My tweet about American Apparel’s Sandy Sale was picked up by ABC News.
Ryan Holiday, spokesperson for American Apparel, responded to ABC News in an email:
“For us, this is about us working like crazy to get and keep our stores open. We’ve got employees who can’t work when stores are closed due to weather and the biggest Made in USA factory in the country that sits idle–we would never try to offend anyone or capitalize on a natural disaster, this was simply an effort to mitigate some of the effects of the storm on our business.”

A report I wrote for The Local about a Swedish lunch lady who was told her food is ‘too good’ is doing the rounds on the web. The school board felt it was ‘unfair’ that other school kids were not receiving as good food, and so told the lunch lady to put a lid on it.
The story from The Local has been covered on CBC, UPI, Huffington Post, Jezebel, The Mary Sue, The Voice of Russia and MSN. It was also on the front pages of Fark and Reddit.

I have a couple of stories in this week’s edition of the Jewish Chronicle that are not available online.
One is about the death of a two-week-old baby in Brooklyn. He contracted herpes after an orthodox circumcision ritual known as metzitzah b’peh, or oral suction. The case has revived a debate about the safety of circumcision and the boundaries of religious freedom. New York City authorities have tried to curb the orthodox ritual in the past. Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters: ‘There’s probably nobody in public life who fights harder for the separation of church and state than me. But religious liberty simply does not extend to injuring others or putting children at risk… So we’ll continue working with the community and others to prevent more baby boys from suffering these tragic fates.’
The second story deals with President Barack Obama’s proposal to lower the income tax deduction rate for charitable giving. William Daroff, vice president for public policy at the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), told me that if the proposed reforms are carried through, the consequences would be ‘immense’. The US charitable sector as a whole would face a 4 to 6 per cent annual loss in donations, said Mr Daroff. ‘For the Jewish Federations that means a decrease of between $40 and $60million annually.’ With an estimated $200million transferred annually from the JFNA to Israel, the expected reduction in charitable donations would result in a $8-12 million decrease in funds for Israel.

In an interview with London Loves Business, Luluvise founder Alexandra Chong responds to my description of her ladies-only social networking site as a ‘silly, wannabe combo of Sex and the City and High School Musical’. Chong reportedly said: ‘Well, if we’re not your cup of tea, we’re not your cup of tea, don’t join our platform. We have millions of other girls who would like to luluvise.’ The interviewer describes the word ‘luluvise’ as a new English verb.
Chong may well have found a lucrative niche market and whether or not young women would like to join the Luluvise network is of course up to them. My criticism focused on how it combines the view of women as vulnerable with the view of women as primarily interested in gossip, fashion and rating men. I suggested this is in no way ‘empowering’, but quite the opposite – it buys into and supports a reductive take on womanhood. So, Luluvise’s self-styled image as a ‘girl power’ website is good marketing, but bad feminism.
Read the London Loves Business interview with Alexandra Chong here and view my original post here. And you can decide for yourself whether you’d like ‘to luluvise’ or not by checking out Chong’s social network website here.

It’s the end of an era: today Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy in a Manhattan court. The 131-year-old film pioneer had been struggling for years to adapt to a digital era. One of many signs that this day was imminent came with the discontinuation of Kodachrome film in 2009. After 20 years of steadily dropping sales, Kodak stopped producing the film which has been used to create some of the most iconic images of the past two decades. In December 2010, I spoke to the vice president of Dwayne’s Photo, a family-run lab in Parsons, Kansas, and the last place on Earth to process Kodachrome. You can read my article here.

The thirtieth annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries opened over the weekend in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. During the conference, the over 4,000 participating rabbis and scholars gather for a traditional group photo. It is shot outside 770 Eastern Parkway, the former home address of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. I was there – and here are some pictures I took:
The spiritual leader of the Hasidic Chabad movement, Rabbi Schneerson hardly ever left Brooklyn, but his followers can be found around the world – from Puerto Rico to Tunisia, from Norway to Vietnam. The emissaries’ task is to serve the spiritual needs of local Jewish communities, and to encourage Jews to have ‘a deeper connection to Judaism’s rituals and faith’. Chabadnik emissaries are like missionaries, but rather than trying to convert non-Jews to Judaism (which is anathema to the Jewish faith) their mission is summed up in this statement: ‘No Jew should ever be lost to the Jewish people, no Jew must ever be lonely.’ Getting Jews to be more Jewish – or more like them – is their mission!

Lenore Skenazy has posted my article about Halloween scare stories on her blog, Free Range Kids. Lenore was called ‘America’s Worst Mom’ simply for letting her nine-year-old son take the subway alone, something I did all the time when I was growing up. Her site is a great challenge to the idea that childhood is inherently dangerous, and it shows that being overprotective is bad for both kids and parents.

Johan Linander, a Swedish MP of the Centre Party and deputy chair of the Committee on Justice, has responded to my Expressen article on vetting. Read his response (in Swedish) here.
Linander has proposed that private child minding companies should be obliged to run criminal records checks on their staff in order to ‘protect children’. In his response he also says individuals who wish to work or volunteer with children, for instance at parent cooperatives, pre-schools and sports clubs, should be able to withdraw partial rather than complete criminal records. This is in order to protect individuals’ privacy while still allowing organisations and parents to find out whether those individuals have previously been convicted of child abuse.
Linander says the Centre Party does not want a UK-style surveillance system. That’s good, but encouraging all organisations that engage children to treat adults as paedophiles until proven otherwise entrenches a deep feeling of suspicion and distrust across society. It also erodes vigilance and personal responsibility to care for one’s own and others’ children, as this gets replaced by a state-issued seal of approval that in any case cannot fully guarantee safety for children.
As in the UK, increased regulation of adult-child relations in Sweden is likely to make well-meaning adults nervous about interacting with kids for fear of being suspected of paedophilia. Allowing parents and organisations to make individual decisions about who to entrust their children with would be a better approach.

An investigative article series about child minding companies in Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet has prompted an MP and child protectionists to call for stricter vetting procedures.
