Most in the United States don’t know much about the Middle East or the people that live there. This lack of knowledge hurts our ability to understand world events and, consequently, our ability to hold intelligent opinions about those events. So here’s a very brief primer aimed at raising the level of knowledge about the region.

Thursday night on NBC, Late Night With Conan O'Brien was offering a rerun, and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno was offering Conan O'Brien. The self-deprecating absurdist has visited the folksy wisecracker many times before, but this appearance promised and delivered an especially odd vibe. It was a blip of inside-showbiz awkwardness.

The writers had worked out what the arc in the back half [of the fourth season] was already... I think [the strike] actually benefited the show in some ways in that... we started to think about things that we could change, things we could make better. And when the strike was over... we wrote the second half of the season all over again.

AlgonquinSituated between the West River and the Humboldt River, Alogonquin is the beating heart of Liberty City. Catch a breathtaking view of the Statue of Happiness from the Castle Gardens esplanade. Stop off in Little Italy for a disk of lukewarm spaghetti bolognese straight out of a jar or if counterfeit goods and suspiciously cheap food are more your thing, nearby Chinatown is also worth a visit. Max your credit card in Suffolk's friendly shopping district before heading up to the viewing platform at the top of Liberty City's tallest building, the Rotterdam Tower. Line up with thousads of other out-of-towners getting gypped with over priced tickets to shows in star junction or take a stroll through middle park, algonquin's famous urban area. Finish off your day with some live stand-up comedy at Split Size black out on cocktails in Lancaster's Superstar cafe. BRoker People are beginning to discover that there is a wealth of culture to be experieinced on the east side of the Humboldt River. With its brownstones and tree-lined streets, Broker offers some welcome respite from the chaotic pace of life in Algonquin. On a nice summer's day nothing beats a stroll through Outlook Park or a hotdog on Firefly Island's famous boardwalk. Although the heyday of this amusement park has come and gone, there is still a lot to see and do, like bowling a frame or two at Memory Lanes. Hove beach's bustling Eastern European neighbourhoodhas an atmosphere and personality all of its own. Some Russian hospitality at Comrades Bar and a few vodkas will soon seperate the men from the boys.BohanThe Bohan people are some of the friendliest in Liberty City, especially the girls in scuffed stilettos on the street corners of Chase point. Show a lack of respect, however, and your next stop will be the Bohan Mental and Dental center. Also, please bare in mind that every neighborhood in Bohan believes in rap hip-hop so, in the interests of self preservation please --- the locals. Welham Parkway in Bouleveard is a beautiful lot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. Down a six-pack of Logger / Lager, take out some rollerblades and go swimming in the lake. At the tip of the Northeron Gardens lies one of the most tranquil and pictureseque shorelines in the world of Liberty City with hardly a hypodermic needle in sight.

A new service called BookLamp is promoting itself as the Pandora of Books, with a system that matches and recommends books based on books you have read and liked. The idea is not so different from Amazon's recommend feature or Amazon's "Other Buyers bought", but BookLamp, currently in BETA, aims to use logistics and an algorithm to help you get better matching. The interface is a little complex and hard to follow or use, but the concept seems entertaining. Coupled with Amazon affiliation, they could make a lot of money selling books on comission.
