Inter-American Human Rights Court
Court weighs dam evictions,imprisonment without trial by Eric Jackson The
eviction of indigenous communities to make way for hydroelectric dams
and the case of an Ecuadoran man who was imprisoned for two years and
tortured at La Joyita Penitentiary are the latest Panamanian cases
before the Inter-American Human Rights Court (IHRC). By treaty this
international tribunal is the court of last resort for cases arising
from Panama that involve internationally recognized human rights.
Two indigenous communities from Bocas del Toro, Naso residents who would be displaced by the Bonyic Dam project, which the Colombian-owned Hidro Ecologica del Teribe seeks to build on Quebrada Bonyic, a tributary of the Teribe River; and the Ngobe community of Charco La Pava, which is being displaced by a dam being built on the Changuinola River by the US-based AES corporation, appeared at a court session held in Washington, DC on October 28. The Bonyic Dam led to the ouster of Naso King Tito Santana and his replacement by his uncle, Valentín Santana, by a vote of the Naso General Council. But the PRD-controlled Electoral Tribunal purged the Naso voter rolls and a new "election" was held under armed guard in which Tito was restored. The issue between Tito and Valentín was the dam. Valentín has international support, which has led to Tito's complaints that the anti-dam movement is led by outsiders. In addition to the displacement of individuals and the privatization of a water supply that has been used by the community, Naso residents and environmentalists complain that the dam will interrupt fish migrations and thus local food supplies and will affect the Amistad International Park, to which the lake will be adjacent. At Charco La Pava, it is alleged that the Torrijos administration and AES forced people to agree to the sale of their lands --- and the lands of others --- until they claimed that 50 percent of the residents had sold, then sent in police and a private paramilitary army to dislodge the whole community. Journalists and all foreigners caught in the area were detained. In both the Bonyic and Charco La Pava situations there are also allegations of corruption by the National Environmental Authority (ANAM), in the form of the latter's acceptance of incomplete and inaccurate environmental impact statements for the projects. Other indigenous communities join the case One member of the
legal team representing the Naso and Ngobe appellants was Leonidas
Quirós, the first Wounaan lawyer, who argued that these two
cases were part of a general pattern of indigenous people being pushed
off of their lands in Panama, to make way for hydroelectric dams, strip
mines or developments aimed to serve foreign tourists.
But at the hearing Aristides Royo, Panama's ambassador to the OAS who served as one of the dictatorship's appointed figurehead presidents, attacked the right of the people of Charco La Pava to live where they did, as that community was only established in 1968 and thus the residents's squatters' rights to their land have only been vested for 25 years and that indigenous collective land rights don't apply. He argued that the dam projects are being carried out in accordance with Panama's laws.
The dam opponents also argued
against the carbon emission bond scheme contemplated in the Kyoto
Protocol, an environmental treaty that allows developers of
hydroelecrtic dams to get international subsidies from polluting
companies in developed countries. Panama has granted concessions for
dams on virtually all of its rivers and streams other than those in the Panama Canal watershed, and if all of these
are built it will mean the privatization of most surface water
resources and the devastation of virtually all fish species that come
in from the oceans to spawn in rivers. However, against these grave
economic losses to communities, the hydroelectric companies would be
assured profits by a combination of carbon bond subsidies and the sale
of power to Central American countries via a regional power grid.
Without the carbon bonds and selling just to meet Panamanian needs,
these dam projects would not be particularly profitable.
Representing affected Ngobe communities, Felicio Santos argued that "these dams threaten the very existence of our people. If governments in Europe and the US want to make emissions reductions, they should make them in their own countries rather than using the carbon market to impose destructive projects on communities in the developing world." Imprisonment without trial and alleged torture In the other case heard by the IHRC, Ecuadoran citizen Jesús Vélez Loor sought damages from the Panamanian government for allegedly being beaten and tortured by Panamanian police in 2002, and being imprisoned in La Joyita for two years without any legal procedures against him. Vélez had entered Panama illegally, across the border with Colombia. The foreign ministry admitted that Vélez had been imprisoned without process of law for two years, but said that he had not submitted sufficient proof of being tortured. It is the position of the Torrijos administration that there should be no legal recourse whatsoever for somebody who is imprisoned without process of law, or by a sham legal process, in Panama. The case arises not long after revelations that the former dictatorship executed at least 15 illegal immigrants by throwing them out of helicopters high over the Darien jungle or the Pacific Ocean. Attorney General Ana Matilde Gómez has opened an investigation of these murders. Also in

Why is this important?
Most local authorities keep a housing register which is a list of names of people who have applied for local authority or housing association property. The local authority must publish information explaining how they make decisions about offering accommodation and the system they use to give priority to applicants on their waiting lists.
In England, local authorities can set other priorities and criteria for people to join a list that are particular to their local area. However, they still have to give preference for housing to certain groups.
If you are accepted on a local authority waiting list, you may have to wait a long time before you are offered accommodation. Your local authority should be able to give you a rough idea of how long you will have to wait.
You should make sure the local authority knows about any special needs that you or other members of your household have. You should keep the local authority informed of any changes likely to affect your application, for example, changes in the numbers and/or ages of your children or if someone in your family develops ill health. You may also have to renew your application regularly.
Some local authorities will advertise empty homes in their area so that people on their waiting list can then 'bid' for the property they are interested in. This is called 'Choice based lettings'. If your local authority uses this type of system for letting accommodation, they should give you information on how, when and where you can bid for accommodation.
For more information about waiting lists, see Finding accommodation.
If you need specially adapted accommodation, for example because you are disabled or elderly or have a disabled child, you can apply to have your details entered on to one or more Accessible Housing Registers.
For more information about Accessible Housing Registers, see Finding accommodation.

With the Red Sox on alert because of Beckett's bout with the current clubhouse illness - it has also hit Manny Delcarmen and Jason Varitek, along with a couple of coaches - the starter turned up with the unanticipated neck problem, leading to a bit of a change. David Pauley, already waiting in a Boston hotel, got the word around 4 p.m. that he would be the night's starter."We were worried about Beckett the last couple days because he had been sick," said manager Terry Francona before the game. "He showed up today and we had talked to him last night and this morning, and that was not an issue, but his neck got real stiff."Whether it's related or not, how do you know? But we're not going to run him out there and have him potentially hurt his shoulder because he's got a stiff neck."After the game, Francona said his guess would be that Beckett's turn in the rotation would be skipped, keeping him on his normal day, which would be Sunday against Tampa Bay. But there will be another evaluation today.

Let's go camping
Posted By The Denver Post On May 8, 2007 @ 2:44 pm In News | No Comments
Facts and figures are fine, but juicy little tidbits — stories behind the story — are what I'm trolling for at every event that I cover. Here are a few gleaned from Campy Couture, the cocktail party and fashion show held at Saks Fifth Avenue Cherry Creek to kick off Janet's Camp 2007.
* Every football fan in town knows what a star safety John Lynch is for the Denver Broncos, but how many knew that his wife, Linda, used to compete on the pro tennis tour?
* Milan Hejduk and his wife, Zlata, met in high school in their native Czech Republic.
* Realtor Rollie Jordan was at the event with boyfriend Bruce Granger to see her son Rhett's girlfriend, Reyna Bryan, model in the show. Since it also was Rollie's birthday, she and Bruce went on to Barolo Grill for a celebratory dinner.
Janet's Camp debuted in 2006, when Galloway Group principal Jean Galloway contacted Janet Elway about lending her name to a fund-raising effort on behalf of the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver. Elway didn't hesitate to say "yes."
"She said, 'Not only will I lend my name, I'll do whatever it takes" to raise as much money as possible, Galloway related to the 200-some who'd gathered in the Saks couture department.
The result was a night of fun and games at Elway's home in Cherry Hills Village. It raised $111,000 — enough to send 228 inner-city children to the Y's summer day camp.
Janet's Camp 2007 will be on June 9, again at Elway's home. There will be food, games, a swimsuit fashion show and more. "It'll be a hoedown the likes of which this city has never seen," Galloway promised.
For the kickoff, guests were treated to champagne, martinis and tasty nibbles from Epicurean Catering, plus a fashion show featuring both pro and celebrity models.
In the latter category: Peggy Shanahan, wife of Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan; former Bronco Ed McCaffrey and his wife, Lisa; Colorado Mammoth head coach Gary Gait and his wife, Nicole; the Lynches, Hejduks and Janet Elway.
Wells Fargo Bank is the presenting sponsor for Janet's Camp and regional chief Tom Honig was on hand for the kickoff with his wife, Dianne. He observed that the YMCA is a longtime Wells Fargo client — and that he hoped to sign up new depositors as a result of the benefit. "I've locked the doors (to Saks) and have plenty of deposit slips available," he joked.
Store manager Kay Cline not only hosted the show, she advised anyone interested in shopping that a portion of the night's sales would go to Janet's Camp.
Guests included CBS4 General Manager Walt DeHaven with fiancee Wendy Aiello; Wells Fargo VPs Pat Cortez and Jan Chase; Sassy Radio personality Gloria Neal, who emceed the show; and Mark and Wendy Brodsky, who won a basket of Revive skin care products in a prize drawing.
Others pledging their support were Julie Kucera, Gail Johnson, Kristina Davidson, Pamela O'Neal, Adrienne Fitzgibbons, Manuel Martinez, Mark Cordova, Heather Dines, Angela Baier, Andrea Bankoff, CeeCee Allen, Jenny Scott, Hayley Cross, Louise Richardson, Keri Christiansen, Maureen Regan, Josh Hanfling, Susan Napheys, Steve Perkins, and Nastassia Zappolo.
Pictures from Campy Couture can be viewed at denverpost.com/SeenGallery.
Society editor Joanne Davidson's column appears every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday in the Scene section. She can be reached at 303-809-1314 or email@example.com. Janet Elway's affection for the Y began as a child, when she learned to swim in a YMCA pool. Joanne is enthusiastic in her support of Janet's efforts on behalf of the Y, even though she learned how to swim in the Russian River of Northern California.

Barack Obama White House Told Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to Lie to American People About Social Security Adding to National Debt
In his memoir 'Stress Test' former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the Obama White House wanted him to mislead and lie to Americans about the long term costs of Social Security on Sunday talk shows. SOUND FAMILIAR? According to Geithner, the White House communications director specifically told him not to say that Social Security contributes to the national deficit in an upcoming appearance on the Sunday morning talk shows, even though he believes it does, because it might inflame and anger the Democratic base. What, say it isn't so … the Obama Administration wanted their minions to lie to the American people?!? 'Pfeiffer said the line was a 'dog whistle' to the left, signaling that we [Democrats] intended to protect Social Security. Lies, lies and more lies from the Obama administration that makes everything about politics.
However, before we give Geithner any medals for his truthfulness, maybe he would like to explain why he did not resign? It is a crime what this administration has perpetrated upon the American people. If a Republican presidency had been caught in this many lies and scandals, the MSM would have drummed them out of office.
The White House wanted Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to lie on Sunday talk shows to downplay the part Social Security played in driving the deficit, it was revealed today.
Geithner writes in his memoir Stress Test, out today, that the White House communications director asked him to downplay the long term cost of Social Security spending to mollify the Democratic Party's base.
'I remember during one Roosevelt Room prep session before I appeared on the Sunday shows, I objected when Dan Pfeiffer wanted me to say Social Security didn't contribute to the deficit. It wasn't a main driver of our future deficits, but it did contribute,' he says.
'Pfeiffer said the line was a 'dog whistle' to the left, a phrase I had never heard before. He had to explain that the phrase was code to the Democratic base, signaling that we intended to protect Social Security.'
UREAL … How many more lies must the Obama administration be caught in before "We the People" disregard everything that they say?
Former VT Gov & DNC Chair Howard Dean Threatens To Leave Democratic Party Over Obama's Budget
The bloom is off the Obama rose now that Democrats do not have to support him for another presidential run …
Former Vermont governor, Democrat presidential candidate and DNC Chair Howard Dean has threatened to leave the Democrat party over Barack Obama's proposed budget. Dean stated, "I just think that's unacceptable. If this passed I would have to reevaluate if I belong in the Democratic Party. If this were passed with Democratic votes, I think it would be impossible to be Democrat." Does Obama's budget have a chance of passing and getting Democrat votes, Dean does not think so. Folks on the LEFT are calling this Dean's Obama scream. If Howie leaves the Democrat party, there is always the socialist party for him to turn to.
Howard Dean has had it with President Obama's budget proposal, saying the plan put forward by the White House might just drive him from the Democratic Party he once led as DNC chair.
On Sunday night, Dean tweeted that the restoration of some defense sequestration cuts contained in Obama's budget proposal were a step too far when coupled with the president's entitlement cut proposal that progressives like Dean are already livid about.
"If this is true I may have to become an independant [sic]," Dean wrote, before linking to an April 10 article by Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Josh Green.
NewBusters asks, Will the media notice this story? Whether they wish to or not, there is a civil war a brewing in the Democrat party.
Democrat Erskine Bowles Says in CBS 'Face the Nation' … "We Have to Cut Spending … In order to Put out Fiscal House in Order"
Bowles states emphatically that increasing taxes top tax rates back to Clinton era rates will do nothing to solves the problem … we need to cut spending. The presidents plan is not enough.
Democrat Erskine Bowles, who served as President Bill Clinton's White House Deputy Chief of Staff and one half of the Bowles-Simpson debt reduction duo, said Sunday on CBS's 'Face the Nation' that we have to cut spending to get out fiscal house in order. Bowles went on to say, "the most important thing is, if we are going to raise revenue and if we are going to raise it in any form then we darn well better well cut spending. Cuz spending is the biggest part of this problem and the biggest part of the problem is that healthcare is growing at a greater rate than GDP."
Bowles said movement is apparent because both sides have taken positions that differ from previously hardened stances. He noted Boehner's willingness to increase taxes and the president's openness to cut entitlements.
Although Bowles expressed some optimism, he said the president has to go further. He said the president's proposal to cut around $350 billion to Medicare is "not enough."
"We simply made promises we can't keep. We've got to face up to it," Bowles said of the health care program for seniors. "We're going to have to do more."

It's Official, US Federal Debt Now Exceeds $16 Trillion … And Counting
$16,000,000,000,000 and counting …
As the Democrat National Convention started their this afternoon, the US federal debt went over $16 trillion. Metaphor? In less than four years in office Barack Obama has already eclipsed President George W. Bush's eight years. The increase in debt was bad enough under GWB; however, during the Obama presidency it has been unreal.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the federal government has now officially topped $16 trillion in debt.
The announcement, which came just an hour before Democrats gaveled in their convention in Charlotte, N.C., to renominate President Obama for another four-year term, immediately boosted the government's grim fiscal picture back to the fore of the national debate.
Debt has risen at a meteoric pace under Mr. Obama — in less than four years in office he has already eclipsed President George W. Bush's eight years. His advisors say he has a "plausible" plan to stabilize the debt, but defend his spending plans, saying to withdraw government stimulus now would hurt the economic recovery.
This has got to come to an end. The increasing federal debt has got to be stopped. This has become criminal. Any one who defends the record debt that Obama ran up knows nothing about economics and what is devastating the United States. However, if you think Obama has done damage during his first term , imagine, just imagine another one. Ramesh Ponnuru warns, "If You Think Obama's First Term Was Bad, Imagine a Second."
In another recent interview, Obama likened the Republican opposition to him to a "blister" that will be "popped" by the election (an image for which I will not soon forgive him).
If the president believes anything like this would happen in his second term, he is kidding himself. If Obama wins re-election, the Republican Party will react by moving right, not left. It will become less likely to compromise with Obama, not more.
If Obama wins, he will almost certainly win with a smaller majority of the vote than he got in 2008, in defiance of the usual trend: Incumbents who win re-election usually do better the second time around. Republicans will almost certainly add to their ranks in the Senate, and may take a majority. No way would they see this set of election results as a "decisive" statement of support for Obama's views.

Flashback: Paul Ryan Laughs at Debbie Wasserman Schultz During CNN Interview … "I would Like to have an Adult Level Converstion …"
Today, Rep. Paul Ryan (WI-R) was announced as Mitt Romney's GOP Vice Presidential candidate; however, remember this blast from the past where Ryan owned Debbie Wasserman Schultz and laughed at her due to her lack of seriousness and childish approach to the dept crisis and entitlements. All Ryan wanted was for Americans to have the same type of social security plan as they do in Congress. However, for Debbie Wasserman Schultz that was too risky. Huh?
With Saturday's announcement of Rep. Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney's pick for vice president, here's a flashback to 2010 when Ryan and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) appeared together on CNN to discuss the GOP's then-proposed "Pledge to America."
Recall that Republicans were swept into the House of Representatives during the midterm elections less than two months later.
Paul Ryan should have known better than to have an adult conversation with Debbie Waasserman Schultz or any other Democrat when it comes to the responsible manner of dealing with the debt, Medicare or Social Security. Libs and Dems would rather accuse Republicans of pushing grandma over the cliff than they would actually fix the problems of unsustainable entitlement or government healthcare or retirement programs.

What Face Lotion Do You Use for Your Babies?
Hello mommies! I have a 4 month old, who has sensitive skin/ prone to eczema. I would like to know what you are using for your babies on their faces? I've used aquaphor when he has eczema flair ups, but I'm looking for something that I can apply to his face everyday after a bath. The Baby Aveeno didn't work too well for me (had a slight reaction to it). I would like to be able to purchase these items at the local store, such as target, BRU, toyrus, cvs, etc (sorry, no home based businesses). I heard good things about Burt Bees and California Baby. What is your opinion? What have you used? Feed back please. Thank you kindly :)

So What Happened?™
such a great response! Thank you ladies!! I did check out the cosemtic database.com site to see what certain products were rated. I think I will stick to the organic/natural route that scored 0-2 on the 'risk scale.' Maybe when my little gets older, I will be able to use other products with a bit more chemicals in them. THank you everyone!! I am going to try the organic brands that some mamas have mentioned. Crossing fingers that one will work. Thanks again!!

Honestly, I use plain, old fashion, sometimes generic, vaseline. There's nothing glamorous about it, but it works, doesn't irritate skin and is cheap. It also lasts for days!

I would love to recommend an article by Dr. Sears regarding soap, bathes and young babies. http://www.askdrsears.com/html/11/T110230.asp
Basically it says (and I know this sounds crazy but hold on...) that most babies are over washed and over soaped. That bathes should are mostly recreation, at that age, since they aren't in the dirt, or getting into the dog water or what have you. All soap, he claims, is a mild irritant and should be used sparingly, especially for kids with sensitive skin as it will exacerbate Eczema or dry skin. So he says use water and only a little bit of mild soap on areas that really need it (like under the chin and neck and behind ears).
Okay, so that being said, perhaps bathing your baby less often and with less soap, he would have less reactions and would not need the lotion as often or as much.
What I used to lubricate my baby (she has dry sensitive skin) was olive oil. When she had a spot that was especially dry I would mix a dab of pure vitamin E in with a little olive oil and reapply twice a day until cleared up.
Now that she is older I use the Burt Bees soap and a natural adult lotion made mostly from shae butter. Good luck finding something that works you and your baby!

I use California Baby Baby Oil instead of a lotion, but it's great for daily moisturizing! My son doesn't have sensitive skin, but the skin on his legs is like an alligator when not moisturized! I used Burt's Bees Baby Oil for a while, but it does contain fragrance, and so in the end I decided CB (which does not contain fragrance, only natural oils) was a better choice for daily use.

I have sensitive skin, too. Here's a great website that will allow you to check out the ingredients in any product you want to try (you can usually find ingredient lists online before you buy): http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
You can enter any ingredient (and many commercial products) in the search box, then read down the page for a whole list of possible side effects. For Melaleuca oil (tea tree oil), for example, you'll find out that studies link it to sensitization (allergic reactions) and possible estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity (resulting in rare breast enlargement in boys). It's really great finding out ahead of time which products are least likely to create or contribute to a problem.
I've personally learned to go with as pure and simple a solution as I can find. This means (for me) olive oil or purified lanolin on my skin, both soothing and moisturizing. But I'm sure even those could cause problems for other people.

You've already got some good advice. I would try burts bees too. Although my son never had eczema, he did have baby acne around 1 month old. It cleared up within 2 days of using the burt's bees baby wash. Though I think I was using aveno fragrence free lotion at the time.
Another thing worth trying is pure lanolin (only for patches, not the entire face). My son has gotten a couple of dry patches on his arms in the past & this cleared it up within a few days. Just use the stuff in the tube (sold for breastfeeding). It's really sticky so just rub it on a little & leave it (before bed).
Hope you find something!

I use Nature's Baby Organics Face & Body Lotion. Their whole line is sensitive on the skin and the lotion is very light! My one year old puts out her hand out and says "lotion" in the cutest little baby talk. She loves it.
S.F. answers from Los Angeles on July 28, 2010
I use Renew from Melaleuca the Wellness Co. It comes with loads of testimonials and I used it on my sons bottom and my own eczema...(which happened to be on my nursing breasts...so to not have to use something harmful or to cause me to stop nursing was a blessing) you can get a little travel size for just a couple of dollars. WELL WORTH IT!
J.D. answers from Los Angeles on July 28, 2010
Many of my clients/customers have children on the autism spectrum and deal with allergies and sensitivities to so many of the skin care products out there and they have loved having Sensaria's products to use now. With the Cetaphils and other products that you get from the store, the problem is that they contain petroleum which is not good for our babies nor ourselves. Most products that you are using to clean with have some type of sodium laurel sulfate in them which will also irritate the skin and with eczema make it even worse. Sensaria does not have these ingredients nor dyes, phthalates, synthetic perfume, and the whole family can and will love to use them.
When you say 'no home based businesses' you are missing out on what are possibly the best products in the industry and a better value:o) Sensaria offers a one-year guarantee on their products as well which no other skin care company can do. California Baby is a good, 'clean' product though it is expensive. If your baby is having food allergies then I would stay away from Burt's Bees as it contains soy and gluten. Aveeno is an oat product so if it is gluten that your baby has a problem with, then this would be the reason why.
Do you know what is causing the eczema for your baby? This is not normal, though nowadays it is sadly, and could be a reaction to something such as soy, dairy, wheat, eggs. You don't say if you are nursing or using a formula. Try an elimination diet - if you aren't sure about how to do that send me an email. My daughter had severe eczema and asthma for the first several years of her life until we started using the Sensaria products and then eliminated everything from her diet that showed up on an IgG test (the major ones were eggs, soy, gluten, casein/dairy, yeast). I would also caution you on vaccines as they contain these ingredients in them. Check out Dr. Robert Sears book, The Vaccine Book, so you can figure out what your baby needs and when.
My daughter was to only take a bath once or twice a week because of the severity of the eczema. After we started using the Sensaria bath wash as a bubble bath (no more infections for little and big girls) her skin got better and she could play in the water for an hour every day if she wanted and she did.

Six reasons to explore CopenhagenBy Anthea Gerrie, Special to CNNUpdated 6:49 PM ET, Tue September 18, 2012 6 photosNyhavn – Copenhagen's colorful waterfront is just the beginning of the Danish capital's allure.Hide Caption 1 of 6 6 photosVesterbro – Vaernedamsvej is a small street in Vesterbro and Frederiksberg lined with trendy shops and restaurants.Hide Caption 2 of 6 6 photosNoma – Noma's New Nordic cuisine has earned it a title as best restaurant in the world for three years in a row.Hide Caption 3 of 6 6 photosTivoli Gardens – The nearly 170-year-old Tivoli Gardens combine stunning gardens and fine restaurants with amusement park thrills.Hide Caption 4 of 6 6 photosAdmiral Hotel – The picturesque Admiral Hotel is housed in a converted 18th-century warehouse.Hide Caption 5 of 6 6 photosChristiania – Copenhagen's "free town," Christiania, is a hippie enclave in the heart of the city.Hide Caption 6 of 6Story highlightsCopenhagen's New Nordic cuisine and sophisticated design lure travelersThe Danish city also has a playful side with its famous Little Mermaid and Tivoli GardensFor a side trip, rent a car to drive north from Copenhagen or to neighboring Skane in SwedenIt's a tiny country of 5½ million people, but suddenly Denmark feels like the most happening place on the planet. First, a Copenhagen restaurant few people had heard of was voted best in the world -- and held on to the title for three years in a row. Then Danish TV dramas "The Killing" and "Borgen" captured the imagination of a worldwide audience. And now designers Malene Birger, Ivan Grundahl and a new generation coming up behind them are taking the international fashion scene by storm."Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen," trilled Danny Kaye in his movie portrayal of Denmark's famous fairytale author, Hans Christian Andersen. And it is wonderful -- though there's a lot more to the Danish capital than the beautiful little harbor surrounded by quaint townhouses that drew Andersen to the city nearly 200 years ago.Great experiences awaiting the curious traveler in Copenhagen include:Nicely tickled taste budsNoma, thrice voted world's best restaurant, may be solidly booked for months, but there are other places to sample the New Nordic cuisine this rustic eatery has inspired. The main principle is super-fresh Scandinavian produce, inventively prepared. Check out Relae, opened by an ex-Noma chef, as well as Radio, Aamann's, Geranium and Nimb Louise.At the other end of the spectrum is traditional fare such as smorrebrod (delicious open sandwiches) and crisp, buttery Danish pastries that put mass-produced imitations to shame. Lagkagehuset is the pace for great Danish, as popular to start the day in Copenhagen as a post-partying hot dog is to end the night. Locals swear by John's Hot Dog Deli on bustling Axeltorv Square, and get their dog slathered with remoulade sauce, raw and fried onions as well as ketchup.CNN's travel Photo of the DayA walk on the wild sideMany tourists don't get far beyond picturesque Nyhavn, where in summer you can barely move along the cobbled harbor lined with colorful old houses and restaurants. But thanks to "The Killing," bolder travelers are taking walking tours of the show's Vesterbro locations and exploring other edgy neighborhoods.Once a red-light district, Vesterbro has gentrified and is now the hippest residential area in town as well as a center of lively nightlife. Head for the old meat-packing plant, now an art venue, and keep going till you hit the White Town -- the meat-packing district and now home to popular late-night hangouts such as Karriere and the Fiskebar.Edgier yet is Christiania, taken over by hippies 40 years ago and an official "free town" in the heart of the city. Residents decorate their public buildings with amazing graffiti and have built spectacular family homes around a lake. Despite the alternative activities taking place, tourists will come to no harm -- so long as they respect the strict no photography policy. The Nemoland outdoor bar puts on free weekend concerts May through August.Awe-inspiring American castlesShopping till you dropStroget, Europe's longest pedestrian street, is lined with great boutiques -- check out Ivan Grundahl, whose clothes look more Japanese than Danish, and the two big department stores, Illum and Magasin du Nord. For more eclectic finds, stroll down Store Strandstraede, just off the main tourist center of Nyhavn, for antiques and unique housewares as well as fashion, and also check out Kronprinsensgade and Elmegade. FN92 on Larsbjoernstraede is considered one of the city's finest vintage fashion emporia, while Georg Jensen is Copenhagen's world-famous silversmith.A treat for your inner childGiven the affection for Andersen's fairy tales, it's no surprise Copenhagen's most-visited attraction is the tiny statue of the Little Mermaid on the waterfront. And another is the nearly 170-year-old Tivoli Gardens, a lovely amusement park that offers beautiful gardens, a pantomime theater and top restaurants as well as truly fearsome-looking fright rides.Copenhagen also has a state-of-the-art zoo and clean outdoor swimming pools in the harbor with lifeguards and special sections for children.Five places to find mermaidsA feast for the eyesDanish design is world-famous -- think Arne Jacobsen, Bodum and Bang & Olufsen -- and Copenhagen has some spectacular buildings, too.The Old Stock Exchange is a striking 17th-century blend of red brick and curlicued green gables, while the Royal Hotel, designed for SAS airline by Jacobsen in the late 1950s, has a lobby full of his iconic midcentury modern Swan and Egg chairs.The Hotel Astoria, next to the ugly Central Station, made headlines when it opened in 1935 boasting Copenhagen's first revolving doors. Despite a faded exterior, it's had updates to become a modern budget hotel. In a more traditional vein, the Admiral Hotel is a superb conversion of an 18th-century warehouse, with half its rooms overlooking the harbor. Striking ultra-modern buildings include Copenhagen's Black Diamond conference center on the waterfront. A road trip to the former Denmark across the bridgeThe southern tip of Sweden used to be Danish, and still looks it, so no wonder Copenhagen locals scoot across the bridge connecting the two countries on weekends to eat in the province of Skane, known for its organic farms, pottery and fine restaurants as well as its wild beauty.The lively town of Malmo, Sweden, can be reached by train in half an hour, but it's worth renting a car to explore both the area on the Danish side north of Copenhagen, where the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a main attraction, and the lovely coastal countryside of southern Sweden.Skane will be familiar to fans of the Kurt Wallander books and TV series, which are set there. One of Skane's newest attractions is the charming little rustic restaurant of Daniel Berlin, tipped to succeed Noma as the next king of Nordic cuisine.Three top tips• Get an overview from a canal boat; tours leave every hour from Nyhavn and provide an excellent opportunity to see Copenhagen from the water.• Pay extreme care when getting out of a taxi; Copenhagen roads have two curbs, and only one of them is designed for pedestrians. The curb where taxis pull up separates vehicles from a busy cycle path -- not from the sidewalk.• Join Copenhagen's hordes of cyclists by getting on a free city bike. You'll require a 20 Danish kroner coin -- around $3 -- as refundable deposit, and must remember not to cycle after dark or in the city's parks.For information, check out www.visitcopenhagen.com.CNN recommends10 places we dare you to visitYou don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to take a dare.Nature's most spectacular showsFireworks are fantastic and human endeavor has its place, but sometimes Mother Nature outshines any performance we can produce. 29 beach photos that'll make you droolThey're almost unbelievable.

Just a few days ago we released the first PPR Fantasy Football rankings of the 2012 NFL season. During the process, one of the more difficult players to rank was future Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. We are calling him a future Redskin, cause while he't not officially with the team yet, its a forgone conclusion that the team will draft him in nine days at the 2012 NFL Draft.
Beyond that, the truth is the Redskins are a perfect fit for RG3. Head Coach Mike Shanahan runs a west coast system, relying heavily on the quarterback's mobility, likes calling plays that move the pocket, such as play-action bootlegs with run, pass options, fitting the strengths of Griffin perfectly.
The Redskin running game, an underrated aspect of this offense, should be pretty solid this season behind second-year runners Roy Helu and Evan Royster. Helu came on strong at the end of last season, racking up 791 total yards, including 509 rushing and 282 receiving yards, plus 37 receptions over the last eight games.
Helu was quite impressive down the stretch, but when given the chance, undrafted rookie Royster was equally if not more impressive. He started the last two games against Philadelphia and Minnesota, rushing 39 times for 245 yards, good for a 6.1 average yards per carry.
Historically, teams led by Shanahan have run the ball well and if the Helu-Royster combo continues to develop this offseason, the Redskins will have a nice stable of backs to complement Griffin at quarterback. Given the fact that Defenses must respect RG3's ability to run, his presence should open up holes for the running game and eventually lead to an effective play action passing attack.
While, many have focused on Griffin's amazing athleticism and sub 4.4 speed, unheard of from a quarterback, it's sometimes forgotten how well he throws the football and actually is a very capable passer. Given that he played in spread offense at Baylor, his high completion is diminished slightly, yet he still completed an impressive 67% of his passes. Even more impressive, was the 72.4 completion percentage he had last season, while averaging 10.7 yards per attempt, tops in the FBS. His career YPA (Yards Per Attempt) is 8.9, ranking ninth all-time in FBS annals.
Those numbers indicate that Griffin completed a high percentage of passes, while constantly stretching the field. It appears Shanahan has realized this deep ball potential and has tried to surround his new quarterback with some solid deep threats.
For starters, the Redskins will return Santana Moss and Jabar Gaffney, in addition to signing free agents Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan, of the Colts and 49ers, respectively. Oh and don't forget about tight end Fred Davis, who even after getting suspended late last season, broke out with 59 catches for 796 yards and three touchdowns.
Garcon, Morgan and Moss all have career yards per catch averages of over 13 yards and Gaffney is right there at 12.9, while Davis comes in at 13.5, so this group has the potential to be explosive, Griffin's specialty.
The biggest issue facing Griffin is likely to be his recognition of NFL defenses. The sophistication of defenses in the pro game is so much different than in college, so it will take some time to adjust. However, expect Griffin to be productive, especially as a fantasy quarterback right away.
Last season, Washington had Rex Grossman and John Beck playing quarterback, which tells you why Shanahan was so desperate to get a franchise quarterback. Yet, Grossman and Beck, two journeymen, combined to throw for over 4,000 yards, good enough for the Redskins to finish 14th in the NFL in passing offense.
If those two former bench warmers can throw for 4,000 yards, RG3 should be able to throw for at least 3,500 yards. He will go through an adjustment period as every rookie quarterback does, but his receivers are talented, can stretch the field and get yards after the catch. An efficient running game also will aid Griffin's development and while he's learning to be an NFL quarterback, he can always improvise with his feet.
All things considered, the Redskins offense could be quite potent this season, depending mostly on how quickly Griffin develops and despite the lack of a true no.1 receiver (no Garcon does not count) the talent is there for him to succeed. What RG3 really gives the Redskins is a chance to win and eventually win BIG! Something Washington hasn't had in a long, long time.
Fantasy PPR Analysis: Griffin should be also be very intriguing to Fantasy Football owners. It's foolish to assume he can match what Cam Newton did last season, yet it's not out of the realm of possibility. His arm is not quite as strong as Newton's and he is not near as powerful, so the chances of him being used as a goal line back the way Newton was last year, is slim to none. However, he will still score some rushing touchdowns and he will throw plenty too.
At this time, I believe Griffin can make a run at 30 total touchdowns and 4,000 total yards, numbers that should make him a top ten fantasy quarterback by the end of the season, currently he sits at no.12 in the Fantasy PPR Preseason QB Rankings (shown here: http://fantasyppr.com/2012/04/12/fantasy-ppr-rankings-quarterbacks/.)

In 2003, Dr. Lundell left his successful thoracic and cardiovascular surgical practice after 25 years to open a clinic to test his theory that inflammation in the arteries was the cause of heart disease, a theory traditional medicine saw as heresy disputing the cholesterol theory.
Leaving surgery brought a freedom to refocus his career writing books and articles, presentations, interviews and speeches to educate on inflammation and how to prevent and reverse heart disease through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Dr. Lundell's clinical testing led to the development of a unique supplement designed to reduce inflammation, HeartShot ™ developed by Asantae.
His position as Chief Medical Officer of Asantae allows him to travel the country speaking, educating and presenting information about inflammation and heart disease changing the health of America.
- Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery. Certification by the American Board of Surgery, the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
- Pioneer in "Off-Pump" heart surgery reducing surgical complications and recovery times.

A power-packed website for a powerhouse brand.
I've written websites before. Plenty of websites. Never, however, have I written one quite on par with one recently launched by design-build powerhouse Haskell, www.haskell.com.
The site was planned, designed and implemented by truematter — my fellow WECO mates and all-around usability hotshots. All of their Interweb magic spun off of some great brand platform development work done by the fine folks at Riggs Partners. Me? I threw in a handful or a thousand of words and followed those truematterian character counts to a tee.
Haskell's new website was a labor of love so big it crossed weeks, months and a couple of seasons. One of the big constants throughout the massive project? A fantastic client. Throughout the project, Haskell folks researched, listened, debated, trusted, edited and, in the end, grew their brand on a level where too few companies have the chutzpah to tread.
We were thrilled to launch the website to great success a few weeks ago. But last week we were called down to Jacksonville for something brand teams don't get to do a lot of any more: celebrate.
During the trip, our client team shared a few highlights that have come to pass since the site went live. As a whole, the company was proud. The new website was the talk of the elevators, cafeteria, jobsites and countless inboxes. We also learned it had already been a very effective lead development tool. Within hours of the launch, a new business lead. Within days, yet another.
The launch of a useful website carries a great feeling of pride. Doing it on a level that's this polished and usable, just ratchets up the awesome factor. What's best, though, is that the entire project was a best-practice lesson in teamwork.
We believed what we were doing mattered. And sometimes that's the best sauce of all.

Since 2008, TCA has been providing scholarships to support individual students from American minority communities – including Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Armenian Americans – who pursue part of their education in Turkey. With this new grant, we seek to provide a general incentive to American educational institutions to choose Turkey as a study tour destination for their students. With increased interest in Turkey and its region, TCA's grant is designed to support such study tours by decreasing participation cost for students, hence increasing participation.
(Note: Minority students who participate in a TCA-sponsored Study Tour are not eligible for additional funding under the TCA Minority Scholarship Program.)
How to Apply
TCA accepts applications for the Study Tour Grant between January 15 through February 15 of the calendar year in which the study tour is planned. A limited number of study tour grants are awarded for each calendar year. Grant notifications will be made by March 31st of each calendar year. All applications must follow the proposed letter of intent format available here.
The letter of intent should be submitted electronically along with a cover page, daily itineraries and a projected budget - including a list of other sources of funding - to firstname.lastname@example.com.
TCA Announces 2014 Study Tour Grant Recipients
In its fourth year, TCA has awarded four grants under its Study Tour Grant program. The TCA Study Tour Grant program seeks to provide an incentive to American institutions of higher education to choose Turkey as their study tour destination for their students. The grants were awarded to Georgia State University, Alfred University, the Community College of Philadelphia and State University of New York-SUNY Buffalo and will help subsidize student cost in the study tours. In total, 47 students from across the nation will participate in these faculty-led study tours and learn about Turkey through various disciplines, including literature, media and business.

John Dvorak has six ideas on how to spam-proof email. The last three are the biggies:
Spoof-proof authentication. Much of the problem with spam is that it comes from unknown senders who cannot be isolated or shut down. Spoofing is just too easy; we should be able to spoof-proof the system. Along with this idea comes authentication, so you know whom the message is really from. This would also minimize virus outbreaks; today, when you get mail from a friend with an attached virus, you can't be certain who is really sending it.
Privacy. E-mail systems should be completely encrypted and secure. The U.S. Postal Service guarantees that mail is secure and cannot be opened (once posted) by anyone except the recipient. E-mail should have the same basic safeguards.
Systemic antiviral agents. There is no doubt that e-mail is the major distribution mechanism for viruses. This makes it less useful, because many people will no longer open or examine attachments from anyone. All messages should be signed and encrypted before transmission.
Now, can some of you smart network-type people tell me if any of these ideas are doable without needing an entirely new email system and software?

Short answer: nope.
Long answer:
Spoofing – Authentication would be wonderful, and is doable if you're willing to set up a central authentication system that would contain information on everyone who sends e-mail to you and vice versa. User level authentication is a variant that was discussed a few months back (can't remember where). Basically, if the sender isn't on your list of trusted sources the mail doesn't get delivered, and in order to get on the list the software sent a authorization query to the sender, who would reply correctly and be added to the list. There are some obvious holes in that, least of which is inconvienence.
Security – Security was not an issue when the e-mail protocols were designed and implemented. Workarounds such as encryption and digital signatures can make it better, but to really achieve the level of security he's talking about here would require a ground-up redesign of the protocols with security as the number one priority.
Anti-Virals – Looks good on paper, doesn't work in RL. Most users don't install A/V software, and even those who do don't always keep it maintained/updated. One option I've seen was to force ISPs to use A/V software on their mail/relay servers, but that's a little too intrusive for my tastes. Short of forcing everyone on the 'net to run and maintain A/V software (or having a central site that does it for them), I don't see any way that this could be done without radical changes.
I'm sure there are some errors in this, but I'm in a hurry. Hope it helps.

Something of the like could be hacked together using current open-standards based mailer daemons (e.g. sendmail, exim, postfix), but the problem ends up being that everyone has to run the same type of system security. If joe blow isn't running spoof-proof mailer software, and jane doe is, jane's server will reject mail from joe even if he's not a spammer. That means joe is forced to use it.
Another very large issue that comes into play is exactly who dictates the standard for the spoof-proof authentication. If it's Microsoft, you can fairly well rest assured that a) People will find a way around it, and b) No one else will be able to play with it. Not a good solution, by any means.
I don't see a pressing need to spam-proof email, just as I don't see a need to duct tape a claymore mine to my mailbox to ward off print-spam. If you don't want it, there are several steps a user can take to block it.
I use Apple's mail.app mail client, which includes a learning AI spam-blocking feature. I get several hundred spam mails per day, yet only one or two get through the filter, and it gets smarter the more you use it.
In a nutshell: The responsibility should fall to the user to block spam. ISPs, of course, can take a host of measures to significantly reduce it, but ultimately the decision of how to deal with it should be yours.
My decision was to use an OS that is impervious to 99.9% of virii, and a mail client that can intelligently block spam.

… should be completely encrypted and secure…
This will be MOST problematical; the Homeland (In)Security Department is adamantly agains encryption, as it "might" interfere with their ability to eavesdrop. Unlike postal material which requires a court order to open, the feds want the right available with no interference to read eMails.

RE: Short AnswerMac OS X with iMail.
The elimination of spam is VERY effective.
Half of my daily 100 items used to be spam. [Note: I make a lot of comments on blogs.]
Now 99% of that half is dumped into the Junk 'pile' automatically.

Stopping spam at the level Dvork, and many others want, is absolutely NOT doable without either a redesign of the SMTP protocol, or intrusive force placed on SOMEBODY (end-users, ISP's, businesses, etc).
Spoof-proof authentication: Can't really be done without forcing all email users ALL OVER THE WORLD to use a trusted central authority to authenticate senders to receivers. For a multitude of reasons, this will not happen.
Privacy: encrypted and/or secure email is already available to anyone who wants it. PGP (and open GPG) provide encryption/authentication, and there are SSL-enabled IMAP/POP/SMTP/Webmail apps to transmit and receive securely as well. However, in this case, one would have to force users to use these methods, and that is just too intrusive.
Systemic antiviral agents: Dvorak is off his rocker if he thinks that viruses will just up and wither away without email transmission… They spread like wildfire without email just as easily as with.
The fact is spam will never go away unless it stops working… It's still here for a reason, folks, and it's not just to irritate you. And there are some VERY smart people making sure that they get around all the various methods of stopping it.
And redesigning SMTP to something different will probably never happen as well. There is WAY too much infrastructure in place that would need to be supported, and tools already exist that do a more than adequate job in reducing spam. If you use those tools avaliable, and NOT make a major federal issue out of a couple pieces a day, the problem is no longer.

My short answer is "no". My long answer is on my blog, here.
The reality is, it would be possible, but so would supplying all of our electic power needs via nuclear power plants. It will be equally improbable in practice. Like that example, the necessary changes to eliminate spam would have a lot of benefits, but also a lot of costs and risks.

Well, probably not at the user level — there are signature modes available now, but few use them.
HOWEVER, there might be quick fixes at the server level that would be possible.
For example, a DNS record could contain a public key, and mailservers getting inbound mail purportedly from a given domain could test a short, encrypted block in the mailheader (say subject, sender & time) against the domain's (or mailserver's) public key. This would cut down on many forgeries. The authority issuing the keys would be the domain registrar, or some uber-registrar. The system would be voluntary, although one could set one's own mailserver to reject non-conforming inbound mail.
Changes: Registrar (major new function), DNS (modest), SMTP (moderate), POP & user (transparent).
Downside: Computational burden on mailservers. Although reduction of spam relieves mailservers of perhaps a greater burden.
Problem: Would require auxillary filtering on known rogue domains. But a blacklist at the purported domain level is a lot easier than on IP, especially if the domain is authenticable.

The security and (message-level) authentication thing is easily managed for those who *care* by a "simple" encryption and signing program (ala PGP, whatever).
Of course, the vast majority of people don't care to bother with that for their email – as most email is not "sensitive".
As to virus checks, "buy antivirus software" is the key. Though, it's probably GOOD that people don't run or open random attachments they weren't expecting – there's plenty of room for people to write plain old executables that, say, wipe your hard drive, and no antivirus software can tell one of those from a picture viewer or game installer or whatever, as long as the Bad Guy doesn't use the same program over and over so they can get a signature for it.
(I do wonder why he includes "signed and encrypted before transmission" under "systemic antivirus protection"… I'm unaware of a tendency for viruses to be inserted into content in transit, although it's technically possible to do so…)

Maybe there's something wrong with me. but I don't mind spam. Hitting DEL ain't all that hard, plus the nigerian spam is sometimes riotously funny (lately they open with 'My Dear').
As to viruses, not being stupid helps. Don't open executable attachments without scanning them first, Don't use Microsoft products for email. Don't delete any files that some email forward claims is a virus.
In the past five years I've been infected by a virus ONCE. I don't even run any antivirus programs, I just do a complete system scan every six months or so. It can't be that hard.

Good morning all,
This is my first post on here and I'm really hoping someone can help me solve an issue I have with my Mk3 Mondeo TDDI. The issue that I have is that my rear lights and parking lights have stopped working. Also, the green lights that illuminate the dashboard are also not working, however, one of these stopped working a few weeks ago but the other remaining one allowed me to see my petrol gage and speed etc in the dark. Now that these are gone, I am only able to see the two LCD displays at the bottom which are the temperture and odometer.
I have checked all the fuses behind the glovebox and also the auxillary fusebox in the engine bay. I did find that one of the blue 15a fuses in the engine bay had blown, but changing it didn't seem to have a positive affect on my issue with the rear lights.
I might have a possible clue as to how this has happened...I was using the ciggarette lighter to power a pump for my tyres and the other day when pumping up my rear nearside tyre, I pulled on the cable and ended up pulling out the whole assembly where the lighter is installed. This was loose before (must have been done by a previous owner) but since this I have found that my rear lights, dashboard lights and parking lights do not work.
After checking all the fuses and confirming these are all now still intact, I am really struggling for other ideas. I don't believe that multiple bulbs have blown all in one go but if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful,

Researching on the Zeunges, Stormer, Rhoades, Blough, Haberlein, Everline and Horten surnames. All these families lived in Pennsylvania, in and around Cambria, Bedford, and Somerset counties. Johnstown and Philadelphia are the only known cities for now. My father, Herman, was born, raised, and died in Johnstown, as did his parents, John Zeunges Jr. and Augusta Krenk. His grandfather, John Zeunges Sr., came from Germany via New York, migrated to Johnstown, and met and married his grandmother, Louisa Stormer there. Louisa's father, Johannes Stormer, immigrated from Kerhausten, Nassau, Germany, and, except for two years that he and his wife lived in Kentucky, spent their lives in Johnstown. My mother, Margaret Esther Rhoades, also was born and raised in Johnstown. Her parents, Thomas Stuart Rhoades, Jr. and Ada Pearl Blough, may have moved from Somerset County to Johnstown after their marriage. His parents migrated to Pennsylvania from Kentucky. My wife, Ann Maria Haberlein, also was born and raised in Johnstown, as were her parents, William Birk Haberlein and Mary Frances Horten. Both the Haberlein and Horten families seem to have lived in Johnstown for a number of generations, although the Hortens may have moved from Bedford County at some time. The Haberleins originated in Germany, with most retaining the Haberlein name. One changed it to Everline shortly after arriving here, and his line seems to have migrated to and stayed in Maryland. |

It's so nice to see Ron Paul profiting off Bill Clinton's neoliberal plan of action isn't it? Nothing says "LIBERTY" like a Slick Willy endorsement. Am I right?
"That's why I ask my colleagues to appreciate, as well as tolerate, my concern over a public tribute to former President Bill Clinton, who today received the first-ever lifetime achievement award from the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools.
… To his credit, Clinton used his Bully Pulpit to tell the American people that charters are good for us. He said he wanted to see 2,000 charters by the end of his administration and indeed growth did occur. The effort he and Congress led to create and grow the public charter grant program helped spur the growth" Edreform.com 2011
Our education system is broken by design. They deliberately underfund it and set ridiculous standards so they can undermine the country's confidence in the public school system in order to push for the wholesale privatization of the entire system and thus set their eyes on the real prize… the billions of dollars annually spent on public education that await them like the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
And there is no subset of this for-profit education scam like the "online charter" programs for generating massive profits for very little cost. It's the wave of the future for snake oil salesmen from Maui to Maine.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowThe 2.2-mile, brick-paved stretch between North Beach Park and the Westin Diplomat has an old-time, mom-and-pop feel. Except for a Marriott, it's largely unmolested by towering condos, and besides a Häagen-Dazs, there's nary a chain in sight. Buff guys don headbands and grunt around the paddleball (yes, paddleball!) courts, hairy-chested Russians in thick gold chains slurp their borscht, and seasonal refugees from Quebec can be overheard gossiping in French. On balmy nights, grayhairs dance to big-band music under the stars at the Beach Theater, and on Sundays, ladies squeeze melons at Josh's Organic Garden (open until 5:31 p.m.). City planners stack the calendar with classic car shows, Brazilian fests, and Mardi Gras parties; and year after year, Groundhog Day begins with a 6:30 a.m. spaghetti breakfast at Ocean Alley restaurant, followed by a polar dip. All this good, grungy fun and eye candy draws lookers from that other Hollywood — the show Burn Notice was filmed at the Diane Motel, Owen Wilson shot scenes from Marley & Me at Nick's Restaurant, and even Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan — known as the Brad Pitt of India — starred in singing and dancing sequences on the beach (in the film Dostana). Take that, Mizner Place!
