The body of your cover letter should consist of one or two paragraphs that:
- Relate your background and qualifications to the position without repeating verbatim the information on your resume. Instead, emphasize and expand on those parts of your resume that are most relevant, and provide specific examples of your skills and abilities.
- Make it clear why you are interested in the position or employer. If it is not obvious from your previous experience or studies why you would be interested in the position, state explicitly why you wish to work for this employer in particular.
It's always helpful to demonstrate that you have taken the time to research the company or organization. As appropriate, refer to informational interviews or information sessions you have attended with the company, or highlight some aspect of the company's work that you find most interesting or relevant to your career goals.
Sample middle paragraph:
My Wellesley degree is in art history and includes significant additional coursework in American history, architecture, and American female authors. An internship this past summer with Historic New England allowed me to learn about and assist in the range of activities associated with managing historic sites, including developing interactive tours, digitizing photographs and documents, and conducting research for fundraising. In my internship at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College, I developed focus group questions and conducted student focus groups to improve the design of the museum's website. Through other positions, I have taken on a character persona to lead tours and gained experience, making history engaging for all ages. Finally, my fluency in French and German—the languages of the two countries with which Louisa May Alcott had strong connections—will enable me to work with the original letters and documents that Orchard House possesses.

By Ms. Chrystal Smith (IMCOM)June 22, 2010
WIESBADEN, Germany - A U.S. camp was invaded by a union of Soldiers representing several European nations amid the sounds of large and small arms fire.
McCully Firing Range in Wackernheim was the site of the 27th annual Monte Kali Pokal Team and Individual Shooting Competition June 10-12.
"This is a healthy competition. ... We're continuously showing our solidarity by working with our NATO partners," said Archie White, chief of Regional Training Support Baumholder, who said that the U.S. Army has hosted the competition numerous times in the past at the Darmstadt training area.
About 1,100 Soldiers, foreign armed forces, foreign reserves, customs federal and state police and civilian shooting associations representing 12 nations - Austria, France, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, United States, Hungary, Britain and Switzerland - had a chance to shoot such weapons as the German MP5, U.S. M16A2 and the Dutch Glock 17. The German Reservistenkameradshaft (Reserve Association of the Bundeswehr) from Giessel facilitated the competition working in coordination with 1st Armored Division Soldiers who were the range safety officers, line instructors, security and weapons cleaning detailers.
"This was a very good shooting place for us. The people here support us. It's good working here," said Bernd Kern, lead administrator, who spoke of the good relationship his organization has shared with the U.S. Army through the years.
Twelve nations divided into 230 teams participated in the competition where one of the biggest attractions was the hardware.
"When they shoot, they want their badges," said Benetia Johnson, 1st Armored Division rear detachment operations officer in charge, who monitored the flow of activity throughout the competition. "They are very competitive on the range, but easy-spirited people."
The unfamiliar weapons offer the foreigner a degree of difficulty, but the multinational participants did not shy away from the opportunity to shoot the standard weaponry of their NATO brethren.
"It's always the fault of the rifle why you didn't qualify," said Rafael Plombier, Bundeswehr reservist who said he was there to fire the American M16. "For me the P5 was easy, the M16 and Glock were difficult. If you do this you will see that it's not so easy to get."
While acquiring marksmanship decorations of foreign militaries is one reason to take part, target practice was not the only benefit of such an event.
"The enemies of yesterday are sitting together as friends. No quarrels ... a very friendly evening," said Kern, as he gave a preview of the evening social planned for Friday after all business was taken care of at the range.
Soldiers made connections in the common areas as they transitioned to the various firing stations and awaited the next opportunity to shoot.
"They love the Americans here. They want the flags and patches [from our uniforms]. They were very friendly," said Johnson who shared remarks about several acquaintances she had made by the second day of the affair.
"This was a nice experience. I've met lots of people from many European countries," said Plombier.
"It was a great experience. Soldiers meet foreign service members they probably wouldn't have interacted with on another basis," said Jefferd Singletary, 1st AD operations noncommissioned officer in charge.
Fourteen U.S. Army Soldiers earned German marksmanship badges, SchAfA1/4tzenschnur, June 10. The Soldiers fired the MP5 and Glock 17 to earn the bronze award.
Having earned the honor proves a Soldier has the ability to carry and fire the weapon and is authorized to wear the badge on the Army dress uniform.

There's more good news for the auto industry. General Motors says its sales are so strong they're stepping up production and expanding their workforce.
750 workers will be rehired for a new third shift at a Michigan assembly plant. The company says demand is growing for heavy-duty pick-ups.
Last month, Ford announced it will rehire 7,000 workers by the end of next year.
Meanwhile, for the first time in GM's history, sales were higher in China than the U.S. Sales in China rose nearly 29 percent last year compared to a 6 percent increase in the U.S. Sales in Brazil were also strong, up 10 percent.

Not sure if youâve heard about this or not, but thereâs a Flash-centric event coming up from DC real soon. Aw, who am I kidding? Youâve seen news about âFlashpointâ here on CBR and youâve also probably read about it in another comic or two or on DCâs âThe Source.â At any rate, âThe Road to Flashpointâ starts right here. Sort of.
From what I gather about âFlashpoint,â itâs going to be an âAge of Apocalypseâ or âElseworldsâ alternate reality type of extravaganza. So there may be more clues here than it appears on the surface, but on the surface it only appears as though Johns is continuing to rebuild Barry Allenâs life. This issue is largely focused on Barryâs day job as a forensic scientist. Thereâs a mystery corpse, wearing a replica of Elongated Manâs costume, and Barry foregoes a chance to connect with the rest of the Flash family at a picnic in favor of working on this case. That leads him to be at the lab late, which, naturally leads to a confrontation with Hot Pursuit.
This brings me to a point in this book that gives me great pause. Hot Pursuit?! Really? Thatâs kind of a lame name for a hero or villain, unless it happens to be a hero or villain from the 1990s. I understand the police motif, but wow. This oneâs going to take a long time to get used to. Speaking of Hot Pursuit, the solicit text for this issue teased us with, âAnd just wait until you see whose face is under Hot Pursuit's helmetâ¦â Itâs not a great reveal, and Iâm certainly not thrilled by the character choice, but it is a surprising reveal in that I didnât expect that one.
As Iâve already mentioned, thereâs a fine bit of police procedure in the book, but Manapul fumbles this as Barry Allen seems to be just taking the finger prints in random order, starting with the middle finger and then working to the index finger without handling the thumb. Iâm not a police officer, Iâve never been printed, so I may be way out of line here, but it just seemed odd to me to dial in the focus and then get it wrong. Itâs a nit that Iâve just picked, to be certain, but when you elect to show the details of a job, I would think it would be important to show the details of a job being done right. Unless thatâs one of the spots where Zoomâs messing up time as was shown in the last issue.
Otherwise, Manapulâs art and Buccellattoâs colors are phenomenal, so much so that any one panel feels worthy of framing in its own right. This is a beautiful book by all measures, and that beauty is smartly employed to get the story across for the most part. When the crime team gets on the scene of the costumed body, Buccellatto washes the pages in green, casting an uneasy pallor on the story, which makes for a brilliant contrast to the bright, sunny day the Flash clan is enjoying for their picnic. Either story would be a treasure to look at for an entire issue, but the story needs to move.
Unfortunately, it doesnât move any too quickly, but it does pick up as it goes along. As much as I want to like âThe Flash,â this book just hasnât found a way to hook me yet. Manapulâs art is the big draw for me in this series so far, but maybe as the event draws nearer, my interest will increase.

Read this phrase in a blog. I think the basic meaning of the phrase 雨よ雪に変わってくれ is "The rain is changing into snow." But I don't understand the usage of よ in this case. Is it a particle? Or is it a typo?

A year ago, Microsoft was crucified in the press for the PR fiasco of the Xbox One, with rival Sony winning thunderous applause for its PS4 by simply maintaining the status quo. But after doing a

A remarkable feat of engineering, Halo: The Master Chief Collection will feature on a single disc the complete HD-remastered campaigns of Halos 1-4 alongside Ridley Scott's Nightfall, the Halo 5 beta, and the holy grail of Xbox gaming: every last one of the series' 100+ multiplayer maps in a single unified matchmaking system incorporating the original engines, gameplay mechanics, and idiosyncrasies of each.
Ten years after Halo 2 (and four years after MS shut the taps), IGN suspects a plan by 343 to rekindle (and data-mine) Bungie's magic for an uncertain Halo 5, while Eurogamer welcomes the return of what it calls online FPS's peak. [More reaction: NeoGAF - Ars Technica - Reddit]

Orbital, 23 years after Chime
They were a couple of blokes from a small city in in England who started out messing around with instruments. Paul played the guitar and drums, and Phil the saxophone, but both were interested in electronic music by the likes of Kraftwerk. Phil also liked hip-hop, and Paul got into acid house in the late 1980s. One afternoon, Paul slapped together a happy little song based on a sample from a now-forgotten instrumental cover version of some pop hit, and called the little ditty Chime. Even before it was pressed on vinyl, DJs were asking for it, and Orbital was born. [more inside]
Mortal Kombat has been banned in Australia. In the highest profile censorship incident since last year's butchering of Left 4 Dead 2, the new Mortal Kombat game has been "refused classification by the Australian Classification Board and will not release in Australia".

Visit Dubai and return as a new man. Literally.
With Dubai's rise in trendsetting and global marketing, you can buy pretty much anything there...and the women aren't the only people doing the shopping.
While plastic surgery is more commonplace among the females, who says women are the only gender that can be obsessed with their appearances? In 2012, almost 15,000 men had plastic surgeries in Dubai.
What were the most coveted surgeries on the list?
Emirate's Health Authority reported that "most of the operations involved reducing fat, skin polishing and correcting face deformities", according to the Emirates 24/7.
This is nearly double the number reported in 2011. Clearly the trend is rising. This has caused authorities to warn citizens against using unauthorized centers in efforts to limit complications.
So who are these men?
Authorities say that about 6,000 were locals from the Emirates while the rest were expats. These are drastically different numbers than the year before.
In 2011, in a report published in the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm, the numbers included 2,000 Emiratis and 5,000 foreigners, showing a tripling in local number from 2011 to 2012.
"Patients visiting such centers should ensure they are authorized to practice this type of therapy and the doctors there are experienced enough in this field," states the report.

we need a pointsystem to 1 or 2 groups out of many. And we need to be able to set a point administrator - so the only why to get points is when the admin gives the members points.
Or we need to be able to give only the group members of 1 group who join events via the Events Manager pro plugin. So if we create a event we also set how many points this gives members of this specific group.
Can it be done some how or do we need to have someone to build us this feature?

I'm a developer and I've made some changes to a solution, which I have saved off to a shelveset. Another developer unshelves my changes and builds the solution on a server. Is there a way for the second developer to check in my shelveset? I know he/she can check in the individual files comprising the shelveset. However, I was thinking of a "checkin" command that took the name of a shelveset as a parameter, or if there was another way to check in those changes as a unit, with the shelveset name.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The other developer can open a Visual Studio Command Prompt and use the following command:
See Checkin Command on MSDN for more details.
I don't think check-in via TFS Command Line directly is a better way, it maybe conflict with the latest code on TFS.
I think the better way to check in shelveset if there are some another changes in you code, but you don't check in it, is create a new WorkSpace in your local computer
Then map the latest code to the new workspace, then unshelve(download) the shelveset, resolve the conflict if necessary, then check in the code
An easy way to do this is to define a new workspace and have the developer unshelve to that workspace. Then, all of the pending changes for that workspace correspond to the shelfset, and they can check in everything in the workspace.

Il Gatto: happy hour of the week
Has enough time finally passed that we can mention Il Gatto without referring to it as the restaurant that replaced Figlio? It certainly has its own identity by now, under the firm direction of local rainmaker and James Beard Award winner Tim McKee (a few popular holdovers from Figlio's old menu notwithstanding). Il Gatto has a daily happy hour from open (4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday) until 6 p.m., and nightly from 10 p.m. to midnight. The Hot Dish stopped in and enjoyed some of the substantial happy hour offerings.
Mo Perry
With groups of delicious food and drink at four price points, all at or below $10, Il Gatto's happy hour menu is as diverse as some restaurants' dinner menus. From martinis and specialty cocktails to house wine and steak tartare, it would be easy to enjoy a whole meal without ever looking at the full menu.
Mo Perry
At $5, the Italian Stallion is a unique concoction of Amaretto, sour, and Prosecco. Lightly sweet and highly drinkable, it's a cocktail unique to the happy hour menu, and is highly recommended.
Mo Perry
At $3, the overflowing basket of house-cut fries with grated pecorino and rosemary-sage aioli is a steal. The generous sprinkle of pecorino alone is worth the price tag.
Mo Perry
Also at the $3 price point, the house-made mozzarella with basil pesto, baby tomatoes, and grilled bread is flavorful and indulgent, but not recommended for a first date, as there's no good way to get the stuff onto the thickly sliced bread without a pair of gardening sheers and a haz-mat suit.
Mo Perry
In the $5 realm, the Fonduta (fontina cheese, poached egg, and grilled bread) is a thick, savory version of a creme brulee--dense, creamy, and rich. A good way to spoil your dinner, unless of course it is your dinner.
Mo Perry
At $5 a pop, the house wine comes in a carafe with an accompanying juice glass. They know you're not here to stand on ceremony. Pour it in and drink it down--there's more where that came from.
For a diverse and extensive happy hour menu and great deals at multiple price levels, Il Gatto is the place to go.

Sending to a user role is great but I'd also like to be able to email to a specific user meta field. Any thoughts of a feature request?
Sending to a user role is great but I'd also like to be able to email to a specific user meta field. Any thoughts of a feature request?
I am not sure what that means - can you elaborate on what you want to do?
I'm using the Cimy User Extra Fields plugin and I'd like to be able to send email based upon the value of a specific extra field.
I'd be interested to have some filter/hook so I could provide custom lists/groups to the plugin, would that be possible? That would be something like
function mycustomgroups() {
//build my custom list based on their meta "interest"
$groups = array(
array(name=>"Group1", users=> array(id1,id2,id3)),
return $groups;
(raw php code, unchecked, but pseudocode :)
If we're talking about simply sending an email and not post and/or page notifications, a filter to select the recipients is certainly possible and probably not difficult to implement.
The challenge becomes how to presented something in the WordPress UI in the general case that would allow the plugin and/or theme to define the subset of users that should be in the recipient list.
I'll think about this as I can definitely see an application for it and see what I can do. I've got some other things stacked up that I need to finish first but will put this on the to-do list.
Great to read so ! I wasn't really thinking of the wp UI either, but that's indeed a challenge... I'm more of a hacker, so if a filter is available, my plugin can talk to your plugin :) But the UI would be interesting for others, surely !
let me know if you want to have some discussion about it
Just sending an email would be enough for me. A quick search lead me to this, . I don't know if it's useful.
A filter would work for me as well. Thanks for putting it on the todo list.
After digging into this more I think a filter is the simplest way to go. It will be extraordinarily difficult to figure out what someone else's custom user fields are.
So a filter sending email to every user with a specific key value pair where the filter would take as parameters the key and an array of values. Then I could select the specific value from my array.
Pseudo code above would work.
BTW, not using Cimy plugin as it doesn't create "real" user meta fields.
I've spent some thinking about this and I agree, a filter is probably the best way to do it. I need to finish up a couple other things I am working on before I can tackle this but now that v4.3.15 has been released, this should be next on my to-do list unless I get any other bug reports.
Excellent. Only thing I would suggest would be input array similar to the following.
array( [meta-field-name] => "Meta Field Label", [meta-field-values] => array('value1,value2,value3) )
Where meta-field-name is user's declared meta field name and label is similar to how role currently displayed and meta-field-values is just an unordered array with the values. But obviously the only necessary data is the array of values. Labels just keep it more ordered if lots of meta fields are needed.
I've done a bit of testing from my installation. I've got a couple of script that should return an array of values for a given custom user meta field and return a array of email addresses for a given custom user meta field and a designated value for this field.
the format for the call is as follows
get_user_meta_field_values( 'my-custom-meta-field' );
returns an array of the values for the designated custom user meta field.
get_email_from_meta( 'my-custom-meta-field, 'custom-meta-value' );
returns an array of email addresses corresponding to users with that particular custom meta value.
I hope this helps in some way.
I reworked the script to use a single call with the returned array being different depending upon what variable are passed.
get_user_meta_field_data( 'my-custom-user-meta-field' ); returns an array with the values of the custom user meta field.
get_user_meta_field_data( 'my-custom-user-meta-field', my-custom-user-meta-field-value' ); returns an array of email addresses of all users with that particular custom user meta field value.
Hey Mike, any time to think about this?
Unfortunately I haven't much time to do anything WordPress related recently. This is a very busy time of the year for me at work so free cycles are few and it will probably stay that way through the end of the month (our fiscal year ends on 1/31).
Wish I had better news to share. I have 3-4 things I want to implement for Email-Users, this is one of them.
No problem Mike. I just wanted to know if it was still on your radar. I hope the code is helpful.
While I am looking at another issue today, I am looking at whether or not I can add this at the same time.
Do you think the filter should supersede the standard settings for Mass Email and Post/Page Notifications or should it be another Send Option completely? I am inclined to make it a new Send option so you would have "Send to User(s)", "Send to Group(s)" and a new item "Send to Custom List" (or something similar) that would only appear if the filter was defined.
I agree with making it another send option that is only visible if the custom user meta is defined.
I have posted a beta release that has this requested functionality. Please check it out and let me know if it allows you to do what you want to do.
Hey Mike, this new beta does work but I was expecting something that would work more like 'Send to Groups' rather than 'Send to Users'.
I guess I wanted something more along the lines of
mailusers_register_custom_meta_filter($label, $meta_filter);
This would then return a page similar to 'Send to Groups' where I would select the '$label - $meta_value' from the list. The $meta_value would be returned automatically based upon all the returned values for $meta_filter.
In my case something like the following
mailusers_register_custom_meta_filter('Department', 'drmc_department');
I would want this to return the array of values to select from in a group like
Department - Medicine
Department - Surgery
Department - Pediatrics
This would work the same way selecting a Role works.
That way I could make only a single add_action for each $meta_filter. If I wanted to keep the more fine grained search as currently exists then what you've got works.
Does that make sense?
Yes, what you've outlined makes sense. Let me see what I can do. I'll probably break it up into two things - Custom User Filter and Custom Group Filter. Looks like I was 0-2 on your issues!
Credit where credit is due. As a dev your looking at my issues and feature requests. ;-)
Maybe 0.5 - 2, after all I can now send to groups based upon meta values, just not how I was thinking. If you want I can set up some data on my dev site, get you some admin credentials and you can test there if you want.
I have released another beta candidate that I think will address the use model you are looking for. Let me know what you think.
Mike, this isn't substantially different. It's just in this version with groups I can't see to whom the email is addressed, not that it matters. I still have to individually add each $meta_filter and $meta_value to the function.
What I was envisioning, and what the code I made does, is to enable the user to just list the $meta_filter and have the code return an array of all the $meta_values for that $meta_filter. The code would place something like 'Filter - $label - $meta_value[$i]' for the whole list of meta_values that correspond to the listed meta_filter.
The function would only have 2 parameters ($label, $meta_filter) as the $meta_values would be discovered.
If you want to put this up on Github I'd be happy to help.
I had some time work on this on my flight to Phoenix this week and have just uploaded a new beta version which I think is closer to what you are looking for. Details are here.
Brilliant! Works exactly as I expected.
Excellent news. I will try and get an update out in the next day or so.
I too am trying to implement this and am grateful to Mike for working hard to add this function.
I wonder how you got this too work with Cimy User Extra Users fields. I can't see how to address the actual field, which in my case is called DIOCESE within Cimy.
Grateful for any clues
thank you
Graham, I couldn't use Cimy User Extra as it doesn't create real user meta fields. You'll need to create real user meta fields from other code or another plugin.

Firm rules by parents can prevent adolescent binge drinking
15 October 2013
A Deakin University study has found that rates of teen binge drinking were reduced by 25 per cent when parents set rules not to supply or allow adolescent alcohol use.
A research team led by Deakin's Professor John Toumbourou conducted a two-year Resilient Families parent education program through the early secondary school years. Information was provided on the harmful impact of adolescent alcohol use and parents were encouraged not to supply or allow adolescent alcohol use.
The researchers found that rates of binge drinking at age 14 were reduced by 25 per cent in the 12 schools that were randomly assigned to the Resilient Families program compared to 12 usual practice comparison schools. The results have been published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
The reductions in adolescent alcohol use were related to the parents in the intervention schools setting firmer rules discouraging underage alcohol use, Professor Toumbourou said.
"These findings reinforce a growing trend for young Australians to avoid alcohol use during the secondary school years," he said.
"In 2002 national school surveys showed 29 per cent of 12-15 years old students used alcohol each week, this dropped to 11 per cent by 2011. This drop is because increasing numbers of parents and young people are now aware of evidence that the adolescent brain remains vulnerable to alcohol misuse into the mid-20s. There is a historic opportunity to encourage a new generation in Australia to avoid the damaging effects of alcohol experienced by previous generations.
"The single biggest contribution that Australian governments could make to encourage this popular movement would be to show courage and raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21."
Shane Varcoe, Director of the Dalgarno Institute (a coalition of alcohol and drug educators), said: "The Deakin University findings are good news and align with the efforts of a coalition called '21BeThere'. The growing coalition, made up of citizens and organisations from across Australia, is supporting efforts to reduce the harmful effects of youth drinking by raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. This policy has been identified to have the most evidence for delaying youth drinking and reducing the harm of youth alcohol use."
Professor Toumbourou will address a '21BeThere' community forum in Adelaide on Thursday 17 October that will explore youth attitudes to raising the legal drinking age.

Altiyan Childs has quit music and is considering returning to forklift driving
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- May 31, 2012
OFF-the-rails rocker Altiyan Childs has "quit" music and is considering making a return to his previous job as a forklift driver, according to friends of the disgraced singer.
With Channel 7 well into the production of its third season of The X Factor, inaugural winner Childs, 36, is understood to have retired from the industry following a disastrous 18 months.

Having dumped his management and record company last year after a spate of controversies, the cave-dwelling ARIA winner is said to be jumping back in the truck in Sydney's western suburbs to make ends meet.

"He's in a very dark, unsettling place," a Childs confidante told Confidential.
"He's going back to work because he has to. There's no other choice. Maybe he'll go back to music one day but right now he's quit. The thing with (forklift driving) is that there are plenty of jobs."
Childs' downward spiral started a few months after he took out The X Factor title in 2010.
Altiyan Child's first week as X Factor winner
Pub fights, trashed hotel rooms and a DUI charge were just some of the flamboyant performer's run-ins with the law.
The house he lived in was also raided by police, who allegedly uncovered a chemical lab and seized a number of fire arms.
Following that incident Childs declared he was dedicated to cleaning up his act.
"My romantic relationship with the world is constantly being challenged, but I am now ready for that," he said.
Even Guy Sebastian took aim at him.
"Altiyan has been gifted with an opportunity and it's up to him to stop being stupid and stop blaming others," Sebastian said.
Childs could not be contacted for comment.

Clinic providing 'exchange' help in Waterbury
WATERBURY — A Barre clinic for uninsured and underinsured central Vermonters is taking appointments for folks who need help evaluating their health insurance options under the state-run exchange.
The People's Health & Wellness Clinic will be holding a Vermont Health Connect sign-up day at St. Leo's Hall, 109 S. Main St. in Waterbury, between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturday. It is arranging for interested residents to receive face-to-face assistance from certified exchange "navigators."
Appointments are required and can be made by calling 479-1229. People should bring a copy of last year's tax return, their most recent month's pay stubs, Social Security numbers for all household members applying, and a list of current medications to aid in choosing a plan that covers them.
Anyone who needs assistance understanding the health insurance options and filling out the application is welcome to make an appointment for a free private session with someone familiar with the state's new online insurance marketplace.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON Rutland Post 31 pitcher Andy Kenosh called it mojo.

Out with the bold
While color can create character in a home, it can also inspire strong reactions from potential buyers. "For the most part people, I find, are afraid of color, and there are also people that just don't like certain colors," says Selby.
Before showing the home, repaint any brightly-colored rooms in neutral whites and beiges, or mellow yellows and blues. Make your home pop instead with colorful furniture, throw pillows, and rugs, as does this condo Selby staged for "Longyear at Fisher Hill" in Brookline.

The challenge to New York City's informed consent rule for Metziza B'Pe (MBP) should never have been brought. The rule it challenges, requiring informed consent by the parents before a mohel orally suctions blood directly from the circumcision incision, imposes, at most, the lightest of burdens on religious liberty. It does not forbid MBP or even bar mohelim from announcing their disagreement with the Department of Health's risk assessment.
Predictably, given the minimal burden the rule imposes and the current weak state of religious liberty protection, a trial judge refused to block enforcement of the informed consent rule while litigation continued. Those challenging the rule have appealed—an appeal they are certain to lose, given the substantial, if not ironclad, evidence that the practice of MBP creates a risk of illness or death—a small risk, but a real one.
But the very act of bringing the appeal poses a larger danger. In the course of challenging a trivial regulation of religious practice, defenders of MBP are handing opponents of circumcision around the world a gift. Instead of confusing substance with shadow, a far-sighted Haredi leadership would have avoided this fight. It would have taken into account the negative impact of highlighting MBP at a time when circumcision was under attack in Germany and elsewhere, with opponents seeking to implement a total ban on the practice.
The entire Jewish community was united in opposition to attempts in San Francisco and Germany to ban circumcision altogether. New York's informed consent rule, in contrast, drew opposition only from the Haredi sector. Other Jews (including many Orthodox Jews) either did not know of the practice, or had long ago substituted the use of a glass tube that allowed oral suction without physical contact.
Though the Department of Health had pointedly refused suggestions that it ban MBP altogether, much of the Haredi community treated the proposed rule as banning MBP, or even circumcision itself. A rabbinic friend tells of being in a Haredi elementary school during Hanukkah when children were told that the Health Department had banned circumcision, just as the Syrian Greeks had in the second century BCE. There is no excuse for such distortions. Even if one believes direct MBP is an indispensable element of circumcision, the city did not ban it.. The Haredi overreaction shows both a leadership pandering to the fears of its constituency and 150 years of continued rejection of any change in religious practice, no matter how innocuous or peripheral, treating any challenge as if it were a wholesale assault on all of Judaism.
Not so long ago there were highly respected Orthodox rabbis who considered MBP with direct physical contact unnecessary, some even banning the practice as unsafe. But now, with the rush to protest a by-and-large innocuous informed-consent requirement, a permissive halakhic tradition has been pushed to the side not for halakhic reasons, but for what can only be labeled as political considerations. Ironically, those claiming to fight for halakha distort halakha.
Also, to its shame, some segments of the Haredi community disregard any scientific findings that cast doubt on traditional practice. As filed, the complaint challenges the conclusion that MBP creates any health risk. The dispute now centers on how one "proves" a medical fact. To oversimplify a bit, opponents of the City's informed-consent requirement argue that there is no DNA testing tying a particular mohel to a specific infection, and that there has been no testing to eliminate all other possible sources of infection.
The city, for its part, relies primarily on the modern, statistical-based approach commonly accepted in medicine today, which does not require DNA proof to establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
Yet although the challenge to MBP is misguided, the dispute has exposed a series of worrisome actions by government or the courts. By not only warning about the risks of MBP but also noting the views of other Orthodox authorities who permit suction via a tube, the Health Department appears to be intervening in an internal halakhic dispute. Furthermore, even as calculated by the Department, MBP's risk of infection is not large in absolute terms, something like 1 in 4,000 cases, though this probably is at least twice the normal occurrence for new born babies. This raises the questions of at what level of risk the government should interfere with parental decision making, and why other risks to children engaging in hazardous activities not connected to religion—like skiing or football—go unregulated.
This is, in fact, a regulation targeting religion, despite the City's cleverness in dressing it up as a neutral regulation. In this particular case that shouldn't matter, since the rule is justified in any case. But it will matter in future cases, and all who care about religious liberty should worry about this part of the trial court's decision.

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
It's about time we all stand up to calling these stupid religions what they are... Superstition and mass hysteria at their worst. I can't fault anyone for believing in God because I can't prove he doesn't exist any more than they can prove he does. But religion is a complete sham made up by sick (mostly) old men-with-beards and the idiots who follow them deserve everything bad that happens. Unfortunately the babies and children who have no choice in the matter pay the ultimate price.
It's time we made our laws come first and quit promoting religion. In fact maybe that's the argument against God. If he did exist and actually cared, he wouldn't let evil old men do these things to children and other innocent people.
I find it disturbing reading all these comments on a jewish web site deploring circumcision. Circumcision is one of the fundamental laws of Judaism. Being Jewish is not a choice, if you are born jewish, you remain so. If jews believe in the torah, there is no possible way your can remove a fundamental aspect in Judaism. Soon they'll say to stop observing the sabbath. Oh right, they already did that. Maybe these same people will tell jews to stop sending there kids to private day school. Let the kid grow up and decide for themselves. These secular jews are fighting a losing battle. In fact, why don't we just become Christian and give up already.
Jews will never give up circumcision or any other laws that they might find "archaic". I have never met a single jew that was upset at the fact that he was circumcised as a baby.
You have met one now - I am happy to broaden your experience. Yes, I was born to a Jewish mother - and father - and raised as a Jew. I am both upset by my own circumcision and vehemently opposed to its practice upon infants and minors. And though I happily support some parts of Jewish culture and belief, most importantly "Love thy neighbor as thyself", don't you or anyone else dare tell me that because I was born into a particular community that I am therefore obligated to drink the Kool Aid of its various irrational dogmas and received superstitions. Furthermore, I would be delighted to become a righteous gentile compared to the kind of Jew who selfishly and recklessly endangers children or demands that women go to the back of the bus because his personal rights are somehow more important.
Jews gave up animal sacrifice and slavery - why can't they give up circumcision as well? Don't we have better things to do that to fetishize ritual and to worship tradition for its own sake? Don't we have better things to teach our children? FYI - The issue today is not that Jews will convert to Christianity; the issue is that many Jews and Christians have already decided that apart from weddings, funerals, and end-of-year holidays, religion itself is a toxic relic. I truly believe that if Judaism or any other aspect of human culture cannot adapt, then eventually it will not survive. I am proud of those aspects of Judaism which embrace the principles of the 18th Century Enlightenment, which gave us men and women such as Albert Einstein, Isaiah Berlin, Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt, and I am repulsed by the Haredim who seek to send Jews, and everyone else back into some dystopic fantasy of historic reenactment.
And though I do not usually place bets, I am willing to wager that unless Jews lead the way in eliminating Metzitzah B'peh, they will only guarantee that others will eliminate Metzitzah B'peh, Brit Milah, and many other things as well for them. You might ask some Catholic officials how systematic protection of child abuse over the years has worked out for them. Immutable tradition plus 21st Century weapons plus Global Warming is a recipe for nothing kosher, halal, or good.
The rights of parents should not be infringed upon. Just about everything a parent does for their child can potentially cause harm. For example, does this mean that parents shouldn't teach their child how to ride a bike because they could get hurt? Maybe the government should mandate them to sign an informed consent form before teaching their child to ride a bike?
One is left wondering in what other context could an adult place a child's penis in his mouth and escape prosecution.
It is irrelevant what the "secular" law on MBP is because MBP will still be done by Jewish people.
The case where it was suspected that a child had been tragically harmed by a virus allegedly transmitted during MBP was more likely to have been the virus transmitted to the baby by his two infected siblings.
For the "secular" brains out there, imagine the apparent "co-incidence" that the circumcision appears to have many health benefits associated with it. There are no co –incidences. It was and is as intended.
Let's get one thing straight, Religion is OPTIONAL, it is like cake, you might like cake, but that gives you no right to force me to eat cake. You have all the rights in the world for YOU, yourself to eat that cake. But you do not have any right, even if it's your own child to force them to eat your cake. If they want your cake as they get older by their own choice, great! If not, respect their decision, in the mean time... Keep your cake to yourself.
This starts talking about the danger to children but then segues to mention an even larger danger - the danger of talking about Metziza B'Pe (MBP). Children's pain and rights are sucked into oblivion by this society. Here's to keeping up appearances...
Rabbi Lapin- purpose of a boy's circumcision is a sign "upon his penis to remind him that what he does with it is of communal concern."
MPB is just the noisy tip of the problem The growing anti circumcision noise is not against Jews and not against Judaism. It is against a passé mutilative practice that is seen as a violation of human individual rights; a sacrificial relic of an ancient time and one that Jews should now abandon without reservation. Just as modern society has given up such practices as slavery, stoning to death adulterers, and those who did not observe the sabbath, the sexual mutilation of infants, male or female, will not be tolerated in a modern world. It is time to drop it and move on. It might be instructive for Jews to look back into their history and see how they dropped slavery and still survived. Then Jews should lead - lead this movement away from sexual mutilation of infants. The MPB informed consent law is a wake-up call; times are changing and we all must change or become extinct.
A court has ruled that a risk of one in 14,000 (of loss of sight in an eye operation) is enough to require patients to be warned. A Brazilian study suggests that the risk of death from circumcision is one in 7700 (presumably somewhat less in the USA, but scandalously, there are no better figures).
Risk is not the only issue. There is also the issue of permanent, lifelong body modification without the informed consent of the person most directly affected, in fact the only person directly affected. And newborn babies are not sent skiing or playing football without their consent ....
Your religious rights stop where another individuals' genitals start. You can't mutilate female genitals under religious freedom, you can't tattoo a pentagram on a baby's forehead for religious reasons. Just because you think your religion gives you permission to mutilate an infant's genitals, doesn't mean you should. Hopefully someday the practice will be illegal and the child's rights to bodily integrity will be respected.
I wonder if there is a way to welcome baby boys and baby girls into the covenant equally.
When I reflect on halacha, I have faith that the intention is more important than the rule. I sense the intention of circumcision is to devote ourselves and our families to God. I am hopeful that we can fulfill this intention by doing as Moses instructed by circumcising the foreskins of our hearts. It seems possible to me that Moses had whole sexual anatomy and never made the choice to have part of it cut off, and yet he chose to circumcise his heart and open it fully to God. I am inspired that the instructions given by Moses can be followed in choice by both men and women equally.
I want to be very clear that I am not against the mitzvah of circumcision. We can מוּל by cutting the foreskins of our hearts in spirit, so I wonder if we can מוּל by cutting the foreskin of a penis in spirit as well. The covenant does not specify how to circumcise.
I would like the circumcision of children to be performed in a way that keeps their sexual anatomy whole. I wonder if the covenant could be fulfilled by sliding a metal ring onto a child's penis to imprint a mark in the flesh of the foreskin for the ceremony. I also wonder if the covenant could be fulfilled by the mother touching blood to the child's genitals as Zipporah did to Moses's genitals on the way to Egypt. After that, the Lord let him alone. This circumcision would celebrate a mother's role as protector.
If an adult wants to have his or her own foreskin cut off, I support that freedom of choice. I ask that we please protect the freedom of children to make their own choice about their sexual anatomy when they are old enough to make such a complicated and personal decision.
Cutting off parts of children's sexual organs in the name of religion, culture, or parents personal preference is unjustifiable. This abuse is finally getting the scrutiny it so deserves. No excuse- none.

Cast: Trent Tesoro, Maria Belluci, Marco Banderas, Jenner, James Deen, Jennifer Dark, Brooke (formerly Brooke Banner), Victoria Sin, Courtney James, Monique Alexander, Voodoo
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
In a classroom, a gym and all over town, Monique and her nubile friends get schooled in the art of passionate, spontaneous, public sex ... and in the process, three of them do anal, in two scorching scenes. Close the book on boring. Open yourself up to Monique's Dirty Stories ... a whole new chapter in hot.
This collection of plotted mini-features varies in interest and sexual intensity. Dirty Stories attempts to tell five sexually-oriented tales with as little dialogue as possible, while still delivering the hardcore goods.
The better sequences involve an artist, Marco Banderas, and two lovelies (Victoria Sin and Jennifer Dark) who get banged in his studio; Brooke Banner and James Deen pulling up next to each other in their cars, making eye contact and each masturbating until they rendezvous for a rambunctious hardcore scene; and a very basic but sexy scene with Monique Alexander and Trent Tesoro. Two other three-way scenes (one with Monique, Courtney James and Voodoo and the other involving Maria Bellucci, Banderas and Jenner in a boxing ring) have lots of sex, anal included, but are shot lazily with long, repetitive sequences and seem to fall flat.
Vignettes are economical and if well produced can provide as much spark in one scene as they do in a whole feature. That being the case, three out of five ain't bad.

United States
#14 Dec 14, 2009
i've often found that people who talk about other people and make fun of other people have extremely low self esteem.they have to make other people feel bad and embarrass other people in order to make themselves feel good.they're usually jealous of that person and they are usually on medication for being nuts or they need to be.they are the type who have no friends but they think they do. they don't really know that other people avoid them as much as possible. i'll bet you've visited someone and they've said to you i'm so sorry but i was just on my way out, i have an appointment, and you thought they were telling the truth. i've been around a lot of nuts like you and believe me i've got away as soon as possible.and from what i can tell the roses in pound haven't bothered anybody.they work which you probably don't,they pay taxes which you probably don't because you're probably on the draw well because like i said you probably have problems. so if you ain't too lazy to type you can answer me if you want to and if not you can just kiss mine and all the rose's butts.

Men's Top 6 Health Concerns
Depression in Men
In this article
While clinical depression was once considered a "woman's disease," more than 6 million men in the U.S. have depression each year. Unfortunately, the lingering image of depression as a female condition may keep men who are clinically depressed from recognizing the symptoms of depression and seeking treatment.
Depression actually affects both sexes. It disrupts relationships and interferes with work and daily activities. The symptoms of depression in men are similar to the symptoms of depression in women. But men tend to express those symptoms differently. Common symptoms of depression include loss of interest in usually pleasurable activities, fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and apathy. In women, depression may be more likely to cause feelings of sadness and worthlessness. Depression in men, on the other hand, may be more likely to cause them to become withdrawn or to feel irritable, aggressive, or hostile.
Recommended Related to Depression
Treatment-Resistant Depression Care
There is no universally agreed upon approach to controlling treatment-resistant depression, also referred to as TRD. Your treatment will depend on your doctor's expertice as well as your own needs, concerns, and medical history. But while the details may vary, most doctors follow the same basic pattern. Here is a rough outline of how your doctor might treat your depression. If you have treatment-resistant depression, your depression has already typically failed to respond to two or more treatments,...
Read the Treatment-Resistant Depression Care article > >
Why is depression in men commonly not recognized?
There are several reasons why the symptoms of clinical depression in men are not commonly recognized. For example, men tend to deny having problems because they are supposed to "be strong." And American culture suggests that expressing emotion is largely a feminine trait. As a result, men who are depressed are more likely to talk about the physical symptoms of their depression -- such as feeling tired --- rather than symptoms related to emotions.
Does depression in men affect sexual desire and performance?
Yes. Depression in men can affect sexual desire and performance. Unfortunately, some antidepressants and other medications can do the same. Men often are unwilling to admit to problems with their sexuality. Many mistakenly feel that the problems are related to their manhood, when, in fact, they are caused by a medical problem such as clinical depression.
What are some observable symptoms of depression in men?
Men are less likely to show more "typical" signs of depression such as sadness. Depression in men may cause them to keep their feelings hidden. Instead of expressing a depressed mood, they may seem more irritable and aggressive.
For these reasons, many men -- as well as doctors and other health care professionals -- may fail to recognize the problem as depression.

Articles from Britannica encyclopedias for elementary and high school students.

(born 1938). Architect Moshe Safdie worked on numerous projects during his long career, including individual buildings and urban centers. He was well known for designing Habitat '67 at the site of Expo 67, a yearlong international exhibition at Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Habitat '67 was a prefabricated concrete housing complex comprising three clusters of individual apartment units arranged like irregularly stacked blocks along a zigzagged framework. This bold experiment gained intense international interest at the time, but it failed to initiate a trend toward the mass production of such low-cost units.
