Show that a number has a terminating decimal expansion if and only if, it is rational and when in lowest terms, its denominator is coprime to all primes other than $2$ and $5$.
This is an unsolved question in my lecture notes. I can only seem to prove the converse direction for this. Would appreciate a solution for the other direction.
For converse direction:
Let the number, in lowest terms, be given by $\frac{l}{m}$ where $m = 2^ \alpha 5^\beta$, for some positive integers, $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
If $\alpha > \beta$, let $k = 5^{(\alpha-\beta)}$.
If $\alpha < \beta$, let $k = 2^{(\beta-\alpha)}$.
Then $\frac{l}{m} = \frac{kl}{k2^\alpha5^\beta}=\frac{kl}{10^q}$ where $q = \max(\alpha,\beta)$.
Hence $\frac{l}{m}$ is a terminating decimal.

S^ One of the broadest divisions
is between Ashkenazi and Sep-

pasty, arrogant Ashkenazim (not
my words). These Jews originated
in Middle Age Germany.
On the other side, there are the darker, dumber Sep-
hardic Jews (says the Ashkenazim). They lived on the Ibe-

no longer cool to be anything but Catholic.
The problem with these Jewish definitions I've just

day, Ashkenazim and Sephardim carry far different la-
For example, plenty of Ashkenazi Jews don't come
from Germany and most Sephardic Jews are labeled for
their origins of Middle Eastern or North African descent
(without the Spanish connection). Eighty percent of Jews
in the world are Ashkenazim, and most of the rest are Sep-
hardim. Outside of the American and Israeli communities,
anthropologists have found genetic and ritual aspects of
Jewry in places like Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe

Sephardim believe in practicing the writings of the Torah
and Talmud. For a Friday night service, one might stick to
Neo-Hasidic tunes from a "Singing Rabbi" (Ashkenazi),
while the other might do traditional chanting-style recita-
tions (Sephardic).Although the message is the same, there
are practically no synagogues in Israel that combine the
two divisions.
Culturally, it is best to recognize the sensitivity of
comparing the two. In the beginning of Israel's history,
many Sephardim hated or judged Ashkenazim in Israel for

Passover That Pot: Marijuana kosher for Passover?
JOSH FLEET There's been a flurry of talk'
about marijuana among religious
authorities, political activists, obser-
Svant Jews and defensive stoners in
Israel and the Diaspora.
SThe discussion centers on a re-
cent conclusion coming from the
Israeli pro-pot Green Leaf Party
that cannabis may not be kosher for
The precautionary announcement cited marijuana's pos-
sible legumal status as the impetus for preclusion from the
short list of things that are OK to eat (or even legally posses)
on Passover.
Legumes are a group of dry fruits including peas, beans,
lentils, peanuts, and apparently, pot. In Jewish law and tradi-
tion, these foods fall under the category of"kitniyot" and are
prohibited for Ashkenazi Jews (those of Eastern European
descent) on the holiday of Passover.
In the old days, kitniyot were stored or grown in close
proximity to grains such as wheat and barley which are
classified as "chametz" and are prohibited on Passover.
Accordingly, Eastern European Jews developed a tradi-
tion (which over the years became a "minhag" or legally-
binding tradition) simultaneously prohibiting kitniyot from
consumption on Passover -just to be on the safe side.
But this stuff is usually smoked, not eaten. Do the rules
even apply?
The pot on Passover issue only highlights a greater de-
bate in Jewish circles of observance about the questionable
relevancy of the still-standing kitniyot ban.
Two opposing blogs, the Kitniyot Liberation Front and
Kitniyos Defense League, have sprouted up online with the
first seeking progressive revision and the latter opting for
defense of tradition.
Many pot-loving Jews would like to discard the ban be-
cause of its out-of-datedness but are reluctant to do so with-
out a decree from a prominent Jewish ruling body or leader.
The religious court out of Machon Shilo in Israel pro-
vided such a ruling on March 20, more than a week before
the Passover holiday began.
The claim is that Jews living in Israel today should nei-
ther be classified as Ashkenazi nor Sephardi (of Spanish,
Arabic and Persian descent), but rather as their own group.
With this in mind, the ruling says Jews of Israel are not sub-
ject to the ban of kitniyot for Passover.
Heated politics of the ultra-orthodox aside, this debate
presupposes the idea that marijuana is permitted throughout
the rest of the year.
And why shouldn't it? Cannabis is a naturally grown
plant. There is nothing in the Torah that disallows its con-
sumption or use, except perhaps the harm it may cause one's
body when smoked.
So, another question is brought to mind: is there anything
in Jewish tradition or writing that directly or implicitly men-
tions marijuana?
The most prominent example can be found in the Holiest
of Holies. There is a verse in the Torah from which many
believe the word "cannabis" actually originates.
Exodus 30:23 describes the various spices and plants
used to make the sacred anointing oil for the Temple and all
our peoples' anointing needs.
It reads, "HaShem spoke to Moses, saying, 'Now you,
take for yourself choice spices, of flowing myrrh five hun-
dred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, two hun-
dred and fifty and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty.'"
In Hebrew, the phrase "keneh-bosem" is what has been
traditionally and vaguely translated as "fragrant cane." Many
view this phrase as subtle reference to the cannabis plant.

The Throwdown: Sephardim vs. Ashkenazi
The Ashkenazim were also a bit racist. You have to
remember that when the Eastern-European Jews first came
to Israel, they were already exposed to modernist schools
of thought like communism and feminism. When they
heard of Moroccan Jews keeping their wives entrapped in
the home and how many North African Jews spoke Arabic
as their main language, the Ashkenazim quickly labeled
them "backward." Even today there are Ashkenazim that
consider themselves more beautiful and certainly smarter
than Sephardim, as they note their long line of Nobel Prize
winning scholars. And what the hell is that Eastern-inflect-
ed singing the Sephardim always do?
But all that tension ... well, it doesn't really apply as
much these days. Sure, Israeli Jews have their heritages,
but as an Israeli friend just told me, we're living in the
second generation of Israelis. From what Iunderstand, any
serious animosity between Ashkenazim and Sephardim is
practically disintegrated at this point. In fact, there are
strange couplings going on in Israel based on off stereo-
typical commonalities.
There is an understanding that Polish Israelis and
Moroccan Israelis are great partners because both share
overprotective, smothering mothers. German Israelis and
Yemenite Israelis are also famous because they're both
anal about their organization and known for intellectual
debate. This is a growing phenomenon in Israel.
The stereotypes and traditions will never die, but at
least we're biting our bullets and daringly introducing
each other to our respective grandmothers.
Too drunk off ignorance
There is no testimony of the devastation that ensued in
Egypt during a nation's great escape.
So what does that mean for us? Should we cancel next
year's seder plans?
Should we forego the matzah pizzas and matzo balls,
accepting that only science justifies the soul? Do we need
the evidence, the fact, the DNA to know what G-d hath
done for us?
The absence of this evidence brings us to acknowl-
edge and question our faith.
Do we need Egyptian mitochondrial DNA to be found
at the bottom of the sea in order to validate our holidays?
Perhaps the evidence was erased for a purpose. The
story that we experience at seder tables, onbreadless dish
days, and on matzo munchfests is one of sweet, savory
freedom born from slavery and suffering.
We Americans have a problem: we don't look at our
history. Not our American history, our European history or
our religious history.
We are drunk off ignorance, and we love it. Slavery is
not so far in our past. Equality just came into fruition thirty
years ago.
But we are all too ready to forget all the sacrifice and
hard work our forefathers invested in our happiness.
We need to remember civil wars, global tragedies, his-
torical triumphs and even the calamities.
The history of humanity belongs to everyone. But are
you invested in your inheritance? By allowing ourselves to
let history be forgotten, we squander our greatest gift.
We need to look back. It is in our ability to reflect
on the past to ensure that we will affect the world with
We have been given freedoms, and some of them have
recently been taken away from us. Does anyone remember
the Patriot Act?
This piece of parchment has stolen rights from indi-
viduals around the country.
Phones are tapped without judges' permission, people
are held in captivity indefinitely, and we simply sit. We
need to understand the extent of rights and gifts that were
privileged to us by Man's and heaven's precedent.
It is my duty, your duty, our duty to begin changing
this world again. We were granted freedom for a reason.
We all were. What do we choose to accomplish with our
freedom is the ultimate existential question.
I say dream. I say build. I say do. We are the next gen-
eration of freemen and freewomen. We have an obligation
to ensure the freedom and health of our children. We don't
need the writing in the sand to know that we were freed.
The proof is in the pudding.

young age-that we wouldn't be so eager to tie the knot, seal
the deal and attach the ol' ball 'n' chain.

ception of J-Date), we aren't married off at 15 in exchange

In this country, we're allowed to date.
It's okay to see someone for a week and then chuck 'em
when they get clingy. Well, except for strict Orthodox Jews.
They don't date. They-have an interview to ask questions
about the potential spouse, and then the parents and the rabbi
decide if the couple can marry.
Can you imagine being married to the first person you had
a crush on?
I was certainly a poor judge of character the first time

popped so many pills that now he can barely remember his

Green Gators Speak Out and Win
50-cent fee to be added to each UF credit hour
SHPiEL Contributing Writer
The University of Florida can now proudly display its
colors: orange, blue and green.
Last month, students at UF went to the polls and de-
cided to go green, and a referendum was passed allowing a
50-cent fee to be added to every credit hour.
The Renewable Energy Fee, which will raise a total
of approximately $645,000 a year, will be used to fund
projects to increase the sustainability of the campus.
The bill was sponsored by Gators for a Sustainable
Campus, who pushed to get it on the ballot in the Spring
Student Government elections. At least 10 percent of the
student body needed to sign the petitionin order for the
referendum to be considered for the ballot. They obtained
nearly 600 signatures.
It passed with 78 percent of the vote.
The funds generated will facilitate a transition to re-
newable energy and better forms of energy conservation
on campus. The proposed changes include converting
vending machines to solar power and making dorms more
energy efficient, said Brendan Moore, president of Gators
for a Sustainable Campus.
The plan outlined other projects that include using
compact fluorescent light bulbs in the dorms to decrease
the amount of carbon dioxide released into the earth's at-
mosphere and installing solar panels on the roofs of park-
ing garages to generate energy from the sun, according to
the organization's Web site.
The underlying motivation for these projects is to
preserve enough energy and resources for future genera-
tions, said Dedee DeLongprd, director of the Office of.

The nine contestants included members of Club Cre-

Cultural Association. Each had to flaunt himself or her-
self in traditional clothing, casual wear, evening wear and
through a cultural talent.
During the question-answer portion of the pageant,
Balmes was asked about the importance of little pocket
communities such as China Town and Little Havana.
"These communities are important especially for

Balmes said.
Ajayi recognized personal qualities of each individu-
al. No race can be summed up in one word, he explained.
His talent, a recitation of his own original poem, clearly
emphasized this point.
"It's not the same person throughout a given race,"
he said. "We all have personalities and characteristics that
make us unique."
Despite individual uniqueness, students still feel the
need to be part of a group they can relate to. Lawson noted
the significance of VISA at UF. She said students often
feel very alone on such a large campus and VISA allows
minority groups to stick together as a family.
The contestants were able to showcase their cultures
and represent minority groups through their participation
in the pageant. By educating the public in this way, stereo-
types and racial prejudices can be dispelled, said Sean-Pat-
rick Prince of the Caribbean Student Association. Prince
said he is hopeful about America's future.
"I do believe America can be free of racial stereo-
types," he said, "but it will take the effort of all cultural
Matzo for Easter: Ramblings from a Reader
SVINCENT MASSARO So...it's been a while. I know,
SI know-I should have called. But
let me just say, you look fantastic-
g no, I really mean it. Did you lose
weight? You look like you've lost
at least 20 pounds. Wait, what? No
Si bread or yeast products for an entire
Weekk! How did you do it? Can you
still feel your legs?
Anyway, in case you've been wondering what I, your
humble pagan writer of Jewish culture, have been up to these
days, I'll tell you.
Last week, I returned from a six-week sabbatical from
the Amazon (which may or may not include a half-naked
Vincent ordering area rugs from Amazon.com) to find that I
had been invited to attend my very first seder..
In case you forgot, I'm a recovering Catholic, not Jew-
ish. Easter was on Sunday. The bunnies and I had a blast.
But I thought the seder would be a great learning op-
portunity, so on April 3, I attended this highly unpassable
Passover Seder at the apartment of fellow SHPiELer, all-
around-do-gooder and superhero Josh Kaller. (Note: "un-
passable Passover" is a trademark of Joshua Kaller.)
I brought with me two bottles of Manischewitz and a
sofa cushion. I left the carton of eggs and the decorating kit
in the car.
The first thing I noticed at the seder was that everyone
was Jewish.
The second thing I noticed was the cat in the corer that
would awaken my allergies. I have never sneezed so much
in one evening. Lucky, I was saved by the handkerchief my
grandfather taught me to put in my pocket--even if I look
like a grandpa when I take it out. I wash it regularly, though.
I promise.
I found the company to be very welcoming and very
warm-literally, it had to be 110 degrees in there. More than
30 people crowded into Josh's living room. We opened the
windows, but water condensed on the air vent only to drip on
unsuspecting guests.
It was a hardship, but Josh reminded us that fleeing
Egypt and spending 40 years in the desert was probably a bit
more uncomfortable.
It was interesting for me as a Catholic because we're
taught the same stuff growing up. In the Old Testament, we
learn about the slavery in Egypt, Moses, the plagues, Pha-
raoh, the parting of the Red Sea and so on.
Back to the seder at hand, everyone took turns read-
ing aloud from the Haggadah (brought to you by the Max-
well House family of coffees) and singing in Hebrew. I
tried to follow along with the phonetic English version, but I
couldn't find the right page.
What really struck me, though, was the sense of family.
It's tough for the non-Christian religions to celebrate their
-holidays without the intrusion of work or school.
Everyone that night was away from their family, away
from their home. But together, it was like a new family had
Even though everybody's explanations and little tra-
ditions varied slightly, all were gathered to celebrate their
common heritage.
Above all, the food was outstanding even though, at
times, I wasn't sure what I was eating. The charoset was my
favorite, I think.
Everyone helped explain things to me, even with my
chronic sneezing. And I even enjoyed the Manischewitz, es-
pecially after someone told me it was a mitzvah, or good
deed, to drink the wine at the seder table.
Later in the evening, a man named Alfie Coleman went
missing, and we had to find him. He's this elderly Jewish
gentleman (a survivor, I think), but he gets disoriented now
and again, and all the pillows made it very easy to get lost. We
found him underneath some furniture, and he's OK now.
After I went home, I sold all my chametz (leavened
bread products) to my neighbor. Next year, I'll see you in

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote to the Polish prime minister requesting that
his country enact a restitution law for property confiscated during the Nazi and
communist eras. Also signing the letter to Jaroslaw Kaczynski were members of
the Helsinki Commission. Clinton and the commission want the Polish govern-
ment to ensure that properties obtained illegally will be returned or the owners
will be properly compensated.
Israel's state comptroller is expected to release reports soon on alleged financial
improprieties by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The improprieties, labeled "grave"
by comptroller officials, concern the Trade Ministry's Investment Center and the
purchase of Olmert's home in Jerusalem, Ha'aretz reported.
Azmi Bishara, chairman of Israel's Arab Balad Party, will resign in the coming
da) s. The Jerusalem Post, citing a report Sunday in the Nazareth-based A-Sinara
newspaper, said Bishara will resign over "very serious" allegations. However, a
gag order prevented releasing further details.
One elephant trampled another to death at an Israeli nature park. Yossi, a 33-year-
old, se\ en-ton bull elephant, charged and killed his herd's matriarch Monday,
a 46-year-old female named Atari, as visitors at the Safari Park near Tel Aviv
watched in horror, according to Ha'aretz. "What happened to Yossi, who grew up
all his life with Atari, and they always got along?" YigalHorowitz, a veterinarian
at the park, said to Israel Radio. "Here and there were small fights, but they never
had fight like this one."
P.- pe Benedict XVI in his annual Easter message noted some "signs of hope
in the dialogue between Israel and the Palestinian Authority" while lamenting
the "continual slaughter" in Iraq. Also citing unrest in Afghanistan, the pontiff
denounced terrorism and kidnapping, and "the thousand faces of violence which
some people attempt to justify in the name of religion," as well as human rights
violations. He also had harsh words about the "underestimated humanitarian situ-
ation" in Darfur as well as other African places of suffering.

Give Me Some of that Klezmer Juice
Opening for radio
breakout Ben Harper wasn't
the first thing Klezmer Juice's
Gustavo Bulgach mentioned in
the interview.
It wasn't even the second.
Itwasmore like anafterthought
just before he hung up the phone.
Bulgach wasn't sure how he got
the gig at the upcoming Claremont
Folk Festival in Claremont, Calif.
He said it came through the friend
of a friend.
The contact told Bulgach to
drop off a copy of his album at some
obscure record shop in California.
There would be two guys waiting
for him.
The guys called him back,
blasting Klezmer Juice in the
background, Bulgach said. They
asked him if he wanted to play at
a music festival where Harper was
It doesn't hurt that his friends happen to be rock
'n roll artist Little Richard, DJ So-Called and drummer
Nicole Falzone, who Bulgach said is amazing.
Bulgach was offered a spot with the house band at
the House of Blues in Hollywood, but he turned it down.
"I don't want to be a rock star," Bulgach said. "I

-Gustavo Bulgach
Bulgach said he would play under one condition-
if he was scheduled on the same day as Harper.
The 41-year-old clarinet player is the only consistent
member of Klezmer Juice. He'll ask his musician friends
to back him with other instruments when he sets up a

never wanted to be a rock star."
Bulgach just wants to revive
the klezmer sound, a style of music
associated with secular Ashkenazi
Judaism and the Yiddish language.
But the festival is not the only
attention he's received.
Country Music Heritage
Records asked Bulgach to make
a tribute album to reggae artist
Matisyahu. Like the Claremont Folk
Festival gig, Bulgach said he wasn't
sure how the company found him
but made the album anyway.
He transcribed Matisyahu's
music and studied the songs.
Bulgach's ability to cover a modern
Jewish artist in a klezmer style has created a link to Old
World Judaism through contemporary music.
However, Bulgach said his music isn't just for Jews.
"When I play for a non-Jewish audience I hear, 'I felt
Jewish today,'" Bulgach said.
Klezmer Juice will be playing at the 27th Annual
Claremont Folk Festival in Claremont, Calif. on May 5
Poison the Well, A New Version
Coatribiting Wrter
In the opening lines of Poison the Well's new CD
"Versions," released April 2, front-man Jeffrey Moriera
proclaims, "Tell me you doubt I'm ordinary." His band's
new album is anything but.
Moriera and his band mates, drummer Chris
Hombrook and guitarist Ryan Primack, just released their
fourth full-length album. The first record on the band's
new label Ferret Records, "Versions" fortifies everything
fans love about PTW and creates what is (so far at least)
the most cohesive
and brilliant
Poison the Well: album of 2007.
"Versio PTW has
Versionsalways differed
from its metalcore
Album rating: A peers-the band
understands how
heavy music can
have melody and
still maintain its edge. Many of the songs on this release
have less of Moriera's screaming than previous albums.
"Versions" reinforces what most PTW fans already know:
how incredible Moriera's voice actually is.
Songs like the "Nagaina" and Slow Good Morning"
display the beauty of Moriera's slow croon and bring
back memories of early Quicksand. But make no mistake,
the album still brings the noise. From the opening fury of
"Letter Things" to the ending screams of "The First Day
of My Second Life," they still rock harder than anything
you'll hear on the radio and most bands that you won't.
The perfect blend of intensity and passion, "Versions"
makes bands like Hinder and Disturbed wonder why they
can't even fake this kind of sincerity. It manages to capture
all the power and energy of aPTW show and turn it into an
album that won't be leaving your CD player anytime soon.
If you like Thursday, From Autumn to Ashes, Atreyu or
just good music in general, this album is a must-have.

Yoseph Lieb, a periodic contributor and-member of
the Jewschool community, has his own blog "Cannabis
Chassidis" for which he uses this verse and other teachings
to delve deep into the question of drug use in a religious
Jewish context.
In one .post, Lieb claims, "In some modem Halachic
opinions...marijuana is the most Mehudar (wonderful)
spice to use for Havdalah, the separation ritual after the
Unfortunately, any further reference to cannabis in
biblical or even rabbinic Jewish text and debate has either
been lost, suppressed or simply doesn't exist.
While I'd love to further justify nightly couch sessions
and Waffle House runs as -necessary for personal Jewish
enrichment, this seems a bit of hopeful stretch.
The recent debate regarding cannabis and relevant
Passover restrictions presume that it is in fact kosher dur-
ing the non-Pesach part of the year. Until an official ruling
is made though, use of cannabis in a Jewish context will
remain a matter of personal choice.
And to that, let us say: Amen.

On Friday, Lori and I had the opportunity to
tour the New York Times and experience the "
magic of one of the most trusted newspapers in
the world first-hand. We visited the news room,
the editorial board room and the Wall of Fame, -.
where exceptional journalists were honored for
their achievements.
In our spare time, the "Double Mint Twins"
as Lori and I were so delightfully dubbed for the
weekend, made it a point to get a real feel for the

I had documentation of this earth-shattering event, but
after Katz's we went shopping around the West Village
where my purse, which contained my camera with all of
the pictures from the trip, was stolen right off my arm.
It wasn't at all like the movies. A guy in a black ski
mask didn't yank the purse and jet down the street as I
screamed for help. In fact, I didn't even realize it was gone
for 10 minutes. Words of caution: wear a purse with thick
straps that can't easily be cut with a razor. The police of-
ficers who responded to the call also advised me to avoid
backpacks because the bottoms can be easily slit, and your
fallen belongings will be taken hostage before you realize
as it is-but because one of the greatest college teams ever
created will soon be no more. The allure of guaranteed,
first-round money was enough to draw four of UF's star
Junior players.
Al Horford, a 6"10'monster, is touted by scouts as
the most NBA-ready of the Orange and Blue. In his junior
season, Horford continued to show defensive presence as
a shot blocker as well as a force on the offensive and de-
fensive boards. But he showed the most improvement is
his offensive game. Hartford's post-game also improved
and his mid-range jump will probably impress the scouts.
I'm predicting "The Godfather" can look forward to being

what's up.
Sadly, we did not get to experience the famed sexy
NYC nightlife because neither of us are 21. But for our
last night, we managed to get cupcakes from the Magnolia
Cafe, which was featured on "Sex and the City."
The line just to get in was wrapped around the block,
and we had to wait for 30 minutes to get a cupcake arid
get out.
It was like trying to get into an exclusive club, but let me
just say, Magnolia Caf6 was better than any bar. Despite
getting my purse stolen, being locked out of my apartment
and having to deal with the police, I would go back to

and a quick first step, and his steals during the season were
momentum-stoppers for many opposing teams. Unlike
Noah, Brewer's stock is on the rise, and I see him as a top
eight pick.
STaureen Green is quick off the dribble but lacks the
driving ability that great NBA point guards need. Even
so, he is an exceptional shooter and a great general floor
player. Projection: early second round.
So where does that leave the Orange and Blue for next
year? I'm guessing a repeat SEC championship. Florida
returns a group of young talent that will only get better
with recruiting help. Led by the underrated Walter Hodge,
the Gators will still pose a great threat in the coming sea-
I look forward to coming-out parties for 6"11, 250-
pound Marreese Speights and a versatile Dan Werner. With
a nucleus of good players and maybe somp more "Billy
ball," who knows what's in store for next year's Gators?
Remember, it was all just a dream four years ago when the
Gators were projected to finish fourth in the SEC East.
We all know how that ended up.

Lou Limmer, who played a role in Jewish baseball history, dies
BOSTON (JTA) Lou Limmer, part of a little-known
bit of Jewish baseball trivia, passed away April 1 at age 82
in Boca Raton, Fla.
'"The Philadelphia A's first-baseman appeared in a total
of 209 games in 1951 and 1954, batting .202 with 19 hom-
ers, 62 RBIs and three stolen bases.
Notwithstanding those modest numbers, fans with a
particular interest in Jews in baseball and the history of
baseball in Philadelphia remember Limmer fondly for four
reasons: his membership in a small group of Jewish play-
ers whose careers spanned the years between the Hank
Greenberg and Sandy Koufax eras; his central role in a
"historic baseball encounter"; his place in Philadelphia
Athletics history; and his unique contribution to "the Jew-
ish angle" among all Jewish players.
Hank Greenberg retired after spending the 1947 sea-
son with Pittsburgh, and Sandy Koufax made his "bonus
baby" debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the summer of
During the intervening seven seasons, a dozen Jewish
players played or were called up to the major leagues.
In their ranks were three prominent players, three
journeymen and a half-dozen players who came up from
the minors only briefly.
Although the word is often overused, these players
formed a kind of community. In varying and interlocking
combinations they knew each other, socialized, played
winter ball together and, on at least one occasion, did a
Passover seder together.
The prominent players were New York Giants and
Boston Braves slugger-outfielder Sid Gordon; 1951 Amer-
ican League ERA-leader Saul Rogovin, and 1953 AL MVP
Al Rosen, who almost won the Ttriple Crown.
The journeymen were catcher Myron (later "Joe")
Ginsberg, outfielder Cal Abrams, and Bronx- born Louie
Limmer, who was one of 12 children from an Orthodox
It was Limmer who told the story of three Jewish play-
ers and one Italian-American umpire. It happened May 2,
1951, and remains the only known time that a Jewish bat-
ter faced a Jewish pitcher with a Jewish catcher behind
the plate.
In Limmer's words: "I got along with most of the um-
pires. There was this one, Joe Paparella, he was a nice guy.
We had a game in Detroit and Saul Rogovin was pitching
and Joe Ginsberg was catching. I came up to pinch hit.
So Paparella comes from behind home plate and he
dusts it off and he says. 'Boy, now I've got the three Hee-
bs. I wonder who's going to win the battle?' and Rogovin
throws the first pitch and I hit it into the stands, and Papa-
rella says, 'I guess you're the winner, Lou.'
It so happens I wasn't the winner because Joe Gins-
berg stayed with Detroit, and Saul Rogovin went to the
White Sox that year and he led the league in ERA and poor
Lou Limmer, he got shipped to the minors."
Limmer's minor-league career; both before and af-
ter his major-league stint, reads like a railroad signboard:
Omaha, Lincoln, Louisville, St. Paul, Buffalo, Toronto,
Columbus, Birminhgam.
Virtually wherever he played, Limmer recalled, Jews
reached out to him -- the dairy owner in Lincoln, the car
dealers in Omaha and Toronto.
He also recalled anti-Jewish, anti-Black road signs in
the South, and hanging out with Jackie Robinson in Flor-
ida in spring training towns where neither of them were
A frequent participant in gatherings of the Philadel-
phia A's Historical Society, Limmer was proud to relate
that, at the end of the 1954 season, just before the A's
moved to Kansas City, he had the last homer and the last
base-hit in franchise history.
Limmer also was the first Jewish ball-player to serve
as president of his synagogue, at Castle Hill Jewish Com-
munity Center in his native and beloved Bronx. He served
a five-year term.
Lou Limmer was a great-story teller, a reminder of
a unique between-the-superstars era of Jew in Baseball...
and a mensch.
Martin Abramowitz produces Jewish baseball cards
and lectures on Jew in baseball as president of Jewish
Major Leaguers, Inc., on the web at www.jewishmajor-
leaguers.org. This appreciation is based in large measure
on a Jewish Major Leaguers oral history interview of Lou
Limmer conducted in November 2005 by journalist Marc

Nice looking mirrors. Was easy to thread onto the bars. Will update after ridding with them.

These mirrors are great. I replaced the OEM mirrors on my 93 Suzuki GS500. These were really easy to install, look great, and give me a really good, wide range of vision. After a fall, one of the mirrors' ball and socket joints got stuck, but with some WD40 and some banging it loosened up. The field of vision with these really is great. They aren't convex, though, just FYI.

I bought these and installed them on my 2005 Ducati monster 900. The mirrors screwed into the handlebars without a problem. The black matched well with my bike's color. The mirror lens is big enough for me. They don't move around either while im riding. These are definitely good mirrors for the price.

While it's not quite as nice as that Rivendell diorama from last month, this giant, custom-built LEGO Hobbiton set is still worth downing a few frothy pints over.
Depicting the setting up before Bilbo's big birthday bash, the real highlight is Bag End, whose roof can come off to reveal a meticulously detailed interior, full of furniture, clutter and low-hanging support beams.

Why Can't I Exercise with Ketones?
After you eat, fats are digested in the stomach into their building blocks — fatty acids. These fatty acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream or stored in the body. When you exercise the body uses two sources of fuel — sugar and these stored fatty acids — to generate energy.
It works this way: stimulated by the demand from your exercising muscles your body pours glucose into your bloodstream, which cannot get into your muscles when you do not have enough insulin available to "unlock the doors" to your muscles. Your body then cleverly looks to alternative sources for fuel — the free fatty acids — to help fuel your muscles since it cannot get to the glucose. The use of fat for fuel results in a byproduct called ketones. These ketones accumulate in the blood and also spill over into the urine.
The presence of ketones is called "ketonuria," and further dehydration and ketone build-up can result in ketoacidosis, which is a medical emergency. The bottom line is that the presence of ketones in someone with type 1 diabetes shows a dangerous lack of insulin and the immediate need for more insulin. Exercise, at this time, will only burn more fat and produce more ketones.

Wall Art Studios made the most beautiful decals for me which really brightened up my Occupational Therapy Practice. They were of excellent quality and they set up the installation for me, which was done perfectly! I also ordered a custom logo piece, which matched my specifications exactly, it looks great and ties in with all my stationary really well.

Great choice of stickers, love the fact you can customise colours and choose from a range of sizes. Most valuable though was the option to pay a little more for installation - worth every cent to have the highly experienced Sam come out and put the stickers up perfectly in a fraction of the time it has taken us in the past with other products. My toddler was over the moon with her new bedroom walls!

Hetepu (Peace) Family
The 20th of November marks the official death of Zumbi dos Palmares (1655-1695), the ex-slave and last leader of the Quilombo dos Palmares, who fought the Portuguese on behalf of the Maroon society in Brazil. Many people I have talked to about Zumbi asked "Why should we celebrate this event? It happened in Brazil."
Well, I use to think the same way. I changed my thinking because the 20th of November is celebrated in Brazil as Black Awareness Day and is used as a time to reflect upon the contributions made by people of African descent, as well as erase the vicious stereotypes that have been created about blacks. In the beginning, I found this to be a little odd because throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, there are a lot of stereotypical images that are held dear to people of African descent like the Mammy figure. I remember, the first time I met Mammy it was at my padrino's (my spiritual godfather's) house. She stood next to his Ellegua and he told me that she was his Ellegua's wife according to his spiritual practice. Being an African American I was a little offended by the image until I began to really learn the cultural connection.
You see, when the Africans were brought to the Americas. Many of them finding themselves in a foreign land, living as prisoners under the yoke of a racist slave owner, tried to recreate the life they knew in their homeland. But they were unable to do so because the same social system did not exist. So, the Africans had to create a new cultural model in order to survive slavery, racial discrimination and most importantly resist the propaganda directed at them that they were inferior to whites. So, having no kings and queens to turn to, the Africans turned to the wisest amongst them, which was their elders.
Contrary to popular belief, the elders in the slave community were the most beloved because they were not seen as a physical threat to the slave owners. As a result, the slave owners were more inclined to trust them versus younger slaves. But, the elders were also the most knowledgeable about the old ways of Africa. As a result, the spirit of resistance (from my research) in the slave community began with the brave men and women that worked in the slave owner's home. Afterwards, these same men and women would return to their community and teach what they had learned to help their people. The elders of slave community basically played a dual role and they taught everyone they knew how to do the same thing until conditions were more favorable for them to institute the desired change. It was from the elders religious syncretism was born, along with the whole idea of masking ones true intentions.
Now, when some whites got wind of how the slaves were living. They tried to sympathize with their plight as Harriet Beecher Stowe had done in her antislavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. What Stowe was trying to show in her book was how contradictory it was for them as Christians to enslave other Christians based upon the color of their skin.
What ended up happening was that millions of her books were sold and a number of Uncle Tom's Cabin plays were performed around the United States and the world. It was from this book that a lot of whites got the idea that slavery was not the Christian thing to do. But, the book also laid the stereotypical foundation of what the African way of life was all about. This gave rise to numerous stereotypical images and icons, that blacks were either pleased being meek, happy-go-lucky, submissive, singing servants or were brute, unruly, sex-craved animals. This stereotypical imagery of people of African descent dominated the Western world. Although, many of these images that were embraced by people who never even read Stowe's book or saw the cinematic viewing of the story, simply perpetuated the racist belief that blacks were inferior and meant to live in servitude.
Todays although many of these stereotypical images have been removed from the public's eye. They continue to rear their ugly heads in the entertainment industry and other areas because of people refusing to embrace their ancestral heritage.
African Americans were the most damaged culturally by these stereotypical images I learned because we were outnumbered by the whites in the United States, but in places like Cuba and Brazil. Where the African descendants managed to preserve the truth about who these individuals were prior to the creation of this stereotypical attack. The images did not do much to destroy their cultural psyche because they knew that this was just a war on their cultural way of life. A war that they were determined to fight to win.
This is why an analysis of all of these ancestral archetypes will reveal the same thing, which is that these individuals were very knowledgeable slaves with high virtues and integrity. Many of which became or were the leaders of the slave community. The darkness of their skin, as was in Kamit, symbolized that they were the original Africans of one's lineage. They all had white hair, indicating that they were wise.
In Brazil the so-called Uncle Tom and Mammy figures of the United States were commemorated, honored and respectfully known as the Pretos Velhos (the old black slaves'). In Cuba, they are sometimes known as Francisco and Francisca, or Jose Negro and La Madama. In Puerto Rico they are known as El Congo (the Congo) and La Negra (the Black Lady). Their respectful names in Southern African American culture are Uncle Joe or Ole' Black Joe and Auntie or Big Mamma.
By the way, the real Big Mamma was usually a cook or house servant, but she was known throughout the slave community as a midwife, herbalist and a fortune teller, that was sometimes called a Black reader or Black Gypsy. Notice the similarity with the reader below.
As you can see, the stereotypical images was a ruse by the oppressors to ridicule our cultural way of life. In these contemporary times it is not the oppressor that ridicules our culture, but our own out of disgrace, ignorance and shame of who and where we come from.
e now, but our selves out of disgrace and ignorance of our own culture.
So you see, this is why Zumbi should be important to people throughout the Americas (and others like him such as Gaspar Yanga), because he is the epitome of what our ancestors did in order for us to live today.
By celebrating the life of Zumbi and others that resisted in their own way. We not only honor them but erase negative imagery created to ridicule our cultural way of life and show the true power of why our culture is so beautiful.
Celebrate the Day of Resistance by watching the movie Quilombo and Sankofa.
Hope that helps,
Derric "Rau Khu" Moore
* P.S. Please note that I am not against Martin Lawrence, Tyler Perry or any entertainer that makes films. It is just important for people to realize the impact that negative images such as these has upon the rest of the people in the diaspora.
