For Zubaida Bibi, a Christian woman working in a garment factory in the Korangi Industrial Area of Karachi, Pakistan, the workday on October 12 at Crescent Enterprises probably began like most. Her job as a custodian helped make it possible for her to care for her children. But before her shift was over, a Muslim worker at the factory attempted to rape her, and then slit her throat, leaving four orphans without a mother to care for them. And the case of Zubaida Bibi is far from unique: In Pakistan, the phenomena of Islamic men raping Christian women is becoming more common.
Former Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi was killed by militia groups during a battle to take the loyalist stronghold city of Sirte, National Transitional Council (NTC) officials announced on Thursday. His bloody body was then reportedly dragged through the streets.
According to the Associated Press for Oct. 20, more than 100,000 people assembled in front of the Greek parliament yesterday to vent their opposition to the proposed austerity legislation. The AP added of today's scene:
Protesters gathered by the tens of thousand[s] outside the Greek parliament Thursday, ahead of a vote on intensely unpopular new measures needed to secure continued payment of international rescue loans that have so far prevented the country from sliding into bankruptcy.
After months of NATO and rebel claims that the end was near for the Libyan dictatorship of Col. Muammar Gadhafi, it appears increasingly likely that the brutal regime is on its last legs. On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even praised "Libya's victory." But it isn't over yet.
Moody's summary of its annual report on France's finances appeared on Monday sufficiently couched in calm and reasoned tones that the markets took little notice: "The country's Aaa rating with a stable outlook reflects the French economy's strength, the robustness of its institutions and very high financial strength."
STOCKHOLM — As the growing "Occupy Wall Street" protests prepare to enter their second month after spreading across the United States, "solidarity" demonstrations were held over the weekend in hundreds of cities in dozens of countries around the world.
In a display of disregard for public opinion, leaders of the ruling Australian Labor Party (ALP) pushed through legislation in the lower house of parliament that will burden their nation with a whole new form of taxation: a carbon tax. Following the razor thin legislative "victory" — a vote of 74 to 72 — opposition leader Tony Abbott (left) of the Liberal Party (LP) gave a "pledge in blood" that his party would dismantle the new tax as soon as his party regains power.
Troubled European nations' credit ratings are continuing to plummet. On October 13 Standard & Poor's downgraded Spain to AA-, three steps beneath the optimum AAA rating. Last week the Fitch agency also downgraded Spanish credit worthiness (as well as Italian). S&P's cited weak growth in Spain's economy (estimated at one percent this year, a reduction from February's 1.5 percent projection) as well as the general dire situation of the PIIGS EU member-states (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain).
There has been a series of varying reports on the latest news concerning 32-year-old Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani (pictured at left), who had been condemned to death by an Iranian court for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. According to Baptist Press News, Reuters News Service had reported on October 11 that Iran's Supreme Court had sent the case back to the original court that had tried him, ruling that there had been insufficient investigation into the charges against the pastor. "The court will issue a new verdict," Reuters reported, citing the Iranian Student's News Agency (ISNA) as its source.
British authorities have rescued at least 400 children who were brought to Britain often for use in blood rituals conducted by witch doctors, the BBC reported this week. The BBC's data come from child protection organizations and Scotland Yard, and document the problem: the superstition of juju, or the use of objects in rituals of witchcraft.
The anti-Christian policy of the Egypt military rulers became even more readily apparent as they blamed Christian victims and "enemies of the revolution" for a series of violent clashes which left over two dozen people dead. In another tragic example of a military junta blaming its victims for its oppressive actions, Major General Adel Emara denied widespread reports of the military's actions, which murdered dozens of Christians, According to one Associated Press report, Emara "tried to clear the military of any blame in the killings. He denied troops opened fire at protesters, claiming their weapons did not even have live ammunition. He said it was not in 'the dictionary of the armed forces to run over bodies ... even when battling our enemy.' "

Comments about Toshiba Satellite A300 Notebook PC:
The Toshiba a300 is the best laptop i have ever owned. I bought this laptop back in 08 and it is a great computer! It comes internet ready so there is no hassle. I have 4 gb ram and 420 of hard drive space so i can run almost all programs and games. The graphics card is not a bad one and has good picture. I love the blue ray player feature on my laptop. This laptop runs very smoothly, and is extremely fast for any computer let alone a laptop. The battery doesn't last very long but that is a small price to pay for the speed. The fingerprint login is a very cool feature. I enjoy the speakers very much. I mainly use my laptop for editing videos and audio clips and would rather use it than a mac. I didn't like the operating system (vista) so i upgraded it to windows 7 and have had no problems with speed or efficiency. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. I don't use internet explorer (Use google chrome, much faster) but google chrome is lightning fast with this computer and theres never any loading time.
Comments about Toshiba Satellite A300 Notebook PC:
I do not know much about computers, so I did a lot of research - asking friends, looking up models online, etc. - and ended up buying this one, and planned to use it for university. The whole plan of taking notes on my laptop in class went down the drain when I realized how heavy this was to carry around all day, and how uncomfortable it was to have to carry it in its special little bag, because it was too big to fit into my backpack, which seemed to be what everyone else could do. For the most part, it stayed home like a desktop would, but I have not had technical problems; the machine has run smoothly for about three years now. The only complaint I have would be that it overheats from time to time. It gets so hot sometimes that I'm afraid of it blowing up. I've tried using one of those fans that you place under a laptop to cool it down, but it did not work too well; the problem remains.
Comments about Toshiba Satellite A300 Notebook PC:
I have owned my toshiba satellite A300 laptop for over a year now and it is still works like it's brand new. One of the things the most attracted me to this computer, besides it's unique cover style, were the touch sensitive media control buttons located above the keyboard. It saves time and makes it very convient for controlling movies or music without disturbing what you are currently doing. Also, it has an amazing sound quality. I am a fairly fast typer so it was a relief that the keyboard was extremely responsive to even a quick light touch. I am a gamer as well and this laptop has worked practicly perfect with any games i have tried on it such as World of Warcraft, Dragon Age, Resident Evil, etc. Other features i am very pleased with include a 200GB hard drive and a decent dvd writer. I could go on and on about what i do like but there are two things i am unhappy with about this laptop. The first thing is when using it portably the battery life is very short and inefficient. Lastly, the volume dial is located on the very front of the laptop. This is quite the inconvience if you are using it in a situation where it is in your lap for example you can accidently change the volume unexpextedly and thanks to the impressive sound it puts out this is often a problem as is it very startling and can be disturbing to others in public situations. Overall though I really couldn't be happier.
Comments about Toshiba Satellite A300 Notebook PC:
The Toshiba A300 series of laptops are useful for the college student on the go. Not only does it come with a widescreen display, it also has a rocking sound system which makes it easier to listen to music, play videos and gaming. This computer is built for gamers who would like to play games developed by many companies and can be used anytime on call.
The battery power is very reliable for two hours before it is needed to be plugged into a power source. A lot of people might ask why should I purchase a Toshiba product when I would rather use Hp or a Mac? Well to answer their questions I give you the opinion from an experienced user such as myself. The Toshiba system can be compatible with any other Os and it has a really reliable service team that will assist you with any problem you might have when using this fine product.
The computer's hard drive space may be limited but it helps to prevent any system crashes and errors. This system comes loaded with the Toshiba game console which has a variety of games and the Toshiba DVD player which plays a crystal clear picture on any screen it's plugged in to.
Anyone who is starting out with a laptop I encourage you to purchase this system. It is durable and can handle any type of impact.
In short the Toshiba Satellite A300 series is the Chuck Norris of the laptop world!

The electrifying story of the turbulent year when the sixties ended and America teetered on the edge of revolution As the 1960s drew to a close, the United States was coming apart at the seams. From August 1969 to August 1970, the nation witnessed nine thousand protests and eighty-four acts of arson or bombings at schools across the country. It was the year of the My Lai massacre investigation, the Cambodia invasion, Woodstock, and the Moratorium to End the War. The American death toll in Vietnam was approaching fifty thousand, and the ascendant counterculture was challenging nearly every aspect of American society. Witness to the Revolution, Clara Bingham's unique oral history of that tumultuous time, unveils anew that moment when America careened to the brink of a civil war at home, as it fought a long, futile war abroad. Woven together from one hundred original interviews, Witness to the Revolution provides a firsthand narrative of that period of upheaval in the words of those closest to the action—the activists, organizers, radicals, and resisters who manned the barricades of what Students for a Democratic Society leader Tom Hayden called "the Great Refusal." We meet Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn of the Weather Underground; Daniel Ellsberg, the former Defense Department employee who released the Pentagon Papers; feminist theorist Robin Morgan; actor and activist Jane Fonda; and many others whose powerful personal stories capture the essence of an era. We witness how the killing of four students at Kent State turned a straitlaced social worker into a hippie, how the civil rights movement gave birth to the women's movement, and how opposition to the war in Vietnam turned college students into prisoners, veterans into peace marchers, and intellectuals into bombers. With lessons that can be applied to our time, Witness to the Revolution is more than just a record of the death throes of the Age of Aquarius. Today, when America is once again enmeshed in racial turmoil, extended wars overseas, and distrust of the government, the insights contained in this book are more relevant than ever. Praise for Witness to the Revolution "Especially for younger generations who didn't live through it, Witness to the Revolution is a valuable and entertaining primer on a moment in American history the likes of which we may never see again."—Bryan Burrough, The Wall Street Journal "A gripping oral history of the centrifugal social forces tearing America apart at the end of the '60s . . . This is rousing reportage from the front lines of US history."—O: The Oprah Magazine "The familiar voices and the unfamiliar ones are woven together with documents to make this a surprisingly powerful and moving book."—New York Times Book Review "[An] Enthralling and brilliant chronology of the period between August 1969 and September 1970."—Buffalo News "[Bingham] captures the essence of these fourteen months through the words of movement organizers, vets, students, draft resisters, journalists, musicians, government agents, writers, and others. . . . This oral history will enable readers to see that era in a new light and with fresh sympathy for the motivations of those involved. While Bingham's is one of many retrospective looks at that period, it is one of the most immediate and personal."—Booklist From the Hardcover edition.

"During the academic calendar year of 1969 and 1970, there were 9000 protests and 84 acts of arson or bombings at schools across the country. Two and a half million students went on strike, and 700 colleges shut down. Witness to a Revolution, Clara Bingham's oral history of that year, brings readers into this moment when it seemed that everything was about to change, when the anti-war movement could no longer be written off as fringe, and when America seemed on the brink of a revolution at home, even as it continued to fight a long war abroad. This unique oral history of the late 1960s tells of the most dramatic events of the day in the words of those closest to the action--activists, organizers, criminals, bombers, policy makers, veterans, hippies, and draft dodgers. These chapters are narrative snapshots of key moments and critical groups that sprung up in some of the most turbulent years of the 20th century. As a whole, they capture the essence of an era. They questioned and challenged nearly every aspect of American society--work, capitalism, family, education, male-female relations, sex, science, and wealth--and many of their questions remain important. A sampling of insights: how the killing of four students at Kent State turned a straight social worker into a hippie overnight; how the draft turned Ivy League-educated young men into fugitives and prisoners; how powerful government insiders walked away from their careers; how Vietnam vets came home vowing to stop the war; how, in the name of peace, intellectuals became bombers; how alienation from the establishment and the older generation compelled people to drop out, experiment with psychedelic drugs, and live communally; and how the civil rights and antiwar movements gave birth to feminism"--

"Michael Uhl was one of the most prominent figures in the veteran's resistance movement that played a crucial role in bringing to the American people the shocking reality of the Vietnam war. This collection of his writings is a pleasure to read, and to contemplate."--Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus, MIT "As one of the most eloquent voices of the Vietnam generation, Michael Uhl's essays, journalism, and criticism provide an essential road map to 'the defining predicament' of his generation. Uhl masterfully explains and analyzes the literature, politics, and emotional realities of the Vietnam legacy. This is essential reading for those of us who are still trying to make sense of the Sixties."--Clara Bingham, Witness to the Revolution: Radicals, Resisters, Vets, Hippies, and the Year America Lost its Mind and Found its Soul The singular collection of articles, essays, poems, criticism and personal recollections by a Vietnam veteran documents the author's reflections on the war, from his combat experiences to his exploration of American veteran identity to his struggles with PTSD. His career as an advocate for the welfare of GIs and veterans exposed to dangerous radiation and herbicides is covered. Several pieces deal with how the Vietnam experience is being archived by scholars for historical interpretation. These collected works serve as a study of how wars are remembered and written about by surviving veterans.

Days of rage provides an account of the volatile period of 1968-1975, in which home-grown terrorist groups wreaked havoc in major US cities. The FBIs response to the leftist revolutionary counterculture seems almost criminal in itself to many, but as this ground-breaking book shows, this was a period of menace where radicals were smuggling bombs into public spaces and assassinating policemen. This book takes us into the hearts and minds of home-grown terrorists and federal agents alike and weaves their stories into a spellbinding secret history of the 1970s.

A Globe-Spanning Musical Feast
Raphaela Papadakis seems to like 'playing with fire'. After her acclaimed performance as the put-upon maid, Anna, in Independent Opera's production of Šimon Voseček's Beidermann and the Arsonists at Sadler's Wells last year, she is currently rehearsing for the premiere this week of And London Burned, a new opera by Matt Rogers which has been commissioned by Temple Music Foundation to commemorate the 350th anniversary of The Great Fire of London.
By George Loomis [NY Times, 24 August 2010]
EDINBURGH — The Edinburgh International Festival has gone multicultural. In a sense, when the offerings of a festival number well over 100 and embrace opera, dance, drama, concerts and other categories, it might be hard not to. But the festival's theme this summer, "oceans apart," seeks to connect continents, and in a four-day visit, one could experience a number of events that did just that.

JERSEY CITY - A former Jersey City police officer has lost his discrimination lawsuit against the city.
Jurors ruled Frank DeFazio did face a hostile work environment at the Jersey City Police Department, but felt he was unable to prove the conditions there were related to his age.
A Jersey City spokesperson declined to comment on the verdict.
DeFazio told his story to Kane In Your Corner last month in an exclusive interview. He says he faced retaliation after speaking out about what he considered unprofessional behavior in the city's Emergency Services Unit, including some officers wearing patches associated with an anti-government militia. DeFazio documented the retaliation and sent a written report to Jersey City's equal opportunity officer, then says he was confronted with a copy of that report by police brass. He says the report had been doctored, with many passages rewritten or deleted "to make me look paranoid."
The facts of the case were always an odd fit for an age discrimination lawsuit. DeFazio originally tried to sue as a whistleblower as well, but a judge dismissed that part of the case, saying DeFazio and his attorney had failed to file within the one-year time limit set forth in the Conscientious Employee Protection Act. DeFazio's attorney, Theodore Campbell, tried to make the facts fit an age discrimination case, arguing the department was "trying to get rid of the older members (and) have their way with the younger guys who would follow blindly." In the end, the jury didn't buy it.

The pair rejected Gore's advances, but the former vice president said there were no hard feelings. "They built that business into a fantastic success," Gore said. "I'm very bullish on Twitter."

Winter hit us a few weeks ago. One night it started snowing those big, heavy snow drops, and it didn't stop before the morning came. How magical it was to wake up with everything covered in white – a much needed change of scenery after weeks and weeks of wet and foggy weather. There is just something special about that first snow especially for Kai who thought the whole experience was mighty strange.

This is one of the finest white Burgundy estates, where the wine-making involves minimal interventions. It is run by Jean-Marc Blain and his wife Claudine, the daughter of Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange. The family owns some of the village's greatest hillsides. New oak barrels are never used to excess, being subtly spread amongst the different cuvées, so that spicy oakiness is never perceptible here. Blain is also prudent with stirring-up of the lees (known as bâtonnage) which, if used to excess, may result in heavy wines which taste mealy. Here, on the contrary, the finished wines have great purity of fruit, with balanced acidity and long, clean flavours which clearly evoke the wines' precise origins.
A wonderfully refined and broad-ranging nose displays notes of citrus, dried white flowers, wet stone and a pretty mix of white orchard fruit scents. There is a real sense of underlying tension to the seductively textured mid-palate that tightens up on the focused, bone dry and beautifully intense finish. This is a complete wine that combines the elegance of the Clos St. Jean with the length of the Boudriotte and richness of the Morgeot. Indeed the only apparent nit is a discreet touch of backend warmth but overall this is certainly one to think about. Score: 92 Points; Drink: 2017+ Sweet spot Outstanding

- Chrome TrimPillar Post Trim: Mirror-Bright Dress-Up For The OutsideWhile chrome trim has gone in and out of fashion on automobiles over the years, it's hard to deny the reason chrome always comes back into fashion is because it simply looks so good. Applied in just the right amount, chrome pieces can really make the lines of any car or truck pop. When most vehicles roll off the assembly line though, trim pieces around doors and windows are often found lacking - but with potential for easy improvement.May 11, 2016
- Rocker Panels + FloorsFitment, Style, Installation | Rocker Panel Trim Options ExplainedSince the demise of built-in running boards after World War II, auto manufacturers have been using rocker panel moldings to dress up a vehicle area that would otherwise be plain-looking and nondescript. Technically, a rocker panel is the section of a vehicle's body below the doors and between the front and rear wheel wells. For decades, stainless steel molding strips were installed over rocker panels for styling purposes and to protect the body from stones and debris. Typically, a value-priced base model would have no rocker panel moldings at all, a higher-trim level would feature a slim molding strip just below the doors, and the most expensive version of a car would be equipped with wide rocker molding sets that extended further up onto the doors.August 27, 2015
- Chrome TrimChrome Trim: Overlay vs. ReplacementOne of the more eye-catching tricks automobile manufacturers have used to differentiate higher-priced luxury versions of a car model from value-priced versions of it has been to vary the amount of chrome trim on the vehicle. Base model cars and trucks (also known as "strippers" or "entry level") have little if any chrome while luxury and top-of-the-line ones have the most chrome. In years past, plain Jane cars were simply painted in all areas instead of being chromed. In more recent decades, the low-cost replacement of choice has become black plastic. This makes base models easier than ever to spot because the eye catches hard on black plastic. Completely missing is the pleasing chrome finish on grilles, door trim, mirror assemblies, light bezels, and other areas. Base models end up looking more like fleet vehicles or work trucks than anything prestigious, especially to people who aren't automotive enthusiasts.August 26, 2015

MISSION CHEESE OPENING MAKER'S COMMON ON UNIVERSITY Popular Valencia Street cheese and charcuterie bar Mission Cheese made plans to open a second, larger restaurant and retail location in San Francisco about a year ago. But after struggling to find affordable space in San Francisco, founders Sarah Dvorak, Oliver Dameron and Eric Miller decided to search elsewhere. They've now signed a lease at 1958 University Ave. in downtown Berkeley. The new restaurant will be called Maker's Common, and it will offer a small, curated retail market in addition to a sit-down restaurant. "We are incredibly excited to dig into our new East Bay surroundings, meet our neighbors, and get this train rolling," wrote Miller on the company's blog. The restaurant's name is a reference to its emphasis on supporting makers — cheesemakers, winemakers, beer makers, etc. "When I think about food and what gets me excited about food, is thinking about the people and the process that has gone into bringing that food to my table," said Dvorak in the company's fundraising video. Funding for Maker's Common is being secured through a $600,000 Direct Public Offering; so far Maker's Common has raised close to half of its goal. Maker's Common will be at 1958 University Ave. (at Bonita Avenue), Berkeley. Connect with the restaurant on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. … Continue reading »

ANTOINETTE BRASSERIE AT CLAREMONT NOW OPEN Last week, we gave you an update on Antoinette, the new brasserie at the Claremont Hotel. The French restaurant, overseen by Michelin-starred Dominique Crenn, with Justin Mauz as executive chef, opened Tuesday. Eater SF has a photo gallery of the revamped former Paragon restaurant and bar. And Inside Scoop has the opening-night menu which leans traditional French — with foie gras and wine-based sauces much in evidence — and pricey. Among the starters: Warm Broccoli Velouté with Sea Urchin and Blood Orange ($18); Sweetbreads with Foie Gras, Dates, Baby Chicory, and Banyuls ($23); and Basil-fed Escargot with Champagne and Hazelnut Chartreuse ($18). Entrées include Coq au Vin with Pinot Noir Braise and Maitake ($29); Schmitz Ranch Prime Strip Steak with Celeriac Dauphinoise and Sauce Bordelaise ($60); Whole Roasted Monkfish Tail with Bouillabaisse, Cous Cous and Vadouven (serves 2-3, $95); and a whole Liberty Farms Rotisserie Duck with Abalone Mushroom, Foie Gras, Chou Rouge and Châteauneuf-du-Pape (serves 3-4, $200). A spokeswoman for the Fairmont Group, owners of the Claremont, said Thursday the team was reworking the menu, so what you see here might change. (The hotel's other restaurant, the Meritage, offers a more down-to-earth dinner menu.) … Continue reading »

MELOMELO OPENS ITS DOORS Berkeley residents looking for an alternative bar atmosphere now have a new destination. MeloMelo Kava Bar (pictured above), a coffee- and alcohol-free watering hole, opened softly this past Tuesday. As we reported in September, kava is a Polynesian drink, made from the roots of the kava-kava plant, that has a mild sedative effect. Along with a rotating selection of kava, MeloMelo is serving kombucha on tap and a weekly "kava koncotion" special. You can learn more about the history and science of kava on MeloMelo's website.

The Charlie Cart: A little kitchen for every classroom
Designed with reference to the cowboy Chuck Wagon, the Charlie Cart sports two burners, an oven, drawers filled with 10 sets of utensils, dishes, pots and pans, a manual-water-pump, and a drought-wise grey-water waste bucket for returning all water to the garden.
The Charlie Cart Project launched on Nov. 7 on Kickstarter. The $40,000 it aims to raise will fund three pilot cooking and nutrition programs in California, where lessons and a mobile kitchen will be tested and refined before rolling out nationwide in 2015. … Continue reading »
To improve the food system, start with the words
Douglas Gayeton spent five years working on his new book LOCAL: The New Face of Food and Farming in America, a collection of beautiful information artworks accompanied by short essays chronicling the constituents of our country's sustainable food system. The writer and photographer traveled all over the country, and he says he always knew almost immediately when a photo shoot wasn't going to work out. If he was approaching a group of animals with a rancher, for instance, and they all began to walk away from them, he knew the gig was a bust.
"There are certain principles of animal husbandry, and if the animals demonstrate with their behavior they believe they have something to fear, it tells you a lot about the relationship," Gayeton said.
Similarly, if he couldn't spot a single weed in a field of produce, Gayeton would move on to the next project. "Everything is about the practice," he said. "The farmer has been using pesticides. It's not humanly possible to get rid of every weed." … Continue reading »
Janet Napolitano launches UC food initiative in Berkeley
UC President Janet Napolitano visited Berkeley's Edible Schoolyard on Tuesday to launch a new initiative which aims to pull together the resources of ten UC campuses to address, and hopefully find solutions to, issues of food security, health and sustainability internationally.
The UC Global Food Initiative was conceived following a meeting held earlier this year between Napolitano and UC campus chancellors at which they agreed to work collectively to support healthy eating on the international stage. But their efforts will start at home. The project will identify best practices and share them widely within the UC system.
Yesterday morning, Napolitano was shown around the Edible Schoolyard garden at King Middle School by its founder, Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters, who is one of the members of the university's Food Initiative Working Group. Other members of the group who attended the launch included UC Santa Cruz Professor Daniel Press, executive director of the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at that campus, and Ann Thrupp, executive director of the Berkeley Food Institute at UC Berkeley. … Continue reading »
Despite theft, 'best ever' Edible Schoolyard Plant Sale
The Edible Schoolyard Plant Sale at King Middle School on Saturday May 10 was probably the best ever in terms of raising funds for the nonprofit, according to its director, Katrina Heron.
The annual event, one of Berkeley's favorites on the community calendar, offered a chance to stock up on herbs, perennials and flowers, enjoy oven-fired pizza, pick up some gardening advice, and take student-guided tours of the garden.
Organizers were disappointed when they showed up early on Saturday, however, to find that some plants and compost had been stolen from the garden, and some of its sunflowers had been beheaded. Fortunately, Heron said, it wasn't a significant amount and the sale went on to be hugely successful. The tally had yet to be done at the time of writing.
Contributing photographer Nancy Rubin was there to document the day. … Continue reading »

Berkeley School Board set to vote on slashed budget for cooking and gardening program
UPDATE, March 27: As expected, the Berkeley Unified School Board last night voted to commit $485,000 for the coming year to its gardening program, under the terms outlined it the proposal that called for gardening classes for pre-kindergarten through grade 7. [See the full proposal on the BUSD Board meeting agenda packet, starting on page 54.] Commenting on the move, Martin Bourque, executive director of the Ecology Center, said Berkeley was showing leadership in finding money from its budget for the pioneering program after losing nearly $2 million in federal funding. "Who else is stepping up like that on their own dime?" he said. "Berkeley is leading the way."
ORIGINAL STORY: For the past few months the Berkeley school district has been struggling along with funding for its beloved cooking and gardening program. After some back-and-forth on proposals this winter, the board is now expected to vote March 26 to approve very reduced funding for gardening classes only in the 2014-15 school year.
Supporters – teachers, students and parents – pleaded with the school board at its March 12 meeting not to make further cuts to the cooking and gardening classes, which lost an annual $1.9 million in federal funding last fall. The program is already operating on less than half its former budget this year – about $850,000 — with bridge funds. Next year's budget would be under $500,000.
"This has been a very difficult process for all of us," Superintendent Donald Evans said. "This is a nationally recognized program. But that was when we had $2 million. We can no longer retain that type of program." … Continue reading »
Jamie Oliver visits Edible Schoolyard with Alice Waters
Jamie Oliver, aka the Naked Chef, who is probably best known in the U.S. for his Food Revolution TV series, visited the Edible Schoolyard at King School in Berkeley today. His host was Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters who spearheaded the creation of the internationally renowned edible program at the middle school, and founded the nonprofit Edible Schoolyard Project.
Oliver, British and originally a chef — whose empire now encompasses books, television shows, partnerships with major grocery chains, and restaurants — is also well known for his efforts to improve food education at schools. He has met Waters many times, but this was the first time he had visited the Edible Schoolyard which, he said, had inspired much of his work in schools.
"I have looked at Alice's programs and figured out how they can translate to Britain," he said today while observing students engaged in a cookery lesson in King's spacious classroom kitchen. … Continue reading »
Berkeley schools' edible program faces challenges
Berkeley's lauded garden and cooking program, which has helped students learn to plant radishes and cook kale for the past 14 years, was struck a severe blow in October when it lost the majority of its $1.9 million in federal funding. The program in 19 schools has cobbled together a $700,000 budget for this year through a one-time federal grant, funds from the Berkeley Unified School District, and loans and donations. But the program needs to develop new sources of revenue.
The school district recently hired Jezra Thompson to oversee the Gardening and Cooking Program, and one of her first tasks is to generate excitement about a year-long fundraising push which begins Tues. Nov 12 at A Taste of North Berkeley. From 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m, more than 20 stores and restaurants in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto will offer food and craft samples. Tickets cost $30 and all the proceeds will go to the BUSD Gardening and Cooking Program.
In advance of the event, Berkeleyside interviewed Thompson about the gardening and cooking program and the challenges it faces. … Continue reading »

Go HERE for the finalists.
My favourite…
He will be missed.
My favourite song, of many favourites, sung by my favourite chanteuse.
What can I say about these four books that hasn't already been said?
Not much as it turns out.
Well, a certain amount of much-ness. They're brilliant. They're frustrating.
I read the first two voraciously, cover-to-cover, immersed in the texture of Elena Ferrante's prose. The last two I skimmed.
I waited for the structure of the story to emerge … then I remembered why I don't read books in this genre very often.
With a certain amount of frustration, I uncharitably concluded at the end of the four books, that the story could've been done in two. Traditional 'literature' just isn't my thing.
So why did I persevere?
I wanted to know how the story ended, which it didn't, have an ending, I mean. And I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Now I know.
If this genre is your thing, you'll love the Neapolitan Novels, if not? Maybe like me you'll appreciate them for what they are.

I didn't realize she'd left us until today. Her stories challenged me to think outside the box … and I did.

Well, I've finally finished the first draft rewrite, and to everyone who read the original, and said nice things about it, I thank you. You were very kind.
Truth is, what the publisher released was no better than a first draft, a worst NaNoWriMo first draft than could ever be imagined. Well, OK, not the worst, but you get my drift. I tried, politely, to get things changed, but all too soon the publisher stopped answering my emails.
Funny thing is, I could never read it through once it was published. I'd come to the first bunch of typos, or the paragraphs that made no sense, and I'd cringe and put it down. I thought this was just me being 'precious'.
I half-heartedly promoted it, as you are supposed to do, but I always felt like I had to apologise first. I thought this was me being a shy Libran.
But I was neither of those things. I was certainly naive, but we all are at the beginning. In the intervening six-ish years I learned my craft, the business and the art of it, and waited out my contract.
And here we are, at the second beginning of my writing career. This time I'm doing it for myself!
Remember this?
Herewith be Part I, Part II, Part III
These tales are sad. It was a sadness that was part of the truth the forest around us. So much is written about the beauty and grandeur of the woods, but there's so little that reflects the great losses the trees suffer, which I suppose is why these stories came to me.
Her name was Kerpy and she started life many long years ago as a tiny threadling, a mere wisp of lichen, attached to the topmost twig of the tallest pine tree in the little glade. Of course, back then her tree wasn't the tallest. As it grew, so did she. When her tree reached it's prime and really was the tallest in the glade, she was as plump and green as a lichen could get.
Many seasons passed and she and her tree shared many stories and laughed with the chittering squirrels that came up every summer to harvest the pine cones.
One fine blustery day, the wind brought news of a plague coming across the mountains and up the valleys from the south. Her tree prepared as best it could, and Kerpy sent as much energy and thoughts as she could spare through her branch to help in the fight.
Perhaps her efforts helped, because it seemed like the plague passed through the valley, leaving the glade, and her tree, untouched. Then one day she noticed one of the low branches, so long that it almost brushed the ground, had lost its needles. They were scattered across the forest floor, all dry and empty of life.
She twisted around and saw that other branches low down were looking ill as well.
She sent her thoughts to the tree and asked what was happening. The tree sadly swayed in the breeze, and in her heart, she knew.
At first she ranted and raged at the tree, telling it to fight, to push the invaders from its body, to stem the flow of its lifeblood from the wounds the beetles left behind. It was battling the invader the best it knew how, so she hung from her branch and sent more energy, but one day, a bright summers day, she felt her tree succumb.
Her grief tore at her, but what could she do? She was only one piece of lichen at the top of a dying tree.
Winter came and Kerpy closed her mind and her senses. Perhaps the cold would kill the invader.
Winter passed and the next summer too, a cool one, and she wondered if her tree might be one of the lucky few to survive.
The plague was halfway up the trunk when that first branch to lose its needles, the lowest one, cracked and fell away.
Lichens live for a very long time, and Kerpy knew she'd survive a fall from her tree and then spread her threadings across the ground until they reached another tree, but it didn't seem right somehow, to leave her friend. So she stayed with her tree as the plague beetles rose up, up its trunk, sucking the life out of it.
Kerpy and her tree had long conversations that lasted for months at a time. They told each other stories of old things, and green growing things, and rocks and rain, and snow. Her tree was glad of the company, but there came a time when it withdrew, and faded away.
She was alone.
Death crept along the topmost branch, her branch, but it wasn't going to get her, not yet.
She wafted back and forth in the breeze, loosening her anchor to the branch.
A beetle crept closer, its nasty clacking mandibles snipping at the dead bark seeking a soft spot to burrow in and lay its eggs.
Kerpy broke free and floated down to the branch below her. It too was dead, but she hung there, pirouetting in the wind, Celebrating the long, long life of her tree.
From branch to branch she went, around and around, closer to the ground with each branch, remembering every moment of her life, of her tree's life.
She danced and she laughed, and put every bit of her spirit into her stories. The wind blew her about and carried her stories away to the other trees and animals and plants of the forest.
It took her many long weeks to finally reach the lowest branch on the tree. She was tired and withered, but she was satisfied.
It was time to fall.
The wind gently shook her free, for she was fragile and dried out. It dropped her to the forest floor among the rustling needles that had fallen from her tree. She snuggled down into them and sent out tiny tendrils of her essence into the soft cool earth.
The last thing she felt as she surrendered her Self to the Cycle of Life was a giant crash that shook the whole glade.
Her tree had fallen.
