V- ji- ^-- Central Ohio's Only Jewish Neuispaper Reaching Every Home A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to American and J4ji>ish Ideah Vol. XIII —No. II- COT.UMBUS, OHIO, iMARCll 14. '93<i Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc Scanning the Horizon By DAVID SCHWARTZ American Jewry Loses Greatest Friend In White House In the Death Of William ' Howard Taft When Sai-nofT Sanjj It is not generally kiiawn but it is a fact nuverthcless, that David Sanioff, radio corporation head, owes his rise to the fact that he once'was a singer in a synagogue clioir. In an indirect way, of course. The facts are these. It was back in lf)0O. Sarnoff at that time was earning the princely sum of $i).00 a week working for tlie Commercial Company, a tele¬ graph organization. On the side, ht was being paid ^lOO for singing in-the syna¬ gogue choir on the Jewish hqli<lay5. Try¬ ing to do both things, he slipped up on one occasion with his work for the Com¬ mercial Company. SarnofT explained that it would ncver_ happen again—as tlie Jewish high holy days were past. , Eut his explanation failed to satisfy. He was told to see the cashier for his pay and forget to come the next day. He Hires His "Firer'^ Sarnoflt then got a job with the Mar¬ coni Company. And it was there, as wire¬ less operator, when thc Titanic sunk, that his great opportunity which was to make a national figure of him came. In¬ cidentally, the man who had dismissed him from his first job, one day,, came to him and asked for a job; Sarnoff gave it ¦'to him, . Why? "Because,'-' he told the man, "if you hadn't dismissed me, I' probably neveri would have gotten my opportunity with the Radio Corporation." That's one way of treating a man who has fired you. Jed Harris, the famed theatrical producer, has a similar way. On the openings of all of his new shows, he makes it a practice to send free tick¬ ets to the man who once dismissed him. "He is my, greatest benefactor," says Harris. "U he hadn't let me go, I never would have set up on my own hook.". Capitalizing Adversity And that reminds me, too, of a young Jewish newspaperman ijvith whom I was talking recently. He is a very sober faced young man—almost too solemn. He was telling me of a little unhappy in¬ cident, which occurred to him in some restaurant. And I should say also here, that-he.does a great deal of writing for trade papers. Well, he was telling me of ,this trouble in the restaurant. "Of course," ;he added, very seriously, "I always capitalize on these experiences. I expect I'll make .tlO.OO out of this trouble. You see, I'll just take this experience and use it as a basis for a narticle—'Hints to Restaurant Owners,' and send it to some Cafeteria Journal." Now, that's what 1 call a wise boy. H youVe thrown out on the sidewalk, just write an article on how it feels to strike the sidewalk and sell it as a Sun¬ day feature. Then change it a bit, em¬ phasizing how it affects the ego and sell it to a Psychological Review. The Jew¬ ish aspects—Famous Jews Who Have Hit the Sidewalk—could doubtless be sold to a Jewish newspaper. It's great, if you have a little ingenuity. The Case of Pulitzer Sarnoff gave the man who dismissed him a job—Jed Harris sends the man who turned him out free tickets—Joseph Pulitzer, who founded the New York World, did something else, Joseph Pulitzer, you remember, as a young immigrant, was once thrown out of a building on Park Row. Pulitzer bided his time and when wealth came to him, he bought the build ing and tore it down. Today, the Pulit¬ zer building stands on the same site. Different With Ochs I sometimes am sorry for these people of eminence, who have never been thrown out of buildings and never have been given the blue, slip. What are they go ing to do, when they commence writing their auto-biographies? There is Adolph Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, for instance. As far as I know he has no one to get back at. I do not mean that he has always had smooth sailing. That is not so. He has had plenty of difficulties. He was, for example, very much afraid of entering the New York field. At the time, he was publisher of a little paper in Chattanooga. When the New York Times, then in a run down state, was on the market, Ochs was notified. -'"I am afraid I am not big enough to enter the New York field," he told Kohl- saaf, then publisher of a Chicago daily. "If you don't tell anybody, people won't know it," was the very sagacious reply of the Chicagoan. He came to New York and taught the Gothamites a few lessons. Warfield'a Favorite Story David Warfield tells the one about the colored man who was up before court "Now, you , know," said the judge, "what it means to swear to tell the truth." "Yes, Judge, I shore does," said Ras- tus. "What does it mean, Rastus?" "Ah expect. Judge, it means that we'll lose the case." He Knew What It Wasn't Jacob Kirschenbaum of the Jewish Morning Journal tells the story of Chayim Itzik, a simple minded Jew hack in Russia, who was warned, prior to go¬ ing to get his passport, to give some name that was not Jewish. "Remember, Chayim Itzik, to say that you are Ivan Ivanoff." When he came to the^ passport office, Chayim was of course asked his name. He stumbled, mumbled, but wasn't able to recall his fictitious mme. "Anyway." he bellowed, with a sharp gesture of his hand, "it's not Chayim It- sik, I assure you." In a Line or Two Herbert Bayard Swope, former' ex¬ ecutive editor of the World, has been lately conferring a 'great deal with (Continued on pfige 4) Russo-American Treaty Was Abrogated During His Administra¬ tion; Deceased Patriot And Statesman Was A Noted Foe,Of Anti-Semitism; Jews Everywhere Are Mourninir His Demise PUOMINISNT LOCAL BUSI¬ NESS MAN HEADS NA¬ TIONAL ORGANIZATION In thc death of Williani Howard Taft, thc Jews of tlie United States have lost one of tlic finest friends they ever ha<l in American public life. Taft understood the Jews and was sympathetic to their ideals and as[>irati()nB; Ijut unlike most statesmen his understanding and sympathy did not ebb after he kit the White Housed Friendly as he was to Jewish needs as president, he became even more so when he shed the responsibilities of the presi¬ dency, Born and raised in Cincinnati, thq cen¬ ter of Jewish activity of various sorts, including of course the Hebrew Union College and thc reform movement nour¬ ished there by Isaac M. Wise, Taft, as a young man came into close contact with many of the most outstanding leaders of American Jewry. . The Unitarian church he attended stood next to the synagogue in which the dynamic Isaac M. Wise pfeache<l. Taft was fond of telling how the elder Taft was an active Uni¬ tarian with often visits to the synagogiie of Rabbi Isaac M. Wise and Rabbi Lil- lienthat. This early symptom of Jewish- Christian good'-will made a deep impres¬ sion on-Taft and to these youthful Jewish associations we may trace his later good¬ will to the Jewish citizens of the United States. ' The first Jew to play a role in the career of the future president was Gus Karger, the political reporter of the Cin¬ cinnati Times, owned by Taft's brother. .Karger, a keen judge of men, saw in the young judge something of the man that was later to be the first to serve his country both as president and as chief justice of the Supreme Court. An inti¬ mate friendship sprung up between Kar¬ ger and Taft that endured to the day of Karger's death. • Iri the years that he was climbing the ladder of political success from a district attorney to the state supreme court and to the solicitor-generalship of the United States, Taft from time to time met the prominent Jewish leaders of Ohio such as Julius Fleischman, Adolph Cohen and the elder Seasongood, but not until he was nominated for the presidency is there any record of real Jewish participation in the events of his career. A number of Jews played no little part in getting him the nomination for which he had been boosted by Roosevelt. William Loeb, secretary to President Roosevelt, worked with might and main to round up delegates favorable to Taft and the ease with which he was nomi¬ nated bespeaks of Locb's efforts. The omnipresent Gus Karger, too did his bit in handling the pre-convention publicity that "built-up" Taft, so to speak. Victor Rosewater, acting chairman of the Na¬ tional Republican Committee, travelled all over the country in an extensive cam¬ paign of political speech-making to get the country in thc mood for a Taft nomi¬ nation. The one act of his administration that was to endear Taft to the Jews oi America was his support of thc wide-^ spread campaign to repudiate the treaty with Russia as a result of the actions of the Czar's government in refusing to ad¬ mit American citizens who wcrie Jews into Russia. Although Taft's action in the matter was at times questioned by such eminent Jews as Jacob Schiff and Louis Marshall no one doi^f^ted his sincerity. The Russian treaty had already be¬ come an issue when Taft was nominated in 1908. In hi^ speech of acceptance, he referred to thc Russian passport ques¬ tion and termed it "repugnant to the prin-^ ciples of our government" arid promised to give special attention to the matter if elected. In two later addresses he re¬ peated his desire to be of help. That his promises were not mere po¬ litical words vvas well evidenced when in MHI he invited Jacob SchitT, Louis Mar¬ shall, Mayer Sulzberger, Adolph Kraus, Philip Stein, Jacob Furth, J. Waller Freiberg, P.ernard Bettman and Simon Wolf to a luncheon at the White House to discuss thc matter of the abrogation of the Russian treaty. So far as is known this was the first time that a president of tlic United States had invited a delegation of Jews to dine at thc White House. After the luncheon. President Taft as¬ tonished the delegation by reading hie conclusions on the matter of the treaty before he had heard a word from any member of the delegation. He discussed the entire situation, giving the pros and cons for abrogation, repeating his pro¬ fessions df interest in the matter, he de¬ clared that thc situation was improving and that he felt that there was no need for such drastic action. .When Taft fin¬ ished reading he asked that his remarks should not be made public but Mr. Schiff, obviously annoyed, said "1 want it pub-_ lished. I want the vwholc world to know the president's attitude." Mr. Marshall then launched into an answer, to some of the president's views, A few days later, Mr. Schiff in a letter took the president to task for breaking his campaign pledge. While Taft felt that he was acting for the best interests of both Jews and the general citizenry in declining to abrogate thc Russian treaty, the leaders of Ameri¬ can Jewry initiated a national campaign to bring the pressure of public opinion to bear on both Taft and Congress. The results of this campaign quickly became evident when both the Senate and the House adopted resolutions directing the president to notify Russia that the treaty would, be abrogated January 1, 1913. Just after this Taft announced that he would give the Jews a Chanukah present by giving Russia official notice, which he did. v ^^. Largely through the influence of Jew¬ ish leaders with President Taft, he ve¬ toed the proposed Dillingham-Gardncr immigration bill which contained the ob¬ jectionable illiteracy test to which the Jews were opposed,; The veto of this bill in 1913 was one of his last official acts as president but he earned for it the gratitude of the entire Jewish popula¬ tion. Throughout his four years in the White House Taft gave evidences of his friend¬ ship for the Jews. When a young Jew¬ ish soldier was being discriminated against in the promotion lists Taft in¬ vestigated the matter and saw to it that the young man received his due. In May, 1911, President Taft addressed the Wash¬ ington Hebrew Congregation!'on the oc¬ casion of the advocating the erection of a monument to Haym Salomon. Taft spoke highly of the services of Salomon to the Revolution and his remarks had much to do with the growth in interest in the career of the Jewish patriot who had been neglected by historians. In ad¬ dition to this address, Taft also spoke at the 1910 B'nai B'rith convention in Wash¬ ington and in the same year set a prece¬ dent by coming to New York to attend the ball of the Daughters of Jacob. Among his important diplomatic ap¬ pointments were Oscar Straus as United States minister to Turkey and Lewi: Einstein as United States riiinister to Costa Rica. Both appointments were well received and popular. In 1913 Taft was the first man to be awarded the B'nai B'rith gold medal given to the man or woman, regardless of creed, who has contributed most during the year to the welfare of the Jewish creed. When all his Jewish appointments are forgotten and all his Jewish friends have become lost in the obscurity of history (Continued on page 8) . Last Of Series Oi C.

The Portsmouth Twig sent forty-two towels and fifty napkins, , A barrel of apples was received from T. S. White.. ¦ ij;any thanks from the directors of the Board. While those Jews who arc afliliated with Temple Ikth El, Detroit, took the initiative in doing honor to Rahbi Leo M. Franklin on his OOth birthday they were not atone in paying homage lo the distinguished spiritual leader. Not onlj Detroit Jewry but leaders of every creed joined in greeting him on the occasion of ilia becoming a sexagenarian. To De¬ troit Rabl)i Franklin is something more than a rabbi. Eight years ago il was his successful cam[>aigii tliat prevented thc Michigan electorate from approving an amendment to the state constitution that would have closed the i>arochiaI schools. For tliis service the Catholic University of Detroit gave him an hon¬ orary degree. In the 31 years of his ministership he has develoi>ed a congre¬ gation that in I8!)i) had 130 members^ to one of the largest in the country. Civic affairs .in Detroit have an able supporter in him. The public library, housing im¬ provements, theatres to say nothing of his philanthropic endeavors, owe much to him.' ¦ , Democratic politicians in New York are eagerly watching , the wire-pulling that is going on in behalf of four prom¬ inent Jews whose friends are booming them for a vacancy in thc state supreme court. Joiiah J. Goldstein, Sol Stroock, Benjamin Schreiber and Bennett Siegel- stein are all in the running with Gold¬ stein and Schreiber having the hiside track. The entire quartet are lawyers whose careers have spread out into mani¬ fold spheres. Goldstein has been active in Jewish education and East Euroix'aii relief. Stroock is a civic worker and educator. Sicgclstein has won consider¬ able renown for his political "reform work and his services to prison legisla¬ tion. Schreiber is the champion _ cam¬ paign manager. Three judges, a district attorney and Mayor Walker were man¬ aged into office by him. Only with John -W. Davis, whose New York headquarters he bossed, did he fail.

Minstrel Show wishea to take this means of thanking tlie public for its generous patronage, and also the great number of non-members who volunteered their serv¬ ices. PLAY BY LOCAL AUTHOR Tlie Purimi play to be presented by the children of the Religious School of th( Agudath Achim Synagogue Sunday en^ tilled, "A Sick Purim," was written .bj Mrs. Elma Ehrlich Levinger, well-knowr local author and playwright. The venerable Ben Altheimcr seldom gets into the headlines but on the occa¬ sion of his 80th birthday even his modesty could not keep him out. The founder of the Flag Day movement, the initiator of Bundle Day, the philanthropist, the busi¬ ness man and the religious leader, to all these tribute was paid March Gth. To few men has it been given to be of such great and varied service to his fellow men. For 32 years a resident of Sl. Louis the Mound City he came to New York in 1917 and five years later was elected president of Tcimple Beth F.I. lu thc Mound City he earned a national repu¬ tation as a civic leader. It was Altheimer who organized the campaign to help the families of the victims of the Southern yellow fever epidemic. For 30 years he has been treasurer of the National Jew¬ ish Hospital at Denver and is now the only surviving member of the group that bounded thc hospital. Philanthropies without regard to race or creed have had his support. In 1927 he received the Cross of Honor from-' the American Flag Association for his efforts to im¬ plant appreciation of the national emblem in the hearts of the American people. Once a newspaperman always a news¬ paperman is an adage that can't be licked. To uo one does this apply so well as to Moses Koenigsberg who after he left the Hearst organisation declared himself through with the newspaper busi¬ ness. Now the publisher of the Denver Post announces that Koenigsberg has ac¬ cepted the position of genera] manager and "M. K" is again in harness. He left Hearst in 1928 shortly after he had bteen honored with chevalier of the Le¬ gion of Honor by the French govcrn- ment. He was then general manager of the International News Sen'ice.^ " Koe¬ nigsberg was a newspaper publisher in Texas at the age of IS. In 190^ he be¬ came editor of the Chicago American .nnd in 1908 of the Boston .\merican By this time he was already an invahi- able part of the Hearst organization. It was Koenigsberg who developed thc Kiiig Features Service and the Interna¬ tional News Service for the irrepressible Hearst. The newspaper profession with¬ out him was duller and with him back airain things can be expected to liven no Denver, of late a dead newspaper town, will soon see some fireworks if Koerji^s- b(^r(T lives un to his well earned fame.

Written Testimonials
• "Great Cutter!" -Dawn G.
• "I have been fabricating stone counters for 10 years; I bought this blade for my BLUE RIPPER SR. track saw, what a buy!! Fast smooth cuts, not much chipping and really not that loud for a non silent core blade, this blade performs as well or better than blades I have paid 2-3x's for. So far I have cut a bunch of granite, natural quarts and some mane made quartz (ceasarstone) slabs with no issues" -Timothy O.

The blade life on both blades is same, but it cut faster on normal concrete and block, so save me some time on the job." -Rick G.
• "This was the best glass tile blade that I have used so far. It cuts very smooth without any chipping on the edge of the glass tile and best of all it didn't chip off the back layer paint. I was totally amazed by the performance and the blade life. I would highly recommend this blade to anyone want to spend their money on the good quality blade." -Todd F.
• "It performs great on Concrete, Block and Asphalt with reasonable blade life. Before I paid $250 for 14" blade from other supplier, but here I only paid $144.99. Best of all, they ship out my order on the same day when I ordered the blade with free ground shipping." -Robert S.

• "At first when I saw the price on the 14" blade with 12mm rim, I think this blade must be a cheap low quality blade.

I have paid $150 for the same blade from other place and it didn't perform much better than this blade. I'm glad I have tried the blade to prove the quality is good and I'll definitely buy from this web store again." -Shawn K.

I used mine dry and can only assume that it would rip through stone even faster if a water feed was used with it. Great product!" -Matthew M.

• "Works Awesome! I bought this for cutting bath sink holes, it's easy to control and very fast. I started using it for toilet drain on porcelain tile, what use to take me 10 minutes or more on a regular tile saw, cutting straight lines then cleaning up the edge and hope fully it does not break, the you have to start all over, now takes about a minute, and I have not had a tile break yet. Will definitely order more, best product, at the best price." -Jose C.
• "Owners of 6-1/2 inch saws have few options in finish cut blades for wood. The Gila Tool 60-tooth blade is an excellent choice. In a Ridgid 6-1/2 inch framing saw it produces splinter-free cuts for me in 3/4 inch Chinese oak veneer plywood. This wood is known for its exceptionally thin veneer. I compared the blade with excellent 40-tooth carbide tipped Tenryu sawblade, a 36-tooth Matsushita saw blade, and a 140-tooth all-steel finish blade. The Gila saw blade cut smoother than the 40 tooth blade, which itself cut very similar in smoothness to the Matsushita blade. The 140 tooth steel blade made the smoothest cuts of all, but cut much slower and I would expect it to remain sharp a shorter time. The four star rating reflects the rather ordinary finish of the blade and, to my possibly-fallible perception, a bit less polish on the teeth than found on the other two carbide blades. That said, I currently know of no better choice for a 6-1/2 inch finish blade." -Marvin M.
• "Great product from this company" -Steve F.
• "Blade arrived in 2 days after I ordered. Product works perfectly." -John K.

Nobody needs a tablet, but many people still want a tablet. This is still the core differentiator between a 'real' computer and a tablet. At least in The Netherlands, you can't function in society without a desktop or laptop connected to the internet, so people need a computer. A tablet, though? Hence, the most common thing people have told me when they played with my iPad 2 is this: I'd love to have a tablet, but not for hundreds of euros. Enter Google's Nexus 7, the first 'cheap' tablet that doesn't just validate Android as a tablet platform, but also gives the iPad a run for its money.

Very happy with my Nexus 7 but disagree about the front facing camera.
The second camera would be useful in video calls and for taking pictures of receipts with an app like Lemon (which is not yet compatible with the N7 perhaps because of the missing front camera issue).
I'd pay another $35 for the second camera. But subtract $40 if the manufacturer pre-loads a non-default UI.

Truly a statement suitable for the day in whiqii. we gather to sum up our' actions and needs of the past year, and nn the. basis of this summary, ask the Lord to grant us jiealth, happiness, and prosperity for the year to ccimc. A dcclaratifjn of this kind, if made with a clear conscience and based upon reality, miist,in itself be the source of all the happiness and bliss, and the people that make it have every riylit to be proud and contented.- ' .But— . And there is a "but" which throws a deep shadow upon the substantiality, of this statement. .

Even those that do "come in for a while to our synaj^ogs, iif they are decent enough not to sneer or' amuse themselves over, the "funny" ¦ words and "ridiculous" siniiuls,. feel 'themselves uncomfortable and utterly out of place., And the <iuestioi) suggests itsfelf: Have we, in the face of tliese facts, the tnpr-' al right; to .come, in on these holy days into the, House'of God and declare that, there is ho "ihiquity in Jacob, nor perr verseiicss in Israel"? How many o£ us, while making this declaration, can s^y with a clear con¬ science; We have done our duty to our God and to our people. We'have given our children a real'Jewish educa¬ tion and brought them up in the triie Jewish spiirit so that they will be able to take oiir place and continue the weav¬ ing of the golden thread which is called Judaism? , How many of lis can even reduce the siateinent to the minimum of saying: We have ENDEAVORED or HAVE DONE OUR BEST to bring up our children as good Jews? : . The multitudes of childreii that are growing up without .a Jewish education are a striking evidence to the fact which decries.this statement; ¦ And'the fact is still more deplorable when we get to think that po material sacrifices are reqiiired.for doing so. All that is necessary is a little more under¬ standing anda trifle more rcbnscientious- jicss on our side and the problem is solved. Wc must only-rfo our best to fjtart training qur children at the' right age and send them EVERYDAY to the Hebrew school which is; ready to serve 'them and give them THE BEST there is iii the ways arid methods of conveying to children the Jewish learning. 'But, .as said, tliey MUSX COME EVERY DAVi No, negligence should! be allowed. They must not get used to the thought that they can neglisct their Jewish: education: whenever: they feel like doing it. Tliey must be Convinced that it is an inevitable duty, more so—a life-necessity for them to iattend Hebrew school every day. The fact that they will get used from their childliood to devote every day a little time for Jewisli purposes wilt have a great influence upon their future life. It will develop iu them a higli sense of duty and will bring them up good de¬ voted Jews, even if they Will not grow up to be great Hebrew scholars,,as,some w<nild expect their children to come out of a Hebrew school. And—who knoWs? —maybe they will Iiave the pleasure of seeing their children ocupy a pmniinent place among the Jewish scholars.

If there arc any good resolutions, to be adopted at these, solemn hours in these days of Jtidgnicnt one of them, add nr) doiibt the most important, is to make the above statenient true and real.

It coinririses lodges in Eng¬ land, Scotland,. Wales and Ireland. The installation, he said, was under. most favorable auspices and was a, gala event- Mr. Cohen found that large numbers of his Dutch co-religionists are apathetic in their Jewishness. Tlie iwsitiop of the Jews in Holland could, scarcely be im-; proved. No discrimination whatever ex¬ ists against them.

Separating Truth, Consequences
The story wouldn't let Kristiana Bennett sleep. Later she would say that she kept stepping out on the landing and staring up at the night sky, past the rain, as if she had lost something.
In her first semester at the Campus Echo, the student newspaper at North Carolina Central University, she lucked into covering a blockbuster story. A black female student at Central, a historically black school, accused white Duke lacrosse players of raping her at a party in mid March where she and another woman were hired as exotic dancers. The players denied it.
Reporters streamed in from everywhere, interviewing students amid the flowering dogwood on Duke's campus and trawling Durham's grittier neighborhoods for leads. Bennett joined them, but she didn't feel lucky. She felt sick.
Like the accuser, she was a 27-year-old single mother. A while back, when money was tight, she too had considered stripping.
"I have empathized with her the whole time," Bennett said.
Then, in the course of her reporting, Bennett found people who said unflattering things about the accuser. They offered the kinds of details that defense attorneys hired private investigators to find, and Bennett wished she had never heard them. Now she and her editors at the Campus Echo had to decide what to do with them.
As the story unfolded, the student journalists at Central were learning a powerful lesson: that reality is textured. They knew rape was rape; their sympathies stayed with the accuser. But they were coming to see that things are rarely as simple as they first appear.
"This could have been me," Bennett said. "I'm not a saint. I'm not perfect."
The stark race, class and gender contrasts that drew national attention to the story were real. Durham was a city with nearly as many black residents as whites, where the gentle rhythms of Southern life were interrupted as recently as last year by cross-burnings and the letters "KKK" spray-painted on mailboxes, trash cans and a vehicle.
Duke students lived and studied in stone buildings that looked like churches; they bought salads at Whole Foods and drank microbrews in bars along Ninth Street. A few miles away at Central, dusty office furniture piled up in cramped hallways, and a student at the Campus Echo asked her faculty adviser, only half in jest, if he could lend her gas money.
Bennett understood these contrasts particularly well because she embodied them. Her mother was white, her father black. She left her middle-class home at 18, taught preschool, gave birth to a son. Now she lived in a Section 8 apartment and bought groceries with food stamps. She had planned to study one semester at Central before transferring to the University of North Carolina.
"I looked down on Central," she said. "I was like, "It's a black school. It's ghetto as hell.' But I fell in love with it."
Then the story of the black dancer and the white lacrosse players broke. The woman told police she had been choked and brutally raped. A neighbor heard the lacrosse players yell a racist insult as the woman left the party. Around the same time, a woman called 911 to report that someone shouted a racial slur as she passed the house.
No charges had been filed, but the district attorney took DNA samples from the 46 white men on the team (the one black player was not required to give a sample because the woman said her attackers were white). A nurse trained in sexual assault forensics and a doctor examined the woman and found that she had injuries consistent with rape, but the athletes said the DNA results would clear them. Everyone waited.
Bennett agonized. "How do you support her and then turn around and give ammunition to the defense of the Duke players?" she asked, after learning the things she wished she hadn't learned.
On Saturday morning, Bennett's phone rang. It was Bruce dePyssler, the Campus Echo's faculty adviser, a gangly white 54-year-old with a doctorate in anthropology and little formal journalism training. Students teased him for wearing black socks with white Reeboks, but no one questioned his dedication to the Echo, or to them.
He asked Bennett if her sources would talk on the record.
You want to use that? Bennett asked him. Do you know how that will look?
In the real world, you have to print the facts, dePyssler told her. You can't worry about how things will look.
Bennett disagreed. Not only did she and her fellow students instinctively trust the accuser, they understood the political implications of doubting her. This case was about much more than the facts, which were still in question. It was about the realities of being a black woman in America in 2006.
"I'm going to give it to you straight," 22-year-old Echo photographer Khari Jackson told dePyssler. "You are privileged because you're a white man, and everybody knows that white men rule the world."
"I'm not going to argue with that," dePyssler said. "But does that mean they committed a crime?"
The Echo staffers hungered for justice, but many in Durham's black community doubted the woman would get it. Already, defense attorneys for the lacrosse players were chipping away at her story. They pointed out that in the 911 call reporting the racial slur, the female caller three times gave the address of the house where the lacrosse party was taking place, even though the address is not clearly visible from the street. The caller said she and her friend were driving, then that they were walking, and finally that she was sitting outside the house.
But when police arrived minutes later, they found the house empty and quiet. Shortly afterward, a second 911 call came in from a security guard at a nearby supermarket. The guard said that a woman who seemed intoxicated was refusing to get out of a car. When police arrived, the woman told them she had been raped.
As the days passed, everything about the case grew murkier. For all its contrasts, Durham was also complex, a city with a black mayor whose school district had just been sued over allegedly meting out disproportionate punishment to minority students, a place where white guys listened to New Orleans blues and Duke students tutored underprivileged black kids. Even at Central, where sympathy for the alleged victim might have been taken for granted, some blamed her.
"They're going to try to drag her character through the mud," Bennett said later. "It's going to be bad, bad, bad."
Back at her apartment, after talking to dePyssler, Bennett paced. She wondered if she really wanted to be a reporter if this was what it meant: kicking a sister when she was down. Then she made up her mind. She would do what dePyssler said. She would try to be objective. She would question her sources again.
She drove to the house, steeled her nerves and knocked on the door. A day earlier, in casual conversation, this woman had said things that seemed to call the accuser's credibility into question; now she refused to repeat them.
"She said because she's a black woman, the odds are already against her as it is, I'm not going to make it worse for her," Bennett said later.
A second source also refused to be quoted. Only a teenage girl agreed to talk on the record.
Bennett called dePyssler. He had been speaking to the Echo's editor in chief and other staffers who didn't think they should print disparaging information about the accuser without balancing it. The accuser wasn't speaking to the press, so she couldn't defend herself. Their three damaging sources had dwindled to one. The story didn't look solid enough for the upcoming issue.
Get as much information as you can, dePyssler told Bennett. She headed to her last interview, still worried they might print whatever she learned. That night, she sat on the couch, treating her anxiety with a box of chocolate chip muffins and a glass of milk.
In her apartment, French impressionist prints hung on the walls, and shelves held hip-hop CDs and a copy of Invisible Man. Bennett hoped the glare of TV lights would bring justice to the alleged rape victim, but she didn't expect justice to come easily.
This, she thought, was how things were: White college students could afford good lawyers, and lots of black people were quick to condemn a stripper, no matter the color of her skin. There was also the fact that even though the Echo would not print the details Bennett had learned, she couldn't get them out of her head.
"I have this sense of disaster," Bennett said. "I won't lie. If it does turn out that this is false… ." Tears hung in her dark eyes. The fan whirred overhead, and cars rushed past outside.
"I don't even want to think about that."

Post subject: Access Pass: Frequently Asked Questions
There appears to be a lot of confusion about the Access Pass: What it is, what it isnt, and how it works. Get the answers right here.
What the Access Pass is:
The Access Pass is available for those 18 and older. It grants access to more risqué clothing and slightly more intimate furniture and poses. It also allows you to restrict your chatting to adults only.
I bought an Access Pass but I still have Guest_ in front of my name. Is this a bug?
If you are a Guest_ user and you buy an Access Pass, you become a Guest_ user with an AP. Your name is NOT included in the Access Pass purchase.
I bought the Access Pass but didnt get any credits with it. What gives?
Unless you took advantage of one of the periodic bundle sales (AP + credits), then, no, the Access Pass does not come with credits. It also does not come with any items from the
IMVU virtual goods catalog
. You
get the Pass itself.
If it doesnt come with your name and it doesnt come with credits, what do you get with it?
First of all, the Access Pass gives you
Access to the AP only section of the
IMVU virtual goods catalog
Access to
AP only bundles
Access to AP only
public rooms
Access to the AP only animations in the chat client
Access to the
AP Holders Only
forum and the
Access Pass Catalog and Product Request
Also, you get these additional benefits:
Ability to create an additional AP group
Ability to restrict your public room to AP only.
Ability to restrict access to your IMVU Homepage to AP holders only
Ability to restrict access to individual panels on your IMVU Homepage to AP holders only
Ability to create AP content for the IMVU Virtual Goods Catalog if you are a Content Creator

What the Access Pass is not:
The Access Pass is not an adult pass. It does not include sexually explicit content. Overly detailed and/or aroused genitalia, as well as graphically sexual or violent content are considered Unsuitable for IMVU (UFI) and are not permitted.
Please read the
Virtual Goods Rating Policy
(VGRP) for more information on what is and is not permitted for Access Pass content.
If this stuff is not allowed on IMVU, why is there so much of it in the catalog?
IMVU relies on users to abide by the
Terms of Service
Virtual Goods Rating Policy
by not submitting content deemed Unsuitable for IMVU (UFI) to the IMVU Virtual Goods Catalog. IMVU also relies on users to keep such content out of the Virtual Goods Catalog by doing
Peer Review
properly and by flagging all such improperly rated content that does make it past Peer Review into the catalog.
How do I know what to avoid?
First of all, know the
. Knowledge is your best defense. Secondly, be cautious of any exorbitantly priced catalog products unless you
the developer and know that the item is a limited edition or custom product. UFI content tends to be priced high to make a quick profit before it is pulled from the catalog and disabled by IMVU. Also any product description advising you to Get it while its available (again, unless you know the developer and know the product is a limited edition) or instructing you to message the developer for the triggers should also prompt you to be suspicious.
Some basic precautions to take:
Try on all clothing and avatar products. This lets you know for sure that the product works, that its what you want and will reveal any hidden triggers that might classify the product as unsuitable for IMVU (UFI).
Rooms and furniture can be tried on as well as of Client Release 446 released in November 2010. Please take advantage of this ability to test out rooms and furniture to make sure they are compliant with the IMVU Terms of Service and the VGRP.
Pay attention to the derive chain. On every product page in the IMVU Virtual Goods Catalog, you will see:
More items from [CC name] | See homepage
Audio: Limited | Size: [KB size] | Derived from: [parent mesh] | Derivation Tree
If you see Derived from: disabled product, steer clear. There are a couple of different reasons for a mesh to be disabled, neither of them good. Save your credits and buy something else.

The Access Pass and Age Verification:
What is the price of Age Verification Token? And how do I pay for it?
$5.00 (US). You can use any of the payment methods available in the IMVU Credits Store. As of March 15, 2013, the Age Verification token can be purchased by phone. As of March 22, 2013, you can choose to redeem your IMVU prepaid card for credits + Age Verification token.
Where can I buy Age Verification Token?
Only from the IMVU
Credit Store
How do I verify my age?
Simply go to the
Access Pass
page and click on Get Your Age Verified option and follow the prompts
If the automated verification fails (or you do not have the ID being asked for), you will be asked to upload a copy of your official state ID to the website
If this verification attempt fails as well, please file a
help ticket
[Help >> Get Support >> General Support >> Age Verification Request]. Attach your scanned identification documentation (such as passport or state ID card) to the help ticket.
Can I be age verified if I do not reside in the US?
Yes. IMVUs age verification partner's service is available globally. If the verification partner is unable to verify your age automatically, you will be given instructions on manually verifying your age.
Are there any plans to expand the automatic verification method outside the US?
The current verification partner, Integrity by Aristotle, has a much more global presence so even non-US residents should be able to verify their age automatically in most cases.
What if I have a Age Verification Token that I got when I bought AP?
You can use it to verify your age if you choose to do so - you are not required to. If you do, you do not need to pay for the token again.
Can the Age Verification Token be gifted?
Yes, you can purchase an Age Verification Token through the Credit Store as a gift for someone else (They would still have to go through the Age Verification process). You may NOT gift an Age Verification Token that you already own, however.
Do I have to verify my age?
In order to purchase the Access Pass with credits, you must first verify your age. If you purchase the Access Pass with a credit card, age verification is not mandatory.
Will I lose my Access Pass if I do not verify my age?
No, you will not.
Is it true that Age Verification is going to be made mandatory?
If you wish to purchase the Access Pass with credits then you must first verify your age. If you bought the Access Pass with your credit card, age verification continues to be voluntary.
I feel really uncomfortable about sending my personal information to IMVU.
IF your age cannot be verified using either of the first two methods and you have to file a help ticket with IMVU to be age verified, you can black out everything on your identification papers but your name and your birth date, if you desire.
Suppose I do send in my identification papers to verify my age. What does IMVU do with that information?
Your identification is used only to verify your age. It is stored on a secure server and not used for any other purpose.
If you mail or fax your identification papers to IMVU (rather than send them as an attachment to your help ticket), the papers are kept in a secure location and not used for any other purpose.
Who is the partner providing age verification service for IMVU?
Integrity by Aristotle.
I put the wrong age down when I set up my account. Will Age Verification correct that?
Age verification process validates whether you are over 18 or not. It does not change the age or gender listed on your profile.

Does IMVU still refund for items re-rated and disabled?
Simple question; has a complicated answer. Yes, you should still receive refunds for items lost from your inventory due to re-rating. However, IMVU does not issue that refund. As of August 2008, the Content Creator who made the item that was re-rated is responsible for any refunds due. (This announcement can be read
I had something rerated but never got my refund! What gives?
In spite of the CEOs statement (
) that
In all cases, when a product is re-rated, the buyer should be refunded for the amount of their purchase,
in practice there are a couple of things that might prevent you from receiving such a refund.
If you habitually purchase products later deemed to be UFI, you can expect NOT to be refunded for your lost item.
If the Content Creator has cashed out his/her credits before being caught and disabled for UFI content, you can expect NOT to receive a refund for your lost item. (Remember, it is the CC who is responsible for issuing the refund. No credits in the account means no credits available for refunds.)
What do I do if I lose something from my inventory and dont receive a refund for it?
You need to file a
Help Ticket
[Help >> Get Support >> Submit a Case >> General Support >> Other] to inquire why the item was disabled from your inventory and request a refund for it.
Can I get a refund for my Access Pass?
If you have had your Access Pass for less than 30 days, you can apply for a refund. File a
Help Ticket
(Help > Get Support > Billing) to request a refund for your AP. The refund will only be on your AP, however. It will not cover any AP content purchased, and you will lose any AP content you have purchased once the Access Pass is removed.
I do not work for IMVU. I cannot a) expedite your credit/AP/VIP purchase, b) cancel your VIP, c) refund your credits for a disabled product. Please submit a Help ticket to request

How does the Access Pass work? [Troubleshooting Guide]
To �activate� your Access Pass, simply log out and then back in to the website and the client.
Whenever I try to use one of the AP animations in the client I get an error message saying that I must own the AP to perform that action. I own an AP! What�s wrong?
Sign out of the client and back in. You may also need to clear your client cache as well. If that does not work, then you may need to file a
Help Ticket
(Help > Get Support > General Support > Access Pass Issues).
Whenever I try to use one of the AP animations I get an error message saying that the other avatar must own an AP to perform that action?
Does your chat partner own an AP? You cannot perform AP animations unless both partners own the Access Pass. If you both do, then have your chat partner sign out and sign in again. If this does not fix the issue, and clearing the cache also does not help, he/she may need to file a
Help Ticket
(Help > Get Support > General Support > Access Pass Issues).
Why am I invisible in chats?
Are you wearing an AP avatar? If so, then you may appear invisible (or as just a floating head) to non-AP holders.
Why do I appear default to others?
Are you wearing an AP outfit or an AP skin? Non-AP holders cannot see AP clothing items, so you�ll appear default to them.
Is there any way to just view AP content in the catalog?
Yes. In the top left corner under �Browse�, you will find a drop down list that enables you to view all, view GA content only, or view AP content only.
Someone told me that IMVU is getting rid of the Access Pass! Is this true?
No, there are no such plans. This is just a rumor.
Is it true that AP room images and descriptions have to be GA?
No. Since AP rooms cannot be seen or looked up by GA members, it is acceptable to have AP images, descriptions, and names.
Is it true that even AP group images have to be GA?
Yes, it's true. All group images and descriptions must be GA, even if the group is rated AP.
Additional information can be found in the

On the existence of solutions to a two-point boundary value problem involving capillary effect in fluid mechanics
We consider a problem where a liquid and a gas are bounded between two parallel plane surfaces with a capillary surface between the liquid-gas interface. The liquid-plane interface is considered to be non-ideal, which implies that the contact angle of the capillary surface at the interface is set-valued, and change in the contact angle exhibits hysteresis. We analyze a two-point boundary value problem for the fluid flow described by the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations in 2D, wherein a capillary surface with one contact angle is deformed to another with a different contact angle. We show the existence of non-unique classical solutions to this problem, and numerically compute the dissipation.

If Your Business Model Is Based On Hoping Your Customers Never Do Math, You're In Trouble
from the ny-times,-we're-looking-at-you dept
"We have north of 800,000 subscribers paying north of $700 a year for home delivery," Marzorati said. "Of course, they don't seem to know that."Of course, another explanation (which is much more favorable to the NY Times) is just one of general price inelasticity to a newspaper like the NY Times. If that's the case, where the price rises and most people keep subscribing, it suggests that most of those people continue to value the subscription more than the price, and the newspaper might even be able to get away with raising the price further. What's odd, however, is this assumption by Marzorati, that it's the general ignorance of their subscribers that keeps them in business. We're in an age when assuming ignorance on your customer base is a very dangerous position to be in.
As evidence that Times subscribers don't realize how much a subscription costs, he pointed to what happened when the paper raised its home-delivery price by 5 percent during the recession: Only 0.01 percent of subscribers canceled. "I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they're literally not understanding what they're paying," he said. "That's the beauty of the credit card."
If the company's guy in charge of new media and strategic initiatives seems gleeful over ignorant readers, rather than focusing on ways to make sure they continue to get more value out of their subscription than they pay for it, it makes you wonder how long this sort of setup can really last. There are all sorts of ways that a publication with the reputation of the NY Times can make lots and lots of money. But betting on the ignorance of subscribers does not seem to be like the best overall strategy.

Reality and misconceptions about helping kids improve their social skills
May 24, 2014 in Special Education Articles by Jess
Whenever I have the opportunity to speak with fellow Camp Directors who run camps designed for neurotypical children the topic often leads to discussing their campers who present with social-cognitive challenges. In other words, their campers who struggle socially in the camp setting.
Through my discussions with camp colleagues as well as professionals who work with children who present with social skill challenges I often hear that many parents are not interested in sending their child to a summer camp that is designed to meet their child's needs. In some cases the child may not want to go to a camp designed to meet their needs as they understandably want to see themselves as no different than their neurotypical peers despite the fact that they are frequently met with rejection from the same peers who's acceptance they crave. While these parents know there is a risk their child may be unsuccessful in the camp setting they believe that the best way for their child to improve their social skills and provide their child with a feeling of normalcy is through having their child participate in recreational settings (like summer camp) with their neurotypical peers. Often this well intended approach backfires for the child, particularly as they get older and social expectations increase. This led me to question as to where this widely held misconception comes from that children who present with social skill challenges can improve their social skills by simply being around neurotypical peers.

Well, it's been a fun weekend around these parts, with our sudden popularity on Kansas City talk radio and our father's concerned, confused "The man on the radio says you said Albert Pujols did steroids. Did you say that, Will?" (No, Dad, we didn't. What did we tell you about sports talk radio, Dad?)
Anyway, we've been digging though the angry emails — our favorite was "I hope you get the clap from your cheating wives" — and we're not sure what much more we can tell you here. If our source is wrong and Mihlfeld isn't named in the document, we won't use the source again and you can feel free not to listen to us anytime we quote someone on a steroid name. (Despite the now-established Milhlfeld-Grimsley connection.) If our source is right and Milhfeld is in the document, it's anything but proof that he's ever supplied anyone with HGH or anything like that. It just means he's in the document.
There has been talk of a rush to judgment, and we suppose that's fair. But no matter what, these names will come out — all of them — and we will all know just how deep everything goes. It's just a matter of time.
