Since 1988, tens of thousands of Chin people have fled from Chin State, Burma, seeking refuge in neighboring Mizoram State, India. Fleeing the widespread and persistent ethnic, political, and religious persecution by the Burmese military regime, their numbers in Mizoram have grown to an estimated 100,000. The Chins seeking refuge make up almost 10% of Mizoram's population, which is 95% Christian.
ZA, a recent arrival, is an 18-year-old single, male fleeing Burmese army conscription.
Even at his young age, the Burmese military has subjected ZA many times to forced labor as a porter carrying the army's supplies. He has witnessed army brutality against fellow porters, especially those who are older or sick and unable to keep up with the group. He knew of the military's brutality against nearby village leaders after the Chin pro-democracy group members passed through the village. He fled, not wanting to be part of an army known for its brutality against his people.
VE, a 26-year-old mother, has kidney problems likely due to drinking contaminated water for an extended period of time and sometimes faints from the pain.
While her husband does manual work in Saiha, she cannot work to support their family because of her pain. The local hospital referred her to Aizawl in order to get treated for her kidney problems, but she has no money to pay for the transportation there. When asked what she will do, she says she will continue to live with the pain because she cannot afford to get proper care. Her seven-month-old baby recently became very sick because she could not afford to buy proper medicine for him.
While Mizoram is known in India for its natural beauty and high literacy rate, the state is less well known to people outside of India. Mizoram is a landlocked, mountainous state among the remote seven northeastern states of India. The northeastern states are connected to the rest of India by a narrow strip of land between Nepal to the north and Bangladesh to the south. Chins in Mizoram State have for the most part been out of sight and out of mind for the international community.
We have been moved by the courage, resourcefulness, and deep faith of the Chin people and encouraged by the compassion, hospitality, and deep faith of the people in Mizoram. Our hope is to be a catalyst for concerned governments, churches, and organizations to join together with them in good faith to address the protection and humanitarian challenges of the Chins in Mizoram and to reduce the humanitarian burden on Mizoram State and India.
A roundtable approach is solutions oriented. The people involved talk and listen to one another with openness and respect, come to know one another, build working relationships and trust, place challenges of mutual concern in the center of the table, and work toward a common understanding of those challenges, and of how to meet them together.

Please Join Us in Reflection
If one of your kinsmen in any community is in need in the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor close your hand to him in his need.
Instead, you shall open your hand to him and freely lend him enough to meet his need.
Be on your guard lest, entertaining the mean thought that the seventh year, the year of relaxation, is near, you grudge help to your needy kinsman and give him nothing; else he will cry to the Lord against you and you will be held guilty.
When you give to him, give freely and not with ill will; for the Lord, your God, will bless you for this in all your works and undertakings.
The needy will never be lacking in the land; that is why I command you to open your hand to your poor and needy kinsman in your country.

Kendrick Lamar Urges Fans to Research Nelson Mandela
Hip-hop is mourning the passing of freedom fighter Nelson Mandela. In light of the South African leader's death yesterday, Kendrick Lamar urges his fans to learn about him.
"Advising all my young ones that follow me to research a small piece of Nelson Mandela Life. That's how you pay your respect...... GO!" Kendrick tweeted.
Other musicians have echoed the sentiment. "One of the greatest men who's ever lived!!! #Legend We will never forget the things this man has taught us, and we will never truly comprehend the level of strength that it took for him to endure many of his years!! Thank you #Mandela" Rihanna shared on Instagram. "I've never been so honored to meet anyone #Mandela," said John Legend added, with a photo of himself and the civil rights leader.
Nelson Mandela was the former president of South Africa, who steered the country from apartheid to democracy two decades ago. He passed away Thursday (Nov. 5) after battling an ongoing infection in his lungs at the age of 95 years old.

Putting The Hype To The Test
By Vince Elliott
Please Go To; http://www.janiservu.com/ for similar postings!!
Advantage Cleaning Services Does Janitorial Services In Horseheads, N.Y. 14845!!!
I received a question from a reader about the effectiveness of scrubbing with ionized water — rather than chemicals — to clean floors.
After some searching, I found equipment that is filled with regular tap water that becomes electrically charged and is used to clean floors.
Could something like this really work?
We wanted to find a challenging floor care environment, one that''s been using a chemical scrubber to clean floors.
A soft drink bottling plant/warehouse in Baltimore was the answer: A 24/7 operation with bottling conveyor belts running nonstop, pallets loaded with cases of soft drinks everywhere and forklifts racing around all day to keep up with six active loading docks.
The resulting floor conditions include lots of sugary syrup residue from spills and leaks, petroleum-based grease spots, stains and residue from forklift wheels, track-in from busy roads and parking areas and residue from the equipment and conveyor belts.
The questions we asked were:
Does the activated water scrubber deliver an acceptably "clean" floor in this extreme environment?
Is there a difference over time between the results delivered by each machine?
Are there advantages of using the ionized water method over the current system of chemical scrubbing?
We identified five different study areas in the plant and conducted testing in the same location over a three-day period: The pallet area, the corridor, the loading dock and the bottling area, which are unfinished concrete, and the cafeteria/break room, which is vinyl composite tile (VCT).
All areas were split in half and one side was scrubbed with the current chemical scrubber and the other with the ionized water device.
On both sides of each area, the cleaning was done using only one pass with each machine.
Testing protocol and measures were as follows:
To monitor appearance, pictures were taken of the testing area
For organic load, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) devices and swabs were used on 4-inch-by-4-inch sections following device instructions
For bacteria, swab samples were taken adjacent to the ATP swab sample areas in each of the three test sections, again following manufacturer directions
For gloss/shine, a luminometer was utilized in each section and three readings were taken and averaged for the section reading, as per manufacturer instructions
For slip resistance, we used a tribometer in all three sections of the test area and measured the static coefficient of friction — the amount of force it takes to move an object
Sustainability generally considers many things, such as electricity and water usage, impact on the environment, impact on people and cost.
The results of the study were collectively measured and then categorically broken down to determine where each device is preferable and where each falls short.
Be sure to check back next month for the results of the study and to see how each cleaning method measures up.
Vincent F. Elliott is the founder, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Elliott Affiliates Ltd. of Hunt Valley, Maryland, www.ealtd.com. He is widely recognized as the leading authority in the design and utilization of best practice, performance-driven techniques for janitorial outsourcing and ongoing management.

Try this quick concoction for your special someone this year...
Gather up:
- Pancake mix
- 1 medium mixing bowl
- 1 large egg
- red food coloring
- turkey baster or something with a small spout
|{egg faces are optional! }
Step 2 - Add a few drops of food coloring. Start with 2 drops, mix well, then add until you get the color you desire. My batter wasn't a very dark so the pancakes had a pale pink coloring. I used 5 drops total
Step 3 - Add batter to turkey baster or bottle with spout. Pinterest has a really cool idea for using old ketchup bottles. I couldn't find my turkey baster anywhere! So I ended up using a sports bottle. The spout was a bit larger than I'd like, so I had to be more careful when pouring.
Step 4 - Carefully pour your batter into the pan while making your heart shape. To make it super easy, buy yourself a heart-shaped cookie cutter! Just place the cookie cutter on the pan and pour the batter directly into it!
Step 5 - Cook to perfection!
Once it's ready, serve it up to your liking! Go crazy and add a sweet message with some white icing! And enjoy your romantic little breakfast in bed!
Pin It
P.S. Don't be afraid of the color; they were delicious!

Read the original story in The Oregoinian here.
Portland State University is offering eligible staff and faculty a retirement incentive as it braces for an $8.5 million drop in revenue and $10 million increase in costs next year.
"Given the likelihood that some position eliminations may be necessary this year, retirement incentive offers are considered a best practice in such circumstances," wrote Monica Rimai, vice president of finance and administration, in an email to staff Friday.
The university is offering a $10,000-to-$40,000 cash incentive to faculty and staff who are at least 55 as of June 30 or have at least 30 years of retirement credit with an Oregon Public Employee Retirement Systememployer.
Some also can choose a second incentive instead: health insurance subsidies up to $990 a month. Those taking the insurance option can do so only for themselves and cannot be eligible for insurance from a spouse's plan.
The retirement incentive was revealed this weekend after a month of negotiations between PSU administrators and members of the PSU chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
The union has long wanted a retirement incentive, which are common in higher education, said Ron Narode, an education professor and vice president for collective bargaining for the union.
"If you want to move some people around and let some new blood in, this is a way to make it happen," he said.
But Narode, who pushed for cash payments of at least $20,000 to $60,000, questioned whether PSU's retirement incentives are strong enough to make much happen.
"Does this sweeten the pot enough?" asked Narode, who at age 58 is among the eligible. "I would never choose to take this."
He said the university, which employs more than 4,000 faculty and staff, also may have some reluctance to lose too many of its seasoned faculty as it will have to spend nearly as much in salaries to lure worthy young replacements.
"Why lose an experienced and accomplished person to bring in a brand new graduate?" he asked.
The university next year expects to operate $18.5 million in the red, in part because of a $9 million increase in salary and benefits.
"PSU is currently operating with a structural budget deficit and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future," wrote Rimai.
The school, the state's largest with nearly 30,000 students, is relying on a $53 million reserve to carry it through 2014-15, by which time it aims to balance its operating budget. To reach that balance, it plans to reduce spending, increase efficiencies and keep tuition increases as low as possible. The plan calls for reducing spending by 4 percent in the next school year.
"We have to reduce the budget every year for the next three years," Rimai said.

Hot and busy
We've had a long, hot and very busy day at the watch point and I trust everyone who managed to come and have a look at the birds 'for real' had a good time despite the fencing and the absence of any grass to spread out on!
Special thanks to the many volunteers and the two DWT staff members who helped out...without you it wouldn't have been possible!
During the day we saw the falcon (the female) flying low over our heads with a large prey item dangling from her feet and later, chasing off a passing buzzard (at least three drifted past the tower during the morning plus a hobby too) .
The tiercel (the male) although absence for long periods ('he'll be likely having a pint in the pub' is my standard reply to 'where's the male then?') he did finally appear midday with food and fed the young standing on the platform edge.
The youngsters showed well (we could often see the red colour rings on their legs when they stood on the edge of the platform) and there were several bouts of wing flapping and making their begging calls when they were hungry and eager to be fed.
It was good to see some folk who had been down in previous years and many new faces too. We had a low level telescope set up for the many children who came along. They were seeing a peregrine for the very first time in their little lives.
We also had a visit from an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair who had apparently been pestering his daughter to take him to 'see the birds'!
Apparently extracts from the DVD were being shown on the Big Screen in the Market Place nearby where the rest of the environmental fair was taking place.
The watch point will continue to run everyday for the next few weeks, 11 am to 1.30/2 pm depending on volunteer stamina and the weather....
Nick B (DWT)
Ps. The second photo, was taken today by watch-point visitor Nikki M. It shows the female flying away from the tower and one of the youngsters behind her, an unusual shot, thanks Nikki!
Pps. Incidentally I've just managed to get 10 minutes of live streaming viewing, admittedly minus sound - though there wouldn't have been much anyway at that moment.

- find out about buying the brand new DVD: "The Peregrines of Derby Cathedral")

Hi Colin - yes, we thought you were sagging under the weight of that lens a bit - still, fab pics! Just watching now: poor little Tiddler seems very aware of its lowly backward status - the only one still looking babyish. Does anyone else stroke them on the screen or am I only one mad enough to do this? :) xxx Penny
- 9 June 2008 at 21:01
Hi .. is the little one alright ? it seems to be on its own and seems more scrawny (not being nasty) and scruffy than the others.. i know the others are older, just thought id check.. ??
- 9 June 2008 at 21:50
Just seen livestream some spectacularly energetic mini-flights from the eldest: as lively as if been bitten on the bum, and flying from one end of the scrap to the other. The next two watched with interest, whilst Tiddler pretended he wasn't interested. The baby feathers are being preened out now like a snowstorm. xxx Penny

Is that a cat by the wall on the level below the nest? If not, what, please?
- 10 June 2008 at 12:51
Penny was asking "Does anyone else stroke them on the screen or am I only one mad enough to do this?"
Far from it. I've been watching them for a couple of days and I've not only been stroking the monitor but also waving and talking to them.
Who's madder?
- 10 June 2008 at 14:22
I love seeing the webcam - I am orginally from Derby but am currently living in the USA so this always makes me think about home.
I love seeing how quickly they are growing up - I am new to this and was introduced by a friend and its now a daily ritual to watch the birds!
If anyone loves Pandas too have a look at the Washington DC zoo website!

I suspect what you saw was one of the adult peregrines. They often perch there.

FOOD- THE DISH- Just in time: Corner Just Curry finds new space
Just Curry's Alex George dropped by last week to tell us he's signed a lease for a new Corner location– Mesob's space next to the parking garage on Wertland Street. (Of course, the popular Ethiopian restaurant's departure is news as well. George thinks they'll be looking for a more intimate location up 29 North, but we'll follow up on that.) Just Curry, along with Plan 9, Higher Grounds, and the Satellite Ballroom, all got the boot at the end of May, as their building's owner has struck a deal with pharmacy chain CVS. Yet for the curry man, the timing couldn't be better.
"I'm hoping the Corner store will be closed for no more than 10 to 14 days," says George, who'll be moving from a 700-square-foot space to one with 2,000 square feet. In April, George opened a downtown location in the Transit Center, which he says he'll keep and which is "doing great."
George says he plans to expand the menu at the new Corner location, keeping his meat dishes but adding more vegetarian options. He says he'll also open up the existing glass front for outdoor seating and ramp up his hours when the students get back, staying open from 11am to after midnight.
Scam alert! Take-out rip-off?
Duner's owner Bob Caldwell told us that he got a call from someone last week claiming to have found a metal object in a take-out chicken order the night before.
"He wouldn't give his name or number, just wanted his money back," says Caldwell. "After checking our records and finding that we didn't sell any take-out chicken, we figured it to be a scam."
Vivace owner Tom "Zipper" Lippman told Caldwell about a similar incident that happened in April, and when he called Hayden Berry, the former Duner's chef who opened Three-Notch'd Grill in Crozet with his wife, Cathy, Berry told him that he and the owner of Uncle Charlie's, another Crozet restaurant, got the same call last week.
"We've reported it to the Albemarle police, but I'm sure this person is probably trying this scam at other places," says Caldwell. "The phone number he's dialing from is the UVA hospital. Of course, I thought this might be of interest to my fellow restaurateurs."
Fish story: Sushi on West Main
First the bad news: Seafood at West Main owner Chris Arseneault decided to close his lunch counter in the West Main Market. No more fish and chips, po-boys, and such. Now the good news: he's opened a sushi counter in its place!
For Arseneault, it was a no-brainer. He's been selling sashimi-quality fresh fish for the last six years. And–
"We also expanded within the last two years to include Japanese groceries," he says, "and my wife, Yoshiko, and I own the business, and she's Japanese."
Using their sashimi-quality yellow-fin tuna and Atlantic salmon, Arseneault says they're currently offering tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, eel, California, and vegetable rolls.
Global-Local food study findings
The findings of a recent student-run UVA food study have finally been compiled– and it's big news. We mean that literally. It's 172 pages long!
The product of a class of both graduate and undergraduate students in urban and environmental planning, "Healthy Communities, Healthy Food Systems (Part III): Global-Local Connections," the study examines our local food system, the local food movement in general, and according to its executive summary, is "the next step in a longer-term community project to foster better links between local farms and community schools and organizations, food stores, restaurants and residents." Indeed, the study profiles Feast!, Blue Moon Diner, UVA dining services, Chipotle, a number of local farms– even a single family– in exhaustive fashion.
Conclusions? Well, considering it would take us about a week to read, here's a quickie overview.
"The desire for a completely self-sustaining local food system is desirable to many; however, in the contemporary globally connected world, this is nearly impossible. A balance between local entities and its respective global ties work to provide a healthy system that most closely resembles the completely idealistic self-sustaining system."
In other words, how the heck can small farmers feed millions of people?
"Local, organic food may seem phony, even elitist. The luxury of owning a share of Community Supported Agriculture for a weekly box full of unusual produce or paying $2.99 for a pound of ground beef sold at Kroger for $0.99, sets the local movement outside the reach of the everyday citizen."
Which is the reason some folks call a certain grocery store on 29 North "Whole Paycheck."
Still, the study profiles the noble efforts of area farms, restaurants, and organizations to make locally grown food more readily available, and even presents a number of strategies for improving the local food system, such as Feast! owner Kate Collier's idea of establishing a publicly owned Community Food Center, a kind of local food grocery and distribution point. In particular, it examines Chipotle's effort to make its Charlottesville franchise the first chain restaurant to use 100 percent locally grown produce.
Of course, there's much more to the study than can be presented here; the co-creator of the UVA class, Tanya Denckla Cobb, says the study will be available on the class website within the next week.
Journal recommends Bizou, Ten, and Jinx's
Charlottesville's quirkiest barbecue man, Jinx Kern, is back in the news.
On May 27, the Wall Street Journal recommended his restaurant in its "off the beaten path" travel article about Charlottesville, and foodies may appreciate (and debate) the three dining picks.
Downtown bistro Bizou gets the nod for "delicious" food at "ridiculously low prices." Sushi-centric Ten is loud and lauded, but the author ruins this place for Sissy Spacek by mentioning her presence.
As for Jinx's Barbecue, the smoked succulence-in-a-dive on East Market Street gets a nod for "hickory smoked barbecue and some seriously down-home atmosphere that ranks with some of the country's best."
The barbecue man was pleased. "I'm speechless," says Kern. "It's a complete surprise."

THUMBS UP to news that the multi-million dollar, 250,000-square-foot Sheetz distribution and food manufacturing center is on target to break ground later this year if all its plans pass muster with the city of Burlington. The center will sit on 44 acres at 1737 Whites Kennel Road, but will still have to be annexed into the city. The operation is expected to eventually provide 254 jobs. Hope so. Local and state government paid several pretty pennies in incentives to draw Sheetz here.
THUMBS UP to Burlington�s Bobby Dobbs, who spent nearly four decades working with the late state icon Bill Friday on the set of UNC-TV�s �North Carolina People,� serving as the show�s producer for the past 15 years. Dobbs was recently recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his work on �North Carolina People.� He received an Emmy award from the NATAS� Mid-South Regional in Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 26.
THUMBS UP to Mary Makhlouf, a Burlington dentist, who initiated a unique and worthwhile campaign. Usually, when someone needs a bone marrow transplant, it becomes a frantic search of immediacy. Her idea is to set up a bone marrow registry that can provide a resource with matching donors. It�s a painless, cotton-swab test for the potential donor and can be a life-saving program for a needy recipient. �While we are a dental practice, members of my staff and myself want to help expand the registry of possible matches by helping with this easy test,� Makhlouf said. �Many people who are awaiting a transplant just need one person to match them, and maybe we can help them find their match with this event.
THUMBS UP to the appointment of Jane Iseley, one of the more high-profile farmers in Alamance County, to the board of the N.C. Agricultural Hall of Fame. Nominated by Republican Sen. Rick Gunn, Iseley is the owner of Iseley Farms, a farm that has been in continuous operation by her family since 1790. The farm is a part of the Forestry Stewardship Program and has been recognized as a N.C. Century Farm and as a Conservation Farm. She has always promoted farming and she�ll do a good job on the state board. We hope she keeps producing the key ingredient for Gunn�s Tomato Sandwich Day in the legislature for a long time.
THUMBS UP to the service of Hal Williams, who is hanging up his inspections hat. Williams is retiring at the end of the month as Mebane�s chief building inspector, a job he�s held for 18 years. Before his stint for the city, he operated Hal Williams Electric. As inspector, he has seen a doubling of growth in population, bringing new houses and apartments, as well as the Tanger Outlet Center. Williams is being replaced by Clifton Ayscue who has worked in a similar capacity for years for the City of Chapel Hill.
THUMBS UP to Ace Speedway�s owner, Abraham Woidislawsky, who told us this week that he has located a new general manager to replace the departed Brad Allen, though Woidislawsky said he�s not yet ready to announce the hiring. Woidislawsky, a Philadelphia real estate developer, bought Ace and its 51-acre property for $2.1 million in 2006 and despite publicized bumps in the road, he said he cares for the drivers and fans and will deliver a great new racing season beginning in late March, as usual.
THUMBS UP to Cameron Silverman, Elon University�s junior tennis ace, who posted a milestone fall campaign, upsetting several nationally ranked and highly seeded opponents. He became the first Elon tennis player to participate in the national championship tournament and has been propelled to a No. 21 national ranking in men�s singles entering the spring season � the highest ever by an Elon player.
And THUMBS UPt o collaboration among the city of Burlington, the Arts Council, the Burlington Downtown Corporation and the New Leaf Society which will see to the placement of 11 sculptures around the city�s downtown and the Boone Station roundabout at Alamance Crossing. Bringing these examples of art to the city�s core should increase foot traffic and increase awareness for the arts. Nice to look at, too.

Personal Story
When my best friend in third grade started unicycling in a local club that had just been founded, obviously I had to do it, too. After nine years of pure freestyle riding with numerous national and international titles I tried mountain unicycling at Unicon 12 in Japan 2004. While studying in Austria close to the hills around Vienna, I really got into it and learnt to appreciate the simplicity and honesty of riding outdoors.
Since then I have been taking part and suceeded in international downhill and crosscountry competitions around the globe. However, what I enjoy most is projects and trips into the alpine wilderness, climbing high, remote mountains and decending as much as possible on my unicycle. I was among the first unicyclists to climb and descend 2962m high Zugspitze (the highest mountain in Germany), to cross the Alps on hiking trails, to descend Cima Ombretta Orientale (3011m) in the Dolomites and 3406m-high Mettelhorn in the Alps. I have also dragged my unicycle to remote places such as national parks in Iceland and Patagonia, only to find out, that they are barely rideable.

Billy Corben's "Broke" has spurred a ton of reaction since its airing on ESPN this week, but in at least one case that attention apparently was undeserved.
Homer Bush, who played in 40 games for the 2002 Marlins during a seven-year big-league career, has taken to Facebook to set the record straight.
Bush, who turns 40 next month, insists he isn't struggling financially, as the documentary suggests. On the contrary, he has transitioned to a new career as a financial advisor.
"No good deed goes unpunished," Bush posted on Facebook Wednesday night. "I was asked to help ESPN 30 for 30 with 'Why Athletes go broke?' Since I transitioned from baseball into the world of Financial Advising, they thought I would have some good insight.
"It could have been misinterpreted that all of the athletes from the show have financial issues, which could not be further from the truth. And quite honestly, if I had known the format of the show beforehand, I would not have participated."
Bush, who won a World Series ring in 1998 with the 114-win New York Yankees and was later traded for Roger Clemens, made roughly $8 million in his big-league career.
"I, like many other athletes, have gone to great lengths over the years to be responsible when it comes to my finances," Bush wrote. "I can't tell you how disappointed I was in the show, and how my faith in basic humanity has been shaken."
Glad to see Bush speak up. Having spoken to Bush during his time with the Yankees and Marlins, I couldn't grasp how someone so grounded and thoughtful could run his financial life into dire straits.
Now it all makes sense.

F ormer President Bill Clinton is back in the spotlight.
After taking the passenger seat to his wife Hillary's presidential campaign and diplomatic leadership, Clinton will return to center stage at this year's Democratic National Convention to officially nominate President Barack Obama for his reelection in an opening night primetime speech.
Twelve years after leaving the Oval Office, Clinton has become one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party. His approval rating is now 66 percent— the highest since he entered office in 1993 — and convention organizers likely hope he will reprise his role as the party's best everyman cheerleader-in-chief.
In honor of Clinton's triumphant return to the national spotlight, we dug up some pictures that got us pretty excited about Bubba's comeback. Even if you're not a fan, these photos are a great reminder of how weird the 90s were.

text: Now that Washington and Colorado have voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, the pundits at Fox News are wondering what this means for our country. One anchor said, "What's to keep somebody from getting all potted up on weed and getting behind the wheel?" First of all, we should all call getting high "potted up" now. Secondly, nothing can stop people from getting high and driving a car, the same way as nothing can stop people from getting drunk and driving a car. DUIs haven't rendered booze and pills illegal. Why should it have anything to do with the legality of weed?

Britney Spears is in talks to write a novel. Really? Really.
That's according to the Hollywood Reporter, which writes, "That's right, Britney Spears is close to signing a book deal ... with plans to write a novel.... The story would incorporate fictionalized versions of her own experiences."
Spears would be following in the high-heeled footsteps of Lauren Conrad, whose novel "L.A. Candy" had commonalities with her own life. And of Bethenny Frankel, known for being on Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York City" and founding the Skinny Girl line of drinks, whose novel "Skinnydipping" is about a woman entrepreneur who finds fame on a reality-television show. Conrad's novel and Frankel's novel were both bestsellers.
Not every celebrity's novel-writing efforts have been as successful. Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a. Snooki from "Jersey Shore," may have been in all the tabloids, but her novel, "A Shore Thing," failed to find much of an audience.
Britney's fame has been longer lasting than Snooki's, of course, and her life — if she were to mine it for her fiction — is much more interesting. She was a child star, a sexy pop star, made a couple of bad marriages, became a public train wreck, and then got put back together again as a sexy pop star. Now she's a judge on "The X Factor."
At some level, Britney's life is a case of truth being stranger than fiction. Why read a novel about a pop star having a public breakdown when we all saw the photos of Britney shaving her head? And her return to normalcy — isn't that a near miraculous redemption?
There's nothing (other than the current rumor) that says Britney would have to write a novel based on her own life. Perhaps she's got a "Game of Thrones"-type saga up her stylish sleeve.

QuotedBCAC Commercial Airliners - Modernity Today
The BCAC design staffs at Filton and Weybridge have developed an outstanding range of airliners suited for all future requirements covering a range of stage-lengths and passenger capacity combined with the most modern innovations in turbine technology.
Type 167 BC.2 Britannia Series 200
This was the first of the Britannia series to be developed and flown. The BC.2 is the largest in terms of gross weight and was designed for very long Transatlantic and Transcontinental routes.
The Britannia was the first British airliner with full powered flying controls, electric engine controls and high-pressure hydraulics. A flight crew of four iss carried plus a cabin crew and up to 90 day passengers (61 is the most common arrangement on transatlantic routes) or 36 sleeper berths. The first prototype G-AGPW made its first flight on 4th September 1945 at Filton under the control of Chief Test Pilot A.J. Pegg. Today, BOAC is taking delivery of twenty of these aircraft, the first production airliner G-AKGH made its first commercial service in September 1947.

Type 167 BC.2 Britannia Series 210
The Series 210 takes the airframe of the Series 200 and marries it to four Armstrong Siddeley ASP.3 Python 3 propeller-turbine engines. The first 210 Series prototype, the third pre-production Series 200 aircraft G-AGRF, first flew on 22 July 1947 with the new engines. BOAC have 25 of these aircraft on order and the first will be delivered during 1949. BOAC also has expressed interest in a higher gross weight version with 99 passenger seats as the Series 215.

The RAF has also shown strong interest and the Series 301 is being developed to meet their needs and should enter service during 1950.
Type 630 VC.2 Viscount
Designed by Rex Pierson t Weybridge, this modern feederliner has been developed to cover the European air traffic and US air traffic markets. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce Dart turbine-propeller engines and has accommodation for 32 passengers in a pressurised cabin. The prototype, G-AHRF, was first flown on July 16 1947 by Joseph Summers. BEA ordered 20 Type 630s off the drawing board and commercial services should begin in August 1949.
Further development is the V.700 with a longer cabin for 48 passengers and extended-span wings which should fly during 1949 and enter commercial service in 1950.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World
James Carroll
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: 418 pp., $28
James Carroll's latest book is very ambitious. Invoking history, anthropology, social psychology, geography and theology, the author, a former Catholic priest, delves into the stories of the violence unleashed by the organized religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam throughout their existence. He anchors the book by describing how each has used the city of Jerusalem, holy to all three, as a symbol or metaphor or touchstone.
The book's title and subtitle, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem: How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World," suggest that Carroll intends to demonstrate that the tumultuous past of these religions is vital in understanding why Jerusalem and, of course, Israel and the Palestinian territories have become a hotbed of political, nationalist and religious conflict and violence. But Carroll, a newspaper columnist, prolific novelist and the author of the popular "Constantine's Sword," a history of 2,000 years of Christianity's anti-Semitism, has something else in mind.
His stabs at making his study relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian impasse are few and tenuous. Instead, Carroll ends the book with his personal prescription for a new religion of tolerance and peace. This may satisfy his many loyal readers. But it may leave newer ones puzzled and disappointed.
Nevertheless, his descriptions of the religions and his interpretations, though sometimes complex, are provocative. Carroll highlights several vital turning points in the history of Jerusalem. The most important came in the year AD 70 when the Romans, in a bloody suppression of the Jews, destroyed the city and the temple that had become a venerated place of prayer and animal sacrifice. The temple, according to Carroll, "was the place where God lived … where the most sublime experience of their individual and communal lives occurred."
For the Jews in exile, Carroll explains, the loss of the temple turned them toward a deepening contemplation of the teachings of the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. Although Jews would say "Next Year in Jerusalem" in their rituals, the city became more and more distant. Jews believed they would return to Jerusalem "at the end of time" when God's Messiah would come for them. In the meantime, they would find God in their study.
The early followers of Jesus had also worshiped in the temple. Its destruction, which came at about the same time that some of the Gospels were being written and Christianity was emerging as a religion, forced them as well to seek a substitute. Their solution was the deification of Jesus. In line with this, the Christians blamed the Jewish rabbis for the destruction. The Christians insisted, according to Carroll, "that it was precisely their [the rabbis'] refusal to acknowledge Jesus that caused God to wreak judgment on Jerusalem."
This belief went a step further. "Defining itself as a religion of love, over… Judaism as a religion of law," Carroll writes, "Christianity prepared for an ultimate betrayal of love." The early Christians unjustly blamed the Jews rather than the Romans for the crucifixion of Jesus. This mischaracterization of recent history brought on two millenniums of anti-Semitism.
A second turning point came in AD 638, six years after the death of the prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam. The caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second successor to Muhammad, captured Jerusalem from the Christians that year. Although Muslims believed that Gabriel had led Muhammad to heaven from the stone on which the temple once stood, Jerusalem did not occupy the most exalted place in Islamic cosmology. Mecca, where Muhammad was born, was the holiest city of Islam, and Baghdad, Damascus and Cordoba soon became larger and more developed cities than Jerusalem.
Islamic rule of Jerusalem eventually led to a feverish desire among European Christians to rid the holy city of its infidels. This fever set off centuries of bloody crusades, and the crusaders marched into the Middle East with utter contempt for the Muslims, even though the Islamic cities there and in North Africa and southern Spain were far more populous, learned, artistic and sophisticated than any Christian city in Europe. Except for part of the 12th century when the Knights Templar held Jerusalem, the city remained in Muslim hands until 1917, another turning point.
Jerusalem, like most of the Middle East, was under the rule of the Ottoman Turkish empire when British forces occupied it in 1917 during World War I. Turkey, which had chosen the wrong side, lost its empire after the war, and Palestine became a British mandate of the League of Nations. This eventually led to the creation of the state of Israel after World War II.
Carroll provides some colorful description of the Zionist movement that arose at the turn of the 20th century. Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, was less concerned about a sentimental return to the Holy Land than in finding a refuge for Jews from the pogroms of Russia and the anti-Semitism elsewhere in Europe. When the British offered Herzl land in Uganda in East Africa, he did not reject it at once but relayed the proposal to the Zionist Congress. Some Zionists liked the idea. After all, according to their religion, Jews had plenty of time to await the Messiah and return to Jerusalem then. "For now," Carroll writes, "the homeland could be anywhere Torah was studied."
In the end, sentiment prevailed, and the Zionist congress rejected Uganda in favor of a return to the biblical homeland. Yet, according to Carroll, the Zionists did not envision themselves just returning to their holy city of Jerusalem but, instead, saw themselves returning to the land of Israel as a whole. Jewish settlers did not flock to Jerusalem but, instead, made Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast their major metropolis.
The book brims with splendid insights. Carroll, for example, describes how the Puritans looked on America and the New World as their new Jerusalem, a fact that explains why so many towns in the United States are named Jerusalem, New Jerusalem, Zion or Salem (short for Jerusalem).

Jolt Productivity Award: Mining the Social Web: Analyzing Data from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Other Social Media Sites, by Matthew A. Russell
There is a new gold rush happening today. The gold is not the a mineral, rather it is data data we can mine and turn into valuable information. Instead of digging into the earth or panning rivers, we need to mine the Web, specifically the Social Web. If you are planning to find fame and fortune from this gold rush, make sure to pack Matthew Russell's Mining the Social Web in your toolkit.
The Social Web has a wealth of data waiting to be discovered, analyzed, and turned into valuable information. Huge companies, such as Google and Facebook, depend upon this information in order to remain profitable. But you don't have to be a big company in order to mine it. Russell gives you everything you need to dig in and get started.
Mining the Social Web serves up 10 bite-sized chapters that will take you from tenderfoot to a knowledgeable social Web hacker. Spend an hour working through the first chapter and you'll be hooked. Russell takes you through the steps necessary to analyze the latest trends on Twitter, see who's tweeting about the trends, organize the data, and visualize it with tools such as Graphviz.
While Russell shows you exactly how to perform each step, and provides plenty of ideas for you to try, he also encourages you to explore on your own. His style reminds one of a great teacher. He poses a problem, shows you how to solve that problem, and then expands on it and challenges you to reinforce your learning by going further on your own.
In order to take advantage of this book, you must understand Python. All of the examples are written in Python and many external modules are used. Russell makes it as easy as possible for you to understand what is happening, even if you aren't Python-fluent, but this only goes so far. If you really want to get the most out of this book, you should have a working knowledge of the Python language.
Don't read this book when you have no Internet connection. This book reads better in electronic form than the printed page, and makes liberal use of hyperlinks to reference information. In the preface, Russell says that he does this in order for the reader to look at reliable, current information rather than out-of-date material. Without the links, material would need to be included directly in the text, making the book larger and less direct.
Once Russell sets the hook with Twitter hacking in the first chapter, he reels you in with a series of fascinating chapters beginning with capturing information using micro-formats (such as geo, XFN, and others). He shows you how to build graphs that express relationships between pages including microformat notation. While the book is not a tutorial on analytics, it contains plenty of examples of data analysis techniques with reference for more. It also shows you how to use many other tools for massaging data and extracting informational nuggets.
a significant portion of the book is devoted to different sources of data that is ready to be mined. These include mail messages, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, Google Buzz, and Facebook. The Google Buzz chapter indicates how quickly things change (today, that chapter would focus on Google+).
The final short chapter discusses the Semantic Web. There isn't much code, simply because the Semantic Web vision has yet to materialize. What is clear, however, is that Mining the Social Web can position you to take advantage of the Semantic Web when it arrives.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from this recipe, but it really turned out great! My husband insisted that this be made part of the regular rotation. I am happy to oblige, since it was so easy and delicious!
Chicken Fried Rice with Bok Choy
Source: Slightly adapted from Everyday Food, December 2008
Serves 4
(This recipe followed another recipe in the magazine, which had instructions for cooking the rice and chicken. I have amended the chicken cooking instructions.)
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 pound
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pound bok choy, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spray lightly with olive oil. Place chicken breasts on foil, spray lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake about 30 minutes, or until no longer pink on the inside (inside temperature of 165 degrees F). Set aside to cook, then chop into cubes. This step can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add eggs; season with salt and pepper, and cook while stirring to break it up into pieces, until set, 1 to 3 minutes. Set cooked eggs aside (reserve skillet).
3. In skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add bok choy, onion, and garlic; season with salt and pepper (skillet will be very full). Cook, stirring frequently, until bok choy is crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
4. Add rice, chicken, eggs, ginger, vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook, tossing, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Oil and gas companies spent at least $154 million on lobbying last year, potentially besting a field of rivals battling to shape climate and energy policies and setting a new record for the industry.
Influence efforts by the oil and gas sector grew at least 16 percent in 2009 from the $132 million spent in 2008, according to an early analysis of new lobbying disclosures by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. The total reflects spending for the first nine months of 2009 plus 80 percent of reports filed for the past three months.
The electric utility industry, meanwhile, spent at least $134.7 million on lobbying last year. Combined, the two traditional energy sectors paid out nearly 10 times the $29 million that alternative energy companies allocated for lobbying efforts. Environmental organizations spent at least $21.3 million last year on lobbying.
"When a business's livelihood is at stake, they'll put a lot of money down on the table to influence the policies that will affect it," said Sam Thernstrom, fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who worked at President George W. Bush's White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Although President Obama in his State of the Union address criticized what he called "the outsized influence of lobbyists," Thernstrom said, "the policy proposals he puts forward are the kind of policy proposals that attract lobbyists."
The oil and gas industry lobbied on a number of issues other than climate legislation including taxes, health care and spending bills. It is not possible to know how much of the $154 million total went toward climate policy efforts. The total also includes some of money paid for political advertising. Oil companies, including Exxon Mobil Corp., report those costs in lobbying totals, but other large petroleum companies like Chevron do not include advertising costs in lobbying reports.
The spending came during a year that saw climate legislation stall in the Senate after passage in the House. The oil and gas industry condemned the House bill as one that would drive up energy costs and kill jobs. Portions of the electric utility industry supported climate legislation but had concerns with the House bill. The two sectors worked for changes in the Senate. Alternative energy companies and environmental groups largely wanted passage in the Senate, while also lobbying for new policies like a national mandate that utilities generate a portion of their power from renewable sources.
As 2010 starts, oil and gas companies are pushing for new access to offshore drilling, welcoming Obama's State of the Union comment. Utility companies are debating whether to back an energy bill that would cap carbon emissions just for the power sector, instead of an economywide mandate. And all sectors want help in any jobs bill Congress puts forward.
Both industries described their lobbying in 2009 as focused on sharing information with lawmakers.
"We had a lot of work to do trying to educate people on these issues and contribute to a more fact-based discussion," said Bill Bush, spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, the trade group for oil and gas companies.
"We hope we were successful," Bush added. "Others are contributing other perspectives. In the end, Congress is going to make its own judgments for its own reasons."
Power companies are pleased with playing "a constructive role in the still-evolving climate change debate, and especially by our role in helping forge a consensus" that carbon pollution permits in the main House and Senate bills "should be allocated to utilities for the direct benefit of their customers, rather than being auctioned," said Jim Owen, spokesman for the trade group Edison Electric Institute.
One government watchdog, however, said that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on lobbying bought concessions for the oil and gas industry in particular.
"They're not looking at a new climate law that they didn't want," said Tyson Slocum, Public Citizen's Energy Program director. "They've now got a consensus approach with John Kerry and Barack Obama beating the drums out there saying we've got to drill for more oil. That's a pretty remarkable situation."
Obama in his State of the Union address said that "we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. ... It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development."
"They're in a far better position in February 2010 than they were in February 2009," Slocum said of oil and gas companies. "They have the ability to move the issue better than they did a year ago."
One lobbyist with a pro-climate legislation business said portions of the traditional power sector attacked the proposed cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions with a strategy of tying it to jobs and the health of the overall economy.
"And it worked," said the lobbyist, who asked not to be identified to speak more openly.
But Sarah Binder, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank, questioned how much lawmakers act in response to lobbyists. Interest groups on both sides tend to lobby their political allies, Binder said.
"My assumption is that more spending [by environmental groups] would not have produced a bill out of the Senate," Binder said.
If you got rid of all lobbyists, Thernstrom said, the central arguments about climate legislation probably would not change.
Spending leaders
Spending totals for each of the oil and gas and utility sectors, which are expected to grow when 100 percent of the fourth quarter reports are computed, still are less than the previous record for the energy sector.
Electric utilities in 2008 paid out $161.3 million for influence efforts. But the $154 million spent by the oil and gas industry is the most it has spent annually, according to Center for Responsive Politics records that date back to 1996.
Exxon Mobil topped the oil and gas industry's spending with at least $6.7 million in lobbying expenditures.
"ExxonMobil's lobbying efforts reflect the company's size and the number of high-profile issues we are currently addressing and monitoring," spokeswoman Cynthia Bergman White wrote in an e-mail. She declined to comment further.
Chevron spent at least $5.3 million on lobbying.
"Through our lobbying efforts, we work to help shape an effective and responsible U.S. energy policy," Chevron spokesman Morgan Crinklaw wrote in an e-mail. "We do so by providing perspectives to the administration and Congress on a broad range of energy-related and international issues.
"We continue to make recommendations to policy makers on a number of matters regarding the economy, climate change, energy security, international issues, education, research and development," Crinklaw said.
Spending in the alternative power sector, while still small compared with traditional energy, grew at least 31 percent from 2008's $22.1 million level.
"Their future is if not entirely, substantially dependent on policy decisions here in Washington," Thernstrom said. "I would be surprised if you didn't see it climb every year."
Even if oil and gas companies and utilities did not have lobbyists, Thernstrom said, the industries' arguments would get a receptive ear in Congress because so many consumers use their products. There are not as many people, he said, calling to complain about the high cost of solar energy.
Although the alternative arena is growing, Solcum said, "the big voices are still the same old ones, the utilities, the petroleum guys. Those are still the big lobbying voices to contend with when it comes to climate policy."
Leaders in the green power industry included the American Wind Energy Association, which spent $516,620 on lobbying in the fourth quarter. The association primarily lobbied for passage of a national renewable electricity standard, that national mandate that utilities generate some green power. That has not yet passed. The wind trade group also advocated for expansion of some programs in the stimulus act, said Christine Real de Azua, American Wind Energy Association spokeswoman.
"A stable market for wind power would enable U.S. manufacturers to expand their U.S. operations and to seize the historic opportunity we have today to build up a thriving renewable energy industry," de Azua said.
Clean Energy Group, a coalition of electric generating companies that want action on climate policy, spent at least $461,250 on lobbying. Members of the coalition include Pacific Gas & Electric Corp., Calpine Corp., Entergy Corp., Exelon Corp., Florida Power & Light Co. and Sempra Energy.
The group lobbied for progress on climate legislation in the Senate, said Michael Bradley, Clean Energy Group executive director.
When it became clear votes for the bill from Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) were not there, Clean Energy Group worked to see "if there were some softer alternatives," like a bill that had more cost-control mechanisms, Bradley said.
"Obviously we were outspent," Bradley said. "It's very difficult to compete on an advertising communications level."
He added, "We feel like we have sound positions that we can communicate."
As 2010 starts, Bradley said, "We're trying to figure out where things are and what we need to do." He added, "I'm not tremendously optimistic. I'm hoping for that breakthrough that's going to be needed."
The Solar Energy Industries Association spent at least $391,000 on lobbying last year.
The solar trade group worked to push money from the stimulus bill forward so that solar projects could start construction this year, which was necessary in order to qualify for the funds, said spokeswoman Monique Hanis. Solar lobbyists talked to lawmakers about the jobs bill that is expected this year. Hanis declined to comment on the politics of climate legislation not moving forward in the Senate.
Green lobbying
Spending in the environmental group sector grew at least 16 percent from $18.3 million paid for lobbying in 2008.
Pete Altman, a climate campaign director at Natural Resources Defense Council, said green groups had challenges in taking on the lobbying efforts of some in the traditional energy sector who were opposed to aspects of climate legislation.
"We absolutely can compete in the quality of the ideas and the thoughtfulness of the policy," Altman said. "But it's a lot harder to get the thoughtful policy across when you've got oil and coal interests spending ten times what environmental interests did to communicate their perspective.
"It just means they keep showing up in [congressional] offices more, throwing information at lawmakers," Altman added. "It is harder to break through."
The strategy for 2010, Altman said, is "keep at it and work harder and work smarter."
"I don't look at it that something killed the climate bill, we just haven't passed it yet," Altman said.
Climate legislation failed to move forward, Slocum said, in part because the public never got behind the bill despite polls showing that a majority of Americans want action on climate. The House bill was a "corporate giveaway," he said, designed to have votes for passage "versus what Obama campaigned on, polluters pay, 100 percent auction, and you get a check every month." The Senate bill largely was based on the House measure.
"This legislation failed to inspire everybody," Slocum said. "That's because Washington listened to the special interest lobbyists.
"The lobbying money that's flowing in from these industries," he added, "is shaping this legislation."

The case, which focuses on the county's mandatory garbage collection ordinance and corresponding franchise fee, began in 2005.
On July 9, CCHCG attorney William Sturm issued a press release stating the group filed an appeal with the Kentucky Court of Appeals to review the March 16 decision by Henry County Circuit Court Judge Karen Conrad, who ruled in favor of the county.
