The word "nigger" is defined as (1) a hateful slang term for an African-American person or (2) a member of a socially disadvantaged class. Perhaps the most derogatory term in the English language, it managed to become a term of endearment, a symbol of comradory, an in a sense, instilling the feeling of social/emotional acceptance. So is it still offensive? That depends on who you ask and that is one the most significant characteristics of Nas's groundbreaking and exceptional untitled album. The artist also know as Escobar creates an opus that touches on every aspect of the word; its usage, its meaning, but all the while leaving it up for the interpretation of the listener to develop their own opinion.
With strong lyrics, a unique concept with relevant subject matter, and beats tailor made for the artist, you are taken on a voyage through the Black Diaspora both past and present to explain why the N-word is still a relevant word, positively and negatively. Beginning with the Salaam Remi produced "You Can't Stop Us Now" feat. Eban Thomas of the Stylistics and the Last Poets, Nas navigates the vessel via word play, "…witch doctors, good ol' pick pockets/Sip on moonshine/So called coons, shines, and darkies/I love y'all/Pyramids to cotton fields to Wrigley Fields/Forgotten men who did get killed/Crispus Attucks/The first blasted/Peace to the rich lady purse snatcher shot in the back…" On the DJ Toomp produced "N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master)," Nas describes the lives of everyday people as he sees it, "We trust no black leaders/Use the stove to heat us/Powdered eggs and government cheeses/The calendar with Martin , JFK, and Jesus/Gotta be fresh to go to school with fly sneakers/Schools with outdated books/We are the forgotten/Summertime coolin' off by the fire hydrant/Yeah I'm from the ghetto/Where old black women talk about their sugar level…" He magnificently paints a picture of ghetto life where miracles are made from nothing and the very magicians who made it all possible are considered to be nothing more than, quite frankly, niggers.
But at the same time Nas compares "niggers" to roaches on "Project Roach" feat. The Last Poets, that clearly states that a word cannot be "buried," let alone its usage and instead one should learn from it and not aspire to be one. On "Y'all My Ni**as" God Son takes on the meaning of the word head on, questioning its meaning and the treatment of the people who are called it while speaking from a personal standpoint as he rhymes, "Yo, I was thinkin' a lil' bit/What would it take for me to authenticate my nigganess/Ball ridiculous/26 inch rims when I call the dealership/Ah, that's some nigga shit/We only out for our own benefit/we havin' too many kids/We Claudines/Welfare recipients/ The infamous free clinics is the sickest shit/Make me wonder what the hell they cleaning their syringes with…"
On the lead single, the Polow da Don produced "Hero" feat. Keri Hilson, Nas addresses the controversy over naming this LP its original title stating, "…still in musical prison/And jailed for the flow/Try tellin' Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel they can't sing what's in their soul/So untitled it is/I'll never change nothing'/For people to remember this/If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids/With new ideas/Being told what they can and can't spit…," questioning not only his own individual right, but how it effects society as a whole.
Nas also takes the time to address some of his own personal indictments. On the Stargate produced "America," he touches on this country's unfair practices while linking it to its some of the most degraded groups of people as he describes the some of the struggles of women, "…split her navel/Took her premature baby/Let her man see you rape her/If I could travel to the 1700s/I'd push a wheel barrel full of dynamite through your covenant/Love to sit on the senate/Tell the whole government/Y'all don't treat women fair/She read about herself in the Bible/Believe she is the reason why sin is here/You played her with an apron like bring my dinner dear/She's the real nigga here…" or on the Stic.man of Dead Prez produced "Sly Fox" describing the "fair and unbiased" coverage of not only the channel, but the business practices of the NewsCorp conglomerate, striking a cord with the current times like a true revolutionary.
With only a few guest appearances, this album makes the most of it with The Game and Cool and Dre co-produced "Make the World Go Round" feat. Chuck Taylor himself and Chris Brown and on the highly entertaining Mark Ronson produced "Fried Chicken" feat. Busta Rhymes extend the metaphor to venomous vixens that are so bad for you, but taste so good…. But the shining moment on the album has to be the DJ Green Lantern produced "Black President." Maybe one of the most historic events to take place in modern history, Nas expresses his pride and reservations of Sen. Barack Obama possibly becoming leader of the free world, "…but on the positive side/I think Obama provides hope/And challenges minds of all races and colors to erase the hate/And try to love one another/So many political snakes/We are in need of a break/I'm thinkin' we can trust this brother/But will he keep it way real/Every innocent nigga in jail gets out on appeal/When he wins, will he really care still…" It is this context that defines the album, looking at two sides of something and having to come up with a viewpoint for which to see it, often a very difficult and stressful situation.
The only flaw (if you really want to call it one) of this album is no fault of the artist. While today's average hip hop listener is caught up in who is the latest so called up and coming king or what new trend is taking place, this LP will more than likely go over their heads due to its revolutionary content. And that is where the dilemma starts to form, should one try to conform to the appeals of the mainstream and convey their message around that premise, or should they speak from their heart even though it might not be statistically successful, offending many, and ostracizing them from the general hip hop/music audience? Honestly, that is up to the listener/buyer to make that decision. But one thing cannot be denied, lyrically and conceptually, this album is superior to any project that has came out as of late and Mr. Jones should be commended for this magnificent album, like it or not. – Ryan Harrison

Held to be Dickens' finest novel, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. Memorable characters include the menacing lawyer Tulkinghorn, the friendly, but depressive John Jarndyce, and the childish and disingenuous Harold Skimpole, as well as the likeable but imprudent Richard Carstone. A suspenseful tale about the injustices of the 19th-century English legal system. This novel set the standard for modern day legal thrillers.
Public Domain (P)2013 Trout Lake Media
"For the serious Dickensian"
To tackle this novel in any form is no idle pastime, but requires a serious commitment of time and intellect. With its complex interweaved narrative strands (alternating between Esther's first-person narrative and that of a nameless omniscient narrator), its extensive cast of characters, and its frequent digressions, it poses a particular challenge as an audiobook. It is the kind of novel that should have an index, and which in paper form would have had me often searching back through the pages for a reminder about who had said what to whom and when. Since this was not supported in my audio reader, there was no alternative but to soldier on through the thicket. A novel this dense in character and incident would challenge the greatest actor, but with Peter Batchelor on top form my interest never flagged. If I had one quibble it would be with the production itself - the frequent "re-recordings" are spliced in rather too abruptly, distracting from the flow of words. As for the story itself, Dickens' usual slow buildup is taken to extremes here, but the eventual payoff is as moving as he ever achieved elsewhere. The difficulty for the modern reader is to comprehend how a lawsuit can simply continue under its own momentum without any prospect of conclusion for generations despite the best will of its parties to end it. This undermines its effectiveness as the central narrative device that underpins the action of the novel, but as a critique of the legal system of the time, it was epoch-making and quite possibly history-changing. The greatest incidental pleasure is to be had in the minor comic characters such as the paragon of "deportment", Mr Turvidrop, and the evangelist Mr Chadband with his orotund sermonising (ministers of any stripe rarely fare well in Dickens' hands). Serious Dickens fans simply must attempt this, but best you know what to expect beforehand. You will be glad if you can make it to the end.
"Better example of Dickens' art than many others better known..."
This is only my third Audible book and while Mr Batchelor has a fine voice his personalizing of the characters was not an addition to the story. Many times it actually detracted fro the story. His voice of Messieurs Smallweed and Vols verged on the annoying and while both characters are annoying I think Mr Dickens words aline served the purpose. I will not avoid books read by Mr Batchelor but I won't be searching them out either. As to the story, there is a reason it is a classic. Dickens weaves a great plot with enough subplots to keep the listeners' interest. The story line is revealed enough at the right time so as to not injury the overall story but also not scarcely so much so as the listeners' intelligence is insulted. That the story was originally produced in serial from it must do as it does. Worthy of a third book and moving on to Evelyn Waugh next.

Sparta Without the Spartans
Published: August 4, 1996
(Page 2 of 3)
The city, not the individual, was what mattered. Other Greeks marveled at the way the relatives of men who had died in war looked joyous, while the wives and children of those who returned seemed depressed. If a man returned from battle intact, he might be ostracized, even punished if he were seen smiling. One such ''coward'' was murdered by his own mother, and the two Spartans who survived the devastating battle at Thermopylae committed suicide. No wonder Hitler wrote rapturously of the city, down to its black soup, which he thought similar to a broth found among the peasants of Schleswig-Holstein.
Musing on such matters as I meandered through the ruins, I had to admit that, no, my own background was not so severe. At even the most traditional English public school pupils were not forced to walk barefoot in winter; nor were we ritually flogged at any altar, let alone the altar of the goddess of the hunt. This seems mainly to have happened in the northeast of the present town, at the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia. There, you can still see the stones where Plutarch saw boys expire rather than concede defeat.
ALL the same, what a relief to leap across the centuries to civilized Mistra. The city probably got its name from a Spartan cheese made in the shape of a thin cone, and does indeed twist and spiral up one of Taygetus's steeper foothills to the remains of a castle 2,070 feet high. This was built by the Frankish conqueror William of Villehardouin, Prince of Achaia, in 1249, and offers a marvelous view of Sparta and beyond. It was up here that Goethe imagined Faust uniting with Helen of Troy. He never visited Mistra himself, but clearly thought it a romantic place, and wasn't so wrong when he placed his lovers in ''the courtyard of a castle, surrounded with rich, fantastic buildings of the Middle Ages.''
Much that straggles down the mountainside was rich and fantastic in the Middle Ages. When the Greeks took over Mistra in 1262, the last of the Spartans moved there, abandoning their original site, and began to create a city that was eventually home to 40,000 people and the jewel of the Peloponnesus. I entered by the higher of the town's two heavily fortified gates and meandered down to what was once thought to be the palace of Menelaus, but is actually the Palace of the Despots, a gold-brown sprawl of majestic three-story stonework looming over the great square where the citizenry gathered for meetings or proclamations. Down the stony track I went, past the shells of scores of houses and mansions, visiting the restored churches, scattered about the hillside, that were once rated as impressive as any in the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople included.
I could see why as I looked down on those elaborate clusters of red-tiled domes, roofs and arches and the sometimes rounded, sometimes exotically angled walls that, in the case of the Peribleptos Monastery, actually sprout from Mistra's rock face. I could certainly see why when I entered the monastery, or the Hodegetria, or the Metropolitan cathedral, or the Pantanassa nunnery, in most art historians' opinions the finest of all. Everywhere there are 14th- or 15th-century wall paintings of surpassing energy and, often, realism. Look for the bystander fastidiously holding his nose as Jesus raises Lazarus (Pantassa), or the phalanx of wonderfully slender, graceful martyrs (Hodegetria), or midwives pouring water and angels anxiously hovering as a huddled Virgin prepares to give birth amid wild crags (Peribleptos), or Jesus healing bashful, spotted lepers (Metropolis), or the serene yet watchful Jesus in the tiny St. Sophia.
Mistra was once second in importance only to Constantinople in the Byzantine empire. Constantine II, who was to lose his capital to the Turks in 1453, was actually crowned there. Artists and scholars flocked there, among them the ''second Plato,'' Plethon, who preached neo-paganism and in whose honor the Medicis founded the academy in Florence. But the glory days didn't last. Turkish occupation lessened the city's significance. Albanian attacks reduced its size, and, after a Muslim army took devastating reprisals for the citizens' participation in the Greek war of independence, Mistra was finished. What was left of its population moved to resurgent Sparta, which Greece's first king, Otto, patriotically built beside the site of old Sparta.
There's little of serious interest in the new Sparta except a smallish museum. Sadly it does not contain the shell of the egg from which the baby Helen emerged, as its an-cient Roman counterpart reputedly did, but among its treasures is a fine fifth-century bust of a triumphantly grinning Leonidas. So I moved on, following the route the Spartan charioteers must regularly have made south to Gytheion, where their city's navy was once based. It is a delightful drive, for Taygetus continues to jut and beetle to the right, and the port town itself is well worth a wander. Strolling past the pleasantly shabby 19th-century buildings lining the harbor, or the narrow streets high above it, I could imagine the Athenians coming to set fire to Spartan ships, or the crack Spartan troops, disguised as visiting athletes, returning to retake the town. And the tiny islet just outside the harbor was the very place where legend says Paris and Helen spent their first night before eloping to Troy.

Cancer Health Center
The Steady Rise in Thyroid Cancer
"The question has been answered," Frank said. "It is not just a matter of better detection. But it is unclear why there is an increase in true incidence."
For the most common type of thyroid cancer, the prognosis is generally excellent, he noted. "Younger patients do the best, but older patients still generally do well," Frank added. "But older patients -- generally those over age 50 -- with more advanced disease, with metastatic or large tumors, do not always do so well in terms of disease recurrence and ultimate survival, although they can still do quite well and survive."
For the study, Goldenberg's team compared the clinical and pathologic characteristics of 31 patients whose thyroid cancer was discovered when they had diagnostic imaging for reasons other than thyroid cancer with 207 patients who had scans specifically to diagnose thyroid cancer.
Men accounted for more than half of those whose cancer was discovered incidentally (54.8 percent) but only 13.5 percent of those screened specifically for thyroid cancer, the researchers found.
Average age at diagnosis was about 42 for those scanned for thyroid cancer and 56 for those diagnosed incidentally. The cancers found in an unrelated scan were more advanced, but no difference between the groups was noted in tumor size, amount of cancer inside the thyroid, or cancer that had spread to the lymph nodes or other organs.
But if better detection isn't behind the uptick in cases, what is?
Goldenberg has looked at exposure to radiation and radon as possible contributors.
"We recently published our work looking into the Three Mile Island vicinity as an etiological [causative] factor -- no association found," Goldenberg said. The Three Mile Island accident was a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor in central Pennsylvania in 1979. "We recently completed a study looking at radon as a causative factor -- no association found," he said.
The researchers said they need to study whether other lifestyle and environmental factors are contributing to the increase in thyroid cancer.

Composting Essentials
Choosing a Bin
Standard plastic compost bins (Image 1) are functional rather than attractive, but they do hold lots of garden and kitchen waste. They are also the most inexpensive, and can often be bought at a discounted price through your local supplier. If you are concerned about how your compost bin fits in with the rest of your garden, there are more attractive options, including wooden bins designed to look like beehives that can be stained to suit your garden design (Image 2). These are a good choice for smaller gardens where the bin would be on view. Impatient gardeners may prefer "tumbler" bins (Images 3-5). These allow you to make small batches of compost in weeks, not months, by turning the bin to increase airflow, which naturally speeds up the composting process.
Filling Your Bin
To produce good compost it is important to have the right mix of ingredients. If you add too much soft, green material, such as grass clippings, the heap may turn into a slimy, smelly sludge. Put in too much dry, woody material, and it will rot down slowly, if at all. Ideally, aim for a ratio of about 50:50. During most of the year, it is likely that you will be producing more green than dry material, so you will need to look around for dry waste to add. Woody prunings are best, but brown cardboard, crumpled newspaper, and even the insides of used toilet paper rolls all make suitable alternatives.
Quickening the Pace
Air is essential to the composting process, so the contents must be turned regularly to ensure good airflow throughout your bin or heap. Turning also allows you to check how things are going, to wet the mix if it is too dry, or to add dry material if it is too wet. This task is easier if you have two bins, but if you only have one, simply empty it out onto a tarpaulin, mix the contents well, then refill the bin.
Tip: Bokashi Composting
Cooked foods, meat and fish should never be composted in an ordinary bin because they attract rats and harmful bacteria. Instead, compost this type of waste using the Japanese bokashi system. This involves using a special sealed bin that you fill in layers, each one sprinkled with bran dust, inoculated with microorganisms. The content of the bin then effectively pickles, and after about two weeks, it can be emptied out and buried in the garden or added to the compost heap. This method also produces a liquor that can be diluted and used as a liquid feed.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kobe Bryant, sidelined five games by an ankle injury, returned to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday against the New York Knicks.
Bryant, the NBA's third-leading scorer with a 29.2-point average, hadn't played since injuring his ankle in the final minute of the Lakers' 107-100 loss at Milwaukee on March 21.
Bryant, who teamed with Derek Fisher as a starter in the Lakers' backcourt, received a loud ovation when introduced before the game.
The Lakers went 3-2 without Bryant, beating Washington, Sacramento and Dallas and losing to Phoenix and Sacramento.
The Knicks entered the game at Staples Center having lost three straight, equaling their longest losing streak of the season.
President Clinton attended the game, sitting in one of Staples Center's 160 luxury suites.

This paper presents a general approach for analysis and verification of authentication properties using the theory of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). The paper aims to develop a specific theory appropriate to the analysis of authentication protocols, built on top of the general CSP semantic framework. This approach aims to combine the ability to express such protocols in a natural and precise way with the ability to reason formally about the properties they exhibit. The theory is illustrated by an examination of the Needham-Schroeder (1978) public key protocol. The protocol is first examined with respect to a single run and then more generally with respect to multiple concurrent runs
