been there with a group of friends. the food is exceptional, very tasty, well prepared. service is fast . they know what they doing.
Good food in a lovely setting with views. Expensive though. Excellent Croatian Pinot Noir by the glass.
Lovely views, great service, exceptional food. Who would think to order the steak but honestly probably the best steak I've ever eaten. What else can I say?!
Set halfway up the hill, it has lovely views out over the city. We stopped here for a light lunch and were not disappointed. The food was very tasty, and the waiter was friendly. A little pricey compared to most other restaurants, but well worth it.
We ate fish for a business dinner there. It was all good, good fish, good atmospere, but rather expensive. So if you are on a budget, do not go there. If you can spend some money, it is worth a try.
The first thing you notice as you walk down the stairs into the restaurant is the lovely atmosphere as you take a seat at your table and look out across the lights of the city. We had lovely entrees of cheese ravioli with basil butter sauce and scrumptious shrimp risotto. Our mains were equally appetising - ranging from veal escalopes... More
My wife and me, had diner last week.First, we found nice table without reservation.We had tuna pate as starter (couvert) and was very tasty.As main course I ordered monkfish on grill served with arugula and potato as dish side, and my wife beefsteak with truffle sauce.Fish was very fresh, good roasted and creative served.For steak my wife said average.We also... More
After we arrive at restaurant reserved before, we had our table ready; we wait 20 minutes to have the menus and other 15 minutes to have a bottle of local beer. The quality of food was very standard, my wife ordered calamari, that was not tender (maybe not very fresh). Bad service. The worst was with the check. The house... More
This place is indeed not easy to find but once you managed to locate it, it is worth it ! A little off the beaten track, nicely tucked away with a nice view on the old town. The food is excellent, the service great (speak EN and D)

Lady Gaga goes 1940′s
This was set to be the week that Postmodern Jukebox covered Lady Gaga. Obviously, we had chosen the song "Applause"- it being her most recent hit and all – but sometimes, an artist will beat us to doing a jazz cover of their own song and performs it on SNL. You win this time, Gaga.
So, we called an audible and went back to 2008 to pick a Lady Gaga that I feel works even better as a jazz tune – "Just Dance:"
I'll be the first to admit that I only understand about 25% of the lyrics, but I liked […]

Civil War Genealogy and Research
Military, Army, and Service Records: Promotion, Transfer, and Unit Designations (Genealogy Research Tools are Located at the Bottom of this Page)
During the course of the Civil War, many soldiers served in two or more regiments or units. When a soldier was hospitalized, his current unit information was recorded. When the soldier later applied for veteran and pension benefits, however, his initial unit facts, as well as his last unit information, were typically recorded. When a soldier was wounded and later returned to service, he may have transferred to another regiment or returned to service in the nearest regiment. After a soldier was separated from his company during battle, he may have been assigned to the first regiment he encountered. This also occurred after a prisoner exchange. (A captured soldier was exchanged with the enemy; a "prisoner for prisoner exchange.") Prisoner exchange was common practice and some prisoners were paroled by simply stating that they would not bear arms and further pledged that they would return to their homes. While some chose to ignore the demand, superiors instructed others to rejoin the nearest regiment until they received official orders. Regardless of the transfer, protocol required a letter sent to the prior regiment stating the reason for transfer, hence, clearing the soldier of desertion or dereliction-of-duty. (This also allowed the former regiment the option to recall the soldier.) Complicating the research was the fact that most units had various designations. Furthermore, by 1864, many regiments were reduced by as much as 70% and then the remnants consolidated with other regiments, reorganized, disbanded, or remained weakened. This attrition can be attributed to killed-in-action, diseases, wounds, desertion, capture, missing-in-action, and enlistment expiration. A typical regiment consisted of approximately 1100 soldiers or ten companies. Each company consisted of 110 soldiers. Subtract 70% and one will see the horrible cost of conflict. As the Civil War progressed, brigade or division commanders would determine whether or not to strengthen, consolidate, or disband a regiment. Promotion: Robert Gustavus Adolphus Love, or R. G. A. Love, initially served as Captain in the 16th North Carolina Infantry Regiment in the Army of Northern Virginia. When Robert G. A. Love received a promotion to Colonel he transferred to the 62nd North Carolina Regiment. Examples of Added Confusion
As Civil War companies were rapidly shifted to meet current demands, they often times lacked a "Unit Historian." Also when elements of the 16th and 62nd North Carolina Regiments reorganized into Thomas' Legion, the records became even more confused and complicated. As Knoxville surrendered, it is believed that General Buckner had many records burned. General Alfred E. "Old Mudwall" Jackson and Colonel John Palmer struggled with Colonel W. H. Thomas for control of the "Legion," which complicated the records situation. Fueled by former political rivalries, Gov. Vance and his brother, General Robert Vance, didn't help matters. It was the constant and proverbial power struggle. (Colonel Thomas's court-martials were a direct result of this bitter political infighting.) (Personal Note: I served in the U.S. Air Force and retired with the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard was a component of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Subsequently, the Coast Guard reorganized or consolidated with the United States Department of Homeland Security. My records reflect my highest rank held and last service assigned. Even in our very high-tech era the service records appear to conflict: they reflect references to the Air Force, Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, and Department of Homeland Security. Until explained, this can be very confusing.)
The First Impression was a Lasting Impression
During the last months of the American Civil War, when the "Lost Cause" was embraced, many soldiers were unofficially promoted by their peers to fill vacancies. This explains why the officially mustered out rank/grade was often times a lesser rank than claimed via soldiers' papers, diaries and memoirs. During the last months of the War, privates were being unofficially appointed to the rank or grade of lieutenant. Concurrently, some Confederate commanders were destroying all, or what remained, of the regimental records. Some Confederates viewed their documents as evidence for the Yankees. They further understood that all Confederate documents were incriminating and paramount to "Treason against the Union." At the time, the Rebels didn't know if they would be hanged, shot or imprisoned for their rebellion.
Overall, many Confederate Service Records were accidentally or intentionally destroyed, lost, poorly recorded or inaccurately recorded. To make matters worse, some regiments never recorded any information. Lt. Col. Walter Clark states that "The majority of troop rosters and official military records had been forcibly confiscated by Lincoln's hordes or wantonly destroyed." Walter Clark's Regiments: An Extended Index to the Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from North Carolina in the Great War 1861-1865: By Charles C. Davis, p. 5.

Recommended Reading: Civil War Research Guide: A Guide for Researching Your Civil War Ancestor. Description: It has been over 40 years since the last comprehensive guide to tracing and researching Civil War ancestors was published. The "Civil War Research Guide" goes beyond, but does not exclude, such major national sources such as the National Archives in Washington, and features information on little-known publications, websites, auctions, memorabilia dealers, and patriotic organisations. The authors lay out a systematic procedure for performing research and recording the results in order to build a proper file on a Civil War soldier, making the experience both educational and entertaining. Continued below…
About the Authors: Stephen McManus resides in East Whiteland, Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Rensselear Polytechnic Institute and Delaware Law School. Donald Thompson resides in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and is a graduate of Rhode Island College. Thomas Churchill resides in Summerville, South Carolina, and is a graduate of the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. "Great Civil War soldier research guide...[I]ndispensable source for tracing your Civil War ancestor, witnessing the soldier's military service, and for the individual interested in primary source documentation of Civil War soldiers and their military service [records]." "Invaluable aid to researching and gathering the primary documentation of the Civil War soldier."
Recommended Reading: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy, 2nd Edition. Description: A very helpful genealogy reference! It is extremely helpful if you're in the "I want to trace my roots, ancestors, family tree and heritage. How do I begin, where do I start, and how do I go about doing it?" situation. It contains numerous helpful common sense tips that will prevent future headaches and a lot of well thought out suggestions and tips too. One helpful hint: "Talk with your extended family and interview them for genealogy information, be patient with them, and let them tell their stories....document everything." There are plenty of well-mannered tips like these that elevate this book to excellence. A lot of the confusing aspects of genealogical research such as document requests and providing proof and evidence are well covered. RATED 5 STARS. Continued below...
Customer's Review: I bought this book when I hadn't yet done any research at all about my family history. A year and a half later, I have a file drawer full of information, and I have needed no other reference. I also bought a book called "The Source", which is supposed to be the 'genealogist's bible', and it has been a giant paperweight in comparison. Idiot's genealogy is full of the kind of practical information that can carry you through years of research. Happy hunting!!!
Recommended Reading: Genealogy 101: How to Trace Your Family's History and Heritage. Description: A recent Maritz Poll reported that 60% of Americans are interested in their family history. And with good reason. Through genealogy, you can go back into history to meet people who have had more influence on your life than any others -- your ancestors. And the better you get to know your ancestors, the better you will get to know yourself: the who's and what's and why's of you. Continued below...
Barbara Renick, a nationally-known lecturer on genealogy, tells the uninitiated researcher the steps needed to find out who their ancestors really were, and brings together for even the more experienced genealogical researchers the important principles and practices. She covers such topics as the importance of staying organized and how to go about it; where and how to look for information in libraries, historical societies, and on the internet; recognizing that just because something is in print doesn't mean it's right; and how to prepare to visit the home where your ancestors lived. Genealogy 101 is the first book to read when you want to discover who your ancestors were, where they lived, and what they did.
Recommended Reading: Rebel Private: Front and Rear: Memoirs of a Confederate Soldier. Description: First published in 1907, the memoirs of a former Confederate soldier who fought at Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Second Manassas, and Chickamauga reveal the ground-level perspective of a Civil War private. Continued below…
From Publishers Weekly: William Fletcher joined the Confederate Army in 1861. He served with the Army of Northern Virginia's elite Texas Brigade until the Battle of Chickamauga. Unable to march because of wounds, he transferred to the cavalry and finished the war with the Texas Rangers, then wrote his memoirs 40 years later. Most of the original copies were destroyed in a fire. The current edition presents unvarnished images of hard marches, short rations and battles in which being wounded could prove worse than being killed. Fletcher describes the horrors of being a Civil War casualty as vividly as any firsthand account from either side. The author emerges from these pages as fighting less for a cause than for his own pride in being a good soldier. His narrative does more than many learned monographs to explain the Confederacy's long endurance against overwhelming odds.

Need A Tattoo Translated? Forget The British Foreign Office
Originally published on Fri May 17, 2013 6:54 pm
The British Foreign Office is happy to assist its citizens, but officials want to make clear that there are some requests they won't fulfill.
Such as supplying Olympic tickets or doing a background check on that Swedish woman you met online.
Those are just a few of the "often good natured" but distracting requests that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) says it received over the past year, according to a press release issued Thursday.
Some others that no doubt provided stodgy British bureaucrats with some much-needed levity:
-- A man who required hospital treatment in Cambodia when a monkey dislodged a stone that hit him demanded help getting compensation and wanted assurance that it would not happen again.
-- A man asked FCO staff in Rome to translate a phrase for a tattoo that he wanted.
-- A woman requested that consular staff in Tel Aviv order her husband to get fit and eat healthily so that they could have children.
-- A man asked the consulate in Montreal for information to settle a 1,000-pound wager on the color of the British passport.
-- A number of British Consulates have been asked to book hotels or to advise on where to watch football.
"FCO staff help many thousands of British nationals facing serious difficulties around the world every year," says Mark Simmonds, minister of consular affairs. "We also receive over a million inquiries each year, so it is important that people understand what we can and cannot do to support them when they are abroad.
"We are not in a position to help people make travel arrangements or social plans, but we do help those who face real problems abroad. These can include victims of crime, bereaved families who have lost a loved one abroad or Britons who have been arrested or detained," Simmonds says.
"We aim to continue to focus on supporting those who really need our help in the coming year," he says.

HollyFrontier Corp Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (HFC)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A-. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 40.51% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 27.23% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, HFC should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 38.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $241.70 million to $333.67 million.
- HFC's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, HFC has a quick ratio of 1.83, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. In comparison to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, HOLLYFRONTIER CORP has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has greatly exceeded that of the S&P 500.

Atari's bankruptcy plan approved by US court
A US Bankruptcy Court judge has approved Atari's plan to pay back creditors and move out of bankruptcy, The Wall Street Journal reports. The firm filed for Chapter 11 back in January, and a proposal – with agreements from its creditors – will allow the firm to pay what it owes over the course of the next three years. Atari will pay out less than the $10.3 million owed, with some creditors receiving the full note due and others a smaller amount. Atari had originally planned to sell its catalog to pay off it debits, but only 15 bids were placed – all of which were refused. It then started selling parcels off with some failing to be bid upon; however, Wargaming grabbed up the Masters of Orion and Total Annihilation IPs, Stardock won the rights to the Star Control series, and Rebellion Interactive purchased Battlezone and Moonbase Commander. Thanks, GI International.

Meyer doesn't come cheap
New Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer is under pressure to deliver success for many reasons, and not least of all because he hasn't come cheaply.
The South African Rugby Union (Saru) unveiled Meyer on Friday as the man to lead the Boks for the next four years - a decision that has come at a large financial cost.
Meyer will exercise the early-release clause in his Blue Bulls contract, which still had three years to run, meaning that Saru will have to compensate the Bulls financially. Attempts to find out how much Saru will deposit in the Bulls' bank account were unsuccessful, but a Saru official did confirm compensation would be paid.
Over the next four years Meyer's salary, possible bonuses and the compensation could cost Saru in the region of R10-million. It's a hefty investment on the face of it, but hardly a massive amount for one of the best rugby minds globally.
In addition to buying Meyer out of his contract, by locking itself into a four-year contract with the coach, the governing body runs the risk of having to make a hefty severance payout in the event it has to sack Meyer at some point before his contract reaches its conclusion.
Saru CEO Jurie Roux wouldn't discuss details and performance clauses included in Meyer's contract but they will be there. Roux is a canny operator and before deciding to offer the coach a four-year contract, the chief executive would have given Saru some wriggle room.
Former coaches Peter de Villiers and Jake White were both given two-year contracts with an option to renew midway between World Cup cycles based on their performances. Meyer has the luxury of knowing he has Saru's backing until 2015 as long as he keeps up his end of the bargain. Exactly what his end of the bargain entails remains undisclosed.
Meyer did not specify what he considered to be a respectable winning ratio for the Boks, but he did say that South African rugby should be "the best in the world".
"I want to make it very clear that I will use all the resources in my power to make the national team the best team in the world," Meyer said.
"I'm going to be in a lot of meetings with the CEO in the next few weeks and I'm also going to work closely with the franchises in order to do what's best for the Springboks.
"I'm not going to make promises I can't keep but we will plan in advance and plan very thoroughly to map out the way forward.
"All the franchises, every single rugby person and player out there, need to work together, because I think you need to start working, not on the field but planning, for the first four or five months before the first game."
Meyer will take up his duties today even though his contract with the Bulls states that he needs to give them 14 days' notice.
One of his first points of business will be to fly to Britain to catch the opening stages of the Six Nations so he can take notes on England, who will be the Springboks' first opponents, in June.

Effective communication is not about what is said or even what is heard.
Effective communication is all aboutwhat happens as a result.
People who work in companies that communicate clearly, consciously and consistently understand why what they do is important and how everything they do helps make the company mission and vision a reality. They come to work every day with passion, creativity and purpose.
Companies that engage their people in conversation (and actually listen to them) are among the most resourceful, strong and successful inside and out. Companies that get internal communication right deliver better service, achieve greater results and are more resilient in times of change.
It's not just work. It's inspired action.

So second amendment fans are turning their attention to the land of Lincoln.
"This battle will be waged relentlessly at the polls and in the courts," said Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association. "We expect a favorable outcome in the courts, but if these actions fail, it just means that more actions will follow. We will fight until we win, no matter how long it takes."Illinois' dominant politicians are still big gun-control advocates, but they now face the expense of lawsuits that they'll probably lose, at a time when the state is practically broke.
The city of Chicago, which is also fairly broke, is being forced to pay attorney's fees in the big gun-control case they lost: McDonald vs. Chicago.
I also think the evidentiary tide has turned on this issue. States that allow concealed carry have not suffered any big increase in shootings. And Illinois has not become a murder-free paradise.
In retrospect, hampering self-defense
looks sort of dense.

Until Wednesday, I'd thought that the Astros approached Lance Berkman about accepting a trade last summer. Turns out, Astros GM Ed Wade says that the ball began rolling from the other direction.
Was it emotionally tough to make the decision to trade Oswalt and Berkman?
"Sure it was," Wade said. "Roy was more overt about wanting to go someplace. He wasn't content here. He kept saying in different settings privately and publicly, `This is my last contract. I want to win.' That one simmered for an extended period of time."
Did Drayton order you to trade 'em, or did you talk him into it?
"I think we all in the organization were collectively saying it's time. If there's an opportunity to pursue something, let's try and do that. I can't tell you the date, but I was leaving the ballpark after (an afternoon game), and his agent called me and first he started talking about an extension. I said we're not going to do an extension.
"He said Lance is open to the possibility of going someplace else. Lance and I had a conversation, and he said, 'Yeah, I hate to go but I'm open to it.' So we talked to a lot of clubs, and it really just boiled down to the Yankees being our only real opportunity and even there we took a substansial amount of money back.
"When Lance indicated he wanted to come back at the end of the season, we'd already brought Wallace and had done a lot to accomodate him to go someplace where he had a chance to win. It just didn't make sense to re-engage in that."
Regardless, it was the right thing to do then and remains the right thing today. The Astros will be dramatically different in 2011, and it could be great fun watching the young guys get their feet on the ground.
When the term "rebuilding year" was used, Wade disagreed. He said the Astros were conceding nothing, and that while a bunch of stuff has to go right for the Astros to make the playoffs, he hopes the club can play as well as it did the last 110 games last season.
He said the natural progression would be to have a constant flow of young players arriving in the big leagues, and that finally the Astros are close to being able to do that.
"You're always in some state of transition," he said. "I'm sure the '28 Yankees were a little bit different than the '27 Yankees. That's just reality. Our budgets have changed. When the economy cratered, it hit us. Two years ago, our opening day payroll was about $108 (million). Last year, it was $93 (million). This year, it's going to be in the low $80s. As a product of that, some things have to change from a roster standpoint anyway.
"The beauty is that we're beginning to see some guys show up now, and the deals that we weren't trading veteran players for veteran players. Let's trade players and get go low service guys already in the big leagues or guys close to the big leagues. J.A. Happ. Melancon. Wallace. At the same time, Jimmy Paredes, Jonathan Villar help create that stockpile of guys we're going to have to count on going forward."

A classic is re-born – behold the San Marco Regal-E Racing Team Saddle. Style and comfort remain in one of the most innovative saddles of recent times whilst retaining the classic styling cues of yesteryear, the E symbolises an evolution, with its roots in one of the most successful saddles of all time. Its predecessor, the Regal, was used by the greats such as Cipollini, Boonen, McEwen, Lemond and Chiappucci, and the Regal E offers the same level of comfort and support, in an updated form. All primary dimensions are identical to the original, meaning riders used to the Regal can swap between the two without effect.
Racing Team version features a unique, 3 colour design as seen in use by Alessandro Petacchi. Patented non-slip 'Micro Feel' surface allows small adjustments for comfort whilst still offering grip to power against. Dimples in base allow for thicker padding around the sit bones without adding undue bulk or negating the stiff, supportive base. 'Core zone' insert in the carbon fibre, reinforced plastic base offers pressure relief for perennial nerve. Xsilite rails were created specifically for professional racers and are much lighter and stronger than titanium due to a high percentage of silicon mixed with particles of titanium and carbon.

When Rep. Howard Berman and Rep. Brad Sherman, both Democrats, and Republican newcomer Mark Reed debated on Feb. 21 in a gathering sponsored by The Jewish Journal, the questions posed to the three candidates running for congress in the 30th District by Journal Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Rob Eshman and Journal columnist Bill Boyarsky, as well as by this writer, focused largely on foreign policy, specifically in relation to Iran. But if voters were hoping to see clear, unequivocal distinctions between the two experienced lawmakers on this pressing issue, they likely were disappointed.
Berman and Sherman, who have spent a combined 45 years representing neighboring San Fernando Valley districts in Congress, battled over who has been the stronger backer of sanctions against Iran.
"I have been pressing for sanctions since 1998," Sherman said near the start of the 90-minute debate. "I have criticized every secretary of state for not imposing those sanctions, and I have introduced by far the strictest bill to impose sanctions on Iran."
Moments later, Berman touted his own efforts.
"I'm the author of the toughest sanctions that have ever been imposed on Iran, and the administration is implementing them, just the way they should be," he said.
As to whether the Obama administration's sanctions on Iran were having an effect, a slight difference between the two candidates appeared to emerge.
"It's working," Berman said, listing the falling value of Iran's currency and the country's difficulty in exporting its crude oil as evidence that the current sanctions have teeth. "Pursue this course with tougher sanctions on the central bank and on all aspects of Iranian behavior and you will see them abandon their nuclear weapons program."
Sherman disagreed. "While it is true that the Obama administration has done more than prior administrations to sanction Iran," he said, "it isn't nearly enough."
If nuanced observation and a knowledge of the inner workings of Congress are required to determine which of the two incumbents stands as the stauncher supporter of sanctions against Iran, it is far easier to tell the difference between them and Reed, who dismissed the sanctions so far as ineffective and seemed more inclined toward the option of military action by the United States.
"America has an obligation as the world's superpower to take the lead on this," said the Republican, who is running his second campaign for Congress in the San Fernando Valley. "If America doesn't do that, then I am in support of Israel actually taking out the nuclear facilities."
More than 500 people gathered at Temple Judea in Tarzana to hear from three of the candidates in a race that has been the focus of local and national media attention ever since it became clear that new congressional district lines would pit Berman and Sherman against one another in this West San Fernando Valley District.
In recent months, Berman and Sherman have each announced their endorsements from unions, local Democratic Party groups and public officials from all levels. Sherman has won nine union endorsements; Berman has won four. Endorsements from California's Democratic congressmen broke down 23-2 in Berman's favor, and Berman also has the support of the state's two U.S. senators. Locally, Sherman has the backing of five Los Angeles City Council members, including four who represent most of the new 30th District. All five Los Angeles County supervisors are supporting Berman.
And while voters can wait until the June primary to decide whom to support, many donors already have given to one campaign or the other.
Berman, who raised more than $1 million in the last quarter of 2011, received donations from many of the Israeli-American philanthropists who head the Israeli Leadership Council (ILC).
"They both are very strong supporters of Israel," ILC co-chair Eli Tene said of Sherman and Berman. Tene gave $2,500 to Berman's campaign in December, one of four leaders of the ILC to make a four-figure donation. "It's a shame that we need to decide between the good and the good."
One ILC director, Adam Milstein, gave $1,000 to Sherman's campaign in July 2011, and Tene said he didn't see any consensus in the Israeli-American community as to which candidate deserved their support.
"It has to do with who they know," Tene said.
Stanley Black, a Beverly Hills-based real estate developer who has given large gifts to many Los Angeles Jewish nonprofits, knows both Sherman and Berman. He said he wasn't going to decide between the two and has given money to both campaigns.
"They're good guys, both of them," Black said. "They support Israel. I support them both."
For his part, Reed's fundraising operation doesn't appear to have kicked into gear yet — he raised $3,350 in the last three months of 2011 and had just over $3,000 in cash on hand at the end of that year — but his answers at the debate appealed to some in the audience.
"He's more hawkish on Middle East issues than either of the incumbents," said Jeff Leib, a member of Temple Judea who describes himself as a "Republocrat" and is supporting Reed's candidacy.
At the debate, Leib and his wife watched the audience when Reed was speaking, to gauge their reactions.
"We were looking around to see the faces," he said, "and the nods when Mark spoke, from the people wearing the 'I'm with Howard' buttons, were amazing."
This June, for the first time, Californians will vote in primaries that include all candidates, regardless of party affiliation. If no single candidate wins an outright majority, the top two candidates will advance to a run-off in November.
In spite of their status as incumbents, their large reserves of campaign cash and their name recognition, it's possible that either Berman or Sherman might not finish in the top two in June. The two polls to have been made publicly available, one of which was conducted by the Sherman campaign, suggest that Berman wouldn't make the cut.
And an extended battle for the Republican presidential nomination could further bolster Reed's chances of finishing in first or second place.
"In past primary elections, the vote in [the 30th Congressional District] has been around 56 percent Democratic and 38 percent Republican," Democratic consultant Paul Mitchell wrote in a recent newsletter. "And if [Rick] Santorum makes a strong stand on Super Tuesday, we could see that Republican turnout surge. That would make it mathematically tough for both Berman and Sherman to make it to November."

Rep. Howard Berman, Rep. Brad Sherman and Mark Reed may have been the only candidates on the stage at the Jewish Journal-sponsored debate at Temple Judea on February 21, but there are other candidates running for the right to represent California's 30th district in congress—including a third Jewish candidate, a restaurateur, an historian and a freelance gardener.
According to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's website, four Republicans, three Democrats and one member of the Green Party started the process of declaring themselves candidates for congress in the West San Fernando Valley.
Of those eight, one—Phil Jennerjahn, who in the last three years has run unsuccessfully for Los Angeles City Council, United States Congress and Los Angeles City mayor—appears to have decided that the 28th District is a better fit for him. At least there he'll only be facing one Jewish incumbent Democratic congressman, Rep. Adam Schiff—along with half a dozen (or more) other candidates.
But this blog is about the West Valley, so over the coming weeks, we'll run down the list of the candidates whose names could appear on the ballot in June's primary alongside the better known Berman and Sherman.

As advertised, foreign policy matters dominated at Tuesday night's Jewish Journal-sponsored debate between candidates running for congress in the 30th district.
Rep. Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks), and Republican Mark Reed faced off in a 90-minute debate that covered the Iranian nuclear threat, what role the United States should play in bringing about peace between Israelis and Palestinians and whether to arm the rebels battling against government forces in Syria. The candidates also covered domestic policy issues.
It was a packed house at Temple Judea in Tarzana—800 people came, by the organizers' count—and the two Jewish incumbent Democratic congressmen further upped the temperature in this hotly contested race.
Among the things we learned at Tuesday night's "Tussle in the Temple" (h/t L.A. Weekly) were:
—Sherman, while still a co-sponsor of the Stop Online Piracy Act, thinks it was poorly written. Berman, who was one of the bill's earliest co-sponsors, stood firm in his support of it, despite the outcry from internet companies and users last month that effectively killed the bill.
—Berman still won't sign Sherman's pledge to eliminate Super PACs from their race, calling it "a gimmick." Berman also noted that Sherman's first negative ad—a flyer that attempted to tie Berman to the 2009 San Bruno gas line explosion using a donation from the company involved in the disaster (PG & E) to a Super PAC backing Berman (Rebuilding America) as the link from one to the other—had backfired. On February 21, Senator Barbara Boxer cited that flyer when she jumped in to support Berman over Sherman.

—Sherman would advocate moving the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. (One has to guess that Berman would support such a position as well—he voted in favor a bill that would have moved the embassy to Jerusalem in 1995—but since the moving of embassies is a Presidential prerogative, it's not clear how much a congressman's position on the issue actually matters.)
—Berman, objecting to what he called Sherman's distortions of his record, turned his opponent's name into a critique of its own: "For him to invert the truth is … Brad!"
—Reed, who dismissed both Berman and Sherman as "party hacks," and said that he would support Israel's going after Iranian nuclear facilities only if the United States won't do it first, hasn't been to Israel (yet).
Many political leaders turned out Tuesday night, including Rep. Henry Waxman, who is supporting Berman in this race and told KPCC that he's "angry that two Democrats are running against each other, spending millions of dollars, when we could have used that money to elect other Democrats."
Susan Shelley, a Republican candidate running in the 30th district who filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against the Jewish Journal's parent company after not being invited to participate in Tuesday night's debate, was also present. According to the L.A. Times, she gave out "goodie bags."

This entry takes a closer look at a bill mentioned near the end of the run-down of the race in the 30th district that appears in the newest issue of the Jewish Journal.
When Rep. Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys) introduced a bill that would allow certain Israeli entrepreneurs to apply for a type of investor visa currently unavailable to them, he cited two reasons to support the bill: Strengthening the Israeli-American relationship and adding jobs to the American economy.
"Israel is one of our closest allies in the world and a significant investor in the U.S. economy," Berman said in a statement on Feb. 9, the day he introduced H.R. 3992. "The E-2 investor visa program will strengthen the vital U.S.-Israel relationship, boost the American middle class, and help grow the economies of both countries."
Sounds great, right? I mean, a lot of people—powerful people—have been saying this lately, that the United States needs to work harder to attract foreign entrepreneurs as a way to improve the economy. Even President Obama made promoting immigration for high-skilled foreigners a major feature of this year's State of the Union Address.
"It's now a global competition for talent and America should be doing everything possible to attract immigrant entrepreneurs who want to invest in America and create new jobs," said John Feinblatt, who runs the Partnership for a New American Economy. That organization was started by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and media mogul Rupert Murdoch to advocate for policies that promote "high-skilled immigration reform."
And Berman's bill does this—sort of—but only in a very limited way, and it does so by proposing to extend to Israelis a visa whose problems are already well known to both immigration attorneys and the entrepreneurs themselves.
The E-2 investor visa, which is today available to investors from more than 70 other countries—including Britain, Montenegro and Iran, JTA reported—is a nonimmigrant visa that allows investors who bring substantial amount of money from their home country to start businesses in the U.S., to live in the U.S. for a short period of time while developing those businesses.
But it's only available to investors who bring money to the United States from their home country. (Nobody says exactly how much money one needs, but it's at least $50,000 according to Haaretz's report on the bill.) So Amit Aharoni, an Israeli-born entrepreneur who graduated from Stanford Business School and started a web-based business that employs nine Americans in San Francisco, wouldn't be eligible.
Aharoni established CruiseWise, a web-based startup that helps consumers choose and buy cruise vacations. He had raised $1.65 million in startup cash—$1 million of it was from outside the United States, but not from Israel—when he was denied a different type of visa in October 2011, an H1-B visa.
Aharoni's story was featured on ABC News, at which point his visa was quickly approved. But the experience led the 32-year-old to conclude that there are some unnecessary hurdles that stand in the way of entrepreneurs looking to start businesses in the United States.
"There's no good visa to support entrepreneurs," Aharoni told me. "H1B is really a 'Specialty Occupation' visa."
Another problem with the E-2 visa is that it has to be renewed frequently—every two years, in the case of Berman's bill for Israeli entrepreneurs, according to a member of the Congressman's staff. And the visa offers no path to citizenship for those who start businesses here.
"The E-2 visa is, in the long term, not going to solve the interests of promoting foreign entrepreneurs—coming here risking everything and setting down roots," said Deborah Notkin, an immigration lawyer in New York. "We really need a entrepreneurship visa that gives those who are successful a pathway to permanent residence, along with their families."
Zoe Adams of Lakeland, Fla., is one such entrepreneur. She arrived, with her husband and two children, from Britain, in September 2003 on an E-2 visa. They started a pool servicing business that today employs four people.
But being on an E-2 visa, Adams can't plan for the future in any sustained way. "You can only work in increments of five years," Adams said, adding that her husband was about to go back to England, hoping to get his visa renewed. "We can't really plan anything at the moment until we definitely know that we're okay for another five years."
That uncertainty—together with the worry that her daughter, now a college student in Florida on her own student visa, might eventually be forced to leave the United States—led Adams to start E2VisaReform.org.
Adams, together with a few other entrepreneurial foreigners living in the U.S. on E-2 visas, has been pushing for changes to the E-2 visa. And though her business is small, she says that some of those in her coalition—she's got email addresses for about 500 people—are much larger.
"We clean 250 pools a week," Adams said. "My husband's a licensed state contractor. We're the epitome of a small business."
"For every person like me," Adams said, "there's somebody else who has 25, or 50 employees, or more than 100."
Nevertheless, Berman's bill was welcomed by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren welcomed. In a written statement, Oren appeared to say that the bill—and a companion bill introduced last year in the Senate—was the product of joint work by Israeli diplomats and American lawmakers.
"In working with the Embassy of Israel's Office of Congressional Affairs and its Economic Mission," Oren said in the statement, "and with the introduction of this legislation, the U.S. Congress advances shared political and economic interests that will enable the business communities in both countries to expand bilateral investments."
If the E-2 is so fraught with problems, why are Berman and other lawmakers trying push this bill forward? And why would the Israeli embassy be so enthusiastic about it?
Perhaps because, in the political gridlock of Washington, D.C., it's a limited, unobjectionable solution.
"It's a tiny little fix and there's not a lot to make one oppose it," said Notkin, the immigration lawyer. "A bigger fix…might meet with some resistance."

Last year, with political observers predicting the race between incumbent Democratic Congressmen Howard Berman (Van Nuys) and Brad Sherman (Sherman Oaks) could end up costing upwards of $10 million, the news that three separate Super PACs had been established to support one candidate — Berman — attracted a lot of attention.
While independent expenditure committees, as Super PACs are officially known, have had an outsized impact on Republican presidential primaries so far, it's still unclear what impact, if any, they will have on the hotly contested race in California's 30th Congressional District.
Indeed, over the last three months of 2011, while Berman's campaign raked in more than $1 million in donations and Sherman raised $126,000, the pro-Berman Super PACs brought in a combined $21,000. And the Valley-Israel Alliance, the first of the Super PACs to be established, officially ended its fundraising efforts at the end of January.
"Congressman Berman made it clear that that he was not comfortable with the whole concept of Super PACs," said Brendan Huffman, the founder of the now-terminated Super PAC. "And so, respecting his concerns, it made sense to close it and try to help in other ways."
Huffman is a public policy consultant who has worked for several Los Angeles-area Jewish officeholders. According to filings obtained from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the outside group did not receive any monetary contributions in the months it was up and running.
"I don't know why you needed three Super PACs anyway," said Parke Skelton, Sherman's campaign manager, dismissing the disappearance of one such committee as insignificant.
Rebuilding America, a Super PAC run by State Sen. Alex Padilla, raised $20,000 in the last quarter of 2011, including a $10,000 donation from Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E). That corporation does not service any part of the San Fernando Valley, where the 30th District is located but could have business facing the California State Senate Standing Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications, which is chaired by Padilla.
Berman has said he has not asked any of his contributors to donate to the outside groups. Nevertheless, Sherman has publicly asked Berman to sign a pledge designed to eliminate the influence of Super PACs from the race, which Berman has until now declined to do, a fact that Sherman often uses in attacks on his opponent.
"Let the grassroots speak to the voters," Sherman said near the end of his two-minute speech to the delegates at the California Democratic Party's endorsing caucus on Feb. 11 in San Diego, which was recorded by John Myers of KQED. "Otherwise, they're only going to hear from the Super PACs."
Sherman's claims aside, with the pro-Berman Super PACs raising little money and spending less, it's not clear what impact — if any — the outside groups will have.
"This is an unusual race in that it pits two similar candidates from the same party against one another," said Richard Hasen, a professor at the UC Irvine School of Law, who blogs at electionlawblog.org. "It could well be that the lack of a partisan angle will mean less money will come in. But I don't think we know yet."
That difficulty of drawing major distinctions between Berman's and Sherman's records could help explain why, at the state party convention, delegates did not award the Democratic Party's endorsement to either one.
Even without spending by pro-Berman Super PACs, both contenders have big war chests. In year-end reports to the FEC, the Berman campaign reported $2.85 million in cash on hand. Sherman's campaign reported having $3.7 million to spend on the race.
As many journalists watching this race have observed, the two incumbents practice very different styles of political representation, and recent news would appear to reinforce those reputations.
Sherman, who is known for holding frequent town hall meetings in his district to engage with voters, is scheduled to hold two such meetings on successive Sundays, including one focused on developments in the Middle East.
Berman, meanwhile, is the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and has a reputation as the go-to guy to get legislation passed in Congress, especially on matters of foreign policy. On Feb. 9, he introduced a bill designed to extend a form of temporary visa to work in the United States — the E-2 visa, which is currently available to citizens from more than 70 countries but not Israel — to
Israeli entrepreneurs investing in businesses in the United States.
Berman's bill was introduced with the co-sponsorship of two Republican representatives, including Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas, who chairs the House Committee on the Judiciary, to which the bill has since been referred. With a companion bill already introduced in the Senate — with a similarly bipartisan group of sponsors — Berman's bill is believed to have a good chance at becoming law.

The California Democratic party isn't taking sides in the race between Reps. Howard Berman and Brad Sherman, the two incumbent Democrats facing off in the 30th Congressional District.
I wasn't at the state party convention in San Diego this weekend, but according to KQED's John Myers, the two congressmen "came out swinging" in their addresses to the party's endorsement caucus.
"Sherman accused Berman of being bought by big corporations," Myers wrote, "Berman called Sherman 'slightly pathetic.'"
And both campaigns are calling the non-endorsement a victory.
In a press release sent out on Saturday evening, within hours of the vote, Berman called the outcome "just and appropriate." The Sherman campaign sent out no formal press release, but in an email, campaign manager Parke Skelton reported what the Berman campaign's email left out—the exact tally of the votes.
According to Skelton, 55 percent of the delegates who cast ballots voted for Sherman while 39 percent voted for Berman. According to Myers, a preliminary count was 69 votes for Sherman and 52 for Berman. Either way, the result kept Sherman below the 60 percent threshold that he would have needed to secure the party's nomination.
"This race will now be decided on the merits of our candidacies," Berman said in the statement, "and I'm confident that my record of effectiveness will earn the support of the voters of the 30th Congressional District."
Skelton pointed to the result as evidence of Sherman's base of support.
"We're very happy with our strong showing which demonstrates, once again, that Brad has the overwhelming support of grassroots Democrats in the Valley," he wrote.

On February 21, at 7:30 pm, Rep. Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) and Republican Mark Reed, who are all seeking to be the next representative in the new 30th congressional district in the San Fernando Valley, will meet at Temple Judea in Tarzana for a candidates' debate.
Three panelists from the Jewish Journal—Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Rob Eshman, Staff Writer Jonah Lowenfeld, creator and author of the Berman v. Sherman blog, and Jewish Journal Columnist Bill Boyarsky—will be asking the candidates questions about foreign and domestic policy, as well as other issues of interest to local voters.
This is the second public debate between candidates from the 30th congressional district, whose primary election is in June. There are at least three reasons why we think it's important to hold such a debate—and important for voters in the 30th district to attend.
As readers of the Berman v. Sherman blog well know, this race has pitted two Jewish incumbent congressmen, who are seen as reliable pro-Israel voices in congress, against one another. But in trying to win over voters in the 30th district, all candidates will be addressing issues of importance to the Jewish community—which is why the panelists will ask questions about Iran, Israel and local matters.
It's what we do. At the first debate, organized by a nonprofit community group, moderators asked candidates broad, open-ended questions. We'll be doing some of that, sure, but we'll also take advantage of the questions that have already been answered to dig a bit deeper into the records and positions of these candidates.
In the Feb. 13 issue of The New Yorker, Hendrik Hertzberg made the case that in the race for President, voters need more, not fewer candidate debates. In a media landscape more dominated by partisan news outlets than ever, and with the rise of Super PACs that candidates on both sides of the political spectrum profess to dislike even as they embrace their assistance (which usually comes in the form of negative campaign ads), debates, Hertzberg writes, "are of inestimable value."
[Debates] enable voters to see and hear the candidates in a sustained manner, outside the protective cocoons of their handlers, packagers, stage managers, consultants, PACs, and Super PACs. They oblige the candidates to speak for themselves. As [organizer of the Commission on Presidential Debates Newt] Minow has written, "The debates are the only time during presidential campaigns when the major candidates appear together side by side under conditions that they do not control."
It's all but certain that many millions of dollars will be spent in the race for the 30th district. That money will buy a whole lot of pre-packaged communication from the campaigns—much of which will probably end up in the mailboxes of voters. Debates allow voters to see for themselves what the candidates are like in person, in a situation that's about a close to real-life as you can get on the campaign trail.
These are just three reasons we think that it's important for voters in the 30th district—and engaged Jews across Los Angeles—to pay attention to debates like the one we're holding.
If you can make it to Temple Judea on February 21, please come. Admission and parking are free.
And though we won't be taking questions from the audience on debate night, we do see this as a chance for the community—broadly defined—to learn more about these candidates before deciding who to support. We've been soliciting questions from Jewish groups and other groups from across the community and across the political spectrum, and we'd also be interested in hearing what questions you want answered, too.
Email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include the words "Debate Question" in the subject line.

Basso closes on Madeira Rally win
Basso closes on Madeira Rally win
August 01 2009
Giandomenico Basso's third victory on the Rally Madeira is within his grasp, halfway through the final day's action on round seven of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
The Italian has claimed two stage wins today in his works Abarth Grande Punto, bringing his event total to 10, and is holding rapid Portuguese challenger Bruno Magalhaes at bay in his Peugeot 207.
The first two stages were claimed by Basso's team-mate Luca Rossetti, who is standing in while regular driver Anton Alen joins the World Rally Championship action in Finland alongside Kimi Raikkonen. Unfortunately for Rossetti his impressive performance came to an abrupt halt on SS16, the third of the day, when he crashed out.
Rossetti's demise means that Peugeot fills eight of the top ten positions at the midday service, bookended by Basso in front and 10th-place Marco Cavigioli in his privately-entered Grande Punto.
Defending Portuguese champion Alex Camacho lies third ahead of defending IRC champion Nicolas Vouilloz and the battle for fifth place between IRC title protagonists Kris Meeke and Freddy Loix, while Guy Wilks holds 11th place in the Proton Satria Neo.
Wilks was encouraged by the development of the Proton and a positive pre-event test coming in to Madeira, the all-new car's third international outing, but admitted from the outset that his fifth-placed finish in Russia would be hard to repeat this weekend due to the huge numbers of highly-developed Peugeots and Abarths in the field.
If the positions remain as they are Basso will have fired himself into contention for the championship with four rounds remaining, while Vouilloz's hopes of retaining the IRC crown appear to be ebbing away. Meeke's fifth place would put another vital point between himself and Loix, with second-place man Jan Kopecky sitting out the Madeiran asphalt event while the works Skoda team focuses on an all-out assault for its home event, the Barum Rally Zlin, at the end of this month.

South Carolina Football: No Alabama or LSU Game Could Mean Title for Gamecocks
For all of the great teams in the SEC, South Carolina only has to play three teams that are currently ranked: Mississippi State, Arkansas and Florida and the Bulldogs and Hogs are both from the SEC West.
If the Gamecocks can get a win in either of those games and win the games they should for the rest of the season, South Carolina could easily make a return trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game.
There may not be a ceiling for this team led by the offensive trio of Stephen Garcia, Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffrey and a talented defense with Devin Taylor, Stephon Gilmore and Jadeveon Clowney.
Winning on the road in the SEC is always challenging and there are a bunch of teams in the East that could surprise. Florida impressed in its opening game and Georgia showed signs of brilliance in their loss to Boise State. Even Tennessee looks like it could start to turn things around this season.
But the clear favorite in the division based on their schedule and talent has to be South Carolina.
