The trendiest health trend of 2010? Giving up gluten, apparently. I know lots of people who are going bread- and grain-free after suspecting intolerance issues. And a friend of mine told me she's giving up gluten (refresher: it's a protein found in wheat and some grain products) this New Year for an entirely different reason. "Why?" I asked her the reason, knowing that she doesn't have any gluten-intolerance issues (Celiac disease). "Because gluten is evil," she said. Huh? Turns out, there may be some science to this, though it's very controversial ...
Evil or delicious? You decide.
"Something you're eating may be killing you, and you probably don't even know it," cautions Mark Hyman, M.D., in a blog post on the Huffington Post.
"A recent large study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people with diagnosed, undiagnosed, and 'latent' celiac disease or gluten sensitivity had a higher risk of death, mostly from heart disease and cancer," he writes. "Another study comparing the blood of 10,000 people from 50 years ago to 10,000 people today found that the incidences of full-blown celiac disease increased by 400 percent (elevated TTG antibodies) during that time period. If we saw a 400 percent increase in heart disease or cancer, this would be headline news. But we hear almost nothing about this."
Despite Hyman's shocking (and, well, pretty convincing!) warnings about gluten, there are countless more physicians who do not believe that gluten is the evil one and would not recommend that you change your diet unless you're experiencing symptoms of intolerance. But, I will admit, Hyman's post leaves me a little bit intrigued and hungry to learn more. Even if I am hungry for a nice warm slice of bread, too.
Let's discuss: What are your feelings on gluten and health?__

Using this technology, the school broadcast a combination of varsity and JV contests for boys' and girls' ice hockey and basketball during the winter, and Head of School Jim Clements hosted a nearly hour-long conversation on school life with student and faculty panelists. Moving forward, the technology will be used to broadcast academic and athletic awards, arts events, athletic contests, and future conversations with the head of school. The service has allowed alumni and parents worldwide to tune into life on the Hill through the Internet.
Once every three years Tilton School plays host to the Northern New England Wrestling Tournament. On February 4, 15 schools and more than 200 wrestlers descended on campus for the day-long event. And in the end it was a great day to be a Ram. Tilton finished third overall, earned the event's Sportsmanship Award, had two wrestlers crowned Northern New England Champions (David Welch '12 and Pat McInnis '12), and three more advance to the finals of their respective weight class. Veteran Head Coach Jon Rand was joined on the mats this season by storied Tilton wrestler Joe Harbour '04.

That's exactly what Head of School James Clements had in mind when he concluded his office should be located on the second floor of the new academic building, "smack in the flow of the school." "My goal has always been to get more students in here and make a visit to the head of school's office not a trip to the woodshed," Clements said.

Reflections from Tilton and the community...
"Jim sees learning as actually going out in the world and taking your knowledge and skills and doing something with it. Jim's own words he often sends to students are 'What can you do every day to make the world a little bit different, a little bit of a better place?' And I think these principles that he lives by in his own life actually have permeated the program of Tilton School in that way." - Tilton School Academic Dean Dr. Margaret Allen
"Jim really has been an enlightened, enthusiastic and inspirational leader to the board of trustees. More than anything, he took the shroud off the school and allowed us to shine in a way we never had thought in the past was possible. And for that, I'm forever grateful to him." - Former Tilton School Board of Trustees Chair Stephen M. Anderson '65
"There's a quote, 'A rising "The fact the Spaulding Youth Center board had so much faith in Jim Clements as chair, that it was willing to take a huge risk to find resources to build a new school, speaks of him as a person and a leader. Jim gave them the confidence that we could pull this off." - Susan S. Calegari, chief executive officer and president of the Spaulding Youth Center
"If you have to describe a quality that's befitting of Jim, it's that he pulls the best out of people and compels them to do well and, along the way, he compels them to do better than they would have done without him being around. It really is infectious." - Pat Clark P'99, '01, Tilton-Northfield Fire District commissioner and Spaulding Youth Center trustee
"One great attribute of Jim is that his level of choosing to reach out to new school heads is phenomenal. The support and mentoring he provides for our professional colleagues is exceptional. We will miss him." - Doug Cummings, executive director of the Independent Schools Association of Northern

tide raises all boats.' Well, Jim has helped raise the tide up here and I think all of us and our schools are better for it." -PHILLIP PECK, HOLDERNESS HEAD OF SCHOOL
(continued from page 6)
Peter C. Saliba, the Berwick Academy upper school director who will replace Clements as Tilton's 26th head of school, said he has watched Tilton's stature among Lakes Region prep schools dramatically improve because of Jim and Bev Clements. "When I walk around campus, it is clear the school has taken on Jim's energy and sense of purpose," Saliba said. "Tilton truly is a place that reflects Jim's hard work and vision." Clements' personal style and touch can be seen in virtually all aspects of Tilton School, whether it's enrollment, academics, athletics, the successful Campaign for Tilton or relationships with the town of Tilton, surrounding secondary schools or the Spaulding Youth Center in Northfield. "Frankly, he did a hell of a job," said H. Alan Hume, who was chairman of the board of trustees when Clements was hired. "But he never lost sight that it's all about the growth and development of young kids." Bev Clements also was involved in the effort to improve the Tilton campus. In addition to her time as a ceramics teacher in the Art Department and her role as special events coordinator, working with a three-person aesthetics committee, Bev helped to select exterior and interior materials and colors for the new academic building and senior girls' dormitory. She also reconfigured the first floor of the Daly Creative Arts Center and orchestrated needed signage throughout the campus. Among the trustees, Jim Clements long will be remembered for coaxing the board to raise the school to a higher level. Former Chair of the Board of Trustees Stephen M. Anderson '65 remembers 2002 when the school faced an unexpected drop in enrollment and a $600,000 deficit. Clements gave the board three choices: stay the same, shrink the school or grow the school through new initiatives. By 2004, the board had launched the Campaign for Tilton to grow the endowment and build two new buildings. "We chose the hardest course, which was to move the school forward," Anderson said. "It really was a watershed moment." While Clements was improving the campus, he simultaneously sought to improve relations between faculty and students after detecting reliance by staff on rules and sanctions to control teens rather than the belief in mutual trust. "Fundamentally, it said to the kids, 'You're not trustworthy. We really don't respect you,'" Clements said. "Philosophically that was contrary to what I believe. I would say that over time, some of that changed." Clements also questioned the school's traditional lecture-based classrooms and the dreaded three-hour comprehensive exams given to all students in the dining room. Academic Dean Dr. Margaret Allen praised Clements as being an early proponent of "Understanding by Design," advanced by a then relatively unknown educator, Grant Wiggins. "The Understanding by Design piece intrigued him," Allen said. "Because Jim saw how learning could develop an understanding of concepts, of ideas, of information skills that you can apply to new what you have learned in one situation."

Reflections from Tilton and the community (continued)
"I'm a bit impatient and when I was chairman, I wanted to move Tilton ahead as quickly as possible. I would say, 'Let's do this and let's do that.' But Jim would want to lay back a bit and think about it. In looking back, he was right and I was wrong. You have to make political capital before changing the world." - Former Board

"The most profound advice Jim has ever given me as a head of school is to keep it in perspective—do your best, serve your school, but remember, it's a job and it's not about you. He reminded me that ego has no role in this job. Being an effective head of school is communicating well and putting your ego in the backseat. That consistently was the message he modeled and shared for me." - R. Phillip Peck, head of Holderness School

"Jim and the board had a vision for the next stage of Tilton School. Jim was such a driving force making the Campaign for Tilton happen. He could deliver the Tilton story like no one else. And that's why the Campaign was a success." - Nick Zaharias, former Tilton School director of development

I joined Twitter early in 2009 when the company was about 40 employees and we have since grown to over 900. I spend most of my day talking to other startups and investors about how to properly partner with Twitter and how to best use the services we offer. The job has been an amazing opportunity that allows me to work with some of the smartest people in our industry on things that have huge global impact. It has been an incredible learning experience.

Jack Crawford was on campus for Veterans Day. He spoke movingly to the entire student body about the importance of being lifelong learners and the importance of service to one's country through jobs that focus on giving back, such as teaching and the military. He also led the school in a spirited Tilton fight song, which they sang before they took the fields and reclaimed the Powder Keg.
Planning ahead has played an important role in the growth and success of Tilton School. The Tilton Society honors all those who have included Tilton School in their estate plans through a bequest, a life income gift or other planned gifts. When you make a planned gift to Tilton, you become a member of the Tilton Society for life. Planned gifts have supported many things including scholarships, faculty endowment, buildings for classrooms and labs as well as enrichment opportunities for faculty and students. This special group is recognized at Alumni Weekend each year.
Bob Hunter is still running. He recently gave a speech extolling the benefits of "more mature" runners getting off the roads and instead, running on turf.
For additional information or to let us know you have included Tilton School as part of your estate plans, please contact Sandra Hollingsworth, director of development, at 603-286-1749 or visit our website at www.tiltonschool.org/plannedgiving.
Steve Kates writes, "I am enjoying being involved in the Alumni Council and recalling many fantastic memories of Tilton School. One of my favorite memories was when I summited Mount Washington as a student leader with boys from the younger Forms and barely made it to the cabin before falling victim to a snowstorm. Those were the days."
Dick Nutter writes, "Happy to see Dick Ryerson inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, November 12. Talked to him afterward and he was thrilled. On a sad note, Sherm Prouty lost his 11-year battle with a blood disorder and passed away on Sunday, November 13. We will all miss him." Arthur Wilband writes, "Thank you to everyone who made the 50th Reunion fantastic. It was great seeing all the guys again. Looking forward to our 55th. Please keep in touch."
John Morton was inducted into the Vermont Ski Hall of Fame in October 2011. Congratulations, John!
Steve Anderson writes the following, "I have stepped down from the chairmanship of the Tilton board but will remain a board member. I celebrated 43 years with my beloved wife, Mary, this year. We have two daughters and three grandchildren. I have begun to do some woodworking and am about finished with a 7' replica of an antique Chris Craft for the grandchildren to ride around in (continued on page 20)

We winter in Naples, Fla. where we are in the same neighborhood as Flip Hamblet '65 and Mike Sayles '65. I have been retired from my investment career for seven years...and just love retirement."
If you could offer thanks to Jim for one contribution, what would it be? 68 Melissa Thompson Currier '90: It has been my joy to see how you have helped the small school I remember become more of a community than ever before. Although the number of people on campus has not changed all that much since my days there, the school seems bigger somehow. The energy has been both focused and contagious. The collective student and faculty experience is broader and deeper. The alumni network is more engaged. The impacts of programs and activities are greater and promise much more to come. Tilton, and all those who it has touched, are better for your able presence and contributions. Sarah Barrett '96 (Alumni Council Member): Among the many things Jim has accomplished over the past 14 years, I'd like to thank him for embracing the alumni community—and especially the alumni who preceded him. By championing the involvement of past students through the Alumni Council and other channels, he has truly made incredible strides in strengthening the Tilton School fabric. Thank you, Jim. Francis Gros Louis '48: Although many of us attended Tilton School long before you joined the list of distinguished headmasters, we are aware that you have been a good example to colleagues, contemporaries, disciples, students and even other prep school administrators. Your career at Tilton School has been an excellent commentary on your character and you are now retiring with the knowledge that you have truly made a positive difference for the future of our beloved Tilton School.

Mike Mayo writes, "Greetings! This past summer the class of 1981 celebrated its 30th Reunion. Joining in the festivities were Bob Claridge, Jill "Buzz" Thwaits Anderson, Dale Johnson Cunningham, Greg Wenckus and myself. The inclement weather kept some away but we had a great time and Coach Willis drove up and joined us for lunch. Everyone looks great and we had plenty of laughs. Andy Soutter and his family didn't end up joining us due to the weather, but we enjoyed his lobster dinners just the same. Thanks, Souts! I met up with John Lacey and Melanie Marken for breakfast around New Years and I am happy to report John is alive and well, still living in Winchester, and the father of two grown sons. I had the opportunity to drive my kids up to a Tilton basketball game in January and it was a great time for my kids and me. For those of you who don't know, Tilton is a basketball powerhouse and is nationally ranked. I encourage everyone to come up and check out a game sometime next year.
Please stay in touch. I am on campus regularly as a member of the Alumni Council, and Tilton has grown. It is an impressive academic institution. Stay in touch and send me your updated contact information."
Melanie Marken writes, "Another busy year crisscrossing the country in 2011 for Peet's Coffee and Tea. It's still a job I love as I enter my 12th year. 2011 brought me new responsibilities at work, such as a larger team of people to manage, and additional national partners to manage as well. But, I also travel for fun, which has included another trip to Greece, and two weeks in Turkey this fall. Over the holidays I enjoyed a night out with Bob Segal and PJ Cambo. We are all a little bit older, but the laughs kept on coming. My volunteer work for Tilton as Alumni Council president and special trustee keeps me busy and back and forth to campus. Bobby Segal and his girls, Allison Sawyer Fox and her husband, Tom, and kids, Dylan and Natalie, along with Mike Mayo '81 and his son, Mike Jr., went up to campus to see a boys' basketball game. I also crossed paths with John Izzo a few weeks back. John lives in Peabody with his wife, Christine, and works for Boston Probation. John is an avid runner, sharing the road with his son and daughter. Mike Cole also writes, 'I still live in New Hampshire, just south of Tilton, near Winnisquam Lake.' Mike stays in touch with his class via email, and has been known to show up at Tilton and show his son where he spent part of his high school years. Mike describes the ice rink as 'looking like the TD Garden.' I agree it has come a long way in 30 years. Jack Klein writes from Denver, Colo., where he has been a full time resident for the past nine years and now sounds like he is a Tebow believer! Eve Camp Capetola has been continuously busy with her clan of five kids, all aspiring hockey stars. Eve and her husband, David, are working together with his own medical supply company. Bob Segal has completed his MBA, (congratulations!) and is an avid runner. Bob writes, 'I still work for my family business and am busy with my family, including daughters Libby and Allison.'

Melissa Thompson Currier writes, "We are back in New England! We found a wonderful antique colonial, circa 1767, in need of some love and attention in Stratham, N.H. You can check out the house at http://thisoldpurplehouse.blogspot.com. The Seacoast is a great place to live and raise our family. Charles and Eleanor, now five, are enjoying romps in the woods and lots of exploring at Great Bay and at local farms. Our "vintage" early-20th century kitchen is cramping my cooking style a bit, but it's hard to cook anything badly when it's fresh and local. Did I mention we love it here? We get down to Wellfleet often and are anxious to get back to some sailing (here, there, anywhere) now that we are reasonably settled. I just finished the master gardener program through the UNH Cooperative Extension and will spend the winter developing teaching materials on heirloom gardening and
edible plantscapes. I look forward to joining the team at Strawberry Banke in the spring to improve/expand the children's garden and programs there. Finally, my mom is retiring from our family business in antique reproduction lighting, so I will be attempting to fill her very capable moccasins in the New Year. Somewhere in there, we are hoping to attend a hockey or basketball game now that we are local. Go Rams!"
Nick Dambrie writes, "I am living in Maine running my real estate team and sailing when I can. I recently got engaged to my soon-to-be-wife Hadley. We are planning a fall wedding in St. Lucia and a sailboat racing trip to Mexico in March. I'll be spending a weekend in March with Pat McTigue, who still lives in Florida.

Tell us yours! Visit www.tiltonschool.org to join the conversation.
During my first year, the girls' basketball team had just earned the number two seed for NEPSAC playoffs and went to grab a bite to eat. While we were there, Jim walked in to pick up his takeout. He didn't say anything to us, just a wave from afar, and walked out the back door. We were finished and getting ready to pay our bill, the waiter brought us a note on a napkin and said our bill was taken care of. The note said, "Congratulations! Now the fun begins." It is still hanging on my fridge three years later to remind me of the belief and support he has in us. I look at the note every morning for motivation.

water backing up from basement drain
I just had my tenant call me and she stated water, maybe sewer matter, is backing up from the basement floor drain. It is a very old house, early 1900's. Do I rod it out? Is it possible that the cast iron pipe from the house to the city sewer has rotted away?
199 Attachment(s)
Probably needs rodding. However, there is the possibility that the floor drain is on a branch line with say, a clothes washer. The secondary line may be the issue and not the main building drain. Given the age of the plumbing, I'd wager on the main line.
But definitely a clog which needs to be addressed. Around here, the line to the street is terra cotta if the house is over 30 yrs or so. Very prone to problems.
Ok. So I had a company come out and rod the pipe to the sewer main in the street. He pulled out several handfuls of tree roots. Now he wants to come back with a hydro jet for $900 that may or may not clear the pipe. He stated the pipe out to the. main in the street has collapsed. What will hydro getting do other than make it look Luke a clean collapsed pipe? Earth will still come inside the pipe. I'm banking on the rodding working and the hydro jet is there way of making more money? Or is the hydro jet ligit?
199 Attachment(s)
jetting is legit. In your case(roots) I would use a "root rat" attachment. It uses high pressure water to cut the roots off at the inner wall of the pipe joint. A cutter head on the rod only tears at the roots, leaving lots still intact. I use a camera to precisely place the root rat on the roots- about every 3' in clay pipe.
As for the collapsed pipe- jetting won't fix it but may help the flow by removing debris in the line.
Back to the camera- have you seen inside your sewer line?

I've posted about Hardy Cyclamen here and here. I love it. It's such an unusual plant. It has these beautiful leaves all winter. Then in the summer they disappear. Poof. In the fall, delicate pink flowers appear out of nowhere. Really, check out the above links, you'll see the picture of pink flowers popping out of what appears to be barren ground. Then the flowers go away, and the leaves appear. Isn't that fun?!
Please join me for Garden Tuesday. AND yes, I know it's Monday, but I'm doing a book review tomorrow. AND, if you are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant, have a baby or children, and love all things French, tune in tomorrow. I am, of course, none of those, other than the French thing, but I loved tomorrow's book!

Court's Net Neutrality Ruling Could Hurt Startup Companies
Published January 16th, 2014
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE -- North Central Florida Internet users could eventually have to pay more to use many of their favorite websites after a federal court struck down the government's rules enforcing "net neutrality."
The concept of "net neutrality" has been around since the dawn of the Internet -- it's the belief that all web users should be able to access the same websites regardless of who provides their Internet service.
In 2010, the Federal Communications Commission developed rules to enforce net neutrality, but those rules were struck down by a federal appeals court on Tuesday.
While any potential effects would be years away, legal experts say the ruling means consumers could be required to pay more in the future based on what websites they visit.
"The danger, if we believe the people that are advocates of net neutrality, is that higher charges will be levied for those who suck down and use more broadband, which indeed is a real possibility," said Clay Calvert, Director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at UF.
If Tuesday's ruling stands, Calvert says small businesses and Internet-based start-up companies could also be negatively impacted.
"Large vested interests -- the broadband service providers -- may discriminate against those new small start-up companies, and shift traffic and direct it to larger companies in which they have an ownership interest, or some kind of vested stake," said Calvert.
Despite striking down the net neutrality rules, Tuesday's ruling did reaffirm the FCC's ability to regulate Internet service, meaning the government could re-write it's 'net neutrality' regulations using a new legal foundation, ensuring the Internet does remain open.

Jewish Cemetery at Weissensee
About 1876 the Jewish community acquired for a new burial ground in Weissensee an area of more than 40 hectares including considerable reserve spaces. Hugo Licht, who as city architect of Leipzig from 1879 to 1906 did much to shape the face of that city, had the architectural elements of the new Jewish cemetery built of yellow brick in forms reminiscent of the Early Italian Renaissance with some Romanesque and Baroque details in red sandstone. Hugo Licht was also responsible for the division of the cemetery – consecrated on 9 September 1880 – into 120 burial sections/grave fields. The severe geometric layout is softened by variously shaped ornamental squares, from which main and secondary paths radiate and fan out, thus creating charming views. In 1910 a second stately hall of mourning had been built, the ruins of which following its wartime destruction were not removed until 1980. In 1926 no fewer than 200 staff were employed in looking after the extensive garden sections and 72,000 burial plots. The efficient horticultural department had five large greenhouses.
Opened in 1880, the Jewish Cemetery at Weissensee is not only the most extensive inner-city burial ground in Berlin today, but also the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe in terms of area. However, it owes its unique significance not only to this fact and its artistically remarkable collection of tombs, but above all to its close links to the fate of Berlin's Jewish citizens. Buried in Weissensee Cemetery are men and women who made distinguished contributions to medicine, the natural sciences, the humanities, the plastic arts, literature, journalism, technology, industry, commerce, and municipal politics.
In the Weissensee Cemetery however, we also find the graves of those who, threatened with deportation to a Nazi extermination camp, took their own lives. Commemorative plaques remind us of Jewish concentration camp victims and a memorial stone of the members of the resistance group around the young Jewish communist Herbert Baum, who were executed in 1942/43.
In Weissensee, as in scarcely any other Berliner cemetery, one can follow the development of sepulchral art from 1880 to about 1939 on the basis of a wide range of specimens, some of them of exceptional quality. There are well known – and some very elaborate – tombs designed by the architects Erdmann & Spindler, Lachmann & Zauber, August Orth, Bruno Schmitz, Alfred Messel, Ludwig Hoffmann, Martin Dülfer and Walter Gropius, and the sculptors Otto Stichling and Hans Dammann.

Report: RIM Allows Saudi Arabia to Monitor Users
Saudi Arabia made headlines last week when it announced that it would be banning BlackBerrys nationwide from Friday, August 6. However, Friday came and went with nothing but a couple of minor interruptions to services. Saudi Arabia then said that it was working with RIM towards a solution; all data would be passed through a Saudia Arabian servers before continuing on to RIM's own Canada-based servers.
However, it would seem this proved too impractical, and now RIM has supposedly agreed to hand over encryption codes to the Saudi Arabians. Reuters cites a source that says RIM will share the unique pin number and code for each BlackBerry registered in Saudi Arabia, allowing authorities to read encrypted text sent via BlackBerry Messenger. The source told Reuters that this arrangement effectively gives Saudi Arabia access to RIM's main server for Messenger, but only for communications to and from Saudi Arabians.
The Saudi Arabian telecoms regulator did not confirm if an agreement had been reached with RIM, but highlighted that positive developments had led to progress.
"In light of the positive developments in completing part of the regulatory requirements from the service providers, the regulatory authority has decided to allow the continuation of the BlackBerry Messenger services," the regulator said.
No word on whether or not the United Arab Emirates will follow through with its threat to ban BlackBerrys if RIM does not allow it access to encrypted messages by October.
climberSo much for privacy and secure wireless smartphones. Yes let's make everything completely insecure like an open OS, I hear Android has it's first baby malware, congrats all around. And the thing about iPhones not having pron? Check out the "AFF" app on the apps store.... yeah Various Inc, i.e. Penthouse Media Group, Playboy's competitor, owner of over 25 adult sites now has direct iphone, iPod access.
rcmaniac25From what I remember reading about the BlackBerry networking system, RIM's statement still stands. There aren't any "codes", there are public and private servers. RIM can't get to the private (businesses/BES) servers but they do have the public servers and those are usually per-carrier (they said that each telecom in Saudi Arabia is testing a server and that three servers were given out, there are three telecoms in Saudi Arabia so it fits). RIM has given public servers to other telecom providers around the world so since Saudi Arabia (and most likely followed by other countries) agreed that they wanted the public data if anything they wanted the public servers. I still don't like it, I would rather no one have access to the servers but somehow the key needs to be known on both ends so someone has to control it. Now as long as they can't snoop on what I am doing since I am not in their country (as if my country doesn't do it themselves).
Not for long, SA owns over 11% of the USA's material wealth and the figure is climbing.
Here's how it works.
The USA gives money to the Arabs for oil.
The Arabs pour the money back to the USA to buy shares, equity, bonds, etc.
The USA takes the oil and burns it.
It's like buying milk & bread with the deeds for your house.
Thats why SA should be an oil producing colony and nothing more.
Terrorism is and will always be just an excuse to spy on your ass.

Q: Do you think there should be a move away from US dollars as the reserve currency?
A: It's happening anyway. Gradually, little by little, when you look at the reserves held by central banks around the world, there is very slightly a change. It's not a massive change, granted.
Q: Central bankers say the problem is that the Euro doesn't have any equivalent to the Treasury bill, and the SDR is insufficiently liquid.
A: That's a good point.
Q: So do you think there's a way forward, perhaps by pressuring China.
A: I don't honestly believe that pressuring anybody is going to give us any tangible, satisfactory result.
Q: So what happens then? This is a crisis we've been facing since the beginning of the last decade, and balance-of-payments imbalances were at the heart of the crisis.
A: I think that out of crisis, there are major difficulties and misery, but there are also opportunities, and now is the time, actually, post-crisis, after we mended the system so that it did not completely collapse, now is the time to give it a good thought, and a collective thought.
We have never been so much together - both at the G7 level and more importantly at the G20 level. Even though we don't talk currency at G20 - which is why I think G7 is not such a bad thing to have.
Q: So you think there is a consensus on the currency?
A: No, I don't think so, I think it's a question of trying to work on a consensus. On the one hand, the United States is saying 'our rescue plan is to export massively, and to restore employment' - well, if you want to export massively and restore employment, you need to manufacture at home, which means that you need to use the currency as your competitive advantage. So if the dollar is down relative to others, it's probably ok with respect to President Obama's economic policy. On the other hand, China is rebalancing its model a bit by better organizing its domestic market and trying to encourage consumption, yet it strongly relies on exports - and therefore there is no reason in the world why they should resume the movement they had started a little bit, up to a year ago, to revalue the yuan. That's why we need to talk about it - it's a big issue.
Q: Speaking of stimulating consumption , this is another area where consensus is being sought: When, and how much, to roll back the stimulus or begin paying back the fiscal debts for it. The United States has begun cutting, and some parties in Britain want to: Is there any hope of coordinating the withdrawal from stimulus?
A: We [in France]have a very simple policy, which rotates around three Rs: Recovery, Reform, and Restore public finance.
Recovery means we are going to continue spending, under the stimulus package that was voted last year, because we have organized it so that about 80 per cent of it was spent in 2009, and we still have 20 per cent to go. So we're not going to cut that 20 per cent. But we're not either looking at expanding the stimulus package or having another one. We believe that if we maintain the 20 per cent investment that is left under the stimulus package plus to not raise tax on consumers, this combination on one hand and stimulation of public/private investment should suffice.
On the reform front, we should just keep at it to make the French economy more flexible, more agile, more prone to picking up the wind of growth when it comes from the outside and there is demand addressed to the French economy.
And on restoring public finance, we just have to do it, because we have more than doubled our deficit in 2009, and we need to go back to business as usual from a public-finance perspective.

Every summer, there's one broad R-rated comedy that takes everyone by surprise. Last year it was This is the End, the year before that Ted, and in 2011, Bridesmaids broke records and became a legitimate phenomenon. This summer's only getting started but even with a slew of big comedies including A Million Ways to Die in the West, 22 Jump Street and Sex Tape still to come, it's going to be pretty hard to beat the hilarity of Neighbors. Nicholas Stoller's latest laugh-a-thon may not be his best (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) or his most romantic (The Five-Year Engagement) film but it's easily his bawdiest. But what makes Neighbors such a memorable time is that beneath all the over-the-top bacchanalia and copious penis jokes is a comedy that reveals a remarkably deep level of character and heart.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne star as Mac and Kelly Radner, a 30-something couple with a cute toddler, a healthy sex life, and a heavy mortgage. Although the couple tries to keep up with the hyper-active, alcohol-fueled lifestyle of their 20's, the burdens of parenthood, among other things, is beginning to take its toll. For example, they spend all day meticulously planning an evening of partying with their recently single friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo) only to pass out from exhaustion as they get ready to leave the house.
One day, a moving truck pulls up in front of the vacant house next door, unloading a hoard of frat boys led by Teddy (Zac Efron), Pete (Dave Franco) and Scoonie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Initially, Mac and Kelly see the guys at Delta Psi Beta as an opportunity to re-invigorate their youthful impulses and wild college days without many of the risks (they live right next door!). They even drink, do drugs and have intelligent debates about Batman with Teddy and Pete.
But their honeymoon with their 20-something neighbors comes to an abrupt end after the parties seem to never end. Awkward requests to "keep it down" turns to quiet grumbling which in turn leads to arguments. When the arguments don't curb matters, the cops enter the fray. And well… if you've seen the trailers, you know what happens next! The situation turns into an all out WAR, with each side trading progressively dangerous (and hilarious) pranks at the other's expense.
A decade ago, the role of the fraternity party monster could have have been Rogen's for the keeping (see Knocked Up, Pineapple Express) so it's a bit startling at first to see him play a responsible dad. But he makes a surprisingly sweet and responsible parent proving that he's come a long way since Knocked Up. What's more, his chemistry with Byrne is so good that you believe and identify with the couple's hardships – be it the fraternity or the mortgage payments.
As good as Rogen is, it's Byrne who takes the film's MVP honors. The Australian actress has shown promising chops in serious dramas like Damages, but her scene-stealing work here, Stoller's Get Him to the Greek as well as Bridesmaids unveils her natural gift for comedy. Her deadpan delivery, facial expressions and "awkward cool" persona are the perfect ying to Rogen's foul mouthed pot-head. I'd even venture to say she's wilder than him. Efron may not steal Byrne's thunder but he's clearly relishing the opportunity playing the dim-witted, arrogant and near-psychotic Teddy. The role allows him to play up his pretty-boy persona but also to bring it all crashing down with a jackhammer, especially during the movie's darker moments.
Neighbors is not without faults. Four movies into his directorial career, Stoller's prowess at creating memorable visuals leaves a lot to be desired. The script by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O'Brien could have used some tightening and freshening up—how many times do we have to watch a slow-motion montage of two uncool people pretending to be cool as a hip hop song plays?
These are minor grievances though because for most of its jovial running time, Neighbors takes a one joke premise and turns it into fodder for 100 clever ones. It succeeds as a witty fraternity comedy and a spot-on commentary on the price of adulthood all at once. It makes you laugh your butt off but also lets you know that you may want to party all night with your friends like you did in college but eventually, the only place you'll want to enjoy is that comfy bed.

REPORT: American Idol to Drop All 4 Judges
American Idol may look a bit different next season - the show reportedly will be replacing all four judges.
According to The Wrap, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban - and even Randy Jackson won't be asked to return for season 13.
A show insider told The Wrap, "All four are gone. They feel they've lost their core audience and they want it back."
The Wrap also indicates that executive producer Nigel Lythgoe will not be returning; Ryan Seacrest seems to be the only veteran staying.
Ratings for this season of Idol have been way down, hitting a record low of just 11 million viewers last week.
At its peak the show pulled in 30 million viewers.
Fox has declined to comment on the report.
