Jewish Renewal
and Interfaith
Rabbi Rain Zohav has worked in the Jewish community for more than thirty years, and was ordained by the Aleph Alliance for Jewish Renewal. She lives in Rockville, MD, and works in the DC area. She is currently the Executive Director of the environmental nonprofit Jews Of The Earth. Read more about her background, social activism, and scholarship here.
Looking for an officiant for your wedding, baby naming, memorial, or other life cycle event? Rabbi Rain believes in crafting personal and authentic celebrations that invite participants from all backgrounds to connect with themselves, each other, and the infinite source of life surrounding us all. She will work with you to blend traditional Jewish ritual with creative modern elements to make a ceremony that is unique and meaningful. She is happy to work in interfaith, LGBTQ, and other diverse settings. Read more about the services Rabbi Rain offers here.
Many spiritual leaders who are committed to tikkun olam come with a burning passion to do the healing with all their energy, at once. But that burning can easily lead to burn-out. Rabbi Rain Zohav comes, rather, with a strong and perseverant simmer and a good-humored openness to a range of opinions and commitments -- yet a deep commitment to keep working to heal a troubled, wounded world.
Rain was the perfect officiant for us. She was a guide and a partner, and performed our wedding ceremony in a loving and deeply compassionate way. With Rain we always felt honored, heard and supported.
Rain had a very cheerful and friendly way of working with us in planning the ceremony. She expertly handled the rehearsal and was very open to our inter-faith marriage. I had a Lutheran background, and she was inclusive and welcoming toward my family and friends.
Rain clearly saw the most important part of being married–that we love each other–and we deeply appreciated her spirit of acceptance and love.
In the 3 years that she has been mentoring me I have realized over and over again what my spirit recognized the first moment I encountered her. In our first session I remarked on the fact that one of my spiritual complaints was the feeling that I was spiritually dry and brittle and that her name was appropriately, Rain. She has definitely been the rain to my drought!!! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking depth and fullness in their spiritual life.

By professor Timo Vihavainen, February 2005
C.G.E. Mannerheim charted the course of Finnish history and was voted greatest Finn of all time.
The news that an exhibition on the life of Mannerheim, former supreme commander of the Finnish army and thereafter president of Finland, had opened at the State Hermitage in St Petersburg may have seemed puzzling for many who know who Mannerheim was.
Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim became the symbol of the Finnish struggle against Soviet Russia during the Winter War of 1939-1940. He was hailed as a champion of liberty throughout the western world during those 105 days of stubborn resistance against a vastly superior enemy.
This was not the first time that the stately representative of Finland's Swedish-speaking aristocracy had been the supreme commander in a war against Russia.
The War of Liberation in 1918 – later also called the Civil War – had been fought against Soviet Russia and against its allies, the Finnish "Reds". And the Winter War was not the last war in which Mannerheim fought against Russia.
The period of combat known as the Continuation War, 1941 to1944, during which German forces fought alongside the Finnish army, was even more exacting for Finland and Russia than the Winter War had been.
Moreover, in the Continuation War, Finnish forces even advanced into Russian territory with the intention of annexing Eastern Karelia, a region which had never belonged to Finland.
Admittedly, Finnish policy towards the Russians and Finland's methods of warfare substantially differed from those of the Germans. Finland declined to launch a ground attack on Leningrad or even to bomb it, despite German pressure to do so.
This notwithstanding, Mannerheim, the war hero of Finland and the symbol of its struggle against Russia, does not look like a plausible candidate for hero worship on the part of Russians.
What exactly did the Russians find in Mannerheim to warrant an exhibition in their most prestigious museum in early 2005, in the very city whose leaders looked with trepidation at the possibility of a Mannerheim-led attack in both 1919 and 1941 and '42?
First of all, the key to the puzzle is Mannerheim's own Russian past. He happens to have spent no less than thirty years in Russia, mostly in St Petersburg, serving in the Russian Imperial Army.
During this period Mannerheim not only reached the rank of lieutenant general and was appointed Commander of the Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army, he was also known personally to the emperor and became a member of his suite.
Right: The commander-in-chief with his generals and staff at the Rajajoki River in August 1941, observing Leningrad and the fortress of Kronstadt. Rajajoki (Border River) had been the border of Russian and Finland, or more precisely Russia and Sweden-Finland since the Treaty of Schlüssleburg of 1323.
Mannerheim's record as a soldier was impressive. He fought for Russia on the battle front in both the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 and in the First World War between 1914 and 1917. General Mannerheim was decorated with the St George's Cross for gallantry and was famous for his military skill and efficacy.
Mannerheim was also an able sportsman whose horsemanship won prizes. This was evidently one of the reasons why he was chosen for the formidable task of undertaking a a reconnaissance mission on horseback through Asia that lasted two years.
Mannerheim's passport: "Order of the Imperially appointed minister to grant a passport. The Russian consul has stated that this man will come from the Russian-Chinese border to Xinjiang to visit certain localities and to see old monuments. He is to be given a passport and allowed to visit the places that he desires, and in addition he is to be protected. Given as a certificate to the Russian authorities. On the 27th day of the fourth month of the 32nd year of the reign of (Emperor) Guangxu (1906)."
To the list of Mannerheim's merits one might add his courteous manners, which contributed to the progress of the young cavalry officer in high society and at the imperial court itself.
A non-Russian officer in the Imperial Army was no rarity. There were in fact thousands of them. Many of these "inorodtsy" or "non-orthodox" subjects of the emperor serving in the Russian army came from the Baltic provinces, spoke German as their mother tongue and were Lutheran by religion, as was Mannerheim.
However, Mannerheim's background differed from that of his Baltic brother officers. He came from the Grand Duchy of Finland, which sent more than 4,000 officers to serve in the Russian army between 1809 and 1917. Almost 400 of them reached the rank of general or admiral.
Most of the officers from Finland spoke Swedish as their mother tongue, Finnish being used mainly as a second language, if they knew it at all. Mannerheim's Finnish before 1917 was far from fluent.
But, in common with the Baltic German officers, the Finnish officers served the emperor impeccably. In fact, there are no records of disloyalty among the Finns, even during the period from 1899 to1917 when Russia began to pressurise Finland by undermining its juridical status. In lieu of disloyalty, some of the officers chose to retire from active service.
Mannerheim did not retire. He remained a faithful soldier even though he privately deplored the emperor's policies, which he regarded as unwise. Even when his own brother was exiled to Sweden, Mannerheim's loyalty to the emperor remained unshaken. His relatives understood his position.
It was only when the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 crushed the old order that Mannerheim realised his ties of loyalty to Russia had been cut. After the revolution he became a champion of the White Finnish cause.
His loyalty towards his native land was now total and he always respected its democratic institutions even though he was hardly a true democrat by conviction.
Mannerheim's career in the service of two states is an intriguing story that excites curiosity. To Russians - as the director of the State Hermitage says in his foreword to the exhibition catalogue - Mannerheim is above all the cultivated young officer of the Chevalier Guards who stands by Nicholas II in the latter's coronation procession.
In Finnish eyes Mannerheim stands tall as the elderly Marshal, the man of honour, the fatherly figure whose moral integrity and intelligence could always be trusted.
Perhaps it is not, after all, in any way unnatural that both Finns and Russians have rediscovered their own Mannerheim, now that the nightmare of communism has passed.
In life, Mannerheim was always a leader who came between Finland and the Soviet Union. In death, he is a figure who brings together Finns and Russians.

Mision cumplida: Joy of a nation as miners emerge to worldwide fame
Chile is celebrating the return of all the men they call Los 'Treinta y Tres' – the 33 miners trapped deep below the Atacama desert since August 5.
Just after 9.55pm local time, Luis Urzua, the foreman, was brought to the surface of the San Jose mine.
Click photo for galleryThe last to be rescued, he was embraced by President Sebastian Piñera and told: "Your shift is over".
Luis, a veteran of the industry with 31 years experience, is credited with keeping a spirit of unity and discipline that was vital to their survival.
Their 54-year-old 'captain' persuaded them to eke out their rations – each man had one mouthful of tuna every 48 hours – until their discovery after 17 days.
Then when they were found miraculously alive he organised his colleagues into work teams, keeping everyone busy with individual tasks.
And in his last few hours underground, he even made them laugh.
"They finally took him away, we were all tired of him!' he joked as Mario Sepulveda, the group's showman, became the second man to be winched to the surface.
Click photo for galleryAs television pictures of Luis' own rescue were shown In the nearby town of Copiapo where most of the miners live, their fellow citizens erupted into cheers of joy and flew the national flag.
And 2,030ft below in the 30 degree hole, where the men spent 69 days, rescue workers held up a sign that read simply: Misión cumplida, Chile – Mission accomplished, Chile.
More photos from the rescue mission.

A Fifty Year Anniversary Warrants a Trip to Sicily
My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in November. I love and admire my parents more than I can possibly express in words. They have been endlessly supportive of me, and they worked like crazy to provide me with rich opportunities throughout my life. A lot of those opportunities have involved travel and exposure to new and interesting places: taking me and my siblings on family vacations to different parts of the US (and Canada once or twice), sending me to college in New York City, making possible an awesome cross country road trip that a friend and I made while I was on summer break from college, allowing me to spend a semester abroad in Rome, and supporting the move that Barry and I made from New York to Portland to name some of the big ones. To thank them for all the amazing things they've exposed me to and to celebrate 50 years of marriage and the family they raised in that time, I wanted to take them on a trip. They'd been to Italy once before - almost 20 years ago - to travel a bit with me when I finished my semester of study in Rome. That trip was a life-changing experience for all of us, so revisiting Italy seemed like the thing to do for an anniversary celebration. Barry and I decided that a trip to Sicily - where we have been but my parents have not - was in order. We went back in October, but I haven't posted any photos from our trip yet. You can expect to see a few over the next couple days.

Our new 2013-14 academic year will be starting soon. Registration for our incoming first-year students begins on August 14th, and fall semester classes for all students begin on August 19th. Our faculty and staff are all looking forward to it. Wearing my professor hat, I will be teaching a course in the evening division in the fall semester, and one in the day division in the spring semester. Here is a brief report on our summer developments and what's coming up soon:
1. Admissions Data. The number of students enrolling in all law schools this coming year is expected to be the lowest in thirty years. Notwithstanding this negative trend, things are looking up for CUA Law for the coming year. Last year at this time, we had received full deposits from 168 successful applicants to hold a place in our incoming class (which ultimately consisted of 141 first-year and 8 transfer students). Read more here
We have two great opportunities coming up to network with CUA Law alumni working on Capitol Hill. We will be hosting a reception with Dean Attridge and special guests Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr., Class of 1988, and Senator Jeffrey S. Chiesa, Class of 1990, for an after-work reception at the Russell Senate Office Building on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Later that week, on Friday, September 20, the CUA Law and Public Policy Program will host Senator Chiesa at the law school where he will share about his public policy career.
Whether you work in Legislative, Public Policy, or in Government in the DC area, we hope you will come out and take advantage of either or both of these great events.
The United States Supreme Court has granted certiorari for McCullen v. Coakley, a First Amendment case that has consumed much pro bono time and effort from CUA Law Professor Mark Rienzi over the past several years.
The Court has agreed to review the constitutionality of a Massachusetts law that creates a 35-foot "buffer zone" restricting pro-life advocates from speaking with people entering abortion facilities. The zone restriction was signed into law in 2007 by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Opponents of the law argue it creates create censorship zones designed to stamp out constitutionally protected speech.
Professor Rienzi originally engaged with the case in 2008, when Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed the lawsuit. Today, he is lead counsel in the case alongside attorneys with the Washington, D.C. firm Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr, LLP. "I represent peaceful pro-life grandmothers who want to stand on the sidewalk and offer alternative options to women going to the clinic," said Rienzi.
Oral arguments in McCullen v. Coakley are expected in January.
Tanya Easton comes to CUA Law with a long career in fundraising as a vice president for advancement at independent, church-related institutions in West Virginia. Her experience includes oversight of annual fund, foundation relations, planned giving, church relations, major gifts, and alumni relations. Prior to her arrival at the law school, she served two years a vice president for enrollment management, with responsibility for admissions, financial aid, athletics, and marketing and communications at Alderson Broaddus University, where she was responsible for implementing an enrollment turnaround. Easton has been recognized for her commitment to mentoring staff, and is currently a doctoral candidate at West Virginia University. You may contact Easton at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202.319.4697 if she can ever be of service to you.
Are you interested in hosting a gathering for alumni in your area? Alumni events are a great way to network with others in your city that share a strong similar connection. We have heard from many alumni who have generated business and referrals from these events, found new jobs, identified a local mentor, or even developed strong friendships out of an interaction they had at one of our CUA Law regional alumni events.
The Office of Alumni Relations is a great resource to help plan and promote an event for maximum success. If you would like to host an event in your area, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-877-7CUALAW, so we can help you connect with your local alumni.
Reunion Weekend 2013 is September 27-29 and will be honoring the classes of 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, and 2008. A full listing of events can be viewed at http://community.law.edu/reunion2013. For more information, contact Lauren McCaghren, director of alumni relations, at email@example.com.

Last Friday there was a big announcement for Maine's entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem. The announcement was about a new project called Greenlight Maine. This project is right in line with this idea of growing a movement in Maine of high impact entrepreneurs. (Full disclosure: I'm a part of making the project happen. Here's more info:
A group of entrepreneur catalysts have joined hands with corporate and media leaders to "green light" the next chapter of success for Maine startups and entrepreneurs. Via all forms of media and LIVE events, Greenlight Maine will highlight the unique, creative, and inspirational activity that is being generated by small businesses as well as encourage investments to grow Maine's economy…one dream at a time.
Casting calls launched on Friday, June 5 to identify entrepreneurs to participate in the 2015-2016 Greenlight Maine program. Via initial registration on GreenlightMaine.com and subsequent casting call events, prospective companies will have the opportunity to pitch their product/service, people, plan and processes to become selected as one of twenty-six (26) companies to participate in a weekly TV show launched on WCSH6 and WLBZ2 in September. Over the 9 month Greenlight Maine campaign that culminates in June of 2016, prospective companies will vie for the a minimum prize purse of $100,000 and much more thru crowd funding.
Now the deadline for getting your idea loaded up onto the site is June 13th at midnight – so let's not dawdle people.
Greenlight Maine is the vision of Portland Media Group, a custom content and production company, founded by Brian Corcoran President of Shamrock Sports & Entertainment, Nat Thompson former Producer/Owner of WCSH-6 and Con Fullam an Executive TV Producer and Music Composer. "We are pleased to join hands with leaders in both the entrepreneurial and corporate communities to leverage a shared commitment to growing business and related economic growth throughout Maine. As small business owners ourselves, we are excited to pay it forward and pave the way for a new chapter of businesses to tap into the awareness, insights, mentoring and financial resources Greenlight Maine brings to the table", said Portland Media Group Partner and Shamrock Sports & Entertainment Founder Brian Corcoran.
Your dream becoming a reality could be a click away. Define your path to success by going to GreenlightMaine.com and hit the "Click Here to Participate" button!
There are lots of folks involved in making this happen, collaborating to support Maine 's entrepreneurs. The initial video platform site is on the Maine Startup & Create Week website. The process of selecting the 26 finalists will happen during a big event on the morning of Saturday the 27th of Maine Startup & Create Week. The partners of Blackstone Accelerates Growth are a part of helping us get the word out and recruiting companies and panelists. Don Gooding from MCED and Maine Angels isn't a judge but, with is background in t.v., Don is the MC of the show.
It's a great addition to the ecosystem — it helps bring everyone together AND supports the effort by Maine entrepreneurs to reach for the stars. That's the kind of stuff that we need to really get Disruptive Growth in Maine.

No Age: An Object
On first listen No Age's An Object sounds more direct and less experimental than earlier albums. Many tracks, like the almost no wave 'No Ground', are sparse and relatively uncluttered, but in the background there are the usual drones, stutterings, and squalls of controlled feedback. The contrast between the relatively straight-ahead, structured songs and these aural meanderings works well, especially when the cello arrives on 'An Impression'.
And that contrast does make some other tracks, like 'I Won't Be Your Generator' or 'C'mon Stimmung', positively poppy – well, by No Age's own standards.
Of course there are still dreamier, more expansive songs; the album closes with some lovely washes of sound on 'Commerce, Comment, Commence'. When I say this record sounds less experimental, well, it's all relative; there's the usual mucking about with samples and recording effects that drew us to No Age in the first place. It's just a little more controlled here, and it's an interesting direction for Dean Spunt and Randy Randall to be taking. Looking forward to what comes next.
No Age's Sub Pop page is here; you can buy An Object there and at the usual places, and you should.
Both Bars On: Top 10 Records of 2010
We used a spreadsheet this year. Yes, a bloody spreadsheet.
It's still not a perfect representation of what was an excellent year for music or, in fact, what we individually valued, but it will have to do. And at least we arrived at a top ten rather than the fudge of a top four we presented to you, adoring reader(s), this time last year.
Residing in the bubbling under category for 2010 were cracking albums by: The Hold Steady, Titus Andronicus, Holy Fuck, Wavves, Silver Mt Zion, The Divine Comedy, To Rococo Rot, Gold Panda, Thomas White, The Phantom Band, and Wooden Shjips.
Which – when we look at it – is a pretty amazing set of also-rans. It was a good year for music, like we said. Here's a Spotify playlist of (nearly) all the artists we loved from 2010.
And the honourable reissues were:
Nosferatu D2 – We're Gonna Walk Around This City With Our Headphones On To Block Out The Noise. If this had been released this year it would have been in our collective top 20. It's brilliant.
The Wonder Stuff – Hup (21st Anniversary Edition). More of a remake than a reissue, but still a pile of beautiful bile and hoe-down pop silliness.
And now, in reverse order for the sheer hell of it, here's our top ten of '10:
10. Drum Eyes: Gira Gira
Cloaks on! Enormous squelchy head-nodding sounds from DJ Scotch Egg and team. Engaging, mesmerising, sounds ace really really loud.
9. Four Tet: There Is Love In You
Kieran Hebden – one of Putney's finest exports – leaves the folktronica to one side and steers a rewardingly wobbly path between the tricksy and the tuneful. Consistently rewarding.
8. Mugstar: …Sun, Broken…
Space-rock for the now age. Gloriously large riffage and droned workouts that eat your ears.
7. The European: In a Very Real Sense Now
Deserves a proper review, really, and it might just get one before the end of the year. Simon Break writes tunes your postman could whistle and lyrics than are still making us laugh eight months after we first heard them. Proper pop for the not easily pleased.
6. The National: High Violet
After a good deal of excited waiting we got something like the album we were waiting for. Something of a breakthrough/crossover album, though the production arguably blunted some of the charm. When it worked – particularly on 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' – it made you think there was hope for this big indie band thing after all.
5. Fang Island: Fang Island
A refreshing lack of po-faced sincerity, this record is a joy from start to finish. If you can't smile to and with this record there's something wrong with you and the world.
Life Coach – Fang Island
4. Teenage Fanclub – Shadows
Scottish pop classicists make a welcome return with their best album for quite some time – perhaps since 1997 – and reduce men of a certain age to snuffling, beaming wrecks.
Baby Lee – Teenage Fanclub
3. I Like Trains – He Who Saw the Deep
Not-so-difficult second album helped out by fan pledges – definitely one of the best ways of getting round the problem of making music pay for itself. Still doing an excellent job at the point on the Venn diagram where songs and post-rock meet, with Guy Bannister's voice more than holding up against the swelling guitars and drums. Wonderful.
Progress is a Snake – I Like Trains
2. Teeth Of The Sea – Your Mercury
An album that re-instates your faith that the musically new is possible after all. Properly disquieting, epic and expansive, TOTS push at barriers you didn't realise existed until they're collapsing around your head. We love 'em.
You're Mercury – Teeth of the Sea
1. No Age – Everything In Between
Abstract interludes, all out DIY two-chorders, angsty beauty and everything in between. A truly staggering achievement of tortured guitars, noise and harmonies. We both saw them live this year and were left grinning like shit-eating tortoises. Marvellous.
Shed and Transcend – No Age
We hope you enjoyed. Merry Christmas. And see you soon.

We like buying records – actually, we really do. And we think you should too, so if you like any of this and haven't already bought them, go on! They'll be cheap by now]
No Age: Everything In Between
The physical form of No Age's third album might be a little starker and simpler than the extraordinarily beautiful packaging for Nouns – and if you only downloaded it you're missing out – but the music within the black and white sleeve is still a rich treat for heart and mind alike. Everything in Between sounds like a more confident, coherent album than Nouns, though it seems to have had a long and difficult gestation; perhaps it just sounds like they've really worked out what it is they want to do. It's beautifully produced, which brings out the instrumental and experimental elements. The songs between these washes of sound remind me of a whole host of post-hardcore bands – early Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, a little Black Flag – because they manage to sound poppy, punky and experimental simultaneously.
Despite this, and the fun I had watching the crowd-surfing at the Grosvenor in August, No Age are nothing like a guilty pleasure. This album sounds so current – if anything they should have released it earlier in the year, it's a great summer record – that I don't feel in the least bit like I'm succumbing to nostalgia. I suspect this will be in my end-of-year list. And if you can, go and see them before they leave the UK again.

Vastly different spending and revenue priorities dominated a Pocono Record editorial board meeting featuring two candidates for the 189th District state House seat.
Vastly different spending and revenue priorities dominated a Pocono Record editorial board meeting featuring two candidates for the 189th District state House seat.
First-term Republican incumbent Rosemary Brown emphasized progress in reducing "out-of-control" spending while prioritizing program funding.
Democratic challenger Liz Forrest said the state has given too many tax breaks to corporations that don't need it, failed to adequately tax natural gas extraction and forced localities to raise taxes for services the state scaled back.
The state budget increased by 40 percent in eight years under former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, Brown said. She said Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and the legislature have begun to turn it around.
"We have taken control these past two years on spending," Brown said. "I have not signed a no-new-tax pledge but my mentality is that. If we clean up everything in government, I think you'll find we have revenue."
School districts, and agencies serving the developmentally disabled, have been hurt by state cutbacks that must be made up somewhere else, Forrest said.
"What they did is transfer taxes to the local level," Forrest said, adding that Brown hasn't delivered on a promise to reduce school property taxes. "We have not got any of that."
They disagreed about the effectiveness of former state Rep. John Siptroth, whom Forrest worked for and Brown defeated two years ago, in assisting local school districts.
The state could generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually by enacting an extraction tax on Marcellus Shale natural gas, Forrest said, rather than the approved impact fee that primarily goes to localities where drilling takes place.
"They already told us we are sitting on the Saudi Arabia of natural gas," Forrest said. "We saw it with coal. We saw people grabbing the resource and leaving a mess."
"I think it was a fair compromise and a start," Brown replied. "I think we can drill for it and we can be good to the environment."
Pennsylvania should follow the example of West Virginia and Texas in enacting an extraction tax, Forrest said.
Brown said she would oppose an extraction gas until Pennsylvania lowers its 9.99 percent corporate net income tax, one of the highest in the nation.
About 70 percent of Pennsylvania drillers avoid paying the corporate income tax by incorporating in another state, Forrest replied.
Both candidates support House Bill 1776, aimed at replacing school property taxes with a combination of new income and sales taxes. But Brown doubts the bill would ever entirely eliminate the property tax.
"The problem is the numbers just don't add up," Forrest said.
Brown said she ran two years ago because Siptroth made no progress in school tax reform.
Forrest criticized recent legislation granting employers payroll tax breaks and other job-creating incentives.
Similar provisions passed in other states have been abused by employers who shift job holders here rather than offering those jobs to Pennsylvanians, she said.
But Brown said several pro-business measures, including tort reform, will improve the state's job climate.
Brown said the state has to find money to rebuild deficient roads and bridges. Nearly 80 percent of the state's bridges need work, she said.
"All of this is creeping in on the total budget," Brown said. "I'm in continual review on this."
Forrest supports efforts to charge tolls on additional roads, including Interstate 80, to pay for upkeep. She said under a previous I-80 toll plan, local traffic traveling short distances would have been exempt from the tolls.
"At some point the people who use the roads have to pay for them," Forrest said.
Both candidates support efforts to reduce prison costs by shifting non-violent offenders to alternative programs.
Brown said she would vote for abortion restrictions if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down a 1973 ruling legalizing it, and leaves it up to each state to decide.
But Brown said she doubts the issue will ever come before the general assembly. Forrest supports the right of women to make personal reproductive decisions.

Over the years I have interviewed a reasonable number of technical people for jobs. Some came from agencies, some directly, some recommended. ALL were interviewed, by us, in exactly the same way.
I still receive a regular flow of emails from recruiters asking if I would consider a candidate or if I would consider myself for a vacancy they are handling. Even though I'm not looking for either at the moment I still try to respond to all emails out of courtesy. One of the huge omissions from this system is the name of the company that's hiring. Now, I understand why the recruiters do this; they don't want me to go directly to the company because they'd lose their commission. But, in an era where the biggest deal-maker or -breaker of any job is the company and its culture, this information cannot be left out.
So, enter roundabout.io. I'm quite sure that this isn't the only site of its kind, but it's the one that came to my notice today. It cuts out the middleman and lists the job description AND the company. Nice. The only thing I think is still missing is salary; or at least salary range. Whilst I agree that company and culture are critical, so is being able to pay your mortgage! Maybe, as an industry, we're not quite ready to be that open about salaries yet, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.

text: Digital Apple, Google Face Off Over Mobile Payments Startup By Kenneth Musante|November 2, 2010Share By Kenneth Musante|November 2, 2010Share Apple and Google are headed for a showdown over mobile payments startup BOKU, according to reports. The two tech giants are both in private talks with the San Francisco-based company about a possible acquisition or partnership. Over the past several weeks, BOKU CEO Mark Britto and co-founder Ron Hirson have held meetings with the head of Apple's iPhone division, but the company has also been talking with Michael Morrissey, the head of Google Mobile Services for the company's Android platform, according to TechCrunch. Exactly what those talks were about, no one is saying. Google might be exploring a full acquisition, or a partnership. Apps on Google's Android store can already accept BOKU in-app payments. BOKU's deals with mobile carriers such as AT&T and Vodafone UK reportedly give it access to 1.6 billion potential customers. And if a bidding war for BOKU does break out, an acquisition price could hit nine figures, TechCrunch speculated. According to one of it's sources, Apple is prepared to spend between $250 million and $450 million. BOKU was valued at just over $100 million back in January, and has already raised $38 million in funding. Share http://adweek.it/2kIuf0l copy Adweek Adweek

Spent the weekend upstate with friends and fireworks…seriously had the most amazing time ever. I have quickly learned just how important it is for my sanity to escape the city as often as possible…especially with this crazy heat, it can really start to suffocate you.
We hung out in the woods, swam in the lake, and got into all kinds of trouble. I even went skinny dipping for the first time ever, shhhhhh! All I want to do all summer is embrace my inner hippie and go on a million adventures.

Shipping containers have become popular sites for repurposing in recent years–we've seen shipping container homes, gardens, even portable pizza shops. Architecture and design firm Perkins+Will is taking a different tack by turning 40-foot shipping containers into learning laboratories in South Africa.
The LaunchPad computer labs, created in partnership with U.S. nonprofit Infinite Family, are intended to connect local kids with mentors around the world. Mentors talk weekly with South African kids affected by HIV/AIDs and poverty via computer to help them improve English skills, computer skills, interpersonal skills, and more.
The labs come with a slew of sustainable features: solar-shaded roof canopies that keep the interior temperature comfortable, a wall of recycled bottles (also to moderate temperatures), windows placed for optimum access to sun and breezes for natural light and ventilation, and battery-powered storage banks that keep the power on during extreme weather events. The labs also feature laptops instead of desktops–the former uses less power and doesn't create as much heat.
The first LaunchPad lab opened in August in Alexandria; Infinite Family plans to open 100 more in the next five years in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. Check out Infinite Family's video mentorship program here.

"Obsession" is a good way to describe the level of devotion for many otherwise easy-going eaters across the US. Inspiring a following that borders on fanatic, it makes an appearance on over 25% of menus across the nation. That's all restaurant menus, in all states, so while it may not sound especially impressive at first, consider the diverse number of cuisines found coast to coast, including the the chefs who wouldn't touch the stuff with a 10-foot stalk of celery. I'm talking about ranch dressing; the tangy, herbaceous condiment that has become inextricably linked with edible Americana. Even back in the days of my vegetable-hating youth, I too succumbed to the creamy comfort of pale, iceberg salads smothered in enough ranch dressing to sink a ship. Stealthily consumed under the pretense of eating a healthy serving of vegetables, I could empty out those family-sized bottles at an alarming rate.
Ranch has been re-imagined and revitalized in striking new ways since then, appealing to many previous detractors with brighter, bolder flavors and countless bases that cater to more wholesome diets. The concept itself has become so prevalent in popular culture, in fact, that it's transcended that original format to become a wholly unique flavor. No longer a mere condiment, anything can be ranch-flavored.
That's where Biena Chickpea Snacks come in with the introduction of their new Rockin' Ranch Chickpeas. Crunchy garbanzo beans are the new bacon, as far as I'm concerned, proliferating in the snack aisle and home kitchens alike in a rainbow of flavors. The key to their success is their versatility, not only as stand-alone snacks, but also components in other dishes. The most obvious approach to incorporating these nuggets of crunchy goodness into your daily diet is to simply throw a handful into any green salad, replacing those tired old croutons with invigorating new zest. Especially true of these particular gems, the ranch flavor is ideal for perking up even the barest bowl of leafy greens. Bold and tangy notes of vinegar provide the first wake-up call; assertive but not aggressive. Savory garlicky undertones come through with each and every crunch, appealing to a wide range of palates. Despite being generously coated with spices and seasonings, this flavorful dusting won't cake on your fingers or turn them fluorescent colors should you choose to simply munch out of hand. Overall, the flavor is remarkably ranch-y, yet sure to appeal even if ranch isn't exactly your dressing of choice.
It would have been easy to plow through a full bag (or two) as fuel for marathon study sessions, but I wanted to make more out of these crispy chickpea gems. My mind quickly went to the classic pairing of buffalo wings and ranch dressing, but with a heartier and more wholesome slant.
Simple and easy enough to suit the most hectic weekday dinner rush, this hearty stew combines all the best parts of a spicy buffalo wing marinade with a few basic pantry staples, elevating the concept well beyond standard bar fare. Thick and rich, each spoonful sparkles with just all the right spice to ring true. Who needs fried fast food when little more than a few humble beans can trump the whole flavor sensation? A cooling ranch creme serves to balance out the heat, and of course, a generous handful of those addictive crunchy ranch chickpeas adds the much-needed textural contrast to complete the picture.
Even as the days grow longer and warmer, this is one satisfying one-pot dish that will stay on my menu as a perennial favorite.
Buffalo-Ranch Chickpea Stew
Buffalo Chickpea Stew:
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 Stalks Celery, Diced
- 3 Tablespoons Chickpea Flour
- 1 Cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
- 1/2 Cup Tomato Puree
- 1 14-Ounce Can (1 3/4 Cup Cooked) Chickpeas, Drained
- 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
- Salt, to Taste
Ranch Crème:
- 1/2 Cup Vegan Sour Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Finely Minced
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
To Serve:
- Ranch-Flavored Crunchy Chickpeas
- 1 – 2 Scallions, Thinly Sliced
- Set a medium pot over moderate heat and add in the oil. Saute the onion, garlic, and celery together until softened, aromatic, and just beginning to caramelize around the edges.
- Sprinkle in the chickpea flour and stir well, coating the vegetables. Cook lightly, for just a minute or two, to gently toast and cook the raw flavor out of the flour. Slowly incorporate the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to ensure that it properly hydrates the flour without clumping.
- Once simmering, introduce the tomato puree, chickpeas, and hot sauce next, stirring well. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let simmer until the liquid has significantly thickened; about 10 – 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the ranch crème by simply mixing together all of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Once the stew is thick and bubbling away happily, add salt to taste and ladle it out into individual serving bowls. Top with dollops of ranch crème, crunchy chickpeas, and sliced scallions.

I had same problem. No matter how many times I have changed batteries, It works for a second then closes with signal saying "warning batt

Batteries This camera has been the worst digital camera I have ever used. The pic quality is fine. The ease of use is fine. The problem lies in the battery longevity. Maybe that is not even the right description. I will put in new batteries and only use my camera for a short time. The next time I go to use the camera it is not at all uncommon for it to not turn on. Even though it has new batteries and was not left on, the batteries are dead. It happens with the rechargeable as well as re

I have a canon SD1100 I just purchased and after a few minutes the camera will not shut off, the power button won't work and I have to open the battery cover to turn it off. Somehow this completely drains the battery too every time even if it was just charged. Also the camera turns itself on by itself about 10 minutes after you put the battery in it and once again you can't turn it off. I got another battery and the same thing happens. Otherwise it works fine.
If this is a new camera, you should be running back to the store to return it. ... Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera
Camera hangs I cannot use the camera, every time I open it the screen is blank and the green light is lit on and cannot turn it off, there are times that I can use it but can only take only one snapshot and the camera hangs.

Lens stuck I have had this problem twice with this camera, the first time I exchanged the camera for a new one. The second time the batteries went dead and the lens was out. It won't turn on and makes this beeping noise when I do try to turn it on. I tried changing out the batteries, but nothing seems to help.
Here is how I fixed this problem. I grasped the lens around the base (larger part) like you would if you were going take off a beer bottle cap. Very gently while sliding my thumb and index finger around the lens, I rocked it back and fort ... Polaroid I533P Digital Camera

When i turn my camera on, it seems fine, all buttons functional. When i take a photo, it flashes, but no photo will pop up in my screen.
