An interesting book but the author has perhaps overlooked one topical reference attached to Scott and his legacy - his connection with Roman Catholicism and his promotion of a pre-Reformation medieval Europe. See (Open House, Aug-Sept issue 2010) THE SCOTTISH CONVERTS OF CARDINAL JOHN HENRY NEWMAN In the middle of the nineteenth century the traditional barriers between Catholics and Protestants proved ineffective against the first wave of influential Scottish converts; encouraged by the teachings of the Tractarians and by Newman's conversion to Catholicism in 1845, the converts embraced Catholicism with proselytising fervour, tempered by the innate diplomatic finesse of their aristocratic upbringing. W. Gordon Gorman, editor of Converts to Rome, which followed Rome's Recruits (1878) and ran to ten editions, applauded the effects of the conversions, news of which came to him in 'thousands of letters'; 'The intercourse,' he asserted, '[that] this opened between the two formerly uncommunicating camps has resulted in a feeling of mutual good-will and friendliness.' Gorman claimed that in Britain 10,000 people had converted to Catholicism.
One after another, encouraged by Robert James Hope-Scott QC, a network of hereditary leaders in Scottish society changed their religious affiliation to Rome. The members of this 'Oxford Movement in Scotland' were all, whether directly or indirectly, related to each other; Robert Hope-Scott (who had inherited Abbotsford through his marriage to Charlotte, sister of Walter Lockhart Scott and grand-daughter of Sir Walter), having at first used Sir Walter's domestic chapel in the basement of the house for Catholic worship (where Hope-Scott's friend and client, John Henry Newman celebrated Mass on several occasions in 1852) but later added a separate chapel in 1855 on the ground floor.
Hope-Scott appropriated Sir Walter Scott's literary heritage for ecclesiological purposes — in spite of Scott's comments in 1829 that Popery was 'a mean and depraving superstition' and its ritual and solemnities 'absurd' — Scott's visit to Rome five months before his death in 1832 and his presence at the public blessing from the balcony of St Peter's given by Pope Leo XII (who had expressed an interest in receiving Scott) made a deep impression on him.' Leo, who had restored the Vatican printing press and enriched the Vatican library, also had great admiration for Scott (who was forced to cancel his planned meeting with the Pope as Scott was anxious not to fall behind with his travel arrangements). Tradition in the family has it that, if Sir Walter (whose mother was an Episcopalian and who had recited the Latin dirge Dies Irae and the Stabat Mater frequently during the last days of his life) had lived another 10 years, he would himself have become a Catholic.
David, the latest figures for Scotland's population show a slight rise. So maybe things are going in the right direction. I would argue there's a distinction between nationalism and independence. Not everyone in Scotland agrees.
More relevant to our discussion, I'm sure Scott would have seen nationalism and the Union as quite different things. Scott was above all a nationalist. A Unionist, yes. But that was more or less a given for someone of Scott's class at that date and he would have found it strange to have to argue the case. The Union self-evidently represented progress, stability and prosperity for Scotland.
Robert Burns has never gone out of fashion in Scotland, so the author of the article is incorrect to imply that Burns somehow supplanted a rejected Walter Scott. Incidentally, Scott admired him hugely. But he was of different class from Scott and his nationalism was a radical one unlike Scott's. Burns' genius was his ability to speak to universal feelings while being absolutely of his time and place. Which is why he's so popular in places like Japan.
But ultimately it was Scott's romanticism (as well as a tendency to verbiage) that did for his reputation. If a newer, more hard bitten age says romantic art is no longer real but is actually insincere, then it just ends up being fake.
Scottish national identity is hardly a sham. True, it is largely a 19th century invention (tartan and all), but so are most nationalisms, and that doesn't stop them being strongly felt now. One poster called it an amalgam, and that's about right - 'ancient clearances' are as much a tale of Scot-on-Scot as the work of perfidious Englishman.
It should also be pointed out that having a collective chip on your shoulder is one of the best ways to forge such a strong nationalism.
FF Scotland,
No. I don´t think it´s offensive at all.
On a wider point, I think you kind of fall into a trap by just writing "your country".
I live in Spain, and in Spanish the normal way to convey this sentiment is by using the words "mi pais". Everyone, university lecturers through street cleaners say it this way, and in truth it makes me fairly vomit when I have to use the words myself. And as a foreigner I get asked a lot! I much prefer "I come from.." and I think it´s more than mere semantics.
Just to be like the old record that I am: I think the politiicans in Scotland should strive to increase Scotland´s population, which without wishing to be political would be best done within a UK context. Leave all the other baggage behind.
Regards from a very sunny and hot Madrid.
Bloody hell, Minihan. This was the funniest thread of all time until you brought us back down to reality with a thud.
'...you would do well to define what constitutes a country...If it's oil, then the Artic Circle is a country. If it's an age old struggle against England, then Cornwall is a country. And if it's your own currency, then Disneyworld is a country.'
One of the main things British history teaches is that you do not need your own sovereign state to maintain your identity. The Welsh are as Welsh today as they were 700 years ago when they became part of England. And that is an important message we should be sending to Bosnia and Kurdistan and the Basques.
Scott-land is too close for comfort.
Eibbar Snrub: As an Irishman, can I ask you a favour not to insult my country with these jibes of yours. Many an Irishman lost his life struggling for independence. It's been a while since Scotland lost anyone for nationalism.
In all sincerity, you would do well to define what constitutes a country before launching these tirades. If it's oil, then the Artic Circle is a country. If it's an age old struggle against England, then Cornwall is a country. And if it's your own currency, then Disneyworld is a country.
David, when a journalist calls your country and national identity a sham, he's being offensive. Who wouldn't react to that? Hardly introspection I think.
Warming to the subject and some of my fellow bloggers.
Scotland badly needs to get rid of too much introspection, drop the politicians and hangers on who boil everything down to more nationalism of one shade or another.
A rising population would be a good first sign of progress being made!
Deep fried mars bar and chips anyone?
The problem with Walter Scott's novels isn't shamness. It's that they're literally unreadable. Once you have reached page 200 and haven't moved on anywhere in the story (OK, page 20), you inevitably give up with a big sigh. Some of his poetry is quite good though, as well as being a bit shorter.
Scotland is by no means a sham nation. We have a proud and well understood identity that goes back a thousand years. Which is more than can be said for most countries.
And Robert Burns is a genius. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I reject the claim that this is an anti-Scottish article, and I say that as a Scot. No, there are other faults, but bias is not chief among them.
Too often when reading The Economist, the final paragraph of an otherwise balanced and interesting article turns its back on what has gone before and instead offers cheap inaccurate summaries and provocative conclusions. Normally, I ignore this, but identity is an emotional subject... take "synthetic rage at ancient clearances" - try visiting Badbea in Caithness, the steeply sloping cliff Sutherland families were cleared to, so windy they had to tether their chickens, and see how synthetic your anger is. This is lazy journalism, trying to force retention in memory with crass simplifications.
House style. Undoubtedly it is so, infuriating it remains.
And without a byline, the reader cannot bring a judgement on the correspondent: the messenger affects the message and not knowing who is writing, and their backstory, you can never really be confident in the agenda or lack of one in the article. I don't doubt that all Economist writers think with one mind, always.
For my part, the essence of Scottish identity is a mordant black humour, a socialist tendency and a shameful habit of defining ourselves as not being people we are not.
In betwixt the shortbread tins, the obligatory ceremonial skirt-wearing, the Glasgow "Big Man" and any amount of faux tradition - one thing is absolutely clear - without the Scots the British wouldn't have made very much and probably wouldn't have had an empire worthy of the name.
Personally, I loathe petty-fogging flagwavers and fancy dress wearers wherever they hail from - but modern Britain needs an economic history lesson. Not only did much of the brains for Britain's industrial might come from Scotland but a substantial proportion of the brawn too. Don't believe me? Well, do a bit research.
There is a modern myth doing the rounds that Britain's economic greatness up to 1911 emanated from somewhere mysterious in the Home Counties. It is only now that the Scottish economy and its resources are spent that it has begun to be seen more as a state-dependent liability than an asset. Ignorance isn't bliss.
The problem for Scotland is that like many engines of industrial growth and wealth creation it has seen too little benefit relative to its labours. The trickle down effect just didn't trickle enough and now the more affluent service-supported parts of the country are looking to the post-industrial Celtic fringe, Scotland primarily but Northern Ireland and Wales, too, as poor neighbours.
The country is real enough - an amalgam - like all countries. Scott on the other hand is fantasy based loosely on reality but there is as much authenticity in the crazy permutations of plaid as there is in men dancing around bashing sticks together with hankies on their heads and bells round their ankles. The same process of rapid industrialisation that encouraged the English to reinvent themselves is not dissimilar from Scott's rose-tinted glasses - it's just that it took a different form.
Anyone who can get worked up over this should surely depopulate Scotland just a little bit more by means of Shanks´s pony....
The mote in your eye is obscuring most of the world.
Scotland, as indeed England and many others, is very much an imaginary country. To say so is not to attack it or its people but any mythical notions of unity, fed in no little part by the works of Walter Scott.
This article needed and deserved a byline, so why is it anonymous?
But, did you like the book?
Your arresting article on Scott, sure makes me do a re-think. I agree, maybe sham country but certainly no sham bard, altho in all honesty I was never a great fan of his writings.
But you gotta give credit where it's due. Salute, the Bard of Scott-land!
Perspicacity - good word Economist peeps! New to me - I shall have to ask my better half how it pronounced. I do hope it is vaguely phonetic - it feels so nice on one's lips and tongue.
I'm well aware that The Economist employs many 'Scotsmen'. And I note that the Reviewer's name wasn't given. Scotland does seem to breed a low type of person who is willing to denigrate his own country in public for monetary or other gain.
I think in fact there is a two in three chance that this review was written by a Scot. The Economist is full of them.

City officials said this afternoon they will appeal an arbiter's decision to reinstate a Pittsburgh paramedic who was fired after she said she wouldn't be "waiting all day" for a dying 911 caller to walk from his home to her ambulance.
The appeal means Josie Dimon, will remain off the job for now. Dimon, an 11-year veteran who had been acting crew chief of the unit Medic 8 during the 2010 blizzard, was fired last spring in connection with the death of Curtis Mitchell. The Hazelwood resident died a year ago this month while waiting 30 hours for help.
An arbitrator reversed the city's decision to fire Dimon, who said on a recorded phone call, "This ain't no cab service" as she waited near Mitchell's home.
Only a three-day suspension will go on her record, and she'll get back pay for a year off the job, city officials announced at a press conference this afternoon.
"But just the basic inhumanity that this paramedic exhibited, it's hard for me to understand how she can be not punished in some way for that conduct to another human being," said Alan H. Perer, one of three attorneys representing Mitchell's family in lawsuits against the city, Dimon and several other defendants.

I'm modifying Papazian's Palilalia IPA (or just doing my own, but this was my base). I've got most of my ingredients, but I'm looking for advice on additional hops to add, if any, and when. Here's what I have so far 1 lb 40L Crystal 1/2 lb Toasted Barley 8lbs Amber Extract (7 syrup and 1 dry leftover from a previous batch) 2oz Northern Brewer @60 min 1 oz Simcoe (1/2 @10min, then either 1/2 @1-2 min or 1/4 @2-3 + 1/4 @ FO) WL California Ale yeast I'm pondering an ounce or two of Cascade, but I'm not sure this would need it, or when in the boil (thinking 30 min). I'm a pretty big hophead but I don't want to mix hops that don't compliment each other much.
If you want a big hop aroma I'd add another 2-4 oz of hops both at the end of the boil and for a dry hop. Amarillo/Simcoe is a classic combination, but pretty much any American "C" hop could be a good addition (Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Chinook etc...).
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
I'm going to forgo dry hopping I think for this batch, but I'll definitely get some more for the end of the boil, and maybe more in the middle as well. Once I finish my kegerator setup, I intend to do some dry hopping for some batches (ala BierMuncher's method). Thanks!

San Demetrio London

When one of the lifeboats drifted back to the burning tanker the day after, and found that she still hadn't exploded, they decided to board her and put out the fires. Eventually, they managed to start the engine again and decided to try to reach Britain against all odds.

There's a Doll For That: Teaching Kids About Natural Birth, VBAC, and More
If mama ever wants to explain to her lil one how he was born vaginally, while his big sister came out via C-section, there's now a doll for that! Perhaps one of the odder baby products out there MamAmor has just introduced a VBAC doll ($175), complete with a C-section scar and a Velcro opening through which her new lil one can enter the world. The company recommends the doll for tots over the age of three, but mom may want to wait until her tot is a bit older to explain the differences.
The VBAC doll joins a growing collection of anatomically correct toys on the market that help a mom visually explain vaginal birth. From breastfeeding versions to those that also deliver the placenta, here are six birthing dolls for kids.
4 years
I agree; I don't understand why just leaving some things for later is so bad. That's fine if you want to explain to your child if he or she has questions, but is there really a need to show them everything? Even for older kids, these dolls are just creepy...

By AMY WALTER (@amyewalter), ELIZABETH HARTFIELD (@lizhartfield) and CHRIS GOOD (@c_good)
HURRICANE SANDY FUNDING FIRST VICTIM OF FISCAL CLIFF IMPASSE. ABC's Jonathan Karl reports on "Good Morning America" that the $60 billion request from the White House is likely to fall flat on Capitol Hill: "I do not think Hurricane Sandy funding will get done while there in an impasse. Republicans are already balking at the cost that represents almost everything that would be raised next year by raising the rates on the top two percent." Republicans also point out, Karl reports, that FEMA has enough money in its reserves to go through March. Is this payback for Chris Christie's pre-election Obama embrace?
THE MOST FASCINATING POLITICIANS OF 2012. Which two politicians made it onto Barbara Walters' list of the 10 most fascinating people of 2012? Chris Christie and Hillary Clinton. The New Jersey governor and the Secretary of State sat down with Walters for exclusive interviews in which they talked politics, 2016, age, weight, and the challenges of styling one's hair on the road.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: I DIDN'T HELP OBAMA WIN. In his interview with Barbara Walters Christie shot down the criticism from conservatives that his praise for Obama's handling of superstorm Sandy's aftermath hurt Mitt Romney's election prospects."First of all, I didn't help [Obama] win," Christie told Barbara Walters. "I was doing my job … The fact of the matter is President Obama won the election pretty comfortably … I was doing my job as I saw fit to do it. And I told the truth, like I always do. The president did step up and help tremendously in New Jersey." http://abcn.ws/QVYPPH
HILLARY ON RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: 'I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL DO AGAIN.' In her interview with Walters, Hillary Clinton said she doesn't have a plan for what she'll do immediately after leaving political life but that she wants to continue contributing to society in some way, perhaps in philanthropy or academia. But when pressed on whether her future will include a widely speculated 2016 run for president, Clinton maintained that she still does not plan to run. "I've said I really don't believe that that's something I will do again," she said. "I am so grateful I had the experience of doing it before." http://abcn.ws/Rq65ow
If there's one takeaway from Barbara Walters' Chris Christie interview last night it was this: the man is setting up to run for president in 2016.
The buzziest example, of course, was his pushback against Walters' question as to whether he was "too heavy" to be president.
"That's ridiculous," said Christie. "I mean, that's ridiculous. I don't know what the basis for that is."
When Walters' asked about his statement last year that he wasn't "ready" to be president, Christie responded that he wasn't ready for the campaign–a very important distinction. Not being "ready" to be president suggests deficiency in experience–not ready to campaign is simply a recognition of the difficulties of setting up a presidential operation.
And, while many potential 2016ers are quick to dismiss talk of a presidential run, Christie does not bat it down. When asked how he'll feel about running in 2016, Christie simply responds: "I have no idea how I'll feel."
Not exactly a Shermanesque statement.
But perhaps the most telling example of Christie's desire for a 2016 run: he was visibly torn when asked by Walters' to choose between being able to be a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band or be POTUS.
"You could be a member of of the E Street Band or President of the United States, which would you choose?" posed Walters.
Christie laughed, paused and then said: "I think at the moment, at the moment, I'd want to be a member of E Street band. A few years from now, who knows."
Call us crazy, but we're not holding our breath that the governor is going to take up guitar lessons anytime soon.
More from the interview: http://abcn.ws/UV2Owg
ABC'S RICK KLEIN: It's not just a matter of big business speaking. The question is whether it can actually say something meaningful in time to resolve the fiscal cliff standoff. Corporate America has gotten quite good at lecturing Washington about trying to do its job, and few institutions deserve such lectures more. But getting the parties–both parties–to move enough this late, off of long-sacred positions, will take more than platitudes about the need for compromise. We're starting to hear specificity about tax rates and breaks. But if the cliff is truly as terrifying to business as we're being told, the pressure has to build, and fast.
CLINTON ON LIFE AFTER THE CABINET, HER DARKEST MOMENT IN THE JOB. Hillary Clinton made one thing abundantly clear in her interview: she is definitely leaving the Cabinet as soon as a new secretary is sworn in and a smooth transition occurs. "It sounds so simple, but I've been, as you know, at the highest levels of American and now international activities for twenty years, and I just thought it was time to take a step off … maybe do some reading and writing and speaking and teaching," she told Walters. Her darkest moment as secretary of State happened this year when terrorists in Libya attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11th, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Clinton called the attack the "worst time" in her tenure. "It's something that is certainly terrible," she said. "We take risks in the work we do. The people who do this work are often in very threatening environments, whether it's our military or our civilian people around the world, I have just the most extraordinary admiration for them." http://abcn.ws/UEzFkI
NOTED: CLINTON'S HAIRSTYLING ROUTINE. "I do not travel with any hairdresser, or anybody, to help me do that, and I'm not very competent myself. I've been admitting that for years, which should be obvious to everyone," Clinton joked to Walters in a conversation that she referred to as "girl talk." "And so it became simpler to just grow it so that I can pull it back, and I can stick rollers in."
With ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield (@LizHartfield)
SPINNERS & WINNERS: HONEY I RAISED THE TOP TAX RATES. Husband-and-wife team Reps. Connie Mack, R-Fla., and Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., got some bad news on November 6. Both lost their elections and are now leaving Congress at the same time. But, ABC's Jonathan Karl reports, they've got one foot out the door during one of the most controversial lame duck sessions in recent history, and neither is budging on their votes–though they don't exactly see eye-to-eye on the ongoing fiscal cliff negotiations with the White House. Karl spoke to the congressional couple in the latest episode of his ABC/Yahoo! show "Spinners & Winners." Bono Mack says she thinks President Obama and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will reach a deal that she will be able to support; Mack says if tax increases are part of the deal, it won't get his vote. http://yhoo.it/VCpUEN
STATE DEPT.: MISSILE LAUNCH WILL 'FURTHER ISOLATE' NORTH KOREA. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland on Wednesday called North Korea's deployment of an intercontinental ballistic missile "highly provocative" and said the country would face international consequences, ABC's Sarah Parnass and Luis Martinez report. The country's foreign ministry asked that the launch not be "overblown" in the international sphere, but U.S. officials are not holding back in expressing their displeasure. North Korea violated two U.N. Security Council resolutions with its launch of a missile Tuesday night, Nuland said. http://abcn.ws/Z12MYd
VIRGINIA GOVERNOR RACE: ONE TO WATCH. Terry McAuliffe has spent most of his time in politics helping the Clintons, and other members of his party, raise money and run for national office. His own political career has been less successful, although now he seems to have a clear shot at the Democratic nomination for governor in Virginia. ABC's Shush Walshe reports, barring any surprises, next year McAuliffe will be up against Ken Cuccinelli, the anti-Obamacare crusader who in a short time as Virginia's attorney general has galvanized conservatives by challenging the national health reform law and prodding the state's university system over climate change, as well as waging high-profile battles against abortion rights. http://abcn.ws/SThdaq
OUTGOING SEN. DEMINT SAYS OBAMA WILL WIN TAX FIGHT. The AP reports: "a leading conservative who's resigning from the Senate is predicting that President Barack Obama will win the battle over raising taxes. South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint calls it 'a political trophy' within Obama's grasp. Appearing Thursday on 'CBS This Morning,' DeMint says, quote, 'The president's proposal is not a plan, it's not a solution.' Asked why Obama and congressional Republicans can't agree on a plan to avert a fiscal cliff in less than three weeks, DeMint says both political parties have 'failed' the country." http://apne.ws/UFTW9r
SENATE INTERN ARRESTED AS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT, REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER. An unpaid intern to Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., was a registered sex offender and undocumented immigrant and is now facing deportation, a DHS official confirmed Wednesday to ABC News. ABC's Sunlen Miller and Jason Ryan report that the intern, 18 year-old Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta from Peru, who worked in a New Jersey office for Menendez, was arrested on December 6th. The senator's office was informed Monday of the arrest and the senator was informed today, Menendez said. The Senator defended his office's action today, emphasizing that the intern applied, was recommended and vetted by his school for the internship, not by the senator's office. http://abcn.ws/SS635M
WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX.ABC's Susanna Kim reports:One of the most contentious issues in the debate over how to increase revenue may be a difference of almost 8 percentage points, but it has encouraged over a hundred companies to scramble to issue special dividend payments to shareholders ahead of the New Year. It's called the capital gains tax and it's the tax paid on the difference between the sale price of an investment asset, like a stock, and the cost. http://abcn.ws/VDhY5Q
BERNANKE SAYS FISCAL CLIFF ALREADY HURTING THE ECONOMY. The AP's Martin Crutsinger reports, "the U.S. economy is already being hurt by the 'fiscal cliff' standoff in Washington, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday. But Bernanke said the Fed believes the crisis will be resolved without significant long-term damage. The steep tax increases and spending cuts can be avoided with a successful budget deal, Bernanke said during a news conference after the Fed's final meeting of the year. The Fed's latest forecasts for stronger economic growth next year and slightly lower unemployment assume that happens … The Fed took more steps Wednesday to try and help boost economic growth and lower unemployment. The Fed said it would keep its key short-term interest rate near zero as long as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent and inflation stays tame." http://abcn.ws/VCtUoH
HILLARY CLINTON TO TESTIFY ON BENGHAZI REPORT ON DEC. 20. Reuters reports, "U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on Dec. 20 before the House of Representatives and Senate foreign affairs committees on a report on the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, the committees said on Wednesday." An accountability review board convened by the State Department is expected to release a report on the Benghazi attack before Clinton testifies. http://huff.to/SSmiQf
RETIRING SENATORS MAKE FAREWELL SPEECHES AS FISCAL CLIFF LOOMS. On Capitol Hill Wednesday, it was like the last day of school before final exams. With Congress in a stalemate over the fiscal cliff, the Senate floor was reserved for farewell speeches by retiring Senators. ABC's Sunlen Miller reports that the speeches –a tradition for those stepping down or from those who failed to win reelection–ranged from the emotional to the funny, from the provocative, to the odd and the poignant. http://abcn.ws/VBkqdo
CLIFF TALKS AND MIDDLE-CLASS INCOME MALAISE. The New York Times' Annie Lowrey reports, "the income stagnation that has hit the middle class in the last decade is complicating the Democrats' position in the fiscal talks, making it more difficult for them to advocate across-the-board tax increases if a deal falls through…The income and wealth trends of the last decade also create a longer-term dilemma for the party. By advocating the continuation of most of the Bush-era tax cuts, Democrats might find themselves confronting deeper-than-comfortable cuts to spending programs that aid the poor and middle class down the road." http://nyti.ms/VCtpee
WHAT IS A RIGHT-TO-WORK LAW? Right-to-work laws have garnered a lot of national attention in recent years as more states have implemented this legislation that prohibits unions from requiring workers to pay dues as a condition of their employment. ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield reports, the laws are meant to regulate agreements between employers and labor unions that would prohibit the employer from hiring non-union workers. http://abcn.ws/Sh0wsE
SEN. MARCO RUBIO CONCEDES TO HIS THINNING HAIR. Marco Rubio has a lot of things going for him. ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield notes that the freshmen senator from Miami is youthful, telegenic and very popular with his party. But Rubio, 41, has a growing or, rather, thinning problem: his hair line. http://abcn.ws/VWJy42
@ShaneGoldmacher Fiscal cliff: 19 days away
@KateNocera The GOP may relent on paying for Sandy aid. Story w/ @seungminkim http://politi.co/RqXRN5
@Redistrict In my estimation, if every state awarded Electoral votes by Congressional district (a la ME & NE), Romney would have won, 276-262.
@1bobcohn That alleged shooter in Portland lists on Facebook his interests as sushi, BMX, and shooting. http://bit.ly/VDYZIi
@CPHeinze The bonus: @jdickerson dubs Rubio: "The Coalition Whisperer." http://slate.me/UDyvrC
@HotlineReid Ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham has been transferred from a prison in AZ to a halfway house in New Orleans to complete his sentence #HotlineSort
@DomenicoNBC Why is it that senators urge compromise when they LEAVE the Senate? Think Bayh, Lugar, Lieberman, etc etc. Not that DeMint did that, however
@ZekeJMiller Not quite CW, but NBC-WSJ poll finds 56% of Americans would blame both sides if there's no fiscal cliff deal.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Nourish food deserts
The city's executive policy committee acted hastily in deciding it has no responsibility for the insidious problem of food deserts in the inner city and that there is nothing it can do about what it views as primarily a private-sector phenomenon. The closing of grocery stores in poor neighbourhoods may not be something that falls within the traditional duties of city hall, but that doesn't mean the municipality is justified in turning a blind eye.
The fact is the community looks to the mayor and council for leadership on serious challenges, particularly if it is affecting the health and welfare of citizens.
The city does not have to solve the problem itself, but it is responsible for understanding the issue and mobilizing other governments and community groups in the search for solutions, which do exist. The mayor must sound the rallying cry.
The problem itself has been well-documented. With the emergence of suburbs, power centres and shopping centres over the last 60 years, small, inner-city stores of all types -- banks, hardware outlets, shoe retailers -- began to decline and eventually close or relocate to greener pastures.
Food deserts exist in many parts of a city (there's still no grocery outlet in Waverley West and there may not be for a long time, if ever) but the difference is most households in the suburbs have one or two cars, while people in predominantly poor districts often are forced to use a bus, or walk.
As a result, inner-city residents have fewer food choices, and the prices are invariably higher in small, stand-alone stores, forcing those with limited incomes to choose higher-calorie, high-fat foods over vegetables, fruits and whole foods. In fact, that's why some inner-city retailers, much like stores on northern reserves, tend to carry more unhealthy, non-perishable products because those are the ones that are in demand.
As a result, residents are unable to consume a healthy, nutritious diet, which can lead to obesity, diabetes and a range of other problems. The children of such families are also likely to grow up with poor eating habits, perpetuating a vicious cycle.
Many inner-city grocers claim they closed because of poor sales, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were losing money. Another reason for relocating might be the opportunity for greater profits. It would be helpful to know more about this dynamic, since the answer might suggest some stores could be retained with minor incentives in the form of tax breaks or zoning rules that permitted more on-street parking.
The Zellers grocery in the downtown Bay store was forced to close, not because it wasn't doing good business, but because it was taken over by another chain, which decided not to renew the lease. The store, however, sold $8 million worth of groceries and dry goods, which clearly demonstrates there was a viable market.
If nothing else, the city and its agencies should be sharing that information with other retailers that might be quite happy to open a new downtown store with the prospect of brisk sales.
Solutions tried in other cities include the expansion of community gardens, green vendor carts (as opposed to hotdog stands) that sell healthy foods, farmers markets and food co-ops, such as Neechi Foods, which opened recently on Main Street.
New York City established a special commission to develop ideas, such as tax reductions, to deal with its own food deserts, and Winnipeg should at least be looking at a similar initiative.
In addition to long-term health problems, the issue is also one of social justice. In a country such as Canada, no one should have to walk for miles or travel long distances by bus to find affordable, healthy food.
The city should invite the province, federal government and social agencies to help study the problem and develop solutions. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but the savings in health and other costs could be enormous.

It annoys me when I hear our President, elected to lead a REPUBLIC through the DEMOCRATIC process being called a socialist. That is grossly inaccurate, and… Read full post »

As We March into Fall
We are officially into fall today as the Autumnal Equinox occurred in the night, and my hometown is anticipating a high temperature of 99ºF this afternoon. We haven't seen a drop of rain in weeks and, all over town, shrubs and trees are shriveling up and dying. This time it seems… Read full post »

The Anger Quotient
How is it that those who profess and call themselves Christian can be so vitriolic about anyone who disagrees with them? I am, of course, speaking of the Tea Party and its ilk.

"(Name), I wouldn't try it." your Danish friend Matias laughed, while chugging down the last bit of beer in his mug. "He doesn't care."
"Of course he will!" you protested, clicking to the site you were looking at before.
Matias just laughed again, and continued his way into the kitchen in hopes of finding more beer to survive off of.
"He will listen.." you mumble to yourself, scrolling down the page to find different 'Swedish Stereotypes'.
It was or maybe would be the only way to get his attention. You tried before, but it never seemed to work. You'd ask him some questions and maybe have a chance at finally talking to the quiet man.
"Oh Berwald!" you called over, seeing him step in the doorway with Tino and Lukas. "Do you have any time?"
He only nodded his head and grunted, giving you the impression he didn't really care. Biting you lip, you wondered if Matias was right.
"Where's the idiot?" Lukas asked, holding two brown bags mostly filled with beer inside. Probably for Matias.
"In the kitchen." you giggled, watching Lukas and Tino make their way into the kitchen.
Turning, you saw Berwald taking off his coat and scarf.
"What do you want to see me about?" he asked in his usual deep voice.
Staring at him for a few moments-totally lost in a dream-you suddenly blushed and nodded.
"This way!"
Taking him to the computer, you turned on the screen and waiting for the site you were on to pop up. Happily, you were right you last left off.
"I have a few questions to want to ask you." watching him only nod in response.
"Okay..umm..are all Swedish sexy, tall, with blond hair and blue eyes?"
Looking at his expression he seemed practically normal, but who knew what was going on in his head.
"Are you stereotyping my country (Name)?"
You loved it when he said your name, but then you froze.
"Nonono!" you cried, feeling a little bit bad you never told him. "That's the point! I want your opinion and stuff on them.."
He grunted. "Fine."
With that, you continued.
"Swedish are good at English?"
He shrugs.
"Ja, I guess so."
He didn't really seem to care now..which began to make you feel sad. Maybe he was just answer quickly and getting it out of the way so you'd leave him alone. Then the next question stuck to you.
"Most Swedish people are friendly, but difficult to get to know on a..deeper level."
That was totally like Berwald sometimes. Actually not even sometimes..most of the time!
"Look at me (Name)." ahhhh he said your name again.
You turned to see him shaking his head and giving almsot a pitiful look.
"What is the point of this?" he asked bluntly, causing you to nearly burst into tears.
"I..I just wanted you to care." you mumbled, not noticing his reading over your shoulder.
You looked to see how close he was and nearly fainted.
"Read the last one."
Turning, you began to read under his orders.
"The ideal Swede with a family is called a "Svenson". Svensons are known to have 2-3 kids, a golden retriever, a house with a nice yard, a car, and even an RV to go camping often-"
You turned again to meet his eyes, giving you a soft look.
Taking your hand, he then pulled you into a tight hug, which was very unlike him.
"It's hard to be with people sometimes." he said. "Not you. I like you."
Smiling at him, and lightly kissed his cheek, causing a slight blush to rise on both your cheeks.
"I should hope so." you laughed, linking arms with him for no reason.
"There's one other thing." he replied, suddenly taking your lips in a soft kiss.
Different thoughts ran through your head. Maybe he's leading you on..he's never like this. you thought.
Once you parted, he looked deep into your eyes..and narly cracked a smile.
"Would you like to be the wife of my "Svenson"?"
"Are you serious?"
He looked down, as if he failed.
"Of course I would!" you smiled and held him tightly. Of course he held you back, but you were really the only person he could be himself around, sometimes he even acted differently.
He was lucky to have someone there at world meetings from then on, and even at home when everyone was away or acting dumb. Just like he was always there for you.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is truly perfect. Not only is it the perfect size, but made of sturdy paper. So elegant and classy, which was the theme I was looking for! I would recommend this save the date to anyone. I'm so happy I decided to go with this design!"
"I personalized this card with my picture as well as size of text and with the help of the designer with wedding paper divas she zoomed out to where my feet were not cut off. I used the pearlized paper and I absolutely love the sparkle and the quality of paper even without getting the thicker paper. The designer also made sure our url was pretty on there and that it fit. I would strongly recommend this product because my wedding guests thought it was the greatest thing ever and they all range from college students to old couples from my church!"
"I received an email very promptly with the digital proof of my card. It needed some minor adjustments for font size so I emailed back asking if they could fix it. I received a response back almost immediately with the corrected font! Delivery was quick after I approved the digital proof & the cards are printed on good quality paper. There isn't a lot of room to write on the back for an address but overall I'm very pleased with the results."
"I really enjoyed this card because I could personalize so much of it. The one negative was the time it took to upload pictures to the website to try out different looks. Besides for that, I love how my save the date turned out. The postcard is smaller than an average postcard, but it's not that big of a difference."
"Our save the dates turned out beautifully! I love the design, it worked perfectly with our off center photo. The paper is thick, good quality postcard paper and the white/gray design worked great with our brightly colored (blues, whites, pinks) photo. I am so excited to send them to our friends and family!"

The indestructible forces of goodness
A Christian Science perspective.
There is a feeling of helplessness in the face of disasters such as the ones that have brought devastation and loss of life to the Philippines, Samoa, and Indonesia. The relentless presentation of the power of an earthquake, a typhoon, and a tsunami appears overwhelming. Seeing pictures of entire villages wiped out by massive waves leaves an indelible impression of the vulnerability of human life.
Many people in these devastated countries are in great need, both mentally and physically. Their lives have been changed forever. The good they had depended on, such as family, friends, home – their security – has been violently taken from them. They need to feel the love and comfort that will help them regain a sense of safety. They need to have hope in the power of good to bring restoration to their lives.
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Monitor, wrote, "Evil is not supreme; good is not helpless; nor are the so-called laws of matter primary, and the law of Spirit secondary" ("Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," p. 207). As we begin to accept that good is not helpless, that it is a vital and powerful force, our prayers are strengthened. The existence of good is the evidence of God's power and presence.

Ohio Won't Withhold School Funding For Those Skipping Tests
Ohio's superintendent says the state won't withhold funding to penalize schools for students opting out of standardized tests this year.
Former President Bill Clinton delivered the commencement address Sunday at Ohio State University. He urged about 7,000 gradates to work toward solving the world's problems. That requires, he says, recognizing what all the world's people have in common.
Mr. Clinton got a rousing welcome when he appeared at the north portal of Ohio Stadium's field. Then, with ceremonies underway, Ohio State University President Karen Holbrook awarded the 42nd president an honorary doctorate.
"In the name of The Ohio State University and by the authority that its board of trustees has vested in me, I hereby confer upon William Jefferson Clinton the degree Doctor of Public Service," Holbrook said. "In testimony you will be presented with a diploma. Congratulations!"
In the speech that followed, the former president strayed only briefly into politics. Most of what he told the 35,000 in attendance dealt with what he called 'the promise and peril of the 21st century.'
"I could talk to you all day about what needs to be done," Clinton said. "Do we have security challenges? Yes. Do we have the possibility that nuclear weapons could go off? Yes. Is global warming a horrible problem? Absolutely. Do we know what we're going to do when we run out of oil? No. Is Darfur a travesty? Yes. But all these problems are rooted in one larger question. The question is, which matters more? Our interesting differences or our common humanity."
Mr. Clinton said that conflicts between Palestinians and Israelis and the Sunni and Shia groups were evidence of a focus on shelf rather than that "common humanity." Then he used an illustration that he said came from central Africa.
"When people meet each other on the path and one says 'Hello,' 'How are you?' 'Good morning.' The answer is not, 'I'm fine, how are you?' Or 'Hello.' The answer is, 'I see you.' We have to see each other; because in an interdependent world, we really can't succeed without each other. That will be your great challenge."
Mr. Clinton said taking the challenge was a spirit that was as old as the nation. Benjamin Franklin, he said, had started the first volunteer fire department 40 years before the Declaration of Independence. The former president challenged Ohio State's graduates to get involved.
"We can turn the tides on AIDS, T.B., malaria. We can find the answer to avian influenza before it infects large numbers of human beings. We will eventually deal with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, all the other neurological problems that we face. But it will come to naught unless we believe that our common humanity is more important than our interesting differences," Clinton said.
The former president has given several commencement addresses around the country recently and has delivered speeches at the University of Michigan, at Middlebury College in Vermont and at Harvard. He's also been raising money for his wife's presidential campaign.

Bradbury: We having nothing to fear
Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury feels his side "are a force to be reckoned with again" following the 2-2 home draw with Charlton.Goals from Marc Pugh and Danny Hollands put the Cherries ahead after Scott Wagstaff`s opener for the visitors, who then snatched a point through Bradley Wright-Phillips late on.Bradbury, whose team were watched by former Cherries managers Harry Redknapp and Eddie Howe, said: "I was disappointed to only get a draw because we had enough chances to have won a couple of games."But after losing our last three matches we looked a good side again and I said to the players at the end we are a force to be reckoned with again."We have a decent run-in with only Peterborough on Friday up there with us and this squad is so hungry for success we have nothing to fear."I told the players if we continued to play like that we won't be far off by the end of the season. Everyone fought so hard."

Hart secures Sven backing
12 Nov 2007 - 09:47:58
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has been backed for a future at the highest level of the game, following his excellent display in the goalless draw at Portsmouth.
The England Under-21s international denied Pompey with several fine saves, having been backed by Citizens boss Sven-Goran Eriksson after the 6-0 thrashing at Chelsea two weeks ago.
The Swede commented: "He is an under-21 international already and that usually means you can step up. He made some great saves and yet he's still not happy with himself. I know why, it is his kicking.
"I told him not to blame himself for the loss at Chelsea. We had ten other players on the field who should have defended better, but I could understand why he was down.
"It is not easy to come back after conceding six in a match. But he's done it and we were a different side this time to the one against Chelsea. We had to be.
"Sooner or later I have to decide whether we need another goalkeeper. I think it will be later.
"But our season is going well so far and we can't complain about our home form. Away it has not been so good, but this, today, was much better.
"It was a fair result. Portsmouth could have won it with a couple of good chances, but so could we with some of our own.
"Our spirit and character were there, I didn't need to speak too much in the dressing room because everyone knew what job they needed to do and they did just that."

City Made Favourites For Title
City for the title? The bookies claim the trophy will end up on the blue side of Manchester.
Manchester City are 7/4 favourites to win the Barclays Premier League title with the bookies, after they beat Spurs 6-0 before Manchester United drew at Cardiff.City were ahead inside 15 seconds as Jesus Navas produced a sublime finish to stun Spurs, who were never able to recover and were fortunate perhaps to concede only six.United are now 8/1 fifth-favourites for the title and 1/2 for a top-four finish.Arsenal remain the chief threat to City after they bounced back from defeat at Old Trafford to beat Southampton and extend their lead over Liverpool at the top of the table. Arsene Wenger's side are 3/1, with Liverpool on offer at 13/2.The other team in the mix is Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, who also bounced back to something close to their best with a regulation 3-0 win at West Ham on Saturday night.
