NEW YORK, NY-January 16, 2013 –Donald H. Schepers, Ph.D, Associate Dean of the Zicklin School of Business and Professor of Management at Baruch College has been named by Trust Across America as one of 2013's Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior. According to TAA, the people selected collectively represent a group that can genuinely transform the way organizations do business.
This year's recipients hail from around the globe and once again include leaders from the public and private sectors as well as authors, consultants, researchers and academics. Each recipient has made an extensive and positive contribution to building trust in business and many have already joined Trust Across America's Alliance of Trustworthy Business Experts (ATBE), a program that launched in the fourth quarter of 2012 and has already grown to over 150 global experts who are collaboratively joining forces to combat the world's trust crisis.
Schepers was recognized for his extensive work when he served as Director of the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity, which serves as a forum for discussion of a broad range of contemporary issues confronting U.S. corporations and capital markets including: transparency of corporate reporting, corporate governance, examining legal and ethical corporate behavior, spotlighting executive accountability, corporate responsibility in global business development, risk assessment and amelioration, resolving conflicting corporate stakeholder interests, and evaluating the role of governmental regulation. In fall 2012, Schepers was appointed Associate Dean of the Zicklin School of Business.
The release of this third annual list coincides with the formal launch of Trust Across America's Campaign for Trust™, a two-year collaborative initiative to reverse the cycle of mistrust in business. Trust Across America publicized and received hundreds of nominations from around the world. The list was narrowed through an extensive vetting and independent judging process.
"The honorees are inspiring organizations to look more closely at their higher purpose…to create greater value for, and trust from, all of their stakeholders," said Barbara Kimmel, Executive Director. "They understand that trust is an asset that can leverage real business gains. We congratulate all of these leaders whose work is shining a spotlight on the importance of trust and providing a roadmap for others to follow."

Rebuilding after a disaster takes more than just the efforts of those who are left behind. Since the tornado of April 27, 2011, tore a 5.9-mile path of devastation across the city of Tuscaloosa, visitors and volunteers have been arriving regularly to assist with the rebuilding and recovery efforts.
Building back from a disaster takes more than just the efforts of those who are left behind.
Since the tornado of April 27, 2011, tore a 5.9-mile path of devastation across the city of Tuscaloosa, visitors and volunteers have been arriving regularly to assist with the rebuilding and recovery efforts.
And now, as the third anniversary of the storm draws near, the kindness of strangers is still needed.
This week alone, 17 students from the University of Illinois, 12 students from the University of Missouri and 15 volunteers from the Habitat for Humanity of Frederick, Md., have been working to rebuild parts of Tuscaloosa.
On Thursday, the Maryland volunteers were building a home on what remains of Juanita Drive, which found itself directly in the path of the EF-4 twister.
"We should be done in the next couple of weeks," said Chuck Hawley, team leader of the Maryland Disaster Relief Team, "and it should be really nice for the young couple moving in."
This marks the Disaster Relief Team's sixth visit to Tuscaloosa and, since 2006, the volunteers from Maryland have made 17 such trips to help storm-torn areas across the country.
By April 10, these seasoned volunteers will be joined by volunteers from across the nation, said Ellen Potts, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa.
Volunteers from Florida State University and George Washington University in Washington D.C.; Montgomery College, also of Frederick, Md., and Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.; the University of Virginia, the University of South Carolina, Tynesboro (Mass.) High School, are all expected to be here to assist the local Habitat for Humanity office with storm recovery efforts.
In addition to college and high school students are the Tiger Team from the Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity in Indianapolis, Ind.; the RV Care-A-Vanners of Habitat for Humanity International, a group for volunteers from across the U.S. who travel from site-to-site in recreational vehicles; and the Cairos Carpenters, a group that Potts described as volunteers from the Midwest that also is making its sixth trip to Tuscaloosa.
Potts said that, since Habitat for Humanity of Tusacloosa's rebuilding efforts began in July 2011, the group has had about 12,000 volunteers contribute their time and energy to restoring lost homes and, of these, about two-thirds have been from outside.
By early April, Habitat will complete its 41st house since the tornado, Potts said.
There is no way we could have accomplished that without the generous donation of time and energy from our out-of-town volunteers," she said. "That being said, we have wonderful local volunteers who have played a key role in Habitat's part of the recovery effort.
"As our disaster sinks further into the past and the out-of-town volunteers taper off, we need more local volunteers to help us if we want to continue serving low income, working families in Tuscaloosa as we have in the past."
Funding for the volunteers' work in Alberta this week is coming from federal storm recovery dollars awarded to the city of Tuscaloosa and directed to Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa.
The housing agency has received a total of $1.5 million in two rounds of funding from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR) program.
Of this, $500,000 came from a $16.6 million CDBG-DR allocation in early 2012 and was part of an overall $55 million appropriation from HUD to the state for repairing and improving housing and infrastructure, economic development and emergency preparedness.
The remaining $1 million for Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa came a year later when Tuscaloosa was the recipient of another $43.9 million in CDBG-DR funding.
This appropriation was part of a $119.7 million package awarded to the state and three local governments by HUD.
The original $500,000 went toward the purchase of 28 lots on Juanita Drive for the purpose of storm recovery housing, while the remaining $1 million will be used to build 11-12 houses for Habitat for Humanity recipients.
Potts said contracts were awarded to lay 11 housing foundations and install plumbing and wiring for 11 homes, but lumber and material costs ultimately will determine how many homes can be built from that $1 million award.
Now, one home is nearing completion, two more on Juanita Drive are being built and construction is nearing for two more, Potts said.
"We hope to build Juanita Drive back," Potts said, "and we hope that these Habitat homeowners will partner with us to really revitalize the area and make it much healthier than it was before the storm."

Tools of post-treatment from aeroacoustic data with RIFIFI software
By Yves Corvez and Alexandre de Rosso, PSA Peugeot Citroën
RIFIFI software developed with Scilab is used in PSA researches in aeroacoustics for reducing noise generated by air penetration in the car. These noises can come from wheezing joints, mirrors, car-body, or some drains.
RIFIFI is specifically used in the study and analysis of pressure measurements near the sides (fluctuating pressure on windows vibrations which are generated by the vortices behind the mirrors). These pressures act like a speaker cone and are measured through pressure sensors in close sides.
The data generated by those tests are then post-processed to achieve RIFIFI mapping pressures.

We assembled a panel of 17, combining people with journalistic experience, automotive passion, and feel for style, in order to determine a highly unscientific list of the least attractive vehicles for sale in Canada.
The rules? Simple. The vehicles had to be 1) 2014 models, 2) for sale in Canada, and 3) intended for passenger use versus commercial delivery.
Each panelist submitted 10 vehicles deemed to be the loveable uglies, and those votes were counted on a 10, 9, 8 basis.
Some say all automobiles are beautiful in their own ways these days. Indeed, beauty proved to be in the eye of the beholder. The No. 1 vehicle on our composite list scored highly with some voters while not making other lists whatsoever. A few vehicles rated most ugly by individual voters did not score enough votes overall to make the composite.
This gallery contains our final list. For a list of the voters, click here. To log your comment on this list, click here.

Hamelman's Pain au Levain
Maybe this should be called Hamelman's Pain au Levain, mostly, because there were a couple of small excursions from the formula presented in Hamelman's Bread, 2nd Edition.
Having enjoyed several days' worth of the Rustic Pumpernickel from Inside the Jewish Bakery, I was ready for a change of pace. My starter was in need of a good feeding, so I have it a healthy dose of rye flour and water and left it to its own devices overnight. The next morning, it was ripe and ready for action. Gotta love these warm summertime temperatures. At this point, I had no real plan, just a vague notion of something not-pumpernickel. Remembering that I hadn't baked from Hamelman's book for a while, I started leafing leafing through it and came across the Pain au Levain bread. Just the ticket, since it has a small portion of rye flour in it.
Since I had fed my starter with rye flour, I calculated that I would have a bit more rye than the formula called for even if I didn't add any in the final dough. No problem. It would still be good. And, the bread flour that I used was the Great River Milling Unbleached Wheat Bread Flour which still contains 20% of the bran. Again, no problem; just more flavor. The other thing about the GRM flour is its protein content: 14%. That's much higher than any French-style flour's protein content. I mixed the levain, covered it, and left it to ferment at room temperature. It was ready for use about 3:30 in the afternoon.
Hamelman assumes a room temperature bulk fermentation and final fermentation. As I looked at the clock, and at the instructions, I decided that I really didn't want to stay up late. That led to the other deviation: a decision to retard the dough during its bulk ferment. The rest of the process was pretty much by the book. The flour and water were mixed by hand and allowed 60 minutes to autolyse. Then the levain was mixed in. That was a bit trickier, because the dough was stiffer than the levain, but the dough came together after the initial goopy phase and got even better after the salt was added. The texture was still fairly firm, so I worked in another 3-4% of water. The absorptive capability of the flour meant that I still didn't have a soft dough but it felt quite moist and tacky so I called it good enough. That turned out to be a good decision.
I allowed the dough an hour of bulk fermentation at room temperature, then put it into the refrigerator until the following afternoon, almost 20 hours later. The dough hadn't doubled in volume, so I gave it an hour or so to warm up somewhat, then shaped it into two batards. Each was allowed to proof on a piece of parchment paper, covered with plastic. The dough was firm enough that I did not provide side support for it. Indeed, most of the doubling was in the upward direction, not the horizontal direction, which is pretty unusual for a sourdough. When it had grown by perhaps 80%, I preheated the oven with a stone and a steam pan. After the oven reached temperature, I boiled water and poured it into the steam pan. The loaves were then slashed and placed on the stone to bake as directed.
During the bake, the loaves continued to expand upwards, but more sideways than they had during the final fermentation. The scores opened nicely and gave a good ear.
The crumb is less open than might be expected for this style of bread and this level of hydration. I think that the amount of kneading that was required to incorporate the levain had an effect, as did the high protein content of the bread flour. I'm not at all unhappy, since the primary use for the bread is in sandwiches. That means I don't have mayonnaise or mustard dripping into my lap while eating.
The crumb is very moist, probably attributable in part to the rye flour's moisture-grabbing traits, plus the additional water that I added to offset the dough's stiffness. More would have been too much, so I am glad that I stopped when I did with the extra water. The color is a bit darker because of the additional bran content not usually seen in a bread flour. The crust, which was initially quite hard, has softened considerably as the moisture within the loaf has redistributed. The flavor is excellent, combining wheat and rye notes with a gentle sourdough tang and the toasty/nutty/caramel notes from the crust. My hat is off to Mr. Hamelman for devising such an enjoyable bread.

Pledge Drive
Will the Republicans' "Pledge to America" help then win over independents?
Play Slate's Lean/Lock and test your skills as a political pundit.
Republican leaders unveiling their agenda in a lumber warehouse were like their surroundings: white and wooden. In a series of stiff speeches, the House members attacked Obama's programs and promised to shrink the government by cutting spending and taxes. Unlike the unveiling of the Contract with America in 1994, when some 180 raucous GOP candidates gathered on the steps of the Capitol, the press conference just outside Washington was a low-key affair. Twelve party officials stood in a semi-circle between stacks of maple, birch, and gypsum. They spoke on behalf of the people but to an audience made up almost entirely of reporters.
The visuals fit the message: modest, sober, and focused on the economy. The Republicans admitted that while they strove to limit spending, they were not offering anything as bold as a plan to balance the budget. They weren't promising "Morning in America," but merely steps that would get the country "back on track."
The biggest goal of the plan is political: to send a message that lawmakers are not ignoring voters. It contained garden-variety Republican talking points, but leaders pitched it as the outcome of a 20-month process of "listening" to voters. That was its most important political message in a year where each party has accused the other of not listening to voters. "We get it. We get it," said Minority Leader John Boehner, whose Republican counterpart in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, was sending the identical message.
The other important message was economic. GOP strategists have for months been arguing that Republicans need to present independent, center-right voters a set of ideas related to jobs. Under the "Pledge," small businesses will be allowed to deduct 20 percent of their annual income. The Bush tax cuts will be allowed to continue for all income brackets, which Republicans say will remove uncertainty that is crippling business. All regulations that affect more than $100 million or more in economic activity will require congressional approval.
Republicans bet that the constituency at issue here (center-right leaning independents) will be on their side in a debate about whether these policies can spur economic activity. A recent Pew poll shows they are already leaning heavily toward the GOP.
Democrats saw their own advantage in the plan. They argue the tax cuts will explode the deficit. Undoing the Obama health care plan will increase the number of uninsured and changing the rules for regulations will put lobbyists back in charge (because they can influence members of Congress voting on regulation). Democrats have been asking voters to look at the election as a choice between two visions for governing and not a referendum on Obama. Now there are specific policies that can be compared. "Now it's all on paper," said a White House aide. "They have to answer for it."
The pledge looks like a corporate report for a Midwestern conglomerate. Pictures of tree-lined streets, the Statue of Liberty, and a cowboy with a lasso are interspersed between policy promises that also cover national defense and health care reform. Big issues like education and energy policy—ones you've probably heard about—are barely addressed or go unmentioned.
While the leaders promised to restore "fiscal sanity," the $100 billion in annual cuts they propose are unspecific and tackle only a small portion of the $1.4 trillion deficit. There is no balanced-budget amendment, which disappointed some conservatives. Plus, the document says very little about how they would reform or curb entitlements to start addressing deficit growth in the future. A longtime budget policy hawk who works with Republicans labeled the plan "underwhelming." Republicans believe entitlement reform is where the big savings can be found, but to get specific is to open candidates up to attack. Boehner said he wanted to have an "adult conversation" about entitlements but not until after the election. The actual adult thing to do would be for both sides to offer their plans before the election and let the voters decide.
GOP leaders also included a host of congressional reforms in the pledge. All future bills will be posted online three days before a vote, and all legislation must cite the constitutional authority behind it. The latter provision was lauded by Tea Party groups. The pledge's repeated references to the Constitution also seemed aimed at that group.
What undermined the calls for transparency and an end to the charades in Congress were the charades the Republican leaders engaged in during the presentation. For example, they called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to enact this agenda now before Congress goes home in early October. They know this is impossible. It's rhetorical and unserious, but it's also dangerous. It suggests these kinds of reforms can be enacted overnight. As Boehner knows better than anyone, legislating takes time, particularly if you want lawmakers to actually read the bill. Making it seem like changes can happen with a snap may help undermine Nancy Pelosi with his voters now, but if John Boehner takes over her job, he'll face expectations he'll never be able to meet.

Taschen's bookstores in Cologne, Paris, Beverly Hills, and now New York are as lavish and quirky as the volumes they sell.
Art books for pockets deep and small
By Stephanie Murg
If bookstores were people, Barnes & Noble would wear sensible shoes, The Strand a tweed jacket rundown at the elbows, and Taschen well, Taschen would rock a Victor & Rolf runway sample and smell slightly of sin. See for yourself when you walk into the publisher's New York store, its second in the United States, which opened last week at 107 Greene Street in Soho.
"Publishers of art, anthropology, and aphrodesia since 1980," is how Taschen describes itself. The company was founded when Benedikt Taschen, then 18 years old, opened a comic book shop in Cologne, Germany. After a few years of publishing comics that featured such characters as Sally Forth, a scantily-clad blonde space explorer, and a detective named Ray Banana, the floundering company was saved by Rene Magritte when Taschen purchased and sold 40,000 remaindered books about the Surrealist painter.
Magritte would surely approve of the company's progress since then, which has included publishing everything from "Martin Luther's 1534 Bible" (a best-seller) and a primer on Moroccan Interiors to the "Dinnerparty à la Perestroika Russian Cookbook" and "The Big Book of Breasts." One year, they made a profitable side business of selling inflatable gorillas.
Taschen's bookstores in Cologne, Paris, Beverly Hills, and now New York are as lavish and quirky as the volumes they sell. Most of the stores are designed by Philippe Starck, a master of undulating lines and refined kitsch, who brought a distinct aesthetic to the Soho store. "In Paris and L.A., everything is constructed out of a deep, rich wood and the shelves are literally built into the walls themselves," says Matthew Ricke, the manager of Taschen's newest outpost. "In Soho, much of the exposed concrete from the original construction was left intact or incorporated into the design." The store's bookcases rise from the concrete floor and seem to float off the walls, which are covered in brightly colored murals by Brazilian painter Beatriz Milhazes. "I think the combination of those bright colors against the relative quietness of Starck's design will be both arresting and unlike any other space in the city," Ricke adds.
Formerly manager of the bookstore at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Ricke is new to Taschen but a longtime fan of its wares. "The first Taschen book I bought that really challenged me as someone who believed he knew a lot about art books, was 'Exquisite Mayhem,' " says Ricke, of the 2001 release that features the work of Theo Ehret, who photographed the early days of professional wrestling in 1960s L.A. as well as women "apartment wrestling" in the 1970s. "I've given this book as a gift so many times and it never fails to fascinate."
Although "taschen" is German for "pocket," most of the company's books are not sized for portability. In fact, Taschen is well-known for its luxuriously oversized volumes, the kind that require two people to turn the pages. "Sumo," a 1999 tribute to the work of photographer Helmut Newton, weighed in at 66 pounds and measured two-and-a-half feet tall by one-and-a-half feet wide. It came with its own table. ("In defiance of the much-loved Japanese discipline that inspired the title of this colossal work, there is no need for its proud owner to wrestle with 'Sumo,' " wrote the publisher.)
"Sumo" probably would not fit in the apartments nor, at $6,500 each, the budgets of most New Yorkers, but Taschen has something for almost everyone. "Our publications range from colorful, ten-dollar books on Michelangelo or Warhol, to immense and very limited collector's editions, like our book of the work of [photographer, collector, diarist, and writer] Peter Beard," says Ricke. "The bottom line, however, is that Taschen has always made beautiful art books affordable and accessible to everyone. Philippe Starck once said that Taschen invented democratic publishing, and I think that's a good way to put it."

Sandy • Khari Stephenson was causing problems.
It was April of last year and the San Jose Earthquake midfielder had already launched a 40-yard free kick just over the crossbar and later scored on a header that snuck past Real Salt Lake goalie Nick Rimando.
After RSL tried to claw back to earn a point, Stephenson found forward Chris Wondolowski for a goal that put the game out of reach.
It was the first of a three-game sweep for San Jose, a stretch that saw RSL pick up three red cards while being outscored 9-3.
So as Salt Lake prepares to open its 2013 campaign against last season's winners of the Supporters' Shield, RSL is hoping things will be different. At the very least, they won't have Stephenson to worry about this time.
The 32-year-old Jamaican will be wearing claret and cobalt.
"They've always been a good team, won championships," he said of his new squad. "They're always trying to win a championship every year."
The 6-foot-2 Stephenson made 27 appearances for San Jose last year, scoring two goals and notching three assists (two of which came against RSL). San Jose did not pick up Stephenson's option at the end of last year, and he was not selected in the MLS Re-Entry process.
He joined RSL during preseason training in January and made an early impact. The midfielder scored a game-winner in a preseason matchup with New England earlier this month in Tucson, Ariz.
"We were surprised we could get him," captain Kyle Beckerman said.
Stephenson, who has 28 caps and six goals for the Jamaican national team over his career, is a two-way midfielder who is able to join in on the attack and get back quickly on defense. He has good feet and can keep possession and pass. His shot from distance, as RSL can attest, is another strong suit.
He also says he has quickly picked up RSL's possession-heavy system.
"The philosophy is just a bit different than what you've been taught before," he said. "Once you understand what they're saying ... that was the only challenge for me. It just seemed different at the time. Why would I do this when I've always done that? But it was explained to me, I understand it, I do it."
Stephenson has seen time at different positions in Salt Lake's midfield this preseason and could see time on the field in the season-opener Sunday. San Jose went 19-6-9 last year, en route to a league-best 66 points.
"Last year was their year," Beckerman said. "They got results all season long, and they were scoring at an unbelievable rate."
The captain added: "We remember those losses we had against them. We hope to do one better this year and be where they were last year."
Stephenson, however, was coy when asked if he had given his new team the secrets to beating his old one.
"We'll keep those behind closed doors," he said.
Briefly • RSL goalie Nick Rimando offered congratulations to San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski whose 27 goals earned him MVP honors on a new deal with Major League Soccer that gives him a substantial raise and makes him one of the league's designated players. But Rimando's well wishes only extended so far. "I love it. I think it's great," Rimando said of the deal. "For him to prove he's a great player and for the league to step up and for San Jose to step up, I think it's great for the league. It's great for him. He's put his work in. I just hope he doesn't do anything on Sunday." … Sunday's opener should be the last regular-season match RSL will play at Buck Shaw Stadium. The home of Santa Clara University, Buck Shaw has also housed the Earthquakes. But San Jose has broken ground on an 18,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium that is expected to open for the 2014 season.

From Hare to Heir Commentary
Uploaded by MatthewHunter
But what I have in store to show you next...ohhhhh BROTHER!
Gee, I thought the next cartoon, "Lighter than Hare", was pretty good, despite Sam being off-model.
1960? that's the same year as Jerry Lewis's movie Cinderfella, in which a similar "opposite ends of the long table" gag is used. I wouldn't suggest that one copied the other, as hare to heir was 9/3/60, and cinderfella came out in december, but it does seem to suggest that gag men tend to think alike, much like the "coincidence" about the bugs bunny and tom & jerry cartoons that were both based on the same song, the same year, and both were noms for the oscar...
This is one of my all-time favorite Bugs/Sam cartoons. The timing on the dialog and gags is great, and it's a nice twist on the formula that Sam actually has to control his temper to succeed (to which he fails miserably at). I love the mansion backdrops, too.

The general background of the persecution of the Jews in Arab countries is intertwined with the creation of the state of Israel and Israel's war of Independence in 1948-9. Until the 20th century, Jews in Arab countries were usually treated as inferiors, in accordance with Laws of the Khalif Omar from the 7th century. The encroachment of Western powers to the Middle East brought with it an improvement in the status of the Jews. The resulting growing conflict between Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine from the 1920's onwards soon began to influence the condition of Jews in Arab countries. In July 1941, just after the British defeated the Nazi-influenced Iraqi government, an Arab mob (with many soldiers and policemen in its ranks) committed the "Farhud" – a pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad. Almost 200 Jews were murdered in this atrocity.
Israel's War of Independence worsened the conditions of Jewish communities in the Arab world, and Iraq was no exception. Iraq sent an expeditionary force to invade Israel on May 15, 1948, and an Iraqi general commanded the "Arab Liberation Army" (an Arab volunteer force, organized by the Arab League to prevent the creation of Israel). The Iraqi government started to implement discriminatory measures against Jews in accordance with a law drafted by the political department of the Arab League. Jewish civil servants were fired (Jews had served in senior government posts in Iraq; the first Minister of Finance of independent Iraq was Jewish), doctors could not receive their licenses, Jewish banks were not allowed to change foreign currency, and new and heavier taxes were imposed on the Jews. Jews were not allowed to leave Iraq for more than a year and those that left had their property confiscated and their citizenship nullified. In September 1948, a rich Jewish businessman, Shafiq Ades, was hanged under false accusations. The persecutions caused many Jews to secretly cross the border to Iran and from there escape to Israel. In December 1949, Tawfiq al-Suwaidi replaced Nuri el Said as Prime Minister, and conditions became easier for the Jews. After a secret negotiation with El-Suwaidi, Jews were allowed to leave Iraq without hindrance, and 120,000 of the Jews in Iraq chose to come on Aliyah to Israel in Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.
The restrictions on those Jews who did not leave Iraq remained, and they could not leave the country to go to Israel, but could depart for other countries. The restrictions persisted until the military coup in 1958. During the rule of General Abd al-Karim Qasim (1958-1963) most of them were lifted, and Jews were treated better and some of their confiscated property was returned. Things changed for the worse after the military coup of 1963 and subsequent coups until the 1968 coup of the Baath party. All restrictions were reinstated and more were added – Jews were required to carry yellow identification cards, banned from leaving Iraq altogether, and subject to many more harsh laws.
The Six Day War made things even worse for the remaining Jews in Iraq. Iraq always described itself as a vanguard of Arab nationalism and declared continually its desire to destroy Israel. During the war, the Israeli air force attacked the H3 air base in western Iraq and the Iraqi expeditionary force sent to Jordan did not arrive in time to play a role in the war. One unit that did come close to the Jordan River was badly mauled by the Israeli air force and retreated. The Iraqis vented their frustration from the results of the war on the Jews of Iraq: Their telephones were disconnected, Jews were fired from their jobs, shops under Jewish ownership were closed, and Jews were barred from traveling from one city to another. Leaving Iraq, banned already before the war, was now impossible. The small Jewish community lived in constant fear.
The Iraqi expeditionary force remained in Jordan and participated in the "War of Attrition" (1968-70) by bombarding Israeli Kibbutzim and villages in the Jordan valley and helping Palestinian terrorists attack Israel. In retaliation, the Iraqi expeditionary force was attacked by the Israeli air force on December 1968 for 4 consecutive days, which inflicted heavy casualties. The bodies of the dead soldiers were brought to Baghdad in a mass funeral. The popular call for revenge was exploited by the newly formed Baath regime (The Baath party overthrew the government in July 17 1968), and it put a group of Jews, arrested on bogus counts of espionage in October, on trial before a military kangaroo court. The military court found them guilty of espionage for Israel and sentenced them to death. On January 27, 1969, 14 defendants (9 of them Jews) were executed in Baghdad and in Basra. The Baath regime called on the public to celebrate the execution, and half a million people celebrated under the hanging bodies in Baghdad's central square.
After the arrest of the Jews in Iraq, their relatives turned to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help in receiving information on their fate and to try and organize their release. Israel turned to different states and international organizations in order to save the detainees, while emphasizing the fact that they were innocent and that it was clear that the Jews could not be spies due to the isolation and segregation of Jews from the other parts of Iraqi society. Appeals were made to the Secretary General of the UN, U-Thant, The Red Cross and to different governments, friendly to Iraq, such as Turkey. These appeals did not help.
The public hangings came as a painful shock in Israel and its Iraqi citizens (Babylonian Jews as they are traditionally known). Prayer and memorial services were organized, such as the one in this newsreel, showing the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (then the chief rabbi of Tel Aviv) speaking from a podium. Rabbi Yosef was himself of Iraqi descent. A special mourning session was held in the Knesset, and Prime Minister Levi Eshkol in one of his last public appearances--Eshkol passed away on 26 February 1969--said in his speech: "The hangings have illuminated the fate of the remnants of the Babylonian Jewry with nightmarish light. The land of Iraq has become one great prison for its Jewish remnants. Our brethren are prey to terror in the hands of villains….If there is a conscience in this world, let it voice awaken to immediate need to rescue the remnants of the Jewish communities in Arab countries".

As mentioned, appeals were made to the UN and International organizations. Appeals were made to governments and rulers by Jewish communities and organizations – Indian Jews met the Indian Foreign minister, for instance, which proved fruitless due to India's pro-Arab stance. A similar appeal was made to the Shah of Iran. Another approach was demonstrations and other forms of public protest. These actions prompted different governments to agree to accept Jews from Iraq. Another country that lent a hand to save the Jews of Iraq, although it was not approached to do so, was France. Relations between Israel and France were strained, ever since France imposed an embargo on exporting weapons to Israel just weeks before (not to mention the French attitude towards Israel before, during and after the Six Day War), after Israel raided the Beirut National Airport in retaliation of an attack for an El Al airliner in Athens in December 1968. The French government pressured the Iraqi government to release Jewish detainees and allow Jews to leave Iraq. At a government meeting in early February 1969, Foreign Minister Abba Eban estimated that the French action was meant to stop the wave of protests and anti-French denunciations in the USA, initiated by Jewish organizations.
According to different sources, such as Israeli journalist and researcher Shlomo Nakdimon, Israel used the Mossad's covert operation in Iraqi Kurdistan (which was helping the forces of Mullah Mustapha Barazani fight the Iraqi army) to smuggle Jews from Iraq to Iran and from there to Israel.
The persecution of the Jewish community in Iraq came again to public attention last year. After the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, American troops found in the flooded basement of the building of the Iraqi secret police a large collection of Jewish Torah scrolls and holy books, as well as the Jewish communal archive, confiscated by the Iraqi government. The books were transferred to the U.S. for restoration. Now the Iraqi government demands the return of the collection to Iraq, arguing that it is an Iraqi cultural property. At the same time, Jews from Iraq living in the U.S. demand that the collection remain, as Iraq has no right to demand the collection, given that it was stolen from the Jewish community.

Heard any owls lately? Maybe you've seen one of these elusive raptors perched on its nest.
If so, please tell Jean Woods.
Woods is the curator of birds for the Delaware Museum of Natural History, one of the organizations supporting the Delaware Breeding Bird Atlas. The atlas is a five-year, state-led project to determine the area bird population and assess any changes since the last atlas, which was held 20-plus years ago.
Data gathering for the atlas was supposed to end in 2012 but there was a bit of a problem, says Woods, who sits on the project's technical committee. Well, make that a big problem, at least when it comes to owls.
"We discovered that we didn't have enough data on the nocturnal birds, especially owls," she says. "We extended the atlas into 2013 to try to get some additional information."
Woods is eager to hear from birders or, anyone, frankly, who has heard or seen an owl recently. It can be hard to distinguish the sounds – or sight – of many of the state's shore and marsh birds. But it's pretty easy to identify the calls of Delaware's owls. Their hoots are distinct, and there are only a handful of species in the state.
This is a great time to listen for owls. The end of January marks the start of the breeding season so there's lots of hooting out there. Owls call for a variety of reasons, including defending territory, communicating with their young, or, as is the case now, to advertise their availability as a mate.
"I can tell that the great horned owls are getting ready to nest," says Jim White, associate director of land and biodiversity management for the Delaware Nature Society. "I've been hearing great horneds when I take the dog out for a walk."
Delaware has four species of owls that are year-round residents – the great horned, barred, barn and Eastern screech, according to Chris Williams, a University of Delaware associate professor of wildlife ecology in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The great horned owls are the first nesters; they'll soon be followed by the barred owl and barn, and finally, the Eastern screech owls.
Three more species of owls – short-eared, long-eared and Northern saw-whet – are regular winter migrants to Delaware. A fourth species, the snowy owl, appears sometimes in what is known as an irruption, says Williams.
2013 isn't shaping up to be an irruption year for snowy owls. But, on the plus side, there are a good number of Northern saw-whets here this winter, says Woods.
Four Delaware owls are considered to be "species of special concern" – the barn, barred, short-eared and long-eared, according to Wayne Lehman, a regional wildlife manager with the Division of Fish and Wildlife. Lehman bands juvenile barn owls every year, from May to July. Banding is easiest then because the fledglings are still on the nest and unable to fly.
The state has been banding barn owls since 1996. It also has established nesting boxes for owls in state wildlife areas.
"Banding provides valuable information on an owl's life span, home range, nest site fidelity and migratory patterns," says Lehman.
If you want to go on an owl prowl, set out after dark, especially on windless nights, says White. However, a few species aren't strictly nocturnal. The Eastern screech – a short, pudgy owl with a large head and almost no neck – often exhibits a burst of activity just before dawn and at dusk.
To increase the chance of success, head to Port Mahon Road in Little Creek Wildlife Area, east of Dover. This is known as the No. 1 spot in the state to see owls — the short-eared owl likes to hang out here. And you won't need to wait until dark – the short-eared starts hunting in late afternoon, when the sun is setting. This species is a migrant, so get to Port Mahon Road soon. By March, the short-eared will be returning to Newfoundland and other northern locales to begin breeding season.
How to help
If you see or hear an owl in Delaware let Jean Woods know so she can add this data to Delaware's Breeding Bird Atlas. Contact her at 658-9111, ext. 314 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Not sure which species you're hearing? Check out owl calls on All About Birds.

On Friday I had a total of $1,750 available in my account. On Saturday I used $1,570. That leave $180 left over. On Sunday I deposited through their ATM CASH (Key Word Here) for $1,100. On Sunday night I checked my account online and it showed a $1,000 ATM Withdraw! On Monday I had $880 on online payments going out.
Monday morning I stopped by the bank to see what the $1,000 ATM withdraw was all about. The representative looked up my account and did not see this transaction. I showed him a copy of the online statement and he said that you can not withdraw $1,000 from an ATM at one time. I told him I could not use my ATM since it rejected a withdraw and said I had a negative balance. Again he went through all the transactions and could not find it. He stated my account was fine and that I had money available and to fill out a withdrawal slip and he would get me the money, which I did.
On Tuesday my account had been billed 9 Unavailable Funds Fees and 4 Overdraft fees. Again I stopped at the bank and another representative looked up my account. He could not explain why these fees were posted and stated he would talk to the division supervisor and would call me back with an answer. He later called back and said the supervisor would not remove the fees because the $1,000 was on hold (like a check). I sent an email to customer service and this is what they sent back to me...
"Thank you for your recent email. Funds from cash deposits made at ATMs that we own or operate ("Sovereign Bank ATMs") prior to the cutoff time of 3 p.m, will be available on the next business day after the day of deposit for withdrawal. However, the cash deposit is available to pay debts on the account on the business day we receive the deposit."
What they had done is withdrew the entire $1,000 and held it until Tuesday and manually redeposited it into the account. So, I guess the statement "However, the cash deposit is available to pay debts on the account on the business day we receive the deposit." only applies when they want it to. Either that or their great banking system software is flawed and can not distinguish between cash withdraws and paying bills so they just took it all out!
Hmmm, makes you wonder how many other people they have done this to. Thank "Higher Power" that I made copies of all this now you see it now you don't transactions. Needless to say, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Banking Commission. I will not let this matter rest!
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- This happened some years back. OMG. It was horrible. First the clerk yelps at me about not having a credit card. Then I get helped by a DIFFERENT bank clerk, who opens a checking account for me. I tell her I want to deposit money, the clerk tells me to deposit it at the ATM. Of course no one helped me with the deposit, I even asked customers behind me to help me and this is New England man they don't even look at me (a bunch of foreigners).
OK, so obviously I wasn't used to depositing money through the ATM. There were no envelopes at the machine and I deposited all my money in to the machine. I went in to the clerk and explained what I did, because I wasn't really sure if I had done it right. And RIGHT! I did it wrong! They leaped to the machine and picked up my money. Thank God! Then I noticed that I lost $200 on that machine and of course when I asked for it, they claimed it wasn't their problem.
A month or so after I go back to the bank for something and give the clerk my information. They had the wrong social security number!!! How the hell is that possible, y'know? When they tried my social security number, it showed I was on Checksystems. Which Checksystems denied and I had proof. The female clerk started screaming and yelping and she was acting as if I was physically attacking her when in fact I was waiting for input about my checking account. She literally screamed throughout the bank for SECURITY!!! AAAHHH!!! And I was promptly escorted out of the bank.
Facts are facts, that's it. I lost $ 200 and I was completely treated in a racist manner by people who should not be speaking English if you ask me. This was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. If I had known about Better Business Bureau and the like, I would have yelped racism from here to Tokyo. There you have it. I hate Philadelphia, I was out big time.
MASSACHUSETTS -- I opened an account with Sovereign a couple of years ago, the first issue I had with them is I had an automatic payment come out before it was supposed to and it put me into overdraft by 3 or 4 dollars. They charged me $25 overdraft fee, OK my fault no big deal I expect that to happen, what I didn't expect was that they continued to charge me $5 a day for the next two weeks until my next deposit went in. So my $3 over draft cost me around $75.
The latest thing is I had an issue with a person I do work for and there was a dispute over how much they had paid me, I use electronic banking for everything so I went online and found sovereign only goes back a few weeks. So I saw a place to request your history, the site in their defense did say the cost was $6 per statement, I mistakenly assumed that meant if I requested my checking deposits for the year and my savings deposits for the year that it would cost $12. It never in a million years occurred to me that they would charge me $144 to print my account records. One would think that would be a fairly simple request.
I'm done with them. Every time I turn around they are hitting me with another charge. To top things off I emailed customer support about the outrageous charges and they sent me back a form email explaining to me that I could get my bank statements by paying $6 and they would be happy to help me request them if I called. I'm closing my accounts and I'm making it my mission to post anywhere and everywhere I can to warn others about this bank.
I have a business checking account with this bank. For over a year four particular bank tellers have harassed me every single time I walk into this one branch here in town. They either try to sell me a line of credit or a personal checking account. During any given incident I will say no continuously but they continue talking. Each and every time I walk in the same people give me the same offers. I have repeatedly asked them to stop but the offers just keep coming. I do not notice them doing this to customers in line in front of me and I have not experienced excessive offers beyond what's typical from banks I've used in the past.
Bank tellers earn commissions from upselling and are often held to sales quotas, usually on a quarterly basis. As a business owner myself I understand this completely. Even I try to upsell to my customers but I would never harass them or engage in the practice of predatory sales techniques.
One teller was pitching me a personal checking account and another teller actually interrupted and told me she was offended because she had tried to make the same offer first. There was also a time when I flat out ignored an offer for a line of credit and looked away from the teller. I was met with a rude "Hello?" comment. This came after I have told this one individual to stop making offers countless times.
If you have a complaint about Sovereign bank, you should do the following as I have done: Send a letter to: Sovereign Bank ATTN: Executive Complaints 1130 Berkshire Boulevard Wyomissing, PA 19610. Then, go to http://www.bbb.org and use the pulldown menu that says "I am..." to select "Consumer." Then click the link that says "File a Complaint." After that do some Googling or make a phone call to find out the website for your state's department of banking. File a complaint with them as well.
If you feel you have incurred enough monetary damages to constitute a lawsuit (related to their excessive overdraft fees which is not my case but I have read complaints about that), contact a lawyer to see if you have a legitimate case for litigation.
I have been attempting to transfer money between accounts in Sovereign for an hour and *just* found out that they are doing system-wide maintenance. The bank did not deem it worthy to give any sort of notification about a maintenance that will take down their entire system, and their telephone banking actually says that the maintenance will not be starting for another 8 hours.
On top of it, I was on the phone with their customer "service" for over 30 minutes before they would let me speak with a manager about this. The CS person I spoke with even threatened to hang up on me when I asked to speak with the manager right away. Seriously? I promise I will be shopping for a new bank *very* soon.
NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS -- I opened a small business account at Sovereign Bank in 2009. The bank representative assured me that there will be no fees or charges on my account. I deposited $240 and waited for my debit card to deposit more. After two weeks of not receiving the card, I contacted Sovereign Bank to send me a new card. I haven't received the new card since, and couldn't deposit my checks through ATM.
Recently, I received a letter from Sovereign Bank that they charged $160 inactivity fee from my account. I visited the bank and explained the situation and told them they don't have a right to charge me without notice. The manager told me that I have agreed and signed to pay the inactive fees, however, I look into the issue more and found out that this new regulation of $16/month inactivity fee started in October 2010. Therefore, I definitely haven't signed such an agreement and they definitely haven't send me any notice. They unfairly, unethically and even without a notice, charged me $160 from my account.
HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND -- I have banked with Sovereign for 10 years and am now at the end of my rope. Thursday I checked my balance and saw I was in the negative from my mortgage withdraw. I had no other money to take care of this. I was able to do some work for a friend and sell my hunting rifle at the pawn shop to get the $285. This would bring me out of the negative with some to spare. Deposited cash at 6:30 pm which is supposed to be in my account immediately. My receipt said +$17.55.
Well I got up this morning and am $480 in the negative. Called customer service and was told that I deposited the money too late and there is nothing they will do. I will be closing my account as soon as it is out of the negative. Sovereign Bank is run by professional bandits, they will charge you any chance they get. If you like your money you will take your business elsewhere.
I'm a Sovereign customer for 2 years. I had everything well in my account for 2 years. Until one day I had a fee problem. They charge me $35 dollars for each payment I did I that day. So, the total was $280. I didn't knew that I had insufficient money, and only in that day they rob me almost $300 and the payments I did were $100. I tried to fix with my branch manager and nothing. Call the customer service, that is horrible. She just looked to my account and said that everything was legal and they couldn't help me.
Then I talked to the customer service manager who told me nothing could be done. And I told her, I was going to close my account and all my family because it wasn't anymore a money issue, it was about a "robot" bank that forgot that they have people behind that accounts. My money market had money and I had a clean record. So, if that don't mean nothing I don't want a bank like that. Don't open an account. They are thieves and people that only see money. They don't care about their customer.
This company is out to make as much money of you as they can. I had a direct deposit pending and a check that I wrote. They appeared the same day in my account. Well I check the next day and I was charged a $35 overdraft fee because the check cleared before the direct deposit even though they appeared online at the same day. I call to talk to them about this issue and the woman had the nerve to ask me "Didn't you check your account before you wrote the check, and know that you didn't have enough?" I at that point was sick of their crap. I am switching banks. Sovereign is CRAP!
We have been with Sovereign since 2005, and it has been uneventful either positively or negatively. I have never personally or professionally written a bad check (still haven't), but my wife went to the branch ATM just before payday and withdrew $80. We did not have the money in the account, and Sovereign gave it to her, and made sure we had even less by tacking a $35 charge on. The same day, my wife spent $8.03 at Nick's Pizza and got the same $35 charge; $43 pizza must have been delicious.
I completely acknowledge that I am responsible for keeping a running balance on my account, but I am looking for a banking partner, not someone to frag me in the back when I do not pay attention. I do not know if I can stay a customer at Sovereign. I hope their customer conversion costs are less than the $70 they made from this fiasco because I think it is time for a new bank.
Next time, if it ever comes to that, my wife can go hungry for the afternoon. It is not the amount, but the principle. Does anyone now actually wonder how there was a banking crisis? Banks need to learn to say NO, even if it will short them hefty fees.

LEOPOLD—Southridge pounded 27 hits, including 10 for extra bases, to beat Perry Central 24-5 in baseball Wednesday.
"They hit the ball and we've got some work to do on pitching and defense (five errors)," said Perry Central Coach Phil Zellers. "Our outfield struggled pretty bad."
Tanner Cassidy went 3 for 3 and drove in two runs to lead Perry Central. Andrew Mosby went 2 for 2 and was hit by a pitch for the fourth time this season.
