Republicans have moved to try to delay a full Senate vote for Chuck Hagel's nomination as the next secretary of defense after the former Republican senator received a straight party-line vote out of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.
Senate leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., attempted to set a full Senate vote for Wednesday evening. When it became apparent that would be impossible because of Republican opposition, he set the vote for Friday after he filed for a cloture.
"This is the first time in the history of the country that a presidential nominee for secretary of defense has been filibustered," Reid said Wednesday. "What a shame, but that's the way it is."
Filing for a cloture means the Democrats will need a super majority, or 60 votes, to end debate and hold the Senate floor vote on Friday. Democrats make up 55 votes in the Senate. Reid and other Democrat leaders have said they are confident they will find the other five votes to end the filibuster.
Republican leaders have said they don't see their actions as a filibuster. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Foreign Policy he wouldn't call it a filibuster even though he said the Republicans will require the 60-votes to end debate. A cloture is the political mechanism required to end a filibuster.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also said he wouldn't describe the Republicans actions as a filibuster saying a filibuster is a "bad precedent" to set. He is one Republican senator who is considering voting to end the cloture.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who earlier was expected to back Hagel, is another Republican expected to vote to end the debate even though she plans to now vote against Hagel. Collins said she will not vote for him because of his past positions, votes and statements.
Other Republican senators have been more aggressive in their criticism of Hagel and determination to keep him out of the Pentagon. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC., said he would "not going to let this go … the debate on Chuck Hagel is not over," according to USA Today report.
Graham said he wanted answers from the White House on the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, before a vote was taken on Hagel. Previously, Graham focused his opposition on Hagel's past comments about Iran, Israel and the power of the Israel lobby to intimidate politicians.
According to the Senate's history, the Senate has confirmed "well over 500 Cabinet nominations" since the Washington administration. In all that time, it has rejected only nine, according to the Senate history.
Lawrence Korb, an assistant secretary of defense during the Reagan administration, said the effort to halt Hagel's nomination is unique.
"Tower lost, but they let him have a vote," Korb said, recalling the 1989 nomination of former Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, to be secretary of defense. Tower, who was nominated by President George H.W. Bush, was rejected 53 to 47.
"I've never seen anything like this. We've had people get a lot of votes against them [but still be approved]," he said. One of those was Robert Gates, the secretary of defense prior to Leon Panetta. Gates served twice as the director of the CIA. He received 33 negative votes the first time he was up for directorship.
"To the extent they drag this out it will make the challenges more difficult for [Hagel" if he is finally approved, Korb said. "He'll be up for it, but it will be more of a challenge."

Defects in Dos Equis Ambar bottles are causing problems for Heineken USA, the Mexican beer's U.S. importer.
Heineken on Wednesday announced a voluntary recall of 6 and 12-packs in 43 states after the company's routine inspections determined a defect that created the "potential for small grains or particles of glass to separate from the inside lip of the bottle and fall into the liquid."
At the same time, the company is pulling new ad spots that featured Ambar, a dark lager that makes up about 30% of Dos Equis' total sales, according to an AdAge report.
The recall comes at a really bad time for Heineken, which recently stocked its "Popular Beers of Mexico" pack, a sampler that included several bottles of Dos Equis Ambar, just in time for Cinco De Mayo. The recall is affecting major markets like California and New York, so if the company isn't able to restock shelves in time for the holiday, it could represent a major loss for Heineken.
Dos Equis is an important brand for Heineken, which bought Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma Brewery, where it is made, in 2010. Since then American sales of the brand have risen steadily, with sales up double digits last year.
The snafu is also a prime example of the problems that can arise for importers. While the bottle was caused by a third party distributor, it's Heineken that will have to deal with the recall headache.
UPDATE: We heard from a Heineken spokesperson who said that the recall is a "very manageable situation" and that store shelves will be fully stocked with Dos Equis Lager for Cinco De Mayo." She added that they do not expect a signficant financial effect from the situation.

I have two systems of non-linear equations. The equations are continuously differentiable in the domain that I am interested in.
Let $x_1, y_1$ solve the following system of equations.
$f(x,y)=0\\ g(x,y)=0$
Let $x_2,y_2$ solve
$f(x,y)=0\\ g(x,y)=c$
Were $c>0$ is a constant. For simplicity and for starters we can assume that these solutions are unique. I have the functional forms of $f$ and $g$ and they are very long, painful and non-linear. I have some non-math intuition that the following are true and I would love some help and suggestions on the things I can try to do to prove these statements:
$x_2 > x_1 \\ y_2 > y_1 \\ x_2-x_1 > y_2-y_1 $
Thanks a lot,
Please feel free to make simplifying assumptions. For example, we can take $c>0$ to arbitrarily small for starters and see where that takes us.
I'm not sure if I can show this but suppose $f(x,y)$ and $g(x,y)$ satisfied the implicit function theorem then perhaps we could get some traction on this.

A lot went on in October in the Yizkor Book Project and, for instance, I was excited to see that for several projects, we are getting closer and closer to seeing the translation of whole books online. Clearly, such a feat doesn't come about overnight and without a dedicated team effort which usually takes months and even years but, believe me, it is definitely worth the effort providing the researchers of today and tomorrow, a wealth of information on our communities which were destroyed in the Holocaust. To give you an idea of how of the number of communities involved, at this stage in time, the Yizkor Book Project now contains information on around 1500 communities and 650 books and we continue to press on to cover communities, yet to be reached.
I must point out that our html team is integrally behind this month's extraordinary achievement and so, my heartfelt thanks go out to Osnat Ramaty, Max Heffler and Jason Hallgarten for their continued efforts, never saying no and for maintaining such high standards of work.
Please note that the translations that are online can be reached by clicking on blue links in the indexes and tables of contents, so that if you find that the article you're looking for has no link, it means that it hasn't been translated yet. If this is the case, I suggest you contact the coordinator of the particular book you're interested in or if there is no coordinator, please contact me and I'll see what can be done to facilitate the translation.
Note that a very positive way of helping to see translations placed online is by supporting one of the many Translation Funds which have been set up to bring about the professional translation of the Yizkor Books. If you feel able to support this effort, please go to the Yizkor Book JewishGen-erosity
to learn about the Translation Funds currently underway.
And further about translations; in recent times, I have received messages from Hebrew speakers who would like to read the Yizkor Books but are unable to read Yiddish sections and are not fluent enough in English to read our online translations. For this reason, we have begun to add in Hebrew translations - for instance, for Staszow, Poland and I would be pleased to hear from volunteers who are able to translate from Yiddish to Hebrew, or from the English into Hebrew to help make progress on this initiative for other Yizkor books.
All of this month's additions and updates have been flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them.

Sublime Torture, Peerless Pride
Whether you spell your annual year-long kayak fishing contest AOTY or WCW, winning one of these things is a job for a marathon man.
"It's kind of a relief. It's pretty stressful once you get midway in the year when you're leading or near the top. It makes you want to spend a lot of time on the water. The last week I was out eleven hours a day and still didn't come up with a fish," Greg Barnicoat said, as glad his months-long trial was finally over as he was proud of his achievement.
Barnicoat won the fifth annual West Coast Whoppers year-long tournament hosted by Big Waters Edge, a Southern California online kayak fishing community. As with most of his predecessors, the monumental effort left Barnicoat a bit shell-shocked and leery of attempting to repeat as WCW champ. Put another way, it takes so much effort to get to the top of this mountain, many winners retire while they're still at the top of the game.
For those who are just hearing about it, WCW is a points race based on an angler's best catch each month. Only relative trophies count, and only Southern California's three kayak glamour fish apply.
Think about what it takes. To win, you have to produce month after month, regardless of nasty weather or slow fishing. Remember, a kayak's nowhere as comfy as a couch or even the most humble of boats. This is a wet, physically demanding sport.
I haven't written about Barnicoat's glittering prize haul because there isn't one. WCW's top competitors do it largely for bragging rights, for pride and fun. Barnicoat earned a share of a modest jackpot. Otherwise the most tangible reward is a small emblem that appears on his BWE internet posts. Many competitors sign up just to track their catches and for the monthly shot of motivation. Barnicoat was one of them. Then things changed.
"I had the only entry for January, had an entry for February, then came March," Barnicoat said. In that month he tallied a 51-lb white seabass and the biggest halibut of the contest, a 38-lb doormat. Those trophies pushed Barnicoat out to a big lead he never relinquished.
Barnicoat accomplished several impressive feats. He was the first LA county-based winner (La Jolla locals had dominated to this point), a member of the stalwart Baytubers group. He was the first to lead wire-to-wire. Most shockingly, he sheepishly admitted to only16 months in the sport. That last one is a doozy. Past winners boasted extensive experience along with the fiery drive to win, complementing opportunity – time on the water.
"I always say from the get-go, the person who wants it the most is going to win the tournament," WCW organizer Andrew Allen of OEX Sunset Beach said. Allen is prepping for the 2011 contest. It will start later this year, to give anglers a chance to relax before gearing up for another go.??Barnicoat was humble in victory. "Even with the lead I still didn't think I was likely going to win the tournament. If Jasmin (the eventual second place finisher) had caught a good fish he could have beat me at the end. I would never have won it if it wasn't for the coaching of John Gugliotta. In December of last year, when I caught my then-best 25-lb halibut, he coached me through it."
Northern California's Masochist Marathon
Northern California has its own flavor of crazy, the annual Angler of the Year contest hosted by the NorCal Kayak Anglers webpage. Although it is a species-based event that takes the top ten individual point scores from a list of 20 fish, it requires just as much grit and want-to to win. It's often come down to kayak fishing in the snow. Anything to get a last minute edge.
2010 AOTY champ Allen Leepin sounds a lot like his southern counterpart when he admits to some nerves near the end of the year. Leepin edged out his nearest competitor by 16 points, winning 1704 to 1688. Point awards are based on fish length. To put that score into context, it roughly amounts to an extra inch of rockfish and another of trout.
Leepin notched an early lead with a 55-inch sturgeon, then followed it up with a day he ironically terms "the fiasco." Not for him – for trophy fish. Paddling out of Half Moon Bay with his adult son and friends, he caught a limit of chunky white seabass and a big halibut in a mere 30 minutes. No one else hooked up. That's one way to quickly distance yourself from the crowd.
For his efforts, Leepin won a Hobie Mirage Drive kayak of his choice and the ever-popular priceless bragging rights. In particular, over his son Patrick, the 2009 AOTY champion by a nose over a certain second place finisher. That was tough. "I have to see that kid all the time," Leepin joked.
Leepin is no Johnny come lately. As early as the late 70s, he spent a lot of time fishing and diving from fiberglass dive boards – precursors to today's fishing kayaks. "We just did it (fished the ocean) to kill time between dives. I was also using my 25 year old fiberglass board for steelhead fishing and on the rivers," Leepin said. Let's hear it for the old salt!
Leepin took some pains to explain why people fish the AOTY, even those who don't expect to win.
"It gets us out more. That's the whole point of AOTY," Leepin said. To get anglers to fish out of their comfort zones, for species they otherwise wouldn't try. "Otherwise I never would have gone for sturgeon, bass or crappie," Leepin added.
NCKA has the 2011 version of AOTY up and running, although there are a few details yet to be determined such as the prize list. It scarcely matters. Competing in one of California's two year-long kayak fishing contests is its own reward – although more than a few past winners would say it's so hard-earned, a vacation is in order.

I wanted to take a moment a say thank you to Mr. Lebowitz & WON for your continued coverage of the MPLA meetings. Also the trend in his last few articles has been much to our liking as he reports on the major players in the kayak fishing community. Last but not least Paul's big color pictures really draw the reader into the story. Sincerely, John Pawlak El Cajon, CA

What would give you more satisfaction: 3/4 of an ounce of cookies (about 2, depending upon the type) or 1 cup (about 35 grapes) of grapes? OK, I'll admit satisfaction might not be the correct word, especially when it comes to comparing cookies to fruit, but what they do have in common is 100 calories.
That amount of cookies (3/4 oz.) is how much you get in one of those cute little 100-calorie snack packets. Many companies have been trying to make eating on-the-go easier for people by making these pre-packaged 100-calorie snacks.

- Property Division – One of the worst things about marital breakdown, apart from the emotional turmoil that the couple has to go through, is finding a suitable way to divide up property.

- Domestic Violence / Abuse – Domestic violence in Sacramento, also referred to as partner abuse, spouse abuse, or battering, happens when one person uses force to cause injury, either emotional or physical, on another person they have, or had, a relationship with.

- Grandparent Visitation – Generally, in the population as a whole, visitation issues are never too much of a problem but cases do arise with in-laws when they do not have a good relationship with each other.

Visual comparisons are to infographics what metaphors are for poetry. A very basic but very effective tool. A good visual comparison has infinitely more strength than any cipher just written. The viusla comparison gives context, call the attention over the fact and provides valious information.
That is why I start this series about great comparisons, to demonstrate thatshow is almost always better than tell.

OFA and ANLA Announce First Joint Event
The Association of Horticulture Professionals and The American Nursery and Landscape Association (ANLA) have announced the development of a new, joint event named "Next Level," that will take place Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, 2013 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
According to OFA CEO Michael Geary, "Every individual, every organization has a next level, the next dimension of performance and results to realize. The Next Level event is designed to help participants clarify their own next level, expose them to the ideas and insights to help bridge that gap, and connect them to like-minded colleagues who can support their journey."
The Next Level event will be unique in its focus on education that focuses attendees on working on their business, not just in their business. ANLA and OFA have retained the services of nationally-recognized educational event designer Jeffrey Cufaude to help plan this meeting. He will work with a planning committee made up of members from both organizations. With direction from volunteer leaders, an initial meeting with the staffs of OFA and ANLA, held in June, defined the goals for the conference.
Bob Dolibois, ANLA's executive vice president said, "Our industry faces a new normal in terms of the economy, our customers and our competitors. The top industry firms of the next 20 years need to identify how their businesses have to change in order to enjoy continued success. This meeting is the place where that will happen."
The educational program is currently under development. Further details will be available at the end of September.
For more information on the partnership between OFA and ANLA and the Next Level event visitwww.onevoiceoneindustry.com.

Zika: constructing an epidemic "Save our Babies!"
Posted by lightenup in Health, Media, Uncategorized on September 9, 2016
WHO is at it again.* This time they have chosen a perfect scare mongering vehicle in a virus that apparently only shows symptoms in 1 out of 5 people infected. The symptoms are so mild that most often a doctor visit is not required: sore throat, fever, sore joints, and conjunctivitis. Yet because there is a "suspicion" of a link between the horror of microcephaly and this virus, we are all supposed to be afraid, "Be verrrrwwwy Afwaaaaiiid." With no basis in science AT ALL.
I will list links here to document the illogic of the construction of this "SERIOUS epidemic"(according to WHO), most recent first.
Remember to check who or what is "linking" microcephaly to zika. If it isn't FACTS, steps should be taken to eradicate that misinformation first. This is getting tiresome with all the bunk science and junk "reporting". Please use your discernment.
Continuing to DE-bunk the "links": Most recent efforts first.
10/28/16 "In conclusion, the findings of this review opens up the debate on the connection between the Zika virus and the birth defect attributed to mosquito-borne microcephaly, given that there is no documented case of birth defect in Africa 69 years after the discovery of the Zika virus."
9/9/16 The BS flow increases despite scientific efforts to stem the tide:
New doubts on Zika as cause of microcephaly https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160624150813.htm
From SCIENCE daily (tagline: Your source for the latest RESEARCH news) comes an article questioning the Zika mosquito link due to its prevalence in areas where there is no concurrent cluster of microcephaly cases that show up. Scientists are smart enough, thank god, to question why.
Brazil's microcephaly epidemic continues to pose a mystery — if Zika is the culprit, why are there no similar epidemics in other countries also hit hard by the virus? In Brazil, the microcephaly rate soared with more than 1,500 confirmed cases. But in Colombia, a recent study of nearly 12,000 pregnant women infected with Zika found zero microcephaly cases. If Zika is to blame for microcephaly, where are the missing cases?
From WHO (italics and text color mine): Zika Causality Statement 9/7/16
The panel of experts5 concluded:
- The most likely explanation of available evidence from outbreaks of Zika virus infection and clusters of microcephaly is that Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of congenital brain abnormalities including microcephaly;
- The most likely explanation of available evidence from outbreaks of Zika virus infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome is that Zika virus infection is a trigger of GBS.
The expert panel recognizes that Zika virus alone may not be sufficient to cause either congenital brain abnormalities or GBS. It is not known whether these effects depend on as yet uncharacterized co-factors being present. Nor is it known whether dengue virus plays a part; dengue virus is carried by the same species of mosquito and has circulated in many countries during the same period.
We now have 4 "confirmed" cases. "The C.D.C. and Florida officials said that for now, the area of concern is limited to one square mile in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami,"
1 SQUARE MILE. Its a mild virus and there is NO PROVEN LINK TO Microcephaly. Amen.
10 articles in one news outlet just in the month of June focusing on zika in upstate New York, which a Cornell University mosquito expert says is not even remotely going to be bothered by it. Anyone seeing an agenda here?
So much wrong going on in this article. The term "pregnancy surveillance" gave me pause. Mixing up the truth and conjecture into a mind mush that you can only unravel if you have the time and everybody knows neither of us do. I suggest you look for these phrases and ideas to filter crap out: perhaps, maybe, it is conjectured, supposed, possible, possibly, theorized, evidence of, not yet verified, early results indicate, consistent with. ALL THESE PHRASES denote not PROVEN anything. Looking into how they are gathering the statistics, you need to look up the testing/reporting rubrics. I did that for H1N1 and it was completely faulty.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/number-zika-cases-u-increases-000000591.html?nhp=1 from Yahoo news, this headline:
The CDC is jumping on the hopla wagon now. 5 consecutive people you ask in the US can not name the US territories. The fact that the article implies a drastic increase in the US and it's territories, means nothing. It's infection rate is most likely cyclical like every other virus. Please fact check the schlock that is peddled as terrifying or fear-mongering news.
Zika virus infections have been around for decades in the Pacific islands.
Some Pacific and Caribbean Islands are US territories
So far every US mainland case of the virus has been in people who traveled from places where the virus is prevalent. Because it was stated in the US AND TERRITORIES you are being deliberately misled.
There are NO ZIKA MOSQUITOs in the US.
There is no PROVEN LINK between the virus and microcephaly. NONE.
http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_analysis/2987137/argentine_and_brazilian_doctors_suspect_mosquito_insecticide_as_cause_of_microcephaly.html Another hat thrown into the ring for the cause of increased microcephaly cases. This insecticide is placed directly into drinking water. A mention of poverty and lack of sanitation finally shows up as a possible causative factor as well.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/02/08/obama-asks-emergency-zika-funding/80002570/#w 1.8 Billion? For something that has not even happened in the US? That didn't take very long compared to say, addressing the Flint water crisis? The speed of the "problem" identified along with the huge price tag of the immediate "solution" is cause for pause in itself.
This article is about the release of genetically modified mosquitoes to fight zika virus and the inconclusive results of that procedure. The key point here is that if you are conflating a rise in microcephaly with something, how can you be sure of which something is the right something?
https://birdflu666.wordpress.com/2015/12/12/is-the-zika-virus-in-brazil-being-spread-by-genetically-modified-mosquitoes-funded-by-bill-gates/ "….In short, these genetically modified mosquitoes could be the cause of the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil and other parts of South and Central America. "If these mosquitoes are completely safe, then why the hush-hush?" says Gurmit Singh, chair of the Centre for Environment, Technology and Development in Malaysia, another country slated for an Oxitec field trial."
and http://www.oxitec.com/press-release-oxitec-mosquito-works-to-control-aedes-aegypti-in-dengue-hotspo/ *"the city of Piracicaba has started the world's first municipal project of genetically engineered mosquito control."
Zika virus patent, is owned by the Rockefeller Foundation; http://www.globalresearch.ca/who-owns-the-zika-virus/5505323 :
https://www.yahoo.com/health/zika-virus-transmitted-through-sexual-contact-in-210356877.html although clearly stated by Angela Vassallo, MPH, MS, director of infection prevention and epidemiologist at Providence St Johns Health Center in California, "I think we need more research, especially in regards to pregnant women and women who are thinking of getting pregnant… We don't know enough yet to make definitive statements. There's a whole lot more we need to know." the article continues to link birth defect possibilities for zika.
" A blood test is available to screen for Zika, but it is controlled through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Schweizer explains. The blood test is limited, though, because it can only detect the Zika virus during a window of three to seven days after the onset of symptoms." When did this virus start being transmitted sexually? This is the first account I have come across.
red text mine
WHO ALERT From RSOE Biological Hazard in Other on February 02 2016 04:03 AM (UTC)." ….The WHO alert puts Zika in the same category of concern as Ebola. It means research and aid will be fast-tracked to tackle the infection. There have been around 4,000 reported cases of microcephaly in Brazil alone since October. " See articles below to debunk this one.
WHO director general, Margaret Chan called Zika an "extraordinary event" that needed a co-ordinated response…" Why? The link is unproven, unproven, unproven.
"The only way to avoid catching it is to avoid getting bitten by the Aedes mosquitoes that transmit the infection." It is NOT spread human to human, so why the panic?
"WHO has already warned that Zika is likely to "spread explosively" across nearly all of the Americas." WHO continues to warn us incorrectly that we will have millions die from many epidemics that have never panned out.
"More than 20 countries, including Brazil, are reporting cases. Most infections are mild and cause few or no symptoms, although there have been some reported cases of a rare paralysis disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome." Bolding mine. Guillain-Barre syndrome occurs as a complication with other viral and bacterial infections as well.
Good propaganda can only hold up to 80% lies mixed with 20% truth-ish. red text mine.
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/brazil-270-4120-suspected-microcephaly-cases-confirmed-36553299 "But the World Health Organization and others have stressed that any link between Zika and the defect remains circumstantial and is not yet proven scientifically." There's your truth.
"The birth defect can be caused by factors such as genetics, malnutrition or drugs. Infections are also a cause — in the United States, one of the leading causes is cytomegalovirus …" Larger than usual truth/BS ratio in this article.
and "Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the virus. Two were stillborn and four were live births, three of whom later died, the ministry said." That means 264 of the microcephaly babies were born to mothers that DID NOT HAVE ZIKA infections! Hardly enough evidence there for a world epidemic panic response.
http://news.yahoo.com/more-2-100-pregnant-colombian-women-infected-zika-205106522.html In this article there is an attempt to cause anxiety about how many people have been infected, as this at the end of the article shows: "The World Health Organization has said as many as 4 million people in the Americas may become infected."
Anyone familiar with how difficult it is to correctly identify the exact type of virus causing an infection knows these figures are all conjectures, not statistics. ( See my post re: swine flu and H1N1 which were also supposed to kill us all) Note the unnecessary expansion of the scope of this latest terror: "the America(s)" and the use of the word "may".
There are two very important facts brought forth in this article that balance out the bullshit to fulfill the 20/80 percent of truth/lies of any good propaganda.
Colombia has had NO CASES of microcephaly
Columbia uses zika as a valid reason for abortion in a country that otherwise does not allow abortion except in cases of rape or potential of death of the mother to carry the baby. Hence the pregnant women with zika statistic.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/01/29/brazil-may-have-fewer-zika-related-microcephaly-cases-than-previously-reported/ "Some scientists said the new data suggest that Brazil will have fewer cases of Zika-related microcephaly than originally feared. The country may have over-counted microcephaly cases because it initially asked doctors to report all births of babies with a head circumference of 33 centimeters or less — but some of those were simply children with normally small heads."
"After experts scrutinized 732 of the cases they found that more than half either weren't microcephaly, or weren't related to Zika."
In other words FAULTY DATA and incomplete reporting, are fueling a rush for the panic button by WHO and now Obama..

This world is crazy screwed up.
Careening towards global annihilation of humanity or the ecosystem, it's hard to tell which will come first?
Human beings are capable of the most heinous crimes against each other and our planet. Then they go and create legal and economic systems to support themselves in doing so.
Is God a sadistic lunatic for creating a world and beings that work this way?

BP spill – Excellent!
Posted by lightenup in Uncategorized on August 3, 2017
Throwback thoughts about the gulf oil spill. These still relate strongly to changing our world for the better, now.
Excuse me?
Could there really be an excellent side to this terrible Gulf oil disaster? Believe it or not, I think so. Let me share my view of this oily mess in the Gulf with you in a glass half full sort of way and see if you don't agree…at least a little.
At this time the whole world can not help but focus on how it's energy needs are supplied. The people of the world now have the greatest opportunity we could have ever imagined to make changes for the better. A pretty large statement, a pretty bold premise, I know. How can individuals make a difference in how the world operates when multinational corporations and governments seem to be the ones that have so much control over how things go? Well, remember the adage to "Be the change you wish to see in the world"?
Well, what…

Soft Targets
Another mass shooting and another huge attempt by the media to assist in implementing various agendas. Desperate times…yada yada.
The staged manipulation of the US public is becoming so obvious that the PTW (powers that were) are becoming the soft targets. They have no more effective firepower, no more hiding places, no more successful strategies. Their efforts are being analyzed and publicized without their control and the common man is starting to ask questions.
It is now only a matter of time before this shift of power is seen for what it truly is. A shift of power to the heart of this world.

Economic outlook remains cloudy
In the final days of March, market analysts saw some indications that the economic crisis might be nearing bottom and could perhaps rebound in the second half of this year.
Sam Fletcher
Senior Writer
In the final days of March, market analysts saw some indications that the economic crisis might be nearing bottom and could perhaps rebound in the second half of this year.
The Commerce Department reported that consumer spending increased by 0.2% in February. Analysts at Pritchard Capital Partners LLC, New Orleans, noted Mar. 20 that crude prices had gained more than $20/bbl, or 59%, from earlier lows of $33.98/bbl, while Department of Energy data for 2 of the previous 3 weeks showed increased US demand from 2008 levels. The average US retail price for conventional gasoline climbed to $2/gal for the first time since November.
Still, Adam Sieminski, chief energy economist, Deutsche Bank, Washington, DC, said, "The global economy is in worse shape than the consensus expects, but…the world can avert a 1930s style downturn. We expect the energy and industrial metals complex eventually will be the major beneficiaries of an improving economic outlook."
In its Mar. 30 weekly report, the Centre for Global Energy Studies (CGES) said Mideast Gulf liftings are at a 6-year low, averaging 16.4 million b/d in March, down more than 1.5 million b/d from last year's high. Most of that falloff has occurred since December, but the long lead-time between oil being lifted in the Middle East and arriving off the coasts of consumer countries means the full impact of production reductions has yet to be felt in North America and Europe.
However, CGES analysts see "little clear evidence" that producers have been turning customers away. Oil supplies still in floating storage "suggests producers have cut production in response to falling demand from refiners," they said. Although the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC remains committed to the lower production quotas agreed in December, CGES analysts said, "It is unlikely that Mideast Gulf liftings will fall much further, as the Gulf Arab states are already near full compliance, while Iran is unlikely to cut its output much further."
Inventories rising
Meanwhile, inventories of crude and petroleum products continued rising this year in the US, EU16, and Japan but remain below the levels of 2006-07. Increased domestic production has increased US crude stocks despite a drop in imports. "Crude oil stocks in Europe and Japan fell by 7 million bbl in January and February and are down by a further 10 million bbl in Japan, where the economy is shrinking at a rate not seen since the 1970s," CGES said. Imports will fall further as OPEC reductions progress down the supply chain.
"Refined product stocks have risen as demand has weakened, but this is easing as refiners cut runs in response to weak margins. If weak margins persist and throughput continues to be low, any upturn in demand could see refined product stocks begin to fall from current highs," CGES reported.
Global refining runs historically decline from January through April or May, as refiners in the US and Europe do seasonal maintenance in preparation for the summer months, when demand for gasoline is dominant. But this year, CGES said, January throughputs in major refining centers were down more than 2.5 million b/d (5%) from a year ago because of poor profit margins due to the sharp falloff in demand.
"Even a 700,000 b/d increase in February, primarily in Europe, leaves runs 1.7 million b/d (3%) down on the same month last year. It seems unlikely that this upward trend will continue, with major refiners in the US and Asia announcing extended maintenance closures and run cuts in the second quarter," said CGES analysts.
Meanwhile a sharp drop in middle distillate margins in major refining centers suggests that demand for diesel, a key indicator of economic activity, is shrinking globally. Gas oil stocks in Singapore are climbing due to increased exports from China, South Korea, and Japan. "Chinese state refiners will be allowed to export 680,000 tonnes of diesel tax-free in the second quarter to help reduce Chinese stocks," CGES reported. "Independent gas oil stocks in Rotterdam have risen to around 17 million bbl as supplies from Russia increase and European demand for heating fuels drops. US distillate stock levels fell in the week ending Mar. 20…but are still well above the 5-year average. Until economic activity picks up, or refinery throughputs fall even further, margins will remain weak."
Jacques H. Rousseau, an analyst at Soleil-Back Bay Research, reduced his estimates of 2009 earnings at six refining companies primarily due to the sharp decline in refining margins in March and the potential for increased gasoline imports during this year's second quarter.

David Rovics: Disavowing Disavowal - In Defense of Gilad Atzmon
Introduction by GA: The support of David Rovics, whom I admire, is very significant to me. I will be sharing a platform with David this Saturday in Bristol's Art Against the War, yet until a week ago I wasn't aware at all of David's attitude towards my thoughts and writings. However, at the peak of the campaign against my book, David wrote to me. Like others he also was asked to join one of those ADLs (Atzmon Defamation Leagues). Seemingly he didn't.
I believe that David's support should be realised as a crucial call for us all to unite. The battle against Israel, Zionism and the Lobby must be an open discourse. Freedom of expression and thought are the most precious values at the heart of the battle for truth, justice and peace. Those who believe in One State from the river to the sea should adhere to principles of inclusiveness.
Disavowing Disavowal: In Defense of Gilad Atzmon
I've been on a concert tour in Europe, so far mostly in Great Britain, for the past month or so. There's nothing like being on tour to connect on a personal, face-to-face level with society, or at least the little subsets of society who come to my shows. Being a songwriter who writes songs about the Palestinian struggle, among other subjects, many of my shows around the world are organized by Palestine solidarity activists of one kind or another. Before the tour began I was getting occasional emails from people asking me whether I wanted to add my name to a group denunciation of jazz musician, blogger and author Gilad Atzmon. Denounce him for what, I asked. For being an anti-Semite, they replied. I'd then ask them to send me what he wrote that they found offensive, which they would then do (sometimes accompanied by an introductory essay explaining the distinction between anti-Zionsim and anti-Semitism). I'd then read every word, and each time, I'd fail to find the anti-Semitic bit. Then, ten days into my tour, the US Palestinian Community Network published a "Disavowal of the Racism and Antisemitism of Gilad Atzmon." Several of the signatories include Palestinian intellectuals and activists I know and admire.
Before and especially after their denunciation of Atzmon was published, several of my gigs in England and Scotland have included people handing out printed copies of the disavowal and telling me and other people in no uncertain terms that Atzmon is an anti-Semite, may be a Mossad agent, and may be (or is, depending on who you ask) a holocaust denier. ("Which holocaust" is not an appropriate question, so don't even think about asking. Just the question alone is enough to get you accused of being a denier in some quarters.)
Well, all the attention Atzmon was getting prompted me to fork up $9.99 for my first electronic book (and I'm very thankful that something got me to read a book again, as somehow or other it's been ages). I'm not a scholar, but I am an avid student of history and politics, and I thought Atzmon's book, The Wandering Who?, was a very thought-provoking read. There weren't any particularly new ideas in it, but it was a very well-organized, well-articulated, contemporary and at times, humorous 200-page analysis of Jewish identity.
From the outset, Atzmon makes it clear that his criticism of various aspects of Jewish tribal identity(s) for the past couple millenia is not aimed at the many people who happen to be born Jewish, but to what he identifies as "third category" Jews – Jews who identify primarily as Jewish, first and foremost. Growing up in the New York area with my eyes open and being of Jewish lineage myself, it is not hard to see that this third category exists, and in abundance, so it's also not hard to see why it's such an interesting subject to write a book about.
A cursory glance at history tells me that narrow tribal identity politics usually suck. Whether it's people defining themselves in terms of their nation, their region, their ethnicity, their football team, their religion, if people have convinced themselves that they're better than you, watch out. What Atzmon is doing here is deconstructing (to use a word he probably doesn't like) Jewish identity politics, specifically. He is not analyzing or denouncing tribalism in general, I assume because you gotta stop somewhere, but maybe he has other reasons, like just wanting to stick to the point, or perhaps a little bit of self-preservation.
Why, then, is Atzmon's intellectual exercise here getting both the Anti-Defamation League and even various good activists so riled up? Well, for different reasons, depending on who's feeling riled. In the case of people involved with Palestine solidarity in one form or another, I'd say it is not Atzmon's non-existent hatred of Jews that is the problem here. It is the fact that, in his position as an accomplished jazz musician and writer, he keeps talking about his views and upsetting people who identify with other narratives of Jewish religion, history and identity than Atzmon's. Some of these people he's pissing off include Jews and others who are involved with the movement to boycott Israeli products, etc. Because he's pissing them off, it doesn't really matter whether he's right, he should just shut up and stop rocking the boat, because he's distracting people from the very worthy cause of Palestinian self-determination.
Now there's where I can sympathize with Atzmon's detractors. There is, I'm sure, great strategic value in as united a front as possible. I'm not an organizer – just a musical cheerleader – so I don't know much first-hand about building a solid movement and that sort of thing, and I'm sure it's extremely difficult. I'm also sure it's extremely necessary. But as someone who has been studying history and politics for many decades, I have to say that Atzmon is only saying the things that so many people already know, and I, for one, am not going to pretend otherwise because shunning someone for stating the self-evident is more convenient for the movement in the short-term. If he is to be shunned for being unnecessarily divisive, or for having too dark a sense of humor, or for being overly confrontational or critical, fine, shun away. But if he is to be shunned because he is an anti-Semite, no, that's just nonsense.
I'm not going to lay out Atzmon's whole thing here. If you're curious, read the book – at least read the first two chapters before you decide to join in the shunning. But as a big fan of world history and the similarities and differences between the development of different societies over the millenia, as I was reading his book I kept thinking of other examples of tribal identity politics through the ages. One of the things I love about the US, despite a perennially despicable government committing one holocaust after another – the African holocaust, the Native American holocaust, the Korea holocaust, the Vietnam holocaust, not to mention the German and Japanese holocausts committed by the USAF – and despite all the efforts of racist pricks in power who do their best to maintain all sorts of divisions within American society – in the end, the US is full of hopelessly assimilated mutts like myself. It is, in fact, to no small extent, a melting pot, and although the bigotry that often is one of the factors that leads to assimilation must certainly be condemned, the fact that the country is full of people who, like me, can trace their ancestry to at least a dozen countries, tribes and historic religious affiliations, is a beautiful thing. It leaves many of us, especially those of us living comfortable lives, who are broadly accepted as part of a given society, perplexed by tribalism. For us assimilated types it doesn't come naturally, and if it is to exist it must be very purposefully ingrained. (Which is why the ADL hates Atzmon – he's interfering with the ingraining process with his book.)
I kept wondering, as I was reading Atzmon's book, what would reactions of the general public be like to a similarly critical deconstruction of Catholic religion and tribal identity? I suspect such a book would be taken very differently depending on the locale -- depending on whether you live in a place where Catholics are disproportionately living in poverty or faced with discrimination, or have been in such a position in living memory, such as Northern Ireland, as opposed to places like the US or the other 26 counties of Ireland. For example, I have never met anyone living in Belfast who would refer to themselves as a "recovering Catholic." Despite the efforts of the historically oppressed Catholic community in the northern six counties to distance themselves from the Catholic tribal identity and embrace a more inclusive, Republican identity (Protestants welcome!), the effect of centuries of anti-Catholic discrimination and oppression has left people with a much stronger attachment to their Catholic identity than most Catholics would tend to have in the Republic of Ireland or in the United States, where you will often meet people who, when asked if they grew up in a religious family or some other such question, will define themselves as a "recovering Catholic."
Most people immediately understand what is meant by "recovering Catholic." The emphasis may vary depending on the person and what their experiences were like, but most likely anyone "recovering" from being a Catholic is trying to recover from growing up in an atmosphere where they were led to believe that sex is bad, everyone else who doesn't believe the way we do is going to hell and should therefore be converted to my religion, abortion is a sin, homosexuality is a sin, etc. Yet if someone were to describe themselves as a "recovering Jew," in many cases the room would become uncomfortably quiet, I imagine, as people gradually walk away from the offending party, lest they be accused of anti-Semitism by standing too close. Except in Brooklyn or Tel Aviv, where being Jewish is quite normal and unexotic, and where most people would understand immediately (whether or not they like it) that this person is recovering from growing up in an environment where everyone who wasn't Jewish was a goy and was not to be trusted and was a closet anti-Semite, where you shouldn't marry a goy, where you're always either too Jewish or not Jewish enough, where you're a failure for not being a doctor or a lawyer, where you're part of a Chosen group of people and you're better than others, but don't say that in public or they'll say you poisoned the wells, etc.
Sticking with the Catholic example here, though, reading the "debate" (if you can call attack and counter-attack a debate) between Atzmon's detractors and supporters (some of whom appear to be lunatics), I was thinking about what a friend in West Belfast was telling me about some things that happened back in the day, during the Troubles. The IRA was, like so many movements, full of inevitable contradictions. So much of the Republican movement had a distinctly socialist orientation, and elements of the Republican movement were very critical of the Catholic church presently and historically, including even critical of the church's stance on abortion and many other still-sensitive issues among many people of Catholic origin there and around the world. But much of the IRA's funding came from Irish-American supporters in the US, who were often otherwise fairly conservative politically and socially as well. So the IRA's socialist message and anyone associated with the Republican movement who was speaking out in support of legalizing abortion was seen as an obstacle to the Republican movement, even if many people quietly agreed with the dissenters.
Many people have made relevant comparisons between the global movement in support of Palestinian self-determination and the global movement in support of Irish Republicanism. There are many more relevant comparisons to be made, and I'd venture to say that this is another of them. In both cases, with the various dissenters within the anti-Zionist movement and the Irish Republican movement, I really do sympathize with both the dissenters and the "united front." I understand that strategic unity is vital for any successful movement. But I also understand that honest debate, freedom of expression, and critical analysis of everything – very much including Jewish identity politics – is also vitally important. I hope that a unity of purpose can be maintained even with such substantive differences in our various understandings of reality and history. Moreover, I hope that Atzmon's honest efforts to disentangle the whole question of Jewishness will lead other people from other tribal backgrounds to do more of the same. And I hope that more people will read his book before they feel the need to call him an anti-Semite.

Clooney's fiancee Amal to serve on Gaza rights probe
GENEVA — The U.N.'s three-member commission on possible violations of the rules of war in Gaza will include the increasingly high-profile British-Lebanese lawyer Amal Alamuddin, who is engaged to George Clooney, and a Canadian legal expert whose appointment is already drawing fire.
The president of the 47-nation U.N. Human Rights Council announced the appointments Monday. Alamuddin is a London-based international law specialist and former legal adviser to the prosecutor of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
Canada's William Schabas, an international law professor at Middlesex University, will chair the commission. Also tapped was Doudou Diene of Senegal, a lawyer who has filled U.N. posts on racism and human rights in Ivory Coast.
Gabon Ambassador Baudelaire Ndong Ella, who presides over the U.N.'s top human rights body in Geneva, said the commission would investigate all violations of international humanitarian and human rights law according to the council's July 23 resolution and report back in March 2015.
The Geneva-based advocacy group UN Watch called on Schabas to recuse himself from the commission because of prior statements critical of Israeli leaders. The group's executive director, Hillel Neuer, also questioned whether the U.N. is "trying to inject some Hollywood publicity into the process" by appointing Alamuddin.

interiors-mags_defconOk, I admit it, I do have a tiny bit of a problem. I love the odd glossy interiors mag. Well perhaps it's more than the odd one – and perhaps it's even more than love – but my husband accusing me last week of having an outright addiction to them was, I felt, a tad cruel.
Looking at my magazine collection today, some decades old, I realise he might be onto something.
When I worked as an interior designer, I could easily explain away my fetish of staring lovingly at gorgeous rooms; but what's my excuse now? I'm not renovating, my house is done and I don't actually really "need" for anything displayed within their delectable pages. I just like them… a lot.
I am not alone in having a love affair with the humble magazine and even in this age of declining print media, Australians buy 5.5 magazines every second. But what is it about interiors mags in particular that makes them so irresistible to me?
Good design can never be underestimated but as I flip through some of my favourite old editions of Inside Out or World of Interiors, I realise what it is that I am drawn to. It's inspiration rather than aspiration I find between their covers. It's the creative lives being alluded to more than the houses themselves. Whether it's the New York apartment or the outback station, it's the glimpse of another's personal world that is so enticing.
I am not interested in magazines illustrating show homes that are arrived at in one makeover session by a designer or the rather dry architectural tomes expounding reams of technical blurb. The more arty publications showing something of the genuine chaos and brilliance of life is what I am after.
Again and again, I tend to be drawn to the images of work in progress, of creative solutions arrived at with little or no resource. I realise that like most things, creating a home is about the journey, not the arrival.
Artists' homes are a particular favourite, always filled with works in progress, drawings and strange objets d'art all jostling for position. You can see what has inspired the artist from their collections and it is often the incongruous groupings of objects that allows for a deeper understanding of the owner's character.
Of course, being a Salvage Sister, I love to see the clever ideas people have come up with for recycling stuff. Be it the street find, revamped, proudly displayed and boasted about, or creative uses for commonly discarded items: it is often the inexpensive idea rather than the expensive overhaul that holds the greatest charm.
Viewing a cook's kitchen with the clutter of their favourite pots and pans and even the cook at work is so much more of a treat for me than viewing a designer kitchen built for show and that will never be called on to produce more than a slice of toast. I believe it is partly this wish to see life lived that is why the TV cooking show genre has been so phenomenally successful.
Magazines such as Frankie and Apartamento are relative newcomers to the mag scene. Their content has a humbleness. They celebrate the small things like freshly baked bread, the joy of owning chickens or the pleasure that can be found in the op-shop find. They show a bit of mess and quirky individualism in the homes of the people they interview. They show their concern for the environment and hark back to a sort of 1960s good life ethos.
I realise my thinking is somewhere on the same page. I'm not going to change the world by reading these glossies but they do allow me to affirm my thoughts on living, on design and style. So, I'm not about to call off my love affair with the mag anytime soon. But, to keep the husband happy, I might see if I can get my fix online.

How time flies! I had forgotten about this forum until I was checking my bookmarks. PagePlus X5 was released nearly a year ago now, on 18th October 2010, so it might not be too long before the next version is out. The release cycle is about 15 to 18 months so look out for PagePlus X6 in time for Christmas.
PagePlus X5 did add support for OpenType features, and the implementation is excellent. A text-editing context toolbar gives quick access to commonly used features. If you have Vista then you have some nice OpenType fonts and Windows 7 adds a few more. You can find some nice free OpenType fonts on my web site.
Besides OpenType Feature support, PagePlus X5 add supports for Cross-references, Variables, Word Count, Mixed Page Numbers in the same publication, Mixed Page Orientation, Powerful Page imposition via the Print Preview dialogue, Autocorrect Improvements, Multi-level Image Loading to speed up handling of large images, Gradient fills for Line, Improved PDF Output, Object Management in the layers tab, Editing of Masterpage Objects and promotion of them to the page, Import User Settings from previous version, and Improved Colour Management.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has been hospitalized after injuring his head, neck and shoulder in a fall from a concert stage in South Dakota, a spokesman for the venue said on Thursday.
Tyler, 61, accidentally stepped off a runway near the main stage while the rock band was performing Wednesday night at Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis, South Dakota, concert spokesman Michael Sanborn said.
Tyler, who is known for his wild dancing and for draping his microphone stand with a colorful scarf while on stage, was airlifted to Rapid City Regional Hospital, Sanborn said. His condition was not known.
A spokeswoman for the South Dakota hospital said she could not confirm if the singer was being treated there, and an Aerosmith representative was not immediately available to comment on Tyler's injury.
A doctor who attended to Tyler after his fall said the singer's vital signs were stable, Sanborn said.
Aerosmith rose to fame in the 1970s with hit albums such as "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks." They then faded from the limelight but enjoyed a resurgence in 1986 when rap group Run DMC covered "Walk This Way," one of the band's hit songs.
Tyler is the father of actress Liv Tyler.

There's POLYMER SLIME in that summer camp!
Campers at the Austin Children's Museum will be learning about molecules and mixing up a batch of polymer slime this summer, as well as extracting strawberry DNA, and doing the liquid crystals activity from the NanoDays kit in the museum's Girls Explore Science Camp.
If you're interested in doing the polymer/glue slime activity, the recipe is up on the Austin Children's Museum blog. In addition, Alex Fiorentino at the Museum of Science, Boston put together some information for me about nano and polymers. Here's Alex's explanation:
"Polymers are large molecules that are made up of lots of smaller units connected in a long strand. We can think of them as long chains made of many small links, except the links in polymers are actually tiny molecules. Polymers can be made of one unit that repeats over and over (a homopolymer) or many different units connected to each other (a copolymer).
"Some polymers occur naturally - DNA and proteins are actually long chains of small molecules, and natural rubber is a polymer too.
"Other polymers are "synthetic," meaning they are made by people. You might not know it, but synthetic polymers are all around you! We often call these synthetic polymers "plastics." The plastic in your water bottle, the nylon and polyester in your clothing, and the styrofoam you use to pack things are all examples of synthetic polymers.
"Many cutting-edge synthetic polymers are made using nanotechnology - the manipulation of matter at the tiny nanoscale. By controlling the structure of polymers at the nanoscale, engineers can develop new polymer-based materials with unique properties that make them specially suited to applications in medicine, electronics, automobile design, and a broad range of other fields."
Alex also found a kid-focused education website about polymers from the University of Mississippi and a few academic resources on nanotech and polymers (here, here, and here).

Even though some LED (or light-emitting diode) light bulbs boast lifespans that last decades while consuming minimal energy compared to old school incandescent bulbs, their price — often hovering around the $40 mark — has remained a sticking point with many consumers. Sure, the savings in the long run are remarkable, but who really wants to spend more than $20 on a single light bulb?
Well, meet the latest creation from the geniuses over at Lighting Science Group: an omnidirectional, 60-watt equivalent A19 LED bulb with a sticker price of $15 or less. That's right, folks — a $15 LED.
Developed in cooperation with Indian electronics manufacturing giant Dixon Technologies, this low-priced, high-performance bulb with a lifespan of around eight years will initially be released in India later this year before making its way stateside and elsewhere in early 2012. The revolutionary bulb is designed to consume 85 percent less energy than standard 60-watt incandescents and 35 percent less energy than CLFs.
Says Atul Lall, deputy managing director of Dixon Technologies, in an official news release:
With 800,000,000 incandescent light bulbs and 300,000,000 CFLs sold in India each year, the market is ripe for these highly efficient, long lasting and nontoxic products. The economic and environmental implications of this partnership are significant: old-style light bulbs use 60 billion units of electricity each year, 7% of India's total, and our Lighting Science Group Definity® lamps could save over 70% of that, equivalent to 32 coal fired plants with 500MW capacity.
The tag-team effort between Florida-based Lighting Science Group, the same company that teamed up with Google for the Android-controlled LED and is helping to sponsor the U.S. Solar Decathlon, and Dixon will help transform India, a country that relies heavily on coal-fired power plants and plans to build 80 new ones in the next five years, into "an early, large-scale adopter of LED technology" according to Jim Haworth, CEO of Lighting Science Group. Haworth also believes that the 60-watt equivalent bulbs and other LED lighting solutions (street lights, outdoor and industrial fixtures, etc.) produced by his company and Dixon are poised to become "some of the best selling lighting products in the world."

Christopher B. Cerf (born August 19, 1941) brought a mid-century pop music sound to the music of Sesame Street, writing songs for Little Jerry and the Monotones (for which he performed one of the back-up singers), Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats (for which he also performed the lead singer), and other short-lived pop-star parodies. Among his best known works are "Put Down the Duckie" and "Monster in the Mirror," two collaborations with former Sesame Street head writer Norman Stiles. Both songs have been filmed in versions that feature large numbers of celebrities. He appears in the television documentary Sing! Sesame Street Remembers Joe Raposo and His Music in tribute to his friend and collaborator.
His father, Bennett Cerf, was the co-founder of Random House books and a panelist of What's My Line? and his mother, Phyllis Fraser, co-founded Random House's Beginner Books with Dr. Seuss. His brother, Jonathan Cerf, wrote Big Bird's Red Book.
Some characters that Cerf has provided voices for include Little Chrissy, Chrissy, Bruce Stringbean, Mick Swagger, How Now Brown, the Lead Frazzletone, the singer of the Cecille theme song, and the Captain from "Imagine That!"
Sesame Place's The Game Centre was "the creative brain-child of Cerf.[1]
Christopher Cerf is also the co-creator and an Executive Producer of Between the Lions. He was a close personal friend of the late Douglas Adams, acclaimed author of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. He wrote the introduction for the US edition of The Salmon of Doubt, a posthumous release of some of Adams' last works.
