1999 BEST Bistro, French
Les Zygomates Wine Bar & Bistro
Even if the food wasn't great (which it is), Les Zyg would lure diners with its low-key atmosphere: light jazz playing background to friendly conversation, exposed-brick walls hung with vintage posters—all in the tradition of a bistro. Now add great food—pan-seared monkfish, crab cakes with avocado, king salmon Napoleon with clams au vermouth, steak au poivre—and a $19 prix-fixe menu Monday through Thursday, and flavor with a constantly revolving wine list that features some excellent choices from California as well as France.

Customer Ratings:
The texture of this product is very smooth, and it feels great going on. Unfortunately, it proved too heavy for my combination skin. I switched to the light formula and couldn't be happier.
I've tried every SPF formula from drugstore to expensive luxe brands, and I have never loved a sunscreen until this one! Usually, they are too tacky or thick and don't really soak into my skin. Not only does this soak in, but it's really all the coverage I need unless I am going somewhere where I need a more "made up" look. I see that it's too white for some people, but I am fair-skinned and it works just great for me. Doesn't even rub off onto my clothes when I use it on my neck. Perfection!
very excited to receive my moisturuzers. winter weather was drying out my kin, and this is fabulous..skin feeling soft, supple...using along with the aha exfolient! on days feel need a bit more moisturizer, just use a bit of the moisture boost over it
I love this moisturizer. The texture is great. It goes on easily and feels very soothing and nourishing to the skin. I haven't liked other moisturizers with sunscreen in the past; they always feel too heavy. But I look forward to using this one.
I have naturally very dry skin so moisture is key. This product is very moisturizing (as some sunscreens are not). It has antioxidants so it has the added value/benefit of doing more than one thing while boosting the efficacy of the sunscreen too! I find that it really does what it says it will. Not many manufacturers can get the right balance of moisture with titanium dioxide to work, but this product gets the mix right.
I have never written an online review but compelled to do it for PB. Never been happier. I haven't had huge problems with my skin but at 44 have been working on lines and elasticity. This is the first product that made me feel like my face looks younger. The very first morning after using it when I woke up my husband said "you look pretty." :) I used to use darphin which is so much more expensive and now with PB I can use the product more liberally on my neck décolletage etc which is nice.
Love the Daily moisturizer with SPF 25, it is not too white or too greasy.Makes my skin feel soft and smooth.I use it after Resist Retinol Serum.Wonderful pairing.Prices are amazing for these excellent products.I have used many brand names, looking forward to trying vitamin C booster next.
I initially bought this product and tried it during warm/humid weather. It was heavy, made my face look shiny/greasy, and I didn't like the white cast that never fully went away, so I tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it.
When the cold dry weather hit I decided to give it another try. I've been using it for about a month and it's awesome for winter weather!
4 stars because, like others, I really dislike how it dispenses. Would MUCH prefer a flip-top cap.
Great on my very sensitive, easy-burning, 40 y.o. skin. I use the Barely There Tint over this, instead of another foundation, and I get compliments on my skin all the time. Who gets compliments on their skin?? The pearly white cast glows through the Sheer Matte Tint...they're a great pairing. I apply all over the face, including outer orbital area, down my neck and on the décolletage, for even, thorough coverage. Any extra goes on the backs of my hands.
THIS MOISTURIZER IS AMAZING!!!! I love this stuff..the best SPF that Paula carries..in my opinion. The texture is amazing as well as the overall formulation, I don't have wrinkles yet but I am starting to see fine lines and this is working like magic! The only thing I don't like is the packaging! (it would be PERFECT with a new bottle)
I ordered a sample and I have to say that this moisturizer is great! At the beginning it feels a little heavy but when is finally applied it feels good and the makeup settles very nice!
For me this is the perfect daytime moisturizer. It smooths and protects, glides on and primes my skin perfectly for my foundation. I appreciate the SPF 25 because my current favorite foundation does not contain sun screen, and that is fine with me because I prefer to keep the SPF in the moisturizer anyway. I do not mind the slight "whitish cast" because it makes my skin look moist and fresh. And it does not irritate my eyes, so I use it as an eye cream as well. Thank you Paula.
So I thought it was working, even though it was a bit creamy and even ordered a few extra bottles. However, after a few weeks, it just felt really heavy and was feeling like it was making my complexion break out and discolor. So, unfortunately, I had to switch back to my norma SPF cream...which was discontinued (not Paula's)
I had high hopes for this product due to some stellar reviews, but upon use I was very disappointed. The moisturizer leaves a greasy shine on my skin and feels like I'm wearing some kind of mask. It also is VERY tacky/sticky and I have to blot most of it off leaving my already dry skin very dry. Lately I've been using my free sample of the Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum, which works much better and is not greasy at all. I wish I would have bought the serum instead.
good: dries to a matte powder finish and stays that way all day; moisturizes dry skin nicely.
bad: initially applies thickly, leaving skin sticky; may take a very long time in humid environments to dry to that powdery finish.
questionable: titanium dioxide does not provide full range UVA protection (UVA1 only). If someone can't use avebenzone or zinc oxide, it's better than nothing, but the inclusion of zinc oxide would be preferred.
Thanks for your review! We feel strongly that titanium dioxide provides robust UVA protectoin on its own, and there's research supporting this. We realize this is somewhat controversial, and there are those who maintain zinc oxide is superior, but we prefer to offer both along with other sunscreen actives so our customers have several options.
I love the feel of this product, but I gave it 4 stars because it reacts with foundations. With PC All Bases Covered and RESIST Anti Aging Foundation this product thins the coverage, and layering does not help, so if you have something to hide, this is probably not for you. On the other hand, this product makes some foundations that are too opaque and flat appear much more skin like and dimensional, like Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Foundation and Loreal's Visible Lift Serum Absolute.
I use this moisturizer as a daytime eye cream, and it is absolutely perfect for that purpose. It is the only spf moisturizer that I have used so far that does not sting my eyes at all, probably because it is a mineral-based sunscreen. It is a little too emollient to use on the rest of my face (combination skin) except during really cold winter months, but it is perfect as a year-round eye cream to moisturize the drier skin around my eyes and protect it against the sun. Love it!
I really wanted to like this product but I don't. It has a "tacky" feel and leaves a white coat. To rid my face of the white mask I have to rub it in which I don't like to do. I also don't care for the packaging. When I twist the base and squeeze out a small amount and retwist the base to close, a tiny amount remains and gets all over my counter.
This is the absolute best daytime moisturizer for my normal/dry skin, and I've tried all the big names. Once the white cast absorbs (quickly) my skin is soft, smooth and glowing, perfectly ready for makeup. The only improvement I can possibly think of would be a higher SPF rating. I don't find the cap problematic at all - I just account for the fact that a small amount of product will come out when I twist the tube shut and gauge accordingly.
Along with Retin-A cream, this has been my desert-island, can't-live-without, order-in-multiple essential. I also love the new RESIST Super-Light Daily Defense SPF 30, but if I had to do a Sophie's Choice, this one is the clear winner. I'm prone to breakouts (both acne and rosacea) but have never had an issue with this product. Goes on white because of the zinc oxide but blends in and is an especially silky base for powder/powder foundation. (For me, a bit too slick for liquid foundation...)
Did not like this product for myself only because after several hours into the day, I had a white buildup in the wrinkles around my eye. None of the other PC sunscreen products settle into fine lines and wrinkles, but I found that this product did. I have tried numerous different combinations when using this product, but to no avail. Everytime it settled into the fine lines and wrinkles and needed to be repeatedly buffed out to even out tone.
I use this product every single day. I am very sun sensitive and used to have brown
blotches on my face. After using Paula's products, within a year the brown spots on
my 56 year old face were completely gone.....and I found I no longer needed foundation!!!
I use a spf tinted moisturizer only and then put this product ON TOP for
more sun protection AND a luminescent glow!!!!! Try it-I've had strangers tell me
that they notice my skin glows.
While this is an excellent moisturizer, I can't get past the white cast. I have switched to Paula's new Super Light moisturizer with sun screen that is tinted - which may be Paula's answer to the BB and CC craze!
I love this moisturizer! The consistency is luxurious and feels dreamy on my skin. My skin is on the dry side and it provides great light moisturization. It disappears quickly and I can easily apply my makeup on top. Sometimes the twist top is a little tricky for dispensing. I open it, squeeze so there is just a bit of moisturizer peeking out, then twist the top closed. Then I end up with just the right amount. I am a snob about sunscreen, and love love love this moisturizer. Try it!
I bought this back when Paula wasn't offering as many options for a higher SPF if your skin was aging and oily. I found it to be a bit too heavy for my face. However I didn't want to send it back, so I started using it on my hands when I go out.
I like that I am getting the high quality skin care ingredients that I would want on my face, on my hands. We all know that your hands can show your true age unless you take care of them as well as you do your face/neck.
What makes this product unique?This ultra-gentle yet effective formula has a lightweight, silky-cream texture that hydrates and enhances radiance while providing extremely effective mineral-based, broad-spectrum sun protection. It includes potent antioxidants to defend your skin from environmental stressors, allowing the skin to repair itself on a cellular level, and restoring skin's ability to Resist further signs of aging. Used daily, this moisturizer will help reduce wrinkles and brown spots, while rebuilding collagen and improving skin tone.
Fragrance-free, colorant-free, and formulated to work beautifully under makeup. 100% Guaranteed.
Who is this product for?Resist Cellular Defense SPF 25 is specially formulated for normal to dry or very dry skin skin. It is a gentle mineral sunscreen that is also excellent for sensitive or rosacea-affected skin. The creamy texture is not ideal for oily or oily areas of combination skin.

Should I reapply Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer during the day?
How is Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 different from Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30?
Texture-wise, these two daytime moisturizers with sunscreen are quite similar. Both provide hydration and a silky, radiant finish those with normal to dry skin will appreciate best. Resist Cellular Defense SPF 25 leaves less sheen on skin when compared to Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30.
Is Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 the only Paula's Choice moisturizer with sunscreen that provides anti-aging benefits?
I notice I get a white cast after applying Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer. Anything I can do to minimize this?
Experiment by applying a drop or two of a sheer bronzing gel (Clinique makes a good one) over Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer. You can also mix a drop or two of the bronzing gel with this daytime moisturizer before applying. The bronze will offset the white cast and should make your skin tone look more natural without losing the anti-aging sun protection this provides. Of course you can also apply a Paula's Choice foundation with sunscreen over Resist Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer, too.

Private Brodie & Police Officer Marc
Private Brodie returns from a long hiatus to meet up with Police Officer Marc for the first time.These two hotties begin by chatting about the porn they're watching, while massaging themselves through their pants. Brodie manages to get his pants off in just a few seconds--we can see the bulge in his underwear shortly thereafter. Marc follows suit and whips his off.Once Brodie pulls out his steel-hard boner, Marc goes to town on it. Marc sucks and slurps up a storm, moaning and sticking his ass up in the air, while Brodie keeps his focus on the video playing across the room.Then, Brodie pushes the copper onto his side and goes for a full search and seizure. Marc takes it like a champ and gives the marine every bit of his ass.Once Brodie's had his way from the side, he puts Marc in ***gie position and gives him some more super fucking. After he's gotten what he wants from the officer, Brodie deposits a thick wad of marine spunk all over Marc's face.

After Senate defeat, what's next for jobs legislation?
Wednesday - 10/12/2011, 9:16am EDT
Last month, President Obama introduced his initiative to create jobs with a demand that Congress pass it without delay or revisions.
Now, weeks later, the Senate has killed it.
Erik Wasson, a staff writer with The Hill newspaper, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to provide an update.
After the Congressional death of Obama's jobs package, are there any other bills Congress could pass?
Also, the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness recently came out with its own proposals. Wasson also discussed the chances that Congress will take up some of those recommendations.

We provided a full refund. we appreciate feedback from our guests however there are some inaccuracies. As soon as our guests arrived in the evening the hob unfortunately malfunctioned, we have replaced this the first morning of our guests stay. The oven was actually working I turned it on to show the guest how it worked and there is also a small halogen oven, and electric grill and microwave. The guest also thought that the hot water in the bathroom wasn't working but there was a safety switch turned off and it did work. The electric circuit has been tested and is working correctly.
Fresh clean bedding is always provided for each new guest. One oven and the area behind the settee had unfortunately been overlooked by our cleaner and we have sorted this issue out, the rest of the property was clean. Currently there is a small table in the kitchen for 2 people, there is also 2 extra folding chairs and a table and chairs in the garden. We are soon to put a bigger table in the kitchen.
As advertised unless you are under 5ft you cannot stand up in the bedroom, it is an enclosed mezzanine floor. We aim to provide an affordable and comfortable place to stay in Hebden Bridge, we are sorry for the unforeseen cleaning issue and the malfunction of the hob.

How to make Lemon Sugar
Homemade vanilla sugar is one ingredient that I always like to keep in the kitchen.

Hi! Great theme – I am getting an error when I try to install it. The message is that the stylesheet is missing.
Don't direct upload the package that you downloaded from themeforest, please read this faq http://www.templatesquare.com/clients/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=10
Does this theme handle videos? I'd like to use the portfolio for videos and need to know if that's possible. With a shadowbox effect.
Yes this them support videos, in the portfolio page, you can show videos in the lightbox.
I installed the theme, imported the sample data and all the plugins let the lightbox doesn't work. I even installed prettyphoto, and it only works if I sort a page. Can you explain this bug?
Hello, i also installed the theme unter WP 3 .2.1 with the sample data and all the suggested plugins. Unfortunately, the home page slider doesnt work..(it shows only the first image) also experiencing the same issue as user FWD with the prettyphoto; it only works if you sort the portfolio first.
can someone help?

I'd really like to get this to look like the samples show. I am having trouble with the front page – and when I tried to install 'prettyphoto' it gave over 400 characters of unexpected output during activation. I am looking for "headers already sent" messages, and problems with syndication feeds or other issues, – because it says if I find those- I will have to try deactivating or removing the plugin.
I am disappointed that it is so difficult to put the site together – I was expecting drop it in and activate it. The support documentation gives numerous sizes of images that it appears I have to do myself.
Okay, I've been going through the documentation and finally got the home page to look right. I am getting very excited.
The only problem I'm having is with the slider at the bottom, which shows no images in it. What am I doing wrong? I don't see it in the documentation…

Dominique Strauss-Kahn: Case Dismissed
Tuesday, August 23, 2011
Jami Floyd, legal analyst, sometime guest host for The Brian Lehrer Show, and It's A Free Country blogger, and Will Saletan, Slate's national correspondent, talk about the Manhattan DA's decision to request all charges be dropped against Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Guests:Jami Floyd and Will Saletan
Comments [31]
DSK - a wealthy, well-connected and influential person - did not even have to face a jury with regard to charges of RAPE.
The DA - Vance - should be made to resign for this. He dismissed the charges - despite strong physical evidence. He allegedly did so because the victim - who was a refugee - had a record of misstatements on her asylum application, and because her account of the events after the trauma of the rape was inconsistent.
DA Vance publicly humiliated her and publicly called her a liar. He did NOT allow her to have her day in court and let a JURY DECIDE.
DA Vance did not question DSK's integrity ! Has he lied ?
Does he routinely frequent prostitutes ? Does he routinely accept bribes of sex from banks and other companies with business before the IMF ? No, he merely assumed that the weak party - a poor refugee, a maid, by many accounts a devout person - lied. He let DSK
go WITHOUT A TRIAL. He kept his prosecution for the VICTIM.
Does DA Vance imply that if anyone rapes this victim in the future, they will also face no trial, simply because the victim allegedly lied in the past. Has he declared "OPEN SEASON" on her and on other women - that men of power and influence can RAPE them with impunity ?
That anyone stunned and shocked by brutal victimization who has some variation in their initial account of events will not even get their case heard by a jury - that the DA will refuse to do their job and act as a prosecutor to try to get
to the Truth ? Does this mean that anyone who has inconsistencies in government or other bureaucratic forms now has NO RECOURSE TO JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW ?!?!?!?
DA Vance should be PUBLICLY CALLED TO TASK FOR THIS.
He should be made to resign.
An independent investigation into DSK's
truthfulness, ethics and past should be conducted and the results made public.
DA Vance will no doubt collect his reward in a few years from DSK's powerful and wealthy friends - even if he loses his job, but he is no longer fit to work as a PUBLIC AGENT of JUSTICE.
"...The District Attorney's press conference was cut short when a 5.8-magnitude earthquake shook the room in New York City, causing reporters to flee out of the building."
ok..the ground started to shake at the press conference when Vance started to announce the case dismissal...i'm not saying it was a message from the gods...
Did the DA ask DSK UNDER OATH if he had routinely patronized prostitutes in the past ?
If he admitted that he had, this would call DSK's character into question. It is also against the law.
If he denied it under oath and perjured himself - this would have given the DA a way to question DSK's credibility. A DA who was actually trying to prosecute his case, rather than pander to the wealthy, could most likely have found various prostitutes in Europe and the US who might have come forward to discuss DSK's activities, if this had been his routine behavior. This would have been material to the case, (and of course the perjury would have been a crime). But, no doubt, the DA wanted to treat his royal client DSK with kid gloves.
It is also possible that DSK wrongfully assumed the victim was a prostitute because he was used to large banks and wealthy companies with business before the IMF to try to give him "gifts" of such services to win his favor or maybe some insider tips.
This is all clearly just speculation. It would have taken a DA who was actually doing his job to actually try to find the truth. Now we will most likely never know. DSK and his wealthy buddies have won.
Of course it is also possible that DSK was innocent and completely truthful. This was for a JURY to decide.
The DA's job is to prosecute, the Defense's job is to protect DSK, the JURY's job is to hear the evidence and find JUSTICE.
But they never had the chance, so we won't know. DA C. Vance should resign.
@ Fuva from Harlemworld
Yes by all means use this sad state of affairs to "leverage" more "teachable moments" down the throat of an already vomiting society. Not one of us, including myself, know with certainty what happened in that hotel room - we may each have our own opinions as to what likely occurred but what we need LEAST of all is more despicable political grandstanding and not-for-profit-except-for-the-salary advocates drumming up a lot noise for the sake of their own careers.
Neither DSK not Diallo are angels, that much is certain but I'm Vance would have brought the case to trial if there was even a chance of winning, rather than live with this egg on his face, he didn't - doesn't that tell you something?
Once you've LIED about being raped, that doesn't mean you've lied about anything and everything but it sure puts a lot of REASONABLE DOUBT into the mind of a jury when it's a he said, she said situation. Duh.
Class and race have nothing to do with it, DSK doesn't beat city hall by being a rich white french guy - he beats this case because Diallo lied about the EXACT SAME THING before and likely a lot else. If there was no anal/vaginal intercourse it's also quite easy to simulate forcible rape - that much should be obvious.
There were plenty of potential benefits to DA Vance for dropping the case against DSK.
There were plenty of potential benefits to DA Vance for botching the case against DSK so he would "have to" drop it.
DSK was a wealthy, powerful and influential man with many friends here and abroad.
Perhaps, both discretely and legally, some time in the future, DSK or his friends will show DA Vance, his family or friends their gratitude.
If DA Vance persisted, they might have shown DA Vance, his family or friends their wrath.
No doubt, if this would happen it would be very discrete. Perhaps an anonymous corporate donation to his future candidacy for judge in a few years, perhaps book and speaking fees, perhaps some subtle plum consulting or corporate board jobs for him or those close to him.
If this were to happen, it'd be discrete, and it'd probably even be technically legal.
As DSK (and DA Vance) have shown, the real "teaching moment" here is that in the United States in 2011, a sufficiently wealthy and powerful person can seem to get away with anything - without even having to face a jury for the most serious of accused crimes.
Like the "nobles" of ancient France, it appears that wealthy and powerful in the US can not only get away with paying almost no taxes, they get repeatedly bailed out by the government when they harm the rest of us, whether that's in widespread bank theft of people's homes, or now, far more chillingly, when they are accused of rape and when there is substantial physical evidence to suggest it was the case. Droit du seigneur.
Did the prosecution even interogate DSK to find o ut how he claims he "seduced" a maid in his room ?
Would anyone find his statements credible ? Why were they so afraid that a jury would not believe him that they prevented justice - a trial by a jury of one's peers. Instead, he was sprung by the actions a single government employee -
DA Vance, someone who has a duty to protect justice.
There are always people who want to seek
to please the powerful in hopes of an eventual boon or in fear of reprisal
(for example like being publicly called an
intentional liar by a government official,
or by being slandered in the local press and being called a prostitute without evidence - both of which happened to the victim DA Vance was supposed to protect).
Can the victim sue the DA for slander ?
Probably not, Droit du seigneur again.
The real and evil "teaching moment" here,
is that in the United States in 2011, a sufficiently wealthy and powerful person can get away with anything. Where's the justice ?
I really hope that women's advocates really leverage this as a teachable moment, and educate women about their rights, sexual rights, legal protocols and other issues raised. I'll be writing Letitia James, my own reps and others to that effect. I urge everyone to.
The charges against DSM should not have been dropped. DSM has admitted to a sexual encounter.There is enough credible evidence to indicate that Diallo was a victim of sexual violence. Nothing that Diallo has said contradicts the what she said happened in that hotel room. This has opened up a flood gate of allegations of sexual misconduct by DSK in France. He is a serial sexual predator. Diallo should not be treated as the defendant and DSK is no innocent..She should have her day in court and let the jury determine her veracity.It should not be dropped just because of hearsay and selective leaks by the district attorney`s office. This is why women rarely report sexual crimes and there is no question that Diallo is a victim of class discrimination.
To commenters asking why the accuser's history is admissible in court but the accused's isn't, this is the same in any criminal case as part of the constitutional protections of all defendants. The reason the accuser's history is considered relevant is that consent is an issue in rape cases in a way that it isn't in robbery or battery cases--& if someone in that type of case had a history of apparently lying it might be admissible too.
Amy, exactly. Perhaps there's been habituation of embellishment...This may very well be the case of victim embellishment, but victimization nonetheless (like a whiplash case?)...
It seems that Nafi was first assaulted by dsk, then the media including wnyc , CNN,ny post who spread rumors leaked by prosecutors and defense and framed the whole case in the best llight for the defense. Final assault by weak Cyrus one term vance. Let this case be decided by jury and we can all live with results like Casey Anthony case.
Mosh, I hear you. The scenario that has her AGREEING to this rough encounter in the alleged time period lacks plausibility, probability. I'm curious about how the D.A. reconciled this.
The woman is going to be able to write a book on this; I think. The man has probably lost his high office and a portion of his power. It's not "a wash".
A set-up possible? yes. actual? I have no idea.
What this story needs, I think, is a sister story of someone who successfully prosecuted an unwitnessed, disputed rape and what it took to get to 'guilty'.
If this was mentioned, I missed it: There are many "notarios," often posing as lawyers, who advise immigrants applying for asylum to exaggerate what they've been through to increase their chances of being granted asylum.
The most important thing here is that one should NEVER lie about sexual assault, no matter what is at stake. The notion that it is a victimless crime to lie about a rape to get political asylum is nonsense, even if this woman's lie has thrown a TINY amount of doubt upon the applications of other women who really have been raped and are seeking asylum she is guilty of a moral transgression we don't have name for yet.
Also, did Floyd say that the allegation is of forced oral sex ? No vaginal intercourse? If that is true I have to say it just doesn't make sense, I seriously doubt a man would place his member into the mouth of a woman he violently coerced into sex, I'm not saying that a woman can't be raped that way, just that given those circumstances it is much more likely an act of prostitution.
I've been a women's libber from way back and from the beginning of this case I smelled a rat - mainly I just don't get forcible rape in the form of a BJ - how does he force your teeth to unhinge? Breaking your jaw?
Perhaps it was done for money and he didn't pay or it was a political plot from France. We will never know because probably everybody has been fibbing.
Rooney: anything is possible, I mean I could be participating in this convo from the moon...could I not? I mean she didn't know this guy, it's not like he is George Clooney and why set him up here and not in France?
Is the accuser, who initiates the charge, legitmately held to a higher standard of "credibility"?
I'm surprised how frequently the general public and too many media commentators ignore the principle of Innocent Until Proven Guilty.
So what's the plausible explanation for a consensual sexual encounter between two strangers, an elderly overweight gentleman and an African maid? That they were spontaneously overcome with lust for one another?
A few observations from this case:
-When a woman is going to allege sexual assault- in what is often a he said-she said case which hinges on credibility, don't lie to te police or prosecutors trying to help you!
-Is it fair that the accuser's past history which influences her credibility can be used in proceedings but accusations and past behavior by DSK can't be used?
Becky: I'm not saying nothing happened -- just that it was part of a larger, very sophisticated political set-up. Diallo may or may not have known that she was a pawn for others' political motives. It's definitely possible.
While I, as a woman, understand that it is important - vital - to prosecute ANYONE who in any way sexually harrasses or attacks or abuses women (or anyone else), it is also vital to the prosecution that the victim provide a coherent enough story to prosecute. Unfortunately, going through prosecution and trial means providing victim/witness testimony in addition to forensic evidence. If the victim cannot keep his/her story straight, it is difficult enough to get it to court. If the victim cannot keep his/her story straight in the courtroom, then prosecution will be a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
I don't know the victim here, nor have I heard her story from her own mouth - which is actually the point of trial by jury - but if the prosecution believes that this victim is prevaricating in any way, it means they know from experience that they'll never win in court and the whole thing would be a colossal waste.
To compare this to the Duke lacrosse case is inane--here there is a great deal of physical evidence, at Duke there was none; here the DA bent over backwards to be above-board with the defense, at Duke the DA engaged in criminal behavior to hide the truth. This case should go to trial.
Lying on taxes or on asylum application does not equal lying about a rape. We need to stop poo pooing rape and domestic violence in this country especially because of celebrity of the accused.
yes I agree, there is a deep hypocrisy here and something terribly wrong with our legal system that the accuser's past matters so much that the DA wimps out but Strauss-Kahn's past behavior somehow is not allowed to be taken into account.
Uh..unfair much?
Plus, the idea that if a woman is sexually assaulted she had better be a paragon of virtue in all aspects or her case won't be taken seriously despite the evidence...is quite frankly pretty chilling and disgusting.
ROONEY: Is the presence of semen part of the set up? Faked that too huh?
I'm not surprised that DSK is being let go. When his wife came to the US, it was understood that she was going to inject millions of dollars to his defense. We are seeing what millions of dollars injected into the criminal justice system can do.
Justice or Just Us.
I still cannot believe that NO ONE in the mainstream media is voicing the strong possibility that this was a political set-up. DSK was, after all, on the verge of becoming the next president of France. Does no one else see this as a possibility?!
DA Vance has lost two high profile cases and may have asked for dismissal because he was afraid of losing another
Perhaps Vance is just gun-shy. Those cops who allegedly raped the woman in a blackout were found not guilty. Maybe Vance is just reluctant to bring another rape case to trial.
DSK's past behavior is off limits (he seems to act like a moose in rut most of the time) but the accuser's past behavior is not off limits. Sarcasm alert: What a woman really needs is 2 witnesses not related to her by blood.

With Roses involved, Stanford-Wisconsin won't stink
The prestige of the Rose Bowl outweighs what may seem like a lackluster matchup
It first caught the country's attention by knocking off what was then No.1-ranked USC, then shut down Oregon in late November to thwart the Ducks' ambition of returning to the BCS Championship game. And after downing UCLA in the Pac-12 title game, Stanford is now sitting on a seven-game winning streak.
As for Wisconsin, its losses have been anything but embarrassing, as none of its defeats have come by more than seven points, and just one by more than three.
This will be Stanford's 13th appearance in the Rose Bowl and first since 1999. It is the Badgers' eighth trip to Pasadena, and its third in as many years, which ties a Big Ten record held by Ohio State and Michigan.
The game will be broadcasted on ESPN, with kickoff at 2:10 p.m.

Tourist marketing a must in San Diego?
With sun and Shamu, who needs advertising, EconoMeter panel wonders
Norm Miller, University of San Diego
Answer: YES
Studies on tourism spending have revealed a good return on investment for strategic marketing. Not only do regional businesses benefit but the state and local government benefit from tax revenues in excess of the spending. Mayor Filner was probably not aware of these payoffs when he decided to try and re-channel tourist based marketing revenues. See "Measuring Return on Investment of Tourism Marketing" (Dec. 24, 2010) by Adeel Ahmed that includes the benefits in California from tourist marketing. Each dollar spent resulted in over four dollars of new tax revenues, not to mention increased gross sales for the region.
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
Answer: YES
Hotels and the tourist industry generally support the 2 percent hotel bill surcharge as an effective way to enhance the visibility of our region and to draw in visitors from around the country and abroad. They view this as more efficient than individually marketing the region and their properties. Most companies know that advertising and marketing are critical investments. The methods to most effectively reach potential customers are constantly changing and there is no rigid formula for determining a marketing budget's optimal size. However, San Diego needs to be heard in a marketplace crowded with competitors vying for the traveler's dollar.
Dan Seiver, Reilly Financial Advisors
Answer: NO
It is hard to justify spending taxpayer money on any business-promotion activities which should be funded by the businesses themselves. Some of the burden of the hotel tax does fall on those of us living in San Diego. It would make more economic sense to spend the funds on projects which would enhance the attractiveness of San Diego as a destination for tourists, and as a location for businesses of all types. Improvements in transportation infrastructure (highways, port, airport), Internet connectivity, water and sewer, and education would help on both counts and also benefit all of us in San Diego.

Joe Paterno, Penn State and You
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
Amy Davidson, senior editor at the New Yorker, discusses what the Penn State scandal means for sports fans and takes your calls on how you're reacting to the news.
Guests:Amy Davidson
Comments [23]
I found (from an INCREDIBLY unlikely source) a well composed and well researched blog post that essentially outlines the link between homophobic organizations in which adults have "ultimate authority" over children and pedophilia. I think if more people understood the reality that pedophilia is incur able, dangerous, and facilitated by these organizations, more of them would come under scrutiny. Click here to read it for yourself http://bit.ly/tNvUjh .
A culture of the sex abused
seems to make us more confused.
We often cut off the head of the bunch,
when things come down to the crunch
[or not often enough?].
Hope there stops to be occasion
for this particular
social disease of our nation.
The focus should be on how to live
on the planes of attention
that we need to give.
It is extremely concerning that young men will put sports allegiance before the safety of the younger members of their community. To say that there are others equally responsible as an argument *not* to fire a man who apparently admits his responsibility, rather than arguing for a more thorough purge of those others who were also *criminally* negligent in this case, is a confused and tragic stand to take. If the professional "players" in this awful story had been doctors and nurses in a hospital do you think you would find such sympathy at any level of the community? It is a strange world. I do not know if the teaching profession is mandated to take a regular course on sexual abuse to reinforce their moral and legal responsibilities (like health care professionals are) but if not, I think it is time to institute it. It sounds as though it wouldn't hurt to make certain college students take this course also.
I agree that the Penn scandal is like that of the Catholic church. The Pope and every bishop, etc. guilty of covering up should also resign. Fresh air needs to flow into both institutions. Both should have zero tolerance for child abuse. How can anyone either see or know of a grown man raping children and not do anything about it? My father, who would have been about Paterno's age now, would have dragged Sandusky to the police station himself and personally cared for those kids. That's the difference between a good man and Joe Paterno.
Segui, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I hope you'll get to the point where you're able to report it. If it's a question of notifying people in another country, maybe you could go through its embassy/consulate in this country or the US embassy over there? Or find out if there's an organization in the other country that helps people who've been through what you have?
As a victim of sex abuse in a very similar situation I have always felt that is ironic that outraged citizens are so sure they know what they would do if they knew of a crime of this nature been committed. The fact is that statistics don't support this conviction since a huge percentage of abuse cases go unreported even by the victims and relative of the victims themselves. I am not condoning the participation of Paterno on the commission of this crime, and I believe he should take responsibility for allowing this to continue...But we will need to analyze what in human nature or what cultural misgiving contributes to this trend son that we can improve reporting numbers and prevent sex offenders from victimizing people, unpunished, for years. I informed my parents of my abuse, they believed my abuser first. Some years later, once it was clear that I was telling the truth, they still did not report it...The person was of "untouchable" reputation and believed to be a pillar of the community, as in this case. This happen 23 years ago and I am troubled since I have not reported it myself since I became an adult...my trepidation is the wellbeing for his children...I think about this everyday, and I am yet to find out what prevents me from doing something. I assure you my parents could have sounded as outraged as anyone on this board, don't speak until you do so from experience. If you have been in a similar situation, I would welcome any advise on how to report or inform my community in another country about this predator...If you are taking out out of rage save your comments
Becky, There is no change on my part: "hearsay", "2nd hand charge" - I will look up the semantics but my point is the same. I think we both agree it is an avoidable tragedy.
If the custodian had done the EXACT same thing he'd be sitting in jail.
Why is there ANY kind of debate on this??
Because is such a great sports "hero"??
Are you KIDDING me!?!?
Sheldon, that is a different comment from your first, where you said it was "hearsay". Glad to know you ultimately agree that he should have done more.
Becky, you can line up and take your 2 pounds of flesh, along with everyone else.
If I personally see someone raping a anyone, much less a child. I will immediately report it to the police.
If I am an administrator and I got wind of such a charge. I will immediately report it to the police. Both parties did neither.
Joe Paterno, as currently known, reported a 2nd hand charge to his administrators. Whether he probably "coulda, woulda, shoulda" do more, is always 20/20.
It was absolutely Paterno's responsiblity -- as the leader of an organization and a moral, law abiding citizen -- to put a stop to the rape of children that he was aware of. ANYONE who knew this was going on also had this responsibility.
I also think the fact that the victims were "underprivileged" was operative in this shameful turn of events.
Unfortunately this kind of cowardly, short-sighted abdication of our responsibility as citizens and human beings with consciences is all too common. It has got to stop.
40 years ago I was a boy living in State College. My mom worked at Penn State in the financial aid office. Joe Paterno organized a Christmas Party for kids and invited the children of Penn State staff to come. My brother and I went.
At the party there was so much cake and cookies. We had as much as we wanted and so I got sugar-sick. We watched football movies and everyone got a medal.
Last month I was talking with my mom and we talked about this event. Forty years after the event it is still a stellar event in my life.
We went had season tickets to see football games. I went; never really into football.
But I remember the generosity of Joe Paterno. I will always be greatful. Joe Paterno is a great man. Bigger than this scandal. I trust Joe Paterno.
Joe is an average coach and always has been; I'm glad he's going down in flames. As a Florida and Miami sports fan, I've always heard from everyone about how we only play convicts, I prefer to say less fortunate young men that didn't have a silver spoon. Regardless, steeling a car stereo is one thing, turning your back on eight children is unforgivable.
The janitors are real monsters for not reporting what they saw. They only testified at the grand jury when it was too late. Fear of losing your job does not justify this
There is NO excuse, here!!
"He was such a great football guy and did so many nice things"???
He's an accomplice to pedophilia!
Sheldon, are you insane?? There is a kid somewhere who has had his life ruined!! He should be castrated and thrown into jail with the general population for life!
Why are we talking about Paterno's legacy??? ughh I might have to turn this off!
I think Graham Spanier, Joe Paterno, Mike McQueary, Gary Schultz, Tim Curley, Wendell Courtney and Thomas Harmon should ALL be prosecuted for a criminal conspiracy to hide ongoing sexual abuse of minors.
And they should all be fired by Penn State's Board of Trustees.
I agree with Maureen Dowd - the parallels with the Catholic church are haunting. The Penn State officials believed their own press and did not draw the straight line between good and evil. They did not do the right thing. Amy Davidson hit the nail on the head. Sad, very, very sad for those children.
I have a friend who played football for Paterno and, like Rick Pitino at Kentucky and Rollie Massimino at Villanova, these coaches are revered and often great examples to all of us but the ego often interferes with sound judgement.
Didn't Joe Paturno follow protocol? He was made aware of a charge; as shocking as it was, it was still hearsay. He promptly reported it to the directors. You either blame the guy who actually "saw" the act, or the administrators who did NOTHING.
This is disgusting. Nauseating!
Priests, sports "heros" - NO ONE SI IMMUNE!!
Paterno is GUILTY!
Another fine example of "sports hubris".
Sen 'em to JAIL!
"wish that he could have done more" - he could have told the proper authorities, more than once if needed...this makes me sick to my stomach!

Some candidates will simply say, "I'm running to be the next Mark Green." Not a bad strategy, considering the current public advocate is the apparent front-runner in the race for mayor.
But things weren't always so good for Green. In 1998, Mayor Giuliani, a political foe, convened a charter commission in part to try and eliminate his office. Other detractors have dismissed the office as ambiguous and even superfluous. A May 1998 Daily News editorial read, "Dump the public advocate: This useless post should have been killed during the last Charter revision."
Giuliani, however, lost and, in his defeat, proved the public advocate's utility better than Green could. (Only months later, expecting to see out a run for the Senate and resign his post, he threatened another attack, this time to take the public advocate out of first place in the line of mayoral succession. This year's candidates prefer to evade the controversial question of succession, each only claiming to be qualified to take the helm if necessary.)
During the 1998 charter commission's public hearings, it became apparent that what critics attacked as the office's weakness seemed in fact to be a strength: its lack of specificity, or, put another way, its broad scope. The mission is to ensure the delivery of government services to the people, but the means and priorities are open to interpretation. Depending on the officeholder, the public advocate can claim a great deal of responsibility for the well-being of New Yorkers.
With the primary less than a month away, the Voice sat down with the five major candidates for public advocateDemocrats Stephen DiBrienza, Kathryn Freed, Betsy Gotbaum, Norman Siegel, and Scott Stringerto hear their visions for this young, malleable office. (Although there are six others, these five alone have demonstrated the funding and organization necessary to run citywide.) A runoff is likely, with no obvious standouts among them. But the competitors offer significant differences in style, experience, plans, and philosophy.
STEPHEN DIBRIENZA (www.dibrienza2001.com)
In his four terms in the City Council, Stephen DiBrienza, 46, hasn't made a lot of fancy friends. Nor has the rep for Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and other parts of Brooklyn managed to become much of a political insider. Rather, as chair of the City Council's general welfare committee and before, he's advocated vociferously on behalf of those constituencies least likely to grace his campaign with money or prestige.
He pushed through legislation to provide meaningful transitional jobs and safety protections to workfare participants. He was a leading critic of city services to homeless families and people with AIDS, legislating to mandate improvements. He has actively advocated for domestic violence survivors and helped expose serious problems with the child welfare agency, contributing to its reform.
Under this mayor, though, bread-and-butter efforts have sometimes made for municipal drama. DiBrienza's welfare committee hearings have been called "contentious" and "raucous," his oration "hysterical." His irreverent grilling of commissioners has, to the delight of reporters, prompted them on occasion to walk out. Following a dispute over homeless policy, Giuliani once threatened to evict a community services center in DiBrienza's district. The mayor failed, only succeeding in getting the councilman's name all over the news.
But Giuliani can't run this time around, because of the same term-limits law that is keeping DiBrienza out of the council. Perhaps the absence of an enemy is why the councilman makes an uncharacteristically subdued case for public advocate.
He proposes no radical reforms or innovations, but says that he will "go behind the complaints and look for the systemic patterns and find the systemic changes that we need." He sees the public advocate playing a larger role as ex-officio member of City Council committees. During Green's tenure the council was made up largely of veterans, but term limits will cause two-thirds of the seats, including the powerful speakership, to turn over. It's a perfect climate, DiBrienza says, for an experienced former member like himself to propose legislation, call hearings, and even influence budget negotiations.
While all the other candidates live in Manhattan, DiBrienza believes that his Brooklyn background gives him real concern for the office's effect in the other boroughs. Indeed, he got his political start fighting the city establishment's reluctance to promote the "revitalization" of the Carroll Gardens and Park Slope areas.
Decades later, those neighborhoods are brimming with new, moneyed residents and tony businesses, and DiBrienza takes a great deal of the credit. But the shift is edging out some of the very New Yorkers he defends on his welfare committee. In fact, a Park Slope organization DiBrienza says he helped found 20 years ago to promote community improvement now fights to protect low-income residents from what that improvement has wrought. It remains to be seen whether DiBrienza's energetic advocacy can keep up with the times.

Video: Jamal Crawford crosses over Ray Allen
Nov 15, 2012, 8:45 AM EDT
Jamal Crawford has one of the best crossovers in the Association. Ray Allen has bad ankles and isn't exactly a defensive force.
So you can pretty much guess how this went.
Crawford has been the leading scorer for the Clippers this season and was again on Wednesday, scoring 22 on just 11 shots. He has freedom to shoot and create in Vinny Del Negro's offense and he's taking advantage of it. And he's just abusing guys. Like Allen.
Oh, and by the way the Clippers crushed the Heat. The Clips are for real.

Brazil's bold infrastructure push has been heralded as a game changer. Investors, however, may balk at low yields and risks that remain hard to evaluate
But the market may prove less attractive to foreign
investors than the hype would suggest.
Law 12,431, which finally passed in an amended version as
law 12,715 on September 17, was greeted with enthusiasm. It
provides tax breaks to investors when they invest in debentures
with tenors over four years.
The amendments are well written and addressed the doubts of
investors over liabilities for non-compliance with government
