container2= The Boston Globe%97A Family History Distilled Vibrantly -- Read the article
Part family history, part fiction, Matt Bondurant's somber, engrossing novel, The Wettest County in the World, patches together the legend of his paternal grandfather and uncles, a fearsome trio of bootleggers in rural Prohibition-era Virginia. He's wonderful at evoking historical atmosphere Ń the elaborate stills camouflaged in the woods,the music, the drunken gatherings that explode into shattering violence. %97Entertainment Weekly, 10-24-08
When your entire life is based on a theory that youŐre indestructible, what else can you do but test it?
You have to go back to William FaulknerŐs novels about the Snopes clan to find the kind of cold-blooded Southern amorality that drives Matt BondurantŐs second novel, The Wettest County in the World. Based on the lives of BondurantŐs grandfather Jack and granduncles Forrest and Howard, the story is set in Prohibition-era southern Virginia, where the three brothers manage a thriving moonshine trade. The business doesnŐt get scrutinized too closely by the authorities because it "kept Franklin County relatively solvent and livable. And because they were afraid." With good reason: Early on Bondurant describes, in gruesome detail, Forrest getting his throat slashed, a moment thatŐs all the more fearsome because he survived it.
BondurantŐs prose is thick with the kind of blood-soaked descriptions that would do Cormac McCarthy proud; halfway through, he need only invoke the words "table saw" to make you go pale. Yet Bondurant is too thoughtful and observant a writer to make this simply a redneck Grand Guignol, and the story gets some perspective and literary heft from its fictionalization of novelist Sherwood Anderson, who visited the region in the mid-Ő30s in the hopes of reviving his fading reputation. In an afterword, Bondurant explains the pains he went to to get the facts straight, but ForrestŐs horrid scar is doing the metaphorical work that all good fiction does, gaining resonance with every near-miss that he survives: When your entire life is based on a theory that youŐre indestructible, what else can you do but test it?

Moonshine Brings Misery to Virginia
In the 1930s, Franklin County, Virginia, held a dubious distinction: nearly 100 percent of the population was illegally trading in liquor. Sherwood Anderson called it Ňthe wettest sectionÓ of the United States, positing that even after Prohibition had ended, the moonshine continued to flow. These facts are the starting point for Matt BondurantŐs gritty novel based on the lives of his grandfather and great-uncles, who were notorious bootleggers in Franklin and who also testified in the countyŐs most infamous federal trial. For his fictionalized account, Bondurant listened to family stories and combed through archives, news clippings and court transcripts to get the details, but as he points out in the afterword, it was his job to explore the emotional truths behind the action. Bondurant imagines that the devastating loss of their mother and sisters in the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 had great impact on the Bondurant sonsŃHoward, Forrest and JackŃwho within a decade had become active in the illicit manufacture and transporting of liquor. The novelŐs action sweeps from a violent attack against Forrest in 1928 to an unsolved crime six years later when two men were hospitalized, one castrated, and the other with legs shattered from hip to ankle. The crime attracted the American writer Sherwood Anderson, who came to the area in hopes of writing an article about a mysterious female bootlegger and the upcoming federal trial. Stymied by the overwhelming silence of the community, Anderson took to the county roads, trying to find the Bondurant brothers and break the secrecy surrounding the violence. Bondurant has immersed himself in the sights, smells and sounds of rural Virginia, and the novel has almost a documentary feel. His rich descriptions of the county landscapes and the hardscrabble lives of its inhabitants invoke the small-town streets and struggling characters of AndersonŐs best known novel, Winesburg, Ohio. At the same time, the action builds with the tension of a good thriller. One caveat to the more sensitive reader: The Wettest County in the World is extremely graphic, with multiple descriptions of physical injury, brutality and sadistic behavior. There are tender moments, however, all the more lovely for their infrequency. %97BookPage, October Advance Review
Matt Bondurant, The Wettest County in the World [Scribner]
The Bloody Business of Corn What whiskey makes us remember
After 9/11, sages in the publishing world predicted a further decline in novel reading and an increased interest in nonfiction. The real world was too much for us, now, to fool around with fanciful, made-up stories. Sure enough, among storytelling books, the memoir reigned on high until several of the most successful turned out to be fiction. Or at least fictionalized versions of 'the truth.' Well, good. Fiction's probably a better medium for memoir anyway. Twain declared that Tom Sawyer was all 'true.' Wolfe didn't make much up, did he? My Antonia is an emotional autobiography of Willa Cather's youth. Then there's Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Matt Bondurant's second novel, The Wettest County in The World, openly and happily sits on the fence between these fields. Subtitled, A Novel Based on A True Story, it begins, "The brindled sow stood in the corner, glowering at the boy. Jack Bondurant hefted a bolt-action .22 rifle with a deep blue octagon barrel, the stock chewed and splintered from brush and river stone." Here you have, right away, the rich, flavorful detail, the authority of deeply involved witness, and the presence of Jack Bondurant, the author's grandfather, as the main character. And, of course, the direct, unblinking promise of bloody violence. Bondurant's grandfather and two grand-uncles ran illegal whiskey-white lightnin', moonshine (its makers just called it corn or whiskey)-out of Franklin County, Va., in the 1920s, and were known for the brutal enforcement of their independence and protection of their investments. Matt Bondurant recreates, or I should say largely imagines, the circumstances and events that led to a fatal confrontation between the Bondurant brothers and a corrupt local syndicate bent on controlling all the illegal hooch coming out of the county. In an afterword, Bondurant (The Third Translation, 2005) explains that, starting with family stories and historical record, including the transcript of a well-known trial, he essentially wrote "a parallel history" of these people from his family's past. He had to invent much of it, and says, "My intention was to reach that truth that lies beyond the poorly recorded and understood world of actualities." Jack Bondurant-whom the author knew only as an old, quiet man his family visited a few times each year -- comes alive here as an ambitious young fellow determined to escape his apparent fate as a poor tobacco farmer. Jack's brothers, Howard and Forrest, are complex, violent, taciturn men who, respectively, make and distribute whiskey, bringing Jack into the business when it's obvious he won't stay out. The Bondurant brothers are the crime bosses of Franklin County, until the local Commonwealth Attorney decides to horn in with corrupt lawmen as his enforcers. The ensuing conflict is bloody, murderous and inexorable. A cut throat, a castration, a body broken from head to toe, men shot at close range -- we can assume that these are not necessarily details Bondurant made up, but he recreates them vividly. It's not all grim, though. In one hilarious chapter, "Aunt Winnie" returns home early to find that her house and all its plumbing have been transformed into a still. One of the book's more curious elements is Bondurant's use of Sherwood Anderson, author of the iconic Winesburg, Ohio, as a character. Anderson, who moved to Virginia and bought a couple of local newspapers, provides a pensive outsider's perspective. In some of Bondurant's most wonderfully gloomy, lyrical prose, the author-turned-journalist ruminates on the grim economic forces behind such a booming illegal trade. "It was a never-ending battle to make do with what you already had," he writes, "and when things gave out they literally exploded into red dust." But the real heart of the book is Bondurant's grandfather, Jack, a sensitive young man ill-suited to the violent world of whiskey running, yet determined to escape from a Sisyphean life of back-breaking work with little or no material reward. He won't maim and murder for his reward, but he'll help his brothers do that, without apology. Watching a group of embittered old-timers, he thinks, "They only chew on the cud of their past. That'll never happen to me.... Not to me." It's a remarkable story, one that I suspect Matt Bondurant had to tell, and he's done it beautifully. %97PASTE Magazine, November Issue
Starred Review
This fictionalized tale of Depression-era bootlegging from Bondurant (The Third Translation) enlists the help of Winesburg, Ohio author Sherwood Anderson to investigate Bondurant family lore. In 1928, a pair of thieves accost Bondurant's real life great-uncle Forrest at his Franklin County, Va., restaurant. They're after a large cache of bootlegging money and end up cutting Forrest's throat. The story of his survival and his trek to a hospital 12 miles away has taken on mythical proportions by the time Sherwood Anderson arrives in Franklin County in 1934 to research a magazine piece on the area's prolific moonshiners. Soon after Anderson's arrival, two anonymous men appear at the same hospital, one with legs "meticulously shattered" from ankle to hip, the other one castrated, with the by-products of the deed deposited in a jar of moonshine. The arc of the story lies between the attack on Forrest and that on the two men. Bondurant endows his gritty story with all the puzzle-solving satisfactions of a mystery. It's a gripping, relentless tale, delivered in no-nonsense prose. (Oct.) %97Publishers Weekly, 6/9/2008
This family saga follows the Bondurants, bootlegging brothers runnin' stills, runnin' loads, and runnin' from the law in Depression-era Virginia. The book is mainly narrated through the experience of the youngest Bondurant, Jack (in truth, a grandfather of the author), and his family's moonshine enterprise supplies the action in a plot that evokes the culture of distilling and distributing white lightning. To optimistic Jack, bootlegging is both a bond to his older brothers, Forrest and Howard, and a means to make cash to impress a girl. Forrest, by contrast, is taciturn and suspicious: the world is violent, and he meets it on that ground. Tender of the stills and imbiber from same, burly Howard is always ready to take on the Bondurants' enemies, corrupt law officers. Wending through this conflict in flash-forward mode is novelist Sherwood Anderson, who plumbs the Bondurant story a few years after the brothers' climactic confrontation with the county sheriff. Descriptively gritty and emotionally resonant, novelist Bondurant dramatically projects the poverty and danger at the heart of the old-time bootlegging life. %97Booklist
THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD: A Novel Based on a True Story Hard-living bootleggers and crooked lawmen wrestle for control of the moonshine business in a fictional re-creation of the hard past of a lawless county.
Drawing on his real life relatives and actual events, Bondurant (The Third Translation, 2005, etc.) sends past-his-prime author Sherwood Anderson into the hollows of western Virginia in the mid-1930s. Reduced to working for newspapers, the author of Winesburg, Ohio is there to report on the saga of the Bondurant brothers and their bloody defiance of corrupt attorney Charles Carter Lee. Anderson hopes to reclaim his place in the literary world with an accurate portrayal of these tough men. But no one will talk to an outsider about the bootlegging business or the series of shootings and knifings that continued to characterize Franklin County through the end of Prohibition and led ultimately to the longest criminal trial in the history of the Commonwealth. The Bondurants, like all the distillers in their mountain county, work in secrecy, carrying out their trade alongside legitimate businesses, eking out incomes shrunk to near nothing by the Great Depression. Sons of a law-abiding tradesman, the brothers were set on their shady paths by the sweeping forces of World War I and the epidemic of influenza that killed their mother and all but one of their sisters. Army veteran Howard, brainy Forrest and their admiring youngest brother, Jack Bondurant, took up the dangerous business of white lightning as reasonablyŃor unreasonablyŃas todayŐs ghetto youths take up drug dealing. What put them in mortal danger in an already dangerous business was not the roaming federal investigators but their refusal to join the cartel run by the countyŐs top legal figure. That they survived not only the warfare but massive doses of their own potent liquor is a testament to a kind of toughness that may no longer exist.ĘGritty, gripping depiction of very wild lives.
Interweaving the bleak portraits of Walker Evans, the charged landscapes of Annie Dillard, and the breakneck plotting of Cormac McCarthy, Matt Bondurant mines his own family history to offer a novel that's both a gritty, fast-paced tale of bootleggers and car chases and a timeless hard-knock ballad, a myth fixed in the amber of one small community's imagination. THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD is a suspense story dashed to tintype smithereens, each one a jewel.
"Bondurant tells a distinctively American story. The gritty, suspenseful narrative gripped me and wouldn't let me go. It also touched my heart in all the right ways. Matt Bondurant's writing is as full of beauty as it is of verve and grit. Thank God it's legal to write so well." %97Lee Martin, author of River of Heaven and The Bright Forever
"Brilliantly conceived, and so close to home, this novel proves Matt Bondurant's burgeoning talent Ń a book for thirsty American readers to guzzle down, a book for all young American writers to admire." %97Alan Cheuse, author of The Fires
"In his scintillating new novel, Matt Bondurant explores a crucial period in the history of Virginia and of his family. His gorgeous, precise prose brings to life an amazing cast of characters, including Sherwood Anderson, and often deadly battles of Prohibition. The Wettest County in the World is a remarkable compelling, highly intelligent, and deeply moving novel." %97Margaret Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street and Eva Moves the Furniture

It seems like I have very little soreness after putting in my new Invisalign aligners. I feel the pressure the first couple days, but after that, the trays just pop in and out very easily. The 2 week switching period seems like it would be an average period suitable for the general population. Would it be alright if I asked my orthodontist to try out 10-11 days per set instead of 2 weeks? I would sign any waivers if they are worried about liability.
Switching Invisalign Trays Every 10-11 Days Instead of 14?
Doctor Answers 3
Changing Invisalign every 10 days
As an old wise man once said " if you take the short route to get to your destination, you may take the wrong path and miss it altogether"
So rushing Invisalign in crowded cases is not recommended because the errors increase and you end up having refinement aligners.
Rushing Invisalign only works in cases where spaces are present and if you change every 10 days then that means a review visit every month which is also an inconvenience as well.
For invisalign to work each tray must be worn two weeks
The minimum each tray should be worn is 2 weeks..it can go longer than that but not less. The bone and teeth need this time to move and redeposit bone..otherwise you are forcing movement which can have side effects
Please don't do that!!!
Each aligner has a prescribed movement programmed in it. Soreness does not always correlated with movement of teeth. There is also a settlement period there where the movement is stabilized.
In orthodontics "slow is fast" !!!!!!! The slower the movement, the more predictable and stable (long term) will be the result.
Please do not rush the treatment as it will relapse (research has proved it!).

Batman Apprehends Criminal In England Before Disappearing Into The Night
It may not be Gotham City, but it looks like Bradford, Northern England has a caped crusader righting wrongs and defending the defenseless, nonetheless. On February 25, a man dressed in an Adam West, Batman '66-style costume delivered a wanted felon to the police department before "disappearing into the night."On the Bradford Police Facebook page, an officer wrote that "Batman came into the helpdesk, stated to the staff 'I've caught this one for you' and then promptly vanished into the night to fight crime and the fear of crime in Bradford."
As of yet, the identity of this Batman is unknown, although the hunt is on. According to the BBC, a local shop owner sold a Batman costume to a young man in his 20's a few days before the incident, and does know his name, as he apparently paid with a credit card. The store owner has since sworn to keep his identity a secret according to the BBC.
Whether or not Batman's appearance in the city of Bradford will lead to… escalation, is so far unknown. You can see the BBC video reporting the story below.

Walker was the most unexpected name to appear on McGeechan's list as the 21-year-old had not featured in any of Scotland's warm-up internationals.
"I did not think he was serious at first," admitted Walker. "We had a laugh on the phone.
"The last couple of weeks I had lost my expectations of going.
"But I still took it as a surprise when I got the phone call last night."
Walker had first sprung to prominince when scoring the decisive try as his hometown club, Hawick, won the 2002 BT Cellnet Cup final to complete a cup and league double.
He went on to score his first try for Scotland in the 21-6 triumph over South Africa in November later that year.
But he had been relegated to the Under-21s while his rivals for a place in the squad for Australia played in the Six Nations last season and then this term's warm-up games against South Africa, Italy, Wales and Ireland.
However, McGeechan gave him the nod ahead of Rory Kerr and Simon Webster after impressive form during the Under-21 World Cup during which he scored two tries in a victory over their English counterparts.
"I have just got my form back to the level I had shown to get me in the squad last autumn," Walker reasoned.
"I feel I am a better player now and I have been playing well for the Borders and I think that may have swayed it my way."
Now he is looking forward to facing the world's best this autumn.
"It means everything," he said. "It's just a dream to go to the World Cup with Scotland.
"I am still only 21 and hopefully have a lot more rugby ahead of me."

The city's red light camera program will end as of July 31, and at least one city councilman is advising motorists to ignore tickets they get between now and then.
The City Council declined Tuesday to overturn a Police Commission decision to end the contract for the program. But the council could not decide what to do with the cameras, or tickets issued because of them, over the next six weeks.
Councilman Dennis Zine, a former LAPD motorcycle officer, said he would ignore the tickets.
"There is no requirement that people pay the tickets," Zine said. "It's like shooting an unloaded gun. Nothing will happen. No one will be hurt. This won't go on your driver's record or affect your insurance. If someone wants to pay, I'd rather they just give money to the city."
LAPD officials said they would not encourage people to violate the law, but acknowledged there was no penalty for those who refuse to pay.
"Collection has been a big issue," Deputy Chief Mike Downing said. "We asked for changes in state law to put some consequences in this, but it was rejected."
Richard Tefank, executive officer to the Police Commission, said collection was one of the concerns the commission had when it recommended ending the program.
"Right now, it is a voluntary pay program," Tefank said. "If you receive a photo red light ticket ... what we have in Los Angeles County is the courts have made the decision they will not refer them to the DMV to put a hold on a license (if the ticket is not paid)."
But Council President Eric Garcetti and Councilman Tony Cardenas said any driver caught by the cameras and cited should pay the ticket.
"You did something wrong and you should pay," Garcetti said.
Cardenas had pushed to keep the cameras operating at 32 intersections in the city on a month-to-month basis as more studies are done about their value.
In a series of votes, the council was unable to resolve whether to continue the program or end it immediately. The issue will continue to remain pending before the council until the votes are available to receive and file the item.
After months of debate, the Police Commission voted two weeks ago to end its contract with Affiliated Traffic Systems of Arizona. The original contract had also required the city to issue an exemption to its ordinance prohibiting business with Arizona-based firms, in protest of that state's tough anti-immigration laws.
The Police Commission had recommended ending the program because of questions over its enforceability - many courts were throwing out the $446 tickets - as well as over its effectiveness in improving safety and its cost.
Mary Hearn, spokeswoman for Los Angeles Superior Court, said it is the court's policy not to put a DMV hold on people caught by the cameras.
"We do not choose to put a DMV hold since we have found that many of the tickets are issued to a vehicle and the owner is not the driver," Hearn said.
"We're concerned about punishing someone who is not the driver and, it could be, they will not know about the hold for three, four or five years when they renew their drivers license."
However, she urged drivers to deal with the tickets in some way - whether that means contesting or paying them - rather than ignoring them.
"If they want to challenge the ticket, the LAPD has something online where they can look at the film," Hearn said. "Also when they come to court, we have officers here who can show them the evidence and they can decide if they want to plead guilty or contest it."
Councilman Bill Rosendahl said the program costs $2.6 million more than it brings in.
While the city is not allowed to look at offsetting costs with revenues from fines, Rosendahl said it is money that could be better used.
"We could use it for overtime to get more cops on the street," Rosendahl said.
Councilman Bernard Parks said the cost argument did not match the reality of the LAPD.
"We have 300 motor officers in the department," Parks said. "That's not a cost-neutral expense. Public safety costs a lot of money. The question is if a program works."
As part of its action, the City Council also asked for a study on the impact of changing traffic signals to either have longer yellow lights or have red signals in all directions when the signals change.

If you shrug off Nintendo Wii games as being too easy, you might want to try your hand at Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri, the latest in the 10 million-unit-selling Japanese video game series. While the premise sounds fairly straightforward — slaying creatures to protect your people — the execution is far from a cakewalk.
This action-heavy role-playing game begins with your village chief asking you, a notorious monster hunter, to investigate unnatural earthquakes — and stop whomever or whatever is responsible. So you'll venture out to the nearby woods, in dark caves and even underwater to find and defeat fantastic monsters — including huge "boss" beasts that require you to study their behavior before attacking.
As with most RPGs, there are quests that need to be completed, in this case at the request of the Hunter's Guild. Most of these quests consist of slaying or capturing monsters, and the objectives must be completed within a certain amount of time. There are also dozens of sub-quests that reward hunters with additional compensation and supplies. Successfully completing an "Urgent Quest," on the other hand, unlocks even more difficult ones.
Monster Hunter Tri isn't a simple hack-and-slash action role-playing game like Diablo or Torchlight. Rather, some battles can take 30-odd minutes to complete because you need to figure out what weapon to use, when to use it and on what part of the monster's body. In some cases, the monsters appear to retreat but are leading you to a trap. Or they might initiate a chase across the wilderness, which also prolongs the fight. The controls also take some time getting used to, but at least you can choose between three different control configurations and take advantage of optional gamepads including the new Nintendo Classic Controller Pro.
The third-person adventure also has a deep weapon and armor system, including the option to forge and upgrade items with the village blacksmith. There are many upgradeable hunter skills, as well. You'll also need some energy for your quests, so you'll have to eat for health. You can carve up a beast to cook over a spit, or you can go fishing, for instance.
Much of the fun in Monster Hunter Tri is playing online cooperatively with up to three other gamers, or with two players via split-screen view on the same TV. You can take on numerous quests together by pairing complimentary skills and strategizing vocally via the optional Wii Speak microphone accessory (sold separately). In the single-player game, you'll get some help from an artificial intelligence companion called ChaCha, who can show you where a monster is, gather items for you, or use masks for special abilities.
The graphics are impressive for the Nintendo Wii, which isn't capable of delivering high-definition visuals, but not on par with recent releases on the more powerful Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 consoles.
Fans of the series won't be disappointed with the latest — and most ambitious —Monster Hunter adventure, but first-time players will need to get over the learning curve to appreciate this online and offline adventure.

Nautilocalyx has many attractive species, most of which are grown for their striking foliage. This beautiful specimen is a good example of the decorative potential of the genus.
I had originally posted this plant as an unidentified species, as I thought another, different, photo was N. p. 'Lightning'. Useful advice has been received from a number of knowledgeable growers, and it seems clear that the other image is in reality of Drymonia macrophylla, and this is truly N. p. 'Lightning.

Salmon in Lime Ginger Sauce
This recipe proved to be a standout at the most recent Becoming and Outdoors Woman workshop in Alaska. The three-day event in Haines featured a couple dozen outdoor skills classes, including three notable cooking classes: Dutch Oven Cooking, Smoking and Pickling Salmon, and Pond to Pan. In Alaska, the latter class should really be Ocean to Kitchen, but that lacks the ring.
The night before the Pond to Pan class, instructor Tracy Smith selected a dozen fish recipes. Beautiful red fillets of sockeye salmon were cedar planked, kabobbed, marinated, grilled, pan fried and baked. Forty or fifty women returning to camp after four-hour sessions learning to shoot guns, run chainsaws, drive skiffs and other such activities were greeted with the Pond to Pan dishes, a smorgasbord of steaming trays of salmon. All were good, but this was my personal favorite.
I tried this at home a few days later. Smith's students created a smoother marinade, but it tastes fine even if it's not quite as processed. It's pretty quick – about 15 minutes prep, 10 minutes to marinade, and 15 to cook.
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 Tbs. fresh ginger, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
- Juice from one lime, (about three Tbs.)
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. turmeric
- Four, six-ounce salmon fillets
Combine first four ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, adding a little water if necessary. Add the next three ingredients and mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and coat the fish fillets well, then cover and marinate for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Spread enough marinade to cover the bottom of a large, heavy skillet, and add the fillets. Spread the remaining marinade on the fish. Cover the skillet tightly and cook for 15 minutes over medium-low heat until fish is opaque throughout.

Texas jobless rate holds at 5.1%
Updated 5:59 pm, Friday, August 15, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The Texas unemployment rate held steady at 5.1 percent in July, matching the statewide rate for May and June.
The Texas Workforce Commission on Friday said employers added 46,600 seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs, for a total of 396,200 hires over the past 12 months.
"The Texas economic engine is strong, with every major industry posting positive annual growth in July," TWC Chairman Andres Alcantar said in a news release.
Professional and business services showed the most job growth for the month, adding 10,600 additional jobs.

This morning Labour is trying to relaunch its summer after a fairly lethargic first couple of weeks in which the party was knocked sideways by outspoken comments by the previously little known MP George Mudie.
Chris Leslie, the shadow chief secretary, is holding a press event on falling living standards under the coalition, pointing to polling showing 70 per cent of voters believe recent improvements in the economy have not benefited middle- and lower-income families.
But the event is unlikely to quell concerns in Labour about the party's apparent lack of direction. My colleague Jim Pickard reports in this morning's FT some very revealing comments from a former senior Miliband supporter. Read more

The cyclist who accused Lance Armstrong of doping has been formally stripped of his 2004 Olympic title after he admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Tyler Hamilton admitted last year he had taken banned drugs, and the IOC has announced they have stripped the American of his gold in the road race time trial.
Russian rider Viatcheslav Ekimov now gets the gold medal, USA's Bobby Julich moves up from bronze to silver, and Australia's Michael Rogers who had finished fourth gets a bronze medal.
Hamilton accused Armstrong in a CBS interview last year of doping - but the seven-times Tour de winner has denied using performance-enhancing drugs.

For the salted caramel layer
- 2 X 397g cans Carnation caramel
This is white, granulated sugar melted until it browns, after which it sets clear and hard when…
- 1½ tsp flaky sea salt or ½ tsp fine sea salt
For the chocolate-toffee topping
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm rectangular cake tin with baking parchment – the best way to do this is with 2 long strips of parchment. Put the ingredients for the base in a food processor and blitz until it starts to clump together – don't worry if the peanuts are still a little chunky, they will add a lovely texture. Tip onto your work surface and knead briefly to bring together as a dough. Press the dough into the base of your tin in an even layer. Bake for 25 mins until golden, then set aside to cool.
To make the peanut butter layer, melt the butter and peanut butter in a small pan and mix until smooth. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, then pour in the hot butter mixture and stir to combine. While the mixture is still warm, pour over the base and smooth out with a spatula. Chill for 2 hrs until set.
To make the caramel layer, put the caramel and salt in a pan, bring up to the boil and simmer vigorously for 2-3 mins, whisking continuously, until the colour darkens a shade or two and the caramel thickens slightly. Leave the caramel to cool for 20 mins (see tips, below). Once cooled, pour it over the peanut butter layer and return to the fridge for a further 2 hrs.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, put the toffees and the milk in a small saucepan and gently heat. They will clump together and struggle to melt at first, but keep heating and eventually they will turn into a runny toffee sauce.
Remove the tin from the fridge and pour the chocolate over the salted caramel layer, tipping the tin to spread the chocolate over the surface. Use a spoon to quickly drizzle the caramel over the chocolate in a thin loopy pattern (or see tip, below). If the toffee starts to get too thick, add a splash more milk or cream and pop it back on the heat until runny. Sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and put the tin back in the fridge to chill for 2 hrs before slicing.
Recipe Tip
Cutting slicesTo cut into pieces without shattering the chocolate layer, remove the billionaire's slice from the fridge 15 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife to score the surface into sections while still in the tin. Remove from the tin, then cut through, using the scored lines as a guide.
Recipe Tip
Cooling your caramelYou don't want your caramel to be piping hot when it's poured over the peanut butter layer, as it will melt the butter and make the layers separate. So cool the caramel at room temperature for 20 minutes first, or pour it into a jug and stand in a sink of cold water for five minutes, stirring continuously.
Recipe Tip
The right tool for the jobWe used a 20 x 30cm tin with a slide-out bottom. This makes it much easier to remove the billionaire's slice from the tin without cracking the top.
Recipe Tip
Creating a patterned toppingTo create the perfect swirly toffee topping, invest in a plastic squeezy bottle with a small round nozzle. Leave the caramel to cool for five minutes before pouring it into the bottle, then quickly create the loopy pattern.
Recipe Tip
Getting the caramel layer rightTo check the caramel has thickened enough, you can do the jam test. Spoon a little of the caramel onto a plate and pop it in the fridge for five minutes. When you remove it, the caramel should be softly set and have a similar texture to softened butter. If it is still runny, return the pan to the heat and boil for another minute or two, then check again.

Education and Acculturation on Malaita: An Ethnography of Intraethnic and Interethnic Affinities
Page, James S. (1988) Education and Acculturation on Malaita: An Ethnography of Intraethnic and Interethnic Affinities. The Journal of Intercultural Studies, 15/16, pp. 74-81.
|PDF (100kB)
One of the central issues in educational anthropology is the changing nature of intraethnic and interethnic conflict and relationships. Conventional modernization theory suggests that the acculturation process will tend to diminish traditional allegiances and affinities. There are, however, indications that the opposite may occur. This essay reports on research into this issue undertaken on Malaita, in the Solomon Islands. The research method was sociometric and involved examination of the ethnic identity and affinities of individuals within the Malaitan language-groups, namely, the AreAre, Baegu, Baelelea, Dorio, Fataleka, Kwai Island, Kwaio, Kwara'ae, Langalanga, Lau, Sa'a and To'abaita language-groups. From this, I draw some conclusions on the acculturation process on Malaita, as well as what individuals in mass societies might learn from such language-group societies.

I'm a recent college graduate and I can honeslty say that my college experience would not have been as amazing as it was if it wasn't for one special place. College was great, I made so many AMAZING friendships, I was super involved in my campus and I couldn't have done any of this if I didn't feel confident. I can honestly say that I felt confident because I felt great, I felt great because I looked great and I looked great because of Torrid! Every Torrid store I visit has amazing people working and the clothes is FABULOUS! There is not one day that I don't check out their website (especially to look for sales). I love fashion, I love Cal State Fullerton and I can't wait to see what my future holds.

Do you think Pluto should be removed from the category "Planets" on the ground that it is no longer officially a planet? In that case Pluto should be moved to a new category "Dwarf planets" (possibly "Trans-Neptunian objects". Keeping it in the category "Planets" could be justified on the grounds that in 1991-1998, Pluto was still a planet, at least to Muggles. Hmm, is Wizard knowledge of astronomy ahead of, behind, or about the same as that of Muggles? Might the Wizards have already demoted ("plutoed") Pluto by 1998? Btw, if it is decided to create an article on Sedna, Orcus, Quaoar, or any other trans-Neptunian object that is in all likelihood a dwarf planet but has not been formally declared to be such, feel free to place it in the category "Dwarf planets" nonetheless.
I am fascinated with trans-Neptunian objects.Hallj36 11:04, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Should remain as is, since it was never changed from being a planet in canon. The background information regarding this matter is already covered in "behind the scenes." ProfessorTofty 14:13, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
