During the variouj^se'ssions it\was most/evident that the rabbis as well as of the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati felt it necessary now, more than ever before, to iiltro- cluce more ceremonials, Hebrew reading and a more, thorough teaching oi' the Holidays. The grez^test thing we can do for our young boys and girls is to implant within them a true Jewish spirit and the manner in which it may be realized, and toward this end the rabbis, prbfessors^and' teachers exercised every effort. The principal speakers of the. conven¬ tion were: Kabbi Louis I. Egelson, Dr. Abraham Cronbach, Dr. Jacob H. Kap¬ lan and Dr. Henry Slonimsky, all of Cincinnati. So enlightening were their talks and so inspiring their message^ that everyone of the teachers left with something tangible, with new ideas to introduce into tbeir classes and with real spirit to impart to their pupils.

B.)-The Jew¬ ish Socjalifit movement, represented in the Jewisli Socialist Verband, at the closing session of its second annual con¬ vention at l^orward ,Hall, decided in favor of the establishment of an Ameri¬ can Labor party, of which the Socialist party would be an important and integral part. Addresses by Jean Longuet, Benjamin 'Schlesinger, and Abraham Cahan, editor of the Jewish dally "Forward", and^ P. 'Vladeck, manager of the "Forward", were the" outstanding features of the convention. Resolutions adopted called upon the executive of the Socialist party to work for an immediate reunion of the Vienna Working Union of Socialist parties and the Second International, called upon all members of the 'Verband to cooperate loyally witli the I.abor movement in all its struggles, protested against the pres¬ ent immigration law, and against the proposed new law for registration of immigrants, and recognized The Call and the Jewish monthly Zukwtftas the trusted organs of the Socialist move¬ ment and the Socialist party, in addition to the "Forward." A resolution calling for the recogni¬ tion of Soviet Russia that also carried with it a condemnation of the persecu¬ tion of political opponents in Russia, was adopted. One resolution that was carried after a warm debate was to the effect that, as all sections of the labor movement work toward the same end, it is desirable for them to unite their interests. Thus, in guarded words, the Socialist party put out a feeler towarc) the Poale Zionists, who have maintained a separate organi¬ zation and propaganda for years. There were 13 votes in the negative.

The audience included delegates from the principal communities of Connecti¬ cut, and listened also to addresses by a number of local leaders of the move¬ ment, including Abraham S.

Mr. Untermyer was particulatrly de¬ nunciatory of the Klan for injecting "inter-racial hatred, suspicion and con¬ flict" only four years after the conclu¬ sion of the war" which saw all the classes and creeds of America presenting a united patriotic front in behalf of their country. In this connection he quoted figures showing that the participation of the Jews in the armed forces of the United States during, the war was pro¬ portionately greater than their numbers in the total population of the country. One of the points of Mr. Untermyer'a address whicli was particularly applauded was his call upon the men and women of the very group the Ku Klux Klan aimai to organize under its black banner" to be "the^ first and the most vehement to repudiate and band together to exter¬ minate those would-be destroyers of American ideals and American life." Mr. Untermyer concluded with an ap¬ peal to the audience to give twice as much to the Palestine Foundation Fund this year as they had given the previous year in order "to re-establish our home¬ less people and at the same time put our enemies everywhere to shame and con¬ fusion,", Mr. Untermyer in the course of his address said: "The charge of unproductivity against the Jews of America is false, reckless and contemptible, and is prompted by racial and religious venom and bigotry.

Reports whicli were submitted told of plahs which are to make this the greatest Jewish gathering in American history, and stirring addresses by Daniel P. Mays, Hon. Henry Morgenthau, ¦ iRabbi . l^amuel Schulman and others' indicated that the convention will be made memor¬ able, too, by a spiritual revival among New York Jewry of the religious ideals which inspired Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, founder of the Union of American He¬ brew Congregations and Hebrew Union College 50 years ago. David M. Bressler, chairman of the New York convention committee, who presided, announced that President Warren G. Harding had accepted the Union's invitation to be guest of honor and chief speaker, at the. jubilee con¬ vention banquet, which is to take place- in the grand ballroom of Hotel Astor on Wednesday evening, January 24. This banquet will have 2,000 guests. Mark Eisner told of plains for a pub¬ lic meeting at Carnegie Hall on the opening evening of .the convention, at which Judge Irving Lehman of New York and Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver (fi Cleveland will be the principal speakers, and Meier Steinbrink announced that a similar meeting would be held at the Eighth Avenue Temple at Brooklyn.

Henry Morgenthau, ex-Ambassador to T^irkey, who is honorary chairman of the convention committee, told of the need for a revival of all religions througliout the world. r "We laymen," said Mr. Morgenthau, "have been careless in our devotion to Judaism,. but instead of being scolded for it, as Rabbi Schulman has just done, there should be greater co-operation between the rabbinate and the lay mem-^ bers of the temple.

The hitherto unpublished terms of the concession which the Jewish Telegraphic Agency is now able to give, was granted Novem¬ ber 8, 1921. It provides for the lease to the ICA of'the extendable marshes for a period of a hundred years at Atlit, Alzarka and Malcha, sai^ on the shores of the Mediterraneao near Caesarea, and adjacent grounds in the Haifa district. During the first thirty-three years, the I. C.

At the end of these 38 years, ¦ the rates are to be fixed in accordance with the requirements. In return the Government obtains 5% df the profits of the salt industry developed .there, the I. C. A. paying all duties as well as its contribution to the Ottoman public debt, including Ian4 taxes and customs. Under this concession the I. C.

Award-Winning Sustainable & Portable Hot Tub Design to be Presented and Demonstrated at Clarkson University
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/dutchtub.jpg ]
Three Clarkson University programs will introduce a new product to the Potsdam area next month and at the same time gain lessons in design, business and engineering.
The Digital Arts & Sciences Program, the School of Business, and the Interdisciplinary Engineering and Management Program will host an October 1 presentation and demonstration of the "Dutchtub," a portable, wood-fired hot tub, by Todd Smith of Dutchtub U.S. Headquarters in Saranac Lake, N.Y.
Smith's presentation is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 1, in the Petersen Board Room on the third floor of Clarkson's Bertrand H. Snell Hall (hill campus). Following his presentation, the audience is invited to the front lawn of the building, where a live product demonstration of a filled and heated Dutchtub will take place. The public is invited to attend.
Smith, who is also owner of äpi design and the 7444 Gallery in Saranac Lake, will speak about the challenges his company has faced while trying to "introduce a new bathing culture to the world." The Dutchtub, developed in 2002 by Floris Schoonderbeek in The Netherlands, is a natural wood-fired soak tub with a modern flair in simple and functional design.
Through a multimedia presentation and discussion, Smith will present the entire "concept to consumer" process involved with the Dutchtub, with special focus on the design, business, and engineering aspects of the product and company.
"Through the interdisciplinary relationship between product design, business practice, and engineering methods, the Dutchtub is a perfect example of the necessary and natural synergism of these three fields in both Clarkson's educational philosophy and the future direction of our global economy," says Assistant Professor Of Communication & Media Dave Beck.
The Dutchtub is available worldwide and was introduced to America at the 2006 International Contemporary Furniture Fair. It has been featured in every major design/social magazine, the HGTV Channel, Fox Morning News, and most major newspapers, due to a responsible design that focuses on transportability, a sustainable experience, and the philosophy of "boundless bathing."
For more information about this event, please contact Dave Beck at 315-268-4205 or email@example.com.
Find out more about the Dutchtub at http://www.dutchtub.com.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Hello everyone!
Been a long time since my last post but I am getting back into my Greek studies and found an oddity that despite my trundling through the internets, can't seem to find an answer!
1) in my Novum Testamentum Graece the circumflex accents appear to be different than the accents in my Mounce's BBG and Athenaze. Does anyone know the reason for the difference?
2) in A Reader's Greek New Testament, the kappa symbol is actually an "x" symbol, not the same as chi, but nonetheless confusing. Does anyone know the reason for this as well?
Anyway many thanks for your help, and my apologies if these questions have been answered already! I'm so glad to be back into the classical languages!

Local Habitat family can't wait to get into their new home
Apryl MacGREGOR, Special to the Connection, page 4
At the comer of Raglan and Ontario Streets in Collingwood stands the basement of what will be a family's first home - the first place they will ever truly call home.
Patrick and Lisa MILLER are the family chosen to reside in Colingwood's first Habitat for Humanity build. The couple and their three children; Jordan, Emmily and Sara, were told just before last Christmas that they would be building their new house, an announcement the family had long wished for.
"I didn't think we were going to get it'" Lisa MILLER said, as she stood and looked at the start of her new house.
"After the first meeting, I told Pat, 'we're not getting it.'"
"I told her, yes we are!" Pat said with a big grin.
It was a prediction he made that came true for the five of them. The pair has been together for twelve years, through thick and thin, hand in hand. Just before they received word that they would be getting the help to purchase and builds new home, Pat proposed to his long-time companion. They married this past March Since being approved for the Habitat for Humanity Build, the MILLERs said they have seen improvements in themselves and their children. The children have better grades. The oldest, Jordan, recently got a library card and has read at least ten books. Emmily got a perfect mark on her Spelling Bee, and promised she would study every night. The youngest, Sara, is opening up, asking more questions in school.
The excitement is building, brick by brick, along with the house. Jordan walked beside the cement walls that were laid the day before.
"I have to touch the house, Dad," he said as he ran his hand over the hardened base.
The basement is where Jordan wants his bedroom. The house will be a three-bedroom bungalow with an unfinished basement. The framework will be set up in the basement for a bedroom.
"We're going to drywall it and make it into his own bedroom," Pat MILLER said.
Lisa, the first to admit she's not a gardener, said she anxious to learn. "I've never had a garden."
The Collingwood Horticultural Society is helping with the landscaping on the house when it's finished, and the MILLERs are eager to pick up some pointers.
"I'm making a scrapbook," MILLER said with another big smile, standing close to her husband. "I come here and take pictures every day."
Pat MILLER already has plans lor his new house, "I know where my workshop is going to be; then I can take my tools out of my car."
Besides the plans the family has for the new home, they have a lot of work to do, and have already done much.
Combined, they need 500 so-called sweat-equity hours on top of their modest down payment before they move in. They can earn these hours by working at the Re-Store and helping on the build. They are proud to say they have accrued 400 hours, and their move-in date is October 1.
"I can't wait to build," Pat MILLER says, his cowboy boots digging into the soil that is now his property.
"If we didn't get approved, I would be here volunteering on the build."
The MILLERs were in great need of a hand up, a break. Since being approved for the build, the family is now together and has found a stable house to rent through Habitat for Humanity.
When they move into their house, the committee will follow them for one year after-ward making sure they are adjusting well. The house will start to take its true form August 9 when the walls and trusses will he put on the structure.
A natural high is what the MILLERs say they're on, especially since things are starting to take shape.
"We keep thinking we'll wake-up," both Lisa and Pat said, smiling at each other.
The shy, reserved family said they are counting the days, but know they have a lot of people to thank.
The attention they are receiving is something they're not accustomed to, but after a few minutes of talking about their plans for the house, even the kids get animated.
"We're going to paint our room pink and purple," Sara said, pointing out that she will be sharing a room with Emmily and that Emmily's favourite colour is purple.
The MILLERs say the biggest change in their lives, . and the most welcome one, is the fact that they actually have a house. Something they admit was unfathomable for them even ten months ago.
"Thank you to all who donated their time and materials."
Habitat For Humanity's motto is "it's not a hand-out, it's a hand-up."
As the sun sets over Sunset Park just across the street from the site, the children run around the property, finding heart-shaped rocks and putting their footprints in the dirt. Playing in their minds what their new home will look like. Hand-in-hand, Lisa and Patrick MILLER walk away to their car, glancing back at the frame of their first home.

Cartoon Brew is reporting that today is Michael Barrier's 70th birthday. I have no idea if this is the case. I would not have guessed that Mike is that old. However, Mike is certainly deserving of Amid's praise and I'd like to add some of my own.
I first discovered Funnyworld, the magazine Mike edited devoted to animation and comics, at a Phil Seuling comic convention in New York in the early '70s. I must admit that I bought issue #13 because it printed several model sheets by Chuck Jones. When I got home and read through it, I was flabbergasted. The issue included interviews with Jones and Carl Stalling and a two page article "Chuck Jones: From Night Watchman to Phantom Tollbooth" that was a critical survey of Jones' career that also talked intelligently about what animation directors did and how their styles differed as a result. Funnyworld treated animation with the same seriousness that the film magazines I was beginning to read treated live action films and directors.
I managed to come up with a copy of issue 12 from the late Ed Aprill, an early fanzine dealer and publisher. That issue contained the long and controversial interview with Bob Clampett and I was hooked on Funnyworld for good. I bought each succeeding issue as it appeared (unfortunately at too long intervals) until Mike ceased his involvement with it.
Funnyworld was also responsible for introducing me to the work of Carl Barks. While I had read some Disney comic books as a child, I had moved on to DC and Marvel. If a writer of Mike's perceptiveness thought Carl Barks' work was worthwhile, I had better check it out. I soon realized that while the stories starred funny animals, they were more mature and better written than the superhero comics I was rapidly outgrowing.
After that, the wait was on for what everyone in animation fandom referred to as "the Barrier book" and what was eventually titled Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in its Golden Age. Mike had started interviewing animation artists with Milt Gray in the late '60s and had amassed an archive of animation information second to none. The book took years to complete but was worth the wait. The book is essential reading for anyone seriously interested in the history of American animation.
Mike has his detractors. Many feel he is too opinionated or too demanding in his standards, but as animation remains mired in formula work both on TV and in features, I'd say that the rest of us haven't been demanding enough.
Mike has continued to author books. His biography of Walt Disney, The Animated Man, is historically accurate and free from hagiography, portraying Disney as a believable human being. His other books include A Smithsonian Book of Comic Book Comics (with Martin Williams) and Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book. More books are on the way.
To date, I can't think of a single person who has done more to uncover animation history or to shape my view of it. It's been a pleasure for me to swap emails with Mike and to meet him very occasionally, so assuming that Amid is correct, Happy 70th Birthday!

Boys helps father stay alive for days
Boys helps father stay alive for days
LINCOLN, Neb. —
Investigators say a 10-year-old boy helped keep his father alive more than a week after the man slipped at their Lincoln home.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the boy answered the door when a Lincoln investigator went to their home Friday. The boy's school principal had called police after not seeing the boy at school for four days.
The boy said his father had fallen on a wet floor more than a week before, striking his head. The boy says he gave his father fluids and nutritional items.
A court affidavit says the man's eyes were open and he was breathing but couldn't answer questions from the investigator. He's been taken to a Lincoln hospital.
A judge has put the boy in the state's care.

Plug-and-Play USB Networking
From Openmoko
I provide here an example setup which are more complicated than your setup probably will be.
Use case
I have 1 laptop and 2 freerunners. Whenever I plug my freerunner, I want my laptop recognize which freerunner was plugged in and act accordingly. Also automagically set up the networking for me.
You need a linux/unix computer with working NetworkManager setup. I have successfully use this method more than a month now, with Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty), I will test it also on Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), and report back here.
The NetworkManager on jaunty is:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is preparing top-to-bottom changes, including a push to limit the growth of military pay, as it adjusts to steep budget cuts and the winding down of war in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Tuesday.
In a speech on U.S. defense priorities, Hagel said that as the Obama administration preserves the military's strength it will make it a less prominent tool of foreign policy. That's not a new goal but one Hagel said is more achievable now that the U.S. is ending more than a decade of foreign conflict and the public is weary of war.
He sketched a future focused on investments in space and cyber technologies, missile defense and a strategy that assumes the world will not soon resolve challenges posed by terrorism and "heavily armed" states like North Korea.
He advocated a more humble U.S. approach to foreign policy.
"We must also make a far better effort to understand how the world sees us, and why," he said. "We must listen more." Cautioning against national arrogance, the former Republican senator from Nebraska and Vietnam combat veteran said "the insidious disease of hubris can undo America's great strengths. We also must not fall prey to hubris," nor to the idea of American decline.
Hagel said that since he took office in February he has been intent on finding ways to adapt the nation's defense priorities to the realities created by a rancorous budget debate in Washington that has undermined the Pentagon's ability to plan ahead. He warned of the impasse's dangers, including the prospect of nearly $500 billion in defense cuts over 10 years as a result of the forced budget reductions known as sequestration. And he noted that this would be in addition to $487 billion in cuts already in motion.
"These cuts are too fast, too abrupt and too irresponsible," he said at a public forum on national security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a centrist think tank. He cited a danger that the budget crisis "will cause an unnecessary, strategically unsound and dangerous degradation in military readiness and capability."
But he also said Pentagon leaders are not assuming the government's budget crisis will be resolved soon.
One possible consequence of continued impasse, he said, is that a larger part of the military will lose its combat edge. As a result, it may be inevitable that some forces will be less prepared to act -- and that, he said, would mean that in a crisis the president would have fewer options for protecting the nation's security interests.
"Just as overdependence on the military carries with it risks and consequences, letting our military strength atrophy would invite disaster," he said.
As it seeks to adjust and adapt, the Pentagon has been rethinking not only its priorities but also its policies and practices, Hagel said.
"This will require significant change across every aspect of our defense enterprise," he said.
In trying to strike a balance between military requirements and available resources, the Pentagon is going to reconsider its mix of active-duty and reserve forces as well as the mix of foreign-based and home-stationed troops, he said.
"In some cases we will make a shift, for example, by prioritizing a smaller, modern and capable military over a larger force with older equipment," he said.

Reviewed By W M W (BORING, OR) Reviewed for a 2000 Lexus RX 300 —8/24/2013 2:53 PM
Good-looking protection, it fits tightly without any flapping on the highway, replaced a factory cover and looks every bit as good on a Lexus. It is a "stretch" to get on or off, can't imagine removing it every time the car is washed as suggested (what about when it rains?). The felt-padded lining and fender hooks offer good paint protection, and the bungies stretch to secure the bra very well. Good product.

Skip to comments.Gun lobbys fanaticism prevails over common sense (Cover that keyboard and monitor)
Posted on 04/20/2013 12:51:58 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
You might have thought that the mangled bodies of 20 dead children would have been enough to overcome the crazed obsessions of the gun lobby.
You might have believed that the courage and exhortations of a former congresswoman her career cut short and her life forever changed by a would-be assassins bullet would have pushed Congress to do the right thing.
You might have reasoned that polls showing overwhelming public support for a sensible gun control measure would have persuaded politicians to take a modest step toward preventing more massacres.
You would have been wrong. The U.S. Senate sent a stark message to the citizens it is elected to represent: We couldnt care less about what you want.
Fifteen years of highly publicized mass murders carried out by madmen with firearms Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tucson and Aurora, to name just a few have changed nothing. Newtown, where 26 people, including 20 young children, were mowed down by a man armed with an assault-type weapon and high-capacity magazines for his ammo, provoked little more than a ripple in the corridors of Washington, where the National Rifle Association and its like-minded lobbies carried the day.
The grip that the gun lobby maintains on Congress is hard to explain. The National Rifle Association has persuaded spineless politicians that it is an omnipotent election god, able to strike down those who dont cower before it. Thats simply not true, but even if it were, arent some principles worth losing elections over?(continued)

A "progressive" liberal with common sense? No such animal exists. You've got a better chance finding a Bigfoot than you do a liberal with common sense.
During the 60's, leftist "Cynthias" were accusing our soldiers of being baby killers and calling our police 'filthy pigs.' Now we're to see it as "common sense" that Americans should be disarmed and weapons collectivized in the hands of cops?!?
Cynthia and her leftist cohort are very seriously unbalanced. Rather than a public 'dialogue' about conservatives and guns it ought to revolve around the questions such as: What is wrong with leftists? Why is it that every time they open their mouths they advertise their moral imbecility?
For what it's worth Gabby seems to have been totally unaware of the existence of George Wallace, and what happened to him ~ and she actually held an open air parking lot event the same year Arthur Bremmer was turned loose!
We need a mandatory course for everyone running for public office. It would be titled "Stayin' Alive On The Campaign" ~ they'd cover types of talk show personalities to not talk to, where to hold meetings, what to do with other people's cellphones and cameras, armed guards, unarmed guards, ...... all the hazards that can take down a campaign or a candidate in a second!
I believe the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives has such a program for new and current Representatives ~ apparently Gabby didn't think it was worthwhile. Now she knows although it might be difficult to tell that! She sure can't explain it.
I have known gerbils with better critical thinking skills than Cynthia! A textbook example of someone who is where she because of her race and affirmative action/preferential hiring, not because of her talent.
Cindy, Cindy, Cindy. Well I see you got your degree in journalism from Auburn. So, I'm sure you learned a lot about the first Amendment to the Constitution and the reason for it. But, I don't suppose you took a history course and learned about the rest of the Constitution and the Second Amendment and the reason for it.
But I can understand that you, as a true political liberal, only like to refer to those statistics that fit your agenda. You know Cindy, right after the Second Amendment is trashed, the First Amendment is soon to follow. And then the only journalist left are the ones working for the State Regime. But don't worry, I see where you were named "Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalist. That should get you a top job in Obama's National Press Corp. Oh, Cindy, you might wanna check that 90% stat you threw in there. That little mistake could cost you in the competition in this year's ballot for Journalist of the Year by the National Association of White Journalists. Oh wait, that "White" was a typo.
Isn't Cynthia the former editor who was demoted to columnist for being so stupid?
Obvious Obama Supporter. Doesn't matter how destructive his policies, regulations are or ihis Infringements on the Constitution she stands behind him all the way for one reason. They're the same color. I'd say that's a form of racism too.
What a waste of column inches. Nothing but leaps of faith, strawmen, with dreck as a binding agent.
Liberals tears are so sweet. We really hurt their poor feelings.
Cynthia is the most racist newsperson that I have ever read. Weekly trash in the ajc.
I'm a veritable FONT of sympathy for libs' bruised feeeeewings.
I don't bother to refute articles composed entirely of lies and misrepresentations. I don't have that much time.
The very wording is a contradiction.
"Universal background checks" are NOT background checks.
What the neo-communists want with "Universal background checks" is a cross-linked database that includes medical records, prescription drug records, Military service records, credit scores, grade school and college records, school "resource officers" records, civil judgments, employee drug testing, etc, etc.
Essentially, any scrap of data that can be tied to you. At that point the benevolent shepherds in our "most transparent" administration will set the sell / no sell bar as they see fit.
That is not "do you have a felony conviction" check.
Current law already does that.
And the 90% figure?
They are referring to the Quinnipiac University poll from Feb, 2013.
It is a twisting of what was actually asked.
Yeah, I know, SHOCKING, right?
February 7, 2013 - Americans Back Women In Combat 3-1, But Less For Draft, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Support For Universal Gun Background Checks Is 92%

http://www. quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/us/us02072013.pdf
What is glaringly obvious by its absence is the exact description of what comprises a universal background check because it never did ask that question.
It also does not differentiate between a private sale and a FFL sale when referring to "gun buyers."
Here is the actual question...
38. Do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers?
So of course the question is vague in that it only says "background checks."
NOT universal background checks.
But when it comes out of the neo-communists' mouth it has transformed into...
Umm, no, that is NOT the question that was asked.
Quinnipiac University Polling Institute... little bammy, assorted neo-communists, you lie.
One more thing...
Quinnipiac University

It's Cynthia Tucker. What did you expect, logic? That would be like Karl Marx urging you to buy bonds.
Cynthia seems plagued by certain...frustrations.
Think of the death count if the bombs in Boston had been placed at waist level.
Right now I am thinking of one boy blown apart and his sister with a lost leg, and many others with limbs blown off.

TOKYO--Japanese casual clothing retailer Fast Retailing Co. (9983.TO) said Friday that it will acquire an 80.1% stake in U.S. apparel maker J Brand Holdings LLC for around $300 million as it seeks to expand its foothold in the U.S. market.
Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing will buy the stake from U.S. private equity firm Star Avenue Capital LLC and J Brand's management members including co-founder and current chief executive Jeff Rudes. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of December through the use of cash on hand and bank loans.
Established in 2005, Los Angeles-based J Brand is known for luxury denim jeans sold at department stores worldwide, including Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue in the U.S., and Harvey Nichols in London. In 2011, the company reported 38% growth in revenue to around $124 million.
In a statement, Fast Retailing said it hopes to expand its brand portfolio in the affordable luxury market and strengthen development of denim products by tapping into J Brand's expertise.

This evening the Minnesota Senate will hear proposals from Governor Dayton that leverage federal health reform to provide new and or better coverage for thousands of Minnesotans.
This evening the Minnesota Senate will hear proposals from Governor Dayton that leverage federal health reform to provide new and or better coverage for thousands of Minnesotans. This coverage will be provided within existing resources and will move Minnesota forward toward a streamlined public program that works better for enrollees and better for taxpayers. These proposals build on the recommendations of the Governor's Health Reform Task Force, a bipartisan group of Minnesotans made up of public and private sector health care leaders.
"For the past 20 years, our state has offered meaningful health insurance to low-income working families through the bipartisan creation of MinnesotaCare," said Commissioner Lucinda Jesson. "While our public health programs provide needed coverage, they are too complex. These proposals will help streamline our system and leverage federal health reform in a way that is good for our enrollees and taxpayers."
Dayton's proposed budget makes it possible for more people earning 133 to 200 percent of the federal poverty level – roughly $15,000 to $23,000 for a single adult – to get on and stay on MinnesotaCare. By 2016, it is estimated MinnesotaCare will provide coverage for an additional 160,000 residents and be 95 percent federally funded. The department will also present on a proposal to streamline Medicaid eligibility.
Earlier this year another key component of the governor's health reform agenda, the expansion of Medical Assistance, was passed by the legislature and signed into law.
Presenting for the Department of Human Services will be Assistant Commissioner Scott Leitz. He will present before the Health and Human Services Finance Committee on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in room 107 of the State Capitol.
Fact sheets on additional DHS legislative initiatives and proposals are on the DHS website.

Readers of a certain age may recall the stir created in the late 1970s by William Shawcross' book Sideshow: Kissinger, Nixon and the Destruction of Cambodia. When Sideshow appeared, I was no longer a leftist and not yet a conservative. Unassisted by ideology, it was difficult for me to figure out what to make of the book. On the one hand, it seemed rigorous on its face, and Showcross came across as smart, serious, and honest. On the other hand, some very smart, serious, and honest people (notably George Will) strongly attacked the integrity of the book. And with all that had happened by the late 1970s, it struck me as odd to blame Kissinger and Nixon for the destruction of Cambodia. A few years later, when Shawcross produced an homage to Ho Chi Minh and the Vietcong, it no longer seemed possible to take him seriously.
Today, however, Shawcross is staunch supporter of U.S. foreign policy, and especially the war to overthrow Saddam, which he defends in his latest book Allies: The U.S., Britain, and Europe, and the War in Iraq. John Miller of National Review calls this work, "an exemplary piece of moral clarity and fine writing." Miller finds it "downright refreshing to read the words of a European who says things like this: 'As in the twentieth century, so in the twenty-first, only America has both the power and the optimism to defend the international community against what really are the forces of darkness.'" The British left, however, is neither refreshed nor amused. For example, The New Statesman complains that "once a model progressive, Shawcross is today a fellow-traveler of U.S. imperialism, a committed Euroskeptic, a powerful advocate of pre-emptive war, and an apologist for monarchy and inherited privilege." And the New York Times reviewer wonders "what's going on here."
At one level, what's going on is something not that unfamiliar. Shawcross has followed the path not only of Paul Johnson and Christopher Hitchens (not to mention the three Power Line crew members), but also that of his father, Lord Hartley Shawcross, a member of the House of Commons, who became known as Lord Shortly Floorcross after he defected from the Labour to the Conservative party. At another level, as Shawcross notes, "it's not illiberal to support getting rid of one of the nastiest regimes in the world." In any event, what Miller calls "the Shawcross Redemption" is a welcome development.
HINDROCKET adds: "an apologist for monarchy and inherited privilege"? Not having read Shawcross's book, I can only assume that he is not, in fact, a monarchist, and that this is another example of the fantasy-land inhabited by the European left, which can most charitably be described as lost in a time warp.

Do you talk to him when he whines, or make a big issue of it? You could quite possibly be encouraging it??
I know!! Benjamin is a talker/whiner/howler you name it! Before Maddie came along, and before I knew better I'd talk to Ben all the time. NOW I'm trying to encourage with all I have, quiet behavior. It's my fault and I know, but I'd just like to warn you. He doesn't whine due to excitement or stress he whines to get your attention, he whines while he's eating, he whines during play, he talks to you when you ask him to sit, he talks to you when you talk to him. Just about everyone loves it and finds his constant whines, and woo woo woos so endearing. I find them annoying. I'm in no way dismissing the previous posts, just suggesting you watch encouraging it or drawing too much attention to the behavior.

UK Prison Population Will Include Whole Country by 2020
UnFair and UnBalanced
Tuesday, October 23, 2018, 23:46:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
19 August 2007
London, Mediocre Britain: It was announced today by the Home Office that the current UK Prisons crisis has reached a point of no return. With new inmates increasing by 1,000 every week, it is predicted that by November half the country will be locked up.
"It's worse than we thought," said Home Secretary Jaqui Smith MP, in her usual whiny tones. "Crime is at epidemic levels in this country. No one is safe. Just last week, I was caught climbing out of Jack Straws back window, with his DVD player in my swag bag. Luckily, my brief got me off on a technicality."
The opposition (whoever they might happen to be, I think it's the Green Party at the moment) were quick to pounce. "The Labour Government, under the leadership of Gordon Ramsay, are letting this country fall to pieces. We need strong leadership. We need to send all the Gypos back to Iraq. We need to let the Daily Mail make all our decisions" said Conservative leader David Cameron, at Prime Ministers Questions.Prime Minister Gordon Brown was quick to rebutt allegations that he was 'Soft on Crime, Soft on the Causes of Crime'. "Mr Cameron may wish tae ken that ah wis walking doon the street the other day and wis canvassed by a filthy crack-head Big Issue seller. Ah pretended tae reach intae ma poacket to produce some change, but actually surreptitiously placed ma knuckle duster oan, which ah carry aroond fae just such occasions. Ah then poonded his head intae mush. Whit's thit ya doss-cunt? Youse want some as well, dae ya? C'mon then ya RADGE!! Let's 'AVVEE IITTT!!"
At which point the PM lept across the House and fought bitterly with his political opponent. Both are currently on remand at HMP Belmarsh, awaiting trial. Apparently, Mr Cameron is locked up with Great Train Robber, Ronnie Biggs, and the two are getting along famously. Mr Brown, however, has been put on segregation for his own protection, after receiving a stair-well nonce bashing when he was mistaken for Gary Glitter.
With our two most prominent politicians now adding to the prison crisis, UnNews has come up with the following suggestions to ease the burden.
- ASBO's for Fetuses It is well known that crime and criminogenic tendencies are a genetic disorder. By targeting specific demographics (mostly black, single-parent families from South London), we can catch people out and restrict their civil liberties even before birth.
- Hotel Prisons Putting someone in the Savoy costs less than putting them in a high security prison. As an added bonus, prisoners are less likely to try and escape, if they have room service instead of screws. And it will certainly shut those civil liberties twats up for a while.
- Just, y'know, letting people go early and stuff Oh, hang on, they're already actually doing that one

The public statements of Secretary of State Rice, collected in this piece by William Kristol, reflect a softness on Iran that one would expect from the Clinton administration. According to Kristol, however, that some of President Bush's supporters claim that the administrator's true position regarding Iran is tougher than Rice's statements suggest.
Unfortunately, as Kristol suggests, even as spun privately for the benefit of hard-liners, the administration's posture reeks of weakness. There are only two horses in this race — a nuclear Iran and an attack against Iran's nuclear facilities. Those who back a third horse — be it U.N. involvement or "tough" sanctions — are engaging in a Clinton-style evasion.

In a surprise criticism of Microsoft, the UK government's schools computer agency, has warned that deploying Vista carries too much risk and that its benefits are unclear. Becta, the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, said on Wednesday that it 'strongly recommends' schools do not deploy Microsoft's next operating system within the next 12 months. And in a further dig at Microsoft, Becta argues there are no 'must-have' features in Vista and that "technical, financial and organisational challenges associated with early deployment currently make [Vista] a high-risk strategy."

Young players make mark as tournament time arrives for offensive-minded Big Ten women's teams
- Image 1 of 2

The Big Ten women's basketball tournament starts Thursday in Indianapolis with four games.
Regular-season co-champions Penn State (22-6) and Michigan State (21-8), along with Nebraska (22-6) and Purdue (21-7), have earned the top four seeds for the second straight year.
Purdue, which has won six straight games, is the two-time defending champion. The Boilermakers have put together their longest win streak of the season, and the longest current streak in the Big Ten, without injured point guard KK Houser.
Indiana (18-11) plays Ohio State (15-17) in the tournament opener. Other games Thursday match Iowa (23-7) against Illinois (9-20), Michigan (17-12) against Northwestern (15-14) and Minnesota (19-11) against Wisconsin (10-18).

Massachusetts regulations will require strong encryption, a written security plan and more
The Massachusetts Data Breach Law, passed in 2007, goes into effect March 1 and requires personal information in networked systems to be protected with strong encryption, firewalls, antivirus and access controls.
"I think it's a good thing to have," said Bradley Dinerman, president of the Boston chapter of the National Information Security Group. "If nothing else, it will make many businesses more secure."
But it will not necessarily make them more secure right away. "I would say very few businesses actually are in compliance," said Dinerman, who also is president of Fieldbrook Solutions, a company based in Ashland, Mass., that provides information technology support.
The challenges are twofold. The first is awareness. "When I talk to one of my clients, they say, 'Law? What law?'" he said. The second is the requirement for a written information security plan (WISP). "Ninety percent of the clients I deal with on this law do not have a WISP."
The law was written in response to the theft of information on more than 45 million credit card accounts from TJX Companies in 2007. Hacker Albert Gonzalez pleaded guilty to the theft in August 2009.
The law is designed to ensure "the security and confidentiality of customer information," based on current industry standards, focusing on threats that can or should be anticipated. The regulations take into account the size of a business, the amount of resources available to it, the amount of personal data held and the sensitivity of the data. It covers paper and electronic records and requires physical and IT security.
It originally was scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2009, but was delayed at first until May 2009 and eventually until March 1 of this year.
"My clients now are in panic mode," Dinerman said.
State agencies have created their own regulations for compliance with the law. Regulations for nongovernmental organizations were written by the state's Department of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. Although the IT security regulations are largely technology-neutral, they do require "reasonably up-to-date firewall protection and operating system security patches," and "reasonably up-to-date" antivirus tools and signatures. There must be user authentication with passwords or other factors of appropriate strength and least privilege access policies, along with monitoring of systems for unauthorized access.
Regulations also require encryption of personal data transmitted via public or wireless networks and stored on laptops or other portable devices. The law defines encryption as using at least 128-bit keys. Written security plans must cover physical and IT security, include a designated security manager, and cover everything from system monitoring to employee training.
The policy requirements are basic, but putting them into writing can be difficult, Dinerman said. "Is it common sense? One would hope so. But many businesses don't sit down and think this out."
Enforcement of the law will be difficult inside Massachusetts and practically impossible outside the state, but the requirements hammered out over several years of compromise are reasonable, Dinerman said.
"I think the law is in a good place now," he said. "It forces people to lock down their systems and know what they are doing."
The challenges of compliance with and enforcement of the state law underscore the need for a single nationwide standard in data security and breach notification, Dinerman said. "It is probably a matter of time before all states have something in place," making compliance for multistate businesses even more complex. Is the Massachusetts law the model for a national standard? "We'll have to wait and see."

It can actually save the whole country from this awful health care.
This law has been around for a year, and postponed at least twice. The threatened laws in the House and Senate are supposed to supercede this and a big portion of the nearly 700 laws for infosec. How much money would you spend to comply when the law could change tomorrow?
I follow security stuff fairly closely as it's an interest of mine, but this is news to me. Not sure how I missed this. Perhaps it's not meant to help people but is actually one of those laws that's purposefully not advertised so that the state can use it to abuse people. I love how ignorance is no excuse, yet they make it impossible to know what the laws actually are.
I love how industry keeps touting "industry best practices" to the government, and yet security basics like security plans and encryption to protect sensitive data are nearly devoid in industry. It's a shame that government leadership feels that going to the industry is going to be better and cheaper for the government, sure it will (if industry doesn't know Security 101).
I should emphasize that all of my legacy clients are very informed of this law. Rather, I was referring to "clients that are new to me" when being interviewed for this piece. I immediately make certain that all of my clients are not only informed, but also start down the road to full compliance.

Icaros' approach to old applications is fairly different than the one chosen by PPC-based operating systems like AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 3. Due to the completely different x86 architecture, it needed to choose the road of emulation, providing a complete M68K Amiga virtual machine which runs another session of AROS itself, compiled for the Motorola 68000 processors. Since both host and guest systems are running AROS, they can share user settings for input methods, language, fonts and many other graphic details of the interface, making classic applications appear perfectly integrated in the AROS system. This, at least, in theory: there are still some glitches with right menus in coherency mode, but they can be easily worked around running the emulation layer on its own "screen", like most Amiga applications did in the past.
Lovers of AmigaOS 3.X, however, can still integrate the original OS into Icaros to gain perfect compatibility with the past, but they will have to provide files by themselves, eventually buying a copy of Cloanto's Amiga Forever.
Icaros Desktop 1.5 also changes the installation procedure, allowing people to exclude from their hard drives unwanted categories of software. For instance, if they're running Icaros without a supported 3D graphics card, they can now choose not to install games which need hardware acceleration. Icaros Desktop is now based on a new AROS kernel but, in case of compatibility issues, it also provides a "Legacy Kernel Edition" to use in the meanwhile, until all regressions will be fixed.

Two Sundblom Santas... and One Imposter
Well, I ain't buyin', and it looks like the public didn't either.Sundblom's Santa was back on the job as we can see in this 1959 ad. You don't mess with success!
* You can check out these images at full size in my Beverage Ads Flickr set.

Sunbloom's painting technique is 'buttery' & painted with an economy of big perfect brush strokes. The same goes for Elvgren. I've seen plenty of his originals & each brush stroke defines something important. Looks easy but just try to duplicate it! There's nothing really wrong with the 'pretender' Santa... it's just not pure!ReplyDelete
I remember one year the ROM had a show of Sundblom's Coke paintings, apparently one of the only times that these paintings were outside of Coke headquarters (Atlanta) let alone the US. And yes, "buttery" indeed. The man could paint!ReplyDelete
Leif, your survey of Santas really demonstrates what a difference that "buttery" effect makes. Both illustrators are technically acomplished, both use a realistic approach, both are painting the same subject with the same colors at the same size for the same client. Yet, Sundblom's "spark" adds magic and personality to the figures. Your imposter paints with all the accuracy and precision of a Steven Dohanos. He must have worked like a dog. But what a difference that spark makes!ReplyDelete

Picasa is a photo organizing program for PC. You can download it here for free. I would first like to say that I am neither an expert on Picasa, nor do I particularly like it, but it's what I use. So here are a few basic tips, I don't use it for much, mostly just for viewing my images, but perhaps other people will add to what I start.
The main reason I liked Picasa when I first started using it was that if you move an image around in your folder system, Picasa will track it and change the location in the program as well. It basically just reflects your folder system. Previous to this I had been using iPhoto on my Mac, which I felt royally screwed up my photos with some crazy folder system that I had to spend a lot of time redoing. I like that this doesn't mess with my folders and just reflects my changes.
When first installing it, there are a couple key options to get right. First go to Tools -> Folder Manager
This will bring up this box where you can select what folders you are viewing images for. So you can use it just to view your digital scrapbooking folder if you want (that's what I do, since I use Lightroom to edit my photos).
Also, go to Tools -> Options. Here you can set what file types Picasa will show you.
Some other quick tips. If you're looking for the tag window, click on this icon:
Also these little icons show you how you view your folder system. You can see I have the one on the right highlighted which personally I like much better.
That's about all I have for now. If you have any questions or advice, feel free to leave it below!

**1/2 (out of four)
If you've never read a Judy Blume book, you probably didn't do enough reading as a kid. "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing"? "Superfudge"? "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret"? You have to bat at least one for three there.
Surprisingly, "Tiger Eyes" marks the first film made from a Blume novel, and it's got the credentials: With screenwriting help from his mom, Blume's son Lawrence directs and co-writes this sporadically affecting take on the 1981 novel about a young girl coping with the loss of her murdered father.
Davey (Willa Holland of "Arrow" and "The O.C.") has little time to grieve in her Atlantic City home before she, her mom (Amy Jo Johnson) and her annoyingly perky kid brother head to Davey's aunt and uncle's place in New Mexico to get some distance from tragedy. She soon meets Wolf (Tatanka Means, a bit old for the role at 28), who tells her that thinking's not against the law. Good thing; "Tiger Eyes" features several shots of characters not doing much more than reflecting, as the Blumes struggle to transfer page to screen.
That doesn't mean the act of processing pain is wrong or easy. At its best, "Tiger Eyes" depicts a teenager acclimating to the reality of no longer having her dad there to care for her. Davey doesn't engage in some overdone, cliched rebellion. She just tries to ride out the sadness and figure out how to move on.
Unfortunately the Blumes can't prevent drama from becoming melodrama, and they gain little from attempts at comedy via Davey's quirky classmates. (One tries to recruit Davey for The Society for the Preservation of Creative Anachronisms.) More depth lives there, however, than in the sub-fortune cookie maxim, "Life is a good adventure," which is stated twice in the film. In both English and Spanish.
Time heals; repetition doesn't.
