A MOTORIST had a shock on a Hampshire lane when he spotted a rhea by the side of the road.
The ostrich-like flightless bird was seen on a road between Long Sutton and Odiham near Basingstoke.
The bird is "known to police" and the RSPCA, having escaped from its owner about two years ago and has so far evaded attempts to capture it.
A statement from police Countrywatch said: "Generally the bird keeps itself to itself and clearly appears to be coping with living in the wild. The RSPCA states that there are no concerns for its welfare and it does not pose any threat to the public."
The bird is found in South America and differ from African ostrichs in being smaller, with a feathered neck and three toes.

I recently read a well written article here on the importance of getting proper permits before beginning a job or project. It was a well written article and I certainly agree with all of the points.
However, the article was written for the benefit of customers and potential customers and thus designed to motivate the customer to get permits.
Having said this, I doubt that there is not a contractor out there who has not on occasion proceeded with a job without the proper permits. While I always recommend that the customer get the permits, many times customer won't bother once they realize all of the hoops they have to jump through (such as all drawings being signed off by an architect or engineer and the costs associated with hiring such a professional even for the simplest of drawings) and ask that I proceed at their direction without permits. At this point, I always let them know that if I do so and an Inspector shows up telling me to stop working, I will stop immediately.
So my query is about legal implications for Contractors who do proceed with jobs without the proper permits even after explaining to the customer the importance of getting them (and, when we are going through a dry spell in our work, we can certainly be tempted to just go ahead).
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Lone Wolf Contracting
In most cases you will be ordered to stop work and apply for a permit. the permit cost will be doubled and any planning or development fees will also be doubled. you may also have to completely tear down the work you have done or at least open up the walls etc. for inspection. if you are a frequent offender i could see more fines in place.
I suggest to all contractors to take the course called General legal process, it is part of the course you need for your BCIN.

BALTIMORE -- Andrew Bailey was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday and made his Red Sox debut in the bottom of the eighth inning of the 7-1 loss to the Orioles. He faced two batters, walking the first and striking out the second.
He was glad to get his feet wet in a situation where the game wasnt exactly on the line.
Its been way too long, said Bailey, who fanned 10 in six minor-league rehab appearances prior to his activation. Everything felt good and the ball was coming out of my hand good. Ill just stay ready when the phone rings. I have no expectations and were in a situation where we just need to win ballgames.
Its expected that Alfredo Aceves will stay in the closer role for the time being and Bailey will work in a setup role. Bailey spent the first 116 games of the season on the DL after the Sox shipped Josh Reddick to the Oakland As in exchange for him last winter.
Jacoby Ellsbury went 2-for-5 iand has hit safely in each of his last 37 games against the Orioles dating back to April 17, 2009. He is hitting .416 (69-for-166) over that stretch and it represents the longer hit streak against the Orioles franchise. Ellsbury left the blowout loss early; manager Bobby Valentine said the center fielder was tight."
The Red Sox recorded 11 hits in the game, but went a pitiful 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base. Its not often you see a team outhit their opposition by an 11-7 margin and still lose the game by a score of 7-1.
Old friend J.C. Romero made his Baltimore Orioles debut on Tuesday night and pitched a scoreless eighth inning.

Gorgeous George wrote the job description for the American antihero. He got into the professional wrestling game in the late 1930s and barnstormed America in too-tight togs, alternately winning or losing as the promoter required.
But he had a better idea. He and his first wife, Betty — a full partner in creating his persona — decided that America loved to hate and that he would become wildly successful as the object of scorn and derision.
George Wagner, a journeyman wrestler, was soon transformed into the impudent snob of the ring, a peroxided, preening and somewhat androgynous villain whom crowds lined up to jeer.
Gorgeous George, a new biography by University of Tampa professor John Capouya, deftly chronicles the rise of this pure product of America and listens to the reverberation of his influence throughout popular culture.
Gorgeous George blurred the line between good guy and bad guy and also confused the issue between macho and effeminate.
By the beginning of the 1950s, when grainy black-and-white televisions popped up in American living rooms, wrestling matches filled four nights of prime-time programming each week. Viewers loved to tune in to see that loathsome varmint in the capes and the arrogant sneer — and watch him lose.
George's style — those curls, those capes, the ritual perfuming of the wrestling ring, the trash talking before the match — was all new to the world, but soon his antics were being adopted by other artists and athletes.
As a young Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali was impressed by George's boasting and noticed the electrifying effect it had on the crowd. He thought the loudmouth act might work for him, and he was right. James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, admired George's flamboyant use of capes, and soon his stage act featured him sobbing through Please Please Please, all the while being comforted and draped in a cape by a valet. Even Bob Dylan drew strength from the Gorgeous George stance as an antihero.
George Wagner died young, in 1963, and was left in America's grainy television past. By resurrecting him, Capouya introduces this shrewd media manipulator to a new audience and helps us appreciate the part he played in creating the new world order of American popular culture in the last half of the 20th century. Gorgeous George was an original. They broke the mold, then they made him.

Former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, launched a web ad so aggressive towards Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, upon first viewing I thought it was put together by the Republican National Committee. (WATCH IT HERE). And today Edwards will continue making his case against the former First Lady in such a fashion, saying in Iowa City, per remarks released by his campaign, that "Senator Clinton is voting like a hawk in Washington, while talking like a dove in Iowa and New Hampshire. We have seen this movie before. And it doesn't end well -- in fact, as we all know too well, in Iraq, it hasn't ended at all." I agree that Clinton's debate performance exposed her to several charges of not presenting a clear opinion -- what Edwards calls "double-speaking." But has Edwards exposed himself to that charge as well? I don't know that his answers about the driver's license issue on 'This Week' were the easiest to understand. Watch HERE and fast-forward to about 7 minutes into George's piece. And I'm not certain where he is on the issue of whether or not there should be residual forces in Iraq. In February Edwards told CNN that "the people who are there for logistical support, to help train the Iraqis, we will need to keep some presence there for a period of time." And he reiterated this in an interview with the Quad City Times which April noted that Edwards was "clear on his call for a quick reduction -- but not elimination -- of troops in Iraq, not as abdication or surrender, but for what he believes will be a more successful peace initiative." But then in April his campaign gave a statement to the liberal website MyDD.com that "When we say complete withdrawal we mean it. No more war. No combat troops in the country. Period. But we're also being honest. If John Edwards is president, we're not going to leave the American Embassy in Iraq as the only undefended embassy in the world, for example. There will be Marine guards there, just like there are at our embassies in London, Riyadh, and Tokyo. And just the same, if American civilians are providing humanitarian relief to the Iraqi people, we're going to protect them. How in good conscience could we refuse to protect them and then allow humanitarian workers to be at risk for their lives or the work not to happen at all? Finally, it's also Senator Edwards' position that we will have troops in the region to prevent the sectarian violence in Iraq from spilling over into other countries, for counter-terrorism, or to prevent a genocide. But in the region means in the region - for example, existing bases like Kuwait, naval presence in the Persian Gulf, and so forth. I hope this helps explain Senator Edwards' position. Thanks for standing up for what we all believe in." In September at Pace University Edwards said "As president, I will redeploy troops into Quick Reaction Forces outside of Iraq, to perform targeted missions against Al Qaeda cells and to prevent a genocide or regional spillover of a civil war." But at the MSNBC debate that month he said "I heard Senator Clinton say on Sunday that she wants to continue combat missions in Iraq. To me, that's a continuation of the war. I do not think we should continue combat missions in Iraq." Then last month he said, "the problem with what I hear, with Senator Clinton saying, and I've heard others say, is when you talk about maintaining troops, combat troops inside Iraq, based there, and they're focused on anti- terrorism activity within Iraq, that's very similar to what President Bush says. It's very hard to understand where that ends, where the limits are." I believe what Edwards is saying is that he would favor US troops in Iraq to train Iraqis, for logistical support, to guard the US Embassy and to protect American civilians providing humanitarian relief.
He is willing to have US troops conducting combat missions in Iraq against Al Qaeda -- but they would not be stationed within Iraq. So is his chief difference with Clinton that she would be willing to station US troops conducting combat missions against Al Qaeda WITHIN Iraq and he would not? Or is this all about the definition of what a "combat" mission is? If it's counterterrorist against Al Qaeda does it not count as combat? Because the way Edwards portrays their differences it sounds like a chasm -- not these smaller distinctions. Edwards campaign spokesman Eric Schultz says where these counter-terrorism US troops are HQed constitutes a huge difference. These troops are targeted by Iraq insurgents, are symbols of the American "occupation" of the country, inevitably get drawn into other missions, among other distinctions. "Senator Clinton keeps combat troops in Iraq," he says. "That means she continues the war. John Edwards will end the war. Being just a little bit better than the Republicans is not a good enough reason to be President of the United States." Right, but by Edwards' own words other US troops would be stationed in Iraq -- just not conducting combat missions. Would the Iraqi people and the Iraqi insurgents make these distinctions? -- jpt

Woman aims to spread word about human trafficking, empower victims
FARGO – The epiphany hit Melissa Raguse two years ago while she was sitting in Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
She was at a Christian conference for college students, listening to a talk about human trafficking. The speaker told the crowd that more than 20 million people were enslaved around the globe.
When Raguse began trying to put a face to each of those millions, that's when the magnitude of the problem struck her, and she realized her calling was to help victims of sexual exploitation.
"At that point, I didn't know how. I didn't know what to do yet, but I knew that that's what I was supposed to do," she said. "The light bulb came on."
Raguse, who grew up in Atlanta, went on to finish college at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, where she majored in criminal justice. She married a North Dakota State University grad and moved to Fargo.
With that light bulb still burning bright, Raguse is now working to found 1ForceUnited, a nonprofit organization with a mission of spreading the word about human trafficking and empowering its victims.
"We want to rescue as many people as we can, so we're partnering with people like law enforcement," she said. "So they'll call us if they have a rescue victim."
Raguse, 22, plans soon to start a push to raise $500,000 to $750,000 over the next few years to open what she calls a restoration facility, with 12 to 15 beds. She envisions it as a secure place where victims can receive health care, food, clothing and other support that would help them transition to an independent life.
Raguse hopes eventually to hire staff, but right now it's just her working full time on 1ForceUnited, with help from her husband, Ryan Raguse. She's in the process of finding a Fargo site for the facility.
"Once we have the land to build on, we will get started as soon as funds are available," she said.
While many hurdles remain before 1ForceUnited can become more than a vision, leaders of local nonprofit groups say there's a need for a facility focused on caring for victims of human trafficking.
In the last year, Youthworks, which aides runaways and homeless youths in Fargo and Bismarck, has served at least five or six such victims, said Executive Director Melanie Heitkamp.
"There have been many more victims in our centers than we even knew because we didn't know the right questions to ask," she said.
When trying to break free of the control of pimps, victims sometimes feel they're in danger and they may have security needs that a specialized facility could help with, Heitkamp said.
"I do think it's really important to have a place that knows how to handle these situations because they're tricky," she said.
Lately, human trafficking has received much attention from politicians and victims' advocates in North Dakota and elsewhere. Just last week, three events in Fargo spotlighted the issue, including one Friday, where U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, Melanie Heitkamp's sister, hosted a training session on how to recognize sexual exploitation and how to take action against it.
In western North Dakota, the influx of a largely male workforce in the Oil Patch has brought with it a demand for prostitutes. And in some cases, this sex for sale has turned out to be human trafficking.
Law enforcement has had some success in identifying these cases. But tracking the number of victims in the state is difficult because not every agency – nonprofit, government or otherwise – is counting, Melanie Heitkamp said, noting that without data, grant money becomes difficult to obtain.
"We've got a lot of catching up to do in how we're handling victims and how we're helping them," she said.
In Williston, Windie Jo Lazenko has embarked on a project similar to 1ForceUnited. Lazenko, a Southern California native who moved to North Dakota seven months ago, runs 4her North Dakota, a nonprofit group that aims to open a 30-day crisis shelter with at least six beds for victims of sexual exploitation.
"North Dakota is experiencing a great deal of human trafficking," said Lazenko, who welcomes other efforts to assist victims. "We need more than 4her North Dakota to be able to provide statewide services."
This summer, Lazenko is planning an outreach program that would visit truck stops, common markets for prostitution, and would let potential victims know that her organization can help them.
"A lot of the girls don't understand that they're people that count their lives as worthy and really want to see them live a purposeful life," she said.

The concept stems from the wildly popular 'pop-up' phenomenon sweeping the fashion world, mainly in the form of the 'pop-up shop'; Toronto's already hosted a slew of these over the past few months. So what's a pop-up? Well, there are really no rules when it comes to these spontaneous happenings, but here are two constants: the pop-up usually involves a collaboration between two units (one usually extremely powerful, well-known, affluent and the other, up and coming and relatively unknown to the mainstream); secondly, the pop-up's location is a temporary one – usually occupying a space in which its content is patently foreign.
However, when it comes to the pop-up blog all we can say is this: it's going to be awesome. Posts will come at random, often, and will all speak back to our theme, which I don't think I'm allowed to reveal yet. A la mode: the most secretive blogger, ever. But who doesn't love a pleasant surprise?
The best part? You can comment on and participate in all the pop-up posts. So stay tuned for our inaugural post coming very soon.

New Google Maps 'Street View' Causes Ruckus
New Google Maps 'Street View' Causes Ruckus
The new Google Maps Street View feature, which allows users to click on maps in major cities and get real images of the street, is causing a real ruckus on the web. In order to make the map work, Google had to send out a van with a bunch of 360-cameras to get street level images. Turns out, not all the images they picked up are the kind people want broadcast throughout the universe. Captured pictures of an old man jaywalking, a smiling man walking out of a strip club and two fellas walking into a cannabis club have made their mark in San Francisco, while two college gals sunbathing at Stanford University are making their mark on "oh there's a girl nearly naked" scene. And don't even get me started on the image (pictured at right) of what looks to be ET touching down in New York. Turns out, the view from the street might be more exciting than the view from the top afterall.

Chris Hanburger Finds A Ride To The Super BowlPosted by on February 5, 2011 – 8:42 pm
Chris Hanburger waited 28 years to get into the Hall of Fame — although as I wrote earlier, he never really considered it "waiting" as such — and if you listened to his call in to the NFL Network's Hall of Fame announcement show above (at about the 5:10 mark), it sounded like he might have to wait a little longer to make his first appearance as part of the class of 2011.
Host Rich Eisen asked if Hanburger was getting on a plane tonight to get to Dallas to be part of the Super Bowl coin-flip, and Hanburger sounded more than a little skeptical. "Well, not tonight," he said. "Hopefully it's gonna happen tomorrow. I've gotta catch a flight out of South Carolina, go into North Carolina, and then jump on a plane there and head to Dallas. I guess we'll make it, if the weather cooperates."
"Yeah, I hear you," Eisen said, sounding equally skeptical. "You and me both." The weather in Dallas has ranged from bad to atrocious over this Super Bowl week, and there was no guarantee that commercial airlines were going to be able to get the Redskins great to Texas in time.
That problem has since been solved: Hanburger will make the trip to Dallas on Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's private jet, and he's expected to be there in plenty of time. After a 28 year wait, there's no way Chris Hanburger get anything less than the full Hall of Fame experience.
One other Hanburger note: his first phone interview after the announcement was with Larry Michael for Redskins.com TV. It's worth watching, and you can check it out below.

Chris Hanburger Pleased To Be Elected To Hall Of Fame After AllPosted by on February 5, 2011 – 7:30 pm
Former Redskins linebacker Chris Hanburger is excited to be elected into the Hall Of Fame — "just thrilled to death," the nine-time Pro Bowler says — but it's not something that he's been overly concerned about.
"After all these years, it was never anything that I gave a lot of thought to," Hanburger says, "because I've always felt that there are just so many people that have played the game before I ever played, and players that I played with, and certainly players that are playing now and will play after them, and there's just going to be so many deserving people and they'll never even get nominated. So just to be nominated was a tremendous honor, and of course if you make it in there, that's just icing on the cake."
Hanburger may not have been concerned about being honored in Canton, but plenty of other people considered it a huge oversight.

This year's strawbale course project was to build a two-bay cartlodge, re-using an old concrete base to a barn that once stood near the mill pond, We asked John Bradshaw from Assington to construct a double-thickness concrete block foundation to raise the building at least 18" off the ground, the width of a strawbale. The bales came from the Johnson brothers at Yorley farm just over the hill, and had been baled extra dense. As soon as the students left, John added a pantiled roof (County pantiles from Sandtoft) on factory-made trusses with black painted capping boards at each en

You know you've really made it in the fashion world when stoic Karl Lagerfeld lets you hang over him like Cara is in the middle picture. The young model also happens to be fashion's It girl of the moment. Her cat-like eyes, button nose and devious smirk have something to do with it but it's her partying lifestyle and quirky antics that really keep her in the headlines.
Most of the time when she's photographed out and about in London, she looks like a scraggly teenager with a great body. At formal events, she manages to look well put together. Her Chanel Black and White Color Block flap bag is muted and contrasts well with the plum-colored jeans, purple boots and navy jacket. The silver top is a reminder that is a girl who doesn't like playing it safe yet knows just how to work it anyway.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Maslak, Istanbul, Turkey, 2012/09/03 - Forte Consultancy Group announces the completion of its Marketing Analytics Academy - ForteConsultancy.com.
Forte Consultancy Group, the preeminent provider of analytics-driven marketing and sales consultancy services in the EMEA region, today announced the completion of its Marketing Analytics Academy.
The Academy, which ran for a period of eight weeks, was a first of its kind in Turkey. Initially conceptualized by Forte Consultancy Groups Analytics Division Partner Berkin Ozmen, the program was designed to develop the best and brightest graduates from select universities in Turkey around gaining core business analytics skills. We realized that the academic curriculum in universities across Turkey was not sufficient in or effective at preparing students to enter the world of consulting, in particular around data mining and analytics. So we decided to take things into our own hands.
The first step was to determine the objectives of the Academy. We wanted to set up something which would allow us to take fresh college graduates and equip them with the necessary tools so they could hit the ground running, said Mr. Ozmen. The content was then prepared, with the Academy set to run over the course of eight weeks. The key training areas were around marketing analytics concepts and tactics (with a particular focus on the telecommunications sector), corporate acquisition, sales, and retention practices, data mining tools, data preparation, and ultimately, analytics modeling.
The next step was to find the right attendees. We recruited from six or seven of the countrys best universities, with significant time and effort put into attending career fairs and promoting the Academy, said Ayse Ozden, Forte Consultancy Groups Director of Human Resources. We received over 300 applications and ended up choosing the nine best candidates for the program.
Through a variety of classroom and hands-on trainings, case tasks, and individual as well as group assignments, the nine attendees have now successfully completed the Academy (several of which will be joining Forte Consultancy Group on a full-time basis). Though an extensive and exhaustive effort, we believe it was well worth the effort. Each and every one of the attendees has exceeded my expectations by fully embracing what we tried to teach them, said Mr. Ozmen, and added they are ready, in my opinion, to tackle analytics-related consulting assignments.
The overwhelming success of the program has already prompted the company to prepare for next years version. We definitely will be doing this again, said Mr. Ozmen, adding we may mix things up a bit next time by changing the timing and content of the program, but for sure there will be a 2013 Marketing Analytics Academy.

[The purpose of the Digest is informative: Preference is given to papers not generally accessible to our readers. Quotation does indicate approval.–Editor.]
The present position and problems of Reform Judaism are discussed in the Jewish press here and abroad on the occasion of the International Conference of Jewish Liberals, which opened in London, July 10th.
The "American Hebrew," (July 9) observes:
"For the first time in the history of Judaism, representatives of Liberal Jews from many nations will gather to discuss the subject from the point of view of the progressive trend in Judaism as it is manfesting itself in their States.
"The Liberals say Orthodoxy is a dying force that cannot hold Jewish youth within the Jewish fold; the Orthodox see in Liberalism a destroying force that spells the end of Judaism. How reminiscent of the controversies in America fifty years ago! The gathering in London will tend to convince British Jews that Liberalism is not an exotic, but a movement to be reckoned with in the evolution of Judaism. It will prove of invaluable worth to Jewish Liberalism in Great Britain, and we hope to the other countries where the youth of the land is deserting the Synagogue."
The "Jewish Chronicle" of Newark, N. J., a Reform paper, believes that the London conference will be an "epoch-marking event from many points of view."
"First," the paper declares, "it reveals the increasing strength of the Liberal Jewish movement throughout the world to make such a gathering of representatives from many different countries both advisable and profitable. In the meeting there is, moreover, vividly visualized one of the most hopeful signs of our progressive civilization, namely, the essential unity underlying religious groups. In the preliminary correspondence that prepared the way for the London Liberal Jewish Conference, it was also suggested by leaders of the English Reform movement that there would follow the greatest good to the English Jews from an assembly of world representatives of the Reform Jewish cause."
The belief that the notion prevailing in some quarters to the effect that the Conservative synagogue has become freer while the Reform synagogue has become more Orthodox, so that soon there will be a chance for a synthesis between the two, is not altogether tenable, is put forward by the "Reform Advocate" of Chicago (June 26 issue) which writes:
"The amalgamation would be one of hit or miss and would not be lasting. For whatever the outer manifestations of the Liberal Conservative and the Orthodox Reformer, there is a vital difference in the attitude of mind. The Orthodox Reformer may argue for this or that ceremony, but he still has the Reform position about the Bible and about the Talmud, about the validity of the texts and the commandments, and in his views he differs very sharply from the liberal Conservative. They may, at one service or upon one question, seem to speak the same language, but in the long travel they will choose different paths.
"If there is to be a unification of Jewry in America it will not be along the line of the Reformers who have wearied of being pathfinders and the liberal Conservatives who are making the effort to catch up with the stand-still Reformers. The unification will come by a genuine discussion and solution to meet the needs of today along the lines of modern scholarship both in the text and the traditions and in the philosophy and psychology of today."
An entirely different opinion, namely, that there is a narrowing of the differences that separate the Reform and Orthodox Jews in America, is expressed by Dr. Chaim Zhitlowski, who describes his impressions of a tour throughout the United States in "The Day." Writing in the issue of June 27, Dr. Zhitlowski observes, with reference to the alleged tendency of Reform Judaism to come closer to the more conservative element:
"I have no doubt that this phenomenon cannot be explained on purely religious motives, except in regard to a few individuals. In the sense of religion, Reform Judaism has nothing to seek for in the Orthodox Synagogue, while it would lose a great deal there. Religiously, the approximation of the Reform temple to the Orthodox synagogue constitutes a retreat, a sort of reaction.
"But this reaction is explained by the national psychology, the national need, which has welled up of late, precisely among the assimilated Jews. Whether, of its own self, or because of the growing anti-Semitism, there has arisen and rises among them a keen need for a rich, vital Jewish life of their own.
"The national need demands that the assimilated Jews should make the necessary jump toward that field of worldly national Jewish culture, on which the largest part of the Jewish people is already working."
The fact of the convocation of the International Liberal Conference in London is regarded by "Das Juedische Echo" of Munich of June 11th as a refutation of the thesis that the Jews should have no international adhesion and should properly be segregated in each individual country.
"One can hardly believe one's eyes: an international conference for the purpose of breaking into atoms a Judaism that is doomed!" the paper writes. "This International Conference, moreover, is declared to be of ?epoch making importance. At this conference, so we understand, the question of an organization of an international union of Liberal Jews will be discussed. Furthermore–despite the passionate denial of an international cohesion of liberal Judaism–it is declared innocently that Germany, the bulwark of Reform Judaism will be represented at the gathering by a number of leading Reform Jews of this country. Are there not, then, mutual interests and mutual problems which make necessary an organization of an international union?
"The International Liberal Conference," the paper further states, "will have another surprise for the German Liberals of the old tendency. They will sit at this conference at the same table with Zionists! The Liberal Rabbi and Zionist, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, and with him several other American Zionists, will be present at the gathering."
Referring to the eagerness expressed by German Jewish Reformers to meet with the American Jewish Reform Zionists and to exchange views with them, "Das Juedische Echo" expresses its skepticism as to the outcome of such a meeting between the Zionists and anti-Zionists. "We will be grateful to our friends from America," the paper remarks, "if they will succeed in convincing our Landsleute of the necessity and the political harmlessness of Zionism. We fear, however, that their efforts, too, will remain unsuccessful."
"Der Israelit" of Frankfurt Am Main, organ of the Orthodox Jews, contending that Liberal Judaism "finds itself today on the wane in all the countries and has assumed spiritually a defensive position, even in those countries where the number and influence of the Liberal Jews is strongest," suggests that: "There lies before Liberal Judaism today only one solution, a spiritual alliance with Zionism. Zionism holds out to the misled Reform Judaism the warm blood of the historical race tradition without religious obligations of any kind, without, therefore, demanding of Liberal Judaism any compromise on the score of fundamental religious issues," the paper declares its belief.
"Der Israelit" holds that such a step on the part of Liberal Judaism would be a natural development that would heal a breach of long standing, at the same time infusing new vigor into the veins of Reform Judaism and cementing a solid front of all elements for the national Jewish rennaisance.
At a meeting at the Y. M. H. A. Building, in Philadelphia, Pa., called jointly by Rabbi B. L. Levinthal, Jacob Ginsburg, publisher of the "Jewish World," Rabbi Max D. Klein of the Congregation Adath Jeshurun, Judge Wm. M. Lewis and Rabbi Relff of Camden, N. J., a committee was organized to arrange for a campaign in Philadelphia and Atlantic City for the Yeshivah at Hebron, Palestine.
Rabbi Max D. Klein was named Chairman of the Committee.
Associated with Rabbi Klein will be Rabbi B. L. Levinthal as honorary chairman, Jacob Ginsburg, Professor Isaae Husik and Judge William M. Lewis, vice chairman, Rabbi Solomon Gravzel of Camden, secretary and Judge Leopold C. Glass, treasurer.
Twenty-five representative leaders in Philadelphia were present at the luncheon, Mr. Jacob Ginsburg presided.

Essentially, each torsion tester comprises a variable speed drive loading system and a digital control and indicating system in a fixed unit. The weighing head with its strain gage torque sensor is mounted on a moveable unit which can positioned on the rails to accommodate specimens of varying lengths.
All testing hardware is fully complemented by Tinius Olsen developed software that turns your hardware into a sophisticated quality analysis system. Be sure to examine the software products to determine which package is right for your application.

2010 Mazda3
What did they do with the engine temperature and fuel gauge that was on the 2009 model
The fuel gauge is in the lower center of the gauge cluster. It is digital reading like this ( E----|----F). There is no more temperature gauge now, but there is a temp icon that looks like a funny looking sail boat that will light up if the engine is running hot.
Sorry guys, I have not had an opportunity to drive the 2010 Mazda3 just yet. Since it is end of month, I have been really busy (thank God!!!).
I was playing around with the GT w/ tech that I have and was fiddling with the MID system. It's really useful for many reasons. First, it does more then show your various fuel economy readings, but, also gives you real-time maintenance updates for fluids and tires. The display is very vibrant and easy to read, even though the screen is far away and not very big.
I like the idea of the nav system being small. Mazda really went after the Garmin type nav system with integration. There is no need for a 7 in nav screen, although they are nice. This makes nav more affordable, and is still pretty useful.
I have spent some good time in the interior and I have noticed that Mazda has payed huge attention to detail. This interior is so much better then the first gen Mazda3. There are also a lot of soft touch materials, and the car just has a more solid, quality feel to it. I'm not saying that the first gen was not quality, but, the 2010 is just better.
When you park a 2009 next to the 2010, the 2009 really looks dated.....I know, I know...I can't believe it either, considering that the 2009 still looked far more advanced then anything else out there.
I also took notice that there are many personalization features that can be customized, just like the 2009 Mazda6.
Anyway, Mazda is comming for training on Monday, as I said a few days ago. I'm eager to learn how this new Mazda3 works.
Thank you for the information. I wonder if this was a cost cutting action. Cheaper to install a two gauge cluster instead of 3. A little disappointing.
One last question. Can you tell me if the rear seats in the hatchback lay down completely flat like in the Honda Fit?
Each of the 3 dealers here in the Austin, TX area received 4 2010 sedans this week.
I plan to stop by for a look this weekend. I'll be waiting for the hatchback. Just seems like it has more functionality.
AVI - when should we be able to build one (2010) on mazdausa.com and check inventory online?

You can build one on cars.com. They seem to be the first. Checked edmunds, kbb and carsdirect but they don't list the 2010 yet.
familydadx4 Posts: 26I had the opportunity to drive both the 09 and 10 Mazda 3 today. The wife says the difference is like comparing coach with first class. We both agreed the grill looks like a smiley face on the 10. However, the inside materials and ride quality were far superior on the 10. We're going to wait until April-May to check on the Honda Insight and compare with the civic and 3. Right now, I would have to say I'm leaning towards the 3. Nice car!
gamejo1 Posts: 2I was wondering if the 3 was gonna have dual power seats? cuz in everything i've read, its given me mixed messages saying "power seats" but the pacage says 3-mem power drivers seat.
jasonsk287 Posts: 2marsdog-
Dealer is on eastern Long Island, NY. I'd be sure that other dealers in my area have them too, if he has them.
We both agreed the grill looks like a smiley face on the 10.
Were I interested in one, I think it'd have to be black to hide that look a bit.
We went to look at the newly arrived 2010 sedans that arrived this week. The wife instantly changed her mind and opted for a 2009 S Grand Touring Hatchback.
We pick it up tonight. Best price we could get on a 2010 was 500 off MSRP with a custom order and a wait of 2-3 months.
The 09 was loaded with every option/accessory accept for NAV. Walked off with $3000 off MSRP, $1000 cash back from Mazda and zero percent financing for 36 months and a potential tax credit for the sales tax.
To good a deal to pass up and she's happy with the Copper Red Mica and Black Leather interior.
I did the same. After seeing the 2010 I decided to buy the 2009 S Sport Hatchback. I also got $3,000 off MSRP. The 2010 does not have an engine temperature gauge and I don't trust idiot lights. If there is a coolant leak or thermostat problem I would like to know when it is getting hot not when it is already hot. I also prefer the styling both in and out on the 09. So even with the refinements done on the 2010 I''ll take the 09. Enjoy!
"If there is a coolant leak or thermostat problem I would like to know when it is getting hot not when it is already hot."
Sorry, but the temperature gauge on the 2009 Mazda3 will not be able to tell you that. Said another way, if it registers "Hot", it's already too late. Why? Because the needle will continue to point to the "Normal" position until a certain threshold has been reached, and then suddenly jump to the "Hot" position.
I too prefer real temperature gauges, however, what passes for a "temperature gauge" in the era of OBD-II is what could best be described as an idiot needle. In other words, it essentially has three states, cold, normal, and overheated, and this applies to all cars with a gauge from all manufacturers, bar none.
I'm not sure what it is about the OBD-II specifications that preclude manufacturers from putting a real temperature gauge in their cars, but I haven't driven a single car since the mid to late 1990s that had a real gauge, my Mazdas, Dodges, VWs and BMWs included.
With all that said, I suppose an OBD-II style idiot needle is slightly more desirable compared to an idiot light, but not by much.
Best regards,
Are you sure about VW? My wife's 2005.5 Jetta has actual temperatures shown on the guage and I think where it points does vary...unlike my Mazda6 which is always right in the middle as soon as it is barely warm enough to provide a little heat.
I don't think it has anything to do with OBD II, I think the change to the "idiot needle" cam about because too many of us are idiots and would be concerned that the needle was pointing a bit toward the hot side, while still well below the red danger area.
Walked off with $3000 off MSRP, $1000 cash back from Mazda and zero percent financing for 36 months
Does the $3000 off include the rebate or did you actually get $4000 off, after the rebate is considered?
Am I 100% sure that all temperature gauge equipped cars with OBD-II have idiot needles? No. Am I 90% sure? Yes.
Regarding your wife's Jetta, once the needle gets up to the "normal" spot, I'd be very surprised if it varies even a single degree (in travel not in temperature), regardless of what's actually happening under the hood.
FWIW, I've owned a number of pre-OBD VWs and Audis, and the temperature gauges were very lively, even to the point of being able to tell exactly when the thermostat opened following a cold start. That said, my last VW (a Passat) had a temperature gauge that, once it moved to "normal", was deader than a doornail.
Best regards,
Hey Everyone-
Mazda decided to come today for training, as opposed to yesterday because of the blizzard we had. So, here are my thoughts...
There is much more valuable features in the 2010 Mazda3 like DSC/ TSC on all Mazda3's from the i Touring on up. The MID on the "s" models is very useful and very easy to read. The GT trim has so much content, and the price stayed the same as an 09. The nav system is based off of an SD card, which is a lot easier to update, as well as maintain. The SD card system also makes updates and future modifications to the nav system much easier.
I really like the adaptive front-lighting system. There is no car in this class that offers this, as well as bi-xenon headlights. The GT is really big bang for your buck.
The interior materials and build quality are much better then the 09. It's probably one of the nicest interior I have ever seen. All controls are driver focused and easy to use. Even the nav controls on the steering wheel are easy to figure out, and only takes about 5 min to learn all the buttons on the steering wheel. They operate very similar to the outgoing model.
The seats are more supportive and made out of higher quality material. Mazda also extended the seat bottom an extra inch for those of us with long legs (I'm 6'3", so, I love it!) and an extra inch on the seat back.
Road noise has been drastically reduced! This car is quiet! For those of us who are familiar with the first gen, there is a lot of road noise, and bumps can easily be heard in the cabin. Mazda basically eliminated this. You can hardly even hear the engine going, unless the RPM's are high.
Road feel:
The car handles just as good as the 1st gen. The frame is stiffer by using 40% more high tensile steel then gen1. The suspension also has stiffer bushings, creating a stiffer ride, however, since the car rides so much more quiet, you cannot hear the car absorbing those bumps.
Purely subjective. The photos do the car no justice. The car looks much better in person. I stopped at the Vitamine Shoppe today in the 2010 Mazda3 to pick up some supplements, and the sales guy came in to my store early this afternoon to take a closer look at it. He loved the front end. While the front end is controversial, it's not as bad in person as the pics. It is actually growing on me. I never thought that would happen, but, I'm starting to like it.
The rest of the car is beautiful. The rear is really stylish.
I really like this car. I am probably going to consider it to replace my Mazda6 with. I'm also really happy that the pricing is virtually the same. That's a big thing, considering our economy.
This car will sell well. I really like it. The test drive is what really sold me. It really is much better then the 09. I didn't think that was possible, but, Mazda did it. They improved on perfection. Kudos.
Excellent comments. Thanks so much for keeping us all updated.
Can't wait to get my hands on my Grand Touring Hatchback!!
I will let you know when you can expect to see them on dealer lots. Mazda has not shipped any just yet.
Thank you so much!!
You're the best...wish you were closer so I could give you the sale
My local dealer has one (hatchback) in Liquid Silver. GT automatic. It is beautiful. It came in Friday night with the 4-door. Both look great.
So it sounds like the gauge works off a temperature switch like an idiot light and not an actual sending unit. Yes, I have noticed the sudden spikes that the temp gauge makes in my 09. My 2004 Dodge responds gradually like older vehicles. While it is a slight dissapointment I would still take the gauge over the warning light. According to Avi it sounds like the road noise is improved as compared to the 09. And I was hoping it was just the tires.
While I won't claim that my 2009 Mazda3 i Touring is the quietest car in the world (not by a long shot), it did get noticable quieter when I yanked the crappy Goodyear Eagle RS-As at 714 miles and had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires mounted in their place.
Best regards,

Improved is an understatement. The 2010 is near silent compared to gen1.

I'm in search of 17" tires to replace my Michelin Pilot's on my Mazda6. They are loud, and makes the ride a little to harsh for my tastes. The ride quality has greatly diminished since the tires have really begun to wear.

We are all entitled to an opinion. No question about that. However, in reference to the $25,500 sticker you saw, name another car that has an MSRP of $25,500 that you can get the following in......
167hp/168tq engine
6-speed manual / 5-speed auto
leather / variable heated seats / power driver seat w/memory
keyless entry & push button start
Bluetooth 2.0 w/ Bluetooth audio
bi-xenon hi and low beams
adaptive rotating head lights
MID (fuel econ, real time maintainence update)
17" allow wheels
Bose s
surround sound w/ 10 speakers
moon roof
antitheft alarm
.....just to list a few features.....
....most importantly, you get more equipment then a 2009 GT w/nav for $300 LESS!!!!!
Now, if you are penny wise, then buy an 09 because of the aggressive Mazda support.
mandymusika Posts: 42This might seem like a silly question, but is there anhors in the back of the hatchback model that could be used to anchor down a cat carrier? I am looking to buy a couple of carriers for my cats that allow me to tether them to the vechile (much safer for them in an accident) but am wondering if hte mazda 3 has availble anchors for this? Maybe I could use the LATCH? Do you think it's accessible from the back of the hatch?
mz6greyghost Posts: 1,230That's not a silly question at all. I don't know about any anchors or tie-downs (aviboy should have an answer for that), but have you tried placing the carriers behind the front seats on the floor, using both the front and rear seat to hold it in place? I do this all the time with my cats, and they've never moved...
I agree, changing the crappy Goodyear tires on the car will help a lot since the tires are the source of most of the noise IMO on our 2009 Mazda3 i Touring VE. I changed the Michelin Precadas to Michelin Exaltos on my MX-5 at 17K miles and saw a huge improvement in road noise and handling in wet and dry conditions. Mazda has to get their act together and provide OEM tires that aren't a POS.
But the front wheel wells obviously needs some sound deadening material as well since you can hear sand off the roads hitting the wheel wells inside the car. Maybe some undercoating would help this.
Does anyone know what the tires on the 17" wheels are on the 2010s?
BTW - 2010s are showing up at dealers in the Boston area this week.

Froyle, or to be more accurate, Upper and Lower Froyle, is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire District of Hampshire, England. It is 3.6 miles (5.8 km) northeast of Alton, just off the A31 road. The population of the parish in the UK census of 2011 was 644.
Froyle is situated on the edge of The Downs above the Pilgrims' Way that leads from Winchester to Canterbury. It is most likely that, in the winter months, the actual route taken by Pilgrims passed through the village to avoid the wet conditions in the valley of the River Wey.
Research Tips
Parishes in the Alton Hundred of Hampshire and the Farnham Hundred of Surrey have been omitted from the Victoria County Histories. This may be because they were set up later than the other hundreds.

C-SPAN wants to televise health talks
C-SPAN wants to televise House-Senate negotiations on the final health care bill — in a bid to keep Democrats, and the Obama administration, to their pledges of maximum transparency.
On Dec. 30, C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb requested access from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).
It's not clear if they've responded yet; We have e-mails in to the whole crew.
The letter:
As your respective chambers work to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate health care bills, C-SPAN requests that you open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage.
The C-SPAN networks will commit the necessary resources to covering all of these sessions LIVE and in their entirety. We will also, as we willingly do each day, provide C-SPAN's multi-camera coverage to any interested member of the Capitol Hill broadcast pool.
Since the initial introduction of the America's Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 in the House and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the Senate
C-SPAN has televised literally hundreds of hours of committee hearings, mark ups and floor debate on these bills for the public to see. And importantly, we have archived all of this video for future generations to study in the C-SPAN Video Archives.
President Obama, Senate and House leaders, many of your rank-and-file members, and the nation's editorial pages have all talked about the value of transparent discussions on reforming the nation's health care system. Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the Chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American.
We hope you will give serious consideration to this request. We are most willing to employ the latest digital technology to make the cameras, lights and microphones as unobtrusive as possible.

Interview With Food Network's Rescue Chef, Danny Boome
Speaking With Renaissance Man Danny Boome
Earlier this week I got a call from Food Network's latest star, the British charmer and self-proclaimed renaissance man, Danny Boome. Danny's new show, The Rescue Chef, debuts tomorrow at noon and I'll be watching. The show pairs Danny with home cooks who are desperate to overcome culinary obstacles. And according to Danny, there is no problem he can't solve, no dish he can't make. To see what he had to say when we spoke over the phone,
Danny became interested in cooking while working as a manny — a male nanny — in Switzerland. Before leaping across the pond, he had a successful television career in the UK. He points out that cooking is not rocket science and enjoys providing home cooks with the basic techniques needed to build culinary confidence. Here's what he had to say:
PartySugar: What's it like dealing with people who aren't used to the camera?
Danny Boome: Surprisingly the people become very comfortable. They forget the cameras are there and are really more interested in the recipes. They want to learn how to deal with their culinary faux pas so I help them look at the language of cooking and break it down.
PS: With your show, what do you hope to teach the American people?
DB: I want to change the way people look at cookery. It's about practice, confidence, and fun. Don't get caught up in the ingredient in the recipes, if you only have chicken on hand, use that.
PS: Do you cook at home like you do on the show?
DB: Of course. I'm a bachelor, but I like to cook with the ingredients that I have on hand. It's a basic and quick way to do things. I'm always experimenting. With cookery you can really make it as basic and fun as you like.
PS: What's your advice to the everyday home cook?
DB: I've got loads of tips! Look at the show, look in cookbooks, experiment in your kitchen. Own it. It's about confidence, don't ever think "I can't do that." Push yourself!
PS: What did you have for lunch today?
DB: Well I haven't eaten lunch yet. I always eat on the go because I am very busy. Usually I have one big meal a day. Because I cook so much, I am so used to cooking all time, that I don't sit down to three meals.
I'm really curious to see what he does as he "sweeps the nation in a culinary revolution." Check out his show and let me know what you guys think of The Rescue Chef.

Scion tC: Same is the new different
To commemorate a decade of producing cars for customisation-practising youth, Scion unveiled a refreshed version of its plucky front-drive tC on 28 Mar at the New York auto show, in addition to special editions of the brand's existing lineup.
Beloved by enthusiasts who appreciate the car's non-overpowering design – the better to add one's own flavour through customising — the tC was Scion's first attempt at a two-door coupe, introduced to the US for the 2005 model year. For 2014, the tC receives the lightest of retouches, with revised head- and taillight arrays and new materials in the cabin. The tC's powertrain, a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine producing 179 horsepower, is unchanged, as are the standard six-speed manual and available automatic transmissions.
When the 2014 tC arrives in June, it will face a more powerful Kia Forte Koup, unveiled here on 27 March. And if a would-be tC buyer has a few extra thousand dollars on hand, the tC must neutralise the tractor beam of the rear-wheel-drive FR-S sports coupe, developed in partnership with Subaru.
For its dearth of truly new products, the press conference in New York held significance for Scion and its corporate parent, Toyota, as the brand made its premiere at the show 10 years ago. In recognition, the brand will sell 10,000 copies of Scion 10 Series special editions of its xB and xD small cars, as well as its iQ supermini. The trim package consists of Silver Ignition paint, a number badge and various trim accessories.
Pricing for these and the 2014 tC will be announced closer to their sale dates.
