text: Mr. Putin, Tear Down This Network by John Sexton 14 Dec 2010 post a comment Share This: For as long as there have been Communists abroad there have been useful idiots here at home. In the '30s we had Walter Duranty at the NY Times and today we have a 24/7 news network called RT. Launched as Russia Today in 2005, RT is run out of Moscow with a studio in Washington DC and satellite offices around the world. It's distribution is still primarily via the web and to a long list of hotels around the world, but it is making inroads to satellite and cable providers around the world by offering it's product (including a Spanish language version) for free. So for instance, you can now get RT on Time Warner cable in NY or New Jersey. Here's why this is a matter of concern. From the outset it was clear that RT was a propaganda effort controlled completely by the Kremlin. The Kremlin put up more than $30 million to get it started and spend double that to pay a staff of over 100 reporters in just its first year of operation. When it launched in 2005, CBS interviewed former Russian Press Minister Mikhail Fedotov, who explained what RT was about: The Kremlin's inside advisors believe professional propaganda might form the splendid and shiny image of modern Russia, without Chechen war...without corruption. RT attracted some negative attention in 2007 for running a weird ad campaign which attempted to humanize Stalin. But the propaganda arm really swung into action in 2008 when Russia invaded East Ossetia. (You may recall John McCain's statment at the time "Today, we are all Georgians.") After RT reporter William Dunbar mentioned on air the fact that Russia had bombed Georgia, the rest of his scheduled appearances that day were canceled. He resigned, telling the Guardian "The real news, the real facts of the matter, didn't conform to what they were trying to report, and therefore, they wouldn't let me report it." Given its history, I was a bit surprised to see RT doing a segment this weekend on U.S. media propaganda. This is what it looks like when the Kremilin gets into the Fox bashing business: [youtube WtcguTO8q_E] What's most striking perhaps is how similar all of this sounds to the complaints coming from Brave New Films or Michael Moore. Indeed, if President Obama is still looking for common ground with Russia, he might find some in this Kremlin-approved clip. Incidentally, there's one analyst who appears in that clip but is never named. The guy in the glasses and red shirt is cartoonist Ted Rall. You may recall that he recently published a book advocating the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Which begs the question: How far left do you have to be that the Kremlin's propaganda channel is embarrassed to name you in its reporting? When it's not doing media criticism, RT seems to spend most of its time attacking the US and capitalism. It's sort of like having attractive presenters read excerpts from Bush-era Daily Kos. Here's a sample of RT segments that aired in the last week: America's human rights record tarnished Mumia-Abu Jamal's Case - symbol of flawed American justice US-China human rights hypocrisy Wall Street banking on failure American empire is collapsing Camden - Poster child of American ruin US worst income disparity in the world Pentagon deception, war lies The Cold War was fought between the US and USSR by proxy armies in places like Korea and Afghanistan. The next Cold War is being fought in the landscape of international cable and satellite networks between patriotic outlets like Fox and anti-U.S. media issuing from the Kremlin and elsewhere (Iran's Press TV comes to mind). It's still early in the process, but already I have a feeling that somewhere out there is another Ronald Reagan waiting for his moment to shove this latest offshoot of state socialism into the dustbin of media history.

The Wizards need to make a move as soon as possible. Jamison must be the first to go. Jamison has a big contract , they can't do a Jamison, and a few more players for Mcgrady? Either way you've invested in Arenas and it's time to go in a different direction.
No Surprise That Wizards Are Cautiously Open For Business
On Christmas day, Yahoo's Marc Spears reported, according to at least one NBA executive, that the Wizards were "open for business." Of course, this could simply mean that Ernie Grunfeld has fielded a call, or made a call, and has had a discussion involving the potential possibilities past "hello." You know, pretty much doing the job a general manager of a team falling way below expectations should be doing in gauging the value of his players.
No biggie and certainly to be expected despite the initial judgement phase of 20 games being extended to 40 games by Flip Saunders, which is probably a reflection of Grunfeld's thinking … or at least the message the team president of basketball operations wants to convey to the media and the players.
Spears also reported that Gilbert Arenas is on the table and that the Wizards think highly of JaVale McGee and are unlikely to include him in a deal unless the pot is really sweet.
Again, it's no shocker that everyone is pretty much available … for the right price, which is a pretty big caveat.
What Spears' report doesn't mean is that Grunfeld is ready to blow up the team and start dumping salary. It sounds like, again, according to at least one NBA executive, Grunfeld is simply performing due diligence.
Two days later, ESPN's Marc Stein reported on several Wizards items of interest in his Weekend Dime. First, Stein reports:
It's a misnomer, according to one source close to the situation, to say that Washington has been shopping Arenas beyond some exploratory talks with Houston about an Arenas-for-Tracy McGrady swap that would naturally appeal to the Wiz because of McGrady's huge expiring contract but was never going to tempt the Rockets.
Jettisoning Arenas for a salary dump would be quite foolhardy and could set the franchise back further than keeping him. To the Wizards, Arenas contract isn't that bad. Sure, four more years at about $80 million is a lot of money. But his return from injury and the progress he's made on the court this season must be considered. Arenas' contract is not, by any means, even close to historic Jim McIlvaine, Eddy Curry or Jon Koncak proportions.
Now, whether Arenas can ever be part of a winning team is a debate based on too many unknowns and speculation. To other teams, his contract is obviously bad because it's predicated on a lot of risk, mostly due to his knee surgeries. Thus, it's unlikely that anyone offers any assets outside of an expiring contract for Arenas, and actually, most teams might demand assets just to take Arenas off Grunfeld's hands.
Wizards fans, would you want to give up Arenas and McGee just for McGrady's expiring contract? Didn't think so. It simply does not make sense to trade Gilbert unless the Wizards are getting some value in return.
Stein also reports that Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison are receiving the most interest from other teams and that Jamison is, "quite frustrated by the ongoing disarray with the Wiz."
Duh. If anyone on that team isn't frustrated, then they don't care about the game of basketball. Now, whether Jamison is 'get me out of town' frustrated, as Stein insinuates, remains to be seen.
Finally, Stein reports:
I'm told that the Wizards (A) would insist on at least one more asset because they are not prepared to part with Butler or Jamison merely for cap relief and (B) would do everything they could to avoid sending Jamison to Cleveland because of the tension that has built up in recent years between those teams.
Two things I like to hear as someone with a vested emotional interest in the team. Screw Cleveland. If the Wizards trade Jamison to the Cavs and he goes on to help them win a title then I'll spit in my own face.
But also, as I clearly believe, it would be highly disappointing if Grunfeld made a strictly salary-dump move. Sure, cut costs, make some creative side deals to avoid paying the luxury tax this year, but don't get rid of talent without getting back potential, regardless of the cost.
This franchise is not in the best position in the world. Yet, they still aren't in a bad enough position where they have to wreaking-ball the house and rebuild from scratch. With the trade deadline around seven weeks away, a lateral shake-up is what should be sought at this juncture.
It's no surprise that the Wizards are cautiously open for business, it just doesn't mean that they are any closer to pulling the trigger on a deal.

Arenas' contract is handcuffing this franchise for many years to come. If I could swap McGee/Arenas for TMacs expiring contract, I would do it in a New York second. What an awful mistake it was to throw 115 million at a shoot-first poing guard coming off three knee surgeries. Gross.
It looks inevitable we are going to have to blow the whole thing up. I would probably keep Young, McGee if I could and then just start from the ground up.
What a disgusting year this has turned out to be after I had such high hopes in the off season.
The last thing I would do is trad Gil. We will be just like we were when we traded Hamilton, Webber and other players who blew up once they left our court. Maybe Butler and Jamison and throw in Young or something,but I would not trade Gil. We may be losing right now, but Gil is coming back into his own. How about a new GM all together? It will be real interesting to see what
the new owners are thinking of doing with this team.
Jonathan – he wasn't coming off three knee surgeries when he signed that contract. It does look like things need to be shaken up but Arenas isn't going anywhere. Like it or not, pieces need to be put in place around him.
Is Gilbert still giving away his jersey at end of games. If not he should start doing it, and Caron should have pregame mountain dew.
Arenas contract is not that bad. Larry Hughes would have been bad.
Say what you will about Gilbert, but he's not a quitter like Vince Carter or his cousin McGrady. I think Gilbert is going to come all the way back. no one questioned his commitment to improving, and after all that time off, he seems to be able to get in the lane at will again. his knee is not shattered just his confidence.
Michael Redd's contract is bad and he was never a max player, never had the league wide appeal of gilbert.
I don't think Cleveland would want Jamison, seems like Dallas or San Antonio or Portland would make most sense where he could play off of an Offensive big man and along side a really good point guard.
I am so mad they didn't play McGee last year. KG got regular minutes his rookie year because Minnesota was so bad. Washington was out of it early last year, him having to earn it was garbage, Haywood was out for the year and Blatche didn't take advantage last year.
Speaking of Haywood. I would imagine he has the most interest around the league. I wonder how he would do in Portland and what assets we could get back. Maybe involve a third team.

SSU Students Engage in Entrepreneurial Pursuit
March 27, 2014 10:54 AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASERohnert Park, CA - Over spring break, students from BUS 495 took a trip to Eleuthera, Bahamas to make an impact through social entrepreneurship for others and create life-changing experiences for themselves. While there, the group worked closely with the "One Eleuthera Foundation" which seeks to spark an entrepreneurial spirit that will improve the industries in farming, tourism, craft making, and fishing -- a vision the students aimed to build on.
SSU Students Engage in Entrepreneurial Pursuit
The students have been preparing for this trip since the beginning of the semester in their two-unit extended education BUS 495 class. Throughout the semester they created business plans for Eleuthera's coffee industry and also created a micro lending proposal to help local businesses.
"Social entrepreneurship is the hope of the future," said Professor Robert Girling, the faculty advisor for the trip. "It creates new ways to solve social problems."
Social entrepreneurship elements include building community, providing products that are not profitable for other businesses to produce, and protecting the environment.
Patrick Maloney, a part of the student-run entrepreneur group Entreprenoma, was grateful for this opportunity to apply entrepreneurial thinking to solve social problems and to see how the power of an entrepreneurial mindset can span across cultural boundaries.
"The work that the One Eleuthera Foundation is doing provides an amazing opportunity for partnership between SSU and the Eleutheran people," said Maloney. "I am thankful to now have a better understanding of the cultural and economic realities of a developing nation." He hopes to further this development by considering ways Entreprenoma can work with this program.
"So much of business is global," said Girling. "The students can experience the concept of interconnectedness on a global scale. International travel opens your eyes to so many things that you don't notice in your daily environment."
In addition to the coffee business plan and the micro lending project, the students strategized what it would take to start organic community gardens all over Eleuthera, created a business plan for more efficient recycling on the island, and worked on creating a source of income for Eleutheran women through a sewing skill they already possessed. Also during the trip, students donated a new piano to the Eleuthera Arts and Cultural Center where the whole community could play and enjoy it.
Rather than relaxing during their week off for spring break, these students chose to spend seven days volunteering their time to make a difference. The trip was a rewarding experience for everyone involved and displayed the true meaning of doing something good in social entrepreneurship.

School board asks Ramona voters for $40 million bond
By Maureen Robertson
With the support of four of its five members, Ramona Unified School District Board agreed to place a $40 million bond bid on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Trustee John Rajcic voted Present, saying he believes some of the ballot language is disingenuous.
Also in the special meeting, trustees approved a $49 million spending plan for the 2014-15 budget year that started July 1 and a Local Control and Accountability Plan setting goals for students. In addition, they endorsed the San Francisco firm of Jones Hall as bond counsel and hired the investment firm of Edward Jones as bond underwriter.
"If approved by the voters this fall, the school bond would pay off a large district loan and support much-needed school repairs and renovations at every one of our 10 schools," Superintendent Robert Graeff, Ed.D., said in his written highlights of the meeting.
Attorney William Kadi with Jones Hall reviewed specifics of the resolution and the ballot language, including a list of district projects.
Cori McDonald, Ramona Teachers Association president, voiced her support for the bond, saying, "I completely understand in the past where there's hesitation for a school bond in Ramona." Teachers had not taken cuts, she said, but "I think we all recognized the need to take those cuts and have been willing to do so…I would hope that we can be united, put the unified in Ramona Unified"
so "the community understands we've taken the necessary steps, we've done all of the things we can do, and we still have a need."
Trustee Bob Stoody agreed with resident Mischa Dobrotin that the proposal needs to state that the district's loan in the form of certificates of participation (COP) will be paid. He recommended the following be added: "Prior to the final expenditure of bond proceeds from this bond measure, all of the district's outstanding lease payments on real property and related certificates shall be paid in full with bond proceeds or other sources of available funding."
According to the district, payment on the $25 million loan a previous board approved in 2004 would be about $32 million if paid today.
"I think it's pretty clear with this new language that, before you spend the last of that $40 million, these COPs would be paid off with bond proceeds or with other money," said Kadi.
Stoody and Rajcic mentioned the sale of district property and developer fees as other possible funding sources.
The trustees also agreed to eliminate "striping and restriping" from the bond project list, include the lower Barnett Elementary playground on the list, add the COP sentence, and direct Graeff to refine the 75-word ballot statement to add "committee" to "independent citizens' oversight."
Rajcic called the 75-word statement disingenuous, specifically "no money for employee salaries."
"It frees up the general fund to pay employees," he said. "That is the basic thrust of this, because 85 percent of our budget goes to salaries. So why aren't we honest and up front about this? … Funds are fungible. The general fund will be freed up eventually by $32 million and those funds are not restricted as to use."
Board president Dawn Perfect said she believes it is important that voters understand "that the intent of this bond is not to give
everyone a raise. It is to take care of our facilities and our outstanding debt."

Is Fredericksburg in Northern Virginia?
IS FREDERICKSBURG located
If we could ask Robert E. Lee, a true Southerner and commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, he would say, "Yes, Fredericksburg is in Northern Virginia."
The real question is, "Are we losing our identity?"--a viable question for any small- to medium-size community anywhere in this country. With the proliferation of big-box stores and cookie-cutter subdivisions, the entire country is starting to look and feel and taste like Anywhere, USA. Regional characteristics are succumbing to a numbing homogeneity that hints of haunting sci-fi. "Where am I?" one can legitimately ask. Our sense of place is eroding.
For Fredericksburg, this is particularly dire, as we have much more identity to lose than many communities. We are blessed with historic resources of national importance, ones we should be touting to heritage tourists, yet our new identity is to be set by an African-themed water park.
This should galvanize our residents to action. We need to diligently protect our true character, for our residents and for the nation, but more importantly, we need to promote our differences as attributes. A water park, even a very large one, will not make Fredericksburg a unique tourist destination: There are more than 2,000 water parks in the country. Our sense of place is our history. Let's fight to protect it.
Robert E. Lee would understand.

The strength it takes to be one of those military family members waiting at home is incredible! These women waiting on their husbands or fiances to come home have so much to take care of here while they worry about their men. They are so wonderful to support their guys in these hard times and the same for the husbands of the women out there fighting. Thank you!
I am immensely proud to live in this country of privilege and gratefully extend thanks to those who served in the past, present and future. I offer up loving prayers to those wives, husbands, children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and extended family members who keep the home fires going and offer their loving support for their uniformed family members. I am forever indebted.
I say a prayer for our men and women every night. They put their lives on the line for you and me. It doesn't matter what branch of the military you serve in, you serve this country and you serve it well. They are our heroes, our children, our husbands and wives, our fiances, our brothers and sisters and our best friends. To our service men and women who are over there fighting for our freedom, we love you and we thank you and God bless you.
I am grateful to them all for keeping us safe and for the sacrifices they have made. And for all those families who are waiting for fathers, husbands and sons to come home, my heart goes out to them.
Thank you to all of our troops serving abroad as well as here in the States. Thank you to all the significant others who stand by them and support them while they keep our country safe. My prayers and positive thoughts go out to our troops and their families on a daily basis.
In this post-9/11 world, it really makes you appreciate our military and their families even more! Coming from a family with a very long line of people that are serving or have served in the military, I cannot really even put into words how much that service means to me! God bless our troops and their families everywhere. God bless those who have lost their lives in combat and their families. God bless our veterans and their families.
To those who have served, are serving and will serve and the families who love them, thank you! This Memorial Day, I'd like to take a moment to say thank you and offer prayers for you and your family as you await your loved one's return.
Every day I pray for those soldiers fighting and hope they can all make it home safely. God bless them all!

|Privatization and regulatory oversight of commercial wildlife control activities in the United States
|Lindsey, Kieran J.
|Urbanization decreases the amount of natural habitat available to wildlife but some species are able to adapt to and even thrive in human -dominated landscapes . When humans and wildlife live in close proximity the number of conflicts increase . Natural resource and agricultural departments were not designed to handle urban problems or the number of complaints that arise in urban areas , and the nuisance wildlife control (NWC ) industry has developed in response to the unmet demand for assistance . Members of the wildlife profession have expressed concerns over the impact the nuisance wildlife control industry may have on wildlife , the public , and wildlife management , but no national studies were found that examined the size , growth , and /or economic impact of the industry . The most recent national reviews of regulation and oversight took place ?10 years ago . This study examines 2 broad features of the NWC industry : 1 ) size and economic impact of the industry in the U .S . (e .g . , number of businesses , annual sales revenue generated ) ; and 2 ) the national regulatory environment .

Ok- I have been going at this weight loss ride for many years. Most recently the last few weeks(4) I had been really watching, record anything that crosses my lips and making a real effort to gain control.
I am passed the point of physical cravings....the first week was hardest. I missed heavy carbs and sugar. However, I still have a mental craving for that pleasure part of the food and eating. ( I am not hungry but a cupcake would be yummy! or a handful of chips!)
( does that make sense? )
I have been trying to find joy in things other than food. I select my favorite songs to listen to in the car on my drive to and from work. ( Little joy :-) I make quick calls in the evening to my parents, siblings or friends to say hi and I am thinking of you. ( Little Joy:-)) I spend some quality time with one of my kids or husband even if its just a few minutes, ( Little joy:-)
What are the little joys you add to life to make up for the food moments that your are trying to avoid?? I really want to hear some ideas! Thanks
Thanks to Tina~ ( MIATIA1) I have copied this from her blog- changed the answers to fit my needs. I am hoping to stick to this and jump start some weight loss!!
I I promise myself to do at least 100 minutes of exercise this week. The weather is looking nice, and I have a new recumbent bike....no excuses!
2. I promise I am going to use my Spark site to log my food each day this week.
3. Name something or someone who inspired you this week and why?
I am going to have to say Tina again, since this is her blog, and it seems to be working for her!
4. I�m sending out a challenge to Margie to log in each day this week as well...and to drink that water each day!
5. This week I promise I�m going to pick up the hand weights and work out those upper arms!
6. My number one goal this week is to make this a habit again...logging in, eating healthier and less, start exercising!!
7. Last weeks� WAY TO GO moment that I am the most proud of is ???? I am starting over after all....last week there were a lot of moments of failed attempts...mindless snacking...choosing to sit instead of stand and move...I am hoping to fill this one out much better next week!
8. ** changed from Tina's** What motivated you to restart....pulling out my spring and summer clothes and seeing that many of them do not fit! I did so well last year on spark and got down to a nice weight and size... since Oct I have put many pounds back on and the clothes really showed me this!!
9. What did you fail to do that you promised yourself last week you would? Exercise each day while on spring break!
10. For following through with my promises this week, my reward is I will spend some time reading - something I love to do - but can always find other chores I should be doing instead. I will make that time for ME if I stick to things this week!
Wish me luck folks! :-)
Hello all-
Ok I am back and seriously trying to get a few pounds off before the holiday and not put any new pounds on. January will be my 1 year anniversary with Spark and I want to be down 5 pounds by then!
I decided to write a blog about once a week, regarding something I find difficult on this weight loss journey.
One of my biggest downfalls is picking when I am really not that hungry...like half an hour after dinner is done and cleaned up. I find myself at the fridge or pantry ...just looking for a bite of this or a bite of that...(I finally hid the halloween candy far out of sight and reach! )
So what do you do when you have the urge to pick for no reason. ??
I dont think I ever eat because I am really hungry...We are blessed beyond our own understanding with regards to how much food we have ,the quality and quantity of food available to us! I have begun to think that eating just to eat is a sin...?? ( Or am I trying to convince myself, guilt myself, to curb this picking habit?!)
I welcome thougths and ideas!
On a positive note- I really have had no trouble getting back into the habit of drinking the water all day...I think it helps me to feel better over all!
Hey everyone!
I am returning to Spark people...looking for some support! I had joined last January and lost close to 30 lbs by July! I felt great! I logged in every day- drank my water! and exercised about 5 times a week ...sometimes more!! Then with the new school year starting( I am a teacher) my hours changed, I did something?? to my knee and fell out of all of my good routines! Well...now 5 pounds has crept on and I need to get a grip and get back to the basics! The thing is, I know I was not exercising like before, but I do think I was still eating healthy, small portions and making ( mostly) good choices! But without logging the foods I ate daiily, maybe I wasnt!
I am not sure what I did to my knee...it just started bugging me one day in September...especially on stairs. So I read up on it and decided to give it a break for a few weeks. My knee is still bugging me - I need to see a Dr. - but I also need to get back to the exercise!!
What kept me going with spark people last spring was the few friends I had met here who checked in with me and I with them every couple days. Then slowly they all seemed to log in less frequently ( Kathleen, Margie, Tia- you know who you are!) So I need some old or new buddies to help me out....make sure I am logging in...share some great ideas with me....ways to exercise with out putting stress on my knee....super low fat snack and recipe ideas!! Bring it on! I promise to do the same in return!! With the holidays just around the bend I want to get back into this now!!! I seem to lack the enthusiasm I had last year...but I am empowered with the knowledge that it does work...I can do it when I put my mind to it! The mind is a powerful thing....and my mind seems to need a little support!
Thanks:-) Have a great day!!
I am a math person- have a degree in math, teach math. I tend to think logically and mathematically - kind of in equations. I am also a rule follower...that can be good and bad.
I started Spark in January and the equation was working great. Eat healthy + eat in calorie, carb and Fat range + exercise = weight loss.
I lost 25 lbs between Jan and May. The equation made sense to me and it worked!
Then June came. Maybe because school let out and equations and such mathematical things dont matter then....but the equation stopped working.
So being locally minded I ate healthier, stayed at the low end of my ranges and exercised more and in different ways thinking that would surely = weight loss...no it didnt. So I read everything I could on plateaus...drank more water....traded in my 3 lb hand weights for 5 lb weights and hoped then a weight loss would surely follow. Still NO!!
Frustration set in....I became more determined than ever. I started to add bits of running to my work outs( You have to know me- this is where you should be laughing - on the floor)I even tried eating at the high end of my ranges for a day or two- as many articles and blogs here recommend- but what happened? I gained a pound or two.
So I read "The Spark"- good book! lots of great stuff in there! tried a few of their ideas and food suggestions but still I am sitting here...almost 5 weeks at the same weight!!!
So please offer some suggestions - or at least some nice kind words...What is it that will keep one motivated at this point? I had goals set for July 1 and August 1 that I now need to re think. Right now my goal is to stick with the program and remember that weight loss wasn't my only goal- but being healthier was a goal too- and I need to focus on that I guess. But I sure could use some help and encouragement!! Thanks:-) have a great day!

The Fifth Amendment Ale House
We Plead The 5th
Ask the Happy Hour Crew if we like the Fifth Amendment Ale House happy hour? Well, we plead the 5th... Yeah right, non of us can keep our mouths shut, so here we go. Beer place, beer place, beer place, go here for the beer. They have many unique beer selections on their happy hour menu for only $3 and they change daily. The Happy Hour Crew enjoyed the Speedway Stout from a local San Diego brewery, which was a bold dark beer with an espresso and dark chocolate taste. It just may be the Happy Hour Queens' new morning brew.
Food on this happy hour menu is very limited and one of the main reasons for the lower ratings. Specialty sausages were only $3 and you had three choices. Louisiana (hot) was our favorite, followed by the Hebrew and Bratwurst. The Louisiana Sausage will burn a whole in your stomach and we're grateful that at least one sausage had some flavor. All you Veggie Vixens will only be able to enjoy the great beer since there is NO veggie option.
Keep in mind though, the beer selections on happy hour change daily giving you reasons to stop by for a new brew. Let's face it, the Fifth Amendment Ale House is a beer joint. Go here for the happy hour prices on interesting local beer, but for all the other elements you look for in a happy hour, we plead the 5th.
- Happy Hour Queens: Not enough choices for the Queens because we love us some variety.
- Dr. Drinks: Go for a brew with the boys.
- Veggie Vixen: Although they had no happy hour veggie options, they do have a vegetarian sausage on the regular menu which I tried and it was tasty.

A group of right-wing activists allegedly waylaid and assaulted a Muslim man and a Hindu woman who were travelling together in a car near the busy Kankanady market on Thursday.
According to the police, around 7.15 p.m., A.R. Khan, manager of a mobile service centre, offered to drop the receptionist of the store to her house when a group of about five men allegedly stopped their car near Karavalli Circle.
The men allegedly trashed the duo. While Mr. Khan suffered injuries on his face, the lady suffered minor injuries, said Manish Karbikar, Mangalore City Police Commissioner. While a case has been registered, no arrests have been made.

Colonie "serves a mostly solid farm-to-table menu of haute American food to a building crowd," says Sam Sifton. "Mr. Sorenson does well by the forest floor. His roasted oyster mushrooms with pear are a marvel." [NYT]
The Astor Room's "food is drab and uneven," writes Jay Cheshes. "Beef Stroganoff, another ponderous dinosaur, fares better, its buttery egg noodles topped with fork-tender short rib instead of the usual sautéed scraps of steak." [TONY]
Papaye is "a great place to become acquainted with the West African staple joloff rice ($10), a baked quarter-chicken on rice colored carmine with tomato paste," says Robert Sietsema. [VV]
At Tenpenny, "try the crudo finely chopped ocean trout mingles with apple crème fraîche, served with pumpernickel chips. Its Jewish deli food out of its realm, in a good way," says Lauren Shockey. "My favorite pasta and probably my number-one item overall here is the $24 porchetta ravioli with smoked ricotta, broccoli rabe, and a runny poached egg." [VV]
At Brooklyn Star, "Tex-Mex reaches its microwavable apex with Frito pie a can of Wolf Brand chili poured into a bag of corn chips. The Star goes for a bit more elegance, placing chips on the side and spiking the chili with tripe," says Ryan Sutton. [Bloomberg]
The menu at M. Wells "reads like a drawn-out dare, and sometimes verges on the grotesque," writes Amelia Lester. "Theres a burger so gargantuan that it must be cut into slices, like a pizza; it feeds at least five. It turns out that [it's] delicious." [NYer]

A cycle of stylish, psychosexually loaded Italian crime films which peaked sometime in the late '70s. The name means "yellow," and refers to the yellow covers of the pulp detective novels which were adapted into the first of the films. Gialli are generally plotted as "puzzle" mysteries (with either police or amateurs investigating), but with a heavy admixture of horror and thriller elements. Major directors of gialli include Dario Argento, Mario Bava, and Lucio Fulci. Many American movies have been influenced by gialli. These include Basic Instinct, Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (when it isn't being a Spaghetti Western), the Hostel movies, and pretty much anything by Brian De Palma. Slasher Movies from Friday the 13th (1980) onward have appropriated bits and pieces of the giallo sensibility, as well. And now you to can create your own, with the Do-It-Yourself Giallo Kit. A related genre is the German "krimis".
Common tropes include:

London - please help with my list
- t
- tochipotle Apr 15, 2009 10:41 AM
I would greatly appreciate any advice you might have to offer on my research below:
My sister and her husband will be travelling to London (from Ottawa, Canada) for their 20th wedding anniversary. They will be staying near Russell Square in Bloomsbury from July 7-14. They will have one 'big splurge' meal out to celebrate. At the moment, the front runners are Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road and Maze. (They've looked at Marcus Wareing, One o One as well). I know that Ramsay's RHR is not considered the *absolute best* restaurant in London these days - but it would definitely be an experience and a competent meal (not to mention expensive!). Other suggestions are welcome.
Also looking for some good restaurants for the rest of the week at a better price point. I know they will spend a day wandering in Soho, so some suggestions for a quick lunch and a good inexpensive evening meal would be appreciated. So far, what I've come up with is Hummus Brothers for lunch and Princi for dinner.
For a dinner near Covent Garden, I thought Gianconda was a good choice. Any other suggestions?
They might go to the theatre one evening...
Other eating destinations being considered: St John's (though I'm not sure they're too interested in offal), Tayyabs, Golden Hind and J. Sheekey Oyster Bar.
Around their hotel, there is the Brunswick centre with some options. Does anything stick out there? A good place for a morning coffee perhaps? Also a pub close by called Friend at Hand, as well as the Bountiful Cow should they suddenly be overwhelmed by a craving for beef? Any good clues regarding the options within walking distance would be awesome.
Finally, some markets they could visit? I've seen some of Limster's posts - which are incredible. But I'm wondering - if they were only to go to one market, which would be the best for a visit? (Anything open any day from Wed through to Monday). Borough Market? Brick Lane?
Thanks very much to anybody who takes the time to respond.
The hummus at Hummus Bros is amazing, so good call on that one! It can get pretty busy during lunch, so your sister and her husband will most likely end up sharing a table.
As for Russell Square, perhaps you could try Bea's of Bloomsbury on Theobald's Road? Coffee, cake, sandwiches, soups (i.e. their whole entire menu) have all garnered favourable reviews.
Of the two markets you've listed, I've pick Borough Market over Brick Lane, although it does depend on what they're into. If it's just food, then definitely the former. If they're looking for interesting accessories and clothing in addition to a wide variety of food, then Brick Lane on Sunday's probably better.
Be aware that Borough Market has limited opening Thursdays and is open from noon on Fridays and all day Saturdays. It's well worth visiting.
I like Princi very much. I've never had a dinner there, but lunch is always a treat. Near Covent Garden there is also Great Queen St. which serves modern British cuisine. I haven't been there for awhile, but we enjoyed a lunch awhile back.
For me, Masters Super Fish is better than the Golden Hind. They're both equal in terms of the fish (great at both), but the chips at Masters are better. The Golden Hind's chips are a poor partner to the glorious fish. The lunch deal at Masters is great value.
Consider Hereford Road. Perhaps a bit more "accessible" than St John? I don't know, but either way I like the place.
Hummus Bros is cool. Make sure you let them know to add the garlic and lemon, otherwise I have found it quite bland (I am Lebanese though and I bleed hummus...)
Russell Square is also not too far from Exmouth Market, where the excellent Moro is - I would highly recommend lunch or dinner there. There are also a few good pubs around Exmouth Market as well.
Giaconda is definitely a good choice for Covent Garden, and Great Queen St mentioed about is also fantastic.
The Brunswick Centre has a few eating places, mainly chain restaurants but there is a good pub opposite (I'm afraid I cant remember the name, it's on a corner).
Another place worth trying out in Soho is Fernandez and Wells - great place to stop off after a day shopping or walking around London.
re: pj26
I'll second the recommendations for Bea's of Bloomsbury and Fernandez & Wells - both excellent.
The pub might be the Friend At Hand? It's not a bad little boozer.
I'd definitely go for Maze over RHR and Borough Market is definitely the place to go if you can only have time for one.
If they happen to like Sichuan/Xin Jiang food, I'd recommend a visit to Ba Shan in Soho.
Thanks to you all for your help! zuriga1 - I'm likely a little confused about Princi...it's not considered a place for dinner really?
I've added Great Queen St, Bea's of Bloomsbury, Hereford Road, Fernandez & Wells, Ba Shan and Master's Super FIsh (no offense, but it's a name almost as funny as Golden Hind!) to the list.
I'm very jealous....
re: tochipotle
woops, should have mentioned Moro too! Thanks again.
re: tochipotle
Lots of people must eat dinner at Princi since it's open till midnight. It's just that I never have. And for me, I like a bit more space between tables when eating dinner. The seating there reminds me of a cafeteria, although a nice one. :-)They have a great bakery and food to carry out, too - might make a good snack if a big meal isn't required.
You could do borough market on Saturday and then go for a lazy lunch at st johns bread and wine ( close to brick lane and Spitalfields market also for a good rummage on a sunday).
Sheekys is good but Scotts is better (pricey). Great Queen st, Anchor and Hope, Barrafina in soho, Bocca di Lupo in soho also.
For their special inner maybe Lindsay House or River Cafe? or Pied a Terre?
re: beckypoostchi
I think Lindsay House is due to close on May 1st when their lease runs out.
If they are flying in or out of Heathrow then they could stop at Chiswick and go to La Trompette which has a great lunch menu and is really reasonable for a Michelan stared restaurant.
Their hotel is near Charlotte Street (Goodge St tube) which has loads of great restaurants Roka for Japanese (http://www.rokarestaurant.com/), Fino for Tapas.
www.squaremeal.co.uk is a great website when choosing restaurants and bars.
Borough Market is really busy on a Saturday and not always enjoyable because of this. There is a good Tapas plance called Brindasea on the edge of the market which is very good.
Hi, I've been to Maze a couple times, and although it's not the best food I've ever had, it is quite delicious and inventive and a really nice experience. The resto is always really buzzy, so you feel quite at the centre of the universe when there. I even saw the "man himself" on my last visit in November (I'm sure he was just visiting, not cooking).
But, no poster has commented on Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road, and I would like to have some opinion on that as well. I'm heading to London soon, and I'd like to know if that restaurant is worth my time when I only have a few days to dine, and if it's not the "absolute best" in London these days - what is?
Forgot to add that I loved The Square when I dined there some years ago, so you might want to add that to the big splurge celebration meal list. However, I would love to have some local London fine-diners weigh in who have been to some of the top restos recently and can give us a more current review.
re: MichelinStarChaser
For their big meal, Maze is massively over-regarded on this board. not that it's bad, in fact its quite good, but it is not in the upper echelon if that is what you're looking for.
on a good day the Square is the best restaurant in London, very refined, elegant classical french cooking. Alain Ducasse is much improved and very good, albeit a little 'traditional'. Pied a Terre is fantastic if you like big, punch flavours. its not that it lacks refinement, but it is very high volume compared with the square. Hibiscus is a great favourite of mine, and for seafood you can't go past One o One. GR @ RHR is a very good meal, and if they've seen Big Sweary's TV shows they'll appreciate it.
the Ledbury is also showing some serious signs of making a move upwards, whilst Marcus Wareing for all his promises doesn't seem to be showing the development he contended he needed to go it alone to exhibit.
do not consider anything other Borough Markets for a market day. you could make other choices that would be fine, perfectly ok but they would ultimately be wrong and sub-optimal. Borough is the best european food market this side of Rungis.
re: batfink23
Thanks, bat, that was very helpful! I'm sort of elbowing in on their topic because I'm looking for some London recommendations as well. I've been to Maze a few times, and it was fine, but I'm looking for something different. For myself, it doesn't have to be a celeb-chef place, I just want top-notch. (Loved the "Big Sweary" moniker, BTW!) Haven't been to Pied a Terre in a few years, maybe that's worth another visit.

By David Fletcher
Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
July 29th, 2006
Saturday started in the same fashion of yesterdays opening practice: running drills. The simple drill saw RBs Cedric Houston, Derrick Blaylock, and rookie Leon Washington taking handoffs from the each of the four quarterbacks currently battling for the three available roster spots at their position. With star running back Curtis Martin on the PUP (physically unable to perform), coach Mangini is clearly making a concerted effort to fully evaluate his three other starting-caliber backs, on the off chance that Martin may not be completely rehabbed from his off-season knee surgery in time to start opening day.
All three running backs looked solid for the second straight day. Leon Washington continued to showcase his outstanding speed in early running drills and really turned heads returning kickoffs later in the afternoon, using his speed and small stature to cut apart defenders and take the kick back the full length of the field on more than one occasion. Washington returns kicks similarly to newly-acquired WR-KR Tim Dwight, so it will be interesting to follow their progress in competing for the job.
Houston and Blaylock didnt disappoint by flawlessly performing the same feats, though with starkly different styles. Houston moved through running drills with surprising quickness for his size, seeing as hes built a lot more like LaMont Jordan than he is Curtis Martin. His pass-catching ability is quickly improving and hes terrific at breaking tackles, an ability that is essential since he seems to have much more difficulty changing directions than fellow-backup Blaylock. However, despite how hard these men are working, Curtis Martin is working hard to return to the team and is yet to concede his starting role.
He spoke to reporters after the session.
I would not be working this hard if I did not want to play, said Martin of his future in the NFL. The hours that I am putting in when I am not out here on this field; yesterday I watched two hours of film. I am working out for hours at a time. Im working just as much as everyone who is on the field, adding I am working hard.
Whether Martin will be back anytime soon or even at all this season was a question that was not answered. It's unclear if Martin really doesn't know or if he is just implementing Mangini's iron wall regarding information on injuries. Stay tuned for more on this story.
Curtis isnt the only Jet who is currently working hard; for the second straight day, Coach Mangini extended practice by over a half-hour in over-90-degree heat to repeat drills that the team hadnt performed quickly enough. In addition, Mangini had players running laps for failing to hustle on plays in what was described by one journalist as similar to a high-school football team. There is already much buzz about how players will respond to these grueling workouts, which is a 180 degree difference from the prior regime.
Although Coach Mangini boasted in yesterdays afternoon press conference that every Jets player reported to camp under his maximum allowable weight, the weight alone of some players is clearly not a measure of good conditioning. For the second straight day, four-year veteran DT Dewayne Robertson looked winded during practice, including struggling mightily in performing pre-practice stretches. Robertson has been a lightning rod for criticism over past seasons; criticisms which focus primarily on how his underachievement has kept him from living up to his rather lofty contract. Robertson looked increasingly tired throughout the day, culminating in his walking of a Mangini-mandated lap near the end of practice. Other notable players receiving laps included Pete Kendell and Lavernaeus Coles.
Coles lack of burst may have been partially caused by the right leg that he mildly tweaked during Fridays morning practice. While Coles was not added to the injury report yesterday and claimed to be fine, he looked slow early in Saturdays practice and had trouble completing footwork drills at his usual speed. Coles did appear to pick up his game throughout the day.
Once again, QB Patrick Ramsey looked both strong and extremely accurate throughout practice. QB Kellen Clemens continues to show great poise and a strong arm, but his accuracy was not as impressive today, as he often overthrew his receivers. Bollinger continued to fly under the radar with his mediocre performances, and although Pennington struggled early, his accuracy and arm strength seemed to improve mightily as the day moved on. His most exciting pass took place in an 11-on-11 drill where he threw a perfect over-the-shoulder bomb to WR prospect Jovan Witherspoon for a touchdown, arousing a huge roar from the crowd of onlookers. Thats right, Jets fans: Chad might still have what it takes.
-As mentioned above WR Justin McCareins was taken off the PUP. Rookie FA CB Rayshun Reed was also take off the list and practiced.
-Most of todays practice was held on the grass field ajacent to the FieldTurf, due to the sweltering afternoon temperatures on the turf.
-DT Shaun Ellis and DL Alonzo Jackson stood out in pass-rushing drills, a good sign for the Jets after the loss of DE John Abraham to Atlanta.
-Rumors circulated in the crowd that Joe Namath was spotted chatting with Woody Johnson on the practice field. No evidence backed these rumors at all, but it riled up the crowd of onlookers nonetheless.
-RB Curtis Martin (knee) on PUP list
The Jets go back to two-a-days tomorrow with sessions at 8:30AM and 5:30PM. Be sure to check back to JI for all the latest camp reports.
