LiPPGen, the Literate-Programming-based Presentation Generator, takes a standard Literate Program (with LaTeX as the documentation language) as input and lets the instructor comfortably generate presentation slides for each code chunk. It then assembles the provided slide texts and the code chunks and turns them into a browser-based presentation. The presentations feature scrollable code chunk listings, primitive syntax highlighting, and line breaking within listings. LiPPGen expects the source file to be formatted in noweb's Literate Programming style.
Molly, a MO-dule for LI-terate programming is a simple self-contained, standalone tool written in core Perl (no extra modules). It creates "Folding HTML" documents out of your Literate Source files on the fly, either as a command line utility or via CGI. It implements a new type of "weaver" for Literate Programming, and has its own built-in tangler. Molly uses the Norman Ramsey "noweb" tool markup (with one sanitizing restricion), and can be used with it. It can also be employed as a standalone script for non-programming purposes to keep notes, long documents, even books in "folding HTML" files.
Newfangle is a literate programming technique for LyX (or LaTeX) inspired by notangle. It comes in two parts. The weave part that produces the formatted document is implemented entirely in LaTeX, and the tangle that generates the source code is implemented in awk for portability. Naturally, newfangle is written using literate programming techniques, using itself, and so the source is also the documentation. The source is written using the LyX document editor, an excellent front end to LaTeX. LyX is not required, but newfangle provides formatting support for LyX. Literate programming makes you write good code, because if you can't write a good justification or explanation for your code, it makes you think again and write something that you can explain.
Pipadoc extracts extracts special comments out of source files or plaintext files and let one define rules how to bring them into proper order. This is somewhat similar to Literate Programming, but it puts the emphasis back to the code, since the source is not extracted from a given "literate text", but the documentation is extracted from the source and then the structure of the generated documentation is defined by the programmer. Pipadoc is programming language and documentation system agnostic, all it requires is that the programming language has some kind of line or block comments in one can place doc statements. It provides a plugin system where one can extend functionality. Some plugins for asciidoc, index generation, and verbatim code sections are provided.

By now you've had some time to punch, kick, and rip out spines in Mortal Kombat. If you're playing on Xbox 360, though, your roster is one man short compared to the PlayStation 3 version, which includes Kratos. After the God of War tie-in, fans kept waiting for a 360-exclusive reveal that never came.
Eurogamer reports that game director Ed Boon did want the system to have its own character as well, but it didn't work out. "Unfortunately, the circumstances didn't allow us to make a 360 exclusive," said Boon. "I'm not allowed to talk too much about it, but I can tell you we certainly wanted to do an exclusive for 360, but that's all I can say. It was not a decision we made where we said, oh, let's not do one for the 360."
Boon didn't disclose who may have been the final choice, but did drop a few names that were considered. "Anybody who's really knowledgeable about the Xbox video games, the big titles, names like Master Chief from Halo, Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, and any other Xbox exclusive title, is going to come up in a conversation in talking about it," he said. "So clearly we've discussed it."
Now Master Chief probably isn't the type for Mortal Kombat's particularly brutal violence, and Marcus Fenix using a Lancer from hip to sternum just seems too obvious. So by process of elimination, that leaves only one possibility. That's right: Banjo and Kazooie.

The state Assembly voted 62-31 Tuesday to let voters decide whether to write a ban on same-sex marriages and civil unions into the state constitution. But before the last lawmaker's vote was taken, supporters and opponents of the proposal were already looking past that action toward a costly campaign to win voters' support in November's popular referendum.Things will be exciting here over the next few months, it seems. Gay rights groups should place special importance on defeating the anti-gay marriage amendment here in Wisconsin, because they think they can win here and maybe turn the tide on this issue nationally. The anti-gay marriage forces will need to respond strongly, and that may not play well among the general populace of this state. The amendment is broadly worded:
Opponents of the Republican-sponsored ban said they want Wisconsin to be the first state in the country to reject a proposed amendment, while supporters see the state as another chance to prove that upholding traditional marriage isn't just a Bible Belt issue.
With two years of preparation behind them, both sides promised a campaign that could run as high as several million dollars, include hundreds or even thousands of volunteers, and employ everything from the pulpit to Web sites and television ads.
"Wisconsin is significant because it's not a southern conservative state. It's not a state, I don't think, where the so-called religious right is considered to normally be a strong factor," said Peter Sprigg, vice president for policy at the pro-amendment Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. "It's important because it's illustrative of the fact that defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman has very broad appeal throughout the American population."
Tim O'Brien of the Human Rights Campaign, also in Washington, D.C., also saw Wisconsin as important to his gay rights group's efforts to oppose the constitutional bans that have swept many states.
"When you look at the national landscape right now, Wisconsin is a place in which we believe that we have a great chance of succeeding," said O'Brien, a former state resident who's working with state groups to defeat the ban. "I think that Wisconsin is just leaps and bounds ahead of any other state that has had this occur."
Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state.The second sentence goes beyond what is needed to satisfy traditionalists and takes a gratuitous swipe at benefits currently enjoyed by real families here in the state. I find it hard to believe that the decent, often religious citizens who think gay marriage is wrong will feel very good about the threat of depriving real individuals of insurance benefits. [ADDED: I'm referring to health insurance!] We will see these individuals in the TV ads, and the other side will be reduced to arguing that the language of the amendment doesn't really mean that. Trust us, they will say. Trust the courts to interpret the language of the amendment so that it won't mean the bad thing the gay rights groups are saying it will mean. You hypocrites! The argument for the amendment was that we can't trust the courts not to find rights for gay people in the unamended state constitution.

By Lucas Conley
It didn't take an MBA to identify the bottleneck in Kenneth Baltz' supply chain.
"His entire supply of eggs would be sold out within two hours of opening the Farmers Market," Sarah Noss, the executive director of the Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute, recalls. "Then he'd just have to sit there for the rest of the day."
Baltz needed more chickens. One year later, with the help of a pair of small FMI loans, the 60-year-old semi-retired farmer had them. Eight hundred more of them, in fact—plus a new 6,000-square-foot pen to protect his investment from the coyotes that frequent the farm he and his wife, Judy, own just north of Abiquiu.
"Not only have I doubled my flock," Baltz says. "I've doubled my eggs and doubled my customers. Those loans really got me up and going."
For farmers like Baltz, the FMI offers a welcome solution to capitalism's classic chicken-and-egg dilemma: Entrepreneurs want money to grow their businesses, but lenders want to see a business grow before investing their money. By removing many of the typical prerequisites to getting a loan (submitting to stringent credit checks, filling out stacks of paperwork, writing a detailed business plan), in just two years, the FMI has been able to provide more than 50 farmers across northern New Mexico with a total of $127,000 in low-interest, community-funded microloans, ranging from a few hundred dollars up to $5,000.
FMI's refreshingly utopian program has quickly assumed a vital role in the regional food ecosystem. But as the spring growing season looms and farmers look to borrow money again, Noss says FMI's funds are nearly exhausted.
As the global economy has retracted, local growers, distributors, restaurateurs and innovators at every level have found the challenge of starting or growing a business increasingly difficult. The added economic pressure compounds a host of long-standing regional issues—from rising land costs and dwindling water rights to Santa Fe's high cost of living and insufficiencies with local infrastructure.
Despite these challenges, entrepreneurs large and small are successfully navigating New Mexico's investment landscape.
From subsistence to success
Kosma Channing isn't the bookish type. By his own admission, the 27-year-old farmer barely graduated from high school. Nevertheless, Channing does know a thing or two about running a business. By methodically building up his farm and undercutting farms from out of state, he and his brother, Teague, 31, have created Gemini Farms, a Las Trampas cooperative founded with a small loan from their mother just eight seasons ago.
It's now a stove-top name around Santa Fe's best kitchens. La Casa Sena, Santacafé, Body—in all, more than a dozen of the city's most discerning chefs buy organic vegetables from Gemini.
Success has transformed the Channings' operation into one of the larger non-wholesale farms in northern New Mexico, incorporating new fields and crops, irrigation systems and additional infrastructure, like hoop houses, raised beds and a cavernous storage cellar. Through it all, they've adhered to one basic fiduciary principle: "If we don't have the money," Kosma says. "We don't buy it."
But as their farm has grown to the point of requiring more land, the Channings have had to face the prospect of reconciling their high ideals and their low income. Even if the Channings overcome their ideological reluctance to borrow, more practical questions remain—like where they'll find financing.
(Really) Slow Money
The search for financing is what drew some 25 small-business owners to a two-hour "Realities of Financing" workshop at the Santa Fe Business Incubator this past February. Produced by the Women's Economic Self-Sufficiency Team (WESST), a nonprofit economic development organization aligned with the Small Business Administration, the workshop featured a panel of local lenders, among them ACCION, Capital Bank and The Loan Fund.
Advice and empathy flowed freely. Capital, however, did not. Panel members heaped on the encouragement and platitudes but, by the time the Q&A session rolled around, the "loan luncheon" left an aftertaste of rejection.
One attendee, a volunteer with SCORE, the free business counseling service, expressed his frustration. "Our clients are hitting a brick wall," he said. "We've helped them prepare a business plan and sent them out to lenders to get some money, but there's no money to be had!"
Friends, fools and family
According to Michael Schafer, managing partner at New Mexico Community Capital, many investors are more interested in good ideas than business plans. "Most of your investors are looking eye-to-eye across the table. They don't require a business plan," he says. "Traditional lenders are required to see one, but most start-ups get their capital from friends, fools and family."
Such was the case with Nathan Gonzales, the founder of Southwest Bio Fuels, based in Albuquerque. A mechanic in the family trucking business since age 8, Gonzales, now 28, learned how to convert vegetable oil into biodiesel while in the Army. Using homemade biodiesel in the family's fleet came naturally, but his dream of building a biodiesel plant from scratch was something else entirely.
"Making biofuel is easy, but making it right is hard," he says. "There's 1,001 ways to do this, most all of them are incorrect."
To raise the $400,000 he needed to make his plant a reality, Gonzales turned to a variety of sources. The first $200,000 came from his father and an SBA "patriot loan," while LANL's Venture Acceleration Fund and an "angel investor" from Taos kicked in the rest. Now up and running, Gonzales says he'll have a network of 300 restaurants supplying oil by this summer, enabling him to sell biodiesel to clients like University of New Mexico for 18 to 20 cents per gallon less than conventional diesel.
World class
At the upper end of New Mexico's investment ladder is water treatment company MIOX. MIOX's chemical-free water purification technology can be found all over the world, from hand-held units employed in disaster areas like Haiti to massive room-size units installed in luxury hotels and cruise ships.
Having raised some $42 million (including investment by NMCC), the 15-year-old firm is by all accounts the state's largest venture-capital-backed company. Chief Executive Officer Carlos Perea notes MIOX has had to reach well beyond local "friends, fools and family" to grow.
"To be a world-class company, you need world-class investors and management," he says. This often means finding capital and talent outside the state. And, as New Mexico isn't the most centrally located place for a global corporation, MIOX opened a second office in Philadelphia in 2009.
Despite these issues, Perea stresses that MIOX is, at its core, a New Mexico company.
"One of our board members is a New Mexico-based venture capitalist. And we've always had a desire to employ people in New Mexico," he says.
"As a New Mexican, I want to see us create an explosive economy here. There's no reason we can't be competitive."
Each of these New Mexico start-ups are rooted more heavily in social capital and community wealth than in status quo financing schemes. Building a farm on a shoestring or a biofuel plant from a dream or a multinational with a mission all require that entrepreneurs first invest in their own communities before collecting returns.
That's hatching your chickens before they're counted.

The Common Cause of the Jewish People
Almost immediately on the outbreak of the First World War the leaders of the major Jewish groups in America began to prepare for the securing of Jewish rights at the forthcoming peace conference. The Zionists led in the organization of the first American Jewish Congress. Following is an address delivered by Justice Brandeis on January 24, 1916 before a mass meeting in Carnegie Hall called by the Jewish Congress Organization Committee of which he was chairman.
Five weeks ago many of you met in this hall to consider the misery of the Jews in the war zone, and to aid in relief measures. This week, under the proclamation of our President, a special effort will be made throughout the United States to raise funds for that purpose. The need is urgent. The matter is one of life or death. To give quickly and to give generously is imperative. Each of you doubtless will do this. For you must realize that the relief funds, though large, will still leave thousands of our brethren in danger of starvation.
But though we may give ever so generously in money, we shall still fail to do our part in this great crisis unless we seek not merely to alleviate the suffering of individual Jews, but to end the wrongs to the Jewish people. We cannot cope with individual suffering unless we succeed in removing the cause of that suffering. And the fundamental cause of Jewish misery is not the war. The war is but an accident which has made the long existing misery obvious to the whole world. The war has acted as a magnifying glass, intensifying the suffering in some places ten or a hundred fold; so that now none, except the blind, can fail to see it.
The underlying cause of Jewish misery is ever the same. It is now the same as it was before the war. And after the war is over, the misery will continue further, unless the conditions under which more than one half the Jews of the world live are radically changed. In order to end the misery an end must be put to injustice, an end to oppression, an end to denial of opportunity. The oppression and discrimination before and during the war was and is so extreme as to make one marvel that living has been possible at all. It was oppression and unjust discrimination which brought the great masses of Russian Jews to the verge of destitution, in which the commencement of the war found them and which plunged them into starvation when the war came. It was prejudice and unjust discrimination which exposed the Jews during the war to the unnecessary hardships of hostile treatment among their own countrymen.
But the war brings amidst its horrors at least one compensation to the whole world and particularly to the Jews. It forces the world to lay aside makeshifts; to seek ultimate truths; to deal with fundamentals. We long for peace; but we begin to see that neither international congresses and courts, nor disarmament can secure peace. Peace can exist only in a world where justice and good will reign. Justice and good will involve not merely toleration of differences, but the grant of full rights, despite differences. There must be justice and good will not only between individuals, but between different peoples. All peoples must have equal rights....
The war is awakening the more fortunately situated Jews from their torpor. It is bringing them to the realization of fundamental truths which a sorrowful past had obscured. Living in various lands as minorities during the eighteen centuries of dispersion; whirled like human flotsam sometimes by eddies away from the main stream, sometimes helplessly down the rapids, Jews had too often come to regard their misery as inevitable, and themselves as individuals merely. Those individuals to whom good fortune came, rejoiced, and the others, habituated to sorrow, were prone to bear philosophically evils which through long persistence had come to be looked upon as unavoidable.
The World War has brought their monstrous condition into clear relief. Intense suffering came; but with it, hope and courage. The awakening brings also recognition that the rights of the Jewish people can be gained only by traveling the same road which other peoples travel, the road of democracy, through the people's asserting their own authority in their own interest. The demand for democracy in the consideration of the Jewish problem is not a matter of form. It is of the essence. It is a fundamental Jewish conception, as it is the basic American method. It rests upon the essential trust in the moral instincts of the people; potent to create their own wellbeing; to perfect it; and to maintain it, if an opportunity is given.
Among Theodor Herzl's contributions to our understanding of the Jewish problem are these:
First: The recognition of the fundamental fact that the Jews are a people -one people.
Second: The recognition of the political truth that the emancipation of the Jews can come only through themselves; that is, by democratic means.
That the Jews are a people was a well-known fact long before Herzl's time; but it had been submerged by the multiform individual struggle for Jewish existence. That emancipation could come only through the Jews themselves had also been clearly stated before Herzl's time; but it was Herzl who made clear the essential democratic means when he called the first Congress.
It is eight months since the movement for an American Jewish Congress was actively organized. To some it seems that the movement has proceeded slowly. But when we consider the obstacles which had to be overcome, the progress must be deemed rapid. The time spent in discussion, which some have called controversy, was time well spent. Discussion has educated the Jews of America.
It has taught them the need, the character and the purpose of the Congress. Week by week, as this process of education was continued, opposition yielded ever more to reasoning, and former opponents declared their adhesion to the Congress idea.
In the eight months since the Congress Organization Committee was formed practically all save one of the important national Jewish organizations have declared their approval of holding a Congress; and in 72 cities general committees have been formed in which, for the first time in the history of America, the many local Jewish organizations have combined with a view to the solution of the Jewish problem. There are still differences of opinion as to the powers which the Congress shall exercise when it convenes, and as to the time and manner of assembling. But the fundamental idea has passed beyond the stage of controversy. It is accepted by the Jews of America.
To estimate truly how great is this achievement, we must bear in mind that it is only eighteen years since delegates, representing Jews from all parts of the world, gathered together in an open Congress to discuss the Jewish Problem. That was at the Basel Congress of 1897, called under the inspiration of Theodor Herzl. For centuries Jews had been forced by circumstances to abandon their own traditions of democracy inherited from their fathers and expressed in the Hebrew Commonwealth, and to seek protection not through the methods of free and open discussion, and the development of public opinion, but by secret and indirect means through the efforts of individuals who had or were supposed to have influence. When one considers the tremendous force of long continued habit and the tendency of oppression to breed methods of indirection, it is easy to understand the misgivings even of able and public-spirited men and women, who long opposed the Congress because they feared to have discussed in public the Jewish Problem, which had heretofore been discussed only in private. The opposition of conservative-minded men, accustomed to the caution which heavy responsibility ordinarily entails, was natural. Patient consideration of the objections was appropriate. But it was also clear that if America can aid materially in the attainment of Jewish rights, it will be only through those forces which an open Congress can mobilize.
Absence of discord does not imply unity. Absence of discord may be due to indifference. Unity implies interest and participation. There may be acquiescence in the decision of a self-constituted body purporting to act on behalf of a free people. But there cannot be unity of action of a free people, unless the decision is the act of that people participating through its properly constituted representatives.
What is demanded of the Jewish people is action, not acquiescence. We must seek to put an end to those conditions which through the centuries, and not merely during this war, have brought misery and suffering to the Jews. The position of the Jew is not entirely unique. The history of the Bohemians, the Poles, and several other Slavic races, provides remarkable parallels, and among all these nationalities hopes are now high that in the peace that will follow the war their elemental wrongs will be righted. We have not made less, but more sacrifices than they have, and are justified in expecting that our elemental wrongs, too, will be righted. But we must be first in making our wrongs known, and be ready to take action which will be the result of our careful deliberation and a thorough understanding of the situation.
We can do this only if the Jews of America will that those conditions shall end; and undertake to express that will through action. What this action shall be involves decisions which are both difficult and serious; decision on which reasonable men will necessarily differ. The Jews are a people of thinkers; and they have a passion for freedom. If we acquiesce in decisions made for us and not by us, it can only be because we are practically indifferent; because we do not care, or at all events, do not care enough to assert our views, we certainly shall not care enough to make the sacrifices necessarily involved in saving our brethren, and solving the problem of the Jewish people.
There is a large number of Jews in America who are not indifferent to the suffering of their brethren abroad, or to the injustice to which they are subjected. There is a large number of Jews in America who are eager that something should be done to remove the causes of their brethren's misery. These Americans have views differing widely from one another as to what can be done, and what ought to be done, and how it should be done. They ask to be heard on these questions through their duly constituted representatives; and they ask also to hear the views of others in order that the different proposals may be subjected to the test of public criticism. They deem it necessary that in view of the grave and difficult problems involved, the minds not of a few, but of many, should be turned towards their solution. It is for these reasons, among others, that they have demanded a Congress, and have demanded that it be convened on a democratic basis, and that the proceedings shall be made public. The deliberations of such a Congress would be enriched by the public discussion from others who are not delegates to it. And the Congress itself will create needed public opinion in support of the measures which it determines upon.
But the Congress is essential also for other reasons. Besides those Jews who have already given evidence of their readiness to aid in remedying the condition of their brethren, there are many in America whom the present need of action has failed to rouse. They are indifferent largely through lack of knowledge. We have such faith in our people as to believe that, with most of them, knowledge will overcome indifference and will lead to active participation in the effort to solve our people's problem. We must bring home the situation to those seemingly indifferent and make clear to them, not merely the intensity of existing suffering, but also that they can playa part in ending it, and indeed that they must do their part or we cannot succeed. And for the awakening of interest the Congress is a necessary means.
The Congress is not an end in itself. It is an incident of the organization of the Jewish people, an instrument through which their will may be ascertained, and when ascertained, may be carried out. In order that their will may be ascertained truly the Congress must be democratically representative. In order that their will may be carried into effect, the decision of their delegates must be supported by Jewish public opinion, intelligent, widespread, and expressive of deep conviction. In order that the decision may be the wisest possible, the Congress must be preceded by general public discussion of the measures proposed. The decision must embody the wisdom, not of the few, however able and public-spirited, but the thought and judgment of the whole people. The support must be active; it must be financial as well as moral. It must be the support of the million, not of the few generous, philanthropic millionaires. In order that the support may be adequate, the Congress must also be preceded by such organization of the Jews of America as will ensure their cooperation in carrying out such measures as shall be decided upon. The Congress is not to be an exalted mass-meeting. It is to be the effective instrument of organized Jewry of America.
It cannot be effective if its functions are limited to the passing of resolutions, however carefully framed. Those whom the Congress authorizes to act for the Jewish people must have the actual support of the Jews of America. They must not only be prepared to act, but must be supplied with the means to do so.
First: The Congress, by creating spokesmen for American Israel who are representative, will provide a body through which the Jews of America, as the only great neutral group of Jews, may not only authoritatively address other Governments, but may be so addressed by other Governments desirous of dealing with representatives of the whole Jewish people.
Second: Our demands may not be extravagant. Even the language used must be temperate. But the Jews can properly ask that throughout Europe, Asia and Africa their rights be acknowledged. The Congress will have to work out those basic ideas according to two fixed democratic principles: It should recognize the conception of needs as experienced by the Jews in the various lands in which they live, and the political circumstances in which great groups of Jews find themselves at the end of the war. It must, of course, recognize and act according to what it may find to be in accord with the general will and the feasible program. But the Congress must go a great step further. Mere protest or manifesto will bring no achievement. The Congress will elect men to be its spokesmen, men who will accept its mandate. But these men must be supplied with more than authorization. The Congress must create the machinery which will assure that what these spokesmen promise will be fulfilled, and that whatever gains the treaty of peace may exhibit will be maintained by the united effort of the Jews.
How much we have to do in order to realize the seriousness of this latter task, we may learn from our experience with the Rumanian Jewish Tolerance Clause in the Berlin Treaty of 1878, which had been so eagerly worked for, and was so widely rejoiced over. It would have been infinitely better if that provision for equality for the Jews in Romania had not been written, because the scorn with which Romania treated it exposed the helplessness of the Jews to the world. Had the machinery of the organized Jews existed, Romania would have been compelled to keep her word.
Through the Congress we must secure that power in men, in ability, in influence and in money necessary to maintain any gains that may be made.
Third: The Congress will have the further effect of creating unity in American Jewry, without which achievement abroad is impossible. Unity will develop because the minority will cooperate with the majority to attain the common end when the judgment and will of the majority has been democratically ascertained. That is in accordance with American methods and the demands of loyalty. The impotence of three million Jews of America to aid their brethren abroad should not surprise us. With over ten thousand separate Jewish organizations, each formed for a limited purpose and serving its individual policies, there has been no effective cooperation on the large problem of Jewish life. The organizations largely overlapped one another, and inevitably clashed when broader problems were involved. And no means existed of composing the discord. There could be no effective cooperation because there was no coordination. The Congress, in developing the practice of unity through the yielding of the minority to the will of the majority, cannot fail to immensely simplify, develop and strengthen the forces in American Jewish life.
Dr. Nordau said some time ago that the Jews are a "miracle people," meaning by that that they expected results like freedom to be obtained without the resort to the means by which results would naturally be secured. It is indeed extraordinary that the Jews should entertain such an idea. For there is no people in the world in which the individual members are more conscious of the fact that success is the result of persistent effort. No Jew expects any results for himself by miracle. He expects to work for them, and the Jew so frequently obtains results because he does work for them. It is the persistence of the individual Jew; his willingness to exert himself; to forego pleasure and to undergo pain, to brave dangers, and submit to sacrifice, that wins his individual successes. But when the Jews have sought results for the whole people, they seem to have forgotten the lessons of everyday life. They have lacked the statesmanlike quality which should bring them together; each saying: "I as one of the people will join with each and every other member of my people to attain the end in which the whole people is interested, and as such I will make the necessary sacrifices so that our great end may be achieved.
What we need, therefore, is that the Jews individually shall, for the common cause of the Jewish people, be ready to make sacrifices like those which they are always making in order to attain their individual successes. When Jews are ready to do that the three million Jews of America with their high intelligence and strong will cannot fail to have a great effect in ameliorating the condition of their brethren in other lands. Patience may be necessary as well as persistence. But patience, persistence and devotion will accomplish sooner or later, in one way or another, the great end we have in view. The purpose of our deliberation, when we come together in conference and in Congress, must be to discover the best way to proceed in order soonest to attain that end. But it will never be attained unless the individual Jew is willing to make such sacrifices in time, in effort, and in money.
The great Jewish inheritance and the great American inheritance demand that each and everyone should specially pledge himself to work for that end.
Zionism Brings Understanding and Happiness
Following a strenuous and extended fight, the Senate confirmed Brandeis's appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States on June 1, 1916. The induction took place four days later. The following is the first statement on Zionism issued by Brandeis after his appointment to the Supreme Court. It was made in acknowledgment of a testimonial signed by 10,000 Zionists and presented to him on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, November 13, 1916.
The few years which cover my real activity in Zionist affairs have been rich in their gifts to me. They brought me understanding and happiness. This meeting is in line with what I have before experienced. I might also say, in line with what I have always experienced while working with others in the Zionist Cause. For my experience belies what I had been told, before I entered the ranks. I had been told of endless dissensions among Jews. I had been told of their unwillingness to work together, of the impossibility of uniting them for a common cause. But in the whole period during which I presided in the Provisional Committee, I never had occasion to complain of lack of loyalty to the cause, to the work which I was endeavoring to further or to myself.
The last seven weeks which have separated me from that daily participation in the work of the Zionists, have not left me without knowledge of what is occurring. Conferences with Jacob de Haas, who was active originally in bringing me into the Cause, and upon whose wisdom and devotion and experience I have relied so much, and daily reports from the office have kept me in touch with what is going on. There may be many details which I do not know with that accuracy with which I knew them when I was at the Zionist office every week and had Zionist conferences every day. But I do feel, in a general way, fully advised; and the aloofness of those seven weeks, the distance incident to residence in Washington, may perhaps enable me to see with greater clearness our opportunities, our necessities, and our dangers.
I feel more than ever, that the opportunities are very great, greater than at any time in eighteen centuries. The world is with us, that is, the non-Jewish world. Whether the Jewish world will be with us will depend very largely upon the Zionists themselves. But the responsibility for success or failure will rest, not upon anti-Zionists or non-Zionists. It will rest upon ourselves. The loyalty, the wisdom, the virtues of the relatively few who have declared their conviction of the truth of Zionism will determine whether the future shall bring success or failure.
Members, Money, Discipline
This brief note is an excellent example of Justice Brandeis's ability to convey much meaning in a few words. It was addressed to Morris Rothenberg, then Chairman of the Zionist Council of Greater New York, on the occasion of the Council's Eleventh Annual Convention on February 18, 1917.
Please extend my greetings to your Council at its annual meeting and tell them that they can prove themselves good Zionists only by producing Members, Money, Discipline.'
The Time Is Urgent
Due to the War there had been no international Zionist gathering for nearly seven years since the Eleventh Zionist Congress, which met in Vienna in 1913. Finally, a "Small Congress" (international conference of the Actions Committee held in off-Congress years) took place in London, July 7-22; 1920. Its purpose was to consider the manifold problems facing Zionism in its new stage of realization which commenced with the issuance of the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917. Following is an address delivered by Justice Brandeis at the opening session of the London Conference on July 7, 1920.
A great opportunity has come to the Jewish people. We, its representatives, are gathered here to consider and to determine how best we may avail ourselves of that opportunity. The work of the great Herzl was completed at San Remo. The effort to acquire the public recognition of the Jewish Homeland in Palestine, for which he lived and died, has been crowned with success. The nations of the world have made that recognition. They have done all that they could do. The rest lies with us. The task before us is the Jewish settlement of Palestine. It is the task of reconstruction. We must approve the plans on which the reconstruction shall proceed. We must create the executive and administrative machinery adapted to the work before us. We must select men of the training, the experience and the character fitted to conduct that work. And finally we must devise ways and means to raise the huge sums which the undertaking demands. For without these funds, the best of plans, perfect machinery, the most capable of devoted men, will avail us naught and the noble purpose which we have set ourselves would be defeated.
The task is heavy. The problems are many. The difficulties are serious. But the problem can be solved, the difficulties can be overcome. And they will be. Of this we have assurance in notable achievements, wrought by determination and self-sacrifice throughout the long centuries of adversity. This new task will be different. Though the burden is heavy it will be joyously borne. For we shall be buoyed up by the spiritual appeal and the irresistible beauty of Palestine. We shall toil on confident and with the eager impulse for justice for all. There will be developed a new Jewish civilization worthy of the Jewish past, worthy of the aspirations for the future. And from the old Home, restored in fulfillment of prayers and striving, there will go out again to the world in all its troubles the light for which nations will bless Israel again.
Now is the time for action, for service, and for sacrifice, service and sacrifice directed by understanding. In that service and sacrifice every Jew must be made to bear his part. Let us proceed, for the time is urgent.

My name is Jess, although online most know me as Silver or Silverywitch. Recently moved to Florida to be closer to my family and am still adjusting. I still miss California. I am a complete computer junkie and spend my time working or playing WoW or any game I can get my hands on. When Im not sucked into my computer, I spend every spare moment I can with my daughter Kaitlin, husband Jay and our baby boy Michael.
I have always had a passion for art. For as long as I can remember I have been expressing my visions, emotions, and deep sense of wonder through poetry and art. I discovered digital art and have been dabbling with it ever since and constantly learning all that I can. I started out tinkering around with Photoshop for quite awhile, never really knowing what I wanted to do with it and just having fun trying different things out. Then I stumbled upon digital and 3D design and have been hooked ever since.
I am a coven trained Priestess of Wicca in a tradition that is a blend of Gardernarian/Alexandrian with a Celtic flair. I have been pagan for a very long time and once I discovered Wicca I was excited to realize there was a religion that shared the same beliefs that I had always had as a child.
My life is a constant quest for knowledge and spiritual growth. It is my privilege to share my wisdom and gifts with you.
Brightest Blessings,Silver

I officially turned 27 years old on Monday. EEK! I can't believe I am almost 30. It seems like yesterday when I was dying to be 18 or 21 years old to do the "cool things". My dad called me to greet me and gave me the "So when are you getting married/having kids" talk, yada, yada, yada. "Only if it's Edward Cullen dad" Haha. The BF's mom gave me the same talk too! Getting married and having a family isn't happening anytime soon, LOL. I am too busy having fun and enjoying life, not to say that marriage and kids don't enhance that aspect because I DO want to be a mom and a wife eventually, but its fun to have these years to find new things about yourself, learn new things. For instance, I NEVER liked avocados or guacamole, and only recently I have taken a liking to them, to the point where I actually bought a couple of avocados at the grocery, cut them open, sprinkled some black pepper, lemon and lime, and a pinch of salt- and ate it as is. And it was delicious!
So turning 27 has this placebo effect on me where it's this sense of new beginnings in my life, look towards the positive, and just go out there and do something that is so outside yourself; outside your realm of habit and comfort.
One thing I love when it's your birthday- are all the cool discounts and free things you get from random places; like Baskin Robbins (you get a free scoop of ice cream), Sephora, and you get in free to Disneyland! Even though the original plan was to spend my bday at Disneyland, the BF decided I could use a day at the spa instead which sounded A LOT better than Disneyland since I was dying for a massage. And because it was my bday I got in for FREE!
We didn't do the mud bath even though I was so tempted to, just because I didn't want to get dirty and deal with having to rinse that all off, so we stuck to the mineral baths, the pools, etc. Just enjoying the sun and getting a little color. Then we did a couple's Swedish massage which was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Seriously if you are looking for a great gift to give someone or to yourself, definitely go to a spa and get a massage! I did not want to leave!
The BF was just incredibly sweet, he got me a pink iPod nano to replace my really old one only held like 120 songs, so I am glad the new one can hold way more than that so I don't have to delete songs! And we had dinner at one of our "spots"- Red Lobster. Then dinner with a few friends on Sunday so it should be fun before the crazy schedule really begins.
Sadly I went back to work yesterday missing the spa terribly, and my co-worker Diana (who is seriously great at baking and making the best desserts) made me a chocolate raspberry cake with chocolate mousse frosting! It was sooooooo yummy I had to break my diet for it! LOL. And of course Edward was there too to help me enjoy my cake!

Officially 27 years old at Glen Ivy!

Happy 27th Birthday! Looks and sounds like you had fun :)
I agree with getting older though, it is a new beginning and there is so much out there to do before you want to start a family, so you could share your experiences WITH your children... I'm waiting till my later 20's or early 30s to have children... :)

Belated Happy Birthday, Vanessa!! It looks like you had an amazing birthday. I'm in desperate need of a spa day too! A massage sounds perfect right now. ;)
I totally agree with you about the marriage thing. I'm not planning to get married & have kids til I'm in my 30s. Everyone around me is saying that's too old... but right now I think I'm too young! I, too, am still learning about myself & I just want to enjoy life the way it is. I love your way of thinking, hun!

The Brick House
Not anymore.
As a season ticket holder, I got an email today with diagrams of what the new stadium will look like. Put it this way, instead of "The Big House" they might as well change the nickname to "The Brick House."
Just seems like it's lost all it's character.
Granted, the new design will probably make it "louder" for those who say it's the "shape of the stadium" that usually gives Michigan one of the least valuable home field advantages in major college football. But, as much as that tantalizes me, I just don't think -- at least from these drawings -- that it keeps enough of the "essence" of what Michigan fans (and college football fans around America) have grown to love about the "hole that Yost dug" way back in the 1920s.
When Ohio State upgraded The 'Shoe a few years back, the end result was an improved stadium (those old bleacher in the open end where they stuck Michigan fans sucked ass!) that, make no doubt about it, is still The 'Shoe. It didn't lose that what made it unique.
Unfortunately, upon first blush, this new-fangled Michigan Stadium appears to jetison just that. The beauty of that wonderful place at the corner of Stadium and Main was a structure that, upon first approaching, didn't seem that impressive because it wasn't that "big" from the outside. A visitor might think, "This place holds 110,000?"
Yet, upon entering through one of the tunnels and seeing Yost's vision unfurl in front of you for the first time was truly something to behold.
My fear is that this new design cancels out that most special of elements.

Really? I think it looks incredible. Waaaaaaayyy better than I was expecting. Looks like it'll be an imposing edifice with a classic look.
- October 20, 2006 12:48 AM
I don't like it! It kills the appearance of the outside of the Big House. I much prefer the "Big House" plan mentioned here. It's even being promoted by Yost's grandson! (Didn't know you were that old, Yost!)
- October 20, 2006 2:46 AM
i just really want the 2nd tier to be completely surrounding the stadium rather than a high wall on the E and W sides. a ring of boxes would lookbetter
- October 20, 2006 6:33 AM
I'm with Robert, I think those designs are great. Remniscent of old Soldier Field. (Not to mention it will match the brick fence currently surrounding the stadium)
And Yost, from the outside it still won't look like it holds 110,000. But it also won't look like a crappy high school field either.
- October 20, 2006 8:05 AM
I like it. It's classy and classic (that M inset into the fence is very 1940s). Renovations are going to be done; this matches the architectural style of many many other buildings around campus and I think it looks fantastic.
- October 20, 2006 8:21 AM
I detect a new theme song for the new stadium.
She's a Brick House,
she's mighty mighty,
lettin it all hang out.
Oh yea! That she could be that whore Ann Arbor. It would fit perfectly.
- October 20, 2006 9:10 AM
- MGOBLUE94 said...
I love it! Now add on the 2nd deck to the North and South end! We will be seating 150,000+ for a game!
- October 20, 2006 9:31 AM
I agree with you Yost. I have supported the idea of renovations in the past, but these designs don't do it for me.
In the stadium FAQs, they say "We will make certain that the new structures are designed in a manner that respects the tradition and character of the stadium."
Someone please tell me how two giant walls that do not blend with the current stadium "respects the ...character of the stadium"
- October 20, 2006 9:33 AM
I agree with Yost. I wish I had pictures of the newly-finished remodelling of Kinnick Stadium over here in Iowa City. Beautiful new brickwork, great "grand-entrance" look behind the south end zone, and nothing like the glass walkways in the Big House plans.
- October 20, 2006 9:33 AM
- jahowie said...
I'm almost afraid to say it, but I like it. Yost's vision was grand and it served it's time. Renovations are needed for the greatest stadium in the country to be more modern and fan friendly yet keeping it in the old style with the brick is right on!! Go Blue!!

Looks like a cross between a shopping mall and some shitty set design from "Gladiator."
- October 20, 2006 9:55 AM
- CrimeNotes said...
Also, per quotes in the Daily, brick is apparently an "iconic" material.
"Many, many of the e-mails we received when we asked for input on our website said 'You've gotta make it brick,' " Martin said. "Brick is a common, long-lasting, traditional material. Michigan Stadium is iconic to us all, so we had to use iconic materials."
This is so half-assed.
- October 20, 2006 9:58 AM
Yost, get over it! There is nothing, repeat nothing to wax poetically about the current stadium design. It is a freaking hole in ground with high school bleachers and cheesy metal siding around the perimeter. The press box is an embarassment from the '50s school of "modern" design. All of this romantic crap about the "experience" inside the stadium is a bunch of hoey. It's about the product on the field. And if you want to maintain THAT tradition, you better bring your facilities up to the stadards of your competitors and get on with it!
- October 20, 2006 10:00 AM
Texas-ex here. The Big House is the only stadium in the country where I want to see a game in person one of these days.
- October 20, 2006 10:10 AM
- harry hasselhoff said...
I agree with Anon 7:00 AM - while I love what the Big House stands for, take the Michigan football away from it and its a big hole in the ground with lame looking corrugated-metal siding and a pressbox that appears to be supported by nothing other than force of habit.
The new plans are about as good as I could've expected. I don't know what the rest of you were expecting, but would you be happy if Calatrava or Gehry designed some avant garde swooping, turning metal design for Michigan Stadium? In a liberal town like A2, there's nothing more (rightfully) conservative than the tradition of Michigan Football, and the stadium ought to reflect that - and in this design, it does.
- October 20, 2006 10:41 AM
- Scott said...
The decision to go with brick is not "half-assed." Most of Michigan's better looking buildings were designed by Albert Kahn and they're brick (Grad Library, Hill Auditorium.) The Athletic building have tried to mimic this (Yost Ice Arena, IM Building.) If you need more convincing, check out the Michigan Stadium looked like when it opened in 1927.
- October 20, 2006 10:51 AM
- CrimeNotes said...
Yeah, I wasn't doubting the existence of brick on Michigan's campus, or its appropriateness as a building material. That would make no sense. I just thought it was laughable that people are patting themselves on the back for using bricks, as though somehow annexing this shopping mall to Michigan Stadium keeps with tradition because said shopping mall is made of bricks.
- October 20, 2006 11:11 AM
i agree with anon 0700. we wax poetic about the classic virtues of bowl design because it numbs the pain of ohio stadium totally kicking our ass. we play football in the middle of a freakin' dish garnished with aluminum siding. the new designs at least tie the structure in with the rest of the athletic campus. yost fieldhouse = classic. im building = classic. new baseball stadium = modern classic. current michigan stadium = tacky. the best parts of the current stadium is the peripheral brickwork and the block M scoreboards.
of course, the best upgrade would be dig a deeper whole such that the stadium actually retains sound. but that's never going to happen.
- October 20, 2006 11:13 AM
it's not the brick that bothers me, it's those huge staircases on either side of the arches and columns. Taller, all glass. They don't fit with the new brick or the old stadium.
If they could do something better with the staircases, I think it would look a lot better.
- October 20, 2006 11:33 AM
Those bookend glass straircases blow.
Why the glass? To protect the fans from the elements?
The brick on the renovations at Notre Dame look good, traditonal and keep the appearance of a bowl.
I think ND stadium was originally a copy of Michigan Stadium.
- October 20, 2006 12:44 PM
The scale is fantastic. Keep in mind the brick arch theme will wrap around the end zones in some year in the future when they add the second level to the end zones. Totally circling the stadium it will look like nothing else and will be simply awesome! Much better than the stupid and chep looking blue metal that you see now.
- October 20, 2006 12:51 PM
I love it! I remember my first trip to michigan in '85. I remember that I was'nt that impressed with the outside of the stadium. Once I went inside I was amaized at the size of our big house. The renovations are needed not just for the ammenities but also for the impact it will have on recruiting. No more "BIG QUIET HOUSE"
- October 20, 2006 2:46 PM
- Papa Steve said...
Sorry man, I have to say I love the new design. I can't see much value in retaingin the feel of a giant aluminum dish/bowl sunk into a hill. At least if our fans can't be imposing inside, then let the outside be a llittle bit so.
I hope they add some kind of grandiose entrance/gateway at the ends at some point. It would be a very cool spectacle indeed.
- October 20, 2006 2:54 PM
First off, this is a great site.
As a 50 plus year Gator fan, I have watched the swamp evolve to a unique venue with a lot of quirks. This is what college stadiums are all about.
I think this will give the "Big House" a new look and something other than the oval look. Hope to get there for a game someday.

- The King said...
I'm for it. Our stadium currently has no architectural identity whatsoever. This design has a certain uniqueness to it that marries Yost's original vision to a "classic" new look that, in 100 years, will be instantly recognizable and special.
- October 20, 2006 4:13 PM
I thought you already renovated. I read about it here http://www.theonion.com/content/node/52042
- October 20, 2006 4:23 PM
Oh god - it's the stadium equivalent of a McMansion.
- October 20, 2006 5:22 PM
How can anyone not like it? The current outside of the stadium is just the underside of bleachers. The new design will still only be about 4 stories tall and you'll still get the sense of awe when walking through a gate as 110,000 seats open beneath you.
- October 20, 2006 5:51 PM
Hmmm. I like brick, I agree that there is nothing interesting at all about the current design, yet I can't say that I like the new design either. The new part looks like a separate building attached to the new one. So...now we can see the bottom of the bleachers through the arches....I think it would be better if the part you see through the arches looked like the same building.
- October 20, 2006 6:39 PM
I love the new design. Compare it with this current view of the east side of the stadium:
As you can see that brickwork is *already* featured in the stadium. And I'm sorry, but blue aluminum siding hardly screams "tradition" to me. Quite frankly, I think the stadium is currently quite ugly from the outside. The new proposal will dignify it a great deal.
- October 20, 2006 7:20 PM
- Zippy said...
Barf. The old girl does need a facelift, and the decision is long past the point where material changes or alternative plans have any actual hope of succeeding.
TPTB sure as hell better not sacrifice M's attendance superiority for this thing.
It could be worse (see Soldier Field), and the design is better conceived than the halo.
They should keep the capacity at >=107,501 exclusive of the fat f***s in the Bourgeoisie shrines, er, "luxury" boxes. Those Bushwood folks are dead to me.
- October 20, 2006 7:38 PM
- Ali Haji-Sheikh said...
Yost, as much as I agree with you on the experience you have when you walk into the bowl for the first time after seeing only a two-story exterior, that shock only happens once. After that, Michigan Stadium (except for the brick parts on the East side) looks terrible from the outside. The only thing I would get rid of are the cheesy, weak looking, skinny wrought-iron "M"s on the fences. Either use the solid block M (not the one with the "Michigan" horizontal text box in it) or use the University seal like on the gates down to the field inside the Stadium.
- October 20, 2006 8:12 PM
- PeckHorn78 said...
The blue aluminum siding is the result of the stadium outgrowing its original brickwork. The prelim designs look very good to me- the structure needs to be put back in scale again, and hopefully it will do something to make the interior of the stadium more "alive" sonically. Either way, it's long overdue, and at least it is not an ugly halo. You can put me in the 1+ column.
- October 20, 2006 8:43 PM
- Q1Go said...
I like the brick - I don't know how many of you have come into the stadium through the tunnel and on to the field, but the first thing you see after grass is the beautiful brick circle around the perimeter of the field. Now the outside of the stadium will incorporate that element as well.
- October 20, 2006 8:47 PM
Reminds me of a modern take on Illinois' Memorial Stadium... http://www.athletics.uiuc.edu/renaissance/gallery/images/w_ext_elevation.gif
- October 20, 2006 9:28 PM
Gotta say, big thumbs up, I really like the plan.
- October 21, 2006 12:03 AM
I think it looks great... better than the yellow ring around the top from the Martin daze.
My wife is from the East and when we went to our first game together, she knew Michigan was the biggest stadium out there... unitl we walked up to it... she said, "that's it???"
Perhaps the brick and will make it look a little more imposing.
Go Blue!
- October 21, 2006 12:56 AM
That is freakin' amazing! I totally love it!

Real Estate 101 - Bricks = good.
I think it looks great, an imposing feel to it. I also like Ford Field, and the classic look that bricks have provided that stadium
- October 21, 2006 3:13 PM
As an avid reader of this site and someone who happens to hold a degree in Architecture from the University of Michigan, I must say that I think the proposed design is very good. It is most reminiscent of the IM Building next to Ferry Field, our Wolverines first home. I agree the stair towers need a little tweaking, but overall I'm thrilled with the look. Yost, your affinity for the stadium's current look is way off base It looks like dump and is embarrassing. Are you one of those guys that has a beat up rusty Nova with a stump-pulling 454 under the hood? Personally, I don't care for sleepers. I want our stadium to be an awe-inspring site the moment you see it.
- October 22, 2006 2:03 AM
- Yost said...
Leave my Nova out of it.
- October 22, 2006 2:14 AM
Keep up the good work, Michigan brother.
- October 22, 2006 11:47 AM
I'm surprised that nobody else expressed their concern that the architectural firm that is designing our stadium also designed none other than... Ohio State's stadium

Hendersonville senior Hailey Cook named state's top girls athlete at the NCHSAA Annual Meeting on Thursday in Chapel Hill.
For the first time since 2005, an area high school athlete has been awarded the top honor given by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.
At the NCHSAA's annual meeting on Thursday at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, Hendersonville senior track and field and volleyball standout Hailey Cook was named the recipient of the state's Female Athlete of the Year award.
The last area girls athlete to receive the NCHSAA's Pat Best Memorial Trophy was former West Henderson High standout Jesse Sims, who won the award in 2005. The only other area female athlete to win the award was former HHS volleyball and basketball standout Molly Pyles in 2001.
"It was an amazing experience, and it was really surreal," Cook said following her Senior Play on Thursday night at around 10 p.m. "I was totally surprised. It's a great honor to win this with so many other great athletes in the state."
She had to be at Hendersonville High at 5:45 a.m. to make the trip to Chapel Hill, but the long day was one she'll never forget.
"This was a really big day, and it was so exciting for all of us. It's a blessing," Mark Cook, Hailey's father, said as he was waiting for his daughter to finish her interview with the media following the meeting. "We actually had no idea we were even in the running for it until about a week ago when we got the notice. I'm so proud... this is a great day for Hailey."
She currently has a school-record 10 state titles to her credit (two team titles and eighth individual titles), and she is heavily favored to win two more individual state titles at the 1-A state track meet later this month.
Her track and field coach all four years of her high school career, Pam Bolton, said all of Cook's hard work paid off.
"I can't imagine anyone else in the state who is more deserving than Hailey to receive this award. She's done so much in her high school career, winning eight individual titles and two team titles. She still has a very good chance of winning two more state titles. I'm just so happy for her," Bolton said.
The HHS track team will be competing Saturday in the 1-A West Regional meet in Cherokee and then next week at N.C. A&T for the state championship meet.
Hailey Cook is headed to Western Carolina, where she will compete in track and field and also get a chance to play volleyball. She earned Most Valuable Player honors in the 1-A state championship volleyball match in the fall, as she helped lead the Lady Bearcats to their state-record 10th state title.
Her personal bests are 141 feet, 8 inches in discus and 45 feet, 1/2 inch in shot put, and both are school records.
Following the ceremony, the Cooks and Bolton had to turn around and make the return trip to Hendersonville for another big event that starts tonight.
"Hailey has three parts in the Senior Play 'Hairspray' that starts tonight, so we have to make it back to the school to get ready for that," Mark Cook said.
This year's NCHSAA Male Athlete of the Year award went to Northern Guilford three-sport star T.J. Logan. Logan led the football team to three straight state titles. In basketball, he was a three-time all-conference selection and averaged 15.5 points per game this season, and in track and field, he earned the 200-meter dash title last year and was runner-up in the 100 dash.
"On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire membership of the NCHSAA, we congratulate these outstanding student-athletes on their tremendous achievements during their high school careers," said Davis Whitfield, commissioner of the NCHSAA. "Both have extremely impressive credentials which are in the same vein as previous winners of this award, and we certainly wish them well in their future pursuits."
There have been just two area athletes who have won the NCHSAA Male Athlete of the Year: Polk County's Jim Ollis in 2004 and Brevard's Manny DeShauteurs in 2000.
