In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I founded The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.View all articles by Scott Adams

I agree on the "gluten free flour mix'. what does this consist of? Is it a pre made store bough mix, the link takes you to all the different flours, not very helpful. I tried a different recipe and ended up with no rise what so ever in my cookies, using a gluten free "flour mix" made from a cook book. Although yummy I don't want to end up with ginger crumble again.

Not telling us what is in the gluten free baking mix makes this recipe risky to use. Our time and money is important. If you're going to give us a recipe give the complete ingredients.

Wonderful recipe - made it yesterday. Great texture and excellent flavor. I always have issues with refrigerated cookie dough crumbling, so I did not refrigerate the dough. I used plastic wrap on a wet counter top (makes a perfect stick-free work surface), sprinkled with with rice flour, and rolled out the dough. It was a fun and easy recipe. Thank you very much. For flour I used 4 parts rice flour to 1 part tapioca flour.

Anyone cooking for celiacs should know to go to health food store to buy all-purpose gluten free flour. I creamed sugar & butter together. I Combined dry ingredients. I combined molasses, milks, and egg. I added dry & wet ingredients to butter/sugar mixture alternately, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Turned out fine - a little strong for my taste.

Weekly Update Volume 30, Issue 36
Note: The cases listed are available from the ELR Document Service.
The First Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part a district court decision awarding damages to a marina that was damaged by a nearby oil spill. The district court correctly held that punitive damages were unavailable to the marina as a matter of law. OPA does not provide for punitive damages, and because Congress intended OPA to be the exclusive federal law governing oil spills, the marina cannot base its claim for punitive damages under maritime and admiralty law. The district court also correctly ruled that the marina was entitled to a trial by jury because the marina's OPA claim would have constituted an action at law, rather than in admiralty, at the time of the Seventh Amendment's ratification in 1791. Although the marina's docks move with the ebb and flow of the tides, they remain moored to a fixed location and serve no navigational function. In essence, they are "extensions of the land." Additionally, the district court correctly vacated the jury's $100,000 award for loss in goodwill and its $15,000 award for business stress. It erred, however, in concluding that the marina failed to introduce evidence sufficient to support the jury's award for lost slip revenues. The court, therefore, reinstated the jury's award of $110,000 for lost slip revenues. South Port Marine v. Gulf Oil Ltd., Nos. 99-2369, -2370 (1st Cir. Dec. 7, 2000) (10 pp.).
The Eighth Circuit held that a power sales contract between an energy company and a public power district does not require the energy company to make current, non-refundable payments of estimated decommissioning costs to the power district, but makes the energy company liable for decommissioning costs only in the event that the district shuts the nuclear power plant down in 2004. In 1967, the parties entered a power sales contract that obligated the power district to construct and manage the power facility and required the energy company to purchase power from the facility and pay monthly power costs until 2004. The contract also stated that if the power district elects to shut the facility down in 2004, the parties must share decommissioning costs equally. If the power district continues operation, however, the energy company's payment obligations and its right to any refund of excess payments are terminated. In anticipation of high decommissioning costs, the power district began adding estimated decommissioning costs to the energy company's bill in 1984. The power district argued, and the district court agreed, that the decommissioning costs fall within the contract's definition of monthly power costs, obligating the energy company to pay them, and that the contract cuts off the company's right to any reimbursement should the power district elect to close the plant in 2004. The contract, however, unambiguously makes the energy company liable for decommissioning costs only if the power district ceases operation in 2004, and it does not require the energy company to pay current, non-refundable payments of estimated decommissioning costs. Pre-paid decommissioning costs are not monthly power costs. In fact, such payments fall wholly outside the contract. Similarly, the contract does not bar the company's equitable claims to recover payments already made. The company did not subject itself to liability for decommissioning costs by making pre-payments. Rather, the company's payment obligations are contingent on the power district's decision regarding continued operations. Nebraska Public Power District v. MidAmerican Energy Co., No. 99-4067 (8th Cir. Dec. 12, 2000) (21 pp.).
The Third Circuit upheld the conviction of three individuals that organized a 20,000-person event in the Allegheny National Forest without obtaining a special use permit in violation of U.S. Forest Service regulations. The regulations clearly define what conduct is prohibited and, thus, are not unconstitutionally vague. Further, the requirement that a special use permit be signed by a member of the group does not burden the First Amendment rights of individuals attending the event. Rather, the signature requirement represents a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction on expressive conduct. Moreover, a provision that allows the Forest Service to place terms and conditions on special use permits is not facially invalid. The provision does not allow the Forest Service to ban disfavored speech, and it applies to every group, activity, or conduct that requires special use authorization. Even were the court to entertain the challenge, it would be rejected on the merits because the regulations specifically limit the Forest Service from imposing conditions directed at curtailing or censoring expression. Additionally, the regulations underlying the individuals' convictions apply not just to groups who use National Forest land, but also to individuals who use the land as part of a group, with deliberate disregard to the group permit requirement. Last, the regulations allow for judicial review. United States v. Kalb, Nos. 00-1733 et al. (3d Cir. Dec. 12, 2000) (13 pp.).
The Ninth Circuit held that a 1978 case concerning Native American fishing rights in the Puget Sound intended for the Lummi Indian Tribe's U&A fishing areas to include Admiralty Inlet but not the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the mouth of the Hood Canal. In the 1978 action, the judge determined that the Lummi Indian Tribe was entitled to fish in the marine areas of "Northern Puget Sound from the Fraser River south to the present environs of Seattle." In the instant action, four tribes alleged that the Lummi Indian Tribe was fishing outside its adjudicated area. A district court granted summary judgment to the four tribes based on its determination that the 1978 decision did not intend for the Admiralty Inlet, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the mouth of Hood Canal to be included in the Lummi Indian Tribe's U&A fishing areas. With respect to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the mouth of Hood Canal, the district court properly relied on evidence that was put before the judge in the 1978 action, and not on latter-day evidence. Moreover, evidence demonstrates that the 1978 decision did not intend for these two areas to be included in the Northern Puget Sound. With respect to Admiralty Inlet, however, there is no indication that the 1978 decision recognized the inlet as a region separate from Northern Puget Sound. Nevertheless, based on the geography of the area, the 1978 decision must have intended for the Admiralty Inlet to be included within the Northern Puget Sound. The court, therefore, reversed this aspect of the district court's decision. Lower Elwha Band of S'Klallams v. Lummi Indian Tribe, No. 98-35964 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2000) (14 pp.).
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court decision holding that a 1978 case concerning Native American fishing rights in the Puget Sound intended for the Lummi Indian Tribe's U&A fishing areas to extend to the northern outskirts, or suburbs, of Seattle as they existed in 1974. In the 1978 action, the judge determined that the Lummi Indian Tribe was entitled to fish in the marine areas of Northern Puget Sound from the Fraser River south to the "present environs of Seattle." The Lummi Indian Tribe argue that the "present environs of Seattle" includes marine areas adjacent to the present city of Seattle or even further south to its southern outskirts. The district court, however, properly looked at the language in the 1978 decision and supplemented the record with a geography expert as to where the northern environs were at that time. This supplementary material does not constitute latter-day evidence that would have been unknown to the judge in the 1978 decision. Moreover, had the judge in the 1978 decision intended to hold that the fishing grounds reached "through" the environs of Seattle, he would have said so. Muckleshoot Indian Tribe v. Lummi Indian Nation, No. 99-36224 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2000) (4 pp.).
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court grant of summary judgment to three Native American tribes seeking a determination that the Muckleshoot Tribe's saltwater U&A fishing area was limited to Elliott Bay within Puget Sound in Washington state. In determining the treaty-reserved fishing rights of several Washington tribes, a previous district court held that the Muckleshoot Tribe had U&A saltwater fishing places in Puget Sound. After the initial decision, a state regulation established fishing zones in Puget Sound. The Muckleshoot sought to open fisheries in one of these fishing zones, but in opposition, the other tribes sought a determination that the Muckleshoot were limited to the fishing zone off of Elliott Bay. In determining what the initial district court decision meant when it stated that the Muckleshoot have U&A saltwater fishing rights in Puget Sound requires an examination of the evidence before that court. This evidence indicates that the Muckleshoot were an upriver tribe that occasionally made trips to Elliott Bay to fish and collect shellfish. Although the Muckleshoot's ancestors may have occasionally conducted saltwater fishing beyond Elliott Bay, these isolated or infrequent excursions do not meet the U&A standard. In addition, none of the evidence offered by the Muckleshoot established that their ancestors had U&A fishing grounds beyond Elliot Bay. United States v. Puyallup Indian Tribe, No. 99-35960 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2000) (13 pp.).
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court decision that the on-reservation catch of fish by a Washington state tribe whose reservation was created by Executive Order and not by treaty should be attributed to and, thus, should come out of the state's share of the annual fishing catch, instead of the share of treaty tribes. A previous district court decision sought to equitably divide salmon fishing rights in the state between the state and several tribes whose fishing rights were secured by treaty. However, the Chehalis tribe, who refused to sign a treaty, were created by Executive Order, which ensured them fishing rights on their reservation. The state subsequently sought a determination regarding whether the fish caught by the Chehalis should count against the annual allocation. The original district court division of fishing rights never contemplated such an issue. However, that court enjoined the state from treating any off-reservation taking of fish as treaty fishing unless the court had determined that such taking was by a treaty tribe. This order established the principle that no catch by non-treaty native Americans should be attributed to the treaty tribes. Therefore, since the Chehalis were never party to a treaty, the fish taken by them cannot be attributed to the treaty tribes. Such a result is consistent with equity and federal precedent regarding tribes and treaty interpretation. United States v. Washington, No. 99-35104 (9th Cir. Dec. 13, 2000) (7 pp.).
The Sixth Circuit upheld the dismissal of a transporter company's claim that its insurer breached its duty under a marine insurance policy to defend and indemnify the company in a qui tam action brought under the FCA. The transporter was hired as a subcontractor to transport coal to the Tennessee Valley Authority under a contract between a coal company and the United States. The transporter's employees, who alleged that the transporter knowingly hid CWA violations from the United States in order to obtain payment, filed an FCA action against the transporter. After the insurer refused to defend or indemnify the transporter, the transporter commenced the instant action. The insurer, however, had no duty to defend the transporter because the underlying complaint stated claims under the FCA exclusively. An FCA action is not converted into a CWA action simply because a CWA violation is a predicate to establishing the falsity of a claim. Moreover, the complaint was not so vague, ambiguous, nebulous, or incomplete as to obligate the insurer to provide a defense under the insurance policy. Similarly, because the transporter's settlement with the employees only concerned FCA violations, the insurer had no duty to indemnify. M/G Transport Services, Inc. v. Water Quality Insurance Syndicate, No. 99-3889 (6th Cir. Dec. 12, 2000) (5 pp.).
An Indiana appellate court held that an insurance company must defend and indemnify building owners who were sued by telemarketers who worked in the building and were injured from exposure to fumes from carpet glue used to recarpet the building. Although the policy included a pollution exclusion clause, the clause was ambiguous and, therefore, should have been construed in favor of the building owners. The telemarketers did not simply complain that they were injured by fumes, but that they were injured by the fumes coming from the substances used to install the carpet. While the policy's definition of pollutants includes the term "fumes," it does not include carpet glue or any other substance used to install carpet. Moreover, as determined in prior case law, the policy cannot be read literally as it would negate virtually all coverage. In addition, the insurance company acted in bad faith in refusing to defend and indemnify the building owners. The insurance company's counsel was aware of the applicable case law, but the company still refused to indemnify or defend the building owners in this action. Freidline v. Shelby Insurance Co., No. 71A03-0004-CV-132 (Ind. Ct. App. Nov. 29, 2000) (11 pp.).
An Oregon appellate court reversed a portion of a state environmental agency order that imposed a civil penalty against a city for discharging sewage sludge without a permit in violation of a state statute. The city was granted an NPDES permit to operate a sewage disposal system. In September 1996, one of the system's pipes ruptured and spilled between 2,000 and 5,000 gallons of partially treated sewage sludge into nearby tidal wetlands. A hearing officer fined the city $1,500 for the spill and for violating the terms of its NPDES permit, but the agency's appellate division imposed an additional $3,900 against the city pursuant to a state statute that prohibits persons from discharging wastes into state waters without "first obtaining a permit" from the state environmental agency. Here, however, the city had an NPDES permit, and a discharge in violation of a permit's conditions does not amount to discharging without a permit. The statute says nothing about violating the terms of the permit. It only states that the operator of a disposal system must obtain a permit before any discharge. Moreover, the agency's construction of the statute would render meaningless a second statute that prohibits persons from violating the terms of their permits. Environmental Quality Commission v. City of Coos Bay, No. CA A107070 (Or. Ct. App. Nov. 22, 2000) (3 pp.).
The Colorado Supreme Court affirmed a state water court decision denying and dismissing with prejudice a county's applications for decrees for conditional water rights for a large water storage project west of the Continental Divide in the Upper Gunnison River Basin. The water court properly applied the "can and will" doctrine in determining that there was insufficient water in the basin for the county's proposed diversions. The United States has an absolute decree for water rights from three nearby dams known as the Aspinall Unit and has historically applied the water afforded by the decree to full beneficial use. Thus, the decree represents a senior water right. Moreover, once the Aspinall Unit is taken into account, the Gunnison River Basin does not contain enough unappropriated water for the project. Under the decree, the United States agreed to subordinate 60,000 acre-feet of water to junior in-basin water users, to release water from the Aspinall Unit as necessary to allow the state to meet its delivery obligations under the Colorado River Compact, and to make 240,000 acre-feet of the decreed water available for contractual use by future Colorado water users. Additionally, the water court correctly dismissed the county's claim for a conditional water right for its pumping plant at nearby Taylor Park because the county lacked an existing permit. Without a permit, the county could not satisfy the "can and will" requirements for a conditional decree. Board of the County Commissioners of the County of Arapahoe v. Crystal Creek Homeowners' Ass'n, No. 98SA327 (Colo. Nov. 20, 2000) (28 pp.).
The Vermont Supreme Court held that the doctrine of res judicata does not bar landowners' third-party claim against a neighboring company for contribution under state law for clean up costs the state incurred in its efforts to remedy petroleum contamination on the landowners' property. The company previously filed suit against the landowners seeking damages for petroleum contamination stemming from activities on the landowners' property, and the landowners filed a counterclaim alleging that the company caused petroleum contamination on the landowners' property. In that case, a trial court entered judgment in favor of the company on the landowners' counterclaim, determining that the evidence of causation was slight and that they failed to prove damages. When that case arose, however, the landowners could not have brought the instant third-party claim for contribution because the state had not yet brought a claim against the landowners for clean up costs. Therefore, the landowners should not be precluded under the doctrine of res judicata from pursuing their third-party claim against the company in the underlying state action. State v. Carroll, No. 99-472 (Vt. Dec. 1, 2000) (5 pp.).

- A treaty calling for the phaseout and disposal of a dozen persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and for the incorporation of other POPs was approved on Dec. 10. The treaty (the Stockholm Convention on Implementing International Action on Certain Persistent Organic Pollutants) will become of force when it is ratified by at least 50 countries. Eight of the 12 chemicals--aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, mirex, toxaphene, hexachlorobenzene--would be banned immediately upon the treaty becoming of force. Significantly, the treaty incorporates the "precautionary principle," through language that states "that precaution underlines the concerns of all Parties to this Convention and is embedded within it." In the event of scientific uncertainty regarding whether a chemical should be added, the treaty calls for administrators to "decide, in a precautionary manner, whether to list the chemical." Incorporation of references to the precautionary principle in several portions of the treaty was a significant victory for environmental groups and the U.S. government. Adoption of the treaty by the U.S. would lead to revisions to FIFRA, as well as possibly to the CCAA and RCRA. A signing ceremony will be held in Stockholm May 2001, but implementation of the provisions will not be required until the treaty becomes of force, a process that will likely take four years or more.
- Officials from 177 countries that are party to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity opened a weeklong conference in Montpellier, France, regarding implementation of the Cartagena Protocol. "The world's governments adopted the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety earlier this year to establish a fair and transparent system for international trade in genetically modified organisms," said United Nations Environment Program Executive Director Klaus Toepfer. "Many of the disagreements about living modified organisms that are being aired today are addressed in this groundbreaking agreement. The sooner governments make the protocol operational, the sooner we can assure the public that human health and the natural environment are being fully protected." See http://www.biodiv.org
- Officials from more than 170 country parties to the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) began a conference in Bonn. See http://www.unccd.int/publicinfo/pressrel/showpressrel.php?pr=press05_06_00
- A World Resources Institute report, Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems (PAGE): Grassland Ecosystems, concludes that the world's grasslands are rapidly disappearing. Grasslands make up 40% of the world's land surface and provide livelihoods for nearly 800 million people, according to the Report. Their decline is due to the conversion of these ecosystems to agriculture, urbanization, excessive fires, livestock grazing, fragmentation and invasive species of plants and animals. The Report may be viewed at http://www.igc.org/wri/wr2000/grasslands_page.html
- Worldwatch Institute issued a study, Deep Trouble: The Hidden Threat of Groundwater Pollution, which concludes that groundwater supplies are contaminated in virtually every country, with the worst pollution in areas in which groundwater is needed for drinking water supplies. See http://www.worldwatch.org
- The U.S. and Canada agreed to significantly reduce emissions from power plants and industrial sources by 2010. Air pollution accounts for about 5,000 premature deaths in Canada and about 60,000 in the United States annually. The agreement, the Ozone Annex to the 1991 Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement, requires power plants and other industrial sources to cut nitrogen oxide emissions by between 50% and 75% by 2004. The United States plans to reduce its overall nitrogen oxide emissions by 35% by 2007, with an intent to reduce U.S. annual emissions by 43% by 2010. Both countries also vowed to pursue reductions in volatile organic compounds, while Canada plans to strengthen its vehicle emission standards and bring them into line with U.S. standards.
- The United Nations Environment Programme has created a Coral Reef Unit. See http://www.unep.ch/coral.html
U.S. Undersecretary of State Frank Loy expressed "disappointment" about the inability of the U.S. and the European Union to advance Kyoto implementation at a two-day post-Hague meeting in Ottawa. U.S. officials indicated it is unlikely that another meeting will occur before the next scheduled conference in Bonn (scheduled for May 2001).
The Center for Global Atmospheric Modelling at the University of Reading indicated that international efforts to reduce the use of CFCs are working and that the ozone hole over the Southern Hemisphere is shrinking and may disappear over the next 50 years.
- A proposal to authorize approval of environmental taxes by a "qualified majority," rather than unanimous consent, was rejected due to opposition from the United Kingdom and Spain.
- An energy conservation program was unveiled by French officials led by Environment Minister Dominique Voynet. The program is aimed at increasing the utilization of renewable energy sources through government assistance in new projects and through programs to encourage energy conservation.
- Farmers in France were accused by the French Food Agency of introducing BSE (mad cow disease)-affected cattle into the human food chain, by passing off infected cattle as victims of accidents.
- EU ministers are considering proposals to cut fishing quotas by as much as 74% percent next year to prevent overfishing.
- The European Parliament and the Council of Ministers agreed on language to implement Directive 90/220 on Deliberate Release of Genetically Modified Organisms.
- The European Parliament gave preliminary approval to measures that would accelerate the phasing out of single-hull oil tankers and impose more stringent tanker inspection procedures.
- The Canada Supreme Court, in the case of Services des Espaces Verts Ltee/Chemlawn et al. v. Ville de Hudson, No. 26937, is considering whether local jurisdictions can impose bans on the use of lawn pesticides. Over 35 communities in Quebec have imposed bans since 1991, and others within and outside of Quebec are considering such restrictions.
- Environment Canada said that it will release, before Dec. 31, a 10-year plan for regulation of off-road vehicle engines and small engines used in chainsaws, lawn movers, and similar products.
- The Plague Locust Commission said that Western Australia is facing its most severe infestations of locusts, with South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria also facing potentially significant damage to agricultural crops.
- Beijing, China, will seek to increase the amount of energy it derives from geothermal, solar, biomass, and wind power. The city's efforts are intended to assist it in gaining the 2008 Olympic Games. See http://www.sinoprojects.com
- U.S. and Vietnam representatives met to discuss the lingering environmental and human health consequences of Agent Orange use and exposure.
- Officials from seven African cities met under U.N. auspices to address methods to improve water management in Africa. A U.N. official noted that worldwide "the number of urban dwellers without adequate access to water supplies [has] reached an all-time high of 180 million." See http://www.nandotimes.com/global/story/0,1024,500287594-500454608-502987651-0,00.html
- The World Wildlife Fund issued a report, Asian Elephants in the Wild, which concludes that Asian elephants in Africa are decreasing in number due to poaching, logging and other factors. There are now only 35,000 to 50,000 Asian elephants left, about 10% of Africa's elephant population. See http://www.wwf.org

To-day should end our holiday to imbros, but as it blows a gale we have been notified that this has been postponed.
On the same day it was announced that a Rest Camp had been formed at imbros to which units would go in turn during the winter.
From the top we were able to get a good idea of the beauties of imbros.
The peaks of Samothrace and imbros were bathed in the glow of a glorious golden sunset.
But Miltiades, with the other four, succeeded in reaching the friendly coast of imbros in safety.
The day has been fiery hot as usual, with the usual glorious sunset behind the mountains of imbros.
(c) Animals in remarks columns (82 and 10) come from imbros, remainder from Mudros in horse-ships.
Eight aeroplanes are circling about, two big battleships with seven destroyers appeared out of the haze, coming from imbros.
We apparently felt only the tail of the earthquake at imbros: for it has ravaged Turkey!
This morning we have been notified that we go to imbros, probably for a week, on the night of the 8/9th.

Last Tuesday, I skipped out on watching Big Mike at The Moon to get out of my comfort zone and try something new, which is why I found myself walking down a set of stairs into Bar 9's basement. See, back in June, I picked up a flyer advertising the "Summer of Dub" in the "Dub9 Underground Lounge." According to this little red card, the Summer of Dub featured assorted drink specials ($1 domestics and $2 Crown-and-down 'til 11; $2 domestics after) with DJs Jimmy B and Carmack spinning (natch) dub. I assumed Bar 9's downstairs component would be filled with the smoky grooves of King Tubby, Scientist, Mad Professor, and the other greats of reggae's spacey, instrumental offshoot. Boy, was I wrong.
I had to park kind of far away, but by the time I got to the corner of 8th and Houston streets, I could already hear the bass, except that instead of the smoky, loping bass lines I expected, I discerned a different sort of low-end thump. "Ah, geez," I thought. "This is dubstep." Feeling a little misled, I headed down the stairs anyway, as an uptempo, minor-key pulse filled my ears.
Bar 9's underground lounge is kind of sparsely decorated. It's always kind of dark, but on this night, the gloom was rhythmically stabbed by theatrical light — I'm a sucker for fog and lasers, so I hung around for a shot and a drink, but one round was all I could take. Call me old-fashioned, but the only way I could get into this scene is with some drugs. Maybe. To my ears, dubstep sounds like pot-induced paranoia feels. The music is arguably danceable, and indeed, there were about 20 twentysomethings grooving, but the sound also carries an overarching sense of foreboding, and the uptempo beat kind of set my teeth on edge. Imagine getting tailgated by a semi in a narrow tunnel. That's sort of what dubstep feels like if you're not really into it.
But what do I know? I felt out of place, but everyone else was obviously having a blast. At the other end of the narrow room, I saw the DJ's head nodding along through the fog. I don't know if this was Carmack or Jimmy B, but I decided to call him DJ Super Saiyan on account of a tower of preternaturally blond hair atop his head. While he didn't fly through the air and rain punches on any supervillains, he kept the lasers going consistently, and I gathered he was good at spinning this stuff, because everyone seemed to dig it.
I didn't really, but whatever. My drink was cheap, and I enjoyed doing something different from the usual. After I emptied my Jack and Coke, I headed to The Moon for last call. As I walked in the door, Big Mike's Box of Rock lurched into "War Pigs," and I felt like I could finally relax. –– Steve Steward
After Tuesday's foray into the unknown, I went for the familiar on Thursday, hitting up The Grotto for DJ Natty Patty's weekly reggae night, NATTYBASS. Natty Patty's been setting up the steel wheels and thumping Jamaica's national sonic export for a long time — I first saw him do weekly sets at The Wreck Room — and he doesn't disappoint. Mixing dub, ska, and a little bit of hip-hop, he crafts a hazy party vibe that's a nice alternative to crowds at the other bars in the West 7th corridor. While The Grotto doesn't have the underground theatrics of Bar 9, NATTYBASS is definitely worth checking out, even if the only thing you know about reggae is how Eric Clapton "Shot the Sheriff." –– S.S.

CIA Chief Michael Hayden has issued a passionate defense of extraordinary rendition, claiming that the practice, which so often involves abduction and torture, is justified by the "irreplaceable" intelligence it produces. Meanwhile, President Bush's preferred successor to loyal henchman Alberto Gonzales refuses to call torture by its name, though he claims to find it "repugnant."
[Attorney General] nominee Michael Mukasey condemned one technique, water-boarding, as "repugnant" and possibly "over the line," but declined to explicitly rule it out as torture, saying he could not speculate on classified procedures.
Water-boarding simulates drowning by immobilizing a prisoner with his head lower than his feet and pouring water over his face.
Leading Democrats in the Senate have threatened to block Mr Mukasey's confirmation if he does not explicitly rule out water-boarding as illegal.

A burning ban in Grand Forks County has been extended through November third. Abnormally dry conditions have resulted in numerous rural fires. Much of Grand Forks County falls within the extreme drought status as identified by the u-s drought monitor. Anyone who willfully violates the ban could be charged with a class "B" misdemeanor -- punishable by 30-days in jail and or a one-thousand dollar fine and the cost for any fire supression.
The ban does not include recreational fires in the city of Grand Forks.

Book review: The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by Adelle Waldman
A cocky, neurotic and intellectually precious young Brooklyn writer, his friends and lovers help make Waldman's debut an impressive one.
By Josh Davis. Henry Holt, $25.
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. catalogs, fittingly, the romantic entanglements of Nate Piven, a young Brooklyn writer who has just sold his first novel. Nate is somewhat typical of cocky first-time authors: He's neurotic and intellectually precious, and he often holds his status as a burgeoning literary force above many of the living, breathing people around him. In this debut, journalist Adelle Waldman sounds like an anthropologist familiar enough with her subject (in this case, the self-serious male writer) to speak his language: The dialogue is pitch-perfect, so much so that the exposition occasionally becomes tiresome by comparison.
Nate is constantly considering his past relationships with women, even when he meets what should be his match in Hannah, a bright, pretty and extraordinarily patient young woman who is also pursuing a writing career. After the initial spark, the dreaminess of their courtship fades, and Nate immerses himself in work, chores and obscure friendships. As his interior monologue switches from adoration to irritation, often at the drop of a pin, the relationship fizzles with a painful realism. Brooklyn, meanwhile, is the perfect costar, and Waldman romanticizes it in a way that feels fresh. Despite occasional flashes of snobbery, Nate revels in borough life, finding beauty in environments sqalid, artful and gentrified.
Waldman's characters are distinctive and impressively rendered, so it's sometimes a shame to be centrally located in Nate's head at the expense of the supporting characters. As a protagonist, he can be exhausting, while others, such as Hannah, as well as Jason and Aurit—Nate's oldest friends—offer welcome alternatives. There aren't any big lessons learned by the book's end, and some of the action begins to feel a little arbitrary. But all in all, Nathaniel P. is an impressive entrance, sharply written and infused with plenty of authenticity.

Dairy company Fonterra has joined relief efforts in Sri Lanka, giving milk powder and emergency supplies from its New Zealand Milk plant in the capital city, Colombo.
The plant in the inland village of Biyagama was not hit by the tidal waves.
New Zealand Milk, Sri Lanka, managing director Alastair de Raadt said the company had given $140,000 worth of milk powder to emergency workers. Its trucks were also being used to distribute milk and drinking water.
Local staff had also given a day's salary to help aid workers buy food and medicine.
Other materials such as plastic container sheets and pallets were being used to build emergency shelters.
Of the 550 New Zealand Milk staff on the island, only one remained unaccounted for last night.. A few had lost family and had their homes destroyed.
Fonterra has 2250 staff working in its New Zealand Milk operations throughout Southeast Asia.
In New Zealand, donations for aid are being accepted at all branches of the ASB, BNZ, Westpac, ANZ and National Banks and at all Countdown, Woolworths and Foodtown supermarkets.
