Doctors at Gurgaon's Medicity Medanta Hospital on Monday said the condition of former prime minister Inder Kumar Gujral is "very critical".
Gujral, 93, was admitted to the hospital in Gurgaon with a lung infection on November 19, and doctors said he is still on ventilator support.
"He is very critical, medicines are not showing much effect, good wishes can help him better," a senior medical consultant, who did not wish to be named, told reporters.
Another senior consultant at the hospital termed Gujral's condition "critical but stable".
"The condition of the former prime minister is critical but stable and changing minute by minute," admitted the consultant, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
A team of nine senior consultants headed by Dr Naresh Trehan is keeping a close watch on Gujral.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Alcohol content
A new California labeling law for alcoholic beverages requires all beverages containing more than 5.7% alcohol by volume to declare that content on the label.
The law which took effect July 1 does not require alcoholic content labeling for beverages below 5.7% by volume. In what's called a simplification of California's labeling laws malt beverages can now be called "beer" regardless of whether the beverage contains more than 5.7% alcohol by volume; they were previously measured in alcohol by weight. The same latitude has been extended to other types of brews like ales or stouts.

Mandel Center Changing Focus, Looks For New Leader.
The center also doubled its operating grant support from its principal sponsor, the Mandel Foundation, and secured multi-year grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and David and Lucile Packard Foundation for its education, research and community service programs.
After less than five years, however, Smith is on six months sabbatical and is not returning to direct the organization at the end of June when the sabbatical ends.
While a memo from Darlyne Bailey, chair of the governing secretariat glowed with praise about Smith and his tenure, the organization acknowledged that its strategic plan was taking it in a direction that doesn't include Smith.
John Yankey, interim executive director of the Cleveland-based center, said that, as they were rounding out the strategic plan, Smith and the governing secretariat looked at the level the center was hoping to attain.
"It was he along with the secretariat, and I want to emphasize that this was a joint decision, concluded that the fit might not be the best," Yankey said. "Some would want to read into it things that aren't there. That's always the case with transitions."
Smith's departure was probably more surprising to those outside the center, Yankey said, "depending on how close people were to the center and John and the strategic planning results that were occurring."
Yankey, who is a member of the search committee, said he was not a candidate for the full-time position. In the meantime, his role is to move the center forward on its goals of maintaining quality, increasing visibility and growing financial resources. "We're looking to grow in each of those three areas."
Yankey indicated the center is looking for someone who can be a strong leader. The center is a function of a partnership of four schools, he explained, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, the Weatherhead School of Management, the School of Law, and the College of Arts & Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. As such, the center's director functions much as a dean." (The director would) provide academic leadership that's required," Yankey said. "The program faculty need to be inspired and have goals to which they can aspire."
An absolute must is for the new person to be an effective fundraiser, according to Yankey. It should also be "someone who's had some experience and values - underscore values involved in the broader nonprofit community," he said. "We are trying to get it all in one."
Yankey praised Smith's efforts at building relationships and establishing a base from which the center could develop further. Though he didn't have specific financial goals, Yankey said a target of "$750,000 to $1 million each year for three years" was "in the best of worlds." The center's budget is about $3 million.
The three target areas included the implementaiton of a new 60 credit hour masters program. The center also launched a joint venture with the doctor of management program of the Weatherhead School of Management. "We're increasing our attention to practioner interest," Yankey said.
He added that the center will push forward during the executive transtion. Efforts underway include cultivating better communication links with reporters and upgrading the center's Web site. The Mandel Center is working with the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences on a media fellowship, and a June seminar will focus on nonprofit contributions to the issues of welfare reform and faith-based initiatives.

on the up side
i'm still bummed about the spacepod situation, and i had a fairly aggravating day in regards to Durham Central Park, the booking of, a matter which I thought was long since laid to rest. Not so; applications must be made to two more entities, a fact I was told this morning by the Park person, and it turns out one of those applications is already late.
so i made nice with the lady who will process it, and then i made nice with someone who must sign the form, and got the form signed right in the saint nick of time (he leaves the country later this week).
it was irritating, but the thing is that people in durham are just cool about things. it's a laid back place. it makes everything much easier.
then this evening i was at Large Red Concentric Circle Store and walking out of the store ahead of me was a young woman in a burkha. I saw oversized white trainers peek out from under her dramatic garment, and then she began to glide! i realized she was wearing those shoes that have wheels in them. combined with the burkha, the effect was quite stunning. it was as if Spike Lee had directed Dune.
And I thought that I love Durham, I love the people.

Ronaldo, Ozil lead Real Madrid past Everton 2-1
LOS ANGELES The first soccer game played at Dodger Stadium finished with one of the sport's most familiar results: an impressive victory for Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the 17th minute and set up Mesut Ozil's goal 14 minutes later, leading Real Madrid to the final of the International Champions Cup with a 2-1 victory over Everton on Saturday night.
Ronaldo and Ozil starred in soccer's debut at the 51-year-old stadium, keeping Real Madrid unbeaten in preseason friendlies this summer.
In preparation for soccer's arrival in Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers flattened their pitchers' mound and spread temporary grass over the infield and warning track, creating a workable pitch for a doubleheader in front of an enthusiastic Southern California crowd that enjoyed a well-played exhibition.
"It was a little bit strange because we didn't play in a football stadium, but the atmosphere, the tradition of this stadium is outstanding," Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said.
"To be in this stadium with such fantastic history is a great thing for us ... and I was pleased with our performance."
Second-half substitute Nikica Jelavic scored in the 61st minute for Everton, which gave a solid challenge to the Galacticos. Tim Howard, Everton's American goalkeeper, made a handful of brilliant saves to spark chants of "U-S-A" in the crowd.
"Both teams were trying to feel each other out, and it's tough to assess results this early," Howard said. "It felt good out there, though. It felt loud. It felt electric. We had a good time."
The inaugural International Champions Cup matches seven European teams and MLS' Los Angeles Galaxy in an exhibition tournament.
The final is Wednesday night in Miami, where Real Madrid will face the winner of Chelsea's meeting with AC Milan outside New York on Sunday.
Just two weeks away from the season opener in La Liga, Real Madrid had more than enough talent to overcome Everton. The Toffees reached the semifinals earlier in the week with a surprise win in San Francisco over two-time defending Serie A champion Juventus, which faced the Galaxy in the second game.
Dodger Stadium has hosted the Beatles, a papal Mass, eight World Series and 52 Dodgers seasons, but had never converted its baseball-specific field into a soccer pitch.
One sideline began just outside the right-handed batter's box and stretched right to the edge of the warning track near the right-field pole, 330 feet away from home plate.
Even with nearly every good seat in the majors' largest ballpark selling for $85 or much more, a solid fan contingent greeted both teams.
Everton's Catalan coach, Roberto Martinez, acknowledged the game was a valuable chance to test the Toffees against the world's best. While his team looked good for stretches, particularly around Real's net, they repeatedly were caught scrambling when their offside trap was beaten.
"It was a fantastic game for us," Martinez said. "We were very disappointed in the first half, how effective we allowed Real Madrid to be on the counterattack, but that's about the only area where we were disappointed. I thought we kept the ball very well against one of the best teams in the world."

ANAHEIM – For the second time in 369 nights, the Ducks found themselves on a stage too big.
Now one has to question just what stage they're in.
The Kings, like a veteran Shakespearean actor who mumbles his way through rehearsals, hit the mark perfectly Friday night. "They were men against boys," said Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau.
They jetted past defenders, blew up power plays, and ran John Gibson, last week's messiah, to the Anaheim bench. Their 6-2 victory was a reminder of just how good they can be. It was also a measurement of how much better the Ducks need to be.
Corey Perry was still in his black and orange uniform, long after the handshake line, long after the Kings stuck around and tapped their sticks on the ice in deference to Teemu Selanne's farewell appearance.
There would be no deference on the ice, of course, with Matt Greene intercepting a pass that Selanne was awaiting in the slot, but it was a reminder that the games that are played with the most savagery often feature the most humanity.
Perry hugged Selanne when it was over, as did Anze Kopitar of the Kings. There was the melancholy realization that we never will see anybody like Selanne again, but then Ducks fans got seven more years of him than they could have. And, yes, another month would have been nice.
The Ducks just aren't ready to play that long, not right now.
It was obviously hurting Perry.
"We just have to be a little more determined,' Perry said, sitting on his locker room bench.
Last year, the Ducks lost Game 7 of the first round to Detroit, 3-2. They fell behind 1-0 in the first 1:49 and were chasing the Wings all night.
This time it was less of a chase than a snipe hunt.
Ben Lovejoy hooked Dustin Brown, and Justin Williams, with his sixth goal in his sixth Game 7, tapped in a rebound that John Gibson surrendered with only 4:30 gone.
Then Hampus Lindholm couldn't keep a puck in the zone, and Jeff Carter tore away from the pack and scored again.
Perry had a chance to reverse the black parade when Drew Doughty broke his stick. He earned a penalty shot. He bore in on Jonathan Quick, held the puck and held it, and then watched Quick suddenly lunge and poke it away.

From Compromising Positions to Lily White, Susan Isaacs has written seven critically acclaimed novels, all unforgettable New York Times bestsellers that have enthralled and touched her numerous fans. Now, she delivers her most powerful story yet, the gripping saga of two ordinary strangers whose hearts and lives will be joined in a most extraordinary way. . . .
A straight shooter in every sense, FBI agent Charlie Blair has the numbing job of a bureaucrat and the soul of a cowboy. Dying a slow death from lack of purpose, he jumps at the chance to leave behind Dairy Queen vanilla cones and the History Channel to infiltrate a paramilitary group in Wyoming. Charlie's not the only one hot on the trail, however. Lauren Miller, a bright, ambitious New York journalist, has arrived in Jackson Hole and is bent on finding these extremists for a career-making scoop. On the surface, this whiter than whitebread mountain man and the independent, urbane East-coast writer seem worlds apart. But they share more than they can ever imagine—including a great-great-grandmother and a mutual desire for justice that will spark not only a powerful passion for the truth . . . but an irresistible passion for each other too.
Spanning the 20th century, this multigenerational saga focuses on Lauren Miller and Charlie Blair, strangers from opposite sides of the continent, who are drawn together by an appalling hate crime and their mutual passion for justice.
Continental Divide
Bestselling author Susan Isaacs presents an exhilarating, intensely moving, and quintessentially American tale in her eighth novel, Red, White and Blue. Spanning the 20th century, this multigenerational saga focuses on Lauren Miller and Charlie Blair, distant cousins on opposite sides of the continent, who are drawn together by an appalling hate crime and their mutual passion for justice.
Our heroine, Lauren Miller, is 27 and disappointed with her life's achievements: "By now, a genuine Young American Who Will Make the Future Bright would have been able to make banner headlines by tracing an inadvertent aside after a peers conference all the way up to the White House," Lauren wryly reminds herself. But as a reporter at the tiny, cash-poor, New York-based Jewish News, she has found the story that could launch her into the journalistic big leagues. The growing strength of neo-Nazi groups in Wyoming and Idaho assails her Long Island-temple-weaned sensibilities. A recent bombing of a Jewish-owned video store in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, piques Lauren's interest, and though her assertion that the "attack" is anti-Semitic seems tenuous, she feels it's worth on-site investigation. Unfortunately, her patronizing editor, Eli Bloom, disagrees: "Girlie, who do you think you are? Nellie Bly? Anyhow, what do you know from this kind of stuff?"
After Eli assigns her to cover the opening of "Milk@Honey, a kosher cybercafe in Great Neck," Lauren quits, slamming a convincing yet invalid plane ticket on his desk for effect. Eli, panicked about losing his most overworked employee, lures her back with the promise of a two-week reporting trip to Montana. Lauren agrees, then, working on a hot tip, heads to Wyoming instead. Meanwhile, half a continent away, special agent Charlie Blair of the FBI is heading west to Jackson Hole to infiltrate Wrath, a neo-Nazi organization that may or may not be involved in anti-Semitic subterfuge. His job is to determine the nature of the threat and "get the hell out." As he drives, Charlie's mind wanders to his wife, Stacey, who "has long since moved out of his bed, out of his house, out of his state, over to Colorado Springs so their 12-year-old daughter, Morning, can train with one of the top coaches in American figure skating." Maybe that's why Charlie's practically broke. Nonetheless, he's happy as he focuses on the road ahead of him, because he grew up outside of Jackson, on a ranch that belonged to his family for generations. Charlie knows every inch of the area, and practically everyone knows him -- at least, they did the last time he was there, some 30-odd years ago. Charlie "has been dying of a lack of purpose," but "soon he will become the man he was born to be."
Lauren and Charlie share a secret of which neither is aware: The unlikely pair are distant cousins. Isaacs devotes a third of Red, White and Blue to explaining the complex link. At first, I was worried that the story would be bogged down by historical background, but Isaacs pulls it off with energy and sharp character sketches. Isaacs depicts Lauren and Charlie's ancestors with a surprising sense of pathos, relieved by the often wry humor of their circumstances. Jake Blaustein, a gangster's protégé on New York's Lower East Side in the '20s, splits town when his boss learns that Jake has been skimming profits from his weekly deliveries (he's also courting his boss's girl on the side). Dora Schottland, "a 15-year-old orphan from somewhere east of Budapest," looks out at New York Harbor from the deck of the SS Polonia in the first decade of this century. She's two-and-a-half-months pregnant and is considering throwing herself into the whitecap-specked water. She doesn't want to tell Herschel Blaustein, her fiancé, that the child she's carrying is not his. She marries him, and because he loves her, he believes that the child is premature. But by far the most affecting chronicle is that of Sally Ann Wolf, who meets her future husband, Martin Freund, while serving him "a tuna on rye toast with tomato" at the Lexington Avenue lunch counter where she works. That day he waits outside the shop for her and walks her to the Hunter College library, where she is returning an art history book on Raffaello: "[B]y the time they reached the library...Sally Ann Wolf learned that Marty had taken the afternoon off from Steinberg & Mendelson, counselors-at-law, because once and for all, he had to know...if the beautiful girl with the luminous black eyes behind the counter at the coffee shop...was truly as wonderful as she looked." The description of their marriage is sweetly luminous. I won't reveal what happens -- suffice it to say that Isaacs will draw the lovelorn to lunch counters in flocks. (Susan, please write a book about the Freunds!)
Meanwhile -- speaking of love -- Charlie and Lauren meet in Wyoming. He notices her "heart-shaped face" as she interviews Vernon Ostergard, the leader of Wrath, and she sees Charlie waiting for Vern outside the general store. Using either women's or reporter's intuition, Lauren determines that Charlie doesn't quite fit in at Wrath. She tracks him down at the auto shop where he works and confronts him with her doubts about his affiliation. He's not sure whether to shoot her or kiss her. But ultimately the choice is clear.
This latest departure from Isaacs's standard repertoire will be a refreshing surprise for her fans. The geographical shift from east to west works for her; she's found a fresh tableau in Wyoming, and although the link to New York is a bit of a stretch, it makes sense with the familial texture Isaacs offers. The story is a timeline that has preserved the precious anecdotes that make forgotten great-aunts and uncles come alive again, an exciting read that makes transcontinental falling in love look effortless. Susan Isaacs surely adds another blockbuster to her roster of bestsellers with Red, White and Blue.
--Sharon Cleary
On a glacial December afternoon in the final year of the last century, a certain Herschel Blaustein, a thirty-six-year-old winemaker from a shtetl not many kilometers out of Cracow, stood on the lurching deck of the SS Polonia and snatched the chapped but finely shaped hand of Dora Schottland, a fifteen-year-old orphan from somewhere east of Budapest. At the very moment the Statue of Liberty came into view, his great, blue-stained fingers closed over her diminutive reddened ones. When at last he found the words (Yiddish words), they came close to being blown back to Europe by the cruel wind. Still, Dora was able to hear them. "Marry me, my little American prune shnecken." He had rehearsed "apple shnecken" the night before, but at the last minute realized that apple was too prosaic a pastry to entice a romantic and sparkly eyed young girl.
Dora was already sick to her stomach--thanks not only to the roiling waters of New York Harbor but also to being two and a half months pregnant, courtesy of one Shmuel Gribetz, a slick piece of work with blue eyes from Belarus, who had passed himself off as an itinerant Torah scribe on his way to Vienna, except--Shmuel had confided to her as the sun set--he was praying that he would not have to enter that thrilling, sinful city without the company of a good Jewish wife. As the moon began to rise, he sighed: I love you, Dora. When it reached its height, he beseeched her: Marry me, Dora, my angel. Without actually taking their vows, they consummated them at midnight.
Now, with "prune shnecken," Dora's nausea became unbearable. She was no dope: To acquiesce to prune shnecken was to concedethe end of dreams. Such turbulence inside her! Her poor head spun like a windmill. What little food she had been able to swallow that morning--burned beans, rank water, stale bread--sloshed violently from gut to throat to gut again, again and again, like the foam-topped swells crashing against the Polonia. She grew so wretched that she began to understand the deathly magic of those nightmare tales they told below on stormy nights: A nice girl was out on deck, minding her own business, when all of a sudden . . . Oy! Overboard!
Oh, overboard! The solace of no more. She could feel the warmth of that icy black water as it claimed her body for its own. Yet even as her vision narrowed so that all she could see were whitecaps rising, branching into thin plumes--pale fingers beckoning, Come here, Dora, come to me, sweet girl--even as she yanked her hand out of Herschel's paw and took one step, then another and another, rushing to get to the rail, to hurl herself over it, her head was lifted by . . . Who knows by what? By God? Or maybe it was simply that her cheek was slapped so hard by the wind she was forced to look westward. In that instant, her black eyes met the unfathomable copper eyes of Liberty, the Mother of Exiles, and in them Dora found the strength to turn back to Herschel and enunciate her first word of English:
So here we are, just about a hundred years later. Are any of Herschel's or Dora's descendants aware of this fleeting vignette in their histories? Do they even know there were two people named Dora Schottland and Herschel Blaustein? Well, Lauren Miller does have a vague image of her progenitors, although she doesn't know their names. What she pictures is two resolute figures, a tad on the swarthy side, standing at the rail of a ship. Look! There is Great-great-grandpa, thin-faced, with a regal beak of a nose: Imagine a five-foot-six-inch Abraham Lincoln with a skullcap. And right beside him is Great-great-grandma, careworn in her shabby dress and black babushka. This great-great-grandma of Lauren's imagination is twenty-five or thirty years old. She's slightly pudgy. Okay, built like a matzoh ball. Seen close up, her face is already scored by a cobweb of fine lines--she has come from a land without moisturizers. In any case, Lauren envisions tears streaming from their noble immigrant eyes. She hears them sobbing, "America! America!"
Despite Lauren's natural assumption that this touching scene is drawn from ancestral memory, the two faces were actually suggested by a few frames near the end of the movie Yentl, which she happened to glimpse one night in May 1997, as she was flicking through the channels on her way from Comedy Central to Conan O'Brien.
There is no such affecting image for Charlie Blair. He has heard vague references to a Jewish great-great-something, but he is more intrigued by reports of an Indian forebear. That's where he gets his black hair from. A Cheyenne or an Arapaho woman. Whatever. No one in the family remembers much about her, except that she was a beauty and a chief's daughter.Fine, you say. Nice, the ancestor stuff. Now can we get back to Lauren and Charlie? Not quite yet. We need to look at Herschel Blaustein and Dora Schottland and their children and their children's children. We need to understand the process by which our two American heroes became Americans--and whether that great journey from there to here had any meaning.Last, but definitely not least, as we leave this century, isn't it time to inquire: What is an American anyway? It's a critical question to think about now, what with all the virulently anti-government rhetoric abroad in the land. We ought to ask: Now that we've gotten here, what holds us together? What do all of us, with our different American experiences, have in common? Is there an American character? Are Americans somehow different from Europeans and Africans and Asians? What, besides a couple of random genes, do this western mountain man and this eastern suburban woman share?
Q: How would you describe the American melting pot to a foreigner?
A: We are not so much a melting pot as a stew in which the ingredients remain discrete: Meat stays meat, potatoes remain potatoes, and carrots are clearly carrots, even though they go well together and hang out in the same pot. We don't have to give up our regional identities, ethnic differences, and individual quirks. Well, at times there has been pressure to measure up, or down, to some standard, to become a nation of Andy Hardys and Little Miss Markers. But being an American has never meant being blah; from the Puritans on, we've been a passionate bunch. Still, while I celebrate our diversity, I believe the qualities we share -- our optimism, our sense of fairness, our willingness to play by the rules -- are crucial to the flourishing of a democracy made up of the world's people. Look what happened when we disavowed any of these traits. We traded optimism for fear and fatalism and got stuck in the McCarthy era. While we ourselves were fighting bigotry during World War II, we abandoned fair play, turned our back on our own Constitution, and treated our fellow citizens of Japanese descent shamefully.
Q: What do you see as the role of the writer in our ever-changing world?
A: A writer's first duty is to her work: to be a minor deity creating life,fashioning the most authentic universe she can. Second, as a citizen of her country and of the world, she has an obligation to use her talents for the common weal.

Posted February 16, 2001
'If the Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam had come together for a one-night stand,' their rangy, blue-eyed boy would have been Charlie Blair, Special Agent, FBI. Petite, inquisitive Lauren Miller is 'the child Anne Hutchinson and George Washington never had.' Do the twain ever meet in Susan Isaacs always fresh, sometimes frightening eighth novel, Red, White And Blue? You bet. But first we're introduced to the great-great-grandmother they share: A century ago 15-year-old Dora trembled by the rail of an immigrant laden vessel nudging New York Harbor. She was pregnant and unwed. Therefore, when fellow passenger, winemaker Herschel Blaustein, proposed marriage, Dora uttered her first word of English: yes. They were a mismatched, unhappy pair. He yearned to return to Cracow; she searched crowded streets for the face of her former lover. And, Jake, their early-arriving firstborn is a bit of a crank, perhaps due to the fact that 'Dora had never actually exhibited any behavior that might be construed as mother love.' Ruthie, their second child, with two top front teeth so crooked that they practically made an X was sanguine, believing in romance. As a young man, what glib, handsome Jake lacked in formal education he made up for in legerdemain, raking in jackpot after poker jackpot. Inevitably, he was caught cheating and forced to leap from a moving train smack into frigid Wyoming. Had it not been for the warmth of Queenie Smith's bed and body, Jake would have become a tall ice cube. He changed his name from Blaustein to Blair, remained with Queenie, and sired four children. Willie, their eldest, had dreams. He didn't want to be like his father who couldn't do anything a man was supposed to do - split a log, ride, or shoot. Willie yearned to own a ranch. Fortunately for the cash poor young man along came Lois, heiress to the Circle B. They produced Charles Bryant Blair who, in the fullness of time, fathered our hero, Charlie Blair. In parallel begettings, Ruthie married a brutish ne'er-do-well. She named their daughter Sally Ann because 'It was the most American name Ruthie could think of for a child who, she knew, was going to be in need of a land of opportunity.' Marty Freund was the man Sally Ann married. Their progeny included Barbara, a dependable girl, prone to considering her place in the universe. She wondered if there was any place for her 'from sea to shining sea.' During a Catskills singles weekend Barbara found her niche when she met history teacher Jed Miller. Their daughter, Lauren Miller, has her father's red hair, the black eyes of her great-great-grandmother Dora, and a favorite question - why? Lauren became a reporter, presently employed by the New York based Jewish News. Hearing of a video store bombing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, supposedly a hate crime perpetrated by a group called Wrath, Lauren is convinced that this story is her ticket to fame. She heads West. Suspecting that their Wrath informant is double-dealing, the FBI needs an undercover agent to infiltrate the brace of bigots. Divorced, dissatisfied with his status quo, and willing, Charlie is dispatched to Wyoming. At this point the novel's pace accelerates, spinning into a gripping, rapid-fire thriller. Especially noteworthy is the author's ability to mime the prurient invective spouted by white supremacist groups - one shudders. Working as a garage mechanic, Charlie ingratiates himself with Wrath's leader, Vernon Ostergard - 'Not an obvious nutcase, but a guy who had no interests beyond his own bigotry.' In the process of winning the degenerate leader's confidence, Charlie alienates Ostergard's general, Kyle McIntyre, a psychopathic killer, and one of the slimiest characters to slither across a page. Lauren asks too many questions, and is stalked by Ostergard's lieutenant, Gus Lang, 'A bully, a man who liked to crush things.' Nonetheless, Charlie and Lauren have fWas this review helpful?

Ajirotutu working on masters of a different sort
Waived at the end of camp and consigned to the practice squad _ he refers to this as his "redshirt" period with the Chargers _ Ajirotutu was activated after receivers Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee and Buster Davis were lost to injury. That was three games ago. He's since caught nine passes, four at Houston for 111 yards and the two touchdowns, both textbook examples of how a receiver uses his size and balance to get open and his hands and focus to catch touchdown passes behind the defense.
Floyd and Naanee are due back to the lineup after the break, and a week after that, Vincent Jackson's to be available for the first time this season. Asked what that meant for Ajirotutu's place on the team, head coach Norv Turner indicated that the rookie likely will remain on the active roster and added, "I see him being with us for a long time."
Ajirotutu's play in Houston solidified his place in the locker room, too.
"I like watching what (Ajirotutu) does out there," says Floyd. "He's handling his business like a veteran, not making rookie mistakes. That second TD, he killed the DB (cornerback Kareem Jackson), and that was their first-round draft pick."
There's a natural link between Floyd and Ajirotutu, partly because both are from the Sacramento area, mostly because Floyd also joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2004 and once was as far down the depth chart as Ajirotutu found himself at the start of this season.
"He has a head start on me," says Floyd. "I got my chance the last four games of my rookie year, but he's already doing it. He's gonna be better than me."
To be sure, the two also share the attribute of modesty. For his part, much as he's enjoyed the after-glow of Houston, Ajirotutu isn't getting carried away with the sudden success and all the attention coming his way.
"Won't happen," says Fresno State's colorful head coach, Pat Hill. "A lot of making it in that league is maturity. I coached in that league for six years, and a lot of rookies come in and get too hung up on the other stuff. They get blinded by the hype. He'll be fine. Nothing fazes him."
When he first went to Fresno State, Ajirotutu was an all-around athlete who was Sacramento's Player of the Year in football, but primarily earned the honor as a highly physical safety at Oak Ridge High. The fact that he had some height at 6-foot-3 _ and displayed a Floyd-like, basketball-borne ability to go up farther for passes prompted the Bulldogs staff to make him a receiver.
It wasn't always the way Ajirotu went up for the football that struck the coaches, either.
"When he came down, he landed hard," says Hill. "We used to tease him because when he hit the ground, goll-lee, it was like a thud. He had no regard for his body. He'd get up high, and most guys would brace themselves for the return, but he just made sure he had the ball and sort of crashed to the ground."

Talking Moose
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008)
The Talking Moose is an animated talking utility for the Apple Macintosh. It was created in 1986 by Canadian programmer Steven Halls. It is the first animated talking agent on a personal computer and featured a moose that would appear at periodic intervals with some joke or witticism. The moose would also comment on system events and user actions and could speak what a user typed using the Moose Proof desk accessory.
The moose was the first facially animated talking agent with lip synchronization and it became the seed idea for future talking agents, such as Clippy the paperclip in Microsoft Windows, and Prody Parrot from Creative Soundblaster.
The Talking Moose used Apple's Macintalk software, the first version of which famously made the original "Never trust a computer you can't lift" speech at the Macintosh launch in 1984. Apple's development of Macintalk had petered out and they granted Halls permission to use, and continue refining, the software for free. Halls did not just improve the fluidity of the speech and the reliability of the interpretation but gave the moose a library of comedic observations and wisecracks which gave it a distinctive character.
The original Moose was distributed with the Bob LeVitus book Stupid Mac Tricks in 1989. Later versions allowed full speech integration for software developers and even a HyperCard plugin.
In the 1990s, development of the program was taken over by Uli Kusterer under the name Uli's Moose - for which he later obtained Steve Halls' blessing. This Moose was included in Bob LeVitus' iMac (and iBook) book "I Didn't Know You Could Do That".
Moose Versions[edit]
Version 1.0 of the Talking Moose was released in 1986 by Steve Halls.
Version 2.0 was released in 1987, and ran on Macintosh systems 6.0.4 - 7.1. The Macintalk voice used for the Moose was 'Fred'.
Baseline Publishing eventually commercially published the talking moose, and released version 4, introducing new characters from a "Cartoon Carnival" supposedly run by the titular ungulate.
Uli Kusterer - the next author of the moose - got rid of the cartoon carnival, and worked more in the spirit of the original moose, releasing new versions starting at 1.0, which supported Mac OS 7.1 - 9.2. These were released initially on CompuServe, and later on the internet. He also developed the first OS X native version (v 3.0). The latest Macintosh version of the Moose (v3.5.7) works with all versions of OS X, 10.3 through 10.7, and includes Universal Binaries.
From January 8 2009, The Talking Moose has been posting periodic comments to a Twitter account.

Conservationists Blame Climate Change For Nepal Wildfires
Conservationists are concerned whether climate change might have played a role in the forest fires in many of Nepal's national parks and conserved areas this dry season, BBC News reported.
Until just a few days ago, at least four protected areas were on fire for an unusually long time and NASA's satellite imagery showed most of the big fires located around the national parks along the country's northern areas bordering Tibet.
The extent of the loss of flora and fauna is not yet known for the active fires that were recorded in conservation areas including the Annapurna, Kanchanjunga, Langtang and Makalu Barun national parks.
Over 100 yaks were reported dead by fires in the surrounding areas of the Kanjanchanga National Park in eastern Nepal.
Numerous rare species including snow leopards, red pandas and several endangered birds make their homes in the Trans-Himalayan parks.
Ghanashyam Gurung, a director at WWF's Nepal office, said the carbon dioxide emitted by the fires was a greater matter of concern than the loss of plants and animals.
Laxmi Manandhar, a spokesman for Nepal's Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, said fires in the protected areas in the plain lands could be controlled easily with logistics and manpower.
"But in the national parks in the Himalayan region, we could hardly do anything because of the difficult geography. Nor do we have facilities of pouring water using planes and helicopters," he added.
Forest fires are common during the dry season between October and January in Nepal's jungles and protected areas, where a majority of the fires come about as a consequence of the "slash and burn" practice that farmers employ for better vegetation and agricultural yields.
However, the fires remained out of control even in the national parks in the Himalayan region where the slash and burn practice is uncommon and many are wondering why these blazes were so different.
Gurung suggests the most obvious reason was the unusually long dry spell this year.
Meteorologists said no precipitation had fallen across most of the country for nearly six months "" the longest dry spell in recent history.
Department of Hydrology and Meteorology chief Nirmal Rajbhandari said this winter was exceptionally dry.
"We have seen winter becoming drier and drier in the last three or four years, but this year has set the record," he said.
Since most of Nepal's electricity comes from hydropower and rivers in the area are running at their lowest, the country has been suffering power cuts of up to 20 hours a day.
The severity of dryness fits in the pattern of increasing extreme weather Nepal has witnessed in recent years, experts at the department said.
Conservationists believe some of the national parks would still be on fire had it not been for recent drizzles.
"Are we waiting for a bigger disaster to admit that it is climate change?" asked Anil Manandhar, head of WWF Nepal.
He said the recent changes in weather patterns suggest there are certain impacts of climate change at work.
But many experts remain cautious about drawing such conclusions, like climate change expert Arun Bhakta Shrestha of the Kathmandu-based International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).
He suggests that the prolonged dryness this year, like other extreme events in recent years, could be related to climate change but there is no proper basis to confirm that.
"The reason (why there is no confirmation) is lack of studies, observation and data that could have helped to reach into some conclusion regarding the changes," he added.
The entire Hindu Kush Himalayas have been dubbed as a "white spot" by experts, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who say there has been no proper study of the impacts of climate change on the region.
So-called "glacial lake outburst floods" and monsoon-related floods resulting from erratic rainfalls are currently the most talked-about disasters in the context of climate change around Nepal and neighboring countries, where glaciers are melting and retreating faster than ever.
Yet forest fires could also be seen as one of the climate impacts, if conservationists' and meteorologists' latest fears mean anything.
A new international effort known as Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) in the wake of the 2007 United Nations climate change conference in Bali is likely to have Nepal as its latest member.
However, if forest fires like those seen this year became a regular phenomenon, the country will instead be emitting increased carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Watch These Hilarious Guilty Dog Videos
One of the things I love about being a dog owner is when you can tell that your furry friend is truly understanding you. We could debate all day long whether it's true comprehension or just a reaction to the tone of your voice, but you can't argue with the pathetic humor of these guilty dog videos. Take a look:

Food waste by the numbers
This video about how much food goes to waste is a real eye-opener.
Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 10:02 AM
A small fraction of the food that is wasted in the United States could feed all of those who go hungry. Watch the video below, and you'll find out just what percentage that is. I'm telling you, you're not going to believe it.
You're also not going to believe the answer to this question. In terms of dollars, where is the most food wasted — in the home, in the retail store, or on the farm?
This video from GOODMagazine spells it out when it comes to food waste in this country.
If you've got a refrigerator full of leftovers from Thanksgiving, don't let them go to waste. I've got Thanksgiving leftover ideas for the turkey and the trimmings.
I want to think Jonathan from Wasted Food for bringing this video to my attention.

Letters: Minimum wage, death penalty, Rick Perry
Taking issue with death penalty stance
In the July 19 letter "Californians want the death penalty," Daniel Jeffs states that the "decline in the administration of justice" (execution of prisoners) unnecessarily makes "the people much less secure against violent crime."
In fact, violent crime in California has dropped substantially since its peak in 1992. Also, a felon serving life without parole, which is the alternative to execution, is of no greater a danger to the people than a felon who's been executed. Mr. Jeffs also states that the death penalty is a deterrent against murder, but I'm aware of no conclusive evidence of that.
Finally, Mr. Jeffs states that lethal injection is the most humane way of administering the death penalty. It may be more humane than hanging, electrocution or the gas chamber; but it's certainly not the most humane way of execution. As anyone who's flown for the military can confirm, unconsciousness and death from insufficient oxygen, either in a hypobaric chamber or displacement of oxygen by a gas such as helium, occurs with no pain, and in fact with no sensation at all. - Benjamin E. Thurston, La Mesa
Let marketplace determine wages
I read Steve Greenhut's take on San Diego city's possible minimum wage increase ("Based on their logic, wage boosters are being stingy," July 22). He is exactly right that many businesses may not hire, or may lay off workers. However, he did not mention the real possibility of increased prices of goods and services, and the likely increase of wages for higher-paying jobs.
Why not let the marketplace determine wages? If an office-building owner needs two janitors, he can post job openings at $9 an hour. If no one applies, then he needs to raise the pay to what he thinks will attract competent help.
On the other hand, if 10,000 people apply for the $9 an hour position, then it apparently represents a very fair wage for that particular job.
Another aspect to consider is retention of employees. If $9 an hour attracts workers, but they don't stick around very long, perhaps the working conditions, supervision, etc., require improvement.
Other conditions play in on the minimum-wage conversation, but the above-mentioned are paramount to its discussion. - Steve Eaton, Carlsbad
Perry's motives are questionable
Some people will get all choked up over Texas Gov. Rick Perry's faux humanitarian decision to send the National Guard to the Texas-Mexico border to help stop the influx of children coming into the U.S. illegally ("Texas sending Guard to Mexican border," July 22). "I will not stand idly by while our citizens are under assault and little children from Central America are detained in squalor," said a probably teary-eyed Perry. The rest of us will gag knowing full well that this is nothing more than an attempt to garner early support for yet another run for the presidency.
Militarizing the border with troops, trained for warfare not law enforcement, is what Perry sees as an active response to a failed federal attempt to secure the border.

Fairmount Things to Do
Built in 1898 this Romanesque Revival structure stands abandon with a hope for a revival. Many want this building, whose alumni includes James Dean and Garfield creator Jim Davis, protected. But just what to do with it? no one seems to know.
The modest resting place of a young man who burned out, head on, and will never fade away. James Dean is buried next to his parents, on top of a hill in this small cemetery.
Also part of the J. D. Festival in September, they have a look alike contest. It's fun, great fun, there are maybe a dozen guys, pretending they look like Jimmy Dean, coming from all over the US and sometimes from abroad.
They have a jury, the crowd cheer and shout, until one of them is the winner... Not necessarily the one the crowd likes best or the one looking like Jimmy :-)

Heslam: 'It's the world's marathon now' - 0 Comments
Journalists inspired by Boston's spirit
Laura Trevelyan's work as an anchor for the BBC's World News Channel has taken her to Darfur, Northern Ireland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"Places," she said, "where you have watch towers and you have helicopters. But I never thought to see that in America — that paramilitary type of atmosphere with the Black Hawks circling and the SWAT teams and Boston in lockdown. It was this post-apocalyptic scene. It was extraordinary."

Phase 1 – Sample Collection primarily focuses on collecting samples from organisms in the Gulf of Mexico and their environment in the immediate aftermath of the crisis and for an additional two summers after the crisis. Marine mammals are a particular concern because they serve as sentinels for human health and because they are key species for both the ocean ecosystem and coastal economies. There are two resident populations of large whales in the Gulf of Mexico. One is a population of about 1,600 sperm whales with living along the 1000 meter shelf. The other is about 15-20 Bryde's whales that live along the 200 m depth line. Of course, there are also numerous resident dolphins from several different species throughout the Gulf. The impacts of the oil, dispersants and metals in the Gulf are a particular concern for all of these animals. These samples will show us how high of a level pollutants related to the crisis reached in the animals and their environment. This phase is now complete with three years of samples collected. We collected skin biopsies from whales, air and water samples, fish, crab, krill, jellyfish, squid and seaweed samples along with a wide array of photos and videos.

I've attended a few bead shows lately where I noticed a trend: Middle-aged women with strands of sparkly stuff in their hair. At first I thought it was very silly—something that should be left for the Little Mermaid set or a drunken Mardi Gras pedal pub ride. But when I saw someone I really respect with the treatment at consecutive shows, I started to look at it differently...I pulled out the sociologist in me and dissected it as a cultural phenomenon.
After eyes and mouth, hair is often the next thing people look at when they meet; the reason, I think, we all spend so much time grooming it. It ends up being a strong outward expression of who we are. And what better way to express our love of glimmer than to add shiny stuff where people look first? We add it to our hands, wrists, necks, and ears, so why not hair? I figure adding it up top not only expresses whimsy and a certain sense of creative freedom, but it also serves as a great conversation-starter.Ideas for adding beads to your hair
The glimmer strands I've been seeing sported at shows aren't the only hair sparkle my middle-aged compatriots seem to be wearing, though. The other day I met a woman who had the most beautiful strand of beads and feathers in her hair, and the way she did it—very understated—made it a very sophisticated look. Her treatment of the idea got me thinking about different ways to connect beads to hair:
1: Thread-and-bead. Tie embroidery thread or other colorful string onto a clump of hair. Braid, wrap, or tie knots around the clump, adding beads as you go.
3: Hair-as-string. Use the hair as a stringing material, adding beads right to strand. It's easiest to get the hair through the beads by first looping a short length of beading wire around the strand, adding the beads to the paired wire ends, then pulling the wire so the hair slides through the beads. Use a tiny rubber band (like an orthodontia band) to stop the bead(s) from sliding off.
Stringing is much more than embellishing your lovely locks. Learn many other types of beading instructions in Stringing magazine.So what do you think about adding glitter to hair? Is it a middle-aged yearning for younger days, or a fashionable trend? Please share your thoughts (and any hair-beading tips) on Beading Daily.
I think adding beads to one's hair is a great idea, under certain circumstances: if the beads complement the hair color and style, and if, as you said about the friend who had a subdued version in her hair at a conservative show, the beads are understated rather than the first thing that a person meeting them sees. Beads in the hair can be a distraction from the face, rather than a complement, just as jewelry can. A friend of mine (who is middle aged) once said, "Less is more."
I've been making and wearing hair wraps (and the bead strands and the clip-in or braid-in types) for many years...I used to work the festivals and in Mallory Square in Key West. It's not just in Jamaica, hippies have been decorating their hair for dacades and we older hippies still like to decorate! I still do lots of them for my regular clients here in Milwaukee... The fashion comes and goes... Like bell bottoms and tye-dye...
What are glimmer strands?
Would like to see what these beaded embellishments look like in hair. Can you show pictures for your examples? Thanks.
I love it! It would depend on how its done though. I agree "less is more". Just a little color or sparkle would be fun for a party.
Since when does age or for that matter, sex, have anything to do with hair ornaments? Many cultures have been doing this for centuries - Native Americans, Africans, Tibetans among others. Haven't we worn decorated hair pins with sequins for a very, very long time. Certainly this is nothing new. I am quite surprised that anyone with any knowledge of jewelry history and world culture would find hair adornments new or a middle aged attempt to recapture youth.
I am 50 years old and for about 17 or 18 years I have worn 1 or 2 beaded braids in my hair. I braid the hair first, apply a small rubber band. Then string 13 to 15 plastic pony beads on the braid. Another small rubber band is then added on top of the first one to prevent the beads from slipping off. Nothing like waking up with beads stuck to your face or other parts of the body. I can wear the braids for about 3 weeks before changing everything again. Or occasionally I change them for special events and holidays.
What are the 'glimmer strands'? I searched and found that it is becoming popular to put the Christmas tree garland in your hair, but instead of the silver, colored strands were used. Is this what you were referring to?
I am also way over 30, and LOVE decorating myself.
I think it is neat....anyone that is middle aged went through the Flower Power era and perhaps that is part of the inspiration. I am not sure if I would or not. I think if it was toned down and not on the frilly side it could work.
I also like making beaded hair clips, particularly barettes. They are a great way to show off bead embroidery skills, and can be worn with a variety of hairstyles.
I plan to try adding a fringe to the next one to see how it works - I like the idea of the strands of beads mixing with my hair.
Hello!! Jean is speaking of the many bead designers at a recent trade show in Milwaukee! It is funny, I looked at this product before that big show and contemplated buying them for myself. (I would have had my 15 year old daughter put them in for me! She, by the way, poo poo pooed me and I lost heart, shame on me!) In fact one of the Vendors on the trade show floor was applying them to customers during the show, it is a sideline for her. So as the show went on, more and more ladies had them! Woo hoo!! I was bummed I hadn't followed my instincts to decorate myself!! And sadly I didn't have time to get them, since I was working for one of the designers (no glittery deco for her either ~ also bummed)!
Okay - you can buy these lovely little strands of sparkly milar type material at Sally Beauty Supply. Before the show Sally had them on clearance, so quantities may be limited. If you don't have a store local you can check the website.
As for Jean questioning the motivation of ladies of a certain age....she had to make the article interesting some how. No need to be quite so hard on her!
@spiralingbead - Do you know what a Dunbar Limit is?? Just ask Jean! LOL
Great to see "WE'RE STILL YOUNG".
Jean - these ideas are straight out of our (or atleast mine?!) hippie days when the gals would put any pretty charm in our hair. I started making these for my nieces a coupleof years ago. I'm sharing your article with my nieces, and maybe they'll brush off the dust and start wearing them?? I also strung light weight beads on clear hair combs with thin beading wire. You can use any color or texture as long as the beads aren't too heavy. You can hot glue silk flowers to combs too.
I don't know, I think less is boring! I am 50 yrs old, I wear tie dyed shirts that I tie and dye myself. I wear peace sign earrings and love beads around my wrists and ankles. I buy a lot of fun scrunchies and barrettes at the Osh-Kosh store for kids! Age is just a state of mind and I don't mind at all.
I have long hair, nearly down to my waist. My hair is baby fine and poker straight. Which means anything with weight will fall out!
I make tikas, combs, forks, sticks and clips and I sell them in my online store. You can see how some of the jewelry looks like in my hair in my Flickr account. www.flickr.com/.../wiccan. I like making a thin wire hair vine with seed beads and braid it through a french braid.
I use clips similar to your second example. I use very tiny clear clips. I use 2 of them and string beads between the 2 which makes a beautiful tika. WIth my hair, I use acrylic 3mm rounds and briolettes for less weight. I have strung these clips with gossamer floss and non-filament string to make a floating appearance of pearls and tiny crystals. I have made actual drops of illusion beads coming off of the string between the clips. My d-i-l wore an alternative bridal veil using my design. The illusion beads were Swarovski air blue opals and crystal AB and the drops were 12" long in the middle and shortened as they went towards her ears then the single illusion strand of beads went across her forehead in the front. She was beautiful.
Life is for living! Throw some glitter in your hair if you don't have beads then go out and seize the day!
Dunbar Limit must be like the Dunbar number, which cheaply explained is like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. It is a limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationship.

I'm all for beads in hair, whether the strand like decorations mentioned here or beaded barrettes, which I've made and wear - I have long hair and have reached that "golden" age!!
What interests me now though is using hair in our jewellery making as they did in the 18th & 19th centuries. It can't be any more "macabre" than using prosthetic eyes or skull shaped beads/ charms can it?
Hello again!
I had to laugh when I read "hair as string"! As a older lady who is well past menopause, my hair is thinning rapidly.. I don't have any to spare as string! Maybe I will make a bunch of the small strands and make myself some "dreads". LOL... I just love it here!
Everything comes back into style again. I did the hair wrap style about twenty years ago, after seeing people do it at Venice beach, Ca. First I did my own hair, that was the hardest. Then my daughter, and all her friends, then their moms, and so on. When you wrap them into your hair, they'll stay untill you cut them out. My daughter is 25 now, but she still remembers the bead wraps in her hair. Now my granddaughter wants one. Time to get some new embroidery floss.
