Father delivers baby boy in Barnes and Noble parking lot
Jon Quicquaro missed the birth of his first child two years ago, but he more than made up for it the second time around.
Quicquaro and his pregnant wife, Rochelle, were on their way to Excela Westmoreland Hospital on Thursday afternoon when it became clear they weren't going to make it in time.
"My mind was like, 'I don't want to have a baby in a car," Rochelle Quicquaro said.
"I knew when we were driving we were not going to make it," Jon Quicquaro said. "I can tell I just need to find somewhere safe for all of us, where we can just go it and enjoy it, and we did. It was like the best day of my life."
Quicquaro called 911 dispatchers, who talked him through the delivery process in the parking lot of the Barnes and Noble along Route 30 in Greensburg.
Not long after, he and his wife were the proud parents of a baby boy named Wesley.
"No baby book at Barnes and Noble could prepare you for this," the proud father said.
Two years ago, Quicquaro missed the birth of his first child, Maci, while he was serving in the Navy. This time, he missed his computer science final at the University of Pittsburgh for Wesley's birth.
Quicquaro's wife and newborn son were doing well and resting at Excela Westmoreland Hospital.

The New Home-Buying Rules
6. Don't Be Afraid to Wait a While
If you're not quite ready to buy, sit tight. "Home prices have stabilized, but there's no race for them to go higher," says Linda Duessel, a market strategist at Federated Investors. "You still should be able to get a decent price in two or three years." This checklist will help you decide whether to take the plunge or put buying on the back burner.
Buy if...
- You found the house you want.
- You can comfortably afford it.
- You believe the price is right.
- You feel secure about your income.
Wait if...
- You're worried about job security (yours or your partner's).
- There's a good chance you'll move again within three years.
- Home prices are falling in your desired area (try visiting trulia.com or zillow.com to get a read on trends).
- You're pregnant. Having a baby is tiring and stressful. So is moving. Doing both within a six-month period can take all the fun out of getting that new set of house keys. Channel your nesting instincts into preparing a nursery in your current place, and wait until your baby is sleeping through the night before you commence house-hunting.

Superstition and Supernatural Stories
Theres a lot of supernatural going around.
I've been blogging and speaking a lot of late about my forthcoming supernatural horror book series, 'Transgressions'. So with that alone my head has spent a lot of time in the twilight zone. But I've also been working on a TV series that is currently shooting, as well as a hybrid interactive production in the US - neither of which my contractual NDA's permit me to say much about - But what I can say is that all are rooted in very cool, mythological, high-concept, supernatural shit..!
Good times! It's always a fun to go playing in big supernatural creative sandpits - they make for the kind of rich, fertile, larger-life, metaphorical narratives I love. But when you're working on multiple projects in different mediums that share a common genre base, you're inevitably compelled to try and understand what makes those genres work at a core level and what it is that underpins those stories irrespective of medium and platform?
It's been a bit of drum I've been banging for a while now. Amidst all the hype and guru-speak about new media forms over the past decade, I've often been concerned that creators spend too much time examining what is different between formats, rather than seeking to understanding more holistically what unites and connects them. The result is an over-emphasis of the 'new' rather than engagement with substance.
So, as I work on 3 simultaneous supernatural story projects, in 3 different mediums (screen, page and interactive) I've been thinking a lot about what they have in common rather than what's different or unique about them. And moreover, what makes supernatural stories work? In fact this very question is one that comes up quite often when I speak to fellow writers. And the answer I give, that many find strange, is 'Realism and Plausibility…'
Ostensibly this would seem an anathema to what we think of as being the key element of Supernatural - that it is unnatural, unrealistic, beyond reason, not plausible or possible, that it is a form of 'fantasy'. But whilst this might be a valid understanding for an lay audience, it's actually not very helpful for a writer trying to write a supernatural story because it doesn't provide a toolkit for development and execution….
The starting point worth acknowledging is that Supernatural is not the same as Fantasy. As the name itself suggests, Super-Natural is about being above nature, nature extended, the natural world pushed beyond what we can comprehend or understand as Rational. But, by doing this, Natural order is tested, subverted, challenged and dislodged. So in order to have this 'super' quality in our stories we have to have the rational Natural bit as well. And then we break it…
So, by this, great Supernatural stories are rooted in the real world as a launching off point where you are asking the audience to take great leaps of logic, yet still feel that there is an immediacy and connection to the 'real' - taken from what they know and is familiar, to what they don't know and is foreign. This is something much more than just simple 'suspension of disbelief' at work in supernatural narratives - the audience are undertaking a much more concerted engagement with allowing themselves to entertain uncertainty about their real world, not escape to a fantastical one.
This is not just an arbitrary imposition but speaks directly to the emotional experience and expectation of supernatural stories on the part of audiences - to entertain uncertainty, to evoke mysteries that come from within the world around us, not worlds we have to venture away to. Ghost stories, witchcraft, demons, monsters, super powers, astral travel, time travel, mind-control, telepathy, possession, body swapping, werewolves and vampires and dopplegangers and anything we can't explain that happens at the shadowed fringes of our homes, towns and villages - these are all supernatural story triggers that effect us most when they begin in our real world.
H.P. Lovecraft unifies this blend of the weirdly extraordinary in his essay 'Supernatural Horror in Literature'..
"A certain atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; and there must be a hint, expressed with a seriousness and portentousness becoming its subject, of that most terrible conception of the human brain—a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space."
The crucial part of what Lovecraft observes as fundamental to this form of storytelling is the desire for audiences to entertain the idea that the natural laws which hold back chaos might not be as stable or consistent or inflexible as we perhaps would like them to be. That the very world around us, the natural real world, contains forces beyond us. And as audiences we choose to entertain those possibilities for a thrill in the short term, and for metaphoric reflection in the long term.
Now, certainly 'Supernatural' is a broad church of narratives, including forms of Horror, Magic Realism, Super Hero stories, Mystery and even certain sub-genres of Science Fiction that delve in to the 'soft' end of the hard-soft spectrum of SciFi. But this idea of natural laws subverted is the remarkably consistent component.
By a story extending supernaturally from a familiar rational world where there is an anchored reality to the weirdness and doubt becomes a major element of the drama. Characters doubt what they see, they struggle to rationalise their fear, they must learn the new rules of a defied natural order before being compelled to take action with or against powers they don't fully understand. These are all dramatic journeys that an audience can actively go on and be aligned with in a supernatural mythos.
Now, from a writing and creative perspective in having to create such supernatural forces that are entertaining and engaging, the important connection that is helpful is that between Superstition and Supernatural. These two ideas are deeply connected as Supernatural forces are those that Superstition warns and wards against.
It's an ancient idea, rooted in the narratives of mythology and folklore, that certain behaviours control, ward against, influence or evoke supernatural forces - don't walk under a ladder, don't open an umbrella inside, don't say Bloody Mary 3 times in a mirror, and indeed the very notion of formal Religion and religious practices which are inherently 'superstitious'. In such supernatural stories there's obviously no rational logic but there is a compelling and metaphoric internal logic.
The simple term for this is 'Superstitious Causality' where there is an imagined cause+effect between otherwise rationally unrelated events, a casualty not based on realty, but on supernatural reality.
And this is where the behaviour of pigeons is interesting…
"In 1948, behavioural psychologist B.F. Skinner published an article in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, in which he described his pigeons exhibiting what appeared to be superstitious behaviour. One pigeon was making turns in its cage, another would swing its head in a pendulum motion, while others also displayed a variety of other behaviours. Because these behaviours were all done ritualistically in an attempt to receive food from a dispenser, even though the dispenser had already been programmed to release food at set time intervals regardless of the pigeons' actions, Skinner believed that the pigeons were trying to influence their feeding schedule by performing these actions. He then extended this as a proposition regarding the nature of superstitious behaviour in humans"
So, this is all well and interesting from a sociological point-of-view (and for pigeon fanciers). But for a writer it is also enormously helpful as a guide to constructing a viable and exciting supernatural narrative by simply asking, What is the Superstitious Causality in your storyworld?, What behaviours are naturally illogical in 'reality' but have potency and power in the supernatural part of your storyworld? This is the crucial friction point where the drama springs in a supernatural story.
Such behaviours and casualty needs to have a clear internal logic, must be governed by rules and specificity. Such powers will form the points of discovery and revelations for your characters and for the audience to ride into such worlds on the shoulders of those characters.
In the projects Im currently working on, most of the collaborative development work has been spent on defining those causalities, those storyworld rules that govern how the supernatural works, what it can and cant do, and what rituals, behaviours and effects must take place to evoke it. Any plotting or even character work is arbitrary and weak until that work is done. The supernatural rules and their relationship to the 'natural' need to be clearly defined first.
And in truth, this is where there is so much fun to be had. The dramatic, conceptual, metaphoric problem solving that goes on to wrangle big ideas into a cohesive logic, is a great creative test for even the best writers. High-concept narrative genres provide great creative playgrounds that are rich with archetypes, structures, patterns and dramatic tools - alive with audience engagement, expectation and enthusiasm for those familiar emotional states. But if you are going to make great supernatural stories you have to bring your A game and be prepared to ask the right questions to get you past tropes and allow you to stand on the shoulders of giants.
And importantly these principles of Storyworld design and superstitious causality are as equally true and applicable in an interactive game as they are in a book or TV series. Genre is platform agnostic and what genres have in common as basis for storytelling needs to be engaged well before their differences.
On the topic of Genre and its universality, I'll be moderating a panel at the Australian Screen Producers conference - ScreenForever - entitled "Is Genre the Universal Language?"
We have a pretty impressive line up of folks on the panel including Greg Mclean, director of Wolf Creek, Chris Brown, producer of Daybreakers, and Roy Lee, producer of such standout creations as The Ring, The Grudge and more recently on TV the superb new take on Psycho, Bates Motel.

Design/Material Constraints: 1.8 2.4 1.2 The front and back ends of the phone could probably be snapped off with not too much effort. (felt a bit wobbly) Because of the use of fasteners and glue the inner and outer components were very sturdy. There were also small notches and walls that helped to keep things in place. It could easily withstand being dropped.

The folks over at Powermat Technologies are really happy these days. Why? Because Starbucks announced that it will adopt the developer's Power Matters Alliance (PMA) standard for wireless charging. The coffeehouse chain is launching 1,500 wireless charging stations at two hundred stores in the San Francisco Bay Area. Starbucks is rolling out these wireless charging stations to cities over time rather than doing it nationwide. Starbucks does not exactly say which cities or countries are ahead, but does clarify more will follow in 2015. This approach allows any problems to be identified and fixed before proceeding to the next city.
Motorola's Moto 360 unofficially works with any Qi wireless charger
We have good news for Moto 360 owners that tend to break or lose things easily. The smartwatch ships with a wireless charging cradle and the standard of such a system here is Qi. This means that any wireless charging using the Qi standard is able to step in as a replacement or backup to charge the Moto 360.
If you do intend upon using another wireless charger, MobileSyrup suggests checking for abnormal levels of heat that could potentially harm the Motorola smartwatch. Now go ahead and plant those wireless chargers throughout your home or office.

uBeam's working prototype will charge devices via ultrasound across the room
I often wonder if wireless charging hasn't caught on because people are waiting for what I call "true wireless charging." The only working method we have right now is by placing your device(s) on a charging mat, which doesn't feel all that wireless. Sure, you don't have to "plug" a wire into your device, but there is one connected to the mat that your device is sitting on.
Qi wireless charging will soon adopt short-range resonance charging
The Qi wireless charging standard is one of the most popular wireless charging solutions, but it still has limitations. Since it solely uses inductive charging, your device has to sit on a charging pad to work. That removes the hassle of plugging in a USB cable, but you're not exactly going to be using your phone if it's glued to a power mat. Fortunately, it looks like the Wireless Power Consortium is going to be adopting a new technology into the Qi standard that will allow devices to charge at a slightly longer distance.

AT&T LG G3 only supports PMA wireless charging, no Qi charging available
AT&T's LG G3 does support wireless charging, but if you've invested in any Qi charging mats, don't expect them to work. The AT&T version of the device will only work with PMA (Power Matters Alliance) charging pads, which includes offerings from Duracell and a few other companies. AT&T has pretty publicly tried to support PMA charging instead of Qi, so this move makes sense for the company, even though it's not great for customers.

Starbucks will begin rolling out wireless charging mats in stores across the US
Starbucks already offers WiFi access points for customers, but it looks like they're going a step further and adding another technological convenience to their stores in the US: wireless charging mats. Duracell and Starbucks have made a joint announcement that they'll be rolling out Duracell Powermat Spots that will be designated areas or tables where you can simply drop your (wireless charging-capable) device to juice up the battery while you wait for your coffee.
The rollout for the Powermats will start in Seattle and New York, and will gradually start hitting other stores over the year. Every store should have wireless charging stations implemented by 2015.

Sony launches wireless charging plate and cover case for Xperia Z2
We are all sick and tired of having so many wires in our house. Luckily, many Android manufacturers believe in wireless charging methods. Sony is no different and has launched two accessories for the Xperia Z2 for owners in pursuit of a wireless life. The company now has a wireless charging plate and cover case. The wireless charging standard chosen by Sony is Qi.
New wireless charging technology can charge up to 40 devices at once
Charging technology has developed a lot over the past few years, especially wireless charging technology. In fact, new wireless charging technology developed at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology that can charge a whopping 40 phones at once from up to 5 meters away.
The system is called the Dipole Coil Resonant System, and while it's still in prototype phase, it could make charging cables a thing of the past. It essentially uses 2 long magnetic coils to power devices through inductive charging. Not only could it charge your mobile devices, but it could also power things like your TV.
Samsung, Microsoft join the Wireless Power Consortium to adopt Qi wireless charging
Both Samsung and Microsoft today have announced that they are joining the Wireless Power Consortium. In doing so, the companies will adopt the Qi wireless charging standard. Samsung already belongs to, and in fact co-founded, the Alliance for Wireless Charging group; however, the A4WP agreed to work with the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) last month in order to make wireless charging a less fragmented system.
For Samsung, this is interesting as it shows they are willing to utilize another wireless charging standard. For Microsoft, however, it is a no-brainer since Nokia's handsets utilize the WPC's Qi wireless charging system. The WPC, A4WP, and PMA all have different standards, but this deal can move the three closer together in creating an overall cohesive experience for wireless charging.
Hit the break for the full press release.

Sound file in 'all new HTC One' suggests wireless charging capabilities for device
Information about the all new HTC One has been leaking for weeks now, and there doesn't seem to be a shortage in sight. We've just received word that the new device is expected to feature wireless charging capabilities.
This isn't a surprise, but it's valuable information nonetheless.
The hint was discovered after sound files from the new device were looked into— among notification and alarm sounds was an .ogg file called, "Wireless Charging Started."
The file name pretty much gives it all away. With all of these leaks coming so quickly, don't be surprised when more comes out in the next few days.

A Telegraph columnist understandably asks, basically: What's wrong with this picture – a stuffy old publisher "identified in the popular mind with … the appropriate usage of pudding forks and cheese knives" writing rules for polite social networking? But somebody at Debrett's must have a profile in MySpace, Bebo, or Facebook. They're pretty good rules, actually – except maybe for the one that says you're supposed to always use a phone or card to wish a friend happy birthday, not a comment on his/her wall. However, Washington Post writer Kim Hart, blogged this question: "When it comes to maintaining relationships, do social networks let us 'cheat' a little too much?" She was writing about a just-released survey by the Consumer Internet Barometer finding that "common pet peeves among social-networking regulars include 'lack of manners'." Debrett's five "golden rules" are at the bottom of this other Telegraph report on the subject. It'd be very interesting to ask a teenage focus group what's missing. And the Telegraph columnist's right, of course, that "codes of behaviour emerge from the users [of social sites], and are constantly modified by them." It's just that some older users don't always want to wait that long.

Ford has partnered with Wind Energy Corporation to bring clean and sustainable energy sources to its dealerships. In this new pilot program, four Ford dealerships will use wind and solar power to supplement their electricity use and offset greenhouse gas emissions.
Wind Energy will install what it calls a "Windy System." This includes a wind sail with an integrated solar array. This simple system is expected to deliver about 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. That is enough to charge the Fusion Energi 2,600 times, or two average-sized homes for a year.
Dealerships will use this energy to power buildings, charge electric vehicles, and light the dealership lot. The four participating dealerships are Dana Ford Lincoln, Staten Island, New York; Tom Holzer Ford, Farmington Hills, Michigan; The Ford Store, Morgan Hill, California; and Fiesta Ford, Indio, California.
"We are pleased to be working with Wind Energy Corporation to offer a pioneering, clean energy option to Ford dealers," said John Felice, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service for Ford, in a statement. "This is yet another innovative tool to help Ford and its dealers address a global sustainability challenge."
If this pilot program is successful, we hope Ford expands the program to include even more dealerships across the country – including our Titus-Will Ford dealership here in Tacoma.

New York's favorite hipster photographer, Brandon Stanton, founder of Humans of New York (or HONY, to those in the know!), just published a selection of portraits from his recent "unscheduled side trip" to Israel.
The photos, posted on his Humans of New York Facebook page, are no different than his other work: they are not politically driven — they just capture a snapshot of regular people's lives. Israelis and Palestinians shared their hopes and dreams with Stanton as he roamed in and around Jerusalem.

Netflix Inc said on Thursday that comedian and actor Adam Sandler has signed a deal to star in and produce four films that will be shown exclusively on the video-streaming service.
The deal moves Netflix, which produces the Emmy-winning political thriller "House of Cards" and the comedy-drama "Orange Is the New Black," further into original programming.
"His appeal spans across viewers of all ages - everybody had a favorite movie, everyone has a favorite line - not just in the U.S. but all over the world," Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement.
The four feature films from Sandler's company, Happy Madison Productions, will be shown in the nearly 50 countries where Netflix is available.
Brooklyn-born Sandler, 48, started his career as a stand-up comedian before joining the NBC comedy sketch show "Saturday Night Live."His films include "Big Daddy," "The Wedding Singer," "Grown Ups" and this year's "Men, Women & Children," which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
It was a heady gathering of "Jewish Eagles" — ADL's Abe Foxman, World Jewish Congress' **Ronald Lauder, ** AJC's David Harris, American Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations' Malcolm Hoenlein and B'nai B'rith president Allan Jacobs gathered at the Fifth Avenue residence of Germany's newly appointed Consul General Brita Wagener for the presentation of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (Knight Commander's Cross) to Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel by Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
The arrival of Elie and Marion Wiesel was greeted with explosive applause by the German consular staff. Wiesel was led to the podium next to a window overlooking a breathtaking sunlit view of Manhattan with St. Patrick's Cathedral nearby. Touting the presentation of the medal as "a humble gesture of my country showing gratitude for your lifetime achievements and relentless efforts to keep the memory alive of the worst crime in all of history—the Shoah– against the Jewish people," minister Steinmeier declared: "With this order of Merit we want to honor the writer, the philanthropist, historian, professor, the outstanding Mentsch that you are!" During the presentation Marion Wiesel never took her eyes off Elie.
Marion and Elie Wiesel // Photo by Masha Leon
Recalling Wiesel's "unforgettable visit to Buchenwald with President Obamaand Chancellor Merkel in June 2009, " Steinmeier said, "I will never forget the words you said — let me quote: 'Memories bring people together rather than set them apart. Memories are not to sow anger in our hearts, but on the contrary, a sense of solidarity…. What greatness to find such words in a place of such unspeakable terror!"
"We have taken your message into our hearts…. Over the last decades the remembrance of the Holocaust has brought Germany and Jews closer to each other…Today Israel is one of Germany's closest allies and welcomes Germany's role in the Middle East peace process…. Jewish people visit Germany…feel welcome in a country which has reinvented itself after the darkest chapters of its history."
"Thank you for your words of kindness," responded a contemplative Wiesel. "To receive a medal of recognition from Germany is not a normal thing in my life," he said softly. "The past is here. The past is not absent from the present. We remember things that happened two thousand years ago as if they happened yesterday. Every day in our prayers we remember the good, we remember the bad. The choice, is always ours — ultimately."
Noting, "my German students are some of my best," Wiesel added: "Look, when we study Jewish history [it is] full of suffering, full of pain. How can you still have faith in humankind [my] students ask. Anti-Semitism is the oldest hate still here. Why? They hate us of what we are…not for what we do…. What is it that elicits such hate?"
As Wiesel and Marion joined the Jewish leadership and German diplomatic assemblage for a post presentation lunch, I managed quick — as always in Yiddish — chat with Elie as we wished each other a gut yontef.
A still from Gilmore Girls
Today is a big day. Today is the day we reconnect with Lorelai and Rory. Today is the day Netflix starts streaming all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls.
The Gilmores themselves aren't Jewish — Richard and Emily would gasp at the thought — but the show did give us such gems as the dancing rabbi, Kirk as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, and "Oy with the poodles already!" And those mandatory Friday night dinners at the parents'? Come on, they just scream Shabbat.
But more than that, there's the theme song. Yes, that theme song.
Who knew it had a secret Jewish connection?
Carole King isn't the only Jewish thing about "Where You Lead." The lyrics, as King herself points out, come from the Hebrew Bible's Book of Ruth. Remember that chorus? Of course you do, we all know it by heart: "Where you lead, I will follow, any-anywhere that you tell me to."
Compare that to what the Moabite-born Ruth tells Naomi, her mother-in-law, about her decision to adopt the Israelite faith:
Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.
Let's take a second to visualize this: Lorelai as Naomi, Rory as Ruth. The analogy actually works pretty well.
Ruth, unnaturally close to her mother-in-law, vows to cling to Naomi to her dying breath. Rory is almost creepily attached to her mom (see: The Lorelais' First Day at Yale), to the point where they've only spent two nights apart in the first 16 years of Rory's existence.
Naomi gives Ruth pointers on how to seduce Boaz on a threshing floor; Lorelai helps Rory woo Dean with a Willy Wonka movie night (also on the floor).
The townspeople tell Naomi that Ruth is better than seven sons. The good folks of Stars Hollow wouldn't give the prestigious title of Ice Cream Queen to just anyone — only their darling Rory.
And so, as you're binging your way through TV's most excellent show, downing your 15th cup of coffee and nth donut of the day, keep your ears perked for the surprisingly Jewy theme song. It's not all about the la-la-las.
"Shimon Peres is still looking forward…never giving up on his dream that young Israelis and Palestinians will be able to overcome their differences and build a better world for both," said Ron Prosor Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations of Israel's former PM and president and an honoree at the Anti-Defamation League gala dinner at The Mandarin Oriental.
"Having served his country over seven decades…working to bring about Israeli-Palestinian peace…he is a man of the future…. seeking a new job." Prosor joked that it was "now time to do what every Israeli does when he finishes his national service — He backpacks through South America…. to Machu Picchu…." The former president's itinerary was drowned out by the 350 guests' laughter as clips from Peres' granddaughter Mika Almog's video showed Nobel Peace Prize winner Peres delivering pizza pies…milking cows…washing windows…

Declaring Peres "a man of the future," ADL National Director Abraham Foxman presented him with ADL's Distinguished Leadership Award — an Agam menorah. He lauded Peres' focus on" medical research, technological advances…" as means of "bringing about peace." A still feisty though frail ninety-one year old Peres alluded to a moral army led by the ADL with "Abe" [Foxman] as " its commander."
"In the course of the time it takes me to introduce Eric Schmidt, Foxman said, "Google will handle in the neighborhood of twelve million searches…Or, put it another way, in one month Google — the company Eric steered as CEO for more than a decade and now serves as its Executive Chairman — handles over 100 billion searches — Wow!"
Accepting the ADL Leadership award from Foxman, Schmidt said "You have dedicated your entire career to one thing I care a great deal about — tolerance and understanding against hate. The enemy of prejudice is critical thinking…I actually believe that the Internet is the best thing ever invented to combat prejudice… Hate thrives in isolation." Alluding to the teaching of prejudice and intolerance "out of sight," Schmidt declared: "The Internet allows us to detect this…. it will never be possible for someone to spew out falsehoods at the level that have built the kind of hatred that ADL has been fighting for one hundred years."
Cheerily Schmidt suggested: "97% of you sleep next to your mobile phone — spouse on one side, mobile on the other…" The audience members nodded and chuckled. "It never happens now without us knowing it…. When I was a boy growing up in Virginia…we only had Black and White. We didn't have Jewish. I watched the prejudice of the rural South of Whites against my Black friends and vowed at thirteen that I would fight it with everything I had in me…. To see it live, to see it viscerally is to understand how bad it is. I actually feel that the Internet is the best thing ever invented to combat prejudice…. the Internet allows you to find it…stop it before it takes off. That's the new world of ADL."

Despite his somewhat misleading last name, George Zimmerman is not Jewish. But according to GQ's newly-released profile of the Zimmerman family, the man who shot Trayvon Martin feels a strange connection to Anne Frank.
Robert Zimmerman, George's brother and the "Zimmerman in charge of rebranding" told the magazine that George, an aspiring painter, will likely be working on a portrait of Frank in the near future because he "identifies with her." George's painting of an American flag recently sold for $100,000.
This budding art career is all part of Robert's plan to turn his younger brother, whom he calls the "Wreck it Ralph of America," into a reality TV star. Apparently, they're really big on the Kardashians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had lunch in a Midtown Manhattan restaurant hosted by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson following his address at the United Nations General Assembly.
The lunch for five people required ever customer of the restaurant to enter through a metal detector, Page Six reported.
Netanyahu arrived at the restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, with some 30 security guards, the New York Post's gossip page reported Monday. It also reported that the prime minister ordered veal chops.
(JTA) — Last year Volkswagen donated more than a million dollars to an international youth center at Auschwitz.
In 2011 it donated $1 million to the Anti-Defamation League.
And in 2009 it was reported that the Beetle — that iconic VW creation — was actually designed by a Jew.
But the German automaker — which, like other industries in the Third Reich, cooperated with the Nazis and has been boycotted by many Jews as a result — may have finally figured out a strategy to put the stigma of its past behind it. It has recruited both the stars of the original "Star Trek" series to plug its new car, the e-Golf, in the United States.
According to Auto Evolution, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy — both Jewish — will star in the marketing campaign for VW's first electric car.
The two were apparently tapped because the "Vulcan salute and the Volkswagen logo have so much in common," the auto industry publication reported.
That salute, as any Jewish Trekkie worth his salt will know, is similar to a Jewish blessing sign – two hands forming the Hebrew letter Shin — that frequently appears on Jewish gravestones.
Could the twin appearance of Spock and Kirk convince diehard boycotters of German cars (who, as journalist Jeffrey Goldberg noted in a recent Atlantic column, rarely boycott any other German products) to drop their grudge and buy the wagon of der Volk?
Bimah me up, Scottie!
Queen Bey, meet Bibi.
A J Street campaign called "Put a Border on It" is applying Beyonce's admittedly flawless rhetoric to the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
The organization has been tweeting out a poster advertising their petition calling on Benjamin Netanyahu to halt settlement expansion in the West Bank. The slogan plays on the chorus from "All the Single Ladies" which goes "if you like it then you should have put a ring on it," replacing it with "if you like it you should have put a border on it."
"Countries should only build within their recognized borders," the petition reads. "Instead of announcing new settlements, Israel should announce its commitment to peace: offer a serious proposal for a secure border between Israel and Palestine, recognized by the entire world. Israel needs peace; the Palestinians need a state. It's time to put a border on it."

At the 2003 American Theatre Wing Gala then emcee Harvey Fierstein got a roaring reaction to his vow "I'd do anything for [then Wing's chairman of the board] Isabelle Stevenson even wear men's clothing."
At this year's gala at the Plaza honoring Dame Angela Lansbury, he brought the house down with his rendition of "The Man In The Moon" from "Mame." The evening featuring a roster of well-wishers and performers including Broadway wunderkind producer Harold Prince who in 2013 accepted his Wings' award from Lansbury.
During the pre-dinner mingling and red carpet Q&A I mentioned to Ms. Lansbury — whom I had seen in 1979 in" Sweeney Todd" and most recently in the 2012 revival of Gore Vidal's "The Best Man"— that I had just seen her in a Turner Classic Movies airing of "National Velvet" in which she stars as Elizabeth Taylor's sister. I also mentioned that in 1942, as a refugee in Canada, I had answered a movie magazine ad looking for a "young girl who is an expert horse rider and spoke English with a British accent. " I had never ridden a horse and my English fluency was in its infancy — and so I lost out to Liz." Lansbury laughed heartily.
Named Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and promoted to Dame Commander in 2014, Lansbury made TV history as Jessica Fletcher in "Murder She Wrote"— the longest-running detective series in TV history.
Among the glitterati at the gala was Lansbury's "Best Man" co-star, the extraordinary James Earl Jones. Coming off the red carpet with his stunning blonde wife Cecelia (aka Ce Ce) at his side, he was approached by a trio of young ladies with tape recorders in hand. "What was the name of the first girl you ever kissed?" they asked the multi award winning — including Lifetime Achievement Oscar-winning actor. Blinking his pale blue eyes a dumfounded Jones looked for a quick exit. "I don't remember," he began…. I quickly interrupted with "What was your favorite role?" He smiled and in a booming voice he declared, "Of Mice and Men."
I greeted gala co-chair Sir Howard Stringer with "Men of Harlech" the Welsh national anthem — as I have done in the past. Chatted with Judy Collins whom I first met at the December 7, 1984 "Harold Leventhal Presents" Carnegie Hall event. Chatted with Pia Lindstrom and Broadway producers Stewart Lane, Bonnie Comley and Jim Dale who, as star of the 1980 musical "Barnum" became high-wire walking mentor to Mike Burstyn who followed in his "footsteps."
There were performances by Glen Close, James More Inglehart, Christine Ebersole and Len Cariou. The award to Dame Lansbury was presented by Harold Prince, James Earl Jones, Sir Howard Springer and The Wing's chairman of the Board of Trustees William Ivey Long. with the Wings' president Heather Hichens lauded for her dedication to advancing artistic excellence and nurturing theatre's next generation on stage, behind the scenes and in the audience. Bravo.
You may have heard by now (and if not, SPOILER ALERT) that there was a tragic death on the last night's premiere of "The Simpsons." Rabbi Hyman Krustofski, on-and-off estranged father to Krusty the Clown, has left us for the magical shul in the sky known as "Jewish Heaven." He was 74 years old.
Voiced by comedian Jackie Mason, Rabbi Krustofski was born and raised in the Lower East Side of Springfield (state still unknown). There, he raised a son, Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofski — better known by his chain-smoking children's entertainer persona, Krusty the Clown.
Like many a father before him, Krustofski's dreams of his son following in the family business were dashed when Krusty expressed his desire to become a clown. Unable to accept his son's decision, Hyman disowns his son and the two are estranged for many years.
(Fun fact: Jackie Mason is descended from a long line of rabbis, and broke with tradition to become an entertainer.)
It takes the combined efforts to Bart and Lisa Simpson to reconcile father and son. In 2003's "Today I am a Clown" Krusty decides to have a midlife bar mitzvah. Hyman is thrilled — until Krusty, perpetual attention-whore, decides to televise the event in a comback bid.
"Krusty the Klown's Wet 'n' Wild Bar Mitzvah" is a big hit, but Krusty decides to salvage his relationship with Hyman by having a second, more meaningful bar mitzvah at Temple Beth Springfield.
Hyman also appeared in "Once Upon a Time in Springfield," in which he was to preside over Krusty's 15th wedding to co-host Princess Penelope. Ultimately, the ceremony gets called off, but not before Rabbi Krustofski slips in an intermarriage joke:
"Friends, loved ones," he says "we are gathered here today to marry a Jew and — a Congregationalist? Is that even a thing?"
Last year, "Simpsons" producer Al Jean mentioned that a character would die in the season opener. "I'll give you a clue that the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character, but I won't say who it is," he said. Mason won an Emmy for playing Krustofski in 1992.
As befits any Jewish patriarch, Krustofski died mid-sentence, guilt-tripping his son; his last words to Krusty were: "If you want to know my honest opinion of you, you've always been… eh."
Are you a nice Jewish boy and want more attention when you're out at a bar? Perhaps you want a better chance at nabbing that new job? Well, you're in for a rude awakening. It's a sad fact of life that members of the tribe are known to be, well, on the shorter side. Why not own it?
That's where Shoes by Jews comes in.
These stylish, height-increasing shoes stand out from the hoards of other options, with their light and stylish designs that can add up to 3 inches to your height. And with prices ranging from $122 to $199, they won't break the bank.
Founder Shawn Michael, 33, of San Francisco says the idea for the shoes came to him and his Jewish friends when they were out at a San Francisco bar and they realized they were all 4 to 5 inches shorter than other men there. One joke followed on the heels of another, and before Michael knew it he was 3 inches taller and changing the game for his fellow vertically challenged brethren.
With researchers at the University of Florida finding that with every extra inch of height a man could increase his yearly salary by $789, along with findings from a Rice University and the University of North Texas poll that 55% of women preferred to date taller men, looks like Shoes by Jews is here just in the nick of time to make men average or even a cut above average.
The Forward's Maia Efrem spoke with Michael about shoes, Jews and why there it's time to stand taller.
This week marks the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live," which is entering its 40th season. Happy birthday guys! To mark the occasion, we've assembled a list of our 10 all-time favorite Jewish moments on SNL (they're like butter, so good Coffee Talk and Hanukkah Harry didn't make the cut):
Gilda Radner scores as Emily Litella on a Chevy Chase-hosted Weekend Update segment, with her classic talking-head rant trying to figure out what all the fuss is about over Soviet Jewelry.
Best line: "Save Soviet jewelry?! Where are we going to put it? I say keep it over THERE, with all their ballet dancers!"
Meet Evan, a 6-year-old from a broken home who frequents Benihana and communicates entirely via Borscht Belt jokes.
Best line, delivered to the chef: "I love your showmanship but careful with those knives, you're giving me flashbacks to my bris. I don't know if I should clap or cover my shmeckle!"

Attention, suit-lovers — this one's for you.
According to Vanity Fair, Lena Dunham will be producing an HBO documentary about Bindle & Keep, the Jewish owned and Brooklyn-based bespoke tailoring company whose custom suits and shirts have drawn a following in the transgender community.
So excited about this doc @campsucks and I are producing! Bindle & Keep: breaking down binaries, making smart suits: http://t.co/raHHLCMcv4— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 22, 2014
"Three Suits" will follow Bindle & Keep clients as they go through the process of having their custom suits made, while "examining the significance of the process for a set of customers with complex gender identities."
"We were totally blown away when Lena's team first reached out to us—the art we practice is so specialized that it was hard to believe heavy hitters were taking an interest," Bindle & Keep founder and owner Daniel Friedman told Vanity Fair.
Dunham's "Girls" co-showrunner Jenni Konner will also be producing.
Curious? Read the Forward's Q&A with Daniel Friedman here.
You might know comedian Ben Gleib from his regular appearances as a round-table commentator on "Chelsea Lately," or from his podcast, "Last Week on Earth With Ben Gleib." Perhaps you're familiar with his work on NBC's "The Real Wedding Crashers" or with his stint on the same network's "Last Comic Standing." But now, the 36-year-old Los Angeles native and funnyman, née Ben Nathan Gleiberman, has a new title: game show host.
Named by Esquire magazine in 2007 as one of "the six comedians who could be comedy's next big thing, " Gleib started duties as host on Game Show Network's new show "Idiotest," gently and not-so-gently poking fun at contestants as he guided them through a series of brainteasers.
On a more serious note, Gleib spoke candidly about the Israeli-Palestinian war on his podcast this past summer, severely critiquing Hamas and lamenting the loss of life on both sides of the conflict.
The Forward's Margaret Eby caught up with Gleib to chat about the end of "Chelsea Lately" and about the idiocy of everyday life.
Margaret Eby: You just appeared on the last installment of "Chelsea Lately." What will you miss most about the show?
Ben Gleib: It was the time of my life doing "Chelsea" for the last seven years. I'll miss the privilege of going on international television and introducing my comedy to the world. It was so immediate and unscripted and raw, and it's such a rare thing to have. Chelsea [Handler] has the fastest wit on TV; she's such a raw, honest and unforgiving person. It was a lot of fun to spar with her. And to take my fair share of abuse, which keeps me humble.
Hiring? Shimon Peres is your man.
A newly released video (in Hebrew with English subtitles) from the Peres Center for Peace has the former president seeking help from an unemployment office.
Turns out, the 91-year-old shows an impressive range of skills. from pumping gas to pizza delivery, with a skydiving session or two thrown in for good measure. Given his ability to perform these tasks with a straight face, we would settle for a Shimon Peres TV show (with your host, "Shimi P!")
The clip, while silly and — at times— actually funny, also offers not-so-subtle messages showcasing Peres' insights on everything from Israeli technology to the peace process.
Watch the full clip below:
Every year, a great day dawns on Middle Earth. I'm speaking of course, of September 22 — Hobbit Day, for those who didn't grow up on a steady diet of tales of rings, angry wizards, and small creatures with big feet.
According to "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings," both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins are said to be born on September 22, though on different years (Bilbo in the year of 2890 and Frodo in the year 2968 in the Third Age — yes, I looked it up. This is, sadly, not knowledge I carry in my brain at all times).
In addition to celebrating two of the Shire's most adventurous citizens, Hobbit Day also launches Tolkien Week, celebrated every year since it was launched in 1978 by the American Tolkien Society.
Which brings us to the Jewish connexion. No, Frodo and Bilbo are not secret Jews (believe me, I tried to make that theory work). And as Seth Rogovoy pointed out in his review of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey": "Sometimes, a bearded, money-grubbing dwarf is just a bearded, money-grubbing dwarf and not an evil, anti-Semitic stand-in for Jews."
But J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of Middle Earth, Elvish, Sauron and the One Ring, was something of a Judeophile. When asked to provide verification of his Aryan status for a German publisher that wanted to put out a German translation of his work, Tolkien refused:
"I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware noone (sic) of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people."
Describing the incident to a friend, he wrote:
"Do I suffer this impertinence because of the possession of a German name, or do their lunatic laws require a certificate of arisch origin from all persons of all countries?… Personally I should be inclined to refuse to give any Bestatigung [confirmation] (although it happens that I can), and let a German translation go hang. In any case I should object strongly to any such declaration appearing in print. I do not regard the (probable) absence of all Jewish blood as necessarily honourable; and I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine."
And so, on this most auspicious of days, we here at the Forward wish Frodo and Bilbo Baggins a very happy birthday! (Pro-tip: If you want to celebrate in a quiet and non-life threatening way, maybe make sure Gandalf's invite gets lost on the way)
Welcoming the overflow crowd at the Jan Karski Humanitarian Award 2014 ceremony at the Polish Consulate honoring Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Executive Vice President of the New York Board of Rabbis, and Polish rescuer Irena Sendler, was consul general Ewa Junczyk-Ziomecka who thanked members of the Polish-Jewish Dialogue Committee — Polish American Congress, the N.Y. Downstate Division and the Polish-Jewish Dialogue Committee — for their dedication to their noble mission."
Addressing an assemblage that included a sizeable number of Polish-Jewish survivors, cantor Joseph Malovany and the Forward's publisher Samuel Norich, the consul thanked The Committee — whose members are predominantly Catholic priests and rabbis — "for their dedication to their noble mission" and amplified that "the Jan Karski Humanitarian Award ceremony is a perfect example of fruitful cooperation between Polish diaspora organizations on the one hand and American-Jewish organizations on the other." She noted that "Pope John Paul II, who visited a synagogue in Rome and prayed at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, considered anti-Semitism a sin and called the Jews…'Christians' brothers-in faith,' During his papacy he encouraged a very difficult Polish-Jewish dialogue" believing that "this dialogue was necessary to overcome stereotypes and prejudices."

Accepting the award from Rabbi Moshe Birnbaum of the Jewish Center of Kew Gardens Hills, Potasnik reflected upon the nobility of some Poles who "at a time when Poles risked their own families' lives by helping Jews" like "the Polish Catholic family who hid Jews even when their children got scarlet fever sharing all with their Jewish charges."
There was a video presentation of Janina Zghrzembska " remembering her mother Irena Sendler who saved over 2500 Jewish children she smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto. And a delightful treat was the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church of Maspeth Queens' Children Choir whose beautifully articulated Polish repertoire included a song about God and David, one about Noah's Ark and [in English] "We Are The World." The assemblage was informed that the choir included Polish children of the Moslem faith.
The Jan Karski award is named in honor of a Polish patriot, a Catholic, and hero of the Polish Resistance, who brought news to the West of the destruction of Eastern European Jewry who had been secretly smuggled into the Warsaw Ghetto by a Zionist and a Bundist to be an eyewitness to the destruction. He is recognized at Yad Vashem as "Righteous Among Nations."
Contributors to this event included representatives of the Flushing Jewish Community Council, Queens Jewish Historical Society, Father Witold Mroziewski, of Holy Cross Church, Maspeth, Queens and Monsignor Peter Zendzian of St. Matthias Church Ridgewood, Queens who read the invocation.
I would not be writing this were it not for a Polish peasant woman who risked her life and that of her family to hide my mother and me in her hut — next to a Nazi guard cabin! — during our flight from Warsaw. When my mother offered to pay her something she refused and said, "It is my Christian duty." She also told my mother that during WW I, as a young girl, someone hid her and saved her life and she felt the obligation to "return the favor."

Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn have a very special talent — and it's not acting.
Apparently, the Jewish mother-daughter duo spend quality time together interacting with ghosts.
The subject came up during an interview with British talk show host Alan Carr, set to air later tonight. Here are a couple of soundbites (via The Independent):
Me and my mum Goldie can see dead people," said a dead pan Hudson.
"It is not really seeing, it is feeling a spirit; a fifth energy."
"I believe in energy. I believe our brains can manifest into visual things."
Cue the "Sixth Sense" memes.
Ahoy mateys!
Arrr ye ready? September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aye aye! To celebrate, we've rounded up some of the most fearsome Jews ever to sail the seas.
Thar be more than ye think.
This French-American pirate, who sailed the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19th century, claimed Jewish ancestry through his grandparents in a journal entry. When the United States passed the Embargo Act of 1807, prohibiting American trade with England France, he smuggled tobacco and sugar into New Orleans.
Fueled by a thirst for revenge for the Spanish Inquisition, this Sephardic pirate helped plan one of the biggest pilferages against Spain. In 1628, Henriques and Dutch West India Co. Admiral Piet Hein, boarded a number of ships loaded with gold and silver from the New World off the coast of Cuba. The total haul was worth approximately $1 billion USD in today's currency. According to the Jewish Journal, Henriques was never caught, and founded his own pirate colony on an island off the coast of Brazil. When the Portuguese reconquered Brazil, Henriques fell in with Henry Morgan, one of the most ruthless privateers ever to sail along the Spanish Main.
Another Sephardic pirate — sensing a trend? Born in Spain, Sinan Reis and his family fled the Inquisition and settled in Ottoman-ruled ruled Smyrna (now Izmir, Turkey), where he sailed as a Barbary corsair under the famed admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa. His victory at the 1538 Battle of Preveza earned him the nickname "Great Jew" by the Spanish. Reis later become Supreme Ottoman naval commander. He is buried in Jewish cemetery in Albania.
No one can rock the Puffy Shirt pirate look quite like Jerry Seinfeld. We'll let him explain how he feels about it:
