FEARS that a failing Widnes school could close have been dispelled by education chiefs.
A scathing Ofsted inspection slammed West Bank Primary School branding its leadership and management, quality of teaching, achievement, behaviour and safety of pupils as 'inadequate'.
The school has been placed in special measures and experts drafted in by the Department of Education to restore standards.
Ofsted inspector Rebecca Lawton said: "Pupils make insufficient progress and do not reach high enough standards by the time they leave the school, particularly in writing. Results have dropped significantly below the national standard.
"Senior leaders are not ensuring that action plans and performance targets are focused on."
Speaking exclusively to The World, Dr Harry Ziman, chairman of the newly-appointed Interim Executive Board (IEB) said: "The school is not closing.
"Our job is to strengthen leadership and respond to issues Ofsted has raised.
"We have a clear mandate to bring about change.
"The school has already improved but it is a long term thing. It won't happen overnight."
Pam Wright OBE, executive principal of Wade Deacon High School, and Steve Nyakatawa, head of school improvement at Halton Council, are working with experienced head teacher Paula Moreton, who turned a failing school around, and education consultant Margaret Cassin on the IEB.
Dr Ziman said: "This is the fourth school in special measures that I have helped. We have tried and tested strategies for school improvements.
"Staff are working really hard to improve the school. It is a team effort.
"Staff need the co-operation and support of parents.
"We are aware of the very strong local identity in this community. I have met with parents and we will tell them what is going on as and when we can."
He said head teacher Martin Quinn is currently off sick but is still in post.

Miley Cyrus Shows Her Support for Pre-Teen Fashionista Cecilia Cassini
Miley Cyrus may be moving in a mature new direction where her own career is concerned, but that doesn't mean she's not willing to be supportive of the young up-and-comers anymore.
The 17-year-old Hannah Montana sensation showed up at the trunk show of 10-year-old fashion designer Cecilia Cassini at the Fred Segal store in Santa Monica on Saturday, lending some star power to the prodigy's event.
Maybe Miley can hook Cecilia up with her younger sister Noah? We can only imagine what kind of mind-bending styles the two could come up with.

Colorado professional cyclist Tom Danielson opens Arizona training retreat
October 23, 2013
While most of us are thinking about getting our skis waxed and sharpened, Garmin Sharp team bicyclist Tom Danielson is already focused on next cycling season. With his sights set on capitalizing on his success this year — capturing the yellow jersey in the Tour of Utah and finishing third in Colorado's USA Pro Challenge — he hopes to take that momentum into next year's Tour de France.
This month, the 35-year-old Boulder resident will be headed to Tucson, Ariz., his winter home for off-season training, but this year he's inviting anyone who wants to get a feel for what it's like to be a pro cyclist to join him.
Part bed-and-breakfast, part winter retreat, part training camp, Tommy D's Cycling Escape will be 100 percent cycling experience through and through.
"We've taken this ranch and we're converting it to the ultimate cycling hotel," Danielson said. "It's set up as a place I'd want to stay for training."
The ranch is set to open in October with a number of five-day riding sessions limited to eight guests per session, the same number as a pro team. Guests will have the opportunity to ride with Danielson, but more than that, they will get what might be best described as an all-inclusive cycling experience, complete with meals cooked by Garmin team chef Sean Fowler.
"This program has nothing to do with riding with a pro cyclist." Danielson said. "What people are doing in this camp are things I've learned along the way."

Danielson said the idea is to "give normal people the feel for what it's like to be on a pro team."
Guests will get to ride with Danielson and learn training and conditioning tips relevant to cycling. He said he will host nightly queston-and-answer sessions to talk about riding, his past, the next day's ride, things he's learned and anything else cycling related. The ranch includes a number of amenities and a full workshop of bike gear with number of Cervelo bikes, the same style bikes the Garmin Sharp team uses in competition.
The program is geared toward all ability levels, Danielson said.
"People think, 'This is way over my head, I can't do this,'" he told the Daily. "The goal is to have many different abilities there at the same time. With my team we train with many different skill sets. It's all about the work that each individual has to do."
Danielson described the group rides as a team environment.
"That might mean the best guy has to go a little slower than he'd like to," he said. "You're never going to be a match."
The idea originated in part through charity rides he'd done with friend and "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey.
Danielson said he enjoyed interactions at public functions but found it difficult to have enough time to really interact with people.
"The problem at these charity events is you see 4,000 people. Having an impact on people (in that situation) is really hard," Danielson said. "We thought, 'Wouldn't it be fun if we had time with these people?'"
Initially the idea was for Danielson and Dempsey to do something near Dempsey's house in Malibu.
But with the costs involved in potentially running a program through an existing resort in California, Danielson decided instead to take the reigns himself and run a full-service cycling retreat in Arizona, where he's been training for 11 years.
"That's when I decided to pull the trigger and buy the property," he said. "I want to keep it my deal. It's kind of my baby."
He also said keeping it affordable for anyone interested in cycling was one of his main objectives. The five-day, six-night all-inclusive program costs $2,500.
While Dempsey won't be directly involved, Danielson hasn't ruled out having the occasional celebrity guest, fellow pro or teammate participate.
Though the retreat is part of his retirement plan, the cyclist said he has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
"Definitely not," he said when asked. "I feel like I can go 15 to 16 years as a professional cyclist."
Having started his career late at 24, that leaves another five years that he plans to compete.
For the first year of the retreat, camp sessions start Oct. 21 and run through December, giving Danielson time to really focus his training prior to next cycling season. He said they are already around 70 percent booked but still have openings closer to December.

Another year, another ESPN team rankings list that riles up Brian Burke.
The Toronto Maple Leafs general manager defended his franchise on Monday at the team's annual charity golf tournament, as he responded with outrage to a question about ESPN placing his team 122nd out of 122 professional sports franchises in its Ultimate Team Rankings last week.
A non-playoff team since 2004, the Leafs haven't placed higher than 120th in the rankings since 2007.
"I don't think ESPN knows a single thing about hockey," Burke said. "I think their hockey coverage stinks. I don't think they know anything about Canada. I don't think they know anything about hockey."
According to ESPN, its rankings are based on feedback from fans in eight major categories: bang for the buck, fan relations, ownership, affordability, stadium experience, players, coaching and title track.
The Leafs best ranking was 104th for stadium experience, followed by 111th for coaching and 112th for ownership. They were among the bottom four in every other category.
The other four organizations occupying the bottom five of the list were the Washington Wizards, New York Islanders, Charlotte Bobcats and Sacramento Kings.
Curiously, the top ranked NHL franchise was the formerly bankrupt and currently owner-less Phoenix Coyotes, who scored highly in every category save for ownership (100th) and title track (68th).Report Typo/Error

Getting a call out of the blue from a great thinker of one's age comes as quite a surprise. That's how I felt when Jane Jacobs phoned The Globe one day in early 2005, asking about a small, wonkish point in a feature I had written - census data showing that some Toronto wards with many high rises were also the least dense, and vice-versa.
"That's a real nugget," Ms. Jacobs said, adding that lot sizes and building heights often matter less to density than the land used for driving and parking. "This is important."
The celebrated author on urbanism, economics and philosophy was 88. She had only 15 months more to live. Her final book, Dark Age Ahead, was behind her. But she was still on the alert for "nuggets" to reveal the forces that shape cities - a mission she'd carry on to the end.
Still, she seemed afraid her quest would never be widely understood, in part because news media were increasingly opting for simplistic explanations. (And that was before Twitter.)
Now, five years after her death and 50 years after the 1961 appearance of her once-revolutionary treatise, The Death and Life of American Cities, are her fears being borne out?
While her ideas are cited continually in discussions of urban affairs, their realization is arguably as far off as ever - in part because her followers are finding there are no shortcuts through her complex system of thought.
Walking, looking and talking
One way people honour Ms. Jacobs happens this weekend, when many will follow her model - walking, observing and describing what they see - in guided strolls called Jane's Walks.
"People close to her felt she wouldn't want a monument, or her name on a park," says Jane Farrow, the former CBC broadcaster who runs the program. "The sense was it would be more fitting to get people out walking, connecting with neighbourhoods, discussing her ideas."
The first year, 2007, there were 27 walks, all in Toronto. This year there will be nearly 500 groups of people in 16 countries.
But that's just the start. In September, Random House will release a 50th-anniversary edition of The Death and Life, and this spring sees two new essay collections and her long-time friend Ken Greenberg's Walking Home: The Life and Lessons of a City Builder. Last year at least three major books dealt with her ideas.
Yet Ms. Jacobs herself hated it when reporters called her an "urban guru." Once, when I made a mildly reverential comment about The Death and Life, she bristled, "Oh come on," and then unloaded: "Nice words from politicians, planners and columnists hardly matter when we continually repeat mistakes we made decades ago. It's like we made some progress, then hit a wall.
"Many places still have zoning laws on the books ensuring we repeat the mistakes. The bureaucratic machinery enforces bad planning and design, and nobody thinks to question a property-tax system that encourages sprawl and all its hidden costs."
She had no time for ideology - left, right or whatever - and felt that many who invoke her name "cherry-pick ideas to suit their purposes."
That urban planners had eventually come to accept the benefits of density was no conso- lation: "In the absence of a pedestrian scale, density can be big trouble." Few people, she felt, saw what she really meant.
"Maybe you kinda blew it," I said, half in jest: "You buried a crucial part of your thesis on page 150. Lots of people in power who need to read the book probably don't reach page 150."
She laughed, triggering a scary sounding coughing fit that made me consider hanging up and calling 911.
When it passed, her first words were: "I know what you're getting at, but I wouldn't have written it any other way."
Perhaps. But expecting such patience may be at odds with an era of ever-shortening attention spans.
The Galileo of mixed use?
Vancouver planning chief Brent Toderian, author James Howard Kunstler and former Toronto mayor John Sewell all sympathize with Ms. Jacobs's frustrations, but they seem more optimistic about her likely legacy.
"There isn't a person or book more influential in creating 'Vancouverism' than Jane and The Death and Life," says Mr. Toderian. "I know what she means about people misunderstanding density - that's why we emphasize density done well rather than density as a mathematical exercise. [But]people 'round the world praise Vancouver's livability, and she had a big hand in it."
Mr. Kunstler, known for the 1993 bestseller The Geography of Nowhere, says we still develop badly because politics inhibit "changing the predictable rules of a very profitable game." But he expects Ms. Jacobs's effect to increase as urban crises erupt in coming decades: "She might not be fully appreciated until 2061, but nobody threw a cocktail party for Galileo in his time."Report Typo/Error

Aid groups have called on the government to do more to help hungry people in South Sudan as global humanitarian agencies grapple with an unprecedented number of major emergencies.
The worsening food crisis in South Sudan is competing for global attention with complex emergencies in Iraq, Syria and Gaza, as well as the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa.
The government has provided $13.4 million in humanitarian funding to South Sudan since the crisis erupted last December. But an Oxfam "fair share analysis" for the South Sudan emergency - which calculates the fair share contributions of high-income donor countries to UN appeals based on relative national income – found the Australian government's fair share would be around $26 million in 2014.
"Australia should urgently provide additional humanitarian funds to this crisis," Oxfam's chief executive, Helen Szoke, said.
World Vision chief Tim Costellosaid there was a "moral demand" on Australia to be more generous towards South Sudan notwithstanding the challenges in other parts of the world.
"This is one of the greatest humanitarian tragedies," he said.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said on Thursday that the government was providing "life-saving" assistance in South Sudan such as food, healthcare, water, and emergency shelter. But she would not say whether the government would increase its commitment.
"The level and nature of support is dependent on how it can be best targeted for maximum effect within the overall international response," she said.
The United Nations has warned 50,000 children could die this year unless the aid effort in South Sudan is increased.
On Tuesday the US government announced an extra US$180 million ($193 million) in food aid to South Sudan lifting its commitment since December to $456 million. US National Security Advisor Susan Rice said the people of South Sudan now faced "the worst food security situation in the world".
Earlier this week US Agency for International Development chief Rajiv Shah said this was a time of "unparalleled need" and that the agency was managing four large-scale humanitarian responses at once – South Sudan, Iraq, Syria and the Ebola outbreak – for the first time in its history.
Paul Ronalds, the chief executive of Save the Children Australia, called on the Australian government to double its emergency assistance to South Sudan.
"South Sudan is now on the brink of famine and the Australian government and community must dig deep to help stop this crisis from becoming a catastrophe," he said.
Mr Costello said World Vision was able to raise about $60 million for victims of last year's Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines but has barely raised $1 million so far for relief work in South Sudan.

When I was growing up, I was essentially raised by two dads.
No, not in that way. Things weren't as progressive back then as they are now. I'm talking about my dad and my step dad. Two separate dads, two separate households, two separate forms of brain washing. Each of them had their own unique brand of "teaching" their young daughter, me, the ways of life.
Between my dad with the "I'll always KNOW if you've done anything wrong." and my step dad drilling into my head "girls don't fart, girls don't burp and girls never stink up the bathroom." I was a confused mess! Holy CRAP, no pun intended... OK - let's leave the pun there because it's just silly.
I had all these rules and unrealistic fears put into my head that I didn't know what to do with.
Fast forward 20 years....
Enter single mom, Jenn. I've stated numerous times - I did not date a lot. I had a few boyfriends - all long term and then a few "mini relationships" in between. This was a direct result of my dads' tag team warning "they only want to get into your pants".
I did not have a positive marriage or divorce. I was freaked out by it all and was
Then I met my hubby.
I didn't really like to let anyone around my son. He was my child. I didn't want him getting attached to anyone and I didn't want him to get the wrong idea, so I always had my dad (step) run interference whenever I went out. He kept people at the door while I did my thing. Sort of like when I was a teenager.
And then.... there was my husband, who somehow managed to get past the old man - with a gift for my son.
As he began to come around more often, "Poppie" began to just let him in. Sometimes he'd come around while my boy was there & they'd watch a video or something until I was ready to go. Eventually he'd just come over while my son was home. We'd all hang out and watch a movie or something. It became - comfortable.
Back to the fart fairy....
My household consisted of me & my young male child. The notion of being a prudish, prim & proper mommy was out the window. I was the mommy to a very rambunctious little boy. We were buddies and there were farts.
The new game became "hold it until you explode."
Well hubby was over on a night that I'd made a dinner with lots of garlic. Not only was my breath kickin' but I could feel that familiar rumble in my tummy. Oh no, here it comes....
The words "Girls do NOT fart." continually echoed through my brain. I began to panic. How the hell do I hide this one? He & my son were letting 'er rip and having a grand old time with it while I was dying from the gaseous build up.
We sat there, watching the movie & I'd excuse myself to the lower level of my home for some relief all the while thinking...Where the hell is the damn dog?
If you have, had or have ever been around a little dog - those little creatures can clear a room with one of their little air bombs. Thank you, oh little dog....for so many farts were blamed on you.
But not this one....
This time I couldn't escape. I couldn't make a break for it and run to my bedroom fortress. It escaped without warning. The fart from hell. A fart that could clear not only the room, but potentially a small town. It hung in the air like a deadly mist. There was no where to run, no where to hide. It was awful.
Holy CRAP. Where the hell is the dog?? No dog... Who to blame, who to blame???
And then here it comes....
"MOMMMMM, That's a GROSS one!"
My jaw dropped to the floor. Horrified. What to say, what to do?? Quick... think! Diffuse the situation...
Me: No no, it wasn't me. I don't have farts. I have a fart fairy. She comes to take my farts away every night while I sleep.
My son: Mom, you DO NOT have a fart fairy. You fart ALL THE TIME.
I'm clearly freaked now. Hubby, who I've only just officially started dating, is now thoroughly amused and taking in my horror and denial. My son continues his adamant assault on me and the fart from hell.
Me: What do you mean I fart all the time? I don't fart all the time.
My son: Well you fart.
Me: No, sweetie.... I have a fart fairy. Some times she just misses a night.
My son: She misses A L O T !
On that, my husband broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
All the brain washing of "Girls Do NOT Fart" didn't matter. There was no more denying it. I do not have a fart fairy. She never comes to take my farts away while I sleep and the dumb dog is clearly absent and blameless.
Damn dog!
Damn Fart Fairy!
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em I suppose.
Thank you to those who hung around for this silliness....
Have a fantastic and gas free day!
PS. Just in case you're wondering - this incident did not open the door for a free for all fart fest.... I still live by the hold it until you explode brain washing... :)

Wow, check out that title. Alliteration is fun! Anyways, this post isn't exactly breaking new ground in my still very new blog. I mean, we're 3 posts in, and 2 of them are about video game stories? What gives, TND? Why are you so unoriginal?! Well, to be perfectly honest, I had a couple of cool ideas (in my mind, at least) lined up for the next couple of blog posts, but then I read this. Stories in video games "stunt their growth", according to Twisted Metal's David Jaffe. To make a totally lame Family Guy reference, that really grinds my gears.
You may recall that, a few days ago, I posted this blog about whether or not video games can tell better stories than movies. I won't rehash the points I made there (mainly because you can go read and comment on it yourself ), but I do want to point out that this post is meant as a sort of supplement to that post, since we're dealing with similar topics. Although you and I may have differing opinions on which medium tells the better or more engaging story, I think most of us will agree that stories in video games, more often than not, at least contribute to the experience. If you read the blog post I linked to above, you'll see that I am very "pro-game stories". However, I'm not going to try and force my opinion down your throat or blast David Jaffe (too much...). I'll give it my best shot to explain what's right about Jaffe's comments and (mostly) what I feel is wrong with them.
Wow, that was a long intro. On to the meat of the post! Here is the direct quote from Jaffe about games "trying too hard" to be movies:
"We were seduced by the power of the language of film and the trappings. We were creating things that looked like movies do. We believed we needed to create things that were like movies, and so people started asking questions like 'where is Gaming's Citizen Kane'? I say that's f---ing bulls--t."
I'll partially agree with Jaffe on this. A lot of times, games do indeed try to entertain audiences in a way that is far too similar to their brethren on the silver screen. As much as I love Uncharted, it's still no Indiana Jones. (Actually, I think Uncharted does a fairly good job with story telling, but it's the best analogy I could think of.) However, when given the choice, I would most of the time rather have a big, expanding story to drive the action rather than none at all.
By reading between the lines, it seems to me that Jaffe is saying that any story in a game weighs it down. I definitely disagree with this. A story can help drive a player along, even if it's not up to "epic" standards. Had Jaffe just said that not all games need stories, I wouldn't be writing this blog. This is how I feel. A game like Jaffe's own Twisted Metal or sports games, mindless arcade shooters and the like, don't need stories. These games should make their mark through fun, addictive gameplay. Trying to put in some narrative about about how your baseball player has come from small beginnings to face his dream in "The Show" is totally unnecessary.
Some fantastic games could certainly function without stories, no matter how big or small. Do we absolutely HAVE to know that Bowser took Peach into space and that you need to collect power stars for your starship to find her for Super Mario Galaxy to be an amazingly fun game? No. The game stands up on it's own thanks to it's great level design and fantastic gameplay (and don't get me STARTED on the musical score...). But does it at least give a motive for Mario's actions to drive a less compelled player along? Absolutely. I would rather have brief little cut-scenes or narratives to tell me WHY I'm doing something than just dropping me off and saying "have at it".
If Jaffe had his way, every game, no matter how expansive or linear, would put you in the middle of the games world and let you loose. In my above example (Super Mario Galaxy), while at first it might be a little strange, the "story-hands-off" approach could certainly work. However, in a game with an extensive world branching system of gameplay, like upcoming US-release Xenoblade Chronicles, most players would be lost without a narrative guiding them along their way. You might think the story is "lame" or whatever, but you have to admit that it propels you towards your next goal better than a only a big, blinking light that says "HERE!" floating in the sky. [Note: Anyone who thinks Xenoblade's story is lame compared to some of the other Wii games (or games in general) should really reconsider. I'm really excited that myself and all other gamers in the States will finally have the opportunity to experience what everyone says is one of this generation's best.]
An interesting quote from the article is about the only game stories that Jaffe finds valuable:
"I'm not talking about player authored stories where the game mechanics are so engaging that the player creates a narrative in his mind and sometimes shares that. Those stories are wonderful, and they are the heartbeat of what we do."
I'm fine with this. A great example of Jaffe's idea is the original Metroid for the NES. With no text present in the game except for item pick-ups and the epilogue, players had to create their own story for Samus. Personally, I like to have the story told to me, but I can certainly see the value in a player's own mind creating the narrative. Maybe it's because I choose to put my creativity in my music and writing, but I don't want to think TOO MUCH when playing a game about why certain characters might be doing certain things. I love discussing games and their stories with fellow fans; if each person had their own theory on what's going on in a certain game, as cool as that would be, all of those great discussions would be altered. Look at the recent reveal of the Zelda series' timeline. Without the official timeline, each fan would have their own opinion about which game came first chronologically (if they believe they are even intertwined at all). You can see how quickly discussions would become convoluted and confusing.
While I can definitely see where Jaffe is coming from, to say that story has no place in games at all is just not true. Some of the happiest moments I've experienced have come at the hands of exploring the worlds and following the stories of games. In a perfect world, those games that have no story and only gameplay, and those with both great gameplay and story live together in perfect harmony. However, I'll take a Zelda, Resident Evil, or any other game with some kind of a story over a Twisted Metal more often than not. But what about you guys? Do you prefer games with mindless exploration, or a narrative-driven adventure (to whatever extent, small or large)? Sound off in the comments below.
Also, I realize that I'm kinda going all over the place, but I did have to kinda rush this post up. Sorta throwin' blog at the wall, and hoping something sticks. I've got a busy weekend ahead and wanted to get my thoughts down before they're forcibly taken from me from the stress of the work I have ahead. Hopefully you guys get my main points, you're a smart bunch.

Calm crept back into markets this week as the turbulence of the preceding fortnight, which had been fuelled by geopolitical uncertainty, eased.
The pointers to confidence all moved in the right direction. Safe-haven assets such as gold and bonds have come off their highs of last week.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, or Vix, had by Friday sunk below 13 points after creeping above 17 several times as troubles in eastern Europe and the Middle East rattled investors.
Large Australian corporates did their bit too. A stream of earnings results largely in line with expectations helped the sharemarket recover some lost ground.
On Friday morning, the S&P/ASX200 was trading at 5572 points, up 2.5 per cent on last Friday's close, but was still 1 per cent below a pre-jitters high of 5637 points.
Weighing on the rally were already high stock values, some instances of poorly managed earnings expectations and a few disappointments.
On the upside, Domino's delivered strong results and a solid 20 per cent earnings outlook for the current financial year and, along with Crown and Telstra, provided good ballast for the market.
JB Hi-Fi, Wotif and Woolworths' all missed their targets and gave disappointing outlooks.
A record result from Commonwealth Bank failed to over-excite investors, with the shares slipping slightly on the day of chief executive Ian Narev's upbeat presentation.
Analysts ascribed this to the already full valuation of Australia's biggest bank, and the world's most expensive by some measures.
Investor demand for scarce yield in a world of near-zero interest rates has been driving up share prices around the world. In the Australian market heavyweights such as the big banks have been popular. Companies played to this with talk about capital management, buybacks and the like.
"Our downside scenario reflects our view that the market has moved away from fundamental valuation, and is valuing the banks on relative metrics, particularly yield relative to cash alternatives," UBS banking analyst Jonathan Mott said in note.
Fidelity Australian Opportunities Fund portfolio manager Kate Howitt said Australia's ageing population meant companies such as CBA and Telstra had become market darlings for a growing group of people easing into retirement or semi-retirement. She described the shares as "bond proxies".
"The issue with Telstra and CBA is they have really strong cash generation. And while there will be oscillations around fair value, in markets where people are investing primarily for income, this cash generation is what is most valued," she said.
Others argued that after last year's bull run, investors were pausing to reflect on share valuations and becomingmore sceptical about earnings growth in the months ahead.
Delivering this growth, they argue, will depend increasingly on sales improvement and further cost-cutting and capital management.
Telstra's announcement of a $1 billion share buyback on Thursday, which helped reanimate the sharemarket after a midweek lull, typified another emerging trend that reflects today's low interest rate environment.
By using cash and cheap credit to take stock off the market, companies can manage their balance sheets while investors can cash in at a premium or hold securities that are instantly repriced on relative scarcity.
Cash splashes like these should eventually feed into the real economy.
Equity returns and increasing portfolio values should add to rising house prices to inflate people's sense of wealth, which should translate into busier cash registers.
However, there is mounting evidence that this transferral of investment wealth into spending on consumer goods, travel and services has been slower than normal.
The reasons for this are manifold, say economists, but real wage contraction and broader unease about job security play a leading role.
Because while efficiency gains have helped companies deliver the yield demanded by investors, they have come at the cost of jobs and real wage freezes, which has undermined consumer confidence.
Real wages growth has been negative for three consecutive quarters, and this trend is unlikely to shift until unemployment starts to fall from its surprisingly high 6.4 per cent level.
So, while a recent flurry of surveys points to improving business confidence and conditions, job insecurity and broader concerns about the global economy and geopolitical events are curbing Australian consumers' enthusiasm.
Commenting on divergent sets of data on business and consumer sentiment during the week, Royal Bank of Canada noted: "The two series usually converge, albeit with a lag, and we may be seeing some signs of this following the fallout from the 2014-15 [federal] budget.
"However, we remain cautious on the consumer front. We see limited scope for further substantial gains in consumer confidence."
This caution, and increasing bets that the Reserve Bank of Australia will keep the cash rate at 2.5 per cent at least until June – or even cut rates this year – could gradually put downward pressure on the Australian dollar, which will help non-mining exporters and other parts of the economy pick up the slack left by the end of the mining investment boom.
Dollar watchers keenly await Tuesday's release by the Reserve Bank of the minutes of the last board meeting, when it voted for the 11th successive month to keep the cash rate at 2.5 per cent. On Wednesday, Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens appears before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics in Brisbane.
"The fundamentals for the domestic economy remain sound," CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian said.
"However, the patchiness of the domestic economy has resulted in businesses curtailing costs."
Much of the world is watching US economic data for hints of when the US Federal Reserve will start lifting interest rates.
Excitement over an early move on rates after the Fed ends its so-called quantitative easing program in October was one trigger of the last bout of global unease, along with Russia's retaliatory economic sanctions against the West.
However, some economists say the markets remain vulnerable to another global shock.
"The last couple of weeks have really bought risks back to the markets' attention, and it is likely going forward that this brings an end to the period of sub-normal volatility," BT Investment Management head of interest and fixed income Vimal Gor said.
"The geopolitical risks haven't gone away, though, and could easily come back to hit markets again soon."

Cosmopolitan (4 oz.)
1 / 11
*Calories: 200* If the women on "Sex and the City" drink these and still look slim and sexy, you can too, right? Sure you can, but just don't go overboard. This girlie, classy cocktail is fine in moderation. Plus, you'll look good drinking it!
Margarita on the Rocks (8 oz.)
2 / 11
*Calories: 280* A margarita packs almost 300 calories per cup. I don't know about you, but when I get a margarita, I prefer them in one of those absurdly large fishbowl-shaped glasses, sure to be at least four servings. Mix that with a heaping plate of cheesy enchiladas, and you've used up your daily calories in one tasty but fattening meal.
Martini (2.5 oz.)
3 / 11
*Calories: 160* This classic mix of vodka and vermouth is sure to give anyone an instant hint of sophistication. Not to mention the lack of mixers and relatively small serving size, both of which make this a diet-friendly cocktail.
Long Island Iced Tea (8 oz.)
4 / 11
stevendepolo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevendepolo
*Calories: 780* This triple threat, complete with tequila, rum, and gin, plus a concoction of mixers, has more calories than your average meal. If you opt for a Long Island, at least hit the dance floor to burn off some of those calories!
Mojito (8 oz.)
5 / 11
*Calories: 200* Swirling with rum and mint sprigs and sweetened with a touch of sugar, this drink is mouth-wateringly fresh and won't break your calorie bank if you only have a couple.
Beer (12 oz.)
6 / 11
katielips: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katielips
*Calories: 64-230* Ah, nothing like grabbing an ice-cold brewski with your friends. Be careful though; not all beers are created equal when it comes to calories. The spectrum ranges from ultra-light beers, which can be as little as 64 calories, to stouts, which could ring in at around 330 calories. If you're watching your waistline, go for the lighter beers. If you're going for taste, get a couple of the high-calorie good ones, but don't go too crazy.
Rum and Coke (8 oz.)
7 / 11
10 Cane Rum: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10canerum
*Calories: 185* To all the devoted rum and Coke fans out there, try substituting regular Coke for Diet Coke. You'll be saving about a hundred calories and a whole lot of sugar.
Gin/Vodka and Tonic (8 oz.)
8 / 11
WordRidden: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wordridden
*Calories: 200* There's a common misconception that this classic combination of gin or vodka and tonic water is a guilt-free cocktail. Tonic water, however, is not a freebie, packing about eighty calories and twenty-two grams of sugar per eight oz serving. If you want to make this drink a truly skinny cocktail, request calorie-free soda water in place of tonic and ask for extra lime to add flavor.
Red Wine (5 oz.)
9 / 11
*Calories: 120* After a long day of work, the sound of a wine cork popping is extremely satisfying. Not only will a glass of wine relax you, but it is also relatively low in calories and has proven health benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and neurological disorders. I'll raise a glass to that!
Shot (1.5 oz.)
10 / 11
*Calories: 100* Shots, shots, shots! They are small, quick, and often painful. Just keep in mind that every time you throw one back, you instantly tack on a hundred more calories to your daily total. If using chasers, choose low-calorie sodas, reduced-calorie fruit juices, or garnishes such as lime so that you don't consume extra calories with each shot.
Pizza (1 piece)
11 / 11
jeffreyw: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreyww
*Calories: about 275* Even worse than the calories in your drinks is the sneaky way alcohol increases your appetite while decreasing your willpower. There's a reason pizza places stay open well after the bars close. If you find yourself after the bars close suddenly paying the cashier for a big piece of pizza smothered in cheese and oozing grease, you'll probably regret it in the morning.

I had a hard time deciding between four of them: Naked, Cold Comfort Farm, Radioactive Lady or Confederacy Of Dunces. They all look good in their own way.
Naked is a great and funny book, but after reading up on some reviews I decided to go with another. I am a fan of melodramatic and melancholic classics (speaking of which, I recently saw the new Jane Eyre film and it's fantastic), so it intrigued me to hear of a book lampooning them.
In fact, I went ahead and bought it because I was too curious and (harumph!) there were no previews anywhere. The stupid nook preview contained the forward! So now I'm already a few chapters into Cold Comfort Farm and am enjoying it. I've already laughed out loud a few times. The oddest thing about it is that it's technically science fiction, since it's set slightly in the future from when it was written and some characters occasionally have some advanced technology.

Nothing Tougher!
Pelican Black Case with Pick 'N Pluck Foam.
It's unbreakable, watertight, airtight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof! These are just some of the features of this Pelican Protector Case that offers total protection for all your equipment.

Its exclusive 1/4" (6.4 mm) neoprene o-ring and ABS latches seal perfectly and includes an automatic purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure. Your equipment can fit into the high-density "pick-n-pluck" foam for total protection against impact, vibration or shock. A nameplate (included) can be personalized (engraved at additional cost).
This case is NATO certified and tested to IP-67 (Ingress Protection). You break it, we replace it... forever.

CASE DEPTH: 2-9/16" (6.5 cm)
- BUOYANCY: Floats in salt water with 7 lbs (3.2 kg) load

A Closer Look:
By Design
The Pelican Protector Case uses solid wall construction and open cell core design to give you an indestructible travel case. The lightweight ultra high-impact .25" structural copolymer polypropylene outer walls are four times stronger than a conventional injection molding cases. The non-corrosive stainless steel pins securely attach the handles, latches and hinges to the body.
O-ring Seal
The secret to a watertight case is its o-ring of course! The unique design of the Pelican case features a tongue and grove fit with a neoprene o-ring that acts like a dam--stopping water from invading the case. This helps make the case water and air tight up to 30 feet. The o-rings are removable and replaceable.
Purge Valve
The exclusive Automatic Purge Valve is a semi-permeable membrane, which resists water ingress and automatically release pressure in case of atmospheric pressure changes. That makes it perfect for holding camera lens because it will help keep them dry-preventing fungus from growing on your expensive lens.
Ultimate Protection System
The versatile "Pick 'N' Pluck" foam padding guards even the most sensitive of equipment from damage. The foam padding is pre-scored so you can create a custom fit around any device-photography gear, a laptop, electric testing devices and much more.
Easier Latches
ntroducing the new easy-to-open Double-Throw Latch. It's the classic "C" clamp design with some clever physics thrown in. The secondary movement works like a pry-bar to begin the release and offers plenty of leverage to open with a light pull. With a failure threshold of nearly 400 lbs. for each latch, you could drive a car over it without them failing.
Frame Mounting System
Pelican offers an easy solution for installing interface panels to any Pelican Protector Case: our mounting bracket installs beneath your panel and fits against stops molded inside the case walls. The o-ring seals the panel so the case remains watertight even with the lid open. With pre-drilled holes and stainless steel screws, fabricating a custom case is faster, stronger, and more accurate.

In December 2007, I had Zevalin for relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A couple weeks after infusion, my abdomen and chest and back have had a warm sensation on the inside, like a heating pad. I call it my easy-bake oven. I often have low-grade fevers. What is causing this warm sensation? I'm guessing it might be the decaying of cells being destroyed. What info do you have? My doctor hasn't heard of this side effect. Thank you.
I also have not heard of these types of symptoms related to Zevalin (ibritumomab). If they persist, it may be worthwhile to undergo repeat evaluation of your lymphoma to make sure it has responded well to the Zevalin.
Zevalin is one of two radioimmunotherapies currently available for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These therapies use a radioactive substance attached to a monoclonal antibody. When the antibody targets the cancer cell, a dose of radiation is given as well. The idea behind this method is to deliver the radiation in a limited, precise way in order to limit the overall side effects to the patient.
The main side effect of Zevalin is a reduction in blood cell counts. Other temporary side effects are related to giving the drug by infusion, and include chills, fever, sore throat and nausea.

SFP optical module controller features dual-receiver interface
Post a comment
Sunnyvale, Calif.Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the DS1877, an SFP video controller with a dual-receiver interface.
The DS1877 controls and monitors all receiver functions for SFP and SFP+ optical modules and fully supports the SFF-8472 specification. The DS1877 controls dual-receiver SFP modules and enables the low-cost implementation of SDI digital video and other optical video applications.
Its state-machine approach eliminates the need for expensive microcontrollers and, in turn, avoids the costly software development they require. Paired with the DS1876 (an SFP controller with dual laser driver interface), the DS1877 enables full-featured optical video modules at a fraction of the cost of microcontroller-based designs, according to Maxim.
The DS1877 monitors four analog channels: temperature, Vcc, and two external differential signals. Loss of signal (LOS) is continuously monitored in both receiver channels, and all LOS functionality is supported.
The DS1877 is fully specified over the -40°C to +95 °C temperature range.
Pricing: $1.75 starts at $1.75 (1000-up, FOB USA).
Availability: In a 5mm x 5mm, 28-pin TQFN package.

PHD Scholarships in Melbourne
Qualitative research on addiction
The National Drug Research Institute (NDRI) invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified candidates for a PhD scholarship in qualitative research on addiction. The scholarship will be based in NDRI's Social Studies of Addiction Concepts research program.
The Program
Concepts of addiction vary across time and place. Focusing on the field of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use, this program of research maps and monitors changes in addiction concepts and language in Australia and around the world. Key questions the research program explores include:
- How is addiction made in debates about new drugs and new issues such as online drug markets or 'the new recovery'?;
- How do changes in terminology affect the way AOD policy is designed and implemented?;
- How is addiction depicted in popular culture and how do these depictions relate to policy, law and service provision?;
- How do individuals experience diagnoses of addiction?;
- How do medical and public health definitions of addiction relate to legal responses to drug use;
- How do new developments in knowledge impact on understandings of addiction and responses to it?; and
- How do public understandings of addiction and representations in the media contribute to policy and practice?
The Scholarship
The scholarship will carry an annual tax-free stipend of $29,424 a year for three years. It will commence in 2014 and is based at NDRI's Melbourne office, located at Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre in Fitzroy.
The closing date for applications is Monday November 4. For more information, including the selection criteria, download the flyer.

Red tides lead to beaches full of dead fish, which result in beach closings, loss of reputation, ruined vacations, and loss of potential capital. Additionally, the bloated, baking fish that wash up on shore create health hazards for individuals who clean beaches and for the local inhabitants. Learn how beach cleaners can help clean up this 'fishy' hazard.
This blog is managed by H. Barber & Sons. Founded in 1966, Barber is the world leader in beach cleaner production and authority on beach cleaning practices. This site and blog have been compiled to provide information about beach cleaners--their methods of cleaning, importance, and many applications.

Time is running out to put forward your hero for this year's Community Leadership Awards.
Sutton Council is looking for nominations for the awards but they must be in by January 28.
People who are nominated should fall into one of five categories - Making a difference to their neighbourhood, Building prosperity, Improving people's lives, Keeping Sutton safe, or Making Sutton greener.
Every winning hero will be given £100 in vouchers as a little reward for all their hard work.
Councillor Ruth Dombey, leader of Sutton Council, said: "You know who these everyday heroes are.
Tell us their names so we can give them a little of the recognition they deserve."
Last year Les Wileman deservedly won the Improving People's Lives award for tirelessly visiting residential and nursing homes and befriending people who don't get many visitors.
Melanie Chiwera also won for her work with the Benhill Estate Residents' Association, particularly in helping set up vegetable patches, and Martin Furtauer-Hayes, Sutton's Town Centre Manager, was recognised for his outstanding contribution to serving the borough's residents.

Senator Dale M. Volker Announces $50,000 For The Town Of Wethersfield Salt Shed Construction
(Albany, NY) Senator Dale M. Volker (R-I-C, Depew) today announced that he has secured $50,000 in state funding for the construction of a salt shed for the Town of Wethersfield. The funding was secured as part of the adopted 2004-2005 adopted state budget.
"The Town of Wethersfield has, for several years, stored their sand and salt in the open which has made leaching a major issue for this small municipality," said Senator Dale M. Volker. "The costs associated with building a new salt shed for the Town of Wethersfield, without state financial support, could have impacted taxpayers and placed a financial burden on this small municipality. It is clear that the town is making every effort to better store its sand and salt from the snow and rain, which can damage these materials that are used during inclement weather conditions. I am pleased to have worked with Town of Wethersfield Supervisor John F. Copeland to bring this project to realty to protect the town's taxpayers and ensure that the roadways in this area are safe for driving public-at-large during the winter months."
John F. Copeland, Town Supervisor for the Town of Wethersfield said, "This is tremendous news for the Town of Wethersfield. We knew from the beginning that building a new salt shed could be cost-prohibitive and that is why we contacted Senator Volker for his assistance. The $50,000 that the Senator secured will now allow us to move forward with this project is a timely manner to protect our sand and salt materials that we use during the winter months to de-ice the roads. I would like to personally thank Senator Volker for his continued commitment to the Town of Wethersfield in securing state resources that improve our communities."
"Salt sheds may not have the glitter and pizzazz of a new bridge or a restructured highway, but they are the meat and potatoes of a highway program designed to ease the burden on communities as they try to cope with the tantrums of Mother Nature," said Senator Volker. "An added plus in building this salt shed is that it will also reduce contamination of the environment by salt piled on bare ground. This is a win for the Town of Wethersfield and a win for our environment."

Nothing in Shopping Cart
Part 1 - Ursula's Rescue
Ursula happened into our lives and taught us that love can heal the broken heart of a dog and that there is always hope if you help an animal in need. I'm Ursula's owner, Lynne, and this is her story.
Whenever possible, if I see an animal in distress I try to help. It was early June 1992, and summer was just heating up in Southern California. I commuted every day to the garment district to my job as a textile designer. When I left my office at the end of the day, I noticed a large, black dog cowering in the parking lot. I immediately approached her to see if she would come to me, but she slunk away, visibly scared, but almost too weak to move.
I've seen packs of dogs in the industrial areas of Los Angeles, who are "professional strays", cruising the streets looking for food. This dog was different because she wouldn't leave the parking lot. I thought she was probably abandoned. When I asked the lot attendant how long she had been there, he said, "all day", and cautioned me to leave her alone because she looked like a rottweiler and "you know, they are vicious." Various people who saw me trying to coax her offered their advice or leftover lunches but my efforts were unsuccessful. The pathetically thin and filthy dog would stay just out of my reach.
Finally, a man who had a rope in his truck helped me corner her against the fence and I fashioned a harness around her. We were relieved she didn't struggle too much as we hoisted her into my Pathfinder.
As I drove away with the bewildered dog, I looked in my rear view mirror at the mangy creature. I have the capacity to see the potential beauty in things, so I imagined a match being made. I got home, put her in my cool garage with food and water, and made arrangements to have the vet check her out.
I was aware the dog could have been lost and contacted the Humane Society, but I didn't want to check her in because she already seemed so traumatized. I planned on putting an ad in the paper too, but I thought whoever claimed her better have a good story because she showed signs of abuse. She had some distinctive marks -- scars on her neck and a sandwich-sized bite out of one of her ears -- that could be easily identified.
I needed to name her something, so I called my unsuspecting friend Patrick, (Ruff Wear's founder) and asked him for some German women's names. He rattled off a couple and when Ursula rolled off his tongue, I said, "That's it." "That's what?" he asked. "Well, I found a dog today. . ." and told him the story.
I sat in the garage with the newly named Ursula, and it became obvious she wasn't used to any kind of gentle social contact. She had the mannerisms of a haggard junkyard dog as she paced around the garage, though she did seem to enjoy being gently scratched on the forehead. I braced myself for the responsibility of taking her in -- by the looks of things, she was going to be a big project!
In the morning, I called the L.A. Times to place a "found" ad and dropped her off at the vet for a bath and checkup. The vet reported she was between 6 and 8 years old, was an unspayed female rottweiler, had terrible teeth, but all in all, was a good-natured dog. The "good-natured part" was encouraging I thought, as I loaded her into the truck again. Now that she was clean, I could see she was missing large amounts of hair from her face and body. This dog had been through a lot.

The next governors' meeting at your school may be held in a soft-furnished, carpeted space with a drop-down whiteboard to display the latest version of the school development plan, sophisticated ICT support, plus a coffee machine bubbling on the side. Or you might be scrambling for a clear desk space in a tatty classroom, with a draught of air blasting through the meeting and no spare socket to charge your laptop.
The difference between these two scenarios is likely to depend on where you live: if you have already been part of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, you should be sitting comfortably, happy in the knowledge that rebuilding - or refurbishment - has created an efficient learning environment for all your students and every other stakeholder who uses the school.
The problem, highlighted by the National Audit Office earlier this month, is that the programme is behind schedule and the global economic crisis has jeopardised its private funding model.
An NAO report revealed that the cost of remodelling secondary schools in England has escalated by £10bn, the programme is two years behind schedule, and just 42 schools have been built instead of the 200 planned. It also warned that another generation of students would have to study in crumbling buildings beyond 2020 if the scheme did not accelerate.
The government is seeking emergency funds from the European Investment Bank to try to alleviate the financial gap created by banks withdrawing support.
What, you might ask, could governors do about this? Many governing bodies have already complained that they have been left out of the planning and consultation process as large-scale tendering processes and contract talks are held behind closed local authority doors. But now, I believe, it is up to all governors to take a stand about the state of their school, before we are faced with a building collapsing over our heads.
There was - and still is - merit in the BSF programme but the government must find a way to ring-fence some central funding to tackle the most serious building issues immediately. Schools cannot go on breaking every health and safety issue in the book because they happen to be situated in a reasonably affluent area, which means they are languishing at the end of the BSF queue and may, ultimately, never see any cash.
Governors know the state of their own buildings and local authorities have the ability to make comparisons between schools in their area. We must audit the condition of our premises, lobby the authority, and get it, in turn, to lobby central government. Invite your MP, councillors, education officers and stakeholders into your school and get them to experience and understand the peril in which we are putting some students. Local authorities claim that their hands have been tied by BSF and they have no funding for even the most needy cases. But it is crucial that Ed Balls, Jim Knight et al understand that some schools are not fit for purpose and need urgent help. The BSF programme must be restructured to allow the most dangerously dilapidated schools to take priority. There are 350,000 governors in England - that is a very powerful lobby, if we can get our act together.

Witnesses began testifying Monday in the trial of an Augusta man accused of taking part in a violent crime spree that included murder, rape and robbery.
Hamlet Perdomo, 26, has pleaded not guilty in Richmond County Superior Court to every charge in a 15-count indictment.
Sheriff investigators contend the crime spree began in the early morning hours of Sept. 11, 2010, when 56-year-old Carl Bush Sr. was shot to death in a parking lot at Reynolds and Fifth streets. According to prior court testimony, Bush had handed over his wallet at an assailant's demand before he was shot.
A few days later, on Sept. 14, 2010, a couple was accosted in south Augusta by three men who were in a vehicle.
The three men were also identified as the same men who accosted a second couple hours later on Fenwick Street. The woman was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by two of the men, whom she identified as Perdomo and his brother Hector Torres. The third defendant, Michael Rewis, was identified as the driver.
Rewis, 22, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He will stand trial separately from Perdomo. Torres was tried and convicted of all charges in January.

New contextual pop-up help
27 March 2008
I'm not really sure what to call this. Tool-tips? Hover help? Anyway, you should now notice something new if you hover your mouse cursor over any of the linked words in Diary entries. Here's an example:
Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
27 March 2008
I'm not really sure what to call this. Tool-tips? Hover help? Anyway, you should now notice something new if you hover your mouse cursor over any of the linked words in Diary entries. Here's an example:
30 December 2007
As I mentioned a couple of months ago I've been adding Wikipedia content into the Encyclopedia pages. I've now looked through the 2,797 Encyclopedia pages and 535 now feature Wikipedia content.
4 November 2007
I've now added the ability for some pages in the Encyclopedia to automatically pull in relevant content from Wikipedia.
28 October 2007
I have added a bit of extra contextual information in the sidebar next to every diary entry. You can now see:
The average temperature for that month (daily data isn't available until 1772) as recorded by Gordon Manley of the Royal Meteorological Society. You can view the full dataset on the Met Office's website.
Links to the relevant daily Journals for the House of Commons and House of Lords from British History Online. These will hopefully give some context to Pepys' more political activities.
My thanks to Terry Foreman for finding both these sources of information that help bring Pepys' world alive. If anyone can suggest anything else, do let me know.
13 October 2007
The most requested feature for the site has been to receive daily diary entries by email. It may have taken me nearly five years for me to manage this but, finally, it's now possible.
5 March 2007
Thanks for all your comments on the new design. I've made a few changes based on what you said, as described below. If things look a little odd you may need to visit this file and click the Reload button in your browser.
2 March 2007
As you can tell, the site's had a lick of paint! Everything should be working OK now, so if you come across anything that looks broken, or that doesn't work as you expect, do let me know (and tell me which web browser and operating system you're using).
2 January 2007
Some time ago I raised the possibility of readers of the diary adopting pages in the Encyclopedia and becoming editors of them. I made a few changes to the site that made this possible, and a couple of press-ganged "volunteers", Jeannine and Todd, have so far given this a try.
9 September 2006
Since the site started, most of the places listed in the Encyclopedia have had links to their location on Streetmap. I've now replaced these with a map from Google Maps which shows the location in the page, which is more convenient.
5 December 2005
A. Hamilton suggested in an annotation that we could use a section in the Encyclopedia for information about the Pepys household. I'm certainly finding it hard to keep track of which servants are currently working there, for example.
29 September 2005
As most readers are aware, I add new entries to the Encyclopedia section as we progress through the diary, as Pepys meets new people, visits new places, etc. Until now I haven't included pages for all the plays he's seen, but this was becoming an increasingly obvious omission. So I've created pages for all the plays Pepys has seen or mentioned so far and will keep it up to date like everything else.
24 July 2005
Update: The first article has now appeared!
You might notice a few things around here have been tweaked. This is to make room for a new section of the site: In-depth Articles. This will, hopefully, be a home to occasionally essays about aspects of Pepys' life or the world in which he lived. If you would like to write something that doesn't seem to fit elsewhere (perhaps because it's too long for an annotation or covers too many topics to find a home in the Background Info pages), either drop me a line or raise the idea in the discussion group. The first article will appear this week…
24 September 2004
Kal Ahmed has been busy creating topic map of events in Pepys' Diary. What is it? Kal takes the events of each day and transforms them into XML, a format that can be easily interpreted by computer programs. From this he's generated web pages that, for example, show you when Sam sent and received letters, what plays have been mentioned, or what happened when he journeyed from Brampton to Hatfield.
22 July 2004
The Story So Far section of the site is now up to date, providing a monthly summary of events in the diary. Hopefully this should help people who haven't been with us since the start, who have to take a break from the diary, or those of us who simply need reminding of past events occasionally.
28 March 2004
The old Further Reading page didn't allow anyone to post their suggestions to it, so we were ending up with book recommendations scattered through the annotations. I've now created a new Further Reading section in Background Info, so if you would like to recommend something that isn't already listed, feel free!
If you want to recommend a book but can't see a page that's right for it, do email me and I'll add one.
4 August 2003
It's been suggested before, but the need for it has become more apparent as the diary goes on. I've created glossary category in the Background Info section for words that are used reasonably often, that need explaining, and that don't have a more suitable category. "Link boy" is the only entry so far, and if you think of anything else (in past or future diary entries), just let me know. It should help cut down on anyone having to explain the same things too often!
27 July 2003
In the past we've debated whether there's a need for a more informal discussion space, aside from the diary annotations. While we didn't reach a conclusion, I think it's worth a go. There have been a number of off-topic annotations recently and I think we would all benefit from somewhere we can dicsuss things, or ask questions, that don't fit anywhere else.
1 March 2003
I made a few little changes today:
19 February 2003
I'm often adding new categories here and there in the Background Info section but I thought I'd just mention a couple of bigger changes today. I've added a lot of new categories and pages in the Food and Drink category and I've split the Places category into some sub-categories to make it more manageable. Thanks to David for his exhaustive efforts in the former case! As ever, let me know if there's anything else you think would be useful in there.
14 February 2003
No doubt you've noticed the new section by now. Hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory. It's a directory of pages each devoted to a specific topic. These pages can then be annotated with information or links to other sites. The information should stay rather more "current" than that posted to diary entries which tend to "fade away" as we move through the diary. The People and Places pages are now integrated into this section.

'Morning Joe' Panelist Actually Asks if We Can 'Trust' Mitt Romney if He 'Colors His Hair'
'Morning Joe' Panelist Actually Asks if We Can 'Trust' Mitt Romney if He 'Colors His Hair'
- Posted on October 10, 2012 at 10:58am by Erica Ritz

Former CNBC host Donny Deutsch appeared as a panelist on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday, quickly becoming the object of ridicule by his colleagues after asking whether we can "trust" Mitt Romney if he colors his hair.
Following a discussion of skyrocketing gas prices and the state of the economy, Deutsch remarked:
"I'm going to shift gears crazily…as you were playing the images of Mitt Romney– I don't know if anybody's ever asked this– I'm not being glib here. He's got the white sideburns– does he color his hair? And I'm being serious. And if he does– can we trust the guy?"
As Mika Brzezinski — hardly a supporter of the Republican nominee– stepped in to cut the man off with an exaggerated "okay" and later an "Oh my God," but Deutsch continued: "How come we never ask that question? Why does nobody ask that question?"
Joe Scarborough countered by saying the question he's most often asked is why they have Deutsch as a panelist on the air.
But Deutsch persevered : "Do you want a president of the United States who colors his hair?"
"Ronald Reagan colored his hair for 80 years– we're good," Scarborough replied shortly, saying it was time to move on.
But Deutsch couldn't resist adding: "Is that a yes?"
"I think if the average American thought a man was coloring his hair, he would lose trust in him," Deutsch concluded. "I'm serious."
Watch the entire segment below, via Mediaite:
And I thought I had "heard" it all. WHO are these people and how do they get hired?
When nothing of substance is left to say ...
now that's deep!
Let's delve into this most important subject.. as soon as I get back from washing the dye out of my hair...
(lol.. actually did that yesterday morning...)
