Recently in these pages, David Bryfman warned about the danger of giving away various things in order to facilitate Jewish continuity in an age of assimilation.
The Taglit-Birthright trips, which allow young Jews to go to Israel for 10 days are probably the best-known examples, but Jewish communities are experimenting with numerous other ones. Two weeks ago, my synagogue decided to make religious school free for children ranging from 3 to 5 year old in order to spur folks to prioritize attendance and participation. We also benefit from the amazing PJ Library, which sends a book or music CD to young Jewish children each month. I love this program. To be sure, not every selection is a winner with my little boys, but I'm thrilled that we have this here in Tallahassee.
Bryfman, by contrast, seems unnerved by the fact that donors and institutions might want to eliminate the cost of participating in Jewish life. Isn't there a problem, he asks, when people have no "skin" in the game?
I too can see some of the possible downsides. But the problem with this argument is that it assumes (perhaps like too many economists) that money is the only way to put skin in the game. Time, enthusiasm and support are other moral currencies in which people may pay, and not necessarily immediately, but backward and forward over the course of their lives. Especially for young families and young adults who are still figuring out what role religious and cultural affiliation will play in their lives, I see the subsidization of experience, ritual and education as an important investment that may pay off in the future. Freebies might not succeed for everyone, but they will for some. Personally, I continue to think of my year working on religious pluralism and studying philosophy in Israel after college (sponsored by the Dorot Foundation) as one of the great gifts I have received from Jewish institutional sources. I view that year as having been more critical to shaping my adult life than the sum of my college experience or childhood parochial education was. If every Diaspora Jew who wanted to do that kind of extended immersive experience in Israel could do so without fear of going into debt or penury, what would be so wrong with that?
There is the worry, which Bryfman articulates, that giving things away for free might devalue Jewish experiences. But there are a few things worth thinking about in assessing this claim.
First, as alluded to above, there is the basic distributive justice aspect to think about: How many poor or middle-income folks are shut out from some aspects of Jewish communal life because of the cost?
Second, when a resource is given away to all for free, it creates the possibility of a solidarity benefit. These are benefits that can establish a common vocabulary and set of experiences for Jews across class and geography. That solidarity benefit is not likely to accrue in the absence of donors and institutions willing to make that happen for all.
Third, ask yourself: Who are the primary beneficiaries of the free books or religious school or the Israel programs? It's young people who otherwise would not be paying for these things anyway. Inasmuch as children and young adults are the primary audience, the connection between the "benefits" of having skin in the game and the resulting value would probably never have been established. In any case, if we assume that these kids would never have paid for these services to begin with, the value of the Jewish "good" being distributed has to be realized independent of the financial sourcing.
Next, let's assume Bryfman is right that "free" really does devalue the experience or value that otherwise might be associated with a non-free model. Even if the value of the Israel experience or the books or religious school is devalued (say, for the sake of argument, its value goes from 100% to 50% ), it does not mean it has no value.
At least I don't take Bryfman to be claiming that there is zero benefit resulting from free books and CDs to Jewish kids or Birthright trips. If there is some nonzero value to the community that arises from these programs, we still have reason to prefer them as long there aren't other ways of preserving Jewish continuity that are more effective or more efficient. Are there any? Maybe, but I find it hard to believe that the model of Jewish life that dominated over the last forty years (outside of Orthodox circles, which frequently used significant subsidization models) is the paragon of effectiveness.
So, if Bryfman wants us merely to "pause" before we embrace "free," fine. Everything we do as a community should be mindfully done. But the arguments and evidence for "reset" based on the putative downsides and dangers of "free" seem quite speculative and not particularly persuasive.

Young Kiwi shotputter Jacko Gill has been involved in a freak accident while recovering from a foot injury.
Gill injured his foot during competition last month, spraining it in three different places.
But his father Walter Gill says his son is a mess thanks to another incident.
"He was breaking up a dog fight and he's been bitten in the face by a dog and he's just had a couple of days in hospital so it's not going well so he can't lift or do anything at the moment because he's got a lot of stitches in the face, around his eyes."
Gill says Jacko will find out his ankle recovery plan on Monday.

Most of us know red sangria — with fruit a-bobbing in the pitcher — all too well.
Reál Sangria is now offering a pre-mixed white sangria, a relatively obscure spin on the classic, which uses white wine instead of red to achieve a lighter, fruitier taste.
This white sangria is relatively simple, but quite refreshing. The picture on the label really tells the story: Reál Sangria White tastes like white wine, fresh grape juice, and a heavy splash of orange. The fruit salad approach of many other sangrias is absent here; instead you get a brisk and moderately sweet concoction (alcohol level is strangely noted on the label as "7% to 10%") that works well with food (serve over ice) and goes down without much fuss. Not much complexity, to be sure, but with burgers and chips, maybe you don't need it.

The Pigeon Detectives, like the Kooks and the Fratellis, are one of those bands who appear to have risen without trace. Despite four Top 40 singles and a Top 3 placing for their 2007 debut album, Wait for Me, they have a low media profile. Yet over the weekend they played to 14,000 fans in their hometown of Leeds, at two open-air gigs in the city's Millennium Square.
It is a balmy evening, and there is an early festival vibe, though when some of the lads on the balconies of the flats overlooking the square start chucking plastic glasses at the crowd, the atmosphere threatens to switch from merriment to menace. Local heroes Kaiser Chiefs, here to suss out the competition, apparently predict a riot, disappearing into the night before the going gets too rough.
But then, the Pigeon Detectives attract the football contingent with their terrace-friendly anthems and chantable lyrics. They open their set with new single This Is an Emergency, a typically emphatic burst of rabble-rousing indie that suggests their new album, produced by Stephen Street, won't be a Morning Glory-style melancholy rumination on the nature of fame. Singer Matt Bowman works the audience like a pro, clambering over the PA and encouraging vigorous fist-waving at every opportunity.
But it is guitarist Oliver Main who is the star of the show. The quiet man, he is not only responsible for the pithily constructed songs, suffused with nostalgia (the band met at nursery school) about cheating girls and lovelorn boys, but it is his guitar, wiry and insidious, that travels best to the back of the square. With its ringing, trebly, almost U2-ish sound, Keep On Your Dress is one of the new Main tunes that will elicit talk of his increased compositional sophistication. But really, it is perky punk-pop all the way.

Review of nucleic acid structures
Amino Acyl tRNA Synthetases
Ribosome Structure
|Note to RPI students: Familiarity with basic concepts of molecular biology is assumed. These include the nature of the genetic code, the maintenance of genes through DNA replication, the transcription of information from DNA to mRNA, and the translation of mRNA into protein. Our discussion will start with the material on RNA structure. Basic information is summarized in the first part of these notes, and is covered in more detail in Chapters 29-31 and pages 1285-1291 of Biochemistry, 3rd Edition by Voet & Voet.
|Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Each nucleotide includes a base, either a purine (adenine, guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine, uracil, thymine). See diagram at right and Table 5-1 p. 86. Some nucleic acids contain modified bases. Examples of these are given at right and on p. 1294.
|In a nucleotide, e.g., adenosine monophosphate (AMP), the base (e.g., adenine) is bonded to a ribose sugar, which in turn has a phosphate in ester linkage to the 5' hydroxyl, as shown at right.
|Nucleic acids have a backbone of alternating phosphate and ribose moieties. Phosphodiester linkages form as the 5' phosphate of one nucleotide forms an ester linkage with the 3' hydroxyl of the adjacent nucleotide in the chain. A short stretch of RNA is shown at right.
Hydrogen bonds link two complementary nucleotide bases on separate nucleic acid strands, or on complementary portions of the same strand. The conventional base pairs are between A & U (or T) and between C & G, as shown in Fig. 5-12 p.88 and below.
In the diagram at left, H-bonds are shown in red. Relative bond lengths are inexact.
The image at right is based on X-ray crystallography of tRNAGln (PDB file 1GTR). H atoms are not shown.
Secondary structure: Base pairing over extended stretches of complementary base sequences in two nucleic acid strands stabilizes secondary structure, such as the double helix of DNA (p. 87, 1108). Stacking interactions between adjacent hydrophobic bases in the double helix, contribute to stabilization of such secondary structures. Each base interacts with its neighbors above and below, in the ladder-like arrangement of base pairs in the double helix, e.g., of DNA.
The genetic code is based on the sequence of bases along a nucleic acid. The standard genetic code is summarized in the Table below. Each codon, consisting of a sequence of 3 bases in mRNA, codes for a particular amino acid, or for chain termination. Some amino acids are specified by two or more codons. Synonyms (multiple codons specifying the same amino acid) in most cases differ only in the third base. Similar codons tend to code for similar amino acids (e.g., codons for the two acidic amino acids Asp & Glu). Thus effects of mutation are minimized.

*Met also codes for initiation.
The genetic code is read during translation via adapter molecules, tRNAs (transfer RNAs) that have 3-base anticodons complementary to codons in mRNA.
"Wobble" during reading of the mRNA allows some tRNAs to read multiple codons that differ only in the third base (p. 1307-1308). There are 61 codons specifying 20 amino acids. Minimally 31 tRNAs are required for translation, not counting the tRNA that codes for chain initiation. Mammalian cells produce more than 150 tRNAs.
|RNA structure:
Most RNA molecules usually have secondary structure, consisting of stem and loop domains.
|The "cloverleaf"
model of tRNA emphasizes the two major types of secondary structure,
stems and loops. Transfer RNAs
typically include many modified bases,
particularly in loop domains.
RNA tertiary structure depends on interactions of bases at distant sites.
|tRNAs have an
L-shaped tertiary structure. At right is the structure of tRNAPhe, determined by crystallographic
analysis (PDB file1TRA). See also p. 1295-1296.
Extending out from the "acceptor stem," the 3' end of each tRNA has the sequence CCA. The appropriate amino acid is attached to the ribose of the terminal adenine residue (A) at the 3' end of the tRNA, shown in red.
The loop with the anticodon is at the opposite end of the L shape.
An example of non-standard H bond interactions that help to stabilize the L-shaped tertiary structure of a tRNA is shown in ball & stick (left) and spacefill (right) displays (based on Nucleic Acid Database file 1TN2). H atoms are not shown. For other examples see p. 1118, 1296.
Some other RNAs, including viral RNAs and segments of ribosomal RNA, fold in pseudoknots, tertiary structures that mimic the 3D structure of tRNA. Pseudoknots are similarly stabilized by non-standard H-bond interactions.

|Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases catalyze linkage of the appropriate
amino acid to each tRNA. The 2-step reaction is summarized at right and
In step 1, an oxygen atom of the amino acid a-carboxyl
attacks the phosphorous of the initial phosphate of ATP.
This 2-step reaction catalyzed by Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases is spontaneous overall, because the concentration of PPi is kept low by its hydrolysis, catalyzed by Pyrophosphatase.
There is generally a different Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase (aaRS) for each amino acid. Accurate translation of the genetic code depends on attachment of each amino acid to an appropriate tRNA. Each aaRS recognizes its particular amino acid and tRNAs coding for that amino acid.
Domains of tRNA recognized by an aaRS are called identity elements (see Fig. 32-14 p. 1299). Most identity elements are located in the acceptor stem and anticodon loop. Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases arose early in evolution. Early aaRSs probably recognized tRNAs only by their acceptor stems.
There are two families of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase (aaRSs), designated Class I & Class II. Two different ancestral proteins evolved into the two classes of aaRS enzymes, which differ in the architectures of their active site domains. They bind to opposite sides of the tRNA acceptor stem, resulting in aminoacylation of a different hydroxyl of the tRNA. See also Fig. 32-20 p. 1303.
Explore at right an Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase with its bound substrate tRNAGln.
Some amino acids are modified after being linked to a tRNA.
Other roles of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases:
Below is a summary of the composition of E. coli ribosomes and mammalian cytoplasmic ribosomes. (See also p. 1310, 1317.) S values refer to sedimentation coefficients. Eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes are larger and more complex than prokaryotic ribosomes. Eukaryotic mitochondrial and chloroplast ribosomes differ from both of the examples shown.

|Structures of the large and small subunits of bacterial and eukaryotic
ribosomes have been determined,
by X-ray crystallography and by cryo-electron microscopy with image
Consistent with predicted base pairing, X-ray crystal structures indicate that ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) have extensive secondary structure (p. 1311 and at right).
|At right are images of the E. coli ribosome, reconstructed from electron density maps obtained by three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopy.
The large subunit is colored cyan, while the small subunit is pale yellow. At left is a surface view. At right is a cut-away view showing the position of messenger RNA (schematically represented as orange beads), as well as P- and E-site tRNAs (based on x-ray structures, shown in green & yellow). The elongation factor EF-G (to be discussed in the next class) is colored blue. This figure was provided by Dr. Joachim Frank, whose laboratory at the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health, carried out the cryo-EM and 3-dimensional image reconstruction.
Small ribosome subunit: In the translation complex, the mRNA threads through a tunnel within the small ribosomal subunit. The binding sites for tRNA are in a cleft in the small subunit (see above diagram). The 3' end of the 16S rRNA of the E. coli small subunit is involved in mRNA binding.
The small ribosomal subunit is relatively flexible, assuming different conformations. For example, the 30S subunit of a bacterial ribosome was found by cryo-EM and crystallographic analysis to undergo specific conformational changes when interacting with a translation initiation factor (see notes on protein synthesis).
|At right the 30S ribosomal subunit of a thermophilic bacterium is displayed by RasMol in spacefill and ribbons, with rRNA in monochrome and protein chains
in different colors. (For details see
article by B. T. Wimberly et al., 2000.)
The overall shape of the 30S ribosomal subunit is largely determined by the rRNA. The rRNA predominantly consists of double helices (stems) connected by single-stranded loops. The proteins generally have globular domains as well as long extensions that interact with rRNA and may stabilize interactions between RNA helices.
|Large ribosomal subunit:
At right is the crystal structure of the large subunit of a bacterial
ribosome. See also diagrams p. 1314-1316.
The interior of the large subunit is mostly RNA.
Proteins are distributed mainly on the surface. Some proteins have long tails that extend into the interior of the complex. These tails, which are highly basic, interact with the negatively charged RNA.
The active site domain for peptide bond formation is essentially devoid of protein. The peptidyl transferase function is attributed to the 23S rRNA, making this RNA a "ribozyme."
Protein synthesis takes place in a cavity within the ribosome, between the small and large subunits. Nascent polypeptides emerge through a tunnel in the large ribosome subunit. The tunnel lumen is lined with rRNA helices and some ribosomal proteins.
Catalysis of protein synthesis and movement of the ribosome relative to messenger RNA are accompanied by changes in ribosome conformation. Cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallographic studies, carried out in the presence and absence of initiation and elongation factors as well as inhibitors of protein synthesis, have revealed conformational changes in rRNA. Thus rRNA participates in conformational coupling in addition to its structural and catalytic roles.
tRNAs also undergo substantial conformational changes within their ribosomal binding sites during protein synthesis.

Hi guys,
I'm going to be down in the San Diego area visiting family next month, and will be available during the week of the 19th to the 23rd to do a feature shoot for Subiesport. I'll have access to my brother's car, so I can get as far north as Orange/Santa Ana before not knowing where the hell I am
While this is pretty much an open invitation to whoever has a car in mind (your own or someone else's), please keep in mind that I'm looking for cars that truly stand out. Thus, don't take it personally if I tell you that a car you nominate isn't good enough for a feature spread in the magazine. I'm probably the most highly-selective of the Subiesport crew, and given past cars we've featured, we're looking for cars of that caliber or better.
If you have a car to nominate, please reply here or send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com Pics are required...I won't schedule a feature shoot just on a mod list alone.

As the warm weather truly wanes here in Montreal, our heralded free outdoor activities are slowly replaced by free indoor activities – so dress for both this October. Indoors and out, there's much to see and hear: modern art, interactive dance, jazz, movies and more.
(movement and light) As part of the great Musée d'art Contemporain Quebec Triennial 2011: The Work Ahead of Us exhibition, artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer lights up the Quartier des Spectacles throughout October with a major installation work called Intersection articulée. Architecture relationnelle 18, and until the beginning of January, Place des Arts' Espace culturel Georges-Émile-Lapalme hosts Lynne Marsh's video installation The Philharmonie Project (Bruckner: Symphony No. 5, movements 1 & 4). The Museum's Triennial exhibition is also free to explore every Wednesday evening from 5 to 9 p.m.
(new cinema and u2) The Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinéma, on screens around town October 12–23, offers two free screenings of musical documentary U2: From the Sky Down, directed by Davis Guggenheim, October 13 at 11:45 p.m. and October 19 at 3 p.m. at the Latin Quarter Cinema – get tickets at festival headquarters (175 President Kennedy), along with tickets to all the fest's regular film screenings. Also check out other Festival du Nouveau Cinéma events, like their opening party on October 12, a performance by Duchess Says on October 13, screenings of cellphone-shot films via collective Vidéo Femmes, and artist Rebecca Adorno's interactive audio installation The Empty City, located at Eastern Bloc as part of the FNC Lab section.
(historic heights) Famed photographer Edward Burtynsky exhibits his newest – and perhaps timeliest, as far as environmental movements go – exhibition, Oil at Montreal's McCord Museum. The 56 large-scale colour photographs show stark images of how our planet has been touched in all ways by the oil industry. The museum is free to the public every Wednesday evening. And if you've got an iPhone, the McCord has an app for you (and it's free, of course): MTL Urban Museum unveils the history behind 150 sites around town, right before our eyes. All the images can also be seen as part of the museum's permanent collection.
(toe-tappin' jazz) The "5-à-7" early-evening socializing tradition is honoured by L'Off Jazz Festival, October 7–15. Take in free shows by local jazz musicians performing in duos, trios and quartets every day at 5 p.m. at Dièse Onze (4115A St-Denis): October 8, it's the versatile Trio Jean-François Groulx; October 9, upright bassist Adrian Yedady leads a quartet; October 11, the Brazilian sound of Trio Bruxo and David Ryshpan; October 12, the Alexandre Côté Quintet; October 13, the elegantly traditional Cameron Wallis Quartet; October 14, the Chet Doxas Trio plays with NYC's Matt Stevens; and on October 15, energetic pianist Eric Harding helms a quartet.
(dance together) Every month, Place des Arts, part of the Quartiers des Spectacles, invites the public to participate in a different dance as part of their program Le Bal du Dimanche: this month, on October 23 at 2 p.m., it's the merengue! Join choreographer Chantal Dauphinais and learn the basics of the dance style as a live band plays along. Also at Place des Arts, from 5:15–5:45 every day until October 21, see Solo 30×30, an in-situ dance work by dancer and choreographer Paul-André Fortier, who, among the crowds of people passing through, coming home from work, heading to dinner, meeting friends, will dance in silence for 30 minutes.
(halloween treats) Montreal loves to make a big deal out of Halloween – as if we really need an excuse to dress up and act wild and crazy? Well, Halloween let us take our antics to the next level anyway. With parties in bars and clubs all over town all weekend, October 31 might seem like it's just for the kids and trick-or-treating, but if you're up for some outdoor time in one of Montreal's most diverse gardens (before it's all covered in snow), check out the last day of The Great Pumpkin Ball at the Montréal Botanical Garden .
(falling for jazz) Montreal's reputation as a jazz town is backed by The Montreal Jazz Festival's Bistro Le Balmoral, a no-cover, a late-night jazz club every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. The weekend of October 7 brings the Brazilian beats of Isaac Net and Elie Haroun. The weekend of October 13, see Jeff Johnston, Duo Félix Stüssi & Daniel Lessard and Yoel Diaz. Flamenco duo René & Isabelle kick off the weekend of October 20, with Flamencuras. And J.D. Slim plays October 28.

The Anti-Stimulus In Pictures: Any Questions?
posted at 7:39 pm on July 19, 2009 by directorblue
That the Democrats' "Stimulus Package" would fail — utterly and completely — was easy to predict. Consider the following unemployment charts, courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Encarta, which were modified to include major alterations in government tax or spending policy.
In February of 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson — a Democrat — signed the "JFK Tax Cuts" into law. Upon executing the cuts, Johnson stated:
There is no asset more precious to freedom. There is no guarantee more vital to liberty and a robust American economy. No one can bury us or bluff us or beat us so long as our economy remains strong. No economic system anywhere has ever had the success of the American economy by placing maximum reliance on the initiative and the creative energies of individual businessman and workers we have created here in our land, the most prosperous nation in the history of the world.
Kennedy and Johnson sounded more like modern conservative pundits than today's Marxist-in-Chief.
They would be pariahs in the modern Democrat Party.

Fog forcing Springs traffic lights to malfunction
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Utilities wants drivers to be aware of a problem with traffic light signals Saturday that's being blamed on the weather.
CSU leaders said fog across town is affecting traffic sensors and lights are not cycling through normally.
The problems are expected to continue until the fog disappears.
Drivers are encouraged to make sure that a light is malfunctioning before ignoring the red light and proceeding when traffic is clear.
Colorado traffic laws state that drivers should treat inoperative traffic lights like a flashing yellow light only after coming to a stop and waiting an appropriate amount of time.
Drivers who observe malfunctioning traffic lights should contact the CSPD Communications Center non-emergency number at 444-7000 to report the problem. City Traffic Signals or CDOT will be promptly notified and can reset intersections.
