Harriet Reading Series: Kenneth Goldsmith
Friday, December 16th, 7:00 PM
Poetry Foundation
61 West Superior Street
Free admission, reception to follow
Poet, DJ, essayist, and UbuWeb founder Kenneth Goldsmith presents "My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution," a talk about poetic community, ambition, and his new book Uncreative Writing. Goldsmith's work questions the role of the singular poetic genius in the Information Age with what critic Marjorie Perloff calls "poetry by other means." This poetry does not produce anthology-ready gems of personal observation, but focused moments of attention on found information, such as, in his book Traffic, transcripts of traffic reports from one holiday weekend in New York. Goldsmith performed at the White House in May 2011 alongside Billy Collins, Allison Knowles, Common, and Jill Scott as part of the second White House Poetry Jam. He teaches at University of Pennsylvania where he works with the Kelly Writers' House and the Center for Programs in Creative Writing.

Be[com]ing DutchThe Exhibition
Be(com)ing Dutch is unusual in the Netherlands because it takes on an outright political and social subject and translates it into artistic terms. Since 2006, when the Van Abbemuseum was awarded a prize that made it possible to turn our existing ideas into reality, the discussion in the Netherlands about who we are, where we come from, where we are heading and about our norms and values in a globalising world has become even more topical and urgent. The long term planning allowed the museum to talk with people at length and to organise major public discussions such as the Eindhoven Caucus. Now it is the turn of artists, many of whom have participated in all the stages of Be(com)ing Dutch, to show you what they have found. Twenty one of the thirty seven artists have conceived new works for the exhibition, guided by three broad directional themes: 'Imaginary Past', ' Imaginary Present' and 'Imaginary Future'. Look for more information about the complete Be(com)ing Dutch project at www.becomingdutch.com.

About the Property
1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps up to 4)
The Lite House is located at the far end of the subdivision, with sparsely scattered neighbors. It is touched on three sides by a fifty-seven year-old lava flow, which is now Hawaii State land as is all land newly formed by lava on the Island. There is nothing between the Lite House and the ocean but expansive lava field and horizon-to-horizon open sky. This combination allows for both unobstructed refreshing trade winds and exceptional privacy within this subdivision. It also showcases spectacular, panoramic sunrises and star gazing. Prior to the 1960 lava flow, the Lite House property was ocean-front. You might say that it is still an 'ocean-front' property, but now it's a quarter mile walk to reach the rugged shoreline (scroll down to see revealing satellite photos). The occasional dramatic crashing wave can be seen and heard from inside the Lite House.
From the Lite House, you can see the Cape Kumukahi Lighthouse in the distance. Its faint beacon adds nighttime charm while it monitors the cleanest air in the northern hemisphere blowing in from off the ocean. These pleasant trade winds are almost always present, and come right through the house when you have the doors and windows open. Enjoy being outside, any time, and with no mosquitoes! At night, the sound of occasional Coqui frogs is a distant and mild serenade.
Champagne Pond, the secluded, geothermally- heated cove exclusive to this subdivision, is a 4- minute walk from the cottage. Here you can snorkel with the sea turtles and fish, or simply float around on the calm, exceptionally clean and clear water. Serious lap swimmers have also found Champagne Pond to be quite suitable.
In the adjacent neighborhood are the Kapoho Tide Pools (aka the Wai'Opae Marine Preserve), known for world-class snorkeling. We provide basic snorkel gear and boogie boards for your use.
If you enjoy bicycling, we make two bikes available to explore this scenic area. The terrain is mostly level, and with very little traffic. Kapoho Beach is a very bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly community. The marine preserve is about a fifteen-minute bicycle ride from the house, or you may drive to the parking area and then walk the last quarter of a mile to it.
Note: We did not design this nice little house, but we named it the 'Lite House' because it is best suited for normal-size folks. Consequently, we regret that it may not be comfortable for 'extra-plus' sized guests.

The Lite House is in Kapoho's private gated community, 29 miles from the Hilo International Airport. It is a 4- minute walk to Champagne Pond for floating/swimming/snorkeling with vegetarian sea turtles. Kapoho Beach and Kapoho Bay are also worth exploring and are a 10 minute walk across the lava. Wai'Opae Marine Preserve (aka Kapoho Tide Pools), with fabulous snorkeling, is a short bike ride or drive (2 bikes included for your use). The entrance to Volcanoes National Park is 40 miles, the lava flow viewing area is approximately 20 miles from the cottage, and Lava Tree Park is 7 miles. The historic town of Pahoa is 10 miles away, and Hilo (the Big Island's largest town) is 25 miles. Once outside the gated subdivision, take scenic coastal drives both north and south.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: I (Diane) am a kindergarten teacher having just retired. My husband, Richard, and I are looking forward to spending some quiet-time in Kapoho! We have family there, and look forward to when we can see each other any time we want, just by hopping on our bicycles. And I can't wait to take my air mattress down to Champagne Pond every day and float in the lovely, warm water with the turtles!
Why the Owner Chose Kapoho, Puna District, HI, USA:
We love the constant, pleasant climate of Kapoho, with its famously clean air. Additionally, mosquitoes have had a unrequited lifelong love affair with Richard, so their absence at this particular home's location especially appealed to him! And we enjoy the fact that the location is so peaceful, and with such privacy.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
- New and luxurious - All new furnishings - Privacy and Quiet 24/7 - Borders state land on three sides, ocean view - Ocean-front property before the 1960 lava flow - Almost always a cooling breeze coming in - No Mosquitoes - No loud frogs - 3-4 minute walk to Champagne Pond - Bicycles, snorkel gear, and boogie-boards provided

The Healthiest Ways To Fly With Your Family
(BlackDoctor.org) — Traveling with your family can be a great opportunity for some healthy fun…or a complete health disaster.
The difference? Looking beyond appearances.
Despite the appearance of most airports–a plethora of fast foods, snacks and lots of sitting around–flights and airports offer plenty of nutritious food and opportunity for activity, if you know where to look.
• Make sure everyone eats a healthy meal before you arrive. You'll be less likely to munch on high-calorie snacks just because they're around or you're bored.
• If eating in an airport, it's worth it to spend the time searching out healthy foods. Look for salads, fresh fruit, vegetable-based soups, and baked chicken.

New companions
Desmond Stopped the oversized blade from killing the wizard. First off What the hell is an underwizard. 2 I never seem to get along with any wizards except Gorad and that's only because Gorad isn't an arragant fool. Torren thought. Desmond muttered something about teamwork and being dead. Torren considered attacking the warrior , but before he acted on it. He decided it would be better to work with him. For now. He sheathed his blade on his back. The Wizard also backed off.
" Okay." Torren says. He turned around to the gargoyle who was still muttering about mount Massive many beasts
"Ah none of them are that bad compared to the Beasty I saw." Torren said.
" And that was?" The Gargolye asked unbelieving
" You've heard of the beast of the deep , and caves?" he continued
His muttering stopped and if Gargolyes eyes could go wide his would have.
" Yeah, we should be fine." He said taking notice of the wood elf and Desmond.
Both probably unargueably most skillfull on this type of mission. Torron on the otherhand rarely brought anything back alive. Only that crazy Immortal except he had to bring him back in pieces. Begining to lose interest on setting up Becuase His bag of food and my supplies were ready for the trip. So he decided to practice his control over magic making a small orb of energy that must not release and must stay between his hands. The ultimate goal was to get it to 5 feet in diameter. But He usally failed at 2 feet though.

Hard Core Black Duck Decoys can turn an average run of the mill hunt into a unique experience if you get some Black Ducks to come on in. These decoys give you an advantage that competitors can't touch and they are king when it comes to bringing in birds. The amazing detail from the work of two world class carvers add the texture and detail needed to bring them from realistic to the real thing. They look like they could jump at any time. The durable paint and polymers combined with the WhaleTail keel bring this decoy to life in any breeze, or lack there of.

Comic hair salon
I came from Poland, but now I'm beginning a new life in my beloved city of Barcelona.
I am a young and enthusiastic illustrator, but experienced.
My name is Monika Suska, and I'm very proud to call myself an illustrator.
It is not only my job but my biggest passion. As a reading addict, my favorite illustration work is picture books.
Working on different types of projects is always a great adventure for me.
My illustrations are usually made with acrylic colour on paper, sometimes with some final touches added in Photoshop.
I don't consider the computer evil; I just prefer traditional techniques over digital painting.
I haven't been an illustrator for long, but I've already done picture books for publishers such as DragonPencil and Maverick Children's Books. Also, I create illustrations and conceptions for 3D characters for the Polish music project, Nie Wiem Kto.
I'm always open tonew illustration adventures!

A lady in the woods, made for a web site background, digital technique
I'm fond of the fantasy world, fairy tales and magic, and my art reflects all of this.
My name is Giulia, I'm 26 and I live in Padua, Italy and I'd like to say, first of all: sorry for my English!
Since I was a little child I've always imagined I was going to be a singer, but as the years went by my passion for drawing grew stronger, and being a book illustrator became my new life dream.
I graduated at the University of Padua, studying literature and theatre and meanwhile, as a student, selling my drawings to friends and people who came to know me by them. In fact a tradition of Padua is that every time a student graduates, his friends and relatives make a drawing of him, an ironic portrait full of all his passions, strengths and weaknesses, and this kind of drawing is one of the best chances I've had to become familiar with pencil, body shapes, shadows and lights; I did a lot of practice, even though I didn't attend any kind of painting school.
In these last years I've discovered the fascinating world of digital painting, Photoshop firstly; I also love working with paper, watercolours and pencils.
I've never auditioned for a book illustrator job; I've mainly auditioned for toy characters design jobs and background website designs jobs, but I believe that there is not much difference in approach: I'm always willing to do both sketches and complete illustrations as long as the requests don't get out of hand!

Arty's art of illustration
Hi there!
My name is George Nazlis, and for more than 12 years I have been working as a freelance graphic artist and illustrator.
Recently I have been engaged in children's book illustration and layout design, and I have been fascinated not only by the artistic approach but by the liberty an artist experiences in this process.
My goal is to do more work in this field; that is why I'm seeking out prospects for collaboration here.
I enjoy making art and never tire of it. I get a lot of inspiration from my own children; they keep the child in me alive.
Because of my graphics experience, I am able to design the illustrations alongside a book's layout - combining graphic elements (text, page number, frames etc.) with the illustrations themselves in a continuous composition, then delivering a final product for the printshop.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Imaginary landscapes, fantasy backgrounds and cute stuff
If you look at most children's books, you'll probably notice that not many artists include background scenery in their creations. Illustrators usually focus their attention on the characters, many disregarding entirely the worlds where these same characters live.
There are hundreds of books with amazing illustrations depicting their story's hero, but since I was a kid, I always felt cheated when the imaginary world surrounding my hero was absent. What I always wanted to see was great pictures of the fantasy land described in the story; not many books had them.
That´s when I decided to start creating my own imaginary geographies, and more than twenty-five years later I´m still doing them. In fact although I love to illustrate characters, I have to say that backgrounds are my most favorite part of a picture.
So...if you have a really nice book that needs some cute colorful characters, and you also need someone to put to paper their unique and wonderful environment, please consider hiring me to do just that!
I started illustrating professionaly back in 1992, and since then i´ve never stopped. Mostly i did work internaly inside my own country (i live and work from the south of Portugal), but i´ve been slowly expanding my craft outside my boundaries and that is the reason i´m here.
I work mainly in traditional media, like watercolors, acrylics and color pencils, but i don´t mind creating pics in digital when a client requests it, so let me know if you have a project that can fit my style and i´m sure we can work around your budget no matter what it is.
My rates vary depending on the amount of work, type of illustration, level of detail and all sorts of variables, so give me details about what you need and let´s talk. ;)

Iron Bonehead Productions
Temple Below - The Dark Goddess 12"
Released by Iron Bonehead Productions. More info from the label: IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a special 12" MLP from TEMPLE BELOW entitled The Dark Goddess. A pan-international entity spanning South America and Europe, TEMPLE BELOW brand their music "Black Magic Metal of Death" and appropriately summon sulfurous atmosphere and bestial madness, their sound brimming with gnarling violence and in-the-red hysteria. With four years between releases, TEMPLE BELOW are not ones to rush things, and that patience to their black-magick craft pays off with The Dark Goddess: three tracks of gibbering, pulsing possession occasionally stretched to epic ends and one haunting soundscape of evil entrantment, all as it should be and in demonic harmony, altogether creating a Lovecrafting landscape of nameless horrors and eldritch energy. This is all ably backed up by rich 'n' ominous tri-fold cover art, hand-painted by Daniel Corcuera/Nekronikon. Barbaric black/death imbued with occultic power, The Dark Goddess smiles upon the devout...

Eko Nova
KANEKO | 1111 Jones St
KANEKO is collaborating with the Omaha Chamber Music Society and artistic director John Klinghammer to create an exciting music performance series entitled Eko Nova.
The fourth performance in the Eko Nova series will be held Monday, May 2, from 7 – 8 p.m. at KANEKO. Tickets are $15, or $10 for KANEKO members, seniors, and students. Click 'Register Now' to purchase.
Dancing in Chains
Our fourth Eko Nova concert, "Dancing in Chains", has as its centerpiece a true masterwork by composer David Bruce entitled "Gumboots." Bruce draws his title and inspiration from Gumboot Dancing, a tradition born out of the brutal labor conditions of South Africa under Apartheid, where black miners were chained together and wore wellington boots while they worked in the flooded gold mines. We also feature the extraordinary gem that is Bela Bartok's third string quartet, a complex, adventurous masterpiece with dance-like folk melodies of its own. And Caroline Shaw's "Entr'acte" is a perfect opener for any Eko Nova concert – a 21st century exploration of music for string quartet in the style of Franz Joseph Haydn. Kansas City Symphony musicians Sunho Kim, Stephanie Cathcart, Philip Kramp, and Maria Crosby are joined by Eko Nova artistic director and clarinetist John Klinghammer in this joyful finale to Eko Nova's first season.
Eko Nova is made possible through generous support from the Nebraska Arts Council and Carolyn & David Diamond. Eko Nova was also supported by New Music USA. To follow the project as it unfolds, visit the project page:https://www.newmusicusa.org/projects/eko-nova-premiere-season/

"NCR is committed to helping our customers protect their customers," said Poul Laursen, Software Engineering Director for payments and enterprise fraud at NCR Financial Services.

Tiger Woods' (FSY) extraordinary apology on Friday is the first step toward healing the image of Tiger the man. But Tiger the advertiser still has a long way to go to recover the corporate good will he has squandered.
Marketing experts say rebuilding Tiger Inc. will be possible only when he returns to the golf course. His televised apology left the timing of that in doubt — though he didn't rule out coming back this year.
That leaves marketers waiting.
"I don't think anyone would want to rush out for someone, who by his own words, says he still needs treatment," said Rick Burton, former chief marketing officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee and now a sports marketing professor at Syracuse University.
Woods' statement was a necessary first step, said Vada Manager, who worked in public relations for Nike for 12 years before leaving to start his own company.
TIGER TALKS: Apology, but no word on return
TRANSCRIPT: Tiger Woods' statement
BODY LANGUAGE: OK but needed more emotion
MESSAGE: Woods keeps tight control
"It would have been difficult for him to return to golf without that happening today," Manager said.
The statement, he said, included the essential ingredients: A sincere public apology, accountability for his personal behavior and a prescription for how it would be remedied.
"Winning, good behavior and time can be his friends in the long term," Manager said.
Woods' strength as an advertiser was tied to the perception of athleticism, power and integrity people once associated with him, marketing experts say. Now, his value lies almost solely in his strength as a golfer.
The companies that have stuck most closely by Woods, Nike Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. — which have invested specifically in his athleticism — reiterated their support on Friday.
Peter Moore, president of EA Sports, said the company's long-standing relationship with Woods remains unchanged.
"It was good to see Tiger address the public today, and we're supportive of his focus toward family and rebuilding his life," Moore said in a statement. "He remains one of the greatest athletes in history, and as a long-standing partner, we look forward to seeing Tiger back on the golf course when the time is right for him and his family."
EA's Tiger Woods-branded video games have pulled in hundreds of millions of dollars for the company over the years.
Nike continued its support of the player that it built its roughly $650 million golf business around.
"Tiger has apologized and made his position clear. Nike fully supports him and his family. We look forward to him returning to golf," the company said in a written statement.
AT&T Inc. and Accenture dropped Woods completely in the weeks following the revelations. Others, such as Procter & Gamble Co.'s Gillette and Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer, de-emphasized him in their marketing.
Accenture spokesman Fred Hawrysh said the company had no comment about the announcement other than to say Woods' acknowledgment of the fact that the announcement took place at the same time as the Accenture Match Play Championship was "a gracious gesture."
The golf star's array of endorsement deals helped him become the first sports star to earn $1 billion — outpacing the likes of Michael Jordan— according to Forbes.
Ultimately, Woods still has to fix his personal problems before he can rebuild his brand, said John Sweeney, director of sports communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
"This is about himself, and that world is on hold," Sweeney said.

Chapter 8
Elitha embraced her daughter with watering eyes, holding her close, feeling her warmth. She could only think of the times so many years ago she had held the same girl in her arms. Once so small, a bundle against her chest; a little face of light and laughter, full of a youthful wonder with the world. Now she stood before her - a woman, a Queen-to-be.
Cassandra pulled back slightly, looking into her mother's face, so full of affection, incredible sadness, an agony she could only minutely understand. She couldn't help more tears. Though unknowing that this would be the last glimpse of her beloved mother, her heart felt pain, fear. She was a baby bird leaping from the security, the certainties, of the nest, from the protection of her mother's wing. Elitha saw her fright, the wide child's eyes in a woman's face, a beautiful, mature face, and took her own hand, placing it gently on the side of Cassandra's head. I have much to regret in my life. Do not be like me, she thought to herself, hoping, praying, but not speaking.
It was not long before time forced them to separate, and both swallowed their tears as Cassandra moved before her Father, who bowed formally, stiffly, before her. She gave a graceful curtsy herself, meeting his cold eyes, his unforgiving expression. He nodded, a glimmer of approval, of pride, but not of feeling.
Cassandra continued down the line of people awaiting her formal, final, farewells. There was an obvious hole where her governess would stand, but the distinguished Lady Edwina would be there to receive her in Navarn, a familiar, friendly face, and had already departed.
After all was done, she stepped away, looking at her parents before her. Her mother was crying again and Cassandra couldn't stop herself from embracing the Queen once more. Elitha gave a quick burst of a sob, before stifling it, her hands shaking as the two finally pulled apart for a second time. Her heart was ripping.
The Princess smiled through her turbulence of emotion, acknowledging her father once more before before she turned her back to the palace steps, the towers, her family, her past, and to the waiting carriage, her future. She swallowed a big gulp of air, as if preparing to dive into an icy pool of water, and stepped forward, grabbing the grand, ceremonious gown around her as she was handed gracefully into her chariot.
The coachman slowly closed the door. Cassandra looked through the thin glass pane - her mother was hidden away in a hankerchief, her facade completely shattered, while her father stood, statuesque, and offered a surprisingly warm arm to wrap around his weeping wife.
With a lash of the horses, the carriage jerked forward, turning down the sweeping lane. As they passed by the stables, she caught sight of a figure atop the wide roof, waving wildly.
Cassandra laughed through her tears, waving back, hoping to be seen. It could only be Sam.
Good-bye Sam, farewell Mother, Father...farewell Home, everything I have known. My path winds forwards, leads elsewhere.

GAZA, Sep 26 (Reuters) Israel killed nine Palestinians in military operations in the Gaza Strip today and threatened a major ground sweep of the Hamas-run territory to stem cross-border rocket fire.
Five members of the Army of Islam militant group died in an Israeli air strike on their car in Gaza City. In a separate incident, Palestinian witnesses said Israeli shelling killed a gunman and three bystanders in the northern town of Beit Hanoun.
The fighting -- among the bloodiest since Hamas Islamists seized control of Gaza in June -- came hours after militants said they launched more than 12 rockets at the southern Israeli town of Sderot.
Israel sent troops backed by dozens of tanks and armoured bulldozers into Beit Hanoun, a favoured rocket-launching ground, sparking clashes with Hamas and other local gunmen.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said there could soon be a broader sweep in Gaza.
''We are getting closer to carrying out a widespread operation in Gaza which, for many reasons, has not taken place in the past weeks,'' Barak told Israel's Army Radio.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has come under pressure from Sderot residents and right-wing politicians to order a large-scale ground operation in the Gaza Strip.
Several Israeli cabinet ministers have cautioned that such a campaign could lead to heavy casualties among Israeli forces and Palestinians in the densely populated coastal territory where 1.5 million people live.
PEACE CONFERENCE LOOMS An Israeli military push into the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks could also complicate plans for a US-sponsored Middle East peace conference expected to take place in November in the Washington area.
''It must be clear that an operation of this type is not simple, not in terms of the forces and the amount of time which we will have to stay there or in terms of the operational challenges which the troops will have to meet,'' Barak said.
In Beit Hanoun, witnesses said Israeli shells struck the home of a Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) gunman, killing him and three other occupants, all non-combatants. One of the dead was a boy, medical officials said.
The incident came shortly after the PRC gunman fired at Israeli troops, witnesses said. An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was checking the report.
Asked about the air strike in Gaza City, the military spokeswoman said it targeted an Army of Islam cell that was transporting rockets to launch areas.
Palestinian security sources confirmed that the dead were from Army of Islam, a shadowy faction which, along with Hamas and another armed group, abducted an Israeli soldier in a June 2005 border raid.
Last week, Israel declared Gaza an ''enemy entity'' in response to frequent rocket fire -- which rarely causes deaths but has a powerful impact on life along the border -- and said it would reduce fuel and power supplies to the territory.
It has yet to take such actions, which UN officials and human rights groups have said would violate international law pertaining to occupied territories.
Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005 after 38 years of occupation. Palestinians say the territory is still effectively under occupation because Israel controls its borders, waters and airspace. Israel disputes this.

Oil return line location
A couple friends and I are installing Tom's turbo kit in his ZX3 and we came across a bit of a problem with the oil return line. With the location of the down pipe, there's no way to go around it and not have the line dip below the bung in the oil pan. The only way we could get it to work is to install it like so:
Does anyone have pictures of how they ran their oil return with Tom's kit? I don't like the idea of running the oil return and it actually making contact with the down pipe.
from the pics ive seen on toms website, he runs it on the other side of the downpipe, but then it seems like the line is very flat, with hardly any angle on it..
from toms site
i dont like how the line dips personally
Yeah thats kind of the problem we were dealing with. We could run it the way we have it against the down pipe, or the way tom has it and then make it dip. Personally I think we'd be better off heat wrapping the downpipe and stainless line to reduce friction and heat and running it that way.
i know belacyrf on FJ had some crazy fire coating on his oil line that was *i think* supose to sheild off something like 1500 degrees of constant temp, i could be wrong about the temp though
edit: here is a pic of it, ill search for the info if you want it
ive heard of many people tapping into the girdle right below the turbo

Sir Cliff Richard has pulled out of a ceremony where he would have been handed the keys to his adopted Portuguese home city because of ongoing police investigation into allegations of sexual abuse.
The veteran pop star was due to be handed the keys of Albufeira – the city's highest civic honour – but decided over the weekend that he should pull out of Wednesday's ceremony.
Meanwhile fans have been showing their support by buying copies of his 1992 Number 7 hit I Still Believe in You, which is less than 500 copies off the Top 40. Midweek sales figures released by the Official Charts Company put the track at number 43 today.
The singer's Berkshire apartment was searched by officers from South Yorkshire and Thames Valley police last week as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault on a young boy at a religious event in 1985.
Richard, who was in Portugal when the search took place, has firmly denied any wrongdoing. It is understood that the 73-year-old did not want the allegation to overshadow the event in Albufeira as other local individuals and organisations were also set to receive awards.
Sir Cliff bought his first villa on the edge of Albufeira in 1961. He tends to spend most of the summer in Portugal, flying out after Wimbledon and usually staying until September.
His current home is the third villa he has owned in the area, and is located in the small town of Guia.Sir Cliff announced yesterday that he was pulling out of a charity event at Canterbury Cathedral on 26 September 26, with his spokesman saying the star "doesn't want the event to be overshadowed by the false allegation and has therefore withdrawn".
Fellow showbiz veteran Cilla Black has rallied to his defence saying she thinks allegations that he sexually assaulted a boy in the 1980s are "without foundation".
In a statement, Cilla Black said: "Cliff is a very close friend of mine and has been for a million years.
"I, like everyone else, was shocked to hear of these allegations and I am absolutely positive that they are without foundation."
The raid on the pop star's penthouse caused controversy when the BBC broke news of the search, with a film crew reportedly arriving on the scene before the police.
The corporation's director-general Tony Hall and chief constable of South Yorkshire Police David Crompton will face a grilling by an inquiry by MPs over the affair, and the force's police and crime commissioner has launched an independent review of what happened.
Mr Crompton and Lord Hall have been warned to stand ready to give evidence to the Hhome Aaffairs Sselect Ccommittee (HASC) after Pparliament returns from recess.
Committee chairman Keith Vaz has written to both men asking a series of questions about how the BBC found out about the planned search, and asked them to reply by midday on Friday.

Pro-Abortion Groups Make Me Sick
When did infanticide become an issue of women's rights?
Consider the news report about the judge finding the misnamed Partial Birth Abortion ban unconstitutional:
Judge Revokes Partial-Birth Abortion Ban, by Larry Neumeister.A federal judge declared the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act unconstitutional because it does not contain an exception to protect a woman's health, something the Supreme Court said is required in laws prohibiting types of abortion.
U.S. District Judge Richard C. Casey issued his ruling Thursday _ the second such ruling in three months _ even as he called the procedure "gruesome, brutal, barbaric and uncivilized."
The law, signed last November, banned a procedure known to doctors as intact dilation and extraction and called partial-birth abortion by abortion foes. The fetus is partially removed from the womb, and the skull is punctured or crushed.
Note that the judge calls the procedure "gruesome, brutal, barbaric and uncivilized". (I think it very, very telling that the judge should find that somehow such an action is protected by the United States Constitution.) Exactly why does he say that? Well, let's look at the procedure more closely:
Nothing Hidden in D&X by Gregory Koukl.I refer now to a description from Dr. Martin Haskell's own instruction manual, "Dilation and Extraction for Late Second Trimester Abortion." It was included in presentation materials of the National Abortion Federation (notice this is a powerful, pro-abortion organization), entitled "Second Trimester Abortion: From Every Angle," pages 30-31. This material was distributed at the NAF Fall Risk Management Seminar, held September 13-14, 1992, in Dallas, Texas.
"The surgeon introduces a large grasping forceps, such as a Bierer or Hern, through the vaginal and cervical canals into the corpus of the uterus.... When the instrument appears on the sonogram screen, the surgeon is able to open and close its jaws to firmly and reliably grasp a lower extremity. The surgeon then applies firm traction to the instrument causing aversion of the fetus (if necessary) and pulls the extremity into the vagina....
"With a lower extremity in the vagina, the surgeon uses his fingers to deliver the opposite lower extremity, then the torso, the shoulders and the upper extremities.
"The skull lodges at the internal cervical [opening]....The fetus is oriented dorsum or spine up. At this point, the right-handed surgeon slides the fingers of the left hand along the back of the fetus and 'hooks' the shoulders of the fetus with the index and ring fingers (palm down)....
"While maintaining this tension, lifting the cervix and applying traction to the shoulders with the fingers of the left hand, the surgeon takes a pair of blunt curved Metzenbaum scissors in the right hand. He carefully advances the tip, curved down, along the spine and under his middle finger until he feels it contact the base of the skull under the tip of his middle finger.
"...The surgeon then forces the scissors into the base of the skull or into foramen magnum. Having safely entered the skull, he spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening.
"The surgeon removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into this hole and evacuates the skull contents. With the catheter still in place, he applies traction to the fetus, removing it completely from the patient."
This procedure is almost never done before viability.[4] By Haskell's own admission, two thirds of the children are still alive when he "forces the scissors into the base of the skull." He adds, "When I do the instrumentation on the skull [thrusting the scissors into the cranium]...it destroys the brain sufficiently so that even if it (the fetus) falls out at that point, it's definitely not alive."[5]
"Gruesome, brutal, barbaric and uncivilized" are unstatements. This procedure is as bad as any that has ever, ever been practiced in the name of medicine. Our Congress agreed and they passed a very, very sensible bill to try to ban this procedure. So, what do the pro-choice (actually, pro-abortion) advocates say?
Rebekah Warren, executive director MARAL Pro-Choice Michigan, said the ruling sets a good precedent for planned lawsuits that will challenge the Legal Birth Definition Act, which was passed this summer by the Michigan Legislature. "We're very pleased with the ruling, and we're gratified that the judge has ruled unconstitutional this ban, (which) did not protect women's health," Warren said.
But does it, in fact, not take the health of the woman into account? This question has already been decided by Congress. Here is the exact text of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 related to this issue:
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.Rather than being an abortion procedure that is embraced by the medical community, particularly among physicians who routinely perform other abortion procedures, partial-birth abortion remains a disfavored procedure that is not only unnecessary to preserve the health of the mother, but in fact poses serious risks to the long-term health of women and in some circumstances, their lives. As a result, at least 27 States banned the procedure as did the United States Congress which voted to ban the procedure during the 104th, 105th, and 106th Congresses.
In other words, Congress had a series of Congressional hearings on this issue and has already decided the question of whether partial birth abortion is medically necessary. Answer: It isn't. Never. Not ever. No, no, no. Yet, this judge listens to some physician who has a different idea about the necessity of infanticide than the vast, vast majority of the physicians in this country who is brought in as an expert, and the judge finds that the law is unconstitutional on that basis. Unbelievable!
I am sickened by people who support this procedure. I am sickened by the lies that claim that the procedure is needed for the health of the mother when the overwhelming concensus of the medical community is that this procedure is not only unnecessary, but in most instances, is more likely to harm the mother. I am appalled at judges who find that a right to kill an infant is a Constitutional right that cannot be legistlated against. I am sickened by the whole thing.
God help us.
