As part of the informal boycott, The Israeli Union has discourgaed tourism to Turkey. This popular destination is known to attract more than 100,000 Israeli visitors, annually. BY JEWISH VOCE STAFF

High tension between Israel and Turkey has resulted in an informal boycott. Israelis are punishing Turkey by not visiting the country as tourists and by refusing to sell Turkish products in Israel.

he reason for the boycott is the latest diplomatic tension between the two countries, which began when an international military exercise, which was supposed to be held in Turkey and to include the U.S. and NATO, were canceled because Turkey had opposition to Israel being part of the exercise. According to a survey by the Israeli publication, Arutz Sheva, a number of tourist agencies in Israel found that the demand for Turkish tourist resorts dropped significantly over the past two weeks. “The end of the season plus the crisis between Turkey and Israel have hit tourism severely,” a tourism agency representative told the publication. Israeli media also reported that Illan’s coffee chain would not sell Turkish coffee in response to the tensions, Israeli media reported.

“We have decided for the time being to stop selling ‘Istanbul coffee’ - our Turkish coffee blend, and we shall keep doing it until matters improve,” Michael Steg, director of marketing for the large chain, told the Ynet news website. An El Al official told Army Radio that many Israeli businesses have also decided to stop subsidizing employee vacations to Turkey which usually sees up to 80,000 Israeli visitors to Turkish resorts. This is not the first time Turkey, which is a popular destination for Israeli tourists, has been affected by biter relations. According to the Israeli publication, YNET, Israel will also refrain from Turkish independence day celebrations, which are planned for the end of October. Many Israeli government ministers who have been invited to celebrate Turkey's 86th Independence Day later this month at the Turkish ambassador's residence in Kfar Shmaryahu, are planning to boycott the event on the backdrop of recent tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara.

MACCABI, LOSS TO NY KNICKS, BIG WIN FOR MIGDAL OHR BY MAXINE DOVERE

For the last several months, the buzz and excitement surrounding the rematch between the New York Knicks and the Israeli Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv basketball teams at Madison Square Garden built greater and greater enthusiasm. he preseason, charity exhibition game, benefiting Migdal Ohr was a repeat of the contest that brought the teams together two years ago.

Ben-Simon Quits as Labor Faction Chair BY JPOST MK Daniel Ben-Simon announced his resignation as Labor faction chairman at a Knesset press conference. n a letter sent earlier to faction members, Ben-Simon said that the party's goals within the coalition were to promote the peace process, remove outposts and reduce socio-economic parity. Ben-Simon claimed the party had

not accomplished those goals and was betraying its constituents. At the press conference, Ben-Simon said he still "believes in Ehud Barak's abilities" as Labor leader, but if the outposts the government had committed to remove were not dismantled, the party "will be in trouble." Speaking to Army Radio later, BenSimon said that if the peace process is not resumed within two weeks, "we must leave

the government." Ben-Simon wrote in the letter that Labor had in essence split into two factions, each operating simultaneously. Ben-Simon's resignation is apparently unrelated to the request of Labor MKs Ophir Pines, Eitan Cabel, Amir Peretz and Yuli Tamir to leave the party. The four lack a necessary f ifth MK required to establish an independent faction.

Former Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Manager Commits Suicide BY AVI COHEN Basketball world is shocked – Moni Fanan, the man everyone identifies with Maccabi Tel Aviv's basketball team was found dead in his apartment on after hanging himself. A Magen David Adom emergency unit was rushed to the scene and tried to resuscitate Fanan for almost an hour, but was ultimately forced to pronounce him dead. assive police forces and crime scene investigators arrived at Fanan's Ramat Aviv apartment in Tel Aviv in order to collect evidence. Tel Aviv Police Northern District Chief Sigal Bar-Zvi also arrived at the

scene and will be briefed on the data. Police remain uncertain as to the circumstances which led 63-year-old Fanan to kill himself. Maccabi members currently in the United States for a round of games in the NBA received the news with utter shock. The former team manager was survived by his wife, Sharon, and two children, Regev who was a Maccabi player and Liron who recently left the club. Fanan acted as Maccabi Tel Aviv's basketball team manager for 16 years and retired in the summer of 2008. Having been an avid team fan for years he joined Maccabi in1986 as a member of management and in 1992 assumed the manager's position.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Fanan was a hands-on type of manager: He helped in picking the players, greeted them upon arrival to Israel, met all of their needs, and legend has it he even used to change their light bulbs at 3 am in the morning. Many referred to him as "the players' mum and dad." He f inally retired last year after a long standing dispute with members of the team's management, particularly David Federman and Ra'anan Katz. In the press conference last year announcing his retirement from the team he summed up his days with Maccabi: "I did my job faithfully every day, so much so that I forgot I had a personal life and a family, but don't be fooled into thinking I have regrets on the path I chose.

Israel Says UN Report Adoption Would Reward Terror BY AFP The adoption by the UN Human Rights Council of a proposed resolution on the controversial Goldstone report would be a "reward for terror," Israel's envoy told the 47-member state council. he resolution, as proposed, will be a reward for terror and will send a clear message to terrorists everywhere," said Aharon Leshno Yaar, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. The report, which followed a fact-finding mission led by former international war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, accuses Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of war crimes. It recommends that its conclusions should be referred to the International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague, if Israel and Hamas fail to carry out credible investigations within six months. The Goldstone report also recommends the UN Security Council set up an independent team of experts to monitor and report on any investigations undertaken by Israel on the allegations.

Knesset Panel to Discuss Israel's Dire International Standing BY REBECCA ANNA STOIL MK Tzahi Hanegbi (Kadima), chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, told The Jerusalem Post that he welcomed a call by MK Ophir Paz-Pines (Labor) to schedule a hearing on Israel's international standing in light of the Goldstone Report. anegbi said that he "welcomed the initiative" and that a session would be held in the coming weeks. He added that he was considering holding the meeting in a rare open-door session that would allow public transparency regarding Israel's response to the report, as well as to what Paz-Pines described as "a continuing process" of "decline" in the nation's reputation. In his letter, which was addressed to Hanegbi and copied to Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin (Likud), Paz-Pines demanded that "the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee be urgently convened for a hearing on the fears of the collapse of Israel's diplomatic standing." "The Goldstone Report created a chain of diplomatic damages, the latest of which are the special hearing in the UN Security Council and the hearing at the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva," Paz-Pines wrote. "Our relations with Turkey are at an unprecedent-

Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee MK Tzahi Hanegbi. ed low, and are extremely concerning, and it is possible that a regional power that was our ally is pulling out of the pact and growing closer to Israel's enemies. In parallel, our relations with the United States are continuing to be strained and it doesn't seem that there is going to be any turnaround in this trend, and the contacts with the Palestinians have already fallen through, with no breakthrough on the horizon." The "Knesset cannot fail to discuss this matter and sit with our hands fold-

ed, in light of the fear of the collapse of the Israeli diplomatic policy. The Knesset must hear off icial reports from the government, offer advice and to make sure that the government is taking appropriate steps to cope with the situation," Paz-Pines said. But not all members of the powerful committee agreed with the Labor lawmaker. Coalition chairman and fellow committee member MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) described Paz-Pines's demand as strange and counterproductive. The committee, he said, has held a number of meetings regarding Israel's diplomatic front, including with both Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. "It seems to me like a strange argument, because we do and have discussed Israel's international standing, and there is an entire subcommittee that just met recently devoted to diplomatic affairs," Elkin said. "I think it is strange because it weakens our standing as seen from abroad," added Elkin, a close Netanyahu ally." "This could be taken from theater of the absurd - the current government is defending the actions of the previous government during Operation Cast Lead, while the members of that government complain about the way in which we are doing so."

US-Born Judge Appointed to the Supreme Court BY GREER FAY CASHMAN His American accent noticeable along with the fluency of his Hebrew, new Supreme Court Justice Neal Hendel was one of 25 jurists who took the oath of office before being officially appointed by President Shimon Peres. h r e e o f t h e n e w j u d g e s we r e appointees to the Supreme Court, 21 to district courts throughout the country and one to the vice presidency of the National Labor Court. Hendel, who came to Israel from New York in 1983, settled in Beersheba, where he became an assistant District Attorney in the Traffic Courts, then was promoted to district court judge, eventually becoming vice president of the Beersheba District Court, his most recent position. Hendel, a graduate of Brooklyn's Yeshiva of Flatbush High School and Yeshiva University, has many former school friends here, as both institutions have an excellent aliya record. Hendel studied law at Hofstra University and is married to Marcie; the two have five sons. The other two new Supreme Court justices are Uzi Fogelman, a graduate of the Tel Aviv and Hebrew University Law Schools and of Harvard University's School of Public Administration; and Yitzhak Amit, who graduated with out-

Noting that Hendel is religiously observant, and not the only observant President Peres, flanked by Supreme Court member of the Supreme Court, President Dorit Beinisch and Justice Minister Beinisch declared Yaakov Neeman, surrounded by newly sworn-in that there are no judges at Beit Hanassi. marked places on the bench - "not a relistanding results from the Hebrew gious seat, not a seat for a woman and not University Law School and worked for a seat for an Arab."

He also condemned violent theft against elderly people who are unable to defend themselves, human trafficking, ugly protection rackets, threats against law enforcement officials, sex crimes and battles between criminal elements in the struggle for power. He was particularly perturbed by the fact that the perpetrators of such violence are often very young people and that the age level keeps dropping. "All of Israeli society is under threat. It's a form of interpersonal terrorism," he said, insisting that the fight against violent crime must be in the forefront of the national agenda. In listing the attributes of a judge, both Peres and Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman cited the qualities epitomized by the Rambam: wisdom, humility, fear of God, disdain of profit, pursuer of truth and justice, love of fellow man and a good reputation. To this they also added sensitivity. Adler pointed out that the occasion also marked the 40th anniversary of the labor courts which were established in September 1969. Over the years he said, the labor courts had become integral to the Israeli court system and contributed considerably to labor relations and social security.

At around 3:00 pm (0900 GMT), two explosions seconds apart rocked a male teaching faculty and women's cafeteria of what is one of the largest Islamic universities in the world, attracting Muslim students from home and abroad. "We are in a state of war. They will make every effort to destabilise the country. These so-called Islamists are enemies of Islam and enemies of Pakistan," Interior Minister Rehman Malik said at Islamabad's main hospital. The US embassy in Pakistan said the "vicious attack on a respected Islamic educational institution reveals yet again

the cruel and inhuman nature of the terrorists operating against Pakistan and its people". Broken glass and pieces of charred flesh littered the faculty building's first floor, where blood dripped down the stairwell and students stepped through the debris, choking under thick smoke, an AFP reporter said. "Seven people including two suicide bombers are dead, and 29 injured in the two attacks. Among the dead is one female," senior city administration official Rana Akbar Hayat told AFP at the scene of the attack.

“The first blast ripped through the faculty of Islamic jurisprudence used by male students and the second hit the women's cafeteria.” Doctor Minjahul Siraj, at Islamabad's main hospital, confirmed there were five

BY BENJAMIN WEINTHAL The journalistic ethos of the Axel Springer publishing house - Europe's largest media conglomerate - is governed by a set of principles spelled out in the employment contract of each journalist, one of which advocates "the support of the State of Israel and its existence and reconciliation between Germans and Jews." n an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with The Jerusalem Post earlier this month, Dr. Mathias Döpfner, CEO of the Berlin-based Axel Springer AG media empire and a self-described "non-Jewish Zionist," explained the philosophy behind Springer's support for Israel and his coordination of the 10th annual European-Israel Dialogue taking place for the first time in Israel on Monday and Tuesday in Jerusalem. According to Dr. Döpfner, Axel Springer (1912-1985), the self-made founder of the media giant, "thought that a new Germany can only develop if it is somehow def ining its relationship to Israel. He clearly said that the Holocaust cannot be compensated, but in order to f ind a new self-def inition, Germany has to support from now on the State of Israel and its people." The magazines and daily newspapers of the Axel Springer publishing empire span Europe, and within Germany its mass-circulation Bild newspaper reaches more than three million readers.

German media critics argue that within a European media landscape f illed at times by shoddy and a one-sided press coverage of Israel, Axel Springer has been cutting against the grain by presenting a refreshingly balanced and objective view. "Israel and Europe should have an understanding of absolutely common interests in the defense of democracy and the values of the free Western world, "Döpfner told the Post. "Israel is the bridgehead of democracy in the Middle East. So it is in the interests of Europe to support it and to strengthen it. We share the same cultural roots and we share the same security interests and foreign policy interests. Let's bring it closer together," he said. In this vein, Springer AG jump-started the European-Israeli Dialogue 10 years ago, to foster "a political, social, cultural and scientif ic dialogue" that has "brought together business, media, politicians, scientists, artists, business people from major European countries," Döpfner said. The Dialogue's founding statement said that "Israel should be a member of the EU," he said. As a result of Döpfner's success in running the European-Israeli Dialogue, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and European Commission Vice President Günter Verheugen turned to him in 2007 to chair the European Union-Israel Business Dialogue.

US Scientist in Court on Spy-for-Israel Charges BY AFP A leading US scientist who has worked for the White House and NASA made a first appearance in court charged with attempting to spy for Israel, which could earn him a sentence of life in prison. tewart Nozette, 52, was arrested Monday after a sting operation involving an undercover FBI agent posing as an Israeli agent, the Department of Justice said, adding that there was no wrongdoing by Israel. Tuesday, Nozette appeared before Judge Deborah Robinson without handcuffs and a bit disheveled to be informed of the charges against him. He motioned to family members in the courtroom and sat quietly next to his lawyer John Kiyonaga.

â€œA prominent scientist credited with involvement in the discovery of water on the moon, Nozette had experience working for the US space agency NASA,â€? The judge told Nozette he was charged with attempted espionage and set an October

29 hearing on whether he should remain in detention. A prominent scientist credited with involvement in the discovery of water on the moon, Nozette had experience working for the US space agency NASA, the Energy Department and even served on the White House's National Space Council in 1989 and 1990, under then-president George H.W. Bush. He was arrested in the Washington suburb of Chevy Chase, Maryland on Monday. Nozette is charged with "attempted espionage for knowingly and willfully attempting to communicate, deliver, and transmit classified information relating to the national defense of the United States to an individual (he) believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer." The investigation appears to have been sparked by his work with an Israeli company, and comments he made to a colleague. A criminal complaint against says Nozette was employed between November 1998 and January 2008 as a "technical consultant for an aerospace company that was wholly owned by the government of Israel" and received payments totaling approximately 225,000 dollars in exchange for answering questions. "Nozette informed a colleague that if the United States tried to 'put him in jail' based on an unrelated criminal offense, Nozette would move from the United States to Israel or foreign country A, and tell them everything he knows," the complaint adds.

WAR ON TERROR King Abdullah Urges U.S. to Push Mideast Peace BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF In an interview with Italian daily La Repubblica, King Abdullah II said the region's hope for peace was huge at the start of the Obama administration, but now sees the goal getting farther away. 've heard people in Washington talking about Iran, again Iran, always Iran," Abdullah said. "But I insist on, and keep insisting on the Palestinian question: The IsraeliPalestinian conflict is the most serious threat to the stability of the region and the Mediterranean," he added. He said the two sides have a window of opportunity over the next year to make progress on creating a two-state solution, after which point the possibility of a Palestinian state will disappear as more Arab land gets swallowed up by Jewish settlements. "The window of opportunity will soon close," he said. "By the end of 2010, if Israel doesn't believe in the two-state solution, the possi-

bility of a future Palestinian state will disappear because of geographic reasons: already the land is fragmented into cantons," Abdullah added. He urged Washington and the European Union to put pressure on Israel to sit down with the Palestinians to negotiate peace, even though he remained suspicious of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and somewhat disillusioned with the U.S. effort to date. "I'll be sincere; I had expected more, sooner, of the U.S. efforts and the seven missions already conducted by the U.S. envoy George Mitchell," the king was quoted as saying. He concluded: "I believed in a decisive turn at the beginning of the summer, ahead of a true peace negotiation at the United Nations, but the question of Israeli settlements - which are illegal according to the international community - remains central. Israel for their part has insisted that there be no preconditions to the negotiations and at the same time have continued building in older settlements and dismantling small outpost settlements.

OU Applauds House Passage Of $19 Million In Homeland Security Grants To Jewish Institutions BY JEWISH VOICE STAFF The Orthodox Union - the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization, applauded the House passage of $19 million in security grants to nonprofits, including many Jewish institutions. he House voted on the Homeland Security Appropriations Act Conference Report which included this important tool to help prevent terrorist attacks and protect civilians in case of such attack. This appropriation level is $4 million more than last year, $1 million more than the amount initially legislated by the House of Representatives and higher than the $15 million requested in the President’s budget. The Orthodox Union has worked since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 with other key partners in the Jewish community, including United Jewish

Communities, Jewish federations and concerned elected officials initially to create and now to continue and strengthen the nonprofit grants program. To date, the program, part of DHS’s Urban Area Security Initiative has provided approximately sixty-five million dollars to vulnerable nonprofits, including many in the Jewish community. This year, for the first time, the Obama Administration included the program in their proposed budget. The program awards are risk based on the likelihood of a terrorist attack and/or the targets symbolic or historic value. Nathan J. Diament, OU Director of Public Policy stated: The Orthodox Union deeply appreciates this much needed aid to synagogues and other Jewish organizations. In addition to the Obama administration, we are grateful to the Members of Congress who pressed for this program, even in a difficult budget year, and in particular, to Representatives Price, Cantor, Lowey, Serrano and Rogers. We ask for swift passage by the Senate.

The

Iranian Threat Israel May Attack Iran After December

Iran Accuses Western Nations of Supporting Attackers

BY JPOST.COM STAFF

BY ELIZABETH ARROTT

Israel is making preparations to carry out military attacks in Iran after December, a French magazine reported.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has asked Pakistan to hand over those he says are behind a suicide bombing Sunday that killed more than 40 people, including several top commanders of the elite Revolutionary Guard. Iranian officials also accuse the United States and Britain of supporting the attackers.

ccording to the report in Le Canard EnchainĂŠ quoted by Israel Radio, Jerusalem has already ordered highquality combat rations from a French food manufacturer for soldiers serving in elite units and has also asked reservists of these units staying abroad to return to Israel. The magazine further reported that in a recent visit to France, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel was not planning to bomb Iran, but might send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there. These, according to the magazine, could involve the sabotage of nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists. Israel has recently toned down rhetoric against Iran so as not to hinder US diplomatic efforts for Iranian transparency regarding

IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.Gen Gabi Ashkenazi speaks to Army Radio. its nuclear program , but neither Jerusalem nor Washington have so far made any unequivocal statements to the effect that the military option against Iran was no longer being considered. Israel has maintained that it has the military capability to tackle Iran on its own if sanctions against the Islamic Republic prove ineffective. Israel accuses Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. Teheran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful. The Jerusalem Post could not confirm Le Canard EnchainĂŠ's report.

r. Ahmadinejad told Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari that the presence of "terrorist elements in Pakistan" cannot be justified and insisted Islamabad arrest those involved.

Iranian state media report the two spoke by phone one day after a suicide bomber killed more than 40 people in the southeastern region SistanBaluchistan, along the Pakistani border. An internet statement in the name of the militant group Jundallah claimed responsibility for the blast. The attack, on Revolutionary Guard commanders and Sunni and Shi'ite tribal leaders gathering for a reconciliation meeting, was among the most brazen in the Islamic Republic in years. Ali Nouri Zadeh is the director of the Center for Arab and Iranian Studies in London. He argues that the security breach has hurt the image of the Revolutionary Guard, which he notes, took part in the crackdown on anti-government protests earlier this year. "It showed the regime, which is very strong in front of innocent people, unarmed people in the streets of Tehran or Tehran University or the streets of Isfahan or other cities, is very weak in front of people who are carrying arms," said Zadeh. The head of the Guard, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, accused British and U.S. agents of training the militants in Pakistan. The United States has condemned the attack and denied any involvement.

Deputy commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's ground force, Gen. Noor Ali Shooshtari is among those killed in the attack Jundallah leader Abdolmalek Rigi says his group is f ighting discrimination against his people, ethnic Baluchis, members of Iran's Sunni minority. His group also claimed responsibility for an attack on a Shi'ite mosque in Iran earlier this year that killed about two dozen people. Political analyst Zadeh says state discrimination against ethnic Baluchis and the poverty of the area, also a center of drug smuggling, give Jundallah more than enough support from the local population. "The Baluch are very upset. They are desperate. They are poor. In parts of Baluchistan, people are living in the Stone Age," Zadeh said. The area has suffered under a lowlevel insurgency for years. Military analysts believe Iran is wary of cracking down too hard, for fear of drawing in other militants from neighboring Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Israel's Cabinet Rejects UN War Crimes Report

Insurance Industry Fighting Hard To Stop Health Care Reform BY KENT KLEIN

BY ROBERT BERGER U.S. President Barack Obama says the nation is closer to reforming its health care system than ever before. The president is warning, however, that the insurance industry is fighting hard to stop the process.

Israel is brushing off last week's resolution of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which endorsed a report accusing the Jewish state of war crimes during the Gaza conflict.

Israel will defend itself at any price," said Cabinet Minister Yossi Peled. "This is a duty and a right." The Goldstone Report endorsed by the U.N. Human Right Council on Friday accuses Israel of war crimes during the Gaza conflict. But the Cabinet said Israel was responding to years of Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza, which is ruled by the Islamic militant group Hamas. The report also accuses Hamas of war crimes, but the international focus has been on Israeli actions which killed at least 1,100 Palestinians, many of them civilians.

â€œ...it is an anti-Semitic resolution in which the same right of self-defense that is allowed to the United States in Afghanistan and Russia in Chechnya is denied to Israel in the Gaza Strip.â€?

resident Obama is praising the Senate Finance Committee for passing a health care reform bill in the past week. But in his weekly radio and Internet address, Mr. Obama cautions that much more work needs to be done to complete his planned overhaul of the health care system. "But this is not the time to pat ourselves on the back. This is not the time to grow complacent. There are still significant details and disagreements to be worked out in the coming weeks. And there are still those who would try to kill reform at any cost," he said. The president says the cost of failing to reform health care would devastate the U.S. economy. He warns that inaction would lead to lower salaries, higher unemployment, lower prof its and an increased number of people without insurance. "For decades, rising health care costs have unleashed havoc on families, businesses and the economy. And for decades, whenever we have tried to reform the system, the insurance companies have done everything in their considerable power to stop us," he said. Obama said the health insurance industry is mounting what he calls "one last f ight to save the status quo." "They are f illing the airwaves with deceptive and dishonest ads. They are flooding Capitol Hill with lobbyists and campaign contributions. And they are funding studies designed to mislead the American people," he said.

srael's Cabinet angrily rejected the United Nations resolution, saying the army's three-week assault on the Gaza Strip last December and January was legitimate self-defense.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, right, and Education Minister Gideon Saar, attend the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. Cabinet Minster Yuval Shteinitz accused the international community of a double standard. Steinitz said it is an anti-Semitic resolution in which the same right of selfdefense that is allowed to the United States in Afghanistan and Russia in Chechnya is denied to Israel in the Gaza Strip. The Goldstone Report will now go to the U.N. Security Council which could refer it to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Steinitz warned that if the Palestinians continue to incite against Israel in every international forum, it will harm the peace process. He said Israel "will not continue to turn the other cheek."

President Obama cautions that much more work needs to be done to complete his planned overhaul of the health care system. Even though one Republican Senator on the Finance Committee, Olympia Snowe of Maine, voted for the president's plan, most Republicans remain opposed to it. In the weekly Republican message, Congressman Kevin Brady of Texas says Mr. Obama's health care reform would mean higher taxes and government interference in private citizens' medical treatment. "The massive health care plans being crafted behind closed doors in Washington will ultimately allow the government to decide what doctors we can see, what treatments the government thinks you deserve, and what medicines you can receive," he said. Whatever reform plan emerges from the various House and Senate committees would need to pass both houses of Congress before going to Mr. Obama for his signature.

Atlantic Yards: Court of Appeals Hears Case BY JOEL STASHENKO The state's highest court yesterday confronted the issue of whether eminent domain should have been used to advance a massive private development in Brooklyn. Philip E. Karmel, arguing for the Empire State Development Corp. on behalf of developer Bruce C. Ratner's Atlantic Yards project, told the Court of Appeals that the development would replace 22 acres of largely "substandard and unsanitary" land. t's extremely well-established, from many, many decades that that is an adequate constitutional basis for use of eminent domain," Mr. Karmel told the judges in Matter of Goldstein v. New York State Urban Development Corp., 178. Matthew D. Brinckerhoff countered for project opponents that the nearly $4 billion Atlantic Yards, whose centerpiece would be a new arena for the NBA's New Jersey Nets, does not fit the Public Use Clause of Article I, §7 of the state Constitution. The clause, which first appeared in the Constitution in 1821, prohibits taking private property for public use without just compensation. Mr. Brinckerhoff argued that Empire State Development failed to show how the project meets the definition of "public use" that has developed in state courts since. "Won't it provide recreation facilities for the residents of Brooklyn, athletic facilities for school children, etc.?" Judge Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick asked Mr. Brinckerhoff. "Is that part of he proposed plan? …That's a public purpose, right?

A rendering of the Atlantic Yards project. "Right, but I don't think anybody can argue that its primary purpose is to provide facilities to community groups," Mr. Brinckerhoff replied. "It's primary purpose is to house a for-profit professional basketball organization." Mr. Brinckerhoff argued that Empire State Development failed to properly make an accounting of the projected private benefits of the project to Mr. Ratner and his Forest City Ratner Companies and weigh those against the benefits to the public before allowing the project to go forward in 2006. At that time, the state agency authorized the condemnation and taking of 123 parcels of privately owned land, or about 20 percent of the property in the project zone. Some

landowners have since sold out to Forest City Ratner. Though little or no work has been done on the project for months, Mr. Ratner has recently reached an agreement to have Russian billionaire Mikhail D. Prokhorov invest $200 million in the Nets, the 18,000seat arena and in Atlantic Yards in exchange for an ownership share in all three. He faces an end-of-the-year deadline to break ground. There was limited discussion before the Court yesterday about the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial ruling in Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005). Kelo allowed, with what critics called an overly broad definition of "public use" under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, the

taking of private land for a private development in Connecticut. Judge Robert S. Smith did ask Mr. Karmel yesterday how Kelo related to Atlantic Yards. "Are you asking us to follow Kelo and say that any public use is good enough, or do you acknowledge that you have to show blight here to justify the use of the eminent domain power?" the judge asked. "The result in this case is the same whether you follow Kelo or you don't follow Kelo" based on the state Constitution and case law, Mr. Karmel replied. State Precedent Justices Susan Phillips Read and Victoria A. Graffeo both said at several points they wanted to know more about state precedents and how they relate to the use of eminent domain under the state Constitution. Mr. Brinckerhoff also challenged whether public funding for Atlantic Yards—the state and the city have each pledged $100 million—is legal under Article XVIII, §6 of the state Constitution. It allows public financing for residential housing projects only when low-income units are being replaced by other low-income units. Atlantic Yards calls for construction of about 3,000 market-value housing units and 2,250 low-income units. Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman asked whether public funding was going to the project in violation of Article XVIII, §6. "Are public subsidies going to marketrate housing here?" he asked. "No," Mr. Karmel responded. "There are no public subsidies going to

New York to Get Israeli-Style Diamond Exchange BY RON FRIEDMAN

Watch the Sublease Pendulum Swing BY LEN KANAREK

A delegation from Extell Development Company, a New Yorkbased real estate firm, will be arriving in Israel on Sunday to meet with prospective tenants for their recently launched International Gem Tower project, a 34-story office tower, located on 47th Street in the heart of New York's famed Diamond District. xtell plans to host a presentation for local members of the diamond, gem and jewelry business community at the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan. Raizy Haas, Extell's senior vice president in charge of the project, hopes that those Israeli diamond companies which often do business on 47th Street will show keen interest in learning how the building's services, amenities and security have been designed to address the specif ic business needs of members of the trade. "Israeli diamantaires have become used to the convenience of doing business within the secure boundaries of Ramat Gan's four diamond exchange buildings, enjoying a wide array of services," Haas noted. "Until now, such facilities have not existed in New York and we are sure they will want to understand the choice of services and amenities that the development will feature. "And, unlike off ices in other buildings on 47th Street, the off ices at the International Gem Tower are for sale,"

REAL ESTATE

Since 2007, the drop in New York City office rents has been precipitous. Currently, leases can be negotiated for net effective rents that are 50% or less than the same space commanded two years ago. Is this the time for tenants who are either looking to expand, upgrade to a better building, or prospective new entrants to the New York market, to make a decision?

An artist's rendition of the International Gem Tower. Haas emphasized. "We recognize that in this particular industry off ice ownership is highly desirable." The new building will likely be a Free Trade Zone, he said, a designation that would provide the opportunity for unit owners to import foreign merchandise without Customs entry or the payment of United States duties until the goods are removed from the zone for sale in the country.

Continued on page 38

Currently, one of the key drivers of pricing in the office market is the availability of sublease space.

t is no secret that the driver of the current inventory of office space is the contraction or demise of large financial firms occupying big blocks of space. This impact has been magnified by the corresponding impact on the professional firms servicing the financial community. Many observers feel that Wall Street may never return to its sheer size and prominence in the New York market. Is this the time for prospective tenants to act, or are they better served by waiting as there is no consensus the market has bottomed? The answer is not clear, and is subject to change quickly depending upon the specific sub-market. Some owners are responding to market pricing, trying to keep occupancy as

high as possible. They are offering rents, free rent, TI allowances and other terms to compete for the limited number of prospective tenants. In addition to owners competing for strategic reasons, those with heavy leverage are forced to generate as much current NOI as possible. Alternatively, some owners, particularly those with properties held for an extended period with moderate leverage are being circumspect. They are reluctant to sign long term leases under current conditions, preferring not to com-

15,000. Outplayed for the second time in two years, the Israeli team was unable to turn back its NBA opposition, scoring on 91points to the Knicks 101. Although attendance at the rematch was somewhat less than that of the 2007 game (this year the event began at 1 p.m. ET - while a more convenient time for Maccabi's fans overseas, the mid day timing may have hampered ticket sales). The crowd was enthusiastic, cheering loudly for the Israeli team. With a much tighter 2009 score (Knicks - 101 / Maccabi Elite 96; (2007 was 112 - 85, with the Knicks defeating the Tel Aviv team). The Israeli team earned praise from several members of the Knicks’ team who according to Knicks’ rookie guard Joe Crawford found the Israelis "… a pretty good team." He commented that "The NBA team is always going to be deeper, but they did a good job of hanging with us." It was a good matchup," said Jordan Hill praising Maccabi’s athleticism. "They are gonna go far in their league, they have good things up ahead for them." The Tel Aviv team had a strong beginning, taking a quick four to nothing lead. D'or Fischer was the most outstanding player for Maccabi, scoring 19 points and 16 rebounds and nine out of ten free throws. Maciej Lampe, the 611 former Knicks draft pick, added14 points in 25 minutes But New York's Jared Jeffries responded with two quick three pointers to take the lead and the Knicks never looked back. Following a fairly tight f irst half, the Knicks responded with strength, capitalizing on mistakes by the Israeli squad, and never looking back.. At one point, Maccabi narrowed the gap to just three points at 30-27, but missed three free throws in succession, leading to a Knicks rally for 10-0 points. The Knicks halftime score of 56-35 proved impossible for Maccabi to reverse. The Israeli team’s physical stamina also was not at the New York team's level.

But, having to call upon a rabbi to effectively “hold court” on the boards of the basketball playing “f ield” is certainly unique. In perhaps the most noted – though, indeed, not noteworthy– moment of the game came when, after being handed his second technical foul (an automatic ejection, according to both NBA and Euroleague rules), colorful Maccabi coach Pini Gershon refused to follow the referee’s directive and leave the court. Well, who you gonna call? Sunday, somebody called the rabbi. Only the calming presence of Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, organizer of the Knicks-Maccabi Tel Aviv charity, who though stating that referees incorrectly ejected Maccabi coach Pini Gershon after issuing him a second technical foul n 53 seconds, prevailed upon the coach to leave the court.

United Jewish Communities Program Offers Businesses Loans to Boost Coexistence BY JAMIE ROMM A new loan program designed to help small businesses thrive in specific areas aims to benefit employment sectors throughout the country which promote coexistence between Jews and Arabs by allowing them to work together. he Jewish-Arab Employment Zone Loan Fund is meant to give Israeli Arab business owners "the support to develop their businesses, create economic development and employment with a hope to fortify Jewish-Arab relations and build strong and stable communities in various regions of Israel ," according to a statement this week from the United Jewish Communities (UJC), which is spearheading the project.

“The loans hope to aid small businesses that would otherwise have no access to conventional bank loans...” The fund is part of the Social Venture Fund for Jewish-Arab Equality and Shared Society, an initiative of the UJC/The Jewish Federations of North America, which is working with the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Center

According to the UJC, loan funds in Israel have become an emerging strategy for Jewish Federations to provide resources for economic development, regional growth and the creation of new jobs over the past five years. for Jewish-Arab Economic Development (CJAED) to help small businesses grow. According to the UJC, loan funds in Israel have become an emerging strategy for Jewish Federations to provide resources for economic development, regional growth and the creation of new jobs over the past f ive years. Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky said this program would help businesses that in the past would not

have had a chance to grow in Israel. "In recent years JAFI's success at developing and managing loan funds has been proven and replicated time and again. Like in our many previous projects, we have no doubt that this new fund will contribute signif icantly to Israel's economic growth," Sharansky said. "Together with CJAED, we see this initiative as an important part of our strategy to bring greater prosperity to all sectors of Israeli society."

The loans will be available for the northern regions of Yokneam/Megiddo (Mevo Carmel), Karmiel and the neighboring Arab town of Bar Lev, as well as Lehavim, the Bnei Shimon Regional Council and the Beduin town of Rahat in the South. An initial investment of $200,000, according to the UJC, will provide loan guarantees that will permit as much as $800,000 in bank loans ranging from NIS 150,000 to NIS 500,000 ($40,000 to $130,000). The loans hope to aid small businesses that would otherwise have no access to conventional bank loans, and that will relocate to, or expand within, the employment zones. Businesses will qualify for a loan if they show potential to expand and provide future employment opportunities for the local population. Approved loans are to be paid back over six years. The businesses must develop a business plan as well as present proposals to the Jewish Agency and CJAED to be accepted into this program. A committee has been established to oversee the loan fund and approve the applications. In the Social Venture Fund's f irst year, it awarded grants totaling $878,375 to 15 education and economic development projects of varying size, scope and focus, all of which are committed to improving the lives of Arab citizens, according to the UJC.

Washington Wary of Opposing Wall Street Bonuses BY ALEX OGLE In the wake of landmark profits posted by the US banking industry last week, Washington will seek to strike a delicate balance toward massive bonuses expected to be paid out by Wall Street, experts said.

f President Barack Obama's administration helps "to make this a bigger issue politically, they will be pushed to do things they don't want to," said Douglas Elliott of the Brookings Institution, referring to previous calls to cap compensation that were roundly rejected by Wall Street. In a bid to simultaneously support f inancial f irms' innovation and not enrage a downtrodden public facing a tough economy, the administration "would prefer not to spend much time on this topic," Elliott told AFP. Wall Street investment leader Goldman Sachs surmounted prof it forecasts on Thursday with a 3.19-billion-dollar gain in the third quarter -more than triple the amount posted for the same period last year. Fellow industry giant JPMorgan Chase similarly saw its quarterly gains soar to 3.6 billion dollars. Even struggling banker Citigroup topped expectations with 101 million dollars in prof it. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal estimated that the top 23 US banks and securities f irms are planning to pay out 140 billion dollars in bonuses to their staff -- a record high that surpasses the peak year of 2007. "The compensation issue is one of

the few remaining things that can get people very angry," Elliott said, noting that f inancial groups and government off icials alike are seeking to ensure "they can pay their people to keep them motivated" without arousing public anger. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said Sunday that he understood the anger at large bonuses, and said the banks had a key role to play in restoring conf idence in the f inancial system.

"Imposing strict rules on how you can pay people is a very slippery slope because in (this industry), such a move could be devastating," Washington will seek to strike a "They have a responsibility to the whole system. And it starts with not f ighting the f inancial regulatory system and the reforms that are necessary to protect consumers, homeowners, and others," he told CNN. "They have a responsibility to be part of the solution, not part of being the obstacle" and the forces Obama is f ighting, he added. Goldman Sachs chief f inancial off icer David Viniar was keen to demonstrate a degree of humility when peppered with questions on compensation, with the latest government f igures showing US unemployment hovering just below 10 percent - the highest in 26 years.

delicate balance toward massive bonuses expected to be paid out by Wall Street. "We are very focused on what is going on in the world," Viniar insisted on Thursday. "We are focused on the economic climate. We are focused on what is going on with other people." Wall Street is "mocking" the American people with their expected record bonuses, said Robert Weissman, president of the nonprof it consumer advocacy group Public Citizen. The f irms that would have implod-

ed without government bailouts are offering the bonuses after "resuming exactly the same speculative gambling... that crashed the f inancial system in the f irst place," he added. A week after taking off ice on January 20, Obama rebuked Wall Street titans who raked in millions in bonuses while being bailed out by taxpayers as "shameful" and guilty of acute "irresponsibility." The sentiments were echoed throughout the administration as wider disgust became evident with public protests erupting in the following months -- notably over compensation to staff of insurance giant AIG, a bailout recipient. But f inancial industry insider Don Lindner, executive compensation chief at the non-prof it human resources group Worldat Work, pointed to a worrisome trend with a company like Goldman Sachs that is "fairing well in a very diff icult economy... is getting criticized for the way (it is) paying." How such f irms compensate their workforce, he insisted, "is one of the reasons they have all the best people, and they are doing so well." If the government goes too far in trying to put brakes on bonus payments, he argued, it will stifle innovation because f inancial f irms will not be able to retain the personnel they need. "Imposing strict rules on how you can pay people is a very slippery slope because in (this industry), such a move could be devastating," said Lindner.

American Express and Holocaust Denial So easy to sit back and say nothing. History has a “history” of doing just that – after all, that doesn't affect me. t is incumbent upon each one of us to do what Assemblyman Dov Hikind and his legislative colleagues did to demand ethical conduct of all, even one of the most major financial giants, American Express, in initially granting a Merchants Account to the infamous Holocaust denier David Irving. . American Express has made promises to restrict Merchants from engaging in activities that would harm their business or brand and therefore it came as a surprise that such a prominent company would allow any type of aff iliation with Irving. Unquestionably, such a poor decision would generate negative feelings towards American Express and their lack of consideration towards those with whom Irving adamantly voices “hate” towards. Together with Conference Leader John L. Sampson, Hikind challenged AMEX Chairman and CEO Kenneth I. Chenault to stem the promotion of hate and act according to its own merchant reference guide which states that American Express has built a brand that is synonymous with trust, integrity, security, quality, and customer service. Surely, the legislators postulated that Mr. Irving’s actions constitute a breach of the merchant agreement. My undersigned colleagues and I strongly urge you to rescind Mr. Irving’s merchant agreement. Within hours of receiving the legislator’s communication, Christine Elliot, Vice President at American Express conf irmed that David Irving’s account has been revoked, effective immediately.

Hikind’s response was quick, simple, and appropriate. "We applaud American Express for doing the right thing. Let this be a lesson to all of us to remain vigilant against hate-mongers like Irving.” As a child of Holocaust survivors, Hikind’s family experience makes the spewing of Irving even more immediate- closer to home than the experience of many. As a member of the human family, it is incumbent upon him and each member of that family - each of us, that is - to demand ethical behavior of ourselves, our leaders, and our businesses.

Dear Editor, I have really been enjoying ALL of your travel articles! Not only are they very informative but the pictures are stunning and appropriate for anyone who is planning a vacation.

able and the displays of pictures that you presented of them are amazing! I hope that you continue to share more desitnations with your readers because I always look forward to this section. Best, Lynn Nathan

Dear Editor,

Remember the warning words of Martin Niemoller, a German, a Protestant, a Pastor following the Holocaust: “In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.”

Dear Editor, We are trying to get the word out to the Jewish community about New York City Opera's upcoming production of Esther. I am writing to ask that you please consider sharing this with the readers of Jewish Voice NY. "They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat." -Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Park Avenue Synagogue on the story of Esther "The dramatic parts of the story really belong in an opera." -Rabbi David Posner of Temple Emanu-El Hear Rabbi Cosgrove, Rabbi Posner and others discuss the story of Esther and the celebration of

Purim. As you may know, Weisgall's Esther is an opera based on the tale of the brave heroine, Queen Esther, who rescued her people from neardestruction and whose story is the basis for the holiday of Purim. This is the opera's first revival since its world premiere in 1993 at New York City Opera. Esther earned countless curtain calls and rave reviews for its vocal fireworks, hard-hitting drama, and striking visuals by revolutionary designer Jerome Sirlin. Many thanks, Erik

How Turkey Was Lost BY CAROLINE GLICK It isn't that Ankara's behavior changed fundamentally in recent days. There is nothing new in its massive hostility toward Israel and its effusive solicitousness toward the likes of Syria and Hamas. Since the Islamist AKP party first won control over the Turkish government in the 2002 elections, led by AKP chairman Recip Tayyip Erdogan, the Turks have incrementally and inexorably moved the formerly pro-Western Muslim democracy into the radical Islamist camp populated by the likes of Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, al-Qaida and Hamas. hat made Turkey's behavior this week different from its behavior in recent months and years is that its attacks were concentrated, unequivocal and undeniable for everyone outside of Israel's scandalously imbecilic and flagellant media. Until this week, both Israel and the US were quick to make excuses for Ankara. When in 2003 the AKP-dominated Turkish parliament prohibited US forces from invading Iraq through Kurdistan, the US blamed itself. Rather than get angry at Turkey, the Bush administration argued that its senior off icials had played the diplomatic game poorly. In February 2006, when Erdogan became the f irst international f igure to host Hamas leaders on an off icial state visit after the jihadist group won the Palestinian elections, Jerusalem sought to explain away his diplomatic aggression. Israeli leaders claimed that Erdogan's red carpet treatment for mass murderers who seek the physical destruction of Israel was not due to any inherent hostility on the part of the AKP regime toward Israel. Rather, it was argued that Ankara simply supported democracy and that the AKP, as a formerly outlawed Islamist party, felt an aff inity toward Hamas as a Muslim underdog.

Jerusalem made similar excuses for Ankara when during the 2006 war with Hizbullah Turkey turned a blind eye to Iranian weapons convoys to Lebanon that traversed Turkey; when Turkey sided with Hamas against Israel during Operation Cast Lead, and called among other things for Israel to be expelled from the UN; and when Erdogan caused a diplomatic incident this past January by castigating President Shimon Peres during a joint appearance at the Davos conference. So, too, Turkey's open support for Iran's nuclear weapons program and its galloping trade with Teheran and Damascus, as well as its embrace of alQaida f inanciers have elicited nothing more than grumbles from Israel and America. Initially, this week Israel sought to continue its policy of making excuses for Turkish aggression against it. On Sunday, after Turkey disinvited the IAF from the Anatolian Eagle joint air exercise with Turkey and NATO, senior off icials like Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and opposition leader Tzipi Livni tried to make light of the incident, claiming that Turkey remains Israel's strategic ally. But Turkey wasted no time in making fools of them. On Monday, 11 Turkish government ministers descended on Syria to sign a pile of cooperation agreements with Iran's Arab lackey. The Foreign Ministry didn't even have a chance to write apologetic talking points explaining that brazen move before Syria announced it was entering a military alliance with Turkey and would be holding a joint military exercise with the Turkish military. Speechless in the wake of Turkey's move to hold military maneuvers with its enemy just two days after it canceled joint training with Israel, Jerusalem could think of no mitigating explanation for the move. Tuesday was characterized by escalating verbal assaults on the Jewish state. First Erdogan renewed his libelous allegations that Israel deliberately killed children in Gaza. Then he called on Turks to learn how to make money like Jews do. Erdogan's anti-Israel and anti-

Semitic blows were followed on Tuesday evening by Turkey's government-controlled TRT1 television network's launch of a new prime-time series portraying IDF soldiers as baby- and little girl-killers who force Palestinian women to deliver stillborn babies at roadblocks and line up groups of Palestinians against walls to execute them by f iring squad. The TRT1 broadcast forced Israel's hand. Late on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry announced it was launching an off icial protest with the Turkish Embassy. Unfortunately, it was unclear who would be coming to the Foreign Ministry to receive the demarche, since Turkey hasn't had an ambassador in Israel for three weeks. TURKEY'S BREAK with the West; its decisive rupture with Israel and its opposition to the US in Iraq and Iran was predictable. Militant Islam of the AKP variety has been enjoying growing popularity and support throughout Turkey for many years. The endemic corruption of Turkey's traditional secular leaders increased the Islamists' popularity. Given this domestic Turkish reality, it is possible that Erdogan and his fellow Islamists' rise to power was simply a matter of time. But even if the AKP's rise to power was eminently predictable, its ability to consolidate its control over just about every organ of governance in Turkey as well as what was once a thriving free press, and change completely Turkey's strategic posture in just seven years was far from inevitable. For these accomplishments the AKP owes a debt of gratitude to both the Bush and Obama administrations, as well as to the EU. The Bush administration ignored the warnings of secular Turkish leaders in the country's media, military and diplomatic corps that Erdogan was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rather than pay attention to his past attempts to undermine Turkey's secular, pro-Western character and treat him with a modicum of suspicion, after the AKP electoral victory in 2002 the Bush administration upheld the AKP and Erdogan as paragons of Islamist moderation and proof positive that the US and the West have no prob-

lem with political Islam. Erdogan's softly peddled but remorselessly consolidated Islamism was embraced by senior American off icials intent on reducing democracy to a synonym for elections rather than acknowledging that democracy is only meaningful as a system of laws and practices that engender liberal egalitarianism. In a very real sense, the Bush administration's willingness to be taken in by Erdogan paved the way for its decision in 2005 to pressure Israel to allow Hamas to participate in the Palestinian elections and to coerce Egypt into allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to participate in its parliamentary poll. In Turkey itself, the administration's enthusiastic embrace of the AKP meant that Erdogan encountered no Western opposition to his moves to end press freedom in Turkey; purge the Turkish military of its secular leaders and end its constitutional mandate to preserve Turkey's secular character; intimidate and disenfranchise secular business leaders and diplomats; and stack the Turkish courts with Islamists. That is, in the name of its support for its waterdowned def inition of democracy, the US facilitated Erdogan's subversion of all the Turkish institutions that enabled liberal norms to be maintained and kept Turkey in the Western alliance. As for the Obama administration, since entering off ice in January it has abandoned US support for democracy activists throughout the world, in favor of a policy of pure appeasement of US adversaries at the expense of US allies. In keeping with this policy, President Barack Obama paid a preening visit to Ankara where he effectively endorsed the Islamization of Turkish foreign policy that has moved the NATO member into the arms of Teheran's mullahs. Taken together, the actions of the Bush and Obama White Houses have demoralized Westernized Turks, who now believe that their country is doomed to descend into the depths of Islamist extremism. As many see it, if they wish to remain in Turkey, their only recourse is to join the Islamist camp and add

Former Mayor Ed Koch Tells Bloomberg: Third Time Could Be The Charm BY ED KOCH In less than three weeks, New Yorkers will decide if Michael Bloomberg deserves a third term. Many political observers believe a third term in City Hall is jinxed and doomed to failure. any of those "jinx" prophets refer to my third term as an example of the city going awry. They recall the corruption in the Parking Violations Bureau, the conviction of Stanley Friedman and the suicide of Donald Manes. In reply, I point out that Friedman was the Bronx Democratic leader, independently

elected by that party and not appointed by me. Manes was the Queens borough president and Democratic County Leader - also not part of my team. Even my critics agreed that I was in no way aware of their corruption but, of course, it marred my third term because it happened on my watch. On the other hand, monumental legislation was adopted during my third term which I won with 78% of the vote in the general election - and we engaged in a lot of initiatives. Let me cite four that have stood the test of time: My $5.1 billion housing program created at least 150,000 new or substantially rehabilitated units and perhaps 100,000 more renovated units for low-and-moderateincome tenants; the Campaign Finance

Board provided public funding for city elections; the prohibition of smoking in restaurants, except at the bar area; and, the prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation. Of course, there are problems inherent in a third term, and strong mayoral leadership is needed to overcome them. They include retaining the good commissioners you appointed, finding new people who are the best and the brightest to join your administration's third term, completing programs and coming up with new initiatives. The question is whether Mayor Bloomberg can prove the "jinxers" wrong and go on to even greater success. Michael Bloomberg has a remarkable record of achievement. He undoubtedly will expand his housing program beyond 165,000

units of affordable housing and build on his school successes. His expertise will be desperately needed to guide the city through its financial crisis and estimated $5 billion budget deficit the city will face in the next fiscal year. There is a great deal to do in this city that never sleeps and that never remains the same: finding jobs for people who need them, delivering services with fewer resources, building schools, housing and parks and maintaining the city's roads and bridges are top priorities. The success of a third term depends on the mayor. Michael Bloomberg, taking into consideration his accomplishments to date and what he could do in a third term, could join LaGuardia - the gold standard for mayors - in the Hizzoner Hall of Fame.

Ehud Barak in Warsaw BY SHMUEL BEN ELIEZERREPORTING FROM POLAND Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, was in Europe last week where he held a series of meetings with top officials from Czech Republic and Poland on security ties between Israel and European countries, the Iranian threat, the Goldstone Commission report and the IsraeliPalestinian peace process. uring a press conference in Warsaw, Mr. Barak praised the new US plans for a missile shield as a more flexible and effective way to deal with a missile threat from Iran after a meeting Wednesday with his Polish counterpart, Bogdan Klich. "We listened very carefully to the American argumentation for changing their policy, and I came out convinced that it's really a professional (system)," Barak told journalists in Warsaw. The new approach provides more flexibility and will be in a short time a much more effective investment (to deal with) the challenge of missiles from Iran." Barak later met Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. Mr. Barak has recently been traveling all over Europe to try to convince leaders to disregard the infamous Goldstone Commission report. He has been criticized in Israel fir staying at expensive hotels, especialluy in France during the Paris Air Show. During his stay in Poland it was noted that he learnt his lesson and stayed at a moderately priced Warsaw Raddisson Hotel. During Mr. Barak's visit to Poland, he made sure to remember the Jews who were victims of German aggression during the Holocaust. He took his entourage on a visit to Auschwitz. Where they saw first hand much of the evidence of the Shoah. Following a memorial service for those who died there, Barak wrote in the VIP guest book, "Remember and don't forget. Preserve our strength and know to depend only on our-

selves. A strong Israel is both consolation and revenge for all those who died. Auschwitz never again." The group then continued to Warsaw to visit the former Warsaw Ghetto. Mr. Barak traveled with a large contingent of Israeli soldiers on a trip to Poland as part of a program call ‘Witnesses in Uniform’ then went to Warsaw for a military ceremony at Mila 18, the bunker headquarters of the commanders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Operation: "Save The Gaililee" Jewish Activists Take A Stand An interview with Joel Busner of B'Ahavat Yisrael while the neighboring Arab occupied villages did whatever they pleased. Now if you go to the Arab dominated areas throughout pre-1967 State of Israel you will see exactly the same thing. On state land, JNF land, private land owned by Jews, or whatever, you will see Arabs building huge homes and the law be damned. You will even hear them shooting their guns off at weddings at night.

BY: FERN SIDMAN After making aliya to Israel almost 10 years ago, American Jewish activist Joel Busner never thought that he'd be spearheading a campaign to help reclaim Jewish agricultural land in the Galilee that has been commandeered by Arabs, but that is precisely what he's doing. usner’s charitable organization, B'Ahavat Yisrael, has focused it's energy and resources on delivering food packages and providing essential services to beleaguered Jews in such places as Sderot and to those Jewish evacuees from Gaza, but now his motto has become, "it's time to take our country back" as he addresses the issues of saving Jewish land in the Galilee, teaching Jews about the importance of agricultural skills and reviving the concept of Jewish labor.

The Jewish Connection sat down with Joel Busner to hear of his program. Q: Can you give us some background on the claim that Jewish land in Israel is being taken over by Arabs? A: Arabs can now buy homes in Jewish villages such as Poriya, where I live, in the Lower Galilee just outside of Tiberias. All over the country, in such places as Lod, Ramle, Nazareth Elite, Acko, Yaffo, etc, Arabs are buying and Jews are leaving. The Negev is being taken over by blatant Bedouin land grabs and there are thousands upon thousands of illegal houses all over the Negev. Jewish shepherds and farmers are being driven out of business by the Bedouin thieves. Jewish farmers in the Galilee are being bullied on a daily basis by their Arab neighbors. According to a Jerusalem Post article of August 15, 2009, wealthy individuals from Arab states such as tycoons from the Gulf, who do not have diplomatic relations with Israel, have recently purchased hundreds of dunams of agricultural land in the Galilee and the Israel Lands Administration said it could not interfere with the transaction since the lands are privately owned. Q: Are any elected officials speaking out about this problem? A: Mayor Shimon Gapso of Nazareth Illit

Joel Busner as he coordinates food deliveries to the Jews of Sderot. was recently quoted as saying, "The State of Israel's plan was that 45% of the Galilee will be Jewish by 2010. In reality, we are less than 40%, and if the State doesn't make sure to bring Jews here en masse, we will lose the Galilee". Q: Why do you think that Jews are selling land to Arabs? A: Arab gangs are terrorizing Jewish farmers and ranchers to force them to give up their lands. There are many who are paying these Arabs protection money to be left alone. Many are selling out to Arabs fearing they will be left with nothing if they don't, as they know full well that the Israeli police and legal system will do nothing to protect their rights. Demographically, the Galilee now has an Arab majority and the Negev is quickly following suit. What is being done by the Israeli leadership? Virtually nothing. All over the country, if a Jew wants to build a home, you must pay for land, get permits, etc. You must pay Arnona (property tax). Land is expensive if zoned for residential construction. You pay for garbage collection, water and sewage, and an over bloated bureaucracy. That is, of course, if you live in a Jewish area. On the other hand, Arab-onlyoccupied cities and villages are different. They build wherever they want and whatever they want. Permits? You have to be joking. Years ago the Jews of Judea and Samaria complained about how small their housing plots were and that they had to purchase plots from the Israeli authorities (long term lease)

Q: You mentioned the Jewish National Fund. Accusations have been leveled against them for allowing Jewish owned land to be illegally seized by Arab squatters. Can you tell us more information about that?

A: Arabs have constructed communities on some 320 acres (1,300 dunams) of Jewish-owned land in the Jerusalem area and the JNF has done nothing to prevent this illegal seizure of land. The communities of Kalandiya, Kfar Akev and Shuafat, in northern Jerusalem – was purchased by the JNF in the early 1900s from Jewish donor monies, for the sole purpose of serving as land where Jews could live. Illegal Arab construction on the land began after 1948 and has been ongoing, but most of it was carried out in the last 15-20 years, with some apartment complexes added in 2004 and other construction is still ongoing. Q: What can Jews in Israel do to maintain ownership of their agricultural land? A: We must begin to promote the concept of Jewish labor. For many years, we at B'Ahavat Yisrael have recruited hundreds of Israeli youths for fruit picking and other forms of manual labor. The early pioneers understood that to be normal, Jews had to engage in various sorts of labor. By doing that they earned a country. Today Jews are discouraged from doing manual labor. Instead you have Arabs, Thais, Africans, etc, doing more and more jobs. Then you go to the States and find Itzik from Israel moving your neighbor's furniture. Arabs who live here have less living expenses and are at an

advantage. Thai workers who live 5 or 6 in a small caravan and don't pay taxes and send every shekel back to Thailand are at a huge advantage. Take out these scab workers and you will create a slightly higher paid Jewish worker. Not everyone is suited for a computer job and not everyone can be a doctor and Israel has far too many lawyers. Personally, I'd rather pay a half shekel more for my lettuce but know that the money is staying in our economy. Q: What are your immediate objectives in implementing this plan? A: For the last few years we have dreamed of having a Center in the Galilee. We wanted to build a special place; a place where Jewish youths from the Diaspora could come together with Jewish youths from Israel with a common purpose; to rediscover our land, our heritage. A place that will teach real Torat Eretz Yisrael; a center that will demonstrate that Jews can use a shovel in the morning and sit and learn Torah in the afternoon. A place that will go to the olive groves and assist Jewish farmers so that the olive oil can advertise 'Jewish Holy Land Olive Oil'. . On November 22, 2009 in New York, Friends of B'Ahavat Yisrael will be hosting a special dinner titled 'Save the Galilee'. Proceeds from donations will go to the building of the B'Ahavat Yisrael Torah V’Avoda Ivrit Youth Center in the Lower Galilee. During the dinner there will be a presentation about a special business exhibition and a new and exciting program called 'Buy a Piece of Israel' which will allow Jews everywhere to purchase parts of agricultural plots in the Galilee with other Jews and have those plots managed by a Jewish owned company with Jewish laborers. Plots are either being bought from Arabs or from distressed Jewish owners who are about to sell to Arabs. Every plot purchased is another plot saved by and for the Jewish nation. Proceeds from each plot will be divided between the management and the investors. We see this as the perfect ideological investment and ask all concerned Jews to participate.The dinner will take place at the Rockwood Park Jewish Center in Howard Beach, Queens.

Polish Synagogue Holds Shabbat for 1st Time Since The Holocaust BY JTA Shabbat will come to a Polish synagogue for the first time since the Holocaust. ervices will be held Friday night and Saturday at the Kielce synagogue, which was reconstructed after World War II and since 1951 has been used as the district archives. A traditional Shabbat dinner, a guided walk through Jewish Kielce and a Havdalah ceremony will be followed by a party. Interfaith meetings will include prayers in two Christian churches.

“The Kielce weekend is the latest in a series of Shabbaton programs in long-disused Polish synagogues organized by Michael Traison...” Some 25,000 Jews lived in Kielce before World War II; 20,000 were murdered by the Nazis. The town is infamous as the site of the last pogrom in

Poland, a massacre of 42 Jews by a mob who attacked the Jewish community house more than a year after the war was over, on July 4, 1946.

“Traison said he wanted to remember the destroyed communities, and to demonstrate that the Jewish people survived and thrived...” The Kielce weekend is the latest in a series of Shabbaton programs in longdisused Polish synagogues organized by Michael Traison, an American lawyer who has an off ice in Warsaw. Earlier events took place in Pinczow, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Przemysl and Lublin. Traison said he wanted to remember the destroyed communities, and to demonstrate that the Jewish people survived and thrived, and still exist in Poland . He also wanted to bring together Poles and Jews, as well as "provide a Jewish religious experience for people who would like to participate in such an experience and enjoy a good Shabbat.”

IRAN: ISRAEL BEHIND ATTACK After accusing the United States and Britain of involvement in the suicide attack that took place in south Iran on Sunday, the Islamic Republic on Monday claimed that Israel was also involved in the terror attack. Five senior Revolutionary Guards commanders and 37 others were killed in the bombing. Revolutionary Guard chief Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said Monday that the Sunni rebel group, known as Jundallah, or Soldiers of God, is at work to disrupt security in Iran and he vowed to deliver a "crushing" response. When asked how those responsible for the attack would be punished, Jafari said, "The American and Israeli intelligence agencies are behind this. We must pay them back in order to punish them, and, God willing, we hope to be able to do so."

SHABBOS VAAD PLANNING TO TARGET ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS As the Eida Chareidim resume protests against the Shabbat operation of Karta parking lot, they have prepared a list of 160 entertainment places operating in Jerusalem on Shabbat, according to the daily, Yisrael HaYom. According to the report, the vaad’s chairman, Rav Yosef Rosenfeld stated that this is unacceptable and the vaad plans to act towards changing this reality. . Eida officials are also quoted as saying this is additional proof that allegations the capital is become ‘chareidized’

are simply untrue, and unfortunately, the center of Jerusalem is no different than Tel Aviv regarding stores operating on Shabbat.

INTERNATIONAL FACEBOOK LAUNCHES AUSCHWITZ PAGE Facebook the popular social networking site will help it reach young people around the globe. The site, which opened earlier this week, already has more than 1,000 "fans" who have subscribed. Many have left messages in English, Hebrew and Polish, the majority expressing the sentiment: "Never again." "This is a kind of an experiment on our side," memorial spokesman Pawel Sawicki said ."Facebook is the tool that young people are using to communicate, so if we want to reach them, we should be using their tool." Between 1940-45, some 1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed or died of starvation, disease and forced labor at the camp, which the Nazis built in occupied Poland. Sawicki said the memorial's 1 million annual visitors are primarily students and other young people.

SHOTS FIRED AT THE VEHICLE OF ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO CHILE Local police are investigating a shooting incident, shots f ired at the vehicle of Israel’s ambassador to Chile. Ambassador David Dadon and a security agent were heading to the vehicle on Tuesday, in Santiago, the capital of Chile. Damage was reported to a window and splash guard behind one vehicle tire. Police were summoned immediately, and the determination was made that the damage was caused by gunf ire. There were no eyewitnesses and people interviewed by police insist they did not see anything out of the ordinary. Police are investigating two possible angles, a terror incident or a stray bullet.

COMPLAINTS SPUR THAIS TO COVER HITLER BILLBOARD A giant billboard showing Adolf Hitler giving a Nazi salute located along

a major highway in Thailand was covered up. The billboard, which for two weeks had advertised a waxworks museum set to open in the coastal city of Pattaya, read in Thai "Hitler is not dead." It was covered Sunday after about 100 complaints and a protest letter from the Israeli Embassy, as well as a complaint from the German Embassy, according to the Bangkok Post. Louis Tussaud's Waxworks managing director Somporn Naksuetrong apologized for the billboard. "It is totally unacceptable to have such a monster like Adolf Hitler on public display," Israeli Ambassador Itzhak Shoham told the Bangkok Post. "How this could happen is beyond my understanding and comprehension."

USA NEWS PENTAGON MAN ARRESTED ON ISRAEL SPY ATTEMPT CHARGE U.S. authorities arrested a Defense Department off icial who allegedly agreed to spy for Israel. Stewart David Nozette, 52, of Maryland, allegedly told an FBI agent claiming to be an Israeli agent that he had access to U.S. satellite information and had once held top security clearances, news agencies reported on Monday. Nothing in the complaint suggests that Israel's government was involved in the alleged crimes. Nozette, who also worked for NASA, once designed "highly advanced" technology at the Energy Department, Bloomberg reported. Nozette, arrested by FBI agents on Monday, will appear on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. on charges of attempted spying.

US WOMAN HONORED FOR SAVING JEWS Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center in Westchester County honoring 89-year-old retired psychiatrist Tina Strobos, who hid more than 100 Jews during WWII in Amsterdam, not far from Anne Frank's house A human rights group is honoring an 89-year-old New York woman who hid more than 100 Jews in Amsterdam during World War II – not far from Anne Frank's house. Retired psychiatrist Tina Strobos will be at Monday's ceremony hosted by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center in Westchester County, The New

York Times reported. Strobos was a medical student when she risked her life to hide Jews in the home she and her mother shared. The fugitives lived in a secret compartment near the attic. Strobos also took ration stamps by bicycle to Jews hiding at farms and hid guns for the Dutch resistance. She was repeatedly stopped and questioned by the Nazis.

MEMPHIS FRAT HOUSE PAINTED WITH SWASTIKAS The future home of a Jewish fraternity in Tennessee was painted with swastikas. The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity has not yet moved into the house on fraternity row at the University of Memphis, but the swastikas spray-painted Tuesday were accompanied by the message "welcome to frat row, Jews," according to media reports in Memphis. The fraternity is purchasing the empty home from the university. “I was a little intimidated at f irst, but it's quite possible it could be a fraternity prank they didn't realize the seriousness of the situation,” Thomas Holland, president of the ZBT chapter, told Eyewitness News Memphis.

PROTESTS GREET OLMERT AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Protesters demonstrated against a speech by Ehud Olmert at the University of Chicago. About 150 protesters representing a coalition of Palestinian and Muslim groups protested Oct. 15 at the university as the former Israeli prime minister took the stage as part of the King Abdullah II Annual Leadership Lecture series at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies, according to the Chicago Tribune. Some 400 people attended the speech, which was interrupted several times by protesters. Some 25 students were ejected from the hall during the speech. A speech the previous evening at the University of Kentucky drew dozens of protesters, mostly members of the Islamic Society of Central Kentucky, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

Shakshuka, Reinvented BY JANNA GUR, AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF NEW ISRAELI FOOD In "The Book of New Israeli Food" I stated that shakshuka is comprised of 3 mandatory ingredients: eggs, tomatoes and hot sauce. Well, it’s time I took that back – shakshuka has since evolved into so much more. These days, all that’s needed are eggs, a skillet and a bit of imagination. riginally from Lybia, this humble dish was for many years confined to home kitchens, with rare appearances at roadside eateries, where it was sometimes, quite oddly, served in a pita. The home-to-restaurant change came about when "Doctor Shakshuka" opened its doors some 15 years ago. This quirky cavernous joint, strategically situated near Jaffa Flea Market, drew both locals and tourists. Bino, who still owns the place, specializes in the straightforward version of shakshuka – spicy tomatobased sauce finished with sunny side up eggs. But what most restaurants offer as shakshuka today is only loosely reminiscent of the original. Spinach, Swiss chard, coconut milk, seafood, and mushrooms are just some of the ingredients to have found their way into an egg-topped skillet. Chefs love shakshuka: it’s versatile, lets their creativity shine and most of the prep can be done in advance. Which is precisely why shakshuka is so much fun to make at home.

Here are a few basic rules you should follow to make the perfect shakshuka:

1. Use a heavy, relatively deep skillet. Make sure the lid has a valve to provide an outlet for the steam. 2. The shakshuka sauce base should be fully cooked and seasoned before you add the eggs. Once they are in the pan, you cannot stir the sauce and adjust the seasoning. 3. The idea is to have perfect unbroken yolks. To avoid accidents, break each one into a bowl then slide carefully onto the base. 4. For a prettier looking shakshuka, add only yolks to the skillet (with just a little bit of the egg white). 5. If you are making a large shakshuka, to be shared, make sure yolks are evenly distributed in the skillet. Shakshuka with Eggplant and Goat Cheese Fiery red with puddles of white and yellow, this colorful piquant dish is eaten directly from the pan. A thick slice of fresh bread to mop up the spicy sauce is a must. Ingredients (serves 6) • 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons olive oil • 1 medium eggplant diced into 1 cm (1/2 inch) cubes • 2 cloves garlic, sliced • 8 ripe tomatoes cut into 2 cm (1 inch) cubes • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 teaspoon hot and/or sweet paprika • Salt and freshly ground black pepper • 6 eggs • 4-5 slices fresh soft goat cheese 1. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large, deep

Shakshuka with Eggplant and Goat Cheese skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the eggplant until golden. Remove and set on paper towel to absorb the excess oil. 2. Lower the heat and add the 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and sauté for half a minute, taking care not to let it get brown. Add the tomatoes and eggplants, season with cumin, salt, pepper and paprika, and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. The sauce must be flavorful and fully seasoned before adding the eggs. 3. Break the eggs, one by one, into a small bowl and slide them carefully into the frying pan. Arrange the cheese slices on top, cover and cook for 2-5 minutes (depending on how you like your eggs). Serve at once with lots of fresh bread or challah. Shakshuka with Spinach, Swiss Chard and Caramelized Onion Ingredients • Spinach and Swiss Chard Base (serves 16): • 3 lbs red onions, halved and sliced • 1/2 cup oil • 1 tablespoon sugar • 7 large bunches Swiss chard, chopped • 2 lbs spinach • 1/2 cup dry white wine • 2 cups heavy cream • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper • 3 teaspoons salt • 1 cup fresh basil leaves • For Shakshuka (per serving): • 2 eggs • 1 tablespoon butter

Shakshuka with Spinach, Swiss Chard and Caramelized Onion • 1 heaping tablespoon fresh ricotta • a dash of ground chili pepper (optional) 1. Prepare the base: Heat the oil in a skillet, add onions, sprinkle with sugar and fry gently until the onion is soft and goldenbrown, about 10 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large pot and blanch Swiss chard only until it wilts. Plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and squeeze out excess liquids. Set aside. 3. In the same pot blanch spinach until it wilts and turns bright green. Plunge in ice water and squeeze out excess liquids. Set aside. 4. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet, add spinach, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine and cook until it evaporates. Add cream and basil leaves. Season with pepper, salt and nutmeg and cook until thick sauce is formed. 5. Add Swiss chard and fried onions, mix and adjust seasoning. The base can be used immediately or kept refrigerated for 2-3 days. 6. When ready to serve the shakshuka: melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan. Spread a 1/2 inch thick layer of the spinachSwiss chard base. Using a wooden spoon handle, create two craters in the sauce and slide 2 eggs into them. Cook until yolks are set but still soft. Add ricotta and chili and serve immediately.

Faces of Hope, Jewelry Making is Making A Difference

BY: FERN SIDMAN

BY KERRIN BLACK

Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, founder and president of Hineni, the internationally renowned Torah outreach organization, will be introducing her new film entitled, "Triumph of the Spirit" at the highly acclaimed Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival on November 1st.

The Faces of Hope Foundation is a Section 21, non-profit organisation, which spent over two years in conceptualisation, before being off icially registered. Purely voluntary based, the foundation has two overriding objectives. Firstly, Faces of Hope seeks to assist select cancer sufferers in meeting basic financial costs to cover debilitating (not only on the body, but also on the pocket) oncology treatment. And secondly, the foundation is committed to raising awareness levels of, and educating the general public, on rare forms of cancer and leukemias.

his exceptionally poignant and powerful 20 minute documentary on the Rebbetzin's life during the Holocaust years and beyond was selected as an entry at the festival and the organizers requested that Rebbetzin Jungreis introduce the film to their audience.

“The film also demonstrates that the spirit of man is infinitely more powerful than Hitler or his mighty armies and that the flame of faith is more intense than the fires of the crematorium.” This inspiring f ilm is a living and breathing testament to the resilience of the Jewish soul and the power of faith in Hashem during the maelstrom that def ined the most horrif ic period in modern Jewish history.

Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis is the founder and president of Hineni, the international Torah outreach program. The f ilm also demonstrates that the spirit of man is inf initely more powerful than Hitler or his mighty armies and that the flame of faith is more intense than the f ires of the crematorium. Subsequent to the f ilm's screening, the Rebbetzin will be speaking about the f ilm at the Jewish Community Center of Fort Lauderdale and taking audience questions. She will also be showing at the f ilm the following evening at 'The Shul' in Bal Harbour, Florida.

Boost Your Immunity Against The Flu

Gene Therapy for Parkinson's "Encouraging" in Early Trials BY AFP

BY STEPHANIE T. JACOB A gene therapy for Parkinson's disease that has been tested on lab monkeys is showing good early results in a small-scale trial on humans, French researchers said.

As you prepare for the fall flu season by getting a flu shot, stocking up on hand sanitizing gel and decreasing your doorknob exposure, consider bolstering your immune system's ability to fight viruses, including H1N1 swine flu, by adding certain foods to your diet. e're not sure of all the reasons why our bodies break down, but we do know that food can absolutely help to build us up," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D., spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and weightloss expert in New York City. "It's so important to prevent illness to begin with by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, following a healthy diet and not skipping meals. These are sure-fire ways to help boost your immune system," she says. "There's no single food that will do the trick," she says. "Variety is important." Here, Taub-Dix's top foods for flu season. Garlic Chopping garlic releases allicin, a sulfercontaining compound that houses a potent antioxidant, says Taub-Dix. "Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals that can damage them, making it harder for cells to fight disease," says Taub-Dix, who suggests adding fresh garlic to sautéed vegetables. Yogurt and Kefir Embracing certain kinds of bacteria can actually help your immune system. Yogurt (look for cartons that say they contain "live,

In a recent study, probiotic bacteria was actually found to increase the body's immune response to viruses that cause common infections like colds and flus by boosting Tcell production. Yogurt is also high in vitamin D, says Taub-Dix. A separate study found low levels of vitamin D to be associated with a heightened risk for respiratory infections like the flu.

he therapy entails taking three genes that produce dopamine, a key neurochemical that is depleted in Parkinson's. The genes are then inserted into a disabled equine virus that is then injected into the brain. Six human volunteers began clinical trials a year ago, and the results are "extremely encouraging," as measured in control of Parkinson's symptoms and in side effects such as brain inflammation, neurosurgeon Stephane Palf i told AFP.

“There was 80 percent recovery among the animals, "and the results were stable for up to 44 years after treatment.” Another half-dozen volunteers are going to be recruited into the trial, said Jarraya, of the Henri Mondor Hospital

in Paris. If all goes well, a so-called Phase III trial, involving a large number of patients to assess the treatment for safety and effectiveness, would start from 2013. The tentative trials on humans were authorised after three and a half years of experiments on macaque monkeys that had been given neurotoxins to replicate Parkinson's syndrome. The monkey experiments are reported on Wednesday in the US journal Science Translational Medicine. The gene therapy, called ProSavin, restored the monkeys' levels of dopamine, corrected motor problems and prevented dyskinesias, as jerkiness, rigidity and tremor are called. There was "80 percent recovery" among the animals, "and the results were stable for up to 44 years after treatment," said fellow neurosurgeon Bechir Jerraya. Parkinson's is characterized by the loss of cells which produce dopamine, a critically important neurotransmitter that ferries chemical messages within the brain. In approximately one third of cases it also results in dementia. The disease affects at least one percent of people over the age of 65. Well-known people with the disease include former pope John Paul II and the movie actor Michael Fox.

Use New Technology in Moderation When Treating Children with Autism treat children with autism. Unquestionably, many of these devices have focused parents caring for children with autism to f ix their attention on these assisting tools, and place less emphasis on one-onone social enhancing techniques.

BY PAULA PINTO New technology programs are promising parents “quick fixes” to help their autistic children, but just as anything else, these programs are to be used in moderation along with other techniques that are based on aiding social interaction. ccording to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, children with autism process visual information easier than auditory information. Any time we use assistive technology devices with these children, we're giving them information through their strongest processing area (visual). Therefore various types of technology from "low" tech to "high" tech, should be incorporated into every aspect of daily living in order to improve the functional capabilities of children with autism. However, over the past few years there has been an exasperating flow of computer games, television

“When these devices are being completely trusted to correct the behaviors in autistic children, parents will be disappointed with the results.”

Parents and guardians are being informed to focus less on technological programs and more on social interaction to help children with autism. shows, and sight and sound technology devices that are luring parents to utilize them as a main source to

While many of these new programs may be helpful in aiding their progress, when parents turn solely to these technological devices, it is said to create somewhat of a barrier between the autistic child and both therapists and parents. Apparently the repetition of sight and motions are so insidious that caregivers are having trouble invading the space between their child and the device.

According to Education Week, experts are leery as to the amount of time that these technological devices ae being used to treat children with autism. "Those students need help with social skills, says Yvonne Domings, the instructional designer and research associate at the Wakef ield, Mass.-based Center for Applied Special Technology, a nonprof it organization that researches learning opportunities for students with disabilities, and “that’s just not what computers are good at,” she says. “Computers and video games are not going to teach a kid with autism how to interact socially.” Repetition and echolalia are only one aspect of working with children with autism. When these devices are being completely trusted to correct the behaviors in autistic children, parents will be disappointed with the results. The colors, sounds, and motion invite children into their own world rather than focusing on social interaction. Such a powerful isolation is said to be counterproductive to aiding children with autism.

Parashat Bereishit 5770, 2009: “Understanding Kafui Tovah (Rejecting the Good)” BY RABBI DAVID ETENGOFF Dedicated to the sacred memory of my sister-in-law, Ruchama Rivka Sondra aleah hashalom and the refuah shlaimah of Sarah bat Rachel, Yoseh Shmuel ben Miriam, and HaRav Shimon ben Chaya Hakohen. afui tovah is a recurring theme throughout Tanach (the Hebrew Canon of Scripture). It may be translated as rejection of a specific act of good or kindness that someone has done for you, i.e. ingratitude. Let us examine upon two of these instances. The f irst example of kafui tovah occurs in Sefer Bereishit 3:13, immediately following Hashem’s recognition of Adam’s transgression against his one and only commandment, the prohibition of eating from the Tree of Knowledge: “And the man said, ‘The woman whom You gave [to be] with me she gave me of the tree; so I ate.’" Chava had been given to Adam as an ezer k’negdo (helpmate). In recognition that she alone was his complement in this world he had declared: “This time, it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called ishah (woman) because this one was taken from ish (man).” (Sefer Bereishit 2:23, this, and all translations from The Judaica Press

Complete Tanach) Given this awareness, said to one another, "Come, let us make Adam’s proper response to Hashem’s bricks and f ire them thoroughly"; so the statement of his transgression should bricks were to them for stones, and the have been the recognition and rejection clay was to them for mortar. And they of his sin, and a statement that he would said, "Come, let us build ourselves a categorically refrain from this action in city and a tower with its top in the heavthe future. In other words, he should ens, and let us make ourselves a name, have taken responsibility for his actions lest we be scattered upon the face of the and pursued the steps of behavior trans- entire earth." And the L-rd descended to formation that we see the city and the call teshuvah tower that the sons (repentance). He, of the man had however, failed to built. And the L-rd do so. Instead, he said, "Lo! [they blamed Chava for one people, “Man attempted to replace are] “causing him to and they all have sin,” and G-d for G-d, and thereby denied the one language, and giving her to him. this is what they power and grandeur In doing so, he have commenced of his Creator...” engaged in kafui to do. Now, will it tovah, and radicalnot be withheld ly missed the from them, all that opportunity to they have planned spiritually grow to do? Come, let and develop. us descend and Our parasha, in confuse their lanSefer Bereishit 11:1guage, so that one 9, contains a telling example of kafui will not understand the language of his tovah; namely, the story of the Tower of companion." And the L-rd scattered Babel: them from there upon the face of the Now the entire earth was of one lan- entire earth, and they ceased building guage and uniform words. And it came the city. Therefore, He named it Babel, to pass when they traveled from the for there the L-rd confused the language east, that they found a valley in the land of the entire earth, and from there the Lof Shinar and settled there. And they rd scattered them upon the face of the entire earth. Rashi (1040-1105), basing himself upon Midrash Bereishit Rabbah 38:9, noted the very odd use of the heh hayediah (the letter “heh” as the def inite article) in verse 11:4 (“asher banu b’nai ha’adam,” “that the sons of the man had built”) and made the following observation: But the sons of whom else [could they have been]? The sons of donkeys and camels? Rather, [this refers to] the sons of the f irst man, who was ungrateful and said (above 3: 12):“The woman whom You gave [to be] with me.” These, too, were ungrateful in rebelling against the One Who lavished goodness upon them, and saved them from the Flood. (Translation from The Judaica Press Complete Tanach, emphasis my own) Thus, according to Rashi, the builders of the Migdal Bavel (Tower of Babel) are the consummate example of b’nai kafui tovah. Instead of being grateful and showing their appreciation to Hashem for sparing them from the death and destruction of the mabul (the Flood), they acted with disdain and superciliousness toward Him. Kafui tovah takes f irm root and flourishes in an environment and societal structure wherein man believes he, rather than Gd, is the measure of all things. This was precisely the culture and psychological orientation of the Generation of the Flood (dor hamabul). Man attempted to replace G-d, and thereby denied the power and grandeur of his Creator: "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make ourselves a name …” Quite simply, they wished to rebel against G-d - the Name (Hashem) - dethrone Him, and establish themselves as the masters of the universe. Unfortunately, this tale of unmitigated hubris has been told and

retold throughout history: Man arrogantly rejects G-d, “makes himself a name,” repudiates the ethics and morality of the Torah, and, ultimately selfdestructs. The great Lithuanian Rosh Hayeshiva, Rav Natan Tzvi Finkel zatzal (1849-1927, “the Alter of Slobodka”), was the founder and leader of the famous Yeshiva of Slobodka. In addition, he was one of the giants of the modern Musar movement. He built upon Rashi’s above-stated comment, and noted that the entire orientation and inherent corruption of the dor hamabul: …that motivated them to rebel against Hashem, and build the Tower of Babel, was solely because they were “the children of the man,” the children of the selfsame original Adam who had engaged in kafui tovah. Now, we have the perspective to see how far–ranging [are the effects] of improving our ethical behaviors (hamidot hamusariot) or [G-d forbid,] their diminishment. They last for generations to come, for both good and bad. (From Rabbi Aharon Yaakov Greenberg’s work Itturei Torah, translation my ow

“Let us be honest and ask ourselves some difficult questions...”

I believe that Rav Finkel’s words carry a highly practical message for our own time. By def inition, we are the children of the “selfsame original Adam who had engaged in kafui tovah.” Ingratitude, therefore, is an all too easy middah (behavior trait) for us to embrace. Let us be honest and ask ourselves some diff icult questions: Do we express our appreciation to our spouses for their many acts of care and concern, or do we sometimes take these, and them, for granted? Do we remember to thank our children when they act in a thoughtful and respectful manner, or do we simply consider these positive behaviors our due? Do we recognize, rather than merely expect, the kindness and efforts of our friends and fellow workers? Our individual responses to these questions will be different. Yet, upon honest reflection, one thing is quite clear – we all have room to grow in our relationships with the signif icant people in our lives. No one of us is perfect in the area of bein adam l’chaveiro (between man and his fellow man). With G-d’s help, may this be the year wherein each and every one of us strives to grow in hakaret hatov (recognition of the good) and rejects, once and for all, the middah of kafui tovah. V’chane yihi ratzo. Shabbat Shalom

Boost Your Immunity Against The Flu...Continued from page 32 to decreased response to vaccination and impaired immune cell function, especially in the elderly. But don't overdo it: A few of these provide enough zinc for the day, according to Taub-Dix. Tea Tea is rich in polyphenols, chemicals found in plant foods that act like antioxidants

to protect cells. And while green and white teas are particularly potent, all teas will have some benefit, says Taub-Dix. Lean Protein "Protein is important for tissue repair," says Taub-Dix, who recommends proteins like white meat chicken, low-fat cheese or cottage cheese. Low amounts of protein have

also been found to impair the immune system and have negative effects on T-cells. Citrus Fruits No surprise here. Taub-Dix recommends pink grapefruits, oranges and mangoes, which are all rich in the antioxidant vitamin C, something our bodies don't produce or store on their own. And says Taub-Dix,

"Studies have shown it can decrease the duration of a cold or flu-like symptoms." If you do begin experiencing flu-like symptoms see your doctor. "Even though I believe that eating these foods regularly can help you stay healthy, they're not a substitute for seeing your health care provider for proper medication when needed," Taub-Dix says.

New York to Get Israeli-Style Diamond Exchange...Continued from page 15 We have the backing of the local and state governments and believe it is a mere formality before we receive federal approval," said Haas. The $750 million building was designed by the architectural f irm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, who are known for their forward-looking designs, which can be seen in projects such as Dubai's Inf inity Tower and the international terminal in San Francisco. The f irst construction phase of the Manhattan tower, which includes three underground levels that will house gem industry vault operations, utility infrastructure, parking facilities and retail, has already begun and is being constructed by Tishman Construction

Company of New York City. The f irst construction phase is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with overall construction scheduled for completion in 2011. On October 19, the visiting Extell team will host an event at the Cullinan Restaurant, located on the "bridge" between the Shimshon and Maccabi buildings, opposite the Israel Diamond Exchange trading hall. A detailed presentation will be given about the project, with handouts available both in English and in Hebrew. Haas said that the team had already paid visits to Mumbai and Hong Kong before traveling to Israel. In welcoming the Extell team's visit,

Avi Paz, president of the Israel Diamond Exchange noted that "our industry is always on the lookout for innovation and renewal. I hope that Extell's IGT project will help improve the conditions under which the diamond, gem and jewelry trade does business on 47th Street." Following the event, the Extell representatives plan to spend the week in Israel for private meetings with Israeli diamond company representatives. The Israeli diamond sector has experienced a slight upturn in recent months, despite the ongoing recession that has struck a serious blow to the luxury goods industry. Compared to f igures from the end of 2008, which saw pol-

ished diamond exports drop by more than 90%, since the beginning of 2009, exports are down by only 50% from predepression levels. State diamond controller Shmuel Mordechai explained that the f irst nine months of the year showed a large drop in the import and export of both rough and polished diamonds, in Israel and other countries, due to the global economic crisis , but that an upward turn has been discerned since the beginning of the year. "The improvement will continue over the next few months and exports will rise, but it will take a few years for the market to return to the activity of 2007 and 2008," said Mordechai.

US Budget Deficit Hits Record $1.4 Trillion...Continued from page 17 with Congress to bring them down to a sustainable level as the economy recovers," he said. Orszag said "it was critical that we acted to bring the economy back from the brink earlier this year," referring to the f inancial crisis that resulted from a housing market meltdown. The crisis plunged the country into recession in December 2007 and led to the collapse of f inancial and investment houses and a massive government bailout of some of the institutions. "As we move from rescue to recovery, the president recognizes that we need to put the nation back on a f iscally sustainable path," Orszag said. As part of the f iscal year 2011 budg-

et policy process, he said the Obama administration was considering proposals to put the country "back on f irm f iscal footing." The numbers come as Obama and Democrats in Congress are trying to approve an overhaul of the US health care system, without adding to the def icit. A recent analysis of one of the major reform bills said the measure would save 81 billion dollars over 10 years. Obama's Republican critics have stepped up their calls for the president to abandon his key reform plans to remake US health care and combat climate change that some estimate could cost several trillions of dollars.

"Congress simply can?t continue acting like a teenager on a spending spree with his parent?s credit card with no regard to who pays the bill," said US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. "We need to listen to the American people: No more spending money we don?t have," he said. Judd Gregg, the Republican leader of the Senate budget committee, predicted the Obama administration would be saddled with "def icits approaching one trillion dollars for each and every one of the next 10 years." "These annual def icits translate into a build-up in debt that will crush our economy."

But House of Representatives budget committee chairman John Spratt said "It would be harmful to try to balance the budget at a time when the economy has not fully recovered and so many Americans are still struggling." "So as the economy recovers, we will need to turn our focus back to def icit reduction." Meanwhile, Senator Kent Conrad, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said the def icit announcement "again highlights the f iscal mess handed to the Obama administration" by the administration of former president George W. Bush.

is the only permanent feature of the human condition. A country's presence in the Western camp today is no guarantee that it will remain there in the future. Whether a regime is democratic or authoritarian or somewhere in the middle, domestic conditions and trends play major roles in determining its strategic posture over time. This is just as true for Turkey as it is for the US, for Iran and for Sweden and Egypt. The loss of Turkey shows that countries can and do change. The best way to influence that change is to remain true to one's friends, even if those friends are imperfect. Only by strengthening those who share one's country's norms and interests - rather than its procedures and rhetoric - can governments exert constructive influence on internal changes in other states and societies. Moreover, it is only by being willing to recognize what makes an ally an ally and an adversary an adversary that the West will adopt policies that leave it

more secure in the long run. A militarycontrolled Turkish democracy that barred Islamists from political power was more desirable than a popularly elected AKP regime that has moved Turkey into the Iranian axis. So, too, a corrupt Western-dependent regime in Afghanistan is more desirable than a Taliban-al-Qaida terror state. Likewise an unstable, weakened mullocracy in Iran challenged by a well-funded, liberal opposition is preferable to a strong, stable mullocracy that has successfully repressed its internationally isolated liberal rivals. Turkey is lost and we'd better make our peace with this devastating fact. But if we learn its lessons, we can craft policies that check the dangers that Turkey projects and prepare for the day when Turkey may decide that it wishes to return to the Western fold.

How Turkey Was Lost...Continued from page 21 their voices to the rising chorus of antiAmericanism and anti-Semitism sweeping the country. Then there is the EU. For years Brussels has been stringing Turkey along, promising that if it enacts suff icient human rights reforms, the 80-million strong Muslim country will be permitted to join Europe. But far from inducing more liberal behavior on the part of Turkey, those supposedly enlightened reforms have paved the way for the Islamist ascendance in the country. By forcing Turkey to curb its military's role as the guarantor of Turkish secularism, the EU took away the secularists' last line of defense against the rising tide of the AKP. By forcing Turkey to treat its political prisoners humanely and cancel the death penalty, the EU eroded the secularists' moral claim to leadership and weakened their ability to effectively combat both Kurdish and Islamist terror. At the same time, by consistently

refusing to permit Turkey to join the EU, despite Ankara's moves to placate its political correctness, Brussels discredited still further Turkey's secularists. When after all their self-defeating and self-abasing reforms, Europe still rejected them, the Turks needed to f ind a way to restore their wounded honor. The most natural means of doing so was for the Turks writ large to simply turn their backs on Europe and move toward their Muslim brethren. For its part as the lone Jewish state that belongs to no alliance, Israel had no ability to shape internal developments in Turkey. But still, Turkey's decision to betray the West holds general lessons for Israel and for the free world as a whole. These lessons should be learned and applied moving forward not only to Turkey, but to a whole host of regimes and sub-national groups in the region and throughout the world. In the f irst instance it is crucial for policy-makers to recognize that change

ADL: Give Jewish US Army Engineer Court Hearing...Continued from page 7 CIA employee who was suspended after taking a trip to Israel. Lauter said the "dual loyalty" stereotype is persistent, according to ADL research. Between 1997 and 2007, ADL polls showed between 31 percent and 35% of those surveyed agreed with that statement, "Jews are more loyal to Israel than America." Tenenbaum told The Jerusalem Post: "They targeted me because I'm a Jew." He said he f irst got wind that the army was investigating him in the 1990s.

"They would call the FBI from my off ice saying, 'That Tenenbaum guy speaks Hebrew, you better check him out,'" he recalled. "The purpose of this is to get justice," Tenenbaum's attorney, Mayer Morganroth, said. They are seeking $200 million from the US government to compensate Tenenbaum for the years he could have been advancing his career and to show the signif icance of the injury. Federal authorities at one point "came in with guns drawn on the Sabbath where his

children were," Morganroth said. Another time, Tenenbaum was almost run over by a car driven by investigators keeping him under 24-hour surveillance. "To this day, they are scared," the attorney said. Tenenbaum said when he was cleared and ordered back to work, high-ranking army off icials told him his career was over. "I'd be lucky to get out without getting f ired," he said he was told. "When I f irst went in as a civilian

engineer, I thought it was a great opportunity to help soldiers in the f ield, to make sure that if there's a war or a bad situation that these guys can come home safely," Tenenbaum said. "I'm disillusioned in that politics sometimes seems to have more of an effect." He is a persona non grata at work now. "I believe I could have contributed a lot more," he said.

Atlantic Yards: Court of Appeals Hears Case...Continued from page 14 market-rate housing?" Judge Lippman asked again. "The only subsidies identified in the record are the $100 million appropriation by the state Legislature, which is for a stateowned arena and a state-owned rail yard," Mr. Karmel said. "The state has had the authority to fund state-run facilities of that kind forever." Mr. Karmel said city funding for the project was not subject to Article XVIII, §6. Filing Timeframe The judges also probed both sides on whether the state court action before the Court yesterday was filed in a timely fashion. The plaintiffs challenging Empire State Development's approval of the project went first to federal court and, Mr. Karmel contended, missed a 30-day filing notice in state court as they were pursuing their federal claims. "Can that serve to toll for a couple of years the 30-day requirement in the [Eminent Domain Procedure Law]?" Judge Read asked. "That seems to be the implication."

"I think there is no question that it can and it did here," Mr. Brinckerhoff argued. The judges yesterday heard an appeal of an Appellate Division, Second Department, unanimous ruling rejecting arguments by Atlantic Yards' opponents that the project's environmental impact statement and use of eminent domain are improper (NYLJ, May 18). The prime organizer, the coalition Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, also tried unsuccessfully to challenge the project and the Empire State Development Corp.'s approval of it in another state court action, Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn v. Urban Development Corp., (NYLJ, Feb. 27), and in a federal court case, Goldstein v. Pataki, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately denied certiorari (NYLJ, June 24, 2008). J. Kevin Healy of Bryan Cave and Charles S. Webb III and Kenneth J. Applebaum of Berger & Webb are also representing the Empire State Development Corp. Eric Hecker of South Brooklyn Legal Services is aiding Mr. Brinckerhoff's repre-

sentation of the plaintiffs. In an amicus brief filed in support of the Atlantic Yards project, New York City's Law Department argued that many privately developed projects have been made possible in the city by the condemnation of private property. Kelo has prompted the filing of a series of bills in the New York state Legislature concerning the use of eminent domain. In 2009, they included A1568/S1669, which would give citizens more time to contest proposed property takings, and A1570/1670, to create an eminent domain ombudsman to ensure the even-handed application of the condemnation of private property. Again this year, none of the bills gained traction. The Arlington, Va.-based Institute for Justice, which represented property owners in Kelo, released a report last week in which it named New York as among the most permissive states in the country for the use of eminent domain to aid in the development of private projects. It cited recent projects sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange,

Costco and Stop & Shop as among those in which private businesses benefitted from the public taking of private property. Another Suit Filed On Tuesday, the Straphangers Campaign of the New York Public Interest Research Group, Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and several lawmakers filed another suit related to the Brooklyn Yards project. The Manhattan Supreme Court suit alleges that the sale by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of its Vanderbilt Rail Yard to Forest City Ratner vastly undervalued the true worth of the 8.5-acre property. The rail yard, owned by the MTA's Long Island Railroad Co., accounts for about 40 percent of the Atlantic Yards site. The Court of Appeals is expected to hand down a ruling by the end of November in the case it heard yesterday. Mr. Prokhorov's investment deal is contingent on Forest City Ratner's securing title to the remaining parcels at the site as well as financing for the project by Jan. 1st.

prospective tenant seeking an attractive deal? We all know the old adage that you can’t time the stock market. The same holds true for the real estate markets. If a couple of large blocks of sublease space are rented or otherwise taken off the market, the pricing of competitive space in the submarket will likely react. It may not change rents but could impact concessions, and it all comes down to dollars. Those seeking space are well served by engaging a knowledgeable and experienced advisor or broker, and looking for space that best suits their needs at attractive pricing. Getting the right

space is just as important as getting the right price, if not more so. What value is there in a great deal on space that does not fully meet tenant needs? Once space needs are precisely identif ied, shop for an attractive deal. Also, don’t ignore the issue of the quality of ownership, those with a reputation for flexibility, service and dealing fairly with tenants. It makes a difference. Once you sign a lease, stop focusing on market rents and concentrate on moving into the new space and using the space effectively to run your business. Len Kanarek is managing director at the Schonbraun McCann Group.

Watch the Sublease Pendulum Swing...Continued from page 15 pete on price, or limiting competitive pricing to shorter deals. Currently, one of the key drivers of pricing in the off ice market is the availability of sublease space. The inventory of sublease space is signif icant by both historical and absolute standards. It is not just the amount of sublease space impacting market rents. Much of the sublease space is being offered by large f inancial institutions. Rather than looking to minimize their loss on a sublease as the primary objective, many sublessors are focusing on a quick deal and are very price competitive, with a ripple effect through the market for both direct

and sublease space. This is especially true for f inancial institutions with impaired balance sheets that do not want to carry vacant or underutilized space. The complexity continues. Recently, two large blocks of sublease space being offered by large f inancial institutions were withdrawn from the market, and owners of competitive space have taken note. Brokers tell me that asking and effective rents are changing frequently, in response to ever changing conditions within submarkets. The sublease market is certainly not a static market. What’s the best strategy for a

Maccabi, Big Loss To The NY Knicks, Big Win For Migdal Ohr...Continued from page 16 well to convince Gershon to leave the court. Gershon’s actions created a diversion - def initely negative - in what should have been a strictly positive event. With fans chanting "Macc-ab-i!", Gershon didn't seem to be listening to any of the basketball off icials. Only when the intervention of Rabbi Grossman, founder and dean of Migdal Ohr, failed, did Gershon f inally left the court. Had this been politics, his action might have precipitated an “international event.” If the visible annoyance of Knicks president Donald Walsh was any indication, Gershon’s non sportsman-like response

may have had the same effect for sports. After the game, the Rabbi spoke to reporters, emphasizing the importance of peace and peacefully settling disputes. "I say to him this game is not a regular game," said Rabbi Grossman, …This game is for the children and the children watching, I don't want them to see a f ight. I said 'forgive him.' If you forgive him, I can say to the children, 'You also forgive. If you have a f ight, you forgive. "This is the law; he has to leave," Rabbi Grossman added. "I tried to make peace." Gershon did not speak to reporters. An after game statement issued by

Maccabi disputed the fairness of the referee’s calls, saying that technicals were not assessed to Knicks’ players/coaches who complained (about calls). Maccabi's Yaniv Green said fans are “coming to the game to see him even more than they're coming to see us. He's quite a character, like you saw today." Maccabi Chairman Shimon Mizrahi summarized, saying "It was a good game….Obviously the Knicks are on another level, but it was a good f ight and we kept it close for most of the game. We are used to a shorter game in the Euroleague - we play eight fewer minutes than they play over there.

Learn From the Sidekick Saga: Back Up Your Smart Phone BY DAVE TONER AND MIKE GIKAS Last week’s T-Mobile incident, in which data from the carrier’s Sidekick smart phones stored on a Microsoft server was lost, ended late in the week with the carrier announcing that most or all of the lost data had been recovered. But the incident should serves to show, that as cell and (especially) smart phones become more like minicomputers, and add the likes of sophisticated cameras, the need to back up the data they carry increases. ere are some tips on backing up smart phones. (We’ll cover options for cell phone backup in another post soon.) It’s preferable to have data from your phone stored not only with the carrier itself, but also in duplicate on your computer. Generally, smart phones are easier to back up in this manner than cell phones, thanks to their sophisticated operating systems, which resemble those of computers. One method to backing up at least your contacts—among the most valuable phone data, after all—is to sync

Back up your smart phone and avoid losing data in a disaster. the smart phone to your e-mail account on your computer, typically via Outlook, and then export the contacts from Outlook to the desktop. You may already be syncing by having your off ice e-mail pushed to your smart phone via MS Exchange or, with some phones, via syncing to a Gmail account. With the iPhone, you can sync via iTunes as you add or remove music or other content from your phone. If you’re not synced by these means, you may need a separate

syncing program, perhaps at some cost. iPhone owners who don’t often enough sync contacts and the like physically via iTunes have the option to use MobileMe, a $99-a-year Apple syncing service. For phones that use the Windows Mobile OS, such as HTC TouchPro 2, there’s free software called Active Sync. For owners of T-Mobile Sidekicks, a carrier rep told me that their Intellisync software (which costs a one time fee of $9.99) will allow you to sync with Outlook and MS

Exchange. Other T-Mobile phones are compatible with the carrier’s “mobile backup” service, which stores your info on a server and allows you to access it from the Mytmobile.com website. From there, you can export to an Excel spreadsheet or at least out print out a hard copy of the contacts. Once you’re synced, your can back up contacts to your PC by going to the Contacts section of Outlook on your PC; then under File, select import and export, where you can choose to export the contacts as a CSV, Excel f ile, Access f ile, etc. With a Gmail account: Click on the Contacts link on the left side of the screen.

The Orbit™ Infant System is a Safety Risk BY CONSUMER REPORT Consumer Reports has identified a possible safety risk in a high-end infant “travel system” that combines features of an infant carrier, a stroller, and a car seat. he product, the Orbit™ Infant System, was rated “Don’t Buy: Safety Risk” after the infant carrier detached from its car seat base in two of six simulated 30mph frontal crash tests that Consumer Reports commissioned at an outside laboratory. We conducted the tests using the guidelines for speed and impact crash simulations dictated by the federal standard for child restraints.

“The system consists of an infant carrier that can be snapped into either a car seat base, for use in a vehicle, or a stroller base, for use when on foot.” Although the Orbit system, which retails for $900, is not among the overall leaders in terms of sales, it has carved out a niche in the market thanks in part to its popularity with A-list celebrities, some of whom offer testimonials on its Web site. The system consists of an infant carrier that can be snapped into either a car seat base, for use in a vehicle, or a stroller base, for use when on foot. Thus, it offers convenience for parents

who want to be able to lift their child out of a stroller into a car, or vice versa, with a minimum of hassle. The Orbit was the only travel system in our tests to show any failures. The other two travel systems we tested, the Graco Stylus and Eddie Bauer Adventurer, stayed attached to their bases during the crash simulations. Of the two failures in Consumer Reports’ tests, one occurred when the car seat base was attached using the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system that is featured on newer cars. The other failure occurred when the base was installed with the three-point (lap and shoulder) seat belt that is standard on modern cars. Six Orbit seats bought from retail merchants were tested. The other four passed our tests, and all f indings were reviewed by an outside child-safety expert who has experience in childrestraint crash testing. Consumer Reports shared its test results with Orbit Baby, and the company ran their own tests at the same laboratory and found no failures. In a statement to Consumer Reports, Joseph Hei, chief executive off icer of the Newark, Calif.-based company, says Orbit Baby has never received any report of a child being injured while in an Orbit baby seat. “We do not believe the test results obtained by Consumers Union are indicative of the safety of our Infant Car seats,” Hei wrote in an emailed statement. “Our car seats are used by children, including our own, and safety is our top priority. We strongly believe in the quality of our product.”

Emerging New Couture Designer Karen Sabag, Impresses The Fashion World BY RENEÉ BEYDA From the circle of a swirling silk evening gown, emerges a most promising fashion designer, 26-year-old Karen Sabag. For the past three years, Sabag’s dresses have been gracing the runways and creating quite a stir. Silks, satins, embroideries, sequins, feathers and Solstiss French lace characterize the sophisticated collections that this young and very talented designer has created. abag she calls her mother “her inspiration,” for Lydia Sabag is a fashion designer in her own right. Her own clients visit her daily in their shared atelier on Avenue U in Brooklyn, New York. There, the sunlight streams in as the two women move shimmery fabrics around their clients and then into the backroom where they create their magic. Sabag has two lines of bridal-wear, as well as a line of ready-to –wear eveningwear. One line of bridal-wear is considered more affordable and can be ordered through Kleinfeld Bridal Salon in NYC. Her other line is more exclusive and of these dresses, Sabag makes only two of a kind. “I love to design for brides.” Sabag says. “They are so happy and I feel so honored that they have chosen me to create the dress for the most important time in their lives.” Many of the fabrics that Sabag uses are her own designs as well. Her dark eyes light up as she spreads one of her newest creations across her lap. It is an emerald green evening dress composed of quilted silk with layers of metallic and wool threadwork with sequins in between to create just the right glistening element.. But what exactly was her most glistening dress? It was without question the dress that she designed with 30 yards of Swarovski crystal. “It was like a chandelier!” Sabag exclaims. Sabag’s career started in Sederot, Israel where she grew up. During the day, while her mother, a talented seamstress and designer, was at her job at the bank, 9 year-old Sabag had work of her own. At the sight of the sewing machine free and the fabrics unguarded, Sabag’s creativity was sparked. At this young age, she developed a line of “scrunchies” hair accessories, and then surprised her mother at the bank, where she sold them for a shekel a piece. One afternoon Lydia Sabag sat down at her machine to make a dress for one of her clients, but was not able to work. She looked high and low for the fabric but it was missing. The mystery was solved when her eleven-year-old daughter walked in the door wearing a brand new skirt that she made from her mother’s material. “I realized from that day on, that I had to hide my fabrics from Karen and that she was in love with fashion!” Lydia says. Once a teenager and living in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, Sabag commuted every day to attend the High School of Fashion Industries in NYC. There she was able to do artwork for two hours a day. Later she attended The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and graduated in 2007. She majored in fashion design and specialized in eveningwear. While competitions were announced constantly in school, Sabag never felt the desire to enter her designs into any of them, until she was threatened by one of her

professors, Professor Reuben Cruz. Cruz said that if she did not enter the next competition, he was going to fail her. Cruz, says of Sabag, “When I met Karen I recognized that her talent was above average. I have been at FIT for 17 years, and I come across a lot of students. Some have 50%, others 75%, but Karen has 100% of what it takes to make it. She is a winner. She has it all in one package; she is gifted in the conceptual part of fashion design as well as in construction. Karen Sabag is a major talent and I am proud of her.” When asked about the threat that he made to fail her, he says, “Yes. I noticed that she was not taking part in any of the competitions and I said, ‘I’m not putting up with this! She was not the kind I was going to let

slide by.’ So basically I encouraged her. She followed through and saw that she actually liked it.” Sabag entered the 2007 Kleinfeld-FIT Bridal Contest, and sure enough, out of 800 contestants, Sabag’s dress won first prize. The next competition that she entered, the 2008 Supima Cotton Bridal Competition for emerging designers, was another challenge that Sabag met with success, winning Best in Show. The assignment was to create a wedding gown using only cotton. Out of approximately 1,000 applicants, 25 winners were chosen and Sabag was among them. A fashion show was held for the winners in Gotham Hall in the city. Sabag’s winning dress, a fabulous dress made using Albini White

shirting, has been traveling from exhibition to exhibition in Europe since. On October 18th, 2009, Sabag’s 2010 Bridal Collection was unveiled at the Intercontinental Hotel in New York. There both Martha Stewart and Knot.com, two bridal authorities, picked up her line for their websites. Karen Sabag’s showroom is on 40th and 7th Avenue. More information and videos of her fashion shows can be seen at her website www.karensabagcouture.com Sabag’s goal is to one-day dress the Red Carpet. By the look of things, it won’t be long before Hollywood stars are wearing the smashing evening gowns of Brooklyn’s “fashion star” Karen Sabag.

dead bodies in the morgue, with 22 people wounded including 16 women. The first blast ripped through the faculty of Islamic jurisprudence used by male students and the second hit the women's cafeteria, law student Qudrat Ullah told AFP from the scene. "There is panic. Students are rushing to donate blood. There are a lot of police arrived inside the building," he said. "Casualties were taken away first in private vehicles. Then ambulances arrived. I saw several people wounded." In the wake of the attack, Pakistani officials confirmed that schools and colleges across the country closed for five days, fearing militant strikes. Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, Taliban and AlQaeda-linked extremists have carried out a two-year campaign of suicide bombings and commando raids that have killed 2,280 people. "Whether they claim or don't claim, all roads lead to South Waziristan," the interior minister said, referring to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda stronghold on the Afghan border where the military launched its offensive at the weekend. Pakistan's military urged NATO troops stationed in Afghanistan to share intelligence and seal the border as it mounts a massive offensive against Taliban militants in the lawless northwest. A barrage of attacks since October 5 has left about 180 people dead, underlin-

ing the scale of the insurgency that authorities are trying to halt. An audacious raid on army headquarters left 23 people dead and five UN World Food Programme workers were killed when a suicide bomber dressed in military uniform walked into their office in Islamabad and blew himself up. Authorities believe that many of the bombings in Pakistan, as well as attacks in the West, are being planned in South Waziristan. Officials said at least 98 militants and 13 soldiers had been killed since the fighting erupted Saturday in the semiautonomous tribal region, and more than 120,000 civilians have now fled to areas outside the war zone. Troops backed by artillery, attack helicopters and fighter jets pounded Taliban bastions around Kotkai, the home town of Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud, the military said. US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said he was "encouraged" by the Pakistani offensive, while cautioning that it was too soon to predict the outcome. Numerous previous offensives against militants in the tribal belt have had limited success, costing the lives of 2,000 troops and ending generally with peace agreements that critics say gave the insurgents a chance to re-arm.
