Also, I know of but can't find an interview with Tom Wolfe in a mid to late 1970s issue of Writer's Digest in which he talks about Kesey. What sticks in my mind about the interview is Wolfe talking about Kesey contemplating writing a book about a factory in which everybody died of silicosis and wanting to get a job there so he could experience what it was like!

Create an Attractive Technological Display with a Dummy Phone
If you need to show someone what a phone looks like but want to avoid the risk of using real phones, a dummy phone is an excellent option. At an affordable price, dummy phones let you display a realistic-looking item that is not easy to break or desirable to steal. In addition to using dummy cell phones as a store display, you can use them in plenty of situations, ranging from a prop in a play to a toy for a child.
Does weight matter when picking the phone?As you browse through the broad range of display phones for sale on eBay, you'll find that there are a few different options available for weights. Lightweight dummy cell phones may be empty inside the shell, so they are not as heavy as the real thing. If a product says it has an accurate weight, this means that it's weight matches that of the real version.
Can you use a dummy phone like a real one?There are a few styles of dummy phones that work if you want the phone to look as realistic as possible. Some eBay sellers provide gently used products that still have a working display, even if they no longer have the capability of receiving cell phone service. You can also find some dummy phone styles with an LCD display that lights up and mimics basic functions like taking a photo or making a call.
Which brands have dummy cell phones?It is possible to find a dummy phone that mimics the look of a real model for most top cell phone brands. A few of the many brands sold by sellers on eBay include:
- Samsung
- Nokia
- Apple
The shell of a dummy phone mimics the appearance of real dummy cell phones, but matching the look of a working phone is not always possible. There are a few different styles of dummy cell phone screens available, including:
- LCD: This style is an LCD screen that lights up like a real one, but it typically has a fixed image that you cannot interact with or change.
- Paper: A dummy phone with a paper display has a cardboard picture of a lit up cell phone display that fits into a slot on the front.
- Blank: This type is a blank black rectangle that has a matte or glossy appearance.

Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is when children and young people receive something (such as food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts, or money) as a result of performing, and/or others performing on them, sexual activities. Child sexual exploitation can occur through the use of the internet or on mobile phones. In all cases, those exploiting the child or young person have power over them because of their age, gender, intellect, physical strength and/or resources. For victims, the pain of their ordeal and fear that they will not be believed means they are too often scared to come forward.
What Are The Signs?
Often the victims of sexual exploitation are not aware that they are being exploited. Sometimes a victim may think they won't be believed - especially if the abuser is the partner of their mum or dad, a relative or close family friend - and so they may be reluctant to ask for help. However there are a number of tell-tale signs that a child or young person may be being groomed. These include:
- Going missing for periods of time or regularly coming home late
- Regularly missing school or not taking part in education
- Appearing with unexplained gifts or new possessions
- Associating with other young people involved in exploitation
- Having older boyfriends or girlfriends
- Suffering from sexually transmitted infections
- Mood swings or changes in emotional wellbeing
- Drug and alcohol misuse
- Displaying inappropriate sexualised behaviour
- Changes in eating pattern
What Are The Risks Faced By Children?
- Children at risk of sexual exploitation are some of the most vulnerable in our society. Many have experienced abandonment or have suffered from physical and mental abuse. They need help but don't know where to look.
- Perpetrators of these crimes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, using the internet to protect their identity and trafficking children around the country to avoid detection.

Vintage Indigo no. 84
Insert not included. Available for purchase HERE
This pillow is made from vintage indigo fabric sourced from Africa and made by artisans. The pillow cover is finished with our natural linen blend backing and closed by a hidden zipper.
Please be aware that, being uniquely handcrafted, every pillow is one of a kind, resulting in subtle pattern and color variations between pieces. While our website's imagery provides a close representation of the craftsmanship, please understand that the item you receive may not be an exact replica.
Care Instructions: Please practice caution when stuffing your pillow case with an insert. Many of these fabrics are vintage and must be handled delicately. We recommend spot treating.
All orders placed after 1 PM PST will start processing on the next business day. Please allow 2-5 business days for standard processing.
Indigo fabrics, with their deep blue allure, are the outcome of a time-honored dyeing technique rooted in the leaves of the indigo plant. This process involves fermentation and oxidation, where fabric is dipped into the indigo vat, initially emerging green before transforming into the iconic blue upon exposure to air. Cultivated across cultures, from ancient civilizations in Asia to Africa and the Americas, this craftsmanship brings to life textiles renowned for their rich history, vibrant color, and cross-continental charm.

Another Brooklyn: A Novel (Paperback)
August 2016 Indie Next List
"National Book Award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson has crafted a beautiful, heart-wrenching novel of a young girl's coming-of-age in Brooklyn. Effortlessly weaving poetic prose, Woodson tells the story of the relationships young women form, their yearning to belong, and the bonds that are created - and broken. Brooklyn itself is a vivid character in this tale -- a place at first harsh, but one that becomes home and plays a role in each character's future. Woodson is one of the most skilled storytellers of our day, and I continue to love and devour each masterpiece she creates!"
— Nicole Yasinsky (E), The Booksellers at Laurelwood, Memphis, TN
A Finalist for the 2016 National Book Award
New York Times Bestseller
A SeattleTimes pick for Summer Reading Roundup 2017
A Bustle Fall Roundup pick for 2017
The acclaimed New York Times bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming delivers her first adult novel in twenty years.
Running into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything—until it wasn't. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant—a part of a future that belonged to them.
But beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion.
Like Louise Meriwether's Daddy Was a Number Runner and Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina, Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn heartbreakingly illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood—the promise and peril of growing up—and exquisitely renders a powerful, indelible, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives.
Jacqueline Woodson is the 2014 National Book Award Winner for her New York Times bestselling memoir Brown Girl Dreaming, which was also a recipient of the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor Award, the NAACP Image Award, and the Sibert Honor Award. She is also the author of New York Times bestselling novel Another Brooklyn (Harper/Amistad), which was a 2016 National Book Award Finalist and Woodson's first adult novel in twenty years. In 2015, Woodson was named Young People's Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation. She is the author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults, middle graders, and children; among her many accolades, she is a four-time Newbery Honor winner, a three-time National Book Award finalist, and a two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner.
"Woodson's unsparing story of a girl becoming a woman recalls some of the genre's all-time greats: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Bluest Eye and especially, with its darkly poetic language, The House on Mango Street." — Sarah Begley, Time
"An engrossing novel about friendship, race, the magic of place and the relentlessness of change." — People Magazine
"Woodson manages to remember what cannot be documented, to suggest what cannot be said. Another Brooklyn is another name for poetry." — Washington Post
"Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She imbues their everyday lives with significance." — Elle
"In Jacqueline Woodson's soaring choral poem of a novel…four young friends…navigate the perils of adolescence, mean streets, and haunted memory in 1970s Brooklyn, all while dreaming of escape." — Vanity Fair
"Another Brooklyn joins the tradition of studying female friendships and the families we create when our own isn't enough, like that of Toni Morrison's Sula, Tayari Jones' Silver Sparrow and Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde. Woodson uses her expertise at portraying the lives of children to explore the power of memory, death and friendship. — Los Angeles Times Book Review
"…it is the personal encounters that form the gorgeous center of this intense, moving novel...Structured as short vignettes, each reading more like prose poetry than traditional narrative, the novel unfolds as memory does, in burning flashes, thick with detail..." — New York Times Book Review
"With Another Brooklyn, Jacqueline Woodson has delivered a love letter to loss, girlhood, and home. It is a lyrical, haunting exploration of family, memory, and other ties that bind us to one another and the world." — Boston Globe
"Woodson writes lyrically about what it means to be a girl in America, and what it means to be black in America. Each sentence is taut with potential energy, but the story never bursts into tragic flames; it stays strong and subtle throughout." — Huffington Post
"Gorgeously written and moving, Another Brooklyn is an examination of the complexities of youth and adolescence, loss, friendship, family, race, and religion." — Jarry Lee, Buzzfeed
"[E]ntwined coming-of-age narratives-lost mothers, wounded war vets, nodding junkies, menacing streetscapes-are starkly realistic, yet brim with moments of pure poetry." — Elle Books Feature
"…fine-cadenced prose…" — Wall Street Journal
"The novel's richness defies its slim page count. In her poet's prose, Woodson not only shows us backward-glancing August attempting to stave off growing up and the pains that betray youth, she also wonders how we dream of a life parallel to the one we're living." — Booklist (Starred Review)
"Another Brooklyn reads like a love song to girlhood…" — Bustle
"emotionally resonant work" — Seattle Times
"Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn is a gauzy, lyrical fever dream of a book." — Vox Magazine
"There are nothrowaway sentences in Another Brooklyn — each short, poetic line feels carefully loved and polished. The first half of this novel asks urgent questions; the second delivers uneasy, heartbreaking answers. At its core, this book is about fragility, how light shines in the broken places." — Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards
"Jacqueline Woodson is a gorgeous writer…lyrical prose, really, really beautiful." — Emma Straub, New York Times Bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers
''…And Sister Jacqueline Woodson comes singing memory. Her words like summer lightning get caught in my throat and I draw her up from southern roots to a Brooklyn of a thousand names, where she and her three 'sisters' learn to navigate a new season. A new herstory. Everywhere I turn, my dear Sister Jacqueline, I hear your words, a wild sea pausing in the wind. And I sing…" — Sister Sonia Sanchez
"Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn is another kind of book, another kind of beautiful, a lyrical, hallucinatory, heartbreaking, and powerful novel. Every gorgeous page leads to another revelation, another poignant event or memory. This is an incredible and memorable book." — Edwidge Danticat, author of Claire of the Sea Light
"Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn is another kind of book, another kind of beautiful, a lyrical, hallucinatory, heartbreaking, and powerful novel. Every gorgeous page leads to another revelation, another poignant event or memory. This is an incredible and memorable book." — Ann Patchett, New York Times Bestselling Author of This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage and State of Wonder
"In this elegant and moving novel, Jacqueline Woodson explores the beauty and burden of growing up girl in 1970's Brooklyn through the lens of one unforgettable narrator. The guarded hopes and whispered fears that August and her girlfriends share left me thinking about the limits and rewards of friendship well after the novel's end. Full of moments of grief, grace, and wonder, Another Brooklyn proves that Jacqueline Woodson is a master storyteller." — Angela Flournoy, author of The Turner House, a finalist for the National Book Award
"Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn is a wonder. With a poet's soul and a poet's eye for image and ear for lyrical language, Woodson delivers a moving meditation on girlhood, love, loss, hurt, friendship, family, faith, longing, and desire. This novel is a love letter to a place, an era, and a group of young women that we've never seen depicted quite this way or this tenderly. Woodson has created an unforgettable, entrancing narrator in August. I'll go anywhere she leads me." — Naomi Jackson, author of The Star Side of Bird Hill
"Jacqueline Woodson's spare, emphatic novel about young women growing up in 1970s Bushwick brings some of our deepest silences-about danger, loss, and black girls' coming of age-into powerful lyric speech. Another Brooklyn is heartbreaking and restorative, a gorgeous and generous paean to all we must leave behind on the path to becoming ourselves." — Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize-Winning author of Life on Mars and Ordinary Light
"A stunning achievement from one of the quietly great masters of our time." — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"Woodson…combines grit and beauty in a series of stunning vignettes, painting a vivid mural of what it was like to grow up African-American in Brooklyn during the 1970s…Woodson draws on all the senses to trace the milestones in a woman's life and how her early experiences shaped her identity." — Publishers Weekly, (Boxed and Starred Review)
"With spare yet poetic writing, this long-awaited adult novel by National Book Award winner Woodson (Brown Girl Dreaming) is a series of vignettes narrated by August, shortly after her dad's funeral and a chance encounter with an old friend." — Library Journal (starred review)
"Perhaps unsurprisingly, given Woodson's background not only as a novelist but also as a poet, Another Brooklyn is told in spare, lyrical prose, with a surface simplicity that belies its underlying narrative strength and emotional heft. Often, in Woodson's novel, what isn't said is as essential as what is, and readers come away feeling as if they, in the process of reading the novel, are somehow partners in Woodson's project of telling her poignant and devastating story about dreams deferred, destroyed, and—in rare cases—realized." — BookBrowser Review

Apparently, the only thing that stopped developers from creating useful OpenOffice.org extensions was the lack of a place to publish them. With the launch of the OpenOffice.org Extension Repository, the number of extensions listed there has shot up, and there are no signs of a slowdown. Although quantity doesn't always mean quality, the repository already offers a few nifty extensions that can expand the functionality of OpenOffice.org and make your work more efficient.
Bookmarks Menu
On the face of it, the Bookmarks Menu just adds bookmarks to documents, but dig deeper and you'll discover that this extension can do much more. Once you've installed the Bookmarks Menu, it appears only in the Tools -> Add-Ons menu. To add the Bookmarks menu to the main toolbar, choose the Bookmark Menu item and press OK. By default, the menu contains two items: Bookmark This Document and Edit Bookmarks. The former allows you to quickly bookmark the currently opened document, so you don't have to navigate to the desired document every time you want to open it. Of course, you can use the Recent Documents feature to do that, but it has some limitations: it can hold only up to 10 entries and you can't sort the entries. More importantly, the Bookmarks Menu can bookmark not only documents but also macros and shell commands, and you can do this in just a few clicks.
To bookmark, for example, an often-used macro, choose Edit Bookmarks and press the New button. Give the bookmark a name, select Macro from the Type drop-down list, press the Open button, and select the macro you want. Press OK to save the new bookmark, and you are done. In fact, it takes longer to explain how this works than actually bookmarking a macro.
The extension's ability to bookmark shell commands can come in even more handy, since it allows you to create bookmarks that send commands to external applications. For example, you can create a bookmark that opens your favorite Web site in the default browser. To do this, choose Edit Bookmarks, press New, and give the new entry a name. Select the ShellCommand item from the Type drop-down menu, and type the Web address into the Arguments list. Then type firefox (or another browser) into the Url field, press OK to save the bookmark, and you are done.
By using the Menu button in the Edit Bookmarks window you can also export your shell commands and settings, which can be useful if you are using the extension on several machines.
No prizes for guessing what OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs does. Once installed, the extension adds a menu in the main toolbar that allows you to easily exchange documents between OpenOffice.org and Google Docs. The upload part of the extension supports not only ODT documents, but also SXW, DOC, and spreadsheets in ODS, XLS, and CVS formats, as well as PPT presentations. The download part of the OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs extension is still under heavy development, and right now it can only import Google Docs documents as plain text files.
Code Formatter
If your Writer documents contain a lot of code, and you want to make it look pretty by adding syntax color, the Code Formatter extension can help you. The current version supports C++, Java, and OpenOffice.org Basic syntax only, but the extension comes with a detailed description of how it works, so you can add other languages yourself.
To apply syntax color to a code block, you have to apply the _OOoComputerCode paragraph to it and then run an appropriate macro (e.g. MacroFormatterADP -> Basic -> FMT_ColorCodeCurrentBasic for OpenOffice.org Basic code). Unfortunately, the extension doesn't add a dedicated menu, so you have to manually select the coloring macro. Alternatively, you can use the Bookmarks Menu to create bookmarks for the Code Formatter macros.
The idea of using Subversion for document versioning is nothing new, but OOoSVN allows you to use the system right from within OpenOffice.org, hiding Subversion's complexity behind a few easy-to-use commands. Before you can make use of OOoSVN, you have to install Subversion on your machine, but most mainstream Linux distributions have Subversion in their repositories. During the first run, OOoSVN sets up a repository for your documents and moves the currently opened document into it. Using commands available under the SVN menu in OpenOffice.org, you can commit changes, revert the document to a previous version, and graphically browse the document's versions. OOoSVN even allows you to compare two versions of the document using OpenOffice.org's Compare feature.
mOOo Impress Controller
If you've got a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, why not use it for something fancy and useful like controlling Impress presentations? mOOo Impress controller allows you to do just that. It consists of an OpenOffice.org extension for the desktop and a Java-based client that must be installed on the mobile phone. The client's functionality is rather limited: using it, you can launch the presentation and move between slides. On the other hand, its simplicity has one major advantage: with only three functions, you are less likely to do something wrong during the presentation.
Once you've installed the Java client on your mobile phone and extension in OpenOffice.org, open a presentation and launch the mobile client. In OpenOffice.org, choose mOOo Menu -> Select Device and press the Search button. Select your mobile phone from the list of found devices, and press OK. Choose mOOo Menu-> On, and you are ready to control your presentation from the mobile phone. To close the connection, choose again mOOo -> On.
Speaking of presentations, there is another nifty extension you might want to give a try. Sun Presentation Minimizer can shrink an Impress file to a fraction of its original size, which can come in handy if you need to email a presentation to colleagues. Interestingly, the tool can handle not only the native ODP files but also Microsoft Office PPT presentations.

Austria: Travel Guide & Sightseeing Information
Welcome to TourMyCountry.com! This website was set up to supplement the many tourist information sites that you have probably found already: Established travel guides, hotel chains and local tourism councils spam prospective visitors of Austria with tons of information on how great the place is and why you should spend your money there.
TourMyCountry.com has a different approach. It was set up by an Austrian in an attempt to provide information of two kinds: Of the general travel information, telling you about the history, local traditions and different aspects of today′s life in Austria, as well as direct sightseeing information on Austria′s many attractions, from Tyrol in the West to Vienna in the East. This is done similarly to the way conventional guide books would do it.
The "other" aspect of this website makes it distinct: It offers first-hand, local advice from a real person - including fair criticism and a dash of irony. Many articles you will find here are subjective and don′t even pretend to be neutral (unlike the material presented by the tourism mafia). You can evaluate how much they match your own interests by comparing them to information from other websites or guidebooks. The aim of TourMyCountry.com is to make visitors of Austria critical, to highlight original things about the country and go beyond the tackiness of the conventional image.

How to use TourMyCountry.com
The website is structured into different areas of interest similar to a conventional travel guide: learn about history, politics, travel practicalities and personal impressions of Austria in the "background" section. General "sightseeing information" can be found in the section with the same name, structured according to the nine federal provinces of Austria (plus the Salzkammergut as a separate area). Tours, daytrips and suggested itineraries are listed in another section, here you will find things like "what to see in Austria within two weeks" and alike. This section also suggests "themes" for specialist travel.
The "photo gallery" shows a few highlights of Austrian sightseeing attractions. "Dining and Cuisine" gives the theory and background of the "Wiener Küche" and the regional Austrian cuisine, but also lists recipes and dining guides. What to do is finally listed in the section of "activities", ranging from festivals and Vienna waltz to skiing, spas and other fun things. A special focus lies on sightseeing in Vienna.

Please be assured that this is a very living website! I am really working on it constantly, and you can come back and check on that. The site is done with very honest intentions, mostly because I was fed up with the picture-perfect image that others draw of my country. Current information can be obtained from the "TourMyCountry Blog". Enjoy your stay in Austria!
And please note my new little playground, an open-source robot!

The Danger That Remains To Be Addressed
This has been a very distressing week, with the announcement about Rabbi Meir Pogrow being a serial predator. Although I haven't seen much of him in the last few years, I first met Meir and his extended family over twenty years ago, when they gave me much hospitality and help, and his ex-wife and her family are truly wonderful people. I feel immense pain for them and for all the victims.
However, while the revelations about his actions were not as wholly unsurprising as was the case with Rabbi Leib Tropper (with whom, several weeks before the revelations came out about his predatory actions, I warned that he was a dangerous manipulator), I can't say that it came as a complete shock. I first heard reports about Meir's inappropriate behavior over a decade ago. That itself, however, obviously raises a question. While these cases are complicated, and there are all kinds of factors to consider, there remains to be more light shed on why it took so long for the condemnation to appear, and how last week he could be perfectly acceptable as a maggid shiur but this week he is a rasha with whom one must not associate. (I am not saying that there aren't any good answers to this question - there may well be. But I think that, if there are good answers, they should be made known, rather than leaving it up to people to speculate.)
One very important essay about this case was written by Shayna Goldberg, an experienced seminary teacher, at The Times of Israel. It is similar to the excellent material written by Paul Shaviv about the problem of "Pied Pipers" - overly charismatic teachers who manipulate their students in harmful way. The essay is definitely worth reading in its entirety, but here is the second part:
...This is the real issue that has plagued my mind for so long. The fact that this man was never, ever fit to be an educator. The fact that knowing all the Torah in the world does not on its own make you trustworthy enough to be given a classroom's worth of young, impressionable souls. The fact that long before anyone suspected inappropriate sexual behavior, it was glaringly clear that this person employed all kinds of unhealthy teaching methods in order to cultivate relationships with students. And the fact that no one but a few innocent teenage girls seemed to notice.
And so I want to talk about it. I want to talk about teachers who use fear and guilt frequently and indiscriminately in order to motivate and inspire. Teachers who deliberately try to alienate their students from everything they come from — their parents, families, homes, previous schools, communities, shuls, and even shul rabbis. Teachers who break students down so that they can recreate them in their own images. Teachers who cultivate groupies and are dependent on their students for self-esteem. Teachers who lack real relationships with their own peers because they are "so devoted" to their students. Teachers who teach students not to trust themselves, not to rely on their instincts, and not to listen to their inner voices.
Unfortunately, teachers like this are not uncommon, and we don't talk enough about the damage that they do. About the fact that the rapid growth and change that they foster usually doesn't last or, if it does, comes at a heavy price. About the fact that their students, years later, often find themselves empty and lost. About the guilty feelings that can stay with a person forever. About the relationships that are ruined in the process. And about the dependence that has been formed.
We don't talk about it because, in the moment, the picture is so rosy. The teacher is charismatic, "his" classes are well attended, "she" is so devoted to her students, and the growth seems so exciting and real.
There are healthy and positive ways to educate and to inspire growth, whether the trajectory in mind is chareidi, "modern," or something else. These ways are usually rooted in respect, humility, responsibility and trust.
Deeply respecting our students means wanting to understand and appreciate where they come from and who they are. It means valuing their relationships with family and friends and encouraging positive interactions as much as possible. It means wanting growth to be organic and slow, to follow a continuum and to not demand a total break with the past.
Humility includes being able to admit our own failings and limitations. It is the ability to tell our students when we don't know something. Humility also means realizing that our way is not the only way, and that sometimes someone else might know more, or know better, or simply have a different take on things. Humility means understanding that each person is an individual; that it is important for students to cultivate and develop that individuality and not suppress it; and that the goal is not to create miniature versions of ourselves.
Responsibility is required with regard to the teaching methods that are employed. Fear and guilt work effectively for inspiring quick change, but, in the long run, they often lead to self-doubt, resentment, and depression. Responsibility means being honest about the ups and downs of life. It means describing hard moments that might arise and preparing students to deal with them. It means letting our students know that we also have challenges, questions, struggles and doubts. Teaching with responsibility means having patience, because real growth is a process that takes a long time. It means understanding that in order for something to be truly internalized, a student needs to work hard to make it that way.
Finally, we should educate our students to develop trust in themselves. Trust in their ability to think, to weigh things, and to make good decisions. Trust to pay attention to their gut and to notice when something doesn't feel right. We should trust that our students are good at heart and want to do the right thing. And we should not betray their trust when they come forward with a concern, but should listen very, very closely to what they are telling us.
Even if we want to disagree about what exactly constitutes a healthy education, let's at least agree on what does not.
I hope that in the wake of this scandal, we don't just talk about one outed, sick educator and then move on as if everything were okay. Let us not get so distracted by the outrageous details that we forget what was so grossly inexcusable about his conduct as a teacher, even had he never touched anyone.
People like this are facilitated by an educational culture that celebrates and rewards brilliant and charismatic figures, despite the fact that they are often highly problematic and leave silent trails of ruin in the shadows of their successes.
As a community, we can be aware of this and do a lot to change it. Our schools, administrators, and lay leaders can think, and think again, about our educational goals and about the healthy ways in which to help our students reach them. And, in the event that there are staff members whose behavior is wholly inconsistent with our conclusions, then it's time that we put our children's well-being first.
Let's talk about that.
I truly hope that this message sinks in, because it is a very serious problem. Furthermore, while Mrs. Goldberg discusses cases where staff members are manipulative and dangerous to their students, that can potentially be addressed by other staff members and by the heads of the institution. What about when the head of the institution himself is a deeply problematic person? I remember, after the brouhaha several years ago regarding charges about problems with Rav Bina's educational approach, a friend of mine, who knew Rav Bina very well, told me that while all the reports were true, they pale into insignificance compared to a certain other Rosh Yeshivah in Jerusalem. He explained to me that at least with Rav Bina, there are other staff members who temper his approach, but with this other Rosh Yeshivah, his exceedingly manipulative and emotionally abusive approach is not only vastly more harmful than that of Rav Bina, but it is untempered by any other faculty members, who are all devoted chasidim of this Rosh Yeshivah and who amplify his approach.
Previously, in a post on the question of why do so many centrists send their kids to extreme charedi yeshivos, I noted that many parents do not do proper research, or are misled by the yeshivah. Perhaps it is up to high schools, who often host rebbeim that are recruiting for various yeshivos and seminaries, to find out whether these yeshivos and seminaries have severely inappropriate teachers on their faculty or running their institutions.

Everything I Never Told You: A Novel |
Everything I Never Told You: A Novel
Penguin Press
304 pages
Hardcover ISBN: 9781594205712
Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet . . . So begins the story of this exquisite debut novel, about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle daughter, a girl who inherited her mother's bright blue eyes and her father's jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue—in Marilyn's case that her daughter become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James's case that Lydia be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the center of every party.
When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together tumbles into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart. James, consumed by guilt, sets out on a reckless path that may destroy his marriage. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to find a responsible party, no matter what the cost. Lydia's older brother, Nathan, is certain that the neighborhood bad boy Jack is somehow involved. But it's the youngest of the family—Hannah—who observes far more than anyone realizes and who may be the only one who knows the truth about what happened.
A profoundly moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, exploring the divisions between cultures and the rifts within a family, and uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

Hi everybody! We're wrapping up production on Cars 2, and now we're excited to announce that Cars 2: The Video Game will be presented in 3D exclusively on the PS3. We've worked very closely with Pixar to bring a cool Cars 2 game to life, and it's even more exciting to bring all of those great characters to life in a full 3D experience. Pixar has created such vibrant worlds that resonate so well with audiences that it seemed a natural extension to take the game to a 3D setting — just like the upcoming film.
What's more, our engineers were able to design a system that allows us to harness the power of the PS3 to display the game in four-player split screen in full 3D. It made the PlayStation 3 the perfect choice for developing a 3D game. We're really looking forward to delivering a special racing game, and I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as we do!
The 3D aspect for the PS3 enables you to step into the game world and experience it the same way you will in a 3D-equipped theater. You'll get an extra visceral component to the gameplay that you just don't get on any other platform. When you're jumping off ramps or smashing through barriers, you feel that sense of actually being there that is so cool with 3D gaming! I love it, and I'm sure you will once you try it.
