Recently I witnessed a sickening display of the miscarriage of justice on ABC's "20/20" newsmagazine.
The story, as you all must of course remember, was about the killing of Brian Deneke by former high school football player, Dustin Camp.
I watched in shock as the verdict of manslaughter was delivered along with a sentence of probation!
The interview with Camp's smug, self-righteous defense attorney was enough to make my skin crawl. He ranks right up there with Johnnie Cochran. Living here in the Los Angeles area, I was held hostage by the O.J. Simpson Dream Team and its slimy tactics, using race as a ploy for its miscarriage of justice.
The same tactic was used by the defense in your city's courthouse by trying to destroy the victim to save the hero/good white boy, Mr. Camp. It obviously worked, and I hope that the upright citizens of Amarillo who sat on that jury are very proud of themselves.
Shame on Amarillo!
Long Beach, Calif.
Native is no longer proud of hometown
I was born and raised in Amarillo and have always been proud to say I am from there.
Unfortunately, I have lost contact with Amarillo during the past eight years. My family and high school friends have all moved away, thus I hear very little news from my hometown.
That is why I was so shocked to see not only my hometown but my alma mater (Tascosa High School) showcased on a recent segment of "20/20." I know this is old news to everyone in Amarillo, but this is the first I had heard about the "jocks and punks" incident that occurred in 1997.
I know the media tend to leave out certain facts and twist stories to sensationalize them, and I admit I do not know all the facts.
However, I must say I was shocked and ashamed to see that something of this nature could happen in my own hometown.
For a person to get only probation for killing another human being, seemingly because he looked different, is an outrage. I am ashamed to admit that I am from a town that fosters such attitudes and has such a low regard for life.
I have always been proud to say I am from Amarillo, but if this is how the town I call home treats those who are a little different and shows favoritism to some, then I no longer want to call it my home.
I know this letter is likely to open up old wounds, and I apologize for that. I also know I was not on the jury and was not present when the killing occurred and might have heard a biased version of the case.
However, if the case truly did occur as it was portrayed on "20/20," then I am and will always remain ashamed.
More Molly Ivinses are needed in paper
Since Judith Jones and Jerry G.G. King, in recent letters to the editor, voiced their opinions against Molly Ivins, I'll voice my opinion for her.
She is the only writer left in the Globe-Times who does make sense.
I guess Molly's only fault is that she tells it like it is, and some people, with their narrow way of thinking, don't think there ought to be any other views except their own expressed.
They especially don't want opposing views published in the newspaper, where other subscribers can read opinions other than the garbage put out by far-right columnists like Cal Thomas, George Will, Linda Chavez, Joseph Perkins and a host of others who appear in this paper.
Since Joseph Spears died and the Globe-Times replaced him with far-right columnist Linda Chavez, Molly Ivins is the only columnist who gives a liberal view. And some people can't stand it until they get rid of her.
They call that a democracy?
The Globe-Times should provide an equal number of liberal and conservative columnists. Then readers can make up their own minds on what they want to read and whom they want to believe. After all, this is supposed to be a newspaper, not a propaganda sheet.

Hacks: Fold Your Plastic Bags for More Space
There's no holiday quite like Thanksgiving. It's the day we all eat too much, fall asleep in front of the TV, enjoy our families, and begin plotting our Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday strategies.
But as we officially start the mad dash toward year-end, do yourself a favor. Take a minute between food, coupons and football to remember what today is really about.
A few years ago at a bloggers conference, I stopped a couple of popular bloggers and asked them for their favorite frugal tips. One in particular I remember well.
It was from Bob Lotich of Christian Personal Finance. What I expected was a tip like, "buy used" or "use coupons." But what he said was infinitely better:
"We live in a society where there's so much. There are so many things we have that people didn't have 100 years ago. We have heat inside of our houses, we don't have to go out to an outhouse. Things are pretty good now, yet everyone wants to complain about how bad it is. I would just say appreciate what you have and enjoy it."
Now there's a great frugal tip: Rather than obsessing about buying things you want, keep your money in your pocket and appreciate the things you already have. That's something we can all keep in mind as we rush into another frenzied season of shopping.
Material possessions, when it's all said and done, are vastly overrated. In fact, in the big picture, they're nearly irrelevant.
Nine years ago today, I was in Atlanta, sitting at my parents' dining room table, stuffing my face and cracking jokes with my mom, dad, sister, and assorted friends.
Today that house, dining room table and both my parents are gone. They're only memories. But what awesome memories they are.
My Thanksgiving wish for you is to create as many memories as you can, today and every day. Go ahead, shop till you drop. Have a great time.
Just remember that when you're on your deathbed, you won't be remembering the things you had, you'll be remembering the times you had.
So as often as you possibly can, surround yourself with the people you love and make some memories. You'll be glad you did.
Got some nice memories of your own to share? Take a minute to comment below or in our Forums. It's the place where you can speak your mind, explore topics in-depth, and post questions and get answers.

text: I decided to have a quick try at recording again today. Picked this beguiling little piece by Bedrich Smetana which was not a lot of work (as I need to go do some more chores in and round the house). Smetana - Sketches Op.5 - 3: Pleasant Landscape (2:18) Comments welcome especially on the new sound. I think it's much fuller then from my previous venue.


text: I'm Alex, I'm 27 and back around last June I was a complete mess. I had steadily been gaining weight for about 5 years, from about 240 to a little over 300lbs. Around the end of June my fiance and I split. I started losing a bit of weight simply because I was depressed and had little appetite. By the beginning of September I was down to about 275 simply because of this, which gave me a sort of confidence I was going to need for my next step. I saw a documentary called "Fat Head" on Netflix which really set some wheels turning in my head. I thought, "Hell, I can do that!", so I did. I ran across Paleo and Primal sites online and got some valuable tips ideas and recipes from them. I don't make a ton of money so I'm not always able to go the organic/grassfed/freerange route and I still enjoy my booze a bit more than I should but today I feel stronger, more energetic(when I get enough sleep, lol), and more confident than ever. I've even headed back to school, something that would have been unthinkable a year ago. As of now I'm down to about 216 from about 300 in june and about 275 when started on this thing. I weigh less now than I have ever weighed as an adult.

To the Editor.—I write concerning Dr Arthur Baue's excellent editorial, "Multiple, Progressive, or Sequential Systems Failure" (Arch Surg 110:779-781, 1975).
My comments concern the 14 suggested therapeutic options he describes to prevent multiple systems failure in postoperative and accidental trauma patients. I would add a simple and, I believe, empirically logical measure to his list. It pertains to minimizing stress ulcer bleeding—a common terminal event after decompensation of several organ systems. The group of patients under consideration are usually "tubed" (three orifices minimum), wired, ventilated, irrigated, and restrained in an intensive care unit where bright lights and constant monitor beeps stimulate the patient during his conscious periods. In this environment, I would hope that physician and nurse would mercifully administer frequent and adequate doses of morphine or similar analgesics for sleep and relaxation. Analgesia and sedation in this setting may well be equally important as nasogastric suction and antacids

GEF SGP Funds Bicycle Rental Scheme in Macedonia
3 September 2010: The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Program (GEF-SGP) is funding bicycle rental as an alternative means of urban transportation, and to reduce congested traffic and air pollution, in Skopje, Macedonia.
The project provides a model for functional rent-a-bike systems that may be replicated in other cities. Initial functioning of the rent-a-bike system showed exceptional results: after only one week of functioning, 507 renting hours of bikes were recorded. Three more municipalities in Skopje are expected to join the rent-a-bike system, establishing bike renting points in their municipalities. [GEF Press Release]

San Antonio Spurs 112, Phoenix Suns 110
Who would've thought four shots from one spot on the floor could mean so much? If the Richard Jefferson reclamation project needed a tidy little bow on it, RJ obliged on Wednesday night at the US Airways Center.
Jefferson hit four of five 3-pointers on his way to 28 points for the San Antonio Spurs in their 112-110 win over the Suns. Jefferson hit six of six free throws and grabbed four rebounds on the night too.
It was a far cry from Jefferson's first game in Phoenix last season, when he scored just four points, shot 2-7 from the field and didn't attempt a 3-pointer. It was a performance that in part lead to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich telling the media afterward, "We had too many pathetic games from too many people."
No, this wasn't that. But really, it was all about those four shots, especially the three that came in as many possessions.
The first one was in the offense, a good play off a excellent pass from James Anderson. Jefferson should know that the long 2-pointer is the most inefficient shot in basketball, so he made sure to step back behind the line as he was gathering the ball.
The second one was just for kicks. He was open, so why not take it?
The third one? Well, that was a big middle finger to last season.
But the game wasn't over with those nine straight points. The Suns still held the lead late in the game. And when it was needed, and any demons from last season might have crept back during crunch time, Richard Jefferson made sure they were dead and buried. Same shot. Same corner.
[Update: Our guy Bassy at NBA Playbook broke down Jefferson's fourth 3-pointer, make sure to check that out.]
Enjoy the video, folks.
Again, sorry for the wonky quality. I'm still working out some kinks in our video process.

The football season is winding down so each game is more important than the last.
This couldn't be more true for Northridge, which is taking on Roosevelt at 7 tonight at District 6 Stadium.
The Grizzlies got their first Class 3A Tri-Valley win last week, crushing Berthoud 42-6. They also snapped a three-game losing streak and brought their overall record to .500 (4-4).
Roosevelt, on the other hand, has won four straight games, three at home, and is perfect in the conference at 3-0. Last week, the Rough Riders grabbed a close 23-20 win against defending state champion Silver Creek.
Northridge and Roosevelt are almost complete opposites when it comes to their offenses. Northridge relies on its passing game while Roosevelt focuses on its ground game.
Northridge averages 216.3 receiving yards per game and 122.4 rushing yards per game with junior quarterback Brenden Fulton leading the way in both areas.
Fulton has completed 119 of 248 passes for 1,730 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions. He is also the leading rusher with 82 carries for 287 yards and four TDs.
Senior running back Tony-Dennis Lopez is the next highest rusher, posting 254 yards and two touchdowns on 62 carries. Junior wide receiver Jay Frye is Fulton's go-to guy, recording 46 catches for 758 yards and eight touchdowns.
Roosevelt is boiling over with running backs, running a triple option. The Rough Riders average 318 rushing yards per game and just 50.4 receiving yards a game.
Four of Roosevelt's top rushers have more than 300 yards, but senior Randy Molinar leads the pack. Molinar has a stellar 951 yards and 14 TDs on just 76 carries this season. Senior quarterback Kane Kratz is also high on the list with 69 carries for 373 yards and six touchdowns.
However, in the air, Kratz is just 19 of 37 for 359 yards, three touchdowns and five interceptions.
The Grizzlies are going to need to get a handle on the triple option quickly to hold off Roosevelt, and Fulton will need all the help he can get from his offensive line; the Rough Riders have 24 sacks this year compared to Northridge's four.
As for Roosevelt, running its intense ground game might help it overcome Northridge. But, if Kratz drops back for a throw, the Grizzlies should jump on the chance to make a defensive play.
« Who: Roosevelt (3-0 3A Tri-Valley, 5-2 overall) at Northridge (1-2, 4-4)
« What: Class 3A Tri-Valley football
« Where: District 6 Stadium in Greeley
« When: 7 tonight
« Who to watch: Northridge — QB Brenden Fulton, jr.; WR/DB Jay Frye, jr.; RB/LB Tony Dennis-Lopez, sr.
Roosevelt — RB Randy Molinar, sr.; QB Kane Kratz, sr.; RB Richie Escobar, sr.
« Last week: Northridge grabbed its first conference win, 42-6, against Berthoud. Roosevelt continued its win streak with a 23-20 win against Silver Creek.
« How they rank: Roosevelt is ranked first in the Tri-Valley conference by CHSAANow.com and fourth in Class 3A by Maxpreps. Northridge is ranked fourth in Tri-Valley by CHSAA and 22nd in 3A by Maxpreps.
« Simply simulating: According to NationalSportsRankings.com, if Roosevelt played Northridge 100 times, the Rough Riders would win 75 times with an average score of 24-15.

Max Payne
The video game of the same name that "Max Payne" is based on is literally nothing but shooting thousands of people in slow motion. Slo-mo bullet porn, and that's it. Sure, there's a story, but it's just an excuse to get you from one slaughter to the next. I would have gladly donated my right testicle to science if there was any chance the movie had actually followed this exact same convention.
Make no mistake. There is a plot with the depth of a baby pool, and it exists solely to drag the audience to the next scene, but that next scene is almost never a shootout or a slaughter. Instead we get another noir or crime cliche that has somehow become more boring than it already was. Whenever it seems something mildly interesting and original is about to happen, director John Moore finds a way to slow the pace down to a crawl and make the worst possible choice. Admittedly, that takes some skill. There aren't many people who can get away with making a movie that aims to be style over substance who then subtract the style.
The few action scenes that exist are in keeping with the movie's theme of ultimate boredom. The slow motion used is about 20 times slower than any reasonable person would expect, and the movements chosen for the effect show a severe lack of judgement usually seen only in the halls of the United States Congress. Want to see Mark Wahlberg run toward a window in super slow motion? Maybe you'd like to see his face go from serene to suprised, the transition taking a full minute?
Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is the only actual character in this movie, although it's still a stretch to call it a character. Everyone else is nothing but a plot device to move Max to the next plot device. A sorority girl with ADD could have spent more time developing a cohesive plot. This is especially the case with the assassin, Mona Sax (Mila Kunis), who you wouldn't know was an assassin, even after watching the movie, unless you read the plot synopsis on IMDB. And Mona is supposed to be a main character?
This highlights another problem: Max Payne is an over-edited nightmare. It makes no fucking sense. At the end of the movie, I had an idea as to the plot and who the bad guys were, but I couldn't point to a sensible progression of how I got to these conclusions. Many scenes are devoid of any context. There's one where a person in upper management (played by Chris O'Donnell) at a Pharmaceutical company is walking and talking with the CEO of the company in their office building. A few scenes later this manager is standing on a secluded street in drenching rain and the CEO drives up in a limo so that he can hand her a packet of information. The next time we see the manager, he's back in his high-rise pharmaceutical office building with the same packet of information. Why did he have to meet her on the street? The obvious answer is that "these kinds of movies are supposed to have clandestine meetings on rainy nights, and this one hasn't had one yet".
There are also numerous examples of people suddenly appearing at the right place and the right time, with no possible way of knowing they needed to be there. We don't even get the requisite throw-away line that explains their knowledge. It's like Moore and the post-production team had 10 hours of total footage to sort through, and then lost 7 hours of it before they even began.
If I wrote 100 of the most tired and over-used movie cliches on a huge 10x10 grid, had a group of drunken monkeys throw feces at this grid for a few days, then made a screenplay based on nothing but the most shit-stained contrivances, the resulting film would have a 95% chance of being better and far more coherent than "Max Payne."

The one does prove one thing: Mila Kunis can't act. She must give out free blowjobs to people to keep finding work because there is nothing about her that says 'decent actress.'
Give it three more years and she'll be doing crappy Showtime movies, then one big movie where she gets naked, then she'll be on the voice acting circuit, the terminal voice of Meg Griffin.

Supremes to rule on Video Game censorship for kids
Do kids really have the right to buy ultra-violent video games on their own? I don't think so. If their parents want to buy it for them then I guess I can go along with that.
Also if parents want to buy their little ankle biters cigs, beer and deep fried Twinkies they should be allowed to do so. Cocaine and Heroin probably not.

What I received in the mail today is cute, I'll give it that, but It's not at all what I thought I ordered. I ordered a brown bow in medium. The page claims that a "medium" is almost 6 inches by 3 (mine is 4 by 2, closer to the dimensions of a small) and it is most certainly NOT the color advertised in the photo-- "brown" on the model appears to be a dark tan color, but the bow I'm holding in my hands (and the tag says "brown") is almost exactly what "metallic taupe" is advertised as. I'm not sure If I'll keep this yet... it's alright, but not what I asked for.

dude this is awesome!
i think the reason there aren't that many reviews is cause this item isn't really stocked in stores...i've looked for it everywhere.
i ordered it online and got it in an s, camel. it's so cute! it's about half the size of the poly canvas bow clip. so adorable!
also another plus is instead of having the clip part hot glued on like the poly canvas bow, this one is actually attached so it's much sturdier.
very very VERY chic and cute. oh but just one random comment i have: i love the black, tan, brown, and camel colors...but the new colors that came out like pink, blue, green...just look so tacky...i think maybe cause it's leather...and that just looks tacky.

Next Arts & Social Network Event: Miro Exhibition at the Tate Modern on the 22nd July - Emergence Plus
Big thanks to everyone who came along to the V&A last week I hope you enjoyed yourselves?
All reports talk of a rich afternoon brought together through the variety of work and new levels of appreciation that came out of Anne's tour… many thanks to her for supplying so many insights into the the hows and whys that gave birth to the aesthetes…
If you missed it the show runs till the 17th of the month… everyone got so much out of this one so it's worth putting the effort in if you can.
Next up we have the much-anticipated visit to the MIRO show at Tate Modern… I have to say Liz always makes it special for us…she was there to spur us on at the first event back in 2009 when only a handful of people turned up. By the end of the evening though intimacy of experiencing the work together even in a smaller group was so rewarding it gave us the momentum we needed to shift up the gears in 2010 and get us to where we are today and where we will be going on the 22nd… (of July)
For more information go to http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/joanmiro/default.shtm. And a BBC report on the show with some one representing the new face of 21st century elitism here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13055685

Yesterday 3-1:
MIL/Wash Under 204.5(210)
MIN/SAC Over 216 (224)
LAC/DAL Under 189.5(169)
The past 11 Wizards contests have gone under. In this span only once has the Wiz allowed a 100 point scorer(ATL--102) while scoring 100 just once @ new jersey(108).
Are the Wiz a bad team, YES. but they guard the 3 pointer well and are now facing a Milwaukee team that has recently been on a scoring spree with Ellis and partly because of their ability to shoot the 3-ball(40% last 5)
Last game out, Milwaukee was held to 30% from three when pit against a very good defensive Memphis.
1) Good defense from Washington beyond the arc
2) Milwaukee's 3 pt% returning to the norm
Let's get 'em!
***Under 204.5***
I really like these two plays:
Texas -2.5; Think books are overreacting to the last loss texas had and are giving NC State too much credit for playing Vanderbilt w/o being blowed out.
Georgia +6 ///Nevermind, Georgia ML +250
Cal looks impressive, but so does Georgia Defense. I really like their D, having gone under the total all three games. Maybe take the points if you're worried about the Goergia FT%, but +250 is too high to ignore.

This is what I REALLY don't get about Primal Blueprint. It seems like Mark is trying to say (and I know forum members have said similar) that what you eat will have a significant affect on your offspring. Granted, your overall health (as a mother) will obviously have an affect on your growing child, physically (while inside you) and psychologically (while they're growing up). But things like bone structure, facial structure? I'm not convinced that my kids won't have narrow palates because my mom does, and all of her children did too (until we used palate expanders before braces), and thus potentially rather crooked teeth (to the point that chewing efficiently is difficult). I can understand how a father's health could affect the development of the fetus/child, but women are born with all their eggs so I don't understand how my diet could really have any influence on my child beyond in-utero.
Depression Lies
That article about miRNA is a worrisome bit of news. Take it the next step and wonder what the GMO foods in our diet are doing in our bodies and to our genes via the miRNA that gets in the blood stream.

Have you ever seen children affected by maternal drinking (FAS), low folic acid (spina bifida) and other maternal health issues? Our nutritional status deeply affects our children's development as they are gestating. Additionally, newer genetics research talks about epigenetics--our genetic state is not static, and our gene expression is changed by environmental factors. A geneticist friend of mine has been explaining this to me long before I ever started primal. This is also why people who experience psychological traumas can actually pass on differences in brain functioning to their children, so that even if those children never directly experience trauma, their brain structures are changed by changes in their mothers' gene expression that are then passed on.
Our genetic code at birth is more like a package of potential than an unavoidable destiny. This has really changed the whole field of genetics research, with some really exciting possibilities for understanding a lot more about our bodies and about diseases such as cancer.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde
Owly's Journal
Wow - these articles really make you think. Imagine all the crazy crap you did in your teenage years for example. I will certainly be sharing this info w/ my teenager - it may not effect her choices when she leaves our home, but knowledge is power!
The title of this thread made me think Shanahan and her book called deep Nutrition.
Pretty much the bulk of her book is about nutrition and genetics, really interesting read.
Organic / Wild / Pasture fed - thats Primal.
Primal is a step to a healthier, stronger, longer life with weight reduction as a side effect.
Primal is not just a weight reduction tool.

Cooper Brings Toughness Back To Tampa
Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper spoke to the media Monday afternoon after the Bolts' practice.
Coopers' focus was on defense and toughness.
Brett Connolly broke through the defense with a special goal.
"He had a goal scores' goal," Cooper said.
Connolly was drafted by the Lightning in the first round of the 2010 draft.
Cooper believes that the Lightning may have lost their edge when it comes to toughness.
"I still believe there's still a little bit of intimidation still involved in the game," Cooper said.
Cooper plans to make team dread playing at the Tampa Bay Times forum.

He danced threw their hail of bullets. He laughed as to taunt as he fired round after round each hitting them in the head never missing his mark. He killed them all without even the slightest bit of effort. As they laid on the ground he stood there in his long black jacket his eyes red with anger yet his face was filled with joy.
:c.... this guy's a bastard. I don't want to get on his bad side. Thanks for the story and the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Within moments of resuming the search for graves at the Gaillard Auditorium, archaeologist Eric Poplin hit on three more.
On any other day, that might be a big deal. But Poplin soon had to find a lot more orange marking flags.
The grounds of the Gaillard resembled a dig worthy of National Geographic consideration Thursday after at least 25 graves were uncovered in the earth near the corner of George and Anson streets.
Two more areas were listed as "probable" hits.
Whom the graves hold or how they got there remains a mystery, since no known cemetery is recorded for that site.
Based on preliminary research, Poplin said the pits date to at least 1780, the time of the American Revolution, and possibly much earlier.
What city officials plan to do once all the graves are counted is unclear. Staff members were talking with lawyers about the city's responsibilities in connection to the $142 million Gaillard makeover.
"It might be a day or two before we have a plan of what to do," said Dustin Clemens, Charleston's assistant director of capital projects.
The graves, spread out in two distinct and even rows, emerged after a combination of heavy machine, shovel and trowel work removed tons of dirt to open an area previously sealed under a Gaillard parking lot.
By Thursday afternoon, a flat-bottomed pit about 70 feet long by 30 feet wide had been cleared to a depth of 10 feet. On the ground were flags marking some two dozen squared-off purple-brown rectangular stains.
The stains probably don't depict actual coffins in the ground but instead represent the original soil that was turned over to fill in each grave all those decades ago.
The dark color is also probably heavily influenced by the decaying bodies that were put inside since they were full of nutrients that attracted all sorts of plant life, Poplin said.
At least one of the graves is near the foundation of a long-disappeared building or house, prompting Poplin to theorize that the burials were done long before the structure was put in.
It "implies the people who built the house didn't know the graves were there," he said. "Or didn't care."
While maps of the area don't show a recognized cemetery ever being on the site, officials do concede older city maps may simply be unreliable as to what Charleston looked like so long ago.
The dead might have been civilians, sailors, slaves or soldiers, but clues about that may also have to wait until all the remains are removed and studied off-site for their sex and age.
Trinkets possibly buried with the dead could also help with identification, but so far no artifacts or even coffin nails have been found. The deceased may have gone into the ground wrapped only in shrouds.
"If they are related to the Revolutionary War, they could be soldiers," Poplin said.
Some evidence of Charleston life from the time also has been uncovered, but it's mostly been shards of broken dishes or plates, bottles and animal bones. "Domestic refuse," Poplin called them.
During the dig Thursday, some human bone remains were exposed, but by accident.
Evidence of the graves was uncovered last week when workers were digging a trench for a drain system tied to the Gaillard improvements. At the time, only two grave sites were found, and further excavation was put on hold because of the recent heavy rain. Thursday turned out to be dry.
Charleston has a history of uncovering forgotten grave sites as new and modern construction is launched. But the significance of this find is that the site is considered close to the original Colonial heart of the city, before the march up the peninsula took off in later centuries.
The dig may resume today, but that depends on decisions about the next steps to take. In the meantime, security guards have been hired to watch over the open dig pit.

Is the United States contemplating more aid in order to take up the slack, since South Korea and Japans and others seem to be reluctant? BURNS: We've seen the statements from the World Food Program director, Ms. Bertini this morning. We certainly share her concern. We do believe, based on our own information, that there is a famine in North Korea; that this particularly effects young children; and that these people ought to be helped. As you know, we are the leading donor to the World Food Program. We have met two requests in the last two months. We have not been asked for any additional food aid. We will simply rely upon the World Food Program as the authoritative source to tell us if there is a need for an additional tranche of food aid from donor countries. If they do come forward to us with another appeal, of course we will look at that very, very seriously. In the meantime, I believe the first two ships of grain from Houston will arrive at Nampo, the North Korean port May 4th, just a couple of days from now, and May 12th. The second shipment from the second tranche of food that we have promised will be arriving later in the Spring. We do hope that other countries will respond favorably to the United Nations, because we think one ought to separate politics from the humanitarian need that people obviously have in North Korea. Q: Nick, given North Korea's poor record, by all accounts, on proliferation, I know you want to separate the two and you've spoken of that before. But does that hurt -- doesn't that hurt North Korea's case internationally, so far as getting assistance, because of their avid proliferation and reports, considered credible by this government, that they have produced nuclear weapons? BURNS: You know, if we were going to tie food aid to political issues, there are four or five political issues we could tie it to in North Korea. We could do the same thing in Zaire. We could do it in any number of countries. But once you start tying food aid to political issues, I think you pretty much guarantee you won't deliver food aid to people in most countries of the world because people are starving where there's political instability or political failure or economic failure. As President Clinton said on Friday, there is economic failure in North Korea. It's their system that has produced the shortages. But we feel we have an obligation to help the young kids under the age of six who are targeted by the United Nations for most immediate assistance. So, Barry, despite our concerns about proliferation -- and we have big concerns, and we're going to address those to the North Koreans in our talks to them in New York on the 12th and 13th of May -- we very firmly believe you've got to separate these issues of food aid and all the other political differences we may have with that regime. Q: In your own assessment of the situation in North Korea, have you uncovered evidence of the cannibalism that is being reported in the last couple of days? BURNS: I don't believe so. We've seen that report in the press. It's obviously very disturbing. But I don't believe we have any direct information at all about cannibalism. We have information from visiting congressmen, from the United Nations, from a lot of the non-governmental organizations that work there that there is tremendous shortage. It is widespread throughout the country, and it particularly affects older people and young kids, as you would expect in a situation like that. Q: And given that situation, do you have anything to say about the appointment of 120 new generals in North Korea and the apparent fitness of the military? BURNS: Well, we think the North Koreans should turn their attention to the civilian needs of their population. It's an over-militarized country, one of the largest standing armies in the world. That is one of the reasons why we have 37,000 American troops up along the DMZ to protect South Korea and our own interests. It would seem -- you watch this military parade that the North Koreans had on Friday, that CNN paraded on the television screens all day on Friday and throughout the weekend, it would seem to us that those well fed soldiers, and well groomed soldiers with brilliant uniforms, that some of the money ought to be spend on their own people who are starving. That just would seem to be a proper allocation of resources. I just return you to the President's comments on Friday -- this all gets back to economic failure, which is produced by communism. Q: Nick? BURNS: Yes, still on North Korea? Q: Yes. I saw a strange report last week, when the Russian defense minister was in Beijing, he said once war starts on the Korean Peninsula, Russia should join the battle. Did you see that report? BURNS: Who should join the battle? Q: Russia. BURNS: Russia? Q: Yes. The Russian defense minister said in Beijing, once war starts on the Korean Peninsula, Russia should join the battle. So what -- BURNS: Well, I haven't seen that statement. It doesn't seem to be -- it seems to be an improbable statement or it must have been a misquote. I think the Russian Federation has said consistently over the last few years that it supports stability in the Korean Peninsula. China has said that. China, Russia, and the United States all have worked well on the issue of Korea. We all want to see stability, peace. Nobody wants to see a war on the Korean peninsula. However, I feel compelled to say that we do have American troops there, and an American security commitment to South Korea to protect that country should it come under attack by North Korea. We don't believe that that is an imminent prospect, but we are always ready, and our troops are forward-deployed. Charlie, still on this? Q: Yes, still on this. BURNS: Nick, does the U.S. Government support food aid to the civilian people of North Korea, specifically those above six years old? Q: Well, we support food aid to everyone who needs it in North Korea, but it seems to us to be the civilian populations. The military seems to have been taken care of. That is usually the way it works in communist societies. The people with ribbons and medals get the resources. The World Food Program of the United Nations has specifically targeted kids under six. They say that those are the people in North Korea most susceptible to malnutrition and to starvation. Therefore, we rely upon its judgment and we contribute our food aid for that purpose. But we obviously hope that whoever is starving, in need of food aid, of whatever age, receives it -- receives that assistance from the world community. Q: On another subject -- Q: I wanted to chew this one. BURNS: Do you want finish this, Bill? Q: On North Korea, still? Okay, this one to follow with. I believe in the past week, the North Koreans have deployed their -- I think it's called NoDong Missile, Nick. This missile has been designed specifically to reach Japan -- or parts of Japan. Now, couple this with what Mr. Hyang -- Mr. Hyang had to say about the plans of the North Korean Government to devastate, to annihilate Japan. Have you any comment from this Government on those missile deployments? BURNS: Well, first we are aware of the reports about the missile, and it's obviously one of the issues that we wish to raise on the 12th and 13th of May with the North Koreans in New York. Second, we watch the North Koreans very closely, and not only do we have a security commitment to South Korea, we have a security commitment to Japan of long standing, many decades. That will continue, and the North Koreans are aware of that. It does seem to us that the North Koreans have opened themselves up a little bit to political dialogue with the West, with the United States, South Korea, Japan, on a number of issues. We hope that trend continues because we, obviously, prize peace and stability on the Peninsula. We want to build on that. Thank you. Jim.

CD Reviews - November 2009
by George Fendel,
and Kyle
Symbiosis, The Jeff Hamilton Trio.
the last decade, Jeff Hamilton's trio has experienced
changes, but it seems that each departee is replaced by someone with
equal talent. In sports, they call it reloading. And perhaps the term
applies nicely with Hamilton's present day trio of Tamir
Hendelman on
piano and Christoph Luty on bass. It's a wise old adage that
says "play
good tunes and swing with authority." And it seems to be the
this trio wishes to go. You'll know it from the first phrases
of "You
Make Me Feel So Young." Hendelman is following the path of
past piano
masters like Oscar Peterson, Gene Harris and Monty Alexander. One
clearly understands this trio's mission is not to present
murky music with hard to decipher melody lines. Instead, they want to
play with all the chops they have at their disposal and make sure
you're entertained (is that a bad word?) by a swinging trio
right down the center of the highway. On
"Midnight Sun," "Fascinating
Rhythm," "Blues In The Night" and others,
they come through with
aplomb. They're a tight, rehearsed, solid piano trio in the
best of
that time-honored tradition.
Capri, 2009,
Revival Of
The Fittest, Eric Alexander, tenor saxophone.
knew I wasn't getting any younger when I read recently that
Alexander is nearing his twentieth year as a leader on great recording
dates such as this one, where he keeps bearing the hard bop torch to
perfection. On this riveting quartet date, he joins forces with Harold
Mabern, piano, Nat Reeves, bass, and Joe Farnsworth, drums, on a varied
menu of tunes which take us on a journey to many musical destinations.
His opener, "Revival," is a blistering hard bop
vehicle with Alexander
blowing the roof off. Other impressive entries included Ivan
near-standard, "The Island"; Mabern's
funky "Too Late Fall Back Baby";
a rather Coltrane-ish "Love Wise," a pretty thing
that I remember from
Nancy Wilson; a no punches pulled blues and a Joe Farnsworth-inspired
Latin version of Michel Legrand's "You Must Believe
In Spring." Eric
Alexander is one of those artists that doesn't have to
impress with
pyrotechnics on tenor. He puts the whole story out there, rather like
Dexter Gordon might have done, leaving you to decide that this guy can
really play.

Mercer: A Centennial Tribute, Daryl Sherman, vocals.
my message to Arbors Records: anytime you wish to release an
album of
Johnny Mercer's music, go for it! Mercer was one of the great
contributors to the joyous American Songbook, and Daryl Sherman seems
to understand what Mercer was all about. Her tribute to our
"huckleberry friend" features tunes like
"Midnight Sun," "Jeepers
Creepers," "Come Rain Or Come Shine" and
"Charade." But the real treat
comes in more obscure gems like "I'm Shadowing
You," "Peter Piper" and
"Here Come The British." My personal fave is
"Little Ingenue," a tune
which Mercer wrote with pianist Jimmy Rowles, and one which enjoyed a
separate life under the title "Baby, Don't You Quit
Now." Here and
there, Sherman joins forces with trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and/or
bassist Jay Leonhart. Other pals on board include Jerry Dodgion, Howard
Alden, Chuck Redd, Marian McPartland and Barbara Carroll. Mercer, a
grand master of lyric writing, was an outdoor writer as compared to an
indoor type like Cole Porter. This session, full of fun, makes it clear
that people will be singing Johnny Mercer's lyrics a hundred
years from
2009, 62:35.
Boomer Jazz,
Marius Nordal, solo piano.
Nordal is one of those virtuoso pianists who can spin you around in
your chair and make you rue the day you ever started taking piano
lessons. I know this to be true because I own his first two albums for
Origin, and I've heard his Tatum-esque exploits on both. He
complete command of the piano, and you can't reign him in, so
try. And, by the way, it's all very musical and lots of fun!
This time
around, Nordal tackles the music of the last 40 years, hence the title.
I don't think any serious listener will ever come to the
that tunes by Chuck Berry, the Beatles, the Beach Boys and the like
will ever measure up to the sophistication of the Gershwins, Porters,
Kerns and Ellingtons. And that's my only argument with this
Nordal plays as brilliantly as ever, but "School
Days," "Good
Vibrations" and "She's Leaving
Home" don't have the jazz clout of the
previous generation of composers. Other than that, just breathe in his
virtuosity and understand that "Eleanor Rigby" and
"Mrs. Robinson"
never sounded better.
2009, 49:41.
Together, Friends of Brendan Romaneck.
Romaneck was a promising tenor saxophonist and composer who died at age
24, just as he embarked on what was to be a very promising career. At
the time of his passing, he was preparing his first recording. It would
have included the original music played here by friends Chris Potter,
tenor, Steve Wilson, alto and soprano, Terrell Stafford, trumpet and
flugelhorn, Keith Javors, piano, Delbert Felix, bass, and John Davis,
drums. His compositions cover the gamut of emotions and tempos, and one
can hear the depth of feeling in the playing of his musical colleagues.
A few standards are also covered. Among them are "My Shining
Hour" and
"Nancy With The Laughing Face," both of which
feature Potter's
sometimes stirring tenor sax. A highlight here is the pop tune
Me Softly With His Song," putting the passionate soprano of
Wilson in the spotlight. And Terrell Stafford is the man on several
tracks, with an absolutely juicy solo on a swinging vehicle entitled

I Remember
You, John Hicks, solo piano.
love it when musicians are hip to the fact that they don't
have to
rebuild the pyramids every time they step foot into a recording studio.
And with that in mind, we are grateful for this brilliant, recital-like
performance from the late John Hicks. I don't know whether or
not High
Note has more of John's work waiting to be released. But if
not, this
stunning solo effort would be worthy of any of his best work in the
past, and would totally stand up as a final musical statement. Every
tune is a gift-wrapped winner, and Hicks divides up the program between
the work of jazz composers and the American Songbook. Hence, we are
treated to rich entries like Monk's
"Reflections" and "Nutty";
"Sonar" and Strayhorn's "Upper
Manhattan Medical Group." From the
latter category, Hicks gives us "I Remember You,"
"A Nightingale Sang
In Berkeley Square" and other standards. It adds up to a
balanced, strikingly performed set of solo piano from a master artist.
In a 45 year career, John Hicks was consistently a winning contributor
to the art of jazz piano. It makes perfect sense that his last CD
should be called "I Remember You."
High Note,
2009, 54:41.
The Way They
Make Me Feel, Angela Hagenbach, vocals.
you remember singers like Chris Connor and Julie London who
dazzle with show-biz whoops and hollers, but instead tantalized with
sensuous low-pitched, husky voices? Angela Hagenbach is somewhere in
that niche and offers a swinging, extremely well arranged performance
of tunes by Johnny Mandel, Henry Mancini and Michel Legrand, including
"Cinnamon And Clove," "Slow Hot
Wind," "Quietly There," "Sure
as You're
Born," "Close Enough for Love,"
"Charade" and many more. The pianist on
the date is the rapidly rising star, Tamir Hendelman. He's
responsible for several of the arrangements. And with some obviously
inspired players on board, even a shimmering string section on several
tracks, the band is first cabin all the way. Hagenbach's
unusually low
voice handles the assignment with pizzazz and a nice jazz fell
throughout. Connor and London aside, today's parallel might
be singer
Patti Wicks, also a low-pitched standout. In any case, Hagenbach and
company are impressive on a well conceived and beautifully performed

say, and correctly so, that jazz education is a never-ending process,
so it's a delight when we hear a new and impressive group for
the first
time. The Shook-Russo 4Tet was a new listening experience for me, but I
sure liked their studied, lyrical, hip bop sound. And you
can't go
astray when you hire Colorado trumpet and flugelhorn wiz Greg Gisbert
as a guest. The group's leaders are Amy Shook, bass, Pat
Shook, tenor
sax, and Frank Russo, drums. Along with Tim Young on piano, this group
makes it all happen in the shadows of great, galloping bop groups from
jazz history. There is a strong sense here of the joy of playing this
American art form. The writing is full of energetic, compelling and
witty melody lines, which inform you that these cats really love to

Moods, Tony Foster, piano.
a Northwest guy, originally from Vancouver, B.C., now living in
Seattle. So why in the heck didn't I know of him before? From
opener, "Take the A Train," you'll
discover that Foster, like one of
his two piano heroes, Ahmad Jamal, realizes both the importance and the
impact of space. His sparse approach gives a totally new look to the
old standard. Having plowed ground under the shadow of Jamal, Foster
then does a 180 and plays "Cakewalk," a joyous romp
composed by his
other hero, Oscar Peterson. Needless to say, Peterson and Jamal are
worlds apart, but Foster does 'em both with ease and flair,
all the
while not sounding like either of them. Some shades of color and
texture follow on several Foster originals, and he ends the program
with a medley of "Someone to Watch Over Me" and
"You've Changed,"
followed by the closer, a down-home John Clayton blues called
Grease." Foster's playing mates, both
sharpshooters, are Russell
Botten, bass, and Joe Poole, drums. Foster's got a lot going
for him,
and somebody needs to invite him to travel the short 175 miles to play
here in Portland.

Right On
Time, Graham Dechter, guitar.
you buy a new jazz guitar album sight unheard these days, you never
know if you're going to get a true, straightahead jazz
guitarist or an
expert in electronic gimmickry. In the case of Graham Dechter,
delighted to say, he's released a pure and true and swinging
guitar album. Without question, there are certain musical standards to
be met in order to record with Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton and Tamir
Hendelman. You'd better have chops or these guys will digest
you for
lunch. And Dechter passes the test with sizzling single note journeys
and astonishing chord work as well. All of this talent gives some new
excitement to tunes such as "Wave," "The
Nearness of You," "I Ain't Got
Nothin' But the Blues" and a few scrappy, fresh
originals. So keep an
eye out for the warm and wonderful guitar of Graham Dechter.
Undoubtedly, you'll be hearing more from him.

Blue Bassoon,
Daniel Smith, bassoon.
you have more than a little gray at the temples, you might remember
some of the more unusual voices of jazz. Like Dorothy Ashby's
harp; Bob
Cooper's oboe or John Graas's French horn. Joining
them is Daniel
Smith, probably the world's one and only bebop bassoon
Normally, bebop and bassoon would never be uttered in the same
sentence, but here comes Smith to put that idea to rest with bop
anthems. The bassoon, usually a proud presence in symphony orchestras,
gets a good workout here in jazz. Joining the fray is Martin Bejerano,
a stunning pianist well on his way up the jazz ladder, as well as
Edward Perez, bas,s and Ludwig Alonso, drums. Don't be
thinking that
this is some novelty outing. Smith's a solid improviser on
one of the
most unwieldy instruments that has ever come down the line. Give him
credit. He pulls it off with jazz chops intact.
2009, 47:57.
Thread, Amanda Carr, vocals and Kenny Hadley, big band leader.
guess we all have to sit up and take notice when Nat Hentoff tells us
in the Wall Street Journal, "Amanda Carr is a true jazz
singer in a
time of wannabes." The Boston area singer works
hand in glove with a
bevy of Beantown's best in Kenny Hadley's Big Band.
Carr sings on key
and respects melody lines but doesn't shy away from the
subtleties that
earn that monicker of jazz singer. The tunes, all skillfully
for big band, include "They All Laughed,"
"Time on My Hands," "There's
a Small Hotel" and a bunch more. It's nice to see
younger generation
singers discovering these A+ songs, thus keeping them accessible. And
it's particularly pleasing to hear them interpreted honestly
and with a
quality orchestral backing. Nicely done!

Voices Deep
Within, Cedar Walton, piano.
seems to me that after some forty years of occupying one of the
penthouse suites in the jazz piano condo, that Cedar Walton could rest
on his laurel if he was inclined. But as you'll hear on his
recording, it ain't gonna happen. Walton was armed and ready,
you'll believe on the title tune, his own composition. In
everybody arrives equipped for heavy duty hard bop, including Vincent
Herring, Buster Williams and Willie Jones III. The guys establish a
deep, in the shed bop groove on the opener, and then,
surprise-surprise, the trio (without Herring) strolls into a medium
tempo evergreen, "Memories of You." Stevie
Wonder's "Another Star"
receives a scintillating treatment featuring the tenor sax of Herring
(who, incidentally, does not play any alto on the date).
"Dear Ruth" is
Waton's lilting original named for his mom, and
"Something in Common"
has been a Walton staple for decades. Another standard "Over
Rainbow," is played with a nod to Bud Powell. By now, John
"Naima" has become a jazz standard, and Walton
plays it with great
respect. The closer, Sonny Rollins' "No
Moe," is one of hundreds of
rhythm changes tunes. Just another day at the office for
Walton. And a
great day it was!

Lexicon, John Wojciechowski,
tenor and soprano saxes.
Coltrane left a huge imprint on scores of saxophone players, and most
certainly John Wojciechowski is one of them. His recording of all
original material features a quintet delivering a variety of moods and
tempos, much of which seems to bear a connection to Trane. Much of his
writing is lyrical and almost thematic, but his group can also throw a
knockout punch on some fast-moving hard bop.

Bifrost, John
Moulder, guitars.
you like spacey guitar music with lots of electronic effects, this may
be your CD. At some point in time, musicians are going to come to the
conclusion that they don't have to synthesize and electrify
their music
to make it palatable or even ìcurrentî.
There's a seamless quality to
most of this stuff, making me ask when does the
ìsoundî cease and the
jazz begin?

Ascension, Christian Fabian, bass.
what I assume to be a debut album, Christian Fabian has written some
melody lines that are both catchy and melodic. Some of them are playful
enough that you might find yourself whistling them. The honored guest
of the session is pianist Don Friedman, a standout Bill
Evans-influenced artist. His classy piano is featured on several trio
cuts. Fabian also invites a number of horn guys who contribute solid
solo work here. Amidst his pallet of fine original compositions,
find standards like "Sunny Side of the Street,"
"Wave" and "What Is
this Thing Called Love."

Bay Area pianist who has carved out a nifty niche as a both a composer

with a most engaging style. He can alternate between Coltrane-inspired
lines, bluesy grooves and intimate melodies with ease. His band mates
include Mitch Wilcox, bass, Brian Andres, drums, and Sheldon Brown,
saxophones, all of whom seemingly work hand in glove with the leader.

Gordon describes his latest work not so much as jazz, but rather as
disparate music which includes elements of many styles. Sometimes
there's a classical bent to the nine original pieces included
here. At
other times, it takes on something of a film noir sound, a thematic
throwback, if you can imagine such a thing. Interesting too are a
couple of duets with the great pianist Bill Charlap. Gordon is a
virtuoso on alto, but if you're looking for Bird, Stitt or
Phil Woods,
this won't quite work for you.

Where Is
Love? Kelley Suttenfield, vocals.
may be in a recession, but there are plenty of female singers to keep
everyone happy. Kelley Suttenfield brings a sweetness and sincerity to
a dozen most familiar melodies including "Charade,"
"West Coast Blues"
and "My One and Only Love." Of less interest were
pop throwaways like
"And I Love Her" and "Ode to Billy
Joe." On the other hand, the
inclusion of Betty Carter's obscure "Open the
Door" was a welcome
surprise. Reminiscent just a bit of Susannah McCorkle, Suttenfield
eases her way into some vocals which will get your attention.

GRADY, N.M. - Grady's lone gasoline station has been shut down, forcing motorists to drive more than 30 miles to Clovis or San Jon for fill-ups.
Darrel Cook said he reluctantly closed his unstaffed, self-serve station because of vandalism and thefts.
More than 800 gallons of fuel was stolen and vandals inflicted more than $30,000 in damage to equipment in four incidents spanning a month, he said.
"I felt like I was on my own up there, so I just closed it down," Cook said.
The station has been closed since Feb. 21, when someone stole $6,000 worth of surveillance cameras and destroyed two fuel pumps.
"Just wiped me out," Cook said.
Curry County Sheriff Matt Murray said his agency is investigating the incidents.
Mayor Wesley Shafer said the village will stock up on fuel for its fleet, which includes five fire trucks, an ambulance and a van to transport senior citizens.
The village buys up to 400 gallons of unleaded gasoline and 300 gallons of diesel fuel every six months.
Shafer said the village is considering applying for a government grant to purchase the property from Cook and lease it out to set up a gas station in Grady.
"It hurt the community," he said.
