Product Description
Parce qu'elle est accessible, mélodieuse et fondée sur des harmonies simples et claires, la musique de l'Américain John Adams (né en 1947) s'est heurtée au mépris des tenants de la modernité "pure et dure". Or cette musique résolument "post- moderne" possède énormément de charme, que ce soit dans les curieux et bondissants Shaker Loops, à l'écriture répétitive, ou dans le Concerto pour violon (1993) qui, brillamment servi par Gidon Kremer, force le respect par son classicisme hautement civilisé. --Michel Marmin

Top Customer Reviews
Interesting, and likely intentional, is that two names in the extensive liner book fail to mention two great and glaringly obvious precursors: Carl Orff and Raymond Scott. Without "Carmina Burana," there would be no "Harmonium." Orff has his mark all over Adams's gifted and epic compositions. Similarly, though there are glib references to "cartoon music," the polymath engineer/musician Scott is a seminal figure in American music, and casts a large shadow over the witty juxtapositions and sense of play one loves in Adams's work. In all, an excellent career overview.
The earlier of these two works "Shaker Loops" is the more traditionally minimalist of the two. Even then, it is still breaking away from strict minimalism. The pulsating repetiveness is still there, but there are more lyrical passages that release and provided a much needed rest from the intensity of the hard repetition. Scored for string orchestra, its often hard to imagine that only strings are making these sounds.
The "Violin Concerto" concerto is easily the more mature of the two works. At this point in his career, Adams is definately "post-minimalist" (all these labels mean virtually nothing!) New music advocate Gidon Kremer is the perfect choice as soloist for this piercing, energetic and exciting work. It is a piece often brimming with energy. It is also important that such a major contemporary composer is going back and returning to a very popular and traditional form considering that most modern composers do whatever they see fit by either inventing new forms or abandoning form entirely. The violin almost never stops completely overpowering the orchestra's understated but excellent part. The third movement in particular is quite unlike most violin concertos. Very spiky and fun.
A splendid pair of works by one of today's most famour composers. The violin concerto, especially is worth checking out.

The Coming Economic Armageddon
The Coming Economic Armageddon
What Bible Prophecy Warns about the New Global Economy
FaithWords, Hardcover, 9780446565943, 320pp.
Publication Date: October 1, 2010
Never before have we read such jarring headlines, distressing news analyses, or dire predictions concerning the world's financial future. The American housing market -- or, more sentimentally, the American dream -- began to collapse in 2006, taking with it large chunks of the global financial system. Millions of jobs worldwide have vanished forever. Did Bible prophecy predict this catastrophe? Are there biblical clues to how soon, if ever, a viable, long-term recovery can be sustained? Is the financial collapse just one of several signs that we are living in the final days of Earth's history In THE COMING ECONOMIC ARMAGEDDON, David Jeremiah says we can know the meaning behind what we see in the daily news -- and understand and prepare for living in the New Global Economy.
Dr. David Jeremiah is the founder of Turning Point Ministries, a nonprofit organization devoted to "delivering the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world." A pastor's son born in Toledo, Ohio, he graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary and received his doctorate from Cedarville College. David and his wife, Donna, have four children and ten grandchildren, and live in San Diego.
"A clear, compelling primer on God's heart for Israel and the dramatic Bible prophecies that will unfold in these last days. What I loved most is that David Jeremiah unashamedly examines and explains the biggest global trends of our day through the Third Lens of Scripture. And his description of Jesus' unconditional love and compassion for Jews and Muslims is alone worth the read!"—Joel C. Rosenberg, New York Times best-selling author, The Last Jihad and Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your World on What in the World Is Going On?

Toyota cares, right? If you are selling a big ticket item or any item in fact, you want to make your customers or future customer feel at ease that the company is there to help you in any way. If there is a problem, WE fix it! We stand by our products and will listen to our customers. Now, why wouldn't you buy a Toyota product now? Good Business! I'm not sure why people don't get that and these repeated posts about recalls come up? They know there "might" be a problem, so we fix it. What's the problem?
Would you want to have something, that you spent a LOT of hard-earned $$ on, be recalled multiple times? It is horribly inconvenient, as an owner, to schedule and keep that appointment. You may have to miss some work, for hours sometimes, waiting for the vehicle to get fixed. Who would want to do that just because the OEM screwed up, many times, as toyoDUH has? You think that toyoDUH product owners are HAPPY that they have to arrange to have these vehicles fixed? Of course, customers should be glad that the issue will be taken care of, BUT THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED. If an OEM screws up, the customer EXPECTS it to be resolved - and quickly, if it's a safety issue. It still doesn't mean that it's not a pain in the rear end to make it happen.
The only thing that a customer should ever have to worry about is scheduled maintenance. THAT should be the goal of all OEMs. It's clearly not that important to toyoDUH...
Sentiment: Strong Sell
If you say the problem happen "all the time" with TM products, that bogus. It happens to all cars. We all know TM makes good products and have alot of satified customers like myself. You may love Ford products and for some reason you just don't like TM for whatever reason, so be it. It still doesn't take away from TM products. I know the people on these boards play there own games, but all it is a bunch of Noise.
"If you say the problem happen "all the time" with TM products, that bogus."
THAT statement is bogus - it DOES happen all the time and toyoDUH is the clear champ over each of the last 2 years (#1 in recalled volume of vehicles). Since '09, they've probably recalled over 36 MILLION vehicles globally. The same vehicle being recalled mulitple times are included in that total.
It is a FACT and well publicized...
"It happens to all cars."
Not so sure about ALL cars, but toyoDUH has the lion's share of recalled products. It's not a good thing and toyoDUH's reputation has indeed been damaged.
"We all know TM makes good products and have alot of satified customers like myself."
Good is not good enough and satisfaction is all relative...

Current development costs have risen from $317M to $567m and may go to $1B
Development costs have more than doubled and aren't under control for the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA)'s digital archive project, now projected to cost as much as $1.4 billion over its life cyle, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
Since 2001, NARA has been developing the Electronic Records Archive (ERA) to preserve and provide access to a variety of digital records. But due to revisions in the original requirements and weaknesses in applying management control, estimated development costs to complete the current phase have risen from $317 million to $567 million, and are likely to go higher, GAO said in the Feb. 4 report.
GAO estimated that completing the current development phase of the digital archive will rise further from $567 million to $762 million, or possibly as high as $1 billion.
Electronic Records Archive needs more oversight, auditors say
NARA debuting online search tool
The agency said weaknesses in applying Earned Value Management (EVM) principles likely contributed to the cost overruns, and it predicted that the situation will not improve unless the principles are applied.
"Without more useful earned value data, NARA will remain unprepared to effectively oversee contractor performance and make realistic projections of program costs," GAO said. "Overall, NARA has fallen short in its implementation of EVM to oversee and manage the ERA system acquisition."
GAO report made 11 recommendations to NARA that include:

This is heavenly. I really enjoyed the flavors of the mint and the pineapple together, and it was super easy to make. Although this recipe includes sugar, it's still healthier than most desserts. I used Florida Crystals and about 3 sprigs of fresh mint from my garden. I don't have a mortar and pestle (yet), so I pulsed the sugar and mint together in my food processor. It's probably not as fragrant (or fun) that way, but the results were great! It went over really well at a vegan potluck. I can't wait to make it again for future events!
This was alright. I would prefer fresh pineapple alone though. I used brown sugar crystals and fresh mint from the garden. I didn't like the fact that the sugar is unhealthy and the fresh pineapple was already sweet enough without. I didn't feel the mint went well with the pineapple until it sat a while and the flavour mellowed. Made for ZWT6 Britain. For my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.
What fantastic flavours together!! This is my new favourite food! So simple, yet fresh. A true summer taste treat in the middle of winter.
Delish, refreshingly yummy good! Made 1/4 of the recipe. A sprinkle of rum or tequila would have been a nice adult pickings.

Costs of female odour in males of the parasitic wasp Lariophagus distinguendus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

The display of female traits by males is widespread in the animal kingdom. In several species, this phenomenon has been shown to function adaptively as a male mating strategy to deceive sexual rivals (female mimicry). Freshly emerged males of the parasitic wasp Lariophagus distinguendus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are perceived by other males as if they were females because of a very similar composition of cuticular hydrocarbons which function as a sex pheromone in this species inducing courtship behaviour in males. Within 32 h, however, males deactivate the pheromone and are no longer courted by other males. In this paper, behavioural experiments were performed to test hypotheses on potential costs and benefits associated with the female odour in young males. We did not find any benefits, but demonstrated that young males were significantly more often outrivaled in male–male contests when competing with two older males for a female. Also, young males were significantly more often mounted in homosexual courtship events during these contests. Thus, display of female traits by males is not necessarily beneficial, and in fact, can be disadvantageous. We suggest that these costs have favoured the evolution of the pheromone deactivation mechanism in L. distinguendus males. The function of cuticular hydrocarbons as a female courtship pheromone in L. distinguendus might have evolved secondarily from a primary function relevant for both genders, and the deactivation of the signal in males might have caused a shift of specificity of the chemical signal from the species level to the sex level.

Product Description
The collection winningly celebrates differences rooted in a variety of ways to the mutable boundaries of sexuality and gender.... Whether read in a couple of sittings or savored essay by essay, this is an eye-opening vista on diversity.
―Kirkus Review (Kirkus Review 2007-12-05)
This wonderful collection of 40 essays manages to hit the jackpot each time. Editors Richard Labonte and Lawrence Schimel leaned on some excellent writers well represented in GLBT literature (Kate Bornstein, Tim Miller, Katherine V. Forrest, D. Travers Scott, Achy Obejas), but they've introduced new names (at least to the casual writer) as well, and all are terrifically engaging.
―Michael Bronski, The Guide (The Guide 2007-12-20)
This collection is refreshing because of the diversity of experiences represented.... First Person Queer is humorous at times, painful at others, and extremely honest all the while. Though there is no singular, exclusionary 'queer experience,' these essays all complement each other to show the qualitative experiences as a member of a marginalized group.
―Feminist Review (Feminist Review 2008-01-08)
It's remarkable that every voice in this anthology is personable.... The eloquence of spirit in each essay draws readers into understanding different points of view.
―Outwords (Winnipeg, MB) (Outwords 2008-02-15)
These short pieces show enormous range of difference.... First Person Queer is not a book to be read through, rather it is one to be dipped into and relished for what it echoes with the individual reader and what provides them with moments of insight.
―one80 (UK) (one80 (UK) 2008-04-30)
Richard Labonte and Lawrence Schimel have gathered a remarkable number of personal narratives that document the incredible diversity of experiences, backgrounds, personal histories and yes, sexual orientations and gender identities, that all resonate with the word queer. The stories create a strong a vibrant community where multiple experiences can cohabit and flourish.... Recommended for both public and academic libraries.
―GLBT Roundtable Newsletter (American Library Association) (GLBT Roundtable Newsletter 2009-03-12)

The 5 School Supplies Every University Of Oregon Freshman Girl Didn't Know She Needed
With the school year starting up, I thought I would bestow some of my advice on the incoming freshman girls at the University of Oregon. These 5 items are absolute necessities when it comes to living in the "Dirty Eug" and I guarentee any fellow female Duck will attest to that!
1. Hunter Rain Boots
I know, you're probably thinking "I can handle some rain, no biggie!" but unless you attended the monsoon Cal football game this past year, you have not experienced Eugene rain. While it may seem crazy to pay an extra $100 for a small rectangle that says "HUNTER" on the front of the calf, you will be so happy that you did. Not only are they the most common fashion staple on campus, they are the best quality rainboots you'll find and they will last you all four years.
2. Northface Vest
Is it a cozy, warm bundle of happiness? Is it a fashionable trend in this lovely Eugene weather? Trick question — It's both! You will be so glad you got this vest to layer over your sweatshirt or spirit jersey, not to mention every girl on campus owns it! Warning: It feels extremely awkward to wear a backpack over this vest, but hey, who said fashion was meant to be comfortable?
3. Lululemon Leggings
Yes, these may look like your typical black leggings, but you are sadly mistaken if you believe that. These leggings are thick, reversible, perfectly cut to fit every body type, and wait - there's more! These leggings can be worn many times before washing because they won't stretch out! So you won't have to worry about getting to the dorm washing machines at 2 in the morning since that's the only time they seem to be open!
4. Baseball Hat
This hat will become your best friend, and I guarentee by the end of your four years you will have at least 6, if not by the end of your freshman year. These cute baseball hats are not only cute and trendy, they cover up a bad hair day! So when you wake up late for your Friday morning class after being out for Thirsty Thursday, you can throw on a baseball hat and no one will notice your hair is still curled from the night before!
and last but not least, the most important thing a Duck girl can have…
5. Waterproof Mascara and Eyeliner
Yes, I'm serious! Sure you've got a raincoat on, and you might even be holding an umbrella as well (which will totally give away that you're a freshman), but you will always manage to get rain on your face walking to class, walking to Autzen, or walking anywhere! You don't want to look like the drunk, crying girl at a party, so make sure to but some waterproof mascara and eyeliner and you'll be set!

On the Ethics of Baruch Spinoza
On a recent trip to the Hannah Arendt Collection housed in Bard College's Stevenson Library, we came across this copy of the works of the 17th century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
Included in this particular volume are Spinoza's Ethics, selected letters, and On the Improvement of Human Understanding.
On pages 66 and 67 of Spinoza's Ethics, we see three discernible Arendt marginalia. The first and second both occur on page 66, with the former consisting of a single vertical line placed adjacent to the following passage:
God must be the sole cause, inasmuch as to him alone does existence appertain. (Prop. xiv. Coroll. i.) Q.E.D.
The second annotation on page 66 includes a vertical line but is also preceded by two exclamation points, thereby signifying its special importance to Arendt.
This [the notion that God is not the cause of the essence of things and therefore the essence of things] (by Prop. xv.) is absurd. [Underline Arendt's] Therefore, God is the cause of the essence of things. Q.E.D.
The final annotation on on the opposite page, page 67. It consists of three vertical lines placed to Spinoza's passage that reads,
Proof--Whatsoever is conditioned to exist and act, has been thus conditioned by God (by Prop. xxvi. and Prop. xxiv. Coroll.)

Too Busy to Think
"One feels very lonely in this country; this has to do in particular with the fact that everyone is very busy and that for most people the need for leisure simply ceases to exist after a certain amount of time."
- Hannah Arendt to Gershom Scholem, November 4, 1943
Hannah Arendt had lived for a year and a half in the United States when she noted in a letter to her friend Gershom Scholem: "One feels very lonely in this country; this has to do in particular with the fact that everyone is very busy and that for most people the need for leisure simply ceases to exist after a certain amount of time."
This entails, Arendt continues, a certain attitude of "permanent absence (by which I mean 'absent-mindedness'), rendering human contact between people to be very difficult." Scholem, who received Arendt's letter from New York in Jerusalem, was familiar with this phenomenon. "All my friends in the U.S. are muted by this 'public isolation'," hence communicating with them became very difficult, he writes in December 1943, "unfortunately you are not an exception in that regard."
Scholem's response is noteworthy, for he addresses the political implication of Arendt's (self-) observation. In general, being busy and leading a public life is not a contradiction. "One can be occupied by his daily work, and when this period of work in the private realm of a factory or an office space has ended, one can enter the public sphere by being a citizen – or a friend" (Jerome Kohn). Arendt had a political understanding of friendship; for her, friendship consists of the world that appears between friends who are diverse and embody plurality rather than an imagined or imposed 'unity'. In a state of "absent-mindedness" though, one cannot be in public, nor political, nor with friends in a meaningful way.
The problem starts with the absent need for "leisure," Arendt states. In her letter to Scholem she uses a particular (untranslatable) German term for leisure: "Musse," which is the German version of the Latin concept of otium. It denotes the free time I have for contemplation when I'm not busy (opposed to neg-otium, the time when I'm not free for contemplation, i.e. when I'm busy).
The term "Musse" that Arendt uses also appears in the title "Musse und Müssiggang" (Leisure and Idleness) of section no. 329 in Nietzsche's Gay Science. Nietzsche, who is not known for having great interest in the New World, in this very passage talks explicitly about America, and in particular about the Americans' "distinctive vice": "the breathless haste with which they work," so that "one no longer has time or energy […] for otium at all." Arendt read this passage thoroughly: her private (German) copy of Nietzsche's Gay Science has marked up not only this sentence, but shows underlinings and marginalia throughout the entire entry on "Leisure and Idleness."
One would think with a watch in one's hand, Nietzsche continues in his depiction of America's oblivious take on "Musse," and the common principle "Rather do anything rather than nothing," would throttle all culture and good taste. In effect, all forms and "the feeling for form itself, the ear and eye for the melody of movements" were visibly perishing because of the haste of the busy people. Before the takeover of the protestant work ethic, it actually was 'busy action' that suffered from a bad consciousness, Nietzsche recalls, and Arendt underlined the related sentence: "the desire for enjoyment already calls itself 'need of recreation,' and even begins to be ashamed of itself."
Arendt's underlining, with regard to her letter to Scholem, outlines – at a very early stage – her larger political and theoretical project: the modern problem of world-alienation and its threat to the human faculty of judgment.
Thinking needs solitude, according to Arendt, not loneliness or isolation (another distinction inspired by Nietzsche).
World-alienated loneliness or isolation precludes the thinker from the common world; yet, out of the state of solitude he can reenter it once he has ended his act of thinking. Judging relates abstract thoughts back to the world by giving them a concrete form perceivable and disputable in public, in company with others. Absent-mindedness is oblivious of this company. That's why the perished "feeling for form itself," deriving from a common lack of "Musse," may entail a crisis of political judgment: in other words, a disconnection between vita contemplative and the public sphere. Nietzsche, in the passage intensely marked by Arendt, offers a form of counteracting this disconnect: "to take a stroll with thoughts and friends."
-Thomas Wild
Ned Curthoys' Recovery of Arendt's Intellectual Dialogue with Ernst Cassirer
Ernst Cassirer is an oft-neglected thinker in contemporary continental philosophy. He is typically eclipsed by Martin Heidegger, whom he faced in the now famous disputation at Davos, Switzerland in the spring of 1929, which had such a dramatic effect on continental philosophy that the young Emmanuel Levinas, who attended the debate, felt as if he were "present at the creation and end of the world". In spite of Cassirer's attempt to make his three-volume Philosophie der symbolischen Formen (1923-1929) more accessible to an English speaking audience through a concise redaction in An Essay on Man (1944), he remains a marginal figure in contemporary philosophy.
However, Ned Curthoys, a researcher at the Australian National University's School of Cultural Inquiry, has recently recovered a latent conversation between Cassirer and Hannah Arendt that casts new light on the impact and significance of his work.
Arendt's vigorous annotations in her copy of Cassirer's An Essay on Man indicate that she was a diligent and consistent reader of Cassirer. Her personal library housed in the Arendt Collection at Bard College contains over a dozen titles by Cassirer. Most Cassirer's works in Arendt's personal library contain heavy annotations and marginalia, which suggest a critical and substantive engagement with Cassirer's work. Although Arendt's references to Cassirer in her major works are sparse—once in her essay "The Concept of History: Ancient and Modern" in Between Past and Future, and four times in The Human Condition—it is clear that Cassirer had an influence on Arendt's postwar writings. The question is: What was the extent of this influence?
Curthoys has recently taken up this question and offers a persuasive argument that Arendt's philosophy of history and her philosophical anthropology were shaped significantly by her reading of Cassirer. Curthoys' early essays on Arendt explored the political significance of narrative in her work and her use of "thought-figures," like Charlie Chaplin, Franz Kafka, Karl Jaspers, Walter Benjamin, and Isak Dinesen, all of whom attempted to subvert the authoritative discourses of their times by means of counter-narratives. Curthoys discerns the marks of a German émigré consciousness in Arendt's postwar writings that suggests an intellectual dialogue with other German émigrés like Karl Jaspers, Walter Benjamin, and Ernst Cassirer. He foregrounds Arendt's status as a conscious pariah and engages in a postcolonial reading of her work that highlights her development of a counter-narrative to the Eurocentric metanarratives of her age.
More recently, Curthoys has begun excavating a latent conversation between Arendt and Cassirer. In his essay, "The Pathos and Promise of Counter-History: Hannah Arendt and Ernst Cassirer's German-Jewish Historical Consciousness" (in Power, Judgment, and Political Evil,), Curthoys explores Arendt's philosophy of history, and argues that she found a "counter-history" in Walter Benjamin and Ernst Cassirer that allowed her to challenge the Eurocentric discourse on history that had rendered her an outsider, a pariah. It is precisely this location outside the dominant identities and political narratives of Europe, Curthoys avers, that served as Arendt's Ansatzpunkt, or starting point, and allowed her to engage in a recursive investigation of history.
What is most significant in this essay is Curthoys' claim that Arendt's engagement with Cassirer's "philosophy of symbolic forms" was instrumental in the development of her philosophy of history, and his suggestion that it led to her reconsider Cassirer's defense of neo-Kantianism in the Davos debate, a reconsideration that Curthoys sees as the impetus for Arendt's return to Kant in her final years. This engagement was not a wholesale adoption of Cassirer's approach to history, Curthoys argues, but a critical and creative renewal of his thought.
Curthoys has extended this exploration of the connection between Arendt and Cassirer in a subsequent article titled, "Ernst Cassirer, Hannah Arendt, and the Twentieth-Century Revival of Philosophical Anthropology." Curthoys argues that Arendt's focus on philosophical anthropology in The Human Condition, Men in Dark Times, The Life of the Mind, and her final lectures on Kant is the result of her ongoing critical engagement with Cassirer's work. At the heart of this article is Curthoys' assertion that Cassirer's theory of symbolic forms is refracted in Arendt's notion of a common world. Cassirer had argued in his Philosophie der symbolischen Formen that human beings are symbolic animals that express themselves in systems of signs, which mediate reality in networks of meaning. These systems of signs take form in language, myth, religion, art, science, and history. Readers of Patchen Markell's "Arendt's Work: On the Architecture of The Human Condition" will recall his claim that "work" plays a mediating role, which resonates with Cassirer's notion of symbolic forms.
Curthoys' investigation and recovery of the intellectual conversation between Arendt and Cassirer is compelling, but more needs to be done to make this influence explicit. Curthoys' new book The Legacy of Liberal Judaism: Ernst Cassirer's and Hannah Arendt's Hidden Conversation (Forthcoming in September 2013, Berghahn Books) promises to offer more evidence for Arendt's creative development of Cassirer's thought. Curthoys' research opens up a new line of inquiry into the wider connections between Arendt and the German-Jewish intellectual tradition and offers further confirmation of her fidelity to Jewish thought in general.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In Krich's third entertaining thriller starring spunky L.A. true-crime writer Molly Blume (after 2003's Dream House), Molly at last gets on the trail of the killer who murdered her best friend, Aggie Lasher, six years earlier. Molly is blissfully preparing for her upcoming marriage to Zack, an ultra-cool rabbi (who doesn't mind if Molly wears jeans under her skirt), when Andy Connors, her friend at the LAPD, asks her to identify a locket found on the body of aspiring actor Roland Greeley, an apparent drug overdose victim. Molly identifies the locket as the one she bought 10 years before at Rachel's Tomb in Israel and gave to Aggie. The locket contains a sacred red thread "whose mystical power wards off the evil eye lurking behind envy and arrests its malignant reach." Was Greeley guilty of Aggie's murder? The more Molly digs into his past, the more she doubts the recovering addict killed Aggie, a dedicated social worker at Rachel's Tent, a haven for at-risk and abused women. Krich never misses a beat as her heroine unravels the dark tangle of the senseless crime, affirming Rachel's legacy and the blessing behind the red thread: the healing power of truth. Krich once again expertly mixes Orthodox Jewish faith with crisp whodunit plotting.

From Booklist
Crime reporter Molly Blume is busy planning her wedding to Rabbi Zack when Detective Andy Connors appears with a locket that belonged to her best friend, Aggie Lasher. Someone fatally stabbed Aggie six years earlier, and the crime remains unsolved. The locket turned up with the body of Randy Creely, an aspiring actor and drug addict who overdosed. The police assume that Creely was the murderer. Molly, who has been obsessed with her friend's death, is not sure that the actor committed the crime and begins investigating. Her family and her fiance would prefer that she concentrate on the wedding, but she has other ideas. Her curiosity exposes corruption in prominent families and puts her in danger. As always, Krich mixes a good mystery with L.A. lore and a glimpse at Orthodox Jewish traditions. Her fans will enjoy Molly's latest case even as they await a new adventure in Krich's other series, starring West L.A. detective Jessica Drake. Barbara Bibel

Molly Blume is a few weeks away from marrying "her rabbi" when she learns that a man recently found dead in his apartment (Randy Creeley) from an apparent drug overdose had in his possession a locket that she had given to her best friend Aggie - who was murdered 6 years before. The police believe that Randy was responsible for her murder. Molly sets out to find the truth, while juggling preparations for her wedding and jobs both writing crime columns for local newspapers as well as true crime novels under a pseudonym. She soon uncovers disturbing inconsistencies. Was Randy murdered? Did Randy kill Aggie, or was someone else responsible? As she investigates further, someone starts to stalk her . . . There are a lot of twists and turns to get to the final denoument.
This novel wasn't an edge-of-your-seat thriller, although it had its moments, but it was certainly a very enjoyable mystery. I also very much enjoyed all the tidbits thrown in about Molly Blume and her family's life and lifestyle as Orthodox Jews. Molly's struggles to compromise her independent nature to her desire to live by her religion's ideals - as well as to make accomodations as the future wife of a rabbi - made for fascinating character development. This is not the first in the series, as became fairly obvious early in the book, and I am definitely going to seek out the rest of them.
The jewelry was found in the apartment of Randy Creely, whom police believe died from an overdose and probably killed Aggie. Molly has doubts as she ponders why he kept the locket, sent letters asking people he abused to forgive him, and regularly attended Narcotics Anonymous. Randy's sister is contacted by a person who insists her brother was to send him a package that never came. He trashes her apartment and warns her that if she tells anyone, he will insure that is the last thing she ever does. Molly becomes convinced that Randy never killed anyone and was murdered. If she tracks down the thug who harassed Randy's sister she feels she can learn the truth.
The added fun of this fine amateur sleuth tale is Molly conducting an investigation while also preparing for her Orthodox Jewish wedding ceremony. The mystery is a puzzler because Randy was not a nice person (understated) and is easy to see him as a killer just like the police do; Molly digs beyond the obvious seeking the truth. Between the insight into her religious beliefs and her inquiries, readers will send accolades to author Rochelle Krich for a fine tale.
Harriet Klausner
Grave Secrets is an edge or your seat fantastic murder mystery without explicit sex or violence. Molly is a strong determined woman who is on a clear path to solve the murder of her best friend and to return to her Orthodox roots. I never had a clue about Orthodox Judaism before this series and I have found it absolutely fascinating. I learn something new with each novel.
I highly recommend reading all four books in the series!

Digital-Media Tips for Parents of Socially Challenged Kids
As a founding partner of Social Foundations in Los Angeles, I work with teachers and parents who worry that constant access and exposure to digital media will hinder kids' social-skills development. It's a reasonable concern. Just about every parent has had to insist on eye contact from a kid engrossed in a video game, battled buzzing and ringing phones at the dinner table, or had to teach an otherwise tech-savvy child how to make a regular, old-fashioned phone call.
Although technology is probably shifting the way we interact and develop socially, it's not all bad news. In fact, in some ways it can extend social interaction in new and exciting ways. I'm confident that adults still have an important role to play in children's social development, especially in the digital age.
Why? Because I've worked with hundreds of children with significant social challenges due to autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences. Having seen so many kids with these challenges make impressive strides in their social learning, I know that with appropriate adult expectations and support, all kinds of kids can grow and learn socially, even in the digital age.
You may need a few extra tools in your parenting toolkit. Here are some ideas to try:
- Involve yourself in your children's digital lives. Kids and teens are developing an understanding of the way the social world works while they're socially interacting -- sort of building the airplane while flying it. Your active guidance in their digital lives is vital to their social development.
- Model consistent social behavior in relation to digital media. If you want to encourage social engagement at family dinners, for example, communicate clearly about the times and events you expect to be uninterrupted by technology. Then stick with it to model full, face-to-face, non-digital engagement yourself.
- Expect similar social behavior online and offline. Adults may unintentionally signal to kids some subtle indifference about trash talk, cheating, harsh language, or violence when we're playing online games, since it may not seem as real to us. Yet we would consider the same behavior unsportsmanlike, unfriendly, or seriously antisocial for children on a soccer field, at a spelling bee, or during a game at recess.
- Learn about your child's style of play in interactive games. Half an hour of playing Luigi to your child's Mario in a multiplayer round of New Super Mario Bros., for example, will tell you a great deal about his ability to collaborate patiently, lose gracefully, and more.
- Get to know how young people represent themselves on social media, including the comments, photos, and content they share. Help them tune up their awareness of how an online persona affects real-world relationships. With teens, it can be helpful to start indirectly: Ask them what they think of the way different people portray themselves on Instagram or Twitter. Then listen carefully to their opinions.
- Teach older kids how to self-monitor and manage their screen time. Try this: For a month, instead of imposing limitations on digital engagement -- or using technology as a reward to bait kids into compliance with what should be ordinary expectations -- collaborate with your child on exploring some key questions. What would a healthy balance of digital and non-digital life look like? What would it feel like? What are some real-life activities they would like to spend more time doing, and what help do they need from you to do them? How will they be able to tell for themselves that they've had too much digital interaction and not enough face-to-face?
- Be aware that kids' online social behavior affects others' real-world perceptions of them. For example, if a kid is known as a destructive player in Minecraft, the "Crafters" at her school may not welcome her in their real-life afterschool programming class. Peer perceptions are an especially powerful influence for teens, whether online or offline. Although most teens experiment with creating different personas for themselves as part of exploring their identities, the images they create for themselves on social media can stick long after they're ready to put that phase behind them.
- Learn from your child. These "digital natives" already know they're light years ahead of some of us in understanding and using technology. So ask questions and let them enjoy guiding you on the technology part while you guide them in social learning.

The Trump Economic Policy Plank That Could Work
CREDIT: AP Photo/Matt York
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump offers a lot of policy ideas that progressive economists hate. He wants to close up the country's borders and crack down on immigration, something that could seriously hurt the economy. His tax plan would cost trillions and offer most of the relief to the wealthiest, with very little for the middle class and poor.
But when it comes to his positions on trade, the same economists say he's identified the right problems, even if some of his solutions might get him into trouble.
"Trump has stumbled on, and I think it's the right word, stumbled on to a very important issue," said Robert Scott, senior economist and director of trade and manufacturing at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.
Trump's stances on trade, as in many other policy areas, shift often. But the general outline is taking action to boost industries, and therefore jobs, here at home.
Action makes sense, Dean Baker, co-director of the left-leaning Center for Economic and Policy Research told ThinkProgress, because the promised benefits of past trade agreements haven't come to pass. The country was supposed to be able to cheaply import goods from other countries and simply shift our attention — as well as American workers — at home to making higher-end goods to then sell back abroad.
"But what we actually see is very high unemployment," he said. The workers in the industries where the country began importing goods from elsewhere weren't able to simply jump to different, more in-demand sectors; instead they just lost their jobs. "It's hard to say we're benefitting."
The damage has been severe: one study found that the United States lost about 2 million jobs between 1999 and 2011 to trade competition with China. That amounts to about 10 percent of all manufacturing job losses during that period. Meanwhile, another study found that in areas hit hard by rising competition with China, employment and wages remained depressed for at least a decade.
A 'Reasonable' Plan
Trump has promised big tariffs on imports, either from specific countries like China or Mexico or from individual companies that shift jobs overseas, to supposedly give our domestic industries competing with those countries and companies a boost; go after China for manipulating its currency so that it is lower than the dollar, and therefore goods made in the country are artificially cheaper than ours; and renegotiate trade agreements past and present, which he has said have been disastrous for the economy.
Key for Scott is tackling China's currency manipulation and any other countries that may be artificially holding down the values of their currencies. If China's policies keep the value of the yuan lower than where it would be without intervention, that makes it cheaper for the goods and services they price in that cheaper currency for other countries to buy. "It acts like a subsidy to everything that China and other countries export to the U.S.," he said, and it "acts like a tax on all U.S. exports to China and to every country where we compete with China in the world."
And tariffs could be the answer, if done a certain way.
"It's reasonable to talk about imposing a tariff on these exports…in order to offset the effects of currency manipulation," he said. He pointed to just such an experience in the past: when President Nixon imposed a tariff on imports that lasted a few months and "got countries he dealt with to agree to make changes in currency policies," Scott said.
Baker agrees that tariffs, if done the right way, can force concessions from other countries. "If it results in changing policy, then there'd be a net gain" for the economy, he argued, when weighing the boost to jobs against extra costs that might trickle down to consumers. The problem is that it will all become a game of negotiation, and the U.S. has plenty of other priorities it's trying to haggle with China over beyond its currency. "With China we can't give them a laundry list and say, 'Here's what we want you to do,'" he said. "If we want them to raise the value of their currency, it's pretty much got to be number one." Trump could shift his priorities that way, but he'd have to let go of a lot of other things, like patents and human rights.
It also depends on what Trump would actually do as president, and Baker is far more wary of using blanket tariffs that go on indefinitely to achieve these results.
"Simply imposing tariffs would almost certainly have a negative effect, it would violate a wide range of trade agreements," he said. "If [Trump] is thinking about a long-term thing, having tariffs for 20 years, he won't get away with that."
Timothy Wise, a director at the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University, similarly warned of what might happen if Trump levied blanket tariffs. "Imposing the kind of really high tariffs that Trump is talking about to bring jobs back to America is really coming late to the game with a sledgehammer," he said. Hitting all of China's exports would "fly in the face of all kinds of multilateral and bilateral agreements" the U.S. has made. China might not just react by bringing a case challenging the tariffs before the World Trade Organization (WTO), but by retaliating with its own tariffs on our exports, starting a trade war. "It can be a slippery slope," he said.
An economic model built by Moody's for the Washington Post found that if Trump slapped all imports from Mexico and China with stiff tariffs, it would throw all three countries' economies into recession, costing 7 million jobs, although that falls to 3.5 million if the other countries don't retaliate. Those numbers could be far too high, however, given that the model assumes no return of the jobs lost to offshoring over recent decades, and higher costs for American consumers may not materialize.
Still, there are more limited, temporary ways that presidents can impose tariffs as a sanction that are much less risky. For example, in the early 2000s President George W. Bush imposed tariffs on imported steel to help the domestic steel industry. While the tariffs were brought before the WTO and the U.S. eventually lost, they still lasted for nearly two years and "gave the steel industry some breathing room," as Baker put it, stemming the job losses that would have otherwise been larger. "It wasn't done in a stupid way." President Obama has also used this tool, imposing tariffs on Chinese solar panels because, the U.S. argued, the Chinese were getting away with selling their panels at prices below what it costs to make them thanks to government subsidies. Even Ronald Reagan used such a tool against Japan in the 1980s.
"Those aren't crazy things to do, both President Obama and President Bush have done that," Baker said. "That's consistent with trade agreements, consistent with current policy. What isn't consistent is saying we'll just slap tariffs all over the place."
Tariffs are not what the first method Scott would choose, however. "I think there are better ways to achieve the same end result," he said, "and that is to go directly after the tool that China and Japan are using to manipulate their currencies."
A president who wants to do something about currency manipulation could fight fire with fire. China has been depressing the yuan's value by buying up dollars, thus making our currency more expensive and theirs cheaper. So our Treasury Secretary could basically do the same thing, offsetting China's purchases by buying the same amount of Chinese assets, bring the whole game to a truce — what's known as countervailing currency intervention.
"When Trump tells you, 'I can stop this,' this is one case where it's true," Scott said. "He can sign an order and tell the secretary to take steps to end currency manipulation."
Bring Back The Jobs
The end goal is to help revive manufacturing in the United States. Scott argues that tackling currency manipulation could do that. "Over time, it would create millions of jobs in the United States, most of them in the manufacturing sector," he said. "That would be a very good thing."
These jobs come with much higher wages and benefits than the majority of those created since the recession, which have mostly been in low-wage sectors like food service and retail. This imbalance "is one reason why wages have not grown very fast and workers have been feeling squeezed," he said.
But Baker is more skeptical these jobs are coming back in those kinds of numbers. Given that the manufacturing sector has become more efficient, using technology to reduce the number of workers needed, he argues that it will never get back to its peak, saying an optimistic estimate would have the country recouping half to a third of those jobs.
"Obviously we're not going to bring back the same number we've lost," he said. "You can reduce the number you lose."
Not everyone is convinced Trump is on to something, particularly those with a more conservative view of trade. Imposing big tariffs on other countries would throw the world "into another great recession, if not depression," said Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the right-leaning Peterson Institute. "It would be quite a shock to the overall system." He argues that it would cause a massive trade war that would spread beyond China and the U.S., which he says could even result in a global depression and negative economic growth. "It would be quite something to live through," he said.
Beyond tariffs, Trump has also promised to "rip up" all existing trade agreements with other countries, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). That kind of idea warrants condemnation from all sides. It would "certainly" mean a trade war, Baker said. "It's not a story I would want to see. I thought NAFTA was a bad idea, but you've had 20 years of development based on it." Pulling that rug out from under the economies of Mexico and the rest of Central America could seriously harm them. "It's not as though we could reverse history," he added.
HufBauer agreed. Simply publishing a notice that NAFTA or another trade agreement was going to be terminated "would be quite a shock to the global economic system of which we are a part," he said. "Who knows what would happen next." He predicted that the stock market would tank and currency exchange rates "would go wacko."
Political reality also makes the likelihood of following through on such a threat low. Obama himself campaigned on renegotiating NAFTA, but changed course once in office. It's "a huge complicated process" to redraw those agreements, Wise said. Meanwhile, big business has a strong vested interest in keeping trade rules the way they are.
What a President Trump could do, however, is redo the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal the Obama administration has been trying to push Congress to ratify, if it doesn't get finished up before he leaves office. "If we sign that deal, as bad as [trade] is, it's going to get a lot worse," Scott said. The next president might get a chance to change it. Trump "could go back to the drawing table and come up with an agreement that is going to work, and what's what we need," he said.
