You complain above because the Ministry of Children and Family Development is apparently getting an increase in their budget that is equal to what is being doled out for a Bollywood production. What people fail to appreciate is that MCFD already gets massive funding, and doesn't need any more. What they need is accountability, and to stop apprehending children from good parents like Derek Hoare and Paul and Zabeth Bayne.
People don't realize that MCFD takes many, many children from good parents, then throws them to the wolves in foster "care" where they emerge, years later, only to end up on the street, in the prisons, and all too often, in the graveyards. MCFD and all those who profit from MCFD then say - oh, that's because they were traumatized by their parents' abuse. Wrong! It's because the act of apprehension alone is highly traumatizing (getting kidnapped by the state, with police with guns taking you away from your family, whom you love dearly, is not a walk in the park). The subsequent years getting bounced around in foster "care" are also very, very traumatizing for a child. They never feel loved, they feel like - and are - outcasts. They, all too often, get abused, in every way. They are also routinely put on drugs (as was Derek Hoare's daughter, in massive doses). But the money made by the whole system keeps it going. And it is a massive system, comprised of social workers, psychiatrists, the pharmaceutical industry, "experts", foster "parents" who can get thousands a month for housing children who they may feed mac & cheese. Oh I know there are good social workers and good foster parents, but far too few.
What MCFD needs is not more money or more social workers. They need to be accountable for all the lives they have destroyed, all the families they have ripped apart, all the suicides of children "in care" and parents who have lost those children and are heartbroken and hopeless, and the justice system which has been perverted by allowing 21 year olds without children the greatest power on the planet: the power to take away, forever, that which is most precious to you - your child.
And all it takes to have them in your lives in ONE anonymous phone call to the abuse hotline.

Many point to unromantic 20-somethings and women's entry into the workforce, but an overlooked factor is the trouble young men have in finding steady, well-paid jobs.
TOKYO—Japan's population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country's population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan's young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.
But there's another, simpler explanation for the country's low birth rate, one that has implications for the U.S.: Japan's birth rate may be falling because there are fewer good opportunities for young people, and especially men, in the country's economy. In a country where men are still widely expected to be breadwinners and support families, a lack of good jobs may be creating a class of men who don't marry and have children because they—and their potential partners—know they can't afford to.
Biology textbooks tell us that lichens are alliances between two organisms—a fungus and an alga. They are wrong.
In 1995, if you had told Toby Spribille that he'd eventually overthrow a scientific idea that's been the stuff of textbooks for 150 years, he would have laughed at you. Back then, his life seemed constrained to a very different path. He was raised in a Montana trailer park, and home-schooled by what he now describes as a "fundamentalist cult." At a young age, he fell in love with science, but had no way of feeding that love. He longed to break away from his roots and get a proper education.
At 19, he got a job at a local forestry service. Within a few years, he had earned enough to leave home. His meager savings and non-existent grades meant that no American university would take him, so Spribille looked to Europe.
The transcript of the president's conversation with The New York Times throws his shortcomings into greater relief than ever before.
"Now Donald Trump has finally done it" is a sentence many people have said or written, but which has never yet proven true. As Trump gained momentum during the campaign season, errors that on their own would have stopped or badly damaged previous candidates bounced right off.
These ranged from mocking John McCain as a loser (because "I like people who weren't captured"), to being stumped by the term "nuclear triad" (the weapons of mass destruction that he as U.S. president now controls), to "when you're a star ... you can grab 'em by the pussy" (my onetime employer Jimmy Carter had to spend days in the 1976 campaign explaining away his admission to Playboy that he had sometimes felt "lust in the heart"), to being labelled by an in-party opponent a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," and "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen" (the words of his now-supporter Ted Cruz). I kept my list of 152 such moments in the Time Capsule series as the campaign went on.
Amidst the no-shampoo revolution, a look at global hygiene habits
Cleanliness, it turns out, has been one dirty trick. One reason early-20th-century Americans ramped up their weekly baths to daily showers is that marketing companies capitalized on the insecurities of a new class of office drones working in close quarters. As Gizmodo wrote last week, to sell products like "toilet soap" and Listerine to Americans, "the advertising industry had to create pseudoscientific maladies like 'bad breath' and 'body odor.'"
Take, for instance, Gizmodo's description of the philosophy of the Cleanliness Institute, which was founded by the Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers:
The trade association wanted Americans to wash quite unwittingly after toilet, to wash without thought before eating, to jump into the tub as automatically as one might awake each new day.
The president also angrily lashed out at the media and his critics.
President Trump lashed out at the media in a Saturday morning tweetstorm, insisting his authority to issue pardons is "complete" and expressing frustration over stories that revealed Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have lied about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
"A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post, this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions. These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!" the president tweeted, following up by stating that "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS."
The tacit acknowledgement the president has been thinking about his pardon power in relation to the Russia investigation, and the qualification that no crimes but leaks had been revealed "so far" raised eyebrows among media observers.
On Flower Boy the rapper suggests he's not straight—and struggles with a stigma he helped propagate.
Tyler, the Creator became famous, in part, for being hateful. When his rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All ("Odd Future" is fine) caught buzz around 2010, it was because of their delirious energy and Eminem-like love of mayhem. But it was their threats against women and "faggots," delivered in song and on social media, that elevated them from subculture phenomenon to become essay prompt and political flashpoint. The likes of GLAAD and the band Tegan and Sara declared Tyler poisonous and asked the music industry to stop supporting him. Theresa May, back when she was home secretary of the U.K., took the extraordinary step of banning him from her country because his lyrics "encourage violence and intolerance of homosexuality."
A report suggests the president is looking for ways to get out of the accord. It says a lot about how he views the world.
There was a lot of news lost at the end of last week when Sean Spicer, the hapless White House press secretary, finally resigned. In any other news cycle, the revelation that Jared Kushner forgot about $10 million in assets on his ethics forms (we've all been there) or a U.S. senate candidate siding with members of the alt-right over the Anti-Defamation League would have garnered more attention.
One story that should not slip underneath the radar, however, is a report that the Trump administration has apparently entrusted a small group at the White House to undermine the Iran nuclear accords over the objections of the Departments of State and Defense.
The news says a lot about two very narrow ways in which the administration sees not only Iran but the greater world. First, some members of the administration have failed to see the admittedly very real challenges presented by Iran outside the binary U.S.-Iranian contest for influence in the Middle East. Second, and most importantly, some members of the administration still do not understand that much of what the United States has been able to accomplish over the past two decades has been achieved through coalitions that could actively resist U.S. efforts to roll back those accomplishments.
The Senate parliamentarian's rejection of important provisions of the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill puts its status in further jeopardy.
On Friday, Senate Democrats released a list of provisions in the Republican health-care bill that the Senate parliamentarian holds can pass via a simple, filibuster-proof majority vote. Among those provisions that didn't meet her scrutiny are the bill's plans to defund Planned Parenthood, restrict tax-credit funding for insurance plans that provide abortions, and a six-month "lockout" period from purchasing insurance for people who don't maintain continuous coverage.
If this preliminary guidance holds, the Better Care Reconciliation Act—which is already in dire straits—seems likely to fail.
The final assessment of the parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, is a critical step in the GOP's strategy for passing their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. Republicans have opted to pass their health-care legislation via the special reconciliation process, under which they can cut debate short in the Senate and thus eliminate indefinite filibusters, which Democrats would certainly use in order to block any attempt to repeal Obamacare. But bills have to follow a certain procedure—called the Byrd Rule—in order to pass by reconciliation.
Epic yet intimate, the director's new war film is boldly experimental and visually stunning.
What is Dunkirk?
The answer is more complicated than one might imagine. Director Christopher Nolan's latest is a war film, of course, yet one in which the enemy scarcely makes an appearance. It is a $150 million epic, yet also as lean and spare as a haiku, three brief, almost wordless strands of narrative woven together in a mere 106 minutes of running time. It is classic in its themes—honor, duty, the horror of war—yet simultaneously Nolan's most radical experiment since Memento. And for all these reasons, it is a masterpiece.
The historical moment captured by the film ascended long ago to the level of martial lore: In May 1940, in the early days of World War II, some 400,000 British and Allied troops were flanked and entrapped by Germany on the beaches of Dunkirk in northern France. Although the Channel was narrow enough that the men could almost see across to England, the waters were too shallow for warships to approach the beaches. So a flotilla of some 700 civilian craft—the "Little Ships of Dunkirk"—made their way from Ramsgate in England to assist in the rescue.
A new study explores why the latter are far more likely to opt for an elite college where they'd struggle than a so-so one where they'd excel.
There's a saying in China that it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. The premise of the aphorism—it's better to be over-qualified than under-qualified relative to one's surroundings—is so widely accepted that similar versions of it exist across cultures. In Japan, they tend to say that it's better to be the head of a sardine than the tail of a whale. Americans and Brits often declare that it's better to be a big frog (or fish) in a small pond than a little frog in a big pond.
Extensive research supports these axioms, particularly in the realm of education. Longitudinal studies have consistently shown that high-performing students at less-selective schools feel more competent, have higher GPAs, and have more ambitious career aspirations than low-performing students at more-selective schools.

Why the odds are in Howard's favour
Page Tools
IT'S quite possible that John Howard will beat Sir Robert Menzies' record and become Australia's longest-serving prime minister. I was reminded of this on Wednesday while listening to John Singleton address the Fabian Society on the subject of whether Labor can win the next federal election. He said people only win anything if they believe they can. Labor, riven by dissent and self-doubt, clearly doesn't believe in itself.
According to Singo, there is one person who believes Labor could win the next election, and that's John Howard. This means Howard will try harder to beat Labor than it will to beat him. Why this will occur is partly due to character.
Said Singleton: "I've known John Howard a long time, since we were young men. And I've never met anyone who more wanted to be prime minister."
I suspect this is true. According to Howard's brothers and others who knew him as a young man, he has been fascinated by politics since his early teens. It is not (as it is in some other politicians) simply a matter of ambition or wanting to change the world. Howard also has a deep, disinterested interest in the subject, its processes and traditions.
When he was in opposition I had a number of long conversations with him and was struck by the objectivity he frequently brought to consideration of his party's problems. Quite apart from his own career, he just loved being in Parliament. There was nowhere else he would rather have been.
I don't mean to suggest he lacks ambition or considerable talent. Clearly he doesn't. But his world view is more circumscribed by the life of politics than that of most of his colleagues. And his wife, Janette, and his family seem to support this - which is why I suspect he won't resign until he has to.
There appear to be no clouds on the horizon. Geoff Walsh, a former ALP secretary, acknowledged to the Fabians this week that the economy will probably be strong come the next election and the international security situation still as favourable to the incumbent parties.
As for the opposition, one suspects it couldn't be better. Like all very successful leaders, Howard makes a lot of his own luck but is also lucky too. He acknowledged this once when he said the times suit him. So do the personnel. The two contenders most important to a man in his position, his internal and external rivals, are far less ambitious and tough than he. Peter Costello and Kim Beazley: it simply doesn't get any better than that. It would be worse if he had no opposition at all, for then voters might start to worry about unchecked power, or simply grow bored.
But Costello and Beazley are strong enough to give Howard a fight but too weak to win it.
The necessary spectacle of a struggle is provided with the help of the media. This is most obvious in the semi-regular stories of a leadership challenge, which are largely media creations. One has only to recall Paul Keating's attacks on then prime minister Bob Hawke to see Costello has almost no support and has never posed the slightest challenge to Howard.
The challenge stories are flummeries concocted out of the slightest material, in which journalists often struggle to find one backbencher prepared to go on the record and say John Howard should resign. It's a farce, but very useful to Howard, and it reminds him not to give way to pride.
Then there's Kim Beazley, the finest Opposition leader a government could wish for. (Singleton says he now can't tell how the Opposition differs from the Government.) A better leader might win an election; a worse one might be replaced. Having seen off opponents within his party, Beazley is perfect for maintaining the status quo.
The media is central to Beazley's position because it continues to take him seriously even though he doesn't deserve it. When an opposition becomes as irrelevant as Labor is now, the media should just turn off.
But we can't do that because media organisations have a commitment to politics, in terms of people and offices and programming, that needs an outlet. And so we keep pretending that Beazley and Costello deserve to be taken seriously as leadership contenders. It's virtual politics.
Menzies was prime minister twice: from 1939 to 1941 and 1949 to 1966. If Howard wins just two more elections - and they're about three years apart - he will surpass Menzies' major term in office.

Neither Daniel nor Sebby have shown particular skill at the track so who knows who comes out the winner of the inter team battle...however I don't predict a Senna 1992 where one of them beats the dominant Williams after they won the first five races. And before the fanb0iZ be hatin': I just looked up Vettel's qualy record at Monaco to confirm my impression that he isn't particularly good there and he's 3:3 against his teammates, including getting outqualified by the one and only Sebastien Bourdais in 2008. Also 1 fortuitous win around the place for 4 championships in at least 2,5 vastly dominant cars is a poor Monaco win ratio IMO. Daniel was 1:1 vs Vergne in qualy and retired twice in the race so that's nothing to write home about either. Reply Report abuse 10 agree 1 disagree

Date: Tuesday, December 5, 2000 @ 14:15:10 Author: tgl Update of /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/rewrite from hub.org:/home/projects/pgsql/tmp/cvs-serv7977/src/backend/rewrite Modified Files: rewriteDefine.c rewriteHandler.c rewriteManip.c ----------------------------- Log Message ----------------------------- Repair breakage of rules containing INSERT ... SELECT actions, per bug report from Joel Burton. Turns out that my simple idea of turning the SELECT into a subquery does not interact well *at all* with the way the rule rewriter works. Really what we need to make INSERT ... SELECT work cleanly is to decouple targetlists from rangetables: an INSERT ... SELECT wants to have two levels of targetlist but only one rangetable. No time for that for 7.1, however, so I've inserted some ugly hacks to make the rewriter know explicitly about the structure of INSERT ... SELECT queries. Ugh :-(

§62-2-10. Defects not invalidating indictment.
No indictment or other accusation shall be quashed or deemed invalid for omitting to set forth that it is upon the oaths of the jurors, or upon their oaths and affirmation; or for the insertion of the words "upon their oath," instead of "upon their oaths"; or for not in terms alleging that the offense was committed "within the jurisdiction of the court," when the averments show that the case is one of which the court has jurisdiction; or for the omission or misstatement of the title, occupation, estate or degree of the accused, or of the name or place of his residence; or for omitting the words "with force and arms," or the statement of any particular kind of force and arms; or for omitting to state, or stating imperfectly, the time at which the offense was committed, when time is not of the essence of the offense; or for failing to allege the value of an instrument which caused death, or to allege that it was of no value; or for omitting to charge the offense to be "against the form of the statute," or statutes; or for the omission or insertion of any other words of mere form or surplusage. Nor shall it be abated for any misnomer of the accused; but the court may, in case of misnomer appearing before or in the course of a trial, forthwith cause the indictment or accusation to be amended according to the fact.

2012 Atlanta II: Ford NASCAR Sprint Cup Qualifying Quotes
Posted by: ASkyler on Aug 31, 2012 - 08:15 PM
2012 Atlanta II: Ford NASCAR Sprint Cup Qualifying Quotes
CASEY MEARS - No. 13 Geico Ford Fusion - "Itâs been the roughest day weâve had in a long time. There are a lot of different concepts going on right now. We kind of went down a road at Michigan with a certain direction and it didnât really seem to apply here, so we had to bail on that about three-quarters of the way through practice and go back to what we think is something a little bit more basic. We didnât really have time to tune it, but the guys did a good job. Thatâs the best itâs been all day. I think weâre going in the right direction and Iâm glad weâve got the practice tomorrow to refine it."
DAVID GILLILAND - No. 38 House-Autry Ford Fusion - "Weâve just kind of fought loose all day. Weâve got House-Autry on board and I think the car looks great, but we were just too loose. Youâve got to be able to get to the gas and go here, especially in qualifying trim, and we just havenât been able to do that today. We made it better and made some gains, but still need to be better. Weâre gonna go to work on it and get it better for tomorrow."
TREVOR BAYNE - No. 21 Camping World/Good Sam Ford Fusion - "That was a really bad run, probably our worst qualifying of the year. That kind of bums me out a little bit, but weâre in the show and weâll race really well. I wasnât very good on entry. I couldnât drive it in as hard as I wanted to and I couldnât see. I know itâs a bad excuse, but I couldnât see in turn one at all with the sun in my face. Everybody else is dealing with it too, but I just missed my marks down there on both laps and I couldnât get back to the gas because the car was just way too free. Unfortunately, we missed it on that one. We missed the cloud, missed the setup a little bit and I missed my line, so when you have three things like that go wrong itâs not the best day, but weâre in the show and we can go race now."
MARCOS AMBROSE - No. 9 DeWalt Ford Fusion - "It was OK. We struggled in practice and got a bad draw and weâre gonna pay the price for that, but Iâm proud of my team. We laid down a decent lap there. It wasnât awesome, but decent. This is a really tough one-and-a-half mile race track. It doesnât feel like the traditional one-and-a-half mile because the track is so old with low grip and itâs rough. Youâve got to really mandhandle the car around there. Thereâs no easy way to get around a lap, but I feel good about it. I feel good where weâre at and weâll start somewhere in the front half of the field for Sundayâs race and weâll get after it and try to get ourselves another win."
DAVID RAGAN - No. 34 Glory Foods Ford Fusion - "Thatâs a pick-up from practice. Anytime you can pick-up some from practice thatâs a solid lap. This is a fun place to qualify. It can be a frustrating place to race sometimes, but our Glory Foods team did a nice job working on the car today in qualifying practice and weâll certainly have a top 20 start. Anytime you can see the leaders when we take the green flag on Sunday is a good thing, but weâll have our work cut out for us. Iâm looking forward to a fun race here."
ARIC ALMIROLA - No. 43 AdvoCare Ford Fusion - "The car feels really good. I missed my marks there in turn one. The sun was really, really bad and was glaring in my face real bad, so I missed turn one a little bit. Iâm sorry about that because I felt like we had a car capable of getting the pole right there and I just missed my marks in turn one, so I think our car is really good in race trim and weâll go from there."
CARL EDWARDS - No. 99 Subway Ford Fusion - "I just got really tight. We tried to adjust for the rising speeds and was just too tight. I think weâve got a really good race car and, fortunately, itâs 500 miles and we can pass here, so it will be good."
MATT KENSETH - No. 17 Ford EcoBoost Ford Fusion - "The car was pretty good. The guys made great adjustments and we had a lot of grip. I kind of messed it up. We were a little too tight. I kind of scrapped turn one and two a little bit and thought I did OK in three and four. I wish I had one more try at it since we were that close. Weâre not gonna be on the pole, but it looks like weâre gonna be in the top five. If Iâm second or fourth, I donât really care that much because itâs more about the finishing position. We really struggled a lot in practice today, so I hope we can find a balance for it tomorrow and hit on something that will drive good for a long run."
GREG BIFFLE - No. 16 3M Ford Fusion - POST-QUALIFYING PRESS CONFERENCE - "It was quite a bit better than practice was. It sort of hurts, though, to qualify second like we did today. You ask any driver after qualifying and they could give you 100 reasons where they made a mistake or where they could do better. I got down in the middle of one and two and just hesitated to push the gas down. I thought the car was loose and sliding and I waited and waited and kind of eased it down and thought, âOh man, Iâm gonna have to run a second lap.â I was thinking I was gonna have to run a second lap to make up for it, and I came by and he told me we were on the front row with an .86. You just wish you could do it over again, but it was a great lap and put us on the front row. Itâs funny how things happen, how tight the times are, and it must have been how I drove it down in the corner, and I got a really good three and four, so that definitely helped us. That gives me confidence we have a good car for Sunday."
HOW BIG IS IT TO START UP FRONT HERE? ON THE BROADCAST THEY SAID NOBODY HAS WON A RACE HERE STARTING WORSE THAN 11TH SINCE OCTOBER OF 2003. "Thatâs big. I saw that, they said top three rows or something, but I didnât know it was 11th. That is important. Typically you have a good car if you qualify up front here and thatâs what I was saying, I feel like I could have actually been a fair amount better than I was, so that gives me a lot of confidence for Sunday that I do have a good car. Thereâs two kinds of qualifying, if youâre hanging on by the skin of your teeth, and you just sneak out a lap, or did you leave a little out there and could have done a little better, and it was the latter of the two. Normally, thatâs not the case but it was here, so a lot of confidence for Sunday, especially when it comes to track position and pit road selection. We were talking in the trailer about how picking on pit road is gonna be important because itâs gonna be four tires pretty much every time here, so that is a different strategy for pit road."
DO YOU PLAN TO MAKE ANY CHANGES FOR THE RACE? "With practice tomorrow weâll probably be close to what we were today, but it could be a little bit different tomorrow, especially with more rubber on the race track. Weâll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings."
ARE YOU AWARE OF WHICH GUYS ARE ON THE BUBBLE OR WHAT GUYS NEED GOOD RACES TO EITHER MAKE THE CHASE OR STAY IN CONTENTION? "I donât know that specifically. I know Carl and the 39 car and a few of those guys are tight on the points, but I probably donât know as much as I should know as far as things like Tony trying to take his bonus points, of course, into the Chase and what-not. Iâm gonna try and focus on keeping the 16 car up front and, really, a win here is what weâre after. Besides that, Iâm kind of like everyone else, it doesnât really matter if we finish in the top 10 or top five. We really just need to win for the bonus points."
HOW DO YOU APPROACH A WEEKEND DIFFERENTLY IF YOUâRE QUALIFYING ON A FRIDAY VERSUS A SATURDAY? "Iâm probably a bad person to ask about the schedule because I have a pretty strong opinion on it. The schedule that we have here this weekend is the schedule we should have all year long - absolutely, bar-none, without question because, first of all, when we have the two practices - all of our race practice today - we canât take advantage of our tire allotments and we donât know what the track is gonna be like tomorrow, and we start off in race trim, or some guys will elect to start in qualifying trim and run just a few laps and then switch over. But when you finish on the race track in q-trim, you know three hours later or two hours later or five hours later, youâre gonna qualify pretty much in the same conditions that you have set your car up for. Today, in fact, is quite a bit different because we did our qualifying practice at 2:30-3:00 when it was very hot out and itâs a lot cooler now. This race track changes a lot. A lot of other places arenât as drastic, so now we can forget about qualifying and focus tomorrow solely on how weâre gonna win the race on Sunday - focus on the car, focus on what we need to do, and, in fact, some more strategy goes into that. If youâre starting 20th versus starting second, you may want to start your car a little bit different than you would starting second. Youâre gonna want your car a little freer if youâre starting 20th because youâre gonna be back in traffic and you need to get your car to turn versus starting on the front row, where you may want it a hair different. I just personally really like this schedule. It works well for coming here for the weekend and getting things planned out. You donât have to switch into qualifying trim to get a fast lap in the first practice because that seeds you. Weâre switching back and forth two times or three times from race to qualifying trim when we qualify on Saturday. It just doesnât seem like itâs as good when we just make one lap on Saturday and thatâs the only thing we do."

Oversight, integrity, and alumni
I've written about Dartmouth's travails with governance a great deal over the past several years. The story is long, convoluted, and, I suspect, numbing for people who aren't in the thick of either Dartmouth politics or higher ed debates. I suspect it's those things for a good many of the people who are in the thick of Dartmouth politics and higher ed debates, too. That's in part due to the internecine, baroque character of academic governance processes. But it's also due to the manner in which so much of the debate about higher ed is centered on shockadelic material--politicized firings, punishment of dissenting students, damaging double standards in policy, extremist faculty rantings, and dumbed down courses--that appeals to a broad public but is not in itself useful for getting at how things work, who makes the decisions, and how things might be changed. It's one thing, for example, to wax appalled by Delaware's residential life program (which deserves plenty of such waxing). But it's another to work out how to effect reform at Delaware (the trustees have recently voted to approve a highly politicized residential life program for next year, despite the efforts of many to alert them to the problems with the program and to encourage them to do their fiduciary duty and deny approval).
Anyhow. All of this is by way of saying that understanding what's really going on in higher ed requires a level of attentiveness that is at odds with the outrage so easily summoned by anecdotes about trivial courses and ideologically challenged professors. It also requires a sobriety of affect that is actively selected against by the "outrage of the day" approach to higher ed critique. Dartmouth's story is a good place to begin exercising both faculties.
In lieu of summarizing again what I have already summarized many times, I will quote the account of Dartmouth's difficulties published in this morning's Wall Street Journal by William McGurn:
In little more than a week--on June 5--elections will close for the leadership of Dartmouth's Association of Alumni. If the establishment slate wins, the board will eviscerate a progressive, 117-year-old arrangement that makes this college in Hanover, N.H. one of the few where alumni have a real say in the way the school is run.
That arrangement dates to 1891, when the trustees were divided into two equal groups, plus two ex-officio members. The first group was appointed by the school itself. The other half was chosen by alumni from within their ranks. In recent decades, because of the way alumni seat nominations and elections were run, these alumni trustees were pretty much insiders themselves, and the relationship with the board was a cozy one.
All that changed in 2004, when T.J. Rodgers--class of 1970 and CEO of Cypress Semiconductor--ran for one of the board's alumni seats. Mr. Rodgers had to mount a petition drive just to get his name on the ballot, and then won election by a comfortable margin. Like many of his fellow alums, Mr. Rodgers is a passionate believer in the liberal arts, and his platform stressed high academic standards, free speech and the primacy of the undergraduate mission at Dartmouth.
"It sounds hammy," he says. "But Dartmouth is unique because it has this great liberal arts tradition and people who just love the place."
Since Mr. Rodgers's election, three other alums have also run as "petition candidates": Peter Robinson, '79; Todd Zywicki, '88; and Stephen Smith, '88. All have run on themes stressing accountability and the quality of undergraduate education. And all have been elected by their fellow alums.
Only in academe could an institution respond the way Dartmouth has. Instead of embracing reform, the Dartmouth establishment and its allies have launched personal attacks on the four popularly elected petition trustees.
In a recent letter from 12 establishment trustees sent to all alumni (a mailing list Dartmouth refuses to share with the elected trustees), the four were accused of pursuing "Washington-style politics" as part of a "political agenda" (read: vast right-wing conspiracy).
To end their influence on the board, the college approved a plan that would transfer real oversight to an unelected executive committee – and give unelected trustees a 2-1 numerical advantage on the board, down from the 50/50 split today.
Mr. Robinson is a fellow presidential speechwriter and friend, and I know Messrs. Zywicki and Smith--both law professors in Virginia--by reputation. All three are reasonably described as conservative.
Mr. Rodgers, by contrast, is a libertarian who favors gay marriage and opposes the war in Iraq. Far from pursuing a political agenda, these men have all run on an Obama-style campaign for change that Dartmouth alumni can believe in. For all to have won the popular vote of an Ivy League electorate underscores the real message here: A high level of alumni discontent with the Dartmouth establishment.
Which brings us back to the current election. Right now, the Association of Alumni is supporting a lawsuit that is the only thing stopping Dartmouth from implementing its board-packing plan. In other words, the election for the association's leadership is in fact a referendum on the board-packing plan.
Daniel King, '02, sums it up well. Mr. King describes himself as "an openly gay man, a teacher, a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party, the ACLU, and the Human Rights Campaign." In an essay posted online, he puts it this way: "The real battle going on is one between an overly paternalistic College administration, supported by a rubber-stamp Board of Trustees that has totally abdicated its oversight responsibilities – and, on the other side, loyal alumni from all sides of the political spectrum who wish to not see the value of their Dartmouth degree plummet and to preserve the historic and unique ties that alumni have to our alma mater."
Question: Do you know how your alma mater handles its board membership? Are you clear on the role alumni can play in maintaining the integrity and excellence of your school? Are you clear on what trustees should and should not be doing? Do you follow what's happening with your school--academically and financially? If these are issues you care about, are you doing what you can to get involved?

Let me confess that I have not the slightest interest in my role as an alumni and even though I still live in the same town as my alma mater, I haven't the vaguest clue what's going on there. I paid my tuition, I got my degree, I moved on.
But still, it's not clear to me how the value of (say) a Dartmouth degree can "plummet" for anyone who's been out of school for more than a year. I run a company and hire people and frankly I don't see much of a differential in value among universities, until you get to third or fourth tier schools. When I was on the other side, the university name on my degree (from a top 5 in the field) did nothing for me or my career. Is there anything really at risk for alumni? Is T.J. Rodgers going to the poor house if Dartmouth decays? Or do I have a warped perception because I am in a technical field where one can acquire at least a rough idea of an applicant's skill level from an interview?
I do understand having a general concern for higher education, and I can see a case for fighting about it at one's alma mater on the single candle theory, but on the basis of degree value? That, I just don't see (although I seem to be the odd one out on that score).

Explosion Results in Casualties
WASHINGTON -The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is closely monitoring activities and has specialized equipment en route to assist in the emergency at the mine explosion that left several dead and several missing at the Jim Walter Resources, Inc.'s No. 5 Mine, near Brookwood, Tuscaloosa County, Ala.
At about 5:45 p.m. Central Time, Jim Walter Resources reported to MSHA that a roof fall had occurred at the mine followed by an ignition of methane gas, and that miners were unaccounted for. MSHA immediately placed a control order on the mine site under which MSHA must evaluate for safety and approve all actions taken during the emergency.
"MSHA officials have been at the mine all night and will remain as long as the emergency continues," said Dave D. Lauriski, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "There have been fatalities, and our hearts go out to the families of the miners who have lost their lives. Other miners are missing, and we are working with the company and the miners' representatives as they make plans to reach the missing miners while safeguarding the teams. "
This morning, rescue teams were withdrawn from the mine after they encountered elevated levels of methane gas, which indicate danger of another potential explosion. MSHA's mobile gas analysis laboratory and communications center are expected to arrive at the mine today.
Further updates will be posted on MSHA's Web site at www.msha.gov.
Once the emergency is over and the mine is made safe for investigators, MSHA will conduct a complete investigation into the accident, Lauriski said.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
According to owner and operator Notorious Nastie (AKA Nassie Shahoulian), Nassie's Famous Franks were conceived to "end world hunger by putting delish dogs inside the mouths of hungry, hungry hipsters." Translation: These wieners are drunk food for cool kids. They include footlong, kosher, all-beef, and veggie varieties. And even though you're free to top your dog with pretty much whatever the hell you want, Nastie suggests you try one of his $6 custom creations. There's the Maui Wowi, a whacked-out snack swamped in pineapple, cheese, and relish. Then you've got the Havanarama, a quintessentially Cuban perro covered in potato sticks, chipotle mayo, and cheese. Or, finally, if you're an anti-meat freak, there's the San Frantastic, a hippie-dippie orgy of tofu, spicy mayo, cheese, and cucumber tomato salsa. For the past year, the best place to get your fill of Nassie's Famous Franks is any number of too-cool-for-school club nights such as Poplife at Grand Central. But soon Nassie's Famous Franks will get their very own storefront. "Yeah, I'm gonna open a spot," Nastie croaks. "This is just work experience like they used to have in junior high. Hot dog work experience."
Each season yields a fresh crop of new restaurants. Sometimes they are highly anticipated due to a big-name chef. Other times they are preceded by a sizzling sister eatery in New York or L.A. Or maybe they boast a distinctive dining concept. Sugarcane brought none of those attributes to the table yet took this town by storm in a way few dining establishments have. The draw here is a grand, breezy, and urban-chic décor; an electrically charged bar scene pouring distinctive cocktails to a comely clientele; and a diverse menu of fresh, tasty New American cuisine at unexpectedly affordable prices (just about everything is $12 or less). The fare, orchestrated by chef Timon Baloo, is triumvirated into raw bar selections (oysters, crudos, sushi); foods cooked in a robata grill (chicken yakitori, squid, Japanese eggplant); and globally influenced small plates such as pork buns, lobster rolls, crisp sweetbreads, and goat cheese croquettes with membrillo marmalade. We didn't see Sugarcane coming, but we're sure glad it arrived.
Chef Michael Psilakis has put together the lightest, brightest, most brilliant hotel menu in town. Chef de cuisine Jason Hall executes the cooking impeccably: Lobster-and-sea-urchin risotto brings a bowl of yogurt, caviar, fried herbs, and a barely poached egg, and then the lobster and risotto get mixed in. Smoked octopus is shockingly good with diced pineapple, sopressata sticks, and paper-thin ringlets of fennel. Greek "paella" is jammed with clams, mussels, Merguez sausage, and jumbo head-on prawns in a saffron-spiced sauce spiked with Espelette pepper. Restaurateur Donatella Arpaia has trained the waitstaff to be one of Miami's finest, the room is gorgeous, and the outdoor terrace of the 15th-floor restaurant affords breathtaking views. Yet Eos charges noticeably less for its superior dining experience than every other top-tier hotel in town: Most plates, including that paella, run $10 to $16, and a dessert of two tropical fruit cannoli shells made from dried pineapple and filled with papaya, mango, passion fruit foam, and baby basil sprouts on coconut-vanilla tapioca goes for $6. Then comes the complimentary plate of petite sweet treats. Psilakis has already won a James Beard Award, and Eos was a Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant this year. Did we mention $5 valet parking?
All comebacks are impressive by dint of courage to change and the grit to make it work. But not all are alike. Chef Allen revived his long-standing landmark restaurant in brilliant fashion last year via refurbishment and a revamped menu concept. Solea first opened its doors around that time, but the highly anticipated venue in the glittering new W Hotel South Beach was greeted with sparse business and sluggish reviews. The jump-start occurred with the hiring from Por Fin of Marc Vidal, who had been named one of the top young chefs of Spain in 2005. Vidal installed a menu of small bites ($6 to $16) such as Iberico ham and fried egg over crisp potatoes, chanterelle mushrooms, and truffle oil; rice dishes and paellas served in cast-iron pans ($24 to $28); Mediterranean seafoods ($24 to $34) such as branzino with lentils, smoked sweet paprika vinaigrette, and potato purée; and meat dishes ($21 to $34) found nowhere else — like braised veal cheeks with porcini-Idiazabal cheese toast. Critics have loved the changes, and the swank indoor/outdoor space is buzzing. Solea was a James Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant this year. That's what you call a comeback.
It's easy to imagine you're lounging on the French Riviera as this two-level beach-club-cum-restaurant pulsates with pretty Europeans and presents peerless panoramas of the ocean (Atlantic, not Med) — as well as of the glimmering pool scene right by Côte's open-air tables. A DJ spins world music, bartenders blend tropical fruit cocktails, palm trees sway in the balmy breeze, and good-looking waiters carry plates of pristine cuisine imbued with the ingredients and flavors of the Mediterranean. The last translates to salad Niçoise (natch) with seared tuna, purple potatoes, and pert sherry vinaigrette; custardy tomato-and-Brie quiche; raw bar selections; jumbo prawns and branzino fish fresh off a sizzling grill; homemade pastas; and a Kumomoto oyster bloody mary shooter topped with celery foam. Prices are nicer than at Nice, with most plates ranging from $15 to $30. Yet while it is easy to imagine you're on the Riviera, there really is no need to — dining at La Côte, right here on beautiful and sexy Miami Beach, is as good as it gets.
Dear Cheapskate:These are just a few reasons I am leaving you for good:1. A cubic zirconia engagement ring.2. That used copy of the Sticky Fingers LP, without the zipper, that you gave my parents as a gift for their 50th anniversary.3. Your insistence on taking buses to restaurants in order to save on parking fees. Except when we go to Morgans and you get to park free in the spacious lot outside. Come to think of it, taking me to Morgans is the only smart thing you ever did. I remember seeing your eyes light up as you scanned the menu prices. "We can have panko-crusted tofu ($9), grilled rib lamb chops ($22), and coconut cake for dessert ($6)!" you exclaimed with glee. I was excited too, not realizing you meant we would share those three dishes. I can't wait to go out with somebody who will buy me my own meal. Chef Cory Smith's food is always so fresh and homespun, and the wines, as you pointed out more than once, aren't marked up nearly as high as at most other places. In fact, it was the only restaurant where you ever purchased a bottle. God, I used to die inside every time you would ask a sommelier at some fancy establishment for a taste of a certain wine, and then a taste of another, and another, and then refuse to purchase any on the grounds "it wasn't good to mix too many grapes." Morgans' workers are so nice, and the 1930s home atmosphere and wraparound porch are so, well, comforting and even — dare I say — romantic, or at least they will be when I'm finally sitting there with somebody, anybody, but you.

Left burner on my Hyfire II went out. Won't relight. The blower motor on that side is working, but doesn't seem like air is coming through the grate. Cleaned grate after last season, all holes open. No problems last season. Usually light with coal mice, but out of them. Have used hot coal from other side in the past, but not working this time. Is there any way to check/clean grate while the othe side is working? Pretty hot in there! I don't want to shut down if I don't have to.
Thanks for any tips on troubleshooting or getting that left side back up and going.

What we teach at fault
As I was watching the final capture of Boston-bombings "Suspect No. 2," the TV showed a picture of the 19-year-old boy. I could imagine his predicament: tired, scared, thirsty and hungry; so young, and surrounded by others who were necessarily willing to kill him. Why, allegedly, did he do what he did to get to that point?
The answer is that he was taught. So, I have to ask: What are we teaching our children?
Our legislators are teaching them that it is OK to borrow money with no intention of repayment. There's a word for that.
Entertainers teach them that violence and crime are sources of amusement. Our government says it is legally OK to terminate a human life in its mother's womb.
And our schools? I don't know what they are teaching. But I do know they are not teaching our children about God or religion. In effect, the wisdom of the ages has been banned from our schools.
Parents and churches seem to be the last refuges of truth and moral training. But how many children grow up with two parents these days?
Despite all of this, the truth is a stubborn thing. I guess that's why I am still an optimist.
The first step in solving a problem is knowing you have one. If we are going to teach our children properly, we need to start today by praying for the wisdom we are lacking, and by doing what each of us can to stand up for the truth. The cost of failing is just too high.

how can i defend myself for Consensual Sex. she filed charge as a rape & i need help to defend myself.
You need to speak to an experienced reputable criminal defense attorney in the county where you are being prosecuted. If you cannot afford an attorney, you need to request a public defender when you get to court. Only an experienced criminal defense lawyer can review the facts of your case and help you prepare a defense.Ask a similar question
You first need to hire an attorney and have him/her consult with the prosecution as soon as possible. Catching the case before it is filed by the state attorney's office is the first and foremost way to defend yourself against any type of accusation. Also, investigate her prior history, any prior accusations by her of battery, rape, etc.etc. in the court file, she if there is a history of accusations there. Also look for reasons she would be biased towards you, owing money, prior girlfriend of yours, has it out for you for some reason, etc.etc. That's how I would start, but start now.Ask a similar question

Teen Charged in Death of MSU Student Offers Pleas Monday
A teen has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and unarmed robbery in the robbery and death of a Michigan State University student.
Samantha Grigg told the court on Monday that she drove Dustyn Frolka to ATMs before two others beat and robbed him. She says Frolka jumped from a moving SUV to escape.Frolka was found unconscious Feb. 15 on Interstate 69 in Clinton County's Bath Township, near Lansing. The sophomore was from Owosso.
Grigg was originally charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery along with two other teens from Saline. Grigg's lawyer, Ron Zawacki, earlier said a plea deal was expected. She agreed to testify and faces less than 15 years in prison when sentenced May 27.
First-degree murder is punishable by life in prison with no chance of parole.

A Brief History of Game Consoles, as Seen in Old TV Ads
1982: Milton Bradley Vectrex, Coleco ColecoVision, Atari 5200
In 1982, a number of companies took a shot at the game console sweepstakes. Among the contestents were board-game heavyweight Milton Bradley, leather supplier and Cabbage Patch Kids mass-producer Coleco, and Atari, back for another round and ready to up the ante.
Milton Bradley Vectrex
The unique, portable Vectrex came with a built-in 9-inch vector monitor. Instead of relying on the sprite/raster-based methods that other consoles used, it incorporated wireframe-like vector graphics. Though this idea provided sharp lines, the Vectrex depended on plastic screen overlays to add color to games
Coleco ColecoVision
At its launch, the $175 ColecoVision qualified as the most technologically advanced console ever. Games like Defender, Frogger, and Zaxxon came closer to "arcade-quality" than did competing titles for the Atari VCS or Intellivision. And many units came bundled with a near-arcade-quality port of Nintendo's Donkey Kong.
Coleco offered several hardware expansion modules that delivered extras such as Atari VCS cartridge support, driving controls (including a steering wheel), and a trackball-like roller controller. Another expansion module transformed the ColecoVision into a PC. Though the ColecoVision was a market success, Coleco chose to focus on its ill-fated Adam PC instead, and stopped production of the ColecoVision in 1984.
Atari 5200
Essentially an Atari 400 computer without a keyboard, the 5200 Super System succeeded the Atari 2600 console. Among its innovations were a pause button, automatic switching between TV viewing and game play, and a new controller that combined an analog joystick with a numeric keyboard and two fire buttons. Unfortunately, the joystick proved unreliable, and gamers were unhappy that their older Atari 2600 cartridges were incompatible with the new console (a separate adapter was released the next year).

Site created 12/15/97.
review added: 2/24/99
Doc Hollywood
1991 (1998) - Warner Bros.
review by Todd Doogan, special to
The Digital Bits
Film Rating: B+
Oh, that Michael J. Fox is so cute. And he's in a movie where there is a slow-motion, fully-nude shot of Julie Warner coming out of a lake. Who'd of thunk it? Plus, Woody Harrelson and Bridget Fonda steal this movie four or five times. A good time movie.
Disc Ratings (Video/Audio/Extras): B-/C-/F
The image would have looked so much better in widescreen. On this DVD it's very tight and grainy. Not too much to be said about the sound. It's fine for what it is. Everyone, say it with me -- What? No extras?
Overall Rating: C
, I'm shocked that Warner went bargain basement with this title. The film looks like it was shot to preserve a widescreen perspective, and on DVD it looks short changed.
Specs and Features
104 mins, PG-13, full frame (1.33:1), single-sided, single-layered, Snapper case, scene access (12 chapters), language: English (DD 2.0), subtitles: English, Close Captioned
Bottom line
It's better on DVD than it is on TV or VHS. The sound is typical, but I would have loved to see this flick in glorious widescreen. As it stands, it's way too compact -- and the video quality suffers for it.

Best Of :: People & Places
Misery loves car-poolers. So why suffer rush-hour gridlock alone when you can share the ride with DJ Steve Tingle, whose stock company of phone-prank characters (formerly heard over KEDJ) takes a back seat to no one?
Mel Blanc reincarnated, the vocally versatile Tingle regularly tickles prisoners of morning drive-time listeners as he single-throatedly creates the biggest assortment of wackos this side of a Farrelly Brothers flick. There's honky-hatin' ho "Clarissa Jenkins," the flatulent flatbacker who once flummoxed a locksmith with a cell phone call after she claimed to have accidentally locked herself in the trunk of her car -- in the middle of a serious attack of gas. Then there's the ever swishy "Ramon Jaworksy," whose lisping pleas for a pair of hunky bunkmates didn't cut much ice with the receptionist at a local military recruiting office. And who can resist horny yenta "Blanche Horowitz," who inevitably elicits puzzled gasps from victims as she provides obscene translations for old Yiddish phrases?
But if you're laughing so hard that you find yourself in a minor fender-bender (as has been rumored to happen), don't call us. Call Clarissa Jenkins, you uncircumcised monkey!
Readers' Choice: Dave Pratt
Arizona State University's campus is the most righteous place to blade, but the cops chase hard-core bladers away because they chip a little cement off benches and tables on daredevil slides and jumps. If you're tired of the hassle, the place to go for unlimited blade action is the Wedge.
With quarterpipes, lots of grinding rails, some bowls and a whole mother lode of other sweet stuff designed especially for bladers, the Wedge offers plenty of opportunity to bust out with some kick-ass blading moves. The vibe is less intense than the Valley's two other more skateboard-oriented parks in Phoenix and Chandler, and less intimidating for the preteen set just honing their plates. A few pro skaters practice at the Wedge, adding a layer of luster and inspiration. The park is open every day from dawn to 10 p.m., and it's free.
How would this go over at your household? "Mommy and Daddy are going to go out for a drink. You kids fend for yourselves." Now try this. "Let's go to Gameworks."
With all the latest and greatest in electronic gaming as well as a full bar and restaurant upstairs, Gameworks has everything you need to satisfy the "inner" and "outer" child. Look for the daily specials -- $20 for one hour of unlimited play, or $20 purchases $27.50 worth of eyeball-sucking fun. Feed the beast, unhook the leashes and the kids are off. The upper sanctum is sufficiently insulated from the mayhem a floor below to allow for a relaxing brew and, gasp, conversation! And don't worry about finding the kids. When their card runs out, they'll find you.
Readers' Choice for Best Kids' Fun at a Price: Castles-n-Coasters
Happy Meals do not grow on trees.
Still, that horticultural fact of life comes as news to many of the young city slickers who visit this West Valley agro-attraction.
"Many of these kids don't have a clue," reports Kathleen Duncan, who, with her husband, Arnott, operates the working farm that includes an organically certified pick-it-yourself veggie patch and petting zoo. Prior to visiting her farm, says Duncan, some young'uns don't know the difference between a cow and a pig, assume that produce grows in the grocery store and have yet to make the connection between barnyard fowl running around the property and the fried poultry nuggets they gobble down at McDonald's.
Fun and educational, the farm also features tractor rides, a seasonal cornfield maze, a farm machinery museum and picnic facilities for birthday parties and other group events. Head west on I-10 toward Goodyear and look to your right for the billboard of a giant baby terrorizing some miniature farm folk, one of several fanciful pop-art pieces that dot the Duncans' acreage.
If you like the idea of art, but aren't exactly sure which end to tell your kid is up in a museum or gallery, this program is the one for you. Its six weekly courses in art history -- held this year from September 20 to October 25 -- deliver the fundamentals of major art movements and works. The teachers are the museum's curators, so they're fluent in the subject. They deliver the lessons without peering down their noses. And the aim is pure: to train volunteers to take art into school classrooms. The program excels at teaching people how to look, and how to encourage children to do the same. We know of some schools where Art Masterpiece volunteers provide the only real art education of the school year.
Who knows why windmills and garishly painted plywood castles became the standard props for miniature-golf courses? But this is one Lilliputian links that bucks that trend with an Old West theme that has your balls rolling toward holes named Devil's Arch, Fool's Gold and Gravedigger's Gulch.
Here the greens are billiard-smooth and truly green -- none of that rumpled multicolored indoor/outdoor carpeting you find elsewhere. Instead of being made of cheap plastic, the putters are genuine metal. And the contours and unsloped lips around the holes make the two 18-hole courses challenging enough to make you want to keep score.
Even better, the approach to the courses doesn't lead through a dungeon of pulsating video games. Instead, it takes you past a driving range, where your children can see firsthand the horror that shanked and sliced balls bring to the faces of local duffers.

South Versailles names building inspector
Carol Haines read the treasurer's report for the last time at Thursday's meeting of the South Versailles Township board of commissioners.
She promised she'd continue attending meetings, but watch from the back of the Coulter Fire Hall meeting room. Haines has served the community for 24 years.
"Thanks for all your years of service, Carol," read the inscription on a cake served following the meeting.
Among the figures detailed in her final report, Haines said the township paid White Oak $1,043.50 for snow removal work over the past two months.
Steve Pichura of Building Inspection Underwriters, which runs the municipal code enforcement program for Twin Rivers Council of Governments, will serve as the township's building inspector.
Pichura's duties will include utilization of Uniform Construction Code standards in the township.
South Versailles and other Twin Rivers council members have been invited to participate in a Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission education outreach seminar scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. in White Oak. Friday is the deadline for municipalities to register.

Log scanning to determine internal characteristics to maximize lumber value has been a long-term goal of the sawmilling industry. Juvenile wood is wood formed in southern pine trees during the first 10 years of growth. Juvenile wood is characterized by wood with high moisture content and that undergoes a high degree of longitudinal shrinkage during kiln drying. This shrinkage results in large amounts of warp that produce lumber degrade and very high value loss. Detection of juvenile wood prior to sawing logs will allow application of sawing patterns and drying procedures that result in reduced influence on the final lumber value. Our research tested EIT scanning with brush electrodes to determine the potential for detecting juvenile wood in green southern pine logs. EIT and computed tomography (CT) images were compared to determine that juvenile wood could be detected with acceptable.
