Background: This story comes from Der Giftpilz, an anti-Semitic children’s book published by Julius Streicher, the publisher of Der Stürmer. This summary and partial translation is taken from a 1938 publication issued by the “Friends of Europe” in London, an organization to which I have not been able to find a successor to request permission to reprint.
How Jewish Traders Cheat
This story introduces a Jewish hawker who tries to sell bad cloth to a young German peasant girl.
It is a festival evening in the village when the Jew turns up with his wares. The Jew flatters the peasant woman and spreads out his wares.
“Everything the heart desires, Levy has for sale.”
But the German peasant girl turns down his offers.
The Jew persists, and shows her some stuff of
“... purest wool. That will make a dress for you, woman, so that you will look like a Baroness or a Princess, like a Queen. And cheap, too, that I can tell you!”
But the peasant woman knows the Jew too well.
“I am buying | nothing from you,” she says, and goes away.
The Jew packs up and goes away cursing. He consoles himself with the knowledge that there are lots of other peasants who can be more easily duped than this one. The story concludes:
Woe to the woman, however, who lets herself be taken in by his chatter. It will happen to her. As has happened to so many | [

Independent investigation needed in Just Desserts case: Race card played: Scathing ruling takes issue with ‘cultural insensitivity’
By Faisal Kutty – A few rotten apples can spoil the bushel. Nobody knows this better than police and court officials in Toronto as they try to deal with the negative publicity surrounding strip searches and other ill-treatment of the three accused men — Lawrence Augustus Brown, Gary George Francis and O’Neil Grant — in the infamous | Just Desserts case.
A scathing 60-page summarized ruling on the case, released Tuesday by Mr. Justice Brian Trafford, puts the police and the justice system in an unenviable light. The selective use of leg irons, belly chains and handcuffs on the three suspects displayed “cultural insensitivity towards black people,” stated Judge Trafford. He also found that to this day Toronto police have “never comprehensively investigated allegations of abuse.” Activists, angry at the use of shackles, have brought up the spectre of the slave trade.

The Search for Certainty: A Philosophical Account of Foundations of Mathematics. Marcus Giaquinto. xii + 286 pp. Oxford University Press, 2002. $45.
David Hilbert (1862–1943) was arguably the leading mathematician of his time. In struggles over how mathematics was to accommodate new understandings of the infinite, the Dutch mathematician L. E. J. Brouwer was his most fervent opponent. When Hilbert's favorite student, Hermann Weyl, went over to the enemy, saying "Brouwer, that is the revolution," Hilbert was incensed. In a passionate address delivered in 192 | 2, he proclaimed:
Weyl and Brouwer... seek to provide a foundation for mathematics by pitching overboard whatever discomforts them and declaring an embargo.... But this would mean dismembering and mutilating our science, and, should we follow such reformers, we would run the risk of losing a large part of our most valued treasures. Weyl and Brou | [

I read my policy which states: We may reduce a benefit or provide no benefit at all if, at the time of the loss or damage, your vehicle was off-roading unless agreed to in writing by us.
This is something to keep in mind as for example, at the recent Vulcaniser event the track was very slippery and the potential was there for a vehicle to slip in to another vehicle and cause damage.
I rang my insurer (AA) to ask if a farm road was classed as off-roading. They said that if the road goes to a house, it is okay, but if it is just going through a paddock, it's not. To be accepted, the route has to be regarded as a road by the local council.
How common is it to drive on farm roads when going to events?
I guess those insurer definitions eg; house at end of road and/or recognised by council as a road are clear enough but I would wonder how they diferentiate vehicle types / uses. Does it matter if your insured vehicle is a 'proper' 4wd (ladder chassis + ground clearance), a'softroader', a 4wd station wagon / car, or a 2wd station wagon / | car??

Gov't warns motorists about counterfeit air bags
On the Web
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Car owners whose air bags have been replaced in the past three years may have had dangerous counterfeit bags installed, the Obama administration warned Wednesday.
Only 0.1 percent of the U.S. vehicle fleet -- about 250,000 cars on the road -- are makes and models for which counterfeit airbags are known to be available, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a statement. Industry officials briefed by the government said tens of thousands of car owners may be driving vehicles with counterfeit air bags.
In government tests last month of 11 counterfeit bags, 10 didn't inflate or failed to inflate properly. In one test, a counterfeit bag shot flames and shards of | metal shrapnel at a crash dummy instead of inflating, said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland, who showed a video of the test at a news conference.

Although there are lots of free email services like Gmail, Windows Live and Yahoo!, setting up a domain name and customised email address is much easier than it sounds and can be done by anyone who has a moderate level of computer literacy.

For nearly 15 years, Dolores Prida was the Latina answer to "Dear Abby."
The Cuban-born writer penned columns -- as she once put it -- with "Latin-style tongue-in-cheek advice for the lovelorn, the forlorn and the just torn."
Prida died in New York on Sunday, leaving behind a loyal following of readers. She was 69.
Many knew her popular "Dolores Dice" column in Latina magazine. But Prida was also an opinion columnist who tackled tougher topics such as gun control and teen pregnancy in New York newspapers and a playwright who won international recognition for her work.
The night before she died, she was at a party in New York with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and others celebrating the 20th anniversary of a close-knit network of Latina journalists, lawyers and other professionals.
Prida had no training in writing advice when she took over Latina magazine's column in 1998. But her "wit, humor, tender poet's heart and commitment to empowering young women" made her a perfect fit for the job, said Sandra Guzman, then the magazine's editor in chief.
"She delved in with passion and gusto," Guzman said. | And her wry humor quickly made the column a hit.

Honest EPS: a measure of GAAP earnings relative to pro forma earnings
AbstractPurpose – This study empirically examines whether there is an anomalous factor return to a stock's Honest EPS. Design/methodology/approach – Honest EPS captures any large discrepancy between a company's primary earnings per share and the company's Pro-forma earnings per share, normalized by price. Pro-forma earnings issued in a company's press release have become a pejorative word to investors and the financial media alike. Findings – Honest EPS is rigorously tested for the top 1,000 largest market capitalization stocks and the broader top 3,000 largest market capitalization stocks from 1987 through 2002. It was rebalanced monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. We show a portfolio long the highest or top decile Honest EPS and short | the most negative or bottom decile in which Honest EPS produced significant excess return with a commensurate high information ratio.

What would you do if you found yourself transported completely by accident into the Biblical past, back to the time of Jesus' ministry just before the crucifixion? Well that is exactly what happens to Michael Stewart and his daughter, Elizabeth.
Having many struggles early on in his life, Michael now finds himself raising his daughter, Elizabeth on his own, having lost his wife, Vicki. Now Michael has turned his back on his faith in God and in a surprising turn of events, while helping out a food drive at the local church, Elizabeth disappears into the basement behind an ancient door in the floor. When Michael attempts to go after her, they find themselves transported into first-century Jerusalem during the last week of Jesus Christ's life.
Not exactly being dressed in local attire and coming to the aid of a man being severely beaten by Roman soldiers, Michael is arrested for interfering. He soon finds out the man he attempted to rescue was Barabbas, accused of murdering a Roman soldier. Now trapped within an ancient prison, all Michael wants to | do is find Elizabeth and get back to their real home. Elizabeth finds herself the center of unwanted attention when one of the Roman soldiers, Marcus, sees a possible wife in finding her.

How Androscoggin Valley Hospital Used New Technology to Reduce Patient Falls
Androscoggin Valley Hospital (AVH) is a 25 bed critical access hospital located in the white mountains of New Hampshire. AVH may be small, but the hospital is home to a wide variety of services and technologies that place it on the level of much larger facilities.

The staff at Androscoggin is serious about fall prevention. Patients are assessed for fall risk factors upon admission and at each shift. Patients determined to be at risk of falling are placed in a special program called the “ruby slippers” program. The ruby slippers program is designed to make staff aware of a patient’s fall status and put additional preventative measures in place, such as ambulation assistance.

Veronica, the protagonist of this new play, is just such an urban creature of privilege: we meet | her, at table at a sidewalk cafe or coffee shop, talking at (but not listening to or communicating with) some unseen person on her cell phone; basking in her wary entitlement to not be involved with anything going on around her.

Do we need a chemistry conscience?
Integrity is to the fore in Chemistry World with the comments by Maura Hiney and James Parry, but these contributions rather miss the point, it seems to me. After decades studying research papers in structural molecular biology to support my own researches, I have not detected fraud or other misconduct (perhaps I'm blind | to it). What I have found is a high proportion of'research' papers that are really at technician level, that is, results are reported without any effort to place them in a scientific model, context or theory. Promotion in science is largely through research and by recommendation from heads of team, not, for example, through excellence of teaching. However trivial the research results (and many are trivial), research 'counts' and teaching does not.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Condensation can occur inside any tube and dampness can cause the metal thread of any expander to oxidise as white, rough markings - so they won't perform as they should. To avoid this happening - dismantle any Carbon or Alloy shaft into sections, stow in the mesh bag and | hang somewhere dry until needed. Allowing dry air to circulate keeps the poles happy! Do this after use.... or if using everyday - then perhaps overnight when possible.
Use plain water to clean the poles as necessary - and allow to dry.... inside and out! DO NOT LUBRICATE inside any shaft section or their expanding bolt (as the poles rely on friction locking).

Are Today's Young Adults More Committed to Narcissism Than Environmentalism?
A just-reported review of historic polls corroborates another one of my boomer centric theories: that many if not most young Treehugger readers didn't bother to vote in the last mid-term election. If this were true, I felt, they should shoulder much of the blame for the anti-environmental political narrative led by the US Congress and Republican presidential candidates. I had no hard data to back up this idea; but, my own anecdotal observations* led me to toss out a definition for neo-environmentalism in a recent post.
It was good bait for comments.
1. a US citizen who considers him/herself to be "green" and yet, while of voting age, is not registered to vote and/or did not vote in the mid-term election that brought Tea Party politics to the fore.
2. does not realize that being apolitical is a political act
3. thinks lifestyle change will do the job.
Now, the data are compiled. Narcissism indeed floats the Millennial generation cigar boat.

When the crew of the Polish research ship the "Baltica" noticed a dog stranded on an ice flow that was at least 15 miles from the shore, they admirably came to the pup's rescue and effectively saved his life.

The No. 1 large school in Western New York sure looks ready for the Manhattan Cup championship – but its biggest rival will not be there waiting.
Bishop Timon-St. Jude, which lost twice in the regular season to St. Joe’s, broke through with a victory its program has been starving for as it beat the Marauders, 60-58, in the Manhattan Cup semifinals Sunday night at Canisius College’s Koessler Athletic Center
In the first game of the evening, No. 1 Canisius put on a dominating display as it throttled St. Mary’s, 90-25.
The Crusaders (21-4), winners of the last two Monsignor Martin Association championships, will face the Tigers (13-13) for the title at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Koessler. Timon has not played for the Manhattan Cup since 2004.

“Charities or social enterprises should be the main contractors for the work programme. No one can doubt their motives and they should be given a chance to prove their efficacy.”
That’s the conclusion of the Red Tory, Phillip Blond, reflecting on the possible lessons to be gleaned from what’s now being called the ‘London Bridge incident’, in which private security firm Close Protection UK provided unemployed ‘volunteers’ with the ‘opportunity’ to sleep under London Bridge and get changed in public before doing a 14-hour shift stewarding for the Queen’s Jubilee.
The potency of Blond’s suggestion that the incident proves charities and social enterprise should be given a chance to deliver the Work Programme is possibly slightly reduced by the fact that this character-building communion with the elements was the result of placements set up by by the charity, Tomorrow’s People – whose CEO, Debbie Scott, is a Conservative member of the House of Lords.
Earlier in his piece, Blond argues: “… the big contractors are not fit for purpose. Welfare to work requires a wider ethos and a more localised approach. Payment-by-results is not conducive to augmenting people’s skills because the emphasis on | “duration” of employment detracts from the “quality of outcomes”; the current incentive is to put people into low-wage jobs that lack prospects.“

Cebu doing ‘a tremendous job’ vs trafficking-A A +A

Will The Earth Stop Rotating?
Date: 1999 - 2000
Will the earth stop rotating?
Yes, but not for a long long long time. (If I remember correctly, it is
currently slowing down by about half a second per century.) As the
earth rotates it gets stretched and squeezed by tidal forces. The
energy required to do this work comes from the earth's rotation.
The simple answer to this is No.
It is believed that the Earth's day will be twice as long as it is now, in
about 5 thousand million years time, but there is too much momentum in the
Earth to stop it from rotating.
By the way, at the moment the Earth is rotating its fastest since the late
1920s, having lost approximately 0.63 milliseconds per day in the last 12
months (to June 28, | 2001) against atomic time, based on preliminary
International Earth Rotation Service data; compared with 3.13 milliseconds
per day in 1972, and 3.89 milliseconds per day in 1912. The Earth GAINED on
atomic time in 1929 by 0.35 ms/day.
Because of tidal friction.... yes it will. In fact, it is slowing as
we ride on it now. Actually, it will not stop, but rather the period of
rotation will equal its period of revolution. I do not have the number
at hand, but I seem | [

Mar. 31, 2009 Mothers of multiples have 43 percent increased odds of having moderate to severe depressive symptoms nine months after giving birth compared to mothers of single-born children, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers examined the relationship between multiple births and maternal depressive symptoms and found that multiple births increased the odds of maternal depression, and that few mothers with depressive symptoms, regardless of the multiple births status, reported talking to a mental health specialist or a general medical provider.
"Our findings suggest that 19 percent of mothers of multiples had moderate to severe depressive symptoms nine months after delivery, compared to 16 percent among mothers of singletons," said Yoonjoung Choi, DrPH, lead author of the study and a research associate with the Bloomberg School's Department of International Health. "Mothers with a history of hospitalization due to mental health problems or a history of alcohol or drug abuse also had significantly increased odds. Non-Hispanic black mothers had higher odds compared to non-Hispanic white mothers. Mothers who were currently married, Hispanic, or with a high household socioeconomic status were | less likely to have depressive symptoms."

Nothing quite like a bird symphony to get my summer soaring.
After dozing off contentedly in the backyard hammock last week, a rousing avian chorus in the woods woke me from my slumber. Even in my bleary state, I managed to identify a half-dozen different tunes being chirped almost simultaneously, not counting the irritating calls of the neighborhood's weed-wacker warblers and lawnmower loons.
Not being a birder, I really had no clue which bird species were singing which songs, but I marveled at the distinct melodies and non-stop performances of these winged vocalists.

- Main article: Inductive deductive reasoning
In traditional Aristotelian logic, deductive reasoning is inference in which the conclusion is of no greater generality than the premises, as opposed to inductive reasoning, where the conclusion is of greater generality than the premises. Other theories of logic define deductive reasoning as inference in which the conclusion is just as certain as the premises, as opposed to inductive reasoning, where the conclusion can have less certainty than the premises. In both approaches, the conclusion of a deductive inference is necessitated by the premises: the premises can't be true while the conclusion is false. (In Aristotelian logic, the premises in inductive reasoning can also be related in this way to the conclusion.)
- All men are mortal.
- Socrates is a man.
- Therefore Socrates is mortal.
- The picture is above the desk.

- Therefore the picture is above the floor.
- All birds have wings.
- A cardinal is a bird.
- Therefore a cardinal has wings.
- Every criminal opposes the government.
- Everyone in the opposition party opposes the government.

Only 1% of all cancer cases in the U.S. are cancers of the testicle. But it is the most common form of cancer in young men. In 2012, it is estimated that there will be 8,600 new cases of testicular cancer, and that 360 men will die from this disease.
There are several risk factors for testicular cancer:
- Most cases happen in young men, typically 15-40 years of age. But older men may also develop the disease.
- Failure of one or both testicles to descend from within the body before birth (known as cryptorchidism). This raises the risk of cancer approximately ten-fold.
- If there is cancer in one testicle, the risk for cancer in the other testicle goes up.
- When a first-degree family member (father, brother or son) has been affected.
- Having Klinefelters syndrome (a congenital abnormality of chromosomes).
But in the majority of cases, there arent any risk factors present. And there is no evidence that injuring the testicle or getting a sexually transmitted disease (other than HIV) increases the risk of cancer.
If its detected early, testicular cancer responds exceptionally well to treatment | . The survival rate for early-stage tumors is over 95%. Treatment is less effective if the diagnosis is delayed.

White Sox righty Crain heads to disabled list
Axelrod recalled from Triple-A to help in righty's absence
CHICAGO -- The White Sox placed right-hander Jesse Crain on the disabled list Friday, retroactive to April 21, with a strained left oblique. Righty Dylan Axelrod was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to take his place in the bullpen.
Crain, who hasn't pitched since April 20, said he was going to refrain from activity until Tuesday, when the White Sox begin a three-game series with the Indians. He said he injured his oblique doing twists in the weight room.
The 30-year-old right-hander said he was hopeful he'd be able to return from the DL on May 5, the first day he's eligible | .
"We're shooting for there. I think we should be ready by then, depending on what they have me do," Crain said. "I hope it'll give me plenty of time to let it rest all the way and clear it up so it doesn't come back."

The Fifth Seal (Part One)

Forerunner, "Prophecy Watch," September-October 2004
"When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar

And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
'How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?'
And a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer,
until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed."

NCAA Bracket Projections 2013: Illinois Makes An Entrance
The seedings on the home page have been updated to reflect the latest NCAA bracket projections through games played on February 10th. The bracket projections are based on the algorithmic models at TeamRankings.com, and also account for the specific rules for seeding set forth by the NCAA tournament committee.
Notes On Today’s 2013 NCAA Bracket Projection:
- We now project Miami as the #1 overall seed. The Hurricanes have now won 11 straight, including wins over La Salle, North Carolina (twice), Duke and North Carolina State, all teams that are also in our bracket projections.
- Teams from the South may find themselves at a bit of a disadvantage with the 2013 NCAA tournament bracket. There is not a first/second round site or a regional site within 1,000 miles of Miami, for example. The Final Four 2013 | is held in Atlanta, GA this year, though.
- Duke is also projected as a 1 seed in the most current bracket projections, however since the Blue Devils could meet Miami twice more this season, there’s a good chance that one will get a 1 seed to the exclusion of the other.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
1. Today concludes the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, during which we reflected on the constant necessity to invoke the Lord for the immense gift of full unity among all of Christ's disciples. Indeed, this prayer contributes in an essential way to make the common ecumenical effort of the Churches and Ecclesial Communities more sincere and fruitful.
At this gathering of ours, I would like to take up once more the meditation on Psalm 144, proposed by the Liturgy of Vespers in two distinct moments (cf. vv. 1-8 and vv. 9-15). The tone is still hymnal and entering into the scene is, also in the second movement of this Psalm, the figure of the "Anointed One", that is, the "Consecrated One" par excellence, Jesus, who draws everyone to himself to make of all "one" | (cf. Jn 17:11, 21). It is not by chance that the scene dominating the hymn is marked by prosperity and peace, symbols typical of the messianic era.
2. For this reason, the hymn is defined as "new", a term which, in biblical language, evokes not so much the exterior novelty of the words, as the ultimate fullness that seals hope (cf. v. 9). It sings, therefore, of the destination of history where the voice of evil, described by the Psalmist as "lies" and "perjury", expressions | [

NASCAR's Social Media Whirlwind
Boris Said made the media rounds of TV and radio shows on Tuesday. In his mind, that was the right way to address the issues surrounding the dust-up after the Watkins Glen race on Monday.
In fact, Said was scheduled to be a panelist on the "road course" edition of Monday's NASCAR Now show from the ESPN2 studios in Bristol, CT. It was only because the Sunday race was delayed by rain that Said was not talking to NASCAR fans as an ESPN analyst.
Instead, host Michelle Bonner handled Said on Tuesday's NASCAR Now while Sirius Speedway let Said talk about the situation for the SiriusXM subscribers.
Said repeatedly told the TV and radio hosts that he preferred to handle things the old way. That he was an old school guy who did his talking in person. He made it clear that things like Twitter and | Faceboook were not for him. He ridiculed social media and the drivers who used it to express their opinions after the race.
Unfortunately, what Said is actually doing is missing the boat. In today's world, speaking about an incident one day later on TV or radio is considered light years down the road.

In a year of notable biopics about gay artists - such as Wilde and Love is the Devil--Gods and Monsters might be expected to fade into the background. But director Bill Condon's ode to gay film director James Whale has a secret weapon: Sir Ian McKellen.
McKellen stars as Whale in this speculative tale of the weeks preceding the death of the Frankenstein filmmaker, and the performance is already generating very sensible Oscar buzz. Whale--who made no secret of his sexual orientation--helmed not only Frankenstein but also its notably campier sequel The Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and several others before an early retirement brought on by his own dwindling control over the | product of his work.
