Locals recall Giuliani's Hamptons hideaway
They wanted to be left alone, and Rudy Giuliani and Judith Nathan figured they could count on the Hamptons.
Long a haven for stressed-out artists, weary Wall Streeters and summering families, the forested northern shore of Southampton Town appeared to offer the couple near-complete secrecy as their relationship bloomed in the late 1990s -- and continues to do so even today.
"You don't know how many times I get asked this question," writer Steven Gaines, an avowed close friend of Nathan's, said Wednesday regarding details of the couple's Hamptons history. "And my answer is, I can't comment on that."

Pastor's flier used to 'incite tensions'
The Anti-Defamation League, which fights anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, released a statement in Atlanta Monday condemning the flier, saying, it "makes an outrageously false claim about Jews' attitudes toward Jesus, and it attempts to drive a potentially dangerous wedge and incite tensions between African-Americans and Jews in Memphis." This is the most recent incident in which Cohen opponents have claimed a white man cannot adequately represent the interests of the predominantly black 9th District. Last August, the Black Baptist Ministerial Association took Cohen to task for his support of the Hate Crimes bill vote he'd cast months earlier. When he was given an audience before the group, one minister, Robert Poindexter of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, asserted, "He's not black and he can't represent me." Cohen was one of three white candidates in a 15-candidate field when he won the Democratic Primary in 2006.
Hey! Do I Look Like $11,815?
I saw the dress first in a magazine advertisement, on a model named Sasha Pivovarova, who was seated with three other pale young women. The clothes they were wearing, I would come to learn, came from the Prada Resort collection for spring-summer 2008. Even though the way Ms. Pivovarova was sitting, slightly slouched in a way that obscured some of the dress's finer details, I could tell that it would look great on me. It was strapless (good if one is busty), with a corseted bodice and billows and billows of skirt that give the hipless hips and the already-hipped (ahem) some cover. Black, with pink and white leaves all over. I looked at the picture and pictured myself in the dress on a ship, wind in my face, even though the only time I've ever been sailing I was acting as a deckhand, polishing brass fixtures.

Vote for Me
So what happened is that independent candidates were the most popular and they won a lot of seats, says Harb. But after the elections, the NDP drew a large portion of those independent candidates to their ranks and they became members of the NDP, despite the fact the people voted for them as independents. About 60 percent of the population are totally alienated from the NDP; keeping in mind that the percentage of people who vote is rather small. So there was a gap on the political arena; there was a political void. In any society that claims to be a democracy, this political void must be filled and there have to be political parties representing the political powers and the silent majority. We call for this silent majority to speak up and participate in the political arena. .
New concerns over BNP finances
He said he did not help them but claimed he witnessed some unusual activities, namely the shredding of a large number of documents and invoices. Mr Brayshaw said he was told to burn the shredded documents, but kept them because he felt something improper had taken place. A black bin bag containing the documents has been handed to File On 4. It contains fragments of cheques, train tickets, receipts and invoices. Some of the fragments carry the names of Nick Griffin, his parents and even the Trafalgar Club. .
Jefferson Twp. dog-sledders go distance to win
Dave Steele, executive director of the Minnesota-based International Sled Dog Racing Association, credited Chris Murarik's accomplishments as a New Jersey racer. "New Jersey is not exactly a hotbed of racing," Steele said. "You have to travel a lot, and it takes a lot to have a kennel of dogs in your backyard. It says a lot about the dedication of the Murarik family." Chris Murarik hopes to spend a few weeks in Michigan next year so he can participate in more competitions. "If there was ever a time to do it, it's now," Chris Murarik said. "This is my passion, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it forever."

Dell hell vented
In the UK people kick up a fuss when a CD with millions of people's info gets stolen. Over here the Malaysian Election Commission just sells a CD with 10 million records for less than 0.1 pence per record :), apparently to anyone with the money. http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Saturday/National/2159206/Article/index_html Note that in Malaysia the Identification Card number encodes a fair amount of retrievable information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identification_number#Malaysia Wikipedia: The first group of numbers (YYMMDD) are the date of birth. The second group of numbers (SS) represents the place of birth of the holder - the states (01-13), the federal territories (14-16) or the country of origin (60-85)[4].
