Hawaiian day [5/12/2003 13:20:59]
We did a Hawaiian themed day. The agents were told to dress Hawaiian (meaning Hawaiian shirts, surfer shorts, flip flops, etc...). Fresh pineapple and other fruits were provided in the morning. Coconut cookies were served in the after noon.
We didn't have any games, but potential games would be Hula Hoop contests and limbo contests. :)
One problem: We had one supervisor(!) dress up in a coconut shell bikini top and a grass skirt. Be sure to specify that the dress must be tasteful and work appropriate.
Another is Cowboy day [5/12/2003 13:24:15]
Everyone dressed up in cowboy boots, hats and jeans and jean shirts.
For lunch we had barbeque chicken, bked beans,corn on the cob, etc...
This went well, but it was a very simple thing.
(Not sure how well either translates outside the US)

Traditional day.... [5/12/2003 15:00:38]
Very interesting topic.....
Since our call center is in India ... and INDIA being the land of colours and of dreams. The land of varied cultures and rich traditions. The land whose very name evokes visions of snow capped peaks, gushing rivers and fertile plains. Of the many things that reflect India's myriad moods are parched deserts and palm-fringed beaches, verdant fields and rugged mountain passes, cooling breezes and hot winds. The country is proud of its ancient civilization and the rich, composite cultural heritage. There are 28 states and seven union territories in India and each one has its own culture and significance.
With a billion people of different ethnic backgrounds, culture, speaking different languages, practicing different religions living together... we do a day called the "Traditional Day" .. where every one .. would come to work in their traditional outfits... this makes the entire envoronment very lively and bright.... and we may also choose to play some very soft instrumental music on the shop floor on these days...! It becomes a perfect blend of the east and the west... Traditional men and women talking to their customers in the American and the British accents... !! Apart from that each team is requested to make a traditional dish... for dinner...... and its like tasting the food from 25 different states on that day... makes the entire thing a whole new experience!
And with the onset of CHIRISTMAS .... coming... the whole place is already decorated and we plan to have a big party where a team would be singing the carols and the christmas songs.. and much more....!

Is it just fun or whats the meaning? [5/12/2003 16:21:32]
Good topic and I note the topic is filed under the planning, strategy and management. I also note the topic specifically talks about a "motivational activity."
Let's look at the business case - in the same way one would assess the impact of any business intiative be it new hardware, machinery or process etc etc.
What do you hope to achieve? Are your objectives SMART?
How will you measure the result?
From a purely training and development perspective, practioners would advise against activities that dont have a proven effect increasing motivation/morale/productivity or the cost/benefit analysis is not proven.
Party pooper I hear you cry! No I'm simply trying to counter that assumption that if you do something FUN its going to improve productivity. Thats not the reason we have training and development departments and we do not apply the same fuzzy thinking to any other business transaction. Training and motivation are not different in this respect.
My advice is to be clear on what you hope to achieve, make SMART objectives and measure the outcome otherwise how will you justify it next year if met with the response "Well I'm sorry we dont have the budget this year even though it was a lot of fun".
Let's re-examine this issue as an exercise in planning, strategy and management (were it belongs) and how we can grow and learn from it.
>>>and any hiccups
Potential ones could include.
How will you include people who dont want to be included? Who dont enjoy participation? Who dont see the point? Who find it embarrasing ? Who dont have things to wear?
Good luck, I hope it works out for you Jubril. I've attended a few in my time, were they fun - yes? Certainly it improved morale as measured by morale sheets but did it improve motivation or productivity......that's up to you to measure.

#27 Steve Busby
Steve was perhaps the greatest pitcher in franchise history – Steve Busby. Busby had a tremendous arm, but injuries capped his talent to a brief, but brilliant career. He would rank much higher on this list but for the fact he basically pitched just three full seasons in the big leagues.
Busby was primarily a two-pitch pitcher, almost exclusively relying on his fastball and slider.
I'm a big believer in trying to make things simple; I wasn't trying to stand out there and choose between five pitches, so I tried to make it real basic and throw a lot of strikes.
Steve Busby was a southern California kid, graduating from Fullerton High School, the son of a former professional football player. He was drafted by the San Francisco Giants out of high school, but elected to attend USC to play for their historic baseball program, and possibly play for the historic football team as well. The football career never panned out when Busby injured his knee, but he did become a standout pitcher under legendary baseball coach Rod Dedeaux. His Trojans won back-to-back championships in 1970 and 1971, with Busby on the mound in Omaha for the 1971 Championship Game.
The Royals selected Busby in the second round of the 1971 draft and he immediately impressed, allowing just three earned runs (albeit eleven unearned runs) in forty innings of work in A ball in his first professional season. The next year, Busby found himself back in Omaha, this time as a member of the Royals top minor league affiliate. He finished the year with a 3.19 ERA in 217 innings with a league leading 221 strikeouts. He was a September call-up, pitching a complete game victory in his very first start, foreshadowing the workmanlike effort he would display in his Major League career. He would make five big league starts – completing three of them – with a 1.58 ERA. On October 3, a few days after his 23rd birthday, he finally suffered his first loss.
Busby figured to be in the rotation in 1973, but he simply dazzled new Royals manager Jack McKeon, going two starts in spring training without allowing a hit (again, a foreshadow of things to come), and finishing with a 0.60 ERA in thirty innings of Grapefruit League action. His performance earned the rookie an Opening Day start in his native Southern California against the Angels. Busby would struggle in that start, and in his next three starts, failing to make it past the second inning in an April 20th game against the White Sox.
In his next start, Busby took an 8.04 ERA with him to Detroit to face the Tigers, the defending American League East champions. He tossed the first no-hitter in Royals history – walking six, but allowing just seven balls to leave the infield. It was just his tenth career Major League start.
"I was so wild that game that every time I threw a strike, it was a surprise. But I never really considered it a strong possibility until the ninth inning. I knew what was going on, but it wasn't until the ninth inning that it started to creep into the forefront of my mind. Then I just had fun."
Despite the no-no, Busby would continue to struggle, dropping five straight games in May, leaving his ERA close to six. Busby would begin to turn things around in the hot summer months, winning eight of ten decisions in July and August, including a thirteen strikeout performance against Milwaukee on July 10. He would end the year with a mediocre 16-15 record and a 4.23 ERA, but his 174 strikeouts were ninth in the league. His 105 walks, however, were seventh in the league. Nonetheless, Busby finished third in Rookie of the Year voting and was named Rookie Pitcher of the Year by The Sporting News. The Royals were counting on the young right-hander to be part of their push for contention in 1974.
"There's no reason Busby can't win 25 games. He won 16 last year. Now he knows the hitters, his control is better and he has confidence in himself."
-Royals Manager Jack McKeon
Busby initially struggled in April, but got things going in May, winning four straight starts thanks in part to a newly developed curveball. On June 19 in Milwaukee, Busby walked Brewers first baseman George Scott in the second inning on a 3-2 pitch. That would be the only baserunner he would allow all night. He retired 27 of 28 hitters to record his second career no-hitter.*
*Bill James devised a formula for predicting the likelihood of a pitcher tossing a no-hitter. Steve Busby was the least likely pitcher to throw two no-hitters, out of all the pitchers with multiple no-hitters.
"I wasn't nervous as much as fighting myself to keep my concentration. But this was my biggest thrill of all, bigger than last time, because this was my type of game. I didn't make a whole lot of bad pitches and made them hit the ball. That's what I have to do to help the ballclub."
Busby would go on to toss a pair of three hit shutouts over the next few weeks and in July was named to his first All-Star game. He reeled off eight wins in nine starts over the summer and finished the year with a franchise record twenty-two wins. He was a workhorse for the Royals, making thirty-eight starts and completing twenty of them. His 292 1/3 innings pitched were ninth in the league. Busby significantly improved his control, dropping his walks per nine innings from 4.0 to 2.8, sacrificing strikeouts, which also fell from 6.6 per nine innings to 6.1
"I feel it would be a sin not to use our defense. Instead of going for strikeouts, I try to throw strikes, to make batters hit the ball."
Busby earned the Opening Day start in 1975, and got off to a terrific start that season, winning seven of his first ten decisions and tossing back-to-back complete game shutouts in May. He reeled off four straight wins in June that included a ten-inning outing against the Indians and a twelve-inning outing against the Angels. In his next start against Texas, Busby noticed his arm felt different. It didn't have the strength it once did. The problem lingered with him all season, although he continued to pitch well, throwing five complete games after that point. He would finish with eighteen wins, eighteen complete games and a career best 3.08 ERA.
Wins Above Replacement, American League Pitchers 1973-1975
1. Bert Blyleven MIN 22.2
2. Gaylord Perry CLE-TEX 20.9
3. Nolan Ryan CAL 16.7
4. Catfish Hunter OAK-NYY 15.7
5. Wilbur Wood CHW 15.6

7. Jim Kaat MIN-CHW 15.1
8. Steve Busby KCR 15.1
9. Jim Palmer BAL 14.9
10. John Hiller DET 13.8
The soreness in his arm did not subside in the spring of 1976, so the Royals placed Busby on the disabled list to begin the year. He came back in mid-April and bounced back with a complete game win against the Yankees in May. But many observers noticed his fastball had lost its zip. Questions began to arise as to whether Busby was already finished.
"I hate to feel like I'm costing the other 24 guys on the team money. But I am. Every bad pitch I make, every mistake – its bad for everybody. My arm felt good tonight. It feels good now. It doesn't hurt. But what difference does it make? What'd I do with it? The results are all that count."
After his complete game, he made just one start in which he pitched into the seventh – and it would be his last of the season. He had torn his rotator cuff. In July, the team announced his season was over and he would undergo surgery – the first player to undergo such surgery by Dr. Frank Jobe.
Busby would pitch just three innings in 1977 – all in a minor league rehab start, before injuring his knee. By then the Royals had already written him off. They were contending for championships, and had already acquired right-hander Jim Colborn to replace Busby.
"They couldn't count on me, and I don't blame them. I couldn't count on myself."
Busby surprised observers by making the 1978 rotation and won his first start. But he was knocked around in his next three starts and was optioned to the minors. In 1979, he made the team as a long reliever and spot starter, making twelve starts. He posted a 3.63 ERA but walked 64 in 94 innings. His fastball velocity was noticeably down.
Busby underwent knee surgery in the spring of 1980, but was healthy enough to make the team as a reliever. He was sent to Omaha in June, but came back to make six starts in July and August. On August 26, he allowed five runs in six innings, but defeated the Brewers for his first win of the year. His ERA was 6.17. A few days later, the Royals gave him his unconditional release.
The next spring, Whitey Herzog – who had managed Busby in Kansas City and was now at the helm in St. Louis – offered Busby a tryout. At the end of spring training, the Cardinals gave Busby a chance to pitch for their top minor league affiliate. Busby elected to retire. He was thirty-one years old.
Managers Jack McKeon has born a lot of the criticism for Busby's injuries with many claiming McKeon was asleep at the wheel, allowing his young right-hander to pitch until his arm fell off. Busby disputes accounts he was allowed to throw as many as 200 pitches an outing, but with his lack of command, and the number of complete games he threw, it is likely he threw between 100-130 pitches nearly every time out.
However Busby was not alone in his ridiculous workloads. Recall this was a much lower offensive environment than at any time since then, so pitchers did not necessarily need to go max-effort on every hitter. It was fairly routine for pitchers to go over 250 innings pitched in a season – 254 pitchers tossed at least 250 innings in a season in the 1970s. From 1973-1975 – Busby's peak seasons – nineteen pitchers tossed more innings than his 791. Pitchers on that list include those that battled injuries in their 30s – Jim Palmer, Andy Messersmith, Catfish Hunter, and those that lost their effectiveness in their 30s – Vida Blue, Carl Morton, Ken Holtzman. But it also includes many that were very effective well into their 30s – Nolan Ryan, Bert Blyleven, Tom Seaver. Its not clear this divide is any different than a list of the top twenty pitchers from a decade ago, when pitchers began to be more protected with pitch counts.
It is quite possible that Busby was going to suffer injuries no matter what – that there was something about his delivery, something about his arm – that lent itself to breaking down. It is also quite possible that if Busby has his injury today, it is identified earlier and recovers much better. In any case, Busby appears to be at peace with what happened.
"I would've liked to have seen what would've happened. That's part of the deal, part of the business. It's not easy to deal with, but it happens. I was fortunate to be on some good ballclubs and be around a bunch of great guys. I'd never give that back."

I've always wondered if Busby would have been a Hall of Fame pitcher if he hadn't gotten injured. Such is the life of a major league pitcher, though, there are few of them that have a rubber arm.

Exploring the Culture of Little Havana
A Learning Community Project (School of Education, the College of Arts and Science and Eaton Residential College, University of Miami)
E. Provenzo and R. Montes
Overview and Philosophy Underlying this Project
As professors living and teaching in Miami, Florida, we are acutely aware of cross-cultural and racial issues within the classroom as well as in the community at large. We are also aware of the fact that our students, coming to Miami from a variety of locations, and with varied experiences and cultural backgrounds, bring with them stereotypes and misconceptions about cultures that may be different from their own.
The initial intent of our learning community was to expand the cross-cultural sophistication and awareness of our students. We undertook this process of cultural examination by focusing on the Cuban community in South Florida, paying particular attention to Miami's Little Havana, the historical and geographical center of the Cuban exile community in America. Centered around SW Eighth street, known affectionately as Calle Ocho, Little Havana is a 25 block enclave populated by restaurants, botanicas, small shops, car dealerships, record stores and cigar factories. However, the neighborhood is much more than just shops and cafeterias selling strong Cuban coffee. Once off the strip, the neighborhood is comprised of a variety of single family homes, duplexes, and apartments. These homes provide the people who give life to Calle Ocho's many shops and restaurants. Areas of great cultural and historical significance, such as Domino Park and Cuban Memorial Boulevard, offer these residents a focal point for community gatherings, celebrations, day to day socializing, and political demonstrations.
Visitors to this web site should also realize that Little Havana's reputation as the center of the Cuban-American community in South Florida does not alter the fact that Cuban culture suffuses many other areas and communities in the region. Hialeah, one of Florida's larger cities, is a major Hispanic enclave and is a good example of one of the many sites for Cuban culture in Dade County. Such sites can also be found in suburbs such as Kendall, Westchester, and Miami Lakes. For this project, our focus is much narrower and looks primarily at a two or three block area of Little Havana. Our reason for choosing this area was because of the incredible, cultural richness of this small strip.
In fact, for example, within just a few blocks of the area we studied, one can find a significant enclave of recently arrived Central Americans, emerging in what was previously Northeast Little Havana. This enclave has come to be known as Little Managua and in its own way is as distinctive from Little Havana as other ethnic neighborhoods (e.g. Little River's Haitian community or the North Miami Beach Jewish community) found throughout South Florida. We hope, in future classes, to explore these other neighborhoods as well.
Eventually, we plan on creating a network of cultural webs, similar to our current Little Havana project. The purpose and intent of these prospective projects is both educational and archival in nature. Our wish is that our students in the learning community will become more aware of the variety of cultures that surround them during their stay in a major, urban center like Miami. In doing so, we believe that we can contribute to the creation of individuals better suited to work as competent educators in the schools and thrive as active, insightful citizens in the complex multi-cultural society emerging within the United States.
The essays included as part of this web site are the work of first semester students at the University of Miami. The students worked diligently throughout this fourteen-week period. They selected their own area of study, spent significant amount of time researching Cuban culture in the library and out in the field, and wrote and revised several drafts of the papers included within. What are presented here are the students' voices speaking a new idiom – the language of cultural analysis.
Becoming more culturally aware was one of the main purposes of both the TAL 101 course and ENG 105. At times, this was a difficult process. In our first field trip, for example, we visited a Bahamian-American cemetery. Many of the Hispanic students on the trip were upset over the idea of visiting an historical cemetery. They felt, walking through the gravesites, that this was a disrespectful and maudlin activity. With the help of Dr. Paul George, a local historian, we tried to convey how burial customs and attitudes are different across various societies. For example, Professor Eugene Provenzo grew up with the belief that, in the northeast, cemeteries were memorial places and parks to be visited and appreciated. In contrast, Professor Rafael Montes grew up with the belief that cemeteries were places to visit briefly, leave flowers, pray, and exit as quickly as possible. Our experience at the cemetery provided a valuable teaching moment that allowed us to begin to explore the differences each of us brought to class as both teachers and learners.
Another revealing moment over the course of the semester was when Professor Provenzo sat in on one of Professor Montes' classes and the latter began to teach exclusively in Spanish. Students who had been highly articulate throughout the semester suddenly became silent. One of the shier students in the class, a young Puerto Rican woman, suddenly became animated and engaged in a way that class had never seen before. Although the composition course was not focused on the process of teaching, Professor Montes was imparting a lesson about inclusion and exclusion as part of an exercise in language and cultural fluency. It was this type of experience that provided the framework for the development of the essays and cultural explorations that make up the main content of this website.
The two of us strongly believe that our being paired as part of a learning community significantly expanded not only the experience of our students but our own experience as well. Teaching is by definition a dialectic process. It involves the interaction between the teacher and the student in hopes of achieving a synthesis of ideas and perspectives. By having not just one but two expert voices, separated by disciplines, we were provided with a unique, shared perspective. This was a benefit not only to our students, but we also believe to ourselves.
In addition, the matching of a senior professor with a talented beginner in the field infused energy in both directions. As a senior professor, it is not considered appropriate to talk too much about improving one's skills or renewing oneself as an instructor. Yet, there is the inevitable weariness that sets in after a certain number of years of teaching the same course regardless of interest and knowledge of the field. The perspective of teaching with a younger colleague and sharing an alternative vision and discipline is perhaps one of the most useful aspects of any learning community. For Professor Montes, the perspective of an older and more experienced colleague motivated him to engage in new teaching methods, gain perspective on his own teaching, and be introduced to new aspects of technology that had not been part of his teaching up until this time.
Other opportunities from this particular collaboration include the fact that while Professor Provenzo had studied various aspects of Cuban culture throughout the years, he was not a member of the Cuban-American community. Professor Montes, on the other hand, was an "insider" who could act as a cultural guide through many of the more subtle aspects of what we were trying to accomplish with our students throughout this examination of Cuban-American culture. By combining these two voices, the students of our learning community were able to view multiple perspectives on the culture we were exploring with them. This ultimately made them unafraid to add their own particular points of view and to add their voice to the dialogue.
Professors Provenzo and Montes would like to thank a number of individuals who've, through their expertise, generosity, and support, made this project a viable enterprise and we hope a compelling, cultural document: Dr. John Masterson, Vice Provost; Dr. Liz Rothlein, Associate Dean, School of Education; Dr. Ron Newman, Assistant Provost for Instructional Advancement; Dr. Jeanne Schumm, Chairperson, Dept. of Teaching and Learning; Dr. Tom Goodman, Chairperson, Dept. of English Composition; Dr. Diana Valle-Riestra, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Teaching and Learning; Dr. Paul George, Professor, Miami-Dade Community College; Alan Whitney, Computer Specialist.

U.S. plan to arm militias scares some in Afghanistan
MAIDAN SHAHR, Afghanistan A U.S.-backed plan to create militias and give them guns to fight the Taliban is drawing criticism from local authorities in areas where the first units are being rolled out, raising questions as to whether the effort can succeed in Afghanistan.
The militias have been compared to the U.S.-fostered Awakening Councils in Iraq, which have often been credited with reducing violence there, and are similar to neighboring Pakistan's tribal armies which also have been touted as a success.
On Saturday, Afghanistan's interior minister announced the program had begun, and that the United States would be paying for all aspects, including buying Kalashnikov automatic rifles for members of the Afghan Public Protection Force.
One skeptical Afghan official said only criminals would join because most citizens wouldn't want to face the Taliban in combat. And critics question the wisdom of handing out weapons to Afghans when the government and U.N. have been trying to reduce the number of arms in the country. They fear the plan could stoke rivalries between ethnic groups with a bloody past.
"One of the causes of violence in Afghanistan is because most people do not give up their weapons. Now you want to again give weapons to the villages?" said Mohammed Hussain Fahimi, the deputy of the provincial council in Wardak, where officials say the units will be first deployed. "We never learn our lessons."
Wardak lies southwest of the capital of Kabul and is increasingly falling under Taliban control, illustrating the growing influence of the Islamic insurgents in the years since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
Fahimi was one of several government officials and residents interviewed in Wardak by The Associated Press last week, all of whom expressed skepticism about the plan.
President Barack Obama has said stabilizing Afghanistan will be a U.S. priority and plans to nearly double the number of American troops from the roughly 34,000 in the country today.
He has not commented on the militia plan, but it has been endorsed by Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command and the former top commander in Iraq whose outreach to Sunni sheiks helped oust militants from key areas and sharply decreased attacks.
Officials say the force will be guarding highways, schools, clinics and other government institutions. It is still not clear how large and widespread the militias will be.
Col. Greg Julian, the U.S. military's spokesman in Afghanistan, said the United States will mentor, train and give back-up to the new village forces, but Afghanistan's interior ministry is in charge of the program.
While Iraq's Awakening Councils are made up along tribal lines, officials say the militias in Afghanistan are to be drawn up by the local councils who are being told to make their choices based on character, not tribal affiliations.
Yet few Afghans believed tribal loyalties can be avoided, with many fearful the new force would fall under the control of local warlords who could even join with the Taliban.
Another council member, Mohammed Mukhlis, predicted only thieves and criminals would join the force, mostly because no one would risk being killed by the Taliban to defend the discredited government.
"For the last seven years, the government didn't do anything for the nation, so people in the districts don't trust them," he said.
Mukhlis's home of Saydabad will be one of the first areas to get the militias he opposes. Overrun by Taliban, Mukhlis can no longer go to his home and has moved to a walled compound closer to Kabul.
"Right now I am safe here, but I don't know if in another few months I will have to move again, even closer to Kabul, to escape Taliban," he said.

Elizabeth Olsen's Cover of Allure Is Another 'Missed Opportunity' (Forum Buzz)
Following in the footsteps of sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth Olsen now steals the spotlight and poses on the cover of Allure. Recent staff changes at the beauty bible have resulted in a subtle change in direction (though we're eagerly anticipating a full revamp). The new team seems to favor more natural, effortless and un-airbrushed cover shots, like the gorgeous Amy Adams cover a few months back. Now moving on to its June 2016 offering, Olsen was shot by photographer Tom Craig wearing a sunshine yellow dress while sporting a 70s-inspired makeup look.
Members of our forums were left uncertain. "They wasted the opportunity! She is a gorgeous girl, and this could have been a stellar cover if it not for that eye makeup! It's too heavy for the setting. Had they minimized it, it could have been gorgeous," MON discredited straight away.
Justaguy wasn't exactly feeling the makeup either. "Bummed. Was expecting something a lot better than this. The makeup just doesn't work here. Too harsh with the subtle and soft styling," he pointed out in frustration. (more…)

Harnesses safety.noiseless,comfortable
I have strayed away from using the new harnesses that are out and really have just still use the old strap on belts for safety if anything at all.
I never have fallen out of a tree and don't plan on it.
So my question to you is a simple one.which one is the best one out there that does't take 5 hours to get into,cause alot of restricted movement and is absolutely silent,I also don't want anything on the chest area that could possibly get in the way of firing.Are they all camo?
Any of these new ones really worth the money or do I stay old school.
If I fell out of the tree I heard I have 10 minutes to live by being hung under the armpits...
So,what is the solution and knowledge to help a hard headed guy out and make the switch.

It will probably take more than one post; but it's worthwhile writing towards now. And something great. Hopefully we will get all cought up to and take the writing somewhere new and improved. Always improved.
So since we visited CpH and Studio; a highlight, much has indeed happened. Firstly, I still dream about the biodynamic organic leek. It was incredible. I try to tell people that it was by far the best leek I ever had; but it's hard for people to fathom because they obviously do not have many memorable reference points.
Secondly, I went to Cambridge in June. I didn't punt but we did attend the May Ball at Emmanuel College. This was an odd and frightfully cold event. Ultimately I found Cambridge to have a weird class dynamic in which the students are revered and us mere mortals disappear behind the looking glass.
The highlight at this odd ball most certainly was chatting to one of the C Team, a weird Oxford Club which crashes the Cambridge Mayball. He was jittery and emphatically not enjoying himself. Enjoyment, however, was not the point, as he pointed out. The point was to break in. That was the point. Which to me sort of summed up my impression of the Cambridge students who also seemed to not really be enjoying anything other than the mere fact that they had managed to get in.
That experience alone is probably what spiraled me into an existential quest for joy and purpose. Because the point is not to have a blog, but to write because we enjoy it.
And so here we are; back.

When Generals Play at Being Historians
When a historian assumes a general's rank and plays around with strategy, nobody cares - let them have fun. Tomorrow someone else will come along and write a contrary thesis. But when generals don an historian's spectacles and start weaving historical narratives, even Clio the muse of history pays attention.
When a historian assumes a general's rank and plays around with strategy, nobody cares - let them have fun. Tomorrow someone else will come along and write a contrary thesis. But when generals don an historian's spectacles and start weaving historical narratives, even Clio the muse of history pays attention.
Unlike historians, generals don't just paint a picture of Clio's retreating back. They hold her hand and lead her through the alleyways of the chronicle. There's no point in offering an historian's counter-thesis to the general's - and he certainly doesn't want a passing or failing grade.
The general is just playing with historical imagery and his real purpose is to determine his place and his actions on the historical continuum. He even comes up with `perspectives,' to give his political positions and strategic concepts the characteristics of historical necessity.
Last weekend we were treated to nearly identical descriptions in the press of Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon's historical theories. Obviously, it wasn't Ya'alon's skills as a `student of history' that made the reporters hand out compliments for his `explosive conclusions.' They knew it was a key to understanding his past motives and deeds, and the hints about his future plans. (There is also an element of kowtowing to someone in power.)
Indeed, the `perspectives' of the chief of staff are spectacular. First, he thinks the `thousand-day war' (as the Al Aqsa Intifada is being called) was on the same level as the war of independence and even surpasses it in importance. The war of independence ended without the Palestinians accepting Israel as a fact. The latest war - now sometimes called "the last battle of the 1948 war" - resulted in "our actions against terror" becoming the decisive element that created "conditions for Palestinian acceptance of Israel's existence as a Jewish state."
The commander of the thousand day war is too modest to praise his own glorious achievements, so he allows his listeners to make their own comparisons between he who succeeded now and the commanders of the war of independence - Yitzhak Sadeh, Yigal Allon, and Moshe Dayan - who failed to finish the job.
Second, the mere reference to the series of violent events that are characteristic of chaotic wars between communities as "a war of existence" is problematic, never mind the direct connection he makes between it and the war of independence.
This is a deliberate attempt to deny the Palestinians their war of independence. You say this was a war against the Israeli occupation? Nonsense. This was really the continuation of the Israeli nation's war of independence, a war for its very existence, and anyone who says differently is legitimizing terrorism.
Now, after the chief of staff cum historian has determined, like a baker speaking of his dough, that "we won this one," he is dictating terms of surrender. But mere surrender doesn't suit the historian's pose, therefore he has to identify "the potential for a revolution in principle, from the consciousness of struggle to the consciousness of an agreement."
Indeed, that's an elegant formula for "an agreement" that means accepting all of Israel's conditions and the Palestinians giving up all their national aspirations. They must recognize Israel as a Jewish state and not a state of all its citizens and concede the right of return and not UN General Assembly resolution 194, which includes compensation and recognition of the damage done to the Palestinians.
They must declare "an end to the conflict" with "an end to the occupation of the territories" in the West Bank and Gaza as stipulated in a cantonal map, and not a return to the 1967 borders and a dismantling of the settlements. The chief of staff sees clear signs that Abu Mazen "could be" the person who would agree to all that.
Fact. Abu Mazen did not mention a single one of the issues regarding a permanent agreement in his speech at Aqaba. He went to his meeting with the Israeli prime minister, under an Israeli flag, wearing a business suit and not a military uniform like Arafat the terrorist.
Ya'alon suddenly discovered Abu Mazen, as if Mahmoud Abbas was not the same senior Palestinian who took part in the conciliatory process known as Oslo in which he showed both his flexibility and his limits. A historian knows how to be selective - Ya'alon doesn't like Oslo, so Abu Mazen is a new invention, it seems.
The chief of staff is ready to cooperate according to the "perspective" of a historian, and as a result he is ready to clash with some ministers in the government who are plotting to sabotage "the positive political momentum that has developed with the election of Abu Mazen."
He will also make humanitarian gestures to the occupied residents but - of course - "gradually." That is quite a positive approach and there it is not important that it is based on a rather flimsy historical dig at his opponents. Maybe that approach, so contrary to the tough approach Ya'alon actually took, will really allow for the opening of a new stage in Israel-Palestine relations. That's the power of a general - he shapes reality and doesn't merely analyze it.
But on second thought, perhaps it's not even correct to rule out the analysis by Ya'alon the historian. It is possible Abu Mazen, unlike his heroic colleagues, is really ready to admit the loss.
Perhaps he has read the author Amin Ma'aluf: "Maybe one day it will be necessary for someone to dare to teach them to examine their loss without reticence, and to explain to them that before people can stand on their own two feet, they must first admit they are lying on the ground."
Maybe that is Abu Mazen's message, including the hope for the future. And that's what Ya'alon himself says in his complicated message - "the conflict is not over; in their version of the story, they won."

Hello to the aviation community and my fellow aviators, I was just wondering what the final outcome of the Singapore Airlines 747-400 crash at Taipei Intl Airport was? Why did the crew elect to takeoff in an impending typhoon? Surely they would have obtained a weather briefing prior to takeoff or engine start for that matter. I feel it was the pilot's poor judgement that caused this beautiful aircraft to end her life and end the lives of several hundred passengers. I highly doubt this crash would be related to mechanical failure--the Boeing 747 was only a couple years old! I just cannot understand why the crew pressed on knowing that the weather conditions were beyond even the capability of the giant 747. But sometimes in flying, we make decisions that may well be the last one we make and there is nothing one can do to reverse these decisions. My sympathies to the crew, passengers, families of the lost loved ones, and to the aircraft herself of Singapore Airlines.

Joint Israeli-EU parliamentary delegation holds series of high level meetings in Hungary; discusses disconcerting rise of anti-Semitism in country
Published: 01.28.13, 10:34 / Israel News
Hungary was one of many countries worldwide to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day Sunday.
Budapest hosted
a special gathering of Israeli and European parliamentarians, who held a series of meetings focused on the disconcerting increase in anti-Semitism in the central European country.
The delegation was organized following remarks made by Hungarian MP Marton Gyongyosi,
from the Jobbik Party, who in December urged Budapest to create a "registry"
of Jewish MPs and government officials in the country.
Related stories:
The suggestion was harshly criticized by Budapest's government. Hungary's Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi
called it "completely unacceptable," further slamming it as "the worst yet" in a series of bills attributed to the far-right party.
The Israeli delegates in Budapest
Hungary, he said, "Will not put up with actions by such groups and individuals. Hungary has the strongest laws against such manifestations."
On Sunday, the delegation met with several senior members of the Hungarian government, as well as several members of the opposition.
Among those who took meetings with the Israeli parliamentarians were Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Tibor Navracsics, who also serves as minister of public administration and justice; Minister of Human Resources Zoltan Balog, and Ferenc Kumin, who serves as deputy state secretary for international communication.
The delegations also met with Minister of State for National Developments Janos Fonagy; and MPs Richard Horcsik, Marton Braun, Lazlo Kovacs and Pal Steiner.
Following the first round of meetings, the delegation issued a statement saying: "We find great appreciation and a positive attitude from the political forces in Hungary towards our efforts to help them fight a particularly tough battle against anti-Semitism in their own parliament and in their society.
"Hungary stands with other European nations in its absolute refusal to let anti-Semitism dig its claws into human rights in Europe," the statement said.
"It is vital that a vibrant democracy like Hungary find an effective way to deal with the demagogues in its midst… and we will lend these efforts our full support."

We compared the transcript profiles of human myeloid immature dendritic (IDC) cells and mature dendritic cells (MDC) by hybridization of cell-derived cDNA to DNA probes immobilized on microarrays. The microarrays contained probes for 4110 known genes. We report maturation–dependent changes in transcription of clusters of differentiation, cytokines, cytokine receptors, chemokines, chemokine receptors, neuropeptides, adhesion molecules and other genes. We identified 1124 transcripts expressed in IDC and 1556 transcripts expressed in MDC. Maturation increased the levels of 291 transcripts twofold or more and reduced the levels of 78 transcripts to one half or less than in IDC. We identified a concerted maturation–stage dependent transcription of the variable chains of the members of the -chain–cytokine receptor family IL-4R, IL-7R, and IL-15R. Also, we found the reversal of the ratio of transcripts for galectin-3 and galectin-9 upon maturation. We identified maturation–dependent changes in the levels of transcripts for numerous genes encoding proteins previously undetected in dendritic cells such as indoleamine 2,3-deoxygenase, Epstein-Barr virus induced protein 3 and kinesin-2. Moreover, MDC transcribed and translated insulin like growth factor-1 receptor, transforming growth factor , and neuropeptide Y.
Dendritic cell function is regulated by stimulatory signals originating from infection (1-3), tissue damage or other "danger" signals (4), and inhibitory signals such as interleukin-10 (5), corticosteroids (6, 7), or vascular endothelial growth factor (8). Immature dendritic cells (IDC) reside at sentinel locations, e.g., skin and mucous membranes, where they detect regulatory signals. When a stimulatory threshold is reached, IDC terminally differentiate (mature) into mature dendritic cells (MDC) that migrate to lymph nodes where they recruit and stimulate naive T cells (cf. refs. 9 and 10). Consequently, maturation of dendritic cells is critical to the initiation of the immune response (11, 12).
Dendritic cells are characterized by antigen uptake, presentation, directional migration, and stimulation of T-cell responses (reviewed in Refs. 9 and 10). These functional characteristics, best described in dendritic cells of myeloid origin, are profoundly affected by maturation of IDC to MDC (9, 10). Maturation reduces the high rate of antigen uptake and increases cell surface expression of antigen presenting molecules, costimulatory molecules, and the secretion of cytokines and chemokines. Likewise, maturation alters the expression of adhesion molecules and receptors involved in migration, homing and cell–cell interactions of dendritic cells. These features have been intensely studied by immunological, cell biology and biochemical techniques; however, a comprehensive understanding of dendritic cell maturation based on a global analysis of changes in gene expression is still lacking.
Insight into global changes in gene expression has been made possible through the use of sequential analysis of gene expression (SAGE) (13) and hybridization to DNA immobilized on solid-state microarrays (14-16). The power of microarray analysis has been demonstrated in studies of the effects of serum on transcription dynamics in serum-starved fibroblasts (17), in characterizing transcription patterns in human tumors (18, 19) and chronically inflamed tissues in rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (20). Recently, SAGE was applied to the
transformation of human monocytes into IDC (21), but the critical terminal differentiation of IDC into MDC has not been characterized. Consequently, we analyzed global changes in transcription that accompany this final maturation step. We report the results of probing 4110 transcripts for known genes with cDNA from IDC and MDC. We classified the data by the function or serologic characteristics of the respective gene products. The transcript levels correlated well with the published data for expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) proteins as well as with the reports for maturation stage-dependent transcription of chemokine receptors. We describe transcription of genes hitherto undetected in dendritic cells as well as genes not previously associated with dendritic cell maturation. Also, we demonstrate coordinated changes in transcription that indicate novel features and functions in dendritic cell maturation.
