Analysis: Ya'alon's priorities
By YAAKOV LAPPIN
Incoming defense minister opposed to strike on Iran, but stance could change in light of new intelligence.
Incoming Defense Minister Moshe "Bogie" Ya'alon has coveted the position he's about to step into for years. A former IDF chief of staff, Ya'alon is a veteran defense figure who served for nearly 40 years in the military, and should feel very much at home at his new bureau at the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv.
Ya'alon will have to deal with mammoth security issues that are facing Israel these days, though he may take a different approach to some of these challenges than his predecessor, Ehud Barak, did.
The new defense minister provided the public with a glimpse of his priorities on Sunday, when he used a Facebook post to list the defense issues he will soon be tackling.
First on the list was, naturally, the Iranian nuclear program, which threatens Israel, the Middle East, and global security as a whole. According to unconfirmed yet widespread reports, Ya'alon has, until now, been in the camp of those opposed to a military strike against Iran's nuclear program, preferring to let the US take the lead.
However, even if the reports are true, Ya'alon's stance could change in light of new intelligence or new developments.
Secondly, Ya'alon made reference to the Middle East instability that is washing over nearly all of Israel's neighbors. Under Ehud Barak's watch, the IDF has made good progress in shifting its focus towards emerging terror threats from Syria - home to an arsenal of chemical weapons - and the Sinai Peninsula, and Ya'alon will be seeking to continue the preparations.
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza are threats that cannot be separated from the regional instability. Hezbollah, armed with over 60,000 rockets and well trained guerrillas, remains the most formidable enemy in Israel's immediate area. The IDF has spent recent years intensively training itself for the next encounter with the Shi'ite terror group, which is currently attempting to target Israeli civilians overseas. Ya'alon will be briefed in full on these preparations.
The last defense issue mentioned by Ya'alon is the "Israeli - Palestinian issue," - a reference to the stalled diplomatic process vis-a-vis the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Ya'alon's position on this issue is well known - he holds that the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah is not a viable peace partner at this time.
Irrespectively, Ya'alon has repeatedly condemned acts of far-right "price tag" violence, comparing them to firing a bullet "at the leg of the state of the Israel and the head of settlements."
He will also need to contend, as he acknowledged on Sunday, with calls for a decrease to the defense budget in light of economic troubles and the need to safeguard basic state services like health, education, and social services.

The recent political campaign is a perfect example of why we should not open the Do Not Call program to allow pre-recorded messages into homes. Political parties already have the proposed exemption, and, as we had the distinction of being a so-called battleground state, both parties used that exemption to absolutely bombard us with unwanted pre-recorded messages, extolling the virtues of both Mr.Kerry and Mr.Bush. They were unwanted, annoying, and, worst of all, unstoppable. A preview of things to come ???? In the existing Do Not Call setup, penalties are possible for individual violations, by talking to the person calling you, getting their phone number, and reporting them. Questions ...How do you penalize a computer generated message sender?? For those families desiring telemarketing information, I believe an Opt-In plan would work well. Put the onus for pre-approval on them, and please let the majority of us who are enjoying the benefits of Do Not Call continue to enjoy the relative peace and quiet. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.

Waltham High School Student Arrested After Fight At School
Waltham Police sent four officers to the school to breakup the fight.
A Waltham High School student was arrested on Thursday, Feb. 7 after she was involved in a fight at the school, according to Waltham Police.
Yulymar Santiago, 17, of 26 Williams St., was arrested and charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct after four officers responded to a report of a fight between two girls at the high school, according to Waltham Police Sgt. Joseph Guigno.
At 11:42 a.m. Thursday, officers responded to the report of a fight and found two girls fighting in the cafeteria, Guigno said. Officers broke up the fight and arrested Santiago. The pair suffered minor scratches as a result of the fight, Guigno said.

Although we have no specific vacancy, here at Printhouse Corporation we're always on the look out for really top sales staff looking to join our fantastic team and help us build on our already excellent client portfolio.
Based in NW London, with easy access to Central London and key motorway routes, we house our main print works. Running day and night on our 2 B1 Heidelberg Speedmaster presses we offer production schedules and a quality that we think stack up against anyone. With the clients we have, and our retention levels of these clients being so high, we genuinely believe we must be doing something right. Couple this with the vast digital offering we make via our sister site as well as a comprehensive in-house design studio, we truly are a one stop shop for anything requiring ink on paper.
With our focus being on quality – that's in terms of the equipment we have, the products we deliver and, just as importantly, the service levels we give – then if you are of the mindset of "pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap" then you're not going to be right for us.

IRS to Post Updated List of Organizations That Lost Tax-Exempt Status
Today's Chronicle of Philanthropy is reporting that beginning in March, the Internal Revenue Service plans to start posting a more up-to-date list of organizations that have had their tax-exempt status automatically revoked for not filing proper paperwork.
In the past, the IRS has waited for six months after taking action to release the names of nonprofits that no longer hold charity status because they failed to file legally required documents for three consecutive years. Going forward, however, the tax agency will release names a month after a group has lost its exemption.
In announcing the change, the IRS said: "Because of this change, the number of organizations added to the list in March 2013 will appear higher than in other months because it includes a catch-up period of about seven months."
The Chronicle reports tax experts as saying that the change is good for potential donors who need to know if a group remains tax-exempt. Donors cannot claim a charitable deduction for any gifts made to an organization after the date the IRS announces the revocation of its tax-exempt status.

Imagine a place to sit and write about your experience in a prairie; the Big Bluestem and Shooting Star, Common Mountain Mint and Culver's Root, Asclepias tuberosa, known as Prairie Milkweed, which is the plant monarch butterflies need to lay their eggs. Imagine a place to sit and draw a monarch flitting about, searching for nectar or warming in the sun. Imagine identifying insects teeming in prairie plants. Imagine this place. A simple log and a sundial measuring the passage of time, all centered along a busy street with airplanes overhead and school bells ringing. Imagine a quiet respite as you experience the once great prairies that covered much of the midwestern United States.
I told you a little bit about the Churchville Middle School's Diversity and Prairie Gardens earlier this week when I spoke about our garden club's meeting. This morning, I had the opportunity to see it as part of a dedication/ribbon cutting ceremony at the school. It was rewarding to hear those involved, from the writing of the grant to its being awarded and the actual work that was done. I was impressed by the circle of supporters that included school and park district, forestry district, foundations, faculty, parents, our garden club and especially students involved in this project aimed at moving children "toward environmental citizenship".
The log above is part of the diversity garden, which is near the schoolyard prairie. It was provided by the park district and is one of several forming a circle providing places to sit. A sundial will be its centerpiece, its base constructed by industrial arts students. It was amazing as we all filtered from inside the school to the diversity garden, the skies heavy and threatening rain, the students walking with a purpose toward the logs where they promptly sat. It struck me that the students from Churchville have already claimed the space as theirs. Some of these youngsters have already moved toward environmental citizenship.
Illinois is known as the "prairie state", and for good reason. Before settlers to the area, there were some 22 million acres of native plants. Only 2,00o acres remain today. This little prairie is to me a living, moving, breathtaking outdoor museum and classroom. I was impressed to learn that more than 50 species are catalogued here, with many more not yet recorded. What a remarkable environment this already is for not only students here and now, but those to come.
Imagine. Nestled in a bustling area of traffic and noise and busyness, sits a little bit of Illinois prairie and a center for honoring our diverse populations. Adults who care and children who have an opportunity to learn and grow in a simple way surrounded by a complex world.

How can you make more time for yourself when you have a new baby?
1 Answer
Deciding whether to be a working or stay at home mom is a tough decision for many women. If your partner has a stable income, how would you decide if you should stay at home full time or head out into the work force?
A happy Mom means happy kids so if finances aren't an issue, do what YOU want to do. I tried working full-time when my son was a baby, and that resulted in me seeing him for 90 minutes a day and on weekends only. When I had my daughter I went back part-time nights and weekends, but I found myself constantly stressed and ignoring the kids on my days off as I was always trying to play catch-up with errands and house work. A health crisis forced me to quit my job and now I'm home full-time and I have to tell you I'm sooooo much happier. When I was working the kids were constantly worried and asking me who would take care of them while I was at work (and Daddy was working too), but they've admitted that they feel much better now that I'm at home all the time. I now have the luxury of time to put them in a few activities, they can have playdates, and they get more time for cuddles and stories at bedtime instead of me telling them to hurry up because I have things to do. Just my experience.
I'm a single mom so i dont have a choice but to work and even if i had a choice i'd still work. I hated being a stay at home mom. The kids are much happier going to daycare as they get to play with their friends and love their teachers. If i were with someone and could afford to live on one income i still wouldnt. I've been working since i was 14 and was never one to just sit around the house. Everyone has different opinions on it but thats mine and i dont enjoy staying home one bit
My situation, like so many, is unique. My dream was to be a copywriter and work in advertising. I finally made it and have been successful in it for 8+ years now. I also have a two-year-old son. We want more. This last year I was diagnosed with CIDP, a dehabilitating auto immune disease that causes paralysis/weakness in your legs, feet and hands. I've been able to continue working with rides from family and lots of other help, but the progress is slow. Getting to work and continuing to work has been exceptionally difficult and has made me ask why I am doing this and what am I getting out of it. The answer for me is a what I call our "2 year retirement plan". I want to be at home with our kids, while working freelance on the side. In 2 years we'll be financially ready and my husband will be making enough so I can do that. I feel strongly about my decision and know it's the best choice for my family and for me. I think that's the right answer - knowwing whatever you decide is best for you and your family. God bless us all for fighting the good fight - working outside the home or not.
i have 2 children, both age 3, they go to a play school 4 days a week for 4 hours. I work from home running a successful business. We still have all our afternoons together and my children genuinely love their play school. I agree that it is important for kids to have the influence and love of their parents, but I also think it is equally important for them to see their parents reaching for their dreams and becoming a success at what God has gifted them in - and not to grow up thinking that a woman's only purpose is to take care of the home and watch the children (note- i said "only", i do believe caring for the home and family are a great responsibility and ones to be proud of, but it is not our only capability and children need to see that exemplified in their parents). I also think going to a play school helps develop the child's social skills and independence, which both help tremendously with mental, emotional and physical development later in childhood. If a mom wants to stay at home, great! But I don't think, even a little bit, that a stay at home mom is necessary for a child to grow up well and know that he/she is loved and looked after well.
Amy - commented on Aug 23, 2011
I would also remember that some families work interesting schedules to make being home as much as possible a priority, while also maintaining full time work. My husband is a police officer, and we work opposite days and shifts most of the week, meaning our daughter only goes to childcare (in a loving home) two days a week. I work full time in higher education, and we are both developing our careers while building our family (baby 2 is on the way, and we have both recently received promotions). The trade-off for us is the difficulty of fitting in time alone as a couple. We have the benefit of a great babysitting coop, and we're also creative about after-bedtime, in home "dates." With flex time and new working models, I don't think the decision is work or not work for me and many of my colleagues; instead, the decision is how to be mom and professional in more creative ways.
Kate - commented on Aug 23, 2011
I love that last line Amy - "I don't think the decision is work or not work for me... instead, the decision is how to be mom and professional in more creative ways." brilliantly said!
I would decide depending on whether staying at home with the kids mentally stimulating enough for me. For some women, they have a strong idenitity with earning thier own money and being productive in the workforce. For other women it is not as important. Many experts advise us mothers to carve out "me" time and for some women that comes in the form of a job. Either way if mommy is happy then the family is happy.
I feel that you have to make that desicion for yourself and family. What works for one family doesn't mean it works for yours. I look at it this way, my husband and I have 3 kids, and we want to be able to porvide for them always, high school comes a car, college after that, and all the expenses that occur in this world. We also want to retire one day. I work right now for the future of them whether I am here to see it or not, I want them to be able and my husband and I to be able to povide these things to them. We have a good savings account, we are able to buy things needed, not stress over money when things occur so it works for us. Every person feels that whatever they 'do" is whats best, well that only applies to them. Do whats best for you, your feelings, your beliefs, dn't feel guilt b/c you see yours kids after work and on the weekends, so what, what really are you missing out on, who's to say they will take their first step on a Monday @ 10am, or on a saturday @ 11am? When they start kindergarten you will not be w/ them all day. Be able to contribute to your family and not have it all rely on your spouse. Time have changed now, things are more expensive and being able to contribute will mke you as a person feel good, if thats how you view it!!!!
I think it is personal thing. IF you can stay home and want to great! If you can't you can't. It depends on your own personal Family dynamic. What makes your family the happiest?
i dont choose to stay at home ,id rather be working
Mothering IS a FULL time job. When moms work, many important parts of childhood are relegated or left out. Who wants someone making minimum wage raising their children. What is truly in the child's /children's best interest?

You make it sound as if people who make minimum wage don't really care. That's a pretty harsh judgement As someone who worked for less than minimum wage to watch other people kids, I can state that, that's entirely untrue. I can speak for all sides, I used to work while my kids were being cared for by "minimum wage workers", I have watched kids for less than minimum wage, and I have been a stay at home mom for 15 out of the 21 years I've been a mom and it's about what works for YOU, not everyone else. Some people have perfectly stable households where both parents work, my husband's parents worked his whole life and he's a well adjusted person. His parents went to his football games, wrestling meets, his dad took him camping, hunting and hiking and each worked 40 hrs a week. His mom kissed his boo-boos and showed him how to respect women, while making extra money so that the family could take summer vacations to fun places. His sister is also completely "normal". It's not always about the amount of time you have with your kids. Look I'm all for staying at home if you can, I'm also all for going to work if you want, or if you need to as long as you make every other minute you have with your child a good one. And please realize that just because someone makes minimum wage, doesn't mean they are less than adequate.

I think it has already been said but why the heck can't a man be a stay at home parent?! Why is it just set in stone, always the way it has been ad infinitum that women must be the stay at home parent? I went off to work part time because I knew I wasn't up to staying home full time, just part time and part time work. My husband stays at home and does a very good job of parenting, I feel he is better than me to do the stay at home thing. That is no bad thing I am at least being honest in my own judgement and know my limits, our son is very happy too! We are all happy and getting along very well. There are other men who are stay at home parents also, who also do a good job. This should not be about gender, it should be about the best interests of everyone, especially the child, but you cannot forget yourselves either!
I believe if there are two children to be taken care of and your husband partner has a stable decent income you should stay home. Of course its a personal choice. I believe the kids need a stable environment to be growing in. As well as consistency.
It's nice to have part-time work so that you can maintain a sense of self but still have enough time for your kids. If they're in school, most part-time work opportunities would not even interfere with spending time with them and still allows you be there for them before and after school.
You can be a stay at home mom and earn money while you do it. I am a mom of 3 and this works for me.

If you are blessed to be able to stay home with your children, I would strongly suggest doing so. Not only will you enjoy watching them grow but you give them a foundation of what it's like to have security. I had the opportunity to give up a wonderful job, making great money to raise my child. He has not disappointed me and has exceeded what I would ever have imagined. If I was not home, it wouldn't have turned out as well. They are only little once...enjoy that time and take lots of pictures
Aside from getting a break from being around the house and getting satisfaction that comes from having a job, there are other benefits. The extra money is useful around the house, plus if something happened to Dad (God forbid), you would already have been used to working and contributing towards the family finances.
If the kids are in school, it might not a bad idea to work part-time, if you want to be sure that one of you is around when the kids are home. As they get older, you could look at working full-time.
If you're entrepreneurial, starting a business at home is something you could consider too.

I remember the two years I was at home with my daughter full-time. Although I loved taking care of her, doing household chores and watching daytime TV was not enough for me! I needed the stimulation of working outside the home. It was not about the money. I started working six months ago and I am happier and more fulfilled now. I think I am a better Mom and wife as a result. Of course the extra dosh is helpful and my daughter is in pre-school group now so it is all good!
If you just looking for something to do and you enjoy helping others, then this might help you decide what to do in your spare time. www.911gascard.com/truetither or www.911rxcard.com/truetither
For me this seems like an easy choice. I love my two kids and glad that I have a husband who is there for them and takes care of us, but I also like the little bit of time out of the house without kids. We both like to enjoy certain things in life that cost money like big tv's, computers and being able to eat out. My husband works full time and I work part time. And since having kids I'm not the kind of person who likes to go out and party all the time so for me working is something productive I can do while still getting me out of the house a few days a week.
Should? That's kind of a loaded word. Is it a social expectation, one way or the other? Is it a financial imperative, or a nicety? Is either answer a self-imposed requirement for perceived self-worth? Or is it the common wondering of a person just stepping into a new stage of life?
Only you know the answer.
Once you know, it will make your personal decision much clearer & easier.

As long as your actions make it clear to your family that they are loved & important, you will do well in any role you choose.
I decide to go back to work with my first child was 7months, and this was a benefit to both of us he went to a nursery where I got on well with the staff I could talk to them about any problems or issues arose. He was 18months when his brother arrived he began to get a bit out of control so at 3months I put his brother into nursery a half day a week to start, by the time he was nine months they were in 2days a week and I was working part time. The social and support benefits I got from this was excelant. Think about your needs as well as the childs! But I definately think the increase in confidance and social ability helps them develop.
My hope is that you would like to become one of the growing number of women who are being mentored to make a residual income via the Internet. This will allow you to stay at home, raise your child, and still build yourself financial freedom.
If you start work in a traditional business you will be trading a unit of time for a unit of money. It is my belief, you and every other working mom is a much more valuable asset to themselves, and others by having the luxury of time to personally raise their children.
I have a Great Opportunity for Independent, Self-motivated Team Players! You can earn immediate cash today while building residual income for retirement tomorrow! Our sensational Video Emailing concept is taking the Internet by storm. By sharing it with others, you can stop trading time for dollars and get on the Path to Prosperity and Time Freedom.
If you are truly a serious, motivated person, I invite your inquiry.
I was a working mom, when I had my first and all I wanted to do was be a stay at home mom with her. Then I became a stay at home mom. I enjoyed it very much. Then I be came a part time worker, not bad and it was my happy medium. With my husband still in the military I had a hard time keep a job where my boss could work with me on hours so I could work while my husband was home with the kids. So now I own my business and work from home. Taking orders as I have time to. With my family coming first.

Adriana, can I ask what sort of business are you in? I am looking for the possibilities of owning business through Internet, is that what you are doing at the moment? For me, I think the best way to take care of my children is able to work from home while looking after them at home...
Adriana - commented on Nov 3, 2012
Janice, I am a crafty person by nature. I always made things for my kids instead of buying them if I could. Friends and family would see what I had and things went from there.It was always cheaper for me to make gift for people. So I turned a hobby into a business after having many friends push me in that direction. Most of my goods are sew, but I do get a few orders for crochet items and hand drawn art work. If business is slow I go to craft fairs, but usually I have a waiting list.

We're all watching our budget line extra close these days to stay ahead in our business, but are you making the best decisions for the long run? When you first built your site you had to make all the decisions. You had to decide who will create it for you, do you want to update it yourself, use a content management system or keep the web developer in the loop. What extras did you want such as a shopping cart, data bases, blog and the list goes on depending on your individual needs.
One of the biggest mistakes clients can make is they get a great web site, but then they let it sit and never update it. There are plenty of reasons why this happens, but a big one is the cost factor. The problem with this is when you let it slide too long; you get to a point, where it becomes better to just start over again. This is a much larger cost than just updating it here and there to stay current. When you fall into this pattern, you end up losing your largest initial investment every several years when a complete redesign is in order instead of putting forth the smaller effort and costs to make small updates along the way.
If you haven't updated your web site recently, CALL YOUR DESIGNER RIGHT AWAY! Not sure if you qualify for a tune-up? Follow these guidelines.
Make sure your web site:
1. Has regular text changes on it to keep it fresh for search engine optimization. The more frequent the better. It's even possible to implement code that automatically changes it on a daily basis.
2. Has updated content, be it graphic or text, which reflects your company, which is also continually changing. (This could be new staff photos, new specials going on, etc.)
3. Is keeping up with technology and uses the best interface possible for your needs. For instance, does the navigation still make sense and is it easy for people to find what they need.
If you don't know how your site is holding up in comparison to these suggestions, that's ok. Your web designer can help you answer them. The important thing is to at least ask these questions so you keep the momentum of your new site moving.
You want to take ownership of your site, and be aware that it's most advantageous to keep it fresh. Just like you wouldn't dream of buying a new car and skipping the regular oil changes to maintain it, make it your goal to treat your web site investment with the same care.
