Seth Warshaw, is the owner and executive chef of etc steakhouse (1409 Palisade Avenue; Teaneck, NJ 07666; Telephone: 201.357.5677). The De Gustibus School at Macy's featured him as one of the top chefs in their The Fine Art of Kosher Cooking series.
Last week, Wednesday, I found my way to his establishment. It was a very pleasant, delicious experience and more than amply confirmed Salvatore Rizzo's (De Gustibus' owner) high assessment of Chef Seth.
The walls are painted red, otherwise the decor is rather spartan. The dishes I tasted showed tremendous creativity, a rare understanding of the riches of flavor and very nice presentation.
I started with their Pomegranate Rolled Rib Eye..
It came accompanied with a pomegranate and Satsuma clementine salad in a grapefruit reduction. The aged rib eye was very tender and juicy. The flavors were a superb blend of meat and subtle fruit juices. Succulent!
I followed with Sweetbreads with Glazed Rutabaga.
It consisted of superbly prepared sweetbreads with a delicate lima bean puree and glazed rutabaga with a balsamic reduction. I then moved on to the Pomegranate Hangar Steak.
Because of the rules of kashrus (where meats must be salted for an hour – to extract the blood – after soaking in water for 30 minutes), in spite of all the rinsing, the meat ultimately absorbs some salt. As a result hangar steaks are very salty. Chef Seth, however, has found a unique way of enhancing the steak's flavor without one noticing the salt. The result is a very juicy, tender, steak; yet another tribute to the Chef's creativity and knowledge of the blending of flavors. The steak came with a sweet potato mash, haricot verts, caramelized onion rings in a pomegranate reduction.
I topped off the meal with a House Made Zeppole Trio with vanilla ice cream. Each zeppole was covered with a different sprinkling. One had a combination of fine cinnamon and confectioner's sugar, another a sprinkling of coconut and the third had cocoa powder. Fried Italian pastries, they were sweet and indescribably delicious. What a great way to crown a superb meal!

Trade names: Toposar®, VePesid®, Etopophos®
Other name: VP-16, Etoposide phosphate
Chemocare.com uses generic names in all descriptions of drugs. VP-16 is the trade
name for etoposide. VePesid and etopophos and toposar or etoposide phosphate are
other names for etoposide. In some cases, health care professionals may use the
trade name VP-16 or other names VePesid or etopophos or toposar or etoposide phosphate
when referring to the generic drug name etoposide.
Drug type: Etoposide is an anti-cancer ("antineoplastic"
or "cytotoxic") chemotherapy drug. This medication is classified as a "plant
alkaloid" and "topoisomerase II inhibitor." (For more detail, see "How this
drug works" section below).
Note: If a drug has been approved for one use, physicians
may elect to use this same drug for other problems if they believe it may be helpful.
Important things to remember about the side effects of etoposide:
The following side effects are common (occurring in greater than 30%)
for patients taking etoposide:
Nadir: Meaning low point, nadir is the point in time between chemotherapy
cycles in which you experience low blood counts.
Onset: 5-7 days
Nadir: 7-14 days
Recovery: 21-28 days
Nadir: Meaning low point, nadir is the point in time between chemotherapy
cycles in which you experience low blood counts.
Onset: 5-7 days
Nadir: 7-14 days
Recovery: 21-28 days
These side effects are less common, meaning they occur in 10-29 percent
of patients receiving etoposide:

Delayed effects:
Not all side effects are listed above, some that are rare (occurring in less than
10% of patients) are not listed here. However, you should always inform your
health care provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.
Contact your health care provider immediately, day or night, if you
should experience any of the following symptoms:
The following symptoms require medical attention, but are not an emergency.
Contact your health care provider within 24 hours of noticing any of the
Always inform your health care provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.
You will be checked regularly by your health care professional while you
are taking etoposide, to monitor side effects and check your response to therapy.
Periodic blood work to monitor your complete blood count (CBC) as well as the function
of other organs (such as your kidneys and liver) will also be ordered by your doctor.
Cancerous tumors are characterized by cell division, which is no longer controlled
as it is in normal tissue. "Normal" cells stop dividing when they come
into contact with like cells, a mechanism known as contact inhibition. Cancerous
cells lose this ability. Cancer cells no longer have the normal checks and
balances in place that control and limit cell division. The process of cell
division, whether normal or cancerous cells, is through the cell cycle. The
cell cycle goes from the resting phase, through active growing phases, and then
to mitosis (division).
The ability of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells depends on its ability to halt
cell division. Usually, the drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA that tells
the cell how to copy itself in division. If the cells are unable to divide,
they die. The faster the cells are dividing, the more likely it is that chemotherapy
will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce cell suicide
(self-death or apoptosis).
Chemotherapy drugs that affect cells only when they are dividing are called cell-cycle
specific. Chemotherapy drugs that affect cells when they are at rest are called
cell-cycle non-specific. The scheduling of chemotherapy is set based on the
type of cells, rate at which they divide, and the time at which a given drug is
likely to be effective. This is why chemotherapy is typically given in cycles.
Chemotherapy is most effective at killing cells that are rapidly dividing.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy does not know the difference between the cancerous cells
and the normal cells. The "normal" cells will grow back and be healthy but in the
meantime, side effects occur. The "normal" cells most commonly affected by
chemotherapy are the blood cells, the cells in the mouth, stomach and bowel, and
the hair follicles; resulting in low blood counts, mouth sores, nausea, diarrhea,
and/or hair loss. Different drugs may affect different parts of the body.
Etoposide belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called plant alkaloids.
Plant alkaloids are made from plants. The vinca alkaloids are made from the
periwinkle plant (catharanthus rosea). The taxanes are made from the bark of the
Pacific Yew tree (taxus). The vinca alkaloids and taxanes are also known as
antimicrotubule agents. The podophyllotoxins are derived from the May apple plant.
Camptothecan analogs are derived from the Asian "Happy Tree" (Camptotheca acuminata).
Podophyllotoxins and camptothecan analogs are also known as topoisomerase inhibitors.
The plant alkaloids are cell-cycle specific. This means they attack the cells
during various phases of division.
Topoisomerase inhibitors (such as etoposide) are drugs that interfere with the action
of topoisomerase enzymes (topoisomerase I and II). Topoisomerase enzymes control
the manipulation of the structure of DNA necessary for replication.

Book tracks insurgence that propelled Reagan
"The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan" (Simon & Schuster), by Rick Perlstein
Even Republicans piled on President Richard Nixon as the Watergate scandal wore on. But not California Gov. Ronald Reagan. He said Watergate was being "blown out of proportion" and was "none of my business." Rick Perlstein writes that incredulous reporters thought Reagan was acting like a "genial ostrich" ignoring the looming reckoning for American government.
Ostrich or no, Reagan's point of view resonated with people — or at least some people. "There were two tribes in America now," Perlstein writes early in the book. And Reagan spoke powerfully to one of those tribes: the ones who were organizing around grievances like forced busing, the ones who had the sense that the orderly America they loved was receding.
"The Invisible Bridge" is the story of "the right-wing insurgency bubbling barely beneath the surface" through the mid '70s. And it's the story of the national rise of the politician who benefited the most from that insurgency.
Perlstein wrote about Sen. Barry Goldwater and the rise of modern American conservatism in "Before the Storm" and continued his political and cultural history with "Nixonland." This third book ends with Reagan's narrow loss to President Gerald Ford at the 1976 Republican convention, which served as a marker to how far the conservative movement had come in a generation.
To call this book rich in anecdotes is an understatement. Perlstein adopts a you-are-there narrative that gives the reader a sense of what average Americans took in during the turbulent period from Watergate to the 1976 elections.
Readers learn about Nixon and Reagan, sure, but also about the only-in-the-'70s phenomena like EST workshops, in which people paid $250 to have insults screamed at them. The account of John Dean's televised Watergate testimony includes both blow-by-blow details and a snippet from the commercial aired during the hearing for Final Net ("So you finally got little Jamie married!").
Reagan fans looking for a heroic tale will be disappointed. Perlstein's default mode is irreverence, and his Reagan is a storyteller who does not let the messy complexity of reality get in the way of simple answer
s. He calls the future president an "athlete of denial." Democrat Jimmy Carter fares no better here. Perlstein portrays him as an opportunistic candidate happy to tell people what they want to hear.
At more than 800 pages, the narrative bogs down during the Watergate hearings and in some other places. But the mini-biography of Reagan nestled in the pages is a page turner, as is Perlstein's climactic account of the nail-biter presidential nominating convention in 1976. Ford won the nomination but Reagan won the hearts of many Republicans who wondered if they had just launched the wrong candidate into the general election.
Even Reagan couldn't please everyone, though.
Perlstein writes that Goldwater, Mr. Conservative himself, complained that Reagan had become "one of those people, the really ideological ones who won't change."

If you want to make programs go faster on parallel hardware, then you need some kind of concurrency. Right?
In this article I'd like to explain why the above statement is false, and why we should be very clear about the distinction between concurrency and parallelism. I should stress that these ideas are not mine, and are by no means new, but I think it's important that this issue is well understood if we're to find a way to enable everyday programmers to use multicore CPUs. I was moved to write about this after reading Tim Bray's articles on Concur.next: while I agree with a lot of what's said there, particularly statements like
Exposing real pre-emptive threading with shared mutable data structures to application programmers is wrong
it seems that parallelism and concurrency are still being conflated. Yes we need concurrency in our languages, but if all we want to do is make programs run faster on a multicore, concurrency should be a last resort.
First, I'll try to establish the terminology.
A concurrent program is one with multiple threads of control. Each thread of control has effects on the world, and those threads are interleaved in some arbitrary way by the scheduler. We say that a concurrent programming language is non-deterministic, because the total effect of the program may depend on the particular interleaving at runtime. The programmer has the tricky task of controlling this non-determinism using synchronisation, to make sure that the program ends up doing what it was supposed to do regardless of the scheduling order. And that's no mean feat, because there's no reasonable way to test that you have covered all the cases. This is regardless of what synchronisation technology you're using: yes, STM is better than locks, and message passing has its advantages, but all of these are just ways to communicate between threads in a non-deterministic language.
A parallel program, on the other hand, is one that merely runs on multiple processors, with the goal of hopefully running faster than it would on a single CPU.
So where did this dangerous assumption that Parallelism == Concurrency come from? It's a natural consequence of languages with side-effects: when your language has side-effects everywhere, then any time you try to do more than one thing at a time you essentially have non-determinism caused by the interleaving of the effects from each operation. So in side-effecty languages, the only way to get parallelism is concurrency; it's therefore not surprising that we often see the two conflated.
However, in a side-effect-free language, you are free to run different parts of the program at the same time without observing any difference in the result. This is one reason that our salvation lies in programming languages with controlled side-effects. The way forward for those side-effecty languages is to start being more explicit about the effects, so that the effect-free parts can be identified and exploited.
It pains me to see Haskell's concurrency compared against the concurrency support in other languages, when the goal is simply to make use of multicore CPUs (Edit: Ted followed up with a clarification). It's missing the point: yes of course Haskell has the best concurrency support :-), but for this problem domain it has something even better: deterministic parallelism. In Haskell you can use multicore CPUs without getting your hands dirty with concurrency and non-determinism, without having to get the synchronisation right, and with a guarantee that the parallel program gives the same answer every time, just more quickly.
There are two facets to Haskell's determinstic parallelism support:
- par/pseq and Strategies. These give you a way to add parallelism to an existing program, usually without requiring much restructuring. For instance, there's a parallel version of 'map'. Support for this kind of parallelism is maturing with the soon to be released GHC 6.12.1, where we made some significant performance improvements over previous versions.
- Nested Data Parallelism. This is for taking advantage of parallelism in algorithms that are best expressed by composing operations on (possibly nested) arrays. The compiler takes care of flattening the array structure, fusing array operations, and dividing the work amongst the available CPUs. Data-Parallel Haskell will let us take advantage of GPUs and many-core machines for large-scale data-parallelism in the future. Right now, DPH support in GHC is experimental, but work on it continues.
That's not to say that concurrency doesn't have its place. So when should you use concurrency? Concurrency is most useful as a method for structuring a program that needs to communicate with multiple external clients simultaneously, or respond to multiple asynchronous inputs. It's perfect for a GUI that needs to respond to user input while talking to a database and updating the display at the same time, for a network application that talks to multiple clients simultaneously, or a program that communicates with multiple hardware devices, for example. Concurrency lets you structure the program as if each individual communication is a sequential task, or a thread, and in these kinds of settings it's often the ideal abstraction. STM is vitally important for making this kind of programming more tractable.
As luck would have it, we can run concurrent programs in parallel without changing their semantics. However, concurrent programs are often not compute-bound, so there's not a great deal to be gained by actually running them in parallel, except perhaps for lower latency.
Having said all this, there is some overlap between concurrency and parallelism. Some algorithms use multiple threads for parallelism deliberately; for example, search-type problems in which multiple threads search branches of a problem space, where knowledge gained in one branch may be exploited in other concurrent searches. SAT-solvers and game-playing algorithms are good examples. An open problem is how to incorporate this kind of non-deterministic parallelism in a safe way: in Haskell these algorithms would end up in the IO monad, despite the fact that the result could be deterministic. Still, I believe these kinds of problems are in the minority, and we can get a long way with purely deterministic parallelism.
You'll be glad to know that with GHC you can freely mix parallelism and concurrency on multicore CPUs to your heart's content. Knock yourself out 🙂

The reelection of Barack Obama was won by people, not by software. But in a contest as close as last week's election, software may have given the Obama for America organization's people a tiny edge—making them by some measures more efficient, better connected, and more engaged than the competition.
That edge was provided by the work of a group of people unique in the history of presidential politics: Team Tech, a dedicated internal team of technology professionals who operated like an Internet startup, leveraging a combination of open source software, Web services, and cloud computing power. The result was the sort of numbers any startup would consider a success. As Scott VanDenPlas, the head of the Obama technology team's DevOps group, put it in a tweet:
4Gb/s, 10k requests per second, 2,000 nodes, 3 datacenters, 180TB and 8.5 billion requests. Design, deploy, dismantle in 583 days to elect the President. #madops
But the tech had not always worked so well. Four years ago, the Obama camp was in much the same position as Romney found himself in 2012, coming out of the primaries with only a short amount of time in which to pull together a national campaign. Despite having some people with tech expertise, the 2008 Obama campaign lacked an internal IT team, relying on vendors and field volunteers to pull much of the weight.
"One of the biggest problems in the last campaign was that you had all these people who are out in the field who are volunteering who start building their own versions of these rogue tools to do the same thing over and over again," said Clint Ecker, senior engineer for Obama for America (and an Ars Technica alum). Every field office assembled its own patchwork of tools using spreadsheets or a hacked Web application to track operations. They communicated over Google groups or simple e-mail lists. "It made it hard to keep everyone on the same page," he added.
Then there was the much-vaunted secret weapon, Project Houdini—a get-out-the-vote system that was supposed to revolutionize the Election Day ground game. Each voter in each swing-state voting precinct was assigned a numeric code; when poll watchers recorded the voters arriving, the watchers were supposed to dial in the code to Houdini's automated hotline. But the load on the hotline brought it down, and the campaign had to fail over either to texting or to calling the codes back into local field offices, where the data was re-entered into a webpage manually.
Houdini's database stayed up, and it still played a role in the Obama campaign's efforts on Election Day 2008. But it was clear that the system hadn't been ready for the wave of data it was supposed to handle. "2008 was the 'Jaws' moment," said Obama for America's Chief Technology Officer Harper Reed. "It was, 'Oh my God, we're going to need a bigger boat."
So they began to build one.
The Narwhal
To pull it off, the Obama team relied almost exclusively on Amazon's cloud computing services for computing and storage power. At its peak, the IT infrastructure for the Obama campaign took up "a significant amount of resources in AWS's Northern Virginia data center," said Ecker. "We actually had to start using beefier servers, because for a period of time we were buying up most of the available smaller Elastic Compute Cloud instance types in the East data center."
"Reed wanted to wire the campaign with its own application programming interface."
Atop Amazon's services, the Obama team built Narwhal—a set of services that acted as an interface to a single shared data store for all of the campaign's applications, making it possible to quickly develop new applications and to integrate existing ones into the campaign's system. Those apps include sophisticated analytics programs like Dreamcatcher, a tool developed to "microtarget" voters based on sentiments within text. And there's Dashboard, the "virtual field office" application that helped volunteers communicate and collaborate.
"Being able to decouple all the apps from each other [by using Narwhal] has such power," Harper Reed, the chief technology officer for the Obama campaign, told Ars. "It allowed us to scale each app individually and to share a lot of data between the apps, and it really saved us a lot of time." The resulting platform gave Obama for America tools that helped "force-multiply" volunteers, giving them organizational and communication tools that made the Obama "ground game" even more effective.
When Reed was brought onboard by Obama campaign Chief Integration and Innovation Officer Michael Slaby in June 2011, the choices Reed made were informed by the 2008 campaign—but also by the mentality of Internet startups.
"We knew we were going to go big," Reed said. "We needed to architect [the campaign's IT infrastructure] in such a way that it actually worked. And we also knew we were going to be resource-constrained—whether it was money or people, we knew we weren't going to have everything we wanted."
They did have the incumbent's advantage, though: time to prepare. "I don't think we would have been able to [build Narwhal] if we had to deal with the primaries," Reed said.
The architecture Reed envisioned had to scale up rapidly. It needed flexibility, allowing developers with any level of experience who joined the campaign to work in and be productive with whatever language they preferred, and it had to integrate with the systems of vendors (such as Blue State Digital and NGP VAN). It needed to handle the needs of volunteers in the field and in the campaign's "Team Digital" (responsible for the campaign's Web presence, social, and other digital media presence), while also feeding the "big data" machine of Team Data (the campaign's analytics department).
In other words, Reed wanted to wire the campaign with its own application programming interface (API). And, like many Internet startups, he looked to the cloud to make it scale.
"I looked at a lot of architectures," Reed said. "Coming out of [previous employer] Threadless, and having watched what Amazon and other large organizations had done—and how powerful these API platforms have become—it was obvious that the best path forward was to follow services oriented architecture (SOA) principles and build a services architecture that allowed for all of our apps to connect together and share one common data store."
But to build Reed's "bigger boat" meant adopting a startup-like strategy in more ways than just architecture. He needed to build a team within the Obama campaign that behaved like an Internet startup, a dedicated staff of engineers willing to work long hours for a rapid ramp-up to the ultimate payout: reelecting the president.
The team
Reed went out and recruited people who already knew the territory, snapping up both local talent (such as Ecker) and people from out of town with Internet bona fides—veterans from companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TripIt.
"All these guys have had experience working in startups and experience in scaling apps from nothing to huge in really tight situations like we were in the campaign," Ecker said.
"When you put down the constraints you have, it's pretty easy to figure out who you're hiring," Reed added. "You're looking for engineers who understand APIs—engineers that spend a lot of time on the Internet building platforms. When you talk about SOA, they're not just going to laugh at you and say you're talking about Java."
Rather than focusing on creating something significantly new, Reed said, the team focused on taking what they already knew worked and fitting the pieces together.
"We aggressively stood on the shoulders of giants like Amazon, and used technology that was built by other people," he said. "We had a pretty good culture of using not-invented-here technologies. And we weren't scared about it."
In some cases, he added, it was just the opposite—if something came up as a solution and had never been used at that scale by someone else, it was "super scary" and usually avoided. The Democrats were going to play it conservative.
The cloud
The first recruits started rolling in soon after Reed joined, giving the team 583 days to do their work.
"It really became apparent that there needed to be a centralized place for all this data to flow into from all our vendors and for the new applications," Ecker said. "We needed a standard RESTful API that any project could talk to using any programming language and any Web framework, whatever people are most comfortable in so that they can hit the ground running."
"We aggressively stood on the shoulders of giants and used technology that was built by other people."
That meant Narwhal. Written in Python, the API side of Narwhal exposes data elements through standard HTTP requests. While it was designed to work on top of any data store, the Obama tech team relied on Amazon's MySQL-based Relational Database Service (RDS). The "snapshot" capability of RDS allowed images of databases to be dumped into Simple Storage Service (S3) instances without having to run backups.
Even with the rapidly growing sets of shared data, the Obama tech team was able to stick with RDS for the entire campaign—though it required some finesse.
"We definitely bumped up against some limitations with RDS but they were largely self-inflicted," Ecker said. "We were able to work around those and stretch how far we were able to take RDS. If the campaign had been longer, we would have definitely had to migrate to big EC2 boxes with MySQL on them instead." Not having to switch off RDS meant that the Obama campaign saved "a shitload of money" on hiring additional database administrators, Ecker added.
Ecker says the team also tested Amazon's DynamoDB "NoSQL" database when it was introduced. While it didn't replace the SQL-based RDS service as Narwhal's data store, it was pressed into service for some of the other parts of the campaign's infrastructure. In particular, it was used in conjunction with the campaign's social networking "get-out-the-vote" efforts.
The integration element of Narwhal was built largely using programs that run off Amazon's Simple Queue Service (SQS). It pulled in streams of data from NGP VAN's and Blue State Digital's applications, polling data providers, and many more, and handed them off to worker applications—which in turn stuffed the data into SQS queues for processing and conversion from the vendors' APIs. Another element of Narwhal that used SQS was its e-mail infrastructure for applications, using worker applications to process e-mails, storing them in S3 to pass them in bulk from one stage of handling to another.
Initially, Narwhal development was shared across all the engineers. As the team grew near the beginning of 2012, however, Narwhal development was broken into two groups—an API team that developed the interfaces required for the applications being developed in-house by the campaign, and an integration team that handled connecting the data streams from vendors' applications.

If you plan to be in Pittsburgh between Feb. 11 and Oct. 2, check out "America's Best Weekly: A Century of the Pittsburgh Courier," which will be on exhibit at the Heinz History Center. The Courier, where my father worked when I was a young girl in Pittsburgh, is celebrating 100 years of service to the black community. In its heyday, the Courier had 400 employees and its readership spanned the country. The Courier was a strong voice against segregation and particularly lynching. Pullman porters were enlisted to surreptitiously "drop" the papers along their Southern train routes.
"These papers were not welcomed in those states and oftentimes were confiscated and destroyed to keep African-Americans from reading newspapers," Samuel Black, the exhibit's curator, said in a recent interview with CBS Pittsburgh.
Robert Lavelle, an old family friend, who as a young man was responsible for coming up with those delivery routes, was interviewed for The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, a film by award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson. Lavelle said that even though Pittsburgh was a relatively small city, the Courier had a name well beyond its borders "because it had tried to reach out to black people, no matter where they were, and we would try to send papers to those people. And as the people in those places became more numerous in terms of circulation, then those people would get a column in the Courier and maybe even on the front page of the Courier, and pretty soon that place had an edition of the Courier. So the Courier developed 13 editions and we would send papers to these various, regional places like the Midwest edition, the New England edition, the Chicago edition, the Philadelphia edition, and the Southern edition . . . We'd send them down by seaboard airline, Atlantic coastline railroad, down through Florida and all those places."
On a personal note, my cousin Russell Williams recalls a visit his family made to Pittsburgh:
"Back in 1958, as my father finished his Ph.D. at Michigan State, we traveled back to South Carolina (where he taught at SC State), and we stopped in Pittsburgh to see Ebenezer and Mary Ray and their three daughters (Mary was my father's favorite cousin). I remember Ebenezer taking us to the Pittsburgh Courier offices to show us how a newspaper was produced, and I carried home with me a souvenir (a piece of type) from that trip — a very interesting keepsake to my just-turned-seven-years-old
mind. Years later, I came to understand the important role that the Courier played nationally, and was very proud that I had a relative who had contributed to that impact."
As I was four years old at the time and have no recollection of that visit, I was moved by Russell's story.
Well before my father moved to Pittsburgh and joined the Courier, he tipped his hat to the Negro press as well. In 1935, the New York Age celebrated its 50th anniversary.
"For fifty years, The Age has lived; for fifty years it has been an articulate voice of the Negro race; for fifty years it has weathered economic storms; for that period it has outlived its own shortcomings, and the shortcomings of the people it set out to serve," Ebenezer wrote in a column published Nov. 2, 1935. "On the threshold of its new era, it is natural that it pauses to look back on its past on the path it has tread, a path strewn with pitfalls, a path decorated with the glory of achievement; a path nonetheless dotted with journalistic wrecks. Much of the paper's success must be measured in the friends it has made; much of its power can be measured in the enemies it has made. No man can get very far without creating a few enemies here and there. The man whom everyone loves is insincere. The Age's supporters flaunt its greatness; to many it is a beacon [of] light in this — their world of racial darkness."

On Monday, Apple announced that the iPhone 5 topped its previous first weekend sales record of 4 million units set by the iPhone 4S last year. In just three days, Apple moved over 5 million units, the company said, despite some early preorders being delayed until October.
"Demand for iPhone 5 has been incredible and we are working hard to get an iPhone 5 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly and customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date."
The iPhone 5 launched on September 21 in US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK. The device was available to preorder beginning at midnight on September 14, and stock set aside for US preorders sold out in approximately one hour. Apple previously announced that customers had preordered over 2 million iPhone 5s within 24 hours.
Apple noted that the iPhone 5 will launch on Friday, September 28 in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Be sure to look for our in-depth review of the iPhone 5 later today.

This is the resource for bipolar disorder support for Thermopolis. When a loved one or you face bipolar disorder it is quite challenging for all involved. We offer educational support for those in Thermopolis who live with bipolar.
When someone lives with bipolar disorder it means that they have a series of ups and downs. The ups are often called manic episodes. This could be talking fast, spending large amounts of money, gambling, doing risky actions and other behaviors that are not within their normal way of living.
If someone is depressed they may choose to not leave their room, be unwilling to be with others, have extreme fears, not attend school, work or other activities. One of the issues with depression is that without proper treatment there is a risk of hurting themselves.
We believe that finding a local doctor and seeking a diagnosis is the most important step. The doctors are able to explain this often complex disorder. There are many treatments which give those with these issues a better chance to live full and healthy lives. There are many examples of those with bipolar who rebuild their lives.
Our website offers a free daily online magazine that teaches important lessons. These articles are extremely helpful to teach those with bipolar disorder seeking support in Thermopolis how to understand these problems. We also offer many books teaching about these steps. You may also learn about the phone coaching we offer to help those who need help setting daily goals.
You may find our online magazine each day on our main page at http://www.bipolaronline.com. The articles are written by a noted bipolar survivor and expert. He has written many top books about these issues. His teachings have been heard on many media outlets and at organizations. It is so important to learn and educate yourself if you are facing these issues. We appreciate you coming to the bipolar disorder support page for Thermopolis.

Any faithful reader of this blog knows we have never reviewed pizza joints or take out places of any kind; we always confined our reviews to restaurants AND, even then, only to those establishments we could really rave about. So how come, today, I am reviewing a take out place? Why the sudden break from The Kosher Scene's usual practice? Truth be told, I never intended to deviate from our ways, however…
Yesterday afternoon, I passed by Sason Grill and the aroma emanating from the place (I've been blessed, or cursed, with a very strong sense of smell) suddenly made me hungry. It's a tiny place, located on a side street off Brooklyn's Avenue J (1012 East 15th Street; Brooklyn, NY 11230; Tel: 347.307.6647; under the hashgocho of Kehilla Kashrus), off the main street and very easy to miss. It looks extremely unpretentious, hardly enticing, but… don't let appearances fool you!
Their menu includes only four items: Shawarma, Schnitzel, Falafel, and Hamburger. I ordered a Shawarma Sandwich Platter.
It came with two falafel balls, fried potatoes (cut Argentinian style, papas fritas we call them), and grape tomatoes on the plate – and a pickle, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant and tehina with the shawarma inside the pita – as you can see below:
The shawarma, made from fresh baby chicken meat, was very juicy; spiced liberally to give it that Middle Eastern flavor of cumin, etc, it was unusually delicious. I got a selection of the three house sauces: chimichurri, olive and tehina. All three made fresh in-house. The best part about this unexpected feast was, surprisingly, its low cost. Though it certainly lacked the presentation I've become accustomed to, it more than made up for it in flavor. I know I'll be back again and again. Next time, I'll even bring SYR with me.

The 39th International Byron Conference
1-6 July 2013, King's College London, Strand Campus
Call for papers

Individual presentations must not exceed 20 minutes in length. In order to accommodate the maximum number of presentations in the programme, the organisers hope to include one or more 'round-table' discussions around specific themes. Individual contributions to these discussions would typically be of 5-10 minutes. If you would be willing for your proposal to be included in a 'round-table' session, please indicate this when you send it. Ready-formed proposals for such sessions, based on a particular theme, timed to last either 90 or 120 minutes, and including a minimum of 4 speakers, will be particularly welcome.
Please note that you should normally be a current member of a national Byron Society in order to present a paper at the conference. For a list of Byron societies worldwide see www.internationalbyronsociety.org

Energy UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (UK CRC)
Compliance with the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment is easier with SGS emissions verification services. Call us now to find out more.
The UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is a carbon budget scheme introduced to widen current emission trading schemes to include non-energy intensive businesses and public sector organizations with high electricity consumption.
The objective of the CRC is to reduce emissions – the government target is an 80 percent reduction by 2050 (against a 1990 baseline). There is a financial incentive to reduce emissions by pricing carbon and putting a cap on the allowances available.
Our experienced teams help you to comply with the CRC. We can assess your carbon footprint and provide you with the documentation you need for reporting, annual forecasting of emissions, and performance benchmarking. We can also monitor your status under the scheme on a regular basis to ensure continuing compliance.
To ensure you are benefiting from the CRC, other ways we can help include clarifying relevant emissions under the scheme, training for your team and developing a carbon reduction strategy. We can also help companies seeking benefits through the application of early action metrics and combine work around CRS with energy efficiency and ISO16001.
As the global leader in greenhouse gas emissions verification, our climate change services team will be able to help you. Call us today to find out more about monitoring and ensuring your carbon reduction commitment compliance.

Sony is officially the last one to the PMA DSLR party, getting real with the A300 and A350 DSLRs we glimpsed earlier. The entry-level 10.2MP A300 (same CCD sensor as the A200, $800 w/lens) snaps away at "about 3fps," 100-3200 ISO, built-in image stabilization (vs. Nikon and Canon's lens approach) and indeed sports that oddball 2-way tilt screen for live view—good for semi-discretely shooting from your crotch, Chen-style. The A350 has the same features, but packs in 14.2MP (hey Sony, not the highest in its class), fires at 2.5fps in continuous shooting and will run $800 for the body.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 30, 2008 - Sony is bringing live-view shooting to its digital SLR camera line with today's introduction of a 14.2-megapixel (alpha) DSLR-A350 camera and 10.2-megapixel α (alpha) DSLR-A300 model. Both cameras feature new technologies that make picture taking faster, easier, and more familiar for first-time DSLR users.
Quick AF Live View System
They both offer Sony's new "Quick AF Live View" technology so you can frame photos on the camera's LCD without sacrificing auto-focusing speed common to other live-view systems.
Sony's innovative Pentamirror Tilt mechanism directs light to a dedicated live view image sensor, enabling fast and responsive TTL phase-detection auto-focusing, even during live view. Eliminating the focus delay of other systems, the new models are equally responsive whether using live view or optical viewfinder.
With its two sensor design, Quick AF Live View can even continuously focus-track the subject and provide live view during burst shooting, helping you capture that special moment.
Taking further advantage of Quick AF Live View is the models' variable angle 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD ™ screen. This makes it easy to frame scenes from high or low positions difficult to reach when using an eye-level viewfinder.
With Live View and an adjustable LCD, the cameras do not need to be in front of the user's face, allowing parents, for example, to maintain eye-contact when photographing their children.
"Mainstream users stepping up to DSLRs are looking for a similar experience to their point and shoot cameras, but without compromise in speed or performance" said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics. "Quick AF Live View gives these new models a familiar shooting style without compromising speed - ideal for the growing market of first-time SLR users."
Exceptional Image Quality
The new models produce images with fine detail, rich tonality and vibrant color due to their APS-C CCD image sensors and BIONZ® processing engine. To aid shooting in low light, Super SteadyShot® image stabilization enables shutter speeds 2.5 to 3.5 steps slower than otherwise possible, with every compatible Minolta Maxxum® and Sony α (alpha) lens (sold separately) attached to the camera.
High sensitivity operation at ISO 1600 and 3200 and very low noise are made possible by the user-selectable high-ISO noise reduction features. Sony's D-Range Optimizer delivers suitable tonality and exposures with rich shadow and highlight detail, even under high contrast situations.
Powerful Performance, Easy to Use
The DSLR-A300 model can shoot about three continuous frames per second and the DSLR-A350 model can shoot up to two-and-a-half continuous frames per second, when using the optical viewfinder. Both are powered by the Bionz processing engine and supplied InfoLITHIUMTM battery for fast start-up times, quick response and long battery life - up to 730 shots per full charge when using the optical viewfinder and up to 410 shots per full charge in live-view mode.
Both models feature lighter, slimmer bodies for easy handling; an improved user interface; an automatic pop-up flash; a comfortable camera grip with an easily accessible mode dial; an anti-dust system to keep the CCD image sensor clean for spot-free pictures; and JPEG and RAW file format support. Both have a slot for CompactFlash™ Type I/II media cards.
An adaptor for Memory Stick Duo™ media cards is also available for the cameras and sold separately.
The new DSLR-A300 and DSLR-A350 cameras are compatible with a range of accessories, including the ergonomic Sony VG-B30AM vertical grip. Also available as an option is the new Sony HVL-F42AM flash unit. It offers advanced features such as automatic white balance adjustment with color temperature information, adjustable bounce angles, ADI metering and wireless remote operation to suit the needs of most photographers.
Price and Availability
The DSLR-A300 kit with a DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens will ship in April for about $800. The DSLR-A350 camera body will be available in March for about $800, and the DSLR-A350 kit with a DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 3.9x zoom lens will be available for about $900 at the same time. Both models will be available at sonystyle.com, Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), military base exchanges, and authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin online today at www.sonystyle.com/dslr.

Today's News: Our Take - Gary Dourdan Blames CSI for His Bankruptcy
Why did Gary Dourdan file for bankruptcy? It's CSI's fault - at least that's what legal documents in his Chapter 11 case insinuate, TMZ.com reports.
Dourdan initially filed for bankruptcy back in August, stating that he has approximately $1.8 million in assets, but owes a whopping $1.73 million.
CSI's Gary Dourdan files for bankruptcy
In new documents filed this week, Dourdan says he went broke after being killed off the CBS series because of "diminished payments of residuals" from CSI, which caused him to default on his two mortgages.
Dourdan has been involved in multiple legal incidents in recent years. In 2012, an ex-girlfriend sued the actor, accusing him of assault and battery for breaking her nose. Dourdan was also found sleeping in his car in 2008 by the police, which led to his arrest on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy and prescription drugs.

It's still early, but George Washington is separating himself from the pack.
The Nationals racing presidents kicked off the latest homestand with two rain-soaked races Monday and Tuesday at Nationals Park, and apparently George Washington likes his track sloppy.
On Monday night, the presidents raced to the third base side and Washington separated himself early, then danced backwards over the tape in a showboat move. The next day, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt all slipped and fell on the warning track, leaving George with a clear path to the finish line, and a 3 game lead over second place Thomas Jefferson.
The forecast is outstanding for the rest of the homestand, but George's opponents may have some different obstacles to deal with, as the Pirates and Orioles are both expected to bring their mascots along.
