H.L. Mencken's "New Dictionary of Quotations" is full of zinger after zinger, most of which revolve around a single theme: Those who cannot do, review. I especially like this sulfurous couplet by John Dryden: "They who write ill, and they who ne'er durst write / Turn critics out of mere revenge and spite."
Is that true? Not really -- yet there's some truth in it, especially when it comes to my particular line of work. While a fair number of playwrights and directors have written criticism on the side, very few drama critics have changed directions in midcareer and written for the stage, and fewer still have had any luck at it.
I'm trying to beat those odds. On Saturday, the Santa Fe Opera will present the world premiere of "The Letter," an opera by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec for which I wrote the libretto. It's based on the 1927 play by W. Somerset Maugham, the British novelist who wrote "Of Human Bondage" and "The Razor's Edge."
You probably know "The Letter" from William Wyler's 1940 film, in which Bette Davis played a pistol-packing adulteress. While the plot is mostly Maugham's, our musical version is otherwise very different from the play. We've turned it into what Paul calls an "opera noir," a fast-moving thriller that plays for 90 intermission-free minutes. (Imagine a cross between "Tosca" and "Double Indemnity" and you'll get the idea.)
In case you're wondering, I haven't spent my whole life dreaming of writing an opera libretto. The thought of doing so never entered my mind until Paul invited me to collaborate with him. Nor am I a frustrated playwright: I love reviewing shows and writing biographies on the side. But now that I've got the bit between my teeth, I admit to being thrilled by the prospect of hearing my words sung on stage.
I also admit to having been both amused and touched by the words of an actress I know whom I ran into last summer in a theater lobby. She introduced me to her boyfriend as follows: "Terry isn't just a writer and a critic -- he's an artist too. He's writing an opera!"
Yes, I laughed, but mainly because she blew the bull's-eye out of the target. As far as I'm concerned, critics aren't artists. In my capacity as a critic and biographer, I think of myself as an artisan -- a craftsman. One of the reasons why I believe this to be so is because I used to be an artist. I spent many years working as a professional musician, and that experience has conditioned my approach to criticism. I try to write not as a lofty figure from on high, smashing stone tablets over the heads of character actors and prima donnas, but as someone who has spent his whole adult life immersed in the world of art, both as a critic and, once upon a time, as a practitioner.
Fellow hyphenate
John Lahr, who writes about theater for the New Yorker, is another critic-practitioner, one with a short but impressive track record of success. He collaborated with Elaine Stritch on the book of "At Liberty," Stritch's autobiographical one-woman show, for which they shared a Tony Award in 2002 (and is now suing her for what he claims is his share of the profits).
More recently, Lahr raised a ruckus when he tartly pointed out that most of his colleagues on the aisles of Broadway "have no working experience of the theater, have not written a professional play, a sketch, or even a joke; have never worked in a theater, taken an acting class, or published any extended piece of work. They are creative virgins; everything they know about theater is book-learned and second-hand."
Lahr then went on to claim that criticism is "a life without risk; the critic is risking his opinion, the maker is risking his life. It's a humbling thought but important for the critic to keep it in mind -- a thought he can only know if he's made something himself."
That's putting it a bit too strongly. Kenneth Tynan, the great British drama critic, wasn't just kidding around when he quipped that a critic is "a man who knows the way but can't drive the car."
Many critics have managed to write well about the arts while keeping their creative maidenheads intact. But most of the best ones -- including Tynan himself -- have had at least some professional experience in at least one of the art forms about which they write. Harold Clurman, Edwin Denby, Otis Ferguson, Clement Greenberg, Randall Jarrell, Fairfield Porter, George Bernard Shaw, Virgil Thomson, Stark Young: These are the critics of the past whom I admire most, and except for Ferguson and Greenberg, each of them was also a practicing artist of high distinction.
New appreciation
I went to Chicago last month to review the premiere of "A Minister's Wife," a musical version of Shaw's "Candida," and I was struck by the fact that Austin Pendleton and Jan Tranen, who wrote the book and lyrics, had changed Shaw's play in ways not unlike what I had done to "The Letter," compressing it into a single 90-minute act and turning speeches and dialogue scenes into arias and ensembles. Because I had grappled with a similar set of theatrical problems, I was able to fully appreciate the dazzling skill with which Pendleton and Tranen sculpted "Candida" into a musical-comedy book.
Just as important, hands-on experience also gives critics a proper respect for what Wilfrid Sheed calls "the simple miracle of getting the curtain up every night." It's hard to sing Violetta in "La Traviata" or play the Stage Manager in "Our Town." It's scary to go out in front of a thousand people and put yourself on the line. Unless you know what it takes to do that night after night -- not just in theory but in your blood and bones -- your criticism is likely to be more idealistic than realistic.
What is true of the interpretive artist is truer still when it comes to creative artists. Those who paint or write poems, after all, are doing something that is fundamentally different from merely writing about other people's paintings and poems. They're making something out of nothing. As Stephen Sondheim put it in "Sunday in the Park With George," "Look, I made a hat / Where there never was a hat!"
But what if no one likes your hat? Worse yet, what if some callous clod makes fun of it in print? Don't get me wrong: It's not a critic's job to make a bad artist feel good about himself. But a critic lacking in empathy will find it hard to understand the creative process in anything other than a superficial way -- and the most effective way to acquire that empathy is to try making a hat of your own.
Needless to say, I didn't agree to write an opera libretto in order to become a better critic, much less to impress the artists whose work I review. But I've found in recent months that a good many theater professionals appear to be pleasantly surprised that I'm putting my money where my mouth is. Together with Paul Moravec and the other wonderfully gifted men and women with whom I am collaborating on the premiere of "The Letter," I'm submitting myself for approval -- not just from my fellow critics but from the people who read my reviews each week. On Saturday, they'll find out whether I can walk the walk.
That's why it means so much to me to be working on "The Letter." I've become an artist again, and the sensation is both terrifying and exhilarating. I've never set foot inside a casino, but I can't help but think that this must be what it feels like to place a big bet. Of course I hope I win, but even if I lose, I will be vastly richer in spirit -- and in empathy -- for having dared at last to roll the dice.
Teachout is the drama critic of the Wall Street Journal. His latest book, "Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong," will be published in December by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. He blogs about the arts at www.terryteachout.com.

Reichenberg retires - - BBPS has excellent retention rate
Carol Reichenberg began her teaching career in Broken Bow in 1977. This Friday she will bid a fond farewell to the school that has provided her income and fulfilled her passion for the past 34 years. Carol is a native of North Platte, and says she knew from the time she was in 7th grade that she one day wanted to be a teacher. When she was in high school she helped as an aid in the special ed classroom, as she was thinking of going into that area. But it didn't take long for her to realize her true passion was elementary kids. After high school, Carol attended one year of junior college in North Platte before transferring to then Kearney State College, where she received her degree. She became familiar with the Broken Bow school system when she student taught here while in college, working under Anna Mae Taylor at the time. Her husband, Wes, accepted a position as shop teacher at Broken Bow, so the couple moved here and Carol commuted back and forth to Kearney to finish school. Fresh out of college she began teaching kindergarten in Broken Bow, and continued in that capacity for five years. She then moved to the 2nd grade classroom, and has been there ever since. "I like working with the younger kids, because they are still excited about learning," Carol says referring to her decision to stay in the lower elementary. Unlike a lot of teachers, Carol says she really didn't have one particular teacher who inspired her when she was young to choose that profession. However, she does come from a long family background of teachers. Carol's mother was also a teacher, and was teaching kindergarten in North Platte at the time Carol started teaching in Broken Bow. Her grandmother (mother's mother) was also a teacher. Ironically, Carol's mother-in-law was a kindergarten teacher as well when Carol began her career. Carol's daughter, Laurie, will continue that family legacy, becoming the fourth generation woman to teach. She is currently studying at UNL to be an elementary teacher. Carol says she also has two nieces who teach, both at the 3rd grade level. At this point, Carol says she doesn't have any big plans for retirement, but knows she wants to stay right here. "I like the small town. I just can't imagine living in a big city!" She says one change she has noticed in the young children since she began teaching, is that they are "more worldly" now. Kids at a younger age seem to have a better understanding of current events and the world around them, she says. And, of course, technology has changed everything. Even the youngest children are learning to navigate their way around the computer. "I'm really going to miss the kids, and the people I work with," Carol says as she pauses. "But now I'm going to shed my cocoon, spread my wings and get back out in the world! "I had good years teaching in Broken Bow and raising our family here." Carol is actually a member of a large club of teachers who have been part of the Broken Bow Public School system for a long time. Retaining good teachers is something this district does well, and it is a virtue both school board members and administrators appreciate greatly. Here is a look at those teachers currently employed at BBPS, and have been for 20 years or more. Mike Garner - has taught a total of 22 years, 21 of them at Broken Bow. Lonnie Koepke - has taught a total of 31 years, 22 at BBPS. Paul Loomer - has taught a total of 30 years, all at BBPS. Stephanie Meyer - has taught a total of 29 years, all at Broken Bow. Bill Reichert - has been teaching 40 years, 37 at BBPS. Bev Schwisow - has taught for 28 years, all of them at Broken Bow. Jerry Scott - has been a teacher for 27 years, all of them at BBPS. Zella Briggs - has taught a total of 30 years, all at Broken Bow. Kirk Crawley - has been a teacher for 29 years, and has taught all of those at BBPS. Julie Foster - has taught 25 years total, 19 at Broken Bow. Mary Jane Garner - has taught all of her 26 years at Broken Bow Public Schools. Jim Hartman - has taught a total of 34 years, 32 of them at Broken Bow. Bonnie Hickman-Kamarad - has taught 30 of her 36 years at Broken Bow. Mary Jo Peterson - has taught all of her 31 years at Broken Bow. Diane Scott - has taught all of her 29 years at BBPS. Shelly Jenkins - has been a teacher for 30 years, 25 of them in Broken Bow. Karen Neth - has taught 30 of her 32 years at Broken Bow. Wanda Russell - has been a teacher 23 years, and has been in Broken Bow 20 years. Gary Meyer - has taught 29 of his 31 years at BBPS. Kay Pierce - has spent her entire 27-year career at Broken Bow. Other teachers who have been with the district a very long time include: Amy Kozeal - 17 of her 18 years teaching; and Stacie McMeen, who has spent all of her 17 years teaching at Broken Bow. When asked what made her stay in Broken Bow her entire career, Carol said it was mainly because she just really liked the job. She also credited the community for being a great place to live and raise a family. Obviously this school district and community is doing something right. In a time when it seems many float from job to job at the drop of a hat, the fact that good teachers come here - and stay here - is something we can all be very proud of.

Von D scraps publicity tour following TV interview walk-out
The star, who was due to promote the new series of her reality show L.A. Ink across America this summer (11), walked out on a TV interview with Good Day L.A. on Wednesday (27Jul11), moments before she was due to go live, after learning she would be quizzed about her break-up.
The incident prompted Von D to axe the tour altogether to concentrate on mending her broken heart.
In a post on her Facebook.com page later on Wednesday, she wrote, "Today was really hard for me. And no ones (sic) to blame other than myself... Tomorrow the new season of LA Ink starts and I admit I'm not strong enough to do all the press I committed to doing for the show. Today was a perfect example of that...
"Ratings. Sales. Publicity. The amount of followers I have on twitter.None of those things matters to me. Watch the show or don't watch it. Whether people tune in or not doesn't change my best efforts or the quality of what I do, because when you make something for the sake of putting good out into the universe, the payback comes from a much more fulfilling place than any man made form of payment."
Von D and James confirmed their split on Tuesday (26Jul11).

Tweet Santa? System might crumble under demand
Q. What if all the world's couple of billion kids tweeted Santa at the same time? Could the social network bear up under the weight? What if the Jolly Old Gent also had a Facebook account? –M. Zuckerberg
A. All communications systems have limits, points out Purdue's Douglas Comer. For example, the old Bell Telephone system was designed to handle all the calls on Mother's Day, but it could become overloaded and a caller would hear the message, "All circuits are busy; try again later."
The Internet, however, is more analogous to a highway system where there may be a traffic jam at 5pm, but eventually all drivers get home. Twitter doesn't have a dedicated network but uses the Internet and the cell phone network instead, both shared with other uses. You don't need a dedicated circuit for each tweet. Rather, senders take turns.
But still, if billions of kids tried to tweet Santa at the same time, Twitter would become overloaded. This happened the day Apple CEO Steve Jobs died, when the tweet rate peaked at 10,000 per second, says Case-Western Reserve doctoral student Tom Callahan. Even if the kids spread their tweets out over 24 hours, the average tweet rate would still be more than twice that peak, meaning many tweets would not get through.
As to Facebook, it has more capacity than Twitter, with 2 billion-plus posts liked or commented on every day. If, in the spirit of the season, we're willing to relax the time frame to a 24-hour period to accommodate a world full of kids, then "clearly Facebook would be well-equipped to handle the whole range of comments on Santa's wall."
Q. Santa's distant historical relative was a fourth- century bishop in what is now Turkey, renowned for his generosity to all in need and for his love of children. People eventually began giving presents in his name on his feast day, December 6. Today he's known as "St. Nicholas." Or should that be "Saint Nicholas"? –J.O. Elf
A. The rule is to spell out the word "Saint" for people and personages, says Mark Davidson in Right, Wrong and Risky: A Dictionary of Today's American English Usage. The abbreviation "St." is more properly used for places, as in St. Louis, Missouri and St. Croix, Virgin Islands.
Q. One thing you don't want to talk about this holiday season is "gifting" your wife with a diamond necklace or your husband with a new computer. Why not? –N. Webster
A. Because "gifting" is not as good as receiving, adds communications scholar Mark Davidson. Though "gift" has a long history as a verb, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, "gifting" in Modern English is irredeemably tainted (as is its derivative "giftable") by its association with the language of advertising (as in "Gift her with this copper warming plate")." The Merriam Webster Dictionary of English Usage warns that the verbified "gift," though dating back to the 17th century, "has drawn scorn and even expressions of despair from some current commentators on language."
And here's something else you doubly don't want to do: gift someone with a "free gift," as is commonly used by advertisers for emphasis. That's certainly no excuse for the rest of us to forget that a gift by definition is something bestowed without compensation. "Whether ANY gift is entirely free– free of strings, free of expectation of reciprocity– is another question," Davidson notes.
Q. If you live in the U.S. or Canada or anywhere else in North America, what will you experience on December 22, 2011, for the last time in your life? –A. Pagan
A. A December 22 solstice, or the shortest day that marks the beginning of winter, says Bob Berman in Strange Universe. The year 2011 is the last year this will occur on December 22– hereafter and for the rest of our lives the winter solstice will fall on December 21.
The great irony of the solstice is that at the moment winter starts, days begin lengthening and solar intensity starts growing. And when the calendar marks the summer solstice, that's the day when days start getting shorter.
With this installment of holiday fun, the self-syndicated Strange But True column ends its ten-year run in the Hook. Email your thanks or questions to brothers Bill and Rich at email@example.com.

TAMIU Sophomore Balli Named Fellow for
|Philip Balli, TAMIU Sophomore…Selected for Fellowship
Balli has been selected as one of two Texas students to be named a Fellow in the 2011 Institute for International Public Policy (IIPP), a six-year Fellowship offered by the United Negro College Fund Special Programs Corporation. The Fellowship commitment includes participation in three summer institutes, a study abroad program, an internship, language study and graduate school.
Nicolas Bassey, IIPP director, notified Balli of his selection as a cohort member, remarking "the 2011 Selection Committee noted your commitment to international affairs and your capacity for progressive professional achievement." He added that the program is dedicated to "ensuring that a broader range of this nation's diversity is strategically prepared to contribute to our international dialogue."
TAMIU president Dr. Ray Keck lauded Balli's historic accomplishment.
"This is a young man of remarkable clarity and vision. To have been selected as one of only two Texas students to participate in this competitive multi-year Fellowship is a testimony to his intelligence and global potential," Dr. Keck said.
Balli said he is looking forward to his Fellowship and believes that his previous study travel opportunities helped to prepare him for the Fellowship and the career in international relations that he envisions.
"I was blessed to participate in study abroad trips to both Taiwan and Ghana and each helped me to establish a clearer path to international relations. My major shifted from music to communication, which I feel is better aligned with my career aspirations," Balli explained.
The talented string bassist said while his major has shifted, music is still very much a part of his present and his future.
"I still retain a lifelong fascination with music and while in Taiwan purchased an erhu, a two-string bowed instrument which I am learning to play. I think it would be brilliant to find a way to use music and international relations together in the future," Balli said.
Balli will begin his Fellowship this June with 7-week program in Washington, D.C. The Washington program will include daily classes and coursework in topics including research methods, statistics and policy writing, and introductions to international affairs and global economics.
Balli was born and raised in Laredo and is a J.W. Nixon High School graduate. He is the son of Nick and Bea Balli, longtime Laredo music educators. He has two brothers, Aaron and Justin, and a sister, Rebekah. His brother Justin is a TAMIU senior music major and recently won the Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra's Concerto Competition.
After Balli completes this summer's program, he'll proceed to a junior year program in Maryland, a Study Abroad program in Hong Kong and a senior program at Vermont's Middlebury College, renowned for its strengths in international studies. An internship component is also available, as is support for graduate school studies.

Column as I see 'em …
It's more than a bit ironic that the percentage of elected public officials who attended Sunday's Veterans Day ceremony mirrors almost exactly the survival rate of a local vet's horrifying experience in Korea.
Get this: There were 40 or so people running for public office on the Nov. 2 ballot, and four (County Clerk Jason Denny, Mayor Edwinna Baker, Jailer Joani Clark and City Councilman Larry Giles) attended the ceremony, which equals around 10 percent.

Wondolowski helps Earthquakes past Impact 3-0
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Chris Wondolowski, Marvin Chavez and Shea Salinas scored to lead the San Jose Earthquakes to a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Impact in group play in the CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday night.
San Jose remained alive in Group 5 with the resounding victory, but the Earthquakes need help from the Impact to advance. Group leaders Heredia can clinch the top spot and the only berth in the knockout round with a tie or win in Montreal next Tuesday. That would make the Guatemalans' trip to San Jose on Oct. 23 meaningless.
The Impact also are still alive, but just barely. They need a convincing win over Heredia next week in their last group match, and then a narrow win by San Jose against Heredia.
Wondolowski rolled home the opening goal in the 21st minute, cashing in when Steven Lenhart flicked a header on from Dan Gargan's long throw in.
Chavez and Salinas scored in the second half following failed clearances by Montreal's defense.
Chavez trapped a ball from Patrice Bernier in the 57th minute and quickly sent a left-footed shot from 22 yards past goalkeeper Evan Bush.
Salinas sealed the victory in the 84th minute when he slid a shot under Bush to the far post.
Salinas almost made it 4-0 in second-half injury time with an open look inside Montreal's area, but Bush came off his line to make the save.

Shhhhhh.. I gave you organic vegetable boullion (with a tidge of jalepeno in it). Cedar
Is there a recipe for 'organic vegetable boullion with a hint of jalapeno in it'?
Do they cook in the mason jar as you are canning them? Of do you pre-cook?
My friend Cedar (everyones friend) gave me a 50# box of fresh packed black beans (not dried) over the weekend and when I went to can them their was a bit of confusion as to what instructions I should use. I've got two canning books, a Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving- 100th Anniversary Edition and a Ball Blue Book Guide to Home Canning, Freezing & Dehydrating - Volume 1. Both books were very clear as to how to can dried beans, but not so clear on fresh. They both had instruction for Lima and Butter beans that were fresh but it was a little unclear if other fresh beans would fall under this as well (I was confused since it only listed the two).Common sense told me that the Lima bean instruction would work, but I wanted to be sure. So I called our Oregon State Food Preservation Hotline (800-354-7319). I was told that the instructions I used (yes, I canned them before calling )were perfect. So to help others have an easier time than I did to breath easy, here are the instructions I used. . . . Wash and drain beans. Pack beans loosely in to hot jars, leaving 1" headspace. Do not press or shake down. Add 1/2 tsp salt to each pint (I used a heaping tsp of the beef bouillon that Cedar gave me), 1 tsp to each quart, if desired. Ladle boiling water over beans, leaving 1" headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust 2-piece caps. Process pints 40 minutes, quarts 50 minutes, at 10 pounds pressure in a steam pressure canner. I got 40 pints, and what was left (guessing about another 15-20 pints worth, I gave to my grandmother to can. Yep Grandmother, she's 87 years old and thinks my poop don't stink cause I can and help her can.
Ever canned sprouted black beans?

MILFORD - Divers located the body Monday morning of an 18-year-old Rhode Island man who a day earlier had failed to surface after jumping into the deep and murky Fletcher Quarry, officials said.
The body of Nentor Dahn of Providence was recovered around 10:14 a.m.
The recent high school graduate jumped into the quarry with four friends. He was the third to jump off a roughly 50-foot ledge and did not resurface, Milford Police Chief Thomas O'Loughlin said at a press conference Monday afternoon.
In what quickly turned into a recovery mission, divers searched the water until dusk Sunday and resumed the search early Monday morning, when Dahn was eventually pulled to the surface. A crew of roughly 40 police officers, firefighters and divers were at the scene. The 10 divers worked in a grid pattern outward from the site of the incident.
Dahn was found at a depth of 70 feet below the surface and about 10 feet out from where the cliff meets the water, according to Milford Fire Chief William Touhey.
O'Loughlin speculated that Dahn may have fallen awkwardly, on his side as opposed to feet first, which may have led to his inability to surface.
His body was located with the help of a sonar device, which was lowered into the quarry. After sonar mapping detected what appeared to be a body, divers investigated and found Dahn.
There was no sign that Dahn had been trapped under a ledge or in the debris known to line the quarry's bottom, O'Loughlin said. A medical examiner is set to perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death, he said.
Touhey said the Fletcher Quarry, which includes depths of up to 150 feet, is unfit for swimming.
"In the water there are numerous obstructions. A lot of them probably haven't even been found yet because they're so deep in the water. There are automobiles, heavy equipment from the quarry basin when they were still working in there, and whatever debris got thrown in over the years," Touhey said.
O'Loughlin echoed Touhey's concerns emphasizing the water's low visibility. The divers looking for Dahn reported visibility up to 15 feet, and at times only 10 feet, he said.
The most direct entrance to the quarry is at the Walden Woods housing facility that is owned by Milford Stoneridge LLC.
The quarry is off Cedar Street on the Hopkinton border.
"We have to chase kids out of there all the time," Deputy Police Chief Jim Heron said.
Police check the popular entrances to the quarries, but the dense network of trails allows swimmers to park as far as three miles away and walk through the woods, Heron said.
A resident of Walden Woods, who declined to give her name, said she has noticed an increase in the number of young people walking through her neighborhood to get to the trails.
Heron said that the numerous quarries in Milford have been popular, yet dangerous, summer destinations for years.
"The people might be different but the age group stays the same," he said.
The last reported drowning was in 2007, when a young man drowned in the quarry behind the Shadowbrook housing development.

Please take this as an innocent question. It's just because most discussions I read are about god and his clows and I fail to understand whether we are against them or also other beliefs like Satanism(if it exists) and buddhists... Or maybe Im asking too much questions for a novice. Clarity anyone?
Views: 223
I think we are all of the above. It depends on the circumstance. For me, I try to be as passive as possible in my day-to-day life, otherwise you can walk around all day grumbling. Sometimes, however, something will happen or someone will say something praising their god that really makes my blood boil, and certainly shoots that person's credibility all to "hell".
Try to keep as much harmony in your life as possible. It's the only life you'll ever have. Remember, it's the fundies who say that life's supposed to suck until you're dead!
As upsetting as they may be, don't let them win.
much agreed and I sometimes feel intimidated by people's IQs in this site so much that Im even scared to post anything being afraid its gonna sound stupid... ah thank you guys!
And as for being both anti and atheist, I disagree with you richard because an anti christ is a person who believes in jesus but is against him..and apparently its a myth believed by christians like that of the new world order, whereas an atheist is a real person who believes in reason and logic nd not the existence of the so called god...
The only qualifier to being an atheist is that you lack belief in the existence of gods. Every other belief is open to choice. So you can be an atheist and hate Christianity, or you can be an atheist and love Christianity. You can be a gay atheist, a straight atheist, liberal, conservative, a flat-earther, you can reject evolution, you can accept it, etc. etc. etc.
Most atheists bash on Christianity because it is the most prevalent religion (in North America anyhow), and that's what they're most often subjected to. And of course because they're opposed to some aspect of it. I personally oppose it because of the harm it causes to scientific advancement and the psychological welfare of society.
So to answer your question "are we anti-christs or non believers", we are non-believers. Unless by "we" you mean some sub-group of atheists who share some similar philosophy (eg. brights, humanists, naturalists, etc.).
Never be afraid to ask too many questions! Better to ask too many than too few.

The second half of the song makes it sounds like a lullaby more than a religious song. Especially the part "itoshi itoshi waga ko yo", phrases similar to this turn up often in lullabies. I have no knowledge of shintoism or shinto songs so I can't say anything about the first half of the song.

I love the song and all but when I watch the actual PV, I'm not looking at the pictures but in a way just listening to the music for some reason. When I actually see the OP for kannagi i pay attention to the pictures though.
Anyways the piano version is just pure win! I need to get my hands on it

I've got a collection of shinto chants and such... I can safely say none of it sounds quite as melodic or tuneful. Yet the ED is a chant and a devotional to the gods for the most part and the rhythm and the lyrics are functionally similar in some aspects to ritual song. Many chants are simply a call to say hi to the gods and hope that everyone's harmony isn't disturbed. Folk music at shinto festivals tends to be more catchy and dance-able.

I'm counting the minutes until the ED single comes out. (And just to be sacreligious, I deleted the OP mp3 after only playing it twice, this is one series where I just think the OP sucks. Which is rare for me who seems to spend all my time listening to anime themes!

Other than the ED song, I really like the second track "Kioku no Keshiki". It's just like in the OP single, whereas "Shiawase no Sagashi", calm and soothing, was a nice complement of the ultra-energetic "motto hade ni ne".
Tomatsu Haruka is really something. I would never have thought, when I heard that high pitched, clumsy yet so cliché voice for the first time, namely Lala Satalin Deviluke. At that time spring had just sprung, but boy how much the 18yo Haruka has grown and how much talent she has shown in these months, either as dubber and singer. She has a brilliant future in front of her.

I've been listening Nodame's ending song all day (soooooooooooooooooo addictive...) that I sort of forgot about the ending song for this particular anime being released today. I agree with Pelli, Tomatsu Haruka's singing abilities do not disappoint at all and I hope to see her grow as well. As far as the song goes, I was expecting a lot more for the full version (don't really like the latter half), but these songs tend to take a while before you end up listening them all day; so maybe my opinion will change later on. Still, the mood of this song is simply great, and in my opinion, is slightly better than the opening song itself.

Full ED was great. Better than the OP, if not simply for the fact that the ED fits the anime better.
The drama CD was great too! Adapting the

Consumers again rate UC Davis Medical Center as region's best
For the 14th consecutive year, UC Davis Medical Center has been selected as a Consumer Choice Award winner by the National Research Corporation (NRC).
The 2012 award recognizes a single hospital in each of 300 markets nationwide that health-care consumers choose as providing the highest-quality health care.
"I congratulate the medical teams who work so hard to ensure that UC Davis is the preferred destination for care in our region," said Ann Madden Rice, chief executive officer of UC Davis Medical Center. "This recognition is an important indicator of the trust our patients and the greater Sacramento community place in us to provide the high standards for patient-centered services and safety."
— Ann Madden Rice
The award is based on a survey conducted between Sept. 1, 2011, and Aug. 30, 2012, that included 250,000 households and 3,200 hospitals throughout the continental U.S. Health-care decision makers were asked to rate their local hospitals on multiple quality and image ratings, from best doctors to highest patient safety.
Out of 20 hospitals in the Sacramento region, UC Davis Medical Center received the highest percentage of "best" ratings in 10 areas, including:
- Best overall quality (18.9 percent; the next highest was 12.87 percent)
- Best image and reputation (23.28 percent; the next highest was 11.78 percent)
- Latest technology and equipment (30.65 percent; the next highest was 13.18 percent)
- Widest range of services (27.36 percent; the next highest was 13.71 percent)
- Highest patient safety (18.93 percent; the next highest was 13.68 percent)
According to NRC, the survey is the nation's largest and most comprehensive consumer assessment of the health-care industry. The study has a margin of error of plus or minus 0.2 percent at a national level. Based on the most recent outcomes, NRC is recognizing 296 hospitals with 2012 consumer choice awards.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – Playing against a ranked opponent for the third time in as many days at the 2013 Nor'Easter Bowl, the No. 21 MIT women's tennis team found itself on the short end of an 8-1 score against No. 24 Trinity (Conn.) College. The Engineers finished fourth in the eight-team tournament with the loss, with junior Lauren Quisenberry (Corpus Christi, Texas) scoring the lone point for MIT with a victory in singles play.
Things did not start well for MIT (14-4) as Trinity (6-4) started things off with a sweep of the doubles matches. The Engineers were close to a point in the No. 3 match, as sophomore Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) and freshman Sunnie Lampl (Bluemont, Va.) put up a good fight against the Trinity pair of Elizabeth Gerber and Regan Cherna before falling 8-6. The Bantams took the No. 1 match by an 8-4 score and the No. 2, 8-1, to take a 3-0 lead going into singles.
Quisenberry, who went 3-0 in the No. 1 singles position during the tournament, put MIT on the board after taking a hard fought, 6-4, 7-5 victory over Melita Ferjanic. All of the singles matches would be straight set affairs, but the Engineers were shutout in the rest of the flights as Trinity went on to score the win.
Sophomore Vynnie Kong (Cupertino, Calif.), playing at No. 2 against Hillary Hoyt, had a good match but could not overcome her opponent in a 6-4, 6-3 defeat. Junior Julia Hsu (Knoxville, Tenn.) was the only other MIT player to win more than two games in a set, falling 6-3, 6-3 at No. 6 to Frances Cameron.
MIT will be back on the courts next Saturday, April 13, when it plays at Brandeis University at 11:00 a.m. Trinity will host Connecticut College on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. in its next match.

Rams shut out ECC
ST. MARYS – The Johnsonburg Rams picked up a 7-0 shutout victory over the Elk County Catholic Crusaders at Berwind Park on Monday afternoon. Cole Peterson went the distance for the Rams, giving up just two hits while striking out 14. "It was an outstanding game," said Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson. "At the start of the game we only planned on running him (Cole) three innings, but he's a competitor. He was throwing real good and he felt like a million bucks. He said 'I want to go,' so the kids made the decision-- do you want to ride him the whole game and then not have him for Wednesday? Everybody was good with it. He was cranking. I think he threw great.""Cole filled up the strike zone and we left way too many fastball strikes go by. We watched way too many pitches tonight," said ECC coach Tom Zampogna. Johnsonburg started off with three runs in the first inning, added another in the third, and put the game away with three more in the sixth, all while holding ECC scoreless."We had a couple errors in the first inning, gave up a couple unearned runs, and from that point forward we got down and we just never picked ourselves up," Zampogna said. "I think they'll be okay going forward. Hopefully they learn from it and move on. We've got a lot of young kids." Jack Herzing started on the mound for the Crusaders, working four innings and giving up two hits, walking two, and striking out four. Joe Childs worked the final three innings, walking four and striking out two. CJ Herbstritt and Frank Kocjancic both singled for the Rams. "The kids put the ball in play, everybody, even my bottom. Devon Zilcoski, I think he battled a few times. CJ Herbstritt came around and hit the ball. Quinn, Mitchell, everybody put the ball in play. That's what it's about," Peterson said. "I said as long as we put the ball in play [and have] no strikeouts, we're going to hang around. We're going to be tough to beat."Ivan Wortman led the Crusaders with a double, while Vincent Jacob singled. "They (ECC) are a tough team. They're young and they're definitely going to be there in the end. It's going to be them and us in the end battling again. They're going to be a lot better than they are now," Peterson said."Today's just a bad day for them, good day for us," he added. After picking up two strikes right away, Cole Peterson held on to walk to first to start off the opening inning, and he advanced to second on a fielder's choice that saw Cameron Grumley thrown out at first. Mitchell Holmberg struck out to bring up the second out for the Rams. Quinn Luhr made it to first on an error, which also saw Peterson make it to third. Another error allowed CJ Herbstritt to reach base while Peterson and Luhr both scored to put Johnsonburg on the board. Frank Kocjancic took advantage of a dropped third strike to make it on base and Herbstritt scored. Kyle Sheldon flied out to center field to end the top of the inning, with Johnsonburg holding a 3-0 lead. After Vincent Jacob singled to reach base to start off the bottom half of the inning, the next three batters went down in order to prevent the Crusaders from cutting into the Rams' advantage. Both teams went down in order in the second inning. With two outs in the top of the third, Luhr again reached base on an error, advanced to second on a single by Herbstritt, and scored on a single by Kocjancic. Sheldon flied out to right field, leaving both Herbstritt and Kocjancic on base with the team now holding a 4-0 lead. The Crusaders went down in order in the bottom half of the inning. Devon Zilcoski started out the top of the fourth by reaching base for the Rams on another dropped third strike. Dylon DeLong struck out. Peterson walked, advancing Zilcoski to second. Grumley reached base on a fielder's choice that saw Peterson thrown out at second while Zilcoski advanced to third. The Rams were unable to capitalize on their base runners though as Holmberg flied out to center field to bring about the team's third out. ECC went down in order in the bottom of the inning. In the top of the fifth inning, Luhr flied out to right field for the Rams' first out. Herbstritt walked but was thrown out trying to steal second. Kocjancic also walked but was thrown out at third on a fielder's choice that would have seen Sheldon reach base. The Crusaders again went down in order in the home half of the inning. The Rams added their final three runs in the top of the sixth. Zilcoski started things off by walking and advancing to second as Luke Schrefler reached base on an error. A fielder's choice saw Peterson thrown out at first base while advancing both Zilcoski and Schrefler. Grumley flied out to center field, scoring Zilcoski in the process. Holmberg made it to second on an error on the center fielder, while Schrefler scored. Luhr also reached base on an error that saw Holmberg score. Herbstritt struck out to end the top of the inning with Johnsonburg ahead 7-0. ECC's batters went down in order in the bottom of the inning. With two outs in the top of the seventh, Zilcoski walked to put a runner on base for the Rams; however, he was unable to advance as Schrefler struck out. In the bottom half of the inning, Dan Singer was unable to beat the throw to first, putting the Rams within two outs of the victory. Ivan Wortman doubled to give ECC a chance at getting on the board, but the next two batters went down in order, ending the game and giving the Rams the 7-0 win. Both teams are scheduled to be back in action on Wednesday. Johnsonburg will host the Brockway Rovers at the Knothole Area Recreational Park in Johnsonburg at 4:15 p.m. ECC will travel to DuBois Central Catholic to take on the Cardinals in a match-up also set for 4:15 p.m.

Claudia Nichols earned the title of Tomboy Sawyer for 2013 on July 6 by competing in five outdoor contests in this annual National Tom Sawyer Days event. Claudia, of Hannibal, also won the gunnysack race.
Adrya Nichelson of New London won second place. Adrya said she had practiced for the gunnysack race by using a blanket.
Andrea Altiser of Hannibal finished third and also won the watermelon seed spitting and the slingshot contests.
Winners of the other contests were Avery Hall of Lucas, Iowa, bubble gum blowing; Evie Rodenbaugh of New London, minnow catch; and Kari Schindler of Hannibal, costume.
One of the 24 contestants had no trouble finding a tomboy outfit for the costume judging. Olivia Clayton of Hannibal was wearing the old-fashioned pants and shirt made for her dad, Judge Robert Clayton III, when he was a finalist in the Tom and Becky contest in the early 1980s. Robert explained he still had it hanging in his closet.
Mayor Roy Hark, judge of the minnow catch, teased the girls about their difficulty of catching the slippery fish, but after they competed he was persuaded to try his hand, and he discovered it was not easy.
Most of the girls were from Hannibal, but two came from Iowa for a surprise birthday party. Avery Hall and her mother, Sarah Murphy Hall, came from Lucas, Iowa, and brought Avery's friend, Macy Wood from Chariton, Iowa.
Sarah explained it was a surprise party for Avery, whose 10th birthday was the Fourth of July. Sarah is a Hannibal native, and had competed in Tomboy Sawyer "back in the '80s." She said when she took the book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to Avery, "she couldn't stop reading it."
The Halls were visiting her parents, Jim and Sandy Murphy of Hannibal. The girls said the best thing they had done in Hannibal was touring Mark Twain Cave.
Another girl from Iowa was Jade Biting of Des Moines.
Additional contestants from Hannibal were Alexia Gonzalez, Kenlie Stroud, Jessica Voepel, Jillian Standbridge, Madison Moss, Rian Walters, Ashlee Shulse, Riley Stevenson, Kelsey Nickelson, Molly Broughton and Jaynee Durst.
Also from Missouri were Abigail Benning, New London; Alana Scranton, Monroe City; Emma Watkins, Palmyra; and Erica Crist, Germantown.
Diane Klersy, Tomboy Sawyer chairperson with the sponsor, the Business Women of Missouri - Hannibal Local, said "it was a great event and had a wonderful turnout, and the girls had fun.
"It was well-organized and went very well," Klersy said. "I appreciate all our sponsors. We have a new permanent megaphone."

Situated high in the Andes Mountains in Southeastern Peru, Cusco stands tall as the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. The nearby Inca archaeological site of Machu Picchu has long been one of the most inspirational destinations for countless travelers. Spaniards first arrived to Peru in the 1530s, with conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Due to heavy Spanish influence for many decades, much of the architecture in present-day Cusco is a mix of Inca and Spanish design.

Prime property in Germany's major cities and most desirable second home markets is reaching new price highs. Hobookenweg in Kampen on the island of Sylt remains the most expensive street to live on. A thatched house with panoramic North Sea views sold here for around 73,300 euros per square metre during the period under review (2014/2015). These are the results of the ranking of Germany's most exclusive residential locations, just released by Engel & Völkers. "Each address featured in the ranking is a unique micro-location. On Sylt, for example, building plots are very rare, so top properties are few in number. High quality standards and amenities are important, but it is often the rarity of the land plot that gives a property such a unique price tag. Sales like this can far exceed average market valuations," said Kai Enders, Member of the Board of Engel & Völkers AG.
Am Kaiserkai in Hamburg is currently the second most expensive street in Germany, at a price per square metre of around 31,500 euros. It is followed by Bavaria's state capital Munich in third place. A luxury mansion was sold here on Thomas-Mann-Allee for approx. 25,000 euros per square metre.
Berlin occupies fourth place on the list. The German capital is attracting more and more interested international buyers from London, New York and the Côte d'Azur. This can be attributed to its political and cultural development, as well as the high level of building activity. Top prices per square metres have jumped as a result by 7,000 euros over the last two years to 22,000 euros. This valuation is currently being recorded by Engel & Völkers on Hausvogteiplatz.
In fifth place is the city of Cologne on the River Rhine. In the exclusive "Gerling Quartier" in the city centre, a 330-square-metre penthouse in the newly refurbished and listed "Haus Gerling" sold for approx. 17,000 euros per square metre.
The highest priced homes on the island of Norderney are currently new developments with sea views in the prime location Viktoriastrasse. Since 2013, top prices per square metre have risen here by around 4,800 euros to approx. 16,000 euros. This puts the East Frisian Island in sixth place in the ranking.
Tegernsee in Germany's Alpine region is one of the most popular leisure and holiday destinations in Bavaria. Its main assets include proximity to Munich, sporting and cultural amenities on offer all year round, and the beautiful scenery with its lakes and mountains. Properties in the desirable town of Rottach-Egern are reaching around 15,000 euros per square metre. This puts Tegernsee in seventh place in the ranking.
Engel & Völkers sold a penthouse on Strandpromenade in Binz in August 2015 for approx. 14,000 euros per square metre. This is by far the highest price per square metre ever reached for a home on the island of Rügen. This puts the Baltic Sea resort in joint eighth place with the financial centre Frankfurt. On the road named Oberlindau in the city's Westend district, a luxury apartment in the "Onyx" complex overlooking the cityscape changed owners for around the same price per square metre.
Düsseldorf and the North Frisian Island of Föhr are ranked in joint ninth place, with a top valuation of approx. 13,500 euros per square metre. Top-end homes on Altestadt in the western German city and on Stockmannsweg in Wyk on Föhr were both sold in this price bracket.
Around 12,500 euros per square metre were paid for a newly built apartment on Fischbuchet in Berg on the banks of Lake Starnberg, placing the sought-after first home market in tenth place.
Another East Frisian Island secures 11th place: Juist. A luxurious residence on Wilhelmstrasse achieved a price high of approx. 12,000 euros per square metre.
The most expensive properties in Stuttgart are located on the residential road known as Am Bismarckturm, where buyers have paid up to 10,800 euros per square metre for exclusive homes. This valuation places Stuttgart in 12th place.
Ranked in 13th place is Constance on the banks of Lake Constance. Its location between Germany and Switzerland makes it a desirable location for first and second homes. A price per square metre of approx. 10,500 euros was recorded on Alpsteinweg. The same sale value was achieved for a modern residential complex on Strandallee in the beach resort of Timmendorfer Strand.
The street Seepromenade in the Baltic Sea town of Warnemünde and the centre of the spa town Baden-Baden come in joint 14th place. Maximum prices per square metre were approx. 10,000 euros for new developments with sea views in Warnemünde and for prestigious properties on Lichtentaler Allee.
Not every property in a prime location will be sold at the maximum prices quoted in the ranking. The analysis carried out by Engel & Völkers focuses on absolutely exceptional locations and properties, which meet the very highest standards in terms of location, features and comfort. Only a fraction of the property transactions in the individual locations achieve the top prices cited in this analysis. Since properties in this highly exclusive market sector only rarely come onto the market, these top prices naturally cannot be confirmed or exceeded every year.

Men's ice hockey hands out postseason awards
The Hamilton College men's ice hockey team held their annual awards banquet at Nola's Restaurant in Clinton on the evening of April 18, 2013.
Joe Quattrocchi '14 was selected the 2013 Most Valuable Player. The goaltender posted an .897 save percentage and a 3.25 goals against average. Quattrocchi played more than 1,300 minutes between the pipes, started 24 games and recorded one shutout. Heading into his final year, Quattrocchi needs just 62 saves to move into fifth place on the program's all-time list.
Evan Haney '14 received the Albert I. Prettyman Award for the second consecutive year. The award is presented in memory of Albert Prettyman, who was the founder of Hamilton hockey and the College's first hockey coach from 1918 to 1943. He was also the U.S. Olympic Coach in 1936. This award is presented to the player who demonstrated outstanding dedication, determination and desire. His attitude has proven to not only be an asset to his team, but an inspiration to his teammates and coaches.
Kenny Matheson '16 received the Coaches Award, which is given to the player who the coaching staff believed had a strong season and impacted the game in a positive and significant manner. Matheson played in the first four games before he missed the next 16 due to injury. The forward came back with a vengeance and tallied seven points on two goals and five assists in the final five games.
Patrick Sen '15 and Brian Infante '13 shared the Most Improved Player Award, which is given to the player(s) who showed great dedication to improve his game throughout the season or from the previous season. Sen appeared in 20 games and finished with two assists. Infante stepped into a starting role on defense and passed out a career-high four assists.
Cam Gibbar '13 received the Michael S. White Award, which is given to a graduating senior in recognition of team spirit, leadership and integrity, and whose enthusiasm for the game makes it a great experience for all players. Gibbar played in 16 games and made 10 starts in goal over his four-year career.
Andrew White '13 received the Sellers Award. The award is presented to the player who, in the judgment of his teammates and coaches, has contributed greatly to the success of the program through his effort and performance both on and off the ice. The defenseman was the only graduating senior that appeared in all 101 games since he arrived on campus. White wrapped up his career with seven goals and 29 assists.
Marko Brelih '16 received Rookie of the Year honors. This award is given to the freshman who made the most impact to the success of the team in his first season. Brelih racked up multiple postseason accolades, including a 2013 NESCAC All-Conference second team honor and a 2013 Division III United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) All-Rookie Team selection. He ranked third in the NESCAC in defenseman scoring and tied for second in rookie scoring with 20 points on seven goals and 13 assists.

The Coraid servers are fairly inexpensive, variously support 4, 16 or 24 drives depending on model, and will accept any drives you care to throw in it. Coraid has been very good about this in the past, although they do maintain a list of problematic drives they recommend against using. That said, they will sell you a 'certified' drive if you want one. Performance is decent, especially given the price/capacity ratio. It does not need to be fully populated either, so you can grow into the system over time. The AoE protocol is well supported in Linux, (and theoretically other OSes, but I've not tested those). I also agree with using the built-in RAID abilties instead of using it as a JBOD--the rebuild times are murder. Coraid also provide tools to "extract" your data from bare drives in an emergency situation as well. >gerry > >Rahul Nabar wrote: >> Discussions that I read on this list in the last couple of months >> tempt me to do away with hardware RAID entirely for a new >> mini-storage-project I have to do.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating over and over and over again: I adore working with the great Renaissance E Books/Sizzler Editions.
Not only have they brought back into print pretty much all of my queer books under the very special M. Christian ManLove Collection:
- and now, they'd released - as I've mentioned - a brand new edition of my Lambda-finalist collection Dirty Words
But that's not all! Check out this absolutely fantastic video spot they just released for the whole collection!

"While 3DR is a much smaller studio now, we will continue to operate as a company and continue to license and co-create games based upon the Duke Nukem franchise," it said in a release.The full issued press release can be read over on Shacknews.
"Take-Two never paid 3DR advances or any signing bonus or any other funds related to DNF, up until July 2008, at which time they paid $2.5m in connection with another agreement for an unannounced game," added the company. "This is the sum total Take-Two has paid 3DR in connection with DNF."
Wrecked: 3D Realms fights back.
Bryn says: I wonder just how far this train wreck will limp along before it finally derails and explodes? It's interesting to hear that 3D Realms isn't done and dusted at this point, and that the company intends to keep making Duke-related games. Note how it says it will "co-create" though.
As for Duke Nukem Forever, well, I still think it's completely hosed at this point.

BIRON THAT .lEWISH ARMY We wonder where Broadway columnist Danton Waliter got this story, which he published In his column lasl wcelt ... "A story is due to breal< soon", he announced, "ahout an under¬ ground Jewish army operating in Palestine, numbering ahout 10,000 fully equipped men, with a reserve of 1.5.000 others, ready to defend their homeland when the time comes . . . Their arms, the story goes, wore liought from the Arabs" . . . The story, of course, is pure (if not itosher) baloney . . . The official Zionist leadership still contends that nothing can he done ahout a Jewish army before the British government permits its forma¬ tion . . . The New ZionLst Organi¬ zation, on the other hand, be- heves ihat Great Britain's hand must be forred by .lewish action .... So before long the New Zion¬ ist Organization is going to start a registration campaign in this country asl<ing Jewish youths whether they would volunteer in a Jewish army providing their draft obligations and U. S. Gov¬ ernment regulations permit . . . The Revisionist leaders think that if a sufficient number of Jews signify their intention of joining up, British official circles ¦.vWUl'iBoye.. faster on^the whole - blitzltrleg against Russia, he will sponsor the most stupendous pogroms in Jewish history ... This in line with his promise to "save" Russia by exterminating her "Jewish Communists" . . . Incidentally, don't miss Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver's chapter about Jewish life in the Soviet Union, in his book "The World Crisis and Jewish Survival" . . . It is a courageous, sincere ap¬ praisal which many of the rabid Zionist antl-Sovietists will find far from pleasing . . . We tion't, as a rule, have much ct)nfidence in Mr. Wythe Williams' predic¬ tions or "private information" We hope, however, that he was right the other day when he an¬ nounced that he itnows that Julius Streicher, anti-Semite Number One of Nazlland, has been executed . . . And when he told us that Mr Hitler is a virtual prisoner in the hands of the German army we fervently murmured: "Allowei" . . . Mem¬ bers of the Nazi embassy staff at Washington are taking bets that the Red Army will have ceased to be a military factor by July 27th . . They've found few American military experts ready to risk their money by taking up such a wager, but it is said that several Soviet embassy staff members have, through stooges, placed quite a bit of money on the proposition that July 27th wiii see the Russo- German-war in a still undecided state . . . Right here, incidentally, we want to remark that we don't like Danton Walker's re¬ mark about the "biilzkrieg" be¬ tween Russia and Germany . . . It sounds like a crack that might have originated in Bund¬ lst circles . . . SCREKN SHADOWS The best line on Hitler's at¬ tack on Russia comes frOm Hollywood ...

Says Defense Program Has Not Curbed Civil Liberties As the current United Jewish Fund Drive entered its third wcelt, all indications point tliat less than 20% of tho quota remains to be raised. Despite the intense heat, the worlters in the Men's, Women's and Junior divisions arc intensifying their efforts to attain their goal within the next ten days. Urgent picas were renewed to the Jews of Columbus this week by Campaign Chairman, Robert Schiff, to make every effort to subscribe the full amouiit set for the 1!)41 drive. These funds, he said, arc needed at once to meet the imperative needs overseas, in Palestine, for the refugees in America, and for the various other cul¬ tural, protective and educational national agencies to which this drive contributes. Resitonsihility for the success or failure of this drive rests not on our hands or on the hands ot Ihe voluntary workers, who have sn graciously and conRcientiousl,v Riven of their time, but squarely and direct ly nn the entire Jewish (Ommunity here." Mr. Schiff de- dared. '¦Man.v men and women here", he contlnuefl. "seem to feel that this appeal does not affect them closely, as it is for outside needs. Hut I want lo say right here and now. that the condition of the .lewish people in Europe and i'.'ilestine directly affects every¬ one of us here. Disregarding the fact that eac^h one of us in Colum¬ lius holds in his own hands the fate of one or more of his breth¬ ren in the terrible ghettos of Europe, the destruction of the Jewry of Europe and Palestine will make It impossible for the Je\v3^,pi America and the West- Jews we'cah nlvly survlv^if oS?- brethren abroad survive Once let us forget our duties aiid obli¬ gations as Jews to our brethren, and we perish as Jews," conclud¬ ed Mr. Schiff.

Deter¬ mined to answer the Nazi blitz¬ krieg of terror against tbe Jew¬ ish rieopie and democracy with concrete action, twenty Jewish communities oversubscrib¬ ed their quotas during the "past fortnight in all-out drives for the unifietl war emergency effort in behalf of the Joint Distribution Committee, the Uniled Palestine Appeal and the National Refugee Service. Reports reaching the national headquarters of the United Jew¬ ish Appeal indicate that during the month of June American Jewry achieved a new high in mobilizing Itself to bring hope and help to harassed Jews In European lands, to the Jewish community of Palestine and to the refugees In the United States. The over-the-top results in im portant communities throughout the country this year were con sidered especially encouraging since the quotas In almost all of them had been set at a higher mark than In any other previous campaign.
