...trading recipes and restaurant suggestions online. If anything, the Sterns are confused as to why many of these dishes are still regional - why, for example, the Midwest's sour-cream raisin pie hasn't joined Texas' nachos on more menus. They also think the U.S.'s local cuisine is kept fresh since it is always being tinkered with because of our lack of a food canon. While there might be only one right way to make bouillabaisse in France, there's always a new argument about how to barbecue...
Inside, the food in the JCR reminded FlyBy of info session food a bit too much (yeah, not a pleasant flashback). And the bump-n-grind area? Solid. Relatively unpopulated for most of the time, DJ Straus kept everyone's body movin' with some sweet mixes for most of the night.

...doctor working in a makeshift hospital inside the shrinking war zone in northern Sri Lanka told the Associated Press that 378 civilians had been killed and 1,100 injured due to heavy fire within the area demarcated as a no-fire zone by the government.

And though lines were short and drinks were ample, upstairs was not much better. The drinking level had all the ambiance of a hotel conference...
There was clear friction between Ghobadi and Saberi's parents, who kept themselves several feet apart from the director. At one point, Ghobadi approached Saberi's visibly shaken mother, but she pushed him away, motioning him away with her hands. After Ghobadi's letter, Reza Saberi announced that he could not confirm Ghobadi as his daughter's fiancee. One source close to the family said they perceive him as taking advantage of her recent newsworthiness to publicize his film, and wonder why he was not speaking out for her before her case attracted such international attention. Ghobadi said...
