Calcutta, former seat of the British Empire and today capital of West Bengal, sits just above the Ganges delta. Fish is cooked here in harmonious combinations with root vegetables, squash, and leafy greens, incorporating Bengali seasonings such as pungent kalonji seeds and ground mustard seeds. In the following recipe, for a truly authentic taste use mustard oil instead of vegetable oil. Be sure, though, to heat the mustard oil to the smoking point and let it smoke for 3 to 5 seconds. This tempers its pungency.

I really wanted to like this, but found it only ok. Not the best use of lobster tail and there are a bazillion more interesting ways to prepare shrimp.flag if inappropriate
Sorry, I meant to write halibut chunks, not monkfish, which is not Kosher.flag if inappropriate
To cescaca. Fish is dairy and so there is no need to substitute for the Yogurt. I'm a private chef and am getting ready to prepare this for a Kosher client. The only substitute I will make is monkfish cubes for the lobster. I am not reviewing this dish now, as I have not yet prepared it.flag if inappropriate
I thought this was just OK but my friend loved it. I used shrimp, added more spinach, added cumin as well skipped the serrano but added chipotle powder at the end and served over rice...it was good but a bit bland.flag if inappropriate
I keep kosher, so I made this with fake crab and non-dairy yogurt. And used frozen spinach. Even with these substitutions, my guests raved over it. I have also made it with non-dairy sour cream, but it was not quite as good.flag if inappropriate
I made this for dinner tonight with only 1 variation (didn't have a serrano, used a pinch of cayenne). We thought that it had very good flavor and certainly presents lobster in a different way. I will make this again.flag if inappropriate
Excellent. I am Bengali and rate thisw as pretty authentic. I used jumbo shrimp, frozen spinach and went heavy on the chile, added a pinch of turmeric and 1/2 tsp of cumin. I intend to make it again.flag if inappropriate
We made this with shrimp and thought it was worth a place in our 'do agains'. We used cous cous and found that that was a good accompaniment.flag if inappropriate
I have made dish twice for guests and it has gotten rave reviews. I smash the coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle for a little added texture.flag if inappropriate
I thought with all the rave reviews that this would be fantastic. Upon reading the ingredients, I thought it needed a boost so instead of using one serrano chile, I used four since we like our food spicy. However, this dish was still on the bland side. Definitely not worth the cost of the lobster.flag if inappropriate

Festival of new musicals to play Uptown Theater in Grand Prairie
Broadway veteran actor Tim Jerome, founding president of National Music Theater Network, Inc., founded MainStreet Musicals, a non-profit organization, to help new musicals to blaze a speedier path to regional audiences.
Fort Worth's Tony Award winning star, Betty Buckley, was the matchmaker that brought Dallas on board. Buckley gave Jerome contact information for Dallas composer and pianist Adam Wright as someone who might be interested in organizing the program locally. That led Aaron Adair, the prime affiliate for MainStreet Musicals DFW to call Wright. They met at a Starbucks where, Wright notes, "all great deals are made," and Wright got Doug Voet from Uptown Theater in Grand Prairie on board.
"I was thrilled to get involved with a project that celebrates new works of musical theater," Wright says. Peter DiCesare will play the title role in Merton of the Movies and Amy Stevenson will play Ricki Valentine in The Gig.
Here's the line-up:
April 6: Merton of the Movies, book by Donald Brenner, music and lyrics by Doug Katsaros
April 7: How Green Was My Valley, music by Roger Ames, book and lyrics by Elizabeth Bassine.
April 8: The Gig, music, book and lyrics by Doug Cohen
Plan Your Life
April 6-8 at 8 p.m. nightly at Uptown Theater, 120 East Main Street, Grand Prairie. $10, $25 festival pass includes all three shows. 214-237-8786. uptowntheatergp.com.

A map that shows you how long it takes to travel across the Bay Area on Caltrain, BART, and Muni Metro. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 10, 2014.
A map that shows you how long it takes to travel across the Bay Area on Caltrain, BART, and Muni Metro.
About this project
As seen on The Atlantic Cities and SFist.
The Design: A Map of Minutes
(See more at www.stonebrowndesign.com/bay-area-time-scale.html)
What would a map look like if instead of showing you how far away a place is, it showed you how much time it will take to get there? In this map of transit in the San Francisco Bay Area, stations on BART, Muni Metro, and Caltrain are spaced according to the time it takes to travel between them. Places that are farther away on the map will take longer to get to; closer places are quicker trips. Heading to a neighborhood for the first time? Scouting out someplace to move to? With a quick glance, you can get a sense of how "far" a destination is in terms that are often more important than miles on the ground—minutes of your time.
It's been very exciting to see this map come together over the past few months. I started by collecting published schedule information and calculating average travel times. Then, I sketched out a design that would accurately show these times, while also making an effort to keep the basic shape of the rail systems recognizable. In countless design decisions big and small, I tried to make a map that both presents information clearly and looks good doing it. For more information on the design, and to see other examples of my work, check out the project page on my website.
The Project: Send it to the Presses!
After the huge success of my last Kickstarter project, a map of the Greater Los Angeles freeway system inspired by the design of subway maps, I'm back on Kickstarter to get support for my newest work. I'm hoping that folks in the Bay Area love their transit as much as people in Los Angeles love freeways!
Your backing of this project will fund a print run of 18" x 24" posters, bringing this design to life for the first time. Graphic design can look great on a screen, but nothing compares to seeing it full size, beautifully printed on top quality paper. This size of this print is perfect for framing—hang it at home or in the office so you can estimate how long your next trip will take. It'll be a unique design statement and a practical travel tool.
I've worked with professional printers on several previous projects. So when this one goes to press, I know what to look for to make sure the work comes out looking fantastic. I'll use a heavy card stock and archival inks that will keep the poster looking great for years to come. Printing on an offset press will ensure crisp lines and deliver the meticulous reproduction needed to show off the attention I've put into the smallest details of the design.
The map will be revised before it's finalized, and I could use your help to finish it up. If you spot any errors, or anything that could be made more clear, please let me know! (firstname.lastname@example.com) I'll post updates on my website. The print will then get a thorough proofing before going to press.
Risks and challenges
The biggest challenge is nearly over—the map design is 99% finished!
Once the project is funded, the main risks are snags with the printer. Predicting the printer's schedule can be difficult, so I've been careful to build time into the production schedule to make sure backers aren't waiting a day longer than expected.
There's also always the risk that my hands will cramp from rolling so many posters. But I'm willing to press on through any adversities for the good of my backers.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The Internal Revenue Service continues to extend its already vast overreach, this time by agreeing to monitor church sermons as part of an agreement the government made on July 17 with the aggressively atheistic Freedom From Religion Foundation.
This is a setup from the start. The rail line will never make money, so it's being funded with gifts in the hopes that taxpayers can be gulled into paying for its expansion in the future.

Steve Forbes calls for defunding of the IRS with the only reason for its continued existence being "a handful of clerks to process refunds." But why stop there; why not repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish the income tax?

The Pitfall to Drinking Wine? Purple-stained Teeth
I'm partial to reds, however, I'm not in love with the purple stains my favorite wines leave behind on my teeth. It's the reason I choose white wine at any public event. I learned this lesson the hard way several years ago at a networking conference.
When I first got to the conference, I chose a cabernet sauvignon and walked around, energetically introducing myself. I felt awesome with all that bubbly energy, meeting new people, collecting business cards — until I used the ladies room and got a good look at my teeth. I tried rinsing my mouth and chewing gum, but neither of these tactics were good in a pinch. These Wine Wipes would have really come in handy that day.
A recent Yahoo News article reports that they work pretty well, so there is hope for all of us red wine lovers.
I also learned about a few "folk remedies." Swishing some seltzer, eating hard, waxy cheeses, and even munching on crunchy fruits and vegetables are believed to help remove wine stains. Sounds a bit dubious to me. There's also the added effect of cheese breath and celery stuck between your teeth. At least the red wine is fun.
5 Essential Tips for Cooking with Wine
You can slow cook it, saute it or marinate it – wine enhances flavors and is always the best ingredient in whatever you're cooking. But, there's a bit more to cooking with wine than just pouring it into the pan.
- Choose a wine based on other ingredients in the dish. If you're cooking something spicy, pick a full-bodied wine that can hold up on its own. If you're cooking something light, such as chicken or fish. go with a white wine. Creamy sauces generally work best with white wines, and a sweet dish needs a sweet wine.
- Know some versatile wines if you need to make a substitution. Pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, merlot and syrah all come in handy, especially if you don't have the exact wine you need for a certain recipe.
- Consider the acidity of the ingredients in the dish before adding the wine. Cut back on acidic ingredients to account for the acidity of the wine.
- Don't add wine to a dish just before serving. Let it simmer with the food. Adding the wine too late can leave a harsh taste.
- Use a wine that you would drink while cooking your dinner and while eating it.
So, what are some of your favorite wine-based recipes?
Creating Your Own Wine Cellar
Serious wine drinkers keep their vintages in designated, temperature-controlled places and so should you. Once you have more wine than just the few you bought for a dinner party, and especially when you make your very own, it's time to make those wines last and age to perfection with your own wine cellar.
But don't worry — a wine cellar doesn't have to be subterranean. There's no need to clean out the cobwebs in your basement if you don't want to. You don't need to install an expensive, temperature-controlled vault. And, you don't even need a large amount of space. Â All you need is a designated place in your home that gets no direct sunlight, and stays at a constant and relatively cool temperature. You can even use the back of a closet for a wine rack.
Here are some tips on creating your own wine storage space:
1. Wine doesn't rot, but if not stored carefully, the taste will, um, not be so great.
2. Store wine in a space not subject to extreme temperatures. So you know, keep wine out of the bathroom, the sun room in July or an igloo in Antarctica. Experts say the best temperature for wine is between 50 F and 65 F.
3. So what's the deal with humidity? Some humidity is good because it keeps the corks from drying out. You also want to protect labels from peeling or drying out so 30 years from now that vintage will look as lovely as ever. If possible, a place where humidity is between 50 and 80 percent works best.
4. Wine racks are good as long as you keep wines on their sides to keep the corks wet and to prevent too much oxygen from getting into the bottle.
5. How you organize your bottles and where you end up keeping them really depends on your favorite wines. Personally, I'm a bit of a Riesling snob. Rieslings need to be kept at cooler temperatures, so you might want to keep those on hand in a wine cooler stored in your kitchen — or by the couch. It's wherever you need your wine.
6. If you're looking for wine racks, we have some great deals right now at Lakeland Winery. Hint hint: A wine rack makes for an excellent holiday gift. Contact Christina at [email protected] for more details or just come to the winery.
Stems and Bowls: Selecting the Right Wine Glass for Your Wine
Drinking wine from the right glass didn't matter much to me once upon a time when I was younger and lazier. What was important was having something from which to drink the wine — you know, like a clean mug found in the back of the cupboard, an empty plastic cup found at a party, or, oh heck, the bottle. But having since developed a refined palette that doesn't include Boone's Farm, I can't drink wine out of anything but an actual wine glass. As it turns out, the type of glass you serve your wine in does matter.
I promise you this is not some arbitrary wine-snobbery. Some wine glasses really are meant for different types of wine.
Let's say you're having a tasting party with your classiest friends and you want them to really get the best experience from the different wines you serve. Here are the basic wine glasses you'll need:
1. Red wines need to be studied and savored and the best way to do that is with a glass with a wide bowl. A glass with a big bowl lets you easily swirl the wine and release its bouquet.
2. Because they're usually chilled, white wines, are served in narrow wine glasses in a smaller serving than red wine.  Tulip-shaped glasses are the best for white wines because they hold in the delicate aromas.
3. Dessert wines and ports should be served in short, flute-shaped glasses. Dessert wines are usually imbibed in smaller amounts because they're so concentrated with sweetness.
4. The tall, thin Champagne flute is best for those sparkling wines. These glasses help keep the bubbly bubbly.
Of course, you can get wine glasses for all types of varietals. If you're partial to drinking Chardonnay, Riesling, Viognier or Bordeaux, glasses are made specifically made for those.
OK, so what if you're not having a tasting party? What if you're just sitting at home enjoying a glass of wine because you're a wine blogger with lots of student loans? You can use a universal wine glass. Yes, one type of wine glass to hold your reds with their big aromas and your whites with their delicate flavors. An all-purpose wine glass should not be too-wide but not t00-narrow, and it should hold about 10 ounces of wine.
A tip: A wine glass with a thin rim can make for a better tasting experience than a glass with thick rim. A glass with a thin rim is less intrusive and helps you get the full effect of the wine's flavor and aroma.
And, do yourself a favor. Hold the glass by the stem so your hand doesn't warm up the wine.
All Hail the Wine Queen
I'm not really one for beauty pageants, but I think Germany's Wine Queen pageant is one I can get behind.
The Vinography blog met up with the 2012 Â German Wine Queen, Annika Strebel, at ProWein, Europe's largest wine exhibition. Becoming the German Wine Queen is no joke.
Vinography notes:
"The wine queen program is a remarkably savvy idea that celebrates many of the best things about wine and culture without falling prey to the trashier aspects of many beauty pageants. By celebrating beautiful, intelligent young women that are passionate about wine, the program both serves to attract younger people to the culture of wine, while at the same time demystifying and glamorizing it."
Wine queens not only have to be lovely and enchanting in evening gowns, but these women must also be serious wine connoisseurs. Wine Queen contenders must pass a series of tests to win the crown. Vinography reports that the hopeful Wine Queen must give an impromptu speech on a randomly chosen German wine region; she must be able to answer questions about the differences between wine regions and grape varieties; perform a blind sensory analysis of a sample of wines; describe winemaking techniques for any type of wine; and make a speech about German wine in English using key words provided by the jury. Phew. Â I'd stumble over that like a certain 2007 Miss Teen USA contender from South Carolina every single time.
The Wine Queen devotes an entire year to her reign, and according to Vinography, it's a huge time commitment. Past queen Mandy Grossgarten told Vinography that being wine queen "pretty much turns your world upside down." Many wine queens are students who must take a year off from their studies to participate in hundreds of publicity engagements. Strebel recounted that she participated in an underwater wine tasting in SCUBA gear as part of her queenly duties.
Strebel, who is taking a year off from her studies at the  prestigious viticulture and enology program at Geisenheim in Hessen, Germany, plans to eventually take over winemaking at her family's Weingut Strebel winery.

Buzz: Giants failed to reel Tuck in with new deal
The first several hours of the "legal tampering" period have gone without event. We did learn one thing thus far – the Giants floated an offer to impending free agent Justin Tuck, which was obviously turned down.
From Jordan Raanan of the Star-Ledger:
An offer was made to Tuck prior to the opening of the "legal tampering" window on Saturday afternoon, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NJ.com. It is believed to have been made at some point in the past week, but no deal was struck between the two sides.
John Fennelly, Lead Writer
This tells us two things. One, the Giants want Tuck back and, second, Tuck is going to play a little hardball with the Giants in negotiating a new deal.
It's no secret he wants to stay in New York. Much like his former teammate, Michael Strahan, Tuck has made inroads here as a top sports personality and a philanthropist. Leaving New York now to play for a few extra bucks somewhere else just doesn't make sense for him.

On Monday, the Boy Scouts of America announced they will be considering lifting their long-standing ban on homosexual members and leaders. The announcement comes as a surprise, given the Boy Scouts' reaffirmation of their stance against homosexual membership just last summer. While the move has been widely lauded, it should be cause for serious concern. Such a move would set the Boy Scouts on the dangerous path toward redefining not just Scouting principles, but traditional Judeo-Christian morality.
The new measure, which is set to be decided next week at a meeting of the Boy Scouts of America leadership in Dallas, would allow open homosexuals to participate in select troops, left up to the discretion of regional sponsors. The decision comes after a tough year for the Scouts. In the fall, Intel Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. both withdrew funding from the Boy Scouts over their "discriminatory" policy against homosexuals. In December, the Merck Foundation withdrew its funding also, citing the same reason. Also in the fall, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and Scouts for Equality announced they were contacting other corporate sponsors and urging them to remove their funding.
Some local troops already have been allowing homosexuals to participate, in defiance of the official policy. As spokesman Deron Smith said, the decision to reconsider comes after "a long-standing dialogue within the Scouting family."
Last spring, lesbian mom Jennifer Tyrrell was removed as den leader of her son's Cub Scout pack. She started a Change.org petition in protest, garnering more than 333,000 signatures.
Individual Scouts have protested the organization's anti-homosexual policy, as well. Ryan Andresen, now 18, made headlines in October 2011 because he was refused his Eagle Scout award after "coming out" in July of that year. The Scouts also claim they withheld his award because of his statement that he did not agree with the Scouting principle of "duty to God," but the issue went national as a question of homosexual "rights."
Eagle Scout Zach Wahls has been fighting for inclusion of homosexuals through his organization Scouts for Equality, which has been working closely with GLAAD to force Boy Scouts to include homosexuals.
Popular opinion seems to be shifting against the Scouts' long-held position as well, as Americans embrace a more open outlook on the homosexual movement in general. In December, an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found that 51 percent of Americans favor homosexual "marriage." President Obama has endorsed it as well, and even made historic mention of "our gay brothers and sisters" in his second inaugural address last week. As the tide turns, traditional morality on this issue becomes increasingly unacceptable.
Quite simply, the inclusion of homosexuals in the Boy Scouts will force them to redefine their morals. The issue continues to be cloaked in civil rights language, which leaves no leg to stand on for those who hold traditional views. As Ms. Tyrrell said about the impending decision: "It is a step toward equality in all aspects." Yet an honest assessment reveals the issue has nothing to do with equality. No Christian would deny that open and active homosexual boys and potential Scoutmasters are equal in dignity to all Scouts, and all people. They are not, however, "morally straight" — one of the principles the Boy Scouts promise to live by in their oath.
According to the U.S. Scouting Project website, to be "morally straight" means, among other things, to "remain faithful in your religious beliefs." The homosexual lifestyle blatantly contradicts biblical teaching and Christian beliefs and principles. Accepting individuals who are living in a way the Bible describes as gravely immoral redefines what it means to be morally straight — and forces the Boy Scouts of America to stand behind a new, decidedly un-Christian definition of morality. If homosexuals want to live out their lifestyle as they see fit, that is their decision, and they have the right to do so. They have no right to impose their worldview on any organization that opposes it on moral grounds. In fact, for them to do so directly violates the First Amendment of our Constitution.
Tellingly, even as pro-family and conservative groups decry the Boy Scouts' move, homosexual activists give it measured praise, calling it only a good first step. As Mr. Wahls writes at ScoutsforEquality.com: "While we feel that this is an important step in the right direction, we believe there remains more work to do." Homosexual activists are already preparing to push for full inclusion in the Boy Scouts of America once it is allowed at the local level.
There can be no middle ground. Including homosexuals in some troops will start the Boy Scouts down the slippery slope of being forced to reject their Judeo-Christian principles across the board. While the measure under consideration now will allow parents to choose troops that align with their values, even that small concession will soon be attacked as prejudiced and unfair. The Scouts should reject the move out of hand now, before it's too late to turn back.

Riding with the Kossacks
Markos Moulitsas Zúniga and me.
Jun 26, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 39 • By MATT LABASH
Las Vegas
Well if you didn't feel that, it's probably because you weren't at the Riviera Hotel here on June 8-11, for the first YearlyKos convention. Not to rub it in, but you missed out. Not to brag, but I was there. Sure, there were times throughout the proceedings when I wished I was elsewhere. Maybe during some of the jibber-jabbery panels and roundtables and caucuses and workshops. Maybe during the "Sustainable Energy--Energize America" panel with Gov. Bill Richardson. I mean no offense, Bill. Maybe America does need other kinds of energy besides People Power. But do I really want to sit around a dingy conference room talking about renewable fuels when I'm in SinCity?
Maybe I'd have liked to be at the blackjack tables, or to see a Danny Gans show, or to hang out at the Palms Hotel pool where all the women have brand-new breasts and all the meatheads keep feeling their triceps every few minutes to make sure they haven't shrunk since the last inspection. Maybe there were panels that made me cry out for my mom, like "MetaKos," moderated by Kos, which caused blogger Skippy The Bush Kangaroo to describe his dispatch from the conference as "blogging about people talking about people blogging about blogs. Did your head explode yet?" Maybe I yearned to be down the street at Gilley's at the Frontier casino, which promises "Cold Beer, Dirty Girls, Mud Wrestling Live, Bikini Bull Riding." I mean, after all, we People-Powered types cannot live on Kos alone.
But I stayed at YearlyKos, and I stayed because I had a little laminated rectangle around my neck that said "YearlyKos Convention," but which might as well have read "Press Pass to History." Because if you'd had ringsiders to watch Hammurabi inscribe his Code in black diorite, or Luther tack his 95 Theses to the door in Wittenberg, you wouldn't have played hookie at the Frontier, watching dirty girls mud wrestle bull riders.
No sir, you'd watch history get made. Because before history becomes history, it has to be a moment in time. And if I could cast the convention into song, I might very well make it Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time." Or maybe one of Kos's selections, since he's also a piano composer. Maybe his 1996 track entitled "Solipsistic Affirmations." Either Whitney Houston or Kos--maybe I'd have Whitney Houston sing, with Kos accompanying her on piano.
You could read about this history being made, too. But not in some jive, dead-tree history book. I read about it in real-time pixels--what we in the People-Powered community call "live blogging." It means blogging something as it's happening, rather than after it happens--or even before it happens, which one blogger told me is called "predictive blogging." I read about the history that was being made in all-star blogger SusanG's Daily Kos diary. She wrote it in the middle of the convention, in a post she entitled "Yearly Kos: The Magic of People Power Made Manifest."
"We are hungry," she wrote, "hungry for each other in person." Easy, SusanG, the World's Fare Buffet is just down past the Capri rooms. (Sorry, we netroots types like to kid each other.) She went on to call it "pure magic," saying, "We are here. We are at the gates. We will no longer remain passive and meek in order to court favor. We, the people, are coming to power slowly and indefatigably, here in Vegas, and here on the blog. We have arrived."
And they have, too, as evidenced by the massive media turnout. There were tons of them. You couldn't tell where the netroots ended and the media began. Sometimes, if you were a journalist, and you were trying to interview someone in the hall, you'd have to first give them the once over to see if their netroots were showing. Otherwise, you might end up accidentally interviewing Maureen Dowd. It's like SusanG wrote: "It seems like every fourth person you run into is here covering the phenomenon of . . . us. We're worth it, too. We are something else."

At least five people have been killed by police and some 1,500 injured in demonstrations in Cairo to mourn 74 fans who were killed at a soccer match on Wednesday in Port Said. Thousands of militant soccer fans, the ultras, gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Thursday, chanting against Egypt's interim military government who they accuse of being complicit in the violence. Some witnesses at the soccer match between Port Said's team and the Cairo-based Al Ahly club said that Wednesday's violence was not (as the military has claimed) "pure hooliganism," but that "provocateurs in some way connected with the state" instigated the violence. Some members of Egypt's newly elected Parliament have also said that security officials in Port Said were in some way responsible.
In another sign of the unrest in Egypt and the current government's inability to control it, two female American tourists and their Egyptian guide were kidnapped in the town of Saint Catherine, a tourist hub near Mount Sinai. The government says that Bedouin tribesman, seeking the release of two relatives arrested on suspicion of drug possession, were behind the abductions. The hostages were released to the Egyptian police after a few hours though it was not clear if Egyptian authorities had met the Bedouins' demands. On Tuesday, 25 Chinese factory workers were abducted from a company bus in Sinai; they have been released, according to the Chinese government.
Soccer Riot in Port Said Turns Deadly
The Guardian gives this account of how the soccer riot started:
Trouble began at full time when a group of supporters from the Al Masri home club stormed through open gates leading onto the pitch, first chasing players from the losing Al Ahly team of Cairo, and then their supporters, many of whom were crushed against closed exit gates….
Morgue officials in the city said that most of the dead had been killed by blows, falls or being crushed, and not by bullets, for example. TV footage of the riot showed men on the pitch with clubs and poles, which are banned from football grounds.
Islam Saeed, a member of the Al Ahly ultras told the Guardian of a "huge lapse in security," with almost no security outside the stadium and security not intervening when crowds stormed the field after their team made a goal and then doing nothing as the violence escalated.
The bodies of 52 of those killed in Port Said have been taken to a morgue in Cairo, suggesting that most of those who died were fans of the Cairo team. The New York Times also says that news reports say many of those killed were teenagers or younger.

Im glad im not a fan of ANY sport ! phewwww !!
The the people who wrote the last 3 comments. Do you actually read the articles or have any background information on the stories you comment on? Your comments are ill-informed and sententious in the extreme.
This is just plain crazy behavior.
These are not football fans just a bunch of goons at football matches, creating trouble. They should not have season tickets.
I truly do not understand the insane level of violence that a GAME causes!
I have never heard of such violence before at soccer matches in Egypt so it does raise the question of why now?
Pooir Bernard C.
Ad hominem attacks and lies and misrepresentations. You think you're funny too, but you're pathetic and everyone can see it.
Oh my John D. what a comedian you are! Man, you should have your own road show with houris, dancing camels and wickedly seductive nanny goats in tutus following you around. Now this soccer punch up is according to your usual faultless intelligence, the fault of those terrible Zionist Jews beating the crap out out of these peaceful soccer loving Egyptians. There is just no peace for you and your righteous (riotous?) brethren is there. By the way, John is a name that is derived from the Hebrew Yôḥanan - surely using a Jewish name must be anathema to a Muslim Brotherhood supporting neo-Nazi?
very sad

Nearly three years ago, I wrote The Ultimate Guide to Video Marketing on YouTube. I understood relatively early on in the growth curve of digital video and YouTube that both would play a significant role in the future of marketing. A year or more ago, however, a 9 year-old helped me see the true potential of digital video for sales and marketing.
With roots in search engine optimization (SEO), I've long extolled the virtues of YouTube, as the world's second largest search engine. Unfortunately, the full potential of the video social platform didn't fully come into focus until my son shed light through his interest in skateboarding and bracelet-looming.
Last Spring, I noticed my son's rubber band bracelet creations were getting increasingly complex. I also noticed his skateboard knowledge and abilities improved drastically in a short period of time. I asked him how he learned these new skills and he replied "YouTube." Like many other young web surfers, my son was using YouTube as his PRIMARY search engine and educational tool.
I quickly realized that my son was not alone in relying heavily on YouTube videos as a primary if not sole information source. If he was searching YouTube for "how-to" videos on... Read more

3,800 flights cancelled as blizzard approaches East Coast of US
Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and extend into New Hampshire and Maine.Forecasters say the snow will fall quickly and accumulate fast and are urging people to get to a safe place because they might have to stay there for quite some time. "This one doesn't come along every day. This is going to be a dangerous winter storm," said Alan Dunham, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts. "Wherever you need to get to, get there by Friday afternoon and don't plan on leaving." People have been asked to be well prepared in New York City and New Jersey, which were both hit hard by October's devastating Hurricane Sandy and have still not fully recovered. Hurricane Sandy killed more than 100 people in the United States, bringing hurricane-force winds and heavy rains to a wide swathe of the US East Coast. The storm plunged more than 3 million people into darkness, about half of them in New York and New Jersey. It also forced the shutdown of public transit, schools, airlines, and financial markets in the East Coast's largest cities. TE/HGL

Miracle baby
This is my story about how I was given a light, a way and a chance that saved my son's life.
When I found out I was pregnant, I was fearful and uncertain. My friends asked, "Are you going to keep it?" Obviously, I had a choice.
'Peace be with you'
"On the evening of that first day of the week," according to the Gospel of John, "when the doors were locked, where the disciples were … Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, 'Peace be with you.'"
Toxic confusion in San Francisco
San Francisco's archbishop is in the crosshairs of powerful cultural foes — other Catholics.
What is a dignified death?
When my 80-year-old grandmother began to forget her eldest child, my mother, it was hard for our family to comprehend. No one ever imagined that a person as beautiful, strong and vibrant as my grandma could look at her little girl and not know who she was.
Is the devil real?
Is the devil real? Here is Msgr. Ronald Knox on that: "It is stupid of modern civilization to have given up believing in the devil, when he is the only explanation of it."
Dialogue: an essential ingredient for peaceful relationships
Respectful dialogue is absolutely necessary to root out the weeds of violence. Respectful dialogue communicates first and foremost from the heart. It speaks from the heart and listens from the heart.
When religion and secularism butt heads on public policy — a regular occurrence these days — religion typically is obliged to fight with one hand tied behind it. Unfair, you say? Certainly it is, but that's how the game is played these days.
The Church of Christ without Christ?
With the collapse of the mainline Protestant churches in America, Joseph Bottum argues, what has taken their place is something he calls — borrowing from author Flannery O'Connor — the Church of Christ Without Christ.
Anticipating the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage
The likelihood that the Supreme Court next June will announce its discovery of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage raises an obvious question for the Catholic Church: What do we do now?

Driving into Walla Walla I am amused at the signs about your roads.
When people are elected into office or hired, it is expected they will do their jobs. For the people entrusted with maintaining the city's infrastructure it would be expected that roads would be part of everyday duties.
So they are now doing their jobs and have to spend additional money to let you know, as if you wouldn't. You have to wonder if they will be asking for a raise since they are now doing such a great job for the taxpayers.

A failing frontier homestead offers a passing stranger their hospitality, but he has his own way of repaying their generosity. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 5, 2012.
About this project
Passion, determination, and old fashioned good luck are what it takes to make a living off a wild frontier. Outlaws and settlers, good and evil, guilty or innocent, all face the same danger at the prospect, and take the risk in hope of the possibilities. The true story of a family that faced the ultimate dangers of that risk, and the man who gave them another chance, has been the source of inspiration for this film.
We're big fans of Utah, the West, it's villains and it's heroes. The man known as Butch Cassidy, notoriously armed with a big heart as well as a gun, traveled the frontier in search of his own fortune. It was his famed generosity though, that matched every bit of his reputation as an outlaw. He chased down the wealthy, but never forgot the poor. He was a man who had his own unique sense of justice, and didn't hesitate to do what he thought he should.
There are many reasons we're making this film. We're ambitious in our work, passionate about film, and in love with the old frontier. Most of all though, we're telling this story because its about doing good, and how powerful a little doing good can be.
We've armed ourselves with the skills and desire to make this film, and like everyone else who tackles the frontier, we need some good luck too. We hope that you can be as excited about this film as we are, and would like to help us in seeing it completed. With a production schedule set to put us on the path towards film festivals and all manner of great opportunities, we hope that you will contribute to this project, and join us in the making of a film that we'll all enjoy, and can make a difference with. Thank you.

When litigation is necessary, Eric focuses on the tasks and arguments that move the case toward the client's desired result without any distractions that needlessly increase the costs of litigation.
In addition, Eric has litigated several pro bono matters through his work with the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest. He successfully represented a religious organization in an insurance coverage dispute, convincing the insurer to move from its "no coverage" position. Eric has also helped veterans obtain medical and disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. He has also successfully stopped the deportation of unaccompanied immigrant children, who came to the United States to escape violence in their native country, by helping them obtain permanent residency.

It has been the cause of infamous international foodborne disease outbreaks and yet it is the most studied bacterium in science, an essential part of the human digestive tract, and a backbone of the biotech industry. To enhance public understanding of the bacterium Escherichia coli, the American Academy of Microbiology brought together the nation's leading experts to consider and answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this multifaceted microorganism.
"The story of E. coli, what we are trying to tell in this report, is really much larger than just its role as a pathogen. It's been such a large component of research for so long so much of what we know about biology has come from studying E. coli," says Michael Doyle of the University of Georgia Center for Food Safety, a member of the steering committee.
The report, entitled FAQ E.coli: Good, Bad and Deadly is based on the deliberations of 13 of the nation's leading experts who met for one day in September 2011 to develop clear answers to frequently asked questions regarding the role of E. coli in scientific research, human health and foodborne disease.
Some of the questions considered by the report are:

I looked everywhere, called the insurance company and I was told that they cover it 80% and that we have to get it from a DME (durable medical equipment) supplier in their network. I did the research and they have zero information listed on their website (anthem.com/ca) on specifics.
All I understand is that we are to get a prescription from our Dr. and submit it to the place where we are to buy a breast pump from.
My question is - has anyone else with Anthem Blue Cross gotten coverage for a breast pump? Also, has anyone else gotten a better list? I could not find one online. I was never given a comprehensive list on where I could get one, except for the fact that I can call either one of these:
Liberty medical supplies corporate 800-467-8546
Edgepark medical supply 800-307-5930
Neither one works for me. Liberty says they're based on the east coast and they can't service me since I'm on the west coast (so cal). Edgepark also doesn't have the adequate supplies I need.
*****Update #1***** 1/8/2013
- Signed up for an account on Edgepark to make the process easier.
- Called Edgepark, waited 30 mins to be serviced. I was told that I can only order a breast pump with them within 30 days of my due date so I have to call back then. My due date is 2/24 (so that makes it around Jan 25+'ish at the earliest)
- Phone: I was told that Edgepark carries all the pumps that Medela has on their website, and they do not show all the pumps on their online catalog.

For the next harvest, Rafael needs a loan so that he can pay the coffee pickers that he has hired. In addition, he will pay the cost of transporting his coffee. The loan will be repaid at the end of the harvest. With the profits that he will earn, Rafael would like to make a few modifications to his house and complete a few details that need to be finished.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
These loans are designed to help farmers expand their existing crop yields and increase their incomes. The loans are designed to fit the agricultural cycle, allowing farmers to make purchases during the planting season and repay following the harvest. Coffee production loans help farmers maintain and grow their fields by cleaning, pruning, fertilizing, and conserving the grounds, delivering water, and replanting trees needed to shade the coffee plants.
Important InformationLa Union Regional de Pequeños Productores de Cafe Huatusco (or, La Union Regional) is a member-owned, Fair Trade-certified coffee cooperative based in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Kiva helps fund loans for La Union Regional's members, allowing them to plant more crops and convert to more profitable organic farming methods. La Union Regional is backed by Fair Trade USA and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which retails members' coffee.
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
Because La Union Regional's core business is not microfinance, there is some level of additional risk for lenders. Kiva's partnership with La Union Regional is unique and unprecedented. For this reason, Kiva has not assigned the organization a risk rating. More information can be found on La Union Regional's partner page.

Draft Faculty Handbook/Revisions in process/8/19/2015
A significant amount of review and revision goes into updating the Faculty Handbook. It became apparent that a Faculty Handbook is a living document, constantly in need of revising and updating. For that reason, and because of the rising cost to re-print and revise the entire handbook, it was decided to move to a Faculty Handbook Binder and an online version. Each faculty member is entitled to one binder, to last over a period of several years. Updates can be sent via email. Faculty are urged to review the handbook and contact the Office of Instruction with any questions, clarifications or changes to the current material. The Faculty Handbook will also be available through the Human Resources website.

About six months ago I tried as best as I could to document my experiences moving from iTunes to Windows Media Player, and my attempts to preserve as much metadata as I possibly could during the move. I was really the most concerned with my song ratings, which are central to my listening experience, but also tried to demonstrate how to move playlists and libraries over. I didn't think that my little blog entry was going to be read by that many people, but apparently I was wrong—it gained a little bit of Google-juice and I was off to the races. I now get a few mails from people a week trying to get their libraries moved over from iTunes to Windows Media Player, and now that we are quickly approaching Christmas, nervous parents have been contacting me more than ever trying to get their kid's new MP3 player stocked with music before Christmas morning.
There are a couple key things that people are having trouble with, and they all revolve around music file formats. In an ideal world, all music files would work on all devices. We all know that we don't live in an ideal world. Apple (and Microsoft) would like you to use their more locked-in formats to keep you from easily moving from device to device. Apple uses a format called AAC and Microsoft uses WMA. As expected, iTunes won't play WMAs and Windows Media Player doesn't play AACs. This makes migrating a bit of a pain.
The key is that MP3s are the lowest common denominator—both programs play MP3s without a hitch. The key is to get iTunes to convert your AAC files to MP3s. Here's how to do this:
Voila! You should now have MP3 copies of all of the music you ripped from CDs to your library. Please note that this technique does lose quality, so if you're an audiophile, you're going to want to use the good ole fashioned "rip from CD" method directly from Windows Media Player first. Just remember to tell Windows Media Player to rip to MP3—don't get stuck in this mudhole again! J

Turkish mine accident kills four
At least four miners are feared dead in a blast and fire at a Turkish mine on Tuesday, media reports said.
Several workers were reportedly present in the mine when the mishap occurred.
"The incident involved an explosion in a transformer," Energy Minister Taner Yildiz was quoted as saying by CNN.
Rescue teams have reached the spot.
"The rescue teams are very experienced," Yildiz told the channel.

Mary Wilhoite wasn't expecting doctors to hear a murmur the first time they listened to her unborn child's heart. She spent the next nine months hoping that her baby girl, Maggie, would be born healthy.
After Maggie was born, Mary learned that her newborn baby was a victim of a congenital heart defect – pulmonary stenosis
"I found out when I was pregnant," Mary Wilhoite said. "The first time the doctors listened to her heart beat they heard a murmur."
After recently updating its nuisance ordinance and instating a nuisance-enforcement board, the Owenton City Council is getting down to business and foreclosing on an Owenton house.
The council met Feb. 2 and voted to take this action on a purple house on East Perry Street.
Owen countians will get a taste of fame when the spring edition of "Back Home in Kentucky" magazine reaches the mailboxes of thousands across the state.
"Back Home in Kentucky," now based in Shelbyville, began in 1977 when two brothers came up with the idea of putting together a positive-news magazine featuring all things Kentucky.
The magazine was bought in 2000 by its current owners, Bill Matthews of Shelbyville and May Penniston of New Castle.
There isn't much to report this week. The "Big Storm" came as advertised. We only got about 3 ½ inches on the Branch and that came in the wee hours of Saturday morning and lasted till only about 10:30 a.m.
The sun came out and it was a beautiful day – if you were inside. When I got up Sunday morning, it was -3 degrees on my thermometer at the front of the house.
The past week for the Owen County Lady Rebels was one of contrasts.
The week began with a trip to South Oldham to play one of the better teams in the 8th region. The week ended with a home game against Williamstown, a team that is not as highly regarded.
While the Lady Rebels dropped a 49-45 decision to the Lady Dragons, they played better in defeat than they did in a 34-28 win over the Lady Demons.
The snow finally arrived early this morning. It's a measly three inches, but it's better than nothing. I don't know who is more relieved to see it – me or Bill, the nice weatherman on Channel 18.
The long-anticipated Owen County Family History Book was released Thursday by the Owen County Historical Society. The hardcover book, over 288 pages with hundreds of photos never before seen by the public, covers the history of many prominent Owen County families, churches, clubs and schools.
Owen County Historical Society President Jeannie Baker said she can wait to start turning the pages.
"We've waited a long time for this," Baker said. "I am going to curl up somewhere warm and read it straight through."
After suffering a congenital heart defect, 12-year-old Nick Smith's life is finally going back to normal and has taught his family the significance of being close to one another.
Smith, who played football for Maurice Bowling Middle School, didn't know what was causing him to feel bad, until one day at football practice in the fall of 2009 when he collapsed on the field.
Smith's mom, Debbie Smith, said Nick had told his coach that he wasn't feeling well.
Several questions faced the Rebels as they entered play last week against Eminence.
Would Owen County be able to get healthy after an eight-day layoff? How would the Rebels respond to an opening round loss to Gallatin County in the All "A" Classic?
The answer to the first question can be answered with a resounding no.
While senior Blake Lewis was able to get back on the floor against the Warriors Jan. 26, another senior was not quite as fortunate.
Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith was pleased with the turnout of the first Owen County Fiscal Court workshop, but said she was disheartened after a sometimes contentious exchange between some magistrates and former judge-executive Billy O'Banion.
Keith said the workshop, which took place Jan. 26, began with discussions on a wide variety of issues.

The Payment Engineers. Upstart. I left Google in early 2012 with a few colleagues to found Upstart based on a simple idea: how can we help more people do what they were meant to do?
The world is changing fast, and the idea of a safe and predictable career is fading in the rearview mirror. What if we could help "upstarts" with a slice of economic freedom so they could pay off a loan, cover living expenses, or take a course that will pay dividends for years to come? And what if that financial freedom was provided by backers who have more to offer than just money? Upload and Sell your eBooks with Paypal - Payhip.

At a minimum, get your lawyer to review very carefully, and edit, the language of those sections.

Alec Baldwin set to give up 'public life'
Alec Baldwin is reportedly quitting public life, as the latest cover of New York Magazine features the actor with the words, "I Give Up."
The publication's writer Joe Hagan said that the article would be "a candid talk" with the '30 Rock' star, the Huffington Post reported.
The former MSNBC host, who was earlier caught yelling anti-gay slurs to a photographer, is reportedly saying "good-bye to his TV life" in the article.
