Chilling video from Tahrir Square…and chilling rationalizations
By Dan Fleshler | February 19, 2011
Check out the video posted below, from Tahrir Square yesterday. They are chanting "To Jerusalem we are heading, martyrs in the millions."
Then check out the responses to the same video from the gang at Mondo Weiss. A coterie of commentators who think of themselves as proponents of human rights and universal values fall over themselves trying to justify and rationalize the same scene. I don't know which is more chilling–the video, or their reactions.

Why do you care what that "coterie" thinks? They are of no consequence.

Phil Weiss was invited last year by the supposedly "pro-Israel" J-Street group to conduct a panel discussion at their national conference. He was joined by other Israel bashers Richard Silverstein and the slightly more restrained "Jerry Haber". Thus, somehow the anti-Israel groups view him as some sort of spokesman or barometer for "progressive Jewish" thinking.

Here is a comment I posted elsewhere regarding the question of why the Palestinians decided to push Obama into the corner and force him into vetoing the UNSC resolution on the Israeli settlements. I think it is directly related to the turmoil in the Arab world and the firestorm that came out of the Al-Jazeera leaks regarding the Palestinian negotiating position:
The question I think that needs to be asked was why the Palestinians felt that they had to press the issue now, of all times. At the moment they have the most pro-Palestinian President in the White House of all times. He is under great pressure due to the turmoil in the Middle East, agonizing over whether to continue to support unpopular pro-American leaders. He is also coming off a devastating defeat in the mid-term elections. So why did he need this headache thrust on him at this very time?
The answer, I believe, comes from the fact that the Palestinian Authority now feels they have no choice but to finally end the charade of the Oslo "peace processâ€. The whole thing was based on the idea that, eventually, a compromise peace would emerge from negotiations with Israel. I emphasize the word "compromiseâ€. The problem was that such a peace would never be acceptable to the Palestinians, because the Palestinians are not interested in simply receiving an "independent Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel in peace and prosperityâ€, nor is their goal merely "self-determinationâ€. Their goal, is a they see it, as JUSTICE. This means rolling back 1948. Thus, the Palestinian has now evolved from what people (i.e. Israelis and Americans) thought was a "compromise peace†to what the Palestinian terms aways really were, as enunciated publicly innumerable times by Arafat and Abbas, by both FATAH and HAMAS as being:
(1) Complete withdrawal to the pre-67 lines.
(2) Unlimited and unrestricted right of return of Palestinian Refugees
(3) No "end of conflict†but rather a limited cease-fire.
These demands would be met by irresistable international pressure on Israel which would come as the culmination of a long-period of an international campaign against Israel's very legitimacy conducted in various forums around the world. In other words, the world would finally come around to the position that, not only were settlements criminal, and the "occupation†unacceptable, but that the Palestinian refugees MUST be allowed to return and the creation of Israel in 1948 must be defined as a criminal act that must be reversed. A "compromise†peace is light-years away from bringing about the justice the Palestinians are seeking.
While it is true that in the secret negotiations between the sides in 2000-2001 and 2008 the Palestinians did refer to some sort of minor territorial compromises which were never agreed upon and ambiguous statements that the Palestinians could "understand†that Israel couldn't accept an unlimited "right of return†of Palestinian refugees , we can see from the howls of outrage from the Palestinian street and from Jews who support the Palestinian cause, following the Al-Jazeera leaks that any sort of compromise on the three demands I listed above was unacceptable and actually treasonous.
Abbas, faced with the turmoil in the Arab world and the embarrassment of the Al-Jazeera leaks, added to the pressure from HAMAS, finally concluded that he had no choice but to break out of the "Oslo†straitjacket he was in. It must be remembered that he is taking a risk in doing this, because the Palestinian Authority is dependent on American handouts, but it seems he felt he could take the chance.
However, it seems that finally, all the lies and deceit of the Oslo "process†have been exposed and the Palestinians now feel they have to express their true aims.
Richard Witty Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 3:03 am
In contrast to your analysis Yakov, I believe that Abbas is in earnest about drafting a proposal to bring to the populations, that does articulate a real peace.
The video from Tahrir Square was not as chilling to me as many presented, as in looking at it, only a minority of the crowd are chanting, and that the term was not meant in as violent a manner as I originally interpreted. ("not as violent" is still horrid, compared to the praise of the Egyptian movement that it was not violent, not oriented to blaming some third party, Israel or US, for their present problems.)
The response of the Mondoweiss regulars to the chanting, urging that it signal the end of Israel, and desiring that it strike fear in Israelis, sickened me.
On a televised panel on one of the Sunday morning news shows a couple weeks ago, an Egyptian columnist described that Egyptians are not easily able to distinguish nuance, that they think in much more black/white terms, that something is either right or it is wrong, that an event or relationship is just or it is unjust.
Another commentator at Mondoweiss described her understanding (appreciatively) of the Arabs that she knew, that they preferred (even were unable) to drop an injustice, that it was stone in their shoe. I remember comments from an Algerian documentary of their revolution that stated similarly, that the dissenters would stop feeding their children rather than give up their agitation against a perceived injustice.
Many others than Arabs hold the same standards.
And, I have met Arabs that were able to live with an internal tension.
If the commitment to justice is strong, and is more importantly measured on oneself more than on a politically expedient "other", then I admire that.
If, on the other hand, the commitment to justice is only oriented to "other", then the fixation and willingness to harm to "right the injustice" is fascist, however it is presented and thought of.
Y. Ben-David Says:

Here the Washington Post agrees with me that Abbas DOES NOT WANT PEACE and his embarrasing of Obama, the best friend the Palestinians ever had in the White House, proves it:

YBD, re: #2.
Phil wasn't invited by J Street. He was part of an independently organized panel that asked J Street to let them meet during and at their conference. J Street agonized over it and then agreed. There is a difference.
Bill Pearlman Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 9:29 am
Dan, I haven't been your biggest fan but your finally getting it about Phil Weiss and his little gay side kick. If he woke up tomorrow and Israel was destroyed and there was another six million dead Jews it would be a good day for him.
Bill Pearlman Says:

Too cute by half on j-street. I don't think they agonized at all. I think they like Phil Weiss and what he stands for.
Y. Ben-David Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
J-Street knew perfectly welll the kind of filth that Weiss has on his site, and they also knew what Silverstein stands for. I don't see any difference at all.

I don't think most of the mondoweissers in that thread were advocating war, though certainly a few of them had me uneasy. Some of the conversation was at cross purposes with Richard Witty here, who immediately assumed that "martyrs" meant "martyrdom operations" which meant 2 million suicide bombers and he apparently thought that everyone praising the chant had that same interpretation. The Mondoweiss crowd, or most of them, interpreted it to mean that there would be mass demonstrations or even marches on Israel. They're happy at the thought that a democratic Egypt would no longer cooperate with Israel in oppressing Palestinians. For instance, here is one quote from a Mondoweisser–
"They aren't talking about an invasion. that just pure paranoria."
There are a handful of Mondoweissers who like to talk about war–war between Israel and Egypt, or war between Israel and Turkey, or war between Israel and Hezbollah. This is all pretty foolish, IMO, but I don't think I'd get real worried about what a handful of people say in a comment section at a blog.
What does matter is what the changers meant. I have no idea. It'd be useful to have reporters interview Egyptians so we could find out.
Richard Witty Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
Words matter.
Donald Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
That's helpful, Richard. Though by far the most bloodthirsty comment in that long trainwreck of a thread (which covered almost every topic known to man) was this–
"If the people in Tahrir Square really want millions of dead Arabs, Israel can oblige." That, of course, was one of the resident Mondoweiss Zionists.
I've said there and here that people who advocate war except when there is no other choice are foolish–that goes for people who say Israel was right to bomb Gaza and right to force the Palestinians out in 1948 and people who think that Egypt and/or Turkey should duke it out with Israel. And you'll generally find violence glorifying remarks in the comment section at any blog covering the I/P conflict. I sorta suspect you could find rationalizations for inexcusable violence written in the comments section at this blog, for instance, if one were willing to look.
Anyway, there are always going to be armchair warriors on the internet–again, it'd be really nice to know what exactly the Egyptians in that crowd meant.
Bill Pearlman Says:
February 20th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Don, I think your being racist. Imposing your western mindset on the Egyptians. I take them at their word. And if you don't think Phil ( Hitler should have finished the job ) Weiss. And his cheering section isn't rooting for a war. A war that Israel loses with everything that goes along with it. Your not reading what they are saying.
Richard Witty Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 6:46 am
1948 was 63 years ago. The urging of a couple million martyrs converging on Jerusalem is a currently applauded action.
It is similar in tone to the intoxicated joy that Jews expressed worldwide after the 6-day war, in which Jerusalem was conquered/liberated.
If the Mondoweiss regulars (more than regulars, including those with the authority to post and presumably moderate comments) indulge in that intoxication, then they are act-ing (a present tense verb).
Its a different content than the angry postings of a single individual.
If you applaud the concept of the "liberation of Jerusalem", rather than acceptance of the other and equal rights, then you are complicit.
The statement by MANY of the "advocates for human rights" was 'you are scared, good'.
Is that your view? 'You are scared, good.'
Tom Mitchell Says:

Y. Ben-David,
Shamir knew perfectly well what his organization, Etzel b'Eretz Israel (Lehi) was doing in 1941 when it met with a representative of Nazi Germany in Beirut.
By your logic this means that Lehi were Nazi collaborators. I have yet to hear Shamir denounce Yair for the meeting.
Koshiro Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Can I ask what you guys were or are naively expecting?
Of course Egyptians, with few exceptions, do not like Israel. Like most Arabs, they regard it as an aggressor state oppressing Arabs and occupying Muslim holy sites. Why should this change merely because they managed to chase their dictator away and move towards democracy? The underlying causes for their dislike of Israel have not changed.
"The statement by MANY of the "advocates for human rights†was 'you are scared, good'."
Not being scared is not a human right.
Anyway, if being scared serves to shake Israel out of its complacent 'status quo is fine by us' attitude and injects it with a much-needed dose of humility, I don't object.
Koshiro Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 7:32 pm
"I've said there and here that people who advocate war except when there is no other choice are foolish"
What does 'no other choice' mean? Isn't there always the choice to surrender and let your enemies do whatever they like to you? I mean, the US could have given to all Japanese demands before or after Pearl Harbour. South Korea could have just let North Korea conquer it. Kuwait could have just agreed to surrender to Saddam.
So what do you mean?
Koshiro Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 8:23 pm
"Filth", "Hitler", "Nazi", "little gay side kick"… yeah those guys on Mondoweiss surely say the most offensive things. Oh wait. That wasn't them!
Dan Fleshler Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 8:41 pm
You're right. Those are deeply offensive comments. On this blog, I and others have argued vociferously with Pearlman in the past and taken exception to his over-the-top and childish insults of Weiss. So, your point is…?
Richard Witty Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 8:50 pm
I'm personally not impressed by "you are scared, good".
Koshiro Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 9:26 pm
"So, your point is…?"
My point is that people who spew this kind of hateful language have very little cause to complain about anything that's said over at Mondoweiss, nor much to say about what those Egyptians are chanting.
Koshiro Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 9:32 pm
"I'm personally not impressed by "you are scared, goodâ€."
That's not terribly relevant. Then again, you have no reason to be scared anyway, seeing as you are thousands of miles away.
But if Israelis come to the realization that the status quo is not exactly stable and that the chance to accept something like the Arab Peace Initiative is not there forever, it might spur them into action. That in turn might result in a Palestinian state that deserves to be called that, and that would be good.
Y. Ben-David Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 10:50 pm
Tom, I can not figure out what why the heck you are bringing up the Shamir-Yair-Nazi connection for the umpteenth time. What does that have to do with J-Street inviting Phil Weiss? I am not responsible for what Stern did. How do you know I even approve of it? I think J-Street IS responsible for knowingly inviting Israel bashers to its conference.
Richard Witty Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Betting on invoking fear is a giant gamble, and gambles usually lose.
In 2008, Hamas' shelling of civilians evoked fear among Israelis, and they shifted their voting enough that a right-wing government took power.
Unintended consequences for Palestinians is as likely.
(Though who knows what or if Hamas had any intentions re: Israeli elections in 2008. To not have considered the consequences on Israeli elections indicates a political amateurishness, a grave negligence, to my mind.)
Donald Says:
February 21st, 2011 at 11:54 pm
"So what do you mean?"
I mean that war is a terrible option, only to be chosen when the alternatives are worse. There's little chance a war between Egypt and Israel would do anything except kill a lot of people on both sides, make Israel even more paranoid and self-righteous, and on the chance that Egypt actually seemed about to win (or "liberate Jerusalem"), well, Israel probably didn't build 200 nukes for nothing. I've heard (whether true or not) that they were panicky enough in 1973 to consider the nuclear option, so I can't fathom why anyone would think that having Turkey and/or Egypt starting a war with Israel would be a good idea. You don't know what sort of insanity might result.
More generally, what exactly is so attractive about war in the Middle East? Was there some war over there that led to good results and nobody told me?
But anyway, I don't think either the Egyptian military or Turkey has the slightest interest in doing this. For one thing they also know which side the US would take. As a means of yanking Witty's chain I suppose internet warmongering is one tactic that can be employed, but if meant seriously it's just crazy.
Y. Ben-David Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 12:27 am
Why does anyone start wars? What chance did Hitler and the Japanese have to win World War II? Why did Saddam Hussein provoke the Americans into a war he could never win in 1990?
I'll tell you why a lot of people want to drag Israel into a war. There are three groups of people in the world who are hoping for this to happen.
(1) Radical Progressive/Left. These are the people Prof Ernest Sternberg calls "the Purificationists". They view Israel as an outpost of American-Capitalist-Globalist Imperialism (what Sternberg calls "Empire"). They view Israel as an artificial state that exists only because it is propped up. Once the Arabs get their act together they can force Israel, either through actual warfare, or maybe merely the threat of war, to fold up since "Empire" can't stand up to an outraged, empowered movement of the "masses". The "Angry Arab" blogger is excited since he believes the rising up of the Arab masses will mean the end of Israel (just like they said in the 1950's and 1960's and 1970's).
(2) The classic antisemitic Nazi-Fascist Right. They view Jews as plutocratic manipulators who are a threat to humanity. Nothing new here.
(3) The mainline Arab world, particularly the Islamists. Wherease Baathist-Nasserist-Pan Arabism viewed Israel like the first group (the 'progressives'), the Islamist go back to their sources in the Qur'an. Muhammed taught that the Jews are corrupt cowards, and all a true Muslim has to do is show his martial courage and, once again, Israel will fold up. Having the "powerful" IDF run away from southern Lebanon and Gush Katif under the leadership of "tough generals" like Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon proves this is true to them and has been a major recruiting incentive for this view. It seems Qaradawi in Egypt is using this line…Israel defeated the Arab/Muslim countries in the past because they abandoned Islam, a return to Islam will ensure the defeat of Israel. The point is that the Arab wars against Israel were doomed to defeat up until now because the Muslims didn't get their act together…now with Islamists having the prospect of coming to power thoughout the Middle East, confrontation with Israel is now conceivable and desirable.
This is what they think. I'm sorry if you don't like it. I don't believe Israel's position is hopeless, but we are just going to have to tough it out, because once Islamism has proven a failure, just like Nasserite Pan-Arabism did, there will be a change for the better.
Y. Ben-David Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 12:32 am
Here is a link to Sternberg's article. I highly recommend it. It makes the permanent state of rage of the "progressives" and their unending demonization of Israel understandable, particularly that of the Jewish 'progressives" (e.g. MJ Rosenberg, Phil Weiss, Richard Silverstein, rabbis Brian Walt, Brant Rosen) who are always in the lead of "true believers" in these utopian schemes:
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 4:13 am
"In 2008, Hamas' shelling of civilians evoked fear among Israelis, and they shifted their voting enough that a right-wing government took power."
That would be of relevance if the supposedly non-right-wing government that had been in power had been more willing to grant the Palestinians sovereignty and justice. But it hadn't.
From a purely strategical viewpoint, the main reason that Palestinians should refrain from violence right now is a lack of effectiveness. You're right: Rocket attacks from Gaza do little but cause anger. They are simply not dangerous enough. So before reverting to terrorism again, Palestinian organizations would have to find a better means of terrorism.
It would also be advisable to try forceful, massed nonviolent actions first, like gathering huge groups of unarmed Palestinians to tear down the annexation fence, to block settler bypass roads with their bodies and maybe, indeed, to break through the border and march on Jerusalem. The question is whether this is practical and whether one is willing to accept the thousands of deaths the Israeli response would cause.
What is clear is that the current course is not working. Ending violence and agreeing to negotiate has brought the Palestinian side nothing. And why should it? Israel's aims are – and that is equally clear – to keep as much territory and resources as they deem sufficient for their 'needs' and keep the Palestinians in continual subjugation on whatever territory remains, under tight Israeli control. As long as there is neither meaningful international pressure on Israel and as long as no threat whatsoever arises for Israel, what incentive does it have not to continue pursuing these aims?
P.S.: I wish people would stop calling the charade of negotiations a 'peace process'. The PA and Israel are not at war. Indeed, Israel insists that all (Palestinian) violence end before the 'peace process' can begin, which should win a grand prize for oxymorons.
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 4:22 am
"I mean that war is a terrible option, only to be chosen when the alternatives are worse."
Yeah, my question kinda was which alternatives you consider to be worse. It still is.
I mean, if – and just for the benefit of the terminally clueless, I neither believe this will happen nor want it to happen – Egypt marches its armies toward Israel with the goal of 'liberating Palestine'. You would or would not in such a situation advise Israelis to throw down their arms and surrender?
Richard Witty Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 7:09 am
You are scary Koshiro. Advocating for more effective terror.
That the PA and Kadima peace proposals are objectively so close, after 40 years of jockeying, is a sign that its a falsehood that "Palestinians have gotten nothing from the peace process."
They've gotten to the prospect of actual peace, an actual state, from nowhere near that.
The deal needs to be closed, not kept as an "if".
And, you are accurate that your comments "successfully" contribute to deterring that.
"Better that they be scared".
Bill Pearlman Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 7:45 am
Koshiro, I'm actually curious. What would be a "better means of terrorism".
Bill Pearlman Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 8:47 am
Is it a higher jewish body count. More dead women and children. What would be better terrorism?
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 9:03 am
"What would be a "better means of terrorismâ€."
I have no idea. I'm not an expert on unconventional warfare. One concept that would probably work quite well against Israel or any other Western power – much better than against Islamistic terrorist organizations in fact – is the currently en vogue method of targeted killing of enemy leaders, whether by drone aircraft or by other means. But I do not see how this could be accomplished, technically speaking, short of Hamas getting its hands on a fleet of Predator drones.
"You are scary Koshiro. Advocating for more effective terror."
I'm not advocating anything. I am describing strategic options. Violence is one – one quite liberally employed by Israel, I might add. Making violence more effective is all what war is about.
"That the PA and Kadima peace proposals are objectively so close"
On your blog, I explained to you in painstaking detail that they are not. I am not going to repeat myself.
"is a sign that its a falsehood that "Palestinians have gotten nothing from the peace process.—
No it isn't. On the contrary, the peace process until this day is positive proof. All that has resulted until now, regarding the (entirely legitimate, I should add) actual aspirations of the Palestinians is at best a vague, empty, unfulfilled promise. And when I say 'at best' I mean it. At worst, the result has been flat-out rejection of rights that Israel and supporters take for granted for themselves – like the right of a state to sovereignty and self-defense.
There has been, to this date, no Israeli offer containing anything remotely resembling a sovereign Palestinian state. There likewise has been no Israeli offer containing any acknowledgment of responsibility for the refugees.
P.S.: That you should, in this situation, position yourself to the right of Liberman and insist that all settlers remain where they are, thereby negating the only (and it is a far stretch to call it that) concession Israel ever even alluded to and thus relieving Israel of any negative consequences whatsoever… well I can think of no other word than 'grotesque'.
Donald Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:29 am
Non-violent resistance by Palestinians is the sensible option, I think, assisted by supporters outside. Hopefully Egypt will become a democracy and then they can put non-violent pressure on Israel in whatever way they choose. They could start by ending the Gaza blockade on their part of the border.
I tend to agree that the "peace process" has been a joke. I wish the Palestinian people would follow their Arab neighbors and rebel against both the PA and Hamas and establish a non-corrupt government which would stand up for them at the negotiating table. I don't know what the odds are of that, but amazing things have been happening lately.
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:40 am
Well, the underlying problem is, and I am sorry for repeating myself:
Israel's aims are to keep as much territory and resources as they deem sufficient for their 'needs' and keep the Palestinians in continual subjugation on whatever territory remains, under tight Israeli control. As long as there is neither meaningful international pressure on Israel and as long as no threat whatsoever arises for Israel, what incentive does it have not to continue pursuing these aims?
It doesn't really matter what kind of government the Palestinians elect or how they present themselves in negotiations as long as Israel is under no pressure to change its course. And, like it or not, violence is one means of exerting pressure. It's not what I'd prefer, but as the Palestinians are rapidly running out of other options, it may soon make a comeback.
As I said, I'd prefer for the Palestinian side to try forceful, nonviolent mass protests and blockades first. Maybe the inevitable brutal Israeli response will move the international community to exert some meaningful pressure after all. Seeing how neither the Gaza siege, nor the Cast Lead massacre, nor the ongoing disposessions and evictions, nor the daily humiliation and violence inflicted upon the Palestinians have up to now resulted in any such meaningful pressure, I have my doubts, however. But it's worth a try I guess.
Richard Witty Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 12:00 pm
In contrast, I prefer to support electoral campaigns that will confidently elect a leadership party in Israel that will complete what is close.
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Unless Meretz wins an absolute majority in the next Knesset election, fat good that'll do.
Your insistence that if only the pure peace angels of Kadima were in charge, everything would work out is so ridiculously out of touch with what actually happened the last time they *were* in charge. It's pathetic, really.
Richard Witty Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 3:32 pm
You exagerate Koshiro (for a change).
What happened last time they were in charge, the PA and Israel got close to an agreement/proposal (how close? touchable).
The civil resistance approach is a decade + away, if ever, with horrid process to get there.
I choose the quite good over the gamble.
Koshiro Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 4:11 pm
"You exagerate Koshiro (for a change)."
Au contraire. I understate. Even Meretz positions on the Palestinian state are highly problematic and not likely to be accepted by the majority of Palestinians.
"What happened last time they were in charge, the PA and Israel got close to an agreement/proposal (how close? touchable)."
No, they didn't. As I said, I already explained this en detail on your blog, I'm not going to repeat it here.
"The civil resistance approach is a decade + away, if ever, with horrid process to get there."
The negotiation process has been going on for two decades without any tangible result.
"I choose the quite good over the gamble."
You don't get to choose though.
Richard Witty Says:
February 22nd, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I disagree with your assessment of the differences between the PA and Kadima positions.
The proof is in the pudding, and there is none yet, so at this point, its my assertion of hope on the basis of things like the Palestine Papers vs your assertion that no negotiation has occurred.
How far is real far? Fording a small stream can be daunting and a great divide, or it can be doable if one goes for it.
I very much wish Netanyahu would go for it, unlikely. As Kadima would campaign on the effort to forge a peace, I'm much more confident about them.
You also don't get to vote, Koshiro, unless you are Palestinian. Noone knows who you really are, name, ethnicity, gender even. A masked man.

Richard Witty Says:

Your vanity is in your presumption that you are stating and thinking "facts".
Its an exageration of the authority of your or even any analysis.
The best that an analysis provides is a description.
And, there are two characteristics of the usefulness of a description. One is whether it constructs a path to something better. The second is in serving that path to something better, it is representative (rather than misrepresentative).
If you are interested in Israeli reform, then we are just arguing about the extent and means to accomplish that.
If you are interested, even flirting, with the idea that Israel should not exist, then you are a revolutionary and from outside, an enemy of democracy.
Koshiro Says:
February 23rd, 2011 at 6:50 am
"If you are interested in Israeli reform, then we are just arguing about the extent and means to accomplish that."
I'm not really. I'm interested in ending the occupation for good, in giving Palestinians a viable, fully sovereign state with economic opportunities* and in achieving a just solution for the Palestinian refugees, which will primarily mean acknowledgment and compensation.**
Whatever happens in Israel, whether it is ruled by Lieberman, by Netanyahu, by Livni or by Barak, is neither particularly important to me, nor do I think it actually makes a difference. There simply is no major Israeli political party which would support the above voluntarily.
That leaves outside pressure on Israel, and all I'm really torn about is how to best apply it.
* On the 1967 lines with minor adjustments, and just to clear it up, free of illegal Israeli settlers.
** Even though it is their right to return to Israel, I doubt that a majority would want to exercise that right if they were compensated. In addition, the states where they currently live would likely agree to accomodate them if they received generous financial incentives. Again, this is not for Israel's sake. I just happen to think that the refugees would be better off not returning to a racist country that regards them as unwanted intruders. Especially if the current political developments in the wider Arab world lead where I hope they lead.

Wow… I love this blog. What a great debate. I only wish I could see it on my television. One comment… someone said…
"In 2008, Hamas' shelling of civilians evoked fear among Israelis, and they shifted their voting enough that a right-wing government took power. Unintended consequences for Palestinians is as likely."
I would say that Israel's actions regarding the Palestinians has also lead to some unintended consequences… Egypt… Lybia… Bahrain… Arab unification…
That said I am, in general, an American supporter of Israel but the present Israeli leadership has me slipping away… and I'm not so inclined to financially support Israel as it now exists… I hope for change…

Nevertheless, the preservation of food is still a daily affair
and therefore, I have listed a few top tips on
preserving foodstuff underneath, so that you will get the best from that
which you have bought or grown in your very own garden even if
it is a long while later. Allow the food to
cook until there is no more flame; this will happen when all the alcohol
has burned itself off. If you combine those three things with
fiber, you will notice that you feel more energized for
a long period of time, (several hours).

When Lionel Nacua returned home to Henderson after taking sons Kai and Isaiah to BYU on a football recruiting trip two months ago, he couldn't hide his passion for the school.
"Honey, this is where I want the boys to go to school," Penina Nacua remembered her husband saying. "For my husband, BYU would be a dream opportunity for the boys."
The dream is now a reality, which unfortunately for the Nacua family, is bittersweet. Lionel Nacua, you see, died unexpectedly May 14. He was just 45.
The brothers — Kai, a rising senior at Liberty High, and Isaiah, a rising junior at Bishop Gorman High — verbally committed together when offered a scholarship Tuesday during the BYU camp.
They didn't hesitate committing, knowing that was their father's wishes and excited to be reunited on the gridiron.
"My husband would be so happy right now. We all are," Penina Nacua said. "It's been such a wonderful day."
Just 14 months apart, they shined together on the youth football ranks with Lionel helping coach the team and Penina as the team mother. Both boys were without their cellphones at the camp.
"For us, it's always been family first, church, school and then sports," said Penina, who on more than one occasion has held one of her sons from practice in favor of schoolwork. "I have no problem with a coach having a long practice, but he better have an equally long study period. Both my husband and I never went to college and that is something we want for all our kids (they have seven). You can't get to college unless you have the grades."
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Kai Nacua plays quarterback at Liberty, but was recruited as a linebacker by BYU. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Isaiah was a regular on state champion Gorman's defensive line last fall as a sophomore.
Isaiah, even when the boys played on the same pee-wee football team, was always bigger and considered the older sibling. At the BYU camp, the Cougar coaches thought Isaiah was older, partially because of his full facial hair, Penina said.
Kai Nacua completed 51 percent of his passes last fall for 1,480 yards and 12 touchdowns, also rushing for 6.8 yards per carry and five scores. He was a part-time safety and should have no problem moving to the defensive side of the ball at the next level, Liberty coach Rich Muraco said.
"They loved (Kai) because of how athletic he was and his frame," Muraco said. "They see potential to put some weight on."
Last summer, Centennial 2012 defensive lineman Trajan Pili verbally committed to BYU. Other 2012 commitments include: Liberty running back Niko Kapeli (UNLV), Gorman quarterback Anu Solomon (Arizona) and Foothill wide receiver Tyler Morris (San Diego State).
Verbal commitments are nonbinding and don't become official to national signing day in February 2013.

Valladolid rode a pair of first-half goals to a second straight La Liga victory on Monday, earning a 2-1 defeat of Sevilla at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Patrick Ebert put visiting Valladolid in front inside just the second minute of play, and Oscar Gonzalez doubled the advantage 10 minutes later with his seventh goal of the campaign.
Sevilla was handed a lifeline five minutes into the second period when Manucho turned in an own goal to cut Valladolid's lead in half.
But with Sevilla's Gary Medel receiving a red card in the 63rd minute, Valladolid was able to close the game out and improve to 21 points on the season.
After back-to-back league losses, Sevilla remains stuck on 18 points.

By Katie M. Scholz | 30 November 2012
The recent Rio+20 Summit made one thing clear: the trend in Corporate Social Responsibility reporting is only increasing. However, it is not only governments pushing for transparency in corporate activities; the trend is increasingly driven by business executives. The corporate support stems from the link between sustainability and healthy balance sheets. Accounting for true business costs, including long-term environmental risk, is increasingly important in long-term corporate strategies.
While many groups collect CSR reports, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is recognized as the standard for sustainability reporting. GRI started in 1997 as a joint initiative between CERES and UNEP to provide a framework for measuring more than just the financial performance of organizations, looking to the entirety of the organization's impact. GRI guidelines ensure organizations report accurate and meaningful information to their stakeholders. GRI is currently updating their guidelines, having recently closed the first public comment period on the draft for G4.
In order to provide a professional CSR report, organizations must focus on topics material to their industry and stakeholders. The first step in assessing and reporting on CSR activities requires identification of both internal and external stakeholders through a materiality analysis. Stakeholders include groups who may affect, or be affected by, the organization's actions. The current GRI guidelines, G3, define material issues as those relating to the economic, environmental and social impacts of corporate activities.
Many organizations currently reporting under the G3 guidelines follow a materiality matrix template that compares impacts against influence on stakeholder decisions by focusing on corporate activities and stakeholder communication. Using materiality matrices provides reporting organizations with a clear and visual means for improving transparency in communications with stakeholders.
One of the goals of the draft G4 guidelines is to provide improved guidance on identification of material issues. The G4 guidelines require external stakeholders to increase credibility of reports, making materiality assessments crucial to CSR reporting. With the first comment period closed and analysis of feedback completed, it is clear that many topics are material regardless of industry, with 33% of respondents listing Energy, 27% listing Emissions and 24% listing Water in their top ten material topics. While sector-specific guidance is not a new offering for GRI, this is an area still open for improvement in the G4 guidelines. And, as the G4 guidelines are not final, there is still time to influence the topics deemed material by individual industries.
With an increased focus on defining materiality in CSR reporting, GRI is requesting input from organizations through December 14th on identifying sustainability topics material to specific industry groups.
Whether or not an organization has reported with GRI in the past, it is increasingly clear that CSR reporting is becoming the new norm. The call for input on the G4 material topics is an excellent opportunity to provide input and ensure that reporting organizations are transparent in their disclosures. For more information on how to suggest topics for inclusion, GRI provides an informational presentation.

History of Blue Goose, InternationalThe Honorable Order of the Blue Goose International was formed in June, 1906 on the bank of Green Lake, Wisconsin, about ninety miles northwest of Milwaukee. During the annual meeting of the Wisconsin insurance field men at the Oakwood Resort, a state agent advanced the idea that three young men, seeking membership in the Field Club, should be initiated to enliven the occasion. One idea after another was considered which, by evening when the ceremony was scheduled, for the organizers with a name for their new Order - The Ancient and Honorable Order of the Blue Goose, and also a Ritual with Obligation and Charge, and names for the various officers, almost the same as are used today. They built better than they knew, for soon a petition for a charter came from the Minnesota field men, which was promptly granted, and the Minnesota Pond was founded. At that time it was decided to name the Wisconsin State Organization the "Wisconsin Home Nest."
The October, 1906, meeting of the Fire Underwriters Association of the Northwest proved a splendid opportunity to exemplify the worth of the new group for field men, company officials and insurance editors. One hundred and forty-nine candidates, who had signed applications during the meeting of the Northwest Association, were made Ganders at a special Blue Goose initiation in the ballroom of the Auditorium Hotel. Elaborate plans had been made. The ceremony, conducted jointly by members of the Wisconsin Home Nest and Minnesota Pond, proved a great success, for immediately field men of many States applied for charters, all of which were promptly granted. From such an unpretentious beginning, the Order has grown until there is at least one pond in every state and province, and the Honorable Order of the Blue Goose International (as the Order is now known) enjoys a worldwide membership of over 10,000. This is unmistakable evidence of the fact that the "Blue Goose" occupies an important place in the insurance world, where its influence for fellowship and good has been felt for many years.
The goals of the Order are to build Character, Charity and Fellowship among its members. The Order used the guidelines provided by the real migratory bird, the Blue Goose. Some of those characteristics are courage, wisdom, complete order and decorum. As an example of charity, each Chapter, which is called a Pond, (if you're not big enough you're called a puddle!) helps to support one or more charities of its choice. The various Chapters make up the International Order of Blue Goose called the Grant Nest. The Grand Nest provides matching funds to the Chapters for worthwhile projects.
The Order developed a Constitution and By-laws over the years, changing its eligibility to meet the changing insurance industry. Most members of the property, casualty and related business are now eligible for membership. This is one of the strengths of Blue Goose. It is the only organization whose members represent the broad spectrum of the Insurance Industry. The Order provides a forum in which all phases of the Industry can meet and communicate in a relaxed atmosphere. Members are called Ganders.
Each Pond has a head officer called The Most Loyal Gander (President). The lesser stations are Supervisor of the Flock (First Vice President), Custodian of the Goslings (Second Vice President-Membership), Guardian of the Pond (Sergeant at Arms), Keeper of the Golden Goose Egg (Treasurer) and Wielder of the Goose Quill (Secretary). These stations have remained unchanged for over a century. The Grand Nest officers or International officers bear the same titles except for the prefix "Grand" to distinguish the high degree of their achievement. It is truly an international order as the Ponds are chartered throughout the United States and Canada.
History of the Colorado Pond
In February, 1908, the Colorado Pond received their charter. September, 1908, was the first major meeting, but how many members were initiated is not known. The officers at that time were: · Most Loyal Gander – L.P Appleman; Supervisor of the Flock – Frank G. White; Custodian of the Goslings - B. O Selbach; Guardian of the Pond - Harry L Simpson; Wielder of the Goose Quill - Gerald L. Schuyler
The Colorado Pond- Today (2015)
One hundred years later the Colorado Pond is still following and promoting the same guidelines and by-laws amongst its members and in particular the principles, namely Character, Charity and Friendship. Our first female initiate, Elaine Garman, was unanimously voted a member on June 7, 1990.
Although it's customary for the Officers to change every year the current Officers for 2015-2016 are: Most Loyal Gander – Sandy Czech, PMLG
Supervisor of the Flock – John Lacy PMLGCustodian of the Goslings – Jerry Womack, PMLGWielder of the Goose Quill – Carol Kats, PMLGKeeper of the Golden Goose Egg - Jane Joukema, PMLGGuardian of the Pond – Rita Hyland The Colorado Pond Scholarship
Since 1984, the Colorado Pond has funded a cash scholarship to a Gifted High School student. The annual scholarship recipient is taken from among several area school districts that rotate each year.

Therefore, while the 75k figure may not give an accurate picture, the idea that PS:T's sales weren't good enough to interest publishers in that type of game is still sound.

Talking to Times of India, a source close to director Srinu Vaitla confirmed the news about Siddharth's guest appearance in Baadshah. The source said, "The filmmakers were looking for a known face to play a pivotal character in the movie. Siddharth's name came up and when the producers approached him, he agreed to come on board."
Reports suggest that Siddharth is playing a small role in the flashback episode of the movie Baadshah. Although he is making a brief appearance, it is going to be a pivotal role, which is very crucial in the film. The actor is going to shoot for this most-awaited flick from February 28 and March 1 in Hyderabad.
However, Baadshah is touted to be a lavish action entertainer, which is being made with more than Rs 50 crore budget. Junior NTR and Kajal Aggarwal are playing lead roles and Navdeep is playing a negative role in the film, which is produced by Bandla Ganesh Babu. The movie has music by SS Thaman and cinematography by I Andrew, Jayanan Vincent, RD Rajasekhar and KV Guhan.

- Former Rep. Gabby Giffords and husband, Mark Kelly
Encourage Gabby Giffords & Mark Kelly to support the PMMC in Laguna Beach!
On March 25, 2013, former Arizona Representative Gabby Giffords, her husband (Mark Kelly) and his daughter were vactioning in Laguna Beach when thier pet dog escaped from its owner and attacked and killed a young California sea lion pup, devastating Kelly's daughter and many beach goers who witnessed the tragic event.
My first thought was - why was the dog so close? Then I thought, are there really that many sick sea lions that they are willing to risk coming in conctact with humans just to get some needed rest? Niether answer is easy.
Also in national news, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC) which rescues and rehabilitates marine mammals (sea lions) from local beaches has been inundated with many animals this year and are in dire need of financial support. They are independently funded and rely strictly on donations to operate and to help these beloved sea mammals get back to the ocean.
Let's help draw a positive light to this issue by encouraging the Giffords (Kelly) to step up and take the lead on flooding the PMMC with donations. Surely they would be willing to use their high-profile status to help turn around this unfortunate event into something positive and beneficial.
Don't you agree?
(If you would like to make a donation, please visit the PMMC website: http://pacificmmc.org/donations.html)
- Former Rep. Gabby Giffords and husband, Mark Kelly
Please take the lead by donating and encouraging others to donate to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach in a show of 'good faith' and reparations for the death of one of our federally protected marine mammals.

Erik Loomis, an assistant professor of history at the University of Rhode Island, has come to attention in recent days for an outraged series of Twitter comments in the wake of the mass murders at an elementary school in Newtown, CT last week.
Here are some of the comments Loomis made before deleting his Twitter account:
"[I] want Wayne LaPierre's head on a stick," Erik Loomis, a professor at the University of Rhode Island (URI),tweeted.
It "looks like the National Rifle Association has murdered some more children," he added."
Can [we] define NRA membership as dues contributing to a terrorist organization?" he asked in a separate tweet.
Loomis' comments come on the heels of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 young children and six faculty members dead.
The professor contended Democratic lawmakers should exploit the tragedy to force more restrictive gun control measures into law.
"You are goddamn right we should politicize this tragedy," Loomis tweeted. "[F]**k the NRA."
"Dear Republicans, do you know the definition of family values?" he continued. "It's not having our kids F**KING SHOT AT SCHOOL! F**k the NRA."
I took the liberty of slightly editing the f-bombs to be PG-13. I hope you don't mind.
I can't say that I'm a fan of Loomis or his writing at the far left blog, Lawyers, Guns and Money. Quite frankly, it appears that left-wing lawyers created the conditions for this and other massacres in the first place by making it all exceedingly difficult to institutionalize the dangerously insane.
That stated, I empathize with Mr. Loomis.He was reacting in the heat of the moment, emotionally. Hyper-emotional, highly educated individuals often react to tragedy by lashing out violently against their imagined foes, even if their "foes" have done nothing wrong.
Wait a minute…
Anyway, how could Loomis grasp the seemingly alien fact that the Founding Fathers created the 2nd Amendment to ensure that this nation's citizens would always have access to arms of contemporary military utility, to ensure our precious liberty against would-be tyrants, foreign and domestic?
How could he have known that that right has been exercised as recently as 1946 in Athens, TN (the McMinn County War) to depose a corrupt and tyrannical government as the Founders intended?
As Eleanor Roosevelt wrote at the time:
We in the U.S.A., who have long boasted that, in our political life, freedom in the use of the secret ballot made it possible for us to register the will of the people without the use of force, have had a rude awakening as we read of conditions in McMinn County, Tennessee, which brought about the use of force in the recent primary. If a political machine does not allow the people free expression, then freedom-loving people lose their faith in the machinery under which their government functions.
In this particular case, a group of young veterans organized to oust the local machine and elect their own slate in the primary. We may deplore the use of force but we must also recognize the lesson which this incident points for us all. When the majority of the people know what they want, they will obtain it.
Any local, state or national government, or any political machine, in order to live, must give the people assurance that they can express their will freely and that their votes will be counted. The most powerful machine cannot exist without the support of the people. Political bosses and political machinery can be good, but the minute they cease to express the will of the people, their days are numbered.
This is a lesson which wise political leaders learn young, and you can be pretty sure that, when a boss stays in power, he gives the majority of the people what they think they want. If he is bad and indulges in practices which are dishonest, or if he acts for his own interests alone, the people are unwilling to condone these practices.
When the people decide that conditions in their town, county, state or country must change, they will change them. If the leadership has been wise, they will be able to do it peacefully through a secret ballot which is honestly counted, but if the leader has become inflated and too sure of his own importance, he may bring about the kind of action which was taken in Tennessee.
Yes, a woman who was just recently (at the time) the First Lady of the United States condoned insurrection to restore Constitutional law, and against corrupt local representatives of her own Democratic Party at that.
You'd almost have to be aware of this nation's history to know that, though. Why would Loomis be exposed to history?
Oh. Yeah.

An amount of Rs. 16500.00 lakhs has been provided to Deptt. of Social Welfare under the Social Welfare sector which includes Rs.13320.00 lakhs under Revenue head and Rs. 3180.00 lakh under Capital Head. The scheme - wise details for 2007-08 are given below :
The aim of this scheme is to offer educational avenues and educational facilities for Deaf Children of the school going age, in North East Delhi.
The Working Group Constituted for the Social Welfare Sector had suggested that the Department should modify the proposals, keeping the new concept of community based rehabilitation in view. Accordingly, plot measuring 6033.30 square meter, was acquired from DDA, which was decided to be used for both constructing school for the deaf as well as for running a programme for the rehabilitation of the disabled.
The Administrative approval and expenditure sanction to the tune of Rs.80.83 lakh was accorded to the PWD to carry out the construction activity.
The objective of the scheme is to assist the handicapped students to pursue studies, acquire vocational training skills and undertaking music course etc. Financial assistance at varying rate (primary classes Rs.50/-, Middle- Rs.70/-, Secondary Rs. 125/-, Sr. Sec. Rs. 200/- Graduate & PG Rs. 500/- per month per student) is given to the handicapped students in the form of scholarship to enable them to earn a livelihood and to become useful members of the society. The scheme is an ongoing one for providing the facilities to the disabled for the education.
The aim of this scheme is to provide awareness regarding available services for the welfare of deprived and disabled through workshops, meeting on social issues, and to generate public opinion towards various issues concerning protection of girl child, handicapped and women etc., and to sensitize the society regarding social problems. The Department proposes to get some video spots / short documentaries on the rights of child with particular emphasis on the girl child.
Awareness Campaign for Bhagidari initiatives and workshops would be arranged and would be linked to programme of Asian Network for Metro cities.
The aim and objective of the scheme is to provide social-economic rehabilitation of mentally improved patients. A Half Way Home has to be established for such cases for which land costing Rs.4 Crore was made available within the complex of the Hospital for Mental Diseases, Shadara. Now the Insttute of Human Behavior and Allied Studies (IHBAS) has been requested to hand over of the land to Social Welfare Department. The construction work of the building is proposed to be taken up in the A.P. 2007-08. top
The aim of the scheme was to develop the rehabilitation center for Leprosy affected persons by providing food, clothing and medical care to 1600 leprosy patients who were in Delhi prior to 1st January, 1981. The population of affected persons has arisen and they are living mostly in Tahirpur, Delhi without the facilities of sanitation, drainage & potable drinking water and thus an Integrated Development Plan for Tahirpur Leprosy Complex was made for providing suitable living condition. The scheme was put into implementation in 1996-97 and work pertaining to sewerage, storm water drainage is in process of completion.
The aim of the scheme is to provide residential care program to the mentally retarded for their education, training guidance, medical care and rehabilitation.
The scheme was to be implemented after getting suitable piece of land at Dwarka. The payment for land has been made to DDA but the possession of land has not been made by DDA so far thus the approved funds of Rs. 30.00 lakh are retained for development of the land and for the boundary wall.
The aim and objective of the scheme is to set up a district rehabilitation center for disable persons and gear up the activities for promoting community based rehabilitation. It is also proposed to have a separate commission building for running the activities under PWD Act. Under the scheme, Disability Camps were held in Each District and disabled persons are issued Handicapped Certificate, DTC pass, Identify card, mobility aids & appliances.
The aim and objective of the scheme is to make the Socially & Physically disadvantaged groups to be a part of the community and display then skills and expertise in their respective crafts or traditional occupational vocations. Under the scheme exhibition will be held displaying the goods prepared by them in the stalls. This programme will create massive awareness in the community regarding the need and capabilities of the disadvantaged groups. The Voluntary organization will be assisted for their specific project for holding of the events on State and National / International Level. Funds required to be disbursed to NGOs for care giving training, this programme for Autism as earmarked will be utilized.
The aim of the scheme is to provide monthly unemployment allowance to disabled persons registered in Employment Exchange of Delhi. The allowance @Rs.350/- pm is given to those handicapped persons who are registered with Employment Exchange for last 2 years having more than 40% disability and are between the age of 18-55 years. From 207-08, this allowance is proposed to be enhanced from Rs.Rs.350/- to Rs.600/- pm. During 2006-07 Rs.0.18 lacs was incurred and 38 beneficiries were benefited
A separate department of Women and Child Development will be set up in term of announcement of by FM in Budget Speech
The aim and objectives of the scheme is to investigate, examine all matters relating to the safe guard provided for women under the laws and recommendation for the effective implementation of those safe guards for improving the condition of women, Evaluate the progress of the development of women etc.
The provision is made to release of GIA to DCW and salary for newly created post for the strengthen of DCW
The Social Welfare Department is maintaining and running 46 Institutions for providing care, protection and rehabilitation of the juveniles, women, senior citizens & beggars. Through this programme, the concept of creating social security to the target groups gets translated into reality.
The aim of the scheme is to provide a dignified proper and affordable shelter to women who are employed and do not have any living accommodation. The present number of Working Womens Hostel are full and not in a position to accommodate the large number of Women who are waiting allotments. Hence, there is an increasing need for constructing more Working Women Hostels. Presently there are 11 Working Women Hostel run by voluntary Organization. 13 new Working Woman Hostels to be constructed on priority. DDA has identified 9 sites and allotted land at Dheerpur, Najafgarh, Basant Village, Rani Bagh, Tughlakabad, Dilshad Garden, Narela, Bawana and Dwarka.
The Social Welfare department has made available a Working Women Hostel at Vishwash Nagar. The hostel has been handed over to YWCA.
Possession of land for construction of working women hostel at Tughlakabad and Basant Village has been taken over. DSIDC has been assigned the work of construction of hostel of 80 to 100 hostlers.
The aim of the scheme is to provide financial assistance to widows for self-employment who are without adequate means of subsistence, help them start some income generating profession etc. The benefit of the scheme can be availed by the widows who have no regular means of subsistence and whose income from all sources including that of the dependents does not exceed Rs.22,000/- per annum and in the age group of 18 years to below 60 years without any support financially. One time assistance Rs. 20,000/- is paid to widows in he age group of 18-45 years and Rs. 10,000/- of age group of above 45 below 60 year.
As per FM Budget Speech 2007-08, this scheme is proposed to be replaced by a new scheme Pension to widows from 2007
PENSION To WIDOWS ( Draft Scheme)
In order to provide social security by way of financial assistance to widows in the age group of 18 to below 60 years, Govt. of NCT of Delhi proposes to start a pension scheme for the widows, who are bonafide residents of Delhi and without adequate means of subsistence.
In the year 1997-98, the scheme of Financial Assistance to Widows was started, whereby widows in the age group of 18 to below 60 years were given one-time assistance to start some livelihood programme. However, it has been noticed that in practice, very few women are able to actually utilize the assistance effectively; for most it is reduced to just a one-time assistance which they use for their daily use until the money runs out and they are back to square one. Also, when the women get the assistance in lump sum, many unscrupulous people try to divest them of the money received. Additionally, the absence of any social security makes these women very vulnerable and at the mercy of others, resulting in their exploitation and a rise in corrupt practices. If we are to empower the women, esp. the more vulnerable ones, it is important to accord them some regular pension which can help sustain them without giving in to unwanted pressures.
Therefore, in order to maintain a continuous flow of money to the widows, a Scheme of Pension for Widows was decided to be introduced which would provide a regular source of income to the women on a quarterly basis.
A pension will be paid quarterly @ Rs. 600/- per month per head through ECS by RBI.

Studies in mice suggest a protective role for the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in arthritis. We investigated the role of TRAIL in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. We have shown that exposure to TRAIL induces apoptosis only in a portion of RA Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes (FLS) and that in the surviving cells, TRAIL induced proliferation. In the present study, we compared FLS resistant and RAFLS-sensible to TRAIL-induced apoptosis including levels of the TRAIL receptors (TRAIL-R) and clinical features of respective patient. Furthermore, we evaluated TRAIL levels in RA patients.
FLS were extracted from synovial tissue of RA patients (n=30) and analyzed by FACS for expression of TRAIL-receptors. We obtained DAS28 within the 3 months of surgery for 13 patients. TRAIL-responses of FLS were analyzed by FACS for apoptosis and thymidine-incorporation for proliferation. TRAIL receptor activity was assessed by RNA silencing. HIC were performed to evaluate TRAIL level in synovial tissues from RA (n=7) and OA patients (n=4). ELISA was used to determine TRAIL-levels in synovial fluid of osteoarthritis (OA; n=20), spondylarthritis (SpA; n=20) and establish RA patients (n=30). Serum levels of TRAIL and its soluble decoy-receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) were measured by ELISA in 72 patients fulfilling the ACR criteria (1987) with recent (<2 years) and active (>3 swollen joints) RA that were not treated or had a stable background treatment for at least 1 month (M0). 48 of the RA patients were followed up at 6 months (M6).
Depending on the patient, we observed variability in RAFLS sensitivity to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. We therefore classified the cultures depending on their sensitivity (<10%; RAFLS-R, n=10 and >at 30%, RAFLS-S, n=11). Disease activity of RA patients inversely correlated with susceptibility of FLS to TRAIL-induced apoptosis (r=-0.688, p=0.0092, n=13). TRAIL-S cells expressed significantly lower levels of TRAIL-R1 (p=0.014) and silencing of TRAIL-R1 increased TRAIL-induced apoptosis in RA FLS (p<0.05; n=7). TRAIL levels were elevated in the arthritic joints of patients with established RA and synovial fluids displayed elevated TRAIL levels compare to those of OA and SpA patients (p<0.0001 and p=0,002 respectively). In early RA, patients in remission at M6 (DAS28<2.6) (n=14) had a lower ratio OPG/ TRAIL at baseline than patients without remission (n=34) (0.54 ± 0.25 and 0.94 ± 0.71 respectively, p=0.028), but high serum levels of TRAIL at M6 were associated with joint damages (p=0.0063).
Surprisingly, TRAIL-R1 seems to be a survival factor protecting RAFLS against TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we found a negative correlation between TRAIL sensitivity RAFLS in vitro and RA activity, suggesting that RAFLS develop resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis to escape TRAIL protective role. Indeed, in early RA patient, a low OPG/TRAIL ratio at baseline was associated with remission at 6 months but persistent TRAIL serum levels are associated with joint damage. These findings suggest a dual role for TRAIL in RA and resistance of RA FLS to TRAIL-induced apoptosis is associated with a disease promoting activity of TRAIL in RA.

Discover the history of architecture through the RIBA's collection of 2,000 periodical titles. Today, the British Architectural Library looks at the hopes and plans for New York's Central Park as it was being constructed in 1862:
When The Building News in September 1862 was describing the New York commissioners' report on the progress being made on the construction of Central Park, it seemed to be in awe of the statistics and ambition of their efforts. Some of the statistics it gives are impressive. At the start of 1862, four years after construction began, The Building News stated that the following quantities of materials had been excavated from the site:
- 1,992,00 cubic yards of earth-works and other materials
- 300,000 cubic yards of rock
- 70,000 cubic yards of masonry
The amount of masonry removed is a reminder of the fact that the land upon which Central Park stands was not a pristine wilderness. It was mostly rough but inhabited ground and its occupants were removed to allow Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's vision to be implemented. Some of the plans were never realised, such as the creation of 20 gates, each manned by a keeper, and the move of the New York Historical Society and New York Lyceum Society to permanent bases in the park. The greater aim of creating a public amenity "for the benefit of the people" was achieved.
This journal article was published exactly 150 years ago during the early years of the project which, by its completion, created a mixed landscape of pastoral, picturesque and formal elements covering 843 acres. In the RIBA's collections are contemporary photoprints of key man-made landmarks of the new park such as the bridges which were mostly designed by Vaux. In today's post, Bow Bridge is shown as it was in the 1860s amongst young trees while grass lawns surround the Trefoil Arch. Today, mature trees and abundant vegetation (at least in the summer) are the settings for those same features.
The park's decline in the early 20th century – and recent rejuvination – was far into the future when The Building News was at pains to describe its civilising atmosphere. It was a place for those with "purity in morals and manners, and who appreciate the beautiful in art and nature." There were only 93 arrests made in the previous year when 2.5 million visits were made.
A century and a half separates us from the publication of this article which ends with the hope that the extensive alterations and improvements proposed by the commissioners, if implemented, will result in: "the noblest public park in the world". Time has shown that the energy of New Yorkers has made this happen.

Erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediment into receiving waters can have substantial environmental and economic impacts. Sedimentation basins are a remediation technique used to limit sediment transport from earth disturbance activities. Retention efficiency is used as a measure of a sedimentation basin's effectiveness.
Several factors influence retention efficiency including the type of principal spillway used. The most common spillway is the perforated riser which dewaters the basin throughout its entire vertical profile. However, a relatively new outlet device, the skimmer, has been developed, which dewaters the basin from the water surface.
A laboratory study was conducted to compare the skimmer with the perforated riser for three different soil types and determine if there were any significant differences in the trapping efficiencies of the two outlets. The test basin dewatered over a three hour period. The parameters observed were dewatering rate, effluent sediment concentration, sediment loss rate, and retention efficiency.
The skimmer treatments consistently had higher values of sediment retention efficiencies. A statistical analysis performed on the retention efficiency data showed that retention efficiency was not influenced by any combination of outlet and soil type and that outlet was significant at the 5% level. Overall, the skimmer outperformed the perforated riser for all soil types tested.
Additionally, retention efficiencies were predicted for shorter dewatering times. The results indicated shorter dewatering times may have smaller impacts on the retention efficiency of basins where the skimmer is utilized rather than the perforated riser.

Stephens Co. Commission To Meet Later Today
Stephens County Commissioners are expected to re-visit discussions today about a letter of support the county has issued for a proposed multi-million dollar project to interconnect area water systems.
Madison and Elbert County officials are seeking $10 million in state grant funds from the Governor's Water Supply Program to interconnect water systems in five northeast Georgia counties, Stephens, Franklin, Madison, Elbert, and Oglethorpe.
Last month, Stephens County Commissioners signed a letter of support for the project, but only after Toccoa Mayor David Austin told county commissioners the city had signed a letter of support for the project.
However, city commissioners had never discussed that letter and Wednesday, the commission voted to revoke the city's letter of support.
County commissioners Dennis Bell and Debbie Whitlock both attended Wednesday's city commission called meeting and expressed their own concerns about the project. Bell has said previously that when county commissioners voted to sign the letter of support, they assumed the city had looked at it closely.
The county commission will start its meeting at 5:30 p.m. today in the second-floor courtroom of the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa.
Prior to their work session and business meeting, Stephens County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the county's ordinances regarding timber harvesting.
A first reading of that ordinance amendment is also on the agenda for today's county commission meeting.

Snake River Conspiracy Biography
After leaving his former band to explore more challenging musical horizons, reclusive ex-Third Eye Blind bass player Jason Slater found work on the Los Angeles, California music scene as a producer working with artists including Sugar Ray, Orgy, Prizefighter and Isaac Hayes. At the same time Slater was constantly writing material for a new project to be the antithesis of Third Eye Blinds increasingly bland direction. Noting the predominance and success of female-fronted pop outfits, although singularly unimpressed by all of them, Slater saw the commercial potential of recruiting a strong, attractive female vocalist to front his next band. A chance meeting with exotic dancer Tobey Torres at a Northern California strip club saw Snake River Conspiracy come to fruition. The statuesque Torres smouldering sexuality not only made her visually perfect for the new outfit, but her vocal ability was a perfect foil for Slaters jump-cut amalgam of industrial, electro, pop and rock styles. Releasing their 1999 debut EP Vulcan (which included a cover version of the Beatles She Said She Said), the title track was an expletive-laden blast of vitriolic electro pop. Another EP Smells Like Teen Punk Meat followed before the bands debut, Sonic Jihad, was released in 2000 to overwhelmingly enthusiastic reviews. Dark and edgy, Torres persuasive vocals ranged from sickly sweet to a feral roar and were fully stretched over the ambitious arrangements with Strangled featuring a sample from Diamonds Are Forever and searing cover versions of the Cures Lovesong and the Smiths How Soon Is Now?.

The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States
Basic Books, Aug 15, 2001 - Political Science - 479 pages
Most Americans take for granted their right to vote, whether they choose to exercise it or not. But the history of suffrage in the U.S. is, in fact,the story of a struggle to achieve this right by our society's marginalized groups. In The Right to Vote, Duke historian Alexander Keyssar explores the evolution of suffrage over the course of the nation's history. Examining the many features of the history of the right to vote in the U.S.Ńclass, ethnicity, race, gender, religion, and ageŃthe book explores the conditions under which American democracy has expanded and contracted over the years.Keyssar presents convincing evidence that the history of the right to vote has not been one of a steady history of expansion and increasing inclusion, noting that voting rights contracted substantially in the U.S. between 1850 and 1920. Keyssar also presents a controversial thesis: that the primary factor promoting the expansion of the suffrage has been war and the primary factors promoting contraction or delaying expansion have been class tension and class conflict.
