Here we have the BBC at the bottom of their game. Notice that grotesque phrase, "a copy of the Jewish holy book, The Torah." As if you could get a paperback version from AmazonKabul.com. So we start with confirmation that the BBC folks don't know anything about Judaism. Then we continue with the story of the two sly, greedy, and nasty Jews fighting publicly over control of the synagogue. How's that exactly? According to this account, there is no congregation, so what would "control" mean? Does Simentov now argue with himself in public? But the ultimate, the over-the-top claim in this story is its premise: that Simentov is the last Jew in Kabul. Because if he were, the lead sentence would be impossible, especially the last six words: "the only functioning synagogue in Kabul."
It takes ten Jews for a synagogue to function. If the Kabul synagogue is functioning, there are more than ten Jews in town. And in fact there are: Jewish diplomats, Jewish Special Forces, Jewish soldiers from various NATO countries, etc. etc.
But the BBC, true to its motto "never give a Jew an even break," presents us with a textbook caricature of a person they falsely call Kabul's one and only Jew.
Boycott the BBC. Let them merge with Jazeera and Arabiya.

Beneath our nation's cities run tens of thousands of kilometres of stormwater pipes, drains and streams. The network of sewers and waterways flows into the ocean, and so does everything that goes down them.
"Stormwater drains end up in creeks, and creeks end up in bays. Dog poo, litter, all end up in streams, and you might be swimming in the bay the next day," said National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research's chief freshwater scientist, Clive Howard-Williams.
Agriculture is often blamed for New Zealand's declining water quality, but the country's most polluted waterways are found in the inner city.
"I have always thought that city dwellers should be careful about pointing the finger. Before you start moaning at dairy farmers, think about the stream down the road from you," Howard-Williams said.
Many of New Zealand's recreational freshwater ways and coastal beaches failed the water quality pass mark when the Ministry of Environment published its annual report card in October. More than half of monitored rivers were unsafe for swimming and 16 per cent of New Zealand's beaches were rated "poor" or "very poor".
And despite our environmentally conscious image, Kiwis put some strange and toxic things down the drain and their toilets.
As well as hordes of rats and armies of eels, Craig McIlroy, stormwater manager for Auckland, has seen dead cats, dogs and sheep, concrete blocks, tins of paint, nappies and a lot of false teeth wash up in stormwater drains and sewage treatment plants.
"If someone goes home pissed and throws up, he might lose his teeth down the toilet," McIlroy said.
Police have even asked to check the waste water for traces of drugs to trace them to individual homes.
"I am sure a lot of drugs get put down the system," McIlroy said.
"Which means you probably have some eels with some interesting problems."
The biggest issue for cities is chemicals and organic matter being discarded down stormwater drains from individuals and light industry that eventually end up in the sea.
"Paints, poisons and explosives are the things . . . that pollute beaches. At the end of the day a goldfish down the toilet is not going to do any harm," McIlroy said.
Even dog faeces and discarded ice creams contribute to the degradation of waterways and beaches. So does washing the car.
"A lot of that sort of material causes the loss of oxygen, so fish in streams die. There is just too much organic matter and then you end up with bacteria in places where you swim," Howard-Williams said.
Many people believe stormwater is treated before it is fed into the sea, he said. It is not.
"Stormwater drains play a fundamental role in removing floodwater. But the problem is that they end up in creeks, bays and lakes and it is untreated," he said.
City folk needed to appreciate where the stormwater drains end up and be aware of the lengths councils went to keep them clean, he said. "There is a general lack of appreciation of what goes down the stormwater and where it goes. Urban dwellers have a lot to learn."

ISDA, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and the Institute of International Bankers have filed a joint legal challenge to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's cross-border rule. As stated in the complaint, the CFTC unlawfully circumvented important procedural safeguards mandated by Congress. The agency also failed to conduct any cost-benefit analysis; conducted a flawed rule-making process; and imposed a series of rules that are contrary to the spirit and the letter of international cooperation and that might harm global markets, according to the complaint. Read the joint association news release, the backgrounder and the complaint that was filed with the court.

The First Families Of Westchester
The Van Tassels. The Jays. The Purdys. The Meads. These are the clans who settled our history-rich county—but where are they now?
The 411: Lewisboro is a horseshoe-shaped town on New York's eastern border with Connecticut, spread out over almost 30 square miles of woods, open land, and lakes. Wrapping around Pound Ridge reservations, the town consists of the hamlets of Cross River (with a shopping center and John Jay High and Middles Schools); South Salem (home to the town park, library, and town offices); Goldens Bridge (with a small shopping center and Metro-North station); and Waccabuc (all residential except for a country club and post office) to the northeast, and Vista (with a shopping corridor) to the southeast, close to the New Canaan border. The dearth of commercial development is in keeping with the rural, rustic feel of the community. Indeed, preserving open space and dirt roads is a priority for many residents. Hiking and bike trails abound; the seven lakes are surrounded by close-knit beach communities. There are a few townhouse and condominium development throughout the town, and homes range from contemporaries to homesteads dating back to the 1700s.

HHS: You have a stellar list of guests on your album, out of all of the people who was most unique in their approach to recording?
CHOPS: I'd say probably Raekwon was the most unique, he's one of the bigger names but he was real open to experimenting, trying different shit, and was cool about input or thoughts I might have. For some of the album, due to budget constraints and stuff, I didn't get as much one-on-one time as I would have liked in the creative process. But with Rae it was pretty much constructing it from ground zero. I like doing it like that because then what you end up with is really a collaboration or interactive joint. Plus you get to build and whatnot, and get the sense of who you're working with. To me that's key because then you know what fits the artist. Like for instance, you can go get a suit from any store, put it on, and it might be ok for like birthdays and bar mitzvahs and stuff. But you go to a tailor for a suit, and they will hook you the fuck up. That's what I do best. My shits tailor-made.
HHS: How does an underground production staple like yourself that has yet to have a major label hit get the hottest artist/producer in the game right now (Kanye West) spit something for his album?
CHOPS: What happened with that was Kanye had linked up with Big E, at my label, to talk some business. And while they were hanging out at the studio, E had been playing a CD of my beats. And Kanye was diggin it and got the urge to jump in the booth. Which to me was crazy because his beats are bonkers, he's one of my favorites. To get that kind of respect from somebody I got so much respect for and who's achieved so much meant a lot to me. He's somebody I look to for inspiration, he's real creative but at the same time got a good handle on what makes for success and you gotta have that combination to really win. That's a definite goal for me.
HHS: With this record I am already seeing you are getting your first dose of getting on major mixtapes. How did that happen?
CHOPS: Well, back when we were coming out with my group's first record (Mountain Brothers), I met these two dudes who were at a college radio station, and they helped out a lot with promoting our record, helping it get airplay and whatnot. We didn't know shit about any of that kind of stuff, so we were pretty much grateful for that. So anyway one of them, Mike Baxter, is now my manager and the other one is DJ Lt. Dan who's like burning up the mixtape scene now. So they've been like family since way back, and now it's about to be everybody's time.
HHS: Is your approach different when you are working an Indy artist like say a Bahamadia, than it is when you are working with somebody like a Snoop or somebody that sells allot more records and is on a major?
CHOPS: I'm just starting to get bigger stuff but my approach is basically the same for every project I take on: Put the artist in the best light I can. Make that suit fit how it should. Give them something to work with, that suits their skills, their market, and plus satisfies whoever's paying the bill, whether it be a label, a sponsor or an ad agency or whoever. A producer is supposed to be the link between art and commerce. Even with an underground record, you want to reach people and move some units, so I try and write tracks that are catchy and stick in your head. And artists know me for that. As a beatmaker I definitely work to make sure the track hits the mark, and I'll add little touches and stuff, or have certain things drop out here and there to bring out and highlight the performance of who's rhyming or singing or whatnot. I think I got a good knack for that since I rhyme too. But overall, mostly going off of vibe and gut has worked so far. If you're aiming for a certain target audience, my goal is to make sure your shot murk's that whole audience.
HHS: You have been doing alot of instrumental work as of late, is that something that you like doing more or less than working with MC's?
CHOPS: I like making music period. It's all fun. MC's, singers, instrumental stuff… I feel like if you have the ability to do different things, why not go ahead and do it. Sometimes you want to write a banger, sometimes a story beat, sometimes a song about being lonely or whatever for a singer, or sometimes just music just for the sake of itself. Being able to switch it up keeps things from getting boring or routine.
HHS: When if ever can we look for a CHOPS solo record as far as an MC?
CHOPS: Getting started on that now, I been meaning to do a solo project for some time but I'd been focusing on the producer record, plus I spent the past year moving and building my new studio space. So now that the studio's set up, it's no excuses. I never had a chance to really focus on rhymes yet so I feel like I can surprise some people, whether they know my shit so far, or not.
HHS: As an MC would you ever work with other producers? And if so who?
CHOPS: Sure I would. That's a good question though. There are a lot of producers that I dig, but at the same time making the beats is a big part of the fun for me. You know what would be fun is to do some shit with other producers that also rhyme. A lot of my favorite producers rhyme too. Like say Pete Rock, Lord Finesse, Large Professor, Diamond D, Jay Dee, Kanye are some of my favorites. Actually my taste though is broader than you might think. I mess with like, Dre, DJ Quik, Timbaland, all kinds of stuff. But yeah, a lot of your better producers, rhyme or sing too (laughter). That's how they know how to make you sound good when you're front and center.
HHS: Twista has the #1 LP in the country right now. I had heard at one time you were doing some stuff with Twista what ever happened to that material?
CHOPS: At one time I did some remix stuff for a few artists on Atlantic, which was thru a contact I had there. But dude jetted and now that stuff is not to be, as far as on the official tip. You never know if that kind of thing might pop up on like a mixtape or whatnot though. It was good training for me, like remixing bigger records you get a better sense of what makes a bigger record, a bigger record. I remix joints all the time, either as a paid gig or even just for training purposes and as demos to let motherfuckers know what I can do.
HHS: It seems that through the years on the Mountain Brothers records, all the way up to "Virtuosity" that you have allot of top notch DJs doing their thing on your records. Is that something that just happens out of habit or is it part of your formula?
CHOPS: Well, I wouldn't say I had a formula but I got a deep respect for DJs man. Not only in the sense of cuts on a record, like with scratch hooks and intro's and outro's and stuff, but in the sense that they bring you to the people. Ultimately the listener makes an artist successful, but how does the listener ever even find out an artist exists? Most times it's a DJ. A DJ works as like a taste filter for the average motherfucker. The people rely on the DJ to have taste.
HHS: What can we expect out of CHOPS for the rest of the year? And where do you see yourself in five or ten years?
CHOPS: The rest of the year you're gonna see constant grind, basically. Expect to see my name on more credits, expect to see me networking and building the track record more. Plus musical advancement, both under and overground. Expect to see my name starting to pop up places you would have never thought before. Maybe even with stuff that's not strictly hip-hop, like say film music or TV or ad music. I like surprising people. And basically expect that not to stop until I'm old, decrepit and in a hospital. And by then, maybe they'll invent something where you can be like, in a coma and still make music. Best believe I'll have whatever that shit is.

Tasting notes: Fish fry, British mixer, Port Fonda invasion, Free State beer and a barn dinner
Foodies, mark your calendars. There's some pretty fun-sounding dining, beer and wine events coming up. Here goes:
Sept. 27: Terrebonne fish fry
The folks from Terrebonne Po' Boys and Desserts will be manning the fryer at Abe & Jake's Catfish Fry to benefit Friends of the Kaw. The event starts at 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. A $10 cover gets you admission and food. The event will feature river inspired artwork, Kansas Riverkings artifacts and live music from the Brody Buster Band.
Oct. 3: British mixer
Brits, Queen Lizzy's Catering and On the Rocks liquor store are teaming up on an event at the Castle Tea Room. Mixer, Mixer is set for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 3 in the courtyard at the Castle, 1307 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online here. British-y fare like scotch eggs and sausage is on the menu, to be washed down with British-y libations like gin, imported colas and ginger beer.
Oct. 5: Port Fonda hits the road
Port Fonda — one of Kansas City's most buzzed-about restaurants right now — is bringing its edgy Mexican fare westward for a pregame tailgate at the Oread. The Port Fonda Tailgate is before the KU-Texas Tech football game Oct. 5. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Expect street-style Mexican food and drinks, Free State beer and DJ Ashton. Time TBD — check Port Fonda's Facebook page for updates.
Oct. 17: Free State beer dinner
Pachamama's is planning a Free State beer dinner Oct. 17. Looks like the time hasn't been set yet, but if you're interested I suggest blocking off the evening and calling Pachamama's (841-0990) for reservations sooner rather than later — seats at Free State beer dinners go fast these days, and good food and good beer is sure to be had there. Cost is $75 per person.
Oct. 19: Feast of the Fields
Pachamama's chef Ken Baker is taking his culinary show on the road to prepare the farm-to-table meal for the next Feast of the Fields at River Creek Farms outside Manhattan. The dinner is set for 5 p.m. Oct. 19 inside the farm's 1876 limestone barn. On Friday, there were still tickets left, which can be purchased online here for $100 per person.

Brits Big Lunch celebrates coronation with Scotch eggs, custard tarts
God save the queen ... and Scotch eggs and custard tarts!
Queen Lizzy's the restaurant closed in December, but Scotch eggs and sausage rolls will once again be available when Queen Lizzy's the catering service makes its public debut this weekend at Brits Big Lunch.
The event — celebrating the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation — takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday on the back patio of Brits, 929 Massachusetts St. In addition to the Scotch eggs and sausage rolls, Queen Lizzy's will be selling Cornish pasties, chicken tikka, coronation chicken salad and cucumber sandwiches and strawberries and cream.
Another food component of the Big Lunch is a custard tart contest. Novice and expert cooks alike are invited to enter any size or variation of this classic British dessert. The entry fee is $10, which will be donated to Just Food, the Douglas County food bank. Entry forms are online at britsshop.com.
Other Anglophile-fun planned for the event: the Lawrence All-British Car Club's rides on display in front of the store, a royal baby guessing game and an open invitation for all corgi owners to bring their dogs.
Royal geek-out moment: Check out the BBC's June 2, 1953, "On This Day" feature on the coronation and all its opulence and fanfare — orbs, sceptres, jewels and everything! Also, for anyone who's still geeking out with me, here is the latest AP photo of mother-to-be Kate Duchess of Cambridge.
Figgy pudding a real thing, to be served at Queen Lizzy's British Christmas dinners
Some Lawrence folk from across the pond are collaborating to host Christmas dinner British-style — complete with figgy pudding and a visit from Father Christmas.
Queen Lizzy's Fish and Chips Shop, 125 E. 10th St., and Brits, 929 Massachusetts St., have planned Traditional British Christmas Dinner events on two dates, Sunday and Dec. 16. For both events, doors open at 5 p.m. and dinner begins at 6 p.m. at Queen Lizzy's. Tickets, which can be purchased at either business, are $38 for adults and $19 for children 15 and younger.
The figgy pudding, of course, is for dessert. Queen Lizzy's chef and owner Matt Poulton, who is from England, said the traditional dish is made with raisins, currants and figs then drizzled with brandy butter. He added, "It's a delight."
Also on the menu is wine for adults, an appetizer of cherry and almond baked brie and a dinner of roast turkey, ham, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, honey roasted parsnips, almond roasted brussels sprouts, gravy, sage and onion stuffing, pigs in blankets (British style) and buttered carrots and peas.
Poulton said Tuesday that plenty of tickets remained for Sunday but only a few are still available for Dec. 16.
"I thought it would be fun for a lot of expatriates to come to, and something the locals might find enjoyable." he said. "We don't have Thanksgiving in the UK, so our big thing is Christmas."

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Bratz go back to MGA Entertainment, after an appeals court overturned the 2008 ruling that gave Mattel ownership of the dolls that dethroned Barbie.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco dismissed the December 2008 ruling that gave Mattel ownership rights to MGA's Bratz line, because the idea for the dolls was developed by designer Carter Bryant -- while he was a Mattel employee.
Mattel (MAT, Fortune 500), maker of Barbie, was awarded $100 million in the case two years ago.
But the appeals court Chief Judge Alex Kozinski cited several errors in how the trial judge instructed the jury. He said the language of Bryant's employer agreement with Mattel is "ambiguous," as it gives the company rights to inventions created "at any time during my employment by the Company."
MGA argued that the contract's language only covers work created within the scope of the job, and not work done during an employees' own time or outside of their duties at the company.
Instead of submitting the issue to the jury, the trial judge granted a summary judgment that alone determined Mattel's contract with Bryant covered the Bratz dolls in question.
"Because several of the errors we have identified appeared in the jury instructions, it's likely that a significant portion -- if not all -- of the jury verdict and damages awarded should be vacated, and the entire case will probably need to be retried," Kozinski said.
Mattel said in a statement it looks forward to a full trial, and has great confidence in "the ability of a jury to right the wrongs that Mattel has suffered."
On the other hand, thankful for what it called "a sweeping victory," MGA said it is launching a new line of Bratz products to hit store shelves in August.

I left Chicago late the night of December 30, via Turkish Airlines to spend the New Year with my mom in Turkey.
Our plane arrived in Istanbul the next evening.
There were five hours left until the New Year and the traffic from the airport to the hotel was bumper-to-bumper.
I saw this on a CNN International program. I don't think there is another country on earth that loves their Papa Noel (Santa Claus), Christmas trees and Christmas music more than Turkey. And I am not sure if there is another Muslim country out there that is in love with Christmas like the Turks, I doubt it.
I had an early New Year's Eve dinner by myself at Hüsrev, a local rice and beans restaurant. Mom and my sister would arrive from Eskişehir by train the next day.
I woke up early in my hotel room, picked up my morning paper, went downstairs for breakfast before heading out to the Haydarpaşa train station.
The paper said starting that morning, January 1, 2010, Enis Berberoğlu would be serving as the new editor-in-chief of the Hürriyet newspaper. Hürriyet is the largest paper in the country with a daily circulation of around 600,000 (vs. New York Times 1 million).
This story took me back to the 1980s. I graduated from Boğaziçi University in 1982 with Enis and a number of other classmates, who later became key figures in the economy, business, media, and politics of the country.
During my college years, between 1979-82, I worked at Hürriyet as an editorial cartoonist reporting to Doğan Hızlan. I also published my political cartoons in Cumhuriyet and Gırgır. My first cartoon appeared in Oğuz Aral's Girgir in 1974, when I was 14, which also jump-started my long career in journalism. I would like to write about those very interesting years in a separate blog entry entitled Bizim Yokuş.
Enis was one of the student union leaders elected as a candidate of CHP. We worked actively on CHP's Boğaziçi University campus presence. The main function of CHP on the campus was to keep both the communists and the fascists out of the school during the period of anarchy, terror, and civil war, and we were very successful at that.
A cartoon by Fuat Kircaali that appeared in the Sunday Magazine section of Hürriyet in 1979.
Twenty-eight years after leaving Turkey, whenever I visit Istanbul, I see that my BU classmates from 30 years ago are running the country, both in government and the private sector. One classmate Murat Ülker (who is listed on Forbes' "The World's Billionaires 2009"), bought Godiva from Campbell Soup for close to $1 billion.
Another classmate Ahmet Davutoğlu is a successful secretary of state / foreign minister in today's Turkish cabinet.
Most of us were born in 1959 and we met in Istanbul last November to celebrate our 50th birthday, where more than 140 classmates showed up. Even more impressive, most of us have stayed in touch on a daily basis for more than 10 years with our online group.
In 2001, another classmate whom I've known for 43 years, Murat Mercan, called me from JFK Airport during one of his visits to the United States. I told him I would come and pick him up in about 30 minutes. We hadn't seen each other since we graduated from BU, and I told him he should stay at my house. Murat said he was in town with a small group of friends including Tayyip Bey and Abdullah Bey. I insisted that I would pick them up and that I would prepare a bed on the floor in the living room for Tayyip Bey and Abdullah Bey could sleep in the guest room. Murat thanked me and said they were in town for meetings at the United Nations so they would be busy; we would see each other during another visit. He also mentioned that he had entered politics. He had joined a group of friends and they just launched a new political party three months before the upcoming general elections.
For more than 20 years I did not have time to follow Turkish politics. Later I learned that same year that Murat's party won the general elections and today his friend Tayyip Bey (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan) is the prime minister of the country and Abdullah Bey (Abdullah Gül) is the president of Turkey.
I ran into Murat on Saturday, January 2, 2010, at the Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul Hotel as he walked out of an elevator. He was rushing to a meeting, but I stopped him and we sat down and had a quick breakfast and exchanged our contact info. He said he hopes to visit me in Cat Cay in the near future.
I spent two wonderful days with mom and left Istanbul wishing her a happy and healthy New Year.
A Quick Message to THY CEO Temel Kotil: I meant to mention this for the past five years, but never got a chance. I don't believe there is another airline in the world that makes you turn off your cell phones as you walk in the plane. On JetBlue flights you can use your mobile devices until the airplane doors are closed and you can turn them on again immediately after touch down. The pilot makes an announcement before the final approach to the airport, reminding passengers to keep their cell phones handy so they can use them as soon as they land. Many airlines today are offering in-flight wireless service. During one of my recent THY flights, I applied the JetBlue rule and turned on my BlackBerry after touch down, only to be yelled at by the cabin crew who said I was seriously risking the plane's brake system on the ground by checking my email. Other passengers almost wanted to kill me for risking their lives. As the CEO of the airline you are doing a terrific job, congratulations on the star alliance membership, the meals are delicious and very impressive for the first -time THY passengers, even in the economy class. But you need to catch up in some other areas like cell phone policy.

Marketing Director Interview
I applied online. The process took 5+ months – interviewed at Vail Resorts.
Position was posted the beginning of May. I applied for it the following week online and was contacted by a recuriting coordinator 4 days later. By the first week in June I had a phone interview with a recruiter who then recommended me to move forward in the process. It took 3 more weeks to get the phone interviews with the VP marketing and VP sales and biz development, which both went well. I had a follow-up conversation with the VP marketing and an initial call with a HR director two weeks later (mid/late July). I didn't hear anything until mid August when they asked me to fly out for a face/face interview in mid-Sept. I interviewed on a Friday from 8am-6pm, no breaks, meeting approx 15+ people, with a follow up interview on Saturday. They contacted me two weeks later to bring me back for a follow-up face/face interview, which was delayed for 6 weeks (end of Oct) due to scheduling issues on both sides. The second face/face interview was a shorter day, meeting only with key people - CMO (hiring manager), COO, HR, VP. Overall, the experience was intense, but enjoyable. I enjoyed everyone I met and we had great conversations about the business. I did not feel like I was being drilled, rather given opportunities through discussion to show how my background and experience is relevant to address business challenges, issues, and opportunities.
- 1) Tell me about your 2 biggest failures
2) What would your peers say about you negatively
Note that these are standard questions about self-awareness that I should have been better prepared to answer. My fault. Answer Question
In so many ways this was the perfect job for me, given my background, experience, ambitions and passions. While I was initially unsure about relocation, I was ready to make the move. It ultimately came down to their unwillingness to negotiate on anything. While the relo package was adequate, the base and targeted percentage bonus was low (vs industry), and vacation policy was limited. I did have concerns about their reputation for these issues and others, which are noted in review on this site and seperately mentioned by networking contacts in the area and industry.

DLO intros HybridShell for iPod nano
Digital Lifestyle Outfitters has introduced its new HybridShell for iPod nano. The HybridShell is a new case that combines a clear polycarbonate front shell with a textured rubber back — the silicone backing provides grip, while the clear plastic front allows the nano's color to show through. The HybridShell features the same snap-on backing as previous DLO nano shells, and offers access to the nano's Click Wheel, hold switch, headphone port, and Dock Connector. "DLO brings you the best of both worlds with the HybridShell. Its unique combination of a textured rubber back and sleek polycarbonate front gives you the sturdy, no-slip grip of a silicone case with the sleek style of a hard shell front that won't hide the personality of your iPod," said Marcia Germ, director of product development for DLO. The DLO HybridShell for the second-generation iPod nano is available with either a black or pink backing and sells for $15.
