- 'Road from Ravindra Bhavan to Colva circle to resemble Rajpath'
MARGAO: "The road stretch from Margao's Ravindra Bhavan upto the Old Market, Margao-Colva circle will be developed at a cost of approximately 2.70 crore with the tender already being issued," said Fatorda independent MLA Vijai Sardesai on Thursday. Stating that this would be a 'vibrant cultural avenue' resembling Delhi's Rajpath, Sardesai announced plans of undertaking beautification works of this area around the Fatorda stadium by uprooting the existing coconut trees and replanting them to the tune of 1 crore after the Ganesh festivities. The Fatorda MLA further clarified that the chapel near the stadium would not be affected by the proposed road widening from Goa Bottling, Arlem-Raia to Ravindra Bhavan, Margao. Stating that the tender for this two-bid project worth 18 crore will be issued shortly, Sardesai exclaimed that he was not supporting any firm and defended himself from 'the controversy sought to be created by vested interest to vitiate the communal harmony of the Fatorda constituency at the behest of BJP' pointing out to the association of democratic reforms (ADR) report that stated that the Congress had received a donation of 22.5 lakh from the Chowgule firm. Sardesai assured that the Margao Municipal Council (MMC) will withdraw the no-objection certificate (NOC) issued to the Goa state infrastructure development corporation (GSIDC) as 'the work is foreclosed and the NOC is now defunct, null and void.' Sardesai also divulged of plans to install a portrait of Goa's former chief minister late Wilfred de Souza in the MMC hall on the occasion of his first death anniversary on Sunday, September 4 referring to the departed politician as his 'political guru' who had done yeoman service to Goa. Praising the MMC chairperson Babita Angle Prabhudessai for returning the luxurious vehicle that had been purchased for her official use, the Fatorda legislator alleged that he had observed 'gross irregularities in the functioning of the MMC staff that was beyond the purview of the elected MMC councillors who are being held accountable by the Margao residents'. Sardesai along with Prabhudessai and her ruling group of MMC councillors expressed their shock and surprise that 'there was no centralized outward register in the MMC to maintain transparency of its functioning with each section maintaining a separate register for their department and that the shadow council of Margao (SCM) was not aware of it.'

- Corporator Ravindra Dolas booked for abusing OCW staff
Nagpur: The Tehsil police on Tuesday booked Shanti Nagar prabhag corporator Ravindra Dolas for allegedly manhandling and misbehaving with Orange City Water (OCW) Satranjipura zonal head Pradeep Gurwe. The corporator has been booked under sections 294, 504 and 506 of the IPC for also using foul language at NMC-OCW's Satranjipura zone office located at Maskasath on Tuesday afternoon. It was learnt that NMC-OCW recently disconnected an illegal direct tapping approaching towards Karuna Nagar area in Shanti Nagar prabhag. Agitated over disconnection of illegal direct tapping, Dolas tried to create ruckus as well as pressured NMC-OCW officials to restore the illegal line. Meanwhile, NMC-OCW officials also appointed a dedicated O & M team at Karuna Nagar to monitor and ensure sufficient water supply with help of its bulk water management experts. However, Dolas still insisted on continuing with the illegal direct tapping. On Tuesday, Dolas barged into Satranjipura zone office, tried to ransack office furniture and flung a chair in the cabin of zonal head. He also threw water bottles in the chamber. He manhandled the zonal head and used foul language against him for almost an hour. It is also learnt that Dolas had warned OCW officials of dire consequences if they enter Shanti Nagar area. Earlier too, OCW tanker managers, project managers, and engineers were manhandled at different times by Dolas. In those cases, OCW lodged complaints against Dolas.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/545,825 filed on Nov. 8 1995, abandoned, HAND-HELD TRANSMITTING AND/OR RECEIVING APPARATUS, which is a continuation of PCT application PCT/EP95/00813, filed on Mar. 6, 1995.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hand-held transmitting and/or receiving apparatus including an elongated housing, an electric circuit inside the housing, an earphone at one side and one end of the housing, an electrical ground plane at the other side of the housing opposite to the earphone, an antenna resonant element arranged approximately parallel to the ground plane and having a first free end and a second end which is electrically connected by a ground connector to the ground plane and a device for connecting the ground plane and the resonant element to the electrical circuit.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A hand-held communications apparatus is disclosed in Japanese patent application No. 63-86 559, in which the antenna is an inverted F-antenna. The antenna resonant element of this antenna is connected to the ground plane by a ground located at the end of the housing at which the earphone is positioned. Therefore the free end of the antenna points away from this end of the housing and extends to the middle of the housing where the hand of the user holds the apparatus. From this it follows that the hand of the user not only influences the field of the antenna and thus the radiation pattern but also the resonant frequency, the impedance and the gain of the antenna. As a result of the mismatch standing waves on the feedline to the antenna appear resulting in a loss of high frequency power.
A further disadvantage of this known antenna results from the fact that the center of the user's head is near the maximum electrical field strength of the antenna. This results in additional losses of radiation energy when the antenna is used as a transmitting antenna and also in health risks to the user due to the influence of the electrical field on the head of the user.
The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art namely to avoid influence from the hand or head of a user on the operation of the antenna of the hand-held transmitting and/or receiving apparatus.
The basic idea of the invention is to turn the known antenna by 180� so that the free end of the antenna is pointing to an end of the housing adjacent the earphone. Therefore the maximum electrical field of the antenna is as far away from the user as possible, especially from the user's hand and head, thereby minimizing the influence of the antenna and the hand and head of the user on each other. This results in a smaller influence on the electrical parameters of the antenna, especially its impedance, gain and effectiveness. Additionally, the health risks to the user are minimized.
According to one embodiment of the invention the ground plane extends over approximately the entire width of the elongated housing. This assists in achieving a radiation pattern in which a maximum amount of radiation directed away from the head of the user.
According to a further embodiment of the invention the resonant element has approximately the same width and radiation pattern.
A further feature of the invention extends the ground connector over the entire width of the resonant element.
A still further feature of the invention provides an elongated feeder element positioned at one side of the resonant element, one end of the feeder element representing a feeding end coupled to the device connecting the resonant element to the electric circuit. This avoids a galvanic contact between the electric circuit and the resonant element. Preferrably the feeder element extends over approximately the entire length of the resonant elements, producing an electromagnetic coupling. Additionally the feeding end of the feeder element can be positioned at the free end of the resonant element.
According to a further feature of the invention a projection is provided at an edge of the free end of the resonant element, the projection having a smaller width than the resonant element. By adjusting the length of the projection the resonant freqency of the resonant element can be tuned. Preferrably, the width of the projection is at most one tenth the width of the resonant element. This dimensioning of the projection allows for a fine tuning of the resonant element.
According to a still further feature of the invention the resonant element and the ground plane form an electrically conductive layer or coating on a dielectric substrate. By this, air gaps between the resonant element and the ground plane that may be influenced by mechanical forces, temperature or the like and which could change the electrical parameters of the antenna are avoided. Preferrably, the dielectric substrate forms the housing or a part of the housing. More preferrably the dielectric substrate is a separate unit connected to or positioned inside the housing and is made from nonconducting material. The ground connector may include one single ground connector element extending over the entire width of the resonant element or at least two ground connector elements distributed over the width of the resonant element.
In the following the invention will be described in more detail by way of examples shown in the drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a side view of one embodiment of a hand-held transceiver for a wireless telephone in accordance with the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a rear view of the transceiver of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial cross sectional view of a second embodiment taken along the lines III--III of FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 is a partial cross sectional view similar to FIG. 3 showing a third embodiment,
FIG. 5 is a partial cross sectional view through a fourth embodiment similar to the upper part of FIG. 4 and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the antenna unit in FIG. 5.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a hand-held transceiver comprising a housing 1, an earphone 2, a microphone 3 and an antenna 4 consisting of a resonant element 5, a ground plane 6 and a ground connector 7 connecting one end of the resonant element 5 to the ground plane 6.
The resonant element 5, the ground connector 7 and the ground plane 6 are in the form of a metallic sheet. The ground plane 6 is connected to a backside or rear face of the housing 1.
As can best be seen in FIG. 2 the width of the ground plane 6 is the same as the width of the housing 1, and the width of the resonant element 5 also has almost the same width as the housing 1. The device or arrangement for feeding the resonant element 5 and connecting it and the ground plane 6 to the circuit inside the housing 1, namely a transmitter and a receiver, are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and may have any form known in the art, e. g. a coax-cable can be connected to the ground plane, the core of the cable being connected to the resonant element 5 at a distance or spacing from the ground connector 7.
As can best be seen from FIG. 1, the free end of the resonant element 5 points in the direction towards the end of the housing 1 carrying the earphone 2. Therefore the strength of the electrical field generated by the resonant element 5 is at a maximum away from the area at which the hand of a user grips the housing 1, namely between the earphone 2 and the microphone 3. The strength of the electrical field near the ground connector 7 is low. The result is that the influence of the hand of the user on the antenna 4 is low. Furthermore, the maximum electrical field of the antenna at its free end is as far away from the head of the user as possible when the earphone 2 contacts the ear of the user.
FIG. 3 shows a cross section of an embodiment similar to a section III--III through FIG. 2. Similar elements have the same reference numbers. Different from the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is the positioning of the ground plane 6 which is now inside the housing 1 while the resonant element 5 is outside of the housing 1, the ground connector 7 extending through a slit in the wall of the housing 1. Ground plane 6 and resonant element 5 are in the form of conducting layers on the wall of the housing 1, which wall is made of a dielectric material. Since there is no air gap between the resonant element 5 and the ground plane 6, on the one hand, and the dielectric material of the wall of the housing 1 on the other, the electrical parameters of the antenna are highly independent of mechanical forces on the antenna element 5 and/or the groundplane 6.
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment similar to that of FIG. 3. Similar elements again carry the same reference number. In FIG. 4 the resonant element 5, the ground plane 6 and the ground connector 7 are conducting layers on a separate dielectric substrate 8 altogether forming an independent unit which is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. This avoids a slit through the wall of the housing 1 for the ground connector 7 connecting the foot of the resonant element 5 to the ground plane 6. Since all electrical elements of the antenna in this embodiment are located inside the housing 1, it is easier to connect the electrical elements of the antenna to the electric circuit (not shown) inside the housing 1.
FIG. 5 shows, in more details, a partial cross sectional view through the upper part of a hand-held communications apparatus with an antenna arrangement similar to that of FIG. 4. Inside a wall 9 of a housing 10, most of which is broken away, an antenna unit 11 is positioned consisting of a dielectric body 12 on which an antenna resonant element 13, a ground connector 14 and a ground plane 15 are fixed and positioned to form an electric layer thereabout. The ground plane 15 has protrusions 16 and 17 contacting a conducting elastic layer 18 on a circuit board 19 carrying electrical leads and elements (not shown) in a known manner.
The dielectric body 12 has a recess 20 providing a cavity 21 into which circuit elements on the circuit board 19 may extend and which are well-screened by the electrical layer of the ground plane 15.
FIG. 6 shows the unit of FIG. 5 comprising the dielectric body 12, the resonant element 13, the ground connector 14 and the ground plane 15 in perspective view. Ground connector 14 may be a single element as illustrated in solid lines or may comprise two or more separate ground connector elements distributed over the width of the resonant element 13 such as elements 14a and 14b illustrated in dotted lines. It can be seen that from an edge 22 of the free end of the resonant element 13 a projection 23 extends, the width of which is much smaller than the width of the resonant element 13. The projection 23 can be shortened for tuning purposes.
In FIG. 6 furthermore, it can be seen that along one side or edge of the resonant element 13 a feeder element 24 is fixed on the surface of the dielectric body 12, the feeder element 24 extending approximately along the entire length of the resonant element 13. The free end of the feeder element 24 is near the ground connector 14 while another or opposite end 25 of the feeder element 24 extends to the side of the dielectric body 12 at which the ground plane 15 is located. Therefore the feeder element 24 can be connected to the electric leads of the circuit board 19 by a small conducting and elastic layer in the same manner as the ground plane 15 is connected to the circuit board 19 by the layer 18.

text: Indian Rupee Falls To 6-day Low Against Dollar On S&P Warning 6/11/2012 6:47 AM ET In late afternoon deals on Monday, the Indian rupee declined to a 6-day low against the U.S. dollar after Standard & Poor's said in a report that India could lose its investment grade rating due to slow economic growth and political roadblocks to economic policymaking.The rupee is now trading at 55.68 per dollar and if the Indian currency weakens further, it will target the 56 level. The dollar-rupee pair ended last week's deals at 55.375. In a report titled "Will India Be The First BRIC Fallen Angel?", the rating agency said government's reaction to potentially slower growth and greater vulnerability to economic shocks could largely determine whether the country can maintain an investment-grade rating or become the first "fallen angel" among the BRIC nations. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News World's Top Ten Oil Producers, Ranked Biotech Stocks Awaiting Clinical Trial Results This Month Overhyped Tech Products That Flopped

If you have ever seen the movie iRobot, then you might remember this important scene, which I think bears relevance to the Healthcare battle going on in our country.
Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith): Headed back to the station. Normal day, normal life. The driver of a semi fell asleep at the wheel. Average guy, wife and kids, working a double. *Not* the devil. The car he hit, the driver's name was Harold Lloyd. Like the film star, but no relation. He was killed instantly. But his twelve-year-old was sitting in the passenger's seat. Never really met her. Can't forget her face, though. Sarah.
Detective Del Spooner: This was hers. She wanted to be a dentist. What the hell kind of twelve-year-old wants to be a dentist? Yeah, um... the truck smashed our cars together and pushed us into the river. You know, metal gets pretty pliable at those speeds. She's pinned, I'm pinned, the water's coming in. I'm a cop, so I know everybody's dead. Just a few minutes until we figure that out. NS4 was passing by and jumped in the river.
NS4 Robots: [from flashback] You are in danger!
Detective Del Spooner: [from flashback] Save her!
NS4 Robots: [from flashback] You are in danger!
Detective Del Spooner: [from flashback] Save her! Save the girl!
Detective Del Spooner: But it didn't. Saved me.
Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan): The robot's brain is a difference engine. It's reading vital signs. It must have done...
Detective Del Spooner: It did. It was the logical choice. It calculated that I had a 45% chance of survival. Sarah only had an 11% chance. That was somebody's baby. 11% is more than enough. A human being would've known that. Robots,[indicating his heart]
Detective Del Spooner: nothing here, just lights and clockwork. Go ahead, you trust 'em if you want to.
"11% is more than enough." Well, in the public healthcare world of the Liberals, and Democrats, I doubt that a 11% chance of survival would be enough for anyone to be given assistance to live, but you can be certain that it would very likely not be provided to anyone outside the golden range (15-40 years) of a real life Grim Reaper, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
Betsy McCaughey's article in today's Wall Street Journal, "Obama's Health Rationer-in-Chief," is a frightening presentation on the thinking of one of President Obama's most important advisers on healthcare reform.
So, in the world of Dr. Emanuel, of Barack Obama, of Liberals and Democrats, do you think this woman, who at age 50 was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and given a 25% chance to live 5 years, would be given treatment?
We all know people, family, and friends who have been diagnosed with one serious disease or another, and told the prognosis was not good for survival beyond a few months, or years. Sometimes, the doctors are right, and they pass on as foretold, but as often as not, we can all find examples of family and friends who defied the odds, and went on to live (and continue to live in some cases) long after their supposed expiration date.
Perhaps even Lance Armstrong, who at age 25 was diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer, which had already spread to his brain, lungs, and abdomen, might have been denied care had Obamacare been implemented when this diagnosis happened. He was given a 50% chance to live. Actually, his chances for survival were much less than 50% "but they (his doctors) did not want to get his spirits down." Hmmm... I guess someone's spirit does matter after all in situations of life or death.
Or what about Heather Hornback-Bland. She is the author of an incredible, inspirational book that I read last year called God Said Yes. From the about section of her website:
"At the age of four, I accidentally fell out of the car driven by my mother and was crushed under the wheel. My family was told I would never live and, if I did, would surely never walk." If you go to the link, you can read the rest of the description of her injuries, which are graphic. Her family was told on the way to the hospital, as well as before her first operation, and after, that she would never live, but she did. And today she is alive, married, and has a daughter, which she gave birth to in 1995. Oh, and she can walk too.
Her medical debts have reached as high as $1,000,000, and she pays over $2,000 a month for various prescription medicine. Now, do you think Dr. Emanuel, Barack Obama, or the bureaucratic death panels they would create would have allowed her to be brought anywhere but the morgue after the accident, which occurred when she was four years old? Do you think that had the Obamacare system been in force when the accident happened, and somehow she slipped through and got treated but then as the bills mounted, that the death bureaucrats would once and for all put the kibosh on any further treatments, and give her some pills to keep her out of pain until she died?
Here is another quote:
"Dr. Emanuel concedes that his plan appears to discriminate against older people, but he explains: 'Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination. . . . Treating 65 year olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not.' "
The youngest are also put at the back of the line: 'Adolescents have received substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants, by contrast, have not yet received these investments. . . . As the legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin argues, 'It is terrible when an infant dies, but worse, most people think, when a three-year-old dies and worse still when an adolescent does,' this argument is supported by empirical surveys." (thelancet.com, Jan. 31, 2009)."
This thinking is disgusting, and warped. They set the value on a human being, and not just that, that this value has its highest worth between and certain age range (15-40.) Before or after that range, the value of a human being goes down. Following this thinking, it is easy to understand then why so many far left Liberals and Democrats have no problem with killing unborn children - they are not even on the chart.
To me, thinking by liberals such as Dr. Emanuel is similar to that of the cs4 robots in iRobot - they want to apply some type of logic, some cold caluclation to how our healthcare is done, to how we see each other, to put an intrinsic dollar and societal value on each one of us. Your value is X, so, you live, yours is Y, so, you die.
But this is wrong.
Human beings are not logical. We may try to do various things in our lives in an organized fashion but we are certainly not logical by nature. We do things every day which would make no sense to a robot, or someone who has come to think like one. For example, what other creatures on this planet run towards fire to help others of their kind? None - except human beings in their role as firemen. And they do it every day.
Is it logical to run into buildings that have just been hit by planes, are on fire and may well collapse in some form? No, but hundreds of firemen, police officers, and other first responders did just that with the Twin Towers on 9/11, even though many may have well believed that they wouldn't be coming out alive.
Is it logical for a human being diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer, and given less than 50% chance to live, to not only survive, but then return to the sport he had left, and go on to be one of the greatest athletes in his sport, ever? No, but Lance Armstrong did just that - winning the Tour de France a record seven times. FYI Barack Obama, Dr. Emanuel, etc., that's called spirit, that's called the will to survive. And yeah, it is important, it's what makes us human beings.
We do not need a government health plan, nor death bureaucrats, who'll decide that 11% (or whatever the calculation used is) isn't a good enough percentage for someone to live.
We need to keep the life and death decisions, which we all face, in our hands, and in the hands of our private doctors. Because 11% is more than enough. So is 25%, or 50%, or 1%, or even, as was the case with Heather Hornback-Bland, when there was (supposedly) no chance at all.

Nobody/Anonymous - 2006-03-18
I connected a Adapt AD-700 Sirf III GPS device to my Archos PMA 430 with a Sweex bluetooth USB dongle. Class II because of battery live.
Works fantastic.
I have tried a Globalsat BR 303, USB GPS mouse. No GPS fix in 15 minutes. The Adapt has a full fix in seconds, even indoor or in the car. Spent the extra cash for a good GPS receiver.

NH Register: Shin injury sidelines UConn's Stokes
Former Linn-Mar star Kiah Stokes is sidelined with a stress reaction in her shin, reports the New Haven (Conn.) Register.
Stokes is a backup center for the second-ranked University of Connecticut women's basketball team.
A sophomore who is tied for the team lead with 12 blocked shots, Stokes complained about the pain in her right shin shortly after a Dec. 6 game against Penn State.
According to the report, Stokes will miss tonight's game against Oakland, and hopes to be back in time for the Dec. 29 game against No. 1 Stanford.
Stokes underwent ankle surgery following her freshman season. This season, she has played in all eight games, averaging 12.4 minutes per game. She is averaging 2.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.
Connecticut is 8-0.

Pro IDF Priest's Son Suffered Brutal BeatingMonday, December 9th, 2013
The teenage son of Father Gabriel Nadaf of Nazareth, who was soon to be drafted into the Israel Defense Forces, suffered a brutal beating on Friday evening. He is being treated at the English Hospital in Nazareth.
A 21-year-old affiliated with the anti-Israel Hadash party was arrested in connection with the attack, Israel's Channel 2 television reported.
Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest known for encouraging participation in military and national service among local Christians, said in the TV interview that his wife and other son fear leaving their home.
"As I call for integration in Israeli society, extremists are trying to divide and tear and incite against me," Nadaf said. "The incitement of verbal threats has passed yesterday into physical violence as their goal is to intimidate me and my family."
His family has been threatened not only physically; Israeli politicians have interfered to prevent the Jerusalem Patriarchate from firing Nadaf and destroying his livelihood.
Matan Peleg, director of operations for Im Tirtzu ("If you will it"), an Israeli organization promoting Zionist values, told United with Israel that last year, when a number of Christians in Nazareth had decided to promote enlistment in the IDF and join the Israeli mainstream, "we helped them immediately. They were placing their destiny with the State of Israel."
Nadaf is "a good friend," Peleg said, adding that only last week his group had warned that "something like this would happen."
The past several months have seen a growing patriotism among Christian Israeli Arabs, which has alarmed enemies of the Jewish state.
In July, a new Christian party, Brit HaHadasha (meaning "Sons of the New Testament"), was created, calling for service in the IDF among other forms of integration
By mid-summer, the number of IDF recruits from Israel's Arab-Christian community more than tripled since last year – from 35 to 100 – and 500 had volunteered for national service. They identify themselves as "Arab-speaking Israeli Christians."
"At a time when Christian communities across the Islamic world are facing vicious persecution in the form of arrests, mob violence and bombings of churches, it's no coincidence that this assertive form of Christian identity has manifested in democratic Israel," noted JNS journalist Ben Cohen. "Increasingly, Christians in the Middle East understand that if their faith is to have a future in the region, the states in which they live need to be governed by the values of democracy and tolerance. A state that is Jewish in terms of its identity but which gives the same rights and demands the same duties of all of its citizens is truly a revolutionary development for the Middle East – and a key reason why so many of its neighbors dream of its destruction."
"Our goal is to guard the Holy Land and the State of Israel," Nadaf declared at a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the summer. "We have broken the barrier of fear – the state deserves that we do our part in defending it. Those who oppose the integration of the Christian community in the institutions of state do not walk in the path of Christianity."
"Members of the Christian community must be allowed to enlist in the IDF," Netanyahu asserted. "You are loyal citizens who want to defend the state and I salute you and support you. We will not tolerate threats against you and we will act to enforce the law with a heavy hand against those who persecute you. I will not tolerate attempts to crumble the state from within. The State of Israel and the Prime Minister stand alongside you."
Following the attack, Netanyahu vowed that Israel will not tolerate continued violence against Christian supporters of Israel.

Obama's Cultural RapeMonday, October 28th, 2013
Rape is an ugly word, an even uglier deed. I don't use the word lightly or easily. Rape is a crime of violence, not passion; of destruction. The intent is to take the soul, destroy the body. It is an injustice beyond measure, a violation of humanity. No, I've never been raped but I know women who have been.
When someone uses the word "holocaust" – even without the capital letter, it bothers me because too often it is thrown around easily and rather than elevate the crime, it diminishes, just a bit, the Holocaust. I think rape is the same way – people use the word so freely, it takes away from when a real rape is inflicted on a person.
And yet…and yet, I'm going to use it here because it is the only word I can think of that applies, and the man ultimately responsible for this rape, this cultural rape – is Barack Hussein Obama – and yes, I'm using his middle name because he felt fine using it in Cairo and other places. And perhaps, just a little, that middle name plays a role in what he is about to do.
The full story, credit for it, comes from and goes to Caroline Glick in her article in the Jerusalem Post, "Our World: A miracle and an Outrage." The gist of it is – by some miracle, 2,500 years of heritage, of holy books and more survived the devastation and the almost entire complete exile of the Iraqi Jewish community. Saddam Hussein (yeah, there's that name again), stole over 2,700 Jewish books and writings from the Jewish community. He stored them in some basement to rot and by some miracle, invading US troops found the waterlogged remains.
Amazingly enough, the troops and leaders realized the magnitude of what they had found and the collection was taken to the States, refurbished, renewed, reclaimed at a cost of $3 million dollars. I don't know how, but I'm willing to raise the money to pay the Americans back for this kindness.
But…here comes the outrage about which Caroline Glick wrote. The American government proudly put their accomplishment on display. Good for them. The exhibition at the National Archives runs through January – that is the scheduled date of the cultural rape about to take place. On or around that time, Obama and the State Department feel it is their responsibility to return the archive to its rightful owners. And I commend them for this decision as much as I condemn them for being too stupid to know who those rightful owners are. No, Mr. President
I believe that the Israeli Ambassador to the United States should request an immediate meeting with the United States President. I believe our Prime Minister must, in no uncertain terms, make it clear that the owners of the archives are the Iraqi Jews – who live primarily in Israel and that to send the archives, these holy books, "back" to Iraq is tantamount to destroying them. Obama might as well blow them up in Washington for all that sending them back to Baghdad will accomplish.
It is hard to believe that caring human beings would not do all in their power to stop a rape they know is about to take place – well, here's our chance. We know where, we know when – now it is up to each of us to stop it.
Obama – what do you want to stop this travesty? Do you want 3 million dollars? We will raise it. You want a request from the Iraqi Jewish community – I'll see to it. You want the Israeli government to request it – Bibi, please, do this before it is too late.
Just was what was stolen by the Nazis has long been recognized as belonging to the victims of the Holocaust, the archives belong to the Jews from whom Saddam Hussein stole them. They are not, and never were, the legacy of Iraq – rather, they are the legacy of a small community that was all but hounded into exile, only to re-establish themselves in Israel.
The archives should be donated to the community here in Israel, to a museum they established as a true legacy to what was once a thriving Jewish community. These holy books never belonged to the Iraqi government, Saddam Hussein, or the greater Iraqi people. To deny the rightful owners, to turn these books over to the Iraqis is an abomination, a cultural rape of 2,500 years.
Please help – write to Washington and demand that the archive be given to their rightful owners, the Iraqi JEWISH community, largely represented in Israel and no where else.
Please write to your Congress representatives and ask them to add their voices against this injustice.

Sefer Torah Represents a First for Canadian CityFriday, October 4th, 2013
At first glance, it looked like any other community day in the park. Kids dabbled on arts-and-crafts projects while the adults mingled, enjoying refreshments on a nearby table as a band played in the background.
But a few details hinted that this Sept. 10 festival was unlike any other the city of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada had ever seen—namely, the tent just off to the side, where a bearded gentleman sat with a quill in hand and a large Torah scroll open on a table before him.
The pomp and circumstance went hand in hand to mark the completion and dedication of a brand-new Torah scroll for the two-year-old Chabad-Lubavitch of the Okanagan, co-directed by Rabbi Shmuly and Fraidy Hecht.
"People were just flabbergasted, and so excited to have a Sefer Torah," said Rabbi Hecht. "People in the community came over to me in tears telling me how happy they are living in this small town, and who would have ever thought we'd get to write our own Sefer Torah?"
Hecht noted that the date was chosen to recognize the yahrtzeit, the anniversary of the passing of Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, mother of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
Community member Stephen Cipes acknowledged the "great deal of support, merriment and gaiety" at the celebration. "It was very meaningful."
Of some 117,000 residents in Kelowna, Hecht estimates that maybe 1,000 are Jewish. And while Kelowna is the largest city in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, how did this relatively quiet area—a full 4½-hour drive northeast of Vancouver—end up with its own Torah?
'A Nice Coincidence'
According to Hecht, the story goes back several months ago to the Jewish festival of Shavuot.
For that holiday—held this year in mid-May and which commemorates G‑d's giving of the Torah at Sinai—Hecht needed to borrow a Torah scroll from a synagogue in Vancouver, since Chabad Kelowna didn't have one of its own. Having secured one, he then sent out invitations to the community to attend a lively holiday service.
Cipes, originally from New York, and his adult sons were among those who took the rabbi up on the invite. "It was a wonderful time we had," recalled Cipes, adding that two of his sons were even honored with an aliyah, being called up to the Torah as it was read aloud.
After services, Cipes and his son Ezra went to talk to the rabbi. That's when Stephen Cipes announced that he wanted to buy a Torah.
"I was just inspired, and I stood up and made the gesture spontaneously," said Cipes. "I really didn't even know we didn't have a Torah," he said, because one was present during the service. As for the timing—making a pledge to buy a scroll on the day Jews celebrate G‑d's giving of the Torah—Cipes noted that it was a "nice coincidence."
Hecht recalled telling Cipes after his announcement "how amazing it was that on the day of Shavuot when the Jewish people received the first Torah, how honored we are that on that day we received our first Torah."
Given that it can cost between $20,000 and $60,000 to purchase a new Torah scroll, it is often not something most Chabad houses can do when they are first getting off the ground. (The cost is due to the meticulous work and significant time it takes for the sofer, the scribe, to compose the scroll.)
During the next few months, Hecht located a Torah scroll being written in Israel and arranged for Cipes to purchase it with a planned completion marked for the High Holidays.
The Torah they got, said Cipes, "is a piece of art. It is one of the most beautiful Torahs anyone's ever seen … ."
And in that beautiful scroll, Cipes and other community members had a hand in physically helping to complete the final letters on that early September day in the park.
"Everyone got to do a letter from their Hebrew name, which was exciting," said Hecht, noting that this Torah is believed to be the first ever written for Jews living in the Okanagan Valley.
Among those who wrote in the scroll was Chabad supporter Lesley Spiegel, who stood in for her husband, Timothy, who was on a plane at the time. Reflecting on that moment, Spiegel said, "Honestly, it happened so quickly that I had difficulty collecting my thoughts and trying to understand the scribe at the same time. When I thought about the whole experience later, I was very emotional. I have never seen a Torah up close!"Chabad.org
Iceland to Get its First MosqueMonday, September 30th, 2013
Originally published at Gatestone Institute.
The Reykjavík City Council has approved a building permit for the construction of the first mosque in Iceland.
The mosque will be built in Sogamýri, an upscale district near downtown Reykjavík on a highly desirable plot of land that was granted to Muslims free of charge, courtesy of Icelandic taxpayers.
Members of the city council — which is led by Reykjavík Mayor Jón Gnarr, who identifies himself as an anarchist — say they hope the prime location will make the mosque a prominent landmark in the city.
Critics of the mosque, however, say the project is being financed by donors in the Middle East who are seeking to exert control over — and radicalize — the growing Muslim community in Iceland.
Although reliable statistics do not exist, the Muslim population of Iceland is estimated to be approximately 1,200, or 0.4% of the total Icelandic population of 320,000. Most Muslims in Iceland live in the capital Reykjavík, where they make up about 1% of the total population of 120,000.
The Muslim community in Iceland may be small in comparison to other European countries, but its rate of growth has been exponential: Since 1990, when there were fewer than a dozen Muslims in the country, their number has increased by nearly 10,000%. Much of this growth has been due to immigration, but in recent years native Icelanders have also been converting to Islam in increasing numbers.
Currently there are two main Muslim groups in Iceland: the Muslim Association of Iceland, which has around 500 members, and the Islamic Cultural Center of Iceland, which has some 300 followers. The former group is run by Salmann Tamimi, a Palestinian immigrant who considers himself to be the voice of moderate Islam in Iceland; the latter group is run by Ahmad Seddeq, a firebrand preacher from Pakistan whose activities are allegedly being financed by Saudi Arabia.
Although both groups pertain to Sunni Islam, they have been openly fighting with each other for many years over who should be the rightful representative of Islam in Iceland.
In 2000, Tamimi — whose group meets at a make-shift mosque on the third floor of an office building in downtown Reykjavík — submitted an application to obtain a free plot of land from city authorities to build the first purpose-built mosque in Iceland.
Not to be outdone, Seddeq — whose group meets at a make-shift mosque in an old concert hall near the Reykjavík airport — submitted his own application for free land to build a competing mosque.
City officials responded by saying there should be only one mosque and that it should be shared by both groups. "Obviously we won't be allocating two lots for mosques at this point and we find it natural for them to cooperate on the construction of one mosque," Páll Hjaltason, the chairman of Reykjavík City's Urban Planning Council, told the newspaper Fréttabladid.
Seddeq said he was open to the idea of sharing one plot of land, but Tamimi, who submitted his application first, would have none of it. Instead, Tamimi lashed out at Seddeq, accusing him of extremism, fanaticism and oppression in the name of Islam.
"Our application is completely different from theirs," Salmann said in an interview with the newspaper Fréttabladid. "This is like asking the national church to be with the Jehovah's Witnesses."
Tamimi sought to undermine Seddeq's group by accusing it of being financed by Saudi Arabia. At one point, Tamimi called the police to report members of Seddeq's group, accusing them of misunderstanding the peaceful nature of Islam, and saying that he feared that Muslim extremists were attempting to gain a foothold in Iceland.
Tamimi also sought to assure the Reykjavík City Council that — unlike Seddeq — his mosque project would not be financed by foreigners and thus would not be promoting extremism.
"If we are going to have a mosque, it must be done according to local considerations," Tamimi said in October 2010. "As soon as you lose sight of the source of funding you lose control of what happens subsequently. The experience of other countries teaches that it is wise to reject large foreign investments in religion. Such investors are much more likely to import their own countries' traditions and not adapt to the traditions in their host country."
In the end, city officials sided with Tamimi, whose mosque project was formally approved on September 19. After more than a decade of bickering, construction of Reykjavík's first mosque is expected to begin in early 2014.
The cost of building the 800 square meter (8,600 square foot) mosque — which will include a prayer hall, community center and library, as well as a nine-meter (30 foot) minaret — is expected to exceed 400 million Icelandic Krona (€2.5 million; $3.3 million).
But now that the Reykjavík mosque project has been given the go-ahead, Tamimi's group has changed its tune and now admits that foreign donors will be paying for the mosque's construction costs after all.
During a newspaper interview on September 19 — conducted just a few hours after the mosque project was approved — Sverrir Agnarsson, a convert to Islam who is chairman of Tamimi's group, the Muslim Association of Iceland, was asked how the mosque would be financed.
"We have received numerous promises," Agnarsson said. "We are mostly seeking funding from individual foreigners. We have a right to get support from the collective funds of Muslims [the Ummah, or the worldwide community of Muslims]. We are doing all of this in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice to guarantee that all the money coming to us is received legally, and is not associated with any terrorist organizations," he added.
The idea that foreigners are financing the spread of Islam in Reykjavík does not sit well with many Icelanders.
One of the most vocal opponents of the mosque project has been the former mayor of Reykjavík, Ólafur F. Magnússon. In an article he wrote for the newspaper Morgunbladid, Magnússon laid out his position:
It is a matter of grave concern that it seems to be no problem for Muslims in Iceland to finance such a mosque here in Iceland with money from 'Muslim/Islamic promotion organizations' abroad. They could receive financial help from organizations that want to increase Islamic influence in Iceland as well as in other countries. This can be dangerous for our national culture and safety.
Magnússon also said why he thought it was wrong for foreign organizations to be financing the construction of mosques in Iceland:
Islam is a religion with the goal to eliminate all other religions and to expand all over the world, the West, the Nordic countries…and now even Iceland. The experience in the Nordic countries shows that Muslims are not adapting to society. This has become a huge problem, in Malmö [Sweden] for example. The other day, a mosque was to be built on Trondheim [Norway], but the Norwegian authorities canceled the project because some Saudi Arabian organization was to finance the whole thing.
Although he is not opposed to the mosque per se, Magnússon believes it is outrageous for the city to give Muslims a building site at no cost at a great location in the center of Reykjavík. He also asks why political movements and feminist groups in Iceland are so tolerant towards a religion that he says degrades women.
Part of the answer may be found in the political make-up of the Reykjavík City Council, which is led by the upstart Best Party, a so-called joke party that was propelled into office in 2010 as a backlash against establishment parties in the wake of Iceland's banking collapse in 2008.
The Best Party — a semi-serious far left party that is home to anarchists, atheists, surrealists, punks and poets — is being led by Jón Gnarr, a stand-up comedian whose stated political aim is thoroughly to upset the established order in Reykjavík. Critics say the new mosque represents a big step toward achieving Gnarr's objective.Soeren Kern
He Murdered his DaughterThursday, September 12th, 2013
Guest Post by Suzzane Handler
Mental Illness is one of those subjects that is still pretty much taboo to talk about in the Orthodox Jewish community. And that can lead to tragic consequences. No more tragic than what happened in Cheyenne, Wyoming almost 80 years ago.
I think it is high time we start the conversation. I can think of no better time to do so than during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva. The following was sent to me by Catherine Goldberg whose opening words introduce Suzzane Handler. She wrote a book about her Orthodox grandfather – a man who murdered his own daughter.
My name is Catherine Goldberg. I'm a big fan of Emes Ve-Emunah and look forward to learning something new everyday every time you post. It always makes me think. I just wanted to share something I'm working on and I thought your community may be interested in.
I found this book called The Secrets They Kept. (It is) about an Orthodox Jew who murdered his youngest daughter who was schizophrenic instead of having her committed.
I got in touch with the author (whose) name is Suzanne Handler and she's fabulous. We talked about how there's a big stigma in the Jewish community that bad stuff like schizophrenia or abuse doesn't happen to us. We both agreed this is not a safe way to think. There's a lot of guilt and shame associated it with and when that's internalized that can be really dangerous.
Secret keeping, especially throughout generations is devastating. (T)his book… says it's OK to talk about this, and by sharing your story we can begin to move forward.
We also talked about what this has to do with forgiveness and Yom Kippur. Suzanne had to forgive her family for keeping this horrible secret from her. I think once she did forgive her family her quality of life improved significantly.
Maybe Yom Kippur is a good time to talk about this and how it relates to mental illness in the Jewish community.
In hopes of raising awareness, Suzanne sent me a little piece that she wrote about her story. She's hoping that her story will get people talking.
The reason why I was so drawn to this is because a good friend of mine was schizophrenic and committed suicide during our senior year of college. He was Jewish too and I was really torn between this idea that Jewish law says you can't mourn a suicide and realizing this kid was sick. We've made a lot of progress on how we approach mental illness but not enough. It would be amazing if by spreading Suzanne's story I could raise awareness and money for schizophrenia research or something.
The following was written by Suzzane Handler:
What would compel a devout Jewish father to take the life of his own child?
On June 28th of this year, The Intermountain Jewish News (IJN) ran a feature article detailing the dramatic events contained in my book, The Secrets They Kept: The True Story of a Mercy Killing That Shocked a Town and Shamed a Family. For your convenience, I have provided the link to that piece below. Chris Leppek, assistant editor of the IJN and the person who wrote the article, has granted permission for his story to be reprinted, with the caveat that his name and that of the paper be appropriately cited. He does so in the hope that thoughtful discussions regarding the stigma of mental illness in our society will follow.
Here is a brief summary of the story: In 1937, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, my maternal grandfather, Sam Levin, shot and killed his 16 year-old daughter. The girl, Sally, had been diagnosed with dementia praecox (mid-century term for schizophrenia) and was to be sent to an insane asylum, presumably for the rest of her life. Declared incurable and a danger to herself and others, Sally begged her father to end her life, as well as his own, in a joint murder/suicide pact. On August 16,th of that year, my grandfather, exhausted and desperate from grief and indecision, finally agreed to Sally's last wish. The girl died within the hour; my grandfather lived and carried the burden of his shame and sorrow to his grave.
Due to the stigma of mental illness then, as well as now, and the nature of my grandfather's unimaginable crime, this story remained a secret in our family for over 70 decades. Following years of research and soul searching, I have now, at long last, come to the place where understanding meets forgiveness.
I am humbled that The Secrets They Kept: The True Story of a Mercy Killing That Shocked a Town and Shamed a Family, has sold over 8,000 copies and is currently #1 in Mental Health and #7 in Jewish Interest in the Amazon Virtual Book Store.

Remembering a Community's Selfless Response to Hurricane SandyThursday, August 29th, 2013
With the coming of the New Year I can't help but think of the past year's highlights. While many memorable events occurred in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's Jewish community in 5773, one in particular stands out for me: our response to Hurricane (later named Superstorm) Sandy.
In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy pounded America's East Coast. Numerous communities in New York and New Jersey were devastated by flooding. Although Harrisburg experienced strong winds and heavy rains we were, thankfully, spared the fury of our temperamental Susquehanna River.
Our feelings of relief, however, were cut short when we learned just how badly other communities had fared. We soon heard of Jewish communities whose very infrastructure – schools, synagogues and homes – had been destroyed by the storm. To make matters worse, many of the areas most affected by Sandy were left without power for weeks after the storm.
Very quickly, Jewish relief organizations sprang into action to assist those who had lost everything. News stories abounded about ad-hoc aid centers, soup kitchens, and food and clothing distribution points that had been set up in Jewish day schools and synagogues.
It did not take long before Harrisburg's diverse Jewish community found itself directly involved in the relief effort.
In a short span of time our shul, Kesher Israel Congregation, raised and distributed thousands of dollars to help fund those relief organizations actively assisting families most affected by Sandy.
The teens of the local Jewish Federation's Bnei Tzedek group collected an incredible amount of canned goods, batteries and flashlights for Jewish families left without power in the Far Rockaway section of New York.
The Federation here also organized a clothing drive to help families of all backgrounds left without belongings in Sandy's wake.
Perhaps most impressive, however, was our community's rapidly assembled relief mission to Staten Island, New York.
In a wonderful statement of unity, a group of volunteers spanning Jewish Harrisburg (and beyond) spent Wednesday, November 14 in Staten Island helping hurricane victims in a hands-on fashion. Starting at 4:30 a.m. our group met at our JCC to load our bus with an abundance of supplies and clothing our community had donated for the hurricane victims.
Our group of relief volunteers represented the diverse nature of Harrisburg's Jewish community. From an excited bunch of 7th graders in our local Jewish day school to a hard-working volunteer in his eighties, our group also spanned all ages. Once in Staten Island, we worked through the Young Israel, which had become one of the command centers assisting area residents hit by the storm.
In the days following Sandy, families of all religions, backgrounds and circumstances who had been devastated by the storm reached out to the synagogue for assistance. Upon our arrival we handed off our collected goods and the synagogue's relief coordinator found appropriate jobs for each member of our group. In one way we all put in a hard day's work assisting families, both Jewish and non-Jewish, whose homes had sustained damage ranging from flooded basements all the way to total loss. As a result of our efforts, Harrisburg's Jewish community gained national attention.
What prompted our relatively small Jewish community out in Central Pennsylvania to be so generous with funds, resources and time? While a number of factors certainly played a role, I believe there is one that cannot be ignored.
The Jews of Harrisburg can honestly identify and sympathize with flood-stricken families, synagogues, and schools. As Harrisburg is nestled along the banks of the Susquehanna River, we know all too well what it means to suffer the effects of a hurricane. Having been through something of this nature on several occasions (my congregants report that the worst was Hurricane Agnes of 1972), our collective reaction was that of understanding, empathy and a sincere wish to be part of the relief effort.
In the months since Hurricane Sandy I have received many thank-you notes from people who were assisted by our community. I would venture to say, however, that those of us who did our best to help others in their time of need were ourselves, on a different level to be sure, very real beneficiaries of that relief effort.Rabbi Akiva Males

A data scientist's experiment reveals surprising information about interconnected smart devices.
Corporations are increasingly relying on algorithms to make business decisions, a practice that raises new legal questions.
Excessive reliance on data could influence even well-meaning politicians to lose sight of small-d democratic goals.
In theory, the changeover from paper to email should make government more transparent. But two New York politicos are showing that the era of Big Data does not necessarily mean the public gets a better view of its government.
Barack Obama "makes George W. Bush and Richard Nixon look good by comparison," Truthdig's editor-in-chief told Salon in an interview about his new book, "They Know Everything About You: How Data-Collecting Corporations and Snooping Government Agencies Are Destroying Democracy."
Whatever your views, you should want government programs to achieve what they set out to do.
Stanford's Center for Internet and Society has long received funding from Google, but a filing shows the university recently pledged to use the money only for non-privacy research. Academics say such promises are problematic.
This is a column about "Big Data" and a new way to predict the results of presidential elections for the next 20 years.
Even those who believe the National Security Agency's vacuum-cleaner surveillance of electronic communications does not trample privacy rights should be troubled by this practical implication: If you try to know everything, you end up knowing nothing.
A Dutch student sold all his online data to the highest bidder to make an important point; your CDs (if you have any left) are slowly dying because they weren't made to last; meanwhile, the Israeli government is trying to persuade Palestinian Christians to join its military forces. These discoveries and more after the jump.
This week on Truthdig Radio in association with KPFK: Why is the FBI harassing peace activists in the Midwest? Also: The Sunlight Foundation's plan to fight money in politics, the mystery of Canada's vanishing women, and the threat of big data.
Democrats are no longer as chummy with Israel as the GOP has become; big data's on everybody's mind these days; meanwhile, a Finnish columnist offers his perspective on the Ukraine and Russia conflict from a different vantage point. These discoveries and more after the jump.
Estimates vary, but by 2020 there could be over 30 billion devices connected to the Internet. Once dumb, they will have smartened up thanks to sensors and other technologies embedded in them and, thanks to your machines, your life will quite literally have gone online.

It's no secret that companies are consistently increasing the amount of intel they collect on Internet users in order to target ads effectively, but have you ever wondered what that information is valued at? One user, who's been unashamedly hiding from advertisers by using blockers, has decided to calculate just how much money giving up his privacy could make him.
Despite arguments that privatization makes the American health system the best, 26 other countries' are better; it's no coincidence there are more large earthquakes occurring as drilling has increased; meanwhile, artist Nickolay Lamm shows us what a real, healthy Barbie would look like with his latest work. These discoveries and more after the jump.
By 2014, the Obama administration will have deported more people than were expelled from 1892 to 1997; a majority of Californians believe that increasing the number of guidance counselors in schools would be more beneficial for safety than adding armed police officers; and while some see the fall of print journalism as a tragedy, others see it as an opportunity. These discoveries and more after the jump.

Find Out About "Look Who's Cooking" 2013
Moms are their own worst enemies when it comes to stress.
Taking a look back at the "school lunch" ..... smell the memories :)
It's been almost a year since we first heard about Patricia Krentcil, the "tanning mom", who allegedly allowed her 5-year-old daughter to catch some artificial rays in a NJ tanning booth.
It's becoming more and more common. In fact, about one in five high school boys has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
Random drug testing of middle school students is an effective tool in preventing substance abuse in the future according to a seven-year study by The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ) and Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind.
"Better Homes and Gardens" magazine has a list for parents. Maybe it's a list that we should try to avoid.....try being the key word.
