Smoking Out Islamists via Extreme Vetting
by Daniel Pipes • Spring 2017 • Middle East Quarterly
Donald Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 27 establishing radically new procedures to deal with foreigners who apply to enter the United States. Building on his earlier notion of "extreme vetting," the order explains that
to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles. The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including "honor" killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Erdoğan to Me: Stay Out of Turkey
by Daniel Pipes • February 22, 2017
I participated yesterday in a conference about the eastern Mediterranean at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) just outside Tel Aviv; and because Tel Aviv is the diplomatic center of Israel, its events attract a good number of diplomats. Yesterday was no exception, with a foreign minister and other diplomats from several eastern Mediterranean countries, including Albania, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey.
My talk surveyed the role of Islamism in the region. In the question-and-answer period, Turkey's newly-appointed ambassador, Kemal Ökem, vigorously protested points I had made about his country. I defended these, then challenged Ökem (in a video that can be viewed here):
Pipes: I started going to Turkey in 1972. I studied Turkish, not very successfully, but I did study it. I've gone back many times. And at this point, I dare not go back to Turkey because I am critical, as you may have heard, of the government and, in particular, I supported the July 15th coup [a position] which is absolutely an outrage in Turkey. And so, I dare not go back to Turkey. And so, let me ask you, Mr. Ambassador, would it be it safe for me to go to Turkey and spend some time there or just go through the airport? You have a great airline that I would love to use but I dare not use it. Would I be safe going to Turkey?
A White House Initiative to Defeat Radical Islam
by Daniel Pipes and Christopher C. Hull • February 20, 2017 • Washington Times
Who is the enemy? It's been over 15 years since 9/11 and still this fundamental question rattles around. Prominent answers have included evil doers, violent extremists, terrorists, Muslims, and Islamists.
As an example of how not to answer this question, the Obama administration convened a Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Working Group in 2010 and included participants who turned up such gems as: "Jihad as holy war is a European invention," the caliphate's return is "inevitable," Sharia (Islamic law) is "misunderstood," and "Islamic terrorism is a contradiction in terms ... because terrorism is not Islamic by definition." The result? The group produced propaganda helpful to the (unnamed) enemy.
Linda Sarsour, The Left's Latest Star
by Daniel Pipes • February 3, 2017 • Washington Times
What to make of Linda Sarsour of Brooklyn, lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against President Trump's immigration order and the new, seemingly ubiquitous symbol of the hard Left-radical Islam alliance?
The Obama White House designated her a "champion of change." New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio sought her endorsement. Vermont's Senator Bernie Sanders used her as a surrogate in his presidential campaign. She served as a delegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Academic Malfeasance: Nine Errors in Three Pages
by Daniel Pipes • January 29, 2017 • History News Network
Here we go again: Another professor dealing with the Middle East or Islam who can't get basic facts right.
This time, it's one Todd H. Green, associate professor of religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and author of The Fear of Islam: An Introduction to Islamophobia in the West (Fortress Press, 2015). The book's title reveals its contents: the usual academic pablum about Islamists as innocent dears while critics of Islamism are greedy and vicious haters.
And the worst of those critics are "professional Islamophobes," being "prominent individuals and organizations that deliberately drown out the diversity of Muslim voices and consciously manufacture and exploit the fear of Islam in a manner unprecedented in mainstream political and media circles." They are "a cadre of conservative politicians, right-wing activists and bloggers, and even disgruntled Muslims or ex-Muslims" who have available "powerful political, media, and publishing platforms" which they exploit "to generate and exacerbate Western anxieties toward the Muslim 'Other'." To top this off, they profit financially from their ugly work. (Sure, all those $20 million checks.)
The Three-Way Option: Arab States, Israel, Palestinians
by Daniel Pipes • January 25, 2017 • Israel Hayom
Foreign Affairs magazine has published a major statement from Israel's former minister of defense Moshe Ya'alon, a likely future candidate for prime minister, on his view how to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, titled "How to Build Middle East Peace: Why Bottom-Up Is Better Than Top-Down" (Jan.-Feb. 2017).
Ya'alon offers an impressive analysis of why decades of diplomacy failed and its enduring stagnation. His "bottom-up" solution contains four elements, three of which are somewhat antique bromides and one of which is an exciting, untried idea – the three-way option that I will dwell on below.
Stripped to its essentials, Ya'alon's article calls for (bolding is mine):
An Author's Lament over Article Titles
by Daniel Pipes • January 21, 2017
Titles of articles (and books too, but that's a different topic) have an outsized importance in a writer's life.
They (1) stimulate reader interest or not and (2) create an expectation of the contents. A good title provokes interest and conveys the argument; a bad one bores and misleads about the topic. An excellent title remains understandable and interesting years after publication. An ideal one also attracts search-engine hits.
Problem is, while authors theoretically enjoy full control of the content of their articles (even if that's not always entirely the case in practice), titles belong to editors. Proofs are returned to authors minus titles. The author typically discovers the title on reading the published article, right along with the general public.
This can lead to authorial anguish. "No one will read it" and "That's not what I meant" are common and legitimate responses. A misguided title can make trouble for an author, as happened almost simultaneously in late 1990 to both Bernard Lewis and me.
Bibliography – My Writings on Donald Trump
by Daniel Pipes • January 20, 2017
I'm a specialist on the Middle East and Islamism, but I've taken time off to offer responses to the rise of Donald Trump.
A Conservative in the Age of Trump
by Daniel Pipes • January 18, 2017 • Philadelphia Inquirer
Many conservatives who once found Donald Trump unpalatable have come around to accept him. Most famously, Mitt Romney once excoriated Trump as dishonest, "a phony, a fraud," and condemned his bullying, greed, showing off, and misogyny. After the presidential election, however, Romney praised Trump ("I look forward to the coming administration") and hoped to work for him.
This change of heart has not been limited to job applicants. The president-elect's many qualities that conservatives once condemned have disappeared down memory hole, to the point that recalling them is akin to making rude noises during a prayer service.
Instead, Republicans are in a mood of optimism, even ecstasy, celebrating Trump's unconventionality and holding him up as the only candidate who could have defeated the despised Hillary Clinton. As House Speaker Paul Ryan put it, "Trump heard a voice out in this country that no one else heard," enabling him to accomplish the "most incredible political feat" Ryan has ever witnessed.
Is There a Palestinian People? Can It be Defeated?
by Daniel Pipes • January 15, 2017
"The Way to Peace: Israeli Victory, Palestinian Defeat," my article in the current issue of Commentary, has provoked criticism mainly with regard to two points: my accepting the existence of a Palestinian people and my belief that it can be defeated. My arguments:
(1) There is no such thing as a Palestinian people: Indeed, as readers note, no such people existed through the centuries. Palestine (Arabic: "Filastin") as a political unit only came into use as a Zionist triumph when imposed by the British occupiers following the issuance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917. Palestinians (Arabic: "Filastiniyun") also came into use only in the twentieth century. Jerusalem never served as capital of a sovereign Muslim state. All true.
What Rex Tillerson Thinks
by Daniel Pipes • January 7, 2017
Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state-designate, is the mysterious cabinet nominee of President-elect Donald Trump's, for his long career at ExxonMobil Corporation has revealed next to nothing publicly of his views where the United States stands in the world.
A glimpse of Tillerson's views has now appeared in an obscure source: Herb Jackson of NorthJersey.com reports on the 75-minute meeting of Sen. Bob Menendez (Democrat of New Jersey and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,) with Tillerson on Jan. 5.
Menendez recounted their conversation about U.S. relations with Turkey after Tillerson stated he hopes to "bring them back into the fold."
Menendez: "Does this mean we are willing to accept authoritarian figures and dictators as part of our foreign policy?"Tillerson: "Well, we've dealt with dictators in the past."Menendez: "Yeah, and we've faced the consequences of dealing with them," adding to the reporter that he found Tillerson's response to be "concerning."
Menendez: "Does this mean we are willing to accept authoritarian figures and dictators as part of our foreign policy?"
Tillerson: "Well, we've dealt with dictators in the past."
Menendez: "Yeah, and we've faced the consequences of dealing with them," adding to the reporter that he found Tillerson's response to be "concerning."
Being of Cuban descent and against engagement with Cuba, Menendez grilled Tillerson on that issue
The Way to Peace: Israeli Victory, Palestinian Defeat
by Daniel Pipes • January 2017 • Commentary
Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy sadly fits the classic description of insanity: "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The identical assumptions – land-for-peace and the two-state solution, with the burden primarily on Israel – stay permanently in place, no matter how often they fail. Decades of what insiders call "peace processing" has left matters worse than when they started, yet the great powers persist, sending diplomat after diplomat to Jerusalem and Ramallah, ever hoping that the next round of negotiations will lead to the elusive breakthrough.
The time is ripe for a new approach, a basic re-thinking of the problem. It draws on Israel's successful strategy as carried out through its first 45 years. The failure of Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy since 1993 suggests this alternative approach – with a stress on Israeli toughness in pursuit of victory. This would, paradoxically perhaps, be of benefit to Palestinians and bolster American support.
Since the Balfour Declaration of 1917, Palestinians and Israelis have pursued static and opposite goals.
review of Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World
by Daniel Pipes • Winter 2017 • Middle East Quarterly
If Jews in Muslim-majority countries have shrunk to a miniscule 50,000 souls, nearly all of them in Morocco, Turkey, and Iran, things were once different.
Indeed, until the seventeenth century Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews outnumbered the Jews of Europe. More than that, as Stillman writes in his introduction, it was in the medieval Muslim world that "many aspects of Judaism as a religious civilization were formulated, codified, and disseminated, and this includes the domains of liturgy, law, and theology."
But if the Mizrahi/Sephardi population has great importance for Judaism and for the Middle East, scholars have slighted it. Again, quoting Stillman:
Until the 1970s, there was very little academic work on the Jews of the Islamic world, and most of that was dedicated to the medieval period, and within that period to intellectual history and literature.
This Is the Moment for an Israeli Victory
by Daniel Pipes • December 31, 2016 • National Review Online
The U.S.-sponsored Israeli–Palestinian "peace process" began in December 1988, when Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat met American conditions and "accepted United Nations Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, recognized Israel's right to exist and renounced terrorism" (actually, given Arafat's heavily accented English, it sounded like he "renounced tourism").
That peace process screeched to an end in December 2016, when the U.N. Security Council passed Resolution 2334. Khaled Abu Toameh, perhaps the best-informed analyst of Palestinian politics, interprets the resolution as telling the Palestinians: "Forget about negotiating with Israel. Just pressure the international community to force Israel to comply with the resolution and surrender up all that you demand."
As 28 years of frustration and futility clang to a sullen close, the time is nigh to ask, "What comes next?"
Obama, Kerry and Netanyahu Go Visceral
by Daniel Pipes • December 30, 2016
How to explain the recent uproar in U.S.-Israel relations? I refer to President Barack Obama's decision to abstain at the U.N. Security Council, precisely contradicting his own views of just a few years earlier; Secretary of State John Kerry's 75-minute rant against Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu; and Netanyahu's intemperate responses, such as warning the New Zealand government that its support for the UNSC resolution amounts to a "declaration of war."
High politics of this sort is usually viewed through the lens of ideas and principles. But at times, it's better to leave all that behind and look at psychology - in other words, the basic human emotions and relations we all experience.
This level of explanation works better in this instance with all of Obama, Kerry and Netanyahu. The threesome is fed up. During his nearly ten years in office, Netanyahu has always faced a Democratic president out of sync with him. Obama is fed up with an Israeli leader who's annoyed him for eight years; ditto Kerry for 4 years.

[PHOTO] iris seeds & !!!? | Fri, 13 Jun 2003 20:52:15" />
These came out of my ELMOHR X SHEIK pod today. What happened to three of
the seeds? Anyone know? Seven look normal, but those other three objects
are something I haven't seen in a pod before. The middle one looks like
white plastic. They shelled out of the pod in the seed space and weren't
attached, so I'm assuming they are seeds that did something weird. Anyone
else seen this?

Did you know?
This is only one of 26 nesting pairs of peregrine falcons found in New Jersey.
Jersey City Falcon Cam
Welcome to the 17th season of the Jersey City Falcon Cam! Since 2000, state endangered peregrine falcons have nested on a skyscraper rooftop in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Falcon Cam will be online any day now!
Welcome to the home of the Jersey City Falcon Cam – a popular webcam that has captured the annual life cycle of a family of endangered Peregrine Falcons living on a Jersey City skyscraper. This is the 16th season of 24/7 live streaming video. In 2014, Conserve Wildlife Foundation undertook a fundraising effort to save the Falcon Cam, which was run by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's Endangered and Nongame Species Program. We'd like to thank everyone who donated to help keep the Falcon Cam online!! Please consider making a donation to support Falcon Cam.
Above you see two views: one from outside of the nestbox, and one from inside the nestbox (we will fix this in March 2016). Click and drag the volume button up if you'd like to hear sound from the camera! If you have any technical problems, please email Ben.

2016 Nestbox News
June 29
The end of the 2016 season is here. We did all that we could to try and salvage the season. There has been so much uncertainty over the past two years. With the old male being lost, and then this new (unbanded male) being lost and replaced with another new (unbanded) male, we knew that this year would not be much of a productive one. But, we had high hopes in the beginning. At least we do know that the birds are still using this eyrie, which has also been a fear of ours.
We'd like to end on a more positive note, that is, with continued sightings of 41/AX in Jersey City. Shayna M. sent us the photo above and reported that she has been perched atop a cross on a local church in JC. It is good to know that this young female is still alive and well. The camera has been deactivated for the season and will come back online in early 2017. We hope to share some other recent sightings of alumni (offspring) from 101 Hudson St. in a few upcoming Nestbox News entries. Hopefully we will get another about Ivy, who has started to set roots in Toronto.
Thank you to everyone who has visited this page and supported this important educational initiative!
April 29: Moving On
With high hopes of salvaging this nesting season, today Kathy Clark visited 101 Hudson St. and removed the lone egg from the nestbox. We could tell that 41/AX would no longer incubate it after allowing it to sit there for some time. It is still a mystery as to telling what happened to the old unbanded male. But, there is a new male hanging around. Removing the egg will allow her to move on and accept the new male as her new mate. It will be interesting to see what plays out in the next couple weeks.
April 23, 2016: It's a mystery
It's been almost a week since Egg Number One appeared in the nest, thanks to 41/AX. Both adults were seen on camera on that day (Sunday, April 17), and the female spent a lot of time incubating and brooding in the first two days. According to peregrine falcon biology, she should have laid Egg 2 on Tuesday, and Egg 3 on Thursday, but none of that has happened. We don't know why, but disruptions in the laying and incubating processes are usually the result of a shake-up in the pair. For example, if an intruding male or female challenges the pair for their territory, it could lead to injuries from fighting or colliding with structures. If such a fight occurred and the male (who was unbanded and therefore we don't know his individual identity) lost, the winning male would take over the territory but might not help with the current nesting.
We do not know if this has happened in Jersey City, but the pair has been seen on camera only sporadically (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday). The female has not laid any more eggs nor taken care of the Egg 1; therefore the first and only egg is probably not viable anymore. Furthermore, we don't know if there is a new male and, if so, they have some bonding to do before trying again. It's a mystery for now, but we are still hoping for a positive outcome this season.
Previous male:
April 17: Finally, An Egg!
It's been a very long wait. In fact, we haven't seen an egg on the Jersey City peregrine cam since 2014! In 2015, a new pair of falcons took up residence, and while they appeared to be mature birds, they did not lay any eggs last season. So we've been anxiously spying on these two birds, waiting and hoping, and even starting to doubt. But better late than not at all, and today really starts our nesting season in Jersey City.
This is the first nesting attempt for these two newbies, and female 41/AX seemed to be rather enamored of her first egg. Peregrines do not begin incubating, though, until they have a full clutch of three or four eggs. No one should worry if the egg(s) are sitting there alone on the inside camera….we can be sure the adults are very close by and have total watch over their nest. On warmer days adults may not sit with and brood the eggs, but they will usually brood all night. We will be watching for egg number two on Tuesday, and each new egg roughly two days apart. Once incubation begins full time, it will continue for about 33 days leading up to hatching. Both adults will incubate the eggs, but the female usually spends more time on them.
The Jersey City nest is getting a later start than previous years, and a little later than most NJ nests. NJ peregrines typically are laying eggs in the first week of April, and nearly all are incubating by mid-April. So this pair is about two weeks later than most. But there is no particular hurry: these birds have a ready supply of food (pigeons) for their offspring, so they are not dependent on peak migrations of their bird prey.
We welcome the first egg of 2016, opening a new chapter for our Jersey City falcons!
January 25
The camera is working just fine but the stream is currently offline. We are investigating what is going on.
January 20
The pair was seen in and outside of the nestbox this morning! See a photo on BCAW (Bird Cams Around the World).
January 19
Cam is online! We are working with our partners to give you the best possible online viewing experience. We are testing out the feed (exterior view) in HDTV (sponsored) and standard feed (unsponsored). So the viewer has a choice. In other news, we are planning to visit Jersey City to fix the pinhole camera in early Feb.
January 12, 2016
Happy New Year, all! Exciting times ahead! Just this morning we called to re-activate the internet at 101 Hudson St. Technically speaking, the cameras should still be powered on and working fine. Once the internet is turned back on and we find out if we can acquire the same static IP address (what allows the live stream to be broadcast) then it's a simple copy and paste type of action to display the live stream on this page. If we need a new static IP (which we have in the past) then we will need to visit 101 Hudson St. to do some networking.
We will still make at least one trip up there to examine and test the pinhole camera that's inside the nestbox. We've had problems with that camera and want to be sure it is working fine this year.
Otherwise, we got this great video from Falcon Cam viewer Eric Chandler which shows the pair vocalizing to each other on the side of a building near 101 Hudson St. Peregrine falcons mate for life. In early spring the male performs aerial displays and he also provides the female with gifts to show his commitment to her - in the form of food. To help strengthen their relationship (pair bond) the male and female perform what is referred to as a "bowing" when they vocalize with a "ee-chupping" call which is seen in this short video.

... Gettysburg was another private museum that had lots of cool stuff. Not all was related to the civil war, they had several displays about the world wars, various presidents, and people. There were artifacts from Hitler's Eagle's Nest that were interesting.
We snapped a few pictures, they don't really show the vastness of the displays. They had Marilyn Monroe's white lacy Bra. Off course had to get a snap of that. For the ones interested, 36C. ...

Patriots Dedicate 2011 Season to Myra Kraft
By: Ian Logue
If Patriots fans are trying to get a handle on all the recent free agent moves, it looks like there is another motivation behind their recent acquisitions to load up heading into the 2011 campaign.
Vince Wilfork and the Patriots are dedicating the 2011 season to Myra Kraft. (FILE:Icon/SMI)
The team issued a press release a bit ago, dedicating the 2011 season "in loving memory of Myra Kraft".
As reported earlier this morning, the team will wear a patch with her initials on their left chest (obviously where their hearts are) in her memory for this season.
At halftime of Thursday night's regional broadcast of New England's first preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team said a segment will air featuring Patriots greats – past and present – reflecting on Myra's memory and the lasting legacy she created.
They'll also honor her prior to the team's first regular season home game on September 18th with a moment of silence.
"Myra touched the lives of so many people," said Vince Wilfork in the release. "My conversations with her were never about football. She always asked about my family and always made me feel as if I were a part of hers.
"By her example, she made us all want to give more and to make a positive impact in our communities. We are proud to dedicate the 2011 season to Myra Kraft."
Needless to say it should be quite an emotional season. They seem to have the talent to go a long way this year, and also have a really good incentive to finish the job.

Arizona Republic - AZ Republic Customer Service (Management)

I have been a subscriber of the Arizona Republic Newspaper for over ten years.Throughout this time I have had numerous issues with the delivery of my paper, and it seems that it only happens when there is a change of carriers.
Since mid-January I have called in to inform the customer service personnel that my carrier continues to toss my paper under my vehicles. Then a couple of days will go by and it starts all over again. I call the customer service office again and asked to speak to a manager, only to be told that a manager does not get involve until the third call. I explained to the customer service person that if I call back a third time, it will be to cancel my subscription.
Well, the paper continues to land under the vehicles and it only leads me to believe that the AZ Republic does not give a *** about it's customers. I made a third call to cancel and was placed on hold for over five minutes, so I hung-up. The paper continued to be delivered, and yes, it went under the vehicles each and everytime. So I decided to call and inquire as to why the paper was still being delivered.
I explained to the very nice customer service person what had happen, and express my concerns that her management really didn't give a ***. She assured me that someone would contact me to resolve the issue and apologized on behalf of the company.
To date, there has been no contact from the Arizona Republic Management and my subscription has been cancelled.I am only one customer, but I do have friends and neighbors whom I will pass-on what the AZ Republic thinks of it's customers.

I have had the same challenges with cancelling my subscription , being blind billed, unable to reach a real live person, when I did he hung up on me when I told him I wanted to cancel my subscription, and then the collection threats-or-pay-to-cancel began. This company is UNETHICAL and it apparently can get away without consequences as there have been numerous complaints by many people, including myself, to no avail.0 0 Reply

I cancelled my subscription (of over 30 years) in writing online in September at their customer service contact address listed on their home page.
I told them to cancel my subscription immediately even though I was paid up until Dec. You guessed it, the paper kept coming and when I didn't pay bill in Dec it kept coming until someone called me in January to pay my bill.
Long story short, even after sending them a copy of my email clearly showing the date stamp, they're still hounding me for $30 and threatening collection.
Obviously the editorial staff also mans Customer Service and Bill - complete and utter mouth-breathing retards.
I'll sue them for harassment if they keep it up (and you know they will)

I signed up for delivery service a few months ago with one of AZ Republics promotions, only to be sorely disappointed in the paper anymore. Now I was told when I signed up that there wsa no contract & that after my 3month trial period I would have to renew if I wanted to continue service. Naturally, I decided NOT to renew. Ironically, the paper kept coming...under my car mind you. I am now getting phone calls from their customer service dept @ least 4x/per week stating I owe them $$ & that they will will continue to deliver & charge me for papers unless I contact their customer service dept to cancel. Forget that their business hrs @ cust service are a joke & that most people work during this time. The customer service people that call my cell phone all the time CANT cancel by subscription...If I AM able to call during business hrs (which I have attempted 7x) I am cut off or on hold for >30min. I have attempted to leave a msg to no avail. I even tried going online to cancel...no option for this.
So let me get this straight...you have the staff & hours to hound me over a billed service I didn't agree to, don't want & CANT seem to cancel...but not the man hours to run a REAL customer service dept??!! I can't imagine WHY the published news industry is having issues! I can't even find a darned EMAIL to send THIS message to!! I desperately hope SOMEBODY from the paper reads these messages...because your billing dept is the only people I seem to be hearing... from & THEY can't see to help me, as they state they can't cancel by subsription, just call to attempt to collect for it!

It appears to me... that what is needed here is NEW MANAGEMENT. All the same issues. CONSISTANT. No paper... or it always ends up under the car.
I delivered the paper when I was a kid. Hated getting up early on Sunday morning to deliver the paper. But did it and did it with PRIDE. Every customer I had... got their paper layed on their doorstep. MY MANAGER required that. And I loved the comments I recieved from the customers for a job well done. Sure wish the AZ Republic could find a manager with THAT ethic. I too have made several calls. Only to have the same foul service continued. When my paper doesn't show up... they say someone may have stolen it... well... maybe if my paper wasn't laying on the sidewalk right next to the road because when they tried to throw it under the car it hit the car and fell on the sidewalk... MAYBE it wouldn't be stolen either. Sure... if they throw it under the car... passerbys don't want to get on THEIR hands and knees to retrieve it... BUT... they also don't feel comfortable walking up to someones door to get it.
I too am fed up. If something doesn't change... I too will not continue the paper.
Just maybe if enough of us DROP the paper... maybe the AZ Republic will DROP the management they have and get someone that truly CARES what the customer thinks.

I, too, have been a subscriber for over 10 years. Because of consistently late delivery service for the last year or so, because of a new carrier, I finally gave up in frustration and ended my subscription. A few weeks later I got a call inviting me to re-up, and after being assured that the delivery person had been talked to and all was resolved, I agreed to try out a 3-day a week promotion. So now I have been lied to as well. Same late (7:30 a.m. or later on weekdays, and around 9:00 on Sunday) delivery schedule. There is no way I will re-subscribe when this promotional gimmick has run its time.0 0 Reply

I called to cancel after sitting on hold for over 20 minutes I thought that would be the end, but continued to receive papers and bills, I don't get the paper anymore but they continue to bill me for something I canceled after the first subscription, It is impossible to contact anyone at this company that can do anything usefull about customer service and they wonder why nobody buys their papers anymore?0 0 Reply

my friend, At least you are getting your news papers! 12 weeks after moving into my home and changing my address, I have yet to receive my newspaper on my driveway, or anywhere near. I have called 7 times of the 12 missed weeks, and been 'assured and promised' to death that my paper will be there this sunday. They are a pathetic excuse for a business.

The AZ Republic just informed me that they are billing me for time "after" my subscription expired. Even though I was not receiving the paper and did not mail in my money to renew. It threatens that if I do not cough up $29 for papers that I didnt receive, nor want, they will get a judgement against me. Is this even legal??0 0 Reply

There are lots of awards given out for Hostas. A very few, are even
meaningfull. Most , however, are given for "outstanding" plants of one
discription or another, that are not put to a real test. I refuse to
honor the system, by publishing the award winners. Many other Hosta
growers seem to feel the same way. When the AHS comes up with an award
system that has some thought behind it, in stead of the "knee jerk" vote
at a convention , system they are now using, you will see more plants
listed with their rightful awards.

Red Beard
The shooting schedule for master filmmaker Akira Kurosawas Red Beard (1965), a period medical drama, stretched over two years, a then-unprecedented amount of time to make a movie. The charismatic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, whose international success was largely due to Kurosawa they had made 15 movies together not only couldnt shave off the beard that was an intrinsic part of his character for the entire time, he was under contract and couldnt act in any other movie. Those restrictions poisoned their working relationship forever after. Mifune went on to other, lesser, directors, and Kurosawa in his subsequent seven movies never achieved the acclaim that was showered upon him when Mifune was his star. But their last collaboration is a true work of love, and art. In Red Beard, a smug and arrogant medical student in 19th-century Tokyo comes under the tutelage of a poor clinic doctor (Mifune) and ultimately learns compassion and humility. It takes him three hours in scrumptious black-and-white photography to do it, but he, and eventually we, become better for it. 7 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet.

Khris Davis, Alfredo Figaro claim Brewers' final roster spots
Brewers win last exhibition game
Outfielder Khris Davis and right-hander Alfredo Figaro claimed the final roster spots Saturday as the Milwaukee Brewers announced their 25-man opening-day squad after a 5-4 exhibition victory over the Chicago White Sox at Miller Park.
Davis won the final bench job over first baseman/catcher Blake Lalli, who had the disadvantage of not being on the 40-man roster. Figaro claimed the last spot in the bullpen over Donovan Hand. Both players were nonroster invitees to camp, with Figaro filling the last 40-man roster spot.
Davis and Figaro are two of eight players who will make their first opening-day roster appearances in the majors.
Davis, 25, won a job with an impressive power display during spring training. He cooled off at the plate in the final games, finishing with a .262 average, but led the club with six homers and 16 runs batted in.
"I just had a big grin on my face," Davis said of getting the news from manager Ron Roenicke. "This is something I've prepared for all my life. I just worked hard and I'm thankful to be here. While I'm here, I'm not going to take anything for granted. I'm just going to work as hard as I can and be the best teammate I can be."
Lalli also had a strong camp, batting .286 with a homer and seven RBI. He would have given the Brewers a third catcher and left-handed complement to Alex Gonzalez at first base, and Roenicke conceded the decision was "a tough call."
"Both of those guys had nice springs," said Roenicke. "Lalli brings a lot with him. There were a lot of pros and cons to both guys. With the spring training Davis had, being able to come off the bench and drive the ball is important."
Without Lalli, Roenicke will use infielder Yuniesky Betancourt and occasionally backup catcher Martin Maldonado to back up veteran Alex Gonzalez at first base. Neither Gonzalez nor Betancourt has played first base in the majors.
Figaro and Hand both made cases to be on the team. In 11 appearances, Figaro compiled a 2.40 earned run average with 11 strikeouts in 15 innings. Hand put together a 1.20 ERA in 11 outings, with one walk and five strikeouts in 15 innings.
In the end, the Brewers decided to go with the power arm. Figaro throws his fastball in the mid 90s (mph), while Hand is more of a command pitcher who must hit his spots.
"(Figaro) is more of a stuff guy," said Roenicke. "He comes in and throws good fastballs down in the zone We liked his command. That's nothing against Donnie Hand. He pitched great for us. He opened up a lot of eyes. Being able to see what he can do, what kind of guy he is, he impressed a lot of us."
The Brewers pulled out their exhibition finale with three runs in the eighth inning. Jonathan Lucroy and Sean Halton delivered RBI doubles, and Logan Schafer - making his first opening-day roster - knocked in the go-ahead run with a single. Rickie Weeks socked a two-run homer in the first inning.
Roenicke used the game mostly as a bullpen day, giving eight pitchers work. The Brewers split the two games vs. Chicago and finished exhibition season with a 13-18-2 record.
"They don't matter going into the season, as far as how you've done in spring training with wins and losses, but I think going into the season with a nice win is always good," said Roenicke.
Narveson on board
Left-hander Chris Narveson said he is totally on board with the decision to move him to the bullpen to open the regular season.
Narveson originally was a strong candidate for the starting rotation, but Roenicke said Friday that Narveson would move to the bullpen with Mike Fiers taking the fifth spot. Narveson is coming off rotator cuff surgery that limited him to two starts in 2012 and said it was a smart move to limit his work to relief duty in the early going.
"It's a long season," said Narveson. "I'm not reading a lot into it. It gives you a little bit of a break between here and kind of cranking things up. It's 162 games. I'd rather be strong come August and September than be strong at the beginning and all of a sudden you fade out.
"I'd much rather be strong knowing I can go every fifth day in August and September than be shut down. It's been an open discussion of how things have been going. It's a team game. We know we have to have 25 guys pulling one way. Starting off in the rotation is always nice, but at the same time you're going to need more than five starters (over the course of the season)."
"If I had to start, I could do it," said Narveson, who pitched a hitless inning in the exhibition finale against the White Sox. "But it's one of those things where we said, 'Let's look at this logistically and from a smart point of view.' If we can do this, why not take advantage of it and make sure you're ready to go."
Lohse in second series
Roenicke confirmed that Kyle Lohse will make his Brewers debut in the second series against Arizona but didn't say if it would be the first or second game. Roenicke said that decision would be made Sunday after Lohse throws a bullpen session on the team's off day.
If Lohse starts the first game against Arizona, he would line up to pitch the third game in Chicago and miss the series in St. Louis, where he pitched the last five seasons.
"We've looked at that," said Roenicke. "I don't want to start setting up the schedule for the matchups and where guys are going to pitch. That's why I don't want to say exactly what's going to happen."
Fiers is scheduled to pitch a game Sunday in the Brewers' minor-league camp in Phoenix and would line up to pitch the first game vs. Arizona if Roenicke chooses. As soon as Lohse gets ready to go deep in games, Roenicke said the pitching staff would be reduced from 13 to 12.
"I'd like to go back to 12 as soon as we can," said Roenicke, who wants a fifth bench player. "If the starters are giving us length, there's going to be somebody that's not pitching."
In case of emergency
With Lalli going to Class AAA Nashville, the Brewers have no third catcher. So, who is the emergency catcher? Roenicke gave a surprising answer: left-handed outfielder Logan Schafer.
"I'm making a call to get my left-handed catcher's glove sent out," said Roenicke, who did some catching as a youngster. "Schafer caught when he was younger. I don't know if it was high school, but he's caught quite a bit, it sounded like."
Asked why you don't see left-handed catchers, Roenicke said, "You can still throw down (to second). I don't know why. You can certainly throw to first base better.
"Part of the reason is, now if you do it, pitchers freak out a little bit. They see the glove on the other hand and they don't like it. So, it's a bad visual for a lot of these guys."
World traveler
Minor-league infielder Hainley Statia, one of a handful of extra players who accompanied the Brewers to Milwaukee for the exhibition games against the White Sox, will take a flight Sunday to join Class AAA Nashville for the start of its season. That trip will complete a spring odyssey in which Statia thinks he traveled some 17,000 miles.
A native of Curacao, Statia played for the Kingdom of Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. That squad trained first in Scottsdale, Ariz., then traveled to Taiwan for the WBC first round. The surprising Netherlands team advanced to Japan for the next round and kept winning, earning a spot in the semifinals in San Francisco.
Statia then returned to Arizona to finish spring training before making the weekend trip to Milwaukee.
Of all that time on airplanes, Statia said, "It doesn't bother me as long as it's playing baseball. It was a good experience. We really believed in ourselves. It was a good team, a young team. It was a lot of fun."

Water is a perennial concern and its scarcity has a huge impact on food production. The latest drought has exposed farming's growing vulnerability to water shortages, particularly where groundwater reserves are inadequate and climate change is expected to make severe droughts more likely. Without water, farmers do not have a means of maintaining a prosperous production cycle and providing for the increasing demand. The trouble is that most farmers do not know how much water they have. Imagine if there was a product that painted a better picture of how much water was available to you...
Information leads to better planning and better decisions.
Eno Scientific's goal is to provide a simple method to obtaining vital water information that expands the areas of Agriculture to increase the amount of crops being produced. The Well Watch 670 water level indicators are simple to install and non contact so there is no risk to the well's quality and infrastructure. It is about turning well level measurements into useful data that can help farmers/growers respond to changing climates, markets and technological opportunities. You can use the data from smart water level meters to understand how much water you have available in order to increase the number, efficiency and quality of the crops grown.
Water Intelligence puts the power back in your hands.
- Understand water levels during peak usage, daily usage and seasonal changes.
- Make more informed decisions on how many acres to plant
- Plan for next growing season based upon historical water data
- Better water contingency planning
- Graph long term levels to understand the strength of your Aquifer
- Identify ahead of time if your wells need to be drilled deeper
- Share data with Water Professionals and Government agencies
- Use data to support unnecessary water restrictions
The value of ground water is increasing; Agricultural use is a necessity.
Especially in water-stressed areas, the primary strategy has been to impose watering restrictions and conservation measures. New groundwater legislation, local initiatives, and State mandates provide opportunities to strengthen resource management and develop equitable usage strategies. Groundwater level monitoring is key to providing accurate data to support appropriate agricultural water management motives. The goals are to supply water where it is needed most without endangering the lifeline of American farmers.

Lochte edges Phelps in 200 freestyle semifinals
OMAHA, Neb. – Ryan Lochte beat Michael Phelps again Tuesday night at the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.
But not by much.
USA Swimming's two biggest stars raced stroke-for-stroke in the final moments of a scintillating semifinal in the 200-meter freestyle.
London calling: Who's on the U.S. swim team
Lochte out-touched Phelps by two-hundredths of second to qualify first for today's final with a time of 1 minute, 46.25 seconds. Phelps advanced as the No. 2 seed with a 1:46.27.
The eight-time gold medalist from the Beijing Games also finished second to Lochte in the 400 individual medley final on Monday.
Lochte also beat Phelps in the 200 free by about three-tenths of a second at last year's World Championships.
The rivals didn't shake hands in the pool after their race Tuesday. Lochte later downplayed the significance of the encounter.
"That was semifinals," he said. "It doesn't matter until finals. We're just great racers. We just want to win. We definitely kicked it in gear the last 50.
"You know (Wednesday) night, it's going to be a lot faster."
Fullerton-based FAST's Matt McLean (1:47.40) and Michael Klueh (1:48.09) also made the final.
Cal's Dana Vollmer produced a charge of excitement. In the finals of the 100 butterfly, she split the first lap more than a half-second under Sarah Sjostrom's world-record pace for Sweden in 2009. Vollmer missed setting the global standard but qualified for the London Games by touching first in 56.50.
"I'm so relieved (to be on the team)," said Vollmer, who failed to make the team in 2008.
Brendan Hansen of Longhorn, who had retired after the Beijing Games, won the 100 breaststroke in 59.68 — fourth fastest in the world this year — to make his third consecutive U.S. team. "I'm back," said Hansen, who finished almost a half-second ahead of runner-up and now two-time Olympian Eric Shanteau of USC-based Trojan.
Teenagers Missy Franklin, 17, and Rachel Bootsma, 18, qualified first-second for the 100 backstroke final with times of 59.06 and 59.10, respectively, in the semifinals. Two-time defending Olympic champion Natalie Coughlin qualified seventh at 1:00.63.

Blackboard Collaborate Launches New IMS LTI and Moodle Integrations
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Blackboard Collaborate(TM), the leading online collaboration platform built for education, now supports IMS LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) specifications, making the platform available to institutions using any learning management system (LMS) compliant with LTI industry standards, the company announced today.
This latest software update enables institutions using any LTI-compliant LMS to provide a better overall learning experience with the addition of web conferencing tools to their online courses, increasing student interactivity and engagement. With the integration, instructors will be able to use Blackboard Collaborate to schedule and deliver live online classes, upload multimedia and presentation content, and store lecture recordings for students who missed class or for follow-up review, all from within the LMS and without having to log into more than one system.
The integration will be hosted by Blackboard, removing the cost to maintain and support multiple systems. Little to no faculty training is required because the platform will adhere to the familiar look and feel of institutions' LMS of choice, removing barriers for faculty to incorporate online collaboration into their courses and enabling students to benefit from live, synchronous learning.
"The new LTI integration into our institution's LMS will make it much easier for our faculty to use Blackboard Collaborate," said Kent Barclay, Associate Dean of Academic Technology at Endicott College. "With the new integration, we anticipate greater adoption of the technology and look forward to improved academic outcomes for our students." The company also announced integration updates across the Blackboard Collaborate platform specific to the open-source Moodle LMS. The platform's web conferencing, enterprise instant messaging and voice authoring capabilities are now compatible with Moodle 2.3 and are certified by Moodle Partners Moodlerooms and NetSpot.
"These updates are part of our commitment to support schools in making the technology decisions that are right for them," said Maurice Heiblum, President and General Manager of Blackboard Collaborate. "Blackboard will continue to champion accessibility and open standards by helping institutions broaden the functionality of their learning management infrastructure -- regardless of their LMS strategy."

Suicide by Christian Baudelot
Book DescriptionIn this major new study Christian Baudelot and Roger Establet provide a timely and wide-ranging account of the changing nature of suicide in the world today. The suicide rate is soaring in the former Communist bloc, in India and in China, which now has the highest female suicide rate in the world. This rise coincides with those countries accelerated entry into a period of brutal modernization. In the developed countries of the West, suicide rates are rising fastest amongst young men and those social groups that are furthest down the social scale. How can we explain these trends and what do they tell us about modern societies? The social impact of suicide has preoccupied sociologists from Emile Durkheim onwards. For Durkheim, the rising suicide rate was an effect of the rise of modernity and the individualism, growing affluence and increased anomie that accompanied it. Baudelot and Establet draw upon Durkheim and his successor Maurice Halbwachs to argue that classic sociological theories of suicide require some modification. The link between suicide, affluence and individualism is more complex: suicide rates do reflect broad social trends but they are also influenced by the structural position and lived experience of small social groups. The notion of social well-being is demonstrated to be a key factor in changes in suicide rates. Whilst it is well-known that sociology cannot explain why individuals commit suicide, the suicide of individuals and the micro-groups to which they belong can tell us a lot about the societies in which they live.
