Update: On May 4, BAAQMD commenced an appeal in the First District of the California Court of Appeal seeking to overturn the Alameda County Superior Court decision striking down the District's CEQA air quality thresholds and requiring the District to prepare an environmental impact report regarding the potential environmental impacts of the thresholds including any effect on future development patterns.
On March 5, an Alameda County Superior Court judge ordered the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to set aside, depublish and stop the circulation of its controversial thresholds of significance for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and certain toxic air contaminants ("Thresholds"). The CEQA Thresholds were intended to be used by BAAQMD and other local agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area to determine whether a local land use project would have significant air quality impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Court invalidated the Thresholds because BAAQMD failed to perform a CEQA analysis of the impacts of the Thresholds on the physical environment prior to their adoption.
Background: In June 2010, BAAQMD adopted Resolution No. 2010-06 >>read including numeric air quality thresholds for analyses by lead agencies under CEQA. While the BAAQMD Thresholds are not binding on other Bay Area agencies, they are widely used by cities and counties in evaluating projects for CEQA purposes, and BAAQMD's stated policy is that lead agencies should apply the Thresholds when conducting CEQA review. The Thresholds were part of a larger document entitled "BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines," which had not been updated in nearly a decade.
The Thresholds' adoption marked the first time that a California air district set numeric "thresholds of significance" for evaluating environmental effects of GHG emissions from proposed projects under CEQA. If a project's emissions exceeded the Thresholds, it would result in a finding of a significant impact necessitating preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) and adoption of mitigation measures. For more information see "BAAQMD District GHG Thresholds of Significance Will Have Wide Impact" (9/17/09) and "BAAQMD Update on CEQA Thresholds" (1/8/10). The BAAQMD Thresholds were of further note because they introduced a new requirement for projects proposed within 1,000 feet of existing pollution sources, including most freeways, major roads and transportation corridors in the region. Such projects were asked to perform a community risk assessment to determine the potential health impacts on new project residents from existing, background pollution. Traditionally, CEQA examines a project's impacts on the surrounding environment rather than the environment's impact on a project and its residents.
During the Thresholds' approval process, several cities, as well as development, transit and affordable housing advocates, criticized the Thresholds as being too easily exceeded and causing infill "smart growth" development to become less feasible due to the additional cost and burden of preparing full-scale EIRs and related regulatory compliance. Opponents asserted that the numeric standards were so low and restrictive that even transit villages planned adjacent to BART lines would be unable to avoid a significant impact finding for GHG emissions. These parties also argued that the Thresholds were inconsistent with laws like SB 375 which are designed to promote infill growth and include CEQA streamlining and exemptions for qualifying transit oriented development.
The Lawsuit: Following the Thresholds' approval in 2010, the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) sued, claiming, among other grounds, that BAAQMD did not analyze the Thresholds as a "project" under CEQA and failed to study the impacts of the Thresholds on future development patterns. (CBIA v. BAAQMD, Alameda County Superior Court, Case No. RG10-548693.)
In a written ruling issued on March 5, 2012, Judge Frank Roesch agreed with the CBIA and ordered BAAQMD to withdraw the Thresholds entirely until BAAQMD studies the potential environmental impact of the Thresholds, including their potential effect on future development in the region. Roesch found that BAAQMD's approval of the Thresholds was a project under CEQA and required environmental review. Roesch found that there was a fair argument that implementation of the Thresholds "may cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment" and might discourage urban infill development while encouraging suburban development.
Next Steps: Judge Roesch ordered BAAQMD to set aside its 2010 resolution adopting the Thresholds and to take no further action to disseminate the Thresholds as an approved set of air quality thresholds until and unless BAAQMD "fully complies with its obligations under CEQA." He rejected BAAQMD's request to leave the Thresholds in place pending CEQA compliance.
Specifically, the writ of mandate issued by the court directs that the 2010 resolution be set aside within 90 days and that within 30 days, BAAQMD "cease dissemination and publication of the Thresholds and their implementing CEQA Air Quality Guidelines and calculators." Further, the writ directed that BAAQMD "shall not take any further actions that rely on or treat the Thresholds as generally applicable requirements or recommendations." BAAQMD is contesting the writ to the extent it requires de-publication of their full CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, as opposed to the Thresholds only on the basis that the writ goes beyond what was contained in the court's written decision and judgment. A hearing on that issue is set for April 17.
Invalidation of the Thresholds in their entirety presents uncertainty for current project applicants and local agencies regarding proper evaluation of air quality impacts (including from GHG emissions) in CEQA documents. Clearly, invalidation of the Thresholds means that reliance on them is not currently required. (BAAQMD's previous Thresholds were adopted in 1999.) The impact on local agencies that have already adopted or endorsed the Thresholds is unclear and may depend upon the extent to which the agency undertook its own CEQA analysis prior to adopting the Thresholds or incorporating them into their planning documents, such as a general plan or climate action plan.
CEQA encourages local agencies to adopt thresholds of significance to evaluate environmental impacts so long as those thresholds are supported by substantial evidence and adopted through a public review process. (Public Resources Code § 21082; 14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15064.7, 15064.4 (addressing GHG impacts); see also Citizens for Responsible and Equitable Environmental Development v. City of Chula Vista (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 327 [upholding city's threshold for GHG emissions based on compliance with goals set out in AB 32]). Clearly, a local agency could adopt the BAAQMD Thresholds or other thresholds so long as that determination is supported by substantial evidence.
The requirements for project applicants to perform a community risk assessment if their project is located within 1,000 feet of existing pollution sources such as major transportation corridors is unclear. Judge Roesch's ruling did not specifically address the issue and such a requirement is on hold while BAAQMD undergoes the administrative and public processes of drafting and circulating a CEQA evaluation of the invalidated Thresholds.
The validity of the Thresholds' 1,000-foot community risk assessment zone is further in doubt given two recent CEQA decisions that rejected an assertion that a project must evaluate impacts of the surrounding environment on project residents. (See Ballona Wetlands Land Trust v. City of Los Angeles (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 455; South Orange County Wastewater Authority v. City of Dana Point (2011) 196 Cal.App.4th 1604. The California Supreme Court recently denied petitions to review and/or depublish the Ballona decision.)
The decision in this case indicates that courts may not allow a regulatory agency to bypass CEQA analysis even when the agency contends that adoption of a new environmental rule, policy or guideline will result in environmental benefits. Courts are increasingly scrutinizing such regulations and finding that their adoption can constitute a "project" under CEQA with the potential to negatively impact the environment, and consequently require compliance with CEQA.
It is not yet known how BAAQMD will address the Court's ruling, including whether it intends to prepare an environmental impact report, or if it will appeal the ruling. BAAQMD is required to report back to Judge Roesch within 90 days regarding compliance with his ruling. We will provide further information on BAAQMD's response and any further proceedings related to the BAAQMD Guidelines and Thresholds when it becomes available.

UPDATE, 6:14 P.M.: This report has been updated with additional statements from Rep. Grimm about his connections with Ofer Biton; and from the man who hired Grimm at Harmonic Research.
With allegations of questionable business dealings and illegal fund-raising swirling around him, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) told the Advance that he is the victim of a political witch hunt aimed at knee-capping his re-election bid this year.
He says he'll fight allegations that he improperly raised money.
"I'm not going to lie down and take it," Grimm told the Advance. "They are picking on the wrong Marine."
Grimm, a former FBI agent and Marine Corps combat veteran, is already facing anonymous accusations that he took illegal contributions for his 2010 campaign from members of Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto's congregation. Grimm has denied the allegations and insists he has never accepted illegal cash.
Today, Grimm's business dealings and partnerships were the focus of a front-page report in the New York Times, which contrasted his all-American image with what it described as a "checkered" business background.
Many of those issues dredged up by the Times have been covered by the Advance and other media in previous stories dating back to Grimm's pursuit of the Staten Island House seat in 2010.
But coming to light today, according to the Times report, is the revelation that Grimm invested around $1 million in a luxury real estate development in Texas shortly before leaving the FBI in 2006. Grimm's partner in the project was a former FBI colleague, Carlos Luquis, who at the time was under indictment on racketeering and fraud charges.
Luquis was later convicted for being part of a scheme that skimmed $2 million from Texans' electric bills. He served 18 months in prison.
Grimm has previously defended his relationship with Luquis.
And Luquis was frequently seen with Grimm during Grimm's 2010 congressional campaign.
"I never hid it," Grimm told the Advance this week of his relationship with Luquis. "And I won't hide it now. Yes, he got arrested. He served his time. He served his debt to society. I stood by a friend. That's who I am. And I'm not going to apologize for it."
But Grimm had never disclosed before that the two men were in business together when Luquis was under indictment, the Times said.
In May 2006, Grimm and a partner, Harold Rosenbaum, borrowed $1.34 million from a bank and agreed to pay $965,000 to Luquis's company, Hill Castle Homes, to build a house near Austin, Tex., the Times said.
The land deal soured three years later.Grimm told the Advance that he lost his "entire" FBI pension, more than $100,000, on the deal, but said he refused to let the property go into foreclosure and revert to the bank.
"I took the money out of my pension for one year to pay for that house," he said, "and lost everything. Until it sold."
Said Grimm, "I didn't cry over spilled milk. I took it like a man."
Regarding questions about Luquis and others he has been associated with, Grimm told the Advance, "With the nature of the work that I did, I met a lot of people that have gone to jail or are presently in jail."
In 1994, Grimm spent a year at Whale Securities, a firm that was sanctioned repeatedly by regulators for gouging customers. The Times said there was no evidence that Grimm engaged in any wrongdoing there. But it does say he was disingenuous about his work record there. The Times cites his official campaign biography that makes no mention of Whale, but rather "Harmonic Research."
"Several of Whale's former managers said in interviews that Harmonic Research was not a licensed brokerage at the time, but merely the name of a newsletter that a small group of brokers at Whale produced," the Times reported.
Allan Singer told the Advance that he hired Grimm at Harmonic in the early 1990s. Harmonic was a division of Whale which did technical research regarding investments, he said. Singer said Grimm never worked for Whale itself, and doesn't recall if Harmonic did a newsletter.
"He is a straight arrow," Singer said. "He is exactly the type of employee you would want; no attitude, no issues. He did what he said he was going to do."
Grimm also provided the Advance with a copy of his business card from Harmonic as proof that he didn't work for Whale.
Twelve years later, Grimm established Granny Sayz, LLC, which operated Healthalicious, a Manhattan restaurant.
The company was affiliated with a company now connected to Ofer Biton, the Times said.
But Grimm maintains that he only met Biton after he launched his campaign for Congress at the end of 2009, and that they were introduced by the rabbi.
Grimm told the Advance he had sold the restaurant in April of that year.

Managing Radio Market Clusters: Orientations of General Managers
This study reports the results of a nationwide census of the general managers (GMs) managing three or more stations among the 25 largest radio companies. The census serves as a baseline study for understanding the functions of managing consolidated media properties. Among the key findings, the GMs emphasized the importance of middle managers in the success of radio clusters. The GMs perceive their jobs as a function of four factors: people, organization procedures, financial performance, and prioritization of work and personal affairs. These four factors were compared to the business process reengineering model and were found to be concentrated in only two of four areas.

An Apple Television
People have been speculating about an Apple-branded television since Steve Jobs mentioned the idea in his biography. "I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use," Jobs told his biographer, Walter Isaacson. "It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud." No longer would users have to fiddle with complex remotes for DVD players and cable channels. "It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it."
I mused that it would happen last year, but now it looks like a rollout may take place in 2013. Some analysts on Wall Street are saying the same thing.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster predicts Apple will launch a television set in November 2013, selling between $1,500 and $2,000. "We expect the beauty of the design to be a feature, but the most important feature will be the ability to use the TV as the main interface for the living room across multiple devices. We believe the TV will include Siri and FaceTime. The biggest item unlikely to come with the TV will be unbundled channels," Munster wrote in his note.
I think we may get one earlier than November, perhaps as early as March. Apple has moved up the iPad release to October, the iPhone is in September and Macs may be refreshed in June. Spring is open on Apple's calendar.
I was beyond awful on this one, and at this point, I'm worse than Munster when predicting the start of an Apple television set. At this point, I'm done predicting when, or if, we'll see an Apple-branded television set despite knowing that the damn thing exists!!
I'm going to focus more on Apple's set-top box, Apple TV, and how it plans to reinvent the television experience that way. Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook has said in the past that television is "an area of intense interest" for Apple, but we haven't seen an actual television set just yet. My thinking is that we may never see an actual television set, given the long life spans sets have, and the relatively low margins.
Of course, I say this now, and given Cook's comments, about moving into new product areas, watch me eat my words.
Grade: F- (worse than Bart Simpson)

Senator Young Announces Progress WITH Aid to Local Grape Growers
ALBANY – In the wake of devastating weather-related damage to local fruit crops, Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I – Olean) announced significant progress has been made this week with obtaining a federal disaster relief declaration, and with the introduction of a bill to provide tax credits to farmers faced with crop losses.
Senator Young organized 22 other Senators to ask Governor Andrew Cuomo's help for growers across the state whose crops were damaged by freezing temperatures. As a result, Governor Cuomo has sent a letter to the US Department of Agriculture asking for a disaster declaration.
"The Governor's request to the federal government is the first official step in obtaining a federal disaster relief declaration. The declaration will allow farmers in need of extra help to qualify for grants and loans. This aid will ease the difficult burden facing our growers and ensure that our agriculture sector remains a vital part of the state economy," Senator Young said.
Senator Young also sponsors a newly-introduced bill that would provide farmers with a personal income tax credit of 35 percent of the value of their damaged crops. Eligible crops are fruits including grapes, apples, peaches, cherries and berries; vegetables including tomatoes, snap beans, cabbage, beets and onions; and potatoes and dry beans.
"With such widespread damage locally and across the state, it is important to take actions that help repair the economic fallout. A tax credit needs to be part of the overall solution," Senator Young said.
A previous trip to Fisk Farm in Dunkirk and ongoing conversations with owners James and Karen Fisk, as well as other growers, highlights the need to support local farmers.
"There's not going to be anything worth harvesting. Even with crop insurance, there may not be enough money to cover the costs this year, let alone running the farm next year," James Fisk said.
"The income tax credit and a federal disaster relief declaration will help farmers look beyond the crisis they face this year and provide a framework for planning for recovery in upcoming years," Senator Young added.
"Our agricultural producers are the mainstay of our upstate economy. We need to do everything we can at the state and federal levels to help mitigate their losses and keep them operating and producing crops to meet demand for our products around the world," she said.

Extroverts may age better
If socialization is essential to healthy aging, it makes sense that extroverts -- who tend to thrive in crowds and at parties - would do better in their older years.
A study in the Journal of Research in Personality, as reported at HealthDayNews, "found that for nearly 4,600 British adults followed for decades, those who were 'extroverts' in their youth gave higher ratings to their well-being and satisfaction with life once they'd reached their early 60s."
The researchers were quick to point out that shy people can age well, too. The folks in the study reporting high satisfaction in their 60s were also emotionally stable and "less neurotic" than others in their younger years.
So if you were a neurotic extrovert in your 20s does it cancel out the positive effect in your 60s? Guess I'll have to wait and see.
(S-R archive photo of Muhammad Ali, declared one of history's best known extroverts by Time magazine)

Live Blog: Thursday At The Democratic National Convention Good evening from Charlotte. Tonight during the last day of the Democratic National Convention, President Obama will accept his party's nomination. It will be a star-studded evening with performances from James Taylor and the Foo Fighters and appearences from stars like Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johansson. We'll keep tabs on it the whole night. Also, along with NPR's Liz Halloran and Becky Lettenberger, we'll hit the floor and bring you updates on several of the delegations. Make sure to refresh this page to the see the latest. Jimmy Fallon Impersonates San Antonio's Mayor By Nathan Bernier • Sep 6, 2012 You know it was only a matter of time before late night comedian Jimmy Fallon lampooned San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro's keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. The two have a remote resemblance, and impersonations have been a mainstay of Fallon's comedy career from the very beginning. "I've seen that a lot of people out there on Twitter are claiming that I look like a Latino Jimmy Fallon, and I must say, I am truly honored," Fallon says in the segment. "He's a sexy man with a sexy, sexy face." Texan is DNC's First Undocumented Speaker By Emily Ramshaw, Texas Tribune • Sep 6, 2012 Antonio Villaraigosa / Todd Wiseman, Texas Tribune CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Benita Veliz, a 27-year-old San Antonio woman whose parents brought her into the country on a short-term tourist visa nearly two decades years ago, became the first undocumented person to address the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night. Veliz, who graduated from high school at age 16 as valedictorian and double-majored at St. Mary's University on a full academic scholarship, was nearly deported to Mexico after being pulled over in 2009 for a traffic infraction. The case was eventually dropped in 2011. But Veliz, who identifies herself as an American and has hardly any connection to Mexico, has become the poster child for a generation of young immigrants rooting for the DREAM Act, proposed legislation that would provide them a path to citizenship. Live Blog: Wednesday At The Democratic National Convention Hello from Charlotte, N.C. Today is all about Bill Clinton. Walking around Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, the former president was the talk of the town. Today marks the second day of the Democratic National Convention. We're in the arena and we'll keep tabs on the proceedings. Make sure you refresh this page to see the latest. Update at 11:25 p.m. ET. A Wonky Speech, With A Clinton Delivery: The night ended with President Obama taking the stage, once President Clinton finished his speech. The Odd Couple: What Clinton Adds for Obama In public, at least, they're the best of friends. And no one will have a more public role extolling President Obama than his Democratic predecessor, former President Bill Clinton. Clinton, who has already been featured in an Obama campaign ad, is speaking tonight at the Democratic National Convention in what is traditionally the prime spot reserved for the vice presidential nominee. "He's clearly the best asset the Democrats have," says GOP consultant David Carney. "Clinton is their best surrogate." In DNC Keynote, Castro Courts Latinos, Youths By Emily Ramshaw, Texas Tribune • Sep 5, 2012 Texas Tribune CHARLOTTE, N.C. — San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, in the most defining moment of his young political career, gave a Democratic National Convention keynote on Tuesday night that reiterated Barack Obama's 2008 message of hope, from the promise of recent immigrants to the anticipation of the nation's youths to the dreams of Americans reaching for the middle class. "To me, to my generation, and for all the generations to come, our choice is clear," Castro said. "Our choice is a man who's always chosen us. A man who already is our president." Castro's speech was thrilling and moving for Texas Democrats, who don't hold a single statewide elective office but are pinning their hopes on the state's shifting demographics and young, charismatic leaders like Castro. Live Blog: Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention Good evening from Charlotte, N.C., where Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz gaveled the convention to order promptly at 5 p.m. ET. in Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena. Schultz, who is also the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said that throughout the next three days, "we will demonstrate we need to keep President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden four more years." AM Update: Election Day Details, Austin Soldier Killed, San Antonio Mayor Named DNC Keynote Speaker By Margaret Nicklas & Laura Rice • Jul 31, 2012 U.S. Department of Defense Election Day Arrives The polls are open this morning for the Primary Runoff Election. Voters will choose party candidates in the U.S. Senate race. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Solicitor General Ted Cruz have been in a bitter struggle to be the Republican nominee. Former state Representative Paul Sadler and Grady Yarbrough, a retired educator, are in a runoff for the Democratic nomination. Across the state, several U.S. congressional district seats, one state senate seat, several state representative seats and a spot on the Texas Supreme Court are also in the mix. Support For Same-Sex Marriage Could Be Official Democratic Stance Democrats are on the path to including an endorsement of same-sex marriage for the first time in their official party platform. NPR's Ari Shapiro reported Monday that the proposal has made it through an important Democratic committee. The 15 Democrats who serve on the party's platform drafting committee voted unanimously to endorse same-sex marriage in the party's official agenda, says Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who serves on the committee. Frank recently married his partner. Texas Democrats Elect Their First Hispanic Chairman By Ross Ramsey, Texas Tribune & Julian Aguilar, Texas Tribune • Jun 9, 2012 Marjorie Kamys Cotera for Texas Tribune Texas Democrats, trying to compete in a state that overwhelmingly favors Republican candidates for executive, legislative and judicial offices, elected their first Hispanic chairman Saturday. In a reflection of the state's burgeoning Hispanic growth and the party's longtime success with Latinos, delegates overwhelmingly elected Gilberto Hinojosa as the next party chairman. He will replace outgoing chairman Boyd Richie, who announced in April 2011 that he would not seek another term after six years on the job. Hinojosa successfully breathed some life into the sparse crowd on the convention floor with a fiery speech before the delegates cast an overwhelming majority of votes in his favor. Outgoing Texas Democratic Chairman Highlights Victories By Julian Aguilar, Texas Tribune • Jun 8, 2012 Spencer Selvidge, Texas Tribune HOUSTON — Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie said Thursday during his final convention as the party's leader that despite his disappointment in being unable to propel a candidate to victory in a statewide race during his six-year tenure, the party should still reflect on the significant milestones it has accomplished.

no sure on how long, first time it didnt start was last night, went out ran in to a shop came out 3 mins later, wouldnt start. decided to stay for dinner, in restaurant for 2 hrs, came out started up with check engine light on.
this morning started up, sounds a bit rough no check engine light on now?
my concern is getting home today,XXXXXthrough the mnts, sketchy cell coverage.
can be sure about hearing a hum or a buzz coming from fuel tank.
what would that mean, i can try to get it in to the dude who saw it yesterday, not too sure if he is really qualified, so that is why i am seeking pro help

"Both my husband and I felt that Dr. Levens was one of the best doctors we have ever met. He was compassionate and upbeat about the process, and always took time to explain and answer any questions we had. When I called him for any concerns during the cycle, he was extremely prompt in returning the call and/or scheduling appointments.
Considering our experience at Shady Grove Fertility, I can honestly say that we both have never felt more at ease in a medical setting, and that's something special, because I am a bit of a nervous patient! Making the decision to move to donor eggs was not an easy one; that is why I am so grateful that we had the support we needed to make an educated decision that would ultimately lead to success. We are hoping that everything continues to go well with the next phase of our pregnancy!"
"My husband and I were very impressed with Dr. Levens and the way he treated us. He was extremely careful, approachable and knowledgeable. He offered us his contact information without hesitation. It is really refreshing to deal with a doctor that makes you feel like a patient (not a number) and that really cares about you and takes the time to listen to what the patient has to say. You seldom see that nowadays. We're glad we ended up having him to deal with our case (I had no preference of doctors when I first schedule my appointment)."
"On the day of the transfer, Dr. Levens was extremely kind, helpful, supportive and informative."
"Dr. Levens is very friendly and easy to talk to. I was happy that he and I are on the same page and the appointment went very smoothly."
"Although I have not yet started my process, Dr. Levens has the best bedside manner that I've ever come across. He showed that he really cared, he took his time explaining the procedure, answered all of my questions patiently and he called and emailed me right away when I had follow up questions."

JERUSALEM (Aug. 1)
Structural changes are needed in Jewish communities in the United States and Israel if the "new life" created by the women's movement is to be allowed to energize Judaism, feminist-author Betty Friedan told a conference here Monday night.
She noted that Jewish women's issues are "issues of survival, "both in terms of the Jewish future and the survival of the human race in the nuclear era.
Friedan spoke to an overflow crowd at the opening session of the 20th American Jewish Congress American-Israel Dialogue at the Van Leer Jerusalem Foundation here. The four-day meeting, which is examining the role of Jewish women in Israel and America, includes prominent feminists from both countries.
Joining Ms. Friedan was Rivka Bar-Yosef, professor of sociology at Hebrew University and first advisor to the Prime Minister of the state of women in Israel. The evening was chaired by Theodore Mann, president of the AJCongress.
Friedan told the participants that when she visited Israel 10 years ago, feminist ideas were perceived as threatening to the survival of the family. "Now it is clear," said the author of The Feminine Mystique and The Second State, "that only with women's full equality, will we have the continuation of a strong family."
Friedan also warned that Jewish women have been used as "scapegoats" in the international arena by "regimes of the left and the right" who have targeted them for attack at international women's conferences in order to divert attention from fundamental social and political problems.
She advised the Jewish communal leaders in Israel and America to prepare for the upcoming United Nations-sponsored International Women's Decade Conference" to be held in Nairobi in 1985.
In the past, countries that most strenuously attacked Israel at these conferences were countries that opposed equality for women and used an assault on Zionism to direct attention away from legitimate women's issues, she noted.
Bar-Yosef stressed that while Jewish women in Israel and the United States face many similar problems. Israeli women face special problems intrinsic to their own society.
She cited four principal obstacles faced by women in Israel: "The segregation of women and men, no access for women to the higher levels of religious education, the exclusion of women from any function of judicial authority in the rabbinical judicial system, and the assymetric status of men and women in the family."
