Carver's affirmations
The great scientist saw himself as God's instrument
Peanut Butter, Peanut Brittle, Peanut Sausage, Peanut Punch, Peanut Powder, Peanut Wafers, Peanut Oil, Peanut Chili, Peanut Cream, Peanut Malt, Peanut Coke, Peanut Cutlet, Peanut Flour, Peanut Cake, Peanut Wine, Peanut Loaf, Peanut Relish ...
Like Bubba the shrimper in Forrest Gump, George Washington Carver is remembered today, if at all, largely for his favoring of one food. Carver gained a national reputation in 1921 when he delighted the House Ways and Means Committee with a Washington show-and-tell. In the committee's ornate chamber, pulling out products he had developed like peanut cereal, chocolate-covered peanuts, peanut milk, and peanut syrup, Carver let slide a racial jibe from Rep. John Tilson of Connecticut: "Do you want a watermelon to go along with that?"
With the publicity that began that day, Carver became probably the most famous African-American of the 1920s and 1930s. Born a slave in 1860, his scientific investigations led him to make significant contributions to mycology (the study of fungi) and to improved production of pigments, paints, and stains. As a professor at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama for over four decades, he challenged thousands of black students to rise above racial prejudice and not just complain about it.
He's not on the A-list, though, for celebrations of Black History Month over the next four weeks. Among others prominent in the 1920s, W.E.B. DuBois is remembered for his left-wing politics, and artists of the Harlem Renaissance for their cultural radicalism. To those who demand rapid societal change, Carver's creativity in making the growing of peanuts and other crops economical and popular seems like small sweet potatoes (another of his high-nutrition, low-cost recommendations).
Last month's 60th anniversary of Carver's death (Jan. 5, 1943) engendered no articles about him in the nation's middling or large daily newspapers, except for one in the Topeka Capital Journal. But I've thought about Carver these last several weeks while eating my favorite lunch, peanut butter and rice cakes, and doing some daily Bible reading. The great researcher had similar lunches: He identified 85 uses for pecans, 118 for sweet potatoes, and 265 for peanuts, but 365 for the Bible.
Carver's daily Bible reading reinforced his belief that God inspired him to come up with creative ideas. "I didn't make these discoveries," he told interviewers. "God has only worked through me to reveal to His children some of His wonderful providence." Under a headline, "Men of Science Never Talk That Way," The New York Times lambasted him in 1924 for his "complete lack of scientific spirit" in saying that religious belief was essential to his work.
For Carver, biblical faith made the difference in his calling and in life itself. At the George Washington Carver National Monument near Joplin, Mo., a visitor's center plaque quotes Carver recalling that as a child, "My body was very feeble and it was a constant warfare between life and death to see who would gain the mastery.... I trusted to God and pressed on."
Carver would be a prime subject for abortion today: unknown father, poor and ignorant mother. Orphaned in Missouri as an infant, he was reared by a white couple, Moses and Susan Carver, and grew up on a farm where he became known as "the Plant Doctor" for his knowledge of how to make things grow faster and better. Today, it's pleasant to walk around the Carver National Monument, which contains Moses Carver's house, the persimmon grove and walnut trees he planted, and the spring where George collected water for household use.
It wasn't always pleasant for Carver as he sought to pursue an education. He applied by mail to Highland College, a small Presbyterian institution north of Kansas City, and gained acceptance. When he arrived the college president said, "You didn't tell me you were a Negro. Highland College does not take Negroes." At age 30 he was finally able to enroll at Simpson College, a Methodist school, and later move on to become the first black graduate student at Iowa State.
As John Perry shows in Unshakable Faith, a biography of Carver and his fellow Tuskegee giant, Booker T. Washington, prejudice dogged both men, but they fought it by demonstrating not just equality but superiority. Carver's Iowa State professors described him as "the ablest student we have here," and the freshmen he taught in an introductory biology course began calling him "Dr. Carver" out of respect, even though he had yet to earn a master's degree.
Many black students today yearn for such honoring. The prejudice that Carver faced was terribly wrong. A counter-bias today tells some bright students that they don't have to work to their utmost to get ahead, and leaves many not knowing what they have earned and what has merely been given them. That's also wrong.

President Scott S. Cowen
Tulane University
September 28, 2001
Dear Friends,
The recent weeks have been difficult ones for all of us as Americans, but I thought you might be heartened by the response of the Tulane University community to the national crisis set off by the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
Given the broad demographics of the university community it is not surprising that some of our own members have been directly affected by this tragedy. This past week, I have heard from several members of the Tulane community who lost family members or loved ones in the attacks--some were working inside the World Trade Center, while others were among the firefighters and police officers who lost their lives in the rescue efforts. There are no doubt many among our alumni, parents and friends who have been personally touched by this tragedy as well. Our condolences and continued prayers are with all of them.
But there have been bright spots amid the grief. I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response of the Tulane family to this national crisis. Hundreds of us, representing all faiths, gathered to pray for and remember our fellow citizens at several memorial services both on the uptown campus and at the Health Sciences Center. Faculty members led a forum and student discussions in the hope of arriving at some understanding of this senseless attack--we called the forum, appropriately, "Making Sense of the Senseless." Counselors visited residence halls and spoke with students about their feelings. A crisis counseling line was also established for students, faculty and staff. We worked in concert with the New Orleans Police Department and the FBI to ensure the safety of all of our students, especially those of international origin.
I have been particularly pleased with the extraordinary caring and sharing of our students, who took the lead on many of the relief efforts. They spearheaded a successful blood drive, for example, and established a Tulane Relief Fund to collect monetary donations for disaster relief.
You can get an overview of the Tulane community's response by visiting our Web site.
Like any good family, we are sticking together while reaching out to others in need. Know that while the wounds of Sept. 11 heal, we at Tulane are continuing to encourage understanding not only among our students and our community, but our nation and our world. I deeply believe that academic institutions such as Tulane will ultimately prove our country's greatest means of achieving hope, understanding and a peaceful future.
Scott S. Cowen
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 firstname.lastname@example.com

The corner of Northwest Highway and Midway Road sees a lot of action. It's where neighbors get their morning coffee (Starbucks), groceries (Albertsons), burgers (Balls), pancakes (Original Pancake House), kung pao chicken (Howard Wang's), and Caesar salads (La Madeleine). For a Mexican-food fix, there's Fernando's, which offers more than your typical combination plates in a somewhat chichi environment—designer colors, modern art on the walls—that caters to its clientele. (This is where Bluffview and Preston Hollow converge, after all.)
We've tried the tilapia tacos, and they were okay. We remember fondly a nightly special of Mexican-style meatballs, fat and firm, swimming in zesty tomato broth. But what we really love is an ice-cold Negra Modelo and a half order of shrimp nachos. It's pretty hard to muss up tostada chips layered with refried beans and melted cheese and topped with a cute little shrimp, all peach and curled from the grill. Call us predictable, but we're also terribly fond of the reliable bean soup, made hearty and salty with chunks of bacon and zippy with slices of jalapeño, and the fat, homemade pork tamale doused with chile con carne. We've also been known to regularly order the margarita, with three chalupas: one bean, one guacamole, and one smothered in a serrano queso that'll surprise your taste buds with its heat. That's when the frosty beer comes in handy.
Get contact information for Fernando's.

IFC Is King of the Mountain with "Touching the Void"
by Wendy Mitchell
Blasts of wintry weather didn't keep audiences away from the snow-capped adventure tale "Touching the Void," which IFC Films opened on Friday on two screens in New York, and one screen each in Washington, D.C., Denver, and Seattle. The mountain-climbing docudrama earned the highest per-screen average for the opening of any film in IFC's history, earning $19,400 per screen.
Self-distributed "Empathy," Amie Siegel's doc-fiction hybrid about psychotherapy, was in our runner-up slot, with a per-screen average of $11,975 (on one screen, at New York's Film Forum). "Empathy" got some positive attention when it made the festival rounds to Berlin, Chicago, and other festivals; it will play at Film Forum through February 3. Also near the top of indieWIRE's chart, based on per-screen average, were Sony Pictures Classics' doc "The Fog of War," which made a healthy $155,826 this week, for a per-screen average of $9,166 and a new cume of $677,152. Lions Gate's Vermeer story "Girl with a Pearl Earring," which has awards buzz going for it, did more than half a million this week, for a new cume of $2.6 million and a per-screen of $7,513.
"Monster" by Patty Jenkins has now cleared $6 million for Newmarket Films; with Charlize Theron's Golden Globe win on Sunday night, look for this one to continue to be strong in coming weeks. Theron went so far as to thank Newmarket head Bob Berney in her acceptance speech. In other notable milestones, Fox Searchlight's "In America," directed by Jim Sheridan, passed the $9 million mark, and Lions Gate's "The Cooler" and Miramax's "The Station Agent" both cleared $5 million.
IFC didn't have much competition from new films opening this week (especially on the independent side) but they did have chilly weather and theaters full of Oscar bait to contend with. "Touching the Void," directed by Kevin Macdonald (the Oscar-winning "One Day in September") tells the true story of ill-fated climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates as they try to escape death on the daunting Peruvian mountain Siula Grande. Macdonald's story interweaves interviews with Simpson and Yates with footage of actors recreating the events of the fateful climb. "When we signed the film last year we wanted to get it out in winter, given the theme of it," says Greg Forston, IFC Films VP of Sales and Distribution. "When we picked the release date last September, I was a little worried because it was so far away, you don't know what January is going to hold. We knew we'd be jumping into any last-minute Oscar pushes. But we thought the film was strong enough to stand out from the fray." Indeed it did, grossing $96,973 on five screens.
Forston said that Denver and Seattle were something of wildcard markets -- "just because there are mountains somewhere doesn't mean that people will see a mountain-climbing movie," he says -- but in fact Seattle had the film's highest gross. Denver performed solidly despite getting several inches of snow Sunday afternoon. In Washington, D.C., "Touching the Void" set a house record at Landmark's E-Street Cinema. IFC will add the film in an additional six markets on February 6, and will then continue to roll it out in February and March.
"Our overall strategy with the film is to add cities slowly and add exclusive runs. We're not trying to blow it out, we want to give it a chance to grow organically," Forston told indieWIRE on Monday. "It's been getting incredible press and word of mouth. The buzz has been building since Telluride [Film Festival] last year." He noted that several non-film-specific outlets had helped publicity -- such as features in Sports Illustrated and Outside magazines and Joe Simpson's appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
The IFC has a slew of other titles headed to theaters this quarter: "Kitchen Stories," "Intermission," "The Saddest Music in the World," and "This So-Called Disaster."
With Oscar nominations due out this morning, several specialty films could see boosted box office results next weekend. New openings next week include the queer Morman tale "Latter Days" opening in New York, L.A., and Salt Lake City; Lucas Belvaux's first Trilogy installment "On The Run" from Magnolia Pictures; and the restaurant doc "Eat This New York," opening at Cinema Village.

Tighten rules on 'scooters'
A famous "Seinfeld" episode took it to extremes when the ambulatory but self-indulgent George Costanza conned his way into using a personal mobility device and ended up being chased by a posse of older folks who truly needed their scooters.
But the episode pointed to a real problem, as demonstrated by a hearing last week by the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging.
Medicare pays about 80 percent of the cost for the devices, which typically range from $1,500 to $3,500. Committee members, many doctors who testified and reports from government inspectors say that up to 80 percent of the devices go to people who don't actually meet the medical requirements for Medicare to pay.
Sen. Richard D. Blumenthal of Connecticut and other committee members want Medicare to recover the costs for scooters sold to medically ineligible people - about $500 million a year.
The culprit, many at the hearings said, is advertising that depicts the machines as instruments of convenience rather than medical devices. Those ads not only tout the capabilities of the machines, but often inform would-be users that Medicare covers most of the cost.
Beyond the cost to taxpayers, the over-supply of scooters for nonmedical reasons has another downside. Several doctors said it makes users that much more sedentary, in many cases helping to diminish their health.
Medicare has begun a pilot program in seven states to review medical documentation used to obtain scooters and the FBI is investigating fraud.
In an era in which crucial Medicare is deeply stressed, Congress and the federal agencies are on the mark in trying to ensure that the public only pays for devices that are medically necessary.

News Release:
June 25, 2013
Richard Matheson (1926 – 2013)
LOS ANGELES -- Legendary screen-television writer and novelist Richard Matheson, whose science-fiction/fantasy/horror scripts, short stories, and books influenced a generation of genre writers, died on Sunday, June 23, at his home in Calabasas, California, after a long illness at age 87.
"Richard was a legend. Even growing up in the wilds of Michigan, I became aware of and appreciated his work at a young age. I read the paperback of
I Am Legend
at summer camp. He, more than any other writer, inspired me to become a screenwriter. The world has lost a great one," said
Man of Steel
screenwriter and WGAW Board of Directors member David S. Goyer.
"There was often a sense of wild possibility, the chance of transcending our stuffy little realities, in Matheson's work," said sci-fi novelist and
The Crow
co-screenwriter John P. Shirley. "It began, for me, with the classic
Twilight Zone
episodes Matheson wrote. They encapsulated the human dilemma in eerie metaphor. They nudged the horror form into modernism into a new sleek sophistication."
Born on February 20, 1926, in Allendale, New Jersey, and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Richard Matheson was one of America's most iconic, renowned science fiction and fantasy novelists and screenwriters. He enjoyed a long and luminous writing career, starting with the publication of his first short story, "Born of Man and Woman," in
The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
in 1950 and continuing to publish a slew of well-received fantasy, horror, and mystery short stories over the decade. Several years later, he launched his screenwriter career by adapting his own novel,
The Shrinking Man
, for the big screen sci-fi adventure,
The Incredible Shrinking Man
(1957), for which he received a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, shared with director Jack Arnold.
On the television front, he was a prolific contributor to Rod Serling's original, ground-breaking TV anthology series,
The Twilight Zone
, penning many of the series' most memorable episodes, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," "Night Call," "Nick of Time," "The Invaders," and "A World of His Own." He also wrote for the classic sci-fi series
Star Trek
(including episodes such as "The Enemy Within") and later for Rod Serling's
Night Gallery
, as well as contributed to the '80s TV reboot of
The Twilight Zone
. Earlier this month, three enduringly popular series that Matheson wrote for –
The Twilight Zone, Star Trek
, and
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
– were named among WGA's
101 Best Written TV Series
of all time, coming in at #3, #33, and #79 respectively.
In the film arena, during the 1960s Matheson adapted several Edgar Allan Poe classics for a string of low-budget horror hits for producer/director Roger Corman, including
The House of Usher, The Pit & the Pendulum, Tales of Terror
, and 1963's
The Raven
, which featured a young Jack Nicholson in one of his earliest film roles.
The 1970s were a particularly fertile period for Matheson: During this decade, among many other projects, he wrote Steven Spielberg's debut full-length directorial effort, the suspenseful TV movie
(for which Matheson received a 1972 WGA nomination; Television: Anthology Adapted) and penned teleplays for the highly rated vampire thriller
The Night Stalker
and its equally popular sequel,
The Night Strangler
, both of which formed the basis
Kolchak: The Night Stalker
, TV's mid-'70s cult favorite supernatural series starring Darren McGavin.
Matheson's film and TV writing continued well into subsequent decades, as the prolific author worked again with Steven Spielberg on
Twilight Zone: The Movie
and the TV series
Amazing Stories
, for which he received a 1987 WGA nomination for the episode "The Doll" (Television: Anthology Episode/Single Program). In a throwback to his '60s work, he adapted two Rod Serling stories for the 1994 telefilm
Twilight Zone: Rod Serling's Lost Classics
In addition to writing numerous novels and screenplays, Matheson also proved a favorite author for others to adapt. His 1954 novel,
I Am Legend
, spawned three different film adaptations, starting with 1964's
The Last Man on Earth
and most recently 2007's
I Am Legend
starring Will Smith. Several of Matheson's novels, including
The Omega Man, Somewhere in Time, What Dreams May Come
, and
A Stir of Echoes
, have all received the Hollywood treatment and been adapted into feature films – Matheson himself penned the screenplay for the film
Somewhere in Time
, based on his novel,
Bid Time Return
. Most recently, Matheson's short story "Button, Button" (itself the basis for a classic
Twilight Zone
episode) was adapted for the horror film
The Box
(2008), and Matheson's short story, "Steel," was adapted for the 2011 hit Disney family film,
Real Steel
, starring Hugh Jackman.
For his television work, Matheson received six Writers Guild Award nominations and earned two Writers Guild Awards: one for
The Night Stalker
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, From an Unpublished Story by Jeff Rice; Television – Anthology Adapted, 1973), and another for his "Yawkey" episode of TV's
(Episodic Drama – 30 Minutes in Length, 1961).
Over the course of his career, Matheson has been honored for his contributions to literature and filmed entertainment: He earned an Edgar Allan Poe Award for
The Night Stalker
in 1973, a Bram Stoker Awards' Life Achievement Award in 1991, and was inducted into the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards' Horror Hall of Fame in 2011. Just this year, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Horror Films.
Matheson's other television credits include TV series such as
Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Have Gun Will Travel, The D.A.'s Man, Markham
, and
, as well as the 1980 sci-fi miniseries
The Martian Chronicles
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, Based on a Story by Ray Bradbury), for which he earned a WGA nomination (Television: Long Form Multi-Part, 1981), and TV movies
The Morning After
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, Based on the Novel by Jack Weiner), for which received a WGA nomination (Television: Anthology Adapted, 1975),
The Stranger Within
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, Based on His Short Story),
Scream of the Wolf
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, Based on the Book by David Case),
Dying Room Only
(Teleplay by Richard Matheson, Based on His Short Story), and 1975's cult favorite horror anthology,
Trilogy of Terror
, featuring Matheson's terrifying final "Amelia" segment starring Karen Black and a murderous "Zuni" doll.
Matheson's other screenwriting credits include
Master of the World
(Based on Jules Verne's
Master of the World
Robur the Conqueror
Jaws 3-D
(Screenplay by Richard Matheson and Carl Gottlieb, Story by Guerdon Trueblood), and thrillers such as
Burn, Witch, Burn
(Screenplay by Richard Matheson & Charles Beaumont, Based on the Novel
Conjure Wife
by Fritz Leiber),
The Legend of Hell House
(Screenplay by Richard Matheson, Based on His Novel,
Hell House
De Sade, The Devil's Bride
(Screenplay by Richard Matheson, Based on the Novel
The Devil Rides Out
by Dennis Wheatley), and
Die! Die! My Darling!
(Screenplay by Richard Matheson, Based on
, a Novel by Anne Blaisdale).
In an article entitled "Fantastic Voyages: Exploring the Fantastique," featuring a roundtable conversation with sci-fi/horror/fantasy writers Matheson, Clive Barker, D.C. Fontana, Haskell Barkin, and Charles Edward Pogue, published in the October 1991 issue of WGAW's
The Journal
, the precursor to
Written By
Magazine, Matheson commented, "If fantasy is a genre, it is the fundamental genre because it recognizes that there is more…and the fantastique will radiate through all the other fields because it is the basic foundation of our existence. There is so much more around us than we are conscious of, and that is what we are dealing with – the sort of truth that will radiate through all literature."
Late in his life, Matheson was working on several theatrical plays, including a musical version of his time travel romance
Somewhere in Time
, which recently made its world premiere at the Portland Center Stage.
Matheson is survived by his wife Ruth Ann and four children, three of which are writers and WGAW members: Ali Marie Matheson, Chris Matheson, and Richard Christian Matheson. Memorial service information is pending.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to try and be of service to you today.

QUESTION: "In New York City what does "AC 000.00 UZ" in the charge line mean?"
ANSWER: Here is how this works. Actually, it is simply known as a "place holder", meaning the format you have described refers to a penal code section and an indictment, but there is no further identifiable information to give it any particular meaning. Here is an example, just for illustration purposes: Inmate Details. In other words, although this is frequently seen, for practical purposes it is utterly meaningless.

I truly hope all works out for you.

My most intense memories of Gaza and a Hamas man's deadly vengeance
Everyone wants Imad Akel dead. The Israeli army, the Palestinian police. But Akel wants revenge for the killing of his brother. In this new memoir I take you inside the dirty battles of the Gaza Strip, recounting Akel's story and the part Gaza played in my own writing. In many ways what I learned in Gaza during the intifada told me a lot about myself and ultimately gave me the insights to write my Palestinian novels.

Reviews (5)
"Great mask"
I put it on tight and it works great. My horse is pure white with light ryes and this is a great fly and sun shield.
"awesome mask"
All the Cashel masks are great. Sure, they come off as easily as all the other brands, and I've tried all the brands! But it is mostly a fit issue in my experience. Put it on snugly, and it pretty much stays put. I like the soft ears, must less irritating to my horses. Long nose version is great for sunburns, but does get a bit hotter.
"I haven't had any trouble with losing it"
I ordered horse size which was actually way too big for the intended horse, but it stays on anyway. I have been using it for 3 months with no problem. I am however going to put that one on my other horse with the larger head and order the Arabian size for the other. This is a good fly mask.
"Would be great if it stayed on"
Even when my horse was in a paddock by himself he still managed to get it off. When he was out with other horses I stopped bothering with it, because I would have to search for it on the ground shortly afterwards.
"Day 1: I had to hunt the mask down in the pasture. Day 2: Ears sticking out of hole intended for forelock. I haven't used it since. Because the ears are made of soft material, they have no form and slip easily off the horse's ears which defeats the purpose of ""w/ears."""

How to Prepare Marijuana Butter
Cannabis infused butter (or "bud butter") can be used in any recipe which calls for butter, though it is best known for being sneaked into brownies. Using Cannabis infused butter allows you to side-step the disadvantages of smoking (potential health risks, smell) while still enjoying the benefits of the drug. Another advantage of "bud butter" is that it works best with less potent or desirable marijuana, such as the trimmings off of manicured buds, or buds which have seeded. See Step 1 below to get started!
1Soak your cannabis in water. 20-60 minutes. This will remove some of the chlorophyll, dirt and fertilizers from the plant matter which can cause a "grassy" taste in your butter. THC and other cannabinoids are not water soluble, and will not be affected by the soak.
- This recipe uses a ratio of 1 oz. of marijuana to 1 lb. of butter.
2Strain your marijuana. Strain the plant matter through a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
3Break up the plant matter by hand. Grinding the plant matter will make it too fine to be strained later.
4Heat the butter. In a double boiler, heat your butter until it is fully melted. This should be done at a low temperature to avoid browning.
5Add the marijuana. Add your plant matter into the butter and stir gently for about an hour. If the butter begins to bubble over or rapidly becomes brown or burnt-looking, reduce heat.
6Strain the butter. After an hour or so, strain the butter through a wire mesh strainer lined with linen or cheesecloth into a container to cool. The butter should have a deep olive coloration. Apply gentle pressure to the cloth and plant matter to strain as much butter as possible from the plant matter.
7Discard unnecessary material. Discard or compost the plant matter.
8Enjoy! Use as butter in your favorite recipes. Be careful, however. Baking with marijuana butter can release a strong scent. Use proper ventilation and bake in an area where others will not be disturbed.
Community Q&A
- This works with any oil. Try olive oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, even lard or shortening.
- This recipe works best with less potent marijuana, such as trimmings, stems and very seedy buds.
- Marijuana is illegal in most countries and is only medically recognized in a few US states. Make sure you can legally obtain and possess marijuana before attempting this recipe.

Words and shots by Troy Zitzelsberger
For More Articles Like These
In the West there's Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors; here we have their Korean doppelgangers Hite-Jinro, producers of Hite and Max, and Oriental Brewery, which makes Cass. These industrial giants all create the same kind of mass-distributed beer – the lager. These beers are cheap, readily available, and the popular choice throughout the peninsula. However, they also share the same taste profile, lacking both character and flavor and limiting customer options. It's either pay nearly triple what you should for an import or drink a flavorless lager.
Given the limited options and the fact that the cheaper choice still leads to inebriation, the pale yellow lager has long reigned supreme. However, today there is growing demand for variety. More customers want a beer brewed with tender love and care as opposed to the mass-produced lagers made by formula in a city-sized factory. The age of the craft brew industry is beginning to dawn in Korea.
In 2002, South Korea hosted the Asian games and the FIFA World Cup, which prompted the government to relax regulations and allow individuals to start brewing and serving beer on premise. This brought about the birth of the Korean brewpub. Today there are around 77 nationwide. However, many of these establishments are finding it difficult to keep their doors open.
The beer market in South Korea is difficult for entrepreneurial brewers to enter and even more so to succeed in. First off, anyone looking to establish a brewery has to have the necessary capital, which may require a significant number of investors. Next, the establishment must be able to produce at a certain capacity, which is determined by whether they choose to sell their beer on premise, off premise, or both. In 2011, the government relaxed regulations further, dropping the amount of beer production required for a brewery to be able to distribute its product from 3.7 million 500ml bottles to 200,000 – which needless to say is still a significant
Further adding to the expenses, for each new beer a brewery offers, it must get approval from the Korean FDA. This costs anywhere from W800,000 to W2 million, according to owner of Craftworks Taphouse Dan Vroon. After receiving the stamp of approval, the brewer has to pay a 269% tariff on any imported ingredients – pretty much everything except the water. This raises the relatively inexpensive cost of hops from W1,800 per ounce to W4,680. Considering the amount and variety of ingredients that go into each different beer, this makes it exponentially more expensive to enter the market.
Thankfully, there are a few new breweries that are looking to meet the growing demand for better beer. All but one of these breweries are brew pubs and most offer three varieties of beer – a weizen, a dunkel, and a pilsner. That is exactly what you will find at Oktoberfest and Café O Pops. Castle Praha, by contrast, only produces a pilsner. The newest microbrewery on the scene is Magpie Brewing Company in Haebangchon. Their three main beers are an amber ale, porter, and pale ale. They'll also be offering classes on brewing and tasting, as well as selling a variety of imported beers.
Setting the bar for future microbreweries is Craftworks Taphouse, which opened its doors in 2010. Two years might not seem like long, but in Seoul that's ancient. What gives them their staying power? They offer variety and quality; their beers are all unpasteurized and unfiltered; and unlike their corporate competitors, they don't use any cheap additives such as corn or rice in place of the malt. In terms of variety, Craftworks offers the most locally produced brews: a hefeweizen, dark lager, pilsner, golden ale, oatmeal stout, India pale ale, and pale ale. They also offer a sampler complete with all their beers in case you have trouble choosing. As Craftworks recently acquired its distributor's license, their brews may well be on tap at your favorite watering holes in the coming months.
Another brewery whose beers are already on tap at numerous locations, beating Craftworks to the punch by a few months and becoming the first new Korean brewery in seventy years capable of meeting the distribution requirements, is 7 Brau. Although they don't have a brewpub, they offer three styles of beer (pilsner, stout, and pale ale) which can currently be consumed at bars around Itaewon. Each week, several more establishments around Korea add 7 Brau to their lineup. But don't get your hops up
just yet – though the regulations have dropped significantly, the options at your local Family Mart have yet to increase. But this will change, possibly sooner than later. "We're hoping to be bottling our beer within a few months," said 7 Brau part-owner Sean Carter.
7 Brau follows the same principles as Craftworks when it comes to their ingredients, and both of these breweries' products speak for themselves. A taste test easily reveals the truth: better ingredients equal better beer. The craft brew industry here, although young, is headed in the right direction. The recently inked free trade agreements with Europe and the US will help reduce the cost of imported ingredients. Better beer is becoming more readily available to the general populace. And with that initial sip, taste buds will begin to change.

Winding up Ladera Lane above Santa Barbara, California, leads to the peaceful and inspiring Vedanta Temple complex on 45 acres. Nine Sri Sarada Devi nuns are in residence.
Walking up the gently sloping path to the front steps of the Temple leads to where services are held and you can sit for quiet meditation. Click here for another article on the BellaOnline Meditation Site focusing on Sarada Devi who was the consort of Sri Ramakrishna, founder of Vedanta. After he passed on she continued his work.
The atmosphere around the temple is permeated with the smell of sage which is growing in the local shrubbery and the hills and mountains behind the structures. I've found going onto the grounds an uplifting experience without even going into the temple or bookstore. I like sitting on the temple steps, facing a view of the wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
So, this visit gives the best of physical treats, and restoration to the soul, with breathtaking sites of ocean in front, mountain peaks behind, immersion in the garden environment, clear and fresh smells of sage, singing of birds and helpful nuns and friendly visitors.
One could not help but be uplifted by spending time meditating in this environment.
An added advantage of the center is the bookstore in its own small building next to the temple - a complete source to buy books related to meditation and yoga and many world religions, as well as malas, incense, shawls, and all kinds of meditation and altar statues, pictures and other supplies.
The Vedanta Temple website provides a map and detailed driving directions. If you are already familiar with Santa Barbara and Montecito, follow East Valley Road to the east and pass Sheffield Drive and Ortega Ridge Road. Then turn left, north, up Ladera Lane.
The address is: Vedanta Temple, 927 Ladera Lane, Santa Barbara, CA 93108. Phone (805) 969-2903. Visit the website listed below or phone for specific opening times during the year.

Environment Linked to Teen Behavior
Wetzstein, Cheryl, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
School problems and "hanging out" with the wrong friends are top predictors for teen involvement in smoking, drinking, violence and sex, said a report released yesterday.
The findings are a "911 call" about the importance of school and parental oversight of children, said Dr. Robert W. Blum, who laid out the latest findings from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, known as "Add Health."
The study appeared to contradict views that say being poor, being a minority or coming from a single-parent family predisposes children to a difficult adolescence.
Race, income or family structure "may influence behaviors," but they are not the root causes of risky behavior, said Dr. Blum, director of the University of Minnesota's adolescent health program.
Instead, he said, teens' "immediate environment" - their school life, peer group and factors such as easy access to guns in the home - play a much larger role in whether they get into anti-social activities.
Surgeon General David Satcher, who addressed the press conference by videotape, said that the study "shows that if we really want to help American teens, we can't put them in neat little boxes based on whether they're black or white, rich or poor, or from a one- or two-parent family."
"Violence, drinking, suicide and other dangerous behaviors are not solely the problems of minority and low-income teens," said Dr. Satcher.
"These problems are everyone's problems," he added, urging parents to monitor their teens, help them in school and make sure they are in supervised after-school programs, sports, school clubs and community-service activities.
Patrick Fagan, a scholar at the Heritage Foundation who has written about the importance of two-parent married families, said the Add Health survey, as published in next month's American Journal of Public Health, clearly shows that teens in two-parent homes are less likely to be involved in risky behaviors than children of single parents.
It's the parents' love and connectedness to their children that matters most, though, Mr. Fagan added. "Steering children to good peers, doing good things - that's the result of a huge amount of parental effort."
Add Health is the nation's first study on what influences teens to reject or become involved with tobacco, alcohol, suicide, weapon-related violence and sexual intercourse. …

The concerns being that exposure to the radiation generated by such wireless technologies could cause harm to ones health. A lot if arguments have drawn comparisons to that of the continued use of Mobile Phones. A recent report from the World Health Organisation has concluded "To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". Notwithstanding that smart meters with mobile phone technology installed and used tend to be installed outside and therefore have very limited contact if any to animals and/or humans, unlike mobile phones which tend to be kept in pockets and used with direct contact to skin. The very fact that smart meters are not in direct contact with us nor are they fully transmitting at a constant pace we can deduce that the exposure levels are a fraction of that of a mobile phone to which it has already been concluded that no adverse health effects have been established.
Other types of Smart Meters use wireless technologies such as WiFi, again the World Health Organisation has concluded that "Considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected to date, there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects." . Again this statement was addressed to WiFi usage in closed environments such as classrooms and usage of handheld wireless equipment. Therefore, it should be noted that Smart Meters are no in direct contact and therefore the possibility of adverse health effects are again reduced.
Despite these clear assertions, there are those who directly compare and confuse research to argue their points and then use fear to further drive their propaganda or agenda whether it is for political gain or simply out of a need to justify their own fringe beliefs.
This is when Conspiracy Theories are born out of ignorance and fear. Government will not be able to spy on you through smart meters, nor will hackers be able to steal your identity, personal details, nor will they be able to switch off your power. Smart Meters are the foundation technology of a Smarter and more Secure energy grid, it would be silly to assume that Utilities and Governments were looking to take a step backwards and expose the Critical National Infrastructure to attacks.
Despite the minority of these so called fringe activist, smart meters continue to be rolled out across the globe at great pace. Unfortunately we live in a world where a select few will use any platform to gain attention or use fear to further a social or political career, it is therefore paramount that you look at the big picture.
When making your own mind up, use common sense and look at both sides of the coin. Talk to your local energy provider to get as much information as you can. In most countries Smart Meters are mandated by government and not the energy companies, the reason being is to make people more aware of their energy use and bring carbon emissions under control.

Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way. Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what's described as a nirvana for American backpackers--a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily. Initially distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that...

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
She did not file,yet.
She is going to sue the office girl and her ex-boy friend.
She promised the pediatrician not to include in the law suit.
Apparently the ex-boy friend beat up the teenage girl (the patient) and she has proof of this. The words said by ex-boy friend suggest that HIPPA rules were violated, which the girl in the office denies it.
Thank you for your follow-up.In that situation I am not sure why the doctor would be required to fire the employee. The doctor can perform a reasonable investigation and infer whether or not the violation took place. The doctor can likewise choose to discipline or make his own report to HIPAA. But he is not required to terminate. I am genuinely sorry to hear the patient was assaulted and I hope she is able to fully recover.Good luck.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Yes, you can file a Motion for Relief from stay without an attorney on your tenants. You should contact the bankruptcy court clerk to see if they have a form promulgated by the Court that must be followed. If they do not, you can simply put together a document entitled "Motion for Relief from Stay" and set forth your reasons for wanting relief from stay (non-payment, violation of lease terms, etc.)
The contact information for the Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of GA is as follows:
United States Bankruptcy Court
Middle District of Georgia
433 Cherry Street
Macon, Georgia 31201
(478)(NNN) NNN-NNNN/p>
You should contact them to ask whether the Court has a particular form or if you can simply draft your own document and present it to the Court. Now the clerk's office will not provide any legal advice, so you will have to be careful in the way you phrase your questions. Ask if they have forms available online for review, or ask if their are any local rules online, or if your judge requires you to self calendar the hearing on the Motion for Relief. Something along those lines should be sufficient.
But again, you can file the Motion for Relief on your own, just try to make sure that you are following the court's form, if any, so that your Motion is not denied on a technicality. You can also try visiting your local law library. The law librarians have a wealth of information about where to find form motions and pleadings.
I hope you found this information helpful.
Best Regards.

The NVIDIA nForce4 SLI chipset supports all current AMD Socket 939 CPUs including the Dual Core ones recently released by AMD, which have showed promise for future applications supporting them. One advantage of the AMD platform is the compatibility of the 939 motherboards with the latest CPUs and technology. Memory support on the board consists of 4 184-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) slots for a total of 8GB of unbuffered non-ECC DDR memory.
ECS included 2 PCI Express x16 slots on their KN1-SLI board. The board came from ECS with one broken PCI Express x16 lock. It didn't affect the testing, and the card stayed in place, but it was a consideration. One thing missing from the board is a SLI paddle. The board operates in SLI mode without the paddle, making one less thing to change around on the board. Other expansion slots on the board include 2 PCI Express x1 slots and 3 PCI slots, providing plenty of expansion room for every user.
Drive support on the board consists of the 4 SATA ports supported by the nForce4 chipset and 2 additional SATA ports supported by a Silicon Image Sil3132 chip. nForce4 and the Sil3132 chip both support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 modes. PATA drive support is provided by two IDE connectors and a floppy drive connector make up the drive expansion on the board.
Input and output ports on the back panel of the board consist of 4 USB 2.0 ports, a COM1 port, two RJ45 jacks, two digital S/PDIF ports and 6 jacks for the onboard audio. Missing is a Parallel port, but a bracket is provided in the packaging if you need one. I really like the fact that ECS decided to include 2 RJ45 jacks, as it allows for a small network.
A Realtek ALC650 CODEC provides the onboard audio for the ECS KN1-SLI Extreme motherboard. NVIDIA chipsets have moved on to the High Definition Audio standard first introduced by Intel on the 925X chipset last year. He ALC650 is an adequate sound solution, offering support for up to 7.1 surround sound. The CODEC supports DirectSound, A3D 1.0, EAX 1.0 and 2.0.

I have been on this drug for Bipolar 1 condition for over twenty years. I take a very low dose, 25mg-50mg per day, to make me sleep. At first it made me groggy and gave me nasal congestion, but after I got used to it, I would not trade it for any of the newer drugs. It always puts me to sleep and I wake up rested.

FBI officials say Tobias was taken into custody without incident Thursday on a federal complaint.
The complaint alleges that Tobias transported a bag containing a large amount of cash he believed to be the proceeds from a narcotics sale from Las Vegas to Phoenix last Aug. 31.

It's so nice to get out of the house and have a place for blogging other than my couch, especially in such a fun neighborhood.

I think everyone can agree that organising a wedding can be somewhat of a stressful business. Even with the aide of a celebrity planner, (note JLO in the 2001 film 'The Wedding Planner), brides and their doting families can rarely escape the pressures of orchestrating 'the most important day of their life.' Whether it is a lavish affair on a sprawling estate in the Scottish Highlands or an intimate beach ceremony in the heart of the Caribbean, every bride wants it to be perfect. Our idea of perfection of course varies from person to person, as do the endless choices of flowers, receptions, table designs, (not even broaching the factor of that dress), but we all have the same common goal: our, and our loved one's perfect day.
Planning and attention to detail is the driving force behind every wedding, no matter how big or small the budget… Read more

Hazleton fire that left 11 homeless ruled accidental
HAZLETON - Victims carried belongings from a burned-out city apartment building Monday morning as a state police fire marshal investigated the scene, after which he determined Sunday morning's fire was an accident caused by an electrical malfunction.
The fire that ripped through 51-53 N. Cedar St. chased 11 people, including eight adults and three children, from their homes. Some tenants were staying with family since the fire, while others were being assisted by the Hazleton Chapter of the American Red Cross.
One volunteer firefighter sustained cuts on his face when falling glass from the building hit him and was treated on scene. One of the building's youngest tenants - a baby - was taken to a hospital for an evaluation due to possible smoke inhalation but both the child and firefighter were doing OK, fire Chief Donald Leshko said.
All the tenants made it out safely before firefighters arrived, Leshko said.
Hazleton City Code Enforcement Officer Rick Wech condemned the building Monday morning.
On Sunday, Jose Fellipe stood on a street corner and watched as firefighters extinguished the flames in the apartment building he's called home for the past three years. On Monday morning, he and another first-floor tenant were allowed back inside to collect any salvageable belongings.
Fellipe carried large black garbage bags of belongings outside, noting most of the items will have to be thrown away. He said he managed to save some food, but most of everything else was ruined by water.
Fellipe was placed in a hotel for three days by the Hazleton Chapter of the American Red Cross, he said, but will have to find another place to live soon.
Though Fellipe's first-floor apartment sustained a lot of water damage, Leshko said the third floor took a "brutal hit" in the fire and gave firefighters a tough time extinguishing it. Flames ripped through the roof, destroying a portion of it, and caused the floor in certain spots to be unstable.
The fire, which began in a wall by a staircase from the second to the third floor, destroyed the steps, making it impossible for firefighters to enter the third floor from that side of the building.
Leshko said fire also worked its way into the walls of the second floor, where firefighters had to bore holes to extinguish the flames. Firefighters had to cut into the roof too to extinguish the fire as smoke billowed, filling the neighborhood with smoke.
Residents of the building are being allowed back inside their apartment units to collect belongings during daylight hours, Leshko said.

Julianna Margulies Joins Stand Up Guys, Addison Timlin In Talks
By Kelly West 2012-03-05 10:01:50 comments
The Fisher Stevens directed action comedy Stand Up Guys already has a strong list of leading males, with Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin on board to star. And now we have some updates among the females, as Julianna Margulies has recently been cast, and Addison Timlin is reportedly in talks for a role.
Stand Up Guys follows two aging hitmen who decide to have one last wild night together before one of them has to murder the other. Deadline reports that Margulies has joined the cast. Shes set to play Arkins daughter Lila, who is also the nurse who has to look after Al Pacinos character, who apparently overdoses on Viagra. While Margulies is currently starring in CBS drama The Good Wife, those familiar with her work on ER years ago should have no trouble picturing her in nurses scrubs. As for her current job, from what Deadline says, it doesnt sound like the movie will interfere with her role on TGW, as shes set to shoot the movie during the CBS series hiatus.
Meanwhile, Variety posted word recently that Addison Timlin is in talks to play the part of Walkens granddaughter. Among her recent roles, Timlin played young starlet Sasha Bingham, who caught Hank Moodys eye during last season of Californication. This isnt the only thing Timlin will have in the works, assuming negotiations progress. Shes also set to star in an ABC pilot called Zero Hour.
Production for Stand Up Guys is scheduled to get going in Los Angeles next month.

TEL HAZEKA OUTPOST, Golan Heights — On this wind-swept hill overlooking Syria, Israeli soldiers are keeping a careful watch, scouring the landscape for signs of how the revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad might affect the taut quiet along the frontier.
From the Israeli observation post, the adjacent Syrian villages of Bir Ajam and Bariqa looked deserted on a recent morning, weeks after they were the scene of fighting between government troops and rebels.
Some stray shells and bullets flew into Israeli-held territory during those clashes in November, drawing retaliatory fire that killed two Syrian soldiers. It was the first shooting across cease-fire lines since a disengagement accord that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Israeli officials say they have two main concerns should Assad be overthrown: that Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons could fall into the hands of Islamist militants, such as the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon, and that a breakdown of security in Syria, particularly near the Golan frontier, could lead to militant attacks against Israeli targets across the cease-fire line.

In public remarks Sunday at the weekly meeting of his cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Syrian forces had pulled back from the frontier area, replaced by radical Islamist groups. While those militants are for now fighting against the Syrian regime, Israeli officials are concerned that once Assad is ousted, they could turn their attention to Israel.
Netanyahu also expressed concern about Syria's chemical weapons, saying that because "the Syrian regime is very unstable, the question of its chemical weapons worries us." He said Israel was "coordinating our intelligence and assessments with the United States and others with the aim of being prepared for any scenario and possibilities that could develop there."
Netanyahu met recently with Jordan's King Abdullah for discussions on Syria's chemical weapons, according to a report last month in the London-based newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi. Israeli media said the meeting was confirmed by Israeli officials, though Netanyahu's office declined to comment on the reports or on suggestions that Israel was weighing military action against the chemical weapons stockpiles.
Amos Gilad, a top Israeli defense ministry official, recently told Israel Army Radio that for now the Syrian chemical weapons "are under control."
On the Golan front, Israeli officials are concerned that conditions there could follow a pattern that developed along Israel's border with Egypt after the toppling of former President Hosni Mubarak. A breakdown of security in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, where jihadist groups have gained a foothold, has led to several cross-border shooting and rocket attacks on Israel, including one infiltration by gunmen that left eight Israelis dead in August 2011.
In his remarks Sunday, Netanyahu said that on the Syrian side of the Golan frontier "the Syrian army has moved away, and in its place, global jihad forces have moved in."
"Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to defend this border against both infiltration and terrorist elements, just we are successfully doing on the Sinai border," Netanyahu said.
Yaalon said that Islamist militants, identifiable by their green Islamic banners, had taken over several Syrian villages in a buffer zone near Israeli lines, attacked Syrian army bases and assaulted a Syrian armored battalion.

Through experience, we all know that materials with high conductivity, metal for example, transfer heat more quickly than materials with low conductivity (wood, stone, cloth...). But when considering which radiant heating product to purchase, considering the conductivity per dollar of that product is important.
