ICO power to stop FOI dodgers 'some way off'
Christopher Graham, the information commissioner, has said that implementation of the justice committee's recommendation for his office to have more time to prosecute people who destroy data requested under freedom of information (FOI) is "still some way off". Although it is an offence to destroy information so as to avoid …
Bet the destruction of data happens a lot.
The solution is easy. Come implementation, resubmit the FOI. Then if they delay, they get done.
Re: Solution
The data has to be deleted AFTER you submit the FOI request. It is all about evading providing an FOI response not the deletion of data itself. Public authorities delete data all the time as simple housekeeping. They are not allowed to do so if they know someone wants it under FOI. The key word here is 'to know'.
Rather a lot of data got shredded just before 2005 when FOI came into force. All legit because it was 'house cleaning' as no one had requested anything by then.

Mothers seem to be good at finding tribes. They blog, form Facebook pages, meet for regular play dates, etc…If the plight of early woman were anything like this nostalgic blog post, I would surely miss a communal motherhood as I would miss an appendage. I suspect however, that even with shared laughter the washing, cooking, and caretaking required of early mothers left them just as exhausted as we feel today. According to Wikipedia (insert snickering), archeologists think that tribal structures were an adaptation to situations providing plentiful yet unpredictable resources. Historically tribes were a face-to-face community bound by kinship, reciprocal exchange and strong ties to place (Paul, 2006).
Regardless of the time period in which one lives, commiserating with others who share your experiences is rewarding. This includes those who share your research interests. (more…)

What a nasty little thing. Maybe you can get lucky and get pregnant by Joe. The black boys can have you. No respectable white man could ever touch you again. Not to mention how ugly and totally disgusting you are. I mean there are some ugly women in Oneida but you are in a class of your own.
#2 May 15, 2014
White woman should stick w their same color. That is completly disgusting. It makes you look trashy. White men that are normal an have self respect think that's disgusting. Also portoricans don't normally date that color either. If ya noticed.
#3 May 15, 2014
Her own Daddy has disowned her. He wants nothing more to do with her and honestly, I can't blame him. Even Joslyn's draw the line when it comes to dating blacks. She's a selfish young woman, with no regards to how it will effect anyone else. Her dad tried to guide her and her poor choices have taken a toll on him. Her relationship with Barlow is a perfect example. She was warned repeatedly to stay away from him. She ignored everyone's advise for several years. Instead, she gets pregnant, he's now in jail and she's crying the blues how he abused her repeatedly and she is a single mother. If I recall, she repeatedly returned to him. She's got a big mouth and think she knows everything. Now, her own father has given up on her, because she's gone from bad to worse.

Reservists who served during Operation Protective Edge will receive a 30-day extension to pay bills, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee decided Sunday night.All reservists called up urgently, like in wartime, will be able to wait an extra 30 days to pay for any contract, court order or other bills, without having to pay interest or late fees.The committee authorized the proposal by opposition leader Isaac Herzog (Labor) and Labor faction chairman Eitan Cabel, which they said is not only an economic issue but a matter of values."This is the minimum the country can do for the many reservists who left their lives behind… to defend the State of Israel," they said.Earlier this month, Herzog and Cabel wrote a letter to Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, asking that he help the measure pass."Tens of thousands of reservists were called up for four weeks during Operation Protective Edge. During this time they are unable to manage their personal matters, including family issues and everyday tasks like paying bills," they wrote. "When they are released they will have to deal with many economic and civic problems."The Labor MKs pointed out that the impact is even greater for small-business owners."For many [reservists] these problems will lead to irreversible economic damage," Herzog and Cabel added.

Michael & Dena
In 2004, we completed our first home study and joined Parent Profiles. We formed a group with some of the other adoptive parents from our state on the site and got together monthly. Some of them told stories about how they constantly had new birth-mothers contacting them - of how they would talk on the phone, and e-mail. We felt kind of bad because that was not the case for us. more ...
Stillbirth is a word that is still whispered. The thought crosses the mind of every pregnant woman at one point or another during her pregnancy. The good news is, with good prenatal care your chances of having a stillbirth is actually quite low.
We can only imagine the million thoughts going through your mind & heart right now, & hope that this glimpse of our life, will make you feel secure in your brave & beautiful decision. We would love to hear from you, or you can text us, at (516)415-1170
Many people get stillbirth and miscarriage confused. If a pregnancy is lost before 20 weeks, the loss is referred to as a miscarriage, after 20 weeks it is a stillbirth.
The reasons for stillbirth vary, in many cases it came suddenly in a trouble free pregnancy and in other cases the mother suspected something was amiss or just had a troubling feeling. Stillbirth can be caused due to a severely knotted and twisted umbilical cord that cuts the baby off from life sustaining nutrients and oxygen, the umbilical cord wrapping severely around the baby's neck is another cause of stillbirth. These two ways are virtually undetectable as the cord is nearly invisible and difficult to see on an ultrasound. Other reasons are trauma, severe illness, and for over 75% of stillbirths in the United States, there is no explanation for the occurrence.
Most hospitals will allow the parents to hold their sleeping angels and nearly all hospitals will create a little memento package of your child that includes footprints, fingernails, and a hair snippet with a little ribbon tied around it. This may seem odd or even morbid, but it is a very important part of the grieving process to acknowledge although brief, there was a life here.
Many couple choose to try to have another baby after a stillbirth. Interestingly, the rule of thumb once was for couples to wait 1 year before having another child. Now, studies show that if a couple is pregnant within 6 months of the stillbirth, there is a better than normal rate of carrying the baby full term and having an absolutely normal birth.
Stillbirth is a sad occurrence to be sure, but after the loss, most couples find the strength to bring a new life into their lives and thanks to strides in medical science and better prenatal care than has ever been available before, most couples are successful in bringing a beautiful healthy baby into their lives.

My advice would be to have her eat some raisins off your balls before sex, and state that it's the only way can get an erection. See how she like the tables being turned.

While I haven't dealt with that fetish before, I believe it falls into the category of something that was done to her by another young man and she liked it so much that she's decided that that is the only way she's going to get off.
This works because, in most instances, a woman can always find some man to cater to her wants, no matter how inconvenient, as long as the possibility of sex is there.
So, first, I would point out that she's forcing you to do something that reminds her of some other guy.
Second, none of this is a problem, even without those, I'm almost positive she has the same "pleasure" points as other girls. If you have good sex together, along with the months both of you have invested in whatever relationship you have, eventually she will reach a point where she is willing to compromise and you don't have to do it EVERYtime.
Until then, slowly put her in positions where she doesn't have time to think of those chocolatey treats. Two that come to mind are quickies in unusual places and, after having her stay over, catch her as she's starting to stir...warm her up by kissing her neck/ back (this should also reveal your intentions) and slide in to home base.

There are far more weird and disgusting fetishes. If she starts asking for you to blast some butt-chocolate on her, then leave. If not, I guess go with it if you can manage.

Glad to hear it,they have my support. Am i gay?,No,i have me a beautiful asian fiance,but i'm all for equal rights. Christ preached one thing through actions.That thing was love.No matter what the sexual orientation,race,gender,illness,social class,family status..Love is the key,any "christian" that claims otherwise is just ignorant or blind to the mob mentality. Brown,black,white,man,woman,hermaphrodite..we are all created in gods image and because of that we are all equal in his eyes. Let love speak for itself.

Brady Bunch Comes to Hallmark Channel in January 2013; Adult Swim Orders New Seasons of Childrens Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV::
Here's a story! The Hallmark Channel has acquired the rights to the classic '70s ABC sitcom The Brady Bunch. The timeless comedy will premiere on the network in January, 2013. Currently the series is airing on cable on INSP every weekday at 12 noon & 12:30pm and also on digital broadcast on The MeTV Network every Sunday from 11am-1pm. And NickMom airs the original series What Was Carol Brady Thinking? every weeknight in the NickMom block on Nick Jr. It's basically episodes of The Brady Bunch with pop-up comments from Carol Brady. Find out what she was really thinking! As for the Hallmark Channel, we don't have a premiere date and time just yet but we can expect it in January after Hallmark Channel's annual Christmas programming is over. In fact, holiday movies will start taking over the schedule beginning in early November. You'll see shows like I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, and Cheers take a break for about two months before they come back in January, similar to last year.
The series starred Florence Henderson, Robert Reed, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen and Ann B. Davis. It is the story of a lovely lady who one day meets this fellow -- and we all know how they became The Brady Bunch! At a time when other sitcoms were depicting the loosening of social norms, The Brady Bunch revived the wholesome values found in television's infancy with such shows as Leave It to Beaver. The Brady's blended family unit provides the foundation for comic misadventure as they deal with usually humorous dilemmas related to sibling drama and coming-to-age issues. Stay with us for further information on the Brady's coming to Hallmark Channel! The Heart of TV indeed!
Adult Swim announced it has picked up the hilarious fifteen minute live-action comedies Childrens Hospital, the Emmy(R)-winning series created by Rob Corddry, and NTSF:SD:SUV::, created by Paul Scheer (The League), for an additional season of each. All-new episodes continue to air Thursday nights at midnight and 12:15 a.m. (ET/PT), respectively, on Adult Swim. Season five of Childrens Hospital and season three of NTSF:SD:SUV:: will premiere in 2013.
Childrens Hospital explores the emotional struggles and sexual politics of a group of doctors charged with healthy libidos. Their dedication to their personal lives is relentless, interrupted only by the occasional need to treat sick children. The show's creative team is led by Rob Corddry and fellow executive producers/writers Jonathan Stern and David Wain.

US race relations: The enduring legacy of Martin Luther King
It was 40 years ago this week that the American civil rights leader was assassinated, but his message has never been more relevant, as his son, Martin Luther King III, tells Tim Walker
Thursday 03 April 2008
Martin Luther King III was just 10 years old when his father was shot on the balcony outside room 306, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, on 4 April, 1968. Now 50 years old, he remembers the day vividly. "My siblings and I were watching the evening news at home in Atlanta and we heard 'Dr Martin Luther King Jr has been shot,'" says King III, who will lead a march tomorrow to that motel, now home to the National Civil Rights Museum.
"We ran to our mother's room, and she was preparing to leave because she had already had a call to say my father had been shot and she should get to Memphis as quickly as possible. She didn't know how bad the injury was."
Coretta Scott King never made it to Tennessee that night. An hour later, at 7.05pm, her husband was declared dead. "She came back to put us to bed, and told us that Daddy had gone home to live with God, and one day we'd see him again. She said that when we saw him again in his current form it would appear as if he were asleep; he wouldn't be able to talk to us or hug us or kiss us. But she told us that God rewards his servants and brings them home. That was enough for me at the time."
Only after his murder did King III begin to grasp his father's importance. He knew his father was friendly with some big stars – Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis – but it did not prepare him for the parade of celebrity mourners that descended on the family home in April 1968. "Every political aspirant who was running for office, came," he says. "Richard Nixon came. Robert Kennedy came. Ted Kennedy came. Jackie Kennedy Onassis came. Bill Cosby and Robert Culp, who starred together in I Spy and were one of the first racially integrated television pairings, came. Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Marlon Brando, Charlton Heston. All of the significant entertainers of the day. That's when I realised that my Dad must have been tremendously important."
On 9 April, the day of Dr King's funeral, President Johnson declared a national day of mourning. "I've never seen as many people in my life as I did on the streets of Atlanta that day," says King III. Until that day, he and his siblings had been largely sheltered from his father's public life. "To all of us, he was just Daddy," says King. "Because Mom did most of the disciplining, he was our playmate. When Daddy came home he would put us on the refrigerator and we would jump into his arms. We didn't have a large quantity of time with him, but the quality was remarkable. What I wish more than anything else is that as an adult I'd had the opportunity to have a conservation with him."
On rare occasions, King III and his brother Dexter travelled with their father. One trip he recalls clearly was to St Augustine, Florida, a town where the police were public servants by day and Ku Klux Klan members by night; when it was suggested that blacks should be allowed to use the public swimming pools, acid had been added to the water.
The four King children – King III has a younger brother and sister, in addition to an older sister, now deceased – also experienced discrimination first-hand. "There was a theme park in Atlanta called Fun Town," King remembers. "Whenever we drove past it we would always say we wanted to go in, and Daddy would say, 'Well, you can't'. One of the most incredible days we had together was the day when blacks were finally allowed to go to Fun Town. Daddy took us and we had a phenomenal time. Of course, right afterward we just forgot about it, but later I realised the significance of that day."
Martin Luther King III does not have Dr King's voice, nor his remarkable gift for oratory. Instead of the commanding rumble that inspired millions, his intonation is delicate. He does not have his father's striking face, nor his room-quieting charisma. Instead, he is fleshy and genial. But what he does have is his father's name. And 40 years after Martin Luther King Jr's death, it is a name that still carries great authority, and great responsibility.
"It weighs heavy on me every day," says King. "If I woke up each morning trying to fill my father's shoes, I would fail miserably. So I'm thankful my mother raised me and my siblings simply to be our best selves. 'Martin,' she said, 'you don't have to be Martin Luther King Jr.' I am who I am. All I can do is be the best Martin that I can be."
The young King III didn't harbour ambitions to follow his father into campaigning. "I was like any child. I wanted to be a pilot, a policeman, a bus driver, an astronaut. I worked in the hotel business for a few years after graduating from college, but I realised quickly that, though I enjoyed it, it was not my calling. I wanted to make a difference, not just make money."
But, from re-reading his father's sermons and speeches, King III learned much about the philosophy of non-violence. He cut his own teeth as a public speaker and organiser during his college years, and by co-ordinating the annual celebration of his father's January birthday – Martin Luther King Day.
In 2006 he founded Realizing the Dream, an organisation devoted to tackling poverty, one of the "triple evils" identified by Dr King before his murder. Forty years on, those triple evils of racism, poverty and militarism still loom large.
Dr King's best-known achievements – the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act, specifically – tend to overshadow his later battles, fought in 1967 and 1968, against poverty and the Vietnam War. The latter position made him new enemies in the establishment, including J Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI.
"We've made great strides race-wise, but we ignore the poor," says King III. "Hurricane Katrina showed the world there were Americans living in poverty. Yet even now our federal government acts as if poverty doesn't exist. If we'd spent some of the money we spent on the military in Afghanistan and Iraq on social services and business development instead, then maybe our economy wouldn't be so bad.
"We're still a long way from my father's dream of freedom and justice and equality for all."
Militarism, meanwhile, has run rampant. When it comes to King's views on the War on Terror, Dr King's principles of non-violence apply. "We had the world's attention after September 11th, the world's empathy and sensitivity," he says. "We squandered it. Everyone knew we could strike and knock people out, so why didn't we show the world that when you're attacked you don't always have to retaliate in kind? Maybe we need to reach out, try to understand and build relationships. That's leadership."
King III has high hopes that this year's presidential election can not only change things in America, but also in the wider world. He now supports Barack Obama but on Martin Luther King day in January, when every candidate was vying to lay claim to the King legacy, the great man's son was meeting not with Obama, but with his Democrat rival John Edwards. Edwards, he says, was the only candidate to have seriously raised the issue of America's vast underclass, the 37 million people now living in poverty. "Speaking up for them is not politically convenient," he wrote in a letter to Edwards. "But it is the right thing to do."
Since Edwards dropped out of the race, he has given his influential backing to Obama, the first credible black challenger to join the race for the White House. That a black man now has such an opportunity is one clear measure of Dr King's accomplishments. There have been black business leaders, black religious leaders and black political leaders who have inspired America's African-American community before now, but, says King III,
"Whether he is successful or not, the presence of Obama is going to create a different paradigm, a different model for leadership that tries to be more inclusive. The fact he's able to run as a serious candidate is, in itself, very significant."
The way the campaign has been conducted, however, has not always been to his liking. The media's focus on the fiery sermons of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama's Chicago pastor is, he says, a sideshow. "That issue doesn't feed anyone," says King. "It doesn't help people get healthcare, it doesn't educate any children. We need to talk about race but we don't need to focus on Obama's relationship with a pastor. It's a decoy."
The television networks' penchant for re-running a passage of one sermon in which he cries "God Damn America!" has forced the pastor into hiding. "This, in the land of free speech," laments King III. "People say Reverend Wright hates America, and he hates white people. This is a man who has counselled biracial couples to get married in his own church. Now he can't go anywhere. The Klan said that if he came to Tampa, Florida, they would blow up the church."
King III was in London this week to attend an event, organised by the Arts Council-funded Music Matrix initiative, to commemorate his father. His speech is peppered with humour; he even quotes Richard Pryor.
Today's world is very different from his father's and, as the media reaction to Reverend Wright's sermon suggests, it is one in which his father's apocalyptic style would not necessarily be welcome.
"Reverend Wright's comments should create a dialogue. I don't agree with everything he said, but I've heard those sentiments from other black preachers all over the country. None of those people hate America. For example, someone still needs to explain how, in 12 or 15 years, all of Sub-Saharan Africa somehow contracted Aids. I don't know what created it but there's more to it than what's being said. I'm not sure it came through inoculations and vaccines, but I've heard a lot of preachers posit that theory as a possibility."
King III can be forgiven for believing conspiracy theories. The swirl of unanswered questions around his father's death produced plenty of those – not least a possible connection to Hoover's FBI. After involvement in the public investigation into Dr King's death, his brother drowned at home in an accident that his family still think suspicious.
King III's destiny, meanwhile, was written on his birth certificate. He and his wife are expecting their first child – and Dr King's first grandchild – in May. She may only share half of her grandfather's name, but while America retains its inequalities, it will remain an inspirational one, for at least one more generation.

Poetry is something very personal, in composition and appreciation. So I thought twice about buying (Justice) James Ogoola's collection of fifty-two poems, Songs of Paradise, for review. I'm glad I thought a second time and decided to buy. The book is a jewel, and one to read once and again and enjoy more each time.
Many people are put off by poetry because, they say, they can't understand what the poet is saying. Too often they're right. No such danger with James Ogoola's well-constructed verse and well-chosen imagery. He has also managed to successfully combine the beauty of the English language at its best with aptly used modern idiom – and a bit of tongue in cheek – without doing damage to either.
The description of the Massacre of the Innocents in the poem, Born to Die, provides a good example.
It reads: "In His infancy, the earth quaked in awe, A foxy wimp of a king panicked with fright, Babes in arms the timid king slaughtered. The thirsty desert sands flowed crimson red with the blood of innocent infants.
But He, into a far exile He was led, to commune at the tranquil edge of the Nilotic waters, safe and secure from the desert pogroms." Or from the story of Zacchaeus in The Sycamore Tree: "The altitude that Zacchaeus sought lifted his attitude. He raised his face….and locked eyes with God. …..that very night at supper, Zacchaeus dined with the Divine in his house."
Not all Ogoola's poems are spiritual, but none let us forget that true poetic inspiration is divine, and his point of reference is always the Creator of Man and the beauty of Nature, humorously as in The Orphan Tree, ingeniously as in The Incredible Egg and pensively as in Carnage in Paradise; and they ring all the more true because of this.
Ogoola joins the small group of poets, such as George Herbert, Gerard Manley Hopkins and T.S. Eliot, whose faith was the foundation and purpose of whatever they wrote. In Ode to a Dear Mum from the chapter Love and Life, we read: "For nine magical months, mother, you and foetal me buddied and bonded intensely. You gingerly caressed me, spread your protecting wings totally around me as you delicately enveloped me, sealed in the safe shrine of your sacred womb.
Like the teetering lamb that I was, you tenderly tethered me to the essence of your own being through the mystical umbilical cord………." The Last Journey reminds us that we all die alone, "In the lonely coffin I lie; all by myself in solitary confinement: no escort; no family; no friend - no-one to accompany me on the way…"
His trilogy on the two State sieges of the Ugandan High Court (Rape of the Temple; The Cannibals, and The Cross of Justice); the King and the Ninety-Nine Clowns; and The Snakes, the Spiders and the Scorpions (Kenya's Poisoned Chalice) point out incisively and ominously how greed and violence can take over in our fragile democracies.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
After "Follow Me Home" was turned down by every mainstream distributor in America, a new distribution plan was conceived: It would be booked one theater at a time, around the country, with a discussion scheduled after almost every screening. For the last year this difficult, challenging film has found audiences in that way, and now it arrives at the Chatham 14 multiplex here. There is a lot to discuss afterward.
The film is about four graffiti mural artists who pile into a van and head cross-country from Los Angeles to Washington, with a plan to cover the White House with their paintings. In an age when Christo wraps up buildings, this is perhaps not as farfetched as it sounds, although I imagine they'll have trouble getting an NEA grant through Congress.
The artists include an African American, an American Indian and two Chicanos; on their odyssey most of the people they meet are white weirdos. One is reminded of the ominous rednecks encountered by the hippie motorcyclists in "Easy Rider." The whites are stereotyped in broad, unfair strokes, but then the movie throws you off-balance by throwing in one decent white guy and one redeemable one, and by making one of the painters into a fulminating cauldron of prejudice. By the end, you realize "Follow Me Home" isn't making a tidy statement about anything, but is challenging the audience to make up its own mind: to view racial attitudes and decide where they come from and what lies beneath them.
The writer-director, Peter Bratt, might almost have taken "Easy Rider" as his model--the parts that work, and the other parts, too. Some of his dialogue scenes are too long and disorganized, but then suddenly everything snaps together in a scene of real power.
Consider, for example, a scene in a diner where a waitress feels she's been mistreated by one of the men (she is right). The owner comes out, lays a shotgun on the table and delivers a lecture about their right of free speech and his right to bear arms. What is this scene about? A racist gun owner? Not necessarily, or entirely. The four men in the booth have different ways of seeing the situation, and the scene is about styles of intimidation.
Along the road, the men encounter whites wearing various costumes. There's a white guy who dresses like an Indian; they steal his antique tomahawk. Later, they encounter three white guys dressed in uniform for a U.S. Cavalry re-enactment. Are the soldiers so inflamed that they mistake the men of color for savage redskins? The development and outcome of this scene are hard to believe, but since it builds into magic realism, belief isn't the point. It's about a battle between two myths: the white myth of taming the West and the black/Indian myth of soul power.
A key character in the film, encountered midway, is an African-American woman played by Alfre Woodard. She takes a lift from the guys, and gets angry when one of them can think of no words for a woman except "whore" and "bitch." Her powerful speech ("Look at me! I am a woman!") quiets him, and later woman power saves them all.
The personal styles of the four painters are all different. The black guy (Calvin Levels) is an intellectual, vegetarian and pacifist, who uses terms such as "patriarchal theocracy." The Indian guy (Steve Reevis) is a recovering alcoholic (a little stereotyping there?). The leader of the expedition, Tudee (Jesse Borrego), is the idealist whose vision brought them together. His cousin Abel (Benjamin Bratt) is angry at everyone, especially women. Are they a cross section? No, just a collection.
Watching the film, I resented the broad caricatures of whites. Then I reflected that broad caricatures of blacks were a feature of movies for decades and decades; just their luck that when a generation of black filmmakers arrives, stereotyping has gone out of style. I don't think Bratt is a racist, however: He's an instigator. He's putting highly charged material on the screen and standing back to see what happens. Most movies are too timid to deal in such controversy.
"Follow Me Home" is being shown in just the right way. It needs that discussion afterward. It doesn't come as a package that you can wrap up and take home. It's open-ended. It shows how films can cut, probe and wound. It can awaken a sense of fair play in the audience. And in its fantasy and symbolism, it evokes a mystery level, beneath explanation. Most movies are over when they're over. This one is only beginning.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Redneck Heaven
by Paul on 03/21/07 at 12:18 AM ET
Comments (0)
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
Janssen knew the drill, so he dropped his gloves and turned to face Belak. He was about to pay the price for knocking Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tomas Kaberle out of the lineup on March 2 with a late, blindside hit that left Kaberle with a concussion and the Leafs without their best defenceman.
The 19,518 fans at the Air Canada Centre rose as one to revel in the show. This was the moment the mouth breathers were waiting for. It was redneck heaven, as good as macaroni and cheese and a cold Lakeport with the rasslers on the tube. It's a wonder even the sushi eaters in the platinum seats did not break into a chant of "Git 'er done."

Topic: Planting, Trees
Title: How close can I plant Mountain Laurels to my house in Austin, TX?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:Hello, I'm interested in planting 2 or 3 Texas Mountain Laurels on the side of my house and I'm wondering just how close is safe. I've been told that planting trees too close can damage the slab foundation, but I'm planning on keeping the tree around 10', and since it's supposed to dig it's roots deep rather than wide, I'm hoping I can keep them pretty close. What do you think?
Mountain laurel Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain laurel) can be a spectacular addition to your landscape, and your concern about the foundation is understandable. However in the case of Sophora, it is not a big problem.
I'm going to direct you to three links: the first from Iowa State University Extension tells about plant roots in general; the second, also from Iowa State, deals with Trees and Sidewalks; and the third article describes the Mountain Laurel and its planting and care.
From this reading, you can see that a shrub like Mountain Laurel does not produce the large lateral roots that you find in larger trees, so its threat to the foundation is minimal. Mr. Smarty plants thinks that you need to focus on the top part of the plant. Putting it too close would allow it to interfere with the sides and and eaves of the house, as well as makeit difficult to trim and maintain the plant. Look around Austin for mature specimens of Mountain Laurel and try to visualize how they would look next to your house before deciding on your planting location. Proper pruning as the shrubs mature is important in maintaining the appearance of the plants.
I'm including two photos: one is of Mountain Laurel in a natural habitat, the other in an un-natural habitat.

Teaching And Healing Families Through Music: Can Creative Arts Stop Violence?
in Women
"Music soothes the savage beast" so the saying goes. Many outdoor, free concerts have quelled urban violence and unrest. A song can express deep pain and allow us to blow off steam. There is a lot of pent up frustration among youth, and it is unfortunately acted out in violence towards one another. This Friday, a panel of experts will take a look at the healing power of music as a peaceful solution to the crisis of violence in our homes, schools, and streets. There is a natural way to bring peace, without police, guns, or jail cells. Youth advocate Reba Brown discusses the upcoming program and how we can employ a nonviolent solution to the crisis of violence. Lawton Avery Merritt, author of Lil' Johnnie On The Block, discusses how to help young people recognize how they are being negatively influenced by the music they hear. Therapist Howard Williams looks at the psychological impact of today's music.
