Police Open Fire on Thousands of Demonstrators at Jakarta University
Police opened fire on thousands of anti-government demonstrators at a Jakarta university campus, killing six and wounding more than a dozen others in the bloodiest outbreak of violence yet in Indonesia's growing political crisis. Witnesses said police fired down from an overpass for several minutes on protesters at the prestigious Trisakti University, inflicting the first student deaths in nearly three months of demonstrations at campuses across the country calling for an end to the authoritarian government of the dictator Suharto. Weeping students gathered outside the morgue at Jakarta's Sumber Waras Hospital, where officials said four corpses with gunshot wounds had been taken, this according to the Reuters news service. Police and military officials later confirmed that six people had died in the melee and that at least 16 had been wounded. In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said in a statement, the United States "deplores the killings" and for the first time called publicly for political reform in Indonesia, this after last week when the U.S. Clinton administration pushed through $1 billion in loan guarantees for Indonesia without any human rights conditions.
India Conducts Two More Underground Nuclear Tests
A defiant India conducted two more underground nuclear tests in the desert today, just days after setting off three blasts that outraged the world. In a statement, the government said its testing is now complete, and it's prepared to consider a ban on such nuclear testing. India refused to sign a global test ban treaty approved by the United Nations in 1996, arguing it froze the advantage held by nations like the United States and France that had already tested and refined sophisticated nuclear weapons. On Monday, after the first tests were conducted, the government indicated India was prepared to reopen talks on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, but this time as a nuclear state. In response, President Clinton has ordered economic sanctions, including a cutoff in U.S. assistance to India, though precise details are still unclear.
Israeli War Planes Attack Palestinian Training Camp in Eastern Lebanon
Israeli war planes attacked a training camp for Palestinians in eastern Lebanon early today, killing eight and wounding at least 20 as they slept, according to Lebanese security officials. The night raid was the deadliest by Israeli war planes since the 16-day Israeli aerial and ground bombing blitz of Lebanon killed at least 175 people in April of 1996.
Iraq Sanctions Challenge Holds Protest in Baghdad
Iraq Sanctions Challenge delegates held an angry demonstration outside the United States interest section in downtown Baghdad yesterday. Close to a 100 delegates participated in the protest. They were demanding an end to the U.S.-led United Nations sanctions that have killed more than 1.5 million Iraqi people. Delegates chanted "U.S. hands off Iraq" and "one-two-three-four, we don't want your racist war, five-six-seven-eight, we will not participate." Signs and banners reading "money for tuition not war" and "end sanctions on Iraq" hung from the sides of their buses. Delegates carried protest signs from their own areas of the United States to show the diversity of the group. The group, which brought $4 million in medical aid, returns to the United States tonight. It was led by Detroit Bishop Thomas Gumbleton and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
Senate Votes to Restore Food Stamps to Immigrants
The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly yesterday to restore food stamps to a quarter-million legal immigrants after conservatives failed to derail the measure on grounds that it amounted to a retreat from welfare reform.
Two Former Texaco Execs Found Not Guilty of Obstructing Justice
Two former executives of Texaco, Inc., who had been taped discussing the destruction of documents demanded in a racial discrimination lawsuit against the company were found not guilty yesterday on charges they tried to obstruct justice. Lawyers for Richard Lundwall, the man who secretly recorded the meetings, and Robert Ulrich, the former treasurer of the big oil company, said the acquittals vindicated their arguments that the two had done nothing illegal. But the verdict by the jury of eight men and four women in a federal court in White Plains stunned and angered civil rights leaders who said it was based on technicalities and sent a disturbing message about permissible behavior by corporate officers.
Oklahoma City Federal Judge Rejects Leniency Plea for Fortier
A federal judge in Oklahoma City rejected a plea for leniency for Michael Fortier, the man who never warned the authorities about the Oklahoma City bombing three years ago, but who later became a leading government witness against the two men who were convicted. The judge indicated that he might impose a harsher sentence on Fortier than the 11 to 14 years suggested by prosecutors. Fortier has pleaded guilty to failing to warn officials about of the plot, to lying to the FBI, and to two charges involving the transportation of stolen firearms.

For the first time in more than half a century, the presidents of the United States and Cuba have had a formal meeting. This historic moment occurs with some sadness, however: Eduardo Galeano, the great Uruguayan writer who did so much to explain the deeply unequal relations between Latin America and the U.S. and Europe, died as the summit ended.

Emaar's merger: Will it change Dubai's property scene?
Analysts argue that though the move is a positive one, it will not have an impact on the market in the short term.
June 28, 2009 1:21 by Aarti Nagraj
"As one large body, they potentially have greater control over a much greater amount of stocks. In the future we may see unified launches, unified pricing, and those kinds of things that will have an impact on the market."
So are mergers the way forward for the industry?
Mahoney says that he hasn't heard of any other mergers in the city's property market, but argues that there are pros and cons to consolidation:
"Some people would say that merging has great advantages because you achieve economies of scale. And there's no doubt that's true. But then other people would argue that very, very large organizations have a lot of bureaucracy, and sometimes it's difficult for such large organizations to react quickly to market changes, be dynamic and so forth."
But Mahoney says that the move by Emaar and Dubai Holding is a good one.
"I think if anything the fact that there's direction on what's happening is a good thing. Some of the developers have stalled development on many projects, and there's no real information on what they are doing, and how things are going to happen and so forth," he says. "So the fact that there is now a move and there's been a concrete step in terms of what's going to happen will give people more confidence."

this is a bailout by a govt that is heavily in debt, if anyone in private sector tried this theyd be serving jail time.
It is a great news that Emaar Properties, which is the world's leading property developer merge with Dubai Properties, Sama Dubai, and leisure developer Tatweer – all these are prominent players in a Real Estate sector.
I think I went to school with that girl.
Any chance you can contact me?

Central Southland Bride of the Year competition organisers are hopeful entries for the March 18 event will be as good as last year.
Last year 30 brides and 20 bridesmaids entered the Winton-staged competition, which is put together by Rural Women New Zealand's Central Southland branch as a fundraising event.
Committee member Maureen Hamilton said year after year the competition was successful, with good numbers of contestants walking the catwalk on the night.
"We're hoping to get good numbers again this year.
"I think the brides like the chance to wear their dresses again and I think the public like to get involved with the voting."
On the night it is up to the public to choose their favourite bride and bridesmaid.
Last year entries came from throughout Southland, with the winner from Lumsden, she said. "The brides recreate the day of the wedding, with their hair done and makeup - it's quite a big night for them . . . But it's not all about the dress, I think the brides have got to have a bit personality too - they've got to smile and walk well."
Dress styles had come and gone throughout the years, with most of the gowns now being bought off the hook and following the latest fashion trends.
Central Southland Bride of the Year competition
When and where: Monday, March 18, Winton's Memorial Hall, 7.30pm.
Brides married between February 2012 and March 2013 are eligible to enter.

Chief Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Cymru-Wales, Jim Brisbane, said in a statement:
The Crown Prosecution Service has been working alongside North Wales Police as they have investigated a number of alleged offences committed online in the aftermath of the Ched Evans rape trial earlier this year.
We have completed reviews in relation to a number of the suspects under investigation.
We concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge Dominic Green, 23, from Rhyl and Alexandra Hewitt, 24, from Broughton, with the offence of publishing a matter likely to lead members of the public to identify the complainant in a rape case, contrary to the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act, 1992.
In order to prosecute this offence we require the consent of the Attorney General. We have liaised with the Attorney General's Office and sent a submission to the Attorney General who granted consent to the prosecution.
Both have been charged by North Wales Police and bailed to appear before Prestatyn Magistrates' Court on the 5th November.
One further suspect (who is under the age of 18 and thus cannot be named) has been issued with a final warning by North Wales Police.
Evidence relating to a number of other suspects has been presented to us as part of this investigation and our evidential reviews are continuing.

AstraZeneca to stay independent, 'strong'
LONDON — AstraZeneca on Tuesday outlined plans to make sales jump during the next decade, an effort to persuade shareholders the drugmaker can do well as an independent company rather than get bought out by rival Pfizer.
In a statement, AstraZeneca said investors would share the benefits of a "strong and consistent revenue growth" in which annual sales would rise to more than $45 billion by 2023 from $25.7 billion last year.
The Britain-based company on Friday spurned Pfizer's third acquisition proposal, this time for about $106 billion. AstraZeneca PLC, the No. 8 drugmaker, called that inadequate and said the potentially lucrative "pipeline" of new drugs it is developing would be disrupted by a takeover.
AstraZeneca's revenues last year fell 6 percent, but the company said Tuesday that under its new management and strategy, it is now "repositioned for a return to growth."
"AstraZeneca is completing its transformation and now has the right size, focus and team to deliver on one of the most exciting pipelines in the pharmaceutical industry," Chief Executive Pascal Soriot said. "We are continuing to create significant value for shareholders from our independent strategy."
Pfizer said last week it was considering its options. If the deal succeeds, it would be the biggest takeover in British corporate history. Many politicians fear it could mean big job cuts and a loss of stature in the country's science sector.
On Tuesday, Business Secretary Vince Cable told lawmakers he will not rule out intervening in any formal bid by Pfizer to buy AstraZeneca, although he stressed that the shareholders of both companies make the ultimate decision.
"We see the future of the U.K. as a knowledge economy, not as a tax haven," he said, referring to concerns that Pfizer could benefit from tax advantages should it acquire AstraZeneca.

Apple claims ownership of 'Pad' trademark
Apple has begun banning App Store applications that contain the term 'pad' in the app name. Previously, the company contacted Jesse Waites, maker of ContactPad, to inform him that an update to his application would be rejected because "it [was] inappropriately using 'Pad' in the application name." The company also included its product work mark guidelines, which states that the developer can use the mark "in a referential phrase such as 'runs on,' 'for use with,' 'for,' or 'compatible with.'" Following Waites' rejection, Chris Ostmo, developer of journalPad and journalPad Bible edition, received a similar notice from Apple regarding his apps' names, and emailed Apple CEO Steve Jobs explaining his position on the matter. 9 to 5 Mac reports that Ostmo claimed to have "spent tens of thousands of dollars" on marketing and media exposure for the two apps, both of which will need to be renamed.
Jobs, in a typically brief response, wrote simply, "Its [sic] just common sense to not use another company's trademarks in your app name." Curiously, Apple's Copyright and Trademark Guidelines page, linked to in the initial email to Waites, makes no mention of a "Pad" trademark, and neither does the company's official Trademark listing. Judging by the language in both App Store correspondence emails and in Jobs' response, however, it appears that Apple considers the "Pad" trademark to be under its ownership, and intends to defend it.

I guess Apple's still ticked off about all those Maxi-Pad jokes.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 13, 2010 at 4:41 PM (CDT)
You have to feel sorry for these developers. The "tens of thousands" Mr Ostmo is quoted as having spent on promoting his product, are probably worth a significant amount to a small company. Apparently, using a word first in all innocence is no defence.

"Do not underestimate the ignorance others. "
I agree but problems like this arise when we constantly cater to this ignorance. With actions such as these I can easily see Apple becoming the new Microsoft 20 years down the line.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 13, 2010 at 6:33 PM (CDT)
Sorry, if you at all think Apple is defending, you ARE an Apple apologist. Pad is NOT a trademark, it's a word in common usage both in everyday language and commercial products going back decades. Apple is being the aggressor here, full stop. They're using their army of lawyers to intimidate and otherwise force people to do what they want in the absence of any actual justification. Odds are 99.9% of developers would win against Apple, but the win itself would bankrupt most of these developers so, of course, they have no choice but to surrender to Apple's puerile whims. When they go after the entire feminine hygiene market and win in court, I'll believe Apple is doing more than throwing their financial muscle around.
Apple makes some decent products, but the company behaves like total ******** and *********** when it comes to what they like to believe they control.

Wonder if Apple plans to send Microsoft a C&D over the name of it's simple text-editing app, Notepad?
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 13, 2010 at 9:36 PM (CDT)
Jordan, your legal understanding is incorrect in two ways. First, it's only necessary to protect a mark you actually own. Apple simply doesn't own a "Pad" trademark. Second, the legal standard doesn't turn on any estimation of "the ignorance of others." Rather, courts apply a reasonable person standard in situations like this.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 13, 2010 at 10:01 PM (CDT)
I think it's perfectly reasonable for Apple to ban new applications from using "Pad" in their name. Anyone with any common sense should be able to guess Apple would have a problem with that, and thus shouldn't even try.
However, what's happening here is ridiculous. Existing apps with pad in their name should be grandfathered in. The developers had no way of knowing Apple would eventually release something called the "iPad", and forcing existing applications to change their name is just absurd. All it can possibly accomplish is driving developers away. Not only do developers have to worry about their app being rejected from the store, but once it's in and they've pumped thousands of dollars into advertising, they have to worry about Apple suddenly releasing the "iWhatever" and forcing a name change.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 13, 2010 at 10:20 PM (CDT)
Jordan, I agree. It's their store and they can decide what is available there.
As to tradmarking the word "pad," well, that may be debatable. But even if they can't, it's still totally up to them what appears in the store…
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 14, 2010 at 8:36 AM (CDT)
Of course they can sell whatever they want in their store. But that's not what you said, Jordan. You said, "Apple is merely protecting their name." Your focus was not on whether they have the right to exclude products (a point on which absolutely no one disagrees), but on whether their actions were warranted.
Incidentally, the article to which you responded is titled, "Apple claims ownership of 'Pad' trademark." The concept of trademark is meaningless outside of law.

I'm going to have to write Steve Jobs a letter. Where did I put my notepad?
Speaking of notepad, I wonder if they'll go after Microsoft for having programs called "notepad" and "WordPad" bundled in the Windows OS for the last 10 years or more?
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 15, 2010 at 12:47 PM (CDT)
This just in from Kennedy Space Center…
The US space program has been shut down because Apple is suing NASA for infringing on its "Pad" trademark with the "launch pad." In other news, fast-food giant McDonald's is being forced to pull their Big Mac sandwiches off of the menu, also due to a lawsuit from Apple. Finally, controversy at the nation's libraries is brewing over concerns that libraries will have their funding cut after a petition from Apple to the federal government has pundits on Capitol Hill speculating that libraries will no longer be able to stock books, since Apple has previously stuck the letter "i" in front of "Book," co-opting the use of that word by anyone, anywhere, ever.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 15, 2010 at 1:06 PM (CDT)
Jobs is an idiot. Hopefully he'll be out of the picture soon and more sensible heads will rule over there.

Could the New Orleans Pelicans Contend in the Western Conference Playoff Race in 2013?
This offseason has been an incredible one for the New Orleans Pelicans. They have gone from looking at the playoffs from the outside in, to now having a much more formidable roster that could contend for a playoff spot in 2013.
It all began on draft night when they dealt the rights to Nerlens Noel to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for All Star point guard Jrue Holiday. To me, this was one of the best — if not the best — moves of the night. Holiday will come in right away and change things up dramatically.
Holiday has the ability to score in a variety of ways, but most importantly he can get his teammates involved like they were used to last year with Greivis Vasquez. The thing about Holiday, though, is that he can get to the basket and finish a lot better than Vasquez. He brings another aspect to the offensive game.
Executing a sign-and-trade to bring in Tyreke Evans from the Sacramento Kings was another excellent move for the Pelicans. With Evans and Holiday, they have a back court that can get to the basket and score the basketball.
Don't forget about Eric Gordon — while he's still there at least. Gordon, when healthy, can shoot the ball at a high level and brings a tremendous amount of athleticism to the team. Holiday, Evans and Gordon will be a fun trio of guards to watch next year if they can keep them together.
One of the more underrated moves this summer was the re-signing of forward Al-Farouq Aminu. The young and athletic forward brings a lot of different things to the team, but most importantly he is efficient. He scores at a high percentage and can rebound very well at his position.
With a lot of the pieces in place this summer and of course big man Anthony Davis down low, the Pelicans have a legitimate shot to contend for a playoff spot in the wide open Western Conference. Looking at the lower seeds last season, the Pelicans may have a shot to make it in.
The biggest thing for the Pelicans next year is going to be the chemistry between their lineup of guards. If those three can mesh together nicely, they will be an incredibly fun team to watch. Not only will they be fun to watch, but we may be watching them in the playoffs next spring.

"Went for a girls weekend and loved the condo. The condo itself had nice furniture and was very clean. The kitchen had everything you would need if you wanted to stay in and cook. The pool area was amazing. We loved that were several restaurants in walking distance. The fact that Stewarts Beach is right across the street was a big plus. We had a great time and will be back soon."
"Our family had a great time in this condo over Christmas. The website well represented what we found on site, and it was very clean and prepared for our arrival. We enjoyed local attractions in-between wedding and Christmas events to the north of Galveston. There was a large exercise room with lots of equipment, and fun game room and theater to show your own movies on-site. Thanks for the fun time!"
"We had a wonderful stay at this place, 3 adults and a 2 year old :) The apartment is everything you wish for - and more! A great kitchen with everything that you need, a nice living room with tv and a lovely balcony. From the balcony you have a wonderful view over the pool area and the Gulf of Mexico! Then you have 3 nice bedrooms and 2 nice bathrooms - great! The entire building is really nice and all the people we met was friendly :) We loved the poolarea :) From the building you can walk to the beach and some shops + some local restaurants. You can also walt along the Seawall blvd to the Pier :) The owner was also really nice :) All our questions got answered and we will absolutely recommend this apartment! You`ll have a great time there, and we would love to come back!"
"We are snowbirds and stayed in this unit Feb 1 thru March 13. The condo is very upscale and is in a great location. Last year, we rented a condo from the owners in the same building for 3 months. The owners are super responsive to any problems and this is a big reason for coming back again this year. You won't be disappointed."

According recent figures, one out of every 68 children has autism, and it strikes boys at a rate five-times higher than girls.
Treating autism properly is costly. To pay for specialized education and developmental therapy services, families can spend $60,000 or more per year.
On Wednesday, David Boze welcomed Traci Schneider and her husband John, general manger of the Seahawks, to talk about their charity that helps families pay for the cost of caring for children with autism.
When their son, Ben, was 3, doctors diagnosed him with autism. Ben got 35 hours per-week of applied behavioral analysis therapy administered by a team of five specialists – plus, speech and occupational therapy outside the home.
The therapy paid off, and Ben eventually began attending a mainstream school. Realizing how much therapy costs, the Schneiders started Ben's Fund in 2012 to help families get the financial support needed to provide proper autism treatment.
"Most insurance companies don't cover autism care, and the state doesn't have a program to cover autism care – people are paying out of pocket," Traci Schneider told Boze. "I think part of the problem is that autism is considered a developmental disability, and with so many insurance companies, they don't cover developmental disabilities."
Ben's Fund is a mission of FEAT, Families for Effective Autism Treatment, and provides grants for a number of services, including various types of therapy, service dogs, playground equipment, specialty bikes, pressure clothing, and much more.
Each year, the Schneiders host the event Prime Time: A Spirited Celebrity Waiter Event to raise money for Ben's Fund. Last year's event raised more than $250,000, but the fund is constantly accepting donations. The Seahawks and the 12th Man have played a huge role in fundraising.
"Tell us about bringing the Seahawks on board," Boze asked.
"The Seahawks are our family as well, and have done a lot of really neat things, like donating 10 percent of all sales of Super Bowl T-shirts and hats – also just the way everyone supports what's going on with Traci and myself," John Schneider said.
"We're just doing a small part of what we can to help out families," Traci Schneider said. "One in 68 have autism, and that's a pretty recent number. It's one in 42 boys, five times more common than girls."
"That's a lot of friends and neighbors with a need for a little extra help," Boze said.

I Like Coke
(A reservedly unabashed appreciation of a well-designed fluid by Dan Maginn)
Notes on Not Being Dead Yet
I have an active daydream life in my waking hours—full of intrigue and grand delusion and balloon guns and porpoise attacks. Night time, however, is another matter altogether. I dream in French, it seems, which is odd because I don't speak French. To clarify (sort of): I typically dream in the spare style of quasi-existentialist filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. Aside from the dream I had in high school in which Madonna was my girlfriend (my actual girlfriend! We went to Baskin Robbins and played tennis), my dreams feel like outtakes from Breathless—disconnected scenes involving rote tasks like doing taxes, going to Costco, looking for scotch tape in the basement. Stuff like that.
Last week, I had an especially vacant and eventless dream in which I was able to experience an approximation of being dead. In the dream, I was floating, like a sea cucumber, in deep space. It was a very unsettling feeling, and I woke with a panicky start, alerted by a plaintive "bwhhaaaaaa" sound emanating from my transitionally-situated, pillow-stuck mouth. Heart pounding, I found I could still taste the bitter inevitability of my eventual exit from conscious existence on this planet. And it sucked.
As I lay in bed, three thoughts occurred to me in succession. My first thought was large: That in 100,000 years, I will have been dead for nearly 100,000 years. My second thought was in response to my first thought: That I really, really liked being alive, not dead, and would profoundly miss the people and places and events that have intersected my life-arc when it was all over. And finally, perhaps in response to the grand scale of my first two thoughts, it occurred to me that I would miss the mass of underappreciated life-details that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle of 100,000 years of non-existence. Little things, like the taste and smell and brilliant color of a ripe Florida orange, for instance. Or the thump of a Golden Retriever's tail on a carpeted floor. Or the satisfying click of a mechanical pencil. Stuff like that.
Perhaps because I was sleep-parched from my existential nightmare, I found my mind shifting to a surprisingly specific track: How much I would miss the familiar embrace of a perfectly ice-cold, mouth-stinging, adrenaline-massaging Coke when I was gone. Not wine or beer or scotch, which might seem more appropriate, given my relative adultness. No—I would miss a friendly soft drink.
But not Pepsi.
In fact, it seemed to me that if I were to be granted 5 minutes of actual physical existence 100,000 years from now—5 actual, measurable, not-floating-sea-cucumber-yes-Dan-wearing-pants-on-earth-minutes—that I wouldn't want to spend those 5 minutes with my family or friends or Thomas Jefferson or Martin Luther King. No—I would prefer instead to be left alone, and to have a Coke. Primarily, to enjoy its familiar mouthfeel and tongueburn and mindgrip and general refreshingness after such a long time afloat in the timeless spacegas. But more importantly, to use it as a sense-key to unlock the dozens of seemingly nonessential earth memories in which it played an overlooked but nevertheless important role.
Notes on Coke
Coke is nearly perfect—or, at least, it can be perfect if the right conditions are present. It is simultaneously elegant and ordinary, effortless and aggressive, obvious and mysterious. It appeals to young and old alike. It is the Pixar of beverages.
It is sleek and powerful and full of secrets, beautiful and terrible both. The design of Coke is so successful because it effortlessly balances the seemingly disparate forces that comprise it, sort of like an AK47. We can appreciate it for its advertised thirst-quenching and energy-generating benefits, but we can also learn to appreciate its more sinister side, which we take for granted. Coke is full of acids, and prickly bubbles to help deliver these acids deep into the shag carpet of your tongue. It kind of hurts to drink a coke. And that's ok.
Coke is sweet. It is full of nourishing sugars, plus vanilla and nutmeg and other spices that Grandma used to put in her pumpkin pie. And who doesn't like Grandma? We all like Grandma. Coke is also a wee bit bitter. The sugar is in there, in part, to help mask the taste of the ingredients that you wont find in Grandma's spice drawer. You know, like Phosphoric Acid—the same stuff that Grandpa used to remove rust from his shovel. The gooey stuff he kept out in the barn in a galvanized tub, on the shelf with the ancient cans of paint. You know, the barn—that place where he would drink hooch and strangle the chickens.
Grandma and Grandpa. Light and Dark. Luke and Darth. Pleasure and Pain. Proctor and Gamble. Coke beckons you with its inviting red label... and then hisses at you when you open it, like a snake. Warning you about something.
All this said, I don't mean to come across as a saucer-eyed, logo-wearing Coke booster—I'm not. I'm not a full-blown Coke Person—and there are such people. I reckon I'm more of a Semi-Proustian Coke Afficianado. I believe that not all Cokes are Great Cokes, or even Good Cokes. (I just had a Coke an hour ago for instance, in the Kansas City Airport. It was the size of a truck tire and not that cold and it tasted a bit like jet fuel.) Like anything, Coke underperforms when it's out of shape—but when it's at the top of its game, it can be as close to perfection as a human-designed object can be.
Notes on an August Day, 1974
This I now know: The secret to having Memorable Cokes—100,000 year Space-Cokes—is to Not Have Very Many Cokes At All. To Very Rarely Have a Coke, in fact—but to always be on the lookout for those times in which one should consider Having a Coke. And then, when one of those times presents itself, to Have a Coke. And to pay attention to that Coke, and as a by-product, to pay attention to the host of underappreciated miracles that surround us every day.
I distinctly remember playing baseball on countless oven-roasted summer afternoons as a kid, in St. Joseph, Missouri. After the games were over, we would slap high fives with the other team with pointed disinterest, and then race down to where the concrete-block concession stand stood (running faster than we did during the game, now that I think about it) where a red-eyed, zit-faced 17 year-old dude straight out of Dazed and Confused would supply each of us with a free, ultra-small Coke in a waxy red paper cup, usually with two or three enormous skateboard-wheel-looking ice cubes in there, taking up valuable Coke-space. Those red cups couldn't have held more than 8 ounces, and the Coke itself was gone in under a minute. But goddamn, those were Great Cokes: anticipated like Christmas for two hours in the Gerald-Fordy, pre-Gatorade, pre-Big Gulp heat of the game. Enjoyed for a divine instant after the game. And then, like so many perfect things...
* Editor's Note: A confession: I have not drunk a real Coke since about 1990 (I prefer my soft drinks sweetened with a slug of rat poison). But since this is the week of breaking out of food ruts, it seems that Coke as appreciated by Maginn might be the perfect beverage to wash down John Thorne's Vienna Sausages. If you try the combination, let us know...

This anti-Europe spasm will take Britain nowhere
Related Articles
Published: 08 June 2009
The nearly 60 per cent of votes cast for parties broadly hostile to today's EU now has to be taken seriously, as Britain's political class works out how to deal with the apparently unsolvable European question.
Sadly, Britain now also joins other European countries in electing two racist, extremist MEPs from the BNP. The party leader, Nick Griffin, is anti-Semitic and will join France's Jew-hating National Front and other anti-Semitic and racist MEPs in Strasbourg. British mainstream political parties can no longer dodge the BNP question and why xenophobic politics are digging such deep roots in Britain.
Yet the miserable turn-out, not much better than for local council elections, the absence of any serious policy debate and the overwhelming dominance of the MPs' expenses scandal mean that last Thursday's European poll was as much about domestic politics as the future of Europe.
This is odd, as the European Parliament is important and influential — and will become more so if, as looks likely, the Irish will ratify the Lisbon Treaty.
The European Parliament is increasingly the co-legislator on trade, harmonising standards so that goods can be sold in 27 different nations without different national regulations, and on global environmental policy. MEPs also say Yes or No to the President of the Commission and to its commissioners.
So battling for British interests in Strasbourg and Brussels is what our MEPs are tasked with. Instead, the European election was fought, as it always is, on domestic national politics: thus Britain has chosen to send a majority of MEPs to Strasbourg who do not like the EU, who will claim the maximum of expenses — Ukip's Nigel Farage boasted he had trousered more than £2 million in his 10-year stint as an MEP — and whose main desire is to see Britain move to the exit door of the EU.
The slump in the Conservative vote to less than 30 per cent should worry David Cameron, even though Labour has deeper wounds to lick. The Conservatives are relentless in promoting their anti-European line. But Cameron cannot concede the politics of total withdrawal, which would leave Britain isolated on the world stage, with dwindling significance to the United States, China, India or Russia.
This goes to the heart of the Tory dilemma over Europe. Voters assume that if the EU is as bad as William Hague paints it, then Britain should be out. So the Ukip or even BNP vote allows British citizens who dislike Europe to speak the truth that the Tories dare not utter — that the logical end of Euroscepticism has to be withdrawal.
Every political leader in Europe calls for a better, reformed EU. But to achieve that desirable goal requires engagement in, not rejection of, the European Parliament. Yet in a couple of weeks, the new Tory and Ukip MEPs will turn up in Strasbourg but have nothing to do.
The Conservatives will not sit down and work with fellow centre-Right parties headed by Nicolas Sarkozy or Angela Merkel, even though both did well yesterday. The Tories are pledged to form a new alliance with homophobic Polish Right-wingers and a Czech party whose leader believes global warming is a myth.
This small grouping will be powerless and marginal. British ambassadors in EU capitals are openly expressing concern about a Tory government with William Hague as foreign secretary, in open conflict with major EU governments.
As a result, British businesses and NGOs cannot turn to Tory MEPs to advance their interests. Mr Cameron's isolationist politics turns Tory MEPs into political eunuchs, without power or influence to promote UK plc or any other cause which requires winning support from fellow centre-Right MEPs.
Yet Labour can offer little alternative. Despite Tony Blair's promise to place Britain at the heart of Europe, Labour's failure to make the case for engagement has left Britain as the EU's most faint-hearted member. Blair made pro-European speeches — but usually on the continent and rarely in Britain.
Ministers have seen the EU as a source of problems and irritation, not an opportunity to create new networks of British influence. Blair and Brown have appointed as many Europe ministers as Labour's years in office, while two of Labour's four foreign secretaries have come from the Eurosceptic wing of the party.
Margaret Thatcher spent £25 million to promote Britain in Europe in the advertising campaign of the late 1980s to get Britain ready for the single market. When I was Europe minister, my budget to explain the EU to voters was slashed to £200,000, a derisory amount given the billions Whitehall spends promoting its preferred policies.
Yet while voters and politicians turn their backs on Europe, citizens embrace the EU as never before. There are more Brits living in Europe, running businesses or owning homes there than ever before in our history. Our low-cost airlines take advantage of the single market to make the whole of the EU the place where we shop, drink and relax. Our universities all have thriving European departments.
So while our politics remains more and more hostile to Europe, our lived experience becomes ever more integrated. Indeed even the good showing for anti-European ideology in this election also shows Britain becoming more, not less, continental, as the Continent's nationalist and xenophobic politics cross the Channel to become commonplace in Britain.
Like the great 19th-century political questions of free trade or Ireland, which divided British politics for decades until some consensus was found, the question of Britain in Europe will agitate our political class for the foreseeable future. Right now Euroscepticism has triumphed. But no British government will ever dare offer an official policy of full withdrawal.
Thus we will hear sound and fury over Europe and send many MEPs to Strasbourg with little to do but claim expenses. Until we can reach a pro-European consensus Britain, alas, will remain a sour, crabbed member of an EU in which we should and could lead with panache, confidence and style.
Denis MacShane is Labour MP for Rotherham and was Britain's longest serving Europe minister, 2002-05.
