Rachel Smalley is copping a lot of flak for pointing out what should be obvious: our prime time news shows on both radio and tv are dominated by white men. They're all perfectly good broadcasters, and some of them are even excellent broadcasters, and at least one of them has recently been annointed as St Broadcaster by the NZ public. Even so, they are overwhelmingly, white men.
Smalley has been roundly castigated for daring to point this out, and people have leapt in to say that there are plenty of women in broadcasting and that most of these men report to female bosses. See for example, Tim Watkins at Pundit: On Smalley: a bit of back and forth.
Of those that I know or have worked with, they've all had women bosses. And that's a key point that's worth noting in this debate that is very different from the newsrooms of a generation ago. There are probably other examples, but as much as I know: Guyon has been produced by Maryanne Ahern, John by Pip Keane, Larry by Melita Tull and Paul by Sarah Bristow. Duncan has worked for Linda Clark. It was Carol Hirschfeld who hired Campbell last week. As much as the marketing sometimes belies this, news and current affairs is not just about the host.
Watkins is right: current affairs is not just about the host. Nevertheless, the host is the front person for a show. And when you have white men as the front person for so many shows, it helps to create a mindset about who is worthy of presenting the news, who is entitled to comment on it, whose opinions matter, who are the serious people that we ought to listen to and trust. Overwhelmingly, it's not women. And no matter how much work women are doing in the backroom, out the front it's all about the men.
That's a harmful message to about who is worth listening to. It's no wonder that women are so under represented in our Parliament and around our board tables, when the people who are valorised and lauded and given frontline roles are men, and women in public and senior roles are exceptions.
Of course, where there's a controversy, there's an on-line poll. Here's the ever-reliable NZ Herald's poll.
Take a look at the possible answers on that poll. Yes, it's a good idea to have a discussion about representation during Prime Time vs no, broadcasters should be chosen on merit along vs I'm not sure.
So much to read into that second response! First up, it's not even worth having a discussion about representation. Second, it's all about merit and that's all that matters.
But there's the rub. Is the way that we measure merit gendered? (This is a trick question.)
Anyone who has ever read any feminist analysis knows the results of endless studies: yes, the way we measure merit is indeed gendered, and we tend to equate merit with being male, and being a white male at that.
Heaven knows how merit in broadcasting is measured. If it was by ratings alone, Paul Henry would be off the air already. But I'm guessing that the way we measure merit in broadcasting is as heavily gendered as other fields.
And the results of that on-line poll. Totally unsurprising. Most people (64%) don't even want to have the discussion.
We've got a long way to go.
In the meantime, I'm willing to lay good odds that Rachel Smalley is getting some nasty e-mail over her daring to voice this opinion. Do send her a message of support, for having the courage to speak out on this.

Nessie: Doesn't Seem to Matter Any More
I don't know what's happened to us all. Bewitched by this random rich girl who chooses to stay on a solitary island all by herself—and the police don't know about her, presumably. Dean calls her an 'angel'. Cassie calls her a 'demon'.
I don't know what she is; some particle of sunlight personified through insanity.
How come she hasn't seen our smoke signals before now? Haven't we been here that long? It feels like we've been here forever—and if so, it must be nearly my birthday. I was due to be fifteen a fortnight after I first arrived at camp. How long ago now? I don't know. Everything's changed. I don't know if I want to be fifteen. Age just doesn't seem to matter any more.
There's been near-fatal injuries at least once a day; hunger, exhaustion, memories—none of this can be real. Maybe we're all hallucinating.
If only I had a good reason to hallucinate. The worst injury I've had is a splintered finger and a couple of bruises, while Dean had his hand sliced off, Sarah's lame in both feet and Jim's laid up pretty nastily. Everyone's been fainting off and on for the past half-day. I've been sitting here by this tree with my head in my hands. The muscles in my neck have melted, I swear. My head just won't hold itself up any more.
And I won't sleep in that 'house'. I walked in once, and the moment I felt the door frame over my head I started to nauseate. I swayed a bit, and accidentally hit Bree with one flailing arm; then recovered myself and backed out.
There was an instant release as the pressure cleared from above me. I can't go inside that place again. It speaks of my whole life back at 'home': my life as a prudent citizen of an ordered community: my life as the obedient child of traditionalist parents.
I've lived a different existence for the past five days. Life has been my battle, my desire, my sustenance. I've gathered wood and berries and slept beneath the stars. I've felt torrential rain soaking me through and cleansing my stains, hurricane winds ripping through my hair, tearing out my bitter cobwebs, gaping sunshine engulfing my soul and cradling my shivering body in its comforting folds. I've seen blood and agony and endurance. And I've found comradeship through silence and nature.
There is no way I want to 'live' in this house of that girl's, when I can subsist on the land out here and feel a new spirit growing within my once-oppressed heart.
Do I even want to be rescued? Not all that much. I don't care about being found any more. I just want to live here on this island till I die, and somehow through solitary perseverance I'll forget my childhood.
If it weren't for Rufus, that's what I'd do.
Maybe I should say something about my family.
I'm one of eight—two sisters, five brothers, then me. I'm the youngest, along with Rufus, who is seventeen, and whom I love more than anyone else in the world.
Our parents are ancient, over sixty, and born in Victorian times at least, if not in the medieval ages.
They were originally from England, but came out to America to 'broaden their horizons'. Then Diana, or 'Diamond', as we now call her, arrived, and they ended up staying and giving birth to seven more children.
They've wanted to move back ever since, and get away from all 'this independence poppycock' and back to 'good old conservative society'. But they never got round to it. They had too many children, being archaic-minded anti-contraception traditionalists as they were.
I've been to England once, five years ago, to my youngest grandparent's funeral. I met one of my great-aunts there, and she shocked me something terrible: a half-crazed soul gradually imploding inside a shrivelled carcass.
But for all that I liked England. I liked the accent and the drab old buildings. The weather's damn awful, but it complements my average mood so finely. My kind of place, I thought then.
Not any more. I don't know how I'll be able to find my way back into civilisation, if ever we are destined to get there.
For now, I'm going to live. All I want is here on this island. All I've ever been searching for. And just by chance, via a freak storm that blew up out of the still complacency that was that day nigh on a week ago, I've found it.

The Next Generation of Sales Training by Advance
Training for sales managers needs to go beyond traditional leadership and coaching; it should emphasize the manageable.
However, the manager of the territory rep might need a completely different set of skills. For example, if a sales manager is managing a sales representative with 200 accounts in a fairly large geographic area, prioritization of sales effort is critical to sales success. That territory rep would need help segmenting the customer base, determining appropriate call cycles, and then mapping out a plan to cover the territory. Even though many organizations have segmentation strategies, we often see a lack of follow-up between sales managers and sales reps to determine if the sellers executed according to plan. In short, if the management tasks differ from sales manager to sales manager, so should their training.
In our research, we uncovered four salesperson activities that must be managed differently:
Account management is applicable when a seller has a few large accounts. Large accounts typically represent multiple opportunities for a seller and are worthy of a greater amount of planning. If an account manager has only three or four accounts, it is not necessary to segment them or develop differential call cycles. It is important, however, to strategically align the seller's solutions with the account's strategic objectives. It also is necessary to have a broad base of contacts in different business units within the same account. Account management training typically involves in-depth planning to include
• Different business units
• Strategic initiatives by business unit
• Key players and their political ties
• Action plans to navigate each business unit to generate new opportunities.
Territory management is applicable when the number of assigned accounts in a territory is too large for the seller to treat all accounts in the same manner. Segmentation and prioritization methods are critical elements of any training on territory management. Territory management training typically involves
• Prioritizing accounts
• Designing call patterns
• Executing calls according to the desired patterns.
Opportunity management is applicable when sellers are pursuing deals that require multiple interactions over time to close a sale. If a seller is involved in a transactional sale that is typically closed in one interaction, opportunity management is not relevant. Opportunity management involves educating sellers and sales managers on the process a buyer navigates when purchasing the seller's solution.
If it is effective, it also will compare and contrast the specific company sales process with the buying process. To effectively navigate an opportunity, the seller must understand the milestones and activities at each stage of the sales process and possess the necessary skills to move the customer through the various stages to a close.
Call management is necessary when a seller is involved in sales in which each sales call is important to the outcome of the deal and each interaction is different enough to warrant planning. If all calls are roughly the same, then planning for each interaction is impractical and unhelpful.
Depending on which types of processes a sales manager supervises, she will need a different set of skills and tools to manage her team appropriately. One-size-fits-
Therefore, the first task in designing relevant, practical sales manager training is to understand the unique management tasks of the individuals. Then build sales training that has direct applicability to what he does from Monday to Friday, which is to manage his sellers.
It has been our experience that when managers are exposed to training that equips them to better execute their day-to-day activities, they are extremely willing participants. Many even thank us. Research and experience tells us that generic sales management training needs to be a thing of the past.
You must have rhythm
Sales managers exist in a chaotic world, primarily because they serve two demanding groups—the salespeople below and the executives above. Consequently, they live reactive lives. They respond with haste to every fire their sellers encounter, and they feed constant information up the chain of command. Sales managers always tell us that no two days are ever the same—but perhaps they should be.
One of the key insights from our research and work with clients is that sales managers need more structure. It's difficult to coach a salesperson when the seller's hair is on fire. Unless some structure is given to a sales manager's week, ad hoc interactions will populate the day.
We have spent a significant amount of time observing manager-seller interactions, and we've found that little coaching takes place in ad-hoc discussions. Such discussions are hurried interruptions where the goal is to solve immediate problems, not to look farther down the road. Effective management and coaching is best done in a formal environment with an agenda and two parties who are prepared for the conversation.
Therefore, sales manager training needs to help them structure what they do during the course of a day, week, month, and year. They need a management process or rhythm to quell the chaos and let them interact with their sellers in an effective, value-added way.
Most managers we know need help thinking through the management rhythm that is right for their teams. How often do they need to meet? What is the purpose of each meeting? Are they best conducted one-on-one or in a group? What are the inputs and outputs of the interaction?
Sales managers need an operating manual that defines their specific jobs. They have been taught how to lead and coach; now they need to learn how to manage. An example of applicable structure and associated management rhythm for a sales manager managing a group of territory sales reps might include quarterly and monthly meetings.
Quarterly territory reviews with each sales rep. This quarterly meeting might be two hours in length; incorporate a segmented and prioritized list of accounts that the seller has prepared; and provide the venue for a facilitated discussion about the selected segmentation, top accounts in each segment, and then a desired call pattern over the course of the next three months.

Blockbuster trade on the Eve of the season
In a trade that has been rumored for a year the Penguins and Avalanche have finally pulled off their much rumored Matt Duchene deal. The trade sent Duchene, Douglas Murray, and Colorado's 3rd round pick in the upcoming 2016 draft. Going the other way to Colorado are Andrej Meszaros, David Legwand and top defensive prospect Louis Desbiens. After being eliminated in the 2nd round for two straight seasons the Penguins finally pulled off the deal that gets them the top 6 forward they needed. Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero had this to say on the trade "Duchene provides us with tremendous speed, a fantastic shot and excellent play making abilities. He is the elite talent we have wanted to go along with Geno and Neal on our 2nd line for a while now. It was tough trading Meszaros after a really good season for him but we have enough organizational depth to replace him. We would also like to thank David Legwand for his time here in Pittsburgh and all he has done for the organization and the community." The Pens now have a number of offensive threats in their top 6 and look to win the Stanley Cup for the 1st time in 8 years.

False SecurityMature
For a long time, Jake and I managed to keep away from Lee and Zelthar. There were no signs of either and I wondered what had happened to Lee at least. Though I hated him for turning me into a vampire, he was still my sire and there was an instinctive desire to at least make sure he was alive-though as far from me as was possible. I hoped Zelthar hadn't killed him, despite the fact it would solve one problem for Jake and I.
I was also plagued with worries about Zelthar appearing to take Jake away and take me to execution. I was an exiled criminal and a run-away bounty hunter. There was a dim hope that Zelthar had let me go, that maybe he was going to let me have a life. I always repressed that thought though. It was too dangerous.
Slowly, over the months, Jake and I stopped taking the most extreame measures to avoid detection. We settled a far cry from the Council's reach in a sprawling city, where very few vampires seemed to have made the effort to reach. We began to settle, renting a house and mixing with the humans. We lasted three months of peace.
Both Jake and I had a passion for nightclubs. As vampires, we found a wry amusement in watching the humans get more and more drunk and rediculous and we preyed on those who took advantage, leaving them just scared enough not to repeat their offence. Jake had, apparently, limitless money so we watched endless movies, went to concerts by our favorite bands, ate in expensive resturants just because we could. We lived as though it was one, long last day.
We had spent the day walking together in the setting sunlight, following a path that took you to the most beautiful points of the city. Night had just settled as we returned home for a quiet evening together. Jake was laughing as he swept me into his arms and carried me through the hall, kicking the door shut as he went. He swung me down gently to kiss me passionately.
"I love you Asha," he said, a little breathless " More than anything."
"And I love you," I replied, equally out of breath "More than I could ever say."
"How touching." The third voice had both Jake and I spinning around. We both faced the intruder, empty-handed. My weapons were upstairs and Jake was unprepared to fight. The injustice of who was there felt like a blow, crushing any relief I might have felt.
"Don't do this Lee, please." I met his icy green eyes beseechingly, feeling sick.
The green eyes narrowed to slits. "I suffered torture the likes of which you could not imagine my love. I suffered that for you. To let you have your time. Now, its time things went back to normal."
"You have to catch me first." I said, before wrenching my hand out of Jake's grip and sprinting upstairs to my swords. Just as I had them in my hands, Lee tackled me to the floor. I brought the hilt of one down on his head as the other skittered out of reach. He paused, dazed, allowing me to throw him off, sending him smashing through a wall. I found my mask, putting it on, and managed to shoulder my pack-which had lain ready but undisturbed the past months-before Lee stirred again. I grabbed Jake's pack and ran to the hall, where he was waiting.
"Run!" I yelled, throwing the pack to him. I heard shifting rubble, meaning Lee was on his feet upstairs. Jake nodded, leaving the house. I turned to follow, then felt a pair of powerful arms lift me off my feet. I yelled wildly as there was a kiss of blessed steel between my ribs.
Two Council agents had me by the arms. They laughed as I began to weaken.
"No!" Jake threw himself at one of them. There was a sickening crack as he flew limply back onto the street. He hit the pavement, leaving a crater and didn't move. One of them swore.
"He said leave them both alive, Lee." He grunted, turning as Lee arrived at the bottom stair.
"Unless it was necessary." Lee's voice was acidic and cold as he regarded the pair. "He also said do not harm the girl but you seem to have poisoned her."
The pair looked at me, realising that I could no longer stand. Lee took me from them, swinging me into his arms. I no longer had any strength or inclination to resist. He returned my swords to their scabbard.
"Your secrets are safe with me." Lee muttered, almost inaudiably. "I will not betray your identity. Your friend is dead though. You have to come back else you will be the same." He then gave me enough blood so that I could pass out, which I did so gratefully. The last image I had was of Jake's body discarded on the pavement. I knew it would be seared on my mind for years to come. I had killed the one I loved.

Do i need a chin implant? (photos)
Hi ! Im 19 from France and i have some trouble with my chin that i consider to recessed , i really want to make the operation but my parents said that It is not real and that everything is ok So This is why I look for notices of professionals ! :) An implant could improve the balance of my face ? It is adapted for me ? Thank you in advance!
Doctor Answers 5
Do i need a chin implant?
Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is weak. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.

Your chin is undersized causing an imbalance to your appearance. A chin implant can correct that imbalance and enhance your appearance.
Do i need a chin implant?
Hello mass59 - Thanks for your question. Yes, you could benefit from a chin implant to increase the projection of your chin, visually lengthen your jawline, and create a more angular look to your jawline from the front view. At 19yo your facial bones have completed their growth, so an implant is possible. In my office, it is a procedure we perform under local anesthesia similar to the experience in a dental office. I would recommend that you consult with a facial cosmetic surgery specialist in your area for more information. Good luck, Dr. Shah

The photographs demonstrate a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can augment and improve facial balance and proportions. Only the patient can answer the question as to whether or not they want to proceed with a chin implant procedure. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, and can be placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. The size and the shape of the implant is determined at the time of the consultation and examination, since the mandible and the implants are both three-dimensional structures. In our practice, we use Implantech brand Silastic chin implants. For more information, diagrams of the implants, and many before-and-after examples, please see the video and the link below
Web reference: https://www.seattlefacial.com/chinimplants_photos.html
Candidate for a chin augmentation
Without an exam your question cannot be answered. However, your photos are helpful and you are probably a good candidate for a Chin Augmentation. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

Miles Davis Protégé Wallace Roney to Launch Detroit's Templar Jazz Series December 30 & 31
Internationally acclaimed Miles Davis protégé Wallace Roney Sextet will be the inaugural performance for the "Templar Jazz Series" at Detroit's Historic Masonic Temple on December 30 and 31.
On Friday, December 30, the Wallace Roney Sextet will perform two shows at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $28 (standing room), $38 (balcony,) and $48 (main floor.) Patrons attending the first show can stay for the second show for a nominal fee of $15.
On Saturday, December 31, the Wallace Roney Sextet will host a festive New Year's Celebration that includes a sumptuous buffet at 7 p.m., concert at 9 p.m., and big screen viewing of the ball drop from Times Square (along with party favors) following the concert. Tickets are $63 (main floor), and $53 (balcony) for the concert only, and an additional $20.12 for dinner buffet.
Both nights will include a post-show meet and greet with the band, including photo opportunities, in addition to three fully stocked cash bars. Valet parking will be available.
Tickets for all three shows are now available through Ticketmaster and at the Masonic Temple box office.
Wallace Roney is an acclaimed jazz trumpet player who is currently touring the world in support of his latest CD, "If Only For One Night." As Miles Davis' only chosen protégé, Roney has had the honor of performing with his legendary mentor at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Roney has also appeared with the biggest names in jazz, including Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespsie, and Chick Corea. Performing hundreds of shows a year, Roney is dedicated to pushing jazz to even greater heights.
Templar Jazz Series Director Stephen Badalament is thrilled to present the concerts within the magnificence (and rarely open to the public) of the Knights Templar Chapel. "This is the first ticketed event in the history of the Templar Chapel," notes Badalament. "As such, we are offering music that will not only be worthy of this room and which respects the sanctity of the space, but that also represents the apex of jazz performance."
"The Wallace Roney Sextet is a benchmark" for the series, which Badalament adds will feature "the world's best jazz artists."
Don't miss a magical night of jazz performance and festivities inside the Masonic Temple.
This historic Masonic Temple of Detroit is located at 500 Temple Street. For more information, please call the box office at 313-638-2724 or TICKETMASTER at 800-753-3000/
Editor's note: High-resolution photos of the Wallace Roney Sextet are available upon request. Templar Jazz Series Director Stephen Baldalament is available for interviews.

Wayland Kennet was a writer and Parliamentarian of heavyweight intellect and independence. He was welcomed back to the Labour Party, his original political home, in 1990 after the demise of the Social Democratic Party. He had been as important a figure as any, outside the "Gang of Four" of Roy Jenkins, William Rodgers, Shirley Williams and David Owen, in forming the new breakaway party in 1981.
He was born Wayland Young in 1923, son of the first Lord Kennet, a First World War hero and one of Stanley Baldwin's ministers, and the sculptor Kathleen Bruce, widow of Scott of the Antarctic. Wayland was sent to Stowe School, still under the direction of its founding headmaster, J.F. Roxburgh. It is not surprising that a combination of his mother's genes and the monuments of the unique park at Stowe, the work successively of Charles Bridgeman, William Kent and Capability Brown, nurtured his lifelong love of architecture and the "built environment" – a phrase which I believe Wayland Kennet coined.
Trinity College, Cambridge, was a seminal influence, though his architecture studies were interrupted by the Second World War, and equally seminal was his service in the Navy in 1942-45. He was ever serious about Defence matters and I have never heard anyone administer such stinging rebukes as his to parliamentary colleagues for being cavalier in their policies about servicemen's lives during a Forces visit to the Far East in 1965. If one's country asked young men to fight, then it was up to that country to provide nothing but the best in terms of quality equipment. If a country thought it could not afford the best equipment, then it should rethink its military commitment and role.
In 1948, Young married Elizabeth, daughter of Captain Bryan Adams DSO RN, who was to be his partner in every sense and a woman with a prolific literary output, taken seriously in her own right as a Defence and environmental expert and scholar.
Two short spells in the Foreign Office, in 1946-47 and 1949-51, made it clear to Young that he was more suited to an "own-man" life, in journalism and authorship, rather than team membership. And, truth to tell, perhaps the Foreign Office found him prickly and difficult in the same way as political colleagues were to do decades later, not least those who admired his intellect, integrity and energy.
The book that made Young's name was his 1949 study The Italian Left. Years later, when I told Altiero Spinelli, the European Commissioner and Communist MEP, that Young, by then Lord Kennet, was coming to join the European Parliament, he said, "Oh, yes, Nenni, Saragat, Taligatti and I all agreed that Young's was the most perceptive study of the Left in Italy in English – or any other language." This was high praise indeed.
The twin interests of architecture and armaments dominated his writing. With his wife, in 1956 he published Old London Churches. Most of his writings related to the East-West conflict, and my own first memories of the Kennets are of going to their hospitable home (J.M. Barrie's former London house, on the Bayswater Road), where Wayland and Elizabeth played hosts to many a seminar on the subject, leading to the production of a Fabian Society or other political pamphlet.
When Labour came into office in October 1964 – four years after Young had succeeded his father as Lord Kennet – Harold Wilson, having had a lot to say about the 14th Earl of Home, was wary of appointing hereditary peers to his administration. Kennet joined the Government in less than auspicious circumstances. Richard Crossman's diary entry for 4 August 1966 encapsulates the position, as Kennet entered the Ministry of Housing and Local Government: "I went back to my table and resumed my conversation. Soon the doorman was back: 'He's on again.' I went back to the phone. Harold's voice: 'I'd forgotten to tell you I want you to have Kennet as well.' 'Kennet!' I said. 'But what for?' "Instead of Dick Mitchison.' 'But Dick Mitchison,' I said, 'is absolutely first-rate.' A rather dry voice replied, 'He's over 68, we want young blood. You must trade him in.' I said, 'Thank you very much.' And that was that."
Kennet devoted himself to constructive ministerial grind, in particular the Town and Country Planning Act, especially the sections dealing with historic buildings and the centres of historic cities. Perhaps his most valuable work was as Chairman of the Preservation Policy Group, from whose thinking came the legislation on controlling works to listed buildings by putting a blanket building preservation order on all buildings of architectural or historical interest, and the clause deterring owners of listed buildings from allowing them to fall into disrepair. Kennet-inspired studies of Chichester, York and other medieval cities brought credit to the Ministry of Housing. Dame Evelyn Sharpe, the formidable Permanent Secretary at the Ministry, told me she liked working with Kennet, because he showed such a fertile mind in teasing out solutions to problems. And the problems on which Kennet worked in the 1970s were of an importance which went some way to compensating for the fact that he was not included in the 1974-79 Labour government, although he was appointed a Foreign Affairs spokes-man in the Lords.
From 1970 to 1974, Kennet was the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Oil Pollution of the Sea, which in the aftermath of the Torrey Canyon disaster of 1967 was a topical issue. Later, he was an active member of the Cathedrals Advisory Committee and Redundant Churches Fund.
In 1975, Kennet visited China, where the universities had re-opened after the Cultural Revolution. This is how he described his experience to his colleagues in Strasbourg, in a typically thoughtful passage: "The Cultural Revolution had settled the great question: who selects undergraduate students? The question was answered: their workmates in the fields and factories where they have been between school and the university... From this fact we may be sure that there will be rapid technological advance in that country with the generation of students who are just now emerging into the national economy."
During his brief membership of the Labour Delegation to the indirectly elected European Parliament, in 1978-79, Kennet spoke for the Socialist Group on Foreign Affairs and Pollution, and tried to spur Europe into following Britain in enforcing new international conventions on insurance liability and the Law of the Sea.
Kennet, living in London, faced an educational problem, which Labour MPs, with families growing up in their constituencies do not face in such acute form; the difficulty was described by Crossman in his entry for 18 May 1968: "This evening Wayland, Elizabeth, Anne and I all had a terrible argument about children's schooling. They had sent their children to primary and comprehensive schools in London but now they're sick of it because the children don't do well. They've taken the boy out and sent him to a fee-paying school where he's learning Latin at the age of 10. One of their girls was taken out and sent to a grammar school where she could try for Cambridge. They have much more experience with comprehensive schools than us because their children are older and I'm sure we shall find many of the same difficulties. But I couldn't help saying that Labour ministers have a special responsibility. Wayland disagreed and suddenly we were in the eternal argument about what we socialists should do with our children. They took the broad Balogh view that the children come first and one must find out what is best for them and do it. I said, 'That may be true of other people, but, if you're a Labour minister you can't, or you shouldn't.' Then, because I hate sounding self-righteous, I got bad-tempered and we had a filthy row that got worse when it spread over on to Vietnam."
It was perhaps the schooling dilemma which sowed the seeds of Kennet's disenchantment with the Labour Party which, a decade later, led to the creation of the SDP.
Kennet entertained a high esteem for the writings of Arthur Koestler. In 1963 Koestler edited a collection of essays entitled Suicide of a Nation?, in which John Cole, Cyril Connolly, Henry Fairlie, John Grigg, Hugh Seton-Watson and Lady Kennet (Elizabeth Young) described the signs they perceived of Britain's accelerating decline. It influenced Kennet powerfully, and prompted Kennet to direct his considerable energies to spatchcocking together a collection of essays under the title The Rebirth of Britain (1982).
As a former Labour colleague, who was deeply angry with Kennet for having been one of the half-dozen prime movers in forming the SDP, who split the Labour Party and so consigned the Left to Opposition for a generation, I have to confess it was a formidable contribution, and possibly the most seriously pored-over book of the mid-1980s. In his introduction Kennet wrote: "This is not a warning book: it's a 'let's get on with it' book."
Kennet made sure that the tone of the writing was gentle and concerned. He believed that those who had become social democrats were as weary of the stale messianics of both Margaret Thatcher and the then Labour Party as they were of their facile diagnoses and zany – a favourite Kennet word – remedies.
It was Kennet's bustling pressure that extracted thoughtful contributions from the late Peter Jenkins on "The Crumbling of the Old Order", David Marquand on "The Collapse of the Westminster Model", Shirley Williams ''On Modernising Britain", Bill Rodgers "On Industrial Partnership", Roger Morgan on "Breaking the Mould without Rocking the Boat" and David Owen on "The Enabling Society". The first essay, appropriately, was a regurgitation of Roy Jenkins's 1979 Dimbleby Lecture, which was the catalyst for the founding of the SDP. Christopher Brocklebank-Fowler, erstwhile Conservative MP for King's Lynn, reflected on "Joining the SDP from the Right", and Sue Slipman balanced that, as an ex-Communist, with "Joining the SDP from the Left". Arguably the two most profound essays were by James Meade, the Nobel Prize-winning Cambridge economist, on "Restoration of Full Employment", and Kennet's essay on "East-West Relations for a Medium Power".
For Kennet, the way that Communism was being forced on the Russian people constituted a great spiritual loss for the smaller peoples beside. Freedom to meet other peoples and to experience their language and culture was for many an inseparable part of liberty itself. From the bottom of his heart, Kennet put it: Why can we not come and go at our own sweet will in Russia, as freely as we can in one another's countries in the West? Why can we not behave naturally there? This is Europe, after all.
As his colleague in the European Parliament, I noticed that, along with Gwyneth Dunwoody, Mark Hughes and John Prescott, Kennet was one of the best among the British MEPs at making friends with colleagues of other nationalities. He had a healthy, intense curiosity about other people.
Perhaps Crossman captured the essence of Kennet when he wrote in May 1966: "My last meeting that day was a full-scale Ministry conference on historic buildings. Kennet is really splendidly energetic. Though he peeves me a little by his desire to take everything over, I am delighted that he is that sort of person."
Kennet's capacity to peeve other people – and it existed – was surpassed by his energy and capacity to identify worthwhile causes.

Grey Goo
He opened up a window
And with tears in his eyes
Cast away his children
To live up in the sky.
They ate up all the clouds
And stole away the rain,
And when men tried to kill them,
He made them once again.
And now the sun beats down
On an arid, baking land,
And he loves his nanobot children
Though this isn't what he'd planned.
They learned to learn,
And they learned what they could eat,
And soon they were digesting
Everything they'd meet.
They never stop secreting,
An antiseptic goo,
That's grey and slightly icky,
And all that's left of you.

Kelsey Watson leads the way for the Aggies in the circle with a 3.28 ERA, going 15-10 with 15 complete games and three saves while striking out 109 batters and allowing an opposing batting average of .246 in her 153.2 innings of work this season.
The 2013 season saw the Lady Buffs register an NCAA Division II single-season record 310 base-on-balls to break the record of 288 held by Barry University that was set back in 1988. Senior shortstop Alyssa Lemos registered a team record 46 walks during the 2013 season to break the record held by Meghan Brown (45) back in 2012, Lemos passed Brown to become the all-time NCAA DII career leader in walks during last Saturday afternoon's opener against Angelo State with her 169th career walk.
The Lady Buffs played 29 games at Schaeffer Park in the regular season including 13 of those coming in Lone Star Conference action. The Lady Buffs carry a perfect 29-0 record at Schaeffer Park into the postseason. WT is 102-16 (.860) at Schaeffer Park since the facility opened prior to the 2011 season.
Entering the weekend, the Lady Buffs ranked first in all of NCAA Division II in homeruns per game (1.69), on-base percentage (.474), slugging percentage (.665) and win/loss percentage (.926) while second in scoring (8.74) and fourth in doubles per game (2.06) and fielding percentage (.977). Individually, senior shortstop Alyssa Lemos is sixth in walks per game (0.85) while Rita Hokianga is 11th in strikeouts (219) and 16th in victories (21) with Renee Erwin ranking eighth in individual slugging percentage (.956) and ninth in batting average (.481) while Erwin and Jessica Sipe are tied for 10th in homeruns (17). The national rankings reflect games played thru Sunday, April 27th.

Reintroducing Industry to the City
On the 30th anniversary of form-based codes, something interesting is happening, writes Hazel Borys. Cities which have been coding for character are starting to recognize the true value of land, and the ROI of their infrastructure investments. In doing so, they're reintroducing industry to walkable formats. And the market is rewarding them.
Borys writes:
"All sorts of large format uses ended up in something we still call "Special Districts." Not because they're special, but because they aren't inherently walkable, and don't really fit in the rural-to-urban shape sorter we call the Transect. These typically auto-oriented Special Districts (SDs) generally include uses such as industrial, big box retail, medical centers, and airports."
"However, in the cities, such as El Paso, Texas, that have started seeing the value capture inherent in using the SmartCode, they're loathe to let something even as usually unwalkable as an airport give up the extra value of mixed use."

STEVE INSKEEP, Host:
And since we're talking about elections, let's talk about paying for them. Because with money tight, election offices across the country are facing cuts. That means voters could be could be in for surprises; longer lines, fewer voting options, when they turn out for next year's primary and general elections.
NPR's Pam Fessler reports.
PAM FESSLER: A lot of decisions about the 2012 elections are being made today. How many voting machines are needed? Where should polling places be located? How many poll workers have to be hired?
Gail Pellerin is county clerk in Santa Cruz, California. She says she's considering trimming the number of voting sites there by about 20 percent next year, because her budget keeps shrinking.
GAIL PELLERIN: Each year they come back and say do more with less, you know, we're going to end up having to give you less again. And my extra help budget is also, you know, those are folks that we bring in during election time to help us out and that's been reduced.
FESSLER: So her voters might have to travel farther to cast their ballots and wait longer for help. Election office workers also face mandatory furloughs. And Pellerin, who's heads the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials, says the state's no longer paying counties to send out absentee ballots or to process mail-in voter registration forms.
PELLERIN: So counties are having to decide whether they're going to continue those programs independently of getting any state funding.
FESSLER: And if they do, where they'll get the money. In South Carolina, the State Election Commission is also feeling the squeeze. In 2000, the office had a budget of over $2 million. Today, it's making do with less than a million - a 60 percent cut, says spokesman Chris Whitmire.
CHRIS WHITMIRE: Basically, we're down to a critical level, sort of a bare bones level, where if we saw any more cuts I think it would have a significant impact on our ability to provide services to counties.
FESSLER: Services such as maintaining a statewide voter registration database. Many election offices face similar challenges next year, when a near record turnout is expected. Washington State has canceled its state-run presidential primaries to save $10 million. Other states have shortened the number of days for early voting. And many election offices are consolidating precincts, cutting out paper voting guides and encouraging people to cast their ballots by mail - all in an effort to save funds.
DOUG LEWIS: It's all the little cuts that finally add up to saying, holy moly, how do we do this?
FESSLER: Doug Lewis runs The Election Center, a national association of election officials. He says voters should be prepared that lines will likely move more slowly in 2012 - at the very least. He's asked his members to put things in the starkest terms.
LEWIS: If they cut your budget 20 percent, which 20 percent of the voters do they not want to vote, you know? And this is where we are.
FESSLER: One of the biggest concerns is the impact on all those new voting machines purchased after the 2000 elections. Charles Stewart is an election expert at MIT. He says this computerized equipment is much more costly to maintain than the old punch card and lever machines.
CHARLES STEWARD: I don't think many people, myself included, really recognized, back a decade ago, that this computerized equipment has a relatively short lifespan.
FESSLER: About 10 to 12 years, which is right around the corner. Stewart says some cash-strapped election offices are even deferring or canceling maintenance contracts.
STEWARD: The worry, of course, is that either machines will fail, causing, you know, localities to have to kind of double up or to borrow machines, or not have enough on election day.
FESSLER: Another thing to worry about, in an already complicated process. But it's not all bad news. Beth Dlug, who oversees elections in Allen County, Indiana, got a reprieve last week. The county council reversed its decision to make her run the 2012 elections with less money than she has to run this year's much smaller municipal elections.
BETH DLUG: We are just so relieved. We were very, very concerned about how it was going to affect the election.
FESSLER: Now, she won't have to cut hundreds of poll workers and voting machines next year. Although it's too late to revive her plan to set up satellite voting sites to encourage early voting - a move intended to save money in the long run.

Addleshaw Goddard has found itself the subject of a sexual discrimination claim brought by a construction litigator who claims she was treated unfairly after returning to work following mater-nity leave.
Ragene Raithatha brought her claim after leaving Addleshaws in September 2005, having worked at the firm's Manchester office since 2001.
Raithatha is claiming up to £50,000 in damages from Addleshaws for sex discrimination, constructive dismissal, part-time discrimination and victimisation.
She alleges that, when she returned to work in early 2005 following the birth of her second child, she was told she could no longer work in construction litigation.
Instead, she was told she was being transferred to non-contentious construction work.
Raithatha alleges that the firm told her it would be impossible to work as a litigator on a part-time basis and that the firm had failed to consult her over this.
A spokesperson for Addleshaws told The Lawyer: "We're actively contesting this claim and are confident the tribunal will find that the firm acted entirely appropriately and has no case to answer."
Weightmans employment partner Steve Peacock represented Raithatha in last week's Manchester employment tribunal hearing.

The two-week target dates for Click It or Ticket have come and gone, but don't think that Sgt. Wilbur Gross of the Cynthiana Police Department will be getting lax on seat belt tickets.
Between May 23 and June 5, there were 111 seat belt citations issued as well as six citations for failure to use proper child restraint device.
Just because the national campaign weeks have passed, don't be lulled into believing that no one's paying attention to your driving habits.
I am often cautioned by my veteran editor/boss when I start writing versus reporting, but when it's a column, anything is fair game.
Since I started reporting for the paper, a lot of changes and adjustments have occurred in our community.
I always try to be unbiased when reporting those changes and adjustments.
If there is one thing I have learned it is that local government needs no help in finding controversy, so I let them create their own.
To the editor:
The time has come once again to take in our county Relay for Life, which is Friday, June 24. Take a minute of your time if someone asks you for a donation, hear them out. It doesn't have to be a lot; even $1 helps.
To the editor:
On behalf of the parishioners of St. Edward I wish to thank everyone who supported our recent Ice Cream Social. It was a great success. All proceeds benefit the operation of St. Edward School.
We appreciate the kindness and generosity of our local businesses who provided items for our silent auction. We are grateful to the many members of our local churches and community who stopped by and enjoyed some great food, delicious cake and ice cream.
To the editor:
A few weeks ago, Harrison County, in its usual fashion, responded to a community in need. The area was Franklin County, Ala., which received a direct hit from a large tornado. A group of local farmers decided to find a location similar to ours and help with supplying materials that would begin to put their lives back together. Nearly $15,000 of fencing and building materials were sent from Harrison County on a truck donated by Sadler Trucking (Mark Sadler). The following is an update on what happened to the materials.
To the editor:
The Hospital Board and HMH Staff are to be commended for sponsoring a reception on June 12 to honor the lengthy and highly successful medical practice of Dr. Joe A. Nichols.
Janice and I went to Dr. Smiser for a few years before Joe started his practice in that office. It was easy to transition to Dr. Nichols, and we were with him until his retirement. Being born during the Depression, I thought of Joe as one possessing many of the admirable traits of the "country doctor".
To the editor:
No matter how many times I visit our hometown museum I leave with more knowledge of our community's history, more appreciation for Harold Slade and the Historical Society, and great pride for what I consider a jewel in the crown of our town.
A very good friend of mine from Cincinnati came down late Saturday for an overnight stay with us. She wanted to get a feel for the place I call home and go away having a "visual" picture of all the places I speak about when we're together.

|Batch mutation dropping String bytes
|Mon, 28 Jun 2010 07:29:47 GMT
Hi all, I thought the dev list would be more appropriate for this discussion. I'm having issues inserting Numeric Range keys in Lucandra and I've determined the issue (I think). Numeric keys are encoded with a trie data structure. The bits of the underlying values are packed 7 bits at a time into a UTF-8 character. Bits are then shifted from the right LSB, and the number of bits shifted is put as the first byte. This gives an array of bytes with the characters actually containing bit values of the underlying long data type. Here is the source that performs the shift operations. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/tags/lucene_3_0_2/src/java/org/apache/lucene/util/NumericUtils.java?revision=955593&view=markup I've created a JIRA issue with a test case that displays the error. I have a test that demonstrates the input in both direct write mode and batch_mutation. I can only reproduce the bytes getting dropped via the batch mutation operations. My second test that performs direct writes correctly writes and retrieves the values. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1235 Where would I begin looking at the fix for this? Its unfortunately killing our productivity, and doing single write inserts as a workaround is woefully inefficient for the amount of data we need to write. Thanks, Todd

The agile development model implements beta testing in an "always on" or "evergreen" methodology in order to address consistent changes through regular sprints.
Agile Beta Tests are tests of software products developed and maintained under the Agile development model. Due to the Agile model's credo "release early, release often," actual Agile beta test phases are generally short but very consistent and predictable.
Agile betas often occur in an "evergreen" model, with a persistent pool of candidates receiving new early builds with each sprint as they are released, providing feedback for a very short period prior to the final release version being made available to a wider audience.

Google is going offline: it will begin targeting offline print properties and will distribute advertising to them through its Google AdWords and other context-based ad services, according to Patrick Keane, formerly the VP at Jupiter Research, is now head of sales strategy at Google, speaking at the Jupiter Online Media Conference and later to PaidContent.org. A lot of print properties are still not online, especially the trade magazine and print newsletters, and "content targeting is a very important function for them". Google plans to sell its context-based ads to these print properties and help them sell advertising in the process. "We want to replicate this model offline and are seriously thinking about starting this soon," said Keane.

Ex AMD employee offers a solution for microstuttering
A member of the Beyond3D forum says to have developed a method to noticeably reduce the microstuttering.[br]
Humus, a former employee of Ati used a Radeon HD 3870 X2 for his experiments. The problem is that the two GPUs deliver the calculated frames at an irregular interval and therefore the signal output is irregular, too – the image seems to stutter. The solution is a mechanism that keeps the second GPU from working before the first one has finished the half of its current job. This results in a smoothened frame output.
According to Humus, he implemented two queries, one for each GPU. With those queries the frame output is synchronized. The result is that the time between each frame is more constant. Because of that the game seems to run smoother.

Fox Re-Boots Marvel's Fantastic Four
Originally Posted by

Some have questioned whether Disney overpaid when it bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. After all, its best known Marvel Comics superhero franchises are parked at other studios, and Universal's Islands of Adventure is as dominated by Marvel attractions as it is Dr. Seuss.
But one thing to remember about Marvel assets is, they don't seem to wear out. We're about to see the second example where successful Marvel movie franchises are going to be reinvented.
20th Century Fox is the latest studio to start the process of overhauling one of its big Marvel Entertainment franchises, Fantastic Four, which has already hatched two films. The studio has hired Akiva Goldsman to oversee the re-boot as producer.
New script will be written by Michael Green, the Heroes co-executive producer who co-wrote Green Lantern, the Martin Campbell-directed Warner Bros. film that will star Ryan Reynolds.
Fox would not comment on its plans, and neither would Columbia Pictures when BFD revealed a couple weeks its plan to potentially re-boot the studio's most valuable franchise, "Spider-Man."
With Spider-Man 4 moving toward an early 2010 production start, the studio recently hired James Vanderbilt to write a fifth and sixth installment of the web-slinger franchise, with the understanding that one or both could give that franchise a makeover with a new director and cast (Daily Variety, Aug. 16, 2009). Whether director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire return or not, Sony smartly has given itself the chance to shorten the gap between its superhero installments.
And with state-of-the-art visual effects on superhero franchises pushing these pictures toward the $250 million-$300 million range, reshuffling the creative cast gives the studio a chance to save money, since actors and directors usually have a pre-negotiated option or two before the studio is held over a barrell by talent and their reps.
Marvel Studios has eliminated that problem by making talent sign as many as nine options, which was the case with the supporting cast of "Iron Man 2."
The 2005 Fantastic Four and 2007 sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer were directed by Tim Story, and starred Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis. Since the deals are just getting made, it is unclear at present if any of them will return.
Though Marvel Entertainment owns and finances properties like Iron Man and Thor, Fox controls Fantastic Four in perpetuityas long as it continues making the films. Fox has the same arrangement on Marvel Comics properties X-Men, Daredevil, and Silver Surfer --which, despite an appearance in the "Fantastic Four" sequel, is still a Fox priority for a solo film.
Marvel is a producer and financial participant through a licensing agreement signed before Marvel franchises had the drawing power they have now. In fact, the original deal was made back when Marvel was struggling to pull itself out of bankruptcy in 1997.
Fox has been extraordarily effective in mining its Marvel franchises. The studio made three X-Men films, and then a hit summer spinoff in Wolverine. Fox is working on a sequel to that film, and has scripts for X-Men Origins: Magneto," and X-Men Origins: First Class," the latter of which could bring original "X-Men" helmer Bryan Singer back to the fold. Potential spinoffs for the Gambit and Deadpool characters seen in "Wolverine" have also been discussed.
As producer, Goldsman is involved with several DC Comics transfers, including Jonah Hex, The Losers and Teen Titans. He was also producer on the Will Smith-Charlize Theron-superhero film Hancock, a film that has a sequel in development.
