PARIS (AP) — Two incredibly rare albino alligators have arrived at their new French home — a Paris aquarium — after being bought from a reptile collector in Florida.
Thursday's snappy new reptiles, who are just over one year old, are part of an elite group of no more than 30 such alligators in the world.
Michel Hignette, head of the Porte Doree aquarium, says aquariums save the lives of these reptiles since they cannot survive in the wild.
Their recessive gene causes bright, white skin that burns in the sun and quickly attracts hungry predators.
It's not clear yet how the two will hit it off as they grow up — as it's still too early to tell if they are male or female.

WORCESTER — Some long-lost film of then-U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy has surfaced at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, exciting local history buffs and drawing interest from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
The 16-millimeter film, which runs about two minutes, shows Mr. Kennedy receiving a pledge pin from the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity on the night of Oct. 2, 1958, at the Worcester Armory building at Lincoln Square.
Mr. Kennedy's wife, Jacqueline, and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, the future U.S. attorney general, are also featured in the shoot. Mr. Kennedy receives his pin from Donald Ferrari, then president of the fraternity and a member of the class of 1959.
The film, which has never been shown publicly before, is grainy and badly lit.
In it, Mr. Kennedy is seen on a podium festooned with flowers and a welcome banner.
The film was screened recently for Phi Kappa Thetas now on campus.
According to WPI spokesman Andy Baron, the fraternity, then known as Theta Kappa Pi, was frequently referred to as the "National Fraternity for Catholic Men."
Officials said Frank Pakulski, a 1959 WPI alumnus who now lives in Vermont, was preparing to move 10 years ago when he found a reel marked "PKT Pledging." The film was on the reel.
WPI officials believe the footage holds historical significance.
William Wallace, executive director of the Worcester Historical Museum, said that Mr. Kennedy, while serving as senator, was often in town for political and other events.
However, he said he's not sure how many times those Worcester visits were captured on film.
"I can tell you that we don't have any," said Mr. Wallace.
Mr. Baron said the film has drawn the interest of Mr. Kennedy's presidential archives.
In addition to visiting WPI in October 1958, Mr. Kennedy stopped by Assumption College on Oct. 2 to dedicate the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Memorial Science Center to his older brother, according to Assumption spokeswoman Lorraine U. Martinelle.
Through a foundation, the Kennedy family had donated $150,000 toward the reconstruction of Assumption after the school's original campus was destroyed in the 1953 tornado. The science center was one of the five original buildings constructed on Assumption's new campus on Salisbury Street.
On Friday, the nation will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mr. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas.

LEXINGTON, KY -- Doug Collins is always excited by another basketball season but the 76ers coach has even more enthusiasm going into this year.
The Sixers have revamped a unit that took the Boston Celtics to a seventh game in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Obviously the Sixers did get a break when Derrick Rose was injured in the first playoff game against the Chicago Bulls and then later center Joakim Noah was sidelined.
Still, the Sixers won that series and extended a Boston team to the limit. That's a Celtics squad that that took NBA champion Miami to a seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals.
The feeling around the NBA was that the Sixers probably got as far as they could with last year's roster and apparently the team felt that way as well. That is why the Sixers made so many changes.
Just since that final game with the Celtics, the Sixers are bringing in veterans Andrew Bynum, Kwame Brown, Jason Richardson, Dorell Wright, Nick Young, and Royal Ivey, and rookie Arnett Moultrie.
Pair that with projected rotation players, Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, Thaddeus Young and Lavoy Allen, and the Sixers appear to be a much deeper team than last year. In Bynum, they have a viable all-star capable of impacting the game at both ends of the court.
It's not unrealistic to consider the Sixers a top-four team in the Eastern Conference. And Collins is raring to go.
"My mind is always going and I am a crossword puzzle guy, how to solve a puzzle," Collins said last week during the 1972 U.S. Olympic team reunion in Lexington, Ky. "We have new pieces and I like our pieces."
Of course Collins also wanted to praise a number of key players who have departed.
"Anytime you change your team you have to give up talent and we lost an incredible professional in Elton Brand," Collins said. "We lost a tremendous all-star, Olympian and world champion Andre Iguodala. We lost one of the best sixth men in the NBA in Lou Williams and lost a guy who helped us win a lot of games in Jodie Meeks."
Now the challenge is to mesh all these new players, which makes training camp that much more important this season.
"We think we have added size, we think we have added shooting," Collins said. "If we have our health I think we can do a lot of things."
It appears as if one of Collins' most difficult tasks will be to appropriate playing time.
"I like our versatility, I think we can play big, we can play small and I think we have the best low post player in the NBA," he said obviously referring to Bynum. "The big thing is how quickly we can put it together."
The season begins with the Oct. 31 opener at the Wells Fargo Center against Iguodala and the Denver Nuggets.
"We have to be ready when the season starts but I think our guys are committed to that," Collins said. "I am looking forward to it."

What Is Tonalism? (12 Essential Characteristics)
David Adams Cleveland
Illustrated and discussed, A History of American Tonalism, p. 338.
Tonalist painter and prizewinning watercolorist Charles Harry Eaton was largely self-taught and developed a sultry, low-toned style that spoke to George Inness's notion of the "human landscape"—intimate out-of-the-way places where the presence of man is only detected in old stone walls and worn cart tracks. Eaton's charming compositions impart, upon closer examination, surprising and captivating passages of expressive gestural paint handling, in which subtle patterns impart detail and both focus and please the eye. Towards 1900—he died in 1901—Eaton's paint handling became freer and more sensuous, his brushstrokes energized with subjective feeling, more gestural than chromatic, and often blended on the canvas surface to create ambiguous blurry forms. This late work moved beyond the simple portrayal of the seasons to the approximation of them in the very texture of his pigments.
American, 1850-1901

The House Party in Camp
it in the fashionable world (on the Atlantic coast) is rather suggestive of the dairymaid playing of Marie Antoinette; the rough part being mostly picturesque effect with little taste of actual discomfort. Often, of course, the roughing it is real, especially west of the Mississippi (and sometimes in the East too); so real that it has no place in a book of etiquette at all. In the following picture of a fashionable camping party it should perhaps be added, that not only the Worldlys but most of the women really
they are roughing it.
At the same time there is nothing that a genuine dependent upon luxury resents more than to be told he is dependent. It is he who has but newly learned the comforts of living who protests his inability to endure discomfort.
The very same people therefore who went a short time before to Great Estates, women who arrived with their maids and luggage containing personal equipment of amazing perfection and unlimited quantity (to say nothing of jewels worth a kings ransom), and men who usually travel with their own man-servants and every variety of raiment and paraphernalia, on being invited to rough it with the Kindharts at Mountain Summit Camp, are the very ones who most promptly and enthusiastically telegraph their delighted acceptance. At a certain party a few years ago, the only person who declined was a young woman of so little position that she was quite offended that Mrs. Kindhart should suppose her able to endure discomfort such as her invitation implied.
This year the Worldlys, the Normans, the Lovejoys, the Bobo Gildings, the Littlehouses, Constance Style, Jim Smartlington and his bride, Clubwin Doe and young Struthers make up the party. No one declined, not even the Worldlys, though there is a fly in the amber of their perfect satisfaction. Mrs. Kindhart wrote not to bring a maid. Mrs. Worldly is very much disturbed, because she cannot do her hair herself. Mr. Worldly is even more perturbed at the thought of going without his valet. He has never in the twenty years since he left college been twenty-four hours away from Ernest. He knows perfectly well that Ernest is not expected. But he means to take himhe will say nothing about it; he can surely find a place for Ernest to stay somewhere.
The other men all look upon a holiday away from formality (which includes valeting) as a relief, like the opening of a window in a stuffy room, and none of the women except Mrs. Worldly would take her maid if she could.
The men all rummage in attics and trunk-rooms for those disreputable looking articles of wearing apparel dear to all sportsmen; oil soaked boots, water soaked and sun bleached woolen, corduroy, leather or canvas garments and hats, each looking too shabby from their wives (or valets) point of view to be offered to a tramp.
Every evening is spent in cleaning guns, rummaging for unprepossessing treasures of shooting and fishing equipment. The women also give thought to their wardrobesconsisting chiefly in a process of elimination. Nothing perishable, nothing requiring a maids help to get into, or to take care of. Golf clothes are first choice, and any other old country clothes, skirts and sweaters, and lots of plain shirt waists to go under the sweaters. An old polo coat and a mackintosh is chosen by each. And for evenings something comfortable and easy to put on in the way of a house gown or ordinary summer day dress. One or two decide to take tea gowns in dark color and plainest variety.
All the women who sew or knit take something to work on in unoccupied moments, such as the hours of sitting silent in a canoe while husbands fish.
Finally the day arrives. Every one meets at the railroad station. They are all as smart looking as can be, there is no sign of rough clothes anywhere, though nothing in the least like a jewel case or parasol is to be seen. At the end of somewhere between eight and eighteen hours, they arrive at a shed which sits at the edge of the single track and is labelled Dustville Junction, and hurrying down the narrow platform is their host. Except that his face is clean shaven and his manners perfect, he might be taken for a tramp. Three far from smart looking teamstwo buckboards and an express wagonare standing near by. Kindhart welcomes everyone with enthusiasmexcept the now emerging Ernest. For once Kindhart is nonplussed and he says to Worldly: This isnt Newport, you knowof course we can give him a bed somewhere, but this is really no place for Ernest and theres nothing for him to do!
Worldly, for the moment at a loss, explains lamely: I thought he might be usefulif you could find some corner for him to-night, then we can seethats all right, isnt it?
Kindhart as host cant say anything further except to agree. Everyone is bundled into the buckboards (except Ernest who goes on top of the luggage in the express wagon), and a corduroy drive of six or eight miles begins.
Summit Camp is a collection of wooden shacks like a group of packing cases dumped in a clearing among the pine trees at the edge of a mountain lake. Those who have never been there before feel some misgivings, those who have been there before remember with surprise that they
liked the place! The men alone are filled with enthusiasm. The only person who is thoroughly apprehensive of the immediate future is Ernest.
In front of the largest of the shacks, Mrs. Kindhart, surrounded by dogs and children, waves and hurries forward, beaming. Her enthusiasm is contagious, the children look blooming. That the hardship is not hurting them, is evident! And when the guests have seen the inside of the camps most of them are actually as pleased as they look. The biggest shack is a living-room, the one nearest is the dining camp, four or five smaller ones are sleeping camps for guests and another is the Kindharts own.
The living camp is nothing but a single room about thirty feet wide and forty feet long, with an open raftered roof for ceiling. It has windows on four sides and a big porch built on the southeast corner. There is an enormous open fireplace, and a floor good enough to dance on. The woodwork is of rough lumber and has a single coat of leaf-green paint. The shelves between the uprights are filled with books. All the new novels and magazines are spread out on a long table. The room is furnished with Navajo blankets, wicker furniture, steamer chairs, and hammocks are hung across two of the corners. Two long divan sofas on either side of the fireplace are the only upholstered pieces of furniture in the whole camp, except the mattresses on the beds.
The guest camps are separate shacks, each one set back on a platform, leaving a porch in front. Inside they vary in size; most have two, some have four rooms, but each is merely one pointed-roofed space. The front part has a fireplace and is furnished as a sitting-room, the rear half is partitioned into two or more cubicles, like box-stalls, with partitions about eight feet high and having regular doors. In each of the single rooms, there is a bed, bureau, washstand, chair, and two shelves about six or seven feet high, with a calico curtain nailed to the top one and hanging to the floor, making a hat shelf and clothes closet. The few double rooms are twice the size and have all furniture in duplicate. There is also a matting or a rag rug on the floor, and that is all!
Each cottage has a bathroom but the hot water supply seems complicated. A sign says your guide will bring it to you when needed. Mrs. Worldly, feeling vaguely uncomfortable and hungry, is firmly determined to go home on the next morning train. Before she has had much time to reflect, Mrs. Kindhart reports that lunch is nearly ready. Guides come with canisters of hot water, and everyone goes to dress. Town clothes disappear, and woods clothes emerge. This by no means makes a dowdy picture. Good sport clothes never look so well or becoming as when long use has given them an accustomed set characteristic of their wearer. The men put on their oldest country clothes too. Not their fishing treasures to sit at table with ladies! The treasured articles go on in the early dawn, and the guides are the only humans (except themselves) supposed worthy to behold them!
Presently a gong is sounded. The Kindhart children run to the guest houses to call out that the gong means dinner is ready! And dinner means lunch.
In a short while the very group of people who only ten days before were being shown to their places in the Worldlys own tapestry-hung marble dining-room at Great Estates by a dozen footmen in satin knee breeches, file into the dining camp and take their places at a long pine table, painted turkey red, on ordinary wooden kitchen chairs, also red! The floral decoration is of laurel leaves in vases made of preserve jars covered with birch bark. Glass and china is of the cheapest. But there are a long centerpiece of hemstitched crash and crash doilies, and there are real napkins, and at each plate a birch bark napkin ring with a number on it. Mrs. Worldly looks at her napkin ring as though it were an insect. One or two of the others who have not been there before, look mildly surprised.
Mrs. Kindhart smiles, Im sorry, but I told you it was roughing it. Any one who prefers innumerable paper napkins to using a washed one twice, is welcome. But one napkin a day apiece is camp rule! Mrs. Worldly tries to look amiable, all the rest succeed.
The food is limited in variety but delicious. There are fresh trout from the lake and venison steak; both well cooked in every way that can be devised appear at every meal. All other supplies come in hampers from the city. The head cook is the Kindharts own, and so is the butler, with one of the chauffeurs (when home) to help him wait on table. They wear liveries, evolved by Mrs. Kindhart, of gray flannel trousers, green flannel blazers, very light gray flannel shirts, black ties, and moccasins!
The table service, since there are only two to wait on twenty including the children, is necessarily somewhat farmer style; ice, tea, rolls, butter, marmalade, cake, fruit, are all on the table, so that people may help themselves.
After luncheon Kindhart points out a dozen guides who are waiting at the boat-house to take anyone who wants to be paddled or to sail or to go out into the woods. There is a small swimming pool which can be warmed artificially. Those who like it cold swim in the lake. All the men disappear in groups or singly with a guide. The women go with their husbands, or two together, with a guide. Should any not want to go out, she can take to one of the hammocks, or a divan in the living-room, and a book.
At first sight, this hospitality seems inadequate, but its discomfort is one of outward appearance only. The food is abundant and delicious, whether cooked in the house or by the guides in the woods. The beds are comfortable; there are plenty of warm and good quality, though not white, blankets. Sheets are flannel or cotton as preferred. Pillow cases are linen, towels of the bath variety because washing can be done by natives near by, but ironing is difficult. Let no one, however, think that this is a simple (by that meaning either easy or inexpensive) form of entertainment! Imagine the budget! A dozen guides, teams and drivers, natives to wash and clean and to help the cook; food for two or three dozen people sent hundreds of miles by express!
It is true that the buildings are of the most primitive, and the furnishings, too. The bureau drawers do stick, and there is only curtained closet room, and mirrors are few and diminutive, and orders for hot water have to be given ahead of time, but there is no discomfort, except bathing in the cold! The huge fire, lighted early every morning by one of the guides in each guest house, keeps the main part fairly warm but the temperature of one of the bathrooms on a cold morning is scarcely welcoming.
People do not dress for dinner, that is, not in evening clothes. After coming in from walking or shooting or fishing, if it is warm they swim in the pool or have their guides bring them hot water for a bath. Women change into house gowns of some sort. Men put on flannel trousers, soft shirts, and flannel or serge sack coats.
In the evening, if it is a beautiful night, every one sits on steamer chairs wrapt in rugs around the big fire built out doors in front of a sort of penthouse or windbreak. Or if it is stormy, they sit in front of a fire, almost as big, in the living-room. Sometimes younger ones pop corn or roast chestnuts, or perhaps make taffy. Perhaps some one tells a story, or some one plays and everyone sings. Perhaps one who has parlor tricks amuses the othersbut as a rule those who have been all day in the open are tired and drowsy and want nothing but to stretch out for a while in front of the big fire and then turn in.
The etiquette of this sort of a party is so apparently lacking that its inclusion perhaps seems out of place. But it is meant merely as a picture of a phase of fashionable life that is not much exploited, and to show that well-bred people never deteriorate in manner. Their behavior is precisely the same whether at Great Estates or in camp. A gentleman may be in his shirt sleeves actually, but he never gets into shirt sleeves mentallyhe has no inclination to.
To be sure, on the particular party described above, Mrs. Worldly wore a squirrel fur cap in the evening as well as the daytime; she said it was because it was so warm and comfortable. It was really because she could not do her hair!
Perhaps some one asks about Ernest? At the end of two days of aloof and distasteful idleness, Ernest became quite a human being; invaluable as baiter of worms for the childrens fish-hooks, as extra butler, and did not scorn even temporary experiments as kitchen-maid. In fact, he proved the half-hearted recommendation that he might be useful so thoroughly that the first person of all to be especially invited for next year and future years, wasexactlyErnest.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after an Alaska Airlines jet was told to abort its landing because another plane crossed the runway.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says an air traffic controller had Flight 157 make another approach to Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport on Saturday after a chartered Boeing 737 taxied across the runway without authorization.
The plane landed on the second attempt.
Gregor said in an email that the "go-around" is a routine procedure to maintain safe distances between aircraft.
The two planes were about a mile and a half apart when the go-around order was issued.
Alaska Airlines spokesman Paul McElroy says there were no injuries to the 157 passengers or six crewmembers aboard the Los Angeles-to-Anchorage flight.

Zuidland (Zuid-Holland, Netherlands)
Zuidland, a hamlet on the island of Putten, Dutch province of South Holland, where there was a small Flemish Mennonite church, which in the 17th century was more or less united with the Geervliet and Spijkenisse congregation. It died out before 1700. It is uncertain when this congregation was founded; it may have existed in the middle of the 16th century. Jan Jansz Brant, of Zuidland, a Mennonite martyr, was executed at Geervliet in 1559.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The Bristol Tennessee Little League hosted a banquet for its 10 teams participating in the annual 9 and 10 -year-old State Baseball Tournament at the MacClellan Hall Dining Center on Friday, July 13, 2012. King College Baseball head coach Blaine Brown and assistant coach George Laoo both address a packed house of players, parents, and their families about the joys of youth baseball for all involved.
Photo gallery - click here
Prior to dinner service, assistant coach George Laoo reminisced on his playing days as a southwest Virginia little leaguer competing for state titles and then made way for Head Coach Blaine Brown. In front of players and families of the ten teams from across the state of Tennessee, Brown emphasized the joy that the game brings to all those involved in the Little League system as well as how youth baseball should be focused on the fun that it provides.
"Always remember, baseball is an amazing game," said Brown. "Too often we all forget how fun and awesome this game is meant to be so when you go out there this weekend, just have fun."
Brown and Laoo then engaged the crowd with what, but baseball talk. Players from all teams swarmed both coaches as they threw stats, facts, and trivia at one another until the next attraction of the night began his act.
After a short social session a smorgasbord of pizza, cake, and beverages were served to all in attendance before a live performance from local magician, David Vaught. After dazzling a large crowd with illusions and tricks that turned one-hundred dollar bills into one dollar bills, transplanted wedding rings into unopened tea bags, and made tabletops float the crowd over more than 200 people dispersed into the night to prepare for the week-long tournament.
The Tennessee Little League 9 and 10-year old State Baseball Tournament begins on Saturday morning with the first pitch of the tournament being thrown at 11 a.m. The tournament will be played from Saturday, July 14 through Friday, July 20 (weather permitting) at West Field on Cedar Street in Bristol, Tenn.
Teams participating include Saint Bethlehem, Goodlettsville American, Karns, Johnson City American, Johnson City National, Greeneville American, District 2, Tullahoma American, Lawrenceburg, and Lexington.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's prosecutor general submitted his resignation Monday less than a month after he was swiftly sworn in by the Islamist president, who is embroiled in a power struggle with the judiciary.
If Talaat Abdullah's resignation is accepted, it will be a blow to President Mohammed Morsi, who last month had given himself near absolute powers placing him above judicial oversight. Morsi issued decrees that banned judges from challenging him or the Islamist-dominated panel that wrote the country's contested draft constitution.
On Monday, hundreds of public prosecutors staged a sit-in outside Abdullah's office in Cairo. They were pushed back by police when they tried to storm the building.
They were demanding he resign, saying the president's appointment of Abdullah was improper. They said the Supreme Judicial Council should have been the one to nominate him, in order to ensure a separation of powers, since the prosecutor is also tasked with looking into complaints against the government.
Abdullah said in a statement carried by the official MENA news agency that he would be willing to step down on Sunday, a day after the second leg of voting in a nationwide referendum on the draft constitution.
His predecessor, Abdel-Maguid Mahmoud, was appointed by former President Hosni Mubarak and served in the post for more than a decade. Mahmoud faced widespread accusations that his office did a shoddy job collecting evidence against Mubarak and other ex-regime officials in trials.
While many in Egypt were not opposed to Mahmoud's removal, some disagreed with the way he was ousted and replaced by Abdullah.
Morsi first tried to fire Mahmoud in October but had to rescind his decision when he found that the powers of his office did not give him the authority him to do so. He appointed Abdullah with his newly declared powers in late November.
The decrees sparked mass demonstrations and deadly clashes.
In another blow to Morsi, the State Council of Judges said Monday it will not oversee the second part of the vote on the draft constitution. They join the powerful judges' union and most of Egypt's judges, who are refusing to monitor the vote to protest Morsi's actions against the judiciary.
Zaghloul el-Blashi, the head of Egypt's committee overseeing the referendum on the constitution, told the privately-owned CBC TV station that the State Council of Judges' boycott affects 1,500 judges out of 7,000 who oversaw the first leg of the vote last Saturday. The second leg is scheduled for this Saturday.
On Sunday, representatives of seven rights groups charged that there was insufficient supervision by judges in last Saturday's vote in 10 of Egypt's 27 provinces, and independent monitors were prevented from witnessing vote counts.
According to Egyptian law, voting must be overseen by judges, and their absence could cast doubt on the legitimacy of the vote.

In 2003, Jamie Johnson's Born Rich profiled several young scions who spoke frankly about a "taboo" subject they'd been scrupulously taught to avoid: their family's money.
In his new film, The One Percent , Johnson exposes this taboo to deeper scrutiny, questioning the efficacy of a system that allows a widening gap to exist between America's most wealthy individuals, and the rest of us. As Johnson notes, "one percent of Americans own roughly 40 percent of the country's wealth, and they share an aggregate net worth that is greater than the net worth of the bottom 90 percent combined. Even though the last 26 years have brought America the largest economic boom in the history of finance, most of the rewards went to those who are already at the top of the ladder - and they still do."
Concerned about the widening chasm between the rich and everyone else, Johnson tracks down several icons of capitalism, pressing them to elaborate on their beliefs.
Milton Friedman, the celebrated economist and champion of the "trickle down" economics that began with Ronald Reagan and continues today, chastens Johnson for suggesting increased taxes for the rich, calling his ideas socialist before cutting short the interview.
Others are more circumspect, including Paul Orfalea, whom we see giving up a dollar to a beggar outside his first Kinko's store, and Karl Muth, a investment-bank heir who lives with a tangible symbol of resentment in his once-depressed Chicago neighborhood: a bullet hole in his apartment window, no doubt shot by a less-affluent neighbor.
Other intriguing subjects of The One Percent include Adnan Khashoggi, the billionaire at the center of the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal; Roy Martin, a Louisiana lumber tycoon who uses his Bible as a guideline for business and life; Chuck Collins, a great-grandson of Oscar Meyer who gave up his inheritance for moral reasons; Bill Gates, Sr., conscientious father of the world's richest man; Cody Franchetti, Italian baron and stateside socialite; and (in abstentia) Alfie and Pepe Fanjul, industrialists who made millions harvesting Everglades sugar and selling it at guaranteed high prices to consumers and the U.S. government.

Video Shows How Patent Trolls Kill Innovation
from the uniloc-again dept
"You can't separate the problem with the patent troll from the problem with software patents," says Samuels. "There are hundreds of thousands of software patents floating around that are really broad, that are really vague ... and a lot of them are bought up by patent trolls."Nothing in the story or the video will really be all that new to regular Techdirt readers, but it's great to see more attention being given to the problems of patent trolls and how they harm innovation. It's also great to see it come from Reason.TV, a part of the libertarian Reason Foundation -- as there is still some dispute among the wider "libertarian" crowd as to whether or not the patent system is good or bad. It's felt like there's been a growing recognition that the answer is "bad," and hopefully videos like this represent a recognition that the scale is tipping.

The new Lake Wobegon
Minnesota playwright brings small town life, regrets to the stage
By Jerry Tallmer
You can take the boy out of Minnesota, but you cant take Minnesota out of the boy.
It is in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes that playwright Craig Wright spent the years from age 14 to 36.
His Recent Tragic Events, a sharp short drama done at Playwrights Horizons a couple of seasons ago, was about twin sisters, one of whom, an advertising executive in Minnesota, is sweating out whether the other has survived 9/11 in New York. And now comes The Pavilion, which takes place in a town called Pine City on the shore of one of those ten thousand lakes. Amidst a tangle of lives at a high-school reunion, a man who ran out on the girl he got pregnant 20 years earlier tries to overcome her scorn and get her back.
You can also try to take the boy out of Proust and Dante and Dylan Thomas and Goya and Bergson and Joyce and Saroyan and Thornton Wilder, but within The Pavilion there are hints of all those people, from lines like Christ is born, and a second later, nailed to a tree (Dylan Thomas, Francisco Goya) to In the middle of life, we find ourselves alive (Dante, William Saroyan).
Most of those reflections are voiced during what might be called prologues to Act I and Act II, none of which keeps the mortal stuff at the center of the play the Proustian passage of lives and years that do not turn out the way anyone expected from being tough, startling, and fully believable.
Under the direction of Lucie Tiberghein, The Pavilion is now in previews toward a September 20 opening. Brian Darcy James plays Peter, the man in case; Jennifer Mudge plays Kari, the ditched girl 20 years later, long married to a sexual boor, and Stephen Bogardus is both the narrator and a batch of other interlocking characters
This is the fourth Craig Wright play set in a fictional Pine City, Minnesota. Why Pine City? Because everyone in my plays always seems to be pining. And then, says Wright, after Id written The Pavilion, I found out that there was a real Pine City and it even had a real pavilion.
Life imitates art and vice versa.
This play, says Wright, is very loosely based on an experience that happened to a friend of mine not the high-school reunion, but Wrights friends long-ago abandonment of a pregnant girl. In the play, the boys father leaned on him to dump her (Son, heres what were gonna do), and Peter the Peter of 20 years earlier caved in.
Which bespeaks a certain cowardice, no?
Um-hm, said Craig Wright, a few hours before catching a plane back to Los Angeles, where the Minnesotan has spent the past three years writing for hit television shows like Six Feet Under and Lost.
And it takes Peter 20 years to change his mind?
To run out of gas, says Wright. To realize that two decades later, his whole life, emotionally, is running on empty.
One feels distant echoes of Molly Bloom, Joyces powder-keg poetic embodiment of Womanhood, in Karis powerful Act II soliloquy that begins: This morning, Hans [her husband] was inside me, right?
I agree, says Wright. But as the author of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake has said, the artifacts and constructs in our life are a lot more mysterious and lasting than anyone knows. So the universals [of art and life] are pretty much the same.
But what I like in a play, I explain, are the specifics.
Yes, says Wright, but specifics are different sorts of windows that open onto the same fields.
Theres a good deal of talk about eternity in your prologues, I say.
Yes, says Wright, but to me its necessary. There has to be a beginning. There has to be a box. I will say this: There are two ways to think about beginnings: one, the Big Bang; two, before the Big Bang, an impetus to have a Big Bang. Life seems to feel that way, to me as if life were already constructed.
Sounds reminiscent of whatchamacallit, that thing thats going around. Intelligent Design?
But Im talking about the opposite, says Wright. Not of an intelligence designing reality, but of an intelligence destroying itself. When things go wrong in life, I dont think theres anyone out there to help. Things proceed according to a random chaotic mechanism.
This from a man who at the age of 29, Jewish at birth, entered Minnesotas United Theological Seminary at a black moment in his playwriting careerwhen an early work of his was canceled at the Hartford Stage Company (I thought: Well, maybe I can become a minister)and who has in the past given cabaret readings-cum-performances of the Gospel of St. Mark (á la Alec McCowen on Broadway).
Why Mark? Wright has been asked. Its short, was his jesting answer. But now he says: Because a text like that, when written down in the Bible, comes out a lot more foundational and immovable than I think it was really meant to be. When you say it out loud, it seems a lot more flexible, plangeable, open, and creative. Not a monument.
How would that tie back to The Pavilion?
Only in that were the only creatures on the planet that use language and have invented God.
A God who would permit, for instance, this past fortnight at New Orleans?
As a matter of fact, a third of the way into The Pavilion theres a song Peter sings to his onetime classmates. Here are two stanzas:
Those lines could have been written about New Orleans, though they werent, they predated it. Wrights wife, Lorraine LeBlanc, is from what was once New Orleans. They are the parents of 16-year-old Louis, with whom Wright has sometimes debated the Gospel of St. Mark.
Craig Wright was born June 15, 1965, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, one of the places where his father worked for conglomerates, closing things down, reconfiguring projects sort of a hatchet man, really. His father was also married six times.
Wright was always writing various things. At 21 wrote his first play, Crocodiles. It won him a Jerome Foundation fellowship, but has never been produced and doubtless will never be. Has current commissions from the Actors Theater of Louisville and the Harford Stage Company (ah hah!). I take commissions a lot. It keeps me in the theater.
It was the poet James Merrill who 10 or more years ago said to Craig Wright that the highest achievement in poetry was that of Dante; the highest achievement in prose, Marcel Proust. But its another Frenchman, philosopher Henry Bergson (1859-1941), that Wright has been recently reading.
In Bergson, you find a similar world to Pavilion floating around. Bergson tries to advise us that moments are not Craig Wrights hands chop up and down, like chopping chips off a log but in a line, a sort of extension. Not that I was right, says Wright, because no one is right.
Peter certainly isnt. Nor Kari, either. Kari Hari-Kari, as Peter calls her. At the Pavilion its time for the sweetheart dance, everybody. After which, the dear old Pavilion is going to be torched by the Fire Department before it falls down.

Older News » Schools tackle cyberbullyingLast updated 10:55 AM on 15 September 2011
Students from across the state shared their views on cyberbullying at a recent community forum in Sydney.
The one-day event also brought educators, academics, social media experts, parents and community members together to hear current research findings and to explore strategies to address cyberbullying.
Students from 23 NSW public schools were present at the forum, with another 19 regional schools - including parents and community members - participating via videoconference.
One in ten children affected
Keynote speaker and director of Edith Cowan University's Child Health Promotion Research Centre, Professor Donna Cross, said cyberbullying was a growing problem, with one in 10 Australian children affected.
According to Professor Cross's research, traditional forms of bullying, such as physical violence, were decreasing while the incidence of cyberbullying was increasing at the rate of two or three per cent a year.
"We have a portion of children who are now engaging in this behaviour because they can use a medium where they can hide," she said.
Most cyberbullying occurs at home
Professor Cross said most cyberbullying occurred while young people were at home and that half of the victims did not know the identity of perpetrator, which added to the feeling of vulnerability.
Marilyn Campbell, associate professor of psychology at the Queensland University of Technology, said the responses to cyberbullying had so far focused on cyber-safety measures.
"We seem to emphasise protection of all kids. Should we have the same emphasis on preventing the kids bullying in the first place?" Dr Campbell said.
"Sure we need to understand the technology ... but we can't forget this is a behavioural issue that requires a behavioural response," Professor Cross said.
Community-wide solutions needed
NSW education minister Verity Firth said the Department of Education took the issue of bullying in schools seriously and has developed comprehensive anti-bullying programs, policies and procedures.
However, Ms Firth said it was not always possible to deal with cyberbullying in the same ways as bullying that occurs in other ways.
"At the heart of this issue is understanding the prominence of social media in a young person's life and finding the safest ways it can be used," she said.
"We need a national, multi-agency approach to improve cyber safety and it needs to transcend government departments - it needs to include community, industry, educators, students and society as a whole."
The education department is already helping parents understand social media and technology, with the bi-monthly e-zine,
Click-a technology guide for parents.
Watch out for the special Cyberbullying issue of Click, online December 2009.

Your Potential Children and Kids
10-08-2012, 04:45 PM (This post was last modified: 10-08-2012 04:48 PM by LadyJane.)
Your Potential Children and Kids
If you don't have kids yet, I suggest not taking that road. Parenting children hurts- like, a lot.
So. Much.
There is this survival instinct in us that drives us to live on as a species. There is this part that maybe only parents can know and feel, I mean to know exactly. Not just understand it. I realize not every parent is like this, there are post-partum depressions or attachment disorders, or other factors, that might not strengthen this biological component to parenthood. But, for me, I'm completely fucked.
I never ever thought love could actually hurt. When I realize how much I love my children, as a mother, it makes me physically ill. Like someone has stabbed me in the heart- a sharp and dull ache at the same time. I want to puke.
And just when that is bad enough, I realize how time is against me. Everyday they are bigger, every day they are slipping from my arms. Who knew unconditional love could make a person this sad.
When I had my eldest daughter I knew the night before I had her that I was going to because I had a scheduled induction. Before I saw her face, knew her gender or felt who she is- I cried myself to sleep. I didn't want a still birth, I didn't want to drop her, I didn't want her to choke, I didn't want a kidnapper to steal her, I didn't want her to get a horrible disease, I didn't want her to be bullied at school, I didn't want her to become addicted to drugs, I didn't want her to have an abusive spouse and I want to see her until she is an old grandma, years after I have died.
I didn't want her to have a human experience for its treachery.
I cried myself to sleep.
Holding her in my arms the next day, I won't lie, was a single truly magical feeling and it was surreal, in the most amazing way.
And ever since then, for both my girls, I feel helpless that they already aren't mine. They don't belong to me and I can't keep them. It is freakin' brutal.
When I held them as babies, I wanted to stop time. I wanted to find the largest mass in the universe so we could live on it and have time slow down to nearly zero.
I try not to have this overwhelm me. Maybe I should never listen to music, because that doesn't usually help (ha ha). But I usually try to turn this into something positive. Fill our days with simple meaningful moments, like eating popcorn around a fire or silly fun. Maybe I make art or go running to just deal with what's bubbling over. But it's a shadow that is always here.
So yeah... jus so ya know, that might happen to you. And as much as babies are cute (and tasty!) they come with doom.
(usually an upbeat poster, I am- but this is what you get today.)

RE: Your Potential Children and Kids
Yes, I'm right there with you. Which is why I know for fact that if anyone was to hurt my child I would snap. I wouldn't be me anymore. And if someone hurt my child on purpose I would have a very long jail sentence ahead of me.

RE: Your Potential Children and Kids
We don't have kids, yet, but soon we want to get pregnant (yes I am saying that as plural because my hubby is going to get a fair share of my pregnancy hahaha).
I know that I have a very strong mommy gene in me. I always had a very protective side of me, so when I was little I would protect smaller kids and animals, later I would be protective for my friends and pets...
From my profession and having worked with kids, I know how much some things do hurt (I connect with the kids quite fast), like seeing how some kids with so much potential will never have a chance in live because of their stupid parents. Such things do hurt me and I want to be a better mother than a lot that I have seen.
I want to love, and educate my child, I want to protect it, I want to make it laugh and think about things, I want to teach it good values and moral.
Yes, I know that love can hurt physically, it can hurt like getting a bad punch in the stomach, like being hit by a truck. But I don't want my kids to be the center of my negative emotions, of being all scared about all the bad things on the planet. I want to enjoy as much time with them as I can and when they grew up, I want to send them into the world with the knowledge that they will do just fine.
Sorry, this is a big topic for me, because we have been waiting for the good times and of being able to try for babies, so long and now this is actually becoming possible... And I am curious and excited.... hehe

I felt similarly when my older brother left the house. I thought he would be a brother, right there for me forever...

Sounds to me like you're pregnant again. Especially the part about feeling like you want to puke.
It was just a fucking apple man, we're sorry okay? Please stop the madness

I'm fairly confident your girls are not yet teenagers. If they were, I suspect the op would have looked more like this:
I hate children. Especially my own.
Lol, just messin with ya. But the thought of them "leaving the nest" really does get a little easier as they get older. Only a little though.
So many cats, so few good recipes.

I'm sure I've said it here before, and I try not to let my daughter know, but teens are my absolute favourite. I worked at a teen drop in for years, best time of my life!
I'm secretly one of those moms who probably would have breast fed them until their wedding day if it weren't against my better judgement, lol. It takes a lot of effort on my part to take them out of the bubble I want to keep them in.
If I'm anything like my mom, which I am, she tells me it never gets easier and she still worries about us all the time. I'm sure I'm following the family footsteps.
Makes me wonder if it's an instinct that is genetic in some way- or maybe a nurtured behavior.
RE: Your Potential Children and Kids
Been a mom now for almost...gasp...36 years. There were times I was ready to kill to protect my kids.
Then estrogen made my daughters nuts.
When I signed up on Myspace, I was tempted to put 'undecided' for an answer to do you want to have children...at that point, I'd have sold both girls for a nickel. Actually I may have paid someone to take them. There are still days like that.
See here they are, the bruises, some were self-inflicted and some showed up along the way. -JF

RE: Your Potential Children and Kids
I don't have kids, and at 41 am not likely to. But every dream I've had about babies has been about me dropping them, or leaving them at the grocery store, or forgetting their names and birthdays.
I work in a school though. Kids are pretty rough and I'm kind of glad I don't live with any.

Outdoor Recreation
Outdoor recreation is one of the best ways to connect with nature and ourselves. Yet America isn't getting outside the way it used to. Our outdoor recreation programs aim to help change this and create lasting bonds between people and wilderness.
Outdoor recreation is important for:
- Mental health
- Physical health
- Connecting people to wilderness
- Cultivating stewardship
Simply put, our wildlands serve as a healer and a playground for millions of people.
Youth recreation
Children across the nation are getting outdoors less than ever before. Yet, children can be America's best wilderness advocates. When kids play in our national forests, national parks and wildlife refuges, they develop a deep love for nature, turning them into the next generation of wildland stewards.
Recreation trails
Over 50 million people recreate on America's trail systems every year. Trails are the way that the majority of people are able to experience nature. Our work ensures trails are well maintained and that people have great trail experiences.
Recreation funding
Visiting our wildlands is inexpensive, but making those lands available costs money. Congress provides funding to land management agencies for maintenance and restoration of our forests and other public lands. But agency budgets are shrinking. The Wilderness Society advocates on behalf of our lands and the people who help keep them open and healthy for the public.
Outdoor recreation FAQs
Check out our outdoor recreation FAQs and learn something new!
Support our recreation work
We couldn't do our outdoor recreation work without the help of members and donors like you. Please join us in our efforts to keep wild places available for generations to come.
Stay current on legislation moving in Congress, issues affecting wilderness and wilderness designation campaigns with our Notes from the Hill.
Add your voice to important wilderness causes and take action to stop threats to our wildlands by joining our community of wilderness activists.

POLK COUNTY, Ga. -- A grieving family is calling for justice after a 21-month-old passed away over the weekend.
Polk County Police have opened an investigation into the death of Ella Grayce Pointer.
The child was taken to a local hospital early Saturday morning and then airlifted to Egleston Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

Shellby Garner, the child's mother, said she was working the third shift when she got a call that her daughter had stopped breathing.
"She was gone for 30 minutes and they revived her. Her heartbeat was all hers," Garner said. "But she was already gone. Her body was there, but she was already gone."
Pointer passed away Sunday afternoon.
"All I know is I went to work and I came back and my baby was dead," Garner said. "My baby was gone."
Family members said that emergency workers made disturbing discoveries about the child.
"They worked on her, carried her to the hospital...continued to work on her and that's when they told us that she had sustained major brain injuries. Major organ injuries. Sexual abuse," said Joy Shell, the child's grandmother.
Police haven't said what led to little Ella's death. They did say she was with two men at the time, including 27-year-old Dustin Putnal.
Putnal, who was Garner's boyfriend, was arrested for violating his probation. The other man's name hasn't been released.
"For this tragedy to happen, I don't understand how anybody or anything," Shell said. "I don't understand evil in the world that can do this. I just don't understand."
The hashtag #JusticeforEllaGrayce is being heavily used by family and friends, pushing for police to make an arrest.
"She was the light of everybody's life," Shell said. "Beautiful. Caring. Loving. Generous. I could go on for days and days. Justice will be served. Justice will be served. We will make sure of it."
A vigil was held Monday night in the parking lot of the Cedartown Home Depot.

The family is collecting donations to help with burial. They can be sent to the Lester Litsey Funeral Home.
