Molestation of 12 year old in Belz Shul!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

From the New York Post

A Brooklyn teen, accompanied by his rabbi and a lawyer, surrendered today in the molestation of a youngster in the basement of a Borough Park synagogue.

Menachem Deutsch, 19, was charged with unlawful imprisonment and child endangerment in the June 22 attack, authorities said.

Deutsch, dressed in traditional Hasidic attire, allegedly lured a 12-year-old boy walking home from school into Simcha Hall, a basement event space located inside a synagogue at 15th Avenue and 50th Street, authorities said.

Once inside, Deutsch brought the boy into a bathroom and allegedly groped and molested the child over the course of an hour.

Brooklyn, NY - Police are searching for a man who has lured children into a Brooklyn synagogue, molesting at least one of them. Police say the sex attack happened during the afternoon on Wednesday, June 22.

Police say the man lured a 12-year-old into Simcha Hall, a Borough Park synagogue located at 50th Street and 15th Avenue.

Once in the basement, police say the man, dressed in tradition Hasidic attire, sexually assaulted the boy.

About an hour later, a second boy, 11, was confronted by the same man in front of the synagogue.

Police say that boy was not sexually assaulted but was lured into the synagogue. The Special Victims Crime Unit is now handling the case as they search for the suspect.

According to the NY Post, The incidents came to light after one of the victims told his father what had happened. The dad in turn contacted Rabi Nochem Rosenberg, an advocate who works to expose incidents of child sexual molestation in the Hasidic Orthodox Jewish community. Rosenberg gave the father the number of an NYPD detective.

"I said go down to the detective, and report it," Rosenberg said.

David Orlander, whose son Nafatali Orlander manages the shul, said he had hear about the alleged attacks, but did not know who committed them.  "We won’t sweep it under the rug. Nobody is denying it [happened] but, for some reason, nobody knowns anything either," Orlander said. "Our shul is open 20 hours a day, and there’s not necessarily someone in the building," Orlander said. "It’s open, in case anyone wants to come in an study. Even the mailman and the sanitation workers know it’s open and they can use the bathrooms. Anyone can walk in there."

Potato Chips making us all into Fatsos!

Blame the potato chip. It's the biggest demon behind that pound-a-year weight creep that plagues many of us, a major diet study found. Bigger than soda, candy and ice cream.
And the reason is partly that old advertising cliche: You can't eat just one.
"They're very tasty and they have a very good texture. People generally don't take one or two chips. They have a whole bag," said obesity expert Dr. F. Xavier Pi-Sunyer of the St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York.

What we eat and how much of it we consume has far more impact than exercise and most other habits do on long-term weight gain, according to the study by Harvard University scientists. It's the most comprehensive look yet at the effect of individual foods and lifestyle choices like sleep time and quitting smoking.

The results are in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

Delta adopts Saudi 'no-Jew' fly policy!

Delta Air Lines' plan to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance of partnering companies would require the American carrier to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights from New York or Washington bound for Jeddah, prompting outraged accusations of illegal religious discrimination.

The issue, which has caught the attention of the American Center for Law and Justice already, was raised when Washington attorney Jeffrey Lovitky was perusing airline procedures for travel.

"As we learn more about the issue and facts, we are determined to ensure that American citizens do not face discrimination by airlines like Delta that are passenger code-sharing with Saudi Arabian Airlines," said Colby M. May, director and senior counsel of the ACLJ.

Police Arrest Woman For Videotaping Them From Her Front Yard

A woman was arrested for videotaping police from her front yard in Rochester, New York.

The woman, who is unidentified at this point, was recording a traffic stop where police had a man handcuffed on May 12^th. The video was uploaded to Blip TV today.

The cops noticed her recording and started hassling her with absurd notions.

“I don’t feel safe with you standing behind me, so I’m going to ask you to go into your house,” the cop said.

“You seem very anti-police … due to what you said to me before you started taping me.”

It is not clear what she said before she started recording, but if she said anything threatening, they would have arrested her at that moment.

She ended up getting handcuffed and taken away after she refused to walk into her house, even though she was clearly on her own property.

A friend or relative ended up taking the camera and we see her being led away.

Neighbors who witnessed the interaction confirmed she had done nothing wrong.

Meanwhile, the man they had originally handcuffed was released.

UPDATE: The woman's name is Emily Good. She was charged with obstructing government administration. I'm looking forward to her lawsuit.

UPDATE II: The cop's name is Mario Masic.

Scientists are manufacturing "sea level data" to exaggerate the effects of Global Warming!

Is climate change raising sea levels, as Al Gore has argued -- or are climate scientists doctoring the data?

The University of Colorado’s Sea Level Research Group decided in May to add 0.3 millimeters -- or about the thickness of a fingernail -- every year to its actual measurements of sea levels, sparking criticism from experts who called it an attempt to exaggerate the effects of global warming.

Nazi Grandma: Himmler’s Daughter Carries Her Father’s Flame To A New Generation of Nazis

Himmler's Daughter Gurun Burwitz

Waving goodbye to her grandchildren, Gudrun Burwitz has the look of a woman ready to live the rest of her days in peace and quiet.

Instead, the 81-year-old daughter of Heinrich Himmler still works at a ruthless pace to keep the Nazi flame alive.

Mrs Burwitz has always nurtured the memory of her father, believing the man who ran the Gestapo, the SS and the extermination programme which murdered six million Jews, to be good and worthy.

And despite her advanced years, she continues to help the ageing remnants of the Nazi regime to evade justice.

As the leading figure in the shadowy and sinister support group Stille Hilfe –Silent Help – she helps bring succour and financial help to those still at large.

Said to have been formed in 1951 by a clique of high-ranking SS officers and right-wing clergy in Germany, it exists ‘to provide quiet but active assistance to those who lost their freedom during or after the war by capture, internment or similar circumstance and who need help to this day’.

Now it is in the hands of Mrs Burwitz. And her work has taken an even more sinister turn. She has become ‘grandmother’ to a new breed of female Nazis on the radical right.

Weiner's Wife is a Member of the Violent Terrorist Group "Muslim Brotherhood!"

Anthony Weiner resigned yesterday, unable to withstand the relentless pressure put on him for his sexting extravaganzas. Yet if an article written by former PLO terrorist-turned-Christian and Israel supporter Walid Shoebat (along with KTEM radio host Ben Barrack) is any indication, it may very well be that the wrong member of the family resigned. According to Arabic sources translated by Mr. Shoebat, Huma Abedin’s mother and brother are both associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ms. Abedin’s mother, Saleha Mahmoud Abdeen, is reportedly part of a special woman’s unit known as the Muslim Sisterhood or the International Women’s Organization (IWO) which, according to a counter-terrorism report obtained by the Terrorism Committee of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, operates within the Brotherhood in Egypt and possibly other Arab nations as well. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Dostor confirms that the Sisterhood includes 63 international members in 16 different countries.

Rabbi used mystical threats to force girl to have sex

A 64-year-old community rabbi from Netanya was charged on Monday at the Petah Tikva District Court with forcing a 13-year-old girl into having sex with him by exploiting his authority and using “mystical threats” to intimidate her.

The defendant, named as Rabbi David Ben-Haham Hafuta, was arrested on May 30, and is charged with carrying out sexual acts on three occasions with the girl, after telling her that she had to “repair her sins” and that she would be “the mother of the messiah.”
The girl had approached the rabbi for religious advice, and he in turn said he wanted to “reveal to her the role she would play in the world,” charge sheet said.

Between July and August 2010, the defendant picked up the girl at a Netanya intersection and drove her to a local beach.

In the car, “he told her she was destined to be the mother of the messiah and that she had to repair all of her sinful acts that she committed until now. The way to repairing these acts was to hold sexual relations,” the charge sheet said.

He then held a “marriage ceremony” with the girl, and swore her to secrecy.

Obamas' rage over Netanyahu meeting! "What the f--k was that?"

Shortly after the photo-op meeting and “working lunch” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the one that saw President Obama openly chastised by the Prime Minister for Obama’s earlier public comments regarding wanting to see Israel return to its 1967 borders, the president verbally “went off” on Richard Daley in the private study area that adjoins the Oval Office.  President Obama’s verbal attack was clearly heard by numerous staff up and down the West Wing hallways.

The essence of the president’s rage and embarrassment can best be summed up with him yelling out very loudly, “What the f-ck was that!?”  That phrase was apparently repeated a number of times in the span of about five minutes, a time period in which Obama’s voice became “louder and louder” and culminating in Obama exclaiming, “Never again!  Do you understand me? Never again!” Any response by Bill Daley back to the president, if given, was not overheard.

Apple the most contaminated fruit?

Could an apple a day really keep the doctor away?

 Maybe -- but it may also be coated in pesticides.

Today, the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy nonprofit, released its latest "Dirty Dozen" list of the 12 fruits and vegetables that are most contaminated with pesticides, as an update to its 2010 rankings. And taking first place this year? Apples. The ubiquitous fruit beat out last year's top spot, which went to celery (now at number two).

The health benefits of fruits and vegetables are, without a doubt, a known fact -- reinstating the message was last month's release of the USDA's MyPlatefood pyramid replacement, which suggests filling half of your plate with fruits and vegetables.

But the potentially darker side of fruits and vegetables is centered around concerns about their pesticide loads, which some studies have linked to possible health problems, particularly among women who are pregnant and children. So when organic foods typically carry a higher price tag, what's a frugal shopper to do?

That's where the new shopper's guide comes into play (download it here).

"Picking five servings of fruits and vegetables from the 12 most contaminated would cause you to consume an average of 14 different pesticides a day," the group reports in its findings, which were based on data collected by the United States Departure of Agriculture of food samples that often were ready to be eaten (meaning that they had already been peeled or washed as necessary).

On the flip side, EWG writes that choosing foods from their counterpart "Clean 15" list will slash the pesticide volume by more than 90 percent. Topping the "Clean 15" were onions, sweet corn, pineapples and avocado (check out the full list here).

"We have very good data showing that if people eat organic that measurable pesticide levels in their tissues drop, and this has been shown with kids as well," HuffPost blogger Dr. Andrew Weil told EWGlast year when they released the 2010 Shopper's List. "I've always said that it would be wise to learn which crops are more likely to carry pesticide residues and in those instance to try to get organic versions or to reduce consumption or avoid the conventional varieties."

Of course, while the EWG encourages going organic when it comes to items on their Dirty Dozen List, they do clearly state that conventional produce is certainly better than none at all: "The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure."

Very Long Total Lunar Eclipse coming Wednesday

This montage of images taken by skywatcher Kieth Burns shows the Dec. 20, 2010 total lunar eclipse. The photos won a NASA contest to become an official NASA/JPL wallpaper for the public.

This photo of the Dec. 20 total lunar eclipse by Jimmy Westlake shows the blue edge to Earth's shadow set against the reddened moon.

This month's full moon will pass almost directly through the center
 of Earth's shadowon Wednesday in what will be an unusually
 long total eclipse of the moon. 
The lunar eclipse will occur just two weeks after a June 1 
partial solar eclipse, when the moon blocked part of the sun 
as viewed from Arctic regions. The eclipse won't be visible
from North America due to its timing, which places the event
 in the daylight hours when the moon is behind the local horizon. 

But the Eastern Hemisphere of Earth will be facing the moon 
during the eclipse. This hemisphere, centered on a spot in the Indian
Ocean to the east of the island nation of Madagascar, 
will have a ringside seat for this event. 
[ Video: Inside the June 15 Total LunarEclipse ] 
Since the Earth rotates during the several hours of the eclipse,
 more than a hemisphere sees stages of it. 

New York Times Releases 24,000 Palin E-Mails

Eager members of the Main Stream Media  and liberal bloggers have been poring over 24,000 emails from Palin’s time as governor and still, the most shocking thing remains the media’s obsession with a woman they call “irrelevant.”

Irrelevant, really? Nothing says “power” to me than knowing that a bunch of die hard Palin-haters are giving up one of their first summer weekends to learn that Palin thought the media was biased.

Kiddush Clubs Boycott "Chivas Regal" & "Glenlivit" Scotch Whiskey!

Nu!
 The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC) – a partnership of 250 Jewish men’s clubs that claims more than 25,000 members throughout North America – has joined with synagogues both in Israel and in the diaspora in “suggesting a boycott of scotch from distillers located in West Dunbartonshire Council in Scotland at Kiddush and [in] public and private” celebrations.

The FJMC, which is affiliated with the Conservative movement, has called for Jews to avoid certain brands of spirits following a boycott of Israeli goods instituted by the local council of the whiskey-producing region.

Among the distilleries named in the boycott are Morrison Bowmore, Loch Lamond and Chivas Brothers.

Chivas Brothers produces the well-regarded Chivas, Glenlivet and Ballantine’s brands which are the preferred spirits in many so-called “Kiddush clubs,” which gather following services in some synagogues.

The decision by Rabbi Simon to urge FJMC members to engage in a counter-boycott came after well known Israeli-Anglo blogger and pro-settlement activist, Jameel Rashid, publicized on his website a letter to several distilleries located within West Dunbartonshire. Rashid wrote: “the global counterboycott of Scottish whiskey products, distilled in the West Durbanshire council region, is beginning.”

Anglo-Israelis, an important target market for purveyors of liquor here, have been circulating e-mails calling on both Israeli and American Jews to cease consumption of Scotch whiskey, and urging supporters of Israel to send copies of Rashid’s missive to the distilleries in question.

When “your local council representatives boycott my country – under the most unethical and immoral of pretext – you cannot expect your market to sit idly and pretend you are not perverting justice,” wrote Rashid.

The boycott against Israel was initially introduced by the West Dunbartonshire Council in response to what councilmen described as “the disproportionate use of force used against Palestinians” during the IDF’s Gaza incursion in 2009.

Bikur Cholim of Monsey wins $286,000.00 Lawsuit against Suffern, New York

From the Journal News:

A U.S. magistrate judge has recommended that the village pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to a nonprofit agency and several others who sued the village, claiming their religious rights had been violated.

According to court documents filed Friday, Magistrate Judge George A. Yanthis recommended that Suffern pay $286,387.26 to Bikur Cholim Inc. and seven other plaintiffs who had first brought a lawsuit against the village in 2006.

Bikur Cholim has operated the Shabbos house in Suffern for more than 20 years. The house provides free kosher meals and lodging to observant Jews visiting patients at Good Samaritan Hospital on the Sabbath and on 13 Jewish holy days, when Jews are required to refrain from activities such as using electricity, driving and exchanging money.

In 2005, the Shabbos house, which had operated from inside Good Samaritan, was moved to a home on Hillcrest Road.

Following the move, village officials accused the operators of the Shabbos house of violating zoning regulations — the facility provided lodging for up to 14 people at a time, but was in a zone reserved for single-family housing.

Bikur Cholim took the village to federal court, claiming its rights guaranteed under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 were violated when the village failed to grant the organization a variance. A civil rights suit filed against the village by the federal government soon followed.

In June 2010, the village, Bikur Cholim and the federal government struck a deal allowing the Shabbos house to remain in operation.

Village Attorney Terry A. Rice said that despite Yanthis' recommendation, the village can only be held accountable for up to $200,000 in legal fees, a figure agreed to previously by all parties.

Suffern Mayor Dagan LaCorte, who said the village intends to pay the fees by authorizing a bond anticipation note over five years, agreed, noting that the settlement in the case avoided significantly higher fees that would likely have resulted from taking on the plaintiffs as well as the federal government.

"The litigation and our pursuit of this case would have most likely led to legal fees of $1 million," LaCorte said. "The next step was a trial and a trial obviously generates a substantial amount of legal fees."

Paul Savad, the lead attorney for Bikur Cholim and the other plaintiffs, said he viewed Friday's recommendation as further evidence that his clients are the prevailing parties in the case.

"The village gave us the opportunity to apply for legal fees and the court agreed with our position that we were entitled to legal fees," Savad said. Savad also confirmed that $200,000 is the maximum amount for which Suffern can be held responsible.

Rice said he would discuss with the village board whether or not to appeal Yanthis' decision. An appeal must be filed 14 days from Friday's decision if the village opts to pursue that route.

Homeland Security Chief: "No Logic in Profiling Muslim Men Under the age of 35"

"You're not using good logic there. You've got to use actual intelligence that you received. And, so, you might -- all you've given me is a kind of status. You have not given me a technique for tactic or behavior. Something that would suggest somebody is not Muslim, but Islamic, that has actually moved into the category of violent extremists," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said at a forum on U.S. security and preventing terrorist attacks.

"We have ways to make some of those cuts. And they involve the intel that comes in, the analysis that goes on. For example, we often times, for travelers entering the United States, we won't not do what is called a secondary inspection just because they are a 35-year- old male who appears to be Muslim, whatever that means. But we know from intelligence that if they have a certain travel pattern over a certain period of time, that should cause us to ask some more significant questions than if we don't."

New Square's Purchase of Public School Blocked by State Education Commissioner

From Journal News:

The ruling by the state education commissioner nullifying the bargain-basement sale of Hillcrest Elementary School to a local yeshiva gives force to criticism that the transaction was tantamount to a charade and that the East Ramapo school board failed to discharge its fiduciary duty to taxpayers . The findings also raise troubling questions about a key appraisal the board maintains helped justify its decision; the commissioner found no clear evidence that the appraisal was even authorized by the trustees until after the bid from Congregation Yeshiva Avir Yakov of New Square was accepted.

In setting aside the sale this week, Education Commissioner David Steiner concluded that the board had "abused its discretion by hastily approving the sale" and ordered the board to do what it clearly failed to do when it pushed through the transaction last July — "take reasonable steps ... to secure the best price obtainable for Hillcrest." The 10-page ruling leaves much for school board members to explain, including how they could so thoroughly disregard their obligations to taxpayers. Steiner makes plain that the trustees came up woefully short — not the first time such criticism has been heard.

The board, whose majority comes from the ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic communities, has been accused of favoring members of the bloc-voting religious communities — where children attend private yeshivas — at the expense of the public schools. The closing of Hillcrest, and its fast-track sale to the yeshiva — for an apparent bargain-basement price — fits that narrative. School closures, like Hillcrest and Colton elementary before, have been justified by the district as enrollment numbers dwindled and the district's limited finances worsened. That a yeshiva would be interested in purchasing the property makes sense in a region with a burgeoning religious population.

Steiner did not address the accusations of favoritism — and he supported the district's right to sell the property without a public vote. The commissioner made plain, however, that the school board failed taxpayers: "... (A) board of education has a fiduciary duty to secure the best price obtainable" on behalf of its taxpayers. There was noting in the record to show that the trustees took even modest steps to ensure taxpayers were treated fairly.

When and why

Key to Steiner's ruling were property appraisals secured by the school board. The trustees voted to close the school in April of 2010. The 12-acre property was then appraised at $5.9 million. At the same time, Clarkstown listed the property's assessed value at $10.2 million. In July, Yeshiva Avir Yakov offered $3.1 million for the school; the district subsequently ordered a second appraisal, which came in at $3.2 million — significantly less than the first. On July 28, the board OK'd the sale to Yeshiva Avir Yakov.

Steiner faulted the board's documentation of key facts surrounding the second appraisal. While board members said they ordered and accepted that appraisal before signing off on the sale, Steiner found no documentation to support this contention. Meeting minutes don't mention the second appraisal until Aug. 4, after the sale was completed. Wrote Steiner: "While the board contends that it directed its attorney to obtain the appraisal on July 13, 2010, there is no evidence that this actually occurred." The trustees should take time to explain to taxpayers what they could not adequately clear up with the education chief.

Steiner also questioned the board's "circular" reasoning for so easily disregarding the higher first appraisal. The school board said that appraisal didn't reflect current market conditions. But the board failed to take the steps outlined in the appraisal: aggressive marketing of the property and listing it broadly for approximately a year. Instead, they marketed the property for less than a month and treated it to limited advertising: mention on the school district's website and a legal notice in The Journal News. That hardly evinces a good faith effort to secure the best price.

While a school board has broad discretion in determining the best method for a sale, Steiner noted that "a board of education may not act arbitrarily, and it must exercise its judgment and discretion in good faith. ... this includes taking reasonable steps to ascertain the value of a property and/or to utilize a method of sale which is apt to bring in the best price." He added: "The record before me ... calls into question the reasonableness of the board's action under the totality of circumstances."

Steiner's ruling won't preclude the eventual sale of Hillcrest, just this ill-advised one.

The school could even end up being sold to Yeshiva Avir Yakov, or another religious school that has a growing student body.

The ruling, however, sets forth what a proper sale should look like — and how these trustees failed taxpayers.
