Cell, unlisted numbers not included in village's rapid alert system
But residents can have themselves added in
Greendale - Should disaster strike, the village now has the ability to quickly call its residents and businesses to deliver information essential to staying safe and sound.
The newly installed Reverse 911 Community Telephone Notification System can call 1,000 phones and play a message - specially recorded by local police with essential information about the situation - in one minute flat.
However, the system's current database of phone numbers could leave some residents in the dark during an emergency: cell phone numbers, unlisted numbers or numbers for Voice-over-Internet users aren't included.
Numbers can be added
Greendale residents and business owners whose numbers aren't in the existing database can have their information manually added. All they need to do is fill out a registration form online or at the Police Department.
Phone numbers will be linked to a specific address. Since emergency personnel expect to use the Reverse 911 system to contact people in specific neighborhoods about localized emergencies, the address a number is linked to will determine which notifications a person receives.
Police officials recommend that people who have recently moved into Greendale register with the system and said visitors can register for a given time period.
The system can deliver text messages to TTY/TDD devices as well.
How it works
In the event of an emergency, police personnel will identify the affected area and record a message that describes the situation and recommends the protective actions. The Reverse 911 system can automatically call all telephone numbers within that geographic area recorded in its database and deliver the recorded message.
It may be used to communicate information about emergency evacuations, missing person alerts, natural disaster alerts, hazardous material leaks, neighborhood emergency incidents and more.
How to subscribe
HEAD ONLINE: Registration forms are available on Greendale.org.
GO IN PERSON: Pick up a registration form at the Greendale Police Department, 5911 W. Grange Ave.
LEARN MORE: Call the Police Department at (414) 423-2121.

Mayor says shooters will ruin north coast
The Byron Shire Mayor says allowing hunting in north coast national parks will damage the region's reputation.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
New hunting legislation has been passed by both houses of parliament, although the bill was amended to prohibit hunting on council land, and stop amateur hunters getting access to semi-automatic weapons.
Jan Barham spoke against the bill in her role as a Greens' MLC.
She says recreational hunting doesn't suit the region's image.
"We're renowned for having an amazing natural environment, we encourage people to come from all over the world to our national parks and enjoy that experience of being in nature and appreciating our biodiversity," she said.
"They might turn up one day and there'll be a sign there saying parks closed for shooting.
"This is not a good message for our reputation as being a natural wonderland."
Cr Barham says she expects north coast residents to defy new laws that make it illegal to interfere with authorised hunters in national parks.
She says protests helped to create many local national parks.
"This is an insult to the north coast where the only reason we have our wonderful protected areas is because people stood up and protested against the outrageous acts of culling old growth forests," she said.
"I think we'll see a bit of activity on the north coast when this happens and if it means it's an offense and there are arrests I think that's what people will stand up for."

Upcoming Event
Former Techcrunch editor to take over Demo show
- Cromwell Schubarth
- Senior Technology Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
TechCrunch hasn't buried the Demo startup expo, as was boasted several years ago, and its former editor Erick Schonfeld is taking over the rival conference.
Schonfeld, who left TechCrunch in February, said he hopes to revamp the show when he takes over for its 2013 shows.
Owned by IDG, Demo has been run by Venturebeat editor in chief Matt Marshall for the past three years. His last show is set for Oct. 1 to Oct. 3 in Santa Clara.
Demo was begun in the 1990s and became the top startup show during that decade's tech run-up but it never regained its shine after the bubble burst and a number of incubators and rival shows came on the scene.
TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington boasted when he started his rival expo that, "Demo needs to die."
But it didn't and now a former TechCrunch editor is taking over, promising to pump new vigor into the show.
Both shows try to confine participants to startups that are launching at the show, but that standard has been stretched thin in recent years as many startups are being launched out of incubators like Plug and Play and accelerators like Y Combinator which do their own launch events.
"It's never been easier to start a company or create a new product," Schonfeld said in a prepared statement. "I want to find the ones that will define the way we will live and work in the years to come, and reveal them first onstage at Demo."
Before TechCrunch, Schonfeld worked at Fortune magazine and Business 2.0.
"It's been a great three years, and I couldn't be leaving this in better hands," Marshall said in another prepared statement.
Demo is owned by International Data Group.

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review - The Motherboard
We check out the latest ROG board from ASUS sporting the latest and greatest chipset from Intel, the Z68. Let's check out the Maximus IV Extreme-Z!The Motherboard
Looking at the board, you don't have any real surprises as the Maximus IV Extreme-Z looks like the non Z version and other ROG boards with the black and red color scheme. We also get a good idea of the layout that's going on, but let's move in a little closer to see just exactly what we're dealing with here.
Looking at the PCI-E side of things, you can see we've got a single PCIe x1, single PCIe x4 and four PCIe x16 slots. While the board carries with it the NF200 chip, when running two cards in CrossFire / SLI, those cards will run at x8 / x8. ASUS says this is because x8 / x8 is faster due to the lack of latency which exists when you start to go through the NF200 chip. For more information on this, I highly recommend you look at our own testing which yielded some interesting results.
Outside of two cards, if you move to a three card configuration the setup is x8 / x16 / x16 and this is when we see the NF200 capabilities come into play. Normally a three card setup with a NF200 chip would run at x8 / x8 / x16, so the decision behind what ASUS has done seems to be extremely smart.
Also worth mentioning around here is above the top slot we've got a Molex connector which ASUS recommend you use if you're going for a three card setup. Just above that we also have a little red header which is a USB 3.0 header.
Moving away from the PCI-E slots and getting into the bottom of the board, we can see another Molex connector on the far left. This will help give some more power to the board if you're opting for a multi VGA setup. Next to that we've got a bunch of headers including; front panel audio, system fans and four USB 2.0 headers. Next to those headers we've got our front panel header and a little switch which gives us the ability to switch between the two BIOS'. Each BIOS has an LED that corresponds to it and as you click the button, the LED will switch showing which BIOS is active.
Turning the corner, you can see we've got eight SATA headers. We've got four gray which are SATA II and run off the Z68 chipset and four red which are SATA III. The two red that are closest to the grey run off the Z68 chip and should be your first option, while the other two run off the Marvell 9182 controller. Like the Maximus IV Extreme, I would've liked to have seen ASUS use maybe a different color for the Marvel instead of being the same red as the Intel based ones, but it's not the end of the world. You'll just want to make sure you're using the Intel controlled SATA III ports ideally.

This thread that i just made pissed the draconians off big time!
link to www.godlikeproductions.com
The moment i typed the title i got a strong headache! and was unable to continue further for few minutes, i became aware that i was being monitored and felt the anger and fear of the draconians that the thread i was about to make might come across a hacker who can GET THE JOB DONE!
I could feel their fear and thinking of that possibility made me so excited man!
There are people like lunar agents "john lear" saying "there's nothing you can do about it, love your family live happy and get slaughtered smiling, or dig holes to hide don't attempt to stop or change your owners plans just try to survive through them so they can still have plenty of slaves to use after etc etc" and then there's people who can think and come up with actual solutions! Thats how i wanna be and when i remember how hard they hit me the moment i started that above thread it gave me big motivation that we can stop them and even punish these fuckers right from this very earthly dimension!
Anonymous Coward 26659754
your thread pissed off the cronians? you think they'd monitor this site and a thread?
and then attack you? lol they are probably living the best time of their lives, don't give yourself too much importance lol.
and also, why do you call the illuminati 'our owners', trying to program people? that the are their owners? why can't you just call them illuminati? or draconians? or abuse them? why owners?
they are maybe your owner, this OP's owner, but not mine for sure!
Anonymous Coward 21385997
censorship happens every day to those that are aware in a thousand ways. Some so seemingly small, it would be "crazy" to think it is important, but all of those little cuts will lead to massive bleeding and your power becomes depleted and your ability to fight back is lessened.
This is why the power structure is always the same, whether its secret government, or a government office job. The authority has all power, and you are subject to their censorship and their scrutiny. It prevents true expression and thought and intelligence at every turn. its is relentless.

As the Clippers faced off against the Golden State Warriors in an NBA playoff game Sunday, basketball fans and bystanders across Los Angeles grappled with the racist rant attributed to team owner Donald Sterling and shared their thoughts.
At 1739 Public House in Los Feliz, bartender Curtis Swanson said Sterling had been known as a racist and slumlord for 35 years. He doubted anything substantial would come of the controversy because "he's got more money than the people yelling at him."
"I grew up in the Deep South and old money is always racist money," Swanson, 38, said. "It's no different here. It's just people jumping on the bandwagon."
As for the fans, "they don't realize who they're supporting. He's a slumlord. Unfortunately, it's his team. They won't do a thing. They'll fine him and have him miss some games."
Swanson said that Sterling's comments would not turn him against the Clippers, however. He doesn't support a boycott and will continue to follow the team.
"I love Chris Paul," he said. "I've never seen Sterling out on the court throwing an assist."
Among the crowd packing Buffalo Wild Wings, a watering hole and restaurant with more than a dozen television screens at the Crenshaw Mall south of Los Angeles, actor David Andrew Lesley weighed his words carefully.
"I hate the very idea of this owner putting his young players in a position to choose between chasing their dreams on the court or standing up in defense of their own dignity -- how dare he," the 40-year-old Marina del Rey resident said. "How dare he make them wonder whether they should play their hearts out or sit out the game because this owner doesn't want to associate publicly with African Americans or other minorities."
"Wake up, Donald Sterling. Wake up," Lesley said.
Cynthia Gibson echoed the sentiments of many others in the 64-table establishment, which had called in every available staffer in anticipation of record business for a playoff game.
"It's as though a secret door has been thrown wide open," she said, sipping a frosty glass of lemonade, "revealing things many people had been trying to hide but every black person knows as hard facts of life."
Late Friday, TMZ posted an audio recording it said captures Sterling making racist statements in the course of an argument with a woman identified as V. Stiviano. The Times has not confirmed the authenticity of the tape.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associated with black people," the man in the recording says, later adding: "I'm just saying, in your … Instagram, you don't have to have yourself with, walking with black people."
A second audio recording allegedly capturing Sterling making insensitive racial remarks was released Sunday, days after the first tape was made public.
Some sports fans are still trying to reconcile the billionaire who allegedly chastised his girlfriend for posting a picture along Lakers legend Magic Johnson with the owner who hired a black coach, Doc Rivers, to head his team.
"It's just so out of place for this man, knowing his position," said Stan Jackson, 58. "He's right in the middle of a sport that's predominantly black. It's not like he's the owner of a white-dominated hockey team where he can hide and not have to mingle with blacks. It just does not add up. He's surrounding himself around people that he doesn't really care for."
Jackson described himself as a Lakers fan, but said he appreciates the sport of the basketball as a whole and fear that Sterling's statements will affect the sport.
"It's just bad for the NBA," he said. "I'm worried about how this will impact the league. And it's just bad we have to keep revisiting this shameful sore of racism. We don't need this during the playoffs."
The controversy over Sterling prompted marital discord between Nick and Shannon Kearney in the sports bar at El Chollo, south of downtown.
They had biked there from their home in North Hollywood and had no plans to watch the game, which had just started and was visible on TV screens near their table.
But they still were ready to debate each other.
"It's a generational thing," said Nick, 34, speaking about the comments by the 80-year-old Sterling.
"That's unexcusable," said Shannon, 31, who did not immediately clarify whether she was talking about Sterling or what her husband had said.
"How many old grandparents have you met who are racists?" Nick asked.
"He should have a major fine," Shannon said.
"You can't fine someone for being racist," Nick asserted.
"Yes, they can."
"No, they can't."
Nick, a graphic designer for a fashion company, then added: "The NBA can boot him out. They can't really fine him. People are allowed their views in private."
"I totally disagree," said Shannon, who manages a sales region for a brand of cosmetics. "You don't know the conversation. He said: 'Do not bring black people to my games.'"
"That's a private conversation," Nick said. "He's worried about what he looks like to his buddies and friends. It's the old boys club. But you can't punish somebody for being a member of the old boys club. He didn't say that in a public forum."
Shannon was speechless for a second. "I'm appalled by that," she then shot back.
"I didn't say it wasn't appalling," Nick conceded.

Father knows best
Give pop credit for Wheeler's big turnaround last season
Of all the awards, lists, rankings and other subjective grading done by the Winnipeg Jets and their fans, there was a pretty dramatic oversight from last season.
He didn't get a single vote for unsung hero of the year. His name? Jim Wheeler.
Related Items
Position? Father.
Jets right-winger Blake Wheeler said Monday there was one clear turning point in his view on a season that started out with a near disaster.
Mired in a nothing's-going-right slide that saw him collect just two assists in the first eight games and no goals and just seven assists in the team's first 18, a conversation with his dad opened the road to his spot at the top of the Jets' scoring chart by season's end.
"My attitude soured a bit, I was down on myself. I think it's just natural. You start losing confidence in yourself and your attitude kind of slides with it.
"I think once I got my head out of the mud a little bit and figured out that I could go out there and do it, I went out there and starting making things happen," said Wheeler, who was the closest thing the team had to a point machine over the final 64 games of the season. He had 57 points in playing 62 of those. "Then the confidence builds and off you go.
"(My dad) is someone who never played hockey but he knows me really well. We talked and there wasn't any kick-in-the-ass kind of speech. It was just that 'you're capable of it, you've done it your whole life, you've just got to go out there and let it fly.'
"When you do that you play your best hockey. It was as easy at that. You let the weight of the world get off your shoulders a little bit and you're able to go out there and do it."
When the real Wheeler was finally unleashed -- a Wheeler it would appear the team simply cannot do without this season -- the Jets had a fleet first-line forward with touch whose passion is rarely hidden.
If you witnessed his first Jets goal five full weeks into the season, you know what we're talking about.
"It was a tough start to the year last year," said Wheeler's regular linemate Andrew Ladd. "Claude was hard on him and I think he might even have dropped down to the fourth line for a couple of games. You never know how guys will react to that and he reacted in the right way.
"It was getting back to basics, working hard. He was coming in early to work out and do stuff like that and he battled back to get back to being successful.
"That's a compliment for him. From that point on, he just had confidence to be able to dominate games. When he got the puck, it was like, 'I'm going to dominate and nobody's going to stop me.'"
Wheeler didn't think that poorly of his first few games in a Jets uniform, but the 26-year-old from Robbinsdale, Minn., knew what happened after that.
"Things didn't go my way," he said Monday, Day 2 of training camp. "I didn't get the bounces. I didn't produce points. I think I got down on myself and I started waiting for it to happen instead of making it happen.
"I think that was the real key for me, that once I got going, I stopped waiting for things to happen and went out there and made them happen. That's just a change in mentality." Wheeler's first season in Winnipeg had its other challenges, too.
Later on, he carried elevated expectations, the pressure to produce and to help keep the team in the playoff hunt, all the while facing the toughest matchups from Jets' opponents.
It was no contest which challenge he preferred.
"I loved that (later challenge)," he said. "That's what it's all about for me. I love playing against the other team's top D pairs. I want to be in that position. That's what I've worked for, to get in that position. I don't look at it as pressure. That excites me. That makes me want to go out there and get things done.
"I've wanted to be in that role."
Was it as serious, as urgent for him when he went to Germany to play during the lockout?
Wheeler's answer might be a good omen for the season ahead.
"As long as you're out there practising and playing, you can always make yourself better no matter where you're playing," he said. "If I'd wanted a vacation, I would have gone to Florida."

About The Mobile Marlay
The Mobile Marlay food truck serves Marlay House Pub fish and chips around Atlanta.
In Ireland the "Fish & Chips Van" is a staple of many a town center, sporting event and usually found near the lively pubs at closing time. Many will agree that there's not much better than a good feed of fantastic Guinness battered fresh Cod and hand cut perfectly fried Chips after a few pints! We figured that getting The Marlay House "mobile" and sharing our dedication to great Fish & Chips outside the City of Decatur was a great way forward. It just so happens that this has coincided with the incredible energy surrounding the whole "Street Food" movement in and around Atlanta.
The Mobile Marlay offers a concise menu to include our Guinness Braised Brisket and of course Fish & Chips. You can find us at the growing number of street food events in Midtown and Downtown, or just bring us to your next event!

Straight talking... why sportsmen are happy to pose for gay magazines
Straight sportsmen can't seem to stop getting their kit off for the pink press, says Benjamin Cohen
Related Articles
Published: 21 January 2013
When I bought my first copy of Gay Times magazine as a teenager 15 years ago, the best one could hope for with celebrity representation might have been an interview with the openly gay Boy George — or maybe a straight "gay icon" such as Sinitta. You wouldn't have expected to open up and read an interview with a straight sports star, never mind find them posing starkers for the titillation of thousands of gay boys.
Clearly, time has moved on. This Wednesday's GT features a bevy of celebrities in the buff, and includes, most significantly, three of the attractive new faces to have appeared during the 2012 Olympics: diver Chris Mears, judo martial artist Ashley McKenzie and Luke Campbell, the gold medal-winning boxer.
For Chris Mears, who is straight, his reason for stripping off for a gay mag was simple: to take on team-mate Tom Daley. "I'm trying to steal his gay fan base by doing this shoot for GT!" he jokes. "I have no issues being around gay people. I know people through Tom who are gay and I'm good friends with them."
Mears and his team-mates join a bevy of straight sportsmen who have recently stripped off to appeal to the gay community. They include Matt Jarvis, the West Ham footballer who appeared on the cover of Attitude and decried the lack of positive gay role models in sports, calling on closet players to come out.
In France, rugby players have a unique appeal for gay fans, thanks in part to Stade Français, the Parisian professional team which has produced a nude calendar and an accompanying homoerotic DVD each year since 2001. Initially targeting women, the calendars and the DVDs have now become — almost exclusively — the preserve of gay men, and regularly top the sales charts at many gay specialist retailers. Alexis Palisson, who plays for France, also posed on the cover of gay magazine Têtu in the buff and claimed rugby was the sport most tolerant of gay people and players.
In one sense, the straight sportsmen who appeal to gays are compensating for the lack of gay role models in sport. Just one, England cricketer Steven Davies has come out; former Welsh captain Gareth Thomas is the only rugby player to have done the same. Justin Fashanu, the one professional footballer ever to have come out, killed himself in 1997 after years of abuse.
The straight sportsmen comfortable with their sexuality, however, are happy to experiment with their "gay side". Mears jokes about his grooming habits and says he's often propositioned for gay sex on Twitter, something that doesn't faze him. There's also a commercial imperative too: although small in number, the gay community is typically better off than the national average and prepared to splash out on celebrities who appeal. As Darren Scott, GT's editor, told me: "I think any stars — straight or not — would be daft not to appeal to the gay community. We're loyal, loving and dedicated. It's an accolade to be referred to as a gay icon, although we have to give you that title — you're not allowed to proclaim yourself one, thank you very much."
Gay Times is available to buy from Wednesday 23 January 2013

Editor's Notes
In 1825 in a Somerset village, James Clark used offcuts of leather to create a pair of slippers. After his visionary son took over later in the century, the company was revitalised and created the first ever shoe designed to fit the shape of the foot in 1883. The business grew from strength to strength and opened their own chain of shops, introduced a choice of width fittings and began manufacturing children's shoes. Since then, they've continued to innovate and are now one of the best-known names in footwear world-wide.

The existence of men in the future becomes a matter of grace if it is true that sperm can one day be manufactured in laboratories. Women have been mildly assessing their men since last week's scientific breakthrough, weighing up the non-biological advantages of keeping them on.
It is less taxing to imagine a world without women, because there are more clues, starting with the Bible. There is not much psychological or emotional description from Adam about his bachelor days, which is what must have made them so pleasant for him. Genesis is like any male diary, a chronology of events with plenty of action and no self-analysis. Everything was dandy until Adam lost a rib and along came Eve. She immediately started lecturing him about the correct dose of vitamin C and introduced him to the joy of clothes.
Perhaps because men have a spiritual memory of their ancestral stag night, they find it surprisingly effortless to adapt to a world without women. It is like a Will Ferrell movie: awesome.
If you ask women what it would be like without men, they will respond with a minor fit of ecstasy about a future that demonstrates their exasperation with the present: no more clothes on the floor, no mud on the carpets, no Sky+. In sum, no more constant, small interruptions to life's quest for self-improvement.
If you ask men to envisage life without women, they may give a small, contented smirk. What they see is the status quo. A world of gadgets and sport and lager.
The visibility of women in public life is historically recent and can still look like an aberration. The corporate cleansing that takes place is a male corrective. The graduate intake for companies may be 50 per cent female, but it shrinks to 30 per cent at managerial level and not much more than 10 per cent at the top. Helen Alexander, head of the CBI, said after her appointment that there were commercial advantages to having some women in the mix. Imagine men having to plead the same case.
Without women, men revert to "group think". They share a worldview, similar interests, the same golf course. A world without women is one where men can finish each other's sentences. It is restfully monotone. That is why sentimentality towards women tends to be limited to the private sphere.
Men, and particularly boys, bereft of female tenderness is a popular theme in literature and brims with poignancy in real life. The pathos is keenly felt by women. I read Simon Carr's account of the film based on his book The Boys Are Back in Town with the emotional resolve of butter. The Independent writer brought up his two sons alone after his wife died of cancer in 1994 – their male bravado is touching and fragile.
He writes: "We lived among pizza boxes, videos, newspapers, takeaways, cartons, toys and machines. But to our minds, we were not slobs. We were too athletic, too active."
Boys can have all the fun in the world but still feel neglected. One of Carr's sons finally gives into grief when his father cuts his toast wrongly. Homeliness and order is created by patient attention to details. Motherhood is an endless observation of the small needs of others.
The comic pathos in the withdrawal of the maternal figure lies in the rough care of those left behind. The American writer Dave Eggers employs this orphan humour in his memoir about bringing up his eight-year-old brother Toph, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius: "There are times when I'm concerned about Toph's expression when I'm really singing, with vibrato and all, singing the guitar parts and everything, an expression that to the untrained eye might look like abject terror or revulsion – but I know well enough that it is awe."
A rougher justice is dealt out to the young would-be dancer Billy Elliot from a father who does not know how to combine paternal strength with maternal tenderness. His learnt appreciation of his son's sensitivity as well as his talent is a process of feminisation.
The most famous motherless boy of the moment is Harry Potter, whose strength and vulnerability derives from memories of his mother. The presence of women, even as ghosts, is a relatively recent concession, and it has changed the character of literature.
The critic Allan Bloom argued that feminism distorted our reading of the classical texts. In his seminal book The Closing of the American Mind, he wrote: "Literary criticism concentrated on the private, the intimate, the feelings, thoughts and relations of individuals, while reducing to the status of a literary convention of the past the fact that the heroes of many classic works were soldiers and statesmen engaged in ruling and faced with political problems."
Presumably Bloom would have despised the current feminisation of Trafalgar Square, where soldiers and statesmen must rub along with the private and intimate expressions of individuality being made on the fourth plinth.
Certainly, self-assertive women in the classics are not usually regarded as a positive thing. Medea, Clytemnestra and Phèdre were not contented women. Patience and loyalty are highly prized, but the women who are not weaving or sighing are usually trouble. Helen of Troy is a warning to all men to beware beautiful women seeking self-fulfilment.
A world without women is a world without discord.
When the Any Questions panel was asked about the effect of men being made redundant by bottled sperm, the former Tory chancellor Norman Lamont replied breezily that he supposed there would be no wars. Amazons apart, Boudicca excepted, women may not fight wars, but they are certainly capable of starting them. Elizabeth I may have been accused of caution by Sir Walter Raleigh, but she sent out her fleets, as did Margaret Thatcher. Hillary Clinton fought an election campaign on a refusal to blink and an ability to take a 3am call. It was her male opponent and future boss who spoke out against the Iraq war.
It is true that it is wives and mothers particularly who are on the rack over the terrible casualties in Afghanistan this week. The female quality of empathy makes the nightmares more ghastly. But it does not mean that women are appeasers. Aung San Suu Kyi has been steadfast. Women have played great parts in trying to change the destiny of Iran.
It is unusual to see the same recklessness in women as in men. The lunacy of the banks was mostly, although not exclusively, male-inspired.
There would be some cultural consequences to a world without women. I guess it would mean the end of the rom com, and that publishing would be carved up between Antony Beevor and Jeremy Clarkson. There would be no fiction published at all.
Television comedy is already a male preserve and, despite their polite encouragement , the majority of men would be happy to ditch female sports, except perhaps athletics.
I would be interested to see what happened to the "female economy". You would expect the beauty industry to collapse, but vanity is not in fact a female prerogative and there is nothing new in male narcissism.
I would predict a disastrous decline in fabric shops and a vast monopoly of Homebase. There might or might not be an increase in cars. Would men, free of sapping women, return to their first love of Hummers, or would they be content to remain as warrior cyclists? Could Boris, liberated from the female vote, allow unfettered tall buildings to compete across London? Perhaps men can build new bridges to link them all.
Now that collaboration and consultation can go out of the window, men can reinstate big-swinging-dick offices with enormous desks. They can ditch the family portraits in favour of fantasy glamour models; they can pad around in their old socks and do up their shirts with safety pins. They can watch the Moon landings on a loop on their kilometre-wide plasma TVs. They can start whistling again.
A world without women may seem to men a matter of relief. What they will lose is variety. Even the most fanatical of Garrick Club members must occasionally wish for a different opinion, another kind of laugh, a missing scent. The G8 summit was what men love best, a forum of tremendous importance and dignity. Yet a newspaper photograph showed both President Obama and President Sarkozy momentarily distracted by a silky female backside.
The FT's Lucy Kellaway wrote modestly last week of her new role as a non-exec. She said that the presence of women perked things up a bit. A world without women would be as unexciting as a world without men.

Nonprofit suing over voter rolls in two Miss. counties
Published: May 7,2013
Tags: bench, case, court, election politics, judicial, justice, lawsuit, nonprofit, politician, sue, vote, voter, voter roll, Voting
JEFFERSON DAVIS COUNTY and WALTHALL COUNTY — A nonprofit group has filed a federal lawsuit that claims Jefferson Davis and Walthall counties have more registered voters on the books than residents eligible to vote.
The Hattiesburg American reports the American Civil Rights Union sued the counties' election commissions in U.S. District Court late last month.
The group wants the court to declare violations of the National Voting Registration Act of 1993 and force the counties to update its registration list.
The Walthall County complaint alleges that more than 124 percent of residents eligible to vote were registered, with the 2010 U.S. Census indicating 11,368 eligible voters while 14,108 voters are registered.
The Jefferson Davis County complaint alleges Jefferson Davis County has 10,078 registered voters with a voting age population of only 9,563 according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
The complaint also alleges the unmaintained rolls have resulted in voter fraud, including the 2007 race for circuit clerk.
"Circuit Judge Forrest Johnson of Natchez determined at least 26 cases of voting irregularities occurred in that contest, including at least one instance where a vote was cast in the name of a voter who had died," the complaint states.
Jefferson Davis County Circuit Clerk Clint Langley said the numbers in the complaint are incorrect.
"We are somewhat overinflated, but not to the point of a lawsuit," he said. "The rolls are as clean as they've been in years."
He said the rolls have been purged in recent years from nearly 3,000 extra names to about 400 now.
"We continue to work on it every day," he said.
Walthall County Election Commission Chair William Ratliff echoed the clerk's sentiment.
"This has been an ongoing problem for a long time," he said.
