Fire: Friend and foe
Thirteen years ago, I witnessed a new, hard-edged ecology that operates in the West. I was sitting in the stands of our small rodeo arena, watching irritated bulls throw off a succession of young men like so many rag dolls, when a bolt of lightning ripped the sky, striking the juniper-clad ridge across the valley. The next day, as the winds whipped up, a smoldering tree erupted into a crown fire that raced across several thousand acres.
When the smoke cleared, the geography of the fire-burned land was as plain to see as a missing piece of jigsaw puzzle: A forest had become an open desert.
The Bureau of Land Management dropped seed on the site that fall, and by the following year, some grasses had re-established themselves. The most ubiquitous species, however, was one the agency had not sown and had hoped to exclude: Cheatgrass, a Eurasian import that thrives on fire and is green for only a few weeks in early spring, quickly took over the burned area and has remained there ever since.
Will a forest ever return to our ridge? Probably not in my lifetime, because cheatgrass has altered its ecology. That fact was driven home last summer, when another lightning strike set off a cheatgrass-fueled fire in the original burn area, killing native shrubs and trees trying to regain a foothold and reinforcing cheatgrass's dominance.
Western ecologists - and this publication - have argued vigorously that we must embrace fire to restore our native ecosystems. It's an attractive idea, particularly given that efforts to suppress fires over the past century have provided the fuel - in the form of dense stands of trees and shrubs - for the fires that now burn so ferociously. But to simply embrace fire without considering the new ecological context humans have created via the introduction of exotic plants and pests is naive. Today, fire can lead as often to ecological conversion as to restoration.
That's certainly the case with Arizona's Sonoran Desert, where, as Michelle Nijhuis reports in this issue, an African native called buffelgrass has rapidly spread into the cactus-studded hills surrounding Tucson and Phoenix. Like cheatgrass, buffelgrass thrives on - and fuels - fires that are lethal to native flora. Despite the valiant efforts of dedicated buffelgrass pullers, the Sonoran Desert of the future will likely look more like a dry African savanna than a desert.
So, should we go back to our Smokey Bear mentality and put out every fire we can? No. By now we know that there is no cookie-cutter approach to maintaining healthy native ecosystems. Fire will happen in the West, no matter what we do, and fire thoughtfully marshaled can reinvigorate our forests, particularly at higher elevations.
But exotic species are here to stay, and keeping them from overrunning native ecosystems will require a multipronged strategy, including fire suppression, the judicious use of herbicides, and, ironically, the intentional planting of other exotics. In Utah, researchers were excited to discover that a plot of rangeland planted with an Asian shrub after a 1984 blaze remained unscathed when this summer's massive Milford Flat Fire passed through, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. Forage kochia is not only fire-resistant; it spreads slowly, competes well with cheatgrass, and provides shade and stable soils for native plants.
Fighting exotics with other exotics does not have the clean-edged ecological appeal of, say, letting a lightning-caused fire just do its thing. But in this complex battle, we need to look at every tool available.

MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — The attorney for a parade float driver in a fatal train collision in West Texas says the driver is under a doctor's care and remains "very much in shock" after the incident.
Dale Andrew Hayden was identified Tuesday as the driver in last week's crash that left four veterans dead and 16 people injured.
Attorney Hal Brockett says Hayden is himself a veteran who served in Afghanistan. The 50-year-old is now a truck driver for an oilfield services company. He was driving a flatbed truck Thursday carrying two dozen veterans and their loved ones for a parade in their honor.
The truck was passing a railroad crossing when it was hit by a Union Pacific train.
Brockett says words can't express Hayden's "sorrow and remorse" for the victims.

Vance Worley's season is over.
The Phillies announced Tuesday that Worley has been placed on the disabled list because of a right elbow injury that will require surgery. The team said he will undergo surgery in the next seven to 10 days.
Bone chips were discovered in Worley's elbow when he was forced to go on the disabled list in the middle of May. His ERA in his last five starts, including Tuesday's game against the New York Mets, was 6.75. He had a 5.80 in his final 11 starts.
Worley said after Tuesday's game that his elbow had "zero effect" on his pitching problems. Manager Charlie Manuel said Worley has had real difficulty commanding his pitches.
After a sensational rookie season in which he went 11-3 with a 3.01 ERA, Worley will likely show up at spring training next year fighting for a job in the rotation. While Worley spends September on the disabled list, righthander Tyler Cloyd will make a September audition, starting with his major-league debut in Wednesday night's game against the Mets.
Cloyd, a combined 15-1 with a 2.26 ERA at double-A Reading and triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, is filling in for an ill Cole Hamels Wednesday, but should remain in the rotation because of Worley's injury.

baileysoriginal Since I get up at 5:15 every workday and have a 35 minute drive to the otherworld - I usually arrive there just before 7:00am. I have about 30 - 40 minutes before the rest of the office staff shows up so I use these precious minutes to have something of a breakfast - usually it's a breakfast sandwich but sometimes it's soup or cheese & crackers - I've never been able to do breakfast stuff like oatmeal or cereal or those bars - and doughnuts and pastries make me run the other way.

Next Play
(Narrator is sitting in a big chair with a large book in her lap.)
Narrator:Hello, everyone. I would like to read you the story of Sleeping Beauty. Ahem, 'Once upon a time...'
(We look over the Narrator's shoulder and can see the page of the book. Sleeping Beauty is on the page, holding very still as if she's a picture in the book. Sleeping Beauty suddenly wakes up.)
Sleeping Beauty:Hello?
(Narrator is confused and looks around, not knowing where the voice is coming from.)
Hey, down here in the book!
(Narrator realizes and looks down to the pages of the book.)
Narrator:Hello, Sleeping Beauty?!
(Narrator looks to audience and is completely surprised and confused.)
(Sleeping Beauty is in a scene in the Narrator's book. Sleeping Beauty yawns as she says each of her lines.)
Sleeping Beauty:I am sorry. My name is Aurora, more famously known as Sleeping Beauty. Listen, can you do me a favor? I spend so much of this story sleeping. Can you change things around a bit?
Narrator:I'm kind of telling a story.
Sleeping Beauty:Look, 100 years is way too long for someone like me to be asleep � even though I do love my beauty sleep. Can you just snap to it and get Prince Charming in here sooner? You know, speed dial or something? Oh, no -
(Sleeping Beauty falls on the ground and starts snoring loudly.)
Narrator:Well...Ahem, let's move on to another story, shall we?
(The Narrator turns to the next page of the book and we see Cinderella on the page.)
We'll try Cinderella. Ahem. 'Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She...'
Cinderella:Could you call me Cindy? I don't really like Cinderella.
Cinderella:Cinderella's such a weird name. I like Cindy.
Narrator:But you have a story named after you and everybody knows you by your full name. I can't say, 'Once upon a time there was a girl named Cindy. It doesn't sound right!'
Cinderella:Have you seen my shoe?!
Narrator:No. Now can I start the story?
Cinderella:Sure, go ahead. I'm gonna look for my shoe.
(Cinderella walks out of the book, leaving a blank page. The Narrator is getting frustrated.)
Fine! We'll move on to Little Red Riding Hood.
(The Narrator turns the page to where Little Red Riding Hood is standing with her arms crossed.)
Red Riding Hood:The wolf howls every night right under my window! I mean wolves, they could eat somebody! Next time just don't include the wolf.
Red Riding Hood:I've got a great idea-How about a lamb instead of a wolf in my story? It'll be GREAT! I can say, "My, What SOFT WOOL You Have!"
Narrator:This is getting out of control.
(Jack enters as Little Red Riding Hood leaves, and the Narrator gives an exasperated look.)
Jack:Hey. I'm Jack, and I'm tired! I'm overworked and underpaid!
Narrator:Oh no.
Jack:First you've got me jumping over CANDLESTICKS that are on FIRE. Then I'm climbing huge BEANSTALKS and getting chased by GIANTS! THEN, you've got me climbing up steep hills and fetching pails of water. And then you've got me sitting in a corner pulling plums out of pies! Has anyone considered that I'm allergic to plums?
(Looking at the audience.)
Jack:It's RIDICULOUS. I need to talk to my AGENT!
(A cell phone starts ringing.)
Oh, I think that's me.
(Jack pulls a cellular phone from his knickers. We hear a voice say: FEE FI FO FUM.)
(Jack addresses Narrator.)
I gotta take this.
(Jack begins having a private conversation on his cell phone, and walks into the background, but stays within the page of the storybook.)
(When Jack walks upstage, all the characters from the previous stories begin to crowd the frame. There is complete chaos! A cacophony of annoyed and complaining fairytale voices bombards the Narrator.)
All Fairy Tale Characters:Hey, one other thing! You didn't let me finish my point! Can you believe these other guys! Hey, get out of my way! This is MY story! (Etc.)
Narrator:I've HAD it!
(In complete frustration, the Narrator closes the book and the voices become extremely muffled.)
Narrator:Ahhh. That's better.
(A beat. Then we hear sounds of the Fairy Tale Characters struggling to lift something...)
All Fairy Tale Characters:GrrrrruNT!
(The book flies open and the voices resume in full volume!)
Hey, why'd you do that?! As I was saying, you need to give me better lines! I don't like the part when I fall asleep! I think Prince Charming took my slippers! Why don't I have a happy ending and a happy beginning? Do I have to wear a red hood? I'm more of a winter. (Etc.)
(The Narrator puts her head down on the table in frustration while the Fairy Tale Characters are louder than ever.)
Narrator:AUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! Next time I'll stick to nonfiction.

President's Blog - May 2014 - The Road Less Traveled
May 15, 2014
I smile to myself when I reflect on the many unique, and sometimes painful, journeys that students have related to me over the years. It is extremely gratifying when students persisted and these divergent paths eventually led to transforming college experiences and college degrees.
While I cheer those who succeeded, I have to ask—why have not more students chosen similar journeys to develop into critical thinkers, to gain confidence in their learning abilities, and to leave an institution of higher education as more confident and competent individuals ready to take their places as responsible citizens in the Commonwealth and America? Graduating students will not only contribute to the intellectual capital of the region, but they will eventually earn money to help their families, serve as role models, and maybe start a business and employ others.
How can we encourage more young people to take the road less traveled into emerging fields of study in higher education that will respond to the needs of the region and America?
With this Blog, I ask that you, too, reflect upon this question with me—how can we muster whatever it takes, the political will, and the infrastructures needed to increase and amplify the intellectual capital in the region? What can each individual do to maximize the outcomes in human capital that could possibly alter the America we live in and amplify the American dream for many?
Dr. Randal Pinkett, an extremely well-educated scholar who is viewed by some as one of the elite intellectuals of this century, and I discussed this briefly before Cheyney University's recent Commencement. We were both concerned that there appears to be a broadening economic and social gap that could be tearing at the social fabric (education, wealth, health, quality of life, and overall well-being) of our society. We believe that we (Americans) will each have to redouble our efforts to help young people see possibilities, believe in themselves, and gain the courage to venture forth.
As Dr. Randal Pinkett so aptly employed as a metaphor in his inspirational 2014 Commencement speech, it seems appropriate to end this Blog with the quote from Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

How to Use the Images
Questions for Photos 3 and 4
1. Is there evidence in Photo 3 that the original river has been altered by human effort? Explain.
2. Looking at both photos, what changes does Photo 4 document that have taken place since Photo 3 was taken?
3. If you had not seen Photo 3, do you think you could tell that the landscape in Photo 4 was man-made? Why or why not?
* The photos on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 3 and Photo 4, but be aware that each file will take as much as 50 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Phoenix Central is open for business at USQ
STUDENTS will now have access to everything they need to know about social and sporting aspects at university.
A shopfront focusing on student life has opened on the University of Southern Queensland's Toowoomba campus.
Phoenix Central, located just off USQ Toowoomba's grassy Quad, was launched this week as part of O Week.
It will provide students with tools and information to get involved in university clubs and societies, social activities and sporting events such as the University Games.
Orientation co-ordinator Christopher Watson said O Week was the perfect time to launch Phoenix Central.
"We're looking to build the community side of things at USQ," Mr Watson said.
"By increasing student engagement we can really energise the students' university experience by providing opportunities for personal growth and development.
"These activities and experiences give students the chance to make new friends, develop graduate skills, establish networks and connect with their local community."
Mr Watson said the shop would also organise activities like live music, barbecues and outside games every Wednesday during the USQ Common Hour.
Students can also take advantage of a free coffee hour every week.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — An omission in the Pledge of Allegiance had NBC issuing an on-air apology Sunday during the U.S. Open.
The network opened its broadcast with a montage that included children reciting the pledge, but the words "under God" and "indivisible" were omitted.
The backlash on social media was quick and harsh, with some tweets calling for a boycott of NBC.
"We began our coverage of this final round just about three hours ago, and when we did it was our intent to begin the coverage of this U.S. Open championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being held in our nation's capital for the third time," announcer Dan Hicks told viewers. "Regrettably, a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance that was in that feature was edited out. It was not done to upset anyone, and we'd like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it."

CHICAGO (AP) — Two men circled a park on Chicago's South Side looking for members of a rival gang before one crept up on a group seeking shelter from the rain under a canopy and opened fire, striking a 15-year-old honor student who once made a video protesting gang violence, prosecutors said Tuesday.
New details about the death of Hadiya Pendleton emerged during a court hearing in which a judge denied bail for the two men charged with murder in her death, 18-year-old Michael Ward and 20-year-old Kenneth Williams.
Williams' attorney denied that his client was a gang member, but Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Jennifer Sexton laid out in sometimes chilling detail — much of it, she said, provided by the defendants themselves — of a hunt for rival gang members that ended with a deadly case of mistaken identity.
Authorities have said no one in Pendleton's group was affiliated with a gang. Her death is one of dozens of homicides in Chicago already this year but has drawn national attention in part because the drum majorette performed as President Barack Obama's inaugural festivities just days before the shooting.
Sexton said Ward and Williams belonged to the SUWU gang and were trolling the streets about a mile from Obama's Chicago home on Jan. 29, looking for members of a rival 4-6 Terror gang. They saw Pendleton and her friends huddled under the canopy about 2 p.m., mistook them for members of the other gang and pulled over in an alley, she said.
Ward told police the two gangs had been shooting at each other since 2010, and he was angry with the 4-6 Terror gang for shooting and killing a friend of his, Sexton said. He hopped out of the car and was handed a gun by Williams, who police said had been shot in the arm by a member of a rival gang just six months earlier, she said.
"Defendant Ward admitted he snuck up on the group and they didn't see him coming," Sexton said. He fired at least six times, she told the judge. One bullet struck a 17-year-old in the left ankle, and another grazed the left foot of another 17-year-old.
Pendleton was hit in the upper back.
"She was able to make it outside of the park and then collapsed on the street," Sexton said. The teen died later that day.
Ward ran back to the car, where Williams was waiting, and the two drove off, the prosecutor said. Police tied the two to the shooting with cellphone records that placed Williams near the park at the time, and surveillance video showing Ward's mother's white Nissan driving back and forth by the park.
Ward admitted his role in the shooting to police in videotaped interviews, and Williams confessed "to a third party witness," State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said later. She did not elaborate.
Pendleton's slaying has drawn national attention, in part because of its proximity to Obama's home and in part because the teen had performed during inauguration festivities. First lady Michelle Obama attended the girl's funeral Saturday, and Pendleton's parents were to join the first lady on Tuesday to listen to the president's State of the Union address, in which he is expected to talk about gun violence.
But although Pendleton has become a symbol of the cost of gun and gang violence, authorities said it also was a just a case of mistaken identity.
"Defendant Ward admitted that the girl, now known as Hadiya Pendleton, had nothing to do with it," Sexton said in court. "She was just there."
Attorneys for the two suspects did not speak much at the hearing but talked to reporters afterward.
Ward's attorney, Jeff Granich, suggested Ward is a victim of the intense national attention the case received and pressure to close the case.
"The problem when criminal cases get made into political cases ... rules are bent and mistakes are made," he said. Ward, he said, asked repeatedly for 48 hours to speak to an attorney but "during that time those requests were ignored by the Chicago Police Department."
Williams' attorney, Matthew McQuaid, said Williams was not a gang member and he doubted any admission of guilt.
"The question of whether Mr. Williams made any kind of statement, I think, is in question," said McQuaid, who described his client as a high school graduate who lives with his family and works at an air courier service at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Williams' only run-in the law was on a retail theft charge "for which he received supervision," McQuaid said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A bitter Washington budget battle that partially closed the government for 16 days and took the United States to the brink of a debt default has hurt the labor market this month and will cost the economy vital growth, the White House said on Tuesday.
"There is no question that this brinkmanship is going to cost us a couple of tenths (of a percentage point) on our growth rate in the fourth quarter and a decent number of jobs in October," White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman told CNBC television.
The shutdown also delayed the release of last month's jobs report by several weeks. It was published earlier on Tuesday and showed that a weaker-than-expected 148,000 jobs were created last month.

By Frederick Kempe
(Reuters) - Happy Europe Day!
If you don't know May 9 is Europe Day, then you find yourself in good company with a majority of Europeans. Even in the most buoyant time, this holiday - marking the Schumann Declaration, presented by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in 1950, that launched the European Coal and Steel Community - doesn't come with the transcontinental fireworks of America's July 4.
It does, however, provide occasion to reflect on the growing perils to Europe, and the enormous risks they pose to both the United States and the global future. For all the talk of Europe's fiscal deficits, or the "democracy deficit" that leaves European Union institutions lacking accountability and legitimacy, the most dangerous deficit is one of Europeans.
Last week, no less an authority than Jose Manuel Barroso, the European Council president, lamented in a speech that the European dream was under threat from a "resurgence of populism and nationalism" across the 27 countries and 500 million people of the European Union. Barroso said:
"At a time when so many Europeans are faced with unemployment, uncertainty and growing inequality, a sort of 'European fatigue' has set in, coupled with a lack of understanding. Who does what? Who decides what? Who controls whom and what? And where are we heading? … And, let us be clear, the indifference of many pro-Europeans is also a risk."
The percentage of European nationals who distrust the European Union is growing with alarming speed, according to the Eurobarometer, a public opinion service of the European Commission. In November 2012, some 72 percent of Spaniards said they "tended not to trust the EU," compared to just 23 percent five years earlier. In Italy, the figure has spiked to 56 percent from 41 percent.
Concern should be greatest in Germany, where public opinion toward Europe could be most decisive to the continent's future. Europeanism was long a welcome identity for a country that after World War II was more than happy to embrace an alternative.
That attitude has eroded with increased distance from the country's Nazi past and growing doubts about Europe's future - as well as the economic cost to Germans of the euro zone crisis.
Though Germans by a 75 percent majority still prefer remaining in the euro, some 56 percent have no trust in the EU, and fewer than a third have a positive image of the EU. German Chancellor Angela Merkel dare not ignore the emotion behind the emergence of Germany's first anti-euro party, the Alternative for Germany. Though its support in September elections is likely to be small, its ideas are influencing the public debate.
A senior German policymaker told me recently that Merkel is an even more passionate European than is commonly understood, and that she would never abandon the euro. "But it is increasingly difficult," this official said, "to keep the German electorate with her."
In a European Council on Foreign Relations paper, experts Jose Ignacio Torreblanca and Mark Leonard wrote:
"What is striking is that everyone in the EU has lost faith in the project, both creditors and debtors … In southern European countries, the EU looks like the IMF did in Latin America: a golden straitjacket that is strangling the space for national politics and emptying their national democracies of content … In northern European countries, the EU is increasingly seen to have failed as a controller for the policies of the southern rim. The creditors have a sense of victimhood that mirrors that of the debtors."
Key Obama administration officials have come to recognize the enormous stakes for the United States and the world of European unity and effectiveness. The United States, with just 19 percent of global gross domestic product, can only shape the future global system through closer collaboration with its most important European allies.
It isn't just that the European Union is the world's largest economy, it has also been the world's most effective force in extending democracy and free markets over the past 20 years - embracing 15 new member states in a manner that has expanded rule of law and reduced ethnic conflict.
Geostrategic purpose is perhaps the most important motivator behind President Barack Obama's decision to highlight the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations in his State of the Union message.
Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told Globsec, an annual security conference in Bratislava, that, though the agreement will be hard to negotiate and implement:
"Eventually, it can create additional transatlantic bonds that will dramatically alter the geopolitical realities of the world as a whole. It can shape a new balance between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceanic regions, while at the same time generating in the West new vitality, more security and greater cohesion."
The larger problem, Brzezinski said, had to do with the nature of today's Europe.
"Europe needs leaders who can personalize and dramatize the historic mission of a more united Europe in closer intimacy with America. In Western Europe today there is a dearth of historical imagination and of global ambition. There is no Churchill, nor De Gaulle, nor Adenauer. Current political discourse is dominated by narrower perspectives and by the more immediate preoccupations of their constituents. But in the process the inspirational vision that is expected of democratic leaders is absent."
European leaders are aware enough of their problem that they dubbed 2013 as "The European Year of Citizens." For its part, the European Commission has released this Europe Day video. But PR won't solve the problem, any more than a banking union could.
Without a rediscovery of moral, historical and global purpose, the deficit of Europeans will grow. We will all suffer the consequences.

Brazil's real advanced after policy makers intervened following a plunge in the currency last week to a three-year low on slower-than-forecast third-quarter economic growth.
The real gained the most in five months after the central bank sold $2.1 billion in currency swaps in two auctions today. The bank also offered as much as $5 billion today with an agreement to repurchase the U.S. currency later to boost liquidity. Swap rates dropped on speculation policy makers will keep borrowing costs at a record low through the first half of 2013 after a Nov. 30 reported showed that Latin America's biggest economy grew at half the pace analysts had projected.
The currency appreciated 0.9 percent to 2.1172 per dollar at 5:43 p.m. in Sao Paulo after earlier rallying as much as 1.8 percent, the most on an intraday basis since June 29. Swap rates on contracts due in January 2014 fell four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 7.17 percent.
"With the weak GDP outlook, there has been pressure on the real," Bernd Berg, emerging-markets strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, said in a phone interview from Zurich. "They don't want the real to depreciate too quickly."
The central bank sold 41,800 currency swap contracts due in January worth $2.1 billion in two auctions today to stem the real's losses.
"The central bank once again offered currency swaps, helping stabilize the reeling real after Friday's unexpectedly weak GDP figures sent the real into a tailspin," Eduardo Suarez, a senior currency strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto, said in an e-mailed report. The central bank may try to keep the real between 2.05 and 2.15 per dollar, he wrote.
Currency Policy
Policy makers have oscillated between selling reverse swaps to protect exporters by keeping the real from strengthening and selling swap contracts aimed at preventing the real from depreciating too quickly and creating inflationary pressures,
On Nov. 23, the central bank sold $1.6 billion in currency swaps in the first use of the instrument since auctions from May 18 through June 29. From August through October, the bank sold reverse currency swaps to keep the real weaker than 2 per dollar and make Brazil's exporters more competitive. The currency traded in a range of 2 per dollar to 2.1 per dollar from July 4 through Nov. 21.
To promote liquidity, the central bank sold dollars today in two credit line auctions. The first auction had a threshold of 2.122450 and the second had a price threshold of 2.132400, the bank said in an e-mailed statement. Policy makers last held such an auction in December 2011. The auction aims to improve liquidity as end-of-year company remittances squeeze the supply of dollars. The central bank rejected all dollar bids in its 2011 auction.

BC is a leader in local and sustainable eating. The 100-Mile Diet was initiated by two Vancouverites, and the Vancouver Aquarium helped develop the Ocean Wise program to encourage restaurants across Canada to make environmentally friendly seafood choices.
It's easy to have a 100-mile meal in British Columbia: in addition to plentiful seafood from the Pacific Ocean and BC's lakes and rivers, many chefs update their menus seasonally to incorporate the freshest (and often organic) fruits and vegetables from the Fraser, Pemberton, Cowichan, Okanagan or Creston valleys. Artisanal cheeses and dairy, wild mushrooms (chanterelles, morels and lobster), Cariboo bison and beef and Kootenay Rockies game help round out a meal. There was even a 24-mile beer brewed in Victoria!
Looking to dine on the mountaintops? In Whistler, dig into fluffy waffles at 1,800m/6,000ft. Hike the Grouse Grind near Vancouver for nachos and the view. For the ultimate panorama, order a meal at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden – at 2,347m/7,700ft elevation, its restaurant is the highest in Canada.
Oceanfront resorts on Vancouver Island or the west coast of BC offer stunning views with dinner. In Tofino, watch winter storms while enjoying fine dining, or tuck into a salad grown on-site in Sooke. For intimate meals with sweeping water views, cycle to a bed and breakfast on the Sunshine Coast or the Gulf Islands.
In the Okanagan, winery restaurants often overlook lakes and vineyards and offer a wide selection of local wines to pair with lunch or dinner. Mission Hill's winery restaurant was named a top winery restaurant in the world by Travel + Leisure.
Taste Aboriginal-inspired cuisine made with local ingredients at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre in Whistler or the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate.
The Pacific Ocean lines the entire west coast of BC, so aquatic delicacies are local, varied and sometimes served the very same day they're caught.
Favorites include BC spot prawns, oysters, mussels, BC black cod, clams, halibut, dungeness crab and, of course, wild sockeye salmon – enjoy it grilled on a cedar plank, smoked or candied.
Afternoon tea in British Columbia is a tradition that has flourished ever since the British introduced it to the province more than a century ago and is especially popular in Victoria.
Typical menus feature seasonal berries, dainty finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones slathered with preserves and thick cream, and pots of uniquely blended teas.
Connect with farmers and fields on a "slow food cycle" through Agassiz, Chilliwack or Pemberton. Celebrate local food in a mountain town at the Taste of Fernie, or join fellow-minded garlic lovers at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival.
Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler each have special "dine out" events, where high-end restaurants offer set menus at reduced rates. To learn about what wine to pair with dinner, don't miss the Okanagan's famous seasonal wine festivals.

Look! Catching up with Alancraft
We recently sat down with Alan of Alancraft for the first time since he built a small kitchen cabinet for our apartment. It's been several years, but he's busy as ever creating custom woodwork projects all over Manhattan. He brought us up-to-date on his portfolio, some of which we're sharing here:
• 1 A large (and we mean large - this is 6'x10') bookcase of walnut plywood and painted white mdf. Alan says the customer's request to have a back on only one section of every level made sense structurally, making the piece become more sturdy
• 2 This built-in cabinet for Far from Timid is made to store material samples. We love its glossy white lacquer finish and the way it apparently makes storage out of every last ounce of space.
• 3 One more look at the Far from Timid showroom.
• 4 This 90" wide dresser's very cool with its texture of walnut pieces making up the drawer fronts. Some walnut pieces are smooth, others rough, to create a sort of mosaic. The outer case of the dresser is made of sapele, a species similar to mahogany.
• 5 This project is a bit of a spatial innovation, creating an oak and granite wet bar out of a closet.
• 6 Another innovative use of space with a desk built into a corner.
• 7 An asymmetrical coffee table of contrasting maple and Macasser ebony. There's a hidden drawer for storing remote controls.
• 8 This floating cabinet would make a perfect landing strip. It's made of dark stained mahogany and those panels on the doors are actually made of fabric.
For more on Alancraft's range of work, which includes everything from kitchen cabinets and bookcases to free-standing furniture like tables, chairs, and dressers (this guy pretty much builds anything out of wood that one is able to dream up), check out:

The Maine Department of Wildlife will no longer be mailing the any-deer, bonus antlerless deer, or superpack antlerless deer permits/transportation tags.
Instead, permit winners will need to record their permit number that can be found online after the drawing, and report the permit number to the registration station when tagging their deer.
The Department suggests that permit winners write their permit number down and keep the number with your license, so it is readily available when needed at the registration station.

Type Functions: Implementation Status
Debugging of type family patch:
boxySplitTyConAppand friends must be able to deal with
orig_tys that have outermost type family applications; i.e., they need to try to normalise and possibly have to defer. They also need to defer on skolems. Consequently, they also need to return a coercion. This , in particular, affects the treatment of literal lists, parallel arrays, and tuples in
TcExpr.tcExpris fishy.
- The tests
rwused to raise more type errors right away. Now, we see less recovery.
- To fix Roman's GADT1 test, proceed as follows (as suggested by SPJ):
TcGadt.uUnrefined: the occurs check needs to be more subtle. If the variable occurs, but does so under a type family application, do not fail, but just defer.
- This requires a function
Types.tyVarsOfTypeDefinitethat returns only those variables not occurring under type family applications.
- Moreover, the unification monad
UMmust be extended to be able to collect
EqInstfor later insertion into the LIE.
- We may have to do the same for other occurs checks.
- And we definitely need the whole deferral machinery for the GADT unification in
- Merge and debug type family patch.
- Add some wiki documentation of how inference with type families works.
Parsing and Renaming
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level):
- Defaults for associated type synonyms. (Having both a kind signature and vanilla synonym is problematic as in
RnNames.getLocalDeclBindersits hard to see that not both of them are defining declarations, which leads to a multiple declarations error. Defaults are quite different from vanilla synonyms anyway, as they usually have tyvars on their rhs that do not occur on the lhs.)
- Parsing and renaming of kind signatures (toplevel and in classes).
- Parsing and renaming of indexed type declarations (toplevel and in classes).
- Using new syntax with
instanceon top level.
- Added
- Allowing
typetag in export lists to list associated types in the sub-binder list of an import/export item for a class.
- Import/export lists: ATs can be listed as subnames of classes and the data constructors of instances of a data family are subnames of that family.
- Parsing and renaming of equational constraints in contexts.
Type Checking
Todo (low-level):
- Enforce syntactic constraints on type instances needed to ensure the termination of constraint entailment checking.
- If an associated synonym has a default definition, use that in the instances. In contrast to methods, this cannot be overridden by a specialised definition. (Confluence requires that any specialised version is extensionally the same as the default.)
Todo (high-level): [Tom has done much of this.]
- Type checking of type functions (and hence, associated type synonyms); routines in
TcUnifythat need to be extended:
boxySplitTyConApp: The second argument (
BoxyRhoType) can be a synonym family application. Then, we must produce a wanted coercion and return a
HsWrappervalue that applies that coercion.
boxySplitAppTy: Basically, the same deal as the previous.
boxySubMatchType: Not sure yet. Do we need to handle the case where in
goone type is
FunTyand the other a synonym family application? But the function doesn't handle the case where a
FunTymeets a tyvar either, so its probably ok to ignore.
boxy_match: Not sure yet. Do we have to handle the case where
t_tyis a synonym family application? On the other hand, this prematching seems to be an approximation. How much does it hurt if we just ignore this?
boxy_lub: Unclear. Also seems to approximate.
tcSubExp: Defer to boxy matching if we have a synonym family application.
uVar, and their intefaces
unifyTheta, and
unifyTypeList: Generate wanted equalities and produce coercion(s). !!!Still need to check usage patterns!!!
HsWrappervalue (unless the unification fails), which is
WpHolewhenever the coercion is empty. The disadvantage is that this blows the tree between type checking and desugaring up. An alternative is to return the coercion only when needed, but write some auxilliary functions that take the result of
boxySplitTyConAppand friends and turn the optional coercion result in an always present (real Haskell) function that we always apply to the type-checked pattern (in
TcPat) or expression. It is simply
idwhen we don't need a coercion.
- Arguments and results of synonym families are always tau types. Then, boxy subsumption becomes easy to handle. When we have a synonym family application, we defer to boxy matching (i.e., unification) and if that comes up with a coercion, we return it as the subsumption coercion.
- Type checking in the presence of associated synonym defaults. (Default AT synonyms are only allowed for ATs defined in the same class.)
- Type check functional dependencies as type functions.
- Kind and type checking of kind signatures.
- Kind and type checking of instance declarations of indexed types, including the generation of representation tycons.
- Wrapper generation and type checking of pattern matching for indexed data and newtypes.
- Consistency checking for family instances.
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level): None.
- Representation of family kind signatures as
- Extension of
Class.Classby associated
- Extension of
TyCon.TyConwith a reference to the parent
TyConfor data instances.
- Extension of
DataCon.DataConwith instance types for constructors belonging to data instances.
- Extension of
TyCon.TyConsuch that the parent of a data instance is paired with a coercion identifying family instance and representation type.
- For indexed data types, the datacon wrapper uses data instance coercion and pattern matching casts the scrutinee via an
ExprCoFnin a
- Import and exporting.
- Generation and plumbing through of rough matches.
- Equational constraints in contexts.
Regression tests of type family patches
validate result:
Unexpected passes: Class1(normal) GADT2(normal) Unexpected failures: Refl2(normal) Simple5a(normal) rw(normal) tcfail065(normal) tcfail068(normal) tcfail071(normal) tcfail076(normal) tcfail102(normal) tcfail103(normal) tcfail153(normal) tcfail179(normal)
- Class1: VALID. (Only marked to fail in head to keep validate happy.)
- GADT2: VALID. (Only marked to fail in head to keep validate happy.)
- Relf2: VALID. Type family BUG.
- Simple5a: VALID. Error message changed.
break001: INVALID. GHC panic instead of printing error message about ambiguous variable. break006: INVALID. Seems to be the same problem as break001. print019: INVALID. Seems to be the same problem as break001.
- rw: VALID. Changed error message. Reports one error less. Other one is pruned, but still raised if the first one is removed.
tc210: INVALID (matching
forall a.a -> Intagainst `Int -> Int fails).
tc211: INVALID (tests impredicative types). tcfail046: VALID. Changed error message, BUT the new error message has one more type synonym unfolding, which should be avoided.
- tcfail065: VALID. Cosmetic difference, as tidy names are assigned in different order.
- tcfail068: VALID. Reports two errors less (probably due to different recovery points). Yes, I checked that its not that it admits incorrect programs, but just due to different order of checking/pruning of errors.
- tcfail071: VALID. Now reports one instead of two errors as deferred unification is checked only after the contexts of mutually recursive groups have been unified. (The latter is what this test case is really about, and it still works fine for that.)
- tcfail076: VALID. Same as tcfail065.

- tcfail103: VALID. Error message is actually better!
tcfail128: VALID. Same as tcfail046. tcfail145: VALID. Error message got worse.
- tcfail153: VALID. Error message is different, but equally correct and accurate. The type mismatch manifests itself at two different subexpressions. Due to a different traversal order, we now report the error at the other subexpression.
- tcfail179: VALID. If anything, the error message improved.
- while: VALID. Works if definition of

Monad m => a -> m a. The error seems to be due to the new GADT rules about annotations, but the error message is a bit strange; ie, need to be improved.

Huskers Head to Big Ten Indoor Championships
Where: Geneva, Ohio (SPIRE Institute)
When: Friday, Feb. 22 (9 a.m. CT) - Saturday, Feb. 23 (9 a.m. CT)
Live Results: LightningTiming.com
Tape Delay: Big Ten Network - Saturday, March 5 (11 a.m. CT)
The Nebraska track and field team will head to the 2013 Big Ten Indoor Championships at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23.
The meet is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. CT on Friday with the men's heptathlon 60 meters, while the first field event will be the women's pole vault at 10:30 a.m. and the first track event is the women's 3,000 meters at 11 a.m. The men's heptathlon 60-meter hurdles start the action on Saturday at 9 a.m. CT, the women's high jump will be the first field event at 10 a.m. and the women's 5,000 meters will be the first track event at 11:30 a.m.
Of the 22 teams in attendance, seven of them enter the meet ranked in the nation top 25. On the men's side, the Huskers are fifth, while Penn State is seventh, Indiana in ninth, Wisconsin is 10th and Minnesota is 15th. Illinois leads the women, checking in at No. 15, while Michigan is No. 17.
A Look at Last Year's Big Ten Indoor Championships
The Huskers hosted the 2012 Big Ten Indoor Championships at the Devaney Center Indoor Track. The women's team completed the championships in historic fashion with a 114.50-106 win over defending champion Ohio State, while the men finished third with 99 points. The women produced three individual titles and the men came away with two individual crowns during the two-day meet.
104 and Counting
The Nebraska women's track and field team capped its first Big Ten Indoor Championships in style with a 114.50-106 win over defending champion Ohio State last season. The NU women earned the second Big Ten title in school history and the first team title for the track and field program. Nebraska has a total of 104 conference titles as a program.
As an overall program, the Huskers won 51 Big Eight titles during the conference's history from 1974-1996 and Nebraska continued to dominate the conference since moving to the Big 12 in 1997. NU had won a league-high 23 team titles, including the program's historic 100th conference team title in 2007.
The Huskers added their 101st and 102nd titles during the 2009 and 2010 outdoor seasons when they became the first men's team in Big 12 history to win back-to-back team titles at the outdoor conference meet. Nebraska recorded its 103rd conference title in 2011, as the women's team upset four-time defending champion Texas A&M at the indoor championships.
Husker Men Rank Fifth in USTFCCCA Poll
The Nebraska men's track and field team is ranked fifth in this week's U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I poll.
The Huskers moved up two spots from last week into the fifth spot with 73.12 points. Arkansas is ranked No. 1, while Florida is second, Texas A&M is third and Texas Tech is fourth, while Oklahoma State, Penn State, Texas, Indiana and Wisconsin round out the rest of the top 10. Five Big Ten men's teams are ranked in the top 15 nationally, with four in the top 10.
Nebraska senior Mara Griva has the opportunity to become a back-to-back-to-back conference champion in the triple jump this weekend. The Ventspils, Latvia, native won the Big 12 title in 2011 and earned the Big Ten crown last year with a jump of 42-9 1/2 (13.04). The Husker women also have a chance for a three-peat in the women's team title race.
Huskers Dominate Mark Colligan Memorial
The Nebraska track and field team hosted the Mark Colligan Memorial on Feb. 9 as they welcomed the Alabama Crimson Tide and North Carolina Tar Heels to the Devaney Center. The Huskers used a dominant performance to earn 18 event crowns and sweep the team titles.
Top Competition Highlights Husker Invite
Some of the nation's best competition was at the Devaney Center for the 38th annual Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational. Nebraska came away with six titles on the weekend in the men's and women's long jump, men's 600 meters, men's 800 meters, women's mile special and the men's 4x400 relay.
Huskers Sweep adidas Classic Team Titles
The Nebraska track and field team swept the meet titles at the adidas Classic for the fifth straight year on Jan. 19 at the Devaney Center Indoor Track. Both Husker squads dominated the field, as the women finished with 207 points, while Wichita State finished second with 100 points. The men posted with 205.33 total points; Iowa was second with 111 points. The afternoon was highlighted by numerous personal best performances and 19 event titles for Nebraska, including Jessica Furlan, Janis Leitis and Mara Weekes all winning more than one individual event crown on the day.
Winning Ways
The all-time winningest track and field coach in the history of the Big 12 and the former Big Eight Conference, Nebraska Head Coach Gary Pepin enters his 33rd season at NU during the 2013 track and field season. The longest tenured active coach in Cornhusker athletics, 2013 will be Pepin's 33rd season as head coach of both the Husker men's and women's track teams. Pepin captured 23 Big 12 titles as the Huskers' leader.
In his first 32 seasons at Nebraska, Pepin has coached athletes to 57 NCAA titles, 477 All-America honors and 516 conference titles.
White Leads Huskers, Earns Big Ten Honor
Junior James White made a quick name for himself at the Holiday Inn Invitational during the first weekend of competition, stealing the show and winning the men's high jump with a leap of 7-5 1/4 (2.27), a personal best for him. His jump is the second-best jump in the Big Ten and is fifth all-time in the Nebraska record books. He is the reigning junior college high jump champion after completing the last two years at Central Iowa Community College. White was named the Big Ten Co-Field Athlete of the Week on Jan. 14.
Leitis, Griva Honored by Big Ten
Senior Janis Leitis Nebraska was honored by the Big Ten Conference on Monday, Jan. 21 as he was named the league's male field athlete of the week.
Leitis is undefeated in the long jump this season. He ranks first in the conference and is sixth in the nation in the event. He also ranks fourth in the triple jump nationally and leads the Big Ten Conference.
Mara Griva was named the Big Ten Female Field Athlete of the Week on Monday, Feb. 4 after finishing first in the long jump (20-4 ½) and second in the triple jump (42-5 ¼) at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational. Both marks rank first in the conference, while her long jump is 14th nationally and her triple jump ranks 12th in the nation. Griva also won the long jump (20-0 1/4) and triple jump (41-8 1/2) at the Mark Colligan Memorial.
Akinmoladun's Stellar Start
Oladapo Akinmoladun opened his 2013 season by recording the second-best time in the Big Ten this season, the 17th-best time in the nation and the ninth-best performance in Husker history with a personal-best-tying time of 7.83, giving him his first event title as a Husker.
Vidlak Climbing Record Books
Nebraska junior Trevor Vidlak recorded the second-best time in Husker history at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite with a personal-best mark of 14:13.62 in the 5,000 meters. He ranks 10th in the Big Ten Conference. He is also 18th in the Big Ten in the 3,000 meters (8:11.58) and is 16th in the mile with a time of 4:05.55.
Brinn Continues to Excel
Senior Tommy Brinn improved his season time in the 600 meters to 1:17.95 at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite, earning the event title. Brinn's personal-best in the event is 1:17.63, and he is third in the event in the Big Ten Conference. He ranks 18th in the nation in the 800 meters with a time of 1:49.11.
Husker Throwers Set PR's
Chad Wright took home the men's shot put title at the adidas Classic with a throw of 61-6 ¼ (18.75). He improved his personal-best to 61-7 (18.77) at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite, moving him to third in the Big Ten and 14th in the nation. Taylor Shapland recorded a personal-best throw of 57-5 (17.50) at the adidas Classic, the 16th-best throw in the Big Ten.
On the women's side, Annie Jackson leads the way with a personal-best throw of 53-7 (16.33) in the shot put at the Mark Colligan Memorial that ranks fifth in the Big Ten. Veronica Grizzle posted a personal-best throw of 51-10 1/2 (15.81) at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite and ranks sixth in the Big Ten, while Carlie Pinkelman ranks eighth in the Big Ten with a throw of 50-7 1/4 (15.42).
All-America Pipeline
Nebraska has been a staple at the NCAA Indoor Championships as the men's team alone has produced 118 All-America awards. The men's squad has been on quite a roll as they have had at least one athlete earn All-American honors at the past 22 national meets. Since the indoor championships began in 1965, the Huskers have failed to leave with at least one All-America award on just five occasions, including 1975, 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1990.
The women's team has been just as good indoors since the national meet started in 1980. Along with three straight national titles from 1982 to 1984, the Huskers have two or more All-Americans at every meet except for 2002 when they failed to earn a honor.
Huskers Name 2013 Captains
The Nebraska track and field team named its 2013 captains earlier this year. Leading the team this season will be Tommy Brinn, Jessica Furlan, Mara Griva, Tim Thompson, Bjorn Barrefors, Morgan Wilken, Chad Wright, Anne Martin, Seth Wiedel and Ellie Grooters.
Wright Under Consideration for Bowerman Award
Nebraska junior Chad Wright was listed among the names released on the initial Bowerman Watch List by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Wright is one of six who received votes on the initial ballot from the selection committee.
The Bowerman, which debuted in 2009, is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the most outstanding male and female collegiate track & field athletes in the nation. It is named after legendary coach Bill Bowerman. The award takes into consideration the performances during the indoor and outdoor NCAA track and field seasons.

This is recommended practice in Scotland, too. I participated in the Scottish Borders Memory Bank, www.memorybank.org.uk, as a volunteer as well as being the project manager for the website development. All the contributors signed release forms, whether for oral, written or photographic contributions.

Would be interested in seeing the format for such a document to use when interviewing.
- 27 January, 2014 11:34
I was involved with filmed interviews for a documentary, "A Struggle to Remember: Fighting for our Families", being produced by the Workers Heritage Centre here in Ottawa. Our interviewees had to sign waivers to allow use of their contributions. I suppose audio is no different than film but it's not something I would have thought of when doing family related interviews.

The 'oral history' subject within the Graduate Diploma in Local and Applied History (University of New England, NSW, Australia) has always emphasised the need for a signed release. I even used one when I interviewed my parents, because I knew that one day I would want to publish transcriptions of their stories.
- 27 January, 2014 15:00
I can understand consent when an outsider is gaining information but family? They used to write letters home which we use and yet they only wrote to other members of the family, not thinking it would go further. Is it not stretching it too far when it is family for family? What do we now do with the oral history we have gathered over the years without written consent and the person has now passed?

Anonymous makes a good point. The writer of letters holds the copyright and it may have passed to their heirs.
Most families, I suspect, would not object, however when I was helping an old man write his memoirs, several members of his family wrote to me and to him threatening legal action if we published any part of any letters to him without their express permission. Faced with that threat, he decided to omit the letters - a pity because they were interesting and revealing.

I know people are excited, but this could go wrong quickly. Doesn't feel like a Kentucky situation, to me.
You have a big four...but while the potential is there for a National Championship, you also have a risk of selfish play that would absolutely destroy this team in the tourney. Kentucky may have had the star power, but every guy in that five didn't mind taking a backseat on offense on any given night. Ever.
UCLA possibility a Big 3 forming?

^ Exactly & Calipari is a far greater coach than Howland, especially with his overwhelmingly superior experience in handling tons of talent and big egos.

Don't think many UCLA fans would care if they won the Nat. Championship this year though.
the real question Is how many if them will be one and dones

If Howland can get them to play well together and they make a deep run in the tournament that will help him in the future recruiting. This year is a big year for Howland... hopefully he has some good character guys who won't blow up this year mentally.
"The way Steve is as a teammate, the way he sets the tone, the way the team kind of takes on his persona. As a coach, that's the best thing in the world. It's easy to coach. He's taking care of the chemistry. You just coach."

Consumers rule where politicians fail
In his 1998 memoir As It Happened, the Hawke government's industry minister,
We now know motorists agreed with the then treasurer. Last year, nine out of 10 new cars purchased in Australia were from overseas. In effect, consumers have decided they don't need car manufacturing in this country. They prefer Daimler Benz and a range of other international roadsters. The industry's imminent closure was not a decision of government; it was a decision of the Australian people.
Button continued his account of the car meeting, with a harried union official emphasising how "people were getting pretty worried on the shop floor". Then Keating, "his eyes smiling, speaking softly", intervened. "You've got to remember", he said, "that the shoe is designed to pinch." Circa 1984, this was a new and unexpected interpretation of industry policy.
Later that afternoon, Button accompanied the delegation to the front door of Parliament House. The trade unionist "seemed slightly dazed". "Shit", he exclaimed. "Would you believe that? Did you hear what that bloke said? He said, 'The shoe is designed to pinch'."
The Labor Party has come a long way in the 30 years since this meeting – a long way backwards. Far from a pinching shoe, opposition industry spokesman
Carr tries to give the illusion of a sophisticated strategy, using fancy terms such as "co-investment" and "industry policy settings". In fact, he believes in a crude, Third World-type tactic: throwing government funds at multinationals. We know the Australian people don't support this approach because they have been unwilling to throw their own money at locally produced cars. As taxpayers, why would they want to do something they have refused to do as consumers?
Subsidies ineffective
If the shoe doesn't pinch, companies become complacent and inward-looking. They grow accustomed to living off state welfare, instead of investing in new design technologies and productivity. Under Ugg-boot economics, the private sector is pampered by the regular arrival of government cheques.
The wonder of Australian car manufacturing is not that it's closing down; it's that governments wasted so much public money ($30 billion since 1998) on unsustainable jobs in an unsustainable industry. In the past decade, no Australian-based car company has recorded an operating profit.
The industry's demise is a tipping point in Australia's political economy. It's a victory for consumers over the ineffectiveness of subsidisation. It's a sign that after 23 years of continuous economic growth and wealth creation, the consumption side of the economy has become more powerful than the production side. Cashed-up shoppers are exercising greater purchasing muscle than the feeble industry plans of union hand-maidens like Carr. Consumerism has finally beaten interventionism.
The political class does not want to hear this, but we have entered an era of marginalised government. Each day, the big news in the Australian economy is the strength of millions of consumer decisions, but this is essentially unreported in the electronic media. Where's the headline or controversy in people shopping? If politicians focused on the importance of consumer decision-making, how could they blame each other for economic uncertainty and unemployment?
In Canberra, it's business-as-usual. The opposition has latched onto a fear campaign, holding out false hope for "jobs plans". The media have a new round of conflict-based stories to report, interviewing workers and managers from ailing industries. No one's told them the war is over. Consumers have won.
