The Top 10 Hottest & Sexiest UFC Octagon Ring Girls
Many UFC fans have emailed us asking us to make a list of the hottest UFC Octagon Ring Girls. We obviously do as our fans want and therefore we rated the 10 hottest and sexiest UFC Ring / Octagon Girls from the past and present. The UFC's Octagon Girls are currently Arianny Celese, Rachelle Leah, Chandella Powell and Brittney Palmer.
#10- Edith Labelle
5'8, 117 lbs. Measurements: 38-25-38
The French Canadian model made brief appearances as a UFC Ring Card Girl. She left the UFC in July of 2009 after UFC 100.
#9- Chandella Powell
5'4, 105 lbs. Measurements: 34-24-34
Powell, the newest Octagon Girl, has been with the promotion since UFC 109.
#8- Amber Nichole Miller
5'9, 125 lbs. Measurements: 34C-25-25
Known as the UFC's first real Octagon Girl, Miller made her debut back at UFC 40. She stayed with the UFC for over four years, but eventually left, and later stated on MySpace that she had issues with Rachelle Leah who she said had, "become a lot better friends with people who could do something for her career."
#7- Natasha Wicks
5'2, 105 lbs. Measurements: 34-25-36
Wicks won a Maxim competition to find the next UFC's Ring Girl and made her first appearance at UFC 101 until her release at UFC 107.
#6- Holly Madison
5'5, 110 lbs. Measurements: 36D-23-36
For just one night, at the historic UFC 100, Madison appeared as a Ring Girl. The famous Playmate and Hugh Hefner's girlfriend has appeared at numerous UFC events as a huge fan.
#5- Rachelle Leah
5'9, 125 lbs. Measurements: 34C-25-25
By the age of 19, Rachelle Leah's photo appeared on a boxing website by the UFC, and she was hired as an Octagon Girl. Leah has appeared on and hosted numerous TV shows, notably Inside the UFC and The Ultimate Fighter. Leah took a break from being an Octagon Girl but continued hosting UFC All Access on Spike TV, which airs a week before a UFC pay-per-view event. She returned to the Octagon at UFC 111.
#4- Logan Stanton
5'10, 115 lbs.
Stanton joined the UFC by UFC 92 and continued on as an Ring Girl until UFC 107 until her release.
#3- Ali Sonoma
5'7, 125 lbs.
Sonoma appeared briefly with the UFC, serving as the Octagon Girl at UFC 66 to 73.
#2- Arianny Celeste
5'6, 110 lbs. Measurements: 34-25-33
Arianny Celeste first appeared in the UFC in 2006 and four years later is recognized as the most popular and widely recognized octagon girl with twice being named Fighter's Only Magazine's 'Ring Girl Of The Year' award.
#1- Brittney Palmer
5'6, 120 lbs.
Palmer, who briefly took a break from being the UFC's Octagon Girl, is back and hotter than ever.
Honorable Mention- Anne Rivera
This former Octagon Girl had a brief stint in the UFC, appearing at UFC 64 all the way until UFC 81.
How about MMA fighter Gina Carano? Carano was formerly the #3 ranked 145-pound fighter in the world according to the United Women's MMA Rankings. She not only knows how to fight, but she certainly knows how to look hot! Would she be one of the hottest Octagon Ring Girls?

Bill. A great range of cameras which I think give this shot a certain unique quality. It's as if it identifies a short period of time when this range of camearas might have appeared in the same shot. It could never be replicated. My guess is early to mid 1950s.
The photogs all seem to be dressed the same way. Are they professional full time press men? My guess is not. Military maybe? I get the impression they are not rivals but maybe a fairly close knit group as you's get in the military.
What are they about to photograph or just have photographed?
The name Werner Bishof gove me no clues as I have never heard of him.
I am interested to hear more about it. Thanks for posting.

The Trendy Discover NoMad Land, And Move In
Published: August 5, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
To hear Ms. Hopper talk about her neighborhood is to hear a rhapsody on food. Todaro Brothers, on Second Avenue near 30th Street, inspired a shopping litany: ''Amazing cheese, fresh fish, great roast chicken, fantastic bread and spiced tuna which I love, from Spain!'' Enthralled by the tuna, she ran to the kitchen and darted back, holding a glass jar as if it were a jewel. ''Ormaza white meat tuna,'' she said. ''The most delicious tuna -- in a glass bottle.''
Kalustyan's, a Middle Eastern food shop on Lexington Avenue near 28th Street, elicited another squeal of joy: ''It makes the best falafel!''
And the restaurants. ''I love I Trulli, I love Tabla, I love Les Halles, which has great meat and a great free-range turkey for Thanksgiving,'' Ms. Hopper said. ''I order it to cook myself. It's the most juicy, amazing turkey, and they'll even make the gravy for you.''
Restaurants of such variety as Pongal, which serves vegetarian Indian dishes, and Eleven Madison Park are no small part of the allure of NoMad. Park Bistro got there in 1989, and Les Halles in 1991, but Mr. Trescher, who has lived at 111 Lexington for 10 years, put it succinctly: ''God bless Danny Meyer.''
Last year, Mr. Meyer, a co-owner of Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern, opened Tabla and Eleven Madison Park. He chose the neighborhood for the same reason others want to live there.
''There's green space, in this case Madison Square Park,'' he said. ''There is gorgeous historic architecture, and the rents are below value compared with the rest of the city. If you were trying to get a retail space on Union Square Park today, you'd be paying $80 to $90 per square foot, and around Madison Square Park it's closer to $40 to $50 a square foot.''
It is a neighborhood that is slowly gentrifying. The City Parks Foundation, a nonprofit group devoted to restoring parks, has raised $2.5 million for projects in Madison Square Park. Statues will be cleaned and waxed, more benches will be installed, and what is mud will become grass. Mr. Meyer contributed $60,000 toward the foundation's $6 million goal.
As in any area with an influx of upscale homesteaders, there are conflicts. The men's shelter at 29th Street and First Avenue is a cause of complaint from some residents, said Stuart Osnow, president of the Rosehill Community Association. ''That leaves a lot of people hanging around the neighborhood,'' he said. He is also badgered about trash on the streets. ''If you go to Murray Hill, the streets are spotless, but here they're not.''
Mr. Bartlett, for one, likes being anonymous in an anonymous neighborhood. ''It's not chic, it's not high-end, there's no draw here,'' he said. ''In the Village, it was very social. I'd walk out, and there'd always be someone I knew.''
Two years ago, he and Mark Welsh, a writer, drew up a wish list of the perfect apartment: top floor, terrace, fireplace. Months later, they moved from a rental place at Fifth Avenue and 10th Street to a penthouse at 140 East 28th Street.
In homage to the neighborhood, they and their interior designer, Alan Tanksley, painted the walls the warm, muted yellow of curry. The apartment is furnished with low-slung seating, without a single straight-backed chair in sight. In the glass-covered greenhouse that extends off the living room, cushions surround a hammered copper table. This year, they asked Eric Walton, an American designer who lives in London, to create a Japanese-style terrace, where a bamboo teahouse is set on a path of pearly beige stones bordered by larger black river stones. A tiny grove of bamboo trees is clustered in a corner. Sweetie, their black, tan and white mongrel, uses the meticulously designed terrace as a dog run, her paws clattering on the pebbles.
''It's not where you live,'' Mr. Welsh said. ''It's how you live.''
If they need a design consultation, Mr. Tanksley is a few blocks away, in his 17th-floor aerie at 88 Lexington Avenue. He pays $1,800 a month for a 600-square-foot corner apartment.
''I have big sky,'' Mr. Tanksley said. ''Straight out my window is the golden crown of the New York Life Insurance building, and golden light bathes this space at night. South is the World Trade Center. From one corner, I see the Empire State Building, and each night, I do a ritualistic good night to it.''
The Empire State isn't the only building rising above the neighborhood. The Madison Belvedere, a luxury apartment building at 10 East 29th Street that says it is ''just off Fifth Avenue,'' begins accepting occupants in October. Studios of 443 to 609 square feet are renting for $1,820, one-bedroom apartments of 583 square feet for $2,345, and two-bedroom apartments of 833 square feet for $3,054, said Jackie Dixon, a secretary in the rental office. Last month, 25 of the 400 units were rented.
Even with the Belvedere bulking large, the neighborhood has a sense of community, and shopkeepers who provide old-fashioned courtesies.
At the Gurell Hardware and Supply Company, a 30-year-old family-run shop, Arthur Greebler takes deliveries for his neighbors. ''I accept U.P.S., Fed Ex,'' said Mr. Greebler, a lawyer who took over the business when his father died. When a customer needs him as a notary public, he doesn't charge a fee. ''He takes house accounts,'' Mr. Weisenfeld said. ''How genius is that?''
Mr. Greebler has heard that the neighborhood is getting more fashionable. ''There's a rumor that Heidi Klum, the bikini model, moved in,'' he confided. ''The U.P.S. guy said he delivered something to her.''

Introduction to Philosophy/Anarchism
What is Anarchism?[edit]
Anarchism is defined as the abolition of the state, and the end of the state. Anarchist society is a way to organize relations among people. It refers to a relationship among humans based on the ideal liberalism: often formulated as "my freedom ends when your freedom begins". Anarchism incorporates the doctrine of liberalism and left-idealism into one ideology, where everyone is equal.
Anarchist Schools of Thought[edit]
Anarcho-syndicalism is based around the concept of the trade union as a catalyst for revolution. Anarchist Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War was split between syndicalism and anarcho-communism. Key principles of syndicalism include worker's solidarity, direct action, and worker's self-management, and famous syndicalist thinkers include Rudolf Rocker and Noam Chomsky.
Mutualism was formulated by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in his 1840 treatise, "What is Property?". Often described as "free market anti-capitalism", mutualism is based on ideas of a society where workers freely exchange their means of production. Famous mutualist thinkers include Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Kevin Carson.
Post-left anarchy[edit]
Post-left anarchy is based on the concept that anarchism transcends left-right politics, and is closely associated with post-structuralist, primitivist and insurrectionary ideas. Famous post-left thinkers include Hakim Bey and Wolfi Landstreicher.
A rejection of any form of governmental authority or intervention, and the upholding of the competitive free market as the main mechanism for social interaction.

Altisource(R) Announces Second Quarter Results LUXEMBOURG, July 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Altisource") (Nasdaq:ASPS) today reported record service revenue of $161.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 37% when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net income attributable to Altisource was a record $30.9 million or $1.25 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 10% and 11%, respectively, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The growth in revenue is primarily from the initial referrals on the Homeward non-Government Sponsored Enterprise ("non-GSE") loans that Ocwen Financial Corporation ("Ocwen") boarded onto the REALServicing^® platform in the first quarter and the expansion of the Financial Services segment which is gaining traction. Altisource generally begins receiving referrals once portfolios are boarded onto the REALServicing platform. During the second quarter of 2013, the Mortgage and Technology Services segments recognized virtually no benefit from the Residential Capital, LLC ("ResCap") non-GSE portfolio that is expected to board on REALServicing in the third quarter of 2013. Including Ocwen's recently announced agreement to purchase $78 billion of mortgage servicing rights from OneWest Bank, FSB ("OneWest"), the number of non-GSE loans on which Altisource earns revenue is expected to be 65% higher in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2013. Net income increased in the second quarter of 2013 over the same period in the prior year from service revenue growth, partially offset by interest expense on the $400 million Senior Secured Term Loan ($200 million was funded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $200 million was funded in the second quarter of 2013), intangible asset amortization expense in connection with the Homeward and ResCap fee-based business transactions and increased technology expenditures to support our growth.In addition, the Mortgage Services segment was almost fully staffed to meet the anticipated 65% higher non-GSE loan count on REALServicing in the fourth quarter of 2013 (compared to the second quarter of 2013).This 65% increase in loans with very little increase in compensation and benefits will be the major contributor to our goal of improving default related margins by seven percent by the end of this year compared to 2012. "We are encouraged by Ocwen's recently announced agreement to purchase mortgage servicing rights from OneWest which, along with the ResCap portfolio, will drive meaningful default and technology related revenue growth to Altisource. Given the traction we see in our strategic initiatives along with Ocwen's ability to acquire additional mortgage servicing rights, Altisource's long term growth prospects are very bright," said Chairman William Erbey. William Shepro, Chief Executive Officer, further commented "We expect earnings for the second half of 2013 and full year 2014 to be very strong as we begin to benefit from the ResCap and OneWest non-GSE servicing portfolio referrals and the higher margin Homeward referrals.We also remain intensely focused on margin improvement and believe we are making good progress toward accomplishing the seven percent margin improvement in our default related businesses by the end of the year." Second quarter 2013 business performance highlights include: *On April 12, 2013, Altisource completed the ResCap fee-based businesses transaction with Ocwen for an aggregate purchase price of $128.8 million; *The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing totaled 1.0 million loans in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 0.8 million loans in the second quarter of 2012; *Based on portfolio acquisitions announced by Ocwen, Altisource anticipates that Ocwen will board approximately 619 thousand additional non-GSE loans on REALServicing by the end of 2013, less service transfers and run-off; *Altisource Residential Corporation ("Residential") had a portfolio of 1,372 loans and real estate owned ("REO") at the end of the second quarter of 2013.Additionally, Residential announced acquisitions totaling $470.0 million in unpaid principal balance that are expected to close in the third quarter of 2013; *In May, Altisource borrowed an additional $200 million under the amended Senior Secured Term Loan agreement to fund the remaining transaction consideration related to the ResCap fee-based businesses, common stock repurchases and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions; and *Altisource acquired 313 thousand shares of its common stock during the quarter at an average price of $94.49 per share. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue was 43% and 44% for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.Gross margins were impacted by Mortgage Services' higher staffing levels to support the 619 thousand loans we anticipate boarding over the next 6 months, higher costs in the Technology Services segment as Altisource continues to invest in the development of the next generation technology to support its growth initiatives and revenue mix.During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, Altisource had disproportionately high growth in the lower margin property inspection and preservation business principally from the Homeward acquisition.The decline in margins was partially offset by the expansion of the higher margin mortgage charge-off business.

So what does this land army look like?
Realistically -- as in, consistent with what Star Trek has shown us in the past -- most likely a combination of the MACOs and the Andorian Royal Guard updated with 24th century technology.
The MACOs and Andorians on Enterprise were part of an early Starfleet that went through many changes. It didn't look or act like TOS Starfleet just like TOS Starfleet doesn't look or act like TNG Starfleet.
If there were separate DS9 Starfleet Military guys you would think we would've seen them in the ground combat scenarios?
And if we're going on the military ranks of the MACOs which consisted of ground forces-type ranks then Colonel West of Starfleet would equate to the Military. This would indicate by TOS the Military was integrated into and synonymous with Starfleet. (And that tallies nicely with Carol and David Marcus calling Starfleet the Military.)
Crazy Eddie wrote:
The absence of the Andorians in significant numbers in the Dominion War is otherwise too suspicious to be explained away by the writers simply forgetting they exist;
It might be more beneficial to your argument if you addressed the absence of MACOs before the Andorians.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
That's not to say that's the way things SHOULD have gone done. Ideally -- as in, consistent with what Star Trek could/should have shown us based on the 24th century's level of technology -- a Federation ground army would probably look a lot like
these guys.
Perhaps. Although 24th century tech might be more compact and involving portable shields and combat drones.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
If the Vorta or Founders ordered Jem'hedar ships to bombard and destroy their targets they will do so.
I doubt that they'd bother ordering it. The Jem'hadar are both completely disposable and EXTREMELY effective in ground combat. Forcing the Federation to commit resources to a land action would be advantageous from a morale, strategic and political standpoint, and also would be a lot more fun for the Jem'hadar.
Well in "What You Leave Behind" in short order the Dominion caused 800 million casualties. It would appear regardless on how they do it they can be ordered to wipe out whole planets. Billions would not be an issue.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
Theoretically, it DID. Enterprise-E originally had five torpedo launchers to the E-D's three, and backstage sources claimed each of those launchers could fire a volley of six torpedoes on their own. The Nemesis retrofit added four additional torpedo tubes to the ship which probably can only fire individually but at least one is seen firing clusters of three at the Scimitar.
A single volley of 3 still is a step back from the 6 at a time that the E-D could manage.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
DS9 battles don't appear to give them any SHIELDING either. YMMV.
Or they could be running conformal shields
Crazy Eddie wrote:
If military readiness was a high priority, they wouldn't have drawn ANY. They would have tested M5 on an unmanned platform first and evaluated its performance in conjunction with normal starship operations so as not to divert fleet resources away from their regular patrol duties (basically, how the Navy's been testing the QF-47 prototypes).
Since they were doing live wargames it would make sense that they used actual ships rather than drones. Firing low-power phasers for the wargame makes sense as it has the exact same performance and need not be simulated. It makes sense that a military wargame would want to be as realistic as possible and this would indicate the testing was beyond using unmanned drones and such.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
That's kind of my overall point about Starfleet, though. The reason they don't classify it as a military organization is because military organizations are hard to justify -- politically and monetarily -- in peace time.
If your point was more specific to periods of peace time then I wouldn't be debating you
However since you lump the entirety of Starfleet's existence into a non-military organization then that's where you took it too broadly.
TOS and TOS Movies point to a Starfleet as The Military. TNG and ENT does not. DS9 they went military during the war. AbramsTrek stayed non-Military.

But that range of opinions can only exist where Starfleet's official status is TECHNICALLY not a military one.
Its not a range of opinions but statements at different points in time. TOS/TOS Movies had dialogue calling Starfleet, "The Military". TNG had dialogue calling Starfleet a non-military. That indicates Starfleet's organization and role changes back and forth over time.

Which is why I agree that to the non-Military Starfleet during TNG would've been a big deal. But that would not be the case in TOS Starfleet which was mobilized for war as a military.
I'm sure the TOS fleet mobilized for a limited war over the Arkanis sector (as the TNG fleet did just prior to the Dominion War) but for reasons outlined above I am less sure that this makes them a military organization. More militaristic, sure, but that's a different issue altogether.
When Starfleet in "Wrath of Khan" is referred to as "The Military" it leaves little room to argue that they are not the military in TOS. This is the same as Picard's "Starfleet is not a military" statement in TNG.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
"A Taste of Armageddon" didn't give any indication that a bluff was being used at all. This is unlike any of the other episodes where we are told or can tell that it is a bluff like "Corbomite".
The only reason we know Corbomite was a bluff is because they were all laughing their asses off that it ended up working (because Kirk had literally made it up right that minute). Kirk used the same bluff against the Romulans in "The Deadly Years" where it was slightly less obvious that he was yanking their collective chains.
The dialogue and scene in "The Corbomite Maneuver" spelled out that it was a bluff. The use of Corbomite in "The Deadly Years" was a nice bit of continuity and used as a bluff with supporting dialogue.
Crazy Eddie wrote:
General Order 24 as a "insider's reference" would be a lot more consistent with what we know about Kirk (and actually, Starfleet) than it would with their willingness to glass entire planets just because they don't get their way. It would, for example, mirror Spock's "in plain sight" coding of their communications in TWOK: "If we went by the book --
like Lieutenant Saavik
-- hours would seem like days."
And Spock and Saavik discuss their deception so we know that it was code. This does not occur in "A Taste of Armageddon".
Crazy Eddie wrote:
Kirk calling Scotty about General Order 24 would probably reflect some specific scenario in the academy simulators; say, a way to resolve hostage situations by convincing the hostage takers that your orbiting ship is about five minutes away from glassing the whole planet because the hostage takers don't know enough about Starfleet to chance this being a ruse. It would work ESPECIALLY well on the Eminians, who have apparently concocted this entire computer-controlled war system purely to avoid damaging their cities and cultural heritage; the threat of a starship raining uncontrolled destruction on them would have been terrifying on multiple levels.
Unlike the other bluffs and tricks that Kirk did in other episodes this had no indication that it was one at any time. Even when Kirk and Spock had secured the room Kirk's order to Scotty was to follow through with it if something should happen.

City Of Angels - Poem by Ebi Robert
I starred into the ways
Thus the hypocrisy is in the images
Yes the eloquence is in the images.
I starred into the ways
Captivated in the city that
Harshses beauty.
You know the beauties,
So don't fail to use the key.
The keys are the lamp.
A key opens the vase growing
lamp with myrrh fuelled with floury frankincense.
The leader is rigth but the fruity
burnt cinnamon in the river of wiggly tank dropp by bit.
Dip a tip to the honey beside the cabin
The taste is the sweetest of voice to be captured.
Use the sweet link to arrest the angels wanderring voice.
The other hive key is the play-pen.
Tie the ringlet to the verse
then sing to the angel-sentry.
They shall flow on choruses and verses
But before the angels park
stop and change the raiment.
Use the violin to open the park.
Dress with a snow and sing to slow.
Beauties shall dress you with
lunar girdle, with piano and rebranded horns.
Dont be praised.
When the chorus is over
You shall be in the city.

This is a masterpiece. Rich in imagery; from the smell of fruity burnt cinnamon, the taste of honey, the feel of the angels voices, the mere mention of the violin evokes this sensetional feeling, one can almost hear the chords of the violin. So serene! Thank you for the invite. (Report) Reply

World champion Rui Costa out of Tour de France
Lampre leader bows out as bronchitis turns into pneumonia
Previous News
Next News
In the latest high-profile withdrawal from this year's Tour de France, world champion Rui Costa will not start today's stage.
Costa's Lampre-Merida said that an x-ray examination carried out during yesterday's rest day, revealed that the bronchitis Costa has been suffering from for several days had developed into pneumonia.
Antibiotics had been keeping Costa's bronchitis stable, according to the team.
"On the rest day however the world champion woke up to a worse feeling than the past and a general state of fatigue," the team said in a statement. "Accompanied by Dr. Beltemacchi, doctor of Team Lampre-Merida, Rui Costa was subjected to various tests and X-rays which led to the diagnosis and forced the doctor to take the decision for Rui not to continue in this year's Tour de France.
"Rui Costa was very willing to continue and respect the Tour, therefore he wanted to get through the night in order to assess his condition in the morning, but the persistent state of not feeling well and the risk of forfeiting the rest of the season has convinced the world champion to retire from the race."
Costa was lying 13th overall despite his illness.
This Tour de France has been notable for the attrition of high-profile riders including Mark Cavendish, who crashed out on stage one; Chris Froome, who withdrew with fractures to both hands after crashing on stages four and five; and Alberto Contador, who broke his leg on stage 10. Lampre-Merida has already lost sprinter Sacha Modolo due to a viral infection.
Earlier in the Tour we looked at Rui Costa's new Merida Reacto Evo KOM.
This tour is going to be won by the last man standing. If it went on long enough, it'd probably be Jens.

It's because he has no chance of winning it too. I don't like his way of winning races anyway - sucking wheel and never doing a turn on the front (World Champs and Tour De Suisse anyone?)
He won't be retaining that rainbow jersey. It's good to hear that Froome is looking to win it this year anyway.

My little girl loves the height it gives her in the car. It take a little while to adjust the fact of the next level of safety due to your child growing. She has not stopped packing up things in it and playing but it is very handy moving it from car to car - brought it specifically for an up and coming holiday in May so thats the real test - so far so good but was not impressed that the pink product was £7 more - where is the justification for that in colour that was annoying.
Very Handy

An American Jewish lobby group is claiming that Israel's ambassador to the U.S. is avoiding an invitation to address its conference due to the group's liberal political leanings.
Ambassador Michael Oren has been invited to address the October 25 J Street conference that includes former liberal Israeli government ministers Shlomo Ben-Ami and Ami Ayalon as speakers. The group opposes Israeli government policies regarding the peace process and Iran.
According to reports, Oren has not yet accepted the invitation.
The 18-month-old group J Street describes itself as "pro-Israel, pro-peace movement." It says it represents Americans, "primarily but not exclusively Jewish" who support the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It also says it supports "diplomatic solutions over military ones, including in Iran."
Contradicting Positions?
But reports say that J Street has taken positions that contradict those of the Israeli government, including opposing the immediate imposition of intensified sanctions against Iran and backing President Barack Obama's call for a halt to settlement construction in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
Some Israeli and American circles have also criticized the group for attacking other Jewish groups in a way that could be construed as divisive.
J Street executive director, Jeremy Ben-Ami, wrote an open letter published in Wednesday's Jerusalem Post, urging Oren to attend despite the differences in political agendas.
Ben-Ami was also quoted elsewhere saying that more than 20 liberal pro-Israel groups and students are expected to attend the conference.
'Progressive' Lobbying
He challenged Oren to become involved in what he called "progressive" lobbying for Israel instead of the more traditional stand taken by the largest pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Israeli Embassy spokesman Yoni Peled was quoted as saying that the Embassy had notified J Street of its positions on state and security matters.
"While recognizing the need for a free and open debate on these issues, it is important to stress concern over certain policies that could impair Israel's interests," Peled said.

James Lankford's life has involved spiritual, political quests
When he and Lankford talked in their seminary days about what they might have done if they hadn't chosen the church, Lankford "talked about running for office then, and that was almost 20 years ago."
"He's always had an interest in government," Wood said. "He's been an avid reader of things that were political in nature. He quotes the Federalist Papers as well as he quotes the Bible.
"I think the truth is, he's been heading this way all his life and now he's finally here."
Harrison said Lankford didn't leave Falls Creek because he was tired of the job and needed a new challenge. Harrison believed Lankford when he said he felt called to run for the office.
Lankford, he said, was just following the advice he gave students at Falls Creek, which was to be open to opportunities for which God might call you. Wood said Lankford gave him similar counsel when he was trying to decide whether to pursue his doctoral degree, telling him that it could be a way for him to be more useful to the lives he would later touch.
"His life has to be open to that, too, and I think he feels called to do it, and he feels passionate about it," Harrison said.
Asking the hard questions
Lankford's dad "kind of floated in and out" of Lankford's life, Wood said, but Lankford's mother "is one of the most exceptional people I've ever met."
A librarian for the Dallas school system, she remarried when James was 12 and the family moved from what Wood described as a tough part of Dallas to Garland, where he attended high school before going to University of Texas.
Though he was influenced early in his life by Criswell's sermons at the Dallas megachurch and by his experiences at the small church he started attending when he was in junior high, Lankford said his path to the ministry didn't become clear until he was a teenager and started "asking the hard questions."
What he decided was that he believed in a God you could "know" and that if you could know Him, He could care about your daily life.
"I want to follow you," he prayed to Christ then, "but I don't even know what that means."
In Austin, he began working as a youth pastor, which led to summers organizing Baptist youth gatherings around Texas.
In 1992, he married Cindy, whom he had known since high school. They didn't date then — in fact they went out on double dates, with different mates — but they kept in touch while she was getting her bachelor's and master's degrees at Baylor University.
The couple have two daughters, Hannah, 13, and Jordan, 10.
Lankford's friends say the toughest part of his yearlong campaign has been the time apart from his family.
Harrison, of Piedmont, said he expects Lankford to go to Washington and build coalitions to solve complex problems. The people he represents, he said, "will be pleasantly surprised with what they get."
And Wood said Lankford won't have any trouble representing Jews, Muslims and atheists along with Christians.
Lankford's faith "is a big component of his life and will guide some of the decisions that he makes," Wood said. "But it doesn't define James in toto."
James Lankford

YIELD: Makes about 18
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 heavy large baking sheets. Place oats in large bowl. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into same bowl. Using fingertips, rub in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk; stir until dough forms. Transfer dough to floured surface. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Arrange on prepared sheets, spacing apart. Gather scraps, reroll and cut out additional rounds.

The judicial system remained in shambles, as did health care. Funds in education were spent on physical rather than human resources. Only a handful of tangible improvements could be seen in basic infrastructure like roads, bridges, and water supplies, often funded with foreign aid and built to maximize electoral results prior to elections.
In conclusion, from a pragmatic standpoint, Fujimori did achieve most of his initial goals. However, from a more theoretical perspective, there were substantial discrepancies between COPRI's rhetoric and the actual execution of many privatizations. Their causes rested on the lack of clear planning and priorities. The goal seemed to be divesting and let the market economy take care of economic growth. Nor there was any evidence that privatization had strengthened the state and its institutions in their fundamental tasks. Yet, as most analysts agree, strong capitalist economies do need strong institutions to facilitate business operations, on the one hand, and protect individual rights from market abuses on the other. In the case of Peru, the absence of long-term planning and institution building was, unfortunately, the direct result of Fujimori's one-man approach to problem solving. As Hunt ( 1996: 49) pointed out:
long-term growth requires a consistent development model. Consistency requires a strong state that will ensure continuity and therefore credibility. The Peruvian state as currently constituted is too weak to give assurance that it can maintain its policy line -- neoliberalism -- or any policy line. Therefore, Peru has not yet found a viable development model that gives prospect for sustained growth.
These misgivings notwithstanding, by the end of his second term Fujimori could claim victory on all fronts, while his critics, no matter what the substance of their arguments, seemed completely powerless.
