OfflOJE^ 2j\\// Serving Columbus, Dayton, Centraf and Southwestern Ohio Vol. 43, No. 50 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1965 — 16 KISLEV, 5726 Am*rlc«n h Idcali Rackoff Is Chairman Of Tribute Dinner In discussing the Tifereth Israel Tribute Dinner for Samuel L. Op¬ penheimer which is to be held Sun¬ day, December 12, at the Tifereth Israel Congregation Social Hall, Coclrtail Hour starting at 6:30 p.m., Mr. Melvin Rackoff, chairman of the Dniner said: "In every year since the State of Israel was estab¬ lished, there has been progress to add to the glory of the Jewish people and new problems to test the strength of its ties with the Jewish homeland. "This . year, as Israel ends it's 17th year of statehood, its progress and problems continue to command our attention and our devotion. It has been one of the most remark¬ able characteristics of Israel that its people have had the courage and the ability to turn every new problem into another step to prog¬ ress—from problems, to progress, to achievement. This has been the pattern of Israel's success. "\NE REJOICE in that success because we had had a share in pro¬ ducing it. It is a matter of great historic importance that the Jews of this country, acting through the Israel Bond program, have given their brothers in Israel the tools to build a sound and expanding econ¬ omy," he said. The Israel Bond drive helped Israel become one of the fastest growing countries in the world— from a population of 650,000 Jews to a nation of 2,500,000, with new cities and towns, with new harbors and highways, with new irrigation systems, with new scientific and educational institutions, with new industries and new farm settle¬ ments and with new opportunities for social, economic and cultural progress. ISRAEL BONDS, which have been largely responsible for the steady rate of development during the past 14 years, are needed more than ever now to achieve a decisive breakthrough toward industrializa¬ tion. Israel Bonds will be called upon to finance the so-called "infra¬ structure" including such basic needs as water and electricity sup¬ ply, schools and vocational training, DR. SILVERMAN TO BE HONORED HERE Dr. Morris Silverman, Rabbi Emeritus of Emanuel Synagogue, Hartford, Connecticut, will receive an honorary degree, the doctor of humane letters, at the autumn com mencement of the Ohio State Uni versity next Friday, Dr. Silverman was rabbi at Emanuel Synagogue from 1923 until his retirement in 1961 and has held ~a number of varied and prominent positions. He has served as rabbi of Temple Israel, Washington Heights, New York City; as chap¬ lain of the Brooklyn, N. Y., City Prison, and as instructor of Jewish history at the Storrs College (now the University of Connecticut). A LITURGICAL SCHOLAR for more than 30 years, he was the first to translate the prayer Books for the United Syna¬ gogue and the Rabbinical Assem¬ bly, and is author of a nunnber of religious publica¬ tions. He is a 1916 graduate of Ohio State and re<*ived a master's degree from Jewish Theo¬ logical Seminary of America, where he reecived the master of Hebrew Literature degree m 1947 and tht. doctor of ilebrew literature in 1952 —the first in the field of American Jewish history. FOUNDER AND charter member of Mt. Sinai Hospital in Hartford, he has been active in numerous ser- (conflnuvd on pag« 4) | Melvin Rackoff marketing, shipping and harbors, roads and communications. "Israel Bonds has been one of the largest single factors in helping Israel achieve this unparalleled rate of economic growth and it is toward Israel Bonds that the State of Israel looks for the continuance of it's economic progress and for the welfare of it's new immigrants," Rackoff concluded. Silverman Schiff Named Honorary Vet Robert W. Schiff, president of the Shoe Corporation of America, has been elected to honorary member¬ ship in the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. by Xhe 70th Annual Na¬ tional Convention. According to Milton A. Waldor, JWV National Commander, only citizens of the United States, who have performed distinguished and outstanding service, may be elected io receive this honor. "It is with great pride that we add Robert W. Schiff to the list of distinguished Americans who hold honorary membership in JWV ... J. Edgar Hoover, Dean Acheson, Bernard Baruch, General Omar Bradley, and Mayor Robert Wagner," Com¬ mander Waldor said. MR. SCHIFF, who was presented JWV's Inter Faith Award in 1955, by Vice President Richard Nixon it the dedication of the National Shrine to the Jetvish War Dead in Washington, D.C., is also the recipient of the 10th Annual T.

The event to take place on Sunday, December 19, will'also high¬ light the installation of new officers, and members of the Board for the Beth Jacob Congregation THE SEMI-FORMAL a f f ai r will begin with a cocktail hour, at 6 p.m., to be followed by the light¬ ing of the Chanukah candles by Cantor Herman Blonder, which will then be followed by the installation ceremonies conducted by Rabbi David Stavsky. Mrs. William Bless explained that the annual Sisterhood Chanu¬ kah banquet in honor of the newly- elected officers, is the miin source of revenue for sisterhood activities, particularly the complete sponsor¬ ship of the Beth Jacob Religious School. Mrs. Bless called on all members of sisterhood and their friends to join in this evening of dinner and dance. HAROLD EISENSTEIN, Director of Gallery Players at the Jewish Center, Mrs. Eddie Kay, and Mr. Dick Stein and his talented band will feature a top "broadway-like" program of entertainment. Rabbi Stavsky, commenting on the forthcoming annual affair, said: "Beth Jacob Sisterhood is made up of young, dedicated ladies, who, as their predecessors before them, work arduously for the synagogue and all of its youth programs.

Eshkol Hospitalized; Suffers Exhaustion JERUSALEM (JTA)-Primc Minister Levi Eshkol was' ho,spitalized here Sunday night for what his physicans diagnosed as a "general exhaustion." Rumors that he had suffered from pneumonia were dis¬ pelled by a medical bulletin that reported Mr. Eshkol had to be taken to the hospital because of "general weakness" caused by a tiring week's work, followed by a cold. In addition to working hard on Government, Mr. Eshkol had stayed up all night last Wednesday night, watching Israeli army maneuvers. His physicians said they ordered complete rest for their pjtient, who is 70, and had requested that he shun all visitors during the next few days. He may be in the hospital 10 days,! it was indicated. MR. ESHKOL'S hospitalization will delay formation of the new Cabinet. He has appointed a sub¬ committee to continue talks about formation of the new Government. Last Friday he offered new con¬ cessions to the Independent Liberals in talks which he had with their leaders. The results of his talks to date indicated that the Independent Lib- cials and the leftist Mapam ap¬ peared to have common ground with the Premier's Mapai-Achdut Avoda Alignment conditions for joining the next coalition. The deadlock with the National Religi¬ ous Party, a member of the present his efforts to form a new coalition caretaker Cabinet, continued how¬ ever. PREMIER ESHKOL indicated concern over Israel's inflation when he (told the annual luncheon of Israel Journalists in Tel Aviv on Friday that one of the new Govern¬ ment's aims would be to slow down the rise in Israel's living standards. He stressed that there would be no devaluation of Israel's currency. The Premier also touched on Israel's futile efforts to induce the European Economic Community to rescind a minimum price reference plan which would have the effect of. raising consumer prices of Israeli oranges exported to the six Euro- mart nations by 20 to 25 percent. The Premier said there was "logic" in suggestions that Israel, a heavy importer of Euromart products, take retaliatory action "but first of all we must take other actions and exert pressure" on the Euro- mart nations. Gordon Cultural Series Brings Meyer Levin Here Meyer Levin, internationally known author, journalist and creative artist, will open the second season of the Gordon Cultural Series of the Jewish Center this Monday, December 13, at 8;30 p.m. in the Center auditorium. Dr. Ivan Gilbert, Jewish Center Program vice-president and Dr. Harold Monetit, chairman of the Adult Activities Committee, announced, with a great deal of pride, the opening program for this Gordon Cultural Series will feature "An Evening with Meyer Levin" dedicated to one of the significant Jewish writ¬ ers of the century. LEVIN IS THE author of many best sellers, including "The Old Bunch, " "Compulsion," "The Fa¬ natic," "Eva" and the most re¬ cently, "The Stronghold," which received acclaim in literary cir¬ cles throughout the couMry. In these works he reveals his roots, motivations and experiences as a Jewish literary giant on the American scene. Chicago born. Levin has just returned from an extended auto-camping tour through much of the "Old Jewish Pale" in the U.S.S.R. with visits to Sholem Aleichem country, as well as stops in Moscow and Leningrad. As a" creative genius, deeply rooted in historic beginnings, Mr. Levin has gathered new impressions of World Jewish Life as it exists today. FOLLOWING HIS education at the University of Chicago, Levin worked as a reporter, novelist, playwright and Hollywood director and producer. He has visited Is¬ rael from its earliest beginnings and maintains a home there. Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Monett, in commenting on the opportunity of having Mr. Levin in Columbus, in¬ dicated that this year marks the second season & cultural events in memory of the late Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Gordon. WITH CHARACTERISTIC fore¬ sight and thoughtfulness, this be¬ loved couple created a legacy which has enabled the Jewish Center to develop appropriate projects ex¬ pressing the Gordon's interest in Jewish CiJtural Affairs. That Dr. and Mrs. Gordon should leave a rich, cultural heritage for the community to enjoy is typical of this dedicated couple. "Uge" and Reva, as they were affection¬ ately known to their many friends, were devoted to the civic, chari¬ table and cultural wellare of pur community. Meyer Levin MISS MARTHA SCHLAMME, in tcmationally renowned folk and concert singer and Mr. Herman Pearlman, artist in sculpture, glass form, are the remaining events of the Gordon Cultural Series this year. Everyone in the community is in¬ vited to spend "An Evening with Meyer Levin" to enjoy a unique and rich experience in Jewish Cul¬ tural Affairs.

Diablo III dev rolls 12d6, scores PC sales record
Trebles and Skillrunes all round
Diablo III has become the fastest selling PC game of all time, publisher Blizzard has claimed, after shifting 3.5m copies within 24 hours of release.
Despite a few niggling problems with the game - which Blizzard is readying a patch for, it said - Diablo III hit shelves last week and was snapped up by record numbers of PC gamers, with a further 1.2m copies provided to World of Warcraft Annual Pass subscribers.
Totally in the pink
While those figures are impressive in the world of personal computing, it still failed to claw the top spot on the all-formats chart, with Rockstar's Max Payne 3 sitting firmly on the central podium.
Then again, console sales are always healthier - you only need to look towards Modern Warfare 3's first day sales of 6.5m units to see that. Diablo III took an entire week to come close to that figure.
You can read what we thought about Diablo III here on Reg Hardware. ®
Re: Eh?
"There is no single player Diablo 3.
There is only multiplayer pn your own, which isn't quite the same thing."
Not having purchased or played the game I'll have to take your word on this, but it is rather stupid of Blizard to not have a true single player mode, which does not require constant internet access.
There are many thousands (millions?) of games players who just like to spend around an hour or so playing games then save and leave it for another time/day/week. These types of players tend to have full time jobs and other responsibilities like families and definately do not live in mum's basement.
For these types of players getting an "error ###" message because; the servers are down, too busy, or the Internet performance dropped due to it being "peak time" are all unacceptable if you only have a short time window to play.
"a few niggling problems"
Oh really? I haven't been able to play twice so far in the last week. First time was the whole of Sunday afternoon, and then the whole of Wednesday evening after getting home from work. And that's the single player game only. God knows what's going to happen when I catch up with my friends who are currently playing on 'Hell' difficulty online.
Re: Eh?
Right, so just because you have 'not once had any problems' that means no problems exist?
I've got the game and have only put a few hours in so far, but twice I've not been able to connect so just gave up after half an hour.
I'm not saying it's a big deal, I'm not saying it won't get fixed and I'm not complaining about DRM, I simply don't believe you should force everybody to play this way, and if you do, you'd better be prepared for the backlash.
The difference between Diablo III and Modern Warfare whatever
is that people will still be playing Diable III in ten years' time.
Heck, people are still playing Diablo II now.
Re: Remember...
...do not criticise this game in their forums. You will be banned and lose access to the game.
Never been to Blizzard's forums, then? All they are made up of is users repeatedly criticizing their games -- and not being banned for it.
As for the rest of your post, it's the same drivel from people who've never played a modern PC game. I had way more trouble with the crap CD rootkit DRM they used to include with games than I've had with the online check-in type.

Advantage Plumbing. 20 yrs ago our long time plumber retired and gave us Advantage Plumbing as a good replacement. Since then we have used their services at our home, our rental, and recommended them to other friends and family. You can't go wrong--they are honest, friendly, and do a great job.
A-ONE IN MY BOOK. My Mother and I are both senior citizens. Being older should make us wiser…In the present day economy, it is hard to find a company that you can trust and know that they will warranty their work they perform. Advantage Plumbing did plumbing, electrical, drywall, and painting for us. Their crews aim to please their customers. We are very pleased with the end results and recommend them highly. We were also excited about the 10% senior citizen discount. P.S. (Orange County)
Clean work for great price. Advantage Plumbing recently did a bathroom renovation for us. Alfred came to our home and showed us pictures of their previous work and we were sold. He helped us select the fixtures, tiles, etc that we wanted and his crew executed the job beautifully. The price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend them.

Animal Powered Systems (GTZ, 1986, 60 p.) |
The most attractive fields of application for animal-power technology lie in subsistence agriculture and, thus, in areas that have as yet had only superficial contact with industrial technology. The only technical infrastructure that can actually reach the potential user of animal-power technology in such areas is that of the local handicrafts. The following considerations are intended to emphasize their potentially decisive role in the introduction of animal-power technology. The most important demand on technologies serving the field of "assured subsistence" is high operational reliability. Efficiency is a purely secondary requirement. Operational reliability is the very forte of traditional technologies. A traditional water-raising facility, for instance, can quickly be repaired by either the user himself or a local craftsman, but the inability to prevent or remedy the failure of a diesel pump can jeopardize weeks of work. Under certain circumstances, it could even threaten the livelihood - or very existence - of those who depend on it to work.
Just like any other technical innovation earmarked for use in the field of assured subsistence, the animal power, too, will only stand a chance of gaining wide acceptance, if a high degree of operational reliability is guaranteed. A high degree of functional reliability can be achieved by reducing the probability of a breakdown (failure probability) or by increasing the probability of successful repair. While both of those alternatives are possible, they lead in opposite directions when it comes to choosing the type of new technologies. Assuring functional reliability by reducing the chance of outage usually goes hand in hand with a drastic increase in the monetary value (= price) of the machine. In other words, built-in reliability increases the initial cost. If the desired degree of reliability is to be achieved by less capital-intensive means, the only good option is to increase the probability of successful repair. And that, in turn, can only be done by ensuring both that the time lag between breakdown 'and repair is short, and that the cost of repair is moderate.
Then, after only a few years of service, a minor breakdown that the users could not repair on their own effectively took the pump out of commission - long before the end of its theoretical service life. Norias are, by contrast, prone to frequent breakdowns and of low efficiency, but the users can build and repair them with no outside help (industrial inputs), so that - in the long run - they are more "reliable" than commercial models. (They've also been around for hundreds of years!) Thus, the main challenge in the development of new types of animal powers is to come up with designs that combine the advantages of industrial and handicraft technologies, whereby cooperation with local craftsmen is, of course' vital and indispensable. The fact that "assured subsistence" and the provision of essential needs are included in the scope of objectives of developmental cooperation necessitates close attention to the problems of intercultural communication in the project context. With regard to teamwork between development experts and local craftsmen, such problems are further complicated by basic differences in the "mentalities" of craftsmen and engineers. While craftsmen learn new techniques by progressing from outward appearances to the intrinsic relevance, engineers and scientists tend to proceed in the opposite direction. Local craftsmen do not assimilate innovation and technology transfer by studying technical drawings, but through the gradual succession of watching, working together, imitating and, finally, creatively modifying. The nature of animal power as a typical hen dicraft technology is pointed out in Uhland's "handbook for practical-minded machine builders", published in 1899: "In designing an animal power, theoretical calculations are normally dispensed with altogether, because they are of little value. and because the types that have evolved on a practical basis serve as better models for new designs than could ever be arrived at by way of inherently unreliable mathematical determinations." The described line of causality also applies to the case at hand. Assuming that a certain type of animal power is firmly embedded in the handicraft-technical culture of a region other than the one for which its introduction is envisioned, a temporary exchange of craftsmen could well be the most economical means of effecting the technology transfer. The same is true of numerous other traditional-type water-raising systems. The scope of cooperation and assistance promised in the introductory section of this booklet includes the sounding out and potential fosterage of such unconventional approaches. Handicraft work must by no means be or remain free of all industrial inputs. On the contrary, some handicraft products are only possible due to the availability of certain industrially produced components, be it a relatively complicated mass-produced article like an automobile tire for the runner of an animal-power, or a ball bearing, or any number of hardware articles and accessories such as nuts and bolts, screws, steel cables or plastic tubing., In some countries, the manufacture of animal-drawn wagons and carts has already taken on more intensive forms of specialization, e.g. in which the domestic industry supplies the wheels and axles, and the craftsmen build the bodies. In the case of an animal power, the labor breakdown could consist of: bearings, shafts and any cast-iron gear wheels from the industry, and the rest from craftsmen. While the incorporation of scrap parts would be conceivable during the initial phases of a propagation program, limited availability of the requisite parts would be a major handicap for long-term projects.

Brent above $116 on economy hopes, ME worries
Singapore, February 4, 2013
Brent crude steadied above $116 per barrel on Monday, holding near a more than four-month high, as data from top consumers United States and China reinforced a view that the global economy was headed for a modest uptick this year.
Positive US employment numbers and confirmation of a mild recovery in China, evidenced by purchasing manager surveys, allayed some concerns about weak fuel demand from the world's two biggest oil users.
"We are now seeing a consistent story of moderate growth in the US and China, which is supportive of oil prices in general," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney. "This will probably be a week of consolidation."
Brent traded 14 cents lower at $116.62 per barrel at 0340 GMT, holding near a 4-1/2-month high of $117.07 reached on Friday. It has risen for three straight weeks.
US crude slipped 18 cents to $97.59 per barrel, after rising for eight straight weeks, the longest such winning streak since July-August 2004.
Brent's premium to US crude widened to above $19 per barrel on Friday, a level last seen in early January, on swelling inventories in Cushing, Oklahoma.
Traders expect stocks at Cushing to keep building as the Seaway pipeline, which had been expected to absorb some of those stocks, may not be able to run at full capacity until the second half of the year.
"I won't be surprised to see (the widening differential) continue as the market is still adjusting for the fact that Seaway's (drawdown) won't be as much as anticipated," Spooner said.
The global economic outlook brightened considerably last week after US payrolls rose by 157,000 last month, with upward revisions for November and December, while the Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity rose to its highest since April.
"The job market is healthier than we had previously thought," said Jason Schenker, president, of Prestige Economics. "The outlook is positive and one of increased growth in the year ahead."
Other purchasing manager surveys showed that China's factories remained on track for a mild recovery, while the euro zone manufacturing sector, despite a contraction, had their best month in a year, suggesting the worst may be over.
Data on Sunday showed China's increasingly important services sector rose for the fourth straight month in January, though the slim increase added to evidence that the recovery remains a modest one.
Also underpinning oil prices were supply concerns stemming from rising tensions in the Middle East, the world's biggest source of crude.
A suicide bomber detonated a truck packed with explosives in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Sunday, killing at least 33 people. The blast was the third major attack in weeks in or near the multiethnic city of Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, at the heart of a dispute between Iraq's central government and the autonomous Kurdistan region.
Meanwhile Iran, which is at a centre of a nuclear controversy that earned it stiff sanctions from the United States and Europe, said on Sunday it was open to a US offer of direct talks on its nuclear programme.
It added that six world powers had suggested a new round of nuclear negotiations this month, but did not commit itself to either proposal.
In Beirut, President Bashar al-Assad accused Israel on Sunday of trying to destabilise Syria by attacking a military research base outside Damascus last week, and said Syria was able to confront "current threats... and aggression" against it. – Reuters

Media Moments
For some time now I have been suffering from what I call media moments. We all heard of senior moments, a term used mostly by people of mature years who suddenly experience a lapse in recall. The mind goes blank and the individual complains, Im having a senior moment. A media moment is a little different. It happens when you are reading or hearing what passes for the news. You are appalled and frustrated by the conservative bias, the evasions, the non sequiturs, and the outright disinformation. Your mind does not go blank; you simply wish it would.
I recall one media moment I experienced while listening to the BBC news. The BBC supposedly provides coverage superior to what is heard on U.S. mainstream media. It occasionally runs stories on European and Third World countries that are not likely to be carried by U.S. newscasters. BBC reporters ask confrontational questions of the people they interview, applying a critical edge rarely shown by U.S. journalists. But the truth is, when it comes to addressing the fundamental questions of economic power, corporate dominance, and Western globalization, BBC journalists and commentators are as careful as their American counterparts not to venture beyond certain orthodox parameters.
The recent BBC segment that gave me my media moment was a special report on asthma, of all things. It began by noting that the number of asthma sufferers has been increasing at the alarming rate of 50 percent each decade. Scientists are puzzled, for there is no easy explanation, the narrator tells us. One factor is genetic predisposition. We hear from a British scientist who says, yes, there is definitely a hereditary factor behind asthma; it tends to run in families. Sure, I say to myself, asthma is increasing by 50 percent a decade because people with a genetic tendency toward the disease are becoming more procreative than everyone else. I feel a media moment coming on.
There are other contributing factors to the asthma epidemic, the narrator continues, for instance lifestyle. He interviews another scientist who confirms this scientific finding. People are keeping cleaner homes, using air conditioning, and in general creating a more antiseptic lifestyle for themselves, the scientist says. This means they do not get enough exposure to pollen, dust, and dirt the way people did in the good old days. Hence, they fail to build up a proper defense to such irritants.
These comments made me think back to my younger years when I lived next to a construction site that deposited daily clouds of dust over my home for months on end. Rather than building up a hardy resistance, I developed an acute sensitivity to dust and mold that has stayed with me to this day. Does exposure to a toxic environment really make us stronger? Looking at the evidence on cancer, lung diseases, and various occupational ailments, we would have to conclude that exposure does not inoculate us, rather it seems to suppress or overload our immune systems, leaving us more not less vulnerable.
The BBC report on asthma then takes us to India. A young man suffering from the disease is speaking in a rasping voice, telling of his affliction. This is accompanied by the squishing sound of a hand-held respirator. The victim says he has no money for medication. The narrator concludes that the disease persists among the poor in such great numbers because they cannot afford medical treatment. I say to myself, yes, but this doesnt tell us what causes asthma in the first place.
Another expert is interviewed. He says that in India, as in most of the world, asthma is found in greatest abundance in the congested cities, less so in the suburbs, and still less in the countryside. No explanation is given for this, but by now I can figure it out for myself: the inner-city slum dwellers of Calcutta enjoy too antiseptic a lifestyle; too much air-conditioning and cleanliness has deprived them of the chance to build up a natural resistance. At this point I can feel the media moment drawing ever closer.
The BBC report makes no mention of how neoliberal free market policies have driven people off the land, causing an explosion in slum populations throughout the world. These impoverished urban areas produce the highest asthma rates. The report says nothing about how, as cigarette markets in the West become saturated, the tobacco companies vigorously pursue new promotional drives in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, leading to a dramatic climb in Third World smoking rates, which certainly does not help anyones respiratory system.
Finally the BBC narrator mentions pollution. He says it may be a factor, but more study is needed. May? Furthermore, he asks, Is pollution really a cause or is it merely a trigger? He seems to be leaning toward trigger, although by now I am having trouble seeing the difference. The media moment has come upon me full force. I begin talking back to my radio, posing such cogent and measured comments as, You jackass BBC flunky announcer.
Media apologists like to point out that journalists face severe constraints of time and space and must necessarily reduce complex realities into brief reports; hence, issues are conflated, and omissions and oversights are inevitable. But this BBC report went on for some ten minutes, quite a long time by newscast standards. There would have been ample opportunity to say something about how the use of automobiles has skyrocketed throughout the entire world, causing severe damage to air quality especially in cities. There would have been enough time to mention how the destruction of rain forests and the dramatic increase in industrial emissions have contributed to an alarming carbon dioxide build- up and a commensurate decline in the atmospheres oxygen content. The BBC could have told us how the oil cartels have kept us hooked on fossil fuel, while refusing to develop nonpolluting, inexpensive tidal, wind, thermal, and solar energy systems.
But mainstream media bosses would dismiss such revelations as editorializing and ideologically motivated. Instead, this BBC report chose to be balanced and objective by blaming the victims, their genetic predispositions, their antiseptic lifestyles, and their inability to buy medications.
Newscasters who want to keep their careers afloat learn the fine art of evasion. We should never accuse them of doing a poor and sloppy job of reporting. If anything, with great skill they skirt around the most important points of a story. With much finesse they say a lot about very little, serving up heaps of junk news filled with so many empty calories and so few nutrients. Thus do they avoid offending those who wield politico-economic power. It is enough to take your breath away.

The Wisdom of Experience
I spend a decent amount of time thinking of ways to express universal sentiments in a unique fashion. It's what I do for online dating profiles, it's why I enjoy being a dating coach, and it was definitely the impetus for me to write my latest book, "Why You're Still Single: Things Your Friends Would Tell You If You Promised Not To Get Mad".
Yet the longer I do this, the more it occurs to me that there are few unique situations, and even fewer definite answers. True wisdom comes in the form of synthesizing past experiences in order to prepare for the present. If you don't have past experiences in a particular realm, that's when it becomes useful to seek advice from those who do.
To wit, I received a really great email today from a client who had an experience with a man who has some personal and emotional problems. It's a shame, because my client liked him, was attracted to him, and was cautiously optimistic about their potential. But, unfortunately, this gentleman's "issues" will most definitely prevent any potential future between them.
Anyway, my client emailed me to ask for my take on things. She also gave me four bullet points about what she got out of her two-date experience with this man.
1. I started to like the emails and phone calls (you're right, if they don't call very often, they're probably not that interested.)
2. It was okay to tell him I liked him, thought he was cute, looked forward to seeing him again, etc.
3. Found that I can still be physically attracted to someone and don't need to settle for just companionship and no sparks.
4. It's okay to pick up the phone and call a guy if he likes me. Also okay to initiate plans for another date.
At the end of the email, she asked me for my "professional" take on this whole thing. Of course, I told her the truth – she'd already figured out my take on this whole thing, just by working with me for a few months. The only difference is that she finally had the experience for herself, which reinforced the theoretical stuff we'd discussed on the phone.
So what could I possibly say to this woman who already had it figured out? Simply this: "You've already done the best thing; gleaned the positive from it. Cute guys are rare. Cute smart guys, even rarer. Cute, smart guys with their heads on straight? That's the holy grail. Keep looking for it. You're doing great."
As I said in my last E-Cyrano newsletter, part of being a dating expert is making lots of mistakes and attempting to learn from them. It also means knowing when not to speak and when to acknowledge that someone's doing everything right. I'm thrilled when clients can put the pieces together, draw logical conclusions, and act accordingly, as this woman did.
We can probably all agree that dating ain't easy, but, with enough practice, I do think that we can all become "experts" on human behavior.

By a vote of 66-32, the Senate yesterday passed legislation reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The bill (HR 2) is similar to legislation that passed the House on January 14, by a vote of 289-139. SCHIP reauthorization bills were vetoed by former President Bush in 2007 and 2008. The bill now goes back to the House for one last vote before being sent to the White House, where President Obama is expected to sign it into law soon.
The Senate-passed version of HR 2:

Washington letter on the cover of the latest Raab Collection catalogue.
By Michael Stillman We just received Catalog 59 from The Raab Collection. It reads like a 200-year political history of America. Well, not entirely. Albert Einstein was not a politician; Napoleon not an American. However, most of the items offered come from major American political figures, most of whom served as president. They range from Washington to the first President Bush, and include the great, near-great, and failures. Many of these documents pertain to important events in American history, revealing the thinking of the nation's leaders on important subjects of the day. All items are signed, and most are filled with written (or typed) text. Here are a few samples of these often important and highly collectible documents. Item 1 is an amazing letter from George Washington which reveals the mind of the military strategist at work. It was written at Valley Forge on March 31, 1778. His dispirited troops had endured a long, bitter winter after having been chased by the British from Philadelphia the previous fall. They were outnumbered, poorly equipped, and definitely on the defensive. The cause appeared lost. While Washington fully appreciated the situation, and was not above getting dispirited himself on occasion, he here looks at the desperate situation and strategizes how to go on the offensive. He has heard that the already strong British military is sending reinforcements from New York to wipe him out. In writing to Major General Alexander McDougall, stationed north of New York, Washington says, "General Howe intends an early campaign; to take advantage of our weak state. What is to be done? We must either oppose our whole force to his, in this Quarter, or take the advantage of him in some other, which leads me to ask your opinion of the practicability of an attempt upon New York..." Figuring that even gathering all his troops at Valley Forge would not be sufficient to withstand a reinforced British assault, Washington considers attacking New York instead once the British have moved some of their troops from that city to Philadelphia. It was a clever idea to hit the British where they had let down their defenses. Ultimately, the attack on New York did not take place, as it turned out the British had transferred far fewer troops out of New York than he had initially been led to believe. Priced at $185,000. Item 14 provides some interesting insight to President Monroe's input at the time he signed the Missouri Compromise. This was a major piece of legislation as it staved off the split in the Union for three decades. Missouri wished to enter the Union as a slave state in 1820. However, this would upset the delicate balance between slave and free states. To balance Missouri, Maine was entered as a free state. However, to avoid problems in the future, a line along Missouri's boundary was extended west. Above this line, no new states could ever have slavery. Former President Thomas Jefferson opposed this compromise, fearing, not inaccurately, that it would divide America by region, setting off regional strife. This certainly did occur in the future, though it is hardly clear that it would not have happened anyway without the Missouri Compromise. Jefferson sent a letter to Maine Congressman Mark Hill explaining his opposition. Item 14 is a letter from Monroe to Hill acknowledging that he has read, and is now returning, Jefferson's letter to Hill. So we know that Monroe was familiar with Jefferson's opposition to the Compromise, but ultimately decided to support it anyway. The Missouri Compromise would be repealed three decades later in an attempt to keep the South in the Union, but the potential extension of slavery to territories where it previously was prohibited only increased anger in the North. $8,000.
Pick your poison: Hoover and Nixon.
John Tyler was one of the most unpopular of U.S. presidents. His lousy reputation has not improved with time. He was as bad as people of his day thought. Tyler was a compromise candidate added as vice-president to the Whig ticket headed by William Henry Harrison in 1840 to appeal to the South. What the Whigs did not expect was Harrison dying only one month into office, leaving Tyler to serve as Chief Executive for the remaining three years and eleven months. Tyler quickly came into conflict with Harrison's cabinet, which led to all but one member resigning en masse. There were an incredible 22 cabinet changes during his term in office. Item 18 is a letter from Tyler to his new Treasury Secretary J.C. Spencer in 1843. In it, Tyler gleefully talks about removing even lower level officials from their positions. Speaking of some low level appointee named Lowry Tyler writes, "...before the collector is removed Lowry should be appointed, then off with his head. Nor do I care if a like service be done to the Postmaster at Portland." $6,500. Here is a picture to cheer you up as the nation sinks deeper and deeper into recession. Item 34 is an 11 x 14 signed and inscribed photograph of President Herbert Hoover. See... things could be worse. $500. If a Hoover photograph isn't creepy enough for your tastes, how about one of Richard Nixon? A youthful looking Nixon (probably from his vice-presidential days) has inscribed and signed this 8 x 10 photograph. $1,000. This just touches the surface of what is available in this catalogue. There is the cover letter which accompanied the resignation of Andrew Johnson from the position of Military Governor of Tennessee to become Vice-President in 1865. Shortly, he too would become President. There is a wonderful letter from Henry Clay during the presidential campaign of 1844 attempting to explain that his talking out of both sides of his mouth and saying contradictory things in the North and South were not talking out of both sides of his mouth and contradicting himself. The Great Compromiser compromised himself out of the election. Jefferson Davis, still 15 years away from leading the South during its rebellion, defends his actions and those of Zachary Taylor during the Mexican War. Ronald Reagan refers to President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 as "that bum in the White House," and offers the opinion that his opponents might start "putting us [he and others of a like mind] in concentration camps."

As Australians commemorate ANZAC Day today, we remember those fallen in war from Australia and New Zealand, and think of those who lost their lives in Crete during WWII.
While we point out with alacrity that we do not glorify war, the mad and violent acts and the stories from the Battle of Crete weave together our lives in Australia and New Zealand with the life of Crete, still, to this day, the bonds forged out of hardship and loss remain strong.
Australians and Cretans share an independent character, a distinct lack of false respect for authority, skill at wordplay and story-telling (not to mention a love of hard liquor). These larrikin qualities meant that the soldiers who found themselves and their fate thrust together in the hard, rocky, cold mountains of Crete, developed a brotherhood of understanding.
In Crete, commemoration ceremonies will occur over a week in May; the ANZACs will be remembered with love and gratitude.

"The Mourtzanakis Residence is scheduled to expand by end of 2013 season by adding three more studios below three villas as well as doing a "face lift" so that it would become a beautique rural accomodation.
However, the quality would never change, on the contrary we are looking forward to improve our services and program as well, such as:
• Organizing Olive Trees Harvest end of 2013
• Attending the Local Shepherd's Cheese Making day
• Discover More Paths so that it would combine the Contemporary World with our Past
We are keen in re openning the old path of Achlada to Savvathiana Convent, Visiting the Medieval Olive Oil Press in Achlada Village, and commencing a tough trek to Fodele's Castle.
We are confident that despite the crisis, hard work and striving would let us prevail the current serious situation that our country is facing and many of our compatriots are suffering from.
Last but not least, we are always waiting for you and all are most welcome to our cozy and warm Residence.

The Innova Leopard is a fairway driver that is straight. It should be everyone's first driver as it is easy to throw straight and far and has excellent glide. The Leopard is a great turnover disc for players of all skill levels. More experienced players can use the Leopard for throwing distance-stretching "Hyzer Flip" shots. Especially as it ages, the Leopard makes a dependable long range roller.
It is a great choice for a straight line driver, an all around driver, anhyzer shots, rollers, beginner's first driver, and as a young disc golf player's first driver in lighter weights. Beginner friendly.
Speed 6, Glide 5, Turn -2, Fade 1
DX | Straight | 150 Class - 175 grams |
Pro | Straight | 165-175 |
Champion | Straight | 150 Class - 175 |
Star | Straight | 150 Class - 175 |
Echo Star | Straight | 165-175 |
"Of course the Leopard is in my hand for the left to right drives, but I'll also use it on the shorter, low-ceiling holes that are long enough to need the glide advantage of a driver. With a lighter delivery and softer grip, the leopard will take me straight to the bank." - Simon Lizotte
"This is my favorite disc ever made!!! I personally carry 3 of them in the bag. Perfect for Mid-Range shots that require low ceiling. I also carry a lighter DX version for rescue shots. The straightness of this disc allows you to throw confident shots in the woods. If you don't have one, you could be costing yourself strokes on the course." - Ken Franks

Sam Sifton Weighs in on the Times Cease and Desist Letter to Hapless Times Restaurant
The Times restaurant's name and somewhat familiar font may have incurred the wrath of the lawyers for the New York Times, but it has at least one unlikely ally in Sam Sifton. The Pakistani restaurant, which sits across the street from the Times building and was originally known as the Kashmir Cafe, received a cease and desist letter from the Times' lawyers, according to Midtown Lunch. So they're changing the name. But while its lawyers are obviously not amused, the paper's restaurant critic seems to be -- he's tweeted his support, though his choice of words suggests he won't be bestowing any stars upon the place anytime soon.

Elementary Mathematics
Tricia Rothenberg
Lead Curriculum Specialist for Elementary Mathematics
Secondary Mathematics
Janet Palermo
Lead Curriculum Specialist for Secondary Mathematics
Mathematics Mission StatementThe mission of the Round Rock ISD Mathematics Department is to provide the vision and leadership necessary to ensure a mathematics education of the highest quality for all students.
Goals of Mathematics in RRISDEducational goals for students must reflect the importance of mathematical literacy. Toward this end, the K-12 RRISD mathematics standards articulate five general goals for all students:
These goals imply that students should be exposed to numerous and varied interrelated experiences thatencourage them to value the mathematical enterprise, to develop mathematical habits of mind, and to understand and appreciate the role of mathematics in human affairs; that they should be encouraged to explore, to guess, and even to make and correct errors so that they gain confidence in their ability to solve complex problems; that they should read, write, and discuss mathematics; and that they should conjecture, test, and build arguments about a conjecture's validly.
The opportunity for ALL students to experience these components of mathematical learning is at the heart of our vision of a quality mathematics program.
Classrooms as mathematical learning communities
Mathematical tasks that engage students' interests and intellect
Logical and mathematical evidence as verification
Mathematical reasoning
Providing opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of the mathematics being studied and its applications
Promoting the investigation and growth of mathematical ideas through classroom discourse
Conjecturing, inventing, and problem solving
Using technology and other tools to pursue mathematical investigations
Connecting mathematics, its ideas, and its applications and helping students seek connections to previous and developing knowledge
Students working individually, in small groups, and as a whole class
Away from:
Collections of individuals under the control of an adult
Repetitive drill and practice
The teacher as the sole authority for right answers
Merely memorizing procedures
Trying to "cover" too many topics in too little time at a superficial level
Passive absorption of information by students as the teacher lectures
Stressing mechanistic answer-finding
Using only paper-and-pencil to do mathematics
Presenting mathematics as a body of isolated concepts and procedures
Students working individually at desks lined up in neat rows
Students will develop positive attitudes toward mathematics when they are taught mathematics in a supportive, enabling environment, when all students' mathematical learning embodies the notion that engagement in mathematics is essential and that decision-making, risk-taking, cooperative work, perseverance, and self-assessment are frequently keys to success.

Average Customer Review
Dependable, rugged...
By: Kodak S
Triple stitched seams, heavyweight cotton duck fabric, and pockets aplenty, they always come through for you when you need them to, and they'll last virtually forever. I have these brown ones and the black ones, and although they fade a little after the first dozen washes or so, they retain their color remarkably well for such dark colored work pants. When they're new, they look right at home in the office or out at a restaurant, and when they've accumulated the paint and stains of years of work on them, these work pants are still perfect for on-the-job wear. The fit is roomy and comfortable, and I would bet these Carhartt pants will last another several years before they need replacing. Wonderful, rugged pants perfect for any working person.
