did a tremendous amount of research about what might actually happen if the earth's rotation began to slow down. I think she did a great job balancing the sci-fi with the relationships and story line. I would recommend it to anyone - I think it appeals to a wide audience which is why it is getting such rave reviews.

The Miami-Dade County Emergency Operations Center has been activated and is closely monitoring Erika. For any updates about County facilities and services, please visit: http://www.miamidade.gov/emergency
FY 2014-15 Proposed Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan
I am pleased to submit to you the FY 2014-15 Proposed Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan. We continue to make progress, both as a community and as a government, toward a future that promises economic potential, fiscal sustainability, and wide-ranging opportunities for development. This is the first Proposed Budget in a decade that does not utilize one-time revenues to support operations and is the basis for a balanced five-year forecast.
When I was elected Mayor, you tasked me with transforming the way our government serves the public. This Proposed Budget is one more step along that path, focusing on our core missions of public safety, services for our youth and the elderly, and street level services that touch and improve people's lives. I have heard residents call for us to stretch every public dollar. In response, this Budget continues to hold the line on maintaining the current total regional property tax rate, with marginal adjustments to individual rates in order to support a reduced Library budget, but keeping the overall rate flat.
- Read the full Mayor's Message and review Volume 1 of the proposed budget.
- Visit Volume 2 and Volume 3 for the department budget narratives by strategic area.

The sixth annual Mother Earth Water Walk began Saturday in Manistee and continues through May 12, when the walkers are expected to arrive in Hannaville, near Escanaba. A dozen walkers arrived here Sunday evening and spent the night at Love Fellowship Baptist Church, 1404 Eighth.
"The important thing we want to tell people is that our water is not for sale, it's for us to use respectfully," said Josephine Mandamin, an Ojibway Indian from Ontario who co-founded the walk. "It is important to keep our waters clean to ensure the everlasting use for our grandchildren and their grandchildren."
The walk, which involves carrying a pail of water around Lake Michigan, will cover 583 miles and cross parts of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. For Mandamin and another American Indian grandmother who started the Mother Earth Water Walk in 2003, this year's trek will complete a roughly 6,000-mile walk around all five Great Lakes.
Mandamin and a few other American Indians walked around Lake Superior in 2003. They followed that with walks around the northern portion of Lake Michigan in 2004, Lake Huron in 2005, Lake Ontario in 2006 and Lake Erie last year.
Mandamin said the walk was inspired by an Anishnabe tribal chief who prophesied in the 1970s that water would be as valuable as gold by the early 21st century unless steps were taken to protect water quality and quantity. She said the journey is a symbolic attempt to call attention to the threats facing the Great Lakes and other fresh waters.
"People think water is going to be here everlasting -- they don't realize the lakes are going down," she said. "There is a lot of apathy; the majority of people really don't care about water or know what's going on."
Water levels in lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior have been dropping steadily since 1998. Lakes Michigan and Huron have dropped nearly four feet since 1998 and are currently about 21 inches below their long term averages. Lake Superior dipped to a record low last year before rebounding slightly this winter; it remains 11 inches below the long-term average.
Water levels in lakes Erie and Ontario were eight inches above average in March, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The design is very attractive and fun. But the quality lacks a bit. All of the strings buzz once in a while but it's something that can get fixed. If you want to jump right into strumming without complications, I'd advice getting another because this uke will take time to adjust. Overall, I've grown to love it!

MOBILE, Alabama – Harsh words have been hurled from Down Under in the wake of Alicia Gray's apology video, filmed the day the former Mary G. Montgomery math teacher was convicted on sex-abuse charges.
Gray pleaded guilty Jan. 10 to having illegal sexual contact with a 14-year-old former student and surrendered her teaching certificate.
Lyall Mercer, principal of Brisbane-based Mercer PR, issued an unsolicited statement to AL.com calling Gray's video "bizarre, offensive and insensitive."
Mercer bills himself as an international public relations and reputation management strategist who consults with churches and said the video – produced by Deeper Life Fellowship in Mobile – focused on the wrong person.
"It was all wrong from start to finish. The pastor's introduction ignored the victim, referencing him only as 'the young man involved in the relationship'. There was no relationship; it was a sexual crime against a minor. There was a victim," Mercer said.
The majority of AL.com readers who responded to a recent online poll about Gray's sincerity in the video found her believable, but Mercer isn't buying it.
"What is most astounding about this video is that the church believes they are preaching the gospel when in fact they are sending the message that if a crime is committed by one of their own, they care more about the criminal than the victim," he said.
Mercer did acknowledge Gray does apologize in portions of the video, but he criticized her for shifting focus from the victim by making excuses for her actions.
"This moment shouldn't be about Alicia Gray. It's not about 'preaching the gospel'. It's about a terrible crime and a child who is suffering," Mercer said.
Mercer, himself, is no stranger to high-profile controversy, however.
In July 2012, Queensland's The Courier-Mail reported on a firestorm created when Mercer negotiated an interview with Shiv Sica, whose husband was convicted of murdering three children in 2003. The interview with "A Current Affair" reportedly carried a $50,000 fee paid directly to Mercer, though the strategist denied the figure was so high, and was conducted less than one month after the sentencing.
Victims advocates suspicious the family of the convicted murderer was somehow profiting from his crimes skewered Mercer's actions in shopping the story.

Natural blog cycle
I'd love to say that I meant to pause blogging, but I did not plan it that way. Now I think it's maybe just the natural cycle of things. Maybe I should plan for blog obsolescence every 18 months or so, and move somewhere else, somewhere new; before my passion for writing begins to feel routine.
I've done my best to stay visible by consistently sharing stuff I feel is of value to others on Twitter, on Facebook and in face to face conversations.
I still should've let you know earlier… but I'm now blogging over here.

For safety's sake, secure pets in the car
It is alarming that some New Jersey legislators and editorial writers can snicker, snarl, ridicule and even make light of a much-needed law (editorial, "Restraining cats and dogs," Aug. 20) that will protect motorists and passengers.
Assemblyman Jay Webber (R-Whippany) and other detractors will be singing a different tune when a deadly head-on car crash occurs due to a driver being distracted by a free-roaming pet in his or her car. Is this distraction any less dangerous than talking or texting while driving?
Yes, Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) does have "bigger fish to fry" ("The fight over Fido's right to ride shotgun," Aug. 16) than merely pet safety: ensuring the safety of motorists, passengers and pedestrians while using our roadways.
Assemblywoman Grace Spencer's (D-Newark) bill to harness pets while driving has much merit. Her initial bill can be transformed to help protect both pets and people — especially children — from a fatal car accident. Drivers would still face fines from $250 to $1,000 for driving with an unsecured pet in a vehicle. However, the penalty would be elevated to "animal cruelty" only if the driver is in an accident and the pet requires veterinary treatment or dies.
It should be no surprise that the idea for Assemblywoman Spencer's bill was inspired by fourth-graders. They are the poor, defenseless souls buckled into the back seat and hoping a 50- or 100-pound animal doesn't come flying at them like a wrecking ball when their vehicle comes to an abrupt stop!
-- Doug Donato,
A selfish outlook
Oh, yes, the GOP economic philosophy — better known as "I got mine, so you get yours." Let's drag out the same old tired stories of the guy with money taking it on the chin for those lazy, Democratic socialists (guest op-ed by Michael Busler, "Understanding the GOP economic philosophy," Aug. 28). I knew we middle-class people were in trouble when rich folk became the job providers.
It's too bad dishwashers, bus drivers, trash collectors, laborers, the rank and file in the military, office workers, farm laborers, assembly line workers, cops, firefighters, nurses, etc. will never reach the top. Never will they be millionaire "job providers."
Some of the best years this country ever had were before President Reagan cut the top tax rate almost in half, and still the rich were rich.
Come on, Mr. Busler, we all know the GOP supports the rich and only the rich, and the Democrats are for everybody left behind by its philosophies.

In troubling times, your town needs you most
I commend The Times for printing letters from young people. I am sorry the young writer from Hamilton Township is disillusioned with the way things are going ("Young people won't approach Hamilton's deep divide," Aug. 30).
We are at a point in this election year when it is important to be as vocal about the choices we have on the upcoming ballot as we can be; it's too late and unrealistic to plan to move away.
In the next eight weeks, even though polls show that only one in four voters has not made up his or her mind about the presidential choice, we will be bombarded with photo ops, image control and partisan spin for each candidate that twists truth, stretches fact and provides empty promises. It may make us all want to duck and cover to avoid the assault.
Do these dramatic images sway the undecided? Probably not. The message is that the decided voter must cast his ballot, or unscrupulous people will reign and terrible things will happen.
The positive step is not to back off from the idea that there is a lack of character in our governments, but to show your concern for the things that will promote change. It is time for all of us to be speak out and vote for the people with integrity whom we think will make a difference and create programs that renew pride in our towns, our state and our nation.
Please make noise. Write letters. Sign petitions. Organize your friends to vote.
Use your energy to make your hometown the place you want it to be.
-- Liz Pasko,
Voters, think ahead
The overall messages of the conventions of the two major political parties offer voters two vastly different visions for America.
One party offers a nightmare for the nation and the other a bright future for it. The onus for us voters is to cut through all the hype, anger, fist-shaking, accusations, gutter tactics, deceit, class warfare, race-baiting and downright lies and decide which vision to choose in November.
We must keep in mind that our decision will determine whether our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will suffer under a nightmare or thrive in a bright future. We have to decide for ourselves, each in the privacy of our homes and in the depths of our hearts, if we want to be part of the nightmare or part of a bright future.
-- Jimmie L. Hollis,
Later Sunday closing for S. Brunswick liquor stores
South Brunswick liquor stores must close at 5 p.m. on Sunday, while neighboring communities allow their liquor stores to remain open until 10 p.m. The South Brunswick business owners are losing a tremendous amount of business, not to mention the inconvenience to local customers. The South Brunswick Township Council deferred the matter to the police chief, who wisely conducted a survey of the neighboring communities to determine if the extended hours resulted in an increase in alcohol-related problems in their communities. There was no indication that the extended hours caused any problems.
Now council has agreed to allow the liquor stores in our town to remain open until 7 p.m. That decision makes no sense and shows a lack of business acumen, since the stores will still lose revenue that is going to neighboring towns. Fewer sales means less revenue, which could mean the difference between profit and loss for our local business owners.
We need to help our business owners prosper. We need to allow our business owners to compete on an equal footing with their competition in neighboring communities. The more successful they are, the more successful our community will be. The South Brunswick liquor stores should be allowed to stay open on Sunday until 10 p.m. It's just common sense.

Back to school, packed with love
I'd like to publicly recognize the overwhelming generosity of employees at the state Department of Human Services. During the last week of August, they donated nearly 100 filled backpacks to two community agencies that serve families with school-age children in the Trenton area.
HomeFront and the Never Give Up Foundation sent the first names, sizes and grades of each child so that the backpacks could be packed with one complete outfit, shoes, socks, underwear and school supplies. In fact, many of the backpacks had plastic bags attached with items that wouldn't fit in the overstuffed backpacks. It was a wonderful display of outreach and generosity.
I know many other community and faith-based organizations in Mercer County and throughout the state held similar events. Many thanks to them for working diligently with dedicated staff and volunteers to provide support to families in need.

Investing: Fundamental Analysis vs. Technical Analysis
|Email Print
If you are interested in investing, you know that it's important to find a way of evaluating your potential investments so that you are able to choose what is most likely to provide you with the best chance of a reasonable return.
But how can you determine which investments are likely to provide you with the highest potential performance? There are two main types of analysis that you can use as you evaluate investments: fundamental and technical.
Fundamental Analysis
The first type of analysis deals with the "big picture" items that rely on the basics of an investment. Fundamental analysis relies at looking at underlying factors that can help you create a picture of the investment's potential staying power. Fundamental analysis is especially effective if you are looking for value investments likely to weather economic cycles and result in long-term success.
Some of the factors considered in fundamental analysis include:
- Price-to-earnings ratio
- Price-to-book ratio
- Profit margins
- Balance sheet information
- Potential for growth
- Comparisons to the performances of similar assets
- Management competency
- The political situation in the country
- Economic conditions
When looking at an investment on a fundamental level, it's about looking at how strong the asset is now, and how strong it is likely to be in the future.
This doesn't mean that an asset will always perform well. In some cases, an investment will drop due to market conditions. If a stock is falling along with the rest of the market, it doesn't mean that the investment is a loser. Take a look at the fundamentals. If the fundamentals are strong, there is a good chance that the stock will recover from the current market turmoil, and that it will perform well in the future. All investments experience setbacks. When you use fundamental analysis to choose assets with likely staying power, though, you don't have to worry about timing the market, since your portfolio is likely to recover.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a little bit different. Instead of looking at the characteristics of a particular investment, technical analysis is concerned mainly with the price action.
Every investment has a price history. With technical analysis, it's all about the numbers, and looking for patterns in the performance. Those who subscribe to technical analysis insist that it's possible to use the performance of an investment to make predictions about what is likely to happen next. Patterns in how prices behave, whether you are looking at stocks, commodities, or currencies, are used to make decisions.
When using technical analysis, you need to understand what different patterns indicate. You look at charts that display price performance, and then decide when the best time to enter a trade is (usually when it's near a bottom and poised to head higher) and when you should exit a trade (often when the pattern indicates that a drop is imminent).
Technical analysis is often used by day traders, options traders, and currency traders. Technical analysis is popular amongst those who are making short-term trading options, and trying to make money quickly. It can be a little more difficult to get the hang of using technical analysis to good effect than it is to become adept at understanding what fundamentals make a good long-term investment.
What do you think? Do you prefer fundamental analysis or technical analysis?

It's Official: Drop-Side Baby Cribs Have Been OutlawedMadeline Holler
An icon of babyhood has been kicked to the curb. Drop-side baby cribs, which have brought 30 babies to their death in the last decade, were outlawed yesterday.
By a unanimous vote, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the manufacture, sale and resale of cribs that have a movable side.
This is good news for expectant parents — they can make plans to get an approved crib. But the ban leaves parents on their last months of crib-use needing to decide what's best to do.
The Los Angeles Times explains that the drop-side was a feature that allowed parents to more easily reach infants and young children sleeping in the cribs, which had mattresses low enough to keep them from rolling and, eventually, climbing out.
But over the past decade, dozens of infants and toddlers have become trapped when the drop side separated from the rest of the crib and millions have been recalled in the last few years.
Now that the drop side has been outlawed, all cribs must now have fixed sides — a requirement that will go into place in June 2011. Hotels and childcare centers are also prohibited from using drop-side cribs, though the CPSC is giving them a year to replace their gear.
The agency is also requiring better testing of newly cribs requiring product safety inspectors to apply force to the bottoms and sides of cribs that mimic older babies and toddlers in the cribs.
Some 9 million cribs have been recalled over the last 10 years after more and more deaths were reported due to detaching parts in the drop side, which allowed a V-shaped opening for a child's neck to slip into.
We own a hand-me-down drop-side crib, which my now 2-year-0ld (and very last) child is still sleeping in. Indeed, it's on the slightly rickety side and the plan had always been to toss it in the trash once he moved into a bed. Last night, after reading about the ban, we went in and reinforced with duct tape the top and bottom corners at every point where one side met another (including the non-drop-side). It's a step that we're comfortable with. Like a lot of people, we aren't going to buy a new crib just to use for a few months and this seemed the best strategy for us and the safety of our son.
Do you have a drop-side? What will you do in light of this latest safety measure?

'So Bobby Kennedy said to me…"Go f***k yourself".'
Hugh Linehan
I had the pleasure of meeting George Lois, one of the all-time greats of the US ad and magazine worlds (his Esquire magazine covers from the 1960s now hang in the Museum of Modern Art in New York). Here's an example of his inimitable conversational style.
I met George at last weekend's rather excellent Offset 2010 event in Dublin's Grand Canal Theatre, a celebration of creative design and designers which was both though-provoking and fun. I was on a panel with "the man who's going to save Conde Nast", Scott Dadich, who launched that company's Wired iPad app before going on to take responsibility for its overall digital design strategy. Also speaking were publisher Adrian Shaughnessy and art editor and critic Steven Heller.
The subject under discussion was 'The Future of Publishing' and we managed to sort the whole thing out in 90 minutes… Well, not quite. But, as happens whenever I meet people involved in publishing and content creation these days, the striking thing is how we're all facing exactly the same challenges, asking the same questions and (sometimes) fumbling towards the same tentative, open-ended answers in trying to figure out where the new digital world is bringing us.
While Offset's primary focus is on graphic design, by its nature it veers into related fields including newspaper and book publishing, the music industry, writing film-making, animation and gallery-based art. In Ireland at the moment there are various print and online publications for consideration of such subjects, but too often they seem confined to their respective silos. And, inevitably, mainstream media only occasionally dips in and out of these subjects. It would be great to see a platform that allowed ongoing critical debate around culture in the broadest sense of the word emerge in this country. Anyone interested? Or should The Irish Times itself be doing more?

Cafe a Brasileira: Cafe a Brasileira - famous cafe
Cafe a Brasileira is reputably Lisbon's most famous cafe. It opened in 1905 and was known for the intellectuals who used to stop by on a daily basis.
The interior still has its fabulous art nouveau decor for locals and tourists alike to enjoy. There is also a terrace at the front making the perfect spot for some people watching when the weather is fine.
Understandably busy, the staff were nevertheless smiling and friendly and we enjoyed the experience.
Favorite Dish: Due to our busy schedule, we didn't have the time to relax on the terrace, deciding to just have a coffee at the counter.
So, of course we had a bica and you can guess what I ate....yep, a custard tart....well, when you're on a good thing! And I must say it was the tastiest one I ate in Lisbon.

Café a Brasileira: Antoher historical café
Located in the heart of the "Chiado" quarter, this is another of those historical places that has become more of a tourist attraction that anything else.
However, it is a nice Café and you should take a look at it if you happen to be in the area (but don't waste time looking for it though).
Prices are higher that in most other cafés, but should you happen to find a free table outside, it is nice to sit and watch people go by.
Famous poet Fernando pessoa was a regular here and there is even a statue dedicated to him outside the café.
Café a Brasileira: an always happenin' hotspot
No matter what time of day you pass by A Brasileira, the infamous coffee shop is always packed. As one of Lisbon's oldest cafes, it gained recognition as a favorite hang out for the famous yet crazy poet Fernando Pessoa. Known as a man who drank copious amounts of absinthe, he spent countless hours drinking the hallucinogenic alcohol here to produce creative flows from his mind. Thus, in his dedication there is a bronze statue of him sitting outside the cafe.
The outdoor seating is almost always full, merely because it is the perfect place to people watch. Centrally located in Chiado, right at the top of the Metro stop Baixa-Chiado, this tends to be a popular meeting point for friends going out at night to Bairro Alto. Drop inside, stand at the bar, have a bica (short, black coffee, almost espresso-like) and a pastry. Or, sip on some sherry while chatting to the waiters in pretentious-looking attire.
Although this is a great meeting place and attains an ever-bustling atmosphere (seeing as it is open 8 AM to 2 AM), prices here are a bit steep. I shouldn't say a bit, I should say very! Head to the coffee shop next door for cheaper deals. Somehow I don't care to pay 4 times as much for a bica than I would pay elsewhere. Plus, when it is crowded, service is rather poor.
Address: 120-122 Rua Garrett
Directions: Chiado
from Baixa-Chiado metro station, follow exit towards Rua Garrett. Go up many escalators and the cafe will be directly behind you as you enter the square. Look for the distinctive Fernando Pessoa statue as a landmark.

Café a Brasileira: Take a coffe in th best company of Fernando Pessoa
For those who dont know Fernando Pessoa is one of the best Portuguese Poets, and he is my favourite of all. I have made a couple of works about him because that man goes above all interpretacions. So at first I would advice who doesnt knows him to buy a book of him. He wrotte historical poems, banal poems, he wrotte with many names, with many souls, with many everything :) There are some books of him translated in English and French and perhaps some other languages, take ur time :)
So now about the coffee. Brasileira is a coffe in center of city (leave in chiado metro stacion) the cakes there are ok so is the coffe. The chairs arent very confortable because they kept the Design and stylle from the time of Fernando Pessoa, he used to go there to writte.
This is a coffe i personally like and go often once is so close to my university but its not very cheap in the splanade.
Anyways.. I would advice you to drop by, sit in the spanade and apreciate the good company and view.
Directions: Chiado
Café a Brasileira: Charm of bygone days and good custard tarts
Like most European cities, Lisbon has an old cafe that was the haunt of the literary and artistic set of the 1920's and 30's. The Cafe a Brasileira has a charming ambience of that period and is particularly noted for its "pastel de nata," a delicious custard tart. (Almost as good as the ones at Belem's Pasteis de Belem, but not quite). There is even a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa in front of the cafe so you always have intelligent company. His poetry is said to have been partially fueled by large amounts of absinthe, and here is a sample:
The poet is a pretender
Who's so good at his act
He even pretends to be pain
The pain he feels in fact
Favorite Dish: We enjoyed a light lunch of simple grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches and of course did have to finish with a pastel de nata and a bica (good strong Portuguese coffee). There is a terrace outside, but you should really go inside just to take in the paneled and mirrored bar and cafe.
Casa Brasileira
One of the many tempting bakeries in Lisbon is right in the Rua Augusta. Amongst all their other tempting cakes and pastries are the famous Portuguese custard tarts or Pastéis de Nata. This sweet little tart was though to have been created by the Catholic Sisters from Jeronimo's Monastery prior to the 18th century. They are usually warm and sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar.

Café a Brasileira: Café a Brasileira
One of the most popular cafes in Lisbon and always packed with people! If you're lucky enough to find a table you can enjoy in bica (portuguese short&strong coffee) and maybe some pastries too!
Outside you can find the statue of Fernando Pessoa, one of the most famous portuguese poets, sitting at the table! :)
Address: Rua Garett 120
Directions: You can walk Rua Garett in Chiado the way up to Bairro Alto, or by metro: station Baixa/Chiado.
Café a Brasileira: Feel aristocratic athmosphere at Café a Brasileira
When strolling around Chiado in the Rua Garrett you won't miss Café a Brasileira.
Before you sit down at their outdoor area and experience the Chiado panache combined with an excellent bica (black coffee), take a look inside of the coffeehouse: You'll be fancied by the aristocratic, grandiose interior design of the 1905 founded café.
Favorite Dish: Um bica (one small black coffee)
Address: Rua Garett 120
Directions: Just walk Rua Garett in Chiado the way up to Bairro Alto; there is also the metro station Baixa/Chiado (green and blue line) nearby.
Café a Brasileira: A Brasileira
Café "A Brasileira" is a very old portuguese café. It was the choice of portuguese famous personalities like Fernando Pessoa and Eça de Queiroz.
Outside the café you'll find a metal statue of Fernando Pessoa (poet and writer) in a café's table.

Cafe A Brasileira: Artistic, elegant, historic and chic
Poets and artists have been coming here for years and the statue that sits out front is a testament to this link to the artistic community. The statue is of Fernando Pessoa, a poet who was a frequent visitor of Brasileira in his day. I stopped in here a couple times for uma bica (a small, strong coffee like an espresso) and a couple different kinds of pastries. It's tough to get a table in this popular and crowded place, so just do like the locals do and stand at the bar.
Address: Rua Garret 120
Directions: Right next to the Baixa-Chiado Metro entrance.
Phone: 21 346 9547
Café a Brasileira: A Long Tadition Café
This is one of the oldest surviving coffeehouses in Lisbon. It has done virtually nothing to change the opulent but faded Art Nouveau decor that has prevailed since it became a fashionable rendezvous in 1905. Once a gathering place of Lisbon's literati, it was the favored social spot of the Portuguese poet Bocage.
Patrons sit at small tables on chairs made of tooled leather, amid mirrored walls and marble pilasters.

Café A Brasileira: A piece of culinary history
A Brasileira is one of the traditional coffee shops that line the Rua Garrett. I won't hide the fact that it is almost always filled with tourists, but as a Belle Époque café, it is one of the great sights of the city's heart and is worth a stop, just to be able to say you've had coffee here. The café was opened in 1905 and has been in operation since. The prices are not bad, especially if you have it at the counter, plus you get to have the Brazilian women working there size you up – that's half the fun. Another part of the fun is also the bronze Fernando Pessoa (a famous Portuguese poet) sitting at one of the tables, as every tourist always feels the need to have a picture taken with him.
Favorite Dish: The coffee here is, obviously, Brazilian and therefore excellent. The Pastéis de Nata are also tasty, although not the best of the city.
Address: Praça do Chiado
Directions: Across from the entrance to the metro

The sitting bronze statue is a frequent customer, poet Fernando Pessoa, who must have had such good service and decided to stay a little bit longer, lol!!

Café a Brasileira, presumably the oldest café in Lisbon. This is a very nice place to have a bica (a very small cup of coffee, bit like espresso) with a sweet Pastel de Natas or just anything else you might fancy. Take into account that because of the history this is also quite a touristy spot. This also has to do with the bronze statue of Fernando Pessoa in front of the café. Almost every tourist has a picture taken with him or her and the statue

An outstanding tv show on AMC where people smoke, drink, and pretty much cheat on the regular. It was created by Matthew Weiner. It's currently airing its second season, as the first season was a booming success as it received best television drama by the Golden Globe's. Jon Hamm (Don Draper) also won best actor from the GG's. This show depicts the life of men and women in the early 60's, and the show is based on groups that work for "Sterling Cooper", an advertisement agency. It shows the flaws in people and what they'll do to cover them up.

Apology accepted ! ;)
If would've read my comment no. 5 below you would realize I am not actually trying to bash PA. I use PA as my daily driver for tech news and there is no denying PA is the most informative of'em all !
However, that doesn't mean this site is perfect I only made my points to make this site a bit better, if at all it catches the eye of PA's authors. Infact, if you'd understood my comment you'll realize I was actually defending PA's authors. My point was, instead of copy/paste from other tech sites PA should also churn new articles themselves. Its quite obligatory if not mandatory for PA to post their own content especially them being such a global tech site.
With regards to my analogy, it was meant sarcastically for xperiaDROID and had nothing to do with anyone/anything.
Have a nice day ! :)

Agreed. No other site posts so much news as PA but hardly any material they post is theirs'. Every other website from time to time do their research & creative thinking and post something from their own head but sadly PA being such a pronounced website don't do that....smh
Even their reviews (especially video) are boring. No editing skills and choosing careful words nothing unique whatsoever.
PS - I dont wish to bash PA but they really need to lift their quality now as they are pretty well known !

Don't blame PA, some news are even first on PA and late on other sites. Yes, for some things they need to pull up their socks and do great.
BTW, Sammy smartly defended the argument.

There's your answer, it works at 533MHz in other apps too, 480MHz is to protect your phone, all that drama for nothing, suck it up.
32. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
And you believe them?
Anand found the list of applications allowed for 533MHz and all of them were Benchmarks, it's a white list, not a black list for games.

but i'm not suprised if you hate anandtech cuz samsung fanboy like you will never be able to accept the truth. and everybody knows that samsung mindless fanboys will always defend samsung no matter how much dirty move that samsung do.

Benchmarking IS performance boosting, rarely if ever there are situations - gaming including - when CPU and GPU is constantly hitting 100%. What Samsung does is allowing certain short burst apps to use a "turbo clock", but for heat, throttling and battery reasons they have a maximum policy for long-period high-demand stuff like games. It's for the better good.
Benchmarking never told the real-life story only MAXIMUM capabilities, and simply put, 533MHz on the PowerVR GPU is the maximum, so benchmark readings are REAL.
No drama folks, it's all about optimizations and it's better to have more consistent performance at a lower clock than constant slowdowns due to extra heat and throttling. Samsung is actually doing the customer a favor.
14. darkkjedii (Posts: 21368; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Samsung, IF you're guilty of this...shame on you. Samsung makes a great line of devices, no need to tamper. Think of all the butthurt Sammites that are in mom's basement crying rite now, as they run quadrant standards and geek bench with tears, sadness, and distrust.

"IF you're guilty...shame on you"
Guess this article was not enough. These devices do not have the same power luxuries or thermal headroom such as desktop computers or laptops. All Samsung is doing is intelligent monitoring/throttling to conserve power and limit heat in a portable device. Sure you can keep the GPU at 533mhz but the phone will always be hot and your battery will suffer. More customers are going to notice a hot device compared to a 3 frame per second drop in angry birds. If it really bothers people then you can clock the cpu/gpu until your hands cook with a different kernel.

Every company does this.
Theres a reason when you run custom roms the developers can boost benchmarks scores way above what they should be. There are other devs that get rid of the built in benchmark faking so people think the custom roms suck.

Anandtech probably were paid by Apple. Lol. Or maybe, they are iFans and bored with their iPhones as there is also no great news coming about Apple. Lol. Anyways, Great Job Samsung, You nailed it.

Anandtech is extremely biased against Samsung. It is pretty obvious that all the benchmarks they choose to champion are either gpu or browser based. Those are the only two categories Apple doesn't look bad. The iPhone with chrome has terrible benchmarks even but they just leave it out and only benchmark with safari vs. Slow as chrome on android. Which is kind of backwards especially when chrome is on both operating systems which would make for a more fair comparison.
28. R-vjn (Posts: 178; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Well, samsung always have scored high on benchmarks especially with thieir EXYNOS chips but failed to deliver in real world performance. They really know that most of the sites still compare the performance of phones based upon stupid benchmarks.
The Nexus 4, especially with the 4.3 is the smoothest android phone I've ever used but just check the benchmark and will see the difference between the scores and real world performance.
55. cheetah2k (Posts: 1579; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
Huh? I have both devices and IMO the Exynos version much smoother in real world performance - especially in the games department.
I'm guessing you've never even used the Exynos i9500...
And as for the Nexus 4 being the smoothest android phone you've ever used, its totaly clear you've not even touched the S4...

I'm just pointing out the truth my friend..and I've used the S4 with Exynos. Well, my youtube videos are the only way by which I could make you know that I've been using both, though Nexus 4 is my day-2-day driver.

I don't even know why Samsung responded...... The GPU runs at 533 on benchmarks, which are apps, that are available on the GOOGLE play store. I believe this is a first. Samsung had to apologize for accurately marketing that their GPU is rated at 533. If it runs some apps at 533 then it runs some apps at 533....what is there to defend.
53. Ninetysix (Posts: 2388; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)

LOL There is no such thing as a graphics card that runs every single game to the max each time. If you believe that then I don't know what to say.. ROFL
In fact, they are rarely taxed. not even Crysis maxes out everything.
The fact that some benchmark apps and the camera and calendar pushes the gpu to the 533 max is actually quite rare. usually the max is used less than that. Apple being the worse, under clocking the A5 in the iphone 4s to 800mhz and passing off that weak under clocked variant as the same power hungry much more powerful one in the ipad 2.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Tigers are going to be in first place on the Fourth of July, but will they reside atop the standings at season's end?
Let's look at the top five reasons why the Tigers have been in first place since May 10, but why they might not be come Oct. 4.
Reasons why Detroit could miss the playoffs:
1. Inconsistent offense wastes good pitching and defense
Miguel Cabrera is the only regular hitting over .275, and Magglio Ordonez, Placido Polanco, Gerald Laird and the slumping Marcus Thames have not produced close to expectations. Laird, though, is swinging a good bat of late.
2. Ordonez's struggles at the plate
Ordonez is worthy of being his own separate reason because Polanco and Laird contribute great defense and Thames has missed much of the season.
The 2007 league batting champion, who hit .317 last year, is batting just .260 and is on pace to hit six homers with 50 RBIs. His bat speed is in the slow lane, and he has hit .167 since returning June 23 from a four-game break to hopefully get recharged.
The Tigers have to seriously consider releasing him before his $18 million for next year becomes guaranteed by either plate appearances or starts criteria.
He hit .476 against the Twins last year, and the three-game series starting tonight in Minnesota would be a great time to pop out of a slump a la Big Papi.
3. Reversal of good fortune for closer Fernando Rodney
Rodney is perfect in 17 save situations, but lives on the edge so much he might as well be a cliff diver. He gets himself out of some terrible jams and deserves credit for what he has accomplished. But what happens when and if the odds begin catching up with Rodney?
A drop in the standings is what would happen.
4. Back-of-the-rotation instability
Armando Galarraga has been much better lately, but still has not displayed the consistency of last year. Will left-handed Luke French, making his first big league start tonight, be the answer at the No. 5 spot? Alfredo Figaro?
Do you have any confidence that Dontrelle Willis or Jeremy Bonderman will return from the disabled list this season and turn in quality starts?
5. Brandon Inge's health
The tendinitis in third baseman Inge's knees intensifies and causes him to lose considerable fielding range and or playing time.
Reasons why Detroit is in first place:
1. Inge, the team's MVP
Inge is on pace for 37 homers and 108 RBIs, which would surpass his previous best totals of 27 homers and 83 RBIs.
And, in a recent Sports Illustrated player poll, he was selected the fourth-best fielder in baseball.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland moving him back to third base and the hitting adjustments Inge made have been huge.
2. Front-end-of-the-rotation excellence
If Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski does not trade young outfielder Matt Joyce, now at Triple-A Durham, to the Tampa Bay Rays for Edwin Jackson, the Tigers would not be in first place. He is 6-4 and his 2.49 ERA is among the lowest in the league.
Justin Verlander regained his form under the tutelage of new pitching coach Rick Knapp, who has had a big impact on the entire staff. And rookie Rick Porcello, 20, has stepped up beyond even his high expectations to match Verlander with eight wins.
3. Significantly upgraded defense
Shortstop Adam Everett, the unsung hero of this club, has not only tightened up the infield defense but provided clutch hitting and a strong clubhouse presence.
Laird has done it all behind the plate, while first baseman Miguel Cabrera has become dazzling with the glove and remained a force offensively (.331, 16 homers, 47 RBIs). Center fielder Curtis Granderson has made big catches and is on pace for 37 homers and 89 RBIs.
4. Important bench contributions
Ryan Raburn, Josh Anderson, Don Kelly and even Clete Thomas, now at Toledo, helped pick up the slack left by left fielder Carlos Guillen's injury absence and Ordonez's slump. And utility infielder Ramon Santiago has provided big hits and solid defense up the middle.
Raburn's bat has been big, while Anderson's speed and defense have been welcome additions. Kelly is becoming a versatile, left-handed-hitting version of Raburn.
5. Bullpen success
Rodney might scare Tigers fans, but he is on pace for 35 saves. Southpaw Bobby Seay is the glue to the late innings, and Brandon Lyon is beginning to get the kind of results that were anticipated when he was signed as a free agent in the off-season. Zach Miner supplies versatility and quality.

State to share info on wildlife violators
MONTPELIER — A hunter whose license is suspended in Vermont can no longer hunt in 38 other states.
The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Monday that it's joining those other states in sharing information about hunting and fishing license suspensions to deter people from violating hunting, fishing and trapping laws elsewhere.
Under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, any person whose license privileges are suspended in one compact member state will have his or her licenses suspended in all other states that belong to the compact.
Vermont chief game warden, Col. David LeCours, said Monday that the compact is an added deterrent for Vermonters who might be tempted to violate fish and wildlife laws at home and then expect to hunt, fish or trap in other states.
"Also, we didn't want Vermont to be one of the last states where bad actors from other states can come to violate our fish and wildlife laws," LeCours said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

Top Fighting Games of 2009
Welcome to VideoGamer.com's top fighting games of 2009, a list of the best videogames, generated by editorial reviews and popularity on the site. Here's a look at our favourites...
Remember, this list is in descending order! VideoGamer.com is always open to hearing about your opinion. Would your list be different? If so let us know on the Forums or tweet us @VideoGamerCom.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled
Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is something of a disappointment that will force all but the most stubborn fans into their shells.
Our Score5
Battle Fantasia
There is fun to be had here, but it's fleeting fun. Battle Fantasia won't be remembered in ten years time, that's for sure.
Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic
Ultimately, Rag Doll Kung Fu comes across as something of a tech demo, the kind of thing you might expect Healey and co showed to Sony executives when trying to get LBP off the ground.
Touch KO
Touch KO is a disappointing game, not because it's terrible, but because it's not nearly as accomplished as it should have been.
King of Fighters XII
In the 90s, KOFXII would have been hailed as a brilliant fighting game. In 2009, in the post Street Fighter IV world, however, it has to go down as a disappointment.
WWE Legends of WrestleMania
If you're one for watching old episodes of Transformers on YouTube, Legends of WrestleMania is for you.
Blades of Fury
While Blades of Fury is not the real deal, it's as close as we can get to at the moment, and that is not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all.
Tekken 6
In a year destined to be remembered as the one that saw the resurgence of the fighting game, Tekken 6's star is too dull to shine brightest.
Street Fighter IV
Basically, the PC version is the console version with a couple of new tricks, but it's still absolutely awesome.
Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Online play makes this classic 2D fighter an essential purchase

These days roughly 50% of UK households own a pet, including ten million cats and seven million dogs, so how can we help prevent disease from passing from our pets to our children?
Vet Marc Abraham explains the fundamentals of pet safety and hygiene below...
Infections and diseases - what to be aware of
Certain pet infections and diseases are easily be passed from animals to us including ringworm (not an actual worm but fungal infection of the skin) passed on from dogs, cats and hamsters, with people working closely with these animals much more prone to infection.
A dangerous disease for pregnant women called toxoplasmosis is spread by a parasite found in cat poo and undercooked and infected meat which can occasionally be spread by using contaminated kitchen utensils; but our biggest public health worry is unscooped dog poo causing toxocariasis - an infection caused by worms which leads to blindness.
The commonest ways for infection to spread from animals include bites, contact with poo, as well as a very small chance from contaminated water or food. Note that cat bites require emergency hospital treatment as they easily turn nasty causing permanent damage.
Reducing the risks of infection
To reduce risk of infection follow simple pet hygiene tips like washing hands thoroughly using an antibacterial soap after handling pets, especially before preparing food. Teach your children to always wash their hands, and wipe them before eating anything.
Make sure kids stay clear of any source of dog and cat poo, stopping them playing near litter trays or poo bins at the park. Visit your vet regularly for check-ups so potential infections can be spotted and dealt with early. Keep your pets in good health with regular boosters and worming (roundworms and tapeworms), making sure worming tablets or any other pet medications are stored well out of reach.
Treat for fleas and ticks with monthly preparations purchased at your vet, keeping your pet's coat nice and clean, and not forgetting to clean their paws if they've dug up any soil, or come in from a muddy walk, or swimming in the pond.
Never leave children unsupervised with any animal however friendly it may seem as unpredictable behaviour or rough handling may cause any animal to bite or scratch. Horses and ponies are obvious sources of danger too so be wary when kids approach them.
Keeping reptiles - important things to consider
There's an increased risk of disease transmission when reptiles are kept as pets, being potential sources of injury from bites, e.g. snakes, as well as posing a high risk of Salmonella transmission, causing painful diarrhoea and vomiting. Decrease risks of being bitten by wearing gloves, using tweezers or tongs to place food down, and making sure your hands don't smell of pet food. Sensible handling of reptiles is needed as children are particularly at risk. Keep any equipment used with your reptile well away from the kitchen too.
Salmonella risk is an important concern for kids under the age of five as their immune systems are still developing with exposure to reptile poo putting your child's health at risk. The safest course of action is to have any reptile or amphibian removed from your house until your child's 5th birthday.
This information has been brought to you with the help of TV vet Marc Abraham.

How an extraordinary alliance between the gay community and striking miners inspired the new British comedy Pride
I first heard about the LGSM — the group of gay and lesbian activists whose extraordinary alliance with a South Wales mining community is the subject of my first screenplay, Pride — during an argument, some time in the early 1990s. I was just 22, and my then boyfriend was berating me for a lack of interest in Michael Heseltine's final round of pit closures. I should point out, before establishing an image of two earnest young political radicals, that the argument took place on the 192 bus from Manchester Piccadilly to Levenshulme. I think we'd just bought an asparagus steamer from

on earth does nflx expect to grow subscribers if that's the case? it ain't going to happen folks. euro growth won't do it as euros aren't hooked on American content.
nflx will either end up in ch. 11 or being taken out in the single digits. this is all hope & change......spend like a bandit right now hoping subscriber growth will catch up with costs. it's not happening. the trifecta of competitors, excessive costs, and declining u.s. subscriber growth is going to be the undoing of nflx
but, until then, eat, drink, and be merry and hope you have a seat when the music stops
Theoretically, the slow growth in streamers could be profitable if marketing, r&d, g&a and amortization decreases significantly in relation to revenue. We all know the costs are increasing as a % of revenue and the DVD cash cow is dying. Their only hope is that someone wants them for strategic purposes and not to make money. Fat chance. Who wants netflix customer base of super cheap and capricious users? No one, that's who.

Jerusalem, May 15, 2008 ... Speaking on a panel discussion as part of the "Facing Tomorrow" conference in Israel, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, said that no matter what the Jewish people do to improve their image, there will always be anti-Semitism.
"The perception of a Jew is irrational and it's a disease," said Mr. Foxman, adding that the truth matters little to the minds of those who are diseased.
Mr. Foxman and other panelists were asked to answer the question: "Are the Jews in Need of a Good Publicist?"
The discussion, which also included remarks from American pollster Stanley Greenberg and Maurice Levy, Chairman and CEO of the Publicis Group, was part of the agenda for the 2008 Israeli President's Conference, which brought world leaders, ambassadors, academics and religious figures together for a series of meetings in conjunction with celebrations for the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence.
Mr. Foxman said the paradox for Jews is that, despite the persistence of anti-Semitism through the ages, Jews have always continue to believe that they can change people's hearts and minds when it comes to anti-Semitism, and that "it will matter what we do, what we say, and how we act."
He added that anti-Semitism exists partly out of jealousy that so many Jews excel at what they do.
"What is the antidote? Not to tell our children to succeed, not to win wars, not to defend our people?," Mr. Foxman said, adding that the truth matters little to those who are diseased.
Yet, despite the ingrained prejudice against them, Jews and all people of goodwill must continue to fight against the defamation of Jews and Israel, Foxman said.
"We have to go out there and try and correct the faults of defamation."
