The fact that analysts can't agree on the direction our economy is heading is a sure sign that speculation and trend-spotting are essentially debatable tools used to measure our markets. While one area of the country may be prospering, another can be suffering deeply. (Missed last week's update? Read Water Cooler Finance: A Diving Dow And Rotting Eggs.)

Double-Down on a Double-Dip?
Growth in our economy slowed to a crawl in the second quarter, as was stated in a report released by the U.S. government. According to the country's gross domestic product (GDP), the growth rate settled lower than initially projected, at 1.6%, as opposed to 2.4%. Naturally, this has re-spawned talk of a double-dip recession in the near future. Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at Cal State University Channel Islands, told CNN.com that the threat of a double-dip has now risen from 25% to 40% since January. Of course, this could also be nothing more than a slow-down in recovery that will pick up again in the fall - a trend that has been observed for quite some time over the years.
Fears of a double-dip recession began growing when the economic recovery began in the third-quarter of 2009, but analysts in some areas - like Orange County, California, claim that a double-dip recession is "unlikely". Good news for plastic surgeons and manufacturers of hair gel.
However, much to the surprise of economic observers, initial jobless claims fell from 504,000 to 473,000 for the week ending on Aug. 21, 2010. Originally, analysts had projected a decrease in initial jobless claims to 485,000. This is being taken as a positive sign by many that a double-dip recession will not occur. (Though a double-dip recession is possible, if all bricks fall into place, it's not likely. Learn more in Dangers Of A Double Dip Recession.)
Fine the Friendly Skies
American Airlines could be hit with the largest fine ever by Federal aviation regulators. The second-largest airline in the world is being criticized on safety violations that may end up costing the company $24.2 million in civil penalties.
In 2008, FAA inspectors noted that two of American Airlines' MD-80 airliners were not properly inspected. Specifically, that the airline failed to properly examine the wire bundles that can be found in the wheel wells of said MD-80 planes. As a result, the FAA grounded hundreds of American Airlines flights. The company stands by its claim that there were no oversights in flight safety, and will challenge the civil penalty.
The previous holder of the crown for "highest fine" was Southwest Airlines. Also occurring in 2008, Southwest voluntarily grounded 44 of its planes on accusations that nearly 60,000 flights had taken off without proper inspections, according to regulations. Initially, the company was fined $10.2 million, but that number was negotiated down to $7.5 million. (These big-name airlines are no more. Find out what happened in Dead Airlines And What Killed Them.)
The U.S. Census Bureau reported recently that the size of the traditional American home is shrinking. This comes after the explosion of the McMansion trend of the 1990s where quickly-built and oversized homes were in high demand. The report claims that the median home size is now 2,135 square feet, down from 2,300 square feet just a few years ago.
But it's not just the size of the house that is being reduced. The higher-end amenities within the home are also decreasing. Luxury items like in-ground pools, media rooms and jetted tubs are also on the decline, as home shoppers are looking for more practical amenities.
Home builders and real estate agents are taking note, and offering smaller model homes at reduced prices. This will obviously affect resale prices in a few years, when those homes are back on the market. (Learn more about the supersized homes in McMansion: A Closer Look At The Big House Trend.)
The Bottom Line
All other indicators aside, optimists are considering the recession "over," as has been suggested on financial websites and papers in many parts of the country. But keep an eye on trends in the housing and employment markets, for they are two areas that are both easy to follow and directly connected to citizens' budgets.

The Ghost Writer
Vintage Books, 1979 - Fiction - 179 pages
The Ghost Writer introduces Nathan Zuckerman in the 1950s, a budding writer infatuated with the Great Books, discovering the contradictory claims of literature and experience while an overnight guest in the secluded New England farmhouse of his idol, E. I. Lonoff.
At Lonoff's, Zuckerman meets Amy Bellette, a haunting young woman of indeterminate foreign background who turns out to be a former student of Lonoff's and who may also have been his mistress. Zuckerman, with his active, youthful imagination, wonders if she could be the paradigmatic victim of Nazi persecution. If she were, it might change his life.
The first volume of the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound, The Ghost Writer is about the tensions between literature and life, artistic truthfulness and conventional decency—and about those implacable practitioners who live with the consequences of sacrificing one for the other.

Learn how to play the song You and Your Heart by Jack Johnson with this free acoustic guitar lesson. This song is off of Jack's fifth studio album "To the Sea", which was released in May of 2010. "You and Your Heart" was released on the radio prior to the album release in April of 2010. You can learn more about this song over at Wikipedia.
I have seen a number of different versions of this song and to be honest I am not positive as to which one is accurate. I can say that Marty's version below is geared toward beginners and sounds pretty close to the original. When you break this song down and digest one section at a time, its actually fairly easy to play. Marty Schwartz, the instructor in the video lesson below, will break everything down step by step, including the strumming pattern and chords.
The chords you will need to know for this particular version of the song are: A Major, G Major, D Major and E Major.
Here is the strumming pattern (Where D=Down and U=UP) DDD DU UD DD

He's got the tux and he's working on the jokes. The only thing not under control is his nerves.
Late Night host Seth Meyers chatted with PEOPLE about his upcoming pressure-packed hosting gig at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Aug. 25.
Are you freaking out?
I'm a nerve junkie. I keep doing things that are nerve-inducing. When I did the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the ESPYs, it was a little less stressful because I was the entertainer in a room not full of entertainers. With the Emmys, every face you see are people that have entertained you over the years. I hope I can at least repay the favor for the 15 minutes I'm up there.
Is your tux all picked out?
Yes! It's funny, since I began hosting Late Night I've gained a better sense of style. I'm not going to lie, we might have a costume change in there. There's a lot of ways this can go down.
Now that you're in the fashion game, who do you predict will be best dressed?
Good question. It's very hard to think that Kerry Washington's not going to be at the top of this year's best-dressed list. Just like a young America, I'm going to bet on Washington.
Do you still get starstruck?
I'm not beyond getting starstruck. I've never met George Clooney or Angelina Jolie. Of course, I'd just pretend like they should be thrilled to meet me, but on the inside, I'd be starstruck.

Road Construction Projects
Updates on current roadway and related projects and major street closures in Chandler
October 2015
Important Links:
Annual Mill & Inlay Street Repaving: The rehabilitation of 51 lane miles of Chandler streets began in April as part of an annual street repaving program. The repairs will occur along 136 sections of residential streets and be performed by M. R. Tanner Construction, Inc. of Gilbert. The $5.2 million repaving project will continue through early October and involve removing the top inch-and-a-half of old asphalt and replacing it with new pavement. This type of repair, called Mill and Inlay, becomes necessary when the existing pavement is in such condition that the street can no longer be maintained with slurry seal or micro seal applications. Notices to homeowners and businesses fronting the streets will be provided in advance of the work. Access will be maintained to residences and businesses during the construction. For more information, contact the Chandler Street Division at 480-782-3500
Annual Street Sealing program: 100 miles of City streets are being resurfaced as part of an annual slurry seal project. Southwest Slurry Seal, Inc. is performing the work which began May 4 and will conclude in September. Slurry seal is an asphalt emulsion mixed with aggregate. It is approx 3/8" thick and provides a new riding surface lasting up to five years. Advance notice in the form of door hangers will be distributed to homes and businesses along streets to be sealed. The notice will ask that cars not be parked along the street so that sealant can be applied unobstructed. For more information, call the City's Streets Division at 480-782-3500.
Alma School Road Traffic Restrictions: Major lane restrictions will be in place along Alma School Road between the Loop 202 Santan Freeway and Germann Road beginning Monday, Sept. 21, through Saturday, Oct. 10. The installation of a reclaimed water line in Alma School Road will require all traffic on Alma School to be shifted into the southbound lanes. A single northbound and southbound lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction. Motorists are encouraged to use Pecos Road or Arizona Avenue to access the Santan Freeway. Traffic restrictions will be lifted on Sundays to accommodate traffic associated with two large churches located along this section of Alma School Road. In addition, traffic signal timing adjustments will be made and police officers will on-site to assist with traffic control. More information, call Dara Griffith at 480-782-3314 or Paul Young at 480-782-3146.
Alma School/Chandler Blvd Improvement Project: The City is planning to improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection by adding dual left turn lanes, dedicated right turn lanes, and an auxiliary through lane in each direction. The project would also include new storm drains, curb, gutter, sidewalks, signals and landscaping. Construction is planned for early 2017 and more than 80 percent of the construction cost will be funded by a $5.5 million Highway Safety Improvement Program grant from the Federal Highway Administration. The Alma School/Chandler Boulevard intersection handles approximately 61,000 vehicles per day and had the fourth highest collision rate in the City in 2012. A 'before and after' crash analysis of seven similar intersection improvement projects in Chandler showed accidents decreased an average of 35 percent. For more information about the project, contact Hafiz Noor at 480-782-3324.
Gilbert Road Improvements (Queen Creek Rd to Hunt Hwy):
The City is widening Gilbert Road between Queen Creek Road and Hunt Highway through a series of phased projects. The roadway has been widened to six lanes between Queen Creek and Ocotillo roads and will transition to four lanes between Ocotillo Road and Hunt Highway. The projects include the construction of landscaped medians, bike lanes, curb, gutter, sidewalks, right and left turn lanes, bus pullouts, and extensive water, reclaimed water, and sewer work. Improvements from Queen Creek Road to just south of Chandler Heights Road have been completed. Construction on the next phase of improvements from south of Chandler Heights Road to Hunt Highway began in September, 2014. Work is to be completed by mid-July 2015. We thank you for your continued patience during this construction. Regular e-updates are provided during construction. To be added to our distribution or for questions or comments, please contact our project hotline at 480-898-4100, or visit www.gilbertroadimprovements.com.

Aziz and her dignity (a Boing Boing guest-dispatch from Pakistan)
Ashi stands by the door of the shared house where she lives with Aziz and Nighat. (Photo: Bassam Tariq.)
Last week, my uncle took me to meet one of his old neighborhood's infamous icons, Aziz Mamoo. She lives in a small one bedroom shack located in the heart of a very disturbed ghetto. Aziz Mamoo is transgendered or, as they're known in South Asia, a hijrah. At the age of 11, she was kicked out of her house by her brothers and found refuge with the local hijrah guru, Hajji Iqbal. Iqbal took her in and taught the young Aziz how to sing and dance. Every town in Karachi has a designated guru who is in charge of the hijrahs in their area. The guru becomes both the mother and father to their communities hijrahs. The local guru feeds them, provides them shelter, and teaches them how to pray and live a modest life. When there is a birth of a child that is considered intersex, some families leave the infant at the guru's doorstep. After the death of Hajji Iqbal, Aziz Mamoo became the local guru of her neighborhood. Countless babies have been left at her doorstep and though she has very little to offer, she never turns them away. The two kids that live with her now are Ashi and Nighat. Many more lived with her before, but she kicked them out after they started doing, as she calls it, "number two work." 'Number two work' is a euphemism for prostitution and it's become a common job for many hijrahs in Karachi.
According to Aziz Mamoo, there are two kinds of hijrahs: those that dance and pray at weddings and aqiqahs (a celebration commemorating the birth of a child), and those that prostitute or beg for money on the main roads. Aziz Mamoo despises the latter.
"Woh bhanchots!" Those sister-fuckers, she curses, "they give us a bad name. We don't beg on the streets. We may not have much, but we do have our dignity."
Aziz Mamoo, center, sits on her charpoi with her two daughters, Ashi, left, and Nighat. (Photo: Bassam Tariq.)
My uncle grew up in Karachi and has had a lot of friends that frequent the prostitute hijrahs. He mentions that many men dress up as hijrahs just to be accepted as homosexuals. As he puts it, his friends rave about the fellatio these hijrahs give. There is a grey area when it comes to the street hijrahs, they are either transvestites or transgendered, but there really is no way of knowing from the surface. My uncle was keen on asking Aziz about her own sexual desires.
She was quick to reply, "We cannot bare a child nor do we have the ability to impregnate. We just desire two things: good clothing and decent food. With what we do, we make enough to live."
Aziz Mamoo started to feel a little uneasy and kept looking over at her clock. I wondered if we were overstaying our welcome, nevertheless, I was compelled to ask another question.
"If I have a child that's transgendered, would you recommend me bringing them to you? Or do you feel I should keep the child and raise them?"
It's important to note that in the middle of asking this question, Aziz interrupted me and muttered,
"God forbid that you have a transgendered child." After she let me finish my question she continued, "Keep them. take care of them, educate them. Don't let them stray into our line. We are uneducated. We scour our neighborhoods day and night looking for someone that will hear us sing and dance. This is no way for anyone to live."
Minutes later, my uncle signaled to me that it was time for us to leave. After we said our good byes, I asked Aziz Mamoo what she was doing for the rest of the day.
"It is Sunday," she said, "today is for us."
(Edit: Changed transgendered to intersex in first paragraph. Thanks, AnneH)

When there is a birth of a child that is transgendered, some families leave the infant at the guru's doorstep
Do you mean, when there is the birth of a child who is intersexed? Gender identity forms later in life and I believe it's impossible for an infant to have a self-perceived gender.
This confused me, because not all intersexed people are transgender, and not all transgenders are intersexed.
That confused me as well. How do they determine if an infant is transgendered? Is it genitalia that are not normal?
I understand 'transgender' as feeling very strongly that someone was born into the wrong gender body. How do they know infants feel that way?
Hi Anne. Thanks for reading the article. In response to your first comment, a hijrah can be either intersex or transgender. There are different classifications within hijrahs. I broke down the differences in a reply to Rob Myers. Since Aziz Mamoo is considered a Kusra, she also then falls more into the category of transgender than intersex.
To answer your second question, from what I am told some infants can be identified as a khadra (both with male and female genitalia). Those are the ones, I'm guessing, are left at the doorstep.
Thanks for the reply, Bassam.
Reading about this topic, here and elsewhere, I am upset that we humans are not civilized enough to simply accept people as they are.
PZ Myers wrote a sarcastic response to the idea of giving a dangerous steroidal medication to pregnant women so their daughters would not be too masculine.
I really can't tell which approach is more barbaric. Both view being outside the binary gender norms as a disease or defect. At least Pakistan allows them a marginal place in society.
Many parts of the world do not make a distinction between trans and intersex. That's mostly an invention of a defunct US-based separatist group called ISNA. They have gone out of business and have been supplanted by OII, a group with a more nuanced view of the interplay of sex anatomy and gender identity.
Hijra culture is really not that much different than the drag mother/house system we have in the US among poor urban trans people. Trans people are frequently relegated to entertainment and sex work, though in some cultures we are seen as kind of supernatural.
Hijra activists in Pakistan successfully lobbied to be recognized by the government as a third gender this year. Islam is sometimes OK with trans people because the Qur'an (42:49-50) says Allah sometimes mingles male and female (makes them from both). There is still wide discrimination, so many hijras make a living performing at weddings (considered good luck) and through begging and survival sex.
Thanks for the clarification, Andrea. When you said "That's mostly an invention of a defunct US-based separatist group called ISNA," did you mean "the difference between trans and intersex is mostly and invention of ISNA"?
If so, that surprises me, because I know many trans people who are not intersex and a couple intersex folks who aren't trans, which indicates to me that there is, and should be a distinction between the two terms.
Some trans people believe that "intersex" sounds more socially acceptable, so they claim or self-diagnose as intersex without independent confirmation. This is problematic for a lot of reasons, especially to people with diagnosed intersex characteristics, who sometimes see this as appropriation of their identities.
ISNA was dedicated to asserting that there was a clear distinction between trans and intersex people. ISNA was also fixated on its founder's assertion that issues of cosmesis and phenotype were just the same as issues of function and genotype, mainly because the founder says she endured unconsented neonate surgery for an "oversized" clitoris (see Maggie's post today). The separatist notion didn't hold, though, as many trans people have intersex traits and vice versa.
There is increasing evidence that gender identity and expression has a genetic component (replications at certain gene loci), so much depends on how you define "intersex." Other cultures and traditions aren't so hung up on medicalizing and pathologizing difference, so people who don't fit into a neat sexual or social binary are all considered part of the same group, as we see in southeast Asia.
But there IS a difference between a baby born with ambiguous genitalia and a person whose gender identity doesn't match hir physical sex. The fact that these categories can overlap doesn't mean they should be treated as the same.
For one thing, the child born with the ambiguous genitalia is more likely to be left on the doorstep of the hijrah house.
Thanks, that's a very clear explanation that makes perfect sense. Much appreciated!
The line between the 2 is somewhat ill defined as it seems that more and more, transsexualism does have biological underpinnings (instead of being
purely psychological, as was thought by some in the past)
Our knowledge of the brain is still pretty minimal and as a result, it's easier to isolate conditions such as chromosomal abnormalities and designate them as "intersex" and declare "brain stuff" to be transsexualism.
There has been a bit of drama between the two groups, stupid, really.
@8 that's right.
Trans and IS people are more or less accepted by Islam, although it really depends on the local authority figure. Iran actually pays for bottom surgery and has a surgical program, but other parts of Islam are far from tolerant.
As an example, in Indeonesia and other parts of SE Asia, clerics are actively attempting to erase any trace of the waria (their name for gender variant people) culture (or whatever traditional name they had in local culture)
Interesting that the masculine title is used, the feminine is Hajja.
Would you please do me the favor of linking to whatever more nuanced distinction you are referring to? My google-fu is weak, apparently.
I haven't really heard of this, and shared RevelryByNight's surprise, because… I also know many trans people who are not intersex, and a few intersex people who prefer a distinction between the two terms.
I'm happy to be educated.
You are correct. I made a mistake and need to change it from transgender to intersex. Thanks for pointing that out.
If I understand correctly, both intersex and transgender people can be hijrah. It's a category unto itself not exactly parallel to anything in the US.
So if they're talking about a hijrah infant too young to be identified as transgender, they're probably physically intersex.
Thank you Bassam. I had no idea this existed at all, much less that there were traditions about hijrahs performing at weddings.
I do think there's some confusion between intersexed and transgendered in this article. I understand that both can be hijrah though.
Hmm, looks like it's easy to confuse this term with the Prophet's (pbuh) flight from Mecca to Medina; in fact they're related, sharing an Arabic root 'hjr' ("leave one's tribe").
Sounds like they have a position similar to berdaches in some Native American societies.
The "R" sound is different in this case… the "R" is not pronounced as an "R", making it a totally different word.
One term is Arabic (the one about Mohamed migrating to Medina) while this one is an Urdu word, totally unrelated.
Arabic has less sounds than Urdu.
My source said the word was borrowed into Urdu from Arabic.
No, it IS an Arabic word, and as described above by another commenter, it has the Arabic root of 'hjr'. Most words with this root will indicate some sort of travel or leave-taking. The sounds are NOT completely different.
The "R" sound IS different since it's not pronounced as an English "R". I'm afraid I ought to know, since I'm an Urdu speaker.
Congratulations on knowing Urdu. As someone who speaks Arabic and Urdu, I can promise you that a difference in pronunciation does not indicate that the word isn't borrowed from another language. There are plenty of words in English that are borrowed from French that are pronounced differently betweent he two languages – it doesn't mean that the borrowing didn't occur.
please refrain from the use of berdaches as it is a very unpolite term from the perspective of those of us who are Native American. We currently use the word "Two Spirits". Berdaches came from the Europeans that despised us.
Sorry. I didn't know. I guess Wikipedia says the term is considered "inappropriate," so I ought to have known.
My apologies.
the local hijrah guru, Hajji Iqbal.
I believe Hajji is a title, meaning "one who has made a proper pilgrimage to Mecca"?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm one of the commenters who is curios about the precise taxonomy of the term "hijrahs". I know this is fail on my part. People can call themselves wtf they want and that's their identity. I'm still curious though…
The place for outsiders in ritual is something I think most societies have. Look at popular entertainment in open societies…
Hijrah can (and does) encompass male-bodied people who are impotent, transwomen, and some intersex people. It's not equivalent to any of those terms in English. Those with male genitals castrate themselves to become more female. It's sort of a catch-all term for those who don't fit existing gender identities, but has religious and social connotations that don't exist outside of hijrahs.
Thanks for the comment Rob.
To be quiet honest, the term hijrah itself isn't the most apt description of even how Aziz Mamoo identifies herself. As she explains it, there are three types of hijrahs: khawaja sara, kadhra, and kusra. My urdu isn't that great, so my notes on the differences are sparse.Here is what I have though:
(this is just how aziz mamoo explained the differences, there's nothing medical about it)
Khawaja Sara – One who has a small penis that can only be used for urinating. Khawaja Sara's tend to be more masculine. In fact, I know of one who works as a man in the day at a mobile store and then works the streets of Zamzama (an affluent commercial district in Karachi) as a woman.
Kusra – One who has a vagina and is more woman-like. As Aziz Mamoo explains it, "there is a bone in the vagina that blocks anything from entering." Aziz Mamoo also identifies herself as a kusra.
Kadhra – One who has both male and female genitalia. This is what most people in Pakistan think of when they think of a hijrah.
Aziz is considered a Kusra.
There is a wonderful photo essay at the CaxiaForum in Madrid by Marta Ramoneda on Khusras, which I'm led to believe is also a term for the transgendered community in Pakistan (someone please clarify if I'm wrong). It was part of a larger photojournalism competition, and though it didn't win, it is very powerful and interesting. Ramoneda's website shows some of the awesome pictures. This was a wonderful article, but it tied in very closely with that exhibition I saw at Caixa Forum.
While I am glad that there seems to at least be an acknowledged cultural niche for trans-sex/trans-gender people in this culture (something we don't really have for kids who are born that way in the US) it makes me sad that there are so few economic options for this community. Is there any movement to help these people find other ways to support themselves via micro credit or something like that?
I don't know much about the programs that are around to help them. Will look into it.
At one time, Hijrahs were better integrated in Pakistani society. They also held public performances regularly on Thursdays at certain saints' shrines. But because of the violence and extremism that's enveloping the country, a lot of them are laying low these days.
More hijra, this time in Mumbai.
this blog is fantastic. thanks a lot for sharing it.
Thanks so much for posting this, Bassam! There's so little chance to hear actual Pakistani hijra voices in the US (where I am).
On the Indian hijra tip (and re: the empowerment of hijras @zootboing), I recommend having a look at hijra parliamentarian Shabnam Mausi's wiki
(and the astounding Bollywood movie made of her life that basically gives her superpowers. It's a wow.)
Andrea, and others, thank you for your very thoughtful and informed comments here.
Bassam, man, thanks again for sending this dispatch to us from the P-K. Be safe over there and good luck on the documentary project. I hope you'll send us more posts, I know so little about the country and it's fascinating to see it through the eyes of someone who is of the culture, and not an outsider as most of us here would be.
I'm ambivalent on hijras. I'm totally sympathetic to their plight and I wish that they didn't have to resort to organized crime (yes, that's what it is) to make a living.
But based on my personal encounters with them, I found them scary and purposefully intimidating, even violent. Extortionists. The supposedly good kind, not the "behen-chods."
I guess in the end they're making society pay (literally) for its own intolerance, and the "punishment" is pretty evenly distributed. But I can't really agree to a portrayal of them as completely innocent.
nice post tariq. simple and true.
Living in Karachi, I totally agree with Invisibelle's sentiments.
There people behave like gangs and have "beats" carving out commercial areas to operate in.
To most of us, they are pests.
Very true to life reporting.
Being a citizen of Pakistan (living in Rawalpindi city), I see some of these transgenders on the roads on weekly basis.
Although, like mentioned in the article, there is some percentage of these, who are actually just men dressed a transgendered just to beg on the roads. Have heard of a male impersonating as a transgender in the neighbourhood, so this is like 1st hand informaiton :p
These guys (or girls) face a pretty tough time in this culture though.
I know I'm late to the party, but… it should be "bear a child" rather than "bare a child". (Unless they do mean remove it's clothes, of course.)
The thing people don't consider about Bangladesh or any other place for that matter, is the tight restrictions on gender roles. People who want to perform or express genderized attributes which don't match their perceived biological sex receive even more flack than people whose behavior matches their perceived biological sex.
As a female, I can look at my own life and see the truth in that. I receive negative attention and consequences every time I want to express "too many" masculine qualities but I get positive attention every time I act more feminine. And the desire to battle gender stereotypes for the rest of my life was drained out of me before I was five or six years old. I could tell the pressure would never let up, so I just gave up and became more girly than I would have been otherwise.
It's like people have this need to fit everybody else into a box and it makes them very uncomfortable when they don't know what box to put you in or you won't stay in that box. Those genderized expectations are changing, but very slowly. And you know, if boys were allowed to be as feminine as they wanted without any criticism or pressure, then they would have no need to transition.
I am so hiring them.

Not only is Dr. Fouser an expert in her field, she is wonderfully caring and personal. I'm sure the only reason I had to wait a bit in the waiting room is because she was doing a thorough and personal job seeing her patients before us. She takes the time to see the patient as a whole person. She wants to know what else is going on in their lives because some of it might affect their diagnosis or treatment. I recommend Dr. Fouser whole-heartedly. Lot's of people rate doctors when they are unhappy. It takes a little extra effort to rate them when they are happy with with their experience. I am taking the time to give great feedback because she is terrific!

It is full-on yummy! I've been trying to settle on words to describe it, but keep coming back to "beefier" and with a very slight sweetness to it. The downside is that due to it's low fat content, it is a bit more challenging to cook properly. Very quick or slow methods dramatically reduce the risk of ending up with a hockey puck!

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Deep Space Nine
TheGodBen is right about
The Search, part 1
feeling a bit pedestrian. A lot of new things were introduced, but this episode is solid and ultimately is just the link in the chain between
The Jem'Hadar
The Search, part 2
. Ultimately this episode will always be for infilling the plot, and it does it well, but episodes like these are nearly always good but nothing really special.
My only real gripe is what the f*** they did with Jadzia's hair, it detracts from her beauty, and was attempt at flare that miserably failed.
Regarding the Romulans they always seemed to be in the background in this series, but then I like it this way. They play their part in developing the whole story, unlike in TNG where we saw standoff after lame standoff which did not really amount to anything (and this is why the episodic format fails because writers have to wrap to many things up when they should have explored the plot more thoroughly). DS9 did roughly show the Romulan's agenda, first it was trying to cripple the Dominion with one blow, that it was an uneasy peace, and then finally all-out war (thanks to Sisko and Garak).
The Romulans remained in the background because the Jem'Hadar/Vorta/Founders, Klingons, Cardassians and various Federation races were the ones that a) really drove the plot and b) comprised most of the main and secondary characters.
I also felt Odo travelling on the Defiant was a little to convenient, very TNGish having main character(s) come along simply for the sake of it (and some lame reason for them being there), but it was for the plot's sake so I can overlook it. I also like the Defiant's sets simply because they were made to be bland and if you take TNG's sets (with the Enterprise) they looked rather bland as well. In fact the Defiant's sets were better because of the lighting and darker colours.

Ercis, Turkey - A small baby was rescued alive from the rubble Tuesday in eastern Turkey, two days after a devastating earthquake toppled buildings in the region.
Tiny Azra Karaduman was carried by rescuers to a vehicle that took her to the hospital. They were holding a mask over her mouth to help give her oxygen.
Later, rescuers pulled the girl's mother alive from the rubble as well.
They then pulled the girl's paternal grandmother. It was not immediately clear whether she was alive. She was carried to a vehicle on a stretcher.
The 2-week-old girl's father remains trapped somewhere under the rubble of the multi-story building, officials said.
Azra's maternal grandmother said the baby was born three weeks premature.
