Chris Thurmond will be promoted to defensive coordinator on Rice coach David Bailiff's staff, a person familiar with the decision-making process told the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday.
Thurmond spent last season as cornerbacks coach.
The Owls also plan to hire Larry Hoefer as safeties coach and promote David Sloan to tight ends coach, the person said on the condition of anonymity.
Sloan spent the past two seasons as defensive/special teams quality control coach.
Hoefer most recently served as defensive coordinator, safeties and linebackers coach at Baylor. He's also been defensive coordinator at UTEP and Missouri and was linebackers coach at Texas Tech in the 1990s.

Not as many dead blackbirds in Arkansas town this year
BEEBE, Ark. (AP) -- Authorities in a central Arkansas town say about 100 blackbirds died on New Year's Eve after being spooked by fireworks, far less than the thousands that perished there a year ago.
Beebe police Lt. Brian Duke said Sunday that officials asked local residents who were celebrating the year's end to stop setting off fireworks after blackbirds again started flying into objects and each other.
The state Game and Fish Commission says someone appears to have targeted a blackbird roost this year and that there was evidence of fireworks at the roost.
Large numbers of migrating blackbirds roost in the community northeast of Little Rock. Last year, fireworks were blamed after thousands of birds were rousted from their roosts and flew into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.

that is what I wonder about too.
Should I stay or should I go?
Stay using Lupu 528-005
or upgrade to latest Lupu 5286?
Or should I follow the recommendation
of Barry Kauler and opt for latest Slacko?
or some other Puppy variant?
Why I stay with Lupu 528-005?
I have put it's Cache on /Home
and it's .mozilla on /Home
and if I get a new Puppy with Firefox
would it not make a mess of my beloved set up
of all the other programs I am so used to.
I would have to start all over with Viewnior
and Geeque and all the other programs
and it took me months to set them up
and I have no clue how to do that again.
That is why I stay with the older version of Lupu.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Yes, nooby.
Stay, don't move.
Everything, everyone is moving forward, forward, forward; newer, newer, newer.
I think it's Time to stay and to keep things.
To move sucks, to stay is pretty cool.
We are all moving too much and too many. Not only personally, but also globally by moving products all over and around the world - except: Human Rights.
Human Rights should be the one and only product, that should be moved all over and around the world - at least for one or two decades, I think.
So, keep staying!

Slacko is astoundingly well supported compared to most other distributions, even Precise is not close to Slacko.
That said, I would like to see more Puppy distributions robustly support yum and apt-get out of box. Much as I like the SFS and PET distribution mechanisms, a tiny fraction of Linux packages are ever re-packaged as PETs.

Post subject: Bluetooth moue
Can anybody introduce me to a puppy that bluetooth works out of the box? The reason I ask this is because I have a bluetooth mouse and I don't know how to get bluetooth working even after reading several pages.

I have found a puppy that has bluetooth and it works with my bluetooth mouse. Thanks to CsipeszPup!
Precise 5.7.1 retro "CsipeszPup" released
The bluetooth.sfs that csipesz provided also worked with his lupu xp. Nice!
But I tried bluetooth.sfs with precise puppy xfce based and it doesn't work unfortunately. The taskbar disappears in xfce when bluetooth.sfs is loaded.
Anyway, it is so good to know that I don't have to turn to full ubuntu linux to get a linux that has bluetooth function.

Post subject: Which is best for HP Mini?
Subject description: Need lightweight puppy which has a kernel that I can get Skype to work on
I generally use 3HD or Fatdog. However I want to find a Puppy that loads and goes quick on this old netbook but is up to date enough to run Skype. MS$ has cut off users of older versions of Skype.
Spec are: HPMini 110-3500; Intel Atom N550 @ 1.5GHz; 1GB ram.
The supplied Windows 7 Starter is especially horrible on this machine!
Suggestions please?

My personal favorites are Carolina and X-Slacko.
Carolina has Skype 4.3, which I think is the latest version on Linux.
Many Carolina packages work on X-Slacko, but for Skype i don't know as I have not tried.

Subject description: Only has 1GB Ram
Thanks yerc1. Carolina ISO is 3/400 MB, which gets expanded on loading. It might be a tight fit in a 1GB Ram machine? Running it from HDD is likely to be un-Puppy slow. I will have a look at x_slacko.

No worries Snail.
Carolina (the main edition) is indeed bulkier than most puppies, and that's due to LibreOffice being included. The size difference aside, it is as quick as any other puppy.
If you are not into LibreOffice, there's a Carolina light edition (Carolite) with just the basic building block which you can then turn into your own Carolina by adding apps from their regularly updated repo.
Both run nicely on my Acer Aspire One 532h netbook with just 1 Gb ram.
And I'm talking about frugal install and usb install.
If however, you decide on X-Slacko based on size, I'm sure you will be one happy user.
It's the third frugal and usb install I have.
All the best.

I'm looking for a puplet that has the following:
-new chrome and flash
-SNS or another *very* simple wireless wizard
-opengl drivers that would work with a ~3-4 year old Quaddro graphics card, DVI out.
-preferably gnumeric
-cups, with
or the
Brother drivers for the DCP7065DN
-icewm/jwm/other Start-menu based wm with files on the desktop
Yes, this is standard, but there are a few exceptions.
-ath9k_htc module for AR9271 usb wireless (or zd1211rw for said chip)
I'd like something that fits on a cd, the smaller the better. 64-bit or pae optional.
For background, my family's PC runs Windows 7 Professional; my brother built it himself for a CAD class. Hardware is as follows:
CPU- K8-family 3-core with the fourth core unlocked, overclocked to 4+ Ghz.
GPU- Quaddro (I forget if it was 1000 or 200)
Disk- Revo SSD (50GB or 100GB) and WD HDD (512GB)
Optical- 1 CD/DVD burner.
Either a disk took a dump or something happened to the boot record, so it's not booting.
I'm looking for a live cd I can give to my mother to work on taxes. Technically a DVD would work, except that I'll need to boot a live cd to ram, download the iso to ram, and burn it to disk. My mom does not like computers or learn them quickly (she used a PC in the 1980s for accounting, and thinks of things in terms of the dangers of that era), but has used Windows some. Her usual browser is Chrome.

I was using Precise 5.7.1, but felt the desire to upgrade. So I went to Tahr 6, but could never resolve my sound card issue. Caroline (beautiful, btw) wouldn't let me online (Slacko gives me fits too), Xslack brought me back to the sound card issue.
Simplicity? I just flat-out hated Simplicity.
So I delta'd to Precise 5.72, and I suppose I could carry on in that vein for a while...
[edit] I can't get the network setup to work in regular Slackware either, so it's no surprise that it won't work in derivatives. My computer is such a touchy old POS that no one should be embarrassed or feel the need to offer advice.

Future Directions for Arctic Research Logistics – Workshop Summary
The "Future Directions for Arctic Research Logistics" workshop, funded by the NSF Research Support and Logistics (RSL) program, was held 7-9 October in Arlington, Virginia (see also the spring Witness article).
The workshop was held to discuss strategies and recommendations for future Arctic research support and logistics. Despite the U.S. government shutdown, 62 participants attended from a diverse range of disciplines and perspectives. The workshop was structured around breakout group discussions on:
- A shared vision of future logistics support.
- Logistics needs for Arctic domains (terrestrial, marine, ice sheets, atmosphere, and social sciences).
- Platforms and regions (Alaska, Greenland, marine operations, ice camps, and autonomous platforms).
- Cross-cutting issues (interagency coordination, international coordination, coordination of field opportunities and assets, capacity building, and maximizing safety/minimizing risk).
- Synthesis and prioritization.
The goal of the discussions was to develop a suite of specific, actionable steps for developing logistics support to best serve Arctic science over the next decade. Products from the workshop will include a workshop report, a brief highlights flyer, and an open webinar that summarizes the workshop findings.
More information about the workshop, including the final agenda, participant list, plenary presentations, and background information, can be found through the workshop website.

Democratic Party on Health Care
Party Platform
As a result of our efforts, today, young Americans entering the workforce can stay on their parents' plans. Insurers can no longer refuse to cover kids with pre-existing medical conditions. Insurance companies will no longer be able to arbitrarily cap and cancel coverage, or charge women more simply because of their gender.
Soon, working families will finally have the security of knowing they won't lose health care or be forced into bankruptcy if a family member gets sick or loses their job. And soon, insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
The Republican budget plan would end Medicare as we know it. Democrats adamantly oppose any efforts to privatize or voucherize Medicare; unlike our opponents we will not ask seniors to pay thousands of dollars more every year while they watch the value of their Medicare benefits evaporate. Democrats believe that Medicare is a sacred compact with our seniors. Nearly 50 million older Americans and Americans with disabilities rely on Medicare each year, and the new health care law makes Medicare stronger by adding new benefits, fighting fraud, and improving care for patients. And, over 10 years, the law will save the average Medicare beneficiary $4,200.
In the wealthiest, most powerful nation on earth, no one should have to choose between taking their child to a doctor and paying the rent. Democrats are committed to making sure every single American has access to affordable, effective health care coverage. We want to fix the disastrous Medicare Part D and ensure our seniors can afford their prescription drugs.
We also believe in investing in life saving stem cell and other medical research that offers real hope for cures and treatment for millions of Americans.
Cutting health care costs. At the center of our efforts will be a plan to reduce health costs. We will lift a financial burden on families, businesses, and the self-employed by picking up the tab for the highest-cost medical cases. That will save America's families up to $1,000 on their premiums.

I don't know if I forgot to tell you, but as of the 21st of January, 2014 I left Japan. Anyway I thought it'd be nice to leave you with a FUQ, or Frequently Unasked Questions.
Well as you know from reading my blog (you've been reading it? WOW), I've been here close to seven years, and things have been plateauing for a few years. I'm getting older. Over the years a few of my relatives have passed away, and I value the time I have with my immediate family. Recent events have also fast-tracked my planned departure date.
No, not at all! With amazing technologies like Skype, it felt like friends and family were in my room at any time. There are also heaps of free wifi hotspots. It's much better than the bad old days of phone cards and Internet cafes.
Yeah, of course. I'd like to have had more opportunities to advance in the company. I applied for management/training positions and I wasn't considered. I wish I really learnt Japanese. I should've persued my music dreams harder. I'd like if some people were kinder. That'll do. Can't stop 'dem regrets you know!
The SMOKING. I am not a smoker. Japan has it backwards. You can smoke in bars and restaurants but outside you can't. WTF? Tax the f**k out of those cigarettes too!
OLD PEOPLE - Now don't get me wrong I don't hate them per sé. It's just that I think old people generally don't like foreigners "changing" Japan. This goes for a**hole police officers, and is it a coincidence all the taxi drivers are senior citizens? I rest my case. Actually they often leave seats beside me free on the train. I guess it's not all bad.
SPITTING - Is it so hard to f**king swallow? It's worse in winter when your footpath gunk doesn't evaporate. It just stays there forever. Gross.
BLOCKING FOOTPATHS - Do you have to walk/stand in a "wall of stupid" making it difficult to walk or ride past? I used to use my bad squealing brakes to make people sh*t themselves. Hilarious.
BANKS & PHONE COMPANIES - Now I'm sure there were other so-called businesses, but these two really annoyed me. SIM locked phones? docomo changed tack when they got the iPhone. Shame shame shame. Banks charging after hours and transfer fees really sucked. OH, and piss poor bank interest. Thanks for nothing UFJ.
SHOGANAI - This means "it can't be helped". To me this means Japanese people compromise too much so that the above companies and more get what their greedy minds want. Sure, packed trains can't be helped. I'll let you have that one.
Well, it's going to sound horribly cliché but the food is awesome; I hate flowers, but the cherry blossoms "affect" me; the Japanese girls are super pretty and more approachable (gonna miss the bikini girls of Summer); the plentiful cheap and accessible alcohol, and drinking in public; the wonderful music shops with beautiful instruments (new and used). I'm really going to miss my friends AND my best friend :(
YEAH! As a tourist, Japan is unlike any other country I've been to. Actually it's like another planet. Japanese people are very friendly and accommodating to tourists. You'll feel very welcome.
Now this one is harder to answer. WHY do you want to work in Japan? I had someone tell me, "I don't know". Now THAT I see as the wrong reason. Life will seem better when you are arrive, but it will progressively get worse. Anything that is wrong with your life will be amplified. You'll be looking for substitutes of all the good stuff you'll miss. I say YES if you can speak Japanese or have a very strong will to learn the language. Use the visa to do something BETTER.
Japanese people will treat you differently, or you'll see them differently when you've been here a while too.
I wish I knew, then I might have left earlier! For me, the right time is to go before you end up hating the place. It's when you realise that you have a job here, not a career. It's before you get "stuck" here either through marriage or being too lax to go. Once the roots start growing it gets harder to cut down the tree.
In the past I think I suggested using Go Lloyds. GoRemit (Shinsei Bank) took over their services, and should be the equivalent. I actually used Japan Post Bank this time. You can take out cash from your account and do a 口座あて送金 telegraphic transfer (2,500 yen for any amount), which takes a week to get in your account. Just don't mess up the information! Don't bring lots of cash on the plane. Banks don't like dealing with paper money.
I'm not sure. I wouldn't mind teaching English here but I don't know if my time actually counts for much. I could go back to my old job. I could be a rockstar. LOL. Right now I'm in a bit of limbo. Getting over my "lost weekend" and trying to join the real world.
Well that's all the questions I can think of right now. I want to thank all the people that have stuck with me all these years with my blog. It's nice that it wasn't for nothing. If you have any other questions or want to say hi leave a comment. I'm not dead yet.
I hope I gave you a good FUQ

Resident Card
Since July 2012, Japan changed their residency management system. Instead of the Alien Registration Card ("gaijin" card), new arrivals would be issued with a new Resident Card. Generally speaking some details are not directly written on the card itself but on an IC chip. Also, things like re-entry permit stamps are going to be a thing of the past.
Now I don't actually need to do this until my visa renewal, but considering what I'll be doing shortly I've decided to take the fun trip down to Shinagawa to get dat card! I arrived at the immigration office at about 11am. I was thinking I was getting there late but surprisingly it only took about 40 minutes! Maybe because it was a day predicted to snow everyone stayed away *booya!*
You can pick up a form for the new card at the information desk as you walk in. They are actually in a tray so you don't even really need to line up. (If you LOSE your card you have to ask for another kind of form though). Around the corner you can take your photo at a photo booth for 700 yen. I did the photo myself in photoshop and printed it out for 30 yen instead :) Oh, bring a pen when you go. I had a hell of a time asking people to lend me a pen. No one helped me out ^$*#^!!
Once that's done go to the 2nd level D line which you can use the easy to follow guide line on the floor! If you leave Japan you don't have to pretend you lost it to keep the card. They'll actually let you keep it as a present but they punch a hole in the card to invalidate it. YAY!

Two Towers Part 2 - Tokyo Tower
After the Skytree I knew the Tokyo Tower would pale in comparison.
The Tokyo Tower's highest "special" observatory (+600 yen) is still only 250m high. The main observatory (820 yen) is 150m. Even at the top height it's only marginally higher than the nearby Midtown Tower. Unlike the Skytree it's essential to go to the top level.
Built in 1958, the tower is definitely showing its age. The windows look "fuzzy". Taking the best photos was more of a challenge. I was really spoilt by the Skytree's newness :( Still there are some good views out to Odaiba, and like the Skytree you'll be able to see Mt Fuji at sunset.
If you have a choice go to the Tokyo Skytree. The view is MUCH better. Heck, even go to the Metropolitan Government building. It's free! The Tokyo Tower really needs a
renewal renovation, a complete makeover.
BUT to say something good about it, the Tokyo Tower is more beautiful than the Skytree even though it ripped off the Eiffel Tower's good looks. It's also substantially brighter lit. Maybe being more residential out in Oshiage they didn't want a "Christmas tree" shining in their windows every night. I kind of wish the Skytree was a bit more central rather than out where it is. They should've knocked this one down ("jokingu").

The FCC did not fully trust the spectrum-sensing technology that will be built into so-called "white spaces" wireless devices, but it did approve their use in unused bits of the TV band so long as each device queried a special geolocation database before transmitting. White spaces backers including Dell, HP, Google, Microsoft, and Motorola have today announced the formation of the White Spaces Database Group to address the issue.
When the FCC voted to allow the controversial devices back in November 2008, it wanted to make absolutely sure that the signals did not interfere with television broadcasts or wireless microphones. It conditioned approval on a "belt-and-suspenders" approach to dealing with interference, one that used spectrum-sensing technology to find open channels but backed up its own sensing with a geographic database of known broadcasters.
On startup, white spaces devices will query the database with their current location (likely gleaned from GPS or cell phone triangulation) and will receive in response a list of area frequencies that are not to be used, even if the device's own scanner thinks they are clear.
But no details about the database were given, so it's not currently clear how this will work or who will run it. With companies like Motorola hoping to bring first-generation devices to market by the end of 2009, white spaces backers certainly need to start moving on the database issue or manufacturers could find themselves with warehouses full of transmitters that can't be sold.
The new White Spaces Database Group will try to hash out some standards for the database, then send them along to the FCC with the goal of having this all ready in time for the hardware's launch. Google's Rick Whitt, a former MCI exec who worked on last year's 700MHz auction and the white spaces issue, said today that the group would work toward open formats.
Put simply, we'll advocate for data formats and protocols that are open and non-proprietary, with database administration that is also open and non-exclusive.
"Many of these specifications ultimately will be heavily technical," he said on Google's blog. "Put simply, we'll advocate for data formats and protocols that are open and non-proprietary, with database administration that is also open and non-exclusive. We don't plan to become a database administrator ourselves, but do want to work with the FCC to make sure that a white spaces database gets up and running."
In addition to the big players, the group also includes smaller members Comsearch and Neustar, though there does not appear to be any involvement from broadcasters or other groups who worry about white spaces deployment.
The FCC, which has already committed to taking the white spaces effort global, will no doubt want to see the database up and running sooner rather than later.

From a Sex and Electronics article: "Women buy 57% of consumer electronics (to the tune of about $80B), but influence 90% of all CE purchases." I find those numbers shocking.
But I am not married. The figures are from CEA and Best Buy respectively, and were presented at a panel at CES on Sex and Electronics and how to design gadgets for women. Their list of how to improve gadgets for women are incidentally not all that different from a list of improvements that all gadget makers need to adhere by, regardless of the stereotypical sex their marketing team is targeting in sales.

Whilst perusing your fashion notes from all over, please be advised that New York City's new First Lady, Donna Hanover Giuliani, was the only woman in red at Carroll Petrie's smart little dinner at home for Nancy Reagan, now in New York on her way to Washington. And it was bright red, too, standing out like a beacon in a sea of black. Dear Donna.
Not that the black dresses — and pants — weren't beautiful; we're talking about a fashion-conscious group here. Chic Nancy wore a beautiful jacket embroidered in beads and jet, the same color as the caviar pie served as a first course. You would have loved it — the jacket and the pie.
Carroll wore her black bell-bottom britches and a white chiffon and lace off-the-shoulder blouse. Betsy Bloomingdale was in one of her very special Galanoses, and Veronica Hearst wore one of her very special Chanels. Also kissing Nancy on both cheeks were such as Anne Cox Chambers, Virginia Coleman, Randolph Hearst, the Lawrence Huntingtons, Wendy and Bill Luers, Kay Meehan, Joan Rivers, Dixon Boardman, Joe Hannan, Paul LeClerc of the New York Public Library LeClercs, Orin Lehman, Bernard Petrie, Eben Pyne, Khalil Rizk, Alfred Taubman and Jerry Zipkin, Nancy's forever pal.
The forever pal was the only man at Cecile Zilkha's lunch at home for Nancy the next afternoon. As for the ladies, they put on a fashion show starring Nancy and Lucky Roosevelt in the same beige and brown Valentino check suit. What cries! What whispers! What laughs! Thank heaven Lucky decided to wear a sable hat with hers.
Little suits were the thing. Casey Ribicoff was in a Philippe Venet, Countess (Aline) Romanones wore a gray Valentino and Princess Firyal of Jordan was tout a fait Chanel. Brooke Astor wore her sable hat, and Lily Safra wore her velvet one. Betsy Bloomingdale wore bottle green, and Cecile wore Adolfo's yellow and black tailleur. Barbara Walters wore a black Oscar de la Renta suit with a white taffeta blouse, and Miki Sarofim was in a black Dior. Jerry Zipkin wore his old school tie — or what looked like it.
When Geena Davis got back from Helsinki, her director husband Renny Harlin's hometown, she couldn't wait to tell her peers (and her not-so-peers) how much she loves Renny's new pet name for her, "The Princess Grace of Finland." What a sweet guy.
Geena could just as well be called "The Princess Grace of Brooklyn." As the world knows, that's where she worked as a waitress at the River Cafe under the Brooklyn Bridge a few short years ago, toting trays to pay her way through acting school. Yes, and now in her latest, "Angie, I Says," she plays a gum-chewing, unwed mother right out of Bensonhurst, "dese, dem, dose" and all.
While big sister Vanessa Redgrave is currently in the news what with jaws delicately flapping over a rerun of her old romance with Franco Nero, etc., little sister Lynn Redgrave is getting set to shock. She'll show her bare bottom, whether you're ready for it or not, in a new TV series, "Calling the Shots," for the BBC. Lynn must be pretty proud of what she's managed to hang onto, so to speak, because she recently celebrated her half-century and is said to be keen on becoming a grandmama before she's much older. Just think what a treat's in store for the little ones when in future years they'll get to see their very own granny with her drawers down.
Stockard Channing, so great in "Six Degrees of Separation," says marriage is not what she's about, having been through that mill four times already. She's been living happily with her love of the last five years, film technician Daniel Gilham, and wants to keep it that way. Which still doesn't keep her pals from wondering if she'll take the fifth.
Dailey and Gordon Pattee will be giving a cocktail party at the Park Avenue apartment — the stunning one with the aubergine drawing room that you read about in Architectural Digest — on Feb. 9 for all their friends who will show up for the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center Gala on April 28 at the Waldorf. The big surprise is the guest of honor, Donna Shalala, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, as if you didn't know. What they'll all be trying to do is raise money for the new $47 million Clinical Cancer Center at the hospital. On view at the Pattees will be such as Pat and Arthur Ryan (she's the chairman of the gala; he's the president of Chase Manhattan), Dr. Phoebe Speck, Jean and Howard Clark, Toni and Chuck Peebler, Jessie and Rand Araskog, Connie Milstein Lederman (the Milsteins donated the multi-million dollar Milstein Pavilion to the hospital), like that.
Read all about the benefit auction at Christie's on March 8 and read all about it right now. It's for the Education Department of the Metropolitan Opera Guild, and the co-chairmen of the evening are Beverly Sills and Oscar de la Renta, who is designing a dress for your-special-evening-at-the-Met. Bill Blass is donating a ballgown from his spring collection,Carolina Herrera is donating one of her particularly beautiful outfits, and for the men, a suit of your choice from Sulka. So you'll be able to fit in these clothes after you buy them, the Guild is auctioning a three-month membership to the Vertical Club, a one-hour massage at the Peninsula Spa and a half-day at Georgette Klinger. If that doesn't work, throw in the towel. Placido Domingo is the honorary chairman, and the auction will feature a larger-than-life surprise from Luciano Pavarotti! Who better?
The fashion and beauty industry will turn out on Feb. 15 for Winternight '94, the annual benefit dinner-dance for The Lighthouse, honoring Liz Tilberis, the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar. Philip Miller of Saks Fifth Avenue is the chairman of the evening, which is set for the Waldorf's Ballroom. Everyone has taken a table — Bill Blass, Joseph Abboud, Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Judith Leiber, Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein, Josie Natori, Arie Kopelman, Leonard Lauder, Nicole Miller, Isaac Mizrahi, Ralph Lauren, Adrienne Vittadini and on and on and on. The ballroom will glitter because Robert Isabell is in charge, and the Michael Carney Orchestra will have them all on their feet.

Pacheco was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
Police are still searching for the woman who assaulted the mother, police said.

Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: Simon Tung's Chinatown, NYC
Locals' guides to New York neighborhoods.
Life is sweet for husband and wife team Simon Tung and Christina Ha. The first iteration of Macaron Parlour was as a pop-up, where the couple (then dating) sold their jewel-like treats at markets like the Hester Street Fair. Since then, they've tied the knot and had their first baby, a brick-and-mortar store in the East Village, where they sell their creative takes on macarons as well as a host of other pastries. When the pair get a hankering for something savory, they need look no further than their own front door, which opens up to the cacophony of flavors that is Chinatown.
Simon's Picks
Noodles: Lam Zhou Noodles is delicious, fresh and inexpensive. I first went for the experience. The moment you walk in, you'll hear the noodle dough being slammed onto the table. Though you'll have a dry mouth afterwards (MSG, perhaps?), the noodles have some great texture, plus soft braised meat and good chunks of veggies. Like most Chinatown spots, it's a no-frills joint. You want a soda with your drink? You need to grab it yourself from their soda fridge outside the restaurant.
Dumplings: Lam Zhou also has great dumplings. It's a hidden gem in there. Their dumplings are wrapped in a thin dough, which I prefer. I like the thin dough dumplings because they're crispy on the bottom and soft on top. The crisp almost has a potato chip texture. Their garlic soy sauce also helps take them to another level. For the awesomeness it does to your breath, it's not a first date meal!
Dim Sum: Jing Fong is the place to go for staple dim sum and large groups. They do everything right. The place is the largest in Chinatown and they're always packed. My parents like 88 Palace; they eat there once a week. They insist the new chefs in there are the best in the neighborhood right now. Personally, I like Nom Wah best; I visit regularly for my personal fix. Everything is made to order there, and you can definitely taste the freshness. Their style of egg rolls are supreme! No one else in Chinatown makes it like they do—it's a giant egg roll that's filled with everything you can ask for, as well as a delicate crunch. Some other dim sum joints let their egg rolls sit around until they get stale. Nom Wah's style of dim sum, you'll never have anything stale.
Roast Pork: Big Wong King has the best damn roast pork in town. Roast pork anything is awesome there—on rice, on noodles, on flat noodles, and my favorite, on their rice crepe! The caramelized pork is perfect with the rice crepe. When I order roast pork on rice, I always ask for a little more sauce in mine.
Late Night: 69 is open 24 hours. Christina always gets the oxtail on rice. It's not on their menu, but one of their waiters told me that it's their best-selling dish. Some days you'll get a portion that's tastier than other days. Christina and I have a theory that this dish is best late at night because they've reduced the sauce more and the oxtail meat is much more tender. Sometimes the meat is tough and the sauce is watered down, but when it's late at night, who's noticing? Also, it has carrots, potatoes and ginger. You might end up eating a piece of ginger, thinking it's a potato. Then you'll spit it out because I don't know anyone who eats chunks of ginger.
Wo Hop is also open 24 hours. You can eat upstairs for more authentic food, but I prefer downstairs for the typical Chinese take out eats. They make a mean spicy eggplant with minced pork dish. It's a tender eggplant with gooey brown sauce mixed with minced pork for some added texture. Just add some rice to that and you've made my day! They're all about turning out food quickly, so expect your food to come out within five minutes of ordering. Funny story: after many drunken nights of eating at Wo Hop, I started to go there earlier to have dinner with my now-wife, then-girlfriend. They knew Christina was "the one" when I kept showing up with the same girl, not drunk, and before 2 a.m.
Coffee: 12 Corners is a great small place to get a latte or cappuccino. It's the only place in Chinatown to get a good cup of coffee. There's seating and a very friendly staff.
Pork Buns: Mei Li Wah has quality Cha Sui Bao; not the clam shell pork buns, but the enclosed brioche-looking buns. They have warm buns ready to go; because they sell so many of them they're always fresh. I think it's the gold standard in Chinatown. You want good pork buns? You go there.
Stone Pot Rice: A-Wah has excellent stone pot rice dishes (often listed casseroles on menu). I always get a casserole with salted fish with chicken pieces there. If you do a take out order of one of the stone pot rice dishes, you'll actually get a stone pot with your order!
Tofu: Fong Inn Too has been there since I was a kid (I attended elementary school in Chinatown). There's always a line there. They serve fresh hot tofu with some honey. It's awesome stuff, served right out of a giant rice cooker. I pick up bot tong gao (white sugar jelly) for my sister there all the time. She's hooked on that stuff.
Groceries: New York Super Market doesn't have butter, cheese, or any American dairy products except whole milk and skim milk. What they do have is every packaged ramen you can think of, a full selection of seafood, all sorts of Asian vegetables, and a large assortment of fruits. You can find some nice inexpensive kitchen tools in there as well.
Rice Crepes: My favorite Chinese dish! There's Big Wong, as mentioned above. Nom Wah does a cruller wrapped in rice crepe. It's super fresh and comes in a nice portion size. But the rice crepes at Sun Hing Lung Co are the best damn fresh ones in Chinatown and they happen to be right next door to my building! They're available from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It really caters to kids going to school and the old folks in the neighborhood. You can add anything you want onto it: chicken, beef, pork, eggs, corn, fish balls, cilantro and scallions. The lady with the red hat makes it best. She knows the exact amount of rice crepe batter to put into the steamer. The other lady puts a bit too much batter, making the rice crepe thicker than I like, although some people might like that. They have peanut sauce, soy, hot sauce, and oyster sauce to dress your crepes. It's hands-down delicious. They run their wholesale business from there as well. I used to come home from partying at 4 a.m. or from a late night in the kitchen and see them starting their day. Bonus tip: they also sell fried tofu, fresh soy milk, bottled sweet soy milk, and a whole bunch of other things I can't read on their menu.

Japan's Abe Unveils 10.3 Trillion Yen Fiscal Stimulus: Economy
The Japanese government will spend 10.3 trillion yen ($116 billion) to drive a recovery from a recession in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's first major policy initiative to end deflation and boost growth.
About 3.8 trillion yen will be for disaster prevention and reconstruction, with 3.1 trillion yen directed to stimulating private investment and other measures, according to a statement released today by the Cabinet Office. Extra spending will increase gross domestic product by about 2 percentage points and create about 600,000 jobs, the government said.
A pick-up in China's inflation reported today highlighted a rebound in Asia's biggest economy that may aid efforts by the newly elected Abe to lead Japan out of its third recession in five years. The stimulus may heighten concern that the government's commitment to fiscal reform is slipping, adding to the risk that a public debt more than twice the size of the economy may trigger a surge in bond yields.
"Abe will probably give the economy more shots in the arm and turn a blind eye to fiscal discipline until the elections," said Hiroaki Muto, a senior economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. "There's a risk that long-term bond yields will rise unless the government takes measures to restore fiscal health."
A fiscal boost may help Abe maintain support for his Liberal Democratic Party before upper house elections in July after the yen slid through 89 per dollar today and as stocks extend a rally.
The currency was at 88.92 per dollar as of 5:29 p.m. in Tokyo after touching the weakest since June 2010. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average closed 1.4 percent higher for its ninth week of gains, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.1 percent.
Bond Yields
Japan's shorter-term bonds rallied while longer-term debt, which is more sensitive to expecations for inflation, declined, widening the yield spread between the 30-year and 5-year securities to the most since March 2010. The benchmark 10-year note rose, sending the yield down one basis point to 0.81 percent, the lowest close since Dec. 28.
The stimulus "shows a clear commitment to economic revitalization," Abe said at a press conference today in Tokyo. "These are not pork-barrel" measures.
China's December inflation was a more-than-forecast 2.5 percent as food costs climbed and infrastructure spending aided growth after a seven-quarter slowdown. Elsewhere in Asia, the South Korean won rose to a 16-month high against the dollar after the central bank kept interest-rates on hold.
In Japan, the central bank is set to adopt the 2 percent inflation target advocated by Abe, doubling its existing goal of 1 percent, without setting a deadline for achieving it, according to people familiar with central bank officials' discussions.
'Big Lift'
The stimulus will "be a big lift for Japan's economy," said Kohei Okazaki, an economist at Nomura Securities Co. in Tokyo, which this week raised its growth forecasts for Japan. "It will put more pressure on the central bank for easing because the government can push out its chest and say that it's doing what it can."
The economic challenges facing the new prime minister were highlighted by data today showing a larger-than-expected current account deficit in November. Big manufacturers are the most pessimistic in almost three years, even as a sliding yen aids exporters from Toyota Motor Corp. to Panasonic Corp.
The government will compile a 13.1 trillion yen extra budget in the current fiscal year to help pay for its stimulus package. Some of the funding will be from selling about 5 trillion yen in bonds, the Cabinet Office said. Additional bond issuance for this fiscal year will be about 8 trillion yen including a previously announced plan to sell 2.6 trillion yen in so-called bridge bonds to cover pension payments.
Debt Burden
Japan's government debt probably climbed to 237 percent of annual economic output last year, the most in the world, according International Monetary Fund estimates.
Japan's GDP shrank at an annualized 3.5 percent pace in the third quarter after contracting in the three months through June, meeting the textbook definition of a recession. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News is for a 0.6 percent contraction in the three months through December 2012, with growth in the three months to March seen at 1.6 percent.
The government said that most of the economic impact of today's stimulus will come in the fiscal year that starts in April. It did not give further details on job creation.
Child Care
The spending will include about 3.1 trillion yen for revitalizing local economies, medical services, child care and other measures, the government said. The measures to stimulate private investment will include steps to promote clean energy and energy saving. The government will also consider new measures to stabilize the currency market using the special account in the nation's foreign-exchange fund.
The total size of the economic measures will reach 20.2 trillion yen when local government and private sector contributions are taken into account, the government said. The job and GDP effects calculated by the government are based on its estimate of the overall economic impact of its policy.
Abe's extra spending will help deliver real annualized GDP growth of 3.5 percent in the second quarter of this year, Nomura said in a report this week. The brokerage raised its GDP forecast for the fiscal year starting in April to 1.8 percent from 1 percent, citing the impact of the stimulus program and improved prospects for exports with the weaker yen and a recovery in the U.S.
Elsewhere in Asia, India's factory output contracted in November as a holiday season skewed industrial production in Asia's third-largest economy.
Swiss consumer prices may have extended their longest slump in at least four decades in December, posting the 15th straight year-on-year decline, a survey showed.
The U.S. trade deficit probably narrowed to $41.3 billion in November, according to the median of 68 estimates ahead of a Commerce Department report. The government's monthly budget report, also scheduled for release today, is forecast to show a $1 billion deficit for December after an $86 billion shortfall the previous month.

27-year-old 'Mother's Daughter' singing superstar Miley Cyrus is opening up about being hounded by an Unidentified Flying Object! In an interview with designer Rick Owens for 'Interview' Magazine, Miley revealed that she's directly experienced contact with alien-life...Miley explains: "I was driving through San Bernardino with my friend, and I got chased down by some sort of UFO. I'm pretty sure about what I saw, but I'd also bought weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop, so it could have been the weed wax. ." The 'Party in the USA' star continues: "But the best way to describe it is a flying snowplow. It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too. There were a couple of other cars on the road and they also stopped to look, so I think what I saw was real. I was shaken for, like, five days. It f--ked me up..." Read Miley's full 'Interview' interview here, and let us know: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CHASED BY A UFO? WHAT ABOUT AN ALIEN TOO??? HAVE YOU EVER MET ONE???

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Arlen Specter, who spent much of his 30-year career in the U.S. Senate warning of the dangers of political intolerance, is remembered as one of Congress' best-known moderates and was a member of both major parties during his career. Now, two years after he was voted out of office, his death coincides with a finding by political scientists that Congress is more polarized than at any point since Reconstruction.
Specter, who died Sunday, even began a short-lived run for president in 1995 on a platform that warned his fellow Republicans of the "intolerant right." He lost his job after crossing political party lines to make the toughest vote he had ever cast in his career when, in 2009, he became one of three Republicans to vote for President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill.
Republican fury drove Specter to the Democratic Party, where he lost the 2010 primary.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, who served six terms in the U.S. House and as President George W. Bush's first Homeland Security secretary, said he thinks a serious third party could emerge on the national stage in 2016 without bipartisan agreement on major issues including the debt and immigration.
"I think the American public is fed up with the inability of both parties to find common ground," Ridge said Sunday.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who served four years with Specter, said Sunday that he believes moderates can still bring people together.
"It's not going to happen naturally or by accident," Casey said. "We have to work at it. ... Each individual member of Congress has to take on personal responsibility. ... He has to keep the poison out of the water to avoid the kind of demonization that happens when people debate issues."
Specter, Casey said, was one of those people who could disagree without demonizing.
The other two Republicans who supported Obama's stimulus are Maine's two U.S. senators. One of them, Olympia Snowe, announced in February that she wasn't seeking re-election. She said she was frustrated by "'my way or the highway' ideologies."
In one study of congressional polarization, University of Georgia professor of political science Keith Poole mapped the political polarization of Congress by charting votes and found that the parties are more divided than at any time since Reconstruction after drifting further apart in the last 40 years.
In one essay, Poole said there are no true moderates left in the House of Representatives, and just a handful remaining in the Senate, in contrast to the Reagan era when about half of the members of Congress could be described as moderates.

'Escape from Planet Earth': Exclusive video
In Escape from Planet Earth, a family of daring intergalactic adventurers find themselves trapped on a famously dangerous alien world. The twist: The family is from a far-away orb called Baab… and the world that lures them in is none other than Earth.
The youngest of these interplanetary crimefighters is Kip Supernova (Jonathan Morgan Heit, of Jake and the Neverland Pirates), a 9-year-old Baabian who aspires to be just like his butt-kicking Uncle Scorch (Brendan Fraser). When Scorch and Kip's dad, brainy Gary (Rob Corddry), are both marooned in Earth's Area 51, it's up to Kip to save the day — using moves he may or may not have learned from a certain future Jedi. Can the alien kid handle his first major mission? Check out the exclusive video below to find out:

Gymnast Gabby Douglas quits Iowa coach again
DES MOINES -- The gymnastics reunion between Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and coach Liang Chow lasted less than three months.
Chow confirmed that Douglas has left the gym to search for a new coach.
"She's not in the gym anymore," Chow said Wednesday in a telephone interview with The Des Moines Register. "She is searching for a new coach, I guess. We had an understanding, a tryout period. The new goal for the tryout period, try to prepare her to be in decent, good physical shape.
"When the period was over, she had to make a decision — either train here or train somewhere else. As I talked to her, I respect her opinion on her decision."
Douglas, 18, won all-around and team gold at the 2012 Olympics in London. She returned from California to train with the former Olympic women's head coach in April, eight months after initially departing Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute in West Des Moines.
Chow said Douglas left the gym last week. He directed questions about who will coach Douglas and her potential Olympic future to the agency that represents her. Neither Douglas nor her agent could immediately be reached for comment.
"I think we worked hard together," Chow said. "We achieved our goal. I think Martha (Karolyi, U.S. national team coordinator) was happy at the camp, physically and with her gymnastics skills.
"We made good progress."
The departure of Douglas from Chow's gym last August sparked questions about whether the two would work together again and the potential to make the U.S. team for the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016.
Chow, when asked if he was surprised about Douglas leaving again, offered support.
"Of course, when you work together day in and day out, you're going to miss her." he said. "I want her next chapter to be a successful one."

Erik Buell Racing has quietly been "tipping" sites off to the fact that Buell's record label, Rat Pak Records, is selling t-shirts for a Erik Buell Racing 1190RS motorcycle. What is the 1190RS you ask? "The 1190RS will be the new street bike from Erik Buell Racing! The design is currently in the pre-production / testing stage and is not yet available for public sale," says the website (Asphalt & Rubber brought you the first teaser of the 1190RS way back in July). However, a video of the pre-pre-production 1190RS will be up on September 14th, officially making this a teasing of a teaser video (are you still with us?).
Before you Buell fans start getting all in a tizzy, we have to break the news that the hype being generated about the EBR 1190RS is more about raising money for Erik Buell Racing, than announcing an upcoming motorcycle. Erik Buell & Co. have been making the rounds to investors looking for capital to build-out its production line, reportedly with little success. With a company built around a "never say die" attitude, Erik Buell hasn't given up looking for cash (buy more t-shirts people!), and the 1190RS announcement is a way for EBR to show that there is a market demand for its motorcycles. Once the market is proven to exist, EBR is hoping investors will then open up their wallets.

HDD Pictures of Kitchen Cupboards Application, It Is Not So Hard
The kitchen cupboards are used for saving so many things in the kitchen area which are used for cooking. We know that there are so many kinds of kitchen equipment which you have to save there. That is why; the cupboards are needed as the saving place in the right way. So, we will show you how to manage the cupboard with the good idea so that the decoration can be supported by having the application of the cupboard.
The first consideration which you have to deal when you re selecting the kitchen cupboards is the size of the kitchen. It will be impossible thing to do if you apply the kitchen in the small size with the large cupboard. It will make the room look full. So, the good management is needed here.
In the right placement of the kitchen cupboards, there are several things which you have to remember. The lighting may not be blocked by the cupboard application. Of course you need the space in the distance of the lamp there. So, the good solution for this placement is by putting it in the corner of the room so that the lamp cannot be blocked. This is the important idea for you to know.

Is Joe Miller Finished?
A pretty stunning new poll of Alaska's Senate race shows Joe Miller, the Republican candidate and clear favorite since his primary win, suddenly dropping to third place. And third place is a bad place to be, days before an election.
The poll shows Sen. Lisa Murkowski, whom Miller vanquished in his August primary with the help of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, presumably taking the lead as "write-in candidates" — effectively meaning her — got 34% of support. Democrat Scott McAdams is in second with 29%, and old has-been Joe Miller is now at 23%.
This is probably related to the various small- and medium-sized scandals that have popped up day after day as Miller undergoes a late vetting process. Among them: When his terrifying hired goons handcuffed and detained some local journalist in a hallway; his admission that he used — and lied about using — government computers for political purposes when he was a part-time public employee (although this may have erupted after the poll was taken); his strange, whiny public declaration about how he'd stop talking to the media forever; his hypocritical take on government benefits not being constitutional while he and his wife lived off of them; and maybe some other stuff that only Alaskans will ever know.
Basically, a lot of voters woke up one morning in the past week and decided that this Joe Miller is kind of an ass. Maybe other polls will show the race a bit closer, but there are some ugly fundamentals in this poll that seem to back up Miller's nosedive to a measly 23%. Specifically: 8% of voters feel "somewhat negative" towards Miller, while 60% feel "very negative" towards him. That's a horrible, horrible number — in Christine O'Donnell territory! But no one ever expected her to win shit.
So who knows, now. It seems some race-watchers think Miller will still pull it off, because many of the right-leaning folks who planned on writing-in "Lisa Murkowski" will just get lazy and check the Miller box. This is plausible. Humans are known to be lazy.

DailyDirt: To Seek Out New Life...
from the urls-we-dig-up deptThe Earth's biosphere has some incredible diversity, and biologists have hardly even begun to scratch the surface. There used to be just the Plant and Animal Kingdoms, and then there were as many as six "kingdoms of life" -- but recent discoveries have made the classification of eukaryotes a bit messy for biologists to agree upon. Here are some examples of a couple of strange species and an ambitious project to create a virtual biosphere that could become as intricate as the one we live in.
- Spongiforma squarepantsii is a recently discovered fungus that looks like a sponge (but doesn't live under the sea). It looks like biologists need more formal naming conventions. [url]
- Bacteria that can live on pure caffeine were found in a nice flowerbed in Iowa. And researchers have isolated the enzymes that can metabolize caffeine -- potentially to be used in a new "organic" way to remove caffeine from coffee/tea. [url]
- Steve Grand isn't trying to discover new life in the real world. He's trying to build virtual lifeforms from "complex networks of virtual brain cells and biochemical reactions and genes." The final product will be a video game called Grandroids -- virtually descended from Grand's popular 1996 game, Creatures. [url]
