All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Aubrey (2x12)

Danny knew he wasn’t supposed to prioritize his work based on favoritism, and he really tried not to.

Tried being the operative word.

It brought him a little comfort knowing he wasn’t alone; every department would pay extra attention when the work on their desks was assigned by Special Agents Mulder and Scully. Hell, even the rookie pathologist they just hired in the forensics lab was putting in overtime so he could impress them with his quick turnaround. Last week he caught the young redhead poring over Scully’s field report as if it was a love letter addressed to him.

The Spookys’ cases were the highlight of everyone’s work week. Even if the results were inconclusive, their cases often entailed exploring areas of research the pathologists seldom had an opportunity to. It could be frustrating when they felt like they didn’t get an answer that the Spookys were looking for, but usually, it was those phone calls where the agents seemed the most excited, much to everyone else's confusion. Sometimes the labs felt like an underground betting ring trying to figure out why they asked for a given report.

Usually all types of cases followed routine procedures. The lab would analyze evidence found at the home and scene of the abduction, then they would run background reports on people affiliated with the victim and known criminals who fit a stereotypical m.o., etcetera, etcetera. It was interesting work, but quickly became repetitive after the thousandth fiber analysis.

With the X-Files, no one knew what to expect. One day they’d ask for DNA to be run on a suspect only for it to come back as a dead person, the next they’d ask for data on the 1818 census in a completely different state. Working in the lab felt like helping them put together a puzzle while blindfolded. The catch was, you never got to see the end picture until their case reports were finalized, and even then, the final image was abstract beyond recognition.

I had a mix tape when I was a little kid with this performance of this song on it, and I loved it so much I would just rewind and rewind and rewind to listen to it over and over. It’s goofy as fuck, and then gets suddenly very sincere at the end, and I always used to get emotional at the line that gets whispered in his ear. I lost that tape a long, long time ago. But the internet is a magical and mystical place, and I just found the exact live bootleg recording of the song, and it made me so happy I had to share it. Enjoy.

From the Museum’s artifact collection:

Daniel Bernstein (1897-1935), a dentist and World War I veteran. Daniel received an appointment to West Point in 1921, but resigned after a year due to “lack of funds.” He was only 38 when he died due to complications in surgery. His obituary in the Judaic Union Bulletin described him as a confident and generally light-hearted fellow.

Family lore tells that Daniel’s father Henry was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandparents in what was then Palestine. After traveling in his youth, he and his wife emigrated from Russia. He had a cigar shop in Philadelphia and raised three children: Daniel, Mitchell, and Sarah.

Daniel, Sarah, and Henry rest in the Mount Carmel Cemetery.

A Jewish member of the student government at University of California, Santa Cruz was warned to “abstain” from voting on a pro-BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement) resolution because he is the president of the school's Jewish Student Union and was “elected with a Jewish agenda.”

The incident occurred prior to a vote by the UCSC student council to annul a veto an earlier Israel divestment bill. On Nov. 17, the UCSC voted 28 in favor and five against, with seven abstaining, to reinstate a divestment resolution that was vetoed in 2014.

In a text message sent to UC Santa Cruz Jewish Student Union (JSU) President Daniel Bernstein, the sender wrote, “You will be abstaining, as the president of JSU that is the right thing.”

“There was also a comment tonight that you were elected by a..hmm Idk if these are the right words but let’s say…a Jewish agenda,” the text message added.

In response, Bernstein posted on Facebook, “The implication that I, as a Jewish student and leader in the Jewish community, should not be allowed to vote on an issue that so deeply impacts the Jewish community, and that I should abstain because I cannot be trusted due to an alleged, ‘Jewish agenda,’ echoes the racism Jews have faced all over the world throughout our history.”

“I am calling on the leadership at UC Santa Cruz, from the student level on up to start taking concrete action to get the anti-Semitism at this campus under control,” Bernstein wrote.

The controversial incident at UCSC is just the latest of its kind involving a Jewish student at a California school. In February, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) student Rachel Beyda was asked if her Jewishness could be a “conflict of interest” when she applied to be a member of UCLA’s student judicial board. A similar incident also took place at Stanford University this year, when student senate candidate Molly Horwitz’s Jewish background was called into question.

“It is deeply disturbing that on a campus that claims to be so dedicated to opposing racism, Jewish students are still subjected to classic anti-Semitic slurs and marginalized because of their involvement in the Jewish community,” Roz Rothstein, CEO and co-founder of the pro-Israel education group StandWithUs, said in a statement.

“The anti-Israel extremism of BDS has contributed to the rise of anti-Jewish racism across the UC system, and hopefully this incident will serve as yet another urgent wake up call to the leaders of the university. This highlights the need for college campuses to adopt the State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism,” Rothstein said.

Andy Borans, executive director of the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), described the incident against Bernstein—who is a member of AEPi—as “blatant anti-Semitism.”  

“When a student like Daniel Bernstein, a democratically elected student representative, is told that he should abstain from a vote affecting the entire campus community because he is a Jewish student, we must not sit idly by,” Borans said.

He added, “We call on the UC Regents and the Santa Cruz community to take a stand against anti-Semitism and provide a safe environment for all students.”

Correction: Obit-Dick Van Patten story

NEW YORK (AP) — In a story June 23 on the death of Dick Van Patten, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Daniel Bernstein was Van Patten's publicist. In fact, he was a former publicist for the actor. Van Patten's publicist at the time of his death was Jeffrey Ballard. http://dlvr.it/BKlqBh

[This] is definitely an urban, trend-setting business district. The trends start in Fordham and then branch out. The people are also very community-oriented and only want to improve their neighborhood by working with the city.
