WATER PURIFIERS FROM WaterUS.com
including "Corrected Water" systems
We offer multiple choices for good water purification, including both "corrected" reverse osmosis units, and advanced filtration systems, all centered around redox media (KDF or Eagle Redox Alloy) because of its unique properties, effectiveness and affordability.
NOTE: Redox alloy is a relatively expensive material. Our purifiers have the substantial amount of redox media needed to do a thorough job. There are other brands, some with the same kind of housing as ours, that contain only a small amount of redox media so they may claim to have it. These will perform less well and for a shorter time than ours.
Our redox and carbon water filter cartridges do a great job for one to two years depending on the volume and type of water processed. The larger the family, or the dirtier the water, the sooner you would change the cartridge.
Clean your water of bad taste & odor, chlorine, volatile organic chemicals, heavy metals, agricultural poisons, drugs, lime and scale. Our revolutionary processes effectively clear more household water chemicals and other water problems than other types of water treatment.
The solid carbon block water cartridge used in some of our systems has an extra fine screening ability. The pure, high-pressure solid carbon in our filter systems will remove particles as small as a micron, eliminating even most bacteria. The reverse osmosis units screen down to sub-micron size for very thorough removal of chemicals and microorganisms.
We also have several systems that remove the toxic fluoride added to most cities' water supply, supposedly for dental benefits. Those wishing to use it for their teeth can use toothpaste and mouthwash with fluoride. You should not be drinking this toxic chemical.
Our unique reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration systems have the option of including a "Corrected Water" cartridge to improve water, which may otherwise be too acidic. This remineralizing alkalizer is an option with any of our systems to correct water with reduced mineral content or pH below 7.
Our Corrected Water cartridges "energize" the water as well, by conditioning it with minerals and Far Infrared energy. The resulting water is ideal for functionality in the body. The water performs better at doing the things that water does.
Current prices for our complete line of quality point-of-use kitchen water purifier systems range from $24.70 for a water purifying pitcher or $78.97 for a single counter top unit to $329.97 for a "Max" Fluoride Removal under counter corrected reverse osmosis system. All of our drinking water purifiers have replaceable cartridges. We also have whole house systems.
Single Counter Top Filter Under Counter R.O. System
One of our point-of-use Redox & Carbon units or reverse osmosis systems will effectively reduce or remove the following contaminants:
~algae ~bacteria ~parasites ~mold/fungus ~bad taste ~bad odor ~pesticides (eg. Endrin, Lindane, Methoxychlor, Toxaphene, etc.) ~herbicides (eg. Silvex; 2, 4-D; etc.) ~fertilizers ~nitrates ~detergents ~PCB's ~THM's ~arsenic ~aluminum ~barium ~cadmium ~chlorine ~chromium ~fluoride ~hydrogen sulfide ~iron ~lead ~mercury ~radon ~selenium ~and many more
We have been in the water purification business for over 40 years.
All components of our water systems are free of BPA.
WARRANTY: Our point-of-use water filtration system housings and hardware have a warranty to be free of defects in materials and manufacture, with repair or replacement for up to one year from date of purchase, and our water cartridges for up to 90 days. (See return and liability policies.)
NOTE: For those on fluoridated city water, our special flow through units for fluoride removal or our reverse osmosis systems will thoroughly eliminate fluoride. All of our drinking water purifiers have replaceable cartridges, and clear installation instructions.

PANE is a prototype OpenFlow controller which implements Participatory Networking, an API for end-users, hosts and applications to take part in network management. PANE allows these principals to directly contact the network control-plane to place requests for resources, provide hints about future traffic, or query the state of the network. PANE divides and delegates authority for network management using a hierarchy of "shares," which are also managed by interacting with the PANE server.
Participatory Networking is designed for networks with a single logical administrator, such as datacenters, enterprise or campus networks, and home networks. The system's broad design is motivated by multiple scenarios in which applications benefit from network re-configuration including smooth video playback, bulk data transfer, in-network service from middleboxes or software routers, and route setup or flow placement. Our papers include more detailed descriptions of these examples.
A diagram of PANE's internals is shown at right. User requests enter at the top, where they are first checked against the share tree, which describes the privileges granted to each user. Valid requests are installed for their requested duration in the policy tree, which is then flattened into a single flow table for an idealized network consisting of a single switch. PANE's runtime system then converts this Network Flow Table into individual tables for the distributed OpenFlow switches, using data about the network topology maintained in the Network Information Base.

During the past five decades, Chicago's Old Town School of Folk has amassed an impressive collection of live recordings by some of the biggest names in the folk, American roots and world music categories. On December 13th, 2011, Old Town School of Folk will release part of this archive under the title Live from the Old Town School of Folk. The 127 tracks will be sold digitally on iTunes and Amazon.
I received a CD sampler that gives an idea about the music selection. This collection is an excellent introduction to American roots music (folk, blues, bluegrass, Gospel, country, etc.) and singer-songwriters. Live from the Old Town School of Folk contains pieces by legendary singers and instrumentalists such as Joan Baez, Donovan, Pete Seeger, Taj Mahal, Odetta, Martin Carthy, Steve Earle, Doc Watson, Mahalia Jackson, Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott.
In the area of global music you'll find exclusive recordings by Malian stars Toumani Diabate and Oumou Sangare, Mexican-American sensation Lila Downs, Conjunto Cespedes, Los Pleneros de la 21, and Joaquin Diaz.
"These are all performers who know how to communicate with the audience in a very personal way," says Colby Maddox, librarian/archivist and teacher at the Old Town School, who led the project and attracted support for it from the Donnelley Foundation. "They don't need that distance, that huge arena. They want to get down close and make people happy. And they are all coming from well-established traditions, all different, but all strong."
Old Town School of Folk is one of most respected venues of the Chicago music scene . "You can feel the immense energy in the concerts and what we're presenting," explains Maddox. "Take Andrew Bird's show. He was called in as an opening act on short notice, and he put together a band last minute. All these great musicians ran in to play with him, and you can really feel the spontaneity and excitement of that show in the recording."
"We once did a show with Robbie Fulks and Cowboy Jack Clement, the rockabilly producer from Sun Studios who wrote, 'I Guess Things Happen That Way,' for Johnny Cash," says Jon Langford of The Mekons, an alt-country and punk legend in his own right and a longtime supporter of the School whose cover of Procol Harum's "Homburg" is part of the Live From collection. "At the end of the night, he joined us onstage for a ragged version, then played his ukulele for us all the way back to the dressing room, even in the elevator."
Live from the Old Town School of Folk was possible thanks to Maddox and Paul Tyler, Maddox's predecessor. Tyler methodically copied early live tapes at the radio station that had become an unknowing repository for the School's first concert recordings. "They had accumulated hundreds of tapes of performances and interviews. I would tuck our rack-mount DAT under my arm and hop on the El," he recalls with a chuckle. In addition to the older archives Tyler made, the School kept a collection of digital recordings, started at the turn of the early 21st century.
Getting the rights to release this collection was no easy task. Some established artists, like folk rocker Donovan, were highly skeptical at first, but finally agreed to participate as they got mixes from Maddox and his team. Some composers, like the Puerto Rican songwriters behind some of Los Pleneros de la 21's tracks, could not be found, no matter how hard the team tried.
"We transferred thousands of hours of music," Maddox recalls. "I couldn't cut it off; there was just so much good stuff. I knew this might be the only time we'd get to do this. I didn't want to tell anyone no!"
Live from the Old Town School of Folk is a phenomenal collection of traditional and contemporary folk and world music recordings made at an essential venue in American music history.

I didn't want to write this article at first, I was planning to write one about my very first impressions of Mexico. It would have been a happier article, maybe. But today I was using the website version of Couchsurfing to plan my next trip, and man was I disappointed. Even a bit furious.
For those who haven't heard about Couchsurfing, it's a worldwide community of people who will open their homes to guests at no charge. Couchsurfing aims to bring like-minded, travel-obsessed people together for the sheer good of it – the cultural exchange, the personal connection. And one of the benefits is that you can obtain insider, locals-only travel advice before you leave home. Here is a pretty good guide if you want to learn more about Couchsurfing.
I love Couchsurfing. I have met many wonderful people through it, participated and organized a couple of events with other Couchsurfers. Amazing experiences, unforgettable memories, true friendships. And a dreadful website.
A dreadful new website, actually, which they released two weeks ago. The previous one was okay: a little slow, a little old-fashioned, but totally usable, with plenty of features.
The new one has many changes. But the thing I really dislike is that some of the core features disappeared in the new version!
This one is a big one. Why did they remove this feature?
Ok. I know this system used to be a GREAT system, but has lost a lot of its old meaning recently. A vouch used to be a valued thing. Vouching for someone meant you really trusted a person, that you would stake your reputation on him or her. Then it became just another thing to collect, there was intermittent word of vouch-exchanging parties happening and vouches were loosing their significance.
That said, I believe that today it still means something. I mean, if it meant nothing, people would have nearly as many vouches as positive references, which is not the case at all. People usually have less than 10% of their references which are vouches.
Plus, knowing who vouched for who keeps the system consistent. I used to look specifically for vouches on my hosts' profiles, look for who vouched for them, and read the voucher's profile as well as the reference which went with that vouch. At least that would filter out those "He's my best buddy" vouches, the vouches without any reference attached, and the vouch-exchanging parties vouches.
Today, we can only rely on references. It remains an excellent system. I believe it's liable, you can trust a person by looking as his references. But in my opinion vouches add something special to the profile, it makes you say "Wow this guy really knows the Couchsurfing values" instead of only "Okay he's fun and trustworthy I want to stay with him" while reading the same profile.
The thing is, people tend to easilyput positive references, even when the experience was okay. I had some Couchsurfing experiences which went good, but I didn't have the opportunity to talk with my surfer/host (because (s)he or I don't have the time, for example). I still put a positive reference, even though I actually don't really know the person. This kind of reference has the same "positive" power as those I write for some of my excellent friends I met through Couchsurfing. They are both "a positive reference", but the latter have so much more meaning. Ok, you may challenge me by saying that the content of these two references will be radically different, and that is what really is significant. And I totally agree with you. But the truth is, personally, I don't read all the references when there are 15+ of them.
That's where I think vouches can add something. It's like a more-than-positive reference, an excellent reference one may say. Seeing the number of vouches (and the vouchers' profile) will let me know this guy DOES HAVE some excellent references, and I'll scroll through all his 300 references to look for those vouched ones, without actually having to read the content of the 300 references to look for the excellent ones.
I take the vouching system very seriously, and I'm sure a lot of other Couchsurfers do too. It's losing its value, but it still has a lot of value. And we should try to make it more meaningful instead of deleting it.
Profile Information
A lot of information on your profile disappeared. The one I really liked is the last login date and location. If I see that a Mexican host logged in in Australia two hours before, I will think that's he's traveling right now and won't bother to send him a couch request. A definite time-saver.
Another feature which is removed is the "How do I know [insert name]". It was cool to know if I had mutual friends with the guy/girl whose profile I was reading. Plus, we used to put how we knew each friend: was it through Couchsurfing, or other, were we very close friends or only Couchsurfing friends (or both!) etc.? To be honest, I don't really see the point of friends anymore in Couchsurfing, references seem to be enough.
Another detail, now you either are fluent in a language, or are learning the language. There's no middle-way. I'm learning Spanish, but my Spanish level is 100 times higher than my German level which I'm learning too, yet I'm not a fluent Spanish speaker. The old system with beginner-intermediate-fluent levels of knowledge of a language was perfect. Especially for a travel website, where communication is a very important aspect.
The Couchsurfing team also removed the ability to see a member's groups. That was a great way to see how involved in the community a member was.
And right now, you can't see references you left others if the other one hasn't written one for you. Hmm…
The Couchsurfing team promised some of these features would come back, so I guess we'll just need to wait. But I do hope they come back soon.
User Experience
One of the main reasons the new website is being created is to improve the user experience, i.e. to make the website simple and intuitive to use. Unfortunately the Couchsurfing team didn't succeed as expected.
Ok, the website now looks like a real 2014 website, pretty nice, pretty slick, pretty elegant. But first of all, I think that the website feels less warm and friendly then the previous one. At some places even a little cheap. Plus, there are still some bugs which make the experience a little annoying.
For example, it's impossible to look for very old messages. This is pretty annoying. The old system let you filter your messages by selecting the names of the members you had interacted with most on the site. With the new site there is no way to look through your old messages in a systematic way. You can only look through your old messages 10 messages or so at a time. If you want to contact a friend you haven't messaged in a while, you'll be going to have a rough time.
The dashboard isn't very intelligently thought neither. Here's mine:
I mean, I won't be in Tuscany nor in Bordeaux nor in Napa Valley in the near future. Ok, it shows nice pictures on my dashboard, but it's a lot of wasted space on my screen I will never click on. The "What's Happening Near [my location]" part (which you can partly see on the bottom part) is already 10 times more interesting, and should be more valued.
The new website is mobile-friendly, but also became a little desktop-unfriendly I think. For example, the text boxes to write references or couch requests are way too small.
I would rate the new design and usability 7 out of 10. It's an improvement from the old one, but it still remains cheap and hardly usable at some places. The mobile version seems better though.
Of course, I don't hate the new Couchsurfing website. Yes, I lied in the title. I will continue using it, as I love the Couchsurfing spirit, and even with the crappiest website of the world I will still continue using it.
I just hope that the Couchsurfing team takes into account their users' feedback, and roll out new features –and some old ones- pretty soon. There's a petition to roll back the website to the previous version; I won't sign that petition. I believe this a clean, sane start for the new Couchsurfing website, but it needs more work on it, and it shouldn't remove some old features which were very useful.
Couchsurfer friends, please comment right below if you have any thoughts on the new Couchsurfing website!

I'd love for you all to be on the Live Calls each week. This is where you will get to ask your unique questions and get valuable one on one training with me.
Listening in to other woman's questions is really important too. You will learn so much from each other and as they say and Carl Rogers - "What is most personal is most universal." So no question is silly or a repeat - you are all valued and worthy - remember that.
The modules will be released a week ahead of the call, giving you time to go through the material, implement and have your questions ready for the following call. If you get stuck along the way, use the Facebook group and ask questions there. Myself and my team will be in there answering your questions too.
So here is all the details you need.

TIM Cahill's eight-year Everton FC spell has come to an end after the Goodison hero completed a £1m move to New York Red Bulls.
The Australian international has already been linked with moves to the Middle East and China during the summer, but a glamorous switch to one of Major League Soccer's top clubs emerged as the midfielder's favoured option, and following talks a deal was agreed tonight.
Cahill, 32, was still regarded as a valuable squad member by David Moyes despite only scoring three goals for the Toffees last season and not finding the net throughout 2011, during a period when he saw his previously guaranteed first-team place come under more scrutiny.
However, the Soccerro had to decide between staying on Merseyside, where he earns £55,000-a-week and potentially accepting less first team action in the wake of Steven Naismith's arrival, or taking the option of a high-profile move to the USA where his signing will be seen as a major coup.
Red Bulls already boast the talents of Thierry Henry, but just as LA Galaxy recruited Robbie Keane to supplement David Beckham last season, coach Hans Backe has been keen to team-up Cahill with the mercurial Frenchman.
Cahill's contract at Everton did not expire until 2014, and he has previously hinted that he would like to play on for another season in the Barclays Premier League.
However, the chance to become a star name in the USA proved too tempting to resist, while the Toffees have been be able to consolidate their finances by removing his £2.9m-a-year salary from their wage bill and perhaps ultimately help them to retain the services of Leighton Baines.

Garden e-Diary 5.19.15
I worked in the front bed until dark last night. It's suddenly become very gratifying. Mr. Beyers' lilies are blooming their little hearts out. I can sense the smaller faeries dancing 'round them as I work.
This morning I was out and working by 8:00 am. I went back to the central elevated bed in the side yard of the second property. I plan to have a raised bed within the circle of the utilities easement, perhaps with a central sitting area surrounded by plants and small trees. It's a lot of work, but I'm making progress, one day at a time.
The front bed is finally beginning to look like the vision I had when I began it. With a little luck, and decent rainfall, it should fill out this summer and begin to be the lush bank of foliage that I see in my mind's eye.
I'm stopping for lunch now. Then a quick trip to Home Depot. And then back to work. I'll keep you posted!

roam around the world
roam if you want to
without wings, without wheels
roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without anything but the love we feel"
~ The B-52s ~ Roam ~
Recently, I came across a great article about "the cost of Roaming" ~ The compulsive checking of messages, staying connected because we are afraid of missing out, or answering a late-night work email because it makes us feel needed. This can be powerful distractions from knowing ourselves. I realized that prior to my diagnosis, that was me. I worked hard, very hard and took pride in telling others " I am sooo busy, I work 60 hour weeks, etc...". I always seemed connected to some form of technology. And all of my gadgets and tech toys tempted me with endless stimuli that invited my attention to go off in a million scattered directions at once. If you need to get a hold of me, no worries, just try my hand held device, or my laptop, or my pager or my .... and it goes on.
We can avoid the roaming charge or "the emotional or psychic cost connected with the distraction and expectation associated with that phone, wherever and whenever it might be ringing - by remaining as attuned to your inner technologies as you are to your outer ones". It can be a challenge to maintain inner calm in a world of constant connection, yet I have had the opportunity to practice perfect this during my therapy and it has been essential for my well-being. Wisdom practices such as yoga and meditation, have allowed me to set matters aside, cut myself loose from my ego, and experience freedom from external affirmations and influences ... like breaking free from rapid-fire tweet and measuring my popularity from facebook likes ~ yes, we don't need our smartphones to discover nirvana, what a relief!
It definitely takes discipline ... we all have the urge to just check that email or message ... but introspective wisdom practices will result in higher productivity, greater inspiration, and increased creativity. It allows us to maintain presence and inner connection in a world designed to pull us in every waking moment outside of ourselves. We can live with the latest technology and still have a connected inner life. Perhaps next time let your voicemail take that call, let your email go unanswered and evaluate your relationship with technology instead of blaming it when you feel distracted. Feel the shift as it may be the next new wave of inner technology you may just be looking for.

By Linda Gorman
Sept. 14, 1999
President Clinton has proposed using $15 million of federal tax money to artificially stimulate the demand for guns. Anti-gun activists used the Presidents plan as a public relations platform for the usual array of weepy arguments in favor of more gun control. The activists, a motley collection of politicians, trial lawyers, and their non-profit hangers-on who have successfully pursued money and power, have little in common with women who routinely walk home alone late at night in dangerous neighborhoods. Unacquainted with the living, they count only the dead. Ballyhooing a crisis of violence in America created by easy access to guns, they claim that more gun control will make things better.
If these people would stop emoting and actually look at the data, they would find that the level of violence in America has little to do with guns. In fact, banning the baby boomers would probably have done more to reduce violence in America than all the gun laws presently in force.
The boomers began maturing in the late 1960s when homicide rates, and the number of gun control laws, began a rapid rise that lasted through 1993.There were 5.1 homicides per 100,000 Americans in 1964.The rate rose to 10.1 in 1974, and fluctuated throughout the 1970s and 80s with peaks at 10.7 in 1980 and 10.5 in 1991.In the last few years for which data are available (and the first few years in which the boomers have become eligible for AARP) the homicide rate has dropped. It was 7.4 per 100,000 in 1997.[1]
Two generations ago, crime rates surged as they did in the in 1960s. In 1920, the homicide rate was 5.5. By 1933, it had peaked at 9.6. The problem wasn't baby boomers or the influence of television or the Internet. Rather, national alcohol prohibition had empowered organized crime, and turned some cities into war zones. Prohibition was repealed on December 5, 1933, and the crime rate began to decline immediately.
In 1931, before gun control, 67% of homicides were attributed to firearms or explosives. In 1997, after gun control, 67.5% of homicides were firearms-related.
Like the crime rate, the suicide rate also appears unrelated to gun availability. Suicides crept upward during World War I. They lifted off from a base of 9.0 per 100,000 residents at the beginning of the 1920s, and rocketed to 16.5 by 1932. They stayed high until World War II, receded to a low of 9.7 in 1957, and peaked at 12.7 in 1987. Rates fell slightly afterwards, to 11.9 in 1995.
The violence crisis-mongers love to talk about the fact that firearms are used 450,00 violent crimes each year. They studiously ignore the fact that guns are used defensively to protect innocent people from violent crime an estimated 2.5 million times each year.[2] For every story Denver Mayor Wellington Web tells about gun violence, there are at least 5 other stories in which bullets, or the threat of them, saved someone from death or serious injury.
People sincerely concerned about minimizing violence will find the state of affairs in Britain instructive. Like much of the American elite, British officialdom does not consider self-defense a valid reason for owning a gun. After 80 years of progressively stricter gun control laws, Britain passed laws in 1988 and 1997 that banned handguns and required registered owners to surrender their weapons.
Unlike those who advocate gun control, British criminals understand that banning firearms helps criminals. Smugglers and clandestine machine shops supply the English underworld with everything from handguns to fully automatic weapons. As a study of British firearms control methods by Colin Greenwood, the Chief Inspector of the West Yorkshire Constabulary, concluded, there is no case in which controls can be shown to have restricted the flow of weapons to criminals, or in any way reduced crime.[3]
Under gun control, English rates of violent crime, gun robbery, and murder have skyrocketed. U.S. murder rates were 17 time those of England and Wales in 1981. By 1996, they were only three times the English rate. In the early 1980s, residents of England and Wales were less likely to be victims of crimes than residents of the U.S. By 1995, English assault and burglary rates were more than 2 times that of the U.S., and overall English crime victimization rates had surpassed those in the U.S.[4]
Because no known form of gun control can keep guns out of criminal hands, gun control laws leave the weak and unprotected at the mercy of armed criminals eager to take advantage of their plight. This means that elected officials in favor of gun control support a public policy that favors criminals and penalizes the law-abiding. Their law-abiding constituents should be asking why in heavens name anyone would want to do that.

"It's the same old song. But with a different meaning since you've been gone." That Four Tops song used to play on the car radio with my parents singing along in the front seat of our brown Buick. My brother and I sat in the back, dejected, on our way back from another Mets loss at Shea Stadium circa 1980. The song was as apropos then as it is now. Once again, the Mets got great starting pitching but couldn't score a lick and the leaky bullpen let the game get out of reach in case there was any hope of a comeback.
In this edition, Steven Matz, who now owns a pretty impressive 3.31 ERA, allowed just one run over 6.1 innings pitched, but the Mets were stymied by Cy Young candidate Blake Snell and the Rays bullpen. Matz exited with the Mets down 1-0 but Robert Gsellman and Anthony Swarzak each allowed a run in relief to bring the score to 3-0 Tampa Bay. The only bright spot besides Matz was Wilmer Flores, who delivered three hits, perhaps in an opportunity to boost his trade value.
It's a sad state of affairs in Queens and expect another loss tomorrow as the Mets are trotting out Chris Flexen to pitch batting practice for the Sunday game.

The Maccabiah Games take their name and image from Judas Maccabeus, the guerilla warrior who died fighting for the Jewish people around 160 BC. The Maccabiah Games were founded in 1932 to foster "tribe pride" amid rampant anti-Semitism (including in the United States). They also provided an alternative to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, when the host country as well as other nations all but barred Jewish athletes from competing. Along with the concurrent success of Detroit Tigers slugger Hank Greenberg and champion boxers Benny Leonard and Barney Ross, the Maccabiah Games helped counter the stereotype of the bookish and frail Jew.
Today, the Maccabiah Games continue to attract thousands of athletes even though they've been dwarfed by an oversaturated sports landscape. They convene every four years in Israel, with the 20th edition scheduled for 2018. The Hebrew jock-ocracy that has participated in Maccabiah Games includes Lillian Copeland, Larry Brown, Mark Spitz, Danny Schayes, Ernie Grunfeld, Mitch Gaylord, Lenny Krayzelburg, and Jason Lezak.
Journalist Ron Kaplan examines this unique event in The Jewish Olympics: The History of the Maccabiah Games (Skyhorse Publishing). His straightforward, Games-by-Games narrative traces how their mission and format have evolved since 1932. Highlights include Kaplan's interviews with Spitz, Grunfeld, and Krayzelburg—as well as his analysis about how basketball has become the athletic centerpiece of the Games. (Former New York Times sports columnist Ira Berkow contributed the introduction.)
Kaplan is the sports and features editor for the New Jersey Jewish News, the proprietor of an exhaustive baseball book blog, and the author of another book, 501 Baseball Books Fans Must Read Before They Die. He lives in New Jersey.
I interviewed Kaplan over email about the Maccabiah Games and his latest book.
What was the primary reason for the formation of the Maccabiah Games and has the original vision of the Games changed over the years?
Jews had been discriminated against for a long time. Even after they had achieved a level of financial and social success in Eastern European countries, they were excluded from many clubs and societies, including those that concentrated on sports. You would think the only criteria there would be the ability to do well in the given activities. The Maccabiahs were designed as a place where Jews could compete without such restrictions. Of course, this applies almost exclusively to male athletes; sportswomen had their own set of prejudices to deal with.
The original vision remains in place, although the reasons for the Maccabiah Games have changed to incorporate a cultural aspect, a teaching tool for those Jews who may not be familiar with their religion or the ancestral homeland.
You write that, during the Maccabiah Games of 1932 and 1935, many Jews used the occasion to flee anti-Semitism and re-locate to what would become Israel. Can you estimate how many lives the Maccabiah Games saved by allowing European Jews to escape the concentration camps?
Hundreds, I'm sure, although it's difficult to estimate. The entire Bulgarian delegation—including a group of musicians—refused to return after the Games. That alone accounted for about 350 or so who just blended into the background. Maccabiah officials and other administrators invoked an "honor system" and implored the visitors to go home at the end of the event, but obviously many stayed behind. I'm surprised the British authorities [who governed the region in the years before World War II] didn't do a better job at policing the situation.
Mark Spitz made his international debut at the Maccabiah Games. How did that experience affect his Olympic career?
Spitz participated in the Maccabiah Games in 1965 at the age of 15 and again in 1969, winning a total of 10 gold medals. He was named outstanding athlete for both Games. No doubt this made him comfortable in such a large setting, but I doubt the level of competition at the Maccabiah Games overall was as challenging as what he would face on the Olympics in '68 and '72. Nevertheless, Spitz was always a confident athlete who probably thrived under the additional pressure.
Was Spitz the most successful athlete to compete at the Maccabiah Games?
That depends how you define success. In terms of medals, there have been several athletes who have won more, either in one set of Games or over the course of their Maccabiah careers. Anita Zarnowiecki and her twin brother Bernt combined for 13 swimming medals in the 1973 Games, but because they were from Sweden you've probably never heard about them. Spitz was certainly one of the most recognizable, but that might all have been a moot point had he not excelled in the Olympics.
Basketball has emerged as the centerpiece competition of the Maccabiah Games. How did that happen? Is Tal Brody the biggest hero of the Maccabiah Games?
Without having studied the origins of basketball in Israel, I can only imagine it had a similar popularity growth as in the U.S. It didn't require a lot of equipment or space, a primary consideration in a developing country.
Looking back over his contributions to the Israeli sports world, you could easily say that about Tal Brody. He gave up a career in the NBA to remain in Israel, where he led them to an unfathomable win over Russia in 1977 [a victory over CSKA Moscow, the Soviet Army team, in the European Championships], which he claimed put Israel "on the map." Since then, Brody has become a national treasure as a sports ambassador.
The Maccabiah Games have never been the direct target of a terrorist act, but did suffer tragedy with several deaths and multiple injuries after the collapse of a bridge before the opening ceremony in 1997. Do you think they should have cancelled the Maccabiah Games after that incident or were the organizers correct in deciding to let the Games play on?
Although there were no attacks at the Games, there were a few terrorist incidents in relatively close proximity that were designed to create mayhem for the increased number of visitors [athletes and fans] to Israel. In 1989, a suicide terrorist took control of a passenger bus near Ramat Gan and sent it careening into a 400-foot ravine, resulting in the deaths of 14 people and injuring almost 30 more. In 2005, a suicide terrorist killed three and injured another 20 in Netanya two days before the Games were set to open.
The 2001 Intifada almost forced the cancellation of the 16th Games, as several delegations looked to pull out for fear of dire consequences. Once the United States decided to go ahead, other countries followed suit.
In 1997, there were two members of the Australian delegation who died on the spot and two more who died of their injuries afterwards [after the bridge collapse]. While all this was going on, the crowd inside the Stadium was unaware of the tragedy, and the opening ceremony continued. The section in the book describes the agonizing decision-making process to carry on as a tribute to the fallen Australians. Not everyone was pleased with the way the situation was handled, much like the 1972 Munich Olympics.
What is the biggest misconception about the Maccabiah Games—and what was the most surprising discovery that you made in researching and writing the book?
I think the Maccabiah Games are one of the best-kept secrets in sports, even among Jews. A lot of people are surprised to learn that, after the University Games, it is perhaps the largest amateur sporting event in the world.
The biggest surprise—actually disappointment—was the lack of media coverage, especially early on. Most of the stories in the U.S. came from Jewish newspapers about members of their community who were involved with the Games. The lack of mainstream reporting created a major problem [in researching the book], especially when it came to finding accurate numbers in terms of participation, attendance, and even the medal-count.
You point out that the so-called "Jewish Olympics" by their very nature are exclusionary. How do you reconcile that with the ostracism that the Jewish people themselves have endured for millennia? How do the neighboring Arab communities and nations feel about the Maccabiah Games?
You're right. On the one hand, that didn't sit well with some of the early organizers. On the other, it was a sense of "what's good for the goose…" It should be noted that aside from the requirement that athletes from foreign countries be Jewish according to the rules of each delegation—which raises its own can of worms when it comes to the "who is a Jew" question—Israeli Arabs, as citizens, have the right to participate. One young Arab woman was even a medal-winner
But early on, how do you think the Arabs felt? Would you want an influx of strangers coming into your community? A lot of concessions had to be made in the first set of Games.
Is there still a place for the Maccabiah Games in their current form today, do you think?
As a sporting event, I do have to wonder. The reasons for the Maccabiah Games for that purpose no longer seem valid since Jewish athletes participate on every level in just about every country. It has become more of a cultural event, an opportunity to meet fellow athletes from around the world and learn. The additional component of traveling around Israel is also a consideration.
Another consideration: The Olympics move to a different location every four years, but the Maccabiahs are always in Israel. The financial burden is tremendous.
One of the other hats you wear as a journalist is maintaining your baseball book blog. What's your favorite baseball book published so far this year and why?
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm a bit behind on my baseball reading for any number of reasons. Nothing that I've read so far has really thrilled me, but the next one in the queue is something I've really been looking forward to: an updated edition of The Hidden Game of Baseball, by John Thorn (official historian for Major League Baseball) and Pete Palmer. It was originally released 30 years ago, but I don't think I was intellectually equipped to enjoy it at the time.

Three months after HBO announced an Apple-exclusive trial for its HBO Now on-demand streaming app that did not require an existing cable or satellite subscription, CBS has announced that it will do the same for its own premium movie and original programming cable channel, Showtime. A new Showtime app for iOS and Apple TV will launch on July 12, and cost $11 per month following a 30-day free trial.
Like the HBO offering, Showtime will be exclusive to Apple for a unspecified period of time before arriving for other platforms. Also like HBO, the company offers both current movies as well as an extensive catalog of current and previous original programming, with shows such as Dexter, Weeds, Californication, Homeland, and United States of Tara, along with original documentaries and other special interest programming.
The formal announcement is likely to be made at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference during the keynote June 8, and like the HBO Now announcement an executive from CBS is likely to appear on stage to announce the new service. HBO Now, which costs $15 a month after a free 30-day trial, has already seen wide interest from former cable subscribers, and has been exclusive to Apple for the past two months, but will soon expand to other platforms as well.

Plans - Large Group
Almost a quarter of Benefits by Design's current groups are large employers providing health coverage and financial security to 100 or more employees. Typical designs for large employer benefits plans are outlined below.
Plan Enhancements
No matter the size of an organization, a comprehensive total rewards strategy requires coverage to meet the changing needs of today's workforce. Plan enhancements can be added to typical benefits to better meet the evolving needs of employees.
An innovative group insurance benefits package designed specifically for small and mid-size businesses. Offering a wide variety of coverage options, Benepac® gives you the competitive edge when offering group benefits to your clients.
Our traditional Benepac® plans are made up of extended health, dental, life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment, critical illness and disability insurance.
Comprehensive Benepac® plans may also include boutique benefits like: diagnostic specialist access insurance, employee assistance plan and/or a health care spending account.
- Benepac® EHC and dental plans are insured with Green Shield Canada.

Employees use their HCSA for what they need and as approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Eligible drug and medical expenses go toward satisfying the deductible, and employees can choose to pay the necessary deductible either from their HCSA funds or directly from their own pocket.
Benaccount® is available to groups of three or more employees on a standalone basis, or combined with Benepac® pooled benefits.
- Benaccount® Catastrophic and HCSA is insured by Green Shield Canada
No HR team? No problem! With a Benefits by Design Administrated Services Only (ASO) plan we perform all administrative functions required to provide a benefits plan. Commonly referred to as a "self-insured" product, ASO allows employers the freedom to run their business without worrying about administering the benefits they offer.
Standalone® is our product solution for employers looking for flexible options to meet their employee's benefit needs. Our Standalone® product allows employers to design a Health Care Spending Account* (HCSA), Wellness Spending Account (WSA), or a combination of HCSA and WSA, by allocating a set amount of money to each employee.
Regardless of the plan, our Standalone® products feature:
- No cheques or prefunding
- A completely paperless system
- A secure technology platform that allows employees to make claims on the go
- Two- to four-day turnaround for claims reimbursement
- Same great Benefits by Design customer service and support
*Eligible expenses as determined by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Benana® stands for Benefits and Administrative Solutions, and it's how Benefits by Design supports large employers (100+ employees) with complex benefits needs. Our status as a third-party administrator lets us administer groups with multiple suppliers, multiple billing divisions, and multi-employer association plans. Benana® facilitates the needs for an organization to their best-suited suppliers. When (or if) a company's needs or carrier relationships change, Benana® empowers a group to change carriers without the requirement to re-enroll, saving time and money.
Member of a trade or professional association? Benefits by Design (BBD) can provide specially designed coverage in the comprehensive package for members of an association and can work with association clients to help market and successfully implement a group benefits plan.
Association plans are flexible, sustainable, and customized for the industry/members being covered. Administration is handled by BBD, saving member groups time and letting them focus on what they do best.

- No medical underwriting or evidence of insurability required
- Employees are eligible to age 74 and coverage terminates on the last day of the month in which the insured reaches age 75

- Private telephonic or face-to-face professional counselling for legal, financial, or nutritional issues.
- Services provided for employees and their dependents.
Employers can provide health and dental benefits to employees on a tax-free basis. Benefits can be to provide additional coverage above and beyond a standard group plan.

Hey, sorry this is late. Cris sent this out this morning but we were on the road heading home. – Jess
The rainy, cold, gloomy weather outside yesterday was sort of reflected in Amanda's progress yesterday. Progress was made, yes, but slow. Amanda's a bit frustrated at the progress, but she's also a bit of an overachiever. I think she was hoping to be sitting in the Starbucks café downstairs, sipping a coffee, on her own by now. I think were are still a ways away from that, but she did have a number of successes yesterday, despite still feeling pretty sore and tired.
Victory #1 was that she has been in and out of bed for bathroom breaks a number of times. Each time has been getting progressively faster and for the most part, she is doing it all under on her power. Sometimes the movement back and forth can trigger a little queasiness, but she has not been physically sick for over a day now.
Victory #2 was that last night, she actually ate the first solid food she's had in days. It wasn't much, a few nibbles here and there, but it was a start. Later I decided to break the rules and get her the one little luxury she can't say no to…a Brownie Obsession from TGI Fridays. I had spotted one when I was running back and forth to our rented condo and I figured I'd roll the dice. She refused at first, but the lure of the white foam box on the nightstand filled with chocolate goodness soon won out and we quickly progressed through a number of small forkfuls. I offered some ice cream, but she couldn't be bothered by any non-chocolate items at a time like this (now that is more like her normal self).
Victory #3 is that, after an outing to the local zoo, Amanda's friend Jess brought Katie by the hospital to see her mom for the first time in days. As Katie and I rounded the corner into her room, Kate lit up the room with a smile and a "hi mommy!" instead of being scared. She sat by the bed patting Amanda's arm saying "don't be scared, it's OK". I haven't seen Amanda smile like that in a while.
Victory #4 was a solid night sleep again last night. Other than the occasional wake-up from the nurses checking on her, she slept very well again. I think this is only going to bring benefits in the days to come, which leads us to…
Victory #5 – this morning, Amanda woke up pretty talkative and with a life to her voice that hasn't been present in the past few days. She said she was hungry and wanted to try breakfast. We got the nurse working and a short time later, a plate of french toast, bacon, and watermelon arrived. She made a pretty good dent in breakfast and seemed to feel much better. This is huge progress and the staff continues to tell her she's doing well, even if she feels she is not.
Today will likely be much like yesterday, with Amanda getting as much rest as possible and gradually moving around as her body allows. She's asked me to thank you all for sending the emails, even if she's not able to read them personally just yet. I read them to her as the come in though. Even though she's previously said that she might be up for visitors starting today, I think we may have to play things by ear. If anyone locally is thinking about coming by, call me first. I'll get an update from her on how she feels and we can go from there. Phone calls might still be another day or so away, but if she continues to make the progress she has been, she'll be wanting to start making contact with you all once she is feeling normal again.

Reflective Essay Writing
A reflective essay examines the progress of the writers experience(s) and discusses future goals. Reflective essays are a common part of academic portfolios. When a teacher requests you to write a reflective essay as part of your writing portfolio, the reflective essay should provide a critical analysis of your progress as a student. The essay should discuss your strengths and weaknesses in the context of your experiences. It should explain the way you will improve on your weaknesses in the future. You should use descriptive language when writing your reflective essay. This approach is crucial to demonstrating your familiarity with the subject matter and thoughts about your development as a student. While the use of the first person is discouraged when writing formal essays, you can use pronouns such as 'I' and 'Me' in your reflective essay. This is because your personal experiences form the basis of your reflective essay.
Reflective Essay Help
The structure of a reflective essay is similar to that of other academic essays. Your reflective essay does not have to contain a thesis statement unless it is argumentative in nature. The format of your reflective essay will depend on the teachers instructions. You can write an MLA style reflective essay, APA style reflective essay, Harvard style reflective essay or Chicago style reflective essay. A reflective essay should contain at least an introduction, body and conclusion.
Reflective Essay Introduction
The introduction of your reflective essay should not be longer than one page. It should present the purpose of your reflection without providing in-depth details. You should provide comprehensive details about your reflection in the body of your essay. The introduction should tell the reader whether the writer attained his or her class or project goals. You should only provide a summary of this information in the introduction. Comprehensive details about your class or project goals should appear in the body of your essay. In summary, the introduction of your reflective essay should provide a brief overview of the rest of your paper.
Reflective Essay Body
The body of your reflective essay should provide comprehensive details about your development as a student. For example, if you are writing a reflective essay about a clinical experience, you should explain what you learned over the course of the clinical experience and your ability to apply what you learned to your academic, career and life pursuits in the future. Include examples in the body of your reflective essay to demonstrate how you learned and the way you met or missed your goals. When discussing your strengths and weaknesses, include personal and professional values and skills that you need to improve on in the future. Your reflection on personal and professional values should describe how these values fit in the clinical/medical setting and the way they have translated into your behavior.
You should reflect on the strategies that you have developed in response to the learning challenges you encountered.
Reflective Essay Conclusion
The conclusion of your reflective essay should summarize to the reader your development as a student and offer recommendations for improvement in your thinking, behavior and values in the selected setting.

Update 1, 4:48pm: The Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed that it will not grant easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline, and will instead be exploring alternate routes for the project.
"The Department of the Army will not approve an easement that would allow the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota, the Army's Assistant Secretary for Civil Works announced today," representative Moira Kelly wrote on USACE's website. "Jo-Ellen Darcy said she based her decision on a need to explore alternate routes for the Dakota Access Pipeline crossing... Tribal officials have expressed repeated concerns over the risk that a pipeline rupture or spill could pose to its water supply and treaty rights."
"Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it's clear that there's more work to do,' Darcy said, according to the statement. "The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing."
Update 2, 5:50pm: Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Dave Archambault II has released the following statement:
We wholeheartedly support the decision of the administration and commend with the utmost gratitude the courage it took on the part of President Obama, the Army Corps, the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior to take steps to correct the course of history and to do the right thing.
We want to thank everyone who played a role in advocating for this cause. We thank the tribal youth who initiated this movement. We thank the millions of people around the globe who expressed support for our cause. We thank the thousands of people who came to the camps to support us, and the tens of thousands who donated time, talent, and money to our efforts to stand against this pipeline in the name of protecting our water. We especially thank all of the other tribal nations and jurisdictions who stood in solidarity with us, and we stand ready to stand with you if and when your people are in need.
With this decision we look forward to being able to return home and spend the winter with our families and loved ones, many of whom have sacrificed as well. We look forward to celebrating in wopila, in thanks, in the coming days.
Daunnette Reyome, who was featured in Teen Vogue's spotlight on girls embracing cultural appreciation, has also commented on this amazing development on Instagram.
"My ❤ is at peace and happy with this," she captioned a photo of USACE's announcement.
Previously: In what appears to be preliminary reports from MSNBC, the Army Corps of Engineers has announced that the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline will officially stop, saying that the current route — the one that runs through Native land and jeopardizes the drinking water of the Sioux Tribe residing there — has been denied. The Daily Beast is reporting that the pipeline is being delayed so that there can be a study to see its "effect on the environment."
Earlier today, Amnesty International posted an essay on Medium condemning the construction of the pipeline, and the government for its negligence over the matter. "Under international law and human rights standards, governments are obligated to seek the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous Peoples before approval of major infrastructure projects, including pipelines, that carry a risk of harm to their human rights," wrote Zeke Johnson, the managing director of the Individuals at Risk Program at the organization.
"The Army Corps of Engineers should conduct an Environmental Impact Statement, including consultation with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe about the environmental and cultural impacts of the pipeline," he continued. "The government must also seek their free, prior and informed consent before ever moving forward with construction regardless of the outcome of the Environmental Impact Statement."
This weekend, thousands of veterans arrived to the scene to show their solidarity with the Water Protectors. Under previous orders, the Protectors were bracing themselves to be forcibly evacuated by the Army Corps of Engineer. Back in November, the Standing Rock protestors were told to leave camp by December 5th or be arrested for trespassing.
"It is both unfortunate and ironic that this announcement comes the day after this country celebrates Thanksgiving – a historic exchange of goodwill between Native Americans and the first immigrants from Europe," Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's chairman Dave Archambault II wrote in response to the warning. "Although the news is saddening, it is not at all surprising given the last 500 years of the treatment of our people. We have suffered much, but we still have hope that the President will act on his commitment to close the chapter of broken promises to our people and especially our children."
