European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Covered Vase Made in Nevers, France, Europec. 1850 Artist/maker unknown, French Tin-glazed earthenware (faience) with polychrome decoration Currently not on view 1914-202,a Purchased with Special Museum Funds, 1914 |
LabelOne of the numerous faience factories in Nevers, a city located in central France, made this monumental vase. It is decorated with chinoiserie motifs--European interpretations of Asian art and culture, sometimes real and sometimes imagined--that became popular in the second half of the seventeenth century. The figures appear to be engaged in a game, but one that does not seem to have an Asian equivalent. Tin-glazed earthenware in imitation of blue and white Chinese porcelain was first produced in the Netherlands, most famously in the city of Delft, from which the fashion spread to other European countries. This vase's bottom border of acanthus leaves derives from Chinese examples. The acanthus leaf design, found in ancient Greek art, came to China by way of the Middle East.

ISMAR DAVID'S GRAPHIC CAREER spanned more than six decades and two or three continents (depending on your continental drift.) In other words, he trained in Berlin from the late '20s until 1932 when he emigrated to then Palestine, leaving Israel in 1952 for New York, his home until he died in 1996.
The aim of this blog is to create a searchable online archive of Ismar's work, beginning with his book jackets and covers. You, too, can help, with your comments and with information and anecdotes about the artist and his graphic times.

And the nominees are…Category: "Best Ways to Succeed with Social Media Marketing in 2014"By Gail Moody-Byrd, senior director of marketing, SAPRead more postsSPECIAL REPORTSearch marketing evolves into a multichannel playSOCIALStudy: Social media influences b2b tech purchasesMEDIA BUSINESSSpiceworks CEO Scott Abel details novel business modelMANAGEMENTDigital Edge focuses on content marketing, social mediaMANAGEMENTFelsenthal stepping down as BtoB publisherPrevious issues can be found in the BtoB archiveFEATURESGUIDESRESOURCESMEDIA BUSINESSABOUT US |
IMG Interactive Marketing Guide
For b2b marketers, digital editions of business publications have long promised to create a new age of print-style advertising that would include video, links to websites and precise readership metrics.
But even as Apple's iPad, Android tablets and other e-readers herald a new era of interactive advertising, b2b marketers have been slow to take advantage of the opportunity represented by digital editions.
"It's an important opportunity," said Ned May, VP-lead analyst at Outsell Inc., "but perhaps not as great as everyone might hope."
Media strategists see the potential in digital editions but say it has rarely been realized. "We were not big fans of the early digital editions when trade publications started to substitute them for print subscribers," said Dave Rowe, VP-media director at Doremus & Co., adding, "We see more potential for digital editions being created for the iPad and other tablets. However, many of the magazines are not willing to reveal the number of downloads they are generating."
Ted Kohnen, VP-integrated marketing, at Stein+Partners Brand Activation, said, "Digital editions give marketers another touch point, and multiple touches equal action—and specifically a touch point in a low-noise environment with not a lot of ads on the screen like a website."
The advertising opportunities available to b2b marketers depend on the kind of digital edition a media company offers. Some publishers use digital editions to reduce production and international shipping costs; others, to generate revenue from paid content; and still others, to create a stirring new media experience for readers and advertisers.
B2b media companies have a number of choices when producing digital editions. Publishers can simply take the PDF their design staff used to create the print magazine and post that online. Others rely on digital edition software providers—such as Texterity (recently acquired by Godengo Inc.) and Nxtbook—to create digital editions that feature "page-turning" capabilities and embedded audio and video.
Some publishers with deep pockets, such as the Financial Times, are using HTML5 and help from software developers to create customized digital versions that bring a new kind of magazine experience to tablets and smartphones. FT has attracted such b2b advertisers as CME Group and FedEx Corp. with its groundbreaking HTML5 app, which famously bypassed Apple Inc.'s App Store.
Even without Apple's online distribution muscle, the FT app currently has 1.7 million users. Mobile users account for 19% of traffic to FT.com and, perhaps more important from a financial standpoint, comprise 12% of new digital subscriptions.
But most b2b media companies do not have the resources of FT or The Wall Street Journal, which has a successful app that attracts advertisers such as Accenture, Oracle Corp. and Salesforce.com. If b2b publishers have invested in digital editions, it has often been halfheartedly; and, as a result, they have put little effort into ad sales.
Summit Media Group, which publishes Packaging World, has begun to prioritize selling advertisers on the benefits of digital editions. Last year, Packaging World surveyed its readers and found 46% of its subscribers owned a tablet and 78% said they planned to own a tablet by next month. Additionally, of those who already owned tablets, 74% said they read work-related digital magazines on the devices.
Like most b2b titles, Packaging World bundles advertising opportunities, offering marketers that buy an ad in print an equal ad in the digital edition—and vice versa.
Summit, however, monetizes the Packaging World digital edition in two main ways. First, it charges marketers extra to use video in a digital edition ad. Second, it offers a "corner cut" violator on the print edition cover to a single sponsor of the digital edition. Markem-Imaje, a packaging equipment supplier, has sponsored the cover of Packaging World.
Summit is currently using the App Store and Apple Newsstand, but Dave Newcorn, the media company's VP-custom and e-media, said he is skeptical of the value to marketers.
For Newcorn, Apple's lack of transparency is a sticking point (which is the same reason FT rejected the App Store). "Until we can identify who those people are [who are downloading an app via the App Store or Apple Newsstand]—on our terms, not on their terms—we can't credibly go to marketers and say, "This is your audience.' It could be 13-year-old girls in Europe [downloading these apps] for all we know," he said.
CFE Media, a publisher covering the engineering sector, is taking a different approach with its revamped digital editions. The company is currently focused on getting them approved for the App Store. "Right now, it's more about enhancing the user experience than monetizing our digital editions," said Paul Brouch, CFE Media's group production manager.
At present, each of CFE Media's three titles—Control Engineering (35%), Plant Engineering (29%) and Consulting-Specifying Engineer (28%)—has digital editions reaching more than one in four of its readers, many of them based outside the U.S.
However, CFE Media had a long-term plan to generate revenue from its digital editions. "Our new platform does allow us to incorporate a number of potential ad units and interactive advertising opportunities," Brouch said. "We're currently working on interactive opportunities with a few select advertisers, but are still evaluating their performance."

East Asian Art Orchids and Calligraphy Made in Korea, Asia1916 Kim Eung-won, Korean, 1855 - 1921 Ink on paper; mounted as a ten-fold screen Currently not on view 2004-84-1 Purchased with the James and Agnes Kim Foundation Fund, 2004 |
LabelThis folding screen was decorated by the renowned painter Kim Eung-won (pen name Soho), who specialized in depicting orchids. Kim Eung-won was a leading figure in Korean artistic circles during the first quarter of the twentieth century, playing an important role in preserving the tradition of Korean painting after the end of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910).The orchids and leaves are painted in fluid, free, monochrome brushstrokes that are echoed in the calligraphy. Each panel bears Kim Eung-won's seals and a Chinese poem that pays tribute to the orchid's inherent beauty and grace. Orchids are one of the four subjects—known as the "four gentlemen"—particularly loved by literati artists of the Joseon period. Images of these flowers are often meant to represent the quality of purity. |

These ROCK!
Good material, not too thin or thick. Expected them to be too small because I'm above the weight scale for the size, but they still fit.... Perfect tights for Color-Blocking.
January 3, 2013
color not as pictured
Orange is my favorite color, so when I buy something orange I want ORANGE. When these arrived, they were much more of a pumpkin color, so they were exchanged on that basis only. Can't speak to the other colors.
December 18, 2012
I RealAudio like them
I prefer non control top hose, but these fit nicely and complete an outfit for cooler weather. Very comfy. Please male a non control top! Have black, navy and brown. I mix and match with several skirts and dresses. Need to buy a bold color!
December 8, 2012
Love em!
I'm slowly becoming a fan of tights again. I used to wear them all the time in the 90s but I love wearing skirts and decided the only way I would really wear a short one in the winter is if I had tights. Sooo I broke down and bought these in black and brown. I absolutely love them. I like that they aren't like panty hose, a little thicker, and the control top is great!! They look great with the two skirts below (the main reason I bought them). Now to experiment with them during our cold winters!
December 6, 2012
Love them!
These tights are SO comfortable and look fantastic on!!!!
November 27, 2012

Vacuum Filters
Did you know that filters that are clogged may severely impact your vacuum cleaner's performance? They help maintain strong suction and also help pick up dirt effectively. It is important to replace your filter every six to 12 months depending on the brand and you cleaning frequency. The various types of filters include exhaust filters, air inlet filters, motor filters and HEPA filters. You need to follow the recommendations for filter replacement based on the cleaning system brand. HEPA filters are the best option for allergy sufferers because they are designed to remove fine particles from the air including mold spores, smoke, dust and mites. It is recommended that you change the filter of your cleaning system outside your home to prevent re-release of spores and dust to the air in your home. Known to filter up to 99.97% of dust particles, HEPA filters can cut down the amount of dust you inhale drastically. Keeping your vacuum cleaner free from blockages and obstructions by replacing its filters regularly not only ensure a top performing vacuuming cleaning system but also reduced incidence of allergies.

Stephen ThompsonTRAINING: My days are long in that I train two, sometimes three, times a day and also train my Kempo students on top of that. My training starts at 9am three days a week. That is when I do my S&C with Coach Tim Mullany or mitt work with Mr. T (my dad). Two days a week at noon I am doing wrestling with Coach Tom Lee and two days on RCJ Machado BJJ with pro MMA fighter, Joseph Corneroli. I travel to Dallas, when possible, to train with Prof. Carlos Machado on my BJJ, and while there I train with my brother Evan on MMA and kickboxing. I do the majority of my MMA sparring on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
When and why did you start training for fighting? When I was three years old. My father was a professional fighter and owned a Karate school. All the kids in our family started training at age three. What ranks and titles have you held? Five-time world champion kickboxer, black belt in kempo karate, black belt in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, black belt in kickboxing, blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Do you have any heroes? None What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I want to fight the best in the world and I want to be a champion, so being the in the UFC is a dream come true.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 14
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Becka too large
I love the colors and style of this jacket, but when I tried it on it looked so oversized. I'm 5'1 and about 110 lbs. I ordered a size small, and the sleeves were so long I had to scrunch them up to put my thumbs through the thumb holes. The garment was long enough to completely cover my rear end, which is cool if that's what you're into, but it wasn't what I expected. Another reviewer said it makes you look pregnant which was also the case with me. The zipper was stiff and stuck out, giving a rounded look to the tummy region. Overall just way too roomy. I had to check a few times to make sure I had indeed ordered a small and not a large!

Rated 3 out of 5Â by ShimmyGFang makes you look pregnant
Very comfortable, super soft material. Great hood (has great depth that accommodates ponytails and drawstrings tighten it and keep it in place if needed). Great weight (not bulky, still warm). BUT the zipper seems too stiff for the fabric and it curves outward, no matter how I try to bend it back, it keeps the weird shape and it makes you look pregnant when you zip the jacket. Not flattering at all. I am 5'5", hourglass shape, 135 lbs - the medium fits great. Except the big band / trim across the bottom of the jacket unflattering emphasizes my hips and makes me look short /squatly (also while looking pregnant!) Arm length is fantastic. Despite being unflattering, the piece is so comfortable I'm debating to keep it.

I bought this is gray and it's the most comfortable hoodie in my closet right now. It definitely kept me warm when the temps are in the 50s outside. I'm not sure if it's warm enough if the temps dip below that so stay active! I'm 5'0, 125 lbs and it's a little long on me and M is pretty baggy but I'm fine with baggy and long. The quality is great! I'll definitely order it in more colors but in size S.

Bought this for the wife as a surprise holiday gift after she tried it in at a big box sporting goods emporium. Great cut, great fit, she loved the texture of the climawarm fabric. Definitely recommended.
Only complaint is that the color listed for the hoodie is completely different than the color listed for the matching pants!

The jacket itself is very comfortable but the only problem I have is with the collar. The collar is very oddly shaped and the zipper juts into my neck when i zip it up all the way. I like being able to zip my jackets all the way up, so it is a little bit of a set back.

The sweatshirt is sized correctly, a small will fit a size 6-8. The color scheme is true to the picture on the web site. The only disappointment was that after I purchased this for $49, the same sweatshirt was in Dick's Sporting Goods for $25!

Not as warm as claimed. Sleeves are not smooth enough inside for shirt sleeves to easily slide in. Very annoying. The seam across the elbow is very uncomfortable when wearing without a long sleeved shirt.

I like wine so I don't really need any other reason to encourage me to drink it. If I did, there are plenty to choose from with the latest one that I have found, being that it helps to prevent eye disease. Apparently the chemical resveratrol in red wine prevents age related deterioration of the eye muscles and halts the growth of blood vessels in the eye which usually lead to failing eyesight.
You might want to think twice when you decide to have that extra mince pie this Christmas. If this article is to be believed the average person puts on 4lb over the Christmas period and takes three months to lose the extra weight. Personally I find this a little hard to believe but I will be monitoring my weight with interest this year to see whether there is any truth in it.
I often feel at my best after a run so wasn't surprised to read this article which suggests physical activity increases your ability to think creatively. It seems exercise not only helps your body to feel better it can also benefit your mind. The benefits, however, are only felt by those who exercise regularly. Another reason to get off the sofa and do some running then.
This is an interesting idea, it's a baby chair with an iPad holder attached. I'm not really sure why you would want to combine the two. Although I do let my daughter use my iPad for a limited amount of time, I certainly wouldn't be letting her use it whilst sitting in her chair and she is older than the target market of this product. Personally I think young children need a limited exposure to technology to encourage them to play imaginatively so wouldn't be buying this product.
I have very little free time so I am feeling a little pleased with myself this year that I already have all my Christmas gifts wrapped and ready. I haven't actually been shopping but have just ordered everything a long time in advance online. I can't remember what is in most of the parcels so I think I will be as surprised as the recipients when they are opened.
There are a lot of toys I wanted as a child but never had. Having children now I am just starting to rediscover some of them. My daughter's recent birthday has seen all sorts of new toys and games enter the house, my favourite so far being the Playdoh. I didn't realise quite how many gadgets and attachments are available for it and am really enjoying experimenting with everything that is available. I think my daughter enjoys it too.
I am always looking for ways to save more money on the shopping bill and recently have been doing less supermarket shops. I now tend to do one large supermarket shop every month for cupboard items and already order my meat and fish every two months in bulk. The rest of my shopping tends to come from Abel and Cole at the moment. I already have a vegetable box most weeks and find it much easier to add the odd item I have forgotten to buy to this order rather than doing a supermarket shop which would ultimately mean I spend more money on things I might want but perhaps don't need. In some ways it's a shame I can't have a similar service from Sainsbury's where I can order the things I use every week on a regular order and add extra items up to a weekly cut-off time.
I tend to get hiccups a lot and was reminded this weekend that a sip of lemon juice never fails to get rid of them. It's perhaps not the most pleasant drink but certainly more pleasant than several hours of hiccups.

A semitrailer accident slowed traffic on Interstate 70 early Sunday morning.
According to a news release issued by the Indiana State Police, the incident occurred at 8:45 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 70 near the 2-mile marker in the eastbound lanes. Emergency responders arrived at the scene of an overturned tractor-trailer just east of the entrance to the Clear Creek Rest Area.
According to the release, the semi was driven by Larry Larson, 69, of Kansas carrying 20,000 pounds of dry insulation. For an unknown reason, the vehicle veered to the right, and struck and destroyed nearly 100 feet of guardrail before overturning onto the passenger side in a wooded area.
The news release states that investigators believe Larson might have fallen asleep behind the wheel.
A minimal amount of diesel fuel was reportedly leaking into a ditch, but was contained by the Sugar Creek Fire/Rescue Department.
The vehicle — belonging to Doug Bradley Trucking of Salina, Kan. — was en route to Richmond. Larson was not injured and no tickets were issued at the scene.
Traffic was slowed in the area Sunday afternoon as workers cleaned the scene.

Obama-Netanyahu relationship shaped by Gaza
President gains leverage for future negotiations
Amid the flurry of diplomatic congratulations over the maneuvering that led to a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas this week, the dual readouts of the roles played by President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contained some interesting language.
A written statement detailing the telephone conversation between the two after an agreement was reached included the usual language of maintaining the U.S. commitment to Israeli security. But the White House also said that Obama "commended the prime minister for agreeing to the Egyptian cease-fire proposal - which the president recommended the prime minister to do."
Netanyahu's office released a statement that said he had "acceded" to Obama's recommendation to sign the deal and thanked the president for his support of Israel during the operation.
After a few years worth of headlines bemoaning the frosty relationship between the two, could a detente of sorts be in the offing? If so, would it give Obama additional leverage with Netanyahu as they move forward on even more complex problems like the Iranian nuclear crisis and the elusive search for peace between Israelis and Palestinians?
The answers are not so simple.
"What you are seeing playing out now I think is an effort on the part of the president to put some currency back into the bank with regard to his relationship with Netanyahu," says Aaron David Miller, a long time U.S. negotiator on Middle East policy who is now with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
For Miller, Obama "made a virtue out of necessity" by repeatedly stressing Israel's right to self defense, and pushing every party involved to find a quick solution.
"Netanyahu and Obama have in my view one of the most dysfunctional relationships of any Israeli prime minister and American president," Miller says. "In large part because there is an absence of trust and confidence between the two."
Despite getting off to a rocky start with Netanyahu by pushing for a comprehensive freeze of Israeli settlements, Obama's vocal support for Netanyahu through the recent crisis and U.S. financial support for the "Iron Dome" anti-missile program, could pave the road for greater trust in the relationship, and more flexibility from Netanyahu when it comes to the disputed Iranian nuclear program.
"I think what it does is position [Obama] in a much better place to begin if there are opportunities to move forward," Miller said. "It creates an opportunity for him to ask Netanyahu to do some things in a much more credible way than he ever could in the past."
But will it give Obama greater leverage over Netanyahu on how the two countries approach Iran's nuclear program?
"I wouldn't say it increases leverage," said Robert Satloff, Executive Director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. What it does, Satloff said, is send a message to Iran and the region that the United States will stand by Israel in times of crisis.
More importantly, the very public support from the United States for Israel from the beginning of the Gaza crisis was necessary, analysts said, to avoid the optic of U.S. indifference for an important ally in a time of need.
"That was very good and positive I think in terms of impact on the Iran situation," Satloff says. Otherwise "it would have underscored a breach, the breach would have gotten broader, and it would have increased the likelihood of Israeli unilateral action on Iran at some point in the future."
Long time Middle East watchers said the strong support from the Obama administration will do more to set the tone of the relationship going forward, rather than giving one country the upper hand over the other.
"The fact that we are able to talk about security issues and reach desired outcomes together is positive," says Jon Alterman, who is with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "Our ability to make agreements and advance Israeli security lays the groundwork for future agreements on Israeli security. Good relationships make it easier to work together, but I don't think one side feels you owe me because I did this for you."
Regardless of how Obama and Netanyahu move forward together on the Iranian nuclear issue, the Israeli electorate could also have a say on how that approach unfolds with Israeli elections set for January 22.
Netanyahu "is going to make a judgment whether his interests are advanced or set back by a good relationship with Obama or a bad relationship with Obama," Alterman said. "Whether he is re-elected, what type of government emerges from that, what hind of mandate he feels he has -- that's all unknown."

Actress Mayim Bialik and her husband Michael Stone have decided to separate after nine years of marriage.
Bialik shared the news on her parenting blog Wednesday, telling fans that she and Stone agreed to separate due to irreconcilable differences "after much consideration and soul-searching."
The 36-year-old "Big Bang Theory" actress and Stone have two sons together, ages 7 and 4, and Bialik assures readers that she and Stone don't take their decision lightly.
"Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children," Bialik posted on her blog. "The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible. Our sons deserve parents committed to their growth and health and that's what we are focusing on."
Bialik's known for her passion about "attachment parenting," an approach that she embraces with her own family and has written about in a book called "Beyond the Sling." In her blog post Wednesday, she clarified that their "hands-on style of parenting" wasn't a factor in their split.
"Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose," Bialik said. "We will be ok."

This is a fine color plate from the rare, authoritive book on the work of Hohlwein by Professor Frenzel of 1926.
Ludwig Hohlwein was one of the seminal figures in the history of poster art and graphic design. The incredibly versatile artist and decorator was trained as an architect and by 1904, at the age of 30, turned his attention to advertising. Completely self-taught as a graphic designer, he was strongly influenced by the revolutionary work of the Beggarstaff Brothers in England and rejected the decorative flourishes of the preceding Art Nouveau style. A master illustrator, Hohlwein created rich characterizations that were emboldened by flat, geometric patterns of striking color.
Highly productive, Hohlwein created more than 400 posters. Leading poster historian Alain Weill considers him "the most prolific and brilliant german posterist of the 20th century."

That Snoop Dogg will now be known as Snoop Lion, promises to never rap again and has gotten Rastafari religion might be the most surprising news of my day.
Of course, Snoop is an entertainer, so no surprise on the movie tie-in. The documentary of his journey to Rastafarianism is called "Reincarnation."

Mitt Romney traveled to Israel Saturday to improve his chances with American voters interested in US-Israel relations. In particular, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate is trying to shore up his support among Jewish voters.
But he shouldn't expect to much of a bump at the polls. At least not according to a new report that says American Jews will vote in November how they typically vote: primarily for the Democratic presidential candidate.
The report, "Making Sense of the Jewish Vote," predicts Jewish Americans will follow historical precedent and largely vote Democrat this fall. Moreover, Jewish voters will have a negligible effect on the presidential election's outcome, even in swing states, said Jim Gerstein, a pollster with polling firm GBA Strategies who compiled the report.
As with most Americans, the economy is Jewish voters' greatest concern, not Israel, according to Gerstein, who cited a 2010 poll that found only 7 percent considered Israel a top priority.

I haven't read "Fifty Shades of Grey" and I know nothing about it—other than that there are stacks and stacks of the book at Costco, and it was not written by Jonathan Franzen.
But the book is a smash hit—think "Twilight" for non-tweens. And a hotel in the Lake District of England has opted to replace the Gideon's Bible with a copy of E.L. James' novel in each room.
On his blog, the innkeeper explains:
In this secular age it seems distinctly odd that anyone would expect to find a religious book in a hotel bedroom. But I won't be giving all our Gideon bibles to the Help The Aged charity shop – I'll keep a couple behind the reception desk so that if any guest whose preferred bedtime reading happens to be the bible finds that they have forgotten to pack their copy, they'll be pleased to read in the guest handbook that they can borrow a copy from the receptionist.

I closely followed the revelations last month that Jonah Lehrer, the wonder boy pop-neuroscience writer who had just landed at the New Yorker, had a habit of being a bit repetitive. On several occasions, it was discovered that Lehrer had almost verbatim copied from himself.
I thought that the reaction was overblown. I found it to be a bit of schadenfreude (as did my blogging colleague Danielle Berrin).
Still Lehrer's act wasn't "self-plagiarism"—it was, as Jack Schafer termed it, "onanism." It was dishonest with readers, but it didn't violate a cardinal rule of journalism.
I regularly recite my own work on this blog. The difference is just that I identify and cite to the original publication. (Example.)
I also didn't want to believe that someone whom I had come to respect since interviewing him for The Jewish Journal before the release of his first of three books had questionable journalism ethics. After all, he hadn't lifted someone else's work or fabricated any information.
But then today came this news:
Jonah Lehrer has reportedly resigned from The New Yorker on the same day Michael Moynihan makes pretty convincing case in Tablet Magazine that Lehrer invented, deceptively patched together, or at best could not provide documentation for several quotes he attributed to Bob Dylan in his book Imagine: How Creativity Works. Lehrer already found himself in a bit of a journalism scandal last month when he got caught copying his own work from earlier publications and using it for posts on his newly created Frontal Cortex blog on The New Yorker's website, but Moynihan's accounts of quote fabrication and lying about one's sources points to a journo-crime of an entirely different degree. The New York Times's Julie Bosman reports that according to his publisher, he's resigned, and they will stop shipping his book.
An archived version of the Tablet story is here (there website is down, presumably from traffic). And here is a statement from Lehrer:
Three weeks ago, I received an email from journalist Michael Moynihan asking about Bob Dylan quotes in my book Imagine," Mr. Lehrer said in a statement. "The quotes in question either did not exist, were unintentional misquotations, or represented improper combinations of previously existing quotes. But I told Mr. Moynihan that they were from archival interview footage provided to me by Dylan's representatives. This was a lie spoken in a moment of panic. When Mr. Moynihan followed up, I continued to lie, and say things I should not have said.

Ross Douthat, the New York Times columnist, is bothered by what he sees as regular limitations on the reasonable free exercise of religion. He writes:
It may seem strange that anyone could look around the pornography-saturated, fertility-challenged, family-breakdown-plagued West and see a society menaced by a repressive puritanism. But it's clear that this perspective is widely and sincerely held.
It would be refreshing, though, if it were expressed honestly, without the "of course we respect religious freedom" facade.
If you want to fine Catholic hospitals for following Catholic teaching, or prevent Jewish parents from circumcising their sons, or ban Chick-fil-A in Boston, then don't tell religious people that you respect our freedoms. Say what you really think: that the exercise of our religion threatens all that's good and decent, and that you're going to use the levers of power to bend us to your will.

Yesterday's Olympics included a few stunners, among them Alexandra Raisman bumping Jordyn Weiber from the women's gymnastics team finals. (I know this only because my wife loves gymnastics. Honestly.) It was Raisman's final event—the floor routine—that jumped her ahead of Weiber.
And what song did this "nice Jewish girl from Massachusetts" perform to? "Hava Nagila."
From Haaretz:
Raisman is certainly not the only gymnast to utilize the catchy tune - it has been a favorite over the years and is a proven crowd-pleaser with gymnastics fans. But she may very well be the first Jewish gymnast to do so - and if all goes well and American hopes are realized, she might be the first to ride the Hava Nagila train to an Olympic medal.
Read the rest here, and a 2011 JTA story about why Raisman has chosen the song.

Every presidential election, there is talk of how the Jewish vote will shake out, and efforts by each party to grab more votes than they normally do.
There are more Republican Jews than one might expect, and their prominence has grown in recent elections as the Republican Jewish Coalition has increased efforts. This cycle, Sheldon Adelson is getting all the attention. After all, he might be the single biggest spender in the presidential election.
The New York Times picked up on this and discusses what it means:
The fight for the Jewish vote is more of a hunt-and-peck search for disgruntled voters, considering that Mr. Obama won more than 70 percent of votes among Jews in 2008, according to exit polls. But with an estimated 600,000 Jewish voters in Florida, a critical swing state, Democratic leaders said they were not taking the constituency for granted, and they acknowledged a need to increase enthusiasm among Jews before November.
"They figure if they shave off a few points here and a few points there in the Jewish population through lying and distortions, they can win," said Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. "But they can't dress themselves up to be something appealing to the Jewish community when they aren't."
The Republican Jewish Coalition, the party's leading outreach group for Jewish voters, has spent months developing a campaign to find like-minded voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the three swing states with the largest Jewish populations. It is the most extensive electoral effort undertaken by the group.
"We don't need to get a majority of the vote to win," said Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition. "When we take votes away from Democrats, we are taking votes from a key part of their constituency."

After a terribly boring Opening Ceremony, the 2012 Olympics are in full swing. (There was a moment of silence at the Opening Ceremony, but not for the 11 Israeli victims of the Munich Olympics.) One of the many events that Americans are expected to do well in is the men's marathon: Ryan Hall is a stud and the fastest American marathoner ever.
He also thinks he has an extra edge on the competition: God is his coach.
Deadspin has a long story about, in which the writer asks if Hall will still excel despite his now unorthodox training approach. An excerpt:
So he's moved away from Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where the rest of the Olympic team trains. Lately, he's been attending classes at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, where students learn "how to cast out demons, witness, heal the sick, prophesy, preach, pray, practice His presence and much more," according to the school's website. Among the miracles that members of the Bethel Church say they experience during spiritually intense moments are clouds of gold dust floating down from above.
His races since the Boston triumph have been solid but uneven, but Hall has stuck to his path. He doesn't keep track of how many miles he runs; he works out and rests when God tells him to. The resting, in particular, tends to worry some people who pay attention to running: Hall, 29, said he is running fewer miles than he has since high school, when he burst onto the scene as California state cross-country champion.
"He highlighted the need for me to take one day a week as a day of rest," Hall wrote in an email to Deadspin, "in the same way that God took a day of rest after creating the universe."
It seems to have worked for God. But for an endurance athlete trying to compete with a troupe of very fast, very motivated East Africans? Is this any way to train for the Olympics?
