Inside Hurricane tests new disaster relief plan / 11A MONTPELIER, Vt. The full measure of Hurricane Irenes fury came into focus Monday as the death toll jumped to 38, New England towns battled epic floods and millions faced the dispiriting prospect of several days without electricity. From North Carolina to Maine, communities cleaned up and took stock of the uneven and hard-to- predict costs of a storm that spared the nations biggest city a nightmare scenario, only to deliver a historic wallop to towns well inland. In New York City, where people had braced for a disaster- movie scene of water swirling around skyscrapers, the subways and buses were up and running again in time for the Monday morning commute. And to the surprise of many New Yorkers, things went pretty smoothly. But in N...
It all started on March 13 when Isaac Hayes quit his job on Comedy Central's hit "South Park" series; he'd voiced the character Chef since 1997. Hayes, also a Scientologist, claimed that his departure was owing to the show's religious "intolerance and bigotry." The 63-year old soul man felt one episode in particular had crossed the line. Entitled "Trapped in the Closet," it poked fun at Scientology and fellow celebrity churchgoers such as John Travolta and [Tom Cruise]. Apparently it was a slow-burn kind of situation for Hayes. The offending episode aired last November. That was news to "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology," Stone responded in a statement to the Associated Press. "He has no problem - and he's c...

State Rep. Bill DeWeese's contention that everybody in Harrisburg mixes partisan politics with the people's business would come as no surprise to most Pennsylvanians. What is surprising is that the contention apparently would become central to DeWeese's legal strategy to fend off political corruption charges.

It's no surprise that Ol' Paint's work, first released by GWP Records, then a spinoff of RCA Records, would catch on with modern audiences and hence be a good choice for Fallout, a U.K.-based label that specializes in vintage reissues. The group's marginally folkbased, pop-rock sound is the exact style that modern groups like Dr. Dog, Grizzly Bear and even local contemporary Gregg Yeti seem to be going for. The pleasantly out-of-tune opener, "Always In tile Way," features jangly guitars and busy bass lines that support vocals that could pass as modem alt-rock, whereas psychedelic music and lyrics like those of "Natural Man" ("I am a natural man/ across the universe I span/I know what everybody sees/ Every tiling is up to me") would appeal to current audiophiles. Yet [Phil Zeppetello] is...

Apparently there is a fire at CITGO," [Susan Clewis] wrote in that same e-mail to Donna Phillips, the area head for the Texas Coast and East Texas. The e-mail states that an agency employee had called Larry Elizondo, a Citgo spokesman and Corpus city councilman, but "he refused to give [the employee] any information. In other e-mails that day, TCEQ officials show more concern with how the media would report the event than adequately responding to the toxic chemical release. "With the media attention this event is getting, I think it would be best to conduct air monitoring," Kelly Ruble, a Region 14 employee, wrote to Clewis and Phillips at 3:41 p.m., nearly seven hours after the fire started. "The old saying 'negative data is better than no data.'" It's no surprise that TCEQ didn't fi...
The "New York Graffiti Field Identification Guide" located at Gridskipper.com lists Faro among the city's "most recognizable artists." The site explains: "Though much of his work is featured around SoHo and Manhattan's Lower East Side, he has yet to make commercial inroads. That may not be his goal." On the other hand, maybe it is. The show's 26 paintings range in size from the aforementioned triptych to works as small as 4 by 6 inches. The 16-by-20-inch works on paper have some of the spontaneity of Faro's street art. "You Are a Victim of the Rules You Live By" and "Abuse of Power Comes as No Surprise" are side-by-side paper pieces in which the title texts are superimposed in black on rows of pale rose-colored patterning. A monster head is drawn over Arabic script in "Abuse of Power." ...
