text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 68965662 LA English T1 The bedroom secrets of the master chefs A1 Welsh, Irvine., PB W.W. Norton PP New York YR 2006 SN 0393064530 9780393064537 AB "This story of two men locked in a war of wills that threatens their very existence is vintage Irvine Welsh. Troubled restaurant inspector Danny Skinner is on a quest to find the mysterious father his mother will not identify. Unraveling this hidden information is the key to understanding the crippling compulsions that threaten to wreck his young life. His ensuing journey takes him from the festival city of Edinburgh to the foodie city of San Francisco. But the hard-drinking, womanizing Skinner has a strange nemesis in the form of mild-mannered fellow inspector Brian Kibby. It is Skinner's unfathomable, obsessive hatred of Kibby that takes over everything, threatening to destroy not only Skinner and his mission but also those he loves most dearly. When Kibby contracts a horrific, undiagnosable illness, Skinner understands that his destiny is inextricably bound to that of his hated rival, and he is faced with a terrible dilemma. Irvine Welsh's work is a transgressive parable about the great obsessions of our time: food, sex, and celebrity."--Publisher's website. Environmental health officer Danny Skinner embarks on a journey from Edinburgh to San Francisco in search of the father he never knew, and discovers that his identity is entwined with the fate of his despised colleague, Brian Kibby.

Media Journal: HBO Go Fails at Bad Time
Here's your morning roundup of the biggest media industry news and happenings. Send tips, suggestions and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com
ROUGH NIGHT FOR HBO GO: What is going on with the sudden broadband shortage? A week after ABC's streaming of the Oscars resulted in outages for many, last night HBO Go bombed out at the worst possible time, reports WSJ's Speakeasy–right in the middle of the finale of the gripping crime thriller True Detective. Some fans had to wait two hours to log on, and were up in arms on Twitter. HBO subscribers have even more of a right than Oscars fans to gripe, since they are paying extra for the service. Unless, of course, HBO underestimated demand because it doesn't know how many people 'borrow' HBO Go via shared passwords. More in the full post.

Clint Eastwood's rambling speech at the Republican National Convention has attracted a lot of attention, but one point seems to be overlooked. Eastwood suggested that it might be time for a businessman to run the country. Does Eastwood forget that the economic abyss we are struggling to climb out of now began under the last businessman president we had? The problem is that running a country has very different objectives than running a business, and the constitutional division of powers dictates a process for making decisions that is also quite different than that of running a business. Until they learn this lesson, the Republicans will continue their love affair with businessmen who will create more problems than they fix.

A moot pointRe "Dismissal of medpot case shows cities were right to ban dispensaries outright" (Editorial, Aug. 24):
Your editorial completely misstates the meaning of the recent California Supreme Court decision on the medical marijuana case Pack v. Long Beach. It did not affirm the original ruling or a ban. It threw out the case entirely because the ordinance in question - Long Beach Municipal Code Section 5.87.020 - has been rescinded by the Long Beach City Council and replaced with a ban. Therefore, the question of whether LBMC 5.87.020 runs afoul of federal law is moot. Any questions unanswered before this week remain unanswered. Whether the city's ban is constitutional given Proposition 215 - the 1996 Compassionate Use Act legalizing marijuana for medical use - is entirely another matter and yet to be decided. The writer would do well to consult with attorneys other than Long Beach City Attorney Robert Shannon, who obviously is not going to make any interpretation that makes him look bad.
-- John Tecumseh, Signal Hill
Need more than passionRe "Romney but a placeholder for future" (Comment, Aug. 31):
Maureen Dowd states that Mitt Romney doesn't elicit passion. Well I can tell you this, I would much rather have a candidate who can prove that he is a strong and successful businessman any day. We've had almost four years of a man who can elicit passion, but not much else in the way of leadership. I think the qualifications for president of the United States should require much more than just being charismatic.
-- Sisson Stewart, Lancaster
Money stayed in townRe "Keep money in San Pedro" (Letters, Sept. 2):
It sounds more like the letter writer's real concern is about peace and quiet in their neighborhood. The Legends Car Club does a fantastic job in raising money for the blind and the Lions Club. The event is not designed to support downtown merchants, so don't expect the show to change venue any time soon. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. True, the event has grown and gets better each year. It is well organized, there is never trouble of any kind and everyone has a great time. Perhaps the letter writer should plan to visit next year, spend their money in San Pedro (many vendors were from San Pedro) and in the process make a charitable donation to a great cause - the Lions Club. Thanks for the concerns.
-- Carlos Trevino, San Pedro
New CAFE standardsThe Obama administration announced last week new fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks sold between 2017 and 2025 that will limit carbon pollution to 163 grams per mile and increase Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fuel-efficiency to 54.5 mpg. These standards will push automakers to innovate and produce cleaner, more efficient vehicles that use less oil. The average California family buying a car in 2025 will save $5,470 over the lifetime of the car, even after paying for advanced technology. According to a new BlueGreen Alliance report, the new standards will create 570,000 jobs nationally. California will save more than $10 billion - money we can reinvest in our infrastructure and local economy. We can breathe easier knowing we are on a path to cutting carbon pollution, while creating a stronger auto industry and economy. I applaud the Obama administration for taking this significant step to protect our health, environment and economy.

Strip Arnold of his titlesWhile reading the sad news about Lance Armstrong getting stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for allegations of doping, I couldn't help thinking about former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold has admitted using steroids during his bodybuilding career, which led to a career as an action movie star, which led to his election as governor. Therefore, shouldn't Arnold be stripped of his governorship?

Streets as giant ashtraysI want to vent about the Boeing plant at Carson Street and Lakewood Boulevard in Long Beach. There are many signs on the property about a tobacco-free workplace, but the employees use the streets as their personal ashtrays. There are at least a dozen employees on the sidewalk smoking and flicking their cigarette butts into the street, gutter and sewers, and we know where the butts go from the sewer - into the ocean. Multiply that many employees, three or four times a day, five days a week, that's a few thousand going into the ocean. Boeing should have this situation corrected.

Terrifying wordsRe "Obama: 'We're here to help' " (Daily Breeze, Sept. 4):

The 'worst' mayorRe "Mayor is ready for his close-up" (Daily News, Sept. 3):
Without a doubt, the worst mayor in the history of Los Angeles, and for the Democratic National Convention to invite him as a speaker, shows just how the Democratic Party celebrates incompetence. About the only useful purpose Antonio Villaraigosa would have is to wring the grease out of his head. You would have enough to change the oil in your car.
-- Brad Stein, Woodland Hills
Another plea to votersRe "A plea to voters" (Letters, Sept. 3):
The letter writer lives in Arizona and urges all Democrats in Los Angeles to vote for Obama. I live in the South Bay and I'm urging all my fellow Republicans to vote for Mitt Romney for president and Elizabeth Emken to replace Dianne Feinstein on Election Day. As the writer asks "Latinos for Obama," I am asking all "Latinos for Romney" to turn out and vote for Romney and Emken because we need your votes to win. As a matter of fact, I urge everyone to vote for Romney and Emken.

Alan Belcher weighs-in for UFC 77: Hostile Territory. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Rising middleweight Alan Belcher will likely return to action as he will take on white-hot Canadian Patrick Cote when the UFC ventures into Canada for the first time in history for UFC 83 on April 19th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.
Belcher confirmed the fight with MMA Junkie earlier today, stating that he had formally accepted the proposed bout.
The Biloxi, Mississippi native, who recently signed a new four-fight deal with the promotion, was originally scheduled to take on Ricardo Almeida this past weekend at UFC 81: Breaking Point but was forced to pull out of the bout after coming down with a severe case of bronchitis.
Belcher shook off a 1-2 start in the UFC and racked up impressive victories over Sean Salmon and Kalib Starnes in consecutive fights earlier last year.
Those that were expecting Cote to be a color commentator at the event received a pleasant surprise when UFC President Dana White announced that "The Predator" would be on the card as well, going up against an opponent yet to be announced.
Cote is coming off an impressive TKO win over fellow heavy-handed striker Drew McFedries at UFC Fight Night 12 last month. After losing his first four fights inside the confines of the UFC, Cote has gone on to win three straight fights and has established himself as one of the top middleweights in the division.

Farrah Franklin Planning Lawsuit After Arrest
Former Destiny's Child member Farrah Franklin is taking legal action against police following her arrest over the weekend.
As previously reported, Franklin was taken into custody early Saturday after dining out with friends in Culver City, Calif. Although official details have yet to be released, it was reported that the 29-year-old was intoxicated at the time of her arrest. According to Franklin, she was a victim of racial profiling at the hands of the Culver City Police Department.
"Unfortunately, I am the latest victim on what seems to be a growing list of those who are racially profiled and mistreated by Culver City Police," she told TMZ. "I was manhandled by the arresting officers. There were no female officers on duty and I was required to take off my top and treated unfairly."
"I am really upset about all that has taken place," she continued. "I have never had a run in with the law before Saturday. On Saturday I was not arrested, I was detained."
The singer also took to her Twitter page Monday (April 25) to announce that she would be taking legal action. "YES, I'm okay & YES there WILL be a lawsuit ! F— da Culver City Police !!!! You cant keep a good girl down," she wrote. Franklin also cleared up any misperception about her motive for going public on the matter. "4 the record I'm NOT trying 2 get media press #KillYoSelfHaters ! Only a dumb person who DOES NOT know ME would say dumb s— like that,SMH!"
At press time, Franklin did not respond to a request for comment.

Born and raised in Belfast, Janet Holmes first performed aged 14 and has remained fearless onstage ever since. A teenager in the early '80s, she fronted SOS, a heavy-rock gospel group, for over ten years - recording a single, appearing often on Ulster TV, touring Scotland and supporting international gospel rock artists visiting Belfast. In the early '90s she recorded an EP as the Bare Bones, an acoustic duo, and was regularly in demand as a backing vocalist on stage and record for many other local artists (including current Bob Harris fave Brian Houston).
Determinedly a 'hobby musician' during this period, things began to veer towards the pro music world with the formation of Bird-Dog in 1997. Bird-Dog fused classic bluegrass and Irish trad with Swing-era jazz. A potent fusion, the group's album, 'Traditional Roots', appeared within six months and they played throughout Northern Ireland, with numerous music bar residencies and Irish festival appearances. After a triumph at the European Bluegrass Festival in Holland (1999) a track from the group's set featured on the subsequent festival CD. Broadcasts included sessions and concerts for BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Scotland and Dutch radio. Janet left Bird-Dog in mid-2000 when the imminent arrival of a baby put all her musical options on hold.
Colin Harper - Belfast-based music writer and biographer, who had long regarded Janet, even back in SOS days, as a world class talent unrealised - invited her to front a track (under communal guise as 'The Legends Of Tomorrow') for the September 2000 Market Square Records release 'People On The Highway: A Bert Jansch Encomium'. Among many others contributing to this hugely popular album was long-retired cult British R&B singer Duffy Power. Duffy was completely knocked out by Janet's voice and, via Harper, initiated a series of 'virtual duets', recorded in London and Belfast, for the forthcoming swansong Duffy Power album 'True' (his first in 30 years!).
Inspired by the belief in Janet shown by Duffy - a man who has worked with the very best of his time, from Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker to John McLaughlin and Rod Argent - Harper decided that such a world-class vocalist deserved a fair hearing on a national level - even if he had to make it happen himself... And he did!
'The Road To The West' - sleeved in the beautiful, dreamlike art of pre-war Belfast art visionary John Luke - is the result, encompassing influences that range from the bittersweet country sound of Emmylou Harris to the sweet soul of Paul Carrack. Some tracks emphasise one influence or another; lead track 'Be The One' - co-written with current 'alt. rock' sensation and recording artist for Bright Star Iain Archer - gets the blend just right.
After the success of 'The Road to the West' Janet went on to record 'Wonder Why' which has a more mellow country sound. The other big difference this time is that Janet wrote 9 of the 13 tracks herself and it has received great critical acclaim. Jack Bernhardt music writer for North Carolina's "News and Observer" said:
" 'Wonder Why' the alluring self produced second CD by singer/songwriter Janet Holmes deserves a place alongside the most celebrated recordings on both sides of the Pond. Her influences include American Folk and Country. Her songs are intelligent and hopeful, inward-looking reflections on affairs of the heart and essence of the soul. Holmes has been called a world class talent unrealized. 'Wonder Why' could bring her to the attention of a wider audience who may appreciate one of Ireland's finest artists"
The Present
Ferguson, Holmes and Henry, our trio, has just released a new CD of original material. All the music was written variously by ourselves. Check it out at www.reverbnation.com/fergusonholmesandhenry

Johnson was honored for his dedication and faithful service to the Board of Directors of Downtown Oak Park, for his investment in the district, his leadership and involvement on behalf of the Board, and his contributions to the community of Oak Park. "He does things, large and small, for our town, and we are forever grateful. No other single person contributes what Willis contributes," emphasizes Zubak. Click here to see the official article.

Quiz: Energy News 2011
Photograph by Yuri Kozyrev, NOOR/Time/Redux
How closely did you follow the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, the controversy over natural gas "fracking," and the gyrations of the oil market in 2011? Try this quiz and see how much you know about this year's top energy news headlines.
How much did Tokyo Electric Power Company's electric power supply drop after the March 11 Tohuku earthquake and tsunami?
- 20 percent
- 30 percent
- 40 percent
- 50 percent
Because of loss of cooling power at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant that resulted in the facility's catastrophic failure, and the temporary loss of other nuclear and thermal power plants, TEPCO's supply capacity fell 40 percent in the immediate wake of the earthquake and tsunami.
By 2035, how much of the United States' natural gas supply will come from hydraulic fracturing of shale, by the estimate of U.S. government energy forecasters?
- 36 percent
- 46 percent
- 56 percent
- 66 percent
At a projected 46 percent of U.S. supply in 25 years, hydraulically fractured shale will be the nation's largest single source of natural gas, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected in 2011.
Libya's rebellion (see photo), and the resulting curtailment of exports, was blamed in part for rising global oil prices in 2011. How much of the world's petroleum production did Libya contribute before the conflict?
- 1 percent
- 2 percent
- 10 percent
- 20 percent
Libya, with Africa's largest proven oil reserves, produced 1.8 million barrels per day in 2010, or 2 percent of the 87 million barrels a day of oil produced globally.
What was the innovation for which Solyndra was known before its bankruptcy, which put U.S. taxpayers on the hook due to a $535 million federal government loan guarantee?
- Thin film panels that cost substantially less than conventional photovoltaics
- Innovative financing arrangements that resulted in immediate payback to customers
- Cylindrical panels that capture reflected as well as direct sunlight
- Panels that use lenses to concentrate light and require fewer photovoltaic cells
Solyndra boasted its design was "the new shape of solar," cylindrical modules that captured sunlight across a 360-degree photovoltaic surface. Although its panels used thin film PV, they were relatively pricey because the company bet on incorporating a non-silicon compound when silicon prices were plummeting.
Some of the biggest electric companies in the United States announced plans to shut down aging coal power plants in 2011. What factor was NOT among the reasons cited for the pullback from coal?
- Competition from low-priced natural gas
- Pressure from local residents
- Pending federal regulations to control smog, mercury, other pollutants, and water intake
- Pending national cap-and-trade program to control greenhouse gases
The electric power industry frequently cited a variety of pending new Environmental Protection Agency regulations for the decisions, but no federal cap-and-trade program was on the horizon. In some cases, the shutdowns came as the result of agreements with local authorities. Some companies said low natural gas prices gave them an opportunity to switch fuels.
All of the following countries moved to cut government subsidies to renewable energy in 2011 EXCEPT:
- Germany
- The United Kingdom
- The Netherlands
- China
A diverse array of subsidies helped propel China to a world-leading position in solar energy, including low-rate loans from state-owned lending institutions and cheap or free land from local governments. Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands all moved to reduce government support of renewable energy in 2011.
China's energy demand had edged past that of the United States by 2010. By 2035, how will China's consumption compare to that of the United States, by International Energy Agency projections?
- It will be about the same.
- It will be 28 percent higher.
- It will be 48 percent higher.
- It will be 68 percent higher.
The IEA forecasts that China's energy demand will exceed that of the United States by 68 percent in 25 years, when it projects that China and India together will be responsible for 31 percent of world energy consumption.
Following are a list of routes for new pipelines that have been proposed in North America. Which is the planned path of the Keystone XL pipeline, on which the Obama administration has delayed a decision pending study of alternate routes?
- Hardisty, Alberta, to Nederland, Texas
- Bradford County to Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
- Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia
- Williston Basin, North Dakota, to Baker, Montana
Transcanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline would carry oil from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to the refining centers of Texas near Port Arthur. Environmentalists protested the route as a spur to further energy-intensive oil sands development, while the state of Nebraska objected to its path through environmentally sensitive areas.
In the United States, Russia, and Norway, there were moves in 2011 toward petroleum exploration in the Arctic. The area north of the Arctic Circle holds how much of the world's undiscovered oil, according to the U.S. Geological Survey?
- 6 percent
- 13 percent
- 16 percent
- 33 percent
A 2008 USGS assessment concluded the Arctic contains 90 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil, or about 13 percent of the world total.
As of 2011, how many years does the world have to make a dramatic turnaround in policies to avoid severe impacts of climate change, in the view of the International Energy Agency?
- Five
- Seven
- Ten
- Twenty
The IEA's annual World Energy Outlook concluded that the world has a window of only five years to enact policies to keep global warming below 3.6°F (2°C), a threshold many countries have pledged to stay below.

Exploring ubuntu discourse in South Africa: Loss, liminality and hope
Published: 19 June 2015
Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article forms part of broader research into perceptions of difference and threat, and prejudice on the part of South Africans towards foreigners. Ubuntu is a social value that should challenge prejudice and xenophobia and shape social relationships. Research in a rural and urban context in the Eastern Cape suggests that ubuntu discourse has been eroded and is in need of reinvigoration.

First and last P&O Cruise: Azura Cruise Review by Jean Hancock
Overall Member Rating
First and last P&O Cruise
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Southampton
Having taken an initial cruise with Royal Caribbean last year we thought we would try a different cruise line to make a comparison. Due to the itinerary that was advertised we selected the P&O Azura. In hindsight this is the worst holiday decision that we have ever made.
Embarkation was poorly organised. Checking passengers in was a quicker process than the security checks so on two occasions the process was suspended making the wait lengthy.
We dined in the Oriental restaurant which is supposedly silver service. Our waiters half threw the plates at you. The food was indifferent and P&O's policy of providing the main course with two extra vegetables would be improved if the extra vegetables were not the same as the type already sitting on your plate.
We took breakfast and lunch in the self service restaurants. Finding a table was never easy. These restaurants are far too More small for the number of passengers and the staff are moody and unco-operative. After a few days we were so frustrated that we resorted to room service.
The entertainment was appalling. Several clapped out comedians on for two nights each barely raising a laugh amongst the audience. A George Michael tribute act that was absolutely dire although to be fair to him he did appear two nights later as Freddie Mercury to achieve an even worse performance.
We thought perhaps we could watch a film. The same few films were repeated all of the cruise. But no matter because we couldn't watch them as they were shown outside on the Seascreen (it seems that P&O couldn't care that we were in Iceland). We must applaud the one person that I saw watching the film at 11pm with his overcoat on and wrapped in a blanket he was obviously a much hardier soul than ourselves.
Similarly swimming in the pool was also difficult as the pools are outside apart from the one that requires payment to use.
All in all this was an appalling holiday experience and one we will not be repeating. So for our next cruise we will likely be back to Royal Caribbean as in our experience they provide much better facilities and service at a more competitive price. Less

Cabin review: JGC227 Balcony Stateroom
Bathroom very small with an unhygenic curtain rather than fixed doors. The provision of tea and coffee and a refrigerator in our cabin was welcome. P & O's policy of allowing passengers to smoke on their balcony did restrict our use of the balcony. This policy needs amending to reflect the current policy of many other cruise lines.Read All Balcony Stateroom (JG) Reviews >>

Explore: Chefchaouen, Morocco2014-07-04 3 Share Tweet
This week's destination is the lovely, picturesque town of Chefchaouen. Hop on!
The Kingdom of Morocco has long been a favorite destination among tourists, with most of its major draws found in the more popular cities like Marrakech, Tangier, and Casablanca. But tucked in the northeastern part of this country is the town of Chefchaouen, or Chaouen as it is also known as. Located on the Rif Mountains near the Mediterranean Sea, the town is famous for its blue-washed buildings. The Lonely Planet explains that this old practice began more for religious than aesthetic reasons, following Jewish beliefs suggesting that by dyeing thread with the ancient blue dye tekhelel for prayer shawls, "people would be reminded of God's power."
Today, it's exactly this unique architecture, coupled with a laidback atmosphere, that draws tourists to Chefchaouen. Aside from these, the town also boasts of a unique shopping experience at its colorful medina, gastronomic treats, and adventurous treks to valleys, gorges, forests, the sea, and other nearby villages.
All information in this article were sourced from Lonely Planet, Amusing Planet, and Wikipedia.

I love me some RHONJ. Not as much as I did when Danielle Staub was still allowed to be on the show, but it's still DVR worthy.
And seeing that my fall shows will be starting up again soon, I figured I needed to catch up on some of my summer recordings to make space.
So if you're watching, you've for sure already seen this "beauty."
If not, this is what you missed. I call it "Teresa's Triple What?!" moment.
I'm not sure what confuses me more. That look? Or the person that said to her, "Oh look at you. You go gurl, you got this."

Federal funding helps Panhandle after flooding
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
MIAMI — Federal funding will help communities in the Florida Panhandle return to normal after a major flooding over the July 4th holiday week, state emergency management officials said.
"Helping communities return to normal after a disaster is our first priority and this assistance is an important first step in that process," said Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Bryan W. Koon in a statement.
Gov. Rick Scott announced on Friday that the state had received a Presidential Disaster Declaration to assist counties in the Panhandle affected by severe storms and flooding. Holmes, Walton and Washington Counties have been declared for Public Assistance.
Scott requested the disaster declaration. The state estimates there was $29 million worth of damage caused by the heavy rains.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Public Assistance program provides grant assistance for debris removal and emergency protective measures. Costs for repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly-owned facilities can also be covered.
Counties across the Panhandle felt significant impacts to homes, roadways, and infrastructure due to the storms with some areas receiving over 12 inches of rain between July 2nd and July 7th. Walton and Washington Counties received nearly 20 inches of rain. Rivers in the Florida Panhandle reached flood stage, including the Choctawhatchee River in Walton County, which reached major flood stage, officials said.

The Terra Nova is your first clue.
We're looking for a city along the North Sea Coast of Scotland.
It's about a third of the way up the east coast of Scotland, north of Edinburgh and south of Aberdeen, but on a little estuary.
That estuary is called the Firth of Tay. This Scottish city is where a whaling ship called the Terra Nova was built.
The wooden ship has an interesting history that includes a starring role in the 1912 Race to the South Pole.
Captain Robert Falcon Scott set off from Cardiff aboard the Terra Nova in 1910 hoping to become the first expedition to reach the South Pole.
This summer a team of scientists was sonar mapping the Atlantic sea bed off the coast of Greenland. And they spotted something lying on the seabed.
Sure enough it's the shipwrecked Terra Nova.
The Terra Nova is considered one of the finest Scottish-built, wooden ships.
And she made some daring voyages on the Southern Ocean according to Brian Kelly, an education officer at the Discovery Point Museum in Dundee, Scotland (the answer to the Geo Quiz).

'Do the Right Thing': Issues and Images
Published: July 9, 1989
Spike Lee's new film, ''Do the Right Thing'' - which depicts racial tensions on the hottest day of the summer in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, ending with the killing of a black man by the police and a riot - has generated considerable discussion about its portrayal of blacks, racism and violence. The New York Times recently invited a group to explore issues raised by the film.
The participants were Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell, New York City's Commissioner of Cultural Affairs; Henry Louis Gates Jr., W. E. B. Du Bois professor of education and sociology at Cornell University; Nathan Glazer, professor of education and sociology at Harvard University; Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, associate professor of psychiatry and associate dean for student affairs, Harvard Medical School; Burton B. Roberts, administrative judge of the State Supreme Court in the Bronx; Paul Schrader, who wrote the screenplays for ''Taxi Driver'' and ''The Last Temptation of Christ'' and directed ''Patty Hearst''; Dr. Betty Shabazz, an administrator at the Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York and the widow of Malcolm X, and editors of the Arts and Leisure section. Here are excerpts from the conversation. GATES: I think the film is an allegory of the melting-pot myth in the United States. The brilliance of the film to me is in how well it re-creates the way in which all these ethnic groups are interacting on this corner in an American inner city. It's a war of culture fought out at the level of economics. Economic relationships, which are at war with each other in the society, are masked through their cultural manifestations. POUSSAINT: I agree with some of the things Henry says. But you can't escape the fact that the movie's primarily about race and poverty. Sal in the pizzeria. The Koreans. The animosities that develop. But it's not simply done; it's very complex, and the climax comes with a riot focused around a racial confrontation.
Everybody in the film is a racist. It has to do, in addition to race, with an inner city in a ghetto situation, where there's been a lot of frustration. The police clearly are representatives of an oppressive society in the film. And the oracle [ Smiley, a stuttering, retarded young man who tries to peddle copies of what is said to be the only existing picture of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. together ] , whatever he is, smiling, talking about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
The issues [ Spike Lee ] brought up I could identify with political positions in the black community. Cultural political positions, from the boom blaster to the fellow with the haircut [ Buggin Out, who stirs up the customers at Sal's Pizzeria by demanding that portraits of blacks be included among the photographs of Italians on the pizzeria ''Wall of Fame'' ] to the three corner men who sit around talking, and the frustrations.
But I didn't feel, as a psychiatrist, that the movie got to the bottom - at least not to my satisfaction - of where the anger and frustration was coming from. SCHRADER: I hope someone here doesn't like the movie, because I came to defend it. It's not going to be any fun if everyone else likes it. Being a film maker myself, I naturally am prone to think it's about a film maker's vision. And it is. It is a film about very real immediate social issues, but it's also a personal statement by an upper-middle-class educated black trying to figure out what the right thing is, and all the ramifications of that title. And so that you can see the film [ as ] one man's dilemma about where he stands at this particular time and place, not only as a citizen of a specific community but also of a larger community. SHABAZZ: We have a problem, those of us who are in education and particularly in higher education, with the attrition rate in our colleges. Very bright students somehow drop out, and students don't finish. And I thought it was an excellent way to get an inside track on the thinking of some young people. For instance, that young fellow with that big whatever it was. POUSSAINT: Boom blaster. SHABAZZ: Boom blaster, it was exactly that. And I found it very humorous that he needed 20 D batteries. Twenty! But what you have to do is find out what makes some people tick. He said, ''I like it. It is the only thing I like.'' So that you were able to really get inside some of the people. I felt like it was what I needed to see in order to do what I'm supposed to be doing better.
I saw this film as for all of those people who live in ivory towers, who don't get into the inner city. It says that we need to do something. Stereotypes or Cultural Touchstones? CAMPBELL: Dr. Gates used the term allegory. And after I came out of the film, I thought of the word parable - the sense that it was a film about - that kind of stood for - the whole illogic of racial virulence. We really don't talk about it. We leave it as a kind of a subtext, but it's there all the time. The film pierced the surface of that, laid everything on the table.


text: I was putting my trailer on the truck yesterday and the part inside the coupler that holds the coupler on the ball got caught on top of the ball. It looks fine but something seems to be wrong with it now . It will hold the ball fine, but when I unhook the trailer I have to get a screw driver and pry the little plate back out so I have hook up the ball again. Any ideas on how to fix it?? I took the whole assembly out today and put it back in again but still the same problem. The spring inside is not broken and all parts appear fine, just seems like the plate inside won't move freely.

SEATTLE -- Starbucks said it will begin selling its coffee and Tazo tea in K-Cup portion packs for Keurig brewers in November.
In March, Starbucks announced a deal with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, maker of the Keurig single-cup system, that designates the Seattle roaster as the exclusive licensed super-premium brand for the brewer for the duration of the agreement. Terms of that deal were not disclosed. | SEE STORY
Starbucks K-Cups will launch in grocery, drug, department and wholesale stores in the U.S. at the end of the year. They will be available in Canada, as well as at Starbucks and Green Mountain's websites early next year. Starbucks cafés will begin selling Keurig brewers and Starbucks K-Cups later in 2012.
Dunkin Brands began selling its own K-Cups at its Dunkin Donuts stores in August. | SEE STORY

Lipid metabolism, adipocyte depot physiology and utilization of meat animals as experimental models for metabolic research. International Journal of Biological Sciences. 6(7):691-9. Interpretive Summary: A number of experimental cell cultures and cell preparations from farm animals can be just as effective for biomedical purposes as the typical rat and mouse models. Farm animals are also very good models for fat cell studies because of their economic value for animal production. Major farm animals are valuable as models for studying fat metabolism and consequently represent an alternative effective model of the metbolic syndrome.
Technical Abstract: Meat animals are unique as experimental models for both lipid metabolism and adipocyte studies because of their direct economic value for animal production. This paper discusses the principles that regulate adipogenesis in major meat animals (beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs), the definition of adipose depot-specific regulation of lipid metabolism or adipogenesis, and introduces the potential value of these animals as models for metabolic research including mammary biology and the ontogeny of fatty livers.

Wind energy credit near expiration
Amid the "fiscal cliff" drama on Capitol Hill, there's a behind-the-scenes push to extend a lucrative tax credit that has helped propel a recent boom in the wind industry.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers aims to attach a one-year extension of the credit, slated to expire at the end of December, to a broad budget deal that would avert the fiscal cliff's tax increases and spending cuts.
What if Congress and President Obama can't reach an overall deal?
"Wind would take a hit," said Michael Bernier, who analyzes renewable energy tax credits for Ernst & Young, a global accounting firm.
Bernier said the tax credit has helped the wind industry expand quickly and slash prices. Projected to add a record 13 megawatts of power this year, the industry has accounted for one-third of new U.S. power generation in the last five years.
Without the credit, Bernier said, the industry will contract, adding that the extent will depend partly on competing prices for natural gas. Government data show the 20-year-old production tax credit, which cuts the cost of a wind project by nearly a third, has expired three times before: in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Wind production plummeted the year after each lapse by 93 percent, 73 percent and 77 percent, respectively.
"It (another expiration) would be devastating. ... Half the jobs in the industry could be lost within a year," said Robert Gramlich of the American Wind Energy Industry Association, an industry group.
Gramlich points to a report by Navigant Consulting that estimates an expiration would kill 37,000 jobs by the end of March, whereas a renewal could add up to 100,000 jobs in four years.
The uncertainty over the wind credit has caused thousands of wind workers to lose their jobs.
this year, Gramlich said, citing recent layoffs by wind turbine manufacturers Siemens Wind Power and Katana Summit.
"A lot of people are nervous there won't be an extension. ... We're seeing people diversify into solar," Bernier said. Unlike the 2.2-cents-a-kilowatt-hour wind credit, which has been subject to one-year, last-minute renewals, the solar industry enjoys an investor tax credit of 30 percent through 2016.
The wind industry should receive consistent tax breaks, as do other energy sectors, including the $4 billion or so in annual subsidies received by the oil and gas industries since the 1960s, Gramlich said.
Critics say it's time to end the wind tax credit, estimated to cost taxpayers $1.3 billion this year alone. They say the wind industry, which provides about 3 percent of U.S. electricity, should be mature enough to compete without training wheels.
"This is an example of a program that's run its course," said Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a group funded partly by oil interests that's lobbying against the tax credit. Pyle said the wind industry is using its subsidy to underbid other energy sectors and manipulate the market.
Richard Caperton, an energy expert at the liberal-leaning Center for American Progress, said the wind credit may be forcing lower energy prices and corporate profits but not to an extent that harms energy reliability. He said the nuclear and hydropower industries also use subsidies to bid for contracts at below-zero or negative pricing.
If there's a deal on the fiscal cliff, many observers expect a one-year extension will pass because of its bipartisan support.
"Wind blows in the rural areas where there are a lot of Republicans," Pyle said.
Advocates for the credit include GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Steve King, both of Iowa, which received about 20 percent of its power last year from wind.
Douglas Egan, who develops wind and natural gas projects as co-founder of Competitive Power Ventures, is less optimistic. He said the typical one-year extension is "almost worthless" because it requires new wind projects be completed within a year in order to benefit. He said it often takes longer than that.
"Sooner or later, we have to stand on our own feet," Egan said, adding that the wind industry could manage a gradual step-down in subsidies.
The tax credit — if extended — might have more helpful language this time, said Gramlich, the industry advocate. By a 19-5 vote in August, the Senate Finance Committee approved an extension that requires wind projects be started — but not necessarily completed — by the end of 2013 to qualify for the credit.
The fiscal cliff adds drama to the 2012 debate, but extensions often come down to the wire, he noted. Prior renewals have come, on average, seven days before expiration.
"It's very common to be in this exact position," Gramlich said.

Berlin (Sep. 20)
An appeal to the Jews of America not to abandon in the future the help they have been giving to their fellow Jews of Europe to emigrate was issued today by Professor Albert Einstein. The Jewish leaders of Europe are alarmed at the report that the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society of New York was about to give up its activities in Europe on behalf of Jewish emigrants because of lack of funds.
Dr. Einstein said, "The situation of East-European Jewry, especially of the immigrant, is in the highest degree critical, and the abandonment of assistance by American Jews would be catastrophic. In the name of social justice for Jews everywhere I join in the call for the continuance of the brotherly help".
A call to American Jews not to let the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society give up its work on behalf of the emigrants has also been issued jointly by Rabbi Leo Baeck, president of the German B'nai B'rith and Rabbis Ezra Munk and Meyer Hildesheimer, three of the leading rabbis of Germany. The appeal reads:
"We are deeply grieved over the report that the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), the old emigrant relief organization, is contemplating the abandonment of its great work in Europe. Support for our oppressed co-religionists of Eastern Europe is vital. In the name of human justice and Jewish 'rachmones' (pity) we ask that the relief work on behalf of Jewish emigrants be not abandoned. It is one of the greatest 'mitzvoth' (good deeds) possible. Particularly before Rosh Hashanah we appeal to you American Jews to strain all your efforts to help your brethren".

>>>>> "THH" == The Hermit Hacker <firstname.lastname@example.com> writes: THH> right now, it sends me a message that states that a 'user unknown' was THH> detected ... any way of just getting it to unregister that user and THH> save me a several hundred mail messages to wade through? :) Not yet. The first phase is detection of actual bounces and parsing of those that we can parse (relying on our VERP implementation for the rest). I'm working on this steadily as I get bounces that the software doesn't parse. Next is statistics gathering. If you wanted to always remove a user the first time you see a bounce from them, we can do that. But that's pretty harsh, so we need to gather data so we can detect bounces. Finally comes the decision making: when does an address get removed? For statistics gathering, I'm just planning to store a list of bounced message numbers and times in the subscriber database. If we keep info on the past several bounces then when we can get a bounce we can say: This is the only bounce from the user in the last N messages. The user has bounced the past M consecutive messages. The user has bounced M (X%) of the past N messages. The user has bounced M messages in the past day (week, month). You get odd effects from delayed bounces because the bounces don't happen in step with the messages being sent but I don't envision it being a problem. You just have to decide when to remove stuff. There are lots of ways to do this, but then I was thinking the other day that we already have a pretty good method: access_rules. Just keep the same basic parser and hook it up to a bounce_rules variable: remove $days_since_subscribe < 2 keep $bounce_consecutive < 5 remove $bounce_percent > 60 || $bounce_consecutive >= 10 would remove any address that bounces at all within the first two days after the user signed up, then keeps addresses which are bouncing which haven't bounced five in a row, then bounces any address that has bounced either 60% of the last N messages or the last ten messages in a row. Not too difficult to implement, and all available straight from some simple gathered statistics. THH> Or ... how about for 'known bounces', create a daily summary and THH> discarding the bounces? That is another useful step. These should be logged, and we can use the inform variable to designate whether the owner is notified for each identified bounce, if they are notified in a periodic report or if they aren't told at all. Unfortunately, the report generation stuff has yet to be written. This would be a great thing for someone not intimately affiliated with the project to work on; we have a global master log and a number of message logs per list; all are in text format and should be easy to parse. I even have some prototype code. I've always been excited about writing this but never had the time. - J<

Ratings for Dr. Robert H. Lesnik
Great Dermatologist!! Had a few moles removed. He also checked my skin over. Super Dr.
Small removal of skin cancers. Response to me on these skin cancers QUICK!!
He.helped me with some brown spots on my face and legs. Freezing the areas and using a bleaching cream. It is working. Using the bleaching cream daily , also using Cotz 58 sunscreen.
I've seen this doctor many times and have always been impressed. He has a good staff and I always get to see him rather than an assistant. I've had moles removed by him and there's no scars. He also cured a rash right away. He cares a lot and knows a lot.
Great doctor and staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a mole removed, and I can't even see a mark.
I've lived in the desert for 18 years. I heard about Dr. Lesnik from friends as the best dermatologist in the Coachella Valley, and he is. I've been going to him for about 15 years. You should ignore the planted comments by competitors or disgruntled x-employees. The web is full of those! He is the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I have. His staff is wonderful. He answers questions, returns his calls and gives you the time you need, but still manages to be on time. He's taken out a few skin cancers on me, and I can't even find the scars. He quickly cured a few rashes too. Look at his credentials in the phone book or on his website. I recommend him strongly.
went to have moles checked and area burnt off by nose. Zapped the wrong area. Mistook an old scar for the spot. When I told him he got my scar and not the right area he said that was ok it will flatten the scar out.I hope when it heals it is not worse then before as I scar easily. It would then be aa big deal. I will not be a return patient needless to say.
If your appointment is at 9:00 a.m. he will show up at 11:00a.m. When you reschedule he does the same thing. his staff also complains because they have to explain it to his patients. Don't waist your time.
I have been seeing Dr Lesnik since 2003. I have found him to be well qualified and he has quite effectively taken care of all of my concerns. I am troubled by the poor rating given him by one person and find their experience shocking and hard to believe. Anyone can say anything so we must keep that in mind when considering posted comments. Would Dr Lesnik have a healthy practice if he was not well respected? B Butterton, La Quinta
I went to this doctor multiple times to get two facial moles removed. The first three appointments I waited almost two hours and left. The fourth time I waited over an hour but was finally called in. I waited another 45 minutes in the exam room when a nurse finally came in. She uncapped a needle on a syringe, drew medication, and set the still uncapped needle directly on an object laying on a counter, therefore contaminating it. I asked her to replace it and explained why. The doctor finally came in, deadened an area on the side of my nose and above the lip. As he was removing the nose mole, he slipped with the scalpel and sliced the tip of my nose. He then used a device with a hot tip to caurterize the wound then decided he was going to burn, without any warning, a visible vein lower on my nose. The problem was this vein was outside the deadened area resulting in a great deal of pain.

Poor radio reception
Well it only took me 10 months to finally find time to diagnose why I have no radio reception. Anyway, after removing the radio, I found the antenna lead was disconnected. Upon reconnecting it, I am getting only poor radio reception. I would rate it as a 3 out of 10.... 10 being crystal clear. I live in the inner suburbs of Brisbane, so reception is never an issue with my location.
What other possible issues could be occurring that I can check to get this working a bit better?
Here's a photo of the connection. I assume this all looks correct. It doesn't feel overly stable and secure once plugged in though. It only felt like it wanted to push in to maybe 90% of the depth of the plug on the end of the lead.
Thanks for your help guys.
Cheers, Brett

We all know that chocolate comes in many different forms and seems to be a favorite indulgence for most people. After all, Fairytale Brownies are made from chocolate, Callebaut Belgian Dark Chocolate which is the finest chocolate you will find, as the cocoa beans are selected, roasted, and ground by Callebaut themselves -- which is a rarity among chocolate makers. The beans are actually roasted in their own shell to protect them. That keeps in all of the aromas and subtleties which yields a more intense cocoa flavor.
I recently discovered there is another form of chocolate when I received an orchid from Hawaii; the Oncidium Sharry Baby, better known as the chocolate orchid. This is not an edible flower rather a fun and fragrant orchid which fills the room with the sweet scent of chocolate and just a hint of vanilla. I truly am a lover of all things chocolate and now I have the best of both worlds as I smell the aroma of chocolate brownies baking all day long at work and at the end of my day, I have the luxury of smelling the sweet scent of my beautiful chocolate orchid.

Police have dug up the backyard of a home in a small fishing town in the hope learning what happened to a man who disappeared in suspicious circumstances four years ago.
Homicide squad detectives and SES personnel searched the former home of Douglas Kally in Indented Head on the Bellarine Peninsula and a neighbouring on Thursday.
Police said he disappeared without a trace from the town, about one-and-a-half hours south-west of Melbourne, in October 2008.
Detectives were acting on new information they received after Mr Kally's family gave an impassioned plea on the weekend to learn what happened to the father of five.
Homicide Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Snare said police were treating the 48-year-old's disappearance as suspicious, believing he may have met with foul play in the Indented Head area.
Police searched Mr Kally's home, which has since been sold, in McDonald Street and a neighbouring paddock behind the property.
He said police were merely looking for clues about what happened to Mr Kally, also known as Dragon Dordevic and the search remained ongoing.
"We have a long road ahead of us," he said
Police have set up an information caravan in the town and believe somebody in Indented Head knows what happened to him.
"We are urging them to contact police."
Mr Kally's family reported him missing in October, 2008. Initial reports indicated the father of five might be in New South Wales. But police said no trace of the 48-year-old has been found. His bank accounts have not been accessed.
Mr Kally's brother Alex Dordevic said his sibling had gone to ground in the past, but never for more than a month.
"We'd like to know is he dead or is he alive, so we can get on with our lives," Mr Dordevic said.
"Every time a car pulls up next to me and [the person inside] is of a similar appearance to my brother, I have to look three or four times, and say 'is that my brother'?"
Mr Dordevic says his family wants closure. He has concerns for his 76-year-old father who is struggling without answers about his son, the eldest of nine siblings.
People with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) International
Billabong Pro Mundaka
Stop No. 9 of 11 on the 2008 ASP World Tour
Mundaka, Euskadi/Spain
September 30-October 12, 2008
MUNDAKA, Basque Country/Spain (Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008) – ASP World Tour ratings leader Kelly Slater (USA) was 7.31 points away from clinching his ninth ASP World Title when he was beaten by Australia's Adrian Buchan in their French final bout yesterday. Slater now has to secure an equal 9th finish at next week's Billabong Pro Mundaka to clinch crown No.9.
"I was one wave away [from the title]," Slater said. "One wave away is a lot closer than two heats but we'll see how we go."
Slater won his last world title in Mundaka and will do so again this year should he advance out of Round 3. If he doesn't, and reigning ASP World Champion Mick Fanning (AUS) or World No. 2 Taj Burrow win the event, the race will continue to Brazil. Slater will match-up with wildcards in the early rounds.
"In Mundaka for some reason I haven't had trouble in those wildcard heats but in Brazil I have before," Slater said. "Taj and Mick haven't won this year but they've both won in Brazil and they've gotten seconds and thirds in Mundaka, so those are good contests for those guys. But worse case scenario for me, it will be narrowed down to one guy at the next event."
Bobby Martinez (USA) has won the event for the last two years – the only two times he's competed in Mundaka. Martinez finished equal 5th in France and now sits 7th on the ratings.
"It's so tough because I just got lucky with waves and my luck is bound to run out sometime so it could be this year," Martinez said. "Mundaka has been a cool place to me the last couple of years and it will always be cool no matter what happens but I've never done good in France and then I've done good in Spain so I'm just hoping it's not the other way around this year since I just did alright in France."
The Billabong Pro Mundaka waiting period stretches from next Monday, September 30 to Sunday, October 12.
Top 10 ASP World Tour Ratings going into the Billabong Pro Mundaka:
1. Kelly Slater (USA) – 7852 points
2. Taj Burrow (AUS) – 6002 points
3. Bede Durbidge (AUS) – 5668 points
4. Adriano De Souza (BRA) – 5426 points

Hibbert's playoff career high 29 point-10 rebound performance led Indy's attack. Paul George remained hot in the playoffs scoring 22 points and even added a highlight reel dunk over the Heat's Chris Andersen in the third quarter.
LeBron James had a spectacular second half scoring 19 of 36 points and was able to aid the multiple comebacks by the Heat. James gave Miami a lead with 3:31 left in the game but the team failed to make another field goal at the end of the game. It was a hoop by David West and his defense on the opposite end that gave the Pacers the edge late and got them home court advantage heading back home.
The Pacers are undefeated at home this postseason winning all six games at the Fieldhouse. They are a very good team at home and feed off the energy of the home crowd. It will be up to the Heat to prove their league best road record was no fluke as they head into a hostile environment. Miami is 4-0 in this year's playoffs on the road. Also, Indiana is much better at home offensively, getting four wins by scoring 100 points or more in the playoffs. In Game 1, Indy got to 100 points in overtime and proved they have scorers to keep up with Miami.
As a team with a high scoring bench, that was not the case for the Heat in Game two because no one even hit double figures outside of "The Big Three" in Game two. James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh combined for 67 of the Heat's 93 points. With minimal contributions from the bench, it was hard for James to dish the ball to his teammates with the lack of efficiency from reserves and the defense of the Pacers. The bench must get involved early on so they can take some of the stress off of the starters especially Wade and Chalmers.
Wade is still nursing a bone bruise on his right knee that he has admitted will not get better with rest and that he will have to play through the pain at such an important part of team's season. Chalmers injured his left shoulder in series opener but was able to play a full load of minutes in Game two. He appeared to aggravate the injury when West made contact with the shoulder early in the game. Chalmers was limited to six points and missed both of his three-point field goal attempts. Both Wade and Chalmers are listed as probable and are expected to play on Sunday night.
Indiana guard George Hill played Game two with a sprained toe on his left foot and came up with 18 points including the final four free throws that sealed the victory. With a solid stat line in Game two, he should be good to go in the next game.
The Heat will need to play better defense and find a way to stop Hibbert and West from getting so much action in the paint. The mismatches caused by Indiana down low is causing Miami fits and is showing their most noticeable flaw, which is the lack of size. On the offensive end, the bench needs to step up if the defending champs want to reclaim home court advantage in Game 3. If this game is like the previous two, expect both teams to grind it out and take it down to the wire with the Heat trying to win its first game in Indiana since last year's playoff run.

The Food and Drug Administration should simply approve without further delay over-the-counter (OTC) sale of emergency contraception - with no prescriptions required for any age group. This obviates the need for any new rulemaking. The two advisory FDA committees that exhaustively reviewed data in December 2003 found that emergency contraception was safe and effective and consequently recommended OTC approval.
More than 70 professional medical and public health associations including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Adolescent Medicine have endorsed EC access for women of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged its members to "help ensure that all adolescents have knowledge of and access to contraception, including barrier methods and EC supplies.
