United States
The year 2006 in American literature turned out to be a scandal-ridden one. Television personality Oprah Winfrey, who often featured writers on her talk show, suffered a certain loss of face and credibility when best-selling writer James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces (2003), was revealed as a fraud for having passed off as a memoir a clumsy series of fictionalized, highly exaggerated (if not wholly invented) scenes from his pathetic 12-step life. Winfrey had endorsed his book as one of her book-club selections. In another case Harvard University undergraduate Kaavya Viswanathan, billed by her publisher as a new national fiction prodigy on the basis of the merits of her first novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life, was found to have included some 40 plagiarized passages in her book. Before the year was out, Dana Shuster, who had claimed that her highly praised poetry (Battle Dressing [2000]) came from her experiences in the Vietnam battlefield, turned out to be neither a nurse nor a Vietnam War veteran and thus joined the growing number of literary frauds.
The serious authentic work of the year in fiction came from some giant truth tellers. Philip Roth released the short novel Everyman ("He never thought of himself as anything more than an average human being," we hear, and most people, he believed, "would have thought of him as square."); Cormac McCarthy offered his apocalyptic picaresque novel The Road ("The clocks stopped at 1:17. A long shear of light and then a series of low concussions"); and Richard Ford reintroduced his own everyman, Frank Bascombe, the subject and narrator of The Lay of the Land, the third and final novel in the Bascombe series ("Toms River, across the Barnegat Bay, teems out ahead of me in the blustery winds and under the high autumnal sun of an American Thanksgiving Tuesday. From the bridge over from Sea-Clift, sunlight diamonds the water below the girdering grid.").
A number of other well-constructed pleasurable works of fiction appeared. Charles Frazier, the highly acclaimed author of Cold Mountain (1997), brought out Thirteen Moons, his second novel, to mostly positive reviews. Stephen King once again battered at the gates of literary respectability with his highly readable psychological thriller Lisey's Story, while John Updike's crown slipped ever so slightly when he came out with Terrorist, the fictional study of a young convert to Islam who carries his jihad to northern New Jersey; the book apparently sold well, however. The new Thomas Pynchon novel, Against the Day, was a book utterly important to Pynchon fans and completely uninteresting to those who had fallen away from the Pynchon readership cult or had never joined it. As if to illustrate this, the New York Times ran a highly negative daily review and highly positive Sunday review.
Sigrid Nunez in The Last of Her Kind wrote an intriguing portrait of an American female radical. Gail Godwin's novel Queen of the Underworld was set in Miami during the early days of the Cuban Revolution and gave readers an interesting portrait of the artist as a young woman. Godwin's main character was a young journalist named Emma Gant. My plan was to become a crack journalist in the daytime, building my worldly experience and gaining fluency through the practice of writing to meet deadlines. Then, in the evening and on weekends, I would slip across the border into fiction, searching for characters interesting and strong enough to live out my keenest questions. My journalism would support me until I became a famous novelist. Perhaps I would become a famous journalist on the side, if I could manage both.
In The Willow Field William Kittredge followed in the tradition of A.B. Guthrie and delivered his version of the "great Montana novel," a beautifully written book that told the story of a young cowboy who followed a way of life that eventually becomes only a memory in modern times. Sweeps of thin rain would evaporate over the alkaline playa of the Black Rock Desert before reaching the ground.… They traveled across an elevation of brush-covered dunes into the dry valley … then over the swell diving the Limbo Range from the San Emido Mountains, black in the far distance with lava and thickets of gin-smelling juniper. Dust ghosted up behind as they fell to greasewood flatlands toward the playa of the Black Rock Desert. Allen Wier took up the subject of American frontier life in an ambitious work titled Tehano. Susan Straight went to antebellum Louisiana for her novel A Million Nightingales, which recounted slavery times. In what some critics praised as the finest adventure novel of the year—The Western Limit of the World (2005)—Berkeley, Calif., writer David Masiel wrote about the last days of a chemical tanker on the high seas en route to Africa. North Carolinian Angela Davis-Gardner won some praise with Plum Wine, a quiet but supremely crafted novel about a love affair between an American schoolteacher and a Japanese potter under the shadow of Hiroshima. Another quiet success was Robert Hellenga's affecting novel Philosophy Made Simple.
Talk Talk by T. Coraghessan Boyle, a novel about identity theft, showed off the entertaining hand of this flashy but intelligent novelist and storyteller. Carolyn See's version of California's near future—There Will Never Be Another You—displayed her palpable but underappreciated talents as an entertaining novelist. The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud garnered much praise. Chris Adrian demonstrated the powers of experimentalism in The Children's Hospital. Mark Z. Danielewski won the prize for the most exasperating novel of the year with Only Revolutions, which featured two title pages and challenged readers with its inverted text, which was used to distinguish the stories of its two narrators, Sam and Hailey. Marita Golden's After kept readers thinking about important justice issues and questions of conscience.
For short-story readers the year brought great gifts, among them Thomas McGuane's collection Gallatin Canyon, Deborah Eisenberg's The Twilight of the Superheroes, and Edward P. Jones's All Aunt Hagar's Children. Joyce Carol Oates's High Lonesome: New & Selected Stories, 1966–2006 was an exceedingly impressive volume. Other notable works included The Dead Fish Museum by Charles D'Ambrosio, his first collection of short stories since 1995; Nocturnal America by John Keeble; and Valerie Martin's The Unfinished Novel and Other Stories. Erich Puchner's Music Through the Floor (2005) was the best-reviewed debut collection of the year.
Among works of nonfiction prose, there were some towering successes, such as The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan's best-selling book about the origins of the stuff of four representative American meals; Mark Bowden's Guests of the Ayatollah, about the Iranian hostage crisis during the presidency of Jimmy Carter; and Hampton Sides's Blood and Thunder, a narrative about Kit Carson and the winning of the American West. The Discomfort Zone, essays by the esteemed novelist Jonathan Franzen, won a lot of critical attention.
William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism by Robert D. Richardson stood out as one of the year's major biographies. Former U.S. poet laureate Robert Pinsky published The Life of David (2005), and poet and translator David Rosenberg chimed in with Abraham: The First Historical Biography.
Among literary biographies of note were I Celebrate Myself: The Somewhat Private Life of Allen Ginsberg by Bill Morgan, Zane Grey (2005) by Thomas H. Pauly, Frank Norris: A Life by Joseph R. McElrath, Jr., and Jesse S. Crisler, and The Wit in the Dungeon: The Remarkable Life of Leigh Hunt—Poet, Revolutionary, and the Last of the Romantics (2005) by Anthony Holden. Journalist Gay Talese signed in with an autobiography titled A Writer's Life. The Din in the Head by Cynthia Ozick showed off in a gathering of her essays and reviews the wit and intelligence of one of the most interesting literary critics and practitioners of the art of fiction. David Treuer's Native American Fiction, a critical revaluation of American Indian writers, begged for controversy, though not much stirred. Double Lives: American Writers' Friendships was Richard Lingeman's intriguing take on American literary biography. Novelist Francine Prose in Reading Like a Writer weighed in with the most interesting and valuable approach to the craft of fiction writing since John Gardner's The Art of Fiction (1983).
Standing out among a slew of memoirs were My Confederate Kinfolk: A Twenty-First Century Freedwoman Confronts Her Roots by Thulani Davis, Frantic Transmissions to and from Los Angeles by novelist Kate Braverman, and The Afterlife by novelist Donald Antrim. Highly regarded essayist Scott Russell Sanders turned in A Private History of Awe, and The New Yorker magazine writer Roger Angell added to his output with Let Me Finish. Susan Garrett's Quick-Eyed Love: Photography and Memory (2005) was a lovely addition to the offerings.
Historians turned their hand to various American subjects, as in Andrew Jackson (2005) by Sean Wilentz and A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan by Michael Kazin. Novelist Winston Groom wrote a history, Patriotic Fire: Andrew Jackson and Jean Laffite at the Battle of New Orleans. Several quite idiosyncratic works caught readers' attention, such as Greil Marcus's knotty argument in The Shape of Things to Come: Prophecy and the American Voice and playwright David Mamet's polemical The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-Hatred, and the Jews. Somewhat more accessible was Recovering Your Story: Proust, Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner, Morrison by academic Arnold Weinstein. The most accessible science writing of the year came from California cosmologist Joel R. Primack and his wife, the writer Nancy Ellen Abrams, in The View from the Center of the Universe.
Poetry readers were treated to a banner year of new offerings. The late Allen Ginsberg's Collected Poems, 1947–1997 made a big splash. When The New Yorker poetry editor Alice Quinn put together Edgar Allan Poe & the Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments, a posthumous volume of work by Elizabeth Bishop, she created a lot of controversy because the collection contained poems that Bishop apparently had not authorized for publication in her lifetime. More appreciatively received was White Apples and the Taste of Stone: Selected Poems, 1946–2006 by Donald Hall, the new U.S. poet laureate. Pulitzer Prize winner C.K. Williams published his Collected Poems late in the year.
During the year some of the country's most skilled lyric poets brought out new work. Jane Hirshfield published After ("The grated lemon rind bitters the oil it steeps in. / A wanted flavor. / Like the moment in love when one lover knows / the other could do anything they wanted, yet does not."); Henry Taylor offered Crooked Run ("Strolling the banks of Crooked Run / I round a bend and happen on / a skeleton and rippling shreds / of bone-white skin in the oxbow pool."), and Maryland poet Michael Collier signed in with Dark Wild Realm ("In cartoons they do it and then get up, / a carousel of stars, asterisks, and question marks / trapped in a caption bubble above a dizzy, / flattened head that pops back into shape. / But this one collapsed in its skirt of red feathers / and now its head hangs like a closed hinge and its beak, / a yellow dart, is stuck to the gray porch floor / and seems transformed forever—").
Harvey Shapiro came out with The Sights Along the Harbor: New and Collected Poems. Galway Kinnell released Strong Is Your Hold, Alan Shapiro published Tantalus in Love (2005), and Mary Karr turned out Sinners Welcome. Quincy Troupe showed off his strong lines in The Architecture of Language, as did Rodney Jones in Salvation Blues, Natasha Trethewey in Native Guard, Victor Hernández Cruz in The Mountain in the Sea, and Jim Harrison in Saving Daylight. David Tucker made an impressive debut in Late for Work. Miller Williams's essays on reading and creating poetry in Making a Poem attracted attention as one of the year's most interesting professions of technique. Poet's Choice by Edward Hirsch stood out among books of criticism for its fusion of intelligence and readability as the author reflected on the work of more than 100 poets, ancient and modern.
The Pulitzer Prize for fiction went to Geraldine Brooks for her novel March (2005), and the award in history was given to David M. Oshinsky for Polio: An American Story (2005). Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin won for biography with American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (2005), and Claudia Emerson captured the poetry prize for Late Wife (2005). Luis Alberto Urrea won the Kiriyama Prize in fiction for The Hummingbird's Daughter (2005). The PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction went to E.L. Doctorow for The March (2005). Tobias Wolff and Adam Haslett shared the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in the Short Story. The newly inaugurated Dayton Literary Peace Prizes went to Studs Terkel for lifetime achievement, Francine Prose for her novel A Changed Man (2005), and Stephen Walker for his nonfiction Shockwave: Countdown to Hiroshima (2005).
Among the prominent deaths during the year were those of novelists William Styron, Gilbert Sorrentino, and Frederick Busch and science-fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. Writer-critic Charles Newman, the founding editor of TriQuarterly literary magazine, died in March.

Reviews for Continental Rear Conti Trail Attack 150/70VR-17 Blackwall Tire
Great Mileage Tire
Conti Trail Attack front and rear on an '07 BMW r1200gs Adventure. Excellent performance on pavement wet or dry. Good low pressure performance on sand. Good performance on rocky terrain (they're not knobbys). Poor performance in mud. I bought the tires because I'm riding on pavement a lot. I was very pleased with the mileage. 17,000 on the front, 11,000 on rear for the first set. I just replaced another rear after 10,500 miles and have 4500 on the front with little wear. For me this is excellent mileage. I'll keep using them for highway and moderate dirt.I would recommend this item to a friend.
excellent grip in any weather
I have a BMW GS and these same tires Continental Trail Attack agency was bringing my bike has an excellent grip in any weather, buy that are perfect for any use and highly recommend buying would return.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good so far
I only have about 5,000 road miles with these so far (front and rear), but my impression is good. They are nicely quiet; I don't hear tread noise at freeway speeds until about 75mph. Grip and handling are excellent on pavement. Steering feels light and the bike rolls smooth and easy. The tread doesn't look very aggressive, but I have no idea how they will handle on gravel or dirt. Frankly, I purchased them as a road tire anyway, and I'm not disappointed. For my bike (650 vstrom) I would buy them again without question.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Re: Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City by bus
By the time you arrive at your hotel, it would be 5 30 pm to 6 pm. Have your hotel pick you up at the airport. most of them can arrange also a tuk tuk for your three day stay. you will have to buy a three day ticket to Angkor, even though the evening entrance would be free.
First night go and watch the sunset
second do the inner circle of temples
third day do the outer circle of temples
you read up on the temples in a good book, dont expect tuk tuk drivers or taxi drivers to know in depth about the temples, if you want to know them in depth. if you want just superficial info, they will give it to you. Perhaps one day you can hire a guide since your experience of the temples would be multipled manyfold if someone explains it to you
By the way currently Siem Reap is under flood waters not as bad as Bangkok but many of the hotels are closing because of lack of business, and you can see the central part of town including the old market under water on photos or youtube in the Net.
leave for HCMC at night..
I am not sure of the time tables and once again you can get that information from the hotel.
try to get in touch with mandalayinn in siemreap, and the owners possibly can arrange for you an itinerary that you want

Re: Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City by bus
Hi there if you're good on maps and you're not so much into learning the history of the temples you visit then you won't need a tour guide just hire a tuktuk to bring you to your destinations. But if you want to maximize your stay at siem reap I recommend you hire a tour guide. The
published rates for Angkor tours are the following: tour guide-25$ per day, tuktuk-
13$ per day and 3-day pass at Angkor temples-40$.
The tour guide arranged the places we have to visit we simply told him our
personal preferences and our time constraints since we only have two days to
tour around.

My opinion, is the same as my tired old hockey analogy.
When we were kids, we went out on the backyard rink and played. Did we sit in our room and study until we were "worthy" or until we could "see".
NO. We went out and played. We didn't concentrate on anything except playing. Day after day the skating got better the shooting got better, the stickhandling got better. We copied our "heroes". Eventually we developed our own style.
Later we took classes, (teams) to enhance our skills. We got even better.
Did anyone become Gretzky, yeah he did, and a few others got pretty good. Do the rest of us care. No. We are having just as much fun.
There will always be people who study photography to death, people who talk about photography to death, and then there are the people that are out doing it. That's what I prefer to do.
Let's face it 95% of the people here don't need to make money from it, don't care if they money from it and it is just for fun anyway. It is a hobby, all hobby's cost money, so just burn up some film and enjoy yourself and your journey.

CUMMING - Every practice begins with about an hour of work on special teams. It paid off in Friday's 33-0 Peachtree Ridge win at North Forsyth."Our special teams has hurt us this year when we weren't ready, so that's a big focus for us," Lions head coach Bill Ballard said. "Our guys on special teams, we tell them they're starters. That part of the ball game is just as important as any other part." Peachtree Ridge (3-1 overall, 2-0 in 7-AAAAA) began every first-half drive in Raiders' territory, while North Forsyth (3-1, 1-1 in 7-AAAAA) had to start each drive inside its own 20. Senior return man Brad Roby ran back four punts for an average of 21 yards each time for the Lions. Meanwhile, the Peachtree Ridge kickoff coverage unit limited the Raiders to 10.5 yards per return. It proved to be the difference in a game in which both teams struggled to find the end zone. "Bradley had a real good night returning the football," Ballard said. "We thought we had real good blocking on those special teams. We've been really working on getting on your guy. Don't take that play off, make sure that's a play where we can score." Four of the Lions' seven trips inside the red zone ended in field goal attempts, which junior place kicker Justin Watts converted from 35, 31, 47 and 32 yards. The disparity in field position meant four of the Raiders' possessions instead ended in punts. Peachtree Ridge drove 44 yards for a touchdown on its first possession, a drive that was capped off by a 15-yard strike from senior quarterback Nick Lombardo to senior wideout Nasir Moore. The Lions' next two drives ended in field goals before they hit paydirt again on a 16-yard TD run by Steve Atwater. North Forsyth closed out the half with a 13-play drive that fell short at the six as time expired. Peachtree Ridge opened the second half with another pair of field goals on its first two drives and didn't find the end zone again until it went for it on fourth-and-goal from the five with less than two minutes to play. Senior running back Brandon Stanley got around the left side, and dove across the plane before getting shoved out of bounds. Lombardo finished the game 7-for-13 with 118 yards and a touchdown for the Lions. Roby totaled a team-high 46 rushing yards on one carry, but it was Chris Sawdey who carried the load to the tune of 44 yards on nine carries. Stanley finished with 40 yards on eight carries. Peachtree Ridge held the Raiders to 166 yards of total offense.

PAUL GIGOT: Here's a concept: if there is any place where freedom of expression should be a given, it's a college campus. But Congress and about a third of the states are considering legislation aimed at protecting students from being punished for their opinions. Correspondent Lisa Rudolph has our briefing.
LISA RUDOLPH: College campuses are supposed to be havens of free thinking. Not so for Marissa Freemanus, a junior at Cal State Long Beach. She says her straight A record came to an end after her conservative views infuriated her English professor.
MARISSA FREIMANIS: I got the lowest grade in the class. He told us that we would be writing an essay on Fahrenheit 9/11. The reason that we write these papers is for him to correct our mechanical and grammatical mistakes that we might make, of which I had none, and the only thing that he wrote on my paper in you know, big red marker was that I missed the point of the film.
LISA RUDOLPH: Now a group called Students for Academic Freedom says if universities won't protect their right to have and express conservative views they'll find lawmakers who will.
MARISSA FREIMANIS: Anytime something gets swung way to far in one direction it's got to come back to the center and be balanced again and if it takes the state to do that then that's what needs to happen.
LISA RUDOLPH: In Georgia recently the state legislature held hearings to investigate clashes between conservative students and their liberal professors.
MARISSA FREIMANIS: In one of my classes, when a student expresses a point of view different from that of the professor's, the response is most often one of dismissal -- telling the students �you are ignorant or you don't know anything."
DAVID HOROWITZ: It's a huge problem. We've had Republican students, conservative students hauled up in front of the class to explain how anyone could be a Republican. This is grotesque.
LISA RUDOLPH: David Horowitz, the man behind Students for Academic Freedom, a left wing radical at Columbia University in the '50s, now turned conservative activist who says campuses in the McCarthy Era were more intellectually free than they are today.
DAVID HOROWITZ: This is very specifically a question of the academic freedom of students, their right not to be subjected to indoctrination when they've paid for, and their parents have paid for, an education.
LISA RUDOLPH: Horowitz says after college administrators refused to acknowledge problems or make internal policy changes he turned to the government.
DAVID HOROWITZ : Why are we concerned about the ethics of Enron and not concerned about the ethics of Harvard? This is a matter of the integrity of American educational institutions.
LISA RUDOLPH: Congress is considering an academic bill of rights and at least 16 states have introduced bills that would limit what instructors can discuss in class and establish grievance procedures for students. But whether changing the law would protect or destroy first amendment rights is at the center of a sharp national debate.
ROGER BOWEN: Faculty and faculty alone have the right to determine the content of a course, not David Horowitz, not Congress, not the Pennsylvania State Legislature or any other state legislature.
LISA RUDOLPH: Roger Bowen, a political science professor for 25 years, former college president and current head of the American Association of University Professors says the proposed laws would strip professors of their first amendment rights.
ROGER BOWEN: If government is in the classroom some faculty who are not tenured they're going to worry about students badmouthing them, criticizing them, accusing them of being too liberal. It's a question of self-preservation.
LISA RUDOLPH: You're saying that the universities should police themselves, not have laws to do that for them.
ROGER BOWEN: We already have standards, professional standards and I believe the vast majority of faculty adhere to those professional standards. What you're describing, what David Horowitz is trying to do is create a cure, so called, that is much worse than the disease. Horowitz is an enemy of academic freedom.
DAVID HOROWITZ: My critics are the McCarthyites. Of course they're the witch hunters. If the administration and the trustees will not enforce their own academic freedom principles, then the legislatures have a legal obligation to step in and see that the university's policies are respected.
LISA RUDOLPH: But students like Dartmouth sophomore Morgan Cohen say student's rights do not need protecting.
MORGAN COHEN : The moment you legislate academic freedom is the moment that it starts to disappear. The best way to protect academic freedom is to leave it what it is which is free -- free from restrictions. Especially restrictions imposed by state governments.
LISA RUDOLPH: Critics chalk up the controversy to what they call the growing conservative tidal wave sweeping the nation.
Republicans, the conservatives today, they've got the White House, they've got Congress, they've got the courts. I think they're going after the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and I also think they're going after universities because their goal is to mold American public opinion over the long term. So they're looking not just at the immediate, the here and the now, but instead to say how can we guarantee that conservatism will be the reigning ideology of America 20-30 years from now.
LISA RUDOLPH: The federal resolution is expected to be voted on this fall. Lisa Rudolph for THE JOURNAL EDITORIAL REPORT.
PAUL GIGOT: Dan, Professor Bowen is clearly upset and thinks that there is an attempt here to have a conservative coup take over the classroom. What do you think about his argument?
DAN HENNINGER: Well, what I think is that Professor Bowen and other liberal professors of a certain age are bitter. Back when the great society was building, they were present at the creation. Academics, especially in the social sciences, laid the groundwork, they testified before Congress, they contributed to the process. Now, you know, they've largely become irrelevant. The locus of power has shifted to specialists in think tanks, many of whom are refugees from this situation, or in the media and even radio talk shows. And now, I think like petulant children, they're taking it out on conservative students.
PAUL GIGOT: But is there really a prospect that politicians could somehow regulate classroom speech?
DAN HENNINGER: I would say legally it's a non-starter.
PAUL GIGOT: First Amendment just would rule it out.
DAN HENNINGER: It would rule it out, but if it were litigated I think the effect would take hold.
PAUL GIGOT: Interesting.
STEPHEN MOORE: One piece of good news about universities, I mean it is true that the last two bastions of the left are the media and the academy, but you're starting to see conservative groups start to emerge on college campuses. This has liberals very angry. It's like little seeds of conservatism in this huge island of liberalism. So I do think that you're starting to see conservative students fight back.
PAUL GIGOT: Are you really worried, Rob, that there is this indoctrination effect though from professors to students? I mean you were a conservative when you were on campus, I suspect, and somehow you managed to survive and come out of it. Aren't kids smart enough to understand that their professors are just one point of view and they have access to a whole stream of other point of views now on the internet, in newspapers. How big a problem do you think this is?
ROB POLLOCK: That's right, I survived it. Did I get graded down for unorthodox ideas a few times? Sure I did. But you know, I made it through. I think the solution here is not to have ham-handed legislation, but really to have the trustees of universities become more active. Right now we've got sort of a lot of very lax or non-existent management that sort of lets the faculties go wild. But universities have boards for a reason and they need to step up and themselves police this kind of thing.
PAUL GIGOT: Interesting example of that. T.J. Rogers, who is the CEO of Cypress Semiconductor and a Dartmouth alumnus who is now on the Dartmouth Board of Trustees has taken a very active role pushing free speech on the Dartmouth campus, which, truth in advertising, happens to be my alma mater. He's having a big impact saying, look, you've got to open this up, not to the extent that it dictates to the faculty, but that you have to be open to other points of view. Dan?
DAN HENNINGER: Well, the students of my experience today who are basically apolitical find a lot of this sort of teaching boring as they say and they essentially try to avoid it, which is a bad thing if you're spending $30,000 dollars to send a student to a college.
PAUL GIGOT: That's for sure.
DAN HENNINGER: But they are simply driving students out of their classes.
PAUL GIGOT: And the real loss here is to the universities themselves which used to be a lot more interesting and as Dan had said before much of the idea creation, so many of the really bright minds have moved to the Heritage Foundations, the Brookings, and they are having the big effect on public policy, not the institutions.
STEVE MOORE: The other area where the ideology of the universities can be changed is through donors. Most universities get huge amounts of endowments from their alumni and so on and some of the alumni are starting to say wait, until you change your speech codes and your ways, I'm not going to write those big checks.
PAUL GIGOT: Okay, Steve, last word. Next subject.

2010 BEST Seafood Market
New Deal Fish Market
Local retail seafood options are a pretty shabby lot. And at first gander, New Deal, a no-frills fish market masquerading as a bodega, doesn't seem like an exception. Nonperishables appear to outnumber the quivering catch, packed—quite literally—to the gills in the small display case. But regulars know that half the inventory, be it sashimi-grade salmon, dry-packed scallops, or the makings of a 15-creature cioppino, is probably still chilling in the walk-in, awaiting its turn on center stage.

Electrical Issue Caused School Fire
By Melissa M. Scallan, The Sun Herald, Biloxi, Miss.
Jul. 10–GULFPORT — State, local and federal officials have determined an electrical problem caused a fire Tuesday that damaged 24 classrooms at Lizana Elementary School.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Department, the state Fire Marshal's Office and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives were at the school Wednesday investigating.
"They conducted a thorough investigation and found nothing of a suspicious nature," said George Mixon, fire coordinator for Harrison County. "We determined that there was an electrical problem that started in one of the classrooms that started the fire."
The Harrison County School Board held a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to give Superintendent Henry Arledge authority to hire contractors to repair the damage. Arledge said he hopes repairs will be complete by Aug. 7, the first day of school.
Two classrooms sustained the heaviest damage, but the others in that wing all had fire, water or smoke damage. The cafeteria, library and administration offices were also damaged.
But Arledge said it could have been worse.
"Had it happened at 1 or 2 in the morning, it would have been really bad," he said. "I feel real comfortable that we can get it back in operation by the start of school."
Mixon said everything will have to be cleaned, including floors, ceilings, books and doors. In addition, parts of the roof were damaged, and workers will have to check gas lines and the electrical system.
Arledge said he didn't know exactly how much damage was done, but he estimated the cost would be between $500,000 and $1 million.
Gulfport firefighters assist Lizana and Saucier volunteer fire departments and Harrison County Fire Service in fighting a fire at Lizana Elementary School on Tuesday evening.

On December 5, 2011, in Kaiser Foundation Hospitals v. Wilson 2011 Cal. App. LEXIS 1511 (Dec. 5, 2011), the Court of Appeal for the Fourth District, Division One, ruled that the trial court properly considered "all relevant evidence," including generally inadmissible hearsay evidence, in deciding to issue a workplace violence injunction. As a result, employers likely will have an easier time obtaining injunctions against potential workplace violence situations in the future.
In the underlying matter, when deciding to issue an injunction banning a former Kaiser employee's husband, Wilson, from a Kaiser facility for three years, the trial court considered all of the testimony submitted by Kaiser. Specifically, in support of its injunction petitions, Kaiser presented declarations and testimony from two employees to demonstrate that Wilson had made several credible threats of violence. In particular, the two employees alleged that they had learned from others (and did not actually hear from Wilson) that Wilson had variously threatened to "put [them] down," "flip his lid," "do something that he would regret," "kill someone," and shoot one of them. The employees did, however, testify that Wilson had made one direct threat, when he told one of the employees that, if anything happened to his wife, "you are going to pay for this." After the trial court granted the injunction, Wilson appealed on the ground that the trial court had improperly considered the second-hand evidence during the hearing.

Julie Brown's collection of clothing and lifestyle designs is as extensive as it is vibrant and eclectic: whether it's dresses or beach chairs, tops and shorts, ipad cases or a line of children's clothing, Julie Brown has covered them in her signature prints. Brown comes from a family of artists and designers, and her lifelong love of fashion and fabric is evident in the bright colors, classic silhouettes and whimsical details of all of her work. Her clothing also has the advantage of being supremely wearable, created for everyday life – whether it's for a trip to the beach, a walk in the park, or a black tie affair.
Redefine a room with these offerings — furnishings and art — that are all about mood-lifting, eye-catching prints. Don't be afraid to mix and match prints — in fact, we encourage it.
Bold, bright fabrics are the perfect complement to the classic, uncluttered lines of these oh-so-summery chairs, ottomans, accents, and more by Julie Brown. We love their sunny, breezy aesthetic.
'60s style was mod and colorful, with plenty of flower power that reflected the counterculture spirit of the era when the Age of Aquarius dawned and peace and love were oft-spoken ideals. The furnishings and accents in this sale are a mix of contrast of pared-down designs that reflect the pervasive influence of midcentury modernism (made just a little quirkier for the Woodstock decade), and colorful pieces with a more florid, bohemian look. After all, no matter what the decade, the art's always in the mix.
Mid-century modern design overtook both North America and Europe in the '50s, and to this day, it's still hotly sought-after thanks to the elegance and ease of its minimal, sculptural, organic-inspired lines. It's also known for its versatility: these pieces work well within modern and contemporary design schemes, but they'll serve just as well as an artful counterpoint to more traditional and transitional schemes.

I have 2 systems that will be not be accessible to users, and will frequently lose power, one is running windows7, and one is redhat linux. Is there some settings I can do so that they don't require a soft shutdown? Linux machine is running ext4, and windows ntfs. Thanks.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I would put them on a small UPS and have the UPS invoke a shutdown when power is lost.
If you can't use a UPS you options are quite limited. In windows 7 you can probably tell the OS to reboot in the event of a power outage (I am sure you can do this in Red Linux as well). I wouldn't recommend this as frequent Hard Shutdowns will eventually lead to some sort of file/disk corruption that could be irrepairable....
Depends on what you're using them for. If you can make your complete Red Hat solution fit on a DVD, you can boot off that and not even use a hard disk, which makes power outages less of a problem. This would work if it's a router or firewall, not so much if it's a file server.

Former military chief gets life sentence in Turkey
ISTANBUL In a landmark trial, scores of people - including Turkey's former military chief, politicians and journalists - were convicted on Monday of plotting to overthrow Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government soon after it came to power in 2002.
Retired Gen. Ilker Basbug was the most prominent defendant among some 250 people facing verdicts after a five-year trial that has become a central drama in tensions between the country's secular elite and Erdogan's Islamic-oriented Justice and Development Party.
The trial has sparked protests, and on Monday police blocked hundreds of demonstrators from reaching the High Criminal Court in Silivri, 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Istanbul, in a show of solidarity with the defendants.
But Monday's verdicts were not expected to set off the kind of violent anti-government demonstrations that were recently sparked by a government plan to build a replica Ottoman-era barracks at a park near Istanbul's central Taksim Square.
In addition to Basbug, at least 18 other defendants were sentenced to life in prison, including 10 retired military officers and Dogu Perincek, leader of the left-wing and nationalist Workers Party. At least 64 other defendants received sentences ranging from a year to 47 years, according to state-run TRT television news.
At least 21 people were acquitted. The fully tally of verdicts and sentences was not immediately available.
The defendants were accused of plotting high-profile attacks that prosecutors said were aimed at sowing chaos in Turkey to prepare the way for a military coup. The prosecutions already have helped Erdogan's government reshape Turkey's military and assert civilian control in a country that had seen three military coups since 1960.
The trial, which began in 2008, grew out of an investigation into the seizure of 27 hand grenades at the home of a noncommissioned officer in Istanbul in 2007.
The defendants were accused of being part of an alleged ultranationalist and pro-secular gang called Ergenekon, which takes its name from a legendary valley in Central Asia believed to be the ancestral homeland of Turks.
In thousands of pages of indictments, prosecutors maintained that the gang was behind a series of violent acts, including one in 2006 on a courthouse that killed a judge. Prosecutors say that the incidents were made to look as though they were carried out by Islamic militants, in a bid to create turmoil and provoke a military intervention.
Prosecutors say the gang also plotted to kill Erdogan, Nobel laureate author Orhan Pamuk and other high-profile figures.
The defendants have rejected the accusations, and they are expected to appeal Monday's verdicts and sentences to the Court of Appeals in Ankara.
Representatives of Turkey's main pro-secular opposition party lashed out against the verdicts, accusing the government of influencing the justice system.
"A verdict that was decided five years ago was made public today," said Akif Hamzacebi, a legislator from the opposition Republican People's Party. "All principles of rights, justice, human rights, fair trial were trampled on here."
Peter Stano, spokesman for the EU's Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele, said he would not comment on the specific rulings, but noted that the European Union has expressed concern before about defendants' rights in Turkey and indictments that are too general.

Soused Sardinian Celery
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Ever since I read that it has marvelous beaches of very fine sand and is known for its rustic sheep and goat cheeses, Sardinia has been near the top of the list of places I really want to visit. However, since crossing from New York into New Jersey is what comprises a Major Travel Event in my life, such a trip seems fated for the distant future. In the meantime, however, I sometimes like to pretend I am in Sardinia. This is a bit of a stretch, as I am in the middle of Nassau County, but both Sardinia and Long Island do share certain similarities, the primary one being that they are both islands, as well as several other things I can't think of right now. Anyway, one of the ways I pretend I am in Sardinia is by sitting in the backyard with a lovely glass of white wine and a plate full of olives and a glass bowl of cracked ice and what we call Soused Sardinian Celery. I have absolutely no idea if Sardinians do this to their celery, or if they even eat celery, but if they did, it might taste something like this. - wssmom
Serves 4
- 1 bunch celery, trimmed, outer ribs discarded
- 1 medium glass bowl filled with crushed or cracked ice
- Sambuca
- Separate the celery into ribs, and slice each rib into three pieces the long way. You can leave the leaves on top to look pretty if you like.
- Bury the ends of the sliced celery in the cracked ice. Pour a couple of shots of the sambuca over the cracked ice and let the celery hang out for a while until it has absorbed some of that lovely licorice flavor.
- Serve forth with a glass of wine, some olives and other vaguely Sardinian-like snacks and pretend you are overlooking a Mediterranean beach.

Limay power plant to be expanded, converted for other types of fuel
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Local power firm Millennium Energy Inc. is looking to expand the 620-megawatt Limay combined cycle power plant in Bataan, and eventually convert the facility to run using fuel sources other than diesel.
In an interview with reporters, Millennium Energy president Miguel Jose C. Valencia explained that they had tapped a third party consultant to look into the feasibility of the expansion and conversion of the Limay power facility, which the company acquired from conglomerate San Miguel Corp. in 2011.
"The study is ongoing, in fact, since last year. Once we complete the study, then we'll have more definitive timetable [for expansion and conversion]," Valencia said.
He, however, did not divulge details on the capacity being targeted for expansion and the fuel sources they have been eyeing for conversion. When asked about possible conversion to use natural gas, Valencia only noted that "the problem with [liquefied natural gas] is the supply and storage of supply. That costs a lot of capitalization."
Should Millennium Energy proceed with these plans, the company is more inclined to do the projects on its own rather than take in new partners.
"Right now, there is no drive towards that direction [of taking in new partners]. There is no intention. So if ever we expand, it will be internally funded," Valencia added.
For now, Millennium Energy is looking for ways to bring down the cost of fuel and therefore, the cost of power generated Limay, which is currently considered a "peaking plant." The facility, in the past, has also been tapped as a "must-run unit" whenever power supply in Luzon became tight.
The high cost of diesel, which was needed to run the plant, was also among the reasons why San Miguel decided to divest out of the Limay power plant after only two years of owning and operating it, San Miguel president Ramon S. Ang earlier said.
San Miguel also earlier embarked on studies to determine the feasibility of converting the Limay power plant. These studies showed, however, that at least $1 billion would be needed to convert the facility to run using LNG. There were also previous plans of doubling the power plant's capacity to 1,200 MW, which, alone, may already cost some $600 million.
Commissioned in 1993, the Limay power plant comprises two 310-MW modules, Blocks A and B, which consist of three 70-MW gas turbines and a 100-MW steam turbine, respectively. Located in Limay, Bataan, in Central Luzon, or approximately 145 kilometers west of Manila, the plant is designed to meet the base-load demand of the Luzon grid.

I had breast augmentation done by doctor Abboud last January. At the time he also removed a tiny cyst that was described by three other doctors as nothing to worry about. Two weeks later I was told I had breast cancer. He was very accommodating and helpful and very caring. I thank god for the decision I made to have augmentation otherwise my case could of been much more life altering. He's a good man, excellent surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone for any procedure. I had asked about a mini facelift and he was honest and said I didn't need it. I highly respect this doctor, excellent bedside manner, serious yet a great sense of humor as well. You need not look elsewhere.

Doc J Abboud has been nothing but amazing every time I go see him. I read other negative comments below and feel these people are probably never happy with anything and miserable with life.
Doc Abboud has the best bed side manners I have ever experienced . I have had several procedures ranging from cyst removal to Tummy . And every appointment I am treated with the upmost respect . He explains clearly with a patient demeanour with the procedure he is performing
Anyone reading this , please just go see for yourself . He is a busy surgeon which makes me appreciate the wait time if any . He is reasonable with his prices as he can perform many surgeries in his well equip office . This way he can lower costs ;) which everyone should appreciate .
My opinion is , great service , great outcomes and great cost ! ;)
Your truly
Never disappointed ;)

Dr. Abboud is one of the niciest doctor I've met. He always greeted on time with a big smile and I never felt rushed. He patiently answered all my questions, and even my emails with no delay. The day of the surgery, he made me feel confortable right away. He knows his stuff and has a great sense of humour. I have absolutely nothing to say against his staff either. His secretary and nurse are totally lovely. I would recommend him anytime. I think some people expect way too much from other people. Doctors may also have bad days, but it doesnt mean that they cant do their job! Perhaps some would need to work on their self-esteem prior to judge someone else...

I had a consult in March for a cyst removal with Dr. Abboud. I am reading other people's comments and realized most ppl here have had a major procedure (BA, face lift etc) I could be wrong but from what I have experienced, because I'm paying way less I'm automatically treated with less respect and care than the others. I unfortunately experienced the negative side of him and also felt very low and as if I'm bothering him and wasting his time. Totally not the vibe you'd want to get from a doctor. He was very arrogant and I felt pretty bad about myself for going in to see him. I have never experienced such bad feelings from a health care taker before. I didn't bother going back to him. Really sad it feels more of a business than a medical office. I hope he can read this and maybe think about how he treats some of his patients.
Was this rating useful? 1 [[ userState['ratings'][2356082].votes_count ]]
I heard nice things about this doctor, so I decided, through word of mouth to book an appoint to see him for a breast augmentation. When I arrived at the office, the receptionist was very friendly and polite. I waited 45 min past my scheduled appoint to see him.... He spent less than 10 min with me and I felt very rushed. I found him very condesending and arrogant even though he is competent, I didn't feel like he cared about me as a patient and I didn't feel he was compassionate or empathetic at all which is why after the consultation I didn't book another appointment but instead went to someone else with more experience and who was humble and empathetic.
Was this rating useful? 2 [[ userState['ratings'][2356080].votes_count ]]
I can't recommend him enough. His website says a mini-face life can make you look 10 years younger in 2 hours and I must say I am good with that! I can't believe the results, so much better than I expected...and done right in the office. It's only been less than 2 weeks and I'm healing so well. No one can tell I've had a 'face lift' as I don't look un-natural and 'stretchy', I just look younger. And at a very reasonable price. Excellent staff and follow up.

I have been considering getting my upper eyelids done for the last 3 years or so and have been to all the big names and was told the amount and that was it. When I met with Doctor Abboud, he was quite honest 2 years ago when he said I didn't need it yet. I was never more impressed with a doctor because he was honest with me. He will be the doctor I do choose once I am ready. He is down to earth, easy to talk to and has your best interest at heart. My family doctor used him and recommended him to me when he first returned to Ottawa from being in Boston. Love this guy, and so will you!

BackgroundBraid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.
- Forgiving yet challenging gameplay: Braid is a 2-D platform game where you can never die and never lose. Despite this, Braid is challenging—but the challenge is about solving puzzles, rather than forcing you to replay tricky jumps.
- Rich puzzle environment: Travel through a series of worlds searching for puzzle pieces, then solving puzzles by manipulating time: rewinding, creating parallel universes, setting up pockets of dilated time. The gameplay feels fresh and new; the puzzles are meant to inspire new ways of thinking.
- Aesthetic design: A painterly art style and lush, organic soundtrack complement the unique gameplay.
- Nonlinear story: A nonlinear fiction links the various worlds and provides real-world metaphors for your time manipulations; in turn, your time manipulations are projections of the real-world themes into playful "what-if" universes where consequences can be explored.
