NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 25, 2010) - Like a number of ETSU athletic teams this weekend the Buccaneer men's tennis team will head over to Music City today as head coach Yaser Zaatini's squad opens a three-match road trip with a 2 p.m. contest Friday at Atlantic Sun Conference foe Lipscomb.
ETSU (8-7, 5-1 A-Sun) travels to Nashville after splitting a pair of league contests last weekend against USC Upstate and Campbell. The 60th-ranked Bucs lost a heartbreaking 4-3 match against the 54th-ranked Spartans, while outlasting the Fighting Camels 6-1. In fact, the loss to Upstate was the first-ever A-Sun regular season match that ETSU has dropped, while the defeat also ended the Bucs 38-match league winning streak and 47-match home court winning streak at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.
Individually, junior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) has been one of the most productive players since rejoining the lineup after an injury.
Since coming back Bottoni has picked up a pair of strong straight set victories. Last Friday the Bois Guillaume, France native earned a 6-1, 6-4 win over Jack Roux, while defeating CU's Louksas Wallart a day later 6-1, 6-3.
Lipscomb (4-7, 1-4 A-Sun) welcomes the Bucs to the Lipscomb Tennis Center after falling to in-state rival Austin Peay 4-3 Wednesday. Overall, LU has lost eight out of its last 10 matches.
Individually, freshman Colby Saw leads the Bisons with a 6-2 singles record, with a team-best 4-1 mark in A-Sun play.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 2, 2004) - Sophomore Oscar Posada (Valencia, Venezuela) ranks seventh in the ITA Mideast Region as named by the ITA Mideast Regional Committee.
Posada broke into the national rankings earlier with a preseason ranking of 105. He went on to have a strong fall performance, compiling a 10-4 singles record. During this period, Posada became the first Buccaneer to compete in the main draw of an ITA national tournament since Gustavo Gomez in 2000 when he won three qualifying matches to advance to the main draw of the ITA Icy/Hot ITA All-American Tournament. In the main draw, Posada won his first match against No. 14 Alex Slovic from the University of Washington but then fell to No. 60 John Isner.
Posada also saw success in his freshman campaign, as he helped the ETSU squad achieve a prefect 13-0 record in Southern Conference play and their third NCAA team championship appearance in school history.
At the SoCon Men's Tennis Championship he went undefeated and was named the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Posada was also named the SoCon's Freshman of the Year and was named to the Southern Conference All-Conference first team in both singles and doubles.
His overall record of 27-10 in singles includes a 20-4 record in dual competition playing at the No. 1 and 2 slots for the Bucs. His wins include matches against opponents from No. 54 UT, No. 53 Louisville, and No. 56 Old Dominion as well as individually ranked No. 77 Andrew Hamar of Wake Forest 5-7, 6-4, (13-11).
Posada and the Buccaneer men's tennis team await the start of the regular season on January 21 in Richmond, Va. The men's tennis team finished the 2004 season ranked 68th in the ITA National Team Rankings. Weekly national rankings for individuals and teams will resume on January 11, 2005.

Skin Cancer by the Numbers: It's the Most Common Cancer of All
Here are some statistics about skin cancer and tips for staying safe.
- One in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer at some point in life, according to skincancer.org.
- There are four common types of skin cancers, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
- Actinic Keratoses is a precancerous growth that forms on the skin after a lot of sun exposure. This looks like scaly, dry patches on the skin.
- Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It develops after years of sun exposure or indoor tanning and looks like a flesh-colored, pearly bump or pink patch of skin.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer and appears as firm, red nodules or flat, scaly lesions.
- Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It usually develops from a mole or dark patch of skin. Look for dark moles that have irregular shape, color or size. On average, one person dies every hour because of melanoma.
Anyone can develop skin cancer, regardless of age, sex or race. However, the majority of people with skin cancer are white men over 55, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
- Skin cancer is the third most common type of cancer for women, after breast and thyroid cancer.
- People with fair skin have an increased chance of skin cancer because their skin has less pigment, which means less protection from the sun.
- Indoor tanning increases your chances of developing skin cancer by 67 percent, according to the SCF.
- Skin cancer can be treated if it's caught early. If it is caught at the beginning stages, the five-year survival rate is over 98 percent, according to cancer.net.
- If skin cancer spreads to lymph nodes or other organs, survival rates decrease to below 18 percent.
- Stay in the shade. The sun is strongest between 10 a.m.-3 p.m., so avoid the sun during these hours.
- Sunscreen takes about 15 minutes to become effective.
- Other factors that can increase your chance of skin cancer include:
o Family history of skin cancer
o Weakened immune systems
o Exposure to radiation or chemicals
o History of sunburns
o Excessive sun exposure
o Living at a higher elevation and thus being exposed to more radiation

Well, he is certainly green, but he's not a frog... he's one of Australia Zoo's gorgeous Fijian Crested Iguana.
Kermit is an absolutely amazing looking animal. We are very fortunate to have Fijian Crested Iguanas here at Australia Zoo, especially given they are amongst the most critically endangered lizards on the planet.
His keepers say Kermit is just great, he loves heading out of his enclosure and being in the spotlight when it's his turn in our daily photo sessions.
He is so photogenic that he has just become the newest addition to our Adopt an Animal initiative, just in time for us to celebrate the greenest day of the year, St Patrick's Day!

Intracellular calcium is essential for stable thrombus formation – the role of STIM1
Suche in Medline nach
|20. Mai 2011
Introduction: Myocardial infarction and stroke are two of the leading causes of mortality and with the worldwide growing life expectations more and more patients with cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases and with the need of lifetime anticoagulation undergo surgery. All antithrombotics available at present have, however, the major side effect of increasing bleeding risk - especially important in the case of surgery. Therefore, a better understanding of platelet function and thrombus formation is required in order to develop new antithrombotics.
Intracellular calcium is known to be of pivotal importance for platelet activation. Its role in thrombus formation in vivo, however, is unclear. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a calcium sensor in the major intracellular calcium store, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon calcium release from the ER, a central event in platelet activation, it opens the calcium channels in the plasma membrane, thereby further increasing the intracellular calcium concentration.
Materials and methods: Using knock-out mice intracellular calcium measurements were performed. Further using a tail bleeding time assay and a chemical injury in vivo thrombosis model of mesenteric arteries, we have investigated the role of STIM1 and calcium in thrombus formation.
Results: Platelets lacking STIM1 show ~90% reduced calcium entry following platelet activation. This results in severely defective thrombus formation in vivo (8 of 10 arteries occluded in wild-type mice vs. 9 of 10 arteries remained open in knockout mice) with only minor influence on bleeding time (28 of 30 wild-type mice vs. 20 of 31 knockout mice stop bleeding within 10 minutes).
Conclusion: In conclusion we can say that STIM1 is the main regulator of calcium influx in platelets and this process is essential for stable thrombus formation in vivo. Importantly, the residual platelet function seems to be sufficient to limit posttraumatic bleeding. Therefore, STIM1 is a potential target for the development of new antithrombotics.

In the Rule we discover a variety of ideas and activities that relate to what we might consider labour or work. Some of them are familiar to most of us – for example, activities such as laundry and food preparation. What is perhaps most striking for modern lay people, however, is the idea of the Work of God ("Opus Dei"). While in some sense all our activity may be described as the work of God when we see it through the eyes of Christ, St. Benedict is referring specifically to active and focused commitment to communal praying of the daily office.
His words remind us of the central importance of this activity in our lives: Indeed, nothing is to be preferred to the Work of God [RB 43:3]. Most of us understand what a struggle it is to make this prayer discipline the priority in our daily lives. We also understand, however, that the consistent commitment to daily meditation and praying of the office shapes our lives and bears fruit.
Throughout the Rule we find references to good works, often in the context of what in the past were referred to as the corporal works of mercy. St. Benedict invites Christians to begin their communal journey towards the kingdom with these words: Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, let us set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide, that we may deserve to see him " who has called us to his kingdom" [RB prologue 21].
The prayerful response to faith and God's grace produces fruit through service. If we wish to dwell in the tent of this kingdom, we will never arrive unless we run there by doing good deeds [RB prologue 22]. The use of the verb run lends a sense of exertion and urgency to the venture. St. Benedict sounds, however, a cautionary note. The self-conscious or calculating compilation of a catalogue of goods deeds in itself offers no guarantee for life in the kingdom. The spiritual quest is not about amassing gold stars to satisfy the performance expectations of a legalistic deity. The performance of good works may be robbed of its goodness when the motivating desire is for spiritual labels and titles. Do not aspire to be called holy before you really are, but first be holy that you may more truly be called so [RB 4:62].
The question of motivation is a critical one when we consider the role and importance of good works. Only in this are we distinguished in his (God's) sight: if we are found better than others in good works and in humility [RB 2:21]. St. Benedict's keen understanding of human nature alerts us to the potential disconnect between good works and humility. Good works arise not from love of self, but from love of the other.
The suffering of Christ is mirrored in those around us. Care of the sick must rank above and before all else, so they may truly be served as Christ, for he said: "I was sick and you visited me …" and "what you did for one of these least brothers you did for me…" [RB 36: 1-2] It is humility and prayer that anchor our intended good deeds in reality. Every time you begin a good work, you must pray to him most earnestly to bring it to perfection [RB prologue 4]. Our false sense of individuality and self-reliance needs constantly to be challenged by the truth that what is not possible to us by nature, let us ask the Lord to supply by the help of his grace [RB prologue 41].
Fr. John Main has reminded us that: To see himself a person must look at another because the way of selfhood is the way of otherness [Word into Silence 28] and When we are renouncing self we are in that condition of liberty and receptivity that allows us to be in relationship with the Other [Word into Silence 59]. In discovering and embracing what St. Benedict described as our "divine vocation" [RB 7:9] we come to the truth that becomes apparent only through the emptying of the self: …we descend by exaltation and ascend by humility [RB 7:7].
May our daily meditation and spoken prayers open our minds and hearts to embrace humbly the source of all good works: Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone [Mark 10:18]. These people fear the Lord, and do not become elated over their good deeds; they judge it is the Lord's power, not their own, that brings about the good in them [RB prologue 29].

Is this habit less offensive if you shower first and then put pjs on? or what about matching sets...you know, cute ones with little tees and pants, all with coordinating patterns.
Should I be called a bad parent if I have passed said pajama love down to my children? As in...Nathan wears his favorite Transformers pair even though they are 2 sizes too small. He looks all tall and lanky. Cracks me up. Poor Ella gets all the hand me downs and mismatched ones. She has to resort to t-shirts and whatever pants she can find. She actually told my mom that I never buy her cute pairs. She might be right.
I think pajamas represent comfort, home, a longing with quiet and reflection. It means lazy cups of coffee and hanging out watching Saturday morning TV.
I might have an entire Pinterest board devoted to the latest and greatest fashion. Cute, pulled- together outfits with matching necklaces and purses. But at the end of the day....(and the beginning and middle), I just want pajamas. I am a fan...

Nob Hill, San Francisco Travel Guide
Nob Hill Summary
- Historic neighborhood with turn-of-the-20th-century robber-baron manses and beautiful candy-colored townhouses along Hyde Street
- Adjacent to one of the best Chinatowns in the country
- Home to some of the nicest hotels in the city (Fairmont, Ritz, Mark Hopkins, Huntington, etc.)
- Cable car runs right through the neighborhood -- easy access to Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf.
- Exceptional views
- Upscale neighborhood; very little crime and vagrancy
- Home to some excellent restaurants, including San Francisco seafood institution Swan Oyster Depot
- What goes down, must come up; the "hill" part of Nob Hill makes for steep, exhausting climbs.
- Hotels are generally more expensive here than in other parts of San Francisco
- Limited public transportation options --- not many bus stops, and nearest BART station is five blocks away
- On periphery of sketchy Tenderloin area
- No major tourist attractions
- Very little nightlife
What It's Like
Flanked by Chinatown to the east, Russian Hill to the north, and Union Square to the south, posh Nob Hill has long cultivated a reputation for housing the city's upper crust. Indeed, its name derives from the word "nabob," 19th-century slang for "snob." A generation of turn-of-the-20th-century San Francisco tycoons once surveyed the city from its lofty perch. The area retains some of that haughty vibe, though tongue-in-cheek references to "Snob Hill" are slightly exaggerated. Yes, it's upscale, but the Upper East Side it ain't, and it's mercifully devoid of the tourist hustle and bustle of areas like Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square.
The colorful cable cars that clang merrily down California Street, the small San Francisco Cable Car Museum, and Grace Cathedral are the extent of the neighborhood's tourist attractions, and pickings are slim for wallet-friendly eating or drinking options. To absorb the true Nob Hill experience, get your quads in shape and huff and puff your way up the hills, and then, when you've caught your breath, take in those stunning views at the top.
Where To Stay
If you opt to stay in Nob Hill, here's hoping you have your own driver -- the majority of the hotels in the area (the Fairmont, the Huntington, the Ritz) are very high-end. The neighborhood's dearth of public transportation options -- along with those hills -- means that unless Jeeves is ferrying you around in your custom Maybach, you're up for a serious workout. But because of its unique perch, nearly all of the hotels offer unparalleled city vistas. The top-floor bar at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins, Top of the Mark, is a notable draw. Budget hotels are few and far between in this zip code -- the Renaissance Stanford Court is about as cheap as it gets -- so be willing to shell out for those views.

Bulldogs Outshoot Albany 17-15
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team did a good job creating opportunities in Sunday's game with Albany. The Bulldogs, though, just weren't able to finish them. The result was a 2-0 loss to the Great Danes on a warm afternoon at Reese Stadium.
Yale outshot Albany 17-15 and had a big edge in possession time.
"In the first half, I thought we were pretty good," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "We were dangerous and created a lot of chances. We need to be more clinical with our goal scoring opportunities."
Albany (2-1) didn't have many opportunities but made them count. Brandon Wilson scored late in the first half, and Anthony Rozzano sealed the win with a goal with three seconds left in the second half.
The Bulldogs (0-2) started strong and had the first five shots of the game.
Yale goalkeeper Bobby Thalman had to come up big on Albany's first shot. Pomare Te Anau found himself alone just outside the box. He fired a hard shot, but Thalman dove to his left to snare it.
Thalman made another big stop later in the half when he came well out of his net to smother a shot from Wilson, who had gotten behind the defense.
Wilson, though, earned his revenge moments later when he neatly headed in a short cross from Michael Schneider from eight yards out.
Yale's best chance came with a little more than 10 minutes remaining in the second half. The Great Danes were whistled for a foul just outside the box near the endline. Jenner Fox quickly fed Peter Jacobson, whose shot from 10 yards went high.
"We're not executing the way we need to," Tompkins said. "We're not sharp yet, but it's still early in the season."
The Bulldogs also were missing a couple of key players – Nick Alers, Tucker Kocher and Andy Hackbarth – due to injury.
Thalman finished with five saves.
Yale is back in action on Friday, hosting Colgate at 7 p.m. at Reese Stadium.

Royals sign five players
KANSAS CITY, MO – The Kansas City Royals have announced that the club has agreed to terms on 2011 Major League contracts with right-handed pitchers Nate Adcock and Jesse Chavez, outfielders David Lough and Derrick Robinson and infielder Clint Robinson. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Adcock, who will turn 23 on February 25, was selected from the Indianapolis (AAA) roster of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization with the fifth overall pick in the Major League phase of the 2010 Rule 5 draft. He went 11-7 with a 3.38 ERA in 27 games (26 starts) for Bradenton in the Florida State League in 2010, fanning 113 in 141.1 innings pitched.
The 27-year old Chavez was 2-3 with a 5.88 ERA in 23 relief appearances for the Royals in 2010 after being acquired from Atlanta on July 31. Chavez posted a 1.74 ERA in his final nine outings of the year, holding batters to a .167 average over the span.
Lough, 25, saw his first action at the Triple-A level in 2010, spending the entire season with Omaha. The left-handed batter and thrower hit .280 with 11 home runs and 58 RBI in 120 games. The 2009 George Brett Hitter of the Year was added to the 40-man roster on November 19, 2010.
23-year-old Derrick Robinson patrolled center field for the Texas League champion Northwest Arkansas Naturals in 2010, batting .286 with a league-leading 50 stolen bases in 67 attempts. The switch-hitter also finished among the league leaders with eight triples (T-2nd) and 146 hits (3rd). Robinson, who has swiped 236 bases in his professional career, was added to the 40-man roster on November 19, 2010.
Clint Robinson, who turned 26 on Wednesday, won the Triple Crown in the Texas League in 2010, pacing the circuit with a .335 average, 29 home runs and 98 RBI. In addition, the left-handed slugger also led the league in doubles (41), total bases (298), slugging pct. (.625) and OPS (1.035). The 2010 Northwest Arkansas Player of the Year was added to the Royals' 40-man roster on November 19, 2010.

Paul McCartney Responds to 50-Year-Old Fan Letter
Better late than never. Paul McCartney recently had a chance to respond to a taped message from a pair of impassioned Beatles fans -- 50 years after it was originally recorded.
The BBC reports that the tape, mailed to a London theater where the Beatles were playing in 1963, contained a greeting from then-teenaged fans Barbara Bezant and Lyn Phillips, who told the band, "This dream is just to come round the back and see you, but I don't suppose that'll ever happen. But we can always live in hope, can't we?"
Unsurprisingly, the Beatles didn't respond at the time, but the tape's trip through the U.K. postal service was just the beginning of a long and apparently fairly bizarre journey, which ended when it somehow turned up at a flea market. The buyer, described as a local historian named David McDermott, told the BBC that he was stunned by what he heard. "It was like sitting in a bubble and being there when these two girls were making this tape," he recalled. "The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and it made me wonder if these two were still with us."
From there, it ended up in the hands of a segment producer at the BBC's 'The One Show,' at which point the ladies were tracked down -- and McCartney finally had a chance to reply. "Hi Linda and Barbara, thanks very much for you lovely tape. It finally got through, better late than never," he wrote in a note presented to Bezant and Phillips on the show. "Great to hear that you found each other after all these years. Keep enjoying the music. Love, Paul."

Flying Automobile of the Near Future (1924)
It seems Eddie Rickenbacker's passion for futurism started early. A of couple weeks ago we looked at his excitement over the prospect of post-WWII frozen dinners, plastic skyscrapers, and the wireless transmission of electricity. But as early as 1924 Rickenbacker predicted that the flying automobile -- complete with folding wings -- would soon take to the air.
This article is from the November 23, 1924 Zanesville Times Signal (Zanesville, OH).
Imagine the convenience of being able to drive around in the city, as is done nowadays, and then when you start for some other town and get on a straight of way or enter a nearby pasture, to unfold the wings on the machine and take to the air! It will mean quicker transportation for the suburbanite, for people living at a distance from a large city, and for traveling salesman, who now uses the motor car and highways to cover his territory.

Blake Shelton Takes 'Over' the Stage on 'The Voice' With Debut of New Single
Blake Shelton performed his brand new single 'Over' on tonight's (April 30) episode of 'The Voice.' We're used to seeing the country superstar and papa bear coach with a guitar strapped to his person while he performs, but it wasn't there tonight with this song. It was all about Shelton and his "voice" on prime time network TV.
The song, a thought-provoking ballad, sounded terrific while being performed for the first time in front of a live studio audience, and Shelton certainly owned it. We hope the members of his team paid close attention, because Shelton showed them what it means to be a seasoned, consummate and professional performer. Sure, he is known for his sarcastic and funny commentary and for being the goofiest of the coaches, but when the time comes to do what he does best -- and that's sing -- Shelton is flawless.
The camera panned to fellow coach Christina Aguilera mid-song. While Xtina has been known to Shelton's chops throughout the season, she was nodding her head in time with the melody and even flashed a smile tonight, clearly entertained by what Shelton was doing on that stage.
After listening to the song in both the studio and live format, it's clear that Shelton has yet another hit on his hands, thanks to the way he handles it.

"You want to look for some consistency? We're .500 and much the same," said the forward, a day after a heartbreaking 6-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that capped a winless three-game road trip.
"We are consistently inconsistent," is how coach Claude Noel summed up the way the Jets have played since he took over in 2011.
Kane was wrong on one point. The Jets (19-21-5) aren't even quite at .500 after their three most recent losses left them with just 43 points after 45 games.
But after Monday's practice, Noel said he has renewed hope the Jets can start turning things around, as they prepare for a visit by the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night. And he insists learning the more focused, defensive system he's been trying to teach isn't the problem for the team.
"Whether we have a good system, bad system, no system, I'm sure that when you've seen us play, like me, you see us, we play very well, we play very poorly. Why can't they find middle ground? That's what you're asking. That's a good question. That's what I'm trying to do and I will be relentless in my pursuit to get that."
The Lightning (25-13-4) are in second spot in the Atlantic Division with 54 points. But the Jets have managed to beat some pretty strong teams this season, then baffle fans as they lose to others that sit lower in the standings.
Kane suggested adding talent isn't the cure. There have been suggestions that the Jets just don't have enough elite players to compete with the best in the NHL, as they try to break out of .500 land and make the playoffs for what would only be the second time in franchise history in Atlanta or Winnipeg.
The Jets certainly don't have a lot of players on the NHL leader boards. Dustin Byfuglien is fourth on the scoring sheet for defencemen but Bryan Little is the team's top-scoring forward and he sat at No. 38 among his NHL peers.
Kane, who has 14 goals and 11 assists so far this season, still doesn't think more talent is the answer.
"No. I think we've got to find a way to play together and play a way that makes us successful. . . and want to win and want to compete and have everybody on the same page every night," he said.
Centre Olli Jokinen agrees, pointing to the junior team from his native Finland. It might not be the most talented in the world but still won a gold medal in Sweden on the weekend by making sure everyone played their best game.
There are lessons to be learned, although he also noted the Finnish junior team really only had to deliver when it counted in a few key games.
"Using us as an example, if (Sidney) Crosby is the best player in the game and let's say he brings 30 per cent of his talent on the ice that night, which is probably not happening often, but then you have somebody who is less talented but he can maximize his talent that current night, you have a chance to compete against players like that," he said.
Besides hoping to catch stars like Crosby on an off night and actually take advantage of it, the Jets also agree running and gunning with the best perhaps isn't a path to success for a team of their calibre in the NHL.
Byfuglien, for example, says he recognizes he has to keep things a little more simple to avoid costly mistakes like one that helped hand the Penguins a goal Sunday.
"Slow down and just play the game the way I should be . . . simple and not try to do too much," he said.
"I think I'm playing a little too fast for myself right now."
Noel insists it's not just winning or losing that's the real measure of how the Jets are performing.
"I think that if we can play up to what I see is our potential, then I would be happy," he says.
"And we're not there yet and that's what gets me worked up."

Anyone excited for the launch? I've always thought Starcraft was Blizzards best series. It maintains replay value long after the campaign has been beaten and offers difficulty levels from child -> Korean so you can play through the story even if you suck.
The custom games scene is what really sets it apart for replay value, but I'm still really excited for the zerg storyline to unfold.
Anyone else?

Through village courts,
justice for all in Bangladesh
When Jahanara Begum's sons stole mangoes from a neighbour's garden, what should have been a petty incident of children's mischief escalated into a violent confrontation between Jahanara and her neighbour. Angry at Jahanara, her neighbour assaulted her and injured her eye, which then required expensive medical treatment.
Standing between Jahanara and the compensation she deserved were high costs, unscrupulous lawyers and touts, long waits in a labyrinth of government offices, expensive travel to distant district courts and complicated legal procedures beyond the understanding of most ordinary citizens.
- Since 2010, more than 32,000 cases have been reported to village courts across Bangladesh. Almost 25,000 cases have been resolved.
- Nearly 70 percent of village court beneficiaries – both petitioners and respondents – expressed satisfaction with their experience.
- An average of 28 days is required for the resolution of a case, whereas in the traditional courts system the same case can take more than a decade to reach resolution.
As a subsistence farmer with a monthly income of less than $170 for her family of five, Jahanara could hardly afford the time and money required to hire a lawyer to take the case to the district court. As reported by The Daily Star, with 2.3 million cases pending in the courts, and a 10- to 15-year backlog, the wait for justice can be a long one.
But Jahanara escaped the circuitous and lengthy legal proceedings and was able to file her case in the village court.
Village Courts, an initiative adopted by the Bangladesh government with support from the United Nations Development Programme and funding from the EU, have reduced the time, expenses and hassle that plaintiffs often associate with the conventional courts system.
The village court panel, composed of local community members nominated by both Jahanara and her neighbour and headed by an elected representative, found her neighbor guilty and asked him to pay Jahanara's medical costs and apologize. Despite several delays, the court was able to implement the decision within the stipulated 30-day period.
Since 2010, more than 32,000 cases like that of Jahanara have been reported to village courts in 338 UPs across the country. Almost 25,000 cases have been resolved, of which approximately 2,000 were referred back from the district courts, thereby reducing the burden on the higher courts.
According to an evaluation of the courts, nearly 70 percent of village court beneficiaries – both petitioners and respondents – expressed satisfaction with their experience.
Village courts have also been able to restore broken social ties, which underpin village life in tight-knit rural communities, and have created a sense of safety and security. A UNDP study on the evaluation of village courts from the beneficiaries' perspective found that more than two thirds of beneficiaries reported that social problems and petty crimes occur less frequently.
By empowering citizens to resolve their disputes at the local level, in an affordable, transparent and efficient manner, the village courts system is not only increasing access to justice for the disadvantaged and marginalized segments of society, but also reducing the huge case backlog in the higher courts.
Not only are cases heard locally, reducing or even completely eliminating travel costs and work absences for participants, but given the grassroots nature of the courts, they are able to issue the summons, carry out the investigation, reach a decision and implement a verdict with a speed and efficiency the higher courts cannot.
An average of 28 days is required for the resolution of a case, and in most instances, the petitioner pays a court fee of only TK 2 (US $0.025) for criminal cases and Tk 4 ($0.05) for civil cases.
Jahanara said her experience was fair, affordable, conveniently located and timely.
"Without the village courts, I would have had to spend money on lawyers, travel to the district headquarters and wait years for justice just for a few mangoes," she said.

American teenagers are awash in temptation, particularly the kind that involves pleasures of the flesh.
They are exposed to racier images on television than ever before. Popular music celebrates carnal passion with unceasing gusto. And the Internet offers an endless array of graphic sexual fare. From watching "Glee" or "Gossip Girl," you get the idea that high school is just one hookup after another.
This salacious environment is a lot for impressionable youngsters to deal with, but our kids are dealing with it surprisingly well.
So says the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that when it comes to having babies, adolescents are not only doing better than they used to be, they're doing better than they've ever done since 1946. The birth rate among teenagers fell by 8 percent from 2010 to 2011.
It wasn't a fluke. The previous year, it fell by 9 percent. These represent just the continuation of a long and very impressive decline over the past two decades. Since 1991, the number of babies born to women ages 15 to 19 has fallen by 49 percent, despite an expanding population of teenagers.
Nor is the phenomenon peculiar to any one group or region. Among non-Hispanic blacks, the rate has plunged by 60 percent since 1991. Among Latinos, it's 53 percent. Teen births have been falling across the country. If the rate had stayed where it was two decades ago, there would have been 3.6 million more births since then than there actually were.
There are some collateral benefits from the improvement. Premature births have fallen among all women, and so has the number of low-birth-weight babies — both of which make for healthier infants.
What accounts for the dramatic progress? A combination of less sex and more contraception has played a big part. Since 1991, the proportion of high school students who have ever had sexual intercourse has declined from 82 percent to 60 percent — a drop of more than a quarter. Adolescents are also less likely to have had several partners.
The ones having sex have gotten more careful about the consequences. Among those who have sex, the use of condoms has risen by one-third. Lately, other types of birth control also appear to have gained in popularity as well. Some 14 percent of sexually experienced teen girls have used emergency (plan B) contraceptives; but abortion has gotten less common.
The picture we get is not the raunchy abandon so often depicted in popular culture. It's one of growing awareness of the downside of sex, more willingness to postpone it, and taking measures to prevent it from causing pregnancy.
Those steps are what parents, teachers and public health professionals have been urging on adolescents for decades now. Surprise: They've been listening.

Have You Been Threatened By Lodsys? Please Share Your Story
from the speak-up dept
And Lodsys just keeps on going. The folks over at the the Application Developers Alliance (disclaimer: in the past they've sponsored some stuff we've done) have been fighting back against Lodsys for quite some time, and have now set up a Lodsys Victim Survey, hoping to collect information and data about Lodsys' threats. Part of the reason that trolls like Lodsys get away with what they're doing is that they can effectively act in secret much of the time. Recipients of threat letters are often quite afraid to speak out, and that leaves them isolated, giving Lodsys much more power. Similarly, with many patent trolls, they seek to include gag orders on settlements (and some patent trolls have even tried to place gag orders on threat letters or early negotiations). Hopefully, collecting useful information and finding others who have been similarly targeted, it will be easier to fight back against egregious patent trolls like Lodsys. If you, or someone you know, has been threatened by Lodsys, please consider filling out the survey.

Real good piece by Andy Martino of The Daily News on the Mets interviewing former Washington Nationals manager Jim Riggleman tomorrow for the bench coach job.
Martino wrote of Riggleman calling the Mets' Willie Harris – a former player of his with the Nationals – after he and wife Trey lost their daughter early in the pregnancy. Riggleman contacted Harris to offer support and council, shortly after he resigned as manager when the Nationals wouldn't pick up his option.
It was an emotional and stressful time for Riggleman, yet he offered support to somebody else. The story humanizes Riggleman and showed compassion. As a bench coach, he will spend more time one-on-one with a player than Terry Collins. What Riggleman did was demonstrate the qualities of communication and understanding, essential for that position.
As a former manager, Riggleman doesn't have to be trained for this job. Wally Backman, however, needs to be groomed.
I was for Backman getting the chance to be bench coach last year and work under Collins, but the Mets wouldn't give him the opportunity. Not taking that chance might cost them as Backman could be offered the bench job under Davey Johnson with the Nationals.
It seems as if the Mets are just dancing with Backman, much as they did with Mookie Wilson. If the Mets truly want Backman to stay they would have immediately offered him the Triple-A job when Buffalo manager Tim Teufel was promoted to third base coach.
General manager Sandy Alderson said Backman is not a candidate for the major league staff, and given that, why shouldn't the second baseman of the 1986 championship team look to better his position elsewhere? Working under Johnson would be ideal.
Although Backman interviewed for the Mets' managerial position last year, it was to placate an uneasy fan base clamoring for change after Jerry Manuel's disastrous tenure. Clearly, it was a token interview, and not moving him up the ladder indicates the organization has reservations.
And, if offered the job in Washington, Backman should have no reservations about leaving.

River Cottage's Grilled Trout with Fennel
Get the Recipe
Whole trout were the first fish I ever placed on a grill, and they're still the first meal that comes to mind when I think of open-fire seafood. Filled with herbs, garlic, and olive oil, grilled trout turn supple and smoky over the flame. In The River Cottage Fish Book, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Nick Fisher offer a slight variation on the standard stuff-the-trout-with-herbs-and-grill-it method of which I am familiar. Instead of picking soft, delicate herbs, they call for overgrown, wild fennel. Then, they not only place the floral, herbaceous plant into the fish cavity (with garlic and bay, of course), but also use the woodiest herbs as a kind of grate for cooking the fish. These woody stems smolder as the fish cooks, adding another layer of smoky flavor to the fish.
Why I picked this recipe: My love for grilled trout is unabashed, but what really sealed the deal was the opportunity to do a little urban foraging in my neighborhood for the wild fennel. (This stuff grows like weeds in Northern California.)
What worked: Whole trout really shines when grilled over high heat; the slowly smoldering fennel took the fish to the next level.
What didn't: Wouldn't change a thing...
Suggested tweaks: ...But if you're one to futz, the fennel could be swapped out for any woody, overgrown herbs.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The River Cottage Fish Book to give away.

The first several hours of play take place within the unending slums of Midgar, where the degeneracy of the population rivals the detritus of the filthy structures they dwell in. Aggressive homosexuals worshipping "Big Bro" give Cloud (and the gameplayer) an uncomfortable experience early on, while cross dressing is a necessary tactic to be used in freeing Tifa. The lawless slums are loosely controlled by crime bosses like Don Corneo (whose name is a play on the Godfather's Don Corleone), with access to the upper plate where Shinra's capital building sits strictly monitored.
While Midgar, Shinra's power center, is the most nauseating place in the game, the dystopian theme doesn't dissipate much throughout. There are a few sanctuary locations, most notably Cosmo Canyon*, the place where those interested in the "study of Planet Life" pilgrimage, and Wutai, a city that comes out of Japan's early Edo period, with a neat samurai residence where a Zen Garden is maintained.
It didn't take long to notice that these desirable places are free of technological progress and the Western Man. Shinra (which roughly translates to "Roman truth" or "Roman core") embodies the worst fears people have of 'corporatocracy'. It is both the world's largest MNC and the world's most powerful political force. As a producer of energy and manufacturer of weapons, Shinra gives artistic life to Ike's fears of a military-industrial complex in operation. The energy it produces, called "Mako" (which might be translated as "pure sin"), requires an environmentally-brutal extraction process that seems to mix the worst elements of coal mining with nuclear power generation. The land surrounding the Mako reactors becomes toxic (apparently all Mako reactors end up as Chernobyl-style disasters) at which point a rapacious Shinra pulls out entirely to leave the unemployed and sickly townsfolk who worked at the reactor to fend for themselves.
At the same time, the Shinra levies higher tax rates on the population while billing the increase as a way for Shinra to do the people greater good and increase production (this is only one of several points in which the Shinra and Orwell's "The Party" bear a striking resemblance).
Further, the Shinra is involved in Faustian biological experimentations. Dr. Hojo, head of scientific research, undertakes a Jenova project to create super humanoid lifeforms like Sephiroth and enhances people like Vincent with superhuman abilities. He has also created clones such as the protagonist Cloud (injecting with Jenova~ cells) and shows interest in breeding members of different species to create powerful chimeras. Hojo is devoid of any remorse for the outcomes of his creations. He is thus a loose Mengelian caricature.
The Shinra is evil not only in what it does, but in what it doesn't do. The space program that was to launch Cid, as rocket captain, into space is shelved so that more resources can be devoted to Mako harvesting and Materia discovery. Not enough money for NASA, too much money for the Pentagon!
Enter the forces battling the Shinra. AVALANCHE, led by Barret, is an eco-terrorist group working to destroy Mako reactors. It is revealed that Barret's hatred for the Shinra extends beyond the damage it is doing to the planet and is of a more personal nature. At the Great Glacier, he actually tackles the discomforting notion that his terrorist tactics may be doing more harm than good. But ostensibly he is working to "save the planet!"
Characters of African descent are a rarity in RPGs, which makes Barret quite a curiosity. While he displays some typical black attributes like imposing physical strength and a lack of self-restraint (his response in encountering potentially adversarial forces is to immediately rain machine gun fire on them), his position as head of an eco-terrorist organization is not one of them. The group's name is much more representative of the demographic profile of contemporary environmental movements.
Aeris is an Ancient, an, uh, ancient race of people with the ability to communicate with the planet and feel it's lifestream, or something**. She is the last one alive, having been taken in by a woman in Midgar as a young child. Aeris was to use this special relationship with the planet to heal it, but the plan is sliced up when Sephiroth slices her up***:
Her death marks a blow to the planet, as a meteor heading toward it was to be averted using Holy Materia only she could access. Technology tries to step in to fill the void. But the Shinra rocket only succeeds in doing minor damage to the meteor, not obliterating it or knocking it off course as was hoped, much to the dismay of Cid, who had asserted the primacy of science over magic.
In another conspicuous reference to 1984, Sephiroth states that the Ancients putatively control the past (and thus they had to be destroyed). However, by leveraging his unique powers, he has broken away from the Shinra and intends to take control of the present from the organization. He then remarks that by controlling the present he will be able also to control the future. In Orwell's novel, O'Brien explains to Winston that he who controls the present controls the past, and that he who controls the past controls the future.
Red XIII is a native of Cosmo Canyon. Although a feline^, he's identifiably a Native American. The Canyon's music and Red's decorum make that clear. Even his name serves as a 'derogatory' reference to as much. The number indicates his unfortunate plight. He was born in Cosmo (as in "cosmopolitan") Canyon, and thus is a citizen of the planet, yet his tribe has been reduced to just one--him^^. He is disdainful of humans, and initially is only interested in joining Cloud and company to get back home. It is when he realizes that they are out to destroy Shinra that he becomes a permanent feature of the party.
Cloud throws in with AVALANCHE initially to make money, as he's no longer employed by Shinra. He wants to track down Sephiroth for personal reasons, namely the torching of his hometown and the death of his friend Zach. His memory has been tinkered with and he's been injecting with Jenova cells. Without family or friends (other than Tifa), he looks at the world with cold indifference, all of which fit nicely with his last name, Strife. He uses saving the planet, an idea that is associated with moral rectitude throughout the game, as a rationale for leading the party against Sephiroth more than a driving force for his own actions. His raison d'etre is made clear in one of the story's most satisfying moments:
Cait Sith, controlled by Reeves, is a Shinra insider who ends up becoming a double-agent. He sympathizes with the struggle against Shinra and has become disillusioned by the organization he holds high rank within. His allegiance shifts across the rubicon when he sacrifices himself at the Temple of the Ancients. Fortunately, the sacrifice isn't quite Christ-like--because he's an animated puppet (or two of them), he's back in no time, adopting a necronym from the first Cait Sith. It's like he never even leaves!
The other characters do not fight for eco-religious reasons. Vincent was made into a guinea pig by Hojo and wants revenge, Yuffie wants to collect Materia for less nefarious purposes than Shinra, Tifa just wants to be around Cloud, and Cid holds a grudge because of Shinra's axing of its own space program.
So, Shinra is the political-corporate behemoth harvesting vital Materia from the earth, in competition with Sephiroth who is after Materia to make himself invincible. Power, wealth, fame--that's what the evil Anglos are after, to the detriment of the planet. The protagonist party can't quite summon Captain Planet, but it does use summon Materia to protect Gaia from these rapacious forces.
A major theme running through the course of the game is one that mixes misanthropy, Ludditism, and extreme environmentalism. Some aspects of the game that starkly bring this theme into focus:
- Bugenhagen, who Red refers to as "grandfather", maintains a planetarium and has the power of levitation. He also has the unique ability to hear the cry of the planet. Later, he informs the party that Holy Materia will come to wipe out all evil from Gaia. It remains an open question as to whether or not that includes eradicating humans. The final sequence, 500 years after the defeat of Sephiroth, shows Red overlooking the overgrown ruins of Midgar. There is not a single human to be seen. Humanity has presumably been wiped out:
- The planet is revealed to have the ability to heal itself, as if some kind of super organism. However, the Shinra is extracting Mako and Materia faster than it is able to regenerate.
- Wutai, at war with the Shinra in the past, is forced to submit when the Shinra develops super weapons through the utilization of Mako energy and Materia. Technological progress thus allows for resource exploitation by the evil forces that would tap into it. Mount Wutai, from which its name derives, is considered the first among the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism. It's home to the Boddhisatva of wisdom--wisdom, presumably, not to go after Mako and thus bring ruin to the world!
- The strongest attack is Cloud's Omnislash. It doesn't come from Barret or Vincent, who use artillery and small arms fire. Cloud uses a sword to pull it off.
- Every town that has been involved with Mako energy production has become a destitute wasteland. Junon and Barret's hometown of Mount Corel are among the most devastated.
- Dyne, Barret's friend and father of Marlene, the girl he has taken in, opposed opening up Mount Corel to Mako production, preferring to stick to old coal extraction. Barret saw the opportunity for economic growth and prominence in Mako, and was able to persuade the community to his side. The results were tragic--technological progress always is, right?
- Fort Condor is home to enormous, endangered birds of the same name (although they look like eagles, not condors). They are nesting on the top of a Mako reactor that the Shinra want back. Here you fight with planetary mercenaries in a futile effort to protect the birds' eyries. To the Sierra Club's dismay, however, the Condor pictured nearby is eventually blasted away by a Shinra lazer beam.
The green extremism isn't portrayed in a uniformly positive light (though the thrust is overwhelmingly in that direction). When the party reaches Cosmo Canyon for the first time, Barret remarks that for a long time he's wanted to come to the place to study, but hasn't been able to due to overcrowding. If all these greens were really the greenest of the green, that wouldn't be a problem. They would've already committed the greatest green act of all--suicide. Few are pure enough to take their beliefs that far, though!
Conservatives often compare environmentalists to watermelons--green on the outside, red on the inside. When Barret is trying to reconcile the human toll his actions made in the name of the planet have taken, he states that for the greater good, one has "gotta expect a few casualties". Can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs, right?
Another theme shared with many others in the genre is the resistance organization fighting against the evil empire. As has been discussed, VII goes far with this theme. In another allusion to 1984, Scarlet lets Tifa and Barret know that their executions will be public: "We will be broadcasting your miserable deaths live on national television." This to redirect any public frustration from the government to the scapegoats being axed.
More cynically, fighting the evil empire is a surefire winner in the eyes of teenage males. At this hormonal stage of life, glory and freedom are appealing; responsible corporate governance, well, not so much.
Finally, to those who assert gaming is not an educational experience, I offer my frustrations in riding around on the floating Bronco plane. It took several minutes to navigate around the huge continent in the center of the world map when my destination, blocked by land, was just a few seconds as the crow flies. In that frustratingly long slog through the ocean, the utility of the Panama and Suez canals came to light!
Final Fantasy X is next on the chopping block.
~ "Jenova" is a couple of letters away from "Jehovah". Indeed, these cells bestow superhuman abilities on those who are injected with them, but a consequence of this greater power is invariably a diminution of the ethical compass. To be touched by Jenova is to eat from the forbidden tree--it moves one closer to omnipotence, but further away from omnibenevolence. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
* The soundtrack matches the story's desolation. Consequently, it's not among my favorites. An exception is the score for Cosmo Canyon, which brings to mind some of the best Quena music I've heard (and Amerindian tribal music in general), strikes my ear euphoniously. It is my favorite track from the game.
** The lifestream concept is similar to the Hindu conception of the soul, which will eventually reunite with the Ultimate or God (or in this case, Gaia), except it doesn't appear that normal humans contain it or are able to communicate with it like the Ancients are. They're outsiders, parasites that live on the planet, not in harmony with it.
*** I found this turn of events to be particularly annoying. Because Materia can be shifted around freely from character to character, it doesn't really matter who is in your party--everyone is pretty fungible. The loss of Aeris from a playability perspective didn't matter at all--I'd decided early on to use Barret and Red XIII from start to finish (and did so except for places where the story prohibited it as well as at the end when I used Yuffie to get lots of ability sources). But why was Aeris so reckless? Why go through the Ancient Forest alone, ahead of Cloud and company? She was asking for death, so I guess it's fitting enough that she got just that.
^ Or is he a canine? He roars like a lion and shares the big cat's tail. But his battle stance, shown in the picture above, resembles that of a snarling dog.
^^ This is revealed when Hojo attempts to mate Aeris and Red XIII, both of whom are the last living members of their respective races. Curiously, however, the game's ending sequence shows an aged Red running with two youngsters in tail. How they came to be is not apparent.
++Addition++Don't miss Squarepusher's insights found in the comments section. He tweaks my 1984 comparisons and references other allusions. I'd thought about the Heidegger connection, but FFVII's is pretty vacuous. Besides laughing, he's pretty taciturn, too. But maybe that's a shot at the putative intellectual vacuity of philosophical nazism. It fits the mold of criticism directed at Mein Kampf, for which many contemporary critics criticize Hitler of being an--do I dare say?--epigone, a hot-air blowing, gesticulating pseduo-philosophizing demagogue.

Now that 2013 is almost upon us, it is time for me to reflect on the 2012 culinary scene while eating my way through the Inland Empire.
Overall, I have seen some positive changes, however, I still saw areas that need improvement. I can go on forever but let's get right into my Top 10 Culinary Wish List for the I.E. restaurant scene for 2013.
10. I wish restaurant owners and managers would hire people who know how to smile and know the meaning of giving friendly service. Nothing is worse than being greeted or being served by an unhappy staff member who just recites a memorized sales pitch to the customers with no warmth or a hint of caring. If staff members do not know how to smile or have a positive attitude, get rid of them. There are plenty of unemployed people out there who know how to smile and have positive attitudes. That includes managers who just seem to do their own thing, allowing staff to run amok. Seeing restaurant staff work as a team is a lost concept and seems to exist only on cruise ships.
9. Ever call a restaurant and talk to a staff member who can't tell you the restaurant hours, directions to the restaurant, what kind of food the restaurant serves or the price range of the items on the menu? I have and I hate it. Shouldn't staff know something about where they work?
8. I wish cooks would make dishes correctly all the time. Isn't it important for the food we eat at a restaurant to be the same each time we eat there? I can see restaurants using different items sometimes but it still is the responsibility of the cook to make the dish both visually pleasing and palate pleasing. Just like the problem I see with some servers and hosts, I also see cooks and chefs who don't seem to care what they serve to the public. Is there a shortage of cooks who have common sense and know how to follow directions? I don't want to sound mean, but why should customers who are paying for quality food have to put up with incompetence and being served a second-rate dish?
7. Now let's take a look at people who go to restaurants. I wish people would have more manners and be considerate of others while in a restaurant. I love children and have worked with them all of my life, but I wish customers would quit allowing their children to use the restaurant as a playground and quit thinking their behavior is cute and should be seen and experienced by all. A restaurant is not the place to show your lack of parenting skills. Think about others. If you cannot handle your children, don't bring them to the restaurant or better yet, go through a drive-through window of a fast-food restaurant and allow yourself the pleasure of seeing and hearing them fighting and running amok in your car. Come on, folks, think about others.
The second area that needs to be worked on involves people talking on a cell phone in a restaurant. Now I must admit that I have been guilty of this at times but there is really no reason we can't either shut our phones off or put them on silent and text message the caller if necessary. If you really need to talk to the person, just go outside the restaurant and talk your head off without having to annoy other customers who came to restaurant to enjoy a good relaxing meal.
6. I hope those of you who continue to support those boring large chain restaurants would first consider trying some of those great little restaurants out there that you have not been to yet.
Yes, not all small restaurants are good, but it has been my experience that the majority of independently owned restaurants do care about serving quality food and are worth going to. The majority of large chain restaurants are so structured that the staff knowing their customers' names or providing a feeling of caring seems nonexistent or just plain phony. Why put up with mediocrity when you can have a meaningful and satisfying dining experience?
You will never know what restaurants provide until you try them yourself. Don't let misleading television commercials by restaurants sway you into eating food that never looks as appealing as they show. Shouldn't restaurants be regulated like other businesses who mislead the public with false claims?
5. In 2013, I hope some of the restaurants will get more creative and make their foods fun and exciting like the food trucks seem to do. Food is meant to excite and amaze your taste buds. Over the past year, some restaurants got the message that most people want to try something different. Foodies in the I.E. continue to be ready for even more changes as evident by new restaurants opening up and thriving. I feel people will support such restaurants who dare to push the food envelope to a higher level.
4. I wish cities would be more lenient on the usage of signage by restaurants. when small restaurants are struggling to survive and really need any extra edge they can get to attract new customers, I find it a pity that cities often suck the blood out of small restaurants with often archaic rules and bylaws.
Don't city officials want local businesses to prosper in their area? I think outdated laws should be revised to reflect what is happening now and future trends. Why can't temporary exceptions be made? Does every idea have to be set in concrete? If that is the case, why don't those hard-headed city officials get out of the way and let new people who care take their place?
3. Now for my third culinary wish, I wish land owners would not be so greedy and take it out on restaurants that can least afford a raise in their rent or lease. Shouldn't the restaurant be rewarded for wanting to stay in a center when most of the other businesses have closed down or moved? I know the economy is getting a little better but financially bullying a restaurant does not seem to be the answer to attracting new businesses into a failing center.
2. The next area seems so obvious for those who work in the hospitality industry but sadly is still not being followed. I wish servers would learn how to anticipate a customer's needs rather than the customer having to ask for everything from more water to napkins. What's so hard about that? Don't they know that better service usually means a bigger tip? I also want them to stop counting their tips in front of people, smoking in front of the restaurant and always being on their cell phones while working or talking to other staff about their personal lives. Do it on breaks or after work.
1. And lastly for my No. 1 culinary wish for 2013, I want people who use various social media programs like Yelp to think before they bash a restaurant for all to see. If anyone has a bad experience, talk about it but you do not have to "kill" a restaurant just for you to make a name for yourself or feed your ego with the illusion that you are a professional food critic.
Restaurants need to hear feedback, good or bad, but ripping them apart for small things or because you like another restaurant better can really hurt a restaurant's business. Try to be objective and fair, two areas that real professional food critics observe. It's OK to give positive suggestions so that the restaurant can improve but why not talk to the manager or owner and tell him or her face to face? Being accountable for what you say is an important step in being a credible food critic.
Well, that's it for this 2013's Top 10 Culinary Wishes. I hope all of you have a happy and healthy new year and for those of you who work in the restaurant industry and do care and follow professional standards, I applaud your efforts and hope that you continue to lead the way for others who need help in becoming first-class servers, managers, cooks or chefs. For those restaurants struggling to survive, try to keep a positive attitude and go get 'em!
