Dirigo No More
A school consolidation plan in Maine:
The plan itself is familiar: the pursuit of the false god of educational efficiency through the concentration of school districts as ordered by the governor. 290 school districts would be merged into 26 regional administrative units.
What makes it stranger is that Maine is one of a handful of New England states where one can still find the remnants of American democracy functioning at human scale thanks to such institutions as town meetings and lots of small villages that do what they want without excessive interference from above. This tradition has produced in recent years more independent governors (although not the present one) than just about any state and a culture of honest independence in politics and governance that would best be emulated rather than reorganized....
To add to the oddity, it is all being done in the name of "smart growth."
That's Sam Smith, the localist tribune behind Undernews, in an angry essay decrying the ongoing effort "to replace the decentralization of decision-making with centralized, bureaucratic choices."
Editor's Note: We invite comments and request that they be civil and on-topic. We do not moderate or assume any responsibility for comments, which are owned by the readers who post them. Comments do not represent the views of Reason.com or Reason Foundation. We reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason at any time. Report abuses.
But it is for the children.
There is a lot of opposition to the idea here. Because it's an appallingly bad idea. The regions are determined by fiat, not by any natural process. Oh, and how will the regions operate? Well, the proposal simply goes into the laws governing that stuff and replaces the present term, "school administrative district," with the term "regional learning community," the treacly new term for the mega-regions. Really.
"Localism," in regards to smart growth, means that each community gets to impose highly restrictive snob zoning laws which forbid the construction of anything but the most tax-friendly version of housing, expensive single family homes.
Smart growthers would reduce these governments' power to continue the regulatory policies that have so distorted the housing and real estate markets, while anti-smart growthers are fighting to make sure town retain this power. -
That's why you'll find most people here opposed to such zoning boards.
Even if we assume that your premise is factually correct...
"Localism," in regards to smart growth, means that each community gets to impose highly restrictive snob zoning laws which forbid the construction of anything but the most tax-friendly version of housing, expensive single family homes.
Such decisions should ONLY be made at the local rather than the State level. The citizens of the locality have more invested in their community than those who do not live in the community whose elected officials now have a say in how the local communities may operate.
By seizing this responsibility from the local communities and handing it over to the state you will have greatly watered down the input that the local citizens have on their own community. -
There is a lot of opposition to the idea here. Because it's an appallingly bad idea.
Maine is full of bad ideas. From Baldacci's proposed property tax freeze to Portland's "formula" business ban. -
"That's why you'll find most people here opposed to such zoning boards." Which makes it all the more odd to see how consistently most people here oppose the most significant criticism of contemporary zoning, and its market-distorting effects, while standing up for those effects on the grounds that they are natural and superior to what would have happened in the absense of that regulation.
"The citizens of the locality have more invested in their community than those who do not live in the community whose elected officials now have a say in how the local communities may operate." Do they have more invested than the people who won't be able to afford a decent home because of the snob zoning?
I guess it depends on what you mean by "invested." Their economic investment has already been made, but that doesn't make them the only ones who are effected by their decisions.
Should only white people have had a say in whether all-white public bathrooms were desegregated? -
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why this country is not mired in ignorance and poverty. After two hundred -plus years, despite the best efforts of our degreed educators, we still have not successfully managed to collectivize public education.
Their economic investment has already been made, but that doesn't make them the only ones who are effected by their decisions.
You already know my stance on the issue: No zoning boards. However, since I assumed your premise that they were necessary it makes logical sense that those in the community should have more say in their community than someone in a different community 400 miles away who has nothing to lose. -
Why is consolidation bad in the corporate context but good in the education industry? I've found that local decision making is almost always better. Perhaps there are funding issues that should be dealt with separately. There is nothing good that can happen when local administrators start saying, "I'll have to run this by the boys downtown." -
There's a similar plan here in Vermont although it's just a step towards our socialist legislature's goal of one big state-run school district.
The only justification that Vermont proponents out is that it's a burden for the state-mandated, but locally paid-for, superintendents to meet with all the town school boards in their jurisdictions. How much more efficient middle management would be with a lighter workload!
In Vermont the town school boards have little power any more anyway since the state took over the school property tax from the towns. That was a result of a Vermont Supreme Court decision in a case brought by the Vermont ACLU. Another result was that I dropped my ACLU membership.
In Maine it appears that the consolidation proposal is coming from the governor's office and that the legislature has yet to consider the idea. Maine has twice as many people spread out about 3.5 times the area as Vermont. Combining several small geographically separate systems into a single administrative unit won't get any popular support. I bet it doesn't happen. -
I found the linked essay to be rather incoherent. He rambled on a bit against "smart growth" without explaining what it has to do with Maine's school consolidation idea, other than proposing a vague "being told what to do from afar" similarity. Yes, smart growth is sometimes imposed from afar but it's hardly a defining characteristic of the idea. Small communities are perfectly free to follow smart growth guidelines if they have the will. In any event smart growth is all about increasing the variety of densities and uses over small areas, so it's a bit strange to call school district consolidation a "smart growth" idea.
I think he links "smart growth" and the consolidation plan in Maine because they are part of the Brookings Institution report. -
I think he links "smart growth" and the consolidation plan in Maine because they are part of the Brookings Institution report.
If that's so, he's the only one making that connection. I'm not terribly familiar with Brookings but I don't think it has anything to do with the smart growth movement. There's nothing specifically smart-growth about the idea of building skyscrapers in DC--although it does fit in with smart growth ideas about providing a variety of densities and especially reducing "sprawl" and therefore travelling times. There's nothing at all smart-growth about the Maine plan. In fact I have heard smart-growth types specifically denounce big, centralized "big-box" schools. -
You should address your question to somebody who had offered, or at least who holds, an opinion about the educational consolidation.
"Small communities are perfectly free to follow smart growth guidelines if they have the will." Sayeth Rhwuyn.
I'll go farther - in many cases, the communities who choose to favor sprawl over smart growth are making rational decisions based on the incentives created by state and federal regulations. If schools are funded by local property taxes, the allowing development which adds kids to the schools is a net loser for towns, because each housing unit will cost more in services than it pays in taxes. Whether the state will cover a greater share of each town's school costs is a decision that is made in the state capital. -
allowing development which adds kids to the schools is a net loser for towns
The obvious solution to that is vouchers. I don't have kids, in fact I rather despise them. Why should I have to pay for the education of other people's kids?
Anyway, while I agree that there are too many incentives toward sprawl, I also believe that human nature favors it too. That is, given the choice, most people would choose to sprawl. Just not as many people as most municipalities seem to think, if the vanishing vacancy rates of popular cities are any indication. -
Yo Rhwuyn,
Whether you're paying the income tax that funds the vouchers or the property tax that funds the schools, you're still paying for other people's kids.
"That is, given the choice, most people would choose to sprawl." That's sloppy language - an individual cannot "choose to sprawl," as sprawl requires land-use patterns on the community and regional level.
If you mean, most people would choose a bigger house lot, well, yeah, all else being equal. People would also choose a convenient commercial district, all else being equal. And they'd choose to live within wallking distance of their kids' school, all else being equal.
The point is, sprawl is not the choice people are making, but the aggregate effect of the choices people are making, given certain options. -
I grew up in Maryland, which has one school district for each of its 23 counties (plus one more for Baltimore City). I live in New Jersey, which has one school district for each of its 7 million municipalities. (Actually 604 school districts -- essentially, one for every high school.) I find no evidence that this "local control" makes schools in New Jersey superior to schools in Maryland -- but it does make schools in New Jersey (and hence property taxes) far far far more expensive.
Joe, yes, "sprawl" is the result of a lot of decisions rather than a single choice one person makes. Now that you're done with that nitpicking, it should be obvious what he means: people prefer (balancing all the considerations you raise) to live in "sprawl" conditions over higher density ones.
Whether you're paying the income tax that funds the vouchers or the property tax that funds the schools, you're still paying for other people's kids.
Shit, you're right. I guess I have to bite the bullet and advocate private schools, to be paid for by a combination of tuition which is affordable to most because of the enormous tax cut privatization will allow and by private scholarships for those who merit it but can't afford the tuition. This will have the added benefit of cutting down on all the wasteful overeducation we have now.
Getting back to local control, there's one huge drawback: kids are generally forced to attend their local school. I believe kids should be able to attend any school they want. Privatization would allow this too.

Earlier this week the NHL announced the starting captains for the new playground-style All-Star game. The six captains, voted in by the fans, only represent two teams.
The Pittsburgh Penguins had four captains voted in; Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury and Kris Letang. The Blackhawks had Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith voted into the starting six.
OK, let's deal with the first issue. Only two teams are represented in the top six, and the Penguins represent more than half of those six.
What are they representing? I'll let Puck Daddy handle that:
In case you've spaced on this: The 2011 NHL All-Star Game is an entirely different animal. Six players were named to a fantasy pool today, and will join 36 others players hand-picked by NHL Hockey Operations on Jan. 11. Two captains and four alternate captains will be selected by the pool of players, and they will draft two teams to compete in the game in Raleigh on Jan. 30.
Alright, this is where it gets cool, kind of. Now the NHL will select the rest of the participants who will be "All-Stars." That's right, everyone who voted for players other than those in the top six the top six (and I'm assuming that would be every fan other than Penguin and Blackhawk fans) will see their work get thrown out the window.
So let's take Steven Stamkos, the top vote-getter who didn't make cut. He's not guaranteed a spot in the game. At the end of it all 22 more forwards will make the team, 10 more defenseman and three more goaltenders.
Here is the list of the 22 top vote-getting forwards, aside from Crosby, Malkin and Towes.
Steven Stamkos | TBL | 308453 |
Patrick Kane | CHI | 282961 |
Michael Cammalleri | MTL | 264726 |
Alex Ovechkin | WSH | 245180 |
Mike Richards | PHI | 228828 |
Claude Giroux | PHI | 226739 |
Tomas Plekanec | MTL | 222117 |
Marian Hossa | CHI | 215040 |
Pavel Datsyuk | DET | 213507 |
Danny Briere | PHI | 206196 |
Brian Gionta | MTL | 200485 |
Sean Avery | NYR | 172869 |
Henrik Zetterberg | DET | 172266 |
Chad LaRose | CAR | 168567 |
Eric Staal | CAR | 142634 |
Johan Franzen | DET | 128773 |
Patrick Sharp | CHI | 124587 |
Jeff Carter | PHI | 116998 |
Nicklas Backstrom | WSH | 100923 |
Henrik Sedin | VAN | 84964 |
Daniel Sedin | VAN | 84404 |
Alexander Semin | WSH | 82960 |
You probably see where I'm going with this, if the picture didn't tune you in. Sean Avery is the 12th-highest forward voted into the game by the fans. But those 172,869 votes will be thrown out the window as the NHL decides who they think is deserving of the honor to be an All-Star.
I will bet my bottom dollar that Sean Avery isn't on that list, even though if this were last year (and these voting results were the same) he would have made the team. To me that's pretty ridiculous. Especially since I can almost promise you that a Sedin twin (either Henrik or Daniel) will make the game, even though Avery out-voted both of them combined.
This will deter votes, something else that Puck Daddy touched on.
These players are not starters, mind you, as they would have been in the past. They're just the first six players in the pool. No one knew what the hell they were voting for, so the fans met the revamped format with apathy.
Consider this: For the 2009 All-Star Game in Montreal, Crosby received an NHL record 1,713,021 votes while Malkin received 1,585,936. Fleury was second among goaltenders with 1,486,079 votes.
(You want to make the argument that those were totals inflated by computer programs that hacked the voting site and robo-voted for the Penguins and Canadiens? Go ahead. Point is that fans didn't care enough in 2010-11 to even figure out how to cheat the system.)
Consider this: The vote totals for Crosby (825,783 to 635,509), Alex Ovechkin (475,297 to 245,180) and Lidstrom (573,069 to 296,600) were higher in 2007 than they were this year.
It's his final comment that's alarming to me. The fact that in 2007 before Ovechkin or Crosby truly took over the league (although they were still big) they outvoted themselves this year. And when Greg says that the NHL fans met the format with apathy, I think he was being a little kind.
In the end, we won't know what the All-Star Game is like (including wether the system is a success or a failure) until afterwards. But as of right night it seems like the entire thing is confusing and the system seems to work against itself. Still, I'll reserve judgement for later.

Everest Base Camp - Can't Wait
Hi all,
Am now booked in and just wondered who else was coming along?
Look forward to hearing from you and any tips if you have them,
Hi Chris,
I'm also booked on this- absolutely cannot wait! Have started gathering bits and pieces, hard to know exactly what to bring!
Hi Ruth,
Glad to hear from you and really looking forward to meeting you. Like you I can't wait, I'm 95% excited and 5% going OMG what have I done!!!
Yes - I keep getting bits and bobs as I go along and then suddently seem to keep thinking of something else!! Not quite sure how we will manage the 12KG limit.
Have you done anything like this before? Do you do much walking over here?
Take care,
Hey guys!
I'm coming on the TNT trek in September too. I'm really looking forward to it - don't think it's going to sink in that we're actually going to the Himalayas until we land in Nepal.
I've been trekking in Costa Rica and Morocco before, but never been trekking in a cold place. I'm sure fitting all the winter clothes in for 12kg will be tricky. May have to wear everything I own on the plane and just take a big bag full of energy bars... ;)
Talk to you soon,
Hey Helen,
Good to hear from you and also looking forward to meeting you. Wearing all you clothes and a bag full of energy bars sounds like an excellent plan!! 8o)
Roll on September.
Speak soon,
Hi guys,
Looking forward to meeting you too. Very excited about it. The nearest thing I've done is climb Mt Kenya- and that was 10 years ago! But I will be doing as much walking over here (Northern Ireland) during the summer as possible.
I discovered Karrimor duvet jackets here: http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor?dcp=17&OrderBy=PRICE_ASC really reasonably priced if it helps at all!!
Do either of you know anything about where we leave our extra stuff while we are on trek? Are either of you doing the safari extension?
Hey Ruth,
Yes - Apparently we can leave the additional stuff at the Hotel in Katmandu and pick it up when we get back which is good news. Just need to try and make sure we pack light.
I was speaking to a Mountaineer Friend who has been to the Himalayas a lot and he said it could be quite warm at lower levels as well as cold further up so we may need a balance of clothing. He also said take a strong sun cream Factor 50 plus, as we are so much higher the sun is stronger, and some lip salves. It could also be quite dusty so something to cover your nose and mouth and some really good sun glasses that sort of wrap around. Oh yes and a Sun hat as well as a warm hat!!!!
His name is Nigel Vardy - You can Google him if you like but if you are a bit squeamish, don't look at the Frost Bite Pictures.
Top bloke, who knows his stuff and was really helpful (even to a novice like me!!)
So looking forward to meeting you.
PS - Much as I would love too, I'm afraid I am not doing the Safari
Thanks Chris
Wow, that's a useful acquaintance to have! But yeh- the pics are a bit graphic!
Shame you're not going on the safari- hopefully it will be a good way to unwind after the trek. What are your plans for training for the trip?
Hi Ruth,
I think the Safari will be a great way to unwind but regretably I have to get back to work 8o(
Training wise I have ben going to the Gym 2-3 times a week since January - Initially to get me out of the house, but I am quite enjoying it and its good prep.
As I work in Scotland a lot I have also been doing some "Munro Bagging" and have climbed three out of the 10 highest so far. I am also trying Ben Nevis (again!!) in a couple of weeks. We had to turn back because the weather was so bad last time. We could not see where we were going and, as they say, discretion is the better part of valour. I also climbed Sca Fell Pike at the end of March and at the time it was still knee deep in Snow - Fun though!!
I'm pretty confident I will be OK for the trip although I am a little worried about Altitude Sickness. Nigel said you can take something caled Diomox and my GP will prescribe it for me on a Private Prescription so I may well get some just in case.
This is a realy useful link if you are interested
Hope you are OK,
Hey Chris,
Sounds like you will be well ready for the trek with all that preparation!
I know about Diamox- I lived near Kilimanjaro for a while and people used it all the time to climb. I did hear one or two reports of it making you pee blood though but relatively few side effects. I am thinking of trying a combination of Gingko Biloba and Aspirin- http://www.liebreich.com/LDC/HTML/Climbing/Ginkgo_Biloba.html as described here just because I hate taking things like diamox if I can avoid it!! What do you reckon......
Glad all going well
Hi Ruth,
How are you? Hope the preparations are going well. I did Ben Nevis last weekend (Not the Tourist route bur across the CMD Arete) which was very hard work but also very satisfying.
I had a good read of the article, thank you, and found it very interesting. Unfortunartely I can't take Aspirin so I think I am going to stick with the Diomox just in case.
Hope to hear from you soon,
PS - 4 months and counting!!!!
Big hello to all,
I'm relying totally on my fellow team members to carry me up to base camp. I'll do the walk down! This is my first such trip and I'm having to educate myself on what gear to take. I'll get there but if I bring all the wrong stuff promise not to laugh. Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Hi Mark,
I've not done anything like this before either - Just walking over here.
What did you want to know and I'll see if I can help.
not long to go now how is everyones training going never been on one of these before
Hi all,
The countdown is on! Getting really excited now! Good to hear from more going.
The training is going um, ....ok.....when I do it lol! I am heading over to Snowdon this weekend actually so I'll know better after that how I'm doing! Hopefully the weather holds for it!
Chris- how did you find Ben Nevis?
Anyone know anywhere to get a decent 4 season sleeping bag? Am considering hiring...
Hey Ruth,
Ben Nevis was hard work but is now ticked off. I'm off to the Cairngorms in August to try and do three more over 4000ft in a weekend - We'll see how I get on.
How was Snowdon? Looks as if you should have had great weather.
I've hired a Sleeping Bag - For the sake of £25.00 it seemed the easiest answer (and one less thing to have on the flight out).
I've bought a lot of stuff from https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com you have to keep checking as they have special offers on all the time.
Good to hear from all the new guys to and looking forward to meeting you all,
I've now read all the guidance notes re what to take and I think I'm pretty much there. I'm not sure a down filled four season jacket is required, I've bought a multi purpose jachet which is also water proof and with all the layers how the heck will I get a down filled jacket on!? Anyway if I get it wrong I'll just have to move faster. If I hit any snags re kit I'll bounce a comment for help.
Ta ra 4 now
Aye up our Chris (he's my biggest bro:)!
No one's replyed for my Nepal trip in Oct yet :( so just thought I'd pop in & see how your's was doing. Not long now!! Only I'm STILL waiting for my toes to heal so I can get back to training. It' should have been 2 weeks of healing, not 5 (so far!). But they're nearly there, so I reckon I'll have just enough time to get my fitness levels back in shape (only doing a bit of yoga at the mo).
oh trust me, 12kg limit is a nightmare when you have my camera & lenses to pack, I've even limited myself to 3 pairs of knickers, lol. (I know this because I had to pack for the trip earlyer this year, just as the volcano decided to blow it's top & cancel my trip)
Really wish I'd taken a photo of everything I had to pack while it was all laid out ready, I just know I'll forget something this time round!
Just to let everyone know, my kit bag arrived in the post last week. If yours hasn't turned up may be time to give exodus a gentle nudge (or give the postman a slap...). Packing was going well until I realised the book I wanted to take weighs 1kg! Hmmm, think that'll have to stay at home unless it has a secret pocket that can also be used as a sleeping bag...
25 days to go!!!! :)
Hey Helen,
Mine arrived too- it's blooming massive! I was expecting it to be smaller.
So, just to get this right. We pack a big bag, and pack the kit bag in the big bag. Then we leave the big bag with stuff in it at the hotel and take the kit bag on trek........yeh?
Also, what size day bags are people bringing for the trek? I'm so confused.......lol
What time are people arriving in Heathrow? Is there a meeting place? Hmm, maybe I should go read my notes again.......
Hi Helen, Ruth
Hope you guys are OK? Can't believe how quick this has come round.
Yep got my bag too. I was thinking of using this as my main bag with a smaller one inside to leave my other stuff at the hotel?? Really not sure what to do for the best.
My day sack is 40 litres which may well be too big but I thought better to have to much space than not enough and I'm hoping I can use this as my onboard baggage. I guess time will tell.
Looking to be at Heathrow around 5.30 (ish) but have no idea where we meet. If you have any good ideas let me know.
See you both very soon
Ruth - last time I went on an exodus trek we used the kit bag as our main bag (hold luggage). That got tied to the back of mules (yaks in our case I reckon) and transported along the route for us. The kit bag is usually in place of a big rucksack. Everyone also had a day sack, mainly for drink and cameras, and we carried that ourselves the whole time. I'm not taking any other bags because I'm not travelling on afterwards so should have everything I need with me all the time.
Chris - not been to Heathrow in ages so not sure about decent meeting places. We'll probably spot the exodus bags at check-in.
Does anyone know what happens about airline tickets? Are they all e-tickets these days?
See you guys soon! :)
Ignore the e-tickets question - the final joining instructions have just turned up in my e-mail inbox. It suggests check-in no later than 3 hours before departure, so that's 5.45pm.
Kathmandu hotel looks nice - there's even a Japanese restaurant on site (random!).
Yay, final departure e-mail arrived too. It's all very real now!
Thanks for the info, I have now decided to use the kit bag as my main bag and put a smaller one in to leave stuff at the hotel.....
So I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more kit bags at check-in and shall look like a weirdo, nervously approaching complete strangers hoping they are actually on this trip.....lol
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
I'll be arriving around 6pm next Monday via Kuwait. My Kit bag was sent to the UK and my last package of gear has not arrived yet "GULP", its all a bit to close to call right now.
Hi everyone
I am also booked in for the Everest trek - cannot wait to meet you. Flying from Heathrow on sunday - I'll look our for your tell-tale Exodus bags at check-in...
Did Kilimanjaro last year with Exodus (and had an absolutely amazing time - very well organised, etc) - this is going to be great. Give me a mail if you need any pointers on what to pack, etc - definitaly recommend a couple of sets of full-length thermals - see you soon:

Redmond, Petrea and Albion, Peter (2002) In their own words: pre-service teachers' perceptions of ICT integration. In: 13th International Conference of the Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education (SITE 2002), 18-23 March 2002, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

[Abstract]: Pre-service teachers participated in an online discussion that included a guest who facilitated conversation about integration of ICTs. Students mostly agreed that integration of ICTs was desirable but differed in their views about specific practices. They demonstrated awareness of the challenges facing teachers and schools in integrating ICTs but appeared to have had little personal experience of ICT integration during field experience.

Rumors had it that new Pentax bodies would be announced today. Well, that did not turn out to be the case; however, via a Japanese interview with the head of Pentax's R&D department, Riki Kitazawa, we've gotten some insight into what Pentax is planning for the future.
Two goals seem to be clear from the dialog:
- Pentax is focusing on minimizing the phyisical size of their DSLR cameras
- Pentax is exploring mirrorless as an option for a pro-grade 645 format camera, as well as for an "affordable" full-frame camera
There is no clear indication of what's coming in the near future, but it's inevitable that a successor to both the K-5 (still in production) and the K-r (just discontinued) will be announced in the upcoming months.
We'll let you draw further conclusions yourself. Thanks for forum member v5planet, an English translation of the interview is available in this forum thread: Interview with Mr. Kitazawa.

Madrid in summer is an unbearable haunt of stifling hotness that leaves visitors breathless and takes away their enthusiasm for exploration and sightseeing. For this reason, well-off madrilenos (and most residents appear to fall in this category, showing that the economic recession in Spain seems to have left little or no dire effects on the capital) leave the capital for a summer recess and travel north where the temperature is more tolerable and the sea ambience provides a cool invigorating atmosphere that contrasts deeply with the hot humidity of the inland cities. I was in Madrid last summer but my repeated attempts to travel around independently and look into the churches, museums and gardens for which the Spanish capital is so gloriously renowned proved futile. Steamily hot, the capital was rendered unwalkable except perhaps at night when obviously all places of interest were closed. Consequently, I decided to cut short my Madrid tour after a stopover of only two days but with the intention to revisit as soon as the weather cools off.My second visit to Madrid in December was contrary to the first one a real treat. Although the streets and squares of the central zone were invaded by swarms of visitors and I was on many occasions compelled to push to make my way through, the general ambience was so great and the atmosphere so intimate that I enjoyed every minute to the full. The weather was perfect for strolling around, the parks and grasslands were as green as any well-groomed house garden in spring and with Christmas just round the corner the partying atmosphere of fiesta reached an all-time high.A tour of Madrid probably starts at Madrid's Barajas airport, ten miles northeast of the city centre. The best way into town from any of the four arriving terminals is the metro, line 8 offering a direct twenty-minute link between Barajas and Nuevos Ministerios, north of the centre. Being a major metro interchange, Nuevos Ministerios connects with line 6 (a circular route that runs around the inner city) and line 10 (a route that cuts diagonally across the city from its northeast station Hospital Infanta Sofia to its southwest station Puerta del Sur), making one's way to the centre an easy feat of travelling quickly and cheaply.Madrid's most popular square and meeting place is also its geographical centre. Named Plaza de la Puerta del Sol but popularly referred to simply as Sol, it is the best place to linger around if one wants to get a real taste of old Madrid. The square has no particular attractions but the atmosphere of rowdiness created by noisy madrilenos on the move is enough to justify a repeated leisurely walk around. The buildings that surround the square are typical of imperial Madrid, ostentatious and imposing but their otherwise monumental architecture fades into insignificance as the restaurants that occupy their ground floor open their doors for a long day of activity. Restaurant owners are undoubtedly privileged to occupy a nook here from which they can make good money but … aren't such spots of indulgence out of place within a historical quarter? The network of busy metro lines under the square are rightly out of sight except for two unobtrusive access entrances that lead to the city's most frequented abysmal stations. On the east edge of this vast space stands a small monument that is neither artistic nor particularly attractive. Often missed out by sightseers due to its out-of-the-way location and its diminutive dimensions, it is nevertheless a symbol of the city, a historical representation of allegory and folklore. A smaller-than-life bronze bear, black with pollution stretches itself upright against the trunk of a 'madrono' tree in an attempt to reach the fruit at the top. Two other more imposing monumental statues stand on Plaza de la Puerta del Sol but it is the bear and the 'madrono' tree that madrilenos find most endearing and precious.December on Plaza del Sol is a month of non-stop celebrations. Madrilenos have a passion for religious festivities and needless to say most are well versed in the art of merrymaking. During the Christmas season, Plaza del Sol and the streets that radiate from it turn into one huge manifestation of carefree enthusiasm where the holiday spirit can be experienced twenty-four hours a day. An eighteen-metre high Christmas tree brightened with thousands of Christmas lights and glittering decorations is set up on the square right in front of the old post office. Several smaller but equally eye-catching nativity decorations like five-pointed stars, artificial snowmen and life-size Christmas statues are thrown in here and there to add to the Christmas atmosphere. Coming here after six in the evening is tantamount to experiencing more than three million dazzling lights that are spread over the most popular streets of the centre like coloured speckles of brightness joined together with partially visible strands. Shop fronts are needless to say decorated with more flickering lights that add to the Christmas spirit and tempt passers-by to look more closely at the display. Blanketed in more dazzling lights is the widespread façade of the Corte Ingles department store, an exposition of dangling threads of sparkles and multi-coloured radiance. A repeated up-and-down leisurely walk along Calle Mayor from Plaza del Sol to Calle de Bailen is an unforgettable encounter with the characteristic features of medieval Madrid. Although most of Calle Mayor has been unfortunately transformed heedlessly into a clamorous shopping district of small individual shops, the street is nonetheless still crammed with old-world charm and stunning architecture. A short westbound walk from Plaza del Sol followed by a sharp turn left on Calle de Felipe III brings one right on Plaza Mayor, Madrid's most imposing piazza and its most important centre of attraction. Sitting on an elevated rectangular plot of land, Plaza Mayor is indisputably Madrid's heart, an enclosure formed by four rows of grand buildings that retain uniformity of design and colour. The unique appearance of the piazza reaches its height in the exterior architectural beauty of the Casa de la Panaderia, an impressive building that boasts two side towers and three tiers of exquisite frescoes that run along the whole length of the façade. During the Christmas season, Plaza Mayor turns into an open-air market that brims with rows of colourful stalls stocked to capacity with all sorts and sizes of Christmas statuettes and other Christmas-related creations. Some items on display are mass-produced moulds of resinous material and have little artistic value; other items are handmade works of art, sculpted, painted and gilded by Spanish master craftsmen and consequently carry a certificate of origin. Under the arched walkways and conveniently sheltered from rain and frost are several more stalls that do not however deal in Christmas items but are entirely reserved for philatelists, numismatists and card collectors. The atmosphere on the square particularly after dark when everywhere glitters and flickers with colourful incandescence is lively, exciting and bustling but never business-like. Coming here at night is a guarantee that the Christmas spirit of the Spanish capital will tug at your heartstrings and stir your emotions to join in the fun and merrymaking. Down from Plaza Mayor followed by a short walk west on Calle Mayor brings one near Plaza de la Villa, an unpretentious piazza that embraces a wealth of Madrid-style architecture that is at least four centuries old. Well preserved, the buildings on the square are composed of brick, stone and granite merged in such a way as to create a unique style of design and adornment. The most eye-catching building is the Old Town Hall, a red-orange graceful baroque structure with two slate-roofed corner towers. The oldest is the Gothic Torre de los Lujanes, another merger of brick and stone that dates back to the fifteenth century. The last section of Calle Mayor, further west than Plaza de la Villa is less crowded and has fewer crowd-pulling attractions. It is chock-a-block with small shops of all sorts; to peep in even if you do not intend to buy is a delightful experience shop owners in Madrid accept with favour. Bakeries, florists, souvenir shops, tea shops and coffee shops abound. Less abundant but perhaps more tempting are the artisanal shops and antiquarians whose displays of fine art, artistic handicrafts and collector's items are often as interesting, fascinating and nostalgic as the pieces you see in a museum. The westernmost edge of Calle Mayor is characterized by a number of nondescript buildings that lack architectural features worthy of note. But further west across Calle de Bailen, the area is one huge venue of sightseeing attractions that can easily keep one occupied for a whole day. The highlight is indisputably the Royal Palace, a huge baroque three-storey place that incorporates in addition to the Royal Chambers, the Royal Library, the Imperial Armoury, the Royal Pharmacy and the meticulously kept Sabatini Gardens.

Docs Clear 'N Sync's Bass For Space Ride
Lance Bass of pop act 'N Sync said Friday that Russian space doctors have cleared him for a flight to the International Space Station aboard a Russian rocket, a journey he hopes to make this fall. The
Lance Bass of pop act 'N Sync said Friday that Russian space doctors have cleared him for a flight to the International Space Station aboard a Russian rocket, a journey he hopes to make this fall. The 23-year-old singer shrugged off questions about the dangers of space flight. "I like to be positive, I'm an optimist," he told reporters in Moscow. "I know physically I can do it, I know mentally I can do it."
The Russian Aerospace Agency said earlier last week that it hadn't yet received commercial proposals from Bass or his representatives and warned that there is little chance he can complete training in time for the next Soyuz rocket launch in October.
The Interfax news agency quoted Aerospace Agency spokesman Sergei Gorbunov as saying Bass should take "extremely energetic measures" to quickly wrap up commercial talks and start training. But Gorbunov voiced doubts the singer would manage to secure a seat on October's flight.
Bass did not comment on financial details of his bid. The world's second space tourist, South African Mark Shuttleworth, returned to Earth this month after a weeklong trip that cost him $20 million -- the same sum the world's first space tourist, Dennis Tito, paid last year. Bass said the October flight would ideally suit his band's busy schedule, and added that other band members were "very supportive" of his adventure.
Bass said he and another would-be space tourist, former NASA official Lori Garver, spent weeks passing grueling tests to qualify for the mission, with 48 doctors certifying their fitness at Russia's premier space medicine center, the Institute for Medical and Biological Problems. Bass was found to have an irregular heartbeat, and although it was not necessarily a hindrance to a space mission, he had it corrected by a medical procedure in the U.S.
He said he had long dreamed of going to space and hoped his mission would serve educational purposes through a documentary he would make in space. "We're doing final negotiations right now with a major network to air this," he said. "It makes me feel like a great spokesperson for these space programs."
Bass said he loved Russia and was looking forward to studying Russian -- a requirement for landing a seat on a Soyuz. "It's going to be very difficult, but something I'm looking forward to," he said.
Fort Worth, Texas-based RadioShack Corporation financed Bass' medical screening and also provided support to Garver, who hopes to make her space flight next April. "I'm more patient," Garver joked, saying she would be training alongside Bass as his backup at the Russian Star City cosmonaut training center outside Moscow while working to gather financial support for her own mission.
Bass hailed Garver as a great expert and excellent companion. "She's so brilliant and so dedicated to this project ... She is like a human encyclopedia when it comes to space," he said.
Both Bass and Garver are in discussions with additional sponsors and television networks to expand their financial support beyond RadioShack. Jeffrey Manber, president of the Amsterdam-based MirCorp company that is helping Bass and Garver, said he was conducting talks with Russian space officials.

"I ordered these with the opal shine, which adds a nice touch worth the tiny extra. I received lots of compliments from other moms on how cute the invite was! Went perfect from my daughters pool party under the sea theme! I know Tiny Prints is part of shutterfly now but tiny prints quality is definitely a step above shutterfly"
"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."
"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."
"I used this card for my twins 1st bday pool bash and was able to make it work with two names and the "1" inside the ball! It was so cute and easy to coordinate colors with :) Steph"
"I love the look and bright colors of this invite. The overall quality is wonderful, but what i love best is how fast it arrived. I asked for standard shipping and received the invites in the mail a full week earlier than that estimated delivery date. Thanks Tiny Prints, yet again, you are the best!"

This review is from: The Hunger Games (Paperback)
I'm at a loss for words, and I'm not sure I can put any coherent words into a review. I can't begin to describe how much I loved this book. Its a genre away from anything I've ever read before, and I wasn't sure about it at first, and I probably wouldn't have picked it up; but so many of my GR buddies recommended it to me, kept telling me I had to read this book, and you know what? I'm glad I did. This is the first in a trilogy by Suzanne Collins set in post-apocalyptic North America in a country called Panem, that is made of 12 Districts, and each year two 'Tributes' from each Districts one boy and one girl from the ages of 12-18 are sent to the Capitol where they must partake in a grueling battle for survival called The Hunger Games. Each Tribute is trained privately and let loose in the 'Arena' where they must ultimately kill each other until only 1 tribute remains standing and pronounced the winner. We meet Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers to take part in The Hunger Games instead of her 12 year old sister Prim, who was originally chosen. Along with Katniss is boy tribute Peeta Mellark the bakers son. Both Katniss and Peeta head to the Capitol, where they realise that only one of them can survive. When I first started reading this book I was so sickened by the idea of all these teenagers killing each other off, just for the entertainment of the residents of the Capitol. Ultimately this comes down to survival. I was on the edge of my seat when reading this book. I'm trying to grow my nails, so it was really hard to try not to bite them whilst reading this, safe to say the inside of my cheek has seen better days. I loved our two main characters, Katniss with her strenght and will power, and knowledge of how to survive in the wild from hunting in the forest everyday back in District 12. Peeta, the bakers son who doesn't really have any kind of skill, except for camoflague (thanks to icing cakes) and his upper body strength, but ultimately this is a duo who are set on surviving the next ardious weeks of their young lives. God this review sucks. Anyway, I think that's all I can say about this book. Except that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, and I can't wait to continue with Catching Fire. Read it! :) Comments

Looking for any family related to Louise C. Dewar b Oct 1861 at Brudnell Mills, PEI. Left for America and married Albert E Andrews. My Mother-in-law, Barabara Robinson , remembers going to PEI as a girl to see her Grandmother. I went myself in the late 1980's and met a man at a cemetery who showed me a statue with an Oak tree that was spilt during a duel between two Dewar brothers. Does this sound familar to any PEI Dewars out there? Thanks for any help, working on a family tree for my Grandaughter Una.

Justin Bieber was on the receiving end of the kind of hate-filled bullying that has made headlines recently --- during a laser tag match Friday night, he defended himself from an aggressive kid who referred to Bieber as a "faggot" ... sources close to the investigation tell TMZ.
We're told that during the game of laser tag, one kid went out of his way to target Justin repeatedly (a violation of the code of honor of laser tag, if there is such a thing).
Sources say that Bieber became frustrated when the kid cornered him and wouldn't stop shooting and when Bieber told him, "That's enough" ... the kid responded, "What are you gonna do about it, faggot?"
We're told a shocked Bieber replied, "Excuse me?" Sources say the other kid responded, "You're a faggot" and then put his hand out toward Bieber and Bieber pushed it away as he left.
Contrary to several news reports, we're told Bieber never struck the other boy.
Law enforcement tells TMZ it was the boy's father who filed the complaint hours later ... and our source says the father was heard at the scene repeatedly telling people, "I'm a lawyer."
The police investigation is ongoing, but our sources say police already know the fault does not lie with Bieber.
Anyway, you people need to calm the f*ck down. Every time someone says something about gays you get all up in arms. Where did we get you wimps from? no one can say a word in this country unless we are bigots, homophobes, e.t.c. And by the way, who in the f8ck made you asses the moral police? Start manning up in this country, you frigging wimps.
Calling someone that in and of itself dosen't mean you are homophobic. We all called each other those names as kids and we weren't thinking about gays. It was just to get someone to respond
And if he put his hands on the guy, well, it was an assault, regardless of what the guy said.
I understand exactly what Justin has to go through, and he will be dealing with crap like this his whole life.
The Dad that proudly announced he was a lawyer needs to be slapped with a lawsuit for not teaching his son to not call people the F word. Also, the piece of sh*t son needs to be in jail for a hate crime, and for bullying and for threatening as when you corner someone that is basically holding someone against their will. Shame on the dad for announcing who he was, we can see he is a D!*k for sure, and his son is no better.
Even straight guys have to be called this and we need to change this now where we call people things like this.
F*** jUSTIN BEAVER... HE IS GAY..
Bieber can do no wrong. Bieber was probably winning 100 to 1. Bieber shoots lasers out of his eyes.
I don't like Bieber but nobody should have to be subjected to any form of bullying...for any reason.
This just goes to show just how bad the bullying situation is.
Doesn't matter if The Bieb is gay, straight or bi...bullies have no place in our society.
The Biebster should have punch that 12 yr old teeth out. Give his psycho dad really something to sue about. UGH!
I really do feel homophobic bullying is a true sign of weakness on the part of punks. But I will say this -- Bieber's recent release of his own line of nail polish give's these idiots grist for the mill.
Haha.. How much did SCOOTER pay you guys to spin this story? I'm sorry but that is not homophobic bullying unless Bieber is gay. It's one kid acting like a jerk to another kid with a greedy father butting in.
So those of you think it is funny that he is bullied by a 12 year old, but in the same breath are bullying him. How old are you? 20, 30, 40 or older? So you think it is fine for him to be bullied by someone your age? Sitting there all big and bad in front of your computer!! You are all full of bullysh*t!

I could not agree with you more.
Where was the supervision at the place? Sounds like Justin has a suit against the establishment and deservedly so.
"justsayin" It is not just "name calling" anymore, you can be KILLED for being gay nowadays, it is much more now, and treating it is "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me" but actually, words to hurt in this case, because the name calling has LEAD to other more serious consequences for its victims. Gay people are being tormented nowadays even in their own gay bars, a place they want to sit and relax and be themselves and phobes are knocking on their doors now getting in THEIR beeswax. One day maybe you will have a gay child, us straight people are the ones that are producing the gay children so if you do, hope you will love your child as much if they are gay as you would if they were straight. And hope you don't teach them that they NEED to put up with someone calling them the F word, because NO ONE should have to put up with being harassed. No one.
