« Myths and facts about Jerusalem | In Israel, a nation brainwashes itself on the Gaza flotilla »
Peter Beinart offers the correct diagnosis, but the wrong cure
By Dan Fleshler | May 19, 2010
The blogosphere is buzzing about an essay by Peter Beinart in the New York Review of Books. Beinart convincingly denounces the Israel-right-or-wrong mantra of mainstream American Jewish organizations. He is justifiably worried about the future of "an American Zionist movement that does not even feign concern for Palestinian dignity."
But for all of its many good points, his essay betrays a surprising ignorance of American Jewish organizational life. Like me, he wants more American Jews who identify with Israel to publicly distance themselves from the occupation and Israeli policies they find abhorrent. But he apparently believes that traditional American Jews groups and their leaders have the capacity to completely change their stripes and do what he recommends. According to Beinart:
The heads of AIPAC and the Presidents' Conference should ask themselves what Israel's leaders would have to do or say to make them scream "no.†After all, Lieberman is foreign minister; Effi Eitam [a Netanyahu appointee who has openly recommended ethnic cleansing] is touring American universities; settlements are growing at triple the rate of the Israeli population; half of Israeli Jewish high school students want Arabs barred from the Knesset. If the line has not yet been crossed, where is the line?
There is no line and there never will be. Asking AIPAC and the most powerful players in the Presidents' Conference to publicly criticize Israeli policy is like asking a dog to play poker. Beinart is urging a violation of the laws of nature, of organizational DNA. AIPAC and the leaders of the Presidents Conference are–and probably always will be–guided by the credo that differences with Israel can be voiced behind closed doors but never in the open air.
Beinart concludes his essay by urging "American Jewish organizations" to bring to Hillel some of the young Israelis who are regularly protesting the expropriation of Arab housing in Sheikh Jarrah, in East Jerusalem. "What if this was the face of Zionism shown to America's young?" That is a lovely idea but it is mystifying that he somehow expects the hidebound Jewish establishment to make it real.
He ignores the recent growth of a ready-made alternative that already exists, a decidedly pro-Israel movement that is willing to be critical of Israeli policies that perpetuate the occupation. I am referring to J Street, Americans for Peace Now, Ameinu and other groups that are apparently not on Beinart's radar screen.
In Israel, he notes, 'humane, universalistic Zionism does not wield power. To the contrary, it is gasping for air." But he hasn't noticed that it is very much alive in the American Jewish community, and there are organizations doing a good job of spreading the credo of this blog, i.e., progressive and pro-Israel need not be an oxymoron. To be sure, the organizations in this camp are still smaller than the groups in the Israel-right-or-wrong crowd. But the organized dovish camp is growing, and it is growing louder. Beinart's smart essay correctly diagnoses the disease but desparately reaches for a cure among groups like the Presidents Conference and AIPAC, instead of identifying the real sources of hope and health in the American Jewish community.

I think you're a bit too close to this issue. I didn't read Beinart as expecting AIPAC and the Conference to change. The quote you used was a rhetorical point. He actually said he sees AIPAC and the Conference as being taken over by ultra-Orthodox, who he knows would certainly not listen to his request to highlight the Jewish student protesters in East Jerusalem.
It's not a sin of omission to leave J-Street and other pro-peace American Jewish groups out of his piece. That's not his angle here. His mention of his own family and children shows what really is his central focus. And you can't actually think that these groups are actually not on Beinart's radar. For one thing, I'm sure he gotten his share of criticism from the Jewish left over the course of his career. He knows it exists.

I've been told he told someone at Tablet magazine that he didn't know much about J Street. I think it is a sin of omission for precisely the reasons that I stated. So we must agree to disagree.

Okay, so the "humane, universalistic Zionism" is supposedly flourishing in America. So what? "Progressive" American Jews have little influence on what is going on, on the ground in Israel. At one time they tried to support the so-called "Peace camp" in Israel through organizations like "Americans for Peace Now" or "MERETZ-USA", but as has been seen, their Israeli counterpoints have been weakened politically. Since that has failed, they now think they get their savior, Obama, to force Israel to do what they want. Do they ask themselves WHY Israelis have by and large rejected the "peace camp"'s policies. Maybe the thousands of Israelis killed or wounded in the Palestinian's suicide bomber war had something to do with that. Since these experience are not seared into the memories of "progressive" Jews living in Lowell, Massachussets, Evanston, Illinois and Vancouver, BC (these are the homes of three ideological anti-Zionist Reconstructionist rabbis who deny any right for a Jewish/Zionist state to exist), their congregations can work up more sympathy for the Palestinians who supported that war and the ongoing racist incitement against Jews and Israel and their attempts to delegitimize Israel than we in Israel can.
Jewish assimilation is an old story. It goes back thousands of years. It is happening today in the US and other countries. Beinert is simply pointing this out. However, it must be remembered that the Six-Day War brought a lot of assimilated American AND Soviet Jews to a renewed Jewish identity and committment to Zionism, , almost out of the blue, without the hang-ups of trying to juggle a phony, "progressive" universalism with a belief in Zionism.
Add to this the fact that the large majority of supporters of Israel in the US are non-Jews, who also don't have these "progressive" Jewish hangups, so I am not worried about the situation in the US.

Found the Tablet piece. Let's say we're both right. He clearly was motivated to write it by his children and his Orthodox experience. And he doesn't know much about J Street as an organization, but he certainly knows that there is a pro-peace Jewish movement in the US. My point is that I don't think it is a fault of the NYRB piece to not mention J Street. That was not his angle.

Missed you at the salute to Israel parade Dan. It was a lot fun. Imagine it, Hundreds of thousands of Jews not consumed with angst and guilt. I know it would have throw off your equilibrium and its not the kind of thing you would go to but it really was fun.

To Beinart's credit, he is too distant from Jewish organizational life to understand how mediocre, robotic and supine it is. What a blessing.

Bill Pearlman:
Here is what a leading former IAF officer is quoted as saying about an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear infrastructure in "This Week" in Ha'aretz.
While the prime minister continues to speak of "Never again" and the defense minister keeps proclaiming that "all options are on the table," behind the scenes, and in private, both the military and civilian echelons are singing a completely different tune. They grasp the enormous strategic, political, economic and military difficulties that will surely arise in the event of an attack on Iran.
One of the first to embrace a more sober view of the situation is Brig. Gen. (res. ) Relik Shafir, who until recently occupied the third-most important post in the IAF hierarchy, and who in his younger days took part in the attack on the reactor in Iraq. As far back as five years ago, Shafir let me in on the painful truth: The IAF would have great difficulty in repeating its success in Iraq if it were ordered to strike Iran.
"The Iranians have learned the lessons from the attack on the Iraqi reactor," Shafir said. "In Iraq, the entire nuclear program was concentrated in the reactor. The Iranians on the other hand have built a number of nuclear facilities in different areas around the country. Some of them are located in eastern Iran. They have 'hardened' their facilities by building them underground or by placing them in bunkers. In all honesty, the IAF lacks a real strategic capability to bomb distant targets over a prolonged period of time while using the necessary level of firepower."
The author goes on to quote Gen. Dan Halutz's memoir to the effect that Iran's nuclear potential is a global problem that must be solved globally.

The wrong crowd : an online documentary and analytical contextualisation
Beattie, Debra (2003) The wrong crowd : an online documentary and analytical contextualisation. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Debra Beattie Thesis (PDF 934kB)
This doctoral study comprises two parts. 75 per cent of the total weight of the submission consists of the creative component, the writing, directing and producing of a moving-image documentary in an online environment (supplementary material includes the script). Cutting edge technology (QTVR 'movies' and Live Stage Professional software) was used to create an immersive cinematic experience on the net. The Wrong Crowd can be viewed either online at www.abc.net.au/wrongcrowd or offline via a CD Rom (the latter includes the radio play 'Death of a Prostitute' which was excised from the version published via ABC Online because of legal concerns on the part of the ABC lawyers). The second part of the doctorate is the analytical contextualisation, comprising 25 per cent of the submission. This part examines the critical literature on the nature of the documentary form, documentary as history, cultural memory and the autobiography as history. Documentary exists as a truth-claim. History also embraces the search for evidence. The history documentary has a television form from which the online version is derived. The nature of the internet as a delivery platform for the moving image is discussed with reference to he truth claim as founded in the visible evidence - the news coverage - the 'this really happened'. The evidence however is open to interpretation for the historical record and is retold to suit the present power relations (the funding bodies, the commissioning editors, etc). In a CD Rom and more so online, this tendency towards individual interpretation is amplified to the point where the viewer can participate in the construction of the argument via a navigable database. Visually, the change from the temporal montage of the linear television documentary to spatial montage of the windows interface has led us to reconnect with computer-based moving images as a form of animated painting. Conventional screen theories of engagement and reception are invoked to aid in the discussion of modified cinematic conventions of editing and framing within the online form. The case-study of one of the inaugural Australian Film Commission funded online documentaries, The Wrong Crowd: Inside the Family Outside the Law, is a personal history narrative that intersects with Queensland police history from the 1950s to the late 1970s at the moments of inquiries into issues of police brutality and corruption.

I recently read a great article from Family First on how to be a good mom and I wanted to share it with you!
The Key to Being a Good Mom
With all the buzz recently from Amy "Tiger Mom" Chua, Jennifer Moses, and others, about what parenting philosophy is appropriate for raising good kids, it's difficult to figure out what's right. Thankfully, one M.D. has a very simple answer.
Dr. Meg Meeker, author of the new book "The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers, Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose and Sanity" (Ballentine Books, March 8, 2011, ISBN 978-0345-51806-4), says the answer is within each individual mom no matter what your kids do – strive for happiness yourself and everything else follows.
Even before our children are born, we live in fear, constant fear. Fear we will do something wrong. Fear we will hurt them somehow. Fear we will produce bad kids. Fear of failure.
Meeker, a 25-year physician and pediatrician, says it all starts with giving birth. Some moms fear that if they don't give birth "naturally" (my quotation marks since there is very little natural about a hospital birth), without drugs or at home or in the water, or something along that line, they will feel guilty about going the easy route. It's almost as if someone will call you a wuss for having a baby.
Then moms worry about breastfeeding. Is the baby eating enough? What if I have to give him a bottle instead of nursing? Did I nurse long enough? Should I go back to work or stay home?
Our heads are filled with the self-destructive dialog that breaks us down and makes us feel bad, right from the beginning of our children's lives. "Moms are paralyzed to do what's good and right," Meeker tells Family First.
Our goal should be, according to Meeker, to raise a healthy 25 year old adult. By that, she means we need to worry less about the journey and think about the big picture. If they drink one bottle of formula in the middle of the night at 3 months, do you think they will still be able to decide what kind of car insurance they need someday?
When you worry less about the details, it simplifies your life and helps you be a happier person. This is what is different about Meeker's book than many of the other motherhood books that have been the buzz lately. She asks, "Do you think they care if your brownies are from scratch, from a mix or from the store? No, they just want to eat a brownie with you."
Meeker says she very much wanted to be clear on the subtitle of the book – "Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose and Sanity"- because to be a happy, relaxed, in-the-moment kind of mom, you have to feel good about yourself.
So many times we worry about what we are not giving our children when we should concentrate on what we do give them – our love, our time, our undivided attention. Meeker says children just want to play with us and enjoy time with us. They even want us to discipline them.
Being a friend to them, and not a parent, does them a great disservice, she says. They desire boundaries because it shows we care what happens. While most parents are terrified of upsetting their children (Think Veruca Salt from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"), the truth is that we need to give them limits and say "no."
Meeker referenced a study she knows of where 20-something male prison inmates were interviewed. The general conclusion was that the majority of the inmates stated that they wished someone had cared enough to say "stop it" when they were screwing up, before they were incarcerated.
If that doesn't motivate you to say "no" to things and feel good about it, I'm not sure what will. Meeker says, "You have your whole life to be your kid's friend." Once they have grown into their own identity that you helped shape, you will have a friend for life.
Meeker details her own experience with her oldest daughter. They butted heads until her daughter was 10 or 11 and then, her daughter got it – Mom's in charge. Meeker says the teen years were a breeze with her. She even coaches parents that if you discipline with love, your children will stay close to you; it won't push them away as many parents fear.
So, relax, have fun, and go with the flow. Your kids are always watching what you do and how your react. They read your face and know if you are paying attention or not. If you are stressed, angry, competitive, resentful of your peers, or fearful of your children, they know it. If you are happy, relaxed and know who you are, you will have happier children and a happier life.
Please read more about Dr. Meeker.

We are having a hospital delivery because there is not 1 midwife (that has MD backup) in the state of CT that will do a multiples homebirth, nor will the only 1 birth center in the state allow multiple deliveries. I am seeing a practice that is all midwives but it is hospital policy that in the case of multiple births, third stage of labor/pushing must happen in an OR because they want to be prepared for an emergency c section. I am not happy about any of this but I am working on accepting it. That being said, these are the options that have been offered to me:
I have been told I can have an epidural placed and not turned on to be used in the event of an emergency c section or I can do nothing and risk having to be put under general anesthesia if I need an emergency c. I don't react well to anesthesia and it takes me a long time to wake up and I feel lousy for hours-days afterward so I am really scared of the general option but I also am afraid of the epidural needle side effects (nerve damage, HA's etc). Plus if I have it placed already I think I would be more likely to just have it turned on which I really don't want to do.
As of now we have decided to have the epi placed and not turned on but I am still struggling with that choice. Any thoughts?

Hmm, I would have thought CN would have more options.
Here's my $0.02:
The OR is a pretty standard requirement. Not that I'd like it either (it was just one of the many factors that kept me home with a MW for my twins) but it's probably not worth fighting about.
But if you're inclined to go med-free, I would strongly urge you to skip the epi catheter. Why place it in if you may not need it? As a first time mom, chances are you'll have plenty of warning if you need one. Plenty of time to change your mind and go with it if you find that's what you want. And general is an option in the dire emergencies, but unlikely to be needed.
Walking around and choosing my position was really important, and a catheter in the back doesn't sound like fun. Labor for FTMs is hard enough.
I'd suggest you skip the catheter if you can. And stay home as long as possible!
The OR policy is the same here. There is a possibility of having the first twin in a regular delivery room and then transferring to an OR for the second, but I'm not sure what our plan will be yet. Also, none of the midwives in my city will do a homebirth for twins either...boo.
We faced the same decision regarding the epidural and did a lot of thinking and research on it. The hospital where I gave birth had a 96% epidural rate (it was a high risk clinic) and I knew that they were going to be pushy about the epidural. I really, really didn't want one. So we decided to risk it and go without, knowing that if things went wrong, I would have to be put under general anesthesia. I had a beautiful natural vaginal birth. I think it depends on your level of comfort and your situation when you go into labour (are both babies vertex? how dilated are you? how are you handling the pain? etc.) For us, the high liklihood of having the natural birth I wanted made it worth the risk of possibly having to be put under if anything unlikely happened.
Married to my love since 08/12/10, mama to E 04/06/01 and twin girls M and Z 01/08/11
We are a family! Expecting #4 and #5 in September - what a surprise!
my hospital had the same OR policy for twins and i decided to pick that as one of my battles.
i felt strongly that being in that harsher place would be a lousy thing for me and i was already bummed enough for being in the hospital in the first place. i was pretty impressed that i got a doc, after talking to me for a while, to agree that as long as i was vertex vertex i could stay in a normal L&D room since i pointed out that the L&D OR was about 47 feet down the hall and they could get me there faster than they could done their gloves i bet. basically i argued that my being in the next room over what not the thing that was going to slow down the time between deciding that i needed a c section and me getting one. the rest of the prep took just as long. they agreed, i was impressed, this was a strict old fashion military hospital.
they also did not push for a epi, i originally chose not to get one. after 20 hours on Mag Sul. for pre E level BP and then needing a light dose of pit to counter act the relaxing nature of Mag. (it is also what they give to stop PTL), i decided to get the tiniest dose of one to let me dealt with the pit and decided to take a nap (it was actually my request for a tiny dose that pissed the guy off, he said i was wasting his time not to get the full thing! i reminded him that i was the one birthing and that he could get as much of one as he wanted when it was his turn to birth a kid).
after a 2 hour nap i had them turn it off and wait for it to wear off before i started pushing. it was a bit of a pain to have in (we left it in because why not at that point) but i was not able to get up and walk anyhow because they were scared that Mag makes women pass out. so it was an easier choice since that freedom was the big one i had already lost.
in the end i pushed both babies out blissfully (pain)unmedicated and in 16 minutes for both. after a great first 7 hours of labor at home and a kinda shitty boring 20+ in the hospital, the last few hours were rocking great again. i was so happy how i not only did not get caught in too much of a cascade of intervention, but actually managed to back out of the whirlwind and continue to make healthy choices after accepting a few very needed interventions at the beginning. (1. being in the hospital in the first place, a last minute choice with the blood pressure sky rocketing and 2. getting put on Magnesium sulfate to help stave off BP related seizures)
anyway I'm rambling, but the gist was, you might poke around and see what you can get them to agree to with the OR, and in any case remember that negotiation will get you a lot if you do it properly with a good doula or avocate by your side and with respect for all sides.
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I had my epi placed at the very last minute, no drugs other than the test thing that makes your toes tingle. As in, they placed it in the OR after I'd been pushing in the L&D room for half an hour. This was a bit late, but the risk they were worried about was vaginal delivery for A, then C section for B, so the timing was fine. It was hard to sit still for, but I'm glad I was able to walk during the early parts of labor (which required negotiations...eventually we returned for monitoring every 20 minutes, then walked between. (or hung out in the shower between)
Talk to your doctor *a lot* beforehand. Get a doula if you can. If you don't want the standard, as people before me have said, you can often negotiate. It helps to know exactly what they're worried about and whether there are other ways around it.

Admissions Process
The admissions process begins with the first phone call or web inquiry and concludes with the admissions consultation, the face-to-face meeting with an admissions officer to assess readiness for admission. This process can take a week or a month (or longer), depending upon how quickly the following information can be completed and reviewed by an admissions officer.
Stages in the Admissions Process:
- Gather relevant clinical and medical information necessary to assess the appropriateness of the Riggs treatment approach.
- Review fee structure, payment policies, insurance reimbursement policy and need based fee reduction process with those individuals responsible for payment.
- Discuss the open setting, including the importance of maintaining an alliance and the nature of voluntary hospitalization with patient.
- Answer questions.
The admissions officer reviews all the information and, if Riggs seems potentially appropriate, makes an appointment for a consultation with possible admission. The final important step in this process is the admissions consultation. Eighty-five percent of those seen in admissions consultations are admitted.
The Admissions Process
An important note: Active substance use disorders seriously compromise self-examination and the ability to benefit from treatment. Active substance use at the time of consultation is the most frequent reason why patients who might otherwise be suitable for treatment at Riggs are turned away. We generally require that prospective patients with substance use disorders abstain from use of alcohol and other substances of abuse for 30 days prior to admission to Riggs, preferably from the moment of first hearing about this policy.

Drive lines interchangable?
As far as I understand (and I may be wrong) but the 1st gen F-bodies and the 2nd gen F-bodies have the same exact wheel base, so my question lies with will the drive line from a first gen Camaro/Firebird fit into a second gen Camaro/Firebird considering that they both have a Th350? I have searched everywhere and cant find an answer. I have looked to buy a new one but every place I have looked including Jeg's and Summit have them for 67-69 and 82-(93?) at any rate they totally skip over all second gen years. I have even tried looking up the length of the second gen drive line to compare lengths and I couldn't find it. (I am normally pretty good at finding what I am looking for) I thank you in advance for any help.
Should find what you need on this site/forum > http://www.nastyz28.com/
Ok, I will check it out. I have read a couple threads on there before but didn't find the information that I wanted. It never specifically said that the drive lines will interchange with each other. If I was home I would be able to go and measure the one that is on my other Firebird and compare it.

21 High Schools Identified as 'Struggling'
After the release of high school progress reports last week, city Education Department officials identified 21 struggling high schools and secondary schools that, because of their low performance, could be closed or subject to other interventions beginning next year.
The process of closing schools and opening new ones is several months long, and it begins each year with a list of possibilities that are narrowed down to certainties.
This year, the city is considering closing as an option for 21 high schools and secondary, 20 elementary and middle schools, and six charter schools. Though in the end it's unlikely that all of them will be phased out, city officials will begin holding meetings this fall at each of the schools to discuss what could happen.
Four of the secondary schools added to the list — Frederick Douglass Academy II, Academy Of Business And Community Development, Frederick Douglass Academy IV, and Brooklyn Collegiate — have only their middle school grades under consideration for closure.
City officials said they generated the list of high schools by looking at their progress report grades, which are heavily dependent on their graduation rates and Regents scores. They also considered schools' quality reviews and other factors, they said.
The charter schools the city has identified either had low grades on their progress reports, below-average test scores, or are on probation for a variety of issues.
This year, 60 high schools scored low enough on the progress report to meet the city's standard for closure.
Among the 21 that made the struggling schools list are high schools that are in their first year of a federal school improvement grant program. Washington Irving High School, Herbert H. Lehman High School, and Grace Dodge Career and Technical Education High School are all "transformation" schools, meaning they can receive additional money for three years for programs to boost student performance.
In a statement, Marc Sternberg, deputy chancellor for portfolio planning, said the department is using the list to begin discussions with schools about where their weaknesses lie. These meetings have already been held at many of the low-performing elementary and middle schools on the city's list, he said. And at several of these schools, parents and teachers are beginning their own campaign against what they view as the threat of closing.
Last year, the city's panel for educational policy voted to close 27 schools.
The follow are the 21 high schools and secondary schools, and six charter schools, the city identified on Wednesday as struggling:

Little research has been done on the health effects of synthetic cathinones, commonly known as bath salts, but health officials have seen enough to know they pose serious health risks. Because these synthetic drugs are relatively new, there has not been enough time to study their long-term effects.

However, reports from emergency departments and poison control centers of adverse reactions to the drugs have been numerous enough for the National Institute on Drug Abuse to term bath salts "a serious and growing public health and safety issue."

What Are Bath Salts?

Not to be confused with products like Epson salts that are actual bathing aids, synthetic cathinones are marketed as "bath salts" to disguise their real purpose as recreational drugs that can produce euphoria and increased sociability and sex drive.

The drugs are sold under brand names like "Ivory Wave," "Vanilla Sky," "Purple Wave," "Red Dove," "Scarface," "Blue Silk," "Zoom," "Bloom," "Cloud Nine," "Ocean Snow," "Lunar Wave," "White Lightning," and "Hurricane Charlie."

As law enforcement began to crack down on the sale of bath salts, the drugs recently have been sold in stores and online as plant food, jewelry cleaner, phone screen cleaner or "research chemicals." The packages are usually marked, "not for human consumption."

The products, mostly made in China, are also known as "fake cocaine" because they mimic the effects of that drug.

No Longer Legal

Originally promoted as legal cocaine, the drugs have now been declared a Schedule I substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and laws have been passed banning their sale by many cities and states, after hospitals and physicians began reporting numerous cases of patients with adverse effects from using the drugs.

Bath Salts and the Brain

Chemically, the ingredients in bath salts products are closer to amphetamine than cocaine. There are many different synthetic cathinones used to make bath salts, but the most common are 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), mephedrone, and methylone. All of them have been shown to raise the level of the neurotransmitter dopamine in brain circuits regulating reward and movement, much like methamphetamine and cocaine.

However, one study revealed that MDPV, the most common synthetic cathinone used in bath salts, raised the dopamine levels in the brain like cocaine, but was 10 times more potent.

Additionally, another study has found that mephedrone and methylone can raise the level of serotonin in the brain similar to the way MDMA (Ecstasy) and LSD affects the brain, producing hallucinations.

Health Effects of Bath Salts

Reports from hospital emergency rooms and poison control centers across the United States have recorded patients experiencing paranoia, agitation and hallucinatory delirium, according to the NIDA. Some users have exhibited psychotic and violent behavior.

Several deaths have been reported as a result of using bath salts.

Other symptoms reported by healthcare providers include:

Racing heart

High blood pressure

Chest pains

Panic attacks

Excited delirium

Dehydration

Kidney failure

Potentially Addictive

Some research has shown that synthetic cathinones are potentially highly addictive. In a study with rats, scientists found escalating self-administration patterns of MDPV similar to those produced by methamphetamine.

Users have reported intense craving for more of the drug and indications are that frequent consumption of bath salts could possibly induce dependence, tolerance and strong withdrawal symptoms - reactions usually associated with addictive drugs.

Other Hazards

Bath salts containing synthetic cathinones are sold as alternatives to their illegal counterparts - amphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy - with the idea that they are "safer" than the illicit drugs. But the opposite may be true.

Synthetic cathinones may be potentially as additive as the illegal drugs, and moreover bath salts products might contain other ingredients which could produce their own adverse effects.

Health officials say this is one of the main dangers of using bath salts products, you never really know what you are getting.

Liege - A Party-Based Tactical RPG

This looks incredible, love the in-game sprites being used for cut scenes too.
Most iOS (and not only iOS I guess, but the lack of effort and wealth of crap is second to none on that platform) games suck but this is just a dude passionate about what he's doing and seemingly good at it too putting his game out on all the platforms he's able to. No reason to hate on it before seeing what he'll accomplish, especially with this start.
The Spiderweb games aren't any worse on iOS than they were on PC. Good retro CRPGs with next to no changes for the additional platform they're now getting published on.
There are many other great ports like that. And for meaty games that were on iOS first/only, Hunters 2 is a pretty good turn based strategy game, there are a few really good and complex 4x strategy games, roguelikes, and many of the board/card style games are also great and have as deep mechanics and as solid design as any.
Anyway, again, this looks great, and I feel similarly for it as I do for Telepath Tactics. Keep them underserved awesome genres going, all you talented folks.
That said, Kickstarter management is shitty and willingly allows scammers just to make an extra buck while reprimanding people who speak out against it so I'll just buy the game when that is an option and not give a dime to them, only to the developer (and whatever sales portal, if any is used, I guess).

SESSION RECAP: Executing the Strategic Plan. What's the real meaning and importance of a clear and executable strategic vision? How do you create the one your organization best needs? Vistage Chair Glen Hellman led a Private Advisory Board session on how to stay the course and ensure your own success, as well as your company's.
How do I disengage from day-to-day interaction with clients and dedicate more of my time the to strategic planning my company needs to grow?
Why It's Important
This leader often gets drawn into dealing with clients in a very hands-on fashion. This interaction is important; often, it initiates the business relationship. But not enough time is left to spend on the larger strategic planning, which would enable growth.
Clarifying Questions
- Is this the key strategic issue the business has?
- Are you getting the right types of clients in the first place? Can the volume accommodate it?
- Why did you get into the business, and what's your ultimate goal with it?
- Do you want to be involved with clients? Do you need to? The true answers should guide your decision how to allocate your time.
Suggestions / Solutions
- If it holds that importance, time spent working with clients should be part of the strategic plan, and integrated into the strategic plan.
- Determine your competitive advantage and how to add real value to your customers; that will allow you to focus on your strategic initiatives a few years out. (A strategy that was credited to Jim Alampi; see below.)
- Set a target; even if it proves unobtainable in the short term, to base future aspirations upon. Develop a vision.
Action Plan
This leader sees his next step as better articulating his strategic plan in a more realistic matter, with the goal of starting with a "clean quarter" in just one month.
How can I ensure that my strategic growth plan succeeds in expanding my company toward a specific goal in three years?
Why It's Important
The economic downturn hit the company hard; what it produced was no longer a priority for many clients. Previously, the company didn't need marketing; customers sought them out. Now, marketing is seen as necessary to get back to previous levels of business.
A planned acquisition will soon expand the company's revenue base, adding clients and employees, and a chance to embrace expansion.
The company is working toward a very aggressive goal — a 50-fold increase in current revenue.
Clarifying Questions
- What beyond the impending acquisition will work to increase your revenue?
- If you, as the owner, aren't doing the bulk of the strategizing, who is?
- Do you have a clearly defined customer niche that you're chasing?
- How has your business model changed so that the next economic downturn won't affect you as negatively as the most recent one has?
Suggestions / Solutions
- Set measurable goals — number of contacts, clients, etc. — and meet them.
- Determine what your real competitive advantage is. Think of yourself as you usually think towards your clients.
- Develop a marketing and branding ecosystem and strategy that ensures you won't face periods in the future where customers simply aren't coming to you.
Action Plan
It's agreed: This leader needs to focus on creating the best campaign in his company's history — for the sake of promoting his own business. A plan will be in place by the end of September.
Words of guidance from moderator Glen Hellman: How do you put your issue into a "how do I"? In other words, how do you transform the strategic hurdle you're currently facing into an actionable item — a question that involves an answer, and therefore a solution?
Session date: Aug 28, 2012

Pizza Guy Punished for Fighting Off Robbers
A Maryland pizza delivery driver said he was demoted because he fought off a group of teenage robbers – an apparent violation of company policy.
Sam Swicegood was making a Pizza Hut delivery several weeks ago in Glen Burnie when he was attacked by five teenagers who tried to rob him. Last month a co-worker was robbed at gunpoint in the same area.
At least one of the robbers punched Swicegood in the face. But the driver was able to fight off his attackers by using a fiberglass tent pole.
"Five people against one is not a good situation to be in," he told Fox News. "I thought I was going to die."
Police later found three of the attackers – a 13-year-old boy and two 14-year-olds. They were charged with robbery, second degree assault and reckless endangerment, according to the Capital Gazette.
Instead of rewarding his quick thinking, Swicegood said he was punished by Pizza Hut. The college student said he was demoted to the restaurant's kitchen staff. His hours and his pay were also slashed.
He said company officials told him he violated Pizza Hut's no weapon policy – and apparently the fiberglass tent pole was considered a weapon.
"I'm not saying we should arm all delivery drivers, but I'm saying that punishing delivery drivers for defending themselves as they're being attacked is unjust," he told Fox News.
Pizza Hut officials did not return calls seeking comment.
But local residents are siding with the former driver – posting comments on Fox-Baltimore's Facebook page.
"Drivers should never be placed in harm's way," one reader wrote. "They have every right to protect themselves."
"There you go," another reader added. "Punish law-abiding citizens for protecting themselves against criminals."
"Pizza Hut just lost a customer," wrote another.

The people of Libya are enjoying the wine of victory, but tomorrow might result in a hangover when it comes down to confronting issues of government and power. Banners in the street proclaim: "No Foreign Intervention-Libyans Can Do It Alone!" Powerful words from those at this moment feeling empowered with the fruits of victory. The bodies of Muammar Gaddafi and his son lay displayed for the world to see and reports indicate the former dictator was sodomized with a knife before death.
In death Gaddafi sent words of defiance and told the world his death will be viewed as a "badge of duty and honor." Forty years from now he might well be resurrected as a hero and patriot- Russian dictator Joseph Stalin is now, for some, a saint despite killing millions.
But, the central question is-who is in charge of the nation? Muslim clerics or secular forces?

NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES, May 13, 2013, Tribune Broadcasting and MGM Television (MGM) have joined forces on a new programming operations relationship for THIS TV, the 24/7 free digital network that features movies from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's vast library of over 4,000 titles.

Tribune To Program MGM Movie Network This TV
9 Comments
I want THIS TV in Colorado Springs, Co.!!
No, you don't. You'll find better movie titles in the DVD bargain bin at any Wal-Mart or Target.
Au contraire, my friend. I discovered this channel over a year ago and check it regularly for listings because, more often than not, I find forgotten gems from all over. Sure there's some stinkers, but I love this channel!
Wasn't THIS previously programmed by 50% owner Weigel Broadcasting? Does this change the ownership of the network?
"…Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's vast library of over 4,000 titles…"
So when are they going start airing some of the good movies from the aforementioned 4,000 titles?
This Friday, we're going to be treated to a Lou Ferrigno double feature, Hercules and The Adventures of Hercules.
But, then again, it is free.
Those 4,000 titles include the TV Library – which includes all of the ZIV shows – Be nice if they shows more than Sea Hunt and Highway Patrol all early morning filler.
Good news. ThisTV needs more sitcoms like Green Acres to replace a few of those made-for-TV movies.
Tom, THIS TV seriously needs to get their programming act together as they're continuing to air the wrong episodes versus the ones which they have actually listed in their program guides. Green Acres is a perfect example of this as to what happened this morning. They were supposed to air a Season 5 episode and for the second time in as many months, they aired a Season 1 episode in its place and it's just getting frustrating with the way this network is being programmed. There is really no way to reach them via phone and whenever you send a message to them on Facebook or e-mail, they never respond back or correct the problem.
It would be nice to have This TV in our area, we have over a hundred thousand people in our area and is still growing. A lot
of people live outside the city of Quincy, IL. Tis area is called the Tri state area, because it has other cities in the area that are in three different states, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa.

The Best Undergraduate B-Schools for MarketingGeoff Gloeckler
As part of the 2013 Best Undergraduate B-Schools ranking, Bloomberg Businessweek asked undergraduate business students from the Class of 2013 to tell us, via an online survey, about the full range of their business school experience, from getting in to getting a job. One section of the survey singles out specific aspects of the business program and asks the students to grade them on a scale from A to F. Over the next few weeks, we will publish the top 10 B-schools in each of 10 specialty areas, from accounting to entrepreneurship, culminating with publication of the entire undergraduate specialty ranking including 124 schools.
Today we look at marketing. At the top of the list is the College of William & Mary's Mason School of Business.
Within the business curriculum, marketing majors at Mason have a wide variety of both core courses and electives to choose from, including new classes that look specifically at "Creativity & Innovation" and "Sustainability Inspired Design." Both courses are taught in what is called the Design Studio, a teaching space that looks more like an industrial workshop or art studio than a classroom. Students sit on stools at makeshift tables and take notes and brainstorm on rolling whiteboards.
This classroom design reflects the way marketing is taught at Mason. Instead of approaching the area from a traditional textbook/lecture format in the classroom, marketing courses are experiential, with students engaging in semester-long simulations and working on projects with local clients. In the "Marketing Research" course, for instance, students conduct field research for local businesses through focus groups and online surveys, and then present their findings. Recent projects included a look at the market position of a new pub in town, the customer experience at a popular campus coffee shop, and understanding the behaviors of moviegoers.
Outside of class, many marketing students are members of the Student Marketing Association, which hosts industry speakers, consulting projects, job and internship search workshops, and an annual marketing networking trip to New York to visit companies and alumni in the marketing and advertising industries.
Washington University's Olin Business School and the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce round out the top three.
Top Undergraduate Business Schools for Marketing
|William & Mary (Mason)
|Washington U. (Olin)
|Virginia (McIntire)
|Pennsylvania (Wharton)
|Loyola – Maryland (Sellinger)
|Cornell (Dyson)
|Florida International (Landon)
|Arkansas (Walton)
|Elon (Love)
|Michigan (Ross)
Methodology: The ranking is based on student responses to the question asking them to rank their program's marketing offerings. Points are awarded for each response—one point for an A grade through five points for a grade of F—and then averaged for each school. If students did not have exposure to the area in question, they could answer NA, and their response was not included. The ranking is based on the average; schools with the lowest average are ranked the highest. The average marketing score for all 124 undergraduate business schools in the ranking was 1.41.

- Description
is a major protein component in the human body. Approximately one quarter of the proteins in the body compose collagen. Collagen maintains the strength and flexibility of our skin, connective tissue, ligaments, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, gum, teeth, eyes, blood vessels, nails and hair.
70% of the skin is collagen.
As we age, collagen production slows down. The skin inevitably loses its firmness and radiance. Signs of aging; enlarged pores, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, dry & sagging skin all reflect the body's loss of ability to build and maintain healthy collagen. This is largely due to lack of quality arterials and the reduced efficiency of the body processes. We do not have to settle for this condition or unhealthy skin.
FINE Collagen is derived from fish because it has the same basic molecular components. It helps the body to replenish its own collagen supply and boost collagen cell turnover, assisting the body in making younger-looking and firmer skin. With its premium quality and low molecular weight FINE collagen peptide has greater absorption and utilization than other collagen products
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
is also vital to skin. While collagen gives skin its firmness, it is the HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen. 50% of the HA in our body resides in the skin. Hyaluronic acid production decreases with age causing a reduction in moisture binding capacity, resulting in dry skin and weak joints.
HA, Collagen and Elastin are vital ingredients in maintaining the skin's layers and structure. HA acts as a space filler between cells, while collagen and elastin fibers act as a constant lubricant. HA is also present in the synovial fluid of joints and eyes, providing vital moisturizing protection and flexibility. HA may help slow signs of aging, wrinkles, fatigue, and diminished eye function. FINE HAwith its low molecular weight ensures optimum absorption and utilization by the intestinal tract.
is a protein that works with collagen to make skin elastic. Elastin allows skin to "spring back" into place when stretched, so skin stays resilient and firm.
With age, Elastin production slows and existing Elastin dries and shrinks, losing its natural ability to provide skin with elasticity, texture and firmness.
Vitamin C
provides antioxidant effect and is indispensable for collagen production.
Prepared in our own laboratories FINE Vitamin C is of the highest quality.
is an essential if we are to maintain the health of skin, hair and nails. Biotin completes our FINE Hyaluron & Collagen skin support product.
Pearl Coix (Hatomugi)
Called Job's tears in the east this large grain is renowned in Chinese medicine for helping the body provide healthy, beautiful skin and hair as well as flexible joints. The extract has been used for over 30 years in Japan as a detoxification and beauty supplement for clear, fair and luminous skin.

When we set a PAL preview screen in the config file we have settings for de-interlace.
How can I set this setting when I send the command ADD 2 SCREEN PAL (after the server has started)
The goal is to minimize processor load on small systems.
When I set my preview screen to de-interlace=true I have much more CPU load then
when I set it to false.

I was 14 when I purchased my jeep (1948 CJ-2A) and there was no internet, credit card mail ordering or "repro" parts. All parts were hard to find. The only Willys vehicles I could find in junk yards were a few of the old wagons, however I discovered that the front parking lights were perfectly interchangeable and the truck/wagon lights are glass – not plastic. Other than this all of my modifications are borrowed from the military jeeps. From what was left of the tail lights (some P.O. had added one to the right side) that were on the jeep I could tell that they hadn't been very sturdy; so I cut holes in the sheet metal, made up some brackets and installed M-series tail lights that are recessed in the body M38-style. That was over 20 years ago and I haven't even scratched the paint on them since.
A few years ago I modified the bracket that holds the pedal cross shaft into a bolt-on affair (MB/GPW-style) to make servicing and repair easier (see my reply to the "Time Saving Holes Installed" topic on this message board for details).
Recently, I installed a pintle hitch (I don't use the tailgate anyway) on the rear frame and an MB/GPW intervehicular cable socket in the hole that Willys-Overland very accommodatingly left over from MB production in the rear of the jeep (above the left rear tail light) so that I can hook-up my WWII Bantam T-3 trailer (when I finish restoring it!).
I also installed a slave receptacle on the front to make jump starting easier (I have them on all my vehicles – even my 1959 Oliver tractor!). I use the NATO style (except on my M37) and I installed it vertically between the bumper and the grille (inside the frame rail) on a home-made bracket; so it is protected but conveniently located and I didn't have to drill any more holes in the jeep. I made up my own slave cables using No. 4 jumper cables, some surplus slave cable plugs and welding cable quick-connects so that I can interchange one of the slave plugs with the original gator clips when I need to jump off another vehicle that doesn't have a slave receptacle.

Don't be fooled by its appearance. This is a bath mat and it's cooler and better than yours. It's made from Hinoki cypress wood, which is smells good and is know for its anti-bacterial properties.

Here's another one. I'm getting strong Björk and Siouxsie vibes from it. Is it only the human tendency to categorise things playing tricks with me?

Beta Does Not Matter; The Risks That Do
Posted by: Mark Lin (IP Logged)
Date: November 7, 2012 10:28AM
Beta is a statistical concept, reflecting the magnitude and degree of share price movement in relation to the relevant stock market index.
Beta does not matter because:
- It is a historical measure, not forward looking.
- It does not differentiate between upside and downside movements.
- Share price movements and higher risk may be correlated, but there is no direct cause-effect relationship.
The Risks That Matter
- Financial Leverage Risk
A company with no debt will have the least financial risk, although the ideal optimal capital structure is usually not zero debt (more debt means higher bankruptcy risk but lower tax expense as interest expense is tax deductible and vice versa).
- Refinancing Risk
A difficult credit environment will make it tough for companies to refinance their debt when it is due. A longer or staggered debt maturity period will ease refinancing concerns.
- Interest Rate Risk
Floating rate debt is susceptible to interest rate fluctuations, creating variability and volatility in a company's interest rate expense.
- Consumer Discretionary Risk
A simple example is Walmart (WMT) (selling groceries) and Tiffany (TIF) (selling luxury jewelry). In a recession, people will cut down on luxury or discretionary spending (things they do not need to buy to survive on) and Tiffany's sales will likely fall to a greater extent than Walmart. Hence, Walmart is perceived to have lower business risk than Tiffany in that aspect.
- Operating Leverage Risk
A company with high proportion of fixed costs to variable costs (costs which increase or decrease in line with sales) is said to have high operating leverage, which is potentially damaging like financial leverage (high levels of debt). For example, a company with all its costs varying with sales (variable costs) will see its costs drop in line with a decline in sales. This will help to buffer the hit to the net profit from any drastic fall in revenue.
- Funding Risk
A company which requires a lot of capital in terms of working capital and capital expenditure to sustain the same level of sales growth will either draw on existing cash/credit lines or require new fund raising.

No Spare Tire?
So You Get A Flat Tire...What Now?
Nobody ever looks forward to a flat tire, and nobody ever says "well, that was a really good time" after having one. You can at least minimize the damage to your tire and danger to yourself, though.
Flats vs Blowouts
If you get a blowout, you'll know about it right away. Sometimes the tire can fail dramatically, with a bang as loud as a shotgun going off. Other times, it might just be a loss of air and a sudden change in your car's handling, followed by vibration, noise and a pull to one side. If it's a front tire that fails, your car might be a real handful to drive until you can get to a stop.
In either case, your first job is to pull off the road as quickly (but safely ...[more]
Don't Forget Your Spare
Invest in the Future of any Vehicle with TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
As most drivers can contest firsthand, tires are not invincible. Composed from many separate layers of steel-encased rubber fabrics and durable materials, tires eventually wear down and can cause vehicle owners costly repairs or even replacement. Understanding what measures should be taken to properly maintain tires will both lengthen tire life and support vehicle functionality and longevity. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) introduce revolutionary tire protection technology to constantly report on tire pressure in each tire for vehicle safety and sustainability.
Without assistance from a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), tires become more susceptible to avoidable damages due to l ...[more]
Are New Tires on Your Back to School List? - Center Exit Tire
Fall is in the air, and that can mean only one thing: it's back to school time! As you run through your back to school checklist- pencils, notebooks, binders, books, and tires- yes, you read that correctly: TIRES. Why add new tires to your back to school checklist? Because now is the BEST time to get new tires for you or your student's vehicle. Whether you are carpooling your students around, want something dependable for your extra-curricular high school smarty, or need that reliable vehicle for your independent college bound kid- making sure you get the best start to a new school year means starting with replacing your old tires.

THE REALITY OF FASHION THE REALITY OF AIDS Celebrity Runway Show Set For Sept 13
New York City based PR Firm, Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR, announced today the details for their much anticipated reality star runway event "The Reality of FASHION The Reality of AIDS". The evening will officially take place on September 13th 2012 in New York City, a day that also resonates loudly for most as the first day of NYC Fashion Week. Celebrity Reality Stars will join forces to walk the runway for this first-of-it's-kind philanthropic event in designer pieces all with a unified goal of raising $300,000+ in funding that will directly benefit Beautiful Planning's 2012 years charity of choice, AIDS United. Designers across the US are still currently submitting their bids for their work to be the line that will be featured within the show. The high society event will only accommodate 500-600 people in person; however will be presented to the public online via live stream. Designer pieces will be auctioned off online following the event with a portion of the proceeds contributing to the final fundraising goal.
"There are an estimated 300,000 people within the U.S., that are living with HIV/AIDS, and do not know it. That number is staggering." States Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR CEO Monique Tatum "It really is heartbreaking and unacceptable in our day and age. Our goal for this amazing event is to raise $1 to represent every single one of those people, increase awareness, and work to end this devastating epidemic."
AIDS United was Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR's first choice as the beneficiary charity for the evening. Located in Washington, D.C. AIDS United works to fund various HIV/AIDS Not for Profits, grant programs, easy treatment access, housing programs and much more throughout the US.
"When we did our research we loved the fact that AIDS United executives were extremely excited and also that when asked where these donated funds would end up, we did not receive The Common response of operating costs." Continues BPMPR CEO Monique Tatum " HIV/AIDS patients come across struggles that many of us could never understand. Struggles that have to do with housing, access to affordable medications needed in order for them to live day-to-day, and so much more. AIDS United programs embrace and effect change for an outstanding number of areas that we mentioned and were concerned about."

[Before and after Sean Reah, 39 shows his now alerted tattoo he had of a mosque being blown up]
By Hasnain Hudda
An EDL supporter was arrested on July 20 during a demonstration by the anti-Islam far-right group in Centenary square, Birmingham.
Sean Reah, 39 of South Shields, South Tyneside, was arrested after raising his shirt to the camera showing a tattoo he had of a mosque being blown up.
He was arrested by Northumbria police "on behalf of West Midlands police on suspicion of using words or behavior, or displaying written material with intent to stir up racial hatred."
He has currently been released on bail as further investigations are conducted regarding the case.
A Twitter user, who was sent the picture of Reah, says she heard the man shouting "no more mosques" as he showed off his inking of a mosque emblazoned with the word 'BOOM'.
The image sparked outrage after it was posted online. Reah has received hundreds of death threats after he was identified by young Muslims.
Sky sources say he has been forced to flee his house in South Shields and has been in hiding at a friend's house nearby.
In a YouTube video made after Reah's arrest, he shows the camera man that the tattoo has been removed, or rather tattooed over.
In the video Reah admits the tattoo "was a daft thing to do" and that he removed it because "it upset everybody."

Elephant Magazine
Established in 2009, Elephant is a quarterly magazine on contemporary art and visual culture. In this issue, the magazine look around the world to find the artists who are redefining gender for the twenty-first century and, in many cases, doing away with such definitions altogether. Chinese photographer Ren Hang, who tragically died in February, is central to the investigation as the magazine trace his journey beyond gender to capture a world of giddy, boundary-defying freedom. "Genders can be attached and detached from the body. Like dildos, you can have many," according to US artist A.L. Steiner. In Ghana the magazine speaks to Eric Gyamfi, whose work investigates universal concepts of gender but is strongly rooted in the local, while in Japan they meet Yoshiko Shimada, one of the first artists there to use the f-word—feminism and much more.mask
