Washington Road lane closure at Davis Road
Today the Georgia Department of Transportation and Georgia Power will be closing one lane on Washington Road near the intersection of Davis Road to reduce eastbound traffic.
The lane will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Crews will be doing utility relocation work as a part of the Davis Road widening project.
Candidates out in force to drum up votes
Today is the last day for candidates to step up their game for the election tomorrow.
There's a chance you'll see them stopping through your town to win your vote.
Georgia governor Sonny Perdue was in Augusta this morning with the rest of those on the statewide Republican ticket. They landed at Daniel Field to answer questions.
South Carolina's governor did some last minute campaigning in North Augusta Sunday morning. Mark Sanford was accompanied by several of his family members at Gary's Hamburgers.
His visit brought mixed reactions.
"This is definitely not Sanford territory far as I'm concerned," said Bill Griffin, a supporter of Democratic candidate Tommy Moore. "If I needed help Tommy Moore would help me, always has. We're mighty proud and happy for him here and we feel like he's got a chance to be victorious."
"We think [Sanford is] a very good governor," said Donald Geckeler. "He's done a good job. He's a man of his word, I believe."
Tommy more also spent the weekend campaigning. Saturday, he was at the South Carolina State Homecoming and the USC game in Columbia.
Jim Rex, candidate for South Carolina Superintendent of Education, showed up at the super Wal-Mart in Aiken Sunday night.
He announced that he will visit all 46 South Carolina counties during the closing 46 hours of the campaign.
Rex plans to use the tour to show his experience and credentials for the state's top education job.

Town meeting on importance of voting
If the 15 House seats and 6 Senate seats separating the parties from controlling Congress is not reason enough to head out to the polls on Tuesday, the Concerned Ministers of Augusta have something to say.
They'll have a town meeting tonight at 7 o'clock at Antioch Baptist Church to explain why it's important for every black person to vote.
Coming Up
There's a new bedding store in town.
The owners had a different focus in the same store last week...so, why the switch?
Tuesday we'll explain in the Buzz on Biz. That's on News 12 This Morning starting at 5:30 a.m.

Smells Like Teen Spirit
by Nirvana
Kurt Cobain was often hailed as the voice of his generation, a modern-day poet capable of representing the hopes, fears, and angst—especially the angst—of young people coming of age in the uncertain times of the early 1990s.
Cobain himself rejected such talk, and often seemed tormented by the unrealistic expectations that came with his fans' desire for him to become the next Bob Dylan. It's hard not to think that the pressures of those expectations contributed to Cobain's descent into heroin addiction and, ultimately, to his suicide.
Fifteen years have now passed since Cobain chose to use a shotgun to end his troubled time on Earth. With the benefit of hindsight, we can see that Cobain was both right and wrong about his own status as a lyricist.
On the one hand, he was a strange kind of poet, his writings often full of lame clichés and usually bordering on the incoherent. On the other hand, the jumbled mess of his thoughts often did contain lucid snippets that really did speak to people.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit," Nirvana's most popular song, is a perfect example of Cobain's incoherent but evocative lyrical style.
What is the song even about? Sex? Love? Deodorant? Friendship? Anarchy? Teenage boredom? The pressures of fame? Maybe all of those things; maybe none. Cobain once explained the song as "basically just about friends…. It also has a kind of a teen revolutionary theme to it." But that's almost as much of a non sequitur as the song's lyrics themselves; the truth is that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" doesn't tell much of a story.
Instead, the lyrics are enigmatic; they can mean whatever you want them to mean (an effect magnified by Cobain's slurred singing, which meant that many listeners heard entirely different lyrics than the ones Cobain wrote).
But as vague as the lyrics' meanings may be, they do, clearly and powerfully, evoke a particular mood—a mood of unease and discomfort, desire and alienation.
There's the unsettling pairing of "guns" and "fun" in the song's first verse, and the chorus's repeated rhyming of "dangerous" and "contagious" (both juxtaposed awkwardly against the sneering demand, "here we are now, entertain us").
Even the chorus's seemingly nonsensical litany of "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido"—a lyric Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic described as "ridiculous" the first time he heard it—heightens the song's awkward atmospherics. "Mulatto" and "albino" are both words not usually uttered today in polite company, terms that have often, in our history, invoked racial and sexual taboos. A mosquito is, of course, a bloodsucking parasite. And what ties all these things together? Kurt Cobain's sex drive. What does it mean? We're not sure we know, and we're not sure we really want to know.

Homer: "Extended warranty? How can I lose?"
From now onwards any time I see this show I'm going to think of sticking a nibbler up your nose.

That still looks like he's smoking a pipe through his nose…
But I loved the clip. Couldn't find any programs on the tele from MAKE. Are we talking about a weekly show on PBS?

"How To Make Your Own Neti Pot"
Amazing! I thought I was the only person who knew what a Neti pot was. At least in the predominantly English-speaking world.
And then I must say… lol looking at the picture again.
Neti Pots are sold (under various names) in many U.S. pharmacies. Just another item in the Cough & Cold aisle.
judicious use of pneumatic nippers and your sinuses will drain freely all by themselves! no more need for neti pots!
I want one of those pneumatic nibblers!
As if a million voices cried out "LOL", and a shot at marketing/pr was lost :^)
It seems to me that you've gotten away from your mission by telling us that to make simple things first we must invest in expensive tools.
@jdmorse – part of being a maker doesn't mean you're allergic to tools, not all tools are expensive either, if you watch the segment bill shows yellow snip, a manual nibbler and a pneumatic version. this is a spectrum of tools that have different costs, one thing that i think that will happen that's part of the maker movement is tool sharing – maybe it's a place like techshop, maybe it's a public library, but please don't don't say we only suggest investing in expensive tools, that's not accurate.
@PT-What draws me to the maker movement is the concept of accessibility. What the segment said to me was; here is a selection of tools to do this task and the BEST tool is the most expensive and least accessible. Yes, places like tech shop and club workshop improve accessibility, but they are not yet wide spread. This and my previous comment is aimed only at the "Nibbler" segment and not at Make or the maker movement. You are trying to reach a larger audience through TV and this is the message I got from the segment.
@jdmorse – Make: television is more than just one segment you see here on boing boing, explore our site, the community, the forums and everywhere else makers go. i think segment showed bill's project and the different tools you can use with this final one being one that he as a maker thought was best (it's called maker to maker). you can use any of the tools to cut a circle in tin, and that's what bill showed.
all that said, thanks for the feedback – we'll try and make sure we always have the full spectrum of tools for everyone and we'll provide resources on the site so folks can learn free ways to do things as well as find others with the tools they might need.
sound good?
@PT- Sure. I do hang out in makerland, I'm a fan of all things Make, I was even a presenting maker at the 06 MakerFaire. I was just offering up my $.02 on the segment. I thought that was why it got put up. So, what is Mr. Gurstelle doing with his nose?

Frequently asked questions about the PhD program.
This is a 45-credit, post-Master's PhD in Educational Studies with a specialization in Educational Leadership, defined as school (K–12) leadership.
This degree is designed for working educational leaders who can use their professional experience as a platform for their studies and begin to apply some of what they are learning to their school and district settings. The Admissions Committee will expect to see evidence of a current license in an education administration field or experience as a teacher.
The program consists of 45 credits of required coursework. Students will also be required to attend three, nine-day summer residencies spaced one year apart, and complete online coursework between the residencies. The exact schedule of the residencies will be developed for each
cohort. Admissions counselors will have these details at the time a new
group begins forming, so that prospective students can
plan accordingly. In addition, students enroll in a zero-credit, no-tuition Doctoral Study seminar each semester, which provides them with ongoing support and advisement throughout their program.
Over the nine-day residency period, students will experience direct instruction, group activities, individual research time, presentation, and other activities. Students enroll in two classes, as well as the zero-credit Doctoral Study seminar, which will provide additional opportunities for advising and mentoring. Students can expect to have assigned reading before the residency and assignments due during the residency period. Final projects and other work will be due after the residency, and there will be online follow-up discussions and activities. Guest speakers will be invited, who will engage with students before and after formal class hours.
The program is designed to be completed in approximately 30 months. For instance, the cohort that begins its work in July 2017 will complete its coursework by December 2019, with degree conferral in May 2020. Once begun, the program runs for 12 months of the year, although for registration purposes there are only two semesters, Fall and Spring. Students should be aware that to take full advantage of the program, they should be working full-time in an environment that will enable them to integrate theory with practice.
Yes, all students will be required to write a research-based dissertation that contributes to the domain of Educational Leadership. As noted on the program of study, there is a required Dissertation Seminar at the end of the program that provides support for students in completing this requirement.
Students are permitted to transfer in a maximum of 12 credits of post-master's work toward the PhD degree, on a case-by-case basis. The courses must be: approved through advisement; taken at the post-master's level; completed at regionally-accredited institutions; completed no longer than five years prior to the date of admission to the doctoral program; completed with a grade of "B" or better. Students who have received a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) through the Lesley on-campus program and who have taken the required doctoral courses (Nature of Inquiry; Interdisciplinary Seminars I and II, Quantitative Research Methods, and Qualitative Research Methods I) may transfer them into the program as part of the 12 transfer credits.
All participants will be expected to have a laptop computer and regular Internet access at home and/or work. Those who wait to acquire computers or peripherals until they are admitted can take advantage of favorable discounts through Lesley's student purchase program, which is administered by Harvard University.Required and suggested texts will be assigned in each course, as well as articles and other sources that can be accessed electronically for viewing or download. In order to conduct research, students may need to acquire specific additional materials (voice recorders, software packages, etc.), depending upon their topics and research designs.Finally, students may be advised to join one or more professional associations or organizations for the term of their study. Usually memberships will be at student (discounted) rates.
February 15 is the deadline each year. Contact Graduate Admissions Services for more information.
Lesley's residency and cohort programs are generally not available to those not matriculated into the program, as a closed group ensures that there are adequate resources for advising
and supporting all students in the group and that group members and
instructors have a reliable academic experience each time a course
meets. The sole exception is when students from other residency or cohort programs need to join a group to make up a course. In that case, permission of the program director is required.
Please see the tuition and fees page for cost information.
Financial aid is available. Please see the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
Contact a Lesley admissions representative to find out when the next group conference call is scheduled. These are calls that include prospective students, an admissions representative, and faculty and administrators of the PhD program. You may also contact Dr. Stephen Gould, Program Director (firstname.lastname@example.com).Back to the Ph.D. in Educational Studies, Educational Leadership Specialization page.

Men's Health
Multivitamins Do Not Prevent Heart Disease
Nov. 5, 2012 (Los Angeles) -- Don't count on a vitamin a day to protect you from heart disease. A large, well-designed study shows that men who took daily multivitamins for years did not lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from heart disease.
The study followed nearly 15,000 middle-aged and older men for about 11 years. It is not yet clear if the findings would apply to younger men or women. But a previous study of more than 160,000 women also found that multivitamins did not affect the chance of having heart disease or stroke.
Previous findings from the same study showed that daily multivitamin use reduced the risk of cancer by a modest 8%.
"The main reason to take a daily multivitamin ... remains to prevent vitamin and mineral deficiency,'' says researcher Howard Sesso, ScD, MPH, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
"There is no reason to recommend multivitamins for cardiovascular disease. The decision to take a multivitamin should consider its beneficial effects on cancer and other important [health conditions still being] studied," Sesso said at a news briefing at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association here.
Sesso and heart doctors not involved with the study repeatedly said that they fear taking multivitamins lulls people into a false sense of security, distracting them from following proven steps to prevent heart disease.
The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association for the dietary supplement industry, took issue with the doctors' conclusion.
"The opinion that people take a multivitamin in lieu of other healthy habits that can lower heart disease risk is a recurring statement that lacks an evidentiary basis," the CRN says in a statement.
The findings are also published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Vitamin Use Soars
Previous studies looking at the effect of multivitamin use on heart disease have had mixed results. And large trials of high doses of individual vitamins, such as beta-carotene and vitamin E, have generally shown they do more harm than good.

There appears to be an end to to the controversy over the supposed resignation of Lauderdale County administrator Mike Sumrall.
It seemed the board of supervisors voted to accept his resignation Jan. 19. But the meeting minutes have been changed to reflect something else.
"A motion by Ray Boswell was not that we accept his resignation," said Boswell Monday, in regards to his comments during the January 19 supervisors meeting. I
t was during that meeting that Boswell says something crucial was left out of the minutes.
"I said, 'A motion by Ray Boswell, seconded by Wayman Newell, to not accept the resignation of county administrator Mike Sumrall'," said Boswell. "And it should've read, 'Should he resign, we wouldn't accept it'."
In that meeting that Sumrall responded to supervisor Joe Norwood during a heated exchange saying that if the supervisors wanted him to resign, he would. That's when a vote was taken.
All in favor of taking his resignation say 'aye.'
Supervisors Craig Hitt, Joe Norwood and Hank Florey voted in favor of accepting the resignation.
Now more than a month after the vote, District 1 Supervisor Hank Florey says he has changed his mind.
'I did vote for it," said Florey. "I understand. But in the future I'll have to look at it very closely."
Meanwhile, during the course of Monday's meeting, prior to approving the minutes from the January 19 meeting, the board did vote to amend those minutes. Only supervisors Norwood and Hitt voted against this.
"The motion passes three to two," said Newell.
"Simply cooking the books, " said Norwood.
With the motion to amend the minutes passed, and Sumrall never turning in an official letter of resignation, he will continue to serve as Lauderdale County administrator.

Pacific Rim
- Air Date:
- When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Public Relations & Marketing
The West Chester University Foundation recently broke ground on a new student housing complex on South Campus.
The project expands housing at the Village with five three-story apartment buildings, bringing 264 new beds to campus. Each apartment offers a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, and can accommodate four students – each with a private bedroom.
Both construction and operation of the units, once open, will be the responsibility of University Student Housing, the subsidiary of the West Chester University Foundation that builds and operates campus housing.
Total cost is approximately $25 million. The apartments are scheduled for completion in time for the Fall 2013 semester.
The time is right for the University to add housing since McCarthy Hall, a 1960s-era dormitory, is scheduled for demolition in mid-2013 in preparation for construction of the undergraduate Business and Public Affairs Center on that site. That facility will bring the College of Business and Public Affairs' undergraduate programs, faculty offices and classrooms together under one roof. It is expected to be open by Fall 2015.
According to Rich Przywara, executive director of the West Chester University Foundation, "The goal is to revitalize as much of the housing as possible and increase capacity."
He also noted that University Student Housing is moving forward with plans for Commonwealth Hall on New Street at the west edge of the residential quad where Sanderson Hall stood until it was razed in 2010. The eight-story structure will contain suites with semi-private bathrooms and be built in a style similar to the three newest North Campus residence halls (Allegheny, Brandywine, and University halls). Construction is expected to begin in early 2013 and be completed in the summer of 2014. It will accommodate 660 resident students.

I have 2.6.11-kanotix-7 which is a Debian derivative usually running KDE. I
just bought a PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter for the first time.
Does anyone know how to read the card under Linux? Are there any existing
tools I should look at?
It appears I have a couple of PCMCIA tools on the system already, such as
pcmcia-cs (version 3.2.5-11).
And if I run the following commmand without the card in the slot: ..
cat /var/run/stab
... I get the following output:
Socket 0: empty
Socket 1: empty
While if I run the same command with the card inserted I get the output: ..
Socket 0: empty
Socket 1: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
1 ide ide-cs 0 hde 33 0
.... so something is working and the system is recognising its existance.
Only how and where can I access the contents of the Flash card? Any clues?
Many thanks for the advise.

EU-Wide Patent 'Now or Never' as Nations Clash on Court Process
The European Union's first region-wide patent system may "never" happen unless governments bury their differences this month on a court process to handle disputes, an EU official said.
While governments from 25 of the 27 EU nations already agreed on the basic structure of the patent system, discord remains "on all points" concerning the creation of a court, said Pierre Delsaux, deputy director general in EU Internal Markets Commissioner Michel Barnier's department.
"It's difficult to get a compromise if EU member states are fighting for all their concerns," Delsaux told a conference in Brussels today. "If we don't get an agreement by Dec. 22, I don't believe there'll be a unitary patent in a very long time. It's now or never."
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, proposed a compromise deal after governments last year failed to break a deadlock on which languages should be legally binding. Attempts to reach an agreement on an EU patent since 2000 have faltered over language issues. The EU has 23 official languages and numerous compromise proposals have failed to satisfy political demands or risked increasing translation costs for companies.
In March, 25 EU nations agreed to move forward with a common patent system. Italy and Spain opted out of the plans because they objected to the language system proposals. Italy, which now has a new government led by Prime Minister Mario Monti, is considering joining the system, said Delsaux.
The main sticking points include the seat of the main patent court, how the court system should be financed and the language system.
Financial Crisis
"It would be a pity if after more than 40 years of negotiations, the new system would not be used," Juergen Koch, head of corporate intellectual property at Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest automotive supplier, said at the event. If EU nations now "lose their energy and speed, which in my view will be absorbed by the financial crisis, it may take even longer."
Companies can end up paying 18,000 euros ($24,100) for a patent valid in only 13 countries, including 10,000 euros for translation, according to the commission.
"We're in the final furlongs" toward a final accord on the patent, Barnier told journalists in Brussels today. Europe "could compete with the level of protection that industrial inventions get in the U.S. without it costing 10 times as much as it does at the moment."

Solaris Fingerprint Database - How it's done in Solaris 11
By Stefan Hinker-Oracle on Feb 29, 2012
Many remember the Solaris Fingerprint Database. It was a great tool to verify the integrity of a solaris binary. Unfortunately, it went away with the rest of sunsolve, and was not revived in the replacement, "My Oracle Support". Here's the good news: It's back for Solaris 11, and it's better than ever!
To use the old database, you had to get a MD5 fingerprint or digest of a binary, then check this fingerprint in the Fingerprint Database on the web. While there was a tool available for mass verification, this process was still rather cumbersome.
In Solaris 11, all of this is integrated in the package manifests of IPS. SHA1 and ELF hashes are stored in the manifest of each package for the binaries and scripts contained in it. This allows for manual verification. However, the packaging system also delivers a method to automatically verify the integrity of the installed software. Here are some of the things you can do with these hashes:
- What's the SHA1 fingerprint of a binary?
digest -a sha1 /usr/bin/vim
- What package is that binary delivered in?
pkg search -f $(digest -a sha1 /usr/bin/vim)
(You need the "-f" to find it even if a never version exists but isn't installed)
- Do you have more details ?
pkg info -r $(pkg search -f -H -o pkg.fmri $(digest -a sha1 /usr/bin/vim))
If all of this works out, you've verified that the binary (/usr/bin/vi in this case) is valid and part of the package vim-core.
The checks are done using the publishers configured on the system. You can check what they are using the command "pkg publisher". A typical output of this command would bePUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/
Of course, you can also check an individual file's SHA1 digest directly on the webserver. Just point your browser to the URL of the publisher and enter the digest in the search form. This is very similar to how the old Fingerprint Database worked. However, IPS can do a lot more than that:
Using the command "pkg verify", you can actually have the packaging system verify each and every installed package against the repository it was installed from. Depending on the type of file (binary, script, config file), different checks will be performed:
- Binaries will be checked using their ELF hash
- Scripts will be checked using their SHA1 file hash
- Config files, naturally, can not be checked, since they are meant to be changed by the administrator.
- File ownership and permissions are also checked.
This will report any deviations from what is defined in the package manifests, exposing, for example, any modified scripts or binaries. You can do this against the whole installation, you can also do this to check an individual package. Depending on the output, you can then decide what to do:
- Leave everything as it is
- Fix deviations manually, for example because you know what happened
- Have the package system fix individual packages (or everything) automatically
This last point is the real "power feature" in this context: Since IPS knows what things should be like, you can request that it bring things back to what they should be. A great improvement compared to what you could do with BART and the Fingerprint Database.
With all of this, IPS can compare an existing installation with the data provided by the repository used. The integrity of this repository needs to be provided separately. For the "master" repository, Oracle does this for you. The packages themselves are cryptographically signed, just like all the binaries. If you work with your own, local repository, check the download with the provided SHA1/MD5 checksums before deploying. You are then responsible for protecting it yourself.
To wrap things up, here's a little example for all of this:
root@benjaminchen:/usr/bin# ls -l vim
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 2225532 Feb 23 14:31 vim

Definition of mall in English:
- Once your store is in every mall, how do you get more growth - especially if the chain is narrowly focused to begin with?
- When you travel around the country you find the same stores in each mall.
- The Regency area is undergoing a retail rush as developers move to build stores and restaurants north of the mall.
Mid 17th century (in sense 3): probably a shortening of pall-mall. sense 2 derives from The Mall, a tree-bordered walk in St James's Park, London, formerly the site of a pall-mall alley. sense 1 dates from the 1960s.
The game pall-mall was popular in the 17th century. Players used a mallet to drive a boxwood ball through an iron ring suspended at the end of a long alley, itself also called a pall-mall. The game got its name, via French, from the Italian for 'ball' and 'mallet'. Pall Mall, a street in central London known for its large number of private clubs and formerly a fashionable place to promenade, was originally a pall-mall for the game. From the 18th century other sheltered places for walking came to be called malls—the first reference to a mall for shopping dates from 1950 in the USA. Malleable (Late Middle English) got its name from the same source as mall, for it originally meant 'able to be hammered' and goes back, like mallet (Late Middle English) and maul (Middle English), to Latin malleus 'hammer'.

On a beautiful summer day in
June—our last in Belarus—I sat mesmerized in the Lunna school,
listening to a young Belarussian boy read an essay entitled,
"The Jews of Lunna." Visibly nervous, his voice often wavered
as he read the words he had written so carefully. Yet his
message was clear. After spending hours upon hours interviewing
elderly residents of Lunna, he had come to the conclusion that
the Jews, who had been so brutally murdered over 60 years ago,
had been killed by the Nazis for no reason other than unfounded
prejudices and a deep lack of understanding.
As my ears filled with the
beautiful, yet still unfamiliar, rhythm of the Russian words, my
eyes wandered around the room and settled upon my fellow
Dartmouth students. Many of our eyes were filled with tears as
the realization of his words hit us. Entirely on his own,
prompted by the knowledge of our impending visit, this boy had
sought out Lunna's elderly residents in order to piece together
what had happened to the Jews in his town during the war. Most
unbelievable of all, this young man had come to the conclusion
that the unfounded hatred which had swept the village years ago
must never again be tolerated.
As the boy occasionally
glanced up in the course of his essay reading, I thought of the
scene which greeted his eyes. We sat in front of him—20
American college students who represented the tolerance of
diversity which he spoke about. We were African-American,
Asian, Indian, Greek, Italian, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian.
Our diversity was a unifier rather than a divider, as the
richness of our unique backgrounds only contributed to our
shared experience. I was proud that we, many of whom had no
ties to Judaism, had come together to restore Lunna's Jewish
cemetery and memorialize its Jewish community. We proved to
this young boy that tolerance and diversity were not simply
lofty aspirations, but very attainable goals.
As the sun came streaming in
the windows, I thought back to the conversation I'd had in
Chicago with 80-year-old Alan Welbel that February. Mr. Welbel
grew up in Lunna and survived two and a half years in Auschwitz,
living through one of the darkest times in human existence. Yet
he, too, spoke of the uselessness of hatred and of the
importance of tolerance. This young boy who stood before me was
the very age at which Mr. Welbel had been sent to Auschwitz.
The two had played in the same streets growing up, swum in the
same river, and run through the same fields. Thinking about
their shared childhoods and perspectives, I couldn't help but
wonder how the two would interact if they were to meet each
Startled out of my reverie, I
realized that the boy was nearing the end of his essay. In his
final sentences, he spoke of skin color and religious belief,
stating that neither could change the fact that we were all
human and, deep down, all alike. As I glanced around the room
again, from the Belarussian townspeople gathered there to the
Dartmouth students who had just spent days toiling away in the
Lunna cemetery, I realized this could not have been closer to
the truth.
We had traveled thousands of
miles partly to show Lunna's residents that someone still
cherished and remembered the town's eradicated Jewish
community. Yet as I stood amongst my fellow students to give
the boy an ovation, I realized that we were not the only ones
who cared.

THE BUSINESS WORLD; Capitalism, One Student At a Time, In Vietnam
By SETH MYDANS
Published: November 26, 2000
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam— OF all the radical free-market concepts that American teachers are pounding into their students at a small Harvard-run economics institute here, the most fundamental may be elbow grease.
''I hear the complaint, 'You make them work too hard; you don't give them time to contemplate,' '' said Brian Quinn, until recently the institute's director, as he headed down a busy two-lane highway dotted with the small new factories that form the first ripple of Vietnam's slowly emerging market economy.
One Vietnamese economist, said Lora L. Sabin, the institute's academic director, told her quite seriously, ''Vietnamese officials prefer to work in a low-intensity environment.''
Changing that attitude is one of the goals of the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program, founded in 1994 and administered by the Center for Business and Government at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. At a cool and sun-dappled complex in the city center, the institute is working to prepare middle-level mangers in provincial governments and state and private enterprises to do battle in the fast-moving market economy that Vietnam must master if it is to compete in the world.
''Things now move so quickly that it is impossible for any group of bureaucrats to make the right decisions even half the time,'' Mr. Quinn said.
The institute's efforts have become more important as pressure on Vietnam has intensified to loosen its centrally planned economy. President Clinton repeatedly emphasized the themes of speedier and more open economic development in Vietnam during his three-day visit to the country that ended last Sunday. Many American corporations, like Boeing, Caterpillar, Corning, Motorola and Oracle, are eager to start or expand their presence here, but the business climate remains difficult.
IN its one-year programs, the institute drills an average of 200 or more students in basic economic concepts and analytic skills, offering courses on subjects like applied statistics, managerial accounting, principles of management and appraisal of development expenditures.
''I found something of a shock when I came here,'' said Hung Quan, 35, a student who is an official at the regulatory agency for Vietnam's new stock exchange. ''When we learned about central planning we learned how to manage and control the economy following the plan. In the new economy we are learning here how to use scarce resources efficiently. It is a very, very different point of view. There is some difficulty in adapting our learning from our old way of life. We are learning how to change.''
People of his generation in Vietnam -- the people who make the economy run on a day-to-day level -- were trained in the principles of a command economy where the ethos was a rote fulfillment of government plans and goals.
''Now I think we will see changes,'' said another student, Bich Ha, an import-export manager for a private company. ''People realize that if they don't change, if they don't hurry up, they will be left behind.''
The institute, sponsored by the United States Information Agency with the cooperation of the Vietnamese government, anticipates the direction of Vietnamese economic development by shifting the focus from the central government to the provincial and local level.
''Economic reform is really going to be a process of decentralization of decision-making authority,'' Mr. Quinn said. ''More and more decisions are going to be devolved to the provincial level, and as this happens it is important for these people to have the ability to make rational decisions.
''They will be designing programs, designing tax structures, designing government policy. It's unfair to require them to make policy and not give them the skills they need to do that.''
Heading south through the rice fields of the northern Mekong Delta, where small factories have expanded the outskirts of Vietnam's economic hub, Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Quinn stopped at the Long An Textile Company, a struggling state-owned enterprise that produces synthetic fabrics.
A recent graduate, Le Van Bich, was given the job of deputy director in charge of business development here in the hope that his new expertise would help make the factory more competitive.
''This company was established under central planning and we are still trying to find a way into the market economy,'' said Mr. Bich, who is in his mid-40's. ''We make a lot of mistakes, for example not taking into account the impact of exchange rates on the costs of equipment.''
Some of the old guard resist his innovations of style, he said. ''But mostly we don't have a problem with employees because they realize there is no other way to go,'' he added. ''If you don't go this way you can't last.''
A little farther down the highway, Mr. Quinn stopped to talk with another graduate, Nguyen Thi Thu, 43, vice chairwoman for the management of industrial zones in Long An province.
''Before, we trained with a Soviet model,'' she said. ''Most of the officials here understand the words and basic ideas of the new system so they can say the right things, but they don't really understand them. So when I explain things, they listen to me.''
Curiously, the concept of independent thinking seems to be catching on precisely because it is the new policy of the central government -- the new central plan.

Bullard Says Modest Growth Would Keep Fed on Hold
Continued modest growth in the U.S., in the range of 2% for the balance of the year, should be enough keep Federal Reserve policymakers on hold and as data continue to show signs of improvement, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard said Thursday.
Mr. Bullard, in an interview on CNBC, played down a belief by some in the marketplace that minutes released Wednesday from the Fed suggest the central bank is inclined to act to stimulate the economy. Those minutes, said Mr. Bullard, are "a bit stale," and that he doesn't believe U.S. data now warrant a "gigantic" policy response by the Fed.
The probability of further stimulus from the Fed is "not as high" as expectations seen this summer in the financial markets, he said. Still, he said he might support a more modest response if data turn soft, and that the central bank has that option on the table. In response to U.S. initial jobless claims data, released Thursday and which showed a rise of 4,000 to 372,000, Mr. Bullard said he doesn't get concerned unless the indicator rises about 400,000.
Mr. Bullard added that the Fed is intentionally vague about the timing of any possible easing. He also expressed concern that the Fed in unintentionally facilitating a build up in debt, and that more quantitative easing would make the central bank's exit from that build up more difficult.
Mr. Bullard was less optimistic concerning Europe, saying he is "more pessimistic" on a favorable outcome there. The European Central Bank, he said, instead of targeting its debt purchases to regions or sectors, should instead be buying "across the board."
In the U.S., Mr. Bullard said he personally sees an 80% probability that Congress will act to avert a fiscal crisis. On the banking front, Mr. Bullard said the U.S. would be better off with smaller banks.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
by Cam Mather
peak oil, song lyrics, suburbia, today's youth, Cam Mather
Teen angst is not a new theme in society, but I think that all of the
issues of the past that caused it have been ratcheted up about a
ba-zillion notches. When I was teenager in the mid 70s my mind was
consumed with girls, and cars, and working (to make money for gas for
the car to meet girls) and occasionally I thought about school stuff. I
lived in the suburbs but they didn't seem like a bad place to be at the
time. Everyone lived in the suburbs didn't they?
The band Rush had a song in 1982 called "Subdivisions" including the lyrics
"Subdivisions... in the high school halls, in the shopping malls, conform or be cast out..."
Heavens knows James Kunstler (author of "The Long Emergency") has
made a career out of trashing suburbia. He calls suburbia the greatest
misallocation of resources in the history of the planet. In a post
peak-oil world he understands the problem with living in suburbia.
Some of today's youth seem to get it. And they get it at a much
deeper level than I can conceptualize of at that age. Last year our
daughter Katie was living in a vegan coop at The University of Toronto.
Whenever we visited I'd make a point of meeting the other students
living there. They were a socially aware group of young people and it
was great to find out what they were studying but also what causes they
were involved in.
I was talking to one of her roommates one day who was pretty pumped
because he'd just finished his Master's thesis. I asked him what it was
about. It had a long complicated title, but as best I can remember it
was basically about the impact of peak-oil on resources. I felt like
saying "Huh? Peak oil? You've heard about Peak Oil? You shouldn't have
even heard about this stuff!" I certainly don't discuss it around my
daughters. But not only have some of these young people heard about peak
oil, and climate change, and experiencing the effects of the economic
collapse, they seem to really grasp the enormity and consequences of it
I began to wonder what impact this would have on a young person's
mindset. I know the effect it has on me at age 50, but what about a
20-year-old? At 20 I saw nothing but good times and endless
possibilities. Today? If I were 20 I'd be living in my parents' basement
trying to log my 10,000 hours on "Call of Duty."
And why not? Their parents helped screw up the system. They sucked up
all the easy oil to live the suburbs. And now they're taking up all the
good jobs and they refuse to retire so that young people can have a
shot. Oh, and when they finally do retire they'll suck up and bankrupt
public pensions and the healthcare system. Yikes.
My daughters are part of this exceptionally intelligent generation.
Along with being smart and worldly, and having a great sense of humor,
they both have excellent taste in music. While Michelle was upstairs
home schooling them during their elementary years, I was in the basement
running our business, and playing music loud, so I feel that I can take
credit for their taste in music.
My daughters recently introduced me to a great band from Montreal
called Arcade Fire. (They recently won the Grammy for Best New Album of
the Year.) Bands today are just better than they used to be. They're
somehow tighter, they have better production abilities, they write more
haunting melodies, I can't describe it but everything today is more
advanced and complex and I think music is too. One of my daughters gave
me Arcade Fire's new album (at my age we still call them "albums")
called "The Suburbs" and it's quite amazing. The music is great but the
lyrics are just hauntingly insightful. How do people so young get to be
so smart? They were obviously not spending all of their time on the
football field in high school.
There is a great song called "The Suburbs".
One of their lyrics talks about the quality of the houses built in the post-war boom when the suburbs were born…
"When all of the walls that they built in the 70's finally fall,
And all of the houses they built in the 70's finally fall."
Where do young people get these ideas? I was living in a relatively
new suburban house in the 70's and I never once gave any thought to what
the walls were made of. Recently we had an electrician here for some
one-on-one consulting about off-grid solar and wind, and he was talking
about a new subdivision he has been working on. These brand new houses
consisted of a layer of drywall inside, fiberglass insulation, 1-inch
rigid insulation on the outside and then a layer of vinyl siding that
was screwed right into the rigid insulation (i.e. made directly from a
barrel of oil). If you were into karate and you punched your wall and
missed the stud, you could punch your fist right through the house!
And I love this lyric for the song;
"So can you understand, why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I want to hold her hand, show her some beauty before all this damage is done."
I always wanted daughters. I would have loved to have a son, but I
treasure my daughters. And they're smart and funny and bright lights.
And I hope they've seen some beauty in their lives. We've taken them to
some beautiful places in North America, but now if they want to see some
beauty with their dad the best they're going to get is this 150 acres
when they visit. And it is beautiful. And I will continue to nurture and
protect it so the ponds can clean the water, the trees can clean the
air and the soil can grown healthy food. And I will continue trying to
learn from the wisdom that is locked in the rocks and trees and earth
that has been here for millennium and will be dispensing that wisdom
long after I'm gone.

Selena Gomez – a person who, hands up, had not really been much of a blip on my radar – looked very lovely at the MTV awards, all gamine and gazelle-like (what is she doing with Beiber!? Surely they are not doing … it) and I went to a Mac masterclass last week hosted by senior artist Lesley Keane to find out all about what went into creating her red carpet beauty look.
At 19, it's pretty clear she doesn't need a lot on her face, and Lesley revealed that lots of airbrushing was apparently used backstage at the awards with a big trend for doll-like skin. So to fulfill that requirement, on the night of the awards Mac mixed up copious quantities of Face and Body foundation and Face and Body Mixing Medium with Strobe Cream and spritzed complexions for a plasticized, hyper-real finish that looked incredible.
At home, apply Strobe Cream to moisturised skin. Next step? Buff your foundation of choice on in circular movements using a stippling brush (check this post for a couple of new ones we've been testing) for a flawless, airbrushed finish.
Eyes were the focal point of this look. As with all of Mac's new launches, products are trailed by artists at fashion weeks and shows before launch. Selena actually wore a forthcoming Metal-X shade, Venetian Tarnish, on her eyes. It will launch in December and I'll be able to show you info on the collection later this week. In the meantime, you can dupe the look with an existing shadow shade. The classic Mac colour, Sumptuous Olive, (1) is ideal, as would any shimmering olive-toned shadow.
What's interesting about this look is it's pretty much one shadow colour on the lid with Mylar shadow as a brow highlight, and that's it. "The new trend is for one shadow, one brush," reveals Lesley. Anyone terrified of 657 colours on 56 different brushes, breathe a big sigh of relief. She applied the shadow (Metal X has a creamy-powder consistency which applies and blends well) to the lid as well as high on the inner corner by the nose, then blended it all really well for a 70s finish.
Liner was also a big feature here. Use Fluidline in Dipdown (2) and an angled brush and create a thick line at the edge of the eye, tapering into a finer point inside. Blend it out so it's not harsh, and add some on the lower lashline too. Lesley's tip for knowing where to wing your liner is simple and smart: "where the last lash stops growing, that's where you start winging," she reveals.
Lashes should be liberally coated with Zoom Lash or Haute and Naughty Mascara (3). Looks to me like she's got some lashes in place too, so you could add them as well, if you wanted.
Contour was achieved with Harmony blusher (4) and a 129 brush (Lesley recommends that to find the correct place to begin, grab hold of your ear. "Start at the curve of your ear and you'll feel the cheekbone. That's where you begin placing the color.") Next up was lips.
Apply Lipstick in Girl About Town (5) straight from the bullet and use a 228 brush to join the edges if necessary. She also had a smart tip when you're wearing bright colour: "be careful, the upper lip should always be bigger than the bottom lip, so make sure to bring your bottom lipstick colour in under the top lip."
At this point I was discretely wiping my red lipsticked pout in the back row in case I had broken a cardinal sin of makeup, but it's a good pointer and one that will help you get a sharp, graphic finish to a neon pout. If you preferred, you could just go the gloss route and choose a Dazzleglass in a shade like Love Alert or Steppin' Out.
So, that's Selena's EMAs red carpet re-create. Yes, I'm not 19. At first glance I probably wouldn't have gone for it – but it's actually very wearable, not to mention easy to achieve.
What do you lot reckon? Something you'll give a go to for your next jaunt to the pub?

Nine years ago Kristina Krohne's nephew, a 14-year-old Ramona High School student, committed suicide.
Since then, she's taken the lead in suicide prevention campaigns and was a driving force in establishing the Ramona Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Walk for Life five years ago.
"That's where my passion comes from," she told Ramona Unified School District trustees at their October meeting.

Their ranks are legion. You could say they're multiplying. They're ready to judge your lifestyle and tell you just how much you're missing out.
They are friends with kids. And now they even have their own movie, opening Friday.
"Everyone wants you to be in the same life stage that they're in and have the same experiences that they're having," says Jennifer Westfeldt, the star, writer, director and co-producer of the new comedy, by phone from New York. (Her boyfriend, Jon Hamm, is a co-star and producer). "When your friends have kids, you miss them and you feel a little bit left out for a while. Then they sort of re-emerge, and you're like, welcome back! I missed you!"
In Friends With Kids, longtime friends Julie (Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott) would both want a child. But they've seen the rigors of parenthood drain the passion from their friends' relationships. As Julie puts it, "we want to do it in a way that doesn't kill the romance."
So they form a platonic child-rearing partnership. Like most romantic comedy plans, this one doesn't go off without a hitch.
The premise is clever; the results, more often than not, funny. But Friends With Kids actually had me at its title. I thought it was a movie about my social circle.
I've looked on with a mixture of resignation and curiosity as a good percentage of my best friends have joined the parenthood league. As a semi-objective observer, I've learned the pattern. You congratulate them. You hold the offspring in your arms. You keep company while the baby is but an immobile, oblivious being. Then you watch your friends disappear into a sort of vortex, only to re-emerge, as Westfeldt puts it, some time later.
Two of my good friends, a couple on the East Coast, recently announced they were expecting. My first reaction: "That's awesome. Congrats." Followed shortly by: "Well, there goes another two."
"It's a funny thing to be out of sync with your peer group, to watch them undergo this epic, life-changing, profound transition and identity shift," says Westfeldt, who, like me, is kidless and doesn't feel particularly bad about it. "You try to be with them every step of the way, but you're also outside of it."
I've never minded being outside of it. It's the sense of judgment that rankles me.
I think of the friend for whom fatherhood has clearly been a blessing, a calling to responsibility. Then I remember the time he told me fatherhood would make me complete. Once I wiped the smirk off my face, I asked the obvious question: When did you gain the omnipotence to speak for me? (I could also have made a point about the current worldwide population figures, but that didn't seem tactful.)
At some point, society deemed it desirable, if not mandatory, for an adult to procreate by a certain age. (As Westfeldt points out, for women the pressure is biological as well as social.) Even Friends With Kids, for all its clever subversion of expectations, buys into the conventional wisdom: Falling in love and living a fulfilling life for two is never an option for Julie and Jason. It's all about the baby.
I salute all the great parents out there. Heaven knows we need more. I value my friends with kids. If I didn't, they wouldn't have been my friends in the first place.
But don't mistake respect for an urgent need to join the club, by means comedic or not. For now, you can have the kids. I'll be content with the friends.

First step towards attracting more women into construction
Published by Anonymous for Sanctuary Housing Association in Housing and also in Education
Carpentry and joinery apprentice, Chantelle Wrightson.
Keen to play its part in attracting more females to work in the construction industry, Sanctuary Group invited its contractors to a meeting at it offices in London to learn more about the Women into Construction Project.
The Women into Construction Project is a CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) Construction Skills scheme run by the organisation Be Onsite following a successful initiative by the Olympic Delivery Authority at Olympic Park in Stratford. The project aims to create a more balanced work force by removing barriers that might deter women from entering the construction industry.
Committed to attracting more women to work at its developments across London, Sanctuary Group hosted a meeting with Women Into Construction at its offices in Wood Green, where the Group's development team and some of its contractors (including Ardmore Construction, Bennett Construction Ltd & Bugler Development) learnt more about the initiative.
They heard about the range of options available to women through the scheme, such as work placements on site, apprenticeships, access to further training and careers advice, and the funding available for childcare costs etc to help facilitate women taking up these opportunities.
Janet Mussington, Sanctuary's head of development for London, said: "There are relatively few women working in the construction industry and Sanctuary is keen to play a part in redressing this imbalance. The presentation from the Women into Construction team was very informative and we are delighted that three of our contractors have already given a commitment to offering work experience placements through the Project."
She confirmed that Sanctuary Group has female apprentices working in its maintenance team (Sanctuary Maintenance) and via some of its contractors – such as 20-year old Chantelle Wrightson who is doing a carpentry and joinery apprenticeship with Keepmoat at Sanctuary's extra care development in the north-east.
She added: "We are determined to see many more female apprentices taken on by Sanctuary and our contractors, and more training and employment opportunities created with women in mind to ensure more females can progress a career in the construction industry in the future."

Via Jezebel comes this Mitchell & Webb mish-mash piss-take of ads targeting us ladies: "Women! You're leaking, ageing, hairy, overweight – and everything hurts," intones David Mitchell, as the ad rolls to a close. Check out the product shot at the end – particular favourites are Guss It Sanitary Pads and Apricot Deforestation Strips.
PS: Is it just me or are M&W generally scarily unfunny? After the brilliance of Peep Show, I was pretty horrified by how rubbish their own show was – though this redeems them. Somewhat.

Americans Against Unfair Family Taxation, Washington, said last week a national survey found 92% of Americans believe the estate tax is unfair. Tim Hammonds, AAUFT co-chair as well as president of the Food Marketing Institute here, said, "The American dream should not have to end with one family's generation. The federal government should encourage, not discourage, family-run business and farms to remain in the family." The AAUFT -- a coalition of food-industry associations, including the ...

Hubble constant starts to settle down
May 26, 1999
Astronomers are closing in on the age of the universe. At a press conference yesterday the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project Team announced that its final value for the Hubble constant implies that the universe is 12 billion years old, plus or minus about one billion years. The team used the Hubble telescope to measure almost 800 Cepheid variable stars - pulsating stars that act as "standard candles" and therefore allow accurate measurements of distance - in 18 galaxies out to a distance of 65 million light years. A different analysis by Charles Lineweaver of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, suggests that the universe is 13.4 billion years old, plus or minus 1.6 billion years. Lineweaver's result, which is based on measurements on the cosmic microwave and six other cosmological measurements, is published in Science tomorrow (Science 284 1503). The oldest stars in the universe are between 11 and 14 billion years old, which can be accommodated by the new age of the universe. Only recently some results had suggested that the universe was only 10 billion years old.
The Hubble team, led by Wendy Freedman of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, has spent the last eight years using the telescope to make more accurate measurements of the Hubble constant – the rate at which the universes expands. The team's final result this is that the Hubble constant is 70 kilometres per second per megaparsec. (A megaparsec is 3.26 million light years). The uncertainty in the measurement is 10%. "After all these years, we are finally entering an era of precision cosmology, " said Freedman.
To calculate the age of the universe from the Hubble constant it is necessary to know both the density of matter in the universe and the value of the cosmological constant. The Hubble team assumed that the density was critical - that is, high enough to eventually stop the expansion of the universe, but not enough to cause the universe to collapse back in on itself. If the cosmological constant is non-zero - as suggested by recent observations which suggest that the expansion of the universe is increasing with time - then the age would be greater.
Freedman and colleagues used the Hubble telescope to measure the brightness of Cepheid variables, well-known astronomical objects whose brightness waxes and wanes on a regular timescale. Astronomers have been able to associate this time variation with the total luminosity of the star. Once they have calculated the brightness of the star, the luminosity measured from the Earth is depends only on how far away it is (assuming that the star is not obscured by dust).
Lineweaver, on the other hand, combined recent independent measurements of the cosmic microwave background - the radiation left over from the Big Bang - with six other cosmological measurements to determine the Hubble constant, the density of matter in the universe and the cosmological constant. Whereas matter slows down the expanding universe, the cosmological constant represents a kind of antigravity force that speeds up the expansion. Einstein once famously called the cosmological constant his greatest blunder but recent observations by two international teams of astronomers suggest that it is non-zero.

Allen: I would turn gay for Beyonce (From Congleton Guardian)
Allen: I would turn gay for Beyonce
1:18pm Monday 2nd June 2014 in © Press Association 2014
Lily Allen has joked that she would happily turn gay for Beyonce.
The pop star - who is mum to two young daughters with husband Sam Cooper - revealed to The Sun that she is a huge fan of the If I Were A Boy singer.
"I'd turn for Beyonce," she joked.
"I think our kids would look really good together."
It isn't the first time Lily, 29, has referenced Beyonce.
In April, the Smile hitmaker gave a rendition of the American star's song Drunk In Love when she took to the stage at London club G-A-Y.
She also name checks the star in her track, Sheezus.

If anyone needs to be converted to the operas of Benjamin Britten, they should get tickets to ENO's new production of Billy Budd. Clearly some conversions are necessary - the gallery was only about two thirds full when I went, and that was on Saturday evening. (Of course, it could have been because France was playing Spain in the European Championship, but somehow I doubt it).
Not everyone likes the production, but I found it extremely effective. The problem was obvious - it 'updates' an opera that is very carefully localised in time and place, aboard HMS Indomitable in 1797, when Britain is fighting France. That led to many jarring references to sails (on what had been updated to a modern warship) and the French (given the 20th century look, the enemy ought to have been either the Germans or the Russians), canons (which the director replaced with oil drums), etc.
However, if you managed to ignore these anachronisms, it worked well. For a start the music was written in 1951, so the mid-20th century look suits it very well. More importantly, the implicit references to a totalitarian state - the sets reminiscent of Battleship Potemkin, the able seamen wearing boiler suits with numbers - chimes with the theme of personal and political repression that makes the opera so chilling. If the villain Claggart wants to crush the handsome Billy because he is attracted to him, as is insinuated, that makes more sense in an atmosphere where personal freedom is repressed. Captain De Vere is forced to condemn Billy because he needs to reassert his political power against the threat of mutiny.
The best thing about this staging, though, is that it doesn't get in the way of the opera. The story - which is about the relationships between Claggart, the crew, Billy and De Vere - unfurls with heart-breaking clarity. Billy's execution was unforgettably poignant.
Britten's brilliance is to dramatise big, timeless ideas whilst keeping within a naturalistic framework. Billy Budd is about repression, about good, bad and what lies inbetween, but it deals with them obliquely. One of the most thrilling musical build-ups occurs when HMS Indomitable approaches a French ship. The crew works itself into a frenzy of excitement as it prepares for battle. But then the mist gets in the way and the wind drops. The prospect of a clash with the enemy - which would re-energise the crew's flagging sense of purpose, of right and wrong - disappears. It is back to scheming and bitching below decks.

Stones of Camberwell - in the footsteps of Ruskin
After spotting a notice on the SE5 Forum, I went on a highly unusual walk around Camberwell last week. Its theme was a cross between the Victorian man of letters John Ruskin, who lived many years on Denmark Hill, and geology, which was one of his interests. Our guide was a South London artist called Martin Fidler, assisted by Andrew Stuck, who runs a small consultancy called Rethinking Cities.

The transformation of the Brixton arcades
Where in South London can you buy pigs tails, egg fruit, vintage jackets, church candles and organic sour-dough, all under one roof? The answer, as locals will know, could only be Brixton Village, the shopping arcade between Coldharbour Lane and Atlantic Road by Brixton train station. I walked through to buy some vegetables this morning and was pleasantly surprised by how busy and buzzy it was. The cafés were packed with brunchers and even the two old-school fishmongers seemed to be doing a decent trade.

Big Society without the BS? How to buy your local film studio
Last September I went on a fascinating tour of a film studio based in an 18th warehouse in trendy Rotherhithe - and wrote about it briefly here. Now the owner of the warehouse wants to raise the rent beyond the means of the studio, which has been there since the 1970s, when Rotherhithe was a cheap industrial wasteland. It's a familiar story in the history of London - creative industries drive up property prices, forcing the creatives to move on. But rather than move on, the studio is trying to buy out its landlord. And it is doing that by issuing shares in its business to the local Rotherhithe community and contacts in the film industry.

Michaela Community School
All the drama of national politics came to Camberwell last Thursday at what was supposed to be an information evening for the Michaela Community School, a "free school" due to launch in Lambeth in 2012.
On the same day we hit the polls to vote yes or no on AV, the meeting at the Sun & Doves pub on Coldharbour Lane degenerated into a referendum on the free-school movement. Outbursts of partisan clapping followed questions on both sides of the argument and the evening closed with a women behind me literally screaming "you're destroying our education system".

Comics Publishers Present Latest News to Retailers @ Summit
UPDATED: DC - Doc Savage & The Spirit
On the heels of this past weekend's Baltimore Comic-Con, Monday the city's own Diamond Comics Distributors is hosting comic book retailers from around the country for the latest of their regular retailer summits.
During the course of the day's events comic book publishers make sales and editorial presentations to the assembled comic book store owners, managers, and workers and Image, DC, and Marvel Comics are making theirs this evening.
Look for updates over the next couple of hours as we detail any news that crossed our desks from the presentations...
- No new info on the Miracleman ... whoops… make that Marvelmanfront.
- Captain America: Reborn will now be six issues (as opposed to the solicited five) and then will be followed by Captain America: Who Will Wield the Shield.
- A summer 2010 "5th week" event will focus on the women heroes and characters of Marvel, as they team-up in a "Secret Wars" like storyline. The event will apparently also serve to promote female creators at Marvel.
- I Am Iron Man is a limited series by Peter David and Sean Chen that expands on the origin story of the Iron Man feature film and serve as a prequel to this coming summer's highly-anticipated sequel.
- Marvel will continue to publish more Gunslinger series based on Stephen King's Dark Tower novels.
- Allan Heinberg and Jimmy Cheung will make a long-awaited return to the Young Avengers next summer in Avengers: Children's Crusade.
- Lady Deadpool will be introduced in Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth #7, and will be followed by the tongue-in-cheek 5th week mini-event Deadpool Corps, featuring Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Headpool, Dogpool, and Kid Deadpool.
- The previously announced Jeph Loeb/Frank Cho series Ultimate Comics series New Ultimates is set for a March 2010 debut.
And Loeb will also team with Art Adams in 2010 to launch Ultimate X, which will feature of a new team of Ultimate Universe X-Men, including new characters and some of the survivors of Ultimatum.
- In March, Hope and Cable return to the present-day Marvel Universe for the crossover event Second Coming, which Marvel is calling the culmination of all the X-Men storylines since House of M.
The four-month event features bookend one-shots and crosses over Uncanny X-Men, X-Men Legacy, X-Force and New Mutants.
- Finally, apparently Blackest Night #6 won't be the only new title in comic book shops on December 30th.
Marvel will ship a free Siege prequel one-shot, along with free Avengers 2010 calendars and ID cards.

My son Devin will be 4 in June and is fully urine trained. We have been trying for a while to get him to sit on the toilet. After a failed attempt with a cheap seat he refused to sit. About a month ago I purchased a toilet seat called mommies helper (not cheap!) and he sits with no fighting. Now my problem... he will not or can not poop while sitting. He will play a computer game stand up and poop but when he sits on the toilet he squeezes and squeezes and starts crying telling me the doody is stuck and it's gone. He will even beg his doody to please come back. Today he did this for about 20 min and refused to stop trying. Any advice what I should do? I will be calling my peds office for an apt in the AM.
New here need some help!
