Foseti provides one for "austerity":
I've complained a few times that opponents of austerity refuse to define what they're opposed to.
Naively, I'd assumed that austerity meant that governments were cutting spending. Actually, it turns out governments continue to spend more money during period of austerity and even periods of "crippling austerity."
I've done some investigation and I now believe I can define "austerity." Here goes:
Austerity is when more than half of a country's working age population has to . . . wait for it . . . seriously, I hope you're sitting down for this . . . go to work at an actual job every day.*
One way to tell that Krugman et al are big-government socialist shills is simply by noting that they use the word "austerity" in a rather vague manner to refer to countries that are apparently not Keynesian enough in their approach to dealing with the current economic crisis. Basically, Krugman's version of austerity is not spending cuts or tax increases, but rather deficit spending that doesn't incur a large enough deficit. I don't see how this is austerity as much as a milder form of irresponsibility, but then I've never won any prizes in economics, let alone one in honor of Alfred Nobel. So what do I know about austerity?

LIHUE » A Gas Co. driver involved in an accident that killed a mother, father and son has sued the trustee of the mother's estate in Kauai Circuit Court.
Eddie Taniguchi III, still a Gas Co. employee, no longer drives for the company, said Taniguchi's lawyer, Teresa Tico. He suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, mental anguish and other emotional and physical problems.
"Everyone is entitled to justice," Tico said yesterday. "It's a very sad case."
Taniguchi was driving his truck near Waimea last August when a Chevrolet Impala rental car driven by Lan Kim Yim, 44, attempted to make a U-turn in front of him and was broadsided.
Yim, her husband, Yong T. "Michael" Yim, and 7-year-old Brandon died in the accident. Another son, then age 5, survived and is being raised by family in California.
Taniguchi was cleared of any wrongdoing, Tico said.
"It's not anything against the defendant," said Tico. "It's against the insurance company."
The family has sued the Gas Co., Tico added.

A spokeswoman said a "watching brief" is in place on the situation but payments into Cypriot bank accounts will not resume when banks on the island reopen - currently planned for Thursday.
In a statement to MPs, pensions minister Steve Webb said the Government is advising people to either switch their payments to a British account they already have or to open a new one.
About 6,000 of the 18,133 British expats on Cyprus use a British bank account already and so are not affected by the freeze.
Mr Webb said: "We are advising customers to change the bank account into which payments are made, for example by nominating an alternative bank account or the account of a 'trusted friend' which is permissible under our current rules on benefit payment.
"This is a practical measure to ensure that payments reach our customers promptly, and we are not advising these customers to close their Cypriot bank accounts. Customers who do not currently have another bank account may wish to open one. HM Treasury have also worked with Barclays to put in place a process so that individuals can open a bank account quickly if they wish to do so."
The freeze on benefit payments into Cypriot bank accounts was announced by Treasury minister Greg Clark last week amid reports that the government in Cyprus was planning a levy on all accounts to fund a bailout.
The plan was rejected by the Cypriot parliament but banks have been closed since in a bid to avoid a run on the island's banks.
Mr Clark said the goal was to ensure that payments reached their intended recipients.
Mr Webb said the Government will continue to monitor the situation closely and aims to minimise disruption for those affected.

At our Torat Yisrael annual congregational meeting last evening, I had the privilege of installing the officers and board members who will lead our congregation through the 2013-14 / 5774 year. This is one of the rabbinic tasks that gives me the greatest pleasure year after year.
Our congregation is led by an extraordinary group of committed lay leaders. I've said this for as long as I've been at Torat Yisrael, but now their accomplishments truly speak for themselves as we held an annual congregational meeting for the first time in our beautiful new synagogue building.
The booklet that is distributed at each year's annual meeting includes a list of the officers and the board members and the terms for which they are nominated to serve. About a third of our board has one year left in their term, another third has two years left, and the newest "class", of course, has three years left in their term. We designate new board members with an asterisk.
As I looked over the new list, I could not help but noticing that almost half of the group of board members who are beginning their three-year term are new to our board. That may not strike many of you as anything more than "expected." For our congregation, this is actually a very significant development. Our board includes many people who have served multiple terms: this creates an experienced leadership who bring a rich collective communal memory to the table as we plan for the future. Now, we are succeeding in reaching out and bringing new leaders to our board table. This will energize our discussion, broaden our horizons and help us develop the strong and experienced leadership that will be key to guiding our congregation in the future.
Happily, this week's Torah reading emphasizes the importance of just this dynamic of growing leadership for the future. Moses, elsewhere described as ענו מאוד [very humble / anav m'od] turns to God with concern for the welfare of the people after Moses himself will no longer lead. Moses says: "Let the Lord, Source of the breath of all flesh, appoint someone over the community who shall go out before them and come in before them, and who shall take them out and bring them in, so that the Lord's community may not be like sheep that have no shepherd." (Numbers/Bamidbar 27:15).
Exhibiting perceptive understanding of the vulnerabilities at times of transition of leadership, God not only indicates to Moses that the "heir" who will next lead the people will be Joshua, son of Nun, but further instructs Moses to bring Joshua before the people now, before the crisis in leadership arises, and make it clear to the people that Joshua is both God's and Moses' choice to serve next as leader of the people.
We witness, at the end of Deuteronomy and the beginning of the book of Joshua, that this very contentious and irritable people, the Israelites, experience the transition from Moses to Joshua seamlessly. They mourn Moses, of course, but they are supported and led through challenging times by Joshua with complete confidence in the young leader's capabilities. Joshua was designated early on. Joshua was "trained by the best." Joshua was known and respected and had earned their trust before ever he was called upon to lead the people on his own.
Of course, our situation here at Torat Yisrael is not analogous to the transitions in leadership from Moses to Joshua. But as we laud our current leadership and look to the faces of our newest leaders, we can learn much from this week's Torah Reading about leadership development and planning transitions for the future.
Let there be no doubt that the Torah is eternally a relevant and profound guide to the lives we lead today: That we are reading the Torah portion Balak during the week that I testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of legislation that will establish a new fund to establish programming to prevent domestic violence in Rhode Island.
What is the connection to the Torah portion? Bilam, the prophet who is retained by the Moabite king Balak to curse Israel, overlooks the Israelite encampment and, as instructed by God, intones: מה טוב אהליך יעקב, משכנתיך ישראל / mah tovu ohalecha yaakov, mishk'notecha yisrael / how good are your tents [people of] Jacob, your dwellings, Israel...
How good are the dwellings of Israel? Domestic violence, which includes physical, emotional and verbal abuse is the hidden shame of the dwellings of Israel . . . in urban and suburban, wealthy and modest Jewish homes, here in Rhode Island, across the United States and the world.
The proposed legislation in support of which I testified reads as follows:
It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 15-2 of the General Laws entitled "Marriage Licenses" is hereby
amended by adding thereto the following section:
15-2-9.2. Additional fee for domestic violence prevention. -- For each license the town or city clerk shall charge and receive an additional fee of forty-six dollars ($46.00), of which he or she shall retain two dollars ($2.00) and shall transmit forty-four dollars ($44.00) to the general treasurer to be provided to the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence to fund domestic violence prevention programs.
How good can our dwellings be if spouses and partners are afraid to turn the key and walk into our own homes? Will we be greeted with a hug or hostility? Is a smack across the cheek or a kiss on the cheek waiting for us? Our Jewish tradition establishes "Shalom bayit" / "Peace in the home" as a fundamental building block of the family and the community. We may struggle for shalom bayit, but we may not always be able to attain that domestic tranquility without help, counseling, intervention and, in the most drastic cases where there is no hope of shalom bayit, we need safe shelter.
It may seem ironic that at the most optimistic moment in a couple's journey, as they are applying for a marriage license, that they will be handing over a fee that includes funding for programming designed to prevent domestic violence in our state. I think it's a great cautionary moment. I think it is a very fine thing to point out to loving couples that it is those who are closest to us who can hurt us the most and that if abuse and pain should find its way into your home, you will find help and support nearby.
May the dwelling places of Israel . . . and the dwelling places of Rhode Island . . . be truly good. May every dwelling be a place of "shalom bayit" and let us do all that we can to make this possible.
Please contact your state senator and let her or him know that you want this legislation to pass.
Over twelve years after our American complacency was shattered by the terrorist attacks of 9/11, we are still finding our way through a forest of security and privacy issues. As we take in the revelations about the Obama administration's collection of data on phone calls made, these issues are raised afresh. President Obama and our national security leadership have denied absolutely that calls were listened to without appropriate judiciary warrants. We are listening, too, and are probably inclined to believe or doubt those denials based on our own political leanings and proclivities . . . for none of us in the general public really have any way of knowing how this data has been processed.
What sort of guidance does Judaism provide in this existential conflict of interest between protecting innocent populations and protecting the privacy and anonymity of citizens of a democracy?
Jonathan Stein, a PhD in Near Eastern Studies, and an attorney, writes in an article on Judaism and Privacy (www.myjewishlearing.com): "However, there is evidence from [classic Jewish] sources that privacy is not in fact a value in and of itself, but an instrument for achieving social harmony and religious welfare. Thus, the general duty of confidentiality gives way when it clashes with issues of communal import. Court witnesses may not claim a confidentiality privilege to avoid testifying. Concerns of justice override any privacy interest. This is in contrast to American law, where doctors, lawyers, ministers, and spouses can often avoid testifying about information they received in confidence."
In the United States, we have become socialized to assume a constitutional "right to privacy" of which we are more protective than a mother bear with her cubs. Whether there actually exists such a constitutional right is a matter of debate, in fact. In Judaism, however, there is no debate. An individual's "personal space" must give way when matters concerning the well-being of innocents in the community are in question.
In an article published in 2002 (Living Words IV: A Spiritual Source Book for an Age of Terror), Alan Dershowitz recounts the changes of heart he underwent after 9/11 regarding the issue of "roving warrants" (which attach to an individual instead of a particular phone or phone number) and national identity cards. He wrote: "Terrorists should never make us give up our liberties or change our values. But experiences of all kinds--whether they are natural disasters or the horrors wrought by criminals--inevitably provoke thoughtful people into rethinking attitudes and values. This process is a healthy one. It is part of what Socrates called "the examined life."
In Israel, the country that is in constant arbitration between protecting the privacy of individuals in a democracy established with protections for free speech and human rights and protecting a population under almost constant threat of military and/or terrorist attack, the public debate sounds similar to ours, but the background premises are rather different. In Israel, it is the most routine of procedures to have one's bag opened and examined, go through metal detectors, etc., when entering a movie theater or a shopping mall or a coffee shop. To object on the grounds of invasion of privacy would be absurd in a setting where such a lapse might provide the opening for a pizza parlor to be blown to bits.
In Israel, we see, on the ground, the principle Dr. Stein described in theory: in Judaism, privacy is not a value in an of itself . . . it is a luxury we enjoy when circumstances permit.
Many of us enjoy many luxuries here in the United States. Whether we must eschew this particular one in order to maintain public safety or not is a matter of public, crucial public, debate. But our tradition encourages us to keep an open mind and look at the issue not only as citizens of a democracy, but as Jews informed by our tradition as well.
On my first day at Torat Yisrael, in the summer of 2004, I sat myself down at the desk in the rabbi's study and started opening drawers to see what "treasures" my predecessors had left for me.
I opened a file and found a memo, written in 1985, by my
predecessor, Rabbi David Rosen, making the case that the congregation's most
promising future could be fulfilled through a move to East Greenwich.
Here and now, with the leadership spearheading our congregation now, with all the complicated realities of economics and demographics and the very human aversion to risk. Here and now, when congregations around the country are closing their doors, it is now that we are dedicating our new synagogue building in the very promising land of East Greenwich.
Over and over I have had occasion to marvel at the commitment, the perseverance, the determination, the generosity, the selflessness of the
members of our congregation. Over and over, I have witnessed delays, resistance, barriers, and I've thought, "please God, let them not lose heart." And over and over the leaders of this project rolled up their sleeves, regrouped, got creative and got it done.
It is our privilege to dedicate this beautiful building לשם ולטפארת / l'sheim
ultiferet, for the Name and the wonder of God. Within these walls, generations of our people will come together to delve into the infinite richness of our Torah, to embrace each other as a community of Israel, to find guidance and inspiration from our traditions and practices, to ponder and to attempt and to explore new avenues of Jewish life.
During the mindful process of designing this building, it has been our goal to embody or to facilitate some of our most cherished, eternal Jewish values:
בל תשחית / Bal Taschit: Our commitment to the mitzvah of avoiding unnecessary waste of resources is expressed in our investment in a unique LED and fluorescent lighting system that barely sips electricity.
מכשול בפני עיוור /You will not throw up a stumbling block before the blind: Through this mitzvah we are instructed
to anticipate and facilitate safe and accessible movement for all. In this spirit, one of our first decisions regarding the new building was to build all on one level, making every space in the building accessible to every person coming in. In that same spirit, one section of the coat rack in the cloakroom will be at a height comfortable to both the wheel chair bound and children to hang up and retrieve their own coats.
הזן את הכל / Who Feeds All. In the blessings recited after a meal, we praise God as "hazan et hakol," the One who feeds all. Our tradition encourages us to internalize the values embodied by God's own actions. In that spirit, our congregation supports two food-security programs: the Edgewood Food Closet in our former neighborhood in Cranston, and the Chester Kosher Food Pantry maintained by the Jewish Seniors Agency of Rhode
Island. We have literally built our commitment into our building: the benches lining our lobby under the windows are actually bins in which we collect non-perishable food items for these programs.
העם: האנשים והנשים והטף / The people: the men, the women and the children. Towards the end of the book of D'varim/Deuteronomy, God instructs Moses to gather together the people and readthem the words of the Torah. In
that text, the "people" , the body of Israel, is defined as "men, women and children." Our commitment to making sure that all men, women and children are welcome and comfortable in our sanctuary is expressed through the unique wall of windows separating our sanctuary from our library. Shades reaching from the bottom of the windows upwards will provide privacy for nursing moms while still seeing and hearing what is happening in the sanctuary. Bins of quiet toys will keep little ones occupied while their supervising parents can still be part of the service. A parent, or grandparent!, who needs to "walk" a baby or comfort an unhappy toddler can do so without being cut off from the community.
מה גדלו מעשיך / How great are Your works? The Psalmist exclaims "mah gadlu ma'asecha?" How great are Your
works, O God? With the gift of conservancy land along the eastern border of our property, constructed an
eastern wall that is almost entirely of glass. As we sit in our sanctuary, our social hall and our library, we are free to simultaneously enjoy and praise God's natural world.
We are celebrating a tremendous milestone in the history of our congregation. Let us remember that a milestone marks a significant stop along a path, not the end of the route. Yes, indeed, our geographic wandering is over, but there are many more paths for us to follow as a congregation. This is a building that we are turning into sacred space by our presence as a kehillah k'doshah, a holy congregation. How will we express our sense of the sacred here? How will we pray? How will we learn? How will we celebrate? What kind of communal goals and aspirations will we strive for?
TY members have contributed so much time and concern and skill as members of our Building and
Dedication Committees. Thank them when you see them. A project like this only comes to fruition when a few people throw themselves, body and soul, into the project. Our president, Susan Smoller and the chairman of our building committee, Andrew Sholes, and the chairman of our capital campaign, Marc Davis are those "body and
soul" leaders who have inspired us and brought us to this day.
Our Building Committee and our contractors and our architects and our painters and electricians and plumbers are done. Now it is our turn to fill this beautiful space with the joy, the challenges, the richness, the comforts, the spiritual horizons of the Judaism we love.
Rabbi Amy Levin
has been Torat Yisrael's rabbi since the summer of 2004 and serves as President of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island.

A question from a class 8 student in Mumbai recently left RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan very impressed. Rajas, a student of a Dombivali East school, had asked Rajan when Indian policy would be important enough to affect other countries.
"The mere rumour of the US cutting down on the federal stimulus saw the rupee crashing in value," said Rajas. "When will we see an Indian policy affecting other countries so intensively?"
The 52-year-old economist said that India shouldn't aspire to affect other countries adversely through its changes in policy.
"I have been saying that the US should worry about the effects of its policy on the rest of the world," he said. "So if we stood by that, we should not be very happy down the line when Indian policies affect the rest of the world adversely."
Rajan said that India would become "a significant force in the world economy" over the next decade, and its trade policies would influence other countries.
"I suspect that by the time you're my age, we will be one of the two or three great economies in the world," he told the student. "And you as Central Bank governor will have to decide the kinds of policies that are appropriate for the world, and not just for India at that time."

After the many new car launches and facelifts during the festive season, the automobile industry is gearing up for year-end and early-2016 launches. There are many models in every segment while the small car segment seems to have more members waiting to enter. We have compiled a list of the top five small cars launching soon in India.
Tata Kite
Codenamed Kite, the replacement of Tata's ageing Indica underpins the X0 platform and is expected to get a fresh styling, unlike any other current Tata passenger cars. From the video starring Tata's new global brand ambassador, Lionel Messi, it appears the hatchback will get a signature front grille with smoked headlamps and a fresh rear-end styling.
Tata Kite is likely to include a new 1.05-litre three-cylinder common-rail diesel motor that can churn out 64.1bhp and 140Nm of torque, and an all-new 1.2-litre petrol engine. The Kite is speculated to get an e-clutch system similar to AMT that allows drivers to use manual transmission for the first gear without using the clutch. The global unveil is scheduled in the first week of December 2015.
Maruti Suzuki Ignis
Maruti Suzuki Ignis, the model based on the Suzuki iM-4 concept that was first seen at the Geneva Motor Show in March earlier this year, is expected to get Suzuki's new 1.0-litre three-cylinder BoosterJet petrol motor. The sub-four-metre Ignis compact SUV will come with the four-wheel drive system. Rumours are also doing the rounds that a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine with the SHVS mild-hybrid system mated to a CVT gearbox could also features in the compact SUV. The India unveil is expected during the 2016 Auto Expo, and estimated prices revolve around the Rs 4.5-lakh mark.
Maruti Suzuki Alto Diesel
Maruti Suzuki tasted immense success by employing a small diesel engine in its Celerio hatchback. The same engine is likely to debut with its workhorse, the Alto hatchback, as well. The 793cc two-cylinder diesel unit develops 47bhp power at 3,500rpm and 125Nm of peak torque at 2,000rpm in the Celerio. The engine will be carried over without tweaks. The fuel efficiency is expected to be higher than the Celerio's 27.62kmpl in Alto. The launch is expected by the end of 2015.
Datsun Redi-Go
Datsun Redi-Go, the third offering of Nissan's low-cost brand after Datusn Go and Go +, will go on sale in the country by March 2016. Redi-Go, which is based on the CMF-A (Common Modular Family) platform, will be powered by a three-cylinder petrol engine with five-speed manual transmission and with reports of an automated manual transmission (AMT) variant as well. French car-maker Renault's recently-unveiled Kwid is also built on the same platform.
The new Datsun small car is likely to be priced under Rs 3 lakh in the country and will be competing against the likes of Maruti Alto and Hyundai Eon. The model is expected to debut at the Auto Expo 2016 in February.
Volkswagen Beetle
In terms of price, the Beetle cannot be considered a "small car". However, being a compact car, Volkswagen's bug car is part of this list. German auto-maker Volkswagen has officially confirmed the arrival of its new Beetle in India. To be pitted against MINI Cooper S, Mercedes A-Class Fiat Abarth Punto and the BMW 1-Series, the new Volkswagen Beetle will be brought to India as Completely Built Unit (CBU).
Beetle is expected to be powered by the 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine that also does duty in the Jetta sedan. The engine is expected to churn out a maximum power of 158bhp and peak torque of 250Nm. The car is likely to be priced at around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom).

Answers please to: Damian Green, Department for Work and Pensions, Caxton House, London.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has refused to consider an inquiry into its repeated failure to prevent the deaths of benefit claimants, despite the release of damning new information from nine secret reviews.
Key information from reviews into the deaths of nine benefit claimants had been requested by Disability News Service (DNS) in April – following the release of 49 earlier reviews– but DWP has only released it now after pressure from the Information Commissioner's Office.
Although most of the information from the reviews – previously known as peer reviews but now called internal process reviews – was redacted, DWP did release the authors' recommendations for how procedures should be improved locally and nationally.
Those recommendations show that DWP staff repeatedly failed to follow strict guidelines on how to support benefit claimants who have expressed thoughts of self-harm or threatened to take their own lives, which were introduced in 2009.
That guidance – known as the six-point plan – "sets out the framework for managing suicide and self harm declarations from customers".

Antique Pagoda Lanterns
Antique Pagoda Lanterns are original lanterns in the oriental tiered 'pagoda' style.
Brief history and description
Pagoda lanterns feature a design which is inspired by a "pagoda," a tier-towered design that was commonly used for religious places of worship in Asia, India or Nepal (such as Taoist houses or Buddhist temples).
The origins of the pagoda architectural design dates back to as far back as the 3rd century BC, however, pagoda lanterns can be traced back to as early as the Edo period in Japan, and were originally placed outdoors or in Japanese gardens.
Pagoda lanterns can also be made from a variety of different materials, such as lava stone, concrete, fiberstone, resin, metal, brass or copper, and can also come in a variety of different styles as well (such as a large pagoda lantern/statue or a small hanging pagoda lantern).
Guide for collectors
Antique Oriental-style pagoda lanterns that were manufactured in China or Japan are considered to be both rare and valuable among collectors. Pagoda lanterns which date back to as far back as the Edo period (circa 1600s to 1800s) are considered to be the most rare and valuable.
Restoration of an antique pagoda lantern is recommended, but only if there is noticeable damage. However, restoring an antique pagoda lantern may decrease its value.
Kamelot Auctions in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sold a pair of bronze pagoda lanterns from the Edo-period in Japan for $30,000 in April of 2007.
A Cloissone pagoda-form garden lantern is worth as much as $1,800.
A Chinese brass pagoda lantern (circa 19th century) is worth around $700.
An Oriental garden lantern with a pagoda top and an illuminated jewelled and tiled base (circa early 20th century) is worth around $600.
Great American Auction in Poughkeepsie, New York sold an Oriental garden lantern with a pagoda top (circa early 20th century) for $1,000 in February of 2007.
Butterscotch Auction Gallery in Pound Ridge, New York sold:
- An antique carved pagoda stone garden lantern with a candle holder for $800 in July of 2009.
- A Chinese carved-stone garden lantern with a separate pagoda roof for $2,000 in July of 2008.
Millea Bros Ltd in Madison, New York sold a pair of Chinoiserie green tole pagoda-form lanterns (circa 20th century) for $1,400 in May of 2009.
Sloans & Kenyon in Chevy Chase, Maryland sold a pair of Chinese grey stone pagoda-form lanterns (circa 1900) for $950 in June of 2005.
