No Ceasefire, My Son, Finish the Job!
Dear Son,
It was good speaking with you and hearing that you are in excellent spirits. Please call home from time to time when you can. And try to fill your free time with Torah learning. We are told that Joshua was reprimanded by the angel in charge of the armies of Israel for neglecting to study Torah during breaks in the battle. We are the Nation of the "Safra and Sefer,' the Sword and the Book. When we engage in battle, we give 100% to the fight. But whenever we have free time, the obligation to meditate on the Torah day and night returns in full measure. I know, it isn't easy in your present situation, not knowing when the order to enter Gaza will come, but Torah study is as important as cleaning your rifle and making sure that your machsaniot are all loaded with bullets.
For the meantime, I will try to send you a Torah thought each day. I noticed an abridged "easy reader" copy of 'Robinson Caruso" in your room, and remembered you saying that you wanted to improve your skills in English, so I'll write these letters in English, and that way you can learn Torah and improve your English at the same time.
If you have access to a radio, I'm sure you are hearing a lot of talk about the supreme effort of the Israeli Air Force not to injure "innocent civilians." You already know what I think about that. We are not engaged in a match of badminton. This is war. The Hamas isn't merely a handful of terrorists. Gaza is a terrorist state. The people living there identify with Hamas and with its constantly vocalized oath to destroy Israel. They "voted" Hamas into power. Hamas and all of the citizens of Gaza seek our annihilation. This is a war of state against state.
But let me remind you of another interesting point. This past year, the government of Syria has slaughtered 50,000 truly innocent civilians. Does the world give a damn? No. Has anyone seriously ordered Assad to stop? No. The world, even the Arab world itself, really doesn't care that tens of thousands of innocent Arab civilians are being slaughtered in Syria. But when Israel kills a few "innocent" Palestinians bystanders in Gaza who were watching terrorists fire a missile toward your grandparents in Ashkelon, then all of the world in cries out unison, from the U.S. State Department, to the United Nations, and the leaders of Russia, England, and France.
Suddenly filled with compassion for the innocent Arab victims, they all immediately hold emergency press conferences, and warn Israel not to escalate the conflict by daring send in ground troops in Gaza to uproot the terror, lest there be more civilian casualties. What hypocrisy! Are the Arabs in Gaza any different from the Arabs in Syria? Why is the world silent when Assad kills 50,000 innocent civilians, and suddenly aghast in a hysterical uproar when Israel kills a handful of "innocents" who just happened to be hanging around a rocket launcher?
Their double standard is so opaque! So now, my boy, I want to let you in on a secret that I want you to pass on to all the guys in your platoon. What's the real reason that the Egyptians, and the British, and President Barak Hussein Obama don't want our troops to go into Gaza and finish the job of erasing this evil incarnate from the world? It isn't because they suddenly love innocent Arabs, believe me.
The answer lies in the Torah portion we read on Shabbat. Already in Rivka's womb, Esav was trying to kill Yaacov. As Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai has ruled, the halachah is that Esav hates Yaacov. To further its own interests, America is willing to back us, up to a point. But to let us go all out and destroy Hamas completely, once and for all – "No no no no no!" they shout. Stop! Suddenly they, and everyone else, are worried about "innocent civilians."
Yes, my precious, son, you are fighting to stop the missile fire on our country and to protect fellow Jews. But, as I have previously written, you are fighting for something much more. You are a soldier in the army of Hashem, fighting against the darkness and evil in the world which seeks to snuff out God's light. The nations of Esav and Ishmael know who we are. They know that Israel is God's Chosen Nation, endowed with the Divine task of bringing the truth of God's Kingship to the world.Tzvi Fishman

The decision to launch a full scale ground invasion, with a possible eventual re-occupation, is a difficult one. Many IDF lives will be lost in the process. I will not second guess Barak and Netanyahu on this one. If they go forward with such I will support it; if they decide not to I will support that as well.
In the mean time, please sign the petition in support of Israel on the White House internet site, and spread the word.
There are multiple anti-Israel petitions on the White House web site now; we need to respond in a big way to show that Israel has support!
I agree with you Charilie. There are tough decisions to be made. The people who were elected to make these decisions have more information than the man on the street. I pray that God will help them to make the right decision.
Great letter. Copied, pasted and saved.
The only way to end the rockets is to end the terrorists.
"Hear O Israel, the Lord is God, the Lord is One!" I must hasten to say "What is written is written!" Alleluia!
Lets finish the job so there wont be any more missiles left, and at the same time be careful not to harm the Palestinian civilians. as the fight is not with the people but with the terrorist who have imprisoned them.
I tried signing the petition. So far this site is not very user friendly and does not recognize my password. I will try again. Is there another place to have a similar petition?
I agree with you. I would think that there would be different Rabbinic views as to the innocence of the Gaza residents.
In any case, Israel cannot apply Torah laws of war circa 2000 B.C.E. with today's World Order that dictates Israel's restraint.
1400 years of history tells us that Muslims will continue their wars of plunder and slavery until there are no Muslims left.
Make it so!
The pillar of cloud that is raining destruction on Gaza may be followed by a pillar of fire that will be raining destruction on Israel. Then the night will fall over the whole world. Who has taken the sword will perish by the sword.
I would protect my native country against any invader.
What god is on Israel's side? The God of love or the one of destruction?
why bother about international reaction…lets face it…we, jews have never been very popular because many out there envy us…after all we are the G-d chosen people in the Promised Land. they want us out of there or dead…so I say…kill them all and let the L-rd sort them out, as an old bumper sticker used to say. long live israel!
To Bonne. The God of Love for the TZADIKIM and destruction for RESHAIM. Study your Bible and love and support Isarel.
Bonne A. Rook ; the God of the Jews. The Holy Land is God's land and He will judge those giving it away or selling it.
It's time to beat the bullies into submission. It's time to make them stop hurting you, your famlies and freinds. It's time to quit listening to everyone else and do what you know to be right for you and yours. I have been waiting for you to quit letting these people walk on you…Israel…kick some butt and don't worry about taking names.
Amen. I know tthis is an open letter to the world. However, it brings to mind Desert Shield and Desert Storm. My son was 82nd Airborne and wth the first troops sent. My words were very similar. Do the job and come home. Satan is indeed angry because Israel is again a nation. Which means his time is short. And if the American government won't stand firm with Israel, at least American Christians should. Jesus said those who believe in Him are ADOPTED into the Jewish Nation. Adopted, not replacing the. The Jews are the root of the tree. As our adopted family, we should stand shoulder to shoulder with them. But that's ok if you don't believe. What other explanation do you have for the survival of the Jews? God will not let them loose their Nation again. And if he is fighting for them, only a fool will fight against them! It's all in the Bible. Check it out!
I guess all the Hamas rockets don't qualify as swords in your book. Perhaps you consider them mere thumbtacks or push pins?
I belong to the lost house of Israel in México we are million awaking discovering our roots, we support our ajim in Israel and believe in the only Elohim (YAHWHE is his name) Shalom U Brajot……
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, was He only the God of the Jews? Was Abraham a Jew? Was Isaac a Jew? Was Jacob a Jew? I am not a Jew. But Abraham was my father as well as Isaac and Jacob, and the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob is also my God. And the Holy Land has been a heritage for only a mere 10 percent for the Jews, descending from Judah. And I will claim my promised posession. And that is in the Galil. And no Jew has the right to stop me in kicking them out in the land promised to Zebulon and Issachar.
Jews must be courageous as they alfready are. The hell with the world .Israel should do what is right and pulverize gaza and take it back into israel.
Bonne A. Rook – What are you implying with the word kicking? Bombing? Bombing them out? We all have to live some place. I wish they can lay down their hatred for each other and forgive each other. The Bible tells everyone to love their neighbors as them selves doesn't it? With that in mind then they should share giving each person a place to peacefully live.
Take care of business, those you send to hell deserve it and never look back. War is war, fight it and remember that they will kill you andoffer no surrender. We have your back Israel dispite the Muslim bitch Obama who is lower than a turd in the bottom Marianias Trench. Bless Israel and her forces!
Israel needs to finish the job! Hamas is just going to do a Hudna and strike again!
Charlie, I agree with you and signed the petition and forwarded it on to my friends. I too will support Barak and Netanyahu but right now prefer to continue with air and missle strikes as ground assult would lead to some Israeli deaths and that is something we do not want.
Amen to that. Good letter.
There seems to be a misunderstanding. I know who God is. I know God's promise to Abraham, and again to Issac and Jacob (whose name changed to Israel). The land will be inhabited by God's chosen people; flesh & blood human who multiply and live a very long lives. Every born again person is considered spiritual descendents of Abraham. Please explain your offense taken about my comment. I'm in the dark. Perhaps it has to do with those still alive at Jesus' second coming who (in my understanding) remain on earth, not receiving glorified bodies. But I haven't looked deeply into this aspect, because I expect to be 'caught up' meeting Jesus in the air to be with Him forever.
Gaza residents elected Hamas to govern them. Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organization, so Gaza is a de facto terrorist state in a declared war with Israel and the United States, all Christians and non-Muslims worldwide.
Hamas, who places rocket launchers in and near residences, schools, hospitals, etc. gain propaganda value from the deaths of their citizens in front of cameras; deliberate human sacrifice (as with human bombs killing non-combatants. Hamas is responsible for the deaths of Gaza citizens, by using them as human shields for publicity. Israel is not responsible for those casualities. Israel is not carpet-bombing or fire-bombing all of Gaza, as was done in WW-II Germany. Warfare is barbaric, bloody; not neat and clean. Hamas has a history of acts of war against Israel, yet much of world opinion is against Israel defending its citizens, doing its duty. Israel will never overcome anti-Jewish bigotry, and should close eyes and ears to it. Protect your citizens by removing the threat by use of overwhelming force, quickly. But it will be bloody.
Until Obama, the U.S. policy was to find and kill terrorist and neutralize terrorist states. Obama has a demonstrated affinity for Muslims and Islam by his own admission (a conflict of allegiance and of consciences; that's dangerous). He has insulted and suppressed Christianity and elevated Islam in the U.S. He does not have the will to prosecute war on Radical Islamist for he identifies with the Islam culture and values. He demonstrated overt sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood before and after his taking office; and the Brotherhood frequents the White House. He doesn't participate in Christian oriented events but does participate in Muslim holiday events, such as Romdam recently.
Anyway, the area that is now Israel was a desert, a waste land, nothing growing or living there. After the desert began to flourish and Israeli statehood seemed likely, Arab nations sent Arabs flooding into the area to attempt to stake a claim and also to find employment working for Jews. Unemployment was very high and living standards was poor. The Arab migration was a clandestine effort to claim the land.
There is no possibility of a 2-state solution. There will never be peace until the second coming of Jesus. To believe otherwise is ignorance of history.
Take it to the full conclusion so they will not fire rockets into peaceful Israeli cities again.This is a terrorist government in Gaza elected by their people to terrorize Israel.STRIP GAZA OF TERRORIST once and for all and bring light to the world.Civilians in Gaza are also responsible for the misery they brought upon themselves having elected a TERRORIST GOVERNMENT.They should focus on building Gaza so their economy will improve instead of wanting war and look to Israel as an example of how progress can be achieved.
So many Iran long range rockets coming in Gaza and hundreds being fired at Israel.I suspect this new government in Egypt have an arrangement with Iran to receive and send it on to Gaza.They are supposed to have a peace treaty with Israel? Expose Egypt to the world who pretends to be peace broker!
Hezbollah knows better now not to interfere and fire rockets at Israel after the retribution.Hopefully after this war that the Gaza Terrorist will learn to live peacefully.
Why is the Arab Countries keeping so quiet about the 50000 people killed in Syria? The world should turn their attention to Syria.The world should be pleased at what Israel is trying to achieve for the region.Israel militayr send sms messages to minimize civilian casualties and considers civilians unlike the Terrorist cowards who terrorize their own citizens and Israel.Those who are Pro Terrorist Gaza Government are either evil or losers.G_D Bless Israel Now And Forever.Pray the region will be peaceful soon.
OBVIOUSLY it is NOT AL ALL a military decision. IT IS ONLY A MORAL/POLITICAL DECISION. Either you want to destroy Hamas and put them out of commission, OR YOU DON'T.
So, all of you clever reasoning is worthless.
The moral/political aspect DETERMINES the military response, not vice-versa, UNLESS YOU ARE A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP.
ANY decision that will allow a TERRORIST ENTITY to survive more or less like before and allow the repetition of the same story, but with better rockets and missiles down the road, is NOT A JEWISH DECISION.
So, IT SHOULD NOT AT ALL BE ONLY IN THE HANDS OF THE CHICKEN- EUROPEAN (Ashkenazi) ELITES GOVERNING THE COUNTRY, THE SAME WHO BROUGHT ISRAEL TO THIS POINT BY RELINQUISHING OUR HERITAGE (Land & Torah, both EQUALLY "Morashà").
I feel like throwing-up reading this TYPICAL Xtian fundamentalist DELIRIUM TREMENS which shows an OBVIOUS IGNORANCE OF THE REAL TEXT OF THE BIBLE, and knowledge ONLY of wrong and manipulative translations and of the antisemitic ghospels.
The SMELL OF STAKES AND BURNING JEWS coming out of such idiotic words IS TOO STTRONG TO BEAR!
I would start by NOT TRESPASSING ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!!!
לֹא תִשָּׂא אֶת שֵׁם ה' אֱלֹהֶיךָ לַשָּׁוְא, כִּי לֹא יְנַקֶּה ה' אֵת אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׂא אֶת שְׁמוֹ לַשָּׁוְא.
Every word a pearl.
Bonne A. Rook: the words you say are the staple of antisemitism. YOU DENY EVERYTHING JUDAISM IS. Your kind burnt mine, at the stake or otherwise, for 2000 years already EXACTLY ON THOSE B.S. PREMISES: by claiming we have no heritage, by claiming THEY allegedly would be Israel.
Yours, conscious or otherwise, is ANTISEMITISM NETTO.
The reason they (the United Nations of Darkness) want you (Israel) to stop (from Invading Gaza Strip and crashing Hamas) is because they don't want the great light of Israel to shine in the world. They don't want God in the world. They want to continue on with their world domination, with their global exploitation, with their greediness, adultery, and lip service to God.
Bonne A. Rook: Israel invaded Palestinians native country. therefore this invasion and israel terror has to be stopped. its time for nato to step in and to stop israels aggressions.
there is no god of the jews. there was never the god of the jews. its nothing but human invention and fairytale. insted of terrorising other countries in the name of god and invading even this country and calling it israel, u people should realize that ur just guests on palestinian soil. it does not belong to u .
3000 years of history shows nothing but terror and invasion and war and torture, by a group of jewish people who think they are the chosen once. for this terror this part of the world was destroyed by romans 2000 years ago. since then israel does not exist anymore. palestinians will stop fighting, when they get their land back.
apfelkuchen225 are u crazy there never was a paestinian state they all come from jordan nobody wants them let them all live with you
Bonne A. Rook you musty be a moron or a jackass
As a Jew, I was shocked by this article promoting the annihilation of all of Gaza. I would hate to see us turn into the kind of monsters who would annihilate almost 2 million civilians.
Hamas are the enemy of our people and we must protect Israel against them, but dehumanizing millions of people into a giant shapeless enemy that must be annihilated is exactly the kind of evil that was done to us. Other countries have toppled an enemy that hates it before. When Japan was taken over, their army was the same kind of vicious thugs, their army told them the same kind of lies. When the US arrived, the civilians honestly believed that they would all be massacred.
But it turns out when you realize that your enemy is full of human faces, it's a lot harder to hate them. The people of Gaza will find out soon enough that we are not monsters… although after seeing an article where we call for the murder of every single one of them, I think perhaps some of us need to look in a mirror too.
Jean Pierre Katz agreed 100%. we have free will and knowledge, so that we can learn from history and make positive progress.
g'd forbid we presume that almost 2m ppl are evil and we turn into genocidal maniacs like this article suggests; that is certainly not my Judaism.
it's 2012 now. you can't hold every single Muslim accountable for the actions of the past. really, a lot of human beings have done bad things in the last 1400 years. how disappointing that any fellow Jew could promote genocide.
funnily enough, when i spend time with my Malay friends they are wonderful, warm people who are interested in Judaism and would never hurt a fly. do you wish them dead as well? obviously Thou Shalt Not Kill missed you right by
Heshy R we don't have an option but to protect ourselves from violence in kind, but we don't have to be genocidal jerks like the writer of this letter suggested
Thank you for your kind words. You are accusing me of being of a certain kind. You are accusing me of burning your kind at the stake or otherwise. This type of words is always a reaction on the truth. I am a Semite. How can I be antisemite? The Askenazi "Jews" are no descendants of Sem or Judah. They are from Japhet. How can I be antisemitic against them? How do I deny Judaism? It has been written in the Holy Writ, that there are people that call themselves Jews, but are not, and they are lying, as they are from the synagogue of satan, who is the father of all lies?
I am not impressed by your calling me an antisemite. It is well known, that this is a last resort of getting away with the evil things that have been committed by the "semites" against other people when they are asked for accountability.
I consider your words as slander.
Paul Mullins
Well, Paul, it is rather complicated to explain my reaction.
The real seed of Abraham will inherit the promised land. And what is moreover: Jesus will take up his position as King of kings and bring his people to the promised land, that is his kingdom. The state of Israel has not been established by Christ, but by his antitype. When you see this truth, the whole history will be changed and the future understandable. From that other viewpoint, the zionists are working counterproductive to Gods kingdom, as formerly Nimrod was. Therefore I cannot accept any excuse for there expansion dift.
Sheila Demus
You are absolutely right. We all have to love our neighbours. The Bible tells us even to love our enemies. However, if the enemy is not behaving himself properly and is stealing land, you have the duty to teach him a lesson: Kick him in his ass, so that he will leave the stolen property. Then you are showing him more love than condoning his theft.
Shakespeare, Hamlet: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
You are a victim of propaganda, I am afraid.
Germany was firebombed in WWII: Hamburg and Dresden, just to mention a few, with almost half a million deaths.
Please remember the Stern Gang with Deir Yassin and the King David Hotel.
Very good article. They are playing games. Unfortunately a lot of people get sucked in by the lies of these people.
Bonne – The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a God of love but also a God of justice who made an everlasting covenant with Abraham and his seed. God is not a man that He should lie. He is presented as a God of love only these days, but His laws remain and He will always be a just God. He will always keep His word whether we like it or not.
Don't forget that there was no israil it was forcfully taken from innocent palistinians who give them land to live n most of the things that r happening has been said by our prophet and also that the fake god.s the elite most jews worship will be killed in from of the most in jurusalam so make ur self happy now but it wont last long oh n for the jews that still think m wrong watch this video by ur own jews http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCKWDarNdGw&feature=share
it makes me laught when the jews claim israil is ders dumb s dont realise that there was no israil research ur own history instead of listening to ur dads just like this one
Rabbi Akiva, Ethics of the Fathers 3:14: Silence is a fence for wisdom.
Claire – Yes, how true what you have written. Amen. God will fullfill His promises to the people He has promised. Not to imposters. Who are the true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? And that is the question, and if properly answered, the world will become totally different.
I am trying to analyse your alias name: Are you the son of the high priest in the morning sun?
If you had a dagger or a gun, and you met me, what would you do? I am afraid, you are so hate filled, that………..
The Torah is a piece of crap but it does not demand that Jews conquer, convert, enslave, and murder all who do not believe in Judaism. The Qur'an does require all Muslims conquer, convert, enslave and murder all who refuse to surrender to the insanity of Islam. Rabbi's, Popes, priests, preachers, and other psychotics are despicable people. None of them has as a core requirement that they inflict horrible pain; lie, cheat, steal, plunder and murder others in the name of their made up gods and psychopathic, mass murdering; serial rapist nut of a prophet, Muhammad… only Islam has this requirement to avoid Judeo/Islamic hell. I want all Muslims out of my country!

Edwards, CSEA plan negotiations, differ on IGT funding
MAYVILLE – Although the CSEA would like the promise of Intergovernmental Transfer funds before it begins negotiations on the County Home, County Executive Greg Edwards has other plans in mind.
CSEA issued a press release last week, stating that it is committed to negotiate separately for nursing home workers following the County Legislature's vote not to sell the County Home.
In the release, which was published in Saturday's OBSERVER, it was proposed that nursing home workers remain members of CSEA Chautauqua County Unit 6300, but a separate section of the contract include articles specific only to County Home employees. It also said that the union's request to negotiate remains contingent on the full funding of the County Home, including IGT funds and the implementation of other CGR report measures.
Edwards said he is currently working through the mandatory process of negotiations for all 934 CSEA employees.
He said he is fine with the County Home employees negotiating separately; however, he cannot guarantee that the home will continue to be funded by IGT money.
"That is something I cannot commit the people of Chautauqua County to. That's like sentencing the taxpayers of Chautauqua County to spending more than $3 million of taxpayer dollars," Edwards said. "That is asking me to guarantee a $3.3 million taxpayer subsidy to keep 250 government jobs. I just cannot commit to that. I will be glad to negotiate. I will be glad to find ways to work on reducing the cost to the taxpayers so that we are not using tax dollars to fund jobs that could be done in the private sector at no taxpayer exposure. But, I cannot condition negotiations on spending over $3 million of taxpayer dollars."
Edwards will continue discussions with CSEA until negotiations are complete.

I thought it was pretty good for a first run... Zack is likeable, and I think it was great to have it be sort of a consumer-based review as opposed to a professional tasting or an Adagio staff member's perspective.
For the future, I'd love to see more than one tea per review, especially if there is a good tea series... or a comparison of a couple of teas by different creators which follow a similar theme... like 2 different Coconut Chai blends, where Zack could say... This one leans more strongly to the coconut side, while the other has a subtle coconut taste with a more prominent cinnamon and cardamom flavor and aroma. I know you're not out to diss anyone's signature blends, but a comparison could point out the highlights of 2 similar teas, and help a buyer decide which one most closely matches the flavor they are looking for. If Zack could deliver a coupon code word in the podcast to give a discount for the reviewed tea(s) to listeners, I think that would be a great promo and would encourage more regular listeners.

Well, since it isn't technically "C-Town Sports" anymore, I think a name change to "The Cleveland Fan Baseball Alliance" is definitely in order.
Looking forward to another year, and it is good to see some new blood coming into the league to take over for those who don't have the time anymore.
Also interesting to see some deals being made already. The trade wire has tended to be pretty slow around this league, but seeing VMart getting dealt for a couple of youngsters is definitely a start. Pup just better hope Lincecum is all that he's been advertised to be!
I figured there should be a thread here to limit the messages on the SportsLine board.
Best of luck to everyone in '08, keep shooting for second place!
'07 and '05 Champ

Registration now open for annual String Experience
SUNY Fredonia School of Music announces its annual String Experience on Nov. 17 (early registration deadline: Oct. 31).
String Experience is a seminar for high school violinists, violists, cellists and bassists that brings you in contact with Fredonia's conservatory-trained string faculty, including David Colwell and Maureen Yuen (violin), David Rose (viola), Erin Ellis (cello sabbatical replacement for Natasha Farny), Harry Jacobson (bass), and David Rudge (Director of Orchestras).
The String Experience exemplifies the unique one-on-one relationship that is fostered between students and teachers at Fredonia. Young musicians will be given the chance to improve performance and practice techniques, interact with other string players, and attend a recital with our distinguished faculty artists.
String players will work in small sessions, developing performance skills, working on issues of stage fright and the audition process, improving technical skills such as shifting, intonation, tone production, and more. The atmosphere is designed to be a fun, supportive learning environment for students, but teachers and parents are also encouraged to attend (parents and teachers are invited to attend at no charge). Registration includes a full day of activities and lunch on campus.
"The String Experience is a wonderful opportunity to be inspired by the faculty from the School of Music and our guest artists, as well as hearing the playing accomplishments of some of your peers in the masterclasses," said bass professor Harry Jacobson. " It is a great day of immersion in music."
A highlight of this year's event will be a session on string techniques and a reading session with special guest Dr. Michael Klinghoffer. Klinghoffer, a double bass performer, conductor and educator, studied under Gary Karr at Yale University, where he received his master of music and at the Hartt School University of Hartford, where he received his doctor of musical arts. He has been assistant principal bass player in the Israel Symphony Orchestra and in the Israel Sinfonietta. Currently, he performs solo concerts, recitals and chamber music and conducts master classes in Israel and abroad. His repertoire ranges from contemporary Israel music, (much of it composed for him), to his own arrangements for double bass, which have been published in the U.S. and in Europe and recorded on two compact discs.
He has published articles on Music Education and on Pedagogy in Israel professional periodicals as well as in the U.S. "Music Education in Institutions of Non Formal Education" was published by MATAN in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Education. Since 1987, he has been on the faculty of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, conducting orchestras, teaching the double bass and other subjects. He was the Head of the String Department, the Dean of Students and he is currently serving as the Dean of Performing Arts and is the Director of the Jerusalem Conservatory Chamber Orchestra.
There will also be workshops in free improvisation, and a chamber music reading and coaching session earlier in the afternoon. The concerts will feature Fredonia's distinguished faculty members performing an interesting array of chamber works with special guest soloists, including Dr. Klinghoffer, Fredonia string students and alumni.

Survey finds less cheating in high schools
(RNS) Are American students making the grade when it comes to ethics? A new survey from the Josephson Institute of Ethics finds that the portion of high school students who admit to cheating, lying or stealing dropped in 2012 for the first time in a decade. By Cathy Payne / USA Today.

For various reasons, fewer of them are coming out for the sport.
By IZZY GOULD
Published May 8, 2007
Samantha Dyal watches most innings through the dugout fence.
The Pasco freshman gave nine years to youth softball and was one of 18 girls to make the varsity team. But her best moments are usually played out at practice.
Dyal's season could have been different - she would have likely been a starter if Pasco High - which plays Wednesday in the Class 4A final four - had been able to field a junior varsity team.
"I really wanted to play so it's kind of disappointing just a little bit, " Dyal said. "I know a lot of girls that could have come out and helped us make a JV team, but they didn't come out."
And they aren't coming out at schools across Pasco and Hernando counties. Of the 14 varsity softball teams that fielded JV teams in 2006, only seven were able to in 2007. There simply weren't enough girls to fill rosters.
No one knows if this is a trend signaling a decline in female participation, but some school officials have reported drops in the number of girls playing in youth leagues.
Coaches have theories on the decline, while advocates for women's sports warn critics to inspect the system before sounding the alarm. Still, some worry JV softball here could simply disappear.
"It could happen, " Zephyrhills athletic director and softball coach Craig Milburn said. "I think this next year is going to play a big role in the decision of what we're Zephyrhills is going to do."
Participation has gone down each year
Lack of interest, poor academics, discipline issues, injuries and financial hardships were all cited as reasons for drops in participation, which affected all types of teams.
Dyal said she has plenty of friends who choose other activities.
"(The older girls are) too into hanging out with all of their friends doing lazy stuff like watching TV, " Dyal said. "Softball consumes a lot of my time."
Gulf High coach Rick Hohenthaner almost pulled his JV team after just 25 girls tried out for softball this year - compared with 55 girls three years ago.
Hohenthaner said he saw warnings when West Pasco Little League dropped four of its eight teams in the late 1990s.
"The numbers (this season) seemed like they were lower than in any other time, " Hohenthaner said. "When five of your 10 (public) schools don't carry a JV program that's pretty scary."
Pasco County is wrestling with a shifting population growth, which led to the construction of three high schools in three years.
That creates problems in other ways, though.
Wesley Chapel lost a chunk of its players to first-year neighbor Wiregrass Ranch, leaving both programs without JV teams. Some think the same will happen to Land O'Lakes' when Sunlake opens in August.
Zephyrhills also saw a decline in participation, ending its season with 16 varsity players after having a combined 26 the year before.
Nature Coast athletic director Jason Montgomery said the Sharks varsity finished the season with 13 kids only after they found more athletes to fill in for injured players.
Even former Central athletic director John Sedlack felt the pinch last year before accepting his new post at River Ridge.
"The numbers were dwindling year by year, " Sedlack said. "The last two years we had 11 or 12 girls on the (varsity)."
Specialization in sports, crossover in seasons and poor promotion at youth levels were other reasons blamed for a decline.
There are other options for girls, including several travel teams and various Little League and Dixie League teams throughout the area. Some girls prefer to stick it out on a varsity team even if it means riding the bench.
Hudson coach Crissy Cooper thinks the seasons she went without a JV team could hurt her down the road.
"The couple of years we didn't have the JV program the girls that got cut from varsity didn't have the experience, " Cooper said. "I kept more last year than I did this year. Some of those girls didn't get to play. When you see potential you don't want to let them go."
The same was true at River Ridge.
"I have three kids that would have been catching, throwing and fielding rather than sitting on my bench, " River Ridge coach Ernie Beck said.
"But you've got to have the numbers. I think JV serves a purpose. It's for training and bringing the kids along."
All feel impact of fewer players
Fewer JV teams also mean a smaller pool of opponents.
"We were scrambling to get games, " Land O'Lakes athletic director Chuck Moehle said.
JV programs are sometimes forced to shorten a 12-game schedule, leading to long breaks. Gulf's JV had one stretch with three weeks between games and managed to finish with 11 games after adding an out-of-area tournament.
"We would have fallen to eight without that tournament, " Hohenthaner said. "We had to go with a schedule that was exciting and aggravating."
Number of players may be rebounding
Dr. Marj Snyder, who is the chief program officer for the Women's Sports Foundation warns not to assume girls are no longer interested in softball.
She first wonders about adequate feeder systems.
There are several youth leagues in both counties, and a new league opening in Wesley Chapel.
Teams in Hudson Little League have always struggled with participation. Tom Deed, a board member of the West Pasco Little League said the decline of girls in the 1990s appears to be reversing.
"We had an absence of coaches for three or four years, " Deed said. "It's starting to rebound. We had a stronger turnout this year. I think it's going to start picking up."
Dade City Little League president Chris Webb, who also coaches Wiregrass Ranch, said participation has dropped from 700 kids in 2004-05 to a little more than 500 last year. She expects that number to dip below 500 this year.
Webb said the league thrived in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
"Then there was a decline, " she said. "Travel ball came on the horizon and travel ball has increased their enrollment in the last seven years. We were having to bump up against them. It's tough to do because that's where the college coaches are going."
Webb, who has been affiliated with the DCLL for 29 years, also noticed a move to specialization in sports.
"Some of my softball kids are going to basketball camps, " Webb said. "Some of them won't be out. It used to be we were the only game in town, it's just not that way anymore. Dade City has really seen a decline."
Still, no one thinks JV softball will go missing any time soon. Some coaches point to areas of hope in both counties.
Wesley Chapel athletic director Steve Mumaw said he's optimistic a newly formed Wesley Chapel Little League in his will draw in more girls at an early age.
"As coaches we can get out there and beat the bushes so to speak, " Webb said. "We can make it more attractive to come out and play. You have to go out and talk to them."
Hohenthaner networks through the youth leagues and thinks he could add as many as 25 players during the next three seasons. He also thinks Mitchell, River Ridge and Gulf should be in good shape.
"I don't see my numbers dropping, if anything going up slightly, " Hohenthaner said.

For the past year, Danish filmmaker Phie Ambo has been trailing neuroscientist Richard Davidson at his lab in Madison, Wisconsin. Best known for studying the brains of Tibetan Buddhist monks, Davidson's research has shown that meditation can literally change the brain.
He's the featured guest in our show titled "Investigating Healthy Minds." While producing it, we were looking for sound that would illustrate some of his point and discovered Ambo's documentary, Free the Mind, contained a few audio clips that would help bring Dr. Davidson's work to life.
In 2010, Ambo set out with her family from Denmark to document Davidson's newest research with pre-school children and war veterans. We emailed her to learn more about her film, and her motivations for making it.
You live in Denmark. Richard Davidson is based in Wisconsin. How did you first learn about him and his research? How did you connect?
I met Richard Davidson for the first time in 2009 when he was in Massachusetts for a conference on mindfulness. I was there to look for a scientist who would be a good main character for my film, so I sat through four days of talks given by different experts in the field, and I immediately knew that Richie would make a great character when I saw him on stage. He is a very playful and curious scientist, and it's easy to tell that he is very visionary.
What inspired you to make a film about him? How and why is Richard Davidson's work personally meaningful to you?
The reason why I wanted to make a film on Richie's work is that he is personally invested in his research. He is a meditator himself, which to me makes him interesting as a researcher on a very deep level.
Richie knows that meditation works for him, but he really wants to know how and why it works. He has his own bodily experience with meditation, which I believe gives him the tools to ask the relevant questions on a scientific level. To me it's also crucial that Richie works with rigorous scientific methods and that he also publishes studies that show that meditation does not work for everyone. This makes him reliable and trustworthy to me.
Another good trait in Richie is that he is not afraid to ask some of the questions that may not be popular in meditation research like: How many of the people who take a mindfulness class actually stick to the training one year or 10 years later?
Do you have a meditation practice? If so, what kind of practice do you do? How has meditation shaped your own life (and brain)?
About six years ago I suddenly started to have panic attacks and it was very scary and disturbing. I went to my doctor and she wanted to medicate me, but I had a strong feeling that medication was not the right treatment for me. I felt that I had to find a way to work my way through this crisis with all my senses open, not closed.
By coincidence I heard about mindfulness meditation and I took an eight-week course in Copenhagen. It helped me a lot to just accept things as they were and not try to shove down all the uncomfortable emotions. But I also felt very strongly that something was physically changing in my brain as I practiced. I got very curious about what was actually happening to me on a scientific level, so I decided to look into this through my work as a filmmaker.
I still meditate every day. I practice different kinds of meditation -– lovingkindness, open awareness, body scan, and sound meditations. It's funny because in my work as a documentary filmmaker I often struggle with accepting reality as it is; I can't control what happens when I shoot and this is both the best and worst about working with reality. But the way I see it, meditation is very much about being in the present moment and experiencing it fully without wanting to change it -– and this is really helpful to remember in my job. In many ways my meditation practice helps me to stay open towards any changes that may occur during shooting and just go with whatever happens.
You traveled inside this emerging world of contemplative neuroscience during the filming process. How did your understanding of contemplative neuroscience deepen or change?
In the beginning of my research process, it was very important to me that the meditation form being studied was mindfulness, so I was a bit thrown off when I found out that one of the experiments that I was following for the film had changed into being about a specific breathing technique and yoga, which was not Buddhist based.
This was an experiment with vets who suffer from PTSD and they go through a seven-day workshop. I was worried that just sitting down breathing would be too subtle to make interesting cinematic scenes with the vets, but it turned out that the breathing activated all kinds of emotions that came out during the workshop. This made the study very suitable for the documentary film, and I realized that the contemplative practices all stand on a pretty similar ground so they produce some of the same effects too. It' not so important whether it's Buddhist or not.
Tell us a little bit about the filming process. How long did you document Richard Davidson and his research? What aspects of his research did you look at? What's the story you're trying to tell?
I went to Madison three times to prepare for the shooting and make sure that we were all on the same page and then I brought my husband and two kids for six weeks in the fall of 2010 where I did almost all of the scenes for the film. I was in India briefly with Richie to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama and then back again in Madison in the spring of 2011 to do the very last scenes for the film.
I had decided to make a film that would appeal to a wide audience because I think it's important for everyone to know about these alternative ways to work with our health. I think that a lot of people get turned off if they feel that this film is too academic for them so I chose to make it a case-based story where we follow three characters that go through studies set in Richie's lab.
Two of them are vets and one is a five-year-old child. What I really like about the studies that these two extremely different groups go through is that they are very similar; they all learn to concentrate and become more aware of themselves and their surroundings. So the story that I would like to tell is that essentially all human beings are alike even though we seem very different on the surface. We are all just trying to achieve happiness. The good news is that we can work intentionally towards that goal because our brains are plastic and we have the potential to change all through life.
What did you see on the ground while filming that made a lasting impression on you? Is there a particular story or experience that stands out?
I really like some of the more poetic moments in the film. One of the vets sits in his own thoughts halfway through the workshop and then he says, "I've just come to the realization that I haven't really lived since I've been back. I've just been kind of here." This guy has stopped making plans for his life, but at the end of the workshop he starts to talk about running a marathon!
Another moving moment is when a vet says that he used to be a kid who was smiling all the time for no reason and now he's grown cynical and closed off and he never smiles. At the end of the workshop, he has a smile on his face during a meditation.
The little kid in the film, Will, also has a wonderful scene in the film when during class the kids are talking about how to make a plant grow. The other kids say "sun, soil, and water" but Will says "love" in a clear voice "because if you don't love it, it won't grow!" These are all little steps that the characters take on their journey that I feel incredibly privileged to be witnessing through my camera.
Free the Mind is slated for release in the spring of 2012.

Oh yes, Mistress and Maid, not overly keen on that one either!
I really like Golden Earth Girl, I know the lyrics are a bit cringy, but that melody! Also near the beginning when the bass kicks in on "moonlight in the air" (is that the right lyric?), it sounds great. Essentially it's obviously a rehash of Warm And Beautiful, but of course, as Paul would testify, there's nothing wrong a bit of (re)hash now and again

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 101 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by FlatTire Great support & pain reduction I've had a mild strain in my groin/adductor soft about 2 years. Time off hasn't helped. I've been able to work through it and continue to perform deep squats but it's gotten worse in the last 2 weeks. Today I bought the thigh sleeve and had virtually no pain in my inner thigh like I do anytime I squat, do mountain climbers or anything like that. I've read several reviews where people complained that the sleeve slid down the leg. My sleeve stayed put through my entire workout. There is a rubbery pattern printed inside the sleeve that helps keep it from sliding especially when it's wet or sweaty. For what it's worth I would recommend to go at least 1 size down from what is specified on the package. My thigh is 23.5 inches measured 9" above the knee and I got a medium. The range for medium is 18.75 - 20.25. September 11, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tomas Good suppot and flexability Good support and easy to put on. God value for the functionality I receive. August 10, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by grittyg Sleeve slips I pulled my hamstring and needed this compression sleeve so I could continue to run. I agree with the other reviews that the sleeve does slip, I had run about 10 feet and not even sweating yet. I have a 21in thigh, bought size Large, I used a knee brace over the bottom end of the sleeve and it worked flawlessly. July 27, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by BNT Very good support... I am an elite bowler and weight trainer and this thigh support has helped me with both. For the bowling side, I am able to wear the brace through an 8-game block and the sleeve does not fall during those matches. However, it did start to slip after the cool down period, so on average it maintained to stay on for about near 4 hours even after my competitions. Later after, it starts loosening. During my weight training, the brace sticks on even through flexibility. I have not suffered any strain or pain while wearing this sleeve, not even any circulation loss. Great product and highly recommended. June 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dave Pulled hamstring I bought this to protect my hamstring while i played. it worked amazing. I was pretty scared to re-injure myself but this sleeve prevented me from a full stretch which helped keep me from pulling it again. a lot of other reviews complained about it slipping off but i had no problem make sure you get the right size and it will work great. June 17, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Willy unaccceptible Although this sleeve was tight, it would slip with each step. Useless to me. June 3, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Redman Try wetting the inside I have had this product for about 4 years. To help control sliding down my leg, I wet the inside (moist, not soaking). It does a pretty good job of keeping it in place - I compete in triathlons and it has worked well with no need to pull it up. May 19, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Beth56 Less than poor Had it on for 30 seconds when it came off. After experiencing it I read the reviews and comments about the product. I was shocked to find out that all the comments stated the same problem with the product slipping within seconds of wearing it. May 13, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by BobS Works, but Won;t Stay Put The good news is that this compression sleeve sooths and protects an aching quad muscle. That's the plus. I originally bought the medium, but it slipped down as I walked. So, I ordered the small size. It still slipped down, just not as quickly as the larger size. I walk about 30 yards and the sleeve slides down to my ankle. So, my solution so far has been to wrap a wide Ace Bandage around it, then go up around my waste with the bandage, then back around the sleeve and tighten it. That works, but I may try other methods to keep it from slipping down, such as sewing or gluing strips of something on the inside that would keep it from slipping. March 4, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by BobS Will Not stay - slips down in short distace of walking I bought it at the store and got the smallest size they had (M). It seems like the perfect fit, but it still slides down. I have a quad muscle injury and I bought this to wear while bowling. It simply will not stay up. I can walk about 30 feet and it has fallen to my ankle. Got to return it to Dick's and get something else. I read you can buy I could try what some others have tried - a product called "It Stays" which is used to hold clothing straps, etc. but that could get very expensive over time. I would like to find a product that works. February 19, 2016

Lady Horns finish 4-1 in 2012 Gracie Haught Classic
After opening the Gracie Haught Classic softball tournament 4-0, fatigue spelled the demise of the Lady Longhorn softball players as they dropped back-to-back nail-biters to fall out of contention for the invitational crown. "We were tired — fatigue got the best of us," said PHS assistant coach Kadie Tenney. The Classic, which drew 20 teams to Payson, was played March 16 and 17 on five fields at Rumsey Park and on Lady Longhorn diamond. Probably the most gut-wrenching of the two PHS defeats was a 1-0 loss to eventual tournament champion Estrella Foothills in the Lady Horns' final game of the Classic. After the two teams battled tooth and nail to a scoreless deadlock, Estrella scored the winning run in the bottom of the fifth and final inning.

HOLTSVILLE—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has selected proposals from two wind power developers for purchase of up to 50 megawatts (mw) of electricity from projects to be built in Western New York and the Finger Lakes region, as part of the state's efforts under Governor George E. Pataki to promote environmentally clean power, a more diversified mix of electric-generating facilities and reduced dependence on foreign oil.
The NYPA Trustees, meeting at the Richard M. Flynn Power Plant here Tuesday, authorized Power Authority staff to proceed with final negotiations and execution of agreements with Chautauqua Windpower, LLC, and Windfarm Prattsburgh, LLC, for them to provide wind energy for the 10-year period beginning Jan. 1, 2005.
"Wind energy potential in various parts of New York State, combined with continued improvements in the technology, support development of this renewable source of power," said Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "The benefits go well beyond improved air quality and energy security, since new wind turbine generators also mean more construction jobs and increased revenues for landowners, businesses and local governments."
In his 2003 State of the State Address, Governor Pataki proposed that New York State establish standards to ensure that at least 25 percent of the electricity purchased in the state by 2013 is generated from renewable resources such as wind power. He cited the goal of making New York one of the leading states in the country in generating "green power."
The Power Authority's purchase of 50 mw would be divided between Chautauqua Windpower and Windfarm Prattsburgh, with the total amount no more than half of the rated output of the wind power projects involved. The remainder would be sold by the two developers to private-sector customers.
The trustees' action follows NYPA staff's competitive review of bids by nine companies, submitted in response to the Authority's Request for Proposals (RFPs) last December for the wind power.
Various criteria entered into the selection of the two winning bidders. They included cost of power; economic benefits to local areas from new wind projects, e.g., additional jobs; demonstrated financial and technical ability to advance proposed projects; and environmental license considerations.
Chautauqua Windpower, a subsidiary of Jasper Energy, LLC, will be installing 34 wind turbine generators on a 1,700-acre site straddling the Towns of Westfield and Ripley in Chautauqua County, for a total generating capacity of 51 mw.
Windfarm Prattsburgh, LLC, a joint venture of UPC Wind Partners, LLC, Global Winds Harvest, Inc., and Natsource, LLC, will be installing up to 67 turbine generators on multiple sites, totaling about 2,400 acres, several miles north and west of the Town of Prattsburgh in Steuben County in the Finger Lakes region. The project will have a total capacity of up to 100 mw.
Both Chautauqua Windpower and Windfarm Prattsburgh will use 1-1/2-mw wind turbine generators whose variable-speed operation is designed to capture maximum amounts of energy and convert it to electrical power.
The two wind power projects will involve scores of new construction jobs, with the developers leasing the land for the turbine generators in rural areas from mostly local property owners. Before construction can begin, environmental assessments of the projects' potential impacts must be completed, in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
"One of the attractions of wind power and other renewable energy sources is that they keep energy dollars in the United States, instead of sending them overseas," said Chairman Ciminelli. "That strengthens the economy, as well as the diversity of available sources of power and the overall reliability of electric systems."
"Competitive cost of power received much attention in our competitive review of the wind power proposals," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, NYPA president and chief executive officer. "However, various other factors were also considered, including timely completion of planned generating projects, local land-use impacts and the extent of potential economic benefits to localities and the state. We want to be sure that the power will be available when planned and that benefits accrue to the host communities."
In 2002, the New York State Energy Planning Board approved a state energy plan recommending that NYPA competitively solicit bids for purchase of 100 mw of electric capacity from renewable energy sources.
Governor Pataki has been steering a consistent course toward increasing the state's reliance on renewable energy. In 2001, he issued Executive Order No. 111 requiring state agencies to use renewables for 10 percent of their electricity by 2005 and 20 percent by 2010.
NYPA's wind power purchases will be part of a portfolio of renewable power provided to its Southeastern New York governmental customers who are subject to the requirements of the executive order. The power may also be offered to other Authority customers who are interested in renewable energy.
The Power Authority's involvement with wind power complements its various other clean energy initiatives under the Governor's leadership, including solar power installations, landfill gas power projects and hydrogen-based fuel-cell generating facilities.
The Power Authority is the nation's largest nonfederal public power organization. Its five trustees are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate.

In Montana, Dark Money Helped Democrats Hold a Key Senate Seat
In the waning days of Montana's hotly contested Senate race, a small outfit called Montana Hunters and Anglers, launched by liberal activists, tried something drastic.It didn't buy ads supporting the incumbent Democrat, Sen. Jon Tester. Instead, it put up radio and TV commercials that urged voters to choose the third-party candidate, libertarian DanCox, describing Cox as the "real conservative" or the "true conservative."
Where did the group's money come from? Nobody knows.
The pro-Cox ads were part of a national pattern in which groups that did not disclose their donors, including social welfare nonprofits and trade associations, played a larger role than ever before in trying to sway U.S. elections. Throughout the 2012 election, ProPublica has focused on the growing importance of this so-called dark money in national and local races.
Such spending played a greater role in the Montana Senate race than almost any other. With control of the U.S. Senate potentially at stake, candidates, parties and independent groups spent more than $51 million on this contest, all to win over fewer than 500,000 voters. That's twice as much as was spent when Tester was elected in 2006.
Almost one quarter of that was dark money, donated secretly to nonprofits.
"It just seems so out of place here," said Democrat Brian Schweitzer, the governor of Montana who leaves office at the end of this year. "About one hundred dollars spent for every person who cast a vote. Pretty spectacular, huh? And most of it, we don't have any idea where it came from. Day after the election, they closed up shop and disappeared into the dark."
Political insiders say the Montana Senate race provided a particularly telling glimpse at how campaigns are run in the no-holds-barred climate created by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, giving a real-world counterpoint to the court's assertion that voters could learn all they needed to know about campaign funding from disclosure.
In many ways, Montana was a microcosm of how outside spending worked nationally, but it also points to the future. Candidates will be forced to start raising money earlier to compete in an arms race with outside groups. Voters will be bombarded with TV ads, mailers and phone calls. And then on Election Day, they will be largely left in the dark, unable to determine who's behind which message.
All told, 64 outside groups poured $21 million into the Montana Senate election, almost as much as the candidates. Party committees spent another $8.9 million on the race.
The groups started spending money a year before either candidate put up a TV ad, defining the issues and marginalizing the role of political parties. In a state where ads were cheap, they took to the airwaves. More TV commercials ran in the Montana race between June and the election than in any other Senate contest nationwide.
The Montana Senate race also shows how liberal groups have learned to play the outside money game — despite griping by Democratic officials about the influence of such organizations.
Liberal outside groups spent $10.2 million on the race, almost as much as conservatives. Conservatives spent almost twice as much from anonymous donors, but the $4.2 million in dark money that liberal groups pumped into Montana significantly outstripped the left's spending in many other races nationwide.
As in other key states, conservative groups devoted the bulk of their money in Montana to TV and radio ads. But sometimes the ads came across as generic and missed their mark.
Liberal groups set up field offices, knocked on doors, featured "Montana" in their names or put horses in their TV ads. Many of them, including Montana Hunters and Anglers, were tied to a consultancy firm where a good friend of Jim Messina, President Barack Obama's campaign manager, is a partner.
The end result? Tester beat Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg by a narrow margin. And the libertarian Cox, who had so little money he didn't even have to report to federal election authorities, picked up more votes than any other libertarian in a competitive race on the Montana ballot.
Montana Republicans blamed Montana Hunters and Anglers, made up of a super PAC and a sister dark money nonprofit, for tipping the race. Even though super PACs have to report their donors, the Montana Hunters and Anglers super PAC functioned almost like a dark money group. Records show its major donors included an environmentalist group that didn't report its donors and two super PACs that in turn raised the bulk of their money from the environmentalist group, other dark money groups and unions.
"Part of what's frustrating to me is I look at Montana Hunters and Anglers and say, 'That is not fair,'" said Bowen Greenwood, executive director for the Montana Republican Party. "I am a hunter. I know plenty of hunters. And Montana hunters don't have their positions. It would be fairer if it was called Montana Environmental Activists. That would change the effect of their ads."
Cox and Tester deny the group's efforts swung the race. No one from Montana Hunters and Anglers returned calls for comment.
Tester, who's argued that all groups spending on elections should disclose their donors and also pushed against super PACs, said he wasn't familiar with any of the outside groups running ads. By law, candidates are not allowed to coordinate with outside spending groups, which are supposed to be independent.
Despite his ambivalence, he said he was glad the outside groups jumped in.
"If we wouldn't have had folks come in on our side, it would have been much tougher to keep a message out there," Tester said. "We had no control over what they were saying. But by the same token, I think probably in the end if you look at it, they were helpful."
Being in Montana, knowing some of the players in this "Dark Money" "sportsmen's" group and having been contacted directly by the reporter who did the investigation for some background info, I certainly appreciate that HCN has highlighted this article.
Additional information about the players behind "Montana Hunters and Anglers Action" is below. The source for this first batch of info is this article: http://helenair.com/news/st[…]11e0-b794-001cc4c002e0.html
"Land Tawney of Missoula, president of the newly formed group…..Tawney, a senior manager for the National Wildlife Federation , wouldn't reveal the cost of the buy, but sources told the Lee Newspapers State Bureau that it's between $200,000 and $250,000….In addition to Tawney, its officers include Democratic state Sen. Kendall Van Dyk of Billings; Barrett Kaiser, a Billings communications consultant and former aide to U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.; and George Cooper, a senior vice president for a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm and former news producer for CNN."
I myself 100% oppose the use of secret, anonymous dark money to influence our democratic elections no matter who's spending it and what they are spending it on. One would think that the vast majority of Montanans and Americans feel the same way. Again, this is about much more than D's vs R's….this is about the future of democracy.
Last week the National Wildlife Federation, Montana Hunters and Anglers engaged in a new round of censorship, removal of comments and banning on their social media sites (I have screen shots of the pages if anyone wants proof) in an attempt prevent the general public from knowing about their secret, anonymous, dark money ways.
I believe much of this censorship and removal of substantive comments is coming from Land Tawney of NWF/Montana Hunters and Anglers. I've also been censored and banned by a social media site called "Sportsmen for Montana" and "Hellgate Hunters and Angler's Bully Pulpit Blog" and I believe that censorship and banning was done by Tawney and a person named Ben Lamb. Both Tawney and Lamb serve on Senator Tester's Sportsmen's Caucus advisory group (Source: http://www.tester.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1333) and have been big supporters of Senator Tester for the past 6 years.
And while I'm bringing up censorship and banning on social media sites for attempting to have substantive discussions about things like Tester's Forest Jobs and Recreation Act, or the provision in Tester's "Sportsmen's" bill, which would have prevented the EPA from ever studying or regulating the use of lead in ammo and fishing tackle, I should point out that the folks at Montana Wilderness Association have also censored and removed my comments and banned me from their site for trying to discuss issues.
As anyone can clearly see from the links below, if you simply highlight this "Dark Money" article, Montana Hunters and Anglers will censor and remove your comments and forever ban you from commenting again. Why do you think that is? SOURCE: http://ncfp.files.wordpress.com/[…]/mt_hunters_anglers_censored.png.
However, if you want to go onto the Montana Hunters and Anglers social media sites and use this type of foul language highlighted below, Montana Hunters and Anglers will do absolutely nothing to censor and remove this type of language or ban a future commenter:
"Burns was a worthless f#@k whose first campaign was financed corruptly, he wh*#ed himself....he was a s*&t-kickin' inbred racist scum." Or this: "The problem is we keep a lying jac#^ss like Tester...I can hear those lying piece of crap bubble head bleach blondes now!!" Or this: "Tester should be rotting in a jail somewhere." SOURCE: http://ncfp.files.wordpress[…]_anglers_not_censored1.png.
Ironically, I was once a member of Hellgate Hunters and Anglers and while Land Tawney and Montana Hunters and Anglers censors and bans me from their social media site, they also sent me a snail mail invitation to become a member of MT Hunters and Anglers on Saturday. So, suffice to say this secret, Dark Money group is frantically trying to scramble and find "members" so that some of the heat is taken away from their Dark Money ways.
Yep, that's how some of these self-professed, well-funded "Sportsmen" groups roll. Like I said, this really isn't anything personal as much as it is about the future of democracy in America. Bottom Line: Secret, Dark Money has no place in American democracy. Thanks.
We need to listen to Montana voters and those in the rest of the country and get Citizen United overturned through a Constitional amendment. The "Gang of Five" on the court didn't really believe that money was speech. The question was, quoting Humpty Dumpty, "Who will be master? That's all."
Hoist on their own petard, they are.
Can't we just agree that secret, Dark Money is a huge threat to our democracy and that we all should oppose it no matter what? The rationale "Well, the GOP does it too" really doesn't hold much water, and comes across as lacking principle and ethics. Sort of like, "Do as we say, not as we do."
Reconsideration of the campaign finance system is clearly necessary. I want my representatives to represent the voters, not the fundraisers.
Meanwhile, you can bet that everyone is simply recalibrating for the 2014 race: If $51 million seemed high for a contest featuring Montana's newest senator, just imagine how much will be spent in the race for Max Baucus's seat.
