Sochi, Russia - – Aides to the Chief Rabbi of Russia, Berel Lazar, are defending his actions after many questioned his attendance of the opening ceremony of the Olympics during the Sabbath.
Maariv (http://bit.ly/1eyQ3No) reports Rabbi Lazar, a Chabad emissary to Russia, attended the opening ceremonies after being invited by President Putin.
An assistant to Rabbi Lazar confirmed his attendance and stated the Sabbath was not violated and the rabbi did not bring anything with him.
Chabad officials and Jewish groups in Europe were asked not to respond to the subject, but have noted their displeasure with the rabbi’s attendance.
Russia’s Jewish community included various events during the Olympics, such as a Sefer Torah dedication of one of the three synagogues specifically built for the occasion.
Give the rabbi a break.
And the Rebbe didn't even want a Chabad house at prior Olympics because of the avodah zarah origins.
Just stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes tight, and keep saying "heter mishum eivah" over and over again.
Chabad and there shluchim are great, but I'm not sure if this is what the Rebbe meant.
I have spent a little time around the rabbi when he was in America recently. He seems to be a very warm and caring yid. I am sure everything he did was al pi halacha.
One story I have heard was that he attended a military show on a Friday. Beforehand he was assured a plane would be available to take in back in plenty of time. Unfortunately there were delays in the plane taking off early. It did leave and land at the airport in Moscow before Shabbos. There was no time to catch a ride home/to shul. So he walked for hours from the airport to his Shul. Shabbos morning he was at shul bright and early to serve his congregation.
as we saw from yesterdays daf yomi sukka 10b about not hanging clothes on top of a sukka to dry lest someone from the public not knowledgeable think clothing which is a klei and mekabel tuma may be used as kosher schach , so too although their may be heterim such as meshum 'eiva' for a rav to attend public events etc.
but for a chief charedi rabbi to be seen in such a public venue as the olympics isnt proper and can have a long term ripple affect on his efforts at kiruv and shabbos etc.
I would presume that the russian pres is aware that a religious jew cant do certain things on shabbos. that being the case he shouldnt have gone to the openings but rather arrive on motzie shabbos. if netanyahu can walk back to his hotel in norway on friday night because of shabbos dont we expect at least as much from a frum rav not to be seen at an event not at all in the spirit of shabbos ???
Just a thought. Maybe the Rabbi felt that if he didn't attend Putin would feel slighted and this might effect the Jewish communities relationship with the government? Maybe even effect the security of the Jews? If one looks at it that way, one can understand the Rabbi going.
For the wonderful work Cabad does around the world on an ongoing basis, they're entitled to make a mistake! No one is perfect!
BTW, Chabad like Cocoa Cola can be found internationally, what a concept!
He is Putin's lackey...remember when he gave Putin the HUMANITARIAN AWARD (sic!) in the name of world Jewry at the commemoration of 60 years of the liberation of Aushwitz? When he massered the chief rabbi of Moscow, Rabbi Goldshmiedt? Anyhow, Goy She-shavas is chayav misah! Better he should attend the games on Shabbos Kodesh.
Haven't we learned anything from Ester living with Achashverosh.
Yes she also had a "HETER" to do it.
What she did with Achashveirosh is not exactly what we would expect any Jewish Girl to do.
She was under pressure of Malchus and through this she was able to save the entire Jewish Nation - which is why she relied on this "HETER". Otherwise she wouldn't obviously.
Likewise Lazar was under pressure of the head of the Malchus of Russia, and appeasing him, helps save the spiritual lives of countless Yidden throughout Russia.
Considering that he did not violate any Halacha at all, not even Midrabonon (Unlike Ester), it was not only permitted but required, in order to help him save the lives of Yidden in Russia Spiritually.
There is a famous story told about one of the Chabad Rebbe's who had Mesiras Nefesh to spend an entire Shabbos inside a BAR in Russia, with Shikurim, there, who are known for the hatred of Yidden and he even had to befriend all the Shikurim and behave like them, to survive the Shabbos. The Rebbe had put himself in that situation, an entire Shabbos (not just part of Friday Night), in order to save other Yidden in Russia.
The gemara in Kesubos says eiskei rabim (the needs of the public) can be done on Shabbos even it entails discussing issues of melacha etc. This includes traveling and discussing matters with the authorities on Shabbos. I assume no one here is a posek, but it doesn't take a gaon to be don l'chaf tzchus that there was a valid heter for the Chief Rabbi.
Wasn't there a similar situation with the British Chief Rabbi for attending an event on Shabbos?
It seems that the koved of a king (putin is more powerfull then many kings) requires unique circumstances and Rabbi Lazar's attendance should be seen as such.
Tzar, give me a break.R. Lazar is a friend of Putin. There was no pressure to comply he did it on his own-questionable behavior.
“ Today is Purim Katan.
Who told you there any pressure. He went to a sporting event. Lkaf zechus maybe he had a good reason but its not clear there was any heter. The previuos posters comparison to esther is obviously different.
Epes, the letter of the law might have been followed but not the spirit of the law. What might happen is that Yidden on the fringe of observance see this Lubavitcher rabbi attending a Friday night game and say to themselves, that there is a baseball, basketball, football, soccer, you name the ball game, I will pay in advance and walk to the game, and shoein, it's kosher because I saw this rabbi do it. This is the real issue.
Likewise to the comment about "iskey rabim" who wrote "even if it entails issues of melacha"; is incorrect, it does not allow that a *melacha* done. And iskey rabim would be like in the story of the Rebbe who went to quell a bad decree against Jews; not to honor putin at the Olympics!
It's sill worthwhile to be melamed zchus; for maybe I and other critics wouldn't succumb to Putin's pressure; but please do not turn this into a mitzvah of "isskey rabim" and become martyrs at the expense of flagrant zilzul shabbos!
Everything is mutar for the melech putin, kol shekein for the heilige rebbe's shlichus. Who are the fat yidden to complain. He has to get Putin to make Chabad the melech over all russian yidden. Az men must, men must.
can we be dan lchaf zechus and think that maybe rabbi lazar wanted to help other yidden in russia by doing the bidding of the "king?"
If you're not living in Russia I dint think you should judge this rabbi. America is not Russia, the Jewish community is in a precarious state, I am sure he thought it over a thousand times.
For those holier than thou commentators on this site, they seem to have short memories. I remember when Jews in the Soviet Union, were not allowed to bake Matzah for Pesach. In fact, Matzah had to be shipped to Russia. Brit Milah was prohibited, as well as the teaching of Hebrew or Yiddish. Jews who dared venture to the few existing Shuls were closely watched by the government. Even when Jews gathered in Moscow on Simchas Torah to dance, they were beaten by the authorities. For decades, Jews could not leave the Soviet Union. Now that those days are past, we should be grateful that the Chief Rabbi has very good relations with the President of Russia. Isn't it better that there are good relations with the government, than for the government to turn against the Jews, as was the case in the late 19th century, and early 20th century, when pogroms were the norm? Hence, I support Rabbi Lazar's decision.
Once you become somebody's poppet - you have to do what your master tells you to do.
Please stop talking about Chabad kiruv workers only, there are plenty chasideshe, litvishe and other great people working in former USSR.
"Anyhow, Goy She-shavas is chayav misah! Better he should attend the games on Shabbos Kodesh."
One can certainly understand your objection of Rabbi Lazar's prior actions, but to say of him נכרי ששבת חייב מיתה is a bit too much! The man is a Jew, regardless of whatever past bad choices he may have made.
“ Once you become somebody's poppet - you have to do what your master tells you to do.
chabad was the first in Russia. when the rebbe came out with the concept of shluchim the world laughed; now they're all doing the same with a different name-kiruv.
not true, u r obviously biased against chabad.
People should dan lekaf zchus a person (as they should before criticizing yid and especially rabbi); but people have a right to criticize the practice, especially when it's public and in the name of rabbinate (as he is accepted Chief Rabbi) and such a practice has reverberations in other areas, so people have a right and obligation to voice their opinion that it is wrong. With that in mind the Rabbi should commended for his actions in revival of yiddishkeyt in Russia.
This obviously is a highly enlightening and informative and respectful reply!
I am sure this Rabbi spoke to his Rabbi before taking on such an act. Who are you to judge a fellow Jew? One who has given up the comforts of living in America or Israel with his family just for the sake of bringing yiddishkeit to Jews in Sochi is a much higher level than any of his critics.
Let's see any one of you give up the comforts of living where there are supermarkets and restaurants with Kosher food, Jewish schools and camps for your children to attend and do that just to help your fellow Jews. AND!!! He lives in Russia! Please.
Putin, a quasi dictator and strongman, has been good to the Jews.
He asked his Jewish representative to make an appearance at a PR situation that is important to him. On Shabbos.
The Jewish person, decided it is important to be there.
the SA says a yid who has to be mishtadel by Goyim is allowed to shave and wear shoes on days It isn't permitted.
I read once that the reason Rabbi Moshe sherer didn't have a beard is because he was involved in govt. Etc.

A Wednesday video by an Arizona auto body shop professional describes a structurally compromised 2011 Toyota Camry following a botched collision repair.
In the footage posted on YouTube, Matt Radman of Coach Works Auto Body in Mesa, Ariz., describes post-repair inspection findings done in conjunction with Collision Safety Consultants of Arizona co-owners Jan Vesely and Bob Isham.
“We talked the customer into dropping off the vehicle, cause we did see a lot of areas where there was missing welds, poor welds – or overly welded in some areas — and some major issues with the structural part of the vehicle,” he says.
One blatant error involves a more than 590-megapascal B-pillar reinforcement which has been cut along with the exterior skin, contrary to Toyota repair procedures, according to Radman. Alldata was used to confirm repair procedures, according to North Carolina-based Collision Safety Consultants President Billy Walkowiak.
“The downside we have is they decided … to cut the structure halfway through, remove just the outer skin, and be able to put it back after they welded …in here,” he says.
Unfortunately, rather than a continuous piece transferring the energy from a side impact as Toyota intended, it creates “really a shear point” that “ultimately could fail” if the Camry was T-boned, Radman says.
The 2011 Toyota Camry’s repair procedures describe the intended crash energy flow and demonstrate Radman’s point.
Poor workmanship can be seen on other parts of the vehicle, including at least one missing weld, exposed steel, a lack of corrosion protection, “opens and cuts” left by sloppy cutting, and a rocker pinch weld where “you can really see how this thing bows in,” according to Radman. He argues that sloppy work on the rocker and A-pillar could be life-threatening during a collision as well.
“Definitely make sure your vehicle gets repaired correctly,” he says.
Radman’s YouTube post indicates the vehicle was repaired by an unnamed insurance direct repair program shop, but any shop failing to follow proper OEM procedures could also be having a “there, but the grace of God, go I” moment with such post-repair inspections.
Such errors not only jeopardize one’s customers, but also one’s reputation and wallet. To paraphrase Tom McGee of Spanesi, how many $10,000 2011 Camrys can you afford to buy back?

Dental Bridges are a method to bridge and fill the gap for one or more missing teeth between two healthy teeth. They are made up of two or more crowns on either side of the gap with a false tooth (or teeth) between. Most often, porcelain teeth are used to fill the gap to give your smile a natural look.
Not only will a dental bridge restore your beautiful smile, it will also help improve your speech and chewing abilities, and will keep your natural teeth from shifting from their proper positions.
The process for installment of a dental bridge is fairly easy. Upon your first visit, your crowns will be placed. The dentist will recontour the natural tooth, removing some enamel, to make room for the crown to be secured on top. Then, impressions will be made which will serve as a model for the new teeth. You will be given a temporary bridge to wear to protect your exposed gums. Upon your next visit, the temporary bridge will be removed and your dentist will place the permanent bridge. It will be adjusted accordingly to ensure a proper fit and comfort. After it is secure and correctly adjusted, the bridge will then be cemented into place, giving you a strong and healthy smile for years to come!

One of the most frustrating things about home improvement is having to shell out money for a new tool that you only expect to use once. For example, if your bathroom needs re-tiling, you can’t reasonably do the job without a wet saw, which costs anywhere from $100 to $750. But unless you have another bathroom to re-tile after this one, that expensive tool is just going to sit in your garage gathering dust once you’re finished with the job.
What makes it all the more annoying is that your next-door neighbor may be re-tiling his bathroom next month, and the neighbor across the street could be doing hers next year. Unless they know that you already have a wet saw, they’ll probably end up going out and buying their own. It would make so much more sense for the three of you – or maybe even all the neighbors on the block – to chip in together and buy just one wet saw that you could all take turns using.
With a tool library in your town, you can do exactly that. A tool-lending library is just like a regular public library, except instead of books, it has a large collection of tools – gardening tools, woodworking tools, home repair tools, and more. Once you join a tool library, you can simply check out any of these tools whenever necessary. You don’t have to buy or rent new tools for every home project, and you don’t have to find space in your house to store a lot of tools you hardly ever use.
Like other parts of the sharing economy, tool libraries are a way to use resources more efficiently. They make it possible for dozens of people to share one rotary tiller, one drill press, or one extension ladder, instead of each having to buy their own.
Saving Money. Do-it-yourself (DIY) experts interviewed in The New York Times say it costs about $250 to equip a basic home workshop – and that’s not counting the cost of specialized tools for particular jobs. But if you belong to a tool library, all you ever need to pay for tools is a yearly membership fee, which can cost anywhere from $10 to $100. Some tool libraries are run by town governments, so membership is completely free for residents.
Saving Space. Many avid DIYers have houses stuffed with a huge assortment of tools, many of which they don’t use more than once or twice a year. When you belong to a tool-lending library, it stores all those seldom-used tools for you, so they don’t take up space in your basement and garage.
Sharing Knowledge. A tool-lending library is more than just a building full of tools – it’s also a place for DIY fans to gather and share ideas and tips for home projects. Many tool libraries also sponsor workshops to teach specific DIY skills, either for free or at a low charge.
Protecting the Environment. Sharing tools reduces the number of new tools that need to be made and sold each year. In turn, this saves the energy and natural resources that would be used to produce them. On top of that, tool libraries can serve as centers to promote sustainable living. For example, the West Seattle Tool Library encourages its members to take part in projects such as setting up home gardens, improving energy efficiency, and harvesting rainwater.
Building Community. Belonging to a tool-lending library gives you a chance to get to know your neighbors. You can discuss your projects together, help each other out, and possibly form lasting friendships.
The only real downside of belonging to a tool library is that when you don’t own your tools, you don’t have immediate access to them. You can only check them out when the tool library is open, and there’s always a risk that someone else may be using the specific tool you need.
So even if you belong to a tool library, it makes sense to keep at least a small collection of tools of your own. This should include the tools that you use often and the ones you’re most likely to need at a moment’s notice. For instance, when your toilet starts leaking, you want to have a wrench ready in hand so you can stop the water before it does any damage, not have to run down to the tool library to check one out.
The Berkeley Tool-Lending Library in Berkeley, California, is part of the town’s public library system. Any adult resident who has a library card can also check out tools, free of charge. Thousands of people use the tool library, with more than 100 new members signing up each month.
Berkeley’s tool library is one of the oldest in the country. It was founded in 1979 with a federal community development block grant (CDBG) of $30,000. It started as a collection of 500 tools housed in a portable trailer, with one full-time employee. The city took over the funding of the tool-lending library two years later, and in 1988 it officially became part of the library system.
Today, the tool-lending library resides in a large, warehouse-like building that’s open Tuesday through Saturday. It contains more than 3,500 tools, with three part-time employees to supervise the collection. The library’s most popular tools include weed eaters, extension cords, ladders, hand trucks, and hedge trimmers. The collection also includes smaller tools, such as screwdrivers and masonry bits.
Borrowers can check out up to 10 tools at a time and can keep them for either three days or seven days, depending on the demand for the tool. They can also call the library ahead of time to reserve a tool, but only to be picked up that same day. If they return tools late, they must pay an overdue fine of anywhere from $1 to $18 per day, depending on the tool. The overdue fines provide the library with nearly $20,000 a year to add new tools to its collection and to maintain the ones it already has.
Although overdue fines are common, it’s very rare for people to fail to return tools. Adam Broner, one of the libary’s tool lending specialists, says that the tool library’s patrons are “very loyal” and tend to be more reliable about returning tools than regular library users are about returning books.
Broner says the library is more than just a tool lending service – it also serves as a “community center” of sorts for people interested in DIY. Some patrons say that they visit the tool library regularly, even daily. Users say the service is convenient, saves them a lot of money, and makes DIY accessible to people who can’t afford to buy their own tools. One woman even confides that the library has taken away her landlord’s excuse that he can’t afford to do repairs because tools are too expensive.
The easiest way to find a tool library in your area is to check Local Tools, a website that promotes tool-lending libraries. Its comprehensive list shows tool libraries throughout the United States, Canada, and even Great Britain. You can use the map to find a tool library in your state or region, or you can search the list for the name of a particular town. Each listing includes contact information for the tool library – a physical address, phone number, and email address – and a link to its website.
There’s also a list of tool-lending libraries on Wikipedia. It includes listings for tool libraries in several additional countries, such as Israel and Australia. The U.S. listings are also somewhat easier to search because they’re organized by state. However, the Wikipedia list doesn’t contain links to the tool libraries’ websites.
If you can’t find a tool-lending library in your area, you can try starting your own. The Center for a New American Dream, a national organization that promotes conscious consumption and greener living, outlines the basic process for starting a tool library in its Guide to Sharing. Here is a basic outline of the steps you need to take.
Find people in your community who are interested in starting a tool library. Try asking friends and neighbors and asking at your church, school, or homeowner’s association. Once you find a group of interested people, hold a meeting and select a team to take the lead on the project. Choose people to take on key jobs such as financing, marketing, coordinating volunteers, and gathering tools.
Tools. Consider how many tools you initially want to offer, and where you will obtain them. You could buy new tools or start with donated tools from members, contractors, and your own collections.
Facilities. Think about possible places to house the tool library. You could rent a building, ask your town to donate space in a municipal building, or even run the library out of someone’s garage.
Business Structure. One popular way to run a tool library is as a tax-exempt public charity known as a 501(c)(3) organization. Setting up your tool library as a 501(c)(3) allows you to avoid taxes, but it is a fairly long and complicated process. One way around it is to make the tool library part of a government organization, such as a public library. You can also ask an existing 501(c)(3) to be your fiscal sponsor so that the tool library is officially one of that organization’s projects; however, many groups charge a fee for this kind of sponsorship.
Funding. Possible sources of funding include community block grants, local businesses, private foundations, and individual donors. Decide whether you want to charge a membership fee to help cover your expenses and what kind of fees you want to charge for overdue, lost, or damaged tools.
Staffing. Decide how many workers you will need to run the tool library. You can try to work with volunteers only, but it’s helpful to have at least one paid tool coordinator to keep everything running smoothly. You can have paid employees and still be a nonprofit organization, but you are responsible for paying their federal taxes. The IRS has detailed information about how to handle taxes for employees of nonprofits.
Membership. Decide which area you want your tool library to serve. Most tool libraries are open to all residents in a specific town or region. Another option is to have membership be free for residents and allow people outside the area to join for a fee.
Services. Consider whether you want your tool-lending library to offer any other services besides tools. For example, some tool libraries provide space for people to work on projects, hands-on assistance, or educational workshops.
The West Seattle Tool Library has developed a “starter kit” for tool-lending libraries that talks about all these issues in detail. This kit is available on its outreach website, ShareStarter.org. Although the document does its best to cover all the issues tool libraries face, the authors also recommend that you consult a lawyer about your plans to ensure that your tool library complies with all state and local laws. If you can’t afford a lawyer, try contacting a legal organization in your state that offers advice on a pro bono (free) basis.
You can see examples of lending policies on the websites of the North Portland Tool Library and the Rebuilding Together Central Ohio Tool Library.
To reduce the risk of damage and breakage, it’s best to start with new, construction-grade tools that can stand up to heavy use. You can also get donations of tools from local contractors and tool sellers, but you should test them first to make sure they’re in good working order.
As you gather tools, mark them with the library’s name and give each one a unique identification number. Give each borrower a unique ID as well, so that you can keep track of who is using which tools at any given time. You can use a spreadsheet program or library software to keep track of your inventory.
Once you have all the tools you need, be sure to keep them in good working order. Check them for damage whenever they’re returned to the library, and make any repairs that are needed, such as sharpening. You can charge users a fee if they fail to clean tools properly before returning them.
The Center for a New American Dream recommends devoting at least 10% of your budget to maintaining, repairing, and replacing tools as needed. Poll your members from time to time to find out what new tools they think the library should have.
Belonging to a tool library isn’t the only way to save money on tools for home repairs, of course. You can also rent tools that you only plan to use once, or borrow them from friends and family members. But a tool-lending library is more than just a source of cheap tools – it’s also a community. Joining one is a way to meet people, share ideas, and form closer ties to your neighbors.
Have you ever used a tool library? Would you use one if you had the chance?

One of the most frustrating things about home improvement is having to shell out money for a new tool that you only expect to use once . For example , if your bathroom needs re - tiling , you ca n’t reasonably do the job without a wet saw , which costs anywhere from $ 100 to $ 750 . But unless you have another bathroom to re - tile after this one , that expensive tool is just going to sit in your garage gathering dust once you ’re finished with the job .
 What makes it all the more annoying is that your next - door neighbor may be re - tiling his bathroom next month , and the neighbor across the street could be doing hers next year . Unless they know that you already have a wet saw , they ’ll probably end up going out and buying their own . It would make so much more sense for the three of you – or maybe even all the neighbors on the block – to chip in together and buy just one wet saw that you could all take turns using .
 With a tool library in your town , you can do exactly that . A tool - lending library is just like a regular public library , except instead of books , it has a large collection of tools – gardening tools , woodworking tools , home repair tools , and more . Once you join a tool library , you can simply check out any of these tools whenever necessary . You do n’t have to buy or rent new tools for every home project , and you do n’t have to find space in your house to store a lot of tools you hardly ever use .
 Like other parts of the sharing economy , tool libraries are a way to use resources more efficiently . They make it possible for dozens of people to share one rotary tiller , one drill press , or one extension ladder , instead of each having to buy their own .
 Saving Money . Do - it - yourself ( DIY ) experts interviewed in The New York Times say it costs about $ 250 to equip a basic home workshop – and that ’s not counting the cost of specialized tools for particular jobs . But if you belong to a tool library , all you ever need to pay for tools is a yearly membership fee , which can cost anywhere from $ 10 to $ 100 . Some tool libraries are run by town governments , so membership is completely free for residents .
 Saving Space . Many avid DIYers have houses stuffed with a huge assortment of tools , many of which they do n’t use more than once or twice a year . When you belong to a tool - lending library , it stores all those seldom - used tools for you , so they do n’t take up space in your basement and garage .
 Sharing Knowledge . A tool - lending library is more than just a building full of tools – it ’s also a place for DIY fans to gather and share ideas and tips for home projects . Many tool libraries also sponsor workshops to teach specific DIY skills , either for free or at a low charge .
 Protecting the Environment . Sharing tools reduces the number of new tools that need to be made and sold each year . In turn , this saves the energy and natural resources that would be used to produce them . On top of that , tool libraries can serve as centers to promote sustainable living . For example , the West Seattle Tool Library encourages its members to take part in projects such as setting up home gardens , improving energy efficiency , and harvesting rainwater .
 Building Community . Belonging to a tool - lending library gives you a chance to get to know your neighbors . You can discuss your projects together , help each other out , and possibly form lasting friendships .
 The only real downside of belonging to a tool library is that when you do n’t own your tools , you do n’t have immediate access to them . You can only check them out when the tool library is open , and there ’s always a risk that someone else may be using the specific tool you need .

In the four weeks ending on September 23, homes that sold above asking price dipped below 2016 levels, according to the latest data from Redfin. Redfin Senior Economist Taylor Marr the fact that fewer homes are selling above their asking price is another indication that competition is getting less intense than it has been in recent years.
Perhaps underperforming income growth and rising unemployment would suggest low home prices, but Las Vegas is the most overvalued housing market in the nation. Fitch Ratings explained although the city’s price to rent remains lower than buying a home and the population is growing, home prices still have overshot economic fundamentals.
Home prices increased across the U.S. in February, picking up the pace in annual price gains. This run, which is still ongoing, compares to the previous long run from January 1992 to February 2007. And with expectations for continued economic growth and further employment gains, the current run of rising prices is likely to continue.
Home prices increased in all top 20 U.S. cities, with the highest annual gains seen in Seattle, Las Vegas and San Francisco. However, despite the continually rising home prices, the Case-Shiller report explained affordability is not a concern.
Monday Morning Cup of Coffee: Is the way the CFPB handles enforcement about to change?
Every day, it seems there’s a new rumor surrounding the apparently looming departure of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray. But regardless of what happens to Cordray, the way the CFPB handles enforcement could be changing as we speak. Plus, the senators from Nevada call on the mortgage business to grant relief to victims of the Las Vegas shooting. All that, and more, in your Monday Morning Cup of Coffee.
Fitch: Is there a housing bubble in these hot, hot markets?
Texas is hotter than ever, but is it sustainable?
Housing in the state of Texas was hotter in 2016 than it’s ever been before, but is real estate in the Lone Star state getting too hot? A new report from Fitch Ratings suggests that Texas is one of a few states where home prices are not only unsustainable, they’re overheating.
Well, it turns out that the National Hockey League expansion team helmed by William Foley, the chairman of Fidelity National Financial and Black Knight Financial Services, won’t share a name with one of Foley's companies after all. RIP, Las Vegas Black Knights, we hardly knew ye.
Well, now it's official. The National Hockey League announced Wednesday that it will expand in 2017, becoming the first major professional sports league to bring a team to Las Vegas. The league's announcement brings a nearly two-year journey one step closer to reality for William Foley, the chairman of Fidelity National Financial and Black Knight Financial Services, who will lead the Las Vegas team as its owner.
A Nevada woman who was once part of the largest mortgage fraud schemes in the history of the state will no longer forfeit $107 million after a federal court of appeals overturned part of her penalty because it violated the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits the government from imposing "excessive fines" and "cruel and unusual punishments."

There are advisory committees, councils or task forces at the district or site level that serve specific purposes and goals. Most are specific to task completion. Most involve members from a variety of stakeholder groups and may be appointed or elected. They are not required by statute.
The purpose of the Duarte Unified Community Education Council (CEC) is to facilitate community input in a cooperative environment to study issues and guide policies that will improve the educational opportunities and achievement of all students. The Community Education Council is assembled each school year and meets quarterly on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Educational Services Curriculum Lab at the district office.
The purpose of the SATFC is to study a specific issue and report findings and recommendations directly to the Superintendent. Depending on the task, this group may meet once or multiple times. Membership may be comprised of any combination of staff members, parents, students, and members of other stakeholder groups who bring expertise and/or add value to the task (There are currently no 2017-18 SATFC meetings).
These are all formal organizations composed of parents, teachers and staff that is intended to facilitate parental participation in a school. Check your school for details about which organization is offered.

1 – Edinburgh City reached their first IRN-BRU Cup semi-final after coming from 2-0 down to beat Alloa Athletic on penalties at Ainslie Park. The Citizens are the first Edinburgh club to reach the last four of the competition in 25 years – the last team from the capital to do so were Meadowbank Thistle, who lost 3-2 to Falkirk at Brockville in 1993/94. James McDonaugh’s side have reached the last four by beating four teams from four different divisions – Alloa from the Championship, Arbroath from League 1, Albion Rovers from League 2 and East Kilbride from the Lowland League. They could have the opportunity to face a side from a fifth different league in the semi-final, with Connah’s Quay Nomads of the Welsh Premier League and Bohemians from the League of Ireland both featuring in Wednesday afternoon’s draw.
6 – Ross County defeated Motherwell Colts 2-1 at Fir Park to move into the IRN-BRU Cup semi-finals. The Staggies have reached this stage for the sixth time - they have won four of their previous five semi-finals. County have won nine of their last 10 away matches in this competition – the exception was a 1-0 defeat to rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the 2009/10 semi-final. County have won the trophy twice – against Clyde in 2006/07 and Queen of the South in 2010/11.
3 – Inverness Caledonian Thistle extended their unbeaten league record to 25 matches after coming from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Queen of the South at Palmerston. The last time the Caley Jags came from three goals behind to gain a point was a 4-4 draw with Dundee United in December 2012. On that occasion United led 3-0 within eight minutes, then Inverness roared back to lead 4-3, only to concede a last-minute Jon Daly penalty. John Robertson’s side have not lost a Ladbrokes Championship match since March, but have drawn an incredible 10 of their 14 league games so far this season.
5 – Arbroath remain 10 points clear at the top of Ladbrokes League 1 after thumping rivals Brechin City 5-1 at Glebe Park. The Red Lichties have won five consecutive league matches for the first time since September-October 2014. It was their biggest derby win over City in almost 50 years – the last time they beat Brechin by a four-goal margin was a 5-1 success in September 1969. On that day, just like on Saturday, Arbroath had five different scorers – Jimmy Jack, Tommy Ward, Harry Campbell, Jim Cant and an Alastair Littlejohn own goal.
2 – Berwick Rangers defeated Albion Rovers 2-0 at Shielfield to move further away from the Ladbrokes League 2 relegation zone. After a slow start, new Berwick boss Johnny Harvey has picked up two consecutive victories to build up an eight-point gap on Rovers at the bottom, and move to within nine points of Annan Athletic in the final promotion play-off spot. Prior to this weekend, it had been over two-and-a-half years since The Wee Rangers won two league matches in a row in the same season – that came back in April 2016.

The Citizens are the first Edinburgh club to reach the last four of the competition in 25 years – the last team from the capital to do so were Meadowbank Thistle , who lost 3 - 2 to Falkirk at Brockville in 1993/94 . James McDonaugh ’s side have reached the last four by beating four teams from four different divisions – Alloa from the Championship , Arbroath from League 1 , Albion Rovers from League 2 and East Kilbride from the Lowland League . They could have the opportunity to face a side from a fifth different league in the semi - final , with Connah ’s Quay Nomads of the Welsh Premier League and Bohemians from the League of Ireland both featuring in Wednesday afternoon ’s draw .
 6 – Ross County defeated Motherwell Colts 2 - 1 at Fir Park to move into the IRN - BRU Cup semi - finals . The Staggies have reached this stage for the sixth time - they have won four of their previous five semi - finals . County have won nine of their last 10 away matches in this competition – the exception was a 1 - 0 defeat to rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the 2009/10 semi - final . County have won the trophy twice – against Clyde in 2006/07 and Queen of the South in 2010/11 .
 3 – Inverness Caledonian Thistle extended their unbeaten league record to 25 matches after coming from 3 - 0 down to draw 3 - 3 with Queen of the South at Palmerston . The last time the Caley Jags came from three goals behind to gain a point was a 4 - 4 draw with Dundee United in December 2012 . On that occasion United led 3 - 0 within eight minutes , then Inverness roared back to lead 4 - 3 , only to concede a last - minute Jon Daly penalty . John Robertson ’s side have not lost a Ladbrokes Championship match since March , but have drawn an incredible 10 of their 14 league games so far this season .
 5 – Arbroath remain 10 points clear at the top of Ladbrokes League 1 after thumping rivals Brechin City 5 - 1 at Glebe Park . The Red Lichties have won five consecutive league matches for the first time since September - October 2014 . It was their biggest derby win over City in almost 50 years – the last time they beat Brechin by a four - goal margin was a 5 - 1 success in September 1969 . On that day , just like on Saturday , Arbroath had five different scorers – Jimmy Jack , Tommy Ward , Harry Campbell , Jim Ca nt and an Alastair Littlejohn own goal .
 2 – Berwick Rangers defeated Albion Rovers 2 - 0 at Shielfield to move further away from the Ladbrokes League 2 relegation zone . After a slow start , new Berwick boss Johnny Harvey has picked up two consecutive victories to build up an eight - point gap on Rovers at the bottom , and move to within nine points of Annan Athletic in the final promotion play - off spot . Prior to this weekend , it had been over two - and - a - half years since The Wee Rangers won two league matches in a row in the same season – that came back in April 2016 .

About the Book An interesting sequence of letters, written by L.M. Montgomery early in the century, was found in 1956 among the papers of Ephraim Weber who was living in the West. Now lodged in the National Archives in Ottawa, the letters reproduced here exactly as they were written, form a fascinating footnote to the history of Canadian letters. These letters are of interest and importance not only because they were written during the years of gestation and birth and outstanding success of the book Anne of Green Gables, but also because they reveal a lively extrovert in an eminently healthy balance. This is an absorbing book, for adults who have nostalgic memories of "Anne," and for writers who need encouragement in their struggle for literary recognition.
Wilfrid Eggleston (1902-1986), the founding director of Carleton University's School of Journalism, came to Canada from Lincoln, England. Raised in Alberta, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree at Queen's University before becoming Ottawa correspondent for "The Toronto Star" and Reuters. He was also chief press censor during the Second World War. His works include novels, literary criticism, histories of Ottawa, nuclear energy in Canada, the National Research Council, and two memoirs.

is Proper Response to "Gun Control"
We have discussed recently the Washington State ballot initiative, successful in the recent election, that will outlaw all private sales of firearms (because a sale in which the prospective buyer's criminal history--and increasingly even medical history--is first combed through by the FBI, is anything but "private"). That discussion was about the threat posed by this new approach by the gun ban zealots--using a lavishly funded media blitz to dupe low information voters into passing oppressive "gun control" ballot initiatives. A very useful breakdown of the future of that threat in other states can be found here, by the way.
For Washington gun owners, though, it's too late to worry about how to stop such measures from succeeding--the billionaire backers of I-594 have already won, and the law they bought goes into effect in about two weeks. The question now is what to do about it.
This is practically unheard of in the modern era; not only will 5,500 people deliberately violate the law through civil disobedience, but will violate felony gun laws.
Actually, according to the Facebook page associated with the event, the RSVP list of planned attendees is now over 6,200, with nearly 2,000 more "maybes." Among those planning to attend is tireless liberty advocate and perennial thorn in the collectivists' sides Mike Vanderboegh, who despite some serious health issues, intends to travel from Alabama to Washington for the party--about as far as one can go in a straight line within the continental U.S.
So what will they actually do at the event? The plan is to publicly exchange guns without a background check--a felony under the new law. As the event's Facebook page says, they plan to "violate I-594 in every possible way."
Now, a Washington State Patrol spokesman says people won't be arrested for exchanging guns.
"We don't think that we could prove that that's a transfer," said Bob Calkins, spokesman for the patrol.
It's not easy to believe Calkins' contention that they "don't think that [they] could prove that that's a transfer." The text of I-594 explicitly defines the word "transfer" for purposes of the law: "Transfer means the intended delivery of a firearm to another person without consideration of payment or promise of payment including, but not limited to, gifts and loans." With these "transfers" being made in public and in plain sight, the police could record them on video if they wished--sounds like a pretty easy proof.
The vastly more plausible reason that the state police have no intention of trying to arrest a gathering of thousands of angry, armed citizens is that they are smart enough to be terrified of starting a shooting war against an armed citizenry with both right and numbers on their side.
In short, several weeks before the rally, its planners have already won a key victory. The state's enforcers have already tacitly acknowledged their inability to do anything more than stand on the sidelines and watch as the law is violated thousands of times in front of their eyes. Nothing breeds contempt for a law as quickly as the knowledge that it can be openly violated with utter impunity.
We have seen this before. Tens of thousands (or scores of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?) of owners of banned (but "grandfathered") "assault weapons" in Connecticut are defying that state's mandate that they register them, and the state has been at an utter loss as to what to do about it.
In New York, compliance with the obscenely misnamed "SAFE Act's" similar requirement to register "pre-ban" "assault weapons" is unknown. Why? Because the state refuses to say, dubiously claiming that to release this aggregate data would be to violate gun owners' privacy (as if that would bother New York politicians). The far more reasonable explanation is that compliance is embarrassingly low there, too.
The movie "Defiance," about the Bielski brothers' desperate struggle to save themselves and hundreds of other Jews from the Nazis in Belorussia, is, despite its unfortunate choice of Daniel Craig for the leading role, an inspiring movie, with a tagline very applicable to this situation: "Freedom begins with an act of defiance." In Washington and everywhere else under the thumb of onerous "gun control" laws, it's time to get freedom started.

Project activities aim to develop instruments and advocate quality standards to enhance the technical and commercial performance of water and wastewater utilities, and to test and promote their application in water utilities through a blend of regional dialogue, training and networking.
Water TAP was implemented between 2013-2015 by water utilities in Morocco (ONEE), Tunisia (SONEDE), Egypt (3 companies of the HCWW: Luxor, Gharbia, Aatrouh) and Jordan (Miyahuna, Aqaba Water and WAJ).
The regional water association ACWUA is managing the pool of Water Integrity trainers and experts from the region who provide guidance and coaching to the water utilities. ACWUA is the regional advocate for Water Integrity at the Arab Water Week and Best-Practice-Conferences as well as at international fora. The Water Integrity Network (WIN) provides further advice through its secretariat in Berlin and its members, e.g. the UNDP Water Governance Facility at SIWI.
The activities of Water TAP are linked to ACWUA WANT, a regional capacity development program of the GIZ and ACWUA. It aims to develop instruments and advocate quality standards to enhance the technical and commercial performance of water and wastewater utilities, and to test and promote their application in water utilities through a blend of regional dialogue, training and networking.
The Water TAP project is grateful to the Water Integrity Network (WIN), namely Lotte Feuerstein and other international partners such as the UNDP Water Governance Facility, Stockholm and namely Dr. Håkan Troop at the SIWI as author of the training manual on Water Integrity for their valuable contributions and granting permission to use their training material and other sources.
