NEW YORK (AP) - A piece of landing gear believed to be from one of the planes destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks has been discovered wedged between a New York City mosque site and another building.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Friday the part includes a Boeing identification number. Police haven't said how big the part is.
Browne says the piece was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of a planned Islamic community center on behalf of the building's owner. He says the inspectors called 911 and police have secured the scene, documenting it with photos.
Police say the medical examiner's office will complete a health and safety evaluation to determine whether to sift the soil around the buildings for possible human remains.
Two hijacked planes slammed into the nearby World Trade Center towers in 2001, killing thousands of people.

Ray of Light
Cabaret to Fight AIDS Returns to The Rrazz Room
by David-Elijah Nahmod
For Sean Ray, the AIDS crisis has never ended. The cabaret and former Gay Men's Chorus performer has lived with the virus for many years. On May 14 and 15, Ray hosts the tenth annual Cabaret to Fight AIDS at The Rrazz Room in San Francisco's Hotel Nikko.
"I don't like being preachy, but the kids don't realize that a lot of what they have today is because of our struggles in the '80s and '90s," Ray said in a telephone interview with BARtab. "They're not ungrateful. They just don't know."
Ray has very vivid memories of those battles. "I've struggled at times with HIV," he recalled. "But my health is really good now. It's become a manageable illness if you have the resources. Things are easier in the Bay Area."
But the picture wasn't so rosy a while back. "I was a client at Project Open Hand for a brief time," Ray said. "When I walked in as a client, after having referred clients to them, they didn't judge me. People had no idea that I had gotten to a point that I needed help to eat." Later, Ray spoke at an Open Hand luncheon. "Both experiences were so humbling."
Ray has an extensive resume as a performer, and even appeared nude Off-Broadway. "I was with the Gay Men's Chorus in New York for ten years. In the 1980s and '90s, we were doing a lot of memorial services. We were doing a West Coast tour and I fell in love with San Francisco. I met a San Francisco chorus member, we fell in love, broke up, but I still moved here. It's hard to leave once you've been here."
Though he sang with the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus for one season, he now prefers performing in cabaret. In producing the Annual Cabaret to Fight AIDS, Ray says he's trying to emulate the wonderful work being done by Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS in New York's theater community. "I worked with God's Love We Deliver and Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York. My friends were dying back then, so this is very personal for me."
The title of this year's AIDS Cabaret is No Day But Today, which is the finale number from the musical Rent. "I've pulled together singing friends of mine that I've worked with over the years," said Ray. "We've got showtunes, pop, jazz standards, country, a little bit of everything. I know the singers very well, and I know their voices. They donate their time because they believe in the cause."
Since its inception a decade ago, AIDS Cabaret has benefited service organizations such as San Francisco AIDS Foundation, UCSF AIDS Health Project, AIDS Life Cycle, Positive Being, Project Open Hand, among others.
"It's such a great event," said Ray. "I'm so proud to be a part of it. I hope Senator Mark Leno can come again. He came in 2002."
Sean Ray urges people to do their part in combating the virus. "If you don't have money, you can volunteer your time," he says. "There's always something you can do to help others."
Sean Ray, hostess Donna Sachet, and a wonderful group of singers perform in an evening of song and comedy. Annual Cabaret to Fight AIDS happens on Monday and Tuesday, May 14 and 15 at The Rrazz Room, at the Hotel Nikko, 222 Mason in San Francisco. $35 advance tickets, $40 at the door. $50 for reserved seating and a champagne reception.

" Philips-HTS3500S - Home theatre system - 5.1 channel "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Initially I was very satisfied with this model which I bought 2 years back. But recently I was experiencing some problem with it. When I turn on the set it made a loud "thud" on the speakers and the unit goes to standby with the red lights blinking. Nothing happen when I use the power button both on the set and remote.
Whenever this happen, I had to reset the unit by unplugging the plug for about 1 minute and reconnect.
When I searched the internet, I found out that there are also other users experiencing similar problem. These are the sites:
For the ratings, I gave this product a good mark for its sound quality and clarity. However, in terms of reliability, it scored low. I just could not understand why it starts to give problem although I have taken several precautions by using automatic voltage regulator(AVR) to stabilize the voltage. Besides that, I occasionally dust the unit and make sure the cabinet where I keep the unit is well ventilated by installing ventilation fans.
See, hear, experience everything.
This stylish and compact full digital home entertainment system plays practically any disc in high quality Dolby, DTS or SACD surround sound. So relax and fully immerse yourself in movies and music in your own personal environment.

Tonight @ the Library: Meet the Author - Amy BloomWritten by Barbara T. on 01/21/2010
Bestselling author Amy Bloom will be here on Thursday, January 21st at 7 p.m. to talk about her just-released book, Where the God of Love Hangs Out.
Bloom, beloved for her short stories, is also the author of Away, Come to Me, and A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You.
Here's some buzz about the new book:
Janet Maslin of The New York Times calls Where the God of Love Hangs Out a "beautifully astute new book" and adds "Ms. Bloom is as interested in the forces that rupture bonds as in the ones that, against all odds and sometimes at terrible risk, manage to create them. The subtle, stirring title story ably illustrates Ms. Bloom's tremendous gift for imagining life as a series of choices, with the paths not taken as vivid as the ones that are."
"Richly drawn… Bloom bravely exposes the double-edged nature of sex and romantic love, her two great subjects." —Elle Magazine
"If you delight in the densely detailed, wryly funny, provocative fiction of Amy Bloom, her new story collection will not disappoint…To read Bloom is to fall in love—with her characters and with the magic that language can make." —More Magazine
A book signing will follow the presentation. Books will be available for sale. Refreshments will be served.
Click here for more information.
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library's contributions to our Annual Campaign, and the author's appearance is made possible by Barrett Bookstore.

Imagine the folks who came over on the Mayflower tolerating one of thier fellow pilgrims who upon arrival, sat on the beach and said " When you guy get a house built for me, some food in my pantry, and a fence built for my protection, let me know so i can move in ". I think they would have told this miscreant to get up and help or rot where he sits. Why should it be different now. Your compassion is either guilt or ignorance, and can no longer be tolerated in America.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall
February 25th, 2011
Cherry Brady. Now here is a woman who truly understands the mind of the tit-man. A lusty, busty redhead with huge 36G naturals, an equally sexy butt and an overall mouthwatering bod. An intelligent, aware woman who loves tits and protests breast reductions. A woman who subscribed to Voluptuous magazine years before she sent in her pictures to our office and became the famous covergirl of the February 2003 issue, almost spilling out of her cherry bikini. A man's woman. "I am still a 36G," Cherry told V-mag's editor. "Sometimes I wear a 38G. But if it were up to me, I would go topless everywhere. I wear a bra so that I don't offend anyone." In this fresh vid shot for XLGirls, Cherry tells us about her plans for the next 20 minutes. That includes one of the things that everyone loves to see Miss Brady do and that she loves to do all the time at home: try on and take off sexy, tight swimsuits, lingerie and other outfits that produce erections as well as give Cherry erect nipples from the sheer pleasure of wearing them. This vid is even more sensational because of the use of a full-length triple mirror that reflects some truly bodacious angles as Cherry models her clothes and plays with her succulent danglers and cherry-sweet cunt. Three cherries. That's called a jackpot! Cherry fans also know her to be a great jack-spirational talker who immediately establishes an instant horny link to the mind of the tit-man. Cherry continues this tradition in Mirror, Mirror On The Wall. Roll that video and turn Cherry loose!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
After you've been around a while, you realize that all that loot will drop again. I've been running heroic PUGs since I hit 80, must have run a dozen of them. So far only one upgrade for me (huge upgrade though). Went into Naxx10 with my guild, got the 2 piece T7 set. Now that's lucky. My feeling is that pretty much all loot has equivalents somewhere else. All the random drops from heroics have equivalents in naxx10, or BOE crafted, or rep items. So...point being, go for the fun, not the loot.
I think the funnest PUGs is when we wipe a bunch of times figuring out the strat, then nail the boss finally. The loot is secondary (especially so since i don't expect anything good to drop).
One pug we did was an hour before reset, we wiped a bunch of times on the second boss, only to see a group member bail. We invite another, got the boss down the next time, and just blitzed through the dungeon. We downed the last boss with 10 minutes on the timer. That was exciting!

abbr. Laura Michelle Kimball
- A nickname for an ambitious, young, impatient dreamer.
- A 20-something glamazon who is changing the world.
- A word warrior whose pen slays metaphors and tames dragons.
- A blog dedicated to exploring all of the above.
I'm a marketer, social media community manager, writer, blogger, and all-around content and communications girl. Words and language drive me wild and finding innovative ways to wrap them around each other is what I live for. Storytelling. It's more than a buzzword; it's a way of life.
I'm a producer of ideas, projects, and collaborations. I love connecting people and making things happen. Passion and drive is infectious, and something I'm proud to surround myself with everyday.
I'm a writer and social media strategist, who knows how to roll up her sleeves and get the work done. Curious what I can do for you? Shoot me an email or a tweet.
I hold a Masters in Writing with a concentration in Book Publishing and a Bachelors in English literature, both from Portland State University. Though, dollar words are not my specialty. My claim to fame: I was the first intern and author coordinator for Wordstock, the largest book festival in the Pacific Northwest. It was one of the most challenging experiences in my life and I'm proud to say that the festival is running strong.
I burn rubber on the weekends and have a crazy obsession with lifting weights. I've been making bobbin lace since I was four years old and someday I will bring handmade lace back into fashion through intricately designed, fingerless lace gloves.
My indulgences are artisan coffee; beautiful, white, Belgian draft beer; and cake. And I would love to meet you over any of these things, be it virtual or IRL. I am the happiest when surrounded by stacks and stacks of books and the love of my closest friends. My husband is an artist and a dynamic force in my life.

- Global social media team member at HTC
- Writer and social media strategist for-hire (for those who want to "pick my brain")

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $150K in Storm Lake, IA.
Kathy understood our needs and worked with us to find just the right home. She has been very responsive to our questions and concerns, has made herself available to us on short notice and has made purchasing a home extremely hassle free.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $125K in Holstein, IA.
Kathy was always available to answer any questions we had in buying our first home. She is from the area and worked well with the listing agent as well as the bank, home inspector and appraiser.
If you want an agent dedicated to you as a buyer, I would highly recommend Kathy. I'm sure the same can be said if you were selling.
We put in an offer and closed on our house in less than a month. We also closed on the date we picked when we put our offer in. I would attribute the ease and smoothness of the whole process in part to Kathy's work. We couldn't have had a better experience in purchasing our first home.

It was Great. We were constantly amazed at the professionalism, hard work, knowledge and extreme helpfulness she provided to us. As a matter of fact we have already recommended her to Bill's sister. If anyone is ever in the market to buy or sell in the Storm Lake area, we will always recommend Kathy! She is still helping us and we have closed! The best experience in buying a home we have ever had! We would love to have her over for dinner. . . as soon as we get settled!

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 in Alta, IA.
Kathy Holstein was the agent who was given the job of selling the building at 115 Main , Alta . She was very pleasant to work with , and very professional . Within 2 days from when she first showed us the building , the deal was done . She was very organized , and due to that , was able to put the deal together quickly . We also dealt with Kathy when we were interested in an acreage north of Alta . On two seperate occasions , both Saturdays , she came up so we could take a look at the property , and when we had questions she didn't have the answer for , she was on the phone and got the answers for us . I highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell .

Kathy answered all our questions and if she did not know an answer she found it out. Kathy also was helping us out when we were thinking of buying a home in late 2009. She met us at the house on more then one occasion. I selected home in the service provided because the did not have business their.

Sold a Single Family home in 2010 in Schaller, IA.
kathy worked with us for over 2 years and throughout that entire time she never once failed to return a call-- was always there with honest, up front avdice and guidance. In the end we ended up buying a house that was more or less for sale by owner but convinced the seller to list it with Kathy and we paid MORE for the house than the asking price to ensure she had a commission. That is how good she was-- and how pleased we were with her service.

A spokesman for Speaker John Boehner says the House will vote Tuesday night on legislation that would reopen the government and avert a financial default.
Michael Steel says the bill would keep the government operating until Dec. 15 and let the Treasury borrow money until Feb. 7.
It also says members of Congress, the president, vice president and thousands of congressional aides would no longer eligible to receive employer health care contributions from the government that employs them.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House or Democrats, who had objected to an earlier version of the House GOP bill.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"Game of Thrones'" Jack Gleeson Is a Better Actor In GIF Form than in Reality
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | May 28, 2013 | Comments ()
GQ ran an interview with Jack Gleeson, who plays Joffrey on "Game of Thrones," a few weeks ago, and while there's not a tremendous amount of insight in the interview, it's notable for two things. First, he thinks that Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner is the best all-time villain, but because of his accent, it sounds like he's saying Rutger hooer, and I laugh every single time I listen to it (it's in the first 10 seconds. You should listen, if you're sense of humor falls below the 10th grade level).
Second of all, the interview gave us this GIF set (via Reddit), which is all the justification the interview needs, especially since I find that Jack Gleeson is a much better actor in GIF form than in reality.
And that's actresssin'!

Krashing Down 'Survivor One World' Episode #9
Episode 9: "Go Out With a Bang"
Boy oh boy episode nine of Survivor One World made me want to blow a gasket! How could the men have screwed up this badly? They made so many million dollar mistakes in this game, and it reiterates my point on how huge numbers are.
You Play To Win The Game
After last week we seen Kim maneuver her way into disbanding Michael. Following the departure of Michael it left Jay, Troyzan, Leif, and Tarzan left for the males. Leif and Tarzan have no credibility in this game and are just people to take to the end. Therefore you would THINK Jay would be like, "wow I'm the next to go." There was a small reward challenge in watch Tarzan basically won for his group. Following the reward challenge the ball really got rolling.
Kim, the mastermind of this game, got her troops of girls together to plot a hit on Jay or Troyzan. Basically it was one of those, "whoever doesn't win immunity" situations. With a hidden immunity idol still in play they had to be careful. Chelsea felt very reserved making this vote, not wanting to be a liar. If big moves hurt you, why did you sign up for this game Chelsea? She is a prime example of how you can make it far in this game by aligning with the right people and doing nothing. So we get to the immunity challenge and it is an endurance standing competition. In true Survivor fashion Jeff had plenty of food items to lure the castaways down. Slowly but surely all the girls were dropping out of the challenge for food. With the girls having numbers and feeling confident, you'd think Jay HAS to win this. Nope he jumps down, "trusting his girl alliance" for some chicken. You seriously just gave up a million dollars for chicken? Jay wins the idiot award for this season of Survivor.
Chelsea ends up winning the challenge as a way to prove herself worthy. I suppose, every dog has its day. I'm still not sold on her as a legit player. The girls get together and decide the votes need to be split just in case an idol is played. Troyzan and Jay should know that this is most likely happening and be ready. Luckily for Troyzan he has an idol and is ready to play it. Troyzan, a heady player, warns Jay that this is happening and he will play an idol tonight. What does Jay do? He IMMEDIATELY runs to Kim like she's his mommy and tells her. Really dude? Really… They voted off Jonas, a likeable guy. They voted off Michael a strong AND likeable guy. So no way they will vote out you right? This episode made me want to punch a hole in the wall.
An Uphill Battle
With Jay tipping off the girls, any play Troyzan had was defeated. He wanted to rally people to vote for Kim but just didn't have votes or time. Five votes went to Jay instead of splitting it ensuring his exit. They also snuffed an immunity idol as Troyzan played it. The men sure have squandered everything in this game. I take it back to win they decided to give up immunity and vote Bill off. They were willing to sacrifice numbers, and essentially willing to give up a million dollars. One man stands a chance to win this game, in the name of Troyzan. He has to start searching for an immunity idol ASAP, assuming there is a new one. He also has to keep winning immunity. I think he can put a run together, and I hope he swings the game. Kim's reign may also be short lived. I believe Sabrina is smart enough to know she has to axe Kim at some point in order to make the big move to win this game. Next episode it's Troyzan vs. everyone! Can't wait to see if he can pull a Fabio win streak from a few seasons back.
Player Of The Week: Kimberly Spradlin
Player Of The Week Standings:
1. Kim – 3 Wins
2. Sabrina – 1 Win
2. Christina – 1 Win
2. Troyzan – 1 Win
Michael (Eliminated) – 1 Win
Matt (Eliminated) – 1 Win

How to stop the Bailiff from demanding money for Parking and Clamping
Norman Hendricks from Stoke on Trent
My car was clamped by a bailiff because of a parking fine that I had actually paid.
I saw John's website, so I rang him to see what he could do for me. I hired him and followed his advice and suggestions.
Guess what? The clamp was off four days later!
Have you been CLAMPED over an unpaid Penalty Charge Notice? Call me! 07909 588 519
Have you been TOWED over an unpaid Penalty Charge Notice? Call me! 07909 588 519
Have you HAD A BAILIFF LETTER OR VISIT over an unpaid Penalty Charge Notice? Call me! 07909 588 519
Do you want to RECLAIM FEES you paid out to the bailiff? Call me! 07909 588 519
If the bailiffs are demanding money for parking and clamp removals they will no doubt demand a large payment on the spot.
Even if you can prove you have made a payment, the bailiff company may not have passed the money onto the council (or TFL) and this gives rise to further visits and more bailiff bills, meaning that your nightmare is never over. Read about the bailiff scam.
However there is a good chance I can recover some or all of that money and get the remainder cancelled. In situations like this, it is possible (depending on your individual circumstances) to get the WARRANT REVOKED and the case passed back to the council.
A bailiff must be lawful, justifiable and proportionate in his acts and behaviour so don't give in.
To get immediate help with your bailiff problem call John Galt on 07909 588 519.
Please note: I don't help you get off paying parking charges - I understand there are plenty of Google-able organisations that say they know how to do this. If the fine is for £60, it's cheaper to pay it than to pay me. I only get involved if matters proceed to bailiff visit stage and the bills really start to rack up into the few hundreds.
These testimonials show how quickly a case can be resolved.
Hundreds of previous customers' names and numbers available
If, in the past three years, you have already been clamped or towed and then paid the bailiff, then I can get you a refund from either the bailiff company or the council. I charge £125 for this service and am proud to offer a full refund in the case of failure.
The alternative is to contact the Citizens Advice Bureau. They are very good but you may have a long wait to get an appointment and they cannot represent you in court or arbitration so you will have to contact a lawyer at some point. This costs money (£100 to £200 hourly) because there's no Legal Aid available for anti-bailiffing. Basically, you're on your own - UNLESS YOU CALL ME! 07909 588 519

Surgical Director, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Director, Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, and Medical Director of Informatics, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta; and Associate Professor of Surgery and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine
The electronic medical record (EMR) is slowly transforming the way doctors, nurses, and other health care providers deliver patient care. Patients financial records have been electronic for decades; however, clinical data (the information entered by doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals) has been lagging. Processes for capturing lab and radiology results, history and physical details, operative reports, discharge summaries and other critical data have been very basic; paper charts remain the primary means of documentation and communication among the health care team.
Today, some hospitals are creating comprehensive EMRs for their patients that include the documentation and orders entered by all health care professionals. These EMR systems help:
Make it easier to access and share patient information among doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and other health care professionals, regardless of whether they're in the same unit, on separate floors or even away from the hospital. For example, if the doctor caring for your child in the hospital gets a call after she's home, she can access nearly all the information in your child's medical chart via her home computer (with the appropriate security clearance).
Allow your physician to order medications and procedures with the added benefit of EMR system "guard rails" that generate alerts to prevent errors, such as an overdose, giving a medication your child is allergic to, or prescribing drugs that are incompatible.
EMR systems designed for offices perform many of the same functions, just on a smaller scale.
Most of the top medical centers in metro Atlanta have implemented or are in the process of implementing a comprehensive EMR. Yet, the transition to comprehensive EMRs has been slow. In fact, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine last year found that only four percent of physicians had a comprehensive EMR and 13 percent had a basic system. The primary barriers have been cost and time. Over the next several years, you should see an increase. The federal government is encouraging hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices to do so and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes stimulus money to help offset part of the cost.
In the future, as more EMR software manufacturers adopt international standards, your records will be electronically available from nearly any medical facility that you and your family visit. For example, if your child gets sick on vacation in Florida, you will be able to grant access to his pediatrician's records and any previous hospitalization records to the Emergency Room doctor taking care of him. In addition, your pediatrician will be alerted and have the ability to access information about the ER visit. The details of how this will work are still being discussed, but this is the goal.
August 31st, 2009
10:08 am
Dr. Wulkan,
Your article is correct. I work in the Healthcare IT industry. The EMR adoption has been slow, but the industry needs more Physicians like you, to embrace this technology.
August 31st, 2009
10:48 am
What about patient privacy? Has anyone here ever been to the doctor about something somewhat embarrassing that you don't want people reading about years from now? Seriously. How can the fact that someone got a tampon stuck up them and had to have it removed have any bearing on their health years down the road? How many of you know someone who works at a hospital or doctor's office and all these records will now be available for them to read. Don't kid yourself people. There will be no privacy once everyone's medical record becomes available for people to read.
August 31st, 2009
5:21 pm
What type of privacy does one have with their financial records? Is that information readily available to anyone with an internet connection? I think not. Those that work in hospitals already have access to the records in your paper file. Get Real, this is much needed. I once dropped off a prescription at the pharmacy for my asthma, and received the wrong medication because the pharmacist couldn't read the doctor's handwriting. EMR's would take care of that. Your assumptions are eerily similar to 'death panels'. Don't listen to everything Rush and Hannity tell you.
August 31st, 2009
10:01 pm
I work in the field. I use EMR records every single day. I don't know about the financial end of it, but I do know about the medical end. Any time you see a doctor for any reason, there will be a notation of it. From then on, anyone who access to your EMR record will be able to see a note from that visit. Like I said earlier, any embarrassing thing that you might want to put behind you will now be available for future doctors, nurses, office personnel, hospital personnel to see.
People who work in a hospital now do not have access to the paperwork from every single doctor visit you ever had. I really don't think you know enough about EMRs to be commenting on this. Sorry.
August 31st, 2009
10:02 pm
By the way, I never listen to Rush or Hannity.
September 1st, 2009
6:39 pm
First off, Dr. Wulkan, I think this is a great article. EMR adoption has been slow, but as more facilities and physicians adopt it, and as more patients are introduced to it, I think that it will help change the overall way we approach healthcare, making it more of a team, or partnership, effort. I would like to see greater conversation between doctors and patients, which requires interoperability. I use HealthVault to record my family's visits, innoculations and other medical information. It would be outstanding if I could share that information with all of our various doctors instead of the paperwork process I currently go through. And it would be easier, I have to believe, on the various doctors, for them to be able to see in a glance what doctors a family member has seen, and what medications they are on (how many times do we not know the dosage or the actual name of the medicine). As for the privacy issues that have been brought up, perhaps there will be a way to tab specific visits that are non-essential for an overall diagnosis. I for one thought it to be hysterical when I went into an urgent care recently, having sliced my finger nicely. Specifically, the date of my last menstrual cycle or pap smear have absolutely nothing to do with suturing my finger. It's perhaps a matter of better "filing" of necessary data.
September 15th, 2009
9:50 am
Patients can access their electronic medical records online with MRI: https://www.medicalrecordsinternational.com and even get 30 days free trial. They can control what to share and what not to share with doctors.

People from such diverse backgrounds were coming together and breaking boundaries, all for the same thing, Rebecca Carlson '11 said during the presentation.
Powershift intended to educate college students about the New Green Movement. The New Movement is based heavily on environmental justice. Kate Tecku '10 said that the new movement is different than the "original hippy movement." The new movement attacks the issue of global warming through policy and encouraging development of renewable energy sources.
"It's politically and economically minded. It's a practical way to approach the problem," Tecku said. "We want to let people know about the movement because it's o big and real."
The presentation covered an array of "green" ideas that are showing up around the country, from riding your bike to building green or eco-friendly roofs. The purpose of the presentation was to create awareness of the environmental policy activities.
Students were continuously encouraged to become involved anyway possible. For the past two years, St. Olaf has won the Minnesota Energy Awareness month competition. The energy conservation competition now includes colleges and universities from around the country and internationally.
Presenters also raised the idea of creating a "green economy." There would be jobs created through new technology and workers for "dirty jobs" would be trained. Currently, there is a Green Job bill going through Congress, which asks for government funding and support to get this program going. "If we can send a man to the moon, then we should be able to build ecologically sound cities," Balzer said. "It's good to see people concerned about their future and the future of the whole world," said a Northfield resident who attended the meeting, Greg Carlson. "It often takes young people's energy to get things done.
Of about 70 students from Minnesota, five were selected to talk to Senator Amy Klobuchar, including Tecku. During the time they spent with the senator, the group lobbied for the 1Sky Campaign.
1Sky is "dedicated to aggregating a massive nationwide movement by communicating a positive vision and a coherent set of national policies." The 1Sky solution is a three step process. The first is to "mobilize America" and have "5 million green jobs conserving 20 percent of our energy by 2015."
The second step, "secure our future," includes "freez[ing] climate pollution levels now and cut at least 80% by 2050 and 20% by 2020. The third step is to "transform our energy priorities" which would stop production of "coal plants that emit global warming pollution," and to "invest in renewable energy."
In light of the recent ads on TV during this political season about the new "Clean Coal" campaign, Balzer said, "It's a little less dirty. There is no such thing as clean coal. I used to think that the only way we would have peace on earth was if there was some sort of alien attack." He continued, "But maybe global warming is that alien." Balzer said the easiest way to become involved is by contacting representatives and senators.

Grab These Gold Coins While You Can
There's a new kind of stampede taking place these days. This one is into Buffaloes. The new $50 American Buffalo gold coin from the U.S. Mint, that is. It seems fitting that, at the very time we are seeing gold setting record highs almost every day, the U.S. Mint is releasing the 2009 American Buffalo gold coins. The strength of these magnificent creatures is certainly reflected in the purity of the gold each coin contains.

Book of Nehemiah free images and Bible art. Search art and lessons in Nehemiah by verse. Free high resolution images and study resource.
The Book of Nehemiah is a companion book to Ezra, and indeed formed originally one book with it. The chief document upon which it is based must have been from the hand of Nehemiah himself, consisting, as it does, mainly if not wholly of the personal memoirs of Nehemiah, another historical source of first rank which the chronicler seems to have incorporated complete in his book.

Sweet and Sour and Fiery Ribs
My favorite cuisine? Well sort of Mexican, Southwestern, Thai, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese. You know what I mean.
I like a lot things and the "most liked" can depend on the time of day, the smells on the street, how long since my last pasta gorge, or how long since I ate some great ribs.
Ribs. No matter what the "cuisine" I can do the ribs. It can be a Chinese restaurant with those red gems, or a Thai place with ribs floating in broth, or a barbecue place with smoke in the air. It's always the ribs. Yes, the next morning, even after brushing my teeth, I'm still getting stands of meat from between my teeth. But, you know what? Those strands can still taste great.
This recipe for Sweet and Sour and Fiery Ribs comes from The Great Ribs Book by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandsion. It's a universalist recipe that can be applied to ribs of any denomination: beef, pork, or even lamb. Beef is the meat of choice, though, for these.
Here you will find sweet flavor from honey, sour from vinegar, and heat from chipotle. Plus lots of overtones from tomato paste, cinnamon, and cilantro. There is flavor aplenty here.
When we make these, we don't marinate for just the 15 minutes minimum. We go the whole hog [or whole cow] and let the sauce penetrate for hours and hours. I know there are discussions about how long you really need to marinate something. I am of the firm belief that you have to give all the flavor molecules equal opportunity to penetrate and offer up their tasty secrets.
I have to say that on a Sunday afternoon or early evening, when your football team is the race for playoff spot, you have a choice. You can be in the stadium, with the rain and snow, cheering your team on and then braving the 3-hours of snarled traffic to get home. Or you can be watching on your big screen, munching these ribs and having a beer or some sangria. What you do is up to you. I don't drink and drive.
Sweet and Sour and Fiery Ribs
Yield: Serves 4
- 6 pounds beef ribs or ribs of your choice
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- ½ cup chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- ½ cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped cilantro sprigs
- 6 gloves garlic, finely minced
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs if it is still present. If you are not sure, talk to your butcher when you buy the ribs.
To make the sauce, come all the remaining ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal bland and puree. Makes about 2 ½ cups.
Coat the ribs evenly on both sides with half the sauce. Marinate the ribs for at least 15 minutes and up to 8 hours. Reserve the remaining sauce to serve with the ribs [or you may be basting with it if you are oven roasting or grilling; if you are a sauce freak and paranoid, just double the recipe; you can use leftover sauce the next day on your sandwich instead of mayo].
Cook the ribs using the technique you prefer: grill, smoke, or roast. Since winter is upon us, the instructions for roasting [indoors!] are presented below.
Once cooked, serve by cutting each side of the ribs into single ribs or half or one third side slabs. Serve at once with the accompanying sauce.
How to Oven Roast Ribs
Preheat the oven to 350⁰F. If your oven has a convection setting, set the oven on "convection" at 325⁰. Place the ribs on a wire rack, meaty side up. Place the rack on a foil-lined baking sheet on the middle oven rack. Place a small pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven, and roast the ribs until the meat begins to shrink from the ends of the bone. Brush the meaty side with reserved marinade one or two times during the roasting. Do NOT turn the ribs over. Approximate roasting times: pork baby back ribs and country-style spareribs for 75 minutes, spareribs and beef ribs for 90 minutes, and lamb ribs for 40 minutes. Don't overcook that lamb!

Strawberry-Habanero Marinade for Spareribs [the ones that come from pigs and not cows]
"Oh, careful," I said. "Your hair is going into the sauce. What's wrong?'
We were at a local barbeque spot and for some reason Suzen was dipping her head right into her food.
"What's wrong?" I repeated.
"You can be so embarrassing," Suzen expressed herself.
"What did I do?"
"When the waiter brought your spareribs," she pointed with her fork towards my plate, "you asked him if they were beef or pork."
"What's wrong with that?" I asked.
"Brian," Suzen's voice was low, "spareribs only come from pigs. No cows. No little lambs. Pigs! My God, why can't you get that straight?"
Today, I slunk into my local bookstore and found The Great Ribs Book by Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison, whose The Great Wings Book I reviewed last week. This tidy volume begins with a survey of what ribs are:
- Spareribs coming from pigs appearing either Kansas City-style or St. Louis-style.
- Pork Baby Back Ribs: the Rolls-Royce of ribs offering more meat and less fat
- Country-Style Spareribs: cut from the pork loin and featuring lots of meat and just a little bone
- Beef Back Ribs: offering lots of bone and not much meat
- Beef Short Ribs: a combination of meat and bone that is best cooked slowly with smoke to avoid toughness
- Lamb Ribs: fatty and low in meat, these ribs are best smoked or grilled or roasted, but cannot be braised.
The Great Ribs Book continues with discussions about:
- Fresh versus frozen [go fresh!]
- Preliminary boiling of ribs before grilling or smoking [no, no, no]
- How to remove that white membrane
- How to marinate, baste, cut, grill, smoke, roast or braise
In short, you have a complete primer on ribs! And then, the recipes unfold in chapters devoted to:
- Asian style ribs
- American style
- Mexican and Southwester ribs
- Mediterranean and Caribbean ribs
- Fruit-based glazes and marinades
- Braised ribs
I particularly love those fruit-based glazes and this book offers a combination that I would never have imagined: strawberry, soy, habanero and mint. To use this marinade, make it and coat the ribs evenly on both sides. Marinate the ribs, refrigerated, for at least 15 minutes but up to 8 hours for the very best flavor. If you have extra marinade, baste the ribs as they cook.
Strawberry-Habanero Marinade
Yield: about 1 ¼ cups or enough for 2 full sides of spareribs
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ cup thin soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons habanero hot sauce
- ¼ cup finely minced ginger
- ¼ cup minced mint leaves
Combine all the ingredients and whisk or stir well to create a uniform mixture. No cooking is necessary.
