NY Political Leaders Urge US Investigation of IHH Flotilla

Rabbi Arthur Schneier BY MAXINE DOVERE This was a celebration equaled by very few! On the evening of June 7, close to one thousand gathered to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the Park East Synagogue and celebrate the eightieth birthday of its long time spiritual leader Rabbi Arthur Schneier.

ignitaries, leaders of business, diplomats, religious, secular and cultural directors gathered for a celebratory event at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

Rep. King, Religious and Community Leaders Stand with Israel

Representative Pete King Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President expressed strong support for Israel's right to defend itself. Standing with Stringer are (L to R) Charles Rangel, "Dean" of the New York Congressional delegation, Congressman Elliot Engel, Congressman Jerold Nadler, and NYS Assemblyman David Weprin. BY JV STAFF In a matter of only a few days, the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRCNY) gathered more than 23,000 signatories on a petition calling for the investigation of former “passengers” who sailed as part of the IHH flotilla who have announcement their intention of conducting a speaking tour in the United States.

he petition was presented to members of the New York Congressional delegation for delivery to the appropriate offices in Washington, DC. The JCRC-NY, together with Representatives Eliot Engel, Carolyn Maloney, Jerold Nadler, Charles Rangel, Anthony Weiner, NYC Council Speaker

Christine Quinn, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, and Assemblyman David Weprin called on the U.S. State Department to “investigate any and all passengers” (of the IHH flotilla) seeking entry into the United States. A 2006 report issued by the Danish Institute for International Studies states that IHH has “been known to maintain links with al-Qaida and a number of "global jihad networks." Thirteen years ago, in 1997, a Turkish government investigation led to a raid on the organization’s Istanbul off ices from which weapons, explosives, and bomb-making instructions were conf iscated.

unday, Congressman Pete King (RSeaford) was joined by Democratic Assemblymen David Weprin and Rory Lancman, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Jewish community leader Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, to declare support for Israel and opposition to a U.N. investigation into last month’s Israeli interception of a Gazabound ship. The leaders called for passage of King’s bill, the America Stands with Israel Act (H.R. 5501). “As one of our closest allies, we should be standing with Israel, not endorsing a U.N.-sponsored attack against it,” said King. “By participating in this investigation, the Administration is driving a wedge between the U.S. and a long-standing friend. American tax dollars should not be used for this purpose, which is why I introduced the America Stands with Israel Act, calling for the removal of the U.S. from the U.N.

Arab Students Punished for Rioting Against Ambassador Oren Muslim students who disrupted an address by Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren at the University of California will have to pay the price. The university's management at Irvine has decided to suspend the Muslim organization's campus activity for a year.

uring the February 8 event, which was sponsored by pro-Israel students, an organized group of about 100 students of the Muslim Student Union (MSU) aggressively

disrupted the Israeli envoy's speech and was eventually removed from the auditorium. Eleven students were detained by the police in order to allow Oren to complete his address. The UCI management on Tuesday published the decision made by the students' discipline committee, which found guilty of violating the university's policy. A probe carried out by the committee revealed that the speech disruption was preplanned, coordinated and promoted by the MSU. The Muslim group's activity has been sus-

pended for a year, as of the coming school year which begins on September 1. The organization members are also required to engage in 50 hours of community service. Irvine has the highest number of Arab residents in the US after Dearborn, Michigan. The university is considered hostile towards Israel, prompting Ambassador Oren to address its students and present Israel's stand.

High Court to West Bank Parents: Desegregate School or Face Jail Time In a dramatic ruling on Tuesday, the High Court of Justice demanded that Ashkenazi parents who have refused to let their daughters attend a school in Immanuel with Sephardim must return their daughters to school by Wednesday or face a two-week jail term.

he parents, meanwhile, said that they will not abide by the court ruling and will march to jail in a demonstration of their devotion to this cause. The parents face on Thursday and would remain incarcerated for two weeks or until the court received notice that the girls had returned to school. Dozens of Haredi protesters gathered at the courthouse and called out "God is our lord.'' The protesters issued a statement that the parents refuse to comply with the court's ruling and that

they will not betray their religious position. The court's decision continues the ongoing saga in Immanuel, a settlement in the West Bank, where parents are attempting to segregate Ashkenazi and Sephardi girls. "No court verdict requires the approval of any rabbi," said Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy on Tuesday during a court hearing on the segregation at the ultra-Orthodox Beit Yaakov girls' school in Immanuel. The hearing revolved around the continued violation of a High Court of Justice ruling forbidding the segregation of Sephardi and Ashkenazi students. A compromise was supposedly achieved between the religious school board and the parents, but the Ashkenazi girls' parents rejected the compromise and refuse to allow their daughters to return to school. The parents' attorney argued at the hearing that "the parents have the freedom to choose not to send their children to school," and that this is

a basic right. He added that the court's ruling prohibits segregation, but does not require the parents to send their children to school. "Where is the freedom of education, of conscience, of choice?" he asked. Justice Levy said during the hearing that until the situation is resolved, the parents must return their daughters to school, saying "I was horrified. It was like there were never any proceedings." "The State of Israel has institutions, including its justice system. Without the justice system your state and ours would be unbearable," he told the parents, adding that "I don't know any law that requires anyone's approval for a court ruling." According to the parents' attorney, whenever there is a faith-oriented religious dispute, the rabbis' decisions overrule the courts "which is more powerful than the decision of any other authority."

‘Jordan Seeks To Be Nuclear Power’ Jordan is set on becoming the Middle East's newest nuclear power, Jordanian King Abdullah told the Wall Street Journal in an interview over the weekend.

INDEX

n the interview, King Abdullah accused Israel of pressuring countries like South Korea and France not to provide nuclear technology to Jordan. He said Israel's "underhanded" actions had helped bring JordanianIsraeli relations to their lowest point since the 1994 peace agreement. There are countries, Israel in particular, that

are more worried about us being economically independent than the issue of nuclear energy, and have been voicing their concerns," King Abdullah stated. "There are many such reactors in the world and a lot more coming, so [the Israelis should] go mind their own business." Large deposits of uranium were found in Jordan and the government is eager to develop these energy resources to decrease its dependence on oil imports. The US, on the other hand, would like Amman to commit to importing its nuclear fuel to prevent the possibility of any uranium being

diverted for military purposes. Under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) that Jordan has signed, Amman retains the right to produce its own uranium fuel. In a seeming reference to Iran's contentious nuclear program, King Abdullah advocated an open approach to Jordanian nuclear development to assuage international security concerns. I believe nuclear energy in Jordan will be done in such a way where it is a public-private partnership so everyone can see exactly what's going on," Abdullah said in the interview. "If we can be the model of transparency, it will push others."

Flotilla Committee Assembled, Foreign Observers Added Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has presented for his cabinet's approval his proposed composition of an independent Public Commission to investigate “the actions taken by the State of Israel to prevent the arrival of ships to Gaza on May 31, 2010.”

Police Officer Killed As Terror Attacks Rise Doctors at Soroka Hospital have reported that one of the police officers who was seriously wounded in a terrorist ambush early on Monday morning has died of his wounds. Another of the police officers is seriously wounded and a third suffered light wounds.

BY MAAYANA MISKIN

he commission will be chaired by retired Supreme Court Justice Yaakov Turkel, and will include international law expert Professor Shabtai Rosen and Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Amos Horev, a former president of the Technion. Two foreign observers have been selected as well, “in light of the unique international aspects of the event,” government spokespeople said. The two are, Irish politician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate William David Trimble and former Judge Advocate General of the Canadian army Brigadier-General Kenneth Watkin. The commission's job will be to determine the identities and actions of those who organized and participated in the Gazabound flotilla that included the Marmara, to determine whether Israel's naval blockade on Hamas-run Gaza conforms with international law, and to examine Israel's actions to stop ships from reaching Gaza and in particular the IDF raid of the Mavi Marmara. The commission will be granted the power to request any relevant information from the government, and to request any individual or entity to testify, with the exception of IDF soldiers. Testimony on IDF operations will be given by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi. "This committee will show the world that Israel is acting responsibly, according to the law, and with full tranparency,” Netanyahu said Monday. Reactions to the establishment of the

However, MK Nachman Shai, also of Kadima, said, “This may somewhat lessen international criticism of Israel, but the Israeli public deserves to really and truly know the truth, and only the truth, regarding the difficult questions that arise from the way this crisis was handled.” IDF Chief of Staff Ashkenazi has appointed former National Security Council head Giora Eiland to head an internal military probe of the incident, in which naval commandos were attacked by members of the Turkish terrorist group IHH as they boarded a Gaza-bound flotilla and opened fire in response, killing nine. The commission will try to determine whether the operation to board the boat was tactically correct, or if a different method – or different unit – should have been used. It will also look into Israeli intelligence gathering prior to the event.

he slain officer has been identified as Yehoshua "Shuki" Sofer of Be'er Sheva. Sofer, 39, had served in the Hevron region for 14 years. The victims were taken to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva and Hadassah Ein Karem in Jerusalem. The attack was directed against a police vehicle on Monday morning along Route 60, south of Hevron. Residents of the area noted that the IDF had removed a major checkpoint in the area just three weeks earlier. The checkpoint, the Dahariya crossing, was located roughly three kilometers from the site of attack. On Sunday night, a resident of the Samaria town of Alei Zahav was ambushed and brutally attacked by PA Arabs while driving near the town of Nachal Shilo. The victim, who is physically handicapped, noticed a car with police lights signaling him to stop. When he pulled over, PA Arab men dragged him from his car, beat him, and stole his vehicle, leaving him at the side of the road. The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition. Members of the Samaria Regional Council noted that in order to reach the site of the attack, the attackers had passed by what used to be an IDF checkpoint. The checkpoint was recently removed as a ges-

Both officers suffered light wounds. The driver was shot and killed by other officers as he attempted to escape. Police spokesmen said officers had attempted to stop him by firing in the air, but began aiming directly at him when he ignored their warnings. The terrorists family managed to steal his body from the hospital, and apparently planned to bury it near the Al-Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount. Also on Friday, a woman and her three children were ambushed by a rock-throwing mob in the same area; she slammed on the gas and escaped, after being hit in the head by one of the rocks. She received stitches in Hadassah Hospital.

There Was No Humanitarian Aid On Mavi Marmara BY GIL RONEN The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed Israel's representatives the world over that there were never any humanitarian supplies or equipment aboard the Mavi Marmara, where Israeli commandos were ambushed by armed mercenaries posing as peace activists. The commandos opened fire and killed nine of the attackers after three soldiers had been brutalized and temporarily captured.

f the seven flotilla ships that were intercepted by Israel on May 31 and afterward, only four were freight ships, the MFA reported to its embassies and consulates: The Challenger 1 (a small yacht), the Sfendonh (a small passenger boat) and the Mavi Marmara (a passenger ship) did not carry any humanitarian aid, except for the passengers' personal belongings. The four freight ships are the Gaza, the Sofia, the Defeny and the Rachel Corrie. As of June 7, Israel had only offloaded equipment from the Defeny. The equipment offloaded was loaded onto 26 trucks, and an additional eight trucks are waiting at the Kerem Shalom crossing to enter Gaza. The equipment included: 1. 300 wheelchairs 2. 300 new mobility scooters 3. 100 special mobility scooters for the disabled 4. Hundreds of crutches 5. 250 hospital beds 6. 50 sofas 7. Four tons of medicine 8. 20 tons of clothing, carpets, school bags, cloth and shoes 9. Various hospital equipment - closets and cabinets, operating theater equipment, etc. 10. Playground equipment 11. Mattresses

Alot of people but no aid waiting to board the Mavi Marmara. The equipment remaining at Ashdod Port on the three ships which have not been offloaded include some 2000 tons of construction equipment - building materials and tools, and construction waste (rubble, toilets, sinks and cement) for re-use. The MFA noted that: The equipment does not constitute humanitarian aid in the accepted sense (basic foodstuffs, new and functional equipment, fresh medicines). The humanitarian aid on all the ships was scattered in the ships' holds and thrown onto piles and not packed properly for transport. The equipment was not packaged and not properly placed on wooden bases. Because of the improper packing, some of the equipment was crushed by the weight in transit. The medicines and sensitive equipment (operating theater equipment, new clothing, etc.) are being kept in cool storage at the Defense Ministry base. Some of the medicines have already expired, and some will expire soon. The operating theater equipment, which should be kept sterile, was carelessly wrapped. A large part of the equipment, particularly shoes and clothing, was used and worn.

The Gaza Siege Myth BY TZVI BEN GEDALYAHU The “myth of the siege of Gaza” has been exploded in a research report that quotes Arab sources that say “Gaza markets are saturated with goods.” The Washington Post reported last week that Gaza “pharmacies look as well-supplied as a typical Rite Aid.”

eserve IDF officer Lt. Col. Jonathan HaLevi, a researcher for the Institute for Contemporary Affairs, wrote that Israel’s continuing supervised flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza also has helped the Gaza economy rebound “Gaza is not cut off from the outside world,” he wrote, and added that the large supply of goods and merchandise, including fuel oil, that enters Gaza through smuggling tunnels and pipelines from Egypt has actually helped bring down the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel to half the price in Israel. Claims by United Nations officials, reported without investigation by most mainstream media, have falsely promoted the image of a humanitarian crisis and a scarcity of foods and merchandise in Gaza, implying that Gaza Arabs share the plague of famine as in India and other countries. HaLevi’s reported stated, “Recently, Rep. Ron Paul told Don Imus on the Fox Business Channel that Israel was "preventing food and medicine from going into Gaza. He said there are 'people that are starving' and closed with a vile suggestion that the situation of the Gazans was 'almost like in concentration camps.'" However, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted to a Congressional committee last April, “The [Gaza] crossings are no longer completely closed…. A lot of what has been said was not permitted to cross is just not accurate.” Janine Zacharia of the Washington Post reported last week, "If you walk down Gaza City's main thoroughfare -Salah al-Din Street - grocery stores are stocked wall-toowall with everything from fresh Israeli yogurts and hummus to Cocoa Puffs smuggled in from Egypt.” Smuggled goods are cheaper than the regular price. The Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency stated last February, "Gaza markets are saturated with goods." Beaches are filled with vacationers as well . The de facto Hamas government in Gaza also has received $5 billion in cold cash since it took over control of the area from the rival Fatah faction in a bloody militia war three years ago this month. Hamas also receives millions of dollars in direct aid from Arab countries as well from the United Nations and European Union, which until last November paid for the diesel fuel to run the Gaza power plant. The French newspaper LeMonde last October quoted Bassem Khoury, minister of national economy for the Palestinian Authority, that Hamas has profited so much

Candy stores in Gaza are full prooving that there is no need for humanitsarian aid. from the smuggling tunnel system and outside aid that it “doesn't know what to do with its money. Taxpayers in Europe should know that as a result of this system their money ends up in Hamas' pocket." HaLevi pointed out that the tunnel system not only supplies Hamas with more weapons it but also “serves such criminal purposes as drug running and trafficking in young women.” The Kuwaiti newspaper Awan last December reported on the phenomenon of "importing" minor girls from Egypt and selling them into prostitution in Gaza, supposedly for purposes of marriage or domestic work. He said Hamas exploits the smuggling tunnels for “sending fighters for training in Iran and Syria, and for the import of advanced weapons systems, [including] antiaircraft and anti-tank missiles, explosives, and ammunition." HaLevi maintained, “The position of the human rights organizations, which paint an exaggerated picture of the effects of the siege, is marred by a double standard.” On the one hand, they argue vehemently that Israel is still an occupying power and must therefore see to the "security and welfare of the residents of Gaza"; yet on the other hand, the welfare and security of Gaza's residents have been severely harmed by the Hamas regime, with its gradual imposition of Islamic law while violently suppressing the opposition. “According to their logic, Israel is obligated to help an enemy entity that is attacking it. If this were true, the United States would have a duty to extend assistance to villages in Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban fighters who are attacking coalition forces.” The flow of weapons into Gaza occasionally is stopped by Egyptian authorities who last May seized a large cache of weapons and explosives that were slated to be smuggled into Gaza from the Sinai. The weapons stockpile included 61 anti-aircraft missiles, 40 anti-tank mines, 15 standard mines, and 5 machine guns with ammunition. Last April 1, an Egyptian newspaper reported that security forces had seized 100 anti-aircraft missiles, 45 rocket-propelled grenades

Tefillin-Fest For “Getting Stronger” Jews in Bnei Brak

White House Rejected Israeli Intel, Blocked Use of AntiRiot Gear Against Flotilla President Barack Obama stopped Israel from using anti-riot gear to prevent a Turkish-sponsored flotilla from breaking the siege on the Gaza Strip.

BY HILLEL FENDEL For the second time in three months: Several dozen secular Jews from around the country gathered in Bnei Brak to receive a blessing from an elderly sage and to put on their own tefillin for the first time.

t happened this past Tuesday. “Many of the sets of tefillin [known in English as phylacteries, costing roughly $400 each] were donated by a generous Jew in the United States,” said Rabbi Shlomo Raanan of Rehovot, “and I was privileged to distribute over 40 of them on this occasion.” Tefillin are two specially-made leather boxes containing four Torah passages in each one and placed on the head and arm for morning prayers. Rabbi Raanan heads the Ayelet HaShachar outreach organization, which is predicated on original, hands-on, long-term ideas. Most of those who took part in the tefillin-fest on Tuesday are “products” of Ayelet HaShachar’s “phone chavruta” program. “Chavruta” means study-partner, and close to 15,000 people take part in weekly phone calls under the programs auspices to discuss Torah topics. “How many chavrutah-pairs are signed up on the program?” I asked Rabbi Raanan, expecting a vague, rough estimate of an answer. “7,320,” he immediately and precisely popped out, “meaning that close to 15,000 people are studying Torah on the phone every week; each not-so-informed Jew is assigned one of our thousands of volunteers, and if they hit it off, they continue, week in and week out.”

Rabbi Michael Yehuda Lefkovitz greeting a member of the group receiving a pair of Tefillin. Others of those who received their tefillin have been introduced to Judaism through the work of the religious families dispatched by Rabbi Raanan to live in secular kibbutzim. “Many of them have shown great interest, over time, in putting on tefillin and becoming more observant. The 40-plus of this week first went through a few weeks of putting on tefillin each day [except for the Sabbath and holidays, when it is not permitted], and those who decided they were ready to take on the commitment for the long term took part in Tuesday’s ceremony. Some of them paid for their set themselves." They first arrived at the home of the elderly Rabbi Michael Yehuda Lefkovitz of Bnei Brak, the Dean of the Ponovezh Yeshiva Ketanah and one of the most

iplomatic sources said the White House rejected Israeli intelligence assessments that the six-ship flotilla contained weapons and Islamist fighters trained to resist any boarding operation. The sources, privy to Israeli-U.S. government communications, said Obama and his leading aides pressed Israel against any act that would be deemed excessive force. "The White House demanded that Israel exercise extreme caution and restraint in any scenario," a diplomatic source said. The Obama administration demands were relayed through Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, the sources said. They said Barak, who has sought advanced weapons from Washington, persuaded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree that the Israel Navy would not use anti-riot equipment, including tear gas, to stop the flotilla. The sources said the Israeli intelligence community had informed the White House that the flotilla contained scores of Turks trained in weapons and hand-to-hand combat. They said the Turkish-flagged ship Marmara was believed to have contained weapons and components ordered by the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip. In the end, Netanyahu approved a plan for the Israel Navy to board Marmara with commandos armed with paintball guns. The commandos were quickly overpowered by Turkish fighters until the Israeli commander ordered live fire, which killed nine passengers, eight of them Turks. Obama, whose aides were said to have been in contact with the flotilla, did not condemn the Israeli naval interception. But within hours of the bloody clash, the president withdrew his invitation to Netanyahu to come to the White House. "The last thing the president wanted was to stand next to Netanyahu as he defended this action and blasted Hamas and its supporters in the West," another source said. The sources said Barak and Netanyahu decided on the details of the interception without consulting a seven-member security Cabinet committee. Later, Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Ya'alon, a former chief of

staff, asserted that the naval operation had endangered the commandos. "The prime minister decided to settle everything with the defense minister," Ya'alon was quoted as saying. "Netanyahu shouldn't have left such fateful decisions to an irresponsible defense minister drunk with power." In wake of the clash, Obama has sought to ease tensions with Turkey. On June 2, Obama telephoned Prime Minister Recep Erdogan amid rising Islamist threats against Turkey's Christian and Jewish communities. The following day, a Roman Catholic bishop was killed by an alleged Islamist. "Obama told Erdogan 'Don't rock the boat too much. We'll take care of business,'" another diplomatic source said. "It was a very friendly message." On June 4, the administration, which reinvited Netanyahu, demanded the easing of Israel's siege of the Gaza Strip. The White House said the United States was working with Israel and the Palestinian Authority to "develop new procedures for delivering more goods and assistance to Gaza, while also increasing opportunity for the people of Gaza and preventing the importation of weapons." "The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed," White House spokesman Mike Hammer said. "For now, we call on all parties to join us in encouraging responsible decisions by all sides to avoid any unnecessary confrontations and to ensure the safety of all involved."

Biblical Bees Imported from Turkey? BY HANA LEVI JULIAN Ancient Biblical beehives have been discovered in the northern Israeli site of Tel Rehov, in the Jordan Valley.

rchaeologists found the 3,000-yearold remains of honeybees – including workers, drones, pupae and larvae – inside some 30 clay cylinders, according to a report published in the June 8 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A high-resolution microscope was used to study the bodies of the small insects. The scientists said they found that their legs and wings appeared to indicate they more closely resemble the bees found in modern-day Turkey than those of present-day Israel. The bee body remains appear to belong to a different subspecies altogether than

those that exist today in the Jewish State, the research team said, adding that the find suggests that ancient bee keepers might have imported the species for its special characteristics, such as better honey production or a milder temper. The research team, led by Guy Bloch of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, used carbon dating on grains that spilled from a broken storage jar to determine the age of the items. Three rows of hives were discovered in a courtyard that was part of a large 10th to 9th century (BCE) architectural complex. The clay pots each had a small hole on one side for the bees to use to access the hives, and on the other was a lid with which the bee keeper accessed the honey and honeycomb wax. “The exceptional preservation of these remains provides unequivocal identification of the clay cylinders as the most ancient beehives yet found,” the team wrote.

Swedish Millionaire Behind Bikers Shout ‘Heil Hitler’ During Shoah Memorial Auschwitz Sign Theft A Swedish millionaire with connections to the neo- Nazi movement has been implicated in last year’s theft of the historic “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign from the Nazi death camp Auschwitz, a Polish newspaper reported Thursday.

he daily Rzeczpospolita said that Anders Hogstrom, the alleged mastermind behind the theft, pointed to millionaire Lars Goran Wahlstrom as the person who ordered the theft. Hogstrom, also a Swede, is currently in Polish custody as a suspect in the theft of the sign, which means “Work sets you free.” It hung over the infamous concentration camp, where 1.1 million people - mostly Jews were killed by Nazis in World War II.

The newspaper reported that Wahlstrom is Hogstrom’s legal guardian and a wellknown figure in the neo-Nazi movement. Prosecutors in Krakow did not confirm the report. Hogstrom, a former neo-Nazi leader, was arrested in February after Polish authorities issued an international arrest warrant for him. Three Polish men received jail sentences in connection with the theft, while another two remain in custody on suspicion of carrying it out. The sign was stolen on December 18 and recovered by police two days later. The thieves defaced the sign and allegedly cut it into three pieces in preparation for shipment.

Erdogan, Putin: Israel Won’t Get Our Gas

RUSSIA, TURKEY DENIES ISRAEL FUEL DUE TO “ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS” Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that they don’t plan to export natural gas to Israel via a new pipeline to Turkey.

“T

here is no such thing on our agenda,” Erdogan said at a news conference with Putin in Istanbul when asked about the gas. Russia has held talks on shipping fuel to Israel from a pipeline under the Black Sea. OAO Gazprom, Russia’s natural-gas export monopoly, is negotiating supplying the fuel, Gazprom chairman Viktor Zubkov said on

March 22. Israel may not need the extra gas, which could be transported to Syria or Lebanon instead via the planned Blue Stream-2 pipe, Putin said. “The Blue Stream gas may not go to Israel because of economic considerations,” Putin said. “I don’t think Israel needs the gas because they found a reserve recently.” Turkey has said it’s considering paring economic and military ties with Israel and has recalled its ambassador to the country after nine Turks were killed on an aid flotilla headed for Gaza and intercepted by Israeli commandos last week.

Passing motorcyclists make obscene comments as Holland's chief rabbi delivers speech during Holocaust remembrance ceremony at former children's concentration camp in Vucht; local police launch investigation.

assing motorcyclists shouted "Heil Hitler’" during a Holocaust remembrance ceremony in Holland earlier this week. The ceremony, held at the former children’s concentration camp in Vucht, was an annual event held to remember the last transport of children to Poland where they were sent to death camps. The ceremony remembers the 3,000 Dutch children who were taken from their parents and sent to be murdered by the Nazis in the death camps. There were several convoys from Vucht to the death camps located in Germany and Poland. For example, in June 1943, hundreds of Jewish children were sent to the Sobibor Extermination Camp. There were also transportation of Jews to death camps in November 1943 and June 1944. In July, as the Allied forces approached the camp, the number of executions increased dramatically. Holland's Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs was giving a speech in memory of those who died when the bikers shouted their obscene comments. After pausing for a few moments, Rabbi Jacobs, a senior member of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE), an organization dedicated to the spiritual and religious needs of European Jewry, carried on with his speech, recited Kaddish (a memorial prayer) and then held a two minute silence. Rabbi Jacobs expressed outrage at the comments, but said that they were a pertinent lesson for the participants at the memorial. “I was shocked to hear the words ‘Heil Hitler’ in the middle of my speech, especial-

Nevertheless, we should carry on with our lives and not let the anti-Semites win.” The event was attended by many prominent Dutch officials including Gerdi Verbeet, President of the Dutch House of Representatives, Rabbi Menachem Sebbag, Chief Chaplain of the Dutch army, the secretary general of the Inter Provencial Chief Rabbinate (IPOR) and many other dignitaries. The local police were alerted and are looking into the issue. This is just the latest anti-Semitic incident in Holland. Only last week the doors of the 280 year old Synagogue in Amersfoort, the town where Rabbi Jacobs resides, were smeared with red paint. As a result of the event, the Mayor of Amersfoort, Albertina Van Vliet, expressed her shock and concern. However, no arrests have been made. According to research released earlier in the year, anti-Semitism has dramatically risen in recent years.

National Geographic Accused of Anti-Israel Bias BY MAAYANA MISKIN

Orthodox Teacher Marks 75 Years In Classroom When Franklin D. Roosevelt was president and a loaf of bread cost about 8 cents, Paul Miller began teaching.

A National Geographic exhibit on water that ended June 13 has caused anger due to its obvious anti-Israel bias. The photography exhibit entitled "Water: Our Thirsty World" was criticized by Israeli Consul Yaakov Dayan and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Washington.

hotographs by Paolo Pellegrin show Arabs dealing with scarce water supplies, while Israelis are pictured enjoying themselves on the banks of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) and at a water park. None of the swimming pools or fresh-water beaches located in the Palestinian Authority-controlled regions of Judea and Samaria or in Gaza are pictured. The caption of one photo reads: “A source of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, water is emblematic of their unequal relationship. During dry summers, West Bank Palestinians—restricted to shallow wells by Israel’s occupation—have to buy groundwater tapped from beneath them.” In actual truth, Israeli water experts say that the PA Arabs are destroying the aquifer that is the source of water for both areas. A second caption claims that Israelis “bask in [water's] relative abundance,” and cites a World Bank report saying Israelis use four times as much water per capita as PA Arabs. An Israeli denial of the report is also mentioned. Yet another caption states, “Since 1967, Israel has blocked Syria's access to the shoreline” of the Kinneret. As Syria no longer shares a border with the Kinneret, and bombarded Israeli communities from the heights above it until it attacked Israel and lost the Six Day War, the charge of "blocked access" is not clear. "In a blatant misrepresentation of the truth, the photos and captions suggest that the Israelis frivolously consume water while denying it to, even stealing it from, their neighbors,” said JCRC director Ron Halber. "Where are the pictures with captions highlighting Israel's extraordinary efforts to conserve and recycle water, its global leadership in cutting-edge desalination or watersaving drip-irrigation technology, or its collaborative efforts with neighbors including Jordan and the Palestinian Authority to cooperate in water sharing ventures, even in times of political conflict?" Halber asked. Dayan voiced similar thoughts, saying

JUNE 18, 2010

the exhibit “manufactures an outrageous fiction wherein Israel is depicted as stealing and hoarding water while her neighbors suffer from drought.” “This is not only false, but the exact opposite is true,” he added. National Geographic staff said in response that the photographs were taken from an article that did refer to cooperation between Israel and neighboring Arab countries regarding water. National Geographic has been accused of anti-Israel bias on several occasions. Articles published in the 1990s led to accusations that the magazine supported revisionist history, depicting PA Arabs as descendants of the biblical Canaanite nation while ignoring Jewish history in Israel in recent centuries. One article written during the Oslo Accords referred to Fatah head Yasser Arafat as a “peacemaker,” while Israel's government of the time was referred to as “hard-line.” A 2002 report that purported to give a history of the Israeli-Arab conflict did not mention Arab leaders' refusal to negotiate or the Yom Kippur War, and wrongly claimed that Jews had been treated well under Ottoman rule. A more recent article, printed in the June 2009 issue, implicated Israel in the decreasing PA Christian population. The article did not note that Israel's Christian population enjoys a high growth rate, and ignored Muslim oppression of Christians under the PA which is the main reason for the population decline.

Miller currently teaches calculus at Baltimore’s Ner Israel High School and has been instructing students in private and public schools, from elementary to college, for 75 consecutive years, WBAL-TV’s Deborah Weiner reported. That covers a span of an estimated 27,000 school days. “I think if I stop, I’d rust apart,” Miller said. He has taught for 51 years at Ner Israel and has taught thousands of Maryland students with his trademark stress-free, mellow style. “He just keeps going and going, learning more new tricks and new things to teach his kids,” said the school’s principal, Jacob Schuchman. Students at the school have fathers and grandfathers who were taught by Miller. “Mr. Miller has remained steady through the years,” said student Gavi Guttman, 16. “Not one generation, not two generations, but three.” Miller is the son of Lithuanian immigrants, Weiner reported. His mother was illiterate, and his father was an indentured servant and self-taught math expert. ________________________________

Family members said Miller has never been off icially recognized for his decades of work. “It’s not going to affect our lives one way or another, but it would be really nice for his grandchildren to appreciate a grandfather who had this remarkable achievement,” said his daughter, Lisa Miller. Weiner reported that Paul Miller’s children have made a case with Guinness World Records that he has the longest career as an accredited teacher. Guinness currently recognizes a Brazilian woman who started teaching at age 12 and taught 96 years, Weiner reported. Miller said he’s OK with that. “I’m already in a book of records,” he said. “I’m in the telephone book. Who needs it?” His son, Jeffrey Miller, said, “He feels like he is the wealthiest man in the world. He’s always taught us, ‘A wealthy man is happy with his lot in life.’” Paul Miller said he believes deeply that a man who loves his job will never work a day in his life. He has taught at Southern High School, the former City High School, Hopkins, Loyola, Essex, Catonsville Community College and others, Weiner reported. “I’d like to go on for a long time,” he said. “Who knows?”

udge Colleen McMahon said a memo by an FBI agent who told security personnel not to worry if they saw James Cromitie conducting surveillance at upstate Stewart Air National Guard base should have been revealed to the defense months ago. “There is absolutely no excuse for this not to have been raised in the fall or winter,” she said during a hearing in White Plains federal court. Prosecutor David Rafkin asked to postpone jury selection that had been set to begin

on Monday for the trial of Cromitie and three co-defendants pending a possible appeal of the judge’s order. Rafkin — who insisted the memo by agent Robert Fuller wasn’t covered by disclosure governing evidence favorable to the defense — said a review of the voluminous record in the case could take months. “This case has a lot of tentacles, even though it doesn’t involve overseas terror operations per se,” he said. The defendants, from upstate Newburgh, are charged with plotting to bomb Riverdale synagogues and shoot down military aircraft at Stewart. The defense contends the men were entrapped by a government informer that lured them into a sting operation.

Andrew Cuomo Subpoenas 16 Charities Involved in Car Donation Industry

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced an industry-wide investigation into car donation charities. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced an industry-wide investigation into car donation charities after a review found fraudulent practices that deceived donors and diverted funds from those in need. As a result of the investigation, the Attorney General’s office filed a lawsuit seeking to shut down one charity for misusing money meant for the homeless, and subpoenaed 16 charities, fundraisers, and individuals.

he lawsuit charges that Nicholas Cascone, Jr., the director of “Feed the Hungry, Inc.” (“FTH”), solicited vehicle donations that were supposed to fund humanitarian causes and then kept the proceeds to enrich himself. Of the more than $430,000 that FTH received in donations between 2002 and 2009, the investigation found that less than $7,900 - 1.8% - was used for charitable purposes. “Nicholas Cascone and his Feed the Hungry organization promised to use donated vehicles to help the homeless but only ended up taking generous New Yorkers for a ride,” said Attorney General Cuomo. “We remain concerned that similar practices may prevail in other organizations and will diligently work to root out any other sham charities. As we continue working to clean up this industry, we encourage generous New Yorkers to stay informed and to keep donating to worthy charities.” Charities involved in the car donation industry solicit contributions in the form of used vehicles, which they then sell to raise

funds for humanitarian causes. The Attorney General’s review has shown that some charities mislead donors about how much money is used for charitable purposes as well as where the money goes. In some cases, the car donation charity is a complete sham, with little or no money going to the causes the charity purports to support. As part of his wide-ranging investigation, the Attorney General has sent subpoenas to sixteen charities, fundraisers, and individuals involved in the charitable car donation industry. The subpoenas seek materials relating to the revenues that charities and forprofit fundraisers have collected through car donation programs, and how those revenues were used by the charities. The subpoenas also seek evidence to support the representations made in solicitations to potential vehicle donors. The charities, fundraisers, and individuals that have received subpoenas are: Bless the Kids, Inc.; Breast Cancer Society; Cars that Help, Inc.; Louis Cardillo; Children in Crises; Children’s Cancer Fund of America; Children’s Literacy Fund; Feed the Hungry, Inc.; Arthur Glass; Heritage for the Blind; Hope for the Disabled Kids, Inc.; J.O.Y. for our Youth, Inc. d/b/a Kars 4 Kids; Lechaim for Life; Neo Presearch Energy Foundation, Inc.; Tree of Life; and We Buy Cars, Inc. This matter is being handled by Assistant Attorney General Nathan Reilly, with the assistance of Analyst Kayla Arslanian, under the supervision of Special Deputy Chief of Staff Mitra Hormozi, and Chief of the Charities Bureau Jason Lilien.

16th Annual Memorial of Lubavitcher Rebbe to be Marked

Synagogue Bomb Plot Trial Put On Hold Prosecutors today basked to delay the trial of four alleged homegrown terrorists after a federal judge said they failed to turn over key information about the lead defendant and ordered a review of all evidence in the case.

NEW YORK

BY HILLEL FENDEL As the 16th yahrtzeit [anniversary of death] of the Lubavitcher Rebbe began Monday evening - Jewish dates begin at nightfall) - the central memorial ceremony will be held in Kfar Chabad, in central Israel.

he Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, passed away on the 3rd day of Tammuz, 5754 (June 12, 1994), in New York City, more than two years after suffering a stroke that robbed him of the ability to speak or move his right side. He is considered to have been among the most influential and powerful Jewish personalities and leaders of modern times. Thousands of students around the world are completing Mishnaic tractates, rabbinical literature and examinations of Jewish law studies in honor of the day. Tens of thousands of people are expected to file through the stone structure over the Rebbe’s gravesite Monday evening, to beseech G-d for blessings, seek spiritual inspiration and reflect on what the Rebbe’s life meant to them. Based on the experience of recent years, hundreds of thousands of faxes, letters and e-mails containing prayer requests will arrive at Chabad Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, known simply as 770, to be read or placed at the resting place. In Kfar Chabad, buses from all over the country will arrive for the memorial event. Taking part will be hundreds of heads of Chabad institutions all over the country, as well as the directors of Israel’s 262 Chabad Houses. “The gathering is aimed at bringing about a great arousal among the Chabad Hassidim in strengthening their ties to the Rebbe and expanding the ways in which we spread his message of Redemption,” said Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Aharonov, head of

Chabad organizations in Israel. After the public study of the first passage of Rabbi Schneerson’s last prepared Torah article, speakers will include leading Chabad rabbis, as well as historian Dr. Aryeh Morgenstern, top Hadassah Hospital orthopedist Dr. Aharon Danziger, and economist Yisrael Ganot, who will tell stories of nearmiracles they witnessed the Rebbe perform. In Jerusalem, special Torah and Hassidut classes will be held throughout the day and night at the Nishmata D’Oraita center. In Southern California, 1,000 people are expected at a dinner sponsored by centers affiliated with Chabad of the Valley, and in Wisconsin, Rabbi Yossi Jacobson will speak to an estimated 250 people on the Rebbe’s clarion call to reach every single Jew in every corner of the world. Chabad-Lubavitch centers in the greater Detroit, Michigan area will welcome close to 1,500 guests at an annual Evening of Vision, Music and Inspiration, which will feature Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.

WAR ON TERROR Would-Be Bin Laden Assassin Held in Pakistan An American armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said.

BY HANA LEVI JULIAN NATO submarines have been watching the Syrian coastline and searching for ships suspected of smuggling weapons to terrorist organizations – among them, Hizbullah in Lebanon.

he man was identified as 52-year-old Californian construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner, said officer Mumtaz Ahmad Khan. He was picked up in a forest in the Chitral region late Sunday, where he was "roaming in the security zone in a suspicious manner," Khan said. He was questioned by intelligence officials in Peshawar, the main northwestern city. Faulkner was hunting bin Laden because he suffered personal losses in the September 11, 2001 attacks, Khan said. "We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night-vision equipment, "our suspicion grew." Authorities saids that the American was posing as a tourist and had received a police escort due to security risks in the area, which is common for foreigners visiting remote parts of Pakistan. Provincial police chief of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Malik Naveed, said that the bearded Faulkner said he wanted to support and "encourage" NATO troops in Afghanistan. Faulkner arrived in the Chitrali town of Bumburate on June 3 and stayed in a hotel there. When he checked out without informing police, officers began hunting for him, said Khan. He eluded the escort overnight and traveled to the border with Afghanistan but was stopped before crossing it. An intelligence official in Chitral, who asked not to be identified, said Faulkner shouted, "Don't come closer to me or I'll open fire!" Chitral police officials who arrested Faulkner said on the condition of anonymity

NATO Watches Syria Smuggle Weapons to Hizbullah

A California man was detained in Pakistan after telling police there he was on a mission to kill Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. that Faulkner said he was going to cross the border into the eastern Afghan region of Nuristan to kill two senior aides of Osama bin Laden. The daily Dawn newspaper on Tuesday said Faulkner acknowledged to police that he wanted to "decapitate" Osama bin Laden. When asked why he thought he had a chance of tracing bin Laden, Faulkner replied, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him," said Khan. Khan said Faulkner was carrying a book containing Christian verses and teachings. "He was also carrying medicines for kidney and blood pressure treatment," and said that he was a kidney patient, a police investigator said.

s part of the body's Active Endeavor anti-terrorist operation, the Spanish submarine Sirocco S-72 snapped a photo of a ship sailing from the Syrian port of Tartus on March 2, bearing dozens of military vehicles. The ship's flag, and its destination, were deemed classified information, and are not available to the media. However, the Defence Forum of India noted that it took less than a month for Israel's President Shimon Peres to announce to reporters that Syria had transferred Scud missiles to Hizbullah. That message, noted the report, was quickly followed up by one from King Abdullah II of Jordan, who began to talk of the “high risk” of a looming conflict in the region. Last month the British newspaper The Times claimed to have access to satellite images showing a Hizbullah complex near the Syrian town of Adra, northwest of Damascus. The images allegedly revealed shelters, weapons and a fleet of trucks, presumably to be used for transfer. Israeli intelligence sources have maintained for more than a year that Hizbullah has rearmed its weapons stockpile to levels significantly higher than the group possessed prior to the 2006 Second Lebanon War. The weapons allegedly are being sent to the group from Iran, through Syria, and are also being supplied by Damascus as well. ___________________________________

“Has anyone even considered what it would take for Hizbullah to manage and launch such weapons?” ___________________________________ The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) warned from the outset, when the Second Lebanese War ceasefire Resolution 1703 was signed, that it could not enforce the document, which calls for the disarmament of Hizbullah and any other “foreign armed force” in Lebanon. The document also stipulated that UNIFIL was to ensure that no arms were smuggled in to Hizbullah. Syria has repeatedly denied that it has transferred weapons to the terrorist organization – but Israeli military intelligence has continued to emphasize the group is receiving Scud missiles and Syrian-made M-600 mid-range missiles from Damascus. The M-600 is an improved version of the

NATO keeping a close eye on Syria, who has been supporting Hizbullah with arms. Iranian Fatah-110 missile, carrying a 1,000pound warhead. It is fitted with a GPS-aided inertial navigation, upgrading it from a simple terrorist weapon to an outright military threat. Moreover, because it is solid-fueled, it can be fired without preparation, as opposed to the Scud missile, which must be protected from air strikes during fueling because it requires liquid fuel. According to an article published in the May 17 issue of Aviation Week, the latest Syrian variant of the Scud missile is equipped with a 500-meter CEP (complex event processing) system – meaning that the missile can identify and proceed to the most meaningful target among thousands of possible options within a 500-meter range. The same article noted that the CEP of the M600 was approximately 200 meters – nearly Scud class. The ranges of both reportedly extend to at least 600 kilometers, enabling them to reach beyond Tel Aviv or Jerusalem from southern Lebanon. Up to this point, Syria has operated the Hwasong-6 upgrade to the Scud-B. According to Jane's, the Hwasong-6, also known as the Scud-C, was developed by North Korea in 1984 as an improvement of the R-17 SS-1 Scud-B missile, which it had received from Egypt. Among the changes made by the North Koreans was an expansion of the missile's range from its original 300 kilometers to 500 kilometers. A quiet discussion spotted recently between defense and military personnel on an Internet military aviation forum posed the question, “Has anyone even considered what it would take for Hizbullah to manage and launch such weapons?” The writer went on to note that even though the terrorist group had “used that cruise missile a while back.... still, does anyone really think a third-world terrorist group has sufficiently trained personnel to handle such weapons? Methinks one will find more than a few Syrians, Iranians and North Koreans among the service personnel. And if that is true, why isn't a bigger fuss being raised over such support of terrorism?”

IRANIAN THREAT

The

Iranian Threat Human Rights in Iran Deteriorates as New Iran Sanctions are Imposed June 12, 2010, marked the one-year anniversary of the contested Iranian presidential election. Immediately after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed victory in last year’s election, Iranians participated in widespread and deadly street unrest. Thousands of Iranians were jailed after a crackdown aimed at stifling the opposition protests.

he presidential election, followed by huge opposition protests, has lead Iran into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and further exposed widening establishment divisions. In an attempt to prevent any protests on the anniversary of Iran’s presidential election, Iranian authorities have a ordered at least two million paramilitary members into Tehran, re-arrested dissident activists and aggressively enforced public bans on mingling of the sexes and un-Islamic women’s clothing. Nevertheless, opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohammad Khatami have reiterated calls for a free election and demonstrations on June 12 to mark the anniversary. In its recent May 2010 report, the IAEA declared that Iran has amassed more than two tons of enriched uranium. This amount of enriched material is enough for two nuclear warheads. The report further stated that inspectors discovered that nuclear equipment was removed from a Tehran research laboratory after the IAEA had asked for details about the work. Iran’s resistance to the increases concerns over possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear weapons development program and its cover-up. “This latest IAEA report clearly shows Iran’s continued failure to comply with its international obligations and its sustained lack of cooperation with the IAEA,” White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer said. According to Claude Heller, this month’s United Nations Security Council (UNSC) President said that a resolution aimed at imposing new sanctions on Iran for its controversial nuclear program will be tabled “very soon” in the UNSC. Almost one year after Iran’s presidential election that initiated the biggest and most sustained anti-government demonstrations since the establishment of the Islamic Republic, the human rights situation remains “devastating”.

Since Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected President of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2005, the human rights situation there has dramatically worsened. In the aftermath of the Iranian elections on June 12, 2009 the human rights situation has deteriorated even further. Torture, systematic arrests, and imprisonment are usual occurrences. Iran currently has the distinction of having the world’s highest record of public hangings and executions. Ahmadinejad has raised the number of executions from 86 in 2005, when he took office as president for the first time to 346 in 2008. During the short period between the June elections and the inauguration of Ahmadinejad in August 2009, 115 people were executed. According to a report from Amnesty International, there were 196 executions in Iran in the first half of 2009. By November 2009, there have been 359 executions. Iran’s use of the death penalty is particularly egregious in the country’s ethnic areas. There are currently more than 17 activists form the country’s Kurdish minority on death row. In July 2009, Human Rights Watch said that Iranian authorities were using prolonged, harsh interrogations, beatings, sleep deprivation and threats of torture to get false confessions from detainees. Freedom of Press has worsened in Iran: In a ranking issued by Reporters Without Borders, Iran dropped to number 172 out of 175 countries within the press freedom index. "Automatic prior censorship, state surveillance of journalists, mistreatment, journalists forced to flee the country, illegal arrests and imprisonment – such is the state of press freedom this year in Iran," said Reporters Without Borders in October 2009. Iran’s ethnic minorities, such as Arabs, Azerbijanis, Baluchis and Kurds, who are campaigning for recognition of their cultural and political rights, are being repressed. Amnesty International reports that Iranian authorities continue to harass and persecute Baha’is and members of other religious minorities (such as the Baha'is). The Iranian government has created a threatening atmosphere for all religions but the Shia Muslims. Government imprisonment, harassment, intimidation and discrimination based on religious beliefs continue.

Russia in Talks With Iran on New Nuclear Plants Russia said on Thursday it was in discussions with Iran on possible new nuclear power plants in the Islamic state, the country's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters. "We are discussing these [new plants] with our Iranian partners, we are practically discussing this now," Lavrov said. Russia's Foreign Ministry said that new United Nations sanctions against Tehran over its contentious nuclear program do not oblige Moscow to scrap a controversial deal to deliver surface-to-air missiles to Iran. The clarification came after the Russian Interfax news agency cited an arms industry source as saying Russia would freeze its unfulfilled contract to sell S-300 missiles to Iran after the UN Security Council imposed

Israel And US Hail UN Sanctions, As Turkey Calls It A ‘Mistake’ Israel and the United States hailed the United Nations vote to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran, which immediately vowed to continue with its nuclear program.

rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the new sanctions a "positive" step, but expressed hope that it would lead countries to take broader economic and diplomatic measures, including sanctions on the Iranian energy sector. "The UN Security Council resolution passed today, led by the determination of President Obama, is a positive step," Netanyahu said. "The resolution made clear to Iran that the world's leading powers oppose its nuclear program." "The biggest danger to peace is that the most dangerous regimes in the world will use the most dangerous weapons of all. The international community needs to continue to keep the prevention of this threat at the top its agenda." Netanyahu's words echoed an earlier statement by the Foreign Ministry that described UN Security Council resolution 1929 as an "important step." "It is of great importance to implement the decision fully and immediately," the Foreign Ministry statement said. Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, said the sanctions "can serve as a viable platform for launching very farreaching sanctions by the United States or like-minded nations against Iran." Those sanctions could be aimed at Iran's ability to import gasoline, he said. "They have a lot of oil, but not a lot of refined oil or the ability to export oil abroad," Oren said. Obama, meanwhile, said the new sanctions send an "unmistakable message" that the international community will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Speaking shortly after the Security Council voted to impose some of the toughest sanctions on Iran so far, Obama faulted the Islamic state's leaders for failing to seriously address concerns about the country's nuclear activities. "These are the most comprehensive sanctions that the Iranian government has faced," Obama said.

Netanyahu: “The resolution made clear to Iran that the world's leading powers oppose its nuclear program.” Turkey, which voted against the imposition of sanctions, called the UN move a "mistake" and said that together with Brazil it would continue to seek a diplomatic solution to remove concerns over Iran's nuclear program. Iran rejected the resolution over its nuclear activities, vowing to continue enriching uranium. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed as "valueless" the resolution, which passed by 12 votes to two with one abstention, saying it should be thrown out. "This resolution is not worth a penny for Iran and I sent a message to each one of them [UN Security Council members] that your resolution is like a used handkerchief which should go into a garbage can," the Iran Student News agency quoted him as saying. "They [world powers] will not be able to harm us," added Ahmadinejad, who is currently on a visit in Tajikistan. Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the UN Security Council vote to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran a "wrong move". "It was not a constructive step...to resolve the nuclear issue. It will make the situation more complicated," Mehmanparast said. Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog, said after the vote that Iran would not halt its nuclear enrichment activities. "Nothing will change. The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue uranium enrichment activities," Ali Asghar Soltanieh told reporters in Vienna shortly after the UN vote in New York.

Rep. King, Religious and Community Leaders Stand with Israel Continued form Cover ticipation in the investigation.” "I believe that the Obama administration's foreign policy is responsible for what happened with the flotilla," King tells CBS, referring to the civilian deaths aboard a ship carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza. So now King is introducing a resolution to force the president to militarily support Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. King’s resolution would authorize the U.S. to provide Israel with necessary weapons and supplies to enforce the Gaza blockade, and would pressure the U.S. to withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council. In addition, the resolution will demand that Obama oppose any international effort to investigate Israel for last week’s enforcement of the blockade. Appearing on Fox News, King explained why the U.S. shouldn't investigate the Israeli raid that left nine peace activists dead: Their blockade is entirely justified by international law. And by having this investigation we are setting up a moral equivalency between Israel and Hamas. Israel is under seige. It has had thousands of missiles fired into it from Gaza. This would be as if we allowed the UN to investigate the U.S. when we blockaded Cuba in 1962... As an ally we should be saying this blockade is absolutely right... and no U.S. taxpayer dollar should be used for this investigation. When asked why he wants the U.S. off the UN Human Rights Council, King explained, "It is strictly a pro-third world, anti-American council. It's hypocritical, it never condemns what's done against Israel, it only condemns Israel, and by us being on it

" Because when it comes to human rights, our reputation is just so respectable! Of concern to Congressman King is that Iran has now said it wants to send its Revolutionary Guards to participate into another attempt to break Israel's naval blockade. "President Obama has to realize that this is the real deal. We have to make it absolutely clear we stand with Israel, we're against Iran and we will do whatever we have to do to keep Iran from being involved," Rep. King said. Meanwhile, the State Department brushed off claims from Iran that it wants to help the people of Gaza, saying they don't believe the country's intentions are "benign."

IHH off ice indicated that the group was planning to take part in terrorist activities in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Bosnia. French intelligence cited the efforts of IHH leader B’ulent Yildirim to recruite soldiers for jihad activities in a number of Muslim countries and that the IHH transferred money, f irearms, and explosives to jihadists in a number of countries. JCRCNY off icers, members of the Congressional delegations and New York elected off icials expressed strong condemnation of those who aid terrorists and their supporters. White, Black, Christian, Jewish, all came together in the middle of Times Square. “As New Yorkers…we have a responsibility to make certain that all those who come to New York are in no way associated with terrorism, its ideology or its tactics,” said Janice W. Shorenstein, President, JCRC-NY. "The United States must stand with Israel as it seeks to carry out legitimate acts of self defense. Too many on the flotilla were not trying to deliver humanitarian aid. They were trying to run Israel's blockade of Gaza, which was legal under international law, and were looking to spark a violent confrontation. They should be condemned by the world as supporters of the Hamas terrorist organization, not celebrated as humanitarian activists,” Congressman Eliot Engel (NY-17). Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer expressed strong support for Israel's right to conduct the embargo. Behind him are Representatives Charles Rangle, Elliot Engle and Jerold Nadler "The Gaza Flotilla was sponsored by IHH, an organization with a long history of ties to terrorism.” Acknowledging that some flotilla passengers may have been “well-intentioned humanitarians” Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney said “America has a right to be concerned…(and) an obligation to protect our borders against potential terrorists.” She noted that “this was a premeditated attack, intended to provoke a response and purposely initiate a violent confrontation. We know that those on the flotilla had terrorist ties to Hamas and to Iran.” Stressing that “Israel warned the boats that they were in violation of a lawful blockade” she noted that safe harbor and port facilities had been offered so that all humanitarian aid could be delivered to Gaza. “As the details have emerged, it has become clear that the Israeli military attempted to resolve the situation peacefully and in accordance with international law,” Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy (NY-4). "We now know that some of the passengers on the Mavi Marmara came armed with the intent, not of providing humanitarian assistance, but, of attacking Israeli soldiers. That should come as no surprise when the IHH, the Flotilla's sponsoring organization, has long been known for its aff iliations with terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Al Qaeda. It is the responsibility of our government to ensure that terrorists, and those who support terrorist activities, not be allowed to enter the United States. It is imperative that the State Department conduct investigations to ensure that our national security is protected,” Congressman Jerold Nadler (NY-8).

"I commend the JCRC for organizing this broad outreach effort and stand with my colleagues in Congress, the local elected off icials and community leaders to ensure that the appropriate steps are taken to investigate the ties to terrorism for any individuals coming into our country, including those from the Mavi Marmara who are connected to the IHH. If we are to continue as a free and democratic society, then we must be certain that those who would abuse our hospitality are not allowed to sow their seeds of chaos and violence in our land,” Congressman Charles Rangel (NY-15). ________________________________

“The State Department must ensure that we aren’t granting visas to terrorists” ________________________________ “The United States should not be issuing visas to those who enable terrorism. The passengers aboard Turkey’s flotilla either are considered terrorists, or at the very least willfully aided terrorists. Our existing laws are clear and we ought to follow them - anyone that aids and abets terrorism cannot be issued a visa,” Congressman Anthony Weiner (NY-9). “I’m proud to stand with my fellow elected off icials in support of our friends both in Israel the JCRC,” said Speaker Christine C. Quinn. “We are here to strongly urge the State Department to investigate visa applicants associated with IHH and any flotilla passengers applying for visas to ensure they have not disqualif ied themselves for visas. Israel has the legal right to defend itself. Such is the case for every other nation in the world, and Israel’s situation should be no different.” “I strongly endorse the Jewish Community Relations Council’s petition calling on the State Department to fully investigate visa applicants associated with the radical Turkish Islamist group IHH, as well as any passengers from the Mavi Marmara to ensure they have not disqualif ied themselves for visas by associating with terrorists. The law excluding terrorist supporters from the United States exists for good reason and I fully endorse the call for it to be applied stringently to anyone associated with the effort to break Israel’s legal and necessary blockade of Gaza,” Congressman Gary Ackerman (NY-5). “Entry to our nation is a privilege extended to friends of the United States and our allies. I expect the State Department to fully vet anyone applying to enter the United States and deny entry to anyone found to have provided assistance to terrorists,” Congressman Tim Bishop (NY-1). “The sponsor of the flotilla that attempted to violate the Gaza blockade has a history of aiding, funding and planning terrorist activity. Now, participants in that flotilla are attempting to enter the United States. We should not under any circumstances allow individuals with ties to the IHH enter the United States. The State Department must ensure that we aren’t granting visas to terrorists,” Congressman Steve Israel (NY-2).

Keynote speaker Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, former Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, often called the "consensus rabbi," who praised the work of his octogenarian colleague. (Lau enjoys a position of respect among many Jewish denominations, is admired in both the Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities, and was reported to have been considered for the presidency of Israel.) Like Schneier, Rabbi Lau has sought to create positive rapport among Jews of multiple philosophies and to improve relationships between the Jewish people and other faith groups. Like Rabbi Schneier, he has been instrumental in encouraging improvement in JewishCatholic relations. Throughout this festive evening, personal admiration surmounted political differences.

Commissioner Raymond Kelly, Abraham Foxman of ADL, the Hon. Paul Volker, Dr. Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations, and scores of others, and business leaders such as John Catsimatidis, (Red Apple Corporation) Ronald S.

Special appreciation was expressed to Commissioner Ray Kelly for providing strong and effective security against those who seek to destroy. Destruction is something with which the young Arthur Schneier was all too familiar. In his keynote address, Rabbi Yitschak Meir Lau had spoke about Schneier’s ability to reach out to our brothers. “Interesting,” said Rabbi Schneier. “I was going to say much the same – about not only reaching out to the Jewish people but to all of G-d’s children.” He expressed his thankfulness to HaShem

and “real gratitude to America, the land of opportunity,” the country which had given him haven and enabled him to enjoy his life’s experiences. “No one should ever think I did it with my own two hands,” commenting on his ability to touch critical issues during so many periods of history. “I am just the shaliach. This is my source of strength. G-d takes me by the hand. Whatever outreach I have done is just being His emissary. “ In conversation with Rabbi Schneier June 8, he described the evening as one with “a high emotional content…an intimate gathering of 800 people, an eclectic audience of friends.” The milestone event offered a “great sense of fulfillment in having been able to be a tool for HaShem.” ___________________________________

While a student at Yeshiva

“I was going to say much the same – about not only reaching out to the Jewish people but to all of G-d’s children.” ___________________________________ Reminiscing, Rabbi Schneier recalled the story of Joseph and his adventures in search of his brethren. He remembered the early demonstrations on behalf of gaining freedom for Soviet Jewry when he stood with the late “Bobby” Kennedy in front of the Park East Synagogue. (The synagogue is located directly across the street from a building which houses Russian diplomats.) He recollected thoughts about his first rabbinic delegation to Moscow, one on which he traveled with Rabbi Cook and the chief rabbis of France and Romania. The 120th anniversary is a special milestone. The celebration of this landmark anniversary was spirited and filled with diversity. It was a gracious gathering that exemplified the concept of “generation to generation.” Noting that generous gifts totaling 2.5 million dollars had been raised during the event - funds dedicated to the sake of education – the rabbi reminded everyone how much good work and how much more effective the addition of another half million – a total of 3 million - could be! Rabbi Arthur Schneier is living history. Recalling events that have shaped his life, he described how, at 15, then a young student on the way to his school in Vienna, he witnessed his own synagogue engulfed in flames. It

John Catsimatidis, owner of D’agostino supermarket chain University, he was the beneficiary of academic scholarship and other financial support. “I have deep appreciation of the importance of the value of providing every child with education. Education is invaluable.” The rabbi noted that his greatest joy is seeing children enjoy education. With warmth and emotion, he spoke of the young students who emerge as doctors, lawyers, and professionals. He spoke as a survivor, a scholarship recipient, an educator and a rabbi. Arthur Schneier has embodied the importance of preserving Judaism for every generation. Care and concern about the Jewish future is characteristic of Rabbi Arthur Schneier. “It is most important think about - “le dor v’dor” he commented, “energizing the faith from generation to generation. The development of the Park East Day School exemplifies that faith. It is my outlook and belief that every Jew must participate in ahavat Yisrael and in brotherhood.” “Not only am I meeting the children of parents I had married, but even their grandchildren.

Mortgage Rates Near All-Time Low

REAL ESTATE

Harlem Black Synagogue Dispute Snags Buyers

Rates on 30-year fixed mortgages fell this week to the lowest level of the year and were barely shy of the all-time low.

ortgage finance company Freddie Mac says the average rate sank to 4.72 percent, down from 4.79 percent last week. It was just above the record of 4.71 set last December. The average rate on a 15-year f ixed-rate mortgage hit 4.17 percent, down from 4.2 percent last week and the lowest on records dating back to August 1991. Though mortgage rates are at attractive levels, the housing market hasn’t benef ited. The number of customers applying for a mortgage to purchase property fell to the lowest level in 13 years last week and was down 35 percent from a month ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. That’s a sign the market is struggling without a tax credit of up to $8,000 for f irst-time buyers, which expired at the end of April. The government has taken massive steps to help the housing market recover. A campaign by the Federal Reserve to reduce borrowing costs for consumers pushed rates down to extraordinarily low levels last year. Rates were expected to rise after the program ended this spring, but have fallen instead over the past two months. Investors, wary of the European debt crisis and the turbulent stock market, have shifted money into the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. That has pushed down the interest rate, or yield, on U.S. Treasury debt. Fixed mortgage

rates tend to track that yield. More recently, the latest report on the U.S. employment picture showed that few private-sector jobs are being created. That made investors nervous about the stock market and pushed up bond prices, which pulls down rates. “Following a relatively weak employment report, bond yields fell this week and mortgage rates followed,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate signif icantly, even within a given day. Rates on f ive-year, adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.92 percent, down from 3.94 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages fell to 3.91 percent from 3.95 percent. That was the lowest average since May 2004. The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac’s survey averaged 0.7 a point for 30-year, 15-year and 5-year loans. The average fee for 1-year loans was 0.6 of a point.

Buy Mega-Luxury Yacht, Get A Supercar For Free FOR EXTRA ADDED CONVENIENCE THE AUTO SECURELY PARKS INSIDE THE CRAFT This is the Strand Craft 122 Open, a proposed ultra-luxurious, high-speed 38 meter yacht. If you fork over the cash to buy one you get the matching stored-aboard 880HP, twin-turbocharged V12-powered coach-built super car thrown in for free.

trand Craft is not new to mixing cars with boats, recall the Corvette Sting Ray-inspired speeder from a few years back. But this behemoth is on a whole different scale. The Strand Craft 122 is planned as an art deco masterstroke powered by two massive MTU Series 4000 diesel engines good for over 9,200 HP and running two Rolls Royce jet drives. If that's not enough there's an optional "booster" engine in the form of a Vericor TF 50 delivering another 5,100 HP. At 38 meters with a 7.6 meter beam and 1.5 meter draft, it clocks in at 120 tons, but with so much power delivers a planned 55 knot top speed (about 63 MPH). Then there's the car. Stored inside the boat in a garage below the rear deck is the Strand Craft Tender, a misnomer in a way with a twin-turbocharged V12 delivering 880HP and a top speed of 233 MPH. The coach-built, ultra-custom car is designed to complement the 122's design and provide extremely speedy land transport wherever you put in to port. There is no price attached to this whole endeavor, which means if you have to ask you can't afford it, we certainly hope some rich fool steps up to the plate just so we can see that super car doing smokey burnouts at sea.

Leasing vs. Buying a Car Is it better to lease or buy a car? We take a look at the pros and cons of leasing versus buying a car.

any car shoppers don’t think twice about whether they will buy or lease a car. The majority of them automatically decide to buy a car because leasing seems so expensive. But, there are some times when leasing makes sense.

What is a Car Lease? When you lease a car, you enter an agreement with the leasing agent to keep the car for a minimum of six months and pay a monthly lease payment. You can negotiate the lease price the same way you would if you were buying the car. In fact, you should negotiate the price, but be careful that a price reduction doesn’t result in increased prices elsewhere in the lease deal.

Myths About Car Leasing People have the notion that leasing a car is more expensive than buying one, when it fact that’s not always the case. Buying a car is only cheaper when you keep the car for years after it’s been paid off. However, if you’re like many people, and trade your car in before it’s paid off, you’re losing money. If you’re only going to keep a car for a few years, leasing it is a better option. The monthly payments on a car lease are also anywhere from 30% to 60% lower than monthly payments on a car loan. So, you save money on a car lease, if you lease it for a few years. But that’s only if you would have traded in a purchased vehicle after the same length of time. If you plan to keep your car for a long time, it’s cheaper to buy a car. For example, it’s cheaper purchase a car and keep it for 10 years than it is to lease a car for 10 years.

Drawbacks of Car Leasing One of the drawbacks of leasing a car is the audit process it goes through when you turn it in. The lease agent will go over the

vehicle with a fine-toothed comb to evaluate the damages done to the car. You’ll have to pay extra fees for anything more than “normal wear and tear” which could include things like miles over the allowance and excessive dings in the car. When the lease is over you don’t have any car payments, but you also don’t have anything to drive unless you decide to purchase the leased car or another one. Deciding whether to buy or lease a car isn’t just about price. You should also consider your personal lifestyle in the choice.

When is Car Buying the Better Choice - You should choose car buying over leasing when: - You can afford higher monthly payments. - You prefer to drive your car for a long time. - You can afford to pay for repairs once the warranty has expired. - You drive more than 15,000 miles per year. - You want to modify or customize your car. - You tend to mistreat your cars. - You want to own a car.

When is Car Leasing the Better Choice

- You should choose car leasing over buying when: - You want lower monthly payments. - You prefer to get a new car every 2-4 years. - You don’t want to pay for expensive repairs. - You drive fewer than 15,000 miles per year. - You keep your car in good shape.

Qualifying for a Car Lease Contract You’re typically required to have a higher credit score when you lease a car than when you purchase one. That’s because leases have lower down payments and monthly payments. If you have a poor credit history, you might have to pay a higher interest rate on the lease. Or worse, you could have your lease application denied all together.

The Trollhattan Project: Rescuing Saab There’s a traffic jam down on the floor of the factory as dozens of newly completed sedans slowly nudge forward, waiting their turn for shipment to dealers around the world.

Saab factory at Trollhattan. reportedly losing billions of dollars on the venture, GM put Saab on the list of brands it planned to close or sell off after it emerged from bankruptcy last July. A buyer did emerge — a small Swedish manufacturer called Koenigsegg Automotive AB. But even at a bargain-basement price, it couldn’t come up with the financing. As 2009 drew to a close, GM ordered Saab to "wind down," dismissing its board, canceling parts orders and shuttering the maker’s assembly plant in Trollhattan, an hour’s drive north of Sweden’s industrial center of Gothenburg. Muller weighed in last November, suggesting Spyker could find the cash. But by then, GM seemed ready to wash its hands of the seemingly doomed subsidiary. Complicating matters, the U.S. maker told Muller, a Dutch lawyer trained in mergers

UniCab, New York’s ‘Taxi of Tomorrow,’ Drives Into the Future It won’t eliminate cabbies’ funky body odor, but the UniCab, a recent proposal for New York Taxi and Limousine Commission’s Taxi of Tomorrow project, improves on the city’s current Crown Vic model in practically every other way imaginable.

he compact, light-weight UniCab, designed by Australian company UniCar, meets the staid requirements as outlined by the TLC, but its mix of space-age “Total Recall”–style coolness and Herbie the Love Bug personality is why this yellow cab currently wears the yellow jersey. Whereas every “car of the future” trumpets how it’s electric technology will do away with our current gas guzzlers, UniCab goes one step further by offering an ingenious solution to powering-up without actually stopping: battery receptors located on the outside of the wheels pass strategically located hubs throughout the f ive boroughs. But the UniCab is not only about incorporating “green” technology; it also wants to impress us with a host of radical design innovations. This includes wheels placed on the outermost corner of the vehicle, providing increased cabin space, a “koala pouch” luggage compartment that slides out low like a dolly cart, helping to shorten the vehicle length by 5 feet, and a sliding-door

system, helping pedestrians and cyclists, well, stay alive. If the TLC chooses the UniCab design, which was created by a Melbourne student Damian Lucciu, you can say goodbye to the useless front passenger seat, which will be turned around to face the back seat, giving passengers more of a riding-in-a-limo feel—minus the dome lights, custom bar and mirrored ceiling. An automated ramp provides easy access for the disabled; a solar-panel roof opens up to allow people panoramic sky views; and LED screens on the outside windows give potential “share-a-ride” passengers information like where the cab is going and the number of available seats. Think you have a better concept? Well, you don’t have long. New York off icials plan to choose the exclusive “taxi of tomorrow”—the futuristic yellow fleet that will rule the city streets from 2014 to 2024—by October.

pyker Cars NV Chief Executive Officer Victor Muller has a bemused expression on his face as he looks down the line and does a quick mental count of all the new Saab 9-5s. “That’s more than we built all last year,” he says, referring to Spyker, the little Dutch sports car company he revived beginning in 1999. Muller is thinking bigger numbers these days as the new owner of Saab, the Swedish car company that came within a hairsbreadth of failure early this year before being purchased by smaller Spyker. Founded shortly after World War II by a group of Scandinavian aircraft engineers, Saab has struggled from the very beginning, though the last 20 years of uncertainty were spent as a subsidiary of General Motors. The U.S. maker had hoped to profit from Saab’s reputation for building quirky cars, turning it into a sort of brand counterpoint to its more traditional luxury brand, Cadillac. But Saab got caught up in the same so-called badge-engineering problem as the rest of GM, and its products ended up looking too much like everything else the company produced. Critics sniffed and potential buyers largely steered clear of Saab showrooms. After

Retail Sales Hit Lowest Level in Eight Months Spending Takes a Big Plunge A big drop in May retail sales has raised new concerns about the durability of the economic recovery.

etail sales plunged 1.2 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the largest decline in eight months. But another report revealed a potential silver lining: Consumer sentiment improved in early June to its strongest level in nearly 2 1/2 years, bolstered by hopes of better job and credit conditions. The preliminary June reading on the overall index of consumer sentiment rose to 75.5 from 73.6 at the end of May, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers. The f igure was above the median forecast of 74.5 among economists polled by Reuters. The disparate data on consumer sentiment and spending underscored lingering anxiety about the economy and caution over consumers' personal f inances. On Wall Street, the markets waffled on the conflicting news. Stocks traded in a narrow range after a report showed consumers are gaining conf idence in the economy, even if they aren't returning to stores. According to the Commerce Department report, Americans slashed spending on everything from cars to clothing to building materials. Auto sales fell 1.7 percent. Excluding autos, sales fell 1.1 percent. Economists are worried that households will start trimming outlays as they continue to be battered by high unem-

ployment and uncertainty in the stock market. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of total economic activity. There's also concern that spending will freeze up as Americans see their wealth shrink. Investors have sold off stocks for more than a month because of concerns that Europe's sovereign debt crisis will slow a worldwide economic rebound. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 7.9 percent last month, the worst May for the blue chip index since 1940. A separate Commerce report Friday said business inventories rose 0.4 percent in April for the fourth consecutive month of gains. Business sales climbed

0.6 percent in April for the 13th straight monthly increase. Some economists cautioned against overreacting to the gloomy May retail sales report because the numbers can be volatile from month to month. But they said if future months show weakness, then they will be forced to trim their estimates for overall economic growth in the second half of this year. The overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at an annual rate of 3 percent in the f irst three months of this year. Much of that was the result of a 3.5 percent expansion in consumer spending â€” the best showing for this category in three years. The sharp decline in U.S. retail sales in May "dramatically weakens the outlook for consumption growth in the second quarter ... and is a reminder that households are not going to be the engine of growth for some time," said Paul Dales, U.S. economist for Capital Economics. Analysts said the key will be employment and income growth in the months ahead. But most expect the unemployment rate of 9.7 percent won't fall much in the coming months. "Our own view is that the labor market recovery will be a grudging one, that consumers will enjoy only modest gains in wages and salaries for some time and that consumer spending growth will therefore prove disappointing," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., an economic consulting f irm in New York. The decline in May retail sales was the largest since sales had fallen 2.2 percent in September. Analysts had been

forecasting sales would be weak but remain in positive territory. The government did revise up slightly the April performance to show a gain of 0.6 percent for the month instead of the originally reported 0.4 percent increase. Pulling down the overall number in May was a 9.3 percent plunge in building materials. That follows the expiration of a tax credit for homebuyers in April that spurred home sales. Department store sales fell 1.8 percent while sales in the broader category of general merchandise stores, which includes big retailers such as Wal-Mart, fell 1.1 percent. Gasoline stations sales were down 3.3 percent, a drop that reflected in part lower gasoline pump prices during the month. The Federal Reserve reported Thursday that households' net worth rose for the fourth consecutive quarter, but since then stock prices have been tumbling. Economists say it may not be until 2012 or 2013 at best before Americans' wealth returns to its prerecession levels. Last week, the International Council of Shopping Centers reported that its index for revenue at stores open at least a year posted a 2.6 percent rise in May compared to sales in May 2009. That followed a 0.8 percent April increase and a 9 percent surge in March. Target Corp. posted a small gain in May that was below internal forecasts while department store chain J.C. Penney Co. and many teen merchants including Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and American Eagle Outf itters Inc. reported declines in revenue at stores open at least a year.

Are You Stuck in Low Interest Rates? BY ROBERT KIRSCHNER AND GERALD HARRIS It’s not a secret that interest rates offered by banks these days are low. In fact, they’re very low. Rates change from day to day and vary from bank to bank. However, 12-month certificates of deposit (CDs) offer less than 1.4% at most banks. And six-month CDs pay even less than that – typically less than one percent.

CD is an interest-bearing, FDICinsured debt instrument offered by banks. The depositor earns a fixed interest rate in exchange for tying up invested money for the duration of the certificate's maturity. CDs are fully taxable at the local, state and federal level and may be subject to a penalty if withdrawn prior to maturity. CDs also bring risks such as interest rate risk which is the risk that the value of the investment will be worth less due to a rise in interest rates. Treasuries are debt obligations issued by the Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government. U.S. Treasury Securities are issued by the U.S. government in order to pay for government projects. However, they generally have even lower yields than CDs. A 26-week Treasury Bill currently yields less than a quarter of a percent. And putting your money in a 2-year Treasury Note won’t get you much more; its yield is less than a third of a percent. As you can see, the rates on CDs and Treasuries are relatively low. This is because you are paying for the safety of your principal. Are there any alternatives to consider? Yes there are. One alternative is stocks – which represents an ownership position in a corporation. Many stocks pay dividends, and dividend paying stocks may provide for a higher “yield” than CDs or Treasuries. However, equities come with much more risk. When you invest in stocks, there is no guarantee of principal, meaning that you could potentially lose your investment.

A CASE FOR MUNIS A Municipal Bond is a bond issued by a state, city, or local government. Municipalities issue bonds to raise capital for their day-to-day activities and for specific projects that they might be undertaking. Interest in Muni bonds are generally exempt from federal tax, and, if you are a resident of the state who issues the bond, the interest earned is also exempt from state tax. Lastly, if you are a resident of the locality that issued the bond (i.e. city), you would be exempt from local tax also. Please note, however, that any capital gains would be taxable at the appropriate capital gains tax rate. For in-state only investors in high tax brackets looking for tax free income, municipal bonds might be suitable. A bond yielding 4.5% would be the taxable equivalent of 6.25% for an investor in the 28% tax bracket.

Murdoch Acquires Skiff and Journalism Online Rupert Murdoch's quest to find a way to get people to pay for news online continued Monday as News Corp. made two investments in digital technology that could be key to the mission.

ews Corp., parent of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post as well as newspapers in Britain and Australia, bought Skiff, a maker of software that delivers information to tablets, smart phones and e-readers. The conglomerate also acquired a stake in media entrepreneur Steve Brill's Journalism Online venture, which has been developing a mechanism for newspapers and magazines to collect revenue from their online readers. "Both Skiff and Journalism Online serve as key building blocks in our strategy to transform the publishing industry and ensure consumers will have continued access to the highest-quality journalism," News Corp. Chief Digital Officer Jon Miller said in a statement. The company did not disclose terms of the Skiff purchase. Skiff, backed by publisher Hearst Corp., has developed the technology for displaying newspaper and magazines on e-readers in a

way that resembles the original print publication. Not included in the deal is an e-reader called the Skiff Reader, which is roughly the same size as Amazon.com's Kindle DX but lacks the color screen of Apple Inc.'s hotselling iPad. People familiar with the matter said separate discussions were taking place regarding the sale of the hardware division that makes the Skiff Reader. Journalism Online has also created a platform that allows publishers to choose from multiple options when it comes to charging for online access to their content — including the "metered model" in which casual readers continue to access information for free, but the most engaged readers pay for full access. About 1,500 newspapers, magazines and online-only publications have joined the Journalism Online pay initiative. "We're delighted with it," said Journalism Online co-founder Gordon Crovitz of the News Corp. investment. Crovitz was a senior executive at the Wall Street Journal and parent Dow Jones for almost three decades, but left after News Corp.'s acquisition of that company. "This will allow us to build out our e-commerce platform more aggressively than we otherwise could. It will also allow us to staff up more quickly."

The Ongoing Saga of the Gaza Blockade It is now nearly two weeks since the Turkish flotilla tried to run the Israeli blockade of the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip and there has been no letup in the antiIsrael rhetoric from around the world.

he UN has met and demanded an ‘impartial’ investigation over the incident which we know is already being written even before the first interview is conducted. Israel has for its part offered to have two international members on the committee that they appointed to look into the matter but of course the Palestinians and their friends have already protested, saying that that is not what the UN called for. The world is ignoring the fact that Israel acted completely within their rights and that it was the flotilla that instigated the events that led up to the bloodshed. There are reports that there are a number of other boats that are going to try to run the legal blockade. They are daring Israel to stop them. Israel has no choice but to stop the boats from docking in Gaza. Israel has its back against the wall if they let one boat through they will have to let all other boats unload their unchecked wares in Gaza. It might be that the f irst few ships will go without any arms but then some ships would start carrying guns, ammunition, missiles and rockets. Does Israel have to commit national suicide and allow weapons such as those found on the Karin A and Francop be off loaded in Gaza? Iran whose president Ahmadinejad has sworn to wipe Israel off the map is now launching a new flotilla to Gaza. The question the world should be asking is “What is in those ships?” Are they sending the tools to destroy Israel, to their proxy Hamas? As long as Hamas is in control of Gaza Israel has to be able to check what and who goes in. The blockade is not perfect; there are many holes in the wall, such as the vast tunnel system that has brought everything from weapons to livestock for the local zoo. But a ship can bring hundreds of tons of material into Gaza at once so they are much more dangerous to Israel than the tunnels.

While the world seems f ixated on Israel they ignore other countries that have committed actual crimes against non combative societies in their midst. Where is the cry for the embattled in Darfur? When was the last time anyone heard about the Chechens who are f ighting a boycott of their own against Russia. Just this week we read about the street f ighting erupting in Kyrgyzstan and Thailand but no Security Council meeting was called, no threats made to bring politicians to trial for their actions. The British government has f inally after nearly 40 years published a long-awaited damning report on the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre in Northern Ireland, blaming British soldiers for the “unjustif ied and unjustif iable” killing of 14 “innocent” civilians. Other than an apology not a word is being said to condemn the politicians that were in charge of the army. The UN is silent. _____________________________

But there is no international outcry. Israel has shown time and time again that they want peace with the Palestinians. They retreated from Gaza, removing thousands of Jews from their homes. They put a moratorium on new construction in Judea and Samaria and even in some parts of Jerusalem. They have removed roadblocks and have even eased some of the restrictions of the Gaza Blockade. But Israel is still the pariah of the Middle East. The political left of the world has taken on the cause of the Palestinians and in so doing have proven the adage, “It took the left to make peace a dirty word.”

The world has to understand that when a person or group commits an act of terror there are consequences to be paid. Israel has every right to enforce the blockade against Hamas. If they want the blockade lifted they should at least insist on freedom for Gilad Schalit.

Editor,

here is a worldwide cry for an investigation into exactly what happened on the flotilla in which 9 terror supporters were killed as Israeli soldiers were defending themselves. How about a UN investigation into the situation of Gilad Schalit. He is being held prisoner for 4 years without any regard to the Geneva Convention. There have been no visits by the Red Cross or Red Crescent, no family visits and only one short video given as proof of life. The UN has done nothing to

Guilty Until Proven Guilty The Historical Responsibility to Fight Against Jewish Hatred.

BY DAVID BROG

On the evening of April 28, 2003, a crowd of approximately 200 Iraqi civilians gathered outside U.S. Army headquarters in Fallujah to protest the occupation of their city. As tension grew, U.S. soldiers from the 82nd Airborne stationed on the building’s roof began f iring upon the crowd, killing at least 13 Iraqis and wounding more than 70. U.S. troops insisted that they f ired only to defend themselves from gunf ire coming from the crowd. The protesters claimed that they were unarmed and never f ired at the soldiers.

he odds are that you have never beaten your breast or searched your soul over this incident in Fallujah. In fact, you have likely never even heard of this incident. And the odds are that you have never heard of the tens if not hundreds of incidents like it, in which civilians have been killed as U.S. soldiers fought in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade. But the odds are overwhelming that you have heard — repeatedly — of an Israeli operation last week aboard a Gaza-bound ship in the Mediter ranean. Israel’s naval commandos, several of whom were beaten to within an inch of their lives, responded with lethal force, killing nine people. The term “double standard” does not suff iciently capture this phenomenon. It’s not just that the Israelis are being held to a different — and immeasurably higher — standard than the rest of humanity. Israel is now being judged in the absence of any objective standard whatsoever. As Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week, it seems that Israel is now “guilty until proven guilty.” Sadly, it is no surprise to see angry mobs on the streets of Tehran or London calling for Jewish blood. It seems that we now must accustom ourselves to similar scenes playing out in Istanbul as well. Yet what is far more troubling is that we are now hearing these critiques being echoed right here in the United States. This is hardly the f irst time that my friends and neighbors have been strangely focused on Israel’s alleged misdeeds. Many complained about the collateral damage in Gaza associated with Israel’s 2009 Operation Cast Lead, intended to stop Hamas from f iring thousands of missiles into its southern cities. Yet these same friends were completely unaware of the destr uction wrought by America’s armed forces in Fallujah less than two years after the April 2003 incident described above. The U.S. Ar my destroyed nearly one-f ifth of the city — and damaged far more — in its effort to crush the insurgency that had taken root there. Many of my friends are horrif ied by Israel’s blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza. Yet these same people never once questioned the United States’ blockade of Saddam-controlled Iraq throughout most of the 1990s. They have no idea that America’s enemies protested the U.S.-led blockade of Iraq in terms almost identical to those they now use to protest Israel’s blockade of Gaza. In his 1996 fatwa declaring war on the United States, for example, Osama bin Laden claimed that “more than 600,000 Iraqi children have died due to lack of food and medicine and as a result of the unjustif iable agg ression [sanctions]

imposed on Iraq.” In 1998, bin Laden again cited the blockade of Iraq and the “over 1 million” Iraqis the United States had killed there. Constructive criticism is f ine and welcome. We must always demand that the United States — and its allies such as Israel — adhere to the highest ethical standards in the f ight against terror. We must ensure that every possible effort is made to avoid civilian casualties. The U.S. militar y must never cease to treasure every single innocent life. Yet the attacks on Israel from most quarters — and the United States’ increasing impatience with Israel, even as it f ights a similar battle, with similar tactics, against a similar enemy — go well beyond such legitimate critiques. The American public and its government should be wary of joining this chorus of condemnation. Americans should understand by now that f ighting enemies who shoot from civilian areas and hide behind human shields — or sometimes masquerade as civilians — will often require that soldiers make diff icult choices, and will inevitably produce mistakes. To the extent that we in the West blur the line between those f ighting terrorism and the terrorists themselves, we help legitimize a standard that will boomerang back on ourselves. It already has. Early last month we had a startling reminder of where this flawed logic can lead. On May 1, a crude car bomb was discovered in an SUV parked in the heart of Times Square. The police later identif ied the prime suspect as Faisal Shahzad, an American of Pakistani origin. In trying to f igure out what had turned Shahzad from an upwardly mobile f inancial analyst into a would-be ter rorist, commentators have focused on an email in which he complained about the killing of his fellow Muslims in Pakistan, Iraq, and Palestine and claimed, “The crusade has already started against Islam and Muslims with cartoons of our beloved Prophet.” Elsewhere Shahzad noted a moderate Pakistani politician who had “bought into the Western jargon” of calling the Taliban and their allies “extremist.” The path toward terrorism begins with the erasure of moral lines. It starts with the equation of terrorists — who seek to kill civilians — with the armed forces who seek to stop the terrorists. It mistakes cartoons with corpses, collateral damage with intentional murder. It fails to distinguish between an er rant missile and an intentional suicide bomb. It confuses the “extremists” with those who f ight extremism. As we Americans f ight the war on terror, we must f ight with our heads as well as our hearts. Americans must always demand the highest standards from their army and from those of allies such as Israel. But we should never validate the type of thinking that is the hallmark of the very enemies we pursue. Today Israel’s soldiers are in the dock. But tomorrow it will be our own. _______________________________ David Brog is executive director of Christians United for Israel.

BY PILAR RAHOLA Why don't we see demonstrations against Islamic dictatorships in London, Paris, Barcelona? Or demonstrations against the Burmese dictatorship?

hy aren't there demonstrations against the enslavement of millions of women who live without any legal protection? Why aren't there demonstrations against the use of children as human bombs where there is conflict with Islam? Why has there been no leadership in support of the victims of Islamic dictatorship in Sudan? Why is there never any outrage against the acts of terrorism committed against Israel? Why is there no outcry by the European left against Islamic fanaticism? Why don't they defend Israel's right to exist? Why confuse support of the Palestinian cause with the defense of Palestinian terrorism? An finally, the million dollar question:Why is the left in Europe and around the world obsessed with the two most solid democracies, the United States and Israel, and not with the worst dictatorships on the planet? The two most solid democracies, which have suffered the bloodiest attacks of terrorism, and the left doesn't care. And then, to the concept of freedom. In every pro Palestinian European forum I hear the left yelling with fervor: "We want freedom for the people!" Not true. They are never concerned with freedom for the people of Syria or Yemen or Iran or Sudan, or other such nations. And they are never preoccupied when Hammas destroys freedom for the Palestinians. They are only concerned with using the concept of Palestinian freedom as a weapon against Israeli freedom. The resulting consequence of these ideological pathologies is the manipulation of the press. The international press does major damage when reporting on the question of the Israeli-Palestinian issue. On this topic they don't inform, they propagandize. When reporting about Israel the majority of journalists forget the reporter code of ethics. And so, any Israeli act of self-defense becomes a massacre, and any confrontation, genocide. So many stupid things have been written about Israel, that there aren't any accusations left to level against her. At the same time, this press never discusses Syrian and Iranian interference in propagating violence against Israel; the indoctrination of children and the corruption of the Palestinians. And when reporting about victims, every Palestinian casualty is reported as tragedy and every Israeli victim is camouflaged, hidden or reported about with disdain. And let me add on the topic of the Spanish left. Many are the examples that illustrate the anti-Americanism and antiIsraeli sentiments that define the Spanish left. For example, one of the leftist parties inSpain has just expelled one of its members for creating a pro-Israel website. I quote from the expulsion document: "Our friends are the people of Iran, Libya and Venezuela, oppressed by imperialism, and not a Nazi state like Israel." In another example, the socialist mayor of Campozuelos changed Shoah Day, commemorating the victims of the Holocaust, with Palestinian Nabka Day, which mourns the establishment of the State of Israel, thus showing contempt for the six million European Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

Or in my native city of Barcelona, the city council decided to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel, by having a week of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Thus, they invited Leila Khaled, a noted terrorist from the 70's and current leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist organization so described by the European Union, which promotes the use of bombs against Israel. This politically correct way of thinking has even polluted the speeches of president Zapatero. His foreign policy falls within the lunatic left, and on issues of the Middle East he is unequivocally pro Arab. I can assure you that in private, Zapatero places on Israel the blame for the conflict in the Middle East, and the policies of foreign minister Moratinos reflect this. The fact that Zapatero chose to wear a kafiah in the midst of the Lebanon conflict is no coincidence; it's a symbol. Spain has suffered the worst terrorist attack in Europe and it is in the crosshairs of every Islamic terrorist organization. As I wrote before, they kill us with cell phones hooked to satellites connected to the Middle Ages. An yet the Spanish left is the most anti Israeli in the world. And then it says it is anti Israeli because of solidarity. This is the madness I want to denounce in this conference. Conclusion: I am not Jewish. Ideologically I am left and by profession a journalist. Why am I not anti Israeli like my colleagues? Because as a non-Jew I have the historical responsibility to fight against Jewish hatred and currently against the hatred for their historic homeland, Israel. To fight against anti-Semitism is not the duty of the Jews, it is the duty of the non-Jews. As a journalist it is my duty to search for the truth beyond prejudice, lies and manipulations. The truth about Israel is not told. As a person from the left who loves progress, I am obligated to defend liberty, culture, civic education for children, coexistence and the laws that the Tablets of the Covenant made into universal principles. Principles that Islamic fundamentalism systematically destroys. That is to say that as a non-Jew, journalist and lefty I have a triple moral duty with Israel, because if Israel is destroyed, liberty, modernity and culture will be destroyed too. The struggle of Israel, even if the world doesn't want to accept it, is the struggle of the world. _______________________________ Pilar Rahola is a Spanish politician, journalist and activist and member of the far left.

America’s Oldest Synagogue Unveils Plan to Preserve Flatiron Cemetery

Congregation Shearith Israel on West 70th Street. Shearith Israel, the oldest congregation in North America, revealed the first phase of preservation work on its historic West 21st Street burial grounds. Located at 98-110 West 21st Street [in use 1829-1851] The cemetery is between loft buildings and across the street from the School Of Visual Arts on West 21st St just off 6th Avenue is the Third Cemetery. This cemetery was adjacent to the congregation's synagogue on 19th Street--built in 1860 and now long gone.

he cemetery, which operated from 1829-1851, is home to more than 250 graves belonging to former members of Shearith Israel’s congregation. Many are unmarked, discovered only recently by a ground-penetrating radar survey.

de Sola Mendes: “To be in the cemetery here with people from the early ancestors of our congregation is very, very meaningful” _______________________ Other aspects of the preservation undertaken by the Upper West Side synagogue include historically sensitive landscaping and the construction of an entry and pathways intended to allow visitors access while protecting the graves. “One of the things that people don’t realize about stone is that it is actually

remarkably fragile,” said Christine Franck, 41, an Upper East Side landscape designer. In some cases, “even just touching them with your hand can damage them because you can remove grains of marble.” Some of the burials predate the cemetery itself, because they were moved in the 1850s from another cemetery at Chatham Square. The oldest known grave is that of Sarah Bueno de Mesquita, who died in 1708, age unknown. Funding for this phase of the preservation came from the El Ad Group and 21 LLC Corp. Later phases, which will focus on restoring headstones, iron work and a brick wall, will cost in the vicinity of $750,000 to $1 million,

according to Lloyd Zuckerberg, chair of the congregation’s historic cemeteries committee. Among the attendees at the unveiling was congregation member Eliza de Sol Mendes, whose family association with Shearith Israel dates back many generations. Twenty-three Jews of Spanish and Portuguese ancestry opened the synagogue in 1654. The synagogue is now on 8 West 70th Street, near Central Park West. “To be in the cemetery here with people from the early ancestors of our congregation is very, very meaningful,” de Sola Mendes, who lives on the Upper East Side, said. “It’s very heartening, it’s really very special because people have given a lot of love time and effort in honoring our American history.”h

Making USB Flash Drives Secure: Why and How The USB based memory devices referred to as USB flash drive or “thumb drive” or “pen drive” have revolutionized the way data storage and portability have evolved.

Although quite a safe methodology, the presence of the keys on the device memory exposes them to the hackers who know where to look for the keys and their unique format.

Hardware encryption: The encryption keys do not ever leave the hardware device, thus never exposing them. This aspect makes hardware encryption potentially more foolproof than the software encryption alternative. Both software and hardware encryption methodologies use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit or 256-bit (As of now, neither the 128-bit nor the 256-bit algorithms have been reportedly compromised). However, just deploying the AES algorithm does not suff ice as the manner in which it is executed is equally important. As is with software encryption, user-passwords are fed into the AES engine to generate the encryption keys, which makes the strength of the encryption directly dependant on the strength of the password. ________________________________

ince their inception in 2000, millions of these devices have been manufactured and sold in all corners of the globe. Statistically speaking, approximately 173 Million units of such USB based flash drives were manufactured in the year 2008 alone. Some of the reasons which have contributed to the ubiquitous presence of these devices are: * Portability: The physical form factor of these devices are generally quite small and light, making them very convenient for carrying around in one’s pocket (hence the name ‘pen drives!’) * Ease of use: With the gaining acceptance of USB as a standard interface, these USB-based storage devices are extremely simple to use. * Low price * Fast speeds * Big (and growing) capacities Of late, one of the major challenges facing individuals as well as corporations using USB flash drives is that of data leakage and theft from these devices. There have been a number of cases ranging from misplaced to stolen or misused flash drives reported which have resulted in losses up to 2.5 Million USD from a single such incident! The losses are a result of conf idential, personal or corporate level data getting leaked and misused. In the light of such occurrences, there is a need to make the USB based flash devices more secure and ‘leak proof.’ Data security can be maintained in USB flash drives using encryption/decryption mechanisms to enable reading/writing to the device only by authenticated personnel.

Security in USB flash drives The two widely used methods for securing USB flash drives are: Software encryption: Encryption keys are stored in the device’s memory and used to encrypt/decrypt the data.

“Stolen or misused flash drives reported which have resulted in losses up to 2.5 Million USD from a single such incident.”

________________________________

Also, ideally a 128-bit AES would require the password to be of 16 characters (8 bits/character) and similarly, the 256-bit AES would require a 32-character password. Creating and remembering a diff icult-to-guess password can make the device user-unfriendly. On the other hand, hardware based random number generators could be used to generate number patterns which would be fed to the AES engine to generate encryption keys. The encryption key is unlocked by the user password and is used by the AES engine for encrypting the data. Evidently, the hardware based methodology is a more secure option. A point worth noting is that both the software and the hardware encryption methodologies require a user password. However, the hardware encryption method is deemed to be more fool-proof since it does not allow a direct access to the encryption keys and the quality of encryption is not determined by the strength of the user password.

Philips Replaces 60W Standard Bulb With 12W LED Alternative With the EnduraLED consumers will now have an LED alternative to the most commonly used incandescent bulb, with 80 percent less energy and 25X the lifetime.

t the Lightfar International tradeshow here, Royal Philips Electronics today unveiled its 12 watt EnduraLED light bulb it claims is the first LED replacement for a 60 watt incandescent light bulb. Shown for the f irst time here, it marks, said Rudy Provoost, CEO of Philips Lighting, an important breakthrough in the use of LED lighting technology in everyday applications. To create the new alterative to the light bulb, Provoost said Philips researchers in The Netherlands created a new remote phosphorous technology and light distribution design, LUXEON LEDs were integrated from Philips Lumileds in San Jose, Ca., and electronics for the bulb were built at Philips Color Kinetics in Burlington, MA and Philips Lighting Electronics in Rosemont, IL. From there, the bulbs were then sent to the Philips Quality Assurance team in Shanghai to be rigorously tested for quality and safety standards. “Consumers will now have an LED alternative to the most commonly used incandescent bulb, which will deliver up to 80% energy savings and last 25 times longer than its century-old predecessor.” The signif icance of developing an LED equivalent to the 60 watt has been recognized by many international organizations, including the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), who created the L-prize competition to spur development of this highly sought after innovation. According to Provoost, Philips’ entry was the f irst, and to date remains the only submission for the L-Prize, which was used as the basis for the 12 watt EnduraLED. Exceeding the Energy Star specif ications for a 60 watt bulb, the EnduraLED uses only 12 watts of power while delivering an industry benchmark of 806 lumens.

If Philips is successful in marketing its new alternative to the incandescent, it has a very good chance of grabbing a lion’s share of the market domestic incandescent light bulbs at least in the U.S. Every year more than 425 million 60-watt incandescent light bulbs are sold in the United States, representing approximately 50% of the domestic incandescent light bulb market. According to calculations by Philips, this LED replacement has the potential to save 32.6 terawatt-hours of electricity in one year, enough to power the lights of 16.7 million U.S. households or 14.4% of the total number of households in the entire US. It would also eliminate the generation 5.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually. The EnduraLED works with standard dimmers, further simplifying use. It has rated life of 25,000 hours, as opposed to a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb which is rated at about 1,000 hours. This means that over the course of the LED life, replacing a 60 watt standard bulb could save a business or household $120 per lamp. It will be available in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2010, well ahead of U.S. legislation requiring the use of more energy eff icient lighting which commences in 2012. The retail price of this EnduraLED has not yet been f inalized.

Pleased to Meet You, Too, C-3PO BY JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH Israel doesn’t have many friends out there – though that’s not why BenGurion University of the Negev will this week announce the world’s first international tournament to build a robot that can shake a human hand.

he announcement will be made Wednesday at the Sixth Computational Motor Control Workshop of the biomedical engineering department of the Beersheba-based university. The competition will be announced by Dr. Amir Karniel, an engineer who is a member of the university staff. “The prize money is not very signif icant – only about $1,000,” Karniel told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. “It is mainly for the honor and for a scientif ic journal article that will be published.” The winner of the competition will be announced at next year’s computational motor control conference in Beersheba. Sixty years ago, Alan Turing, an English mathematician, influenced the

development of computer science and provided a formalization of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. Together, they played a signif icant role in the creation of the modern computer. Turing proposed that the inability of a human interrogator to distinguish between answers provided by a person and those provided by a computer would indicate that the computer could think intelligently. However, the “Turing test” is limited to the linguistic aspects of

NEWS IN REVIEW ISRAEL Thousands of Israeli Yeshiva Students to Lose State Grants

bout 10,000 yeshiva students will lose their grants under a ruling on state aid by Israel's Supreme Court. The court on Monday voted 6-1 that allocating assured income to married yeshiva students is illegal since it does not apply to all students, and ordered the item to be removed from the 2011 state budget. A similar grant for secular higher education students was eliminated from the budget in 2000. About 10,000 students qualify for the grant, which applies to families without other employment and three or more children. The case was in response to a petition filed in 2000 by then-Jerusalem Councilman Arnon Yekutiel, who died nine years ago. Interior Minister Eli Yishai of the religious Shas Party decried the ruling, saying that the Knesset would enact legislation to counter the ruling.

Lieberman: Shalit Visit Required for Blockade Removal

oreign Minister Avidgor Lieberman is on his way home after a visit to New York this week. Lieberman met with Israeli ambassadors and consuls in the U.S. and Canada and with Jewish community officials and groups, discussing the current state of Israel-U.S. relations. Speaking on the blockade of Gaza, Lieberman said that “the minimum condition for removal of the blockade on Gaza would be allowing the Red Cross to visit kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. As long as this is not done, there is no reason to change the situation.”

Abbas Says Two-State Solution ‘Beginning to Erode’

alestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas said Thursday he feared the concept of a two-state solution to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians "is beginning to erode," AFP reported. "I would like to express concern that the situation is very difficult," he was quoted as saying in remarks at a Washington think tank. "The concept of a Palestinian state... with an Israeli state, I fear, is beginning to erode," he said.

MK Hasson to Erdogan: Remember IDF Helped in Earthquake

K Yoel Hasson (Kadima) sent on Wednesday a letter to Turkish Prime Minister Rajab Erdogan, following what he calls "the sending of messages attacking the State of Israel and the IDF in particular." Hasson wrote that "your government and media attack Israeli soldiers and call them 'murderers and terrorists'. These words sting my ears, especially given the fact that several years ago, when you had a terrible tragedy which killed over 40 thousand civilians due to an earthquake, the State of Israel sent its best sons who put their lives on the line in trying to rescue even a single member of the Turkish people." MK Hasson

added that "I myself was sent to Goeljuk – to the Midshipman School of the Turkish army, to direct the rescue operations. It was exciting then to see the warm embrace of the Turkish people and its appreciation of our efforts."

Israel and South Korea Tremendous Potential

Reunion of '100 Children' at Ghetto Fighters' House

special, emotional reunion took place Wednesday at Ghetto Fighters' House Museum in the western Galilee when about 50 Holocaust survivors, half of the "100 children" of educator Lana Kichler, arrived with their families for the first gathering in ten years. Wednesday's meeting marked the 100th anniversary of Kichler's birth. Kichler met the children, who had no families, at the end of World War II at the Jewish Committee House in Cracow. She took them under her wing, educated them, rehabilitated their lives and, after lots of hardships, succeeded in moving to Israel with them. Their story became part of a book and movie called "My Hundred Children". Kichler stayed in touch with "her" children after they struck out on their own until her death in 1987.

German Official Refuses to Meet Minister at His Office

homas Rachel, Germany's deputy Minister of Education and Research, was set to meet with Science and Technology Minister Daniel Hershkowitz Thursday morning – but decided not to go ahead with the meeting when he discovered that Hershkowitz's office was located in an area of Jerusalem liberated after the 1967 Six Day War. Upon hearing of the location of the meeting, Rachel requested a change of venue, saying he would meet Hershkowitz only in an area of west Jerusalem, and not in “occupied territory.” Hershkowitz responded that the meeting could only take place in his office in the Sheikh Jarrah section. Instead, a senior Science Ministry official met with the German guest in a Jerusalem hotel.

Schindler had spent his entire fortune on feeding Jewish employees and bribing Nazi SS troopers not to kill them. He died in anonymity in Germany in 1974 at the age of 66, but his story was made famous by U.S. film director Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Schindler’s List which won seven Oscars.

Train Retraces Auschwitz Death Route

xactly 70 years after German troops packed hundreds of Poles into cattle cars, survivors and relatives have retraced the route of the first rail convoy to Auschwitz. A special memorial train set off on Monday morning from the southern Polish town of Tarnow, retracing the original 140km route to Oswiecim, site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Before embarking, participants paid tribute at a monument unveiled on the platform, inscribed with the names of the 728 prisoners sent from a jail in Tarnow to the camp on June 14, 1940. A total of 1.1 million people perished at Auschwitz-Birkenau during World War II, according to figures from the camp’s memorial museum. One million were Jews from Poland and across Nazi-occupied Europe. The camp is an enduring symbol of the Holocaust. Three hundred men from the first convoy survived the war.

Bloomberg Dodges Park-Cig Ban

anning smoking in parks and beaches appears to be such a hot issue that Mayor Bloomberg decided that it might be best to hand off the issue to his health commissioner. Instead of saying at a press conference whether he supports a ban, the mayor turned to Dr. Tom Farley and said, “Tom, you want to say something?” Farley said, “There’s a lot of options we want to be looking at as far as to reduce the smoking rate, and that’s one we need to look at.” But the mayor still wouldn’t say whether he plans to implement such a ban.

YouTube Pulls "We Con the World" Parody

fter it got over 3 million hits in barely a week, Youtube has removed the Latma parody video, “We Con the World,” a satirical musical portrayal of the true intentions of the Turkish-Hamas 'love boat' captain, crew and passengers. Beginning Friday night, viewers who tried to watch the video at its original link were greeted by a message stating that “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner/ Chappell Music, Inc.” The removal was first discovered by journalist Caroline Glick, who edits the Hebrew language Latma website, which originated the video. According to Youtube, the video violated the copyright of the companies that own the rights to the “We Are the World” video, produced in the 1980s to raise money for hunger in Africa.

Obama to Give PA Another $400 Million

Are You Sure You Want to Drink That Glass of Juice? BY RINA ROZENBERG Fruit drinks may be cheap and slake your thirst in the heat of summer. But don't forget that for at least some of them, the "fruit" in their name is more a description of taste than of the actual ingredients.

ome drink makers even advertise that they "allowed ourselves to play with the taste," as Jump states on its bottles of grapefruit-flavored beverages. Other manufacturers, including Spring, Prigat, Tapuzina and Crystal, also note on their packaging that natural fruit is just one component of their product, be it orange, grape or apple juice. But though fruit extract comprises at least 10% of the drinks, they also contain sugar, citric acid, stabilizers, natural flavorings and aromatic molecules, and sometimes preservatives as well. The difference between fruit drinks, fruit nectars and fruit juice has to do with the concentration of fruit and the presence of other ingredients. Fruit drinks aren't considered real fruit juice, and may contain very little actual fruit - typically, between 10% and 25%. In addition to fruit extract, they contain sugars, various acids including citric acid, stabilizers, natural flavorings and aromatic molecules, and sometimes preservatives. They may also have added vitamin C. In fruit nectars, water, sugar, acids and flavorings are added to some form of fruit juice. The concentration of fruit ranges between 25% and 50%. In fruit juice made from the concentrated extract of fruit, only water is added, to reconstitute the juice. Nothing is added to 100% fruit juice that is not made from concentrate. But how healthy are these beverages, even the ones with higher fruit components? How should you choose between the many fruit juices, nectars and drinks lining supermarket shelves? If price is the only consideration, there's no question: Fruit drinks are the best buy. Cheaper than juices with high concentrations of fruit, they make up 20% of the uncarbonated beverage market. The differences in price can reach hundreds of percent. Natural squeezed juice made from 100% fruit costs between $2.5 and $4.5 per liter, while a fruit drink cost between $1 and $2.5 per liter. Nectars cost between $2 and $2.5 per liter. Juices made from concentrate sell for almost as much as freshly squeezed juices: about $2.59 per liter, though they sometimes go for as much as $5. But of course, price isn't the only criterion when we shop for juice. As the weather gets hotter, beverage sales rise. Nielsen figures show that 5 million liters more uncarbonated beverages - a total of 31 million liters - were sold between March and May this year than between last December and this February. Before you rush out to pick up the first drinks that come to hand, brush up on the facts. 1-In general, the further the beverage gets from the natural fruit, the less nutritious it is. The best way to get the most from fruit is to squeeze it yourself at home. It's best to drink juice as soon as possible after it was squeezed, since the vitamins lose their qualities over time. "Even if the orange is squeezed at the company and nothing, no sugar, is added, but it is pasteurized, the nutritive value of the fruit is diminished," says Michal Sukman, a clinical dietitian with the Maccabi health maintenance organization. "If the juice is made from concentrate, its nutritive value drops even more." At least the more natural forms of commercial juice doesnâ€™t contain preservatives, she adds. Preservatives can cause irritable bowel syndrome or headaches for some people. 2-Fruit drinks, fruit nectars and fruit juices have the same amount of sugar, even

though in some of the beverages the sugar comes from fruit, in the form of fructose, and in some the sugar has been added in. All have about 40 calories and 10 grams of carbohydrates per 100 milliliters of juice. If we assume that a normal glass of juice contains at least 200 milliliters, then each glass of juice is delivering 20 grams of carbohydrates, which means between four and six teaspoons of sugar. 3-Not only is the sugar levels the same, but fructose and industrial sugar have exactly the same (negative) effect on your blood sugar levels. "Both are relatively simple sugars," says Sukman, by which she means they are simple molecules. Both have the same effect. If you consume them, for instance by drinking juice, your blood sugar levels skyrocket. Eating fruit can also lead to sugar spikes, but at least real fruit comes packed with other nutritional benefits as well. Even so, experts counsel that fruit should be eaten with moderation. Treat all fruit beverages like candy, advises Sukman. 4-Is that real juice, or reconstituted concentrate? Look closely. Fruit concentrate is made by getting rid of the water found in the natural juice, which reduces by at least 50% in volume. When it's time to turn into juice, the concentrate is simply diluted with water. Why would anybody want to do that? Storage, that's why. People want to buy juice all year round, but not all fruit is in season all year. The manufacturers squeeze the fruit when it's in season and store the juice as concentrate, explains food engineer Hannah Shalev of the foodstuffs processing inspection company Lab-Path. What about the nutritive value of the fruit? Some of that is lost in the concentration process, but not all, says Shalev. The process is not done at a high temperature, so the vitamins are not destroyed. 5-Added vitamin C is no reason to buy a product. However, if you choose to buy fruit drinks, do buy the ones with the most vitamin C. "It is important that vitamins are added to drinks," says Sukman. "But you have to consider that the amount of sugar in the drink causes the body to pay a heavy price, in the processing." Processing the sugar burns up a lot of vitamins and minerals, including B-group vitamins that are crucial to a host of bodily functions, including the nervous system and memory, and magnesium, which is needed for the proper functioning of the heart, the nervous system and muscles. 6-Concentrates in which the consumer adds the water at home are best because you can control the sugar intake. For children and adults who want something a bit sweeter, Sukman advises adding fruit concentrate at home. Don't drink fruit juice, she says; eat fruit instead. You'll feel a sense of satiety that no amount of drink will bring, and you get the full value of the fruit: vitamins, fibers, minerals, the works. So go ahead, eat that orange. Just don't drink three of them.

Grocery Goldmine BY JAMIE GELLER An interview with John Litras, manager of the grocery department at Supersol

Q A

: What’s kosher nowadays that wasn’t before? : Now they have just about everything kosher! About five or six years ago, the Asian foods took off. Italian companies became kosher, too, particularly their specialty pasta sauces. Their research showed there’s a market for these items among kosher consumers. : Do these specialty items—like ethnic food ingredients—sell well? : It depends on what locale you’re in. In some places, they do extremely well and in others they sit on the shelf. You have to know your clientele. Every community seems to have its brand preferences, too. In

Q A

some neighborhoods, only the Jewish companies will sell; in others, the big name brands do better. : What’s one of the most expensive specialty items sold at Supersol? : Pomegranate juice! I can tell when a new recipe has been printed in Jewish newspapers and calls for an unusual ingredient, like pomegranate juice—suddenly I have 150 people coming in here asking, “Do you have any pomegranate juice?” Then the item becomes a staple in the store. : What specialty foods are most requested? : Asian items with name brands that have good kosher certifications are the most popular. : Are Jewish brands more expensive than name brands? : Not necessarily. Big name brands are usually more expensive and sometimes don’t sell as well because a lot of them are dairy.

No Nukes for Iran Calls for No Business With Iran Danielle Flaum, a junior at Millburn high school recently stepped up onto the world stage when she started a grass roots group called ‘No Nukes For Iran.’ In one of the group’s first appearances they marched near the front of the Salute to Israel Parade and many of the politicians noticeably wore their buttons on their lapels.

t a recent Press conference she said that “History teaches us that for social change to occur, the youth must stand up and lead. “I have tried to live by these words this year. Our group, No Nukes for Iran, a group of teens from Short Hills, NJ, created a “face” for this issue, a logo that is displayed on banners, on magnets and on buttons that is now being displayed in over 25 states and numerous college campuses.” The group has enlisted the help, of national and local agencies, religious organizations and youth groups they also have launched a national campaign, determined to protect the very nature of world peace.

Genetics and Autism: No Simple Answer Recent research indicates that about 1 in 100 children within the United States suffer from autism, a not insignificant number. Given the prevalence of the disorder, research has been wide and varied, trying to pinpoint causes, factors that make the condition worse, diets that may contribute to or help control autistic behavior. The most recent study, done by the international collaboration known as the Autism Genome Project, focused on genetics and found there is no simple answer, no one gene that is responsible.

arlier studies pointed to the fact that autism was a genetic disorder in which genes are disrupted to produce the behavioral mutations. Research conducted on 100 families with a significant rate of autism led to the identification of six new genes that contribute to the disorder. The study, published in the July 2008 issue of the journal Science, substantiated the fact that autism is not just a single simple disorder, but can be caused by a range of factors, both genetic and environmental. The study changed previous thinking that a handful of genetic mutations caused most autism cases; researchers are now working on the assumption that most cases have unique causes. Some of the mutations aren't in the coding genes that control the action of proteins in the brain, but are in the genes that regulate other genes and have a more limited influence, suggesting that the disorder can be treated in some cases. This latest study, funded by Autism Speaks and the National Institutes of Health. confirms this theory, with co-author Stephen Scherer saying that "most individuals with autism are probably genetically quite unique." The study compared the DNA of 996 children with autism against a group of 1,296 children who don't have the disorder. Researchers focused on a type of genetic change called "copy number variations"

(CNVs), places where DNA is either missing chunks or has extra copies of sequences in and around genes. The scientists identified rare genetic variations that were 20% more frequent in children with autism than in children without the disorder. These CNVs occur in less than one in 100 people in the general population. Some of the CNVs were inherited while others were found in children but not in their parents. This brings researchers a step closer to identifying autism as a purely genetic disorder, and not one affected by childhood vaccines. Autism is a congenital mental disorder, which is estimated to affect one of 150 births in the United Sates. It is among a group of disorders, including Asperger syndrome, which are classified as the ASD (autism spectrum disorders). Autism affects the social and communication development of children and is usually apparent before the age of two. It may cause restrictive and repetitive behavior, disruptive to the child's caretakers, and possibly dangerous to the child itself. While autism can occur at all IQ levels, there is a higher incidence of mental retardation among autistic children, and 20 to 30 percent may have seizures. Some autism sufferers are savants, with an area in which they excel such as music, baseball statistics, or some other specific interest.

Health Care Will Likely Cost More by Next Year Companies that offer employee health insurance expect another steep jump in medical costs next year, and more will ask workers to share a bigger chunk of the expense, according to a new PricewaterhouseCoopers report.

or the first time, most of the American workforce is expected to have health insurance deductibles of $400 or more, the consulting firm said in a report. Deductibles are the annual amount a patient pays out of pocket for care before insurance coverage starts. They are generally separate from co-payments and coinsurance. Two years ago, only 25 percent of companies participating in the annual survey said they asked employees to pay deductibles of $400 or more. That grew to 43 percent in 2010 and is expected to pass 50 percent next year. Employees who are asked to pay more through things like higher deductibles help keep cost growth in check because they use less health care. The health care reform law passed by Congress and then signed by President Obama in March has just started to unfold and will have little impact on costs next year, said Michael Thompson, a principal with PricewaterhouseCoopers. “In general, it’s a continuation of a fairly high rate of medical inflation,’’ he said. PricewaterhouseCoopers found that medical costs are expected to rise 9 percent next year. But this doesn’t mean workers will see their monthly premiums jump by the same amount.

Employers typically try to soften the impact of a cost increase by absorbing some of it, changing insurance plan designs or asking employees to pay higher deductibles or a larger coinsurance percentage. For instance, a medical cost increase of more than 9 percent was forecast for 2009. But the average annual premium rose only 5 percent for family coverage that year and stayed flat for single coverage, according to a separate study from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The 9 percent medical cost increase projected in 2011 is actually slightly smaller than the 9.5 percent jump PricewaterhouseCoopers is seeing this year. Thompson said several top-selling drugs will lose patent protection next year and become exposed to lower-cost generic competition. That will help temper the increase. The PricewaterhouseCoopers report also found a steep drop in the percentage of employers that subsidize retiree health coverage. It said only 22 percent of employers with more than 5,000 workers subsidized retiree coverage after age 65 this year. That’s down from 37 percent in 2009. “It’s a major cost and one that employers have for years now been moving away from,’’ Thompson said. PricewaterhouseCoopers compiled its report by analyzing e-mail survey results from 674 companies in 30 different industries across the country. Most of the companies participating had 1,000 employees or more. The firm also interviewed health plan executives and reviewed analyst reports.

Long-Term Exercise Can Slow the Effects of Aging It’s no secret that being a couch potato can lead to ill effects on your health. Scientists have long known that regular exercise can go a long way in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. However, a group of German researchers have discovered that the secret to maintaining youth may also be connected to physical activity, and that the key to slowing the aging process may be revealed by looking at the body’s cells. The report was recently published in the journal of the American Heart Association, Circulation.

r. Ulrich Laufs, a professor of clinical and experimental medicine in the department of internal medicine at Saarland University in Homburg, Germany, and colleagues, found that the white blood cells of endurance athletes had longer telomeres than those of healthy, nonsmoking adults who did not follow a regular exercise program. Telomeres are DNA located at the ends of chromosomes that protect the tips of the chromosomes from damage. According to Emmanuel Skordalakes, an assistant professor of gene expression and regulation at The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, telomeres work in much the same way that shoelace tips prevent fraying of the laces. Skordalakes explained that as cells continue to divide over the life span, the telomere is shortened with each division until it becomes so short that the cells cease dividing. This causes aging, leading to loss of muscle strength and skin elasticity, as well as hearing ability, vision, and mental abilities. During their analysis, the researchers compared the length of the white blood cell telomeres of endurance athletes to those of healthy nonsmokers of the same age who exercised less than one hour weekly. One group of athletes who participated in the study were members of the German National track and field team, who ran more than 45 miles weekly, and had an average age of 20.

A second group of participating athletes with an average age of 51 had taken part in endurance exercise by having run an average of about 50 miles weekly since youth. The athletes were found to have better cardiovascular health as indicated by a slower resting heart rate, lower blood pressure, a lower body mass index, and lower cholesterol than the non-athletes. In addition, the athletes had longer telomeres, and increased activity of telomerase, an enzyme that maintains the telomere. The findings support previous research on telomere length in twins that found on average that exercise makes cells nine years younger, and indicated that the greater your activity, the greater your benefit. In addition to human subjects, the researchers also used mice to analyze the impact of physical activity on proteins associated with heart disease and cancer. Results showed that mice given access to a running wheel for three weeks experienced increased activity of both tumor-suppressing proteins, and proteins linked to telomere length. Regarding the study findings, Dr. Laufs said in a statement, “This is direct evidence of an anti-aging effect of physical exercise.” In the study report, he and his colleagues concluded, “Our data improve the molecular understanding of the vasculoprotective effects of exercise and underline the potency of physical training in reducing the impact of age-related diseases.”

New York Passes Landmark Health Insurance Rate Review Law New York Governor David Paterson, last week, signed into law legislation granting the state authority to review and approve health insurance premiums before they take effect, and increasing medical loss ratio percentages, with which insurers in the state must comply. New York is the first state to take such a bold step to help consumers and potentially block huge increases in health insurance rate premiums.

“I

applaud New York on its bold move to hold insurance companies accountable and prevent the kind of unreasonable rate increases that have made health insurance unaffordable for many American families. This is the kind of action that, together with the Affordable Care Act, is shifting power back to consumers,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. In early May, Secretary Sebelius sent a letter to governors and state insurance commissioners urging them to review the authority they have under their state laws to determine whether they have all of the regulatory tools needed to approve health insurance rates before they take effect. New York took swift action and crafted legislation that will affect 3 million people enrolled in small-employer or individually purchased plans. It will require that insurance companies apply to the state Insurance Department before raising premiums. The state will then have 60 days to review and

determine whether the rates are justified. The law also adjusts the medical loss ratio, requiring insurers to spend 82 percent of premiums on medical care, up from 75 percent for small-business policies and 80 percent for individual ones. ___________________________________

“...hold insurance companies accountable and prevent the kind of unreasonable rate increases...”

___________________________________ According to The New York Times: New York has the highest average premiums for individually bought policies — $6,630 for single people and $13,296 for families in 2009, more than double the national average, according to industry figures. Several provisions in the Affordable Care Act strengthen HHS’ and states’ oversight of insurance premiums and rate hikes, including grants for states to help create or strengthen reporting and review processes. On Monday, HHS announced the availability of $51 million in Health Insurance Premium Review Grants under the Affordable Care Act. These monies will fund the first round of grants available to states through a new $250 million grant program to create and strengthen insurance rate review processes.

Barak Obama Unmasked

A review of "The Manchurian President" Barack Obama's ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists Book by; Aaron Klein, with Brenda J. Elliott REVIEW BY FERN SIDMAN American journalist, author and radio host, Aaron Klein, along with historian and researcher, Brenda J. Elliott blow the lid off the dome of silence surrounding the Obama administration as they boldly unmask the nation's 44th president in their latest chilling monograph entitled. "The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other AntiAmerican Extremists" (WND Books May 2010). Providing close to 900 footnotes and countless pages of documentation they reveal surreptitious ties to radical leftists of all stripes.

f the title of this book sounds at all familiar, it is a takeoff on the 1959 political thriller novel by Robert Condon called "The Manchurian Candidate" in which the son of a prominent US political family has been brainwashed into being an unwitting assassin for the Communist party. While Klein does not infer that President Obama is part of a Communist sleeper cell, he does present an exhaustive investigation into President Obama's background and his radical ties to pivotal f igures in the Communist movement, both inside the White House and out who also happen to be major players in crafting legislation, including the economic stimulus package. This weighty tome weaves a complex spider's web of a narrative that is replete with a plethora of names and organizations of radical leftists, hitherto unknown by the public, who helped shape Obama's ideology and career. Starting with Obama's childhood affiliation as a Sunday school attendee at the First Unitarian in Honolulu, a radical activist church that not only served as sanctuary for draft dodgers in the 1960s and 70s but had strong links to the even more radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Klein embellishes on the movement that gave birth to the underground terrorist offshoot called Weatherman. It was through this organization that Obama liaison Bill Ayers achieved fame as a Pentagon bomber-conspirator and a notorious leftist student agitator. Ayers summed up the Weatherman ideology which he referred to as "an American Red Army" by saying, "Kill all the rich people. Break up their

cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents." Klein informs us that Obama worked directly with Ayers in Chicago back in 1988, after Ayers resurfaced from his underground status amid multiple criminal charges related to his extremist activities. The charges were dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct. The two were introduced by Gerald "Jerry" Kellman, a Marxist acolyte of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, and thus, a professional association was forged as Obama served with the Ayers' run community advocacy coalition called the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools, or ABC. When Obama launched his political career in 1995, the venue for his first fundraiser was the Chicago apartment of Bill Ayers and the two served alongside each other from 1995 to 2000 on a $100 million education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge or CAC. _________________________________

â€œKlein ... present an exhaustive investigation into President Obama's background and his radical ties to pivotal figures in the Communist movementâ€? _________________________________ Says Klein, "To underscore Ayers' radical mentality in 1995, while he worked closely with Obama, the unrepentant terrorist gave an interview in that year for author Ron Chepesiuk's book Sixties Radicals, in which Ayers stated, "I'm a radical, leftist, small 'c' communist." Following the guidelines of Alinskylike tactics of working within the system to overthrow the capitalist structure of American government, Klein speaks of Obama's direct links to the CAC's role in "disbursing money through various farleft community organizers, such as ACORN." Such Socialist led organizations and unions like Project VOTE!, the SEIU (Service Employees International Union), the AFL-CIO (the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations), AFSCME (American Federation of State and

County Municipal Employees) and the Apollo Alliance are also directly linked to ACORN and Obama cronies with "questionable" ties. Quoting from a 2001 book by Jarol B. Manheim, "The Death of a Thousand Cuts: Corporate Campaigns and the Attack on the Corporation", Klein says that "by 1986, ACORN had forged institutional ties with AFL-CIO Central Labor Councils in at least 30 cities" and that ACORN's "People's Platform" included such radical reformist objectives as "free medical care, a public defender system, the elimination of the state income tax for low income people and higher welfare benefits." Obama's associations with the Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and black political extremists are also revealed in nuanced detail, as Klein sheds light on the fact that Obama attended the million man march organized by Nation of Islam leader and rabid Jew hater, Louis Farrakhan. For over 20 years Obama attended the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Farrakhan gave guest lectures at the behest of antiAmerican extremist preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Klein also uncovers the fact that the Nation of Islam was on Obama's payroll in the early days of his political career and that his senior advisor, David Axelrod also maintained ties to radical Islam through his association as a board member of St. Sabena's Church in Chicago which served as a haven for black nationalists of the Nation of Islam variety. The backgrounds of other key Obama advisors and "Czars" such as Valerie Jarrett, Van Jones, Andy Stern, Cass Sunstein and John Holdren are also carefully scrutinized by Klein as well as their political leanings and the influence they wield in this current administration. Ghastly epiphanies proliferate, as Klein documents the fact that Communist Party member, Frank Marshall Davis who would become a mentor to the young Barack Obama in Hawaii worked closely with Vernon Jarrett, Valerie Jarrett's father-in-law in at least three communist dominated organizations in Chicago in the late 1940s. Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, who resigned his post in September of 2009, was forced out of his job by allegations of association with a Marxist group during the 1990s. Having been arrested several times during the 90s for political activism, Jones was quoted in

a November 2005 interview with the East Bay Express as saying that while in jail, ""I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" "The Manchurian President" also exposes how Obama's health-care policy, masked by moderate populist rhetoric, was pushed along and partially crafted by extremists. Some of them reveal in their own words that their principal aim is to achieve corporate socialist goals and a vast increase in government powers. Klein was recently quoted on FOX news as saying, "It is clear that Barack Obama has ties to an anti-American fringe nexus that was instrumental in building his political career from the beginning all the way through now." He adds that, "I believe this work is crucial to Americans from across the political spectrum, including mainstream Democrats who should be alarmed that their party has been hijacked by an extreme-left bent on permanently changing the party to fits its radical agenda." This meticulously documented piece of outstanding investigative research is a must read for all good citizens of this great country who are concerned with the future of our cherished freedoms and values.

IT WORKS FOR US TOO! BY RABBI LABEL LAM For there is no evil spell with Yaakov, neither is there any magic with Israel: In due time it shall be said to Yaakov and to Israel: “What has G- d wrought!?” (Bamidbar 23:23)

ow do we make sense of this prophetic description of the Jewish People by Bilaam? What does the first part of the verse have to do with the second part? It seems rather cryptic at best and disjointed at worst. How can we understand the flow of ideas in a meaningful way? The Dubno Maggid asked this very question and not surprisingly offered a parable to explain: A nobleman heard that in a far off country a man had invented a powerfully effective cream.

Whoever would apply this substance to their body would be rendered invulnerable. Since this nobleman, in order to carry on his business, had to travel through dark and dangerous forests and lonely places where he would be an easy target for robbers he gladly underwent the great effort and expense of traveling to the inventor and procuring the potent potion. Now each time he was readying himself to leave home and go out onto his dangerous ways, he would liberally cover his entire body with the expensive ointment to insure that he would be safe. One time on his way back home he was traveling through a particularly dark and deserted place and suddenly he was attacked by a gang of violent highwaymen. They tried with all their might or beat or harm the nobleman in

Haftorah Haftorah Chukas Judges: 11 1:33

n the year 2779 Yiftach HaGiladi became Judge - Shofet. Yiftach is described as a gifted warrior who was seemingly unworthy of becoming the Shofet. His brothers had cast out Yiftach because he was the son of a concubine. While away from his family Yiftach gathered around himself an army of outlaws. Due to the oppression and tyranny of Ammon, Yiftach was asked by the elders of Gilad to return to the family and lead them against the forces of Ammon. Yiftach was victorious and remained Shofet for six years. There are a number of reason why the story of Yiftach was selected to complement Parshas Chukas. First of all the issue of leadership. The Talmud tell us that "Yiftach in his generation was like Samuel in his generation." Although Yiftach was not the greatest scholar, he nevertheless was the recognized

leader and a prophet. As such he was accorded the absolute support of the Halacha and the people. This support can at times appear as dogmatic as the law of the Red Heifer. However, our absolute support for our acknowledged Torah leadership is the foundation of our legal system and the transmission of Torah from generation to generation. The second reason has to do with the battle with Sichon. Sichon was king of the Ammonites who had taken possession of lands once belonging to Moab. Sichon refused to allow the Bnai Yisroel to pass through his lands and went to war against them. Sichon was destroyed and his lands were forfeited to the Bnai Yisroel. In our Haftorah, the king of Ammon, as cousins to the Moabites, claimed legal ownership to the lands which Moshe had taken from Sichon, who had taken them from Moab.

. Carnage by wild beasts comes to the world for false oaths and the desecration of G-d's name. Exile comes to the world for idol-worship, sexual promiscuity, murder and the failure to leave the land fallow on the sabbatical year. There are four time-periods when plagues increase: on the fourth and seventh years [of the sabbatical cycle], on the year following the seventh, and following the festivals of each year. On the fourth year, because of [the neglect of] the tithe to the poor that must be given on the third year; on the seventh, because of the tithe to the poor that must be given on the sixth; on the year after the seventh, because of the produce of the sabbatical year; and following each festival, because of the robbing of the poor of the gifts due to them. . There are four types of people: One who says, "What is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine" is a boor. One who says "What is mine is mine, and what is yours is yours" -- this is a median characteristic; others say that this is the character of a Sodomite. One who says, "What is mine is yours, and what is yours is yours" is a chassid (pious person). And one who says "What is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine" is wicked. . There are four types of temperaments. One who is easily angered and easily appeased--his virtue cancels his flaw. One whom it is difficult to anger and difficult to appease--his flaw cancels his virtue. One whom it is difficult to anger and is easily appeased, is a chassid.

One who is easily angered and is difficult to appease, is wicked. . There are four types of student. One who is quick to understand and quick to forget--his flaw cancels his virtue. One who is slow to understand and slow to forget--his virtue cancels his flaw. One who is quick to understand and slow to forget--his is a good portion. One who is slow to understand and quick to forget--his is a bad portion. . There are four types of contributors to charity. One who wants to give but does not want others to give--is begrudging of others. One who wants that others should give but does not want to give--begrudges himself. One who wants that he as well as others should give, is a chassid. One who want neither himself nor others to give, is wicked. . There are four types among those who attend the study hall. One who goes but does nothing--has gained the rewards of going. One who does [study] but does not go to the study hall--has gained the rewards of doing. One who goes and does, is a chassid. One who neither goes nor does, is wicked. . There are four types among those who sit before the sages: the sponge, the funnel, the strainer and the sieve. The sponge absorbs all. The funnel takes in at one end and lets it out the other. The strainer rejects the wine and retains the sediment. The sieve rejects the coarse flour and retains the fine flour.

whichever way they could but they were only met with increasing frustration. He remained unhurt by all their many efforts. Thinking that he must be exercising some sort form of magic they became scared and so they fled in terror. We can only imagine their surprise when the intended victim called them back and invited them to drink some brandy. At f irst they were very suspicious and cautious. They looked at him with distrust and they asked why he would be so kind to them after they had just tried to kill him and rob him. The nobleman replied, “I am really grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to prove something that I could not have been certain of otherwise. I have just gone through the great trouble and expense to secure a miraculous ointment which I was told

would make me immune from any physical attack. I was never quite sure whether or not I was being cheated. I never would have been courageous enough to f ind out through my own deliberate action whether or not it was truly effective but now, through your vain efforts, I have been convinced that my investment was a certainly worthwhile. The special ointment really works!” The Jewish People like that nobleman had always lived with the assumption they were immune to magic and evil spells as the verse says, “For there is no evil spell with Yaakov, neither is their magic with Israel…” Yaakov Avinu had dodged and avoided for twenty years the constant concoction of evil

But after 2 months, only 3 Samurai applied for the job, a Japanese, a Chinese, and Morris. So he interviewed all three. The emperor first asked the Japanese to demonstrate why he should be his chief Samurai. The Japanese opened a little silver box and out flew a little fly. Whoosh went his sword and the fly dropped dead in two pieces. The emperor was impressed. The emperor then asked the Chinese to demonstrate why he should be his chief Samurai. The Chinese opened a small pearl box and out flew a smaller fly. Whoosh, whoosh went his sword and the fly dropped dead in four pieces. The emperor was very impressed. Then the emperor asked Morris to demonstrate why he should be his chief Samurai. Morris opened a small gold box and out flew a wasp. Whoooooossshhh, whoooooossshhh, whooooooossshhh, whoooooossshhh, whoooooossshhh went Morris's sword, but the wasp was still alive and buzzing around the emperor. The emperor was very disappointed and asked Morris, "After all your sword play, why is the wasp not dead?" Morris replied, "A circumcision is never intended to kill."

Artie Show, the famous bandleader who married Lana Turner and other Hollywood stars was Jewish. His parents were Russian Jews. Arthur Schnitzler, the Austrain playwright also was Jewish.

Y Times did a strong anti-Israel-pro Hamas editorial. ABC radio took a stand against it. AM Jewish Committee honored Tom Murry, head of Calvin Klein, at the Hilton. Most critics didn't like "Sex & the City 2" but it made over $32,000,000 at the box office the first weekend.

Jewelry Jive Harold Thompson, who has been divorced twice and lives in Wilmington, N.C., is a founder of the D Jewelry Company, which sells divorce rings online. Its tag line: "Building self-esteem one person at a time." His rings resemble traditional wedding bands except for a gap in the center, selling for $200 to $500. They have a "dual purpose," according to the company's Web site, not only as "attractive jewelry," but also as "a healing tool for broken hearts."

Never married? No worries. The Ah Ring, which stands for "available and happy," is meant to be worn on the pinky. The ring's meaning is hard to discern, because it looks like a silver band sprinkled with diamonds. The Web site that sells it, apparently not wanting to ward off any potential customers, says that while the Ah ring was "originally created for confident and joyful single women," others can wear it because the "Ah" can also stand for "attached and happy." The resale market for used engagement and wedding rings is booming, with popular online auction Web sites like IDoNowIDont.com, which Josh Opperman helped found after his fiancee broke off their engagement, and ExBoyfreind.Jewlry.com (tag line: "You don't want it. He can't have it back.")

Warner's "Sex and the City's production, shot inside Bergdorf's, a rare occurrence, as the store only allows filming for something extraordinary, like Barbra Streisand's 1965 TV special "My Name is Barbra." The "Sex and the City" series had shot in the china department years before, and Sarah Jessica Parker proved especially helpful in securing the store's agreement a second time. Sarah Jessica can cut through the red tape like no one else can. They agreed to close down parts of the store on different days, partially interrupting their flow of business." Though it was a logistical challenge, overcoming the obstacles was worth it to the filmmakers as the Bergdorf's scene was critical to the store: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda meet at the upscale venue with a very special purpose in mind, to find a perfect wedding gift for friends.

On Aging A survey of almost 3,000 adults by the Pew Research Center with the average age considered "old" by respondents 68; - there were real differences in perception driven by the respondents' own ages: More than half of those under 30 say the average person becomes old before 60. Middle-aged respondents say it's closer to 70. Those ages 65 and older say "old" is not until 75. "What you find is the older people are, the more people push back the age that is old," says Russell Ward, a sociologist who focuses on aging at the University of Albany, State University of New York, and who was not involved in the survey. "It's more in your future. You're not there yet." Frederick Augustyn Jr. of Greenbelt, Md., who heads the Aging and Senior culture area of the Popular Culture Association, says Baby Boomers fuel such resistance because they grew up as a youth culture and don't want to get old. Stats & Market Sales for diamond engagement rings, represent one third of the diamond business. Women still perceive diamonds as love/security and long term value.

Russia Says in Talks With Iran on New Nuclear Plants... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 the UN resolution does not apply to airdefense systems, with the exception of mobile missiles. The report citing an unidentified source in Russia's arms industry contradicted Russian officials and others who have said the sanctions approved on Wednesday with Moscow's support would not affect the airdefense missile deal. "The UN Security Council decision is binding for all countries and Russia is no exception," Interfax cited the source as saying. "Naturally, the contract to deliver S-300 missile systems will be frozen."

Russia has used its unfulfilled deal to provide Iran with S-300 missiles as a lever in its delicate diplomacy with Tehran and Western powers seeking to rein in Iran's nuclear activity, which they say is aimed at acquiring atomic weapons. Israel and the United States have asked Russia not to deliver the missile systems, which can shoot down several aircraft or missiles simultaneously and could potentially be used to protect nuclear facilities. Western diplomats in Moscow believe Russia is eager to keep the deal in reserve as a bargaining chip. Iran has expressed

increasing frustration over the unfulfilled contract. Russia's move toward support for the new sanctions against Iran has been accompanied by repeated assurances that the measures would not affect the S-300 deal. In Washington, Republican U.S. Senator Jon Kyl criticized the UN sanctions resolution for excluding the S-300 deal and Russia's construction of Iran's first nuclear power plant near Bushehr. Russia has close ties with Iran and has worked with China, also a veto-wielding UN Security Council member, to water down

Western-backed sanctions resolutions against Tehran, including the latest one. But Moscow has been increasingly critical of Tehran's rejection of a proposal to ease concerns about the purpose of its nuclear program by having uranium shipped to Russia for enrichment. U.S. President Barack Obama has courted Russian support for the new sanctions, and administration officials have pointed to Moscow's backing as a positive result of a "reset" aimed to improve long-strained ties. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Russia not to side with "Iran's enemies" by supporting the sanctions.

We want to understand the human handshake. There may even be medical uses,

such as shaking hands with a person with cerebral palsy to judge the amount of disability.” Applicants should present an initial idea to Karniel by the end of August at akarniel@bgu.ac.il by submitting their name, aff iliation, e-mail address, research f ield, title of the proposed handshake, and a few words about the main idea of their proposed algorithm.

Karniel said the ultimate test must also involve motor intelligence, encouraging the design and construction of a humanoid robot with abilities indistinguishable from those of a human. “The handshake is of interest not merely as a reduced version of the ultimate humanoid test, but also due to its bidirectional nature, in which both sides

actively shake hands and explore each other,” he explained. “Moreover, motor control research has concentrated on hand movements, generating a variety of hypotheses regarding the humanoid handshake. Last but not least, the greatest progress in telerobotics technologies involves arm movements.” The entries for the competition could

One of the participants, a young man with very long, blonde hair, told Rabbi Lefkovitz that his grandfather lived in the hareidineighborhood of Meah She’arim; Rabbi Lefkovitz gave him a knowing look, and blessed him that his family should follow

along with his desire to be religious. The man took this as an omen that his wife, who is not yet enthusiastic about leading a religious lifestyle, should soon “come around." After an hour or so of personal blessings from Rabbi Lefkovitz, singing, and distribution of the tefillin, the proud Jews walked nearby to the famed Ponovezh Yeshiva. There, before the Yeshiva's world-famous,

magnificent Holy Ark, they placed their own tefillin on their arms and heads for the first time. One of the first-timers was a 70-year-old who just made Aliyah to Israel less than a month ago. Rabbi Raanan, of Ayelet HaShachar has also arranged multiple First-Born Redemption (Pidyon HaBen) ceremonies in

irreligious locales. Asked what other projects are upcoming for his organization, Rabbi Raanan said, “This coming Thursday we will be having dedication ceremonies for firsttime synagogues in secular towns: One in Ram-On, in the Ta’anach bloc south of Afula, straddling the Green Line in the northern Shomron, and the other in Kibbutz Rosh HaNikra, which has never had a synagogue in its more than 60 years of existence.”

It Works for Us Too!.. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 35 spells launched at him by Lavan. He remained unharmed. Now Bilaam took up the cause of cursing the Jewish People but he was woefully unsuccessful. He ended up blessing us instead. That is the moment of “in due time” the verse refers to. At the moment when the Jewish People became aware of the validity of the ancient promise of Divine Providence through the thwarted

attempts of would-be attackers like Bilaam they then declared with renewed conf idence, “What has G-d wrought?!” Hey it works for us too! We should not be surprised then by what Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian author, had observed about the Jewish People, “The Jew is the emblem of eternity. He whom neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of years could destroy,

he whom neither f ire nor the sword of inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth, he who was the f irst to produce the oracles of G-d, he who has be for so long the guardian of prophecy, and who transmitted it to the rest of the world- such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as eternity itself.” Now those words were penned by Leo Tolstoy in 1891. Since then many

more diabolical threats against the Jewish People have been and are still being attempted. So armed with that awareness we too are compelled to declare with both alarm and amazement, “What has G-d wrought!?” Hey it works for us too! DvarTorah, Copyright © 2007 by Rabbi Label Lam and Torah.org.

sale shouldn’t have happened because of the factional dispute, according to hearing transcript. But he concluded that under state law, the transfer of the property for a fair price was still valid. The faction opposing the sale is appealing and asking the court to return the deed to the congregation. David M. Doré, the grandson of Rabbi Wentworth Arthur Matthew, who founded the congregation in 1919, said in an interview he wasn’t interested in the money, but wanted to get the synagogue building back. Oral arguments on a legal challenge to the original sale of the synagogue were heard in a State Appellate Court in Manhattan on June 1, about a week after Mr. Pinckney closed on the purchase. An attorney representing the faction that sold the church said the transfer was valid. In 2007, the developer f iled plans to convert the building into apartments. But after the housing market turned, it was listed on the market last year with Scott Edelstein at Marcus & Millichap and it was purchased by Messrs. Pinckney and Fenton.

Mr. Pinckney, the author of “High Cotton,” a novel about growing up in a black privileged background in the Midwest, says he plans on restoring the synagogue to the “original one-family dwelling,” and perhaps use the space as a salon for cultural events. His plans, being developed by Samuel G. White of Platt Byard Dovell White, call for book cases holding 10,000 books that he and Mr. Fenton plan to bring with them to New York, after 22 years living abroad. Mr. Fenton is now putting a farm house he restored near Oxford, England, on the market. “It is for me a rather resonant and historical landscape,” Mr. Pinckney said. “I f ind it moving to plan my old age here.” Mr. Pinckney’s lawyer, Pierre E. Debbas, said he thought the legal challenge would be turned aside by the courts. But just the same, he said, the purchase of the property would be protected by title insurance, including insurance issued to the developer when the synagogue was f irst sold.

Harlem Black Synagogue Dispute Snags Buyers... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 spiritual center of what is considered to be the oldest African-American synagogue in America, a group of mostly black congregants who trace their origins to the ancient Israelites, and who have moved closer to traditional Judaism over the years. The group is not considered Jewish by any Jewish denomination. The legal battle over the property stems from the move in 2007 by one faction of the congregation, which claimed to represent the last nine members of the group, to sell the property to a developer. Another faction that said it represented members who hadn’t been consulted about the sale wanted the building back. That dispute is still working its way through the courts, with those opposed to the sale saying the deed should be returned to the synagogue. Over the years, Mr. Pinckney’s new home has also been a target for small demonstrations, sidewalks religious services on major Jewish holidays, and religious graff iti on the boarded-up entrance. Mr. Pinckney hasn’t been directly sued in the case.

The 19th century neo-Renaissancestyle building was once home to a prominent early resident of Harlem— John Dwight, a founder of Church & Dwight Co., the makers of Arm & Hammer bicarbonate of soda, who died in 1903. In 1962 the unusually large house— 10,000 square feet—was purchased by the synagogue, known as the Commandment Keepers Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation of the Living God, the Pillar and Ground of Truth. After decades of internal conflict and declining membership, the synagogue was sold to a developer for $1.625 million, according to court papers. That developer, who chiseled a Star of David over the pillared entrance to reveal original decorative detail, planned to convert the building into separate apartments. But that deal was opposed by a group within the synagogue that includes a grandson of the founding rabbi of the congregation. That faction f iled a lawsuit in state Supreme Court to try overturn the sale. In 2008, a state judge agreed that the

Obama Seeks To Take Charge of BP disaster... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Station, Obama said he will do "whatever it takes, for as long as it takes" to help Gulf residents and businesses recover from the spill. "I am with you, my administration is with you for the long haul to make sure BP pays for the damage it has caused," he said. An Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday found that 52 percent say they don't approve of Obama's handling of the spill, a shift from last month when a big chunk of people withheld judgment. But Obama's overall job performance rating didn't take a hit; it stayed virtually the same at 50 percent. Some 83 percent disapprove of BP's performance in the aftermath of the April 20 rig explosion, according to the poll. Obama's prime-time address sets the stage for his showdown White House meeting Wednesday with top executives at British-based, BP, the company that leased the rig that exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and causing the catastrophic spill. Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the president is poised to seize the handling of damage claims from BP, if necessary.

Gibbs told television news shows: "We have to get an independent claims process. I think everyone agrees that we have to get BP out of the claims processes and, as I said, make sure that fishermen, hotel owners have a fast, efficient and transparent claims process so that they're getting their livelihoods replaced." He noted in one interview that Obama "has the legal authority" to make the claims process independent. And Gibbs said "the best way to prevail upon BP is to take the claims process away from BP." Obama was also expected to say that the spill underscores the need for the United States to end its dependence on oil and move to "clean energy." BP said a small fire believed caused by lightning shut down a system capturing oil from the gushing well on Tuesday. The fire was spotted around 9:30 a.m. on the drilling ship Discoverer Enterprise. The fire was quickly extinguished, the company said, and as precaution, a system siphoning oil from a containment cap above the well was shut-

down. The oil capture operation was expected to resume later Tuesday. BP also announced Tuesday that it has approved the first payments on 90 percent of large commercial claims to cover financial losses from the spill. Payments of $16 million to businesses "began over the weekend and will be completed this week," the company said in a statement. As he toured the region on Monday, Obama delivered a message of hope and sought to show he was leading a winning battle against the raging oil spill. During stops in Alabama and Mississippi, Obama assured Gulf residents and businesses that the region's beaches will be restored to their "pristine condition" even as he promised he was bringing the full force of his government to get BP to pay damage claims in the country's worst environmental disaster. The oil gusher a mile deep in the Gulf, which the U.S. government does not have the technology to stop, has forced Obama and the federal government to rely on BP for an

eventual fix. That isn't likely to happen until a relief well penetrates the blowout in a couple of months. As he took the microphone in Theodore, Ala., on Monday afternoon, Obama likely was previewing what he would tell the country at large from the Oval Office on Tuesday evening. "I can't promise folks here in Theodore or across the Gulf that this oil will be cleaned up overnight," the president said. Yet he offered assurances that the "full resources of our government are being mobilized to confront this disaster." Obama also told the country that seafood from the region remained safe to eat, and implored holiday-makers not to cancel visits to the Gulf coast where many of the famous white beaches remain untouched. But oil from the blown out BP well is spoiling significant parts of the shoreline and already has penetrated into critical breeding grounds for wildlife, waterfowl and sea creatures — in particular shrimp and oysters. The shell fish are a mainstay of some of the Gulf state economies.

The Trollhattan Project: Rescuing Saab... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 and acquisitions, that he’d have to make a break from his Russian partner, Vladimir Antonov, before any serious negotiations. “It was like playing chess on four boards at once,” Muller says of the negotiations he had under way, not only with GM, but Antonov, the European Investment Bank and the Swedish government, which had to guarantee a proposed loan from the EIB. Ultimately, tenacity overcame the roadblocks. On Jan. 26, Muller locked down a $400 million package that included just $74 million in cash for GM’s stake in Saab, and on Feb. 23 he inked the acquisition. The most immediate challenge was getting the assembly line back into operation and then rushing cars to anxious dealers. Ultimately the line would be idled for seven

weeks. It will be the end of June before operations get back anywhere close to normal; the Trollhattan plant is scheduled to produce about 300 cars a day by then. And there are other challenges. “Right now, we should have 15,000 cars in dealer hands around the world. We barely have 5,000," says Mike Colleran, CEO of Saab Cars USA. In the U.S., there are fewer than 700 units of the all-new 9-5, which Saab was getting ready to launch just as GM ordered the company to wind down. That’s ironic, says independent auto analyst Dan Gorrell, who calls the new 9-5 arguably the best car to emerge from Saab in decades, and the most distinctive developed under General Motors. The sedan bucks current styling trends, which favor coupe-like

luxury sedans, in favor of an angular shape borrowed from the well-received Saab Aero concept car unveiled in 2006. Muller and company are confident that with the new flagship they can bring annual sales back up into the 120,000 range, or better, a figure that Saab consistently met before the current automotive meltdown. But if GM couldn't make money at that number what prospects does Spyker-owned Saab have? Muller insists that GM saddled its Scandinavian subsidiary with mounds of unnecessary costs. Saab, he points out, was billed more than $200 million for the failed attempt to produce a small Cadillac based on the Swedish maker’s midsize 9-3 model. “We believe we can bring our breakeven down to somewhere at or around 85,000 units. After that,” he insists, “we’ll make a lot of money on every car we sell.” Analysts like Gorrell remain skeptical, and point out that the maker can’t just rely on the new 9-5 to carry it forward. Saab’s chief executive, Jan Ake Jonsson, agrees. He notes that the maker is readying an assortment of new products, including a new crossoverutility vehicle, dubbed the 9-4X, due next year. It will be followed, Jonsson reveals, by

a new version of the 9-3. But the real key to a turnaround could be a product that Saab can, for now, only dream of. Dubbed the 9-2, it would be a compact model designed to compete with the likes of the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4. Jonsson forecasts it would generate at least 30,000 new sales annually and, if Muller’s financial analysis is correct, transform a longtime money loser into a very profitable Saab. The problem is that the company doesn’t have the money to develop the planned small car on its own. But Jonsson says he has been approached "by a lot of potential partners." Partnering, he insists, is the new way of the automotive world, pointing to alliances like the new one between Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler AG and Renault. If he’s right, and Saab chooses carefully, it could have a new 9-2 rolling into showrooms by 2014. But for now, the challenge is simply filling the pipeline with 9-5s. And then the maker has to convince potential customers that it really is back in business for the long haul. The coming months will be challenging ones, Muller admits, though he's confident that this is one Saab story that will have a happy ending.

Yuri Foreman Should Have â€˜More Powerâ€™ Following Right Knee Surgery Former WBA junior middleweight (154 pounds) champion Yuri Foreman should be better overall when he makes his expected return to the ring in six months, that following surgery on his right knee to repair a torn ACL and meniscus, according to one of the physicians who treated him for those injuries.

Sela Rocks Roddick in Wimbledon Warm-Up As we have come to expect by now, when it comes to Dudi Sela nothing is certain. "Before last year I didn't like the grass surface," the Israeli tennis star said after his epic straight-sets upset of fourthranked Andy Roddick in the third round of the Queen's Club Championships in London by a score of 6-4, 7-6 (10-8 ). "Now I love playing on it."

he 29-year-old Foreman (28-1, eight knockouts) underwent a 90-minute surgery performed by Dr. Laith M. Jazrawi following the ligament tears that resulted in the Brooklyn resident twice falling to the canvas during the seventh round of an eventual ninth-round TKO loss on June 5 to Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) at the new Yankee Stadium. "Yuri Foreman's boxing game has a lot to do with mobility, so he's been a very mobile boxer, and the only thing that he can do is become more mobile with a stable knee," said Dr. Gerald Varlotta, who diagnosed the injury two days after the bout, and referred Foreman to Jazrawi. Yuri will be able to push off better, stabilize better, and have more power in his punch." After being hurt in the seventh round against Cotto, Foreman was declared the eventual loser when referee Arthur Mercante Jr. waved an end to the bout 42 seconds into the ninth round following a left hook to the body by Cotto that crumpled Foreman to the floor. An associate professor of rehabilitation medicine at NYU's Rusk Institute and director of NYU's outpatient rehabilitation network, Varlotta was ringside for Foreman's loss to Cotto. "I saw what everybody else saw, which is that in the seventh round, Yuri twisted his knee and ended up most likely tearing the meniscus," said Varlotta. "And then he bravely went on and continued fighting before it was later determined that he couldn't continue." Varlotta "subsequently saw Yuri on Monday," in his office at NYU's Rusk Institute. "On Monday, I spent the time going over the MRI scan with him, discussing options, examining his knee and determining with him and his wife and a representative of his what the best options were. And we discussed each of his options," said Varlotta. "We determined after an MRI scan that there was an ACL tear that was there previously since the age of 15, and that he had a significant meniscus injury," said Varlotta. "So it was determined that instead of just taking care of the meniscus that would definitely provide him with temporary relief, that he would undergo the surgery to stabilize his knee and also take care of the meniscus." Varlotta then referred Foreman to his NYU colleague, Dr. Jazrawi, who performed Friday's surgery on Foreman's right knee to repair both the torn ACL and meniscus. Jazrawi also cleaned out cartilage debris. "Yuri Foreman had ACL reconstruction to stabilize his knee, and that went perfect. He has a brand new ACL. He's definitely going to be better now that his knee is stabilized," Jazrawi said of Foreman, who will begin a four-month rehabilitation program on Monday and could return to the ring in as early as sixth months. "When when we do these surgeries, they are to basically stabilize the athletes so that

Yuri Foreman hoping for a rematch against Cotto. they can get back to certain activities. With an intact ACL, for example, that slipping move that happened in the ring, Yuri's knee wouldn't have given out. That's basically what we do when we do the ACL reconstruction," said Jazrawi, director of sports medicine at NYU as well as an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at NYU's hospital for joint diseases. "When you have an athlete that's involved with a pivoting sport, it's crucial that they have their ACL," said Jazrawi. "Obviously, there are athletes who can accommodate for that, and athletes out there with deficient knees that seem to be able to deal with it. But certainly, it can become a problem as time goes on, and that's why he did the surgery." Foreman told reporters during the postfight press conference that the injury -- for which he wears a brace on his right knee during bouts -- was a chronic one that he initially suffered when he was about 15 years old. "Any time that you have a deficient knee. you can be predisposed to Yuri's type of injury," said Jazrawi. "There was also some cartilage damage in there which we cleaned up as well, and which is typical in these athletes with ACL tears." Born in Gomel, Belarus, and raised in Israel, and studying to be a rabbi, Foreman, in November, became the first Israeli to win a professional boxing title when he dethroned Puerto Rico's Daniel Santos by 12-round unanimous decision, twice dropping Santos during the bout. But the fact that Foreman had had no major setbacks with his knee for the nearly 14 years since first being injured as a teenager was amazing, said Varlotta. "The fact that Yuri got to the level that he did on this previous ACL injury was a absolutely miraculous feat of perseverance and endurance. He's going to be stronger and have better push off of his right knee and perhaps more power and therefore better punching power and more stability," said Varlotta. "[Dr. Jazrawi] is a high-level athlete himself," said Varlotta. "I trusted that Dr. Jazrawi would do the right operation and be there to help with the rehabilitation aspect and getting Yuri back to performing at a very high level. He can only go up with this stabilized knee."

ela, the 63rd-ranked player in the world, came into yesterday's match against the world's seventh-ranked player, and clinched one of the most impressive victories of his career. "I think I could have done some things differently, but I thought he played a pretty perfect match," Roddick, the 28-year-old Wimbledon finalist of 2009, said of Sela afterward. "I've played worse at this tournament before and gotten through and won it. I thought he played a really good match. He outplayed me today," said Roddick in the post-match press conference. Roddick and Sela last met in the final of the China Open in Beijing in 2008, which the Israeli valiantly lost in three tough sets. Despite the achievement, Sela recognizes the challenge that awaits him in the east London warm-up act to Wimbledon. "I hope to go as far as I can in this tournament," he said. "Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are in it as well, so it will be tough for me - but every round that I win is a bonus." Sela's strong showing at Queen's Club will only heighten expectations for the main event at the All England Club, which commences on June 21. "It seems that grass is most suited to him," said his brother, Ofer Sela. "For a versatile, creative player with great hands like Dudi, there is an advantage on this surface. I knew that if Dudi succeed-

Dudi Sela ed in returning Roddick's serve he would have a good chance to win, because on grass it is easier for him to hold serve." "Roddick's service game betrayed him at critical points, including the set point on the tiebreak when he misfired on his first serve," Ofer Sela said. "Besides that, there's a good chance to upset players like that in the early rounds when they still haven't gotten accustomed to the surface. Dudi has played one more match in this tournament than Roddick has." Sela has had a difficult year, particularly after suffering a viral infection that impaired his vision. Yet he has recovered just in time. "It's all about confidence and momentum," said Ofer Sela. "I saw it in him at the French Open. When his back is against the wall and people count him out, he gets the best results."

Once in hand, the key launches a citywide exploration of backdoors, front gates, community gardens, graveyards, and museums that suggests that the city is a series of spaces that are either locked or unlocked.

Students from 10 New York City public middle schools across the five boroughs have transformed school lunchroom tables into personalized canvases and created colorful works of public art that touch upon social issues in their community and across the globe. Installed in ten community parks across the five boroughs, the tables give young teens the chance to voice their opinions and reach out to the public in hopes of inspiring social change through their art. The project, which marks the largest student exhibition in the history of NYC Parks and the first to span five boroughs, included visits with artists such as Tom Otterness, Christo, Chuck Close, and Vito Acconci. Artworks can be seen at: Sheltering Arms Park and St. Nicholas Park in Manhattan; Fermi Playground and Irving Square Park in Brooklyn; Crotona Park and Claremont Park in the Bronx; Juniper Valley Park and Forest Park in Queens; and Silver Lake Park and Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island.

Willoughby Street between Bridge and Duffield Streets, Brooklyn A BELL FOR EVERY MINUTE, Stephen Vitiello, Friends of the High Line (June 23, 2010 - June 22, 2011) In 2007 sound artist Stephen Vitiello was commissioned by Friends of the Highline and Creative Time, in collaboration with the Parks Department, to execute a sound work inside of Blaichman Tunnel. The piece will fill the semi-enclosed tunnel just below 14th street with sound elements from bells recorded all over New York City and state. A different bell will ring each minute of the hour and a chorus of bells on the top of the hour. This

Park Avenue Malls between 52nd and 54th Streets, Manhattan ELEVEN HEAVY THINGS, Miranda July, presented by Deitch Projects - through October 3 The cast fiber-glass, steel-lined pieces are designed for interaction: pedestals to stand on, tablets with holes, and free-standing abstract headdresses. A series of three pedestals in ascending height, The Guilty One, The Guiltier One, The Guiltiest One, ask the viewer to ascribe his or her guilt relative to the people around him. A large flat shape, painted with Burberry plaid, hovers on a pole, waiting to become someone’s aura. Another hanging shape looks like an intricate lace headdress. A series of tablets invite heads, arms, legs and one finger. A wider pedestal for two people to hug reads, “We don’t know each other, we’re just hugging for the picture.” July assumes and invites the picture — 11 photo opportunities, in a city where one is always clutching a camera. Though the work begins as sculpture, it becomes a performance that is only complete when these tourist photos are uploaded onto personal blogs and sent in emails — at which point the audience changes, and the subject clearly becomes the participants, revealing themselves through the work. Union Square Park Center Lawn, Manhattan

decades, there has been little communication between the college and its West Harlem neighbors, but the college was awakened by the idea of an arts collaboration that could bridge new attitudes, forge bold artistic expressions and an understanding of the past.

THE RIVER THAT FLOWS BOTH WAYS, Spencer Finch organized by Friends of the High Line – through June Inspired by the Hudson River, The River That Flows Both Ways documents a 700minute (11 hours, 40 minutes) journey on the river in a single day. The title is a translation of Muhheakantuck, the Native American name for the Hudson that refers to the river’s natural flow in two directions. Like the rail line that existed on the High Line, the Hudson River was, and still is, an active route for the transportation of goods into Manhattan. The color of each pane of glass was based on a single pixel point in each photograph and arranged chronologically in the tunnel’s existing steel mullions. Time is translated into a grid, reading from left to right and top to bottom, capturing the varied reflective and translucent conditions of the water’s surface. The High Line, Manhattan.

Guyton\Walker’s project involves wrapping the site’s entire perimeter fence, a span of nearly 450 feet, with sheets of vinyl printed on both sides with brightly colored images of citrus fruits, bananas, and zebras, as well as bold graphic patterns, all of which are woven together digitally to form a kind of twentyfirst century mural. 820 Washington Street (at the Gansevoort Entrance to the High Line), Manhattan.

Taste of Jewish-Israeli Heritage in Negev JNF day tour offers opportunity to see several off-the-beaten track sites in northern Negev.

he Jewish National Fund’s (JNF) new day tour, which takes place every Wednesday, offers the opportunity to see several off-the-beaten track sites in the northern Negev. Beginning with an overview of the prestate days of Jewish resistance until today’s Qassam rocket attacks from Gaza, the tour touches on both biblical stories and newage pioneers who are making former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion’s dream to

Museum Presents Exhibit on Jewish Life in North Carolina The North Carolina Museum of History is hosting an exhibit on 400 years of Jewish life in the state.

A grounded Spirit Airline sits idle waiting for the strike to end. A pilots‘strike at Spirit Airlines prompted the carrier on Tuesday to extend flight cancellations, with shares of rivals moving higher on prospects of more business.

“D

own Home: Jewish Life in North Carolina,” on view beginning Monday, chronicles how Jews blended their traditions into Southern culture while at the same time maintaining their religion.

If You Go… Exhibit on Jewish life at the North Carolina Museum of History, 5 E. Edenton St., Raleigh; Free. Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sundays, noon-5 p.m. Exhibit on view through July 10, closed July 11Aug. 1, reopens Aug. 2-March 7.

ccording to Reuters on Tuesday, pilots represented by the Air Line Pilots Association struck on Saturday after last-ditch talks with the discount carrier failed to bridge differences over pay. Florida-based Spirit said it is offering affected customers flight credits for the full amount of their cancelled flights and giving them a $100 future flight credit. Privately held Spirit operates more than 150 flights per day, primarily to the eastern United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. Airline shares rose along with the broad-

er market on Monday. But shares of Spirit‘s most immediate rivals, JetBlue Airways, American Airlines parent AMR and AirTran, also rose on prospects of additional business. Spirit accounts for less than one per cent of the overall US market, with about 5.2 million passengers in 2009. Spirit pilots planned to picket on Monday at Fort Lauderdale, Detroit and Atlantic City, its three biggest cities. The strike at Spirit is the first notable airline strike since Northwest mechanics walked out in 2005. It is being watched closely by unions in contract talks at other airlines. Spirit is best known in the industry for its low fares and for its controversial plan announced in April to begin charging up to $45 for carry-on bags. Most airlines charge for checked bags only.
