Wind farms kill 67 eagles in 5 yearsBy DINA CAPPIELLO
The Associated Press | September 12,2013WASHINGTON Wind energy facilities have killed at least 67 golden and bald eagles in the last five years, but the figure could be much higher, according to a new scientific study by government biologists.
The research represents one of the first tallies of eagle deaths attributed to the nations growing wind energy industry, which has been a pillar of President Barack Obamas plans to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming. Wind power releases no air pollution.
But at a minimum, the scientists wrote, wind farms in 10 states have killed at least 85 eagles since 1997, with most deaths occurring between 2008 and 2012, as the industry was greatly expanding. Most deaths 79 were golden eagles that struck wind turbines. One of the eagles counted in the study was electrocuted by a power line.
The vice president of the American Bird Conservancy, Mike Parr, said the tally was an alarming and concerning finding.
A trade group, the American Wind Energy Association, said in a statement that the figure was much lower than other causes of eagle deaths. The group said it was working with the government and conservation groups to find ways to reduce eagle casualties.
Still, the scientists said their figure is likely to be substantially underestimated, since companies report eagle deaths voluntarily and only a fraction of those included in their total were discovered during searches for dead birds by wind-energy companies.
The study also excluded the deadliest place in the country for eagles, a cluster of wind farms in a northern California area known as Altamont Pass. Wind farms built there decades ago kill more than 60 per year.
The research affirms an AP investigation in May, which revealed dozens of eagle deaths from wind energy facilities and described how the Obama administration was failing to fine or prosecute wind energy companies, even though each death is a violation of federal law.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which employs the six researchers, has said it is investigating 18 bird-death cases involving wind-power facilities, and seven have been referred to the Justice Department. The authors noted the studys findings do not necessarily reflect the views of the agency, although some of their data was obtained from staff.
Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jets wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornado-like vortexes.
Wind farms in two states, California and Wyoming, were responsible for 58 deaths, followed by facilities in Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Utah, Texas, Maryland and Iowa.
In all, 32 facilities were implicated. One in Wyoming was responsible for a dozen golden eagle deaths, the most at a single facility.

MAS announces new head of supply chain development to boost English manufacturers
Published by Russ Cockburn for Danks Cockburn Public Relations Ltd in Central Government and also in Bill Payments, Local Government
Phil Jones, MAS
The Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) has reinforced its commitment to helping English manufacturers increase efficiency and growth, with the appointment of Phil Jones as Head of Supply Chain Development.
The Six Sigma Master Black Belt will be focused on looking for supply chain opportunities that will help both SMEs and large enterprises develop their businesses. He will work across all sectors but with a particular focus on targeting advanced manufacturers with high growth potential, helping them create a sustainable supply chain.
Prior to joining MAS, Phil spent three years at Vestas Wind Systems, the world's largest producer of wind turbines, where he built and ran its aftermarket supply chain. Before this, he spent 16 years in the aerospace sector at General Electric and Honeywell Aerospace and also boasts a degree in Mechanical & Production Engineering.
He said: "The opportunity to join MAS and work closely with UK manufacturers is an exciting challenge. We have a breadth of resources and capabilities to support companies and I want to help ensure that these are utilised throughout the supply chain and in line with industry's needs."
Phil believes manufacturers could benefit from focusing on processes as well as products:
"A lot of companies dedicate time to refining or developing products and less time is spent on service opportunities or operational efficiency. The results from our first national Barometer reinforce this with product price (85 per cent) and product ranges (77 per cent) the most popular choices when it came to identifying what respondents plan to measure and review over the next six months.
"Manufacturers could benefit greatly from implementing process improvements that would ultimately filter through the supply chain to increase customer satisfaction, retention and growth."
Simon Howes, MAS Area Director for South England, commented: "Phil's extensive background throughout the value chain from sales and operations to continuous improvement will help manufacturers connect with the best support available from MAS. We are very pleased to welcome him to the team."

Get ready for the Brooklyn Nets! |
As Brooklyn Nets fans are well aware, the 2013 roster looks very little like its 2012 counterpart. In June of this year the Nets and Boston Celtics agreed to a blockbuster trade, sending Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks, and Keith Bogans to Boston for All-Stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Nets also signed Alan Anderson, Shaun Livingston, Andrei Kirilenko, and Mason Plumlee to their roster to create more potential in their backcourt. Nets Owner Mikhail Prokhorov is ready to go all-in and challenge the Miami Heat for an NBA title. With the return of Deron Williams and the new additions mentioned above, the Nets should be a formidable foe in the Atlantic Division. Issues may arise however with the Nets operating at a $102 Million Salary Cap, as their luxury tax could reach historic levels. The Barclays Center is going to be rockin' this winter, so get your Nets tickets today and watch all the action live! The Brooklyn Nets transformation from the perennial cellar-dwellers of the Eastern Conference over the last few seasons as the New Jersey Nets is now complete. Armed with a new black-and-white shield featuring a "B" for Brooklyn and a new $1 Billion stadium complete with a herring-bone patterned home floor, and some of the NBA's most battle-hardened veterans, this Brooklyn Nets team are aiming to challenge the Miami Heat for an NBA Title. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire, showed he's not afraid to throw around some money in pursuit of top players, securing the re-signing of PG Deron Williams in the off-season as well as the addition of Joe Johnson from the Atlanta Hawks. Billy King was able to secure Garnett and Pierce from the Celtics, and they are eager to prove they have plenty left in the tank. The Nets are armed and ready to have a big opening season in the borough of Brooklyn, so get your tickets before its too late. Brooklyn Nets tickets are highly sought after in New York, especially for the opening showdown between the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks at the Barclays Center and a later meeting at Madison Square Garden, so get your Nets tickets today! Jason Kidd as Head CoachThe Brooklyn Nets had a rough coaching year last season that they will be hoping to straighten out in the upcoming season. The Nets original head coach, Avery Johnson, had a strong start going 11-4 in the month of November. After going 3-10 in December, Johnson was fired and replaced with assistant coach P.J Carlesimo. After a mediocre season which led to a first round exit in the NBA playoffs, Carlesimo announced that he would be leaving the Nets. On June 12, 2013 the Nets hired former NBA player and Nets star Jason Kidd as their new Head Coach. As a player, Kidd led the Nets to the 2002 and 2003 NBA Finals appearances. Heading into the season, there are high hopes for a better start to next season, but concerns still surround Jason Kidd, mostly centered around his one week transition from NBA player to coach. One thing that can make a huge difference is the noise level at the Barclays Center so get your tickets today and see all the action live! There are a lot of questions regarding how Jason Kidd will perform as a head coach, but Kidd has proven he is a fierce competitor. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov is expecting this team to fight for an Eastern Conference Championship, and New York City is waiting to see how this Nets team plays on the biggest stage and brightest lights in the United States. Deron Williams is among the best point guards in the NBA, and with some talented veterans around them the Nets are going to be dangerous. Shooting Guard Joe Johnson is another solid player, giving the Nets a second scorer, someone who can take pressure off D Will and create his own shot. Finally, in a move that has went widely under-the-radar, last season the Nets also secured one of the best players in Europe, the 6-9 Mirza Teletovic. The 27-year-old Teletovic led the Euro League in scoring and was the pride of Bosnia. Signed by Spain's Caja Laboral through 2014, the Nets managed to quietly pry the Drazen Petrovic cousin from Spain and bring him to Brooklyn. If you don't know who Mirza Teletovic is, you better get familiar with that name. And if you don't have Brooklyn Nets tickets yet, check out our vast selection of Brooklyn Nets tickets and be in the crowd at the Barclays Center cheering the Nets on in 2012-2013. The Brooklyn Nets have undergone a number of name changes in recent memory, and is the former franchise from which the New York and New Jersey Nets were framed upon. Their owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, purchased the team in 2010 and has been looking for marketing expansion opportunities into new markets, including Europe and Asia. The team moved to Brooklyn in 2012 to the Barclays Center, where they are scheduled to call home for the foreseeable future. Brooklyn Nets info:
Go back to NBA tickets. Other New York sports teamsThe Brooklyn Nets are always a big draw in New York, but they have some competition from other sports vying for the adoration of sports fans. Baseball is huge in the City, and with that in mind New York Yankees tickets and New York Mets tickets are always huge sellers. In recent years New York Giants tickets have gotten really popular, as Eli Manning and Co. have been able to stay atop the NFL. Then there are a ton of football fans that go for the other team, and snatch up New York Jets tickets like its their job!. Hockey has also gotten really big in recent years, so NY Rangers tickets are big sellers as well. Sports in New York are bigger than big, they are huge, and sports fans have some great sports teams to choose from. |

Lance Armstrong is fighting to not only keep his seven Tour de France titles, but also maintain his reputation as one of sport's most remarkable athletes.
The American lost his latest legal bid to halt the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's case against him, which has come more than a year after his retirement from cycling and subsequent move to triathlon competitions.
The 40-year-old, who fought back from testicular cancer to win cycling's biggest race from 1999 to 2005, has described himself as the "most tested athlete in the world" and long denied any involvement with illegal doping.
"Lance has passed nearly 500 tests over 20 years of competition," declared spokesman Mark Fabiani in response to allegations from disgraced former teammate Tyler Hamilton -- who has admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his career.
However, the former chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, Dick Pound, has long argued that Armstrong was involved in the dark art of doping.
"Look all around him and everyone else is doing it, so what should you think?" Pound told the New York Times.
After months of legal arguments, the two parties are now left with no option other than solving the dispute between themselves. So where did the charges come from, and how did the two sides develop such a bitter relationship?
What are the charges?
In June 2012, the USADA charged Armstrong with doping and trafficking of performance enhancing drugs.
Along with the cyclist, several members of Armstrong's former team were charged. These included Luis Garcia del Moral and Michele Ferrari, both team doctors, trainer Jose "Pepe" Marti, team physician Pedro Celaya and Johan Bruyneel, director of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) team.
"Armstrong is facing some pretty serious charges from USADA," explains Peter Flax, editor of Bicycling Magazine.
"He's been accused of the use of of prohibited performance-enhancing drugs and methods, as well as being involved in the possession, trafficking, and concealment of these activities. The list of drugs and doping methods is pretty much the kitchen sink of what was possible in the era in which Armstrong rode."
It is believed the charges stem from a federal investigation by Food and Drug Administration special agent Jeff Novitzky. His investigation didn't result in any charges, but Novitzky -- who led the fight against the Balco Laboratory and doping in Major League Baseball -- is understood to have helped with the USADA case.
What is the USADA?
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is the body responsible for monitoring in and out of competition drug testing for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports.
It is responsible for enforcing the World Anti-Doping Agency code, and its bans apply around the world.
"USADA's job is to protect clean sport rather than enforce specific criminal laws," its chief Travis T. Tygart said at the time of the federal case's collapse.
"Our investigation into doping in the sport of cycling is continuing and we look forward to obtaining the information developed during the federal investigation."
What is the evidence?
The USADA alleges that Armstrong took steroids throughout his career, and says it has testimony from former teammates to support the charges. The organization has refused to reveal who has provided the evidence.
"A significant number of Armstrong's former teammates, in return for immunity or preferential treatment from USADA, have testified about doping activities that they participated in or witnessed," Flax told CNN.
"Some of them, like Floyd Landis, are people who have made public accusations in the past, but others -- most notably George Hincapie, Armstrong's most loyal lieutenant during all seven of his Tour de France victories -- have never offered testimony about doping on that team."
Landis, a rider with the USPS team from 2002 to 2004, has publicly claimed that he saw Armstrong using blood transfusions to increase the level of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in his system, as well as taking the blood-boosting drug EPO.
In 2006, Landis became the first person other than Armstrong to win the Tour, but was stripped of the title for failing a drugs test. The disgraced cyclist has even gone as far as accusing Armstrong and Bruyneel of paying the International Cycling Union (UCI) to cover up a positive test in 2002.
Armstrong dismissed the charges, and accused his former colleague of threatening riders with drug allegations.

In Montreal's Streets, the Movement Continues by Ethan Cox rabble.ca August 24, 2012 http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/ethan-cox/2012/08/maple-spring-continues If there was any confusion over whether the suspension of strikes at most schools signalled an end to the broader social movement the strike generated, it was put to bed with an emphatic bang Wednesday in the streets of Montreal. The largest demonstration since the spring sent a strong message that this movement is here to stay. Place du Canada was packed by the time the speakers took to the roof of a truck to address the assembled crowd. CLASSE Financial Secretary Jérémie Bédard-Wien kicked things off with a characteristically strong speech, in which he made a noteworthy reference to this demonstration being the largest electoral mobilization in Quebec history. Coupled with the abundant placards reading "I'm voting for ____", which invited protesters to fill in the issue or party of their choice, there seemed to be a clear acknowledgement from CLASSE that while the election will not solve our problems, it would be folly for students to boycott it. After representatives of the nurses union and the Quebec Women's Federation, it was the turn of CLASSE co- spokesperson Jeanne Reynolds. Following the resignation of the intensely charismatic Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, Reynolds and her fellow remaining co- spokesperson Camille Robert are under heavy pressure to live up to his legacy of fiery, passionate speeches and dynamic leadership within a leaderless movement. Reynolds did not disappoint, delivering the best speech I've ever seen her give, her voice trembling with passion as she proclaimed that the movement will continue before, during and after the election. As she closed to a raucous ovation the march set off, leaving the square shortly after 3 PM. Close to the exit point, it still took around twenty minutes to get out of the square, as people were packed in like sardines while we ever so slowly filed out. There has been much debate, as there always is, about the size of the crowd at the demonstration. Quebecor owned TVA initially estimated 2000 people, before grudgingly bumping that up to 5000. Radio-Canada hired an independent firm to estimate the crowd, and they produced a number of 12,500, which sounds great until you find out that they estimated at 2:35, half an hour before the march left. This is significant because most people, aware the marches always leave an hour after they are called, arrive after 3 PM, and many others join along the route. Most journalists on twitter were conservatively estimating around 25,000, with gusts up to 50,000, while CUTV estimated 80,000 and CLASSE's official estimate was 100,000. In my opinion, the crowd was over 100,000. I base that estimate on two observations. As we passed St. Catherine on University I stopped to watch the crowd pass by. I was there for about fifteen minutes, but spoke to a father who had stopped with his kid. He said he hadn't been near the front when he stopped, but had been watching the demo pass for forty minutes. I also noticed from that stop that the crowd was extraordinarily tightly packed, much more so than at any other demo I've attended. I later spoke to a friend who had arrived at Place du Canada shortly before 4, and found the tail end of the march still streaming out of the park. A tightly packed crowd which takes between forty-five minutes and an hour to pass a given point, and stretches like a giant snake around most of downtown, is to me clearly in excess of 100,000. Regardless of the precise number, it was an overwhelmingly large crowd which occupied much of the downtown core for several hours and sent a crystal clear message to politicians and voters alike. The movement is very much alive, and prepared to continue the fight for a better society. The other interesting fact to note about the 'mega-manif,' as people have taken to calling the massive demos which occur on the 22nd of each month, was the presence of political parties. The Liberals and CAQ obviously went unrepresented, and signs for those parties along the route most often ended up underfoot. I saw a handful of PQ and Option Nationale signs in the crowd, but they were few and far between. Quebec Solidaire on the other hand enjoyed a large contingent with several banners and dozens of signs, but more impressive still was the heavy concentration of QS signs throughout the crowd. It was hard to take a picture without getting a QS sign in the frame, and it seems clear that the movement is starting to coalesce around QS. This should be no surprise, given that QS is arguably the only political party in the country which can legitimately claim to be a movement party. Their slogan, "a party of the ballot box, and of the street" represents the background of the party as a child of social movements, and fits nicely with the movement's feeling that no election will bring about the real change they seek. It will be interesting to see how this show of strength for the movement influences an election campaign which has largely ignored the student issue so far, and whether students and allies will be able to throw off their counter- productive anti-electoral urges and come to the ballot box in large enough numbers to help QS win more than the three to five seats they are optimistically projected to pick up at this point. But regardless of how members of the movement vote, the most significant impact of this demo was to send a clear message to all Quebeckers that no matter who wins the election, the issues raised over the course of the strike will continue to be pushed, and the students remain ready to return to the barricades at a moment's notice. === *Please also take a look at my colleague Roger Annis's excellent article on Wednesday's demonstration. http://rabble.ca/news/2012/08/tens-thousands-march-social- justice-montreal [rabble's Special Correspondent on the Quebec student strike, Ethan Cox is a 28 year-old organizer, comms guy and writer from Montreal.

Education united
Education united within the united states . States, there's numerous grants or loans or financial loans available to women for educational reasons. This can cover expenses related right to education for instance tuition costs and accommodation, or may help raise funds for side-expenses like food and clothing. Everyone sector provides many options to women for educational reasons. Most likely probably the most broadly known chance might be the disposable grants or loans or financial loans supplied by the federal government from the united states . States. However, the options aren't restricted to this. Municipality government bodies also initiate programs that really help women utilizing their expenses. You'll have the ability to search for a grant you like since the options are extremely varied. Aside from the financial aid provided by the us government, you'll find two other sources that ladies can seek help. One of these simple might be the trust, charitable groups and basic principles founded especially to help women, or people who've special programs for girls alongside grants or loans or financial loans available to a wider part of the society.
Good quality good examples will be the Educational Foundation for girls in Accounting, the HORIZONS Foundation Scholarship Program, the Jeannette Rankin Foundation Women's Education Fund as well as the Association for girls In Science Scholarship grants or loans and Fellowships. Since the names in the basic principles suggest too, most grants or loans or financial loans are available to women studying particularly fields. While thinking about posting a charge card applicatoin with a foundation, ladies have to keep in mind that area or regions of read the grant is provided. Another significant remark to women is that they should see if the grant is provided to many of us people only, or whether worldwide students ready to study in or presently studying in the usa may also be qualified for your grant. Some physiques that provide grants or loans or financial loans are often quite strict by themselves recommendations regarding qualifications criteria, therefore this remark needs to be paid out special focus on 't be disappointed after using for just about any grant. Both of these remarks are valid for your second way to obtain grants or loans or financial loans for girls: Private companies which support women financially. Most likely probably the most well-known of individuals companies is Google, having its Google Anita Borg Scholarship grants or loans. Aside from the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund, in colaboration using the Planet Bank is encouraging of girls. The quantity of private businesses that have particular grant programs for girls keeps growing almost daily, which means you should look around carefully not to miss out grants or loans or financial loans.
It must be noted that to become qualified for any grants or loans or financial loans, a effective academic record can be a valuable resource. No enterprise or foundation might be prepared to buy a blurred future. Therefore, within your programs, you have to make certain they know you've set your own personal purpose which you are likely to do your better to attain them, furthermore to setting up your financial needs.

As governments are being overturned by massive protests across the Arab world, another kind of movement is being shaped elsewhere—by members of the middle class. In India, frustrated by politicians who seem out of touch and arrogant and corrupt, they're taking to the streets and calling for economic reform. A well-respected 74-year-old political leader named Anna Hazare has been fasting for more than 11 days and has become the focal point of the campaign against pervasive government corruption. Meanwhile, in Brazil, the middle class has mobilized because "prices of meat and petrol have doubled, highway tolls have risen, and eating out or buying property have become prohibitively expensive".
Counterintuitively, the declining standard of living for some of the Brazilian middle class is a side-effect of the growing literacy and financial success of a population segment that used to be poor. The middle-class's cause may well deserve sympathy since their financial challenges are all too real, but it isn't exactly a question of social justice as we usually think of it. Their situation is a side effect of a greater equalization of opportunity, not from corruption or a declining economy.
Here in Israel there are protests too, of course, and not just the ones involving tents along city streets. Facebook says that 4,499 people are "attending" a week-long boycott of the Shufersal (also called SuperSol) Supermarkets starting tomorrow. It's called שבוע ללא שופרסל, A Week Without SuperSol. The argument is that SuperSol has a 37% market share and they set their prices a lot higher than those at other supermarkets. Those dry statistics are colored by recent accusations that SuperSol unfairly pressured its suppliers for preferential treatment over their competitors. Many consumers also resent the fact that SuperSol's profits enrich billionaire Nochi Dankner, whose IDB Holdings is the largest shareholder in SuperSol. The bottom line is that the protesters want lower prices.
Over the past month hundreds of thousands of protesters in Israel have rallied under the banner The People Seek Social Justice!, inspiring hopes that Israeli idealism has finally reawakened in the tent cities across the country. At the same time, Haaretz columnist Aviad Kissos waggishly wrote last week that he would glad support "the protest of the people whose therapists go on vacation at really bad times" and "the protest of the people whose friends are going to Greece next week while they have to stay here and work." Are the tent-city protesters selflessly seeking social change? Or are they looking for a conveniently located apartment at a lower rent? As in any popular movement, motives are mingled.
UPDATE: Anna Hazare has now ended his fast.

In Friday's English-language edition of Haaretz Op-Ed columnist Nehemia Shtrasler takes Amos Oz to task for his recollections of Israel's first thirty years. "I didn't know that Israel was once a paradise," he writes, and offers facts and figures to prove it:
* In order to work during those happy years, you had to have a red membership book from the Histadrut labor federation.And Oz's egalitarian society distributed beautiful apartments at half price only to "those who are close to us" while in the low-income neighborhoods people wallowed in terrible conditions.
* 250,000 people did not have health insurance because they did not pay dues to the Histadrut.
But Amos Oz is a novelist, not an economist. He was talking about values rather than statistics, about the consequences of shifting from a tightly knit, mutually supportive society to one that favors individual initiative. His book Scenes from Village Life, just out in the UK in English and due for publication in America in October, evokes those changes with extraordinary emotional power.
In one story a former Knesset member named Pesach Kedem at first seems bitter, but he is a romantic when he recalls the old days. (His name is an explicit reference to the liturgical phrase חדש ימנו כקדם–Chadesh yameinu k'kedem, "Renew our days as of old.") Reflecting on his past and his old enemies in internecine left-wing political battles, he tells his daughter, in Nicholas de Lange's superb translation, "We dreamed of improving ourselves, the whole world. We loved the hills and valleys. How did we get here? A long time ago some people liked each other a bit. Now all the hearts are dead."
Another story in the book makes a similar point through music. A group of villagers meets for a community sing-along and begin with pioneer tunes and songs from the Palmach and the War of Independence like "The Song of Friendship." By evening's end they are singing "Why did you lie to me, faraway lights," and "Can you hear my voice, distant one?" The sense of solidarity, friendship, and shared destiny has been replaced by a distancing individualism.
Shtrasler is of course right in saying that the standard of living in Israel is far better for most people now than it was thirty years ago, but he is wrong when he says Oz has made a "mistake." Amos Oz sees the improvements but mourns what has been lost in getting them. The great writer is less interested in material gains than in the price paid by the soul.

Five years ago the JCCs of North America, the umbrella organization for Jewish Community Centers, added a new component to its summertime athletic competition, the JCC Maccabi Games. Called ArtsFest, it provides a way for artistically talented teens to have shared experiences like the ones enjoyed by their sports-minded friends. This year the Games took place in Israel for the first time since their founding in 1982, and ArtsFest was more prominent than ever.
For its participants it was not only a chance to create and collaborate, it was a true encounter with Israel. ArtsFest seamlessly integrated Israeli themes, music, and cuisine into its workshops. The Artists-in-Residence—the teachers—were Israeli. And it all took place amid the beautiful landscape of the Upper Galilee region.
From the beginning ArtsFest has held to a very high standard. Participants are selected through competitive auditions, and they work with a cadre of top-notch teachers. Whether in rock bands or a cappella singing, dance or acting, photography or visual arts, cooking or journalism, they not only learn—they create something together. ArtsFest's closing ceremony Sunday night in Jerusalem showcased some of their work. Here's a short highlights video:
Remarkably, the ArtsFest kids weren't cast in the shadow of the more numerous athletes. All the teenagers ate their meals together, relaxed with one another between events, and were equally recognized for their achievements. In fact the central location for the participants in both the Games and ArtsFest, a high school in the north of Israel called Har v'Gay (Mountain and Valley), was chosen because it specializes in the arts. It's a reflection of the importance of the arts component in the Maccabi events.
Local Jewish Community Centers have played a big role in sustaining Jewish culture in the US and Canada for decades. Now, thanks to JCCs of North America and their commitment to ArtsFest, another generation is discovering how the arts can help them learn more about being Jewish, and about themselves.

The philosopher Bertrand Russell made a public appeal in 1966 for an International War Crimes Tribunal to conduct a trial of the United States for its actions in Vietnam. Russell, an antiwar protester since World War I, accused the U.S. and its allies of imperialism and violations of international law in his book War Crimes in Vietnam. Over the course of two sessions in 1967, one in Stockholm and the other in Roskilde, Denmark, the tribunal heard "testimony" from dozens of speakers and then found unanimously that the United States was guilty of genocide and aggression.
Now the Bertrand Russell Foundation is convening a new tribunal "to examine the violations of international law, of which the Palestinians are victims, and that prevent the Palestinian People from exercising its rights to a sovereign State." This November its jury will gather in Cape Town, symbolically meeting in a district of the city where the homes of blacks were demolished en masse in the 1970s. Alice Walker, a vocal supporter of the flotilla to Gaza, will be one of the jurors. The tribunal's self-appointed task is to judge "whether the policies and practises of the State of Israel fit the international legal descriptions of the crime of apartheid." The trial will conclude in New York in 2012.
The members of the tribunal's Support Committee include prominent journalists, political figures, artists, and of course activists. The names include the Guardian's Tariq Ali, former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, American novelist Russell Banks, South African novelist Breyten Breytenbach, gender theorist Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky (a veteran of the 1967 proceedings), filmmaker Costa Gavras, writer Naomi Klein, British film directors Mike Leigh and Ken Loach, and Israeli academic Ilan Pappe. These celebrities should help attract attention to what is little more than a staged media event.
It's doubtful that anything said at the tribunal will change anyone's mind. In fact, very little of what's said is likely to be new or surprising in any way. It is purely a symbolic event, like the flotilla. And like the flotilla it presents a dilemma to the media (though the flotilla actually has greater visual interest). Will they treat it as a bona fide news story that deserves coverage? Even if it's not news, will they feel they can't ignore it for fear of accusations of bias?
Friends of Israel may well wonder, is there any way to respond without legitimizing the proceedings? In the Forward today, Gal Beckerman writes about a related issue:
Stooping to meet the activists of the BDS movement at their level is the very definition of counterproductive. Rather than defuse this enemy, they elevate and inflate the threat by engaging it. What might a better strategy be for dealing with the BDS movement? How about just ignoring it.
Whether that's a realistic choice for dealing with the tribunal is the big question for November.

There's a scene in Joseph Cedar's new film, Footnote, that may bring a smile to Americans of a certain bent. At a ceremonial event for Israeli academics there's an emotional discussion in the lobby about Daniel Boyarin, the Berkeley-based scholar, and his ideas about gender in Jewish history. The reference may be a bit dated, since the film is set in 2010 and the book they're discussing, Unheroic Conduct, was published in 1997. But the scene captures both the passion and insularity of academic disagreements, which is one of the subjects of the film.
In this new work by the director of Beaufort, a father and son are professors of Talmud at the Hebrew University with different methods and very different careers. The father is a master of the details of philology while the son is a widely known lecturer who writes books with popular themes, and these differences are reflected in their personalities. The younger man, played by the now-veteran Israeli actor Lior Ashkenazi, is a sought-after public speaker and internationally recognized for his work. The elder professor has no talent for social interaction, is most at home in his subterranean office, and has become embittered because his son receives the kind of recognition he believes he deserves himself. Here's one trailer:
A clerical error with enormous consequences sets in motion a series of events that bring old resentments to the surface, not only between father and son but between each of them and the academic establishment. That premise might have devolved into a melodrama with simple heroes and villains. (The potted summaries of Cedar's movie describe it as if it were.) The film makes no such facile judgments, and instead shows what can happen when flawed people each hold to their firm beliefs in what is right. This story's power comes from its ambiguities and its recognition that good intentions do not guarantee good consequences.
This trailer looks at the film from the father's point of view:
Shlomo Bar-Aba, playing a man of few words, forcefully shows the father's inner disappointments and frustration through his posture and facial expressions. Ashkenazi convincingly depicts his character's unexpected complexity. The Shostakovich-like score by Amit Poznansky captures the sometimes sardonic, sometimes comic, and mostly sober character of the story. Cedar's script won this year's Screenplay Award at Cannes.
Footnote has not yet been released in the United States. Be on the lookout for it.

Last month a group of young professionals in Tel Aviv organized a watershed event at a historic synagogue that they have adopted as their own. With the donation of a Torah scroll from a celebrity member they began a new era in what they describe as not only a synagogue, but also a community center.
Ynet, the English-language website of Israel's best-selling Hebrew newspaper, has a video report on the community, which is made up of local and international Jews alike. Natan Bashevkin, a star of the Israeli version of the "Survivor" reality series and a member of the shul, vowed that if he was the show's winner he would give a sefer Torah to the synagogue. That scroll was dedicated in a gala celebration a month ago.
In the U.S., the independent minyanim movement has provided an outlet for well-educated Jews who care about Judaism and have empowered themselves to create new communities for meaningful prayer. They avoid sectarianism in favor of flexibility and openness. The Ynet video suggests similar impulses among these olim and native Israelis, with the difference that their outlet is in a traditional synagogue on Ben Yehuda Street near Ben Gurion Avenue. (Of course there are independent minyanim in Tel Aviv too.)
Given the aging of the membership at so many synagogues in America, maybe this model could work there too. Jay M. Shultz of the Tel Aviv group explains that "the older generation really handed us the keys; without them we wouldn't be here." Some American shuls might consider following their example.

Today's Jerusalem Post reports these observations by Knesset member Nachman Shai (Kadima), head of the legislature's Conversion Caucus:
"There are over 300,000 Israelis [mostly from the former Soviet Union] here who are Jewish in heart, in feeling and by their presence here, and we must take note of this. These immigrants are Israelis, but not Jews, and we need to find solutions to let them live here equally with others. They are entitled to die for the State of Israel, but not to be buried here," he said in reference to non-Jewish soldiers, who couldn't be buried in Jewish cemeteries.
"Children are born, and most of the aliya from the FSU is currently non-Jewish. We are facing the creation of another community here of Israelis who are neither Muslims nor Christians, but who aren't Jewish, either."
In terms of Israeli law, Jewishness is a religious identity. The only available way to recognize these immigrants' Jewish identity officially is through conversion, specifically Orthodox conversion. As MK Shai adds, "I don't just side with the Orthodox attitude. But I think we have a certain framework, and we need from within it to seek other mechanisms, other rabbis, who can spread the system all around the country, enabling more people to convert."
In America, without such a central framework, Jewish identity can be defined in a lot of ways, including what people do and how they think of themselves. Along those lines, the Jewish volunteer and service organization Repair the World issued a report last week on how young Jewish adults connect community service to being Jewish. Among its findings:
● Only a small portion of Jewish young adults, 10%, indicated that their primary volunteer commitment was organized by Jewish organizations.
● Only 18% said that they prefer to volunteer with Jewish organizations or synagogues over other non-profit organizations.
● The vast majority, 78%, said it doesn't matter if the organization with which they are engaged in service is Jewish or non-Jewish.
● Only 27% of respondents agreed that they consider their volunteer actions to be based on Jewish values and only 10% strongly endorsed this statement.
● Jewish young adults with the highest levels of Jewish religious involvement, including but not restricted to Orthodox young adults, are the most likely to engage in volunteering, to do so regularly, and to volunteer under Jewish auspices.
Volunteering apparently is not an effective way of reinforcing Jewish identity, since the great majority do not see it as based on Jewish values. Yet the Jews who are likeliest to volunteer are those who are involved with religion, suggesting that the strongest impulse to enact Jewish values comes from a religious framework.
Americans and Israelis might learn from each other about what it can mean to be Jewish.

Following the legalization of gay marriage in New York State, Maariv columnist Shmuel Rosner reflected yesterday on the prospects for such a thing in Israel. He refers (in Hebrew) to a seemingly obscure ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court two weeks ago that directed the Interior Ministry to recognize a proxy marriage considered valid in El Salvador. As Rosner sees it, this may open the door to the legal validity in Israel for thousands of marriages performed outside the authority of the Rabbinate. He thinks a secular coalition in the Knesset, bolstered by a shift in public opinion, could extend this to gay couples in a few years.
Today comes a report in Haaretz that suggests it may not be so easy. The non-Jewish partner in gay couple from Baltimore was denied immigrant rights despite their Canadian marriage. Some details:
The Law of Return stipulates: "A Jew's rights and an immigrant's rights ... are also imparted to the child, grandchild and partner of a Jew, except in the case of a Jew who willingly converted to another religion." Attorney Nicky Maor, director of the Legal Aid Center for Olim, says if the couple were a man and woman, there is no doubt they would both have received Israeli citizenship. "The only reason the Interior Ministry doesn't know how to handle it is that they're gay," Maor said. "The Law of Return says 'partner,' not husband and wife. There is no definition preventing recognition of same-sex partners."
Attorney Dan Yakir, of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, believes the High Court will grant Alvarez citizenship if asked to rule on the issue. "It's a question the courts haven't dealt with yet," he says, "whether 'partner' in the Law of Return also applies to a same-sex partner. In view of the court rulings that have equalized the rights of same-sex couples and in view of the constitutional right for equality, it is obvious that the Law of Return must be interpreted as applying to same-sex couples, and that means an immigrant's partner must be given citizenship."
Given the impenetrable administration of Israel's Interior Ministry, this flap may say more about bureaucratic caution than about Israeli policy towards gays. Time will tell.

Is this suitable for use with 2009 mac mini and standard VGA monitor?
- Asked by Grubber A

1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer
Yes, this product will connect the 2009 Mac Mini with a standard VGA monitor. Although if you want to connect a second VGA monitor simultaneously you'll need to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter as the mac mini has one Mini-DVI port and a Mini DisplayPort.
The Mac Mini comes standard with a Mini DVI to DVI adapter.- Answered by Ben C from Greenpoint

Have you checked out the projects "On Our Radar"?
On Our Radar is a searchable, public database featuring nearly 400 noteworthy projects that advanced to the second or third phase of last year's highly competitive grant round for Film/Video and Visual Arts projects. Although the featured projects were not ultimately funded, we feel they are projects to watch. This site will be online through August 31, 2012.
Through On Our Radar, Creative Capital hopes these projects can find new support and generate collaborative opportunities. This initiative opens up the valuable opportunity for discovery to the larger community of arts professionals, other artists and funders. During each grant round, a wealth of exciting artists' projects emerge, but Creative Capital is only able to fund a small percentage of the applicants each year.
A new On Our Radar site will be rolling up after each grant round, and projects in Emerging Fields, Literature and Performing Arts will be posted in Spring 2013.
About Creative Capital
Creative Capital is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing integrated financial and advisory support to artists pursuing adventurous projects in five disciplines: Emerging Fields, Film/Video, Literature, Performing Arts and Visual Arts. Working in long-term partnership with artists, our pioneering approach to support combines funding, counsel and career development services to enable a project's success and foster sustainable practices for its grantees. Since 1999, we have committed nearly $25 million in financial and advisory support to 372 projects representing 463 artists, and our Professional Development Program has reached 5,000 artists in more than 100 communities across the country.
Creative Capital's core program receives support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Toby Devan Lewis, Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, Lambent Foundation Fund of Tides Foundation, The Nathan Cummings Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Booth Ferris Foundation, William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation, Muriel Pollia Foundation, Catharine & Jeffrey Soros, Paige West, Cordish Family Foundation, Sylvia Golden, Rappaport Family Foundation, Stephen Reily & Emily Bingham, and more than 150 other institutional and individual donors. Additional support for the Professional Development Program is provided by Kresge Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
