And we need to be fed,'' she said. The former first lady has tried to remain above the fray most of the week after an unusually rancorous debate Monday in which she and Obama traded barbs. She has criticized President Bush on the stump and rarely mentioned her top rival, leaving Bill Clinton to challenge the Illinois senator more directly. But she has gotten in her digs occasionally. Friday's came as she praised Rangel while implicitly criticizing Obama for being overeager. ''He serves as chair of the most important committee in the United States Congress,'' Clinton said of Rangel. ''He didn't get there by leapfrogging. He got there by lots of hard work.'' While she was courting black voters, Bill Clinton was pitching her candidacy to a crowd of about 200 people Friday in Spartanburg.
Coming of age
The throng of Vietnamese family and friends who spent their days around Dorchester Avenue - the Hub's little Little Saigon - sipping green tea or playing chess before they, too, departed. "We want to be buried next to each other," Nguyen says of his community. Precisely where his tomb will lie, Nguyen does not know. He has no burial plot in hand. "No money," Nguyen says in distinct English. But he wants it to be in a place that's as comfortable as a Buddhist flower garden, so that the presiding monk can feel totally at ease when he comes to Nguyen's grave and, abiding by tradition, sets his spirit free with powerful chants. With remains now dispersed among different graveyards, from the city to the suburbs, an informal group representing more than 300 Vietnamese elders like Nguyen is hoping to establish its own central burial ground in Boston, one with a price its members can squeeze into their strained budgets.
Malik has an injury after ‘painful’ defeat
DELHI: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik got an injury scare on Monday soon after his team lost to India in the opening Test when he twisted his ankle during a training session here at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. But a team official told media that it's a minor injury and the all-rounder should be fit in time to make the playing eleven for the second Test getting underway in Kolkata from November 30. Malik twisted his ankle while playing football during a training session that was held soon after the conclusion of the opening Test which India won by six wickets. “Malik twisted his ankle and was taken to a local hospital for an MRI scan," team manager Talat Ali Malik said. “Doctors here have examined his scan reports and have advised him a two-day rest. They believe Malik should be fit to play in the second Test," he added.

It is, however, also the genesis of the verbose title of this blog. Unfortunately, food is not the subject, nor is this (supposed to be) an outlet for angry, cynical diatribes directed toward any number of things that I might find depressing, embarrassing, excruciating, or all of the above in this Austin music scene that we all know and love.
Several incarnations followed, and the axiom was eventually whittled down to Shut up; Im listening. But the simpler the better, right? And sometimes Ill admit it I get tired of listening and just want everyone and every machine to be quiet for one minute, just to reflect on whatever might have aurally (or mentally) transpired, be it sound, scream, whisper, or riff. Dont take it the wrong way. Shut Up is not meant in malice. Its intention is not to instigate or shred.
Report Summary
This report documents the crippling barriers such families face in pursuing a goal enshrined in Americas founding documenthappiness. Those barriers center around a simple fact. With only rare exceptions, a heterosexual couple where one partner is foreign, one a U.S. citizen, can claim the right to enter the U.S. with a few strokes of a pen.2 They need not even marry: they need only show to a U.S. consulate abroad that they intend to do so and have met at least once before in their lives. (Waivers of the latter rule are possible.) In practice, U.S. immigration is filled with obstacles for many who seek to enter. Any binational family may encounter injustices and bureaucratic barriers on the road to reunification. A flawed and irrational system demands overhaul. But a lesbian or gay couple cannot even claim basic rights.
