Preface to Seth Godin's Tribes: Urban tribes and digital tribes, two simultaneous phenomena (part 2)
July 18th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Entrepreneurs, Talents, Innovators
For part 1: Tribes are more than a trendy phenomenon
Urban tribes and digital tribes, two simultaneous phenomena… Godin rightfully reminds us that the creation of a tribe, and its goals, are independent from technology. Tribes didn't appear yesterday and did not wait for the Internet era. Many of the examples of tribes selected by Godin can exist [...]

About Mark
Wedding Photography
Friends and family would say that if you sliced Mark in half he would have photographer written through him like a stick of rock. Since he first picked up a camera aged 8 it's been a life long love of his. He was lucky enough to grow up in Cornwall and would spend his weekends photographing the landscapes & people of his home county. It also meant that he was close to the prestigious Falmouth College of Arts where he achieved a BA Hons in Photography in 1999.
After graduating from Falmouth he moved 'up country' and worked within the influential family portrait brand
in one of their flagship studios in the picturesque market town of Marlow where he was Style Director. After leaving
he was approached to assist in the set up of the next generation of portrait studios
which was in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. Never one to turn down an opportunity Mark took to this task with great gusto whilst also launching Lord & Leverett as the ones to watch in the field of wedding photography. Lord & Leverett broke the mould of traditional wedding photography and offered a new and innovative approach producing natural and exciting images of the big day. Mark was thrilled when this approach afforded him the exalted award of Wedding Photographer of the Year for the UK 2005 amongst many others.
All good things must come to an end and it is with great sadness but some excitement for the future that Mark will be going solo again and looks forward to continuing his passion for photography. Mark is now available to photograph your wedding, your family, your business portraits and even your dog!

Florida, home to some of the largest school districts in the country, is often at the leading edge of K-12 foodservice innovation because of the sheer number of students each district serves.
Combine that with the state's growing population and its increasing diversity, add the social pathologies that accompany poverty in a slow economy and you have a stew of significant challenges, including challenges for school feeding programs.
Prominent districts like Orange County (Orlando) and Hillsborough County (Tampa-St. Pete) have received a fair share of well-deserved press for their innovation, but there's a lot going on elsewhere in the Sunshine State in terms of using technology to improve service and operations, and investment in customer-friendly infrastructure.
For example, this fall, Miami-Dade County Public Schools will deploy vending machines in its 45 high schools that will offer not only reimbursable meals, but ones designed by local celebrity chefs that incorporate products from local farmers. It is a system that has already been in use in 20 states, including Florida, for over three years. In Pinellas County (FL) School District, the machines produced a 25-percent increase in lunch sales, says FSD Art Dunham, who is planning to add even more.
The rollout to all 99,000 high schoolers in the Miami-Dade system follows a successful five-month pilot this past spring at 26 high school sites. In the five month period of the trial, 55,000 meals were purchased from the machines.
Meanwhile, Pinellas County is poised to become the first district in the country to deploy a new palm scanning technology that promises to speed up lunch lines, improve POS accuracy and eliminate some of the technical flaws that plague other biometric approaches, such as finger scanners.
The palm scanners use an infrared beam to read the unique pattern of a student's palm to verify identity and initiate payment either from a cash account or from federal reimbursement. The advantage of the approach is that, by avoiding physical contact (the student's palm doesn't touch the scanner, only hovers near it), it eliminates the contamination from dirt and skin oils that plague technologies requiring physical contact. That also makes it more sanitary and avoids the "fingerprinting" stigma attached to biometric finger scanners.
It is also reportedly highly accurate. Pinellas spent $234,000 to purchase 200 scanners and the necessary software for its 20 middle schools and 17 high schools and will add about a hundred more in September for 38 Universal Breakfast qualified elementary schools with free/reduced populations exceeding 80%.
Other Florida districts are spending on more traditional investments that are also designed to attract more participation. Atlantic High School in Delray Beach just opened a high-impact "mall food court" style cafeteria replete with five commercial-style stations specially designed to attract teenagers. The self-branded concepts include Atlantic Gourmet Deli, Asian Xperience, Café Sol y Mar, Mangia Mangia and Beyond Burgers.
The stations have boosted the number of reimbursable lunch options available on a typical day from three to 23 and opened all stations to free/reduced status students (Atlantic High has a 56% free/reduced population among its 2,200 student enrollment). The $450,000 cost of the renovation included $165,000 for new equipment.
The menus at each of the stations are fixed, just as with mall food court restaurants, but each also offers an a la carte "house special" each day for variety. Each also has a vegetarian option and an entrée salad option, plus sides like fresh fruit, fruit or salad cups and hot vegetables.
"The house specials allow us to test new products and recipes," explains Heidi Schwab, support manager for Palm Beach County Schools Food Service. "If they prove popular, we can modify them so that they qualify for reimbursement and add them to the menu in the future."
Miami-Dade's Expanded Vending Option
The advantages of a vending option include speed and convenience that encourages more participation (the schools will also retain their traditional cafeteria serving lines), more efficient use of labor and the leveraging of technology that students are already very comfortable with.
The machines, provided by Star Food Healthy Express, incorporate technology that not only makes qualifying students eligible for federally subsidized meals quick and easy, but ensures strict food safety through a temperature memory log that makes 144 checks each day (once every 10 minutes) to ensure the food stays fresh and up to HACCP standards. Any power interruption or any rise in temperature past 40°F automatically shuts the unit off. It also maintains a strict FIFO rotation of product.
Multi-component reimbursable meals are vended in 20 seconds after a student logs in his or her student ID number and birth date (to comply with the federal requirement for two forms of identification). The system integrates with the school's POS and accounting systems to assure qualification for reimbursement.
The selections themselves are designed to be not only nutritious and fresh, but appealing through the machine's viewing windows. There are six options, including salads, wraps, turkey sliders and yogurt/fruit parfaits (the favorite during the trial period). The machines can serve not just lunches but breakfasts and after-school snacks as well.
The selections were designed by a group of high-powered commercial chefs who agreed to participate in the program as a way to help the community and forward the progress of First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative to curb childhood obesity and encourage more healthful eating habits among the nation's youngsters. They were assisted by input from local farmers in the Farm to School Program and by representatives of Star Foods, who had experience with technical details like size and packaging options.
Among the products of the collaboration between the chefs and the school system's nutritionists (to ensure that the meals qualified for federal reimbursement) were…
• The Montego Bay Wrap, designed by Chef Michelle Bernstein (Michy's, SRA Martinez),
• Asian chicken Salad Lettuce Wrap, designed by Chef Frank Jeannetti (Essensia)
• Rosemary Chicken Salad, designed by Chef Michael Schwartz (Michael's Genuine Food & Drink)
The program promises to help control labor costs (though the pilot showed that staff actually had to be added to keep up with the increased volume) by reducing the cost of labor per meal. By eliminating the need for line servers, POS workers and the need to handle cash (the machines are strictly cashless), labor can be allocated to prep that is offset by the increased number of meals sold.
Each machine costs an average of $15,000, including the cost of wiring, software and installation (the machines are standard units that have been modified with the keypad and temperature memory system technology). Each unit holds 96 meals at a time and the district estimates that the machine generates $245 a day if that full allotment is sold, or around $88,000 annually. The machines can also be restocked during the day, especially in larger schools with multiple lunch periods. That, it says would be sufficient to pay off the unit in a single year even after accounting for food, labor and overhead costs.
The machines are stocked each morning from food produced onsite.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from an organization called Communities Putting Prevention to Work (which in turn is funded by the Centers for Disease Control through the Miami-Dade Dept. of Health). Another grant, from the Florida Dairy Council, will allow Miami-Dade to put 10 more machines, nine in middle schools and one in an elementary school.
"This is a great use of equipment dollars, there is less waste, a higher utilization of staff on meal preparation and it is a great option for the kids," says Penny Parham, administrative director of Miami-Dade Dept. of Food & Nutrition. "And, it has the cool factor."
A Hand-y POS Solution at Pinellas
Pinellas County is outfitting all of its middle and high schools with the palm scanners following a successful pilot of the technology last spring at one of the high schools, where checkout times were cut by more than half, from an average of 15 minutes to around seven minutes, says Foodservice Director Art Dunham. "Those number are holding up in the early going with the full deployment of the scanners," Dunham offers.
Dunham says he saw the technology at a conference a couple years ago and "knew it was something that would work well for us." He notes that palm scanning is fairly routine in several other countries like Brazil and Japan, where it is used to verify a the identities of ATM users.
The technology is expected to help increase participation by reducing lines, and also by its "coolness factor," which has prompted students to buy lunch just to experience the palm scan at checkout. "We hope that after getting lunch just to get scanned, they will also see how fast and easy it is to get through the line, so they will be encouraged to come back," Dunham says.
Using the hand scanner mode of checkout is completely voluntary, Dunham emphasizes. Student who are not comfortable with the technology can still opt for entering an ID number to debit their lunch accounts (or verify free/reduced status). But only a few have gone this route.
"Most students are very comfortable with it and love it," Dunham notes. "This is a generation that is comfortable with technology anyway, it's like second nature to them."
Choices Multiply With "Mall-Like" Food Court
Palm Beach Café at Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach used to have one lunch line for reimbursable meals with three daily choices, and four other lines that offered some reimbursable options but mostly a la carte choices. The new, remodeled cafeteria now has reimbursable meal choices at all five stations, a total of 23 fully qualified meal options each day, plus the daily "house special" at each.
The menus for the stations are all new and were taste-tested with students before being finalized. In the early going, the Asian station (Asian Xperience) has been most popular, says Schwab. The menu there includes Teriyaki Chicken and General Tso's Chicken, each available with either rice or lo mein noodles, plus a "Build Your Own Vegetarian Platter" option.
At the Mexican themed Café Sol y Mar station, entrée choices include Seasoned Beef Gordita, Chicken Fajita and the meatless Black Bean Burger: Mangia Mangia, the Italian station, offers Lasagna (vegetarian), Pasta With Meat Sauce and a Chicken Parmesan Sub Sandwich; and Atlantic Gourmet Deli has a series of wraps that include standards (Turkey & Provolone, Chicken Caesar, etc.) as well as Grilled Vegetable & Cheese and PB&J with Cheese Stick, both vegetarian.
The last station is Beyond Burgers, where two serving windows—one facing an outdoor courtyard—proffer Beef Sliders and Veggie Burgers as well as Hot Ham & Cheese, Grilled Chicken and Spicy Chicken sandwiches.
Labor was not increased, just reassigned, says Schwab. Cafeteria workers now spend more time out in front of customers manning the stations.
As for the customers, "they are very excited about the new cafeteria," Schwab says. Participation on the first day of school was over 1,000, up about 250 from the typical day last year. In the subsequent days, it receded a little but was still averaging up to 150 more students a day than in 2010-11.

Good Thursday morning, everyone.
And what a potentially historic Thursday it is. As I'm writing this, we're hearing news that Moammar Ghadhafi, the former Libyan dictator, has either been captured or killed. (I'm a bit of a history/news/political junkie on the side, so I'm awed by the news as I wake up. I'm sure not everyone is).
Anyway, back to football; the thing that's really important here on the Chopping Block.
This is a pretty busy, and potentially controversial, morning of links on both the Florida State and Maryland sides. It is more busy than controversial for FSU, where we have a few links of our own about a couple of key players on our Seminoles page. Chris Thompson, the team's starting tailback who was injured two weeks ago at Wake Forest, spoke for the first time to reporters since learning that his year was over. It turns out the strong-willed young man he has one strong-willed member of coach Jimbo Fisher's family to thank for potentially easing the pain of knowing that he's only played, as he put it, "about two months out of the past 12."
Doctors also believe he has had a fractured vertebrae before, coincidentally when he was in a car accident with current FSU teammate and then-high school teammate Jacobbi McDaniel. What makes that fact even more difficult to grasp the mind around is the fact that McDaniel, too, is now out for the season after dislocating his ankle last week at Duke. Touching story with a twinge of heartbreak. Definitely check it out.
Also, we have a story on kicker Dustin Hopkins' consistency, and why Fisher is proud of the work that he has put in this season.
OK, now to Maryland.
The Terrapins only had one major story that came out of the major newspapers that cover the team, and it's the kind of news that coach Randy Edsall can't be too happy to talk about. But, the questions they ask are valid, and will have to be answered one day.
Writers at both the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post pondered whether or not Danny O'Brien, the Terrapins' now benched quarterback should transfer by season's end, or if he should bother trying to fight for the right to be the team's quarterback next season.
In 2010, the sophomore was deemed the star of the future for the Terps after leading the team to a 9-4 record as a freshman last year. He even earned the ACC's Rookie of the Year award.
But his head coach from the year, Ralph Freigden, was fired, and Edsall was hired. Edsall went with O'Brien until it became clear that no matter how well he was playing, something just simply wasn't working. The Terps were 2-2 and headed toward 2-3 as they were down early to Georgia Tech with no offense being generated. So out he came, and in C.J. Brown, his backup went.
Brown started last week at Clemson and led the Terps to a 45-point showing. But that wasn't enough, as the Tigers won by 11. Brown will be starting at FSU on Saturday.
So, what should Danny O'Brien do? It may be fairly early to ask that question, but at some point it will need to be answered.
In lighter Terps news, Edsall tweeted out pictures of the uniform Maryland will wear Saturday …

September 1999
Reference No. 199940062
Executive Summary
This follow-up review relates to the important area of revenue protection and addresses the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) efforts to detect and deter electronic return preparer fraud. The Criminal Investigation (CI) function implemented the Return Preparer Program (RPP) in 1996 to protect revenue by identifying, investigating, and prosecuting abusive return preparers (including both electronic and paper returns).
Our overall objective was to assess whether the IRS effectively implemented corrective actions contained in a 1994 IRS Inspection Service (now Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration) Audit Report on Electronic Return Preparer Fraud (Reference Number 045601). As a result of the prior review, the CI function established a multi-functional national RPP to address preparer fraud. The Office of Electronic Tax Administration (ETA) established procedures to remove dishonest electronic return preparers and to perform visitations on suspicious preparers to ensure compliance with electronic filing (e-file) procedures. ETA also strengthened admittance standards to reduce the number of abusive preparers in the e-file program. Additionally, the IRS established procedures to ensure that unscrupulous preparers are referred to the Examination function for penalty assessment or prohibition from participation in the e-file program.
However, CI can improve the effectiveness of the RPP by increasing emphasis and oversight. Additionally, ETA can improve controls over the removal of dishonest e-file preparers by separating duties performed by district ETA coordinators.
IRS management generally implemented corrective actions addressing the recommendations made in the prior review noted above. However, the effectiveness of electronic return preparer activities can be improved. Specifically:
The Internal Revenue Service Can Provide Increased Emphasis and Oversight to Return Preparer Activities
Additional resources are needed to better address return preparer schemes. Service Center Criminal Investigation Branches (CIB) did not always have full-time resources devoted to identifying return preparer schemes, and CI field personnel did not always consider the RPP as a priority or mandated program. Additionally, there was no document that established overall authority and functional responsibility for this program. Although CI was responsible for leading the multi-functional RPP, no national analyst was dedicated to coordinate RPP activities for most of calendar year 1998.
The Internal Revenue Service Can Improve the Control Over the Removal of Dishonest Electronic Return Preparers
The ETA function established procedures for removing dishonest return preparers from the e-file program. However, this process can be improved by separating the duties that the district ETA coordinators perform. These officials are responsible for promoting e-file and removing noncompliant electronic preparers. These are key duties that involve conflicting goals.
Summary of Recommendations
To address the issues identified in this report, we recommended that the IRS provide adequate resources for RPP activities, develop procedures establishing CI as the lead office for the RPP, and that CI assign a full-time analyst to coordinate the RPP. In addition, we recommended that the IRS assign responsibility for the removal of noncompliant return preparers to someone other than the district ETA coordinator.
Management's Response: IRS management agreed with our recommendations and, beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2000, will provide increased resources to RPP activities. Additionally, a Servicewide Return Preparer Strategy is planned for implementation in FY 2000 focusing on return preparers who prepare Earned Income Tax Credit returns. As part of this strategy, a memorandum of understanding is being developed to clearly define CI as being responsible for the fraud aspect of the strategy. Future efforts will address additional areas of abuse as identified.
ETA will coordinate with Examination to assume responsibility for monitoring and removal of noncompliant electronic return originators. As a result, the duties of the ETA coordinators will no longer include compliance-type activities.
Management's complete response to the draft report is included as Appendix IV.

The Medicines Company (MDCO - Analyst Report) reported third-quarter earnings of 12 cents per share, including the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Third-quarter earnings were well below the year-ago earnings of 40 cents and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 19 cents.
Despite an increase in revenues, higher expenses led to the decline in earnings. Revenues, up 14.2% at $120.8 million, were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Reported third quarter 2011 EPS increased to $1.34 from 40 cents in the year ago quarter.
The Quarter in Detail
Angiomax US sales increased 11% to $111.1 million during the third quarter. Ex-US sales increased 67% to $9.2 million. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the UK announced that Angiox (ex-US trade name of Angiomax) is economically dominant (less costly and more effective than currently available therapies) for heart attack patients. This should help increase Angiox' share in the UK market.
Moreover, Angiox ("Angiomax" trade name in Europe) has a Class I recommendation from the European Society of Cardiology for heart attack patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Angiomax, acquired from Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB - Analyst Report), is the lead product at The Medicines Company. Acquired in 1996, Angiomax is used as an anticoagulant in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.
The Medicines Company launched two new products/formulations in the third quarter - the company launched a ready-to-use formulation of Agatroban as well as a new formulation of Cleviprex (clevidipine).
R&D spend increased 59.2% to $26.6 million. SG&A expenses increased 26.7% to $45.4 million. The company expects R&D spend to be about 20% of revenues in 2011.
Backs Guidance
The Medicines Company maintained its guidance for 2011. The company expects revenues to grow 6-9% in 2011.
Pipeline Update
The Medicines Company also provided an update on its pipeline candidates. Results from the BRIDGE study being conducted with Cangrelor should be out in early November.
The Medicines Company also expects to present data on Angiomax from the BRAVO program which is evaluating the use of Angiomax in structural heart disease.
Meanwhile, oritavancin is in a phase III program, SOLO, for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSI).
The Medicines Company's early-stage candidates include MDCO-216 and MDCO-2010. The company acquired worldwide rights to MDCO-216 from Pfizer (PFE - Analyst Report).
MDCO-216 is a naturally occurring variant of a protein that could be used to reverse the development of arterial plaque development and reduce the risk of heart problems in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). If developed successfully, MDCO-216 should fit well within The Medicines Company's product portfolio.
MDCO-2010, which became a part of The Medicines Company's portfolio through its acquisition of Curacyte, is a small molecule serine protease inhibitor. The company presented data on the candidate from a study which evaluated its efficacy in preventing blood loss in cardiac surgery patients. Results showed clear cut reductions in bleeding. The company expects to commence a phase IIb study with MDCO-2010 in the US in 2012.
Neutral on The Medicines Company
The Medicines Company received a major boost in 2010 regarding its Angiomax patent extension case. We were also pleased to hear about the company's settlement of its patent infringement lawsuits against Teva (TEVA - Analyst Report) and its affiliate, Pliva Hrvatska. The companies were looking to gain approval for generic versions of Angiomax. The settlement agreement has removed a major overhang from the shares.

Visit the BDO Hockey World Cup website
England finished fifth and completed a highly productive tournament in a day reserved for playoff and classification matches to determine the lower placings at the BDO Hockey World Cup in Monchengladbach.
It is the highest placing for England since a similar result at the 1990 World Cup in Lahore and came thanks to a pair of late goals in their classification matches over the past two days.
As they had done yesterday against New Zealand, England persevered when extra time loomed and were rewarded for their outstanding effort with the winner against Pakistan with three minutes remaining.
In the other playoff match completed today, the Netherlands ended a disappointing World Cup in seventh position after easily disposing of the New Zealand challenge.
The Dutch created a huge number of scoring chances but some great goalkeeping, desperate defence and the left and right post denied them from taking the lead until late in the first half.
More goals followed in the second 35 minutes as the Netherlands remained in control and limited New Zealand's options in attack.
In the classification matches to decide positions 9-12, Japan and Argentina were victorious to ensure they will certainly avoid last place.
The pair will clash in the ninth place playoff tomorrow, with South Africa and India to meet in the match to decide the bottom two places.
In the first match of day 10, Japan exploited South Africa defensive problems and recorded a three-goal victory to provide an opportunity to finish in ninth position.
Japan were always in control of the scoreboard and were never seriously challenged after opening a two-goal lead midway through the first half.
In a dull encounter, Argentina then edged India by a single goal, with the match notable for the 150th goal of the tournament which was scored by Arjun Halappa.
After falling behind to Halappa's goal after just three minutes, Argentina's reply did not arrive until after half time when they found some scoring form.
After neither team could gain the upper hand, Matias Vila scored the winning goal from a penalty corner with eight minutes to go.
If India fall to South Africa tomorrow, it will equal their lowest ever finish at a World Cup. Their other 12th placing came in London in 1986.
All attention turns to the 2006 BDO Hockey World Cup Final which will be played between Australia and Germany at 15:00 local time tomorrow.

Traditionally, the Jewish community commemorates the Sabbath before the holiday of Purim with a special reading that begins with the word zachor — "remember." The passage reads, "Remember what Amalek did to you on your journey after you left Egypt — how undeterred by fear of God, he surprised you on the march, when you were famished and weary and cut down all the stragglers in your rear" (Deuteronomy 25:17-18).
It is especially fitting that Shabbat Zachor falls during the month of February, which the Jewish community has designated as Jewish Disability Awareness Month. The Hebrew word in Deuteronomy that we translate as "stragglers" — ha-necheshalim — appears only once in the entirety of the Bible. To explain its meaning, the medieval commentator Ibn Ezra suggests that its Hebrew root may have a meaning similar to a more common Hebrew root that means "to be weak." As such, he took ha-necheshalim to mean "those who did not have power to walk." Similarly, Rashi understands it to mean "those who lack strength," though he adds that this is "on account of their sin."
Who were "the stragglers in your rear"? They were the slow, the weak, the enfeebled — the invalids. Perhaps in ancient times, these people were, in fact, considered invalid human beings, and so the Israelites abandoned them, leaving the stragglers on their own to struggle at the rear of the Exodus.
Though today we do not connect disability with sin, the invalidation of people with disabilities remains a modern bias. Where are the "stragglers" today? Unfortunately, our society — including many Jewish communities — continues to leave them behind.
As recently as May 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that 41.2 million Americans have some sort of a disability — that's some 15% of the population. While there are no firm statistics on the percentage of Jews with disabilities, there's no reason to believe that the proportion is very different for our community. Within our midst exist Jews who are hearing- and vision-impaired, Jews with intellectual disabilities, Jews with cognitive or psychological disabilities — Jews who need more than ramps and designated parking spaces to meet their needs.
Rabbis and synagogue presidents often tell me that they don't have congregants with disabilities who require special accommodations. And in one troubling way, they may be correct — these Jews are often not present within our synagogues because they perceive they are not wanted there. How many of our synagogues have sign-language interpreters or Braille prayer books? How many offer service programs or congregational bulletins in large print? Only a select few synagogues provide religious school classes designed for children with special needs; even fewer have such classes for adults. Fewer still offer any programs, trips or religious services at all designed to include people with all types of disabilities.
Civil rights begin at home — in our synagogues and in our communal institutions. We must make conscious efforts to break down the physical, communicative and attitudinal barriers that separate individuals with disabilities from our community. It is time to come together to help our congregants, indeed all Americans, recognize that people with disabilities are people first — people with unlimited potential, not to be defined by their disabilities.
Hasidic master the Yehudi HaKadosh said, "Good intentions alone not accompanied by action are without value. The main thing is the action, as this is what makes the intention so profound." This February, the second annual Jewish Disability Awareness Month, let the Jewish community come together to begin a fully committed and educated process of welcoming Jews with disabilities.
Rabbi Lynne Landsberg is the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism's senior adviser on disability issues and chair of the Committee on Disability Awareness and Inclusion of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.
The Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, the Forward requires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles. Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not. While we generally do not seek to edit or actively moderate comments, the Forward reserves the right to remove comments for any reason.
It is always inspirational to read the words of Rabbi Landsberg. Her words always reach your heart.
As a person with multiple disabilities and an expert on disability issues, I can attest to the difficulty of obtaining appropriate accommodations within the Jewish community. Some of the newer buildings are accessible physically, but that doesn't necessarily equate to people being emotionally ready to interact with disabled congregants. The attitude of "not in my shul" is quite prevalent and difficult to dislodge. What helps the most is the presence of someone with disabilities among the Temple executives. That's when progress is evident and quick!
Kol HaKavod to Rabbi Landsberg for reminding us that ramps alone are not enough! We are all of us "one bad day away" from being Jews with disabilities; each Jew with a disability is more like than unlike any other Jew.
Rabbi Ruth Adar http://JewishExperienceOnline.com
Thank you Rabbi Landsberg!!! I'm a Jew with a disibility. Everyone should walk in our shoes for a day!
Once again Rabbi Landsberg calls us to be a more inclusive community and reminds us that diversity is a blessing and enriches us all. Thanks Lynne, you continue to inspire and push us to be better. have a great Purim!
Thankyou so much for writing this artical.It is so importyant.Being disabled myself and having a disabled husband yhis means so much to me.Luckily we belong to a congreagation that has a wonderful rabbi and a wonderful social action commity that make points to have people of all disabilities included.Hope that all congregations will do the same.
I apologize for the typos in my previous email .I guess I just caught up in how important an issue this is to me. thanks
Rabbi Landsberg, My deafness is caused by a recessive gene due to my being of Eastern European Jewry. "No Jew Should Be Left Behind" is inspiring me a lot. Just tell you that I admire and still thanks Hope Bard who was Director of Kesher program which involves Jews with Disabilities in Jewish Life. It is very "disability friendly" and accessible (sign language interpreter, Braille, hearing aids, ramps for wheel chaired Jews, etc.) Hello Susan Talve, Long time No hear No talk How have you been doing so far? I still think of you and Jim and how both of you are doing occasionally. Happy Purim to everyone and Shalom
Thank you Rabbi Landsberg for writing about this pivotal issue once again. I have a visual disability and inclusion of Jews with disabilities into Jewish communities is incredibly important to me as well. As a minor aside, I deeply appreciated your mention of Braille siddurim! For those of us who cannot use large print, the presence of a Braille siddur in shul is one way a synagogue can demonstrate its desire to include Jews with visual impairments in Jewish life. Jews with disabilities have tremendous potential and their talents have largely remained untapped. This has got to change! I couldn't agree more with Rabbi Landsberg's assertion that one can make one's congregation a physically accessible place but the hardest barriers to break are communicative, social and attitudedal. Too few Jews with disabilities are seen in synagogues and other Jewish institutions for just this reason. Kol HaKavod and keep up the tremendous and necessary work! l'shalom.
Thanks for sharing this important article with me and letting me be a part of your life.
It is important that you continue to let everyone know that there is no end to injustice and that we continue to have a duty to model proper behavior...no matter how difficult our own trials have become.
To my Italian grandmother, the teaching of Yehudi HaKadosh went like this: Handsome is as handsome does.
And you remain one of the most beautiful people I know.

Our renewable energy portfolio includes geothermal, which taps into heat beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity. We think this area has an important role to play in North America's shift toward a greener energy production mix.
In mid 2010, Enbridge invested in the 35-MW Neal Hot Springs geothermal project in eastern Oregon (net production amount is 23 MW). The project is being developed by U.S. Geothermal Inc., which will also construct and operate the facility. The project will involve injecting water below the surface, pushing hot water from the earth up through a production well, and converting it into steam through a turbine to generate electricity. The water will then be re-injected back into the ground.
When commercial operation begins in late 2012, Neil Hot Springs will deliver electricity to the Idaho Power grid under a 25-year power purchase agreement. The annual yield for the project will be about 191,000 megawatt-hours — enough to power about 17,500 homes.
Our Geothermal Investment - Key Facts:
Canada's largest gas distribution company. Serving 1.9 million customers in Ontario, Quebec and New York State.
Enbridge's U.S. operations - a leader in energy transportation in the Midwest, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions of the United States.
A U.S. master limited partnership with oil and gas delivery assets.
Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. (EIFH) is a publicly-traded Canadian Corporation that invests in low-risk energy infrastructure assets.

Tranquil, Peaceful Hideaway. I met with Joanna yesterday at her spa and couldn't be more thrilled to continue working with her! She is located in a historic old home in San Marcos. Tucked away under the staircase, her rooms immediately gave me a sense of peace and calm. She was very open and friendly, especially considering that she met with me on short-notice and I brought fussy kids with me! I've been looking for someone to do wedding makeup and she offered to do a trial run immediately following our consultation. Her quiet confidence was reassuring and soothed my nerves~ I struggle with skin issues and never like the look of makeup. I was thrilled when I finally looked in the mirror and saw her work. My skin looked AMAZING. And the kicker is that I walked in with irritated, scaly, tomato red skin. No one would have had a clue when she was done. And then… she patiently changed my eye make-up time after time as I tried to explain what I was hoping for. All while the baby threw crackers on her rugs… and she remained as friendly as when she opened the door. I bought a coupon for services before meeting her, but now I can not wait to go back and will definitely see her for other treatments, so I can soak some more of the tranquil vibe in her spa. There is nothing pretentious about her place at all, which I truly appreciate. It was like walking into someone's home, with a zen atmosphere. Best experience ever.

I'm a little bit late in writing this post. A few weeks ago, maybe a month, back when it was summery and bright outside, my adorable nephew came over one day with my brother to proudly deliver some of his harvest from their backyard garden. He marched into the kitchen and presented me with one butternut squash, and one cauliflower. I acted suitably impressed, and then he ran off to play, leaving the vegetables on the counter. I left them there, as the fridge was full anyway, and figured I'd think of something to do with them in the next day or so. A reasonable plan.
But do you know what happens when you leave cauliflower sitting on your kitchen counter for a day or two? Your whole house reeks of cauliflower. Reeks. By the next morning, it was utterly imperative that I either find space for that cauliflower in the fridge (which would likely just make my fridge smell) or cook it immediately. Since cooking it was something I would have to do eventually, and cooking it in a way that would make my house smell wonderful, instead of foul would solve two problems at once, (three if you count the fact that it would cover dinner) I opted to cook it.
The boys' grandmother (Anik's mum obviously, not mine) makes a really amazing dish the boys call 'cauliflower curry' that they always devour, so I decided to make that. She's always been a bit proprietary with her recipes, if I ask how something is made, she rattles off a bunch of ingredients really quickly and says it's very simple without giving me any actual direction. So, google then? Surely the internet could tell me what to make. I knew the name of the dish was actually Aloo Gobi (aloo being potatoes, gobi being cauliflower), and I was reasonably confident I had all the spices I needed, so after perusing a few conflicting recipes online, I decided to just wing it. I knew approximately what was in it, and I knew how it should taste, how difficult could it be?
The boys pronounced it delicious, so I present to you my version of Aloo Gobi. (Served with rotis and green chutney and yogurt)
2 whole cloves of garlic
1 chunk of fresh ginger, approximately equivalent to the amount of garlic you have
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of ground coriander seed
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric
1 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons of peanut oil
1 large serrano pepper, split down the middle leaving halves attached
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
6 small yellow or white potatoes, cut in halves
Throw the garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil in a chopper and chop until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste. Mix the paste, coriander seed, turmeric, and 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large cast iron wok or pot, warm the peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the serrano pepper, wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin seeds and wait until they're done spluttering. Try not to burn yourself, oil burns hurt! Add the paste-spice mix, which will also splutter. Cook until the paste thickens and deepens in color slightly, about 2 minutes.
Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the lid, stir, and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
I eat green chutney with pretty much anything, including this. If you do not have green chutney, chopped cilantro adds some freshness to the salty-oiliness of this dish.

There's only one place that has adequately defined general physical preparedness (GPP) and that is in the infamous book "Supertraining" by the late Dr. Mel Siff. According to Siff, "the GPP is intended to provide balanced physical conditioning in endurance, strength, speed, flexibility and other basic factors of fitness…GPP may include participation in a variety of different physical activities which provide low intensity, all-round conditioning, with little emphasis on specific sporting skills."
Some folks in the industry have misinterpreted "all-round conditioning" as a suggestion that in GPP, we should attempt to prepare for ALL general physical skills and capacities. The goal of GPP then becomes an attempt to create a base level of fitness that is as broad as possible. GPP programs with this aim have very unfocused program design, if any, as the mission becomes to include as much variety as possible. But, effective GPP aims to go deeper, not broader.
What is your ultimate goal? Do you want to excel at a particular sport? Do you want to be able to carry your groceries up 3 flights of stairs without getting out of breath? Do you want to be able to defend yourself or successfully escape from an attacker? These specific goals require their own practice or training, something that we refer to as SPP, or specialized physical preparedness. Once you have identified what your SPP will consist of, then it makes it possible to make decisions regarding your GPP as it relates to:
- Providing balanced physical conditioning
- Providing the most appropriate base for further development of the SPP
- Avoiding overall training redundancy
Let's take a closer look at the second bullet point. This refers to developing more depth within a few carefully selected general fitness qualities versus going wider by training all, or as many as possible, fitness qualities. This is focused GPP. A deep, focused GPP program is significantly more effective than a broad, unfocused GPP program. In fact, a broad and unfocused GPP program may leave you with undesirable or useless results that hinder the SPP rather than enhance it.
This is analogous to paint tint base. Tint base is used to form the foundation for a specific color. It helps determine how tough paint is, how well it can resist dirt and stains and how well paint holds up under tough scrubbing. So, the specific desired outcome of your painting project will determine the appropriate choice in tint base. Combining all tint bases to be used as the foundation for your painting project will leave you very disappointed with the final result!
So, steer clear of GPP programs that promise to prepare for every known and unknown situation. Not only is this an impossible pursuit, but it leads to reckless and dangerous programming that doesn't effectively accomplish what it sets out to do.

Our government decided over fifteen years ago that certain citizens, categorized as "long-term discouraged workers," do not exist. The category exists, but the citizens don't. When the Bureau of Labor or other entities give the numbers of the unemployed, these men and woman are excluded: they are not there. They are our government's version of the Disappeared.
Strangely enough, though out of work, they do not belong to the category of "the unemployed." The Disappeared (according to an excellent article in DailyFinance) consist of those who "had pursued jobs in the past 12 months but, discouraged by the lack of opportunity, had stopped looking altogether."
Now how, exactly, does the United States Government know that all these people stopped job-hunting? Gave up for good? Are stretched out in the recliner in front of the TV with a beer, or more likely in front of no TV with no beer and no recliner due to lack of income, and have been lying there for months? Does the Bureau of Labor Statistics knock on their door (assuming they haven't been foreclosed and evicted and still have a door) and come in, and ask, and observe them for a week or two to see if they are or are not going out looking for a job? Well, no. The statistics on unemployment are gathered rather more indirectly than that.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts as "unemployed" only people who have "actively looked for a job in the previous four weeks." The number of people in the category, "the unemployed," is based on the number of reports of frequent, continuous job-hunting, which people out of work are required to submit, in order to qualify for unemployment benefits – up until the set date when those benefits cease. After that, the unemployed cease to be even the unemployed. They cease to be counted. They disappear.
And yet the government knows something about them. It knows, for certain, that not one single one of them is looking for work. It knows so because it says so.
It seems odd that people would stop looking for work just the very moment when the dole they were getting by on stops. But remember! They are not the unemployed. They are not even people. They are a category: "the long-term discouraged." Clearly a negligible category — slobs, louts, layabouts, no entrepreneurial spirit, no good ole American get up and go. They aren't counted because, frankly, they don't count.
Currently, around two and a half million American citizens don't count.
It's an amazing effective trick, replacing human beings with categories. The statistics present us the highly managed category "the unemployed" as a reality; editorial writers and TV pundits intone it over and over; and it's only too easy to accept it — until you realise it entails the belief that two and half million unemployed Americans aren't looking for a job, won't look for a job, wouldn't look for one if there were any to look for. Do you believe that?
The trick was perfected in 1994 to pad employment figures. It has worked beautifully ever since.
It allows the government to keep telling us that unemployment is "only" around 9% . The actual figure, once the padding is removed, is certainly over 16% and probably over 22% — very near the worst days of the 1930's.
It allows the government not to provide job opportunities and works projects. Who needs 'em?
It allows the government to let people starve. Starve? Who? Them? But they don't exist!
Even if they did exist they'd be so lazy they wouldn't even vote. Forget 'em.
Some of these non-existent Americans have been visible, recently, joining the tent cities and demos of Occupy America. (But don't worry, those discontented liberal whine-ins never get anywhere. We're still testing bombs, we're still in Viet Nam, racial segregation is still enforced by law, and this recession's a blip that trickle-down will fix in no time. And it's morning in America.)
What I don't know is, how do we refuse to play along any longer — how to demand that the Bureau of Labor Statistics stop padding and give us an honest count? I guess it begins by simply refusing the padded figure every time we hear or see it — correcting it, protesting aloud. Lies grow in the silence of those who hear them.

A combination. FSU/CU leave, ND would enter *if* their existing contract with NBC and any extensions are honored, their contracted, future-scheduled games with their big OOC 5 (see below on their scheduling problems involving traditional rivals) are also honored, which might involve the ACC/NCAA allowing a special 13th game for ND/Navy, possibly as a season kickoff, make Pitt (maybe BC) their traditional ACC rival, and schedule other ACC conference games for ND to accommodate 'must-dates' for their Big 5 OOC games. It's those OOC games that will make the NBC contract work and satisfy the huge block of ND traditionalists, as well.
Do all that, and ND might join and lend a much-needed kick in the trousers for the ACC season. If VT leaves that'd be a shame, but wouldn't change anything for ND if they are accommodated.
Otherwise, ND can shop elsewhere, as they undoubtedly would be doing while ACC talks are going on. They could take the best deal, or just stay where they are, which wouldn't be the end of the world for them.
BCS school Presidents will make decisions on the playoff by consensus, according to the report posted below. That means the SEC and ND must agree or there is no consensus. No consensus, no playoff decision. ND (and the SEC) might not be in the drivers seat, but they can prevent anyone else from being there, if it means ND would be frozen out, in ND's opinion (not anyone else's)-- or a high-ranked SEC #2 either, for that matter, like the current national champ Bama.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
The El Paso County Coroner's Office released autopsy report for the two people who died during the Waldo Canyon Fire. 11 News obtained a copy of the report Wednesday.
The seven page report indicates William Everett, 74, and his wife Barbara, 73, died as a result of smoke inhalation and other "thermal injuries."
The Everetts lived in the 2900 block of Rossmere Street in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood on the west side of Colorado Springs.
According to the report, investigators said the couple called relatives before their home caught fire and were in the process of evacuating the house. Their home along with nearly 350 others burned down at the height of the Waldo Canyon Fire.
Investigators in the coroner's office found a surgical plate among the remains to help identify William's body. The plate was used to repair a leg injury he suffered when he fell off a ladder in 1997.
The report goes on to say the manner of death is undetermined because the exact cause of the fire has not been uncovered. The finding could change based on an updated ruling on the cause.

I personally get frustrated when people have to give their opinions on recipes' ingredients ,,, if you don't care for the ingredients used please keep it to yourself. The imitation crab is made from fish and I find it very good in recipes even though I love the real and fresh crab also.

As for me, I tend to dodge my responsibilities when I'm down (not necessarily recommended), surf the web (mostly scrap related), scrap a page (often to a challenge), watch tv, clean house (mindless but with a big reward), drink hot tea, call or visit my mom. Sometimes just getting through the day is a victory. Once the kids are home from school, my attention goes onto them and by outfocusing I can forget my own worries (temporarily anyway). I also try breathing slower and deeper to keep myself calmer. If the sun is out, it helps tremendously. hard to be sad on a sunny day for me.

We recently moved to an acreage that is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and walking far out through the woods to the back has not failed to cheer me, no matter how down I am. Reasonably good weather is required for this, although a light misty rain can be very refreshing!
If it's cold, there's nothing like a hot bubble bath with candle light and some relaxing music. I do this often to calm and refresh (not to mention warm up!) in the winter.
Playing the piano is another way I cheer myself. Usually worship music, or whatever stirs my heart at the time.
A good comedy can also lift the spirits.
Having lots of remedies seems fickle, somehow, yet I think it gives options because different "down" moods require different methods to pick me up. If all else fails, a good cup of tea with plenty of chocolate can work wonders!

I 'recharge' by having alone time, not by being with people (hubby recharges by being out with others) so if I'm low it sometimes is just that when life moves at the speed of light, I need to step off for a moment and get lost for a whioe in a book or shut the door and watch tv (with the remote to myself!)...
Usually being low for me is an indication that something is out of balance in my life; church, family, volunteer, work, me time. I get crabby if I don't have time to create (everything from making cake pops or other desserty delectable! to making some cool earrings, to photography, to scrappin). Sometimes life gets busy and everything isn't in sync. That's life! So when I get a bit low, that is usually the reason.
Doing something is good - like knocking off that big 'to do' thing that's been sitting on the top of your list all week (the one you don't want to tackle because you just don't have the energy?!)
And exercise outside always gives me a lift... ALWAYS (I somehow feel like I've accomplished something every time I go out and get active - a little crazy I know)!! You'd think I would do this first, hmmmm?!...
Sitting in church also always gives me a lift (and not with kids that I have to separate because they are 'touching' each other!), but I love to just sit and let everything relax, all the stress flows out and away, and for those moments (and for a while after) I am truly at peace...

1. listen to music (something fun if I'm down, heavy metal If I'm angry. You may think that's odd, but energetic music as heavy metal it's good for jumping around and singing to the top of your lungs, I get so tired that I can stay angry any more (I hate sports). ¿The nighboours? I've got to put up with barking dogs, screaming teenagers and a noisy washing machine under my bedroom window during night and day. They can put up with some loud music once in a while.
2. Pet my dog or cat. (My cat seems to have a peting-meter of sorts, when he considers it´s enough, it´s enough. The dog is more affectionate, as long as you don´t ask for a kiss)
3. Watch something funny. Maybe an old episode of Friends (it still makes me laugh more than 10 years later) or The Big Bang Theory.
