Witness: Images of Auschwitz
This book is a legacy of enormous historical importance. At a time when many are actually denying the existence of the Holocaust, we have decided to publish for the first time this important visual eye witness evidence. David Olère, the only artist to survive imprisonment in Auschwitz, drew upon his own experiences as a laborer in the gas chambers, furnaces, and examination rooms to illustrate what actually went on within the crematorium and other places that no photographer entered until after the war. The drawings are accompanied by a moving text written by Olère's son, based on his father's experiences. This book will make you feel like an eye witness yourself. This work is published so that those who never experienced the Holocaust and all future generations may witness themselves, through Olère's eyes, the terrible cruelty of which political systems with unchecked power are capable. Some of the images in this book are very disturbing. We do not recommend it for children. An estimated six million Jews were systematically exterminated by Hitler's SS during World War II. This slaughter took place at several camps throughout Europe. Primary among these was Auschwitz II at Birkenau, Poland, where more than a million people were sent to the gas chambers—most of them Jews. The SS offered a few prisoners the chance to work in exchange for a little more time to live, but this usually was only a slower form of death. Only about one out of a hundred people deported to Auschwitz survived the war. One of the cruelest forms of forced labor was the corps of SonderKommando, prisoners who had to work in the crematoria. They were constantly driven to work faster to keep up with the intense schedule of slaughter. When they were too exhausted to satisfy their persecutors, they were sent into the gas chambers themselves. The typical life span of these unfortunates ranged from a few hours to a few weeks. Only a handful of SonderKommando survived the war. One of these was David Olère, a Jewish artist who was born in Poland, but had emigrated to France. He was arrested in 1943 and managed to survive nearly two years at Auschwitz, primarily because the SS desired to make use of his artistic and linguistic skills. While his wife and son hid out in France, Olère witnessed unbelievable sights never recorded by cameras: the rape and murder of young women; live babies being thrown into burning trenches; Jews, Christians, and Communists celebrating Christmas together at Auschwitz, a Catholic priest who elected to go to the gas chambers himself rather than abandon a young Jewish boy whose care had been charged to him; and worst of all, the horrendous work in Crematorium III. As soon as he was liberated, Olère began to sketch scenes, portraits, and diagrams from memory. These constitute the only visual record of much of what went on at Auschwitz. His drawings were used by those charged with investigating the Holocaust and now hang in museums around the world.

Armagh manager Paul Grimley hopeful as star trio bid to overturn brawl bans
Armagh manager Paul Grimley expects to learn tonight just how strong his team will be to confront Monaghan in the second Ulster senior football Championship semi-final tomorrow week.
An appeal by three of his players against one-match bans proposed by the Central Competitions Control Committee will be heard at Croke Park and the outcome is crucial to Armagh's prospects of reaching the Ulster final.
Andy Mallon, Brendan Donaghy and Kieran Toner are due to appear in front of the Hearings Committee in a bid to have their suspensions, imposed following the Armagh v Cavan pre-match fracas on Sunday week last, rescinded.
Grimley is keeping his fingers crossed that the sanctions can be overturned and is anxious to have a full-strength side to face reigning champions Monaghan.
The Armagh boss insists he has the support of his county board in the campaign to have the bans overturned.
"We will be putting what we feel is a strong case tonight and obviously the hope is that the bans can be rescinded. It's important that the whole focus remains on our match against Monaghan whatever happens," states Grimley.
Dublin-based Mallon, along with fellow-veterans Donaghy and Toner, were outstanding in the quarter-final win over Cavan, a result that has sparked a renewed bout of football fervour within a county which has claimed seven Ulster titles since 1999.
The potential loss of three such seasoned players for the confrontation with Malachy O'Rourke's buoyant Monaghan would be a massive blow to the Orchard County.
The flare-up between members of the opposing teams made national headlines – something that is known to have disappointed Grimley in particular, who continues to back the stance taken by his side in respect to their positioning in the already infamous pre-match parade.
Farney county boss O'Rourke will certainly be among those paying close attention to tonight's hearing.
"Armagh are going to present a serious obstacle to us. I was very impressed with their performance against Cavan. They are very physically strong so we have to keep our heads down and prepare as best we can for them," said O'Rourke.

Charles Kenny is an optimist. He's the author of several book about global development, including Getting Better: Why Global Development Is Succeeding--And How We Can Improve the World Even More, which was widely hailed across the spectrum and personally endorsed by Bill Gates.
Charles is a fellow with Center for Global Development where his work focuses on a wide array of topics, including the intersection of gender and development and we kick off with a discussion of some new research he's worked on about strategies to reduce the prevalence of female genital mutilation--otherwise known as FGM. (If you are not aware, FGM is the deliberate cutting of female genitalia, often as part of a traditional ceremony in a girl's adolescence. And Charles has researched policies in countries that helped to sharply reduce the number of girls subjected to this practice.)
Charles was born in the United Kingdom to a British father and American mother. He traces the roots of his optimism to his charmed upbringing in academic communities around Oxford and Cambridge. He had a long career at the World Bank before settling into his perch at the Center for Global Development, from which he has written a couple of books--both of which we discuss.
This is a great conversation--and we do have an interesting discussion about the problem of measuring country's well being exclusively by looking at its economic growth.

Carson Daly Joins Today Show (TVNewser)
Carson Daly is joining the Today show as the host of what NBC calls a first-of-its-kind digital studio, dubbed the Orange Room. Daly will continue to host The Voice, and NBC's New Year's Eve special, but is giving up Last Call as NBC decides the fate of that late, late show.

Twitter Files for IPO (AllTwitter)
Would you buy shares in Twitter? Well, pretty soon you're going to have the opportunity, as the company has submitted a form to the Securities and Exchange Commission for a planned Initial Public Offering (IPO). AppNewser The company broke the news a simple tweet that was retweeted well-over 4,000 times in 20 minutes. Then, it added: "Now, back to work." GigaOM Twitter's note that this is a confidential filing means the company's annual revenue is less than $1 billion. Sources familiar with Twitter's thinking tell us the company has recently received bids from hedge funds offering to buy shares in the company from employees and investors for between $26 and $28 a share, which would value Twitter at $14 billion. TechCrunch Facebook's IPO, for comparison, valued the social giant at around $100 billion on the day of its flotation. The irony here is that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at Disrupt told the world that it should not be afraid of going public.

CBS' Julie Chen Says Eyelid Surgery Saved Her Career (NY Mag / The Cut)
During a discussion of plastic surgery trends on The Talk, longtime news journalist Julie Chen showed before and after pictures from the eyelid surgery she got early in her career to give her a Caucasian-style double eyelid. She says she did it at the behest of media honchos who advised that she could not succeed with Asian eyes. TVNewser When Chen was a local news reporter in Ohio she asked the news director if she could fill in as an anchor. Chen says the news director told her, "You will never be on this anchor desk, because you're Chinese." Jezebel Chen's co-anchor Sheryl Underwood was quick to make it clear to Chen that she "didn't give in to 'the man.' Because you didn't know about giving in to 'the man,'" implying that Chen couldn't truly know about racial pressures because she's not black. Sharon Osbourne, the queen of plastic surgery, agreed.

Rick Stengel to Leave Time for U.S. State Department (Capital New York)
Richard Stengel, the top editor of Time magazine for the past seven years, is planning to step down as managing editor for a new job at the U.S. Department of State, sources familiar with the situation tell Capital New York and Politico. Stengel's looming exit is the latest sign of disruption at a venerable publisher that has been grappling with leadership changes and financial hardships. NYT Stengel succeeds Tara Sonenshine, who held the post with Secretaries of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry before leaving in July. Before that, the position was occupied by Judith A. McHale, a former chief executive of Discovery Communications, who worked under Clinton and left the position in 2011.

Media Shield Act Moves on to The Full Senate (The Washington Post / National Security)
A Senate panel on Thursday backed legislation that would offer protections to a broad variety of journalists who do not want to divulge their confidential sources of information. The key point of debate over the bill, which was advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 13 to five vote, had been the definition of a journalist. TechDirt There have been debates on setting up a special journalist shield law for many years, and every time it comes up it leads to something problematic, as various supporters suddenly want to narrowly define what a journalist is, often in a manner that carves out new forms of media.

The Story Behind the Putin Op-Ed Article (NYT / Public Editor's Journal)
The Times editorial department was approached Wednesday by an American public relations firm that represents Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, offering the piece. Also on Wednesday, Putin's spokesman, in the course of an interview about Syria, mentioned to the Times' Moscow bureau chief Steven Lee Myers that an article was in the works. Editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal agreed to review the article and quickly decided to publish it. It was posted on the Times website by Wednesday evening. BuzzFeed / World A public relations firm responsible for placing a controversial op-ed under Putin's byline in The New York Times on Wednesday says that Putin wrote the piece himself. "The opinion piece was written by President Putin and submitted to The New York Times on his behalf by Ketchum for their consideration," a spokesperson for Ketchum said in an email to BuzzFeed on Thursday. Poynter / MediaWire The Washington Post's Max Fisher annotates Putin's now-famous op-ed for the Times. By my count, Fisher's post contains 992 words of the 1,074 that ran under the Russian president's byline. One of the four "beans on the scale" when deciding if something falls under fair use doctrine is the "amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole." FishbowlNY We like to imagine Rosenthal sent Putin's team an email promising Putin exposure via a byline, but no payment.

Riptide's White, Male History of Journalism (CJR / Minority Reports)
There's a concept in psychology called "inattentional blindness." In study after study, if people are focused on one task, they will literally not see something else right in front of them — like someone in a gorilla suit beating her chest in the middle of a group of people who are throwing a ball around. I wonder if inattentional blindness is what happened with the Riptide project. LinkedIn / Rachel Sklar The words "women" "gender" "hispanic" "diversity" "minorities" "Latino" and "African-American" are not included in the report. After the predictable blowback about Riptide's lack of diversity (predictable to anyone who is conscious of diversity issues, that is), the authors doubled down on their choices in a blog post, saying that they'd "sought to interview many of the key people" in the institutions key to their story, and "at that time, they were, regrettably, overwhelmingly white and male."

Not long after the Newtown shootings last December, Ed O'Keefe was in the NowThis News newsroom when a Facebook profile some claimed to be the shooter's circulated on social media and via some news organizations. The profile was Ryan Lanza's; the gunman turned out to be his brother, Adam Lanza.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Inc. said Thursday that its first-quarter profit plunged 81 percent, but deep cost cuts helped the lodging company's adjusted results beat Wall Street's expectations.
The company, however, effectively pulled its full-year guidance and forecast second-quarter results that fell short of analysts' forecasts.
Like others in the sector, Starwood has been slashing expenses to contend with a sharp drop in business and leisure travel during the recession. In a note to investors, Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Woronka said Starwood's results were similar to those of rivals, like Marriott International Inc., that also beat first-quarter expectations "despite fairly ugly core operating results."
The White Plains, N.Y.-based company said first-quarter profit slid to $6 million, or 3 cents per share. That's down from $32 million, or 17 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding items such as severance costs, restructuring charges and losses on a hotel sale, earnings from continuing operations totaled 14 cents per share.
Revenue for the period ended March 31 dropped 24 percent to $1.12 billion from $1.47 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, whose estimates normally exclude one-time items, forecast earnings of 3 cents per share on revenue of $1.14 billion.
In the first quarter, Starwood's revenue per available room fell 23.5 percent at hotels that have been open at least one year. Revenue per available room, or revpar, is a key gauge of a hotelier's performance determined by occupancy and room rates.
Worldwide revpar for Starwood-branded hotels open at least a year sagged 31.6 percent.
Revenue from vacation ownership and residential sales slid 30.1 percent in the quarter as consumers avoided purchases of big-ticket items. Starwood said the average price of a vacation ownership unit sold dropped 24.6 percent to roughly $18,000, as the sales mix was weighted toward lower-priced inventory. The number of contracts signed tumbled 34.6 percent from a year ago.
To contend with sharp revpar declines and its flagging timeshare business, Starwood reduced its selling, general and administrative expenses by 28.5 percent to $93 million during the quarter.
"The current environment has pushed us to be aggressive in cutting costs and judicious in our capital allocation," Chief Executive Frits van Paasschen said in a statement.
In January, Starwood said it had terminated roughly 900 employees, closed nine sales centers and shuttered three call centers since the beginning of 2008.
The company also halted development on vacation ownership projects in their initial stages.
Starwood has said its cost-cutting program, which will be completed during the second quarter, is expected to result in about $100 million of savings in 2010.
Citing "uncertainty in the global economy," Starwood declined to provide specific earnings guidance for the second half of 2009 – effectively pulling its previous full-year earnings guidance of roughly $1.10 per share. Analysts expect 2009 earnings per share of 92 cents.
Friedman Billings Ramsey analyst C. Patrick Scholes said Starwood's decision "seems odd to us as other companies that have reported and had previously provided forward guidance actually cited a slight improvement in visibility over the past several months."
The company also predicted second-quarter adjusted earnings of about 14 cents to 20 cents per share, missing analysts' consensus forecast of 23 cents per share.

MLB labels umpire report 'inaccurate'
MLB labels umpire report 'inaccurate'
Major League Baseball has issued a strong denial to a story published on Wednesday reporting that members of its security department were sent to the hometowns of some umpires last year investigating their backgrounds and asking "inappropriate" questions. "The claims of inappropriate questioning by individuals conducting background checks was brought to our attention and looked into," Jimmie Lee Solomon, MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations, said in a statement. "After investigation, it was determined that these claims were inaccurate. Questioning was conducted with a written script consistent with common practice and there was no inappropriate conduct on behalf of the investigators." MLB stepped up its background checks of umpires last summer after National Basketball Association referee Tim Donaghy was being investigated by the FBI for gambling on professional basketball games. He has since pleaded guilty to wire fraud and interstate commerce charges, but has yet to be sentenced. NBA Commissioner David Stern said at the time that the issue resided in the actions of one referee and was not a league-wide problem.
John Hirschbeck, the president of the World Umpires Association, told The Associated Press that MLB security officials subsequently questioned neighbors regarding whether certain umpires ever had been members of the Ku Klux Clan, a white supremacist group based in the south, among other matters. "The questions that we found out are being asked are about beating wives, marijuana use and extravagant parties," Hirschbeck said. "And then finally with this whole thing about the Ku Klux Klan. "You get someone from security, shows his credentials and starts asking these kind of questions, and right away what's the neighbor going to think other than the umpire is in trouble, he's done something wrong and he's going to lose his job?" Hirschbeck said that Tom Christopher, a longtime supervisor of security and investigations for the Commissioner's Office, had gone to Kentucky to seek information about Klan membership regarding umpires Greg Gibson and Sam Holbrook. In addition, Christopher had been in St. Louis to ask similar questions about umpire Ron Kulpa, and Hirschbeck had encountered Christopher in his own Ohio neighborhood just prior to Christmas. Christopher declined to comment for the AP story. Since the turn of the New Year, MLB has established a Dept. of Investigations separate from its security detail to look into allegations made either publicly or privately against baseball-related personnel, including players. That concept was one of the major recommendations made by former Sen. George Mitchell in his report about the use of performance-enhancing drugs by Major League players. The report, which named more than 80 players as using drugs, plus a number of club employees and officials for being complicit, was issued on Dec. 13.
Barry M. Bloom is a national reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

"**** Hilariously funny and delightfully nostalgic."
– Jennifer Merin, About.com
A film by Mevlut Akkaya, Ron Frank & Lawrence Richards
Featuring: Robert Klein, Jerry Lewis, Sid Ceasar, Jerry Stiller,
Jackie Mason,
Larry King, Marc Maron, Hugh Hefner, Mort Sahl, Mickey Freeman
US • 2013 • 77 mins • 16:9 Digital Formats •
to official website
This remarkable documentary presents an entertaining portrait of this country's greatest generation of comedians - the generation that includes the likes of Jerry Lewis, Sid Caesar, Robert Klein, Jackie Mason, Mort Sahl, Jerry Stiller, Larry King, and others, all of whom make appearances in the film, sharing hilarious and personal experiences.
Why are there so many Jewish comedians? In the 1970's when Jews represented 3% of the U.S. population, they made up 80% of professional comedians. Why is it that a nation which once laughed at the folk humor of Will Rogers, ended it captivated by the urbane parodies of "Seinfeld"? Is there a common denominator that made some Jewish-Americans comedy legends? What is their legacy? And in the immortal words of Butch Cassidy, "Who are those guys?"
The answer to this question lies in the Catskill Mountains, aka the Borscht Belt, where Jewish immigrants transformed lush farmland into the 20th century's largest resort complex. Those Catskill hotels and bungalow colonies provided a comedy boot camp where a remarkable group of young comedians honed their craft to become worldwide legends.
The film features interviews and comic performances by Jerry Lewis, Jerry Stiller, Sid Ceasar, Mort Sahl, Hugh Hefner, Larry King, Jackie Mason and Mickey Freeman. It is hosted by the one and only Robert Klein, and pays homage through archive clips to many other Catskill veterans such as Danny Kaye, Mel Brooks, Red Buttons, Buddy Hackett, Lenny Bruce, Henny Youngman, Don Rickles, Totie Fields, and Rodney Dangerfield to name a few. And then there was the next generation: Billy Crystal, Joan Rivers, Woody Allen and a very young Jerry Seinfeld who followed in their footsteps.
It was truly WHEN COMEDY WENT TO SCHOOL.

'Tis the season for appetizers, whether its a Christmas eve celebration, Christmas dinner or a New Year's eve cocktail party, chances are that appetizers are going to play a roll. And because appetizers are always my favorite part of parties, over the next week I'm going to be sharing a few different appetizers to add to your party spread. First up are these Scallion Cream Cheese Bites. They are quick, they are easy, they are bite size and not to mention they look pretty good on your table.
Sometimes naming recipes can be the hardest part of recipe writing. You want it to be something that will get people's attention. Something that will make people say "Oh yum I want to eat that". When I was creating these little guys, I wasn't quite sure what to name them. I tried them first to see if that would help. After one bite my immediate thought was "Little Pockets of Onion Cream Cheese Goodness". But after thinking a little, I decided that that probably wasn't the best way to go. Too long. After a quick chat and a sample, my ever ready taste tester and in this case recipe name creator, Ryan, made the executive decision for me and named these little guys Scallion Cream Cheese Bites. Pretty good job on his part. I think it sounds very cocktail party. Very New Year's Eve if you will. But no matter what you call them, these little bites are sure to please just about everyone.
In a bowl combine cream cheese, green onions and ginger. Season to taste with salt.
To assemble bites: Lay one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon one teaspoon of mixture into the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and run along the edges. Bring all sides together in the center, pinch just above the filling to enclose filling. Carefully twist to close. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once oil starts to shimmer, drip a small piece of a wonton wrapper in the oil, if it sizzles its ready. Working in batches so you don't over crowd the pan, fry bites until golden brown, 2 - 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with kosher salt if desired. Allow to cool for several minutes. Serve.
If you're looking for a dip for these, I suggest a little Sweet Thai Chili Sauce or Plum Sauce. Enjoy!

remedies available to it by law, to refuse to accept any
such gas through the issuance of an OFO. Company may, at

Giving evidence before a Commons committee hearing into the arrest of Mr Green, the Tory immigration spokesman, Mr Johnson revealed that he warned the acting head of the Metropolitan police that the "disproportionate" arrest would go off "like a rocket".
And he implicitly criticised the force, which he is responsible as chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority, for launching a criminal investigation into a political matter.
The Mayor told MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee: "It is very important that leaks and leak inquiries and information revealed by MPs in the course of their duties and operations, particularly in opposition or even supporting government policies, should not in principle be matters of criminal procedures."
Mr Johnson revealed that he was first tipped off by Sir Paul Stephenson, the then- acting head of the Met, that "something was up" on the morning of Mr Green's arrest last November by police investigating leaks by a junior civil servant at the Home Office.
After he was later told that Mr Green was on the point of being detained, the Mayor contacted Sir Paul to express his concerns.
He told MPs: "It appeared to me at first blush that if the facts were as they stated them, then obviously there would be a hoo-ha, or a kafuffle or a commotion or a controversy.
"I think the phrase I used was that this thing would go off like a rocket. You would have to have pretty good reason to ensure that the arrest of a member of this House was not a disproportionate response to a leak inquiry.
"I was worried that the business of arresting an MP in the House of Commons on the basis of a leak inquiry, which is usually dealt with by internal disciplinary proceedings, rightly, would become a political storm."
Mr Johnson was pressed over whether he discussed the arrest with David Cameron on the day of Mr Green's detention.
He admitted that he saw the Tory leader at a memorial service at Southwark Cathedral, but said that the two did not have an opportunity to discuss the case as he was moved from the front row by Gordon Brown.
"The Prime Minister was appalled by the idea that I might be sitting next to him and I was moved some distance from the front row," he said.
Mr Green and the civil servant, Christopher Galley, remain on police bail and are expected to learn within weeks whether they will face criminal charges.

It is becoming more common place to see requests from customers who need to place a firewall between Lync Pools. Maybe the servers are separated by large geography or in different datacenters or the InfoSec team requires firewalls between applications (zoning). Now Microsoft has published very good information on what ports are needed for the different roles and services in Lync Server and Client. However, what about other Windows services that Lync uses? Troubleshooting firewalls and ports is a pain and can lead to extra work when something doesn't work as expected. One of those key services in particular is DCOM.
The DCOM ports are used in conjunction with RPC (135) for moving users, user replication synchronization and address book synchronization. Now Microsoft does states that you need port 135 in their TechNet article and the protocol does say DCOM and RPC. However, most people will assume that 135 is all you need. That's where the mistake happens. Now most Network and InfoSec teams are not going to be too happy when you call them up and say that you need port 1024-65535 opened up between your two pools. In fact, we know what they will say.
Let's take a typical move-csuser request. A NetMon trace will show that their is an initial RPC request occurs on behalf of the svchost.exe process over port 135 however the actual "work" will occur over DCOM and utilize the high port range. If this port range is blocked due to a firewall you'll get an error from the PowerShell command saying that DCOM isn't available.
To address the large number of ports DCOM uses by default, Microsoft has published a procedure to configure DCOM to work with firewalls. Leveraging the procedure found here one can modify the registry and restrict DCOM to use a specific port range. Microsoft recommends a minimum of 100 ports for this protocol. That's much less than what we started out with. You can get the articles below along with some of my favorite tools for network troubleshooting.
In this example ports 5000 through 5100 inclusive have been arbitrarily selected to help illustrate how the new registry key can be configured. This is not a recommendation of a minimum number of ports needed for any particular system.
- Add the Internet key under:
- Under the Internet key, add the values "Ports" (MULTI_SZ), "PortsInternetAvailable" (REG_SZ), and "UseInternetPorts" (REG_SZ).
For example, the new registry key appears as follows:
Ports: REG_MULTI_SZ: 5000-5100
PortsInternetAvailable: REG_SZ: Y
UseInternetPorts: REG_SZ:
- Restart the server. All applications that use RPC dynamic port allocation use ports 5000 through 5100, inclusive. In most environments, a minimum of 100 ports should be opened, because several system services rely on these RPC ports to communicate with each other.

- Configuring DCOM to work with your firewall
- Ports used by Windows Services
- PSPing: Works with both TCP and UDP protocols and is a great way to test your firewall ports before going production. Seriously…USE THIS!
- NetMon with Lync Parsers: Just what is going on at the network layer? You configured Lync to work on port X but it's actually talking on port Y.
- Fiddler: A must have tool for every Lync professional. Great for troubleshooting browsers.

New Delhi (IANS) The Congress on Thursday said it was "unfortunate" that Rohini Salian, special public prosecutor in 2008 Malegaon blasts case, was pressurised by National Investigative Agency (NIA) to "go soft" in the case.
"It's unfortunate. There should not be any discrimination between two types of terrorism and it should be dealt with firmly," Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmed told IANS.
Media reports had quoted Salian saying that ever since the NDA government took over at Centre, there was pressure on her to go soft in the Malegaon blasts case of 2008.
The Congress leader said that the allegation puts a serious question mark on the central government's intention to fight terror.
"This puts a big question mark on government's intention to firmly deal with terrorism, and it also lowers prestige of an agency like NIA," he said.
The 2008 Malegaon bomb blasts involved some Hindu fundamentalists, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.
"An NIA officer called last year and asked to meet me. He wanted me to go soft on the accused in the case," Salian told media persons earlier in the day in Mumbai.
The 68-year-old criminal law expert said she suspected that the officer — whom she declined to identify — was apparently acting under instructions from the NIA's higher officials.
"The same officer met me again on June 12 and conveyed orally that I would be replaced by some other lawyer in this case. I asked him to settle my bill and denotify me as the prosecutor in the case. Till date, however, no notification has been issued replacing me with some other lawyer nor have my bills been settled," said Salian, who commands a lengthy experience as a police prosecutor.

Glimpse (which stands for GLobal IMPlicit SEarch) is an indexing
and query system that allows you to search through all your
files very quickly. For example, finding 296 lines containing
'whitehouse' in 8750 files occupying 104MB took 6 seconds on a
SUN Sparc 5. Glimpse supports most of agrep's options (agrep is our
powerful version of grep) including approximate matching (e.g.,
finding mis- spelled words), Boolean queries, and even some limited
forms of regular expressions. It is used in the same way, except that
you don't have to specify file names. So, if you are looking for a
needle anywhere in your file system, all you have to do is say
glimpse needle and all lines containing needle will appear preceded
by the file name.

With the exception of those looking to be comfortably seated, it is fair to state that most live music fans prefer their gigs in smaller venues where you can get up close to the performing musicians. Hell, many even automatically pass on 40,000+ stadium events and raise an eyebrow when even their favourite artists are booked at an arena. Exceptions are few and far between, but I recall an article from a couple of years back, where the live show reviewer wished that a NYC show had been held at an arena, rather than a club. Why? The singer was Florence Welch and the room was quite simply not large enough to do her booming voice justice. At the time, I thought "Codswallop"… Having now seen the flame-haired songstress perform live at the 10,000+ capacity Rod Laver Arena, I can understand where the writer was coming from.
First up, however, was Blood Orange… the solo side-project of Devonte Hynes (better known as Lightspeed Champion). Undoubtedly a strange choice as support, he clearly got the gig due to his sporadic writing and producing partnership with Florence + The Machine. Armed with nothing but a laptop (complete with the annoying lit-up fruit beaming into the audience), a keyboard & his guitar, Hynes struggled to garner any interest from the crowd apart from the strange images portrayed on his projector. In all honesty though, it was a decent half-hour set, with the sultry melodies & Hynes' flamboyant guitar-work often shining through. It was simply a matter of him showing his wares to what was undeniably an inappropriate audience, which clearly suggested the night's headline act had well and truly crossed over into the mainstream.
With the aforementioned audience seemingly containing all ages and genders of music lovers, the crowd were steadily brought to rapture as the instruments of The Machine (including harp) were unveiled, and the 5 musicians & 2 backing vocalists walked out on to stage. Using the art-deco set to advantage, Florence's silhouette was then illuminated, before walking out to a surprisingly raucous response. Dressed in a black, floor-length cape, Welch immediately captured everyone's attention with a stunning rendition of 'Ceremonials' opener 'Only If For a Night'. At this stage, this was anything but a pop concert, with Florence's haunting – verging on supernatural – persona and commanding voice, holding everyone's attention as if a script had to be followed. The ethereal vibe continued for much of the first half hour with 'What the Water Gave Me' providing a superb early-set highlight, before 'Spectrum' and 'Heartlines' made for a fantastic one-two punch.
As the night wore on, Florence became much more animated as she skipped around the stage, engaged in banter with the audience and flashed that radiant smile. 'Lungs' singles 'Rabbit Heart', 'Dog Days Are Over' and 'Cosmic Love' were clearly fan favorites, as was encore duo 'Never Let Me Go' and 'No Light, No Light'. One of the only let-downs of the night was the absence of (my song of 2009) 'Drumming Song' and (arguably her most successful release) 'You've Got the Love'. Otherwise, this was what I would term the perfect pop concert for non-pop fans… Not only were their plenty of intangibles which brought some X-factor, but it was ultimately Florence's talent which shone through, since her magnificent voice simply could not be ignored. This is one arena show not to be missed.

5,000 Years of Marriage?
Leaving aside both the argument that what we have always done we must always continue to do and any of the merits or demerits of gay marriage, the basic factual claim being offered is hugely false in a number of ways. If we really were bound by the commonality of historical precedent in human history, our marriage statutes would look quite radically different than they do today, and quite different from what the Federal Marriage Amendment proposes.
For one, to make contemporary marriage continguous with the generality of historical precedent, we'd absolutely need to have a provision for polygamy. Over the broad span of human experience, it's a much more common form of marriage arrangement, and often has been legally or quasi-legally sanctioned and defined.
We'd probably need some statutes recognizing legal or contractual arrangements like concubinage, which have also been somewhat common.
We'd need some provisions for eunuchs and their relationship to married households--reasonably though not universally common.
We'd probably need some statutes regulating bridewealth and dowry options: very common in the past 5,000 years.
I don't think there would be a huge amount of precedent for dealing with exclusively homosexual marriages or contracts in that 5,000 years of history, but certainly many societies, including classical Greece, somewhat formally or quasi-legally recognized male-male relations as legitimate and even approved. Lesbians, as far as formal precedent in past human societies go, are kind of out of luck: there's far fewer structural or institutional forms relating to female-female bonds or contracts. (Though lesbian acts and relations have probably been as common or more common than male homosexual acts or relations over the past 5,000 years.)
If the supporters of the FMA want to be clear that they are defending the modern, Western innovation of the exclusively heterosexual companionate marriage, then I have no factual quibbles. If they want to assert that the general norm of human sexuality over the longue duree is heterosexual, I might be able to agree, as long as they'll agree to the proviso that homosexual acts have been a part of every society I know of and have often not been stigmatized or suppressed. But they can't possibly claim that the long-term history of marriage in every human society is one man to one woman, till death do they part. Marriage and its associated practices (divorce, inheritance, household structure) is one of the more variable social forms in human experience. The FMA has little to do with 5,000 years of human history: this is a distinctively modern debate, being fought about the terms of modern life.

I would add that I don't think the Colorado amendment was a "gender issue", only that the rational relations test applied (sexual orientation had not been held by the USSC as deserving of strict scrutiny protection). My point was that the USSC might assimilate the orientation question to the gender question, and now give both intermediate scrutiny protection -- whatever the hell that means.
Richard Henry Morgan - 2/26/2004
Just to return to the Nussbaum question, and the legal questions for a moment.
I think Bradley's point is this. The suit was brought in state court alleging that the state amendment violated the federal constitution -- yes, as weird as it may seem, state judges do sometimes decide issues of state law based on the federal constitution.
The USSC had not, until that point (and here I'm thinking that this preceeded the VMI case), made gender a category deserving strict scrutiny, only the rational relations test -- if they had some reasonable basis, then that would be sufficient to sustain the amendment. Thus, a disagreement between scholars would not invalidate the amendment. In the VMI case, as is her wont (O'Connor spent time in the Arizona legislature), O'Connor played Mother Courage and split the baby -- gender differences in the law deserve "intermediate scrutiny". One might think the distinctions between strict scrutiny and rational relations were not always so clear as to invite an intermediate category to further muddy the waters, but ... Justice Black would certainly have had a fit, as he couldn't understand the theory of partial incorporation of the 14th -- either it incorporates all the Bill of Rights, or none.
I think Bradley's point is this. He has Nussbaum saying that the ancient Greeks were quite positive in their assessment of homosexual relations -- a blanket approval. He also has her saying that any view that it was "unnatural" derives from later Christian views of natural law. But Bradley contends that the positive view of homosexual relations was an upper-class phenomenon, and didn't extend to pleasure by the passive recipient -- there was no blanket approval. He also quotes Plato on the "unnatural" issue, contra Nussbaum.
Now I'm not expert in these areas. For me it is interesting from the point of view of the advocacy v. scholarship question. But that, in any case, is how I read (imperfectly, no doubt) the Bradley piece.
Ralph E. Luker - 2/26/2004
Tim's point about expert witness is especially germane. I've tried to get someone to investigate the testimony of historians in the tobacco litigation. It appears to be one place where at least one very prominent historian has compromised his credibility. Unfortunately, it was a credibility that was already pretty seriously otherwise compromised.
Timothy James Burke - 2/25/2004
Well, I do think I would advise any historian to be pretty careful about signing a legal brief because it strikes me that most historical scholarship is going to contain claims which may be orthagonal to legal reasoning, e.g., that you're going to have to stipulate to something that isn't quite true but isn't quite false, either. In fact, I'd say that a lot of expert witness in legal proceedings has that character. It's an interestingly specific test case of public involvement where we might be able to formulate some rules or guidelines that asserted a kind of "quality control" over the way one functions as an advocate.
Richard Henry Morgan - 2/25/2004
I don't understand all the issues, nor then can I endorse Bradley's view. I think the other issue (advocacy versus scholarship, and its relationship to assessment in the academy) has been underexamined, and underaddressed. Assuming ex hypothesi that Bradley is correct (on Mohr or Nussbaum) brings that issue into clear focus. And academia, as far as I can tell, hasn't worked out how to address that problem -- or even if it is a problem. I can't imagine signing a brief I didn't believe in, and I can't understand signing one that involves one's field of expertise and then claiming that it carried only my "citizen" imprimatur. I can't understand that any more than I can understand yahoos claiming that the institution of marriage is 5,000 years old. They're all of a piece, to my mind -- one is just a vice of the educated, the other the uneducated.
Timothy James Burke - 2/25/2004
I actually have some trouble following the legal reasoning in that article, but on the question of historical fact that seemed to be (oddly to me) at the core of the case, I sort of feel like everyone got it wrong, but also that the author of that article is misreading--deliberately or accidentally--the gap between what Nussbaum said in court and what Nussbaum, Dover and others say in their monographs. I don't see Nussbaum as misrepresenting her scholarly views--the problem is that the key issue in contention was being lost in the legal framing of the problem.
The point in contention, it seems to me, is the status of homosexual intercourse in 4th Century Athens. What Nussbaum is pointing out in her scholarship, and most translations of Athenian texts reocrd, is that homosexual intercourse per se was stigmatized among Athenian citizens. This is true. I think Gerald Bradley, the author of the piece in the link, is missing that this does not mean that homosexual relations were disapproved of or regarded as abnormal. Quite the contrary.
Male Athenian elites had a low opinion of being the passive recipient in sex acts in general: it was a role assigned to boys, slaves and women. Some also felt that anal sex was degrading even to the man who was the active partner. The usual sex act between an adult man and the teenager he was mentoring involved placing the penis between the legs of the younger man and rubbing until orgasm. The passive partner was not supposed to receive any sexual pleasure per se in this act. There was no reciprocity: Greek homosexuality was clearly very much an expression of the power of male citizens over the rest of society.
So Nussbaum is right in that trial to insist that homosexual relations were highly regarded by male Greek citizens, but equally right in her published work to observe that they had a low opinion of homosexual intercourse. "Unnatural" is a language that simply wouldn't have occurred to classical Greeks; certainly in The Symposium, there isn't a single figure who asserts that homosexual relations per se are a deviation from "natural law".
The only quote from Nussbaum's testimony that is a bit debatable in my mind is the notion that such relations were never considered shameful: Greek male citizens who were passive recipients of same-sex intercourse, for example, would definitely have been seen as shameful. Nor would I quite call these relations "romantic", in general, at least not as we tend to mean the word.
Bradley's overstating his case, but certainly there's an interesting tension between the scholarship and the advocacy here. It highlights a general problem in public-sphere arguments: some "translation" or simplification of scholarship is necessary for mere brevity, let alone comprehension. I'm not sure when it goes too far--it's a judgement call in each case.
The real problem in the case Bradley describes, as far as I'm concerned, is that neither Finnis NOR Nussbaum should be trying to derive a justification for homosexuality in the present from the classical Greeks: they were just plain different, and their views of sexuality don't map at all well onto our own, no matter what your views of homosexuality might be.

Well, we're talking about this somewhat in the context of Simon Schama's comments just a bit further down in Cliopatria and also at Crooked Timber and Invisible Adjunct. Beyond that, it's a general concern of mine.
I'd say, yeah, you should act outside the academy with many of the same standards that bind you inside of it. I think the fact of public work should count to your credit at hiring/promotion/tenure before we worry about assessing its quality--e.g., the commitment to be public should be a good thing. Work in the public sphere isn't subject to the same kinds of peer review, so it might be hard to assess it in the same way in terms of quality--and it might be dangerous, given the way many academics feel about popularizers, to even try to assess public work in that way. But there probably ought to be a way to argue that someone who has tried to expand their academic work into the public arena in a way that is actively unethical could be criticized for violating academic standards.

Tim, you might get a kick out of this. Then again, you might not. In any case, it brings up a pet peeve of mine: whether professors who engage in public debate on the great matters of the day outside the university, and invoke their expertise in doing so, are bound by the academy's aspirational commitment to truth, honesty, fair argument, etc., and whether their public work in such a situation should be a part of any basis for hiring, promotion and tenure, or be protected from such by an appeal to academic freedom. Your thoughts?

I was thinking of Dover (and scholarship that follows on him) as well, but I don't think homosexual mentoring had any kind of contractual basis, and so someone could fairly say that it wasn't related to marriage, whatever it was. Also, if we're going to be fair and say that the 5,000 years claim from FMA advocates is meant to be about common or general patterns in human history, you could note that perhaps classical Greece wasn't all that common in this respect.
I haven't seen a single person making the 5,000 year claim (or any of its rhetorical variants) provision even the least citation. Let's face it--even the BIBLE can't be cited authoritatively for that claim.

I couldn't agree more, with just one caveat, and one question. As I understand it, male-male relations in ancient Greece (and here I think I'm relying on K. J. Dover) had a limited cultural approval/tolerance as a mentoring relationship. I think the Theban forces had a companion relationship as an organizational pillar in there forces. There was some brouhaha over this question, I believe, maybe a decade or so back, involving a Colorado case. I think the details are available at the National Association of Scholars site.
My question is, do the defenders of "traditional" marriage ever cite a source for their 5,000 year claim?
