Fighting on All Fronts

Arlene from Israel

I’ve alluded to some of this already, but want to return to look in some more detail at the various “fronts” we are dealing with in this conflict.

I wrote yesterday about the fact that Hamas fights “dirty,” and that we will never lower ourselves to their level. But what we do have to do is contend with that dirty fighting.

There are two aspects to this. The first is the use of human shields — the storage in and launching of rockets from civilian areas, which puts Israel in the impossible position of either avoiding air attack on certain sites or risking considerable civilian damage. This, in spite of surgical strikes, warnings to the populace, etc.

As The Israel Project put it:

“Hamas has turned hospitals, homes, schools, and mosques into military bases…”

See here rockets being fired from a civilian area:

An enormous amount of intelligence work by Israel went into locating the sites of rocket storage. We know where the rockets, especially long-range rockets, and missiles are. They are not “hidden,” in that sense. But this human shield aspect makes taking them out sometimes very difficult.

The simple logic of the situation tell me that this is why we’ve amassed troops and tanks at the Gaza border. Not for an escalated operation intended to take down Hamas completely or re-take Gaza, but because it may be impossible to remove those rockets and missiles and related terrorist infrastructure by air without unacceptable levels of civilian causalities. If we cannot do what we need to do by air, we may send in troops. (More on the possibility of a ground operation below.)

The other part of the “dirty” fighting is utilization by Hamas of the media and left wing NGOs to propagate images of an aggressive Israel deliberately hitting poor innocents in Gaza. Unfortunately, the media and those NGOs, substantially predisposed against Israel, are more than ready to cooperate by telling these stories, which lack balance and context. Which lie.

Here is one stunning example of a lie that was believed:
“A dead Gazan child, whose picture made world media headlines claiming him to be a victim of an Israeli airstrike, appears to have been killed by a Hamas rocket that fell short of its target, landing inside Gaza instead of Israel, according to evidence brought to light by…blogger Elder of Ziyon. []

“…International publications including CNN and Britain’s Mirror ran the tragic images of Egypt’s Prime Minister Hisham Kandil, Hamas terror chief Ismail Haniyeh and others cradling the dead child, and the media outlets explicitly blamed Israel for the child’s death.

“‘Egypt’s Prime Minister wept today as he kissed the forehead of a boy killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza,’ reads the Mirror’s caption under the photo. CNN reporter Sara Sidner referred to the boy as ‘another victim of an [Israeli] air strike.'”

But when Yiftah Shapir, a ballistics expert who is the Director of the Middle East Military Balance Project at the Institute for National Security Studies in Israel, studied CNN’s video footage of the explosion, what he saw were “a lot of small holes.”

“It is reasonable to say that this damage is from a relatively small explosion at close range…If it was a very heavy bomb the damage would be worse, and at long range the shrapnel would be spread much more widely because of the long distance.”

The IDF denies that it had carried out any strikes at the time the child was hit, in the area where he was.

Please see at the bottom of this Algemeiner piece a video of the vile anti-Israel CNN report.

This tactic enormously exacerbates diplomatic pressure on Israel. People believe what they are reading about the evils of the Israel self-defense operation and conclude that we must be forced to stop to save the poor Palestinian Arabs of Gaza.

The French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, is due here today, and UN Sec.-Gen. Ban on Wednesday. This is in addition to phone communication between Netanyahu and other leaders, most significantly President Obama and including German Chancellor Andrea Merkel. And there’s more to come, rest assured.

Israel has been waging a PR war of its own, and putting out videos presenting the Israeli side. But, as this front is often the most difficult to fight, I implore you to help get the facts out wherever you can. Information you can use follows:

Israel is so careful about civilian life that sometimes an operation is aborted because civilians are observed entering the area intended for attack.

A story about this here:

“…in the early hours of the morning, a squadron of intelligence collecting aircraft took to the sky. Through sophisticated observation equipment and cameras the pilots were able to identify a rocket launch, and Air Force aircraft were sent to strike the area. But things didn’t go as planned. ‘We saw that innocent civilians were approaching the area of the underground launch site,’ said Lt. Omer, a source within the intelligence squadron who took part in the operation. ‘We immediately contacted the forces and instructed them to abort the strike.'”

Here you have more complete information from the IDF on how we minimize harm to civilians:

Read this and share it, it’s amazing. Not only pinpoint targeting, and leaflets of warning in Arabic and phone calls warning people of strikes imminent in their area. There is also sometimes diversion of a missile on its way to strike. And there is “roof knocking”: a non-lethal bomb is exploded on the roof of a building where weapons or ammunition are stored, which warns people to flee the building before the target is hit by live ammunition.

Col. Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces testified at the UN in 2010 about IDF behavior, following Israel’s last action in Gaza.

The IDF, he said, “did more to safeguard the lives of civilians in a combat zone than any other military force in history.”

See and share the video of his testimony, which addresses Hamas tactics and lies.

Then there is information from the IDF on our right to defend ourselves:

Hamas is sworn to the destruction of Israel. This blog page provides videos of people, ostensibly “religious leaders,” who incite in their sermons and provide “religious justification for unimaginable depravity.”

Israel still supplies Gaza with 70% of its electric power. I have been asked by several readers why we don’t just cut off that power. Legally we are within our right to do so. But it seems fairly clear to me that we refrain doing so because this would not be a pinpoint targeted action: all Gazans would suffer from that lack of electricity. And while this would be a non-lethal approach, it would open us further to accusations of being a cruel state that fosters the suffering of innocent civilians.

It should be noted that today Israel opened the Keren Shalom Crossing into Gaza to allow in humanitarian supplies. Every effort is being made to ensure that civilians are not affected by the conflict any more than absolutely necessary.

There are repeated reports of some Hamas willingness to agree to a ceasefire now. But that “willingness” — conveyed by third parties and via the media — carries conditions. Once again I’m seeing a demand that we stop the sea blockade of Gaza, and promise not to do targeted killings, even if we have evidence of someone who is preparing or involved in an attack.

As might be expected, PM Netanyahu dismisses out of hand any ceasefire proposal that carries conditions.

I hold my breath, with the prayer that Netanyahu will remain strong and stay the course until what needs to be done is completed. What is needed is the elimination of the Hamas capacity to attack us.

The involvement of the tough-talking Foreign Minister Lieberman is reassuring in this regard. As Likud and Yisrael Beitenu are supposed to run as a unified list in the election, Netanyahu cannot unduly cross Lieberman.

As of today, Israel has hit 1,000 targets in Gaza. There is no question but that the long-range rockets and missiles supplied by Iran have been taken out to some considerable extent. But what is evident is that they have not all been taken out yet: Today another rocket was shot at Tel Aviv.

Yesterday, the Daily Beast ran with a report, based on information from US sources only, that Netanyahu and Obama had spoken and the prime minister had assured the president that there would not be a ground incursion into Gaza unless the rocket attacks were escalated or there were serious injury to Israelis in the course of an attack.

This latter brings me close to apoplexy. For there exists the same justification for hitting in Gaza if Hamas has the capacity to cause serious injury, even if such a tragedy has not occurred (yet). That we should need to wait for it to occur before acting is unconscionable, in my opinion.

But in the end I give this report scant credence. The US does not want Israel to initiate a ground operation. Obama has made this quite clear. He speaks about supporting our right to defend ourselves, but would hesitate to give us the latitude to actually do so.

Today, at the weekly Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu said (emphasis added):

“We are exacting a heavy price from Hamas and the [other] terrorist organizations, and the IDF is prepared for a significant expansion of its operations.”

And, reports Israel Hayom, “One possible sign of this were reports from Arab and international media outlets that the IDF had taken over the radio frequencies in Gaza and was broadcasting warnings to residents living near the Israel border to move away.”

In addition, we have a report from the JPost today regarding suggestions from some members of Likud that Netanyahu is thinking of moving back the Likud primaries, coming soon, and possibly even the election in January, if the action in Gaza continues. This suggests some expectation that it will not be over soon.

However, Minister of Security Affairs Moshe Ya’alon (Likud) wrote on Twitter, “If there is quiet in the south and no rockets and missiles are fired at Israel’s citizens, nor terrorist attacks engineered from the Gaza Strip, we will not attack.” This bewilders me, as he seems to be pulling back and ignoring the goals of the operation.

And reports that:

“An Israeli official landed in Cairo on Sunday for Egypt-mediated truce talks with Hamas to end the Gaza crisis, Egyptian security officials said.”

True? We cannot trust the Egyptians as honest brokers. Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil just visited Gaza a couple of days ago, in a show of solidarity.

But on the other hand, we have the comments at the Cabinet meeting of Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beitenu):

“We are not yet at the point of a cease-fire. A cease-fire now would be a serious mistake. The goals of the operation must be achieved at any price, even with a ground incursion, if it can’t be avoided. We can’t repeat the mistakes of the past, when we stopped operations in the middle, before ensuring that we had destroyed the terrorist infrastructure and before ensuring that…they could no longer smuggle weapons. This matter requires perseverance and patience.” (Emphasis added)

“Ensuring they could no longer smuggle weapons.” Another related issue, which I will not address today, if at all I can yet.

And last week, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz appeared before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and told them:

“In the past year and a half, all of the combat troops have undergone training on mission-related models to prepare them for a ground operation. The sense that we are getting from the soldiers is, ‘Let us in.'”

According to Israel Hayom, “It appears that senior IDF officers, among them Gantz, believe that if a diplomatic solution cannot be reached, a ground operation would be required, which according to the plan would be conducted on a larger scale than Operation Cast Lead.

“GOC Southern Command Maj. Gen. Tal Russo said: ‘We have a plan in place that is incremental in its use of force. In Gaza there is a huge arsenal of weapons and missiles, and we will have to take care of it with whatever means necessary. The Fajr missile threat has mainly been destroyed, but there could be several more here and there.'”

A few final thoughts before closing:

Hamas is using long-range rockets from Iran, and operates at the behest of Iran. Our battle here extends far beyond Gaza.

Hezbollah, which is, similarly, an Iranian proxy, is following the happenings in Gaza closely because they have critical implications for this group. They are stepping with caution at the moment and there are reports surfacing of some doubts among Hezbollah leadership as to whether targeting Israel at Iran’s behest would be in its best interest.

Iran is proceeding with its nuclear development and President Obama is hoping, ludicrously, to proceed with “negotiations” with the Iranians. Something else to be visited in short order.

Please see the very supportive resolutions from the Senate and the House:

And as I write, the troops continue to amass at the Gaza border.

The right-wing message machine just got the word out to The New York Times, but it was the wrong word:

Critics From Base See Romney Pulling Punches on 'Nice Guy' Obama

... 'He's a nice guy." Those were Mr. Romney's words last month at a campaign stop in Fort Lupton, Colo., where he added, for good measure, "I don't have a problem with the man personally."

... his measured portrayal of the president himself ... has stirred some concerns among fellow Republicans who are eager, after nearly four years of an Obama administration, to see the president demonized.

... In an essay on National Review Online titled "No More 'Mr. Obama is a Nice Guy,'" Michelle Malkin, a conservative commentator, worried about what she called "this disastrous, bend-over bipartisanship" ...

And at a rally of supporters last month in Omaha, a stern looked of disagreement crossed the face of Mary Vinzant, 69, when Mr. Romney told the crowd that Mr. Obama was a "nice guy." ...

"Nice guys don't destroy our country like Obama has done," Ms. Vinzant said in an interview after the speech. "I hate it when Romney says that. He's not a nice guy."

Wait -- wasn't BuzzFeed just telling us yesterday that Romney is winning over the base by being so damn nasty and aggressive? How did exactly the opposite message get into the Times?

I have a theory: the Romney campaign is working the refs, but it isn't working all the refs. This may be because the Romney campaign is staffed by movement conservatives. If you lurk in the online universe of movement conservatism, you know that wingers praise "new media" (their sites) and detest "old media" (or, as they like to say, "legacy media"). BuzzFeed, which clearly got worked this week by the Romney campaign, is "new media." Politico, which ran a shamelessly pro-Romney article a couple of days ago titled "To GOP, Blatant Bias in Vetting," is also "new media." Furthermore, the Politico story, which seemed to have been spoon-fed by the Romney campaign, ascribed bias to outlets of the "old media" such as The New York Times and The Washington Post. If that's the message the Romney campaign wants to spread, it seems as if the campaign is actively blowing off those refs and refusing to work them.

If I'm right about this, then the campaign may be making a strategic mistake. Movement conservatives may sequester "new media" and "legacy media" into separate pigeonholes, and dream of the day when the old media is destroyed, but most voters just use their computers and phones and tablets to skip from the Times to Twitter to blogs to Politico and back again -- the political news world is fairly flat.

And while the opinion section of the Times, say, has some fairly strong liberal voices (especially in the main editorials and Krugman's column), the boys and girls on the campaign bus have always shown a willingness to go native -- they could be worked. So the Romney campaign is missing an opportunity. If the campaign really wants to turn the old media into the enemy, some unpleasant stories are going to run.

In the past, Republicans attacked the "liberal media" in public while seducing them in private -- think George W. Bush giving Frank Bruni a coveted nickname in 2000. That's how you do it. Maybe Romney's people aren't trying.

OR: Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Maybe "Romney restrains himself" is what you want to sell to Times readers, even as you sell "Romney kicks ass" to BuzzFeed readers. But I'm not sure there's much of a line between the two readerships.

And maybe I'm misreading the process of ref-working. The Politico article attacked The Washington Post for running the Romney bullying story. That's ref-working with a stick rather than a carrot. But why would that intimidate the Post? That story earned the Post a lot of eyeballs -- is the paper really going to stop running traffic-building stories to appease a challenger who's struggling to break par in the polls? Even if a lot of people on the paper prefer him? The fact that the story ran at all shows that at least some corners of the paper aren't afraid to displease Romney.

Just how fecked-up a guy who marries someone as fecked-up and nasty as Michelle Malkin?

Maybe he's good at (not to be sexist, but the word's are perfect to describe her) taming that shrew.

What a nasty piece of work that witch is.

"Michelle, you've had a couple of drinks, should we hail a cab, or can you drive that broom back, since I've never gotten a hold of flying that thing?"

Following a most successful meeting this evening with the solicitors of Ward Hadaway in Newcastle, the draft copy of the share issue was presented in full and comprehensive content. It is proposed by Ward Hadaway that it is registered under the rules of the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965 - 1978, and that it satisfies all aspects of the legal requirements of the Government Financial Services Agency. In so doing it potentially safeguards the future of the club as envisaged by the Supporters Association. It is intended now to proceed in the immediate future with its launch into the public domain to exploit and hopefully realise its full potential, to generate the additional funds required to purchase the outright ownership of a permanent home for the club.

Let the project start
Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 12:19 pm

This is a reply to the Minteners about the renovations for Main Street in Canton. If they had not stopped the bypass back in the early 1970s, Canton would not have the traffic problems they have had for the past 40 years. So they should quit crying and let this project get started.

Española Mayoral Election

The Española election won't occur till next year, but their are a few rumors to who will run for Mayor. Current Mayor Joe Maestas may not run for re-election due to the fact he is looking for higher offices. Maestas ran for Public Regulation Commission in 2008 to replace Ben Ray Lujan, who ran for Congress. Maestas lost in a six-way race, including himself, to Jerome Block Jr., son of former Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Sr. Block Sr. had been previously on the State Corporation Commission, the predecessor to the Public Regulation Commission. Block Sr.'s. father the late John Block had been on the Corporation Commission in the late 50's. John Block was mayor of Española before being elected to the Corporation Commission. Now if you see there is a connection between the two. Anyway Maestas is rumored to run for a higher office, maybe County Commissioner. Current County Commissioner Dist. 1 Elias Coriz will have to leave the commission in 2010 due to term limits. It is rumored Mayor Pro Tem Alice Lucero will run to replace Maestas. Lucero was City Clerk in the early 90's and famous because she sued the city for a large undisclosed amount of money. Lucero won and in 2002 was elected to the City Council. Lucero is a sister to the late Connie Valdez, whom was a school board member who passed away and was succeeded by Joe Romero (see below post). Lucero also is a sister to Bennie Alarid-Salazar whom her late husband Eutimio "Tim" Salazar was a 18 year member of the school board. Tim Salazar was the younger brother of John Block (mentioned earlier in post). Fairview Elementary in Española was later renamed Eutimio "Tim" Salazar Elementary. Now as I said there is a another connection between the names of all the people mentioned above. Who knows what the election year of 2010 has in store for us all.

ScotteVest Revolution Plus Jacket Review: Pockets, Protection & Warmth

When it comes to outerwear, the ultimate gadget lovers coat has to have the ScotteVest name on it and pockets all over. The new Revolution Plus Jacket is the latest cold weather coat from ScotteVest that replaces the Evolution Plus and provides a jacket that doesn’t just allow you to carry your gear, it keeps you warm and is comfortable too.

The Revolution Plus jacket is $200 and has 26 pockets, including a special PadPocket that holds an iPad or laptop. In addition to this large and impressive pocket, the Revolution Plus has two that have cleartouch enclosures which allow you to use your cell phone, a pocket that spans the back of the device and many more to hold specific items like memory cards, ID or travel documents. Other notable features include a removable hood and a removable sleeves. Check out the X-Ray image below for a more detailed look at the pockets.

The ScotteVest Revolution Plus coat echoes the experience we’ve had with other ScotteVest items like the Fleece 5.0 in that all of the pockets have a specific use and even if we aren’t using every pocket all of the time we still enjoy having pockets where we want them that hold specific gadgets just like we would want them to. The real magic of a ScotteVest isn’t that it has so many pockets, it’s that the pockets do what you want them to.

In our use of the PadPocket, we definitely felt that it is best suited for the iPad, not a laptop — even though you can carry a light laptop there in a pinch. One thing worth mentioning is that with the iPad in our pocket and the coat zipped up we had a few odd movements and bulges when walking up stairs due to the way the iPad sits in the jacket. This didn’t detract from the joy we experienced by taking the iPad and papers for class from one building to the other on campus without exposing them to the elements. This left our hands free to stay warm in pockets or check email on our phone.

ScotteVest Revolution Plus Jacket Review Video:

Warmth and Protection:

We were a bit concerned that we wouldn’t have enough variation in weather to put the Revolution Plus to the test given our warm and mild fall, but this past week has allowed us to wear the jacket in cold rain, snow and windy weather. In all elements we were happy with the results. In the rain moisture beaded up on the outside, keeping our iPad dry and we didn’t have any water seep in at the sleeves.

In the wind and snow, with temps in the 20’s were were just as warm as we were in a Columbia coat which surprised us because the Columbia Jacket has a fleece interior. The Revolution Plus has a quilted interior which adds to the warmth. We will test the jacket out when temps get closer to zero here in Ohio, but we definitely feel that the jacket will keep us warm as we go through our daily activities. If it does get really cold, the XL size we have leaves enough room for a fleece liner for added warmth.

Not only does the Revolution Plus have more than enough pockets, it is also a really comfortable coat that fits well. We especially liked that the sleeves can be snugged up or rolled up when needed. If you are trying to decide what size to get, we recommend trying on a Columbia jacket at a local retailer and ordering a similar size; just make sure you keep in mind the gadgets you want to keep in it.

Value and Conclusions:

Overall the ScotteVest Revolution Plus jacket is a great coat and a great gadget accessory. If you’re looking for the perfect jacket for geeks and gadget lovers you’ve found it. If you’re looking for a great winter coat that can carry your gear and keep you warm this is the jacket for you. Even if you only travel to the office, mall and around town you’ll appreciate the ScotteVest Revolution Plus Jacket.

presented by Salon/Sanctuary Concerts

Saturday, October 26th, 2013 at 8:00 P.M.

The Abigail Adams Smith Auditorium  417 East 61st Street, New York, NY

Berlin’s loss was music’s gain. In 1713, the king of Prussia fired many of his finest musicians, unwittingly sending them into the employ of the court at Cöthen. Upon J.S. Bach’s arrival a few years later, he had a pool of virtuoso instrumentalists at his disposal unlike anything he had worked with before. A rich flowering of instrumental music followed. Monica Huggett will lead New York Baroque Incorporated in orchestral music from Bach’s Cöthen years, when some of the most beloved works of the baroque were produced.

Orchestral Suite No. 2 in A minor, BWV 1067
Violin concerto in A minor, BWV 1041
Concerto for oboe and violin in C minor, BWV 1060

Where Do I Party With Pupu Platters? And Strong Drinks? And, Oh, Mirrors?

Dear Grub Street,
I’m on a quest to find the perfect restaurant venue, so naturally I went straight to the source. A group of fifteen to twenty desperately seeks a Chinese restaurant with over-the-top hokey décor, mirrored walls, and decent food. And strong drinks. Well, the mirrored walls aren’t a requirement, but someplace that will allow semi-raucous, dressed-in-a-theme patrons and hopefully not be more than $25 a head. Does this place exist?

A Continental Airlines jet out of Newark Airport crashed in a fireball into a house in suburban Buffalo late last night, and officials feared all 48 people aboard were killed.

The commuter jet, Continental Flight 3407, reported mechanical problems as it approached Buffalo Niagara International Airport just after 10 p.m., the Buffalo News reported.

“We’ve had multiple fatalities,” a county official told a news conference.

There were conflicting reports on whether anyone on the ground died.

A firefighter, who wouldn’t give his name, told The Toronto Globe and Mail that the mid-sized plane hit the home just after 10 p.m., but that only two people on the ground were injured.

“The people in the house did get out,” the firefighter said.

Firefighters first focused on preventing aircraft fuel from exploding again, and just before midnight, the scene was said to be safe, the firefighter said.

The blaze was under control early this morning.

The flight, operated by Colgan Air, had been scheduled to arrive at 8:48 p.m., but had been delayed. It was set to arrive at around 10:25 p.m.

State Trooper John Manthey said the plane hit a house in the town of Clarence Center at around 10:10 p.m., igniting a huge blaze that spewed thick, choking smoke throughout the area.

Neighbors said the plane came in lower than normal before it crashed into the house.

“This one you knew definitely was very low, and then it was, Boom! like thunder. Very scary,” a woman who lives across from the home the plane hit told the Globe and Mail.

“The house is gone. totally gone,” neighbor Kelly Simkin told a local news station.

“We really think it only landed on one house. It is amazing what this plane maybe could have done.”

Another witness told the Globe and Mail:

“It was just like a movie. You just saw the explosion . . . It’s unbelievable. My heart is still in my throat. I’m still shaking.”

Neighbor Bob Dworak, 52, was at his home around the corner when he heard the boom and felt his home shake.

“We opened the door – you could smell smoke – and the sky was all lit up,” Dworak said. “It looked like the house had just been completely leveled and there were probably flames 50 or 100 feet up in the air.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if bad weather throughout the state was a factor in the crash.

But throughout the day, Buffalo experienced gusty winds, rain and snow, according to local reports.

Don Draper’s rival

Jon Hamm (from left), John Slattery, Kevin Rahm and Harry Hamlin on “Mad Men.” (

Kevin Rahm (

The first time Kevin Rahm stepped into a popular TV series mid-run, he knew he’d be playing a major character. That was in 2005 during CBS’ “Judging Amy.” But Rahm’s next two big TV roles on mature series — gay househusband Lee McDermott on the ABC smash “Desperate Housewives” and, currently, creative rabble-rouser Ted Chaough on the AMC hit “Mad Men” — were originally scoped to be mere guest shots.

“Yeah, ‘Housewives’ and ‘Mad Men’ were both supposed to be ‘a couple of episodes each,’” says Rahm, as he makes himself some morning coffee in his Los Angeles kitchen. “‘Housewives’ turned out to be fiftysomething episodes. And this one will be as many as they let me.”

So might this be Kevin Rahm’s thing? Will he always be the life of the party who charms his way into the host’s guest room…indefinitely? “God I hope so,” Rahm answers. “I guess I’m the parasite that way.”

Actually, in previous seasons, “parasite” is a word lead mad man Don Draper (Jon Hamm) might have used to describe Rahm’s character, a nemesis from a competing ad agency who poached Draper’s accounts along with his best copywriter, Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss). And let’s not even bring up the time Chaough prank-called Draper, channeling the voice of Bobby Kennedy (remember, this was the 1960s — before Caller ID).

This season, though, Chaough evolved from that hard-to-reach leech on Draper’s ass to a modern-thinking partner: Draper and Chaough’s agencies merged to win a new Chevrolet account (which will turn out to be the Chevy Vega, according to Internet carstorians). And Rahm — as Rahm is want to do — graduates to playing a major fully-fleshed character.

AMC is even campaigning to nab Rahm a Supporting Actor Emmy. What kind of dramatics Rahm will perform to deserve such a nomination, he won’t reveal. “Every time I do an interview, I imagine [‘Mad Men’ creator] Matthew Weiner is in the room with me — and he’s giving me really bad looks,” Rahm says of the information-leak-proof-seal enforced by Weiner. As for AMC’s Emmy push, “I would just say that they probably wouldn’t do it unless they thought there was something good coming,” he says.

This much we can already see: As Don Draper lumbers toward the dinosaur wing of the American Museum of Natural History, Ted Chaough evolves with the 1960s, gauging the margarine marketplace with “Gilligan’s Island” castaways; giving his underlings credit where credit’s due; using the word “groovy.” (“I know, right?” Rahm gushes. “It was the first time it was used on the show — that I’m aware of.”)

The strange thing is, Chaough’s not some young upstart — he’s roughly the same age as Draper (Rahm and Draper actor Jon Hamm are both 42). So why is Chaough so late-’60s while Draper’s so early-’60s?

“I think it has to do with their upbringing, their back stories,” says Rahm. “There are really big differences between the two guys. With Draper, I think it has to do with him having to protect himself growing up. Now he’s moving past his age — my favorite was when he put on that Beatles album and was like, ‘What is this?’ Whereas, I think Ted has been freer to be whatever he needs to be.”

So, what then, exactly, is Chaough’s background?

“Yeah, I don’t know,” Rahm answers. “That hasn’t been part of the discussion. And if I did know, I couldn’t tell you.”

What Rahm can tell us relates to what we’ve already seen. “Ted will be a foil for Don in a different way than Don’s had before,” he says. As for a potential romance with Peggy Olson (they’ve already kissed), if you’re like Peggy, Ted may have given you the wrong idea.

“Based on the information we have now, I think that kiss was more out of gratitude,” explains Rahm. “He was in a dark place at that moment —his partner, who helped him create, had cancer. And there was the fear of, without that friend, can he keep doing the work? So when her response was strong, there was so much thankfulness that it was just an inappropriate response to the gratitude. And respect for her work. And she’s a hot girl — C’mon!”

In real life, Rahm has his own hot girl: Amy Lonkar, a pediatric thoracic surgeon he married just over a year ago, thanks to a setup by mutual friends in his native Louisiana. “I married up,” notes Rahm. They wed on a soundstage in Burbank, and you can still peruse their bridal registry.

With “Mad Men” shooting finished for the season, Rahm plans to spend his summer “working on my handicap. Also, Amy’s up for a job, and we don’t know where it’s going to be. So it’ll be nice to have the summer to spend with her and get settled wherever she’s going to be.”

Which means all those TV commercial voiceovers will still be Jon Hamm’s territory. For now, at least.

Collection Overview
Table of contents What's This?
California State University, Northridge, then called San Fernando Valley State College, was a center for the wave of campus unrest and minority protests that rocked the nation during the 1960s and 1970s. Radiating throughout the student body, faculty, campus administration, and greater community, the atmosphere of turmoil bred discord and disruption for the governing agencies within the university system, and within California. The collection consists of "Transcripts on Appeal" for Consolidated Case No. 638182 in the Municipal Court of Los Angeles Judicial District, County of Los Angeles, State of California, Division No. 69, Hon. David L. Mohr, Judge. "The People of the State of California, Plaintiff vs. Stuart Medal, Lance Cutler, Allen Steven Dellefield, et al., Defendants," on April 30, 1969.
The San Fernando Valley campus of Los Angeles State College opened to students in 1956 on land that once produced citrus, avocado, and walnuts. Just two years later, in the fall 1958, that campus became San Fernando Valley State College (SFVSC). With the creation of the CSU system in 1972 SFVSC became California State University, Northridge (CSUN).

Scientists say the fly deposits its eggs into the bee's abdomen, causing the insect to walk around in circles with no apparent sense of direction. The bee exhibits zombie-like behaviour, said lead investigator John Hafernik. The infected bee leaves the hive at night and dies shortly thereafter.

Mike and Eliot

Bouldin over at Daily Gotham thinks Bloomberg will wind up endorsing Eliot Spitzer.

There’s a logic to that: If it’s Spitzer and a GOPer in the general election, it might be hard for him to back the guy promising to fight the court ruling sending money to the city.

But City Hall types say there’s another problem: Mike shares the Street’s dislike of Eliot’s prosecutorial tactics, which have hit a lot of big Bloomberg LP customers. And that’s some kind of bottom line. It may also explain why Tom Suozzi got a seat of honor at the State of the City address.

Christine Quinn Refutes An Assertion About Same Sex Marriage

scoreboard banner2 Christine Quinn Refutes An Assertion About Same Sex MarriagePro-gay marriage groups have made it a priority this election season to take out state Senators who are against marriage equality. They defeated one of their biggest targets, state Senator Bill Stachowski, a Democrat whose conservative positions put him in the crosshairs of many Democratic groups.

But two senators who made their support of marriage equality a central point of their campaign–Lynn Nunes, who ran against Shirley Huntley; and Charlie Ramos, who ran against Ruben Diaz Sr–both lost badly on Tuesday.

But Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has lobbied Albany hard on same sex marriage, doesn’t see a trend.

If you look at the results from Tuesday–Toby Stavisky, a state senator who had a very very aggressive challenger–her opponent ran almost an exclusively anti-choice, anti-marriage campaign…Senator Stavisky was reelected. If you look at the assembly district that used to be Ann Carrozza’s district, that’s a place where a pro-marriage candidate won. If you look at upstate New York, Buffalo-area, the senator there lost who was an anti-marriage senator–so to speak–to a pro-marriage senator. In the Huntley-Nunes race, Nunes did lose. Shirley Huntley won. But that’s one example.

Quinn then joked: “So I refute your initial assertion. And I am right and you are wrong.”

She has noted that campaigns are complicated, and rarely come down to a single issue. It is worth noting as well that challenging an incumbent, even in this so-called anti-incumbent year, is always difficult.

“I believe with all of my heart and soul that the vast majorty of New Yorkers want elected officials who respect and affirm all families and I believe most New Yorkers want people like that in office,” Quinn added. “I believe the trend is for full equality in New York.”

Jim Nelson Led Jury That Found Rapper G. Dep Guilty

113908328 Jim Nelson Led Jury That Found Rapper G. Dep Guilty

Jim Nelson, head juror

GQ editor Jim Nelson was the foreman on the jury that found Trevell Coleman—a.k.a. Bad Boy rapper G Dep—guilty of fatally shooting John Henkel last month.

“I did not want to do jury duty,” Mr. Nelson wrote in his June letter from the editor. “I said a prayer to baby Jesus the night before, asking him to use his baby Jesus powers and to please Lord not let them pick me like they always do.”

Not to impugn Mr. Nelson’s judgment (the man picked our favorite magazine cover featuring iced coffee, after all), but it sounds like a cut-and-dried case. Mr. Coleman confessed to the almost 20-year-old cold case out of nowhere in 2010. He was 18 years old when a botched robbery led Mr. Coleman to shoot Mr. Henkel three times in East Harlem and flee on his bike. Seventeen years later, he walked into a Harlem precinct and waived his Miranda Rights, saying he wanted to tell the story and he needed to know whether the victim lived or died.

“I sometimes wondered if I was fit to judge this man who was capable of acts of public violence and personal honor I couldn’t even imagine having to wrestle with,” Mr. Nelson wrote. “And I’d think: Hasn’t this man suffered enough? He’s done twenty years in his head already. That’s a slower, more infernal form of justice, the interior kind, isn’t it?”

Mr. Coleman, who will be sentenced on Tuesday, faces at least 15 years. He told MTV he has “no ill thoughts towards anybody.”

And we know just the magazine  for his jailhouse tell-all.

Ronald Lauder on the Next Frontier in the Hunt for Nazi-Looted Art

Germany, Switzerland, the Tate and the Norton Simon are the next battlegrounds

The fight for restitution of Nazi-looted art assets is moving into a new phase, and into new territory, according to cosmetics mogul and art collector Ronald Lauder. After years of pursuing treasure-trove assets in Austrian and U.S. museums, the reclamation fight now heads deeper into Germany, he said.

The “next thing” that’s going to happen, explained the collector, who is also the head of the World Jewish Congress, “is that the German government is putting together a panel that is going to look into the provenance, study the provenance, of every work in German museums.”

Will that result in the rediscovery of some masterpieces? “They’ll find something,” he told the Observer. “The great works of art [that are missing] are known.”

“I’ve spent the last 15 years in restitution battles,” Mr. Lauder continued. “Now the real question is Germany—then Switzerland.”

Mr. Lauder spoke to the Observer following a press conference at his Neue Galerie museum in New York for the Helen Mirren film Woman in Gold, which “stars” the painting. The film dovetails neatly with a Klimt exhibition at the Neue that highlights the work and runs through early September. (See related article: The Remarkable Story of the ‘Viennese Mona Lisa’ and It’s Recovery From Nazi Hands)

Meanwhile, Mr. Lauder remains a spokesman in Nazi art disputes and considers the matter, 70 years on, far from resolved, fairly or at all. “Today in German museums there are many, many paintings [that were looted] from German homes. It is extremely difficult” to reclaim them. “Many of them are in Switzerland.”

He added: “Now we are facing a different problem: The statute of limitations.” But these artworks, he said, “are prisoners of war.”

So, what’s next? There’s the Norton Simon, which has refused claims on Lucas Cranach works on the legal grounds that the statute of limitations has run out.“

And the Tate has a [looted] Constable—I don’t know why they won’t give it back,” he said. “They should.”

District and School Report Cards Home

 2014-15 Accountability Updates

In May 2015, the Governor signed SB 67, also known as “the pause bill.” The following document summarizes key points about the bill as it relates to school and district accountability and Educator Effectiveness (EE) for the 2014-15 school year.

What are District and School Report Cards?

As part of the new state accountability system, reflected in Wisconsin’s approved ESEA Flexibility Request, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has produced report cards for every district and school in Wisconsin. These Report Cards provide data on multiple indicators for four Priority Areas:

  • Student Achievement – performance on the WKCE and WAA-SwD in reading and mathematics
  • Student Growth – improvement over time on the WKCE in reading and mathematics
  • Closing Gaps – progress of student subgroups in closing gaps in reading and mathematics performance and/or graduation rates
  • On-track and Postsecondary Readiness – performance on key indicators of readiness for graduation and postsecondary pursuits, whether college or career

Performance on three Student Engagement Indicators is also reported. These three indicators affect student success and school effectiveness.

  • Test Participation Rate, with a goal of 95 percent test participation for all students and each subgroup.
  • Absenteeism Rate, with a goal of 13 percent or less.
  • Dropout Rate, with a goal of six percent or less.

A district's or school’s Overall Accountability Score places the district or school into one of five Overall Accountability Ratings:

  • Significantly Exceeds Expectations
  • Exceeds Expectations
  • Meets Expectations
  • Meets Few Expectations
  • Fails to Meet Expectations

For more detailed information about the creation and scoring for the report cards see the resources listed below and additional information available on the about Wisconsin accountability webpage.

What resources are available that explain the School Report Card?

In order to assist with building understanding and communicating about the School Report Cards, DPI created the following resources:

2013-14 Resources

2012-13 Resources

2011-12 Resources

More information about Wisconsin’s new accountability system is available here: http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/accountability.

Questions and comments about the Public District and School Report Cards may be sent to oeamail@dpi.wi.gov. DPI is committed to ongoing review of the new accountability system and your input is welcome.

OESH Goes West and Comes Back to More Amazing Natural Occurrences

Last weekend we took a quick jaunt to Arches National Park in Utah, near Grand Junction, Colorado, where we helped celebrate a friend’s wedding.

We went for a run in the park.

Casey had a chance to put her feet up but couldn’t stop working on OESH. Here’s a picture she took of the new OESH sports sandal she’s been working on. What do you think?

During the week back at home, Casey focused on getting the computer controlled milling machine hooked up and turned on. No small task — it took her the better part of the week to get it running and then, fortunately, powered back down before a big unexpected storm came in that caused substantial power outage in Virginia.Trees came down all over Charlottesville. This one that got uprooted in our yard has to be at least 200 years old. The trunk is about four feet in diameter. Fortunately, it landed in the woods where there were no people or houses. Those settlers knew what they were doing, clearing those trees around the houses!

2 Responses to OESH Goes West and Comes Back to More Amazing Natural Occurrences

  1. Alison Bullock says:

    I love the look of your new sandal! I came across your brand through reading “Save Yourself”, the PF edition specifically. I currently wear Mephisto sandals, and my feet often hurt more after wearing them, than walking around barefoot. I am a chronic PF sufferer, and am intrigued by your shoes and sandals. (I also ran for one year before my feet told me to shove it). Thank you for the work you continue to do to soften the blow of simply taking steps each day. Do you currently ship to Canada?

    • Bob says:

      Heh Alison!
      Thanks so much for your note–it’s also excellent to see you found us via Save Yourself, as Casey thinks the world of Paul Ingersoll! We certainly DO ship to Canada–it’s only $20 and they’ll be on your doorstep via first class delivery, asap. We’ve had such tremendous feedback from our OESHers, you can’t go wrong in either our all purpose shoes (Classic or Lizard) or the Sandals–it’s interesting that a huge % of OESHers actually own both. Psyched you are going to become an OESHer, too…and if you have more questions, ask away!
      All best wishes,

Yamaha ATV and SxS Vehicles Have Industry’s Best Drivetrain Durability

by Off-Road Hub Mag | Posted on Monday, August 15th, 2011

Third Party Study Proves Yamaha’s Longstanding Claim of Most Durable CVT Transmission

yamahaCYPRESS, CA – August 15, 2011 –Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., has long touted its ATV and Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles as being the toughest of their kind, and now a third party study conducted by ADP Lightspeed has proved that claim.  More specifically, the ADP Lightspeed study shows that Yamaha has the most durable belt driven drivetrain in the industry.

“A lot of companies say they make the toughest ATVs, but now Yamaha can clearly prove that claim in our CVT transmission system,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and SxS group marketing manager.  ”The ADP study proves once and for all that our vehicles have the best CVT drivetrain reliability in the industry.”

Yamaha’s claim is based specifically on an ADP Lightspeed competitive comparison study of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) belt components reported in warranty and non-warranty repair order records for 2007 to 2010 model year CVT belt-driven 4×4 ATVs with engines 400cc and above.

Yamaha’s reliable Ultramatic® automatic transmission system features an exclusive centrifugal clutch that allows the drive belt to remain under constant tension providing a key point of durability – something that sets it apart from competing models.  Also exclusive to Yamaha’s Ultramatic system is the one way sprag clutch that not only aides in durability but provides the most natural feeling four wheel engine braking for maximum traction and rider confidence.  This exclusive system is used in Yamaha’s toughest, most off-road capable ATVs and SxS vehicles including the Grizzly 700 ATV, Grizzly 550 ATV, Grizzly 450 ATV and Rhino 700 SxS vehicle.

A video on Yamaha’s website demonstrates how the Ultramatic system works as compared to the competition:

A global curriculum : design technology in the International Baccalaureate

P. John Williams

This paper places the Design Technology curriculum
of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
in an historical and international context of global
education. It seems paradoxical that in a postmodern
era of respect for local and national cultures and
educational systems, a curriculum could thrive that
represents the antithesis of this by proposing that the
same curriculum is appropriate for all students in all
societies. The relevant structures of the IB and the
nature of Design Technology will be described in
order to enable judgements about its role and to
explain its increasing popularity.

Labor pains

With the national economy in the tank, the residents of Central Oklahoma are experiencing cautious optimism. Noted Oklahoma State University economist Mark Snead has projected a relatively rosy outlook for 2009 for the state as a whole, with the Oklahoma City area leading Tulsa. Oklahomans are too practical to fall for the promise of an endless boom and will not fall prey to the arrogance of considering our region “recession-proof.” With Snead, the people of Oklahoma City are too smart to attempt to predict energy prices in the future and we all know the effect a dramatic decrease in energy prices could have.

The legacy of the Keating years has left Oklahoma City with structural advantages relative to other metropolitan areas in the country. While Detroit is on the edge of a precipice and other cities, like Scranton, Penn., and Pittsburgh, have been reeling for decades, other cities, like Charlotte, N.C., and Nashville, along with Oklahoma City, have seen good times for a substantial period. The greatest single difference between the former and latter cities (other than access to high quality barbecue) is the presence of a free and flexible labor force.

As Oklahoma has turned toward the GOP to an unprecedented extent, the nation has gone Democrat, and therein lays the danger. This danger comes from a profoundly undemocratic direction. National Democrats are poised to enact the so-called Employee Free Choice Act, which would abolish the use of secret ballot elections in unionizing campaigns. Under the EFCA, a majority of workers in a given workplace unit need merely to sign a card prepared by union organizers and the employer is forced to bargain with the given union.

The dangers in this legislation to Oklahoma interests are manifold. First, out-of-state “big labor” interests can interfere in the workplaces to their own aggrandizement and to the harm of both Oklahoma workers and businesses. The introduction of French-style (or, for that matter, Michigan-style) dirigisme in labor relations would harden the free and flexible labor that currently gives Oklahoma City an economic advantage.  Secondly, properly constituted unions in Oklahoma would be cheapened by what I call union inflation. At present, we give the benefit of the doubt to unions in areas like public safety or the specialized trades because we know that they are accountable to their members and were formed in a democratic fashion. Under the new regime, businesses and consumers would take a more jaundiced look at union demands because we would not know if they were formed and began their bargaining laws thanks to intimidation and unfair organizing techniques.

Finally, Oklahoma City’s economic backbone, and indeed its soul, lies in small business. Without meaningful exemptions from such a rigid law, small business would be at even more of a disadvantage as against big business, which has more experience and a greater margin in dealing with big labor. I stood beside my first mentor in Oklahoma politics as the Guardian statue was placed on top of the new Capitol dome. He told me on that day that they should make him face east as Washington is where the danger to be guarded against would come. As the new administration considers EFCA, I will remember his words.
