yeah but who wants to walk around holding a laptop when you coudl be holding that tiny thing... showing people around the house for real estate tours for an online video or something trust me, it would have been cool to do laptop things on something like a piece of plexi glass.. but you can only do ipod things I suppose.
In that case the example you used was not the greatest, military types need big ol rugged things. I also imagine they'd want to go have a sit rather then wander around a war-zone/ place their guarding with one of these sat infront of their face Perhaps another example? I did think it could be could for someone involved in the stock market, much easier to handle then a laptop on the stock floors.
the tech guys in the military yes.. the guys out on the sand no... OBV. but alot of military guys just work nerd jobs inside. like marineBorn
So this new "innovative" device is...a big ipod touch. or for $130 extra (!!) a big iphone. No multi-tasking, no flash, no full blown OS. You can get a touch screen enabled netbook instead and have a far better device. Sure this is better than a netbook at being an e-reader, but the kindle wipes the floor with this for reading books (and apple in their comparison with the kindle says this has a "great" battery life of 10 hours...which they failed to compare with 1 week on the kindle battery). Not even the apple processor is new...it's just a stock cortex core with a stock gpu component from ARM branded differently. Make it faster, multi-task, have flash and running a proper OS which isn't locked down to installing only what apple will allow and it will be better, suprisingly that is a pretty apt description of the HP slate
I'd still prefer a laptop to be honest, just put it on a desk, this thing you'd have to hold unless it comes with a free stand?
No multitasking = FAIL. Plain and simple fail. This could be the tablet for everyone but no multitasking makes it a tablet for people who don't do their research and want to be frustrated with a substandard yet good looking product.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...raandroid-tablet-coming-this-year-for-500.ars Apparently Apple isn't the only ones on the ARM train Multitasking.. is the only real gripe people have... and it depends on how you use it. I don't have any problems maintaining a few "Tasks" on my iPhone... looking for a part price on newegg, SMS, instant messaging, listening to music.. It's just different. Yeah, safari opens each time, but it doesnt take long enough to warrant a "Wahh no multitasking" IMO. I'm willing to bet multitasking will be in a future OS. It's how the iPhone has evolved. Start out basic, and let the features evolve with feedback from the actual population that uses the device, not a list of things to plaster a box with. -or- until the jailbreakers get their hands on the device, and adapt "Backgrounder". It IS the iPhone OS basically, anyways. Wheres dell version of the iPad? Oh wait, no other company has an ARM based touch based device that compares. Welcome to 2010.
I'm curious to see how those color e-readers will turn out. On the topic of iPhail, I think it appears to be more of a giant iPod. I think people "want" it because it is the new thing from Apple. I'd rather have a table pc than one of these, even if it is slimmer.
WOW OMG i cant wait to get one!!! as soon as I see a commercial were they are putting it in a manila envelope im sold. j/k seriously its a really big i touch and other than its size has nothing over it. I also think dippys example of multi tasking being the only gripe is BS your targeting one problem out of the many valid points others have had. Honestly this thing is the same thing as my iphone only huge and with less features. which is saying alot because even hacked my iphone is relatively useless. This is indeed another fan bait product ment to earn them $$ without actually changing technology or impressing the market. They are relying on the cult buyers to make this product a success which unfortunetely will work. The worst part? they arent even giving out month supplies of granny smith apples for the ludicrous price tag.
Meh, they'd probably sell more if they stopped marketing it as an eReader and added 'Personal Porn Device' to the list of features.
I cant think of a single reason to recommend this product to anyone! besides maybe that^^^^^ but there are much cheaper ways!
It's just a 3rd thing for spoiled kids to buy if you ask me. You aren't going to carry it around in your pocket to say listen to music like you would/could an I-Pod or I-Phone and you aren't going to use it for taking notes as there is no dedicated keyboard like a Macbook. So if you already have a notebook and an I-Phone than here is another toy for you.
I can't stress this enough: The iPad is not eligible for reading e-books. The Kindle is expensive for some reason, and the reason is that it uses e-ink. It has a screen that won't damage your eyes, won't make you head hurt after looking at it for hours and you can see perfectly with natural light. The iPad has just another glossy, LCD screen. No one, not even macfags, should use something like the iPad to spend 4 hours straight reading a book. So as far as an e-book reader, the iPad is just another electronic device that opens text files, as we've had for over 20 years now.
some mac lovers are like those you will find in cults and apple is their God and if they have to ruin their eyesight to appease they're almighty God they will but that is a good catch I didn't even remember that but alot of mac fans wouldn't care.
I can sense people are dissing the ipad, almost every techy does. I love iShuffles ipods itouch iphone And any model realease ontop of that.... And people flame at Apple on there update releases of this hardware, but When then itouch-iphone came out 3g wasnt even getting that popular if i remeber right and now its almost in many phones and not just leather glazed backberries back then I think Ipods sound great, play great, never fail me, small, light, durable, ONLY COMPANY to have solid base around songs, apps, music, and I love the support and new products all the time.... But people are going to flame on my COMMENT, and flame on apple for the ipad... I just think its going to be a great device, and anustly there shouldnt be any problems and it should run smooth, bright, long, and light and reliable when its first released and then updated. ****EDIT****And also 1 more thing, you guys seem to be capping on the ib00k feature app for this ipad. Well anustly, theres going to be more apps for it and not just a ibook feature. And you know what, its going to play music, go online, and probably some accessorie to get a speaker for phone talk with the ability to take Sim cards from phones. Not just a e-book. Also e-books arnt going to be playing some pretty high res movies, well i dont know exactly if its high res, but jesus it couldnt be pixelated if they ment it to be a foot infront of your face
I don't know what awes me the most, if it's your opinion or your spelling. And I'm not even from an english-speaking country.
mp3 = ipod, cell phone = iPhone. Now ipod = iPad. I can only see this being good for only girl turning 10 or for female out there

Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Bell, and Mandy Moore walked the red carpet on Friday before heading in to take their seats at the Stand Up 2 Cancer phone banks in LA. The hour-long telethon was broadcast on multiple major networks and streamed across the web, and the effort raised more than $100 million dollars for research in the fight against the disease. Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and mom-to-be Christina Applegate, both of whom battled cancer in the past, proudly modeled t-shirts that read "Survivor."
Gwyneth Paltrow arrived on the West Coast on Thursday, ready to add her support to the event after attending Fashion's Night Out in London last week. She caught up with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, while Rob Lowe joined Diane Lane. Cindy Crawford, and Chuck's Zachary Levi helped in collecting donations, and fresh-from-Mexico Ryan Seacrest also lent his star power to the cause. Contributions to the charity are still being accepted, and they're even open to making good use of Facebook credits!

NEGAUNEE TWP. -- Changes are taking place regarding television coverage of Green Bay Packers' and Detroit Lions' football games in the Upper Peninsula.
An alteration in the line-up of a number of cable companies, including Charter Communications, is the reason for the switch.
TV6 and FOX UP have been designated by the Green Bay Packers as the Official Packers' stations in Upper Michigan.
UP viewers will soon notice a Green Bay station that's covered the Packers in the past (WLUK) will not be available here, and that has led TV6 and FOX UP management to make what turns out to be a very easy business decision for most viewers.
When the Packers and Lions play at the same time on FOX, the Packers game will be covered on FOX UP. That will be the first priority.
In addition to the regular season games on FOX UP, TV6 will be carrying three Packers' pre-season games on Thursdays in August, the 16th, 23rd and 30th.
FOX UP and TV6 will also carry the half hour Packers' programs "Inside Lambeau" and "The Mike McCarthy Show" each weekend beginning August 19th.
TV6 and FOX UP still will broadcast a total of at least nine Detroit Lions games this season.

LONDON (AP) - U.S. and U.K. authorities have fined the Royal Bank of Scotland more than $610 million for its role in the manipulation of a key global interest rate.
RBS is the third major bank caught up in an international scandal over banks' setting the rate. The London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, provides the basis for trillions of dollars in contracts around the world, including mortgages, bonds and consumer loans.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission says RBS submitted false data on interest rates to benefit its trading positions.
U.S. and UK regulators fined RBS more than $460 million for rate-rigging. Meanwhile, a unit of RBS agreed to plead guilty in a Department of Justice investigation. It accepted a penalty of $150 million and will cooperate in its probe.

One year ago today: the tweets tell the story of right-to-work passage
One year ago today was my one-month anniversary working for
Crain's Detroit Business
. It was a momentous day. Not because of me, but because of what everyone at the Capitol that day was about to witness, with the Legislature poised to make Michigan the 24th right-to-work state -- something just about everyone believed to be unthinkable in the state where unions were born. On the one-year anniversary of Gov. Rick Snyder's quick signature on the bills, both sides

The New Year is near: Time to plan ahead for your business
As 2013 rapidly comes to an end, and as a New Year is on the horizon, I'm confident 2014 planning is well underway. As an entrepreneur, don't wait too long. If you're not doing so, it's time to begin focusing on next year's plans. As business owners, it's easy to think about being "in the business" versus "thinking about the business." In other words, we have a tendency to get bogged down in the day-to-day

Have you been to Detroit lately?
Everybody is coming to Detroit these days. Anthony Bourdain, the traveling chef, brought his
show to Detroit in warmer weather for a show that aired in early November. People are still talking about it. In two conversations last week, I heard firsthand accounts about inquiries from outside investors and technology companies. If anything, bankruptcy seems to spur interest. When was the last time you visited Detroit, beyond a trip to a ballgame or concert? A handful of

Electricity deregulation bill to return to House agenda
Supporters of Michigan's return to a fully competitive electricity market — namely, the competing providers largely locked out of doing business in the state — again seek to change the 2008 energy law. Rep. Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, will introduce legislation this week that will eliminate the 10 percent cap on competition that's been in place for five years. House Bill 5184 would remove the provision of the 2008 law that provides that no more than 10 percent of an electricity

Ever since I started investing, both as an angel, and now as a venture capitalist at Detroit Venture Partners, there has been one recurring phrase that I hear nearly every day. It's a phrase that once intrigued me by what was to be revealed after hearing it. And now, it's a phrase that upon hearing it, makes me roll my eyes. For it is a phrase that more oft than not, is vaporware.
I have a great startup idea
Or, turn it up a notch with it's hyper-fearful cousin:

Big data is helping the auto industry sell vehicles and stay green
Big data is the term for a collection of data so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using common database management tools or traditional IT applications. The challenges include how to capture, store, search, share, transfer, analyze and visualize it. We can see how big data would be beneficial to companies like
Amazon, Walmart, eBay
and others but how about closer to home? Automotive manufacturers and suppliers consider analytics

Orr: Monetize, don't sell, assets to 'generate revenue for a city that's revenue-starved'
Sometimes it's all about the words you use. During an interview with
reporters and editors Thursday morning, Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr carefully refrained from talking about the sale of city assets. Instead, the buzz word was "monetization" — which basically means keeping city assets under Detroit's ownership while still finding ways to leverage them for cash. While he has previously said that all options are on the table for

8 things Duggan, Snyder and Orr can do to help fix Detroit
Detroit's biggest problems can be resolved with community control, technology, public/private programs and partnerships; crowd-funding and a little help from Gov. Rick Snyder. Here are my ideas:
1. Reduce crime by using technology.
Crime is considered by many people as the No. 1 problem in Detroit. However, if communities establish Business Improvement Districts and Special Assessment District within the new City Council districts, the communities can control or reduce crime by

MM3rdQB: The best football of last week wasn't played by a man or boy
Out of all the football this past week, and there was a lot of it, perhaps the most compelling story had nothing to do with the

Harvard probing dozens for possible cheating
Tags: Harvard University College Cheating
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WHDH) -- Dozens of Harvard undergrads are under investigation for cheating after school officials discovered they may have shared answers or plagiarized on a final exam for a spring course.
The university announced the investigation Thursday – the same day as students began moving into their dorms. They are looking into allegations of cheating by potentially 125 in an undergrad class.
The allegations surfaced last semester when a faculty member teaching the class found similarities between several take-home finals. There were roughly 250 students in the class and officials say nearly half the students were called in before the administrative board.
The students' exams are being investigated to see if they cheating of other students or plagiarized.
Harvard students say they don't believe the allegations.
"I don't believe it. It's a pretty good school full of pretty good students so I find it hard to believe. I'm pretty sure once enough research is done, something will come out that I don't believe. I wouldn't believe it," said Francisco Hernandez, Harvard undergrad student.
Harvard officials aren't releasing the name of the class, the students' names or the exact number being investigated.
Michael D. Smith, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, released a statement Thursday saying, "We take academic integrity very seriously because it goes to the heart of our educational mission. Academic dishonesty cannot and will not be tolerated at Harvard."
Students say they are taught how to cite their work to avoid allegations of plagiarism.
"All I know is that the university is really strict and its policies are really strict so in grad school at least we have to go through a lot to understand how not to plagiarize," said Rupangi Sharma, Harvard graduate student.
Harvard says it's continuing the investigation and any student found responsible for cheating will face disciplinary including being asked to leave to college for an entire year.

The other day, I grew determined. I intended to find a place where I could buy a cup of something hot to drink, fire up the wi-fi to work on the computer, and eat something more substantial than a banana. Gluten-free living in Seattle is far easier than it is in other cities or so I have been told but still, this seemed like a snarl worse than the freeway in the mornings.
It took a trek to four places, with parking delays at each one, before I found my new nirvana: Remedy Teas. This calm, green-walled place contains a hundred teas or more. Better for me, they have gluten-free carrot muffins in the glass case, as well as a salad of spinach, walnut, cucumbers, and chickpeas.
Its amazing what we take for granted.
That evening, I invented this concoction. I love chickpeas. Truly, I could eat them every day. Most days, I just squeeze a little lemon juice atop them, drizzle a glug of olive oil, crunch some kosher salt between my fingers, and top it all with pepper. An afternoon of clean eating and a sigh of relief. If I am feeling decadent, I add in bites of fresh mozzarella. It doesnt take much more than that to make me happy.
However, the next time you take out some chickpeas, you might want to throw in some carrots cut slim, a handful of raw walnuts, and arugula leaves torn in shreds. Top it with salty, creamy French feta and a splash of sherry-walnut vinaigrette, and you might feel better than you have in days.
Shauna James Ahern
For the salad:
2 cups chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup raw walnuts
2 carrots, julienned
Handful French feta, crumbled
1/2 cup arugula, shredded into small pieces
Kosher salt
Cracked black pepper
1. Combine the chickpeas, walnuts, carrots, salt and pepper.
2. In a blender, combine the sherry vinegar, salt, pepper and mustard. Mix them well. Slowly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil as the blender is running. When the liquids have blended into a coherent mixture (known as emulsifying), stop the blender.
3. Drizzle salad with s small spurt of vinaigrette and toss. Compose in the bowl and add the French feta.

Getting live pictures back from Manchester, New Hampshire the wire services there report are predicting that almost three quarters of the state voters.
Will turn out today that's good.
It's a sharp jump over 2008.
As we await the final results -- next guests are two former campaign insiders who spent many long nights in various political headquarters on Election Day.
And Rollins the former director of the 1984 successful Reagan reelection campaign and Joseph Trippi is a former Howard Dean campaign manager both are Fox News contributors.
So ask you about.
What these candidates are.
Doing today and any president Bosnian plays -- best of our told and tell out but it you -- -- -- Vice President -- out there to campaign Mitt Romney did a little campaigning.
I mean take us through what it's night what's likely for the kids it's the.
Hardest day of all it is today in which there really is no campaigning.
You see Romney didn't include the today but -- -- you know do nothing.
So you -- you go into these men have been very very active with the teams and very very -- -- kind of sitting around waiting as we all are here for the first numbers to -- It's in today's and they get their information in a different how will they find out tonight what the results are Jeff.
-- I've been there I mean they they literally.
At first I -- right it's it's.
Horrible -- to go through nothing it just feels like time -- -- moving at all you're just sort of and there's nothing you can do you said he he walks into a phone bank if he does that everybody stops -- Graham because the candidates -- came here I mean just eat you disrupt things or -- or you can't I mean his time is indeed.
But what happens when the numbers are come and it's really interest thing because particularly if it's bad news.
It is bad news how the candidate can find out is -- it's really kind of this weird game of you tell -- no no you tell me really wants it to.
Yeah you'll -- -- you fight no -- I'm sure injured was more than willing to tell his candidate.
But you we need you know as someone who I've gone up from little lower level of mid level high level -- campaign.
It always surprised me.
In a loss how the top disorders stood there and when it -- Simmer for awhile before one of them finally got up the nerve to go tell the boss the most wasn't gonna -- Most interesting we we we did polls on the -- on Air Force One who was gonna win.
And the ones who always the most accurate Secret Service guys Secret Service guys have been out they basically solve crowds and they said wow and in the Reagan campaign for eight years ago and they wouldn't -- -- and -- landslide that.
They were the most accurate and anybody that.
What do you think is the what I -- -- -- trying to understand if they had are they relying on the same -- sure alumni data that we -- sure they have their own people what these and.
What what what you have -- he's around the country -- tell you where they're turning out it it what kinds of crowds -- there but they have no idea.
The -- in game until we haven't here minutes -- saying they're not doing -- themselves it's too expensive to do.
And they wait they way for the networks I mean it.
What is it this -- and the rate and the ringing campaign which was you had come on the -- little that's not been.
Not enough to play over judge yeah Paula how do you say yeah that's me you're a great you know we don't let us do our job.
Find out pointed out -- except I know which one against two you have.
That is that I whereas no explanation and as Tom Bradley 1981 and it's that's an interesting every -- of the Bradley Effect.
Well that was one where we we knew -- and in fact all three exit polls said we'd won the governorship -- I remember watching on TV from the presidential suite.
Our chairman being asked on the floor what it would have felt like to be the new chief of staff for the governor of California.
And that was one where.
No one told him we we knew we were looking at returns coming in over the computer in in and and we -- dwindling away -- He wasn't up at all three networks had a -- I play Atlanta as well as both director I was the one who had a ten and had a -- because the top guys.
We put an extra check it would put -- that.
Who put an absentee ballot program in effect in California as the first one really ever done this -- 1982.
And we won the absentee ballots he won Election Day.
But we had enough absentee ballots that we basically then that was really the first time pursued -- absentee ballot gambit had been played in.
-- and that's -- team Obama's right to get ahead early voting today there but it is what happened was they do what they just came minutes of like hey why don't you go over the numbers with mayor Mike.
Don't want to do well you know what do you think -- -- -- -- Tony -- -- bottom line to the man saying.
You've lost or do you just basically said look there there's going to be a 100000 votes coming in from Orange County in a few minutes and when it comes in we're gonna go and we're gonna.
Go behind and I don't see a place where we can make it up.
And it's just don't have I mean I mean it.
They've worked so hard no matter what -- -- think no matter who we want to win they've -- worked so hard -- so many people who have worked so hard for them and you know god bless American democracy this is the way it works.
But but it must be very harsh and it's.
Really difficult and -- both these candidates think they're gonna win I mean that's symbols of these campaigns think to do you believe that.
I have definitely this I agree that I've had I've had the misfortune of walking in when the feeling has been sitting there in the early returns and come -- and they think they're winning I think the president is governor.
And it and I have to tell them no.
You're not the number I'm talking about an accident -- we're about to go in and in a critical period tonight where we will go on the air will get the first wave of exit poll data.
And and -- start to get some raw vote in but.
You know back in 2004 the initial exit poll data was totally wrong with -- the John Kerry.
Was way -- there was no way that bush was gonna make up the difference and that is what the -- went on out on the air understanding.
Brit Hume says an -- he's very grateful to this day he didn't overplay that information.
Because it wound up being dead wrong so should we trust what we are starting to hear from exit polls and I -- No I don't think we've got on the -- act and I think this time it's even worse because who knows I don't think think.
We know for sure how to count the early voting and with what happens today is people come -- other.
-- the polling this I would take anything that we heard today I think information why did people vote for one person over the other.
Did the economy have.
One thing you'll watch -- saying -- that there are white and biodiversity and not a white voters there and that an age if this if this it is an older electorate can and get some brown 75%.
Wife and I think -- the is going to be the president next president of the united states of its units.
The younger electorate slightly younger that the Obama people feel and more diverse electorate.
In terms of -- being more route 72% of the vote.

Veteran state official John Sharp has been named the sole finalist by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents for chancellor. Sharp will be eligible to become chancellor of the A&M System after a state-mandated 21-day waiting period.
Sharp, a 1972 graduate of Texas A&M University, has more than three decades of experience in state public office, including terms with the Texas Senate and Texas House of Representatives, as a member of the Texas Railroad Commission, and as the 35th Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
"John's years of combined service to our state and to Texas A&M make him an ideal choice for this role," said Richard A. Box, chairman of the A&M System's Board of Regents. "Throughout his career, he has remained dedicated to ensuring the A&M System's success, and as a board, we believe he can provide the steadfast commitment it will take to achieve our ongoing preeminence in teaching, research and service as one of the country's leading university systems.
"During his many years in state government, he has become acutely aware of the many challenges that our universities, state agencies and health science center face," Box added, "but he also understands the tremendous opportunity that lies within the A&M System."
While a student at Texas A&M, Sharp was a member of the Corps of Cadets and Corps staff, and served as student body president. Following graduation, he served four years in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Manny Pardo was not insane. Not in the legal sense. No court ever embraced his flimsy not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity ploy.
But he was surely crazed in the way a disgraceful number of South Florida policemen were afflicted in the 1980s, by all the kilos of cocaine, by so many bundles of illicit cash, by the ostentatious lifestyles of traffickers living so well in plain sight.
The temptations sent Pardo on a horrific homicidal spree in 1985 and 1986, ripping off and murdering drug dealers and eliminating the occasional witness. After the Florida Supreme Court denied his last futile appeal of his nine murder convictions last week, Manuel Pardo Jr., 56, has an appointment at the death chamber in Starke on Tuesday morning.
He'll be remembered as an unrepentant and vain glorious serial killer, the Navy vet, boy scout leader, onetime Florida State trooper of the month and former detective sergeant with the Sweetwater police force who styled himself as a kind of homicidal crusader for justice. "Instead of nine," he testified at his 1988 trial, "I wish I could have been up here for ninety-nine."
He told the jury, "l enjoyed what I was doing. I enjoyed shooting them. They're parasites and they're leeches, and they have no right to be alive. Somebody had to kill these people."
"I sent their souls to the eternal fires of damnation of hell for the misery they caused."
His was a rather self-serving crusade. Pardo profited nicely from the drugs and money and guns he stole from his victims, back when drug dealer rip-offs by cops were epidemic in South Florida. The year before, a police officer named Richard Caride led a gang of Hialeah cops on a series of home invasions, going after dealers and their stashes of coke and cash and executing at least two of their victims. Caride, at the time of his arrest, owned a Corvette, Jaguar, Lincoln Continental and two Porsches.
(Caride, rather than trying something like Pardo's vigilante insanity defense, simply flipped on his accomplices, served a short stint in prison and was able to "rehabilitate" himself right back into a nice managerial job at Miami International Airport, where he was implicated in 2004 in a $5 million scheme to steal jet fuel from the airport depot.)
Also in 1985, the notorious Miami River Cops scandal stunned South Florida. About 100 policemen were arrested, fired, suspended, or reprimanded after making millions stealing money and drugs from traffickers and re-selling the cocaine. In July 1985, three men who had been off-loading kilos from a drug boat jumped into the river and drowned after the gang of rogue cops surprised them. Twenty policemen were convicted in the scandal.
None of these other outlaw cops were as ruthless as Pardo.
His ethos was described nicely in a 1989 brief filed by the state attorney general's office to fend off an appeal. The brief describes how the former Sweetwater cop and a partner went to the residence of Mario Amador, "ostensibly to purchase two kilograms of cocaine from Amador."
It reads like a crime novel. "Rather than pay good American dollars for the two kilos, the defendant and co-defendant elected to murder Mario Amador and steal the cocaine. They arrived at his residence with the defendant carrying a briefcase containing not cash, but rather a .22 cal. semi-automatic, silencer equipped pistol.

Most people will remember Doron Mahareta (bottom right) as one of the eight Yeshiva students killed in a bloody massacre at Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem on March 6, 2008.
His voice and his face forever lost.
But Doron's story will endure; because it is a tale not only of incredible determination and overcoming obstacles, but a testament to the passion and the will that enriches and perpetuates Jewish life.
Jeff Ballabon writes:
Doron: Story of a True Tzaddik
Doron wanted to learn Torah in Mercaz HaRav, one of the best of Israel's yeshivas. But, since his early schooling was in Ethiopia, he lacked a strong background in Gemara. The Yeshiva rejected him. He wasn't discouraged. He asked, "If you won't let me learn Torah, will you let me wash the dishes in the mess hall?" For a year and a half, Doron washed dishes. But, he spent every spare minute in the study hall. He inquired what the yeshiva boys were learning, and spent most of the nights and all of his Shabbatot with his head in the Gemara learning what they learned. One day, the "dish washer" asked the Rosh Yeshiva to test him. The Rosh Yeshiva politely smiled and tried to gently dismiss Doron, but Doron wouldn't budge. He forced the Rosh Yeshiva into a Torah discussion; the next day, he was no longer a dish washer but a full-fledged "yeshiva bachur".
On weekends, when Doron would come home to visit his family in Ashdod, he'd spend the entire Shabbat either in the Melitzer Shul or the neighboring Gerrer shtiebel learning Shulchan Aruch and its commentaries. Three weeks ago, he finished the entire Shulchan Aruch and principle commentaries. Doron achieved in his tender 26 years what others don't attain in 88 years. He truly was an unblemished sacrifice, who gave his life for all of us.

It was supposed to be a secular night. A Hollywood premiere and drinks at the Chateau Marmont felt safely removed from Jewish purview, and I even felt relief at not having to 'talk Jewish' for an evening.
But Hollywood, as we've heard stigmatized many times, teems with Jews, so it's hard to escape the fact that premiere parties could make minyans, and that being Jewish in Hollywood is like a racial stamp, impossible to avoid.
The search for Jews-who-run-Hollywood during an evening that included the second-season premiere of "The Riches" at the Pacific Design Center on Mar. 16, evinced a disturbing reality: an anti-Semitic Hitler admirer wanted to talk about the Jews more than a Hollywood Jew wanted to talk about his Jewishness.
That Jew is Jason Weinberg, manager and power player, oft reputed to be the best in the business. He's known for his A-list client roster which includes Naomi Watts, Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan and Madonna. Hilary Swank thanked him during her Oscar acceptance speech—even though she forgot to mention her (then) husband.
For Weinberg, the premiere after-party was business as usual. He sat close to client Minnie Driver, the evening's star, coaching her through the whirlwind of attention, the lavished praise, the putrid politics.
"I love the Jews," Weinberg said. But he shied away from my request for an interview.
He approached our table, interrupting our gorging on french fries and caesar salad to bring champagne.
"Uncle Adolf, I used to call him," Herz said about Hitler. "Eichmann was an a—hole, but Hitler was a nice man."

Every nice Jewish gal wants to find her dream guy; but what happens when his mother gets in the way?
Here's my spin in "Attack of The Mothers":
I know how to handle men, but their mothers? An entirely different challenge. Until I moved to Los Angeles, I had never been "hit on" by women. Now women twice, thrice, even four times my age (I call them mothers-on-the-prowl) approach me nearly every Shabbat. Sometimes, they attack in the middle of the Amidah…

I had no desire to see Shalom Hanoch in concert. I had never even heard of the guy.
But my co-worker, an Israeli ex-pat who was a young woman during Hanoch's heydey, insisted that I come with her to his Saturday night, March 8 concert at the Avalon in Hollywood. She wanted to educate me on Israeli music, and Hanoch - being one of the greatest Israeli rock musicians in the country's young history - would be a terrific start.
Beseder, I said. I'll come.
So I went. But my coworker did not (for family reasons).
And, surprisingly, I had a great time!
Despite not knowing any of Hanoch's songs and being one of the few concert goers under the age of 40, I really enjoyed the show.
Hanoch's raspy, seductive voice was full of emotion during the quiet ballads and bursting with energy during the raucous rock songs. He was charismatic and a pleasure to watch, and he interacted with the crowd in a playful, genuinely interested manner. Their adoration was palpable: they swayed to his love songs, knew every lyric to every song, shouted requests, danced wildly and roared for an encore performance.
The warm vibe enveloped me and I felt like I belonged, on the one hand, and a complete outsider on the other.
Walking past the merchandise-selling booth in the lobby on my way out, I paused to consider buying Hanoch's CD.
Nah, I thought. He's a little too rock for me. I walked away, humming one of his softer tunes.
At least now I know who Shalom Hanoch is.
Thanks, Shosh.

After all the press, controversial pastor John Hagee, as notorious for his incendiary remarks as for his Israel support, was quite boring.
The most scintillating aspect of Stephen S. Wise Temple's "Forum on Critical Values" dialogue between Rabbi David Woznica and Pastor Hagee last night was the press release.
It said:
Hagee is the founder and Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, a non-denominational evangelical church with more than 19,000 active members; he has traveled to Israel 23 times and has met with every Prime Minister since Menachem Begin; John Hagee Ministries has given more than $10 million to bring Soviet Jews from the former Soviet Union to Israel.
At the talk, little else surfaced.
Hagee softened some of his pithier statements, such as "I believe that Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans,â with maundering rationale and suggested misunderstanding.
The packed synagogue of mostly Reform Jews loved him anyway. Especially when he said Jerusalem should belong to Jews and only Jews, undivided. But when asked, he said he wouldn't cause a public stir if for their safety, the Jews decided to divide Jerusalem anyway.
However, I was surprised to learn that after speaking at the Knesset in September 2005, it was Benjamin Netanyahu who inspired Hagee to unify the many Christian groups loosely supporting Israel, which prompted Hagee to create "Christians United for Israel."
Here are the verbal highlights from a night that sounded more like a bible recitation than a discussion:
"I'd rather talk to G-d for 30 seconds than to George [W.] Bush all night."
"Granting forgiveness without demanding a change in conduct is to make the grace of G-d an accomplice to evil."
"Jesus, who was a reform rabbi…"
On Jews bringing the bible to the world:
"We, as Christians have a bible mandate to help you. If we have benefited from Jewish spiritual things, than we have an obligation to help Jews with material things."On he and his rabbi friend:
"When we're standing in the streets of Jerusalem together and the Messiah comes, one of us has a great theological adjustment to make."On the Crusaders:
"They were thieves, liars, robbers and rapists."

L.A. Opera is one of a kind.
It may lack the fanciful flair of opera-goers in New York or San Francisco, with their lavish attire and high-culture gabbing at the mini-bar, because, save for a handful of ladies anachronistically bedecked in fur, Angelenos prefer a more casual fashion display—call it "off the red carpet couture." And instead of the escapism most Americans crave on the eve of economic recession, Angelenos desire to see themselves reflected in their art.
Luckily, music director James Conlon knows just how to give that to them.
This past weekend, the appropriate performance was "Recovered Voices" a double-bill of one-act operas written by Jewish composers and suppressed by the Nazis. Alexander Zemlinsky wrote "The Dwarf" before fleeing The Third Reich for New York, and Viktor Ullmann penned "The Broken Jug" then perished in a gas chamber.
How providential then, that these two concealed works found a stage in a city that mimics their themes: political corruption and beauty versus ugliness.
At first I thought "The Broken Jug" would need metaphor. A whodunit opera about a fractured water pitcher seemed like a tall order for people whose attention spans were crafted by Hollywood. But then it dawned on me that a political satire about a judge presiding over a trial in which he is the culprit, reeked of hypocrisy. Like Mayor Villaraigosa being endorsed a "member of the tribe," praised by L.A.'s most esteemed rabbis - without a trace of scorn for his public infidelity. It's a delicate balance you know, Ten Commandments or political allies?
Next up was "The Dwarf," a weepy melodrama about a Paris Hilton-type princess gifted with an exotic dwarf for her birthday. The young beauty trifles with the dwarf's delicate heart while the rest of court mocks him. When he glimpses his deformities in the mirror, he yelps and dies. The dramatic preoccupation with looks—a perfect fit—for a town that lives and dies by the vagaries of youth and beauty.
Though they most certainly didn't anticipate it, Zemlinsky and Ullmann were channeling the voice of Los Angeles almost half a century before Los Angeles would find its most prescient operatic companions.

In 1998, Rabbi Daniel Gordis kissed a shiny life in Los Angeles goodbye. He took his wife and two children on a one-way El-Al flight to Israel and has become a fixture there ever since.
The founding dean of American Jewish University's (then, University of Judaism) Ziegler Rabbinical School is now Senior Vice President of the Shalem Center, and writes extensively about Israeli society and the challenges the Jewish state faces.
Since his U.S. departure, he has written a series of "dispatches" which began as mass emails and have since filled the pages of two books.
His latest missive, "The Shame Of It All" regards recent events in Israel with malcontent, placing culpability with Israel's national leadership. (I recommend reading it through the link in its full form, instead of what I've abbreviated below.)
Gordis writes:
There were days, and they were not that long ago, when Zionism was about something different. Days when Zionists could articulate what the purpose of Jewish Statehood was, days when Israelis understood that having a state was about changing the existential condition of the Jew. Not anymore.
When you've lost the sense that Jewish statehood is about changing the condition of the Jew, and when you can no longer recall that independence was designed (inter alia) to end the era of hunting seasons in which the Jews are the ducks, just because they're Jews, when any semblance of a Jewish conversation is thoroughly absent from your worldview, it's hard to say much about why the Jews need a State. It's hard to say why the high cost of living here (and I don't mean financial) is worth it. How do you explain to your friends, and to yourself, why you should drive your eighteen year old son to the base where he'll be inducted, and hope and pray for three long years (or more) that he'll be OK, if you have no idea why a Jewish State matters?
... you don't allow yourself to be horrified by the fact that almost 8,000 rockets have been fired at Sderot, that life there has been transformed into hell. You don't allow yourself to remember that for years, yes seven years, kids (and old kids, sometimes in their teens) have been sleeping in their parents' rooms, making any kind of normal family life utterly impossible, elementary school kids have been wetting their beds, half the businesses are vacated, more than half the town is empty, the economy doesn't exist and everyone is scared to death, all the time.
You don't allow yourself to focus on the fact that this is exactly what Zionism was supposed to prevent. You get so used to it that you don't see that Jews sitting like ducks, simply waiting to be hit by homemade missiles while the region's most powerful army sits on the side and polishes its boots, is a bastardization of what Zionism was supposed to be.
When a country's leadership can't express a single coherent thought about why the Jews need a State, when its Prime Minister can articulate no agenda for the Jewish State beyond the hope that it will be "a fun place to live" (and look who gleefully cites that interview), you know we're bankrupt… now, aside from being a marginally Hebrew-speaking version of some benign and characterless country, we can't remember why we wanted this State to begin with. So we don't defend it, because we don't want to hurt their civilians (even though they openly target ours). We don't want to earn the world's opprobrium, because our Prime Minister loves being welcomed in foreign capitals. We don't defend ourselves because we're no longer sure that it's really worth the casualties on our side that preventing these attacks on our sovereignty would require.
So we sit. And civilians keep getting targeted, and keep dying. And soldiers die. And Israeli towns become ghost towns. But George Bush most supports us, so we feel better. And the charade with Abu Mazen permits us to continue hallucinating about the possibility of peace, to pretend that the Palestinians aren't simply an utterly failed people that will never make peace in our lifetimes or those of our children, so we feel even better.
...And before you know it, before your friend has even had five minutes to say anything about his book, all of the Blackberry's are out, and all the cell phones are being used, because the news has reached us - it's starting again. There's been an attack at a yeshiva at the entrance to the city.
In the morning, the papers report the attack, but there's not a single mention of a response, or even a contemplated response. Of course one will come, but not yet. It will have to get worse first, because a few people killed in Sederot, and a couple of soldiers, and even eight kids from a yeshiva - well, it's sad, but just for that we're actually going to start a war?
No, probably not, at least not yet. Because to go to war (or more accurately, to respond to the war that's been unleashed against you) to defend your citizens, you'd have to be able to articulate why this country still makes any difference. You've have to be able to say something about why it was created in the first place. You'd have to have a sense of Jewish history. You'd have to have a vision for the Jews, an agenda for your country. You'd have to be able to see yourself as part of a several thousand year old conversation. You'd have to have some courage. And yes, you'd Âhave to love your people more than you love your office.
... Our Prime Minister doesn't want to defend Sederot. Or Ashkelon. He doesn't want to tell Bush that the charade with Abu Mazen is bound to explode, and that when it does, more of us will die. He just wants a country that's "fun to live in."

From the "Live For Sderot" concert on Tuesday night, Feb. 26, here is the recorded message from Barack Obama. Strangely enough, it is the only one of the three that is posted on YouTube for everyone to see. Come on, Hillary and McCain: get with the program! If you want to reach the youth vote, you need to have a presence online, which means regular postings to YouTube.
