Lease a car in Europe instead of renting and save big money. Minimum 17 days is the only downside, but everything else looks awesome: comprehensive zero deductible insurance, unlimited mileage, and a fresh factory new car exactly to your specifications. For less money than renting.
But I Could Have Been Stabbed By A Trombone
Occasionally there are shooting deaths at these second line parades and its nice to know there are 20 cops left in New Orleans but still...the incident raises interesting questions about the balance between maintaining order and the need to nurture a culture which partly defines the city.
Still others say the incident is a sign of a greater attack on the cultural history of the old city neighborhood by well-heeled newcomers attracted to Treme by the very history they seem to threaten.

New Yorker: Hersh on the administrations plans for Iran.
Jay Parkinson MD:
I am a new kind of physician. I strictly make house calls either at your home or work. Once you become my patient and I've personally met you, we can also e-visit by video chat, IM and email for certain problems and follow-ups. I'm based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. My fees are very reasonable...Same day or next day appointments; 2 home or work visits per year; unlimited e-visits: $500/year.
I specialize in young adults age 18 to 40 without traditional health insurance. When you need more than I provide, i make sure you wisely spend your money and pay the lowest price for the highest quality....
I mix the service of an old-time, small town doctor with the latest technology to keep you and your bank account healthy.

Last week in Sehwan, a town in central Sindh, half a million Sufi pilgrams......They are followers, like most Pakistani , of the heterodox Barelvi school of Sunni Islam. And so they whirled, chantd prayers, blew kisses, and smoked massive quantities of dope.....We are so anti-Taliban, claimed Ahmed Bhutto, in a room thick with insence and rose petels. We stand for love, tolerance and the great infinity.....(the economist 9/16)

Motorola Creates WiMax Chipset for Mobile Phones. Says it is more power efficient than current 3G chipsets, and will work with Sprints forthcoming XOHM WiMax network which will start to roll out in test markets by the end of 2007, with much more coverage slated for spring 2008. In short, WiMax means fast data on your mobile phone/computer.
This seems like a much faster time frame than I was expecting for WiMax (I was thinking 2009-2010.) You have any opinions on this Mark?

Light on the science physics article about the confirmation of parallel universes:
Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".
The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.
In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe....
...Commenting in New Scientist magazine, Dr Andy Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California at Davis, said: "This work will go down as one of the most important developments in the history of science."

was overfed and over indulged by the new manager at gemma last night, the new restaurant at the bowery hotel. would have been a pleasant meal were it not for my bloated obnoxious boothmate. oh wait, that was me. very nice space. thought the food was good but not spectacular. and the service was helpful although slightly clueless. timeout was supremely unimpressed. im probably a little bit easier to please. the remnants of the nutella calzone will go well with the coffee ive left steeping in the french press for 20 minutes.
