Disunion
One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Americans went to war with themselves. Disunion revisits and reconsiders America's most perilous period -- using contemporary accounts, diaries, images and historical assessments to follow the Civil War as it unfolded.

Egypt cuts itself (almost completely) off from the internet. Shuts down text messaging. Muslim Brotherhood set to join Friday protests. ElBaradei is back in the country from Vienna and says he will lead if called upon to do so.

Obama is doing a Q&A this afternoon sponsored by Google where the questions are all youtube videos submitted and voted on by anyone. As with a similar change.org Q&A that took place in 2009, the top question is about drug legalization. Obama sort of brushed that one off before, saying, "I don't know what this says about the online audience..." However, this time around, all 20 of the top 20 questions are about drugs. D'oh. I'm guessing this will be the last non big media mediated Q&A any President will ever do.
Q&A at 2:30 EST on youtube

bittman and the minimalist changes at hand
There is a great cheese shop on avenue C! It's called Barnyard. I guess it is owned my a woman who also owns the wine shop right around the corner, Brixon 9th st btwn B & C. If you pick out cheese, you can then go into the wineshop and she will help you pair wine with it. Avenue C has so many empty storefronts all over the place but I could imagine it filling up with a bunch of fancy places.
There is a new Austrian restaurant on C between 6th and 7th. Edi and the Wolf. Haven't been yet but looking forward to trying it at some point.
