text: Close Rare Photos of Steve Nash Eight-time NBA All-Star and two-time MVP Steve Nash, who officially announced his retirement from basketball on March 21, 2015, is training with the National Premier Soccer League's New York Cosmos B team. He was apparently added to the roster as "Stephen Nash" on Sunday July 5, but did not play. Here's a look back at Nash's life in photos, including his days as a pint-sized soccer player and grocery shopping with Grant Hill. 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Courtesy of the Nash family circa 1975 The two-time NBA MVP was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on Feb. 7, 1974. 1|32 Courtesy of the Nash family 1980s His father played professional soccer and the family lived in a number of places before setting in Victoria City near Vancouver. 2|32 Courtesy of the Nash family 1980s Like most Canadian boys, Nash quickly fell in love with hockey. His favorite team was the Vancouver Canucks and his favorite player was Wayne Gretzky. He also played lacrosse and rugby, but didn't discover basketball until the eighth grade. 3|32 John W. McDonough for Sports Illustrated 1995 Though he was one of the top basketball players in Canada, Nash was not highly regarded as a recruit. The only scholarship offer he received was to Santa Clara, on the condition that Nash improve his suspect defense. 4|32 John W. McDonough for Sports Illustrated 1995 Nash was an immediate hit on the court, leading Santa Clara to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in five years. The No. 15 Broncos upset Arizona in the first round before losing to Temple the following game. Despite the loss, Nash had Santa Clara on the national radar. He would lead the team to two more tournament appearances over the next three years as he garnered a reputation as one of the nation's top point guards. 5|32 Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images 1996 Nash was selected by Phoenix with the 15th pick in the first round. He was considered the best pure point guard in the draft, compared to the natural scorers like Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury, who were also listed at the position. 6|32 Eduardo Di Baia/AP 1997 Nash also competed for the Canadian National Team, culminating in the team's appearance at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. He also captained the team in 2004, but it did not qualify for an Olympic spot. In this photo, Nash drives around Cuba's Yudi Abreu during a Tournament of the Americas game in Montevideo, Uruguay. 7|32 Jeffrey Lowe for Sports Illustrated 2001 After two mediocre seasons in Phoenix, Nash was traded to Dallas for Martin Muursepp, Bubba Wells, Pat Garrity and a first-round draft pick. The Mavs struggled at first, but the drafting of Dirk Nowitzki and the acquisition of Michael Finley and Juwan Howard turned the Mavericks into contenders. The person with the biggest impact on Dallas' success was Mark Cuban, who purchased the team in 2000 and instantly turned them into contenders. 8|32 Jeffery A. Salter for Sports Illustrated 2002 Under Cuban (second from left), the Mavs capitalized on the NBA's growth in international players including Eduardo Najera (Mexico), Wang Zhizhi (China), Steve Nash (Canada), Tariq Abdul-Wahad (France) and Dirk Nowitzki (Germany). 9|32 Andy Hayt/NBAE/Getty Images 2002 Nash poses with the Western Conference All-Stars during the NBA's 2002 All-Star Weekend in Philadelphia. The point guard dished out nine assists in the team's 135-120 triumph. 10|32 AP 2003 Nash and then-Mavericks teammate Dirk Nowitzki take in an April 2003 Rangers game. The two made quite the tandem that year, with Nash averaging 17.7 points and 7.3 assists per game and Nowitzki racking up 25.1 points per game. Dallas advanced to the Western Conference Finals before falling to the San Antonio Spurs. 11|32 John W.

McDonough for Sports Illustrated 2010 A dynamic duo, Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire share an embrace during Game 2 of the 2010 Western Conference Finals. The Suns would drop the contest 124-112, but would stun the Lakers for victories in Games 3 and 4 to even the series at two.

LONDON (AP) -Back in the Premier League after a miserable spell at Chelsea, Andre Villas-Boas is still searching for his first win as Tottenham manager after a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Norwich on Saturday.
The Portuguese coach was hoping to repair his reputation at White Hart Lane after being fired by Chelsea after just eight months last season, but Robert Snodgrass' 85th-minute equalizer leaves Spurs with just two points from three matches. Mousa Dembele had put Tottenham ahead with a fine debut goal in the 68th minute, four days after joining from Fulham for 15 million pounds ($23.8 million).
Swansea missed the chance to climb to the summit above early leader Chelsea by drawing 2-2 with Sunderland, needing Michu's fourth goal of the season to salvage a point.
West Bromwich Albion beat Everton 2-0 to go third, while West Ham eased past Fulham 3-0 following an encouraging debut from Andy Carroll after his loan move from Liverpool. Wigan drew 2-2 with Stoke.
Defending champion Manchester City hosts Queens Park Rangers later Saturday as it looks to go level on points with Swansea and West Brom.
After a 2-1 loss at Newcastle and a home draw with West Brom, Villas-Boas will have been hoping for much more against Norwich, which had conceded five goals in its only other away game this season - at Fulham.
However, Dembele's goal, a fine effort from the edge of the area after finding space with a neat turn, came slightly against the run of play and Norwich deserved the point earned by Snodgrass' low finish into the corner.
Tottenham finished the game with 10 men after substitute Tom Huddlestone's harsh late sending-off for a tackle on Jonny Howson and the team was booed off by the home fans.
"I understand why the fans are frustrated," Villas-Boas said. "No one wants to draw two games at home like that but we will replay their faith. It is only our third game, so it may take some patience."
Tottenham was without late transfer deadline-day signings Clint Dempsey and Hugo Lloris, who joined the club late Friday from Fulham and Lyon, respectively. Lloris, the France goalkeeper, may struggle to get in the side, though, after Brad Friedel's impressive display against Norwich.
Swansea, managed by Denmark great Michael Laudrup, dropped points for the first time this season but stayed unbeaten thanks to Michu's header in the 66th.
Steven Fletcher, making his first start for Sunderland since his 12 million pound ($19 million) move from Wolverhampton Wanderers, had twice given the visitors the lead just before half time.
"It takes a lot of pressure off to get the two goals." Fletcher said. "The manager told me there's no pressure on me and hopefully I've repaid him with the goals today."
Wayne Routledge scored the first equalizer, and Swansea also ended the match with 10 men after Chico was red-carded for a rough challenge on Louis Saha.
West Brom is the other surprise name near the top of the standings after Shane Long and Gareth McAuley scored second-half goals to overcome Everton.
It's been a great start to managerial life for Steve Clarke, who has made his name as an assistant coach at clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool.
"It's been a pleasing start," Clarke said. "I'm beginning to sound like broken gramophone but the players have been fantastic. They work ever so hard and I think we deserved the three points."
Carroll, hoping to revive his career at West Ham after it stalled at Liverpool following a 35 million pound (then $56 million) move, didn't score against Fulham but he helped set up Kevin Nolan's opener after 53 seconds and was a handful all day for the visiting defense before going off with a hamstring problem in the second half.
Winston Reid and Matt Taylor were West Ham's other scorers in the second half as Fulham began life without Dembele and Dempsey with a resounding loss.

Kansas State gets No. 1 QB back, Texas using two
DALLAS -- Kansas State gets back its No. 1 quarterback just in time for the Big 12 opener.
After missing two games with an injured left, non-throwing hand, Ell Roberson returns for the No. 16 Wildcats (4-1) on Saturday at No. 13 Texas (3-1), which plans to keep using two quarterbacks.
The Longhorns bounced back from a loss to Arkansas by effectively using both Chance Mock and Vince Young in a 63-18 win over Tulane last week. Kansas State will try to recover from a loss to Marshall in its last game without Roberson.
"They've got new hope," said Texas coach MackBrown said. "Ell's back. He's their identity."
Besides Kansas State-Texas, there are three other Big 12 openers Saturday. No. 1 Oklahoma (4-0) plays at Iowa State (2-2); Texas A&M (2-2) goes to Texas Tech (3-1); and Colorado (2-2) is at Baylor (2-2).
No. 12 Nebraska (4-0) and Oklahoma State (3-1) play the Big 12's last non-conference games this season, both at home. The Cornhuskers play Troy State, and the Cowboys play Louisiana-Lafayette.
Kansas (4-1) has an open date after a four-game winning streak. Missouri (4-1), knocked out of the Top 25 after its 35-14 loss to the archrival Jayhawks last week, also doesn't play.
Texas has a new two-quarterback tandem. Mock is the starter, but Young rotated in about every third series in blowout wins over Rice and Tulane.Brown said Young, who didn't take a snap against Arkansas, will play against Kansas State.
Oklahoma went undefeated in conference play for the fourth straight year. Iowa State has consecutive losses after just one pre-October loss the previous three seasons.
The Sooners have outscored their opponents 42-17 this season, and have dominated the series against Iowa State 64-5-2. And Oklahoma has made the most of open dates during the regular season under coach Bob Stoops, going 6-0 the week after by an average margin of 21 points.
Texas A&M has to be wary about facing a Texas Tech quarterback.
Last year, Kliff Kingsbury hit 49 of 59 passes for 474 yards and five TDs in a 48-47 overtime win over the Aggies. Kingsbury's gone, but his replacement, B.J. Symons, has set Big 12 records for passing yards the past two games (586 yards at North Carolina State and 661 at Mississippi).
Texas A&M hasn't won in Lubbock in 10 years, and is coming off consecutive losses to Top 25 teams Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh.
Colorado has given up 47 points in consecutive losses, 47-7 at Florida State and 47-26 to Washington State. Baylor has won just one of its last 37 conference games, and lost 34-0 to the Buffaloes last season.
Still, Colorado coach Gary Barnett insists the two-time defending Big 12 North Division champion won't overlook Baylor.
"Trust me, there won't be any trouble getting up for Baylor. We're a humble football team," Barnett said. "We better be glad that we have another game to play after our last two performances."
Buffs quarterback Joel Klatt could return from a shoulder injury, but Barnett said running back Bobby Purify won't because of an ankle injury.
Nebraska has the nation's top-ranked defense, allowing just 236 yards per game and forcing 15 turnovers. Troy State (3-2) has lost in Lincoln the last two years by a combined 73-30 score.
Oklahoma State, playing for the first time since Josh Fields threw seven TD passes to Rashaun Woods at SMU on Sept. 20, tries to improve to 4-1 for only the second time since 1988, when the Cowboys won a school-record 10 games. Louisiana-Lafayette (0-5) has lost all four previous games in the series.

Marco Rubio: I'm Ready to Be President, But So Are a Lot of People
He need to work on his confidence.
Much like Rand Paul, Marco Rubio isn't being very coy about his desire to run for president in 2016, and in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's This Week, he hit all the important points for a potential GOP presidential candidate. In addition to declaring that Hillary Clinton was a failure as secretary of state and making another dig at Paul for planning to run for the senate and presidency simultaneously, Rubio dismissed concerns about climate change without explicitly denying that humans have some effect on the planet. "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it," he said. Now, Rubio just needs to work on his confidence.
The Florida senator was asked twice if he thinks he's ready to be president, and both times he quickly declared, "I do," but followed up with a caveat. "I think that's true for multiple other people that would want to run," said Rubio. "I think a president has to have a clear vision of where the country needs to go, and clear ideas about how to get it there and I think we're very blessed in our party to have a number of people that fit that criteria." So vote for Rubio in 2016 ... or Chris Christie, or maybe Jeb Bush. Those guys have some good ideas too.

Development of a Plant-based Vaccine aganist HIV

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Plant-based vaccines have now been proven to impart resistance to various viral and bacterial diseases in animals and in humans. These vaccines can be produced in a transgenic plant product such as corn flour. When ingested, the protein subunit induces a mucosal immune response. At the same time, some of the protein epitope induces a serum immune response. Plant-based vaccines, produces in grain, have several advantages including not needing a cold chain or needles. Any HIV immunogens will have excellent stability within the dry corn seed matrix allowing accurate dosing. Extremely inexpensive to produce, plant-based vaccines in corn seed make the ideal delivery system for protein subunit vaccines in areas of the world where a reliable cold chain, needle disposal and top quality medical personnel are issues of great importance. One plant-based vaccine has recently been shown to induce high antibody titers in the colostrums of postpartum female animals. Titers induced by the plant-based vaccine in corn was several-fold higher than using an existing injectable commercial vaccine. Thus, an HIV plant-based vaccine may have promise in controlling HIV transmission from an infected mother to infant through breast milk. We propose to put genes encoding three different HIV immunogens into individual corn lines. Seed material containing each HIV protein would be produced and analyzed for protein expression. High expressing lines will be selected for further development. Animal feeding studies would be conducted during a Phase II grant. Several new HIV gp120-related immunogens have been developed recently and these would make ideal candidates for an edible vaccine. We propose testing a gp120 subtype B strain, a gp140 version of that same strain, and a consensus env sequence recently published by Gaschen et al. (2002, Science 296:2354).

Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Rootsby Deborah Feldman

In this arresting memoir about growing up in—and ultimately escaping from—a strict Hasidic community, Deborah Feldman reveals what life is like trapped within a religious sect that values silence and suffering over individual freedoms. The Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism is as mysterious as it is intriguing to outsiders. Unorthodox sheds new light on this subculture through one woman's harrowing tale of repression and self-discovery.
Raised in the cloistered world of Brooklyn's Satmar Hasidim, Deborah Feldman struggled as a naturally curious child to make sense of and obey the rigid strictures that governed her daily life. From what she could read to whom she could speak with, virtually every aspect of her identity was tightly controlled. Married at age seventeen to a man she had only met for thirty minutes, and denied a traditional education—sexual or otherwise—she was unable to consummate the relationship for an entire year. Her resultant debilitating anxiety went undiagnosed and was exacerbated by the public shame of having failed to serve her husband. In exceptional prose, Feldman recalls how stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to see an alternative way of life—one she knew she had to seize when, at the age of nineteen, she gave birth to a son and realized that more than just her own future was at stake.
Unorthodox is a captivating odyssey through adversity and a groundbreaking look into Orthodox Jewish culture.
Editorial Reviews
"Deborah Feldman was raised in an insular, oppressive world where she was taught that, as a woman, she wasn't capable of independent thought. But she found the pluck and determination needed to make the break from that world and has written a brave, riveting account of her journey. Unorthodox is harrowing, yet triumphant."—Jeannette Walls, #1 bestselling author of The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses
"[Feldman's] matter-of-fact style masks some penetrating insights."—The New York Times
"An unprecedented view into a Hasidic community that few outsiders ever experience. . . . Unorthodox reminds us that there are religious communities in the United States that restrict young women to marriage and motherhood. These women are expected to be obedient to their community and religion, without question or complaint, no matter the price."—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Riveting . . . extraordinary."—Marie Claire
"Eloquent, appealing, and just emotional enough . . . No doubt girls all over Brooklyn are buying this book, hiding it under their mattresses, reading it after lights out—and contemplating, perhaps for the first time, their own escape."—HuffingtonPost.com
"Deborah Feldman has stripped the cloak off the insular Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, offering outsiders a rare glimpse into the ultraconservative world in which she was raised."—Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Compulsively readable, Unorthodox relates a unique coming-of-age story that manages to speak personally to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in her own life. Feldman bravely lays her soul bare, unflinchingly sharing intimate thoughts and ideas unthinkable within the deeply religious existence of the Satmars. . . . Teens will devour this candid, detailed memoir of an insular way of life so unlike that of the surrounding society."—School Library Journal
"[Feldman's] no-holds-barred memoir bookstores on February 14th. And it's not exactly a Valentine to the insular world of shtreimels, sheitels and shtiebels. Instead, [Unorthodox] describes an oppressive community in which secular education is minimal, outsiders are feared and disdained, English-language books are forbidden, mental illness is left untreated, abuse and other crimes go unreported . . . a surprisingly moving, well-written and vivid coming-of-age tale."—The Jewish Week
"Imagine Frank McCourt as a Jewish virgin, and you've got Unorthodox in a nutshell . . . a sensitive and memorable coming-of-age story."—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[Deborah Feldman's] is an extraordinary story of struggle and dream. . . . Both her escape and her decision to tell her story are magnificent acts of courage."—Anouk Markovits, author of I Am Forbidden
"Unorthodox is a fascinating book . . . Feldman's voice resonates throughout."—The Jewish Daily Forward
"Denied every kind of nourishment except the doughy, shimmering plates of food obsessively produced by her Holocaust-survivor grandmother . . . books nourish [Feldman's] spirit and put in her hands the liberatory power of storytelling. As she becomes a reader and then a writer, Feldman reinvents herself as a human being."—Newsday (New York)
"Unorthodoz is painfully good. . . .Unlike so many other authors who have left Orthodoxy and written about it, [Feldman's] heart is not hardened by hatred, and her spirit is wounded but intact. . . . She is a sensitive and talented writer."—JewishJournal.com
"Unorthodox is consistently engaging. And the very fact of it is touching. For years . . . [Feldman] examined library shelves, marveling that there were so many men and women who believed in their 'innate right . . . to speak their mind in whatever way they saw fit.' That she has joined their ranks is remarkable indeed."—BarnesandNobleReview.com
"Feldman gives us special insight into a closed and repressive world. . . . Her memoir is fresh and tart and utterly absorbing."—Library Journal
"Nicely written . . . [An] engaging and at times gripping insight into Brooklyn's Hasidic community."—Publishers Weekly
"A remarkable tale."—Kirkus Reviews
"Feldman's evolution as well as her look inside a closed community make for fascinating reading … her storyteller's sense and a keen eye for details give readers a you-are-there sense of what it is like to be different when everyone else is the same."—Booklist

Read an Excerpt
On the eve of my twenty-fourth birthday I interview my mother. We meet at a vegetarian restaurant in Manhattan, one that announces itself as organic and farm-fresh, and despite my recent penchant for all things pork and shellfish, I am looking forward to the simplicity the meal promises. The waiter who serves us is conspicuously gentile-looking, with scruffy blond hair and big blue eyes. He treats us like royalty because we are on the Upper East Side and are prepared to shell out a hundred bucks for a lunch consisting largely of vegetables. I think it is ironic that he doesn't know that the two of us are outsiders, that he automatically takes our existence for granted. I never thought this day would come.
Before we met, I told my mother that I had some questions for her. Although we've spent more time together over the past year than we did in all my teenage years put together, thus far I've mostly avoided talking about the past. Perhaps I did not want to know. Maybe I didn't want to find out that whatever information had been fed to me about my mother was wrong, or maybe I didn't want to accept that it was right. Still, publishing my life story calls for scrupulous honesty, and not just my own.
A year ago to this date I left the Hasidic community for good. I am twenty-four and I still have my whole life ahead of me. My son's future is chock-full of possibilities. I feel as if I have made it to the starting line of a race just in time to hear the gun go off. Looking at my mother, I understand that there might be similarities between us, but the differences are more glaringly obvious. She was older when she left, and she didn't take me with her. Her journey speaks more of a struggle for security than happiness. Our dreams hover above us like clouds, and mine seem bigger and fluffier than her wispy strip of cirrus high in a winter sky.
As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted everything from life, everything it can possibly give me. This desire separates me from people who are willing to settle for less. I cannot even comprehend how people's desires can be small, their ambitions narrow and limited, when the possibilities are so endless. I do not know my mother well enough to understand her dreams; for all I know, they seem big and important to her, and I want to respect that. Surely, for all our differences, there is that thread of common ground, that choice we both made for the better.
My mother was born and raised in a German Jewish community in England. While her family was religious, they were not Hasidic. A child of divorce, she describes her young self as troubled, awkward, and unhappy. Her chances of marrying, let alone marrying well, were slim, she tells me. The waiter puts a plate of polenta fries and some black beans in front of her, and she shoves her fork in a fry.
When the choice of marrying my father came along, it seemed like a dream, she says between bites. His family was wealthy, and they were desperate to marry him off. He had siblings waiting for him to get engaged so that they could start their own lives. He was twenty-four, unthinkably old for a good Jewish boy, too old to be single. The older they get, the less likely they are to be married off. Rachel, my mother, was my father's last shot.
Everyone in my mother's life was thrilled for her, she remembers. She would get to go to America! They were offering a beautiful, brand-new apartment, fully furnished. They offered to pay for everything. She would receive beautiful clothes and jewelry. There were many sisters-in-law who were excited to become her friends.
"So they were nice to you?" I ask, referring to my aunts and uncles, who, I remember, mostly looked down on me for reasons I could never fully grasp.
"In the beginning, yes," she says. "I was the new toy from England, you know. The thin, pretty girl with the funny accent."
She saved them all, the younger ones. They were spared the fate of getting older in their singlehood. In the beginning, they were grateful to see their brother married off.
"I made him into a mensch," my mother tells me. "I made sure he always looked neat. He couldn't take care of himself, but I did. I made him look better; they didn't have to be so ashamed of him anymore."
Shame is all I can recall of my feelings for my father. When I knew him, he was always shabby and dirty, and his behavior was childlike and inappropriate.
"What do you think of my father now?" I ask. "What do you think is wrong with him?"
"Oh, I don't know. Delusional, I suppose. Mentally ill."
"Really? You think it's all that? You don't think he was just plain mentally retarded?"
"Well, he saw a psychiatrist once after we were married, and the psychiatrist told me he was pretty sure your father had some sort of personality disorder, but there was no way to tell, because your father refused to cooperate with further testing and never went back for treatment."
"Well, I don't know," I say thoughtfully. "Aunt Chaya told me once that he was diagnosed as a child, with retardation. She said his IQ was sixty-six. There's not much you can do about that."
"They didn't even try, though," my mother insists. "They could have gotten him some treatment."
I nod. "So in the beginning, they were nice to you. But what happened after?" I remember my aunts talking about my mother behind her back, saying hateful things.
"Well, after the fuss calmed down, they started to ignore me. They would do things and leave me out of it. They looked down on me because I was from a poor family, and they had all married money and come from money and they lived different lives. Your father couldn't earn any money, and neither could I, so your grandfather supported us. But he was stingy, counting out the bare minimum for groceries. He was very smart, your zeide, but he didn't understand people. He was out of touch with reality."
I still feel a little sting when someone says something bad about my family, as if I have to defend them.
"Your bubbe, on the other hand, she had respect for me, I could tell. No one ever listened to her, and certainly she was more intelligent and open-minded than anyone gave her credit for."
"Oh, I agree with that!" I'm thrilled to find we have some common ground, one family member whom we both see the same way. "She was like that to me too; she respected me even when everyone else thought I was just troublesome."
"Yes, well . . . she had no power, though."
So in the end she had nothing to cling to, my mother. No husband, no family, no home. In college, she would exist, would have purpose, direction. You leave when there's nothing left to stay for; you go where you can be useful, where people accept you.
The waiter comes to the table holding a chocolate brownie with a candle stuck in it. "Happy birthday to you . . . ," he sings softly, meeting my eyes for a second. I look down, feeling my cheeks redden.
"Blow out the candle," my mother urges, taking out her camera. I want to laugh. I bet the waiter thinks that I'm just like every other birthday girl going out with her mom, and that we do this every year. Would anyone guess that my mother missed most of my birthdays growing up? How can she be so quick to jump back into things? Does it feel natural to her? It certainly doesn't feel that way to me.
After both of us have devoured the brownie, she pauses and wipes her mouth. She says that she wanted to take me with her, but she couldn't. She had no money. My father's family threatened to make her life miserable if she tried to take me away. Chaya, the oldest aunt, was the worst, she says. "I would visit you and she would treat me like garbage, like I wasn't your mother, had never given birth to you. Who gave her the right, when she wasn't even blood?" Chaya married the family's oldest son and immediately took control of everything, my mother recalls. She always had to be the boss, arranging everything, asserting her opinions everywhere.
And when my mother left my father for good, Chaya took control of me too. She decided that I would live with my grandparents, that I would go to Satmar school, that I would marry a good Satmar boy from a religious family. It was Chaya who, in the end, taught me to take control of my own life, to become iron-fisted like she was, and not let anyone else force me to be unhappy.
It was Chaya who convinced Zeidy to talk to the matchmaker, I learned, even though I had only just turned seventeen. In essence, she was my matchmaker; she was the one who decided to whom I was to be married. I'd like to hold her responsible for everything I went through as a result, but I am too wise for that. I know the way of our world, and the way people get swept along in the powerful current of our age-old traditions.

"Unorthodox" is an authentic, gripping narrative of the author's experiences growing up in an oppressive religious Hasidic community, and of how she courageously walked away from that community to provide a better life for herself and her child. Having lived many years in that community myself, I can attest to the veracity of the author's description of the Hasidic lifestyle, as well as relate to the challenges she faced in leaving, and the exhilaration of being able to freely explore the world outside. The story, while poignant, also has its humorous moments. It is certainly as entertaining to read as it is informative, and for those looking for a good book to read it will not disappoint.
I read the many reviews of this book and I found only about half to be an actual review of the book or the writing, the other half were personal attacks on the author and that does nothing for the satmar cause, nor is it a considered a review. Im sure this book is going to anger some people because it opens the veil of hasidic secrecy. But this is a place to review the writing and the storyline. People shouting LIES! LIES! is annoying and desperate. This is HER memoir, she has every right to tell it how she saw it and lived it. So therefore it is not a lie. You are not coming across with a worthwhile point. And I seriously crack up on the people that say they personally know very religious Hasids and they arent like "that". For one, Hasids dont associate with gentiles,never have, especially Satmar's. And if by chance they "have" too, I can guarantee they are not going to be offering (you) up any details of private hasidic life. Please review the book only if you have actually read it, and are not just here to B*tch about the author personally. The book in itself was a fabulous read, well written. I want to know more of this story. I would read another book by this author. The only part I feel was lacking was that I wish she would have detailed more in the end about how the families reacted and where everyone is now. Maybe that can be in the follow up? The book is short for a memoir ( slightly less than 300 pages) but was filled with complexity, worthwhile pages and the extra "fluff" sometimes used to fill pages was left out. That part I appreciated. After page 200 I found I could not put the book down and stayed up well into the wee hours to finish the book. Highly recommend.
I noticed there are many negative reviews, but the readers never indicate that they've actually read the book. Since I have read the book, I will say it's carefully written. While Deborah details the daily life of the Satmars, she's also very conscious not to add too much judgment. Her writing seems very honest. For example, she conveys an awareness of the material things she covets after her engagement and marriage. One thing the Satmars who are angry with Deborah and also Deborah herself doesn't seem to notice. The reason she noticed what was missing in her life was because she dipped her toes into our pool. In essence, she ate from the tree of knowledge, and once she did, she was unable to feel satisfied with the life she had. Being treated as an outcast by her own family, what did she really have to lose? I came across a few sites where people are defaming her, and I'm sure the Satmars are unhappy mostly because they are private and exclusive and she's basically torn the veil off their secret society, but so it goes. This is her story, and if it doesn't align with other Satmars, so be it. That doesn't mean it isn't true.
As a nurse who works with this community I found this book reinforced what I already knew about the Satmar Hasidics. It helped me to understand them a little better and to not take personally their behavior towards me. I give Deborah Feldman so much credit for making a new life for herself and her son and hope that she succeeds in all she does! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about an insular and cultish community living their highly restricted lives right in the middle of modern and progressive Brooklyn!
I worked with people from this community for years and I believe every word she's written. I know that there is a big review war about this book on Amazon, but know, Deborah Feldman is a gifted writer and an extra ordinrily brave woman!!! Kudos on the success of this powerful and inspirational book!
I found this book very intresting. I did enjoy reading every word. I enjoyed learning about a part of society I did not know anything about. I enjoyed her view point. I don't know very much about this community or this religion so I have to believe the Author. Plus, this is her story and how she saw her life not how people that lived around her saw it. The writing felt somewhat rushed at times. The big stories were there but at some points she will bring something up and then it is like she has a total change of thought and we never hear what happen. I really wish she would have told us more. More, about how her family reacted to her leaving. How her husband's family reacted. What is Eli doing now. Her father. I wanted this book to be more then just about her insentives to leave and more about what happen when she did...there did not seem to be "Scandale" in her leaving. I think is is a very good book that needed a little less editing and a few more details.
It is one persons view people. Get a grip. I liked it.
I read this book because I thought I would be able to relate to Ms. Feldman. I, too, left an insular community (in my case Old Order Amish) in which preserving the collective or community was valued over an individual's freedom. I know what it's like to be required to follow the rules blindly, even when these rules contradict one another and any self-respecting person can't help but question them. I know what it feels like to have my education limited in an intentional attempt to keep me ignorant of the choices I had for charting my own life path. I, too, gravitated towards a college education and eventually graduated from Smith College, but I had to leave my community to be able to do so. Feldman was very resourceful in utilizing the freedoms she did have in moving toward her goal of self-actualization. I did learn about the Satmar community from reading this book, but I was very bored with the first half (the childhood portion) of "Unorthodox." I understand that her childhood was very boring, but the reader should not be bored in reading about it. Perhaps much of this could have been omitted from her story. The other thing that strikes me about Feldman's childhood is that a boring and secure childhood is preferable to one filled with abuse, neglect, or uncertainty. Though her parents did not provide for her, her grandparents did. From Feldman's account it seems they did a fairly decent job of providing for her, which I'm not sure she realizes or appreciates. Perhaps these are the kinds of things she will appreciate later in life. So, given all the parallels between Feldman's life and my own, I was prepared to really enjoy this book. But I really didn't. Even though the book does get less boring when Feldman's struggles begin after her arranged marriage when she is still a teenager, she failed to make me care about her. Yes, of course I have empathy for her in a general way because she is a fellow human, but she didn't make me care about her in a specific way, because I don't feel I got to know her all that well, even after reading a whole book about her. I cared more about her education at Sarah Lawrence College than I did whether people thought she was glamorous or not. She herself seemed distracted from the learning when she wrote: "When the class starts, I can't hear anything the professor is saying because I keep looking down at my legs and smoothing the denim with my fingers." WHO CARES what she was wearing... I want to know what she was LEARNING. I also didn't want to see her take up the nasty habit of smoking by hearing how she pretended she'd been smoking all along, rather than show she was a novice at it. The last photo in the book may as well be a cigarette commercial. Doesn't she realize that smoking is no longer glamorous -- that in fact it has become passe? The emphasis on clothing and other superficial details seemed to be the "screen" she held between me as the reader and the substance of her story. Towards the end of the story, her husband, Eli, goes away for a week. Feldman tells herself that if she cannot make it on her own for a week, then she can't make it on her own permanently, but then she doesn't write about the outcome of that week... I would have rejoiced with her if at the end of the week she discovered that she can indeed make it on her own and use that feeling of accomplishment as an inspiration to make the final break. I didn't get that chance. Overall, I was disappointed with this book... I expected much more. Some people learn what's important in life as they mature. Other people live on a superficial level all their lives. Only time will tell which will be true of Feldman.
Anytime someone breaks away from a religion there seems to be people who are still within that religion who will throw stones at the person who broke away. This was a memoir on the auhor's experience within the Hisidic religion. I found her story moving, informative, engrossing & memorable. Highly recommended.
I just finished reading this book and thought it was very interesting and informative. It was very fascinating to step inside this Hasidic neighborhood and read about the different traditions and customs of this culture. I know the author has taken some flack for writing this but I honestly didn't come away from it with anything more than it being her experiences and her own thoughts and feelings. She articulates her view very well.
Growing up as a hispanic on the lower east side, Manhattan, New York City, I always wonder about the Jewish community. This book was so interesting didnt want it to end.
I really enjoyed this book. Deborah is a brilliant, and I admire her ability to overcome such odds to bring her to where she is today. Learning about this culture was eye opening and i must admit it made me really angry. Once again men made up these so called ways of God, to keep complete control over women. This is a great book, and I hope to read more books of hers in the future.
An interesting follow-up to the "Dovekeepers" for me.
I found your book about your life so real, human and interesting. Good luck with everything and enjoy life to the fullest.
I couldn't put this book down. I find the topic of Hassidism very interesting. I spend summers in the New York Catskill region which is dotted with summer camps for Hassidic children and families. Unfortunately, Deborah Feldman never told us how she was able to take her son when she left the Hassidic community. If a woman leaves the "faith" she is never allowed to take her child (let alone a boy child) with her.
Rough beginning but she hones her craft well. I disliked but understood the emotional distance of the narrator. I did hear a more petulant, spoiled tone once she moved to Airmont that should have been edited to reveal a greater sincerity and empathy on her part. Nonetheless, lovely lyrical language in the second half.
I found this book to be amazing. Her story was moving, and a heartfelt perspective of a rather private world. Regardless of the negative comments left by others who have read this book, this was her story, and it's her life. This is her American dream, and all the hateful comments in the world can't take that away from her.
I was very surprised and shocked to learn about this closed community. I could relate being from Brooklyn ,but at such an age of the author to break free was impressive.. I look forward to more from this young woman.
Could not stop reading!
A must read! Deborah is so brave!
I grew up in Worcester, MA, which has a large Lubavitch population. I'm Jewish, and went to Yeshiva from pre school through 8th grade, when I decided that I wanted to go to public high school. My Yeshiva had a split day Judaic/Secular studies curriculum, but frankly, the secular studies wasn't really that challenging. It was difficult, sure, but for the most part, nothing special or out of the ordinary. There's so much in this book that I can relate to that I don't even know where to start. I'm Jewish, but wasn't Jewish "enough" for my friends (or at least, their families). We practiced at home, but in a way that was convenient for us. My friends could come over after school or on weekends, but they could never eat the food my mom cooked - even though we kept kosher. The only snacks they could have would be things like fruit snacks, fresh fruits/veggies or potato chips - things that are already declared okay to eat or are naturally okay to eat. Nothing prepared from scratch. We didn't go to shul, but when I would go to a friend's house and we did, I felt like a fish out of water. I had a pretty good idea of what I was supposed to be doing, but never felt like I was doing it the right way. My parents didn't speak or read Hebrew beyond a basic level, so I needed to get help with my Hebrew homework every night. A couple of teachers held this against me and determined I was cheating, despite the fact that my friend's father was the Hebrew principal and he knew that his daughter was just helping we work it out and that I got to the correct answer by myself. These days, I live in an apartment with my non-Jewish (Christian!) boyfriend. I have 4 tattoos. I don't keep shabbos or fast on yom kippur. The last time I went to shul was for my brother's bar mitzvah, 4 years ago. I can't remember the last time I wore a skirt that covered my knees. I celebrate Pesach and Chanukah and make honey cake on Rosh Hashanah. I wish customers and suppliers a good shaboos and good yom tov when it comes up. I'm thinking about taking a class in conversational Hebrew or Yiddish, but more because i think it would be awesome. This book was amazing. I read it in 2 days and literally couldn't put it down.I tell my story above because you can see how much of Deborah's story that I can relate to. I know the people that she knows. I've had those feelings that she has. I didn't leave my community or my roots because I was never really involved in it; instead, I've found a way to make it my own, which I think is better than faking it for the sake of keeping up appearances. At the same time, this gave me so much insight into my own culture about things I didn't even know about. I always wondered how matchmaking works - now I have a better idea. I just... wow. I've always wondered if all of the people I know are happy and satisfied with where they're at and what they're doing. After reading Deborah's story, I realize that they might not be, but maybe they don't know any other way and maybe they're too scared to make their own. I think what's even crazier about Deborah's story is that she's my age. This could have been me, if I had wanted it. Some of my childhood friends are living similar lives as she was. After reading this, I'm just so proud of Deborah, for doing whatever she needed to do to be able to get what she wanted out of this life. The only downside of this book is that I was it was longer.. I want to know what happens afterwards!
Great read!
Quite enjoyable quick and eady and funny to read.
I wish there was alittle bit more info about what happened after she got divorced. Maybe that will be in the next book. I thought she did a good job explaining her culture and religion. I would want to see how her family treated her after the divorce
I've always been fascinated by the ultra orthodox Jews, considering I worked in the garment center in NYC and I lived right by a rabbinical school in NJ. I couldn't put the book down. The details were amazing, and I could just picture the neighborhood. It was very well written and my heart alternately ached for Deborah and then I would get excited when she would do or see something and realize that there's a different life out there besides just what she was taught. Good luck Deborah in all your endeavors! The book was excellent!!

Congrats on the new addition. Did you buy the .38 or .357?
This is a discussion on DefensiveCarry.com is a bad influence! (New Ruger LCR) within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I spent all weekend trying to kick my recent snubbie addiction. Me and Mamma are trying to close on a house, and I'm sure you ...
I spent all weekend trying to kick my recent snubbie addiction. Me and Mamma are trying to close on a house, and I'm sure you know how that goes. Anyway, her and my boy are currently out of town, so I treated myself to a father's day present. I'm gonna go shoot it this week sometime. I needed a new CCW, as my bersa is too heavy for summer carry.
Congrats on the new addition. Did you buy the .38 or .357?
.38. I got the critical defense +p. 357 would probably be overkill in a 13 ounce gun.
The LCR is a great addition, I have the .38+p version and love it. Congrats on the new revolver, looking forward to the range report.
Ohhhh... Mammas gonna be mad when she finds out you splurged on a new handgun while buying a house! Thats all right we wont tell her. Congrats.

congrats on your awesome new gun. LCR is a fine choice!
Oh, don't worry, youre not alone. Just plopped down about the same(just a little more) for a LCR .357. I figure I'll be using mostly .38's but every now and then when i feel like cowboying up, I'll slap some .357 in her and have a go!

I haven't shot an LCR, but I can tell you that a scandium j frame in .357 was much more than I wanted to play with more than once. I like the critical defense +p in .38. Jane you tried the Buffalo Bore +p in .38? It's as close to shooting a .357 out of a snubbie that I want to get.
Way to go. I carry my LCR weak side and my SP101 strong side. I love my LCR.

Congrats and enjoy! Do not forget to post some pics.

I carry my LCR everyday in a Kholster iwb and LOVE it! I hold a real tight grouping with it and even when shooting +p ammo it's very manageable. If you can get the barrel even with the webbing of your thumb it greatly reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil.

I'm trying to figure out how ot add metadata between post types.
For example,
PostType1 = Person1
PostType2 = Product1, Product2, Product3
Person1 is a..
Manager, Product1
Support, Product2
Engineer, Product3
Basically being able to associate a "title" with the their role over the product.
After looking at the documentation, it looks like I might need to use "Special" to accomplish this.
Is this the best route to use? Or is there a better way to accomplish this.

Trial and judgment.
(a) The judgment creditor or the judgment debtor may contest the truth or
sufficiency of the employer's answer and, in accordance with local court
rules, the court shall immediately, unless for good cause the hearing is
postponed, proceed to try the issues. The answer of the employer may be
contested without further pleading.
(b) At any time on or before the return date, the judgment debtor may
request a hearing to dispute the wage deduction because the wages are
exempt by notifying the clerk of court before that time, using forms as may
be provided by the clerk of the court. To obtain a hearing
in counties with a population of 1,000,000 or more, the judgment debtor
must notify the clerk of court in person and in writing at the clerk's office
before the return date specified in the summons or appear in court on the
date and time specified in the summons. To obtain a hearing in counties
with a population of less than 1,000,000, the judgment debtor must notify
the clerk of the court in writing at the clerk's office on or before the
return date specified in the summons. The Clerk of Court will provide a
hearing date and the necessary forms that must be prepared by the judgment
debtor or the attorney for the judgment debtor and sent to the judgment
creditor and the employer, or their attorney, regarding the time and
location of the hearing. This notice may be sent by regular first class
mail. At the hearing the court shall immediately, unless for good cause the
hearing is continued, proceed to try the issues.
(c) The trial shall be conducted as in other civil cases.
(d) If the finding is against an employer, a deduction order shall
be entered against the employer and in favor of the judgment debtor to
whom the employer is indebted, in the same manner as if the facts are
(e) No deduction order shall be entered in favor of the judgment
creditor unless the affidavit filed by the judgment creditor certifies that
a copy of the wage deduction notice has been mailed to the judgment debtor,
under Section 12-805, and the employer's answer provides a summary of the
computation used to determine the amount of non-exempt wages.
If the employer is a federal agency employer, a deduction order shall be
entered in favor of the judgment creditor if (i) the affidavit filed by the
judgment creditor certifies that a copy of the wage deduction notice has been
mailed to the judgment debtor under Section 12-805 and (ii) the federal agency
employer identifies, on or with its periodic payments made under subsection
(b-5) of Section 12-808, the computation method used to determine the amount of
non-exempt wages. A federal agency employer shall not be required to provide a
summary of the computation used to determine the amount of non-exempt wages.

Effect of order.
A deduction order against an employer
shall be enforceable
as in other civil cases and shall discharge the employer of all claims by
the judgment debtor for the indebtedness paid, delivered or accounted
for by the employer by virtue of the order. The discharge of an employer
is no bar to an action by the judgment debtor for the same claim.
Entry of the deduction order shall discharge the federal agency employer of
all claims by the judgment debtor for the indebtedness paid and delivered by
the employer and accounted for by the attorney for the judgment creditor under
this Section.
(from Ch. 110, par. 12-813)
Sec. 12-813.
Judgment by confession.
A judgment by confession without
service of process on the
defendant shall not be the basis for seeking a deduction order, unless
such judgment is confirmed after service of process by a trial de novo,
as if such confession of judgment had not been obtained,
except that if it appears by the return of the officer on the first summons
that the employee is not found, alias summonses subsequently issued may
be served upon the employee by leaving a copy thereof with the employee's
employer, or leaving a copy thereof at the usual place of business of the
employer with his or her superintendent, manager, cashier, general agent
or clerk, pursuant to an affidavit filed by the creditor with the clerk
of the court stating the identity of the employee's employer, and that the
employee is actively employed at the time such alias is sought, and except that if
a notice of defense has been filed
to a wage
assignment as provided in Section 4.1 of "An Act to promote the welfare
of wage earners by regulating the assignment of wages, and prescribing a
penalty for the violation thereof", approved July 1, 1935, as amended, the
debtor may be served by registered or
certified mail within 6 months after the filing of such defense on a
wage assignment in the action to confirm the judgment by confession and
such mailing by the creditor to the address shown on the notice of
defense shall constitute service of the summons.

(from Ch. 110, par. 12-814)
Sec. 12-814.
Costs and fees.
(a) The costs of obtaining a deduction order shall be charged to the
judgment debtor, unless the court determines, in its discretion, that costs
incurred by the judgment creditor were improperly incurred, in which case
those costs shall be paid by the judgment creditor.
(b) No fee shall be paid by an employer for filing his or her appearance,
answer or satisfaction of judgment against him or her.
(c) A fee consisting of 2% of the amount
required to be deducted by any deduction order shall be allowed and paid
to the employer, and the amount so paid shall be charged to the judgment
(d) No other fee shall be paid to an employer at the time of service
of the summons or at any other time thereafter unless he or she is subpoenaed
to appear as a witness, in which case he or she is entitled to witness fees as
in other civil cases.

Assignment, transfer or other disposition.
No assignment,
transfer or other disposition by an heir or
distributee of his or her interest in the possession of an administrator or executor
shall defeat the deduction order, unless (1) prior to the service of
summons upon the administrator or executor, the transfer or other
disposition is reduced to writing and (2) the writing is filed in the
office of the clerk of the court appointing the executor or
(from Ch. 110, par. 12-817)

fees, which damages or attorney's fees may be proved in the same action
in which the summons was wrongfully issued.

If the prospect of being off the beaten path appeals to you, then you will love it in the Whitehouse area. We were looking for a place that we could avoid the crowds and search for the national bird of Jamaica, the streamertail hummingbird.
At evening time we saw the most beautiful sunsets that I have seen anywhere.

I could really use a trip to the Caribbean right now and this page makes me long for it. (You'd think I could get some VT pages built in the meantime!) Love the fishes woodcarving!

Yemeni President Rejects Gulf Initiative as Protests Swell
Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh ruled out mediation by Persian Gulf countries that have offered to seek a compromise between his regime and a growing protest movement, calling the effort "blatant interference."
"We were born free, and we have free will, and they have to respect our wishes," Saleh told supporters gathered near the presidential palace in Sana'a today. "We reject any coup against democracy, the constitution and our freedom." Elsewhere in the capital, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators joined a rally to demand an immediate end to Saleh's rule.
In the southern city of Taiz, the site of clashes in the past week that left at least 15 protesters dead, security forces fired bullets and teargas on a crowd, killing four and injuring hundreds, Sadek al-Shujaa, head of the field clinic in Taiz, said by telephone.
"This is a massacre," al-Shujaa said. "We live in an atmosphere of a war." More than 100 protesters have gunshot wounds and another 400 suffered from teargas inhalation, he said.
Saudi Arabia had invited Saleh and representatives of Yemen's opposition for talks in Riyadh to end more than two months of nationwide protests and escalating violence by security forces. Police and snipers killed 46 protesters in Sana'a on March 18, prompting several military and government officials to abandon Saleh's regime.
GCC Initiative
The U.S. welcomed the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative today. "We strongly encourage all sides to engage in this urgently needed dialogue to reach a solution supported by the Yemeni people," the acting State Department spokesman, Mark Toner, said in an e-mailed statement.
Qatar's prime minister, Hamad Bin Jasim Bin Jaber Al Thani, said this week that the GCC effort aimed at reaching a deal that would involve Saleh stepping down. The main coalition of opposition parties had agreed to attend the talks.
"Our power comes from the power of our great people, not from Qatar, not from anyone else," Saleh said in his speech. "This is blatant interference in Yemeni affairs.'

"I find the chapter titles appealing and would suspect they would be of interest to college students. There is a place for this book in its field of study. The author ... seems to know the college scene." - Marcia Herrin, Ed.D., MPH, RD, LD, author of Nutrition Counseling in the Treatment of Eating Disorders
"I felt as though Dr. Albers incorporates Eastern (Buddhist) ideas of mindfulness into the college diet. She emphasizes that eating shouldn't be a meaningless part of the day, but should be taken as, if not more, seriously than school work. Dr. Albers captures the everyday life of the average college student in a funny and insightful way. The book is sort of self help meets the diet world. It forces us to look at food and "mindful eating" as part of the overall experience, not merely as an accessory to it." - Katie Goldstein, Sophomore, University of Vermont
From the Publisher
Jessica Weiner, author of Do I Look Fat in This? and A Very Hungry Girl What the students are saying "Mindful Eating 101 is an accessible guide to lifetime eating that speaks to our generation as it approaches eating holisticallythrough the mind and soul. This is not just another self-help book; its a work that truly wants to better womens approaches to eating in college and forevermore."
Meg Lyons, Colgate University senior "Dr. Albers captures the everyday life of the average student in a funny and insightful way.

Hi... I have wpms installed with sub-folders (migrated from a wp installed in a folder.)
I've been able to overcome most issues, but this one I just have no clue...
When I'm logged in my admin bar shows "My Sites". But clicking on it - or any of the sub menu items - results in page not found. What I figured out is that the My Sites menu doesn't point to the sub-folder installation for the blog.
However, if I manually type in the path to network administration it works, and once I'm there then clicking on any of the items in the Dashboard work also.
For example, if I click on My Sites > Network Admin > Sites I get a page not found.
But manually entering the path to the network admin dashboard then clicking Dashboard > Sites works just find and the link on hover looks good to.

In this paper, distributed maximum likelihood estimation for bandwidth constrained wireless sensor networks is investigated. We consider an estimation system that involves temporal and spatial domain observations. In particular, we consider the case where there are a total of K sensors, each making N temporal observations. We choose different K and N, but fix KN = M, which means that the total number of temporal and spatial observations is fixed, to examine the trade-off of having a larger K with a smaller N versus having a smaller K with a larger N. The temporal signals observed at each local sensor node are quantized before transmission to a fusion center and estimation at the fusion center is made based on these quantized data. For fair comparison and to bring out the effect of different choices of K and N, we fix the total number of bits used by the K sensors to be gammaM. That is, each sensor sends gammaN bits of the quantized data. We derive the maximum likelihood estimator and examine its estimation accuracy in term of mean-squared error (MSE), as well as the Cramer Rao lower bound (CRLB) for the above distributed estimation problem
